Socially withdrawn children: Actual versus perceived peer acceptance
Creators: name: Gavinski Molina, Marie-Helene

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Developmental.

description: The goal of the present study was to examine and directly compare actual peer acceptance and perceived peer acceptance in peer-identified withdrawn, aggressive, and nondeviant children. The children also rated how important it was for them to be liked by each of their peers. It was hypothesized that withdrawn children would underestimate their degree of acceptance in the peer group and would rate importance of peer acceptance higher compared to aggressive and nondeviant children. Children's self-reported social anxiety was also explored as a way of examining its effect on their perceptions of how they thought they were perceived by their peers. Participants included 479 children from Grades 3, 5, and 7 from middle-class elementary and junior high schools in the Western Quebec School Board. These children completed a peer assessment measure of social behaviour, a self-report measure of social anxiety, and sociometric rating measures of peer acceptance ("actual" peer acceptance, "perceived" peer acceptance, and "importance" of peer acceptance). Using a peer assessment measure of social behaviour, three groups of children were identified: (1) withdrawn (n = 68); (2) aggressive (n = 70); and (3) nondeviant (n = 242). When directly comparing children's actual versus perceived peer acceptance, contrary to our hypothesis, results showed no significant difference for withdrawn children. Conversely, aggressive children perceived themselves to be significantly better liked by their peers than they actually were, while results showed that nondeviant children were significantly better liked by their peers than they perceived themselves to be. The results also showed that aggressive children believed it was significantly less important for them to be liked by their peers compared to withdrawn children. Moreover, withdrawn children had significantly higher scores on social anxiety (i.e., social anxiety total score, and social avoidance and distress specific to new peers or situations and general situations) than aggressive or nondeviant children. Implications of the present findings and directions for future research are discussed.

description: The galaxy pairwise velocity dispersion (PVD) can provide important tests of non-standard gravity and galaxy formation models. We describe measurements of the PVD of galaxies in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey as a function of projected separation and galaxy luminosity. Due to the faint magnitude limit (r < 19.8) and highly-complete spectroscopic sampling of the GAMA survey, we are able to reliably measure the PVD to smaller scales (r⊥ = 0.01 h−1 Mpc) than previous work. The measured PVD at projected separations r⊥≲1h−1Mpc increases near-monotonically with increasing luminosity from σ12≈200kms−1 at Mr = −17 mag to σ12≈600kms−1 at Mr ≈ −22 mag. Analysis of the Gonzalez-Perez et al. (2014) GALFORM semi-analytic model yields no such trend of PVD with luminosity: the model over-predicts the PVD for faint galaxies. This is most likely a result of the model placing too many low-luminosity galaxies in massive halos.

Spotting the difference: A source code comparison tool
Creators: name: Lanna, Marconi
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Source Code Management (SCM) is a valuable tool in most software development projects, whichever their size. SCM provides the ability to store, retrieve, and restore previous versions of files. File comparison tools complement SCM systems by offering the capability to compare files and versions, highlighting their differences. Most file comparison tools are built around a two-pane interface, with files displayed side by side. Such interfaces may be inefficient in their use of screen space---wasting horizontal real estate---and ineffective, for duplicating text makes it difficult to read, while placing most of the comparison burden on the user. In this work, we introduce an innovative metaphor for file comparison interfaces. Based on a single-pane interface, common text is displayed only once, with differences intelligently merged into a single text stream, making reading and comparing more natural and intuitive. To further improve usability, additional features were developed: difference classification---additions, deletions, and modifications ---using finer levels of granularity than is usually found in typical tools; a set of special artifacts to compare modifications ; and intelligent white space handling. A formal usability study conducted among sixteen participants using real-world code samples demonstrated the interface adequacy. Participants were, on average, 60% faster performing source code comparison tasks, while answer quality improved, on our weighted scale, by almost 80%. According to preference questionnaires, the proposed tool conquered unanimous participant preference.

