Analysis of Debris Trajectories at the Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) Facility

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Sandia National Laboratories operates the Scaled Wind Farm Technology Facility (SWiFT) on behalf of the Department of Energy Wind and Water Power Technologies Office. An analysis was performed to evaluate the hazards associated with debris thrown from one of SWiFT’s operating wind turbines, assuming a catastrophic failure. A Monte Carlo analysis was conducted to assess the complex variable space associated with debris throw hazards that included wind speed, wind direction, azimuth and pitch angles of the blade, and percentage of the blade that was separated. In addition, a set of high fidelity explicit dynamic finite element simulations were performed to determine the threshold impact energy envelope for the turbine control building located on-site. Assuming that all of the layered, independent, passive and active engineered safety systems and administrative procedures failed (a 100% failure rate of the safety systems), the likelihood of the control building being struck was calculated to be less than 5/10,000 and ballistic simulations showed that the control building would not provide passive protection for the majority of impact scenarios. Although options exist to improve the ballistic resistance of the control building, the recommendation is not to pursue them because there is a low probability of strike and there is an equal likelihood personnel could be located at similar distances in other areas of the SWiFT facility which are not passively protected, while the turbines are operating. A fenced exclusion area has been created around the turbines which restricts access to the boundary of the 1/100 strike probability. The overall recommendation is to neither relocate nor improve passive protection of the control building as the turbine safety systems have been improved to have no less than two independent, redundant, high quality engineered safety systems. Considering this, in combination with a control building strike probability of less than 5/10,000, the overall probability of turbine debris striking the control building is less than 1/1,000,000.
Lasing and Intermode Correlation of Whispering Gallery Mode in Dye-Doped Polystyrene Microsphere

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We study the lasing behavior and photo induced quenching of dye doped polystyrene microspheres with diameter ranging from 10 μ to 92μ. Lasing of the spherical cavity modes is clearly observed. Emission from individual sphere placed on a glass plate is examined under the pumping of nanosecond pulses which are tuned to the absorption band of the dye. Intensity of each lasing line is strictly controlled by additional irradiation of monochromatic laser which can couple to resonance modes of the cavity. The line intensity plummets down when the additional beam frequency matches to the resonances of the modes which have the same radial profile of relevant mode.
A Split and Merge Based Plane Segmentation Method with Octree Data Structure for Unorganized Point Cloud Data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In recent years, point cloud data have been used frequently in robotic applications. It is considered that the segmentation of that data is the first step in solving several problems such as scene and object classification. In this study, it is aimed to the segmentation of planar surfaces such as ceiling, floor, and walls via unorganized point cloud data captured with 3D laser scanner in indoor environments. To achieve that, firstly, the unorganized point cloud data is converted to organized point cloud data with octree data structure and the relation between neighbor points is defined. Then, a split and merge based segmentation method, which uses that relation, is proposed. The Fukuoka indoor laser dataset with different noise levels obtained with a 3D laser scanner was used to test the efficiency of the proposed methods. The proposed method was compared with the RANSAC and region growing methods in terms of segmentation accuracy and robustness against the noise.
An examination of the relationship between height, height dissatisfaction, drive for thinness and muscularity, and eating disorder symptoms in north American women

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Recent research has evidenced the importance of height dissatisfaction in male body image, however the impact of height on body image in women remains relatively unexplored. Our study aimed to investigate the association between height, heightdissatisfaction, body dissatisfaction, and eating disorder symptoms in a sample of 139 women from the USA. Participants were recruited using Amazon's MTurk and reported their actual and ideal height, as well as completing measures of height dissatisfaction, and drive for thinness, drive for muscularity, and eating disorder symptoms. A paired sample t-test was utilised to examine differences in participants’ actual and ideal height. Additionally, linear hierarchical multiple regression was used to assess whether height, eating disorder symptoms, drive for thinness, and drive for muscularity uniquely predicted height dissatisfaction, and significant interactions were explored using a simple slope analysis complemented with a Johnson-Neyman analysis. Results showed that 48.92% of women reported identical actual and ideal height, 33.09% of women wanted to be taller, and 13.67% wanted to be shorter than their actual height. Additionally, shorter women tended to report greater height dissatisfaction, and higher levels of drive for thinness and drive for muscularity were associated with increased height dissatisfaction. However, eating disorder symptoms did not uniquely account for significant variance in height dissatisfaction once accounting for drive for thinness and muscularity. Our exploratory analysis also revealed that for taller than average women, height dissatisfaction was more strongly predicted by drive for muscularity, thus implicating the significance of height and muscle dissatisfaction for taller women. Overall, our study demonstrated that height and height dissatisfaction are important components to the theoretical construct of women’s body image, and therefore should be integrated into theoretical models of female body dissatisfaction and considered in assessment, formulation, and treatment of body image-related disorders. Further research with larger and more diverse samples, including clinical populations, is warranted to validate and extend our findings.

