2D Off-Resonance Nutation NQR Spectroscopy of Spin 3/2 Nuclei
Authors: Maćkowiak Mariusz , Kątowski Piotr
Published: February 2015

The effects of off-resonance irradiation in nutation NQR experiments are demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical description of the off-resonance effects in 2D nutation NQR spectroscopy is given, and general exact formulas for the asymmetry parameter are obtained. It is shown that the outcome of the off-resonance nutation experiments depends on the data acquisition procedure, leading to one- or three-line nutation spectra. To explain this fact and to describe the off-resonance nutation experiment properly, the transient response theory of a quadrupolar spin system to an RF pulse was modified using the wave-function approach. The 2D separation of interactions technique has been applied to separate a static and a randomly time-fluctuating dynamic part of the quadrupole interaction in the antiferroelectric phase of poly-crystalline ammonium dihydrogen arsenate.

Two-dimensional off-resonance nutation NQR spectroscopy has been used to determine the full quadrupolar tensor of spin-3/2 nuclei in several molecular crystals containing the 35Cl and 75As nuclei. The off-resonance phenomena in 2D NQR are very important from the practical point of view (determination of ƞ in multiple or broad-line spectrum) and also provide interesting information on the dynamic properties of a quadrupolar spin system.
Halogen Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants: Comparison of ab initio Calculations which include Correlation, with Experiment

Published: February 2015

Ab initio determination of the electric field gradient (EFG) tensors at halogen and other centres ena-bled determination of the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCC) for a diverse set of axially symmetric (C3v , C∞v, D∞h and other symmetries) inorganic and organic molecules, where the heavy ele-ments are Cl, Br, and I with C, Si, Ge, and Sn hydrides. The latter elements are in an approximately tetrahedral environment. The study presents results at a standardised level of calculation, triple-zeta in the valence space (TZV) plus polarisation functions (TZVP) for the equilibrium geometry stage; all-electron MP2 correlation is included in all these studies. f-Orbital exponents were optimised for both Br and I centres in the methanes; the atomic populations of the f-orbital components are very small for the Br-and I-atoms, confirming their role as polarisation functions rather than having any bonding character. The EFG are determined at equilibrium with the TZVP basis set, except Sn and I centres where the basis set is TZV + MP2. For the bromo and iodo compounds, especially the latter, it is essential to allow for core polarisation, by decontraction of the p,d-functions. This is conveniently done by initial optimization of the structure with a partly contracted basis, followed by reestablishment of the equilibrium structure with the decontracted basis. A close correlation of the observed (microwave spectral) data with the calculations was observed, using the 'best' values for the atomic quadrupole moments for Cl, Br, and I; thus there seems no need to postulate that the value of QBr for 79Br and 81Br are in error. The SCF and MP2 wave-functions were converted into localised molecular orbitals by the Boys Method. This allowed a study of the differing s/p/d-hybridisation ratios, and the centroid positions, to be compared with the quadrupole coupling constants. The charge distributions for the atoms were converted into local bond dipoles, which in turn are correlated with the electronegativity differences of the bonded atoms.
Dynamic Properties and Phase Transitions in A2ZnBr4(A= (CH3)4 N and (CH3)4P) as Studied by 79Br NQR and Multinuclear NMR
Authors: Tada Hironobu , Nakayama Hirokazu , Nakamura Nobuo
Published: February 2015

In order to understand the mechanism of ferroelastic phase transitions in A2ZnBr4 (A = (CH3)4 N and (CH3)4 P), the temperature dependences of 79Br NQR frequencies and the spin-lattice relaxation times were measured. The temperature dependences of the 1H and 31P spin-lattice relaxation times were measured as well for a possible correlation between the cation dynamics and the phase transition. Although the phase transition temperatures of these two compounds differ much (~ 100 K), the correlation times for the cation reorientation at the individual transition temperatures amount to some 10-11 s for both compounds.
Structure and Dynamics of Li3InBr6 and NaInBr4 by Means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Authors: Tomita Yasumasa , Yamada Koji , Ohki Hiroshi , Okuda Tsutomu
Published: February 2015

