Pressure drop in capsule transporting pipeline carrying spherical capsules. (2011)
Presentation / Conference
ASIM, T., MISHRA, R., SAQIB, M. and UBBI, K. 2011. Pressure drop in capsule transporting pipeline carrying spherical capsules. Presented at 38th National conference on fluid mechanics and fluid power 2011 (NCFMFP 2011), 15-17 December 2011, Bhopal, India.

Design parameters of hydraulic pipelines in which capsules flow can be developed if pressure drops (∆P/L)m are known. Designers are in need of a general correlation to calculate pressure drop. Researchers, so far, have used rather simplified empirica... Read More about Pressure drop in capsule transporting pipeline carrying spherical capsules..

Suburbanomics: creativity and innovation at the edge. (2011)
Presentation / Conference
MACDONALD, S. 2011. Suburbanomics: creativity and innovation at the edge. Presented at one of the Future development of suburbs lectures: international approaches, ideas and experiences combined with national knowledge, December 2011, Helsinki, Finland.

The basis of this paper is that we have prioritised the city centre and its planning sometimes to the impoverishment of the suburbs or outlying areas, despite the fact that most of us live there.
