Sensitivity of Axial Velocity at the Air Gap Entrance to Flow Rate Distribution at Stator Radial Ventilation Ducts of Air-Cooled Turbo-Generator with Single-Channel Ventilation

In the design and calculation of a 330 MW water-water-air cooling turbo-generator, it was found that the flow direction of the fluid in the local stator radial ventilation duct is opposite to the design direction. In order to study what physical quantities are associated with the formation of this unusual fluid flow phenomenon, in this paper, a 100 MW air-cooled turbo-generator with the same ventilation structure as the abovementioned models is selected as the research object. The distribution law and pressure of the fluid in the stator radial ventilation duct and axial flow velocity at the air gap entrance are obtained by the test method. After the calculation method is proved correct by experimental results, this calculation method is used to calculate the flow velocity distribution of the outlets of multiple radial ventilation ducts at various flow velocities at air gap inlets. The relationship between the flow distribution law of the stator ventilation ducts and the inlet velocity of the air gap is studied. The phenomenon of backflow of fluid in the radial ventilation duct of the stator is found, and then the influence of backflow on the temperature distribution of stator core and winding is studied. It is found that the flow phenomenon can cause local overheating of the stator core.
The Effect of Mixed Wastewaters on the Biomass Production and Biochemical Content of Microalgae

The effect of ammonia and iron concentration in Bold Basal Medium and mixed wastewater (including pretreated piggery wastewater and acid mine drainage) on biomass production and biochemical content (lipid and ß-carotene) of microalgae (Uronema sp. KGE 3) was investigated. Addition of iron to the Bold Basal Medium enhanced the growth, lipid, and ß-carotene of Uronema sp. KGE 3. The highest dry cell weight, lipid content, and lipid productivity of KGE 3 were 0.551 g L-1, 46% and 0.249 g L-1 d-1, respectively, at 15 mg L-1 of Fe. The highest ß-carotene was obtained at 30 mg L-1 of Fe. The biomass production of KGE 3 was ranged between 0.18 to 0.37 g L-1. The microalgal growth was significantly improved by addition of acid mine drainage to pretreated piggery wastewater by membrane. The highest dry cell weight of 0.51 g L-1 was obtained at 1:9 of pretreated piggery wastewater by membrane and acid mine drainage for KGE 3. The removal efficiencies of total nitrogen and total phosphate was ranged from 20 to 100%. The highest lipid and ß-carotene content was found to be 1:9. Application of this system to wastewater treatment plant could provide cost effective technology for the microalgae-based industries and biofuel production field, and also provide the recycling way for pretreated piggery wastewater and acid mine drainage.
The pedagogic value of learning design with virtual reality

Abstract Spatial design as a discipline relies on the psychological construct of space. In the light of shortcomings and challenges faced by traditional approaches to spatial design learning, this paper investigates the role and value of Virtual Reality (VR) as a pedagogic vehicle. Based on understandings informed by action-research using VR with learners in two modules, and underpinning interdisciplinary research on cognition, perception of space, and learning pedagogies; the paper works through defined research questions on both impact of learning with VR, development of spatial cognition with VR, and the differences between traditional approaches to spatial design curriculum and VR enabled approach and whether or not these differences are associated with differential outcomes. We propose VR enhanced design education pedagogical framework and argues that such an approach is needed to shape futuristic thinking in spatial design teaching and learning.
Aberrant salience and fatigue as mediators between early life experiences and ideas of reference

ABSTRACT Introduction: This article reports on a mediational study performed from a proposal relating positive and negative indicators in clinical and nonclinical populations on a psychopathological severity continuum. We analyzed a mediation model of the development of vulnerability to psychosis, recalled threatening experiences, and submission to or devaluation by caregivers, in which aberrant salience and fatigue are the mediating variables on ideas of reference. Method: The sample consisted of 437 participants (295 healthy controls and 142 patients), and the study design was ex-post-facto, transversal, and multivariate. Results: Early threat, submission and devaluation experiences were found to be significantly related to ideas of reference and to the aberrant salience and fatigue variables. Aberrant salience and fatigue partially mediated the relationship between recalled adverse experiences with caregivers and the presence of ideas of reference. Conclusions: This study shows the importance of aberrant salience and fatigue in the development of Psychotic-like Experiences such as ideas of reference. The continuum model suggests that these processes may be analyzed in clinical and nonclinical populations.
The role of performance feedback consistency in aspiration level adaptation: Evidence from a European grocery retailer

