description: Coherent population transfer between nuclear states using x-ray laser pulses is studied. The laser pulses drive two nuclear transitions between three nuclear states in a setup reminding of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage used for atomic coherent population transfer. To compensate for the lack of $γ$-ray laser sources, we envisage accelerated nuclei interacting with two copropagating or crossed x-ray laser pulses. The parameter regime for nuclear coherent population transfer using fully coherent light generated by future X-Ray Free-Electron Laser facilities and moderate or strong acceleration of nuclei is determined. We find that the most promising case requires laser intensities of $10^{17}$-$10^{19}$ W/cm$^{2}$ for complete nuclear population transfer. As relevant application, the controlled pumping or release of energy stored in long-lived nuclear states is discussed.

description: Information quality plays a crucial role in every application that integrates data from autonomous sources. However, information quality is hard to measure and complex to consider for the tasks of information integration, even if the integrating sources cooperate. We present a systematic and formal approach to the measurement of information quality and the combination of such measurements for information integration. Our approach is based on a value model that incorporates both extensional value (coverage) and intensional value (density) of information. For both aspects we provide merge functions for adequately scoring integrated results. Also, we combine the two criteria to an overall completeness criterion that formalizes the intuitive notion of completeness of query results. This completeness measure is a valuable tool to assess source size and to predict result sizes of queries in integrated information systems. We propose this measure as an important step towards the usage of information quality for source selection, query planning, query optimization, and quality feedback to users.

description: We calculate the nonequilibrium dynamic evolution of a one-dimensional system of two-component fermionic atoms after a strong local quench by using a time-dependent spin-density-functional theory. The interaction quench is also considered to see its influence on the spin-charge separation. It is shown that the charge velocity is larger than the spin velocity for the system of on-site repulsive interaction (Luttinger liquid), and vise versa for the system of on-site attractive interaction (Luther-Emery liquid). We find that both the interaction quench and polarization suppress the spin-charge separation.

description: Background. Little is known about rates of incident pregnancy among HIV-positive women initiating highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods. We conducted a retrospective clinical cohort study among therapy-naïve women ages 18-45 initiating HAART between 1 April 2004 and 30 September 2009 at an adult HAART clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. We used Poisson regression to characterize rates and rate ratios of pregnancy. Results. We evaluated 5,996 women who experienced 727 pregnancies during 14,095 person-years at risk. The overall rate of pregnancy was 5.2 per 100 person-years (95% confidence limits [CL] 4.8, 5.5). By six years, cumulative incidence of first pregnancy was 22.9% (95% CL 20.6%, 25.4%); among women ages 18-25 at HAART initiation, cumulative incidence was 52.2% (95% CL 35.0%, 71.8%). The strongest predictor of incidence of pregnancy was age, with women 18-25 having 13.2 times the rate of pregnancy of women ages 40-45 in adjusted analysis. CD4 counts below 100 and worse adherence to HAART were associated with lower rates of incident pregnancy. Conclusions. Women experience high rates of incident pregnancy after HAART initiation. Understanding which women are most likely to experience pregnancy will help planning and future efforts to understand the implications of pregnancy for response to HAART.

description: We present spectrally resolved observations of triatomic carbon (C3) in several ro-vibrational transitions between the vibrational ground state and the low-energy nu2 bending mode at frequencies between 1654-1897 GHz along the sight-lines to the submillimeter continuum sources W31C and W49N, using Herschel's HIFI instrument. We detect C3 in absorption arising from the warm envelope surrounding the hot core, as indicated by the velocity peak position and shape of the line profile. The sensitivity does not allow to detect C3 absorption due to diffuse foreground clouds. From the column densities of the rotational levels in the vibrational ground state probed by the absorption we derive a rotation temperature (T_rot) of ~50--70 K, which is a good measure of the kinetic temperature of the absorbing gas, as radiative transitions within the vibrational ground state are forbidden. It is also in good agreement with the dust temperatures for W31C and W49N. Applying the partition function correction based on the derived T_rot, we get column densities N(C3) ~7-9x10^{14} cm^{-2} and abundance x(C3)~10^{-8} with respect to H2. For W31C, using a radiative transfer model including far-infrared pumping by the dust continuum and a temperature gradient within the source along the line of sight we find that a model with x(C3)=10^{-8}, T_kin=30-50 K, N(C3)=1.5 10^{15} cm^{-2} fits the observations reasonably well and provides parameters in very good agreement with the simple excitation analysis.

