The application of high temperature superconducting materials to power switches
No full textSuperconducting switches may nd application in superconducting magnet systems that
require energy extraction. Such superconducting switches could be bypass-switches that
are operated in conjunction with a parallel resistor or dump-switches where all of the
energy is dissipated in the switch itself. Bypass-switches are more suited to higher energy
circuits as a portion of the energy can be dissipated in the external dump resistor. Dump-switches
require less material and triggering energy as a lower switch resistance is needed
to achieve the required total dump resistance.Both superconducting bypass-switches and superconducting dump-switches can be thermally
activated. Switching times that are comparable to those obtained with mechanical
bypass-switch systems can be achieved using a co-wound heater that is powered by a capacitor
discharge. Switches that have fast thermal diffusion times through the insulation
can be modelled as a lumped system whereas those with slow thermal diffusion times were
modelled with the full heat diffusion equation.Superconducting switches can be formed of either high temperature superconductors
(HTS) or low temperature superconductors (LTS). Switches based on HTS materials allow
operation at higher temperatures where the cost of cooling is less. Extracting the magnet
energy and depositing the heater energy at higher temperatures will also reduce the load on
the overall cryogenic system during switching and energy extraction. For magnet circuits
that are based on high temperature superconductors the switch must also be formed of
HTS material. Due to the approximately T3 dependence of specific heat capacity, switches
that operate at higher temperatures have slower heat diffusion times and require higher
triggering energies than those operating at low temperature. HTS based dump-switches
and HTS based bypass-switches were tested in liquid nitrogen to show that the required
switching time could be achieved at these high temperatures.The design and optimisation of superconducting switches that were formed of various
superconducting materials were performed for example magnet circuits to provide reference
designs of switches. These example circuits were based on selected Large Hadron Collider
600 A circuits that had a stored energy of 5.5 kJ. Superconducting switches may also nd
application in magnet circuits with higher transport currents and higher energies. The
scaling and suitability of the reference designs to higher energy circuits was also described
Two new species and one new variety of Mimosa sect. Habbasia (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) from central Brazil
No full textTwo new species, Mimosa myrioglandulosa V. F. Dutra & F. C. P. Garcia and M. trinerva V. F. Dutra & F. C. P. Garcia, and one new variety M. foliolosa Benth. var. grandibractea V. F. Dutra & F. C. P. Garcia, of Mimosa sect. Habbasia (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae) from the rocky fields of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, are described and illustrated. M. myrioglandulosa resembles M. maguirei Barneby, but differs because it has stems with sessile glands. M. trinerva is vegetatively similar to M. albolanata Taub. var. paucipinna (Benth.) Barneby, but has corolla lobes with 2 – 3 nerves. M. foliolosa var. grandibractea is similar to M. foliolosa var. brevibractea Barneby, but has larger bracts. Discussions about the distribution, habitat, phenology, conservation status, etymology, similar species and an analytical key to morphologically related species are provided
Passive, invasive, and duplicitous: Three forms of intimate partner cyberstalking
No full textIntimate partners are common targets of cyberstalking, yet despite the negative impact the behavior remains largely underexplored. In the present study, we explore behavioral methods adopted to cyberstalk intimate partners. Participants (N = 449, 50.1% men) recruited via Amazon's Mechanical Turk completed an online questionnaire and we assessed a range of intimate partner cyberstalking behaviors across mating contexts (i.e., short-term v long-term relationships) and goals (i.e., mate retention v mate attainment). These cyberstalking behaviors were factor analyzed (i.e., Exploratory Factor Analysis) and reduced to reveal three dimensions: Passive, invasive, and duplicitous. Both men and women largely engage in passive cyberstalking, though women perpetrated more overall, passive, and invasive intimate partner cyberstalking. Women were also likely to adopt invasive behaviors to retain a long-term mate and attain a short-term mate. We also examined associations between the Dark Tetrad traits, social motives, and cyberstalking. All Dark Tetrad traits were associated with more overall cyberstalking but demonstrated differential patterns across the three forms, substantiating a dimensional conceptualization of this online behavior. Results of the current study contribute to establishing a theoretical framework to understand perpetration of intimate partner cyberstalking, ultimately contributing to managing the potentially harmful online behavior
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
[Report to W. P. Gannaway by V. J. Brian and T. T. Wardlaw, March 9, 1964]
No full textCriminal intelligence report addressed to Captain W. P. Gannaway of the Special Service Bureau in Dallas, Texas. The report, which was submitted by detectives V. J. Brian and T. T. Wardlaw, states that Edward Tieman and his wife were picketing the Dallas County Courthouse on March 9th, 1964. Tieman carried a sign which read "Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible everyone's hope," while his wife carried a sign which read "Psychiatry is not the hope of killers. It tries to mock God and our nation's laws.
