Abstract Audiobooks offer increased accessibility and new ways of engaging with scholarly texts. Although the development of academic audiobooks is in a relatively early stage, one significant issue that is yet to receive appropriate attention is the presentation of referenced materials in audio form. Presently, this is approached on a case-by-case basis with no centralized industry standards, and so protocols are either set by individual publishers or negotiated between rights-holders and narrators. Narrators usually adopt one of four options for dealing with notes or other referencing tools: complete omission; addition of audio effects to differentiate the reading of references from the primary narrative; reading the reference notes at the end of a chapter or the book; or including with the audiobook files an optional PDF download with reference details. These options give consideration to aesthetic issues, but it is uncertain whether they do justice to questions of academic integrity. The purpose of this article is to encourage scholarly dialogue and a conversation between the audio publishing industry and academia on this issue, and to begin working towards a ‘best practice’ framework that satisfies questions of both aesthetic experience and academic integrity.

Objective Proper use of citation and quotation is crucial to the integrity of the medical literature. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of quotation and citation errors in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery (OHNS) journals and how they have changed over time. Study Design Literature review. Methods Fifty references were randomly selected from the first published issue of 2017 for 8 leading OHNS journals. These were analyzed for errors in citation (data elements by which the article is referenced) and quotation (factual inaccuracies of the reference). Citation errors were categorized as major, intermediate, or minor. Quotation errors were categorized as major or minor. Results were compared with data from 1997 articles. Results Citation errors occurred in 17% of all references studied, with 34% classified as major. Quotation errors occurred in 9%, with 69% classified as major. There was no association between journal impact factor and total number of errors ( r = −0.33, P = .42). This compares with a 37% citation error rate (32% major) and 17% quotation error rate (65% major) from 1997. Conclusion Citation and quotation errors are still prevalent in the OHNS literature albeit decreased from previously reported data. Improvement in citation errors may be due to technological improvements in reference management. However, it is the continued responsibility of the authors, reviewers, and editors to further reduce error rates to maintain the integrity of our publications.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on the global integrity monitoring performance of the BDS-3, the integrity failure model and effect analysis (IFMEA) of the system space segment and the ground control segment were carried out, and the system integrity risk tree model was established according to the IFMEA results. To evaluate the system’s integrity risk probability more reasonably, this paper establishes an abnormal event prediction model with a Bayesian method, based on actual operation data, under a situation in which the BDS-3 just opened service. With statistical analysis results of system anomalies since 27 December 2018—which is the date the BDS-3 began providing basic service—according to the anomaly prediction model, the system’s integrity risk probability under the 95% confidence limit was calculated to be approximately 0.9e-7/h, meeting the design index requirements of 1e-7/h. The analysis results also show that the main risk factors affecting the integrity of BDS-3 are ‘pseudorange measurement anomaly’ and ‘miss-detection of satellite autonomous integrity monitoring’. The results are important references with practical engineering significance for improving the integrity performance of BDS-3.

Abstract The article describes conceptual aspects related to the artistic tendencies in preschool education.The realization of this process is presented by operating with the concepts of the famous occidental, Russian and local scientists. One of the ideas characteristic to the scientists’ pedagogical thinking is that in the process of formation/development of the child through arts, the child is submitting the objects and phenomena to his/her previously acquired assimilation schemes. To insure integrity in the practical way of the early education, the methodology we are proposingis based on a research, a significant theoretical network ofsuccessful pedagogical practicesof word known scientists. The analyzed theories are a source of inspiration and constitute the theoretical universe which contributes to as-truthful-as-possible preschool educationof the child.Early education is the most important period in one’s life through the sustainable consequences it has on his/her ultimate development.

Full textAbstract:
The necessity of integral education, accepted as a leading idea for all pedagogical interactions, is an important challenge for modern preschool education. This challenge is not new both for preschool education and pedagogy which have their deepest origins in the idea of integrity and realise it in different forms and scopes. An integral character of preschool education, based on its main assumptions, implies similar references to preschool pedagogy, as reflected in the entire activity of kindergartens. Education contents assumes that, besides coming to knowledge on the world and developing their intellectual skills, children also work on their physical abilities and health-oriented attitudes, learn some prosocial behaviours with reference to family, community and bigger social groups, they are acquainted with the world of aesthetic values and shape their emotional and moral competences. Thus, integration of education contents is based on the rule of variability, care for proper relations of the contents and their selection from different educational fields. However, an analysis of the issues related to the modern human integrity proves that we often forget about a very important dimension – the spiritual one – in the fields of preschool pedagogy and education. The presented article is an effort to make practical references to modern preschool education in the aspect of stimulation of children’s spiritual development as the part of their life space which allows them to realise their own humanity.

Full textAbstract:
Elegy 2.30 has been considered to be one of Propertius’ most difficult poems due to its complicated sequence of thought and distant associations noticeable in the discourse, which was often the reason for dividing the text into two separate poems. The article is an interpretative proposal aimed at demonstrating the integrity of 2.30, which was obtained by the poet by combining the concept of love with the concept of love poetry, as well as by using subtly constructed mythological references.