The characteristics of medication administration incidents involving Bachelor of Science in Nursing students during clinical practice education
Creators: name: Ellis, Kaitlin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Registered nurses (RNs) provide medications to patients when they are unable to provide these medications to themselves such as when they are unwell or incapable. RNs are responsible for ensuring that the medication administered are appropriate for the patient’s situation and also that the right medication is provided to the right patient, at the right dose, via the right route, at the right time, and for the right reason, as well as documented using the appropriate methods. This process can be disrupted and a medication administration incident (MAI) may occur. When an MAI occurs, RNs are responsible to identify, resolve and report the error. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students learn to administer medications through clinical practice education and during this process can be involved in MAIs. The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of MAIs involving BSN students over three academic years. Understanding the characteristics of MAIs that students are involved in will help educational and healthcare organizations develop systems to mitigate the potential for these MAIs to occur. I conducted a cross-sectional retrospective case study of reported MAIs involving BSN students over three academic years. I reviewed aspects of type of MAIs, contributing factors and documented responses of students and nurse educators. Students reported 88 MAIs during this period. Incorrect dose, administration technique and incidents of omission were the most frequently reported MAI involving student nurses. Individual factors, stressful environments and communication challenges were reported most frequently as contributing to MAI occurrence. Students document actions taken immediately following discover of MAI and to a lesser extent in the long-term. Through the MAI reports, nursing educators document responses which include debriefing, evaluation of professionalism, following-up with leadership and clarifying details of the MAI reported by the student. Students involved with MAIs can identify, report and document MAI, contributing factors and responses to these incidents. Supporting a shift away from individual blame and evaluation creates a culture of safety within education. Creating multi-incident reviews that inform policy and curriculum can allow the MAI reports to have a positive impact on nursing education and healthcare in general.

description: LA PSYCHOLOGIE DE L’ADOLESCENT 1. QU’EST-CE QUE L’ADOLESCENCE ? Selon le dictionnaire Hachette, l'adolescence correspond à « l'âge compris entre la puberté et l'âge adulte ». Il s"agit d"une période de la vie qui s"échelonne généralement de 11-12 à 17-18 ans. L"adolescence serait donc la période de l"épanouissement de l"enfant qui se transforme en un adulte, afin qu"il devienne acteur responsable de son parcours personnel et civique. L"adolescence est une période captivante ; l"enfant qui a peur deviendra l"adulte qui ose (Zazzo, 1972). L"adolescence est une période créatrice, ne serait-ce que dans le domaine des sentiments ; l"affectivité étant plus intérieure, plus intense, plus passionnée. Etant un moment privilégié de l’éveil affectif, l"adolescence est aussi une confrontation avec la société. L"adolescent sorti du cocon familial jette un nouveau regard sur le monde. Dans les cultures occidentales, l'adolescence est devenue phénomène de société. C'est un état à la fois enfantin et sérieux, et elle se rapporte à cette période de la vie qui est à la fois une construction identitaire sur une identité déjà construite.

description: We find for each simple finitary Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ a category $\mathbb{T}_\mathfrak{g}$ of integrable modules in which the tensor product of copies of the natural and conatural modules are injective. The objects in $\mathbb{T}_\mathfrak{g}$ can be defined as the finite length absolute weight modules, where by absolute weight module we mean a module which is a weight module for every splitting Cartan subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. The category $\mathbb{T}_\mathfrak{g}$ is Koszul in the sense that it is antiequivalent to the category of locally unitary finite-dimensional modules over a certain direct limit of finite-dimensional Koszul algebras. We describe these finite-dimensional algebras explicitly. We also prove an equivalence of the categories $\mathbb{T}_{o(\infty)}$ and $\mathbb{T}_{sp(\infty)}$ corresponding respectively to the orthogonal and symplectic finitary Lie algebras $o(\infty)$, $sp(\infty)$.

