High‐temperature Chlorination of Amines and Acylamines (1962)

Abstract High‐temperature chlorination of acyl derivatives of primary and secondary amines and of tertiary alkyl amines usually yields compounds containing either the imidochloride (monochloromethyleneamino) group or the dichloroisocyanide (dichloromethyleneamino) group . In many cases, yields in the range of 80 to 95% are obtaied. Several ring‐opening and ring‐closing reactions ocurring under the conditions of high‐temperature chlorination ae described.
300A 650V 70 um thin IGBTs with double-sided cooling (2011)

Large IGBTs with a current rating of 300A and a blocking voltage of 650V on ultra thin wafers have been successfully developed with double-sided cooling capability. The deposition of solderable metals on the front and back sides of the IGBT produced flat thin wafers with less than 2 mm warpage and good mechanical yield. A large reduction of on-state voltage drop 390 mV at 300A is achieved in a wirebond-less Cu-clip package. The combination of lower on-state voltage drop and larger heat exchange area increases the IGBT current carrying capability by 200%.
Inductorless and electrolytic capacitorless pseudo-sine current controller in LED lighting system with 1.1W/2.2W power reduction (2012)

LED lighting system with the proposed pseudo-sine-current (PSC) controller removes most of the external passive components, which include inductor, electrolytic capacitor (E-cap), freewheel diode, blocking diode, and the bleeding circuit for Triac dimming control, for low cost and small volume. Besides, 1.1W and 2.2W power loss are reduced in Triac dimming control to get high efficiency of 85% at 110Vrms and 87% at 220Vrms, respectively. Furthermore, High PF of 0.98 at 110Vrms and 0.96 at 220Vrms, and low THD of 18% at 110Vrms and 19% at 220Vrms are also achieved owing to in-phase line voltage and current.
Working memory (2017)

This chapter aims to present a body of new experimental evidence which provides a firm basis for the working memory hypothesis. It describes a series of experiments on the role of memory in reasoning, language comprehension, and learning. An attempt is made to apply comparable techniques in all three cases in the hope that this will allow a common pattern to emerge, if the same working memory system is operative in all three instances. The chapter suggests a dichotomy between working memory and the recency effect, in contrast to the more usual view that both recency and the memory span reflect a single limited capacity short-term buffer store (STS). The most devastating evidence against the hypothesis that STS serves as a crucially important working memory comes from the neuropsychological work of Shallice and Warrington. The chapter discusses the effect of factors which might be supposed to influence a working memory system, should it exist, across a range of cognitive tasks.
Two-Phase Flow Distribution and Pressure Drop in Microchannel Tubes Under Non-Heating and Heating Conditions (2006)

The present study investigated two-phase flow distribution and pressure drop in microchannel tubes under non-heating and heating conditions using R-22. The test section consisted of inlet and outlet headers with the inner diameter of 19.4 mm and had 15 or 41 parallel microchannel tubes. Each microchannel tube had 8 rectangular ports with hydraulic diameter of 1.3 mm. For non-heating condition, the key experimental parameters were orientation of the header, flow direction of refrigerant into the inlet header, and inlet quality. For heating condition, the key experimental parameters were inclination angle, mass flow rate, and inlet quality. It was found that the effect of the orientation of the header on the two-phase flow distribution and pressure drop was the largest under the non-heating condition. Two-phase pressure drops through the microchannel tubes with the horizontal header were higher than those of the microchannel tubes with the vertical header due to the gravitational effect. Under the heating condition, the cooling capacities of three prototype evaporators were changed as the mass flow rate and inlet quality were increased due to the flow mal-distribution.
A Study of the Design Technology for Developing a 100kW Class Steam Turbine (2009)

