description: This paper describes the energy flow in jerk-decoupled translatory feed axes. After an introductory survey on jerk-decoupled feed axes, a system simulation is presented. This system simulation includes a model of the mechanical parts, a model of a synchronous linear motor, and a model of the control circuits. Different energy flows can be simulated using an energy observer. The results are shown in the last section of this paper. With these results, an energy-optimal design of jerk-decoupled linear feed axes can be accomplished. © IMechE 2007.

description: We report the results of an X-ray proper motion measurement for the NW rim of SN1006, carried out by comparing Chandra observations from 2001 and 2012. The NW limb has predominantly thermal X-ray emission, and it is the only location in SN1006 with significant optical emission: a thin, Balmer-dominated filament. For most of the NW rim, the proper motion is about 0.30 arcsec/yr, essentially the same as has been measured from the H-alpha filament. Isolated regions of the NW limb are dominated by nonthermal emission, and here the proper motion is much higher, 0.49 arcsec/yr, close to the value measured in X-rays along the much brighter NE limb, where the X-rays are overwhelmingly nonthermal. At the 2.2 kpc distance to SN1006, the proper motions imply shock velocities of about 3000 km/s and 5000 km/s in the thermal and nonthermal regions, respectively. A lower velocity behind the H-alpha filament is consistent with the picture that SN1006 is encountering denser gas in the NW, as is also suggested by its overall morphology. In the thermally-dominated portion of the X-ray shell, we also see an offset in the radial profiles at different energies; the 0.5-0.6 keV peak dominated by O VII is closer to the shock front than that of the 0.8-3 keV emission--due to the longer times for heavier elements to reach ionization states where they produce strong X-ray emission.

description: Cholinesterase (ChE) enzymes have been identified as diagnostic markers for Alzheimer disease (AD). Substrate-based probes have been synthesised to detect ChEs but they have not detected changes in ChE distribution associated with AD pathology. Probes are typically screened using spectrophotometric methods with pure enzyme for specificity and kinetics. However, the biochemical properties of ChEs associated with AD pathology are altered. The present work was undertaken to determine whether the Karnovsky-Roots (KR) histochemical method could be used to evaluate probes at the site of pathology. Thirty thioesters and esters were synthesised and evaluated using enzyme kinetic and KR methods. Spectrophotometric methods demonstrated all thioesters were ChE substrates, yet only a few provided staining in the brain with the KR method. Esters were ChE substrates with interactions with brain ChEs. These results suggest that the KR method may provide an efficient means to screen compounds as probes for imaging AD-associated ChEs.

description: We present a scheme for laser cooling applicable for an extremely dilute sample of magnetically trapped antihydrogen atoms($\bar{H}$). Exploiting and controlling the dynamical coupling between the $\bar{H}$'s motional degrees of freedom in a magnetic trap, three-dimensional cooling can be achieved from Doppler cooling on one dimension using the $1s_{1/2}-2p_{3/2}$ transition. The lack of three-dimensional access to the trapped $\bar{H}$ and the nearly separable nature of the trapping potential leads to difficulties in cooling. Using realistic models for the spatial variation of the magnetic fields, we find that it should be possible to cool the $\bar{H}$'s to $\sim 20$ mK even with these constraints.

description: Currently, a significant amount of worldwide research is dedicated to manual or automated disassembly. This field of application has progressed remarkably over the past few years because industry has been forced to consider new technologies for processing electronic waste. This is due to changing environmental legislation, increasing amounts of obsolete appliances, decreasing landfill space and a growing public awareness of environmental problems. These considerations lead to growing research, development and implementation of manual and automated disassembly systems which are able to process a wide range of obsolete electronic appliances. The present paper investigates different prototypes of manual and automated disassembly cells at disassembly companies and research institutes. The approach, technology and architecture of these systems are described. Typical hardware components of flexible disassembly systems are then identified and explained. Furthermore, suggestions are made for modularization and standardization of these components, even if only at a very cursory level. © IMechE 2001.

