The effect of acid type and concentration on the reaction rate and products of dissolution of hectorite in inorganic acids was investigated. The dissolution of hectorite in hydrochloric (HCl), nitric (HNO3) and sulphuric (H2SO4) acids was characterized using quantitative chemical analysis, infrared (IR) and multinuclear MAS NMR spectroscopies. The rate of dissolution increased with acid concentration and decreased in the order HCl ≥ HNO3 = H2SO4 at the same molar concentration. No differences were found in the reaction products of hectorite treated with the three acids. The rate of Li dissolution was slightly greater than that of Mg at lesser acid concentrations (0.25 M), indicating that protons preferentially attack Li octahedra. The gradual changes in the Si-O IR bands reflects the extent of hectorite dissolution. The analysis of 29Si MAS NMR spectra relative peak intensities with dissolution time and acid concentration provided direct dissolution rates for tetrahedral (Q3) Si. After acid dissolution, most Si was bound in a three dimensional framework site (Q4), but a substantial part also occurred in the Si(OSi)3OH (Q31OH) and Si(OSi)2(OH)2 (Q220H) environments. These three sites probably occur in a hydrous amorphous silica phase. Both AlJV and AlVt rapidly disappeared from 27Al MAS NMR spectra of the dissolution products with acid treatment. The changes in IR and MAS NMR spectra of hectorite due to acid dissolution are similar to those of montmorillonite.

This paper compares the results of 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Al-K-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) of natural imogolite and allophanes and some crystalline reference minerals. All soil allophanes studied contain 4-coordinated Al (AlIV). The highest relative proportion of AlIV, 21% of the total Al, was found in Si-rich allophane. This value is close to that found in spring allophanes, which were previously considered to be different from soil allophanes. For a quantitative determination of the AlIV/Altotal ratio, NMR is more reliable than XANES, because of the sensitivity of the chemical shift to low AlIV concentrations, but XANES may be used even if paramagnetic impurities (mostly Fe) are present. Al-K XANES also yields more information than NMR on the local environment of AlVI and especially site multiplicity. AlVI XANES of imogolite and allophanes are similar regardless of the Al/Si ratio. They yield two well-resolved resonances with maxima near 1568 and 1570 eV, which indicates the presence of a unique AlVI site by comparison with crystalline references. The presence of only one AlVI site indicates that imogolite and allophanes have an octahedral sheet with a structure similar to 2/1 dioctahedral phyllosilicates but different from gibbsite or kaolinite, previously considered as structural analogues. The 27AlIV MAS NMR peak maxima of allophanes are between 58.6 and 59.8 ppm, in the range observed for crystalline and amorphous framework alumino-silicates, and less positive than those of sheet silicates, which are typically in the range 65–75 ppm. 27Al-H1 CPMAS NMR spectra suggest that both AlIV and AlVI have Al-O-H linkages.

High-fidelity measurements of velocity and concentration are carried out in a neutral jet (NJ) and a negatively buoyant jet (NBJ) by injecting a jet of fresh water vertically downwards into ambient fresh and saline water, respectively. The Reynolds number ($Re$) based on the pipe inlet diameter ($d$) and the source velocity ($W_o$) is approximately 5900 in all the experiments, while the source Froude number based on density difference is approximately 30 in the NBJ experiments. Velocity and concentration measurements are obtained in the region $17 \leq z/d \leq 40$ ($z$ being the axial coordinate) using particle image velocimetry and planar laser induced fluorescence techniques, respectively. Consistent with the literature on jets, the centreline velocity ($W_c$) decays as $z^{-1}$ in the NJ, but in the NBJ, $W_c$ decays faster along $z$ due to the action of negative buoyancy. Nonetheless, the mean velocity ($W$) and concentration ($C$) profiles in both the flows exhibit self-similar Gaussian form, when scaled by the local centreline parameters ($W_c,C_c$) and the jet half-widths ($r^\ast _{W},r^\ast _{C}$). On the other hand, the turbulence statistics and Reynolds stress in the NBJ do not scale with $W_c$. The results of autocorrelation functions, integral length scales and two-dimensional correlation maps show the similarity of turbulence structure in the NJ and the NBJ when the axial and radial distances are normalised by the local jet half-width. Further, the spectra and probability density functions are similar on the axis and only minor differences are seen near the jet interface. The above findings are fundamentally consistent with our recent analysis (Milton-McGurk et al., J. Fluid Mech., 2020b), where we observed that the mean and turbulence statistics in the NBJ have different development characteristics. Overall, we find that the turbulence structure of the NBJ (when scaled by local velocity and length scales) is very similar to the momentum-driven NJ, and the differences (e.g. spreading rate, scaling of turbulence intensities, etc.) between the NJ and the NBJ seem to be of secondary importance.

