Supernova Bounds on keV-mass Sterile Neutrinos

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Sterile neutrinos of keV masses are one of the most promising candidates for the warm dark matter, which could solve the small-scale problems encountered in the scenario of cold dark matter. We present a detailed study of the production of such sterile neutrinos in a supernova core, and derive stringent bounds on the active-sterile neutrino mixing angles and sterile neutrino masses based on the standard energy-loss argument.
Solid-state Laser Development for the in Situ Spectroscopic Europa Explorer Instrument

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The in Situ Spectroscopic Europa Explorer (iSEE) instrument is an ultra-compact laser-enabled Raman spectrometer instrument that meets the top-level science requirements for multiple future planetary in situ missions to explore the surface and atmospheric chemistry of planetary bodies across the Solar System. Enceladus, Europa, the Moon, Mars, and Venus are some of the primary targets for future NASA missions to search for extraterrestrial life and potentially habitable environments beyond Earth, further our understanding of the timing and formation of the Solar System, and identify potentially viable economic resources such as water and/or valuable metal assets. We report on the advancement and space flight qualification of a compact, robust, solid-state laser operating at 515 nm that serves as the excitation source for the iSEE investigation.
The Role of Hydrogen Partial Pressure in the Gas-Phase Hydrogenation of Aromatics over Supported Nickel

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The effect of varying the hydrogen partial pressure (from 0.19 to 0.96 atm) on turnover frequencies (TOFs) in the gas-phase hydrogenation of benzene, toluene, and o-, m-, and p-xylene over a Ni/SiO2 catalyst has been studied. Each system is characterized by well-defined reversible temperature related activity maxima (Tmax) where Tmax was shifted in the conversion of benzene and toluene to lower values as the hydrogen partial pressure was reduced but remained unaffected in reactions involving the isomers of xylene. The range of TOFs reported for each aromatic system and the occurrence of Tmax are explained on the basis of interplay between the supply and reactivity of active surface species. The observed relationships between reaction temperature and TOF are represented by means of a common extended power rate model. The nature of true and apparent reaction kinetics is discussed, and a compensation effect is established wherein the only reaction variable is the hydrogen partial pressure. The experimentally determined activation energies do not represent the true catalytically relevant energetics because of the existence of preequilibria to the rate-determining step. The measured Arrhenius parameters are shown to be composite terms and are pressure dependent. Catalytically significant heats of adsorption have been extracted from the reaction data, and the TOFs have been found to be inversely proportional to the magnitude of the heat of adsorption of hydrogen.
Parametric excitation of the surface cyclotron waves by nonmonochromatic electric field

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Parametric excitation of surface cyclotron waves by a non-monochromatic variable electric field is studied numerically under the conditions of weak plasma spatial dispersion and small amplitudes of the pumping electric field. By using nonlinear boundary conditions an infinite set of equations for the initial stage of the parametric instability is obtained. The effect of the considered plasma waveguide system on the instability growth rates is studied.
Soqotra: aspetti originali di una cultura isolata letti attraverso le peculiarità botaniche ed etnobotaniche

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The authors discuss some characteristic aspects of the culture of the island of Soqotra, located in the Indian Ocean, 400 Km from the coast of Yemen and the main island of a small archipelago that looks like the natural extension of the Horn of Africa. The geo-physical configuration of the island provides for a great variety of climates; consequently, its flora is extremely rich and it includes an impressive percentage of endemic species. The main source of sustenance for the Soqotri population is goat farming, since the land is not suitable for agriculture; fishing has become increasingly important after the construction of paved roads and the diffusion of modern means of transport, thus reducing the distance between coast and inland areas. Wild plants have always been very important for the survival of the inhabitants of Soqotra, who used them as remedies for both people and animals. This central role of plants is reflected in the botanical knowledge of the islanders: the different uses of plants are well known and plants that have the same uses share the same name. In the past commercial trading was extremely developed; historically trade linked Soqotra with the Horn of Africa, Egypt, Rome and India. In more modern times the commercial importance of the island stems from its strategical position in the Indian Ocean. Not only goods moved, but people too. The case of the Soqotra fishermen is often cited as an example: some of them are the descendants of ancient African settlers. Even the Soqotri language, now endangered, tells a story of ancient contacts.
Effect of Compression Ratio on Energy and Emission Performance of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Fueled with Jatropha and Karanja Biodiesel

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

In recent 10 years biodiesel fuel was studied extensively as an alternative fuel. Most of researchers reported performance and emission of biodiesel and their blends with constant compression ratio. Also all the research was conducted with use of single biodiesel and its blend. Few reports are observed with the use of variable compression ratio. Main aim of the present study is performance and emission analysis of two biodiesel for various compression ratios and explores the use of more than one blend of biodiesel with diesel. In the present study Jatropha and Karanja biodiesel was tested on single cylinder VCR DI diesel engine for three compression ratio 14, 16 and 18. Longer delay period for Jatropha fuel was observed compare with Karanja fuel, this is main reason for low NOx emission with Karanja Fuel.
Buffer management and rate guarantees for TCP over satellite‐ATM networks

