Effect of concentration on shear and extensional rheology of guar gum solutions
The steady shear and extensional rheology of aqueous guar gum solutions was studied for concentrations, C, ranging from 1 g/L to 20 g/L. Extensional rheometry measurements were made using the Cambridge Trimaster filament-stretching device. The steady shear tests indicated a transition between a semi-dilute regime, below 10 g/L, and an entangled regime at higher concentrations. The solutions were shear-thinning and obeyed the unmodified Cox–Merz rule in the dilute regime, but deviated from Cox–Merz and exhibited strongly viscoelastic behaviour at higher concentrations. The surface tension at higher concentration also deviated from the Szyszkowski model, exhibiting behaviour consistent with entanglement. The filament-thinning data did not fit the model for polymer solution behaviour presented by Entov and Hinch (1997), but gave a good fit to a modified form where time was normalised by the time for filament break-up. This scaling was independent of concentration effects, as reported by Chesterton, Meza, Moggridge, Sadd, and Wilson (2011) for cake batters. The modified model parameters approached asymptotic values for entangled solutions. The estimated apparent extensional viscosity exhibited a peak at unit strain followed by a constant value. The former increased as Cn, where n > 1, while the latter increased linearly with C.The authors acknowledge the financial support (POS-A/2012/116) from Xunta de Galicia’s Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria of Spain and European Union’s European Social Fund.This is the accepted manuscript version.

HS Hya about to turn off its eclipses
Aims: We aim to perform the first long-term analysis of the system HS Hya.
Methods: We performed an analysis of the long-term evolution of the light
curves of the detached eclipsing system HS Hya. Collecting all available
photometric data since its discovery, the light curves were analyzed with a
special focus on the evolution of system's inclination. Results: We find that
the system undergoes a rapid change of inclination. Since its discovery until
today the system's inclination changed by more than 15 deg. The shape of the
light curve changes, and now the eclipses are almost undetectable. The third
distant component of the system is causing the precession of the close orbit,
and the nodal period is about 631 yr. Conclusions: New precise observations are
desperately needed, preferably this year, because the amplitude of variations
is decreasing rapidly every year. We know only 10 such systems on the whole sky
at present.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, published in 2012A&A...542L..23

Effect of bubble volume fraction on the shear and extensional rheology of bubbly liquids based on guar gum (a Giesekus fluid) as continuous phase
The effect of air bubble volume fraction, ϕ, on the steady shear and extensional rheology of aqueous guar gum solutions was studied at 0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.25 and gum concentrations of (i) 5° g/L and (ii) 10 g/L, corresponding to solutions in the (i) semi-dilute and (ii) entanglement regime. The rheological response of the fluids was largely independent of bubble size but strongly dependent on ϕ. The viscous and elastic moduli increased with increasing bubble volume fraction, with elastic dominance prevalent at the higher gum concentration. Extensional rheometry, investigated using filament stretching, revealed that the thinning dynamics of the liquid thread were affected by bubble size, but the filament rupture time was primarily dependent on ϕ. The rheological behaviour in both shear and extension could be modelled as a single mode Giesekus fluid, with a single set of parameters able to describe both the shear and extensional behaviour in the semi-dilute regime. In the entanglement regime the single mode Giesekus fluid could fit the shear data or the extensional data individually, but not both. The fitted Giesekus fluid model parameters exhibited a strong dependency on ϕ, offering a way to predict the flow behaviour of these complex food fluids.This is the author's accepted manuscript.

