Spatial Temperature and Water Molar Concentration Measurements Using Thermal and Electrostrictive Ligs During Operation of a Swirl Burner at Pressure

Laser-Induced Grating Spectroscopy (LIGS) was applied in a high-pressure combustion facility. Instantaneous (sub-μs), spatially resolved (within 5 mm) measurements of temperature and molar fractions of water were obtained using thermal and electrostrictive LIGS signals. Temperatures up to 1800 K and water molar fractions between 0.01 and 0.12...

Identifying spatial technology clusters from patenting concentrations using heat map kernel density estimation

In this paper a methodology for identifying and delineating spatial technology clusters based on patenting concentration is developed. The methodology involves the automated geocoding of patent inventor addresses, the application of a home bias correction factor and a sensitivity analysis to determine the optimal parameters of the kernel...

City Branding: An empirical study into City branding based on infrastructure, landscape and spatial/planning in Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Singapore and Doha: Branding upcoming cities in the Middle and Far East

Within the field of construction management & engineering are upcoming cities investigated on how they achieved economic development and how they increased the quality of life by using the phenomena of city branding as development tool. By doing so (city branding), cities hope to get a better position on the global market to attract...

Modelling Brazilian Indigenous Tribes Land Rights with ISO 19152 LADM

The issue of indigenous land rights is a particularly pressing political and socio-economical issue in contemporaneous Brazil. Violent land disputes between non-indigenous land ownership and indigenous with overlapping claims to land rights is a complex problem. It has been caused by the bureaucratic and slow process of land adjudication that...
