Radon adsorption on an aerogel
Creators: name: Schopfer, Carl J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Radon is an important radioactive gas, responsible for environmental exposures and subsequent impact on human health. It is a Noble gas and under most circumstances is not chemically reactive. Its physical properties and resultant behavior, however, may not be simple in all cases, especially where barriers to free diffusion are present, or when encountering materials with special properties. The importance of radon comes from its radioactivity, by imparting energy in material after decay, with resulting damage to living tissue. Transport in the environment is controlled by its physical properties, since it is chemically inert. Aerogels made of silica glass are a relatively new material with the unique property of having a very large surface area, on the order of hundreds of m2 per gram, compared to the exterior surface of the bulk volume of typical solid materials. Insight may be gained into the behavior of both radon and unique materials by observing how radon interacts with such materials.Silica aerogel monoliths with bulk densities of approximately 0.25 g cm-3 were manufactured and exposed to radon gas diffusing freely into the gel using a closed chamber. Measurements were taken while allowing the gas to diffuse out of the gel. Radon is found to diffuse out of the sample chamber at about the same rate when a gel material is present as from an empty chamber. Long-term measurements show radioactivity (from progeny) remains present leading to the conclusion that, the radon may have penetrated some distance into the gel. This leaves open the possibility of applying aerogels as a radon detector.The aerogel manufactured in this study did not preferentially absorb radon. Some evidence suggests that radon may have penetrated the surface however, based on increased long-term radioactivity.Doping the gel with cerium salts, known to cause glass produced by melting processes to scintillate when exposed to ionizing radiation did not produce observable light signal distinguishable from Cerenkov radiation, thereby excluding the hypothesis that the cerium will scintillate in the current arrangement.

description: Tymmophorus erythrozonus (Förster 1850, Tryphon)
Bassus rufiventris Gravenhorst 1829 (homonym)
Bassus holmgreni Bridgman 1882
Zootrephes antennatus Davis 1895
Tymmophorus lacustris Schmiedeknecht 1913
Diagnosis. Fore wing length 3.5–4.3 mm. Antenna of both sexes with 18–19 flagellomeres. Mesoscutum and mesopleuron entirely smooth and shining, mostly unsculptured, sometimes with some weak punctures along anterior margin. Propodeum with a full set of strong carinae enclosing basal, lateral and petiolar areas, the areas with rugose sculpture. Tergite 2 1.3–1.6 times as long as wide. Metasoma in females laterally compressed posterior to fourth segment, widest part of metasoma is thus at base or middle of third segment.
Colouration of females. Antenna brown, usually paler below but very rarely bright orange. Head and mesosoma black, face with yellow along inner orbits, yellow or brown on clypeus and mouthparts, yellow on hind corner of pronotum, tegula, and sometimes upper mesepimeron; without yellow shoulder marks, scutellum black. Legs orange, coxae basally black with a yellow apex, fore coxa sometimes entirely yellow, trochanters yellow; femora orange, often dark basally; hind tibia and tarsus orange. Metasoma with orange markings on tergites 2 to 3 or 4, usually with tergite 2 black basally and tergite 4 partly dark.
Colouration of males. As in females but with yellow ventrally on antenna, face entirely yellow or with black marks arising below antennal sockets, yellow marks often on lower propleuron and sometimes anteriorly on mesosternum. Fore and mid coxae all and hind coxa mainly yellow. Metasoma as in females but with orange colouration on metasoma often extending further back.
Material examined. New for North Korea: Mt. Pektusan, Explosion-Lake, 2000–2500m, leg. Dely&Draskovits, 18.VII.1977. 1♀, at TMA.
Finland (7), Germany (2), Netherlands (4), North Korea (1), Sweden (12), Switzerland (3).
Distribution. Palaearctic.
Figures. Metasoma ♀ (Fig. 26 A), habitus (Fig. 35 D), male terminal sclerites (Fig. 38 E).
Notes. Tymmophorus suspiciosus Brischke has been removed from synonymy with T. erythrozonus here, but it remains unclear to which of the two taxa the other junior synonyms belong. Until the types can be studied, we thus do not change their status.

