Full textAbstract:
Abstract. In this paper, a novel approach of grasp planning is applied to find out the appropriate grasp points for a reconfigurable parallel robot called PARAGRIP (Parallel Gripping). This new handling system is able to manipulate objects in the six-dimensional Cartesian space by several robotic arms using only six actuated joints. After grasping, the contact elements at the end of the underactuated arm mechanisms are connected to the object which forms a closed loop mechanism similar to the architecture of parallel manipulators. As the mounting and grasp points of the arms can easily be changed, the manipulator can be reconfigured to match the user's preferences and needs. This paper raises the question, how and where these grasp points are to be placed on the object to perform well for a certain manipulation task. This paper was presented at the IFToMM/ASME International Workshop on Underactuated Grasping (UG2010), 19 August 2010, Montréal, Canada.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. Human safety becomes critical when robot enters the human environment. Compliant control can be used to address some safety issues in human-robot physical interaction. This paper proposes an integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) based compliance control scheme for the Bristol Robotics Laboratory's humanoid BERT II robot arm. Apart from introducing a model reference compliance controller, the ISMC scheme is aimed to deal with the robot arm dynamic model's inaccuracies and un-modelled nonlinearities. The control scheme consists of a feedback linearization (FL) and an ISMC part. In addition, a posture controller has been incorporated to employ the redundant DOF and generate human like motion. The desired level of compliance can be tuned by selecting the stiffness and damping parameters in the sliding mode variable (compliance reference model). The results show that the compliant control is feasible at different levels for BERT II in simulation and experiment. The positioning control has been satisfactorily achieved and nonlinearities and un-modelled dynamics have been successfully overcome.

Full textAbstract:
Postural sway during quiet stance is attenuated by actively maintained contact of the index finger with a stationary surface, even if the level of applied force (<1 N) cannot provide mechanical stabilization. In this situation, changes in force level at the fingertip lead changes in center of foot pressure by ∼250 ms. These and related findings indicate that stimulation of the fingertip combined with proprioceptive information about the hand and arm can serve as an active sensor of body position relative to the point of contact. A geometric analysis of the relationship between hand and torso displacement during body sway led to the prediction that arm and hand proprioceptive and finger somatosensory information about body sway would be maximized with finger contact in the plane of body sway. Therefore, the most postural stabilization should be possible with such contact. To test this analysis, subjects touched a laterally versus anteriorly placed surface while in each of two stances: the heel-to-toe tandem Romberg stance that reduces medial-lateral stability and the heel-to-heel, toes-outward, knees-bent, “duck stance” that reduces fore-aft stability. Postural sway was always least with finger contact in the unstable plane: for the tandem stance, lateral fingertip contact was significantly more effective than frontal contact, and, for the duck stance, frontal contact was more effective than lateral fingertip contact. Force changes at the fingertip led changes in center of pressure of the feet by ∼250 ms for both fingertip contact locations for both test stances. These results support the geometric analysis, which showed that 1) arm joint angles change by the largest amount when fingertip contact is maintained in the plane of greatest sway, and 2) the somatosensory cues at the fingertip provide both direction and amplitude information about sway when the finger is contacting a surface in the unstable plane.

Full textAbstract:
Cardiac iron overload causes most deaths in β-thalassemia major. The efficacy of deferasirox in reducing or preventing cardiac iron overload was assessed in 192 patients with β-thalassemia in a 1-year prospective, multicenter study. The cardiac iron reduction arm (n = 114) included patients with magnetic resonance myocardial T2* from 5 to 20 ms (indicating cardiac siderosis), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 56% or more, serum ferritin more than 2500 ng/mL, liver iron concentration more than 10 mg Fe/g dry weight, and more than 50 transfused blood units. The prevention arm (n = 78) included otherwise eligible patients whose myocardial T2* was 20 ms or more. The primary end point was the change in myocardial T2* at 1 year. In the cardiac iron reduction arm, the mean deferasirox dose was 32.6 mg/kg per day. Myocardial T2* (geometric mean ± coefficient of variation) improved from a baseline of 11.2 ms (± 40.5%) to 12.9 ms (± 49.5%) (+16%; P < .001). LVEF (mean ± SD) was unchanged: 67.4 (± 5.7%) to 67.0 (± 6.0%) (−0.3%; P = .53). In the prevention arm, baseline myocardial T2* was unchanged from baseline of 32.0 ms (± 25.6%) to 32.5 ms (± 25.1%) (+2%; P = .57) and LVEF increased from baseline 67.7 (± 4.7%) to 69.6 (± 4.5%) (+1.8%; P < .001). This prospective study shows that deferasirox is effective in removing and preventing myocardial iron accumulation. This study is registered at http://clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00171821.

