Texte intégralRésumé :
The coalification rank of the coal blend components and their caking properties initially impact the coke’s quality. In part, the quality of coke depends on the technological parameters of the coke production technology, such as the method of blend preparation, the coking condition, the design features of the coke ovens, and the technique used for post-oven treatment. Therefore, to improve the coke quality, the main attention is paid to the quality of the coal blend. The petrographic analysis is the simplest and most reliable way to control coal quality indicators under industrial conditions. In this paper, the effect of nine industrial blends on coke quality using petrographic analysis has been studied. Additionally, this paper addresses the efficient use of coals and the preparation of coal mixtures under industrial conditions, which contributes to the sustainability of cokemaking. For the preparation of blends, 17 coals were used, for which, in addition to petrographic and proximate analyzes, the maximum thickness of the plastic layer was determined. Industrially produced cokes were analyzed for coke reactivity index (CRI), coke strength after reaction with CO2 (CSR), and Micum indices (M25 and M10). It has been established that the petrographic properties of coal blends are reliable parameters for assessing the quality of coke under conditions of an unstable raw material base, multi-component blends, and changes in coking regimes. Moreover, the research results have shown that to ensure the rational use of coals in the preparation of coal blends to achieve the required coke quality and consequently the sustainability of cokemaking, it is necessary to consider not only the mean reflectance of vitrinite but the proximate and caking properties of coals.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Rational conditions for orientational drawing of PETg/PET polyester blend during processing into tape products are established. Tensile strength and elongation at break for all test specimens were determined according to ISO 527-2: 2012. Tensile modulus - ISO 527-1: 2019, specimen density - PN-EN ISO 1183-1, change of linear dimensions of specimens - ISO 16012: 2015. It was found that the introduction of PET into PETg leads to an increase in tensile strength of the blend, which is probably due to the process of orientational crystallization of PET. When the orientations are higher than 5.5 times in the PETg /PET mixtures, cavitation foaming occurs, which leads to a decrease in the blend density, its turbidity and a decrease in tensile strength. Blends with a high content of PETg have a significant thermal shrinkage, which should be taken into account when processing and applying these polymers. Physical and mechanical properties of PETg/PET polyesters blend with different ratio in the process of orientational stretching are established. The tensile strength increases with the increase drawing ratio for blends with high PET content due to its orientation crystallization. The phenomenon of cavitation foaming in polyester blend with draw ratio more than 5.5 times is found, which is accompanied by a decrease in the density of the samples and their tensile strength. Presence of PETg in PET matrix decrease tensile strength and elongation and significantly increase thermal shrinkage. Low elongation at break found for PETg/PET blend specimen without orientation which increases dramatically with low draw ratios and then decrease with higher drawing ratio. The technological modes of realization of cavitation foaming for the PETg/PET mixture at orientation drawing ratio above 5.5 due to the different phase structure of the components of the mixtures have been established. The introduction of PETg into PET leads to a significant increase in thermal shrinkage and reduces the physical and mechanical performance of oriented products.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this paper, the co-combustion behavior of the walnut shell, biochar, and coal, and the respective binary and ternary blends were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in the oxy-fuel atmosphere (21% O2/79% CO2). The combustion reactivity of coal was similar to biochar but lower than that of the walnut shell. The presence of the walnut shell improved the combustion performance of coal and biochar. The interaction between only biochar and coal was inhibited in the binary blends. The presence of the walnut shell in the ternary blend covered up the inhibition between biochar and coal. The average activation energy of each sample was obtained using the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) kinetic models. The results of this study provide a reference for the rational utilization of biomass and biochar and the practical improvement of the thermal conversion efficiency of coal.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Livestock feed blend formulation is an important process in livestock industry. This process will help the livestock industry nowadays to keep providing continuous supply of animal protein food to cater for the expanding and increasing demand as Malaysia is undergoing a rapid growth in economic and human population. The formulation of feed blend involves multiple objectives to be achieved through the decision making process. In this project, Goal Programming (GP) method is used to formulate the livestock feed blend for a farm situated in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. This method is an approach of assisting the decision makers to solve multiple objectives for livestock feed blend in determining an optimal combination of ingredients to meet the nutritional requirements. This will lead to a rational use of available resources by minimizing the production cost and maximizing the nutritional value required for the growth of livestock. The nutrition for the livestock is dry matter (DM), metabolism energy (ME), crude protein (CP) and crude fiber (CF). Then, the preemptive model is tested using LINGO software and the results have been validated by using Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). All of the multiple objectives have been fully achieved which represents the ability of the goal programming model to comply with optimizing the feed blend formulation.

