Analytical Models for the Thrust of a Rotating Detonation Engine

Subjects: detonation, propulsion, RDE

description: Two models are proposed for rotating detonation engine performance.  The first model is motivated by models of pulse detonation engine performance which are based on the pressure-time history within the detonation tube.  The present work extends those ideas to treat rotating detonation engines with a control volume analysis that considers the forces within the combustion chamber.   The key  scaling parameters for this model are the  height of the reactant layer just ahead of the detonation wave and the computed Chapman-Jouguet pressure and velocity.  The  thrust can be estimated using these parameters and a simple functional form of the pressure history on the injector surface.   The second model is based on the approximation of mean axial flow and uses a conventional control volume analysis that focuses on exit conditions to evaluate thrust.  The axial flow speed and thrust are evaluated based on approximating the flow following the detonation as isentropic and considering a two-dimensional expansion that converts azimuthal motion into purely axial flow.  Numerical and analytic evaluation of these models demonstrates that predicted thrust and specific impulse exhibit the same scaling relationships with mixture properties as pulse detonation engines.

Shielding Theory of Enclosures with Apertures
Creators: name: Mendez, Horacio Augusto
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1973
Subjects: Electrical Engineering

description: Present methods for computing the shielding efficiency of metallic plates with apertures are based on the analysis of a plane wave incident on an infinite conducting sheet. When applied to actual enclosures with internal radiation sources, these methods lose all validity, and obviously fail to predict the measured results. Semi-empirical formulas are available for special cases, but no serious analytic investigation has ever been conducted.
This dissertation develops the theory of electromaqnetic radiation from metallic enclosures with apertures, excited by an internal source at frequencies below the fundamental resonance of the enclosure.
The enclosure with an aperture is analyzed from two different points of view: as a cavity with a small aperture in a wall; and as a waveguide section short-circuited at one end and open at the other end.
Rectangular geometries are used throughout, since these are by far the most commonly encountered in practical enclosures and cabinets.
Using the corresponding dyadic Green's functions, the fields generated inside the enclosure by some simple sources are determined. In addition to the case of a Hertzian dipole - the building block for more complicated sources - a center-fed dipole and a square loop antenna are analyzed. The fields radiated through small apertures in a cavity are determined using Bethe's theory of diffraction by small holes. The radiation from an open waveguide is calculated with the help of field equivalence theorems, with assumptions applicable to the case of evanescent waves.
The final step is to derive expressions for the "Insertion Loss" of the shield, defined as the ratio of the field strength at a point external to the shield, before and after the insertion of the enclosure. To accomplish this, the effect of the shield upon the input impedance of the antenna is analyzed, and expressions obtained for the applicable cases.
The resulting insertion loss expressions are numerically evaluated for some representative cases, and graphically compared with a series of measurements performed to obtain experimental confirmation. Very good agreement is obtained in all cases, establishing the validity of the analysis.
Thus, this work provides accurate prediction capabilities for the design of shielded enclosures with apertures, in the presence of internal or external noise sources (the latter is a consequence of applying the reciprocity theorem). Hence, it constitutes a useful tool in the solution of electromagnetic interference and susceptibility problems.

