Abstract:

Lors de la troisième session, en août 1994, du Groupe d'experts gouvernementaux appelé à préparer la Conférence des parties, en 1995, chargée de l'examen de la Convention des Nations Unies de 1980 sur l'interdiction ou la limitation de l'emploi de certaines armes classiques qui peuvent être considérées comme produisant des effets traumatiques excessifs ou comme frappant sans discrimination, la Suisse a proposé d'ajouter un nouveau protocole à ladite Convention. Ce projet de protocole relatif aux armes et munitions de petit calibre interdirait l'emploi de telles armes et munitions qui, à une distance de tir de 25 mètres ou plus, libèrent une énergie supérieure à 20 joules par centimètre dans les 15 premiers centimètres de leur trajectoire dans le corps humain.

Abstract:

TiO2, Al2O3 and SiO2 single layer films were deposited in the oxygen gas atmosphere by plasma assisted e-beam evaporation(PAEBE) at various RF power and low temperature on p-type Si wafer(100) and glasses. The effects of plasma assistance on the optical and microstructual properties of three kinds of single layer films were investigated. In addition, those of the films were compared with the films deposited by conventional e-beam evaporation at high temperature(100~ 300 °C) condition. The n-values of TiO2 films gradually increased from 2.405 (λ =550nm) at 150W RF power to 2.54 at 200W. The XPS result indicated that TiO2 films deposited without plasma assistance have Ti2+, Ti3+ and Ti4+ charge states. Whereas the films prepared at 200W, 250W RF power have only Ti3+and Ti4+ charge states. Al2O3 layers had maximum reflective index (n=1.604 at λ =1200nm) at 200W RF power, but slightly decreased to 1.57 at 400W RF power. The measured transmittance spectra show that all the sample deposited by PAEBE are free from absorption and homogenous as well as the surface roughness, packing density and absorption of TiO2, Al2O3 films improved dramatically compared with films deposited conventional e-beam evaporation. However, The reflective index and surface morphologies of SiO2 films had no changed with increasing RF power.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of titanium matrix composites (TMCs) sleeve to Al alloys die-casting. Ti and 1.88 mass% B4C were prepared for the synthesis of 10 vol% (TiC+TiB) hybrid TMCs. In-situ synthesis and net-shape forming of TMCs were carried out in a vacuum induction melting furnace. The synthesized (TiC+TiB) TMCs were examined using scanning electron microscopy, an electron probe micro-analyzer, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The resistance-ability of (TiC+TiB) TMCs to molten Al alloys attack was also examined. Their reactions were carried out in a furnace at 993 K for times varying from 0 to 1200 s. In the case of conventional sleeve material, H13 steel, there were severe interfacial reactions and erosion after 60 s. On the other hand, the resistance of (TiC+TiB) TMCs to interfacial reactions and erosion by molten A380 alloy was significantly increased.

Abstract:

The aim of the present work is to investigate the possibility of in-situ synthesis and net-shape of the titanium matrix composites (TMCs) using a casting route. From the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermodynamic calculations, the spherical TiC and needle like TiB reinforced hybrid TMCs could be obtained by the conventional casting route between titanium and B4C. No melts-mold reaction could be possible between (TiC+TiB) hybrid TMCs and the SKKU mold, since the mold is composed of interstitial and substitutional reaction products. Not only the sound in-situ synthesis but also the economic net-shape of TMCs could be possible by conventional casting route.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The international regime of compensation was established by two international treaties elaborated under the auspices of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), namely the 1969 Civil Liability Convention and the 1971 Fund Convention. These Conventions were revised by Protocols in 1992, and the revised Conventions, known as the 1992 Conventions, have effectively replaced the original ones. The 1992 Civil Liability Convention governs the liability of the shipowner, whereas the 1992 Fund Convention provides supplementary compensation through the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund (1992), financed by a levy on oil receipts in member nations. The total amount of compensation under the 1992 Conventions is US$178 million per incident but will be increased to US$269 million from 1 November 2003. This paper describes briefly the scope and application of the Conventions with reference to specific incidents involving the IOPC Funds, focusing on developments over the past two years. In view of the experience of recent major incidents, the 1992 Fund has set up a Working Group to hold an exchange of views concerning the need for and possibilities of improving the international compensation regime established by the 1992 Conventions. As a first step, the Working Group prepared a draft Protocol establishing an optional third tier of compensation by means of a Supplementary Compensation Fund which would provide additional compensation over and above that available under the 1992 Conventions. The draft Protocol will be considered by a Diplomatic Conference to be held under the auspices of the IMO in May 2003. Certain issues relating to environmental damage have been considered. The Working Group continues its review of the 1992 Conventions and will examine a number of issues, inter alia, shipowners’ liability.

