Lithium/fluorinated carbon (Li/CFx) batteries are the highest-energy-density primary batteries which are widely used in various field. Herein, the novel fluorinated carbon (CFx) with superior performance are made of fluorination of ketjen-black. The fluorinated ketjen-black (F-KB) as the cathode material of Li/CFx delivered a high specific capacity over 880 mAh g-1 with a discharge plateau ~3.1 V (vs. Li+/Li). The energy density over 2400 Wh kg-1 for F-KB is higher than the theoretical energy density (2180 Wh kg-1) of fluorinated graphite. F-KB can be discharged at high rate of 5C delivering a high-power density of 9710 W kg-1 with the energy density of 1610 Wh kg-1, showing good performance of rate capability.

In the first part of this paper, a comprehensive theoretical study of molecular structure, stability, intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB) and [Formula: see text]-electron delocalization ([Formula: see text]-ED) of the enol and thiol tautomers of 3-thioxopropanal (TPA) in the ground state is performed. In this regard, all of the plausible conformations of TPA at M06-2X/6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) are optimized and a variety of theoretical levels are employed to identify the global minimum. Our calculations show that E1 is the most stable form that is in contrast to the results of Gonzalez et al. [J Phys Chem 101: 9710, 1997]. In order to elucidate this duality, the IMHB and [Formula: see text]-ED of chelated forms (E1 and T1) have been extensively investigated. So, it is found that both of the IMHB analysis and [Formula: see text]-ED concepts emphasize on the E1, as the global minimum. In the second part of this study, a set of simple electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents such as CN, F, Cl, CH3 and NH2 have been considered to evaluate their effects on the IMHB of the first singlet excited state of E1 and T1 at TD-DFT/6–311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) level of theory. According to our analysis, it was found that the IMHB strength of the excited states are much weaker than the ground states. Surprisingly, the IMHB of thiol derivatives is stronger than the enol ones in contrast to the ground state. Furthermore, the substitution effects in the ground and excited states are significantly different. Finally, various linear correlations between the IMHB energies with geometrical, topological and molecular orbital parameters are obtained.

Associations between cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) polymorphisms and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) levels before and after 20 wk of endurance training were investigated in the HERITAGE Family Study. Plasma HDL-c, HDL2-c, HDL3-c, and apolipoprotein (apo)A1 levels were measured, and 13 CETP single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 265 blacks and 486 whites. Three haplotypes defined by SNPs at the −1337, −971, and −629 sites were strongly associated with baseline HDL-c levels in whites. Both C−1337T and C−629A were associated with baseline HDL-c ( P < 0.001) and apoA1 ( P < 0.01) when tested separately. However, only C−629A remained significant in a combined model. G−971A was not associated with HDL phenotypes, but showed significant interactions with C−629A ( P = 0.002) on baseline traits. Genotype-by-sex interactions were observed at the −629 locus for HDL3-c ( P = 0.004) and apoA1 ( P = 0.02) training responses in whites. In women, the −629 A/A homozygotes showed greater increases in HDL3-c ( P = 0.02) and apoA1 ( P = 0.02) levels than the other genotypes. Finally, apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and the CETP C−629A locus contributed independently and in additive fashion to the HDL traits, explaining 6.0–8.8% of the variance. The CETP −1337T and −629A alleles are associated with higher baseline HDL-c and apoA1 levels. The beneficial effects of endurance training on plasma HDL3-c and apoA1 levels are evident in white women homozygous for the −629A allele. The CETP and APOE genotypes account for up to 9% of the variance in HDL-c phenotypes in the HERITAGE Family Study.

A subset$A$of a finite abelian group$G$is called$(k,l)$-sum-free if the sum of$k$(not necessarily distinct) elements of$A$never equals the sum of$l$(not necessarily distinct) elements of $A$. We find an explicit formula for the maximum size of a$(k,l)$-sum-free subset in$G$for all$k$and$l$in the case when$G$is cyclic by proving that it suffices to consider$(k,l)$-sum-free intervals in subgroups of $G$. This simplifies and extends earlier results by Hamidoune and Plagne [‘A new critical pair theorem applied to sum-free sets in abelian groups’,Comment. Math. Helv. 79(1) (2004), 183–207] and Bajnok [‘On the maximum size of a$(k,l)$-sum-free subset of an abelian group’,Int. J. Number Theory 5(6) (2009), 953–971].

This paper presents a 10Gb/s concatenated encoder compatible with the protocol of G.975. To achieve the high data rate, 8 RS encoders work based on the pipelined pattern. After the interleaving realized with 8 RAM blocks, the output of RS encoders are sent to 64 BCH encoders which work parallel. This concatenated encoder has been implemented in Xilinx Vertex5 FPGA, and the measurement results show that the data rate of 10Gb/b can be realized under the working frequency of 156MHz. About 9711 registers, 6984 LUTs and 40 Block-RAMs are utilized for the whole encoder.

