Amphiboles of the UTG biotite-hornblende gneisses are mainly hornblende, together with few paragasitic hornblende and edenite. Plagioclase composition is oligoclase to andesine An in the biotite-hornblende gneiss, and oligoclase An in the biotite gneiss. Mineral chemistry of amphibole and plagioclase indicate that the gneisses were metamorphosed under low- to medium-pressure of 2. These ages suggest a latest metamorphic cooling event at ca. Late Precambrian metamorphism and cooling in the Arabian-Nubian Shield: It may indicate that the metamorphism of the UTG might have.

The Palaearctic species of Curculionidae: Out of species whose types were presumably preserved in the MNHN, original type specimens of could be found. The holotypes of 21 species were available, either because originally designated as such, or because the species was unequivocally based on a single specimen; a paratype of another taxon, whose holotype is preserved in another collection, was also examined.

The lectotypes of 93 species were designated, and a syntype of another species was also seen. Neotypes of 10 more species were designated, thus leading to a total number of species whose type is conserved at the MNHN to Type specimens of five more species described by French authors, not present in the MNHN but conserved in other museums, were found as well and were included in the paper, with the further designation of three lectotypes.

All types treated herein were labelled and photographed. This collection, which is of key historic importance, represents the results of two centuries of myriapod and onychophoran studies. The sources of the collection are worldwide, with a high representation for metropolitan France for the myriapods. None of the occurrences are yet georeferenced.

The Myriapoda and Onychophora collection of MNHN is actively expanding, hence both the collection and dataset are in continuous growth. The dataset can be accessed through the portals of GBIF at http: Properties of metallic glasses containing actinide metals. The results of a preparative and calorimetric study forming part of a continuing investigation of the new actinide glasses are reported.

Specifically, lower bounds for the composition limits of glass formation G. Ogata, Tomomichi; Johnson, Stephanie J. In Met UM , this off-equatorial precipitation increase is less significant and precipitation decreases over the equator. Moisture budget analysis demonstrates that a changing in moisture flux convergence at higher resolution is related to the precipitation response. Orographic effects, intra-seasonal variability and the representation of the meridional thermal gradient are explored as possible causes of the resolution sensitivity.

Furthermore, the seasonal evolution of the meridional thermal gradient appears to be more accurate at higher resolution, particularly in the MRI-AGCM.

These findings emphasize that the impact of resolution is only robust across the two AGCMs for some features of the ASM, and highlights the importance of multi-model studies of GCM resolution sensitivity. Evaluation was carried out in 33 individuals. The mean age of the individuals was The protocol requirements were followed precisely. The UM monitor passed all requirements, fulfilling the standards of the protocol. On average, the device overestimated systolic BP by 3. An orangutan in Paris: Specimens were the focus of the Museum's activities, and this particular specimen seemed especially promising, not only because the Museum had very few orangutan specimens in its collection, but also because of what was perceived to be the orangutan's unique place in the natural order of things, namely, at the very boundary between the animal kingdom and humans.

Archival and printed sources allow one to reconstruct the orangutan's capture, acquisition, and subsequent career at the menagerie in greater detail than has generally been possible for animals of nineteenth-century zoos. Key to their fascination with the orangutan was the question of proximity-just how close was the orangutan to humans?

The orangutan's story illuminates not only how the animal-human boundary was conceived at the time but also the problematic status of the zoo as a site for scientific research and the roles of scientific and non-scientific actors alike in constructing how the orangutan was understood.

Diffusion and thermal diffusion processes in a liquid mixture are accompanied by long-range non-equilibrium fluctuations, whose amplitude is orders of magnitude larger than that of equilibrium fluctuations. The mean-square amplitude of the non-equilibrium fluctuations presents a scale-free power law behavior q -4 as a function of the wave vector q, but the divergence of the amplitude of the fluctuations at small wave vectors is prevented by the presence of gravity. In microgravity conditions the non-equilibrium fluctuations are fully developed and span all the available length scales up to the macroscopic size of the systems in the direction parallel to the applied gradient.

The focus of the project is on the investigation in micro-gravity conditions of the non-equilibrium fluctuations in complex liquids, trying to tackle several challenging problems that emerged during the latest years, such as the theoretical predictions of Casimir-like forces induced by non-equilibrium fluctuations; the understanding of the non-equilibrium fluctuations in multi-component mixtures including a polymer, both in relation to the transport coefficients and to their behavior close to a glass transition; the understanding of the non-equilibrium fluctuations in concentrated colloidal suspensions, a problem closely related with the detection of Casimir forces; and the investigation of the development of fluctuations during transient diffusion.

We envision to parallel these experiments with state-of-the-art multi-scale simulations. The study area is covered by Pan-African basement rocks including gabbro and granodiorite intruded into a variable mixture of metavolcanics and metasediments. The granodiorites are dissected by gold-bearing quartz veins surrounded by alteration zones. The microscopic examination of samples collected from the alteration zones shows sericitic and argillic alteration zones. The results show that these classification methods are capable of mapping the alteration zones as indicated by field verification work.

Overlying extracted faults and alteration zone classification images show that the N30E and N-S fractures represent potential zones for gold exploration. It is concluded that the proposed methods can be used as a powerful tool for ore deposit exploration. Connecting spatial and temporal scales of tropical precipitation in observations and the Met UM -GA6. This study analyses tropical rainfall variability on a range of temporal and spatial scales in a set of parallel Met Office Unified Model Met UM simulations at a range of horizontal resolutions, which are compared with two satellite-derived rainfall datasets.

We focus on the shorter scales, i. We find that the behaviour of the deep convection parametrization in this model on the native grid and time step is largely independent of the grid-box size and time step length over which it operates. In contrast, switching off the deep convection parametrization, albeit at an unrealistic resolution for resolving tropical convection, results in very persistent for limited periods , but very sporadic, rainfall. In both cases, spatial and temporal averaging smoothes out this intermittency. Over tropical land the results are more varied, but the model often underestimates the daily mean rainfall partly as a result of a poor diurnal cycle but still lacks variability on intra-seasonal timescales.

