The objective of this article is to perform a numerical modeling on the flow dynamics around a competitive female swimmer during the underwater swimming phase for a velocity of 2.2 m/s corresponding to national swimming levels. Flow around the swimmer is assumed turbulent and simulated with a computational fluid dynamics method based on a volume control approach. The 3D numerical simulations have been carried out with the code ANSYS FLUENT and are presented using the standard k-ω turbulence model for a Reynolds number of 6.4 × 106. To validate the streamline patterns produced by the simulation, experiments were performed in the swimming pools of the National Institute of Sports and Physical Education in Paris (INSEP) by using the tufts method.

A study was carried out using four measures of effectiveness to compare product warnings that are consistent with the American National Standards Institute Product Safety Signs and Labels standard (ANSI Z535.4) to warnings that are not consistent with the standard. Inconsistent warnings were based on the format of existing product warnings. Two warnings, consistent and inconsistent, for each of ten different products were evaluated: cooking oil, trampoline, paint, dresser, airbag, seat belt, tire, sports utility vehicle, reclining seat and swimming pool. The four effectiveness criteria were judgments of noticeability, likelihood to read, understandability and likelihood of complying. Participants were 176 students with varied majors from five different universities. Results indicated higher levels of judged effectiveness for the warnings that were consistent with the ANSI standard. The differences were statistically significant for all four effectiveness measures for all ten products. While warnings that are consistent with the ANSI Z535.4 standard do not by themselves necessarily constitute an adequate warning system, these results indicate that the standard does have merit and utility and represents a good starting point in warning design.

Substantial and sustainable increases in productivity of all crops are needed to meet the predicted demand for food, feed, fibres, flowers, fuels, fun, feed-stocks and pharmaceuticals of this 21st century bio-based economy. Plant breeding is vital for protecting the yield gains made to date, and for further increasing the genetic yield potential of all crops. As a result of the Green Revolution, global productivity of the main food staples steadily rose since the 1960s. Such achievements ensued from crop genetic enhancement partnerships. They are models for illustrating partnering for exchange, evaluation, release and use of plant genetic resources worldwide. These partnerships include national agricultural research institutes and international agricultural research centres. For many decades the global wheat yield increased due to an effective International Wheat Improvement Network (IWIN), which deployed cutting-edge science alongside practical multi-disciplinary applications, resulting in the development of bred-germplasm that has improved food security and the livelihoods of farmers in the developing world. IWIN operates field evaluation trials in more than 250 locations of 100 countries for testing breeding wheat lines across many environments. The International Network for Genetic Evaluation of Rice (INGER) has become an integral component of rice breeding programmes: every year partners provide about 1000 genetically diverse breeding lines, which have been grown in about 600 experiment stations from 80 countries. The Latin American Maize Programme (LAMP) has assessed national germplasm, facilitated the exchange of genetic resources across the continent, and its core subset has been made available to encourage further use in broadening maize genetic resources. For example, the Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM) project has used LAMP-selected landraces in crosses with elite temperate maize lines provided by North American private companies, to introgress useful genetic diversity into US maize germplasm, with the aim to broaden the genetic base of “corn-belt” hybrids.

ObjectivesThe epidemiology of fatal drowning is increasingly understood. By contrast, there is relatively little population-level research on non-fatal drowning. This study compares data on fatal and non-fatal drowning in Australia, identifying differences in outcomes to guide identification of the best practice in minimising the lethality of exposure to drowning.DesignA subset of data on fatal unintentional drowning from the Royal Life Saving National Fatal Drowning Database was compared on a like-for-like basis to data on hospital separations sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s National Hospital Morbidity Database for the 13-year period 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2015. A restrictive definition was applied to the fatal drowning data to estimate the effect of the more narrow inclusion criteria for the non-fatal data (International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes W65-74 and first reported cause only). Incidence and ratios of fatal to non-fatal drowning with univariate and Χ2 analysis are reported and used to calculate case-fatality rates.SettingAustralia, 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2015.ParticipantsUnintentional fatal drowning cases and cases of non-fatal drowning resulting in hospital separation.Results2272 fatalities and 6158 hospital separations occurred during the study period, a ratio of 1:2.71. Children 0–4 years (1:7.63) and swimming pools (1:4.35) recorded high fatal to non-fatal ratios, whereas drownings among people aged 65–74 years (1:0.92), 75+ years (1:0.87) and incidents in natural waterways (1:0.94) were more likely to be fatal.ConclusionsThis study highlights the extent of the drowning burden when non-fatal incidents are considered, although coding limitations remain. Documenting the full burden of drowning is vital to ensuring that the issue is fully understood and its prevention adequately resourced. Further research examining the severity of non-fatal drowning cases requiring hospitalisation and tracking outcomes of those discharged will provide a more complete picture.

