An Analytical Solution for Moving Bed Heat Exchangers via Integral Transform Methods

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A number of analytical solutions for moving bed heat exchangers (MBHEs) have been recently obtained by means of Laplace transforms. In this work, an alternative method for obtaining the analytical solution for a co-current parallel-plate MBHE is presented, by means of orthogonal expansions and integral transform techniques. This methodology provides a more robust approach for solving the problem, and opens the door to the identification of analytical solutions for more complex MBHE systems (e.g. moving beds with heat generation in the solids). To validate the solution, the expressions for the solid and fluid temperatures are explored graphically and compared with those in the literature and found to be identical.
Positive Planning in Australia: A Review of Historical and Emergent Rationales1

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The role of public land agencies in Australia has ebbed and flowed of the past few decades broadly reflecting political cycles. Initially, in the early 18970s, the Land Commission Program (LCP) was established under the Whitlam government on a rationale with two broad bases: to create more efficient and fairer land markets; and to produce higher quality design outcomes. At the end of the Whitlam era- partly resulting form objections from the private sector, government-sponsored critiques of the land program and the ideologies of conservative governments - the influence of government in land development was substantially reduced. Today, although the variety of activities of public land developers is substantially wider, there remains significant scope for increased government involvement in land development, based on the emergence of new imperatives arising from complex shifts in social conditions, community preferences and scientific knowledge. Furthermore, the imperatives that led to the establishment of the LCP in 1972 are still relevant today.
The Originality of Jacques Lacan

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Conservatism, writes Charles Sanders Peirce, the sense of a dread of consequences, is altogether out of place in science which has on the contrary always been forwarded by radicals and radicalism, in the sense of the eagerness to carry consequences to their extremes (1955:58). Simply put, the originality of Jacques Lacan lies in his radical understanding of the radicality of Freud's discovery, and in his eagerness to carry the consequences of this discovery to their logical limits. In so doing, Lacan assesses and thinks out as no one has done before him not just the significance of psychoanalysis but, specifically, the significance of the difference that it makes, of the difference it has introduced into Western culture. Lacan's originality, in other words, lies in his unprecedented inquiry into the originality of psychoanalysis. Lacan himself refers to his own originality only to disclaim it: What I have just said, he writes for example in the inaugural Rome Discourse the first important exposition of his theoretical innovations I have just said has so little originality, even in its verve, that there appears in it not a single metaphor that Freud's works do not repeat with the frequency of a leitmotif (E 260, N 51).1 And in another inaugural occasion, at the opening of the first issue of his periodical Scilicet, Lacan repeats: The originality we are allowed is limited to the scrap of enthusiasm we have adopted... concerning what Freud was able to name (1968:6). By his own definition, Lacan's originality is, paradoxically enough, nothing other than the originality of repetition: the originality of a return to Freud.
One-stage exchange should be avoided in periprosthetic joint infection cases with massive femoral bone loss or with history of any failed revision to treat periprosthetic joint infection

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aims There is a paucity of long-term studies analyzing risk factors for failure after single-stage revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA). We report the mid- to long-term septic and non-septic failure rate of single-stage revision for PJI after THA. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 88 cases which met the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria for PJI. Mean follow-up was seven years (1 to 14). Septic failure was diagnosed with a Delphi-based consensus definition. Any reoperation for mechanical causes in the absence of evidence of infection was considered as non-septic failure. A competing risk regression model was used to evaluate factors associated with septic and non-septic failures. A Kaplan-Meier estimate was used to analyze mortality. Results The cumulative incidence of septic failure was 8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.5 to 15) at one year, 13.8% (95% CI 7.6 to 22) at two years, and 19.7% (95% CI 12 to 28.6) at five and ten years of follow-up. A femoral bone defect worse than Paprosky IIIA (hazard ratio (HR) 13.58 (95% CI 4.86 to 37.93); p < 0.001) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ; HR 3.88 (95% CI 1.49 to 10.09); p = 0.005) were significantly associated with septic failure. Instability and periprosthetic fracture were the most common reasons for mechanical failure (5.7% and 4.5%, respectively). The cumulative incidence of aseptic failure was 2% (95% CI 0.4 to 7) at two years, 9% (95% CI 4 to 17) at five years, and 12% (95% CI 5 to 22) at ten years. A previous revision to treat PJI was significantly associated with non-septic failure (HR 9.93 (95% CI 1.77 to 55.46); p = 0.009). At the five-year timepoint, 93% of the patients were alive (95% CI 84% to 96%), which fell to 86% (95% CI 75% to 92%) at ten-year follow-up. Conclusion Massive femoral bone loss was associated with greater chances of developing a further septic failure. All septic failures occurred within the first five years following the one-stage exchange. Surgeons should be aware of instability and periprosthetic fracture being potential causes of further aseptic revision surgery. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(7):1247–1253.
Effects of Thermal Barrier Coated Piston on Performance and Combustion Characteristics in Dual-Fuel Common-Rail Diesel Engine

