Writing from the periphery: the haunted landscapes of James McAuley (2014)

In Envoi, an early poem published in the Jindyworobak Anthology in 1940, James McAuley addressed his relationship, as an Australian, with the landscape of his geographic home, concluding, perhaps reluctantly: And I am fitted to that land as he soul is to the body. However, even that gaze was influenced and perhaps haunted by his strong connection, like his admired symbolist predecessor Christopher Brennan, with literary and intellectual traditions. Such a sense is reinforced by McAuley's resort to a repertoire of forms, tropes and myth in his earlier poems.
The question of place returned as a central theme in McAuley's later poems ( 1961 - 76) following his move to Tasmania, where he came under the spell of its more temperate and, at times, severe European landscape. This paper explores the influence of McAuley's early precursors, notably Rilke, Holderlin, and Trakl, in McAuley's own apprehension and execution of a poetic vision in the metaphors of landscape. It focusses on his later translation of Trakl in the 1970s which accompany and mirror his own poems of the time.
The paper examines how McAuley struggled to establish moments of poetic vision of an authentic regional Tasmanian landscape against the persistent sense of Australia's lack of older cultures and traditions. It also traces a shift in consciousness from an early concern with national identity to that of a man acutely aware of belonging to a planet requiring care and responsibility.
Analysis of unbalanced WDM/OCDM transparent optical networks with physical constraints (2010)

In this work we investigate the performance of hybrid technology using wavelength and optical code division multiplexing (WDM/OCDM) applied in a transparent optical network based on circuit switching. The optical network was designed to have an unbalanced number of resources that is planned with the knowledge of the Logical Connection Degree of each network node. In addition, the number of optical orthogonal codes must be limited by the distance from the source node to the destination one due to the severe constraints that PMD imposes to the optical transmission. The preliminary results show that the distribution of resources based on a restriction routing heuristic is a promising choice to the design of optical transparent networks with hybrid WDM/OCDM technology.
Increased steroidogenesis by rat zona glomerulosa cells with increased cell concentration in vitro: evidence for a novel aldosterone-stimulating factor and implications regarding aldosterone biosynthesis (1982)

A fourfold increase in the concentration of rat zona glomerulosa cells incubated in Krebs–Ringer bicarbonate buffer (KRBGA) increased aldosterone production per cell twofold. This cell concentration associated (CCA) increase in aldosterone production showed a dose–response relationship with the number of cells per incubation and was further increased in modified Medium 199, compared with KRBGA. The combination of a fourfold increase in cell concentration with each of maximally steroidogenic concentrations of K + , angiotensin II, ACTH, 5-hydroxytryptamine or cyclic AMP produced an increase in aldosterone production greater than that predicted from the algebraic sum of the steroidogenic effects of the factors acting separately. The CCA increase in basal aldosterone production was maximal during the first 30 min of incubation, could not be accounted for by accumulation of corticosterone in the incubation medium and was largely or completely abolished by the addition of pregnenolone, progesterone, deoxycorticosterone or corticosterone to the incubation medium. Together, these data support the proposal that the CCA effect was due to a novel aldosterone-stimulating factor which increased aldosterone production by stimulating pregnenolone formation. The aldosterone and corticosterone responses to exogenous pregnenolone, progesterone, deoxycorticosterone and corticosterone demonstrated that aldosterone and corticosterone production by zona glomerulosa cells in vitro may represent separate biosynthetic pathways. Furthermore, these studies provided evidence for a mechanism by which increased levels of exogenous pregnenolone, progesterone and deoxycorticosterone were able to increase their per cent conversion to aldosterone, but not to corticosterone.
Restriction on an Energy-Dense Diet Improves Markers of Metabolic Health and Cellular Aging in Mice Through Decreasing Hepatic mTOR Activity (2014)

Dietary restriction (DR) on a normal low-fat diet improves metabolic health and may prolong life span. However, it is still uncertain whether restriction of an energy-dense, high-fat diet would also be beneficial and mitigate age-related processes. In the present study, we determined biomarkers of metabolic health, energy metabolism, and cellular aging in obesity-prone mice subjected to 30% DR on a high-fat diet for 6 months. Dietary-restricted mice had significantly lower body weights, less adipose tissue, lower energy expenditure, and altered substrate oxidation compared to their ad libitum-fed counterparts. Hepatic major urinary proteins (Mup) expression, which is linked to glucose and energy metabolism, and biomarkers of metabolic health, including insulin, glucose, cholesterol, and leptin/adiponectin ratio, were likewise reduced in high-fat, dietary-restricted mice. Hallmarks of cellular senescence such as Lamp2a and Hsc70 that mediate chaperone-mediated autophagy were induced and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling mitigated upon high-fat DR. In contrast to DR applied in low-fat diets, anti-oxidant gene expression, proteasome activity, as well as 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation were not changed, suggesting that high-fat DR may attenuate some processes associated with cellular aging without the induction of cellular stress response or energy deprivation.
Application of predictive control technology at BP's crude oil terminal at Grangemouth (1999)

