Product Innovation Knowledge Transfer for Developing Countries: Towards a systematic Transfer Approach
No full textThe transfer of knowledge on product innovation to small- and medium-sized enterprises and local knowledge institutions in developing countries is expected to be one of the key drivers for competiveness and economical growth, and a part of the solution to environmental and social challenge. In that respect, this PhD study focuses on how the process of the current knowledge transfer takes place and how it can be improved. A combination of literature review and empirical research has resulted into a conceptual framework to describe the complex and dynamic process of product innovation knowledge transfer to developing countries. In order to improve this process, a systematic approach has been developed and operationalized by a needs assessment tool and a design manual: The UNEP Design for Sustainability for Developing Economies (D4S-DE) Manual (www.d4s-de.org). Both tools have been tested in practice by practitioners and have been evaluated by an academic review board.Design EngineeringIndustrial Design Engineerin

Where do we draw lines: professional relationship boundaries and the child and youth care practitioner
No full textThe question of professional relationship boundaries is a poignant one, in light of the many boundary grey-zones that are created by the variety of young people’s needs, practice settings and professional relationship contexts within the field of child and youth care. In order to support practitioners’ development of critical thought and awareness of professional boundaries, this paper applies a professional relationship boundaries conceptual framework to child and youth care work, and the literature is consulted to explore the impacts of boundary violations, influences on individual’s boundaries, cues to indicate blurring boundaries, and key strategies to maintain balanced boundaries

J.C. Painter letter to Benjamin Lundy
No full textLetter from J.E. Painter to (presumably) Benjamin Lundy, answering a request for information about the history and operations of the Underground Railroad. Letter includes details of a story of an ex-slave transported on the Underground Railroad through Ohio and stories of the plight of other fugitive slaves crossing the Ohio River.
Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His "Genius of Universal Emancipation" was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico
In-depth Investigation on Triterpenoid Production from the Desert Plants Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. and Opuntia robusta J.C. Wendl. Prompted by Their Low Specific Methane Production
No full textUtilization of biomass is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore important to search for land and water-use efficient energy crops that can avoid diversion of arable land used for food crops. In this respect, desert plants could become potential crops for renewable energy production by anaerobic digestion as well as production of valuable compounds. The aim of this paper was to investigate the specific methane production as well as the triterpenoid biosynthesis, accumulation, and diversity of whole Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. leaves and Opuntia robusta J.C. Wendl. cladodes. These plants were readily transformed by anaerobic digestion reporting cumulative biogas volumes of 3310.49 +/- 82.67 and 3685.19 +/- 207.74 NmL for A. vera and O. robusta, respectively. However, both substrates proved detrimental for the methanogenesis phase of anaerobic digestion giving specific methane production of only 8.22 +/- 0.09 and 28.88 +/- 2.63 NmL/g VS for A. vera and O. robusta, respectively. The observed inhibitory activity could be related to the high concentration of total triterpenoids in both substrates, 1.87 + 0.05 and 1.05 + 0.33 mu g/mg of DW for A. vera and O. robusta, respectively; these were the highest triterpenoid yields reported for species of the Aloe and Opuntia genera. Therefore, the triterpenoid biosynthesis pathways in these plants were explored. The presence of lupeol is reported for the first time in the Opuntia genus and a fragment from a putative lupeol synthase in O. robusta. Finally, the cycloartenol synthase of A. vera was functionally characterized and uncharacterized oxidosqualene cyclases of A. vera and O. robusta are reported. The results in this paper provide insights showing the potential of discovering new triterpenoids through further exploration of triterpenoid biosynthesis in these species.</p
Turbulent wakes of plates with non-equilibrium similarity scalings
No full textWe have conducted hot wire anemometry measurements of six different axisymmetric turbulent wakes which demonstrate the existence in all these wakes of non-equilibrium mean flow profile scalings and of the underlying self-preservation and non-equilibrium dissipation scalings. These mean flow profile scalings are different from those of all documented canonical boundary-free turbulent shear flows to date, all of which have been established for very far downstream regions
