Heat-Resistant Alloy Service Life Extended Through Alloy Development
Special composites and processing methods retard primary and secondary carbide growth and coalescence, which sustains high-temperature properties.
(1) Representative furnace components including roller rails and return bend; (2) Cast belt and drive drum
Standard heat resistant alloys (HRAs) have been the basic workhorse alloys used to manufacture fixtures, radiant tube assemblies and high-temperature operating components in different furnace designs for many years, and are still performing well in some heat-treating applications. However, these alloys often experience shorter than expected service lives with the increasing demands of running more efficient heat-treating operations by optimizing heat-treated loads and seeking higher operating temperatures in most applications.
Short service lives of furnace parts made of standard HRAs are attributed to many factors inherent in these alloys, including relatively low creep strength, low corrosion and oxidation resistance and poor resistance to distortion. These factors force heat treaters to perform more unscheduled furnace maintenance to replace failed components. In many heat-treating operations, once a furnace is shut down, all the heat-resistant furnace components, as well as the refractory, are replaced to minimize further component failures and subsequent unscheduled shut downs.
Standard HRAs, which basically are composed of chromium, iron and nickel, have not undergone any significant changes to their chemistries since their introduction to the heat treat industry. However, alloying technologies have been developed and used in the formulation of new alloys, which have enhanced high-temperature mechanical properties and corrosion behavior. Limited research has left standard HRAs stagnant and limited their applications.

