Tungsten transport in JET H-mode plasmas in hybrid scenario, experimental observations and modelling

The behaviour of tungsten in the core of hybrid scenario plasmas in JET with the ITER-like wall is analysed and modelled with a combination of neoclassical and gyrokinetic codes. In these discharges, good confinement conditions can be maintained only for the first 2–3 s of the high power phase. Later W accumulation is regularly observed, often accompanied by the onset of magneto-hydrodynamical activity, in particular neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs), both of which have detrimental effects on the global energy confinement. The dynamics of the accumulation process is examined, taking into consideration the concurrent evolution of the background plasma profiles, and the possible onset of NTMs. Two time slices of a representative discharge, before and during the accumulation process, are analysed with two independent methods, in order to reconstruct the W density distribution over the poloidal cross-section. The same time slices are modelled, computing both neoclassical and turbulent transport components and consistently including the impact of centrifugal effects, which can be significant in these plasmas, and strongly enhance W neoclassical transport. The modelling closely reproduces the observations and identifies inward neoclassical convection due to the density peaking of the bulk plasma in the central region as the main cause of the accumulation. The change in W neoclassical convection is directly produced by the transient behaviour of the main plasma density profile, which is hollow in the central region in the initial part of the high power phase of the discharge, but which develops a significant density peaking very close to the magnetic axis in the later phase. The analysis of a large set of discharges provides clear indications that this effect is generic in this scenario. The unfavourable impact of the onset of NTMs on the W behaviour, observed in several discharges, is suggested to be a consequence of a detrimental combination of the effects of neoclassical transport and of the appearance of an island.
OIL CONTENT VARIATION AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF JATROPHA CURCUS SEED OIL COLLECTED FROM KUMAUN REGION OF UTTARAKHAND, INDIA

Jatropha curcas L. is considered to have originated in Latin America, and is presently grown throughout the arid and semi-arid tropical and subtropical regions of the world. To study the oil content variation and physico-chemical properties of Jatropha curcus seed were collected from various districts of Kumaun. The oil contents of the seeds range from 30-44.4%. The maximum oil content was 44.4% found in seeds collected from Almora, while minimum was 30.0% in the seeds collected from Udham Singh (US) Nagar. The physico-chemical properties of the oil such as acid value, iodine value and saponification value are in the range of 5.75 to 15.53, 90.50-113.63 and 175.20-196.67, respectively. Microclimatic data of different district was also estimated which shows that soil pH ranges from 6.5-7.4, soil temperature vary from 22.2-27.5 and soil moisture vary from 21.3-33.0%. The characteristics of the seed oils studied compared favorably with other research studies.
VALIDATION OF MICROSCOPIC DYNAMICS OF GROUPING PEDESTRIANS BEHAVIOR: FROM OBSERVATION TO MODELING AND SIMULATION

Recent data on the urbanization in Malaysia revealed that the number of people living in urban areas has increased from 65.69% in 2004 to 74.71% in 2015 [1]. Facing this trend, developing urban sustainable transportation strategies becomes an important necessity for the government to improve the quality of life of the citizens. Currently, urban planning activities are centering on walkability to look into how conducive and friendly the urban environment is for walking (e.g., quality of sidewalks, street connectivity, safety of pedestrian crossings, access to buildings and transit facilities, etc.). Hence, the understanding of crowd dynamics while walking and the acquisition of empirical evidences about pedestrian walking behavior in architectural buildings and any built environment is important for the purpose of understanding the pedestrian flow and model validation.
Flavour development in aseptic cheese curd slurries prepared with single-strain starter bacteria in the presence and absence of adjuncts

Summary - Eight strains of Lactococcus starter bacteria were tested under microbiologically controlled conditions for their ability to pro duce Cheddar cheese flavour, For this purpose, aseptic Cheddar chee se curds were prepared with each of the organisms, and the resulting curds slurried with sterile salt and water, and stored at 30 "C for accelerated f1avour development. Distinct though weak Cheddar cheese flavour was produced by the Lactococcus lactis subsp cremoris strain SK Il, but not by strains ASCC457, ASCC50, ASCC 109, ASCC660, ASCC360, or the L lactis subsp lactis strain ASCC381, or the L lactis subsp lactis biovar diacetylactis strain ASCC250. Different starter strains produced different degrees of bitterness, with strains ASCC457, 109 and 660 producing the most bitter slurries. Strains SKII, ASCC50, ASCC360, and ASCC250 produced only slight bitterness in slurries ripened for 15 days, Free fatty acid concentrations in the slurries differed depending on the starter strain used, implying that different starter strains have different lipase activity. Cheese flavour development was slow in the slurries containing only starter bacteria. In contrast, slurries made with the strain SKII in the presence of the adjuncts Lactobacillus helveticus ASCC395, Brevibacterium linens CSCC750 or Lactobacillus casei subsp casei NCDOl51 underwent rapid f1avour development, giving distinct and strong chee se (but not Cheddar) flavours for each adjunct. These differences in flavour, however, cou Id not be explained in terms of differences in the non-sulphur volatile composition of the slurries determined by static headspace analysis.
On weight multiplicities of complex simple Lie algebras

