Full textAbstract:
In 1994, a telemedicine network was established linking the renal unit at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital to three satellite dialysis centres in South Australia. In the first two and a half years of operation, the telemedicine equipment was used on over 6000 occasions. Interviews were conducted with 18 medical, nursing and allied health staff and dialysis patients. The main finding was that the full range of staff, from surgeons and nephrologists to allied health staff and nurses, were able use the technology successfully for clinical purposes. A second finding was that the technology enabled staff to perform a wide range of clinical procedures, from routine outpatient consultations and monitoring infections to making decisions about retrieval or confirming decisions to operate. A third finding was that telemedicine enabled the renal unit to provide improved services in which teams of staff at the different sites cooperated in ways that were not possible before the telemedicine links became available.

Full textAbstract:
Treating a patient with tooth pain is a multi-factorial process with many factors playing their role to warrant the success of the treatment procedure. One such important factor is to secure the root apex which is important for ensuring good prognosis in endodontics. Also in challenging situations like sealing a fractured root, resorbed apex, or an incompletely formed apex, the need of an intact root apex is much anticipated. Over the years, an array of novel products has been produced for root-end applications to achieve such a favorable condition. The objective of this review is to list and summarize such root-end materials. However, their merits, and claims of superiority over MTA, have to be ascertained via sustained research.

<p>Environment is an important concern and also treated as a knowledge field viz. Environment Science, Environment Studies, Environment Engineering, Environment Management, etc. Environmental Informatics is the combination of Environment which includes allied branches and subjects from the environment side and Informatics which includes all allied branches and subjects from the informatics and IT side. All the environment-related subjects can get the benefit of Environmental Informatics for their different sorts by different means. Environmental Statistical applications also need Computational tools and so Environmental Informatics will be the right solution for such concern. Environmental Informatics uses different tools, techniques, and sub-technologies of Information Technology and few also from the Computer Science or allied branches. Due to its wider benefits and different applications, many educational institutes are offering the field with Bachelors, Masters and Research Degrees in the concerned field as well as in allied fields. As far as research is concerned the research in different forms are conducted by academicians, researchers and scientist. This paper provides comprehensive details on Environmental Informatics research opportunities and potentialities in Indian and international context.</p>

Because the Anglophone historiography has tended to marginalize the French contribution to the allied chemical war during the Great War 1914-1918, this study has attempted to re-balance the historical narrative by emphasizing the collective nature and importance of this joint Franco-British enterprise. By interrogating a raft of under-utilized primary evidence in the French and British archives, elements of the two armies’ defensive and offensive gas warfare performance have been reassessed through the co-operation prism. The investigation demonstrates how closely, comprehensively, and effectively the two allies worked together in chemical weapon production and exchange, research and development, anti-gas protection, and indirect battlefield applications.

