Fuel Dependent Heat Release Differences between Euro Diesel Fuel and RME in a HSDI Diesel Engine

In the degree that costs and demand of crude oil rise, diminish the economical disadvantages for alternative Diesel fuels, resulting in a variety of feasible substitutes. Diesel fuel substitutes have deviating exhaust emissions from conventional fuel. The methyl ester of rapeseed oil (known as RME/Biodiesel) is receiving increasing attention as an alternative fuel for Diesel engines. RME is a non-

The Role of Resources and Capabilities in Value Appropriation

The matter of who appropriates the economic value created by a firm’s resources and capabilities has remained largely unresolved in strategic management. The aim of the paper is to highlight some of the shortcomings of established strategic management theory in explaining value appropriation, outline key examples of value appropriation mechanisms, and empirically illustrate the link between these

Heat gain from thermal radiation through protective clothing with different insulation, reflectivity and vapour permeability

The heat transferred through protective clothing under long wave radiation compared to a reference condition without radiant stress was determined in thermal manikin experiments. The influence of clothing insulation and reflectivity, and the interaction with wind and wet underclothing were considered. Garments with different outer materials and colours and additionally an aluminised reflective sui

Effect of dissipation on the constitutive relations of bi-anisotropic media - the optical response

This paper discusses the restrictions that dissipation forces on the material parameters and responses of bi-anisotropic media. The treatment is a general time domain analysis where six-vector formalism is applied. Energy conditions set limitations on the optical response dyadics and dyadic susceptibility kernels of the material that have to be satisfied regardless the time dependence of the field

Geography in sustainability research – Challenges and possible contributions

Twenty years have passed since the Brundtland report launched the goal of “sustainable development” (SD). During these decades SD has become widely accepted and it is today established as a fundamental goal in most policy contexts at the international level as well in many countries, regions and cities. A growing research community focussing on various aspects of sustainable development has develo