title: In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Investigation of All Solid-state Sodium Batteries
Creators: name: Ding, Ziming
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: All solid-state batteries (ASSBs) utilizing metal anodes such as lithium and sodium hold great promise for achieving high energy and power density, surpassing the safety limitations associated with liquid-electrolyte counterparts. However, the development of commercially viable ASSBs operating at room temperature remains limited. This is primarily due to the sluggish kinetics and solid-solid interfacial issues that impede the performance of batteries. Among the various interfacial challenges, the growth of dendritic structures leading to cell failure is a persistent problem that cannot be mitigated solely by the initially anticipated high elastic modulus of solid electrolytes (SEs) for ASSBs. Despite significant progress in understanding the filamentary growth mechanism in lithium metal based ASSBs using inorganic SEs, the understanding of sodium ASSBs remains far from complete.
To gain insights into the microstructural influences on sodium filament growth and Na+ ion transport, polycrystalline Na-β′′-alumina SE was employed as a model material due to its outstanding stability with Na metal. In this work, in situ biasing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements were conducted to realize the cathodic sodium deposition at the interface between the Na-β′′-alumina and the electrode, as well as grain boundaries (GBs) within Na-β′′-alumina TEM lamellas. Based on orientation analysis and composition distribution, the layered crystal structure induces anisotropic Na+ ion transport under the electric field, significantly facilitating the blockade of Na+ ion transport at some GBs and consequently influencing the position of Na filament growth. Furthermore, the microstructural evolution of the Au interlayer, which is believed to protect against dendrite growth, was explored during the inhomogeneous sodium deposition using the same in situ biasing TEM setup. Notably, while Na-Au alloy particle forms by cathodic sodium deposition, Na-Au interdiffusion occurs at the interface, rather than solely sodium diffusion along the Au interlayer. Sodium diffusion along the Au interlayer leads to alloy formation, while the diffusion of Au towards the sodium deposition site may result in the redistribution of the Au interlayer. Additionally, the Au interlayer exhibits distinct behavior under different conditions, e.g. different bias voltages and layer morphology including the Au interlayer thickness and gap between Au particles. 
In addition to investigating interfacial issues in sodium metal based ASSBs, the study on the influence of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and focused ion beam (FIB) processing on the SEs was conducted to ensure the reliable preparation of TEM samples for in situ TEM measurements. The irradiation damage mechanism and the corresponding solution were understood during this investigation.

K Leptonic Decay and Partially-Conserved Currents
Creators: name: Zweig, George
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1963
Subjects: California Institute of Technology Synchrotron Laboratory

description: An operational definition for the partial conservation of the
strangeness changing vector current is given and applied to leptonic K^+ and K_2^0 decay. The K* resonance is explicitly included in the calculation and quantitative agreement with experiment is obtained. A detailed comparison with the K^+ data of Brown et. al. and Dobbs et. al. is given. Because of rapid variations of a form factor, it is found that the data of these two groups are not in contradiction. From the K_2^0 experiment of Luers et al., I = 1/2 and 3/2 currents are seen to exist. Λβ-decay is briefly considered. It is found that an explanation for the slowness of K leptonic decay and the vector part of Λβ decay may be connected with the partial conservation of the strangeness changing vector current.

Subjects: California Institute of Technology Synchrotron Laboratory

description: In this note we present an analysis of the leptonic decay modes of the K-meson in terms of a four-parameter representation of the two form factors F1(q^2) and F3(q^2) which describe the matrix element of the vector current of the weak interactions, < π |Vα| K >. Such a representation, while general enough to take account of the violation of the ΔΙ = 1/2 rule and the possible existence of two resonances in the K-π system, no longer permits unique predictions for the ratio of the electron to muon decay rate, or of the pion spectrum. We therefore suggest that experiments be carried out to determine the four unknown parameters, and theoretical attention be turned to relating these parameters to measurable quantities occurring in related processes.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1962
Subjects: California Institute of Technology Synchrotron Laboratory

description: A general description is given of a data recording system which provides a link between counter experiments in high-energy physics and a high-speed digital computer. The instrument described can accept as many as 25 simultaneous photomultiplier tube signals and pulse height analyze them into 100 channels each. Six bits of digital data may be substituted for any unused pulse height input. The usual output is perforated paper tape with a binary coded decimal format for use with a Burroughs 220 computer. Identification words can be set up and recorded on the tape. The speed of the paper tape perforator limits the rate of analysis to one event per second. If the output data is fed directly into a computer memory, then the recording rate can be increased to 60 events per second. The instrument has been in operation since December 1961, and results obtained with it using both particles produced by the Caltech Synchrotron and pulsers are given. Only solid state components have been used, including nearly 1700 transistors and an equal number of diodes.

It would be nearly impossible to specifically acknowledge all the persons connected with the production of this instrument. The aid of Professor Matthew Sands in supplying over-all supervision of the project is gratefully appreciated. The cooperation of Ransom Research in solving the various technical and administrative difficulties involved was invaluable. Specifically, Mr. David Ransom, Sr., General Manager of Ransom Research and Vice-President of Wyle Laboratories, was most tolerant of the difficulties arising from a joint development project between an industrial concern and a university. Mr. Norman Grannis, of Ransom Research, was responsible for the design and operation of the Temporary Storage, Data Multiplexer, and the associated parts of the Control.

