Bioremediation has shown its applicability for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil and sediments. In the present study, the effect of biostimulation on phenanthrene removal from contaminated soil via adding macro and/or micronutrients and trace elements was investigated. For these purposes three macro nutrients (as N, P and K), eight micronutrients (as Mg, S, Fe, Cl, Zn...

In this paper, a multi-scale analysis scheme for solidification based on two-scale computational homogenization is discussed. Solidification problems involve evolution of surfaces coupled with flux jump boundary conditions across interfaces. We provide consistent macro-micro transition and averaging rules based on Hill’s macrohomogeneity condition. The overall macro-scale behavior is analyzed w...

S.H. Christensen et al. (eds.), Engineering, Development and Philosophy, Philosophy of Engineering and Technology 11, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-5282-5_2, © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2012 Abstract At the beginning of the twentyfi rst century, the philosophy of engineering is becoming its own distinct branch of philosophy. The growing importance of philosophy of engineering cannot be...

population growth and unemployment issues caused to care about entrepreneurship in third and fourth economic development programs. now, after execution of these programs, it is essential to assess entrepreneurship development progress. this article designed to formulate a model of entrepreneurship policies in order to assess these policies. so, a conceptual model formulated with 12 dimensions b...

A new micro-macro computational strategy is proposed for the analysis of structures which are described up to the micro level, such as composite structures. The description of micro and macro quantities is performed on the interface arising from the decomposition of the structure into an assembly of substructures and interfaces. A traction-based version of the micro-macro strategy is described ...

ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, MACRO AND MICRO EMPOWERMENT DIMENSIONS, AND JOB SATISFACTION: AN APPLICATION OF CONCURRENT MIXED AND MULTI-LEVEL METHODS IN THE FEDERAL SECTOR Timothy L. Bailey, Ph.D. Touro University International 2009 This dissertation examined the interrelationship of organizational culture; macro (structural) and micro (psychological) empowerment; and job satisfaction. Specifically,...

Polymer crystallization in manufacturing is a process where quiescent crystallization and flow-induced crystallization coexists, and heat/mass transfer on a macroscopic level interacts with crystal morphology evolution on a microscopic level. Previous numerical studies on polymer crystallization are mostly concentrated at a single scale; they only calculate macroscale parameters, e.g., temperat...