The impact of corporate sustainable management activities on customer satisfaction and loyalty in the port sector : an empirical study on Singapore container port (PSA)’s non-shipping line users

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

With the vast growing popularity of sustainability activities, the port sectors have also been encouraged to integrate these activities in their business strategy. This report aims to fill the gap in evaluating the actual correlation and benefit arising from the implementation of Corporate Sustainable Management Activities (CSMA). The CSMA discussed in this report consists of three main pillars: Economic (EC), Social (SO) and Environment (EN). This main objective is to study the impact of CSMA on Customer Satisfaction (CS), Customer Loyalty (CL) and Company Reputation (CR). The main evaluation of objective in the report were constructed through five main hypotheses: H1 – there is a positive relationship between CS and CL in container port H2 – there is a positive relationship between CSMA and CS in container port H3 – there is a positive relationship between CSMA and CL in container port H4 – there is a positive relationship between CSMA and CR in container port H5 – there is a mediating effect of CS and CR on impact of CSMA on CL in container port. A comprehensive interview was conducted with port operator to study more on the current CSMA practices and their intentions. On another hand, survey questionnaire were sent out to port users to gather some insights on their perception and awareness of CSMA. These inputs were then compared and analyzed quantitatively using Regression Analysis to study the potential correlation and strength of relationship among CSMA, CS, CL and CR. The findings from the data analysis supported H1, H2, H3 and H4 in concluding that there is a positive correlation between CSMA, CS, CL and CR. However, the strength of the relationship is ranging from weak to moderate. Additionally, the social pillar has the most impact on all CS, CL and CR. It was also discovered that there were mediating effect from both CS and CR in explaining impact of CSMA to CL. However, due to the low response rate, the generalization of findings should be done with caution. Furthermore, the comparison across port sector (container and multi-purpose) were made to study the trend on those hypotheses tested. This report also discusses academic and managerial implications which offered more insights for further studies and a glimpse for port managers to make informed decision related to this topic. Keywords: Corporate Sustainable Management Activities, Customer Satisfaction, Customer Loyalty, Company Reputation, Container Port, Non-Shipping Lines Users.

Polarization Singularity Explosions in Tailored Light Fields

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Complex propagation dynamics of higher‐order polarization singularities are investigated within tailored Poincaré beams. Spatial polarization modulation and additional phase vortices of higher strength are combined, evoking polarization singularity splitting, type conversion, creation and annihilation. These phenomena form singularity “explosions” along their longitudinal evolution. These dynamics of propagating customized light fields and embedded singularities are analyzed experimentally and numerically. Furthermore, similarities of polarization singularity explosion and phase vortex unfolding are discussed, exploring fundamental propagation and spatio‐temporal interaction properties of optical singularities.
Effect of Additive Elements on Magnetic Properties of Die-Upset Nd-Fe-B Magnets

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Anisotropic Nd-(Fe, Co)-B-M(M=Ga, Hf, Zr, Al, Zn, Nb, Ta, Dy and Fe) magnets were prepared by melt-spinning and hot deformation (die-upsetting). Intrinsic coercivity and irreversible loss are dramatically improved when Ga is added. Ga is condensed in a boundary phase (1 nm in thickness) and a Nd-rich phase. Ga seems to strengthen the pinning force of domain walls at grain boundaries. Addition of Ga and substitution of Co improved the coefficient of remanence and the irreversible loss.Permanent magnet properties obtained for Nd14FebalCo15B6Ga0.75 are as follows: Br=1.20 T, iHc=1.66 MA/m, bHc=0.92 MA/m, (BH)max=274 kJ/m3. Temperature coefficient of Br is −0.067%/K (average value between 298 and 423 K) and an irreversible loss after exposure up to 453 K is 3.2% (B⁄H=−2).
SERIAL ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION IN MUSCLE OF CONTROL AND ENDURANCE ATHLETES.

