Modelling the squeeze flow in a deformed rectangular microchannel

Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech.Rheinforce cork composites, previously named elsewhere as CorkSTFluidics [1], are sandwiches consis?ng of two microagglomerated cork pads embedding microfluidic paCerns that are filled with a shear thickening fluid (see Figure 1 (a)), whose mechanical performance under impact loads is determined by the microfluidic paCern and the rheological proper?es of the fluid [2]. From the experimental results it is impossible to decouple the fluid contribu?on from the solid contribu?on to the force?me response of the composite. In this work, we have developed a simple model of the fluid-flow dynamics that it is able to predict the fluid contribu?on in the energy dissipa?on of the Rheinforce cork composites under impact loads. To that end, we model the viscous flow inside a microchannel for a known displacement of the upper lid h(t, x), calcula?ng as a result the needed force to create that movement

Improvements in Pain, Well-being, Arterial Pressure, and Lower Limb Volume Following Andullation Therapy in Healthy and Unhealthy Humans

Our aim was to test the effects of Andullation therapy on pain threshold, pain perception, feeling of well-being, arterial pressure, and leg volume in healthy and unhealthy patients. We used a multidirectional vibration (frequency range: 5–40 Hz; peak-to-peak amplitude: 2–8 mm; acceleration: 0.4–2 m/s 2 ) in an undulatory way through the surface of the body when the patient was in contact with a mattress (“andullation”). The vibes traveled from the heel to the head in a random fashion while the participants (N = 50) were lying on the mattress. We measured the pain threshold using an algometer; pain perception and well-being through a visual analog scale (VAS); arterial pressure with an electronic sphygmomanometer; and leg volume with Kuhnke’s technique. Measurements were made just before the first andullation session and after the fifth andullation session. Every participant received andullation sessions of 30 min a day for 5 consecutive days. The patients’ pain threshold significantly (P <.001) increased by 34.48% and 25.79% in the lumbar and trapezius zones, respectively, after 5 sessions of therapy. The subjective perception of pain decreased by 52.3% and the feeling of well-being increased by 45.1%. The systolic and diastolic pressures significantly (P <.001) decreased by 6.44 and 4.68 mm Hg on average, respectively. Leg volume significantly decreased (P <.01) by 64.39 mL after the fifth andullation session. Despite not including a control group in our study, the andullation intervention showed an improvement in pain, well-being, arterial pressure, and lower limb volume in the studied population.Fundación para la Investigación de la Universidad de Sevilla FIUSHome Health Products HH

Are We There Yet? A Communications Evaluation Guide

Most foundation and nonprofit communicators can speak at length about the work they do and what it's intended to achieve. But when it comes to describing exactly what their efforts are achieving, few can offer specifics.This guide helps foundation and nonprofit communicators learn whether their communications are effective and what is being achieved -- and determine if any course corrections are necessary.Among the reasons stressed for evaluating communication efforts are these:Evaluation improves the effectiveness of communications.Evaluation can help organizations more effectively engage with intended audiences.Situations change - strategies and tactics may need to change as well.Evaluation ensures wise allocation of resources.The guide points out that evaluation need not be limited to large-scale campaigns or major outreach activities, but should also conducted for efforts to raise awareness of an organization or an issue. And once an evaluation is underway, the guide suggests findings be shared with those who may benefit from what is learned, such as team members, the board, colleagues and peers.The guide includes:Background on why evaluation can contribute to good communications.Four case studies of evaluation in action from the Lumina Foundation for Education, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Neimand Collaborative, and the California HealthCare Foundation.A worksheet for creating an evaluation plan

Comunicación y memoria: el fotoperiodismo como testigo de la violencia. Fuentes documentales de la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939)

Throughout the Spanish Civil war (1936-1939) photojournalism meets its known as Golden Age, specially because of mythical photographers such as Robert Capa or Gerda Taro. However, it is also owing to the work of spanish photographers whose work was concealed by the dictatorship because of their truly commitment with the republican cause. Their memory, their work, started to be appreciate only after Franco’s death and only once the democracy finally arrived to our country. Thus, we will see face-to-face the new documentary sources of information about foreign photojurnalism versus the spanish big-unknown photographers, they were who inmortalized the main battles and the inocent victims of the war.Durante la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939), el fotoperiodismo conoce su edad de oro gracias a míticos fotógrafos extranjeros, como Robert Capa o Gerda Taro, pero también gracias a los fotógrafos españoles que debido a su compromiso con la causa republicana, vieron su trabajo relegado al ostracismo. Su memoria sólo comenzó a ser reivindicada y valorada tras la muerte de Franco y la llegada de la democracia a nuestro país. De este modo, veremos frente a frente las nuevas fuentes documentales del fotoperiodismo extranjero y el trabajo de los fotoperiodistas españoles, quienes fueron los grandes desconocidos, aunque ellos también inmortalizaron las principales batallas, y a las víctimas civiles del conflicto

