Abstract:
Abstract Genital mycoplasmosis is a condition present in bovine production systems, and the most important agents involved are Mycoplasma bovis, Mycoplasma bovigenitalium and Ureaplasma diversum. Some aspects of their pathogenesis remain unclear. This study was designed in order to evaluate their ability to stimulate mononuclear cells from the endometrium, vagina and peripheral blood of cycling and healthy cows to produce nitric oxide (NO). Cellular cultures of endometrial, vaginal and peripheral blood cells from 33 healthy cows were cultivated with Mycoplasma bovis, Mycoplasma bovigenitalium

Abstract:
Empty fruit bunches (EFB) are waste products in the palm oil industry. Upon pressing of EFB, a liquor is produced which contains low grade fats, oils, and greases (FOG). These are the least valuable products of palm oil production, and are often discarded as waste. It is shown here that the EFB pressed liquor can be thermally transformed at or below 350 °C to produce a series of hydrocarbons in the range of kerosene and diesel fuel. This is distinctly different from other studies of biofuels from palm oil, which were based entirely on biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester (FAME)) and biogas produ

Abstract:
All addictive chemicals are psychoactive, but not all psychoactive compounds are addictive although they can be abused. Notable non-addictive psychoactive compounds are hallucinogens and the many mood-altering drugs marketed for depression, anxiety, epilepsy, and so forth. This chapter’s movies were chosen for the variety of psychoactive substances used by characters. They all show either drug abuse or addiction. The first few times that someone chooses to take a potentially addictive drug, they experience a rapid-onset pleasurable response followed by a slower onset, longer lasting dark side called withdrawal (Koob and Le Moal 2006; Grens 2007). Chronic use and bingeing lead to “tolerance” such that the euphoric effects are diminished even as the dose is increased. A person is said to be addicted to a drug when he or she seeks out the drug to avoid the dark side more than to induce its bright side. The bright and dark emotional and biochemical responses of euphoria, tolerance, and withdrawal are associated with a set of nerves called the “reward system” that lie at the top of the brainstem, buried deep within the human brain. We inherited these neurons from our earliest vertebrate ancestors. They are normally stimulated when we quench our thirst, stave off hunger, engage in sexual behavior, or participate in a host or other pleasurable activities. Repeated use of addictive drugs triggers the synthesis of proteins in the brain that cause anxiety or depression. Therefore, one promising line of research is to lessen the effects of withdrawal by finding other small molecules (therapeutic drugs) that bind to the receptors for the anxiety-producing or depression-inducing compounds. The “big three” legally addictive substances are nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine. About three-quarters (76%) of Americans over the age of 12 have smoked at least one cigarette in their lifetime, and 19% of Americans over the age of 12 smoke every day. From this we can calculate that 25% of users are addicted (=19%/76%), the highest addiction rate for any substance. With regard to alcohol, 51% of Americans are regular, moderate drinkers, 23% are binge drinkers, and 7% are heavy drinkers.

Abstract:
In search of a chemical conversation, we are on a farm in Uniow, a little Ukrainian village in Austro-Hungarian Galicia, just before the onset of World War I. In the farm yard we see a big, steaming, lead-lined iron pot. The men have mixed some potash in it (no, not the pure chemical with composition KOH from a chemical supply company, but the real ash from burning good poplar) and quicklime, to a thickness that an egg—plenty of eggs here, judging from the roaming chickens—floats on it. Elsewhere in the yard, women are straining kitchen grease, suet, pig bones, rancid butter, the poor parts skimmed off the goose fat (the best of which had been set to cool, cracklings and all). This mix doesn’t smell good; they would rather toss the kitchen leavings and bones into the great iron pot, but the fat must be free of meat, bones, and solids for the process to work. They are making soap. Not that we had to go that far, near where one of us was born, for soap was prepared in this way on farms from medieval times until the twentieth century. Fat was boiled up with lye (what the potash and quicklime made). The reaction was slow—days of heating and stirring until the lye was used up, and a chicken feather would no longer dissolve in the brew. One learned not to get the lye on one’s hands. The product of a simple chemical reaction was then left in the sun for a week, stirred until a paste formed. Then it was shaped into blocks and set out on wood to dry. And inside the steaming pot, deep inside, where the fat and the lye are reacting? There is the conversation we are after, a hellishly animated molecular conversation. The lye that formed was an alkaline mixture of KOH, Ca(OH)2, and NaOH. In the vat one had hydroxide (OH-) ions, and K+, Ca2+, Na+ all surrounded in dynamic array and disarray by water molecules. Contaminants aside, the fat molecules are compounds called esters, in which an organic base, glycerol, combines with three long-chain hydrocarbon chains.

