LOW FRICTION FACE SEALED REACTION TURBINE ROTORS

Rotary jetting tool including a rotor with axially-opposed pressure-balanced mechanical face seals. Vented upper mechanical face seal enables the rotor to be operated with the relativity low starting torque achievable using reaction forces from offset jets energized with a pressurized fluid. When rotor is displaced axially due to set-down conditions, a pressure chamber exerts a pressure imbalance on the rotor, forcing the rotor to return to a normal operating position. Alternate structure to achieve low starting torque includes a volume disposed adjacent to a lower mechanical face seal, the volume being coupled in fluid communication with the pressurized fluid. Mechanical face seal surfaces are fabricated from ultra-hard materials, such as tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, and diamond. A gage ring designed to ensure the jets remove all of the material from the gage of the protective housing before the tool can advance can be incorporated.
OVEN USING STRUCTURED AIR INLETS

A jet plate for directing a flow of air into a cooking cavity of an oven may comprise a body configured to be disposed along a top wall or a bottom wall of the cooking cavity, and one or more structured air inlets that are openings through the body. Each of the structured air inlets comprises holes and slots that are alternatingly arranged and serially connected. The structured air inlets enable air to be introduced into the cooking cavity in a structured formation to improve cooking speed and cooking efficiency. In addition, structured air inlets in a jet plate may be configured in various manners to address unevenness in the distribution of air flow within the cooking cavity.
Depositor Behavior under Macroeconomic Risk: Evidence from Bank Runs in Emerging Economies

Depositor behavior has been associated with bank-specific characteristics, random runs, or contagion episodes. Using evidence on the 2000–02 bank runs in Argentina and Uruguay, this paper shows that macroeconomic risk is also important. Few macroeconomic shocks can quickly cause large runs. Macroeconomic risk affects deposits regardless of traditional bank-specific characteristics. Furthermore, bank exposure to macroeconomic factors can explain differences in deposit withdrawals. During crises, the evolution of bank-specific characteristics is mainly driven by macroeconomic factors, while the informational content of bank-specific variables declines. Overall, depositors seem responsive to risk in a broader sense than that often considered by the literature.

Tapemelt: recyclable thermal activated tape system

Packaging tapes are the most widely used pressure sensitive adhesive tapes with global production in excess of 10 billion sq. meters per year . Their primary application is corrugated carton closure. However, existing solutions for this application present 3 key constrains:

1.RECYBLABILITY – WASTE MANAGEMENT: One of the major issues for the label printing industry is the waste the process leaves behind, particularly the much maligned release liner. With consumption of self-adhesive label materials in Europe in 2010 totalling 5.3 billion square metres, translating into some 360,000 tonnes of paper liner waste emerging from end users.

2.TAMPER-EVIDENT: Cartons sealed with PSA or many of the water-activated adhesives are not secure and are not easily accessed without revealing any signs of tampering.

3.TAPE SEALING PROBLEM IN REFRIGERATED PACKAGES: Both PSAs and Water-Activated lack adherence depending on temperatures. They typically reduce or lose their tack at low temperatures and reduce their shear holding ability at high temperatures; special adhesives are made to function at high or low temperatures.

We have developed a product that provides a proper answer to this 3 needs: TAPEMELT: an adhesive system thermal activated that cover the existing constrains in the carton packing industry. It is 1) Low-cost; 2) Fast to apply 3) Strong: the integrity and safety of the goods are not compromised 3) Allows custom printing; 4) Theft-protection – Tamper evident 5) it is made of paper: 100% recyclable, repulpable and biodegradable.
Construction of multi-channel fluorescence sensor array and its application for accurate identification and sensitive quantification of multiple metal ions

Abstract Herein, a small molecule based multi-channel fluorescent sensor array (SA) for accurate discrimination and sensitive quantitation of multiple heavy metal ions was developed, with its detection mechanism simulates an electronic tongue. The synergistic effects of the differentiated affinity of chelator for metal ions and multiple emission channels of sensors led to the diverse emission intensity change and wavelength switch, displaying obvious cross-reactivity and diversified signal output. Treated with linear discriminant analysis (LDA), this diversified multi-channel output allowed correct and high-resolution discrimination of 11 heavy metal ions at different concentration as well as multivariate mixture of hard-distinguish metal ions. Further titration experiment exhibited the regular arrangement of each metal ions in different extension directions at the range of 0–20 μM in 3D LDA plot, endowing SA array with the ability to identify and quantify each heavy metal ion. The feasibility of the SA array was also verified by the accurate detection of a large number of actual water samples. This strategy enables simple, efficient, sensitive identification and quantification of multiple metal ions in real water, demonstrating its potential for simplification of water quality analysis process.

