Alkaline electrochemical cells and method of making

Equilibrated cellulose ether membranes of increased electrolytic conductivity for use as separators in concentrated alkaline electrochemical cells are investigated. The method of making such membranes by equilibration to the degree desired in an aqueous alkali solution mantained at a temperature below about 10 C is described

Human and Professional Sustainable Development by Using the EFI ROM Creative Method

AbstractElaborated for the human and professional sustainable development of human resources within innovative enterprises by using creative techniques for rendering efficient own activities. A solution for promoting innovative management in the field of human resources in these units is the use of the own original creative method EFI-ROM. It can be applied to selfmanagement and all management hierarchical levels with responsibilities in short, medium and long-term decision. It was tested on the occasion of carrying out some innovative project. In the present paper we present an improved variant and adjusted to the specifics of innovative organizations

Semantic-aware Network for Aerial-to-Ground Image Synthesis

Aerial-to-ground image synthesis is an emerging and challenging problem that aims to synthesize a ground image from an aerial image. Due to the highly different layout and object representation between the aerial and ground images, existing approaches usually fail to transfer the components of the aerial scene into the ground scene. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to explore the challenges by imposing enhanced structural alignment and semantic awareness. We introduce a novel semantic-attentive feature transformation module that allows to reconstruct the complex geographic structures by aligning the aerial feature to the ground layout. Furthermore, we propose semantic-aware loss functions by leveraging a pre-trained segmentation network. The network is enforced to synthesize realistic objects across various classes by separately calculating losses for different classes and balancing them. Extensive experiments including comparisons with previous methods and ablation studies show the effectiveness of the proposed framework both qualitatively and quantitatively.Comment: ICIP 2021.

A model for the challenging "bi-drifting" phenomenon in PSR J0815+09

A new drifting pulsar, PSR J0815+09, was discovered in the Arecibo drift-scan searches. An intriguing feature of this source is that within the four pulse components in the integrated pulse profile, the sub-pulse drifting direction in the two leading components is opposite from that in the two trailing components. In view that the leading theoretical model for pulsar sub-pulse drifting can only interpret one-direction sub-pulse drifting, the observed "bi-drifting" phenomenon from PSR J0815+09 poses a great challenge to the pulsar theory. The inner annular gap (IAG), a new type of inner particle accelerator, was recently proposed to explain both $\gamma$-ray and radio emission from pulsars. Here we show that the coexistence of the IAG and the conventional inner core gap (ICG) offers a natural interpretation to the bi-drifting phenomenon. In particular, the peculiar drifting behavior in PSR J0815+09 can be reproduced within the inverse Compton scattering (ICS) model for pulsar radio emission.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, ApJL, accepte

La stazione geodetico-geofisica ipogea del Bus de la Genziana - Pian Cansiglio

Nel novembre del 2005 ha preso via la stazione geofisico-geodetica situata nel Bus de la Genziana sull'altopiano del Cansiglio. La stazione ha lo scopo di monitorare con continuita' l'inclinazione del terreno. Attualmente e' dotata di una coppia di clinometri. Nel presente lavoro viene prima fatto l'inquadramento geologico dell'area nella quale e' situata la stazione, riportando anche le caratteristiche della forta scossa di terremoto del 1936, che e' avvenita ai piedi dell'altopiano del Cansiglio. Successivamente vengono presentate le caratteristiche dei movimenti osservati nel primo anno di vita della stazione: e' stato riscontrato un buon accoppiamento con il terreno, documentato dal buon segnale di marea terrestre osservabile