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study, performance and combustion characteristics of biogas and biogas+hydrogen mixtures were experimentally analysed and compared with baseline diesel fuel in a common-rail diesel engine with and without thermal barrier coated piston. Tests were conducted at three different loads (50 Nm, 75 Nm, and 100 Nm) and a constant speed of 1750 min-1. Engine pistons were coated with Yttria Stabilized Zirconia by atmospheric plasma spray method. Results showed that by replacing the standard pistons with the coated pistons, an increase for diesel, biogas, and hydrogen enriched biogas was respectively defined by 8.1%, 6%, and 23% in cylinder pressure, and 19.8%, 12.6%, and 25% in HRR at medium load. Similarly, there was an increase in range of 1.05-12.8% in gas temperature and 20.5-117.2% in knock intensity by the piston coating. CA10-90 was prolonged between 1-15 oCA with gaseous fuel modes and increased with the engine load. Volumetric efficiency was reduced by 0.1-4% with the gaseous fuel operations, while it was increased by using the coated piston for all fuels. Exhaust gas temperature increased with the gaseous fuels whereas showed discrepancies with the coated piston engine. Dual-fuel mode and coated pis-ton application caused brake specific energy consumption to increase significantly.
[Reverse transcription of heterologous RNA by RNA-dependent DNA polymerase from Escherichia coli].

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

The appropriate conditions for the reverse transcription of rabbit globin mRNA by E. coli RNA-dependent DNA polymerase has been studied. By reducing the ionic strength, increasing the incubation temperature from 37 to 43 degrees and predenaturing the template it was possible to increase the cDNA size. The molar ratio of Mn2+ and dNTP optimal for cDNA synthesis is approximately 1.5-1.7:1. The increase of dNTP concentration from 0.05 to 0.4 mM each, under conditions of Mn2+ deficiency, results in the decrease of the cDNA size to 4S, obviously, the inhibitory effect of dNTP is not complexed with Mn2+. The synthesis of cDNA is inhibited also by the excess of Mn2+. Hybridization of cDNA with globin mRNA protects the former from S1-nuclease. Optimization of the conditions for reverse transcription of heterologous RNa by E. coli RNA-dependent DNA polymerase led to the increase of the cDNA length up to approximately 550 nucleotides which is about 70% of the RNA template length.

The Relationship Between Epigenetics and Microbiota in Neuropsychiatric Diseases

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Microbiota might be considered as a pool for environmental epigenetic factors. Evidence is accumulating that environmental exposures - including microbes, diet, drugs - play a role in the pathogenesis of many neuropsychiatric disorders. Underlying mechanisms are complex, involving the sensitive interplay of genetics with epigenetics, neuroinflammation and the innate immune system. Modifications of microbiota affect neurogenesis and the maturation of microglia, influencing social behavior, stress-related responses and fear learning mechanisms. The excitatory neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex appear to play a key role. The mechanisms through which antibiotics administration may modulate microbiota and, therefore, behavior and neuropsychiatric disorders, may be influenced by several variables such as pre-existing gastrointestinal inflammation, the baseline microbiota composition, diet and stress perception. Probiotics, individualized diet, antibiotics and fecal transplantation could positively modulate the effects of epigenetic factors on neuropsychiatric disorders.
[The structural characteristics, alternative splicing and genetic experession analysis of ADP-ribosylation-factor 1 (arf1) in cotton].

