Predicting competitive ability from plant traits: A comparative study of 63 terrestrial herbaceous plant species.

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Biology, Botany.

description: There is critical need for studies on interspecific competition which enable general principles to be deduced that apply beyond the species and conditions of a particular study or site. Studies on plant traits are a key part of this search for general principles. I measured relative competitive ability in 63 terrestrial herbaceous plant species using the phytometer Trichostema brachiatum, to test whether competitive ability can be predicted from simple measurable plant traits. The test species utilised in this experiment represented a wide array of terrestrial vegetation types (e.g. rock. barrens, alvars, old fields), and an array of growth forms, from small rosette species (e.g. Saxifraga virginiensis) to large clonal graminoids (e.g. Agropyron repens). The experiment was carried out under both a "normal" and a "drought" treatment. Multiple linear regression showed that there was a strong relationship between plant traits and competitive ability (Normal treatment--r$\sp2$ = 0.54; Drought--treatment r$\sp2$ = 0.55). Total plant biomass explained 34% of the variation in competitive ability in the normal treatment and below-ground biomass explained 35% of the variation in the drought treatment. Leaf shape explained most of the residual variation. The competitive hierarchy for plants in the normal and drought treatment was compared. Rankings for individual species varied between treatments, however, when all species were compared simultaneously, competitive hierarchies in both treatments were highly correlated (r$\sb{\rm s}$ = 0.91). This suggests that invariant and variant views of competitive hierarchies are not mutually exclusive but instead depend on the scale at which competition is being addressed. On the broad scale, relative competitive abilities appear consistent across different environments. Thus, both traits and hierarchies show general repeatable patterns that allow us to generalize from one set of circumstances to another.

Le politique dans les sociétés amérindiennes sans État: Dialogue entre le bon sauvage et le vrai sauvage
Creators: name: Bolduc, Étienne
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Political Science, General.
subject: Native American Studies.

description: Constatant une absence de dialogue entre l'anthropologie (discours sur les sociétés dites primitives) et la pensée autochtone (discours sur les sociétés traditionnelles ) en ce qui concerne la question du politique, le projet tente de recréer un pont entre ces deux disciplines par le biais d'une analyse philosophique des sociétés sans État. L'approche comparative vise à faire entrer en relation un représentant de chaque discipline: Clastres, un anthropologue français accuse de reproduire le mythe du bon sauvage, et Deloria, un intellectuel sioux qui prétend décrire le vrai sauvage. En permettant ce dialogue entre le bon et le vrai sauvages, il en ressort l'idée que le refus d'une médiation formelle dans les sociétés a-étatiques explique à la fois la non-coercition et l'égalité. Par contre, il est fort possible que les deux auteurs se rencontrent dans une utopie semblable. Le premier pour sortir de l'Occident; le second, de la colonisation.
What was he thinking?: Comparing a cognitive with a psychosocial developmental approach in explaining young adult risk taking
Creators: name: Connell, Shelley
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The study aimed to compare two competing theoretical explanations for young adult risk taking. A cognitive developmental theory was compared with a psychosocial developmental theory identifying a new life phase: emerging adulthood. The primary risky behaviour investigated was speeding down an open highway. Three hundred and eight participants aged 18 to 66 completed an internet questionnaire. The hypotheses that self-perceived likelihood of speeding would decrease with age and that males would report greater likelihood of speeding were supported, with no interaction between gender and age. Contrary to expectations, the number of consequences anticipated as a result of speeding did not increase with age; rather the number of positive consequences anticipated decreased with age and this mediated the relationship between age and anticipated likelihood of speeding. Younger participants were less future oriented, more present oriented and more sensation seeking than older participants. Sensation seeking mediated the relationship between age and self-reported likelihood of speeding. The impact of life experiences on anticipated risk taking was investigated using a mixed methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative data. The results suggested a number of life experiences which were perceived to affect risk taking and could be investigated in future research. The findings generally supported the psychosocial developmental explanation for risk taking in early adulthood and suggestions for further research are given.

