The commons as a paradigm shift for a regenerative Anthropocene
Authors: Magalhães Paulo , Costa Álvaro , Morello Gabriela , Guimarães Ana Luísa , Viegas José
Published: November 2021

As the Earth System's trajectory approaches an irreversible path towards a "Hothouse Earth", societies remain unable to collectively ensure the maintenance of a stable climate. Nearly 30 years have passed after climate change was considered a Common Concern of Humankind, a status that remains the legal framework adopted by the Paris Agreement. A stable climate is a manifestation of the stable and well-defined functioning of the Earth System. Although intangible, a stable climate exists in the real world and is necessarily a common good for being limited, exhaustible, and non-excludable. Thus, a congruent system between the rules of appropriation (negative impacts) and provision of the global public good (positive impacts) is necessary for the effective management of the common good – stable climate. However, in the current legal framework that considers a stable climate a Common Concern of Humankind, a stable climate is invisible to our international legal system and economy, which makes it impossible for it to become an object of international governance. Here, the authors argue that the recognition of a stable climate as the Common Heritage of Humankind is the first and fundamental step for being able to act towards restoring and maintaining a stable climate.

Published: November 2021

In the last few years, the use of drones is increasing day by day in wireless networks and the applications of them are rapidly increased on different sides. Now, we can use the drone as an aerial base station (BS) to support cellular networks in emergency cases and in natural disasters. To take the advantage of both drones and fifth-generation (5G) and link between their features, we study an aerial BS considering millimeter waves (mm-waves). In this paper, we optimize the 3D placements for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in an mm-wave network to achieve maximum time durations of the uplink transmission. First, we present a formulation for the placement problem, where we aim to allocate 3D locations for multiple UAVs to achieve the maximum sum of time durations of uplink transmissions. We propose an efficient algorithm to find the placements of UAVs. We propose an algorithm that starts by grouping the wireless devices into a number of clusters, and each cluster is served by a single UAV. After the clustering process, it applies the gradient projection-based algorithm (GP) or particle swarm optimization (PSO) in each cluster. In the results section, our proposed approach and the center projection algorithm will be compared to prove the efficiency of our approach.

Authors: Jung Yukyeong , Han Jae Ho , Choi Seokyu , Lee Jae Hee
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This study aimed to measure the test-retest reliability of the Korean Matrix sentence-in-noise test in a sound-field testing condition.Methods: Fifty-five listeners with normal hearing participated. The sound-field speech-in-noise test was administered with a front loudspeaker by presenting noise at a fixed level (65 dB SPL) while adaptively adjusting the sentence level based on the listener’s response. The speech reception thresholds (SRTs) corresponding to 50% sentence-in-noise intelligibility were obtained using speech-shaped noise (SSN), International Collegium of Rehabilitative Audiology (ICRA) noise, and International Speech Test Signal (ISTS) noise. For the test-retest reliability, each subject was tested twice in a 2-week interval. The test-retest reliabilities were judged by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the minimal detectable change (MDC) values, and Bland-Altman plots.Results: The test-retest reliabilities of the Korean Matrix sentence test were good (ICC, 0.84~0.86) across SSN, ICRA, ISTS noises. The MDC was 0.92 dB SNR for SSN and 2.83 and 2.98 dB SNR for ICRA and ISTS, indicating the random measurement error varied across the types of noise.Conclusion: The Korean Matrix sentence-in-noise test can be used as a reliable tool to assess speech-in-noise intelligibility in sound-field testing condition. Further study across various sessions would strengthen the present finding.

Published: November 2021

It was found that in the region of the percolation threshold, depending on the dominance of one or another conduction mechanism, the temperature dependence of the specific volume resistivity ρ(Т) of the polymer composite based on a matrix of ethylene vinyl acetate is significantly transformed. With an increase in the CB content, there is a decrease by several orders of magnitude in the maximum value of the relative resistivity ρ(Т)max/ρ20 in its temperature dependence. Peroxide crosslinking of matrix macromolecules leads to a change in the nature of the temperature dependence of resistivity.

