“A Song of Ice and Fire”—another verse from the world of ablation

The debate between the use of radiofrequency (RF) or cryoenergy for ablation near the atrioventricular (AV) conducting system or small coronaries has been fueled by the relative efficacies and risks of the two technologies, particularly in smaller hearts. The manuscript by Schneider et al adds another chapter to that ongoing debate.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150576/1/jce13987.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150576/2/jce13987_am.pd

Kinetics of the decomposition of methyl iodide

In recent years a great deal of attention has been paid to the determination of chemical bond energies. This has been due to a variety of factors, one important reason has been the development during the last twenty years of ideas about the detailed molecular interactions which take place during the process of chemical change. Since chemical change involves the making and breaking of bonds, either as separate or simultaneous processes, it is clear that progress from qualitative to quantitative explanations of chemical interactions will be greatly assisted by more precise knowledge of the strength of the links in the individual molecules. The early tables of bond energies (of Pauling) laid more emphasis on the approximate constancy of the values for any bond in various molecules than on variation from the mean. Chemical intuition on the other hand, would suggest that the difference in the reactivity of say CH₃.CH₂.C1 and CH₃.C00C1 might be due chiefly to some difference in the strength of the C-C1 links. More recent work substantiates this and has provided evidence from various sources to show how bond energies for certain links depend on their molecular environment. In the following pages a survey is given of the methods which have been employed for this purpose and some of the results achieved

Alternative Large-Scale Conservation Visions for Northern Maine: Interviews with Decision Leaders in Maine

Based on confidential interviews with 21 decision leaders in Maine, Elizabeth Baldwin, Laura Kenefic, and Will LaPage examine the complexity of the conflicts over alternate visions for large-scale conservation in Maine. Exploring models that may be useful for policymakers grappling with competing values for Maine’s forests, they present four alternatives: national forests, new U.S. forest service models, forest heritage areas, and the British national park model. The authors found that the leaders interviewed agreed about the need for some level of conservation, but did not completely agree on how this might happen and where the decision-making power should lie

Diffuse X-ray emission in spiral galaxies

We compare the soft diffuse X-ray emission from Chandra images of 12 nearby intermediate inclination spiral galaxies to the morphology seen in Halpha, molecular gas, and mid-infrared emission. We find that diffuse X-ray emission is often located along spiral arms in the outer parts of spiral galaxies but tends to be distributed in a rounder morphology in the center. The X-ray morphology in the spiral arms matches that seen in the mid-infrared or Halpha and so implies that the X-ray emission is associated with recent active star formation. We see no strong evidence for X-ray emission trailing the location of high mass star formation in spiral arms. However, population synthesis models predict a high mechanical energy output rate from supernovae for a time period that is about 10 times longer than the lifetime of massive ionizing stars, conflicting with the narrow appearance of the arms in X-rays. The fraction of supernova energy that goes into heating the ISM must depend on environment and is probably higher near sites of active star formation. The X-ray estimated emission measures suggest that the volume filling factors and scale heights are high in the galaxy centers but low in the outer parts of these galaxies. The differences between the X-ray properties and morphology in the centers and outer parts of these galaxies suggest that galactic fountains operate in outer galaxy disks but that winds are primarily driven from galaxy centers.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures, to be submitted to Ap

Explicit solution for vibrating bar with viscous boundaries and internal damper

We investigate longitudinal vibrations of a bar subjected to viscous boundary conditions at each end, and an internal damper at an arbitrary point along the bar's length. The system is described by four independent parameters and exhibits a variety of behaviors including rigid motion, super stability/instability and zero damping. The solution is obtained by applying the Laplace transform to the equation of motion and computing the Green's function of the transformed problem. This leads to an unconventional eigenvalue-like problem with the spectral variable in the boundary conditions. The eigenmodes of the problem are necessarily complex-valued and are not orthogonal in the usual inner product. Nonetheless, in generic cases we obtain an explicit eigenmode expansion for the response of the bar to initial conditions and external force. For some special values of parameters the system of eigenmodes may become incomplete, or no non-trivial eigenmodes may exist at all. We thoroughly analyze physical and mathematical reasons for this behavior and explicitly identify the corresponding parameter values. In particular, when no eigenmodes exist, we obtain closed form solutions. Theoretical analysis is complemented by numerical simulations, and analytic solutions are compared to computations using finite elements.Comment: 29 pages, 6 figure
