Nonexponential polymer segmental motion in the presence and absence of ions: 2H NMR multitime correl...

June 2007 · The Journal of Chemical Physics

The authors measure 2H NMR multitime correlation functions to investigate the segmental motion of poly(propylene glycol) containing various amounts of the salt LiClO4. 2H NMR two-time correlation functions indicate that addition of salt affects not only the time scale of the segmental motion, but also the degree of the nonexponential relaxation behavior. To quantify the origin of the ... [Show full abstract] nonexponential segmental motion, the authors analyze 2H NMR three-time correlation functions. In general, nonexponential relaxation can result from homogeneous dynamics, i.e., intrinsic nonexponentiality, and from heterogeneous dynamics, i.e., existence of a distribution of correlation times G(ln tau). For the studied high and low salt concentrations, including neat poly(propylene glycol), the analysis shows that both homogeneous and heterogeneous contributions are important. 2H NMR four-time correlation functions allow the authors to measure the lifetime of the dynamical heterogeneities. For the studied salt concentrations, the rate exchange occurs on the same time scale as the segmental motion, indicating short-lived dynamical heterogeneities. To arrive at these results, the authors reconsider the interpretation of (2)H NMR three-time correlation functions. Results of analytical calculations and computer simulations show that it is necessary to extend the previous way of analysis so as to include effects due to correlated back-and-forth jumps.

Study Regarding the Speed Analysis on Approach at Junior III, Pole Vault Salt

July 2015 · Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences

One of the most complex, fascinating and challenging athletic events is the pole vault. One of the key factors to achieve performance in athletics, in jumping in general and at pole vault sault in particular, is on approach speed achieved. Hypothesis we started in conducting the research was to determine whether approach affects the final performance obtained. The aim of the study was to ... [Show full abstract] determine the approach speed at the pole vault jumper in the final stage of Athletics National Championship Junior III held in Bacau, in March 2014. For this purpose, we have used Microgate race timer 2 device for data collection. The speed was measured in the last 10 m of the approach run as follows: the first pair of photocells was set to 4 m from the end of the box support the second pair of photocells were located at 9 m from the end of the box support and 5 m from the first pair of photocells, the 3rd pair of photocells were set at 14 m from the end of the box support and a 5 m from the second pair of photocells and 10 m from the first pair of photocells. Thus we obtain the speed on the last 10m and the results can indicate if we have an accelerate or decelerating speed on approach. The results were analyzed using SPSS 20 software and also the results were compared with those of world champions at this athletic event.. A higher value for the parameters of specific speed V1 and V2 leads to the possibility of using higher pols with a higher flexibility index and this final leads to a better result

Mesozoicseafloor Spread Ing Bordering Conjugate Continental Margins Of Angola And Brazil

January 1978

The seaward edges of the Brazil and Angola-Gabon salt plateaus are defined by geophysical observations. Paleo-reconstruction of the South Atlantic Ocean to the salt edges suggests that the salt was formed in one continuous basin. After the deposition of the salt, an eastward migration of the paleo-mid-ocean ridge axis of approximately 200km caused a major asymmetry in part of what is now the salt ... [Show full abstract] basins. Magnetic lineations are observed on the Sao Paulo Plateau, which form a pattern symmetrical about the center of the constructed salt basins. The axis of symmetry of the magnetic anomalies delineates the position of the extinct spreading axis. It is suggested that spreading between the time of early opening of the South Atlantic in the Valanginian and the time of the salt deposition and ridge crest jump in the latest Aptian.

Manual percussive drilling was used for drilling at more substantial depths, and especially for advancing the bore hole through harder rocks than it was possible to reach by hand digging. Hand digging placed workers at the bottom of the well with shovels, pickaxes and buckets and it was very risky to dig over 250-330 feet (80-100 meters) because of the risk of structural failures, heat, and lack ... [Show full abstract] of oxygen. In the United States, early percussion drilling for salt brine deposits mixed with petroleum are recorded at the beginning of the 19th century. Excavations were propelled by a man kicking into a rope loop or jumping on a spring-loaded platform.