Full textAbstract:
The research described in this dissertation follows on from the study made by Jewell (1980)into the effects of tensile reinforcement on the mechanical behaviour of sand. For this study Jewell used the direct shear test with reinforcement placed about the central plane as shown in fig. 1.1. The direct shear test was chosen for the following reasons. (1) The reinforcement variables could be better controlled and examined in a unit cell test than in modular field studies of soil reinforcement systems. (2) The pattern of deformation is similar to that experienced by soil in which a rupture band develops, with the principal axes of stress, strain and strain increment free to rotate as is the case in model and field structures. (3) The overall shear strength of the sample is measured directly at the boundaries of the apparatus. The direct shear tests were monitored by boundary measurements and internal measurements using a radiographic technique. The findings are outlined below with reference made to relevant observations by other researchers. 1) The optimum orientation for a relatively flexible steel grid was found to be approximately along the direction of principal tensile strains in the unreinforced sand, see fig.1.2. This indicated that the reinforcement functioned by limiting tensile strains in the sand. McGown et al. (1978) obtained a similar result for plane strain cell tests on sand containing a single layer of flexible reinforcement. However in both studies the reinforcement was observed to waken the sand. Jewell recognized weakening to occur when the steel grid was placed along the direction of principal compressive strains in the unreinforced sand. This was attributed to a reduction in vertical effective stress. McGown et al. observed weakening of the sand when the reinforcement orientation approached the rupture band which developed in the sand alone. This was recognized to be the direction of zero-extension in the unreinforced sand. The weakening was linked to a lower bond between soil and reinforcement than soil alone. 2) Internal strains determined by Jewell showed the tensile reinforcement modified strains in the sand over a well defined zone, see fig.1.3. This resulted in a significant rotation of principal axes of strain increment, with the bond of major strains which developed across the centre of the box in the unreinforced sand being prohibited from forming. This agreed with boundary measurements, indicating the reinforcement functioned by limiting tensile strains in the sand. Consequently a less favourable mode of failure took place. The limit of rotation of principal axes of strain increment was understood to be the alignment of a direction of zero-extension in the sand with the reinforcement. These findings agree with the ideas expressed by Basset and Last (1978) on the mode of action of tensile reinforcement, which in particular was related to the effect of tensile reinforcement on the strain field in a reinforced earth wall as shown in fig.1.4. 3) For efficient use of tensile reinforcement it was demonstrated that the bond with sand should be as high as possible. This could be achieved by roughening the surface. Alternatively, the bond was improved by introducing openings or apertures in the reinforcement, changing the shape to a grid. It appeared that the bond for a suitably proportioned grid could be as high as for a fully roughened surface. 4) The longitudinal stiffness of tensile reinforcement was observed to affect the magnitude and rate of increase in strength in the direct shear tests. The rupture strain of tensile reinforcement relative to maximum tensile strains of the soil, under the same operational stress conditions, have also been observed to influence the reinforcing effect in terms of its limiting behaviour, i.e. whether brittle or ductile (McGown, et al. 1978). With regards to the performance of reinforced earth walls, Al-Hussanini and Perry (1976) observed that steel reinforced strips produced a stiffer and stronger structure than a more extensible fabric reinforcement, even though surface roughness was less. The importance of reinforcement tensile stiffness is recognized in limit equilibrium designs for tensile reinforced soil structures by limiting the available reinforcement force to the tensile strains that can develop in the soil (e.g. Jewell 1985). For highly structured non-woven and composite geotextiles, McGown et al. (1982) demonstrated that the stress-strain behaviour can be significantly affected by soil confinement. Testing wider strips in isolation was not found to replicate the effects of soil confinement. Another factor which needs to be considered when assessing the tensile property of a polymer reinforcement is creep. McGown et al. (1984) illustrated an appropriate method of interpreting creep data using isochronous curves, which enable long term laboratory test data to be extrapolated to the design life of the soil structure. 5) The strain and hence stress fields in the reinforced direct shear tests have been shown to be complex and non-uniform. However Jewell successfully modelled the variation of reinforcing effect for tensile reinforcement at different orientations by using a simple limit equilibrium analysis, see fig.1.5. The effect of the tensile reinforcement force was represented as: - an increase in the normal effective stress acting on the central plane of the box due to the normal component of the force and - a reduction in the applied shear stress due to the parallel component of the force to the central plane. Subsequently this analysis has been applied to limit equilibrium design methods for reinforcing soil retaining walls and embankments, Jewell et al. 1984, and Jewell 1982 respectively. 6) A reduction in the reinforcing effect for individual reinforcement due to the presence of other reinforcement was observed in the shear box. This loss of efficiency of individual reinforcement was termed interference. Interference between tensile reinforcement has also been studied by Guilloux et al. (1979) for the pull-out resistance from soil. However interference between reinforcement has yet to be introduced into a limit equilibrium design method.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this work was to investigate palladium-catalysed cyclisations of bromoenynamides in the synthesis of amidodienes, which on further reaction or oxidation can lead to a diverse range of heteroaromatic systems. Building upon work within the Anderson group on the palladium-catalysed cyclisations of bromoenynes, we have been able to successfully apply a palladium-catalysed carbopalladation/Stille coupling/electrocyclisation cascade to bromoenynamides and then further develop this to incorporate a Suzuki coupling, leading to bicyclic amidodienes which can undergo selective oxidation to a range of heteroaromatics including indolines, indoles, tetrahydroquinolines and benzazepines. During the investigations into the cascade cyclisation, a reductive cyclisation was discovered which enabled access to a range of monocyclic amidodienes. These could subsequently be subjected to a series of Diels-Alder cycloadditions (thermal, Lewis acid-catalysed, arynes) and oxidations to afford a complimentary range of heteroaromatic systems. Whilst this methodology was successful with bromoenynamides, extension of its application to bromoenynhydrazides, with the hope of accessing a relatively unusual range of heteroaromatic structures including indazoles, cinnolines and diazepines, proved to be more problematic. Finally, expansion of the cascade methodology into a fully intramolecular cyclisation, enabled studies towards the synthesis of the trikentrin family of natural products to be conducted.

