Abstract:
Routine surveillance data underestimate incidence of foodborne gastrointestinal (FGI) illness and provide little information on illness related to travel. We analysed data from the Welsh Health Survey to estimate population incidence, and to examine risk factors for FGI and factors associated with consulting a doctor. Reported frequency of any FGI in the 3 months before interview was 20·0% [95% confidence interval (CI) 19·5–20·4; equivalent to 0·8 episodes per person-year], and for travel-related FGI was 1·6% (95% CI 1·5–1·8). In the final model, sex, age group, marital status, self-reported health, long-term illness, smoking and alcohol consumption were all independent predictors of FGI. People who consulted a doctor were likely to be older, in poorer health, taking regular medication, or to report mental illness. FGI is common but risk factors for illness and consultation differ and impressions of the epidemiology of the disease based on surveillance data are therefore distorted.

Abstract:
In unstable atmospheric conditions, using on-board irradiance sensors is one of the only robust methods to convert unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based optical remote sensing data to reflectance factors. Normally, such sensors experience significant errors due to tilting of the UAV, if not installed on a stabilizing gimbal. Unfortunately, such gimbals of sufficient accuracy are heavy, cumbersome, and cannot be installed on all UAV platforms. In this paper, we present the FGI Aerial Image Reference System (FGI AIRS) developed at the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) and a novel method for optical and mathematical tilt correction of the irradiance measurements. The FGI AIRS is a sensor unit for UAVs that provides the irradiance spectrum, Real Time Kinematic (RTK)/Post Processed Kinematic (PPK) GNSS position, and orientation for the attached cameras. The FGI AIRS processes the reference data in real time for each acquired image and can send it to an on-board or on-cloud processing unit. The novel correction method is based on three RGB photodiodes that are tilted 10° in opposite directions. These photodiodes sample the irradiance readings at different sensor tilts, from which reading of a virtual horizontal irradiance sensor is calculated. The FGI AIRS was tested, and the method was shown to allow on-board measurement of irradiance at an accuracy better than ±0.8% at UAV tilts up to 10° and ±1.2% at tilts up to 15°. In addition, the accuracy of FGI AIRS to produce reflectance-factor-calibrated aerial images was compared against the traditional methods. In the unstable weather conditions of the experiment, both the FGI AIRS and the on-ground spectrometer were able to produce radiometrically accurate and visually pleasing orthomosaics, while the reflectance reference panels and the on-board irradiance sensor without stabilization or tilt correction both failed to do so. The authors recommend the implementation of the proposed tilt correction method in all future UAV irradiance sensors if they are not to be installed on a gimbal.

Abstract:
Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is considered as the potential replacement of flake graphite iron (FGI) for the manufacturing of new generation high power diesel engines. Use of CGI, that have higher strength and stiffness as compared to FGI, allows engine to perform at higher peak pressure with higher fuel efficiency and lower emission rate. However, not only for its potential, CGI is of an area of interest in metal cutting research because of its poor machinability as compared to that of FGI. The higher strength of CGI causes a faster tool wear rate in continuous machining operation even in low cutting speed as compared to that for FGI. This study investigated the influence of cutting edge geometry at different cutting parameters on the machinability of CGI in terms of tool life, cutting force and surface roughness and integrity in internal turning operation under wet condition. It has been seen that the cutting edge radius has significant effect on tool life and cutting forces. The results can be used to select optimum cutting tool geometry for continuous machining of CGI.

Abstract:
Using solid-phase methods we have synthesized human insulin-like-growth-factor-I (IGF-I) fragment 21-40 (IGF-I 21-40) and the peptide derived from the 5′----3′ translation of the complementary nucleic acid of this peptide, ‘I-FGI 20-40’ (the complementary peptide). According to a recently proposed theory of molecular recognition, these two peptides should bind specifically to each other. We have tested this theory by using both solid- and solution-phase direct-binding assays for this complementary-peptide pair. We have also investigated the ability of I-FGI 20-40 to interfere with native IGF-I binding during radioimmunoassay (r.i.a.), radio-receptor (r.r.a.) assay and ligand-blot analysis of IGF-binding proteins. We have obtained no evidence of any interaction between IGF-I 21-40 and I-FGI 20-40 in either solid- or solution-phase assays. In addition, I-FGI 20-40 does not interfere in the assays used to detect IGF-I binding antibodies (r.i.a.), receptors (r.r.a.) or binding proteins (ligand blots). Our data therefore question the universality of this particular theory of molecular recognition.

