Modelling the Flow Through a Failed Blowout Preventer

Predicting the droplet sizes produced by a jet is important in fields ranging from the pharmaceutical industry to emergency planning in the event of a deep-sea well blowout. Current scaling models are usually based on experimental results obtained using a straight pipe entering a quiescent media. As the process of breakup is governed by the local turbulent fields, the history of the jet fluid upstream from the entry to the quiescent domain is important. Turbulence generated by the extreme shear gradients arising at obstruction within the pipe will be advected a significant distance downstream, including beyond the jet exit. This work shows that an orifice plate inserted into a pipe upstream of the exit alters the jet that emerges, even when the orifice plate is a several diameters upstream of the opening. The effect in general is to enhance the spreading of the jet sue to the influence of the turbulence kinetic energy generated at the orifice plate that has been transported into the exiting jet.
Transmittance Spectra of ZnS Thin Film at Varying Concentration of Zinc ion Precursor

Zinc sulphide (ZnS) thin films have been deposited by chemical bath method onto glass substrate at room temperature. The Transmittance spectra of the fabricated films were obtained with a Janway 6405 UV / Visible spectrophotometer in the wavelengthrange of 300nm – 1100nm. Structural and surface morphology of the films were carried out using an x-ray diffractometer with Cukα radiation and Olumpus Optical microscope. Transmittance spectra of ZnS thin film fabricated at varying concentration of zinc ion precursor show very low transmittance in the UV region, moderate transmittance in the VIS region and relatively high transmittance in the NIR (approximately 85%). There was no clear cut effect of varying concentration of zinc ion precursor on the transmittance of the deposited films in all region of the electromagnetic spectrum studied.
Economic Analysis of Chrysanthemum Flower in Punjab , Pakistan

The aesthetic value of flowers and ornamental plants, their use in social events, overall satisfaction in working with them and high income generating power are attracting modern entrepreneurs to invest money in the floriculture industry. The present study was aimed to estimate the production cost, net income and Benefit Cost Ratio of chrysanthemum flower. Purposive sampling technique was employed for the data collection. Data were collected from district Kasur, Lahore and Sheikhupura. A total of 50 respondents of chrysanthemum were interviewed. A Cobb-Douglas production function was employed to estimate the effect of different socioeconomic and agronomic factors on the production of chrysanthemum. The total average cost of production per acre of small, medium, large and all farmers was Rs. 133,272, Rs. 129,634, Rs. 140,982 and Rs. 133,567, respectively. The total revenue received from the sale of chrysanthemum per acre of the small, medium, large and all farmers was Rs. 300,960, Rs. 300,251, Rs. 307,684 and Rs. 299,967, respectively. The gross margin per acre was the greatest of the medium farmers (Rs. 186,378) followed by small (Rs. 183,448) and large farmers (Rs. 182,462) while that of all farmers was Rs. 182,160. The net income was also the highest of the medium farmers (Rs. 170,618). The result of the findings revealed that the sampled medium farmers earned the highest returns per acre (1:2.26) as compared to small (1:2.26) and large farmers (1:2.18). The BCR of all the sampled farmers was 1:2.25. The results of Cobb-Douglass production function revealed that the variable of education, flower growing experience, land preparation cost, FYM cost, fertilization cost has positive and significant while seedquantity, total labor man-days and irrigations applied has negative and significant impact on the yield of chrysanthemum. The educated and experienced people should be motivated to engage in floriculture business. The use of FYM should be increased and farmers be trained to prepare good quality land to fetch better and high-quality yield of chrysanthemum flowers.
Seismic Risk Assessment of Lisbon Metropolitan Area under a Recurrence of the 1755 Earthquake with Tsunami Inundation

The Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) has the largest population and property concentration in Portugal. Located near the Eurasia–Africa plate boundary and facing the Atlantic Ocean, the AML is prone to great offshore earthquakes that may trigger tsunami. In history, Lisbon was destroyed by earthquake and tsunami in 1531 and 1755, respectively. Given the growth and expansion of the exposure in last two centuries, a presumed recurrence of the 1755 earthquake would result in a totally different loss scenario in the AML, which is of interest to the disaster preparedness and emergency management. This paper studies the existing building stock in the AML, discusses the vulnerability of built environment to ground shake and tsunami, and conducts loss modelling for the AML subjected to simulated ground motion and tsunami wave of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Finally, the loss scenario will be discussed and inferred for disaster mitigation.
Effect of phosphate fertilization and base... EFFECT OF PHOSPHATE FERTILIZATION AND BASE SATURATION OF SUBSTRATE ON THE SEEDLINGS GROWTH AND QUALITY OF Plathymenia

