Spin relaxation of muonated radicals in the gas phase
No full textWe report on recent results obtained for longitudinal field (T 1) spin relaxation of the muonium-substituted (“muonated”) free radicals MuCO, MuC2F4, MuC2H3F, and MuC4H8 (t-butyl), comparing with results reported earlier for MuC2H4 (and MuC2D4). Some comparison with transverse field (T 2) data is also given. These data are fit to a phenomenological model based on NMR theory of spin relaxation in gases. The parameters of these fits are presented and discussed.Peer reviewedFinal article publishedSpin RelaxationThin FilmFree RadicalRecent ResultPhenomenological Mode

The depiction of women in the Spectator
No full textTypescript (photocopy).This dissertation analyzes the 635 Spectator papers to determine how they depict women and to see how this depiction compares with those of other contemporary authors. After a look at the historical and literary backgrounds of the depiction of women, the discussion turns to the more than eighty papers on marriage. Addison and Steele are strong believers in marriage, terming it the state of highest human felicity. And contrary to writers like Chesterfield, Addison and Steele believe that marriage offers both partners benefits and responsibilities. Other Spectator papers examine female fashion, admonishing women to put aside the excesses of cosmetics and dress. Finally, despite occasional moments of condescension, both authors reveal that they value women with able and refined minds. They nevertheless espouse the traditional view that a woman's primary roles are those of wife and mother
HATS-60b–HATS-69b: 10 Transiting Planets from HATSouth
No full textWe report the discovery of 10 transiting extrasolar planets by the HATSouth survey. The planets range in mass from the super-Neptune HATS-62b, with M-p < 0.179 M-J, to the super-Jupiter HATS-66b, with M-p = 5.33 M-J, and in size from the Saturn HATS-69b, with R-p = 0.94 R-J, to the inflated Jupiter HATS-67b, with R-p = 1.69 R-J. The planets have orbital periods between 1.6092 days (HATS-67b) and 7.8180 days (HATS-61b). The hosts are dwarf stars with masses ranging from 0.89 M-circle dot (HATS-69) to 1.56 M-circle dot (HATS-64) and have apparent magnitudes between V = 12.276 +/- 0.020 mag (HATS-68) and V = 14.095 +/- 0.030 mag (HATS-66). The super-Neptune HATS-62b is the least massive planet discovered to date with a radius larger than Jupiter. Based largely on the Gaia DR2 distances and broadband photometry, we identify three systems (HATS-62, HATS-64, and HATS-65) as having possible unresolved binary star companions. We discuss in detail our methods for incorporating the Gaia DR2 observations into our modeling of the system parameters and into our blend analysis procedures
Dietary mineral requirements of Penaeus vannamei : evaluation of the essentiality for thirteen minerals and the requirements for calcium, phosphorus, copper, iron, zinc, and selenium
No full textTypescript (photocopy).The dietary requirements for calcium, phosphorus, Ca:P ration, copper, iron, zinc and selenium as well as the effects of phytate on zinc bioavailability to juvenile P. vannamei were evaluated utilizing a casein/gelatin semi-purified diet. At the conclusion of a 33-day feeding trial a dietary requirement for calcium was not found; however, a significant interaction between calcium and phosphorus suggested that calcium decreased the bioavailability of phosphorus. In the absence of calcium supplementation, the basal diet containing 0.35% phosphorus was adequate to maintain normal growth and survival. In the presence of 1.0% and 2.0% supplemental calcium, the supplementation of 0.5 to 1.0% phosphorus and 1.0 and 2.0% phosphorus, respectively, was required to maintain normal growth. Shrimp fed diets supplemented with 3.0 and 4.0% calcium had reduced growth, regardless of phosphorus supplementation. At the conclusion of a 42-day feeding trial, a dietary copper requirement of 34 mg Cu/kg diet was determined. Dietary copper deficiency was characterized by poor growth and depressed copper concentrations in the hepatopancreas, carapace and hemolymph as well as enlargement of the heart. At the conclusion of the 35-day feeding trial, a dietary iron requirement was not demonstrated, indicating that the dietary iron requirement of shrimp was no higher than 12 mg Fe/kg which was present in the unsupplemented diet. This value is lower than requirement values reported for various fish species, and is presumably due to the presence of a copper-based respiratory pigment as opposed to an iron-based pigment. The lack of dietary zinc supplementation during a 35-day feeding trial did not affect growth and survival but depressed the zinc content of the hepatopancreas. Zinc concentrations of the hepatopancreas were maximized with the supplementation of 15 mg Zn/kg diet (33 mg total Zn/kg) or greater. The presence of phytate reduced the bioavailability of zinc and consequently zinc mineralization of the tissues. Thus, in the absence of phytate, shrimp feeds should contain 33 mg Zn/kg and in the presence of phytate approximately 200 mg Zn/kg diet. Supplementation of selenium resulted in a linear increase in weight gain during a 28-day feeding trial, indicating a dietary requirement of 0.2 to 0.4 mg Se/kg. Although, the dietary requirement for selenium was not confirmed in a second experiment, it appears to be similar to the requirements of fish (approximately 0.2 mg Se/kg diet)
“The 'Double' Nature of Art in Eighteenth-Century England. Pope, Addison, Hogarth”
No full textAs a significant number of critical and theoretical work concerning the long eighteenth century has recently shown, the transition from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century was marked by a number of huge cultural transformations. In such a fluid and controversial scenario aesthetic questions regarding inspiration and technique as well as the notions of authorship and literary criticism became more and more entangled in social and economic issues. Accordingly, all efforts at investigating the essence and scope of poetry were deeply imbued with a growing anxiety concerning class mobility and the new technologies of money manipulation.