The magnitude of the effect of air pollution on sunshine hours in China

[1] This study investigates the changes in sunshine hours in relation to API (Air Pollution Index) across China. Data were collected from a total of 38 cities over the period of 1960–2009. Sunshine hours in over 84% of the cities significantly (p 80, sunshine hours are on the average 0.7 h d−1 (8.4%) shorter than for days with API ≤ 80 under clear-sky condition for 2001–2005. In cities with average daily API ≤ 80 and >80 for the 2000s, sunshine hour decline for the 1960s–2000s is 0.8 h d−1 (13.4%) and 1.0 h d−1 (15.9%) respectively. Winter seasons with high API (90) exhibit the highest sunshine hour decline (21.5%). The study shows that spatiotemporal changes in sunshine hours in China could largely be explained in terms of API.
Multiscale dynamics of astrophysical plasmas: pressure-anisotropy-driven instabilities and large-scale dynamical processes

The primary purpose of the proposed project is a deeper understanding of instabilities in plasmas and their influence on transport phenomena and large-scale dynamical processes. The studies will be focused on nonlinear regime of development of the firehose and mirror instabilities triggered by pressure anisotropy spontaneously generated in stellar-wind environments by large-scale expansion/compression effects and plasma turbulence. Recent studies of microphysics of the instabilities have provided systematic knowledge on saturation effects in nonlinear regime and related wave-particle interactions. This opens a possibility of investigation of a feedback between the microphysics and large-scale dynamics. The project is anticipated to provide answers to the questions: what is the effective collisionality of a pressure-anisotropic plasma that is unstable or marginally stable to the firehose and mirror instabilities and how does it change the effective pressure tensor (viscous stress) used in fluid description of plasmas?

Results of the project are expected to be important for general plasma physics as related to the problem of multiscale phenomena in plasmas and coupling between microphysics and macrophysical processes. In particular, the results can help in better understanding of the dynamics of galaxy cluster plasmas, dynamical processes in stellar winds and planetary magnetospheres.

The studies will be done by numerical simulations using state-of-the-art kinetic and fluid models of plasma dynamics. A numerical setup will be developed analogous to experimental setups used for classical viscosity measurements in fluids. This virtual setup will be used to measure stresses caused by development of instabilities in plasmas. A related problem of thermalization of microinstabilities into kinetic waves cascade will be also investigated. The entire modeling framework will be validated by comparison of simulation results with spacecraft measurements in turbulent solar wind.
Real time interior water and thermal monitoring of fuel cell with micro 3-in-1 sensor

Abstract The operating temperature and internal water accumulation influence the fuel cell performance significantly, and various regions inside the fuel cell still have non-uniformity. At present, only external, invasive, theoretical and simulation methods are available. The real information inside the fuel cell cannot be known instantly. This study used micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology to develop a temperature, pressure and flow 3-in-1 micro sensor. First, the PI foil (Polyimide foil, 50 μm thick) was used to develop a 3-in-1 micro sensor, and then the 3-in-1 micro sensor was embedded in the low-temperature fuel cell for real-time microscopic monitoring of internal temperature, pressure and flow of fuel cell. In terms of temperature inside the fuel cell, as the upstream and midstream formed heat can be carried away by sufficient gas at the inlet, and the downstream reaction is violent, the downstream temperature is higher than upstream and midstream temperatures. In terms of pressure, in long-term observation, the internal pressure fluctuates, the pressure increases momently and reverts at some time points. This is possibly due to the removal of accumulated water from the flow channel. In terms of flow, the flow supplied by flow controller is higher than the upstream and downstream micro flow sensors, and the difference matches the gas leakage value.
Late Silurian–early Devonian adakitic granodiorite, A-type and I-type granites in NW Junggar, NW China: Partial melting of mafic lower crust and implications for slab roll-back