Full textAbstract:
The octopus arm provides a unique model for neuromuscular systems of flexible appendages. We previously reported the electrical compactness of the arm muscle cells and their rich excitable properties ranging from fast oscillations to overshooting action potentials. Here we characterize the voltage-activated ionic currents in the muscle cell membrane. We found three depolarization-activated ionic currents: 1) a high-voltage-activated L-type Ca2+ current, which began activating at approximately −35 mV, was eliminated when Ca2+ was substituted by Mg2+, was blocked by nifedipine, and showed Ca2+-dependent inactivation. This current had very rapid activation kinetics (peaked within milliseconds) and slow inactivation kinetics (τ in the order of 50 ms). 2) A delayed rectifier K+ current that was totally blocked by 10 mM TEA and partially blocked by 10 mM 4-aminopyridine (4AP). This current exhibited relatively slow activation kinetics (τ in the order of 15 ms) and inactivated only partially with a time constant of ∼150 ms. And 3) a transient A-type K+ current that was totally blocked by 10 mM 4AP and was partially blocked by 10 mM TEA. This current exhibited very fast activation kinetics (peaked within milliseconds) and inactivated with a time constant in the order of 60 ms. Inactivation of the A-type current was almost complete at −40 mV. No voltage-dependent Na+ current was found in these cells. The octopus arm muscle cells generate fast (∼3 ms) overshooting spikes in physiological conditions that are carried by a slowly inactivating L-type Ca2+ current.

Full textAbstract:
1. To address the problem of the coordination of a redundant number of degrees of freedom in motor control, we analyzed the influence of voluntary trunk movements on the arm endpoint trajectory during reaching. 2. Subjects made fast noncorrected planar movements of the right arm from a near to a far target located in the ipsilateral work space at a 45 degrees angle to the sagittal midline of the trunk. These reaching movements were combined with a forward or a backward sagittal motion of the trunk. 3. The direction, positional error, curvature, and velocity profile of the endpoint trajectory remained invariant regardless of trunk movements. Trunk motion preceded endpoint motion by approximately 175 ms, continued during endpoint movement to the target, and outlasted it by 200 ms. This sequence of trunk and arm movements was observed regardless of the direction of the endpoint trajectory (to or from the far target) or trunk movements (forward or backward). 4. Our data imply that reaching movements result from two control synergies: one coordinates trunk and arm movements leaving the position of the endpoint unchanged, and the other produces interjoint coordination shifting the arm endpoint to the target. The use of functionally different synergies may underlie a solution of the redundancy problem.

