Life Cycle of Products Made of Polymer Composite Materials

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The life cycles of products made of metal and polymer composite materials are considered, and their common and distinctive features are determined. Using the mirror of a space antenna (made of carbon-filled plastic) as an example, we analyze the influence of auxiliary materials on the quality indices. A technique is developed to determine the influence of auxiliary materials on the phase composition (polymer matrix content is determined by thermogravimetry). A structure for forming carbon-filled plastic products using vacuum infusion and a system for the implementation of competitive design-technological solutions are presented for the manufacture of carbon-filled plastic products.
Iterated assessment and feedback improves student outcomes

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Feedback is critically important to student learning, but the reduced frequency of assignments combined with isolated or stand-alone tasks reduces the opportunity for students to engage with feedback and use it effectively to enhance their learning. Here, I evaluate student attainment during a module consisting of eight iterated tasks where the task itself is the same but the academic content differs. At the end of the module, students then self-assess their eight submissions and select two for summative assessment. I demonstrate that achievement increases over the course of the module, and that choice is valuable in allowing students to achieve higher summative marks for the course than their formative marks would suggest. Students who performed more weakly at the start of the module saw the greatest benefits from practice and choice, suggesting that these students particularly can benefit from repeated cycles of feedback and increase their marks.
A Complete Characterization of Integral Input-to-State Stability and Its Small-Gain Theorem for Stochastic Systems

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

For stochastic systems, this article develops a Lyapunov-type characterization of integral input-to-state stability (iISS), which is truly parallel to the deterministic one. In contrast to preceding results, this article allows stochastic noise to be active globally in the state space. Deriving pathwise bounds of stochastic processes is the original key idea and it leads to new techniques to unify Lyapunov-type characterization of iISS with that of input-to-state stability (ISS). The ISS test becomes a special case of the iISS test completely, which forms a stochastic counterpart of the popular iISS/ISS framework for deterministic nonlinear systems analysis and design. The usefulness of the developed iISS/ISS characterizations is substantiated by utilizing them to consolidate stochastic versions of small-gain criteria to establish stability of interconnected systems without restricting noise effects to bounded domains. The framework of integral noise-to-state stability is also made useful by allowing the global stochastic noise.
Identification, Formation, and Predicted Toxicity of Halogenated DBPs Derived from Tannic Acid and Its Biodegradation Products

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Humic substances are commonly known disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors. Tannic acid is one precursor of humic substances in organic degradation, and it occurs ubiquitously in both source water and wastewater. In this study, the biological degradation process was simulated under laboratory conditions, and the characteristics of DBP formation generated from the chlorination of tannic acid samples with different biodegradation times were explored. Twenty-six emerging halogenated DBPs were identified, and the formation pathways of the tannic acid-derived DBPs were tentatively proposed. Moreover, results demonstrated that the profile of the chlorinated DBP formation was significantly different from its brominated counterpart during biodegradation, and a general increasing trend of the ratio of TOBr/TOX or TIIPIS79/(TIIPIS79+TIIPIS35) as biodegradation time increasing was noticeable. The observed trend could be mainly ascribed to the reactive sites of tannic acid shifting from relatively fast to slow sites during biodegradation. In addition, the comparative toxicity of the detected DBPs derived from tannic acid was predicted by using two quantitative structure-activity relationship models established previously. On the basis of both the two toxicity metrics (involving developmental toxicity and growth inhibition potency), the predicted toxicity data indicated that the emerging DBP group trihalo-(di)hydroxycyclopentane-1,3-diones may possess extremely high toxic potencies.

