  • FNRS 1 Balloon
    Technical Data Sheet 1 FNRS 1 BALLOOn Balloon External diameter : 30 metres Payload : 1000 kg Materials : cotton and rubber Fuel : hydrogen Construction : Riedinger Ballon Fabrik (A), in 1931 The balloon was inflated with hydrogen, since the production of helium was too expensive in 1930. The diameter of the inflated balloon was 30 metres, its volume 14,130 m3. The balloon’s payload was 1000 kg and it was therefore clearly oversized in relation to the load to be carried. Its capacity theoretically enabled it to lift a locomotive! The balloon’s envelope consisted of two layers of cotton bonded by an intermediate layer of rubber. The fabric was dyed yellow (chloramine). This colour absorbs part of the sun’s blue, violet and ultraviolet rays. On take-off the balloon took the shape of a pear. It was only at altitude, when the pressure fell, that the balloon became spherical. Gondola External diameter : 2.10 metres Empty weight : 136 kg Crew : 2 men Endurance : 24 hours Thickness : 3.5 mm Materials : aluminium Portholes : glass Average on board temperature : -2 to + 40°C! Manufacturer of gondola : Georges L’Hoir, Liège (B) Interior equipment : Jacques Destappes, mechanic, Brussels (B) In structural terms, the sphere offers the highest volume for the smallest surface area, and therefore the lowest weight. The 2.10 metre diameter meanwhile, according to Auguste Piccard, is “(…) the smallest dimension in which two observers and a great deal of instrumentation can be accommodated”. The first gondola was painted in two colours. It was thus able to present a light or a dark side to the sun.

However, a systematic approach to study the role of transcription factors (TFs) in mediating cancer metabolic rewiring is missing. Here, we chart a genome-scale map of TF-metabolite associations in human using a new combined computational-experimental framework for large-scale metabolic profiling of adherent cell lines, and the integration of newly generated intracellular metabolic profiles of 54 cancer cell lines with transcriptomic and proteomic data. We unravel a large space of dependencies between TFs and central metabolic pathways, suggesting that the regulation of carbon metabolism in tumors may be more diverse and flexible than previously appreciated. This map provides an unprecedented resource to predict TFs responsible for metabolic transformation in patient-derived tumor samples, opening new opportunities in designing modulators of oncogenic TFs and in understanding disease etiology. Introduction Transcription factors (TFs) are at the interface between the cell’s ability to sense and respond to external stimuli or changes in internal cell-state1.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 050 905 RE 003 570 AUTHOR Calby, Diana Heywood TITLE The Effects of Specific Directions on the Reading Comprehension of Sixth-Grade Students. SPONS AGENCY Rutgers, The State Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Graduate School of Education. PUB DATE Jun 71 NOTE 153p.; Thesis submitted partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Directed Reading Activity, *Grade 6, Informal Reading Inventory, *Learning Processes, Reading Achievement, *Reading Comprehension, *Reading Research, Reading Tests ABSTRACT The effects of specific directions on the reading comprehension of sixth-grade students were investigated. Two passages on different topics, each with 20 percent of the sentences relevant to the topic, were materials for two informal tests administered to 92 six-grade students. Half of the students were given specific directions to learn about the relevant topic, and the other half were not. The post-test contained questions on the relevant and incidental materials. A Focus Ability test and the Gates-MacGinitie comprehension subtest followed. Findings showed that(1) the results from the two material sections were in conflict,(2) the ability to identify relevant material in a passage was not related to the ability to learn the relevant material selectively,(3) there was a low positive relationship between the ability to identify relevant material and the standardized measure of reading comprehension, and (4) the informal measure of reading comprehension scores were significantly correlated with the standardized measure of reading comprehension scores. Further research was suggested. Tables, appendixes, and a bibliography are included.

Here we present a detailed study of the microstructures and seismic properties in a sample of EBSD antigorite-olivine schist previously studied by Kern et al. (1997, 2015). We have measured crystallographic Olivine-antigorite transformation orientations and calculated the seismic properties in three orthogonal thin sections. Microstructures indicate that Phase boundary misorientation deformation is localized in the bands with high antigorite fractions, resulting in strong crystallographic preferred Effect of cracks in seismic properties orientations (CPOs) with point maxima of poles to (100) parallel to lineation and poles to (001) to the foliation Subduction normal. Olivine CPO suggests deformation under high temperature and low stress, with a [100] fiber texture. The CPO strength varies with grain size, but is strong even in fine-grained antigorite, and larger grains tend to display higher internal misorientation.

The LDEO Deep-Sea Sample Repository Curator Rusty Lotti Bond will provide a tour of the world’s greatest collection of materials brought up from the sea floors.

The connection between global winds/ pressure belts and surface currents has been well known for centuries. The next slide shows a generalized representation of the planetary wind pattern.
