Investigations on Polydisperse gas phase - Static
No full textThis repository contains sequences of CT images of the two-phase flow in a bubble column consisting of a DN100-PN4 PVC pipe filled with water. As measurement system the ultrafast electron beam X-ray computed tomography scanner was applied in dual plane scanning mode with a dual-imaging frequency of 2,000 Hz. Data containers starting with “SingleBubble” contain image sequences of scans where a single bubble was injected at the bottom of the column using a magnetically operated valve which was open for the time specified in the directory name. Data containers starting with “PolydisperseStatic” contain image sequences of scans where a background flow with 01 to 20 sl/min was induced via a needle sparger in addition to the single bubble (as described before). During each “PolydisperseStatic” scan, the scanning position was fixed at "Hxxx" [mm]. The HDF5 files hold the reconstructed image data (dataset “reco”), each images scanning plane (dataset “plane”), and each images vertical scan position (dataset “scanPosition”)
Investigations on Polydisperse gas phase - Dynamic

Data containers starting with “PolydisperseDynamic” contain image sequences of scans where a background flow with 01 to 20 sl/min was induced via a needle sparger in addition to the single bubble (as described before). During each “PolydisperseDynamic” scan, the scan position was adapted to track the large bubble. The HDF5 files hold the reconstructed image data (dataset “reco”), each images scanning plane (dataset “plane”), and each images vertical scan position (dataset “scanPosition”)
From Foucauldian Biopower to Energopower and Infopower:An Interview with Dominic Boyer and Colin Koopman
No full textKirsten Hasberg talks to Dominic Boyer, anthropologist and author of Energopolitics: Wind and Power in the Anthroprocene, and to Colin Koopman, philosopher and author of How We Became our Data: A Genealogy of the Informational Person. Their books published in mid-2019 put forward novel conceptualizations of Foucauldian biopower, which they term infopower and energopower, respectively. Criss-crossing between philosophical conceptualizations and concrete problems like the struggles of renewable energy communities (Boyer) and the influence of economic thinking on datafication (Koopman), the conversations show how Foucauldian concepts are relevant to today's power struggles inherent to the energy transition and the digital transformation.Kirsten Hasberg talks to Dominic Boyer, anthropologist and author of Energopolitics: Wind and Power in the Anthroprocene, and to Colin Koopman, philosopher and author of How We Became our Data: A Genealogy of the Informational Person.

Global history and critiques of western perspectives
No full textThe article discusses the parameters of the expanding field of global history and its wider methodological implications. In a first step the author outlines the rising interest in transcultural and global history that can be observed in many parts of the world. In this context different approaches to global history as well as alternative methodologies and periodizations are discussed. In a second step the author reflects upon the possibilities and challenges for global history in an age in which universalism and Eurocentrism have long come under attack from many different directions. The article discusses dependency theory and subaltern studies as two very different precursors to the current critiques of Eurocentrism. The impact and legacy of such schools, the author argues, cannot be ignored by global historians, even though they do not need to get directly involved in these academic discourses. The piece ends with scenarios for multipolar and pluralistic perspectives on the past
The urgency of doing: evaluating the validity of an implementation and sustainability measure for school-wide prevention programs
No full textSchool-based prevention and promotion interventions (SBPPI) teach students how to recognize and manage emotions, solve problems effectively, establish positive relationships with others, and develop prosocial attitudes. When implemented effectively, SBPPI have been shown to improve desirable outcomes (e.g., commitment to community, standardized achievement test scores, and attendance) and to reduce undesirable outcomes (e.g., suspensions, drug and alcohol use, and aggressive and violent behavior). Unfortunately, our understanding of how to effectively implement and sustain SBPPI outside of well-controlled conditions is lacking. In order to help build a science of implementation and sustainability, this thesis presents a conceptual framework and a measurement tool for effective SBPPI implementation. The framework differentiates among various phases of implementation, ecological levels surrounding implementation in schools, and factors in the system of implementation that facilitate fidelity and sustainability. This framework is measured by the “Schools Implementing Towards Sustainability” (SITS) scale, which is designed to be “user-friendly” in field settings by being viable and scalable. Analyses from a diverse sample of 157 schools implementing Social-Emotional Character Development (SECD), a type of SBPPI, reveal that the SITS has good reliability, good concurrent and construct validity, and promising predictive validity. The findings of the SITS may help advance both the science of school-based interventions and the science of implementation and dissemination as a whole by demonstrating how to bridge the science/“real world” gap.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Dominic C.
