A preference-based semantics for CTD reasoning

In [8] the authors developed a logical system based on the definition of a new non-classical connective ⊗ capturing the notion of reparative obligation. The system proved to be appropriate for handling well-known contrary-to-duty paradoxes but no model-theoretic semantics was presented. In this paper we fill the gap and define a suitable possible-world semantics for the system for which we can prove soundness and completeness. The semantics is a preference-based non-normal one extending and generalizing semantics for classical modal logics.

Preparation and NMR spectra of four isomeric diformyl2.2]paracyclophanes (cyclophanes 66)

Four isomeric dialdehydes 4, readily available from cycloaddition of propiolic aldehyde (2) to 1,2,4,5-hexatetraene (1), were separated by chromatography and recrystallization, and were characterized by their spectroscopic data. The individual isomers can now be easily identified from their H-1 NMR spectra even if only one of them is present.

An algebraic formulation of static isotropy and design of statically isotropic 6–6 Stewart platform manipulators

In this paper, we present an algebraic method to study and design spatial parallel manipulators that demonstrate isotropy in the force and moment distributions. We use the force and moment transformation matrices separately, and derive conditions for their isotropy individually as well as in combination. The isotropy conditions are derived in closed-form in terms of the invariants of the quadratic forms associated with these matrices. The formulation is applied to a class of Stewart platform manipulator, and a multi-parameter family of isotropic manipulators is identified analytically. We show that it is impossible to obtain a spatially isotropic configuration within this family. We also compute the isotropic configurations of an existing manipulator and demonstrate a procedure for designing the manipulator for isotropy at a given configuration.

Determinación del costo del beneficio húmedo del café, en el departamento de Nueva Segovia, durante el ciclo agrícola 1965/66

El presente trabajo sirve como una modesta contribución a los estudios que sobre el cultivo del café y su beneficio deben todavía hacerse en Nicaragua y como tema de tesis para el autor. El objetivo fue investigar el costo de la fase húmeda del beneficio húmedo, conocida también con este ultimo nombre, en el departamento de Nueva Segovia. Para ello se elaboro una boleta con 7 secciones en base a las diferentes operaciones que se suceden durante el beneficio y los gastos variables y fijos que ellas ocasionan. Se determinaron los centros productores de café y se estimo encuestas del 10 al 20% de la superficie departamental sembrada con café, agrupando todas las explotaciones que siembran café en tres stratos: de 1 a 100 manzanas, de 100 a 500 manzanas y 500 y mas manzanas, de los cuales al primero correspondería el mayor porcentaje de la muestra, al segundo el porcentaje intermedio y al tercero, el menor. La encuesta se realizo del 23 de enero al 9 de febrero inclusive de 1966, actuando de empadronador único el autor del trabajo. Se obtuvo como muestra el 16.1% del área sembrada con café en el departamento y la información obtenida se vació en una manta-cartulina preparada al efecto. por municipio. Por aparte se obtuvo la misma información, por strato. La encuesta abarco un total de 34 productores propietarios de 42 fincas en las que se siembra café, las que se encuentran agrupadas en 36 unidades de explotación. Los datos recopilados convenientemente dieron como resultado que en el departamento de Nueva Segovia el costo del beneficio húmedo de 1 quintal oro de café en el ciclo agrícola 1965/66, fue de C$35.60 (Treinticinco córdobas y sesenta centavos de córdobas). La proporción en que los stratos se acercan o se alejan del promedio departamental se atribuye a la eficiencia o deficiencia de las técnicas administrativas empleadas.

Nutrient Enhanced Coastal Ocean Productivity (NECOP). Data report: CTD and hydrographic data, R/V Pelican cruise, April 3-11, 1993

The Nutrient Enhanced Coastal Ocean Productivity (NECOP) Program is a component of NOAA's Coastal Ocean Program. The central hypothesis of this research is: Anthropogenic nutrient inputs have enhanced coastal ocean productivity with subsequent impacts on coastal ocean water quality, living resource yields, and the global marine carbon cycle. The initial study area for this program is the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Outflow and adjacent Louisiana shelf region.

The 66 k-Da protein identified as a light meromyosin is involved in the setting of surimi

The 66 kilo-Dalton (k-Da) protein split off from the cross linked myosin heavy chain (CMHC) formed due to the setting of Alaska pollack surimi, frozen-storage of Pacific cod flesh, and vinegar-curing of Pacific mackerel mince was identified as a light meromyosin (LMM). Puncture and stress-relaxation tests showed that the actomyosin subunits (AMS) of Alaska pollack surimi, upon setting at 30°C, transformed into gel, although the elasticity of this gel was very low when compared to the gels from surimi or actomyosin (AM). Electrophoretic studies showed that the band due to LMM in the gel from AMS gradually disappeared with the progress of setting but higher molecular weight polymer did not form. The intensity of the bands due to other myosin sub-fragments decreased a little. The findings suggest that at setting temperature, LMM of MHC molecule leads to an unfolding resulting in an intramolecular aggregation through non-covalent interactions, and thus plays a significant role in the crosslinking of MHC.