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

Recently, the powerful Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) method has been developed to analyze quantitatively, globally and differentially the expression of all the mRNAs of the cells. Moreover, novel genes can be discovered by this method. PURPOSE: To identify the genes differentially expressed in control and endurance athletes. METHODS: Muscle biopsies were obtained from 11 sedentary men (mean ± SD, age: 23.5 ± 2.4 y) and 7 endurance athletes (age:23.9 ± 1.1 y). The SAGE method was performed to quantify the global gene expression profile in muscle of sedentary and endurance trained men. RESULTS: A total of 10 869 SAGE tags derived from 4 727 genes were analyzed. The genes expressed more than 0.5 percent in control muscle are mainly involved in two functions: 1) Contraction: actin alpha, troponin I, C and T, myosin light chain 2, and myosin-binding protein C; 2) Energy metabolism: ATPase 6, NADH dehydrogenase 1, 2 and 4, myoglobin, cytochrome c oxidase 1–3, creatine kinase, aldolase A, glycogen phosphorylase, enolase 3, and phosphoglycerate mutase 2. Among 123 genes differentially expressed (p ± 0.05), 73 genes, such as NADH dehydrogenase 3, splicing factor 3b, and G8 protein, were more expressed in endurance athletes. However, most of the up-regulated tags were corresponding to novel genes. On the other hand, 50 genes were down-regulated, such as tropomyosin 2, neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor, ribosomal proteins L18a, L19, S2, S27, and rasrelated C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1. CONCLUSION: The current study allows a better understanding of global muscle characteristics and the molecular mechanisms of chronic adaptation induced by endurance exercise.

The thermodynamics of solutions of some normal and branched alkanes in polyisobutylene: an investigation by gas‐liquid chromatography

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Gas‐liquid chromatography is a separation method for volatile compounds which is widely used in analytical chemistry. It is based on the partition of the components of a sample between a moving gas phase and a stationary liquid phase of low volatility, the latter in the form of a thin coating on inert support particles filling a long, narrow column. Under proper conditions, values of the standard partial molar free enthalpy of vaporization from infinitely dilute solution in the stationary phase can be obtained from retention times, as a function of temperature. Combination with the standard molar free enthalpy of vaporization of the pure compounds yields the standard partial molar free enthalpy of mixing with the stationary phase. As a method for the investigation of the thermodynamics of interactions in polymer solutions, gas‐liquid chromatography is unique in the sense that it easily yields accurate data at a mole fraction of the polymer near unity and at high temperature. Here the method is applied to solutions of some normal and branched alkanes in polyisobutylene. The results are discussed in terms of a simplified version of the Prigogine solution theory, used by Patterson et al., and in terms of the solution theory of Flory, Orwoll, and Vrij.
Vascular Anatomy of Monochorionic Twin Placentas

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Compared with dichorionic (DC) twin pregnancies, monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies (and higherorder multiple pregnancies (HOMPs) that are in part or entirely MC) have increased risks of serious complications, including fetal demise and prenatal injury to the brain, heart and kidneys (Table 27.1)1-6. This is the rationale for making the definitive diagnosis of chorionicity by ultrasound no later than 14 weeks into gestation (see Chapters 39 and 40). These increased risks are largely attributable to the fetal vascular structures of MC placentas (see Chapter 65).
Engineering Freedom? A Critique of Biotechnological Routes to Animal Liberation

