A CRS Oedometer Cell for Unsaturated and Non-Isothermal Tests

Introducing a Non-Dichotomous Method for Scoring Selected-Response Tests

The main purpose of this study was to introduce a new non-dichotomous scoring procedure for the multiple-choice test method, called Parledge. The research also aimed to determine Parledge characteristics through a psychometric study comparing it with the “Number Correct” and “Correction for Guessing” scoring methods. There were 35 students participating in the study who were given a vocabulary ...

Isothermal and Non-isothermal Methods

a comparison was made between the experimental non-isothermal a vs. t curves and those calculated on the basis of a previous isothermal study. It was observed that for low heating rates, when the "thermal lag" is negligible, the dynamic measurements are in good agreement with the isothermal ones. Furthermore, for process (I), two mathematical methods proposed for the interpretation of the non-i...

Non-Isothermal Multi-Component Reactive Transport Model for Unsaturated Soil – Some Numerical Aspects

A multi-component reactive transport model, coupled to an existing thermal, hydraulic and mechanical model is investigated. The model is based on conservation of mass/energy principles for the flow and stress strain equilibrium for the mechanical behaviour. The resultant model is coupled to a geochemical model in order to capture geochemical interactions. Numerically, the Galerkin finite elemen...

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