"Self-moved target eye tracking in control and deafferented subjects: roles of arm motor command and proprioception in arm-eye coordination." Journal of Neurophysiology 76, no. 2 (1996): 1133–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.1152/jn.1996.76.2.1133.
Full textAbstract:
1. When a visual target is moved by the subject's hand (self-moved target tracking), smooth pursuit (SP) characteristics differ from eye-alone tracking: SP latency is shorter and maximal eye velocity is higher in self-moved target tracking than in eye-alone tracking. The aim of this study was to determine which signals (motor command and/or proprioception) generated during arm motion are responsible for the decreased time interval between arm and eye motion onsets in self-moved target tracking. 2. Six control subjects tracked a visual target whose motion was generated by active or passive movements of the observer's arm in order to determine the role played by arm proprioception in the arm-eye coordination. In a second experiment, the participation of two subjects suffering complete loss of proprioception allowed us to assess the contribution of arm motor command signals. 3. In control subjects, passive movement of the arm led to eye latencies significantly longer (130 ms) than when the arm was actively self-moved (-5 ms:negative values meaning that the eyes actually started to move before the target) but slightly shorter than in eye-alone tracking (150 ms). These observations indicate that active movement of the arm is necessary to trigger short-latency SP of self-moved targets. 4. Despite the lack of proprioceptive information about arm motion, the two deafferented subjects produced early SP (-8 ms on average) when they actively moved their arms. In this respect they did not differ from control subjects. Active control of the arm is thus sufficient to trigger short-latency SP. However, in contrast with control subjects, in deafferented subjects SP gain declined with increasing target motion frequency more rapidly in self-moved target tracking than in eye-alone tracking. 5. The deafferented subjects also tracked a self-moved target while the relationship between arm and target motions was altered either by introducing a delay between arm motion and target motion or by reversing target motion relative to arm motion. As with control subjects, delayed target motion did not affect SP latency. Furthermore, the deafferented subjects adapted to the reversed arm-target relationship faster than control subjects. 6. The results suggest that arm motor command is necessary for the eye-to-arm motion onset synchronization, because eye tracking of the passively moved arm was performed by control subjects with a latency comparable with that of eye-alone tracking of an external target. On the other hand, as evidenced by the data from the deafferented subjects, afferent information does not appear to be necessary for reducing the time between arm motion and SP onsets. However, afferent information appears to contribute to the parametric adjustment between arm motor command and visual information about arm motion.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose To compare the efficacy and safety of weekly paclitaxel in combination with carboplatin administered every 4 weeks to the standard regimen of paclitaxel and carboplatin administered every 3 weeks for the treatment of patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods Four hundred forty-four patients with previously untreated stage IIIB/IV NSCLC were randomly assigned to either arm 1 (n = 223), paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 weekly for 3 of 4 weeks with carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) = 6 mg/mL · min on day 1 of each 4 week cycle, or arm 2 (n = 221), paclitaxel 225 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC = 6 on day 1 of each 3-week cycle. After four cycles of therapy, patients in both treatment arms were eligible to continue weekly paclitaxel (70 mg/m2, 3 of 4 weeks) as maintenance therapy until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Results The objective response rate was 27.6% for arm 1 and 19.2% for arm 2. Median time to progression (TTP) was 18.4 and median survival (MS) was 38.6 weeks for arm 1. For arm 2, the median TTP and MS were 16.7 weeks and 42.9 weeks respectively. Grade 3/4 anemia was more common with arm 1, although grade 2/3 neuropathy and arthralgia were less common. The remainder of the toxicities were similar between the two arms. Conclusion All efficacy parameters were similar between the two treatment arms. The favorable nonhematologic toxicity profile of arm 1 makes this an alternative treatment option for patients with advanced NSCLC.

Full textAbstract:
A method to produce nano silver structures with high purity is pulsing electrolysis. In this paper the effects of potential, ammonia concentration (NH3), silver ion concentration [Ag+], total time, Ton, Toff and Trev on this process were studied. The considered parameters were varied as follows: electrical potential = 5 ? 10 V; [NH3] = 40 ? 80 g/L; [Ag+] = 0.1 ? 0.5 g/L; total time = 15 ? 30 min; Ton = 1 ? 8 ms; Toff = 1 ? 8 ms; and Trev = 0 ? 4 ms. In order to optimize these parameters, the fractional factorial design of experiments was used. A silver dendritic structure was produced with nano size arm. The phase composition and morphology of the synthetized dendritic silver nanostructures was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The optimum condition to synthesize the dendritic silver nano powders were 7.52 V; [NH3] = 64.75 g/L; [Ag+] = 0.45 g/L; total time = 17.59 min; Ton = 6.97 ms; Toff = 4 ms; and Trev = 1.89 ms. A mathematical model was also presented. The predicted silver nano size dendrite arm at the optimum condition was found to be 87.29 nm which was very close to the experimental value of 90 nm.

Paris . Rés. Vmd. Ms. 27, known as Tl.1, or the Thibault Manuscript, is one of the earliest extant sources of lute music, containing twenty-four solos and eighty-six accompaniments for vocal compositions. The manuscript was copied in Italian lute tablature lacking rhythm signs, which makes it inaccessible for modern performance. Each selection contains a full score of the four-part vocal concordance, and the reconstructed lute part in both the original notation and keyboard transcription. The introductory study elaborates upon the creation dates for Tl.1 (ca. 1502-1512) through its relationship with the sources of the time and with the older unwritten tradition of Italian secular music that is apparent in the formal treatment of the music.