description: Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, is a highly invasive spirochete pathogen that uses the vasculature to disseminate throughout the body. Identification of bacterial factors promoting dissemination is crucial for syphilis vaccine development. An important step in dissemination is bacterial adhesion to blood vessel surfaces, a process mediated by bacterial proteins that can withstand forces imposed on adhesive bonds by blood flow (vascular adhesins). The study of T. pallidum vascular adhesins is hindered by the uncultivable nature of this pathogen. We overcame these limitations by expressing T. pallidum adhesin Tp0751 (pallilysin) in an adhesion-attenuated strain of the cultivable spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Under fluid shear stress representative of conditions in postcapillary venules, Tp0751 restored bacterial-vascular interactions to levels similar to those observed for infectious B. burgdorferi and a gain-of-function strain expressing B. burgdorferi vascular adhesin BBK32. The strength and stability of Tp0751- and BBK32-dependent endothelial interactions under physiological shear stress were similar, although the mechanisms stabilizing these interactions were distinct. Tp0751 expression also permitted bacteria to interact with postcapillary venules in live mice as effectively as BBK32-expressing strains. These results demonstrate that Tp0751 can function as a vascular adhesin.
Identifying enterprise skills: an enterprise behaviours, skills and attributes map for personal development

description: This paper outlines ongoing work being undertaken at the University of Salford, in relation to enterprise and entrepreneurship, in particular the related skills and attributes of learners. The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) published its vision for the Future of Higher Education in 2003. In the foreword, Charles Clark the then Secretary of State for Education commented that the pace of global change was accelerating. In order to keep up universities needed to 'mobilize even more effectively the imagination, creativity, skills and talents of all our people. And it depends on using that knowledge and understanding to build economic strength and social harmony' (DfES 2003). He urged that universities needed to make 'better progress in harnessing knowledge to wealth creation' and 'to help turn ideas into successful businesses' (DfES 2003). Encouragement was given to institutions to develop work focused foundation degrees in order to respond to these economic needs (DfES 2003 Section 3.22). However, graduates, studying traditional academic disciplines, still needed to have the 'right skills to equip them for a lifetime in a fast changing work environment' and so continued encouragement was given to 'integrate the skills and attributes which employers need, such as communication, enterprise and working with others, into higher education courses, on a subject-by-subject basis' (DfES 2003 Section 3.23). Prior to 2003 the DfES had talked about Key Skills or Common Skills, the 2003 publication, for the first time, talked about enterprise skills. Nowhere was a definition given of these enterprise skills. The growing demand from learners, coupled with an internationally driven skills agenda for community, business and future entrepreneurs has led to the conclusion that we needed to identify and evidence the enterprise skills that our students and learners require. These skills or attributes contribute to learners' employability at the outset of their career, encourage entrepreneurial venture founding and innovation and promote 'intrapreneurship' and business growth in the labour market.

Post-glacial Chironomidae population responses to climate-driven variations in lake production in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago

Subjects: subject: Climate Change.

description: The purpose of this thesis was to study long-term climatic variations and their impacts on aquatic ecosystem functioning in the Canadian Arctic. Sub-fossil remains of chironomids preserved in lacustrine sediment cores, and the organic, biogenic silica and carbonate fraction of the sediment matrix were analyzed to infer past lake production and provide new evidence of the impact of past climate changes in the Arctic. The modern relationship between chironomids, biological production indices and the physical environment was studied to permit the interpretation and quantification of past conditions from sediment cores. Bedrock composition exerts a very strong influence on sediment organic, biogenic silica and carbonate content of lake sediments, and an inference model for reconstructing lake water pH based on these parameters was developed. July air temperatures also affect aquatic and terrestrial production in the Arctic, but this effect is secondary to the effect of nutrient input. An inference model for reconstructing past mean July air temperatures based on the chironomid assemblages was developed using 88 Arctic lakes, and further improved by combining it with previously published data from across North America. A new inference model for July air temperatures, based on 379 Arctic and Boreal lakes was developed. This training set was based on sites covering a large temperature gradient (2°-16.6°C) and containing a great diversity of chironomid assemblages, making it appropriate for reconstructing past July air temperatures for Arctic and boreal lakes. Holocene climatic conditions were evaluated for the Arctic at Lake WB02 (Northern Victoria Island), Lake KR02 (Western Victoria Island) and Lake JR01 (Boothia Peninsula). Prior to ∼6.5-5.5ka the Arctic was relatively warm, and overall lake production was high. Mean July air temperatures remained colder during the mid- to late-Holocene until -1.0ka, when temperatures again cooled rapidly during the Little Ice Age. A recent (last 150 years) warming is seen at all three lakes as primary and chironomid production increased. At all locations, however, inferred temperatures for the last 150 years remain up to 2-3°C cooler than those inferred for the early Holocene.