This article is about the importance of sanitary and hygienic examination of water complexes, in particular, swimming pools and water parks. There is an increasing demand for visiting such water complexes in Ukraine, both for sports activities and for leisure activities. The focus of this article is on the sanitary and hygienic examination and survey of pool water, which is treated with sodium hypochlorite (obtained by chemical way). Material and methods. The studies were carried out for 10 weeks, including a series of water samples, which were taken during the quarantine period, when swimmers were prohibited from visiting the pool. This situation made possible to make a comparative hygienic assessment of the effect of workload on the water condition in the pool and the effectiveness of disinfection. There was also a short review and characteristics of hypochlorite A, which was obtained in chemical way, its advantages and disadvantages as a disinfectant. The article analyzes the data obtained during the sanitary and hygienic survey of the pool of the swimming pool of the national technical university, their statistical processing, and comparison with the current regulatory documents of Ukraine and some other states. The data obtained in the course of a series of studies indicated a significant human influence on the state of water in the pool, which once again indicates the importance of health education of the population and visitors in swimming pools and water parks, in particular, the need to take a shower before swimming, after using the toilet, etc.; the need for training the right culture of visiting different water objects. Particular attention should be paid to swimming pools frequented by children, as they often do not have sufficient hygiene skills, or due to age cannot constantly monitor urination, so, as a rule, it`s an acute issue of large amounts of chloramines in swimming pools for children. Conclusion. In particular, a statistically significant difference was obtained in terms of ammonia and ammonium ions (in total), which indicated a significant influence of visitors on this parameter. And, as you know, organic impurities (sweat, urine, cosmetics remains etc.) that get into the water together with the swimmers, react with chlorine and form chloramines, which can negatively affect the health of both the visitors and the staff. This must be taken into account while changing the workload on the pool and choosing the dose of disinfectant

Cryptosporidium is the leading cause of swimming pool outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Transmission occurs through the ingestion of oocysts that are passed in the faeces of an infected person or animal when an accidental faecal release event occurs. Cryptosporidium parasites present specific challenges for infection control as oocysts are highly resistant to chlorine levels used for pool disinfection, infected individuals can shed large numbers of oocysts, there is a long incubation period and shedding of oocysts occurs even after symptom resolution. The purposes of this review are to identify key barriers to limiting swimming pool-associated outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis and to outline needs for research and collaboration to advance co-ordinated management practices. We reviewed swimming pool-associated cryptosporidiosis outbreaks, disinfection teachniques, current regulations and the role of staff and patrons. Key barriers to limiting swimming pool-associated outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis are a lack of uniform national and international standards, poor adherence and understanding of regulations governing staff and patron behaviour, and low levels of public knowledge and awareness.

Human development and national competitivenes is one of the flagship programs from The Indonesian Government. Bali as one of the best tourist destination in the world is required to have an international standard tourism infrastructure. A swimming pool in a tourism accomodation is a standard facility in a tourist infrastructure. There are several types of swimming pools i.e. public swimming pools and private pools. During its development and demand, private pools develop into swimming pools with additional facilities such as warm water, which is often called a jacuzzi. Another additional facility is added pressure to the water in completing massage, fragrance and foam. The swimming pool is one of facilitity designed to hold water to allow swimming or other recreational activities. Pools can be built in the ground or on the ground as a free construction or as a part of structure and also with a common feature or a free style design. In-ground pools are the most common pools made and constructed from materials such as concrete, natural stone, metal, plastic, or fiberglass. To support comfort and satisfaction when using the swimming pool, the adequate water level in the swimming pool will be maintained by system with several supporting devices such as pumps, dirt filters and maintained at a certain level. Other things that support water quality include temperature, water turbidity, color, odor, pH, chlorine content etc.

