Adsorption Desorption Operations Of Multilayer Desiccant Packed Bed For Dehumidification Applications., A. Kabeel

Mansoura Engineering Journal

In this work, the effect of design and operating parameters on the performance of a multilayer desiccant packed bed was theoretically and experimentally studied. In the experimental work, a silica gel packed bed of eight layers has been studied. The transient value of the mass of adsorbed water and desorbed water were measured for different values of the bed length. The theoretical model shows the dependence of the dimensionless value of water content in the bed on the dimensionless time. Also the model shows that the dimensionless temperature depends on the bed characteristics and bed water content. The effect of …

Perspectives Of Scientists On Disseminating Research Findings To Non-Research Audiences, Demetria M Mcneal, Russell E Glasgow, Ross C Brownson, Daniel D Matlock, Pamela N Peterson, Stacie L Daugherty, Christopher E Knoepke

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Little is known about practices used to disseminate findings to non-research, practitioner audiences. This study describes the perspectives, experience and activities of dissemination & implementation (D&I) scientists around disseminating their research findings.

METHODS: The study explored D&I scientists' experiences and recommendations for assessment of dissemination activities to non-research audiences. Existing list serves were used to recruit scientists. Respondents were asked three open-ended questions on an Internet survey about dissemination activities, recommendations for changing evaluation systems and suggestions to improve their own dissemination of their work.

RESULTS: Surveys were completed by 159 scientists reporting some training, funding and/or publication history …

Performance Analysis Of Sliding Window Multiuser Detectors Used In Asynchronous Ds-Cdma Systems., Mohamed Samy, Mohamed El-Dakiky, Islam Shaalan

Mansoura Engineering Journal

In this paper, the sliding-window method is applied on both decorrelating and linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) multiuser detectors. The analytical expressions for the error probability of those multiuser detectors (MUDs) are derived. The analysis is presented for asynchronous direct sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and multipath fading environment. The adopted detectors divide the received signal stream into processing windows and process them window by window. The effects of expanding the processing-window length on the error probabilities are investigated. The analysis shows that the error performance of the decorrelating detector is much better than …

Farmers’ Place-Based Discourse About Water Relations: Ways Of Knowing Water And Multispecies Survival, Jeffrey Alan Hoffmann

Communication ETDs

The present study looks at farmers’ discourse about water and water relations. Through qualitative interviews using the method of cultural discourse analysis (CuDA), and the framework of ecocultural dialectics, the study reveals how, as farmers talk about water, they also make explicit and implicit arguments about specific cultural relations with the biosphere, as well as the role of identity, place, and power in designing and implementing agricultural solutions to ecological and social problems. I argue that the contradictions in how farmers discursively envision the problems of water pollution and scarcity, as well as solutions to those problems in their farming …

Impact Of Network And Host Characteristics On The Keystroke Pattern In Remote Desktop Sessions, I Kuzminykh, B Ghita, A Silonosov

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Authentication based on keystroke dynamics is a convenient biometric approach, easy in use, transparent, and cheap as it does not require a dedicated sensor. Keystroke authentication, as part of multi factor authentication, can be used in remote display access to guarantee the security of use of remote connectivity systems during the access control phase or throughout the session. This paper investigates how network conditions and additional host interaction may impact the behavioural pattern of keystrokes when used in a remote desktop application scenario. We focus on the timing of adjacent keys and investigate this impact by calculating the variations of …

The Challenges With Internet Of Things For Business, I Kuzminykh, B Ghita, Jm Such

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Many companies consider IoT as a central element for increasing competitiveness. Despite the growing number of cyberattacks on IoT devices and the importance of IoT security, no study has yet primarily focused on the impact of IoT security measures on the security challenges. This paper presents a review of the current state of security of IoT in companies that produce IoT products and have begun a transformation towards the digitalization of their products and the associated production processes. The analysis of challenges in IoT security was conducted based on the review of resources and reports on IoT security, while mapping …

Monomer Selection For In Situ Polymerization Infusion Manufacture Of Natural-Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic-Matrix Marine Composites, Yang Qin, John Summerscales, Jasper Graham-Jones, Maozhou Meng, Richard Pemberton

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Awareness of environmental issues has led to increasing interest from composite researchers in using “greener” materials to replace synthetic fiber reinforcements and petrochemical polymer matrices. Natural fiber bio-based thermoplastic composites could be an appropriate choice with advantages including reducing environmental impacts, using renewable resources and being recyclable. The choice of polymer matrix will significantly affect the cost, manufacturing process, mechanical properties and durability of the composite system. The criteria for appropriate monomers are based on the processing temperature and viscosity, polymer mechanical properties, recyclability, etc. This review considers the selection of thermoplastic monomers suitable for in situ polymerization during resin, …

Modifying And Validating The Social Responsiveness Scale Edition 2 For Use With Deaf Children And Young People, Barry Wright, Helen Phillips, Couteur A Le, Jennifer Sweetman, Rachel Hodkinson, Amelia Ralph-Lewis, Emily Hayward, Alice Brennan, Josie Mulloy, Natalie Day, Martin Bland, Victoria Allgar

Peninsula Medical School

A Delphi consensus methodology was used to adapt a screening tool, the Social Responsiveness Scale– 2 (SRS-2), for use with deaf children including those whose preferred communication method is sign language. Using this approach; 27 international experts (The Delphi International Expert Panel), on the topic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in deaf people, contributed to the review of item content. A criterion for agreement was set at 80% of experts on each item (with 75% acceptable in the final fourth round). The agreed modifications are discussed. The modified SRS-2 research adaptation for deaf people (referred to here as the “SRS-2 …

Wait Line Behaviors At Restaurants During Covid-19, Pamela E. Hollis, Cheyenne Vannier, Patrick Millegan, Jessica Reagan

Undergraduate Presentations

We were assigned to do field work observations through a series of individual data collection sessions. My group member and I choose to do observations at restaurants to see how covid has impacted waiting in line due to their facility reaching capacity. We each chose different locations to observe and collect data. Within this research project, we were able to identify different behaviors of people waiting. Some people were patient, kind, and courteous while other’s were impatient and rude. These observations were made by each observer at these different locations.