Abstract:
Flake (FGI) and spheroidal (SGI) graphite cast irons are often used to produce workpieces, which often need to be machined. Machinability differences under various machining methods are the basis for choosing machining equipment and technology. In this work, FGI and SGI were used to produce tractor front brackets, and the machinability of both materials under turning and drilling processes was compared. The machinability (turning and drilling ability) has been evaluated in terms of machining load, chips shape, surface roughness, and tool temperature. The influence of materials microstructure and thermal conductivity on the machinability was analyzed. In the turning process, the cutting force and its standard deviation of the FGI were larger than the SGI due to the higher volume fraction of pearlite. The surface roughness was similar in both materials. In the drilling process, the even action of the friction and cutting force on the bit turned into similar drilling loads for both materials. Higher friction and lower thermal conductivity caused a higher bit temperature in SGI drilling compared to FGI. The chip breaking was worse in SGI drilling, where the longer chips scratched the internal surface of the holes, resulting in the higher surface roughness.

Abstract:
Radiation-related tissue injuries after medical radiation procedures, such as fluoroscopically guided intervention (FGI), have been reported in patients. Real-time monitoring of medical radiation exposure administered to patients during FGI is important to avoid such tissue injuries. In our previous study, we reported a novel (prototype) real-time radiation system for FGI. However, the prototype sensor indicated low sensitivity to radiation exposure from the side and back, although it had high-quality fundamental characteristics. Therefore, we developed a novel 4-channel sensor with modified shape and size than the previous sensor, and evaluated the basic performance (i.e., measured the energy, dose linearity, dose rate, and angular dependence) of the novel and previous sensors. Both sensors of our real-time dosimeter system demonstrated the low energy dependence, excellent dose linearity (R2 = 1.0000), and good dose rate dependence (i.e., within 5% statistical difference). Besides, the sensitivity of 0° ± 180° in the horizontal and vertical directions was almost 100% sensitivity for the new sensor, which significantly improved the angular dependence. Moreover, the novel dosimeter exerted less influence on X-ray images (fluoroscopy) than other sensors because of modifying a small shape and size. Therefore, the developed dosimeter system is expected to be useful for measuring the exposure of patients to radiation doses during FGI procedures.

Abstract:
Acoustical privacy and noise control design and implementation guidance is needed, regarding Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) criteria for outpatient medical facilty tenant improvements (TI). TI in existing commercial buildings or medical office buildings may not have capital budgets or expected facility/lease life that hospitals enjoy. Full conformance to FGI criteria and guidelines may be limited; by economic feasibility and by constructability. Design professionals can use "good practice" space planning, demising assembly selection, and electronic sound masking to achieve appropriate acoustical privacy within reasonable capital expense budgets. Consider FGI criteria for demising partition, ceiling, door and window selections plus infrastructure equipment and material selections that can provide cost-effective lightweight, common construction standards. The objectives are to protect the privacy of patient information and provide quiet spaces, free of transient disturbance for clear speech communications. Continuous ambient sound increases speech privacy including speech transmitted from enclosed quiet spaces. Criteria for acoustics, speech privacy,continuous noise and masking exists in FGI. Temporal level changes (on/off, transients) and tonality (spectrum smoothness or balance) should be considered in basis-of-design (BoD). This paper will present design guidelines for selecting demising assemblies and supplemental sound masking for outpatient clinical spaces in commercial or medical office buildings.

Abstract:
Summary This paper presents an experimental and numerical study that delineates the co-optimization of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in water-alternating-gas (WAG) and simultaneous-water-and-gas (SWAG) injection schemes. Various miscibility conditions and injection schemes are investigated. Experiments are conducted on a homogeneous, outcrop Bentheimer sandstone sample. A mixture of hexane (C6) and decane (C10) is used for the oil phase. Experiments are run at 70°C and three different pressures (1,300, 1,700, and 2,100 psi) to represent immiscible, near-miscible, and miscible displacements, respectively. WAG displacements are performed at a WAG ratio of 1:1, and a fractional gas injection (FGI) of 0.5 is used for SWAG displacements. The effect of varying FGI is also examined for the near-miscible SWAG displacement. Oil recovery, differential pressure, and compositions are recorded during experiments. A co-optimization function for CO2 storage and incremental oil production is defined and calculated by use of the measured data for each experiment. The results of SWAG and WAG displacements are compared with the experimental data of continuous-gas-injection (CGI) displacements. A compositional commercial reservoir simulator is used to examine the recovery mechanisms and the effect of mobile water on gas mobility. Experimental observations demonstrate that the WAG displacements generally yield higher co-optimization function than CGI and SWAG with FGI = 0.5 displacements. Numerical simulations show a remarkable reduction in gas relative permeability for the WAG and SWAG displacements compared with CGI displacements, as a result of which the vertical-sweep efficiency of CO2 is improved. More reduction of gas relative permeability is observed in the miscible and near-miscible displacements than in the immiscible displacement. The reduced gas relative permeability lowers the water-shielding effect, thereby enhancing oil recovery and CO2-storage efficiency. More water-shielding effect is observed in SWAG with FGI = 0.5 than in WAG. However, increasing FGI from 0.5 to 0.75 in the near-miscible SWAG displacement shows a significant increase in oil recovery, which is attributed to reduced water-shielding effect. So, an optimal FGI needs to be determined to minimize the water-shielding effect for efficient SWAG displacements.

