Global challenges in practice: designing a development intervention

...law-enforcement-based approach to environmental regulations. The issues you have thought about illustrate one of the first points to note when designing an intervention: it is essential to be clear about the scope and purpose of an intervention. This is far from being a merely technical issue, though. Instead, it is a boundary-drawing exercise in which the outcome is...

Scales in space and time

...laws of physics govern the flow of fluid from the roots all the way up to the leaves to sustain life. And the chemistry of the cells in those leaves is governed by quantum physics. DANIEL BERWICK I’m Dan Berwick, a molecular neuroscientist interested in the earliest events in Parkinson’s disease. Looking at this tree, I can see it’s affected by disease too. There...

...laws and regulations to prohibit or restrict undesirable practices. For example, under the terms of the USA’s Clean Air Acts, the operators of specified industrial processes are obliged to apply the principal of maximum achievable control technology (MACT) to control pollution. A series of standards document what MACT represents for each industry and, in effect, set the...

Introduction to finite element analysis

...law and strain/stress (constitutive) relations. The major stages in the creation of any finite element model, according to Baguley and Hose (1997), for most types of analysis are: selection of analysis type idealisation of material properties creation of model geometry application of supports or constraints application of loads solution optimisation. It is extremely...

...law’. But it can be possible to design services that are more readily accessible to those who need them most. The Derby community paediatric service decided to tackle ways to improve access for children from the most disadvantaged areas (Maharaj et al., 2014). Added to this, the service monitored how well families and children from those areas were finding and using the...

Introducing engineering

...laws that constrain much of engineering. Making ammonia is not as simple as stirring the raw materials together in a bucket; and understanding the process by which ammonia is formed allows us to make it as efficiently as possible. First, the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen proceeds better at high pressures. If the engineer can provide a high-pressure system for...
