Determination of diffusion parameters and activation energy of diffusion in V3Si phase with A15 crystal structure

Diffusion such is the integrated diffusion coefficient of the phase, the tracer diffusion coefficient of species at different temperatures and the activation energy for diffusion, are determined in V3Si phase with A15 crystal structure. The tracer diffusion coefficient of Si Was found to be negligible compared to the tracer diffusion coefficient of V. The calculated diffusion parameters will help to validate the theoretical analysis of defect structure of the phase, which plays an important role in the superconductivity.

Interdiffusion and activation energy in Ti3Au phase with A15 crystal structure

The knowledge of diffusion parameters, such as integrated diffusion coefficient and the activation energy for diffusion is important to understand the growth rate of the product phase and the atomic mechanism of diffusion. These parameters are determined in Ti3Au phase with A15 crystal structure. The calculated diffusion parameters will help in validating the theoretical analysis on defect structure of the phase.

Diffusion Studies in A(3)B Compounds with A15 Structure

There is a constant effort to understand the defect structure and diffusion behavior in intermetallic compounds with the A15 structure. Diffusion of elements in intermetallic compounds depends mainly on antisites and vacancies on different sublattices. In this article, we shall discuss the diffusion of elements in A(3)B compounds with the A15 structure.

Diffusion of components via different modes during growth of the A15-V(3)Gaphase

Based on an interdiffusion study using an incremental diffusion couple in the V-Ga binary system, we have shown that V diffuses via the lattice, whereas Ga does so via grain boundaries, for the growth of the V3Ga phase. We estimate the contributions from the two different mechanisms, which are usually difficult to delineate in an interdiffusion study. Available tracer diffusion studies and the atomic arrangement in the crystal structure have been considered for a discussion on the diffusion mechanisms.

Living the indie life : mapping creative teams in a 48 hour game jam and playing with data

In contemporary game development circles the ‘game making jam’ has become an important rite of passage and baptism event, an exploration space and a central indie lifestyle affirmation and community event. Game jams have recently become a focus for design researchers interested in the creative process. In this paper we tell the story of an established local game jam and our various documentation and data collection methods. We present the beginnings of the current project, which seeks to map the creative teams and their process in the space of the challenge, and which aims to enable participants to be more than the objects of the data collection. A perceived issue is that typical documentation approaches are ‘about’ the event as opposed to ‘made by’ the participants and are thus both at odds with the spirit of the jam as a phenomenon and do not really access the rich playful potential of participant experience. In the data collection and visualisation projects described here, we focus on using collected data to re-include the participants in telling stories about their experiences of the event as a place-based experience. Our goal is to find a means to encourage production of ‘anecdata’ - data based on individual story telling that is subjective, malleable, and resists collection via formal mechanisms - and to enable mimesis, or active narrating, on the part of the participants. We present a concept design for data as game based on the logic of early medieval maps and we reflect on how we could enable participation in the data collection itself.

Land of Ludos : envisioning a game jam as storied space and game

The Land Of Ludos is a proposal or a design concept for a game that re-imagines the recorded Bluetooth device movements from the 2011 48 Hour Game Making Challenge as an interactive narrative experience. As game developers, the most interesting elements of the 48 Hour challenge data visualisation project is not measurement or analysis of process, but the relationships and narratives created during the experience.