In this work magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized through the precipitation method from an aqueous ferrous sulfate solution under ultrasound. A 23 factorial design in duplicate was carried out to determine the best synthesis conditions and to obtain the smallest crystallite sizes. Selected conditions were ultrasound frequency of 593 kHz for 40 min in 1.0 mol L-1 NaOH medium. Average crystallite sizes were of the order of 25 nm. The phase obtained was identified by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) as magnetite. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed polydisperse particles with dimensions around 57 nm, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed average particle diameters around 29 nm, in the same order of magnitude of the crystallite size determined with Scherrer’s equation. These magnetic nanoparticles were used to obtain nanocomposites with polyaniline (PAni). The material was prepared under exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or under heating, from dispersions of the nanoparticles in an acidic solution of aniline. Unlike other synthetic routes reported elsewhere, this new route does not utilize any additional oxidizing agent. XRD analysis showed the appearance of a second crystalline phase in all the PAni-Fe3O4 composites, which was indexed as goethite. Furthermore, the crystallite size decreases nearly 50 % with the increase in the synthesis time. This size decrease suggests that the nanoparticles are consumed during the synthesis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the amount of polyaniline increases with synthesis time. The nanocomposite electric conductivity was around 10-5 S cm-1, nearly one order of magnitude higher than for pure magnetite. Conductivity varied with the amount of PAni in the system, suggesting that the electric properties of the nanocomposites can be tuned according to their composition. Under an external magnetic field the nanocomposites showed hysteresis behavior at room temperature, characteristic of ferromagnetic materials. Saturation magnetization (MS) for pure magnetite was ~ 74 emu g-1. For the PAni-Fe3O4 nanocomposites, MS ranged from ~ 2 to 70 emu g-1, depending on the synthesis conditions. This suggests that composition can also be used to control the magnetic properties of the material.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe use of stable isotope-labeled standards (SIS) is an analytically valid means of quantifying proteins in biological samples. The nature of the labeled standards and their point of insertion in a bottom-up proteomic workflow can vary, with quantification methods utilizing curves in analytically sound practices. A promising quantification strategy for low sample amounts is external standard addition (ExSTA). In ExSTA, multipoint calibration curves are generated in buffer using serially diluted natural (NAT) peptides and a fixed concentration of SIS peptides. Equal concentrations of SIS peptides are spiked into experimental sample digests, with all digests (control and experimental) subjected to solid-phase extraction prior to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Endogenous peptide concentrations are then determined using the regression equation of the standard curves. Given the benefits of ExSTA in large-scale analysis, a detailed protocol is provided herein for quantifying a multiplexed panel of 125 high-to-moderate abundance proteins in undepleted and non-enriched human plasma samples. The procedural details and recommendations for successfully executing all phases of this quantification approach are described. As the proteins have been putatively correlated with various noncommunicable diseases, quantifying these by ExSTA in large-scale studies should help rapidly and precisely assess their true biomarker efficacy.

Nowadays, considerable efforts are invested into development of sustainable nanosystems as front end technology for either Electrospray Ionization (ESI) or Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS). Since their first introduction in MS, nanofluidics demonstrated a high potential to discover novel biopolymer species. These systems confirmed the unique ability to offer structural elucidation of molecular species, which often represent valuable biomarkers of severe diseases. In view of these major advantages of nanofluidics-MS, this chapter reviews the strategies, which allowed a successful development of nanotechnology for MS and the applications in biological and clinical research. The first part will be dedicated to the principles and technical developments of advanced nanosystems for electrospray and MALDI MS. The second part will highlight the most important applications in clinical proteomics and glycomics. Finally, this chapter will emphasize that advanced nanosystems-MS has real perspectives to become a routine method for early diagnosis of severe pathologies.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past 20 years, gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) has been widely used to identify trace organic environmental contaminants and to study the mechanisms of the formation or transformation of organic compounds either by natural or man-made processes. In the area of water and wastewater disinfection, GC/MS has been highly successful in identifying numerous volatile organic chlorination by-products, some of which may pose undesirable health risks to humans and aquatic organisms at concentrations found in some waters. However, despite a considerable amount of research in this area much of the chemistry continues to be poorly understood. Analysis of trace organics by GC/MS relies on the assumption that the compounds to be analyzed are (1) volatile and (2) thermally stable to GC temperatures as high as 300 °C. Because nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a mild and nondestructive method of analysis, it can reveal reactions that occur in water that cannot be observed by GC/MS. Until recently the reactions of amino acids with two or more equivalents of aqueous chlorine were believed to produce aldehydes and nitriles according to equation (1). LeCloirec and Martin have reported that the formation of nitriles in such situations may come in part from the reaction of monochloramine with aldehydes (equation (2)). Because reaction (2) may affect the distribution of products in reaction (1), it was important to determine the relationship between these two reactions. This chapter will review the applications of NMR we have used in studies of the products formed upon chlorination of amino acids.

