Influence of Molarity and Chemical Composition on the Development of Compressive Strength in POFA Based Geopolymer Mortar (2015)

The investigation concerns the use of the optimum mix proportion of two locally available pozzolanic waste materials, namely, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA), together with metakaolin (MK) as binders. In addition, another local waste material, manufactured sand (M-sand), was used as a replacement for conventional sand in the development of green geopolymer mortar. Twenty-four mortar mixtures were designed with varying binder contents and alkaline activators. The oven dry curing was also kept consistent for all the mix proportions at a temperature of 65°C for 24 hours. The highest 28-day compressive strength of about 48 MPa was obtained for the mortar containing 20% of MK, 35% of GGBS, and 45% of POFA. The increment of MK beyond 20% leads to reduction of the compressive strength. The GGBS replacement beyond 35% also reduced the compressive strength. The entire specimen achieved average 80% of the 28-day strength at the age of 3 days. The density decreased with the increase of POFA percentage. The finding of this research by using the combination of MK, GGBS, and POFA as binders to wholly replace conventional ordinary Portland cement would lead to alternate eco-friendly geopolymer matrix.
Attenuation of oscillatory pressures in instrument lines (1950)

A t heoretical investigation has been made of the attenuation and lag of an oscillatory pressure variat ion applied to one end of a tube, when the other end is connected to a pressuresensitive element.
Is the concomitant use of clopidogrel and Proton Pump Inhibitors still associated with increased adverse cardiovascular outcomes following coronary angioplasty?: a systematic review and meta-analysis of recently published studies (2012 – 2016) (2017)

The combined use of clopidogrel with PPIs is still associated with significantly higher adverse cardiovascular events such as MACEs, ST and MI following PCI supporting results of the previously published meta-analysis. However, long-term mortality is not statistically significant warranting further analysis with randomized patients.
[Review of] Evelyn Kallen. Ethnicity and Human Rights in Canada (1985)

Ethnicity and Human Rights in Canada is a sequel to Kallen's The Anatomy of Racism: Canadian Dimensions. Whereas her earlier work sought to clarify the concepts of race and ethnicity as they applied to a neutral, if not tolerant, nation, the social context of the current work is less benign. Factors implicated in the shift to more contentious racial and ethnic relations include a struggling national economy, separatist moves in Quebec and the West, a rapidly expanding non White immigration, and advancement of natural resource claims by aboriginal groups at a time when federal pressure for energy development in the North conflicts with these rights. Although the bulk of Ethnicity and Human Rights in Canada is specific to the Canadian context, several sections are more broadly applicable. The introduction provides a brief biological discussion of genetics and race, racism, and human rights. Of particular value in this section is a clear explanation of the impact of continual structural discrimination, in "the self-fulfilling prophecy of White racism." The relationship of race, culture, and ethnicity is explored in chapter three, which uses the Canadian situation to illustrate points of broader significance. Contrasting cultural understandings of land ownership, for example, are problematic beyond Canada's boundaries. In this chapter, Kallen introduces classification schemes, such as the typology of rights and the typology of claims, which clarify the bases for argumentation for protection or advancement of human rights.
Wax, sex and the origin of species: Dual roles of insect cuticular hydrocarbons in adaptation and mating (2015)

Evolutionary changes in traits that affect both ecological divergence and mating signals could lead to reproductive isolation and the formation of new species. Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are potential examples of such dual traits. They form a waxy layer on the cuticle of the insect to maintain water balance and prevent desiccation, while also acting as signaling molecules in mate recognition and chemical communication. Because the synthesis of these hydrocarbons in insect oenocytes occurs through a common biochemical pathway, natural or sexual selection on one role may affect the other. In this review, we explore how ecological divergence in insect CHCs can lead to divergence in mating signals and reproductive isolation. We suggest that the evolution of insect CHCs may be ripe models for understanding ecological speciation.
Task force report: Scales for screening and evaluating tremor: Critique and recommendations (2013)

The Movement Disorder Society established a task force to review rating scales for the assessment of tremor. Screening instruments used in identifying patients with tremor were also reviewed. Seven tremor severity scales, six activities of daily living (ADL)/disability scales, four quality-of-life scales, and five screening instruments were identified by searching PubMed.gov. The availability, use, acceptability, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change were reviewed for each scale; and each scale was classified as recommended, suggested or listed based on whether 3, 2, or 1 of the following criteria were met: (1) used in the assessment of tremor (yes/no), (2) used in published studies by people other than the developers (yes/no), and (3) successful clinimetric testing (yes/no). Five tremor severity scales (the Fahn-Tolosa-Marin Tremor Rating Scale, the Bain and Findley Clinical Tremor Rating Scale, the Bain and Findley Spirography Scale, the Washington Heights-Inwood Genetic Study of Essential Tremor Rating Scale, and the Tremor Research Group Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale), one ADL/disability scale (the Bain and Findley Tremor ADL Scale), one quality-of-life scale (the Quality of Life in Essential Tremor Questionnaire), and one screening instrument (the Washington Heights-Inwood Genetic Study of Essential Tremor Rating Scale, version 1) are recommended using these criteria. However, all scales need a more comprehensive analysis of sensitivity to change in order to judge their utility in clinical trials and individual patient assessments. The task force recommends that further work with existing recommended scales be performed as opposed to the development of new tremor scales.
Myrosinase activity of cruciferous vegetables (1984)

