description: The infructescence of Platycarya strobilacea Sieb. et Zucc is a well-known traditional medicine in China, Japan and Korea. The infructescence of P. strobilacea Sieb. et Zucc is a rich source of ellagitannins that are composed of ellagic acid (EA) and gallic acid, linked to a sugar moiety. The aim of this study was to prepare EA by acid hydrolysis of crude tannins from the infructescence of P. strobilacea Sieb. et Zucc, and establish a new technological processing method for EA. The natural antioxidant EA was prepared by using the water extraction of infructescence of P. strobilacea Sieb. et Zucc, evaporation, condensation, acid hydrolysis and prepared by the process of crystallisation. The yield percentage of EA from crude EA was more than 20% and the purity of the product was more than 98%, as identified by using HPLC. The structure was identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and comparison with authentic compound.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

Construction, analysis, and verification of a 3D-printed carbon fiber-silicone composite system for vibration isolation
Creators: name: Upadhyaya, Dhiren
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Embarking on a thorough investigation of vibration isolation, we employ an innovative 3D-printed carbon fiber-silicone composite system. The material modeling phase, featuring the fabrication of a 3D print carbon fiber-silicone composite cube, selected viscoelastic model, lays the groundwork for dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) experiments conducted on a 10x10x10mm composite cube. Key insights, including heightened stiffness and improved damping characteristics, foundational for effective vibration isolation, are revealed through these experiments. The subsequent integration of Numerical Analysis validates DMA findings. Data Analysis and Modelling constructs a robust look-up table for material properties, enhancing understanding of the composite's behavior under dynamic conditions.In the empirical realm, free displacement tests are performed on aluminum and carbon fiber-silicone strips, affirming the efficacy of the composite in reducing vibrations. This tangible evidence positions the composite as a practical solution for vibration isolation challenges. This study proposes a forward-looking vibration displacement experiment to assess real-world effectiveness beyond laboratory confines. This interdisciplinary research, emphasizing passive voice throughout, contributes foundational knowledge on composite materials, portraying the 3D-printed carbon fiber-silicone composite as a promising tool for engineers and industries grappling with vibration-related challenges. The study marks a significant step towards redefining vibration isolation technologies, with the 3D-printed composite system emerging as a potential revolution in the domain of advanced materials for vibration isolation applications.In conclusion, the research not only delves into the intricate dynamics of vibrations but also positions the study as an opportunity to redefine engineering solutions. As this journey unfolds, the 3D-printed composite system emerges as a potential paradigm shift in advanced materials, presenting a unique proposition for vibration isolation applications. Beyond immediate applications in vibration control, the study aligns with broader pursuits of sustainable technologies, minimizing energy consumption, reducing environmental impact, and offering versatile solutions to multifaceted challenges.
title: A Practice-Led and Autoethnographic Engagement with Solo Performance and Stigmatised Objects
Creators: name: Gander, R
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2022

description: This research took a practice-led and autoethnographic approach to querying themes of empowerment and objectification in relation to objects used in pole dance – high heels and the vertical pole. Throughout the course of this four-year study, I have created and performed three solo works, The Ten Inch Heels (2019), Unstable (2019) and Pol(e)arity of Self (2020), whilst simultaneously collecting data about the processes on which the works were built, as well as sharing the performances with audiences and gaining feedback from them. The data stands in a variety of forms including journal entry of my creative process and the autobiographical impulses that fuelled the works, video documentation of the live and digital performance pieces, and audience discussion from peer review groups, survey, written feedback, and verbal exchange. All data collected was thematically analysed and triangulated to find a recursive five-part model that clearly shows the ways in which I have used the pole and high heels, objects that have been accused of objectifying women, to achieve a heightened sense of agency in my practice. The found Creative and Reflective Model for Navigating Autobiographical Objects in Solo Performance to Achieve Agency demonstrates specifically how I have blended elements of my own autobiography, with that of the biography of the objects, to find creative ways of working with the objects that resulted in a heightened sense of knowledge and agency for me as the performer. The model details five components, including autobiography of the performer / choice to work with object, object biography via literature search, object (auto) biography and creative use of the object, audience gaze and achieving agency. The hybridity of this research, and its equal 50/50 weighting to both practical work (three works outlined above) and a written thesis (40,000 words) combines personal knowledge, found knowledge and practical knowledge, all of which come together to form an original contribution to knowledge. This knowledge extends discourse in areas of practice-led research, autoethnography, female solo performance practice, autobiographical research, pole dance, and performing with objects.