Small scale steam turbines are used as mechanical drivers in chemical process plant or power generators. In this study, a design technology was developed for a 100kW class steam turbine which will be used for removing CO₂ from the emission gas on a reheated cycle system. This turbine is operated at a low inlet total pressure of 5 kgf/㎠. It consists of two stages and operates at the partial admission. For the meanline analysis, a performance prediction method was developed and it was validated through the performances on the operating small steam turbines which are using at plants. Their results showed that the output power was predicted within 10% deviation although the steam turbines adopted in this analysis were operated at different flow conditions and rotor size. The turbine blades was initially designed based on the computed results obtained from the meanline analysis. A supersonic nozzle was designed on the basis of the operating conditions of the turbine, and the first stage rotor was designed using a supersonic blade design method. The stator and second stage rotor was designed using design parameters for the blade profile. Finally, Those blades were iteratively modified from the flow structures obtained from the three-dimensional flow analysis to increase the turbine performance. The turbine rotor system was designed so that it could stably operate by 76% separation margin with tilting pad bearings.
Migraine Prophylaxis with Lisuride Hydrogen Maleate‐A Double Blind Study of Lisuride Versus Placebo (1978)

SYNOPSIS This paper reports the results of a double‐blind clinical trial of the antiserotonin compound Lisuride hydrogen maleate (LHM) in the prophylaxis of frequent and severe migraine. The study was conducted over a minimum period of three months. When judged according to reduction in frequency of attacks, LHM emerged significantly superior to placebo (p<0.05), though a higher rate of side effects was noted in the active treatment group. A high rate of placebo response (in keeping with other similar trials) was observed.It is concluded that LHM is significantly superior to placebo as a migraine prophylactic and its relative freedom from serious side effects suggests a useful role for the drug as an alternative to methysergide.
The Emily Carr Omnibus by Emily Carr (1995)

112 Western American Literature author’s connection to the nature of a place. Although this connection be­ comes apparent only through the accretion of observations, it is, finally, what gives Wordsfrom a Wide Land coherence and meaning. STEPHANIE SARVER University ofCalifornia, Davis The Emily Carr Omnibus. By Emily Carr. Introduction by Doris Shadbolt. (Vancouver: Douglas &McIntyre; Seattle: University ofWashington, 1993. 893 pages, $40.00.) The painter Emily Carr, whose main inspiration was the landscape outside of Victoria and Vancouver, was in her fifties before receiving artistic recogni­ tion, and she was in her sixties before publishing the fiction and autobiogra­ phy that she had produced over as many years as painting. Although Carr attempted to publish during her twenties, publication did not come until 1941, when the story collection Klee Wyck came out after radio broadcasts of several stories by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Only two more books were published during Carr’s life, TheBook ofSmall, fictional autobiography, and the more directly autobiographical The House ofAll Sorts, while the remainder of her writing appeared during the first two decades after her death in 1945. This omnibus, somewhat unwieldy, with the heft of a dictionary, brings together all of Carr’s published writing and reveals a woman who kept her distance from others, giving herself more to her work and pet dogs and birds than to familial or social relations. Carr was the eighth of nine children of prosperous English immigrants, and by the time she was fourteen, both her parents were dead. Carr felt alienated from her oldest sister, who supervised her upbringing, and from her other siblings as well. This alienation is one of her recurrent themes, and Carr reveals it to be the impetus for her art: “I had to show what drove me to the woods and to the creatures for comfort, what caused the real starting point of my turn to Art.” In a similar vein, she writes elsewhere that “pain is easier to endure out in the open. Space draws it from you. Enclosure squeezes it close.” Carr’s desire to escape rather than explore the pain of human intimacy helps explain both the power of her painting and the weakness of her writing. The most compelling narratives probe people’s individual and collective diffi­ culties. Carr’s writings are not narratives but sets of vignettes, sketches of the surfaces of certain human situations. Uncompelling in themselves, the works are interesting mainly for what they reveal psychologically about the painter Emily Carr. PAMELA WALKER Houston, Texas ...
In-time non-iterative fast-algorithm for support constrained deconvolution (2005)