Globalization had the great influence on architectural culture. Rational and fighting spirit, the individual and subject consciousness, religion and willpower of Western culture were represented on buildings. And Confucianism and Taoism, with other various internal and foreign Buddhist, complement each other, became the main line of ancient China thought, were penetrated and cohered in all aspects of Chinese buildings. In the globalized world, the architect should explore the rational core and objective laws of architectural development, and consciously promote the continuous development of traditional regional architecture, activate special cultural value of regional architecture. Based on the absorption, blend and innovation of both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign architectural excellence culture, the Chinese architectural culture will be full of vitality.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Nowadays, biodiesel and vegetable oils have received increasing attention as renewable clean alternative fuels to fossil diesel fuel because of decreasing petroleum reserves and increasing environmental concerns. However, the straight use of biodiesel and vegetable oils in pure form results in several operational and durability problems in diesel engines because of their higher viscosity than fossil diesel fuel. One of the most used methods for solving the high viscosity problem is to blend them with fossil diesel fuel or alcohol. The reliable viscosity and density data of various biodiesel-diesel-alcohol ternary blends or biodiesel-diesel binary blends are plentifully available in existing literature, however, there is still the scarcity of dependable measurement values on different biodiesel-diesel-vegetable oil ternary blends at various temperatures. Therefore, in this study, waste cooking oil biodiesel (ethyl ester) was produced, and it was blended with fossil diesel fuel and waste cooking oil at different volume ratios to prepare ternary blends. Viscosities and densities of the ternary blends were determined at different temperatures according to DIN 53015 and ISO 4787 standards, respectively. The variation in viscosity with respect to temperature and oil fraction and the change of density vs. temperature were evaluated, rational and exponential models were proposed for these variations, and these models were tested against the density and viscosity data measured by the authors, Nogueira et al. and Baroutian et al. by comparing them to Gupta et al. model, linear model, Cragoe model and ANN (artificial neural networks) previously recommended in existing literature.

BOSCHIROLI, MARIA ALESSANDRA. « Local parametric bézier interpolants for triangular meshes : from polynomial to rational schemes ». Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/27853.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Problems of "Reverse Engineering" type are recurrent in Computer Aided (Geometric) Design (CA(G)D) and in computer graphics, in general. They consist in the reconstruction of objects from point clouds.
In computer graphics, for visualisation purposes, for example, the existing solutions consist in triangulating the point data and then fitting them with planar triangles. The object is thus approximated by a piecewise linear surface, which is only C0 continuous. In order to obtain a smooth aspect a huge amount of triangles is necessary. Triangular meshes are widely used because they are sufficiently general to represent surfaces of arbitrary genus.
The goal of this thesis, after having acquired an overview of the existing literature, was to present a scattered data interpolation method by means of polynomial and rational parametric surfaces in Bézier form of the lowest possible degree.
Every method that tries to solve a data fitting problem encounters the same main difficulty: dealing with the smoothness of the surface. To be useful for surface design, a data fitting scheme must produce a smooth surface. After a brief introduction, in chapter 2 we analyse the existing continuous interpolatory curved shape surface schemes. They recently emerged to address specific requirements of the resource-limited hardware environments and to provide smooth surfaces by visually enhancing the resulting C0 surface by using as little information as possible.
The bibliographic study allowed us also to analyse what is called vertex consistency problem. This problem is about the limitations involved when constructing G1-continuous surfaces by means of triangular Bézier patches. The G1 methods proposed until now in the literature either bypass the problem or find the way to construct the surface in such a way that it is solvable. In chapter 3, we briefly describe the interesting recently published solutions and we focus our attention on quadratic patches by analysing some particular G1-conditions and describing our first attempts to solve them.
