”We’re quite interested to learn more about the Aussie contractors and find out whether they’re interested in looking at New Zealand but at the same time Australia is in a growth phase as well.”

ISERS and Ibulk were obtained on the peak intensity of the CuPc molecule at 1530 cm−1 at 10 different points on MGT substrates (fig. S9, C and D). The average intensity of CuPc at 1530 cm−1 (ISERS = 21,000 and Ibulk = 200) was used for the calculation of the EF value (fig. S9E).

He is also survived by several extended family members including Diane Roberts, Scott Staples, Justin, Andrea, Davis, Reece and Jax Nunley.

The researchers tested their sponge in the lab using blue and red dyes commonly found in the textile industry. They poured the colored water—already mixed with the existing molecule that helps reduce color—over the sponge. As the liquid passed through the material, the resulting water was clear. In another test, they swirled the sponge material inside a jar containing blue-dyed water, and after about 10 seconds the color disappeared.

We performed MD simulations of artificial water channels formed by HC8, R-HC8, and S-HC8 I-quartets following our previous protocol (14) that is briefly described hereafter.

When he assumed office Bryant had a $1.7 million operating deficit and a tiny endowment. Today, the University’s endowment is nearing $200 million. Over the past 20 years, Bryant has become one of the most improved higher education institutions in America.

We then characterized the orientation of the water molecules in the membrane region through the angle their O–H bonds form with the vector perpendicular to the membrane plane as illustrated in fig. S9A. On the basis of the smallest of both angles measured according to this scheme, we plotted the distributions for the HC8, R-HC8, and S-HC8 systems calculated for the 450- to 500-ns time frame (Fig. 4D and fig. S9B). The apparent order, assessed by the width of the angle distribution, decreases slightly from S-HC8 to R-HC8 and then significantly to HC8. Furthermore, the distributions for the chiral systems are much narrower when centered around ~45°, falling off quickly for larger angles. The HC8 distribution is much broader spreading up to 135°, indicating an almost random orientation for this system. We carried out further analysis of water molecule ordering through calculation of the order parameter of the water molecules. Figure 4E and fig. S9C show a marked ordering for R-/S-HC8 systems, with a slightly higher ordering of S-HC8, compared with a rather flat profile for HC8. A specific pattern of water ordering is observed for the headgroup regions.

If this list of greatest living Rhode Islanders had been developed twenty years ago, it might have been rich with elected officials – the likes of Senators Claiborne Pell and John Chafee, the retired John O. Pastore and Bruce Sundlun, but today there are few with the gravitas of achievement of those politicians. 

In a post match interview, Munala said: “We wanted to play well against the Dominican Republic. They destroyed our reception and were fast on counter attack. I wish the Dominican Republic success in the next round and hope they go all the way to the final.”

Abstract: The improved motorized gearbox mechanism of the present invention includes a plurality of cam-actuated gear block assemblies, which transfer power from an integral rotor and stator assembly contained in a cam/rotor assembly, to a secondary or output gear element. Each gear block assembly includes a gear block having a surface that periodically interfaces with a secondary or output gear element. When energized, the stator assembly interacts with the rotor assembly inducing the cam/rotor assembly to rotate about its central axis, thereby driving the output gear element via the plurality of cam-actuated gear block assemblies. The motorized gearbox mechanism may be powered electrically, hydraulically, pneumatically or by steam, or any conventional power source that can be adapted to use an integral stator/rotor assembly configured in the cam assembly body to generate rotative power in the cam/rotor assembly.