Smoothness of Hill's potential and lengths of spectral gaps

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Let ${γ_q(n)}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be the lengths of spectral gaps in a continuous spectrum of the Hill-Schrödinger operators S(q)u=-u''+q(x)u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}, with 1-periodic real-valued potentials $q \in L^{2}(\mathbb{T})$. Let weight function $ω:\;[1,\infty)\to (0,\infty)$. We prove that under the condition \exists s\in [0,\infty):\quad k^{s}\llω(k)\ll k^{s+1},\; k\in \mathbb{N}, the map $γ:\, q \mapsto \{γ_{q}(n)}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ satisfies the equalities: \verb"i")\quad γ(H^ω) = h_{+}^ω, \verb"ii")\quad γ^{-1}(h_{+}^ω) = H^ω, where the real function space H^ω & ={f=\sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}\hat{f}\,(k)e^{i k2πx}\in L^{2}(\mathbb{T})| \sum_{k\in \mathbb{N}} ω^{2}(k)|\hat{f}(k)|^{2}1,c>1:\qquad c^{-1}\leq \frac{ω(λt)}{ω(t)}\leq c\quad\forall t\geq 1,\;λ\in [1,a] then the function class $H^ω$ is a real Hörmander space $H_{2}^ω(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R})$ with the weight $ω(\sqrt{1+ξ^{2}})$.
Repeated Testing Sessions Do Not Influence Intrasession Variability During a Single-Leg Stop Jump Task

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

2039 Menstrual cycle research requires repeated testing over a single month. Variability within testing sessions may be influenced by familiarization of the task and not hormonal fluctuations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the intrasession variability associated with discrete kinematic variables during a single-leg stop-jump task and to validate the use of preliminary testing sessions to separate familiarization from hormonal variability. METHODS: Seven female subjects (Age: 21.4 ± 1.51 years, Height: 1.65 ± .06 m, Mass: 59.23 ± 5.46 kg) with stabilized hormonal levels due to oral contraceptive usage participated in this study. Subjects were tested at days 3, 14, and 21 of their menstrual cycles. A 3D motion analysis system was used to record raw coordinate data during the single-leg stop jump task. The single-leg stop-jump task consisted of a single-leg jump to a force plate from a distance equal to 40% of body height immediately followed by vertical jump for maximal height. Kinematic hip and knee variables were calculated at initial contact, peak posterior ground reaction force, and peak vertical ground reaction force. Coefficient of variation was calculated for each discrete kinematic variable. RESULTS: No significant kinematic differences were demonstrated between the three testing sessions. Coefficient of variation for knee rotation was significantly different between testing session 1 and 3 (100% CV, 10% CV). No other coefficient of variation differences existed. CONCLUSIONS: The single-leg stop jump does not require repeated testing to eliminate the learning effect as subjects were able to consistently perform this task throughout the menstrual cycle. Potential differences between testing sessions in subjects not utilizing oral contraceptives can be attributed to hormone fluctuations and not subject familiarity with the task.
MAPPING SUBSURFACE IN KARST TERRAIN USING 2-D ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TOMOGRAPHY

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Karst terrain is a unique and complex environment and has been a subject of increasing investigation for engineering, geotechnical, environmental, and archeological purposes. In this study, the electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) technique was used to image a test site in southwestern Missouri with the goal to map variable depth-to-bedrock and to characterize subsurface lithologic conditions. The ERT technique employed a multi-electrode resistivity system, powered by a 12–volt deep cycle marine battery, 5 feet electrode spacing, and a dipole-dipole array configuration with the intent to map the subsurface to a depth of at least 100 feet. The output, a two-dimensional (2-D) resistivity profile, was verified and constrained with active multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) data. The resistivity of the soils and pervasively fractured bedrock was observed to be mostly controlled by moisture content. Based on the moisture content, the soils and rocks were classified into moist soil (<50 ohm.m), dry soil (125 ohm.m), moist rock (≥125 ohm.m), and dry rock (≥1500 ohm.m). The bedrock surface topography in many instances appeared to depict the ground surface topographic expression.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In order to establish a technique using RT-PCR to detect potato viruses,which was rapid,accurate and sensitive,the primers for PVX,PVS,PVA and PLRV fragments were designed based on their coat protein,and a duplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(d-RT-PCR) was optimized from reverse transcription(RT) stage and polymerase chainreaction(PCR) stage.The optimized d-RT-PCR can amplify PVX,PVS,PVA and PLRV simultaneously,and the fragments were 620 bp(PVX),435 bp(PVS),300 bp(PVA), 222bp(PLRV).The result showed that antisense primer rations of two viruses,dNTPs concentration and Mg2+ concentration had great impacts on the detection.The duplex RT-PCR was also suitable for viruses detection of propotato seed both from tissue cultural factory and from naturally field growing potato plant.
Development of Motor-Driven Vibration Linear Feeder Balanced Transmissive Force.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Development of a vibration feeder was performed as one application of a vibratory machine with a self-contained vibration-reducing function by means of interference of transmissive force. The most important conditions for a vibration proof of a vibratory machine are compatibility of functions which oppose each other, reduction of transmissive force on the machine base and amplification of vibration on the body. This study deals with application of the proposed design to the feeder. The machine consists of coupling of a pair of one-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system. An excitation spring is devided as a part of a coupling spring for generation of excitation force on the two bodies. One end of the spring is excited by harmonic displacement with a reciprocating mechanism such as a crank. In this paper, we present vibration characteristics with full consideration of transmissive force and the optimum design procedure of the system. The transmissive force is reduced by 30 dB in the linear feeder which is excited by the excitation spring in the first trial.