This study investigates whether and how the impact of drivers of aspiration levels changes across the cases of consistent and inconsistent performance feedback within the context of a retailer. Analysis of internal corporate data shows that while past aspiration level and performance–aspiration gap positively influence the current aspiration level in the case of inconsistent feedback, performance feedback consistency changes only the impact of performance relative to peers. This study replicates past research in a different industry and country due to limited empirical evidence, introduces real-world complexity into aspiration theory, pinpoints performance–aspiration gap as the primary performance feedback, introduces a new sign for the impact of performance relative to peers, and reconciles its previously detected mixed impact. The findings suggest that organizational attention has an inward focus in the case of inconsistent feedback. The results also point out that leaders can trigger change through a performance outcome that lags behind the corresponding aspiration level rather than the performance of peers and eventually move their organizations toward high performance targets by starting with feasible rather than stretch goals.
Educational Leadership in Teaching Excellence (EnLITE): A Peer-Driven Faculty Development Program

Educational Leadership in Teaching Excellence (EnLITE) is an 11-month faculty development program at the University of Guelph, Ontario. Created and led by faculty members and educational developers, EnLITE is designed to engage participants in the principles, practice and theory of teaching and learning in higher education and to promote a learner-centred approach to teaching. Participants critically examine and discuss scholarly topics on teaching and learning and in their own disciplines; collaborate with one or more teaching mentors; engage in peer classroom observation; and participate in other teaching-related activities informed by their individual learning plans. Our objective was to determine the perceived impact of EnLITE on participants’ teaching-related practices and experiences. We collected pre-, post- and one-year post-program quantitative and qualitative survey responses from each of the 2014-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 EnLITE cohorts (N = 17 participants representing a variety of disciplines; 71% female). There were significant improvements in participants’ perceived teaching practices related to critical self-reflection (13% increase from pre- to one-year post-program), student engagement (+28.2%), collaborative learning (+31%) and learner-centred pedagogy (+22.9%, all p < 0.05). There was little to no change in use of technology, student assessment, leadership, participation in communities of practice, or dissemination of teaching-related scholarship. These results provide empirical evidence of the effectiveness of a peer-driven faculty development program in promoting a learning-centred approach to teaching. Future research should determine whether these changes translate into improved student learning, and whether such programs demonstrate longer term improvements in engagement in teaching-related leadership, communities of practice and dissemination.
Understanding the Curricular Needs and Practice Contexts of Macro Social Work: A Community-Based Process

ABSTRACT Macro social workers have consistently taken up the difficult task of articulating and refining our identity. Deciding on priorities for the preparation of students is a key component of this work. Standards and areas of focus set by our accrediting and organizing bodies (Council on Social Work Education [CSWE], Association for Community Organization and Social Administration [ACOSA]) are a great help toward this goal of continual refinement of standards and competencies for macro practice. Adding to this scholarship, our research uses practitioner interviews from a large, urban area (N = 16); our research goal was to examine the essential knowledge, skills, and attributes for macro social workers and to determine associated programmatic considerations. Findings highlight the need to honor and promote the unique disciplinary framework and philosophical underpinnings of macro social work, while also preparing students to work across multiple levels of practice and diverse disciplines.
Information Status and Prosodic Prominence as Perceived by Korean
 Learners of English

This study investigates the relationship between information status and prosodic prominence perceived by Korean learners of the English language, compared to English native speakers, in a complete public speech. Both groups of speakers were asked to mark words that they perceived as being prominent, while listening to a speech in real time. The information status of a word was annotated as a function of referential and lexical information, as well as focus. The results show that Korean native speakers perceive prosodic prominence in a similar manner to that of English native speakers. Both groups are more likely to perceive prominence for new or focused words than for given or non-focused words. The two groups, however, differ in that Korean native speakers tend to more frequently perceive prominence for words carrying lexical information than English native speakers. This bias seems to be influenced by parts-of-speech, in alignment with the findings of previous studies.
Estimation of nutritional status of conscript soldiers from years 1994–2007

