Special Section: Media Industries and Engagement: Introduction

The aim of this special section is to critically analyse the complex issues at workin understanding the theories, processes and practices of engagement as itrelates to media industries. There is a need to open up the notion of engagementas a concept that captures subjective and shifting relations with media. In sucha way, this section focuses on media engagement within the industry as multifaceted

Museums and Heritage Collections in the Cultural Economy : The Challenge of Addressing Wider Audiences and Local Communities

Although more museums are opening now than at any time in the past, too little attention has been paid to the concrete ways in which cultural processes of commoditisation affect heritage production. How can collections speak to wider audiences as well as to local communities in ways that are economically sustainable? This is not a question that invites simple solutions. Turning to ethnographic fie

Microsporidia in a woodland pool I. Lanatospora costata sp. n. (opisthosporidia, microsporidia), parasite of megacyclops viridis (Crustacea, Copepoda) : Fine structure and molecular phylogeny

Lanatospora costata sp. n., a new microsporidian parasite of the adipose and connective tissue cells of Megacyclops viridis (Jurine, 1820) (Copepoda: Cyclopidae) is described. It was isolated from a woodland pool with a rich and diverse fauna of microsporidiainfected small crustaceans and insect larvae. The parasite is structurally similar to the genus Lanatospora Voronin, 1989, characterized by a

Film cooling effects on the tip flow characteristics of a gas turbine blade

An experimental investigation of the tip flow characteristics between a gas turbine blade tip and the shroud was conducted by a pressure-test system and a particle image velocimetry (PIV) system. A three-times scaled profile of the GE-E3 blade with five film cooling holes was used as specimen. The effects on flow characteristics by the rim width and the groove depth of the squealer tip were reveal

Strategy for improved NH2 detection in combustion environments using an Alexandrite laser

A new scheme for NH2 detection by means of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) with excitation around wavelength 385 nm, accessible using the second harmonic of a solid-state Alexandrite laser, is presented. Detection of NH2 was confirmed by identification of corresponding lines in fluorescence excitation spectra measured in premixed NH3-air flames and on NH2 radicals generated through NH3 photolysis

Syntactic Representations Considered for Frame-Semantic Analysis

We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for FrameNet-based semantic analysis of English text. We compare analyzers based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one with a smaller set. Our study demonstrates that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performance, and

Effects of the mainstream turbulence intensity and slot injection angle on the endwall cooling and phantom cooling of the vane suction side surface

In order to obtain better performance, gas turbines always operate with high inlet temperature. This contributes to a high level of thermal load on the first stage vane endwall. To ensure safe operation of a gas turbine within a proper temperature range, the cooling performance of the vane endwall must be further investigated. In the present study, effects of the mainstream turbulence and upstream

Lp-PLA2 activity and mass for prediction of incident abdominal aortic aneurysms : A prospective longitudinal cohort study

Background and aims The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) shares several common pathways with atherosclerosis. Prospective clinical plasma biomarker studies in AAA have been hampered by the need for very large cohorts and long follow-up time. Methods We analyzed a prospective longitudinal cohort of middle-aged individuals from the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer st

Multi-species PLIF study of the structures of turbulent premixed methane/air jet flames in the flamelet and thin-reaction zones regimes

Simultaneously planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) measurements of OH, CH, CH2O and toluene are carried out to investigate the structures of turbulent premixed methane/air jet flames in the flamelet regime and the thin-reaction zones regime. A premixed flame jet burner of an inner diameter of 1.5 mm is employed. Stoichiometric methane/air mixtures introduced as a jet are ignited and stabilize

Aortic diameter at age 65 in men with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes

Objectives. Type 2 diabetes mellitus has been linked to a decreased risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm (aortic diameter ≥30 mm, AAA) development in men. The aim of this study was to evaluate if such an effect is detectable already around the time of diabetes diagnosis. Design. We cross-sectionally compared aortic diameter at ultrasound screening for AAA in 691 men aged 65 years with incipient or n

Fast hyperbolic Radon transform represented as convolutions in log-polar coordinates

The hyperbolic Radon transform is a commonly used tool in seismic processing, for instance in seismic velocity analysis, data interpolation and for multiple removal. A direct implementation by summation of traces with different moveouts is computationally expensive for large data sets. In this paper we present a new method for fast computation of the hyperbolic Radon transforms. It is based on usi

No relation between biomarkers at age 47-49 and aortic diameter after 14-19 years of follow-up - a population-based study

BACKGROUND: Biomarkers reflecting diverse pathophysiological pathways may play an important role in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (aortic diameter ≥30 mm, AAA), levels of many biomarkers are elevated and correlated to aortic diameter among 65-year-old men undergoing ultrasound (US) screening for AAA.PROBANDS AND METHODS: To evaluate potential relationships between biomarkers and ao