description: Radar sensor networks are today widely used in the field of autonomous driving and for generating high-precision images of the environment. The accuracy of the environmental representation depends to a large extent on the accurate knowledge of the sensor's mounting orientation. Both the relative orientation of the sensors to each other and the relative sensor orientation in relation to the vehicle coordinate system are determining factors. For the first time, the orientation estimation of the radar sensors of a network is possible exclusively on the basis of radar target lists without additional localization and orientation devices, such as an inertial measurement unit or global navigation satellite systems. In this work, two algorithms for determining the orientation of incoherently networked radar sensors with respect to the vehicle coordinate system and with respect to each other are derived and characterized. With the presented algorithms, orientation accuracies up to 0.25° are achieved. Furthermore, the algorithms do not impose any requirements on the positioning or the orientation of the radar sensors, such as overlapping field of views or the detection of identical targets. The presented algorithms are applicable to arbitrary driving trajectories as well as for point targets and extended targets which enables the use in regular road traffic.

description: Diffusion is a transport process of great interest as it pertains to many problems in biology, medicine and chemistry. In particular, studies of diffusion taking place in porous systems could help to model processes such as toxins spreading in soils or groundwater, transport of materials through permeable membranes or polyelectrolyte migration in gel electrophoresis. A more thorough understanding of the details of diffusion at the microscopic level could be useful in designing optimized gels for electrophoresis as well as more precise sieving methods. In numerical studies, a common approach is to model diffusion by using a Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm of a random walk on a lattice. In this work, we use methodologies to solve these algorithms exactly and thus efficiently obtain precise results. This thesis consists of two studies, in the form of publishable manuscripts, of the biased and unbiased random walk of small particles on a lattice. First, we model the diffusion of point-like particles in networks of identical periodic square and cubic cavities interconnected by holes. The geometry of these cavities is parameterized in order to study these systems for a variety of different cavity structures. The diffusion inside these systems is modeled by a random walk on a lattice with an algorithm previously developed by the Slater group. In this approach, the MC algorithm can be solved exactly, thereby reducing the time required to obtain precise results which would otherwise require lengthy simulations. We test theoretical predictions and validate analytical results for various asymptotic cases. Additionally, we develop interpolation functions to fit our exact numerical data. In the second study, we develop a new matrix method of exact calculation by expanding and improving a previous model to overcome its limitations. Our new model is capable of treating random walks biased by periodic time-dependent fields. We chose to model the case of particles diffusing in a 2-D network of trap-shaped obstacles in the presence of an external force (of finite frequency and arbitrary strength). In these studies, we examine the effect that varying the frequency of the applied force has on the mean velocities of particles of different sizes. Using this approach, we are able to qualitatively reproduce known experimental results. As in the first project, this new algorithm can be solved exactly and thus provides the same advantages, including a significant reduction in the time required to obtain precise results.

description: This thesis investigated the structure and reactivity of group 13 elements boron, aluminum and gallium supported by nitrogen rich ligand systems. The majority of this work deals with N,N',N"-trisubstituted guanidinate ligands and N,N'-disubstituted-1,8-diaminonaphthalene dianionic ligand frameworks. New methods for the catalytic formation of guanidines have also been explored. Chapter 1 outlines the basics of using nitrogen rich compounds as ligands. This includes the introduction of guanidinates as supporting ligands and the description of using a rigid backbone system such as an N,N'-disubstituted-1,8-diaminonaphthalene dianionic ligand. Chapter 2 presents the synthetic routes taken to form a variety of aluminum amide, alkyl and halide complexes using N, N',N"-trisubstituted triisopropyl guanidinates as supporting ligands. The formation of dinuclear guanidinate species was also observed. Chapter 3 investigates the catalytic formation of guanidines using inexpensive, commercially available aluminum compounds as catalysts for the guanylation of various amines with carbodiimide. A full catalytic cycle was calculated using DFT studies for both guanylation of amines and phosphines catalyzed by aluminum amides. Chapter 4 presents the application of N,N'-disubstituted-1,8-diaminonaphthalene ligands for the stabilization of coordinately unsaturated group 13 elements. The formation of boron halides with both diaryl and diisopropyl 1,8-diaminonaphthalene ligands as well as aluminum halides and a dinuclear aluminum complex is presented.

