Axial mixing with spiral-shaped channel micromixer

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2015
Axial fluctuations in carrier concentrations cause detection noise during chemical analysis using flowing carrier streams. Here, we report a method of axial mixing using serially cascaded microchannel units with branches and junctions.

Effective diffusion constant in a two dimensional medium of charged point scatterers

open access: yes, 2003
We obtain exact results for the effective diffusion constant of a two dimensional Langevin tracer particle in the force field generated by charged point scatterers with quenched positions.

Is the well‐known phrase ‘small is beautiful’ true of small transnational education institutions?

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this research is to consider the potential attractiveness of operating a small international branch campus (IBC). Drawing upon resource‐based and legitimacy theories, we examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with the business model that is based on having a small institution size.

Measuring what matters: Evaluating the impact of curriculum decolonisation initiatives in UK business schools

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Curriculum decolonisation has become a prominent feature of equity agendas in UK higher education, yet there remains limited empirical and theoretical work on how such initiatives are evaluated, particularly within business schools. This paper presents one of the first multi‐institutional empirical studies examining how UK business schools ...

Hydrothermal behaviour of hybrid nanofluid flow in a shell-and conical coil tube heat exchanger; numerical approach

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
The present work considers a shell-and-coil heat exchanger, and the hybrid nanofluid's flow and heat transfer inside the proposed thermal system are numerically evaluated. The coil tube has a conical pattern and is oriented horizontally inside the shell.

Smoothing metrics on closed Riemannian manifolds through the Ricci flow

open access: yes, 2011
Under the assumption of the uniform local Sobolev inequality, it is proved that Riemannian metrics with an absolute Ricci curvature bound and a small Riemannian curvature integral bound can be smoothed to having a sectional curvature bound.

“Bionopoly” as a Gamechanger? Effects of Gamification on Learning Success, Motivation and Activation Among Medical Students in a Biochemistry Course

open access: yesBiochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gamification is characterized by the use of gaming elements in a non‐gaming context. This concept is commonly applied in teaching to create a more meaningful and activating learning environment. The major aim of this study was to compare possible effects of gamification on a traditional interactive teaching concept in a biochemistry course on ...

EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS OF DOUBLE PIPE HELICALLY COILED HEAT EXCHANGER

open access: yesJournal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2016
This work introduces an experimental and numerical study of the heat transfer coefficients of a double pipe helically coiled heat exchanger. It tested for both parallel and counter flow arrangements.
