The main aim is to assess indoor air quality and microclimate in the context of energy efficiency, indoor air quality and thermal comfort dilemma in the studied buildings. Microclimate and CO2 measurements were carried out. Tracer gas method was used to determine air exchange rate and blower door tests were conducted to determine building tightness. Results show that ventilation systems are underperforming because they are not used as expected, thus leading to decreased indoor air quality and thermal comfort. Further assessment of economic aspects would be necessary to evaluate the indoor air quality impact on student and teacher health and productivity and its impact on municipality budgets.

Despite these characteristics, its use is currently limited to the powder and coating forms; only moderate success has been achieved in its densification, which has prevented its use in the bulk form. Here, we show that amorphous calcium phosphate can be sintered to near full density by simple uniaxial die pressing at 1250–1500 MPa at room temperature. The relative densities of the samples that were compacted at 1250 and 1500 MPa exceeded 95 %. Their specific surface area was more than 1000 times smaller than that of the starting powder and their Vickers hardness exceeded 1.90 GPa. The microstructures of the samples consisted of a grain-like structure with grain sizes below 100 nm. These results could inspire new applications for amorphous calcium phosphate in the form of bulk ceramics.

Ekspluatācijas laikā mūra materiāla degradācija, pārslodze, dinamiskās iedarbes, balsta konstrukciju sēšanās, kā arī to radītās deformācijas mūra plaknē un perpendikulāri tai, var izsaukt mūra konstrukcijas sagruvumu. Lai definētu vēsturisku ēku drošas ekspluatācijas robežas, ir noteikti mūra daļu pārvietojumi, kas neapdraud konstrukcijas noturību. Balstu deformāciju izraisīta plaisu attīstība, ievērojami maina spiedes spēka ass novietojumu šķērsgriezumā un izveido rotācijas punktus, kurus uzskata par locīklām. Vēsturisko ēku pamatu konstrukciju sēšanās ir par iemeslu plaisu attīstībai velvju pārsegumos un locīklas mehānisma izveidei. Velvju daļu savstarpējā mijiedarbība jādefinē kā virsmu kontakts, ievērtējot berzes komponenti, jo plaisājušu velvju droša ekspluatācija iespējama arī pēc caurejošu plaisu izveidošanās. Deformētā konstrukciju modeļa izveidei un analīzes aprobācijai izmantots Rīgas Doma baznīcas vertikālo konstrukciju un pārseguma modelis. Būvkonstrukciju analīzei izmantoti „inversās inženierijas” (reverse engineering) principi, veicot uzmērīšanu ar virsmu lāzerskanēšanas metodi un konstrukcijas analizējot ar būvkonstrukciju datoraprēķina programmām. Promocijas darbā secīgi apvienotas metodes, lai varētu analizēt esošu mūra ēku velvju pārsegumus. Metožu kopums sastāv no: a) vēsturisko mūra ēku velvju virsmu trīsdimensiju lāzerskanēšanas ar uzmērījumu transformāciju tīkla modelī; b) skaitliskas virsmas modeļa izveides, apstrādes un tā transformācijas būvkonstrukciju datoraprēķina programmās; c) mūra materiālu stiprības un elastīgo īpašību testa metožu atlases vēsturisko mūra materiālu īpašību noteikšanai; d) testos iegūto mūra materiāla īpašību apstrādes un homogenizēta mūra raksturlielumu pielietošanas datoraprēķinu programmās; e) vēsturisko ēku deformēto konstrukciju analīzes un korelācijas ar plaisu monitoringa datiem; f) velvju pārseguma nevienmērīgas balstu deformācijas efektu analīzes un esošu mūra pārsegumu drošas ekspluatācijas kritēriju izstrādes. Piedāvātais metožu kopums nodrošina vēsturisko mūra ēku deformēto konstrukciju analīzi, lai noteiktu drošas ekspluatācijas robežas. Izstrādātais metožu kopums ietver samazinātas laikietilpības ģeometrisko virsmu uzmērīšanas metodi un analīzes datormodeļa izveidi, pielietojot „inversās inženierijas” metodi un deformēto konstrukciju datoranalīzi, izmantojot tirgū plaši pieejamas būvkonstrukciju datoranalīzes programmas. Promocijas darbā korelētas velvju plaisu atvēruma izmaiņas ar pamatu nevienmērīgiem pārvietojumiem. Izmantojot Rīgas Doma baznīcas plaisu monitoringa sistēmas datus, analizēta temperatūras slogojuma, vēja, sniega un citu ekspluatācijas slodžu ietekme. Pamatojoties uz apvienoto mūra konstrukciju analīzes metožu kopumu, izstrādāts esošu mūra pārseguma konstrukciju drošas ekspluatācijas kritērijs. Darbā iekļauti 70 attēli, 6 tabulas un sniegtas atsauces uz 153 literatūras avotiem.

