title: Capacity Improvement of a Small-Scale Cryogenic System Using Exergy Analysis
Creators: name: Yuksek, Errol L.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
Year: 2009

description: There is a demand for reliable and cost-effective small-scale helium liquefiers and refrigerators with higher capacity and efficiency in universities, government, and industry. Among the most common of these small-scale cryogenic systems is the Linde model 1600 helium liquefier and refrigerator.

The goal of this study is to increase the capacity of the model 1600. To achieve this goal, this study focuses on reducing the irreversibilities of the model 1600's fin-tube heat exchangers (FTHXs). Modification of fin-tube passes is the most practical means by which to reduce FTHX irreversibilities. Expressions relating FTHX geometry to FTHX irreversibilities identify model 1600 heat exchangers which benefit from pass modifications. A process model of the model 1600 is developed and baselines are established by matching it to known operating conditions. With each FTHX modification, the process model is optimized to achieve higher capacity.

In its application, the optimization method developed in this study results in improvements to the overall capacity and efficiency of the model 1600. Capacity is shown to increase by 31.43 percent for liquefaction mode and 12.44 percent for refrigeration mode. The percent of Carnot efficiency is shown to increase by 24.35 percent for liquefaction mode and 7 .76 percent for refrigeration mode.
title: The Genealogy of Infant Formula Tariff-rate Quotas

description: This EBOT is one of a series addressing production, regulation, and trade of infant formula. FDA-mandated
and voluntary recalls of infant formula and an FDA-mandated plant closure in February 2022 contributed
to infant formula supply shortages (See U.S. Infant Formula Shortage and Supply and Trade Dynamics).
Media reports criticized U.S. tariff-rate quotas(TRQs) and other non-tariff trade barriers(e.g., FDA labeling
requirements), as having contributed to the shortage. TRQs on dairy-based products, including infant
formula, have deep roots based on early development of infant formulas and Section 22 of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1933, and were implemented long before there were specific duty classifications for
infant formula or U.S. free trade agreements. This EBOT describes how TRQs came to cover infant formula.

description: © 2020, Kohat University of Science and Technology. Traffic flow on roads has increased manifolds from past few decades due to increase in number of vehicles and rise in population. With fixed road infrastructure and more vehicles on traffic routes lead to traffic congestion conditions especially in urban areas of developing nations. Traffic jams are normal in major cities which ultimately cause delay in travel time, more fuel consumption and more pollution. This manuscript propose a Multi-metric road guidance mechanism (MRGM) which considers multiple metrics to analyze the traffic congestion conditions and based on the conditions effective optimal routes are suggested to the vehicles. The Simulation of the proposed mechanism is performed with the SUMO by using the python script and the results show that proposed mechanism i.e. MRGM outperforms other mechanism in terms of traffic efficiency, travel time, fuel consumption and pollution levels in the smart vehicular network.

description: Präsentation zur Vorlesung "Sprache und Religion"

Den Zusammenhang von Sprache und Religion als Ideenlehre nimmt die „Religionslinguistik“ in den Blick. Sie versteht religiöse Kommunikation als einen Prozess, der die Beziehung einer Gemeinschaft zur Transzendenz gestaltet, stabilisiert und erfahrbar macht. Um diese Beziehung analysieren zu können, wird eine Kommunikationstypologie (für monotheistische Glaubenspraktiken) genutzt, die drei zentrale Handlungsformen umfasst: Verkündigung, Verehrung und Vergegenwärtigung. Verkündigung bezieht sich auf die Verbreitung der Glaubenslehre und die Vermittlung von Glaubensinhalten — Verehrung ist die Antwort darauf. Sie dient der Stabilisierung der durch die Verkündigung ausgelösten Wahrnehmung von Paradoxien, die im Glauben auftreten können. Die Vergegenwärtigung zielt darauf ab, die in der Glaubenslehre verkündete Transzendenz im Hier und Jetzt erfahrbar zu machen. Religiöse Sprache ist vor diesem Hintergrund eine funktionale Varietät, die sich durch spezifische Gegenstände, Methoden und Kommunikationsformen auszeichnet. In der Vorlesung werden Möglichkeiten und Begrenzungen des Mediums Sprache in diesem spezifischen Sinne im Vordergrund stehen.

