Experimental Evaluation of Distributor Technologies for Trickle-Bed Reactors

In this paper, different technologies of distributors for trickle bed reactors were compared, in terms of intrinsic performance of distribution and resistance to tray unlevelness. γ-ray tomography has first been used, in a large column unit, to visualize gas–liquid distribution just below several tray technologies. Results obtained show a better distribution performance under multiaperture chimney trays, in comparison with gas-lift and bubble cap systems. Then, a specific cold mock-up was designed in order to mimic tray tilt between two tray elements. Sensitivities to tray unlevelness of both gas-lift and multiaperture systems are comparable, far better than the one for the bubble cap system. Multiaperture chimneys have indeed excellent behavior at nominal conditions, while gas-lift technology is interesting for its ability to behave similarly over a large flow range. Considering those results, some guidelines are finally given for the choice of the distribution technology.
Analytical Method for Preliminary Seismic Design of Tunnels

Buried structures are categorized based on their shape, size and location. These main categories are near surface structures (e.g., pipes and other facilities), large section structures (e.g., tunnels, subways, etc.), and vertical underground structures (e.g., shafts and ducts). Seismic assessments of these structures are important in areas close to severe seismic sources. Seismic design of tunnels requires calculation of the deformation in surrounding geological formations. The seismic hazard on a site is usually expressed as a function of amplitude parameters of free-field motion. Therefore, simplified relations between depth and parameters of ground motion are necessary for preliminary designs. The objective of this chapter is to study and review the main analytical seismic methods which are used to develop a simple relationship between maximum shear strain, maximum shear stress and other seismic parameters.
Small‐scale species distribution model identifies restricted breeding habitat for an endemic island bird

Mapped geographical distributions of many birds are an overestimation of their true range and this overestimation is particularly high for threatened species. Due to their restricted ranges, specialized habitats and inability to relocate to other areas, island birds are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic effects on their habitats, but few studies have investigated the suitability of remaining habitat for species restricted to small oceanic islands. Here, we developed a fine‐scale species distribution model to investigate the breeding habitat of the Lord Howe currawong Strepera graculina crissalis. Using 73 nest locations as occurrence records, we found that currawongs nest preferentially near creek lines at lower elevations in the forested areas of the island (maximum elevation of 120 m). Habitat suitability decreased rapidly as the distance to creeks increased, indicating that many forested areas far from a creek line were unsuitable habitat for nesting currawongs. Using a combination of Thiessen polygons and suitable habitat to define territory boundaries, we estimated the average territory size to range between 2.48 ha and 5.23 ha. Using a conservative threshold, our model identified 195 ha of Lord Howe Island’s land area as highly suitable nesting habitat for the Lord Howe currawong, while using a less conservative threshold identified a further 246 ha as medium suitable habitat (441 ha total). Hence, we estimated that the island can support a maximum number of 84 breeding territories. This study shows that the Lord Howe currawong has a narrower ecological niche than was expected, lowering the carrying capacity for this species on the island. As birds on remote islands are often unable to relocate to other suitable areas, it is important to determine the remaining habitat to ensure the continued persistence and conservation of threatened island species.
Slope‐Aspect Induced Climate Differences Influence How Water Is Exchanged Between the Land and Atmosphere

Cross‐slope climate differences in the midlatitudes are ecologically important, and impact vegetation‐mediated water balance between the earth surface and the atmosphere. We made high‐resolution in situ observations of air temperature, relative humidity, soil moisture, insolation, and sap velocity observations on 14 Pacific madrone trees (Arbutus menziesii) spanning adjacent north and south slopes at the University of California's Angelo Coast Range Reserve. To understand the cross‐slope response of sap velocity, a proxy for transpiration, to microclimate, we modeled the sap velocity on each slope using a transpiration model driven by ambient environment and parameterized with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo parameter estimation process. The results show that trees on opposing slopes do not follow a shared pattern of physiological response to transpiration drivers. This means that the observed sap velocity differences are not due entirely to observed microclimate differences, but also due to population‐level physiological differences, which indicates acclimation to inhabited microclimate. While our present data set and analytical tools do not identify mechanisms of acclimation, we speculate that differing proportions of sun‐adapted and shade‐adapted leaves, differences in stomatal regulation, and cross‐slope root zone moisture differences could explain some of the observed and modeled differences.
Corrosion inhibition of galvanized steel by LDH - inhibitor hybrids : Mechanisms of Inhibitor Release and Corrosion Reactions

