description: In dieser Studie wird die Entwicklung verschiedener thermisch gespritzter Beschichtungen für den Einsatz im Armaturenbau diskutiert. Basierend auf etablierten Verschleißschutzschichten der Armaturenindustrie wurden verschiedene Festschmierstoffe in diese Beschichtungen integriert, um das Verschleiß‐ und Reibungsverhalten bei anwendungsnahen Belastungen für Armaturen zu verbessern. Für die Anwendungen wurden Verschleißschutzschichten auf Basis von WC/CoCr und Cr₃C₂/NiCr entwickelt. Als Festschmierstoffe wurden nickelumhülltes Graphit und hexagonales Bornitrid untersucht. Die Verfahrensvarianten Hochgeschwindigkeitsflammspritzen mit Sauerstoff (HVOF) und das neuartige Ultrahochgeschwindigkeitsflammspritzen (UHVOF) wurden untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass durch eine passende Beschichtungszusammensetzung eine Reduktion des Verschleißes von 53 % und der Reibung von 31 % unter anwendungsnahen Belastungen möglich ist.

description: With the start of Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron a host of new physics opportunities are opened. In this paper we will review the prospects for physics at the CDF and \Dzero experiments. Topics ranging from QCD, to electro-weak precision measurements, to top-quark physics, to searches for the Higgs boson and signals of physics beyond the Standard Model will be discussed. B-Physics at the Tevatron is covered in a separate contribution to these proceedings. We will outline how upgrades to the accelerator and the detectors make these studies possible with precisions higher than ever achieved previously and will show results from the first data collected in Run II. These results give us confidence in our ability to achieve ambitious physics goals, and point the way toward a bright future for the Tevatron.

description: We show how observations of gravitational waves from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers over the next few years can be combined with insights from nuclear physics to obtain useful constraints on the equation of state (EoS) of dense matter, in particular, constraining the neutron-matter EoS to within 20% between one and two times the nuclear saturation density $n_0\approx 0.16\ {\text{fm}^{-3}}$. Using Fisher information methods, we combine observational constraints from simulated BNS merger events drawn from various population models with independent measurements of the neutron star radii expected from x-ray astronomy (the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations in particular) to directly constrain nuclear physics parameters. To parameterize the nuclear EoS, we use a different approach, expanding from pure nuclear matter rather than from symmetric nuclear matter to make use of recent quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations. This method eschews the need to invoke the so-called parabolic approximation to extrapolate from symmetric nuclear matter, allowing us to directly constrain the neutron-matter EoS. Using a principal component analysis, we identify the combination of parameters most tightly constrained by observational data. We discuss sensitivity to various effects such as different component masses through population-model sensitivity, phase transitions in the core EoS, and large deviations from the central parameter values.

A free-form image combiner embedded inside the prescription lens provides augmented images onto the vision-corrected real world. We establish a prescription-embedded AR display optical design method as well as the customization method for individual users. Our design can cover myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, and allows the eye-contact interaction with privacy protection. A 169$g$ dynamic prototype showed a 40$^\circ$ $\times$ 20 $^\circ$ virtual image with a 23 cpd resolution at center field and 6 mm $\times$ 4 mm eye box, with the vision-correction and varifocal (0.5-3$m$) capability.

Wave propagation in stenotic vessels; theoretical analysis and comparison between 3D and 1D fluid-structure-interaction models

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: Using analytical expressions for the pressure and velocity waveforms in tapered vessels, we construct a linear 1D model for wave propagation in stenotic vessels in the frequency domain. We demonstrate that using only two parameters to approximate the exact geometry of the constriction (length and degree of stenosis), we can construct a model that can be solved analytically and can approximate with excellent accuracy the response of the original vessel for a wide range of physiologically relevant frequencies. We then proceed to compare the 1D results with full 3D FSI results from the literature for parameters corresponding to an idealized stenotic carotid artery. We find excellent matching with the volume flow rate over the cardiac cycle (less than $1\%$ error). Using results from DNS simulations to parametrize the velocity profile in the stenotic region, we manage to predict also the pressure distribution with small error (a few percentage points). The method proposed in the paper can be used to approximate vessels of arbitrary shape profile and can be extended to cover the whole cardiovascular tree. Recursive expressions make the solution very fast and open the possibility of carrying out sensitivity and uncertainty quantification studies that require thousands (or even millions) of simulations with minimal cost.

