Pillared clays (PILCs) with magnetic properties have significant potential for application in industry and the environment, but relatively few studies of these types of materials have been carried out. The aim of the present work was to gain insight into the magnetic and structural properties of pillared clays by examining in detail the influence of the calcination temperature and the nature of different pillared clays on these properties.
Magnetic layered systems from different pillared clays were prepared and characterized. Firstly, Ti-, Al-, and Zr-pillared clays (Ti-PILCs, Al-PILCs, and Zr-PILCs, respectively) were produced at different calcination temperatures and then magnetic pillared clays (Ti-M-PILCs, Al-M-PILCs, and Zr-M-PILCs) were prepared at ambient temperature. The synthesis involves a reduction in aqueous solution of the original Fe-exchanged pillared clay using NaBH4. The structural properties of pillared clays and their magnetic forms were investigated using X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, cation exchange capacity determination, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements. The properties of the magnetic pillared clays were investigated by superconducting quantum interference devices and Mössbauer spectroscopy. An evaluation of the data obtained allowed an estimation of the pillared structure in one PILC-model before and after magnetization. The model was determined on the basis of a simple geometric model and experimental data leading to the calculation of a filling factor (FF) which contained information about the number of intercalated pillared layers and the unaffected layers. In the case of Ti precursors, the best calcination temperature was 400°C, which maintained the highest specific surface area and pore volume with magnetic parameters suitable for magnetic application. Similar experiments with Al- and Zr-pillars have been discussed. A correlation between the XRF data, porosity, FF calculation, and magnetic properties led to the conclusion that the sample Al-M-PILC previously calcined at 500°C was the most stable material after the magnetization process. The same examination in the case of Zr materials suggested that the most stable sample had been calcined at 300°C (sample Zr-M-PILC-300).

Pillared clays (PILCs) with magnetic properties are materials with potential for wide application in industry and the environment, but only a few studies of these types of materials have been carried out. The purpose of this study was to advance knowledge of the preparation and magnetic properties of pillared clays by examining in detail a series of magnetic Ti-pillared clays (Ti-M-PILCs). Samples were synthesized at ambient temperature by sodium borohydride reduction of ferrous ions added by ion-exchange to Ti-pillared montmorillonite (Ti-PILCs). The properties of the Ti-M-PILCs were investigated using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Hysteresis, zero-field-cooled (ZFC), and field-cooled (FC) regimes were measured on different precursor materials prepared by calcination of Ti-PILCs at temperatures between 200 and 600°C. Hysteresis loops, recorded between −7 and 7 T in the temperature range 200–300 K, were observed in most samples depending on the preparation of clays. The ZFC/FC measurements were made after heating from 2 to 300 Kunder an applied magnetic field of 39.8 kA m−1. The influence of the calcination temperature of the starting Ti-PILCs on the structural and magnetic properties of the Ti-M-PILCs was examined. The presence of two different Fe-alloy distributions was found; a dispersed one for the less-calcined Ti-PILCs and clusters for the more-calcined ones.

Gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars encode information about nuclear matter at extreme densities, inaccessible by laboratory experiments. The late inspiral is influenced by the presence of tides, which depend on the neutron star equation of state. Neutron star mergers are expected to often produce rapidly rotating remnant neutron stars that emit gravitational waves. These will provide clues to the extremely hot post-merger environment. This signature of nuclear matter in gravitational waves contains most information in the 2–4 kHz frequency band, which is outside of the most sensitive band of current detectors. We present the design concept and science case for a Neutron Star Extreme Matter Observatory (NEMO): a gravitational-wave interferometer optimised to study nuclear physics with merging neutron stars. The concept uses high-circulating laser power, quantum squeezing, and a detector topology specifically designed to achieve the high-frequency sensitivity necessary to probe nuclear matter using gravitational waves. Above 1 kHz, the proposed strain sensitivity is comparable to full third-generation detectors at a fraction of the cost. Such sensitivity changes expected event rates for detection of post-merger remnants from approximately one per few decades with two A+ detectors to a few per year and potentially allow for the first gravitational-wave observations of supernovae, isolated neutron stars, and other exotica.