description: BackgroundObesity reportedly increases the risk for developing multiple sclerosis (MS), but little is known about its association with disability accumulation.MethodsThis nationwide longitudinal cohort study included 1066 individuals with newly diagnosed MS from the German National MS cohort. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores, relapse rates, MRI findings and choice of immunotherapy were compared at baseline and at years 2, 4 and 6 between obese (body mass index, BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and non-obese (BMI <30 kg/m2) patients and correlated with individual BMI values.ResultsPresence of obesity at disease onset was associated with higher disability at baseline and at 2, 4 and 6 years of follow-up (p<0.001). Median time to reach EDSS 3 was 0.99 years for patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and 1.46 years for non-obese patients. Risk to reach EDSS 3 over 6 years was significantly increased in patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 compared with patients with BMI <30 kg/m2 after adjustment for sex, age, smoking (HR 1.87; 95% CI 1.3 to 2.6; log-rank test p<0.001) and independent of disease-modifying therapies. Obesity was not significantly associated with higher relapse rates, increased number of contrast-enhancing MRI lesions or higher MRI T2 lesion burden over 6 years of follow-up.ConclusionsObesity in newly diagnosed patients with MS is associated with higher disease severity and poorer outcome. Obesity management could improve clinical outcome of MS.

description: Introduction Effective management and development of new treatment strategies for response fluctuations in advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) largely depends on clinical rating instruments such as the PD home diary. The Parkinson’s kinetigraph (PKG) measures movement accelerations and analyzes the spectral power of the low frequencies of the accelerometer data. New algorithms convert each hour of continuous PKG data into one of the three motor categories used in the PD home diary, namely motor Off state and On state with and without dyskinesia. Objective To compare quantitative motor state assessment in fluctuating PD patients using the PKG with motor state ratings from PD home diaries. Methods Observational cohort study on 24 in-patients with documented motor fluctuations who completed diaries by rating motor Off, On without dyskinesia, On with dyskinesia, and asleep for every hour for 5 consecutive days. Simultaneously collected PKG data (recorded between 6 am and 10 pm) were analyzed and calibrated to the patient’s individual thresholds for Off and dyskinetic state by novel algorithms classifying the continuous accelerometer data into these motor states for every hour between 6 am and 10 pm. Results From a total of 2,040 hours, 1,752 hours (87.4%) were available for analyses from calibrated PKG data (7.5% sleeping time and 5.1% unclassified motor state time were excluded from analyses). Distributions of total motor state hours per day measured by PKG showed moderate-to-strong correlation to those assessed by diaries for the different motor states (Pearson’s correlations coefficients: 0.404–0.658), but inter-rating method agreements on the single- hour-level were only low-to-moderate (Cohen’s κ: 0.215–0.324). Conclusion The PKG has been shown to capture motor fluctuations in patients with advanced PD. The limited correlation of hour-to-hour diary and PKG recordings should be addressed in further studies.

description: We investigate an ultraweak variational formulation for (parameterized) linear differential-algebraic equations with respect to the time variable which yields an optimally stable system. This is used within a Petrov-Galerkin method to derive a certified detailed discretization which provides an approximate solution in an ultraweak setting as well as for model reduction with respect to time in the spirit of the Reduced Basis Method. A computable sharp error bound is derived. Numerical experiments are presented that show that this method yields a significant reduction and can be combined with well-known system theoretic methods such as Balanced Truncation to reduce the size of the DAE.