We present a versatile and fast MATLAB program Um UTracker that automatically detects and tracks particles by analyzing video sequences acquired by either light microscopy or digital in-line holographic microscopy. Our program detects the 2D lateral positions of particles with an algorithm based on the isosceles triangle transform, and reconstructs their 3D axial positions by a fast implementation of the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld model using a radial intensity profile.

Product details

To validate the accuracy and performance of our program, we first track the 2D position of polystyrene particles using bright field and digital holographic microscopy. Second, we determine the 3D particle position by analyzing synthetic and experimentally acquired holograms. This result agrees with computational fluid dynamic simulations. To enhance usability and to make it easy to implement new functions we used object-oriented programming.

Um UTracker is suitable for studies related to: Creative Commons by 4. However, in terms of accuracy, reliable particle tracking is a challenging task since results depend on sample illumination, particle overlap, motion blur and noise from recording sensors. Additionally, the computational performance is also an issue if, for example, a computationally expensive process is executed, such as axial particle position reconstruction from digital holographic microscopy data.

We have fabricated the 1. Measurement results of optical and electrical characteristics of PIN photodetector chip were the following: Microwave model of photodetector was developed and verified by measurements of scattering matrix. The implementation of broadband up to 20 GHz hybrid integrated matching and biasing circuit for high-speed photodetector is presented.

Knowledge gaps and research needs were identified in all research areas. Furthermore, the potential for methodological advancements by using gender theoretical concepts was depicted. Insights of this interdisciplinary research are relevant for practice areas such as environmental health protection, health promotion, environmental justice, and environmental health monitoring. Implications from mineral chemistry and fluid inclusions.

Scanning electron microscope SEM , Electron microprobe EMPA and fluid inclusion studies of the ore body, as well as geochemical analyses of country rocks were performed to determine the nature and characteristics of the mineralizing fluid responsible for Au-Cu deposits in Um Balad area, Northern Eastern Desert of Egypt. The Um Balad Au-Cu deposits are confined to well developed-quartz veins and veinlets cutting through the hosting country rocks. Wallrock alterations are represented by propylitic and argillic types. The main ore minerals are represented by gold, chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, malachite, covellite and goethite.

While, geffroyite, cuprite, chrysocolla, pseudomalachite, britholite, wolframite, scheelite, hematite and rutile are detected as minor constituents. The mineralization had been developed in the shallow levels, beneath the water table at depth of m, rather than common mesothermal vein-type deposits in Egypt. Magmatic water have been suggested as the main source for the mineralized fluid. The transportation of the gold metal seems to be happen as bisulfide complexes in moderately acidic environment. The deposition was resulted from combination of changes in physico-chemical parameters.

The aim of this study was to define the accuracy of UM , an automated oscillometric device for office use coupled to several cuffs for different arm sizes, according to the International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension. The validation was performed in 33 individuals. Their mean age was Four sequential readings were taken by observers 1 and 2 using a double-headed stethoscope and a mercury sphygmomanometer, whereas three BP readings were taken by the supervisor using the test instrument.

The differences between the readings provided by the device and the mean observer measurements were calculated. Therefore, each device measurement was compared with the previous and the next mean observer measurement. The validation results fulfilled all the European Society of Hypertension revision Protocol criteria for the general population and passed all validation grades. On average, the device overestimated systolic BP by 1. These data show that the UM device coupled to several cuffs for different ranges of arm circumference met the requirements for validation according to the International Protocol and can be recommended for clinical use in the adult population.

Diagnosing the radiative and chemical contributions to future changes in tropical column ozone with the UM -UKCA chemistry-climate model. Keeble, James; Bednarz, Ewa M. Luke; Harris, Neil R. A transient simulation is analysed which follows the representative concentration pathway 6.

PCO3LS values decrease rapidly from to and remain constant from to , before gradually decreasing further from to and never returning to their s values. Using a series of idealised UM -UKCA time-slice simulations with concentrations of well-mixed greenhouse gases GHGs and halogenated ODS species set to either year or levels, we examine the main processes that drive the PCO3 responses in the three regions and assess how these processes change under different emission scenarios.

Finally, we present a simple, linearised model to describe the future evolution of tropical stratospheric column ozone values based on terms. The design of a reusable lunar lander with an independent cargo unloader. Project UM -Haul is the preliminary design of a reusable lunar transportation vehicle that travels between a lunar parking orbit and the lunar surface.

This vehicle is an indispensible link in the overall task of establishing a lunar base as defined by the NASA Space Exploration Initiative. The response to this need consists of two independent vehicles: The system can navigate and unload itself with a minimum amount of human intervention. The design addresses structural analysis, propulsion, power, controls, communications, payload handling and orbital operations. The Lander has the capacity to decend from low lunar orbit LLO to the lunar surface carrying a kg payload, plus the unloader, plus propellant for ascent to LLO.

The Lander employs the Unloader by way of a motorized ramp. The Unloader is a terrain vehicle capable of carrying cargoes of 8, kg mass and employs a lift system to lower payloads to the ground. The system can perform ten missions before requiring major servicing. Desse modo, comparando seus resultados pode-se estimar o grau de relaxamento desse sistema. Age-related changes in auditory nerve-inner hair cell connections, hair cell numbers, auditory brain stem response and gap detection in UM -HET4 mice. This study compared the timing of appearance of three components of age-related hearing loss that determine the pattern and severity of presbycusis: Using UM -HET4 mice, genetically heterogeneous mice derived from four inbred strains, we studied the integrity of inner and outer hair cells by position along the cochlear spiral, inner hair cell-auditory nerve connections, spiral ganglion neurons SGN , and determined auditory thresholds, as well as pre-pulse and gap inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex ASR.

Comparisons were made between mice of , and months of age. There was individual variability among mice in the onset and extent of age-related auditory pathology. At months of age a moderate to large loss of outer hair cells was restricted to the apical third of the cochlea and threshold shifts in the auditory brain stem response were minimal.

There was also a large and significant loss of inner hair cell-auditory nerve connections and a significant reduction in GD. The expression of Ntf3 in the cochlea was significantly reduced. At months of age there was no further change in the mean number of synaptic connections per inner hair cell or in GD, but a moderate to large loss of outer hair cells was found across all cochlear turns as well as significantly increased ABR threshold shifts at 4, 12, 24 and 48 kHz.

