A Eulerian–Lagrangian formulation is used to describe the two-phase flow. Turbulence is modelled within a RANS (Reynolds averaged numerical simulation) framework. Four turbulence viscosity- (TV) based models, namely the standard k-ε model, realizable k-ε model, renormalization group theory k-ε model, and the shear stress transport k-ω model are used. In addition, a Reynolds stress transport model (RSM) is employed. The models are assessed by comparing the predicted velocity fields with the measurements of other authors. In terms of overall average values, the agreement of the predictions to the measurements is observed to be within the range 20–40%. A better performance of the RSM compared to the TV models is observed, with a nearly twice as better overall agreement to the experiments, particularly for the swirl velocity. In the second part of the investigation, the resolution of the discrete particle phase in modelling the turbulent particle dispersion (TPD) and particle size distribution (SD) is investigated. Using the discrete random walk model for the TPD, it is shown that even five random walks are sufficient for an accuracy that is quite high, with a less than 1% mean deviation from the solution obtained by thirty random walks. The approximation of the measured SD is determined by a continuous Rosin–Rammler distribution function, and inaccuracies that can occur in its subsequent discretization are demonstrated and discussed. An investigation on the resolution of the SD by discrete particle size classes (SC) indicates that 12 SC are required for an accuracy with a less than 1% mean deviation from the solution with 18 SC. Although these numbers may not necessarily be claimed to be sufficiently universal, they may serve as guidance, at least for SD with similar characteristics KW - DOAJ Y1 - 2021 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-37365 SN - 1996-1073 VL - 14 IS - 21 PB - MDPI ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Benim, Ali Cemal T1 - Numerical Calculation of Sink Velocities for Helminth Eggs in Water JF - Computation N2 - The settling velocities of helminth eggs of three types, namely Ascaris suum (ASC), Trichuris suis (TRI), and Oesophagostomum spp. (OES), in clean tap water are computationally determined by means of computational fluid dynamics, using the general-purpose CFD software ANSYS Fluent 18.0. The previous measurements of other authors are taken as the basis for the problem formulation and validation, whereby the latter is performed by comparing the predicted sink velocities with those measured in an Owen tube. To enable a computational treatment, the measured shapes of the eggs are parametrized by idealizing them in terms of elementary geometric forms. As the egg shapes show a variation within each class, “mean” shapes are considered. The sink velocities are obtained through the computationally obtained drag coefficients. The latter are defined by means of steady-state calculations. Predicted sink velocities are compared with the measured ones. It is observed that the calculated values show a better agreement with the measurements, for ASC and TRI, compared to the theoretical sink values delivered by the Stokes theory. However, the observed agreement is still found not to be very satisfactory, indicating the role of further parameters, such as the uncertainties in the characterization of egg shapes or flocculation effects even in clean tap water.

There a several wide spread and/or sophisticated solutions to fulfill this need but they seem to have some flaws. One popular system at the time of writing is an overlay frame that can be placed on a normal display with the corresponding size. The frame creates a grid with infrared light emitting diodes. The disruption of this grid can be detected and messages with the positions are sent via usb to a connected computer. This system is quite robust in matters of ambient light insensitivity and also fast to calibrate. Unfortunately it is not created with the recognition of tangibles in mind and printed patterns can not be resolved. This article summarizes an attempt to create fiducials that are recognized by an infrared multi-touch frame as fingers. Those false fingers are checked by a software for known patterns. Once a known pattern (= fiducial) has been recognized its position and orientation are send with the finger positions towards the interactive software. The usability is tested with an example application where tangibles and finger touches are used in combination.