Li3InBr6 and NaInBr4 have been synthesized and characterized by means of DTA, 81Br NQR, 6Li, 7Li, 23Na, and 115In NMR, and AC conductivity. These measurements revealed the presence of phase transitions and cationic diffusion in both compounds. From the spin-lattice relaxation times of 81Br NQR and the peak widths of 7Li and 23Na NMR spectra, it is deduced that the conduction is due to cationic diffusion. The activity energy for the Li+ diffusion was found to be 24 kJ/mol for Li3InBr6 .
Pressure Dependence of the EFG in Semimetallic Arsenic and Antimony
Authors: Hill G. J. , Keartland J. M. , Hoch M. J. R.
Published: February 2015

The pressure variation of the axial EFG at the ion sites in semimetallic arsenic and antimony, at am-bient temperature, has been investigated using pulsed NQR. A weakly nonlinear decrease of the EFG is observed in both systems. The data are analyzed in terms of the lattice contribution to the EFG, which involves a lattice of point monopoles immersed in a uniform, compensating, background charge. The pressure dependence of the EFG obtained from the present measurements is far weaker than the pres-sure dependence of the calculated lattice contribution. Our results support previous suggestions that va-lence effects are important in determining the EFG in these semimetals.

Comparison of 35Cl NQR Spectra between the Mixed Crystals K2Sn1-xRexCl6 and the Al3+ Doped Crystals K2SnCl6:Al3+
Authors: Seo Y. M. , Pelzl J. , Dimitropoulus C.
Published: February 2015

35Cl Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) has provided a valuable tool for investigating the local structure in mixed crystals K2S1-xRexCl6 and Al3+ doped crystals K2SnCl6:Al3+ . The measured NQR line shapes and relaxation times of both kinds of impurity containing crystals in the cubic phase of the host K2SnCl6 show markedly different impurity effects; static impurity effects in K2Sn1-x RexCl6 and dynamic effects in K2SnCl6 :Al3+ . The 35Cl NQR spectra of K2SnCl6:Al3+ near the transition temperature (Tc) indicate the presence of pretransition of the local structure in the high temperature cubic phase.

Authors: Yeom T. H. , Choh S. H. , Hong K. S. , Yeom H. Y. , Park Y. H. , Yu Y. M.
Published: February 2015

In an alexandrite single crystal four sets of NMR spectra for 27Al (I=5/2) were observed in the crystallographic ab, be, and ca planes. The AI (I) center has four magnetically inequivalent Al sites, whereas the AI (II) center has two. The nuclear quadrupole coupling constant and asymmetry parameter of Al(I) and AI(II) in an alexandrite crystal were determined. Within the experimental accuracy, our parameters turned out to have the same values as those of a chrysoberyl crystal.
14N NQR Study of Mixed Complexes (NaNO2)1-x(ANO3)x : (A=K, Na)
Authors: Park Y. M. , Song S. K. , Seo Y. M. , Jung J. K. , Choh S. H.
Published: February 2015

14N nuclear quadrupole resonance of the system (NaNO2)1-x(ANO3) with A = K and Na in the x-range 0≤x<0.5 and the temperature range 77 K≤7<360 K has been studied. The 14N NQR frequency of NaNO2 and its line width do not change with x, the latter fact untrasting the results of other mixed systems such as Na1-xAgxNO2. This indicates that in (NaNO2)1-x(ANO3)x highly mobile lattice defects exist. The dependence on x of the rate of change in the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 near the transition temperature is discussed in terms of a correlated flipping motion of the NO-

Authors: Pickardt Joachim , Rautenberg Norbert
Published: February 2015

Crystals of the complex [Cu(NCO)2(C6Hi2N4)2] could be obtained by reaction of copper- (II)nitrate, hexamethylenetetramine, and KNCO in CHCI3 as a solvent. The crystals are triclinic, space group Cl, Z = 4, a = 1373.1(9), b = 2083.1(9), c = 642.6(3) pm, a = 91.05(4), β = 90.54(6), y = 107.39(6)°. The copper atom is bonded to two terminal cyanato groups via the nitrogen atoms, and to two liexamethylentetramine molecules. In the solid state the coordination of the copper atom is, however, tetragonal pyramidal, because there is an additional, rather long bond to one of the hexamethylenetetramine molecules of the neighbouring complex unit, resulting in the formation of chains
Neutrale und ionische Keto/Enoltautomere: Zum Ursprung der Stabilitätsumkehr und zu ungewöhnlichen Substituenten-Effekten / Neutral and Ionic Keto/Enol Tautomers: On the Origin of Stability Reversal and Unusual Substituent Effects
Authors: Frenking Gemot , Heinrich Nikolaus , Schmidt Jochen , Schwarz Helmut
Published: February 2015