Standard HRA strengthening mechanisms
In the temperature range 1600 to 2010F (870 to 1100C), the main strengthening mechanism that operates in standard heat resistant alloys during the steady state creep process is the result of carbide dispersion. Increasing temperature and/or long exposure at high temperature affect the growth and morphology of the carbide (and sometimes nitride) precipitates in these alloys. Although the precipitation of secondary carbides does not start until around 1100F (595C), their morphology is greatly affected in the temperature range considered. The austenitic matrix, having a wide solubility range for carbon, becomes a field of carbide precipitates at high temperature. Carbon reacts readily with the chemical elements that are strong carbide formers, such as chromium and tungsten. Carbide precipitates are very effective in their interaction with dislocations as long as their critical size is not reached. The effectiveness of this interaction strengthens these alloys and imparts resistance to creep and plastic deformation at high temperature.
Once carbides grow past a certain critical size, their interaction with dislocations becomes less effective and, consequently, the alloys start losing their strength. Carbide precipitates grow not only by diffusion processes, but also by coalescence with one another. The higher the temperature, the more advanced their growth and coalescence processes become.
Less secondary, but bulky carbide precipitates are present in the matrices of grains. Carbon and chromium eventually diffuse out of the grain matrices and settle in interdendritic and grain boundary regions, which become heavily carburized. At this stage, the alloy becomes vulnerable to degradation of its mechanical properties. The matrix is depleted of carbon and chromium, thereby losing both its solid-solution and interstitial solution strengthening. However, grain boundaries and interdendritic regions become filled with coarse, bulky carbides, degrading the ductility of the alloy at these sites. Carbides, being ceramic compounds and having different thermal expansion coefficients than the metallic matrix, start to crack and also crack the grain matrices once they reach their coarsened bulky sizes. This occurs during furnace process heating and cooling cycles and during thermal fluctuations.
By comparison, the special formulation of chemical composition and casting processes of the Advanced Alloys results in microstructural characteristics that retards the growth of the primary and secondary carbide precipitates. Consequently the carbon and chromium stay in the matrices of the grains longer, maintaining alloy high-temperature strength for a much longer time. Therefore, the new alloys are more resilient to creep and deformation processes than the traditional alloys.
Tensile and stress-rupture specimens were produced at Steeltech Ltd. in accordance with ASTM E-8 (Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials). Specimens were machined from 1.25 in. wide by 6 in. long coupons cut from the bottom of the keel-blocks and inspected to ensure there were no surface defects. Yield stress, ultimate tensile stress and percent elongation were measured in room-temperature tensile tests, and stress rupture tests were performed at temperatures of 1600, 1800 and 2010F (870, 980 and 1100C) for alloys AA51, AA65 and AA41. The stresses used for these tests were selected to draw a direct comparison with standard heat resistant alloys HT, HK, HP, and HH. Most of the testing was performed at Howmet Whitehall Research Center, Whitehall, Mich. Room-temperature testing
To give physical meaning to the comparison that is established between the Advanced Alloys and some of the standard heat resistant alloys discussed in this article, two testing conditions were selected from published and commonly used standard HRA data.
The mechanical properties of AA51 and published data for the heat resistant alloys HK, HT[1, 2] are compared in Table 1. The yield stress, ultimate tensile stress and elongation are similar at room temperature. Tensile properties of AA 65 and standard heat resistant alloy HP also are similar in magnitude (Table 2), and differences between tensile properties of AA 41 and HH2 are negligible (Table 3).
High-temperature testing
To produce quicker testing results, load and temperature conditions were selected from the stress-rupture test conditions of 100 hour average duration for the standard heat resistant alloys.
AA51 has two to ten times the performance of HK and HT under the same test conditions. Test results for HK, HT and AA51 are presented in Table 4. At 1600F (870C) under a stress of 9,200 psi, both HK and HT alloys last on the average of 100 hours, then fail catastrophically compared with a life of 210 to 290 hours for AA51. At 1800F (980C) under a stress of 4,750 psi, both HK and HT fail catastrophically after an average of 100 hours compared with 325 to 770 hours for alloy AA51. At 2010F (1100C), HK and HT have a 100-hour life at a stress of 2,200 psi compared with 450 to 1,050 hours for AA51.
AA65 has three to four times the performance of HP under the same test conditions. Stress-rupture results for HP and AA65 are shown in Table 5. HP has an average 100-hour life at 1600F under a stress of 10,000 psi compared with 315 to 470 hours for AA65. The life of AA65 is between 200 and 250 hours at 1800F and 5,900 psi and between 300 and 405 hours at 2010F and 2,800 psi compared with a 100-hour average life of HP at the same conditions.
AA41 has two to ten times the performance of HH under the same test conditions. Table 6 lists the results of stress rupture tests HH and AA41. HH has an average 100-hour life at 1600F under a stress of 6,400 psi compared with 210 and 350 hours for AA41. The life of AA41 is between 350 to 670 hours at 1800F and 3,200 psi and between 829 to 1,007 hours at 2010F and 1,400 psi compared with a 100-hour average life of HH at the same conditions.
The long stress-rupture lives that characterize the Advanced Alloys are due to their high creep strength, which is directly due to the special chemical formulation and special casting procedures used to make these alloys. This results in a fine primary carbide network dispersion in the as-cast condition.

Advantages of Advanced Alloys to a heat-treating operation
Extending the service lives of furnace hardware offers significant benefits to the production, maintenance and efficiency of a heat-treating operation. For example, two to ten times longer service life than those for traditional HRAs eliminates many shut downs and reduces unscheduled down time, which results in increased production. In addition, reducing furnace-hardware failures leads to fewer purchases, reduces furnace-parts inventory and achieves a more efficient heat-treating operation.
The following examples illustrate the extended performance using Advanced Alloys:
"U" radiant tube assemblies made of a standard HRA in the harsh environment of the first zone of a continuous carburizer at a Caterpillar plant previously were lasting about 1-1/2 years, typically failing due to sagging, blow holes and weld failures. By comparison, Advanced Alloy AA51 U-tube replacements have been in service for nearly three years without any signs of deterioration.
"I" beams made of AA51 show no signs of deterioration after nearly 3-1/2 years in furnaces at Hansen Balk Steel Treating Co. compared with an average service life of 1-1/2 years for beams made of a standard HRA.
Roller rail sets made of standard HRAs had an average service life of one year in a high carbon atmosphere at a temperature of 1750F (955C) in a furnace at Thermal Metal Treating Inc., typically failing due to warping, bowing and cracking. Advanced Alloy A51 roller rails, by comparison, show no signs of failure after nearly 2-1/2 years.

