The evolution of the syn rift and transition phases of the central / southern Brazilian and W. African conjugate margins: the implications for source rock distribution in time and space, and their recognition on seismic data. (2003)

Syn-rift and early transition stage sediments, developed beneath late transition stage salt, form important source rocks on both margins of the central South Atlantic. These margins demonstrate a classical four stage (pre-rift, synrift, transition and drift) passive continental margin evolution. The pre-salt section is often poorly imaged on seismic data due to distortion by the overlying salt. Therefore, it is important to understand the stratigraphic and structural configuration of the pre salt section in good data areas to provide reliable models that can be applied to poor/marginal data areas. Sequential paleogeographical reconstructions allow prediction of the regional distribution of source intervals in time and space. Early syn-rift (late Berriasian to middle Barremian) freshwater shales that were deposited in deep, narrow lakes locally form good source rocks. However, they generally suffer from a high clastic content that diminishes TOC concentration, and thereby, source effectiveness. Late syn-rift (middle to late Barremian)&lt;br&gt;calcareous organic shales and marls were deposited in broad, shallow saline lakes. These deposits occur above a marked internal syn-rift unconformity and form the richest pre-salt source rocks. Organic shales were also deposited under saline conditions during the transition stage but in a basin margin position. These shales form the primary source rocks for basins adjacent to the main Aptian salt basin (e.g. Sergipe, Douala, Potiguar basins). Seismic examples from the southern Campos Basin demonstrate the pre-salt structural configuration. The informally named Eastern Graben is considered to be the source of the majority of hydrocarbons in the Campos Basin.
Harvesting Electronic Waste for the Development of Highly Efficient Eco‐Design Electrodes for Electrocatalytic Water Splitting (2018)

Abstract Disposal of e‐wastes in prescribed landfills poses serious environmental concerns at both a local and global scale. Recovering valuable materials from e‐wastes and utilizing them for development of eco‐design devices guides one to a more productive way of managing wastes. Recycled copper is capable of retaining its intrinsic properties and can be reused with same expectation of performances; capitalizing on this fact, herein, it is attempted to utilize copper from e‐waste as an economically viable catalytic substrate for overall water splitting. Upon deposition of amorphous nickel cobalt phosphide films, the scrap copper wires are highly efficient for catalyzing hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction at low overpotential ( 10 η‐ HER = 178 mV, 10 η‐ OER = 220 mV), and considerably promote water catalysis at 1.59 V@10 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the electrodes demonstrate long‐term stability in alkaline electrolyte that can potentially be employed for large‐scale electrolyzer application. The proposed electrode architecture, by the explicit growth of bimetallic phosphide on highly conductive Cu substrate, facilitates fast electron transport and promises a minimum contact resistance between electrocatalyst and current collector. This work paves the way for development of environmentally sound electrode materials from e‐waste that can be exercised for a myriad of other clean energy reactions.
Maturity2, a novel regulator of flowering time in Sorghum bicolor, increases expression of SbPRR37 and SbCO in long days delaying flowering (2019)

Sorghum bicolor is a drought-resilient facultative short-day C4 grass that is grown for grain, forage, and biomass. Adaptation of sorghum for grain production in temperate regions resulted in the selection of mutations in Maturity loci (Ma1 -Ma6) that reduced photoperiod sensitivity and resulted in earlier flowering in long days. Prior studies identified the genes associated with Ma1 (PRR37), Ma3 (PHYB), Ma5 (PHYC) and Ma6 (GHD7) and characterized their role in the flowering time regulatory pathway. The current study focused on understanding the function and identity of Ma2. Ma2 delayed flowering in long days by selectively enhancing the expression of SbPRR37 (Ma1) and SbCO, genes that co-repress the expression of SbCN12, a source of florigen. Genetic analysis identified epistatic interactions between Ma2 and Ma4 and located QTL corresponding to Ma2 on SBI02 and Ma4 on SBI10. Positional cloning and whole genome sequencing identified a candidate gene for Ma2, Sobic.002G302700, which encodes a SET and MYND (SYMD) domain lysine methyltransferase. Eight sorghum genotypes previously identified as recessive for Ma2 contained the mutated version of Sobic.002G302700 present in 80M (ma2) and one additional putative recessive ma2 allele was identified in diverse sorghum accessions.
[Giving the population component its proper position]. (1982)