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain various bioactive molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, and play a key role in the regulation of cancer progression. Furthermore, cancer‐associated EVs carry specific biomarkers and can be used in liquid biopsy for cancer detection. However, it is still technically challenging and time consuming to detect or isolate cancer‐associated EVs from complex biofluids (e.g., blood). Here, a novel EV‐capture strategy based on dip‐pen nanolithography generated microarrays of supported lipid membranes is presented. These arrays carry specific antibodies recognizing EV‐ and cancer‐specific surface biomarkers, enabling highly selective and efficient capture. Importantly, it is shown that the nucleic acid cargo of captured EVs is retained on the lipid array, providing the potential for downstream analysis. Finally, the feasibility of EV capture from patient sera is demonstrated. The demonstrated platform offers rapid capture, high specificity, and sensitivity, with only a small need in analyte volume and without additional purification steps. The platform is applied in context of cancer‐associated EVs, but it can easily be adapted to other diagnostic EV targets by use of corresponding antibodies.

Determination of a correlation between applied voltage and fractal dimension of an electrodeposited aggregate formed by DLA-based clustering
Creators: name: Enns, John
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The accumulation of solid copper in a 2-dimensional electrolytic cell can be modeled by diffusion limited aggregation of particles undergoing Brownian motion. The resulting aggregate forms an approximate fractal shape. It is hypothesized that the fractal dimension of such aggregates will correspond positively with the voltage applied to the cell. Measurement of the fractal dimension of aggregates formed at voltages of 8 V, 12 V and 16 V are made through use of the box-counting technique, showing statistically significant mean dimensions of 1.28 ± 0.04, 1.51 ± 0.01 and 1.65 ± 0.02 respectively. A conclusion is made supporting the hypothesis.
Between Tribute and Transformation: Negotiating the Expressive and Ethical Dynamics of Experimental Afro-Brazilian Song

description: This article discusses the experimental transformation of Afro-Brazilian musical heritage and its implications in the broader African diaspora. As a case study, I examine Juçara Marçal and Cadu Tenório’s 2015 album Anganga, which features reinterpretations of traditional Afro- Brazilian songs within an experimental instrumental texture. I argue that the album allows the artists to negotiate the boundaries of the traditional and experimental spheres in ways that afford distinct expressive possibilities but also raise potential ethical issues. Drawing from “Afrological” narratives of historical consciousness in musical experimentalism, the article proposes a framework for understanding this encounter that challenges Brazilian creative discourses regarding musical mixture.

description: Almkvist proved that for a commutative ring A the characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism α:P \to P of a finitely generated projective A-module determines (P,α) up to extensions. For a non-commutative ring A the generalized characteristic polynomial of an endomophism α: P \to P of a finitely generated projective A-module is defined to be the Whitehead torsion [1-xα] \in K_1(A[[x]]), which is an equivalence class of formal power series with constant coefficient 1. In this paper an example is given of a non-commutative ring A and an endomorphism α:P \to P for which the generalized characteristic polynomial does not determine (P,α) up to extensions. The phenomenon is traced back to the non-injectivity of the natural map Σ^{-1}A[x] \to A[[x]], where Σ^{-1}A[x] is the Cohn localization of A[x] inverting the set Σof matrices in A[x] sent to an invertible matrix by A[x] \to A; x \mapsto 0.

The problems existing in the marketing channel of agricultural products in China as follows, first, the cost is high; second, the technological content is low; third, the upstream main body lacks competitiveness; fourth, the structure of investment is irrational. Corresponding countermeasures are put forward to develop marketing channels of agricultural products as follows: perfect the service function of wholesale market of agricultural products; propel the construction of integration and expansion of wholesale market; develop the circulation cooperatives of agricultural products; develop the integrated organization of production and sales of agricultural products.
Science Denial Across the Political Divide: Liberals and Conservatives Are Similarly Motivated to Deny Attitude-Inconsistent Science

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: © The Author(s) 2017. We tested whether conservatives and liberals are similarly or differentially likely to deny scientific claims that conflict with their preferred conclusions. Participants were randomly assigned to read about a study with correct results that were either consistent or inconsistent with their attitude about one of several issues (e.g., carbon emissions). Participants were asked to interpret numerical results and decide what the study concluded. After being informed of the correct interpretation, participants rated how much they agreed with, found knowledgeable, and trusted the researchers’ correct interpretation. Both liberals and conservatives engaged in motivated interpretation of study results and denied the correct interpretation of those results when that interpretation conflicted with their attitudes. Our study suggests that the same motivational processes underlie differences in the political priorities of those on the left and the right.