The aim of this work was estimation of the nutritional status of young men beginning compulsory military service in units located all over Poland. This assessment was carried out in the years 1994-2007. Average age of the examined men living in cities ranged from 19.9±1.6–21.9±1.3. Body mass of the examined subjects ranged from 67.3±9.3 kg – 74.3±7.3 kg, while body height ranged from 175.1±6.6 cm – 179.1±6.3. Average BMI value of recruits coming from both the cities and from the country was similar, and stayed within the normal range. BMI value of men coming from cities ranged from 21.4±2.2 kg/m2 – 23.4±7.5 kg/m2 -while values of those coming from the country ranged from 21.7±2.5 kg/m2 – 23.5±3.1 kg/m2. The occurrence of body mass disturbances, both underweight, overweight and obesity among young men beginning military service is a result of improper eating habits at home. The revealed high percentage of overweight and obese recruits may significantly limit the soldiers’ physical efficiency, and impede both the training process and the possibility of perfect fulfilment of military tasks, and thereby the soldiers’ combat abilities.
The Effects of Email Performance-Based Feedback Delivered to Teaching Teams: A Systematic Replication

A multiple-baseline across behaviors design was utilized to examine the relation between performance-based feedback (PF) and the frequency of teaching teams’ use of target behaviors during observation sessions with six teachers in three inclusive preschool classrooms. Teachers increased their use of target behaviors when feedback was provided and maintained their use over time when feedback was withdrawn; however, there was considerable variability across teachers. Furthermore, teachers did not increase their use of target behaviors during covert observations—when they did not know they were being observed. The current study replicates and extends the research in this area by examining the provision of PF to teaching teams and with complex behaviors (e.g., play expansions, promoting social interactions).
Stopping wolves in the wild and legitimizing meat consumption: Effects of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance on animal-related behaviors

In the present research, we applied the dual process model of ideology and prejudice to beliefs and behavioral intentions toward animals. In Study 1 (N = 126), we demonstrate in a community sample that right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) predicts support for restricting the distribution of wolves and bears in the wild mediated by perceived threat elicited from the animal outgroups. In contrast, social dominance orientation (SDO) had an indirect effect on the legitimization of meat consumption via endorsement of human supremacy beliefs. In Study 2 (N = 223), we examined the causal direction of the dual process model using an experimental approach. Results show that RWA predicts support for restricting the free movement of a new animal species in the wild only when it is perceived to be threatening for humans. However, SDO predicted perceived legitimacy of meat consumption, regardless of whether the new animal species was characterized as lower or higher in status compared to other animals. Implications of these findings are discussed.
Predicting Career Outcome Measures Using an Internship Evaluation Instrument: The Internship Profiling Questionnaire

Predicting Career Outcome Measures Using an Internship Evaluation Instrument: The Internship Profiling Questionnaire Christopher T. Silva Department of Psychology, BYU Master of Science Internships have become an integral part of post-secondary education, while also serving as a means for students to distinguish themselves as job candidates. Although internship programs have formally been in place for over a hundred years, surprisingly little research has been done into the topic, even though more than three out of four students participate in at least one internship before they graduate college. The purpose of this study is to develop and test an internship evaluation tool that will help educators distinguish the high quality internship opportunities from low quality ones. Based on management profiling questionnaires that became popular in the 1970s, we have devised this instrument, the Internship Profiling Questionnaire (IPQ), using feedback models of development. Using a sample of Brigham Young University alumni, we conducted an online survey of job placement, job satisfaction, and vocational selfcrystallization concept as outcome variables to be predicted from the IPQ.
Overfishing, social problems, and ecosocial sustainability in Senegalese fishing communities

ABSTRACT This study explores living conditions of people in Senegalese fishing communities in relation to environmental change and unregulated fishing by foreign boats, weakening local opportunities and increasing forced migration of youth, creating problems for the future development of local fishery communities. It employs a postcolonial perspective and analyzes data collected through interviews with individuals from Senegalese fishing communities, social workers and relevant documents. The results show local reactions based on alliances between social workers and local community members to overfishing and the need for national and global structural changes. It is argued that EU’s fishing agreements with Senegalese government is one of the reasons behind youths’ forced migration to EU countries and that the betterment of the living conditions of fishery communities in Senegal requires not only already emerging alliances between social workers and local community members, but also national and global structural changes to protect Africa’s fishing communities and local fisheries.
Design, fabrication and characterization of RF MEMS shunt switch for wideband operation of 3 GHz to 30 GHz