Falco, Camillo. "Sustainable biomass-derived hydrothermal carbons for energy applications." Phd thesis, Universität Potsdam, 2012. http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2012/5978/.
Full textAbstract:
The need to reduce humankind reliance on fossil fuels by exploiting sustainably the planet renewable resources is a major driving force determining the focus of modern material research. For this reason great interest is nowadays focused on finding alternatives to fossil fuels derived products/materials. For the short term the most promising substitute is undoubtedly biomass, since it is the only renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels as carbon source. As a consequence efforts, aimed at finding new synthetic approaches to convert biomass and its derivatives into carbon-based materials, are constantly increasing. In this regard, hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) has shown to be an effective means of conversion of biomass-derived precursors into functional carbon materials. However the attempts to convert raw biomass, in particular lignocellulosic one, directly into such products have certainly been rarer. Unlocking the direct use of these raw materials as carbon precursors would definitely be beneficial in terms of HTC sustainability. For this reason, in this thesis the HTC of carbohydrate and protein-rich biomass was systematically investigated, in order to obtain more insights on the potentials of this thermochemical processing technique in relation to the production of functional carbon materials from crude biomass.
First a detailed investigation on the HTC conversion mechanism of lignocellulosic biomass and its single components (i.e. cellulose, lignin) was developed based on a comparison with glucose HTC, which was adopted as a reference model. In the glucose case it was demonstrated that varying the HTC temperature allowed tuning the chemical structure of the synthesised carbon materials from a highly cross-linked furan-based structure (T = 180oC) to a carbon framework composed of polyaromatic arene-like domains. When cellulose or lignocellulosic biomass was used as carbon precursor, the furan rich structure could not be isolated at any of the investigated processing conditions. These evidences were indicative of a different HTC conversion mechanism for cellulose, involving reactions that are commonly observed during pyrolytic processes. The evolution of glucose-derived HTC carbon chemical structure upon pyrolysis was also investigated. These studies revealed that upon heat treatment (Investigated temperatures 350 – 900 oC) the furan-based structure was progressively converted into highly curved aromatic pre-graphenic domains. This thermal degradation process was observed to produce an increasingly more hydrophobic surface and considerable microporosity within the HTC carbon structure.
In order to introduce porosity in the HTC carbons derived from lignocellulosic biomass, KOH chemical activation was investigated as an HTC post-synthesis functionalisation step. These studies demonstrated that HTC carbons are excellent precursors for the production of highly microporous activated carbons (ACs) and that the porosity development upon KOH chemical activation is dependent on the chemical structure of the HTC carbon, tuned by employing different HTC temperatures. Preliminary testing of the ACs for CO2 capture or high pressure CH4 storage yielded very promising results, since the measured uptakes of both adsorbates (i.e. CO2 and CH4) were comparable to top-performing and commercially available adsorbents, usually employed for these end-applications.
The combined use of HTC and KOH chemical activation was also employed to produce highly microporous N-doped ACs from microalgae. The hydrothermal treatment of the microalgae substrate was observed to cause the depletion of the protein and carbohydrate fractions and the near complete loss (i.e. 90%) of the microalgae N-content, as liquid hydrolysis/degradation products. The obtained carbonaceous product showed a predominantly aliphatic character indicating the presence of alkyl chains presumably derived from the lipid fractions. Addition of glucose to the initial reaction mixture was found out to be extremely beneficial, because it allowed the fixation of a higher N amount, in the algae derived HTC carbons (i.e. 60%), and the attainment of higher product yields (50%). Both positive effects were attributed to Maillard type cascade reactions taking place between the monosaccharides and the microalgae derived liquid hydrolysis/degradation products, which were in this way recovered from the liquid phase. KOH chemical activation of the microalgae/glucose mixture derived HTC carbons produced highly microporous N-doped carbons. Although the activation process led to a major reduction of the N-content, the retained N-amount in the ACs was still considerable. These features render these materials ideal candidates for supercapacitors electrodes, since they provide extremely high surface areas, for the formation of electric double-layer, coupled to abundant heteroatom doping (i.e. N and O) necessary to obtain a pseudocapacitance contribution.Die Notwendigkeit, die Abhängigkeit der Menschheit von fossilen Brennstoffen zu reduzieren ist die treibende Kraft hinter aktuellen Forschungsanstrengungen in den Materialwissenschaften. Folglich besteht heutzutage ein erhebliches Interesse daran Alternativen zu Materialien, die aus fossilen Resourcen gewonnen werden, zu finden. Kurzfristig ist zweifellos Biomasse die vielversprechendste Alternative, da sie aus heutiger Sicht die einzige nicht-fossile, nachhaltige und nachwachsende Kohlenstoffquelle ist. Konsequenterweise werden die Antrengungen neue Syntheseansätze zur Konvertierung von Biomasse und ihren Derivaten in kohlenstoffbasierten Materialien forwährend erhöht. In diesem Zusammenhang hat sich die Hydrothermalkarbonisierung (HTC) als sehr vielseitiges Werkzeug zur Konvertierung von Biomasse-basierten Ausgangsstoffen in funktionale Kohlenstoffmaterialien herausgestellt. Dennoch gibt es bisher wenige Ansätze um rohe Biomasse, genauer gesagt Lignicellulose, direkt in funktionale Materialien umzusetzen. Könnte der direkte Einsatz von roher Biomasse Verfahren wie der HTC zugänglich gemacht werden, würde dies die Nachhaltigkeit des Verfahrens immens steigern. Daher wurde in dieser Dissertation die Hydrothermalkarbonisierung von kohlenhydratreicher (d. h. Lignicelluse) und proteinreicher (d. h. Microalgae) Biomasse systematisch analysiert. Diese Untersuchung galt dem Ziel einen besseren Einblick in das Potential dieser thermochemischen Verarbeitungsmethode funktionale Kohlenstoffmaterialien aus unverarbeiteter Biomasse hervorzubringen zu gewinnen. Die hergestellten Materialien wurden mittels chemischer Aktivierung nachträglich weiter behandelt. Dieser zusätzliche Verarbeitungsschritt ermöglichte die Herstellung hochporöser aktiverter Kohlenstoffe (AC). Die aus Lignicellulose gewonnenen ACs zeigten exzellente Eigenschaften bei der Aufnahme von CO2 und der Hochdruckspeicherung von CH4 währen die aus Microalgae gewonnen Eigenschaften an den Tag legten (z. B. hohe Oberfläche und N-Dotierung), welche sie zu vielversprechenden Materialien für Superkondensatoren machen. Die in dieser Dissertation präsentierte Arbeit zeigte außergewöhnliche Fortschritte in Richtung der Anwendung von unbehandelter Biomasse als Ausgangsmaterial für die Produktion von funktionalen Kohlenstoffen.

