Re-imagining the Research Process : Conventional and Alternative Metaphors
This book offers a unique solution to the shortage of more imaginative and engaging research by re-imagining the core elements of the research process. In contrast to existing methods, which mainly focus on standard ingredients in the research process, the metaphorical approach taken here offers a more varied and comprehensive platform for producing novel, influential and relevant research.The set of guiding principles suggested in the book provides researchers with the resources to break away from existing conventions and templates for conducting and writing research. Re-imagining the Research Process: Conventional and Alternative Metaphors is suitable for upper-undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers interested in challenging traditional views of the research process. Mats Alvesson holds a chair in the Business Administration department at Lund University in Sweden and is also a part-time professor at University of Queensland Business School, Australia and at Cass Business School, UK. Jorgen Sandberg is Professor at UQ Business School, University of Queensland, Australia, and Distinguished Research Environment Professor in Organization Studies at the Warwick Business School, UK.

Conventional Flowmeters : Volume II
Conventional Flowmeters covers origin, principle of operation, development, advantages and disadvantages, applications, and frontiers of research for conventional technology flowmeters, which include differential pressure and primary elements, positive displacement, turbine, open channel, and variable area. There are more conventional technology meters being used in the field than new-technology meters.New developments, such as more accurate pressure transmitters, new primary elements such as cone elements, reversible flow, and dual rotor turbine meters, and variable area meters with transmitters and a signal output, are discussed. Features:Offers a working knowledge of the origin and development of the more traditional technology flowmeters: differential pressure and primary elements, positive displacement, turbine, open channel, and variable areaDescribes how these conventional meters still fit into what is being called Industry 4.0Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of conventional technology meters and provides a rationale for retaining or replacing these metersFocuses on the origin, development operating principles, and applications for the metersExplores the development of each conventional flowmeter type, including the roles of companies such as Siemens, ABB, Emerson, Foxboro, KROHNE, and Endress+HauserThis book is designed for anyone involved with flowmeters and instrumentation, including product and marketing managers, strategic planners, application engineers, and distributors.

Is conventional sunscreen toxic to cats?
Yes, conventional sunscreen can be toxic to cats. This is because many sunscreens contain ingredients like zinc oxide, which can be harmful if ingested by cats. Cats are known to groom themselves, so if they come into contact with sunscreen and ingest it while grooming, it can lead to toxicity. It is important to use pet-safe sunscreens or keep cats away from areas where conventional sunscreen has been applied.

To what extent is language conventional?
Language is largely conventional in that it relies on agreed-upon rules and structures for communication. The meanings of words and the grammar of a language are determined by the conventions of the community that uses it. However, there is also a degree of flexibility and creativity in language use, as speakers can create new words, phrases, and meanings within the framework of the conventions. Therefore, while language is largely conventional, it also allows for individual expression and innovation.