description: Tymmophorus gelidus Dasch 1964a
Diagnosis. Fore wing length about 3.5 mm. Antenna of both sexes with 15–16 flagellomeres. Mesoscutum with strongly coriaceous bands starting at notauli and extending back to scutellum, smooth and punctate in-between and laterally. Mesopleuron strongly coriaceous over most of its surface. Propodeum with a full set of strong carinae enclosing basal, lateral and petiolar areas, the areas with rugose sculpture. Tergite 2 about 0.8 times as long as wide in females. Metasoma in females dorsoventrally depressed, tapered towards apex.
Colouration of females. Antenna black or dark brown. Head and mesosoma black, face usually without yellow along inner orbits, dark brown on clypeus and mouthparts, yellow on tegula, usually without a shoulder mark; scutellum black. Legs mainly dark brown, coxae and trochanters black; femora extensively dark basally and dorsally, hind and usually also mid femur all dark; hind tibia and tarsus yellow to light brown, tibia with dark apex and a quite well-defined subbasal mark. Metasoma black.
Colouration of males. As in female.
Material examined. New for Europe / Sweden: Norrbotten, Kiruna kommun, Abisko NP, Bare mountain above tree limit, 900m. a.s.l., N68°21.648', E18°43.245', leg. SMTP, 26.VI.–15.VII.2006. 1♀, at NRM.
Additional material examined: Canada, Manitoba, Churchill, on tundra, leg. J.E. & R.B. Benson, 7.VII.1956, 1♂, at BMNH.
Notes. This species was described from the Arctic zone in the Northwest Territories and Greenland (Dasch 1964a) and only a single female has up to now been found in northern Sweden. The description is thus based partly on Dasch’s original description.

description: Harrahium Witenberg, 1926
(Members of this genus have a prepharyngeal genital pore and the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly) (Table 9)
Diagnosis. Cyclocoelidae; Haematotrephinae. Body lanceolate to linguiform; oral sucker present in some species; rudimentary ventral sucker usually absent. Genital pore prepharyngeal. Ovary pretesticular, anterior to or opposite to anterior testis, forming triangle with oblique testes near posterior arch of the cyclocoel. Uterine coils overreaching ceca laterally, most commonly in posterior two thirds of body, usually approaching body wall, not invading posttesticular space. Vitelline fields not confluent posteriorly. Parasites in air sacs, lungs, and infraorbital and nasal sinuses of scolopacid birds.
Remarks. Although Yamaguti (1971) considered Harrahium to be a valid genus, several authors considered it to be synonymous with either Cyclocoelum Stossich, 1902 or Haematotrephus Stossich, 1902 (e.g. Joyeux & Baer 1927; Dollfus 1948; Bashkirova 1950; Feizullaev 1950). More recently, Kanev et al. (2002a) and Dronen (2007a) considered it to be a synonym of Haematotrephus. Given that Harrahium halli (Harrah, 1922) and Harrhium tringae (Brandes, 1892) n. comb. have a pretesticular ovary that forms a triangle with the testes (Haematotrephinae) and a prepharyngeal genital pore, both might be placed in Neohaematotrephus except that the vitelline fields of these two species are not confluent posteriorly rather than being confluent, and must therefore be assigned to Harrahium, as originally suggested by Witenberg (1926). However, there has been some concern expressed by previous authors about the intraspecific variability of this characteristic (e.g. Stunkard 1929; Johnston & Simpson 1940; Dubois 1959; Macko & Feige 1960; Macko 1964, 1969; Dubois 1965; Macko et al. 2011) and we would suggest that any specimens in Haematotrephinae be compared to the two species of Harrahium and all the species of Neohaematotrephus until this question is resolved.

description: Finding new mineral deposits has never been an easy job. Increasing demand for a range of commodities, and depletion of existing deposits through mining, means that new frontiers need to be opened up for mineral exploration. These will largely be in regions where prospective basement rocks are concealed under cover. However, identification of these new frontiers is not a simple task, and exploration is challenging in areas where little is known about the geological context. This talk will outline how new datasets give us fresh eyes with which to view the mineral prospectivity of covered parts of Australia, and how integration of these data at a range of scales provides the framework in which to explore and discover new mineral provinces.