Then, in chapter 4 we treat G1 rational blend interpolatory schemes, i.e., those methods that use rational blends to construct the surface avoiding the vertex consistency problem. The study of the existing schemes allowed us to develop a new cubic polynomial Gregory patch. Its generalisation to a rational patch is currently a work in progress. The first results to improve the surface shape of our schemes on arbitrary meshes, preserving its good approximation behaviour and, possibly, keeping its computational cost as low as possible, are shown in chapter 5.
Finally, in chapter 6 we conclude summarising and commenting the work presented in this thesis.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis studies how young adults in today's Swedish Pentecostal congregations describe their beliefs and their congregational life. The thesis applies a theoretic frame of Rational Choice Theory and compares the results with previous research/adjacent studies close to the field. The relevance of this thesis lies in that research on young adults in the Swedish Pentecostal movement is a comparatively unexplored area. The reason to write about young adults in the Swedish Pentecostal movement is rooted in the prospect that this thesis could be a starting point for further studies on young adults in the Swedish Pentecostal movement. The thesis was a qualitative and quantitative multi-method study. The thesis is based on interviews and a questionnaire survey in order to present how young adults in today's Swedish Pentecostal churches describe their beliefs and their congregational life. The thesis identifies some issues that can be raised and investigated in further research on thistopic. Summary of the results The young adults describe that their faith becomes stronger by being part of a Pentecostal congregation. The community of the congregation, both in the smaller and the broader context, confirms the faith which makes their belief stronger. They perceive God as a protector and caretaker, and that God listens to their prayers and cares about them. The subjective part of the faith (the personal relationship with God) they experience as necessary, but they feel that the subjective relationship with God both can be experienced in the church community and solitude. Most of the young adults say they would consider switching the congregation (leave the congregation) if they would not thrive in the congregation or if it would not meet their expectations and needs. The interviews show that the respondents indicate certain preferences that they want to get satisfied and they want to belong to a congregation that can fulfil this. Getting their preferences and needs met is the key to the congregations if they want young adults to stay. The young adults are investing and giving time and commitment to their congregations and want this to generate something back. Most of them thrive in their congregations, but there is room for improvement. Their faith is strong. They are willing to invest in God and then consequently also in their congregations.Godkännandedatum 2019-06-05

Geist, Edward M. Armageddon Insurance. University of North Carolina Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469645254.001.0001.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The dangerous, decades-long arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War begged a fundamental question: how did these superpowers actually plan to survive a nuclear strike? In Armageddon Insurance, the first historical account of Soviet civil defense and a pioneering reappraisal of its American counterpart, Edward M. Geist compares how the two superpowers tried, and mostly failed, to reinforce their societies to withstand the ultimate catastrophe. Drawing on previously unexamined documents from archives in America, Russia, and Ukraine, Geist places these civil defense programs in their political and cultural contexts, demonstrating how each country's efforts reflected its cultural preoccupations and blind spots and revealing how American and Soviet civil defense related to profound issues of nuclear strategy and national values. This work challenges prevailing historical assumptions and unearths the ways Moscow and Washington developed nuclear weapons policies based not on rational strategic or technical considerations but in power struggles between different institutions pursuing their own narrow self-interests.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In recent years, the term “transparency” has emerged as one of the most popular and keenly-touted concepts around. In the economic-political debate, the principle of transparency is often advocated as a prerequisite for accountability, legitimacy, policy efficiency, and good governance, as well as a universal remedy against corruption, corporate and political scandals, financial crises, and a host of other problems. Increased transparency is a bearing ideal behind regulatory reform in many areas, including financial reporting and banking regulation. Individual governments as well as multilateral bodies have launched broad-based initiatives to enhance transparency in both economic and other policy domains. Parallel to these developments, the concept of transparency has seeped its way into academic research in a wide range of social science disciplines, including the economic sciences. This increased importance of transparency in economics and business studies has called for a reference work that surveys existing research on transparency and explores its meaning and significance in different areas. This book is such a reference. Comprised of authoritative yet accessible contributions by leading scholars, this Handbook addresses questions such as: What is transparency? What is the rationale for transparency? What are the determinants and the effects of transparency? And is transparency always beneficial, or can it also be detrimental (if so, when)? This volume offers an up-to-date account of existing work on and approaches to transparency in economic research, discusses open questions, and provides guidance for future research, all from a blend of disciplinary perspectives.