description: This experimental animal study aimed at evaluating a new prosthesis to replace the ossicular chain; we developed a new technique for surgical implantation into the middle ear of rabbits. The rabbit middle ear is, owing to the relative anatomical dimensions involved, an ideal environment for implantation procedures involving the ossicles, as the surgical conditions are similar to those of the human middle ear. This study included a total of 34 approximately six-month-old female white rabbits (New Zealand) weighing between 3.2 and 4.4 kg. The implants used were constructed of ceramic materials (titania, TiO2) of various pore sizes. Directly prior to implanting the total ossicular reconstruction prostheses (TORPs), as well as at 28, 84 and 300 days after implantation, electric response audiometry was used to determine the hearing thresholds of the animals (bone conduction; click stimulus nHL). An erbium:YAG laser was used to excise the original ossicular chain. Following implantation, we were unable to detect any stenosis of the outer ear canal or perforation of the tympanic membrane. The conductive hearing threshold was in the range of 4.21 ± 6.68 dB nHL (n = 131). The hearing level showed no significant difference before and after surgery (P < 0.05).

description: We report the nature of transitions from nonsynchronous to complete synchronization (CS) state in arrays of time-delay systems, where the systems are coupled with instantaneous diffusive coupling. We demonstrate that the transition to CS occurs distinctly for different coupling configurations. In particular, for unidirectional coupling, locally (microscopically) synchronization transition occurs in a very narrow range of coupling strength but for a global one (macroscopically) it occurs sequentially in a broad range of coupling strength preceded by an intermittent synchronization. On the other hand, in the case of mutual coupling a very large value of coupling strength is required for local synchronization and, consequently, all the local subsystems synchronize immediately for the same value of the coupling strength and hence globally synchronization also occurs in a narrow range of the coupling strength. In the transition regime, we observe a new type of synchronization transition where long intervals of high quality synchronization which are interrupted at irregular times by intermittent chaotic bursts simultaneously in all the systems, which we designate as global intermittent synchronization (GIS). We also relate our synchronization transition results to the above specific types using unstable periodic orbit theory. The above studies are carried out in a well known piecewise linear time-delay system.

description: We investigate the cutoff effects in 2-d lattice O(N) models for a variety of lattice actions, and we identify a class of very simple actions for which the lattice artifacts are extremely small. One action agrees with the standard action, except that it constrains neighboring spins to a maximal relative angle delta. We fix delta by demanding that a particular value of the step scaling function agrees with its continuum result already on a rather coarse lattice. Remarkably, the cutoff effects of the entire step scaling function are then reduced to the per mille level. This also applies to the theta-vacuum effects of the step scaling function in the 2-d O(3) model. The cutoff effects of other physical observables including the renormalized coupling and the mass in the isotensor channel are also reduced drastically. Another choice, the mixed action, which combines the standard quadratic with an appropriately tuned large quartic term, also has extremely small cutoff effects. The size of cutoff effects is also investigated analytically in 1-d and at N = infinity in 2-d.

description: This report compares the performance of blended Micronaire mixes of cotton with that of natural mixes of the same average reading to determine the economic feasibility of using cottons "discounted" in price for high- or low-Micronaire readings. Cottons ranging from 3.2 to 5.2 in Micronaire were selected from the 1968-69 crop and spun into 40s carded yarn. Twenty- three mixes were spun--five natural Micronaire mixes and 18 blended. In addition to the test results, the report demonstrates a method of potential usefulness to commercial mills for determining appropriate price discounts for cottons of high- or low-Micronaire readings.

description: Der französische König hatte 1784 eine Kommission von namhaften Gelehrten beauftragt, die Hypothesen Mesmers zu überprüfen. Die Mitglieder der Kommission waren durchaus interessiert und offen für die neuen Ideen, und sie räumten auch ein, dass Mesmer zweifellos Erfolge aufzuweisen hatte. Im Verlauf ihrer Untersuchungen mussten sie feststellen, dass zwar ein bemerkenswerter Effekt vorhanden war, doch die dem Mesmerismus zu Grunde gelegten Auffassungen nicht haltbar waren. Im Bericht der Kommission zeigt sich die damalige Veränderung des naturwissenschaftlichen Denkens, ein Wechsel der zaghaft mit Galilei begann, der spätestens mit Newton die Mechanik grundlegend revolutionierte und der gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts zunehmend auch viele andere Fachgebiete betraf. Auf Basis dieser neuen Einstellung und in einer Reihe sauberer und modern wirkender Experimente konnte die Vorstellung des tierischen Magnetismus eindeutig verworfen werden. Bei abschließender Beurteilung der Heilerfolge verließ die Kommission jedoch diese ihre eigenen Prinzipien und kam zu einem vernichtenden Urteil, das ebenso wenig begründet war, wie zuvor die Thesen Mesmers.

