Large industrial facilities and power plants often require a huge number fo information and control cables between the differnet structures. These I&C-cables can be routed in reinforced concrete cable ducts or in isolated buried cable runs. KTA 2206 is the German lightning protection standard for nuclear power plants. During the last several years considerable effort has been made to revise this standard. Despite the well established principles and design guidelines for the construction of the lightning protection system, this standard puts special emphasis on the coupling of transient overvoltages to I&C-cables.
For the application of the concept of Lightning Protection Zones (LPZ), the knowledge of the magnetic fields and induced voltages inside a structure is necessary. Laboratory experiments have been conducted at a downscaled model of a building (scale factor 1:6) to determine these electromagnetic quantities in case of a direct strike to the structure. The model (3 m x 2 m x 2 m) represented a small industrial building using the reinforcement of the concrete as electromagnetic shield. The magnetic fields and magnetic field derivatives were measured at several location inside the scaled model. Further, the voltages induced on three typical cable routes inside the model was determined. The influence of the lightning current waveshape, point-of-strike, bonding of the cable routes, and bridging of an expansion joint in the middle of the building on these quantities was studied.
In IEC 61312-2 equations for the assessment of the magnetic fields inside structures due to a direct lightning strike are given. These equations are based on computer simulations for shields consisting of a single-layer steel grid of a given mesh width. Real constructions, however, contain at least two layers of reinforcement steel grids. The objective of this study was to experimentally determine the additional shielding effectiveness of a second reinforcement layer compared to a single-layer grid. To this end, simulated structures were set up in the high current laboratory. The structures consisted of cubic cages of 2 m side length with one or with two reinforcement grids, respectively. The structures were exposed to direct lightning currents representing the variety of anticipated lightning current waveforms. The magnetic fields and their derivatives at several positions inside the structure as well as the voltage between “floor” and “roof” in the center were determined for different current injection points. From these data the improvement of the shielding caused by a second reinforcement layer is derived.
Explorer CEOs: The effect of CEO career variety on large firms’ relative exploration orientation
(2018)
Prior studies demonstrate that firms need to make smart trade-off decisions between exploration and exploitation activities in order to increase performance. Chief executive officers (CEOs) are principal decision makers of a firm’s strategic posture. In this study, we theorize and empirically examine how relative exploration orientation of large publicly listed firms varies based on the career variety of their CEOs – that is, how diverse the professional experiences of executives were prior to them becoming CEOs. We further argue that the heterogeneity and structure of the top management team moderates the impact of CEO career variety on firms’ relative exploration orientation. Based on multisource secondary data for 318 S&P 500 firms from 2005 to 2015, we find that CEO career variety is positively associated with relative exploration orientation.
Interestingly, CEOs with high career varieties appear to be less effective in pursuing exploration, when they work with highly heterogeneous and structurally interdependent top management teams.
Dr.-Ing. Martin Wolf ; Dipl.-Kaufm. Daniel Ulbrich , Dr. Pecher und Partner Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH, München. 31 S. (S. 139-168). Beitrag zum 1. Aachener Softwaretag in der Wasserwirtschaft < 1, 2007, Aachen>. Zusammenfasung [der Autoren] Die öffentlichen Kanalnetze Deutschlands stellen mit einem Wert von rd. 330 Mrd. € ein enormes Anlagevermögen dar. Auf Grund des oft schlechten Zustandes und geringer Ausgaben zur Instandhaltung und Erneuerung ist zu erwarten, dass durch die gegenwärtige Sanierungspraxis eher ein Substanzwertverzehr des Kanalnetzes als ein Substanzwerterhalt im Sinne des Generationenvertrages erzielt wird. Für einen nachhaltigen Betrieb und Erhalt der Kanalnetze sind deshalb Sanierungsstrategien erforderlich, die neben den technischen und gesetzlichen Anforderungen auch den mittel- und langfristigen Substanzwertverlauf berücksichtigen. Dieser wird beeinflusst vom erforderlichen oder durchgeführten Sanierungsumfang, Art und Zusammensetzung der ausgewählten Maßnahmen sowie der zeitlichen Abfolge der Sanierungsmaßnahmen. Erheblichen Einfluss auf den Substanzwertverlauf hat zudem die Berücksichtigung der hydraulischen Verhältnisse sowie der optisch nicht sichtbaren Undichtheiten. Entsprechend ist es erforderlich, die tatsächlich vorhandenen Defizite zu ermitteln und die Sanierungsmaßnahmen sowie eine Strategie zur Umsetzung zu erarbeiten. Da sich gezeigt hat, dass alleine die Einhaltung der technischen und gesetzlichen Anforderung für einen Substanzwerterhalt nicht ausreicht, muss die geplante Strategie im Dr.-Ing. Martin Wolf 139 von 170 Decision-Support-System kokas zur Sanierungsplanung und Strategieentwicklung 1. Aachener Softwaretag in der Wasserwirtschaft Hinblick auf die nachhaltige Wertentwicklung überprüft und ggf. Anpassungen vorgenommen werden. Kurzfristig erzielte Einsparungen durch reduzierten Schadensumfang oder einseitige Maßnahmenwahl ermöglichen zwar im günstigsten Fall, die Anforderungen einzuhalten, gehen jedoch zwangsläufig zu Lasten des Substanzwertes und führen mittel- und langfristig zu einer Verschärfung der Kosten- und Gebührensituation. Der monetäre, am konkreten Sanierungsaufwand orientierte Substanzwertansatz ermöglicht dabei, technische und kaufmännische Gesichtspunkte praxisnah zu verknüpfen und den bestmöglichen Ausgleich zwischen den gegenläufigen Zielen Substanzwerterhalt und Gebührenkonstanz zu finden.
Concept, scientific research and managerial applications of Provocative Coaching, according to the „Provocative Therapy“ of Prof. Dr. Frank Farrelly (University of Wisconsin, U.S.A) in terms of an application of the Provocative Communication Style in specific situations of practical leadership, especially in the role of a coach for their subordinates.
O Perfil Reiss apresenta no resultado uma visão da estrutura dos motivos e impulsos de uma pessoa. O ponto de saída para a análise do resultado é o conhecimento de que os motivos vitais (= valores e metas de sobrevivência) formam a moldura, na qual as competências e capacidades que uma pessoa possui possam se desabrochar de forma ideal. A partir desse princípio, não existe no Perfil Reiss nenhum resultado que se possa classificar como correto ou falso, nem como bom ou mau. Uma comparação entre o resultado do Perfil Reiss e o conteúdo de uma atividade apresentada ou ambicionada dá informação sobre até que ponto a capacidade de rendimento de uma pessoa nessa posição pode vir ou virá a se desenvolver por um longo tempo.