description: Nuisance, toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent and globally expanding problem. Prevention of blooms requires that external and internal sources of nutrients are managed to levels where development of cyanobacterial blooms is restricted. Control of blooms, in which their presence is reduced to a level where they no longer pose a risk through additional measures such as biomanipulation or artificial mixing, demands that three elements come together: (1) understanding of the key ecological traits of the dominant cyanobacteria taxa, (2) system analysis of the lake, in particular its morphometry, water and nutrient balance, (3) adequate design and execution of the management methods of choice. All three elements are important for choosing effective management interventions and predicting their outcome. Mitigation of blooms reduces the risks and harmful effects of blooms if they cannot be prevented or sufficiently controlled, methods such as harvesting of surface scums or application of cyanocides may be used in those cases where water quality improvement is urgent. Ultimately, managing cyanobacterial blooms is most effective in the context of developing a Water Safety Plan. This is a risk assessment and management approach developed by the World Health Organization and provides a platform for bringing together the stakeholders who have a say about activities in the catchment causing eutrophication. Together, they can develop and implement control measures in the chain from catchment to drinking-water offtake which effectively mitigate eutrophication and thus protect humans and the lake ecosystem services they rely on from effects of toxic cyanobacteria.

description: The function of catalytic layers in fuel cells and electrolyzers depends on the properties of the ionically conductive phase, which are most commonly perfluorinated ionomers based on Nafion and Aquivion. An analysis by atomic force microscopy reveals that the ultrathin ionomer films around Pt/C agglomerates have a thickness distribution ranging from 3.5 nm to 20 nm. Their conductivity and gas permeation properties determine the fuel cell performance to a large extend. For electrodes in Aquivion-based membrane-electrode-assemblies operation-induced structure changes were investigated by means of material- and conductivity-sensitive atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and electron-dispersive X-ray analysis. The observed thinning of the ultrathin ionomer films was mainly caused by polymer degradation deduced from reduced swelling after long-time operation and a significant loss of ionomer with operation time detected by infrared spectroscopy. From the linear thickness increase of the ultrathin films with rising humidity, a mainly layered structure of the ionomer was deduced. An influence of thickness of such ultrathin ionomer films on fuel cell lifetime was found by analysis of differently prepared membrane-electrode-assemblies, where a linear increase of irreversible degradation rate with ionomer film thickness in the electrodes of unused membrane-electrode-assemblies was found.

Transition Metal-Catalyzed Preparation and Functionalization of Nitrogen-Containing Heterocycles
Creators: name: Huestis, Malcolm P
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Inorganic.

description: The formation of carbon-carbon bonds is the single most fundamentally important operation in synthetic organic chemistry. Arguably, the aldol and Diels-Alder reactions stand as the most significant advances in forging linkages between carbons of an sp3-hybridized nature. Beginning in the early 1970s, seminal advances were made with respect to formation of carbon-carbon bonds between sp2 centers. These transformations, termed "cross-coupling" reactions, have undoubtedly changed the way synthetic organic chemistry is carried out, rendering the synthesis of carbon-carbon sp2 linkages a relatively trivial task. New synthetic technologies that utilize catalytic quantities of transition metals continue to be developed, and have paved the way to enable rapid increases in molecular complexity with far less effort than previously required. The active ingredient in traditional cross-coupling reactions is a catalytic quantity of palladium. Provided that the two reactants to be cross-coupled have the appropriate functional groups for cross-coupling, they bind to the palladium and eliminate together, bound by a covalent Csp2 -Csp2 bond. These functional groups include halides, boronic acids and esters, and organometallic fragments. Direct arylation is a recent advance in cross-coupling between aryl groups whereby one cross-coupling partner (usually the one bearing an organometallic fragment) is replaced by the simple arene (C-H bond). In the first section, we describe our efforts in extending the direct arylation technique to azaindole compounds. Ultimately, this research led to two different palladium-based catalyst systems - one that performed the cross-coupling event on the azine ring of azaindole, and one that arylated the azole ring. In the second section, we extend our work on a cross-coupling technique catalyzed by rhodium, wherein a five-membered azole ring is constructed oxidatively by reaction between an anilide and an alkyne. This reaction finds its precedent in the Larock indole synthesis, a reaction catalyzed by palladium that features the anilide possessing an ortho-iodo function. In the final section, we demonstrate the direct coupling of two unactivated C-H bonds in an intramolecular sense. This methodology was particularly useful for synthesizing carbazoles, and the synthesis of several highly oxygenated, naturally-occurring carbazo1es is described.