On that account, policy and research are focused almost exclusively on women – often on the reconciliation of work and childbearing – and social policy at the state level. In our study, we concentrate on men who reconcile gainful employment with elderly care, and we include the company level – a level of analysis often neglected in traditional theoretical approaches and typologies of comparative welfare state research. In Germany, during the last decade, the share of sons who are responsible for taking care of their elderly relatives has remarkably increased. In our qualitative research, we carried out comparative case studies in eleven German companies. We conducted around 60 interviews with male employees caring for an elderly relative, as well as with members of the works councils and human resources departments in different kinds of companies. We analysed which familial, social, professional, legal as well as occupational resources are central for these men, how they cope with reconciling work and care, and which gaps in the welfare system they identify. Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of the caring sons claim not to have problems in reconciling work and care, although they spend significant time on caring. In this paper we try to explain this pattern by looking at their typical care arrangements. We found that while women tend to organise employment around care, men rather seem to organise care around their employment. Given the feminist critique of the “adult worker model” this is an interesting result and needs theoretical reflection. Do men have the solution to the care-blindness of the “adult worker model” without falling into the “cold modern model of care”? Which resources are mainly used in “adult worker care arrangements”? Where are the limits of the approach? N2 - Die Vereinbarkeit von Erwerbstätigkeit und Sorgearbeit ist ein wichtiges Handlungsfeld wohlfahrtsstaatlicher Politik. Vorhandene Studien nehmen dabei vorwiegend die Vereinbarkeit von Kindererziehung und Beruf durch Frauen in den Blick, und betrachten überwiegend staatliche Politiken. In dieser Studie geht es um Männer, die erwerbstätig sind und gleichzeitig pflegen. Wir beziehen dabei auch die betriebliche Ebene ein, eine Analyseperspektive, die in den theoretischen Ansätzen und Typologien der vergleichenden Wohlfahrtsstaatsforschung eher vernachlässigt wird. In Deutschland ist der Anteil der pflegenden Söhne in den letzten Jahren deutlich angestiegen. In unserer qualitativen Studien haben wir elf Betriebsfallstudien in deutschen Unternehmen durchgeführt und dabei rund 60 Interviews mit erwerbstätigen, pflegenden Männern sowie betrieblichen Interessenvertretungen der Beschäftigten und Personalabteilungen von Unternehmen geführt. Im Zentrum standen dabei betriebliche, familiäre, soziale und rechtliche Ressourcen der pflegenden Männer, deren Bewältigungsmuster bei der Vereinbarkeit von Pflege und Beruf sowie von ihnen identifizierte Lücken des wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Systems. Die überwiegende Mehrheit der pflegenden Söhne gibt dabei an, keine Vereinbarkeitsprobleme zu haben, obwohl sie beträchtliche Zeit mit den unterstützenden und pflegerischen Aufgaben verbringen. Im Aufsatz versuchen wir diesem Puzzle nachzugehen, indem wir typische Pflegearrangements herausarbeiten. Es zeigt sich, dass die hier untersuchten Söhne in der Regel die Pflege um ihre (Vollzeit-)Erwerbstätigkeit herum organisieren, während Frauen ihre Erwerbstätigkeit tendenziell nach der Pflege ausrichten. Vor dem Hintergrund der feministischen Kritik am "adult worker model" wird dies näher diskutiert: Haben die Männer etwa eine Lösung für die Blindheit des "adult workel models" für Sorgearbeit, ohne ins "cold modern model of care" zu verfallen? Welche Ressourcen werden in "adult worker care arrangements" vor allem genutzt? Wo liegen Grenzen dieses Ansatzes? T3 - Studies in Social Sciences and Culture.

Although research programmes in psychology and economics have contributed to an improved understanding of music-related behaviour, historically, these disciplines have been unconnected. Recently, however, researchers have begun to bridge this gap by employing tools from behavioural economics. This article contributes to the literature by providing a discussion about the benefits of using behavioural economics in music-decision research. We achieve this in two ways. First, through a systematic review, we identify the current state of the literature within four key areas of behavioural economics-heuristics and biases, social decision-making, behavioural time preferences, and dual-process theory. Second, taking findings of the literature as a starting point, we demonstrate how behavioural economics can inform future research. Based on this, we propose the Behavioural Economics of Music (BEM), an integrated research programme that aims to break new ground by stimulating interdisciplinary research in the intersection between music, psychology, and economics.