Objective:
Executive functions (EF) drive health and educational outcomes and therefore are increasingly common treatment targets. Most treatment trials rely on questionnaires to capture meaningful change because ecologically valid, pediatric performance-based EF tasks are lacking. The Executive Function Challenge Task (EFCT) is a standardized, treatment-sensitive, objective measure which assesses flexibility and planning in the context of provocative social interactions, making it a “hot” EF task.
Method:We investigate the structure, reliability, and validity of the EFCT in youth with autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder; n = 129), or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with flexibility problems (n = 93), and typically developing (TD; n = 52) youth.
Results:The EFCT can be coded reliably, has a two-factor structure (flexibility and planning), and adequate internal consistency and consistency across forms. Unlike a traditional performance-based EF task (verbal fluency), it shows significant correlations with parent-reported EF, indicating ecological validity. EFCT performance distinguishes youth with known EF problems from TD youth and is not significantly related to visual pattern recognition, or social communication/understanding in autistic children.
Conclusions:The EFCT demonstrates adequate reliability and validity and may provide developmentally appropriate, treatment-sensitive, and ecologically valid assessment of “hot” EF in youth. It can be administered in controlled settings by masked administrators.

The hypersonic aeroelastic problem of a generic hypersonic vehicle having a lifting-body type fuselage and canted fins is studied using third order piston theory and Euler aerodynamics. Computational aeroelastic response results are used to obtain frequency and damping characteristics, and compared with those from piston theory solutions for a variety of flight conditions. Aeroelastic behavior is studied for the range of 2·5 < M < 28, at altitudes ranging from 10,000ft to 80,000ft. Because of the significant computational resources required, a study on optimal mesh selection was first carried out for use with Euler aerodynamics. The three dimensional flow effects captured using Euler aerodynamics was found to lead to significantly higher flutter boundaries when compared to those based on nonlinear piston theory. The results presented here illustrate some of the more important three dimensional effects that can be encountered in hypersonic aeroelasticity of complex configurations.

Probing behaviour (prior to parturition) and parturition of two clones (PS01 and N116) of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum on two genotypes (near-isogenic lines (NILs)) (Q174_5.13 and Q174_9.10) of Medicago truncatula were investigated using electrical penetration graph (EPG) coupled with simultaneous visual monitoring for parturition. Line Q174_5.13 has been reported to show a phloem-based resistance to feeding in the clone PS01 but to be susceptible to the clone N116, whereas Q174_9.10 has shown to be susceptible to both aphid clones. The time taken to first parturition by clone PS01 was similar on Q174_5.13 and Q174_9.10. Prior to parturition, no aphids on Q174_5.13 contacted phloem, but 5% of the aphids on Q174_9.10 showed phloem salivation (recognized by EPG pattern E1). No phloem contact was observed with aphid clone N116 on either NILs of Medicago before first parturition occurred, and the time taken to first larviposition was similar on Q174_5.13 and Q174_9.10. The results indicate that the initiation of parturition of the clone PS01 and N116 on both NILs does not require the phloem contact and seems unchanged by a phloem-based resistance mechanism to feeding on Medicago. This finding suggests that host recognition and decisions about parturition occur before phloem contact or ingestion, and act independently on R-gene-mediated resistance.

In laboratory experiments, all stages of the Egyptian cotton-leaf worm (Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.)) were killed by exposure at 1–2%C for ten days, but the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae (Sulz.)) and the red spider mite (Tetranychus urticae (Koch)) were not controlled by this treatment. When exposed to methyl bromide, all the S. littoralis eggs tested were killed by a concentration × time product (CTP) of 44 mg h/litre at 18%C, but control of all stages of M. persicae and T. urticae required a CTP of at least 88 mg h/litre.

Objective:
To observe trends in the number of major otological procedures performed in England, in the context of advances in the understanding of disease.
Methods:The data used were obtained from the Hospital Episode Statistics statistical database, published by the UK Department of Health, for England, 1989 to 2005. Specific otological procedures were identified using the Classification of Surgical Operations and Procedures system (fourth revision) of the Office of Population, Censuses and Surveys. Trend analysis of different procedures was performed using exponential smoothing (using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 13 software).
Results:Our study did not confirm any reduction in the number of surgical procedures performed for cholesteatoma or otosclerosis. We noted a sharp decline in the number of endolymphatic sac surgical procedures performed, probably attributable to the increased use of intratympanic therapy.
Conclusion:The number of major otological procedures (other than endolymphatic sac surgery) was consistent over the period examined. The generally perceived reduction in the number of procedures performed by individual surgeons may be due to a dilutional effect. This can only support the need for subspecialisation, particularly regarding the training of junior surgeons.