Abstract:
Diphtheria is a potentially lethal infection caused by toxin-producing strains of Corynebacterium diphtheria, a Gram-positive bacillus. Humans are the only known reservoir, with spread via respiratory droplets or direct contact with skin lesions. Although now rare in developed countries, this vaccine-preventable disease remains an important problem in countries with poor or failing health systems, and is estimated to cause about 5,000 deaths per year worldwide, most in children under 5 years of age. Diphtheria develops when toxigenic bacteria lodge in the upper airway or on the skin of a susceptible individual. An intense inflammatory reaction develops, leading to a characteristic greyish-coloured pseudomembrane that is adherent to underlying tissues. Systemic effects are caused by release of diphtheria toxin, carried by a lysogenic corynebacteriophage, a single molecule of factor A of which can kill a eukaryotic cell.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the extent of the differences that emerged between various state memories of the Persian War, focusing here on the basic framing questions of when the war occurred and where. Despite drawing on the same chronicle of events, the Greeks developed various answers. Yates begins by examining four extended narratives that address these questions of periodization and spatialization directly: Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato’s Menexenus, and Diodorus Siculus. He then reviews the speeches in Herodotus and Thucydides and ends with a detailed survey of the evidence from Athens. These various chronological and spatial frames for the Persian War do not fit a clear evolutionary model. Rather, they seem to have been roughly contemporary reactions to the war. Individual commemorations would, therefore, have been dedicated with a local master narrative of the war in mind, but quite likely judged by others against a different set of assumptions.

Abstract:
The ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles defined our environments using the four basic elements of fire, earth, wind, and water. Although we now know there are at least 118 elements, of which 98 are naturally occurring, these ancient descriptions aptly describe the habitats on Earth that are occupied by oxides and living things. Many oxides that comprise Earth’s surface are born by the fire represented by the massive heat of Earth’s interior as mediated by plate tectonics. This heat produces the igneous rocks found in volcanoes and our major mountain chains. Water weathers these pristine rocks, which are gradually broken down to form earth, which includes the wide diversity of other rock types, soils, and sediments covering the surfaces of our continents and ocean floors. Weathered oxides in the form of dust are blown by wind and enter the atmosphere, where they influence the chemistry of the air we breathe and the rainfall that supports continental life. The chemical transformations of oxides are strongly influenced by all the environmental conditions they encounter in their life cycle (see Chapter 17). Conversely, the interactions between oxides, water, and organisms help define many of the environments that allow life on Earth to thrive. These interactions form the basis for this final chapter of our book. Oxides are present in all our planet’s major environments. In this chapter, we explore each of the environments defined by the ancient Greeks in descending order based on their distance from Earth’s core. The chapter progresses from the stratosphere (air) to continental surfaces (earth) to our oceans (water) and finally to the subsurface environments of subduction zones such as the Marianas Trench (fire). In each section, we highlight reactions involving the two most important classes of oxides in terms of their environmental impact, both of which are weathering products: (1) the clay minerals and (2) the redox-active colloids of iron and manganese oxides. Clay mineral reactions impact colloidal interactions (Chapter 8), ion exchange (Chapter 10), and the sequestration of environmental nutrients and contaminants. Reactions of the redox-active oxidates of iron and manganese are dominant in terms of reversible and often complex electrochemical (Chapter 11) and photochemical (Chapter 13) processes that take place in natural environments.

Its creation was the result of a poignant yearning that grew out of the recognition of a lack, and out of an aspiration for redemption. The ideal of ancient Greece was a central part of the different ideological, political, and aesthetic streams and sub-streams which were active in the spirit of Europe of the time. It was not only the philosophical heritage of classical antiquity that inspired the intellectual life of Europe; it was classical antiquity whole and entire, as a living entity. Different cultural and social trends gazed at the Greek mirror in order to understand their nature and essence, to be inspired, to seek a model, whether positive or negative. The image of Greece was thus interwoven into the ideological reactions and responses to industrialization, nationalism, mass society, and secularization.