Do growth aspirations go hand in hand with succession solutions in family businesses?
Creators: name: Duh, Mojca

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of our research is to establish if growth ambitions of entrepreneurs in family businesses go hand in hand with succession solutions. We are focused especially on transition countries, where the studies on this topic are very rare; the main reason being that the private enterprises were outlawed during the era of a socialist economy. But the social and economic changes in the Eastern Europe in the 1990s have created an opportunity for the rebirth of entrepreneurship and family business development. Within transition countries we focus particularly on the case of Slovenia that is one of the former socialist countries where the possibility to establish private enterprises was opened in 1988. Even though the importance of family enterprises has been proved by numerous researches we still cannot answer the question, what is a family enterprise, since there is no universal definition of it. In our paper we therefore pay also a special attention to the appropriate definition of a family enterprise in transition countries. One of major problems that family businesses are facing is the transfer of ownership and management to the next family generation (succession in management and ownership). While significant research efforts have been devoted to the topic of succession in countries with the tradition of entrepreneurship and market economy, very little is known about how family enterprises in transition countries are coping with the succession problem, even though according to experience from established market economies it shall become a serious problem. On the other hand a firm's growth is regarded as a key to economic development and to the creation of wealth and employment. While there are some researches on performance and ambition contrasts between family and non-family enterprises (in developed market economies), there is no report on differences about this issue between family enterprises that have gained succession solutions with comparison to those, that have not. The growth aspirations in our research were assessed by analysing the entrepreneur's anticipation of an increase in the number of new jobs, while the potential of his/her businesses to grow was based on his/her opinions about the creation of new markets and market expansion with innovativeness of their products/services, and regarding the innovativeness of the technology used. This paper therefore attempts to make three main contributions with providing clearer insight into: (i) succession issues in family businesses, (ii) entrepreneurial growth aspirations of entrepreneurs in family businesses and (iii) the impact of unsolved succession problems on ambitions of entrepreneurs to grow their business in future in transition countries in general, with particular focus to the case of Slovenia.

description: Anthropogenic land use causes global declines in biodiversity. Despite the knowledge that animal carrion is the most nutrient-rich form of dead organic matter, studies on landscape and local scales determining whether and the means by which land use intensity influences the diversity of the carrion-associated insect fauna are globally scarce. We investigated the effects of land use intensity and abiotic and biotic environmental factors on the abundance, species richness, and diversity of the important ecosystem-service-providing silphid beetle taxon (carrion beetles) in three regions of Germany. In 61 forest stands distributed over three geographically distinct regions in Central Europe, we trapped silphid beetles on exposed piglet cadavers during late summer. In all three regions, higher ambient temperatures and higher fine sand contents were associated with the abundance of the silphid beetle taxa. The carrion community silphid diversity was negatively affected by an increase in mean ambient temperature in all three regions. Although management intensity in forests did not affect the overall abundance of Silphidae, the abundance of Nicrophorus humator decreased significantly with higher forest management intensity across all three regions. Unmanaged and age-class forests showed a higher abundance of N. humator compared with extensively managed forest stands. These findings indicate that N. humator has potential as an indicator species for anthropogenic disturbances in forests. Overall, the direct responses of the silphid beetle community to diverse soil characteristics underline soil as an important factor determining the abundance and diversity of necrophagous carrion beetles in Central Europe. To protect these valuable ecosystem-service providers, forest-management-induced soil modifications need to be paid close attention.

description: Depuis le XIXe siècle, les progrès techniques, développés à partir de la recherche et des découvertes scientifiques, ont transformé le monde. Ces transformations ont touché toutes les sphères de l'activité humaine, y compris la littérature. Cette thèse propose une réflexion en trois volets, trois modes sur les rapports entre la science et la littérature. La première partie comprend des analyses épistémocritiques de trois oeuvres emblématiques de trois périodes différentes: Louis Lambert d'Honoré de Balzac, En attendant Godot de Samuel Beckett et Hier de Nicole Brossard. Deux genres sont ainsi abordés, le roman et le théâtre. L'objectif de ces analyses est de dégager des pistes de réflexions sur la création littéraire. Ces réflexions ont nourri, par la suite, une création littéraire, Fractures du dimanche: roman, qui constitue la deuxième partie de la thèse. Il s'agit d'une oeuvre hybride, qui vacille entre le théâtre et le roman, un travail d'écriture expérimentale, inspire de certaines théories scientifiques contemporaines. Enfin, dans la troisième partie, un retour sur l'écriture de Fractures du dimanche: roman mène à des essais d'épistémogénétiques sur deux des trois oeuvres étudiées. Ces essais jettent un éclairage nouveau sur le processus créateur.

