Abstract:
We formulate and study a quantum field theory of a microtubule, a basic element of living cells. Following the quantum theory of consciousness by Hameroff and Penrose, we let the system to reduce to one of the classical states without measurement if certain conditions are satisfied (self-reductions), and calculate the self-reduction time τN (the mean interval between two successive self-reductions) of a cluster consisting of more than N neighboring tubulins (basic units composing a microtubule). τN is interpreted there as an instance of the stream of consciousness. We analyze the dependence of τN upon N and the initial conditions, etc. For relatively large electron hopping amplitude, τN obeys a power law τN ~ Nb, which can be explained by the percolation theory. For sufficiently small values of the electron hopping amplitude, τN obeys an exponential law, τN ~ exp (c'N). By using this law, we estimate the condition for τN to take realistic values τN ≳ 10-1 sec as N ≳ 1000.

Abstract:
This thesis presents and develops a theory of self-reduction. This process is used to map instances of combinatorial optimisation problems onto smaller, more easily solvable instances in such a way that a solution of the former can be readily re-constructed, without loss of information or quality, from a solution of the latter. Self-reduction rules are surveyed for the Graph Colouring Problem, the Maximum Clique Problem, the Steiner Problem in Graphs, the Bin Packing Problem and the Set Covering Problem. This thesis introduces the problem of determining the maximum sequence of self-reductions on a given structure, and shows how the theory of confluence can be adapted from term re-writing to solve this problem by identifying rule sets for which all maximal reduction sequences are equivalent. Such confluence results are given for a number of reduction rules on problems on discrete systems. In contrast, NP-hardness results are also presented for some reduction rules. A probabilistic analysis of self-reductions on graphs is performed, showing that the expected number of self-reductions on a graph tends to zero as the order of the graph tends to infinity. An empirical study is performed comparing the performance of self-reduction, graph decomposition and direct methods of solving the Graph Colouring and Set Covering Problems. The results show that self-reduction is a potentially valuable, but sometimes erratic, method of finding exact solutions to combinatorial problems.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
O presente trabalho, apresenta uma análise do impacto das variáveis, temperatura, tipo de atmosfera e composição dos materiais ferrosos e carbonosos, sobre a cinética da auto- redução, em dois tipos de briquetes auto-redutores, na faixa de temperatura de 1000 à 1300 graus Celsius. É apresentado um breve histórico da ciência de redução dos óxidos de ferro, além das características relevantes dos principais processos de auto-redução e uma análise dos principais trabalhos correlatos disponíveis na literatura, procurando evidenciar os aspectos termodinâmicos e cinéticos destes estudos. São discutidos detalhes do aparato disponível, o procedimento experimental, a caracterização das amostras, e os resultados obtidos. A partir da análise dos resultados, foi determinando a energia de ativação aparente (E0) igual à 177,10 kJ/mol e o fator de freqüência pré-exponencial da equação de Arrehnius (Constante da taxa 0) igual à 0,97x10-3 s-1. Foi observado que aumentos na temperatura de teste, diminuição na vazão de N2 e uso de atmosfera de CO, melhoraram significativamente a cinética de redução dos briquetes auto- redutores, aumentando os graus de conversão obtidos. Os resultados confirmaram que a reação de Boudouard se apresenta como a etapa controladora do processo até 1200 graus Celsius C, quando o controle passa a ser misto, sofrendo também a influência da reação química de redução dos óxidos de ferro. A importância destes resultados e observações experimentais para o desenvolvimento e projeto dos processos emergentes de auto-redução são destacados.