To form a multi-beam radiation pattern, it is proposed to use the axial geometry of acousto-optic interaction in paratellurite. In single frequency mode, the use of this geometry for angular scanning is characterized by a dip in the frequency response. Optimization of a multifrequency radio signal makes it possible to effectively divide laser radiation into several beams, while maintaining the fundamental advantages of axial geometry: minimum crystal size and power consumption

Published: November 2021

As the perception on abortion changes into a social problem, it is high time to also change the notion of criminalizing abortion. This necessitates the creation of societal structures that will respond to it. This study aimed to review the abortion counseling system that responds to the pregnancy and childbirth crisis. We conducted a review of the literatures and documentations made available through search engines, including cases overseas. In addition, we analyzed the currently operating pregnancy and childbirth-related service systems and reviewed the issues being discussed in Korea regarding artificial abortion. Based on these analyses, we suggest steps that can be taken for the revision of the law as Constitutional Discordance determining on abortion clause of criminal law. In addition, we propose a plan to establish an appropriate abortion counseling system that will respond to the domestic pregnancy and childbirth crisis.

Authors: Kim Guy Nam , Jun Eun-Young
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effects of the Unpleasant Symptom-Relief Program to mitigate preterm labor stress, anxiety, physical discomfort, and situational discomfort in hospitalized high-risk pregnant women.Methods: This study used a nonequivalent control group nonsynchronized design and analyzed 23 participants from the experimental group and 23 from the control group. The participants from both the groups were matched and diagnosed with preterm labor, incompetent internal os of the cervix, preterm premature rupture of membrane, placenta previa, or gestational diabetes mellitus. The effects of the Unpleasant Symptom-Relief Program were measured using tools such as preterm labor stress, anxiety, physical discomfort, and situational discomfort. The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 21.0 using descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square test, paired t-test, and repeated measures analysis of variance.Results: The Unpleasant Symptom-Relief Program was effective in reducing preterm labor stress (F= 8.24, p=0.001), anxiety (F=17.80, p≤0.001), and situational discomfort (F=5.95, p=0.004). However, it was not effective in reducing the physical discomfort (F=1.20, p=0.311). Post hoc analysis between time points revealed effective reduction in the preterm labor stress and anxiety in both the groups immediately after the end of the program and at 7 days after the program. Situational discomfort was reduced at 7 days after the end of the program in both the groups.Conclusion: The Unpleasant Symptom-Relief Program can be applied in practice by nurses. It can contribute to alleviating the symptoms and discomfort of high-risk pregnant women.

Authors: Gillam Juliet , Davies Nathan , Aworinde Jesutofunmi , Yorganci Emel , Anderson Janet E , Evans Catherine
Published: November 2021

Background

As dementia progresses, symptoms and concerns increase, causing considerable distress for the person and their caregiver. The integration of care between care homes and health care services is vital to meet increasing care needs and maintain quality of life. However, care home access to high-quality health care is inequitable. eHealth can facilitate this by supporting remote specialist input on care processes, such as clinical assessment and decision-making, and streamlining care on site. How to best implement eHealth in the care home setting is unclear.

Objective

The aim of this review was to identify the key factors that influence the implementation of eHealth for people living with dementia in long-term care.

Methods

A systematic search of Embase, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and CINAHL was conducted to identify studies published between 2000 and 2020. Studies were eligible if they focused on eHealth interventions to improve treatment and care assessment or decision-making for residents with dementia in care homes. Data were thematically analyzed and deductively mapped onto the 6 constructs of the adapted Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The results are presented as a narrative synthesis.

Results

A total of 29 studies were included, focusing on a variety of eHealth interventions, including remote video consultations and clinical decision support tools. Key factors that influenced eHealth implementation were identified across all 6 constructs of the CFIR. Most concerned the inner setting construct on requirements for implementation in the care home, such as providing a conducive learning climate, engaged leadership, and sufficient training and resources. A total of 4 novel subconstructs were identified to inform the implementation requirements to meet resident needs and engage end users.