The capacity of laboratory tests to predict competition performance has been broadly researched across several endurance sports. The aim of the present study was to analyse how pool swimming performance can predict the result of the swimming segment in triathlon competitions and compare predictability differences based on competition level and distance. Eighteen male triathletes participated in the study. Three were ranked world-class, ten elite/international level, and five highly trained/national level. A total of sixty-one graded multi-stage swimming tests were conducted. Blood lactate was measured to calculate the following hypothetical predictor variables: speed at lactate threshold 1 (LT1), speed at lactate threshold 2 (LT2), and speed in the last repetition of the test (SL200). The following data were collected for a total of 75 races: time in the swimming leg (TSL); position after the swimming leg (PSL); time difference with the first triathlete after the swimming leg (DFT); and final race position. The race levels were divided according to participant levels as follows: world series (WS) (n = 22); World Cup (WC) (n = 22); Continental Cup (CC) (n = 19); national championship (N) (n = 5); and local race (L) (n = 5). Based on distance, they were divided into Olympic distance (OD) (n = 37) and sprint distance (SD) (n = 38). A moderate to strong positive association was found between LT1, LT2, SL200 and PSL and TSl at all race levels except for the SD CC, SD WC, and OD CC races, where no or weak-to-moderate correlations were found. The present study demonstrated that performance measured in a graded multi-stage pool lactate test can predict performance in a triathlon swimming segment. This finding is highly useful for coaches as it can help them to obtain a reliable measure of the triathlete’s specific capabilities in the swimming leg.

A high concentration of Cuban treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) tadpoles displaying morphological abnormalities was discovered in an untreated swimming pool in Bonita Springs, Florida. This find initiated a 4-year survey (2012-2015) of surrounding roadside drainage ditches that had been treated with insecticide for mosquito control. The study was extended to the populations of Ave Maria, Florida, and Everglades National Park. The core data set of 36,550 tadpoles from the swimming pool and ditches contained 25,136 abnormal tadpoles, an abnormality average of 68.8 %, well above the 5 % minimum definition for a hotspot. The frogs from Ave Maria and the Everglades National park were 0 % abnormal. The type of tadpole abnormality differed between the suburban treated roadside drainage ditches versus the untreated swimming pool, although the same abnormalities were found in both the suburban treated and untreated water. In the untreated swimming pool, 70.1 % of tadpoles displayed abnormalities such as bent tails, abnormal limbs, and disfigured or absent mouthparts. Larvae in the untreated swimming pool metamorphosed en masse despite abnormalities. The high frequency of abnormal metamorph abnormalities found were: kyphosis, scoliosis, microcephaly, and forelimb abnormalities. In the treated roadside drainage ditches, Gosner stage 16-25 tadpoles could not undergo metamorphosis and experienced mass mortality. The abnormalities found at Gosner stage 16 of the embryo were in the head and body. Tadpoles at Gosner stages 19-25 failed to develop gills, were bloated, had growth retardation, and mouthpart abnormalities. The older Gosner stage 25-41 tadpole populations in the ditches showed bloating, lumps, emaciation, and growth retardation. A brief synopsis of O. septentrionalis treefrog biology is also given, including breeding congregations, average 8 hour time to hatching, and 19 days metamorphosis.

Swimming pools in guest houses and hotels in many cities in sub-Saharan Africa have been labelled ‘beautiful irritation’ or hazard zones for public health issues due to the unwholesomeness of water. Pollution in swimming pools is therefore, not uncommon and it is a serious public health issue both at the global, regional, national and local levels. This study focused on application of water quality index in assessment of swimming pools water quality in hotels in emerging Africa littoral metropolis of Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. It used stratified random sampling technique to select five hotels with swimming pool in Warri for assessment. Temperature, pH, turbidity, free (residual) chlorine, total heterotrophic bacteria, total heterotrophic fungi, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus tested in the laboratory using scientific method of sampling. Water quality index (WQI) was computed using Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WAWQI) to evaluate in general, the quality of water in each of the five sampled swimming pools. A five-point scale (excellent, good, poor, very poor and unsuitable) was used to rank each swimming pool quality. Result showed that Wellington Hotel had the value of 2.52 and considered excellent in terms of water quality index value. Also, Brook View and Best Western Plus Hotels were classified as good water based on water quality index values of 36.9 and 39.9 respectively while BB swimming pool was ranked poor due to water quality index of 51.4. In contrast, Oasis Place Hotel swimming pool was declared unsuitable for recreational purpose due to a water quality index of 102.1. The study recommended routine and periodic surveillance of swimming pools and other recreational water sources to guarantee optimum health and wellbeing of users.