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Future broadband satellite networks will support a variety of service types. Many such systems are being design with ATM or ATM‐like technology. A majority of Internet applications use TCP for data transfer. As a result, these systems must efficiently transport TCP traffic and provide service guarantees to such traffic. Several mechanisms have been presented in recent literature to improve TCP performance. Most of these can be categorized as either TCP enhancements or network‐based buffer management techniques. Providing minimum rate guarantees to TCP traffic has also been suggested as a way to improve its performance in the presence of higher priority traffic sharing the link. However, the relative performance of the TCP enhancements versus the buffer management schemes has not been analyzed for long latency networks. In this paper, we address three issues. First, we present a performance analysis of TCP over satellite‐ATM links using a best effort service—the ATM unspecified bit rate (UBR) service. This analysis shows that the relative impacts of buffer management, TCP policies and rate guarantees on TCP performance, depend heavily on the latency of the network. Second, we show through simulations that the buffer size required in the network for high TCP performance is proportional to the delay‐bandwidth product of the network. Third, we propose a buffer management scheme called differential fair buffer allocation (DFBA) and show how it is used to implement a service that provides minimum rate guarantees to TCP traffic. An example of such a service is the ATM guaranteed frame rate (GFR) service, which is being standardized by the ATM Forum and the ITU. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Resistance to Virus Challenge in Mice Infected with Protozoa or Bacteria

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

SummaryTo determine if the resistance to intracellular bacteria observed in mice chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii or Besnoitia jellisoni extends also against viruses, mice infected with these protozoa were challenged with Mengo virus. Significantly greater survival and/or prolonged time to death were noted in the protozoal infected animals when compared with controls. This resistance to viral challenge persisted in some groups of mice for longer than 1 year. Resistance to viral challenge was also noted in mice infected with Listeria monocytogenes but less marked and persisted for a shorter period of time than in protozoal-infected animals. To define a possible role for interferon, serum, peritoneal fluid, and spleens of the protozoal-infected mice were assayed for interferon levels at various intervals following initial infection. Interferon was demonstrable only during the acute stage of the infections, whereas resistance to viral challenge in the same animals persisted in some instances for more than 1 year. Freund's complete adjuvant also conferred resistance to Mengo virus for a period of 5 months. The role of persistent active infection and of humoral and cellular mechanisms as well as of interferon in the observed resistance are discussed.
Privatization of Life Insurance in India-Successful or Not?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The Life Insurance sector was privatized in India with an objective of bolstering the social security system and enhancing 'Insurance Inclusion' amongst the vast population of the country. But the private companies are commercial organization. The policies related with these life insurance companies, have always been an imperative issue for concerned stakeholders considering the corpus of fund and the underlying objective of the fund. After a decade of privatization of the insurance sector it becomes imperative to study the performance of private companies and their contribution to the economy. There is a need to study the investment pattern of private life insurance companies and the trends in their performance individually, as well as against the industry. The given research is an empirical effort to analyze the performance of life insurance companies in India in the post insurance liberalization era.
Discernment, Contiguous Inspirations and Knowledge of Health Risks Associated with Alcohol Consumption among Literate Young Adults: An Exploratory and Investigatory Study Approach

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The consequences of consuming alcoholic beverages are enormous. There are health related complications, both severe and chronic conditions that are linked to excessive alcohol consumption. In Nigeria, previous studies exploring alcoholism among students have focused primarily on its implications on academic outcomes. Also, there are few specific contemporary studies that have explored the mix-methods in establishing predictors of alcoholism among students in Nigeria. Against these backdrops, this study reconnoitered the correlation between discernment, contiguous inspirations and knowledge of health risks associated with alcohol consumption among young literate adults. Quantitative data were sourced from 400 systematically, randomly and proportionally sampled students from University of Ilorin, Federal Polytechnic Offa and Kwara State College of Education. Qualitative data were explored through the conduction of 10 In-depth Interviews across the studied institutions. The Stata version 14 was adopted. Results of the Correlation matrix showed an existence of weak strength (r<0.5) together with both inverse and direct coefficient of analysed explanatory and response variables in the study. Results of the rank-ordered logistics showed students’ knowledge of health risks of alcohol was significantly associated with discernment (ß= -0.608, p<0.01; ß= 0.456, p<0.01; ß= -0.557, p<0.01; ß= -0.465, p<0.01) and contiguous inspirations (ß= -0.797, p<0.01; ß= 1.079, p<0.01; ß=-1.157, p<0.001). Outcomes of the qualitative study revealed that students consumed alcoholic drinks despite having knowledge of its negative implications. This study concluded by empirically instituting contiguous inspirations and discernment as the key predictors of alcohol consumption among young literate adults in Kwara State, Northcentral Nigeria.
Label-free cellular manipulation and sorting via biocompatible ferrofluids

