Novel interphases: Synthesis, molecular orientation and grafting of liquid crystal polymers on carbon fibers
No full textThe objective of this research has been to study composite materials containing liquid crystal polymers either as matrices or in interfacial boundary zones. The fundamental point of interest here is the interfacial response that fiber surfaces can potentially induce in self ordering polymers. This investigation includes studies in three broad categories: molecular orientation of nematic melts containing dispersed carbon fibers, the chemical grafting of a liquid crystal polymer to these fibers by in-situ polymerization of monomeric melts, and the synthesis and anchoring on fibers of specially designed liquid crystal monomers and polymers containing pendant chemical functions on their mesogenic groups."The matrix polymer used in orientation studies is a chemically disordered thermotropic copolyester synthesized from the monomers p-acetoxybenzoic acid, diacetoxyhydroquinone and pimelic acid. Broadline proton NMR studies revealed enhanced rates of magnetic orientation in the polymer melt when carbon fibers are dispersed in the medium. Polarized optical microscopy studies of these composite samples revealed that fiber surfaces influence the orientation of mesomorphic molecules in their immediate surroundings. Inspite of this orienting influence of fibers on the matrix molecules, fracture surface analysis of composite specimens by SEM revealed poor wetting of the fibers by the matrix polymer. It was possible to induce excellent wetting of this polymer on carbon fibers by in-situ polymerization of the monomers in the presence of functionalized fibers which result in covalent grafting of mesogenic chains on fiber surfaces. New hydroxy-functionalized side chain liquid crystal polymers were synthesized which could be useful in the molecular design of interfacial boundary layers in polymer-based composites. Optical observations reveal that the phenolic monomer has an exceptionally strong tendency for orthogonal anchoring on glass surfaces. However, this anchoring by glass is disturbed around carbon fibers dispersed in the monomeric melt. From studies with a compensator, it is inferred that these ""boundary zones"" contain arrays of molecules oriented in two different directions. In contrast to the monomer, the orienting behavior of the polymer or either glass or carbon surfaces is less defined. However, this property of the polymer could be improved significantly by replacing some phenolic groups by bulky, nonpolar silyl ether groups."Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:14:44Z (GMT).

Open defecation and childhood stunting in India: an ecological analysis of new data from 112 districts.
No full textPoor sanitation remains a major public health concern linked to several important health outcomes; emerging evidence indicates a link to childhood stunting. In India over half of the population defecates in the open; the prevalence of stunting remains very high. Recently published data on levels of stunting in 112 districts of India provide an opportunity to explore the relationship between levels of open defecation and stunting within this population. We conducted an ecological regression analysis to assess the association between the prevalence of open defecation and stunting after adjustment for potential confounding factors. Data from the 2011 HUNGaMA survey was used for the outcome of interest, stunting; data from the 2011 Indian Census for the same districts was used for the exposure of interest, open defecation. After adjustment for various potential confounding factors--including socio-economic status, maternal education and calorie availability--a 10 percent increase in open defecation was associated with a 0.7 percentage point increase in both stunting and severe stunting. Differences in open defecation can statistically account for 35 to 55 percent of the average difference in stunting between districts identified as low-performing and high-performing in the HUNGaMA data. In addition, using a Monte Carlo simulation, we explored the effect on statistical power of the common practice of dichotomizing continuous height data into binary stunting indicators. Our simulation showed that dichotomization of height sacrifices statistical power, suggesting that our estimate of the association between open defecation and stunting may be a lower bound. Whilst our analysis is ecological and therefore vulnerable to residual confounding, these findings use the most recently collected large-scale data from India to add to a growing body of suggestive evidence for an effect of poor sanitation on human growth. New intervention studies, currently underway, may shed more light on this important issue
Mesozooplankton response to iron enrichment during the diatom bloom and bloom decline in SERIES (NE Pacific)