Modeling SSX Spheromak Plasmas: Internal Physics from External Measurements

description: In the recent years, computer simulations have become one of the main investigative tools in most areas of physics research. Computer modeling is also of particular importance in plasma physics, where highly dynamic nature of the conductive medium makes precise and detailed experimental measurements of the occurring processes very difficult. The Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment (SSX) studies the interaction
 of donut shaped magnetic structures known as spheromaks. The experimental measurements conducted on SSX can be approximately divided into two categories: `internal' and `external'. Internal measurements produce precise values of the quantities being measured, but cover only a small fraction of the volume of interest in the highly inhomogeneous medium and can interfere with the very processes being measured.
 On the other hand, external measurements are only capable of producing volume averaged values of the parameters of interest, thus integrating over the local structure and dynamics of plasma magnetofluid. We are thus forced to resort to modeling in our attempts to gain a better understanding of the physical processes taking place in the experiment. We currently employ two modeling codes: 0-D time-dependent impurity emission model, and 2 1/2-D resistive MHD simulation code. A VUV monochromator is used to collect time-resolved data from various plasma impurity lines. Line-ratios of the recorded intensities are then taken and compared with the predictions of the 0-D time-dependent coronal equilibrium model. Significant restrictions are thus generated on the possible values of plasma parameters such as electron temperature T_e and electron density n_e. The MHD code is employed to support our understanding of the
 structure and dynamics of the magnetofluid in the experiment as a whole and in the, so called, reconnection region in particular. The output of the simulation is matched with the measurements of the energetic particle's orbits and the 2-D B-field measurements.

Comparing disturbance-sensitivity between plants and birds: a fine-grained analysis in a suburban remnant wetland

Year: 2014

description: Hemeroby is a concept widely employed in assessment of the effect of human activities on vegetation. In this study, we apply the concept to a set of bird species occurring in a Mediterranean remnant wetland. The aim was to obtain an average hemeroby index for two seasonally related bird assemblages (i.e. breeding and wintering) based on the information related to two levels of plant hemeroby. In a grid of 47 cells 100×100 m-wide, we sampled the fine-grained distribution of plant communities (Braun-Blanquet method/cell) in parallel with birds (point count method; one point count/cell), assigning an independent score of hemeroby to plants and birds on a scale from I to V, from pristine habitats with a lack of natural and/or anthropogenic disturbance (score = I) to completely artificial habitats (score = V). Whereas bird species ranged from categories II to V, vegetation types spanned only the categories III and IV. Therefore, bird species showed a higher variability in hemeroby.By comparing hemeroby scores, we can deduce the effect that the vegetation disturbance may have on bird species. The mean hemeroby for breeding birds, calculated on all the species occurring in a determined plant hemeroby category, is not significantly different between sites with higher (= IV) and lower (= III) plant hemeroby (i.e. higher and lower level of disturbance). The mean hemeroby of the wintering birds was significantly different in the two levels of plant hemeroby (i.e. higher vs. lower hemeroby). Our data suggest that only the wintering birds had a hemeroby distribution pattern related to that of the plants, while the distribution of breeding birds showed no association, i.e. they appear in similar distribution in both plant hemeroby classes. This pattern may reflect the characteristics of the habitat types in relation to bird seasonality: a large section of wintering bird species are strictly water-related, linked to habitats with low plant hemeroby, so appearing more sensitive to change in plant hemeroby when compared to breeding species. Although explorative, our data may be useful in wildlife management, implying that in wetland–grassland mosaics the more sensitive wintering bird species are suitable as indicators aimed to test the effect of natural and anthropogenic disturbances.

description: As part of the previous French Total Diet Studies (TDS) focusing on exposure to food chemicals in the population aged 3 years and older, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) launched a specific TDS on infants to complete its overall chemical food safety programme for the general population. More than 500 chemical substances were analysed in food products consumed by children under 3 years old, including nutrients, several endocrine disruptors resulting from human activities (polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins and furans, brominated flame retardants, perfluoroalkyl acids, pesticide residues, etc.) or migrating from food contact materials such as bisphenol A or phthalates, but also natural substances such as mycotoxins, phytoestrogens and steroids. To obtain a representative and general view of infant food consumption, food items were selected based on results of a national consumption survey conducted specifically on this population. Moreover, a specific study on food was conducted on 429 households to determine which home-cooking practices are employed to prepare food consumed by infants. Overall, the targeted chemical substances were analysed in more than 450 food samples, representing the purchase and home-cooking practices of over 5500 food products. Foods included common foods such as vegetables, fruit or cakes as well as specific infant foods such as infant formula or jarred baby food. The sampling plan covered over 80% of the total diet. Specificities in infant food consumption and habits were therefore considered to define this first infant TDS. This study, conducted on a large scale and focusing on a particularly sensitive population, will provide accurate information on the dietary exposure of children under 3 years to food chemicals, especially endocrine disruptors, and will be particularly useful for risk assessment analysis under the remit of ANSES’ expert committees.