description: Cells sense physical properties of their extracellular environment and translate them into biochemical signals. In this study, cell responses to surfaces with submicron topographies were investigated in cultured human NF1 haploinsufficient fibroblasts. Age-matched fibroblasts from 8 patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1+/–) and 9 controls (NF1+/+) were cultured on surfaces with grooves of 200 nm height and lateral distance of 2 µm. As cellular response indicator, the mean cell orientation along microstructured grooves was systematically examined. The tested NF1 haploinsufficient fibroblasts were significantly less affected by the topography than those from healthy donors. Incubation of the NF1+/– fibroblasts with the farnesyltransferase inhibitor FTI-277 and other inhibitors of the neurofibromin pathway ameliorates significantly the cell orientation. These data indicate that NF1 haploinsufficiency results in an altered response to specific surface topography in fibroblasts. We suggest a new function of neurofibromin in the sensoric mechanism to topographies and a partial mechanosensoric blindness by NF1 haploinsufficiency. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS

El cannabis es la sustancia de abuso ilegal más consumida entre personas de 15 a 34 años (15%-22%), con potenciales efectos negativos psiquiátricos como: ansiedad, ideación suicida, síntomas psicóticos, alteraciones cognitivas y motoras, y consecuencias físicas como el síndrome de hiperémesis.

El objetivo es presentar un cuadro complejo de síntomas neuropsiquiátricos en el contexto de hiperémesis cannabinoide y el abordaje en hospital general de una paciente con historia de abuso de cannabis y alteración de personalidad.

 

 

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO

Mujer de 31 años con antecedentes psiquiátricos desde 2019 por trastorno de personalidad mixto, trastorno de conducta alimentaria, abuso de cannabis y ocasionalmente cocaína. Mala adherencia terapéutica y 22 atenciones en urgencias por emesis cíclicas por cannabis.

Acude a Urgencias con cuadro de hiperémesis de 5 días de evolución, conducta desorganizada, ideas de robo y perjuicio, alucinaciones auditivas simples, fluctuantes y alteración de conciencia tras vómitos.

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS

En la exploración no presentó hallazgos significativos. Psicopatológicamente: clínica delirante de perjuicio-referencia no estructurada, fluctuante, alucinaciones simples, conductas de hiperactividad, discurso incoherente hasta la ensalada de palabras y neologismos, dificultad para centrar y mantener atención, alteración de conciencia fluctuante.

Analítica: sodio 126 mmol/L, potasio 2,1 mmol/L, Hemoglobina: 16 g/dl, leucocitos 14600; resto sin alteraciones. Orina: sodio 3, potasio 13. Serología Negativa

Tóxicos: cannabis y benzodiacepinas positivos

Tomografía craneal, punción lumbar, Electroencefalograma, electrocardiograma sin hallazgos significativos.

DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL Y TRATAMIENTO

El diagnóstico más probable fue delirium por hiponatremia e hipopotasemia. Se consideró un episodio psicótico primario o secundario a tóxicos como diagnóstico diferencial. El paciente ingresó precisando sueroterapia, sujeción mecánica y tratamiento sintomático con risperidona y lorazepam, seguido de olanzapina oral 30 mg. Tras 48h con normalización iónica, el cuadro confusional mejoró y los síntomas psicóticos se resolvieron en otras 48h.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES

El caso presentado ilustra la complejidad de cuadros confusionales y las complicaciones del uso de cannabis.  Es importante considerar que las manifestaciones y la evolución de los parámetros fisiológicos no siempre son paralelos en el tiempo, aspecto clave del manejo del paciente.

description: We perform a kinematic and morphological analysis of 44 star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 2 in the COSMOS legacy field using near-infrared spectroscopy from Keck/MOSFIRE and F160W imaging from CANDELS/3D-HST as part of the ZFIRE survey. Our sample consists of cluster and field galaxies from 2.0 < z < 2.5 with K-band multi-object slit spectroscopic measurements of their Hα emission lines. Hα rotational velocities and gas velocity dispersions are measured using the Heidelberg Emission Line Algorithm (HELA), which compares directly to simulated 3D data cubes. Using a suite of simulated emission lines, we determine that HELA reliably recovers input S 0.5 and angular momentum at small offsets, but V 2.2/σ g values are offset and highly scattered. We examine the role of regular and irregular morphology in the stellar mass kinematic scaling relations, deriving the kinematic measurement S 0.5, and finding with no significant offset between morphological populations and similar levels of scatter (∼0.16 dex). Additionally, we identify a correlation between M ∗ and V 2.2/σ g for the total sample, showing an increasing level of rotation dominance with increasing M ∗, and a high level of scatter for both regular and irregular galaxies. We estimate the specific angular momenta (j disk) of these galaxies and find a slope of 0.36 ± 0.12, shallower than predicted without mass-dependent disk growth, but this result is possibly due to measurement uncertainty at M ∗ < 9.5 However, through a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test we find irregular galaxies to have marginally higher j disk values than regular galaxies, and high scatter at low masses in both populations.
Fluglärmbericht 2017 des Umweltbundesamtes - Einordnung und Empfehlungen

