Detailed properties of iron oxide solid propellant catalyst

Hematite represents the most common burning rate modifier used in propellant production. The effect of burning rate fine tuning is obtained even for amounts ranging below 1 wt% of the total composition. Different studies have evidenced a role in ammonium perchlorate dissociation while few data are available regarding its capability to enhance binder decomposition. The acceptance of such ingredient in an industrial environment is based mostly on the verification of few parameters relevant to catalytic action (namely, particle size, specific surface area). The complexity of the iron oxide panorama shows a wide set of features neglected in standard quality check but important for a detailed characterization. Such properties assist in defining a unique fingerprint of the material and can be used for detailed identification of batch-to-batch reproducibility, for new supplier qualification, or for improvement of basic knowledge. The present paper is an extract of a detailed characterization activity performed on different lots of nominally identical propellant-grade hematite. A subset of results is proposed to show some peculiar properties of the ingredients and some characterization methodologies specifically employed for the scope.

The Complaint Procedures Avenue of the IDEA : Has the Road Less Traveled By Made All the Difference ?

• Moreover, the issue categories, success rates, and remedial orders varied rather widely among these particularly active states. For example, the parent success rates were dramatically different between CP and HO rulings in states C and D, but not in state B. Moreover, for the HO decisions, the parent success rate for both ICs and cases was particularly low in states C and E and relatively high in state B, yet for CP decisions, the parent success rate was particularly low in state E and relatively high in state D.
Fracture analysis of strain hardening cementitious composites by means of discrete modeling of short fibers

There are a wide variety of short fiber reinforced cement composites, such as strain hardening and multiple fine cracking in tension. Quantitative material design methods considering the properties of matrix, fiber and their interface should be established. This paper introduces numerical model by means of threedimensional meso-scale analysis (i.e. matrix, fiber and their interface are discretized respectively.), to simulate the tensile fracture including strain hardening and multiple fine cracking. The fibers with specific length and diameter have been arranged within the specimen, and loading tests in analysis have been also carried out to compare with experimental results. It was clarified that the proposed model can be roughly simulated the tensile failure of high strength Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites (SHCC) includes crack patterns. And the effects of matrix strength, its variation and fiber distribution on the tensile fracture were numerically investigated.
SURVEY THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DESTINATION IMAGE , TOURIST SATISFACTION AND DISTINATION LOYALTY

The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated model to examine the theoretical and empirical evidence on the causal relationships among destination image, tourist trait and overall satisfaction, to Iranian domestic tourists’ destination loyalty. Data were collected from tourists of Uremia city and analyzed utilizing a structural equation modeling approach. The results supported the proposed destination loyalty model: (1) destination image directly influenced trait of satisfaction; the findings reveal that the impact of destination image on tourist loyalty is significant. Similarly, the image has an effect on tourist loyalty, which is followed by affective image and cognitive image. (2) Destination image and trait of satisfaction were both direct antecedents of overall satisfaction; and (3) overall satisfaction and trait of satisfaction in turn had direct and positive impact on destination loyalty and destination familiarity, destination image, perceived value, and tourist satisfaction all influenced Iranian domestic tourists’ destination loyalty. The theoretical and managerial implications were drawn based on the study findings, and recommendations for future researchers were made. KEYWORD: Destination image; Destination loyalty; Tourist satisfaction; Trait of satisfaction
The Operational Generation and Assimilation of Continuous ( Hourly ) Atmospheric Motion Vectors Winds with 4 DVar

Atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) have been generated continuously from Multi-functional Transport Satellite 1 Replacement (MTSAT-1R) imagery since 2005, and more recently from MTSAT-2. The near continuous AMVs have been error characterized and used in real time trials to gauge their impact on operational regional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), using four dimensional variational assimilation (4DVar). The use of hourly vectors with 4DVar has resulted in improved temporal and spatial data coverage in the operational regional forecast domain. The beneficial impact of these data on the Bureau of Meteorology's (BoM’s) current operational system is described below. The vectors are used operationally, for analysis in the Darwin Regional Forecast Office and after these trials, the hourly MTSAT AMVs were approved for introduction into the Bureau’s National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre’s (NMOC’s) operational NWP suite for use by the operational Australian Community Climate Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) regional and global models, ACCESS-R and ACCESS-G.

