description: Background: COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the US, and COPD exacerbations result in approximately 700,000 hospitalizations annually. Patients with acute respiratory failure due to severe COPD exacerbation are treated with invasive (IMV) or noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV). Although IMV reverses hypercapnia/hypoxia, it causes significant morbidity and mortality. There is strong evidence that patients treated with NIV have better outcomes, and NIV is recommended as first line therapy in these patients. Yet, several studies have demonstrated substantial variation in the use of NIV across hospitals, leading to preventable morbidity and mortality. Through a series of mixed-methods studies, we have found that successful implementation of NIV requires physicians, respiratory therapists (RTs), and nurses to communicate and collaborate effectively, suggesting that efforts to increase the use of NIV in COPD need to account for the complex and interdisciplinary nature of NIV delivery and the need for team coordination. Therefore, we propose to compare two educational strategies: online education (OLE) and interprofessional education (IPE) which targets complex team-based care in NIV delivery. Methods and design: Twenty hospitals with low baseline rates of NIV use will be randomized to either the OLE or IPE study arm. The primary outcome of the trial is change in the hospital rate of NIV use among patients with COPD requiring ventilatory support. In aim 1, we will compare the uptake change over time of NIV use among patients with COPD in hospitals enrolled in the two arms. In aim 2, we will explore mediators' role (respiratory therapist autonomy and team functionality) on the relationship between the implementation strategies and implementation effectiveness. Finally, in aim 3, through interviews with providers, we will assess acceptability and feasibility of the educational training. Discussions: This study will be among the first to carefully test the impact of IPE in the inpatient setting. This work promises to change practice by offering approaches to facilitate greater uptake of NIV and may generalize to other interventions directed to seriously-ill patients.

description: Die Bildung von Adventivknospen an Blattexplantaten einiger Unterlags- und Edelreissorten der Rebe Adventivknospen bildeten sich am häufigsten an Blattexplantaten der Sorten Rupestris St. George, Thompson Seedless und Niagara (ca. 35-50 %), in mittlerer Häufigkeit bei Ramsey, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay und Concord (ca. 25-30 %), am wenigsten häufig bei 110-R und ARG 1 (20 % ). Explantate von Blattstielen waren im allgemeinen regenerationsfähiger als solche aus Blattspreiten. Die Art und Weise, in der die Mutterpflanzen kultiviert wurden (Klimakammer oder in vitro), wirkte sich später nicht auf die Bildung von Adventivknospen aus. Benzyladenin (10 μM) und a-Naphthylessigsiäure (0,05-0,10 μM) waren in Verbindung mit Cytokinin und Auxin für die Bildung von Adventivknospen am wirksamsten. An Blattspreiten-Explantaten wurden mehr Knospen gebildet (1-12) als an Blattstiel-Explantaten (1-6). Ein gleichbleibender Einfluß der Behandlung auf die Anzahl der Knospen je Explantat lag jedoch nicht vor. Der maßgebliche Faktor war der Prozentsatz der Explantate, die überhaupt Adventivknospen ausbildeten.

description: Three new [Cu2(μ-Cl)2(O-2-alkoxyethylpyridine-2-carboximidate)2Cl2] complexes, where alkoxy = methoxy, ethoxy, and butoxy, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR spectra, electronic spectra, EPR, conductance, magnetic moment, powdered X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The three complexes contain chloride as a bridging ligand and in each complex the planar bidentate ligand binds the metal ion via the pyridine-N and the NH of the imino ether group. The X-ray crystal structure of [Cu2(μ-Cl)2(O-2-butoxyethylpyridine-2-carboximidate)2Cl2] shows that it crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dinuclear species in which each copper(II) is in a distorted square pyramid. Magnetic field-induced partial molecular alignment has been observed in polycrystalline samples of 2 and 3 when cooled in a magnetic field of 1 T at 77 K. The interaction of these complexes with Calf thymus DNA has been explored and the values of binding constant, Kb for 1, 2, and 3 are 1.524 × 103, 5.587 × 103, and 6.362 × 103 (ML−1)−1, respectively. Complexes were screened for antimicrobial activities by the agar well diffusion technique.