Matters for which the Union is conferred exclusive competence are matters for which, in principle, the MS have decided to permanently cede powers to the Union. Article 2(1) TFEU defines exclusive Union competence as an area where ‘only the Union may legislate and adopt legally binding acts, the MS being able to do so themselves only if so empowered by the Union or for the implementation of Union acts’. In some of these areas, the ToL has brought about significant clarifications and extensions, in particular concerning the scope of the common commercial policy (see paras [13–15]).

This paper presents an application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to forecast inflation in India during the period 1994-2009. The study presents four different ANN models on the basis of inflation (WPI), economic growth (IIP), and money supply (MS). The first model is a univariate model based on past WPI only. The other three are multivariate models based on WPI and IIP, WPI and MS, WPI, and IIP and MS. In each case, the forecasting performance is measured by mean squared errors and mean absolute deviations. The paper finally concludes that multivariate models show better forecasting performance over the univariate model. In particular, the multivariate ANN model using WPI, IIP, and MS resulted in better performance than the rest of other models to forecast inflation in India.

Full textAbstract:
Patients with central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory demyelinating disease (IDD) usually have acute relapses of neurologic symptoms that frequently remit spontaneously or after corticosteroid administration; they may also present with a progressive neurodegenerative condition, either de novo or after 1 or more acute relapses. Most patients with acute relapses of demyelinating disease do not have severe disability and can be treated as outpatients. Most hospitalizations for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), for instance, are for reasons unrelated to MS, such as infection. However, patients with CNS IDD occasionally present with serious, emergent complications caused directly by CNS inflammation or indirectly by secondary complications, either of which can require critical care management.

Chapter 1 (‘Rules on competition’) of Title VII (‘Common rules on competition, taxation and approximation of laws’) contains two essentially distinct sections that aim at safeguarding undistorted competition within the internal market. Chapter 1 Section 1, entitled ‘Rules applying to undertakings’ predominantly contains rules regarding practices on the part of private actors that are capable of restricting competition in the internal market. Solely Article 106 TFEU is also addressed to MS to the extent that they act through public undertakings or grant undertakings special or exclusive rights. By contrast, Section 2 entitled ‘Aids granted by States’ addresses intervention through state resources that threatens to distort competition in the internal market.