Q: Can you point all of a TLD towards Localhost in a hostsfile? Is it possible to point all of a TLD (like .dev), towards localhost with the hostsfile and without having to set up a local DNS server? Would be awesome for local web development!

A: The hosts facility in most operating systems does not support wildcard functionality; you would need to write (or find) a NSS library (or whatever equivalent is used on Windows or OS X) to provide the names.

"Are you going for Haj this year?," a Pakistani shopkeeper asked me. I told him I may go but I haven't yet decided.
He was surprised. "Why not, brother? Are you OK?," he asked me, looking at me closely to check for signs of illness or troubles.
I laughed and assured him that I am fine and explained that I performed my last Haj five years ago. I could get a permit this year but I can see that millions come from countries thousands of miles away for their first, once-in-a-lifetime Haj, and they deserve the space much more than I do. I have already performed Haj many times and I can do it again InshaAllah when all the ongoing mega projects are completed in two years, so why the rush? Why should I take up space and add to the crowd when I can give my place to a fellow Muslim?
I was amazed. It took me some time to absorb his logic before I responded, "I hate to correct you, brother, but your information is not accurate. The Prophet (PBUH) and his companions did not perform Haj every year, did not walk carrying their belongings on their backs, but rather rode on camels and horses. They lived in tents, not in the open, and certainly not on pavements, blocking pedestrians. And they always sought the easiest, not the hardest ways.
The man listened with respect, thought for a few minutes, then said: "Brother, it is not so easy to ignore the call and to hear Hajis chanting "Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik" while I sit in my pajamas watching them in front of my television, here in Jeddah, only 60 miles from where they stand on the Mountain of Mercy.

Core–shell semiconducting nanocrystals (CSSNCs) are a class of materials which have properties intermediate between those of small, individual molecules and those of bulk, crystalline semiconductors. They are unique because of their easily modular properties, which are a result of their size. These nanocrystals are composed of a quantum dot semiconducting core material and a shell of a distinct semiconducting material.  The core and the shell are typically composed of type II–VI, IV–VI, and III–V semiconductors, with configurations such as CdS/ZnS, CdSe/ZnS, CdSe/CdS, and InAs/CdSe (typical notation is: core/shell) Organically passivated quantum dots have low fluorescence quantum yield due to surface related trap states. CSSNCs address this problem because the shell increases quantum yield by passivating the surface trap states.  In addition, the shell provides protection against environmental changes, photo-oxidative degradation, and provides another route for modularity. Precise control of the size, shape, and composition of both the core and the shell enable the emission wavelength to be tuned over a wider range of wavelengths than with either individual semiconductor.  These materials have found applications in biological systems and optics.

Background

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, which are also called quantum dots (QDs), consist of ~1–10 nm diameter semiconductor nanoparticles that have organic ligands bound to their surface.  These nanomaterials have found applications in nanoscale photonic, photovoltaic, and light-emitting diode (LED) devices due to their size-dependent optical and electronic properties.  Quantum dots are popular alternatives to organic dyes as fluorescent labels for biological imaging and sensing due to their small size, tuneable emission, and photostability.

The luminescent properties of quantum dots arise from exciton decay (recombination of electron hole pairs) which can proceed through a radiative or nonradiative pathway.  The radiative pathway involves electrons relaxing from the conduction band to the valence band by emitting photons with wavelengths corresponding to the semiconductor's bandgap. Nonradiative recombination can occur through energy release via phonon emission or Auger recombination. In this size regime, quantum confinement effects lead to a size dependent increasing bandgap with observable, quantized energy levels.  The quantized energy levels observed in quantum dots lead to electronic structures that are intermediate between single molecules which have a single HOMO-LUMO gap and bulk semiconductors which have continuous energy levels within bands

