Labyrinth Pavilion
The primitive hut, which is regarded as the initial model of architecture, came from humans' desire to survive and be sheltered from the severe weather outside. Architecture lays its root in practical use but when mankind thrives and begins to flourish, the practical use is no longer the only …

The Cochlear Labyrinth of Krapina Neandertals
This study presents measurements of the cochlear labyrinth of Krapina Neandertals based on ultra high-resolution computed tomography. The cochlea, a membranous, fluid-filled structure, houses the sensory end organ of the auditory system. Located within the inner ear, the cochlea occupies a spiral …

Improvement of Labyrinth Seal Leakage Rates Using Additive Manufacturing
… using additive manufacturing to develop better labyrinth seals in turbomachinery. Labyrinth seals have a torturous fluid path with high losses, thus limiting the amount of fluid leakage. These types of seals can be non-rotating, allowing them to better take advantage of the additive …

Solid particles flow through labyrinth channels in drip emitters
Clogging of drip irrigation emitters can reduce the effectiveness of drip irrigation systems. The most common way of studying clogging in a laboratory setting is to recreate the actual timing conditions of on-site drip irrigation systems. However, this requires a clogging period on the order of …

Computational Fluid Dynamic and Rotordynamic Study on the Labyrinth Seal
The labyrinth seal is widely used in turbo machines to reduce leakage flow. The stability of the rotor is influenced by the labyrinth seal because of the driving forces generated in the seal. The working fluid usually has a circumferential velocity component before entering the seal; the ratio of …

Labyrinth Seal Preprocessor and Post-Processor Design and Parametric Study
… the non-uniform pressure distribution within the labyrinth cavity is identified as a major source of this excitation. In order to perform rotor dynamic evaluation of rotor-bearing-seal system, accurate prediction of this force is essential. A visual basic based front-end, for a labyrinth seal …

Taking the First Step: The Labyrinth and the World of Landscape Architecture
… roots, humans have been walking the path of the labyrinth for centuries. From seashores to cathedral floors, the labyrinth is seen as a symbolic search for one's center. The labyrinth has experienced a revival in modern life, showing up everywhere from rehabilitation centers and hospitals, to …

A labyrinth of endless steps : the postmodern city and Paul Auster's urban detective
Taking as its starting point Fredric Jameson's assertion that postmodernity is marked by "a mutation in built space itself," this thesis examines the representation of urban space in Paul Auster's The New York Trilogy and attempts to characterize the effects of this spatial mutation on Auster's …

Hematology-Oncology Transplant Nurses Experience Through the Moral Labyrinth of Integrating Palliative Care
Early palliative care improves the quality of life for patients with hematological malignancies, yet the role of hematology-oncology transplant nurses in facilitating this care remains unclear. This study explored the experiences and understandings of 10 hematology-oncology transplant nurses from …

Large Eddy Simulation of Labyrinth Seals and Rib Shapes for Internal Cooling Passges
… source of loss in turbomachinery. Therefore labyrinth seals are also investigated in this study, attempting to reduce the flow leakage and further increase the turbine efficiency. Large Eddy Simulation ( LES ) is used for its capability to capture the complex unsteady flow features in this …

DEN OF THIEVES: APPROPRIATING AND APPLYING THE COLLABORATIVE IDEALS OF THE LABYRINTH THEATER COMPANY
… appropriate the collaborative ideals of the LAByrinth Theater Company and incorporate them into my directorial process while working on a collegiate production. I gathered a large amount of information from my visit and contact with the LAB and through personal interviews with the Co-Artistic …

A modern labyrinth: socio-legal insights on migration paths to citizenship in the UK
Migration is a deeply controversial and personal reality for many people around the world. Based on this research, one overarching theme that has driven this project is that human inequality is part of modern society’s legacy. Over generations, structures of inequality have been inherited and …

Study of Forces and Dynamic Coefficients in Whirling and Eccentric Labyrinth Seals Using ANSYS-CFX
Labyrinth seal force estimates are important to the prediction of the stability of turbomachinery. The force prediction methods fall into several categories: experiments, bulk flow analysis, and finite volume analysis. Finite volume analysis can be split into two subcategories: self-developed and …
