<title>Two-dimensional and dynamic (2DD) method of visualization of the flow characteristics in a convection boundary layer using infrared ther…

2000

The paper presents the 2D and dynamic (2DD) method of using infrared (IR) thermography for the visualization of the cooling efficiency of a heated wall, as this method was applied in an experimental investigation. The 2DD method allows the outer surface temperature measured by the IR thermography device to be worked out relative to the bulk coolant-fluid temperature. In this way the 2DD method makes visible the qualitative and quantitative flow characteristics within the thin contact layers at the inner surface of the wall. This flow characteristics, and more specifically the pattern of stream lines (for the detection of dead zones) and the distribution of the temperature differences betwee…

Implementing Digital Government in the Finnish Parliament

2005

The Finnish Parliament has been active in utilizing information and communication technologies in the parliamentary work as well as in communicating with citizens and other organizations. As common in public sectors, work, knowledge management, and communication in the environment is document-centric. A strategic issue in implementing digital government has been SGML/XML standardization. The Finnish Parliament has been a pioneer in the adoption of SGML/XML technologies. The chapter reports experiences from the standardization efforts. The implications of the standardization will be examined from the viewpoints of documents, information technology, work with documents, the Finnish Parliament…

The Territorial Organization of Public Tourism Statistics in Spain: A Problem of Date Generation and Use in Geomarketing

2021

The changes produced in the last decade in tourism have generated new demands for statistical information that is comparable over time and space, on a microdata scale and focused on knowledge of tourist behaviour. However, the decentralization of the production of tourism statistics in Spain, derived from the division of powers between the Spanish state and the autonomous communities, has produced the emergence of various and multiple alternative entities for the generation and transfer of tourism data. This fragmentation produces a high dysfunctionality and inefficiency, due to, among other circumstances, a high heterogeneity and duplication of data, a heterogeneity of methodology and type…

Latvijas teritorijā sastopamās Q-drudža ierosinātājas baktērijas Coxiella burnetii genotipu noteikšana slaucamo govju saimniecībās

2020

Coxiella burnetii ir obligāta intracelulāra Coxiellaceae dzimtas baktērija, kas spēj izraisīt Q drudža slimību. Izplatīta visā pasaulē, iekļauta obligāti ziņojamo slimību sarakstā 25 Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstīs. Darba mērķis ir noteikt Latvijas teritorijā sastopamās Q-drudža ierosinātājas baktērijas Coxiella burnetii genotipus un to izplatību slaucamo govju saimniecībās. Maģistra darbs izstrādāts projekta “Zoonozes Q-drudža ietekme uz slaucamo govju reprodukciju un risinājumi slimības sastopamības samazināšanai un dzīvnieku ilgtspējīgai izmantošanai” ietvaros, Pārtikas drošības, dzīvnieku veselības un vides zinātniskajā institūtā “BIOR”. Darba ietvaros veikts visaptverošs projektā iegūt…

This article examines Nicholas J. Spykman’s scholarship beyond geopolitics and International Relations (IR). Because his works have mainly been studied through these prisms, I argue that we have ov...

On the importance of the prosodic component in the expression of linguistic im/politeness

2014

This paper outlines the important relationship between prosody and im/politeness and presents a brief overview of what has been done in this field. Sections 2, 3 and 4 present several theoretical concepts which are especially relevant for understanding im/politeness in concrete frameworks (mainly in conversation). Section 5 points out the necessity of studying a pragmatic phenomenon like im/politeness with its prosodic expression. Finally, section 6 discusses some studies in this field on different languages, with a special focus on prosodic values like the F0 (pitch/fundamental frequency), intonation patterns, duration and speech rate. Keywords: F0, duration, speech rate, im/politeness, co…

“This England”: Re-Visiting Shakespearean Landscapes and Mediascapes in John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010)

2017

The paper will offer a reading of John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010), a 90-minute experimental feature film that has been defined as “one of the most vital and original artistic responses to the subject of immigration that British cinema has ever produced” (Mitchell). It will focus on the multifarious ways in which the film makes the “canonical” literary material that it incorporates, including Shakespeare, interact with rarely seen archival material from the BBC regarding the experience of Caribbean and South Asian immigrants in 1950s and 1960s Britain. It will argue that through this interaction the familiarity of Western “canonical” literature re-presents itself as an uncanny landscap…

Synchrotron Radiation-Based Micro-XANES and Micro-XRF Study of Unsuccessfully Produced Egyptian Blue from the Late Hellenistic Production Site of Kos…

2021

International audience; This paper examines the production technology of Egyptian blue, an ancient artificial pigment, through the investigation of an unsuccessfully produced pellet derived from the Hellenistic production site of Kos (Dodecanese, Greece). This heterogeneous material was investigated by a combination of laboratory and synchrotron radiation-based (SR) techniques: scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive Xray spectrometry, micro-Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution SR micro-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and SR micro-X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (XANES), at the ID21 beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Principal comp…
