Evolution of magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect in TmNi1−xCuxAl (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1) compounds

The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of TmNi1-xCuxAl (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1) compounds have been investigated. With the substitution of Ni by Cu, the Tm-magnetic moment rotates its direction from basal plane to the c-axis and finally becomes canted antiferromagnetism structure with larger projected moments along the c-axis near Tord. Furthermore, large reversible magnetocaloric effects have been observed in TmNi1-xCuxAl compounds around Tord, with no thermal hysteresis and magnetic hysteresis loss. The values of −ΔSMmax and refrigerant capacity are greatly improved when the part of Ni was superseded by Cu. In particular, under the magnetic field change of 2 T, a large −ΔSMmax of TmNi0.7Cu0.3Al (10.7 J/kg K) is almost twice that of TmNiAl (5.5 J/kg K) and 17.2 J/kg K for TmCuAl around 4 K. The present results indicate that TmNi1-xCuxAl (x ≥ 0.3) compounds could be considered as good candidate materials for low-temperature and low-field magnetic refrigerant.
Laminar heat transfer and friction characteristics of microencapsulated phase change material slurry in a circular tube with twisted tape inserts

Abstract It is novel and better method that microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurry and the tube with twisted tape inserts are adopted together to enhance convective heat transfer. In this paper, numerical analyses were carried out to study laminar heat transfer and friction characteristics of MPCM slurry in a circular tube with twisted tape inserts. It is found that the MPCM slurry in the tube with twisted tape insert leads to the best performance of convective heat transfer for the bigger apparent specific heat and the intensive swirl flow. Furthermore, the modified average Nusselt number increases with decreasing bulk Stefan number, twisted ratio and increasing Re, while the friction factor increases with increasing Re and decreasing twisted ratio. It is also found that the heat transfer enhanced efficiency increases with increasing Re and decreasing Ste b , and the heat transfer enhancement effects of twisted tape for low Ste b slurry are better than that for high Ste b slurry. Moreover, the thermal-hydraulic performance ratios increase to a peak, then decrease gradually with increasing Re for different twist ratio. The performance ratio increases with decreasing the twist ratio only in a definite Re range, and the Re range decreases with decreasing twist ratio.
Limb‑shaking transient ischemic attack

ABSTRACT Limb shaking Transient Ischemic Attack is a rare manifestation of carotid‑occlusive disease. The symptoms usually present with seizure like activity and often misdiagnosed as focal seizures. Only on careful history the important clinical clues‑which may help in differentiating from seizure‑are revealed: Lack of Jacksonian march or aura; precipitation by maneuvers that lead to carotid compression. We present the case of an elderly gentleman with recurrent limb shaking transient ischemic attacks that was initially diagnosed as a case of epilepsy. His symptoms responded to optimization of blood pressure. The case report highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis as the treatment of the associated carotid artery occlusion may not only abolish the attacks but also reduce the risk of future stroke.

Tilting window

According to the invention, for tilting windows a locking device composed of a cover rail and of a guide rail, which passes with locking studs through longitudinal slots of the cover rail, combines a tilting device for the window wing which consists of a scissor leg which is coupled to the window wing and to the guide rail and which, when the window wing is unlocked, is pivoted out of the position parallel to the cover rail as a result of the displacement of the guide rail, as it were by two scissor handles, and forces the window wing into the tilted position.
Argon laser phototherapy could eliminate the damage effects induced by the ionizing radiation “gamma radiation” in irradiated rabbits

The ionizing radiations could be taken in considerate as an integral part in our life, since, living organisms are actually exposed to a constant shower of ionizing radiations whether from the natural or artificial resources. The radio-protective efficiency of several chemicals has been confirmed in animal trails, whereas, due to their accumulative toxicity, their clinical utility is limited. Therefore, we aimed in the present work to investigate the possibility of using argon laser to recuperate the damaged tissues due to exposing to the ionizing radiation. The rabbits were used in this study, and they were designed as control, gamma irradiated, laser, and gamma plus laser groups. Lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) in blood and liver were evaluated. As well as, the level of protein thiol was evaluated in the plasma among each group. Results of this study revealed the potential therapeutic performance of the treatment by laser argon to decline the damaging effect of the ionized radiation whether at systematic or local levels. In conclusion, argon laser therapy appears propitious protective effect against the hazard effects of gamma radiation.
Recent progress in numerical simulations for jet noise computation using LES on fully unstructured meshes

Numerical simulations of a hot turbulent jet are performed on full unstructured grids with the aim to compute the noise generated in the far field. The jet flow is computed with the Onera CEDRE code using the LES (Large Eddy Simulation) approach and provide the unsteady inputs to the Onera KIM acoustic solver, based on the integral surface FW-H (Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings) approach which is used to reconstruct the acoustic far field. Several unstructured grids of increasing resolution are considered and the results obtained for both the computed jet flow and far field acoustics are compared to measurements carried out in the Onera CEPRA19 anechoic wind tunnel and to previous computations with the same codes but based on structured grids. Results show that unstructured grids allow a better grid tailoring work with an evident ease of construction, compared to the structured grid approach. Very good results are obtained and compare well with available measurements with an unstructured grid of roughly 130 millions cells. These results open the way to the use of unstructured grids in more complex geometries such as those encountered in real life configurations dealing with noise reduction devices or installation effects.
Radiation exposure and risk–benefit analysis in cancer screening using FDG-PET: results of a Japanese nationwide survey