The Tai Ahom sound system as reflected by the texts recorded in the bark manuscripts

Publisher: name: La Trobe

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: © 2020, University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved. Tai Ahom (Southwestern Tai) mostly survives in manuscripts. (Terwiel 1988; Morey 2015). It has long been held that Ahom retained many archaic features lost in most modern Tai languages. For example, Li (1977: 87-89) reconstructs the cluster *phr-as evidence from Ahom in words like phra ‘rock’ and phrai ‘walk’. However, Diller (1992), argues that Ahom exhibited the “pan-Tai consonant mergers of the sort in which the sounds of the “low series consonants presumably fell together with certain of the others” and hence is not archaic. In order to uncover the true nature of Ahom, this paper investigates how each of Ahom graph relates to the reconstructed phonemes in Proto-Southwestern Tai (Li 1977; Pittayaporn 2009). Our analysis was based on eight carefully analyzed manuscripts, identified allographic variations, suggesting mergers and retentions of Tai phonemic contrasts are common among the modern Shan varieties and the lack of archaic features claimed by earlier authors.

Where Does Value Lie in Peer Support? An Exploratory Discussion of the Theories and Methods Underpinning Effective Research in Peer Support

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: © The Author(s) 2020. A literature review was undertaken in 2019 to review research into the effectiveness of peer support in chronic disease self-management. As with an earlier literature review, we found the results disappointing due to poor reporting and poor research design. Lack of information on training of peer supporters, unrealistically short timeframes to produce changes in health behaviors, and lack of any theoretical underpinning of the research design contributed to rating randomized controlled trials as poor to medium quality evidence. At the same time, systematic reviews consider peer support as effective, arguing that improved research design and evaluation would demonstrate this. This article discusses the need to examine more closely the contribution of peer support to chronic disease care as well as considering how research methods might more closely reflect that contribution and provide better evidence of the value of peer support to both participants and the health system.
Nanoparticles in Photocatalysis: Innovations Driving Sustainable Dye Degradation in Wastewater Treatment
Creators: name: North American Academic Research
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The rapid industrialization and growing reliance on synthetic dyes have caused a notable rise in water contamination, posing severe threats to aquatic habitats as well as human health. Photocatalysis, an advanced oxidation process, has emerged as a promising and eco-friendly strategy for the treatment of wastewater, particularly for degradation due to persistent dye pollutants. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have further enhanced the efficiency of photocatalytic processes, with nanoparticles playing a pivotal role because of their huge surface area, distinct physicochemical characteristics, and exceptional catalytic activity. This review comprehensively explores the innovations in photocatalysis driven by nanoparticles, with an emphasis on using nanoparticles that have been greenly produced. These nanoparticles, derived from plant extracts or other environmentally benign methods, offer a sustainable substitute for traditional synthesis methods by lowering the environmental effect and using less hazardous chemicals. The paper delves into the synthesis routes, characterization techniques, and mechanistic insights into dye degradation using green nanoparticles as photocatalysts. This review provides a useful tool for practitioners and scholars looking to develop innovative and eco-friendly strategies for dye degradation and water purification.