description: Wardianum triangulare (Harrah, 1922) — Type species
Syn. Wardianum catoptrophori Dronen, 2007
Type host. Pectoral sandpiper, Caladris melanotos (Vieillot) (Syn. Tringa maculata Vieillot) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae).
Type locality. Creston, Iowa, USA.
Additional hosts. Willet, Tringa semipalmata (Gmelin) (Syn. Catoptrophorus semipalmatus [Gmelin]) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae). Also reported from species of Actitis Illiger, Ereunetes Illiger and Schistrophorus (unknown bird genus)— Yamaguti (1971).
Additional locality. Galveston, Texas, Iowa and Oklahoma, USA—Yamaguti (1971).
Previously proposed synonym. Corpopyrum wilsoni (Harrah, 1922) (= W. wilsoni [Harrah, 1922])— Bashkirova (1950).
Remarks. Although originally described as Cyclocoelum triangularum Harrah, 1922 from specimen No. 21.88 in the Ward Collection at the University of Illinois, this species was transferred to Wardianum by Witenberg (1923, 1926). It was considered to be a synonym of Haematotrephus lanceolatum (Wedl, 1858) by Macko & Freige (1960). Dronen (2007b) described W. catoptrophori from willets in the south-central USA and although it has the ovary removed anteriorly from the anterior margins of the testes, uterine loops that appear to be somewhat more extensive laterally, vitelline fields that extend more anteriorly, and a somewhat narrower egg than described for W. triangulare, the latter appears to have been described from a smaller, contracted specimen and we consider the two species to be synonymous. Dronen (2007b) pointed out that unlike most species in the genus, W. catoptrophori had a pharynx that was wider than long; however, in our opinion the usefulness of this characteristic in terms of distinguishing species in the genus is not well enough documented. Rudimentary oral sucker present—Harrah (1922) and Bashkirova (1950).

description: Geoscience Australia currently retains the Analysis Centre Coordinator role for the International GNSS Service (IGS). The IGS Analysis Centre Coordinator (ACC) has overall responsibility for generating the main official IGS combined products. Currently, there are three IGS product lines for GNSS satellite orbits and clocks, namely the IGS Final, the IGS Rapid, and the IGS Ultra-rapid products, each with different accuracies and latencies. The IGS is a key operational agency for supporting multi-constellation GNSS operations enabling governments, academia and industry to provide highest quality positioning services. This coordination role is fundamental to the Positioning Australia program and specifically for the Ginan Analysis Centre Software to transition into an IGS endorsed globally recognised Analysis Centre. This talk introduces the GA's role in the IGS Analysis Centre Coordination and the relevance to the Positioning Australia and generally Australia operating a GNSS Analysis Centre with an operational Ginan analysis centre software as part of the GA Strategy 2028 Creating a Location-Enabled Australia.

description: W. taxorchis (Johnston, 1917)
Type host. This host was originally listed as Limosa novae-hollandiae by Johnston (1917). The identification of this bird could not be confirmed because we were not able to find a listing of this species from Australia. This godwit species may be the bar-tailed godwit, Limosa lapponica (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae), but the black-tailed godwit, Limosa limosa (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae), also is known from Australia. Allison (2001) reported W. taxorchis from a subspecies of bar-tailed godwit, Limosa lapponica baueri Naumann, from the South Island of New Zealand.
Type locality. Lord Howe Island, off Australia.
Additional hosts. Black-winged or common stilt, Himantopus himantopus (Linnaeus) (Syn. H. leucocephalus Gould) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae) and the common snipe, Gallinago gallinago (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae)— Yamaguti (1958, 1971).
Previously proposed synonyms. Cyclocoelum wilsoni Harrah, 1922 (= W. wilsoni [Harrah, 1912]), Cyclocoelum triangularum Harrah, 1922 (= W. triangulare [Harrah, 1922]), Corpopyrum wilsoni (Harrah, 1922) (= W. wilsoni [Harrah, 1922]) and W. triangulare (Harrah, 1922) — Joyeux & Baer (1927).
Remarks. This species was originally described as Cyclocoelum taxorchis Johnston, 1917, but considered to be in Wardianum byYamaguti (1958, 1971). It was considered to be a synonym of Cyclocoelum (H.) tringae Stossich, 1902 (= Neohaematotrephus tringae [Stossich, 1902] n. comb.) by Dubois (1959) and of Haematotrephus lanceolatum (Wedl, 1858) by Macko & Feige (1960). No oral or ventral sucker described—Johnston (1917) and Bashkirova (1950).

description: • Vertical datums are a foundational piece of the positioning puzzle that allows us make sense of height measurements - they make it possible to align height data by defining where all heights are zero. But when the vertical datum is unreliable, we lose perspective on which direction is down and this can cause strange things to happen. Water can appear to flow in the wrong direction or pool in unexpected places.
• The Australian Height Datum (AHD) is the current, official, vertical datum in use in Australia. At 50 years old this year, it has stood the test of time well. But, it has a number of bumps and wrinkles (errors and distortions), relies on degrading physical infrastructure and was never intended to be used with modern positioning technology like GPS.
The Australian Vertical Working Surface is a shiny new alternative vertical datum that doesn’t depend on any physical infrastructure, is free from the errors in the AHD and is designed to be directly compatible with GPS technology in the first instance.

