Future development programs

A company program was planned which has a main drive to develop those emission reduction concepts that have the promise of earliest success. These programs were proposed in an attempt to enhance existing engine systems, exploiting their potential for emission reduction as far as is compatible with retaining the well established features in them that are well understood and in current production. The intended programs identified in the area of new concepts were: (1) upgrading the TCM fuel system, (2) evaluation of accelerator pump, (3) reduced cooling requirement, and (4) variable spark timing

Managing innovation in English language education, state of the art review.

Innovation in English language education (ELE) has become a major ‘growth area’ in recent years. At the same time, an ELE innovation management literature has also developed, based on insights from innovation theory and their application, both from outside and within ELE, and concerned with attempting to critically evaluate and inform ELE innovation practice. Thus, using a well-established three-part framework for distinguishing the main stages involved in innovation project management, this review describes and discusses the main features of this body of work. After defining terms and clarifying its scope, it considers what is said about the innovation ‘initiation’ phase, in terms of innovation causes, characteristics and contexts. It then examines conceptualisations of the innovation ‘implementation’ stage, by distinguishing main overall approaches, frameworks for identifying and configuring roles, underlying psychological processes, and the use of evaluation techniques. Lastly, the literature relating to innovation ‘institutionalisation’ stage is analysed. The article concludes by identifying overall trends and areas for further development. In particular, it is argued that ELE innovation work needs to become more informed by many of the concepts and procedures which the ELE innovation management literature contains

Unique Determination of Sound Speeds for Coupled Systems of Semi-linear Wave Equations

We consider coupled systems of semi-linear wave equations with different sound speeds on a finite time interval $[0,T]$ and a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, with boundary $\partial\Omega$. We show the coupled systems are well posed for variable coefficient sounds speeds and short times. Under the assumption of small initial data, we prove the source to solutions map on $[0,T]\times\partial\Omega$ associated with the nonlinear problem is sufficient to determine the source-to-solution map for the linear problem. We can then reconstruct the sound speeds in $\Omega$ for the coupled nonlinear wave equations under certain geometric assumptions. In the case of the full source to solution map in $\Omega\times[0,T]$ this reconstruction could also be accomplished under fewer geometric assumptions.Comment: minor update
