Highly Versatile and Efficient Process for CNT Oxidation in Vapor Phase by Means of Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>‒HNO<sub>3</sub>‒H<sub>2</sub>O Ternary Mixture

Nitric acid vapor phase oxidation of carbon nanotubes using Mg(NO3)2‒HNO3‒H2O ternary mixture is proposed as a further development and significant improvement of the method employing the sole azeotropic HNO3 solution. Based on the so-called "salt effect," the addition of Mg(NO3)2 to HNO3‒H2O solution allows varying the acid vapor concentration within a wide range, even beyond the azeotropic one (>68wt%). Ternary mixture containing 20wt% Mg(NO3)2 and variable amount of liquid HNO3 (30–58wt%) is used for the functionalization process, achieving nitric acid vapor concentrations in the range 25–93wt%. The increase of acid concentration in vapor phase produces a significant augment of the functionalization degree and a linear increase of the concentration of carboxylic acids groups, which can thus be simply tuned.

Phonological and Spatial Processing Abilities in Language- and Reading-Impaired Children

In the present study, we further examined (see Kamhi &amp; Catts, 1986) the phonological processing abilities of language-impaired (LI) and reading-impaired (RI) children. We also evaluated these children's ability to process spatial information. Subjects were 10 LI, 10 RI, and 10 normal children between the ages of 6:8 and 8:10 years. Each subject was administered eight tasks: four word repetition tasks (monosyllabic, monosyllabic presented in noise, three-item, and multisyllabic), rapid naming, syllable segmentation, paper folding, and form completion. The normal children performed significantly better than both the LI and RI children on all but two tasks: syllable segmentation and repeating words presented in noise. The LI and RI children performed comparably on every task with the exception of the multisyllabic word repetition task. These findings were consistent with those from our previous study (Kamhi &amp; Catts, 1986). The similarities and differences between LI and RI children are discussed.

Meteorological predictions for the Beagle 2 mission to Mars

A general circulation and mesoscale model are used to predict the weather at the Beagle 2 landing site. The afternoon high temperature predicted by the general circulation model varies from 237 to 243 K over the duration of the primary mission. The overnight low temperature is 193 K ± 2 K. Near surface wind speeds remain below 15 ms −1 at all times. The mesoscale model predicts a wind maximum at the top of the ∼4 km deep convective boundary layer. Gravity waves are evident in the free atmosphere above the PBL. The overall weather pattern is dominated by upslope and downslope circulations, but these are modulated by changes in the large‐scale circulation.

Special Relativity properties from Minkowski diagrams

This paper has pedagogical motivation. It is not uncommon that students have great difficulty in accepting the new concepts of standard special relativity, since these seem contrary to common sense. Experience shows that geometrical or graphically exposition of the basic ideas of relativity theory improves student understanding of the algebraic expressions of the theory. What we suggest here may complement standard textbook approaches.

Challenges of female executives' work activities: the hyper-efficiency operating mode

Purpose This paper aims to examine the work experiences of female executives and the challenges of their visible and invisible work activities, considering the operating modes they develop to carry out their work activities. Design/methodology/approach This study relies on a materialist feminist perspective and a critical experientialist work theory, which considers both the visible and invisible dimensions of the work performed by female executives. The methodology is based on a qualitative research design involving individual and group interviews with 51 Canadian female executives. Findings The results reveal the hyper-efficiency operating mode mobilized by female executives, which combines strategies to take over and delegate work activities from the domestic sphere to reconcile the managerial work with their different life spheres. Originality/value A key finding emerging from these results relates to the invisible but omnipresent part of the work activities from the domestic sphere throughout the lives of female executives.

Finite Element Modeling of Chest Compressions in CPR

Factors affecting the risk of ribcage injury in adult subjects during CPR were investigated using the torso region of the THUMS model, a full human body FE-model, representing an average adult male. The thoracic dynamic response of the model was compared to experimental PMHS hub loading impact data and live-subject CPR data found in the literature. The model was then used to study the risk of obtaining injuries in various simulated CPR conditions, also varying the stiffness of the costal cartilage. Parameters that are known to predict induced injuries were extracted from the model simulations, i.e. chest deflections, and maximum 1st principal strain and von-Mises stress in the ribs and sternum, as well as the pressure in the heart muscle. These were compared with values that have been reported to have the potential to cause injury. The predictions were compared to experimental findings of the probability of CPR resulting in fractures of the ribs and sternum. The previously mentioned parameters did not reach high enough values to predict fracture occurrences, but interesting trends were highlighted with regards to the different loading conditions investigated. It was demonstrated that human body FE-model simulation studies can be useful for investigating the influence of different CPR related loading conditions on the risk of occurrences of rib and sternal fractures.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Case after Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease

Gene therapy with LentiGlobin for sickle cell disease (bb1111, lovotibeglogene autotemcel) consists of autologous transplantation of a patient's hematopoietic stem cells transduced with the BB305 lentiviral vector that encodes the β<sup>A-T87Q</sup>-globin gene. Acute myeloid leukemia developed in a woman approximately 5.5 years after she had received LentiGlobin for sickle cell disease as part of the initial cohort (Group A) of the HGB-206 study. An analysis of peripheral-blood samples revealed that blast cells contained a BB305 lentiviral vector insertion site. The results of an investigation of causality indicated that the leukemia was unlikely to be related to vector insertion, given the location of the insertion site, the very low transgene expression in blast cells, and the lack of an effect on expression of surrounding genes. Several somatic mutations predisposing to acute myeloid leukemia were present after diagnosis, which suggests that patients with sickle cell disease are at increased risk for hematologic malignant conditions after transplantation, most likely because of a combination of risks associated with underlying sickle cell disease, transplantation procedure, and inadequate disease control after treatment.

Young Teenagers and Older Sexual Partners: Correlates and Consequences for Males and Females

RESULTS: Sex at a young age with an older partner was associated with not living with a biological parent at age 14 and Hispanic ethnicity for females and males, early menarche and religious attendance for females, and black race for males. Among females and males, first sex by age 16 was negatively associated with contraceptive use at first sex (odds ratios, 0.7 for each) and positively associated with a teenage birth (1.6 and 2.9, respectively); having an older first partner was associated with poor reproductive health outcomes among females. Among females, the combination of young age and an older partner at first sex was positively associated with having a teenage birth. Among males, sex before age 16 with an older partner was associated with more than twice the odds of fathering a child as a teenager compared with the odds among those who had first sex at age 16‐17. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions should target specific teenage populations, including males, to dissuade them from having sex at a young age and with older partners. Also, prevention efforts should target potential older teenage partners and adult partners of young teenagers. Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, 2006, 38(4):197‐207

Field Assessment of Neighboring Building and Tree Shading Effects on the 3D Radiant Environment and Human Thermal Comfort in Summer within Urban Settlements in Northeast China

Shading is one of the most effective strategies to mitigate urban local-scale heat stress during summer. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of shading caused by buildings and trees via exhaustive field measurement research on urban outdoor 3D radiant environment and human thermal comfort. We analyzed the characteristics of micrometeorology and human thermal comfort at shaded areas, and compared the difference between building and tree shading effects as well as that between shaded and sunlit sites. The results demonstrate that mean radiant temperature T mrt (mean reduction values of 28.1°C for tree shading and 28.8°C for building shading) decreased considerably more than air temperature T a (mean reduction values of 1.9°C for tree shading and 1.2°C for building shading) owing to shading; furthermore, the reduction effect of shading on UTCI synthesized the variation in the above two parameters. Within the shaded areas, short-wave radiant components (mean standardized values of 0.104 for tree shading and 0.087 for building shading) decreased considerably more than long-wave radiant components (mean standardized values of 0.848 for tree shading and 0.851 for building shading) owing to shading; the proportion of long-wave radiant flux densities absorbed by the reference standing person was high, leading to a relatively high long-wave mean radiant temperature, and R 2 between long-wave mean radiant temperature and air temperature exceeded 0.8. Moreover, the directional sky view factor (SVF) was utilized in this study, and it showed significant positive correlation with short-wave radiant flux densities, but no statistically evident correlation with long-wave radiant flux densities. Meanwhile, T mrt was most relevant with SVF S⟶ with R 2 of 0.9756. Furthermore, UTCI rose two categories at the sunlit areas compared with that at the shaded areas. In contrast, T a and T mrt played the first positive role in UTCI at shaded and sunlit areas, respectively.

Stretchertainment

Driving in the city during the commute time, the traffic congestion and the traffic lights make drivers to stop to drive frequently. This phenomenon causes boredom and fatigue, and makes time to be wasted. To help mitigate the problems of boredom and lack of engagement in the car during times of traffic congestion, we introduce new domain of infotainment -- health wellness of the driver. In this study, we propose a body stretching infotainment HUD system to induce drivers to stretch when automotive stop. We analyze the qualitative data and the quantitative data based on the actual driving experiment to ascertain the usability and the expected effects.

Comment on ‘Approximate ∗-derivations and approximate quadratic ∗-derivations on "Equation missing" <!-- No EquationSource Format="TEX", only image and EquationSource Format="MATHML" -->-algebras’ [Jang, Park, J. Inequal. Appl. 2011 (2011), Article ID 55]

Abstract In (J. Inequal. Appl. 2011:Article ID 55, Section 4, 2011), Jang and Park proved the Hyers-Ulam stability of quadratic ∗-derivations on Banach ∗-algebras. One can easily show that all the quadratic ∗-derivations δ in Section 4 must be trivial. So the results are trivial. In this paper, we correct the statements and prove the corrected results.