description: There is a widespread concern amongst librarians that Google Search and Wikipedia are making library reference services and even library collections redundant. There is however, little research on the types of subjects that people look up on Google, Wikipedia and library catalogues. This exploratory analysis draws together the results of transaction log analyses of the subjects of Google and library catalogue search queries and the subject of search engine queries that took users to Wikipedia. As well as comparing the subject of search queries, it estimates the extent of use of each information resource. Hence this paper contributes to research on current information-seeking and the role of public libraries in online information provision.

description: Einfluß der Verpackungs- und Lagerungsbedingungen auf die Haltbarkeit von Perlette-Trauben Um die Verluste zwischen Ernte und Verkauf von Perlette-Trauben zu verringern, wurde jeweils 1/4 eines SO2-Spenders („Dual Release" SO2 generator) in die 2 kg Trauben fassenden Polyäthylenbeutel gelegt; die Verpackungsbeutel waren mit Perforationen versehen, die 0,56; 0,84; 1,12; 1,40 und 1,68 % der Folienfläche ausmachten. Die gefüllten Beutel wurden bei 5, 15, 25, 30 und 35 °C (Freilandtemperatur) in belüftete 2-kg-Kartons aus Wellpappe verpackt und 60 d lang kühl gelagert (0-3 °C). Bei der Verkostung wurden die Trauben mit einer Verpackungstemperatur von 35 °C und 1,12%iger Perforation der Verpackungsqeutel am besten beurteilt. Die niedrigste Verpackungstemperatur (5 °C) und der niedrigste Perforationsgrad (0,56 %) verringerten beide den physiologischen Gewichtsverlust (PLW) und das Abfallen der Beeren am stärksten. PLW nahm mit der Dauer der Lagerung zu. Bis zu einer Lagerungsdauer von 40 d in zu 0,56 %, 0,85 % und 1,12 % perforierten Beuteln trat keine Beerenfäulnis auf; diese war jedoch auch bei erhöhter Perforation noch zu vernachlässigen. Die höchsten Mostgewichte wurden bei Verpakkungstemperaturen von 30 oder 35 °C nach 40tägiger Lagerung festgestellt; danach nahm das Mostgewicht ab. Die höchsten Säurewerte wurden bei Verpackungstemperaturen von 25 und 35 °C nach einer Lagerungsdauer von 40 d, bei 15 und 30 °C nach 60 d ermittelt. Demzufolge können PerletteTrauben durch beigepackte SO2-Spender in Folienbeuteln, die zu 1,12 % perforiert sind und Verpacken bei 35 °C bis zu 40 d erfolgreich gelagert werden.

description: Online video has grown rapidly in Australia in recent years, as in other parts of the world. This article provides results from an analysis of the state of this sector conducted in 2011. First, it summarizes overall audio-visual media usage in Australia, including online and other media. Second it explains the methodology and results of an analysis of 25 websites over the year from June 2010 to June 2011 and notes some qualifications about the state of online video measurement. These sites were selected because they are popular online sources of fiction content. Third, it describes the main features of the 25 sites, including the types of content offered, the delivery technologies and the business models. This work is part of a larger project that aims to quantify the changing ways Australians are watching and engaging with audio-visual stories across the cinema, free-to-air and subscription television, consumer/DVD, online and mobile sectors. The larger project, 'Spreading fictions: Distributing stories in the online age', is being conducted from 2010–2013 by The Swinburne Institute for Social Research in Melbourne and the University of Sydney, supported by the Australian Research Council, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Screen Australia. The focus on narrative fiction content reflects the high priority given by successive governments in Australia and overseas to policies encouraging the making, promotion, screening and discussion of local audio-visual works, especially feature films, adult and children's TV dramas and documentaries. These policies are based on the high cost of these formats relative to the revenue-earning capacity of national markets. Challenges to these underlying economics are coming from at least three related directions: technology, audience behaviour and business models.