Year: 2009

description: The purpose of the present work is to analyze the effects of viscosity in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Undergraduate Laboratory shock tube at a pressure ratio (p4/p1) of approximately 1.54.  Ten tests were performed at this ratio to check for consistency in the system.  The experimental results from this facility were compared with results obtained from the typical shock tube equations, as well as computer simulations in Matlab and GASP.  Among these methods, GASP was the only one which took viscosity into consideration.  Multiple simulations were run with this program to determine the appropriate grid size (coarse or fine), as well as compare the inviscid and viscous results.  The other methods (theory and Matlab) assumed a one-dimensional inviscid flow for simplification of the computation.  The results showed that all of the data from the latter three methods matched relatively well for the flow in the center of the shock tube.  However, near the wall, the viscous GASP computation showed a variation in density, temperature, and velocity, while the others remained at a constant value.  This is due to the no-slip boundary condition at the walls used for the viscous flow.  By taking a specific point along the shock tube with viscous flow and comparing the velocity profiles from when the incident wave and when the reflected wave passes, it was discovered that a wall jet was created in the boundary layer.  This jet moves in the opposite direction of the mainstream flow and at a much higher speed (more than 20~m/s greater).
Using multiple-possibility physics problems in introductory physics courses

description: I have explored the instructional value of using multiple-possibility problems (MPPs) in introductory physics courses. MPPs are different from problems we most often encounter in textbooks. They are different from regular problems since 1) they have missing information, vaguely defined goals or unstated constrains, 2) they possess multiple solutions with multiple criteria for evaluating the solutions, 3) they present uncertainty about which concepts, rules, and principles are necessary for the solution or how they are organized.Real-life problems and professional problems are MPPs. Students rarely encounter such problems in introductory physics courses.Kitchener (1983) proposed a three-level model of cognitive processing to categorize the thinking steps one makes when faced with such problems (cognition, metacognition, epistemic cognition). The critical and distinctive component of MPP solving is epistemic cognition. At that level individuals reflect on the limits of knowing, the certainty of knowing, the underlying assumptions made. It is an important part of thinking in real life.Firstly, I developed and tested a coding scheme for measuring epistemic cognition. Using the coding scheme I compared the epistemic cognition level of experts and novices by conducting think-aloud problem-solving interviews with them. Although experts had higher epistemic cognition level than novices, I documented some instances where a novice showed an expert-like epistemic cognition. I found that prompting question during interviews were 50% effective for students. Secondly, I tested the following two hypotheses by conducting two experimental design and one pre-post treatment design investigations in an algebra-based physics course at Rutgers University: Hypothesis 1: Solving MPPs enhances students' epistemic cognition;Hypothesis 2: Solving MPPs engages students in more meaningful problem solving and thus helps them construct a better conceptual understanding of physics.I found supporting evidence for both hypotheses. Although not all of my studies produced the results that would unquestionably support the hypotheses strongly, I can say that they show much promise for the use of MPPs in introductory physics courses. I have also created a bank of MPPs freely available for use.

Response of bridge structures subjected to blast loads and protection techniques to mitigate the effect of blast hazards on bridges

description: Bridges are critical to the transportation system especially at the time of crises. They are essential for rescue missions, evacuations, and rapid distribution of aid and medical supplies. Bridges are highly visible and accessible structures which make them valued potential targets for terrorist attacks as their destruction could have significant impact on the nation. An efficient security system can minimize the potential of terrorism, yet it will not completely eliminate the threat. Consequently, critical bridges should be protected and designed to mitigate probable blast hazards. The primary objective of this investigation is to analyze the effect of blast loads on critical bridge components and bridge global response, and propose protection measures for mitigating blast hazards. This investigation presents an overview of the characteristics of blast loads, pressure distributions, wave propagation and reflection, energy dissipation, and the factors affecting the behavior of structural elements subjected to blast loading. To simplify the analysis of structural elements subjected to blast loads, blast load response spectra were developed. These spectra are used to transform the dynamic blast loads into equivalent static loads. Blast response spectra can be used to analyze and design individual structural components subjected to blast loads, estimate the required ductility, and estimate the minimum standoff distance for the probable blast hazards.The global behavior of a typical highway bridge was evaluated using computer simulation. The bridge model was subjected to various blast scenarios applied above or below the bridge deck. The results from these computer simulations were used to identify the vulnerable components in the bridge during a blast hazard as well as estimating the magnitudes and locations of maximum shear forces and bending moments. The results from the computer simulations were compared to those from the response spectral analysis. Thus, protection measures were proposed and evaluated. Protection measures include preventive measures such as standoff distance and added security. They also include improved redundancy through utilizing multiple column bents with double and triple edge columns, using highly ductile materials, longer seat widths, doubly reinforced decks, hold-down devices, and the use of cable auxiliary systems.