Full textAbstract:
Há 16 anos, com a promulgação da Constituição de 1988, o Governo Federal assumiu a responsabilidade de garantir saúde a todos os cidadãos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), de modo a ser universal, integral e equânime. Para efetivar tais premissas foram criadas Leis Orgânicas e Normas Operacionais Básicas. Uma delas é o sistema de referência e contra-referência, objeto deste estudo, com o qual se pretendeu reconhecer a funcionalidade deste sistema como determinante da integralidade da assistência através de sua rede de serviços, a partir dos objetivos: identificar os momentos restritivos no atendimento e agendamento de referências externas, através da construção de fluxogramas destes processos; reconhecer as características das referência externas emitidas quanto a tipo, fontes de registro, prazos de agendamento, perfil dos usuários e das equipes profissionais; discutir o princípio da integralidade sob a vertente da rede de serviços, correlacionando as condições de operacionalidade do acesso dos usuários às referências externas. Tratou-se de um estudo exploratório e descritivo, realizado em uma UBS do Distrito de Saúde de Guaianases, na Zona Leste de São Paulo, que atua sob a estratégia da Saúde da Família e que contempla os critérios organizativos do SUS como: descentralização da gestão através dos Distritos de Saúde, territorialização e hierarquização da rede. A nível da UBS, determinação da área de abrangência e adscrição da clientela. Nos resultados, os fluxogramas construídos possibilitaram o reconhecimento de vários momentos restritivos de acesso dos usuários nos processos internos de trabalho que geram as referências, bem como, do seu fluxo de agendamento para outros níveis de atendimento. Os dados obtidos também permitem inferir que, embora sob os critérios organizativos do SUS e a existência do sistema de referência e contra-referência, o acesso não é garantido para a maioria dos usuários nem ao nível básico nem aos níveis de maior complexidade e, dentre aqueles acessados, há um longo tempo de espera para agendamento, principalmente para exames diagnósticos. Observou-se também enorme diferença entre a quantidade de referências emitidas e registradas entre as equipes de profissionais, concorrendo para a discrepância entre as fontes de registro (SIAB e Ficha de Notificação/Planilha Eletrônica). Tal fato dificulta o planejamento de oferta destas referências, de acordo com a demanda real. É possível concluir, com esses resultados, que a atual forma de atendimento na UBS do estudo não garante a integralidade da assistência a partir do nível básico, a qual, ainda, pautada eminentemente na prática clínica e diagnóstica e associada à adscrição territorial, dificulta a autonomia do usuário, protagonista de suas necessidades de saúdeSixteen years ago, when the Constitution of 1988 was promulgated, the Federal Government took charge of guaranteeing health to all citizens by Sistema Único de Saúde (Single Health System) - (SUS), so that would be universal, integral and equanimous. To do this premises, Organic Laws and Basic Operational Norms. One of them is the reference and contra reference, object of this study, with which it´s supposed to recognize the functionality of this system as determinant of assistance integrality through its services network, based on these objectives: identify the restrictive moments in attendance and appointment of extern references, by fluxgrams construction of these processes; recognize the extern reference characteristics related to type, register source, appointment deadline, users profile and professionals staff; discuss the integrality principle under network services support, correlating the operational conditions of users access to extern references. It refers to an exploratory and descriptive study, done in a UBS of Health District of Guaianases, East Zone of São Paulo, that act under the strategy of Family Health and that contemplate the organizing criterions of SUS such as: decentralization of management through Health Districts, territorization and hierarchy of network. At UBS level, the determination of area involved and registration of clients. In these results, with the fluxgrams built was possible the recognition of several restrictive moments of access of users in intern work processes that originate the references, as well, its appointment fux for others attendance level. The gotten information also permit infer that, although under the organizing criterions of SUS and the existence of reference system and contra reference, the access is not guaranteed to the majority of users neither basic level nor the level with more complexity and, among those accessed , there is a long time to wait for the appointment, mainly for diagnostic exams. It was also observed a big difference between the quantity of emitted and registered references among the professional staff, competing with the discrepancy between the register sources (SIAB and Notification Card /Electronic Plan). This fact makes difficult the offering plan of these references, according to the real demand. It´s possible to conclude, with these results, that the current way of attendance at UBS of this study doesn´t guarantee the integrity of assistance from basic level, with, still moderated highly in clinic practice and diagnostic and related to territorial registration, makes difficult the autonomy of the users, protagonists of their necessities in health