Conclusions

Implementing eHealth in care homes for people with dementia is multifactorial and complex, involving interaction between residents, staff, and organizations. It requires an emphasis on the needs of residents and the engagement of end users in the implementation process. A novel conceptual model of the key factors was developed and translated into 18 practical recommendations on the implementation of eHealth in long-term care to guide implementers or innovators in care homes. Successful implementation of eHealth is required to maximize uptake and drive improvements in integrated health and social care.
Examining TikTok’s Potential for Community-Engaged Digital Knowledge Mobilization With Equity-Seeking Groups
Authors: MacKinnon Kinnon Ross , Kia Hannah , Lacombe-Duncan Ashley
Published: November 2021

Social media is increasingly being leveraged by researchers to engage in public debates and rapidly disseminate research results to health care providers, health care users, policy makers, educators, and the general public. This paper contributes to the growing literature on the use of social media for digital knowledge mobilization, drawing particular attention to TikTok and its unique potential for collaborative knowledge mobilization with underserved communities who experience barriers to health care and health inequities (eg, equity-seeking groups). Setting the TikTok platform apart from other social media are the unique audiovisual video editing tools, together with an impactful algorithm, that make knowledge dissemination and exchange with large global audiences possible. As an example, we will discuss digital knowledge mobilization with trans and nonbinary (trans) communities, a population that experiences barriers to health care and is engaged in significant peer-to-peer health information sharing on the web. To demonstrate, analytics data from 13 selected TikTok videos on the topic of research on gender-affirming medicine (eg, hormonal therapy and surgeries) are presented to illustrate how knowledge is disseminated within the trans community via TikTok. Considerations for researchers planning to use TikTok for digital knowledge mobilization and other related community engagement with equity-seeking groups are also discussed. These include the limitations of TikTok analytics data for measuring knowledge mobilization, population-specific concerns related to community safety on social media, the spread of disinformation, barriers to internet access, and commercialization and intellectual property issues. This paper concludes that TikTok is an innovative social media platform that presents possibilities for achieving transformative, community-engaged knowledge mobilization among researchers, underserved health care users, and their health care providers, all of whom are necessary to achieve better health care and population health outcomes.
Balai Pustaka and the Politics of Knowledge

Published: November 2021

During the colonial period of Indonesia the Dutch government was an important source of knowledge which was disseminated through the production of books, such as textbooks and other printed material. In response to the establishment of many new commercial printers and publishers, the colonial government, in 1917, set up its own publishing company, Balai Pustaka, which also published attractive and popular books. This new publishing house intentionally and unintentionally served several goals at a time that was characterized by the rise of young Indonesian intellectuals who were part of new political movements formed in the first decades of the 20th century.
The Dilemma of Knowledge Transfer in Early Independent Indonesia
Authors: Lindblad J. Thomas
Published: November 2021

This article addresses the dilemma of knowledge transfer at the time of decolonization and early independence in Indonesian history. There was an urgently felt need to replace Dutch knowledge as far as possible with knowledge held by Indonesians or imported from foreign countries other than the Netherlands. Concurrently, from the time of Indonesia’s independence there was also a necessity to retain or gain access to practical knowledge required for economic development The article argues that this dilemma was resolved by a mix of policies geared towards different levels of sophistication of the knowledge involved. The article contains a brief theoretical treatment of this dilemma, followed by a global overview of policies implemented. A separate case study on the key banking sector serves to demonstrate the possibilities and constraints in effectuating a transfer of knowledge soon after independence.

Recycling Marine Plastic into Clothing Apparel via Global Collaborations
Authors: Swain Akkshita
Published: November 2021