In the discussion of the population component and its relationship to social development, we have to note the close relationship between material reproduction and the reproduction of human beings themselves. The unity of these reproductions is a necessary condition for social existence and development. In the past, whenever there was a problem of overpopulation, the tragedy of wiping out large numbers of the population also took place. This kind of tragedy eventually solved the problem of overpopulation and brought back a normal condition for economic development. A cycle like this happened continuously in the past. Under a socialist system today, the situation has been very different. The method includes a conscious adjustment and planned birth control in order to curb the speed of the population growth. Generally speaking, production patterns determine the development of the population growth. Under a certain production pattern, the development of the population reproduction is also dominated by the consumption pattern. A change in the consumption pattern will definitely have a great impact on the birthrate. A comprehensive plan is needed for population growth, and population control should match economic development. In a longterm plan, the population growth plan should be based upon a strategy for economic development and the changes which took place in the process of population reproduction. In short-term plan, practical measures aare needed to control the population growth in order to achieve harmony between the population and the economy.
Coal pyrolysis and methane decomposition in the presence of a hot char bed (1983)

The products of coal pyrolysis can have a significant impact on the ultimate products produced from underground coal gasification (UCG) systems, especially the hydrocarbons. As a result, some type of pyrolysis submodel is necessary to successfully model a UCG system. The underground system produces pyrolysis products characteristic of all temperature regimes simultaneously and continuously. In addition, these products undoubtedly are in contact with hot gas, char, and/or ash for a much longer time than is typical in powder pyrolysis experiments. In these experiments coal is continuously fed onto a hot bed of char. The pyrolysis products are swept down through the hot char before being removed from the reactor. In this paper we describe the results of these experiments, which have to date been performed at temperatures of 500 to 900/sup 0/C and pressures of 100 to 600 kPa. The data show that methane production reaches a peak near 800/sup 0/C and that the influence of the modest pressure change from 100 to 600 kPa is small. In conjunction with these lumped experiments we are also looking at the reactions of methane with hot char and gas, partly as a model compound for the pyrolysis process and partly because ofmore » methane's importance as a UCG product. We have conducted a variety of experiments using homogeneous reactors and reactors packed with char. The data from these experiments are presented and an engineering rate expression is derived for methane decomposition. The derived expression is consistent with the increased hydrogen production and decreased methane production seen in the continuous feed experiments for temperatures above 800/sup 0/C. We find the methane decomposition expression predicts that for typical UCG processes, methane cannot exist in the presence of char for more than 1.5 minutes at 900/sup 0/C or for more than 30 seconds at 1000/sup 0/C. 16 figures, 5 tables.« less
Maternal Programming of Social Dominance via Milk Cytokines (2020)

Regular physical activity improves physical and mental health. Here we found that the effect of physical activity extends to the next generation. Voluntary wheel running of dams, from postpartum day 2 to weaning, increased the social dominance and reproductive success, but not the physical/metabolic health, of their otherwise sedentary offspring. The individual's own physical activity did not improve dominance status. Maternal exercise did not disrupt maternal care or the maternal and offspring microbiota. Rather, the development of dominance behavior in the offspring of running mothers could be explained by the reduction of LIF, CXCL1, and CXCL2 cytokines in breast milk. These data reveal a cytokine-mediated lactocrine pathway that responds to the mother's postpartum physical activity and programs offspring social dominance. As dominance behaviors are highly relevant to the individual's survival and reproduction, lactocrine programming could be an evolutionary mechanism by which a mother promotes the social rank of her offspring.
Effects of Changing the Direction of Gravity on Sector Pupil Dilations (2004)

The results are interpreted in terms of anterior chamber convectional flow and its interaction with transpupillary aqueous flow and diffusion. Early distribution in the anterior segment of a substance applied to the limbus appears to be determined primarily by local diffusion, whereas later distribution is affected by movement of the drug in convectional and transpupillary flow.
A Presumptive System of Defeasible Inference (1986)

Abstract : This paper presents a system on non-monotonic reasoning with defeasible rules that is as presumptive as possible (as bold as possible), while still being warranted. The advantage of such a system is that many multiple extension problems can be solved without additional explicit knowledge; ordering competing extensions can be done in a natural and defensible way, with mere implicit knowledge. The objectives closely resemble Poole's objectives. But the logic is different from Poole's. The most important difference is that this system allows the kind of chaining that many other non-monotonic systems allow. Also, the form in which the inference system is presented is quite novel for an AI system. It mimics an established system of indictive logic, and it treats defeat in the way of the epistemologist-philosophers. The focus is syntactic, and the limitation of resource-bounded theorem-proving can be treated formally.

