Abstract:
This study investigated an expert pianist's nine-month preparation for a public music performance (recital) through the collection of practice diaries and MIDI recordings of the eight scheduled pieces. Recordings were made under the experimentally varied conditions of solitary performance and public performance. The practice diaries revealed that the expert (an advanced student performer) allocated practice time consistently across the entire preparation period and tended to use mornings to practice the pieces perceived as being more difficult. Total preparation time for each of the pieces could be predicted on the basis of the pianist's subjective ratings of complexity and independent ratings of complexity given by other experts. An analysis of the performance data showed that, near the time of the recital, variability in performance tempo was large between pieces but very small for multiple renditions of the same piece, even under the different experimental conditions. Thus, to attain a highly reproducible public performance, the expert allocated practice time in response to task demands and engaged in specific preparations that would safeguard the performance against unexpected problems.

Abstract:
Abstract Six different procedures for radioiodination of mouse epidermal growth factor (EGF) all resulted in a heterogeneous 125I-labeled EGF preparation, as analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC. EGF preparations that had been iodinated with Chloramine T, lodogen, or lodo-beads were found mainly to consist of oxidized 125I-labeled EGF moieties. In contrast, the heterogeneous 125I-labeled EGF preparations obtained by using iodine monochloride, Protag-125, or lactoperoxidase-glucose oxidase-coupled beads (Enzymobeads) contained insignificant amounts of oxidized EGF entities. Ligand equivalence analysis (LEA) of distinct HPLC column fractions, obtained after preparative separation of Chloramine T-125I-labeled EGF, showed that the receptor-binding affinity of the tracer in all subfractions was less than the affinity of unlabeled EGF. This implies that HPLC purification of these 125I-labeled EGF preparations does not yield 125I-labeled EGF preparations with ligand equivalence. However, all but one HPLC column fraction of Enzymobeads-125I-labeled EGF showed ligand equivalence. Despite the small amount of the nonequivalent component in the Enzymobeads-labeled tracer, the nonchromatographed 125I-labeled EGF preparation showed ligand equivalence. No significant differences were observed in the maximal binding capacity of the different 125I-labeled EGF preparations.

Abstract:
In this paper, a valinomycin-functionalized nano-sized magnetic solid-phase extractant (VFE) with the core-shell structure and the Fe3O4 nanospheres as the core is prepared. Related performances are characterized and tested by SEM, PPMS, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, EDS, ICP-MS, and AAS. The optimal extraction conditions are obtained, namely, temperature 50 and#176;C or higher, pH not less than 9.3, and equilibrium extraction time about 35 min. Recycling performance experiments show that the extraction ratio of rubidium ions after 5 extraction-elution cycles is still up to 85.3%. Extraction experiments with the simulated brine, industrial wastewater, and domestic wastewater show that the VFE exhibits good selective extraction ability for rubidium ions in these water systems. This research is expected to provide a new method or a new material for the separation, extraction, enrichment, and detection of rubidium ions in water systems.

Full text
Abstract:
Acrylonitrile based engineering random copolymers were prepared via one step emulsion polymerization using ammonium persulfate (initiator), 1-dodecanthiol (chain transfer agent) and DOWFAX 8390 (surfactant) in the presence of water at approximately 65 0C. Three copolymer compositions were studied for novel polyacrylonitrile, (PAN)-polyhydroxyethyl acrylate (PHEA), PAN-polybutyl acrylate (PBA), novel PAN-polyt-butyl acrylate (PtBA), PAN-polyethyl acrylate (PEA) and PAN-polymethyl acrylate (PMA) with acrylate content varying from 8, 12 and 16 molar percent. Infrared spectroscopy, proton and carbon NMR were successfully utilized to confirm the chemical structure of copolymers. In order to determine the comonomer compositions in the copolymer structure, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, 1H NMR studies were carried out. Thermal (TGA, DSC) and mechanical properties of homo and copolymers were also investigated. Intrinsic viscosity (IV) measurements in dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution revealed that the molecular weight of the copolymers were quite enough to form ductile films. In this study, hydrogels and their copolymers of acrylonitrile (PAN-PHEA) were also studied. Some properties of the free standing copolymer films such as
swelling behaviors and densities were evaluated. It was also demonstrated that the nanocomposites of these copolymers could be utilized in filtration technology. Hence, novel PAN(88)-co-PMA(12) and polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites were prepared at various PANI loadings to remove toxic chromium(VI) solution from water. Chemical structure, swelling and fracture morphology of the nanocomposites membranes were studied. It was observed that PANI had a great impact on the chromium removal. Permeate flux and rejection of chromium(VI) were demonstrated for various pHs and chromium(VI) concentrations. Finally, influences of comonomer composition on the thermal properties of the copolymers were investigated to input their structure property relation.