Hemmnisse für eine werkstoffliche Verwertung sind zum Beispiel Zusatzstoffe, die die Recyclingfähigkeit einschränken, die zunehmende Verwendung von Verbunden, die gemischte Sammlung und die mangelnde Wirtschaftlichkeit. Ziel dieses Projektes ist, für die nach dem Gebrauch im Gewerbe und bei Haushalten anfallenden Kunststoffabfälle und ggf. weitere Wertstoffe die Frage zu beantworten, ob und unter welchen Randbedingungen diese dem Restabfall oder derzeit energetisch genutzten Fraktionen entzogen und so die werkstoffliche Verwertung gesteigert werden kann. Das Projekt entwickelt einen integrierten Policymix, der sowohl beim Angebot, der Nachfrage als auch den Marktbedingungen für den Einsatz von Sekundärkunststoffen ansetzt.

description: Immune system molecules are expressed by neurons, yet their functions are often unknown. We have identified IL-13 and its receptor IL-13Ra1 as neuronal, synaptic proteins in mouse, rat, and human brains, whose engagement upregulates the phosphorylation of NMDAR and AMPAR subunits and, in turn, increases synaptic activity and CREB-mediated transcription. We demonstrate that increased IL-13 is a hallmark of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in male mice as well as in two distinct cohorts of human patients. We also provide evidence that IL-13 upregulation protects neurons from excitotoxic death. We show IL-13 upregulation occurring in several cohorts of human brain samples and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Thus, IL-13 is a physiological modulator of synaptic physiology of neuronal origin, with implications for the establishment of synaptic plasticity and the survival of neurons under injury conditions. Furthermore, we suggest that the neuroprotection afforded through the upregulation of IL-13 represents an entry point for interventions in the pathophysiology of TBI.

description: Direct optical fabrication of 3D photonic crystals in a high refractive index LiNbO3 crystal by using the femtosecond laser-induced microexplosion method is investigated. The focal distortion, caused by the refractive index mismatch-induced spherical aberration, can be significantly reduced by using a so-called threshold fabrication method. As a result, 3D fee photonic crystals are fabricated by stacking quasi-spherical voids layer by layer. Photonic stopgaps with suppression rates of up to 30% in the transmission spectra are observed. The angle dependence of the stopgaps is also revealed.

Teacher and student perceptions of the goals of global education

Subjects: subject: Education, Administration.

description: This qualitative case study analyses how the goals of global education are perceived by teachers and students of one high school currently involved in a global education program. My central question is: "How do students and teachers currently involved in a global education program in one rural Ontario high school perceive the goals of global education?" Participants included a principal, five teachers, and five students involved in a pilot global education program for grade nine students at a small, homogeneous, rural high school in Ontario. This study presents their specific context and perspectives in order to contribute to a deeper understanding of the nature, transference, and effects of the goals of global education. Data was collected through individual interviews, a focus group, and one classroom observation. Findings suggest staff and student participants share many similar perceptions of the goals of global education such as increasing students' global and cultural awareness; broadening students' perspectives; engaging students in their own learning; and preparing students for the future. Divergent perceptions among students such as what was meant by the term "global education" and a greater emphasis on helping others through a charity model suggest implications for improving consistency between the greater goals of global education and its implementation. Participants' responses further reveal perceptions of barriers and sources of support for the goals of global education specific to their rural, homogenous context, as well as those common to global educators across North America and the U.K. represented in the extant literature.

description: The mammalian circadian clock coordinates physiology with environmental cycles through the regulation of daily oscillations of gene expression. Thousands of transcripts exhibit rhythmic accumulations across mouse tissues, as determined by the balance of their synthesis and degradation. While diurnally rhythmic transcription regulation is well studied and often thought to be the main factor generating rhythmic mRNA accumulation, the extent of rhythmic posttranscriptional regulation is debated, and the kinetic parameters (e.g., half-lives), as well as the underlying regulators (e.g., mRNA-binding proteins) are relatively unexplored. Here, we developed a quantitative model for cyclic accumulations of pre-mRNA and mRNA from total RNA-seq data, and applied it to mouse liver. This allowed us to identify that about 20% of mRNA rhythms were driven by rhythmic mRNA degradation, and another 15% of mRNAs regulated by both rhythmic transcription and mRNA degradation. The method could also estimate mRNA half-lives and processing times in intact mouse liver. We then showed that, depending on mRNA half-life, rhythmic mRNA degradation can either amplify or tune phases of mRNA rhythms. By comparing mRNA rhythms in wild-type and Bmal1−/− animals, we found that the rhythmic degradation of many transcripts did not depend on a functional BMAL1. Interestingly clock-dependent and -independent degradation rhythms peaked at distinct times of day. We further predicted mRNA-binding proteins (mRBPs) that were implicated in the posttranscriptional regulation of mRNAs, either through stabilizing or destabilizing activities. Together, our results demonstrate how posttranscriptional regulation temporally shapes rhythmic mRNA accumulation in mouse liver.