Numerous projects are under way to prepare the oil terminal at BP's Kinneil site in Grangemouth, Scotland for future changes in feed flow and composition. As part of this effort a Honeywell RMPCT multivariable controller has been implemented on the front end of the plant. This is where dissolved gas is separated from the crude oil. The gas is then processed and the crude oil is exported. Key aspects of this application differ from those normally encountered in refinery advanced control applications. The controller actively avoids capacity constraints whereas most applications seek to push units to constraints. This application is the first stage of a larger overall optimization effort that will eventually cover the downstream distillation section.
Temperature‐length growth strategies in the littoral alga <i>Ascophyllum nodosum</i> (L.)1 (1983)

The growth in length of Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) apices is greatly enhanced during brief temperature increases. This temperature‐related increase in length is linearly correlated to light intensity. Maximum elongation rate is found during 5–10 min of exposure. During the first hour of exposure, elongation rates are linearly correlated with temperature up to 35°C. At 6 h of exposure an optimum temperature for growth in length is indicated at 22.5°C. The elongation rates decrease with time, suggesting that resources are used up. The renewal of these resources under normal conditions is linearly correlated with time. Elongation rates induced by high temperature are followed by rates lower than normal after the temperature exposure. However, for exposures of 1–4 h, there is an increase in overall rate of elongation. The results indicate that the main part of the length growth in A. nodosum takes place during low tide when the alga is exposed to heating by air and sun.
Remap-Based Inter-Partition Copy for Arrayed Solid-State Drives (2021)

The internal copy (IC) is a simple, yet powerful in-storage processing function, which changes the locations of data blocks without invoking any data transfer between the host and storage. Owing to the out-of-place update constraint of flash memory, solid-state disks (SSDs) employ a flash translation layer (FTL) to manage the logical-to-physical address translation. By leveraging the address indirection feature of SSDs, the IC can be processed only by remapping flash pages to new logical addresses without flash read/write operations. In the existing studies on remap-based IC, SSDs were assumed to have only a single FTL instance. However, recent large-capacity SSDs adopt an arrayed architecture including multiple FTL controllers, where each controller runs an FTL instance to manage its own partitioned address space. For the arrayed SSDs, inter-partition copy requests cannot be handled by address remapping because each partition is managed by a different FTL instance. In this study, we propose an inter-partition remap technique for IC-enabled arrayed SSDs. Additionally, we present the block allocation technique to minimize the number of inter-partition copy requests. Our proposed IC techniques were implemented on an actual arrayed SSD, and showed significant performance improvements compared to the previous remap techniques in several use cases.

STUDIES ON THE CHEMICAL BASIS FOR CHOLINOMIMETIC AND CHOLINOLYTIC ACTIVITY: PART I. THE SYNTHESIS AND CONFIGURATION OF QUATERNARY SALTS IN THE 1,3-DIOXOLANE AND OXAZOLINE SERIES (1962)

Structure activity relationships in the muscarine and the quaternary 1,3-dioxolane (Fourneau series) series are briefly discussed. The most active member of the latter series (2-methyl-4-dimethylaminomethyl-1,3-dioxolane methiodide, (IX), F2268) was shown to consist of a mixture of 60% cis and 40% trans isomers. The same was found to apply to all synthetic intermediates in that series. Unequivocal assignments of configuration were made by relating various intermediates leading to (IX) and its analogs to D-cis-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane itself, obtained by degradation of 1,6-anhydrogalactose. Attempted separation of cis–trans isomers in the 1,3-dioxolane series was not successful. However, a mixture of cis, trans-2-trichloromethyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane (XVI) could be fractionated by crystallization of the corresponding tosylates. Catalytic hydrogenolysis converted the pure cis- and trans-trichloromethyl derivatives (XVII) and (XVIII) to pure cis- and trans-2-methyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane tosylates (XIX) and (XX), which eventually afforded for the first time pure cis-F2268 and trans-F2268 (XXII) and (XXIII).Optically active members in the 1,3-dioxolane series were prepared. Members of the D(−)-series were conveniently obtained from D-isopropylidene glycerol. Members of the L(+)-series could be obtained in optically impure forms by resolution of dl-tertiary bases such as (XXXVI) with D- and L-dibenzoyltartaric acid. The best preparations had an optical purity not exceeding 32%. The resolution of the cis base (X) was unsuccessful.The synthesis of an oxazoline analog, (XLIV), of F2268 was accomplished. The reaction sequence involves solvolysis of N-acetyl-2,3-dibromo-n-propylamine (XLI) to give the 5-bromomethyl-2-methyloxazoline (XLII). This unstable intermediate was reacted with dimethylamine to give the tertiary base (XLIII), which was quaternized with methyl iodide whereupon the quaternary base (XLIV) was formed in good yield. The structure of the latter was established by an independent synthesis of the hydrolysis product (XLV).Preliminary pharmacological data are reported for the various new quaternary salts. The compounds were assayed for cholinomimetic activity. It is concluded from these studies that quaternary 1,3-dioxolanes display structure-activity relationships analogous to the muscarones. The use of triethylammonium analogs has revealed a large degree of preference of cholinergic receptors for the presence of a cis configuration in 2,4-disubstituted-1,3-dioxolanes. It was also noted that the oxazoline derivative (XLIV) ranks amongst the most active cholinomimetics thus far reported. Relationships between configuration and activity are briefly discussed.
The Trigeminal Evoked Potential (1993)