Abstract:
Les supercondensateurs, en tant que dispositifs de stockage d'énergie, ont attiré une grande attention dans notre vie quotidienne pour combler l'écart entre les batteries et les condensateurs. Par conséquent, la préparation d'électrodes en matériaux composites à hautes performances pour les supercondensateurs joue un rôle vital dans leurs futurs développements technologiques. Dans ce contexte, les hydroxydes doubles lamellaires (HDL) et Ni(OH)2 ont été reconnus comme des électrodes prometteuses pour les supercondensateurs en raison de leurs réactions redox rapides et de leur comportement de type batterie.Le chapitre 1 donne un bref aperçu historique ainsi que les principes et le mécanisme de stockage d'énergie, les matériaux d'électrode des supercondensateurs, et les méthodes de caractérisation correspondantes.Le chapitre 2, après un bref rappel sur la synthèse et l’utilisation de matériaux à base d’HDL comme électrodes de supercondensateurs, on décrit la préparation d’HDL à base de Ni comme électrodes pour les supercondensateurs. Premièrement, des HDLs à base de NiFe sur mousse de Ni (NF) recouverte d'oxyde de graphène réduit (LDF NiFe/rGO/NF) ont été préparées par une méthode de dépôt électrochimique. L’électrode NiFe HDL/rGO/NF présente une capacité spécifique de 585 C g-1 à une densité de courant de 5 A g-1. Dans la deuxième partie de ce chapitre, nous décrivons la synthèse hydrothermale d’HDLs à base de NiAl enrobées sur des sphères de carbone (CS) supportées par des électrodes en mousse de Ni (NiAl DHL@CS/NF). La performance des matériaux préparés en tant qu'électrodes sans liant dans des supercondensateurs a été évaluée. Le matériau d'électrode NiAl DHL@CS/NF présente une capacité surfacique de 1042 mC cm-2 à 1 mA cm-2, beaucoup plus élevée comparée aux valeurs de capacités surfaciques de NiFe HDL@CS/NF (705.8 mC cm-2) et de NiCr LDHs@CS/NF (814.9 mC cm-2) à 1 mA cm-2. Enfin, un matériau composite à base de NiMnCr sur un substrat de mousse de nickel recouvert de sphères de carbone (NiMnCr HDL@CS/NF) a été préparée en utilisant un processus hydrothermal en deux étapes. Le nanocomposite ainsi obtenu a été investigué comme électrode dans un supercondensateur et présente une capacité spécifique de 569 C g-1 à 3 A g-1 avec une bonne stabilité. De plus, un supercondensateur hybride a été fabriqué en utilisant NiMnCr HDL@CS/NF comme électrode positive et FeOOH déposé sur NF (FeOOH/NF) comme électrode négative. Le dispositif présente une densité d'énergie de 48 Wh kg-1 à une densité de puissance de 402.7 W kg-1. Dans le chapitre 3, des électrodes sans liant Ni(OH)2@CuO sur une mousse de cuivre ont été synthétisées par un processus en deux étapes à température ambiante. Nous avons étudié l’effet du temps de dépôt (30, 50, 90, 150 et 200 s) sur le comportement électrochimique des électrodes obtenues. Parmi tous les échantillons, Ni(OH)2@CuO@Cu-150 présente la plus grande capacité surfacique de 7063 mC cm-2 à 20 mA cm-2, et a donc été choisi comme électrode positive dans un supercondensateur hybride. En utilisant de l'oxyde de graphène réduit dopé à l’azote sur de la mousse de nickel (N-rGO/NF) comme électrode négative, un supercondensateur hybride a été assemblé. Il présente une bonne flexibilité, une stabilité cyclique et une densité d'énergie surfacique élevée de 130.4 μWh cm-2 à une densité de puissance de 1.6 mW cm-2.Une conclusion générale rappelle les principaux résultats obtenus dans ce travail de thèse sur l'application de composites d'hydroxydes doubles lamellaires à base de Ni en tant qu’électrodes dans des dispositifs de stockage d'énergie, et présente quelques perspectives envisageables à la lumière de ces travaux (chapitre 4)