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

The full-length cDNA,DNA and promoter of ADP-ribosylation-factor 1 (arf1) was isolated from Gossypium hirsutum Y18 by means of isocaudarner inverse PCR (II-PCR) and rapid isolating cDNA 5' unknown sequence and promoter (RICUP) established in our lab. Results indicated that the gene is 4 360 bp in size, including seven exons and six introns. Interestingly, alterative splicing occurs at intron I. Differential processing of intron 1 yields three different transcripts with 1 026 bp, 1103 bp and 1 544 bp in sizes, respectively. Arf1 encodes 181 amino acids. Sequence analysis indicated that sequence upstream transcription initiation site of arf1 includes typical initiator, TATA box, CCAAT box, GC box and several forward and reverse repeat sequences. And typical promoter structures, such as AT-rich sequence and palindrome structure have been detected in the sequence downstream transcription initiation site. Southern blot analysis indicated that the gene has two copies in the genome of cotton. Northern blot confirmed the predominate expression of arf1 in reproductive organs of cotton, including bud, flower, fiber and boll. Also, the feature and character of arf1 and its promoter have been studied. This study will lay foundation for the other research on function of arf1 in the development of reproductive organs in cotton.
Fashioning Islamic Asia: Urban Hui Muslims and Cosmopolitan Bridal Looks in Xi’an, China

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This article examines the intersections of gender, consumption, and Muslim cosmopolitanism in the emerging bridal fashions of the Hui Muslims in Xi’an, China. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Xi’an during 2015 and 2016, I analyze the visual and textual discourses surrounding urban Hui Muslims’ pursuit of a globalized Muslim lifestyle, with a particular emphasis on fashion and representations of women. I explore how the image of the modern Muslim is produced and constructed in Hui-owned bridal salons, which offer bridal makeovers and stage wedding portraiture. By focusing on the perspectives of entrepreneurs within the bridal fashion and portraiture industry, I examine the production of ideal bridal aesthetics and a cosmopolitan female piety that are intertwined with universal Muslim values. This affinity for the universal fosters a sense of superiority among the Hui in their predominantly Han context. Engaging with scholarship on Muslim fashion and vernacular cosmopolitanisms, I argue that the Hui’s adoption of cosmopolitan Muslim-ness embodies both globally circulated lifestyles and local interpretations of modesty and piety. This study of Hui Muslim fashion choices showcases a locally embedded transnational Muslim modernity and underscores the diverse ways in which individuals position themselves within their imagined Muslim ummah .
Learning through games: Facilitating meaning-making in online exchanges

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Over 60 years of scholarship have been dedicated to describing meaning-making processes through which organisational learning occurs. Recently, researchers have considered the creation of shared meaning-making through prolonged and co-located interactions situated in the context of a community. The spread of hybrid working has had an adverse impact on several of these meaning-making processes, disrupting knowledge-sharing ecosystems and organisational learning overall. In this article, we explore ways of facilitating knowledge-sharing against such disruption. To maximise the efficiency of verbal communication, we introduce Basil Bernstein’s socio-linguistic approach of learning as the emergence and consolidation of verbal codes. We trial the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method as a means of facilitating the emergence and consolidation of such verbal codes in five online workshops with manufacturing businesses. We find that the emergence of verbal codes can be facilitated through the use of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method. We also find that code consolidation is a much more spontaneous process, and we observe this in the final reflection stage of the workshops. Our study offers insights into the process of meaning-making in online exchanges and has implications for organisations seeking to manage hybrid or fully remote workforces, as well as the wider field of organisational learning.

at the university was carried out in two phases over a period of two successive academic sessions. This report focuses on the experiences and perceptions of the observers who were instructors of the two courses. Lectures were conducted via three different modes of webcasting: i) Live streaming; ii) Pre-recorded streaming; and iii) Video-on-demand. The fourth group, which is the control group received live face-to-face normal lecture. Observations noted by instructors during the actual exercise were reported back to the research team to be compiled throughout the duration of the study. Findings show that
experiences relayed by instructors who participated in the study ranged from the instructors’ state of readiness to be involved in the study to the management of students’
behaviour and the quality of network and connectivity. Lessons learned throughout the course of the study as well as some recommendations on best-practises are discussed.
Voltage Autobalance Characteristic Analysis and Clamp Circuits Design of Hybrid-Clamped Three-Level LLC Converter

