Improving the Downwind Sail Design Process by Means of a Novel FSI Approach
2021
The process of designing a sail can be a challenging task because of the difficulties in predicting the real aerodynamic performance. This is especially true in the case of downwind sails, where the evaluation of the real shapes and aerodynamic forces can be very complex because of turbulent and detached flows and the high-deformable behavior of structures. Of course, numerical methods are very useful and reliable tools to investigate sail performances, and their use, also as a result of the exponential growth of computational resources at a very low cost, is spreading more and more, even in not highly competitive fields. This paper presents a new methodology to support sail designers in ev…
Tehnoloģijās balstītas mācību metodes salīdzinājumā ar tradicionālajām mācību metodēm
2018
Mūsdienu mācību metodes arvien vairāk atšķiras no tām klasiskajām metodēm, ko izmantoja agrāk. Viens no galvenajiem cēloņiem, kāpēc rodas jaunas mācību metodes, ir nepārtrauktā informācijas tehnoloģiju attīstība, kuru nozīme, nenoliedzami, pieaug arvien vairāk ne tikai skolās, bet arī mūsu ikdienas dzīvēs, radot jaunas iespējas, kā arī jaunus izaicinājumus skolēniem, to vecākiem, kā arī pašiem pedagogiem. Diplomdarba pētījuma mērķis- Izpētīt kā skolēni un skolotāji izmanto ITK piedāvātās iespējas un to attieksmi pret tām, nosakot mācību metožu pielietojamību un skolēnu emocionālo stāvokli nodarbības laikā, atkarībā no mācību metožu izvēles. Diplomdarba uzdevumi- izpētīt teorētisko literatūr…
A post-exercise infrared sauna session improves recovery of neuromuscular performance and muscle soreness after resistance exercise training
2023
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of a single infrared sauna (IRS) session on postexercise recovery of neuromuscular performance, autonomic nervous system function, subjective sleep quality, and muscle soreness. Male basketball players (n = 16) performed two trials consisting of a complex resistance exercise protocol (maximal strength with plyometrics), followed by either 20 min passive recovery (PAS) or IRS (temperature 43±5°C), in a randomized crossover design, with trials separated by one week. Recovery of neuromuscular performance was assessed using 20 m maximal sprint, maximal countermovement-jump (CMJ), and isometric leg press tests, performed 14 hours after exercise. H…
Why Use Interactive Multi-Objective Optimization in Chemical Process Design?
2008
Problems in chemical engineering, like most real-world optimization problems, typically, have several conflicting performance criteria or objectives and they often are computationally demanding, which sets special requirements on the optimization methods used. In this chapter, we point out some shortcomings of some widely used basic methods of multi-objective optimization. As an alternative, we suggest using interactive approaches where the role of a decision maker or a designer is emphasized. Interactive multi-objective optimization has been shown to suit well for chemical process design problems because it takes the preferences of the decision maker into account in an iterative manner tha…
School Staff-centered School Development by Communicative Action: Working Methods for Creating Collective Responsibility - From the Idea to Action
2020
School development is often seen as a concerted (re-)action to educational policies, curriculum development, and change in education laws or regulations, and sometimes, as stakeholders’ reactions to low school performance. Generally, school development incorporates organizational, managerial, and educational activities and measures. This is done to adapt to the new situation to achieve the desired changes and goals initiated by a given curriculum reform. In contrast, this paper focuses on school staff–driven development: It describes how teachers together with paraprofessionals contribute to school-development. Using collective responsibility creating working methods of communication, the e…
Staging and storing data sprint-based research results: a communication design approach
2022
Data sprints are multidisciplinary, time-limited, practice-oriented, and group activities that explore complex issues through data gathering, visualization, and analysis. Data sprints usually conclude with final presentations where participants showcase the research process they followed and the achieved results. Although this activity is now widespread in some research centers, there does not appear to be a data-sprint tailored dissemination format that can support the organization, archive, and online diffusion of results. Starting from the experience of a data sprint on Digital Methods, the paper describes the design process of a digital format which condenses and reinterprets good pract…
Scientific discovery and its role in sports science
2016
Scientific discovery is about a search for the Truth, for the consistent and predictable in how the universe works. Using a particular method of inquiry, the scientific method, and with acknowledgement of the inherently self-correcting nature of science, scientific inquiry moves forward incrementally to ever closer approximations of the Truth. This paper reviews the history of scientific inquiry, the methodology of the scientific method, including the necessity for hypothesis testing and development of the probability that a particular answer is a closer approximation of the Truth than previous answers have been. It also discusses some of the pitfalls of scientific inquiry, and areas in whi…
Dynamical analysis of electron transport in RF cavities and photomultipliers tubes
2021
El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio de la dinámica de haces y corrientes de electrones en cavidades aceleradoras de radiofrecuencia (RF) y en tubos fotomultiplicadores. Por una parte, los haces de electrones presentan una gran importancia histórica tanto en aplicaciones directas (televisiones, hornos de microondas, tratamiento del cáncer), como en la generación de radiación sincrotrón. La última generación de fuentes de rayos X muy brillantes se basa en los láseres de electrones libres (XFEL). No obstante, para producir los haces de electrones que emitirán dichos rayos X como radiación sincrotrón, se necesitan campos eléctricos de gran intensidad lo que produce que, debido a la emisió…

The article presents "The Guidelines for the business valuation of seized and confiscated firms” from the organized crime, by pointing out some criteria to guide the selection of the appropriate valuation method and suggesting the inclusion of a stakeholder perspective in the business valuation studies.
Linee guida per la valutazione di aziende sequestrate e confiscate
2020
Le linee guida mirano ad analizzare le specificità delle aziende sequestrate e confiscate ai fini del processo di stima del valore di tali delicate realtà aziendali, esaltando in particolare come l’applicazione del metodo valutativo costituisca solo una fase del più ampio processo di stima, che deve necessariamente considerare elementi qualitativi, ma anche quantitativi di difficile ponderazione.