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o acesso em saúde através do sistema de referência e contra-referência no município de Juiz de Fora, considerando as dimensões: disponibilidade, aceitabilidade, acessibilidade, adequação funcional, fundamentado na perspectiva do processo de consolidação do princípio da integralidade no cuidado nos três níveis de atenção à saúde. Inicialmente e apresentada uma breve retrospectiva da Política de Saúde no Brasil, tomando como ponto de partida a década de 1970. Em seguida são discutidos os conceitos que embasaram o estudo, tendo como eixo central a integralidade e a contextualização da referencia e contra-referência. Para desenvolvimento deste trabalho fez-se a opção pela metodologia qualitativa, utilizando como técnica a ser utilizada junto aos profissionais de saúde a entrevista semi estruturada, e a narrativa, técnica a ser aplicada junto aos usuários, possibilita a recapitulação da experiência através da combinação da seqüência verbal de sentenças com a sequência de eventos que de fato ocorreram. Os sujeitos participantes da pesquisa foram os profissionais de saúde (médicos, assistentes sociais, enfermeiros) e principalmente, os usuários destes serviços de saúde. As convergências permitiram vislumbrar que embora o sistema de referencia e contra-referência no município de Juiz de Fora apresente problemas estruturais em sua organização, ocultando dificuldades de integração entre os níveis de atenção, existem reais possibilidades de melhoria do mesmo, que serão abordados no interior deste estudo.
The aim of this study was to analyze the access in health through the reference and against-reference system in the city of Juiz de Fora, considering the dimensions: availability, acceptability, accessibility, functional adequacy, based on the perspective of the process of consolidation of the integrality principle in care of three levels of attention to health. At first, a brief retrospective of the Politics of Health in Brazil is presented, taking as starting point the decade of 1970. Afterwards, the concepts that supported the study were discussed, having as central pivot the integrality and the contextualization of the reference and against-reference. For the development of this study, the qualitative methodology was picked up, using as a technique to be used to the health professionals the half-structuralized interview, and the narrative, technique to be applied to the users that makes it possible the recapitulation of the experience through the combination of the verbal sequence of sentences with the sequence of events that in fact had occurred. Not only health professionals (social doctors, assistants, nurses) took part in this research but, mainly, the users of these health services. The convergences allowed to glimpse that despite the system of reference and against-reference in the city of Juiz de Fora presents structural problems as precarious organization, concealing difficulties of integration among the attention levels, there are real possibilities of improvement, that will be dealth with in this study.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe association of haloperidol (HP) with polymeric nanocapsules causes a significant improve in therapeutic efficacy prolongs the drug time of action and reduces motor side effects in rats. However, in view of the HP toxicity on organs such as liver and kidney and besides due the lack of knowledge about the toxicity of polymeric nanocapsules, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of formulation containing haloperidol-loaded lipid-core nanocapsules on biochemical parameters and oxidative stress (OS) markers in the same tissues, besides DNA damage in blood. For this study, 28 rats were divided in four groups (n = 7) and treated with aqueous solution containing 5% polysorbate 80 (v/v) (C group), free haloperidol suspension (FH group), blank nanocapsules suspension (B-Nc group) and haloperidol-loaded lipid-core nanocapsules suspension (H-Nc group). All suspensions were administered in the animals (0,5 mg/kg-ip) once a day, for 28 days. The results showed that a subchronic treatment with FH increased oxidative damage evidenced by the elevation in lipid peroxidation levels and diminution in antioxidant defenses like vitamin C and superoxide dismutase enzyme, decreased cell integrity and increased plasma levels of AST and ALT enzymes. FH also caused damage to kidney, but to a lesser extent, and caused damage to blood DNA. On the other hand, rats treated with H-Nc did not present these alterations. Through this comparative study was possible evidence that H-Nc did not show subchronic toxicity in liver and kidney of animals, preserving these tissues from oxidative damage and loss of cell integrity, which were observed in animals treated with free drug.
A associação de haloperidol (HP) a nanocápsulas poliméricas proporciona uma significante melhora na eficácia terapêutica, prolonga o tempo de ação e reduz efeitos adversos motores em ratos. No entanto, tendo em vista a toxicidade do HP sobre órgãos como fígado e rim e o pouco conhecimento sobre a toxicidade das nanocápsulas poliméricas, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da formulação contendo haloperidol nanoencapsulado sobre parâmetros bioquímicos e marcadores de estresse oxidativo (EO) nestes mesmos tecidos, além do dano no DNA no sangue. Para este estudo, 28 ratos foram separados em quatro grupos experimentais (n=7) e tratados com solução aquosa contendo 5% polissorbato 80 (v/v) (grupo C), suspensão de haloperidol livre (grupo FH), suspensão de nanocápsulas branca (grupo B-Nc) e suspensão de haloperidol nanoencapsulado (grupo H-Nc). Todas as suspensões foram administradas aos animais (0,5 mg/kg-ip) uma vez por dia, durante 28 dias. Os resultados mostraram que o tratamento subcrônico com FH causou danos no fígado, evidenciado pelo aumento nos níveis de peroxidação lipídica e diminuição das defesas antioxidantes como vitamina C e superóxido dismutase, diminuição na integridade celular e aumento nos níveis plasmáticos das enzimas AST e ALT. O FH também causou danos no rim, mas em menor extensão, e causou danos ao DNA sanguíneo. Por outro lado, ratos tratados com H-Nc não apresentaram estas alterações. A partir deste estudo comparativo foi possível evidenciar que o haloperidol nanoencapsulado (H-Nc) não causou toxicidade subcrônica hepática e renal aos animais, preservando estes tecidos dos danos oxidativos e da perda da integridade celular, os quais foram observados nos animais tratados com o fármaco livre.