SummaryThe water activity of fresh cheese made from cows', ewes' and goats' milk, as well as curd cheese and whey cheese, responds to the equation aw = 0·9719−0·0044[NaCl] + 0·0041 pH, with a square of multiple correlation coefficient R2 = 0·95. This equation was obtained by multiple regression analysis of data point sets of the variables x (g NaCl/100 g moisture), y (pH) and z (water activity, aw) determined as the average of values provided by six samples of each unripe product. Application of this equation to 30 individual samples of unripe dairy products investigated yielded calculated aw values within ±0·005 and ±0·002 aw units of the experimental water activities in 86·7% and 53·3% of the samples, respectively. These results are closer to the experimental values than those provided by earlier predictive equations.

Phytochemicals or phenolic compounds are important natural bioactive molecules that plants accumulate in response to environmental conditions and may exert benef icial effects on health by protecting humans against many diseases. The aim of this work was to analyze the influence of biotic and abiotic stress on the accumulation of flavonoids and phenolic acids on leaves of two cultivars of Amaranthus hypochondriacus, which are differentiated by the colour of their leaves (red or green). Phenolic compounds were extracted using the accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) method and their identif ication was carried out by LC-MS analysis. Rutin was the main flavonoid in amaranth leaves; the highest concentrations were found in green leaves when plants were subjected to stress (9715 μg g-1). Phenolic acids were minor compounds; ferulic acid was only present in red leaves (0.5 μg g-1) and p-coumaric acid only in green leaves (0.7 μg g-1). Our results indicate that leaves from A. hypochondriacus, the main species that produce edible seeds, are a good source of phytochemical compounds and their accumulation could be driven by the growing conditions.

A.WITHHOLDING IRRIGATION: REDUCTION OF WATER USE AND GRAIN YIELD OF IRRIGATED RICE 2 ABSTRACT One of the challenges of irrigated rice is to reduce the use of water for irrigation and maintain high level of productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate grain yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of two rice cultivars subjected to different moments of withholding irrigation. The experiment was conducted during the crop seasons 2011/12 and 2012/13 in the experimental area of the Federal University of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. Two cultivars were used: the hybrid cultivar INOV CL and Puita INTA CL with four moments of early irrigation withhold: 5, 15, 25 and 35 days after anthesis (DAA). The design was randomized block with four replications. The moment of irrigation withhold did not affect the productivity of hybrid INOV CL in two seasons. The cultivar Puita INTA CL decreased the grain yield only when the withholding irrigation was performed at 5 and 15 DAA. The highest WUE was observed for INOV CL in the two seasons. Productivity can be maintained by performing early irrigation withholding and reduce the amount of water applied, according to the cultivar.

The thesis undertakes a Buddhist reading of Mary Oliver’s oeuvre. It seeks to fill a palpable lacuna in extant criticism of her work, which tends to adopt Romantic, Feminist, Ecocritical, and Christian viewpoints. Thus far, no criticism has offered a sustained reading of her work from a specifically Buddhist stance. The thesis is structured in five chapters. The introductory chapter is followed by a literature review. The next three chapters are devoted to the Buddhist themes of Mindfulness, Interconnection, and Impermanence respectively. Each chapter opens with detailed consideration of its respective theme before moving on to the analysis and amplification of poems pertinent to it. In addition, the main Buddhist theme of each chapter is subdivided into its component sub-themes or corollaries. The main methodological approach to Oliver’s poetry comprises explication de texte as this makes provision for detailed readings of the texts themselves. Furthermore, this approach has been adopted because it allows for in-depth exploration of Oliver’s literary devices, three notable examples of which are anaphora, adéquation, and correspondence. In the course of the discussion, reference is also made to the influence of Imagism and, more specifically, the Japanese haiku tradition insofar as they impact on her poetry. This discussion is intended to give some indication of Oliver’s place within the American poetic tradition. The predominant subject-matter of her corpus is an all-encompassing view of the natural world with its birth-life-decay-death cycle. She does not flinch from addressing the harsh and violent aspects of nature as well as its exuberance and beauty. Her unifying topos is being the bride of amazement as witness to the natural world. For her readers, this witnessing translates into an inner, potentially transformative process, ultimately integrating mind and heart. The thesis concludes with a list of references and a glossary of the Buddhist terms.

The master thesis deals with G.fast and G.mgfast transmission technologies, including their parameters. The work deals with the principle of vector DMT modulation and the possibility of time duplex TDD and full-duplex FDX in two-way communication used in these technologies. The following is a description of the line using the KHM model, which is suitable for simulations in the transmission band using G.fast and G.mgfast technologies. Subsequently, the disturbing effects of crosstalk at the near end of NEXT and the far end of FEXT and their elimination with these technologies are discussing. Part of the work explains supporting calculations to determine the SNR and bit allocation to calculate the baud rate. The work describes the methods of compensation of crosstalk FEXT and NEXT, which affect the resulting baud rate. The work also includes an application for simulation of transmission speed as a function of distance for G.fast and G.mgfast technologies, allowing changing input parameters and adjusting the transmission bandwidth based on G.9700 and G.9701 standards. Also, in work, an application is created to display the compensation of the influence of the transmitted signal crosstalk FEXT and NEXT, which allow the import of measured crosstalk between individual participants. The issue of influencing crosstalk for accurate measurements in the laboratory is also discussing. An application in the MATLAB environment is creating to display the measured characteristics.