Full textAbstract:
The last fifty years has seen an increase in the production of synthetic or artificial enzyme substrates used to identify and quantify enzymes. These substrates have found applications in a range of biomedical science disciplines. Used in biochemistry and clinical chemistry to identify and measure enzymes, some of these substrates have been adapted for use in microbiology, particularly bacterial diagnosis and, in more recent years, molecular biology. The use of artificial chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrates to identify certain bacteria is now common place in medical laboratories worldwide. Not all bacteria can be identified with existing and commercially available artificial substrates. Some of these can be slow to yield results, imprecise, expensive or require a technical method too complicated to provide a viable laboratory test. Therefore, the search for new, more efficient, biochemical tests has progressed, with novel substrates and inventive applications being developed continually. In this study, core compounds were synthesised by various condensation reactions and their characteristics evaluated with respect to colouration/fluorescence and possible enhancement of these properties by metal chelation. Promising candidates were selected for glycosidation, via modified Koenigs-Knorr reactions, in an attempt to synthesise artificial substrates. Several commercially available core molecules were also subjected to glycosidation. The more successful substrates included glycosides of alizarin, nitrosalicylaldehyde and 3- hydroxyflavone. The galactoside of nitrosalicylaldehyde was evaluated in solid agar media and found to be selective for certain Gram-negative bacteria. When similarly investigated, the 3- hydroxyflavone-β-D-glucoside showed the possibility of being used in a procedure for the isolation of the clinically significant pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes. The enzyme kinetics of β-glucosidase with this substrate were also determined in a novel fluorescence assay and compared favourably to the well documented 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucopyranoside. Alizarin-2-yl-β-D-galactoside and p-naphtholbenzein-β-D-galactoside were successfully utilized for the screening of recombinant and non-recombinant Escherichia coli transformants produced routinely in molecular biology. Aminopeptidase substrates have been shown to be useful for the detection of enzymes which hydrolyse peptides that are specific to certain bacteria. To allow the evaluation of novel aminopeptidase substrates, that were to be subsequently synthesised, a cost effective, large scale source of recombinant leucyl aminopeptidase enzyme was developed via gene cloning techniques. Consequently, the products of this study may serve a beneficial purpose in future enzymatic investigations, medical diagnosis and molecular biology.

Full textAbstract:
The needs for sustainable energy generation, but also a sustainable chemistry display the basic motivation of the current thesis. By different single investigated cases, which are all related to the element carbon, the work can be devided into two major topics. At first, the sustainable synthesis of “useful” carbon materials employing the process of hydrothermal carbonisation (HC) is described. In the second part, the synthesis of heteroatom - containing carbon materials for electrochemical and fuel cell applications employing ionic liquid precursors is presented.
On base of a thorough review of the literature on hydrothermolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation of sugars in addition to the chemistry of hydroxymethylfurfural, mechanistic considerations of the formation of hydrothermal carbon are proposed. On the base of these reaction schemes, the mineral borax, is introduced as an additive for the hydrothermal carbonisation of glucose. It was found to be a highly active catalyst, resulting in decreased reaction times and increased carbon yields. The chemical impact of borax, in the following is exploited for the modification of the micro- and nanostructure of hydrothermal carbon. From the borax - mediated aggregation of those primary species, widely applicable, low density, pure hydrothermal carbon aerogels with high porosities and specific surface areas are produced. To conclude the first section of the thesis, a short series of experiments is carried out, for the purpose of demonstrating the applicability of the HC model to “real” biowaste i.e. watermelon waste as feedstock for the production of useful materials.
In part two cyano - containing ionic liquids are employed as precursors for the synthesis of high - performance, heteroatom - containing carbon materials. By varying the ionic liquid precursor and the carbonisation conditions, it was possible to design highly active non - metal electrocatalyst for the reduction of oxygen. In the direct reduction of oxygen to water (like used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells), compared to commercial platinum catalysts, astonishing activities are observed. In another example the selective and very cost efficient electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide is presented. In a last example the synthesis of graphitic boron carbon nitrides from the ionic liquid 1 - Ethyl - 3 - methylimidazolium - tetracyanoborate is investigated in detail. Due to the employment of unreactive salts as a new tool to generate high surface area these materials were first time shown to be another class of non - precious metal oxygen reduction electrocatalyst.Die Notwendigkeit einer nachhaltigen Energiewirtschaft, sowie der nachhaltigen Chemie stellen die Motivation der vorgelegten Arbeit. Auf Grundlage separater Untersuchungen, die jeweils in engem Bezug zum Element Kohlenstoff stehen, kann die Arbeit in zwei Themenfelder geordnet werden. Der erste Teil behandelt die nachhaltige Herstellung nützlicher Kohlenmaterialien mit Hilfe des Verfahrens der hydrothermalen Carbonisierung. Im zweiten Teil wird die Synthese von Bor und Stickstoff angereicherten Kohlen aus ionischen Flüssigkeiten für elektrochemische Anwendungen abgehandelt. Insbesondere geht es um die Anwendung in Wasserstoff-Brennstoffzellen. Als Ergebnis einer sorgfältigen Literatur¬zusammenfassung der Bereiche Hydrothermolyse, hydrothermale Carbonisierung und Chemie des Hydroxymethylfurfurals wird ein chemisch-mechanistisches Modell zur Entstehung der Hydrothemalkohle vorgestellt. Auf der Basis dieses Modells wird ein neues Additiv zur hydrothermalen Carbonisierung von Zuckern vorgestellt. Die Verwendung des einfachen Additivs, genauer Borax, erlaubt eine wesentlich verkürzte und zu niedrigeren Temperaturen hin verschobene Prozessführung mit höheren Ausbeuten. Anhand des mechanistischen Modells wird ein Einfluss auf die Reaktion von Zuckern mit der reaktiven Kohlenvorstufe (Hydroxymethylfurfural) identifiziert. Die chemische Wirkung des Minerals Borax in der hydrothermalen Carbonisierung wird im Folgenden zur Herstellung vielfältig anwendbarer, hochporöser Kohlen mit einstellbarer Partikelgröße genutzt. Zum Abschluss des ersten Teils ist in einer Serie einfacher Experimente die Anwendbarkeit des mechanischen Modells auf die Verwendung „echter“ Biomasse in Form von Wassermelonenabfall gezeigt. Im zweiten Teil werden verschiedene cyano-haltige ionische Flüssigkeiten zur ionothermalen Synthese von Hochleistungskohlen verwendet. Durch Variation der ionischen Flüssigkeiten und Verwendung unterschiedlicher Synthesebedingungen wird die Herstellung hochaktiver, metallfreier Katalysatoren für die elektrochemische Reduktion von Sauerstoff erreicht. In der direkten Reduktion von Sauerstoff zu Wasser (wie sie in Brennstoffzellen Anwendung findet) werden, verglichen zu konventionellen Platin-basierten elektrochemischen Katalysatoren, erstaunliche Aktivitäten erreicht. In einem anderen Beispiel wird die selektive Herstellung von Wasserstoffperoxid zu sehr geringen Kosten vorgestellt. Abschließend wird anhand der Verwendung der ionischen Flüssigkeit 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium-tetracyanoborat eine detaillierte Betrachtung zur Herstellung von graphitischem Borcarbonitrid vorgestellt. Unter Verwendung unreaktiver Salze, als einfaches Werkzeug zur Einführung großer inneren Oberflächen wird erstmals die elektrokatalytische Aktivität eines solchen Materials in der elektrochemischen Sauerstoffreduktion gezeigt.

