Energy and emission impact quantification of pavement preservation using life cycle assessment
No full textThis study aims at developing a life cycle assessment (LCA) model to quantify the impact of pavement preservation on energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the past, most of the research focused on the environmental impact of pavements at material and construction stages but ignored the usage stage. The construction stage analyzed in this study contains energy consumption and GHG emissions at material, manufacture, transportation and placement phases. Vehicle operating cost and fuel economy is affected by change in tire rolling resistance during usage stage. This also affects GHG emissions significantly. In this study the Highway Development and Management (HDM-4) model and the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) were used to analyze fuel consumption and emissions caused by different vehicles on the pavements treated by different preservation treatments. Surface characteristics such as roughness, texture and deflection were taken into account in tire rolling resistance along with general factors such as speed, traffic volume, and road grade. Two pavement sections with different roughness from the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) database were used in the analysis to illustrate the importance of considering usage stage in LCA. The thin overlay was found to have the highest energy consumption and emissions among four preservation treatments during construction stage, but at the same time resulted in the greatest reduction of energy and emission at usage stage. If only construction stage is considered, energy and emissions are ruled by use of amount of material and manufacture process. The reductions of GHG emission at usage stage are much greater than the GHG emission produced at construction stage for all preservation treatments. Excluding the usage stage will omit the fact that construction stage has less impact on pavement LCA than usage stage. Combining both construction and usage stages gave a life-cycle impact of pavement preservation on energy and GHG emission. The results show that there is a significant amount of change in energy consumption and emissions when traffic factors and pavement surface characteristics are considered during usage stage. The study results provide valuable insights in selecting sustainable pavement maintenance strategies from an environmental view point.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Rashmi Gangara
A new determination of molecular mobility in amorphous materials:
No full textThis research investigated how the steady-state and time-resolved emission and intensity of phosphorescence from vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzaldehyde), a commonly used flavor compound, can be used to probe molecular mobility when dispersed within amorphous pure sucrose films. The luminescence properties and photophysical events of vanillin as a triplet state probe in amorphous sucrose films as a function of temperature was successfully characterized. The peak energy, bandwidth and lifetime data suggest that it is sensitive to molecular mobility and can be used monitor molecular mobility in amorphous sucrose films. Time-resolved phosphorescence intensity decays from vanillin were multiexponential both below and above the glass transition temperature, indicating that the pure (single component) amorphous matrix was dynamically heterogeneous on the molecular level.
Vanillin analogs (hydroxy, dihydroxy and ethyl vanillin)) phosphorescence lifetime were found to be extremely sensitive to the local environment in the amorphous sucrose in the glassy state and at the glass-to-rubber transition into the melt, and provided useful insight about the mechanism of vanillin sensitivity to molecular mobility. Based on this the capability of movement of methoxyl group about the C-O bond is thought to be the contributor to sensitivity of vanillin to matrix molecular mobility. The other possibility is that the effect is not that of larger group but rather that of group (like methoxy and ethoxy) not able to hydrogen bond to matrix, which can have a coupling the probe vibrations to the matrix.
Vanillin phosphorescence demonstrated that the average rate of matrix molecular mobility rates increases with an increase in the molecular size and Tg of the sugar in the glucose homologous series. A comparative study of mobility in three excipients sucrose, trehalose and PVP, using vanillin phosphorescence provided useful insight about their stabilizing effect.
The phosphorescence from probes erythrosin B, vanillin and tryptophan was successfully utilized to measure molecular mobility on three different time scales corresponding to each probe in amorphous sucrose and protein film. Molecular mobility was successfully studied in amorphous sucrose films by monitoring phosphorescence from the dual probe combination of erythrosin B: vanillin, erythrosin B: tryptophan and vanillin:tryptophan.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Rashmi Satyanarayan Tiwar
Sleep Deprivation Impairs Productivity in Adults With Mood Disorders: A Scoping Review
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 4/1/2017
Sleep deprivation (SD) is common in adults with mood disorders. Yet, little is known about how SD in adults with mood disorders may further restrict participation in occupations. This scoping review synthesized the literature on the effects of sleep deprivation on the productivity of adults with mood disorders.

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s)Speakers exhibit dialectal traits in speech at sub-segmental, segmental, and supra-segmental levels. Any feature representation for dialect classification should appropriately represent these dialectal traits. Traditional segmental features such as mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) fail to represent sub-segmental and supra-segmental dialectal traits. This study proposes to use frequency domain linear prediction cepstral coefficients (FDLPCCs) for dialect classification inspired by its long temporal summarization during pole estimation. The i-vectors and x-vectors derived from both baseline (MFCCs, linear prediction cepstral coefficients (LPCCs), perceptual LPCCs (PLPCCs), RASTA filtered PLPCCs (PLPCC-R) and proposed (FDLPCC) features are used for identifying the dialects with support vector machine (SVM) and feed-forward neural network (FFNN) as classifiers. Proposed FDLPCC features have shown to perform better than baseline features such as MFCCs and PLPCC-Rs (best among LPCCs variants) by an absolute improvement of 3.4% and 3.9% (in unweighted average recall (UAR)), with i-vector + SVM system and 1.6% and 4.6% (in UAR), i-vector + FFNN system respectively. It is also found that there exists a complementary information between the proposed and baseline features. Furthermore current studies are compared with previous studies and it is found that performances of current studies are better than previous studies.Peer reviewe
Severe anemia due to parvovirus B19 in a silver haired boy
No full textGriscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disorder in which the affected children present with characteristic silvery-white hairs. The hair microscopy of these children is characteristic and is helpful in differentiating GS from Chediak-Higashi syndrome which also presents with immunodeficiency and silver hairs. We report a 17-month-old boy with GS type 2 who presented with severe anemia. Bone marrow examination of the child suggested parvovirus B19 as the cause of severe anemia, which was later confirmed by DNA polymerase chain reaction