Abstract This is Part 1 of two papers discussing the significance of two key factors of crack like flaw assessment in the Fitness for Service assessment. While FEM analysis technology has been advancing amazingly in recent years, and FEM based fitness-for-service assessment of damaged components, such as crack like flaws and local metal loss assessment, has become mainstream in assessments, it is still important to understand the reference stress solution and the role of each factor in the failure mode to operate the damaged component safely until the end of its life. In API 579-1/ASME FFS-1[1], Part 9, Assessment of Crack like Flaws, those reference stress solutions were developed based on the limit load analysis using Folias factor Mt and surface correction factor Ms. Folias factor Mt and surface correction factor Ms, are factors that account for the bulging effect around flaws. Those factors enable prediction of a maximum allowable pressure of a damaged cylindrical shell from a simple flat plate model that contain same size of defected area. As for Folias factor, Mt, it is well known to express the relationship between the reference stress of a through-wall crack flat plate and a through-wall crack cylinder. The application of Mt is clearly defined in ASME/API 579 FFS-1 part 9C [1], as well as papers by Folias et al. [2][3]. The significance of the surface correction factor for surface flaw, Ms, has not been commonly understood well enough in general. Unfortunately, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1[1] also does not clearly mention its significance and how Ms is to be applied in the stress analysis. Also the detailed discussion of the derivation process of each reference solution was rooted in several papers with different nomenclature and slightly different definition of factors, which can be very confusing. At a glance, surface correction factor, Ms, looks like a similar factor to Mt, and it is tempting to simply apply Ms to primary membrane stress term like Mt, but that is not correct. Eventually, an incorrect application of Ms would lead to an incorrect discussion of a flaw characterization. Often, there is a question about ASME/API 579 FFS-1[1] Part 9C reference stress solutions, especially for ASME/API 579 FFS-1[1] eq.9C.76, from the misunderstanding meaning of the Ms factor. Addressing this issue is important to maintain the understanding and integrity of the Fitness-For-Service technology. In this Part 1 of two papers, authors reviewed and reorganized step by step procedure of each reference stress solutions for flat plates and cylinders. Through this discussion, authors clarified the significance of Mt and Ms that are defined in ASME/API 579 FFS-1[1] Part 9C. In part 2, validation of equations obtained in this paper is discussed based on FEM analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The slider off-track motion is a growing concern for hard disk drives with higher densities. In the present study, a five-degree-of-freedom model was developed for the analysis of the slider off-track motion. The situations of a slider in contact with a single bump and multiple bumps were studied. For a single bump, the excitation to the transverse displacement of the slider is close to an impulse. However, for multiple bumps in a sequence, the excitation gives an effect of a step force function with its plateau value dependent on the circumferential spacing of the bumps, and the rotational speed of the disk. In the case of a bump spacing of 50 μm and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, the transverse displacement may reach a steady-state of more than 1 μm within 10 ms. The off-track motion of the slider is dominated by the rotational mode of the actuator arm and the sway mode of the suspension, and is very weakly affected by other modes.

Full textAbstract:
Many utilities choose critical girth welds in their main steam (MS) and hot reheat (HRH) steam piping by consideration of some combination of the ASME B31.1 Code [1] (Code) highest sustained load and thermal expansion stresses, terminal point locations, and fitting weldments subject to stress intensification. As an alternative, a life management methodology is used to prioritize material damage locations based on realistic stresses and applicable damage mechanisms. This methodology is customized to each piping system, considering applicable affects, such as operating history, measured weldment wall thicknesses, observed support anomalies, actual piping thermal displacements, and more realistic time-dependent multiaxial stresses. The life management methodology for MS and HRH critical girth welds may be considered as a rational approach to determine critical weldment locations for examinations and to determine appropriate reexamination intervals as a risk-based evaluation technique. This methodology has been implemented over the past 15 years to provide more realistic estimates of actual displacements, strains, stresses, and material damage based on the evaluation of field conditions. This high energy piping life consumption (HEPLC) methodology can be described as having three basic phases: data collection, evaluation, and recommendations. The data collection phase includes obtaining design and post construction piping and supports information. The effects of current anomalies are evaluated to prioritize critical examination locations. Results of the examinations at the most critical locations are used to determine the degree of material damage at lead-the-fleet locations. The author has performed many HEPLC studies of MS and HRH piping systems. This paper will provide examples of data collection results and documentation of observed piping system anomalies.

Full textAbstract:
Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) is a technique used for direct sampling of a sample or an analyte deposited on a surface under ambient conditions [1]. In DESI, ionized droplets of a spray are directed towards the sample causing desorption of ions due to exchange of charge and momentum. The resulting ions are carried into an ion trap mass spectrometer and analyzed. DESI was originally demonstrated by Takats et al. [1]. They described the new method and applied the same to analyze various compounds present on a variety of surfaces. Followed by this, several researchers [1–5] have investigated on DESI for a wide range of applications including analysis of pharmaceuticals, explosives detection, natural products discovery and in vivo clinical analysis. Recently, Kauppila et al [5] have introduced porous silicon (pSi) and ultra-thin layer chromatography (UTLC) plates for DESI-MS. Similar or improved sensitivities were obtained with pSi and UTLC surfaces as compared to PMMA and PTFE surfaces. This work presents use of a nanoporous alumina surface [6] for DESI – MS. The DESI – MS performance of nanoporous alumina surface is compared with that of PMMA, which is a popular surface in previous DESI-MS experiments. Optimized operating conditions were determined for the surfaces using BSA tryptic digest as the sample. The results show that the nanoporous alumina surface offers significantly higher ion intensity as compared to the other surfaces.