A dificuldade de acesso ao crédito é um dos maiores obstáculos para a sobrevivência das pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs). Uma das principais razões para isso é a falta de garantias. Essa situação se reflete na baixa competitividade e alta desigualdade do Brasil. Os sistemas de garantia fornecem esta garantia. Esta tese analisa o papel potencial dos esquemas de garantia para promover a inclusão financeira no Brasil. Para alcançar esse objetivo, a pesquisa analisa a competitividade e a desigualdade do Brasil e sua relação com o acesso ao crédito. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo de caso sobre o Fundo Garantidor para Investimentos (FGI), utilizando abordagem qualitativa e estatísticas descritivas. A coleta de dados baseou-se em entrevistas semiestruturadas, fontes secundárias, análise de documentos e dados operacionais. A análise utilizou os modelos de construção e reparação de confiança entre organizações, o papel dos bancos nacionais de desenvolvimento nos sistemas de garantia e o benchmark internacional para governança e eficácia dos esquemas de garantia. Os resultados demonstram que o FGI conseguiu criar uma governança adequada e estabelecer confiança com os bancos. Até 2017, 26 bancos contrataram mais de 32 mil operações no valor de 1,9 bilhões de dólares, com adicionalidades comparáveis ao benchmark internacional. No entanto, estudos adicionais são necessários para estabelecer uma ligação entre a adicionalidade dos esquemas de garantia e o desenvolvimento social e econômico.
Difficult access to credit is one of the greatest obstacles to the survival of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). One of the major reasons for this is the lack of guarantees. This situation is reflected in Brazil’s low competitiveness and high inequality. Guarantee Schemes provide this guarantee. This thesis analyzes the potential role of guarantee schemes to promote financial inclusion in Brazil. To achieve this objective the research analyzes Brazil competitiveness and inequality and their relation to credit access. The methodology used was a case study over the Fundo Garantidor para Investimentos (Investment Guarantee Fund - FGI), using a qualitative approach and descriptive statistics. Data collection relied on semi-structured interviews, secondary sources, document analysis and operational data. The analysis used inter-organization trust building and repair models, the role of national development banks in the guarantee systems and the international benchmark for governance and effectiveness of guarantee schemes. The results demonstrate that FGI achieve adequate governance and established trust with the banks. By 2017, 26 banks contracted more than 32,000 operations worth 1.9 billion dollars, with additionalities comparable to the international benchmark. However, additional studies are necessary to establish a link between the guarantee schemes additionality and social and economic development.

Abstract:
Thailand has been one of significant recipients of foreign direct investment (FDI) among developing countries over the last 30 years, and has recorded rapid and sustained growth rates in a number of different industrial categories. Thailand has shown a clear policy transition for foreign investment over time from an import-substitution regime to an export-oriented regime. Before the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis (1985-1996), Thailand had the fastest growing level of exports in manufactured goods among Asian economies. FDI plays a significant role in the Thai economy. Thailand has been pursuing different foreign investment policies at different times depending on the development objectives and economic situation in the country. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the determinants of FDI and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) in Thailand using the extended Gravity Model. Panel data is used to estimate and evaluate the empirical results based on the data for the years 1980 to 2004. It also examines the FDI flows between different locations and their geographical distances in Thailand. The primary research question addresses what factors motivate, attract, and sustain the FDI and FPI in Thailand. In addition, this study also examines the effects of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis on the inflows of FDI and FPI into Thailand. The results show that the inflows of FDI in Thailand, which are supply-driven, are significantly influenced by its 21 largest investing partners. The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis has no impact on the determinants of the inflows of FDI into Thailand, but positively influences the inflows of FPI into Thailand. Our results also show that increases in GDP and trade between investing partners and Thailand potentially attract more FDI and FPI into Thailand. Investing partners closer to Thailand draw more portfolio investment into Thailand than distant partners – emphasising that distance has a negative impact on the portfolio investment but a negligible impact on the FDI.

