Online monitoring tools for SoH diagnostic and prognostic of remaining lifetime of reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) systems

Abstract In order to ensure the continuous operation of (i) solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) as the main parts of auxiliary power units (APUs) or stationary power generators, and (ii) solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) as highly-efficient systems for advanced fuel generation, it is of crucial importance to be able to determine specific cell processes and to identify diverse potential degradation mechanisms at the earliest possible stage. This ensures the electrochemical processes within reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) systems to be optimized with the aim to achieve the maximum overall efficiency for energy and fuel generation. Moreover, if degradation is identified at early stage, appropriate countermeasures can be taken, thereby considerably extending the lifetime of the rSOC system under operation. In this study, industrial-scale rSOCs are analyzed by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as well as advanced electrochemical tools – (i) distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis, and (ii) total harmonic distortion (THD) analysis. The DRT approach is applied in order to isolate the processes involved in both operating modes and to deliver suggestions for the overall operation optimization. Eventually, a practical tool applicable for online-monitoring systems - total harmonic distortion analysis (THD) is applied to identify carbon deposition degradation mechanisms in a high temperature fuel cell system, which was induced by fueling SOFC with methane. This method enabled detection of specific frequencies for the failure mode mentioned, thus making a basis for fast development of cost-effective and practical online monitoring tool. This technique enables to in-operando control rSOC systems, to identify diverse degradation mechanisms at initial state and to prolong the lifetime of the technology used.
A simulation model of a CO2 absorption process with methyldiethanolamine solvent and piperazine as an activator

Abstract CO 2 capture technologies have recently attracted considerable attention because of the need to reduce CO 2 emission. A highly effective technology is chemical absorption using activated methyldiethanolamine (a-MDEA), a mixed solvent of piperazine (PZ) and MDEA. In this study, a physical property package for a-MDEA was assembled and inserted into Aspen Plus to simulate an acid gas removal unit (AGRU). Data from an actual natural gas sweetening process were used to validate the model, whose results were found to fit the data well. Subsequent sensitivity analyses showed that the PZ concentration had a more significant impact on the process performance than the solvent to feed ratio. At low concentrations of PZ, every 1 wt% increase in PZ enhanced the percent CO 2 recovery by about 10%. Finally, the results also indicated that the best trade-off between CO 2 recovery and energy consumption occurred at the PZ concentration of 5 wt% in a 45 wt% aqueous MDEA solvent.
ANÁLISE ESTRATIGRÁFICA E POTENCIAIS HORIZONTES GERADORES DE HIDROCARBONETOS EM UMA SEÇÃO DEVONIANA NA BORDA SUDOESTE DA BACIA DO PARNAÍBA, TOCANTINS, BRASIL

Inversion of layer-specific cadherin expression profiles and maintenance of cytoarchitectonic areas in the allocortex of the reeler mutant mouse