description: Surrogacy, a globally researched topic, often side lines the voices of surrogate mothers, primarily from developing countries and is often viewed through a Western lens. Grounded in social constructionism, this study delved into Indian surrogate mothers' experiences via narrative inquiry. 24 surrogate mothers in the state of Karnataka, India, were selected through purposive sampling, to capture a varied range of narratives, allowing the participants to express their distinctive experiences of surrogacy. Using Fraser's seven phases of narrative inquiry, the findings unveiled the complexities and nuances of these experiences for the surrogates. It further highlighted their sense of agency and empowerment while acknowledging the struggles (such as experiences of obstetric violence) within the socio-cultural and political context domestically. It also questioned the overarching systemic issues created by the fertility industry and what it implied for developing countries offering fertility services. This research contributes to the existing literature on surrogacy and offers insights that will inform policy and practice to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of Indian surrogate mothers. It emphasises the need for hearing and acknowledging surrogate mothers' voices in shaping future policies and ethical frameworks surrounding surrogacy.

description: Given an artistic portrait, recovering the latent photorealistic face that preserves the subject's identity is challenging because the facial details are often distorted or fully lost in artistic portraits. We develop an Identity-preserving Face Recovery from Portraits (IFRP) method that utilizes a Style Removal network (SRN) and a Discriminative Network (DN). Our SRN, composed of an autoencoder with residual block-embedded skip connections, is designed to transfer feature maps of stylized images to the feature maps of the corresponding photorealistic faces. Owing to the Spatial Transformer Network (STN), SRN automatically compensates for misalignments of stylized portraits to output aligned realistic face images. To ensure the identity preservation, we promote the recovered and ground truth faces to share similar visual features via a distance measure which compares features of recovered and ground truth faces extracted from a pre-trained FaceNet network. DN has multiple convolutional and fully-connected layers, and its role is to enforce recovered faces to be similar to authentic faces. Thus, we can recover high-quality photorealistic faces from unaligned portraits while preserving the identity of the face in an image. By conducting extensive evaluations on a large-scale synthesized dataset and a hand-drawn sketch dataset, we demonstrate that our method achieves superior face recovery and attains state-of-the-art results. In addition, our method can recover photorealistic faces from unseen stylized portraits, artistic paintings, and hand-drawn sketches.

description: The study had three main objectives. (1) To investigate the perceived impact of power-assist devices (PADs) on manual wheelchair (MWC) user mobility. (2) To compare perceptions about different types of PADs. (3) To identify preferred features and design characteristics of PADs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with community-dwelling MWC users aged 31 years and older, with at least 2.5 years of experience using an MWC independently (n = 16). Data were thematically analysed using an inductive approach. Two main themes related to participants’ perceptions about the effects of PAD use were identified: (1) “Expanding my world”, which illustrated the perceived benefits of using PADs (e.g., gaining a sense of autonomy and access to new environments, maintaining physical health) and (2) “Falling short”, which described challenges with PADs (e.g., safety, reliability and portability issues). Participants also identified strengths and limitations of different types of PADs that were mainly related to specific user–device and device–environment interactions as well as various functional characteristics. Moreover, participants outlined their priorities for future PAD design, including improving controllability, customizability and affordability of these devices. Participants’ perceptions about PADs varied across different types of devices and in different contexts. However, PADs were generally perceived as enhancing the capabilities of MWCs. Our findings provide insight into the factors that can be considered when selecting a PAD and can inform the development of future PADs that are better equipped to overcome challenges that MWC users frequently encounter.Implications for RehabilitationPower-assist devices (PADs) for manual wheelchairs (MWCs) have the potential to improve the mobility, community participation and well-being of users.Some of the existing PADs have safety and reliability issues that affect their performance and limit their use by MWC users.The three types of PADs (front-mounted attachments, rear-mounted attachments, powered wheels) offer different types of assistance that can benefit users with various capabilities.

description: On the basis of presenting the terminology and classification of Rural Microfinance, this paper introduces the present situation of China's rural microfinance development and analyses the factors that hinder the highly efficient and sustainable development of rural microfinance in current China. These factors include the operational risk, the financial resource and the sustainability of development, the regulation issues, and the issue of financial supporting services. This paper also makes several suggestions concerning policy making: the government should vigorously promote innovations in systems and mechanisms as well as products, constantly improve financial supporting services, and put more emphasis on supervision and control, as well as policy support.

