he regional coastal evolution model Cascade was enhanced to better describe the transfer and storage of sediment. Focus was on the cross-shore exchange of material from the subaerial to the sub-aqueous portion of the beach and on shoal evolution at coastal inlets. Cross-shore material exchange now includes erosion due to wave impact and overwash, and barrier and dune build-up by wind. Cascade was
Background: Despite the fact that old people´s technological needs have been payed much attention to in the last decennium, especially old users of information- and communication technology, technology has not found its natural place in research on ageing in modern societies. Purpose: This article examines to what extent social science research exist in the field of ageing and technology and where
With the attempts to increase power, efficiency and thrust, modern gas turbines operate with combustor outlet temperatures of 1800-2000 K, which are far beyond the allowable metal temperatures. Turbine blades are exposed to these high temperature gases and may undergo severe thermal stress and fatigue. Thus, in order to develop optimal cooling strategies and reduce the heat transfer it is importan