Abstract: According to the United Nations, aquatic pollution affects at least 800 species worldwide, with plastic responsible for up to 80% of the waste. Every minute, up to 13 million metric tonnes of plastic is expected to end up in the ocean, the equivalent of a trash or garbage truck load. Plastic is a design failure; it was never intended to end up in animals' stomachs or at the bottom of the food chain in humans. The fashion industry is a massive contributor to the plastic waste found in the oceans and so it becomes necessary for corporations to take sustainable steps in the direction of reducing Ocean Plastic Pollution. One of the ways to do so would be by recycling ocean plastic into clothes. Our study focuses on analysing global collaborations and suggesting a series of steps for recycling ocean plastic.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. The era of high technologies and economy disrupts interaction between man and nature, worsening the state of the environment and living conditions on Earth. In Russia, the construction industry follows a classical development model and applies stereotypical patterns of urban design. Finding problem solving methods means identifcation of problem triggers that help to clearly understand and develop rational problem tackling mechanisms. Green roofs suggest an advanced approach to architecture and urbanization whereby green spaces take the place of new buildings. Supplementary dynamic space is not reduced to its decorative and environmental functions. Materials and methods. We applied such research methods as analysis, the system approach, synthesis, deduction, and comparative analysis. The initial review of the state of aﬀairs in the Ryazan region was performed with regard for the theoretical nature of this study; correlation and regression analysis were employed to assess territories and spaces. Results. The history of green roof systems is analyzed in the article. Systematization of the eﬀective regulatory and technical framework enabled the co-authors to assess the widespread applicability of the green roof technology in Russia. Special attention is paid to the issues that are not covered by eﬀective domestic regulations. The research work has shown that the frst edition of GOST (All-Russian State Standard) 58875 is an attempt to consolidate previously issued manuals and recommendations. There is no information available about the seasonal efciency of green roof solutions in diﬀerent Russian regions. A number of issues remain unresolved. The “green roof” policy has not been developed. Conclusions. Russia is not ready for large-scale construction of green roofs. Further research into green construction should be carried out with regard for unstable climatic conditions in diﬀerent regions of the country to confrm the feasibility of green roofing at the legislative level.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. The co-authors present the findings of experimental studies of the adhesion force arising between a zinc-coated steel plate and concrete. Four specimens were used in testing. Rectangular plates, embedded in a concrete parallelepiped, had different types of surfaces. They were smooth, perforated with holes, or they had connecting elements such as bolts or spikes. The behavior of specimens under loading is analyzed; graphs, describing the dependency between displacements and loading are provided, and the design resistance is determined to analyze the adhesion force between concrete and a zinc-coated steel plate. Materials and methods. Four specimens were used in testing. Each specimen represented a zinc-coated steel plate embedded in a concrete parallelepiped. A test bench, consisting of a load frame and a hydraulic cylinder, which pulled the steel plate out of a concrete parallelepiped, was used in the experiment. Results. Deformation dependences of specimens were obtained, graphs describing the dependence of displacement on loa­ding were drawn for four types of surfaces, loading values that trigger the failure of specimens and dependence between the loading value, that triggers the failure, and the structure of the embedded part of the plate, are identified. The nature of the concrete failure at the interface with a zinc-coated plate is tracked. Conclusions. The results of the experiment enable us to conclude that the joint action of concrete and a steel beam is possible without the use of additional elements in composite structures that have bent profiles. The adhesion properties of materials and the stamped part of the profile are capable of absorbing shear forces arising in structures. For a more accurate analysis of floor slabs that contain bent profiles, additional experimental studies are to be conducted. Specimens, having bent profiles embedded in concrete, will be tested in the course of these experiments.

Published: November 2021

Burkholderia sp. has been reported as a poly-hydroxy-butyrate (PHB) producer. PHB is a natural polyester class with a wide range of applications in foods, medicines, and biomedicines. However, the high production cost of PHB may limit its potential. Molasses, a by-product of the sugarcane industry available abundantly, may be used as an alternative carbon source of PHB production. In this research, we aimed to evaluate PHB production by Burkholderia sp. B73 in fermentation media using molasses as an alternative carbon source. Small-scale experiments were performed in Erlenmeyer flasks on a shaker at 150 rpm and 30 °C to evaluate the best initial C/N ratio for biomass accumulation and PHB production. A set of parameters including bacterial growth, dry cell weight, yield, and FTIR spectrum of PHB were observed.  The results showed that molasses could be used to grow Burkholderia sp. B73 and the highest PHB production was obtained when a 20:1 C/N ratio of molasses was applied in the fermentation medium. In addition, when the initial pH was adjusted to 7.0, the highest PHB yield was also produced. More importantly, the use of molasses as a carbon source improved the PHB yield by nearly 2-fold compared with our previous report using a synthetic Ramsay’s minimal medium. In conclusion, the experiment results showed that molasses could be used as a low-cost carbon source for PHB production by Burkholderia sp. B73 bacteria.
Optimization on Na and Ca bentonite activation using response surface method for increasing selectivity of stevioside in stevia extract
Authors: SARASWATI Ayu Rahayu , NOOR Erliza , SUNARTI Titi Candra
Published: November 2021

