MODELLING THE LOCAL VARIATION OF AQUIFER PARAMETERS WITH THE HELP OF THE ANALYTIC ELEMENT METHOD

The Analytic Element Method (AEM) for groundwater flow modelling and also its application possibilities were presented in an earlier volume, [2,3]. The present paper focuses on one certain element of it, the so-called inhomogeneity. The inhomogeneity describes the local variation of aquifer parameters, like its thickness, base elevation or permeability. After a short introduction of the method, the mathematical description and application conditions for the different approaches of inhomogeneities are given in details. Finally, some recommendations are given to help in the decision which approach to use

Kutatás és képzés

2010 tavaszán jelent meg a Nyíregyházi Főiskola Pedagógusképző Karának Tudásbázis és pedagógusképzés című sorozatában egy neveléstudományi tanulmányokat tartalmazó kötet Kutatás és képzés címmel. A Brezsnyánszky László és Fenyő Imre által szerkesztett könyv tisztelgés a 70 éves Orosz Gábor előtt, aki két magyarországi felsőoktatási intézmény, neveléstudományi és tanárképzési műhely szakmai és tudományos tevékenységét is irányította, az ott folyó tevékenységre, az oktatók és a hallgatók kutatásaira, írásaira hosszabb időn keresztül jelentős hatást gyakorolt

Defining the Technology Transition Manager within the Acquisition Framework of the Department of Defense

One of the main challenges in new product development is maintaining communication and coordination among the various development and product teams supporting the project. This research proposes the establishment of a technology transition manager who acts on the behalf of the program manager as a “deal broker” to facilitate the transition of technology from one organization to another for further development and integration. Specifically, the researcher sought to answer five research questions addressing the required experience, expertise, organizational alignment, job skills, individual characteristics, roles, and responsibilities of technology transition managers. The researcher also examined differing expectations of transition managers among organizations. The research questions were answered through in-depth interviews with program managers and engineers from the Air Force Research Laboratory and the program offices with experience in technology transition programs. The researcher identified specific expertise, past job experiences, desired skills and personal traits, and defined explicit roles technology managers ought to play in the technology development and transition process. The position of the technology transition manager in the Department of Defense is situational dependent. The relative importance of areas of expertise, skills, roles, and responsibilities defined in this study depends on the stage of technology development and transition

THE APPLICATION OF THE TECHNICAL-ECONOMICAL INDEXES FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE PRIMARY LAND DRAINAGE NETWORK

A set of technical-economical indexes was introduced in an earlier paper of this volume to evaluate the land drainage canal network of state property in Hungary. The catchments of theses canals form areal units, the so-called land drainage systems. This paper introduces the application of the method for the description and comparison of these areal units with the help of case studies. These case studies cover the fields of a national level grading, the sharing of reconstruction costs, the interest rates of multifunction canals as regional problems. A smaller scale grading is also given to determine an inlet restriction policy in case of a recipient with limited capacity

TECHNICAL-ECONOMICAL BACKGROUNDS FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE PRIMARY LAND DRAINAGE NETWORK

There is a dense land drainage canal network of state property in the lowland area of Hungary. Based on the catchment area of these canals, a set of areal units, the so-called land drainage systems are organised. The management of such a network always requires carefully made decisions. This paper introduces a method for the description and comparison of these areal units on a technical-economical basis. The method is based on well founded data giving general information about the area concerned, and provides a clear set of indexes for the evaluation. Though they are never the only parameters to be considered, the method is suitable to support a wide range of decisions on national, regional and local level