The reversal in stability for neutral keto/enol tautomers and their cation radicals is mainly due to the removal of an electron from an π-orbital of the enol, which has antibonding properties for the C-O-bond. The total electronic energy gained in the oxidation of enols is more than sufficient to compensate for the increase in nuclear/nuclear repulsion when comparing keto/enol tautomers; this, however, does not hold for the keto systems investigated. The marked methyl substituent effect found in O, C-1, and C-2 substituted enol cation radicals is not reflected in the charge distribution of the corresponding ions. Comparison of the MNDO calculated heats of formation of ions with that of their neutral counterparts indicates that the changes in bond dissociation energies account at least qualitatively for the experimentally observed effects

Published: February 2015

A synthesis of high yields of TP 5 is described. The a-amino functions were blocked by the acid-labile 1-(1 -adamantyl)-1-methylethoxycarbonyl-(Adpoc)group. The Adpoc group is cleaved under mild acidolytic conditions with 3% TFA in CH2CI2 while the tert-butyl residues remained intact. This selective cleavage of the Adpoc group compared with the Boc and tert-butyl residues allows new strategies for the synthesis of large peptides

The use of focus groups to investigate sensitive topics: an example taken from research on adolescent girls' perceptions about sexual risks
Authors: Oliveira Dora Lucia de
Published: February 2015

The methodology of focus groups has been increasingly employed in the context of research in the social sciences, particularly in health-related inquiries. Considerations about the sensitive aspects of such research are not, however, very often seen in research reports or discussion on ways of conducting sensitive research. The scope of this paper is to share an experience of conducting focus group research on sensitive topics, such as AIDS, risk and sexual issues, highlighting some methodological issues. More specifically, it suggests ways of working with teenage girls in focus groups about sensitive topics. The advantages of the use of focus groups to explore views on HIV/AIDS and other sexual risks are also discussed. Socio-cultural approaches to risk and feminist thinking permeate the main arguments.
Indaziflam Enhances Buckhorn Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) Control from Postemergence Herbicides
Authors: McCullough Patrick E. , Johnston Christopher R. , Reed Thomas V. , Yu Jialin
Published: February 2015

Buckhorn plantain is a perennial weed in turfgrass and efficacy of POST herbicides is often inconsistent for control in spring. Indaziflam is a cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor used for PRE control of annual weeds in turf and applications have shown to be injurious to established buckhorn plantain. The objectives of this research were to evaluate (1) effects of indaziflam application rate and placement on buckhorn plantain injury; (2) effects of tank-mixing indaziflam with POST herbicides for buckhorn plantain control; and (3) physiological effects of indaziflam on absorption and translocation of14C-2,4-D in buckhorn plantain. In greenhouse experiments, indaziflam reduced buckhorn plantain shoot mass 61 to 75% from the nontreated at 4 wk after treatment (WAT) and hierarchical rank of application placements were: foliar + soil ≥ soil ≥ foliar. Differences in biomass reduction from application rates (27.5 and 55 g ai ha−1) were not detected. In field experiments, indaziflam at 55 g ha−1controlled buckhorn plantain 34% at 9 WAT but enhanced the speed of control from all herbicides tested in tank mixtures. Exclusive applications of 2,4-D or 2,4-D + dicamba + MCPP provided poor control (< 70%) of buckhorn plantain at 9 WAT, but tank mixtures with indaziflam provided 81 and 98% control, respectively. Fluroxypyr and simazine alone controlled buckhorn plantain < 38% but tank mixtures with indaziflam enhanced control more than twice as much from exclusive applications. Tank-mixing indaziflam with metsulfuron did not improve control from metsulfuron alone after 9 wk. Bermudagrass injury was not detected from any treatment. In laboratory experiments,14C-2,4-D absorption and translocation in buckhorn plantain was similar with or without indaziflam tank mixtures at 72 and 168 h after treatment. Overall, indaziflam may improve buckhorn plantain control from POST herbicides by providing additive phytotoxicity in tank mixtures in spring.
Thomas Telford's saddle bearings for Menai Suspension Bridge
Authors: Day William
Published: February 2015