Supercapacitors, as energy storage devices, have drawn great attention in our daily life to bridge the gap between batteries and capacitors. Therefore, the preparation of high-performance material electrodes for supercapacitors plays a vital role in the future technological developments. In this context, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and Ni(OH)2 have been recognized as promising electrodes for supercapacitors, owing to their fast redox reaction and battery-type behavior.The Chapter 1 of my PhD work gives a brief historic overview, principles and mechanism of energy storage, electrode materials of supercapacitors and the corresponding characterization methods. In Chapter 2, after a brief introduction on LDHs and their investigation as electrode materials in supercapacitors, we summarize our results obtained on Ni-based LDHs as electrodes for supercapacitors. Firstly, NiFe LDHs on Ni foam (NF) coated with reduced graphene oxide (NiFe LDHs/rGO/NF) was prepared by electrochemical deposition method. NiFe LDHs/rGO/NF achieved enhanced specific capacity (585 C g-1 at a current density of 5 A g-1). Additionally, a flexible asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled using NiFe LDHs/rGO/NF as the cathode and mesoporous carbon (MC) coated on NF as the anode. The supercapacitor exhibited an energy density of 17.71 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 348.49 W kg-1. Secondly, NiAl LDHs coated on carbon spheres (CS) supported by Ni foam (NiAl LDHs@CS/NF) electrodes were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The performance of the prepared materials as binder-free electrodes in supercapacitors was assessed. The NiAl LDHs@CS/NF electrode achieved the largest areal capacity (1042 mC cm-2), as compared to the areal capacity values attained by NiFe LDHs@CS/NF (705.8 mC cm-2) and NiCr LDHs@CS/NF (814.9 mC cm-2) at 1 mA cm-2. Therefore, a hybrid supercapacitor device comprising NiAl LDHs@CS/NF as the positive electrode and N-doped reduced graphene/NF as the negative electrode was assembled, which attained an energy density of 43 μWh cm−2 at a power density of 0.805 mW cm−2. The hybrid supercapacitor was successfully applied to operate a windmill device continuously for 32 s. Finally, NiMnCr LDHs-carbon spheres modified Ni foam (NiMnCr LDHs@CS/NF) nanocomposite was prepared using a two-step hydrothermal process and exhibited a high specific capacity of 569 C g-1 at 3 A g-1 with good reversibility and stability. Furthermore, a hybrid supercapacitor was fabricated using NiMnCr LDHs@CS/NF as the positive electrode and FeOOH coated on NF (FeOOH/NF) as the negative electrode. The energy storage device reached an energy density of 48 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 402.7 W kg-1. In Chapter 3, Ni(OH)2@CuO@Cu foam binder-free electrodes were fabricated by a two-step process at room temperature with various deposition times (30, 50, 90, 150 and 200s). Among all the samples, Ni(OH)2@CuO@Cu-150 exhibited the largest areal capacity of 7063 mC cm-2 at 20 mA cm-2, and was therefore chosen as the positive electrode in a hybrid supercapacitor. Using N-doped reduced graphene oxide on nickel foam (N-rGO/NF) as the negative electrode, a hybrid supercapacitor was assembled. It displayed good flexibility, cycling stability and high areal energy density of 130.4 μWh cm−2 at a power density of 1.6 mW cm−2.In conclusion, all the results obtained in this thesis imply the promising potential application of Ni-based hydroxide composites as energy storage devices and provide valuable highlights to the exploration of new composite materials for supercapacitor electrodes in future works (Chapter 4)

Abstract:
Although composed in the 1930s, Herbert Howells' Requiem for unaccompanied voices was not performed or published until the early 1980s. The long period between its composition and publication has left many questions about its origins unanswered. The document attempts to clarify the confusing genesis of Howell's Requiem, and suggests that the motivation behind its composition was the commemoration of those who died in World War I, and not, as has been previously supposed, the death of Howells' son Michael in 1935. The development of Howells' own compositional style is traced through musical influences, and the difficult circumstances of Howells' formative years. Three stylistic influences are discussed: the generation of English composers immediately preceding Howells, the generation of English composers from the sixteenth century, and the English countryside and the tunes of its people. The last two chapters deal with the Requiem in detail, providing conductors with textual and musical analyses and with suggestions for score preparation, rehearsal techniques, and performance logistics.