Resumo: Na presente tese, investigo as ¿construções do tipo foi fez¿, doravante CFFs, presentes na modalidade falada do Português do Brasil (PB). Essas construções apresentam propriedades morfossintáticas bem definidas, além de desempenharem um papel particular na situação de fala. Esta tese, desenvolvida sob o paradigma do funcionalismo lingüístico (vertente americana), se baseia em dados oriundos de amostras reais de fala, coletadas a partir do banco de dados constituído por pesquisadores e bolsistas do Projeto PEUL da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Para sustentar minhas hipóteses e examinar alguns fatores tradicionalmente utilizados nas pesquisas sociolingüísticas, trabalhei com 16 grupos de fatores que foram operacionalizados através do pacote VARBRUL, principalmente dos programas MAKECELL e CROSSTAB. As CFFs se formam a partir de uma seqüência mínima de V1 e V2, em que V1 corresponde a um dos verbos ir, chegar e pegar e V2 é relativamente livre. Essas construções podem ocorrer sob a forma de dois tipos distintos. No tipo 1, V1 e V2 são interligados pela conjunção e. No tipo 2, V1 e V2 apenas se justapõem. Ademais, V1 e V2 partilham flexões de tempo e pessoa e têm sujeitos correferenciais. Quanto à sua função, as CFFs atuam no nível discursivo-pragmático, dramatizando ou enfatizando os eventos descritos em V2. Uma vez que, além das propriedades exclusivas de sua categoria, apresentam ainda outras que são compartilhadas por diferentes tipos de construções, as CFFs não se encaixam no modelo clássico de categorização. Propus que apenas um modelo mais flexível, como aquele que prevê a existência de semelhança de famílias e de protótipos, é adequado para dar conta dos dados. Embora as CFFs possam ser concebidas como um membro de um continuum de construções de predicação complexa, com ocorrência em várias línguas, no que se restringe ao PB, as CFFs permanecem distintas de todos os outros tipos de construções. Tendo em vista as mudanças sofridas por ir, chegar e pegar que levaram ao desenvolvimento das CFFs, atesto que esses verbos percorrem os mesmos estágios iniciais previstos nos processos de gramaticalização, sem que, no entanto, tenham adquirido uma função gramatical prototípica, como tempo, aspecto e modo, mas sim uma função pragmática. Ao considerar que os verbos ir, chegar e pegar se gramaticalizaram, dando origem às CFFs, deixo claro que esses verbos exercem, nessas construções, uma função diversa daquelas originalmente previstas nos estudos de gramaticalização
Abstract: The present thesis examines the ¿foi fez constructions¿ (Lit. ¿Went Did constructions¿), henceforth FFCs, in spoken Brazilian Portuguese. FFCs exhibit definite morphosyntactic properties associated to the uses of the verbs ir (go), chegar (arrive) e pegar (take) and they also play a specific role on the speech situation. This thesis is developed under the functionalism paradigm (American version) and is based on data, collected from the PEUL Project database. In order to support my hypothesis and analyze some traditional sociolinguistics features, I adopted the methodological principles from the Theory of Linguistic Variation to make a quantitative analysis, using the VARBRUL, mainly the programs MAKECELL and CROSSTAB. FFCs consist minimally of a sequence of V1 and V2, where V1 and V2 share inflections for verb tense and subject. V1 is one of the verbs ir ¿go¿, chegar ¿arrive¿, and, pegar ¿take¿ and V2 is relatively open. V1 and V2 can be contiguous, type 1, or can be connected by e ¿and¿, type 2. The chief function of V1 in FFCs appears to be a discourse-pragmatic one, dramatizing or emphasizing the events codified by V2. FFCs do not constitute a sharply bounded grammatical category. As they share a number of resemblances with some other major construction, they cannot be analyzed in terms of discrete classical categories. I suggested that only a more flexible kind of categorization, as family resemblance and prototypic approaches, is appropriate to account for the data. Notwithstanding FFCs are understood here as a member of a group of complex predicates crosslinguistically observed, as far as Portuguese is concerned, they remain a distinctive class of grammatical construction. Furthermore I verified that ir, chegar e pegar have undergone changes, which result on the development of FFCs and concur with the first stages of grammaticalization. However, I stress that FFCs do not developed a prototypical grammatical function, like tense, aspect and mood, traditionally used to account for grammaticalization. Rather they developed a pragmatic one. Although I consider the development of FFCs as a result of a grammaticalization process, it is necessary to emphasize that they acquire a function different from those expected for grammaticalized items

