Cooling tower plume - model and experiment

The paper discusses the description of the simple model of the, so-called, steam plume, which in many cases forms during the operation of the evaporative cooling systems of the power plants, or large technological units. The model is based on semi-empirical equations that describe the behaviour of a mixture of two gases in case of the free jet stream. In the conclusion of the paper, a simple experiment is presented through which the results of the designed model shall be validated in the subsequent period

Individuelle und strukturelle Faktoren der Mitgliederbindung im Sportverein

This article analyses the conditions influencing the commitment of members of sports clubs. It focuses not only on individual characteristics of members, but also on the corresponding structural conditions of sports clubs related to the individual decision to quit or continue their membership. The influences of both the individual and context levels on the commitment of members are estimated in different multi-level models. Results of these multi-level analyses indicate that commitment of members is not just an outcome of individual characteristics such as strong commitment to the club, positively perceived communication and cooperation, satisfaction with sports clubsʼ offers, or voluntary engagement. It is also influenced by club-specific structural conditions: commitment is more probable in rural sports clubs, and clubs who explicitly support sociability, whereas success-oriented sporting goals in clubs have a destabilizing effect.In diesem Beitrag werden Bedingungen analysiert, die die Mitgliederbindung in Sportvereinen beeinflussen. Neben individuellen Merkmalen interessieren dabei auch die Strukturbedingungen der Sportvereine, die im Zusammenhang mit der individuellen Wahlhandlung zwischen stabiler Mitgliedschaft oder Austritt stehen. Der Einfluss der Individual- und Kontextebene auf die Mitgliederbindung in Sportvereinen wird anhand unterschiedlicher Mehrebenenmodelle geschätzt. Die Analysen machen deutlich, dass sich die dauerhafte Mitgliedschaft in Sportvereinen nicht allein auf individuelle Merkmale der Mitgliedschaft, wie eine ausgeprägte Verbundenheit, ein positiv wahrgenommenes soziales Miteinander, die Zufriedenheit mit der Vereinsarbeit sowie die ehrenamtliche Mitarbeit zurückführen lässt. Darüber hinaus nehmen vereinsspezifische Strukturbedingungen Einfluss auf die Mitgliederbindung, wobei in ländlich geprägten Sportvereinen und in Vereinen, die Geselligkeit explizit fördern und in denen das Vereinsziel sportlicher Erfolg eher eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt, die Austrittswahrscheinlichkeit geringer ist

Entstellte Darstellung: Schreiben und Lesen im Zeichen des Todes. Zur spaten Prosa von Nelly Sachs

My thesis is the first scholarly critique of Nelly Sachs’s later prose and seeks to establish it as a significant body of work, both within Sachs's oeuvre and in German literature after the Second World War. In her later prose Sachs develops, describes and publicly illustrates her own poetics, which I describe as 'disfigured representation'. Sachs does so in three different types of prose, which can be differentiated by their functions: firstly, 'Erschreiben' or 'writing oneself' (autobiographical notes developing her poetics); secondly, 'Anlesen' or 'reading the works of others' (essayistic texts further describing Sachs’s own writing by reading the works of others); thirdly, 'Verlesen' or 'reading oneself to/for others’ (public speeches illustrating her own poetics). Contrary to many of the previous studies on Sachs's writing, I argue that the Shoah should not be seen as the centre and sole issue of Sachs's works, but needs rather to be thought of as the historical base of Sachs's poetics. A personal incident, the death of Sachs's mother, proves to be the main catalyst for Sachs’s renewed prose-writing after 1950 and for the formulation of her own poetics in these texts. Together, the historical base and personal incident inform the realm of death, a realm central to Sachs's poetics. Focusing on Sachs's explicit poetics in my close reading of her later prose allows the revision, reformulation, and fusion of previous studies on the implicit poetics in her poetry and plays. Furthermore, it confirms a newly suggested periodisation of her oeuvre, which is closely linked to the question of how literature, history and biography interact. The 'language of the many' in her 1940s writings is followed by a never-ending search for identity after 1950. This leads to a radical literary openness and bodily poetics, erasing the 'I' more and more, until finally we arrive at a distinct form of ethics and witnessing.</p

Entering the Greater China: setting up International Purchasing Office in Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong

進入大中華市場：在中國、台灣以及香港設立採辦處This study is focused on issue of setting up International Purchasing Office in Greater China region. It describes history, development and importance of the region in global sourcing. It contains discussion of advantages and disadvantages of three distinct locations for setting up the office- Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. There is a detailed description of steps that are necessary to undertake process of starting the office and comparison of business registration process in different locations from legislative and business perspective. Author concludes that the best way for IPO in this region is holding company in Hong Kong with subsidiaries in Mainland China and Taiwan. However, due to political and economic dynamic of the region, this might be subject of change in near future

Wenn das Studieren außer Kontrolle gerät

&lt;jats:p&gt; Zusammenfassung: Theoretischer Hintergrund: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, eine deutschsprachige Adaptation der Bergen Study Addiction Scale (BStAS), einer Skala zur Erfassung von exzessivem Studierverhalten, zu entwickeln und zu validieren. Methode: Die Daten von 615 Studierenden wurden analysiert. Die Dimensionalität der BStAS wurde mittels konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalyse überprüft. Außerdem wurden Korrelations- und hierarchische Regressionsanalysen durchgeführt, um Zusammenhänge von exzessivem Studierverhalten mit Persönlichkeit und Gesundheit zu untersuchen. Ergebnisse: Der Vergleich mit Dynamic Fit Index Cutoffs deutete auf eine moderate Missspezifikation des einfaktoriellen Modells hin. Wie erwartet war exzessives Studierverhalten positiv mit wöchentlichen Lernstunden, Neurotizismus, wahrgenommenem Stress, psychosomatischen Beschwerden und Schlafproblemen assoziiert und hing negativ mit Lebenszufriedenheit zusammen. Schlussfolgerung: Es ist fraglich, ob alle Items der BStAS Aspekte einer Verhaltenssucht erfassen. Die Ergebnisse legen dennoch nahe, dass die BStAS ein Studierverhalten misst, das in Bezug auf physische und psychische Gesundheit von Relevanz ist. &lt;/jats:p&gt

CFD analýza uspořádání anemometrického senzoru pro měření průtoku vzduchu ve výměníku tepla

Tento článek se zaměřuje na problematiku měření průtoku v automobilových výměnících tepla. Měření je komplikované vzhledem k omezenému prostoru v oblasti výměníku tepla a nerovnoměrnému rychlostnímu profilu. Proto lze použít pouze některé měřicí techniky, které je třeba přizpůsobit konkrétním podmínkám. Článek představuje počáteční fáze vývoje žhaveného senzoru pro měření průtoku ve výměníku tepla. Jedná se o CFD simulace, které slouží k určení charakteru proudění v okolí senzoru a ověření jeho vlivu na proudové pole v jeho okolí a na celý výměník tepla. Výsledky těchto počátečních simulací jsou prezentovány a diskutovány.This paper focuses on the issue of flow measurement in automotive heat exchangers. The measurement is complicated due to the limited space in the heat exchanger area and the non-uniform velocity profile. Therefore, only some measuring techniques can be used, which must be adapted to the specific conditions. The paper presents the initial stages of the development of a sensor for measuring the flow in a heat exchanger. These are CFD simulations used to determine the nature of the flow around the sensor and verify its effect on the flow field in its surrounding and on the entire heat exchanger. The results of these initial simulations are presented and discussed
