four-wheeler ownership‚ fuel consumption‚ fuel imports and emissions for personal transportation in the context of India. The paper also aims to measure the rebound effect induced by this policy. Design/methodology/approach - The paper relies on a system dynamics model to analyse the problem. A causal loop model was developed initially‚ which was transformed to a stock and flow diagram. Simulation was carried out to capture the effects of fuel efficiency improvements in the four-wheeler sector of India. Findings

Chapter 2 Crowd Behaviour The existing literature on crowd behaviour involves a variety of definitions‚ descriptions‚ views and explanations. Several of them will be addressed in this chapter to lay the groundwork for the definition‚ focus and aspects that are considered necessary to proceed in understanding crowd behaviour. Crowd behaviour is the behaviour that is conducted by individuals who gather in a crowd. However‚ what is exactly meant when talking about crowds and their behaviour? In everyday

PERTH COLLEGE UHI 12 INSTRUMENTATION OF A WIND TUNNEL PROJECT BEng(Hons) Gaurab Ghosal ABSTRACT The wind tunnel being built in Scone airport is a closed loop wind tunnel. On completion this will provide a much needed facility for education purpose as it can be used by engineering students for aerodynamic evaluations. To conduct these evaluation proper evaluating tools needs to be setup. In this section the possible instruments that can be setup in this wind tunnel has been evaluated with

GROUPTHINK THEORY Groupthink is a concurrence-seeking tendency that can deter collective decision-making processes and lead to poor decisions that induce fiascos‚ (Janis‚ 1972‚ 1982). Janis (1972) defined groupthink as "a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group‚ when the members’ strivings for agreement override their motivation to realistically review alternative courses of action. Janis listed eight symptoms of group think: Illusions of invulnerability

opportunities for young people to develop and hone communication‚ leadership and social skills are massive. When young people feel safe within these groups they are more comfortable about making the mistakes which will allow them to grow. Once the dynamics of the group have settled and people are assured of their roles within the group it is possible to allow young people to use and practice their new skills in more demanding activities. Group work has an essential role in ensuring that young people

Additionally‚ I have further developed my understanding of interpersonal and intrapersonal dynamics through applying concepts into practical group work. On one hand‚ interpersonal communication can involve individuals interacting with public or personal conversation and provides possibility of exploration of people’s behaviour and communication

How do biomechanical understandings influence the learning of and performance in surfing? Problem: The problem with my surfing is my paddling technique. Understanding the fundamental relationships in mechanics‚ helps form a foundation for the analysis of human movement in surfing. The main principle or law of motion I am going to look into is Newton’s Law of Action and Reaction. This law of motion is mainly applied when paddling. It helps me understand how the application of force to my arm