Cadherins are calcium-depending cell adhesion proteins that play critical roles in brain morphogenesis and wiring. They provide an adhesive code for the development of cortical layers, due to their homophilic interactions and their restricted spatiotemporal expression patterns. In the adult organism, cadherins are involved in the maintenance and plasticity of neuronal circuits that play a role in learning. A well-known model for studying corticogenesis is the reeler mouse model. Numerous investigations of neocortical development suggest that, in the reeler mutant mouse, the lack of the protein Reelin results in cell-type and region-dependent changes of the neocortical layers. To investigate in detail how layer formation and regionalization is perturbed in the phylogenetically older archicortex of the adult reeler mutant mouse, we studied the expression of 11 different cadherins (Cdh4, Cdh7, Cdh8, Cdh11, Pcdh1, Pcdh7, Pcdh8, Pcdh9, Pcdh10, Pcdh17, and Pcdh19) and of the transcription factors ER81 and Cux2 by in situ hybridization in the (peri-)archicortex. All cadherins studied show a layer-specific expression in the (peri-)archicortex of the wildtype brain. In the archicortex of the reeler mutant, the cadherin-expressing cell layers are dispersed in the radial dimension, whereas in the periarchicortex the superficial and deep layers are inverted, both in the adult and during development. Possibly, this inversion relates to the histoarchitectural division of the reeler entorhinal cortex into an external and an internal zone. The regionalized, gradient-like expression of the cadherins is preserved in the reeler mutant mouse.
Prehospital use of plasma in traumatic hemorrhage (The PUPTH Trial): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Severe traumatic injury and haemorrhagic shock are frequently associated with disruptions of coagulation function (such as trauma-induced coagulopathy TIC) and activation of inflammatory cascades. These pathologies may be exacerbated by current standard of care resuscitation protocols. Observational studies suggest early administration of plasma to severely-injured haemorrhaging patients may correct TIC, minimise inflammation, and improve survival. The proposed randomised clinical trial will evaluate the clinical effectiveness of pre-hospital plasma administration compared with standard- of-care crystalloid resuscitation in severely-injured patients with major traumatic haemorrhage.This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, non-blinded trial to determine the effect of pre-hospital administration of thawed plasma (TP) on mortality, morbidity, transfusion requirements, coagulation, and inflammatory response in severely-injured bleeding trauma patients. Two hundred and ten eligible adult trauma patients will be randomised to receive either two units of plasma, to be administered in-field, vs standard of care normal saline (NS). Main analyses will compare subjects allocated to TP to those allocated to NS, on an intention-to-treat basis. Primary outcome measure is all-cause 30-day mortality. Secondary outcome measures include coagulation and lipidomic/pro-inflammatory marker responses, volume of resuscitation fluids (crystalloid, colloid) and blood products administered, and major hospital outcomes (e.g. incidence of MSOF, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay).This study is part of a US Department of Defense (DoD)-funded multi-institutional investigation, conducted independently of, but in parallel with, the University of Pittsburgh and University of Denver. Demonstration of significant reductions in mortality and coagulopathic/inflammatory-related morbidities as a result of pre-hospital plasma administration would be of considerable clinical importance for the management of haemorrhagic shock in both civilian and military populations.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02303964 on 28 November 2014.
Efectos genéticos y heterosis en poblaciones parentales y poblaciones derivadas de maíz (Zea mays L)

This study with the Gardner-Eberhart model (1966) involved eight maize parental populations and their related populations. The objectives were to estimate the cumulative gene effects (additive, dominance and heterotic) which could The justify support of a maize hybrid programo The grain yield inter-varietal dominance effects accounted for 55.54% of the generation means, suggesting large genetic variability within populations. Heterotic effects accounted for 12.11 %, indicating little difference in gene frequency for loci controlling grain yield. Plant height followed the same pattero as grain yield, since dominance effects were the most important. However, homozygote loci (aj) were important in explaining genetic variability for days to bloom and number of ears. For grain yield, the cross Pop. 32 x Pop. 21 maximized the heterotic effects. Population 21 exhibited a high average heterosis, so we suspect that its, combination with Popo 32 and CN(S)-C3, among others, would be a great genetic material for a Reciprocal Recurrent Selection Programo
Neutron and γ multiplicities as a function of incident neutron energy for the Np237(n,f) reaction

In the nuclear fission process, the excitation energy sharing mechanism between the fission fragments, the fragment angular momentum generation process and the interdependence between the two are still poorly known. The study of the neutron and $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ emission characteristics as a function of fragment and compound nucleus properties brings valuable information on these mechanisms since they decrease respectively the fragment excitation energy and angular momentum. In the 1980s, Naqvi and M\uller experimentally highlighted, with $^{237}\mathrm{Np}(n,f)$ direct fission reactions, that only the prompt neutron multiplicity for the heavy fragment increases with the incident neutron energy. This means that the additional excitation energy goes into the heavy fragment. This data set allows one to test the different energy sharing models. This paper investigates, using the fifrelin fission fragment deexcitation code, the impact of the models used to assign the fragment initial state on fission observables. It focuses on the impact of a constant or an energy dependent spin cutoff model, whose parameters define the initial total angular momentum distribution, coupled with an energy sharing model based on an empirical temperature ratio law ${R}_{T}(A)$ in which fission fragments are considered to behave as a Fermi gas. It shows that both spin cutoff models succeed in reproducing the experimental neutron multiplicities which are mainly driven by the ${R}_{T}(A)$ law. However, they predict different $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ observables and neutron-$\ensuremath{\gamma}$ multiplicity correlations. Therefore, to infer about the validity of the two models, it is necessary to measure neutron and $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ observables in correlation in order to have a deeper understanding of the fission mechanism.
Challenges in Storing Multimedia Data for the Future - An Overview