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The operating principle of the clamp circuits like clamping diodes and flying capacitor in three-level LLC converter is different from other three-level converters, because the mean value of the resonant tank current is always zero and pulse-frequency modulation control is generally used instead of pulsewidth modulation control. And the converter with only the clamping diodes or flying capacitor is difficult to realize voltage balance. In this paper, the characteristics of the three-level LLC converter with single clamp circuit are first analyzed. Then, the operation principle of the hybrid-clamped circuit under the unbalanced voltages on input capacitors is described with the mode analysis, based on which the mechanism for voltage autobalance is elaborated and the effects of two clamp circuits are derived. Then, the design of the clamping diodes and the flying capacitor is also involved. Finally, a three-level LLC converter prototype is built and the experimental results verify the validity of the theoretical analysis and design.

Regulation of estrogen receptor levels in endometrial cancer cells.

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

Recent experimental results from our laboratories revealed the following facts: Addition of GMP to homogenates or cytosol prepared from endometrial tissue or cultured endometrial adenocarcinoma cells during the assay for specific estrogen binders markedly increases specific binding levels. The effect is completed in about 15 min at 4 C (Fleming et al, 1983). Cyclic AMP has the opposite effect and in many cases lowers the number of binding sites to undetectable levels. ATP, a nucleotide that stimulates a particulate form of guanylate cyclase, Na2MoO4, a compound that can elevate cGMP levels (Fleming and Blumenthal, unpublished) and GTP, a metabolic precursor of cGMP, increase specific estradiol binding in the presence of plasma membranes and soluble factors. Cyclic AMP reduces the levels of estrogen binding when added to cell homogenates or to cytosol and counteracts the effects of cGMP, MoO4, ATP and GTP. ATP is required for the expression of cGMP and cAMP effects on estradiol binding. It is therefore likely that phosphorylations are involved in the generation and inactivation of estrogen binding sites. Divalent cation requirements for these effects also suggest participation of protein kinases in these processes. The reported effects of nucleotides and molybdate have been observed in specimens of histologically normal endometrium, in specimens of endometrial carcinoma, in two endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines, HEC-1 and HEC-50 (Suzuki et al, 1980), and in two breast cancer cell lines, CG-5, a variant of MCF-7 obtained in Iacobelli's laboratory (Natoli et al, 1983), and in T47D) (Fleming et al, in press) Rapid changes in the levels of estrogen binding capacity observed in endometrial cells in culture can be associated with changes in cGMP/cAMP ratios shown, to vary during the cell cycle. Although it has not yet been demonstrated that cGMP-induced increases in specific estrogen binding can enhance responses to available estrogens, such possibility is of potential importance. Reduction of estrogen receptor levels in patients with cancers of estrogen sensitive tissues may inhibit tumor growth promoted by endogenous estrogen. Cho-Chung et al have recently reported that cholera toxin causes a reduction in estrogen receptor levels and arrests hormone dependent growth of DMBA-induced mammary carcinoma in rats (Cho-Chung et al, 1983). They postulated that the effect of cholera toxin is mediated by a cAMP effect on the estrogen receptor, an hypothesis supported by the observation that only tumors containing receptor responded to treatment. Conversely, cGMP-induced increases in specific estrogen binders may be useful in promoting a response of tumors to estr
Modelling Cellular Response to Ionizing Radiation: Mechanistic, Semi-Mechanistic, and Phenomenological Approaches – a Historical Perspective

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

Radiation research is a multidisciplinary field, and among its many branches, mathematical and computational modelers have played a significant role in advancing boundaries of knowledge. A fundamental contribution is modelling cellular response to ionizing radiation as that is the key to not only understanding how radiation can kill cancer cells, but also cause cancer and other health issues. The invention of microdosimetry in the 1950s by Harold Rossi paved the way for brilliant scientists to study the mechanism of radiation at cellular and sub-cellular scales. This paper reviews some snippets of ingenious mathematical and computational models published in microdosimetry symposium proceedings and publications of the radiation research community. Among these are simulations of radiation tracks at atomic and molecular levels using Monte Carlo methods, models of cell survival, quantification of the amount of energy required to create a single strand break, and models of DNA-damage-repair. These models can broadly be categorized into mechanistic, semi-mechanistic, and phenomenological approaches, and this review seeks to provide historical context of their development. We salute pioneers of the field and great teachers who supported and educated the younger members of the community and showed them how to build upon their work.
