Sweeping has no effect on renormalized turbulent viscosity
No full textWe perform renormalization group analysis (RG) of the Navier-Stokes equation in the presence of constant mean velocity field , and show that the renormalized viscosity is unaffected by , thus negating the ``sweeping effect", proposed by Kraichnan [Phys. Fluids {\bf 7}, 1723 (1964)] using random Galilean invariance. Using direct numerical simulation, we show that the correlation functions for and differ from each other, but the renormalized viscosity for the two cases are the same. Our numerical results are consistent with the RG calculations
Image analysis application for automatic quantification of intramuscular connective tissue in meat
No full textAn image analysis application for the quantification of meat intramuscular connective tissue (IMCT) and fibre retraction is presented. This image analysis method was applied to microscopic images of Sirius red-stained tissue sections from various animal species (pig, cow, pigeon, and lamb), including different breeds of pig (Large White crossbreed and Iberian) and cow (Kobe and Rubia Gallega). Results obtained showed statistically significant differences among the species in area and percentage of IMCT, perimysium and fibre retraction in meat (p < 0.001, Kruskal-Wallis). Significant differences were also observed between the two breeds of pig in percentages of IMCT (4.00 ± 2.15 vs. 17.02 ± 14.99; p = 0.028, Mann-Whitney U test) and perimysium (22.59 ± 0.87 vs. 9.93 ± 4.95; p = 0.009, Mann-Whitney U test) in longissimus thoracis (LT). This original design software permits the accurate, objective, reliable, and fully reproducible quantification of IMCT and fibre retraction in meat
Réception sur fond d’identification dans le transfert culturel franco-allemand : formes d’appropriation dans la réception de Gide par Klaus Mann
No full textInternational audienceWar der persönliche wie schriftstellerische Austausch zwischen André Gide und Klaus Mann auch eher einseitig, so war Manns Bewunderung für den älteren französischen Schriftsteller doch sehr produktiv: neben zahlreichen Essays über Gide publizierte Mann 1948 eine umfassende Gide-Biographie und trug so zu einer weiteren Verbreitung von Gides Werk und Ideen im deutschsprachigen Raum bei. In all diesen Texten lassen sich Spuren einer deutlich individuellen, mitunter von Identifikation geprägten Rezeption des Gide’schen Werks erkennen und beschreiben, die so weit geht, dass Mann sich in intertextuellen Verfahren der Partizipation wie auch der Transformationen (Lachmann) Gides Texte nicht zur gedanklich, sondern auch formal aneignet. An diesem Beispiel lässt sich exemplarisch verdeutlichen, wie eine solche individuelle Rezeptionspraxis französisch-deutschen Kulturtransfer prägen kann.Personal and professional exchange between André Gide and Klaus Mann were not really driven by mutual interest and yet Mann’s admiration for the older French writer has been a very productive aspect of his life and work. He published a certain number of essays on Gide as well as an extensive biography and, by doing so, he contributed to a wider spreading of Gide’s works and ideas in the German speaking world. Within these biographical writings traces of a clearly induvial, even identificational reception of Gide’s works can be observed and described. By intertextual participation and transformation (Lachmann), Mann even comes to an intellectual and formal appropriation of these works. This practice shows how individual ways of reception can influence French-German cultural transfer.Si les échanges personnels et professionnels entre André Gide et Klaus Mann furent plutôt à sens unique, l’admiration de Klaus Mann pour l’écrivain français, qui était son aîné, fut néanmoins très productive : outre de nombreux essais sur Gide, Klaus Mann publia en 1948 une biographie très complète de Gide, contribuant ainsi à une plus ample diffusion de l’œuvre et des idées de ce dernier dans l’espace germanophone. Dans tous ces écrits, l’on relève les traces d’une réception très personnelle de l’œuvre, marquée parfois par un véritable mouvement d’identification, si bien qu’on s’aperçoit que Klaus Mann, par un processus intertextuel de participation et de transformation s’approprie les textes de Gide non seulement sur le plan des idées, mais aussi sur le plan de la forme. Cet exemple montre clairement comment ce genre de réception peut imprégner un transfert culturel franco-allemand
BONDING AND DYNAMICS OF CNRg AND CRg COMPLEXES
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322The van der Waals complexes of CN and C with rare gas atoms (Rg) are of interest from the perspectives of their bonding characteristics and predissociation dynamics. Matrix isolation data indicate that that the bonding ranges from a weak van der Waals interaction for the Ne complexes to incipient chemical bonding for Xe. The low-lying vibronic states of CN and C are interleaved, which facilitates electronic energy transfer. Consequently, electronic predissociation of CNRg and CRg complexes provides a useful means to examine the detailed dynamics of electronic energy transfer. Predissociation processes for CNRg complexes have been characterized using double resonance techniques. The final state distributions exhibit symmetry preferences that yield insights concerning the topologies of the relevant potential energy surfaces. In addition, bond energies can be deduced from the predissociation dynamics. Data for the binary complexes CNRg (Rg=Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) and CRg will be presented, along with theoretical analyses based on potential energy surfaces
René Géronimo Favaloro : pioneer of Cardiac Surgery
No full textDr. René G. Favaloro moved to the Cleveland Clinic in 1962 and proceeded to reshape the face of cardiac surgery as we knew it. Together with his colleagues at the Cleveland Clinic, Drs. Effler, Sones, Proudfit, Groves, Sheldon and countless others, he contributed to the double internal mammary arterymyocardial implantation by the Vineberg method, and by May 1967, he reconstructed the right coronary artery by the saphenous vein graft interposition. These landmark procedures paved the way for the aorto-coronary saphenous vein bypass graft in October 1967. Many similar breakthroughs ensued, with the application of the bypass technique to the left coronary artery, the combination of coronary artery bypass graft with left ventricular reconstruction and valve repair/replacement and finally, by December, a double bypass to the right coronary artery and anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. In June, 1971, Dr. Favaloro decided to leave the Cleveland Clinic and return to Argentina where he created a medical centre, a teaching unit, a research department and finally an Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery. This was his greatest personal ambition. Over and above his brilliant mind and craft, Dr. Favaloro was a man of integrity, courage, honesty and humility, whose name will never cease to reverberate throughout the history of medicine.peer-reviewe