Abstract:
El endeudamiento público es una herramienta muy utilizada, sobre todo en países deficitarios como Argentina. Uno de los organismos que brinda este tipo de financiamiento, y al que han recurrido frecuentemente los gobiernos de nuestro país es el Fondo Monetario Internacional. Es producto de esta recurrencia que surge la importancia de analizar esta organización, cuáles son sus funciones, y específicamente, intensificar el estudio sobre último acuerdo establecido. Todo préstamo genera intereses, y por ello es necesario generar los recursos para cubrirlos, como también su capital. El objetivo de esta tesina es lograr entender y definir cuál es la vinculación entre la tasa de endeudamiento de acuerdos establecidos y la tasa de crecimiento requerida. Esta tesina es de tipo descriptiva y correlacional, ya que detalla el problema observado y las causas que llevaron a la situación analizada y, por otro lado, se efectúa un análisis de la vinculación entre las variables que se plantean en el problema. Se trata de un estudio no experimental ya que se observan las variables tal y como suceden en su contexto natural. La metodología combina técnicas cualitativas, como el análisis de documentos, bibliografía y notas periodísticas, con técnicas cuantitativas en base al análisis de indicadores económicos. Los resultados indican que, si bien existen países con un alto índice de endeudamiento que cuentan con economías y tasas de crecimiento positivas, estos son una excepción a la regla. Y por lo general, los países que recurren frecuentemente al endeudamiento entran en un círculo vicioso del que les es dificultoso salir, especialmente en países con economías inestables y subdesarrolladas como la de nuestro país.

O mundo do trabalho precarizado e flexibilizado repercute sobre a saúde e o caráter do trabalhador e incide no contexto familiar, ecoando negativamente na efetivação dos direitos da criança e do adolescente. Diante disso, esta pesquisa propõe a expansão da aplicação da Doutrina da Proteção Integral no Direito do Trabalho, dentro de um enfoque baseado na concepção do princípio da conciliação trabalho-família. Em um primeiro momento, apresentou-se a Doutrina da Proteção Integral e a necessidade de sua expansão. Ainda se estudou, sob a perspectiva do Modelo Bioecológico do desenvolvimento humano de Uire Bronfenbrenner, a família e o desenvolvimento infantil. Em um segundo momento, analisaram-se as relações de trabalho hodiernas, o processo de precarização e flexibilização do labor e seus impactos sobre a saúde e o caráter do trabalhador. Posteriormente, em um terceiro momento, verificaram-se as repercussões do mundo do trabalho dos pais sobre o desenvolvimento infantil, levando-se em consideração o impacto sobre os fatores materiais e imateriais da família que interferem sobre o desenvolvimento da criança e do adolescente. Por fim, no último momento, fez-se a proposta da expansão da aplicação da Doutrina da Proteção Integral de forma transversal no Direito do Trabalho, dentro de um enfoque principiológico baseado na concepção do princípio conciliação trabalho-família. Nesse âmbito, fez-se o cotejo das medidas conciliação trabalho-família existentes no Brasil e em Portugal, destacando-se o mister da implantação de tais medidas sob o viés do melhor interesse da criança, abandonando-se a concepção adultocêntrica a fim de proteger os fatores materiais e imateriais indispensáveis ao desenvolvimento infantil, os quais tem sido, nos tempos coevos, impactados pelo processo de precarização/flexibilização das relações de trabalho que repercute no ambiente laboral dos pais
The world of labor that is precarious and flexible impacts the worker´s health and character and impacts the family context. It has negative repercussions to the efetivation of children´s rights. In face of that this research proposes the expansion of aplication of the Doctrine of Integral Protection in the Work´s Law inside the concepcion of the principle of work-family conciliation. At first, was presented the Doctrine of Integral Protection and the need for its expansion. Still, family and child developmente had been studied from the perspective of the Bronfenbrenner´s Bioecological Model of human development. In a second step, was analyzed the relationships of today's world of work, the process of precariousness and flexibility of labor and its impacts on health and character of the worker. Later, in a third time, was studied the repercussions of the parent´s workplace in child development, taking into account the impact on tangible and intangible factors of family that affect the development of children and adolescents. Finally, at the last moment, was presented the proposal of expanding the application of the Doctrine of Integral Protection transversely in Labour Law, in a principled approach based on the design principle of work-family conciliation. In this context, had been maden the comparison of workfamily conciliation measures in Brazil and in Portugal, especially the craft of implementing such measures under the bias of the child's best interest, abandoning the adult-design in order to protect tangible and intangible factors essential for child development, which has been, actually, impacted by the process of precariousness / flexibility of labor relations that resonates in the work environment of the parents

