Such as this report has a theoretical-practical nature, initially topics related to Psychomotricity, Mental Health and Mental Illness, specifying Schizophrenia, are approached and the internship local is explained. Then the psychomotor intervention is described as well as it’s difficulties and limitations. In the end, a reflexive conclusion of the experience is presented

Catalytic Deoxygenation of Guaiacol Using Methane

Guaiacol, produced by thermal degradation of lignin, represents a model compound for upgrading of fast pyrolysis bio-oils by deoxygenation. In our prior work, with Pt/C catalyst, such a process using H₂ was studied. To overcome the high cost of H₂, methane is used in this work to deoxygenate guaiacol. On Pt/C catalyst, in terms of guaiacol conversion and product distribution, methane is found to exhibit as good deoxygenation performance as H₂. The lifetime of this catalyst, however, is short (<3 h). The lifetime of Pt–Bi/C catalyst is extended (no significant deactivation in 5 h), by addition of bismuth as a promoter. This work provides a new approach for bio-oil upgrading using methane as a reductant instead of hydrogen

Conversion of Glycerol to Hydrocarbon Fuels via Bifunctional Catalysts

Utilization of byproduct glycerol improves biodiesel production in terms of both economics and sustainability. Conversion of glycerol to hydrocarbon (GTH) fuels is among the promising options, which provides additional renewable energy besides biodiesel and contributes further to independence from fossil fuels. In the present work, bifunctional catalysts (Pt/H-ZSM-5 and Pd/H-ZSM-5) were selected, prepared, characterized, and tested for GTH conversion. The addition of noble metals enhances aromatics’ yield, and both catalysts convert GTH fuels effectively. On the basis of the experimental observations and prior literature, it is proposed that GTH conversion follows sequential hydrodeoxygenation and aromatization steps. Under optimized conditions, ∼90% glycerol conversion and ∼60% yield of aromatic hydrocarbons were achieved over the Pd/H-ZSM-5 catalyst

Highly Selective Nonoxidative Coupling of Methane over Pt-Bi Bimetallic Catalysts

There is widespread interest in converting methane, primary component of natural gas and shale gas, into valuable chemicals. As an important direct methane transformation technique, despite extensive research conducted for decades, oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) remains industrially uneconomical owing to low selectivity toward valuable target products (C₂ species, ethane/ethylene). In the present work, we describe that ZSM-5 zeolite supported bimetallic Pt-Bi catalysts stably and selectively convert methane to C₂ species with high carbon selectivity (>90%) at relatively moderate temperatures (600–700 °C). On the basis of experimental observations, it is proposed that the surface Pt in the catalysts functions as the active site for methane activation, while Bi addition as promoter plays an important role in C₂ species formation and catalyst stability

Crafting Insulating Polymer Mediated and Atomically Precise Metal Nanoclusters Photosensitized Photosystems Towards Solar Water Oxidization

Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) have been deemed as a new generation of metal nanomaterials because of their characteristic atomic stacking fashion, quantum confinement effect, and multitude of active sites. The discrete molecular-like energy band structure of metal NCs endows them with photosensitization capability for light harvesting and conversion. However, applications of metal NCs in photoelectrocatalysis are limited by the ultrafast charge recombination and unfavorable stability, impeding the construction of metal NC-based photosystems. In this work, we elaborately crafted multilayered metal oxide (MO)/(metal NCs/insulating polymer)n photoanodes by a facile layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique. In these well-defined heterostructured photoanodes, glutathione (GSH)-wrapped metal NCs (Agx@GSH, Ag9@GSH6, Ag16@GSH9, and Ag31@GSH19) and an insulating poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) layer are alternately deposited on the MO substrate in a highly ordered integration mode. We found that photoelectrons of metal NCs can be tunneled into the MO substrate via the intermediate ultrathin insulating polymer layer by stimulating the tandem charge transfer route, thus facilitating charge separation and boosting photoelectrochemical water oxidation performances. Our work would open a new frontier for judiciously regulating directional charge transport over atomically precise metal NCs for solar-to-hydrogen conversion

Computational Investigation of DNA Detection Using Single-Electron Transistor-Based Nanopore

We propose a single-electron transistor (SET)-based nanopore sensor for DNA sequencing, which consists of source, drain, and gate electrodes, as well as a nanopore where the DNA molecule is pulled through. For nanopore sensors based on transverse electronic transport, generally, the tunneling current is relatively small due to the weak coupling between the molecule and electrodes. We take full advantage of this feature by introducing SET to make the device operate in Coulomb-blockade regime. Through first-principles simulations, the charge stability diagrams of the nucleobases within the SET-nanopore environment are demonstrated to be distinctive for each molecule and, more importantly, independent of the nucleobase orientation, which can be served as electronic fingerprint for detection. We show that identifying the nucleobases can be achieved only though several specific regions or points in the diagram

Transfer learning‐based surrogate‐assisted design optimisation of a five‐phase magnet‐shaping PMSM

 Multi-phase permanent-magnet synchronous machines (MPMSMs) with high reliability due to sufficient fault-tolerant capability have considerable potential for transportation electrification applications. Here, an efficient surrogate-assisted design optimisation method is proposed based on analytical model transfer learning for torque characteristic optimisation of a five-phase magnet-shaping PMSM. By employing transfer learning of the source domain analytical model data and the target domain finite element analysis (FEA) data in surrogate model training, the proposed method can achieve both high accuracy and high efficiency from the merits of FEA- and analytical-based optimisations, respectively. The studied machine with five-phases and harmonic injected surface-mounted PMs to enable harmonic injection for torque capability improvement is introduced and the analytical model is built based on the segmented PM and the complex conformal mapping methods. Besides, the optimal Latin hypercube design (LHD) and Taguchi methods are used to form the source and target domain datasets, respectively, so that data features can be efficiently captured over a wide range of optimisation variables. An optimal design is obtained by multi-objective optimisation using the trained surrogate model, which is prototyped and measured to validate the proposed method. </p