Abstract:
Assessments of skeletal muscle functional capacity or bilateral muscular asymmetry often necessitate maximal contractile effort, which exacerbates muscle fatigue or injury. Tensiomyography (TMG) has been investigated in laboratory settings, as a means to assess muscle contractile function following fatigue; however observations have not been contextualised by concurrent physiological measures. TMG has more sparingly been applied in the field, with elite athletes. The aim of this thesis was to examine acute alterations and underlying variations in muscle contractile mechanics, through the application of TMG, contextualised with established physiological measures; and to apply TMG within high performance sports programmes. TMG successfully detected fatigue, evident from reduced strength, by displaying impaired muscle displacement, accompanied by elevated resting muscle tension. Greater asymmetry was detected in individuals with asymmetric strength; however, symmetry was masked during more complex tasks. Increased day-to-day variability was detected among highly trained athletes compared to recreationally active individuals. Acute training adaptations were detected, in contractile mechanics, in individual muscles. TMG could be useful in establishing fatigue status of skeletal muscle without exacerbating the functional decrements of the muscle, whilst also providing useful screening information for detecting asymmetry which may not be apparent during functional actions.

Abstract:
This dissertation is comprised of five chapters detailing advances in the synthesis and preparation of polymers and materials and the application of these materials in lithium-sulfur batteries for next-generation energy storage technology. The research described herein discusses progress towards overcoming three critical challenges presented for optimizing Li-S battery performance, specifically, addressing the highly electrically insulating nature of elemental sulfur, extending the cycling lifetime of Li-S batteries, and enhancing the charge discharge rate capability of Li-S cathodes. The first chapter is a review highlighting the use of polymers in conventional lithium-sulfur battery cathodes. Li-S battery technology presents a grand opportunity to realize an electrochemical energy storage system with high enough capacity and energy density capable of addressing the needs presented by electrical vehicles and base load storage. Polymers are ubiquitous throughout conventional Li-S batteries and their use has been critical in overcoming the challenges presented for optimizing Li-S cathode performance towards practical implementation. The high electrical resistivity of elemental sulfur requires the incorporation of conductive additives in order to formulate it into a functional cathode. A polymer binder must be utilized to integrate the elemental sulfur as the active material with the conductive additives into an electrically conductive composite affixed to a current collector. The electrochemical action of the Li-S battery results in the electroactive sulfur species converting between high and low order lithium polysulfides as the battery is discharged and charged. These lithium polysulfides become soluble at various stages throughout this cycling process that lead to a host of complications including the loss of electroactive material and slow rate capabilities. The use of polymer coatings applied to both the electroactive material and the cathode as a whole have been successful in mitigating the dissolution of lithium polysulfides by confining the redox reactions to the cathode. Elemental sulfur is largely intractable in conventional solvents and suffers from poor chemical compatibility limiting synthetic modification. By incorporating S-S bonds into copolymeric materials the electrochemical reactivity of elemental sulfur can be maintained and allow these polymers to function as the electroactive cathode materials while enabling improved processability and properties via the comonomeric inclusions. The use of inverse vulcanization, which is the direct copolymerization of elemental sulfur, is highlighted as a facile method to prepare polymeric materials with a high content of S-S bonds for use as active cathode materials. The second chapter focuses on the synthesis and polymerization of a novel bifunctional monomer containing both a styrenic group to access free radical polymerization and a propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) to install conductive polymer pathways upon an orthogonal oxidative polymerization. The styrenic ProDOT monomer (ProDOT-Sty) was successfully applied to a two-step sequential polymerization where the styrenic group was first leveraged in a controlled radical polymerization (CRP) to afford well defined linear homo- and block polymer precursors with pendant electropolymerizable ProDOT moieties. Subsequent treatment of the these linear polymer precursors with an oxidant in solution enabled the oxidative polymerization of the pendant ProDOT groups to install conductive polythiophene inclusions. Although the synthesis and CRP of ProDOT-Sty was novel, the key advance in this work was successful demonstration that sequential radical and