Research of the Transportation of Tailings Cemented Backfill in Partially Filled Pipe Flow

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In the process of mining backfill transportation, inadequate pipeline layout or filling parameters can result in decreased stability in pipeline transportation. This instability can lead to blockages or pipe ruptures, often caused by the occurrence of partial filling during the transportation process. To address the issue of partially filled pipe flow during mining backfill transportation and effectively increase the full pipe height in the transportation process, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation methods were employed to study the causes and hazards of partially filled pipe flow in the transportation of tailings cemented backfill, as well as measures to enhance the full pipe height. By introducing the Bernoulli equation to analyze a simplified transportation model, a discrimination formula for identifying partially filled pipe flow during transportation was obtained. This formula summarizes the factors influencing the full pipe height and can be used to calculate the full pipe height in the transportation process of different filling mining areas. A numerical model was established based on this formula to simulate the occurrence of partially filled pipe flow. Combining the simulation results, the operational parameters of a lead-zinc mine in Yunnan, China, were designed and improved. This improvement significantly increased the full pipe flow height and reduced the failure rate in pipeline transportation.
Do community pharmacists in Nepal have a role in adverse drug reaction reporting systems?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Community pharmacies in Nepal serve both rural and urban populations and are an integral part of the Nepalese healthcare system. These community pharmacies are run by non-pharmacist professionals with orientation training on pharmacology and drug dispensing. Graduate pharmacists' involvement in community pharmacy will help with patient counselling, dispensing of medication and promotion of safe and appropriate medicine use. Nepal has an organised pharmacovigilance system which incorporates adverse drug reaction (ADRs) from hospitals and tertiary care centres but not from the community. Involvement of pharmacists in community pharmacy will help in ADR reporting and, monitoring at community level and will help in promoting medication safety in the community. This article describes the community pharmacovigilance program in Nepal and the prospects for community pharmacists.
Low phase noise Ku band frequency multiplied and divided MMIC VCOs using InGaP/GaAs HBT technology

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A 36 GHz frequency multiplied VCO and a 1.9 GHz frequency divided VCO are presented. These are realized on an InGaP/GaAs HBT technology with low f/sub T/ and f/sub MAX/ of 30 GHz and 45 GHz, respectively. In a multiplied VCO, an LC-tuned VCO operates at 18 GHz, which is doubled in a frequency multiplier using the HBT's nonlinear characteristics. High conversion gain of about -2 dB is obtained in a small chip area, 0.56 /spl times/ 0.61 mm/sup 2/. Furthermore, high output power of -3 dBm is achieved with an SSB phase noise of -96.5 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency from 36 GHz. The frequency divided VCO using a balanced VCO and a 1/8 static frequency divider using emitter-coupled logic is presented. It shows low phase noise performance of -115 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 15 GHz and - 130 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 1.9 GHz.

Analysis of Equivalent CO2 Emissions of the Irrigation System—A Case Study

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This work aims to assess the emissions related to the useful life of the irrigation network on the campus of the University of Alicante (Spain). A life cycle assessment has been developed employing the One Click LCA software to calculate material proportion, repair rate, energy consumption, water volume, transport, and irrigation surface. This has been used in a real pressurised irrigation network, such as the one at the University of Alicante delivering water to the grass. Two potential cases which consider the pipelines made of polyvinyl chloride (variant 1) and high-density polyethene (variant 2) have also been analysed. Energy consumption had the most influence on emissions discharges (42%), followed by materials (37%) and repairs (18%) in the current water irrigation network. Variant 1 shows higher emissions produced in network materials (47%), energy consumption (27%), and repairs (24%). Variant 2 has high emissions because of energy consumption (47%), materials manufacturing and transport (34%), and repairs (17%). It has been determined that a network of disposed polyethene pipes will reduce the total Global Warming Potential emitted into the atmosphere. Materials (127.9 Tn CO2e) and energy (145.5 Tn CO2e) are the stages where the highest Global Warming Potential is produced. Other stages that also stand out are repairs (62 Tn CO2e), construction (6.3 Tn CO2e), and transport of materials (3.5 Tn CO2e). Renewable energy sources could reduce energy consumption. Variant 2 has 11% lower emissions than the current network (variant 0), making it a workable choice for infrastructure design.
„Mal in Ruhe lesen“: Wirkungen von Lärm auf das Lesen – Ergebnisse einer Laborstudie mit Beschäftigten