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The need for any doctor to comprehend, assimilate, analyse, and form an opinion on data cannot be overestimated. This chapter examines the presentation and handling of such data and its subsequent statistical analysis. It covers the organization and description of data, measures of central tendency such as mean, median, and mode, measures of dispersion (standard deviation), and the problems of missing data. Theoretical distributions, such as the Gaussian distribution, are examined and the possibility of data transformation discussed. Inferential statistics are used as a means of comparing groups, and the rationale and use of parametric and non-parametric tests and confidence intervals is outlined. The analysis of categorical variables using the chi-squared test and assessing the value of diagnostic tests using sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and a likelihood ratio are discussed. Measures of association are covered, namely linear regression, as is time-to-event analysis using the Kaplan–Meier method. Finally, the chapter discusses the statistical analysis used when comparing clinical measurements—the Bland and Altman method. Illustrative examples, relevant to the practice of anaesthesia, are used throughout and it is hoped that this will provide the reader with an outline of the methodologies employed and encourage further reading where necessary.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Strategists are encouraged to identify sustained competitive advantages. This volume takes a different tact and provides a perspective on how organizations adapt over time to changing circumstances. This process is characterized as not driven by the inspired wisdom of a grand strategist, but by an ecology of initiatives within the organization. A central role of the organization is to mediate between the market forces in which it operates and the culling and amplification of these initiatives within the organization. In this spirit, a useful touchstone is that of Mendel, who sits intermediate between the blind watchmaker of a purely Darwinian process and a “chess master” strategist as suggested by stylized rational choice approaches. The “Mendelian executive” operates with intentionality, but this intentionality is with respect to the design of the experimental process rather than the identification of specific pathways forward. The two core conceptual pillars of the work are that of path-dependence, what are the adjacent “spaces” to which an organization might move, and “artificial selection,” how the organization mediates aggregate immediate outcomes and the allocation of resources and rewards to the various initiatives and actors within the organization. Entities that have a sustained lifespan are not static, but engage in processes of renewal, whether cells in the human body or lines of business within a firm. A conceptual framework is provided to illuminate some of the fundamental mechanisms underlying this process.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThe combination of cross-case and within-case analysis in Multi-Method Research (MMR) designs has gained considerable traction in the social sciences over the last decade. One reason for the popularity of MMR is grounded in the idea that different methods can complement each other, in the sense that the strengths of one method can compensate for the blind spots and weaknesses of another and vice versa. In this chapter, we critically address this core premise of MMR with an emphasis on the external validity of applying some cross-case method, like standard regression or Qualitative Comparative Analysis, in combination with case study analysis. After a brief overview of the rationale of MMR, we discuss in detail the problem of deriving generalizable claims about mechanisms in research contexts that likely exhibit mechanistic heterogeneity. In doing so, we clarify what we mean by mechanistic heterogeneity and where researchers should look for potential sources of mechanistic heterogeneity. Finally, we propose a strategy for progressively updating our confidence in the external validity of claims about causal mechanisms through the strategic selection of cases for within-case analysis based on the diversity of the population.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter examines Sally Sayward Wood’s 1800 novel Julia and the Illuminated Baron in the context of the Bavarian Illuminati crisis, arguing that Wood engaged this conflict in order to address concerns about secularity in the early republic. These concerns stemmed from several developments: the rising liberal conception of rational Christianity, the New England Federalist conception of established religion as an efficient means of promoting morality in a republic, and the fragilization of faith that Charles Taylor has associated with religious pluralism. The chapter argues that Wood’s use of gothic form sought to stave off feared secularization by combining an aesthetic sense of religious wonder with Enlightened rationalism. The chapter interprets this blend as a postsecular expression of intertwined modernity and Protestantism that was essential to Wood’s Federalist conception of religion in a republic. The chapter also considers the theological and political influence of Wood’s father Nathanial Barrell’s Sandemanisnism on Wood’s conception of rational Christianity.