Improving Energy Efficiency for All: Lessons on sustainable building retrofits from Shanghai, China

Improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings is a critical part of action on climate change. Retrofitting in particular provides benefits to the economy, the environment and society, as well as making significant reductions to operational greenhouse gas emissions. This policy brief looks in detail at the impact of retrofitting schemes...

Neighbourhood poverty, work commitment and unemployment in early adulthood: A longitudinal study into the moderating effect of personality

We studied how personality moderates the effect of neighbourhood disadvantage on work commitment and unemployment in early adulthood. Using a personality typolo-gy of resilients, overcontrollers, and undercontrollers, we hypothesised that the association between neighbourhood poverty and both work commitment and unemployment would be stronger...

The pressure gradient for heterogeneous flow of coal, sand and iron in pipelines

The existing relationships based on Durand's method to predict pressure gradients for slurry flow in pipelines appear to be inadequate when accounting for a wide range of variables such as particle size and relative density as well as concentration. Using the coal, sand and iron ore data collected from various literature sources with the aid of...

Tussentijds verslag betreffende metingen van uitwisselingen tussen rivier en haven

De sedimentatie in een haven wordt o.a. bepaald door de wateruitwisselingen door de havenmond en de stromingspatronen in de haven. Dit onderzoek beperkt zich in hoofdzaak tot het geval van door entrainment (meeslepen) van water uit het havenbekken in de menglaag tussen de rivier en het havenbekken veroorzaakte uitwisseling. Afgezien wordt van...

Method of Molerus and Wellman to Compute the Pressure Drop of Slurry Transport in Horizontal Pipes

In the literaturey many methods for the calculation of pipeline hydraulic transport of solids have been published. Their degree of exactness and applicability is variabie and therefore it is hard to the designer to make a convincible decision regarding their practical use. A new concept for the computation of slurry hydraulic transport in...