description: 2007 wurde das Gesetz zum Schutz gegen Fluglärm (FluLärmG) novelliert. Mit der Gesetzesnovelle wurde auch eine regelmäßige Überprüfung des FluLärmG eingeführt. Danach muss die Bundesregierung erstmalig spätestens 2017 und dann spätestens alle zehn Jahre dem Deutschen Bundestag einen Bericht über dieses Gesetz vorlegen. Dabei sollen insbesondere die Schutzzonenwerte der Lärmschutzbereiche unter Berücksichtigung des Standes der Lärmwirkungsforschung und der Luftfahrttechnik bewertet werden. Das Umweltbundesamt hat zur Vorbereitung des Berichts der Bundesregierung zur Evaluation des FluLärmG den â€ÌFluglärmbericht 2017 des Umweltbundesamtesâ€Ì verfasst. Darin wird eine detaillierte Analyse des FluLärmG sowie weiterer Regelungen zum Schutz vor Fluglärm vorgenommen. Aufbauend auf den dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnissen werden Empfehlungen für eine Weiterentwicklung des FluLärmG und des untergesetzlichen Regelwerks gegeben. Da aber auch außerhalb des Geltungsbereichs des FluLärmG beträchtliche Fluglärmprobleme bestehen, ist ein übergeordnetes Konzept erforderlich. Dieses soll auch andere rechtliche Regelungen, wie beispielsweise das Luftverkehrsgesetz, in einen umfassenden Schutz vor Fluglärm einbeziehen. Das Umweltbundesamt empfiehlt daher eine grundsätzliche Änderung der Konzeption des FluLärmG, und zwar sollte für die Tagzeit von 6:00 bis 22:00 Uhr eine Lärmkontingentierung eingeführt und während der Nachtzeit von 22:00 bis 06:00 Uhr aus Gründen des präventiven Gesundheitsschutzes kein regulärer Flugbetrieb auf stadtnahen Flughäfen stattfinden. Diese sowie weitere Erkenntnisse werden vorgestellt und diskutiert. Quelle: http://app2018.daga-tagung.de

description: More than the sum of its parts! Moving from binary to ternary blends of active materials in cathode materials for lithium ion batteries provides a versatile design beyond the properties of the individual components. Synergistic effects improve the rate capability, power, thermal, and chemical stability of the blend. Overall advantageous performance is achieved while economizing 25 % cobalt and nickel of a NMC622 based electrode. The combination of two active materials into one positive electrode of a lithium-ion battery is an uncomplicated and cost-effective way to combine the advantages of different active materials while reducing the disadvantages of each material. In this work, the concept of binary blends is extended to ternary compositions. The combination of three different active materials provides high versatility in designing the properties of an electrode. Therefore, the unique properties of a layered oxide, phospho-olivine, and spinel type material are mixed to design a high-energy cathode with improved environmental friendliness. Four different compositions of blend electrodes are investigated, each with individual benefits. Synergistic effects improved the rate capability, power density, thermal and chemical stability simultaneously. The blend electrode consisting of 75 % NMC, 12.5 % LMFP and LMO provides similar energy and power density as a pure NMC electrode while economizing 25 % cobalt and nickel.
The relevance of engineering entrepreneurship: a study at CPUT
Creators: name: Esbach, Johan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research examines the concept ‘Engineering entrepreneurship’, looking at the contribution that engineers make towards a rapid changing technological environment that support the growth South African economy. This research works on the premise that engineering entrepreneurship lends itself to high technology entrepreneurial activity, but seeks to understand whether engineers are sufficiently progressive to support rapid change. Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) places the catalyst for high-expectation entrepreneurship (aged: 23 - 32 years, highly educated, potential high income), squarely in the BACCALAUREUS TECHNOLOGIAE (BTech) program at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). The answer we must find is one that seeks to understand whether engineering entrepreneurship is relevant in the South African context.