A statistical analysis of correlations on an individual animal basis revealed that neither the hair cell loss nor the ABR threshold shifts correlated with loss of GD or with the loss of connections, consistent with independent pathological mechanisms. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Appreciation and concern for the preservation of our natural resources by all citizens is the primary concern of this teacher's guide for use in the elementary grades.

A Herschel Survey of [OI]63 um in 1. Or does the star-formation occur in a more extended, cooler component, such as in "normal" star-forming galaxies. There is a clear need for the development of modelling frameworks for both climate change and air quality to help inform policies for addressing these issues simultaneously. This paper presents an initial attempt to develop a single modelling framework, by introducing a greater degree of consistency in the meteorological modelling framework by using a two-step, one-way nested configuration of models, from a global composition-climate model GCCM km resolution to a regional composition-climate model covering Europe RCCM 50 km resolution and finally to a high 12 km resolution model over the UK AQUM.

The latter model is used to produce routine air quality forecasts for the UK. In order to better understand the impact of resolution on the downscaling of projections of future climate and air quality, we have used this nest of models to simulate a 5-year period using present-day emissions and under present-day climate conditions.

We also consider the impact of running the higher-resolution model with higher spatial resolution emissions, rather than simply regridding emissions from the RCCM. We present an evaluation of the models compared to in situ air quality observations over the UK, plus a comparison against an independent 1 km resolution gridded dataset, derived from a combination of modelling and observations, effectively producing an analysis of annual mean surface pollutant concentrations.

We show that using a high-resolution model over the UK has some benefits in improving air quality modelling, but that the use of higher spatial resolution emissions is important to capture local variations in concentrations, particularly for primary pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

For secondary pollutants such as ozone and the secondary component of PM10, the benefits of a higher-resolution nested model are more limited and reasons for this are discussed. Cinematica del gas ionizado y perfiles de luminosidad de las Galaxias Porotos Verdes. We present preliminary spectroscopic results of a sample of green bean galaxies GBG ; known to show ultra-luminous; galaxy-wide; narrow-line regions. We report here new results that confirm that the emission extends from 5 to 17 kpc; in all cases scales similar or larger than the stellar continuums at the spectra.

In the extreme case of J We find that the continuum half light radii extend from 3 to 7 kpc; the largest scale radius at shortest wavelengths; which is consistent with the scale lengths of large spiral galaxies or merging systems. Another new result is that the spatial variation of the continuum color profiles indicate the presence of extinction and possibly star formation. This guide, which includes both English and Spanish versions, explains that a school profile is like a report card for a school.

It tells how students are achieving and what the school is doing to help all students achieve. Infrared fibers in the 1. With a view towards the application in space-borne optical instruments, we first performed a world-wide market survey of infrared fibers designed for the wavelength range of 1. Fiber samples purchased and tested comprise fluoride fibers, chalcogenide fibers, a germanate fiber and a silver-halide fiber, as well as hollow fibers. While the majority of infrared fibers offered are of the multi-mode type, three of the fluoride fibers are single-mode.

We report on the polarization degrading effect of a single-mode fiber and present a possible solution to achieve polarization maintainance by twisting the fiber. Secondly we report on measurements of numerical aperture, output beam profile, and attenuation of a hollow fiber. Because of its high power and excellent optical features, laser has almost been applied to everywhere of medical research and clinic. Over the past several years, laser medical has achieved a rapid progress, and laser medical instruments has developed promptly, each new wavelength can be successfully applied in diagnostic and treatment of diseases.

Among the medical lasers, Nd: YAG solid-state laser systems have proven useful in surgical use operate, such as neurosurgery, gastroenterology, cardioangiology, urology, gynecology, dermatology and ENT. As with other solid-state lasers, the Nd: YAG laser can be made to emit various wavelengths by means of suitable resonator configurations and some newest solid-state laser technology, pumped by the Krypton lamp, the Nd: YAG laser at room temperature exhibits transition at 1.

There are an increasing number of researches in science education that affirm the importance of discussions on the "nature of science" in basic education level as well as in teacher training. The history of science applied to education is a way to contextualize epistemological discussions, allowing both the understanding of scientific content and learning about science concepts.

We present some reasonably consensual definitions on the nature of science that have been widely discussed by the academic community. We show also some episodes in the history of astronomy which can lead to discussions involving some aspects of the nature of science, and how they can do it. Astronomy Teaching and Teachers Continuing Education: This paper describes how 67 teachers from 23 cities, could awaken, in students, the scientific interest, using a natural astronomical phenomenon: Before and after of eclipse, meetings for continuing education were characterized by interdisciplinarity of astronomy and the importance of these observations.

Working groups were formed by teachers and students, who organized the survey data, mobilizing the people in their cities. The results point ways about how to provide the scientific culture and the motivation to learn science in students, using approaches between the following communities: Solar Physics Topics in High School: We relate in this article a didactic experience studying the moon phases with a group of middle school students of a private school of the municipality of Passo Fundo, RS.

Based on David Ausubel's Meaningful Learning Theory, we have sought to develop a proposal following a didactic model which simulates the phases of the Moon, as based on the previous conceptions of the students.

The signs of learning were evidenced by means of memory registries of the activity. From the obtained results we believe that the proposal achieved its goals, since the students were able to identify, differentiate and transfer the phenomenon of the moon phases to new contexts. Thus, it is concluded that a methodology focused on a meaningful content for the students is fundamental to the construction and genuine grasping of what is being learned.

Antihypertensive efficacy and tolerability of lercanidipine in daily clinical practice. Eficacia de Lercanidipino y su Perfil de Seguridad. Lercanidipine, a long-acting dihydropyridine with a good antihypertensive efficacy and tolerability in clinical use. With the aim to determine the efficacy and tolerability of this drug in usual clinical practice we performed the ELYPSE trial. Grade 1 or 2 essential hypertensive patients in whom their physicians considered to prescribe a dihydropyridine were conferred to Lercanidipine 10 mg once daily with a 3-month follow-up; patients were included age: Electronic case-report forms and a central database Internet were used in this trial.