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Legal material can be systematically divided on the basis of various considerations and criteria. There is no ‘true’ or ‘correct’ system as such, but a division of the system can be regarded as more or less right and proper. The traditional divisions are characterized by a blend of both internal criteria, that is, criteria connected with fundamental features of the structure or content of the legal rules and, thereby, with the fundamental concepts of legal science; and external criteria, that is, criteria which subsume the legal rules in accordance with their application in considering certain typical areas of life. This chapter examines to what extent the traditional way of dividing up topics is determined by, or can be adjusted to, rational and internal criteria.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Modern French town planning discourse was predicated on the idea that better architecture made for better, happier citizens, with rational architectural principles as the means to a fully realised modernity. After 1968, French filmmakers looked to the suburban new towns to voice the ambiguities and contradictions of rapid urbanisation. In Le Chat (Granier-Deferre, 1972), an ageing couple enter a downward social and psychological spiral as new high-rise construction menaces their decrepit suburban villa. The rough-and-ready La Ville bidon (Jacques Baratier, 1976) shows the struggle of junkmen and their marginalised families to resist expropriation at the hands of a town council that aims to develop a new town on a massive dumpsite. A spoof of streamlined post-modern living, Le Couple témoin (William Klein, 1978) parodies new town rhetoric under the guise of social experiment. The chapter concludes with a double reading of Eric Rohmer’s Les Nuits de la pleine lune (1984) and L’Ami de mon amie (1987) which by turns laud the new towns for their blend of leisure and work and deride their programmed aspect. Dysphoric and euphoric elements of suburban living are related to class-based investments and to the elusive prospect of happiness.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Having shown that innate knowledge is a viable scientific hypothesis with considerable evidence in its support, the next three chapters examine laypeople’s intuitions about innate knowledge. We describe a series of experiments that contrasts people’s intuitions about the origins of cognitive traits (those that capture knowledge) and noncognitive traits (either sensory, motor, or emotive capacities). Results show that people believe that cognitive traits are not innate. People maintain these convictions even when they are provided with detailed descriptions of experiments from infant research (those reviewed in previous chapters), complete with an explanation of the rationale and method; while science clearly suggests these principles are present in newborns, people insist that they aren’t. Other results demonstrate that our antinativist intuitions are a bias, as people maintain these intuitions despite explicit evidence to the contrary, and even when they are presented with innate knowledge of nonhuman species. These results show that people are systematically and selectively biased against innate ideas.

Texte intégralRésumé :
It appears that the Ancient Greeks were right in their fear of blindness, caves, and shadows. We are indeed blind, or at the very least, seriously nearsighted. And all these errors in our understanding of human nature emerge from a single source—human nature itself. Although we cannot entirely shed off our biological shackles, recognizing these constraints matters. First, blindness interferes with reasoning about topics that are at the heart of our social and political life, and it derails scholarly discussion of some of the key questions in the history of ideas. Blindness is also in the air. In an era of “fake news,” the systematic spreading of misinformation, and the denial of science, there is no better place to start clearing the public sphere than from within. The third, and most important reason to face our blindness is that we, as the storytellers, care about our stories—they define who we are, personally and collectively, and blindness is our way. While we are bound to think in the shadows of core knowledge, we are not necessarily doomed to utter darkness. Core knowledge is only one component in the rich suite of mechanisms that comprise human cognition; other rational capacities exist, and they allow us to look within, recognize the conspiracy, and begin to counteract it. Our path out of the cave begins with careful self-inspection. Perhaps this book could be a guide.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Chapter 7 turns to Benamozegh’s interpretation of the Noahide Laws, central to his system. Based on rational revelation but with edicts resembling natural law, they convey both internal and external normativity. This ancient legislation functions as a theological construct that sits well with one of modernity’s features: the imperative of locating normativity within itself. Additionally, Benamozegh contended, the legislation shows that Judaism is not ethnocentric in nature and manifests its inclusivism. Yet, in his defense of Noahism as a solution for the crisis of Christianity, he turned a blind eye to the laws’ arguably hierarchical nature which can be taken as indicating minimal universalism.