The demand for stevia extract consumption as an alternative sweetener that contains stevioside with zero-calorie is increasing. However, dark color and high tannin content from stevia leaf extract causes a disturbing aftertaste and reduces interest in consumption. Therefore, the purification process is a mandatory step to be done. Several studies on purification methods show the best approach by adsorption using bentonite. However, natural bentonite has limited adsorption capacity and low selectivity. An activation with acid and high temperature is expected to increase the adsorption capacity of color and its selectivity on maintaining the stevioside at the extract. This study aimed to obtain the optimum acid concentration and temperature for the activation using the Response Surface Method (RSM) experimental design and its application to the purification of stevia leaf extract. Based on the parameter of methylene blue number, the most optimum concentration of H2SO4 used for activation was 0.17 N for both natural bentonite. The heating temperature was 358°C for Na-bentonite and 481°C for Ca bentonite. The maximum adsorption capacities of activated Na and Ca-bentonite were increased from 15.65 and 38.23 mg g-1 to 197.72 and 169.52 mg g-1, respectively. The best adsorbent used for purification is Ca-activated, which increased extract clarification up to 81.37% at 655 nm and 86.64% at 410 nm compared to natural Ca bentonite. It also reduced tannin up to 97.46% and was more selective to recover 50.64% stevia content in the solution, which was higher than other previously reported studies.

Purpose. The aim of the work is to study relationships between the parameters of the light volume scattering functions based on the data of their measurements in the Mediterranean Sea surface waters. Methods and Results. The data of measurements of the light volume scattering functions in the water samples taken in a few regions of the southern Mediterranean Sea, namely from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Levant Sea, as well as in the central part of the Aegean Sea and near the Dardanelles Strait (May, 1998) were used. The following parameters of the volume scattering functions were calculated: total scattering coefficient, and asymmetry and variation coefficients. The maximum and minimum values of the scattering coefficient were 0.21 and 0.09 m–1, respectively; and those for the asymmetry coefficient – 77.8 and 33.9. The variation coefficient of the angle scattering coefficients changed within 35–79%, its maximum and minimum values fell on the angles 7.5° and 162.5°, respectively. Obtained were the relations between the variation coefficient and the scattering angle, the asymmetry coefficient and the scattering coefficient, and the angle scattering coefficients and the total scattering coefficient. All of them possess high (more than 0.9) correlation coefficients. The coefficient value (51.7%) at the angle 2° does not correspond to general relation of the variation coefficient to the scattering angle. This fact is explained by different contributions of coarse and fine suspended matter to the light volume scattering function. At the angle 2°, the main contribution is made by a coarse (organic) suspended matter, whereas at the angles exceeding 7.5° – by a fine (mineral) suspension. Conclusions. The values of the variation coefficient of the angle scattering coefficient at the angles equal to 2° and exceeding 7.5° demonstrate variability of the coarse and fine suspended matter in the Mediterranean Sea, respectively. The equation for the relation between the asymmetry coefficient of the light volume scattering functions and the total scattering coefficient obtained for the Mediterranean Sea waters is close to the analogous one obtained for the Atlantic Ocean tropical waters. The angle 3.5° is optimal for determining the total scattering coefficient using the angle scattering coefficient for the Mediterranean Sea functions.

Objectives: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(VV-ECMO) is increasingly being used in acutely deteriorating patients
with end-stage lung disease as a bridge to transplantation (BTT). It can
allow critically ill recipients to remain eligible for lung transplant
(LTx) while reducing pretransplant deconditioning. We analyzed early and
mid-term postoperative outcomes of patients on VV-ECMO as a BTT and the
impact of preoperative VV-ECMO on posttransplant survival outcomes.
Methods: All consecutive LTx performed at our institution
between January 2012 and December 2018 were analyzed. After matching,
BTT patients were compared with non-bridged LTx recipients.
Results: Out of 297 transplanted patients, 21 (7.1%) were
placed on VV-ECMO as a BTT. After matching, we observed a similar 30-day
mortality between BTT and non-BTT patients (4.6% vs. 6.6%,
p=0.083) despite a higher incidence of early postoperative
complications (need for ECMO, delayed chest closure, acute kidney
injury). Furthermore, preoperative VV-ECMO did not appear associated
with 30-day or 1-year mortality in both frequentist and Bayesian
analysis (OR 0.35, 95%CI 0.03-3.49, p=0.369; OR 0.27, 95%CrI
0.01-3.82, P=84.7%, respectively). In sensitivity analysis, both
subgroups were similar in respect to 30-day (7.8% vs. 6.5%,
p=0.048) and 1-year mortality (12.5% vs. 18%, p=0.154).
Conclusions: Patients with acute refractory respiratory failure
while waiting for LTx represent a high-risk cohort of patients. We
observed that these patients can be successfully bridged to LTx with
VV-ECMO with post-transplant mortality comparable to non-BTT patients.