description: Il presente lavoro di ricerca mira a investigare una variabile organizzativa dell’apprendimento cooperativo tra pari reciproco, ovvero la formazione degli allievi per svolgere il ruolo del tutor. Per farlo è stato deciso di creare una metodologia ibrida, associando a questa prima una seconda forma d’istruzione: la classe capovolta. Un gruppo (CL, n=21) ha ricevuto una modalità d’istruzione più “tradizionale” durante la lezione, mentre un secondo gruppo (CL+FL, n=21) ha svolto la fase di formazione teorica a distanza tramite l’impiego dell’uso della tecnologia. Sono stati quindi comparati gli effetti sulla qualità dell’apprendimento, ovvero sulle abilità motorie e sulla soddisfazione dei bisogni emotivi, sociali e motivazionali degli allievi nell’ambito dell’educazione fisica, in funzione della modalità d’istruzione dei tutor. Per investigare i miglioramenti delle abilità motorie è stato impiegata la registrazione, mentre per la soddisfazione dei bisogni psicologici di base, della motivazione intrinseca e del supporto da parte del tutor degli allievi sono stati impiegati i questionari e le interviste semi-strutturate. I risultati mostrano come a parità di apprendimento motorio, tramite la classe capovolta gli allievi percepiscono un maggiore supporto del compagno tutor e si sentono più in chiaro sugli aspetti tecnici a cui devono ambire. Inoltre, si può notare come la classe capovolta, se paragonata ad una metodologia più frontale, offra diverse caratteristiche innovative. Relatore: Giacomo Crivelli.

description: Background: As stavudine remains an important and widely prescribed drug in resource-limited settings, the effect of a reduced dose of stavudine (from 40 mg to 30 mg) on outcomes of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) remains an important public health question. Methods. We analyzed prospectively collected data from the Themba Lethu Clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. We assessed the relationship between stavudine dose and six- and/or 12-month outcomes of stavudine substitution, failure to suppress viral load to below 400 copies/ml, development of peripheral neuropathy, lipoatrophy and hyperlactatemia/lactic acidosis. Since individuals with a baseline weight of less than 60 kg were expected to have received the same dose of stavudine throughout the study period, analysis was restricted to individuals who weighed 60 kg or more at baseline. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Between 1 April 2004 and 30 September 2009, 3910 patients were initiated on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with a recorded stavudine dose and were included in the analysis. Of these, 2445 (62.5%) received a 40 mg stavudine dose while 1565 (37.5%) received 30 mg. In multivariate analysis, patients receiving a 40 mg dose were more likely to discontinue stavudine use (adjusted odds ratio, OR 1.71; 95% confidence limits, CI 1.13-2.57) than those receiving 30 mg by 12 months on ART. Additionally, patients receiving 40 mg doses of stavudine were more likely to report peripheral neuropathy (OR 3.12; 95% CI 1.86-5.25), lipoatrophy (OR 11.8; 95% CI 3.2-43.8) and hyperlactatemia/lactic acidosis (OR 8.37; 95% CI 3.83-18.29) in the same time period. Failure to suppress HIV viral load within 12 months of HAART initiation was somewhat more common among those given 40 mg doses (OR 1.62; 95% CI 0.88, 2.97) although this result lacked precision. Sensitivity analyses accounting for death and loss to follow up generally supported these estimates. Conclusions: Lower stavudine dosage is associated with fewer reports of several stavudine-associated adverse events and also a lower risk of stavudine discontinuation within the first year on ART.

description: Nella seguente tesi di master viene illustrato un percorso didattico teatrale, proposto ad una classe di seconda media, che si conclude con l’allestimento della rappresentazione teatrale di alcuni episodi tratti dall’Odissea di Omero. Tale itinerario, che è stato scandito da diverse e progressive fasi di lavoro, oltre a coinvolgere in vari momenti i quattro ambiti di competenza della disciplina italiano, ha fatto scoprire agli alunni un’opera letteraria senza tempo e ha soprattutto permesso loro di esprimersi attraverso un linguaggio diverso: quello teatrale. Questo lavoro di ricerca, di tipo qualitativo, ha avuto come scopo d’indagine quello di valutare in che modo un percorso del genere possa concorrere all’incremento dello sviluppo personale, considerando tutti gli ambiti di questa competenza trasversale. La raccolta dei dati è stata affidata da un lato all’osservazione della classe da parte della docente e dall’altro a due questionari a domande aperte, consegnati agli alunni in due differenti momenti del percorso. I risultati ottenuti hanno mostrato che proporre un’esperienza di questo genere ad una classe di scuola media non solo è in grado di coinvolgere ed appassionare gli allievi, ma favorisce anche l’incremento di vari aspetti legati al loro sviluppo personale.