ABSTRACT The international compensation regime is based on two international treaties elaborated under the auspices of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), namely the 1992 Civil Liability Convention and the 1992 Fund Convention. The 1992 Civil Liability Convention governs the liability of the shipowner, whereas the 1992 Fund Convention provides supplementary compensation through the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund 1992 (1992 Fund), financed by a levy on oil receipts in Member States. This paper describes recent developments in the international compensation regime. The total amount of compensation available under the 1992 Conventions was increased from United States (US) $210 million to US $315 million for incidents occurring after 31 October 2003 In view of the experience of recent major incidents, the 1992 Fund set up a Working Group to hold an exchange of views concerning the need for and possibilities of improving the international compensation regime established by the 1992 Conventions. As a result of preparatory work carried out by the Working Group, a Diplomatic Conference held in May 2003 adopted a draft Protocol establishing an optional third tier of compensation by means of a Supplementary Compensation Fund which would provide additional compensation over and above that available under the 1992 Conventions. The total amount of compensation available for pollution damage in the nations that become Parties to it will be US $1,150 million per incident, including the amounts payable under the 1992 Conventions. The Protocol will enter into force on 3 March 2005. The Working Group continues its review of the 1992 Conventions and will examine a number of issues, inter alia, shipowners' liability. It is expected that the Working Group will make its final recommendations to the 1992 Fund Assembly in 2005 as to whether the 1992 Conventions should be re-opened and, if so, which issues should be considered.

Abstract:

Stripe noise is a common and unwelcome noise pattern in various thermal infrared (TIR) image data including conventional TIR images and remote sensing TIR spectral images. Most existing stripe noise removal (destriping) methods are often difficult to keep a good and robust efficacy in dealing with the real-life complex noise cases. In this paper, based on the intrinsic spectral properties of TIR images and stripe noise, we propose a novel two-stage transform domain destriping method called Fourier domain anomaly detection and spectral fusion (ADSF). Considering the principal frequencies polluted by stripe noise as outliers in the statistical spectrum of TIR images, our naive idea is first to detect the potential anomalies and then correct them effectively in the Fourier domain to reconstruct a desired destriping result. More specifically, anomaly detection for stripe frequencies is achieved through a regional comparison between the original spectrum and the expected spectrum that statistically follows a generalized Laplacian regression model, and then an anomaly weight map is generated accordingly. In the correction stage, we propose a guidance-image-based spectrum fusion strategy, which integrates the original spectrum and the spectrum of a guidance image via the anomaly weight map. The final reconstruction result not only has no stripe noise but also maintains image structures and details well. Extensive real experiments are performed on conventional TIR images and remote sensing spectral images, respectively. The qualitative and quantitative assessment results demonstrate the superior effectiveness and strong robustness of the proposed method.

Abstract:

Abstract Fermented soybean meal (FSBM) has smaller peptides and reduced anti-nutritional factors compared with those in conventional SBM. Apparent and true ileal digestibilities (AID and TID) of AA in FSBM were measured using both a direct method and a substitution method. Forty eight (24 barrows and 24 gilts) pigs at 7 kg BW were allotted to 4 dietary treatments (n = 12) based on a randomized complete block design with sex and initial body weight as blocks. Treatments includes NFD (semi-purified N free diet to measure endogenous AA loss), NFSB (NFD with 20% FSBM; Genebiotech Co., Ltd. and Nutraferma, Inc), CBD (corn basal diet), and CBSB (CBD at 80% and FSBM at 20%). NFD and NFSB were used to directly measure AID and TID AA of FSBM, whereas NFD, CBD, and CBSB were used to indirectly calculate AID and TID AA of FSBM using a substitution method. Experimental diets included TiO2 (0.4%). Pigs were fed experimental diets for 10 days. Feed allowance was based on 0.09 x BW0.75 kg per day. All pigs were euthanized at the end of the experiments to collect ileal digesta. Diets and ileal digesta were used to quantify TiO2 and AA. Data were analyzed using Mixed Procedure of SAS 9.4. Dietary treatment was the main effect and blocks were random effects. Endogenous AA loss was 2.48 g. When measured by a direct method, AID and TID of Lys, Met, Thr, and Trp were 72.1 and 89.8%, 74.9 and 92.1%, 61.0 and 88.5%, and 72.2 and 92.2%, respectively. When measured by a substitution method, AID and TID of Lys, Met, Thr, and Trp were 64.7 and 84.4%, 60.5 and 77.9%, 36.2 and 57.0%, and 58.2 and 81.0%, respectively. Overall, a direct method showed higher AID and TID AA in FSBM than those measured by a substitution method.