Os serviços oferecidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) estão organizados em rede, de forma a oferecer a seus usuários uma atenção integral. Com esse propósito, a configuração desta rede de serviços deve privilegiar o acesso do usuário ao nível de atenção que possa oferecer resolução ao seu caso, disponibilizando um adequado sistema de referência e contrarreferência para o usuário que necessite ser encaminhado de um nível de atenção a outro. Sendo assim, este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a percepção dos profissionais e usuários referente ao sistema de referência e contrarreferência, e como este sistema funciona no cotidiano das unidades envolvidas neste estudo. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, cujos dados foram coletados através da aplicação de um questionário que visava obter as representações sociais de profissionais e usuários sobre o tema proposto, bem como alguns aspectos operacionais sobre o funcionamento deste sistema nestas unidades. Posteriormente os resultados foram apresentados e analisados na forma do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo e permitiram concluir que profissionais e usuários têm a mesma percepção a respeito dos problemas que afetam o bom funcionamento deste sistema, tais como falta de profissionais, demora no atendimento, falta de resolutividade da atenção básica, disponibilidade de serviços na atenção secundária em desacordo com as necessidades da população, dificuldades na comunicação entre os profissionais dos diferentes níveis de atenção, e uma deficiência no controle do fluxo dos usuários, fazendo com que o sucesso dos encaminhamentos dependa muitas vezes do empenho pessoal dos profissionais e do esforço pessoal dos próprios pacientes.The services offered by the Unified Health System (SUS) are organized in a network in order to offer its users an integral attention. For this purpose, the configuration of this services network should prioritize the users access to the health care level that can provide the solution to his case, and a suitable reference and counter reference system to the user that needs to be sent from a health care level to another. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the perception of professionals and users concerning the reference and counter reference system, and how this system works daily in the health units involved in this study. This is a qualitative study, where data were collected through the application of a questionnaire aimed to obtain the social representations of professionals and users about the proposed subject, as well as some operational aspects about the operation of this system at these health units. Subsequently the results were presented and analyzed in the form of Collective Subject Discourse and allow us to conclude that professionals and users have the same perception about the problems that affect the proper functioning of this system, such as lack of professionals, delay in treatment, lack of resoluteness of the primary health care, availability of services in secondary care at odds with people\'s needs, difficulties in communication between professionals of different health care levels, and a deficiency in controlling the flow of users, making the success of referrals dependent often on personal commitment of the professionals involved and of the patient\'s own efforts.

Gunn, Sarah. Stone House Construction. CSIRO Publishing, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643106857.
Full textAbstract:
Stone House Construction is a comprehensive study of Australian stone building techniques in a residential context, for people with an interest in building or renovating, including property owners, architects and builders. It has a strong theme of historic stone buildings, as traditional forms of building respond to the need for structural integrity and stability over time against weathering.
The book covers aspects of building in locally sourced stone, from quarrying on-site to building arches over openings for upper storey walls, and is a source book of examples and methods to help the reader to carry on a tradition of building in local stone.
Stone buildings inspire people because they transfer a natural beauty to a human achievement. The book shows many examples of Australian stonework that have not been given exposure in previous architectural references. It promotes Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) through the continuation of a stonework tradition in Australia.

Full textAbstract:
Part of the “What Do I Do Now?: Emergency Medicine” series, Legal and Ethical Issues in Emergency Medicine uses a case-based approach to cover common and important topics in the legal and ethical dilemmas that surface in the practice of emergency medicine. Each unique case draws upon the four well-established principles of bioethics: beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice. Other ethical principles, such as honesty and personal integrity, are also addressed. Chapters are rounded out by key points to remember and selected references for further reading. Legal and Ethical Issues in Emergency Medicine addresses a wide range of topics including HIPPA and confidentiality, advance directives, suicidal patients, refusal of care, expert witness testimony, and more. This book is an engaging collection of thought-provoking cases which clinicians can utilize when they encounter difficult situations in the emergency department. The volume is also a self-assessment tool that tests the reader’s ability to answer the question, “What do I do now?”

Full textAbstract:
Fatigue is one of the most important failure mechanisms to assess integrity and design life of nuclear power plants. Fatigue analysis procedure and the standard fatigue design curve (S-N curve) for the class 1 components are given in ASME code section III NB. However, the existing ASME fatigue design curve does not address the effects of light water reactor coolant environment. The life time of ALWRs is designed for 60 years, and recently the plant life time of currently operating NPPs has been extended 20 years more. If we assess the integrity and design life of major components by fatigue analysis considering environmental factor and S-N curve, the estimated fatigue usage factor will not meet the criterion. In this study, detailed fatigue analysis using three dimensional models were performed to develop the optimized fatigue analysis procedure and their results were compared with other references. The locations considered are the pressurizer surge line, the CVCS charging inlet nozzle and the steam generator economizer nozzle of the advanced power reactor 1400 (APR1400).

API 1160 (Managing System Integrity for Hazardous Liquid Pipelines, 2001) and the Pipeline Risk Management Manual (3rd edition, by W. Kent Muhlbauer) are among the very few publications that have sections addressing the value of adding valves on existing liquid pipelines. These sections cite two references: the California State Fire Marshal Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Risk Assessment 1993 and the Safety of Interstate Liquid Pipelines: An Evaluation of Present Levels and Proposals for Change 1987. This paper reviews and challenges valve placement considerations established in API 1160 and the Pipeline Risk Management Manual (3rd edition) including check valve inspection issues, valve leaks or malfunction, etc. The cost and benefit of additional valves on existing liquid pipeline systems are discussed. This paper calls for the need for further work or a collaborative study of the value of additional valves on existing liquid pipeline systems.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of the study is to ensure whether the safety systems of an offshore drilling platform maintain their integrity and perform their duty under probable accident scenarios. This assurance is completed via reliability and availability analysis of the systems, verifying the design outcomes and recommending design and operational changes. The scope is limited to determining the reliability and availability for continuous systems, and only the reliability, often represented probability of failure on demand (PFD), for stand-by systems. Qualitative analysis is to be carried out to identify each failure mode and the sequence of events associated with it for the systems within the scope. Based on the result of qualitative analysis, failure scenarios are logically constructed to comprise basic events and failure effects. The failure data is taken from generic references such as the offshore reliability data handbook (OREDA). In the final analysis, the values of availability for the all systems are quantified to be above 99%. It is considered that the analysis results are broadly acceptable for general safety requirements.