Abstract Myrosinase activity in partially purified extracts of 12 cruciferous vegetables and an acetone powder preparation of Sinapis alba L. (white mustard) was determined by the initial rate of glucose formation from glucosinolate hydrolysis using a coupled assay. Of the species studied Raphanus sativus L. (radish, 12.8±0.7 μmol min −1 g −1 powdered tissue) had the greatest myrosinase activity, and Brassica campestris L. ssp. rapifera (turnip) and Nasturtium officinalis R.Br. (watercress) (0.6±0.1 and 0.8±0.03 μmol min −1 g −1 powdered tissue respectively) the least. The sub‐species of Brassica oleracea studied all had similar myrosinase activity ( ca 2.5±0.2μmolmin −1 g −1 powdered tissue) except B. oleracea L. var. gemmifera D.C. (Brussels sprouts) and B. oleracea L. var. capitata L. (white cabbage) which had higher activities (7.6±0.1 and 5.2±0.2μmol min −1 g −1 powdered tissue respectively). The effect of ascorbate concentration upon the myrosinase activity of six of the crucifers studied and the white mustard preparation, revealed that the ascorbate concentration necessary to promote maximal activity varied with species. A concentration of 0.9m M ascorbate maximally activated radish and turnip myrosinase, while red cabbage, watercress, white mustard and Brussels sprouts were maximally activated at 2.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 0.7–1.0m M ascorbate respectively. Two peaks of maximal myrosinase activity, occurring between 0.9 and 1.0m M and at 3.0m M ascorbate, were found for B. oleracea L. var. botrytis L. subvar. cauliflora D.C. (cauliflower).
Evidence for the Therapeutic Efficacy of Either Mild Hypothermia or Oxygen Radical Scavengers after Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (2013)

Repetitive brain injury, particularly that occurring with sporting-related injuries, has recently garnered increased attention in both the clinical and public settings. In the laboratory, we have demonstrated the adverse axonal and vascular consequences of repetitive brain injury and have demonstrated that moderate hypothermia and/or FK506 exerted protective effects after repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) when administered within a specific time frame, suggesting a range of therapeutic modalities to prevent a dramatic exacerbation. In this communication, we revisit the utility of targeted therapeutic intervention to seek the minimal level of hypothermia needed to achieve protection while probing the role of oxygen radicals and their therapeutic targeting. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to repetitive mTBI by impact acceleration injury. Mild hypothermia (35 °C, group 2), superoxide dismutase (group 3), and Tempol (group 4) were employed as therapeutic interventions administered 1 h after the repetitive mTBI. To assess vascular function, cerebral vascular reactivity to acetylcholine was evaluated 3 and 4 h after the repetitive mTBI, whereas to detect the burden of axonal damage, amyloid precursor protein (APP) density in the medullospinal junction was measured. Whereas complete impairment of vascular reactivity was observed in group 1 (without intervention), significant preservation of vascular reactivity was found in the other groups. Similarly, whereas remarkable increase in the APP-positive axon was observed in group 1, there were no significant increases in the other groups. Collectively, these findings indicate that even mild hypothermia or the blunting free radical damage, even when performed in a delayed period, is protective in repetitive mTBI.
Textbook of Otolaryngology (1973)

This well-known, well-established textbook adequately fulfills the authors' aims in producing a basic source of otorhinolaryngologic information for the medical student, general practitioner, and first-year resident in the specialty. It is broad in coverage and concise, and it emphasizes normal anatomy, physiology, and accepted therapy for common disorders. The book includes a lucid description of the mechanisms of normal hearing as well as the pathophysiology of certain hearing losses. The assessment of hearing with various audiological tests, the use of tuning forks, and masking are clearly explained. A refreshing look at the vestibular examination, cerebellar tests, and nystagmus is valuable. Particularly beneficial are the names and addresses of some hearing societies in the United States, useful as a source of guidance and referral for the hearing impaired. Cancers are treated in a simple straightforward manner, with the most common carcinomas carefully described and a brief survey of the statistically less-important
A gun recoil system employing a magnetorheological fluid damper (2012)