Preserving access to multimedia data over time may prove to be the most challenging task in all things concerning multimedia. Preserving access to data from previous technical generations has always been a rather difficult endeavor, but multimedia data with an almost endless succession of encoding and compression algorithms sets the stakes even higher, especially when not only considering migrating the data from one generation earlier to a current technology but from decades ago. The time to start thinking and developing techniques and methodologies to keep data accessible over time is right now because the first challenges become visible on the horizon: How to archive the ever growing (and growing exponentially so) amounts of data without major manual intervention as soon as a storage media runs out of free space. Is there such a thing as “endless storage capacity”? Would an “endless storage capacity” really help? Or do we need totally new ways of thinking in regard to archiving digital data for the future?
Thermal decomposition and mass spectra of mixed ligand copper(II) complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline and coumarin derivatives

Abstract Four copper(II) new mix ligand complexes of the coumarin derivative (A1 = 7-hydroxy-10,11-dihydroindeno[5,4-c]chromen-6(9H)-one, A2 = 2-bromo-7-hydroxy-10,11- dihydroindeno[5,4-c]chromen-6(9H)-one, A3 = 7-hydroxy-4-methoxy-10,11-dihydroindeno[5,4-c]chromen-6(9H)-one, and A4 = 5-hydroxy-8,9-dihydrobenzo[f]indeno[5,4-c]chromen-4(7H)-one) and 1,10-Phenanthroline have been synthesized. The structural interpretations were confirmed from elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility and FAB mass spectral, as well as from IR spectral studies. From the analytical, spectroscopic, and thermal data, the stoichiometry of the mentioned complexes was found to be 1:1:1 (coumarin ligand:copper metal:1,10-Phenanthroline). The thermal stabilities of these complexes were studied by thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) and the decomposition steps of these four complexes are investigated. Kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n) and the energy of activation (Ea) were calculated using Freeman–Carroll method. The pre-expon...

Sugar Beet Harvest Apparatus

A sugar beet harvest apparatus provides in sequence a pair of field cultivator teeth, a pair of discs, and subsequent thereto a V-shaped basket of helical screw propellers. The field cultivator teeth and discs may be spaced nominally to engage both sides of a single crop row, or in an alternative embodiment may be spaced nominally to engage one side of a first crop row, and the opposed side of a second adjacent crop row. In either case, the field cultivator teeth pierce the soil and gently lift the root crop. The discs may flip the beets and soil into the helical screw propellers. A pair of ground-level helical screw propellers lift the root crop, while pulverizing the soil and cleaning the root crop in the process. Each of the helical screw propellers lift the root crop, while pushing rocks and soil rearward proximate to the soil surface.
CORE FOR MANUFACTURING A TIRE REINFORCED BY STAYS, COMPRISING A STOP COMPENSATOR INTENDED TO FACILITATE THE REMOVAL OF THE TIRE FROM THE MOLD

The present invention relates to a tool for manufacturing an object, such as a pneumatic tire, which comprises a wall (3) delimiting a cavity (4) as well as at least one stay which runs through the inside of the cavity so as to connect a first anchor point (M1) located in a first portion (3_1) of the wall to a second anchor point (M2) located in a second portion (3_2) of the wall, said tool comprising a core (10) provided with at least one groove (12) accommodating the stay, and a compensator (20) which comprises a stop (21) for constituting a spare stay length which can be used to allow the second portion of the wall containing the second anchor point to move away from the first portion of the wall containing the first anchor point when the core is removed from the cavity.
The Preventing of Postoperative Delirium