Semiconductor nanocrystals generally adopt the same crystal structure as their extended solids. At the surface of the crystal, the periodicity abruptly stops, resulting in surface atoms having a lower coordination number than the interior atoms. This incomplete bonding (relative to the interior crystal structure) results in atomic orbitals that point away from the surface called "dangling orbitals" or unpassivated orbitals. Surface dangling orbitals are localized and carry a slight negative or positive charge.  Weak interaction among the inhomogeneous charged energy states on the surface has been hypothesized to form a band structure. If the energy of the dangling orbital band is within the semiconductor bandgap, electrons and holes can be trapped at the crystal surface. For example, in CdSe quantum dots, Cd dangling orbitals act as electron traps while Se dangling orbitals act as hole traps. Also, surface defects in the crystal structure can act as charge carrier traps.

Charge carrier trapping on QDs increases the probability of non-radiative recombination, which reduces the fluorescence quantum yield. Surface-bound organic ligands are typically used to coordinate to surface atoms having reduced coordination number in order to passivate the surface traps.  For example, tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and trioctylphospine (TOP) have been used to control the growth conditions and passivate the surface traps of high quality CdSe quantum dots.  Although this method provides narrow size distributions and good crystallinity, the quantum yields are ~5–15%. Alkylamines have been incorporated into the TOP/TOPO synthetic method to increase the quantum yields to ~50%.

The main challenge in using organic ligands for quantum dot surface trap passivation is the difficulty in simultaneously passivating both anionic and cationic surface traps. Steric hindrance between bulky organic ligands results in incomplete surface coverage and unpassivated dangling orbitals. Growing epitaxial inorganic semiconductor shells over quantum dots inhibits photo-oxidation and enables passivation of both anionic and cationic surface trap states. As photogenerated charge carriers are less likely to be trapped, the probability for excitons to decay through the radiative pathway increases. CdSe/CdS and ZnSe/CdSe nanocrystals have been synthesized that exhibit 85% and 80–90% quantum yield, respectively.

Core–shell semiconductor nanocrystal architecture was initially investigated in the 1980s, followed by a surge of publications on synthetic methods the 1990s.

Classification of core–shell semiconductor nanocrystals
Core–shell semiconductor nanocrystal properties are based on the relative conduction and valence band edge alignment of the core and the shell. In type I semiconductor heterostructures, the electron and holes tend to localize within the core.  In type II heterostructures, one carrier is localized in the shell while the other is localized in the core.

Type I
 Description
In a Type I CSSNC, the bandgap of the core is smaller than that of the shell. Both the conduction and valence band edges of the core lie within the bandgap of the shell, which confines both electrons and holes in the core.  This can be seen in figure X, where the electron and hole of an exciton at the CdSe (bandgap:1.74 eV) /CdS (bandgap:2.42 eV) interface occupy energy states within the CdSe core, which corresponds to the lowest available energy separation.  The emission wavelength due to radiative electron-hole recombination within the core is slightly redshifted compared to uncoated CdSe.

 Examples
CdSe/CdS, CdSe/ZnS, InAs/CdSe and ZnO/MgO

Reverse Type I
 Description

In the reverse type I configuration, the core has a wider bandgap than the shell, and the conduction and valence band edges of the shell lie within those of the core.  The lowest available exciton energy separation occurs when the charge carriers are localized in the shell. Changing the shell thickness tunes the emission wavelength.

 Examples
CdS/HgS, CdS/CdSe, ZnSe/CdSe and MgO/ZnO

Type II
 Description

In the type II configuration, the valence and conduction band edge of the core are both lower or higher than the band edges of the shell.  An example of a type II is shown in figure X, ZnTe (bandgap:2.26) /CdSe (bandgap:1.74). The lowest energy separation of the electron and the hole will occur when the hole is confined in the ZnTe core valence band and the electron is confined in the CdSe shell conduction band. The emission wavelength will be determined by the energy difference between these occupied states, as shown by the red arrow, which will be at a lower energy than either of the individual bandgaps.  The emission wavelength can be significantly red shifted compared to the unpassivated core.

