Navier-Stokes equations on an exterior circular domain: construction of the solution and the zero viscosity limit

1997

Abstract In this Note, we consider the limit of Navier-Stokes equations on a circular domain. By an explicit construction of the solution, it is proved that, when viscosity goes to zero, solution converges to the Euler solution outside the boundary layer and to the Prandtl solution inside the boundary layer.

Metadata-Oriented Language Model in Translingual Retrieval of Digital Data

2015

Translingual retrieval relies on processing a source language to retrieve digital document content in a target language. From the perspective of successful browsing digital catalogues, probability of retrieving the full text document in a language other than the query language is close to zero owning to the fact that it is not only the library collection, but especially a problem of matching the index terms with the query keywords which are assumed to be their translation equivalents. In addition, hardly any digital library system is incorporated with a translation component. As a result, such a matching is rather coincidental. Our approach to the translingual document retrieval problem is …

Implementation of active infrared NDT techniques using long square heating pulses

2012

The present work describes the implementation of active IR Thermography techniques for the NDT of thick polymer and glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GRP) composite panels. A low cost Thermal NDT set-up is proposed, comprising a single-detector IR camera with low thermal resolution and low frame rate, and common low-power halogen lamps as external heat source devices. The use of halogen lamps in particular requires several seconds of switch-on time in order to deliver meaningful and effective heat quantities. The influence of such long heat deposition intervals is investigated on the possibility to implement Transient Thermography and Lock-In Thermography techniques. Regarding the Transient T…

PAUT inspection of complex shaped composite materials through 6 DOFs robotic manipulators

2015

The requirement to increase inspection speeds for the non-destructive testing (NDT) of composite aerospace parts is common to many manufacturers. The prevalence of complex curved surfaces in the industry provides significant motivation for the use of six-axis robots for the deployment of NDT probes in these inspections. The IntACom project, developed by TWI Technology Centre (Wales) and supported by a number of major aerospace partners and the Welsh government, has produced a prototype robotic NDT system. The prototype system is capable of inspecting complex-geometry composite components with great time savings. Two six-axis robotic arms deploy end effectors carrying phased array ultrasonic…

Gabriele Buccola-Emil Kraepelin. Carteggio 1881-1885

2012

Il carteggio Buccola-Kraepelin, composto da 41 missive -23 inviate da Emil Kraepelin a Gabriele Buccola e 18 inviate da Buccola a Kraepelin -, consente di ricostruire l'intento legame epistolare intercorso tra i due giovani studiosi negli anni compresi tra il 1881 e il 1885. Risulta evidente l'importanza di tale carteggio inedito che permette non soltanto un'analisi critica della nascita della psicologia come scienza, ma offre al contempo una testimonianza diretta dell'entusiasmo vivo e tenace dei due studiosi verso la nascente disciplina, nonchè una conoscenza dei principali nuclei di ricerca sviluppati all'interno del laboratorio di Wundt a Lipsia, dove Kraepelin si trasferisce nei primi …

THEORETICAL CONCEPT OF LEARNING PROCESS IN FOLK HIGH SCHOOL

2015

<p>Folk high schools during last 160 years have been known for being unique nonformal education institutions with their own philosophical conception established by Danish philosopher N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872). Founded as national consciousness and Danish culture supportive institutions, folk high schools in short time became centres of democracy. The main ideas of these conception – „living word”, „enlightenment”, „enliving”, „school for life”, „personal development” – have made these institutions as providers of personal enlightenment, development and self-realization, where students enlived their transformations through dimensions of body, feelings and mind.</p>

Project report : Methodology for terminology harmonisation

2020

A common understanding of language and concepts used is essential for any meaningful communication. For large rescue operations effective communication is crucial to save lives. Such operations can require cooperation among first responders from several sectors with a different understanding of terms and concepts. Redningshåndboka (the National Rescue handbook) provides a common glossary for use across all sectors for their communications in training and practice. However, today each sector maintains their own glossaries, acronyms and jargon, causing potential misunderstandings in joint operations. In this report we propose a way to apply the Norwegian Public Management Standard from the No…