http://dx.doi. org/10.1590/1806-90882017000100011 ABSTRACT – This study aimed to evaluate the growth and quality of seedlings of Plathymenia foliolosa Benth in response to base saturation of substrate and phosphate fertilization. The treatments were arranged in a factorial design of 6 P levels (0, 120, 240, 360, 480 and 600 mg dm) by 5 base saturation levels (3.5, 25, 40, 55, 70 %), in randomized blocks with four replications. The height of aerial part, neck diameter, shoot dry matter, root dry matter and total dry matter were determined at 118 days after the transplanting. It was still calculated the relation shoot dry matter/root dry matter and the Dickson Quality Index. There were significant effects of the phosphate fertilization for all studied variables. The base saturation had influence on all studied variables, except for the shoot dry matter/root dry matter relation. No significant effect of the interaction between base saturation of substrate and phosphate fertilization was observed on seedlings growth and quality. For the studied conditions, it is recommended 300 mg dm of P for the production of quality seedlings of Plathymenia foliolosa without the necessity of liming.
Versorgungsrealität vs . leitliniengerechte Bildgebung in der Abdominalradiologie im deutschsprachigen Raum : Ergebnisse einer Online-Umfrage Current Practice vs . Guideline Based Imaging in Abdominal Radiology in the German Speaking Area : Results of an Online Survey

Ziel: In einer Online-Umfrage der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Abdominalund Gastrointestinaldiagnostik der Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft (DRG) sollte ein aktuelles Abbild der gegenwärtig durchgeführten abdominalradiologischen Untersuchungstechniken in Deutschland erstellt und die Ergebnisse den aktuellen Leitlinien zu diesen Themenbereichen gegenübergestellt und kritisch bewertet werden. Material und Methoden: Den Mitgliedern der DRG, die zu der Umfrage in Newslettern und E-Mails eingeladen wurden, stand für 76 Tage eine Online-Umfrage mit insgesamt 65 Fragen und einer Bearbeitungszeit von über 15 Minuten pro Fragebogen zur technischen Durchführung von abdominalradiologischen Fragestellungen offen. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage wurden mit deskriptiven statistischen Methoden ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: Insgesamt beantworteten 90 Teilnehmer die Fragebogen über 80%, die für die Auswertung berücksichtigt werden konnten. Die Umfrage wurde von 27% niedergelassenenund 73% Klinikradiologen durchgeführt, wobei die meisten Teilnehmer in leitenden Positionen waren. Eingeteilt nach Organregionen (Ösophagus, Magen, Pankreas, Leber, Dünndarm, Dickdarm) wurden Angaben zu präferierten akquirierten Kontrastmittelphasen, Arten der oralen und intravenösen Kontrastierung und Auswertemöglichkeiten gemacht. Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage zeigen, dass die meisten befragten Radiologen eine leitlinienkonforme Untersuchungstechnik verwenden, wobei die Mehrheit der Leitlinien keinerlei konkrete Angaben zur radiologisch technischen Untersuchungsdurchführung machen. Daher fallen eine beträchtliche Heterogenität der akquirierten Kontrastmittelphasen sowie eine Diversität der möglichen technischen Parameter auf. Es sollte daher angestrebt werden, eine aktuelle evidenzbasierte Empfehlungszusammenstellung für radiologische Untersuchungen zu entwickeln und zu erstellen. Kernaussagen: ▶ Im deutschsprachigen Raumwerden die Indikationen zu radiologischen abdominellen Untersuchungen weitgehend leitliniengerecht durchgeführt. ▶ Es besteht eine hohe Heterogenität bezüglich der durchgeführten Kontrastmittelphasen bei der Untersuchung von abdominellen parenchymatösen Organen. ▶ Eine weitere Homogenisierung der Durchführung von radiologischen Abdominaluntersuchungen basierend auf neuen Literaturerkenntnissen in der Radiologie im Sinne einer radiologischen Empfehlung oder Leitlinie wäre dringend anzustreben.

SEISMIC MICROZONATION OF VLADIKAVKAZ CITY : HISTORICAL REVIEW AND MODERN TECHNIQUES Paper Title Line 2

Seismic microzonation (SMZ) is a method of zoning the city or a large construction site in zones of the same ground response for standard seismic effect of a certain level and assessment of the relative changes in the characteristics of vibrations on the surface relative to reference site to which the initial intensity is attributed. In this paper the approach used abroad is integrated with the achievements of Russian scientists, especially in the field of the instrumental method, which is the main method of SMZ. Seismic conditions of the territory of Vladikavkaz city were objects of the investigations, as the basis for seismic resistant design and construction. Development of the final map of seismic microzonation was based on the results of instrumental (weak earthquakes registration, seismic impedance and microseisms tools) and calculational (Multiple Reflected Waves and FEM tools) methods, as well as newly developed instrumentalcalculational method. For the first time in Russia on the basis of probabilistic seismic hazard maps of the territory of North Ossetia probabilistic maps of seismic microzonation were designed.
How Large a Sample Size Do I Need ?