 Examples
ZnTe/CdSe, CdTe/CdSe, CdS/ZnSe

Doped core-shell semiconductor nanocrystals

Doping has been shown to strongly affect the optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals. Impurity concentrations in semiconductor nanocrystals grown using colloidal synthesis, however, are typically lower than in their bulk counterparts. There has been interest in magnetic doping of CSSNCs for applications in magnetic memory and spin-based electronics. Dual-mode optical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been explored by doping the shell of CdSe/ZnS with Mn, which caused the CSSNC to be paramagnetic.

Synthesis
In synthesizing core shell nanoparticles, scientists have studied and found several wet chemical methods, such as chemical precipitation, sol-gel, microemulsion and inverse micelle formation. Those methods have been used to grow core shell chalcogenide nanoparticles with an emphasis on better control of size, shape, and size distribution. To control the growth of nanoparticles with tunable optical properties, supporting matrices such as glasses, zeolites, polymers or fatty acids have been used. In addition, to prepare nanoparticles of sulfides, selenides and tellurides, the Langmuir–Blodgett film technique has been used successfully. In comparison to wet chemical methods, electrochemical synthesis is more desirable, such as the use of aqueous solvents rather than toxic organic solvents, formation of conformal deposits, room-temperature deposition, low cost, and precise control of composition and thickness of semiconductor coating on metal nanoparticles. However, owing to the difficulty of preparing electrically addressable arrays of nanoparticles, the use of electrochemical techniques to produce core-shell nanoparticles was difficult. Recently, Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) and Copper iodide (CuI) was electrochemically grown on a 3-D nanoelectrode array via layer-by-layer depositing of alternating layers of nanoparticles and Polyoxometalate (POM).

Core–shell semiconductor nanocrystals can be grown by using colloidal chemistry methods with an appropriate control of the reaction kinetics. Using this method which results in a relatively high control of size and shape, semiconductor nanostructures could be synthesized in the form of dots, tubes, wires and other forms which show interesting optic and electronic size-dependent properties. Since the synergistic properties resulting from the intimate contact and interaction between the core and shell, CSSNCs can provide novel functions and enhanced properties which are not observed in single nanoparticles.

The size of core materials and the thickness of shell can be controlled during synthesis. For example, in the synthesis of CdSe core nanocrystals, the volume of H2S gas can determine the size of core nanocrystals. As the volume of H2S increases, the size of the core decreases. Alternatively, when the reaction solution reaches the desired reaction temperature, rapid cooling can result in smaller core sizes. In addition, the thickness of shell is typically determined by the added amount of shell material during the coating process.

Characterization
An increase in either the core size or shell length results in longer emission wavelengths. The interface between the core and shell can be tailored to passivate relaxation pathways and form radiative states. The size dependence of the band gap in these nanoparticles due to the quantum confinement effect has been utilized to control the photoluminescence color from blue to red by preparing nanoparticles of varying sizes. By manipulating the size or shape of the nanoparticles, the luminescence colors and purity can be controlled. However, the quantum yield and the brightness of luminescence of the CSSNCs is ultimately limited and it cannot be controlled because of the presence of surface traps.

UV-vis absorption spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)  are the techniques typically used to identify and characterize CSSNCs.

Purification techniques

As synthesized core-shell nanocrystals contains impurities, such as unreacted precursors, reaction by products, high b.p. solvents, and necessary ligands that were used during the synthesis of NCs to control growth. Such impurities often perturb the surface chemistry of the NCs and it directly reflects on their physical properties. In addition to this, the solvent that is used during synthesis barely resembles with the solvent into which the nanocrystals will be kept during the measurements of different types of physical properties of that NCs. Hence, for almost all cases, an effective means of purification is required after core-shell NC synthesis.

