Measurements of the heat capacity of an azeotropic mixture of water and n-butanol from 78 to 320 K

Molar heat capacities of n-butanol and the azeotropic mixture in the binary system [water (x=0.716) plus n-butanol (x=0.284)] were measured with an adiabatic calorimeter in a temperature range from 78 to 320 K. The functions of the heat capacity with respect to thermodynamic temperature were established for the azeotropic mixture. A glass transition was observed at (111.9 +/- 1.1) K. The phase transitions took place at (179.26 +/- 0.77) and (269.69 +/- 0.14) K corresponding to the solid-liquid phase transitions of. n-butanol and water, respectively. The phase-transition enthalpy and entropy of water were calculated. A thermodynamic function of excess molar heat capacity with respect to temperature was established, which took account of physical mixing, destructions of self-association and cross-association for n-butanol and water, respectively. The thermodynamic functions and the excess thermodynamic ones of the binary systems relative to 298.15 K were derived based on the relationships of the thermodynamic functions and the function of the measured heat capacity and the calculated excess heat capacity with respect to temperature.

Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben (Sudetes, SW Poland): biostratigraphical and palaeogeographical implications

The ammonites Lewesiceras peramplum Mantell and ?Lewesiceras sp. are reported from the Upper Cretaceous in the Nysa Kłodzka Graben; they date from the Middle Turonian and ?Coniacian, respectively. The Middle Turonian limestones of the Stara Bystrzyca quarry contain an abundant assemblage of inoceramids (Inoceramus cuvieri Sowerby and I. lamarcki Parkinson) and other bivalves, including oysters, as well as brachiopods and trace fossils. Micropalaeontological data show the presence of foraminifers and siliceous sponge spiculae, bryozoans, ostracods and fragments of bivalves and gastropods. The Middle Turonian calcareous deposits belongs to the upper part of the Inoceramus lamarcki Zone (late Middle Turonian) and were deposited on a shallow, subtidal offshore shelf. They overlie the Middle Turonian Bystrzyca and Długopole Sandstones, which represent foreshore-shoreface delta deposits. The fossil assemblage suggests a moderate- to low-energy, normal-salinity environment with occasionally an oxygen deficit.

Zrození autobiografického subjektu. Máchův intimní deník a moderní básnické deníky ve vztahu k romantické ideji subjektivismu

My text is an attempt to apply Charles Taylor’s theory, dealing with the origins of the modern self, to Czech autobiographical literature originating in Romanticism. Taking a cue from Jean Starobinski and Philippe Lejeune’s concepts of modern autobiography, I analyse Karel Hynek Mácha’s personal diary from 1835 and try to find and emphasize its narrative and compositional aspects, which anticipate the poetics of modern poetic diaries.

Abstract. The paper presents a list of 437 verbs which have not been recorded in lexicography. As the source of reference, the author consulted a spelling dictionary of the Polish language, Wielki słownik ortograficzny PWN, 2nd edition, 2006. The concept of this paper originated from the wish to satisfy the curiosity after reading Indeks neologizmów [Index of Neologisms] prepared by Krystyna Waszakowa in her work Przejawy internacjonalizacji w słowotwórstwie współczesnej polszczyzny [Word-formative internationalisation processes in modern Polish]. The index contains a list of nouns. Given that K. Waszakowa did not take verbs into account (there are far (?) fewer neo-verbs than neo-nouns), the author decided to find out whether it is true that the number of verb neologisms is so small that their philological analysis is pointless from the point of view of research, vocabulary registration, etc. If nouns, such as podczłowiek, miniokupacja, redefinicja, are of interest, why not record the prefixal constructions of the do-, z-, od-, na-, w-, wy-, za-, od-, nad- etc. -robić type? The analysis included randomly selected texts from the „Rzeczpospolita” daily (without any thorough preparation with respect to the content; the texts available were sequentially analysed until the satisfactory result was obtained). The texts under review included an incomplete (it is virtually impossible to determine completeness in this case) electronic archive from the years 1993–2006.

This article is a continuation of a four-piece work describing the condition of soil in what has been broadly defined as central Poznań. This article presents the content of active forms of six chemical elements which tend to be absorbed by plants in biggest quantities. Relations between these chemical elements are discussed and indications are made of how to counteract the negative effects of deficits as well as overdoses of specific chemical elements in the substrate.

Comparison of K-ary N-cube and de Bruijn Overlays in QoS-Constrained Multicast Applications

Research on the construction of logical overlay networks has gained significance in recent times. This is partly due to work on peer-to-peer (P2P) systems for locating and retrieving distributed data objects, and also scalable content distribution using end-system multicast techniques. However, there are emerging applications that require the real-time transport of data from various sources to potentially many thousands of subscribers, each having their own quality-of-service (QoS) constraints. This paper primarily focuses on the properties of two popular topologies found in interconnection networks, namely k-ary n-cubes and de Bruijn graphs. The regular structure of these graph topologies makes them easier to analyze and determine possible routes for real-time data than complete or irregular graphs. We show how these overlay topologies compare in their ability to deliver data according to the QoS constraints of many subscribers, each receiving data from specific publishing hosts. Comparisons are drawn on the ability of each topology to route data in the presence of dynamic system effects, due to end-hosts joining and departing the system. Finally, experimental results show the service guarantees and physical link stress resulting from efficient multicast trees constructed over both kinds of overlay networks.