Abstract:
L'utilisation des milieux superacides modifiant la réactivité des substrats organiques permet d'effectuer de nouvelles réactions et d'accéder rapidement à des produits originaux difficilement accessibles par les méthodes classiques. Il est alors possible de réaliser de nombreuses transformations directes, notamment des réactions de fluoration originales. Ce travail est consacré à l'étude de la réactivité de dérivés azotés insaturés en milieu superacide HF/SbF5 et en particulier au développement de nouvelles méthodes de fluoration de ce type de composés. Basée sur la formation d'intermédiaires dicationiques superélectrophiles, une nouvelle réaction d'hydrofluoration a été développée. L'utilisation de l'activation superélectrophile en milieu superacide a également permis la synthèse originale de sulfonamides cycliques et/ou fluorés. Après identification d'intermédiaires réactionnels polycationiques par analyse RMN in situ, une nouvelle méthode de synthèse de dérivés azotés gem-chlorofluorés et gem-difluorés a finalement été élaborée
In superacid the reactivity of organic substrates is strongly modified and new reactions can be performed, which allows a rapid access to original products. In these conditions, multiple direct transformations occur and especially original fluorination reactions. This work was devoted to the study of the reactivity of unsaturated nitrogen derivatives in superacid (HF/SbF5) and to the development of new methods of fluorination of these compounds. Based on the formation of superelectrophilic dicationic intermediates, a new reaction of hydrofluorination has been developed. The use of superelectrophilic activation in superacid also allowed the original synthesis of benzofused sultams and/or fluorinated sulfonamides. After identification of reaction polycationic intermediates by NMR in situ analysis, a new synthetic route to gem-chlorofluoro nitrogen derivatives or gem-difluoro nitrogen derivatives has finally been set up

Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) acquired an important role in the development process of the global economy. FDI inward stock was equivalent to an average of 32% of GDP for OECD countries in 2013. However, FDI affects a country’s Balance of Payments (BoP) in two ways: FDI flows are recorded in the BoP financial account while returns on FDI affect the BoP current account. Therefore, part of the positive contribution of inward FDI to a country on its financial account could be potentially offset by a negative contribution of FDI returns on the current account. The intent of this work is to complement the research on FDI determinants by introducing FDI returns as a variable in a gravity model where bilateral FDI outflows are the dependent variable. Moreover, using outward FDI flows as the dependent variable, the work allows looking at the behavior of Multinational Corporations (MNC) investing abroad. The results show that MNCs repatriate returns generating from the investments they make abroad. This is particularly true when high-income countries are involved: MNCs from high-income countries repatriate returns to their home countries from FDI made anywhere, while MNCs from middle-income countries repatriate returns from FDI in high-income countries. Repatriated returns are a relevant variable determining the value of FDI that a country makes in another country. The information on FDI returns is starting to become available to the public. This allows MNCs to sharpen their investment location decision models and national IPAs to better assess the two-fold BoP effects of promoting FDI.

Abstract:
A hybrid oxide ceramic matrix composite (CMC) outer combustor liner was tested in a Solar Turbines Incorporated Centaur® 50S engine between 2003 and 2006, accumulating >25,000 hours of field exposure. The hybrid CMC liner, which was ∼76 cm in diameter, had an alumina matrix with a Nextel 720 fiber-reinforcement (A/N720). The CMC, produced by ATK-COI Ceramics, Inc., was coated with a ceramic insulation layer known as FGI (Friable Graded Insulation) developed by Siemens Energy Incorporated. Post-test microstructural and mechanical evaluation was conducted on the field-exposed liner at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to determine the types of surface and structural damage that occurred to the combustor liner during engine exposure to elevated temperatures (>1200°C), thermal cycling (stop-start cycles), and combustion gases (especially water vapor). In this study, numerous sections were cut from the liner for mechanical and microstructural characterization that exhibited varying amounts of FGI and/or CMC degradation. In this way, damage accumulation was assessed (1) within the CMC and FGI layers, both on the gas-path surface and below the surface and (2) as a function of liner position (fore-to-aft) in the engine. The amount and type of damage observed was directly related to the starting CMC and FGI microstructures. The tensile strength of the hybrid liner after field exposure was found to be 19 MPa. The FGI layer remained well bonded to the CMC and the fracture surface of the CMC exhibited scissor-like features, which is typical of composites with ±45° fiber architecture. The stress acting on the CMC at failure was 53 MPa.