There are several purification techniques exist to purify CSNCs from as-synthesized CSNCs solution. A few of them discussed below:

Purification techniques based on Polarity

Precipitation and Re-dissolution
Generally, high boiling non-polar solvents are frequently used during the synthesis of CSNCs. By introducing an antisolvent (a solvent in which the desired product is insoluble) to the solvent mixture, a flocculated form of CSNCs can be achieved. When an antisolvent introduced in such solutions, it increases the polarity of that solvent mixture, which primarily governs the flocculation. However, this flocculated CSNCs then can be precipitated out from the solution by exploiting gravitational force or by means of centrifugation. This precipitated CSNCs, separated from impurities, then redispersed in a clean solvent. By repeating this process multiple times, purer form of CSNCs can be achieved. Through this method, a refine size distributed CSNCs can be found by adding a minimum amount of antisolvent until the point when the flocculation of CSNCs just begin to occur instead of fully precipitated the CSNCs.

The main advantage of the PR method is that it is scalable, hence, this method is favorite amongst scientists as a primary purification technique for CSNCs since the beginning. However, this method has certain drawbacks. For example, often the solubility properties of the impurities in as-synthesized CSNCs solution can be found almost similar to that of CSNCs, which make them difficult to isolate them from the impurities by this method. Another drawback of this method is, it can cause a substantial damage to the CSNCs surface, which negatively affect to their physical properties. For example, in 2012, Hens's group have showed that methanol, an antisolvent, displaces the native ligand from CSNC surface by reacting with the surface of that CSNC, which reduces the stability of the CSNC, also negatively affected its optical properties.

Extraction

A liquid-liquid extraction process can be exploited as a purification technique for the CSNCs. When an extracting solvent is introduced to the as-synthesized CSNC solution, due to the partition coefficient, CSNCs and impurities are redistributed to different phases. This method has an advantage over the previously discussed PR method is that it is a much gentler process than PR method. Because, during extraction, the CSNCs tends to stay in their native phase, hence unwanted irreversible aggregation of CSNCs is less likely to occur.

A disadvantage of this method is that it requires a multiple extraction cycle to achieve an effective extraction, which is time-consuming. In addition to this, similarity in polarity between impurities and CSNCs greatly limits its efficiency as a purification method for CSNCs. To increase the extraction efficiency, sometimes a co-extractants can be used along with primary extracting solvent. A combination of both PR method and extraction method often can lead to a better purification of CSNCs.

Purification based on Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis techniques are common as a purification technique for primarily proteins, DNA and RNA. Electrophoresis techniques exploit the mobility of two or more different species - different by their size, charge or binding affinity - under an electric field to separate them from one another. Nano-scientists, also use electrophoresis to separate CSNCs from impurities. Multiple evidence shows that CSNCs can be purified effectively by means of gel-electrophoresis techniques. However, as purification of CSNCs via gel-electrophoresis is highly time-consuming, recently, nano-scientists are shifting towards more advanced free-flow electrophoresis (FFE) and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) techniques.

Applications
One of the most important properties of core–shell semiconducting nanocrystals (CSSNCs) is that their cores, which are quantum dots, fluoresce, which is important in their biomedical and optical applications. The shells are highly modular, and thus the bulk properties, such as solubility and activity of the CSSNCs can be changed.

Biomedical applications

The properties desired of CSSNCs when using them for biological applications include high quantum yield, narrow fluorescence emission, broad absorption profile, stability against photobleaching, 20 second fluorescent lifetime, and high brightness. High quantum yields mean that minimal energy will need to be put into the quantum dot to induce fluorescence. A narrow fluorescence emission allows for multiple colors to be imaged at once without color overlap between different types of CSSNCs. Having a broad absorption profile allows multiple CSSNCs to be excited at the same wavelength and thus, multiple CSSNCs could be imaged simultaneously. Having a 20-second fluorescent lifetime allows for time-resolved bioimaging. The utility of CSSNCs is that they can be a complement to organic fluorophores. CSSNCs are less susceptible to photobleaching, but less is known about them compared to organic fluorophores. CSSNCs have 100–1000 times the two-photon fluorescence efficiency as organic dyes, exemplifying their value.
In the cases where CSSNCs are used in biological medium, the core is a quantum dot and the shell can be an organic molecule or biological ligands, such as a DNA, that are used for biocompatibility and targeting. The shell can also be an organic molecule to which a biological molecule is later conjugated, furthering the modularity of core–shell structure. The most popular core/shell pair used is CdSe core with ZnS or CdS shell, which improves the quantum yield and protects against photobleaching compared to that of the core material alone. The size of the CSSNC is directly correlated to the color of fluorescence, so being able to control particle size is desirable. However, it is generally unknown how the shell molecules, and salt concentration, pH, and temperature of the media affect the CSSNCs' properties and remains empirical.

