Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Some Young People

Some Young People

The Richardson boys ganged up with two other big families in their buildings and at various ages had tried out most of the local youth organisations. Bert Richardson with a suitable set of brothers and mates was in the Scouts but they got ejected. Later at thirteen he joined a boys’ club for its boxing and football and belonged on and off till he was sixteen. Then he suddenly dropped out. Why did Bert drop out? Originally published in 1954 the answer forms the substance of Some Young People the report of an inquiry into adolescents’ reactions to their local youth groups. Besides answering the question Who joins what? (and two thirds of these thousand youngsters of 14 to 17 were not members of any youth organisation) the book describes some of the hopes pleasures and difficulties of such people as Frances the chocolate packer who has ambition to marry before long; and John the carpenter’s apprentice whose passions are autocycling pigeons and pigs. It also throws light on problems such as those presented by gangs; and suggests the importance of my friends the closely-knit set who mean so much to the adolescent.

Vertebrate Cranial Placodes

Vertebrate Cranial Placodes

Most of the cranial sense organs of vertebrates arise from embryonic structures known as cranial placodes. Such placodes also give rise to sensory neurons that transmit information to the brain as well as to many neurosecretory cells. This book focuses on the development of sensory and neurosecretory cell types from cranial placodes by introducing the vertebrate head with its sense organs and neurosecretory organs and providing an overview of the various cranial placodes and their derivatives including evidence of common embryonic primordia. Schlosser discusses how these primordia are established in the early embryo and how individual placodes develop. The latter chapters explain how various placodally derived sensory and neurosecretory cell types differentiate into discrete structures. | Vertebrate Cranial Placodes

Disability and Qualitative Inquiry Methods for Rethinking an Ableist World

Disability and Qualitative Inquiry Methods for Rethinking an Ableist World

This groundbreaking text makes an intervention on behalf of disability studies into the broad field of qualitative inquiry. Ronald Berger and Laura Lorenz introduce readers to a range of issues involved in doing qualitative research on disabilities by bringing together a collection of scholarly work that supplements their own contributions and covers a variety of qualitative methods: participant observation interviewing and interview coding focus groups autoethnography life history narrative analysis content analysis and participatory visual methods. The chapters are framed in terms of the relevant methodological issues involved in the research bringing in substantive findings to illustrate the fruits of the methods. In doing so the book covers a range of physical sensory and cognitive impairments. This work resonates with themes in disability studies such as emancipatory research which views research as a collaborative effort with research subjects whose lives are enhanced by the process and results of the work. It is a methodological approach that requires researchers to be on guard against exploiting informants for the purpose of professional aggrandizement and to engage in a process of ongoing self-reflection to clear themselves of personal and professional biases that may interfere with their ability to hear and empathize with others. | Disability and Qualitative Inquiry Methods for Rethinking an Ableist World

Synthetic Biology Science Business and Policy

Synthetic Biology Science Business and Policy

For nearly forty years using recombinant DNA tools researchers and then businesses have genetically engineered organisms by transferring naturally occurring genes from one organism into another. Doing so modifies the genetic code of living cells imparting new traits and achieving desired results; this is done in the production of proteins pharmaceuticals and seeds. Synthetic biology argues Solomon could free scientists from the need to find natural genes to make such desired modifications. Synthetic biology permits more complex and sophisticated bioengineering than what can be achieved through previous genetic modification techniques. Drawing on non-biological scientific and engineering disciplines including information technology and nanotechnology synthetic biology strives to rearrange an organism's genes on a far wider scale by rewriting its genetic code the chemical instructions need to design assemble and operate a species. By allowing the writing of artificial genetic codes synthetic biology can transform existing industries and spawn new ones creating new products as well as radically reshaping existing items. Arguing for self-regulation by the scientific and business communities Lewis D. Solomon recommends a policy framework that would guard against governmental overregulation which could create a barrier to innovation. Although synthetic biotechnology holds considerable social and economic potential absent a nurturing regulatory climate it may prove difficult to translate research discoveries into commercially viable applications. | Synthetic Biology Science Business and Policy

Critical Animal Geographies Politics intersections and hierarchies in a multispecies world

Critical Animal Geographies Politics intersections and hierarchies in a multispecies world

Critical Animal Geographies provides new geographical perspectives on critical animal studies exploring the spatial political and ethical dimensions of animals’ lived experience and human-animal encounters. It works toward a more radical politics and theory directed at the shifting boundary between human and animal. Chapters draw together feminist political-economic post-humanist anarchist postcolonial and critical race literatures with original case studies in order to see how efforts by some humans to control and order life – human and not – violate constrain and impinge upon others. Central to all chapters is a commitment to grappling with the stakes – violence death life autonomy – of human-animal encounters. Equally the work in the collection addresses head-on the dominant forces shaping and dependent on these encounters: capitalism racism colonialism and so on. In doing so the book pushes readers to confront how human-animal relations are mixed up with overlapping axes of power and exploitation including gender race class and species. | Critical Animal Geographies Politics intersections and hierarchies in a multispecies world