In traditional cellular infrastructure, cellular devices communicate with each other directly even when they are close together. This strategy causes massive traffic to the cellular network therefore D2D communication has introduced to overcome this issue, bring more bandwidth and also higher rates to the cellular network. One of the major challenges for D2D Communication is to have one single secure protocol that can adapt in four D2D scenarios defined in references. These scenarios are Direct D2D and relaying D2D communication with and without cellular infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a Secure D2D protocol based on ARIADNE with TESLA. Also we use LTE-A AKA protocol for authentication and key agreement procedure between Source and Destination. Next, we adapt this scenario to be applicable in without cellular infrastructure ones. This protocol could be used in direct D2D also. Based on the results, our proposed protocol has a few computation overhead compare to recent works and have less communication overhead than SODE with preserve many security properties such as Authentication, Authorization, Confidentiality, Integrity, Secure Key Agreement, Secure Routing Transmission…. We check Authentication, Confidentiality, Reachability and Secure Key Agreement of the proposed protocol with ProVerif verification tools.

OTC, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.4043/29445-ms.
Full textAbstract:
The plug and Abandonment (P&A) are the final stage of the life cycle of an oil well. This implies that the plugging material must withstand the chemicals, temperature and well pressure to ensure its long-term integrity. Portland cement is the most used material as a safety barrier in P&A operations. However, the extreme conditions of the well have challenged the mechanical properties of Portland Cement. In this context, the present work aims to identify the adequate systems as permanent plugging material and to characterize them with a qualification process based on international references and experimental validation. Hence, four systems were tested for plug cementing operation with composition variations under pre-defined ageing conditions. Class G Portland cement slurry was used as reference to allow comparison of mechanical properties (compressive strength and tensile strength) between flexible cement paste, a system containing a mixture of Class G Portland Cement with epoxy resin and finally a system with epoxy resin only. Samples containing Class G Portland Cement were cured for 14 days under well bottom conditions (3000 psi and temperature of 174 degrees Fahrenheit) and cured for 14 days at well temperature (using a thermal bath). Samples containing resin were cured for 14 days under well bottom conditions (3000 psi and temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit) and cured for 14 days at well temperature (using a thermal bath). Finally, the samples were aged for 60 days in a thermal bath at well temperature and exposed to the brine which is the completion fluid composition which will be above and below in contact with the well barrier in a P & A operation. The results of the compressive strength tests of the samples aged in brine showed tha in some systems tested the reduction of the modulus of elasticity occurred, however, it was also observed the increase of the modulus of elasticity in another system. The same was true of the results of tensile strength tests of aged samples, the increase of rupture loading in some systems and reduction in the other ones were observed. The mechanical tests of the samples before and after ageing were performed to define the best system to be used in a well abandonment operation aiming for long-term integrity.

Full textAbstract:
Pipe bends and double pipe bends combined fittings including Back-to-back pipe combination (BB) and Face-to-face pipe combination (FF) play an important role in pressure pipeline system. Their carrying capacity will affect the integrity and safe operation of whole piping system directly. In this paper plastic limit loads for double pipe bends combined fittings (BB and FF) are analyzed by finite element method with elastic-perfect-plastic constitutive relation and the corresponding limit load equations are proposed which extends the range of pipe geometry λ Results show that the limit load equations available in references fail to be used for double pipe bends combined fittings and are unsafe, especially for FF combination. The limit loads increase with pipe thickness and bend radius in the meantime. The value of r/t is the main factor affecting limit load solutions. Detailed analysis also demonstrates that with applied load increasing, initial yielding appears in the FF combination firstly and finally overall yielding will happen. While the stress situation of BB combination is close to that of a single pipe bend. Eventually these proposed finite element based results are validated with experiment data and shows that finite element based solutions are believable.

Full textAbstract:
Significant progress has been made in recent years in the development of tensile and compressive strain capacity models. These models, along with various methods of strain demand determination, form the basic building blocks for the strain-based design and assessment (SBDA) of pipelines. At the same time, gaps exist between the current industry practice and the data needed for the proper application of those models. Furthermore the current practice of independently determining the tensile strain capacity, compressive strain capacity, and strain demand may not accurately represent field conditions as these elements interact and influence each other as opposed to act independently. Key elements related to SBDA are provided for the planning and execution of life-time integrity management of pipelines subjected to high longitudinal strains. The paper places emphasis on two aspects of SBDA: (1) overall framework and (2) considerations that are not adequately covered in the current general industry practices. The entire processes of SBDA, including but not limited to design, material specifications, construction, post-construction field monitoring, and mitigation are covered at high-levels to assist decision-making in practical projects. Detailed methodologies for executing components of SBDA are not covered in this paper, but can be found in the cited references.