Planar Multipol-Resonance-Probe: A Spectral Kinetic Approach (2016)

Measuring plasma parameters, e.g. electron density and electron temperature, is an important procedure to verify the stability and behavior of a plasma process. For this purpose the multipole resonance probe (MRP) represents a satisfying solution to measure the electron density. However the in uence of the probe on the plasma through its physical presence makes it unattractive for some processes in industrial application. A solution to combine the bene ts of the spherical MRP with the ability to integrate the probe into the plasma reactor is introduced by the planar model of the MRP (pMRP). Introducing the spectral kinetic formalism leads to a reduced simulation-circle compared to particle-in-cell simulations. The model of the pMRP is implemented and rst simulation results are presented.
Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydrogenation/Lactonization of 2‐Acylarylcarboxylates: Direct Access to Chiral 3‐Substituted Phthalides (2017)

Abstract Highly enantioselective tandem hydrogenation/lactonization of various 2‐acylarylcarboxylates including 2‐aroylarylcarboxylates were realized by using [RuCl(benzene)( S )‐SunPhos]Cl as the catalyst under mild reaction conditions. Excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.6 % ee ) and activities (S/C=1000) were obtained. This convenient and practical method enables a direct access to a series of highly optically pure 3‐substituted phthalides that are very important molecules as valuable pharmacological compounds and diversified synthons for medicinal chemistry. Moreover, a gram‐scale reaction was performed to further demonstrate the practicality of this approach.
Distal Myasthenia Gravis With a Decrement, an Increment, and Denervation (2001)

We present two patients with distal myasthenia gravis poorly responsive to immunomodulatory therapy. In addition to a typical decrement on slow repetitive nerve stimulation, both had borderline to low compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes, a large increment in CMAP amplitude and area after exercise, and active denervation in distal muscles. Both had elevated acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR Ab) levels, but normal voltage-gated calcium channel antibody levels. We hypothesize that these electrophysiological findings represent a more severe form of myasthenia gravis.
Low-loss polymeric materials for passive waveguide components in fiber optical telecommunication (2001)

With fiber optical telecommunication systems penetrating into metropolitan and access networks, planar waveguide technology is increasingly being considered a solution to the bottleneck of cost-effective manufacture of passive components. Being recognized for their high thermo-optical coefficient, ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, good compatibility with other materials, polymer as a platform technology for waveguide devices is gaining more and more commercial acceptance. Fully exploiting the potentials of the polymeric materials demands comprehensive understanding of both the specific device applications and various polymer systems. The right choice of materials is often the key to the success of component development. Unfortunately, since extensive study on polymeric materials and devices operating at 1.55 micrometer just began recently, few ideal materials have been so far made commercially available. From the polymer chemistry point of view, it is possible to tailor the materials meeting specific and strict requirements for optical waveguide devices. The present author reviews the most promising fluorinated polymers and silicone resins and their demonstrated device applications. The paper is designed for providing guide to both polymer scientists, who want to develop novel high performance materials for waveguide applications, and optical engineers who need to gain insight of the materials.