Fit refers to the ability of a model to reproduce the data (i.e., usually the variance-covariance matrix). A good-fitting model is one that is reasonably consistent with the data and so does not necessarily require respecification. Not surprisingly, there is considerable debate as to what is means by "reasonably consistent with the data. " Also a good-fitting measurement model is required before interpreting the causal paths of the structural model.

Contracting Earworms : The Roles of Personality and Musicality

The term ‘earworm’ (also known as ‘Involuntary Musical Imagery’ or INMI) describes the experience of a short melody getting stuck in the mind and being heard repeatedly outside of conscious control. Previous studies have examined the relationship between the occurrence of INMI and individual differences, however important questions still remain; the role of personality in particular remains largely unexplored. The studies presented here explored a) the impact of individual characteristics, related to personality and musicality, on INMI experiences (Study 1) and b) different methods of triggering INMI in the lab (Study 2). In study 1, 332 participants completed the BFI (Big Five Inventory) and Gold-MSI (Musical Sophistication Index) questionnaires online and provided information about their INMI experiences (pleasantness, controllability, length, interference, worrying and expunging strategies). Evaluation of the responses indicated that only Neuroticism correlated with earworm characteristics. Earworm frequency correlated with all Gold-MSI subscales (Importance of Music, Perception and Production, Emotions, Body and Creativity) except Musical Training. Two earworm induction procedures tested in Study 2, based on a musical stimulus and on recall of lyrics, were equally successful, regardless of personality traits. The findings of these studies indicate that a) the characteristics of spontaneously earworms (INMI) show a dependence on certain individual personality traits (neuroticism), whereas the deliberate induction of earworms under laboratory conditions does not, and b) the mental process of recalling song lyrics can be as efficient in triggering earworms as listening to music, suggesting that earworm induction may be linked with basic memory mechanisms.
STUDY OF FAT CONTENT DYNAMICS IN DAIRY PRODUCTS WITH THE SIMULATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK ( ANN ) MODEL

In this article an attempt has been made to find some important features of starter cultures on the fat content dynamics in the dairy product “white brined cheese” at a dairy industry laboratory in republic of macedonia. The data samples were collected from a private dairy during the year 2015-2017from the above mentioned and the three samples were three different starter cultures of three white brined cheese variants (a, b, c). Here we tried to find some direct effects on the fat content dynamics for such samples. The whole experimental works have been done for all above three different starter cultures and also were analyzed over the fat content during the process of ripening of the white brined cheese. These results were compared with the simulated data of artificial neural networking (ann) model. The obtained results were found in good agreement with simulated data.
SCOLIOSIS AND SPORT

In the course of growth and development, affected by various internal and external factors, various postural disorders may occur, especially in school-age children. Scoliosis is defined as a lateral curvature of the spinal column in the coronal plane, but the disorder actually occurs in three dimensions. The prevalence of scoliosis is from 2% to 3%, and it is the highest in patients in the 12-14 age range, affecting girls more than boys at a ratio of 2:1. Functional scoliosis occurs more frequently than structural scoliosis. Idiopathic scoliosis is structural scoliosis which has no definite cause; it may progress and affect the function of internal organ systems and occurrence of back pain. Annual children’s medical check-ups and early detection of scoliosis are essential for treatment of scoliosis. Treatment depends on the size and progression of the curve, skeletal maturity, scope of physical therapy and observation. The potential association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and sports is still insufficiently researched. Young athletes may have spinal deformities which are not related to any sports activity or may be potentially associated with the sport they practise. The International Scientific Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment has come up with the guidelines for sports activities in children with scoliosis. This association does not recommend sport for treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. Sports activities are recommended due to their specific useful effects in the psychological, neuromuscular and general aspect of health in patients with scoliosis, even in patients during the treatment with spinal orthoses. In patients with a high risk of scoliosis progression, it is recommended to avoid competitive activities with a higher degree of mobility of the spinal column.
The Effects of Self-Directed Learning on the English Reading Comprehension Ability of MBA Students