"Analysis of Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Stator-Rotor Cavity Through 3D CFD-1D Fluid Network — Field Measurements Combined Approach." In ASME Turbo Expo 2016: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/gt2016-57629.
Full textAbstract:
An effective design and development of the Secondary Air System of a heavy-duty gas turbine is crucial for many purposes, such as cooling and sealing air supply, pre-swirling features, leakages control, casings and rotor thermal state assessment and rotor axial thrust management. All of these features directly impact on the performances and integrity of the whole machine and accordingly require advanced design approaches. The first stage stator-rotor turbine cavity of Ansaldo E-Class heavy-duty gas turbine AE94.2 underwent design modifications to adjust its internal pressure and consequently lower the global rotor axial load acting on the thrust bearing. This goal had to be reached while maintaining safety against hot gas ingestion from the turbine section main flow into the cavity, thus preserving the GT integrity. A multi-purpose analysis was then carried out on the cavity Secondary Air System. This involved steady 3D CFD calculations with a computational domain comprising the first turbine stage and the corresponding stator-rotor wheelspace. A combined use of CFD and SASAC, the in-house Ansaldo 1D fluid network code, finally led to an upgraded design of the cavity. Two field measurement campaigns were subsequently carried out on an AE94.2 GT to validate both the baseline configuration and the upgraded one, by means of 6 pressure and temperature sensors in the cavity and 12 load cells/thermocouples on the thrust bearing. The CFD model and results are presented, the fluid network tuning is discussed and the experimental setup and main outcomes of the two field campaigns are reported. Constant references to the definitive literature are made, with an effort to correlate at best research and industrial practice. These integrated activities allowed to perform a reliable verification against hot gas ingestion into the stator-rotor cavity and to successfully develop an effective solution, which reduced the GT rotor residual axial thrust by up to 25% less.

Full textAbstract:
As many nuclear plants approach the end of their initial 40 year license period, inspection or replacement of their reactor internals bolts must be considered. This is consistent with the Materials Reliability Program (MRP 227/228) guideline for plant life extension [1,2]. Assurance of the internals structural integrity is essential for continued safe operation of these plants. If there is no suspicion or indication of bolt failure, simple inspection is normally more cost-effective than replacement. Inspection vendors have inspected thousands of internals bolts with conventional and Phased Array UT but different head configurations and bolt capture mechanisms mandate specific qualifications for each bolt type. In some cases, complex bolt and head geometries coupled with counter-bore and locking bar interferences render classical UT inspections difficult or impossible. A range of solutions to inspect reactor internals including these difficult-to-inspect-by-conventional-UT baffle bolts has been developed by several vendors [3]. This presentation references developments to make bolt inspection a relatively quick and easy task through adaptations to the SUSI submarine inspection platform, the extensive UT qualification work suitable for conventional UT plus more recent advanced nonlinear resonant techniques to distinguish between flawed or loose, vs. acceptable bolts where conventional UT cannot be applied. Initial evaluations show that these advanced techniques may have the ability to reliably detect smaller flaws than previously possible with conventional techniques as well as provide information on bolt tightness.

Full textAbstract:
There is a high degree of freedom and flexibility in the way to integrate renewable process heat in industrial processes. Nearly in every industrial or commercial application various heat sinks can be found, which are suitable to be supplied by renewable heat, e.g. from solar thermal, heat pumps, biomass or others. But in contrast to conventional fossil fuel powered heating systems, most renewable heating technologies are more sensitive to the requirements defined by the specific demand of the industrial company. Fossil fuel-based systems benefit from their indifference to process temperatures in terms of energy efficiency, their flexibility with respect to part-load as well as on-off operation, and the fuel as a (unlimited) chemical storage. In contrast, the required temperature and the temporal course of the heat demand over the year determine whether a certain regenerative heat generator is technically feasible at all or at least significantly influence parameters like efficiency or coverage rate.

Protocol for monitoring aquatic invertebrates of small streams in the Heartland Inventory & Monitoring Network: Version 2.1. National Park Service, April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2284622.
Full textAbstract:
The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) is a component of the National Park Service’s (NPS) strategy to improve park management through greater reliance on scientific information. The purposes of this program are to design and implement long-term ecological monitoring and provide information for park managers to evaluate the integrity of park ecosystems and better understand ecosystem processes. Concerns over declining surface water quality have led to the development of various monitoring approaches to assess stream water quality. Freshwater streams in network parks are threatened by numerous stressors, most of which originate outside park boundaries. Stream condition and ecosystem health are dependent on processes occurring in the entire watershed as well as riparian and floodplain areas; therefore, they cannot be manipulated independently of this interrelationship. Land use activities—such as timber management, landfills, grazing, confined animal feeding operations, urbanization, stream channelization, removal of riparian vegetation and gravel, and mineral and metals mining—threaten stream quality. Accordingly, the framework for this aquatic monitoring is directed towards maintaining the ecological integrity of the streams in those parks. Invertebrates are an important tool for understanding and detecting changes in ecosystem integrity, and they can be used to reflect cumulative impacts that cannot otherwise be detected through traditional water quality monitoring. The broad diversity of invertebrate species occurring in aquatic systems similarly demonstrates a broad range of responses to different environmental stressors. Benthic invertebrates are sensitive to the wide variety of impacts that influence Ozark streams. Benthic invertebrate community structure can be quantified to reflect stream integrity in several ways, including the absence of pollution sensitive taxa, dominance by a particular taxon combined with low overall taxa richness, or appreciable shifts in community composition relative to reference condition. Furthermore, changes in the diversity and community structure of benthic invertebrates are relatively simple to communicate to resource managers and the public. To assess the natural and anthropo-genic processes influencing invertebrate communities, this protocol has been designed to incorporate the spatial relationship of benthic invertebrates with their local habitat including substrate size and embeddedness, and water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, and turbidity). Rigid quality control and quality assurance are used to ensure maximum data integrity. Detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) and supporting information are associated with this protocol.