description: Background: In the Venezuelan high Andes, wheat cultivation on steep slopes since colonial times has caused the degradation of extensive areas. After several decades of abandonment, natural succession has not allowed the spontaneous recovery of the original alpine vegetation.Aims: Our aim was to identify a degradation gradient, based on vegetation structure, and relate this gradient to different environmental factors (grazing intensity, physical soil degradation, distance to seed sources and loss of soil fertility) that could be preventing spontaneous succession.Methods: Vegetation structure and 22 environmental variables were sampled on 92 slopes with different degrees of degradation. Multivariate statistics were used to relate the state of the vegetation to environmental factors.Results: Six types of vegetation were identified and ranked along a degradation gradient. Several soil properties, for example C, N, clay content and cation-exchange capacity, decreased by as much as 50% along this gradient, while other variables, such as current grazing intensity were only slightly correlated to the degradation gradient.Conclusions: Vegetation and soil properties were clearly related to a strong degradation gradient, caused by former wheat cultivation and overgrazing, with symptoms of desertification. Restoration practices have to be directed towards re-establishing soil organic matter and its functional role in regulating water balance and nutrient cycling.

description: This chapter examines the factors affecting women’s career progression in three sectors of employment: tertiary education, financial services, and schools and Victorian state government services. Traditional linear paths are changing and more flexible career pathways are commonplace. Older women need to keep working to compensate for inadequate superannuation balances, yet their careers are difficult to sustain. The chapter particularly explores factors affecting older women’s working lives and the cumulative barriers mitigating success in their careers, and proposes recommendations for government and employers.

title: Light Conditions during Desiccation and Rehydration Impact the Recovery of Cultured Timmiella Crassinervis
Creators: name: Ebrahimi, Sotodeh
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2020

description: Many terrestrial mosses of xeric environments experience excess light during extended periods of desiccation. While dry or hydrated, excess light energy can lead to formation of reactive oxygen species and photoinhibition (e.g. damage to Photosystem II) which affects photosynthetic stress and efficiency. This study aimed to determine the effect of duration dry and light intensity (PAR) on cultured shoots of the chaparral moss Timmiella crassinervis, as well as to elucidate the optimal rehydration light conditions for this species. I hypothesized that 1) mosses exposed to higher light intensities during desiccation would incur more damage upon rehydration than those exposed to lower light intensities, 2) lower light intensities during rehydration would be more conducive to recovery than higher light intensities, and 3) the combination of high light during desiccation and rehydration will be the most stressful. To this end, shoots were removed from culture, slowly dried for 55 h, moved to a growth chamber at 160 PAR, ~25 PAR, and darkness for 10 days, and rehydrated at their respective light level for 72 h. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were taken at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h to assess relative shoot health and recovery from desiccation and light stress. Desiccation- and recovery-light intensities showed a significant interaction effect on the recovery of photosynthetic stress (Fv/Fm) and operating efficiency (?PSII). However, desiccation-light level was more important for the recovery of Fv/Fm than recovery-light level. As hypothesized, high-desiccation light was most stressful regardless of the recovery-light level. Recovery of Fv/Fm was not affected by recovery light, but recovery of ?PSII was best under low light. Finally, light conditions during desiccation and rehydration may be conferring light acclimation to this species, highlighting the importance of light during these stages for not only recovery, but also photoprotection, which should be taken into consideration in the design and focus of future experiments.