It has been shown, in the kernel splitting method for support constrained deconvolution recently presented, that the restored signal can be obtained from an infinite series of time-functions. In the present work it is proved that the series is finite when the convolution kernel is left-time-limited. Each function of the series is itself a series built from delayed replicas of the convolved signal multiplied by weighted and delayed rectangular windows. The non-overlapping time-regions of the windows are first located and then by zero trivial multiplication are not computed. Then an in-time non-iterative fast algorithm is deduced. Finally the input recovery of a linear system whose transfer function vanishes at several points is investigated both with a noise-free or a noisy output signal. In these conditions where inverse filtering fails, the present algorithm works well.
Quantitative image quality evaluation for mobile display in outdoor environment (2013)

The Image quality of a mobile display in outdoor environment is evaluated in quantitative methodology. Contrast and colorfulness were chosen as the main quality factors among several quality attributes such as sharpness, lightness, noise and naturalness, and expressed in Just Noticeable Difference unit to correlate the image quality metric with human visual system. The overall image quality metric is determined by two quality metrics using contrast and colorfulness, respectively. These two quality attributes are obtained from measured XYZ values of the test image on mobile display in outdoor environment.
Diabetes: Beyond Just Type 1 and Type 2 (2011)

Defining diabetes has become more complex than a simple classification of type 1 and type 2. As more is learned about the pathophysiology of the disease, subtle distinctions have been found, which have implications for diagnosis and treatment. Diabetes that is linked to another disease, or to organ transplantation, may also require a different management strategy. Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults and post-transplant diabetes are two types of so-called “special diabetes” that have become more recognized over the past few years, creating challenges both in appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Rehabilitation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Why it matters (2014)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that results in a constellation of problematic symptoms and a high patient and caregiver burden. Multidisciplinary care includes rehabilitation interventions that have the goal of assisting people to teach their fullest potential despite the presence of a disabling disease. Given the progressive nature of ALS, the clinician must be aware of the expected disease trajectory and apply appropriate interventions at each stage. This review will present rehabilitation strategies that can be utilized to maximize patient independence, function, safety, and quality of life, and to minimize disease-related symptoms. The role of bracing, exercise, assistive devices, and adaptive equipment will be discussed. At each disease stage, an experienced rehabilitation team is well positioned to make a significant impact on the life of ALS patients.
Distributed complex event processing for mobile large-scale video applications (2014)

A recent trend in communication networks---sometimes referred to as fog computing---offers to execute computational tasks close to the access points of the networks. This enables mobile Complex Event Processing (CEP) middlewares to significantly reduce end-to-end latencies and bandwidth usage by migrating operators when event sources and consumers change their location. This demonstration shows the impact of proactive migration strategies on the perceived end user quality in the context of a video monitoring application.
The porcine translational research database: a manually curated, genomics and proteomics-based research resource (2017)

This database is the largest manually curated database for any single veterinary species and is unique among porcine gene databases in regard to linking gene expression to gene function, identifying related gene pathways, and connecting data with other porcine gene databases. This database provides the first comprehensive description of three major Super-families or functionally related groups of proteins (Cluster of Differentiation (CD) Marker genes, Solute Carrier Superfamily, ATP binding Cassette Superfamily), and a comparative description of porcine microRNAs.
Physiological and Pathological Growth Hormone Secretion (2005)

