Measuring nanolitres: Interference contrast microscopy measures the evaporation of nanolitre volumes
No full textThe trend in biochemical analysis is to carry out an everincreasing number of tests, in less time, with fewer chemicals. This is why Delft is one of the places where researchers are working on the development of what are known as Labs-on-Chips. The minute dimensions and the minuscule quantities of liquid involved make for a whole new range of challenges in the physics domain.Physicist Richard van den Doel has been researching detection methods for observing the chemical reactions involved in glycolysis, by means of fluorescence. The reactions take place in wells etched in silicon, with each well having a volume of only three nanolitres. He has also developed an optical method to measure such minute quantities of liquid with a very high degree of accuracy. The results were startling: in the range of these dimensions the rate of evaporation is directly proportional to the circumference of the liquid rather than its surface area
Pemikiran Mark Doel tentang Teaching Social Work Practice
No full textThe author focuses his writing on thoughts of Mark Doel and his colleagues in Module 1 Context of Practice Teaching. The purpose of delivering the Context of Practice Teaching session is aimed at helping education practitioners to become social work practice educators and secondly helping or helping readers learn to become social work practice educators. The author tries to combine their thoughts, especially the Context of Practice Teaching session, with Martin Davies' thoughts about the importance of Clients Point the Way which explains that there are Eight Lessons to Learn. Several things will be discussed, namely objectives, methods and various activities. The first activity is related to models of practice teaching; second is related to prior learning; and lastly related to involving others
"OECD/CSNI ISP 20: post-test calculations and sensitivity analyses by RELAP5/MOD2 performed with reference to the SGTR accident occurred at DOEL-2 NPP"
No full textThe document deals with the description of results obtained by two Relap5/mod2 code version in the post test open simulation of a transient actually occurred in an existing Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), i.e. the Dole NPP in Belgium. The Relap is the well-known computer code developed at Idaho National Laboratory in US: the code is in use at UNIPI since more than a decade. The Doel NPP is a two-loop Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) The concerned accident, following the availability of information of the Belgian owner of the NPP was selected by Organization for Economic Cooperation / Nuclear Energy Agency / Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (OECD/NEA/CSNI) as International Standard Problem 20 (ISP 20). The document describes the results of the post-test calculation submitted (by UNIPI) to OECD after the occurrence of the accident and knowing the measured data.
The accident was originated by the rupture of one tube in one of the two Steam Generators and is classified as a Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR). The accident occurred during the heat-up period for the NPP following a scram: the core power was at ‘decay’ level and the initial pressure was close to the nominal pressure (15 MPa). The activity is relevant because addresses the scaling capability of the adopted computational tools: in this case there is no scale parameter in-between the measured data and the data expected in the reference prototype (i.e. the accident occurred in the prototype)
Nederland en zijn veteranen 1945-2015: een onderzoek naar de rol van de overheid bij de ontwikkeling van het veteranenbeleid en de uitvoering van de veteranenzorg
No full textGovernment has a special responsibility for its military. This research is about the care of veterans by government, parliament and society in the period 1945-2015. Therein the central matter is the development of the Dutch veteran policy (1945-2015) and in which way did the government met its responsibilities? To answer the main question, the theory of civil-military relations was used as a theoretical framework. This civil-military relationship concernsthe relationship between society and armed forces as well as the relationship between government and armed forces. Which roles did parliament and society fulfil in the care for veterans? Using six military missions, we researched in what ways the government met their duty of care towards (ex-)military personnel in practice before, during and after a mission.Until 1990 the government had no definition for a ‘veteran’. The military personnel who were deployed in the Dutch East Indies, Korea and the Lebanon as well as smaller missions, did not have veteran status before 1990.When viewing the period 1945-2015, we can conclude that the government did not meet fully its special responsibility to its veterans.Institutions, Decisions and Collective Behaviou
