The Role of Non-Genetic Change in the Heritability, Variation and Response to Selection of Artificially Selected Ecosystems
No full textA response to selection on the level of the ecosystem has been demonstrated in artificial selection experiments, and poses interesting challenges to concepts of heritability, variation and phenotype in biological systems. We use ecosystems modeled as Lotka-Volterra competition systems, and subject to an ecosystem-level selection process, to illustrate and discuss the potential, and possible mechanisms, for ecosystem-level evolution without genetic change of the component species. A limited positive response to selection is demonstrated by the selection of alternative stable ecosystem states
Compacted oxide layer formation under conditions of limited debris retention at the wear interface during high temperature sliding wear of superalloys
No full textFor many applications, including power generation, aerospace and the automobile industry, high temperature wear provides serious difficulties where two or more surfaces are able to move relative to one another. It is increasingly the case that with for example, aerospace applications, demands for ever more powerful and efficient engines that thus operate at higher temperatures, conventional lubrication is no longer sufficient to prevent direct contact between metallic surfaces and consequent accelerated wear. One phenomenon that has been observed to reduce metallic contact and thus high temperature wear and friction is the formation of what are termed ‘glazes’, essentially layers of compacted oxide wear debris that becomes sintered together to form a low friction wear resistant oxide surface. This thesis studies the nature of the wear encountered with four different combinations of Superalloys, slid together using a ‘block-on-cylinder’ configuration developed for accelerated simulation testing of car engine ‘valve-on-valve-seat’ wear. Predominantly, Nimonic 80A and Incoloy MA956 were used as sample materials and Stellite 6 and Incoloy 800HT were used as counterface materials
Gulf War Illness And Injuries
No full textAN ABSTRACT OF THE RESEARCH PAPER OF
DIANNA S. INMAN, for the Master of Science degree in REHABILITATION COUNSELOR, presented on May 2011, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
TITLE: GULF WAR ILLNESS AND INJURIES
MAJOR PROFESSOR: D. Shane Koch, Ph D., CRC
The Persian Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq Enduring Freedom are wars
our United States troops have been involved in the Middle East. The goal of
this research paper is to present and discuss the injuries and illness some of our
soldiers are experiencing in their tour of duty in the Middle East. I will focus on three
conditions some of our veterans are suffering from, Gulf War Illness(GWI), Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Diagnosis and
treatment of PTSD, TBI, and GWI will be discussed
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Recent advances in acid-free dissolution and separation of rare earth elements from the magnet waste
No full textThe availability of REEs is limiting the successful deployment of some environmentally friendly and energy-efficient technologies. In 2019, the U.S. generated more than 15.25 billion pounds of e-waste. Only ~15% of it was handled, leaving ~13 billion pounds of e-waste as potential pollutants. Of the 15% collected, the lack of robust technology limited REE recovery for re-use. Key factors that drive the recycling of permanent magnets based on rare earth elements (REEs) and the results of our research on magnet recycling will be discussed, with emphasis on neodymium and samarium-based rare earth permanent magnets.This article is published as Grace Inman, Denis Prodius, Ikenna C. Nlebedim. Recent advances in acid-free dissolution and separation of rare earth elements from the magnet waste. Clean Technologies and Recycling, 2021, 1(2): 112-123.