Abstract:
The Dinocrates-Alexander episode of book 2 supplies the reader with a complex heuristic for differentiating good architects from bad. Vitruvius claims to rely on his knowledge and writing in anticipation of his own success, whereas he attributes Dinocrates’ renown to an attractive bodily appearance. A close intertextual reading of the passage threaded through Livy 1 suggests that Alexander and Dinocrates violate the ideal architect–autocrat relationship. The manner in which one interprets the episode indicates whether one can distinguish altruism from ambitio and the like. Alexander’s appetitious reaction to Dinocrates and his body is further problematized by the latter’s nudity and evocation of Hercules and athletic victors. Discussions in the rhetorical handbooks indicate that arguments concerning a plaintiff’s or defendant’s bodily state can support arguments about his character. The handbooks seem to presume a widespread valorization of what the Greeks would call καλοκἀγαθία‎, but there is an implicit acknowledgment that beauty dissimulates vice. The athletic and/or gladiatorial body is therefore a particular locus of contestation and controversy, as Cicero’s (and Sallust’s) depictions of Catiline show. On the Greek side, writers as early as Tyrtaeus and Xenophanes had suggested that wisdom is better than strength. Isocrates frames the issue politically, and Vitruvius takes it one step further. Following the Roman handbooks that viewed the cultivation of bodily attributes (vs. the fortuitous possession of those attributes) as the primary signifier of character, Vitruvius suggests that athletes are ethically and politically bankrupt, while writers deserve triumphs and apotheosis. Archimedes, Socrates, and even Vitruvius himself provide counterexamples.

Abstract:
A seismic analysis has been performed showing that the seismic interaction between the UIS and the FHM can be avoided eliminating the internal clearance of bearing at the FHM arm joint. An angular contact ball bearing is suitable for the new FHM since it can eliminate gaps by preload pressure. A major problem of the FHM bearings is lubrication since the contact pressure between the steel rings and ball of the ball bearing is larger than that of the roller bearing used in the previous design. Additionally, FHM operating temperature is about 200deg-C and normal grease is not applicable under arg

Abstract:
A pin joint simulation machine has been built to test a real landing gear pin joint under realistic loading and reciprocation conditions. The pin is loaded hydraulically using a hydraulic actuator to apply a fixed displacement cycle whilst measuring the reactive torque. The machine was used to measure the torque cycle (and hence friction coefficient) required to operate the joint. In this work a method of evaluating different formulation greases has been proven. This involved measuring their frictional torque and also evaluating performance using a Sommerfeld type approach that displays the di

Abstract Contrary to known art, we have discovered that lubricated tin-silver connectors have better electrical performance and are more reliable than lubricated silver-silver connectors under high-current and high-vibration conditions. The antifretting lubricant, that enhances the performance and reliability of the tin-silver connectors, is a grease consisting of a hydrocarbon oil in a nano-sized silica-particle base. Focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy were used to understand the contact degradation mechanism. The superior electrical performance and reliability of the lubricate

Abstract:
Reactive NanoTechnologies (RNT) has developed a reactive bonding technology to directly bond silicon dies to heat sinks with indium solder using a reactive multilayered foil. In this new method of bonding, heat is generated locally by exothermic mixing within the multilayered foil. This heat is used to melt indium solder layers to join the dies to the heat sinks. The measured thermal resistance of the resulting solder bond is 4 to 5 K mm2/W (0.006 to 0.008 K in2/W). In addition, the reactive foil also localizes the heat to the interface, thus minimizing residual stress and thermal damage in th

A device was developed for laboratory testing of a heat generating process that can use commercial organic by-products as fuel. This process, Activated Carbon Facilitated Oxidation (AC FOX), enables less refined organic compounds to be used as fuel sources, including glycerin, animal fats, and forms of brown grease. AC FOX oxidizes these compounds on the carbon surface in an exothermic reaction that does not involve combustion via flame. Although AC FOX has been demonstrated and patented, further development is required for industrial application. The device developed in this project forms a p

Inhibition of oil oxidation is the key to long life of synthetic lubricants operating in thermal stress and boundary lubrication environments [1]. Bench-scale tests to screen oil formulations provide a rapid means for optimizing formulations prior to longer running verification tests done with the oil in the end-use application [2]. The ultimate goal of accelerated oil life tests is to link the sample combustion temperature, or induction time, at a given heating rate, or temperature, to the estimated lifetime under normal use temperatures.