description: A new electrochemical sensor is reported based on a modified platinum (Pt) electrode sequentially drop-casting doped with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (fMWCNTs) decorated by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs). The NiO/rGO/fMWCNTs nanohybrid was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). This sensor was employed for the simultaneous determination of catechol and hydroquinone. In the cyclic voltammetry (CV) results for a binary mixture of catechol and hydroquinone, the peak potentials of the two dihydroxybenzene isomers were separated by more than 105 mV, demonstrating the ability of the fabricated sensor to simultaneously determine the analytes. The NiO/rGO/fMWCNTs/Pt electrode exhibited a wide linear range of 10–300 μM with detection limits of 19.86 and 40.18 nM based upon a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 for catechol and hydroquinone, respectively. Furthermore, using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the sensor maintained well-defined peaks, demonstrating suitable selectivity. In addition, the NiO/rGO/fMWCNTs/Pt nanocomposite exhibits stability values of 92.3% and 91.6% for catechol and hydroquinone with excellent repeatability. The sensor analyzed water samples with spike recoveries from 90% to 106.66% for catechol and 88% to 98.66% for hydroquinone, respectively.

description: Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, was Kultur ist, wem sie nützt, wie sie die psychischen Funktionen des Menschen beeinflusst und welche Konsequenzen sie für die Psychotherapiewissenschaft PTW und das Unbewusste in der Psychotherapie birgt. Um die paradigmatische Bedeutung des Kulturbegriffs vor Augen zu führen, werden zunächst einige Kulturtransformationen analysiert, die sich über den Zeitraum der ›Vormoderne‹, ›Moderne‹ und ›Postmoderne‹ erstrecken. Anschließend formuliere ich ein funktionales Kontext-Modell der Kultur. Dabei erläutere ich die Bedeutung der Kultur auf die psychischen Funktionen des Menschen anhand von Ibn Khalduns Solidaritätsmodell und Piagets Stufenmodell, die ich mit einem Fallbeispiel verdeutliche. Kultur wird nach meinen Kontext-Modell verstanden als offen-funktionales und dynamisch-veränderbares Sinn- und Orientierungssystem. Diese Orientierung soll eine kontextuelle Hermeneutik der Kulturen ermöglichen und die Vielzahl von Kontexten und Sub-Kontexten berücksichtigen. Die anzuwendende Methode wird hermeneutisch offen, in gewaltfreier und multidisziplinärer Perspektive sein.

description: We provide a combinatorial presentation of the set F of 3-dimensional generic flows, namely the set of pairs (M,v) with M a compact oriented 3-manifold and v a nowhere-zero vector field on M having generic behaviour along the boundary of M, with M viewed up to diffeomorphism and v up to homotopy on M fixed on the boundary. To do so we introduce a certain class S of finite 2-dimensional polyhedra with extra combinatorial structures, and some moves on S, exhibiting a surjection f:S->F such that f(P0)=f(P1) if and only if P0 and P1 are related by the moves. To obtain this result we first consider the subset F0 of F consisting of flows having all orbits homeomorphic to closed segments or points, constructing a combinatorial counterpart S0 for F0 and then adapting it to F.

