The hydrodynamic behaviour of a novel flat plate photocatalytic reactor for water treatment is investigated using CFD code FLUENT. The reactor consists of a reactive section that features negligible pressure drop and uniform illumination of the photocatalyst to ensure enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. The numerical simulations allowed the identification of several design issues in the original reactor, which include extensive boundary layer separation near the photocatalyst support and regions of flow recirculation that render a significant portion of the reactive area. The simulations reveal that this issue could be addressed by selecting the appropriate inlet positions and configurations. This modification can cause minimal pressure drop across the reactive zone and achieves significant uniformization of the tested pollutant on the photocatalyst surface. The influence of roughness elements type has also been studied with a view to identify their role on the distribution of pollutant concentration on the photocatalyst surface. The results presented here indicate that the flow and pollutant concentration field strongly depend on the geometric parameters and flow conditions.

In this study a new immobilized flat plate photocatalytic reactor for wastewater treatment has been investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The reactor consists of a reactor inlet, a reactive section where the catalyst is coated, and outlet parts. For simulation, the reactive section of the reactor was modelled with an array of baffles. In order to optimize the fluid mixing and reactor design, this study attempts to investigate the influence of baffles with differing heights on the flow field of the flat plate reactor. The results obtained from the simulation of a baffled flat plate reactor hydrodynamics for differing baffle heights for certain positions are presented. Under the conditions simulated, the qualitative flow features, such as the distribution of local stream lines, velocity contours, and high shear region, boundary layers separation, vortex formation, and the underlying mechanism are examined. At low and high Re numbers, the influence of baffle heights on the distribution of species mass fraction of a model pollutant are also highlighted. The simulation of qualitative and quantitative properties of fluid dynamics in a baffled reactor provides valuable insight to fully understand the effect of baffles and their role on the flow pattern, behaviour, and features of wastewater treatment using a photocatalytic reactor.

While the indirect and direct cost of occupational musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) causes a significant burden on the health system, lower back pain (LBP) is associated with a significant portion of MSD. In Australia, the highest prevalence of MSD exists for health care workers, such as nurses. The digital human model (DHM) Siemens JACK was used to investigate if hospital bed pushing, a simple task and hazard that is commonly associated with LBP, can be simulated and ergonomically assessed in a virtual environment. It was found that while JACK has implemented a range of common physical work assessment methods, the simulation of dynamic bed pushing remains a challenge due to the complex interface between the floor and wheels, which can only be insufficiently modelle

Metabolic programming during the perinatal period as a consequence of early nutrition is an emerging area of great interest. This concept is known as the "fetal origins of adult disease" theory (1). Numerous epidemiological studies published over the past 20 years or so have suggested that small body size at birth and during infancy and, more specifically, intrauterine growth retardation are associated later in life with lowered cognitive performance and increased rates of coronary heart disease and its major biological risk factors, ie, raised blood pressure, insulin resistance, coronary artery disease, and abnormalities in lipid metabolism. The molecular mechanisms that govern this phenomenon in humans, however, are unknown and need to be elucidated.

A detailed study is presented of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector. The reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets is investigated, together with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger. The physics potential for a variety of interesting physics processes, within the Standard Model and beyond, is examined. The study comprises a series of notes based on simulations of the detector and physics processes, with particular emphasis given to the data expected from the first years of operation of the LHC at CERN.

Con el propósito de evaluar el estado actual de la sostenibilidad agrícola de los sistemas productivos con una metodología que permita integrar los aspectos ambientales, económicos y sociales con indicadores que puedan medir el estado actual y la funcionalidad de cada sistema productivo, se realizó de forma interactiva una evaluación de la sostenibilidad agroecológica en 104 fincas ubicadas en diez localidades del municipio de Darío - Matagalpa. Para realizar el estudio se utilizó la h err amienta metodológica, Marco para la evaluación de sistemas de manejo incorporando indicadores de sostenibilidad (MESMIS). Se seleccionaron 12 puntos críticos, de los que se derivan 73 indicadores en total. En el análisis de la información de los datos se e ncontraron fincas más sostenibles consideradas Faros agroecológicos y fincas con niveles críticos de sostenibilidad en los subsistemas estudiados, suelo , ganadería y subsistema granos básicos . De igual forma se encontró que existe equidad en la toma de dec isiones en las diferentes fincas evaluadas. Los resultados obtenidos permiten proponer alternativas viables para las fincas con indicadores bajos de sostenibilidad partiendo de innovaciones tecnológicas inmediatas provenientes de las fincas que tienen alto grado de sostenibilidad siempre que estas tecnologías se adapten a las condiciones de las demás fincas , también sirven para trabajos de manejo y conservación de recursos locales de mediano y largo plazo; y promover la participación agrícola donde sean los mismos productores en conjunto con los técnicos quienes propongan alternativas que se ajusten a las condiciones agroecológicas de cada finca y socioeconómicas del productor

Resumen: Este artículo se ocupa de recorrer los orígenes y el desarrollo de la Facultad de Teología de la Universidad Católica Argentina con motivo del centenario de su creación. Teniendo en cuenta los primeros antecedentes universitarios en territorio argentino en el siglo XVII, el autor se centra en analizar los pormenores entorno al Breve fundacional de 1916 y transita los primeros momentos de la su vida académica hasta el tiempo inmediatamente previo al Concilio Vaticano II.

El actual mercado eléctrico brasileño está basado principalmente en un modelo de producción hidrotermico, con gran predominancia en las centrales hidroeléctricas de gran capacidad y con alta implicación del Gobierno en los segmentos de generación y transmisión. El sistema de generación y transmisión está formado por empresas de capital público y privado de todo el país, trabajando conjuntamente para suministrar energía a la población. En cambio, el segmento de distribución presenta un marco empresarial dominado por empresas privadas. Solo el 1,3% de la energía demandada esta fuera de este sistema, en pequeños sistemas aislados localizados en la Región Amazónica, abastecidos de pequeñas plantas térmicas.