The aim of this study was to estimate radiation exposure and evaluate the risks and benefits of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in cancer screening.A nationwide survey of FDG-PET cancer screening was conducted in 2006, and the results were analyzed with a common index, "extension/shortening of the average life expectancy."The average estimated effective dose was 4.4 mSv (male 4.7 mSv; female 4.0 mSv) for dedicated PET and 13.5 mSv (male 14.2 mSv; female 12.8 mSv) for PET/computed tomography (CT). The risk-benefit break-even age from the viewpoint of radiation exposure was in the 40s for men and 30s for women for dedicated PET and in the 50s for men and 50s (variable injection dose) or 60s (constant injection dose) for women for PET/CT.FDG-PET cancer screening is beneficial for examinees above the break-even ages. The risks and benefits should be explained to examinees because of the larger radiation used in cancer FDG-PET screening compared with other X-ray tests.
BOWOOSS: bionic optimized wood shells with sustainability

In architecture, shell construction is used for the most efficient, large spatial structures. Until now the use of wood rather
played a marginal role, implementing those examples of architecture, although this material offers manifold advantages,
especially against the background of accelerating shortage of resources and increasing requirements concerning the
energy balance. Regarding the implementation of shells, nature offers a wide range of suggestions. The focus of the
examinations is on the shells of marine plankton, especially of diatoms, whose richness in species promises the discovery
of entirely new construction principles. The project is targeting at transferring advantageous features of these organisms
on industrial produced, modular wood shell structures. Currently a transfer of these structures in CAD - models is taking
place, helping to perform stress analysis by computational methods. Micro as well as macro structures are the subject of
diverse consideration, allowing to draw the necessary conclusions for an architectural design. The insights of these tests
are the basis for the development of physical models on different scales, which are used to verify the different
approaches. Another important aim which is promoted in the project is to enhance the competitiveness of timber
construction. Downsizing of the prefabricated structural elements leads to considerable lower transportation costs as
abnormal loads can be avoided as far as possible and means of transportation can be loaded with higher efficiency so that
an important contribution to the sustainability in the field of architecture can also be made.
A forgiveness-based approach: an analysis of forgiveness and its uses in the basque conflict

From the second half of the twentieth century, forgiveness has come to occupy an important place in political transition processes, both in the passage from dictatorship to democracy and at the end of violent internal political conflicts. The implications of forgiveness are not limited to moral or religious issues, but also involve social, political and legal aspects that further complicate the widely disparate interpretations of its conditions (acknowledgement of fault, repentance, etc.) and purposes (reconciliation, social cohesion, justice, etc.).

FORGIVEBASQ aims to study the uses of forgiveness in the Basque conflict and its role in the current peace process. Firstly, I will develop a theoretical framework on forgiveness by adopting a philosophical approach that incorporates a transversal moral, political and social perspective and helps to illustrate its complex transformations and diverse practices. This transdisciplinary theoretical framework will be articulated around three axes: history, areas and conditions/purposes of forgiveness. Secondly, a diachronic study of forgiveness in the Basque context will be carried out by means of a documentary analysis. This will serve to identify and explain how forgiveness has been present in the Basque conflict, what role it plays in the peace process, how it has evolved and been transformed, and the key points at which forgiveness emerged in the political and social debate. Previously developed analytical tools will be employed in this endeavor.

Training activities and academic dissemination measures will be complemented by transfer activities that include meetings and public activities with Basque institutions and social organizations. This will go hand-in-hand with the development of educational resources that will use the project findings to achieve a significant social impact.
Continental U.S. streamflow trends from 1940 to 2009 and their relationships with watershed spatial characteristics

Changes in streamflow are an important area of ongoing research in the hydrologic sciences. To better understand spatial patterns in past changes in streamflow, we examined relationships between watershed-scale spatial characteristics and trends in streamflow. Trends in streamflow were identified by analyzing mean daily flow observations between 1940 and 2009 from 967 U.S. Geological Survey stream gages. Results indicated that streamflow across the continental U.S., as a whole, increased while becoming less extreme between 1940 and 2009. However, substantial departures from the continental U.S. (CONUS) scale pattern occurred at the regional scale, including increased annual maxima, decreased annual minima, overall drying trends, and changes in streamflow variability. A subset of watersheds belonging to a reference data set exhibited significantly smaller trend magnitudes than those observed in nonreference watersheds. Boosted regression tree models were applied to examine the influence of watershed characteristics on streamflow trend magnitudes at both the CONUS and regional scale. Geographic location was found to be of particular importance at the CONUS scale while local variability in hydroclimate and topography tended to have a strong influence on regional-scale patterns in streamflow trends. This methodology facilitates detailed, data-driven analyses of how the characteristics of individual watersheds interact with large-scale hydroclimate forces to influence how changes in streamflow manifest.

