The liquid crystalline behaviour has been characterized by differentialscanning calorimetry (DSC) and optical polarizing microscopy. Structural broadening bysubstitution of methoxy group in 2, 2' positions of the mesogenic core produce polymers withlower transition temperatures. Polymers synthesized from ortho and meta substituted phenylenediamine did not form a liquid crystal phase.展开更多

The ebb and flow require that the power unit must operate in bidirectional tidal streams. Hence a tidal stream power unit with counter-rotating type horizontal-axis bidirectional propellers is proposed in this paper. The blades with fully-symmetrical hydrofoils were optimized numerically. The output and flow conditions predicted by the computational fluid dynamics simulations are compared with the results of the wind tunnel experiments at the higher tip speed ratios, which are of expected usual operating conditions of this unit. The numerical and experimental results show good agreements. It is also confirmed that the flow discharged from the counter-rotating type propellers has no swirling component, though the single propeller generates the unacceptable swirling component.展开更多

To date, most research and resulting clinical strategies have focused on the individual with shortterm health improvements that have not been maintained over time. Researchers more recently have recognized the need to consider the social determinants of diabetes and health along with individual factors. The purpose of this literature review is to examine current understanding of the social determinants affecting diabetes and health. A search of medical and nursing literature was conducted using PubMed, PsychInfo, CINAHL and MEDLINE databases, selecting articles published between 2000 and 2013. Search terms included: type 2 diabetes, social determinants, and health determinants. Inclusion criteria were: English language, human studies, social determinants of diabetes and health, and research in the United States. Additional search methods included reference chaining of the literature. Twenty research articles met the inclusion criteria for the review and analysis and included quantitative and qualitative methods. All studies selected for this review were descriptive in nature(n = 20). Fifteen studies were quantitative studies and five were qualitative studies. No intervention studies met inclusion criteria. Each study is summarized and critiqued. Study findings indicate that external or upstream factors consistentlyaffect individuals diagnosed with diabetes, influencing self-management. Significant methodological limitations result directly from small sample sizes, convenience or nonprobability sampling, and low statistical power.展开更多

The motivation to this problem can be traced to the recent studies on the regularity of Birkhoff interpolation and Pal type interpolations on non-uniformly distributed zeros on the unit circle.展开更多

It is known that this solid phase transition follows the nucleation-growth mechanism, so the stepwise annealing protocol was utilized to investigate the influences of co-units on the optimal nucleation and growth temperatures. Compared with optimal nucleation and growth temperatures of-10 and 3 5 ℃, respectively, in polybutene-1 homopolymer, two butene-1/ethylene copolymers with 1.5 mol% and 4.3 mol% co-units have the slightly lower optimal nucleation temperature of-15 ℃ but much higher optimal growth temperature of 50 ℃. Clearly, the effect of ethylene co-unit is more significant on varying optimal temperature for growth than for nucleation. Furthermore, when the incorporated co-unit is ringlike MCP, the optimal nucleation temperature is -15 ℃ for 2.15 mol% co-units, the same with above BE copolymers, but -13 ℃ for a very low concentration of 0.65 mol%. Interestingly, the optimal growth temperature of butene-1/1,5-hexadiene copolymers with 0.65 mo1%-2.15 mol% MCP co- units increases to 55 ℃, which is also independent on co-unit concentration. These obtained values of optimal temperatures provide crucial parameters for rapid II-I phase transition.展开更多