The principal aspects that characterize the illiteracy problem in 14 Latin American and Caribbean countries and the achievements of 22 currently established literacy programs were determined through a UNESCO study. The purpose of this study was to obtain data useful in the planning of future literacy programs.

To assess the effects of a physical exercise program on the lipid profile, weight status and the cardiovascular health of obese candidates for bariatric surgery. All images obtained with a telescope are distorted by the instrument. This distorsion is known as instrumental profile or instrumental broadening. The deformations in the spectra could introduce large errors in the determination of different parameters, especially in those dependent on the spectral lines shapes, such as chemical abundances, winds, microturbulence, etc. To correct this distortion, in some cases, the spectral lines are convolved with a Gaussian function and in others the lines are widened with a fixed value.

Learning about the Sky from the Environment: The internal quantum efficiency of III-Nitrides group, GaN light-emitting diode LED has been considerably limited due to the insufficient hole injection and this is caused by the lack of performance p-type doping and low hole mobility. The low hole mobility makes the hole less energetic, thus reduced the performance operation of GaN LED itself. The internal quantum efficiency of GaN-based LED with surface roughness texture can be changed by texture size, density, and thickness of GaN film or by the combined effects of surface shape and thickness of GaN film.

This work investigates the characteristics of GaN LED with undoped n-GaN layer of different thickness and the surface shape of p-type layer. The LEDs performance is significantly altered by modifying the thickness and shape. Enhancement of n-GaN layer has led to the annihilation of electrical conductivity of the chip. Different surface geometry governs the emission rate extensively.

Internal quantum efficiency is also predominantly affected by the geometry of n-GaN layer which subjected to the current spreading. It is recorded that the IQE droop can be minimized by varying the thickness of the active layer without amplifying the forward voltage. A cosmologia no ensino da geografia. To obtain high temperature, high power 1.

A set of lasers with active regions consisting of different numbers of QWs 2 to 4 and different QW strains 1. The active region growth temperature was optimized using photoluminescence intensity. The wafers were first processed into broad-area lasers and measured under pulsed injection. No strong dependence of temperature parameters on strain was observed, while properties varied significantly with the number of QWs. With more QWs, both internal efficiency and T0 increases, but internal loss increases, reducing the characteristic temperature of the differential efficiency T1.

The results show that uncooled laser operation at 1. Ridge waveguide devices demonstrated low threshold and high output power as well as good temperature performance under continuous wave operation. Devices with different ridge heights were fabricated from one wafer and their performance was compared. It was found that current spreading was significant in these devices and a simple current density-versus-applied voltage analysis was developed to determine the spreading factor.

The analysis shows that the current spreading was not effectively limited until etching went below the doped cladding layer. A recombination coefficient analysis was performed to investigate the effect of strain on Auger recombination predicted by theory. An indirect method to infer both the nonradiative recombination coefficient and the Auger recombination coefficient was initially used. The measured values of the recombination coefficients were consistent with theoretical predictions and measurements based on other material systems.

The Auger recombination was lower than expected, indicating that Auger recombination is reduced in these strained QWs. To understand the carrier dynamics, impedance measurements were carried out for the first time in AlGaInAs strained QW lasers. A small-signal, sub-threshold equivalent circuit model was derived from the laser rate equations to model the measured laser impedance. Several characteristic carrier lifetimes were obtained directly from these electrical impedance measurements.

From the temperature dependence of the QW escape time, it was found that hole rather than electron leakage is dominant in the AlGaInAs system due to the relatively low valence band offset. Met UM Upper-tropospheric summer jet teleconnections: The upper tropospheric jet stream has been documented to act as a waveguide Hoskins and Ambrizzi, and supporting quasi-stationary Rossby waves Schubert et al.

These have been associated with remote effects in surface level weather such as rainfall anomalies in the East Asian Summer Monsoon as well as extreme temperature events. The goal of this work was to analyse the intraseasonal to interannual upper level boreal summer jet variability and its coupling with low level atmospheric dynamics within the Met Office Unified Model using climate runs. Using the Wallace and Gutzler proposed approach to find teleconnection patterns on the hPa level wind, lead-lag correlation and Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis on the upper-level jet and relating the results with surface weather variables as well as dynamical variables, it was found that the model presents too strong jet variability, particularly in the tropical region and.

In addition, the model presents high teleconnectivity hotspots with higher importance in areas such as the Mediterranean and Caspian Sea which are important source areas for Rossby Waves. Further to this, the model was found to produce an area of teleconnectivity between the tropical Atlantic and western Africa which is not observed in the reanalysis but coexists with long lasting precipitation biases. In order to assess the relative importance of relevant model parameters in the biases and process errors, work is currently underway using perturbed model parameter ensembles.

This is not a MasterMind game! Large scientific collaborations as well as universities have a growing need for multimedia archiving of meetings and courses. Collaborations need to disseminate training and news to their wide-ranging members, and universities seek to provide their students with more useful studying tools. In we formed the MScribe project, using a larger scale, and highly automated recording system to record and archive eight University courses in a wide array of subjects.

Several robotic carts are wheeled around campus by unskilled student helpers to automatically capture and post to the Web audio, video, slides and chalkboard images. The advances the MScribe project has made in automation of these processes, including a robotic camera operator and automated video processing, are now being used to record ATLAS Collaboration events, making them available more quickly than before and enabling the recording of more events.

Material-based storage technologies have potential to store hydrogen beyond twice the density of liquid hydrogen.

While these centers made progress in identifying new storage materials, the challenges associated with the engineering of the system around a candidate storage material are in need of further advancement. In the DOE established the Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center of Excellence with the objective of developing innovative engineering concepts for materials-based hydrogen storage systems.

As a partner in the Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center of Excellence, the Ford- UM -BASF team conducted a multi-faceted research program that addresses key engineering challenges associated with the development of materials-based hydrogen storage systems. First, we developed a novel framework that allowed for a material-based hydrogen storage system to be modeled and operated within a virtual fuel cell vehicle.

This effort resulted in the ability to assess dynamic operating parameters and interactions between the storage system and fuel cell power plant, including the evaluation of performance throughout various drive cycles. Second, we engaged in cost modeling of various incarnations of the storage systems. We provide a quantitative description of the French national herbarium vascular plants collection dataset.