The bearings of Menai Suspension Bridge represent a significant development in the understanding of structures and of the mechanism of suspension bridges. Thomas Telford's interest in suspension bridges began with studies for Runcorn in 1814, but at a time when little was known. Although a number of suspension bridges were built prior and were contemporary with Menai and Conwy, few survive and most were of largely intuitive design construction. Telford's research identified that it was necessary for the catenary to transmit load into the back spans and that the load in the catenary would vary depending on the live load on the suspended span. If the saddle were fixed, then the loads would be transmitted into the masonry. It was also acknowledged that changes in temperature would also lead to changes in load. To overcome this problem a means was required that would allow the saddle to move freely. The solution was the use of a series of roller bearings located beneath the chain saddles and fixed to the top of the pyramids, Telford's description for the towers. This paper discusses the design of these bearings, how they were incorporated into the catenary and the towers, reports of the bearings in service and the bearing components that survive in the care of Menai Bridge Community Heritage Trust and displayed in the Menai Heritage exhibition in the Thomas Telford Centre.
Teaching sustainability to first year civil engineering students
Authors: Bramald Tom M. , Heidrich Oliver , Hall Jean A.
Published: February 2015

The role of, and need for, universities to create and promote a holistic approach to engineering is a key part of developing sustainability literacy among future engineers. This paper reports on three different, but linked, exercises that teach undergraduates the complexity of sustainability in civil engineering. In the first exercise, students prepared a written commentary on an exploration of their campus locale to identify typical civil engineering issues such as construction trends over time and set these against economic and social demands and impacts at a city scale. The second exercise asked students to rank the importance of components of sustainable communities as a civil engineer, and then rank them separately as a citizen. In the third exercise, ten groups of approximately ten students were led through a discussion around a holistic approach to engineering and the impact of civil engineering infrastructure development. These exercises provide students with an understanding of hard-to-measure boundary conditions, more informally ‘context’, which can surround the technical excellence at the heart of civil engineering systems. The paper reports student feedback and discusses implications for teaching sustainability. The exercises and experiences presented in this paper can be utilised by other civil engineering degree providers.
Modeling for Determinants of Human Trafficking: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Cho Seo-Young
Published: February 2015

This study aims to identify robust push and pull factors of human trafficking. I test for the robustness of 70 push and 63 pull factors suggested in the literature. In doing so, I employ an extreme bound analysis, running more than two million regressions with all possible combinations of variables for up to 153 countries during the period of 1995–2010. My results show that crime prevalence robustly explains human trafficking both in destination and origin countries. Income level also has a robust impact, suggesting that the cause of human trafficking shares that of economic migration. Law enforcement matters more in origin countries than destination countries. Interestingly, a very low level of gender equality may have constraining effects on human trafficking outflow, possibly because gender discrimination limits female mobility that is necessary for the occurrence of human trafficking.
The Canadian Criminal Code Offence of Trafficking in Persons: Challenges from the Field and within the Law
Authors: Kaye Julie , Hastie Bethany
Published: February 2015

Despite early ratification of the United Nations Trafficking in Persons Protocol, the Criminal Code offence of trafficking in persons in Canada has received little analytical or interpretive attention to date. Adopted in 2005, this offence has resulted in successful convictions in a limited number of cases and criminal justice authorities have continued to rely on alternate or complementary charges in cases of human trafficking. In particular, prosecutions for cases involving non-sexual labour trafficking remain extremely low. This article provides a socio-legal examination of why the offence of trafficking in persons in Canada is under-utilized in labour trafficking cases. Based on an analysis of data generated from 56 one-on-one interviews gathered from a variety of actors involved in counter trafficking response mechanisms and a legal examination of the key components of the offence, we argue that definitional challenges have resulted in narrow understandings and problematic interpretations of the Criminal Code offence. Such narrow interpretations have resulted in restricted applicability, particularly in cases of labour trafficking. More broadly, the article points to the need to address the limitations of the Criminal Code while formulating responses to trafficking that are not dependent on criminal law.
Bridging the gap in marine and terrestrial studies
Authors: Munguia Pablo , Ojanguren A. F.
Published: February 2015

Ecologists are interested in understanding natural phenomena and strive to make comparisons across systems to better understand broad ecological processes and patterns. Recent reviews showcased how marine and terrestrial ecologists (as an example of two isolated disciplines) can benefit from sharing information. Here, a literature review shows that marine studies often lack the generality needed to bridge the often observed gap between theory developed in marine and terrestrial systems. In order to stimulate constructive comparisons across systems, we discuss potential reasons for this lower generality, with the goal of more broadly understanding ecological processes and patterns.
Using environmental impact assessment and post‐construction monitoring data to inform wind energy developments

