Second Law Analysis for the Experimental Performances of a Cold Heat Exchanger of a Stirling Refrigeration Machine

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
The second law of thermodynamics is applied to evaluate the influence of entropy generation on the performances of a cold heat exchanger of an experimental Stirling refrigeration machine by means of three factors: the entropy generation rate N S

The We‐Relationship as a Key to Addressing Dementia‐Related Ambiguous Loss

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pauline Boss describes the challenges faced by people caring for family members with dementia in terms of ambiguous loss – a condition in which the physical presence of the person with dementia coexists with their psychological absence. This article proposes the concept of we‐relationship as a key to addressing dementia‐related ambiguous loss.

The myth of the high-efficiency external-combustion Stirling engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The reported discrepancy between theory and experiment for external combustion Stirling engines is explained by the addition of thermal resistance of the combustion gasses to the standard Carnot model. In these cases, the Stirling engine ideal efficiency

Delousing performance of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): seasonal consistency and the challenge of cryptic lice for lumpfish. [PDF]

open access: yesPest Manag Sci
Ballan wrasse and lumpfish effectively reduce sea lice on salmon year round, although lumpfish struggle with cryptic lice, highlighting new considerations for lice management. Abstract BACKGROUND Cleaner fish play a crucial role in controlling caligid sea lice in Atlantic salmon aquaculture across the North Atlantic.

Grouped Stakeholders' Journeys: A Dynamic Social Impact Theory Perspective

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While customer journey research is proliferating, acumen of the broader stakeholder journey (SJ), which addresses any stakeholder's (e.g., an employee's, supplier's, or customer's) journey with the firm, remains more nascent. In particular, understanding of the role of psychological mechanisms in shaping collective or grouped stakeholders ...
