Owning Health Equity Entrepreneurship, Capital, And Community-Owned Health, Thomas Williams

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

There is a long history of recognized health disparities affecting marginalized communities in the United States. These disparities have complicated and deep roots, but multiple factors can be controlled in the short term, such as access to high-quality medical care. Public and private institutions often use incentives to focus the efforts of private actors towards specified goals; incentives can also be calibrated to mitigate health disparities through a health equity entrepreneurial model.

To understand the possibilities and complications of this model of health equity-focused entrepreneurship, this Article uses the Black and American Indian maternal mortality and morbidity crises as a …

Why The Supreme Court Rejected The Prospect Theory Of Copyright Scope, Michael W. Carroll

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

In Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. (“Google v. Oracle”), and again in Andy Warhol Found. for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith (“Warhol”), the parties and various amici presented the Court with a variety of arguments about the relationship between a copyright owner's right to make derivative works from a protected work and a user's right to make fair uses of that same work. At bottom, these arguments were about the proper, or even optimal, scope of copyright. This Essay argues that these arguments were instead grounded in a form of ““prospect theory” of copyright scope that would give …

Assessing Thermal Performance: Dataset From An Experimental Study On U-Value Variability, H. Alkhatib, B. Norton, D. Gavin, P. Lemarchand

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

In order to achieve energy savings in existing buildings, there is an increasing need for energy audits and performance checks. In this regard, estimating a building's U-value is crucial, and there are a variety of methods available for achieving this. Heat flow meters can be used to measure U-value in situ. This dataset reports on an experimental campaign that evaluated the insulation and performance of the fabric elements of a building located in Dublin, Ireland. The experimental study conducted on the "Block F" building provided insights into the building's thermal performance by measuring the U-value of various windows and walls …

Theoretical Investigation Of The Major And Minor Losses In Pipes And Fittings, Jenan S. Sherza

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

The present study aims to investigate major pressure losses in pipes and minor losses in certain pipe fittings, such as sudden expansion. Initially, the relationships for calculating major and minor losses were derived by applying Bernoulli's equation to the studied components. Flow velocity, pipe diameter, and pipe length effects on major losses were examined. Additionally, the impact of velocity on minor losses in sudden expansion was analysed. The results demonstrated that major losses, represented by friction, significantly vary with changes in flow velocity, pipe diameter, and pipe length. It was found that increasing the pipe diameter by 200% leads to …

Review Of The Non-Concentrating Solar Cookers With Innovative Absorber Plates Designs, Suhaib J. Shbailat, Salwa Bouadila

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

Preparation of meals has been named as one of the leading factors that affect the consumption of energy consumed globally as well as global emissions of greenhouse gases. Still due to these reasons that solar cooking is cheap and can be done at large scale, it is appropriate. To discuss the plan of cheap solar cookers, this paper gives an introduction of them, namely; box cooker with or without. In a free and natural way without panels, funnels or reflectors. Other designs that encompass virtually all kinds of the solar cooker also included are Fresnel, indirect, and parabolic-dish and parabolic-trough …

Numerical Analysis Of Dual-Fuel Diesel Engines In Compression Ignition Engines: A Review, Mahmoud A. Awaga, Gomaa A. A, Ahmed O. Moaaz, Nouby M. Ghazaly

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

Hydrogen gas is currently used in many daily uses because of its chemical properties that help in combustion and energy generation processes. Hydrogen can be easily used in diesel engines without major design modifications. In additions, its high flame velocity and calorific value make it a desirable option for dual-fuel mode in diesel engines. The trend in developing car engines has become to use alternative fuels to diesel and gasoline. The types of injections currently used, their development technology in diesel engines, and the advantages of using them to develop and raise engine efficiency are discussed. A complete study is …

Heat Transfer Investigation Inside Heated Pipes Of Different Cross-Sections, Faik Hamad, Kayser A. Ameen

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

This research examines the thermal transfer efficiency in pipes including various cross-sectional geometries, such as circular, square, and triangular shapes. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology was used to model flow conditions and examine heat transfer and turbulence intensities under consistent boundary conditions. The results indicate substantial variations in thermal and flow characteristics across the geometries. Circular pipes provide greater convective heat transfer efficiency and minimum temperature gradients, but square and triangular pipes show more turbulence accompanied by a higher pressure drop. These insights may guide the design of efficient piping systems for many technical applications, including HVAC, chemical processing, …