Texte intégralRésumé :
We live in a time in which spiritual and religious beliefs, ways of knowing and being in the world, are positioned as conflicting and radically incompatible. The purpose of this chapter is to lay out an in-depth rationale for what happens when we engage in religion-blind practices, as well as present general lesson ideas and examples of dialogue that help all of us consider how we come to know our world through belief and unbelief systems. Using musical chant as one way to introduce talking about religion in the classroom, this chapter introduces the reader to one way of opening spaces for discussion about how we come to know our world through belief and unbelief systems.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In spinning mills, the optimum correlation between the raw material properties, the yarn's characteristics and the manufacturing technology, is a key point for the production of good quality yarns. Beyond of its significant influence on the yarn characteristics, the raw material determines also the yarns' cost, representing up to 80% of it. Using the blending technique, in which fibres with different properties are combined in order to obtain mixture with average characteristics, it is possible valorising all types of fibres and producing yarns with desired characteristics. In this regard, the yarn designer has to choose the appropriate fibres and setting the right values for blend ratios, in order to obtain the best correlation between the fibres blend properties and the yarn characteristics. The paper presents a software application used as teaching tool for designing the fibre blends. The PFirL software gathers all the information and provides all the tools required for design of the fibre blends in wool spinning mill. It has a modular structure that includes independent procedures; these can be performed individually or in the logical order imposed by the algorithms underlying the program. The software is used to teach the students the principles of rational fibre blend design and to train them in accordance with the requirements of engineering profession. This tool enables the creation and verification of fibre blends in accordance with the yarns destination, mixture composition and manufacturing technology. It evaluates the spinnability of the designed blends and offers useful information for predicting their behaviour during processing, as well about the yarns' characteristics. The software was created with Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++ and runs in a Windows environment.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Yarn quality is an essential concept, usually defined by the customers which demands simultaneous achievement of several requirements concerning the yarns characteristics. For the cotton type yarns, the tensile properties represent the most important parameters for assessment of yarn quality, because these features are key factors regarding the yarns behaviour in post-spinning operations (warping, weaving and knitting) and have a determinant contribution to the properties of final textile product. Hence, an accurate prediction of these characteristics is very important, from both technological and economic points of view. Providing the conditions for obtaining yarns with specified characteristics requires suitable selection of fibres used in blends, correct setting of the structure parameters of yarns and the processing conditions of the fibrous material, in close correlation with the yarn's end-use requirements, the manufacturing technology and the technical level of equipment. Finding an optimal variant of fibre blend involves considerable amounts of work, time and money. Therefore, the use of dedicated software for designing fibre blends may contribute to reduce these drawbacks and allows obtaining optimal blend recipes faster and more effective. The paper presents a software application developed primarily as a tool for teaching students the principles of rational design of fibre blends intended for cotton yarns with specified characteristics, but it can be also used by the spinning companies. The PFirB software is part of a package developed to support the teaching activities with the students from the Faculty of Textile-Leather and Industrial Management in Iasi, was created with Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++ and runs in a Windows environment.