Phase compositions, microstructure and dielectric properties were examined by XRD, SEM and impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The experimental results indicated that there is no obvious effect on microstructure characteristic by substituting Zr4+ for Ti4+. It was found that the values of the dielectric constant for all of the samples dropped into the order of 102, which is significantly lower than the order of 105 that of normally reported in the literature. It was suggested that the presence of impurity phases played an important role for the degeneracy of dielectric properties.

Abstract:

In this paper, conventional pyrolysis (CP) and microwave pyrolysis (MWP) for three types of low rank coal in western China was studied. The effects of pyrolysis methods and temperature etc on product yields were also discussed. Pyrolysis products were characterized by IR, Gas analysis meter and GC-MS. Results showed that the tar and gas yields in microwave pyrolysis is about 3%-5% higher than those in the conventional pyrolysis. H2 and CO proportions in gas are above 55%. The contents of benzene, aromatic hydrocarbon and phenolic compound in microwave pyrolysis tar are higher than those in the conventional pyrolysis, in addition, C5~C10 substance content in tar is about 5 times as that in the conventional, so the microwave pyrolysis can prompt tar converting to light fraction.

Abstract:

Abstract The thymus plays a central role in self-tolerance by preventing strongly self-reactive thymocytes from accumulating as naïve T cell receptor (TCR) αβ+ T cells in the periphery. The elimination of auto-reactive T cells from the naïve pool is in part mediated by deletion during conventional negative selection. Alternatively, self-reactive thymocytes can also be positively selected in response to strong TCR signals during agonist selection and functionally differentiate to innate TCRαβ + T cells such as the CD8αα+ double negative (DN) T cells. How thymocytes discriminate between these opposite outcomes remains unclear. We identified a novel agonist-selected PD-1+ CD8αα+ subset of mature CD8+ T cells in human thymus. Using the same markers a similar population was also identified in cord blood at about the same frequency as TCRγδ+ cells. This population expresses high levels of Helios, indicative of strong TCR engagement, and displays an effector phenotype associated with agonist selection. Indeed, PD-1+CD8αα+ T cells exhibit innate production of IFN-γ and an elevated T-bet to Eomes ratio typical of effector CD8 T cells. These cells are CD62L-, CXCR3+ and Hobit high suggesting that these cells leave the thymus and home to the tissues. Interestingly, in vitro CD3/TCR stimulation of sorted early post-β-selection thymocyte blasts uniquely gives rise to this innate subset, whereas small CD4+CD8+ double positive precursors fail to survive strong TCR signals. The generation of the innate subset seems to arise also in vivo from early post-β-selection thymocyte blasts as these two populations have an identical TCRα repertoire: ex vivo isolated PD-1+CD8αα+ thymocytes are skewed for early 3' TRAV and 5' TRAJ rearrangements compared to conventional CD8 T cells. A similar skewing was found in early post-β-selection thymocyte blasts. As TCRα rearrangements are terminated by TCR engagement of agonist selection, this is strong evidence for a precursor progeny relationship. Together, we conclude that human CD8αα+ T cells are preferentially selected by strong TCR engagement on a subset of progenitors that express a full TCRαβ early on, leading to the generation of a post-selection T cell population with innate functional capacity and a markedly distinct TCR repertoire. These findings uncover the heterogeneity among DP precursors in their potential to survive strong selection signals and suggests that the decision making in the thymus to divert immature thymocytes to the agonist selection pathway occurs early before conventional selection of DP cells. We propose that progression through the immature thymic developmental program influences the outcome of TCR engagement with early post-β-selection thymocytes triggered by strong TCR signals preferentially giving rise to innate CD8αα+ T cells in humans.