The present work, analyzes the impact of the key variables, temperature, reduction atmosphere and composition of the ferrous and carbonaceous materials, on the kinetics of self- reducing briquettes, for two types of samples, over the temperature range 1000 - 1300 Celsius Degree. A brief history of the ironmaking science is presented, covering the most relevant features of the main self-reduction processes and a survey of the main published researches on the same subject relating to thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. The experimental procedure, details of the apparatus used, the experimental parameters, characterization of the samples and the results are described. Based on the results obtained, the kinetic parameters were evaluated determining the apparent activation energy (E0) as 177,10 kJ/mol and the pre-exponential frequency factor of the Arrehnius equation (ê0) as 0,97x10-3 s-1. It is observed that, increasing the temperature, decreasing the inert gas flow (N2) and using CO atmosphere, improves significantly the kinetics of reduction of self-reducing briquettes, raising the rate of iron oxide reduction. The results confirm that the Boudouard reaction is the rate limiting step of the overall reaction, up to 1200 Celsius Degree, when a mixed control starts, where the influence of the iron oxides reduction shall be also considered. The significance of this experimental results and observations to the design and the development of an innovative self-reduction smelting process are highlighted.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
O presente trabalho consiste de um modelo matemático termoquímico de simulação do processo Tecnored de produção de ferro primário, construído através do estudo e equacionamento da fenomenologia do processo, levando em consideração os aspectos termodinâmicos e operacionais, bem como a geometria do reator. Apesar de ser um modelo estático, considerações cinéticas de laboratório e de planta piloto foram usadas para estimar a extensão das principais reações químicas nas diferentes regiões do forno. Para construção do modelo o reator foi dividido em três zonas, a saber: cuba superior, zona de amolecimento e fusão, e cuba inferior. Para cada uma das zonas foram descritas as fenomenologias e reações químicas envolvidas, condicionadas ao balanço global das espécies químicas presentes no processo. As saídas do programa permitiram uma análise da engenharia de processo global e estagiada. Através do modelo construído é possível prever o comportamento do processo com diferentes tipos de matériasprimas e em diferentes condições operacionais. Adicionalmente, o modelo servirá para a checagem da operação do primeiro forno industrial desta tecnologia, atualmente em construção, comparando com os dados obtidos através da operação da planta piloto. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a técnica de modelagem utilizada constitui-se em uma poderosa ferramenta de análise global e estagiada, confirmando as vantagens de consumo de combustível, eficiência energética e de geração de gases do processo Tecnored em relação à tecnologia tradicional do alto-forno.
The present work consists of a Tecnored ironmaking process oriented thermo-chemical modeling, built after a thorough assessment of the process phenomena and considering besides the peculiarities of the reactor, a number of applicable thermodynamic and operational aspects. In spite of being a thermochemical model, bench scale and pilot plant based kinetics considerations have been taken in account in order to estimate the extension of the main reactions in different parts of the furnace. The framework involved the division of the furnace in three main zones, namely Solid-state Reduction Zone (SRZ), Softening and Melting Zone (SMZ) and Dripping and Hearth Zone (DHZ). In each of the zones the existing chemical processes and overall process phenomena have been evaluated conditional to the global mass balance ruling the process. The model developed shall be used onwards to predict the behavior of the process under different conditions of raw material usage and operational modes. Moreover, the model shall be applied to compare the results of the industrial plant (under construction) with the available bench and pilot plant data, with the intention of gathering information to be used in the optimization of the model and subsequently the process. The results obtained thus far show that the applied modeling technique is a powerful tool for the global and stage-wise analysis of the process, confirming the advantageous performance of the technology as far as fuel-rate, thermal efficiency and environmental soundness are concerned.

Abstract:
This is a post-test only experimental design using an uncertainty reduction video to alleviate patient uncertainty, desire for information and increase self-concept to improve overall patient satisfaction with health care experience. The subjects were 80 cardiac consultation patients in a cardiology clinic in Northern California. Forty people were randomly assigned to a control group and forty people to the experimental group. A scale was given to each group which measured the patients' level of self-concept, level of uncertainties (medical setting, relational and illness), and desire for information. The experimental group received an uncertainty reduction video prior to filling out the questionnaire. The uncertainty reduction video was designed to debrief the patient on subjects that may be causing uncertainty for the patient. In conclusion, this study found that the uncertainty reduction video significantly reduced the patient's level of medical setting uncertainty. The study showed a relationship between medical setting uncertainty and relational uncertainty and a relationship between relational uncertainty and illness uncertainty. The study also indicated that patients have high levels of uncertainties in all uncertainty areas: illness, relational, and medical setting, and high a desire for information. However, the video did not show an ability to reduce a patient's level of relational or illness uncertainty. The study also did not show a relationship between self-concept and level of uncertainty and desire for information. Future areas of research suggest that for a similar study a series of illness specific videotapes may be more beneficial at reducing illness uncertainty. The patient's level of previous knowledge, its source, depth and credibility was also suggested for future research. Another area suggested for future research would be the correlation between uncertainties and anxieties.

