Mentoring in Coach Education: The Importance of Role Models, Context and Gender
(2019-12-17)
The aim of this chapter is to explore the key mentoring experiences of Lois Fidler, a female international youth coach and UEFA Professional Licence (UEFA Pro) holder. In this chapter, we specifically focus upon Lois’s ...
An overview of burst, buckling, durability and corrosion analysis of lightweight FRP composite pipes and their applicability
(2019-12-15)
The main aim of this review article was to address the performance of filament wound fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pipes and their critical properties, such as burst, buckling, durability and corrosion. The ...
Making Positive Family Memories Together and Improving Quality-of-Life Through Thick Sociality and Bonding at Local Community Festivals and Events
(2019-12-01)
Our study contributes to the current research on tourism and quality-of-life (QOL) by investigating Memorable Event Experiences (MEE), as a primary resource for familial bonding and memory creation. A mixed methods approach ...
Thermal performance of a mine refuge chamber with human body heat sources under ventilation
(2019-11-05)
This paper investigated the dynamic coupling heat transfer characteristics of rock and air in a Mine Refuge Chamber (MRC) under ventilation. In the current work, a comprehensive fifty-person MRC model combining human-body ...
A numerical study on the influence of internal corrugated reinforcements on the biaxial bending collapse of thin-walled beams
(2019-11-01)
The Heat Treatment Forming and in-die Quench (HFQ) process allows for manufacturing of more complex geometries from Aluminium sheets than ever before, which can be exploited in lightweight automotive and aerospace structures. ...
Flow characteristics and heat transfer performance in a Y-Fractal mini/microchannel heat sink
(2019-11-01)
This article presents a combined experimental and computational study to investigate the flow and heat transfer in a Y-fractal microchannel. Experimental apparatus was newly built to investigate the effect of three different ...
Developing practical techniques for quantitative assessment of ecosystem services on farmland
(2019-11-01)
The application of the concept of ecosystem services in the context of environmental management of agricultural landscapes is a relatively new and developing topic. There is increasing demand for the delivery of ecosystem ...
Investigation into mechanical, absorption and swelling behaviour of hemp/sisal fibre reinforced bioepoxy hybrid composites: Effects of stacking sequences
(2019-11-01)
This work focuses on the fabrication of hybrid bio-composites using green epoxy as the matrix material, hemp (H) and sisal (S) fibre mats as the reinforcements. The hybrid composite with sisal/hemp fibres were fabricated ...
Hybrid multisynchronization of coupled multistable memristive neural networks with time delays
(2019-10-21)
In this paper, we focus on synchronization issue of coupled multistable memristive neural networks (CMMNNs) with time delay under multiple stable equilibrium states. First, we build delayed CMMNNs consisting of one master ...
Differences of Human Perceptions of a Robot Moving using Linear or Slow in, Slow out Velocity Profiles When Performing a Cleaning Task
(IEEE, 2019-10-14)
We investigated how a robot moving with different velocity profiles affects a person's perception of it when working together on a task. The two profiles are the standard linear profile and a profile based on the animation ...