TRIGEMINAL EVOKED POTENTIALS have been elicited with differing methodologies that render responses almost as numerous as the number of laboratories reporting them. Forty-six trigeminal nerves were studied to investigate trigeminal evoked potentials in 20 awake, normal subjects and 20 patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. A comparison was made between different methods of surface stimulation and subdermal stimulation. It was concluded that these techniques had no practical use in intraoperative monitoring.
Pictorial Display in Aircraft Navigation and Landing (1950)

The 15-year general plan formulated by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics for developing and installing a comprehensive air-navigation system in the United States requires, among other things, ground and airborne "pictorial situation display." This display is to appear on the ground and in aircraft cockpits, and is to be used in the traffic-control zone, during landing, and to control taxiing on the surface of the airport. Displays for traffic control and instrument landing are illustrated. It is shown that, in traffic control, the picture can be used merely as a means of monitoring some other method of control and of enabling the pilot to avoid collisions with other aircraft; or the picture can constitute the primary method of presenting traffic-control instructions to the pilot. Moving-block and fixed-block traffic-control patterns were flown by many pilots in a teleran Link trainer with favorable results. Teleran is discussed to indicate the nature and solution of some problems typical of pictorial display in aviation. Developments are described pertaining to self-identification in the picture, use of graphechon storage tubes, altitude coding, and picture brightness. After additional and varied developments, requiring several years for completion, it should be possible to select optimum methods for providing pictorial display.

Management software maintains a pool of devices to manage network devices. Whenever user's request is occured, virtual desktop s/w which manages desktop's I/O access device pool. Then virtual desktop s/w selects proper device and forwards I/O to desktop. In this paper, we choose RIA solution for install-free environment. Consequently, user easily enrolls and revokes their devices. User easily commands virtual desktop s/w. In the second half of this paper, we explain usage scenario and evaluate our framework to show efficiency and flexibility of the framework.
Microwave drying of foods with high humidity (1999)

A test unit of a microwave dryer was constructed and tested for cooking and drying foods with high humidity. The test identified the moisture evaporation curve and the drying curve. Based on these curves, a four-stage drying process was introduced. A local taro, Bin-lang-Yu, was put through the unit, and the measurements show the feasibility of microwave drying of foods with high humidity. Significant efficiency improvements with microwave drying were obtained. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 22: 205–207, 1999.
The Use of Photoinjection to Determine Oxide Charge Distributions and Interface Properties in MOS Structures-Invited Paper (1970)

Determination of the distribution of oxide charge and interface properties is important to an understanding of oxide charging phenomena such as that produced by irradiation. The physical mechanism dominating the voltage dependence of photoinjected currents in SiO2 is the scattering of electrons in the region of the oxide between the injecting electrode and the image force potential maximum. Since the spatial position of the potential maximum depends on the electric field resulting from space charge in the oxide as well as the field due to the applied voltage, analysis of the V-I characteristics of photoinjected currents can provide information about the spatial location of oxide charge. Presented in this paper are the results of an analysis of the effects of oxide space charge on the voltage dependence of photoinjected currents. It is shown that charge distribution in SiO2 can be nondestructively profiled over a range from about ten to several hundred angstroms from the injecting electrode. Since photoinjection V-I characteristics depend on electric field at the potential maximum in the oxide, whereas C-V characteristics depend on the field just inside the semiconductor, analysis of both characteristics permits distinction between charge in t e oxide a distance greater than about 10 Å and charge located at the interface.