Cultural Trauma and Life Stories

The purpose of this work is to use the concepts of human time and cultural trauma in a biographical study of the turning points in the recent history of Estonia. This research is primarily based on 148 in-depth biographical interviews conducted in Estonia and Sweden in 1995-2005, supplemented by excerpts from 5 collections and 10 individually published autobiographies. The main body of the thesis consists of six published and of two forthcoming separate refereed articles, summarised in the theoretical introduction, and Appendix of the full texts of three particular life stories. The topic of the first article is the generational composition and the collective action frames of anti-Soviet social mobilisation in Estonia in 1940-1990. The second article details the differentiation of the rites of passage and the calendar traditions as a strategy to adapt to the rapidly changed political realities, comparatively in Soviet Estonia and among the boat-refugees in Sweden. The third article investigates the life stories of the double-minded strategic generation of the Estonian-inclined Communists, who attempted to work within the Soviet system while professing to uphold the ideals of pre-war Estonia. The fourth article is concentrated on the problems of double mental standards as a coping strategy in a contradictory social reality. The fifth article implements the theory of cultural trauma for the social practice of singing nationalism in Estonia. The sixth article bridges the ideas of Russian theoreticians concerning cultural dialogue and the Western paradigm of cultural trauma, with examples from Estonian Russian life stories. The seventh article takes a biographical look at the logic of the unraveling of cultural trauma through four Soviet decades. The eighth article explores the re-shaping of citizen activities as a strategy of coping with the loss of the independent nation state, comparatively in Soviet Estonia and among Swedish Estonians. Cultural trauma is interpreted as the re-ordering of the society s value-normative constellation due to sharp, violent, usually political events. The first one under consideration was caused by the occupations of the Republic of Estonia by the Soviet army in 1940-45. After half a century of suppression the memories of these events resurfaced as different stories describing the long-term, often inter-generational strategies of coping with the value collapse. The second cultural trauma is revealed together with the collapse of the Soviet power and ideology in Estonia in 1991. According to empirical data, the following three trauma discourses have been reconstructed: - the forced adaptation to Soviet order of the homeland Estonians; - the difficulty of preserving Estonian identity in exile (Sweden); - the identity crisis of the Russian population of Estonia. Comparative analyses of these discourses have shown that opposing experiences and worldviews cause conflicting interpretations of the past. Different social and ethnic groups consider coping with cultural trauma as a matter of self-defence and create appropriate usable pasts to identify with.

向日葵（Helianthus annuus L.）种质资源的RAPD标记研究与应用

向日葵原产北美，通过人工培育，在不同生境上形成许多品种，具有丰富的遗传多态性，是一种集观赏植物、药用植物、油料作物于一体，经济价值很高的资源植物，产量高，具有较强的适应性。运用现代生物技术加强对向日葵种质资源的开发和保护，开展遗传多样性分析，加速新品种的选育，是当前向日葵研究工作的重点。随着现代生物技术的发展，从分子水平检测生物的遗传多态性已成为现实。本论文以向日葵生产中使用的基因型为实验材料，使用RAPD技术在向日葵种质资源遗传多态性分析以及向日葵杂交种种子纯度鉴定两方面进行了探讨。 采用RAPD 技术对我国21个向日葵基因型和11个国外的向葵基因型的遗传多态性进行分析。从80个10碱基随机引物中筛选出25个有效引物，在32个基因型中共扩增出188条DNA片段，其中164条带具有遗传多态性，约占总数的87.2%。使用NTSYS软件计算32个基因型间的Nei氏相似性系数，在此基础上通过非加权配对算术平均法（UPGMA）聚类，将32个向日葵基因型明显地聚成A、B两大类群。A类群包括21个国内向日葵基因型，并聚成了A1、A2二个亚类。B类群包括11个国外向日葵基因型，并划分为B1、B2两个亚类。根据聚类结果作出的遗传树谱图反映了所研究的向日葵基因型的亲缘关系。 在杂交种A15种子纯度鉴定中，从180个RAPD随机引物中扩增筛选出3个可将亲本和子代区分开的引物OPD09、OPD12和OPK12。OPD09产生亲本互补的特征带OPD09-1470bp、OPD09-870bp;OPD12产生母本特征带OPD12-1230bp，OPK12产生父本特征带OPK12-1540bp、OPK12-940bp，上述谱带均在子代中出现。以单引物（OPD09）和双引物（OPD12和OPK12）产生的这两组特征谱带作为分子标记分别对杂交油葵种子纯度进行鉴定得到了一致的结果，并与大田纯度检测结果基本符合。 实践表明，用RAPD对向日葵种质资源进行分析是可行的。
