Scientific summary: Ground settlement due to groundwater drainage during construction is important to be considered since ground settlement may cause severe building damages. The calculation of ground settlement contained several parameters with different magnitude of uncertainties. Thus a risk evaluation of ground settlement is necessary. The aim of this thesis was first to build a soil strata mo
Regulations to promote the application of renewable energy in the electricity sector are crucial to achieve the government’s target of increasing the share of renewable energy to 10 TWh within 10 years. Feed-In tariffs provides the highest certainty to accomplish a significant growth of renewable energy since it provide high certainty to investors and are easy to implement. For the design of a Fee
The present study numerically investigates the second law analysis of turbulent flow in novel outward helical corrugated tubes by using a Reynolds Stress Model (RSM). A case of a transverse corrugated tube and five cases of helical corrugated tubes with different height-to-diameter ratios and pitch-to-diameter ratios are examined with Reynolds number ranging from 3800 to 43,800 at a constant wall
The entropy generation analysis of fully-developed turbulent heat transfer flow in inward helically corrugated tubes was numerically performed by using a Reynolds stress model. The simulations were conducted for a smooth tube and five cases of corrugated tubes with Reynolds number (Re) ranging from 10,020 to 40,060 at a constant wall temperature condition. The effects of corrugation pitch and heig
Control of electric fields over large areas is crucial for the accurate delivery and manipulation of biologically important molecules in microfluidic systems. In this paper we present a novel method for generating tunable uniform electric fields over large microfluidic arrays in two dimensions, and its application to a microfabricated device that separates genomic DNA. The device fractionates larg
Mitochondrial uptake of calcium in excitotoxicity is associated with subsequent increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and delayed cellular calcium deregulation in ischemic and neurodegenerative insults. The mechanisms linking mitochondrial calcium uptake and ROS production remain unknown but activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) may be one such mechanism. In
A Transverse Resonance Island Bucket optics has a betatron tune close to a resonance, such that the particle motion is governed by non-linear terms in the equation of motion. This results in additional stable fixed points in transverse phase-space, which can be populated with a single RF-bunch filling pattern. Thus, these optics have the potential of providing pseudo single-bunch operation, i.e. a
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is an ubiquitous tool of great interest in many fields of research from imaging to ultrafast spectroscopy [1]. In its most common implementation, an intense (≈ 1014 W/cm2) infrared (IR) pulse is focused on a noble gas target yielding a train of attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral region. By adopting proper strategies and target geometrie
So far, the Standard Model (SM) has been very successful in describing non-gravitational interactions of fundamental particles. However, many of its theoretical and experimental shortcomings remain unresolved. In collider searches, Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) signatures are expected to manifest themselves as localised excesses of events in the invariant mass lineshape of their decay products.
Purpose: : The purpose of the study is to understand what is the meaning of mindful consumption for Generation Y consumers. There exist theoretical studies on mindful consumption but there is limited empirical research on mindful consumption and its meaning. Method: This is a qualitative study with a social constructionist and relativist approach as meaning is socially constructed and there is no