This major botanical collection represents the results of over three centuries of exploration and study. The sources of the collection are global, with a strong representation for France, including overseas territories, and former French colonies.

The compilation of this dataset was made possible through numerous national and international projects, the most important of which was linked to the renovation of the herbarium building. The vascular plant collection is actively expanding today, hence the continuous growth exhibited by the dataset, which can be fully accessed through the GBIF portal or the MNHN database portal available at: This dataset is a major source of data for systematics, global plants macroecological studies or conservation assessments. Quantum correlated, highly non-degenerate photons can be used to synthesize disparate quantum nodes and link quantum processing over incompatible wavelengths, thereby constructing heterogeneous quantum systems for otherwise unattainable superior performance.

Existing techniques for correlated photons have been concentrated in the visible and near-IR domains, with the photon pairs residing within one micron. Here, we demonstrate direct generation and detection of high-purity photon pairs at room temperature with 3. The pairs are created via spontaneous parametric downconversion in a lithium niobate waveguide with specially designed geometry and periodic poling.

Quantum correlation measurement yields a high coincidence-to-accidental ratio of 54, which indicates the strong correlation with the extremely non-degenerate photon pairs. Our system bridges existing quantum technology to the challenging mid-IR regime, where unprecedented applications are expected in quantum metrology and sensing, quantum communications, medical diagnostics, and so on. The rocks include serpentinized peridotites, serpentinites together with talc- and quartz-carbonates. The high Cr of Al-chromites resembles supra-subduction zone SSZ peridotites and suggests derivation from the deeper portion of the mantle section with boninitic affinity.

These mantle rocks equilibrated with boninitic melt have been generated by high melting degrees. The high Cr of spinel and Fo content of olivine together with the narrow compositional range suggest a mantle residual origin. A dust model for bet Pic from 0. Apai , and the results of these observations were published in Apai et al. The instrument bandpass is set by the response of the CCD and centered at 0.

The data at all three bands 24, 70, and um are published here for the first time. Two sets of 24 um observations were obtained. The first set was obtained on March 20, the second set of data was obtained on April Two sets of 70 um observations were obtained. The first set was obtained on April The second set was obtained on April 4. Olofsson, observation IDs and were published by Vandenbussche et al.

The 24 um observations were retrieved from the Spitzer archive. All observed targets are listed in Table 1. The catalogue is complete to 1mJy and, below this flux density, the incompleteness is corrected using two independent methods. The first method uses stars and the second uses optical counterparts of the ISOCAM galaxies; these methods yield consistent results. We also apply an empirical flux density calibration using stars in the field.

This article is a companion analysis to our paper Rocca-Volmerange et al. The p UM plasmid, isolated from a clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate, confers resistance to ciprofloxacin CIP when transferred into the standard P. CIP is an antibiotic of the quinolone family that is used to treat P. We cloned orf renamed crpP , for c iprofloxacin r esistance p rotein, p lasmid encoded into the pUCP20 shuttle vector. Using coupled enzymatic analysis, we determined that the activity of CrpP on CIP is ATP dependent, while little activity against norfloxacin was detected, suggesting that CIP may undergo phosphorylation.

Using a recombinant His-tagged CrpP protein and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we also showed that CIP was phosphorylated prior to its degradation. A self-unloading reusable lunar lander. The establishment of a lunar base is technologically and financially challenging. Given the necessary resources and political support, it can be done. In addition to the geopolitical obstacles, however, there are logistical problems involved in establishing such bases that can only be overcome with the acquisition of a significant transportation and communications network in the Earth-Moon spatial region.

Considering the significant number of payloads that will be required in this process, the mass-specific cost of launching these payloads, and the added risk and cost of human presence in space, it is clearly desirable to automate major parts of such an operation. One very costly and time-consuming factor in this picture is the delivery of payloads to the Moon.

Foreseeable payloads would include atmospheric modules, inflatable habitat kits, energy and oxygen plant elements, ground vehicles, laboratory modules, crew supplies, etc. The duration of high-risk human presence on the Moon could be greatly reduced if all such payloads were delivered to the prospective base site in advance of crew arrival. From LLO, the lander shuttles payloads down to the lunar surface, where, by means of some resident, detachable unloading device, it deploys the payloads and returns to orbit. The general goal is for the system to perform with maximum payload capability, automation, and reliability, while also minimizing environmental hazards, servicing needs, and mission costs.

The complete study includes a system description, along with a preliminary cost analysis and a design status assessment. Hamann, Fred; Barlow, Thomas A. We have no information on changes in other z sub a approximately equal z sub e absorption lines. Continued monitoring since November shows no clear changes in any of the absorptions between approximately and A rest.

The short timescale of the variability less than or approximately equal to 2. Photoionization calculations place the absorbing clouds within approximately pc of the continuum source. The full range of line ionizations from Ne VIII lambda to C III lambda in optically thin gas no Lyman limit implies that the absorbing regions span a factor of more than approximately 10 in distance or approximately in density. The metallicity is roughly solar or higher, with nitrogen possibly more enhanced by factors of a few.

The clouds might contribute significant line emission if they nearly envelop the QSO. The presence of highly ionized Ne VIII lambda absorption near the QSO supports recent studies that link z sub a approximately equal to z sub e systems with X-ray 'wamr absorbers. We show that the. In the baseline case, acrylic microwave windows were mounted between three of the waveguide coupling cavities in the anode block vacuum housing and the output waveguides.

Each of the six 3 cm deep coupling cavities is separated from its corresponding anode cavity by a 1. In the baseline case, vacuum side window breakdown was observed to initiate at single waveguide output powers close to 20 MW. In the new window configuration, three Air Force Research Laboratory-designed, vacuum-rated directional coupler waveguide segments were mounted between the coupling cavities and the microwave windows. The inclusion of the vacuum side power couplers moved the microwave windows an additional 30 cm away from the anode apertures.

Additionally, the Lucite microwave windows were replaced with polycarbonate windows and the microwave window mounts were redesigned to better maintain waveguide continuity in the region around the microwave windows. Simulations were performed to investigate likely causes for the window breakdown in the original configuration. Results from these simulations have shown that in the original configuration, at typical operating voltage and magnetic field ranges, electrons emitted from the anode block microwave apertures strike the windows with a mean kinetic energy of 33 keV with a standard deviation of 14 keV.