In this study, self-directed learning (SDL) refers to practices for English reading comprehension ability of individual students outside of a classroom for 7 consecutive weeks. The objectives were to investigate the effect of SDL on English reading comprehension ability and its effect size; and to explore how SDL improves English reading comprehension ability of the 33 MBA students of Dhurakij Pundit University in Bangkok, Thailand. This research project took the form of an embedded mixed methods design with a variant of the embedded experimental model. Quantitative data were collected by the reading part of TOEIC, and qualitative data by a Learning Summary and Evaluation Sheet, and by the teacher’s reflections. The dependent samples t-test reveals that, on average, the English reading comprehension ability of the subject students before the SDL (M = 12.30, SD = 2.76), and that after the SDL project (M = 13.33, SD = 3.30) is significantly different (p = 0.02). This means that, on average, the English reading comprehension ability of the students in the post-test significantly increases from the pre-test. The effect size is 0.34, which means that its magnitude is “small”. SDL improves reading ability in terms of “increasing awareness of reading strategy use” (51.52%), “developing learning responsibility and effort” (21.21%), “providing freedom to learn” (21.21%), and “building self-confidence to read” (6.06%). Implications and applications are discussed, and recommendations are provided.
Complexity and Control as Determinants of Performance with Information Technology Innovations

Introducing innovations (e.g., new software applications) is a challenge to organizations as well as in the classroom. Using 244 students, this laboratory experiment evaluates the impact of perceived complexity and control on performance with a computer-assisted software engineering tool. The students were placed into three groups on the basis of their formal IS education and the length of their training on the tool. Upon completion of their database design task, they completed a questionnaire concerning their perceptions of the complexity of the tool and the control they had using the tool. The findings show that perceived complexity and control impacted performance, but did so in different ways for each group. Further, the experiment revealed that training had a greater impact than formal education.
FROBENIUS–PERRON OPERATOR DESCRIPTION OF MARKOV CHAINS

We consider canonical shift space representation of discretetime Markov chain given by transition kernels. Markov shifts and eigenfunctions of skew products above them are characterized by terms of Frobenius– Perron operator. The results are applied to the exactness property of Markov chains. We introduce also the notion of quasi-Markov chain and apply it to Gauss endomorphisms. 2010 AMS Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 37A05; Secondary: 60J10.
Modification and Improvement of Disconfirmation of Expectancies , Satisfaction , and Mood Response Scales

Within sport management research, disconfirmation/confirmation of expectancies, satisfaction, and mood responses have been examined by several researchers (e.g., Madrigal, 1997; Trail, Anderson, & Fink, 2005; Trail, Fink, & Anderson, 2003) and have been deemed to be primary determinants of consumption intentions, BIRGing/CORFing behaviors, and actual consumption. However, inconsistencies exist in the measuring of these dimensions. Thus, the purpose of this research is to improve the existing research and propose new modified measures of (dis)confirmation, satisfaction, and mood.
Growth and Yield Response of Three Mungbean ( Vigna radiata L . ) Cultivars to Varying Seeding Rates

Response of three mungbean cultivars namely NM-92, NARC-Mung-1 and NM-98 to three seeding rates viz. 15, 20 and 25 kg ha was studied during the year 2002-2003. Cultivar NM-98 produced maximum number of pods per plant (17.30), grain yield (983.75 kg ha) and harvest index value (24.91%). Cultivar NM-92 showed significantly the highest seed protein contents (24.64%). Seed rate of 15 kg ha produced maximum pods per plant (18.47) but the lowest grain yield of 908.63 kg ha. Seed rate of 25 kg ha seemed optimum with grain yield of 1004.36 kg ha and could be due to the most optimum plant population in the existing environment.

ndividual connectedness in innovation networks : On the role of individual otivation

Explanations of knowledge sharing in organizations emphasize either personality variables such as motivation or network-related structural variables such as centrality. Little empirical research examines how these two types of variables are in fact related: how do extrinsic and intrinsic motivation explain the position that an employee entertains in a knowledge sharing network within an organization? Much is to be gained from a better understanding of how, empirically, psychological variables and an organization’s network interrelate (Burt et al., 1998; Kalish and Robins, 2006; Moch, 1980; Teigland and Wasko, 2009). Still, this line of enquiry is not pursued much (Foss et al., 2009). This paper integrates the structural characteristics known to be implicated in knowledge transfer typically focused on in the social network literature on the one hand, with the motivational perspective commonly identified in the organization literature. This study examines how motivation – extrinsic (expected organizational rewards, recipronter-unit knowledge transfer cal benefits) and intrinsic (knowledge self-efficacy, enjoyment in helping others) – might explain how employees may be better connected in the full knowledge transfer network or might be engaged more in inter-unit knowledge transfer. Connectedness (closeness centrality) and inter-unit ties are well-known to contribute to knowledge transfer. Analyzing data from a survey at two large European organizations, this study, counterintuitively, shows that neither intrinsic nor extrinsic motivation explain an individual’s favorable position in a knowledge transfer network. © 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.