The photochemistry of cyclobutyl methyl ketone. Part 1.—Room-temperature results and the general mechanism

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Gaseous mixtures of cyclobutyl methyl ketone (CMK) diluted in argon have been photolysed at room temperature at a variety of pressures and wavelengths in the range 325–193 nm. Both steady-state and pulsed (laser) photolyses were carried out. Conversions were limited to ca. 5% and a reasonably complete product analysis achieved (mass balance and product ratio checks). The results support the occurrence of the main primary processes: [graphic omitted]. These are followed by a set of radical–radical reactions involving methyl, acetyl and cyclobutyl radicals. The Norrish type I processes (1a) and (1b) are dominant at long wavelengths but decline at shorter wavelengths. The molecular pathway (2a) shows the converse wavelength dependence. There is some evidence for two-photon processes in the laser photolyses. A number of radical–radical rate constant ratios have been obtained.
Application of contactless electroreflectance to study the epi readiness of m-plane GaN substrates obtained by ammonothermal method

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The authors have applied contactless electroreflectance (CER) spectroscopy to study the epi readiness of m-plane GaN substrates obtained by the ammonothermal method. It has been clearly observed that the CER resonance, which is related to the energy gap transition, appears for samples with a well-polished surface. The sharpness of this resonance is directly related to the surface quality. The broadening of energy gap transition can be used as a parameter to quantify the surface quality. For samples polished with optimal conditions, this broadening (γpol) is close to the broadening observed for the cleaved GaN surface (γclev) with m-plane orientation (150–190 vs 135 meV). The quality of the polishing process can be evaluated by analyzing the γclev/γpol ratio, where γclev/γpol=1 corresponds to an excellent polishing process. In the authors’ case, this ratio has been determined to be close to 1 for well-polished samples.
Thinking About the Future

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Are America’s young people being encouraged to “dream bigger” as they do volunteer work and are drawn into community service projects? Or are they simply being kept off the street, away from the mall, and being used to per­ form tasks that nobody else wants to do?These are hard questions. But we must confront them and, one hopes, in a way that will encourage young people to benefit from their volunteer experiences and that will help teachers, clergy, and leaders of community agencies to enrich these experiences.
Subject co-ordinatorship in the primary school: Religious education, a case study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article, based on original research, looks at the work of Religious Education coordinators in primary schools in the post Education Reform Act period. It argues that they have responded remarkably well to the challenges which they have faced and in many schools have spearheaded the development of RE very effectively. It further argues that RE coordinators have constantly been frustrated by the shortage of resources, expressed mainly in terms of time and money, which have frequently been targeted on the core subjects of English, mathematics and science. Coordinators of other non core subjects will recognise aspects of this account.
Identification of Fasciola Species Isolates from Nghe An Province, Vietnam, Based on ITS1 Sequence of Ribosomal DNA Using a Simple PCR-RFLP Method

