Oxidation pre-treatment and electrophoretic deposition of SiC nanowires to improve the thermal shock resistance of SiC coating for C/C composites

To improve the thermal shock resistance of SiC coating for carbon/carbon composites (C/Cs) prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), mild oxidation of C/C substrate and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of SiC nanowires were used before CVD, aiming to modify the mechanical properties of SiC coating. In comparison to the pristine one, the modified SiC coating shows 73.1% and 93.5% improvements respectively in fracture toughness and adhesion with C/Cs, which endows the coating with fewer and smaller cracks and better thermal shock resistance between 1200 °C and room temperature. It has been also demonstrated that the combined pre-treatments can increase the thermal shock performance of CVD SiC coating better than individual one, which paves a way for greatly increasing the efficiency of SiC coating in protecting C/Cs against oxidation consumption at intermediate temperatures (800–1200 °C).
JOSÉ MARÍA QUIROGA PLÁ, POETA NEOCLÁSICO

Maria Quiroga Pla (1902-1955) was a Spanish writer, born in Madrid, whose work to date consists of critical essays, uncollected poems and two books of sonnets published in exile which have hardly circulated at all. After briefly visiting the avant-garde movements of the 1920’s, and despite his leftwing politics, Quiroga ended up as neoclassical poet. If the term “neoclassic” is often employed in a derogatory sense, it is here used in the noblest and most positive sense, one which the present article relates to the poet’s extensive knowledge of 19th century and early 20th century French and Latin American literature.
Fine-grain compensation method with consideration of trade-offs between computation and data transfer for power consumption

Fine-grain parallelizing method with consideration of the number of data transfers for low power consumption is proposed. In the proposed method, power consumption by data transfers between processor elements in a multiprocessor is focused on, and the number of data transfers is reduced.
 In this paper, a measure based on the relationship between variables in a given program is defined to evaluate the number of data transfers, firstly. And then a proposed compensation method by use of the evaluation of power consumption based on the measure is explained. Finally, the result of applying proposed compensation method implemented on COINS framework to several example programs is shown.

잭슨데모크라시 여전히 유효한가

Recently historiography about “Age of Jackson” mainly focused at social and cultural developments. Specially so-called social history and its effects dominate all the historical research outputs in this historical area. But Political history as traditional main field of history has not lost its importance and, futhermore, its vital reason to remain and maintain in the historical researching fields is much more required than any other one. Even though recently social history findings have the limelight, but the much more we know about these social new facts at that time, the much more we could understand and should be obliged to study main central high politics. Because all the different historical new facts are indulged and involved into the main high politics and the deeply interconnected central political people such as Andrew Jackson, central figures and their political programs are much importance than any other minor historical findings in the part of social and cultural approaches. And so, now we required traditional political history should be revival.

These interactions are sufficiently small that design of a vehicle to avoid excessive interaction should be possible. The spinning shielded satellite technique proposed here could make possible a rather accurate measurement of the curvature of space near the earth. This curvature manifests itself in a precession of the spin (the de Sitter-Fokker effect), which is about a factor of 12 larger than the Lense-Thirring effect and thus could provide a logical first step for such a program. Development of the exterior, or tender, satellite alone would offer a number of subsidiary advantages. It could be used with a dummy interior satellite ot obtain drag-free trajectories and thus provide a very accurate tool to study air drag, as well as gravitation and geodetics. By using an interior satellite with very different nuclear composition the tender could be used to establish the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass to greater accuracy.

Electroweak Corrections to fermions

The calculation of the full electroweak O(alpha) corrections to the charged-current four-fermion production processes e+e- --> nu_tau tau+ mu- anti-nu_mu, u anti-d mu- anti-nu_mu, and u anti-d s anti-c is briefly reviewed. The calculation is performed using the complex-mass scheme for the gauge-boson resonances. The evaluation of the occurring one-loop tensor integrals, which include 5- and 6-point functions, requires new techniques. The effects of the complete O(alpha) corrections to the total cross section and to the production-angle distribution are discussed and compared to predictions based on the double-pole approximation, revealing that the latter approximation is not sufficient to fully exploit the potential of a future linear collider in an analysis of W-boson pairs at high energies.
Rethinking the design paradigm for university technology projects in international development