description: Jahresverlauf des Wachstums und der Stickstoffverteilung in Blatt, Trieb und Traube von Weinreben In einem Ertragsrebberg wurden in regelmäßigen Abständen während des Jahres Proben von Blättern, Trieben und Trauben genommen. Davon wurden das Frisch- und Trockengewicht, die Blattfläche sowie der Wasser- und Stickstoffgehalt bestimmt. Das Wachstum wurde auf der Basis von Grad-Tagen > 10 °C (GT) dargestellt. Das Primärblatt-Wachstum konnte in zwei Phasen unterteilt werden. Die erste Phase dauerte bis zum Alter von 250 GT und war durch ein rasches Blattwachstum gekennzeichnet (0.0043 g · GT-1). Die zweite Phase wies nur eine geringe Wachstumsrate von 0.0006 g · GT-1 auf und dauerte bis zum Blattfall. Bei 250 GT war das Blatt voll entfaltet und die N-Einlagerung abgeschlossen. Die spezifische Blattfläche (m2 . g-1) fiel nach einem kurzen Anstieg mit zunehmendem Blattalter kontinuierlich ab. N- und Wasser-Gehalte nahmen im Verlaufe des Jahres ebenfalls ab. Im Spätsommer sind zwar mehr Geizblätter als Primärblätter vorhanden, die gesamte Blattfläche und -masse sowie die absolute N-Menge waren jedoch ungefähr gleich auf Haupt- und Geiztriebe verteilt. Die relative Verteilung von Trockensubstanz (TS) in Blättern und Trieben unterschied sich von der N-Verteilung. Der größte Anteil an TS war in den Trieben lokalisiert, während sich in den Blättern die größte N-Menge vorfand.

Creators: name: Ellis, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2020

description: The vibrational contribution to the second hyperpolarizability (γ) of gas phase H2 was measured using electric field induced second harmonic generation. Measurements were made for the pure vibrational 3-0 Q(J) overtone transitions (v=0,J → v’=3,J for J = 0,1,2,3). Measured intensities were found to be 4-14% larger than ab initio calculations. The first chapter of this thesis provides an introduction to nonlinear optics, second harmonic generation, and the tensor nature of hyperpolarizabilities. The second chapter provides theoretical expressions for γ and relevant static and Raman polarizabilities. The third chapter covers the experimental design and electric field induced second harmonic generation. The final two chapters discuss the results and analysis of the experiment and possible future impact.

description: Self-assembled 2 × 2 grids have been characterised as high-fidelity species produced when the correct stoichiometric ratios are met, but rarely are the individual steps leading to and from their formation characterised. Here, we present such a study using equilibrium-restricted factor analysis to model a set of UV–vis spectra starting from a bis-bidentate ligand to the assembly of a 2 × 2 grid complex upon titration with 1 equiv. of [Cu(MeCN)4](PF6) and to disassembly upon further titration. Intermediate species [CuL2]+, [Cu2L3]2+, [Cu3L2]3+ and [Cu2L]2+ are evidenced along the assembly and disassembly pathways. Complementary 1H NMR titrations are consistent with the rich set of complexes and equilibria involved. Given the nature of the assembly process, the assembly is entropy driven and likely enthalpy driven as well. The disassembly process is both enthalpy and entropy driven according to the standard free energy values derived from the modelling of the spectrophotometric titration data.

Dimensions: D = 0,43-0,46 mm; d = 0,36- 0,36 mm; g = 0,19 mm
 Remarks: In the paper of Applin et al. (1925) in the last part of this article were described few species of foraminifera. Some of these species belong to the Paleogen, but there are also two species from the Upper Cretaceous: Globigerina marginata d'Orbigny and a new taxon Globigerina cretacea var. saratogensis (Fig. 17: 1-6 in the present paper). In the description of this new subspecies, Applin et al. (1925, p. 98) pointed out the following features: " chambers increasing gradually in size, sometime slightly carinated at the periphery (which is frail represented on the figure) wall smoothing. The regularity of coiling and the tendency for the form to develop a carinared rim.".......Taking in consideration all the presented features, our specimens (Fig. 3: 25-27) corresponds with the Applin taxon.
 By the inflated character of the chambers, spiral and umbilical, this species differs from Bolli's Praeglobotruncana coarctata 1957.