Texte intégralRésumé :
<p>Infrastructure projects are increasingly becoming more sophisticated and ambitious and Malaysia has its fair share of these including such iconic projects such as the Smart Tunnel, The Penang Second Bridge, The light Rail Transit Project and the Mass Transit Development currently ongoing. Increasingly these projects are bound by sophisticated project specifications which provide a basis to achieve significant design life well in access of 100 years.</p><p>The key elements for the life cycle provisions include appropriate design (e.g. concrete quality, cover, detailing etc) and the basic materials and concrete mix designs to withstand the external exposure conditions to achieve the minimum design life provisions. Besides the prescriptive requirement for minimum grade of concrete, maximum w/c ratio and the use of a triple blend concrete, there are also often provisions for performance targets associated with the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT) and Initial Surface Absorption Test (ISAT).</p><p>This paper explores what is appropriate in achieving design life provisions and why there is an urgent need to reconsider project specifications in the Malaysian context so that design provisions are fit for purpose.</p>

Texte intégralRésumé :
There is widespread agreement about the importance of accounting for the extent to which educational systems advance student learning. Yet, the forms and formats of accountable assessments often ill serve students and teachers; the summative judgements of student performance that are typically employed to indicate proficiencies on benchmarks of student learning commonly fail to capture student performance in ways that are specific and actionable for teachers. Timing is another key barrier to the utility of summative assessment. In the US, summative evaluations occur at the end of the school year and may serve future students, but do not help teachers better support the students who were tested. In contrast, formative assessments provide actionable grounds to improve the quality of instruction on the basis of both the granularity and specificity of their content and their timing. Unfortunately, the psychometric qualities of formative assessments are often unknown. I describe an innovative approach to assessment that aims to blend the productive characteristics of both summative and formative assessment. The resulting assessment system is accountable to students and teachers by providing actionable information for improving classroom instruction, and at the same time, it addresses the demands of psychometric quality for purposes of system accountability as it is currently practiced (in the US). The innovative assessment system relies on partnership with teachers to generate (1) a shared conceptual frame for describing instructional goals and valued forms of teaching and learning; (2) a set of electronic tools to help teachers detect, share, analyse, and interpret student learning data; and (3) classroom and school-level community professional development structures to support and sustain a widespread practice of assessing to guide instruction. These features are coupled with new psychometric models, developed by the Berkeley Evaluation and Research Center, that provide more robust estimates of student learning by linking information from multiple sources, including student classroom work, student responses to formative assessments, and summative evaluations. (Mark Wilson will address the psychometric modeling during this conference.) Here I describe challenges and prospects for this innovation with a case study of its implementation in a K–5 elementary school that is seeking to improve the quality of instruction and students’ understandings of measure and rational number arithmetic.

Dans ASME 2006 Power Conference. ASMEDC, 2006. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/power2006-88065.
Texte intégralRésumé :
We predict the combustion behavior and pollutant emissions of blends of a Colombian bituminous coal, Drummond, and an Indonesian sub-bituminous coal, Adaro, in pulverized-coal utility boilers. This work is based on full-scale numerical simulations with GLACIER, a powerful computational-fluid-dynamic (CFD) code that uses the two-mixture fraction approach which models two separate coal streams in the combustion chamber. By burning the coals and their blends in a pilot-scale test furnace, previously unknown information on the coal combustion, such as devolatilization and char oxidation kinetic parameters, was determined and the CFD model validated for the test furnace. The same set of parameters was used for the CFD model configured for an opposed-wall and a tangential fired utility boiler. Our results show good fits between numerical results and experimental data for gas temperature, CO2, O2, and NOx, both in the test furnace and in the utility boilers, for single coals and their blends. We believe that the tool we developed can help utility companies make rational decisions on the use of new coals or coal blends so as to lower pollutant emissions while maintaining the same combustion efficiency.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) that blends the theory of fracture mechanics and the probability theory provides a more rational means to describe the actual behavior and reliability of structures. However in PFM, the fracture parameters and their derivatives are often required to predict the probability of fracture initiation and/or instability in cracked structures. The calculation of the derivatives of fracture parameters with respect to load and material parameters, which constitutes size-sensitivity analysis, is not unduly difficult. However, the evaluation of response derivatives with respect to crack size is a challenging task, since it requires shape sensitivity analysis. Using a brute-force type finite-difference method to calculate the shape sensitivities is often computationally expensive, in that numerous repetitions of deterministic finite element analysis may be required for a complete reliability analysis. Therefore, an essential need of probabilistic fracture-mechanics is to evaluate the sensitivity of fracture parameters accurately and efficiently.

