Factors influencing learning through play in ICT settings

Using a mixed method approach of questionnaires, observations and field notes, the authors have studied a number of settings during the past two years which have focussed on the development of ICT capability through play. Some of these have involved children identified as disaffected or disadvantaged, whilst others have involved initial teacher education students. In this paper, we consider some of the results obtained from the most recent of these settings, relate these to those obtained from the other settings, and explore further a number of inter-related issues which have arisen from the analysis. We particularly focus on the effect of learners’ self-esteem and self-efficacy; the influence of gender-related characteristics; the role of interaction between learners during activity; and the value of reflection.     

Enhanced Oil Recovery: The Synthesis of Anthraquinone [1, 2-C] Alkylisoxazole

Anthraquinone [1, 2-C] methylisoxazole is synthesized from 2-ethylanthraquinone through nitration and treating with oleum. The different methods of 2-ethylanthraquinone nitrated were discussed. The optimum conditions were determined. The structure of the product was confirmed by MS and ¹H NMR.     

EO/EG装置生产过程中有机酸的生成原因分析

分析了环氧乙烷，乙二醇装置工艺系统中有机酸生成的原因．指出在银催化剂作用下，乙烯氧化过程有机酸生成主要成分是甲酸和乙酸，银催化剂不是影响氧化反应器出口醛含量的主要因素；杂质、温度等对反应器出口气中的醛含量有重要影响，也直接影响到装置前系统的有机酸含量；乙二醇后系统中有机酸的增加仅取决于两级吸收及解析工艺的稳定操作。     

Locational analysis for regionalization of Turkish Red Crescent blood services

After a series of earthquakes in 1999, Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) has engaged in a restructuring for all of its activities, including the blood services. Our study on the blood management system had been started as part of this initiative to restructure the blood services and improve both their effectiveness and efficiency. In the current system of TRC, not much consideration has been given to how the locational decisions affect the performance of blood centers, stations and mobile units. In recent years, however, there has been much discussion regarding the regionalization of the blood management system in Turkey. In this study, we develop several mathematical models to solve the location–allocation decision problems in regionalization of blood services. We report our computational results, obtained by using real data, for TRC blood services.

The distribution of anthocyanins in grape skin extracts of port wine cultivars as determined by high performance liquid chromatography

The distribution of anthocyanins in methanolic skin extracts of 16 grape cultivars used for port wine production and grown at five sites in the Douro Valley in Northern Portugal has been assessed by high performance liquid chromatography. Results are confined to the seven most readily separated and identified anthocyanins and are expressed as percentages of their total (88–99% of the total integrated area). Anthocyanins based on malvidin (Mv) predominated. Of these, Mv 3-glucoside was the major pigment (33–60%), being exceeded by Mv 3-p-coumarylglucoside (2–51%) in only two cultivars; Mv 3-acetylglucoside (1–15%) was consistently the lowest. Peonidin 3-glucoside (1–27%) was prominent in four cultivars, but delphinidin 3-glucoside (1–11%), petunidin 3-glucoside (2–11%) and cyanidin 3-glucoside (trace-6%) were of low proportions throughout. The ratio Mv 3-acetylglucoside/total Mv glucosides appeared characteristic of cultivar, independent of site, and a useful aid to identification of grape cultivars. The coloured pulp of some cultivars contained peonidin 3-glucoside as a major component, present in greater proportions than in the skin; the percentage of Mv 3-p-coumarylglucoside was lower in pulp than in skin. The identities of six of the seven anthocyanins were confirmed by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and the structures of the Mv derivatives were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance. The formation of formyl and acetyl anthocyanin artefacts is described.

Kinetics of methylamine conversion on a Pd catalyst in the presence of H2

The kinetics of disproportionation of methylamine to dimethylamine and ammonia in the presence of hydrogen have been investigated over a silica-supported palladium catalyst. At a fixed partial pressure of methylamine, the reaction rate generally increases with decreasing hydrogen partial pressure, approaching a limiting or maximum value at sufficiently low pressures of hydrogen. The existence of a maximum is supported by the observation that the presence of some hydrogen appears to be necessary for the reaction to proceed at a conveniently measurable rate. At a fixed hydrogen partial pressure, the reaction rate increases with increasing methylamine partial pressure. When the methylamine partial pressure is sufficiently low or the hydrogen partial pressure is sufficiently high, the reaction order with respect to methylamine can be somewhat higher than one. At such conditions, a mechanism involving a bimolecular reaction between two partially dehydrogenated methylamine molecules on the surface appears to make a significant contribution to the overall catalytic reaction.     

Thick bone section preparation using a silicon-rubber-based sealant

A method has been developed, using a silicon-rubber-based sealant, which allows 2–3-mm-thick specimens to be maintained in a protected fluid environment for a number of months, without risk of dehydration. Following this, the specimen can be retrieved, stained, embedded and sectioned further. For example, 2-mm-thick sections of fixed unstained bone are easily examined by means of epi-illuminated polarized light and fluorescence microscopies using either conventional or confocal optics. The method could easily be extended to other tissues, for example brain tissue.