The author introduces the notion of a chopped and sliced cone and shows that the weight multiplicities of semisimple complex Lie algebras are governed by this notion. From this he derives a presentation of the weight multiplicity function as a composition of a vector partition function and a linear map. By virtue of this presentation he obtains structural and asymptotic properties of weight multiplicities; for example a proof of G. Heckman’s theorem on the Duistermaat-Heckman measure is obtained in this way. The author describes an algorithm for computing general vector partition functions and gives an implementation as a Maple prototype. Using this program he determines and states the weight multiplicity function of the Lie algebra so5(C) completely.

Effects of different doses of medetomidine and tiletamine–zolazepam on the duration of induction and immobilization in free-ranging yearling brown bears (Ursus arctos)

We compared anesthetic protocols with different doses of tiletamine-zolazepam (TZ) combined with medetomi- dine (M) for 288 yearling brown bear (Ursus arctos L., 1758) immobilizations with the objective of finding a combination of doses that would provide fast induction with a duration of anesthesia long enough to minimize the need for administering additional drug. The duration of induction time and immobilization was dose-dependent. Increasing the M dose resulted in significantly shorter induction times and a lower probability of giving supplemental drugs. Increasing the TZ dose prolonged duration of anesthesia. For yearling brown bears in Scandinavia, captured shortly after den emergence in April and May, we recommend total dart doses of 1.0-1.66 mg M/dart, plus 62.5-125 mg TZ/dart, depending on the individual requirements for the length and depth of anaesthesia.

A Web-Based Practice Examination to Improve Student Performance Concerning the 200 Most Prescribed Drugs

Background. User-friendly technology has increased the ability of faculty to develop course web sites and has expanded ways to communicate with students. The benefits of technology must be weighed against the resources needed to use such tools. This article provides an overview of the features of WebCT, a web-based educational tool, along with a study that evaluated whether a voluntary, Internet-based practice examination developed using WebCT improved pharmacy student performance on a traditional "paper and pencil" format examination. Methods. A retrospective comparison was made of the number of attempts needed to pass the actual examination, the pass rate at each attempt, and the percentage correct on each attempt between those who did and did not use the practice examination. The presence of a correlation between GPA and the number of times required to pass, and the percent correct were also evaluated. Results. A majority of students (65%) took the practice examination. While there was a trend towards better performance by those who took the practice examination, the results were generally not statistically significant (P > 0.05). No significant correlation was found between GPA and examination performance. Conclusion. Further study is needed to assess whether such Internet-based tools can improve student performance.
Glacial-interglacial variability in diatom abundance and valve size: Implications for Southern Ocean paleoceanography

Antarctic sea ice extent along with Southern Ocean biological productivity varied considerably during glacial-interglacial periods, and both are known to have played a considerable role in regulating atmospheric CO2 variations in the past. Here we present data on diatom absolute abundance (valves/g of sediment) and size over the past ~ 42 ka B.P. and how they link to glacial-interglacial changes in Antarctic sea ice extent, Southern Ocean frontal systems, and aeolian dust flux. Our records of sea ice and permanent open ocean zone diatom abundances suggest a shift in the Antarctic winter sea ice limit and Polar Front respectively up to the modern-day Polar Frontal Zone during marine isotopic stages (MIS) 2 and late MIS 3. In addition to glacial shifts in the Polar Front, diatom assemblages also recorded a plausible northward shifts in Polar Front during few intervals of MIS 1. Glacial periods north of the Polar Front in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean were characterized by higher total diatom abundance, larger Fragilariopsis kerguelensis apical length, and Thalassiosira lentiginosa radius. This is probably a consequence of (1) a northward expansion of the opal belt, a region characterized by high production and export of biogenic silica; (2) an increase in terrigenous input, via erosion of Crozet Islands; and (3) the alleviation of iron deficit by high input of Fe-bearing dust. The larger and highly silicified diatoms such as F. kerguelensis and T. lentiginosa may have mainly contributed in transporting biogenic silica and organic carbon to the seabed for the last 42 ka, in the northern Polar Frontal Zone of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean.
Social Networks and Urban Poverty