title: A Divide and Conquer with Semi-Global Failover for Software Defined Networks
Creators: name: Goravanchi, Kasra

description: Nowadays, many service providers need to provide many other functions than just a network connectivity. They also need to provide network functions such as network address translation, firewall, encryption, Domain Name Service (DNS), caching, routing and many other services. Usually these functions come with the hardware at the user or customer’s premises. This can increase the revenue of the revenue, but also can cost a lot and also be extremely difficult to maintain. Moreover, it is important to be able to configure the network and later modify the configuration to create fault tolerance and to prepare the system for future updates. In traditional network architecture, it is very difficult to do this since both the data plane and control plane are bound together inside every node in the network. To address this issue, SDN exists which decouples the data plane and the control plane. SDNs also create fault tolerance, but within SDN there are also different types of failure.

In this thesis, a divide and conquer approach in the high-level architecture of SDN-based networks with a semi-global controller will be discussed in order to show a new layer of fault tolerance and a possible solution to controller and link failures in SDNs. The research will begin comparing the traditional networking with Software Defined Networking. Then looks at different fault domains in SDN. Next the solution playing on the high-level architecture of SDNs with a semi global controller will be defined. Also, some metrics and results against the prepared prototype will be analyzed and compared with other existing fault tolerance solutions.

description: Strukturelle und funktionelle Veränderungen an den Blättern der Rebe ( Vitis vinifera L.) unter dem Einfluß der Obstbaumspinnmilbe (Panonychus ulmi KOCH) Die durch Panonychus ulmi verursachte Schädigung der Blätter von Vitis vinifera-Sorten wurde untersucht: • In den befallenen Blättern wurden histologische Veränderungen an Zellen der unteren und oberen Epidermis und im Schwamm- und Palisadenparenchym festgestellt. Die Schädigung reichte vom Abbau der Zellorganenellen bis zur vollständigen Zerstörung von Zellen, so daß im Mesophyllgewebe nekrotische Hohlräume entstanden. • Die Häufigkeit und Ausdehnung dieser Nekrosen nahm mit dem Grad der Blattverfärbung durch Spinnmilbenbefall ("Bronzierung") zu. • Der Chlorophyllgehalt der befallenen Blätter verringerte sich mit fortschreitender Blattverfärbung. • Befallene Blätter zeigten mit zunehmender Blattverfärbung sowohl unter natürlichen wie konstanten Umweltbedingungen einen Rückgang der stomatären Leitfähigkeit, Photosynthese und Transpiration. Signifikante negative Korrelationen zwischen dem Grad der Blattverfärbung und dem Chlorophyllgehalt sowie den oben genannten Parametern des Gaswechsels bestätigten die Brauchbarkeit eines auf visueller Bonitur beruhenden Klassifzierungssystems (RILLING 1989), das für die Selektion spinnmilbentoleranter Reben vorgeschlagen wurde.

Heads and tails: the long tail in Australian media markets
Creators: name: McCutcheon, Marion

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper analyses sales of products within three Australian media markets--cinema box office, DVD retail and book retail--from 2002 to 2011. Several conclusions are drawn. First, significant long tail characteristics emerged in the books and particularly DVD markets, but not cinema, over the period. Second, where the number of titles selling in a market is changing rapidly, the choice of metric is vital for analysing the existence of a long tail. Third, across all three media, the analysis shows the oldest and most open market--books--has, by a narrow margin, the strongest blockbuster characteristics. Fourth, although the tail has grown for books and DVDs, it is very long and very, very thin. Finally, although this analysis has used three media products that involve comparable consumer transactions and analysed them as discrete markets, there are significant relationships between them which we hope to analyse in further research.