Mr. Arpad Barna, then of Ransom Systems and now with the University of Chicago, supervised the construction of the Parallel to Serial Converter and the Analog to Digital Converter and designed the parts of the Control essential to their operation.
title: How, if at all, has remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic changed experienced teachers’ perceptions of their identity as an educator in England?
Creators: name: Hughes, Haili
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: A secure professional identity is a vital component in keeping a teacher motivated in their career. Not only does it mediate their understanding of their role and reinforces their purpose, but it also enables them to make sense of their work and wider relationships. An understanding of professional identity also has implications for teachers’ sense of autonomy and self-efficacy. Experienced teacher identity is much more secure as they have become acclimatised to the culture, ways of working and expectations that their role involves. Yet teacher identity is a fluid and dynamic concept, and changes in work context or role expectations can impact on how teachers see themselves and their work. During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the Department for Education closed schools to all except vulnerable students and key workers and teachers were asked to quickly adapt their teaching to online instruction. This rapid policy change, in the face of a global health emergency, had implications for teachers’ professional identities, particularly experienced teachers, who had to adjust their established ways of teaching and pedagogies to continue educating their students. This had profound effects on how teachers viewed their professional identities, which may have implications for teacher retention rates in the years ahead.

This research study ascertains the main characteristics of teacher professional identity through a review of the existing literature. Guided by Stephen Ball’s work on policy, it uses a thematic analysis to uncover the way in which the Covid-19 school closures may have shaped this identity. Through two focus groups of six experienced teachers who taught during the pandemic, the study evaluates the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic shaped teacher identity of schoolteachers in England. Findings suggest that teachers were affected in both negative and positive ways, with some teachers feeling isolated from both colleagues and students, finding that technology was no replacement for the relationships which cement their moral purpose as an educator. The teachers in the study also discussed the feelings of resentment they had experienced towards the government, which was reinforced with negative press coverage about teacher’s work, resulting in a trial by media which the general public also joined in with. For other teachers, despite the challenges they faced, their experiences reinvigorated their passion for teaching, making them feel proud of their work and excited by innovations to their pedagogy.

A Study of the Second-Difference Method for Radial Magnet Alignment

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: California Institute of Technology Synchrotron Laboratory

description: Preliminary estimates indicate that the cost of surveying the main ring of the proposed 300-BeV cascade synchrotron will be quite high, because of the large diameter (~ 1-1/2 miles) and small tolerances (~ 0.005 inch). Courant and Sands have suggested replacing conventional surveying techniques by a scheme in which the only measurements to be made are local, relating each magnet to its neighbors. In principle, these measurements would enable one to determine the magnet positions (to within an overall translation and/or rotation) much more simply than by conventional techniques. Furthermore,
the procedure of measurement and adjustment could be carried out completely automatically, if desired.

The principle difficulty with the method lies in the accumulation of errors from the large number of observations. In order to study this phenomenon, we have considered in some detail a model scheme of this type. In Section II we describe the scheme, in Section III we outline the solution in the absence of measurement errors, and in Section IV we consider the effect of such errors.

description: This report presents the Ghana case of the WIDER UPTAKE Project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme, which seeks to implement water-smart, circular economy solutions by producing biochar from wastewater sludge. As part of the Accra Case, biochar was produced as a renewable fuel alternative to wood-based charcoal, addressing Accra’s energy needs while promoting environmental sustainability. The report outlines the business model developed to support biochar distribution through the start-up distributor, targeting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Accra. Trial feedback from potential users has been positive, highlighting strong market readiness for biochar. The model also includes recommendations for scaling production, expanding distribution channels, and securing regulatory support to enhance biochar’s adoption. This case illustrates the potential of biochar to contribute to Ghana’s sustainable energy transition, reduce deforestation, and foster economic growth.