This paper investigates the role played by the social relationships of reciprocal exchange and mutual help in the struggle for the survival of the poorest sector of urban Latin American societies, particularly in in the mexican context. I discuss the conceptual definition of the social network, the factors that are involved in its formation and permanence, and the current debate in some Latin American academic circles about the role of the social networks in the fight against poverty. Also, I present the results of research that I have carried out since the early 90s in poor urban settlements in Mexico.
Using the Response to Intervention (RtI) Service Delivery Model in Middle and High Schools

This case study researched how the Response to Intervention (RtI) service delivery model is used within the secondary educational environment. Areas researched included the type of professional development used to introduce and sustain RtI, the amount of administrative support, the use of universal screenings, the type of data collected, and the instructional strategies used at each tier. Three teachers and one school counselor were interviewed using open-ended questions, classroom observations were conducted, and state and student report cards were evaluated for this study. The findings concluded that RtI was successful; however, each school had to look at its resources and devise a plan that best fit the school. This research implies that more studies need to be done on this topic to determine whether RtI can make a difference in secondary schools.
AWARENESS AND PRACTICES ABOUT HEALTH CARE WASTE MANAGEMENT AMONG HOSPITAL STAFF OF A MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL IN BHOPAL, CENTRAL INDIA

Determination of sialic acids in the nervous system of silkworm ( Bombyx mori L.): effects of aging and development

Sialic acids mainly occur as components on cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. They play a major role in the chemical and biological diversity of glycoconjugates. Although sialic acids exhibit great structural variability in vertebrates, glycoconjugates with sialic acids have also been determined in small amounts in invertebrates. It has been suggested that sialic acids play important roles in the development and function of the nervous system. Despite Bombyx mori being a model organism for the investigation of many physiological processes, sialic acid changes in its nervous system have not been examined during development and aging. Therefore, in this study we aimed to determine sialic acid changes in the nervous system of Bombyx mori during development and aging processes. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and lectin immunohistochemistry were carried out in order to find variations among different developmental stages. Developmental stages were selected as 3 rd instar (the youngest) and 5 th larval instar (young), motionless prepupa (the oldest) and 13-day-old pupa (adult development). At all stages, only Neu5Ac was present, however, it dramatically decreased during the developmental and aging stages. On the other hand, an increase was observed in the amount of Neu5Ac during the pupal stage. In immunohistochemistry experiments with Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA) and Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA) lectins, the obtained staining was consistent with the obtainedLC-MS results. These findings indicate that sialic acids are abundant at the younger stages but that they decrease in the insect nervous system during development and aging, similarly as in mammals. https://doi.org/10.2298/ABS160401117S Received: April 1, 2016; Revised: May 13, 2016; Accepted: June 10, 2016; Published online: November 30, 2016 How to cite this article: Soya S, Şahar U, Yikilmaz MS, Karacali S.

Hot and Turbulent Gas in Clusters

Author(s): Schmidt, W; Engels, JF; Niemeyer, JC; Almgren, AS | Abstract: © 2016 The Authors. The gas in galaxy clusters is heated by shock compression through accretion (outer shocks) and mergers (inner shocks). These processes additionally produce turbulence. To analyse the relation between the thermal and turbulent energies of the gas under the influence of non-adiabatic processes, we performed numerical simulations of cosmic structure formation in a box of 152 Mpc comoving size with radiative cooling, UV background, and a subgrid scale model for numerically unresolved turbulence. By smoothing the gas velocities with an adaptive Kalman filter, we are able to estimate bulk flows towards cluster cores. This enables us to infer the velocity dispersion associated with the turbulent fluctuation relative to the bulk flow. For haloes with masses above 1013 M⊙, we find that the turbulent velocity dispersions averaged over the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) and the intracluster medium (ICM) are approximately given by powers of the mean gas temperatures with exponents around 0.5, corresponding to a roughly linear relation between turbulent and thermal energies and transonic Mach numbers. However, turbulence is only weakly correlated with the halo mass. Since the power-law relation is stiffer for the WHIM, the turbulent Mach number tends to increase with the mean temperature of the WHIM. This can be attributed to enhanced turbulence production relative to dissipation in particularly hot and turbulent clusters.