The efficiency of anaerobic digestion reactor decreases dramatically and production of methane ( CH 4) in digester stops if pH level drops under pH 6.6. Such problem is common for batch and single-stage digesters with high biomass solid content

It is an advanced Decision Support System (DSS) able to assist the policy makers in exploring the influences on market take-up of different transport technologies under various exogenous scenarios and policy options and in assessing the energy and environmental impacts of these technology mixes. To implement the decision-making analysis a newly developed evaluation methodology has been integrated into the DSS. The method, called NAIADE, allows decision-makers to evaluate complex choices on the basis of enhanced access to information of different types.

Solano; Jaime Perez; Antonio Viedma;D.S. Martínez; J.P. Solano; Jaime Perez; Antonio Viedma;Non-Newtonian flow and heat transfer in tubes of heat exchangers with reciprocating insert devices have been numerically investigated. The heat exchanger is mechanically assisted by a reciprocating cylinder, which moves the scraping rods inserted in the tubes. An array of semi-circular elements is mounted on each rod, with a pitch p = 5D. These elements fit the internal diameter of the tubes. During the reciprocating motion, they scrape the inner tube wall, avoiding fouling. Additionally, the movement of the inserted device generates macroscopic displacements of the flow, which continuously mix core regions with peripheral flow. A power law model with temperature dependent properties is implemented in FLUENT, for a Carboxymethil cellulose (CMC) solution in water with concentration of 2%. Flow pattern and pressure drop mechanisms are analyzed in static and dynamic conditions, and heat transfer enhancement features are discussed.

The use of high-power low-frequency ultrasound transmitted down small diameter wire waveguides is an emerging technology that may have potential in the treatment of complicated atherosclerotic plaques in cardiovascular surgery. This form of energy delivery results in vibrating the distal-tip of the wire waveguide disrupting material by means of direct contact ablation and also cavitation, pressure waves and acoustic streaming in the surrounding fluid. This work describes a numerical acoustic fluid-structure model of the ultrasound wire waveguide and blood surrounding the distal tip. The structural analysis of the model predicts the natural frequencies of the waveguide and shows the extent to which these are affected by the presence of the distal-tip geometry, the surrounding fluid and the length of wire waveguide. These results are validated against experimental results on a 23.5 kHz waveguide apparatus. The acoustic fluid results show the pressure field developed in the surrounding blood and predicts pressure conditions sufficient to cause cavitation in a region close to the distal-tip. These results compare favourably with experimental measurements reported in the literature. The model will prove a valuable design tool in the further development of this potential minimally invasive technology.