description: A series of side-chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) have been prepared. Their chemical structures and properties have been fully investigated. Homopolymers P1 and P7 show a nematic phase and a smectic A phase, respectively, and copolymers P2-P6 reveal a cholesteric phase. The reflection wavelengths of P2-P6 exhibit blue shift. P2-P6 display selective reflection at temperatures below the glass transition on first cooling cycle, which cannot be observed on the first heating. The isotropic phase transition temperatures and glass transition temperatures of the polymers increase with the increase of cholesteric mesogens in the polymer systems.

description: The cytotoxicity of the diterpene alcohol, phytol, was evaluated by using the MTT assay in vitro against seven tumour cells and one normal cell of human origin. The compound tested induced concentration-dependent cytotoxic response in all cell lines, demonstrating to be most and least effective against the breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 and the prostate adenocarcinoma PC-3 cells, respectively (IC50 8.79 ± 0.41 μM and 77.85 ± 1.93 μM). The IC50 values towards the other five tumours (HeLa, HT-29, A-549, Hs294T and MDA-MB-231) ranged from 15.51 to 69.67 μM. However, mild toxicity was detected against the foetal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells at the concentrations used (IC50 124.84 ± 1.59 μM). According to the experimental data obtained, this cost-effective natural product widely present in the biosphere may inspire the development of new drug-like substances with improved cytotoxic activity on breast cancer.

Homopolymers P1 and P7 show a nematic phase and a smectic A phase, respectively, and copolymers P2-P6 reveal a cholesteric phase. The reflection wavelengths of P2-P6 exhibit blue shift. P2-P6 display selective reflection at temperatures below the glass transition on first cooling cycle, which cannot be observed on the first heating. The isotropic phase transition temperatures and glass transition temperatures of the polymers increase with the increase of cholesteric mesogens in the polymer systems.

description: This document proposes a standardized, citizen-driven debate framework for local electoral candidates in the Philippines, particularly for City Mayor aspirants. The City Mayor Fair Debate with Questions by Filipino Citizens (Version 1.1) aims to establish a transparent, equal-opportunity debate system that discourages the use of political machinery and dynastic influence, and instead encourages public scrutiny, impromptu speaking, and issue-based discourse.

The core of the framework is built around a 100-attendee model, equally divided between supporters of opposing political parties, with debate questions anonymously submitted by the attendees themselves. The format ensures fairness through randomized question selection, time-limited responses, and equitable moderation. Deadlocks in procedural matters are resolved through light, culturally grounded methods such as toss coin or “bato bato pick,” promoting accessibility and relatability.

In addition to the main debate, the framework includes a collaborative format-setting phase where all aspirants publicly present and justify their preferred rules. The public can then participate in finalizing the format via social media engagement. This versioned model is scalable, adaptable to other elective positions, and intended for use by any locality committed to restoring integrity, transparency, and citizen participation in the democratic process.

Campaign Expense: ZERO (0 php)

This debate format is free for the Filipino people and for any nation that values fair elections. Use it. Edit it. Share it. But don’t exploit it. Just give credit as part of the debate program.

Watch, Practice, Improve: Towards In-the-wild Manipulation

description:  The longstanding dream of many roboticists is to see robots perform diverse  tasks in diverse environments. To build such a robot that can operate anywhere,  manymethods train on robotic interaction data. While these approaches have led  to significant advances, they rely on heavily engineered setups or high amounts  of supervision, neither of which is scalable. How can we move towards training  robots that operate autonomously, in the wild? Unlike computer vision and natural  language in which a staggering amount of data is available on the internet, robotics  faces a chicken-and-egg problem: to train robots to work in diverse scenarios, we  need a large amount of robot data from diverse environments but to collect this kind  of data, we need robots to be deployed widely- which is feasible only if they are  already proficient. How can we break this deadlock?  
The proposed solution, and the goal of my thesis, is to use an omnipresent  source of rich interaction data– humans. Fortunately, there are plenty of real world human interaction videos on the internet, which can help bootstrap robot  learning by side-stepping the expensive aspects of the data collection-training loop.  To this end, we aim to learn manipulation from watching humans perform various  tasks. We circumvent the embodiment gap by imitating the effect the human has  on the environment, instead of the exact actions. We obtain interaction priors, and  subsequently practice directly in the real world to improve. To move beyond explicit  human supervision, the second work in the thesis aims to predict robot-centric  visual affordances: where to interact and how to move post interaction, directly from  offline humanvideo datasets. We show that this model can be seamlessly integrated  into any robot learning paradigm. The third part of the thesis focuses on how to  build general-purpose policies by leveraging human data. We show that world  models are strong mechanisms to share representations across human and robot  data coming from many different environments. We use a structured affordance based action space to train multitask policies and show that this greatly boosts  performance. In the fourth work of the thesis, we investigate how to use human data  to build actionable representations for control. Our key insight is to move beyond  traditional training of visual encoder and use human actions and affordances to  improve the model. We find that this approach can improve real-world imitation  learning performance for almost any pre-trained model, across multiple challenging  tasks. Finally, visual affordances may struggle to capture complex action spaces,  especially in high-degree-of-freedom robots such as dexterous hands. Thus, in the  f  inal works of the thesis, we explore how to learn more explicit, physically grounded  action priors from human videos, mainly in the context of dexterous manipulation.
The Eco-socialist Roots of Ecological Civilisation