description: Vorkommen von Grapevine-Virus A (GVA) und anderen Closteroviren in blattrollkranken tunesischen Reben Reben, die aus den Hauptweinbaugebieten Tunesiens stammten, wurden auf die Anwesenheit von Closteroviren hin überprüft. Während in keiner der symptomfreien Reben Viruspartikel entdeckt wurden, enthielten alle Reben mit Blattrollsymptomen - außer zweien - Closteroviruspartikel, die durch IEM (immune electron microscopy) in konzentrierten Blattextrakten oder unmittelbar in Rohsaft durch ISEM (immunosorbent electron microscopy) identifiziert wurden. Alle vier derzeit bekannten Closteroviren (GClV-1, GClV-2, GClV-3 und GVA) waren, meistens im Gemisch, in Reben mit Blattrollsymptomen vorhanden. GClV-3 und GVA wurden in 77 bzw. 50 % der geprüften Reben entdeckt. Ein tunesisches Isolat von GVA, das durch Planococcus citri auf krautige Testpflanzen übertragen wurde, unterschied sich in biologischer Hinsicht, aber nicht in den charakteristischen physikalisch-chemischen und serologischen Eigenschaften von zwei italienischen Isolaten desselben Virus.

 1955 Globotruncana caliciformis ssp. sarmientoi Gandolfi, p.47, pl.3, fig.3 a-c
Dimensions: D = 0,53- 0,43 mm; d = 0,40- 0,36 mm; g = 0,19- 0,17 mm
 Remarks: The general aspect of the shell is specific to the genus Globotruncanella. Gandolfi (1955, p. 48) mention: " This species is morphologically related to Globorotalia pshadae Keller 1946 ". In contrast with Kellerr's species, G. sarmientoi differs by the large size; the presence of a double keel from the peripheral margins of the early chambers (the peripheral keel) is represented by a row of muricae. The last chamber or the last two chambers present only one keel smooth not rugose as there are on the early chambers. Ordinary on the umbilical side the early chambers a strong to weak rouged aspect. From the Gandolfi's species ours specimens differs by the aspect of the spiral side, where the chambers have a moderate inflated and smooth aspect. From Globotruncanella havanensis (Vootwjik l937) emend. Brönnimann & Brown 1955, ours specimens differs by the presence of a double peripheral keel on the early chambers, the presence of a single smooth keel on the last two chambers and the moderate convex but not flat aspect of the spiral size.

title: Gardasil Vaccine Trends within Nevada, California, and the U.S.: A Comparative Study
Creators: name: Gutierrez, Karen S.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2020

description: Despite decreasing incidence in cervical cancer in the U.S., there continues to be an
increase in public health concern for cervical cancer worldwide. Recent studies report that
individuals are disproportionately affected based on region, sex, and race. Additionally, the
human papillomavirus (HPV) attributable cancers may be reduced between 70% and 90%
through the universal use of HPV-vaccines. In order to expand current knowledge and implement
intervention programs in Nevada, it is critical to examine the associations among the Gardasil
vaccine, cervical cancer screening, and adverse events following immunization as well as to
understand the different socio-demographic subgroups affected. To our knowledge, this study
provided a novel analysis of the Gardasil vaccine usage trends within Nevada and will use an
adjacent state (California) and the U.S. as comparators. This study used 2008-2018 data from
TeenVaxView, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), and Vaccine Adverse
Event Reporting System (VAERS) data reporting adverse events following an HPV vaccination.
We found that California (68.4%) had the highest Gardasil vaccine usage compared to Nevada
(55.9%) and the U.S. (56.4%). Chi-square trend analysis in this study showed no significant
change in cervical cancer screening in Nevada (p=0.829); however, chi-square test for trend in
California did show a significant change through time (p<0.001). Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS)
test with a Bonferroni adjustment examining the differences among curves representing outcome
temporal rates for Nevada compared to California showed a significant difference (p=0.031). No
association was seen between Gardasil vaccine estimates and cervical cancer screening rates.
There was also no association between Gardasil estimates and adverse events through time in
Nevada or the U.S.
HIGHz: a survey of the most HI-massive galaxies at z~0.2