Abstract:

Abstract. Conventional methods to estimate land surface temperature (LST) from space rely on the thermal infrared (TIR) spectral window and is limited to cloud-free scenes. To also provide LST estimates during periods with clouds, a new method was developed to estimate LST based on passive-microwave (MW) observations. The MW-LST product is informed by six polar-orbiting satellites to create a global record with up to eight observations per day for each 0.25° resolution grid box. For days with sufficient observations, a continuous diurnal temperature cycle (DTC) was fitted. The main characteristics of the DTC were scaled to match those of a geostationary TIR-LST product.This paper tests the cloud tolerance of the MW-LST product. In particular, we demonstrate its stable performance with respect to flux tower observation sites (four in Europe and nine in the United States), over a range of cloudiness conditions up to heavily overcast skies. The results show that TIR-based LST has slightly better performance than MW-LST for clear-sky observations but suffers an increasing negative bias as cloud cover increases. This negative bias is caused by incomplete masking of cloud-covered areas within the TIR scene that affects many applications of TIR-LST. In contrast, for MW-LST we find no direct impact of clouds on its accuracy and bias. MW-LST can therefore be used to improve TIR cloud screening. Moreover, the ability to provide LST estimates for cloud-covered surfaces can help expand current clear-sky-only satellite retrieval products to all-weather applications.

Abstract:

A large amount of information needs to be identified and produced during the process of promoting projects of interest. Thermal infrared (TIR) images are extensively used because they can provide information that cannot be extracted from visible images. In particular, TIR oblique images facilitate the acquisition of information of a building’s facade that is challenging to obtain from a nadir image. When a TIR oblique image and the 3D information acquired from conventional visible nadir imagery are combined, a great synergy for identifying surface information can be created. However, it is an onerous task to match common points in the images. In this study, a robust matching method of image pairs combined with different wavelengths and geometries (i.e., visible nadir-looking vs. TIR oblique, and visible oblique vs. TIR nadir-looking) is proposed. Three main processes of phase congruency, histogram matching, and Image Matching by Affine Simulation (IMAS) were adjusted to accommodate the radiometric and geometric differences of matched image pairs. The method was applied to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images of building and non-building areas. The results were compared with frequently used matching techniques, such as scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), speeded-up robust features (SURF), synthetic aperture radar–SIFT (SAR–SIFT), and Affine SIFT (ASIFT). The method outperforms other matching methods in root mean square error (RMSE) and matching performance (matched and not matched). The proposed method is believed to be a reliable solution for pinpointing surface information through image matching with different geometries obtained via TIR and visible sensors.

Abstract:

Abstract The problem of theorizing privacy moves on two levels, the first consisting of an inadequate conceptual vocabulary and the second consisting of an inadequate institutional grammar. Privacy rights are supposed to protect individual subjects, and so conventional ways of understanding privacy are subject-centered, but subject-centered approaches to theorizing privacy also wrestle with deeply embedded contradictions. And privacy’s most enduring institutional failure modes flow from its insistence on placing the individual and individualized control at the center. Strategies for rescuing privacy from irrelevance involve inverting both established ways of talking about privacy rights and established conventions for designing institutions to protect them. In terms of theory, turning privacy inside out entails focusing on the conditions that are needed to produce sufficiently private and privacy-valuing subjects. Institutionally, turning privacy inside out entails focusing on the design, production, and operational practices most likely to instantiate and preserve those conditions.

Abstract:

Introduction: Total Hip Replacement (THR) in displaced Fracture Neck of Femur (FNOF) is associated with higher dislocation rates. Conventional THR with a large femoral head and anterior approach has reduced the instability, but it remains higher than THR done for other aetiology. Recent studies have shown reduced dislocation rates with dual mobility THR (DMTHR) for FNOF; however, there is a lack of comparative research to show its superiority over conventional THR. Further, its role in the Asian subcontinent, where the patient requires sitting cross-legged or squatting, has not been studied. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 103 elderly patients with displaced FNOF with a minimum follow-up of 1-year. Fifty-two patients were operated on with DMTHR and fifty-one patients with conventional THR. Both the groups were matched in terms of demographic data, surgical approach, and postoperative protocol. Radiological and functional outcomes in terms of Harris Hip Score (HHS), Range of motion, Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM), and Dislocation rate were compared between the two groups. Results: Mean HHS of the DMTHR group was 76.37 at three months and 87.02 at the end of the 1-year postoperatively, which was significantly better than the conventional THR group 65.65 at three months and 72.96 at 1-year. The range of motion was significantly better in the DMTHR group than the conventional THR group. There was no significant difference in radiological outcomes and postoperative dislocation rate between the two groups. Conclusion: Dual mobility implants give better results than conventional implants for primary THA in elderly patients of displaced FNOF regarding better function and greater range of motion.

