Geomechanical simulation of the evolution of a geological structure can play an important role in predicting open fracture development for all stages in that structure's development. In this work, three such geomechanical simulations are used to predict the evolving stress and strain fields, including dilational and compactional changes in the rock fabric in developing fault and fold systems. Thei
The economic history of colonial Bechuanaland has generally been under researched. In this article we aim at redeeming this situation by constructing real wage series for various occupations 1900-1960 using records from the colonial archives. We calculate nominal wages, subsistence consumption baskets and real wages. Our mapping means that we fill an existing knowledge gap. Throughout the text we
In an increasingly competitive environment, technical innovation in products and processes is by a vast number of manufacturing companies regarded as one of the most powerful enablers to differentiate from competitors and achieve competitive advantage. Accordingly, some manufacturing companies spend significant amounts of investments in innovation projects. In this paper, we examine the relationsh
I många klassrum står läraren och ett fåtal studenter för i stort sett all kommunikation medan de flesta är passiva åhörare. Lärare har länge sökt efter verktyg och metoder för att öka studenternas delaktighet och skapa en interaktiv lärandemiljö. Ett beprövat, men i Sverige ännu ganska ovanligt, verktyg är att använda sig av mentometersystem. Ett mentometersystem består av trådlösa mentometerdoso
This chapter presents a brief review of studies on swirling and non-swirling impinging jets. Also, a numerical investigation of heat transfer from impinging swirling jets is described. Various turbulence models are used. Comparison with experimental data is provided. Generally, the V2f model was found to perform better than other models, but for small nozzle-to-plate distances, it was hard to main
In neuroscience a number of new techniques have been developed by means of which it has become possible to study the activity of the living human brain. By means of these techniques we are beginning to understand the neurophysiology behind environmental attitudes and preferences. In addition to an introduction to cognitive neuroscience, this invited symposium contains a number of presentations, wh
High-level modeling languages are receiving increased industrial and academic interest within several domains, such as chemical engineering, thermo-fluid systems and automotive systems. One such modeling language is Modelica. Modelica is an open language, specifically targeted at multi-domain modeling and model re-use. Key features of Modelica include object oriented modeling, declarative equation
The analysis of evaluation in text poses significant methodological challenges, which mainly arise from the fact that: a) evaluative meanings can be expressed through an open-ended range of lexico-grammatical resources; b) they can span multiple words; c) context and co-text play a key role in determining the evaluative meaning of words or phrases; d) the interpretation of evaluation in text depen