Advanced glycation of cellular proteins as a possible basic component of the “master biological clock” (2013)

During the last decade, evidence has been accumulating supporting the hypothesis that aging is genetically programmed and, therefore, precisely timed. This hypothesis poses a question: what is the mechanism of the biological clock that controls aging? Measuring the level of the advanced glycation end products (AGE) is one of the possible principles underlying the functioning of the biological clock. Protein glycation is an irreversible, non-enzymatic, and relatively slow process. Moreover, many types of cells have receptors that can measure AGE level. We propose the existence of a protein that has a lifespan comparable to that of the whole organism. Interaction of the advanced glycation end product generated from this protein with a specific AGE receptor might initiate apoptosis in a vitally important non-regenerating tissue that produces a primary juvenile hormone. This could result in the age-dependent decrease in the level of this hormone leading to aging of the organism.
Permeability measurement on composites made of oriented metallic wires from 0.1 to 18 GHz (1996)

In this paper, we study the microwave properties of strongly anisotropic materials made of orientated conducting wires. We have developed a broad band method to determine their permeability /spl mu//spl par/ parallel to the direction of the wires. We investigate the magnetic properties of strongly anisotropic composites made of different types of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic wires. A simple model is proposed to account for the skin effect, and agrees with our observations. This leads to a unique broad band method for measuring the permeability of thin conducting wires.
Cranio‐Caudal (Transradial) Approach for Renal Artery Intervention (2013)

This report describes the technique of transradial renal angiography and interventions. We illustrate the approach using typical case images. We believe cranio-caudal approach to the renal artery for diagnostic and therapeutic catheterization offers advantages over the traditional femoral approach.
Transition from Pool to Flow Boiling: The Effect of Reduced Gravity (2004)

Applications of boiling heat transfer in space can be found in the areas of thermal management, fluid handling and control, power systems, on-orbit storage and supply systems for cryogenic propellants and life support fluids, and for cooling of electronic packages for power systems associated with various instrumentation and control systems. Recent interest in exploration of Mars and other planets, and the concepts of in-situ resource utiliLation on Mars highlights the need to understand the effect of gravity on boiling heat transfer at gravity levels varying from 1&gt;= g/g(sub e) &gt;=10(exp -6). The objective of the proposed work was to develop a mechanistic understanding of nucleate boiling and critical heat flux under low and micro-gravity conditions when the velocity of the imposed flow is small. For pool boiling, the effect of reduced gravity is to stretch both the length scale as well as the time scale for the boiling process. At high flow velocities, the inertia of the liquid determines the time and the length scales and as such the gravitational acceleration plays little role. However, at low velocities and at low gravity levels both liquid inertia and buoyancy are of equal importance. At present, we have little understanding of the interacting roles of gravity and liquid inertia on the nucleate boiling process. Little data that has been reported in the literature does not have much practical value in that it can not serve as a basis for design of heat exchange components to be used in space. Both experimental and complete numerical simulations of the low velocity, low-gravity nucleate boiling process were carried out. A building block type of approach was used in that first the growth and detachment process of a single bubble and flow and heat transfer associated with the sliding motion of the bubble over the heater surface after detachment was studied. Liquid subcooling and flow velocity were varied parametrically. The experiments were conducted at 1 g(sub e), while varying the orientation of surface with respect to the gravity vector. In the laboratory experiments, holographic interferometry was used to obtain data on velocity and temperature fields associated with a bubble prior to, and after detachment and during sliding motion. A test rig for conducting experiments in the KC-135 was developed, but experiments could not be conducted due to the unavailability of the aircraft prior to completion of the project. Numerical simulations modeling the micro and macro regions of the bubble were carried out in three dimensions. The results of the experiments were used to validate analytical/numerical models.

Status of LUMINEU program to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 100Mo with cryogenic ZnMoO4 scintillating bolometers (2015)

The LUMTNEU program aims at performing a pilot experiment on 0ν2β decay of 100Mo using radiopure ZnMoO4 crystals enriched in 100Mo operated as cryogenic scintillating bolometers. Large volume ZnMoO4 crystal scintillators (∼ 0.3 kg) were developed and tested showing high performance in terms of radiopurity, energy resolution and α/β particle discrimination capability. Zinc molybdate crystal scintillators enriched in 100Mo were grown for the first time by the low-thermal-gradient Czochralski technique with a high crystal yield and an acceptable level of enriched molybdenum irrecoverable losses. A background level of ∼ 0.5 counts/(yr keV ton) in the region of interest can be reached in a large detector array thanks to the excellent detectors radiopurity and particle discrimination capability, suppression of randomly coinciding events by pulse-shape analysis, and anticoincidence cut. These results pave the way to future sensitive searches based on the LUMTNEU technology, capable of approachingand exploring the inverted hierarchy region of the neutrino mass pattern.