At the 2013 launch of the return to work scheme, “Springboard” in Dublin, it was stated that employers were seeking staff with enhanced language, presentation, communication, coping, and team-working skills. Graduates without these skills were finding it more difficult to gain permanent employment and were more likely to find themselves out of work unless they developed these skills. Enhancing personal development skills in education requires a revision of existing programmes. Not alone will these skills open new doors of opportunity for those who have lost their jobs during the recession, but should help sustain them going forward. The education of the modern engineer and technical experts for the changing and demanding world of work in the 21st century must consist of a multi-disciplined integrated approach. The vital and invaluable technical skills should be explained, practiced and demonstrated concurrently with equally essential and crucial pedagogy and so called “soft” skills. The ability to work independently, to manage and communicate effectively with people from other disciplines will yield dividends for future engineers. Skills such as problem solving, computer literacy and business acumen together with company specific skills, technical dexterity and an ability to understand the commercial goals of Industry must form an integral part of engineering education. There is currently, calls from industry for educational changes that enhance basic economic knowledge, management skills, learning to learn, and competencies in communications and teamwork. One of the challenges herein, is that programmes should provide capabilities for graduates to handle changing economic and cultural working environments [1]. This broad and integrated learning will help prepare the graduate for an increasingly complex modern working environment. Educators have a critical role to play in addressing the skills gap between education, environment and Industry

Discharge of organic load from treated wastewater may cause environmental eutrophication. Recently, fungi have gained much attention due to their removal of pharmaceutical substances by enzymatic degradation and adsorption. However, the fungal effect in removing nutrients is less investigated. Therefore, two fungal species, the white-rot fungus T. versicolor as a laboratory strain and the mold A. luchuensis as an environmental isolate from the municipal wastewater treatment plant, were studied to determine the fungal potential for phosphorus, nitrogen, and the total organic carbon removal from municipal wastewater, carrying out a batch scale experiment to a fluidized bed pelleted bioreactor. During the batch scale experiment, the total removal (99.9 %) of phosphorus by T. versicolor was attained after a 6 hours-long incubation period while the maximal removal efficiency (99.9 %) for phosphorus from A. luchuensis was gained after an incubation period of 24 hours. Furthermore, both fungi showed that the pH adjustment to 5.5 kept the concentration of nitrogen constant and stabilized the total organic carbon reduction process for the entire incubation period. The results from the fluidized bed bioreactor demonstrated opposite tendencies on a nutrient removal comparing to a batch experiment where no significant effect on phosphorus, nitrogen, and total organics carbon reduction was observed. The obtained results from this study of batch and fluidized bed bioreactor experiments are a promising starting point for a successful fungal treatment optimization and application to wastewater treatment.

The main aim is to assess indoor air quality and microclimate in the context of energy efficiency, indoor air quality and thermal comfort dilemma in the studied buildings. Microclimate and CO2 measurements were carried out. Tracer gas method was used to determine air exchange rate and blower door tests were conducted to determine building tightness. Results show that ventilation systems are underperforming because they are not used as expected, thus leading to decreased indoor air quality and thermal comfort. Further assessment of economic aspects would be necessary to evaluate the indoor air quality impact on student and teacher health and productivity and its impact on municipality budgets.

Despite these characteristics, its use is currently limited to the powder and coating forms; only moderate success has been achieved in its densification, which has prevented its use in the bulk form. Here, we show that amorphous calcium phosphate can be sintered to near full density by simple uniaxial die pressing at 1250–1500 MPa at room temperature. The relative densities of the samples that were compacted at 1250 and 1500 MPa exceeded 95 %. Their specific surface area was more than 1000 times smaller than that of the starting powder and their Vickers hardness exceeded 1.90 GPa. The microstructures of the samples consisted of a grain-like structure with grain sizes below 100 nm. These results could inspire new applications for amorphous calcium phosphate in the form of bulk ceramics.

