What is the progress in hydraulic research? What are the new methods used in modeling of transport of momentum, matter and heat in both open and conduit channels? What new experimental methods, instruments, measurement techniques, and data analysis routines are used in top class laboratory and field hydro-environment studies? How to link novel findings in fundamental hydraulics with the investigations of environmental issues? The consecutive 32nd International School of Hydraulics that took place in Łochów, Poland brought together eminent modelers, theoreticians and experimentalists as well as beginners in the field of hydraulics to consider these and other questions about the recent advances in hydraulic research all over the world. This volume reports key findings of the scientists that took part in the meeting. Both state of the art papers as well as detailed reports from various recent investigations are included in the book

Free Download Experimental Sociology: Outline of a Scientific Field
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1316515222 | 211 Pages | PDF | 1 MB
Experiments have gained prominence in sociology in recent years. Increased interest in testing causal theories through experimental designs has ignited a debate about which experimental designs can facilitate scientific progress in sociology. This book discusses the implications of research interests for the design of experiments, identifies points of commonality and disagreement among the different perspectives within sociology, and elaborates on the rationales of each. It helps experimental sociologists find appropriate designs for answering specific research questions while alerting them to the challenges. Offering more than just a guide, this book explores both the historical roots of experimental sociology and the cutting-edge techniques of rigorous sociology. It concludes with a tantalizing peek into the future and provides a roadmap to the exciting prospects and uncharted territories of experimental sociology.

Free Download M. Santarelli, "Experimental Activity on a Large SOFC Generator"
English | ISBN: 1604567430 | 2008 | 93 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The Multiscale Analysis Group of the Politecnico di Torino (Italy) is involved in the experimental analysis and modelling of the CHP-100 SOFC Field Unit built by Siemens Power Generation Stationary Fuel Cells (SPG-SFC). The experimental analysis of a large SOFC generator in operation is a complex task, due to the large number of variables which affect its operation, the limited number of measurements points in the generator volume, the necessity to avoid malfunctions in the real operation. As a consequence, the experimental analysis of the CHP-100 SOFC Field Unit has been developed with methods of Design of Experiments, and with a statistical analysis of the collected data. The experimental sessions have been designed in order to investigate the effect of two important operation factors in order to characterise the operation of the single sectors of the SOFC generator, and to obtain the sensitivity maps of the main investigated dependent variables. Furthermore, the main result is the estimation of the local values of fuel utilisation of the various sectors of the generator, through the combination of the experimental voltage sensitivity analysis to overall FC and an analytical model of polarisation, to outline the distribution of fuel inside the generator. Finally, the sectors of the generator, of different pedigree and position, are compared in terms of the polarization effects, showing how the local fuel utilisation and temperature affect the estimated local anode exchange current density values.

Free Download Statistics And Experimental Design For Psychologists: A Model Comparison Approach
English | 2018 | ISBN: 178634064X | 471 Pages | PDF (True) | 16 MB
This is the first textbook for psychologists which combines the model comparison method in statistics with a hands-on guide to computer-based analysis and clear explanations of the links between models, hypotheses and experimental designs. Statistics is often seen as a set of cookbook recipes which must be learned by heart. Model comparison, by contrast, provides a mental roadmap that not only gives a deeper level of understanding, but can be used as a general procedure to tackle those problems which can be solved using orthodox statistical methods.Statistics and Experimental Design for Psychologists focusses on the role of Occam’s principle, and explains significance testing as a means by which the null and experimental hypotheses are compared using the twin criteria of parsimony and accuracy. This approach is backed up with a strong visual element, including for the first time a clear illustration of what the F-ratio actually does, and why it is so ubiquitous in statistical testing.The book covers the main statistical methods up to multifactorial and repeated measures, ANOVA and the basic experimental designs associated with them. The associated online supplementary material extends this coverage to multiple regression, exploratory factor analysis, power calculations and other more advanced topics, and provides screencasts demonstrating the use of programs on a standard statistical package, SPSS.Of particular value to third year undergraduate as well as graduate students, this book will also have a broad appeal to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the scientific method.

Free Download Alex Wiegmann, "Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Lying"
English | ISBN: 1350377805 | 2025 | 296 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Lying is a familiar and morally important phenomenon. No matter if it is in election battles, in personal relationships or in the form of fake news – lying affects us almost every day. Showcasing cutting-edge research on the concept of lying, including work on blatant falsehoods, children’s concept of lying and deception in the courtroom, this interdisciplinary collection examines what it means to lie and how lying should be defined.

Free Download Theoretical, Experimental, and Numerical Contributions to the Mechanics of Fluids and Solids: A collection of papers in honor of Paul M. Naghdi By James Casey, Marcel J. Crochet (auth.), James Casey, Marcel J. Crochet (eds.)
1995 | 852 Pages | ISBN: 3034899548 | PDF | 19 MB
This special issue of ZAMP is published to honor Paul M. Naghdi for his contributions to mechanics over the last forty years and more. It is offered in celebration of his long, productive career in continuum mechan ics; a career which has been marked by a passion for the intrinsic beauty of the subject, an uncompromising adherence to academic standards, and an untiring devotion to our profession. Originally, this issue was planned in celebration of Naghdi’s 70th birthday, which occurred on 29 March 1994. But, as the papers were being prepared for the press, it became evident that the illness from which Professor Naghdi had been suffering during recent months was extremely serious. On 26 May 1994, a reception took place in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Berkeley, at which Naghdi received The Berkeley Citation (which is given in lieu of an honorary degree) and where he was also presented with the Table of Contents of the present collection. Subse quently, he had the opportunity to read the papers in manuscript form. He was very touched that his colleagues had chosen to honor him with their fine contributions. The knowledge that he was held in such high esteem by his fellow scientists brought a special pleasure and consolation to him in his last weeks. On Saturday evening, 9 July 1994, Paul Naghdi succumbed to the lung cancer which he had so courageously endured.

"Natural Gas Hydrates: Experimental Techniques and Their Applications" attempts to broadly integrate the most recent knowledge in the fields of hydrate experimental techniques in the laboratory. The book examines various experimental techniques in order to provide useful parameters for gas hydrate exploration and exploitation. It provides experimental techniques for gas hydrates, including the detection techniques, the thermo-physical properties, permeability and mechanical properties, geochemical abnormalities, stability and dissociation kinetics, exploitation conditions, as well as modern measurement technologies etc. This book will be of interest to experimental scientists who engage in gas hydrate experiments in the laboratory, and is also intended as a reference work for students concerned with gas hydrate research. Yuguang Ye is a distinguished professor of Experimental Geology at Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology, China Geological Survey, China. Professor Changling Liu works at the Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology, China Geological Survey, China.