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We present a simple microfluidic platform that uses biocompatible ferrofluids for the controlled manipulation and rapid separation of both microparticles and live cells. This low-cost platform exploits differences in particle size, shape, and elasticity to achieve rapid and efficient separation. Using microspheres, we demonstrate size-based separation with 99% separation efficiency and sub-10-μm resolution in <45 s. We also show continuous manipulation and shape-based separation of live red blood cells from sickle cells and bacteria. These initial demonstrations reveal the potential of ferromicrofluidics in significantly reducing incubation times and increasing diagnostic sensitivity in cellular assays through rapid separation and delivery of target cells to sensor arrays.

Childrens’ beliefs about the human circulatory system

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This exploratory study was aimed at uncovering childrens' beliefs and ideas about the human circulatory system. Thirty-two subjects, aged from 7 to 14 years, were interviewed using a modification of Piaget's Clinical Method. The data were analysed by developing a "conceptual inventory" of beliefs for each of five research questions. It was found that the interview methodology was effective in ascertaining these belief structures. Many children were found to possess similar beliefs about certain aspects of the circulatory system. Developmental trends were also evident from the data collected. It was found that many of the beliefs from this study paralleled the ancient scientific ideas about this system. It is felt that the beliefs uncovered in this study will aid the educational community by providing an insight into some of the "typical" ideas that children bring to the classroom.
Ultrastructural Examination of Urinary Sediment: Value in Renal Amyloidosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Examination of urinary sediment has been recommended as a useful diagnostic aid for renal amyloidosis. This procedure was evaluated in the cases of 57 patients, including 11 with proven renal amyloidosis and 13 considered very likely to have the disease. At least three types of urinary fibrillar material were observed: 10-12-nm-diameter fibrils similar to amyloid; 7-10-nm-diameter fibrils with characteristics of intracellular tonofibrils; and 15-30-nm-diameter fibrils suggestive of fibrin tendrils. Only four of 24 patients who had renal amyloidosis proven or suspected had amyloid-like fibrils in the urinary sediment, while four control patients, including three with diabetic nephropathy, had similar fibrils. Sixty-eight per cent of all urines contained material consistent with tonofibrils. Ultrastructural examination of urinary sediment as a diagnostic aid for renal amyloidosis lacks sensitivity and specificity and has very limited clinical value.

The Formulation, Preparation, and Evaluation of Celecoxib Nanosuspensions: Nanosizing via High-Pressure Homogenization and Conversion of the Nanosuspensions into Dry Powders by Spray Drying and Freeze Drying

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Celecoxib (CEL), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammation drug (NSAID), is categorized as a Class II drug (low solubility, high permeability) in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS). The aim of this study is to develop a novel formulation of CEL nanosuspensions in the form of dried powder for tableting or capsuling. In this study, CEL was formulated into nanosuspensions to improve its solubility. CEL nanosuspensions were prepared using the precipitation method followed by high-pressure homogenization. Drying of the nanosuspensions was performed by spray drying and freeze drying. We examined the impact of various formulation and processing parameters on the nanoparticles. The CEL nanoparticles were characterized by particle size analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-Ray diffraction (PXRD), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and dissolution tests. The choice of solvent, stabilizer, and surfactant appeared to have significant impacts on the crystallization and particle size and, consequently, the solubility of the CEL nanoparticles. CEL chemical stability was maintained throughout both drying processes. Both spray-dried and freeze-dried CEL nanosuspensions showed rapid dissolution profiles compared to raw CEL due to the nanosized particle dispersion with the presence of a lag phase. The freeze-dried nanosuspension showed a slight delay in the first 20 min compared to the spray-dried nanosuspension, after which dissolution progressed with a lag phase that represents aggregation.

Bioethanol Production by Pichia stipitis Immobilized on Water Hyacinth and Thin-Shell Silk Cocoon

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Cell immobilization technique was applied in this study in order to examine effect of immobilized Pichia stipitis TISTR5806 on bioethanol production. Water hyacinth (WH) and thin-shell silk cocoon (CC) were used as cell carriers. Characteristics of the cell carriers were examined to explain the mechanism of bioethanol production. Carrier sizes and weights were optimized to improve bioethanol production. Moreover, stabilities of immobilized cells and carriers were evaluated. Because of high porosity, high surface area and good swelling ability of WH, cell immobilized on 1 g WH with 1 cm length produced the highest ethanol concentration at 13.3 g/L. Five cycles of a repeated batch of immobilized cell (IC) system on WH showed stable performance in ethanol production (8.2–10.4 g/L) with large numbers of the immobilized cells. The interaction between the immobilized cells and the WH surface were discovered.
