Reduction in secondary phases and increased transport I(c) of (Bi,Pb)2223/Ag tapes sintered with rapid heating rates
No full textIn a two-step heat treatment with one intermediate rolling the final transport critical current, (Ic at 77 K, self field, 1iV/cm), of 37 filament (Bi,Pb)2223/Ag tapes increases linearly with the heating ramp rate: 20 A to 40 A, (~20,000 Acm-2), for 20°C/hour to 400°C/hour. The principle benefit of the rapid ramp rate is likely to come from ramping fast though 800°C to 832°C in the 1st heat treatment. SEM and XRD analysis on the superconductor-Ag interface show a decrease in the amount of secondary phases, Cu2O, Bi2(Sr,Ca)2Cu1Ox, Bi(Sr,Ca)Ox, with increasing ramp rate and critical current
Transverse distribution of the transport current density in (Bi, Pb)2223 tapes
No full textThe distribution of the critical transport current density, Jc, has been measured across the core thickness of silver sheathed (Bi, Pb)2223 tapes which contained silver addition of different particle sizes. We have found the Jc of tapes without silver addition and with 8 wt% silver addition of small particle size decreases continuously with distance from the core-sheath interface. The Jc of layers close to the silver sheath is up to four times higher than that of central layers, e.g. 3 × 104A cm?2 near the sheath and 7 × 103 Acm?2 in the centre at 77 K and self field. The tape with addition of 50 wt% 80 ?m silver particles shows a uniform Jc of about 2 × 104 A cm?2 throughout the core thickness. The V?I characteristics of the baser core of the tape without silver addition have also been measured in magnetic fields

New insulin glargine 300 U/ml compared with glargine 100 U/ml in insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes on oral glucose-lowering drugs:a randomized controlled trial (EDITION 3)
No full textAIMS: To compare the efficacy and safety of new insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) with that of glargine 100 U/ml (Gla-100) in insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes using oral glucose-lowering drugs.METHODS: The EDITION 3 study was a multicentre, open-label, parallel-group study. Participants were randomized to Gla-300 or Gla-100 once daily for 6 months, discontinuing sulphonylureas and glinides, with a dose titration aimed at achieving pre-breakfast plasma glucose concentrations of 4.4-5.6 mmol/l (80-100 mg/dl). The primary endpoint was change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to month 6. The main secondary endpoint was percentage of participants with ≥1 nocturnal confirmed [≤3.9 mmol/l (≤70 mg/dl)] or severe hypoglycaemia from week 9 to month 6. Other measures of glycaemia and hypoglycaemia, weight change and insulin dose were assessed.RESULTS: Randomized participants (n = 878) had a mean (standard deviation) age of 57.7 (10.1) years, diabetes duration 9.8 (6.4) years, body mass index 33.0 (6.7) kg/m(2) and HbA1c 8.54 (1.06) % [69.8 (11.6) mmol/mol]. HbA1c levels decreased by equivalent amounts with the two treatments; the least squares mean difference in change from baseline was 0.04 [95% confidence interval (CI) -0.09 to 0.17] % or 0.4 (-1.0 to 1.9) mmol/mol. Numerically fewer participants reported ≥1 nocturnal confirmed (≤3.9 mmol/l) or severe hypoglycaemia from week 9 to month 6 [relative risk (RR) 0.89 (95% CI 0.66 to 1.20)] with Gla-300 versus Gla-100; a significantly lower risk of hypoglycaemia with this definition was found over the 6-month treatment period [RR 0.76 (95% CI 0.59 to 0.99)]. No between-treatment differences in adverse events were identified.CONCLUSIONS: Gla-300 is as effective as Gla-100 in reducing HbA1c in insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes, with lower hypoglycaemia risk.</p

The Lone Pilgrim
I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay, And pensively stood by the tomb,
And in a low whisper I heard something say,
"Oh, how sweetly I stay here alone.
"The tempest may rage and the loud thunder roar, And gathering storms may arise,
But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul,
For the tears are all wiped from my eyes."Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

No full textThe Tornado that Struck Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on Christmas Day, 2006: Lessons Learned from a Near-Miss
No full textAn F2 tornado that touched down in Daytona Beach on Christmas Day afternoon caused over $50 million of damage to the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus and nearby neighborhoods. The tornado was part of a severe-weather outbreak over Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina that began during the overnight hours of 25 December 2006. Examination of surface and upper-level meteorological charts and vertical soundings on the morning of 25 December showed stability and wind-shear conditions favorable for tornadic thunderstorms over this region. The evolution of the squall line that moved through east-central Florida, and the parent thunderstorm that produced the tornado was examined using meteorological data from the Next Generation Doppler Radar, and Daytona Beach International Airport’s Automated Surface Observing System and Low Level Wind Shear Alert System. Non-meteorological data included eyewitness accounts from the Embry-Riddle Campus Safety Department and the airport tower’s air traffic controllers. These data sources were used to construct a timeline for the squall line’s passage, tornado touchdown at the east end of the airport’s runway 7L/25R complex, and subsequent damage path across the Embry-Riddle campus. A reconstruction of the damage path using fall semester enrollments and class locations estimated that between 400 and 500 people would have been in the tornado’s path had it occurred during a typical Monday afternoon when classes were in session. Additionally, Comair Flight 580, enroute to Daytona Beach from New York, was scheduled to land at the same time the tornado touched down at the airport, but a power outage in the radar approach control facility caused the flight to deviate from its scheduled track. Fortunately, the crew established contact with Daytona Tower and were guided to a safe landing about 25 minutes after the tornado hit. Lessons learned from this case are outlined in the form of a protocol that can be adopted by collegiate aviation programs and airport management, patterned after the four phases of emergency management: (a) mitigation, (b) preparedness, (c) response, and (d) recovery