Full textAbstract:
West African women are frequently absent from discussions of community security, despite their substantial contributions to local defense. Women are often viewed primarily as beneficiaries of attempts to reduce local violence, such that their roles in community-based security are typically overlooked. Yet women’s participation in CBAGs holds important implications for the national security of conflict-affected states. Understanding women’s participation in community-based armed groups matters for successful demobilization, disarmament, and reintegration programs and for states’ implementation of the global Women, Peace, and Security agenda, particularly gendered security sector reform. That women have been active—and in some cases instrumental— in establishing and maintaining local security can serve as a point of reference for states seeking to integrate more women into security institutions. Moreover, since CBAG politics are often governed by local norms and practices, understanding how women have become integrated into these local security structures can suggest means of achieving gendered security sector reform that are consistent with and respectful of local customs. This policy note briefly outlines and expounds upon some of the main insights of the author’s recent study on women’s participation in West African CBAGs. It proposes a set of considerations for states and stakeholders to structure efforts around gendered security sector reform.

Full textAbstract:
Yucca House National Monument (YUHO) in southwestern Colorado protects unexcavated archeological structures that were constructed by the Ancestral Puebloan people between 1050 and 1300 CE. It was established by Woodrow Wilson by presidential proclamation in 1919 and named “Yucca House” by archeologist Jesse Fewkes as a reference to the names used for this area by the local Ute, Tewa Pueblo, and other Native groups. It was originally only 3.9 ha (9.6 ac) of land, but in 1990, an additional 9.7 ha (24 ac) of land was donated by Hallie Ismay, allowing for the protection of additional archeological resources. Another acquisition of new land is currently underway, which will allow for the protection of even more archeological sites. The archeological resources at YUHO remain unexcavated to preserve the integrity of the structures and provide opportunities for future generations of scientists. One of the factors that contributed to the Ancestral Puebloans settling in the area was the presence of natural springs. These springs likely provided enough water to sustain the population, and the Ancestral Puebloans built structures around one of the larger springs, Aztec Spring. Yet, geologic features and processes were shaping the area of southwest Colorado long before the Ancestral Puebloans constructed their dwellings. The geologic history of YUHO spans millions of years. The oldest geologic unit exposed in the monument is the Late Cretaceous Juana Lopez Member of the Mancos Shale. During the deposition of the Mancos Shale, southwestern Colorado was at the bottom of an inland seaway. Beginning about 100 million years ago, sea level rose and flooded the interior of North America, creating the Western Interior Seaway, which hosted a thriving marine ecosystem. The fossiliferous Juana Lopez Member preserves this marine environment, including the organisms that inhabited it. The Juana Lopez Member has yielded a variety of marine fossils, including clams, oysters, ammonites, and vertebrates from within YUHO and the surrounding area. There are four species of fossil bivalves (the group including clams and oysters) found within YUHO: Cameleolopha lugubris, Inoceramus dimidius, Inoceramus perplexus, and Pycnodonte sp. or Rhynchostreon sp. There are six species of ammonites in three genera found within YUHO: Baculites undulatus, Baculites yokoyamai, Prionocyclus novimexicanus, Prionocyclus wyomingensis, Scaphites warreni, and Scaphites whitfieldi. There is one unidentifiable vertebrate bone that has been found in YUHO. Fossils within YUHO were first noticed in 1875–1876 by W. H. Holmes, who observed fossils within the building stones of the Ancestral Puebloans’ structures. Nearly half of the building stones in the archeological structures at YUHO are fossiliferous slabs of the Juana Lopez Member. There are outcrops of the Juana Lopez 0.8 km (0.5 mi) to the west of the structures, and it is hypothesized that the Ancestral Puebloans collected the building stones from these or other nearby outcrops. Following the initial observation of fossils, very little paleontology work has been done in the monument. There has only been one study focused on the paleontology and geology of YUHO, which was prepared by paleontologist Mary Griffitts in 2001. As such, this paleontological resource inventory report serves to provide information to YUHO staff for use in formulating management activities and procedures associated with the paleontological resources. In 2021, a paleontological survey of YUHO was conducted to revisit previously known fossiliferous sites, document new fossil localities, and assess collections of YUHO fossils housed at the Mesa Verde National Park Visitor and Research Center. Notable discoveries made during this survey include: several fossils of Cameleolopha lugubris, which had not previously been found within YUHO; and a fossil of Pycnodonte sp. or Rhynchostreon sp. that was previously unknown from within YUHO.