Full textAbstract:
The work presented in this thesis is concerned with development of spectroscopic detection methods based on absorption spectroscopy using semiconductor lasers, with particular ref- erence to the field of medical diagnostics through breath analysis. The first part of this thesis deals with the design and testing of a prototype analyser for simultaneous monitoring of the exchange gases O2 , CO2 and H2O in breath. The aim of this analyser is to provide information required to monitor respiration, with potential use in intensive care monitoring or during anaesthesia. The relatively high concentrations of these gases in breath and read- ily available diode laser sources make detection in the near-infrared (NIR) ideal. However, the relatively weakly absorbing A-band O2 transitions at 760 nm require the application of a sensitive spectroscopic method, cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS). In contrast, CO2 and H2O are monitored using direct single pass absorption spectroscopy, with transitions arising from the 2ν1 + ν3 band at 2 μm and ν1 + ν3 band at 1.3 μm, respectively. It has been demonstrated that these gases can be detected simultaneously over a short pathlength (2.74 - 4 cm) in the respiratory flow by combining various spectroscopic methodologies and real-time data analysis. This analyser is shown to offer a viable alter- native for monitoring respiration, exhibiting absolute detection limits of changes of 0.26 % O2 , 0.02 % CO2 and 0.003 % H2O with a 10 ms time resolution, which are comparable to current mass spectrometry based methods, but without their inherent delays. Following this, investigations into the detection of the main gas constituents in breath in the NIR employing noise-reduction modulation based spectroscopic techniques, namely wavelength and frequency modulation (WMS and FMS respectively) are also reported. The described WMS studies on water at 1.37 μm provide a demonstration of conventional WMS detection, as well as a “proof-of-principle” example of a relatively new approach to calibrating the non-absolute information obtained from a WMS absorption signal. Typically WMS spectra are calibrated using mixtures of known gas concentrations or an absolute direct absorption spectrum where possible. In this work however, a self-calibrating method, the phasor decomposition method (PDM), is employed and the returned concentration from this calibration is compared to direct absorption measurement. From this, the calculated concentration using the PDM is found to differ by 9 % from the concentration value obtained by direct absorption, providing an alternative method of calibration for when direct absorption measurements are not possible. The use of FMS in the NIR is also demonstrated as a potential alternative to CEAS for monitoring O2 at 760 nm. FMS detection is performed on atmospherically broadened O2 and a time-normalised αmin(t) of 2.45 ×10−6 cm−1 s1/2 is obtained, which is two orders of magnitude less sensitive than the value of αmin(t) = 2.35 ×10−8 cm−1 s1/2 obtained with CEAS. This combined with the experimental requirements of an FMS system, make its use for detection of O2 a less practicable option compared to CEAS for real-time breath analysis. The latter work in this thesis involves a change in focus to detection of trace gases in breath in the mid-infrared (MIR). The move of spectroscopic detection to the MIR exploits the larger absorption cross-sections available in this region, and to achieve this, a relatively new form of semiconductor laser, the quantum cascade laser (QCL) is used. The design of a continuous wave QCL spectrometer at 8 μm and its operating characteristics are demon- strated and improvements in its performances are also discussed. This QCL system is then utilised to demonstrate the potential of monitoring species in breath, namely the narrow- band absorber methane and the broadband absorber acetone, taking into consideration the potential interference from other absorbing species in breath and the different spectroscopic characteristics exhibited by these molecules. Finally, the potential to further improve the sensitive detection of trace gases in breath in the MIR is also investigated with studies on the use of CEAS and multipass cells. In this work, the molecule of interest is the biomarker OCS, using transitions of the 2ν2 band at 1031 cm−1 , that are probed using a 10 μm QCL. The application of CEAS in the MIR is not as well developed as in the NIR, and the experimental consequences of using optical cavities at these wavelengths, where equipment tends to be more limited, are investigated and sensitivities discussed in the context of other literature. The experimental procedure of optimising a cavity for CEAS using the off-axis alignment method is also studied in detail, as well as the addition of WMS to further improve the signal quality. An effective absorption pathlength of ∼ 100 m was achieved in the cavity, with a bandwidth reduced αmin(BW) of 1.7 ×10−7 cm−1 Hz−1/2 using WMS CEAS achieved. With the poorer quality optics and limitations in equipment in the MIR for CEAS experiments, the use of a multipass cell, a 238 m Herriott cell, is also investigated as an alternative to the use of an optical cavity at 10 μm. Detection of OCS using direct absorption and WMS is demonstrated in the Herriott cell, achieving αmin(BW) = 2.03×10−8 cm−1 Hz−1/2 using WMS. This shows an improvement in sensitivity compared to WMS CEAS, and also shows the potential for future work on biomarker detection, as it approaches the ∼ ppb levels required for breath analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio techniques have long promised good contrast and high resolution for imaging human tissue and tumours; however, to date, this promise has not entirely been realised. In recent years, microwave imaging has been recognised as a promising non-ionising and non-invasive alternative screening technology, gaining its applicability to breast cancer by the significant contrast in the dielectric properties at microwave frequencies of normal and malignant tissues. This thesis deals with the development of two novel imaging methods based on UWB microwave signals. First, the mode-matching (MM) Bessel-functions-based algorithm, which enables the identification of the presence and location of significant scatterers inside cylindrically-shaped objects is introduced. Next, with the aim of investigating more general 3D problems, the Huygens principle (HP) based procedure is presented. Using HP to forward propagate the waves removes the need to apply matrix generation/inversion. Moreover, HP method provides better performance when compared to conventional time-domain approaches; specifically, the signal to clutter ratio reaches 8 dB, which matches the best figures that have been published. In addition to their simplicity, the two proposed methodologies permit the capture of a minimum dielectric contrast of 1:2, the extent to which different tissues, or differing conditions of tissues, can be discriminated in the final image. Moreover, UWB allows all the information in the frequency domain to be utilised, by combining information gathered from the individual frequencies to construct a consistent image with a resolution of approximately one quarter of the shortest wavelength in the dielectric medium. The power levels used and the specific absorption rates are well within safety limits, while the bandwidths satisfy the UWB definition of being at least 20% of the centre frequencies. It follows that the methodologies permit the detection and location of significant scatterers inside a volume. Validation of the techniques through both simulations and measurements have been performed and presented, illustrating the effectiveness of the methods.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the study of a range of ion-molecule reactions at very low collision energies using a newly developed experimental technique which involves the reaction of velocity-selected beams of translationally cold neutral molecules with very low kinetic energy ion ensembles. These studies have been enabled by the construction of a new apparatus for trapping and laser-cooling gas phase atomic ions (40Ca⁺). The laser-cooling process results in the formation of ordered, low kinetic energy, lattice-like ion structures, also known as "Coulomb crystals". The properties of single and multicomponent Coulomb crystals (which may also involve molecular ions), and their manipulation via modulation of the applied fields, are explored experimentally and with the use of molecular dynamics simulations. Variations in the laser-cooling parameters are shown to result in different steady-state populations of the electronic states of 40Ca⁺ involved with the laser cooling cycle, and these are modelled within an appropriate theoretical framework. The imaging of 40Ca⁺ fluorescence as a function of time allows the study of various ion-molecule reactions at collision energies around 300 K, with single ion sensitivity. These reaction studies are extended to low-temperature (collision energies close to 1 K), by combination of the ion trap apparatus with a bent quadrupole guide velocity-selector. Ion-molecule collision energies are shown to be variable over a short range through a change in the quadrupole guide voltage, or the ion trapping parameters; the effect of these modulations on the rate constant is explored for Ca⁺ + CH₃F. Bimolecular rate constants for the reactions of 40Ca⁺ with CH₃F, CH₂F₂ and CH₃Cl have been determined for a range of 40Ca⁺ state populations, allowing resolution of the global rate contributions from the ground and combined excited states. These results are analysed in the context of capture theories and ab initio electronic structure calculations. In each case, suppression of the ground state rate constant is explained by the presence of either a submerged or real barrier on the ground state potential surface. Rates of reaction from the combined excited states are generally found to be in line with capture theories, and in some cases variation is found between the high and low collision energy regimes. Molecular product ions generated in these experiments have been shown to be sympathetically-cooled into the crystal structure, and subsequently identified through resonance-excitation mass spectrometry. Molecular ions were also produced by multiphoton laser ionisation of a thermal background gas of OCS molecules. An ion-molecule reaction involving a molecular ion, that of charge transfer between OCS⁺ and ND₃, has been studied at a collision energy near 1 K for the first time using sympathetically-cooled OCS⁺ and velocity-selected ND₃. These experiments illustrate the generality of the techniques described herein, and should lead to many possibilities for future studies.