description: To each three-component link in the 3-sphere, we associate a geometrically natural characteristic map from the 3-torus to the 2-sphere, and show that the pairwise linking numbers and Milnor triple linking number that classify the link up to link homotopy correspond to the Pontryagin invariants that classify its characteristic map up to homotopy. This can be viewed as a natural extension of the familiar fact that the linking number of a two-component link in 3-space is the degree of its associated Gauss map from the 2-torus to the 2-sphere. When the pairwise linking numbers are all zero, we give an integral formula for the triple linking number analogous to the Gauss integral for the pairwise linking numbers. The integrand in this formula is geometrically natural in the sense that it is invariant under orientation-preserving rigid motions of the 3-sphere, while the integral itself can be viewed as the helicity of a related vector field on the 3-torus.

description: We study the limiting behavior of large-amplitude standing waves on deep water using high-resolution numerical simulations in double and quadruple precision. While periodic traveling waves approach Stokes's sharply crested extreme wave in an asymptotically self-similar manner, we find that standing waves behave differently. Instead of sharpening to a corner or cusp as previously conjectured, the crest tip develops a variety of oscillatory structures. This causes the bifurcation curve that parametrizes these waves to fragment into disjoint branches corresponding to the different oscillation patterns that occur. In many cases, a vertical jet of fluid pushes these structures upward, leading to wave profiles commonly seen in wave tank experiments. Thus, we observe a rich array of dynamic behavior at small length scales in a regime previously thought to be self-similar.

BCG-induced nonspecific protection from neonatal sepsis
Creators: name: Brook, Byron Norman Frazer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Bacterial sepsis remains the leading cause of infectious deaths in newborns. Our understanding of the neonatal immune system, and what controls the decision between survival and death remains rudimentary, despite decades of effort. Bacille-Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination, a century-old tuberculosis prevention, also reduced neonatal all-cause mortality by 40% within 3 days of administration in clinical studies. This protection was termed BCG’s nonspecific effects (NSE), or heterologous immunity. The scale and speed of this beneficial NSE was deemed biologically improbable, and potentially due to artifacts of trial design. It was also argued that proof-of-mechanism was required to have confidence in BCG NSE, which I specifically address in my thesis. A neonatal murine sepsis model was modified for increased standardization and reproducible study of both the neonatal response to sepsis and the exploration of BCG’s NSE mechanism. I hypothesized that survival from bacterial sepsis could be mediated through either an antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory response, or through both. I observed neonatal weight change, and designed novel health scoring for righting reflex and mobility that was used to accurately predict survival through mathematical modelling. Predicted survival significantly associated with lower systemic bacterial burdens, implicating neonatal antimicrobial responses with improved survival. This was further supported by differing disease kinetics between bacterial- and endotoxin-induced sepsis. As in human newborns, BCG vaccination of neonatal mice reduced the risk of death from bacterial sepsis by 40% within 3 days of vaccination. Neonatal and juvenile mice had increased survival and lower bacterial burden with BCG vaccination, while a delay of challenge by one week, or adult vaccination, was not protective. This indicated fast-acting but transient and age-dependent antimicrobial protection. I identified that BCG-induced mature neutrophil expansion was necessary and sufficient for protection. The molecular mechanism of rapid neutrophil expansion involved emergency granulopoiesis, with sequential G-CSF cytokine production, CEBP-β gene transcription, granulocyte macrophage progenitor cell expansion, immature neutrophil expansion, and mature neutrophil expansion. BCG’s ability to reduce neonatal bacteria-induced septic death by 40% in a rigorously controlled experimental setup, plus the insight into underlying mechanistic events, provide direct evidence to support BCG’s NSE and the ability to reduce neonatal mortality.

