A numerical method is utilized to investigate the converging angle effects on the flow structure and heat transfer of a pin fin wedge duct with dimples/protrusions. The studied converging angles are 0:0°; 6:3°; and 12:7° The results show that a pin fin-dimple wedge duct with larger converging angle produces higher heat transfer enhancement due to flow acceleration, increase of the impingement regi
Sociocultural valuation (SCV) of ecosystem services (ES) discloses the principles, importance or preferences expressed by people towards nature. Although ES research has increasingly addressed sociocultural values in past years, little effort has been made to systematically review the components of sociocultural valuation applications for different decision contexts (i.e. awareness raising, accoun
Open Innovation (OI) has gained significant attention since the term was introduced in 2003. However, little is known whether general software testing processes are well suited for OI. An exploratory case study on the Acceptance Test Harness (ATH) is conducted to investigate OI testing activities of Jenkins. As far as the research methodology is concerned, we extracted the change log data of ATH f
Climate change brings new burdens to people working outdoors. Migrantpopulations working at brick kilns in India are one such group facing dangerouslyoverheated working conditions. Many migrate to the kilns from rural areas underbonded labor conditions. We argue that solutions need to go beyond industry oriented technology-based solutions and focus on the social problem and take apeople focused st
This thesis investigates how regulatory instruments, and specifically requirements rules, targeting energy use in existing residential buildings could be made part of the forceful intervention that is required to reduce the use of energy in existing residential buildings. Two approaches to the design of requirement rules are analyzed: a detail-steering approach and a target-oriented approach. The
Soot particles can be formed in hydrocarbon flames as a result of an inefficient combustion process. The particles are near-spherical, and normally a few tens of nanometers in diameter. At later stages in the soot growth process, they form chain-like sparse aggregates. When applying optical diagnostic methods such as combined scattering and extinction measurements in sooting flames, this aggregati
This paper deals with the contemporary concern of business service-orientation. The paper suggests that service-oriented Business Information Systems Development (BISD) permits quality aspects, -“ilities” e.g.; maintainability and modifiability, of BISs and BISD. In addition, this paper departs from viewing a Business Information System (BIS) as services and suggests Separation of Concerns (SoC) a