description: Studies of three global sediment-hosted zinc provinces (Mt Isa, Australia; Northern Cordillera, Canada/USA; Irish Midlands, Ireland) indicate that deposits in all three provinces are associated with gradients in many geological parameters. These include lead isotopes, the depth of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, upward-continued gravity and magnetotellurics data. These gradients are interpreted to mark major cratonic boundaries, or edges, that control the distribution of these deposits in space and in time. Studies of the Mt Isa Province indicate that regional alteration has caused extensive loss of zinc, copper and cobalt, potentially providing more than sufficient metal for the known deposits. Moreover, in some cases, metal loss corresponds to changes in rock properties, possibly enabling regional mapping of zones of metal loss using geophysical data.
Characterization of the flexor digitorum superficialis as a predictor of grasping strength
Creators: name: Shain, Adam Hersh
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The activity of forearm musculature during grasp has been studied by a variety of testing modalities in order to assess muscular conditions, predict grasping strength and control powered prosthetics.  Myotonometry has been shown to correlate directly to changes muscle stiffness and tone for the assessment of muscle recovery but has no real time application and is limited to rehabilitative and physical therapy application.  Of all testing modes Force Myography (FMG) is the only one that has demonstrated simultaneous multifunctional and multi degree of freedom control of prosthetic hands with sensors placed over the surface of the skin.  These studies, however, were not able to identify magnitudes of individual muscle activation for control of volitional movement.  In the present study a new testing modality is introduced, targeted Force Myography (tFMG).  tFMG detects the change in radial pressure and stiffness of a single muscle during contraction through the voltage response of a single force sensing resistor (FSR) strapped above the muscle body intrinsically combined with the overall change in radial pressure of the harnessed body segment.  In this study tFMG of the flexor digitorum superficialis is assessed during power grasp.  The results correlate well to myotonometry, r2 = 0.86, and show the ability to predict a subject's level of muscle activation, r2 = 0.94 +/- .03.  This was achieved through the development of inexpensive testing fixtures and methods in order to linearize and calibrate the voltage response curves of FSRs, making them an accurate and reliable tool in the assessment of grip force and forearm pressure.  It is demonstrated here that tFMG results have the ability record the changing stiffness of the underlying muscle as well as predict grasping strength.

description: The magnetotellurics (MT) method maps the electrical conductivity/resistivity structure of the subsurface, which provides crucial information for mineral exploration. Geoscience Australia has actively applied the method to provide multiscale world-leading datasets to improve the understanding of geology and resource potential. We demonstrate the value of scaled MT data acquisition starting from mapping large-scale conductivity structures in the lithosphere utilising long-period MT datasets through to the resolution of finer scale structures in the crust suitable for camp scale targeting. Integration of data from multiscale surveys provides an effective way to narrow the search space and to identify ‘targets’ of mineral potential in covered terranes. Our work has helped to increase explorers’ investment confidence for new mineral discoveries in greenfield regions.

description: A first transmitter transmits symbols. The leading edge of each symbol has the form Djexp{αjt}, where Dj is real, where αj is selected from N possible values based on a current group of bits. The receiver has N filters whose transfer functions correspond respectively to the N possible values. The filter outputs are used to recover the group of bits. A second transmitter transmits an exponential symbol or a zero symbol depending on a current bit to be transmitted. The zero symbol has zero amplitude over the symbol period. The corresponding receiver applies threshold detection to estimate the transmitted bits. A third transmitter transmits a sequence of analog pulses with known interpulse time separation(s). The pulse sequence reflects from a moving object. A receiver captures the reflected pulse sequence. The interpulse separation(s) of the reflect pulse sequence is used to determine the radial velocity of the object.