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

“Reading in peace”: Effects of noise on reading – results from a laboratory study with employees Background: It is a regular day-to-day requirement in many occupations to retrieve information from written material by reading. Therefore, a proofreading task was applied as one of two tasks in this study, in which the effects of different realistic sounds on cognitive performance were investigated. Method: Seventy participants worked on a self-developed reading task, once in a silent condition and once in a condition with one of three background sounds. The sounds, which were kindly provided for this study by other institutions, were recordings from a checkout at a fashion retailer, a multi-space office and a construction site. Thus, the sample for this study consisted of three sound groups. In addition, all participants gave subjective assessments referring to the processing of the tasks with respect to four different aspects. Results: For the entire group, the analysis showed the tendency of a lower number of correctly finished items in the sound condition than in the silent condition. The results were different in the separate sound groups. The subjective assessments showed higher experienced effort and disturbance as well as lower self-assessed concentration in the sound condition than in the silent condition. Conclusions: Adverse effects of background sounds on reading performance were detectable, and they were different in the three sound groups. However, clearer effects were identified for the subjective assessments, i.e., when persons were questioned about their impressions. This underlines the importance of asking people affected by noise, in order to get an insight how the interfering effects are experienced. More detailed survey tools would be required to find out more about the sound characteristics which are responsible for particular effects.

Symptomatic Improvement After AV Nodal Ablation and Pacemaker Implantation for Refractory Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Symptomatic Improvement was evaluated in 64 patients with drug-refractory atrial fibril lation or atrial flutter who underwent atrioventricular (AV) nodal ablation and permanent pacemaker implantation. The arrhythmias were chronic in 40 patients and paroxysmal in 24 patients. All were refractory to multiple drugs (3.7 ±1.5) and had severe symptoms: palpitations (58 patients), dyspnea (n=58), dizziness (n=38), asthenia (n=37), and chest pain (n=20). All underwent AV nodal ablation and single- (n=39) or dual-chamber (n=25) pacemaker implantation. During follow-up of 20.4 ± 17.8 months, palpitations improved in 100% of 58 patients who had palpitations before the ablation, dyspnea improved in 75% of 58 patients, chest pain in 95% of 20 patients, asthenia in 75% of 37 patients, and dizziness in 93% of 38 patients. Moderate to significant improve ment in these symptoms was reported in 83% of patients and mild improvement in 5%. Before ablation, 77% of patients were in New York Heart Association functional class III or IV. After ablation, 19% of patients were in the same functional classes (P<0.05). Thus, AV nodal ablation and pacemaker implantation in patients with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation or flutter was associated with significant improvement in presenting symptoms and functional capacity. A randomized, controlled study is needed to compare this form of therapy with other therapeutic modalities.
Genetic Influences in Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cell Self-Renewal

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are slowly dividing cells that undergo self-renewal division to support spermatogenesis. Although the effects of genetic background in stem cell self-renewal have been well studied in hematopoietic stem cells, little is known about its effect on stem cells in other self-renewing tissues, including SSCs. To examine whether genetic factors are involved in regulation of SSC self-renewal, we first studied spermatogenesis in different inbred mouse strains (C57BL/6, DBA/2, AKR, BALB/C and C3H) after chemical damage caused by busulfan. Spermatogenesis in the DBA/2 and AKR strains was relatively resistant to busulfan treatment, whereas spermatogenesis was diminished in C57BL/6 mice and nearly ablated in C3H and BALB/C mice. Serial germ cell transplantation experiments provided functional evidence that SSCs with the DBA/2 background expanded more rapidly than those with the B6 background. Finally, we also employed the Germline Stem (GS) cell culture technique to examine the self-renewal activity in vitro. Although genetic manipulation of GS cells has been limited to those from the DBA/2 background, we produced transgenic offspring of the C3H background by electroporation of GS cells with a plasmid vector. Our results underscore the importance of genetic factors in SSC self-renewal. Furthermore, application of genetic modification techniques to GS cells with non-DBA/2 backgrounds extends the potential of a SSC-based approach in male germline modification.
A Simple Loop for Simultaneous OTDM Demultiplexing and Clock Recovery