Evaluation of Speaker Normalization Methods for Vowel Recognition Using Fuzzy ARTMAP and K-NN

A procedure that uses fuzzy ARTMAP and K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) categorizers to evaluate intrinsic and extrinsic speaker normalization methods is described. Each classifier is trained on preprocessed, or normalized, vowel tokens from about 30% of the speakers of the Peterson-Barney database, then tested on data from the remaining speakers. Intrinsic normalization methods included one nonscaled, four psychophysical scales (bark, bark with end-correction, mel, ERB), and three log scales, each tested on four different combinations of the fundamental (Fo) and the formants (F1 , F2, F3). For each scale and frequency combination, four extrinsic speaker adaptation schemes were tested: centroid subtraction across all frequencies (CS), centroid subtraction for each frequency (CSi), linear scale (LS), and linear transformation (LT). A total of 32 intrinsic and 128 extrinsic methods were thus compared. Fuzzy ARTMAP and K-NN showed similar trends, with K-NN performing somewhat better and fuzzy ARTMAP requiring about 1/10 as much memory. The optimal intrinsic normalization method was bark scale, or bark with end-correction, using the differences between all frequencies (Diff All). The order of performance for the extrinsic methods was LT, CSi, LS, and CS, with fuzzy AHTMAP performing best using bark scale with Diff All; and K-NN choosing psychophysical measures for all except CSi.

Mancha Ojo de Rana (Cercospora sojina K. Hara) y su efecto sobre rendimiento y componentes industriales del grano de soja : proteína y aceite

La mancha ojo de rana (MOR), causada por Cercospora sojina K. Hara, se encuentra dentro del complejo de enfermedades fúngicas de fin de ciclo (EFC), que afectan al cultivo de soja (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) preferentemente en los estadíos reproductivos. Es una enfermedad común en la soja en la mayor parte de las regiones sojeras del mundo, incluyendo Argentina. Con los objetivos de (i) estudiar el efecto de MOR sobre rendimiento y calidad industrial del grano de soja y (ii) analizar la respuesta a distintos momentos de aplicación de estrobilurina+triazol durante el ciclo reproductivo del cultivo para disminuir el daño de esta enfermedad evitando pérdidas del rendimiento y de calidad del grano, se realizó un ensayo durante la campaña agrícola 2010-2011, en la localidad de Oncativo (Cordoba), que involucró 2 genotipos contrastantes en susceptibilidad a MOR. Se realizaron para cada cultivar cuatro tratamientos con una mezcla de triazol y estrobilurina: T1= aplicación en R3; T2= aplicación en R3+R5; T3= testigo enfermo (sin aplicación de fungicida) y T4= testigo sano (aplicacion cada 20 dias a partir de R1). Se determinó el nivel de incidencia y severidad de la enfermedad, rendimiento, número de grano por m2 (NGm2), peso de mil semillas (PMA), concentración de proteína (Pr) y aceite (Ac) del grano. Se observaron distintos niveles de severidad de MOR entre los tratamientos del cultivar DM3700. Todos los tratamientos que involucraron a DM3810 mostraron hojas sin manchas de MOR. Se encontró una correlación negativa entre la severidad de MOR y el rendimiento alcanzado por el cultivo. Los valores más elevados de severidad (37,3 por ciento de manchas foliares) se correspondieron con los rendimientos mas bajos (2117 kg ha-1) en el cultivar DM3700. Todos los tratamientos aplicados a DM3810 exhibieron los rendimientos mas elevados y no se diferenciaron estadisticamente entre si (3478 kg ha-1). DM3700 alcanzó rendimientos similares a DM3810 sólo cuando se aplicó la mezcla de fungicidas en T1 y T4, no diferenciándose entre si ambos tratamientos y mostrando un incremento en el rendimiento de aproximadamente 35,5 por ciento comparado con su testigo enfermo. Ambos componentes del rendimiento disminuyeron en el testigo enfermo DM3700; sin embargo, las reducciones en el NGm2 fueron más pronunciadas que las del PMAj y; por lo tanto, disminuciones en el NGm2 parecían ser el principal componente de la pérdida de rendimiento. No se observaron incrementos de rendimiento, NGm2 y/o PMAj atribuídos a la mezcla estrobilurinas + triazoles en los tratamientos que involucraron a DM3810 ante ausencia de MOR. La severidad máxima alcanzada por MOR en el genotipo mas susceptible (37,3 por ciento) de area foliar dañada en el tratamiento enfermo de DM3700) no fue suficiente como para causar disminución significativa en la acumulación del aceite. Según nuestro conocimiento este trabajo es el primero en demostrar que genotipos susceptibles a MOR disminuyen su rendimiento, pero no la calidad química del grano, si la severidad es . 37,3 por cientoy pueden ser controlados con una única aplicación de estrobilurina+triazol en R3. Concluyéndose que la elección de genotipos poco susceptibles a MOR (como DM3810) es efectiva para controlar C. sojina, sin beneficios adicionales en el rendimiento debidos a la aplicacion de fungicidas.
