One of the most efficient methods of reducing drag on planing craft is the use of transverse step on the bottom of a hull. Applying steps on the hull reduces the contact area with water and as a result, it reduces drag of the craft. Planing craft are able to have one or two transverse steps. In this paper, numerical hydrodynamic performance of the stepped planing craft and its step height effec...

there are different studies in urban literature on the determinants of urban growth, from the theoretical and empirical points of view. the most completed theoretical model is henderson model (1988, 1997, and 1999), which is tested by some empirical studies. as henderson model shows, the set of national product, specialization and technological progress are the determinants of urban growth. usi...

The e-CRAFT is specially designed for songket weaving course taught to certificate and diploma students from Fakulti Seni Kraf Tenunan in their first year study at Institut Kraf Negara, Malaysia (National Craft Institute). The courseware was developed in a web-based environment and overall development process was based on the Dick and Carey's process model and conceptual Instructional Design fr...

It has long been recognised that flight close to a boundary surface is more aerodynamically efficient than flight in the freestream. This has led to the design and construction of craft specifically intended to operate close to the ground and fly 'in ground effect'. A great range of Wing in Ground effect craft (WIGs) have been manufactured ranging from 2 seat recreational vehicles to 500 tonne ...

Craft villages are Vietnamese rural villages with existing craft and non-farming activities drawing the participation of at least 30 percent of all households and making at least 50 percent of the village's total income. Out of the total of about 1,450 craft villages, 228 are traditional villages that have a long history and make products that are unique and typically Vietnamese. Various enviro...

The present study was designed to gain knowledge of the relationship between employees' perceived opportunities to craft, their actual job crafting behavior and, in line with JD-R theory, subsequently their work engagement and performance. Although scholars have suggested that employees' perceived opportunities to craft their job may predict their actual job crafting behavior, which may have co...

Textile craft and textile design have always had an important social, cultural and economic impact on both individuals and societies. The cultural heritage of textiles does not end with the preservation and collection of costumes and other textiles in museums. It also includes living traditions inherited from our ancestors. Furthermore, understanding craft and craft processes are crucial when c...