Ekspluatācijas laikā mūra materiāla degradācija, pārslodze, dinamiskās iedarbes, balsta konstrukciju sēšanās, kā arī to radītās deformācijas mūra plaknē un perpendikulāri tai, var izsaukt mūra konstrukcijas sagruvumu. Lai definētu vēsturisku ēku drošas ekspluatācijas robežas, ir noteikti mūra daļu pārvietojumi, kas neapdraud konstrukcijas noturību. Balstu deformāciju izraisīta plaisu attīstība, ievērojami maina spiedes spēka ass novietojumu šķērsgriezumā un izveido rotācijas punktus, kurus uzskata par locīklām. Vēsturisko ēku pamatu konstrukciju sēšanās ir par iemeslu plaisu attīstībai velvju pārsegumos un locīklas mehānisma izveidei. Velvju daļu savstarpējā mijiedarbība jādefinē kā virsmu kontakts, ievērtējot berzes komponenti, jo plaisājušu velvju droša ekspluatācija iespējama arī pēc caurejošu plaisu izveidošanās. Deformētā konstrukciju modeļa izveidei un analīzes aprobācijai izmantots Rīgas Doma baznīcas vertikālo konstrukciju un pārseguma modelis. Būvkonstrukciju analīzei izmantoti „inversās inženierijas” (reverse engineering) principi, veicot uzmērīšanu ar virsmu lāzerskanēšanas metodi un konstrukcijas analizējot ar būvkonstrukciju datoraprēķina programmām. Promocijas darbā secīgi apvienotas metodes, lai varētu analizēt esošu mūra ēku velvju pārsegumus. Metožu kopums sastāv no: a) vēsturisko mūra ēku velvju virsmu trīsdimensiju lāzerskanēšanas ar uzmērījumu transformāciju tīkla modelī; b) skaitliskas virsmas modeļa izveides, apstrādes un tā transformācijas būvkonstrukciju datoraprēķina programmās; c) mūra materiālu stiprības un elastīgo īpašību testa metožu atlases vēsturisko mūra materiālu īpašību noteikšanai; d) testos iegūto mūra materiāla īpašību apstrādes un homogenizēta mūra raksturlielumu pielietošanas datoraprēķinu programmās; e) vēsturisko ēku deformēto konstrukciju analīzes un korelācijas ar plaisu monitoringa datiem; f) velvju pārseguma nevienmērīgas balstu deformācijas efektu analīzes un esošu mūra pārsegumu drošas ekspluatācijas kritēriju izstrādes. Piedāvātais metožu kopums nodrošina vēsturisko mūra ēku deformēto konstrukciju analīzi, lai noteiktu drošas ekspluatācijas robežas. Izstrādātais metožu kopums ietver samazinātas laikietilpības ģeometrisko virsmu uzmērīšanas metodi un analīzes datormodeļa izveidi, pielietojot „inversās inženierijas” metodi un deformēto konstrukciju datoranalīzi, izmantojot tirgū plaši pieejamas būvkonstrukciju datoranalīzes programmas. Promocijas darbā korelētas velvju plaisu atvēruma izmaiņas ar pamatu nevienmērīgiem pārvietojumiem. Izmantojot Rīgas Doma baznīcas plaisu monitoringa sistēmas datus, analizēta temperatūras slogojuma, vēja, sniega un citu ekspluatācijas slodžu ietekme. Pamatojoties uz apvienoto mūra konstrukciju analīzes metožu kopumu, izstrādāts esošu mūra pārseguma konstrukciju drošas ekspluatācijas kritērijs. Darbā iekļauti 70 attēli, 6 tabulas un sniegtas atsauces uz 153 literatūras avotiem.

The efficiency of anaerobic digestion reactor decreases dramatically and production of methane ( CH 4) in digester stops if pH level drops under pH 6.6. Such problem is common for batch and single-stage digesters with high biomass solid content

It is an advanced Decision Support System (DSS) able to assist the policy makers in exploring the influences on market take-up of different transport technologies under various exogenous scenarios and policy options and in assessing the energy and environmental impacts of these technology mixes. To implement the decision-making analysis a newly developed evaluation methodology has been integrated into the DSS. The method, called NAIADE, allows decision-makers to evaluate complex choices on the basis of enhanced access to information of different types.

Solano; Jaime Perez; Antonio Viedma;D.S. Martínez; J.P. Solano; Jaime Perez; Antonio Viedma;Non-Newtonian flow and heat transfer in tubes of heat exchangers with reciprocating insert devices have been numerically investigated. The heat exchanger is mechanically assisted by a reciprocating cylinder, which moves the scraping rods inserted in the tubes. An array of semi-circular elements is mounted on each rod, with a pitch p = 5D. These elements fit the internal diameter of the tubes. During the reciprocating motion, they scrape the inner tube wall, avoiding fouling. Additionally, the movement of the inserted device generates macroscopic displacements of the flow, which continuously mix core regions with peripheral flow. A power law model with temperature dependent properties is implemented in FLUENT, for a Carboxymethil cellulose (CMC) solution in water with concentration of 2%. Flow pattern and pressure drop mechanisms are analyzed in static and dynamic conditions, and heat transfer enhancement features are discussed.