Year: 2024

description: We present the results of the HIGHz Arecibo survey, which measured the HI content of 39 galaxies at redshift z>0.16 selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. These are all actively star-forming, disk-dominated systems in relatively isolated environments, with stellar and HI masses larger than 1010 M⊙ and redshifts 0.17≤z≤0.25. Our sample includes not only the highest-redshift detections of HI emission from individual galaxies to date, but also some of the most HI-massive systems known. Despite being exceptionally large, the HI reservoirs of these galaxies are consistent with what is expected from their ultraviolet and optical properties. This, and the fact that the galaxies lie on the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, suggests that HIGHz systems are rare, scaled-up versions of local disk galaxies. We show that the most HI-massive galaxies discovered in the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey are the local analogues of HIGHz, and discuss the possible connection between our sample and the turbulent, gas-rich disks identified at z∼1. The HIGHz sample provides a first glimpse into the properties of the massive, HI-rich galaxies that will be detected at higher redshifts by the next-generation HI surveys with the Square Kilometer Array and its pathfinders.
Overstrength and ductility of limited ductile RC walls: from the design engineers perspective

description: Force-based seismic analysis of a structure requires knowledge of its overstrength and displacement ductility. Local earthquake standards provide typical values for both of these parameters for common types of construction in that region. This paper presents the findings of a recent study to determine the overstrength and displacement ductility of limited ductile reinforced concrete (RC) walls in Australia using the static non-linear pushover analysis method introduced in the latest version of the Australian earthquake code. This activity was performed from the ‘perspective of a design engineer’, i.e. by using simple analysis methods presented in well-known texts without having to rely on the use of specialised finite element packages, while following and complying with the Australian earthquake loading and material standards. For this purpose a mean stress-strain curve of Australian and New Zealand reinforcement was determined by analysing test data from an independent industry materials testing laboratory. A proposed model for the actual stress-strain curve of 500 MPa L, N and E grade reinforcement is presented in this paper. The long term mean in-situ strength of concrete is also discussed and recommendations put forward.
Absolute and relative binding affinity of cucurbit[7]uril towards a series of cationic guests

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: We determined the relative binding constants (Krel) for guests 1–19 towards cucurbit[7]uril by 1H NMR competition experiments in 100 mM Na3PO4-buffered D2O. In these experiments, we use guest 11 as the reference guest because of its strong binding towards CB[7] and its advantageous spectroscopic properties (e.g. slow exchange on NMR timescale and distinct resonances for key protons). To convert the determined Krel values to absolute binding constants, we performed a direct UV–vis titration of 1 with CB[7] to determine Ka for CB[7]√1. The trends in the determined values of Krel and Ka are discussed with respect to the importance of the concentration of metal ions in the buffer, the influence of hydroxyl groups located at the portals or inside the CB[7] cavity, geometry of the guest (e.g. regioisomers), the number of guest C atoms and secondary electrostatic interactions.

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: This paper presents an overview of how designers could undertake a displacement-based seismic assessment of rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) walls in accordance with Australian codes and standards. RC detailing in Australia generally results in a limited ductile RC structure and as such will be the focus of this paper. The various seismic performance objectives set out by Australian codes and standards are summarised herein. The paper will outline how a non-linear static pushover analysis could be performed in accordance with the Australian concrete structures standard to determine the force-displacement response curve of a rectangular wall. Mean stress-strain curves representing the actual performance of reinforcement and concrete are presented. The method presented for determining the force-displacement response curve is validated against large scale laboratory test results with very good correlation shown. The paper concludes with a parametric study of rectangular walls looking at how the overstrength and displacement ductility vary with changes in the axial load ratio, effective height, concrete strength and vertical reinforcement ratio.