Since the appropriate technology movement of the 1970s, technology and engineering from developed countries have played a role in international development. In recent years, universities have created graduate-level programs that look to engage students to solve challenges faced by resource-constrained communities globally by leveraging technology and innovation. These projects must balance the need for graduate students to produce scholarly research and the objective of creating impactful interventions for the world's poor and marginalized population. Furthermore, these projects must be conducted responsibly, remotely, and in fulfillment of project sponsors. This thesis explores two projects to better understand such engineering for development initiatives. The first project is a technology evaluation project that aimed to design and employ methodologies to determine which products in the "developing world" worked best. Specifically, the project's first evaluation on solar lanterns used in Uganda is described. The second project is a technology development project that sought to develop a scalable electricity grid technology platform to provide universal electricity access in India. The two projects are documented as case studies and conceptualized as design processes, specifically product development processes. Through the lens of the structured product development process, selected aspects of the cases are further explained and secondary literature serves as a basis for suggesting alternative design decisions and actions. Although the successes and failures of the two cases are not assessed in this work, the analysis suggests that technology-focused graduate-level projects in international development may explore alternative approaches that more carefully consider (1) early-stage planning, (2) contextualization of the technology focus, (3) project timescales, and (4) the intent of community engagement. Further work is needed to document and analyze the processes of other projects in this space and to understand how they vary. The product development process may be a useful tool in understanding how these projects might systematically achieve both scholarly and international development impact through the use of design and engineering.

Noncovalent protein--oligonucleotide interactions monitored by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.

Positive ion mode matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) was used to explore nonspecific interactions between proteins and oligonucleotides. The formation of noncovalent complexes showed correlation with the type of oligonucleotide bases and with the amino acid composition of the proteins. Among the four DNA homooligomers, abundant protein-nucleic acid complexes were detected for pd(T)n, whereas negligible attachment was evident for pd(A)n, pd(C)n, and pd(G)n. Mixed base sequence nucleic acids (pd(AGCTCAGCTT) and d(TTAGCAGCTT) also showed affinity to Arg-Lys. The protein affinity of pd(T)n turned out to be nonspecific and produced a larger variety of complexes when the number of basic residues in the protein was increased. Complexation of pd(T)n with small basic dipeptides (Arg-Lys or His-His) led to significant improvement in the mass resolution for positive ions. For example, the mass resolution of the pd(T)20/Arg-Lys complex exhibited about 4 times improvement over pd(T)20 alone. The protein--oligonucleotide interactions were also pH and matrix dependent. Lowering the pH from its original value (pH = 1.7) led to diminishing complex related signal, whereas increasing the pH resulted in the appearance of a larger variety of complexes. 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid matrix demonstrated much greater tendency to produce complex ions than did the three other matrix materials we tested. A possible explanation of the observed phenomena was based on pH-controlled ion pair formation between oligonucleotides and proteins.
2PI simulations in expanding backgrounds: Doing it anyway!

I set out the 2PI formalism for quantum fields in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe. I show how one can solve self-consistently for the quantum field evolution and the evolution of the cosmological scale factor, using a renormalised semi-classical Friedmann equation. In a 2PI coupling expansion truncated at O ( λ 2 ) , I perform sample calculations demonstrating kinetic and chemical equilibration in this context.
On Dynamics in a Quasi-Measurement Field

A general theory of inertia tends to be circular because momentum and therefore inertia are taken as assumptions in quantum field theories. In this paper we explore instead using position uncertainty to infer inertia with mediation by quasi-measurement interactions. This method avoids attachment to the reference frame of the source masses and is thus completely relativistic, overcoming a conflict between historical theories of inertia and relativity. We investigate what laws of motion result, and whether natural explanations for equivalence and dark energy emerge.
The Large energy expansion for B decays: Soft collinear effective theory

Effective field theories provide a simple and elegant method for calculating processes with several relevant energy scales [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Part of the utility of effective theories is that they dramatically simplify the summation of logarithms of ratios of mass scales, which would otherwise make perturbation theory poorly behaved. Furthermore the systematic power counting in effective theories, and the approximate symmetries of the effective field theory can greatly reduce the complexity of calculations. Consider as an example the semi-leptonic decay of a B-meson to aD-meson. In perturbation theory the one-loop corrections will typically be enhanced by log(M/ΛQCD), where M is a heavy quark mass. These logarithms are large enough so that αS log(M/ΛQCD) ∼ 1, and the perturbative expansion breaks down. Furthermore the nonperturbative physics in the decay process is parameterized in terms of two unknown form factors. The power of effective field theories is demonstrated when we consider our example within the context of heavy quark effective theory (HQET) . In HQET heavy particles have been removed from QCD so that logarithms in loop integrals are of the form log(μ/ΛQCD). Furthermore the complete series of leading logarithms α s log (μ/ΛQCD) is straightforward to sum via the renormalization group. The HQET Lagrangian has a spin-flavor symmetry which reduces the number of form-factors to a single one: the Isgur-Wise function . In addition HQET tells us the normalization of the Isgur-Wise function at a kinematic point. Remarkably heavy quark spin symmetry leads to additional relations among weak decay form factors. The four form factors which are required to parameterize matrix elements of vector currents and the four axial vector current form factors reduce to the single Isgur-Wise function in the heavy quark limit. This example clearly illustrates the power of effective field theories. To motivate soft collinear effective theory (SCET) I will consider another example: the decay rate for B → Xsγ. The dominant contribution to this decay arises from the magnetic penguin operator