Growth hormone (GH) secretion is normally episodic, with discrete bursts of GH super-imposed on a minimal basal level of production. This pattern of GH production yields a dynamic state between a low baseline and intervening peaks, posing a challenge for the clinician attempting to understand the 'true GH status' in a specific patient. This pulsatile pattern is maintained throughout the day, but there are clear differences between different segments of the day, with approximately two-thirds of the total daily secretion produced at night. The dynamic nature of GH production has led many investigators to suggest that when evaluating short stature, parameters of spontaneous GH production be applied rather than the GH response to artificial stimulation. GH secretory patterns in healthy control populations are compared to those in patients with several conditions seen by the pediatric endocrinologist (classical GH deficiency, GH neurosecretory dysfunction, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, hypothyroidism, small for gestational age, Russell-Silver syndrome, constitutional delay of growth and puberty and Fanconi's anemia) and variables used for analysis of these patterns are described. Inferences made from comprehensive evaluations of the GH axis in Fanconi's anemia provide unique insight into general GH pathophysiology.
GLADYS SWAIN, « De Kant à Hegel : Deux époques de la folie », in Dialogue avec l’insensé – Essais d’histoire de la psychiatrie, Gallimard, 1997, 1-28 (2013)

Les salariés intermittents des secteurs du spectacle et de l’audiovisuel bénéficient d’un régime de protection sociale qui ouvre droit à une indemnisation du chômage spécifique, inscrite dans les annexes 8 pour les techniciens, et 10 pour les artistes, du régime d’assurance chômage. Ces salariés du spectacle peuvent travailler pour de multiples employeurs et enchaîner un nombre non limité de contrats à durée déterminée dits d’usage. Entre 2004 et 2016, pour être indemnisés au titre des annexes 8 et 10 de l’assurance chômage, ils devaient déclarer au moins 507 heures d’activité sur une période de dix mois et demi pour les techniciens, et de dix mois pour les artistes.Si les effectifs d’intermittents du spectacle indemnisés ont reculé à la suite de la réforme de la convention d’assurance chômage en 2003, ils progressent continûment depuis 2006 et plus particulièrement depuis l’adoption, en 2016, de nouvelles conditions d’affiliation. En 2018, 127 000 salariés artistes et techniciens du spectacle ont été indemnisés au moins une journée par l’assurance chômage. L’exploitation longitudinale des bases de Pôle emploi sur une période de onze années (2005-2015) permet d’observer les trajectoires des intermittents indemnisés et les caractéristiques d’activité de cette population dont le régime de protection sociale fait régulièrement débat.La mesure des volumes mensuels d’activité déclarés au cours de ces onze années (132 mois) permet d’identifier différents groupes, des confirmés, qui se maintiennent durablement dans le secteur à un volume horaire de travail mensuel élevé (près d’un tiers des techniciens et des artistes), aux éphémères, qui ne font qu’un passage bref dans ce régime (17 % des techniciens et 8 % des artistes).
Online Self-Reconfiguration with Performance Guarantee for Energy-Efficient Large-Scale Cloud Computing Data Centers (2010)

In a typical large-scale data center, a set of applications are hosted over virtual machines (VMs) running on a large number of physical machines (PMs). Such a virtualization technique can be used for conserving power consumption by minimizing the number of PMs that should be turned on according to the application requirements to resource. However, the resource demands for VMs is dynamic in nature since the number of user requests the applications should handle is rapidly changing in practice. It is a great challenge to online reconfigure the VMs (i.e., optimize the number and the locations for the VMs) according to the dynamic resource demands. Especially for the emerging applications of large-scale data centers for cloud computing systems, existing approaches either fails to find a best configuration of VMs or cannot produce a result in an acceptable time. In this paper, we propose an online self-reconfiguration approach for reallocating VMs in large-scale data centers. It first accurately predicts the future workloads of the applications with Brown's quadratic exponential smoothing. Based on such a prediction, it adopts a genetic algorithm to efficiently find the optimal reconfiguration policy. The resource utilization of large-scale cloud computing data centers can thus be improved and their energy consumption can be greatly conserved. We conduct extensive experiments and the results verify that our approach can effectively switch off more unnecessary running PMs comparing with current approaches without a performance degradation of the whole system.
Theory of elastic interaction of colloidal particles in nematic liquid crystals near one wall and in the nematic cell (2011)