oxidative polymerizations could be carried out to install conductive polymer pathways through an otherwise nonconductive polymer matrix. The third chapter expands upon the use of ProDOT-Sty to install conductive polymer pathways through a sulfur copolymer matrix. The highly electrically insulating nature of elemental sulfur precludes its direct use as a cathode in Li-S batteries and thus the use of ProDOT-Sty in the preparation of a high sulfur content copolymer with conductive inclusions was targeted to improve electrical properties. Inverse vulcanization of elemental sulfur with ProDOT-Sty and a minimal amount of 1,3-diisopropenylbenzene (DIB) was first completed to afford a sulfur rich copolymer with electropolymerizable side chains. Subsequently, the improved processability of the sulfur copolymer was exploited to prepare thin polymer films on electrode surfaces. The poly(ProDOT-Sty-𝑐𝑜-DIB-𝑐𝑜-sulfur) (ProDIBS) films were then subjected to oxidizing conditions via an electrochemical cell to invoke electropolymerization of the ProDOT inclusions and install conductive poly(ProDOT) pathways. Evaluation of the electrical properties with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that the charge transfer resistance was reduced from 148 kΩ to 0.4 kΩ upon installation of the conductive poly(ProDOT) corresponding to an improvement in charge conductance of more than 95%. This also represented a key advance in expanding the scope of the inverse vulcanization methodology as the first example of utilizing a comonomer with a functional side chain. The fourth chapter focuses on expanding the scope of the inverse vulcanization polymerization methodology to include aryl alkyne based comonomers and the application of new these new sulfur copolymers as active cathode materials in Li-S batteries. The early work on developing inverse vulcanization relied heavily on the use of DIB as one of the few comonomers amenable to bulk copolymerization with elemental sulfur. One of the principal limitations in comonomer selection for inverse vulcanization is the solubility of the comonomer in molten sulfur. Generally it has been observed that aromatic compounds with minimal polarity are miscible and thus common classes of comonomers such as acrylates and methacrylates are immiscible and preclude their compatibility with inverse vulcanization. It was found that aryl alkynes are a unique class of compounds that are both miscible with molten sulfur and provide reactivity with sulfur centered radicals through the unsaturated carbon-carbon triple bonds. Additionally, it was found that internal alkynes were best suited for inverse vulcanization to preclude abstraction of the somewhat acidic hydrogen from terminal alkynes. 1,4-Diphenylbutadiyne (DiPhDY) was selected as a prototypical comonomer of this class of compounds for preparing high sulfur content copolymers via inverse vulcanization. Poly(sulfur-𝑐𝑜-DiPhDY) was prepared with various compositions of S:DiPhDY and these copolymers were formulated into cathodes for electrochemical testing in Li-S batteries. The poly(S-𝑐𝑜-DiPhDY) based cathodes exhibited the best performance reported at the time for a polymeric cathode material with the figure of merit of the first inverse vulcanizate to enable a cycle lifetime of up to 1000 cycles. The fifth chapter details the preparation of composite materials composed of a sulfur or copolymeric sulfur matrix with molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) inclusions and the use of these materials for Li-S cathodes with rapid charge/discharge rate capabilities. The higher order lithium polysulfide redox products (e.g., Li₂S₈ Li₂S₆) generated during Li-S cycling are soluble in the electrolyte solution of the battery. The rate capability of the Li-S battery is thus fundamentally limited by mass transfer as these electroactive species must diffuse back to the cathode surface in order to undergo further reduction (discharge) or oxidation (charge). In order to limit the effective diffusion length of the soluble lithium polysulfides and therefore mitigate the diffusion limited rate, composite materials with fillers capable of binding the lithium sulfides were prepared. MoS₂ was selected as the filler as simulations had indicated lithium polysulfide had a strong binding interaction with the surface of MoS₂. Furthermore, it was demonstrated for the first time that metal chalcogenides such as MoS₂ readily disperse in molten sulfur which enabled the facile preparation of the composite materials in situ. The composites were prepared by first dispersing MoS₂ in liquid sulfur or a solution of liquid sulfur and DIB below the floor temperature of S₈ (i.e.<160 °C). The dispersions were then heated above the floor temperature of S₈ to induce ring opening polymerization of the sulfur phase and afford the composites. The composites were found to be potent active cathode materials in Li-S batteries enabling extended cycle lifetimes of up to 1000 cycles with excellent capacity retention. Furthermore, the composite materials were successful in enhancing the rate capability of the Li-S cathodes where reversible capacity of >500 mAh/g was achieved at the rapid rate of 5C (i.e. a 12 min. charge or discharge time).