The effects of the primary aperture electron. We have no information on changes in other za approximately equal ze absorption lines. The presence of highly ionized Ne VIII lambda absorption near the QSO supports recent studies that link za approximately equal to ze systems with X-ray 'wamr absorbers. Trace element composition of sulfides and O, C, Sr and S isotopic data are assessed to constrain the evolution and potential fluid and metal sources of the Um Garayat gold deposit.

Ore microscopy and BSE investigations of quartz veins show blocky arsenopyrite and pyrite replaced in part by pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, and gersdorffite. Free-milling gold occurs commonly in close association with the late sulfides, and along fractures in pyrite. In situ LA-ICP-MS analysis of sulfides shows the recrystallized pyrite enriched in most trace elements, while blocky pyrite contains only some traces of arsenic. Detected concentrations of gold up to 17 ppm were only reported in arsenopyrite disseminated in quartz veins.

The generally homogenous sulfur, C, O, Sr isotope data are suggestive of metamorphogenic fluids, likely produced from dominantly mafic volcanic rocks at the greenschist-amphibolite facies transition. Geological Survey, Digital Spectral Library: We have developed a digital reflectance spectral library, with management and spectral analysis software.

The library includes spectra of samples some samples include a series of grain sizes measured from approximately 0. The spectral resolution Full Width Half Maximum of the reflectance data is um and um. Library management software lets users search on parameters e. Minerals from borate, carbonate, chloride, element, halide, hydroxide, nitrate, oxide, phosphate, sulfate, sulfide, sulfosalt, and the silicate cyclosilicate, inosilicate, nesosilicate, phyllosilicate, sorosilicate, and tectosilicate classes are represented.

X-Ray and chemical analyses are tabulated for many of the entries, and all samples have been evaluated for spectral purity. The library also contains end and intermediate members for the olivine, garnet, scapolite, montmorillonite, muscovite, jarosite, and alunite solid-solution series. We have included representative spectra of H2O ice, kerogen, ammonium-bearing minerals, rare-earth oxides, desert varnish coatings, kaolinite crystallinity series, kaolinite-smectite series, zeolite series, and an extensive evaporite series. Because of the importance of vegetation to climate-change studies we have include 17 spectra of tree leaves, bushes, and grasses.

The library and software are available as a series of U. PC user software is available to convert the binary data to ascii files a separate U. Additionally, a binary data files are on line at the U. The library search software enables a user to search on documentation parameters as well as spectral features.

We present Integral Field Unit GMOS-IFU data of the compact H II galaxy UM , obtained at the Gemini South telescope, in order to derive the spatial distribution of emission lines and line ratios, kinematics, plasma parameters, and oxygen abundances as well the integrated properties over an area of 3''x4.

The starburst in this area is resolved into two giant regions of about 1. This indicates that the dust has been displaced from the exciting clusters by the action of their stellar winds. Comparing the data points with theoretical diagnostic models, we found that all of them are consistent with excitation by photoionization by massive stars.

The velocity dispersion map shows supersonic values typical for extragalactic H II regions. The short form of the recombinant CAL-A-type lipase UM from the smut fungus Ustilago maydis exhibits an inherent trans-fatty acid selectivity. The two lipases with [corrected] the highest identity are a lipase from Sporisorium reilianum and the prototypic CAL-A. Here, we show for the first time the recombinant expression of two versions of lipase UM Although both forms of lipase UM could be expressed functionally in E.

The functional expression of the N-terminally truncated lipase was further optimized by the appropriate choice of the E. Primary characteristics of the recombinant lipase are its pH optimum in the range of 6. As is typical for lipases, lip UM shows preference for long chain fatty acid esters with myristic acid ester C More importantly, lip UMs exhibits an inherent preference for C Therefore, the short form of this U.

Indonesia geothermal resources are the largest in the world, about 40 percent of the total geothermal resources worldwide with a potential energy of 28, MW. Geothermal energy is one of the renewable energy in the world that can be developed sustainably. This kind of energy is not only environmentally friendly but also highly prospective compared to fossil energy. One of the potential geothermal energy in Indonesia is Seulawah Agam geothermal field with some manifestation areas.

Mental health problems of undocumented migrants UMs in the Netherlands: Objective To explore health-seeking behaviour and experiences of undocumented migrants UMs in general practice in relation to mental health problems. Design Qualitative study using semistructured interviews and thematic analysis. Participants 15 UMs in the Netherlands, varying in age, gender, country of origin and education; inclusion until theoretical saturation was reached. Setting 4 cities in the Netherlands. Results UMs consider mental health problems to be directly related to their precarious living conditions.

For support, they refer to friends and religion first, the general practitioner GP is their last resort. Barriers for seeking help include taboo on mental health problems, lack of knowledge of and trust in GPs competencies regarding mental health and general barriers in accessing healthcare as an UM lack of knowledge of the right to access healthcare, fear of prosecution, financial constraints and practical difficulties. Once access has been gained, satisfaction with care is high. This is primarily due to the attitude of the GPs and the effectiveness of the treatment.

Reasons for dissatisfaction with GP care are an experienced lack of time, lack of personal attention and absence of physical examination. Expectations of the GP vary, medication for mental health problems is not necessarily seen as a good practice. Conclusions UMs often see their precarious living conditions as an important determinant of their mental health; they do not easily seek help for mental health problems and various barriers hamper access to healthcare for them. Rather than for medication, UMs are looking for encouragement and support from their GP.

We recommend that barriers experienced in seeking professional care are tackled at an institutional level as well as at the level of GP. Detecting metal-poor gas accretion in the star-forming dwarf galaxies UM and Mrk Our aim was to search for the existence of metallicity inhomogeneities that might arise from infall of nearly pristine gas feeding ongoing localized star formation.

The IFU data allowed us to study the impact of external gas accretion on the chemical evolution as well as the ionized gas kinematics and morphologies of these galaxies. Both systems show signs of morphological distortions, including cometary-like morphologies. When psychiatric patients express a wish for euthanasia, this should first and foremost be interpreted as a cry for help. Due to their close day-to-day relationship, psychiatric nurses may play an important and central role in responding to such requests.