description: The notion of ecological civilisation has become central to Chinese efforts to confront and deal with environmental problems. However, ecological civilisation is characterised by its proponents in different ways. Some see it as simply an adjunct to the existing system designed to deal with current ecological crises. Its more radical proponents argue for a socialist ecological civilisation that should be developed globally and transform every part of society, changing the way people perceive, live and relate to each other and to nature, and the goals they aspire to. Ecological civilisation is a translation of the Russian notion of ecological culture, and tracing the history of ecology and the concept of culture in the Soviet Union, particularly in the 1920s, I will support this more radical view, arguing that ecological civilisation is not only underpinned by eco-socialism; it provides the means to clarify the meaning of socialism generally in a way that accords with deep assumptions of Marx’s critique of capitalism. That this notion has been officially embraced within China establishes a tradition of socialist thought that now has the potential to challenge and replace global capitalism.

description: Knowledge from past disasters can inform and support recovery, yet these insights are not always readily accessible to recovery practitioners. To bridge this gap, effective collaboration is needed to produce practical, evidence-based resources. This was the focus of the Recovery Capitals (ReCap) project, a collaboration between researchers and practitioners across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

description: Experiments at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), which were performed by researchers from the Department of Radiation
Dosimetry of the Nuclear Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and NIRS (Japanese National Institute of Radiological
Sciences) have revealed that solid state nuclear track etched detectors can work as spectrometers of linear energy transfer (LET) for particles with LET above 5–10 keV/μm (Spurný et al., Rad. Prot.
Dosim. 143, p. 519–522, 2011 and K. Pachnerová Brabcová et al., Rad. Prot. Dosim. 143, p. 440–444, 2011). In this thesis the HIMAC-BIO beamline geometry was reproduced together with an experimental set-up for monoenergetic C12 ion beams of energies 290 MeV/n and 400 MeV/n and spread out Bragg peak of the C12 beam with energy
290 MeV/n in Geant4. Geant4 is an open source Monte Carlo simulation toolkit for simulations of transportation of particles through matter. Using the described geometry, we calculated depth dose distributions in water, the spectra of linear energy transfer for various thicknesses of PMMA shielding and the estimated contribution of detected and undetected particles to the fluence and dose. When considering the uncertainties of LET measurement with TEDs, we found a solid agreement between the calculated and measured results.

description: The paper describes the development of a mathematical model for the motion of a seed mixture particle in the aspiration channel of the separator after the particle passes the cone-shaped spreader and enters the workspace of the aspiration channel in the pneumatic dynamics and vibration unit devised by the authors. The unique feature of the proposed new design is the presence of the central pipe with sail members in the aspiration channel. The sail members in the air stream generate the self-oscillatory mode of motion of the central pipe, which results in the efficient separation of the grain seed mixture into the required fractions. On the basis of the prepared equivalent schematic model, the differential equations of the motion of a seed mixture particle in the process of aspiration separation have been generated. Basing on the results of the PC-assisted numerical modelling of the motion paths, on which the material particles (seeds) of the heavy and medium fractions travel, it has been established that they move on different courses, and the course of the heavy fraction seeds is such that, after they pass the cone-shaped spreader and advance further in the air stream through the space of the aspiration channel, they move closer to the pipe of the aspiration channel. Also, their velocities and accelerations are greater than the same kinematic parameters of the medium fraction seeds. The seeds of the light fraction move upwards under the action of the air stream and leave the aspiration separator at its top.

description: Facile, efficient, four-component domino reaction of dialkylphthalates, hydrazine hydrate, indole-3-carboxaldehydes, and malononitrile/ethyl cyanoacetate leads to the formation of 1-(1H-indol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo [1,2-b] phthalazine-5,10-diones in the presence of InCl3 as catalyst in refluxing ethanol for 1 h in good yields. This four-component domino reaction transformation presumably proceeds via sequential addition, dehydration, condensation, and cyclization steps.