Abstract:
CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO
Neste trabalho, foram feitas experiências de redução em temperaturas na faixa de 900°C a 1300°C, usando briquetes auto-redutores contendo óxidos de manganês e carvão vegetal, visando investigar o processo de redução de MnO2 para MnO. É apresentado um panorama geral do manganês, indicando os principais produtos, entre eles, o MnO para uso agropecuário e a liga FeMn, insumo siderúrgico e evidenciando os aspectos termodinâmicos e cinéticos no processamento para a obtenção destes produtos. Cabe assinalar que o MnO é um produto intermediário no processo de fabricação da liga ferro-manganês. Mostram-se também detalhes do procedimento experimental, caracterização dos materiais utilizados e as discussões sobre os resultados obtidos. Na determinação das conversões de MnO foi utilizado o método de análise química de titulação por complexometría com EDTA. A partir dos resultados experimentais foi proposto um modelo para determinação dos parâmetros cinéticos. Pelos resultados da redução de Mn+4 para Mn+2, foi possível distinguir dois estágios nas temperaturas ensaiadas. O primeiro estágio foi marcado por altas velocidades de reação, a até aproximadamente 10 minutos de experimentação, alcançando conversões elevadas de MnO; como foi o caso dos ensaios nas temperaturas de 1000°C e 1200°C, que já indicavam em 10 minutos valores de conversões iguais a 0.94. Já para o segundo estágio, após os 10 minutos iniciais de experimentação, as velocidades e os valores da conversão apresentaram uma queda, sugerindo que o produto do primeiro estágio, o MnO, poderia estar começando a se transformar em outra substancia ( provavelmente o Mn3C ). Por não ser objetivo desta dissertação determinar a natureza da citada transformação, apenas a evidência de sua ocorrência foi aqui explicitada, ficando os estudos mais detalhados para outro trabalho. O modelo cinético concluiu que o processo se passava essencialmente em duas etapas : uma para tempos curtos e outra para tempos longos, sendo o tempo de experimentação em torno de 10 minutos a fronteira destas etapas . O valor da energia de ativação para a etapa em tempos menores, ou seja, inferiores a 10 minutos, foi, nas temperaturas estudadas, 1000, 1100, 1150 e 1200°C, de 11,50 KJ/mol e o fator de freqüência pré-exponencial 0,057 mHz, sugerindo um controle difusional.. Já para os tempos maiores que 10 minutos, os experimentos nas temperaturas de 900, 1000, 1100, 1150, 1200 e 1300°C, muito embora não se tenha pesquisado a natureza do novo composto ( possivelmente o carboneto de manganês ), forneceu para a energia de ativação o valor de 46,10 KJ/mol e para o fator de freqüência pré-exponencial 48,045 Hz, sugerindo, em conseqüência, um mecanismo predominantemente misto, ou seja, equilibradamente difusional e químico.
In this work, aiming at the investigation on the reduction process of manganese dioxide to manganese oxide, experiments were made using selfreducing briquettes containing manganese oxides and charcoal, at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1300oC. A general overview of the manganese is presented, indicating its principal products such as, the farming usage of MnO and the steelmaking application of the FeMn alloys, also emphasizing the thermodynamical and kinectical aspects of their productions. It is worthwhile to emphasize that MnO is an intermediary product in the production of the FeMn alloy. Experimental details concerning materials characterization and discussion on the obtained results, are also presented. In the determination of the MnO conversion the complexometric titration with EDTA chemical procedure was applied. From these determinations a model was proposed for the calculation of the kinectic parameters. The experimental results of reduction, from Mn+4 towards Mn+2 , it was possible to identify two stages for the reactions in the temperature range from 900 to 1300 C. An onset stage was marked by high reaction rates, lasting for the first 10 minutes, achieving high MnO conversions. In the experiments carried out in the range of 1000 to 1200oC, for instance, a 0,94 conversion was attained within just 10 minutes. As for the second stage, beginning after 10 minutes, the conversion showed a decrease, suggesting that the product of the first stage, the MnO, could be suffering a transformation, generating an other substance - probably Mn3C. Being this a new process, out of the scope of this work, its elucidation is left here as a suggestion for later works. Wrapping up the kinetic model, a time frontier between the two processes, around 10 minutes, was considered . Below this limit, i.e., in the temperatures - 1000, 1100, 1150 and 1200oC -, the process exhibited an apparent activation energy of 11.50 kJ x mol -1 and a pre-exponential frequency factor of 57 µHz, inferring a diffusion control. As for times beyond 10 minutes, in experiments at 900, 1000, 1100, 1150, 1200 e 1300°C, though the nature of a new compound was not probed - possibly a manganese carbide - it was possible to measure a new apparent activation energy, 46.10 kJ x mol -1 , with a pre- exponential frequency factor of 48 Hz, values coherent with a mixed control, i.e., between the diffusional and the chemical mechanisms.