Simulation models are used widely in pharmacology, epidemiology and health economics (HEs). However, there have been no attempts to incorporate models from these disciplines into a single integrated model. Accordingly, we explored this linkage to evaluate the epidemiological and economic impact of oseltamivir dose optimisation in supporting pandemic influenza planning in the USA. An HE decision analytic model was linked to a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) – dynamic transmission model simulating the impact of pandemic influenza with low virulence and low transmissibility and, high virulence and high transmissibility. The cost-utility analysis was from the payer and societal perspectives, comparing oseltamivir 75 and 150 mg twice daily (BID) to no treatment over a 1-year time horizon. Model parameters were derived from published studies. Outcomes were measured as cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Sensitivity analyses were performed to examine the integrated model's robustness. Under both pandemic scenarios, compared to no treatment, the use of oseltamivir 75 or 150 mg BID led to a significant reduction of influenza episodes and influenza-related deaths, translating to substantial savings of QALYs. Overall drug costs were offset by the reduction of both direct and indirect costs, making these two interventions cost-saving from both perspectives. The results were sensitive to the proportion of inpatient presentation at the emergency visit and patients’ quality of life. Integrating PK/PD–EPI/HE models is achievable. Whilst further refinement of this novel linkage model to more closely mimic the reality is needed, the current study has generated useful insights to support influenza pandemic planning.

The entrainment of fluid across a sheared density interface has been examined experimentally in a purging cavity flow. In this flow, a long straight cavity with sloped entry and exit boundaries is located in the base of a straight open channel. Dense cavity fluid is entrained from the cavity into the turbulent overflow. The cavity geometry has been designed to ensure there is no separation of the overflow in the cavity region, with the goal of avoiding cavity-specific entrainment mechanisms as have been encountered in most previous experiments using similar arrangements. Results are obtained over a bulk Richardson number range $Ri_{b}=g\unicode[STIX]{x0394}\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}D/\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}_{0}U_{b}^{2}=1$ to 19, where $D$ and $U_{b}$ are the depth of the mixed layer and bulk velocity in the cavity, respectively. The experiments cover the Reynolds number range $Re=U_{b}D/\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}=7100$ to 15 100 and interface length to mixed layer depth ratios of 2.4 to 16. Particle image velocimetry and laser induced fluorescence measurements indicate the flow regime over this entire range is one dominated by the Holmboe wave instability. The non-dimensional entrainment rate, $E=u_{e}/U_{b}$, is shown to scale with the bulk Richardson number. We find that the entrainment scaling $E=CRi_{b}^{-1.38}$ applies over the entire experimental range, with no apparent dependence on interface length. The exponent in the scaling is similar to previous non-cavity-based sheared interface flows, however, the constant $C$ is up to an order of magnitude smaller. Close agreement is, however, obtained by instead correlating entrainment with the local gradient Richardson number centred on the interface, rather than bulk quantities. We obtain $E=0.0021Ri_{g}^{-0.63}$ for data over $10<Ri_{g}<50$, where $Ri_{g}=\langle g\unicode[STIX]{x2202}\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}/\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}_{0}\unicode[STIX]{x2202}z\rangle /\langle (\unicode[STIX]{x2202}U/\unicode[STIX]{x2202}z)^{2}\rangle$. The density interface is much thinner and therefore more stable in the present flow configuration compared with other published results for the same bulk Richardson number. We suggest that our configuration ensures a sharp mixing layer profile at the upstream end of the cavity even at relatively low bulk Richardson numbers of $Ri_{b}=1$ and that the reduced mixing in the Holmboe wave regime allows the interface to retain its sharp character over the cavity length, resulting in weak sensitivity to cavity length.