However, little is known about nurses' attitudes towards euthanasia motivated by unbearable mental suffering. The aim of this study was to provide insight into the attitudes and actions taken by psychiatric nurses when confronted with a patient's euthanasia request based on unbearable mental suffering UMS. A questionnaire was sent to 11 psychiatric hospitals in the Flemish part of Belgium.

Confounding factors were the psychiatric diagnosis and the type of ward where the nurses were working. The results highlight the need for ethically sound and comprehensive provision of care. Psychiatric nurses play an important role in dealing with the complex issue of requests for euthanasia. There is also a need for education, training and clear guidelines on the level of health care organizations. Introduction When psychiatric patients express a wish for euthanasia, this should first and foremost be interpreted as a cry for help. Method A questionnaire was sent to 11 psychiatric hospitals in the Flemish part of Belgium.

Conclusion The results highlight the need for ethically sound and comprehensive provision of care. Like low Hawaiian fountains, spattering events often persisted for tens of minutes or hours. However, like Strombolian explosions, the activity consisted of a series of bursting of discrete, meter-sized gas bubbles. Each bubble burst threw fluidal bombs, with meter to decimeter diameters, to elevations of meters to a few tens of meters above the collapsing bubble remnant.

Although some events were triggered by short-lived rock falls that penetrated the crust of the lava lake, the resulting outgassing activity would become self-sustaining and persistent. Activity was at times, confined to a single point source, to several point sources, or along arcs extending tens of meters parallel to the lake margin. This activity represents another type of behavior exhibited by basaltic volcanoes and provides greater insight into the spectrum between Hawaiian fountaining and Strombolian explosivity.

Consequently, this activity is highly instructive in terms of: A significant portion of the gas phase was released as discrete bubble bursts, but with frequencies two or three orders of magnitude higher than at Stromboli, which permitted sustained but not steady events. In a paper published in Notes and Records in , the present author described the influential role played by Fellows of the Royal Society during the nineteenth-century campaign for dental reform led by Sir John Tomes.

Geochemical and K Ar age constraints on the Late Neoproterozoic? Wadi Um Tenassib metamorphic rocks consist mainly of biotite gneiss and biotite-hornblende gneiss with subordinate intercalations of amphibolite, migmatitic gneiss, and aplitic granite. Biotite-hornblende gneiss, biotite gneiss, and aplitic granite are geochemically characterized and their cooling ages are determined by using the K-Ar method on biotite.

They were derived from igneous rocks that pertain to calc alkaline and metaluminous to weakly peraluminous affinities and were generated in continental volcanic arc setting. The similarity in the geochemical characteristics and REE patterns of both gneiss types indicate their magmatic consanguinity.

Amphiboles of the UTG biotite-hornblende gneisses are mainly hornblende, together with few paragasitic hornblende and edenite. Plagioclase composition is oligoclase to andesine An in the biotite-hornblende gneiss, and oligoclase An in the biotite gneiss. Mineral chemistry of amphibole and plagioclase indicate that the gneisses were metamorphosed under low- to medium-pressure of 2. These ages suggest a latest metamorphic cooling event at ca. Late Precambrian metamorphism and cooling in the Arabian-Nubian Shield: It may indicate that the metamorphism of the UTG might have.

The Shadow of a Gnomon Along a Year: The Palaearctic species of Curculionidae: Out of species whose types were presumably preserved in the MNHN, original type specimens of could be found. The holotypes of 21 species were available, either because originally designated as such, or because the species was unequivocally based on a single specimen; a paratype of another taxon, whose holotype is preserved in another collection, was also examined.

The lectotypes of 93 species were designated, and a syntype of another species was also seen. Neotypes of 10 more species were designated, thus leading to a total number of species whose type is conserved at the MNHN to Type specimens of five more species described by French authors, not present in the MNHN but conserved in other museums, were found as well and were included in the paper, with the further designation of three lectotypes. All types treated herein were labelled and photographed. This collection, which is of key historic importance, represents the results of two centuries of myriapod and onychophoran studies.

The sources of the collection are worldwide, with a high representation for metropolitan France for the myriapods. None of the occurrences are yet georeferenced. The Myriapoda and Onychophora collection of MNHN is actively expanding, hence both the collection and dataset are in continuous growth. The dataset can be accessed through the portals of GBIF at http: Properties of metallic glasses containing actinide metals. The results of a preparative and calorimetric study forming part of a continuing investigation of the new actinide glasses are reported.

Specifically, lower bounds for the composition limits of glass formation G. Ogata, Tomomichi; Johnson, Stephanie J. In Met UM , this off-equatorial precipitation increase is less significant and precipitation decreases over the equator. Moisture budget analysis demonstrates that a changing in moisture flux convergence at higher resolution is related to the precipitation response. Orographic effects, intra-seasonal variability and the representation of the meridional thermal gradient are explored as possible causes of the resolution sensitivity.

Furthermore, the seasonal evolution of the meridional thermal gradient appears to be more accurate at higher resolution, particularly in the MRI-AGCM. These findings emphasize that the impact of resolution is only robust across the two AGCMs for some features of the ASM, and highlights the importance of multi-model studies of GCM resolution sensitivity. Evaluation was carried out in 33 individuals. The mean age of the individuals was The protocol requirements were followed precisely.

The UM monitor passed all requirements, fulfilling the standards of the protocol. On average, the device overestimated systolic BP by 3. An orangutan in Paris: Specimens were the focus of the Museum's activities, and this particular specimen seemed especially promising, not only because the Museum had very few orangutan specimens in its collection, but also because of what was perceived to be the orangutan's unique place in the natural order of things, namely, at the very boundary between the animal kingdom and humans. Archival and printed sources allow one to reconstruct the orangutan's capture, acquisition, and subsequent career at the menagerie in greater detail than has generally been possible for animals of nineteenth-century zoos.

Key to their fascination with the orangutan was the question of proximity-just how close was the orangutan to humans?

