Effect of baffle cut and baffle spacing on pressure drop in shell and tube heat exchanger with U tubes
Authors: Martic Igor , Maslarevic Aleksandar , Milovanovic Nikola , Markovic Miloš 
Published: September 2020

A general procedure for heat exchanger design has been presented in the Heat Exchanger Design Handbook (HEDH) [1], but no precise criterion for determining baffle cut nor baffle spacing has been offered, and the emphasis is only on heat exchanger’s permissible range of application. In this paper, an optimization program has been used to calculate pressure drop, fluid velocity, heat power, overall heat transfer coefficient and middle temperature difference for various baffle cut and baffle spacing for the same type of heat exchanger, using the procedure in HEDH. This could be considered as complementary to the HEDH recommendations and can be used by designers and, generally, engineers for determining the right baffle cut and baffle spacing for their specific cases.

Authors: Alzarzouri Fadi , Fawaz Deri  
Published: September 2020

Poly lactic acid (PLA) and High density polyethylene (HDPE) have been blended in a Brabender plastograph in the molten state. The melt die swell of the blends has been studied by using a capillary rheometer. Effects of the capillary dimensions, shear stress, shear rate, temperature and blending ratio on die swell of PLA/HDPE blend melts were investigated. The results showed that die swell ratio decreased with increasing of capillary length and temperature while it increased with increasing of shear stress, shear rate and capillary diameter. It was also found that the plots of die swell versus blending ratio go through a maximum for blending ratio PLA/HDPE (60/40).

The utilisation of pozzolanic materials as the replacement to conventional cement material have the potentiality to mitigate the pollution caused by the émission of carbon based green house gases which are a main source for global warming problem. For every production of 1 ton of cement it was approximated that the emission of carbon based green house gases are about 1 ton. Keeping this in view, a new material called Geopolymer which was first coined by Davidovits has gained a lot of interest by the researchers. In this study, different molarity variations of NaOH in the order of 4M, 6M, 8M, 10M, 12M and 14M and also the blending of mineral admixtures like Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag with percentages (50%+50%) and the mechanical properties of normal M30 and high strength grade M70 binary blended Geopolymer concrete were studied after 28 days of ambient curing and were reported. The test results revealed that the effect of molar concentration of NaOH at 12 M is effective and the optimum replacement of mineral composition of source materials is (50%+50%) fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag.

Published: September 2020

It has often been said that the style of decision making is reflective of leadership style. Numerous studies in the field of management and leadership show that decision making style is a key factor contributing to the success of managers and organizational performance. In Kosovo, decision-making styles are conditioned by many factors. It should be noted that the most important factor in adequately matching the characteristics and knowledge of workers and the specifics required at work lies in the high number of unemployment. This often causes the workforce to perform work for which there is no professional training in the field. Also, from the research we found that there is a difference in the decision making style and the adaptation of the characteristics of work and employees between sectors. In general, the public sector tends to have more security for employees in the workplace, which drives them to look for other jobs, but the private sector shows more willingness to take risks. The difference also lies in the nature and activity of the work between the sectors studied. Often there are different approaches of employees and leaders between the banking sector or design organizations. Our study, which is based on empirical data, will present facts on decision-making styles, and factors that influence the determination or adaptation / non-adaptation of employees to the jobs in the sectors studied.

Betathalassemic patients demonstrate an increased rate of extracardiac vascular complications, but very low prevalence for coronary artery disease. Computed tomography (CT) achieves excellent tissue characterization, with high spatial resolution and has developed as a gold standard for noninvasive angiography and calcium score assessment. Methods. We examined 7 patients with major beta-thalassemia and 7 patients who had an indication for cardiac CT for resting ECG changes, without symptoms of angina pectoris. We investigated the coronary atherosclerosis by assessing the coronary artery calcium (CAC) and arterial stifness. Usual tests and echocardiography measurement were performed. Cardiac computed tomography determined left ventricular mass, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), coronary calcium score and coronary anatomy. An analysis of myocardial density was also performed. Artery stiffness was assessed by the cardio ankle vascular index (CAVI). Results. Arterial stiffness index in betathallasemic group was higher than control group, R-CAVI index was 6.21± 0.49 vs 5.65±0.37 and L-CAVI index was 6.21± 0.38 vs 5.71±0.31. The assessment of systolic function by echocardiography and cardiac CT examination in the 2 groups, shows that the LVEF in the betathallasemic group was significantly lower than in the control group, which means that some patients already had cardiomyopathy. LV myocardial mass was significantly higher in the group with beta-thalassemia, which is explained by the appearance of myocardial remodeling. The calcium score in patients with major beta-thalassemia was 0 and 8,5± 5,9 in the control group. Only 3 patients (42,8%) in the control group had a calcium score > 10U. No atherosclerotic lesions were observed in patients with major beta-thalassemia, whereas the control group showed mild coronary atherosclerotic lesions. If myocardial density can be determined, calcium or iron deposits can be detected in the myocardium. In patients with beta-thalassemia, the density of the myocardium was higher, both in the left ventricle (49.29 8.87±HU) and in the septum (56.71± 8.1 HU). Calculation of Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed a good association between CT and echocardiography, reproducibility of CT was significantly higher on an intra-observer level for LVEF and LV Mass. Conclusions: Patients with β–thalassemia major have a similar calcium score compared to control subjects, but they have an increase in arterial stiffness. However, zero frequencie of coronary heart disease, denotes coronary protection mechanisms in thalassemia, so future research should focus on the anti-atherogenic potential of blood lipids at these patients. The ability of cardiac tomography to detect calcifications and changes in myocardial density should be valued, as it can be a good tool for establishing the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy by iron loading.
Protecting Academic Freedom or Managing Reputation? An Evaluation of University Social Media Policies
Authors: Kwestel Melanie , Milano Elizabeth Fitzpatrick 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
University social media policies appear to favor institutional reputation over the tenets of academic freedom upon which research and teaching are based. A content analysis of social media policies of 82 doctoral-granting research universities found that policies used language and concepts that restrain online faculty speech. Two-thirds of policies are overseen by marketing departments rather than by committees that include faculty members as recommended by the American Association of University Professors. Contradictory boundary logic presented double binds for faculty who were enjoined to be brand ambassadors, creating tension for them and creating paradoxes for institutions whose social media policies contradict their commitment to freedom of research and teaching.
Honoring the Outermost: Saturn in Picatrix, Marsilio Ficino, and Renaissance Cosmology
Authors: Attrell Dan 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT
This article explores how the planet Saturn was conceptualized in the premodern cosmology that influenced the Florentine Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499), particularly in the Latin translations of Arabic astrological works from which he drew inspiration in the production of his medical guide and mirror for princes, the De vita libri tres (1489). It puts special attention on the secret role of the astro-magical treatise Picatrix in Ficino's intellectual development and on some of the astrological correspondences or significations between Saturn and the concepts over which that planet was believed to hold dominion (e.g., melancholy, scholarship, and others). The article traces out some of the changes in the perceptions of Saturn, from his ambivalent role as a chthonic Roman divinity and the ruler of an agricultural golden age to a largely malefic force of nature in Late Antiquity up to Abū Maʿšar, and returning again to an ambivalent role as a volitional spiritual entity and a ruler of duality and extremes in the minds of astrologers from al-Qurṭubī (d. 964) to Ficino, who were also influenced by pseudo-Aristotelian, Aristotelian, Hermetic, and other pagan sources in constructing their knowledge of astral magic.
