No full textAcknowledges letter from Carson, see Item csudh_rsp_701. Takeuchi confirms selling flumes and pipes and states that buildings were not sold to Farm Product Company. Letter refers to personal property, buildings on land to rent and an assumed current tenant, Julian Rodriguez who he believes still occupies a building. Letter also asks for Carson to check a garage to survey it's contents; a foreman will not let a Mr. Wright check the items. Takeuchi sketches buildings on the leased land for Mr. Carson's use

Effect of the annealing treatment on structural and transport properties of thermoelectric Smy(FexNi1-x)4Sb12thin films
No full textThe crystallographic and transport properties of thin films fabricated by pulsed laser deposition and belonging to the Sm- y (Fe x Ni1-x )(4)Sb-12 filled skutterudite system were studied with the aim to unveil the effect exerted by temperature and duration of thermal treatments on structural and thermoelectric features. The importance of annealing treatments in Ar atmosphere up to 523 K was recognized, and the thermal treatment performed at 473 K for 3 h was selected as the most effective in improving the material properties. With respect to the corresponding bulk compositions, a significant enhancement in phase purity, as well as an increase in electrical conductivity and a drop in room temperature thermal conductivity, were observed in annealed films. The low thermal conductivity, in particular, can be deemed as deriving from the reduced dimensionality and the consequent substrate/film interfacial stress, coupled with the nanometric grain size

No full textEffect of Different Processing Routes on the Power Factor of the Filled Skutterudite Sm (Fe Ni ) Sb (x = 0.50-0.80; y = 0.12-0.53)
No full textThe effect of varying the applied pressure during the processing by spark plasma sintering (SPS) of samples belonging to the Smy(FexNi1-x)4Sb12 system has been investigated by evaluating the power factor of the obtained filled skutterudite. A strong dependence of both the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient on the applied pressure has been observed. The highest power factor was detected at different pressures for the different compositions, being the optimal value 180 MPa for the sample with x = 0.80, and 400 MPa for the samples with x = 0.50 and x = 0.63. Relying on the present results, a possible further improvement of power factor of samples with x = 0.50 and x = 0.63 by enhancing the applied pressure above 400 MPa cannot be excluded
DNS of turbulent channel flow with a flexible square cylinder
No full textFluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem is concerned with in various research fields such as mechanical, aerospace, civil and medical engineering. Their accurate prediction and control are desired. So far, in order to improve the performance of various applications, many kind of research, on the heat transfer enhancement due to vortex generator in heat exchangers, on the drag reduction through the setting of bluff body in pipe-line systems, and on the reduction of flow induced vibration, are conducted. In particular, since the wake of wall-mounted cylinder is a common flow regime in above-mentioned research, the detail of the flow has been aggressively investigated so far[1]. The present study, we pay attention to the flow control using flexible structures in the above mentioned flows. To investigate the potentiality of the control in advance, both high accurate and stable computational scheme is needed so that theactual phenomena including turbulence is well predicted. Therefore, in order to analyze the fluid-structure interaction, we propose aweak-coupling method[2] in which for flexible structures, the rigorous equations of motion are discretized with finite volume method (FVM[3]); for a flow computation, the finite difference method (FDM) is used and the flexible structures is reproduced via immersed boundary method[4]. In this present paper, we demonstrate on the result of flow structure around of rigid and elastic cylinder in turbulent channel flow
Developing countries'participation in the World Trade Organization
No full textIn the 1960s and 1970s developing countries viewed UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade&Development) rather than the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs&Trade) as the main institution through which to promote their interests in international trade. But beginning with the Uruguay Round in the mid-1980s, their attitude changed, many more of them became members of the GATT, and a significant number played an active role in negotiations. The author analyzes developing countries'representation and participation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) as of mid-1997 to determine how developing countries can effectively promote their interests and discharge their responsibilities under the rules and agreements of the new organization. He concludes that although many developing countries are actively participating in the new process, more than half of the developing countries that are members of the WTO participate little more than they did in the early 1980s and have not increased their staffing, despite the vastly greater complexity of issues and obligations. Institutional weaknesses at home are the main constraints to effective participation and representation of their interests at the WTO. To make their participation more effective, he recommends that the developing countries establish adequately staffed WTO missions based in Geneva; failing that, pooling their resources and representation in Geneva; and being sure to pay their dues, which are typically small. He also recommends that the international community place higher priority on programs of assistance in support of institutional development of poorer countries aimed at enhancing their capacity to participate in the international trading system and the WTO -- and that the WTO review its internal rules and procedures to ensure that inadvertently they do not make developing countries participation more difficult.Economic Theory&Research,Decentralization,Economic Conditions and Volatility,Country Strategy&Performance,Labor&Employment Law,Trade and Services,Poverty Assessment,Economic Theory&Research,World Trade Organization,Country Strategy&Performance
