TL;DR: This paper found that most students have enjoyed inadequate speaking opportunities at school, where listening to teacher has been their most frequent classroom experience, and they expressed a liking for communicative work at school and a preference for university classes where students do most of the talking.

TL;DR: The two distinct CH3CHOO conformers, syn- and anti-, both of which react readily with SO2 and with NO2, are probed, and it is demonstrated that anti-CH 3CHOO is substantially more reactive toward water and SO2 than is syn-CH3 CHOO.
Abstract: Although carbonyl oxides, “Criegee intermediates,” have long been implicated in tropospheric oxidation, there have been few direct measurements of their kinetics, and only for the simplest compound in the class, CH2OO. Here, we report production and reaction kinetics of the next larger Criegee intermediate, CH3CHOO. Moreover, we independently probed the two distinct CH3CHOO conformers, syn- and anti-, both of which react readily with SO2 and with NO2. We demonstrate that anti-CH3CHOO is substantially more reactive toward water and SO2 than is syn-CH3CHOO. Reaction with water may dominate tropospheric removal of Criegee intermediates and determine their atmospheric concentration. An upper limit is obtained for the reaction of syn-CH3CHOO with water, and the rate constant for reaction of anti-CH3CHOO with water is measured as 1.0 × 10−14 ± 0.4 × 10−14 centimeter3 second−1.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the experimental results of a study on comparing the difference in properties of recycled aggregates (RAs) with varying amounts of old adhered mortar obtained from different sources and evaluating the influence of the different RAs on the mechanical and durability properties of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed four basic IPT circuits with series-series (SS), series-parallel (SP), parallel series (PS), and parallel parallel (PP) compensations systematically to identify conditions for realizing load-independent output current or voltage, as well as resistive input impedance.
Abstract: The inductive power transfer (IPT) technique in battery charging applications has many advantages compared to conventional plug-in systems. Due to the dependencies on transformer characteristics, loading profile, and operating frequency of an IPT system, it is not a trivial design task to provide the battery the required constant charging current (CC) or constant battery charging voltage (CV) efficiently under the condition of a wide load range possibly defined by the charging profile. This paper analyzes four basic IPT circuits with series–series (SS), series–parallel (SP), parallel–series (PS), and parallel–parallel (PP) compensations systematically to identify conditions for realizing load-independent output current or voltage, as well as resistive input impedance. Specifically, one load-independent current output circuit and one load-independent voltage output circuit having the same transformer, compensating capacitors, and operating frequency can be readily combined into a hybrid topology with fewest additional switches to facilitate the transition from CC to CV. Finally, hybrid topologies using either SS and PS compensation or SP and PP compensation are proposed for battery charging. Fixed-frequency duty cycle control can be easily implemented for the converters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the differences of GHG emissions between prefabrication and conventional construction methods and established a quantitative model using a process-based method, which showed that the semi-prefabrication method produces less GHGs emissions per square meter compared with the conventional construction, with the former producing 336 kg/m2 and the latter generating 368 kg /m2.