Methods: A comprehensive Systematic review and a Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials was completed. Results were tabulated and graphically represented using a network diagram; forest plots and league tables were shown to rank treatments by the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA). A stacked bar chart rankogram was generated. We performed main analysis with 200 RCTs and three analyses according to contrast media and high or normal baseline renal profile that includes 173, 112 & 60 RCTs respectively. Results: We have included 200 trials with 42,273 patients and 44 interventions. The primary outcome was CI-AKI, defined as ≥25% relative increase or ≥ 0.5 mg/dl increase from baseline creatinine one to 5 days post contrast exposure. The top ranked interventions through different analyses were Allopurinol, Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) & Oxygen (0.9647, 0.7809 & 0.7527 in the main analysis). Comparatively, reference treatment intravenous hydration was ranked lower but better than Placebo (0.3124 VS 0.2694 in the main analysis). Conclusion: Multiple CA-AKI preventive interventions have been tested in RCTs. This network evaluates data for all the explored options. The results suggest that some options (particularly allopurinol, PGE1 & Oxygen) deserve further evaluation in a larger well-designed RCTs.

description: Abstract. We present an overview of the evidence of how nature benefits mental health, popular theories used to explain the effects, and the development potential of these theories. A large body of evidence highlights the beneficial effects of nature on mental health, with observed outcomes ranging from alleviating the symptoms of psychiatric disorders to improvements in cognitive abilities. The theoretical backbone for these salutary effects of nature consists of a set of models, mainly the attention restoration theory (ART), the stress reduction theory (SRT), and the Biophilia hypothesis. However, these high-level models are only loosely related and lack a pronounced biopsychological basis. While biopsychological measurements have been used widely in recent years, these efforts have not sufficiently been reflected in theories aiming to explain the benefits of nature contact for mental health. This paper seeks to encourage interdisciplinary work and further theory development to guide both research and practice toward strategically green and healthy living conditions.

Spluttering on: why big tobacco just can't butt out on plain packaging

description: British American Tobacco Australia has launched yet another attack on the Australian government's plain packaging legislation. On top of its latest 'Where's the proof?' campaign, launched today, it is arguing for the legislation to be delayed, calling the proposed timeline 'unworkable'. This comes on the back of one of the tobacco industry’s biggest setbacks: the opposition’s decision last week to support the government’s proposed legislation. This takes Australia a step closer to becoming the first country in the world to implement plain packaging, but it's not a done deal yet.

description: The effect of diacetyl-2,6-diiodohydroquinone (DDIH) on the calorigenic action of exogenous L-thyroxine and L-triiodothyronine was studied in normal and thyroidectomized male mice acclimated to 30° or 10°C. Two methods for determining the oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) were used: one was a modified Maclagan system in which the OCRs were determined on groups of eight mice; the other a system using single animals. The animals were pretreated with thyroxine or triiodothyronine in conjunction with DDIH, and their OCRs were determined using both methods. A comparison of the results showed that grouping had an effect, on the measured response in both treated and untreated animals. A series of experiments in which 131I-labled hormones were administered did not reveal any correlation between the amount of 131I excreted and the magnitude of increase in OCR in warm- and cold-acclimated mice. The calorigenic response of untreated and pretreated mice to noradrenaline was measured under two sets of environmental conditions. In one, untreated and pretreated mice were tested with noradrenaline, their OCRs being determined at the temperature of acclimation. In the other, the noradrenaline test was conducted after the animals had been exposed to 10° or 30°C for one hour. When noradrenaline was tested the temperature of acclimation, the results showed that pretreatment had an effect on the sensitivity to noradrenaline; DDIH generally inhibited the sensitivity of thyroxine pretreated mice and enhanced the sensitivity of triiodothyronine pretreated ones. Thyroidoctomy reduced the sensitivity to noradrenaline. When cold-acclimated, mice sensitive to the higher dosage of noradrenaline were placed at 30°C for one hour, they lost this sensitivity. This lack of sensitivity of cold-acclimated mice was contrary to the sensitivity seen in cold acclimated rats tested With a lower dosage of noradrenaline at 30°C and indicated a definate species difference. The difference in the response of mice to noradrenaline under the two environmental conditions indicated the importance of the temperature at which the test was conducted. The rapidity with which cold-acclimated mice lost their sensitivity to noradrenaline indicates a larger role for the nervous system in thermogenesis than is seen in the rat, and perhaps different means of nonshivering thermogenesis are to be found in these two species.