description: In this paper we present a multicolor photometry for A2589 ($z=0.0414$) with 15 intermediate bands in the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) system which covers an optical wavelength range from 3000 Å to 10000 Å. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for more than 5000 sources are achieved down to {\it V} $\sim$ 20 mag in about 1 deg$^{2}$ field. A2589 has been also covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in photometric mode only. A cross-identification of the BATC-detected galaxies with the SDSS photometric catalog achieves 1199 galaxies brighter than $i=19.5$ mag, among which 68 member galaxies with known spectroscopic redshifts are found. After combining the SDSS five-band photometric data and the BATC SEDs, the technique of photometric redshift is applied to these galaxies for selecting faint member galaxies. The color-magnitude relation is taken as a further restriction of early-type cluster galaxies. As a result, 106 galaxies are newly selected as member galaxies. Spatial distribution of member galaxies shows a north-south elongation which agrees with the X-ray brightness profile and the orientation of central cD galaxy, NGC 7647. No substructures are detected on the basis of positions and radial velocities of cluster galaxies, indicating that A2589 is a well-relaxed system. The luminosity function of A2589 exhibits a peak at $M_{R} \sim -20$ mag and a dip at $M_{R} \sim -19 $ mag. The low-density outer regions are the preferred habitat of faint galaxies. With the evolutionary population synthesis model, PEGASE, the environmental effect on the star formation properties for 68 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies is studied. The outlier faint galaxies tend to have longer time scales of star formation, shorter mean stellar ages, and lower metallicities of interstellar medium, which can be interpreted in the context of hierarchical cosmological scenario.

I gesti della musica: visualizzare l'invisibile per scoprire le forme della musica sinfonica

description: Nei minuti che precedono un concerto c’è ben poco di musicale. Il teatro pare gremito di pubblico ma ancora file di persone scorrono fra di loro: chi alla ricerca del proprio posto, chi saluta un vecchio amico, chi già fa previsioni sull’esecuzione. Anche sul palco regna lo stesso clima. Alcuni strumentisti si intonano, altri si riscaldano e al pubblico giunge solamente una gran confusione di rumori e suoni, stridii e note scoordinate. Ma appena il direttore compare sulla scena, la confusione sfocia in applauso unanime che lo accompagna fin sul podio. Qui il maestro s’inchina verso il pubblico per poi voltarsi verso l’orchestra. Il direttore alza le braccia e con un solo gesto richiama a sé orchestra e musica, dando il via al concerto. Crea la musica, quel gesto. La mia tesi non ha la pretesa di spiegare in modo esaustivo il ruolo del direttore d’orchestra; anzi, sarà chiaro fin dall’inizio che non si potrà nemmeno comprenderlo fino in fondo. L’obiettivo cui si tende è piuttosto quello di far comprendere al pubblico l’importanza del gesto direttoriale, mostrandone visivamente il segno, esatto punto d’incontro tra direttore e orchestra, tra pubblico e ascolto. Svolgendo due ricerche parallele, una nell’ambito della comunicazione visiva – indagando lo stato dell’arte – e l’altra dal punto di vista musicale – servendomi anche di interviste a direttori d’orchestra –, mi sono resa conto che la curiosità del pubblico verso il gesto direttoriale è ampia ma spesso i progetti di comunicazione visiva al riguardo si riducono a sperimentazioni fini a se stesse. Proprio per questo motivo ho scelto di progettare un prodotto specifico per questo tema: un cofanetto – previsto in una collana – è una soluzione adatta a un pubblico di collezionisti come gli appassionati di classica. Il cofanetto enfatizza l’identità gestuale e narrativo-musicale di uno specifico brano sinfonico in tre modi diversi ma complementari: un opuscolo cartaceo racconta in versi il brano mostrando il corrispondente segno creato dal gesto, un opuscolo di acetati permette di vedere il disegno completo del brano e un’animazione digitale mostra il segno evolversi con la traccia audio. Tramite suggestioni e stimoli, l’appassionato non avrà risposte esaustive ma potrà scoprire egli stesso un nuovo aspetto dell’esecuzione sinfonica, altrimenti invisibile e irraggiungibile.

