Optimization of steel plate planning for keppel FELS
No full textKeppel FELS is one of the world leaders in offshore unit production and services. And steel plates are the most critical materials to Keppel FELS as their availability will determine the on-time completion and delivery of finished products which normally cost millions of dollars and customers cannot afford a delay while these critical pieces are being built or repaired and stop generating profits.Master of Science (IMST
What Is a Trade?: Donald Fels and Signboard Painters of South India
No full textWhat Is a Trade? Donald Fels and Signboard Painters of South India presents sixteen large-scale paintings that explore trade and globalization in India. Fels\u27 conceptual starting point for this exhibition was Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama\u27s 1498 voyage to Malabar, India, in search of a direct sea route for the spice trade. What is a Trade? explores the historic and modern-day legacy of that expedition more than 500 years later. In 2004 and 2005, Fels traveled to Kerala (formerly Malabar), India, as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar, to work with local commercial signboard painters on a body of work that examines globalization in India and traces its roots to Vasco\u27s voyage. Most of the signboard painters had formerly worked as billboard painters -- until recently, all billboards in India were hand-painted, but cheaper and more efficient inkjet printers are making the painters obsolete. In light of this trend, Fels and his collaborators created work in the style of traditional hand-painted billboards and Bollywood advertising. The bright colors and strong graphic narratives make visually arresting statements about the historic and contemporary effects of trade and globalization.

Teoría cognitiva y construcción textual del poema patrones rítmicos y representación semántica
No full textEste trabajo tiene como finalidad plantear y ejemplificar las relaciones entre imagen y enunciado –por una parte–, y –por otra parte– entre ritmo y significación. Para ello, me voy a servir de un método semiótico, al asumir aspectos referentes a la creación y recepción del texto poético. La propuesta metodológica es transdisciplinar, puesto que, entre otras propuestas teórico-críticas, asumo elementos tomados de la Ciencia cognitiva (antropología o lingüística), la poética generativa, las formulaciones formal-estructuralistas, etc. Con ello se pretende dotar de un evidente fundamento científico a este estudio, para alcanzar unas conclusiones justificadas y verosímiles.This work aims to raise and exemplify the relationships between image and statement - on the one hand and between rhythm and meaning, on the other. To do this, I use a semiotic method, assuming aspects related to the creation and reception of the poetic text. The methodological proposal is transdisciplinary, since, among other theoretical-critical proposals, I assume elements taken from cognitive science (anthropology or linguistics), generative poetics, formal-structuralist formulations, and other disciplines. The aim is to provide this study with an obvious scientific basis in order to reach justified and credible conclusions.Federación Latinoamericana de Semiótica ( FELS )Depto. de Lengua Española y Teoría de la LiteraturaFac. de FilologíaTRUEpu
Mutagenic response of Ames strains cured of their inducible Fels 1 and Fels 2 prophages
No full textAmes strain TA100 was cured of its Fels 1 and Fels 2 prophages to yield the corresponding nonlysogenic derivative designated TAQ100. The two monolysogenic strains corresponding to TA100 lysogenic for Fels 1 (TAQ100F1) and for Fels 2 (TAQ100F2) were also isolated. In addition, the equivalent strains lacking pKM101 and designated TAQ1535, TAQ1535F1, and TAQ1535F2 were obtained. Ames strains TA98 and TA1538 are lysogenic for Fels 2 and were observed by colony hybridization to contain cryptic Fels 1 DNA sequences. Strains corresponding to TA98 and TA1538 cured of Fels 2 were isolated and designated TAQ98F1d and TAQ1538F1d, respectively. Fels 1 grew poorly on Fels 1-cured strains, and Fels 2 grew not at all on Fels 2-cured strains. The cured strains had therefore to be identified as such by their failure to react in colony hybridization with 32P-labeled probes of Fels 1 and/or Fels 2 DNA. The specificity of the labeled probes was confirmed with the aid of the nonlysogenic Salmonella typhimurium strain Q1 and its two monolysogenic derivatives Q1 (Fels 1) and Q1 (Fels 2). The cured strains were found to respond in the same manner as did the standard Ames strains to a variety of well-known mutagens, including aflatoxin B1, 7, 12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, daunorubicin, 2-amino-dipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole, and beta-naphthylamine. Also, mitomycin C, bleomycin, and diethylstilbestrol were nonmutagenic to TAQ100 and TAQ98F1d as they are to TA100 and TA98. Since the Fels prophages are inducible by aflatoxin B1, by daunorubicin, and by other agents, it seems that mutagenesis and Fels prophage induction occur in separate subpopulations of cells; this situation had previously been reported to occur for mutagenesis and prophage lambda induction in Escherichia coli. In any case, the Fels prophages appear to have no major influence on the mutagenic response of the Ames strains