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A simple and stable loop consisting of a pair of concatenated electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) and 10 GHz clock recovery module is presented and demonstrated experimentally for simultaneous demultiplexing and clock recovery for OTDM networks. The 10Gb/s demultiplexed signal and 10 GHz recovered clock are successfully implemented from 80 Gbit/s and 160 Gbit/s OTDM signals utilizing the loop. The loop based on EAM-PLL can provide excellent tolerance range (> 5 dB) of the OSCR of the source laser, and the recovered clock signal exhibits low rms jitter over a dynamic input optical power range of 15 dB.
Flow and heat transfer simulation with a thermal large eddy lattice Boltzmann method in an annular gap with an inner rotating cylinder

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study, a thermal Large Eddy Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM–LES) is applied to Taylor–Couette flow simulations, allowing detailed analysis of local heat transport over a wide range of Taylor numbers, including resolved transient Taylor vortices. The challenge in thermal management of electric motors is to control the temperature in the air gap between rotor and stator due to the gap’s small width and complex geometry, in which Taylor vortices strongly influence the heat transfer. This thin gap — here simplified by an annulus — is solved for the first time by a Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method with a Smagorinsky sub-grid model. The influence of the rotational velocity of the inner cylinder with Taylor numbers from 36 to 511 — corresponding to a Reynolds number on the inner cylinder of up to 126[Formula: see text]000 — is numerically investigated. The simulations are validated on the basis of the global Nusselt number, where we find good agreement with a published measurement series, an empirical correlation and Finite Volume simulations using the SST turbulence model. Special attention is paid on predicting the critical Taylor number, which is reproduced almost exactly by Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) with LBM, whereas LBM–LES slightly overestimates and the SST model further overestimates the occurrence of Taylor vortices.

The purpose of this study is to identify the most cost-effective sources of financing for the renewal of fixed assets. One of the options for solving this problem can be leasing, which combines many effective forms and methods of investment and allows you to take into account the interests of all parties to the transaction. Materials and methods. The object of the study was the main production assets of enterprises, the subject – an assessment of the effectiveness of the use of leasing in the activities of enterprises. The informational basis of the article was made up of: regulatory and legislative materials regulating leasing activities, theoretical foundations of leasing, reporting by Dorex JSC, Internet sources. The methodological apparatus of the study is represented by the following scientific methods: economic and statistical analysis, the method of financial ratios, financial and economic analysis. Results. Thanks to such a tool as leasing, the lessee acquires the opportunity to use the property necessary for its activities without a one-time mobilization of its own or borrowed resources. Three main methods for calculating lease payments used by domestic economists are identified. In the course of the study, using the example of Dorex JSC, the optimal form of leasing was chosen, as well as a comparison of sources of financing for the acquisition of fixed assets and an assessment of the effectiveness of the use of leasing in the activities of the organization in question. Conclusions. The use of leasing can be an effective way to mobilize and expand production, allowing to reduce the tax burden and ensure the stability of the enterprise.
The Influence of Outsourcing on Company Taxation

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The issue of tax evidence is to determine who actually supports the tax burden, who is being affected by an increase of the tax volume.It was found, in the period after 1989, that if a tax is set to affect well defined taxpayers, then they often are able to pass their tax burden on others, even if the latter are not approved of the tax law.The fiscal/tax burden represents how much pressure is because of the taxes or, in other words, how heavy is the taxpayers' tax burden?So the taxpayers are trying to find solutions to reduce/decrease this burden.In this paper we intend to treat the decreasing of tax burden through the outsourcing of services and processes.This is possible after a short conceptual definition of both the notion of tax pressure and outsourcing
Green Procurement and Manufacturing, Innovation Orientation and Operational Performance: A Firm Level Panel Data Analysis