The use of high-power low-frequency ultrasound transmitted down small diameter wire waveguides is an emerging technology that may have potential in the treatment of complicated atherosclerotic plaques in cardiovascular surgery. This form of energy delivery results in vibrating the distal-tip of the wire waveguide disrupting material by means of direct contact ablation and also cavitation, pressure waves and acoustic streaming in the surrounding fluid. This work describes a numerical acoustic fluid-structure model of the ultrasound wire waveguide and blood surrounding the distal tip. The structural analysis of the model predicts the natural frequencies of the waveguide and shows the extent to which these are affected by the presence of the distal-tip geometry, the surrounding fluid and the length of wire waveguide. These results are validated against experimental results on a 23.5 kHz waveguide apparatus. The acoustic fluid results show the pressure field developed in the surrounding blood and predicts pressure conditions sufficient to cause cavitation in a region close to the distal-tip. These results compare favourably with experimental measurements reported in the literature. The model will prove a valuable design tool in the further development of this potential minimally invasive technology.

At the 2013 launch of the return to work scheme, “Springboard” in Dublin, it was stated that employers were seeking staff with enhanced language, presentation, communication, coping, and team-working skills. Graduates without these skills were finding it more difficult to gain permanent employment and were more likely to find themselves out of work unless they developed these skills. Enhancing personal development skills in education requires a revision of existing programmes. Not alone will these skills open new doors of opportunity for those who have lost their jobs during the recession, but should help sustain them going forward. The education of the modern engineer and technical experts for the changing and demanding world of work in the 21st century must consist of a multi-disciplined integrated approach. The vital and invaluable technical skills should be explained, practiced and demonstrated concurrently with equally essential and crucial pedagogy and so called “soft” skills. The ability to work independently, to manage and communicate effectively with people from other disciplines will yield dividends for future engineers. Skills such as problem solving, computer literacy and business acumen together with company specific skills, technical dexterity and an ability to understand the commercial goals of Industry must form an integral part of engineering education. There is currently, calls from industry for educational changes that enhance basic economic knowledge, management skills, learning to learn, and competencies in communications and teamwork. One of the challenges herein, is that programmes should provide capabilities for graduates to handle changing economic and cultural working environments [1]. This broad and integrated learning will help prepare the graduate for an increasingly complex modern working environment. Educators have a critical role to play in addressing the skills gap between education, environment and Industry

Discharge of organic load from treated wastewater may cause environmental eutrophication. Recently, fungi have gained much attention due to their removal of pharmaceutical substances by enzymatic degradation and adsorption. However, the fungal effect in removing nutrients is less investigated. Therefore, two fungal species, the white-rot fungus T. versicolor as a laboratory strain and the mold A. luchuensis as an environmental isolate from the municipal wastewater treatment plant, were studied to determine the fungal potential for phosphorus, nitrogen, and the total organic carbon removal from municipal wastewater, carrying out a batch scale experiment to a fluidized bed pelleted bioreactor. During the batch scale experiment, the total removal (99.9 %) of phosphorus by T. versicolor was attained after a 6 hours-long incubation period while the maximal removal efficiency (99.9 %) for phosphorus from A. luchuensis was gained after an incubation period of 24 hours. Furthermore, both fungi showed that the pH adjustment to 5.5 kept the concentration of nitrogen constant and stabilized the total organic carbon reduction process for the entire incubation period. The results from the fluidized bed bioreactor demonstrated opposite tendencies on a nutrient removal comparing to a batch experiment where no significant effect on phosphorus, nitrogen, and total organics carbon reduction was observed. The obtained results from this study of batch and fluidized bed bioreactor experiments are a promising starting point for a successful fungal treatment optimization and application to wastewater treatment.