Houben and W. Proesmans leg.; humid moss from a small stream in a pine forest; XIV.2.38 and XIV.3.18; HU.
Description and discussion
Specimens are about 0.6 mm long. Habitus and internal organisation correspond to the description of Kolasa (1981b). However, the original description, based on one specimen, mentions a much smaller animal (0.3 mm) (see Kolasa 1981b). Small dermal rhabdites are present all over the body. Protonephridiopores (Fig. 4A: pp) are situated lateral to the pharynx (Fig. 4A–B: ph). The two small testes (Fig. 4A–B: t) are situated caudally from the pharynx, at 65–70% of the body.
Adenocerca minima clearly differs from all other representatives of Adenocerca by the orientation of the spines of its copulatory organ (see Fig. 4C–F). Small spines are present in the distal half of the cirrus and at the distal end, where 6 µm long, distally pointing, crescent-shaped spines form a crown (Fig. 4C: cs). Other species only possess small spines (A. clinopharynx Reisinger, 1924 and A. teshirogii) or have a different orientation of these spines, with the proximal spines being the biggest (A. bresslaui Reisinger, 1924).
Remarks
Kolasa (1981b) mentioned seven crown spines while we only counted six. Both Kolasa’s and our counts were made on a single specimen. Therefore, for the time being, we prefer to designate our specimens to the same species as Kolasa’s (1981b).
Previously known distribution
In wet mosses on the banks of the stream Fosso Contesora, Italy (Kolasa 1981b).

White-bellied Marsh Rice Rat
Oryzomys albiventer
French: Oryzomys a ventre blanc / German: WeilRbauch-Sumpfreisratte / Spanish: Rata arrocera de marisma de vientre blanco
Other common names: White Venter Rice Rat
Taxonomy. Oryzomys albiventer Merriam, 1901, Ameca, 1220 m, Jalisco, Mexico.
Oryzomys albiventer originally was described as a full species but subsequently considered a subspecies of O. couesi or O. palustris. Earlier name fulgens by O. Thomas in 1893, is of uncertain provenance but supposedly from the Valley of Mexico. It may apply to O. albiventer or to other upland rice rats from interior Mexico, but archival work is required to determine exact provenance offulgens. Monotypic.
Distribution. Apparently endemic to the Mesa de Anahuac in C & E Jalisco, S Guanajuato, and N Michoacan, Mexico.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 116-142 mm, tail 129-173 mm, hindfoot 33-40 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The White-bellied Marsh Rice Rat is characterized by large size, relatively and absolutely long tail, heavily constructed skull (occipito-nasal length ¢.31-34 mm), and robust molars (crown length of upper molar series ¢.4-5 mm). Compared with other species of Oryzomys, the White-bellied Marsh Rice Ratis brightly colored. Type description of “underparts white,” the basis for the specific epithet and common name, is misleading because basal portion of ventral hairs is pale gray and only distal portion is pure white; these white tips do not obscure basal gray and thus create underparts that appear pale gray to grayish white. Skull is large, with robust cheekteeth, broad zygomatic arches, long incisive foramina, and long nasal bones that extend distally beyond premaxillae. Karyotype is unknown.
Habitat. Deciduous tropical woodlands at elevations of 1200-1800 m.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Not assessed on The [UCN Red List. The White-bellied Marsh Rice Rat may be in risk of extinction because of its small distribution in the heavily populated region in central Mexico where habitat conversion to cropland has been extreme. Renewed survey work is required to assess distribution and local population status.

description: The theory The Peace Of Space Theory is about the Einstein's theory Of special relativity which he published in 1905. This theory tells about the limitations Of the "Theory of special relativity". _This theory tells if we imagine about a planet which is 179 trillion light years away from Earth and its active gravitational field by which it easily attract the objects is 4.8 *10^14 meter and its gravitational acceleration is 250 m/s^2. If we put these values in third equation of motion then we found that the Einstein's Theory of special relativity got failed.

Selective Detectors for High Energy Photons and Electrons

description: For fast identification of high-energy electrons and photons in heavy backgrounds, a counter was developed consisting of successive layers of lucite and lead. Čerenkov radiation emitted in the lucite slabs is collected onto the photocathode of one 5 inch phototube. The geometry as well as the thickness of inserted lead converters can be adapted to kinematical requirements.