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The Feel4Diabetes program was comprised of a community-based screening and a two-year intervention phase aiming to prevent type 2 diabetes (T2D) in families at risk for diabetes across Europe. The current work aimed to identify the socio-demographic characteristics and body weight perceptions of participants who benefitted the most, achieving at least a 5% reduction in body weight, waist circumference and glycaemic indices (fasting plasma glucose, insulin, glycosylated haemoglobin levels), over two-year period. Following a two-stage screening procedure, 2294 high-risk parents were randomly allocated to standard care or more intensive intervention. The participants who benefitted most were living in Southern (OR 2.39–3.67, p < 0.001) and Eastern Europe (OR 1.55–2.47, p < 0.05), received more intensive intervention (OR 1.53–1.90, p = 0.002) and were younger (<40 years old) adults (OR 1.48–1.51, p < 0.05). Furthermore, individuals with tertiary education (OR 2.06, p < 0.001), who were unemployed (OR 1.62–1.68, p < 0.05) and perceived their body weight to be higher than normal (OR 1.58–3.00, p < 0.05) were more likely to benefit from the program. Lastly, males were more likely to show improvements in their glycaemic profiles compared to females (OR 1.40, p = 0.024). These findings point out the regions in Europe and the sociodemographic profile of individuals that benefitted the most in the current study, highlighting the need to prioritise regions in greater need for such interventions and also tailor future interventions to the characteristics and perceptions of the target populations.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. In this study, we demonstrate the use of parallel plate far field electrospinning (pp-FFES) based manufacturing system for the fabrication of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) strong polymer thin films (PVA SPTF). Parallel plate far field electrospinning (also known as the gap electrospinning) is generally used to produce uniaxially aligned fibers between the two parallel collector plates. In the first step, a disc containing PVA/H2 O solution/bath (matrix material) was placed in between the two parallel plate collectors. Next, a layer of uniaxially aligned sub-micron PAN fibers (filler material) produced by pp-FFES was directly collected/embedded in the PVA/H2 O solution by bringing the fibers in contact with the matrix. Next, the disc containing the matrix solution was rotated at 45◦ angular offset and then the next layer of the uniaxial fibers was collected/stacked on top of the previous layer with now 45◦ rotation between the two layers. This process was continued progressively by stacking the layers of uniaxially aligned arrays of fibers at 45◦ angular offsets, until a periodic pattern was achieved. In total, 13 such layers were laid within the matrix solution to make a helicoidal geometry with three pitches. The results demonstrate that embedding the helicoidal PAN fibers within the PVA enables efficient load transfer during high rate loading such as impact. The fabricated PVA strong polymer thin films with helicoidally arranged PAN fiber reinforcement (PVA SPTF-HA) show specific tensile strength 5 MPa · cm3· g−1 and can sustain specific impact energy (8 ± 0.9) mJ · cm3· g−1, which is superior to that of the pure PVA thin film (PVA TF) and PVA SPTF with randomly oriented PAN fiber reinforcement (PVA SPTF-RO). The novel fabrication methodology enables the further capability to produce even further smaller fibers (sub-micron down to even nanometer scales) and by the virtue of its layer-by-layer processing (in the manner of an additive manufacturing methodology) allowing further modulation of interfacial and inter-fiber adherence with the matrix materials. These parameters allow greater control and tunability of impact performances of the synthetic materials for various applications from army combat wear to sports and biomedical/wearable applications.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The concept of Blockchain has penetrated a wide range of scientific areas, and its use is considered to rise exponentially in the near future. Executing short scripts of predefined code called smart contracts on Blockchain can eliminate the need of intermediaries and can also raise the multitude of execution of contracts. In this paper, we discuss the concept of Blockchain along with smart contracts and discuss their applicability in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in the e-healthcare domain. The paper analyses the dimensions that decentralization and the use of smart contracts will take the IoMT in e-healthcare, proposes a novel architecture, and also outlines the advantages, challenges, and future trends related to the integration of all three. The proposed architecture shows its effectiveness with average packet delivery ratio, average latency, and average energy efficiency performance parameters when compared with traditional approaches.