Le travail presente essaie de comprendre les mecanismes de l’action d’un inhibiteur de corrosion present dans un revetement hybride sous forme de pigments intercales dans les hydroxydes double lamellaires (HDL) pour la protection de l’acier galvanise. Trois etapes cles ont ete choisies pour ce travail : (1) l’identification d’un inhibiteur de corrosion hydrosoluble pour l’acier galvanise avec une comprehension de sa reactivite, (2) la determination des facteurs et des mecanismes controlant la liberation de l’inhibiteur a partir d’HDL et (3) la comprehension des mecanismes de protection dans un systeme modele avec le revetement hybride controle par la liberation de l’inhibiteur et la reactivite d’inhibiteur. MoO42- a montre la meilleure efficacite d'inhibition comparable a CrO42- dans des solutions alcalines et neutres. L’effet inhibiteur de MoO42- a ete associe a la formation d’un film riche en Mo(V). L'effet de cet anion sur la dissolution de l'acier a bas carbone a ete egalement verifie pour exclure la possibilite d'un effet d'acceleration des especes choisies. Les tests de lixiviation ont montre que la liberation de MoO42- a partir d’HDL a ete controlee par la nature des ions echanges a partir du support par un mecanisme d'echange d'ions a un pH neutre et par la dissolution du cadre de la LDH a un pH alcalin. La presence de seulement Cl- conduit a moins de 40% de liberation de MoO42- apres 24 h d'immersion alors que les additions des carbonates ont abouti a liberation de 100% apres 1 h. Les tests d'immersion ont montre leger effet d'inhibition du systeme de revetement dans Cl- et une augmentation dans CO32- en accords avec le niveau plus eleve de MoO42- libere.
Unimplementable by design? Understanding (non‐)compliance with International Monetary Fund policy conditionality

Why do governments fail to implement policy commitments in contractual agreements with international organizations? While scholars have scrutinized domestic factors as obstacles to compliance, we argue that reform programs may be unimplementable by design. We study this hypothesis in the context of International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs, in which borrowing countries must commit to far‐reaching economic policy reforms for access to credit. We collect detailed compliance data on individual policy conditions to assess the determinants of compliance failures of IMF programs from 1980 to 2009. Controlling for a host of borrower‐specific variables, features of the loan, unexpected shocks during implementation, donor influence, and bureaucratic interest, we find that the number of conditions is a robust predictor of implementation failure. Our theoretical explanation for these findings is that over‐ambitious program designs are the result of intra‐organizational bargaining within the IMF bureaucracy. While an area department within the IMF drafts the initial reform program, functional departments use their amendment power to include policy conditions that they care about, without due consideration of local circumstances, which leads to over‐ambitious programs. These findings have important implications for theories of compliance as well as for policymaking in international organizations.
The Binaural Illusion of Wallach (1940) Apparent in Synthetic Aperture Images of the Field of Audition Generated as the Head Turns

Wallach (J. Exp. Psychol. 1940, 27, 339–368) predicted that a human subject rotating about a vertical axis through the auditory centre, having an acoustic source rotating around the same axis at twice the rotation rate of the human subject, would perceive the acoustic source to be stationary. His prediction, which he confirmed by experiment, was made to test the hypothesis that humans integrate head movement information that is derived from the vestibular system and visual cues, with measurements of arrival time differences between the acoustic signals received at the ears, to determine directions to acoustic sources. The simulation experiments described here demonstrate that a synthetic aperture calculation performed as the head turns, to determine the direction to an acoustic source (Tamsett, Robotics 2017, 6, 10), is also subject to the Wallach illusion. This constitutes evidence that human audition deploys a synthetic aperture process in which a virtual image of the field of audition is populated as the head turns, and from which directions to acoustic sources are inferred. The process is akin to those in synthetic aperture sonar/radar technologies and to migration in seismic profiler image processing. It could be implemented in a binaural robot localizing acoustic sources from arrival time differences in emulation of an aspect of human audition.