Full textAbstract:
Although strategic planning has been used successfully in most major business institutions, higher education has been slow to adopt this management technique. Involvement in planning is a critical issue for allied health educational programs, such as physical therapy, which are relatively new to the academic environment. These programs face a continual need to update their curricula and clinical education based on rapid changes in the health care delivery system and the profession. The problem of this study was to determine the extent to which the strategic planning process is currently applied in institutions in the United States which offer accredited physical therapy educational programs.
The population of this study was made up of the chief executive officers of the 115 public and independent institutions that offer physical therapy educational programs. Selected experts on strategic planning and chief executive officers were surveyed in two phases using a mailed questionnaire designed to measure the organization, characteristics, and impact of strategic planning in institutions that offer accredited physical therapy educational programs. Seventy-three percent of the chief executive officers responded, and 50.9 percent indicated their involvement with strategic planning by completing the questionnaire.
The findings indicate that, although there is general agreement between the experts and the chief executive officers concerning the characteristics of strategic planning, differences exist. Differences were also identified between academic health centers and other types of institutions, between public and independent institutions, and between institutions by type of physical therapy degree offered. It was concluded that, in the opinion of the chief executive officers, strategic planning processes are being practiced in institutions that offer physical therapy programs, that this process is compatible with academic collegiality, that changes are made in policies and programs but not in the mission, that although faculty members including those from physical therapy are involved, the role and the involvement of these individuals is unclear, and that information-gathering and evaluation methods could be refined.