A simple to use, accurate and cost-effective blood test for large-scale colon cancer screening

Universal Diagnostics (UDX) is a biomedicine start-up focused on early detection of cancer using leading-edge technologies. Our mission is to make cancer a curable disease by detecting it early through an accurate, simple to use, and cost-effective diagnostic kit.
During the last 5 years, UDX has been developing a mass spectrometry (MS) based metabolic analysis that allows very cost-effective and accurate detection of metabolic markers in blood, for early detection of different types of cancer. 
The first product of the company (the one this proposal is all about) is ColonScan: A simple, noninvasive, accurate (AUC 92%) and inexpensive, blood-based screening test to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and adenomas (precancerous stages), allowing early detection and cancer prevention. 
ColonScan will be highly accurate, easily scalable worldwide, simple to use, non-invasive and inexpensive; ColonScan presents all characteristics and requirements to be adopted as CRC screening program for average risk population since, our technology can be included routinely in normal blood tests at annual or biannual medical check-ups. Moreover, the metabolomics platform developed in ColonScan project can be applied and upscaled to other types of cancer with no cost increase.
CRC is the third most commonly diagnosed and leading cause of cancer death in the world, despite CRC is considered a completely preventable disease. All CRC guidelines recommends regularly (annual or biannual) screening of average risk population (50-85 years old).
This represents a huge market opportunity, which according to our conservative estimations means a target population of 380 Million people and 12 Billion market opportunity.
The ultimate objective of ColonScan Phase 1 project is to assess the feasibility of our business innovation project, under a commercial, technical and financial point of view to minimize any potential risk that might endanger our business plan.
Performance evaluation of photovoltaic arrays subject to a Line-Ground fault

In this work, the effect of Line-to-Ground fault on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) arrays is analyzed. Due to the nature of their outdoor operation, PV arrays are subject to extreme weather conditions that affect their normal operation. The exposure of cables and junction boxes to such environmental conditions leads to different types of connection faults. Given that the frame of the PV panel is metallic, a short-circuit between the Line (positive charged wire) and the ground may occur frequently. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is then used to improve the efficiency of PV arrays. Simulation results show the large power loss caused by such type of fault and the effectiveness of the proposed approach in increasing the system's efficiency.
February is the Cruelest Month: Neoliberalism and the Economy of Mourning in Lisa Moore’s February

IN TAKING STOCK of the present state of literature in Newfoundland and Labrador, a crucial development over the last twenty years is evident — the emergence of a palpably cosmopolitan and globalized sensibility. This is particularly the case in the work of urban writers such as Michael Winter, Jessica Grant, Edward Riche, and Lisa Moore. Not only are the characters in their fiction cosmopolitan globe-trotters who are plugged into an international popular culture, but their work also reflects a preoccupation with the sophisticated technology, mobility, flows of trade, and geopolitical relations that characterize our present globalized milieu. At the same time, there is ambivalence about globalization in their work. That is especially important to underscore because celebratory interpretations of globalization (characterized as a rise in global prosperity brought about by greater mobility and financial and technological innovations) have been increasingly critiqued for effacing — even providing covering fire for — an underlying institutionalization of a neoliberal ideology. As theorists such as Zygmunt Bauman, Pierre Bourdieu and David Harvey have highlighted, neoliberal thinking — which privileges deregulation, privatization, the easing of financial transactions, diminution of governmental involvement in the economy, and reduction of the public sector — has facilitated and justified a vast, global redistribution of wealth. For Harvey, the triumph of neoliberalism’s positing of itself as a kind of world-wide common sense is evident in the treatment of the unprecedented concentration of wealth in “the world’s major financial centres” as “a mere and in some instances even unfortunate byproduct of neoliberalization. The very idea that this might be ... the fundamental core of what neoliberalization has been about all along appears unthinkable.” (119)
[S-A]Lkidón de quinua, para conformar un sistema ternario, en la estabilidad de una emulsión tipo pickering

The research group of Universidad America, Center for Bioprospecting in Chemical Engineering Applied to the Study of Biomolecules and Industry, has focused on the study of quinoa starch, seeking to define a pattern of use. Giving origin and importance to this project with the initiative to obtain an emulsifying agent of cosmetic grade from quinoa starch, for which four fundamental stages must be carried out that guarantee the application of this surfactant in Pickering type emulsions. However, what is developed in this project does not include the acceptance nor the regulations for its use directly on human skin, nor does it ensure the properties that the obtained emulsion can provide. Initially, the extraction of the quinoa starch and its physicochemical characterization is carried out; then proceed to make a chemical modification that leads to the design and development of the first design of experiments where the concentration of the reagent Octenil succinate anhydride and the pH of the reaction is varied.
