Pools of neglected labour?
Adopting the concept of aesthetic labour (Warhurst et al., 2000)as an analytical framework, this research explores the nature and determinants of the paradoxical co-existence of high unemployment and recruitment 'difficulties' in the local hotel industry. This study responds to Gatta's (2011) plea …

Four Pools | Four Qualities
… The building consists of a series of separate pools that allow natural light to enter through various light wells. Architecture is decided in space by light and shadow. This decisiveness requires the existence of rooms. It is upon the interior surfaces that light and shadow become present. The …

Microphysical Influences on cold pools
… convective clouds to the ground can produce cold pools, regions of air at the surface cooled by melting or sublimating ice and/or evaporation of rain within the downdrafts. These cold pools can propagate outward, sometimes initiating new convection along their leading edges. Models operating at …

Mineral dust lofting and interactions with cold pools
… complex and non-linear interactions between cold pools, dust radiative effects, and land surface processes, and their associated uncertainties in numerical models. In this dissertation, model simulations of real and idealized haboobs are used to address limitations in regional dust modeling, the …

Exercise induced bronchospasm and chlorine in swimming pools
The purpose of this thesis was firstly to review the possible relationship between chlorine in swimming pool water and exercise induced bronchospasm, and secondly to assess whether chlorine exposure during swimming provokes EIB in well-trained swimmers with and without a history of EIB.

Carbon Pools, Dynamics and Budget of the Bruce Peninsula
… there is little research done on the carbon pools, their dynamics and the soil carbon budget. A more comprehensive understanding of the processes regulating the uptake and release of carbon dioxide with the atmosphere is needed. This thesis aims to 1) quantify how much carbon is stored in …

Studies of aquatic micro-organisms in domestic swimming pools
… to submerged surfaces in private swimming pools Samples were taken from two private swimming pools located in West Lancashire, England. The planktonic phase of the water was sampled using a standard fluid grab technique and the submerged surfaces (e.g. the pool lining, the steps and the …

Thermocapillary convection in laser melted pools during materials processing
A numerical study was undertaken in order to understand the complex heat transfer encountered during laser welding of metals. Melting and resolidification of the material occurs when the metal undergoes intense, non-uniform irradiation from a concentrated energy source, such a laser. Motion of the …

Tropical oceanic mesoscale cold pools in observations and models
Convective cold pools over oceans contribute to the atmosphere-ocean exchange of heat and moisture across the globe. Beyond cold pools’ physical properties, cold pools and their intersections are important mechanisms controlling the life cycle of tropical convective systems. However, few …

Maintenance of Swimming Pools in the Secondary Schools of Iowa
… Iowa were maintaining hygienically safe swimming pools. Procedure. After reviewing current professional literature, a questionnaire was prepared. The questionnaire was made up of items involved in adequate maintenance of swimming pools. The questionnaire was validated by maintenance personnel in …

Carbon Pools and Fluxes as an Indicator of Riparian Restoration
… forest restoration based on the various carbon pools/fluxes that may represent restoration success. This study was implemented on the Savannah River Site, an Environmental Research Park, where several riparian forests are recovering from thermal disturbances. The streams in these forests were …

Studies on intracellular calcium pools in a pancreatic cell line
… to identify and characterize intracellular Ca²⁺ pools and to investigate regulation of intracellular Ca²⁺ movement in PANC-1 cells (ductal cells of human pancreatic carcinoma) origin). Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-enriched microsomal membrane fractions were prepared from PANC-1 cells. Ca²⁺ could be …

Fairy shrimp (Anostraca) in the vernal pools of Eastern Washington
<p>Vernal pools are ephemeral wetlands that retain water annually from winter and spring precipitation and snowmelt but are dry the rest of the year. Though important habitats and sources of freshwater biodiversity, they are little accounted for in wetland conservation and restoration practices. …

Modeling Low Flow Hydraulics in Alluvial Channels (pools-Riffles, Open)
… at low stages is the pool-riffle sequence, where pools are distinguished by deep, slow moving water and riffles by shallow, relatively rapid moving flow. Conventional flow models have difficulty effectively representing the highly nonprismatic channel geometry, the rapidly changing flow …

Understanding precipitation, cold pools, and cloud arcs in the tropics
… cold air downdrafts and resulting surface cold pools that are thought to cause the arc-shaped cumulus clouds. In idealized sensitivity tests of tropical cumulus behavior, the environment (specified vertical wind shear and relative humidity) and imposed cooling (meant to mimic initial convective …

Palliative for Savage Energies: Tidal Pools on the Adriatic Sea
… up a bodily encounter with nature. The tidal lap pools, bath halls and paths are fragments, using the energy in line and color to appreciate human experience. The drawings are about the emergence of architecture from the convergence of land and sea.

The quantification and characterization of soil carbon pools in biofuel agriculture.
The shift toward renewable energy resources through agricultural biofuel production provides an opportunity to study and implement sustainable land management practices that improve soil health and a deeper understanding of mechanisms involved in terrestrial carbon cycling. Agricultural land …

Dynamics of downdruaghts and cold pools: an experimental and numerical study
Downward moving cold air within a thunderstorm, known as a downdraught, can be an additional storm hazard, and also prolong the convective lifecycle. An understanding of downdraughts is therefore useful for weather forecasting. Typically, in weather forecasting downdraughts are modelled using the …