Cross-organizational service maintenance using temporal availability specification and contracts (2005)

In the near future, the number of cross-organizational automated interactions or processes (B2B) is expected to increase strongly along with the trend to outsource non-core business tasks. Furthermore, the possibility of offering new services or processes based on the composition of both internal and external services is raising this number even faster. For example, among the enabling technologies the so-called "Web services", allowed the number of available commercial services to grow rapidly. However, these systems raise some unique software engineering problems that are related to their connected component's evolution. Cross-organizational services can be compared to distributed component systems with distributed maintenance responsibilities. Consequently, for the entire system to stay coherent, the consumers and providers of cross-organizational services must be bound by contracts. Moreover, these contracts must include some temporal specification of the availability of services. In this paper, we highlight the relationship between existing distributed component system technologies and cross-organizational services. We also explore different service evolution scenarios. After having defined the notion of dependency graph for a service, we analyze how temporal availability can be specified and show a way to compute the availability of an offered service given the availability of the consumed services on which it depends.
Operating Characteristics of LLC Series Resonant Converter (2007)

The LLC series resonant converter with a LLT (Inductor-Inductor-Transformer) transformer design process and experimentation results for PDP TV power supply is presented. LLT transformer used to combine the inductor and transformer into one unit has the increased leakage inductance in the primary and secondary due to the winding method and the use of the gaped core. The increased leakage inductance in the primary and secondary of LLT transformer can be impacted on the DC voltage gain characteristics of LLC series resonant converter, In this paper, DC gain characteristics and the experimental results of the LLC series resonant converter with a LLT transformer are verified on the Math-CAD simulation based on the theoretical analysis and the 600W experimental prototype.
[Correlation of the nitrate and ascorbic acid content in vegetables and fruits]. (1980)

Comparison of the evidence on the content of nitrates and ascorbic acid in vegetables and fruits shows that the content of ascorbic acid in fruits exceeds that of nitrates whereas in a number of vegetables the nitrate content is greater than that of ascorbic acid. With increase in the amount of nitrogen fertilizers introduced, the content of nitrates in vegetables grows more intensively as compared to ascorbic acid. The range of these variations is relative to the type and grade of vegetables. During the storage of beet and cabbage the decreased content of ascorbic acid correlated well with the amount of nitrogen-containing mineral fertilizers introduced. It is recommended that fruits and berries be used first of all as a source of ascorbic acid, while rhubarb, fall radish and salad be restricted in the diet.
Cosmic Evolutionary Philosophy and a Dialectical Approach to Technological Singularity (2018)

The anticipated next stage of human organization is often described by futurists as a global technological singularity. This next stage of complex organization is hypothesized to be actualized by scientific-technic knowledge networks. However, the general consequences of this process for the meaning of human existence are unknown. Here, it is argued that cosmic evolutionary philosophy is a useful worldview for grounding an understanding of the potential nature of this futures event. In the cosmic evolutionary philosophy, reality is conceptualized locally as a universal dynamic of emergent evolving relations. This universal dynamic is structured by a singular astrophysical origin and an organizational progress from sub-atomic particles to global civilization mediated by qualitative phase transitions. From this theoretical ground, we attempt to understand the next stage of universal dynamics in terms of the motion of general ideation attempting to actualize higher unity. In this way, we approach technological singularity dialectically as an event caused by ideational transformations and mediated by an emergent intersubjective objectivity. From these speculations, a historically-engaged perspective on the nature of human consciousness is articulated where the truth of reality as an emergent unity depends on the collective action of a multiplicity of human observers.
Comparison of InGaN-Based LEDs Grown on Conventional Sapphire and Cone-Shape-Patterned Sapphire Substrate (2009)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> To improve the external quantum efficiency, a high-quality InGaN/GaN film was grown on a cone-shape-patterned sapphire substrate (CSPSS) by using metal–organic chemical vapor deposition. The surface pattern of the CSPSS seems to be more helpful for the accommodative relaxation of compressive strain related to the lattice mismatch between GaN and a sapphire substrate because the growth mode of GaN on the CSPSS was similar to that of the epitaxial lateral overgrowth. The output power of a light-emitting diode (LED) grown on the CSPSS was estimated to be 16.5 mW at a forward current of 20 mA, which is improved by 35% compared to that of a LED grown on a conventional sapphire substrate. The significant enhancement in output power is attributed to both the increase of the extraction efficiency, resulted from the increase in photon escaping probability due to enhanced light scattering at the CSPSS, and the improvement of the crystal quality due to the reduction of dislocation. </para>