Abstract Noise is an unwanted sound; requires reduction and control through the use of absorptive materials. This is imperative due to the adverse effect noise poses to human health, knowledge dissemination, and tranquility which is increasing daily due to industrialization and heightened allied activities. The use of natural and synthetic reinforced composites in noise pollution control is an emerging area of research. This study aims to develop and characterize fly ash nanoparticles reinforced epoxy resin composite for acoustic applications. Samples were prepared with fly ash nanoparticles reinforcement at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% and investigation of noise reduction coefficient (NRC), porosity and mechanical properties (hardness, impact, flexural strength) of samples were done. Cenospheres were obtained when fly ash particles were characterized separately with the aid of sieve analysis and x-ray fluorescence analysis. The cenospheres are hollow spherical and lightweight, inertfiller material. Correlation between porosity of the samples and their sound absorption properties was observed and showed that as porosity increased, the NRC values increased and as the porosity decreased the NRC values decreased. It was also observed that heat of polymerization, fly ash nanoparticles structure and air bubbles during sample preparation (mixing) influenced the porosity values which in turn influenced the NRC values of the composite. There was also a steady decrease in mechanical properties, as reinforcements were added (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%), this was attributed to the high surface areas and shape of reinforcement added.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last few decades, in-place recycling of asphalt pavements has seen increased use by the highway industry, primarily to take a dvantage of potential cost and logistical savings compared to conventional reconstruction. More recently, the U.S. Navy and Federal Aviation Administration have allowed recycling to be used on airfields with lighter traffic. This report contains a discussion of in-place recycling design considerations obtained from a literature review of its use in the highway industry. Observations developed from a review of airfield pavement projects that have utilized recycling is also included. A structural analysis was performed using the Pavement-Transportation Computer Assisted Structural Engineering (PCASE) tool to determine typical stiffness values that recycled layers must achieve to support various types of military aircraft traffic for different pavement structures. Overall, in-place recycling is recommended for consideration as a rehabilitati on technique for military airfield pavements, and further investigation is recommended before it is implemented it into design guidance.

Full textAbstract:
Training and professional development of nuclear power plant personnel are essential components of the atomic energy industry’s successful performance. The rapid growth of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies allowed to expand their scope and caused the need for various studies and experiments in terms of their application and effectiveness. Therefore, this publication studies the peculiarities of the application of VR and AR technologies for the training and professional development of personnel of nuclear power plants. The research and experiments on various aspects of VR and AR applications for specialists’ training in multiple fields have recently started. The analysis of international experience regarding the technologies application has shown that powerful companies and large companies have long used VR and AR in the industries they function. The paper analyzes the examples and trends of the application of VR technologies for nuclear power plants. It is determined that VR and AR’s economic efficiency for atomic power plants is achieved by eliminating design errors before starting the construction phase; reducing the cost and time expenditures for staff travel and staff training; increasing industrial safety, and increasing management efficiency. VR and AR technologies for nuclear power plants are successfully used in the following areas: modeling various atomic energy processes; construction of nuclear power plants; staff training and development; operation, repair, and maintenance of nuclear power plant equipment; presentation of activities and equipment. Peculiarities of application of VR and AR technologies for training of future specialists and advanced training of nuclear power plant personnel are analyzed. Staff training and professional development using VR and AR technologies take place in close to real-world conditions that are safe for participants and equipment. Applying VR and AR at nuclear power plants can increase efficiency: to work out the order of actions in the emergency mode; to optimize the temporary cost of urgent repairs; to test of dismantling/installation of elements of the equipment; to identify weaknesses in the work of individual pieces of equipment and the working complex as a whole. The trends in the application of VR and AR technologies for the popularization of professions in nuclear energy among children and youth are outlined. Due to VR and AR technologies, the issues of “nuclear energy safety” have gained new importance both for the personnel of nuclear power plants and for the training of future specialists in the energy sector. Using VR and AR to acquaint children and young people with atomic energy in a playful way, it becomes possible to inform about the peculiarities of the nuclear industry’s functioning and increase industry professions’ prestige.

