AbstractIRTS is a small cryogenically cooled telescope onboard the small space platform SFU (Space Flyer Unit). SFU will be launched with the new Japanese HII rocket on January 1994 and retrieved by the space shuttle.The IRTS telescope has an aperture of only 15 cm diameter, but is optimized to observe diffuse extended infrared sources. Four focal plane instruments are being developed under collaboration between Japan and the U.S.A. IRTS covers a wide wavelength range from near-infrared to submillimeter region, and has a capability for the spectroscopic measurement. Due to newly developed detectors, the sky will be surveyed with very high sensitivities. IRTS will provide valuable data on cosmology, galactic structure, cosmic dust, etc.

Metaphor And Metonymy

AbstractPrevious studies claim there are few olfactory metaphors cross-linguistically, especially compared to metaphors originating in the visual and auditory domains. We show olfaction can be a source for metaphor and metonymy in a lesser-described language that has rich lexical resources for talking about odors. In Seri, an isolate language of Mexico spoken by indigenous hunter-gatherers, we find a novel metaphor for emotion never previously described – “anger stinks”. In addition, distinct odor verbs are used metaphorically to distinguish volitional vs. non-volitional states-of-affairs. Finally, there is ample olfactory metonymy in Seri, especially prevalent in names for plants, but also found in names for insects and artifacts. This calls for a re-examination of better-known languages for the overlooked role olfaction may play in metaphor and metonymy. The Seri language illustrates how valuable data from understudied languages can be in highlighting novel ways by which people conceptualize themselves and their world.

Purpose This article outlines the rationale and development process for an online intervention based on vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). The intervention aims to assist adults aged 50 years and older to self-manage and reduce dizziness symptoms. Method The intervention was developed according to the person-based approach to digital intervention design focused on accommodating perspectives of target users. A prototype version of the intervention was provided to 18 adults (11 women, 7 men) aged 50 years and older with dizziness. These adults were invited to use the intervention over a 6-week period and, during this time, took part in a think-aloud session. This session sought to understand users' perceptions of how acceptable, engaging, and easy to use they found the online intervention. Results Users were extremely positive regarding how easy to navigate, visually appealing, and informative they found the intervention. Think-aloud sessions provided valuable data for informing small amendments to further enhance acceptability of the intervention for target users. Conclusions Informed by these development-phase data, a finalized version of the intervention is now being investigated in a primary care–based randomized controlled trial. Results should provide an understanding of whether VRT can be effectively—especially, cost-effectively—delivered via an online intervention to adults aged 50 years and older.

Scientific Papers

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a prominent area of research with major applications in solar energy conversion, air pollution mitigation, and removal of contaminants from water. A large number of scientific papers related to the photocatalysis field and its environmental applications are published in different journals specializing in materials and nanomaterials. However, many problems exist in the conception of papers by authors unfamiliar with standard characterization methods of photocatalysts as well as with the procedures needed to determine photocatalytic activities based on the determination of “apparent quantum efficiencies” within a wavelength interval or “apparent quantum yields” in the case of using monochromatic light. In this regard, an astonishing number of recent research articles include claims of highly efficient (photo)catalysts or similar terms about materials with superior or enhanced efficiency for a given reaction without proper experimental support. Consequently, the comparison of the efficiencies of photocatalysts may result as being meaningless, especially when reports are only based on expressions determining (1) a reaction rate per weight of catalyst or its surface area, (2) quantum efficiencies or quantum yields, and (3) turnover frequencies or turnover numbers. Herein, we summarize the standards needed for reporting valuable data in photocatalysis and highlight some common discrepancies found in the literature. This work should inform researchers interested in reporting photocatalysis projects about the correct procedures for collecting experimental data and properly characterizing the materials by providing examples and key supporting literature.

Tests of bird strike have been carried out on plate made from LY-12 Aluminium. The test was down with the projectile impacting the target perpendicularly at velocity of 40m/s, 80m/s, 120m/s respectively. The displacement-time history curves and strain-time history curves of on LY-12 Aluminium plate were measured. The good agreement of the results between two specimens in one group indicated that the results tested in the presnet paper are reliable. The dynamic response of the plate and damage modes of the bird influenced by striking velocity were analyzed. The peak value of the displacement linear enlarged with the increasing of the striking velocity. The test results in the present paper provided valuable data for aircraft design impacted by bird, and also provided abundant test datas for the numerical simulation model applied in bird striking.

Oil Components

Asphaltenes are the most polar oil components with molecular weights between 500 and 1000 Da, which primarily consist of carbons and hydrogens, some heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen and traces of nickel, vanadium and iron. Owing to their extreme complexity, it is almost impossible to completely identify all the compounds present in asphaltene samples. Various analytical techniques and approaches were used to characterize asphaltenes but their structure and composition are still a matter of thorough investigations. NMR spectroscopy can reveal useful information on asphaltene molecular architecture and aggregation process. In that respect, one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques have widely been employed. Although NMR spectra of these complex mixtures are difficult to interpret, they still can provide valuable data, especially in combination with statistical methods. Some distinctive examples of using NMR spectroscopy to study asphaltenes are given in this review.

In this paper, a highly sensitive biosensor based on partially immobilized silver nanopillars is proposed. The working frequency of this sensor is in the terahertz band, and the range of the detected refractive index is 1.33 to 1.38. We set air holes of two different sizes on the cross-section of the optical fiber and arranged them into a hexagon. In order to improve the sensitivity, silver nanopillars were immobilized on part of the surface of the fiber cladding. The method for detecting the change of refractive index of the bio-analyte was based on local surface plasmon resonance properties of noble metal. The research recorded valuable data about the values of loss peak and full width at half maximum as well as resonance frequency shift under different setting conditions. The data present the biosensor‘s final sensitivity as 1.749 THz/RIU.

Now I turn to a brief summary of the content of some of the works specially devoted to the study of the cerebellar connections. I am not trying to collect all the literature related to this issue, but will confine myself only to the latest works produced with the help of the method most commonly used at the present time for solving questions about conducting paths, namely the method of rebirth. It must be said that a great service in this relationship was also rendered by the method of development, with the help of which a lot of valuable data were obtained, especially Bekhterev. But I will not dwell on them, since all the data obtained in the works of this author are set forth in the "Conducting Ways" and are already given above. As for the newest work performed according to the method of rebirth, all of them were carried out in such a way that one or another part of the cerebellum was damaged in the animal, or one or the other of its legs, and those regenerations were observed, which followed this damage. My works were produced in the same way, and therefore it is very easy to compare them with the works of other authors. This comparison is also favored by the fact that I produced the coloring of the preparations according to the Marchi method, which was also used by most of the researchers cited below.