description: The analysis of dose-response relationships is a common problem in pre-clinical studies. For example, proportions such as mortality rates and histopathological findings are of particular interest in repeated toxicity studies. Commonly applied designs consist of an untreated control group and several, possibly unequally spaced, dosage groups. The Williams test can be formulated as a multiple contrast test and is a powerful option to evaluate such data. In this paper, we consider simultaneous inference for Williams-type multiple contrasts when the response variable is binomial and sample sizes are only moderate. Approximate simultaneous confidence limits can be constructed using the quantiles of a multivariate normal distribution taking the correlation into account. Alternatively, multiplicity-adjusted p-values can be calculated as well. A simulation study shows that a simple correction based on adding pseudo observations leads to acceptable performance for moderate sample sizes, such as 40 per group. In addition, the calculation of adjusted p-values and approximate power is presented. Finally, the proposed methods are applied to example data from two toxicological studies

description: Presentation at WOSSL Workshop on Open Source Software Lyfe-cycles. "The objective of this workshop is to bring together the scientists' communities of Astrophysics, Astroparticle Physics and Particle Physics who are leading the software development within their domain. Common and best practices in software development will be discussed and shared, enabling cross-fertilization across the domains. Those practices will then be taken into account in the upcoming ESCAPE school, training young scientists to build and maintain the expertise in the field." This presentation illustrates the OpenAIRE's perspective with regard to software publishing workflows in the scholarly communication domain, and how research infrastructures and clusters may integrate and benefit from it, in respect of community practices while, at the same time, contributing to the global scholarly communication eco-system

description: We discuss the non-perturbative effects on the annihilation cross section of an Electro-Weak Dark Matter (EWDM) particle belonging to an electroweak multiplet when the splittings between the masses of the DM component and the other charged or neutral component(s) of the multiplet are treated as free parameters. Our analysis shows that EWDM exhibits not only the usual Sommerfeld enhancement with resonance peaks but also dips where the cross section is suppressed. Moreover, we have shown that the non-perturbative effects become important even when the EWDM mass is below the TeV scale, provided that some of the mass splitting are reduced to the order of a few MeV. This extends the possibility of observing sizeable non-perturbative effects in the dark matter annihilation to values of the dark matter mass significantly smaller than previously considered, since only electroweak--induced mass splittings larger than 100 MeV have been discussed in the literature so far. We have then used the available experimental data on the cosmic antiproton flux to constrain the EWDM parameter space. In our calculation of the expected signal we have included the effect of the convolution of the cross section with the velocity distribution of the dark matter particles in the Galaxy, showing that it can alter the non--perturbative effects significantly. In the case of EWDM with non-zero hypercharge, we have shown that the mass splitting in the Dirac dark matter fermion can be chosen so that the inelastic cross section of the EWDM off nuclei is allowed by present direct detection constraints and at the same time is within the reach of future experiments.

description: We have explored the interplay of star formation and AGN activity in soft X-rays (0.5-2 keV) in two samples of Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2s). Using a combination of low resolution CCD spectra from Chandra and XMM-Newton, we modeled the soft emission of 34 Sy2s using power law and thermal models. For the 11 sources with high signal-to-noise Chandra imaging of the diffuse host galaxy emission, we estimate the luminosity due to star formation by removing the AGN, fitting the residual emission. The AGN and star formation contributions to the soft X-ray luminosity (i.e. L$_{x,AGN}$ and L$_{x,SF}$) for the remaining 24 Sy2s were estimated from the power law and thermal luminosities derived from spectral fitting. These luminosities were scaled based on a template derived from XSINGS analysis of normal star forming galaxies. To account for errors in the luminosities derived from spectral fitting and the spread in the scaling factor, we estimated L$_{x,AGN}$ and L$_{x,SF}$ from Monte Carlo simulations. These simulated luminosities agree with L$_{x,AGN}$ and L$_{x,SF}$ derived from Chandra imaging analysis within a 3σ confidence level. Using the infrared [NeII]12.8μm and [OIV]26μm lines as a proxy of star formation and AGN activity, respectively, we independently disentangle the contributions of these two processes to the total soft X-ray emission. This decomposition generally agrees with L$_{x,SF}$ and L$_{x,AGN}$ at the 3σ level. In the absence of resolvable nuclear emission, our decomposition method provides a reasonable estimate of emission due to star formation in galaxies hosting type 2 AGN.

