Thermal and crystalline properties of random copolymer of CL and DTC prepared by La(OAr)(3)

Thermal and crystalline properties of random copolymer of epsilon-caprolactone (CL) and 2,2-dimethyl trimethylene carbonate (DTC) prepared by lanthanum tris(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenolate) (La(OAr)(3)) have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Fox equation interprets the relationship between glass transition temperature (T-g) and copolymer compositions. T-g decreases from PDTC (16.7degreesC) to PCL (-65.1degreesC), reflecting the internal plasticizing effect of CL units on DTC units in the copolymers. The introduction of CL units to PDTC can effectively improve its heat resistance. Small amount of DTC (5% molar) in PCL chain improves the mechanical properties of the polymer, which had elongation of 1000, much higher than that of PCL (8.8).

Controllo sensorless di attuatori tubolari pentafase

L'elaborato si pone l'obiettivo di sviluppare un controllo sensorless di posizione per un attuatore tubolare pentafase anisotropo a magneti permanenti. Le peculiarità degli attuatori tubolari sono molteplici: assenza di organi di trasmissione del moto; compattezza; elevate densità di forza e prestazioni nella dinamica, con una più ampia banda passante per il sistema di controllo; maggiore precisione, risoluzione, ripetibilità ed affidabilità. Tale tipologia di macchina è pertanto molto interessante in diverse applicazioni quali robotica, automazione, packaging, sistemi di posizionamento ecc., ed è altresì promettente nei settori aerospaziale e automotive. L'azionamento in studio è inoltre di tipo multifase. In tal caso si ottengono diversi vantaggi: possibilità di suddividere la potenza su un numero elevato di rami del convertitore; capacità di lavorare in condizioni di guasto; incremento della densità di coppia della macchina; possibilità di controllare in modo indipendente e con un solo inverter più macchine collegate in serie. Prestazioni migliori della macchina si possono ottenere con un opportuno sistema di controllo. Nel caso di azionamenti a magneti permanenti risulta particolarmente attraente il controllo di tipo sensorless della posizione rotorica, in alternativa ad un encoder o un resolver. Questo aumenta l'affidabilità, riduce i costi e diminuisce l'ingombro complessivo dell'azionamento. Appare molto interessante l'utilizzo di un azionamento tubolare di tipo multifase, e ancor più lo sviluppo di un apposito controllo di posizione di tipo sensorless. L’algoritmo sensorless di stima della posizione dell’attuatore può essere sviluppato partendo dall’anisotropia di macchina, sfruttando la possibilità peculiare delle macchine multifase di estrarre informazioni sullo stato attraverso i molteplici gradi di libertà presenti. Nel caso in questione si tratta del controllo della terza armonica spaziale del campo magnetico al traferro. Fondamentale è la definizione di un modello matematico in grado di rappresentare in modo opportuno l’anisotropia di macchina. In letteratura non sono ancora presenti modelli adatti a descrivere il dispositivo in questione; pertanto una parte essenziale della tesi è stata dedicata a definire tale modello e a verificarne la validità. Partendo dal modello è possibile dunque sviluppare un appropriato algoritmo di controllo sensorless e rappresentare in simulink l'intero azionamento. Nella parte conclusiva del lavoro di tesi vengono presentate le prove sperimentali, finalizzate alla determinazione dei parametri di macchina e alla verifica del funzionamento del sistema di controllo. Infine sono confrontati i risultati ottenuti rispetto a quelli realizzati con controlli di tipo tradizionale.

Antidepressant direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising and public stigma of depression : the mediating role of perceived prevalence of depression

This study examines whether memory of antidepressant direct-to-consumer (DTC) prescription drug advertising is associated with the public stigma attached to depression. Results indicate that those who better remember antidepressant DTC ads tend to have a higher perceived prevalence of depression (i.e., more people suffer from depression). And, the perceived prevalence of depression is inversely associated with the public stigma toward depression. That is, those who have a higher perceived prevalence of depression report that they are more supportive of and comfortable with people who have depression. The results suggest that the perceived prevalence of depression is a mediating variable that accounts for the relationship between memory of antidepressant DTC ads and the public stigma toward depression. The implications and limitations of the study, as an exploratory investigation, are discussed.

No Exit from the gaze: Sartre’s theory facilitated through aspects of Meisner’s practice

This article explores the theory/practice nexus in performance and considers a method for the transfer of theory in rehearsal and performance. In a 2011 production of Jean-Paul Sartre’s "No Exit", rehearsal, performance and post-performance exercises were devised to facilitate an understanding of Sartre’s existential concepts for audiences based on Sanford Meisner’s techniques. In this production, Sartre’s theory of “the gaze” was “practiced” by actors and audience members opening up new perspectives on the conflation of theory and practice in theatre productions.