The paper draws attention to three pivotal stages of that cultural milieu: Pope’s variegated production of Essays, Addison’s Pleasures of the Imagination, and Hogarth’s Analysis of Beauty.
In the exploratory and polyphonic structure of the Essay on Criticism and Essay on Man Pope’s urge to idealise the aesthetic experience by stressing the harmony of all things reaches its apex and is concomitant with the poet’s need to dissociate his authorial investment from the crowd of vulgar would-be authors, but in spite of all insistence on order and propriety as prerequisites embodied in Nature itself, a significant zone is still left open to doubt and equivocations.
In the numbers of the Spectator devoted to the imagination, Addison focuses on the absolute pre-eminence accorded to sight as the privileged vehicle of aesthetic experience, but equally noteworthy is the attention the essayist pays to the reciprocal emulation between Nature and Art, which issues in a radical ambiguity and the delighted hesitation of the eye of the mind between ‘copies or originals’.
A thorough, decisive attack against the Neoclassical theorization of Beauty is instead launched by the most eccentric painter / author of the age, William Hogarth. With its attention to the resourceful maps of the human body and to the hybrid topography of contemporary London, Hogarth’s Analysis traces a sort of ‘pedagogy of vision’ which ultimately seems to apply a sort of Swiftian, ‘anatomic’ lesson to the rigid, standard monuments of the dominant culture

Age determination of a temperate fjord in Alaska over the last 2,000 years
No full textMarine sediment core EW0408-33JC (57.162°N, 135.357°W, 146 m water depth) was recovered from Katlian Bay, a temperate fjord near Sitka, Alaska, in August 2004. EW0408-33JC is the jumbo piston core collected from the same site as EW0408-32MC, which was described in Addison et al. (2013, doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243). This data release describes the age control points for the most recent 2,000 years of EW0408-33JC, as established by a combination of radiometric 137Cs and excess 210Pb (Addison et al. (2013, doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243)), and five accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C samples. After calibrating these AMS 14C samples using the INTCAL20 curve (Reimer et al., 2020, doi:10.1017/RDC.2020.41) in CALIB 8.20 (Stuvier and Reimer, 1993, doi:10.1017/S0033822200013904) to calendar ages, the full set of geochronology data was input into the R software program (R Core Team, 2021; https://www.R-project.org) package CLAM (v. 2.6.1; Blaauw et al., 2010, doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2010.01.002) to generate a composite age-depth model for EW0408-33JC data. The composite depth scale was established using Geotek multi-sensor core logger (MSCL) data and linescan imagery to align EW0408-32MC, EW0408-33JC, and the trigger core for the jumbo piston core system EW0408-33TC. The MSCL data (gamma-ray wet bulk density and whole-round magnetic susceptibility) and linescans showed that EW0408-32MC recovered the sediment-water interface (see Addison et al. (2013, doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243) for more details), and that a shift of +0.33 m was needed to align EW0408-33TC with the datum of -32MC, and a shift of +0.54 m was required to align EW0408-33JC; together, these alignments permitted the generation of a continuous composite depth scale from 0 m (= sediment-water interface) to 5.53 m bsf (below sea floor), which is the composite depth horizon associated with 2000 calendar years ago
A condição bucal e o estado nutricional em três gerações
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em OdontologiaEstudo em três gerações realizado em uma amostra de 162 participantes, divididos em 54 famílias, cada qual com seu avô, seu filho e seu neto. Além da avaliação bucal e nutricional, verificaram-se os hábitos alimentares e relacionados à saúde bucal. A análise estatística foi realizada por meio de testes de associação Qui-Quadrado e teste de kappa. Nos resultados, a associação entre a condição bucal e o estado nutricional nas diferentes gerações não foi encontrada. Quanto à concordância intrafamiliar, tanto na condição bucal como nos hábitos alimentares, observou-se significância estatística entre a geração adulta e a geração criança. Concluiu-se que a condição bucal, o estado nutricional e os hábitos referentes à saúde bucal e alimentar parecem ser influenciados pelo contexto familiar
