Thermal expansion anomalies of R(Fe, M)(12) (R=Y, Nd; M=Mo and Si)
No full textStructural and thermal-expansion anomaly studies on R(Fe,M)(12) (R=Nd and and Y, M=Mo and Si) compounds were performed by x-ray diffraction. Mo atoms occupy the 8i site. While Si atoms occupy the 8f and 8j sites but not the 8i site. Thermal-expansion anomaly shows only in ab plane in the Mo compounds, while becomes very weak and along with only the c axis in the Si compounds. The anomaly was attributed to the contribution of the interactions of short Fe-Fe distances similar to the previous explanation on other R-Fe intermetallics and that of other strongly positive interactions such as 8j-8j.

Emotional abuse in sport: A case study of trichotillomania in a prepubescent female gymnast

In elite sport ‘suffering’ is not uncommon and hence sometimes child abuse is sometimes unrecognised, de-emphasised or easily dismissed as part of a collective experience that is perceived to be necessary to ‘create’ elite athletes. However, even swearing, anger, raised voices and negative comments directed at child athletes by coaches is considered abuse and can, when regular and routine, cause long term wellbeing and health issues. Self-harm can be a consequence and here self-harm in the form of trichotillomania, self hair-pulling, is reported for the first time as a secondary consequence of abuse. The 12 year old female gymnast, subject of this case study, presented with this impulse control disorder as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and was successfully treated using cognitive behavioural therapy. However, the training environment, including coach behaviour, did not change and so the gymnast remained at risk of recurrence of self-harm. Such environments in sport have many characteristics in common with and reminiscent of religious cults; sacrifice, isolation, shared obsession, a charismatic leader, and often in the presence of severe calorie restriction. As a consequence of ageing, growth, injury and an unchanging abusive environment, a year later the gymnast retired from the sport

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
Transition metal hydrides as reagents in organic and organometallic synthesis
No full textTypescript (photocopy).The group 6 anionic transition metal hydrides, HM(CO)4L- (M = Cr, W; L = CO, P(OMe)3 were found to be convenient reagents in organic and organometallic synthesis. These reagents offer the advantages of high selectivity, relative ease of preparation, and the potential for catalytic activity through regeneration using inexpensive reagents. These hydrides were found to reduce carbonyl functionalities within organic substrates, such as aldehydes, as well as carbonyls attached to metal centers. The reduction of acyl and alkyl substrates was also possible. Reduction of alkyl and acyl halides was easily achieved with high selectivity. When the alkyl or acyl moiety was attached to a metal center, reaction with the group 6 hydrides eliminated the organic product through a binuclear reductive elimination pathway. The formation of a heterobimetallic bridging hydride intermediate was observed in some of these reactions. Addition of an activated olefin, such as acrylonitrile, to selected anionic transition metal hydrides and alkyls resulted in formation of the alkyl addition product. Olefin addition could also occur to the heterobimetallic hydride, HFeW(CO)9-. Addition of a metal-bound olefin, (CH2=CHCN)Fe(CO)4, to the group 6 hydrides also resulted in formation of a metal alkyl. However, in this case a heterobimetallic product resulted due to a M-M' adduct reaction concomitant to the hydride transfer. Elemental sulfur was also found to be an active substrate for hydride addition. Reaction of S8 with selected anionic hydrides and alkyls resulted in the formation of the addition product, RSM(CO)n-. Reactivity differences were noted in systems employing one metal center vs. systems employing two metal centers. A measure of the effect of the second metal center could be achieved by comparison of a similar monomeric and dimeric system. The reactivites of MeFe(CO)4- and MeFe(CO)4W(CO)5- were tested as a gauge for this effect. As well as exhibiting successful H- (two-electron) transfer behavior, the anionic metal hydrides could function as efficient one-electron transfer reagents. Addition of two equivalents of hydride to a series of metal carbonyl dimers, M2(CO)[n]L[m], resulted in dimer disruption yielding the metal carbonyl anions
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