This study was to explore the current condition, interactive situation, and the marketing management of the public-private partnership for swimming pool administration of the two national universities by the methods of document analysis and in-depth interview. This study had found that:1.Current Operation:(1) A swimming pool of national university should choose different outsourcing model according to its own condition, not limited to the model of public OT;(2) New or improved facilities can help the promotion; (3) The National University school’s swimming pool has a huge consumer population, so its market condition is better than the swimming pools in common schools below high school level; (4) The contract content needs enough incentives to attract bidders; (5) The administrative coordination is related to the interaction with the firms; (6) The attention and policy promotions of the Government can help to improve the swimming pools’ business atmosphere. 2.Public-private Partnership Interactive Situation: (1) In the dimension of hierarchy, the interaction between the national universities and firms mostly appeared the models of Horizontal Complement and Horizontal Integration, but the charging method was involved with the original rights and interests of the school’s teachers and students, the school would more strongly adopt the interactive mode of Vertical Separation; (2) In the dimension of dominance degree of policy, according to different matters, it appeared public-private partnership, incentive induction, statutory regulation, and laissez faire. 3.Marketing Management: in the SWOT analysis, the subjects could learn the advantages and disadvantages of their own conditions, plan for their applicable way of doing business, and really understand the properties and features of the customers in the region to grasp the target market. Finally, through the ways of "4P" in marketing including product, price, place, and promotion, the subjects could develop marketing strategies and keep monitoring and improvement.

This study was aimed to assess the financial feasibility of National Taiwan University (NTU) Outdoor Swimming Pool Renovation and Building Alteration Project to give some practical suggestions to the management. This study applied capital budgeting techniques, and descriptive statistical analysis including frequency distribution, and percentage to assess the financial feasibility of NTU outdoor swimming pool project using data from National Taiwan University Enforcement Rules for Sports Fields Management and Outdoor Swimming Pool Renovation and Building Alteration Project planning, and financial analysis report. The findings showed that: 1. After considering financial indicators, namely net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), self-liquidation ratio (SLR), debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR), and timed interest earned (TIE), the NTU outdoor swimming pool project is financially feasible. 2. The results from the sensitivity analysis showed that the NPV has a significant positive relationship with operating revenue, and significant negative relationships with construction cost, operating expense, and interest rate. These findings can be used as a reference for assessing the financial feasibility and developing operational strategies for not only NTU’s sport facility proposals, but also similar proposals from other domestic universities. Future research is recommended to estimate the intangible benefits of NTU’s outdoor swimming pool project to provide people and the government with a reference for understanding the overall benefits of this project.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of outsourcing the swimming pool of National Pingtung Industrial Vocational High School. The Questionnaires were administered to the teaching and administrative staff of the School as well as the community residents. The information obtained from the research is analyzed through descriptive statistics, frequency allocation, percentage, cumulative percentage and cross-analysis. The results are as follows: 1. OT might be the most feasible mode for outsourcing the swimming pools of the domestic Senior High/Vocational Schools, and then followed by ROT and BOT. 2. With regard to different opinions of outsourcing the swimming pool of the School, the number of supporters accounts for 91.6%; most people prefer using it at non-working time and 14:01 ~ 18:00 is the highest period of time for its usage; SPA pool is in high demand for most of the time and the condition of the equipment is the key factor that determines whether the consumer will use it or not. The swimming pool is mainly used for leisure and the majority of people agree that the fees shall be paid by user under the condition that a favorable price is given. It is preferred that payment may be settled through multiple paying methods. 3. There are no great differences between the variables of different backgrounds and whether they support outsourcing of the swimming pool or not; Regarding the period of time for using the swimming pool, different age, marital status, education level, occupation (volume A) and the average monthly income have reached a significant level; as for the concept for payment, different sex, age, occupation (volume A) and the average monthly income have reached a significant level. With respect to fees to be paid by the student members and the community resident members, different age, marital status, education level, occupation (volume A) and the average monthly income have reached a significant level. Regarding the fees to be paid by the teaching and administrative staff members, different education level, occupation (volume A) and the average monthly income have reached a significant level. 4. The teaching and administrative staff of the School and the community residents show their greatly support on the idea of outsourcing the swimming pool, and further express their willingness to use it with the concept of “paid-by-user” borne in mind. In conclusion, outsourcing of the swimming pool is of great feasibility. Keywords: National Pingtung Industrial Vocational High School , Outsourcing, BOT , OT , ROT