Published: February 2015

Ecological data are routinely collected for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and post‐consent planning requirements to assess potential negative impacts of developments on wildlife. Such data are almost always obtained from a single site and this often prohibits robust statistical analysis due to insufficient replication. Here, we integrate data collected during EIAs and post‐construction monitoring from multiple sites to study the impact of wind energy developments on the distribution and abundance of black grouse. We show that the construction of wind turbines at these seven sites had no detectable effect on the abundance of lekking black grouse, but that leks within 500 m of the nearest planned wind turbine moved locally after construction (median distance before construction was 250 m and after was 803 m). This effect was not observed for leks greater than 500 m from a wind turbine. Although not examined within this study, there are several reasons which, individually or in combination, could underlie the localized movement of black grouse we report. These include the operation of the wind energy development, volume of visitors, changes in land management both within and surrounding the site, and habitat enhancement measures designed to attract black grouse to specific areas away from the wind energy development. We demonstrate that ecological data routinely collected by EIAs and post‐construction surveys from multiple projects can be combined to provide a robust ecological evidence base on which to inform development decisions. We recommend that easily‐accessible data repositories be maintained by regulatory authorities to enable the development of a robust ecological evidence base to guide planning decisions across a wide range of different wildlife.
Our Practice Is Our Passion: Development and Delivery of a 21st-Century Doctor of Public Health Program
Authors: DeBate Rita D. , Petersen Donna J. , Wathington Deanna , Wolfe-Quintero Kate
Published: February 2015

Twenty-first century advances have significantly altered the functions of public health professionals, resulting in a need for advanced level training in community health leadership and practice-oriented research without interruption of professional careers.

We present an example of an innovative Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) program developed at the University of South Florida College of Public Health. This program incorporates 21st century public health competencies within a competency-based curricular model, delivered in a hybrid format (fall or spring online delivery and a 1-week face-to-face summer institute) in collaboration between academic and practice-based public health professionals at local and national levels.

This revised competency-based program is an example of how to meet the needs of the 21st century public health practitioners while maintaining their connections to the practice world.

Redefining Leadership Education in Graduate Public Health Programs: Prioritization, Focus, and Guiding Principles
Authors: Lachance Jennifer A. , Oxendine Jeffrey S.
Published: February 2015

Public health program graduates need leadership skills to be effective in the complex, changing public health environment. We propose a new paradigm for schools of public health in which technical and leadership skills have equal priority as core competencies for graduate students.

Leadership education should focus on the foundational skills necessary to effect change independent of formal authority, with activities offered at varying levels of intensity to engage different students. Leadership development initiatives should be practice based, process focused, interdisciplinary, diversity based, adaptive, experimental, innovative, and empowering, and they should encourage authenticity.

Leadership training in graduate programs will help lay the groundwork for public health professionals to have an immediate impact in the workforce and to prioritize continuous leadership development throughout their careers.

Published: February 2015

The University of Massachusetts Amherst is part of Five-Colleges Inc, a consortium that includes the university and four liberal arts colleges. Consortium faculty from the School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the university and from the colleges are working to bridge liberal arts with public health graduate education.

We outline four key themes guiding this effort and exemplary curricular tools for innovative community-based and multidisciplinary academic and research programs. The structure of the consortium has created a novel trajectory for student learning and engagement, with important ramifications for pedagogy and professional practice in public health.

We show how graduate public health education and liberal arts can, and must, work in tandem to transform public health practice in the 21st century.

Published: February 2015

National stakeholders in health system improvement and patient safety including accreditation bodies have requested health professional educational programs to include multiple interprofessional experiences through didactic and experiential opportunities. Clinical and population health faculty at the University of South Carolina redesigned and expanded an introductory interprofessional course to include more than 500 students from public health, social work, medicine, pharmacy, and nursing. Students participated in 3 live class meetings and completed required online coursework to explore concepts related to social determinants of health and health disparities, health system improvement, patient safety, cultural competency, and ethics to address interprofessional education core competencies. Course modifications and expanded student enrollment improved understanding of key health concepts and appreciation of interprofessional collaboration.