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay presents a critical analysis of the claims of three biotechnological innovations to be facilitative of nonhuman animal liberation: de-domestication; in vitro meat (IVM); and human tissue research. The analysis is facilitated by the application of a conceptual model of human/nonhuman animal relations, which highlights the interconnection of hegemonic material and discursive practices in classifying the nature and purpose of nonhuman animals. The analysis therefore considers both the liberatory potential of each biotechnology, as well as its limitations, in light of its capacity to, respectively, generate novel material and discursive practices or to reproduce existing ones. The essay concludes with an extended discussion of an alternative, nonbiotechnological approach to animal liberation rooted in the ecofeminist work of Marti Kheel and Brian Luke.
Semantic function module pipeline generation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract With modular automation, modular industrial plants use a functional engineering approach, and modules enable plug & produce plant engineering. However, plant configuration is still a largely manual process and often not optimized with respect to the available information. In this contribution, we propose a system and algorithm to support the automation engineer in the process of joining together modules into process pipelines and in their optimization. Our solution is built upon an abstract semantic data model that facilitates the automated matching of pre- and post-condition of modules and of the things that are processed by these modules. The pipeline generation engine is further extended by means of an optimization and ranking algorithm, and thus enables automated inter-module pipeline generation and plant optimization. We evaluate our system by means of a simple fictional use case scenario and prove feasibility, applicability as well as the huge potential for time and cost savings.
Protein-tyrosine phosphatase activity regulates osteoclast formation and function: inhibition by alendronate.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Alendronate (ALN), an aminobisphosphonate used in the treatment of osteoporosis, is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. Its molecular target is still unknown. This study examines the effects of ALN on the activity of osteoclast protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP; protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.48), called PTPepsilon. Using osteoclast-like cells generated by coculturing mouse bone marrow cells with mouse calvaria osteoblasts, we found by molecular cloning and RNA blot hybridization that PTPepsilon is highly expressed in osteoclastic cells. A purified fusion protein of PTPepsilon expressed in bacteria was inhibited by ALN with an IC50 of 2 microM. Other PTP inhibitors--orthovanadate and phenylarsine oxide (PAO)-inhibited PTPepsilon with IC50 values of 0.3 microM and 18 microM, respectively. ALN and another bisphosphonate, etidronate, also inhibited the activities of other bacterially expressed PTPs such as PTPsigma and CD45 (also called leukocyte common antigen). The PTP inhibitors ALN, orthovanadate, and PAO suppressed in vitro formation of multinucleated osteoclasts from osteoclast precursors and in vitro bone resorption by isolated rat osteoclasts (pit formation) with estimated IC50 values of 10 microM, 3 microM, and 0.05 microM, respectively. These findings suggest that tyrosine phosphatase activity plays an important role in osteoclast formation and function and is a putative molecular target of bisphosphonate action.
What are adults with IBD eating? A closer look at the dietary habits of a population-based Canadian IBD cohort

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: A comprehensive study of what individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are eating that encompasses food avoidance, dietary sugar consumption, and a comparison with the non-IBD Canadian population has not been documented. The aim was to analyze these interrelated dietary components. Methods: Food avoidance and sugar intake data were collected from 319 patients with IBD enrolled in the University of Manitoba IBD Cohort Study. Diets of those with IBD (n = 256) were compared with a matched, non-IBD Canadian cohort using the nutrition questions obtained from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). Results: Food avoidance among IBD is prevalent for alcohol, popcorn, legumes, nuts, seeds, deep-fried food, and processed deli meat, with a higher prevalence among those with active IBD. Patients with active IBD also consumed significantly more portions of sports drinks and sweetened beverages compared with those with inactive disease. Compared with the non-IBD Canadian population, patients with IBD consume significantly less iron-rich food but more milk. Conclusions: Food avoidance is common among those with IBD but may be due more to personal preferences, while sugar-laden beverages may be displacing other foods higher in nutrients. The overall diet of patients with IBD differed from that of the non-IBD Canadian population, but deficiencies were observed in both groups. Considering malnutrition among persons living with IBD, nutrition education by trained dietitians as part of the IBD team is imperative to address food avoidance and overall balance nutrition as part of treating and preventing nutrition deficiencies.