Computer technology in this new century is advancing at great speed and has entered an age of marketing and digitalization. The use of advanced technology in digitized management information system (MIS) helps improve the overall productivity and efficiency of a company and has become a social indicator of modernization, driving businesses and industries to develop related software. Conventional management and usage of swimming pools no longer can meet today’s demands, and computerized management has become an inevitable trend for schools to upgrade their quality service. In view of this new trend, we developed a “Membership Service MIS for the National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) Swimming Pool” that uses a standard operation procedure derived by the computer to give the pool a highly efficient, reasonable, modernized, high technical, and systematic service. This system will be greatly beneficial to the overall management of the university pool and will also enhance service quality to meet the needs of consumers. This study used literature reviews and interviews as the basis for developing the membership service MIS. This management system integrates database and the Internet, and uses PHP and HTML along with MySQL to design a front end for consumer search and a back end for membership management. The system allows for comprehensive, uniform, and safe management, reduces human errors, improves service quality, and reduces the workload of the management staff. Users and management staff can easily access the system online, which enables search and information access, as well as immediate update of membership information and membership statistics. This will reduce maintenance and duplicate data as well as reduce human resources and operation procedures. With the system in place, management will have an up-to-date and complete database of member information to help develop mid- and long-term plans, improve work efficiency, and provide better and more convenient services to the public. In turns, this will help increase the competitiveness of NTNU’s pool service.

Gould, Shane Elizabeth. "Swimming in Australia: A Cultural Study". Thesis, 2019. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/40556/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
To all appearances swimming in Australia is a popular and serious activity. In fact, one organisation goes so far to claim that ‘Australia swims, it is who we are. Swimming is in our cultural DNA’. Governments and other Australian agencies provide generous funding for public pools, water safety, and swimming education, as well as high performance sport. Swimming and water safety organizations make up a vibrant commercial service industry. Swimming has become central to Australian national identity, reaching an apotheosis every four years at the Olympic Games. Despite this level of financial investment and apparent cultural value, less than half of all Australian children can swim 50 metres by the time they leave primary school and an average of 282 people drown each year.
This interpretive cultural study uses a variety of qualitative methods to interrogate swimming as a prominent movement culture. It explores aspects of swimming culture in Australia such as beach swimming, pool and river play, lessons, and racing, and asks whether swimming is an Australian ‘thing’ or is the narrative hyperbolic? As an Australian champion swimmer I realise I have contributed to this narrative, which adds a unique dimension to this study, but is only part of the story. Positioning myself as subject, insider, questioner, and commentator, I examine slogans used to sustain national identity narratives, and peruse roles of industry organizations, asking “who says what about swimming, and why?” I undertook 12 weeks of field research driving across Australia, stopping in country towns and regional cities, asking “where do you like to swim? And, what do you do when you go swimming?” When I saw ‘swimmers’ standing in water at the beach, I asked myself, “how do people define “swim” when they go swimming?” For those people who say they swim, what does ‘swim’ mean to them? I also immersed myself with adult ocean swimmers, who create a sense of place through their aquatic wanderings in the ocean in Tasmania. To analyse this fieldwork data, I utilised insights from educational, social, and environmental geography perspectives, and paid particular attention to the values of movement in nature, which is the essence of swimming in water.
This thesis reveals the complex meanings that constitute the culture of swimming in Australia. There is a tension between the reality of Australians in the water and the hyperbolic feel-good narratives, such as ‘a nation of swimmers’ and there are differences in cultural-linguistic meanings, and organisations who blur private and public service, as they vie for public funds and compete for the same customers. Revealing these polysemic meanings and tensions contributes to broader academic debates about the culture(s) of sport and physical activity, and the place and meaning of swimming in Australian national identity. Findings from this cultural study are also potentially significant to swimming and water safety education. For example, findings from this study suggest that swimming education could be more effective if the significance of humans’ reciprocal and interactive relationship with water, which differs perceptually and somatically to experiences on land, was embedded into swimming instruction models.