Validity and reliability of Persian version of the Arm Function in Multiple Sclerosis Questionnaire

Introduction This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Arm Function in Multiple Sclerosis Questionnaire which is a self-report questionnaire for persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Method This methodological study was performed in the following stages: translation, validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability of Persian-AMSQ. The Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT), Coin Rotation Task (CRT), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for construct validity were used. Psychometric testing was done to ascertain the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Results In this study, 155 people with MS participated. There were no major linguistic or cultural difficulties in the translation of AMSQ. Face and content validity confirmed by experts and people with MS. The internal consistency was high (Cronbach’s α = 0.99). Test–retest reliability, as measured with intra-class coefficient, was 0.98. Correlations with 9HPT (r = 0.54), CRT (r = 0.16), and FIM (r = −0.54) were significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion The Persian-AMSQ appears to be a valid and reliable questionnaire for measuring upper extremity dysfunction in MS.
Stress and anxiety resulting from COVID-19 in the Iranian population – a questionnaire-based study

IntroductionThe COVID-19 disease, which has come to be known as Corona, is a new virus from the generation of coronaviruses. The aim of this study was investigated the stress and anxiety caused by COVID-19 among the Iranian population.Method and materialsThis is a cross-sectional and descriptive –analytical study with the available (easy) sampling method over the period of July 2020 to Jan 2021 on the Iranian population using a questionnaire. A researcher-made questionnaire was used. The data collection tool of this study was a questionnaire containing demographic information (age, gender, and marital status), general questions and questions related to the stress of COVID-19. The collected information were analyzed using t- test, chi2 and the SPSS21 software.ResultsIn the present study, 6752 questionnaires were distributed, 6534 of which were filled out. 3456 of the respondents were female and the remaining 3078 were male. The average age of participants was 39.41 ± 12.4. The results of this study showed that 98.2% (No: 6425) of the individuals agreed that their stress was related to this natural disease. The results showed that the stress caused by corona has the most significant impact on the social aspect and then on the physical behaviors of the patients. The present study showed that the average score obtained from the questionnaire was 97.2 ± 15.3 out of 130 which was an indication of high levels of stress caused by this disease. There was a significant relationship between the scores associated with gender(P = 0.001), job(P = 0.01), one’s infection(P = 0.001) and one’s family’s viral infection(P = 0.02). ConclusionIt seems that the psychological role of this disease on the people involved and on the public is completely known to everyone. In fact, it must be mentioned that focusing on the physical health structures and preventing the prevalence and treating this disease, special attention must be paid to the mental health of the society as well. For this purpose, basic psychological interventions and psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression, among members of a society seems necessary.
Sustainability Transfer as a Concept for Universities in Regional Transformation—A Case Study

The research object of this study is the in-depth discourse on the sustainability transfer activities of higher education institutions (HEIs) and their contribution to a regional sustainable transformation. For this purpose, a heuristically-derived concept of sustainability transfer is empirically tested with a mixed-methods approach based on the example of Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE). The empirical findings demonstrate that the realization of sustainability transfer depends mainly on the personal initiative of teachers and researchers. Major barriers are a lack of time and financial resources. The observed concept of sustainability transfer is applicable to all study and research areas of HNEE. Involvement in sustainability transfer can include the whole of society, from politics, enterprises, and civil society to education and research institutions. Overall, the empirical testing of the concept offered by this study illustrates its practical suitability to capturing specifically those sustainability transfer activities that are not tapped by third mission approaches. This opens up a novel dimension for transfer potential at universities and their role in regional sustainability transformation. It also highlights that the interdependencies between HEIs and practitioners need to be more contextualized with quality criteria such as the value of the transfer performance or level of ambition.
Web Server with a Simple Interface for Coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics of DNA Nanostructures

We introduce an automated procedure of coarse-grained molecular dynamic simulation for DNA nanostructure that has great potential for realizing molecular robotics. As DNA origami is now a standardized technology to fabricate DNA nanostructures with high precision, various computer-aided design software has been developed. For example, a design tool called caDNAno with a simple and intuitive interface is widely used for designing DNA origami structures. Further, a simulation tool called oxDNA is used to predict the behavior of such nanostructures based on coarse-grained molecular dynamics. These tools, however, are not linked directly; thus, repeating the cycle of design and simulation is cumbersome to the user. Moreover, the computer skills required to setup, launch, and run an oxDNA simulation are a potential barrier for non-experts. In our proposal, oxDNA simulation can be launched on a web server simply by providing a caDNAno file; the web server then analyzes the simulation results and provides a visual response. The validity of the proposal is demonstrated using an example. The advantages of our proposed method compared with other conventional methods are also described. This simple-to-use interface for user-friendly simulation of DNA origami eliminates stress to users and accelerates the design process of complicated DNA nanostructures such as wireframe architecture.
Assessing and treating aggression in children and adolescents