Keynes and capitalism one more time: A further reply to hill

Greg Hill continues to miss my distinction between what is true of free‐market capitalism and what is true of the interventionist forms of capitalism that characterize Western economies. It is central banking that triggers lower aggregate demand when the public's desire to save grows. If increases in saving occur through the holding of additional private bank liabilities, rather than central‐bank created money, banks could adjust their supply of liabilities so as to keep saving and investment equal and avoid reductions in aggregate demand. Hill's alternatives to market‐driven financial intermediaries also fail to compare fairly the market and political processes.
Classical Surplus Theory and Heterodox Economics

It has recently been suggested that heterodox economics can benefit from an engagement with classical surplus theory. However, caution is often recommended due to the ideological concepts that are embedded in classical political economy. This article argues that many of the ideological concepts that are often attributed to classical political economy are actually not part of classical political economy, but rather of a “vulgar” form of political economy, a project that emerged after Ricardo. This vulgar project, often termed as “Ricardian economics,” is often mistakenly taken to be a development of classical political economy, but it is actually a rupture with the classical political economy of Petty, Smith, and Ricardo, as Marx, and later Sraffa, argued. Once this is acknowledged, the relationship between classical political economy and heterodox economics becomes clearer.
Optical properties of PbS-doped silica optical fiber materials based on atomic layer deposition

Optical properties of PbS-doped silica optical fiber materials and theoretical simulation are investigated. PbS is deposited on silica optical fiber materials by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique with Pb(tmhd) 2 and H 2 S as Pb and S precursors, respectively. Its stoichiometry is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The valence states of S and Pb element are −2 and +2, respectively. The Raman spectra further reveal that PbS has been doped into optical fiber materials almost without destroying irregular rings structure in silica material network. And there are distinct absorption bands at 248 and 352 nm. Fluorescence spectra are obtained with 330 and 350 nm pumping, two fluorescence peaks at 768 and 808 nm, respectively. In addition, the microstructure models for PbS-doped optical fiber materials are built on Gaussian09 platform, and its optical properties of the absorption and emission spectra are calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory ( There are obvious absorption and emission peaks at 325.7 and 769.8 nm, respectively, which are in good agreement with experiments.
Oxidation of Columbium and coated Columbium Alloys

microscopy, high temperatureniobium alloy su-31, niobium alloy fs-85, fluorescence, x raysOxidation of columbium alloys FS-85, SU-31, and a complex disilicide coating/SU-31 and FS-85 alloy systems has been studied in the temperature range 1400 to 2700 F at 1 atm and 50 Cm/sec flow rate of air. For studies of the uncoated alloys, the flow rate and pressure dependence of the alloys was also investigated. The experimental methods included thermogravimetric measurements of oxidation rates and studies on reacted specimens by means of X-ray diffraction, metallographic techniques, and electron microprobe analysis. Two anomalies in the temperature dependence of the oxidation. rate were observed for both alloys and were related to the oxides formed. The SU-31 alloy has the best oxidation resistance. The oxidation mechanism of the alloys is discussed along with the mechanism of protection afforded by the complex disilicide coating system. The coating did not fail after 1000 hours of oxidation
Cross-functional integration in the sustainable new product development process: The role of the environmental specialist

Companies in the twenty-first century are exposed to a variety of pressures to respond to environmental issues, and responding to these pressures affects several aspects of business such as purchasing, marketing and logistics. Managers increasingly view sustainability as a complement to their corporate agendas, or even as an opportunity. It is important to understand how firms integrate environmental issues into their businesses and how these integration strategies affect performance. The process of sustainable new product development (SNPD) is a key strategic focus to achieve economic and environmental sustainability. This paper examines the integration of environmental specialists into new product development teams that are composed of other functional specialists including marketing, manufacturing, and RD this effect is even greater for high-innovative projects.
Revising threshold functions

A revision algorithm is a learning algorithm that identifies the target concept, starting from an initial concept. Such an algorithm is considered efficient if its complexity (in terms of the resource one is interested in) is polynomial in the syntactic distance between the initial and the target concept, but only polylogarithmic in the number of variables in the universe. We give an efficient revision algorithm in the model of learning with equivalence and membership queries for threshold functions, and some negative results showing, for instance, that threshold functions cannot be revised efficiently from either type of query alone. The algorithms work in a general revision model where both deletion and addition type revision operators are allowed.
Foucault and public autonomy

In this paper I argue that the social constructionist view found in Foucault's work does not condemn one to a deterministic portrait of the 'self.' Attention to the early and late writings allows one to articulate a weak notion of autonomy even under the heavy-handed descriptions found in Foucault's early work. By recognizing autonomy as a public task, and not as a notion of freedom relegated to particular individuals, one is entitled to view autonomy as present in Foucault's work - and not merely in those writings dedicated to the 'techniques of the self.' Far from emphasizing practices of freedom, I demonstrate that we need not always think of autonomy as contained in necessary 0resistance. It is this that permits reading autonomy as a product of social construction, and not an objection to it.
