Practical application of e-Learning

A 3 hour presentation to a group of 20 hairdressing tutors. Examples of technology used in hairdressing education from colleagues and my own practice were given. Participants discussed how they could incorporate technology into their own practice

Springback Compensation: Fundamental Topics and Practical Application

Now that the simulation of deep drawing processes has become more reliable the virtual\ud compensation of the forming tools has become reality. In literature, the Displacement Adjustment (DA)\ud algorithm has proved to be most effective. In this article it is shown how the compensation factor, required for\ud (one-step) DA depends on material, process and geometrical parameters. For this an analytical bar stretchbending\ud model was used. A compensation factor is not required when DA is applied iteratively and the\ud products geometrical accuracy is improved further. This was demonstrated on an industrial part. The\ud compensation varies over the product, leading to a reduction in shape deviation of 90% and more, a result that\ud could not have been achieved with one-step compensatio

Practical application of modern approaches to business valuation

Every day, thousands of participants in the investment profession — investors, portfolio managers, regulators, researchers — face a common and often perplexing question: What is the value of a particular asset? The answers to this question usually determine success or failure in achieving investment objectives.

Practical application of remote sensing in agriculture

Remote sensing program imagery from several types of platforms, from light aircraft to the LANDSAT (ERTS) satellites, have been utilized during the past few years, with preference for inexpensive imagery over expensive magnetic tapes. Emphasis has been on practical application of remote sensing data to increase crop yield by decreasing plant stress, disease, weeds and undesirable insects and by improving irrigation. Imagery obtained from low altitudes via aircraft provides the necessary resolution and complements but does not replace data from high altitude aircraft, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft, Skylab space station and LANDSAT satellites. Federal government centers are now able to supply imagery within about thirty days from data of order. Nevertheless, if the full potential of space imagery in practical agricultural operations is to be realized, the time span from date of imaging to user application needs to be shortened from the current several months to not more than two weeks

Practical application of pseudospectral optimization to robot path planning

To obtain minimum time or minimum energy trajectories for robots it is necessary to employ planning methods which adequately consider the platform’s dynamic properties. A variety of sampling, graph-based or local receding-horizon optimisation methods have previously been proposed. These typically use simplified kino-dynamic models to avoid the significant computational burden of solving this problem in a high dimensional state-space. In this paper we investigate solutions from the class of pseudospectral optimisation methods which have grown in favour amongst the optimal control community in recent years. These methods have high computational efficiency and rapid convergence properties. We present a practical application of such an approach to the robot path planning problem to provide a trajectory considering the robot’s dynamic properties. We extend the existing literature by augmenting the path constraints with sensed obstacles rather than predefined analytical functions to enable real world application

Practical application of Emotional Freedom Techniques for food cravings

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has been shown to have a lasting effect on food cravings, power over food and restraint ability, and ultimately results in weight loss. This paper discusses the approach utilised in a recent food craving clinical treatment trial (Stapleton, Sheldon, & Porter, 2012; Stapleton, Sheldon, Porter, & Whitty, 2011), and highlights the case of a single participant. Sessions are described in detail and specific recommendations are made for the application of EFT to food cravings in overweight and obese individuals.Full Tex

SUBSTANTIATION INTO PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE BIOMASS GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

Consumption of energy resources in the nearest time will provoke their rapid rise, accompanied by their gradual exhaustion. This situation requires a search of internal reserves based on renewable energy. Energy crisis prompts European countries for searching an alternative source of renewable energy. Important part of those efforts is conducting of integration research and development of road maps for sustainable energy use for whole continents. That is why the primary purpose of current research is to try find solution in diversification of energy resources

Practical application of CFD for wind loading on tall buildings

This paper is concerned with assessing the scope of appicabiity for computational fluid dynamics(CFD) in the field of structural engineering, with a particular reference to tall buildings. Modern design trends and advances in engineering materials have encouraged the demand for taller and more slender structures. This pattern induces inherent structural flexibility; these cases exceed the limitations of the quasi-static method offered by current codes of practice. Wind tunnel testing is the traditional solution for such dynamically sensitive structures. However, even this scaled modelling approach is clouded by some uncertainties, including scaling the Reynolds number and assuming damping values for the aeroelastic model. While CFD cannot be used as a replacement for wind tunnel testing, there are results within the literature to suggest it has the potential to act as a complimentary tool - provided it is used within its capabilities. The paper outlines the various turbulence models that are available and summarises the extent of their application in a practical structural engineering sense. It also details the user-defined criteria that must be satisfied and discusses the potential for simplified models in tall building CFD analyses, with a view to promoting more efficient and practical solutions