This paper presents a novel method to obtain high isolation for a wideband RF MEMS switch. The MIM shunt capacitive switch consists of two identical beams placed in parallel over floating metals of different lengths on the signal line of a CPW. With two beams in parallel, the effective resistance and inductance of the switch is lesser than a switch with only one beam. The decrease in resistance provides higher isolation at resonant frequency while the decrease in inductance provides higher isolation at frequencies beyond resonant frequency. While the increase in insertion loss due to two beams is insignificant, there is a substantial increase in isolation over a large band of frequency. A switch with two beams with isolation greater than 30 dB and insertion loss less than 0.5 dB in the range of 3 GHz to 30 GHz is demonstrated.
Self-presentation and impressions of personality through text-based online dating profiles: A lens model analysis

In online dating, the self-authored profile serves as the primary way for daters to introduce themselves to others and to learn more about potential partners. However, few studies have examined the extent to which daters’ self-authored profile content is consistent with the impressions that others actually form. This study applied the Brunswikian lens model (1956) to examine self-presentation and impression formation in the text-based “about me” portion of the online dating profile. Using the meaning extraction method, we analyzed 190 profiles. Consistent with the lexical approach to personality, daters were able to encode aspects of themselves through linguistic self-description (cue validity), and observers were able to decode profile information to form impressions (cue utilization). However, there were few significant associations between a dater’s self-presentation and observers’ judgments (functional achievement). Findings are interpreted in line with previous work examining self-presentation and impressions in online dating profiles.
Development of drug conjugates for cancer therapy and evaluation of dual sirna silencing effect on breast cancer growth and invasion

The objective of this dissertation is to present various approaches for treatment cancer, which is the leading cause of death worldwide. Compared to other disease, cancer has many unique biological characteristics that can be exploited for its therapy. In chapter 1 and 2, its molecular characteristics and microenvironments, as well as the corresponding therapeutic strategies, are summarized. In chapter 3, we developed a peptide drug conjugate to specifically deliver TGX-221 to HER2 overexpressed prostate cancer cells. TGX-221 is a highly potent phosphoinositide 3kinases β (PI3Kβ) inhibitor that holds great promise as a novel chemotherapy agent for prostate cancer. However, poor solubility and lack of targetability limit its therapeutic applications. The peptide drug conjugate was proven to be gradually cleaved by PSA to release TGX-D1 (TGX221 analogue). Both the peptide drug conjugate and its cleaved products demonstrate a comparable activity to the parent drug, TGX-D1. Moreover, cellular uptake of the peptide drug conjugate and its cleaved product SL-TGX were significantly higher in prostate cancer cells compared to the parent drug. The high cellular uptake of dipeptide drug conjugate SL-TGX might be mediated by peptide transporters in prostate cancer cells. However, the expression of

Use of sensory analysis and social media for product development driven by consumers: a case-study for smoked bacon

Use of sensory analysis and social media for product development driven by consumers: A case-study for smoked bacon Daily food selection is made without much effort and is determined by experienced, affective, and intuitive processes, commonly expressed through social media. However, the majority of the current studies in sensory and consumer science use classical methods without considering social media, which are currently used to express the “consumer-voice”. This fact could jeopardize the ecological validity and reliability of the current sensory methods. In this sense, studies based on classical and new sensory methods, along with social media, could provide more realistic results, since social desirable and rationalized responses to a “stimulus” would be prevented. In this context, the objective of the current work was to study the transition from classical sensory analysis to social media as an alternative in the development of smoked bacon considering the consumer ́s response. This thesis is divided into eight studies, with the first four studies based on the intrinsic properties of the product. In the following two studies the dynamic sensory perception, using the Temporal Dominance of Sensations, was studied. The two final studies addressed the non-sensory properties associated with smoked bacon. The results of the present study indicated that the static sensory properties and the volatile profile of bacon were dependent on the smoking process. The dynamic sensory properties were dependent on the smoking, fat content and mastication. Non-sensory factors affected the representation of smoked bacon, with healthiness being the most important factor, followed by context of consumption and convenience. The lexicometric analysis of the tweets revealed that the main associations of the word bacon in twitter were: culinary preparations, occasions of consumption and positive feelings. Finally, it can be concluded that the transition process from classical methods to social networks is a growing phenomenon, which seeks to complement the static and dynamic intrinsic sensory measurements in the search for a better understanding of consumer’s behavior.