No full textA mesoscale iron-fertilization experiment was carried out in the eastern subarctic Pacific during summer 2002. The iron patch was traced for 26 days after the enrichment, and the abundance and behavior of mesozooplankton was compared with those outside of the patch during the first half of the experiment (days 2–18) by Sastri and Dower [2006. Mesozooplankton community response during the SERIES iron enrichment experiment in the subarctic NE Pacific. Deep-Sea Research Part II.) and during the post-enrichment diatom bloom and its period of decline (days 15–26; this paper). The surface chlorophyll-a concentration in the patch was high between days 15 and 17 (6 mg m−3) and decreased to 1.4 mg m−3 at the end of the observation. Dominant zooplankton species in the upper 200 m were copepods: Eucalanus bungii, Pseudocalanus spp., Neocalanus plumchrus, N. cristatus, and Metridia pacifica. Species composition did not change significantly in the patch over the observation period. However, shallower distribution depths of E. bungii, N. cristatus and M. pacifica were observed in the patch during and after the diatom bloom. Especially, E. bungii was mainly distributed in the subsurface layer outside of the patch, but it was mainly in the surface mixed layer inside the patch, where it also had an enhanced development rate and increased biomass. We also propose the accumulation mechanism of zooplankton in the patch due to the upward immigration. Moreover, the abundance of the first copepodite stage of E. bungii and calyptopis larvae of euphausiids increased several fold in the patch compared to the densities outside the patch. The increases in both species are considered to be due to lowered mortality during the egg and naupliar stages, which was caused by lowered relative importance of eggs and nauplii in the diets of the suspension-feeding omnivores in the patch due to increased diatom abundance during the diatom bloom. Gut-pigment contents of dominant copepods in the patch increased 6–8 times, and the maximum values were observed during the bloom peak. The grazing impact on phytoplankton was low during the bloom period, but increased in the declining period of the diatom bloom
Pendidikan Agama Kristen Berpola Pedagogik Transformatif Pada Era Revolusi Industri 4.0 Menurut Matius 11:28-30
No full textThe urgency of this study aims to explain the actualization of Christian religious education which currently seems not to be going in rhythm with various expectations. This condition occurs because of the rapid demands of science and information networks development in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 intertwined with waves of disruption. It is ironic because, in practice, some teachers still use conventional patterns. This of course is tedious and burdensome. The author uses a qualitative method with a literature approach and concludes that the praxis of Christian religious education is intertwined with a transformative call in the semantic meaning of Matthew 11:28-30. Therefore, the actualization of Christian religious education must be passionate, provide relief, be interactive, and dialogical, and lead to an invitation to learn continuously by educators to students gently and pleasantly as the Lord Jesus did

Phys. 39, 3497 (1963).Author Institution: Frick Chemical Laboratory, Princeton UniversityThe infrared spectra of films of solid HF and DF have been reinvestigated and extended to cover the region . Previously unreported bands have been found in HF at and in DF at 210 and , this latter being the analog of a transition in HF at ; from the isotope shifts, these are assigned as lattice translations. A pair of weak absorptions in the intramolecular region of DF corresponds to a similar pair in HF and these appear to be combinations of lattice translational and internal stretching modes. The Raman scattering from HF and DF crystals has been studied over the region ; bands are detected in the intramolecular regions of both compounds. Simple vector and tensor intensity calculations are used to aid the assignment of vibrational transitions. The spectra are discussed in terms of a four-molecule, unit cell, and the effects of various kinds of disorder are considered
Evolving Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems from data streams (eTS+).
No full textIt is a well known fact that nowadays we are faced with not only large data sets that we need to process quickly, but with huge data streams (Domingos and Hulten, 2001). Special requirements are also placed by the fast growing sector of autonomous systems where systems that can re-train and adapt ‘on-fly’ are required (Patchett and Sastri, 2007). Similar requirements are enforced by the advanced process industries for self-developing and self-maintaining sensors (Qin et al., 1997). Now they even talk about self-learning industries (EC, 2007). All of these requirements cannot be met by using off-line methods and systems that can only adjust their parameters and/or are linear (Astroem and Wittenmark, 1989). These requirements call for a new type of systems that assumes the structure of non-linear, non-stationary systems to be adaptive and flexible. The author of this chapter started research work in this direction around the turn of the century (Angelov and Buswell, 2001; Angelov, 2002) and this research culminated in proposing with Dr. D. Filev the so called evolving Takagi-Sugeno (eTS) fuzzy system (Angelov and Filev, 2003). Since then a number of improvements of the original algorithm has been done, which require a systematic description in one publication. In this chapter an enhanced version of the eTS algorithm will be described which is called eTS+. It has been tested on a data stream from real engine test bench (data provided courtesy of Dr. E. Lughofer, Linz, Austria). The results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed enhanced approach for modeling real data stream in precision, simplicity and interpretability, and computational resources used.

