High-resolution clean-sc
No full textIn this paper a high-resolution extension of CLEAN-SC is proposed: HR-CLEAN-SC. Where CLEAN-SC uses peak sources in “dirty maps” to define so-called source components, HR-CLEAN-SC takes advantage of the fact that source components can likewise be derived from points at some distance from the peak, as long as these “source markers” are on the main lobe of the Point Spread Function (PSF). This is very useful when sources are closely spaced together, such that their PSFs interfere. Then, alternative markers can be sought in which the relative influence by PSFs of other source positions is minimised. For those markers the source components better agree with the actual sources, which allows for better estimation of their locations and strengths. This paper outlines the theory needed to understand this approach and discusses applications to 2D and 3D microphone array simulations with closely spaced sources
O estágio de prática jurídica como possibilidade de acesso à justiça à população carente, na cidade de Lages (SC)
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em DireitoO presente trabalho apresentou o tema "O [estágio de prática jurídica] como instrumento de [acesso à justiça]". Objetivou responder à seguinte questão de pesquisa: o estágio do Curso de Direito da Universidade do Planalto Catarinense promove efetivamente o [acesso à justiça], à população carente da cidade de Lages, cumprindo seu objetivo [sócio-pedagógico]? Alicerce primordial residiu na prerrogativa de que o [acesso à justiça] está assentado na Constituição brasileira, sendo esta garantia insuficiente para proporcionar o [acesso à justiça], ou seja, não apenas a admissão ao processo, mas que um maior número de pessoas possam ir em busca de seus direitos, incluindo-se a orientação pré e pós-processual. A pesquisa de campo realizada com os clientes do [Escritório Modelo de Assistência Jurídica], buscou investigar se a prestação dessa assistência com orientação jurídica pré e pós-processual existe, e em sendo positiva a resposta, se essa prestação pelo [EMAJ] é de qualidade. Restou comprovado, através da análise dos dados da pesquisa, que o [EMAJ] de Lages (SC) é um instrumento de conscientização da cidadania, sendo um elo importante de aproximação da população pesquisada com a Justiça, demonstrando assim que ele cumpre seu objetivo [sócio-pedagógico] e promove o [Acesso à Justiça] através da [Assistência Jurídica Gratuita]

Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy with high strength at elevated temperatures due to a hierarchical microstructure
No full textAl-Mg alloys are normally prone to lose part of their yield and tensile strength at high temperatures due to insufficient thermal stability of the microstructure. Here, we present a Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy demonstrating high strength at elevated temperatures. The microstructure contains Al4Ca phases distributed as a network along the grain boundary and Al3(Sc,Zr) nano-particles dispersed within the grains. The microstructure evolution and age-hardening analysis indicate that the combination of an Al4Ca network and Sc-rich nano-particles leads to excellent thermal stability even upon aging at 300 °C. The tensile strength of the alloy for temperatures up to 250 °C is significantly improved by an aging treatment and is comparable with the commercial heat-resistant aluminum alloys, i.e., A356 and A319. At a high temperature of 300 °C, the tensile strength is superior to the above-mentioned commercial alloys, even more so when expressed as the specific strength due to the low density of Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy. The excellent high-temperature strength results from a synergistic effect of solid solution strengthening, grain boundary strengthening and nanoparticle order strengthening.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Novel Aerospace Material
SC-Square: Overview to 2021.
No full textThis extended abstract was written to accompany an invited talk at the 2021 SC-Square Workshop, where the author was asked to give an overview of SC-Square progress to date. The author first reminds the reader of the definition of SC-Square, then briefly outlines some of the history, before picking out some (personal) scientific highlights

Control of table grape storage rots by pre-harvest applications of salts
No full textThe activity of 19 inorganic and organic salts to control table grape storage rots was preliminarily assessed by in vitro and in vivo tests.
Several salts reduced the growth of Botrytis cinerea Pers. on amended (0.1–2%, w/v) glucose–agar; however, only calcium chloride (CC),
potassium carbonate (PC), sodium bicarbonate (SB) and sodium carbonate (SC) significantly reduced the incidence of grey mould on small
table grape bunches (cv. Italia). PC, SB and SC showed a similar effect in the in vitro (inhibition of mycelial growth and conidia germination
of B. cinerea) and in vivo tests (reduction of incidence of grey mould on table grape), whereas CC was effective only in vivo. Efficacy of salts
applied before harvest was extensively evaluated in small-scale tests (CC, PC, SB, and SC), and in large-scale tests (CC, SB, SC). In both,
small- and large-scale tests, field applications of salts resulted in a significant reduction of botrytis storage rots. Field rots (mainly sour rot)
were significantly reduced when vines were sprayed at least 21 days before harvest. In large-scale tests, simulating the practical commercial
conditions in Southern Italy, two salt applications (30 and 90 days before harvest) of CC, SC, or SB significantly reduced postharvest grey
mould from 63.8% among untreated controls to 22.5, 31.2, and 29.5%, respectively. In the same conditions, field rots were 23.4% (untreated
control), 9.5% (CC), 11.9% (SC) and 12.0% (SB). On the whole, salts showed an activity higher or similar to that of conventional chemical
treatments. Finally, results from specific tests suggested that pH and inhibition of polygalacturonase activity of B. cinerea seem to play a role
in the mode of action of SB, SC, PC and CC