 Distribution in North Carolina: All regions of North Carolina. Counties: BN, CB, CT, CA, CR, DU, HE, HO, IR, JA, LI, MA, ME, MI, OR, PM, RW, TR, UN and WK.
Distribution in surrounding states includes Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains (Cole 1940; possibly doubtful) and Virginia (Francoeur 1974).
 The occurrence of this species in North Carolina is doubtful. Based on the distributions in Francoeur (1973), North Carolina records of F. fusca are probably misidentifications of F. subsericea.
 Pseudomyrmex brunneus in Carter (1962b) is doubtful for North Carolina as this species is distributed in Central America (Ward 1985). This probably represents a misidentification of P. ejectus.

description: Inadequate rural financial services and low service efficiency lead to the situation that a large sum of money flows from rural areas to urban areas through commercial banks. The situation goes against the development of rural production and causes the extreme lack of rural capital, the difficulties in loaning and the prevalence of usurious loan In view of the problems existed in rural financial system, the rural financial developmental trend. rural gross production .rural financial scale and rural financial efficiency from 1983 to 2008 are empirically analyzed by using the Pagano model in endogenous growth theory. the research assumes that, rural financial scale has positive relation with rural economic output, that is to say, the expansion of rural financial scale can facilitate the development of rural economy; the rural financial efficiency has negative relation with rural economic development. In Chinese rural areas, the economic development still relies on the expansion of rural finance. However, at the same time of increasing the financial scale, the efficiency of rural finance is deceasing gradually. Thus, the support of rural finance on rural economic growth lies at the low level. Therefore, in view of the basic prerequisite of rural economic development, two solutions are adopted and Japanese and Korea experience are used. The measures are as follows. First, conducting organization innovation through promoting new village construction and gathering dispersed farmers to form rural cooperative organization to reduce transaction cost. Second, transforming financial support from exogeneity to endogeneity and market-oriented rural finance to effectively solve the efficiency of rural finance.

description: Based on the theoretical exploration of electronic structures, we propose that the ordered double perovskites LaAVRuO$_6$ and LaVO$_3$/ARuO$_3$ (001) superlattice (A = Ca, Sr and Ba) are strong candidates for half-metallic (HM) antiferromagnets (AFMs). %LaAVRuO$_6$ and LaVO$_3$/ARuO$_3$ have the %100% spin polarizations at the Fermi level but with zero %total magnetic moments. We have shown that the HM-AFM nature in LaAVRuO$_6$ is very robust regardless of (i) divalent ion replacement at A-sites, (ii) oxygen site relaxation, (iii) the inclusion of the Coulomb correlation, and (iv) cation disorder. A type of the double exchange interaction is expected to be responsible for the half-metallicity and the antiferromagnetism in these systems.

description: Faulty access control in API-based multi-service setups can lead to violations of consent declarations through unauthorized Third Parties. This threatens Service Providers to lose the trust of their Service Consumers and to be exposed to sensitive fines as defined by the GDPR.Addressing this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel, blockchain-based approach for enabling economically motivated and technically mediated detection of violations of consent declarations in multi-service setups and derive its legal viability from a thorough analysis of the GDPR. The herein introduced Violation Detection mechanism allows for a censorship-resistant and publicly verifiable detection of violations to registered Consent Policies based on off-chain computed violation claims utilizing non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs. The corresponding System Design specifies all required roles and artifacts to integrate the Violation Detection mechanism with standard procedures for consent-based access control. The integration of our system supports Service Providers to fulfill legal requirements and, therefore, paves the way towards automated policy violation detection within GDPR-compliant consent-based access control solutions.

description: In order to get the primary energy of cosmic rays from their extensive air showers using the fluorescence detection technique, the invisible energy should be added to the measured calorimetric energy. The invisible energy is the energy carried away by particles that do not deposit all their energy in the atmosphere. It has traditionally been calculated using Monte Carlo simulations that are dependent on the assumed primary particle mass and on model predictions for neutrino and muon production. In this work the invisible energy is obtained directly from events detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The method applied is based on the correlation of the measurements of the muon number at the ground with the invisible energy of the showers. By using it, the systematic uncertainties related to the unknown mass composition and to the high energy hadronic interaction models are significantly reduced, improving in this way the estimation of the energy scale of the Observatory.