Abstract Late Silurian–early Devonian magmatism of the NW Junggar region in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt provides a critical geological record that is important for unraveling regional tectonic history and constraining geodynamic processes. In this study, we report results of Zircon U–Pb ages and systematic geochemical data for late Silurian–early Devonian largely granitic rocks in NW Junggar, aiming to constrain their emplacement ages, origin and geodynamic significance. The magmatism consists of a variety of mafic to felsic intrusions and volcanic rocks, e.g. adakitic granodiorite, K-feldspar granite, syenitic granite, gabbro and rhyrolite. U–Pb zircon ages suggest that the granitoids and gabbros were emplaced in the late Silurian–early Devonian (420–405 Ma). Adakitic granodiorites are calc-alkaline, characterized by high Sr (407–532 ppm), low Y (12.2–14.7 ppm), Yb (1.53–1.77 ppm), Cr (mostly
Tecniche di trapianto di fegato negli adulti

Il 1° marzo 1963, Thomas Starzl tenta il primo trapianto di fegato a Denver, in Colorado. Operazione “dell’impossibile”, che si conclude “in tragedia” con un’emorragia incontrollabile. I fallimenti si susseguono e in realtà sono dovuti all’assenza di terapia immunosoppressiva. Questi fallimenti non scoraggeranno il chirurgo che, facendo affidamento su un programma pluriennale di sperimentazione animale, finisce per imporre il “suo” trapianto come l’unica cura efficace delle gravi malattie del fegato. È la ciclosporina che salva il trapianto di fegato e il suo promotore. I primi successi dell’innesto ortotopico cosiddetto “classico”, con circolazione extracorporea, daranno l’avvio a perfezionamenti tecnici e alla variazione della tecnica principale: innesto senza bypass, trapianto a partire da fegati ridotti, innesto per due a partire da un innesto condiviso in situ o ex vivo, innesto con emitrasposizione cavoportale, innesto ausiliario eterotopico e poi ortotopico e infine innesto a partire da un emifegato prelevato da un donatore vivente. Non ce n’è più uno solo, ma esistono numerosi trapianti di fegato.
Dual co/photoredox catalysis for the synthesis of fluorine-containing skipped dienes featuring a quaternary carbon stereocenter

Fluorine-containing functional groups have become of crucial importance for medicinal and agrochemical applications. The incorporation of these moieties into molecular structures allows for significant opportunities to take advantage of bioisosterism as well as to fine-tune the chemical or pharmacological properties of a desired molecule. The objective of the FUSE project is to pioneer a novel approach for the preparation of fluorinated and chiral skipped dienes bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter. Developing methodologies for these elusive compounds allows for a wide range of synthetic post-transformations and they thus serve as valuable building blocks in synthetic chemistry and pharmaceutical development programs. The project will expand the chemical space of hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and utilize these fourth-generation refrigerants as readily available and inexpensive starting materials. To achieve the challenging targets, a mild, visible-light photoredox based dual catalytic approach is utilized using earth-abundant (cobalt) first-row transitional metal catalysis. As such, the replacement of the typically hazardous metal reagents utilized in the state of the art and minimizing chemical waste is forecasted. The proposed programme will be carried out in close cooperation with an industrial partner in order to provide a new flow strategy for constructing these skipped fluorodiene scaffolds. This ambitious and innovative project will contribute to propagate the sustainability and reinforce the application potential of HFOs for academic and industrial applications. The project merges multidisciplinary aspects with intersectorial knowledge transfer, enabling the transition to more sustainable development in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical sector.
“MORRER DE VERGONHA”: UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO PSICANALÍTICA SOBRE VERGONHA, HUMILHAÇÃO E ABJEÇÃO NA MIGRAÇÃO DE RETORNO

RESUMO: A migração de retorno se tornou apenas recentemente objeto de pesquisas no campo da saúde mental. A experiência do migrante de retorno em sua comunidade de origem o expõe aos olhares de alteridade que apontam para a fragilidade tanto de seus ideais egóicos como daqueles partilhados com o grupo cultural, particularmente quando o retorno se faz “com as mãos abanando”. Com duas vinhetas clínicas tiradas de uma pesquisa conduzida no Senegal entre 2014 e 2019, abordamos esse cenário no qual os sujeitos enfrentam vergonha, humilhação e abjeção quando retornam, ficando condenados a um espaço marginal de entre-dois migratório.
Explaining the ‘dishonest vote’ in Italian parliamentary elections