Abstract:
An integrated creep rupture strength degradation and water vapor degradation model for gas turbine oxide-based CMC (Ceramic Matrix Composite) combustor liners was expanded with heat transfer computations to establish maximum TRIT (Turbine Rotor Inlet Temperature) for gas turbines with 10:1 pressure ratio. Recession rates and average CMC operating temperatures were calculated for an existing baseline N720/A (N720/Al2O3) CMC combustor liner system, with and without protective Al2O3 FGI (Friable Graded Insulation) for 30,000-h liner service life. The potential for increasing TRIT by YAG (Y3Al5O12) substitution for the fiber, matrix and FGI constituents of the CMC system was explored, because of the known superior creep and water vapor degradation resistance of YAG compared to Al2O3. It was predicted that uncoated N720/A can be used as a combustor liner material up to a TRIT of ∼1200°C, offering no TRIT advantage over a conventional metal + TBC (Thermal Barrier Coating) combustor liner. A similar conclusion was previously reached for a SiC/SiC CMC liner with BSAS-type EBC (Barium Strontium Aluminum Silicate Environmental Barrier Coating). The existing N720/A + Al2O3 FGI combustor liner system can be used at a maximum TRIT of ∼1350°C, a TRIT increase over metal + TBC and uncoated N720/A of ∼150°C. Replacing the Al2O3 with YAG is predicted to increase the maximum allowable TRIT. Substitution of the fiber or matrix in N720/A increases TRIT by ∼100°C. A YAG FGI improves the TRIT of the 720/A + Al2O3 FGI by ∼50°C, enabling a TRIT of ∼1400°C, similar to that predicted for SiC/SiC CMCs with protective rare earth monosilicate EBCs.

Abstract:
A Hybrid Oxide CMC Liner was evaluated in field testing of a Solar Turbines Incorporated Centaur® 50S engine for 25,404 hours and 109 starts between 2003 and 2006. The Hybrid Oxide CMC configuration consisted of a Nextel 720 aluminosilicate fiber/alumina matrix CMC and overlaying Friable Graded Insulation (FGI). The liner remained functional throughout the engine test. Borescoping during the first half of the field testing revealed little visual damage to the CMC liner, but erosion, affecting about 1–2 mm of the initial ∼ 5mm FGI thickness was noticed upon inspection of the liner after the midpoint of the field test. The erosion correlated with the hottest areas of the liner surface. Field testing was continued after minor liner repair. Damage to one area of the liner surface was observed in borescoping during the second half of the field test. Visual inspection after completion of the engine test indicated large areas of considerable CMC porosity/delamination within a few plies from the OD surface. Residual thickness measurements following the engine field testing indicated that of the original thickness, 2.0 – 2.6 mm of FGI had been lost. The surface recession is in the range expected based on a degradation model for alumina-based CMCs.

Abstract:
In Goal-oriented Reinforcement learning, relabeling the raw goals in past experience to provide agents with hindsight ability is a major solution to the reward sparsity problem. In this paper, to enhance the diversity of relabeled goals, we develop FGI (Foresight Goal Inference), a new relabeling strategy that relabels the goals by looking into the future with a learned dynamics model. Besides, to improve sample efficiency, we propose to use the dynamics model to generate simulated trajectories for policy training. By integrating these two improvements, we introduce the MapGo framework (Model-Assisted Policy optimization for Goal-oriented tasks). In our experiments, we first show the effectiveness of the FGI strategy compared with the hindsight one, and then show that the MapGo framework achieves higher sample efficiency when compared to model-free baselines on a set of complicated tasks.