description: The development of nonalcoholic functional beverages enriched with herbal bioactive compounds has great nutritional and economical interest. The aim of the study was to prepare a functional instant herbal powder (IHP) from dehydrated herbal cold infused blends, easily dissolved in cold water, providing a beverage with enhanced health benefits to consumers. Several aromatic plants’ cold infusions were evaluated, and a sideritis (Sideritis scardica), clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) blend was selected for IHP preparation, due to the high phenolic content and sensory superiority. Infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, carbohydrates and carotenoids while spectrophotometric assays confirmed antioxidant activity of the IHP. Shelf life testing was also performed on the IHP with storage at 25, 40 and 70 °C for five weeks, assessing total phenolic content, antioxidant and antiradical activity, color and microbiological status of samples. The IHP maintained consistently its antioxidant and antiradical activity, as well as its color and microbiological stability at 25 °C for the whole storage period. The degradation of IHP phenolics and its color attributes were significantly affected by temperature during storage. The potential of IHP to contribute to oral hygiene was evaluated through antimicrobial testing against oral microbiota.

description: Serum samples were collected from domestic horses in 4 different regions of Costa Rica to detect antibodies against vesicular stomatitis viruses, serotypes New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and Indiana (VSV-IN). A total of 214 samples were tested by the virus neutralization test. The sampling regions were identified as low North Pacific dry area (1), low Middle Atlantic humid area (2), low South Pacific humid area (3), and the highlands (4). In region 1, 97.1% of horses were positive for VSV-NJ and 16.5% were positive for VSV-IN. The mean antibody titer and its standard deviation after logarithmic transformation were 5.86 ± 0.9 for VSV-NJ and 3.55 ± 1.66 for VSV-IN for region 1. In region 2, 40.1% of horses were positive for VSV-NJ and 32.2% were positive for VSV-IN. The mean antibody titer in region 2 was 4.33 ± 1.82 for VSV-NJ and 3.47 ± 1.73 for VSV-IN. In region 3, 20.79% of horses were positive for VSV-NJ and 27.6% were positive for VSV-IN. The mean antibody titer in region 3 was 4.39 ± 1.89 for VSV-NJ and 3.47 ± 1.82 for VSV-IN. In region 4, 91.3% of horses were positive for VSV-NJ and 73.9% were positive for VSV-IN. The mean antibody titer in region 4 was 5.77 ± 1.10 for VSV-NJ and 4.85 ± 1.63 for VSV-IN. This is the first published report of the detection of virus-neutralizing antibodies against VSV-NJ and VSV-IN in horses in Costa Rica.

description: Advances in astronomy are often enabled by adoption of new technology. In some instances this is where the technology has been invented specifically for astronomy, but more usually it is adopted from another scientific or industrial area of application. The adoption of new technology typically occurs via one of two processes. The more usual is incremental progress by a series of small improvements, but occasionally this process is disruptive, where a new technology completely replaces an older one. One of the activities of the OPTICON Key Technology Network over the past few years has been a technology forecasting exercise. Here we report on a recent event which focused on the more radical, potentially disruptive technologies for ground-based, optical and infrared astronomy.

description: In an experimental study, we evaluated acoustic immittance in rabbits in order to use these data as normative values for further experimental investigations. This study is the first experimental evaluation of both conventional 226 Hz and multifrequency tympanometry (MFT) in rabbits. For the investigation, we used 33 female New Zealand rabbits weighing 3.2 - 4.4 kg and aged six months. Bilateral measurements using conventional 226 Hz and MFT were performed under general anaesthetic. A 226 Hz tympanogram was recorded for all animals by conducting an air pressure sweep from +200 to -400 daPa at a rate of 50 daPa/s. Subsequent tympanograms were recorded over a wide frequency range from 250 to 2000 Hz. The acoustic impedance device used in this study provided reproducible and evaluable tympanograms. The applied tone frequency of 226 Hz proved to be especially suitable for determining compliance. Normative data obtained from our study reveal the resonance frequency to be 1368±205 standard deviation (SD) for the right side and 1413±216 SD for the left side. The values for physiological acoustic immittance of the middle ear in the rabbit obtained here can serve as normative data in subsequent experimental animal studies. © Laboratory Animals Ltd.