Evaluación de las propiedades dinámicas de un pórtico plano (MDOF) en una mesa vibratoria
At present, the study of structural dynamics is mainly theoretical with access to certain simulations through software, however, this project attempts that the student may understand and physically observe the dynamic responses of experimental models. These models correspond to 2D - frames with multiple degrees of freedom that are subjected to acceleration in the base; this acceleration is generated by a Shake Table II, and the results obtained will be compared with theoretical results. These theoretical results were obtained based on modal decomposition and Newmark's method for calculating the dynamic response, considering the linear variation in the acceleration of each floor. The application developed, ATH Dynamic Responses, provided the theoretical responses through a graphical interface friendly for the user. The experimental models are constituted by two materials: stainless steel for frame legs and acrylic sheets for floors; these were tested on a Shake Table II”. The data was acquired using accelerometers that were placed in each floor and in the shake table, and they were corrected both by baseline and with the low pass filter. The results obtained show that the instrumentation with the Shake Table II and the data acquisition with accelerometers provide results similar to the theoretical ones regarding dynamic responses and modal properties.Hoy en día, el estudio de la dinámica estructural es fundamentalmente teórico con acceso a ciertas simulaciones vía \emph{software}, sin embargo, este proyecto intenta que el estudiante pueda entender y observar de manera física las respuestas dinámicas de modelos experimentales. Estos modelos corresponden a pórticos planos de múltiples grados de libertad, que están sometidos a aceleración en la base, la cual es generada por una mesa vibratoria. Los resultados obtenidos se compararán con teóricos. Estos fueron obtenidos basándose en la descomposición modal y en el método de Newmark para el cálculo de la respuesta dinámica, considerando variación lineal en la aceleración de cada piso. La aplicación generada, ATH Dynamic Responses, proporcionó las respuestas teóricas, mediante una interfaz gráfica amigable para el usuario. Los modelos experimentales están constituidos por dos materiales: acero inoxidable (parantes) y láminas de acrílico (pisos), y fueron ensayados sobre una mesa vibratoria. La adquisición de datos se realizó mediante acelerómetros que se colocaron en cada piso y sobre la mesa vibratoria, fueron corregidos, tanto por línea base como con el filtro pasa bajo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la instrumentación con una mesa vibratoria y adquisición de datos con acelerómetros proporcionan valores muy similares a los teóricos en cuanto a respuestas dinámicas y propiedades modales
Pedagogical-didactic strategies that help boost listening comprehension and production of English
This article is an attempt to establish the effectiveness of the creation of an intended environment for foreign language learning in order to diminish the passive approach of listening and speaking skills of students in communes 1 and 2 of Bucaramanga-Colombia; supporting inclusion from the curriculum, through multichannel stimulation and the implementation of strategies for meaningful learning. The quantitative research design was configured by setting two groups: a control group and an experimental one with students from an institution that assists population in vulnerable situations. In the experiment, a Manova analysis was performed taking into consideration the results of a pre-test and a post-test for listening and speaking skills, establishing correlations with the perception channels characterized for each of the students in both groups. A significant difference was achieved (Traza Pillai p <0.05) for the variable listening skill between the control group and the experimental group, with the last one being higher. There was a tendency to show significant differences in speaking ability (p = 0.062). Effective strategies are the ones that encourage language interaction in context, collaborative learning, comprehensible input, the reduction of students’ anxiety as well as their active and self-directed participation

Teleneurology clinics for polyneuropathy: a pilot study.
INTRODUCTION:Polyneuropathy (PN) is a common condition with significant morbidity. We developed tele-polyneuropathy (tele-PN) clinics to improve access to neurology and increase guideline-concordant PN care. This article describes the mixed-methods evaluation of pilot tele-PN clinics at three community sites within the Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare System. METHODS:For the first 25 patients (48 scheduled visits), we recorded the duration of the tele-PN visit and exam; the performance on three guideline-concordant care indicators (PN screening labs, opiate reduction, physical therapy for falls); and patient-satisfaction scores. We elicited comments about the tele-PN clinic from patients and the clinical team. We combined descriptive statistics with qualitative themes to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the tele-PN clinics. RESULTS:The average tele-PN encounter and exam times were 28.5 and 9.1 min, respectively. PN screening lab completion increased from 80 to 100%. Opiate freedom improved from 68 to 88%. Physical therapy for patients with recent falls increased from 58 to 100%. The tele-PN clinic was preferred for follow-up over in-person clinics in 86% of cases. Convenience was paramount to the clinic's success, saving an average of 231 min per patient in round-trip travel. The medical team's caring and collaborative spirit received high praise. While the clinic's efficiency was equal or superior to in-person care, the limited treatment options for PN and the small clinical exam space are areas for improvement. CONCLUSION:In this pilot, we were able to efficiently see and examine patients remotely, promote guideline-concordant PN care, and provide a high-satisfaction encounter