9 customer reviews

The orangutan's story illuminates not only how the animal-human boundary was conceived at the time but also the problematic status of the zoo as a site for scientific research and the roles of scientific and non-scientific actors alike in constructing how the orangutan was understood. Diffusion and thermal diffusion processes in a liquid mixture are accompanied by long-range non-equilibrium fluctuations, whose amplitude is orders of magnitude larger than that of equilibrium fluctuations.

The mean-square amplitude of the non-equilibrium fluctuations presents a scale-free power law behavior q -4 as a function of the wave vector q, but the divergence of the amplitude of the fluctuations at small wave vectors is prevented by the presence of gravity. In microgravity conditions the non-equilibrium fluctuations are fully developed and span all the available length scales up to the macroscopic size of the systems in the direction parallel to the applied gradient. The focus of the project is on the investigation in micro-gravity conditions of the non-equilibrium fluctuations in complex liquids, trying to tackle several challenging problems that emerged during the latest years, such as the theoretical predictions of Casimir-like forces induced by non-equilibrium fluctuations; the understanding of the non-equilibrium fluctuations in multi-component mixtures including a polymer, both in relation to the transport coefficients and to their behavior close to a glass transition; the understanding of the non-equilibrium fluctuations in concentrated colloidal suspensions, a problem closely related with the detection of Casimir forces; and the investigation of the development of fluctuations during transient diffusion.

We envision to parallel these experiments with state-of-the-art multi-scale simulations. The study area is covered by Pan-African basement rocks including gabbro and granodiorite intruded into a variable mixture of metavolcanics and metasediments. The granodiorites are dissected by gold-bearing quartz veins surrounded by alteration zones. The microscopic examination of samples collected from the alteration zones shows sericitic and argillic alteration zones.

The results show that these classification methods are capable of mapping the alteration zones as indicated by field verification work. Overlying extracted faults and alteration zone classification images show that the N30E and N-S fractures represent potential zones for gold exploration. It is concluded that the proposed methods can be used as a powerful tool for ore deposit exploration. Connecting spatial and temporal scales of tropical precipitation in observations and the Met UM -GA6. This study analyses tropical rainfall variability on a range of temporal and spatial scales in a set of parallel Met Office Unified Model Met UM simulations at a range of horizontal resolutions, which are compared with two satellite-derived rainfall datasets.

We focus on the shorter scales, i. We find that the behaviour of the deep convection parametrization in this model on the native grid and time step is largely independent of the grid-box size and time step length over which it operates. In contrast, switching off the deep convection parametrization, albeit at an unrealistic resolution for resolving tropical convection, results in very persistent for limited periods , but very sporadic, rainfall. In both cases, spatial and temporal averaging smoothes out this intermittency.

Over tropical land the results are more varied, but the model often underestimates the daily mean rainfall partly as a result of a poor diurnal cycle but still lacks variability on intra-seasonal timescales. We present a versatile and fast MATLAB program Um UTracker that automatically detects and tracks particles by analyzing video sequences acquired by either light microscopy or digital in-line holographic microscopy. Our program detects the 2D lateral positions of particles with an algorithm based on the isosceles triangle transform, and reconstructs their 3D axial positions by a fast implementation of the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld model using a radial intensity profile.

To validate the accuracy and performance of our program, we first track the 2D position of polystyrene particles using bright field and digital holographic microscopy. Second, we determine the 3D particle position by analyzing synthetic and experimentally acquired holograms. This result agrees with computational fluid dynamic simulations. To enhance usability and to make it easy to implement new functions we used object-oriented programming.

Um UTracker is suitable for studies related to: Creative Commons by 4. However, in terms of accuracy, reliable particle tracking is a challenging task since results depend on sample illumination, particle overlap, motion blur and noise from recording sensors. Additionally, the computational performance is also an issue if, for example, a computationally expensive process is executed, such as axial particle position reconstruction from digital holographic microscopy data. We have fabricated the 1. Measurement results of optical and electrical characteristics of PIN photodetector chip were the following: Microwave model of photodetector was developed and verified by measurements of scattering matrix.

The implementation of broadband up to 20 GHz hybrid integrated matching and biasing circuit for high-speed photodetector is presented. Knowledge gaps and research needs were identified in all research areas. Furthermore, the potential for methodological advancements by using gender theoretical concepts was depicted. Insights of this interdisciplinary research are relevant for practice areas such as environmental health protection, health promotion, environmental justice, and environmental health monitoring. Implications from mineral chemistry and fluid inclusions.

Scanning electron microscope SEM , Electron microprobe EMPA and fluid inclusion studies of the ore body, as well as geochemical analyses of country rocks were performed to determine the nature and characteristics of the mineralizing fluid responsible for Au-Cu deposits in Um Balad area, Northern Eastern Desert of Egypt. The Um Balad Au-Cu deposits are confined to well developed-quartz veins and veinlets cutting through the hosting country rocks.

Wallrock alterations are represented by propylitic and argillic types. The main ore minerals are represented by gold, chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, malachite, covellite and goethite. While, geffroyite, cuprite, chrysocolla, pseudomalachite, britholite, wolframite, scheelite, hematite and rutile are detected as minor constituents. The mineralization had been developed in the shallow levels, beneath the water table at depth of m, rather than common mesothermal vein-type deposits in Egypt.

Magmatic water have been suggested as the main source for the mineralized fluid. The transportation of the gold metal seems to be happen as bisulfide complexes in moderately acidic environment. The deposition was resulted from combination of changes in physico-chemical parameters. The aim of this study was to define the accuracy of UM , an automated oscillometric device for office use coupled to several cuffs for different arm sizes, according to the International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension. The validation was performed in 33 individuals.

Their mean age was Four sequential readings were taken by observers 1 and 2 using a double-headed stethoscope and a mercury sphygmomanometer, whereas three BP readings were taken by the supervisor using the test instrument. The differences between the readings provided by the device and the mean observer measurements were calculated. Therefore, each device measurement was compared with the previous and the next mean observer measurement.

The validation results fulfilled all the European Society of Hypertension revision Protocol criteria for the general population and passed all validation grades. On average, the device overestimated systolic BP by 1. These data show that the UM device coupled to several cuffs for different ranges of arm circumference met the requirements for validation according to the International Protocol and can be recommended for clinical use in the adult population.