An efficient verification of quantum circuits under a practical restriction

Recently much attentions have been paid to quantum circuit design to prepare for the future ldquoquantum computation era.rdquo Like the conventional logic synthesis, it should be important to verify and analyze the functionalities of generated quantum circuits. For that purpose, we propose an efficient verification method for quantum circuits under a practical restriction. Thanks to the restriction, we can introduce an efficient verification scheme based on decision diagrams called Decision Diagrams for Matrix Functions (DDMFs). Then, we show analytically the advantages of our approach based on DDMFs over the previous verification techniques. In order to introduce DDMFs, we also introduce new concepts, quantum functions and matrix functions, which may also be interesting and useful on their own for designing quantum circuits.

Semantic feature salience matters: new values of significance and relative weight for the Spanish feature norms for young and older adults

Abstract To determine the semantic importance of certain features has been a topic of interest for many semantic memory models. Diverse measures have been proposed in the last years. Semantic significance, the latest measure proposed by Montefinese and colleagues, is both sophisticated and comprehensive. Given the cultural and linguistic variability of semantic measures, this study presents values of significance and relative weight for the Spanish-speaking population corresponding to 400 concrete concepts. First, we presented data for both young and older adults. Second, we assessed the effect of significance on response times in two speeded feature verification tasks. Third, we compared significance values with the existing Italian significance norms. To evaluate the effect of significance to predict response times, two speeded verification tasks (Experiment 1 and 2) were carried out, selecting a total of a 130 concepts for analysis. In Experiment 1, subjects were presented with a feature followed by a concept, while in Experiment 2, the order of stimulus presentation was reversed (i.e., the concept was presented before the feature). An independent linear mixed model showed that significance was a good predictor of response latencies in Experiments 1 and 2. Moreover, results revealed a strong positive correlation between the Spanish and Italian significance values. Findings are discussed in terms of recent theories of semantic cognition.

Structurally Diverse Diterpenes from the South China Sea Soft Coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum

The present investigation of the South China Sea soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum resulted in the discovery of six new polyoxygenated diterpenes, namely sartrocheliols A–E (1, 3, 5–8) along with four known ones, 2, 4, 9, and 10. Based on extensive spectroscopic data analysis, sartrocheliol A (1) was identified as an uncommon capnosane diterpene, while sartrocheliols B–E (3, 5–8) were established as cembrane diterpenes. They displayed diverse structural features not only at the distinctly different carbon frameworks but also at the various types of heterocycles, including the epoxide, γ-lactone, furan, and pyran rings. Moreover, their absolute configurations were determined by a combination of quantum mechanical-nuclear magnetic resonance (QM-NMR) approach, modified Mosher’s method, and X-ray diffraction analysis. In the anti-tumor bioassay, compound 4 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against A549, H1975, MDA-MB-231, and H1299 cells with the IC50 values ranging from 26.3 to 47.9 μM.

Analysis of Distributed ADMM Algorithm for Consensus Optimization in Presence of Error

ADMM is a popular algorithm for solving convex optimization problems. Applying this algorithm to distributed consensus optimization problem results in a fully distributed iterative solution which relies on processing at the nodes and communication between neighbors. Local computations usually suffer from different types of errors, due to e.g., observation or quantization noise, which can degrade the performance of the algorithm. In this work, we focus on analyzing the convergence behavior of distributed ADMM for consensus optimization in presence of additive node error. We specifically show that (a noisy) ADMM converges linearly under certain conditions and also examine the associated convergence point. Numerical results are provided which demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented analysis.

Joint Beamforming and Power Control for D2D-Assisted Integrated Sensing and Communication Networks

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is an emerging technology in next-generation communication networks. However, the communication performance of the ISAC system may be severely affected by interference from the radar system if the sensing task has demanding performance requirements. In this paper, we exploit device-to-device communication (D2D) to improve system communication capacity. The ISAC system in a single cell D2D assisted-network is investigated, where the base station (BS) performs target sensing and communication with multiple celluar user equipments (CUEs) as well as D2D user equipments (DUEs) simultaneously communicating with other DUEs by multiplexing the same frequency resource. To achieve the optimal communication performance in the D2D-assisted ISAC system, a joint beamforming and power control problem is formulated with the goal to maximize the sum rate of the system while guaranteeing the performance requirements of radar sensing. Due to the non-convexity of the problem, we propose the algorithm to transform the origin problem into a relaxation form and obtain the solution. We also proposed the zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming scheme to acquire the solution that can eliminate the interference of the BS on DUEs. Extensive numerical simulations demonstrated that with the assistance of the D2D communications, our proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the baseline schemes in the system sum rate.