Full textAbstract:
The Annual Report on Migration and Asylum 2016 provides an overview of trends, policy developments and significant debates in the area of asylum and migration during 2016 in Ireland. Some important developments in 2016 included: The International Protection Act 2015 was commenced throughout 2016. The single application procedure under the Act came into operation from 31 December 2016. The International Protection Office (IPO) replaced the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner (ORAC) from 31 December 2016. The first instance appeals body, the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT), replacing the Refugee Appeals Tribunal (RAT), was established on 31 December 2016. An online appointments system for all registrations at the Registration Office in Dublin was introduced. An electronic Employment Permits Online System (EPOS) was introduced. The Irish Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme was extended for a further five years to October 2021. The Second National Action Plan to Prevent and Combat Human Trafficking was published. 2016 was the first full year of implementation of the Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP). A total of 240 persons were relocated to Ireland from Greece under the relocation strand of the programme and 356 persons were resettled to Ireland. Following an Oireachtas motion, the Government agreed to allocate up to 200 places to unaccompanied minors who had been living in the former migrant camp in Calais and who expressed a wish to come to Ireland. This figure is included in the overall total under the IRPP. Ireland and Jordan were appointed as co-facilitators in February 2016 to conduct preparatory negotiations for the UN high level Summit for Refugees and Migrants. The New York Declaration, of September 2016, sets out plans to start negotiations for a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration and a global compact for refugees to be adopted in 2018. Key figures for 2016: There were approximately 115,000 non-EEA nationals with permission to remain in Ireland in 2016 compared to 114,000 at the end of 2015. Net inward migration for non-EU nationals is estimated to be 15,700. The number of newly arriving immigrants increased year-on-year to 84,600 at April 2017 from 82,300 at end April 2016. Non-EU nationals represented 34.8 per cent of this total at end April 2017. A total of 104,572 visas, both long stay and short stay, were issued in 2016. Approximately 4,127 persons were refused entry to Ireland at the external borders.

. In this article, based on the analysis of the main elements of the activities of officials of border agencies in the conduct of administrative investigation in cases of administrative offenses, its general and specific characteristics are highlighted, which together allowed the author to propose a definition of the investigated type of activity. Not only the current legal regulation in the field of application of the administrative investigation specified in Article 28.7 of the Administrative Code, but also the inconsistency of the emerging scientific-categorical apparatus of the affected subject area are subjected to critical consideration.

Review question / Objective: The effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of subacute and chronic cough. Eligibility criteria: In the literature, the intervention measures of the treatment group were acupuncture or acupuncture combined with other therapies agent, while the control group was placebo or oral non-acupuncture therapy such as western medicine and Chinese medicine; In the same study, when the treatment group was acupuncture combined with other treatment methods, the intervention measures adopted by the control group, except no acupuncture intervention, must be the same as the experimental group .We excluded trials comparing one acupuncture therapy with another, or trials comparing the use of other non- acupuncture related therapy in this review, and trials where acupuncture therapy were not the main intervention were excluded. No limitations were imposed concerning the duration of the application, dosage, or the form of the acupuncture therapy used. We included trials that allowed concurrent use of other medications such as analgesics, antitussives, antipyretics, or mucolytics if they allowed equal access to such medication.

Full textAbstract:
After analysis of scientific literature, we defined that concept of “augmented reality” has following synonyms: “advanced reality”, “improved reality”, “enriched reality”, “mixed reality” and “hybrid reality”. Analysis of scientific literature and own practical experience of the use of augmented reality technologies application in educational practices allowed to state next: augmented reality technologies have a great potential for application in education; there are some cases of augmented reality use for school education; positive aspects of augmented reality technologies application in higher education institutions are confirmed by experiments (isolated cases); only few universities in Ukraine apply augmented reality technologies to educate students; only few universities in Ukraine have special subjects or modules in schedule to teach students to develop augmented reality technologies; various scientific events, mass events, competitions are held in Ukraine, and specialized training on the augmentation of augmented reality technologies is carried out, but this is non-systematic and does not have special state orientation and support. Features of introduction of virtual and augmented reality technologies at Sumy State University (Ukraine) are identified: “e-learning ecosystems” was created; in 2019, augmented and virtual reality research laboratory was established. Advantages and disadvantages of project activity in education are described: project activity is one of the most important components of educational process; it promotes creative self-development and self-realization of project implementers and forms various life competencies. It is determined that augmented reality application for implementation of educational projects will help: to increase students’ interest for educational material; formation of new competences; increase of students’ motivation for independent educational and cognitive activity; activation of educational activities; formation of positive motivation for personal and professional growth; conditions creation for development of personal qualities (creativity, teamwork, etc.). Current trends in implementation of educational projects were identified: most of the winner projects were implemented using augmented reality technology; augmented reality technologies were used in projects to teach different disciplines in higher education institutions. Augmented reality technology application for project activity has positive impact on learning outcomes and competitiveness of the national workforce; it will enhance the country’s position in the global economic space.