THE MEANS-ENDS PARADIGM : ON THE RATIONALITY OF ACTIONS

We analyze two conceptions of rationality featured in the social science literature, rationality as a means-ends relation and rationality as logical consistency. The former concerns the rationality of actions; it involves choosing the best means to one's ends and is naturally akin to conceptions of utility. The latter concerns the rationality oí judgments, it involves their consistency with other knowledge and is naturally akin to conceptions of truth and probability. We assume that (1) a uniform process of judgment formation is involved in both rational and irrational judgments; it follows that the distinction between more or less rational instances must refer to judgmental outcomes rather than processes; (2) in the moment all judgments are consistent with the available evidence hence all are locally (and trivially! ) rational. Accordingly, we present a relativity theory of rationality whereby any meaningful conception of rationality needs to transcend the local context and involve comparisons of local outcomes with detached (inter or intrapersonal) points of reference.
Relationship Between the Health Perception and Physical Activity of Individuals

This research was conducted to determine the relationship between physical activity and health perception in the general adult population. This is a descriptive and correlational study intended to describe the correlation between health perception and the physical activity of adults. The sample was all voluntary 96 participation. The data were collected by the Perception of Health Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Number and percentile distributions were examined and the t-test was used. Pearson correlation Coefficient (Pearson r) was also used to test the correlation between Perception of Health Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-IPAQ. The socio demographic data of the adult individual showed that their average age was 27.13±2.28, that 62.8’% were female, and that 31,2% were male, 57,3% had completed primary school, 42.7% high school and upper . Of them, 41.7% were married, and 58.3% single. 87.5% had children. 76% live in the city, 24% live in rural areas and 63.5% perceive the economic situation as good and 36.5% as moderate. When the scores of the individuals in the physical activity questionnaire were evaluated, 23.9% were found to be inactive and 76.1% were found to be the least active. In this study it was observed that the majority of participants were physically active. That the less educated, men, singles, lower economic status and lived in the urban area have low health perception scores. In this study there was a strong correlation between the physical activity level and the control center on the positive side, a weak relationship between the selfawareness and the positive side in the positive direction. Physical activity was related to better self-health perception.
PREPARATION OF A LINE SOURCE MODEL FOR PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSES OF DÜZCE PROVINCE , TURKEY

The study encompasses the Eastern Marmara Region where the North Anatolian Fault System, one of the most important active fault systems in the world, has a complex segmentation structure and where two recent devastating earthquakes, namely, Kocaeli in 17 August 1999 and Düzce, in12 November 1999 have occurred on this fault system. There are different seismicity maps for the region with different scales and purposes, thus a lineament map was prepared from ASTER satellite images and correlated with the literature in order to prepare a generalized seismic source map for the region. The prepared map including a database of slip rates, lengths and depth of each segment, along with a homogenized and de-clustered earthquake catalogue and four different ground motion prediction models were used for a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of the Düzce city center, Turkey. A sensitivity analysis in terms of model segmentation and seismicity was performed.
Sacral Anatomical Malformations

Sacrum a large triangular fusion of five sacral vertebrae is found wedged between the two innominate bones and forms postero-superior wall of pelvic cavity. An arched sacral hiatus is usually observed below the fourth or the third sacral spine. The present study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy at Desh Bhagat Dental College and Hospital, Sri Muktsar Sahib. Total 20 dry human sacra were studied with regard to the level of apex of sacral hiatus, level of base of hiatus, shape of hiatus and sacral foramina morphologically. In the present study the most prominent shape of the hiatus was inverted-U (45%). The apex 628 ISSN : 2349 – 1604 (Volume – 3, No. 1, January 2016) Research article Indexed in SIS (USA), ASI (Germany), I2OR & i-Scholar (India) and SJIF (Morocco) databases Impact Factor: 3.835 (SJIF) SMU Medical Journal, Volume – 3, No. – 1, January, 2016 of hiatus was commonly found at the level of 4th sacral vertebra in 50% of sacra while the base was more commonly found at the level of 5th sacral vertebra (55%). The knowledge of anatomical variations of sacral hiatus is of great significance as sacral hiatus is the site of caudal epidural anaesthesia and its knowledge may help improve its success rate.
SO 2 over central China : Measurements , numerical simulations 2 and the tropospheric sulfur budget 3