This research aims to design and control a full scale gun recoil buffering system which works under real firing impact loading conditions. A conventional gun recoil absorber is replaced with a controllable magnetorheological (MR) fluid damper. Through dynamic analysis of the gun recoil system, a theoretical model for optimal design and control of the MR fluid damper for impact loadings is derived. The optimal displacement, velocity and optimal design rules are obtained. By applying the optimal design theory to protect against impact loadings, an MR fluid damper for a full scale gun recoil system is designed and manufactured. An experimental study is carried out on a firing test rig which consists of a 30 mm caliber, multi-action automatic gun with an MR damper mounted to the fixed base through a sliding guide. Experimental buffering results under passive control and optimal control are obtained. By comparison, optimal control is better than passive control, because it produces smaller variation in the recoil force while achieving less displacement of the recoil body. The optimal control strategy presented in this paper is open-loop with no feedback system needed. This means that the control process is sensor-free. This is a great benefit for a buffering system under impact loading, especially for a gun recoil system which usually works in a harsh environment.
OPPRESSION OF MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS- REFLECTIONS ON BLISSET v DANIEL (2012)

The leading modern case on the law relating to the rights of minority shareholders is the decision of the House of Lords in O’Neill v Phillips, in which Lord Hoffmann, giving the only speech, appeared to place heavy reliance upon the seminal speech of Lord Wilberforce in Re Westbourne Galleries Ltd. The main purpose of this article is to compare and contrast the reasoning of Lord Hoffmann with that of Lord Wilberforce. It is proposed to begin with a close look at the old case of Blisset v Daniel, and to analyse the use to which that authority was put by Lord Hoffmann and Lord Wilberforce. It is proposed to conclude by considering the question whether the reasoning of Lord Hoffmann in O’Neill v Phillips is, or was indeed ever meant by him to be, of general or wide application.
A Real-Time SNR Estimator for D-MPSK over Frequency-Flat Slow Fading AWGN Channels (2006)

We present a channel SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) estimator for D-MPSK (differential M-ary phase shift keying) in AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise). The estimator is shown to have the following advantages: (1) the estimator has a compact fixed-point hardware implementation; (2) it requires only 1 sample/symbol; (3) accurate estimates can be generated in real-time; (4) the estimator is resistant to imperfections in the AGC (automatic gain control) circuit. We investigate the proposed estimator theoretically and through simulations. General formulas are developed for SNR estimation in the presence of frequency-flat slow fading, and specific results are presented for Nakagami-m fading. The proposed estimator is then compared to other SNR estimators, and it is shown that the proposed method requires less hardware resources while at the same time providing superior performance. Finally, we briefly consider application of the proposed SNR estimator to SNR estimation in coherent M-PSK receivers when carrier synchronization has not been achieved.
Effects of<i>Pseudomonas chlororaphis</i>on<i>Pythium aphanidermatum</i>and Root Rot in Peppers Grown in Small-scale Hydroponic Troughs (2003)

The ability of Pseudomonas (Ps.) chlororaphis isolate Tx-1 to suppress Pythium aphanidermatum and control root rot was investigated in sweet peppers grown in small-scale hydroponic trough units with recirculating nutrient solution. The agent was introduced to the nutrient solution 3 days after the peppers were inoculated with P. aphanidermatum, or 4 days before and 3 days after inoculation, or 4 days before and 3 and 10 days after. Controls either received no agent or pathogen, or the agent only (applied once, 4 days before the time of pathogen inoculations), or the pathogen only. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with repetitions beginning in January, March, and May. Severity of root browning associated with P. aphanidermatum, in the absence of Ps. chlororaphis, increased in the first, second and third repetitions, respectively, to 74% at 21 days, 28% at 21 days, and 68% at 11 days. In treatments with one, two, or three applications of Ps. chlororaphis, respectively, areas under root browning progress curves were reduced by 18-48%, 50-73%, and 62-79% compared to the pathogen controls, and recovery incidence of the pathogen from roots at 21 days after inoculation was reduced by 14-47%, 62-82%, and 60-89%. Roots not inoculated with P. aphanidermatum were whitish and not colonized by the pathogen. Density of Ps. chlororaphis in treated plants was usually 2×103-1.2×105 cfu g−1 fresh roots. The Ps. chlororaphis treatments almost invariably prevented reductions in plant height, leaf area, fresh mass and dry mass of the shoots and of the roots, and root volume associated with P. aphanidermatum and root browning. It is concluded that Ps. chlororaphis Tx-1 strongly antagonized P. aphanidermatum in the pepper roots and that the agent has considerable potential for controlling root rot and maintaining productivity in commercial hydroponic peppers.
ChemInform Abstract: Adiabatic Photochemistry of o,o′‐Dibenzenes. (1988)