description: The rates of the alkaline hydrolysis of some esters and amides, and of the alkaline fading of certain organic dyes, have been studied over a range of hydrostatic pressures from atmospheric pressure to 16,000 pounds per square inch. In the case of the ester and amide hydrolyses the results obey van 't Hoff's law, the logarithm of the rate constant varying linearly with the pressure. From the slopes of the lines values of DeltaV*, the volume of activation, were calculated; they fell in the range of -10 to -17 cc, per mole. These negative volumes of activation are to be correlated with the negative entropies of activation for the reactions. It is suggested that the results maybe explained in terms of the hypothesis that the activated complex is much more polar than the reactants. In the case of the alkaline fading of dyes the results were somewhat more complicated, the van 't Hoff law not always being obeyed. In the case of crystal violet the rate was found to be independent of the pressure. With brom phenol blue and phenol phthalein the rates were markedly increased by pressure, so that the volumes of activation are negative. These negative volumes of activation are found to be correlated with the entropies of activation for the reactions. An explanation for the results is given in terms of the changes in polarity during the course of the reactions.

description: We describe data release 3 (DR3) of the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. The GAMA survey is a spectroscopic redshift and multiwavelength photometric survey in three equatorial regions each of 60.0 deg2 (G09, G12, and G15), and two southern regions of 55.7 deg2 (G02) and 50.6 deg2 (G23). DR3 consists of: the first release of data covering the G02 region and of data on H-ATLAS (Herschel - Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey) sources in the equatorial regions; and updates to data on sources released in DR2. DR3 includes 154 809 sources with secure redshifts across four regions. A subset of the G02 region is 95.5 per cent redshift complete to r < 19.8 mag over an area of 19.5 deg2, with 20 086 galaxy redshifts, that overlaps substantially with the XXL survey (X-ray) and VIPERS (redshift survey). In the equatorial regions, the main survey has even higher completeness (98.5 per cent), and spectra for about 75 per cent of H-ATLAS filler targets were also obtained. This filler sample extends spectroscopic redshifts, for probable optical counterparts to HATLAS submillimetre sources, to 0.8 mag deeper (r < 20.6 mag) than the GAMA main survey. There are 25 814 galaxy redshifts for H-ATLAS sources from the GAMA main or filler surveys.

description: The potential risk from human exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) includes a range of serious non-malignant effects as well as lung cancer, which may occur at relatively low levels. In a previous study, investigating several industrial sectors, we found the highest emission levels of RCS in the industrial silica sand operations. 28 different sand processing facilities were examined in two complex emission measurement programmes. A two-stage cascade impactor was used to separate the particle fractions: > 10 Ìm, 10-4 Ìm and < 4 Ìm of aerodynamic diameter. The size of particles of most concern is the so-called particulate matter 4 (PM4). The analytical procedure for determining RCS in emission samples consists of using X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy methods. The relationship between Total Particulate Matter (TPM), PM4 and RCS (as a percentage of PM4) was evaluated. In the case of increased Total Particulate Matter concentration in the stack gas (more than 20 mg/m3) combined with increased percentage of RCS in PM4 an exceedance of an Emission Limit Value (ELV) of 1 mg/m3 is more likely to occur. The evaluation of the emission data helped to formulate differentiated emission control requirements of the plants concerning the draft of the new German Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (new German TA Luft). It was possible to demonstrate, under which conditions for the specific processing techniques used, emission limits for Total Particulate Matter can be used as a threshold value for the Respirable Crystalline Silica emission. If the mass fraction of quartz in the source rock to be processed is more than 20%, periodic measurements of Respirable Crystalline Silica will be necessary every three years on grinders, whereas they will be only necessary on dryers if the Total Dust concentration exceeds 5 mg/m3. © 2021, VDI Fachmedien GmBH & Co.