At 1 BeV/c incoming momentum, the rejection ratio of e, γ showers vs. π or μ is better than 100:1; i.e., proper discrimination setting will allow rejection of 99% of all π's and μ's, while only 1% of e's and γ's will be lost. Protons make no pulses at all. The response over the face of the counter is uniform. The properties of the counter are checked in detail against the behavior of lead glass Čerenkov counters, and of lead scintillator sandwiches of comparable geometry. Many applications appear to favor this type of counter over others operating on conventional principles.
description: © 1964 California Institute of Technology.

We are indebted to R. L. Walker for providing the π and proton beams; to A. V. Tollestrup for his assistance in making suitable electronics available; and to both for interesting and useful discussions. Walter Nilsson skillfully assisted in building the counters. Elliott Bloom was helpful during the test runs.

Nicaraguan Marsh Rice Rat
Oryzomys dimidiatus
French: Oryzomys du Nicaragua / German: Nicaragua-Sumpfreisratte / Spanish: Rata arrocera de marisma de Nicaragua
Other common names: Nicaraguan Oryzomys, Nicaraguan Rice Rat, Thomas's Rice Rat
Taxonomy. Nectomys dimidiatus Thomas, 1905, “Escondido River, 7 miles [= 11 km] below Rama [South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region (previously part of Zelaya Department) |, Nicaragua.” This species is monotypic.
Distribution. Known only from two sites at and near type locality in SE Nicaragua.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 118-125 mm, tail 110-115 mm, ear 13-15 mm, hindfoot 26-28 mm; weight 46 g. The Nicaraguan Marsh Rice Rat is medium-sized, with gray-brown back, grizzled with black grading to buffy brown on sides; underparts are silvery gray and not strongly demarcated from upperparts. Fur is slightly glossy; ears are short, well-haired, and partially concealed in fur; snout is relatively short; tail is very faintly bicolored and slightly shorter than head-body length; feet are brownish above; and hindfeet have short fringes of stiff hairs on sides and no ungual tuft at bases of claws. It is said to resemble Coues’s Marsh Rice Rat (O. couesi) but differs from it most conspicuously in smaller external and cranial size, less robust dentition, darker (more black evident) dorsal color, grayish as opposed to bufty venter, and proportionally shorter tail, clearly shorter than head-body length. Karyotype is unknown.
Habitat. Known from only two specimens: one from banana plantation on very wet, red clay and one from a stand of dense cane, 2-4-3 m tall, adjoining a river.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Nicaraguan Marsh Rice Rat is probably semi-aquatic.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Nevertheless, the Nicaraguan Marsh Rice Rat apparently has a very small distribution, and lack of any details about local population numbers or even minimal aspects of habitat requirements challenge conservation assessment.

Figs 4 D, H, L; 18A–E.
Coloration as in J. decliva. Anterior margin of pronotum narrowly chocolate brown with median and lateral short extensions posteriorly. Forewing pale brown with paler venation, claval cells darker.
Male genitalia: Pygofer elongate, slightly narrowed caudally with dorsal margin uneven, with marginal sclerotization ending before caudal margin into broadened triangular lobe both dorsally and ventrally, dorso-caudal margin crenulate, caudal lobe rounded, ventral margin convex. Connective longer than wide, caudal margin trilobed. Aedeagus with poorly developed dorsal apodeme, shaft broad at base in lateral view narrowed slightly in distal half, strongly curved dorsally with crest on ventral margin before apex and with lateral flanges, apex of shaft with finger-like lateral processes on either side of apical gonopore; preatrium well developed with long spine-like process about 0.66 as long as shaft.
Measurements. Male 4.75 mm long, 1.45 mm wide across eyes.
Material examined. Holotype 3, Shaanxi, Zhouzhi, Zhongnanshan, 27.vi.1951. Paratypes: 23, data as for holotype (NWAU).
Distribution. China (Shaanxi).
Etymology. The species name alludes to the more sclerotized process on the dorsal margin of the male pygofer.
Remarks. J. sclerotica sp. nov. shares the subapical ridge on ventral margin and lateral flanges on the aedeagal shaft with J. decliva but differs in having a differently shaped pygofer and the well developed preatrium of the aedeagus with a process.