Abstract:

This paper describes the products characteristic derived from the conventional pyrolysis (CP) and microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MWP) of low metamorphic coal. GC/MS were used to analyze the volatile fractions of tar obtained by pyrolysis at different temperature and microwave power. It was found that microwave treatment produces more gas and oil than conventional pyrolysis at 800w and 800°C. In addition, the gas from the microwave has much higher syngas (H2+ CO) contents (up to 55 vol. %) than those obtained by conventional hydrolysis (up to 42 vol. %). The tar from the microwave is mainly composed of aromatic pyrolysis and phenolic compounds, and the content is 47.398% and 13.831% respectively as the microwave power is 800w. Meanwhile, the tar component content of C5-C10from microwave pyrolysis is up to 5 fold than conventional pyrolysis. By contrast, the microwave-assisted pyrolysis is beneficial to the tar conversion to light fraction.

Abstract:

CTLA-4 proteins contribute to the suppressor function of regulatory T cells (Tregs), but the mechanism by which they do so remains incompletely understood. In the present study, we assessed CTLA-4 protein function in both Tregs and conventional (Tconv) CD4+ T cells. We report that CTLA-4 proteins are responsible for all 3 characteristic Treg functions of suppression, TCR hyposignaling, and anergy. However, Treg suppression and anergy only required the external domain of CTLA-4, whereas TCR hyposignaling required its internal domain. Surprisingly, TCR hyposignaling was neither required for Treg suppression nor anergy because costimulatory blockade by the external domain of CTLA-4 was sufficient for both functions. We also report that CTLA-4 proteins were localized in Tregs in submembrane vesicles that rapidly recycled to/from the cell surface, whereas CTLA-4 proteins in naive Tconv cells were retained in Golgi vesicles away from the cell membrane and had no effect on Tconv cell function. However, TCR signaling of Tconv cells released CTLA-4 proteins from Golgi retention and caused activated Tconv cells to acquire suppressor function. Therefore, the results of this study demonstrate the importance of intracellular localization for CTLA-4 protein function and reveal that CTLA-4 protein externalization imparts suppressor function to both regulatory and conventional CD4+ T cells.

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete (RC) corbel is one of a disturbed region of elements of the structure. SNI 2847: 2013 as a guideline from Ministry of Public Works provides the design of RC corbels by the conventional method and with Strut and Tie Model (STM). The aim of this study is to determine and compare the behaviors of corbels experimentally that designed with both methods. The testing was conducted on two series of specimens and each series consisted of two specimens. Group 1 was designed using conventional method while group 2 designed using Strut and Tie Model. The axial column was tested under 50 kN fixed axial loads and corbels was tested under monotonic loads gradually increased up to failure. The results showed that with the provided steel and compressive strength of concrete, the shear capacity using the conventional method by analysis and experimental respectively were 363.164 kN and 345.7 kN, while the shear capacity using Strut and Tie Model by analysis and experimental respectively were 306.953 kN and 299.35 kN. The shear capacity of specimens using conventional method was 13.40 % greater than by using Strut and Tie Model and the shear capacity for each conventional and STM method were 1.9232 and 1.6653 greater than designated load.

Abstract:

Microwave processing ceramics is emerging fast as a new field of ceramic processing and material synthesis. The past year has witnessed significant progress in the aspects of commercialization and application of the technology to new areas. Further research states that Titanium Carbide (TiC) is the best cutting tool due to its high melting point and by that reason this project aims to show the difference between conventional sintering, microwave sintering and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). Two different compositions consisting of 97TiC3Ni and 93TiC7Ni were sintered using conventional furnace, microwave furnace and HIP. Density, hardness and microstructure analysis were carried out on these TiC inserts. 97TiC3Ni produced higher density and hardness values compared to 93TiC7Ni for all three different methods. Microwave sintering produced the highest density and hardness values compared to conventional sintering and HIP. Microwave produced samples with improved density and hardness in a shorter processing time which is 93% faster than conventional sintering and 50% faster than HIP.

Abstract:

Laser aided activating TIG welding was called LA-TIG. At first, the surface of weld was melted by the mini power laser protected by oxygen, and then the conventional TIG was used to cover the weld, which achieved the target of the weld with deeper penetration and narrower width. In this article, the weld bead morphology, arc images, microstructures and mechanical properties of laser aided activating TIG welding joint were analyzed. The results shows that the penetration increased significantly, excellent weld appearance and finger shape penetration were gained by laser aided activating TIG welding. It was found that the arc images of the LA-TIG was only the enlarged form compared with which observed in the conventional TIG and the arc constriction was also observed. LA-TIG weld exhibits better mechanical properties than the conventional TIG welding. Thus laser aided activating TIG welding was developed as a novel active welding method.