Pressure effect on the phase transition of trissarcosine calcium chloride

The dielectric measurement of ferroelectric trissarcosine calcium chloride (TSCC) was made under various pressures up to 6 kbar. A striking decrease in the peak value of the permittivity, epsilon r, at the transition temperature, Tc, was observed with increasing pressure. The value of Tc increases linearly with a pressure coefficient dTc/dp=11.1K kbar-1 at low pressures. This increase in Tc supports the suggestion that the ferroelectric transition is of the pure order-disorder type. It is suggested on the basis of the behaviour of epsilon r with pressure that the order of the ferroelectric transition changes from second to first order on application of pressure.

Direct torque control schemes for split-phase induction machine

In this paper, direct torque control (DTC) algorithms for a split-phase induction machine (SPIM) are established. An SPIM has two sets of three-phase stator windings, with a shift of thirty electrical degrees between them. The significant contributions of this paper are: 1) two new methods of DTC technique for an SPIM are developed, called Resultant Flux Control Method and Individual Flux Control Method and 2) advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed. High torque ripple is a disadvantage for three-phase DTC. It is found that torque ripple in an SPIM can be significantly reduced without increasing the switching frequency.

Effect of pressure on the dielectric properties of DTAAP

Effect of pressure on the dielectric properties of ferroelectric DTAAP has been carried out upto about 4 Kbars. The dTc/dP value was found to be -1.65°C/Kbar. It was noted that the value of dTc/dP is 1.63 times smaller in DTAAP as compared to TAAP, where as Tc itself is 1.13 times larger.

A High Pressure Study of the Phase Diagram and the Critical Exponent β of Binary Liquid Systems

The pressure dependence of critical parameters xc, Tc, and β have been analysed in four systems namely cyclohexane + acetic anhydride, n-heptane + acetic anhydride, methanol + n-heptane, and carbon disulphide + acetonitrile. The separation temperature was found to increase linearly with pressure the value of dTc/dP being 28 mK, 11 mK, 22 mK, and 25 mK respectively. These are in fair agreement with earlier measurements available for two systems. For the methanol + n-heptane system dTc/dP is apparently not consistent with the value predicted from the specific heat and thermal expansion data.Die Druckabhängigkeit der kritischen Parameter xc, Tc und β ist in den vier Systemen Cyclohexan + Essigsäureanhydrid, n-Heptan + Essigsäureanhydrid, Methanol + n-Heptan und Schwefelkohlenstoff + Acetonitril analysiert worden. Es wurde gefunden, daß die kritische Temperatur linear mit dem Druck ansteigt. Die Werte für dTc/dP betragen 28 mK, 11 mK, 22 mK und 25 mK. Sie sind in guter überein-stimmung mit früheren Messungen an zweien dieser Systeme. Für Methanol + n-Heptan stimmt der Wert für dT/dP offensichtlich nicht mit Werten, die mit Hilfe von Daten für die spezifische Wärme und die thermische Ausdehnung vorhergesagt wurden, überein.

Fast Direct Torque Control of an Open-End Induction Motor Drive Using 12-Sided Polygonal Voltage Space Vectors

A torque control scheme, based on a direct torque control (DTC) algorithm using a 12-sided polygonal voltage space vector, is proposed for a variable speed control of an open-end induction motor drive. The conventional DTC scheme uses a stator flux vector for the sector identification and then the switching vector to control stator flux and torque. However, the proposed DTC scheme selects switching vectors based on the sector information of the estimated fundamental stator voltage vector and its relative position with respect to the stator flux vector. The fundamental stator voltage estimation is based on the steady-state model of IM and the synchronous frequency of operation is derived from the computed stator flux using a low-pass filter technique. The proposed DTC scheme utilizes the exact positions of the fundamental stator voltage vector and stator flux vector to select the optimal switching vector for fast control of torque with small variation of stator flux within the hysteresis band. The present DTC scheme allows full load torque control with fast transient response to very low speeds of operation, with reduced switching frequency variation. Extensive experimental results are presented to show the fast torque control for speed of operation from zero to rated.

Phonon anomalies and structural transition in spin ice Dy2Ti2O7: a simultaneous pressure-dependent and temperature-dependent Raman study

We revisit the assignment of Raman phonons of rare-earth titanates by performing Raman measurements on single crystals of O18 isotope-rich spin ice Dy2Ti2O718 and nonmagnetic Lu2Ti2O718 pyrochlores and compare the results with their O16 counterparts. We show that the low-wavenumber Raman modes below 250 cm-1 are not due to oxygen vibrations. A mode near 200 cm-1, commonly assigned as F2g phonon, which shows highly anomalous temperature dependence, is now assigned to a disorder-induced Raman active mode involving Ti4+ vibrations. Moreover, we address here the origin of the new Raman mode, observed below TC similar to 110 K in Dy2Ti2O7, through a simultaneous pressure-dependent and temperature-dependent Raman study. Our study confirms the new mode to be a phonon mode. We find that dTC/dP = + 5.9 K/GPa. Temperature dependence of other phonons has also been studied at various pressures up to similar to 8 GPa. We find that pressure suppresses the anomalous temperature dependence. The role of the inherent vacant sites present in the pyrochlore structure in the anomalous temperature dependence is also discussed. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