We apply the method developed [Chernyshuk and Lev, Phys. Rev. E 81, 041701 (2010)] for theoretical investigation of colloidal elastic interactions between axially symmetric particles in the confined nematic liquid crystal near one wall and in the nematic cell with thickness L. Both cases of homeotropic and planar director orientations are considered. Particularly, dipole-dipole, dipole-quadrupole, and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions of the one particle with the wall and within the nematic cell are found as well as corresponding two particle elastic interactions. A set of results has been predicted: The effective power of repulsion between two dipole particles at height h near the homeotropic wall is reduced gradually from inverse 3 to 5 with an increase of dimensionless distance r / h; near the planar wall, the effect of dipole-dipole isotropic attraction is predicted for large distances r > r(dd) = 4.76 h; maps of attraction and repulsion zones are crucially changed for all interactions near the planar wall and in the planar cell; and one dipole particle in the homeotropic nematic cell was found to be shifted by the distance δ(eq) from the center of the cell. The proposed theory fits very well with experimental data for the confinement effect of elastic interaction between spheres in the homeotropic cell [Vilfan et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 237801 (2008)] in the range 1-1000 kT. The influence of the K(24) and K(13) terms as well as connection with other theoretical approaches are discussed.
Serpentinite Carbonation for CO2 Sequestration in the Southern Apennines: Preliminary Study (2015)

Abstract During "Mineral CO2 sequestration" the CO2 is chemically stored in solid carbonates by the carbonations of minerals. The sequestration of CO2 is permanent and safe. Mineral carbonation is an exothermic reaction and occurs naturally in the subsurface as a result of fluid–rock interactions within serpentinite. In situ carbonation aims to promote these reactions by injecting CO2 into porous, subsurface geological formations. In the northern sector of the Pollino Massif (southern Italy) extensively occur serpentinites; they are the subject of a project devoted to their possible use for in situ geological sequestration of CO2.
Many versions of masculine : an exploration of boys' identity formation through digital storytelling in an afterschool program (2006)

\n\t\t\t\t\tBoth scholarly literature and popular media often depict predominantly negative and one-dimensional images of boys, especially African-American boys. Predictions of these boys&rsquo; anticipated difficulties in school and adulthood are equally prevalent. This paper reports qualitative research that features case studies of nine urban boys of color, aged nine to eleven, who participated in an afterschool program where they learned to create digital multimedia texts. Drawing on an analysis of the children&rsquo;s patterns of participation, their multimodal products, and their social and intellectual growth over time, the study revealed that these children demonstrated many versions of male selves, and that their digital stories narrated these identities in ways that often challenged hegemonic versions of masculinity. These enactments of identity were made possible by the ways that their afterschool social space structured their activities, as well as by the symbolic means and subject matters privileged in that space, principally digital multimodal narratives and popular culture. At a time when afterschool programs are under pressure to become extensions of the school day, this research argues for recognition of and support for the different functions such programs can serve when structured as alternative spaces for learning and identity formation.<br />\n\t\t\t\t
The state of the Florida tropical fruit industry and the challenges growers face (2006)

The Tropical Fruit Growers of South Florida is a group of commercial growers who organized nearly 20 years ago to represent our industry. Chris Rollins, who is the current director of Miami Dade's Fruit and Spice Park, spearheaded the idea to form this organization. Chris saw that there were many growers who could benefit from a coalition that would become unified to support the tropical fruit industry. This group's mission would evolve into teaching members' how to be better growers through education, promoting the tropical fruit industry and working with the University of Florida Extension Service, the faculty at the Tropical Research and Education Center, and other governmental and private organizations to help our industry. We would also receive grants through the help of Tropical Fruit Advisory Council and further promote the industry with marketing initiatives. Since then, we have accomplished much, but face many challenges. Our growers have suffered from offshore competition, hurricanes and loss of farmland due to increasing development pressure. We now are exploring options and looking for innovative ways to stay competitive and further enhance our ability to keep Florida tropical fruit farming viable.