Delirium is a common complication in elderly hospitalized patients. It prolongs the length of hospital stay, raises costs, increases the workload of the nursing staff, and may necessitate transfer of the patient to a nursing home. The risk of postoperative delirium is particularly high in elderly patients with pre-existing cognitive deficits.In an open study, we systematically assessed the frequency of postoperative delirium in patients over age 70 on two surgical wards of a general hospital. In a six-month "prevalence phase," from March to August 2011, we counted the number of patients with postoperative delirium, but did not initiate any intervention. Thereafter, in a ten-month "intervention phase" from September 2011 to June 2012, a nurse with special training in the management of delirium carried out an intervention involving component measures of the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) on one of the two wards, with the aim of preventing postoperative delirium. The patients on the other ward served as a control group.In the prevalence phase, 20.2% of all patients developed postoperative delirium (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.6-26.4). In the intervention phase, postoperative delirium arose in 20.8% (95% CI, 11.3-32.1) of the patients on the ward with no specific interventions, but in only 4.9% (95% CI, 0.0-11.5) of those on the ward where the intervention was carried out. The difference was presumably due to the measures initiated by the specially trained nurse, including validation, improvement of sleep, cognitive activation, early mobilization, improved sensory stimulation, and improved nutritional and fluid intake. Important predictors of postoperative delirium included a low score on the Mini-Mental State Examination, advanced age, and preoperative infection.The frequency of postoperative delirium in elderly patients with cognitive deficits can be lowered with nursing measures carried out by a specially trained nurse, close postoperative supervision, and cognitive activation.
Rising competitiveness of early stage researchers and research management in latvia

Early stage researchers (ESR) from low performing countries are less competitive in the international scientific area than ESR's form internationally-leading counterparts. This is strongly related not only to the applicants itself, but also to the environment in which they were seeded as next generation researchers - meaning Universities. The competitiveness in scientific area is related to well measurable indicators, such as impact factors, papers in high-ranking journals, H-index, competitive funding, etc. Hence RISEus2 project´s Overall Objective is to significantly strengthen the research management and administration skills of RTU RBIDC leading staff and increase the research profile of ESR hosted in RTU RBIDC in the area of biomaterials development for bone tissue replacement and regeneration based on the long-term strategic cooperation between RTU RBIDC and three internationally leading counterparts: AO Research Institute Davos, Switzerland (ARI), Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse CIRIMAT, France (INPT-CIRIMAT) and FORM-Lab Frankfurt Orofacial Regenerative Medicine, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany (GUF). The purpose of RISEus2 is to create links and provide training which will ensure that RTU RBIDC will gain new knowledge and approaches of biomaterials research planning, implementation and exploitation. This will include methods, tools, equipment and effective infrastructure exploitation necessary to develop excellence in biomaterials research, that will boost the cooperation with the industry, thus becoming internationally competitive and attractive. The main RISEus2 activities include two way collaborative visits, mobility of staff, summer and winter schools, workshops at partner institutions, strengthening the visibility and cooperation with industry and intensive dissemination and outreach activities.
To Name it or not Name it: Consumer Perspectives on Facility Naming Rights Sponsorship in Collegiate Athletics

Collegiate athletics have become increasingly attractive for sponsorship investments, a trend that has also created some potentially negative side effects. How university stakeholders, such as students, perceive and respond to stadium naming rights sponsorship is a major concern to administrators of both athletic programs and business corporations. This study investigates students’ beliefs about naming rights sponsorship, their attitudes toward commercialization, team and stadium identification, and perception of financial status, as well as how these factors affect naming rights sponsorship outcomes regarding attitude toward sponsor, purchase intention of sponsor’s product, and willingness to attend sporting events. A theoretical model was proposed and tested, where the hierarchical paradigm of belief-attitude-behavior intention was confirmed to be relevant and applicable. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed significant (p < .05) influences of beliefs about naming rights, attitude toward commercialization, stadium identification, and perception of financial status on attitudes toward sponsor; attitudes toward sponsor and team identification on purchase intention of sponsor’s product; and team identification, stadium identification, attitudes toward sponsor, and beliefs about naming rights sponsorships on willingness to attend sporting events. Stadium identification was identified as playing an important role in evaluating the effectiveness of a naming rights sponsorship. The study provides preliminary insight into the potential viability of naming rights sponsorships for intercollegiate athletics.