Abstract From the kinetics of the thermolysis of anti‐dibenzene (III) in cyclohexane and acetone the activation parameters are deduced (those for syn‐dibenzene (V) are taken from the literature); the quantum yields of the photolysis to give excited benzene (IV) are determined for both (III) and (V).
Effect of Adding Process Residues on the Physical Properties and Composition of Asphalt Cements (1986)

Abstract The effect of adding residues obtained under various processing conditions to asphalt cements has been investigated. Results show that from 8 to 14 wt % of a process residue can be blended with asphalt cement to produce an asphalt blend of 85-100 penetration. The amount of process residues that can be added increases with decreasing severity of processing conditions. Asphalt properties have been correlated in terms of composition (saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes) as well as average molecular weight of the asphaltenes and maltenes determined by gel permeation chromatography. The results are compared with two virgin asphalt cements.
Diet of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Megadyptes Antipodes, South Island, New Zealand, 1991_1993 (1997)

Stomach samples were collected by using the water-flushing technique from Yellow-eyed Penguins Megadyptes antipodes from the south-east coast of the South Island, New Zealand.One hundred and ninetyeight samples were collected from 86 individuals during four breeding seasons from February 1991 to December 1993.Unworn otoliths were used to reduce bias in prey biomass calculations.Forty-three types of prey were identified, including 37 fish species, four cephalopod species and several crustacean species.Seven species (six fish and one squid) constituted 90% of the estimated biomass and 60% of the total prey number, and all fish comprised 90% of diet biomass and 80% of prey number.Opalfish Hemerocoetes monopterygius, a demersal (bottom-dwelling) species, was the most important component of the diet in terms of the total biomass, numbers and frequency at which it was eaten.Other important biomass components included demersal species and species often found near the bottom, such as Blue Cod Parapercis colias, Arrow Squid Nototodarus sloani, Silverside Argentina elongata and Red Cod Pseudophycis bachus, although pelagic prey such as Sprat Sprattus antipodum and krill Nyctiphanes australis were also eaten.Mean lengths of the main prey species were 5-17 cm and most prey items were < 25 cm long.There was significant temporal variation in diet composition for several prey species, such as increased proportions of Red Cod and Opalfish, and decreased Blue Cod and Arrow Squid in 1992/93.This coincided with a year of improved breeding success.Individual variation in diet may reflect differing foraging ranges.Nests with adults that were sampled for diet had lower breeding success than other nests.
Characterization and quantification of copper sulfate-induced vascularization of the rabbit cornea. (1988)

A model of angiogenesis in the rabbit cornea, with reproducible onset and duration of responses, was developed by using CuSO4 as the angiogenic stimulus. The vascularization of the cornea was quantified by means of an image analyzer. In addition, the effects of antiinflammatory compounds, dexamethasone and flurbiprofen, on the angiogenic response to CuSO4 were examined. Elvax pellets containing 10-75 micrograms of CuSO4 implanted in the corneal stroma dose-dependently induced neovascularization, which persisted for more than 64 days at the highest dose. Manual measurements of blood vessel lengths and image analysis measurements of blood vessel areas were comparable during the growth phase of vascularization, but only the image analysis measurements detected a subsequent regression phase. Therefore, the length method of measurement is only useful during the growth phase, whereas the image analysis method is useful during both the growth and regression phases of vascularization. Dexamethasone (50 micrograms, applied topically, three times a day) and flurbiprofen (100 micrograms, applied topically, three times a day) suppressed the inflammation produced by corneal implants containing 75 micrograms CuSO4. However, each drug only inhibited vascular growth by 50% during the 14 days of treatment. Although CuSO4 is not an endogenous angiogenic factor, the model presented in this report may be useful in quantitative evaluation of anti-angiogenic agents.
Wind Turbine Testing in the NREL Dynamometer Test Bed (2000)

A new facility has recently been completed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory that allows full-scale dynamometer testing of wind turbine components, from generators to complete wind turbines. This facility is equipped with a 2.5 MW motor, gearbox, and variable speed drive system to deliver shaft torque. To simulate other aspects of wind turbine loading an MTS fatigue-rated loading system is fully integrated into the facility. This will allow actuators to cyclically load the structure in a variety of ways. Enron [formally Zond] Wind Corporation has installed the first test article in the facility to help mature the Z-750 series wind turbine design. Tests include brake and control system tuning, endurance testing of gear elements and bearings, and structural testing. Some aspects of the power converter will also be tested. This paper describes the Dynamometer Test Bed and its capabilities. Also, an overview of the Zond testing program is presented.
