Butō-fu. Obraz w umyśle, obraz w ciele
Full text linkCharakterystyczna dla japońskiego butō technika – wcielanie obrazu – ma wiele wariantów. Techniki wykorzystywane w treningu butō są narzędziem służącym własnej przemianie i jej katalizatorem. Reakcje ideokinetyczne i ideodynamiczne mogą stanowić bazę fundamentalnej dla butō metody, której narzędziem są tzw. butō-fu, „notacje butō”. Praca z butō-fu jest spokrewniona nie tylko z zenistyczną metodą pracy z koanem, ale również z popularną w świecie zachodnim w XX wieku ideokinetyką, zreinterpretowaną i rozpropagowaną jako technika treningowa tancerzy w latach 90. przez Erica Franklina.Magdalena Zamorsk

Pharmacoeconomic analysis of adjuvant oral capecitabine vs intravenous 5-FU/LV in Dukes' C colon cancer: the X-ACT trial
Full text linkOral capecitabine (Xeloda<sup>®</sup>) is an effective drug with favourable safety in adjuvant and metastatic colorectal cancer. Oxaliplatin-based therapy is becoming standard for Dukes' C colon cancer in patients suitable for combination therapy, but is not yet approved by the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the adjuvant setting. Adjuvant capecitabine is at least as effective as 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV), with significant superiority in relapse-free survival and a trend towards improved disease-free and overall survival. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of adjuvant capecitabine from payer (UK National Health Service (NHS)) and societal perspectives. We used clinical trial data and published sources to estimate incremental direct and societal costs and gains in quality-adjusted life months (QALMs). Acquisition costs were higher for capecitabine than 5-FU/LV, but higher 5-FU/LV administration costs resulted in 57% lower chemotherapy costs for capecitabine. Capecitabine vs 5-FU/LV-associated adverse events required fewer medications and hospitalisations (cost savings £3653). Societal costs, including patient travel/time costs, were reduced by >75% with capecitabine vs 5-FU/LV (cost savings £1318), with lifetime gain in QALMs of 9 months. Medical resource utilisation is significantly decreased with capecitabine vs 5-FU/LV, with cost savings to the NHS and society. Capecitabine is also projected to increase life expectancy vs 5-FU/LV. Cost savings and better outcomes make capecitabine a preferred adjuvant therapy for Dukes' C colon cancer. This pharmacoeconomic analysis strongly supports replacing 5-FU/LV with capecitabine in the adjuvant treatment of colon cancer in the UK

Practical application of on-line partial discharge monitoring technique on 500kV shunt reactor
No full textConsidering the damage mechanism of oil-impregnated paper insulation in power transformers, shunt reactors and other high voltage electrical apparatus caused by partial discharge, a concept of “destructive partial discharge” is introduced in this paper. The intensity of this discharge is regarded as several thousands pico-coulomb (pC) and may cause the insulation a fatal damage. An oil-paper insulation is usually able to withstand this type of partial discharge for a period of time prior to failure. This provides engineers a time window to detect it. This paper describes an on-line partial discharge monitoring system for 500kV shunt reactors. The commission results from 3 single-phase shunt reactors either connected or disconnected to the grid showed that the on-line partial discharge detecting system has a high noise immunising ability. Two years later after the installation, a pre-warning signal was received from one shunt reactor indicating the existence of an intermittent discharge. The acoustic emission system located its position at the low end of the high voltage bushing in the oil. Dissolved gasses analysis (DGA) in the oil suggested the presence of partial discharge, as acetylene (C2H2) was as high as 20ppm. PD activity was further confirmed by a physical examination on the reactor

High thermal conductance across c-BN/diamond interface
No full textHigh thermal conductivity electronic components with low interfacial thermal resistance are of technological importance and fundamental interest of research. Diamond, a superhard material with ultrahigh thermal conductivity at room temperature, is desirable for microelectronics thermal management. Cubic polymorph of boron nitride (c-BN) is a promising material due to wide bandgap and diamond like structure and properties. To understand the nature in thermal transport of diamond, c-BN and the most commonly used silicon (Si) semiconductor, ab initio phonon Boltzmann transport equations are employed to investigate lattice vibrational properties of these three materials. At 300 K, the predicted thermal conductivity of Si, diamond and c-BN reached 142, 2112, and 736 W/(m·K), respectively. What's more, heat transport phenomena across the interfaces of Si/diamond, c-BN/diamond and Si/c-BN are unfolded. In comparison, the interfacial thermal conductance of c-BN/diamond is ten-fold of Si/diamond; besides, the thermal conductance across Si/c-BN interface is 20.2% larger than that of Si/diamond at 300 K and 18.9% larger at 340 K. These findings provide us new vision and potential solution to heat dissipation of high-local-power density devices, shedding light on future thermal management of c-BN and diamond related electronics.Peer reviewe