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: This report first documents the development of a comprehensive database of green recovery packages globally, using data from reputational well-established sources, including the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Global Recovery Observatory, and the Energy Policy Tracker, and covering 105 countries representing more than 90% of global GDP, with green recovery funds totaling about 2.4 trillion USD and including 2109 unique policies and measures. Subsequently, using said database, this report also documents the analysis of the energy system and emissions impact of green recovery packages across energy supply and demand sectors, using three Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs): PROMETHEUS, GCAM, and TIAM. Utilising data gathered from the developed green recovery packages database, which is described in this report, four scenarios were developed to examine the impacts of green recovery funding at a global scale as well as with an additional focus on three major emitters (China, Europe, and India) under different policy contexts. The findings emphasise the positive role of green recovery packages in facilitating the transition to a low-carbon economy. However, it also underscores that, while these packages support innovation and specific national contexts, additional and robust climate policies are imperative to bridge the substantial investment gap for a net-zero transition and achieve the Paris Agreement goals effectively. Finally, this deliverable includes a national deep dive of green recovery spending in Greece.

description: The (D+1)-dimensional $(β,β')$-two-parameter Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra introduced by Quesne and Tkachuk [C. Quesne and V. M. Tkachuk, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf {39}, 10909 (2006).], leads to a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position (minimal length). The Klein-Gordon equation in a (3+1)-dimensional space-time described by Quesne-Tkachuk Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra is studied in the case where $β'=2β$ up to first order over deformation parameter $β$. It is shown that the modified Klein-Gordon equation which contains fourth-order derivative of the wave function describes two massive particles with different masses. We have shown that physically acceptable mass states can only exist for $β

description: SETTING: A large human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) clinic in South Africa. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) on CD4 and viral response at different time periods during anti-tuberculosis treatment (<14 days, 15-60 days, or ≥60 days) using prospectively collected clinical data. METHODS: Cohort data analysis for 1499 patients with tuberculosis (TB) and HIV co-infection classified according to timing of ART after the initiation of antit uberculosis treatment. RESULTS: In adjusted modified Poisson regression models, CD4 and viral responses showed no significant differences according to timing of ART initiation (failure to increase CD4 by 6 months, <14 days vs. >60 days: RR 1.02, 95%CI 0.85-1.22; 15-60 days vs. >60 days: RR 1.00, 95%CI 0.86-1.15; failure to suppress virus by 6 months, <14 days vs. >60 days: RR 0.98, 95%CI 0.59-1.63; 15-60 days vs. >60 days: RR 0.96, 95%CI 0.66-1.41 and viral rebound at 12 months, 14 days vs. >60 days: RR 1.43, 95%CI 0.50- 4.12; 15-60 days vs. >60 days: RR 1.14, 95%CI 0.39-3.34). Similar estimates were found in analysis restricted to patients with severe immunosuppression. CONCLUSION: Concerns over the overlapping impact of anti-tuberculosis treatment with ART on ART response should not be a reason for delaying ART in patients with HIV-associated TB.

Fluoride removal from brine with ion exchange resin
Creators: name: Shin, Eunseo

description: The presence of fluoride has caused a number of complications in various industrial applications. In the sodium sulfate salt splitting technology developed by NORAM Engineering and Constructors, the undesirable fluoride ions in brine solution could cause the breakdown of the protective passivation layer on the titanium anode, resulting in pit corrosion or spalling of the coating on the dimensionally stable anode (DSA). Conventionally, adsorbents such as activated alumina (AA), coagulation including calcium fluoride precipitation method, ion-exchange (IX), solvent extraction (SX), and reverse osmosis (RO) have been used to remove fluoride from solution. Of all the options, CaF2 precipitation method is the most commonly used to remove fluoride from solution. However, along with its slow nucleation, CaF₂ has a theoretical solubility limit of 8 ppm F- at stoichiometric concentration of calcium in wastewater [1]. Therefore, a different approach for a robust fluoride removal system is required. In this work, aluminum or zirconium was pre-loaded onto LANXESS Lewatit Monoplus TP 260 amino phosphonic acid functional group cation chelating resin. These resins were then used to selectively load fluoride from Na₂SO₄ brine solution. Preliminary batch isotherm studies revealed that aluminum can be readily loaded onto this resin type; however, the zirconium loading capacity was poor due to the solubility limit of zirconium where low pH inhibits an effective loading process. Subsequently, fluoride batch isotherm studies revealed that the maximum fluoride loading capacity of Al pre-loaded and Zr pre-loaded resin were 1.30 mol/kg Al-resin and 0.70 mol/kg Zr-resin from 12 wt.% Na2SO4 brine, respectively. However, in the column loading trials, an increase in fluoride loading capacity was recorded with Zr pre-loaded resin as the cycles of loading and regeneration continued. Most notably, Zr pre-loaded resin provided minimal metal leakage (Zr) during the sorption process while reducing the fluoride concentration below 0.5 mg/L throughout all the loading cycles.