Full textAbstract:
Review question / Objective: The type of study was clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT). The object of study is the patients with HFMD. There is no limit to gender and race. In the case of clear diagnosis standard, curative effect judgment standard and consistent baseline treatment, the experimental group was treated with pure oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine(A: Fuganlin oral liquid, B: huangzhihua oral liquid, C: Lanqin oral liquid, D: antiviral oral liquid, E: Huangqin oral liquid, F: Pudilan oral liquid, G: Shuanghuanglian oral liquid.)and the control group was treated with ribavirin or any oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine. The data were extracted by two researchers independently, cross checked and reviewed according to the pre-determined tables. The data extraction content is (1) Basic information (including the first author, published journal and year, research topic). (2) Relevant information (including number of cases, total number of cases, gender, age, intervention measures, course of treatment of the experimental group and the control group in the literature). (3) Design type and quality evaluation information of the included literature. (4) Outcome measures (effective rate, healing time of oral ulcer, regression time of hand and foot rash, regression time of fever, adverse reactions.). The seven traditional Chinese medicine oral liquids are comparable in clinical practice, but their actual clinical efficacy is lack of evidence-based basis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use the network meta-analysis method to integrate the clinical relevant evidence of direct and indirect comparative relationship, to make quantitative comprehensive statistical analysis and sequencing of different oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine with the same evidence body for the treatment of the disease, and then to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the efficacy and safety of different oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine to get the best treatment plan, so as to provide reference value and evidence-based medicine evidence for clinical optimization of drug selection. Condition being studied: Hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in pediatrics caused by a variety of enteroviruses. Its clinical manifestations are mainly characterized by persistent fever, hand foot rash, oral herpes, ulcers, etc. Because it is often found in preschool children, its immune system development is not perfect, so it is very vulnerable to infection by pathogens and epidemic diseases, resulting in rapid progress of the disease. A few patients will also have neurogenic pulmonary edema Meningitis, myocarditis and other serious complications even lead to death, so effectively improve the cure rate, shorten the course of disease, prevent the deterioration of the disease as the focus of the study. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role in the research of antiviral treatment. Many clinical practices have confirmed that oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine can effectively play the role of antiviral and improve the body's immunity.

Biosensors for On-Line Measurement of Reproductive Hormones and Milk Proteins to Improve Dairy Herd Management. United States Department of Agriculture, February 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2001.7573998.bard.
Full textAbstract:
The original objectives of this research project were to: (1) develop immunoassays, photometric sensors, and electrochemical sensors for real-time measurement of progesterone and estradiol in milk, (2) develop biosensors for measurement of caseins in milk, and (3) integrate and adapt these sensor technologies to create an automated electronic sensing system for operation in dairy parlors during milking. The overall direction of research was not changed, although the work was expanded to include other milk components such as urea and lactose. A second generation biosensor for on-line measurement of bovine progesterone was designed and tested. Anti-progesterone antibody was coated on small disks of nitrocellulose membrane, which were inserted in the reaction chamber prior to testing, and a real-time assay was developed. The biosensor was designed using micropumps and valves under computer control, and assayed fluid volumes on the order of 1 ml. An automated sampler was designed to draw a test volume of milk from the long milk tube using a 4-way pinch valve. The system could execute a measurement cycle in about 10 min. Progesterone could be measured at concentrations low enough to distinguish luteal-phase from follicular-phase cows. The potential of the sensor to detect actual ovulatory events was compared with standard methods of estrus detection, including human observation and an activity monitor. The biosensor correctly identified all ovulatory events during its testperiod, but the variability at low progesterone concentrations triggered some false positives. Direct on-line measurement and intelligent interpretation of reproductive hormone profiles offers the potential for substantial improvement in reproductive management. A simple potentiometric method for measurement of milk protein was developed and tested. The method was based on the fact that proteins bind iodine. When proteins are added to a solution of the redox couple iodine/iodide (I-I2), the concentration of free iodine is changed and, as a consequence, the potential between two electrodes immersed in the solution is changed. The method worked well with analytical casein solutions and accurately measured concentrations of analytical caseins added to fresh milk. When tested with actual milk samples, the correlation between the sensor readings and the reference lab results (of both total proteins and casein content) was inferior to that of analytical casein. A number of different technologies were explored for the analysis of milk urea, and a manometric technique was selected for the final design. In the new sensor, urea in the sample was hydrolyzed to ammonium and carbonate by the enzyme urease, and subsequent shaking of the sample with citric acid in a sealed cell allowed urea to be estimated as a change in partial pressure of carbon dioxide. The pressure change in the cell was measured with a miniature piezoresistive pressure sensor, and effects of background dissolved gases and vapor pressures were corrected for by repeating the measurement of pressure developed in the sample without the addition of urease. Results were accurate in the physiological range of milk, the assay was faster than the typical milking period, and no toxic reagents were required. A sampling device was designed and built to passively draw milk from the long milk tube in the parlor. An electrochemical sensor for lactose was developed starting with a three-cascaded-enzyme sensor, evolving into two enzymes and CO2[Fe (CN)6] as a mediator, and then into a microflow injection system using poly-osmium modified screen-printed electrodes. The sensor was designed to serve multiple milking positions, using a manifold valve, a sampling valve, and two pumps. Disposable screen-printed electrodes with enzymatic membranes were used. The sensor was optimized for electrode coating components, flow rate, pH, and sample size, and the results correlated well (r2= 0.967) with known lactose concentrations.
