A probabilistic long‐term framework for site‐specific erosion analysis of wind turbine blades: A case study of 31 Dutch sites
2021
Abstract Rain‐induced leading‐edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is associated with high repair and maintenance costs. The effects of LEE can be triggered in less than 1 to 2 years for some wind turbine sites, whereas it may take several years for others. In addition, the growth of erosion may also differ for different blades and turbines operating at the same site. Hence, LEE is a site‐ and turbine‐specific problem. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic long‐term framework for assessing site‐specific lifetime of a WTB coating system. Case studies are presented for 1.5 and 10 MW wind turbines, where geographic bubble charts for the leading‐edge lifetime and number of repai…
Influence of PDA Coating on the Structural, Optical and Surface Properties of ZnO Nanostructures
2020
Polydopamine (PDA) is a new biocompatible material, which has prospects in biomedical and sensor applications. Due to functional groups, it can host wide range of biomolecules. ZnO nanostructures are well known templates for optical sensors and biosensors. The combination of ZnO and PDA results in a change of optical properties of ZnO&ndash
On the second-order regularity of solutions to the parabolic p-Laplace equation
2022
AbstractIn this paper, we study the second-order Sobolev regularity of solutions to the parabolic p-Laplace equation. For any p-parabolic function u, we show that $$D(\left| Du\right| ^{\frac{p-2+s}{2}}Du)$$ D ( D u p - 2 + s 2 D u ) exists as a function and belongs to $$L^{2}_{\text {loc}}$$ L loc 2 with $$s>-1$$ s > - 1 and $$1<p<\infty $$ 1 < p < ∞ . The range of s is sharp.
Diferenciación de poblaciones de rotíferos y efectos de la reproducción interpoblacional
2015
El desarrollo de la ecología molecular que ha tenido lugar durante las últimas décadas ha provocado el cuestionamiento de las ideas tradicionalmente aceptadas acerca de la dinámica de la variación intraespecífica para los microinvertebrados acuáticos. En concreto, la diferenciación genética entre poblaciones de una misma especie, incluso entre aquéllas bastante cercanas, ha resultado ser mucho mayor de lo esperado. Este aspecto resulta paradójico teniendo en cuenta el alto potencial migratorio de estos organismos, fundamentalmente mediante dispersión pasiva entre poblaciones discretas a través de huevos diapáusicos, i.e., huevos en los que el desarrollo embrionario se halla interrumpido, y …

Rational Herding in Reward-Based Crowdfunding: An MTurk Experiment.
2020
Crowdfunding is gaining popularity as a way of financing social sustainable initiatives. We performed a controlled economic experiment in MTurk by simulating a crowdfunding platform and developed a theoretical model that rationalizes herding behavior. The experiment was designed to test and quantify the causal effects of revealing specific information to prospective backers: (i) the number of early contributors already financing the project and (ii) positive opinions of other backers versus those of experts. The results show that early contributions to the campaign and positive opinions of peers act as a reinforcing signal to potential backers and affect backers&rsquo
Following the money? : Performance based funding and the changing publication patterns of Finnish academics
2020
Research on how performance-based funding influences the behaviour and performance of academics is limited in Europe. In this study, we investigate the changing publication patterns among Finnish academics associated with the introduction of awarding funding for publications within specific journals in the national performance-based funding model. We find evidence, particularly in the social sciences, and to a lesser extent humanities, that Finnish academics increasingly target international (English-language) publication outlets and lower-tiered journals. We conclude discussing the possible long-term implications of the current funding formula for both Finnish academia and society. peerRev…
La persistance de la performance des fonds de pension individuels britanniques : une étude empirique sur des fonds investis en actions et des fonds o…
2003
Dans ce présent cahier de recherche, nous nous proposons d’étudier la stabilité des performances de certains fonds de retraite anglais à cotisations définies : les fonds de pension individuels (Personal Pension Scheme). Il s’agit de fonds – pratiquant une gestion active - investissant principalement dans les actions britanniques et de fonds détenant majoritairement des obligations anglaises durant la période novembre 1990 – novembre 2000. Les données sur les fonds de pension individuels proviennent de la base de données UK PENSION de Standard & Poor’s Fund Services et sont de fréquence mensuelle. Nous utilisons des tests paramétriques de l’existence de la persistance, plusieurs mesures de p…
Personu, kurām ir tiesības uz aizstāvību, liecības kriminālprocesā
2020
Bakalaura darba tēma “Personu, kurām ir tiesības uz aizstāvību, liecības kriminālprocesā” sniedz vispārīgu ieskatu personu, kurām ir tiesības uz aizstāvību procesuālo statusu un šo personu sniegto liecību izpratnē. Darbā tiek apskatīta personu, kurām ir tiesības uz aizstāvību liecību iegūšanas veidi un šo personu kriminālprocesuālās tiesības attiecībā uz liecību sniegšanu kriminālprocesa gaitā. Darba ietvarā ir apskatīti un analizēti gaidāmie fundamentālie grozījumi attiecībā uz personām, kurām ir tiesības uz aizstāvību liecību saturu, nosakot, ka personām, kurām ir tiesības uz aizstāvību, būs jāsniedz patiesas liecības, ja tās izmantos savas tiesības liecināt.