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent stratified flow in an open channel with an internal heat source following the Beer–Lambert law from the surface are used to investigate the transition from neutral to strongly stable flow. Our buoyancy bulk parameter is defined through the ratio of the domain height ${\it\delta}$ to $\mathscr{L}$ , a bulk Obukhov length scale for the flow. We cover the range ${\it\lambda}={\it\delta}/\mathscr{L}=0{-}2.0$ , from neutral conditions to the onset of the stable regime, with the Reynolds number range $Re_{{\it\tau}}=200{-}800$ , at a Prandtl number of 0.71. The result is a boundary layer flow where the effects of stratification are weak in the wall region but progressively stronger in the outer layer up to the free surface. At ${\it\lambda}\simeq 1$ the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget is in local equilibrium over a region extending from the near-wall region to a free-surface affected region a distance $l_{{\it\nu}}$ from the surface, with $l_{{\it\nu}}/{\it\delta}\sim Re^{-1/2}$ . In this equilibrium region the flow can be characterised by the flux Richardson number $R_{f}$ and the local Obukhov length scale ${\it\Lambda}$ . At higher ${\it\lambda}$ local mixing limit conditions are observed over an extended region. At ${\it\lambda}=2$ the flux Richardson number approaches critical limit values of $R_{f,c}\simeq 0.18$ and gradient Richardson number $Ri_{c}\simeq 0.2$ . At high ${\it\lambda}$ , we obtain a flow field where buoyancy interacts with the smallest scales of motion and the turbulent shear stress and buoyancy flux are suppressed to molecular levels. We find that this regime can be identified in terms of the parameter $Re_{\mathscr{L},c}=\mathscr{L}u_{{\it\tau}}/{\it\nu}\lesssim 200{-}400$ (where $u_{{\it\tau}}$ is the friction velocity and ${\it\nu}$ the kinematic viscosity), which is related to the $L_{\ast }$ parameter of Flores and Riley (Boundary-Layer Meteorol., vol. 139 (2), 2011, pp. 241–259) and buoyancy Reynolds number $\mathscr{R}$ . With energetic equilibrium attained, the local buoyancy Reynolds number, $Re_{{\it\Lambda}}={\it\Lambda}\langle u^{\prime }w^{\prime }\rangle ^{1/2}/{\it\nu}$ , is directly related to the separation of the Ozmidov ( $l_{O}$ ) and Kolmogorov ( ${\it\eta}$ ) length scales in the outer boundary layer by $Re_{{\it\Lambda}}\simeq \mathscr{R}\equiv (l_{O}/{\it\eta})^{4/3}$ . The inner wall region has the behaviour $\mathscr{R}\sim Re_{\mathscr{L}}Re_{{\it\tau}}$ , in contrast to stratified boundary layer flows where the buoyancy flux is non-zero at the wall and $\mathscr{R}\sim Re_{\mathscr{L}}$ .

This study considers the convective-type instability of the near-field flow of a planar, pure thermal plume with a finite area source. Previous studies revealed the existence of an off-axis thermal boundary-layer instability, driving a puffing instability in the central ascending column, and qualitatively showed correlations between instabilities in these two flow regions. This paper extends the analysis to examine the effect of Prandtl number on transitional near-field behaviours and reports on the stability characteristics of a near-field, pure thermal plume based on a direct stability analysis. The variations in flow behaviours in response to symmetric and asymmetric disturbances suggest the existence of coupled instability mechanisms in the off-axis thermal boundary layer and the central ascending column.