Full textAbstract:
Saturated pool boiling heat transfer is investigated experimentally on a copper substrate with copper nanoparticle coatings at atmospheric pressure, in terms of critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC). Experiments are carried out on the substrate surface with a diameter of 12 mm using DI water as the working fluid. The coating is formed by stacking copper nanoparticles generated by an aerosol method. The aerosol nanoparticles are generated by a spark discharge generator with nitrogen gas as carrier gas and size-selected prior to electrostatic deposition. The thickness of the coating is quantified by the deposition time. In the present study, copper particles with diameter 35± 5 nm are selected, considering better coverage on the surface, while the deposition time is controlled as 4h and 8h, respectively. The boiling curves and heat transfer coefficient of MS-1 (4h deposition) and MS-2 (8h deposition) were compared with the BS (bare surface). The results show that CHFs of MS-1 and MS-2 are increased by 24% and 36%, respectively compared with the BS, while heat transfer is enhanced as well. High speed visualization tells that the coating provides more active nucleate sites and the hydrophobicity of the coating helps bubbles departure from the surface at low and moderate heat flux. At high heat flux, a hollow well occurs on MSs to supply liquid effectively to avoid dryout. Therefore, CHF and heat transfer are both improved.

Full textAbstract:
EDF is responsible for the production and distribution of electricity on the French islands in Europe and overseas, such as: - Corsica (in the Mediterranean), - Martinique (in the Caribbean), - Guadeloupe (in the Caribbean), - Reunion (in the Indian Ocean), - and French Guiana in South America. Technical and economic studies revealed the viability in these regions of single cycle gas turbine technology for supplying peak demand requirements, or providing transitory means of production pending the installation of heavier production units (conventional thermal power plants, diesel generators or hydropower). After consultations with the major European manufacturers, a list of machines with the capacity to meet the generation specifications, and their characteristics, was prepared. On mainland France EDF had equipped its production units with 24 MW Alsthom MS 5000 and MS 5001 gas turbines. These were little used and studies showed the economic viability of transferring these units to island regions. The program finally adopted was to install the following power generation facilities: JARRY SUD (GUADELOUPE): 2 ALSTHOM MS 5001 – 20 MW – 40 MW KOUROU (FRENCH GUIANA): 2 COOPER ROLLS – 13 MW – 26 MW; 1 ROLLS ROYCE – 11 MW – 11 MW LUCCIANA (CORSICA): 2 ALSTHOM MS 5000 – 24 MW – 48 MW LE PORT (REUNION): 2 ALSTHOM MS 5001 – 20 MW – 40 MW POINTE DES CARRIERES (MARTINIQUE): 2 ALSTHOM MS 5001 – 20 MW – 40 MW or total rated power of: 205 MW The technical details, costs and scheduling of these works are described in the paper. Finally, the authors describe the future development prospects for gas turbines in these regions, and especially certain combined cycle projects for Corsica coupled with a proposed Italy-Corsica-Sardinia natural gas link.

Effect of Spark Discharge Duration and Timing on the Combustion Initiation in a Lean Burn SI Engine. SAE International, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/2021-01-0478.
Full textAbstract:
Meeting the increasingly stringent emission and fuel efficiency standards is the primary objective of the automotive research. Lean/diluted combustion is a promising avenue to realize high-efficiency combustion and reduce emissions in SI engines. Under the diluted conditions, the flame propagation speed is reduced because of the reduced charge reactivity. Enhancing the in-cylinder charge motion and turbulence, and thereby increasing the flame speed, is a possible way to harness the combustion process in SI engines. However, the charge motion can have a significant effect on the spark ignition process because of the reduced discharge duration and frequent restrikes. A longer discharge duration can aid in the formation of the self-sustained flame kernel and subsequent stable ignition. Therefore, an empirical study is undertaken to investigate the effect of the discharge duration and ignition timing on the ignition and early combustion in a port fueled SI engine, operated under lean conditions. The discharge duration is modulated from 1 ms to 8 ms through a continuous discharge strategy. The discharge current and voltage measurements are recorded during the engine operation to characterize the discharge process. The in-cylinder charge is diluted using fresh air to achieve lean combustion. The in-cylinder pressure measurement and heat release analysis are used to investigate the ignition and combustion characteristics of the engine. Preliminary results indicate that while the discharge duration has a marginal effect on the ignition delay, cyclic variations are notably impacted.