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Based on stakeholder theory and resource dependence theory, this paper constructs a conceptual model of green procurement and manufacturing, innovation orientation, and corporate operational performance. We introduce innovation orientation as a mediating mechanism to explore how green procurement and manufacturing affects operational performance. With a sample of 290 listed manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2016 to 2018, we employ content analysis to extract annual report information to measure variables, and test the model through regression analysis. The findings show that green procurement and manufacturing practice promotes the level of innovation orientation, and innovation orientation plays a partially mediating role in the relationship of green procurement practice and operational performance. This study provides empirical support for the relationship between company green behavior and operational performance, and also has important implications for the effective implementation of green procurement to enhance competitiveness of the company.
Nonlinear generation of harmonics near the focus of an acoustic lens: application to nonlinear imaging of biological media

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The use of an acoustic microscope as a method for imaging the nonlinearity of thin biological samples is evaluated. Biological tissues are simulated by liquid mixtures of well-known nonlinearity, which are placed at the focal plane between two very thin mylar sheets. The experiment consists of measuring the amplitude of the second harmonic component generated near the focal point as a function of the liquid sample used. A simple theoretical model which assumes that all harmonic generation that takes place within the sample is found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. This shows that the acoustic microscope is sensitive to the nonlinearity of the sample at the focal plane.< >
Benefits of Hepatitis C Cure With Antivirals: Why Test and Treat?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major causes of death worldwide due to infectious agents. The advent of direct-acting antivirals has dramatically improved the chance of HCV elimination, even for patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Along with HCV cure, benefits are recognized in terms of regression of liver fibrosis and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, beyond hepatic outcomes, several extrahepatic benefits may result from sustained HCV eradication, including improvements in the neurocognitive function and reduced cardiovascular disease risk. Finally, there is no doubt that the individual success of direct-acting antivirals is largely contributing to halt HCV transmission globally, in the absence of an effective HCV prophylactic vaccine.
Orthostatic Hemifacial Spasm, Trigeminal Paresthesias, and Pulsatile Tinnitus in the Setting of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (P11-4.003)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective:

N/A

Background:

Hemifacial spasm and trigeminal paresthesias are rarely seen in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), with no previous documentation of their cooccurrence in this condition. In this unique case, we treated a patient with IIH with symptoms of hemifacial spasm, trigeminal paresthesias, and pulsatile tinnitus. Symptoms appeared only upon standing and remitted with sitting.

Design/Methods:

A 46 year old woman with a six year history of IIH presented with pulsatile tinnitus, painless hemifacial spasm, and paresthesias isolated to her right lower face (V3) that occurred exclusively when moving from a sitting to a standing position. Episodes occur several times daily, last for 60 seconds, and remit immediately upon sitting. VA was 20/20; optic discs were swollen, confirmed by optical coherence tomography. Head MRI and IAC MRI with special attention to the posterior fossa were unremarkable.

Results:

N/A

Conclusions:

Orthostatic hemifacial spasm, trigeminal paresthesias, and pulsatile tinnitus together in the setting of IIH have not been previously reported. This case adds to the spectrum of occult symptoms occurring in IIH, thus improving rare symptom recognition and patient outcomes. The dynamics of anatomic shift and volume redistribution in the context of these symptoms will be discussed. Disclosure: Ms. Patrick has nothing to disclose. Miss Kleinbart has nothing to disclose.

Deception: a critical discourse analysis of undercover policing and intelligence operations in Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper takes as its starting point the contention that media representations of crime and policing, and undercover policing in particular, matter. Through a multimodal critical discourse analysis this paper explores the representations of undercover policing and intelligence operations in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The paper contends that despite its status as science fiction The Clone Wars engages with several of the real-life practices and challenges of undercover policing and intelligence operations. The overall analysis indicates that The Clone Wars projects an important critique of the morally problematic nature of the militarisation of policing and the routinisation of deceptive undercover policing practices. The paper concludes with a reflection on the consequences of this depiction, arguing that for those practitioners who are willing to engage with representations of their craft in popular culture there are valuable practical lessons to be learned from such fictional accounts.