Texte intégralRésumé :
There are a few critical issues is developing a stable, controlled, and effective quality improvement effort. Here we present these in a linear sequence, following the order of implementation. There are three cognitive areas and four practice areas. The former are: (1) the operational definition of quality is predictive of efforts, measures, success, and competitive blind spots. We present categories of definitions, and show how critical it is to get beyond the packaged mottos that come with training programs. (2) A total quality culture has distinctive attributes that are generally not found in traditional companies. Nine key differentiators are presented and discussed. After the culture gap is described, we offer an expedited approach to addressing the need for culture change. (3) Information can be processed using a variety of logics. Deming has long preached the need for greater statistical thinking. We present the three basic thinking approaches that management uses: rational, scientific, and pattern recognition, and explain the benefits, rewards, and costs of each.

Kelly, Luke. Definitions, Characteristics and Monitoring of Conflict Economies. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), février 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.024.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The idea of conflict economies is a broad concept encompassing several research angles. Definitions differ according to these focuses. Some of the main uses of the concept are to understand: • economic analysis of the motives for and likelihood of war • financing of state and non-state belligerents • how the continuation of conflicts can be explained by rational motives including economic ones • how conflict affects economic activity, and how conflict parties and citizens adapt Some distinctive characteristics of war economies are (Ballentine & Nitzschke, 2005, p. 12): • They involve the destruction or circumvention of the formal economy and the growth of informal and black markets, • Pillage, predation, extortion, and deliberate violence against civilians is used by combatants to acquire control over lucrative assets, capture trade networks and diaspora remittances, and exploit labour; • War economies are highly decentralised and privatised, both in the means of coercion and in the means of production and exchange; • Combatants increasingly rely on the licit or illicit exploitation of / trade in lucrative natural resources • They thrive on cross-border trading networks, regional kin and ethnic groups, arms traffickers, and mercenaries, as well as legally operating commercial entities, each of which may have a vested interest in the continuation of conflict and instability. The first section of this rapid review outlines the evolution of the term and key definitions. Most of this discussion occurs in the academic literature around the early 2000s. The second looks at key characteristics of conflict economies identified in the literature, with examples where possible from both academic and grey literature. The third section briefly identifies methodologies used to measure and monitor conflict economies, as well as some current research and programmes on conflict economies, from academic literature as well as NGOs and other sources. The findings have been derived via a literature search and advice from experts in the field. Given time constraints, the report is not comprehensive. The review is gender- and disability blind.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Moths constitute a major group of pest insects in agriculture. Pheromone blends are utilised by a variety of moth species to attract conspecific mates, which is under circadian control by the neurohormone, PBAN (pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide). Our working hypothesis was that, since the emission of sex-pheromone is necessary to attract a mate, then failure to produce and emit pheromone is a potential strategy for manipulating adult moth behavior. The project aimed at identifying, characterising and determining the sequence of specific receptors responsible for the interaction with pheromonotropic neuropeptide/s using two related moth species: Helicoverpa armigera and H. lea as model insects. We established specific binding to a membrane protein estimated at 50 kDa in mature adult females using a photoaffinity-biotin probe for PBAN. We showed that JH is required for the up-regulation of this putative receptor protein. In vitro studies established that the binding initiates a cascade of second messengers including channel opening for calcium ions and intracellular cAMP production. Pharmacological studies (using sodium fluoride) established that the receptor is coupled to a G-protein, that is, the pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide receptor (PBAN-R) belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)'s. We showed that PBAN-like peptides are present in Drosophila melanogaster based on bioassay and immunocytochemical data. Using the annotated genome of D. melanogaster to search for a GPCR, we found that some were similar to neuromedin U- receptors of vertebrates, which contain a similar C-terminal ending as PBAN. We established that neuromedin U does indeed induce pheromone biosynthesis and cAMP production. Using a PCR based cloning strategy and mRNA isolated from pheromone glands of H. zea, we successfully identified a gene encoding a GPCR from pheromone glands. The full-length PBAN-R was subsequently cloned and expressed in Sf9 insect cells and was shown to mobilize calcium in response to PBAN in a dose-dependent manner. The successful progress in the identification of a gene, encoding a GPCR for the neurohormone, PBAN, provides a basis for the design of a novel battery of compounds that will specifically antagonize pheromone production. Furthermore, since PBAN belongs to a family of insect neuropeptides with more than one function in different life stages, this rationale may be extended to other physiological key-regulatory processes in different insects.