A cross-layer approach to enhance QoS for multimedia applications over satellite
No full textThe need for on-demand QoS support for communications over satellite is of primary importance for distributed multimedia applications. This is particularly true for the return link which is often a bottleneck due to the large set of end-users accessing a very limited uplink resource. Facing this need, Demand Assignment Multiple Access (DAMA) is a classical technique that allows satellite operators to offer various types of services, while managing the resources of the satellite system efficiently. Tackling the quality degradation and delay accumulation issues that can result from the use of these techniques, this paper proposes an instantiation of the Application Layer Framing (ALF) approach, using a cross-layer interpreter(xQoS-Interpreter). The information provided by this interpreter is used to manage the resource provided to a terminal by the satellite system in order to improve the quality of multimedia presentations from the end users point of view. Several experiments are carried out for different loads on the return link. Their impact on QoS is measured through different application as well as network level metrics
The Doctrine of Empirical Consciousness in the Bhoga Kārikā
No full textThe following dissertation consists of a study of an eighth century A.D. Sanskrit text dealing with the soteriological implications of the nature of "bhoga"- "mundane experience" or, more precisely, "empirical consciousness". The dissertation can be subdivided into two major sections. The first section consists of a critical discussion or the doctrine of bhoga in the Bhogakārikāvrtti; the second section consists of an English translation of the Sanskrit text. The following study of the Bhoga Kārikā and its commentary has as its major concern the explication of the idea of "bhoga" put forth in the text. According to the school of Śaivism to which the author of the Bhoga Kārikā belongs, souls are by nature possessed of the two "capacities" (śakti) of consciousness and agency. Existing in a beginningless condition in the soul, these two capacities are obfuscated by the defiling power of a cosmic principle described as "mala". Due to this defilement the soul is forced into experiencing things in a limited manner, i.e. solely as an ego-personality whose self-understanding is both defined by and limited to the empirical sphere of experience. In explicating the doctrine of bhoga expressed by Sadyojyoti and defending his commentator Aghora Śiva, the dissertation takes up a discussion on the various polemics against other systems, such as the Buddhists, Cārvāka, Nyāya and Sāmkhya. As well, an attempt is made to
point out the particular manner in which Sadyojyoti's doctrine of "bhoga"
shares close affiliations with the schools of Mīmāmsā and Sāmkhya-Yoga. The text was translated under the guidance of Dr. S. S. Janaki, the Director of Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute in Madras. The Sanskrit text of the Bhoga Kārikā consists of 146 verses by a renowned Śaivite author, Sadyojyoti (8th c. A. D.) and a brief commentary by another renowned Śaivite author, Aghora Śiva (14th c. A. D.). Although by themselves the verses are difficult to understand without the aid of the commentary, the commentary itself is written in simple Sanskrit prose. The Bhoga Kārikā is one of a host of Śaivite "manuals" that
systematically define the essential teachings and particular themes of Agamic Śaivism. Aghora Śiva's commentary on the Bhoga Kārikā is typical of the commentaries accompanying most of these manuals: it is brief and polemical. Chapter I of the dissertation deals with the authors Sadyojyoti and Aghora Śiva in relation to the Śaivite tradition; as well, Chapter I treats the basic concepts of "bhoga" and "tattva" employed in the Bhoga Kārikā. Chapter II deals with the doctrine of the subtle and the gross elements, emphasizing the concern of the tattvic doctrine that each tattva is a sine qua non in the event of bhoga. Chapter III treats the sphere of the motor, sense and intellectual organs and the polemics
against the Cārvākas and Nyāya concerning the role of "consciousness" in the sphere of empirical experience. The specific organs of the "antahkarana" , i.e. ,manas, buddhi and ahamkāra, are treated in Chapter IV. More epistemological issues are discussed in Chapter V, most notably the Śaivite doctrine that the soul has intrinsic to the dual capacities (śakti) of consciousness and agency. The last chapter, Chapter VI, deals with the trans-buddhi conditions governing empirical consciousness, and includes a discussion of the soteriological import of māyā and mala. Appendix I consists of the translation of the Bhoga Kārikā Vrtti
while the transliteration of the text appears in Appendix II.ThesisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD
