Control of the Transmission Ratio Derivative in Passenger Car Powertrain with CVT

Depth profiling of Pu, 241Am and 137Cs in soils from southern Belarus measured by ICP-MS and alpha- and gamma-spectrometry
2003
The depth distribution of plutonium, americium, and Cs-137 originating front the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) was investigated in several soil profiles in the vicinity from Belarus. The vertical migration of transuranic elements in soils typical of the 30 km relocation area around Chernobyl NPP was studied using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), alpha spectrometry, and gamma spectrometry. Transuranic concentrations in upper soil layers ranged from 6 x 10(-12) g g(-1) to 6 x 10(-10) g g(-1) for plutonium and from 1.8 x 10(-13) g g(-1) to 1.6 x 10(-11) g g(-1) for americium. These concentrations correspond to specific activities of Pu239+240 of…

¿Quién decide qué y cómo? el conflicto en torno a la participación ciudadana en el contexto del desarrollo de la iniciativa urbana: Cuenca-San Antón …
2018
This article describes the main results of an ethnographic study on citizen participation carried out in the context of the development of the Urban Initiative (2007-2015): Cuenca-Barrio de San Antón. Managed by the City Council of Cuenca and financed by the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance at the Government of Spain The results of the research show how in the context of the application of neoliberal policies, citizen participation becomes the trigger for new conflicts between institutions and citizens. In this sense, it is worth noting how, in practice, institutions in their capacity as experts and not willing to dis-empower themselves, …
Effects of different emulsifiers and refining time on rheological and textural characteristics of compound chocolate
2018
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of producing reduced fat dark compound chocolate in the ball mill refiner and using some selected emulsifiers. The effects of selected emulsifiers including lecithin, Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) and citrem in two levels and two refining times on the characteristics such as moisture, particle size, hardness and rheological properties of the samples was examined. Data analysis revealed that the Casson model was appropriate to describe the rheological behavior of the samples containing lecithin and citrem; however, Power law model was appropriate for the samples containing PGPR. The results showed that citrem is the most effe…
Kansalaisverkot ja digitaalinen toimijuus
2006
Digitaalisten kuilujen eli uuden teknologian käyttöön liittyvien eriarvoisuuksien lisäksi on syytä puhua myös ihmisten eriarvoisesta toimijuudesta tietoyhteiskunnassa. Teknologia sinänsä ei tee ihmisistä syrjäytyneitä tai mukana olevia, vaan sen soveltaminen toimijuutta ja osallisuutta edistävässä tarkoituksessa. Voidaan paremminkin puhua osattomuuden kuiluista ja tietoyhteiskunnan syrjäytyneistä, joille informaatioteknologia voisi tuoda selkeää hyötyä yhteiskunnan jäseninä toimimisen sekä oman hyvinvoinnin kannalta, mutta jotka eivät voi tai osaa sitä hyödyntää. peerReviewed
Społeczeństwo obywatelskie w modelu bezpieczeństwa państwa
2016
W artykule wskazano na ważny aspekt budowy potęgi państwa. Przedmiotem zainteresowania autora jest problem modelowania społeczeństwa obywatelskiego. Postawiono tu tezę, że potęga państwa jest odwzorowaniem kondycji społecznej obywateli. Zaproponowano metodę wyznaczania wskaźnika jakości społeczeństwa obywatelskiego. Pokazano sposób obliczenia wskaźnika dla Polski oraz wybranych państw Unii Europejskiej. Całość analizy została oparta na diagramach wykonanych przez CIVICUS - ponadnarodową sieć organizacji pozarządowych, której funkcjonowanie wspiera działalność obywatelską na całym świecie. Wykorzystano również dane dotyczące społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w Polsce zgromadzone w raporcie Stowar…

Smart Micro-Grid Performance using Renewable Energy
2020
The aim of this research is to determine the performance of PV panels, wind turbines, battery storage and power imported from the grid to the system which will ensure a reliable energy supply, as well as the technical feasibility of a smart microgrid system. Indonesia’s renewable energy potential for electricity reaches 443 GW, where solar energy is the largest potential, namely 4.8 KWh m–2 or equivalent to 112 000 GWp, but only 10 MWp has been utilized. The most basic problem in this system, namely, the uncertainty of wind energy and solar energy, one of the most vital factors in the optimal size of a renewable energy-based smart microgrid system is the reliability of the system being buil…
Nonlinear beam self-cleaning in a coupled cavity composite laser based on multimode fiber
2017
International audience; We study a coupled cavity laser configuration where a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip laser is combined with an extended cavity, including a doped multimode fiber. For appropriate coupling levels with the extended cavity, we observed that beam self-cleaning was induced in the multimode fiber thanks to nonlinear modal coupling, leading to a quasi-single mode laser output. In the regime of beam self-cleaning, laser pulse duration was reduced from 525 to 225 ps. We also observed a Q-switched mode-locked operation, where spatial self-cleaning was accompanied by far-detuned nonlinear frequency conversion in the active multimode fiber.
