Coals, Lignite, and Peat
Authors: Keppeler James G. 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
The principal types of coal, in order of metamorphic development, are lignite, subbituminous, bituminous, and anthracite. While not generally considered a coal, peat is the first development stage in the “coalification” process, in which there is a gradual increase in the carbon content of the fossil organic material and concomitant reduction in oxygen. There are a number of tests, qualitative and quantitative, used to provide information on coals; these tests are help to the user and/or equipment designer. The ultimate analysis provides the data required to conduct fundamental studies of the air required for stoichiometric combustion, the volumetric and weight amounts of combustion gases produced, and the theoretical boiler efficiencies. The quantity of ash in the coal varies from as little as 6% or less to more than 30% by weight. Coal cleaning is accomplished by physical or chemical means, although physical coal cleaning is by far the most predominant.
Gas Turbines
Authors: Miller Harold E. , Nemec Todd S. 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Gas turbines are used to power aircraft and land vehicles, to drive generators (alternators) to produce electric power, and to drive other devices such as pumps and compressors. Gas turbine performance is established by three basic parameters: mass flow, pressure ratio, and firing temperature. The three subsystems that comprise the gas turbine proper are the compressor, combustor, and turbine. There are several possible mechanical configurations for the basic simple‐cycle, or open‐cycle, gas turbine. There are also some important variants on the basic cycle—intercooled, regenerative, and reheat cycles. The most successful automotive application of gas turbines is the power plant for the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. Service requirements of aircraft and industrial gas turbines differ from other power plants principally in the fact that several key components operate at very high temperatures and thus have limited lives and have to be repaired or replaced periodically to avoid failures during operation.
Quantification of neocortical ratios in stem primates
Authors: Long Adam , Bloch Jonathan I. , Silcox Mary T. 
Published: February 2015

ABSTRACTExtant euprimates (=crown primates) have a characteristically expanded neocortical region of the brain relative to that of other mammals, but the timing of that expansion in their evolutionary history is poorly resolved. Examination of anatomical landmarks on fossil endocasts of Eocene euprimates suggests that significant neocortical expansion relative to contemporaneous mammals was already underway. Here, we provide quantitative estimates of neocorticalization in stem primates (plesiadapiforms) relevant to the question of whether relative neocortical expansion was uniquely characteristic of the crown primate radiation. Ratios of neocortex to endocast surface areas were calculated for plesiadapiforms using measurements from virtual endocasts of the paromomyid Ignacius graybullianus (early Eocene, Wyoming) and the microsyopid Microsyops annectens (middle Eocene, Wyoming). These data are similar to a published estimate for the plesiadapid, Plesiadapis tricuspidens, but contrast with those calculated for early Tertiary euprimates in being within the 95% confidence intervals for archaic mammals generally. Interpretation of these values is complicated by the paucity of sampled endocasts for older stem primates and euarchontogliran outgroups, as well as by a combination of effects related to temporal trends, allometry, and taxon‐unique specializations. Regardless, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that a shift in brain organization occurred in the first euprimates, likely in association with elaborations to the visual system.

Phase relation betweenCAPEand precipitation at diurnal scales over the Indian summer monsoon region
Authors: Subrahmanyam Kandula Venkata , Kumar Karanam Kishore , Narendra Babu Alur 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThe phase relation between convection and precipitation at diurnal scales is essential for convective parameterization in numerical weather prediction models. For the first time in a meteorological study, we quantified the phase relationship between convective available potential energy (CAPE) and precipitation over the Indian summer monsoon region at diurnal scales using space‐based precipitation andCAPEobservations from 7 years (2006–2012) ofGPS‐ROmeasurements. Also, we quantified the phase relationship for the land and oceanic regions separately. On average, the peak inCAPEmagnitudes leads precipitation peak by ∼2–4 h over the study region.

AbstractIntroductionAlthough a growing selection of antidepressants is available, a significant number of patients do not reach clinical remission, despite multiple trials. Data concerning the efficacy and safety of combination therapies with newer antidepressants are limited.MethodsFifteen inpatients with treatment‐resistant depression (TRD), defined as Beck Depression Inventory‐2 (BDI‐2) scores >14 despite treatment with adequate doses of ≥1 antidepressant classes for ≥6 weeks, were treated with agomelatine plus bupropion for ≥6 weeks, and compared to 15 patients on antidepressant monotherapy with TRD matched on age, sex, and TRD stage based on retrospective chart review. The primary outcome was change in BDI‐2 scores. Secondary outcomes included treatment response (BDI‐2 score decrease by ≥50%), remission (BDI‐2 score <13), routinely measured cardiometabolic parameters and adverse effects.ResultsAfter a mean of 6 ± 1 weeks, BDI‐2 scores decreased by 20.3 ± 5.6 points in the combination group compared to 12.5 ± 15.1 points in the monotherapy group (P = 0.073; Cohen's d = 0.7). Altogether, 73.3% in the combination group responded compared to 53.3% on monotherapy (P = 0.27). About 60.0% on combination therapy reached remission compared to 40% on monotherapy (P = 0.28), a difference equivalent to a number‐needed‐to‐treat = 4. Treatment response was independent of the degree of TRD (P = 0.27). Bupropion‐agomelatine cotreatment was well tolerated and laboratory adverse effect parameters were not altered.ConclusionDespite the small sample and uncontrolled study design, the good remission rate in TRD patients receiving agomelatine plus bupropion, particularly in comparison to the monotherapy group, indicates that this combination treatment should be explored further as a potentially promising strategy for patients with TRD.

AbstractInhibitor of differentiation/DNA‐binding (Id) proteins are helix–loop–helix (HLH) transcription factors. The Id protein family (Id1–Id4) mediates tissue homeostasis by regulating cellular processes including differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Ids typically function as dominant negative HLH proteins, which bind other HLH proteins and sequester them away from DNA promoter regions. Previously, we have found that Id3 induced apoptosis in immortalized human keratinocytes upon UVB exposure, consistent with its role as a tumor suppressor. To investigate the role of Id3 in malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells (A431), a tetracycline‐regulated inducible system was used to induce Id3 in cell culture and mouse xenograft models. We found that upon Id3 induction, there was a decrease in cell number under low serum conditions, as well as in soft agar. Microarray, RT‐PCR, immunoblot, siRNA, and inhibitor studies revealed that Id3 induced expression of Elk‐1, an E‐twenty‐six (ETS)‐domain transcription factor, inducing procaspase‐8 expression and activation. Id3 deletion mutants revealed that 80 C‐terminal amino acids, including the HLH, are important for Id3‐induced apoptosis. In a mouse xenograft model, Id3 induction decreased tumor size by 30%. Using immunofluorescent analysis, we determined that the tumor size decrease was also mediated through apoptosis. Furthermore, we show that Id3 synergizes with 5‐FU and cisplatin therapies for nonmelanoma skin cancer cells. Our studies have shown a molecular mechanism by which Id3 induces apoptosis in SCC, and this information can potentially be used to develop new treatments for SCC patients.