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Fascioliasis—a disease caused by Fasciola spp. (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda: Digenea)—is considered as the most important helminthic infection of bovine, sheep, and buffalo in Vietnam. The aim of this study is to detect the genotype of Fasciola spp. isolated from bovine and buffalo in the Nghe An province, central Vietnam, using PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis of the first nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS1). Adult Fasciola spp. were isolated from bile ducts of bovine and buffalo in Nghe An province, Vietnam. Overall, 96 adult flukes from livers of slaughtered animals were collected from abattoirs of different areas. They included 7 samples from infected bovine and 89 samples from infected buffalo. 96/96 samples were identified as Fasciola species by ITS1 of rDNA. In this study, a PCR-RFLP method was used to distinguish between F. hepatica and F. gigantica in ITS1 of rDNA (680 bp) with Rsa I restriction enzyme. RFLP pattern with Rsa I produced a consistent pattern of 360, 100, and 60 bp fragments in F. hepatica , whereas F. gigantica worms had a profile of 360, 170, and 60 bp in size, respectively. The results showed that using PCR-RFLP based on the first internal transcribed spacers (ITS1) of the ribosomal RNA revealed that 93 out of 96 isolates were of Fasciola gigantica type, whereas three isolates presented an intermediate Fasciola . In the present study, F. gigantica and intermediate form were coexisting in bovine and buffalo in the Nghe An province of central Vietnam, whereas F. hepatica was not detected.
Potency Analysis of Twelve Cannabinoids in Industrial Hemp via UPLC-MS/MS

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

This study validated an UPLC-MS/MS analysis method to simultaneously detect twelve cannabinoids. The concentration-response relationship for all analyzed cannabinoids was linear with R values > 0.99 using the developed method, the relative standard deviations of recovery for the three levels of spiked samples are between 66.1%~104.1%. The method was used to analyze 43 industrial hemp flower and leaf samples, with the data being statistically analyzed. The analysis results showed that the cannabinoids content varied significantly among different varieties and different pretreatment methods, sample heating treatment led to the decarboxylation of acidic cannabinoids and the mutual conversion of cannabinoids. Based on the statistical analysis of the cannabinoids, hemp from different regions and different varieties were well distinguished by the PLS-DA model, with the main contributing substances being Cannabidiol, Δ -tetrahydrocannabinol, and Δ -tetrahydrocannabinol.
B-Cell Depletion Salvage Therapy in Rapidly Progressive Dermatomyositis Related Interstitial Lung Disease.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Glucocorticoids are the initial standard treatment. However, many patients fail to respond and continue to progress despite treatment with high dose glucocorticoids. The efficacy of rituximab has been suggested in case reports and case series of refractory antisynthetase (AS) syndrome, but data on patients without auto-antibodies or with rapidly progressive ILD are scarce. We report a case of rapidly progressive dermatomyositis (DM) associated ILD treated successfully with B-cell depletion therapy.
Place and Psychogeography in Henry James’s The Ambassadors

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Following the recent spatial turn in literary criticism and the shift of focus on place, the present paper examines the special significance of place in Henry James’s novel The Ambassadors (1903) and explores the relationship between geography and psychology through the main character, Lambert Strether. Analysing the latter’s outer and inner observations draws on a close reading of the novel and the instrumentation of such theories as psychogeography and psychoanalytical criticism. Strether’s trip is an introspective voyage as much as an exploratory expedition, allowing insight into his subconsciousness through the tropes of the places he traverses. His mental visions of spaces in the novel can be surmised in terms of a psychogeography of his movements, a sort of landscape of the mind which is a reflection of the Freudian perception of the human psyche.
Exergy Analysis of a Flat Plate Solar Collector With Grooved Absorber Tube Configuration Using Aqueous ZnO–Ethylene Glycol

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

In this study, the exergetic performance of a flat plate solar collector (FPSC) setup with ZnO-based ethylene glycol (EG)/water nanofluid as a working fluid has been evaluated against that of EG/water. As a passive means to augment the rate of heat transfer, internally grooved tubes of two different pitches (e = 0.43 and e = 0.44) have been examined and compared against the performance of plain tube. The mass flow rate was fixed at 0.015 kg/s and the volume fraction of ZnO nanoparticles is ф = 0.02% v/v. The results indicate an enhancement in exergy efficiency of 44.61% when using the grooved tube (e = 0.44) against plain tube without the nanofluid and 39.17% when nanofluid is used. Using the nanofluid enhanced the exergy efficiency of the FPSC by a maximum of 73.81%. Maximum exergy efficiency obtained was 5.95% for grooved tube (e = 0.44) with nanofluid as working fluid and is in good agreement with previous literature. Exergy destruction/irreversibility due to temperature differences and heat flow within the system has been reported. Sun-collector temperature difference accounts for nearly 86–94% of the irreversibility. The results for thermal efficiency of this experimental setup have been published and summarized in this study for reference.