: Aggression is common in children and adolescents and has serious consequences. This manuscript reviews the following aspects of aggression: (I) types and causes, (II) components of a comprehensive assessment, (III) a comprehensive approach to treatment, (IV) recent evidence based psychotherapeutic treatments, (V) the recent evidence based psychopharmacological treatments and (VI) aggression outcomes. We conducted a selective review from the last two decades using terms, “aggression”, “children”, “adolescents” using PubMed and also PsychINFO for the psychotherapy literature, and PubMed alone for the psychopharmacology review. We also included additional relevant references. We provide evidence-based recommendations for the assessment and treatment of aggression for children and adolescents. Aggression treatment requires a comprehensive assessment, treatment for the underlying conditions and behavioral interventions/psychotherapy and may also include careful pharmacological treatment and eventual recovery and/or short/long-term monitoring. A comprehensive assessment includes gathering a thorough history, considering symptoms in a developmental context, interviewing the guardian and child separately and together, ruling in and out psychopathology and potential stressors, conducting a risk assessment and using rating scales at baseline to assist in diagnosis and to track symptoms. A comprehensive approach to treatment includes providing or assisting the family in obtaining evidence-based psychotherapy appropriate for the child’s age and developmental level, engaging the child, family and school in taking an active role in implementing psychosocial strategies and implementing the appropriate supports, following evidence-based guidelines to treat the primary (underlying) disorder with evidence-based psychotherapies and medications. The manuscript provides a review of the psychotherapeutic approaches that have been shown to be effective in treating aggression as well as the evidence for efficacy of the different classes of medication including psychostimulants, alpha agonists, antidepressants, atypical antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. Evidence supports that first line medication begins with optimization of pharmacological treatment for the primary diagnosis, for example the use of stimulants for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and co-occurring aggression, followed by risperidone, and aripiprazole with substantial evidence supporting their effectiveness in treating aggression. Finally, we review the outcomes of aggression.

CFD Optimization of the Resistivity Meter for the IFMIF-DONES Facility

A detailed study of lithium-related topics in the IFMIF-DONES facility is currently being promoted and supported within the EUROfusion action, paying attention to different pivotal aspects including lithium flow stability and the monitoring and extraction of impurities. The resistivity meter is a device able to monitor online non-metallic impurities (mainly nitrogen) in flowing lithium. It relies on the variation of the electric resistivity produced by dissolved anions: the higher the concentration of impurities in lithium, the higher the resistivity measured. The current configuration of the resistivity meter has shown different measuring issues during its operation. All these issues reduce the accuracy of the measurements performed with this instrument and introduce relevant noise affecting the resistance value. This paper proposes different upgrades, supported by CFD simulations, to optimize lithium flow conditions and to reduce measurement problems. Owing to these upgrades, a new design of the resistivity meter has been achieved, which is simpler and easier to manufacture.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF BOMB DETECTOR AS ANTICIPATION OF TERRORISM THREAT TO PUBLIC SERVICES

Acts of terrorism are crimes and serious violations of human rights, also the threat of violence that can cause mass casualties and destruction of vital strategic objects. This is an urgent threat that needs to be prepared by designing a bomb detector conceptual design as anticipation of the threat of terrorism in public services. This study aims to obtain operational requirements and conceptual design of bomb detectors as detection of terrorism threats in public services. This study uses a mixed-method with a systems engineering approach and a life cycle model to produce a technological design. The results of operational requirements are sensors, standards, artificial intelligence, integration capability, reliability, calibration mode, portable, and easy to maintain. The configuration design is divided into three stages, namely, 1) sensors including a camera security surveillance system vector image, metal detectors, explosive detectors, and A-jamming; 2) as a processing device, processes an order with the help of an artificial intelligence system; and 3) a security computer (surveillance), early warning, and mobile information to provide information to related agencies, especially the anti-terror unit.
