    No full text
    The author analyzed the exclamation entries in Russian and Polish dictionaries. The article aims to present various ways of the dictionary exclamation description exemplifying it by one primary (A! - a!) and one secondary (Боже! - Boże!) exclamations. The paper is to show the shortcomings and propose corrections in lexicographical description of exclamations. Due to the frequency of their use in speech and writing, the author also proposes to increase the number of exclamation entries in explanatory dictionaries. Compilation of a separate exclamation dictionary in both of the analyzed languages is worth considering

    Corrosion of rebar in a concrete involves large sums of money where about 6.4to6.4 to 10.7 Billion worth of costs in a repair of "corrosion" on highway bridges in the USA. Four methods that are commonly used to prevent corrosion have been tried where each method had their own advocate and detractors. One such method to mitigate such corrosion is to add inhibitors to the concrete. Another method is the use of current cathodic protection (CP) which can be applied even when the structure is already corroding. The use of coatings can also help prevent corrosion as with the likes of zinc coatings. Furthermore, the development of methods of monitoring may also come in as corrosion prevention

    Towards an understanding of the helium\u2013acetylene van der Waals complex

    No full text
    The weakly bound complex He\u2013C2D2 is studied in the \u3bd 3 fundamental band of C2D2 ( 482440\u2009cm 12\ub9) using a tuneable infrared diode laser to probe a pulsed supersonic slit jet expansion. This is the first published spectrum for helium\u2013acetylene. Transitions observed in the region of the C2D2 R(0) line are assigned with the help of theoretical results based on an ab initio intermolecular potential, and fitted using a simple Coriolis model. The results indicate that the complex is rather close to the free rotor limit, helping to explain the absence of previous data. Scaled parameters from the model are used to predict a spectrum for He\u2013C2H2.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye

    The infrared spectrum of the He-C2D2 complex

    Spectra of the helium-acetylene complex are elusive because this weakly bound system lies close to the free rotor limit. Previously, limited assignments of He-C2D2 transitions in the R(0) region of the \u3bd3 fundamental band ( 482440 cm-1) were published. Here, new He-C2D2 infrared spectra of this band are obtained using a tunable optical parametric oscillator laser source to probe a pulsed supersonic slit jet expansion from a cooled nozzle, and the analysis is extended to the weaker and more difficult P(1) and R(1) regions. A term value approach is used to obtain a consistent set of "experimental" energy levels. These are compared directly with calculations using two recently reported ab initio intermolecular potential energy surfaces, which exhibit small but significant differences. Rovibrational energies for the He-C2H2 complex are also calculated using both surfaces. A Coriolis model, useful for predicting spectral intensities, is used to interpret the energy level patterns, and a comparison with the isoelectronic complex He-CO is made.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye

    New spectroscopic results on acetylene dimers and trimers

    No full text
    Spectra of acetylene dimers and trimers containing one or more C2D2 monomer are studied in the \u3bd3 fundamental band region of C2D2 ( 482440\u2009cm 12\ub9) using a tuneable infrared diode laser to probe a pulsed supersonic slit jet expansion. Four new subbands are observed in the perpendicular band of (C2D2)2, and this enables the first direct determination of the A rotational constant for an acetylene dimer. The value found for A is significantly larger than the previous indirect value based on microwave spectra. The dimer parallel band is observed and found to be highly perturbed, and observations are extended for the mixed dimer C2D2 \u2013 C2H2. The trimers (C2D2)3, (C2D2)2 \u2013 C2H2, and C2D2 \u2013 (C2H2)2 are observed spectroscopically for the first time. Establishment of a precise band origin is difficult for (C2D2)3 because of the inherent nature of the spectrum, but this is possible for two out of three of the bands of the mixed trimers.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye

    Sensitive and Direct Analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa through Self-Primer-Assisted Chain Extension and CRISPR-Cas12a-Based Color Reaction

    No full text
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a common opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen that may cause infections to immunocompromised patients. However, sensitive and reliable analysis of P. aeruginosa remains a huge challenge. In this method, target recognition assists the formation of a self-primer and initiates single-stranded chain production. The produced single-stranded DNA chain is identified by CRISPR-Cas12a, and consequently, the trans-cleavage activity of the Cas12a enzyme is activated to parallelly digest Ag+ aptamer sequences that are chelated with silver ions (Ag+). The released Ag+ reacted with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) for coloring. Compared with the traditional color developing strategies, which mainly rely on the DNA hybridization, the color developing strategy in this approach exhibits a higher efficiency due to the robust trans-cleavage activity of the Cas12a enzyme. Consequently, the method shows a low limit of detection of a wide detection of 5 orders of magnitudes and a low limit of detection of 21 cfu/mL, holding a promising prospect in early diagnosis of infections. Herein, we develop a sensitive and reliable method for direct and colorimetric detection of P. aeruginosa by integrating self-primer-assisted chain production and CRISPR-Cas12a-based color reaction and believe that the established approach will facilitate the development of bacteria-analyzing sensors

    Stakeholder perspectives on the development of a virtual clinic for diabetes care : qualitative study

    No full text
    Background: The development of the Internet has created new opportunities for health care provision, including its use as a tool to aid the self-management of chronic conditions. We studied stakeholder reactions to an Internet-based “virtual clinic,” which would allow people with diabetes to communicate with their health care providers, find information about their condition, and share information and support with other users. Objective: The aim of the study was to present the results of a detailed consultation with a variety of stakeholder groups in order to identify what they regard as the desirable, important, and feasible characteristics of an Internet-based intervention to aid diabetes self-management. Methods: Three focus groups were conducted with 12 people with type 1 diabetes who used insulin pumps. Participants were recruited through a local diabetes clinic. One-on-one interviews were conducted with 5 health care professionals from the same clinic (2 doctors, 2 nurses, 1 dietitian) and with 1 representative of an insulin pump company. We gathered patient consensus via email on the important and useful features of Internet-based systems used for other chronic conditions (asthma, epilepsy, myalgic encephalopathy, mental health problems). A workshop to gather expert consensus on the use of information technology to improve the care of young people with diabetes was organized. Results: Stakeholder groups identified the following important characteristics of an Internet-based virtual clinic: being grounded on personal needs rather than only providing general information; having the facility to communicate with, and learn from, peers; providing information on the latest developments and news in diabetes; being quick and easy to use. This paper discusses these characteristics in light of a review of the relevant literature. The development of a virtual clinic for diabetes that embodies these principles, and that is based on self-efficacy theory, is described. Conclusions: Involvement of stakeholders is vital early in the development of a complex intervention. Stakeholders have clear and relevant views on what a virtual clinic system should provide, and these views can be captured and synthesized with relative ease. This work has led to the design of a system that is able to meet user needs and is currently being evaluated in a pilot study