The method applied randomly sampled 350 members of National Taiwan Sport University swimming pool in the 103 academic year as the study population, conducting “service quality survey,” customer trust survey” and “customer loyalty survey” as the research tool. 237 surveys were collected through a Questionnaire Survey, the data of which will be conducted by Descriptive Analysis and Person’s Product Moment of Coefficient Correlation Analysis. The result of the research indicates: (1) There is a positive correlation between the service quality of National Taiwan Sport University and the customer loyalty. (2) There is a positive correlation between service quality and customer trust. (3) There is a positive correlation between customer trust and customer loyalty. By adopting Multiple Stepwise Regression Analysis on dimensions of service quality, customer trust and customer loyalty, it was discovered that all the elements reach a significance: the extent of customer loyalty can be predicted by service quality and customer trust. In conclusion, the higher the service quality is, the higher the customer trust and customer loyalty are; the lower the service quality is, the lower the customer loyalty and customer trust are; the higher the customer trust is, the higher the customer loyalty is. Moreover, it was discovered that dimensions of service quality can be leveled into (1) reliability (2) assurance (3) empathy and (4) tangibility. Dimensions of customer trust can be leveled into (1) problem solving ability (2) good intentions (3) professional ability. Dimensions of customer loyalty can be leveled into (1) loyal attitude and (2) loyal act. The study is anticipated to offer guidance and to be successfully applied for operation by university and swimming pool managers. keywords: service quality, customer trust, customer loyalty

Although the reconciliation of Jewish and Polish memories of the Holocaust is the central issue in contemporary Polish–Jewish relations, this is the first attempt to examine these divisive memories in a comprehensive way. Until 1989, Polish consciousness of the Second World War subsumed the destruction of Polish Jewry within a communist narrative of Polish martyrdom and heroism. Post-war Jewish memory, by contrast, has been concerned mostly with Jewish martyrdom and heroism. Since the 1980s, however, a significant number of Jews and Poles have sought to identify a common ground and have met with partial but increasing success, notwithstanding the new debates that have emerged in recent years concerning Polish behaviour during the Nazi genocide of the Jews that Poles had ignored for half a century. This volume considers these contentious issues from different angles. Among the topics covered are Jewish memorial projects, both in Poland and beyond its borders, the Polish approach to Holocaust memory under communist rule, and post-communist efforts both to retrieve the Jewish dimension to Polish wartime memory and to reckon with the dark side of the Polish national past. An interview with Henryk Grynberg touches on many of these issues, as do the three poems by Grynberg reproduced here. The 'New Views' section features innovative research in other areas of Polish–Jewish studies. A special section is devoted to research concerning the New Synagogue in Poznan, built in 1907, which is still standing only because the Nazis turned it into a swimming pool.

Before the sovereignty of the financial sector, the steel company ARBED (founded 1911) was considered the genuine backbone of the Luxembourg economy and was perceived as a company of “national identity.” This chapter argues that ARBED’s corporate image was strongly shaped through the 1921 corporate film Columeta. Carefully designed for a modular use to be presented to different audiences, the film compiled the right motifs at the right time in order to communicate the company’s claim of national and societal importance, making Columeta a stepping stone for integrating industrial motifs into the national iconography. The chapter will outline the circulation and interaction of corporate, national and social motifs in different media, and their subsequent inclusion into the national Luxembourgian self-presentation.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The architect Álvaro Siza Vieira (1933–) was born in Porto, Portugal. He graduated from the University of Porto (now known as the Faculdade de Arquitectura, Universidade do Porto – FAUP) in 1955. While still a student in 1954 he built four houses in his home town, Matosinhos, where he opened his own private practice. Between 1955 and 1958 he collaborated with his former teacher, Fernando Távora (1923–2005). During the 1960s he designed and built a swimming pool project (Leça da Palmeira, Porto) that caught the attention of the public. He was invited to lecture at the university from 1966–69. In 1976 he returned to teaching and shortly afterwards, in 1979, the university was renamed the FAUP, following the establishment of democratic government after the end of dictatorship (1926–74) under Oliveira Salazar (1889–1970). The FAUP sought to instigate the principles of Modernism based on the architect’s individual character, i.e. not according to the prevailing Soft Portuguese style. Three individuals became identified with the new FAUP, known as the Porto School of Architecture: Távora, Siza Vieira, and one of his students, Eduardo Souto Moura (1952–; winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2011). In the new era of democracy that flourished in Portugal, in 1977 he planned 1,200 low-cost housing units in Évora, for the national housing association, the Serviço Ambulatório de Apoio Local.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission collects data on entrapments from suction in suction outlets in swimming pools and Spas. There are currently two national specifications for the testing and marking of manufactured safety vacuum release systems for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs: ASTM designation F2387-04 Standard Specification for Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) for Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs, and ASME A112.19.17-2002 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) for Residential and Commercial Swimming Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, and Wading Pool Suction Systems. Over the last two years an electronically controlled system, containing several safety functions, in addition to those specified in the standards, has been developed, tested by an outside laboratory and certified to meet both the applicable standards. This paper includes the results of the testing and changes to the system to meet both the specifications and internal worse case failure analysis. This paper compares and contrasts the two applicable standards, as well as detailing the results of testing both in the laboratory and in the field.