Curing and induction of the Fels 1 and Fels 2 prophages in the Ames mutagen tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium
No full textA method is described for curing the Ames Salmonella mutagen tester strains of their Fels 1 and Fels 2 prophages with the aid of the antitumor drug daunorubicin. Non-lysogenic derivatives corresponding to TA100 and TA1535 were isolated and designated TAQ100 and TAQ1535 respectively. In addition, the Fels 1 monolysogens TAQ100F1 and TAQ1535F1, as well as the Fels 2 monolysogens TAQ100F2 and TAQ1535F2, were obtained. Finally, strains corresponding to TA98 and TA1538 cured of Fels 2, but retaining a cryptic Fels 1 (F1d) prophage were isolated and designated TAQ98F1d and TAQ1538F1d respectively. The various cured derivatives were identified by colony hybridization with 32P-labeled probes of Fels 1 and Fels 2 DNA. Southern blot hybridizations confirmed that phage-specific Fels DNA sequences were missing from the cured strains. The Fels 2-cured strains were resistant to Fels 2, but Fels 1 grew, albeit poorly, on the Fels 1-cured strains. Strains TAQ100F1, TAQ1535F1, TAQ100F2 and TAQ1535F2 were used in prophage induction assays, in the presence of rat-liver extract where necessary. Daunorubicin, bleomycin, mitomycin C, aflatoxin B1, 2-amino-dipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole (Glu-P-2) were found to induce Fels 1 and/or Fels 2 in at least one of these strains. The induction of the Fels prophages in the TAQ monolysogens may provide a useful complement to the Ames test for the detection of DNA-damaging agents and potential carcinogens
Modelling epidemiological and economic consequences of bovine respiratory disease in dairy heifers
No full textBovine respiratory disease (BRD) is an important health problem in dairy heifers. BRD causes considerable losses, particularly on farms that experience high levels of the disease. However, an exact quantification of the economic losses due to BRD was not available yet. Despite this lack of economic insight, dairy farmers have to make decisions with regard to prevention of the disease. To make these decisions as economically sound as possible, more accurate insight is necessary into the economic consequences of BRD on the individual dairy farm.The main objective of the research project described in this thesis was to obtain insight into the on-farm economic consequences of BRD in dairy heifers by means of a PC-based simulation model. The second objective was to collect information on the epidemiological consequences of the disease indispensable for model input.The research started with a literature review aimed at obtaining the necessary qualitative and quantitative information on both the effects of BRD on the productivity of dairy heifers and risk factors of the disease. Because relevant literature turned out to be scarce, a formal expert judgement study was held to obtain additional data on the(se) variables of interest.As a next step, a simulation model was developed that calculates the economic losses due to BRD in dairy heifers for individual dairy farm conditions in the Netherlands. Following the results of the expert judgement study, the model distinguishes between two BRD types, being calf pneumonia and a seasonal BRD outbreak.Model calculations showed that for most dairy farms in the Netherlands the economic losses due to BRD will be relatively small: around 1 % of the farm's net return to labour and management for average situations, increasing up to 3-4 % at worst. For individual farms that experience high levels of BRD, the associated losses can be as high as 10-15 % of the farm's net return to labour and management, up to 25 % for large farms. Besides for calculation of the economic losses due to BRD, the model showed also to be useful for evaluation of the on-farm cost-effectiveness of prevention of the disease. Moreover, the model is flexible and user-friendly, hence, can be used as a tool to support decision-making in dairy practice.</p
Time-resolved studies with FELs
No full textIntense femtosecond VUV, XUV, and X-ray pulses from free-electron lasers (FELs) enable time-resolved experiments studying ultrafast dynamics in a large variety of systems relevant, e.g., to physics, chemistry, biology, and material sciences. In this paper, we focus on time-resolved studies of gas-phase molecules, which lie at the crossroad between atomic, molecular and optical physics and ultrafast photochemistry. We describe the current status of the field and discuss typical experimental configurations used for pump-probe experiments with FELs. We illustrate them with three recent examples for such experiments performed at the FLASH and LCLS FELs studying charge transfer following XUV and X-ray photoabsorption as well as photoelectron diffraction from aligned molecules. We conclude with a short outlook on future developments and perspectives for femtosecond pump-probe experiments with FELs