Subjects: classificationCode: 2.7
subject: FOS: Environmental engineering

description: Hydrogel scaffolds are an important component to cellular agriculture. There is a need for a sustainable alternative to the commonly used gelatin-sodium-alginate hydrogels. Specific edible fungus species may provide a suitable alternative. Many fungi possess high protein contents, ease of cultivation, and strong functional properties. However, functional characterizations and application of fungal flour and protein extracts in cellular agriculture are lacking in the literature. Therefore, this study’s objectives were to 1) Develop processes to create functional fungal protein fractions from different fungal strains and evaluate their characteristics, and 2) Quantify the printability of the resulting fungal gels for the creation of structured food precursor materials. Protein extractions were performed with Aspergillus awamori, Auricularia auricula-judea, and Pleurotus ostreatus and evaluated for protein purity, composition, and characteristics. The protein extracts were tested in varying concentrations (15-25%) in thermally treated aqueous solutions to create stable hydrogels. The structural and textural characteristics of the hydrogel were characterized by 3D printability on a 3D bioprinter, rapid visco analysis (RVA), and texture profile analysis (TPA). The results of this study indicated promise for the utilization of P. ostreatus and A. awamori protein extracts to produce suitable hydrogels for bioink formulations in 3D bioprinting applications.

description: The increase in the number of oncological diseases over the past decades requires the development of new drugs and methods of influencing tumor cells, in some cases, the intensification of chemotherapy regimens [1-2]. Along with the successes achieved in the treatment of tumor diseases, the toxicity of the treatment is quite a big problem. Kidney damage developing in cancer patients can lead to a change or increase in the concentration of drugs, thereby increasing their toxicity, prolonging the duration of hospitalization and increasing mortality [3].

description: © 2020 Five different subunits of the human serotonin 3 (5-hydroxytrptamine 3; 5-HT3) receptor exist and these are present in both central and peripheral systems. Different subunits alter the efficacy of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists used to treat diarrhoea predominant-irritable bowel syndrome, chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting and depression. Cell surface arrangement of 5-HT3 receptor complexes and the contribution of C, D and E subunits to receptor function is poorly understood. Here, we examine interactions of A and C subunits using 5-HT3 receptor subunits containing fluorescent protein inserts between the 3rd and 4th transmembrane spanning region. HEK293T cells that do not normally express 5-HT3 receptor subunits, were transiently transfected with A or C or both subunits. Patch clamp experiments show that cells transfected with either fluorescent protein tagged A or A and C subunits generate whole cell currents in response to 5-HT. These findings correlate with the apparent distribution of fluorescent protein tagged A and C subunits at or near cell surfaces detected using TIRF microscopy. In co-transfected cells, the A and C subunits are associated forming AC heteromer complexes at or near the cell surface and a proportion can also form A or C homomers. In conclusion, it is likely that both A homomers and AC heteromers contribute to whole cell currents in response to 5-HT with minimal contribution from C homomers.

Quantum games, like quantum algorithms, exploit quantum entanglement to establish strong correlations between strategic player actions. This paper introduces quantum game-theoretic models applied to trading and demonstrates their implementation on an ion-trap quantum computer. The results showcase a quantum advantage, previously known only theoretically, realized as higher-paying market Nash equilibria. This advantage could help uncover alpha in trading strategies, defined as excess returns compared to established benchmarks. These findings suggest that quantum computing could significantly influence the development of financial strategies.

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Eutrophication is a widespread environmental change that usually reduces the stabilizing effect of plant diversity on productivity in local communities. Whether this effect is scale dependent remains to be elucidated. Here, we determine the relationship between plant diversity and temporal stability of productivity for 243 plant communities from 42 grasslands across the globe and quantify the effect of chronic fertilization on these relationships. Unfertilized local communities with more plant species exhibit greater asynchronous dynamics among species in response to natural environmental fluctuations, resulting in greater local stability (alpha stability). Moreover, neighborhood communities that have greater spatial variation in plant species composition within sites (higher beta diversity) have greater spatial asynchrony of productivity among communities, resulting in greater stability at the larger scale (gamma stability). Importantly, fertilization consistently weakens the contribution of plant diversity to both of these stabilizing mechanisms, thus diminishing the positive effect of biodiversity on stability at differing spatial scales. Our findings suggest that preserving grassland functional stability requires conservation of plant diversity within and among ecological communities.

description: Input costs for fiber optic cable are adding upward pressure on fiber optic cable prices at a time when
demand for fiber technology is high and expected to continue growing. High fiber optic cable prices may
threaten the financial feasibility of information communication technology (ICT) investments. This
executive briefing on trade (EBOT) will examine the relationship between fiber optic cable input costs,
specifically silica tetrachloride, helium, and energy, and the demand forces that have increased the price
of fiber optic cable.

