    Excitation of vibrational quanta in furfural by intermediate-energy electrons

    No full text
    8 págs.; 4 figs.; 4 tabs.We report cross sections for electron-impact excitation of vibrational quanta in furfural, at intermediate incident electron energies (20, 30, and 40 eV). The present differential cross sections are measured over the scattered electron angular range 10°-90°, with corresponding integral cross sections subsequently being determined. Furfural is a viable plant-derived alternative to petrochemicals, being produced via low-temperature plasma treatment of biomass. Current yields, however, need to be significantly improved, possibly through modelling, with the present cross sections being an important component of such simulations. To the best of our knowledge, there are no other cross sections for vibrational excitation of furfural available in the literature, so the present data are valuable for this important molecule.

    Differential cross sections for electron impact excitation of the electronic bands of phenol

    11 págs.; 6 figs.; 5 tabs.© 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. We report results from a joint theoretical and experimental investigation into electron scattering from the important organic species phenol (C6H5OH). Specifically, differential cross sections (DCSs) have been measured and calculated for the electron-impact excitation of the electronic states of C6H5OH. The measurements were carried out at energies in the range 15-40 eV, and for scattered-electron angles between 10 and 90. The energy resolution of those experiments was typically ∼80 meV. Corresponding Schwinger multichannel method with pseudo-potentials calculations, with and without Born-closure, were also performed for a sub-set of the excited electronic-states that were accessed in the measurements. Those calculations were conducted at the static exchange plus polarisation (SEP)-level using a minimum orbital basis for single configuration interaction (MOBSCI) approach. Agreement between the measured and calculated DCSs was typically fair, although to obtain quantitative accord, the theory would need to incorporate even more channels into the MOBSCI.This research was supported by the Australian and Brazilian Governmental Funding Agencies (ARC, CNPq and CAPES).

    Music made visible in time and space : concepts of simultaneity in tone-eurythmy choreography

    No full text
    Includes bibliographical references (leaves 105-113).Eurythmy is an art of movement that expresses music and speech. This dissertation explores eurythmy's musical field, called tone-eurythmy, in its multifaceted appearances, background and within its philosophical context. Tone-eurythmy, carried out by performers moving in space and time, makes music visible. It transforms music into a new movement-art form, that of audible-visible music, by expressing musical components as well as the artistic intentions within a composition and those held by the performing artists. The dissertation examines how musical concepts are seen by eurythmists to integrate ideas of wholeness and to understand music as both audible and inaudible. It draws on studies and findings from music psychology to show distinct effects of musical elements on the human being, and to indicate the similarities between those and the qualitative expressions of music through tone-eurythmy

    A compact microscope for voltage imaging

    No full text
    Voltage imaging and optogenetics offer new routes to optically detect and influence neural dynamics. Optimized hardware is necessary to make the most of these new techniques. Here we present the Octoscope, a versatile, multimodal device for all-optical electrophysiology. We illustrate its concept and design and demonstrate its capability to perform both 1-photon and 2-photon voltage imaging with spatial and temporal light patterning, in both inverted and upright configurations, in vitro and in vivo.

    Dynamic Behaviour CO2 Capture and Compression: An Assessment

    No full text
    A clear understanding of the dynamic behavior of the whole chain of conventional power generation to CO2 storage is necessary. The rapidly increasing share of renewable energy makes the energy delivered to the grid more fluctuating leading to an impact on the CCS chain as well. A 250 MW scale carbon capture plant with CO2 compression has been modelled with Dymola (dynamic) and with Aspen Plus (steady-state). It is evident that large perturbations in flue gas flow rate will make it difficult to control the water balance. Moreover, parallel compression trains may be necessary to prevent compressors to run in spill back mode.Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

    Seabed environments and shallow geology of the Leveque Shelf, Browse Basin, Western Australia - Chlorophyll a, b, and c and phaeophytin a of seabed sediments.

    Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeededStatement: Bottom sediments were collected using either a Smith Macintyre grab or a Shipek grab. 0.4 ml samples of surface sediment (0-0.5 cm) were syringed into plastic bags. The samples were wrapped in Al foil and frozen. Chlorophyll concentrations were calculated on sediment extracts (90% acetone + 0.1% MgCO3) at spectrophometric readings at wavelengths of 647, 630, 750 and 664 nm. For chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and phaeophytin-a, wavelengths of 664 nm and 750 nm (before and after the addition of 200 -L-1 0.1 mol L-1 HCl per 2 mL extractant) and the equation derived by Lorenzen (1967) were used. Chlorphyll b and c concentrations were calculated according to equations provided by Jeffrey and Welschmeyer (2003). The reproducibility of the measurements is +/-10%. Lorenzen, C. J. (1967).

Thanks to the crew of the RV Solander for help with sample acquisition.Geoscience Australia undertook a marine survey of the Leveque Shelf (survey number SOL5754/GA0340), a sub-basin of the Browse Basin, in May 2013. This survey provides seabed and shallow geological information to support an assessment of the CO2 storage potential of the Browse sedimentary basin. The basin, located on the Northwest Shelf, Western Australia, was previously identified by the Carbon Storage Taskforce (2009) as potentially suitable for CO2 storage. The survey was undertaken under the Australian Government's National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP) to help identify sites suitable for the long term storage of CO2 within reasonable distances of major sources of CO2 emissions. The principal aim of the Leveque Shelf marine survey was to look for evidence of any past or current gas or fluid seepage at the seabed, and to determine whether these features are related to structures (e.g. faults) in the Leveque Shelf area that may extend to the seabed. The survey also mapped seabed habitats and biota to provide information on communities and biophysical features that may be associated with seepage. This research, combined with deeper geological studies undertaken concurrently, addresses key questions on the potential for containment of CO2 in the basin's proposed CO2 storage unit, i.e. the basal sedimentary section (Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous), and the regional integrity of the Jamieson Formation (the seal unit overlying the main reservoir). This dataset comprises total chlorin concentrations and chlorin indices from the upper 2cm of seabed sediments