In recent decades, citizens have grown increasingly distrustful of politics and its actors. Against this background, the aim of this paper is to shed light on the role of citizens themselves in the process by focusing on the determinants of their voting choices. As a matter of fact, a substantial proportion of voters in democratic elections actually cast a ‘dishonest vote’ – that is, a vote cast in favour of a candidate who is perceived as dishonest by the voter herself. Based on the available literature on political psychology and electoral behaviour, a number of competing hypotheses are advanced. These are tested using national election study data from the Second Italian Republic (2001–08). The statistical analyses presented show that the key determinant of the dishonest vote in Italian elections lies in a perception of every candidate being dishonest and, more generally, in a belief that politicians are ‘all the same’. The probability of casting a dishonest vote is higher among voters characterised by ...
El sí-mismo comprometido: la disección de la subjetividad en la <i>Autobiografía psíquica</i> de Hermann Broch

Hermann Broch was convinced of the veracity of psychoanalysis and was under psychoanalytical treatment several times in his life with well-known analysts: Hedwig Hoffer-Schaxel, from 1928 to 1935, Gustav Bychowski between 1939 y 1940, and Paul Federn, from 1943 to at least 1946. Broch also wrote in 1942/1943, while finishing The Death of Virgil , his Psychological Autobiography and its Appendix . Both writings, never intended to be published by his author, were thought as a kind of auto-analysis aimed to clarify, within a Freudian conceptual framework, two problems: the tension between sexuality and production, and the repercussion of the mother’s figure. But the approach to these questions resulted in the transversal and progressive emergence of a reflection upon the self and the way of preparing it to action, of increasing its involvement, in sum, of recreating it aesthetically and ethically. This paper puts in context and studies this compromised self, that subtle blend of psychological analysis, aesthetical theory and moral philosophy that shaped Broch’s subjectivity.
Diet Quality of Farm to School Implementation by using Healthy Eating Index (LB457)

Background. Nutrition not only plays an important role in the growth and development of preschool-aged children, it also has a long-lasting impact on health status, disease prevention and body composition. Schools and childcare centers have been targeted to increase diet quality and nutrition education to preschool aged children. Recently, these programs have attempted to provide locally grown produce to further enhance diet quality, but few studies examine nutritional content of meals provided. Methods. We analyzed intake and diet quality of farm to school (FTS) meals versus standard meals among preschoolers in a Head Start program. Direct observations, using plate waste, along with Nutrition Data System (NDSR) analysis determined intake and nutritional content of foods consumed. Data was analyzed using the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI 2010) to depict diet quality between FTS and standard meals. Results. Average HEI 2010 scores indicate a higher score among FTS meals (63±10.4) compared to standard meal...
Innovative Models for Protected Areas: exChange and Transfer

New management models to balance preservation and exploitation of protected areas (Natura 2000) has become a priority in most EU regions.

IMPACT partnership includes five regions and a large variety of protected areas across Europe with differences in terms of local capacities and potential. The aim is to have a better understanding of patterns followed, development potential and opportunities to change policies related to the management of protected areas through interregional learning.

Stakeholder groups meetings, interregional events, study visits and forums will help us transform this potential and opportunities into growth, income and green jobs in and around protected areas.

Natura 2000 sites could be turned around more sustainable and efficient if improved policy instruments and approaches are adopted. Besides, this approach guarantees also sustainability of results beyond project lifetime.

Communication strategy includes support material, online presence and public relations activities to ensure dissemination of project successes and achievements beyond partners’ regions.

IMPACT expected results and changes are, among others, improving spatial and management tools for Natura 2000 sites, increasing competences of different target groups, raising awareness about natural assets (risks and potential), increasing tourism flows in low and medium season and involving young people in biodiversity preservatiion.
  
Policymakers, stakeholder groups and partners’ staff will play a key role in the interregional learning process, the development of action plans and the improvement of policy instruments addressed, and therefore, in the project successful implementation.  In addition, general public, local communities and particularly groups at risk of discrimination will benefit from IMPACT project results and outputs.

Monitoring of action plans implementation (Phase 2) is an added-value for projects as it will make it possible to measure the results in territories.
