Knudsen Effusion Measurement of Organic Peroxide Vapor Pressures

Abstract: The vapor pressures of TATP over the temperature range 269.85–306.95 K and DADP over the temperature range 265.85–294.85 K were determined using a modified Knudsen effusion apparatus. The Clausius-Clapeyron plot of log10(p(Pa)) with 1/T provided a straight line for each material. This expression for TATP is log10(p(Pa))=−(4497±80)/T(K)+(15.86±0.28) (error limits are 95 % confidence limits) and for DADP it is log10(p(Pa))=−(4417±137)/T(K)+(16.31±0.48). These expressions yield values of the vapor pressure at 298.15 K of 6 Pa for TATP and 17 Pa for DADP, and heats of sublimation of 86.2±1.5 kJ mol−1 for TATP and 84.6±2.6 kJ mol−1 for DADP. Attempts were made to determine the vapor pressure of HMTD but it appears to have a vapor pressure too low for our system to reliably determine. A two month experiment did provide an upper limit estimate for the vapor pressure of HMTD of approximately 0.04 Pa at room temperature. Melting point and melting point range were used as verification of the identity and purity of the TATP and DADP used in these experiments, but this was not possible with HMTD since it detonates prior to melting.

Perhaps More Consideration of Pavlovian-Operant Interaction May Improve the Clinical Efficacy of Behaviorally Based Drug Treatment Programs.

Abstract: Drug abuse remains costly Drug-related cues can evoke cue-reactivity and craving, contributing to relapse The Pavlovian extinction-based cue-exposure therapy (CET) has not been very successful in treating drug abuse A functional operant analysis of complex rituals involved in CET is outlined and reinterpreted as an operant heterogeneous chain maintained by observing responses, conditioned reinforcers, and discriminative stimuli It is further noted that operant functions are not predicated on Pavlovian processes but can be influenced by them in contributing to relapse; several empirical studies from the animal and human literature highlight this view Cue-reactivity evoked by Pavlovian processes is conceptualized as an operant establishing/motivating operation CET may be more effective in incorporating an operant-based approach that takes into account the complexity of Pavlovian-operant interaction Extinction of the operant chain coupled with the shaping of alternative behaviors is proposed as an integrated therapy It is proposed that operant-based drug abuse treatments (contingency management, voucher programs, and the therapeutic work environment) might consider incorporating cue-reactivity, as establishing/motivating operations, to increase long-term success—a hybrid approach based on Pavlovian-operant interaction

Interpreting Early Career Trajectories

Abstract: Career decisions of four teachers are explored through the concept of figured worlds in this qualitative, longitudinal case study. Participants were purposefully chosen for similarity at entry, with a range of career trajectories over time. Teacher career paths included remaining in one school, repeated changes in schools, attrition after relocation, and non-renewal of contract. Data included interviews, observations, participants’ assessments, and pupils’ work. Cross-case analysis suggests that no single teacher attribute or workplace condition determined teachers’ career decisions; rather, teachers’ ability to refigure their identity within the figured world of teaching shaped career trajectory. Key factors such as ability to address disequilibrium, teacher identity, agency, and collaborative capacity are examined. Implications call for pre-service preparation and professional development to navigate cultures of schools, amended administrative involvement in teacher retention, and policy reform acknowle...

Bound for entrepreneurship? A career-theoretical perspective on entrepreneurial intentions

Abstract: Research on entrepreneurial intentions, as an important step in the decision to undertake an entrepreneurial career, tends to position career actors as choosing entrepreneurship as a first career decision. However, most scholars agree that entrepreneurs emerge from existing organizations, not from college dorm rooms. Therefore, individuals choosing to enter entrepreneurship typically do so after having made previous career decisions to work in paid-employment careers. Despite the usefulness of the accumulated knowledge of individual and contextual antecedents to entrepreneurial intentions, few studies offer a careers theory-based explanation for why some people who have previously decided to pursue paid-employment careers view moves to entrepreneurial careers as feasible and desirable as proposed by entrepreneurial intentions-based models. In this paper, we extend boundaryless and protean career orientations, established theoretical career concepts, to explain the entrepreneurial intentions of actors already working in wage-employment careers. Our theoretical integration sheds new light on entrepreneurial intentions research and fills important gaps in our understanding of the mindsets of those inclined towards entrepreneurial careers.