7 [1] SO2 in central China was measured in situ from an aircraft and remotely using the 8 Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) from the Aura satellite; results were used to develop a 9 numerical tool for evaluating the tropospheric sulfur budget sources, sinks, transformation 10 and transport. In April 2008, measured ambient SO2 concentrations decreased from 11 7 ppbv near the surface to 1 ppbv at 1800 m altitude (an effective scale height of 12 800 m), but distinct SO2 plumes were observed between 1800 and 4500 m, the aircraft’s 13 ceiling. These free tropospheric plumes play a major role in the export of SO2 and in the 14 accuracy of OMI retrievals. The mean SO2 column contents from aircraft measurements 15 (0.73 DU, Dobson Units) and operational OMI SO2 products (0.63 0.26 DU) were close. 16 The OMI retrievals were well correlated with in situ measurements (r = 0.84), but showed 17 low bias (slope = 0.54). A new OMI retrieval algorithm was tested and showed improved 18 agreement and bias (r = 0.87, slope = 0.86). The Community Multiscale Air Quality 19 (CMAQ) model was used to simulate sulfur chemistry, exhibiting reasonable agreement 20 (r = 0.62, slope = 1.33) with in situ SO2 columns. The mean CMAQ SO2 loading over 21 central and eastern China was 54 kT, 30% more than the estimate from OMI SO2 22 products, 42 kT. These numerical simulations, constrained by observations, indicate that 23 50% (35 to 61%) of the anthropogenic sulfur emissions were transported downwind, and 24 the overall lifetime of tropospheric SO2 was 38 7 h. 25 Citation: He, H. , et al.

Evaluation of the ecological niche of some abundant species of the subfamily Platyninae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) against the background of eight ecological factors

Brygadyrenko, V. V. , 2015. Evaluation of the ecological niche of some abundant species of the subfamily Platyninae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) against the background of eight ecological factors. Folia Oecologica, 42: 75–88. Based on the results of 15 years of research in five regions in the steppe zone of Ukraine we have analysed the relationship between species of the subfamily Platyninae and the eight most significant ecological factors for litter macrofauna in forest ecosystems. In the forests of Ukraine Calathus ambiguus (Paykull, 1790) is a typical mesophile, with a slight preference for pine forests. C. erratus (C.R. Sahlberg, 1827) is at its most numerous in xeromesophilous moisture conditions with an average abundance of ants. C. fuscipes (Goeze, 1777) favours broadleaved forests with 40–80% tree crown density, a sparse herbaceous layer, and clay soil with high salinity. C. melanocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) is at its most numerous in forests with a deep litter layer with average soil salinity. Dolichus halensis (Schaller, 1783) is often found in forests with of low crown density and favours areas with high salinity. Anchomenus dorsalis (Pontoppidan, 1763) favours plots with scattered trees, thick grass, mesophilous moisture conditions and low abundance of ants. Limodromus krynickii (Sperk, 1835) inhabits forests with a thin litter layer, hygrophilous moisture conditions and soils with low salinity. Oxypselaphus obscurus (Herbst, 1784) inhabits moist areas of forests with acid, sandy soil. The methods used in this research allow a quantitative multiple level assessment of the ecological niches of different species of litter invertebrate to be made.
Numerical simulations of the behavior of tuned liquid dampers subjected to seismic actions

The use of energy dissipation devices is seen as an efficient way to protect structures against seismi c actions. Recently, Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD) had drawn the attention of the scientific community as simple but effective way to reduce the response of structures against dynamic loads. This paper describes numeric al simulations on TLD isolated and included in simple structures. For this purpose, was used an open acce ss software (CLAWPACK) with potential to simulate phen omena that occur within TLDs. The CLAWPACK corresponds to a set of Fortran routines developed to obtain numerical solutions of hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations, as is the case of the nonli ear phenomena underlying the shallow water wave th eory. In the numerical simulations some key parameters which in luded water height, excitation amplitude and nu mber of devices were varied. The main obtained results f or TLD and TLDs + SDF are compared with the results of an experimental program.
Estimation in a Semiparametric model with Endogeneity