Abstract:
This paper describes the specific poverty reduction practices applied in Hunan Province, People’s Republic of China. Government-subsidized programs are aimed at elderly living in poverty, people with disabilities, and migrant workers and their left-behind children. They reduce poverty mainly by building a support system for living, housing, medical care, old-age care, education, and employment. Tailored financial support are also intended for natural resources of poverty-stricken areas to be used in developing industries and forming self-development capabilities to eradicate poverty, including through industrial development, employment, and financial tool utilization.

Small Degenerated Surgical Bioprosthetic Valve should be Treated with SupraAnnular Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. Science Repository, December 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31487/j.jicoa.2021.04.02.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Patient-prothesis mismatch (PPM) is a serious potential complication following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). If it develops, valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a reasonable therapeutic option. However, there is low evidence on the management of small degenerated surgical bioprosthetic valves, not prone to balloon-valve fracture (BVF). Case Presentation: This case report presents a successful valve-in-valve TAVR in acute heart failure due to degenerative surgical bioprosthetic valve Trifecta (21 mm) that is not susceptible to BVF. Standard preparation for transfemoral TAVR with a self-expandable valve was conducted, including the over-the-wire pacing. Thereafter, a successful valve-in-valve primary implantation of the self-expanding, supra-annular valve Evolut R 26 (Medtronic™) has been achieved. Follow-up at 3 months showed mild paravalvular leak in the region with clinical and heart function improvements of the patient. Follow-up echocardiographic parameters showed the reduction of anterograde flow impairment and improved effective orifice area (~0.85 cm2/m2). Conclusion: In conclusion, supra-annular valve-in-valve TAVR is a potential therapeutic option for PPM of small degenerated surgical bioprosthetic valves which are not prone to BVF.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review examines evidence on indices to capture vulnerability for development finance in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). A key issue when it comes to aid allocation to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is whether current measures of development – such as income per capita - are truly able to reflect the unique set of challenges that these countries face. Inability to accurately measure development in SIDS can lead to substantial risk. On the one hand, aid allocation that solely relies on income levels may result in an unsustainable reduction in external support to SIDS, leaving them to face high levels of economic, environmental, and social vulnerability. On the other hand, an inadequate measure of vulnerability can lead to no clear pathway to the reduction in aid, making it very improbable for SIDS to become self-reliant, no matter how far they develop or climb the income ladder. This aim of this paper is twofold. The first is to look at whether vulnerability indices can help determine the levels of external support SIDS need. The second is to consider how this can help in determining when support can be reduced or terminated. This is achieved by considering the different indices that international organisations and multilateral development banks use to capture the vulnerability of SIDS, how they use these indices to determine thresholds for aid allocation, and the advantages and disadvantages of applying each.

Abstract:
While many studies have addressed the successes and challenges of participatory action research, few have documented how community campus engagement (CCE) works and how partnerships can be designed for strong community impact. This paper responds to increasing calls for ‘community first’ approaches to CCE. Our analysis draws on experiences and research from Community First: Impacts of Community Engagement (CFICE), a collaborative action research project that ran from 2012-2020 in Canada and aimed to better understand how community-campus partnerships might be designed and implemented to maximize the value for community-based organizations. As five of the project’s co-leads, we reflect on our experiences, drawing on research and practice in three of CFICE’s thematic hubs (food sovereignty, poverty reduction, and community environmental sustainability) to identify achievements and articulate preliminary lessons about how to build stronger and more meaningful relationships. We identify the need to: strive towards equitable and mutually beneficial partnerships; work with boundary spanners from both the academy and civil society to facilitate such relationships; be transparent and self-reflexive about power differentials; and look continuously for ways to mitigate inequities.