© 2020 Grupo de Investigacion FORCE. All rights reserved. In a context of the casualisation of the workforce, increased technology-mediated teaching, and higher research expectations, the authors explored the changing nature of Australian academic service - that is, service to the university, the community and the profession/discipline. As one element of promotion in universities, academic Service in the higher education sector is ill defined, and poorly described in comparison to the Research and Teaching elements of an academic's role. While the authors saw some evidence of Australian universities paying greater attention to the 'Service' Domain, there remains inconsistent and ambiguous documentation and guidance provided by universities about this Domain. From their review of promotion documentation of 24 percent of Australian universities, the authors identified four key elements which universities could provide to assist academics to develop their promotion applications with respect to their service achievements: descriptions of expected practices in each area of service, and at each academic level; details of evidence that can be used to demonstrate the practices and their impact; case studies which demonstrate the practices, evidence and impact expected at each academic level in the Service Domain; and a definition of Service. As academic work is dramatically altered in consequence of a global epidemic, it is critical to identify specific practical steps institutions can take to assist staff to advance in their careers.

Knowledge of optimal technical performance is used to determine match strategy and the design of training programs. Previous studies in men's soccer have identified certain technical characteristics that are related to success. These studies however, have relative limited sample sizes or limited ranges of performance indicators, which may have limited the analytical approaches that were used. Research in women's soccer and our understanding of optimal technical performance, is even more limited (n = 3). Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify technical determinants of match outcome in the women's game and to compare analytical approaches using a large sample size (n = 1390 team performances) and range of variables (n = 450). Three different analytical approaches (i.e. combinations of technical performance variables) were used, a data-driven approach, a rational approach and an approach based on the literature in men's soccer. Match outcome was modelled using variables from each analytical approach, using generalised linear modelling and decision trees. It was found that the rational and data-driven approaches outperformed the literature-driven approach in predicting match outcome. The strongest determinants of match outcome were; scoring first, intentional assists relative to the opponent, the percentage of shots on goal saved by the goalkeeper relative to the opponent, shots on goal relative to the opponent and the percentage of duels that are successful. Moreover the rational and data-driven approach achieved higher prediction accuracies than comparable studies about men's soccer.

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Background: Good oral health (OH) is essential for physical, social, mental health, and overall quality of life. This study assessed the usefulness of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in changing oral health-related behaviors among school children aged 11–13 years in Saveh, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive before and after study, participants were sixth-grade students at single sex primary schools in Saveh city, Iran. We recruited 356 school children in 2019. Using simple random sampling, a male and a female school per district were allocated to the experimental group and the remaining schools to the control group. Our planned oral health education consisted of four one-hour training sessions over 1 week. The first session familiarized the participants with important information about OH. In the second session, we applied a brain storming exercise to identify the benefits and barriers to flossing and brushing. In the third session, a short film about correct brushing and dental flossing technique was shown and research team also used role-playing to correct any mistakes. In the final session students were taught about the importance and the application of OH planning and given forms to help plan for brushing. Results: Participants for the study included 356 students (180 in the experimental group and 176 in the control group) who completed the post-test questionnaire. The mean age ± standard deviation was 11.55 years ±0.93 in the experimental group and 11.58 years ±1.01 in the control group. After the intervention, the paired t-test indicated a significant difference between the mean and standard deviation of the action plan and coping plan constructs in the experimental group before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). Covariance analysis indicated a significant difference between scores of intervention and control groups under statistical control of post-test in two groups (covariate) after a peer-led education program (post-test) (p