A woman complaining of dyspnea and chest pain since childhood, was
referred to our hospital with an initial diagnosis of biventricular
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Multimodality imaging evaluation revealed
massive right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and severe RV outflow tract
obstruction, with a final diagnosis of double chambered RV associated
with small ventricular septal defect with right-to-left shunt and right
partial anomalous pulmonary vein return. This represents an uncommon
combination of congenital abnormalities, extremely rarely diagnosed in
adulthood.

Thermal devices with porous structures, intended for the combustion chambers of gas turbine units, as well as for cutting and boring of the turbine housings of electric power plants have been developed and studied. Photographs of combustion chambers and nozzles, studied in terms of their geometry and thickening of the nozzle walls, excess oxidant (0.3-0.8) and the operating conditions until the limit state of the metal is reached (1 ? 106 W/m?) have been presented. The optimal geometry of the chambers and nozzles, as well as the type of porous structure have been determined. Coolant consumption has been reduced dozens of times, which has environmental significance. The appraisal of the structures studied showed the advantages to the flow cooling system. An analytical model of the heat exchange crisis is proposed. The system of differential equations for 1-D flow of one-phase liquid is solved. A physical picture of the heat exchange process is presented. In the equation of motion, the coefficient which determines the viscosity in the general pressure gradient is introduced. The actual velocity of the fluid is accounted for by the coefficient of moisture content in the porous structure.

Authors: Harmathy Norbert
Published: November 2021

Contemporary commercial building?s demonstrate performance from a sustainability and environmental perspective. Usually, an appropriate energy performance is achieved using efficient mechanical systems, however, the operation method with smart control is significant in the overall energy consumption. The research follows a two-year design and construction process of a commercial building where the integration of smart technology was a mandatory requirement by the owner, alongside with the prerequisites of the LEED? green building certification. The goal was to design, build and optimize the performance of the new Innovation Campus commercial office building complex using smart building solutions. The research was performed with energy modelling and dynamic simulation until completion of the building, where the design and investment decisions were constantly evaluated. The new optimized building?s performance demonstrated 42% of annual energy reduction and 34% of cost reduction according to the ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G baseline Benchmark building.

Cooling towers are important components within re-circulating cooling water systems. Due to a shortage of freshwater resources, seawater cooling towers are widely used both in manufacturing and everyday life. This paper researches the mechanical draft counterflow wet seawater cooling tower, and establishes and verifies a detailed thermal performance calculation model. Referring to the Second law of thermodynamics, the heat and mass transfer performance and exergy performance of the seawater cooling tower were studied. The effects of salinity, inlet air speed, and air wet-bulb temperature on the cooling efficiency, thermal efficiency, and exergy efficiency were analyzed. The results show that compared to the air wet-bulb temperature, changes in air speed have more influence on cooling and thermal efficiency under the study conditions. Moreover, the air wet-bulb temperature is the significant parameter affecting exergy efficiency. With an increase in salinity, the cooling, thermal, and exergy efficiency are about 2.40-8.25%, 1.06-3.09%, and 2.47-7.73% lower than that of freshwater, respectively, within an air speed of 3.1-3.6 m/s. With an increase in salinity, the cooling, thermal, and exergy efficiency are about 2.28-8.47%, 1.03-3.37%, and 2.44-7.99% lower than that of freshwater, respectively, within an air wet-bulb temperature of 25-27?. Through the exergy analysis of the seawater cooling tower, it is obvious that the heat and mass transfer performance and exergy performance can be improved by selecting the optimum operating conditions and appropriate packing specifications.

study of the injection conditions effect on the structure of the H2-Air
diffusion flame. The aim is to reproduce a practical case of non-polluting
combustion and resulting in very high temperatures. The configuration is
composed of two axisymmetric coaxial jets, as can be found in the diffusion
burners. A presumed probability density function (PDF) approach is used to
describe the chemistry-turbulence interaction. K-epsilon model of turbulence
is used. Particular attention is given to phenomena anchoring or blowout of