The current status of SiC bulk growth is reviewed, while specific attention is given to the effect of defects in SiC substrates and epitaxial layers on device performance and yield. The progress in SiC wafer quality is reflected in the achievement of micropipe densities as low as 0.92 cm−2 for a 3-inch n-type 4H-SiC wafer, which provides the basis for a high yielding fabrication process of large area SiC power devices. Using a Murphy Probe Yield Analysis for the breakdown characteristics of 10 kV PiN diodes we have extracted an “effective” defect density for 4H-SiC material to be as low as 30 cm−2, providing valuable information to further isolate and address the specific material defects critical for device performance. We address the problematic degradation of the forward characteristics (Vf-drift) of bipolar SiC PiN diodes [CITE]. The underlying mechanism due to stacking fault formation in the epitaxial layers and possible effects of device processing are investigated. An improved device design is demonstrated, which effectively stabilizes this Vf-drift. We show the progression in the development of semi-insulating SiC grown by the sublimation technique from extrinsically doped material to high purity semi-insulating (HPSI) 4H-SiC bulk crystals of up to 100 mm diameter without resorting to the intentional introduction of elemental deep level dopants, such as vanadium. Uniform resistivities in 3-inch HPSI wafers greater than 3 × 1011 Ω-cm have been achieved. Secondary ion mass spectrometry, deep level transient spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance data suggest that the semi-insulating behavior in HPSI material originates from deep levels associated with intrinsic point defects. MESFETs produced on HPSI wafers are free of backgating effects and have resulted in the best combination of power density and efficiency reported to date for SiC MESFETs of 5.2 W/mm and 63% power added efficiency (PAE) at 3.5 GHz.

The surface coat of the infective larvae of the parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis was characterized with respect to its biophysical properties, morphology and composition. Labelling of larvae with the fluorescent surface probe PKH26 was lost after activation (by incubation in mammalian medium containing trypsin and bile), or following pronase treatment. Electron microscopical examination revealed that pronase treatment resulted in the loss of an amorphous surface layer only, further demonstrating the specificity of PKH26 for the larval surface coat. Surface coat shedding was inhibited by sodium azide and carbonyl cyanide, or by incubation of larvae at 4°C, suggesting the shedding process required metabolic energy. Pre-labelled, unactivated larvae demonstrated continuous slow surface coat shedding and could be re-labelled with PKH26, indicating that the shed coat is replaced in these parasites. However, pre-labelled larvae which were activated failed to re-label with the probe, suggesting that activation provides an irreversible trigger for surface changes. PKH26, therefore, is a useful marker for larval activation. Examination of the shed coat material by scanning electron microscopy revealed 2 types of morphologies; one comprising thin multilaminate sheets and the other of amorphous material with ridges producing a fingerprint-like motif. Western- and lectin-blotting of the shed coat material demonstrated 2 prominent entities; a 90 kDa glycoprotein, which bound Datura stramonium agglutinin and was resistant to N- and O-glycanase treatment and a 47–60 kDa set of protein(s). Analysis of the surface lipids by electrospray mass spectometry revealed the presence of lysophosphatidic acid (lysoPA, C14[ratio ]2) and an unidentifiable component of 339·4 Da. These two lipids constituted 36·9% and 36% by mass of surface coat lipids respectively. The presence of lysoPA was confirmed by thin layer chromatography, which also detected phosphatidic acid (PA). The polar lipids detected in solvent rinses of intact parasites by electrospray mass spectrometry were PI (C48[ratio ]4), PE (C40[ratio ]4 and C38[ratio ]4), PS (C40[ratio ]4), lysoPC (C20[ratio ]2 and C18[ratio ]2) and lysoPA (C14[ratio ]2). These observations are discussed with respect to the role of the surface coat and its shedding in the T. spiralis host–parasite relationship.

The dielectric quality (defect density, Do and breakdown strength, Fbd) of 150Å SiO2 gate oxide (GOX) films grown by conventional or stacked oxidation scheme are discussed from the leakage measurements of polysilicon capacitors on test structure simulating our submicron CMOS process. Various polysilicon (poly) deposition processes from silane pyrolysis (570°C -620°C) were used by the low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) technique. Both in situ and ex situ poly doping by phosphorus (P) were used to ascertain their impact on the GOX properties. The substructural characteristics of the poly/SiO2 and SiO2/Si interfaces generated by various combinations of GOX and poly deposition processes were done by the high resolution TEM lattice fringe technique under phase contrast mode.