The endogeneity in a partially linear model requires a systematic way to address the issues, since the model has a complex feature. Firstly, the identification of the source of endogeneity is crucial. The endogenous parametric regressor causes inconsistency of both estimators. Although the endogenous non-parametric regressor causes the identification problem of structural non-linear function, the parametric regressor is still consistent if the parametric regressor is exogenous. Once the source is identified, an appropriate estimation method should be applied. In the former case, IV estimation is applicable as in the conventional parametric case such that the rank condition should be satisfied and Hauseman (1978) type of a mis-specification testing is applicable. In the later case, either IV estimation or CF approach can be applied. We consider the CF approach to avoid “ill-posed inverse” problem associated with the non-parametric IV estimation. We impose the triangular structure of Ng and Pinkse (1995), Newey et al. (1999), Pinkse (2000), and Su and Ullah (2008) to control endogeneity in the non-parametric regressor. The generated regressor issue should be addressed since the non-parametric endogeneity control variable is not observable. We show that √ n-consistency and the asymptotic efficiency of the parametric estimator with the generated regressor issue.

3 D FE Analysis of anchor channels and headed anchors under shear load close to the edge

In the present paper the results of a finite element study of anchor channels and single headed anchors close to the free edge loaded in shear perpendicular and parallel to the edge (concrete edge failure) are discussed. For single headed anchors experimental tests and numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the load bearing behavior under arbitrary shear load (Hofmann 2005, Grosser 2008). In case of a headed anchor subjected to a shear force parallel to the free edge the failure is initiated by a splitting force acting perpendicular to the edge. It is a fraction of the applied shear load. In order to account for the fact that a higher shear load acting parallel to the edge is required to cause concrete edge failure compared to a shear load acting perpendicular to the edge in the draft fib Design Guide (fib (2009)) the calculated concrete edge capacity valid for a shear load perpendicular to the edge is multiplied by an increase factor. This factor primarily depends on the pressure in front of the anchor. For anchor channels arranged perpendicular to the edge and subjected to a shear load applied parallel to the edge limited experimental investigations performed by Roik (2009) indicate that the increase factor is higher compared to headed anchors. The non-linear finite element program MASA was used to study the load bearing behavior of headed anchors and anchor channels loaded perpendicular and parallel to the edge. It was verified that for anchor channels the ratio failure load (shear load parallel to the edge) to failure load (shear load perpendicular to the edge) is larger than for headed anchors. This is explained by the significantly lower pressure on the concrete in front of the channel compared to headed anchors.

Health related quality of life and coping strategies of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus attending a tertiary care setting

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a syndrome that results in abnormally high blood sugar levels and is due to the combined effect of hereditary and environment. There is a global increase of type 1diabetes at a proportion of 3% annually in children and adolescents and frightening 5% increase annually among pre-school children. The highest incidences were found in the 10 to 14 years (Swift, 2007). Objectives: The objectives were to determine the health related quality of life (HRQOL) and coping strategies of children with type 1 DM, to find the association between HRQOL with selected demographic variables and to identify the correlation between different domains of coping strategies with HRQOL. Method: Cross sectional study design was used to find out the HRQOL and coping strategies of children with type 1 DM. Sample for the present study consists of 61 children with type 1 DM within the age group of 8-15 years attending Paediatric Diabetic clinic and Paediatric medicine wards of Sree Avittom Thirunal (SAT) Hospital, Trivandrum. Results: The present study revealed that majority of the children (93.4%) had good generic Quality of Life (QOL). Out of 61 diabetic children, 44.3% of children had good diabetic related QOL, 55.7% of children had moderate diabetic related QOL. 67.2% of children had good HRQOL and 32.8% of children had moderate HRQOL. None of the children had poor HRQOL. Boys showed better HRQOL than girls. Statistically significant association was present between age of disease onset and HRQOL (p value is < .05). HRQOL had a positive correlation with cognitive palliative and acceptance domain and had negative correlation with coping domains such as avoidance, emotional reaction, wishful thinking and distance.