Discussions on Photography: From the Role of The Photo Editor and the Icons, to the Digital Era

A través del siguiente artículo repasaremos algunos debates que la fotografía ha suscitado en los últimos años en ocasiones relacionados con la digitalización y la posible manipulación gracias a un software cada vez más accesible, pero también la posibilidad de una información gráfica inmediata gracias a los smartphones, posibles sustitutos de la cámara fotográfica; y cómo no el papel del fotoperiodista ciudadano. Además, se verá el mecanismo por el cual una foto llega a convertirse en un icono aceptado por consenso social.Through the following paper we will review some issues that photography has rised in recent years and they are related to digitization and the possible manipulation through an increasingly accessible software, but also we will review the possibility of immediate graphical information thanks to the smartphones, possible substitutes of camera; and of course the role of the citizen photojournalist. In addition, the paper will take a look into the mechanism by which a picture become an icon by social acceptance

Formation of the olive grove monoculture in the region of Campiña de Jaén

Como en otras tantas zonas del interior andaluz, el olivar es el cultivo que cubre la mayor parte de la comarca de la Campiña de Jaén. Aunque pueda parecer que ha estado presente desde hace siglos, la construcción de este monocultivo es muy reciente. A través de la cartografía disponible es posible reconstruir este proceso y, a la vez, tratar de entender las claves de su avance, cambiantes en el tiempo. Dada la diversidad del ámbito de estudio seleccionado, los patrones espacio-temporales detectados pueden servir de modelo para comprender lo ocurrido a otras escalas, como la provincial y la regional. Sobre la base del análisis de ortofotografías y planos, que nos permiten retrotraernos a finales del siglo XIX, y el manejo de documentación escrita, este estudio ha posibilitado detectar diferentes fases o procesos de cambio por los que ha ido pasando el cultivo. El recorrido, parte de contextos típicos de subsistencia y dominio de campos multifuncionales en los que el olivo se entremezclaba con cereales o frutales; para llegar al productivismo más fervoroso -propio de las últimas décadas del siglo XX- y el advenimiento de los primeros indicios del post-productivismo o del neo-productivismo que han llegado después.Just like in so many other inland areas of Andalusia, the olive groves are the main crop cultivated in the region of Campiña de Jaén. Although it might seem that it has existed for centuries, the formation of this monoculture is quite recent. Using the cartography that is available, this process can be rebuilt and, simultaneously, the key factors behind its progress can be determined, which have changed over time. Given the diversity of the selected area under analysis, the space and time patterns detected can be used as a model to understand what has happened on other scales, such as on provincial or regional scales. By analyzing ortophotographs and maps -that enable us to go back to the end of 19th century- and the written documentation, during this study different periods or processes of change that the cultivation has gone through have been identified. The study starts off with the typical contexts of subsistence and the dominance of multifunctional fields, where olive trees were mixed in with cereals or fruit trees; to make productivism more intense (typical in last decades of the 20th century) and then it goes on to the appearance of the first signs of new processes like post- productivism or neo-productivism that followed

The presence of memory in José Manuel Martínez Bellido’s graphic works

La siguiente comunicación analiza el papel de la memoria en la obra de José Manuel Martínez Bellido. Las fotografías de álbum familiar son el punto inicial de sus series. Entre ellas podemos distinguir aquellas imágenes que pertenecen a su propio álbum familiar y que interviene con texto; otras realizadas en grafito en los que interpreta las imágenes disolviendo el rostro de determinadas figuras. Y por último, fotografías en las que borra con óleo las personas que aparecen.The next paper analyzes the role of memory in the work of José Manuel Martínez Bellido. Family album photographs are the starting point of his series. Among them we can distinguish those images that belong to his own family album and that intervenes with text; Others made in graphite in which he interprets the images dissolving the face of certain figures. And lastly, photographs in which it deletes with oil the people that appear
