Tubes or Ribbons? Comparing Texture‐space Visualization for Multivariate Line Data
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Multivariate line data is critical for analyzing flow fields, agent systems, and dynamic trajectories. Embedding secondary variables along spatial paths using surface‐based primitives such as ribbons and circular tubes introduces challenges related to perspective, scale, and distortion.

RELIABILITY OF THERMO-MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT IN POWER PLANTS – ELEMENTS WITH HIGH FAILURE R [PDF]
Analele Universităţii "Constantin Brâncuşi" din Târgu Jiu: Seria Inginerie, 2019 Thermal power plants are complex systems with many inter-dependence links and several critical elements that condition the operation of the whole plant. Failure of critical elements such as feed water pump results in a general shut down of the whole unit.

Green Developmentalism? The Political Economy of Hydropower in India in the 21st Century
Development and Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article critically examines the political economy of hydropower in India since its global reconfiguration as ‘green energy’ in the early 2000s. While an opportune convergence of interests among key global, national and subnational stakeholders contributed to the greening of hydropower in India, this reframing did not produce the expected ...

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...