Numerical evidence is presented for previously unreported flow behaviour in a two-dimensional rectangular side-heated cavity partitioned in the centre by vertical wall with an infinite conductivity. In this flow heat is transferred between both sides of the cavity through the conducting wall with natural convection boundary layers forming on all vertical surfaces. Simulations have been conducted over the range of Rayleigh numbers at Prandtl number and at aspect ratios of where and are the height and width of the cavity. It was found that the thermal coupling of the boundary layers on either side of the conducting partition causes the cavity flow to become absolutely unstable for a Rayleigh number at which otherwise similar non-partitioned cavity flow is steady but convectively unstable. Additionally, unlike the non-partitioned cavity, which eventually bifurcates to a multi-modal oscillatory regime, this bifurcation is manifested as a single mode oscillation with , where is the temperature difference between the hot and cold walls, is the gravitational acceleration, is the oscillation frequency and and are the fluid viscosity and coefficient of thermal expansion respectively. The critical Rayleigh number for this transition occurs between for and for , indicating that the instability has an aspect ratio dependence.

We present the results of two imaging surveys for companions to low-luminosity dwarfs, one with Keck to a limiting magnitude of K = 20, and the other with HST to a limiting magnitude of I = 23. No companions were found at separations of 0″.5 to 20″.0, but seven companions were found within 0″.5. Based on sub-stellar evolutionary models, we estimate the companion detection efficiency as a function of mass ratio. This modeling, coupled with the data, place strong upper limits on the mass ratios of unobserved companions. We conclude that no companions exist in the optimal sensitivity regions of both surveys for q > 0.85 (HST), and q > 0.4 (Keck).

Polycrystalline Si (poly-Si) waveguides offer design flexibility and multilayered structures in Si-integrated photonic devices. However, as-deposited poly-Si surfaces are rough compared with single-crystalline Si, and a rough surface causes significant waveguide scattering loss at the surface. In this study, surface smoothing of poly-Si waveguides with a gas-cluster ion beam (GCIB) was demonstrated as a new smoothing technique. As the GCIB process is a directional ion-beam process, in principle it can be applied not only to plane surfaces but also to three-dimensional or non-flat structures, such as waveguide ridges.
The initial average roughness of as-deposited poly-Si films (625°C, 1 μm thick) ranged from 15 nm to 22 nm, and the grain sizes were distributed from 0.2 to 0.4μm. This rough surface was dramatically smoothed to a roughness of 1.5 nm by Ar cluster ion irradiation. From the relation between the sputtered depth and the surface roughness, the sputtered depth must be greater than the height difference of the roughness (peak-to-valley) to obtain smooth surfaces. Optical transmission losses at λ =1.54 μm were measured using cutback measurement from samples before and after the smoothing by GCIB. After surface smoothing with GCIB, the optical loss decreased from 85 dB/cm to 54 dB/cm.

In these days of war, with democracy facing the greatest challenge in its history, it would be a sad mistake for anyone to assume an attitude of smug complacency. Such would be disastrous if not literally treasonable. Educators, therefore, along with labor and industry, business and agriculture, need to re-examine and revaluate their contribution to the common welfare of the community. Engaged in a war that threatens the very existence of freedom of thought, scholarship, and teaching, educational leaders have an obligation to see that the best possible use is made of one of democracy's outstanding institutions—a free educational system. If the democratic nations fail to train men in good moral and intellectual habits, fail to produce men of keen insight and critical judgment, fail to give us free minds that can join in our struggle toward a better life for all the people of the world, they will have failed in one of their most important obligations to the human race, no matter how the struggle upon the field of battle may end.