description: Subterahertz radiation emitted from a variety of short rectangular-, square-, and disk-shaped mesas of intrinsic Josephson junctions fabricated from a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d single crystal was studied from the observed I-V characteristics, far-infrared spectra, and spatial radiation patterns. In all cases, the radiation frequency satisfies the conditions both for the ac Josephson effect and for a mesa cavity resonance mode. The integer higher harmonics observed in all spectra imply that the ac Josephson effect plays the dominant role in the novel dual-source radiation mechanism.

description: In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, we studied the contributions of the new particles to the top-quark pair production via $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision at the International Linear Collider. We calculated the top-quark pair production cross section and found this process can generate significantly relative correction. The result may be a sensitive probe of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity.
Musik zur Zeit der Salier

description: Musik spielt in modernen Inszenierungen des Mittelalterseine eine bedeutende Rolle. Ob Spielfilm oder Dokumentation: Sie untermalt Handlung, erzeugt Spannungsbögen und weckt Emotionen bei den Rezipienten, die auf diese Weise in die Welt des Mittelalters mitgenommen werden. Eng verknüpft mit Darstellungen von Geschichte sind Fragen nach deren „Realismus“ und „Authentizität“, denn in aller Regel wird etwas als „authentisch“ Wahrgenommenes auch als qualitativ höherwertig eingeschätzt. So verwundert der hohe Anspruch, das Mittelalter auch „mittelalterlich“ klingen zu lassen, nicht.[1] In diesem Kontext ist zu fragen, was wir über die Musik des Mittelalters eigentlich wissen und worauf Regisseure für ihre Inszenierung zurückgreifen können. Als exemplarisches Beispiel soll hier das Frühmittelalter dienen.

description: Das Mittelalter ist in der populärkulturellen Inszenierung wieder sehr präsent und spricht alle Sinne an: Filme, Serien und Dokumentationen werden gesehen, Bücher gelesen, Musik gehört und auf Jahrmärkten, die in einem historisch-mittelalterlichen Setting spielen, können sogar mittelalterliche Speisen gekostet werden. In allen diesen Medien spielt die Sprache eine wichtige, aber ambivalente Rolle. Auf der einen Seite soll Sprache das mittelalterliche „Flair“ genauso inszenieren wie es Bilder oder Musik tun. Auf der anderen Seite sollen die Rezipienten die Filme und Bücher natürlich auch verstehen. Die praktische Umsetzung dieser „mittelalterlichen“ Sprache zeigt sich meist dadurch, dass sie mit unserer heutigen Sprache immer noch einwandfrei zu verstehen ist, dabei aber ge-zielt Begriffe wie „Hochmut“ und „Klugheit“ für den „authentischen Zuschnitt“ verwendet werden. In diesem Kontext stellt sich rasch die Frage, wie realistisch solche Darstellungen sein können. Wie „realitätsnah“ ist diese Sprache und woher wissen wir das?

description: We show that vacuum induced coherence in three level atomic systems can lead to preservation of bi-partite entanglement, when two such atoms are prepared as two initially entangled qubits each independently interacting with their respective vacuum reservoirs. We explicitly calculate the time evolution of concurrence for two different Bell states and show that a large amount of entanglement can survive in the long time limit. The amount of entanglement left among the two qubits depends strongly on the ratio of the non- orthogonal transitions in each qubit and can be more than 50%