Full text
Abstract:
This study aimed to assess the impact of interacting with two infotainment systems, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, on four driver performance measures: reaction time, driving behaviour, eyes-off road and self-reported performance. It also compared the results with other forms of driver impairment studied previously. Twenty regular Android users took part in the Android Auto trial and 20 regular Apple users took part in the Apple CarPlay trial. Each participant completed three 20 minute drives in TRL’s DigiCar simulator: control (no interaction with infotainment system), voice enabled and touch enabled. The route was divided into sections and participants performed music, navigation, texting and calling tasks at specific times during the drive. Compared with the control drive, participants in both trials showed a reduction in average speed, increase in deviation of headway and larger deviation of lane position for most tasks; this effect was greater when using touch features than voice features. Eye gaze measures indicated that participants did not meet the NHTSA criteria for most of the tasks when using touch controls for both systems, but they met the criteria when using voice control. Self-reported data suggested that participants found interacting through touch to be more difficult and distracting than voice. Most critically, reaction time to a stimulus on the road ahead was significantly higher when selecting music through Spotify when using Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Participants also failed to react more to the stimulus on the road ahead when engaging with either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay compared with a control drive. Comparison with previous driver impairment studies showed that the increase in reaction time when interacting with either system using touch was higher than previously measured forms of impairment, including texting and hand-held calls.

Full text
Abstract:
Multiple jurisdictions have adopted or adapted paid sick leave policies to reduce the likelihood of employees infected with SARS-CoV-2 presenting to work, which can lead to the spread of infection in workplaces. During the COVID-19 pandemic, paid sick leave has been associated with an increased likelihood of workers staying at home when symptomatic. Paid sick leave can support essential workers in following public health measures. This includes paid time off for essential workers when they are sick, have been exposed, need to self-isolate, need time off to get tested, when it is their turn to get vaccinated, and when their workplace closes due to an outbreak. In the United States, the introduction of a temporary paid sick leave, resulted in an estimated 50% reduction in the number of COVID-19 cases per state per day. The existing Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) cannot financially protect essential workers in following all public health measures, places the administrative burden of applying for the benefit on essential workers, and neither provides sufficient, nor timely payments. Table 1 lists the characteristics of a model paid sick leave program as compared with the CRSB. Implementation of the model program should be done in a way that is easy to navigate and quick for employers.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper considers the role of philosophy and philosophical disciplines as the means of forming general cultural competences, in particular, in the development of critical thinking. The article emphasizes that the process of forming over-subject and soft skills, which, as a rule, include also critical thinking, gets much more complicated under the conditions of the reduction in the volume of philosophical courses. The paper grounds that one of the ways to “return” philosophy to educational programmes can be the implementation of training, using the e-learning environment, especially Moodle. In addition, authors point to the expediency of using this system and, in general, e-learning as an instrument for collaborating students to the world’s educational community and for developing their lifelong learning skills. The article specifies the features of providing electronic support in philosophy teaching, to which the following belongs: the difficulty of parametrizing the learning outcomes; plurality of approaches; communicative philosophy. The paper highlights the types of activities that can be implemented by tools of Moodle. The use of the following Moodle test tasks is considered as an example: test control in the flipped class, control of work with primary sources, control of self-study, test implementation of interim thematic control. The authors conclude that the Moodle system can be used as a tools of online support for the philosophy course, but it is impossible to transfer to the virtual space all the study of this discipline, because it has a significant worldview load. Forms of training, directly related to communication, are integral part of the methodology of teaching philosophy as philosophy itself is discursive, dialogical, communicative and pluralistic. Nevertheless, taking into account features of the discipline, it is possible to provide not only the evaluation function of the test control, but also to realize a number of educational functions: updating the basic knowledge, memorization, activating the cognitive interest, developing the ability to reason and the simpler ones but not less important, – the skill of getting information and familiarization with it.