The water and Na2SO4 water solution boiling investigation had been carried in pool on the surfaces with artificial and natural nucleons sites under different pressures using high speed digital camera. The boiling of water was investigated at atmosphere pressure on a surface with a artificial nucleons site, which had a micro scale (cavity’s diameters – 100 and 200 μm and depth – 80 μm), in the Fridrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nu¨rnberg, Germany in the Institute of Fluid Mechanics. The boiling of water and Na2SO4 water solution with concentration 20 g/l was investigated on a surface with natural nucleons sites in the pressure range 0.1 – 1 MPa in the Moscow Power-Engineering Institute (Technical University) on department of Thermal Physics. The “hand” video processing was used for the study’s results in case of the pool boiling on a surface with a artificial nucleon site. The data processing was realized for the study’s results using with a program “Bubble Detector”, which was specially developed for case of the pool boiling on a surface with the natural nucleon sites, and the “hand” processing was carried for video, which showed the reliability of the program “Bubble Detector”. First the distributions and dependences of basic boiling characteristics (frequency, departure diameter) were obtained at water pool boiling on a surface with a artificial cavity in the range of heat flux from 20 to 128 kW/m2 and the time dependence of vapor bubble’s grow. It was obtained, that departure diameters of vapor bubbles do not depend in case of boiling on a surface with a single cavity practically on heat flux. First the distributions and dependences of swimming velocities and equivalent diameters were obtained at water and Na2SO4 water solution with concentration 20 g/l pool boiling on a surface with natural nucleon sites in range of pressures from 0.1 to 1 MPa. The comparison of diameters’ and swimming velocities’ distributions of vapor bubbles was carried for under consideration conditions.

The current ASME/ANSI standard for pool/spa drain covers is relied upon as an effective guideline for drain system safety by pool industry practitioners, state building code commissions, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Spa and Pool Institute, and a myriad of pool safety sophisticates. In fact, it is a license to kill. To demonstrate its shortcomings in the dawn of its next revision, an ordinary steering wheel is shown to satisfy the current standard while exposing bathers to every known fatal drain cover scenario. The paper raises a new issue: ASME, ANSI and pool professionals may all be in legal jeopardy.

Abstract Melt pool size is a critical intermediate measure that reflects the outcome of a laser powder bed fusion process setting. Reliable melt pool predictions prior to builds can help users to evaluate potential part defects such as lack of fusion and over melting. This paper develops a layer-wise Neighboring-Effect Modeling (L-NBEM) method to predict melt pool size for 3D builds. The proposed method employs a feedforward neural network model with ten layer-wise and track-wise input variables. An experimental build using a spiral concentrating scan pattern with varying laser power was conducted on the Additive Manufacturing Metrology Testbed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Training and validation data were collected from 21 completed layers of the build, with 6,192,495 digital commands and 118,928 in-situ melt pool coaxial images. The L-NBEM model using the neural network approach demonstrates a better performance of average predictive error (12.12%) by leave-one-out cross-validation method, which is lower than the benchmark NBEM model (15.23%), and the traditional power-velocity model (19.41%).

Abstract One of the most prevalent additive manufacturing processes, the powder bed fusion process, is driven by a moving heat source that melts metals to build a part. This moving heat source, and the subsequent formation and moving of a melt pool, plays an important role in determining both the geometric and mechanical properties of the printed components. The ability to control the melt pool during the build process is a sought after mechanism for improving quality control and optimizing manufacturing parameters. For this reason, efficient models that can predict melt pool size based on the process input (i.e., laser power, scan speed, spot size and scan path) offer a path to improved process control. Towards improved process control, a data-driven melt pool prediction model is built with a neighborhood-based neural network and trained using experimental data from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The model considers the influence of both manufacturing parameters and laser scan paths. The scan path information is encoded using two novel neighborhood features of the neural network through locality. The neural network is used to generate a surrogate model, and we demonstrate how the performance of the resulting surrogate model can be further improved by using several ensemble methods. We then demonstrate how the trained surrogate model can be used as a forward solver for developing novel laser power design algorithms. The resulting laser power plan is designed to keep melt pool size as constant as possible for any given scan pattern. The algorithm is implemented and validated with numerical experiments.

