Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Transforming Early Head Start Home Visiting A Family Life Education Approach

Transforming Early Head Start Home Visiting A Family Life Education Approach

Research on home visiting shows that Early Head Start (EHS) home-based programs benefit from additional training and resources that streamline philosophy and content. In this essential guide Walsh and Mortensen propose that alignment with Family Life Education’s (FLE) strengths-based methodology results in greater consistency through a model of prevention education and collaboration with families. This text is the first to outline linkages between FLE and EHS home visiting. It explores a qualitative study of FLE integrated in a current EHS home-based program and application of FLE methodology to home visiting topics. This approach will influence professional practice and provide a foundation for developing evidence-based home visiting practices. Online content accompanies the text with videos demonstrating the FLE approach in action and discussion questions to encourage engagement with and understanding of the core material. Transforming Early Head Start Home Visiting: A Family Life Education Approach is essential reading for upper-level undergraduate and masters students in family studies and early childhood education as well as practitioners working with children and families. | Transforming Early Head Start Home Visiting A Family Life Education Approach

Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head

Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head

The intent of this book - the author's goal for you — is to understand the baseless underpinnings of almost all our fears. You read that correctly - almost all our fears - and therefore to discard them. The author has expertly coached leaders and managers in the discovery of examination of elimination of and sustained freedom from fears. We all know people who are charming and articulate but flounder on a stage addressing colleagues; musicians who master intricate scores but can’t play the basics when asked to solo; athletes who choke; business people who are strong until it comes time to ask for the business; people who consistently feel like imposters. We are far better at dealing with external tangible fears than our own imagined ones. We purchase insurance watch the safety demonstrations know how to use the Heimlich Maneuver. But those are responses to rare and often never-occurring emergencies. Our mythical and monstrous fears are daily dark clouds masking our talents no less than depression or guilt. It’s time to realize there is no monster under the bed never has been and never will be without having to check nightly and without needing a weapon on the night table. Picture yourself freed of restraints that you could never properly articulate and were loath to discuss but which you carried on your shoulders constantly a dead weight nonetheless. Essentially this book is for entrepreneurs business owners and those who seek a better position for themselves and their talents but who procrastinate delay and hang back. It’s about isolating and overcoming the internal fears that we generate every day like a geyser triggered by time events or shifts in the environment. We are our own worst enemies and we ignore the practical remedies to escape fear because we use our energies instead on blaming everyone else. | Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head