Abstract:
Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) are potentially valuable structural materials for high temperature stationary components in the hot section of advanced gas turbines. Endurance field testing conducted since 1997 by Solar Turbines Incorporated has shown promise for SiC/SiC and Oxide/Oxide CMC combustor liners with protective coatings, with ∼15,000 hours and ∼25,000 hours of life, respectively. A study has been undertaken to evaluate the potential improvements in the durability of alumina-based CMC combustor liners by incorporating YAG (Y3Al5O12)-based fibers, matrices and/or protective CMC surface coatings. It is hoped that this study will encourage future development work for these YAG-based materials for advanced gas turbine applications. Comparative data were generated over a temperature and stress range typical in gas turbine design. Upper Use Temperature (UUT) was compared for 100 MPa maximum stress for 30,000 hours of combustor liner life. The starting point was a previous study in which the authors had examined the combined effect of creep resistance and water vapor degradation on CMC durability. In the current study an improved database was utilized to generate creep rupture curves for the N720/A (Nextel 720 fiber/Al2O3 matrix) CMC. Combined creep and water vapor degradation was estimated for N720/A, N720/YAG, YAG/A and YAG/YAG CMCs with or without protective surface coatings. The creep rupture data indicated that in the absence of a protective coating the UUT for N720/A CMC combustor liners in engines with various pressure ratios is only ∼1080°C. An examination of literature data showed that YAG fibers offer a significant creep rupture strength benefit over Al2O3-based fibers. It was estimated that an improvement in UUT of ∼60°C is potentially achievable with a YAG fiber-based CMC compared to N720/A. It was estimated that water vapor degradation lowers the UUT of N720A CMC combustor liners from ∼1080°C to ∼1060–1070°C for engines with pressure ratios from 5:1 to 30:1. Literature data indicates that YAG has superior water vapor resistance over Al2O3 in a simulated gas turbine hot section environment. In this study, however, substituting YAG as a matrix material for Al2O3 in N720/A was not found to significantly improve the durability of this CMC at UUTs up to ∼1150°C, because creep rupture is the predominant degradation mode. The incorporation of an alumina-based FGI (Friable Graded Insulation) in a hybrid oxide CMC can significantly increase the UUT of N720/A. The FGI is a coating of low thermal conductivity that is several mm thick, overlaying the CMC. The incorporation of a 4-mm thick Al2O3 FGI was predicted to increase UUT capability of an N720/A CMC combustor liner from 1060 to 1270°C for an engine with 30:1 pressure ratio, and from 1070°C to as much as 1400°C for an engine with a 5:1 pressure ratio. It was estimated that the incorporation of a YAG FGI further increases the UTT capability by 150–230°C, compared to an Al2O3 FGI (the actual increase depends on the CMC composition and pressure ratio).

Abstract:
Solar Turbines Incorporated (Solar) under U.S. government sponsored programs has been evaluating ceramic matrix composite (CMC) combustor liners in test rigs and Solar Centaur® 50S engines since 1992. The objective was to evaluate and improve the performance and durability of CMCs as high temperature materials for advanced low emissions combustors. Field testing of CMC combustor liners started in May 1997 and by the end of 2004, over 67,000 operating hours have been accumulated on SiC/SiC and oxide/oxide CMC liners. NOx and CO emissions measured were < 15 ppmv and < 10 ppmv, respectively. Long test durations of 15,144 hrs and 13,937 hrs have been logged for SiC/SiC liners with protective environmental barrier coatings (EBCs). An oxide/oxide CMC liner with a Friable Graded Insulation (FGI) coating has been tested for 12,582 hrs. It was observed that EBCs significantly improve SiC/SiC CMC liner life. The basic three-layer EBC consists of consecutive layers of Si, mullite, and barium strontium aluminum silicate (BSAS). The durability of the baseline EBC can be improved by mixing in BSAS with mullite in the intermediate coating layer. The efficacy of replacing BSAS with SAS has not been demonstrated yet. Heavy degradation was observed for two-layer Si/BSAS and Si/SAS EBCs, indicating that the elimination of the intermediate layer is detrimental to EBC durability. Equivalent performance was observed when the Hi-Nicalon fiber reinforcement was replaced with Tyranno ZM or ZMI fiber. Melt infiltrated (MI) SiC/SiC CMCs have improved durability compared to SiC/SiC CMCs fabricated by Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) of the matrix, in the absence of an EBC. However, the presence of an EBC results in roughly equivalent service life for MI and CVI CMCs. Early results indicate that oxide/oxide CMCs with protective FGI show relatively minor degradation under Centaur 50S engine operating conditions. The results of and lessons learned from CMC combustor liner engine field testing, conducted through 2004, have been summarized.