Abstract The welding task focuses on development of advanced welding technologies for repair and maintenance of nuclear reactor structural components to safely and cost-effectively extend the service life of nuclear power reactors. This paper presents an integrated research and development effort by the Department of Energy Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program through the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to develop a patent-pending technology, Auxiliary Beam Stress Improved Laser Welding Technique, that proactively manages the stresses during laser repair welding of highly irradiated reactor internals without helium induced cracking (HeIC). Finite element numerical simulations and in-situ temperature and strain experimental validation have been utilized to identify candidate welding conditions to achieve significant stress compression near the weld pool during cooling. Preliminary welding experiments were performed on irradiated stainless-steel plates (Type 304L). Post-weld characterization reveals that no macroscopic HeIC was observed.

The motor development of Down's syndrome children is slow. The different components of the motor capacity are developed gradually using practice. The education is more difficult, the progress is observed very difficulty and the decreasing of the level at which the Down's syndrome children reached is very quick. The deficit of the balance is associated with the Down syndrome too. The balance influences positively both the manner in which the children step and the possibility of changing the different directions during the movement without the children being injured. All these are possible if the balance is developed early in their life. Our research wished to evaluate the balance development at the tree Down's syndrome children using the computer equipment - SMART Balance Master. This stressed the progress obtained from the initial testing to the final testing. At the same time, it showed us the analyzer / analyzers where the development appeared after we had applied the stimulation programs (swimimng lessons) during a year. The children learnd to swim the fundamental techinque skills, freestyle and breaststroke during the stimulation programs (swimming lessons). Finally, we concluded: the family and social environment where the children grew up influnced all the activities that they practiced during the swimming lessons; the balance evaluation could achieve using the computer equipment. Which offered objective data about the level of the balance development of the children; SMART Balance Master stressed the improvement of the balance and indicated the level where the improvement appeared (proprioceptor level and vestibular level). The research was a part of a post-PhD thesis which was achieved and published under the aegis of the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Bucharest, as a partner of the programme co-funded by the European Social Fund within the Operational Sectorial Programme for Human Resources Development 2007-2013 through the project Pluri- and interdisciplinary in doctoral and post-doctoral programmes Project Code: POSDRU/159/1.5/S/141086, its main beneficiary being the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy.

An overview will be given about investigations on heat and mass transfer in narrow channels and narrow cavities, from work carried out in the last years up to the current status of research of some relevant scientific groups in Europe. The major topics of this report are evaporation heat transfer and the flow boiling pressure drop in narrow channels; microscale heat and mass transfer phenomena in pool boiling from enhanced evaporator tubes with sub-surface channels are also addressed. In the last years a challenging topic has been the enhancement of the efficiency of heat exchangers by employing micro-structured heat transfer surfaces. The need for smaller heat exchangers with higher heat transfer rates and/or smaller thermal approaches is caused by the ongoing miniaturisation of mechanical and electronic components, leading to higher heat fluxes which can damage or even destroy the components. On the other hand, enhanced heat transfer in big equipment, e.g. heat exchangers for the petrochemical and chemical industries, can lead to significant materials and energy savings and thus reduce environmental pollution. Therefore the European Union, European industries and national organisations have supported various projects to develop and to investigate a new generation of heat transfer surfaces, to better understand the related heat transfer phenomena and to model the heat transfer from these micro heat exchanger elements. There is a very extensive research in this scientific field, comprising both flow boiling and pool boiling. The present paper deals with heat transfer in narrow channels and/or cavities and with the flow boiling pressure drop occurring during heat and mass transfer in narrow channels. Investigations of major European institutions, carried out in the past and at the moment will be presented as a contribution to the overview on the current state-of-the-art in Europe, without claim of completeness. Some recent results on microscale pool boiling and flow boiling obtained in our institute will also be presented (Shuai et al., 2002; Kulenovic et al., 2002; Chen et al., 2002a, b).

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was directed by the federal government to define cloud computing to assist federal agencies in implementing cloud architectures. In 2011, NIST published NIST SP 800-145 “The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing” and defined cloud computing as: “Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models. [1]” Cloud computing is a relatively new IT concept and as such, there is much to learn about the benefits that this business model can bring to organizations. Cloud computing will transform how you do business. The objective of this paper is to explain the benefits of using a cloud architecture for calibration management software systems. The following benefits and topics will be discussed: Work From Anywhere, Always On, Reduced IT Costs, Scalability, Automatic Updates, Reduce Coordination Costs, Improved Quality Control, Disaster Recovery, Environmental Sustainability, Increased Competitiveness, Stronger Security, and Compliance Considerations [2].