In vitro cell labeling

Because multiple colors can be imaged, CSSNCs' ability to be used in cell labeling is of growing importance. However, it can be difficult to get CSSNCs across the cell membrane. This has been achieved via endocytosis (the most common method), direct microinjection, and electroporation, and once in the cell, they become concentrated in the nucleus and can stay there for extended periods of time. Once CSSNCs are inside cells, they remain even after cellular division and can be imaged in both mother and daughter cells. This particular technique was shown using Xenopus embryos. Another example of CSSNCs is seen in their tracking ability; when cells are gown on a 2D matrix embedded with CSSNCs, cells uptake the CSSNCs as they move, leaving a trail seen as the absence of CSSNCs. This means that the mobility of cells can be imaged, which is important since the metastatic potential of breast tissue cells has been shown to increase with mobility. Also, it has been shown that five different toxins can be detected using five different CSSNCs simultaneously.

In a move toward environmentally friendlier and less toxic CSSNCs, Si quantum dots with various shells have been developed. Si is 10 times safer than Cd and current work is focused on making Si more water-soluble and biocompatible. In particular, Si quantum dots with poly (acrylic acid) and allylamine shells have been used in cell labeling. Other in vitro uses include flow cyclometry, pathogen detection, and genomic and proteomic detection.

In vivo and deep tissue imaging

Because CSSNCs emit in the near-infrared region (700–900 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum, imaging them is not complicated by autofluorescence of tissue, which occurs at higher frequencies (400–600 nm), and scattering effects. This has been used in the mapping of sentinel lymph-nodes in cancer surgery in animals. Lymph nodes 1 cm deep were imaged and the excised nodes with CSSNC accumulation were found to have the highest probability for containing metastatic cells. In addition, CSSNCs have been shown to remain fluorescent in cells in vivo for 4 months. To track and diagnose cancer cells, labeled squamous carminoma cell-line U14 cells were used and fluorescent images could be seen after 6h. CSSNCs conjugated to doxorubicin were also used to target, image, and sense prostate cancer cells that express the prostate-specific membrane antigen protein. Using a cancer-specific antibody conjugated to QDs with polymer shells is the most popular in tumor targeted imaging.

The main disadvantage of using CSSNCs for in vivo imaging is the lack of information about their excretion and toxicity. The typical cores used show DNA damage and toxicity toward liver cells, but using shells seems to diminish this effect. The use of other substances in the core, such as rare-earth elements and Si, are being explored to reduce toxicity. Other disadvantages include limited commercial availability, variability in surface chemistry, nonspecific binding, and instrument limitation.

Optics
The size, shape, and composition of the core–shell structure are related to the bandgap, which in turn is related to its optical properties. Thus, by modulating the size, shape, and material of the core, the optics can be tuned and optimized for use in optical devices and applications such as LEDs, detectors, lasers, phosphors, and photovoltaics.

LEDs
Currently, CSSNC LED efficiency is less than that of organic LEDs. However, studies show that they have potential to accomplish what organic LEDs cannot. CSSNC LEDs constructed using multiple layers of CSSNCs resulted in poor conduction, charge imbalance, low luminescence efficiency, and a large number of pinhole defects. LEDs constructed of one monolayer avoid these problems. An advantage of CSSNC LEDs over organic LEDs is that CSSNC LEDs have narrower emissions, as narrow as 32 nm, than organic LEDs, which range from 50–100 nm. Specifically, the core–shell motif is desirable for use in LEDs because of their electroluminescence and photoluminescence quantum efficiencies and their ability to be processed into devices easily. Current aims for LED displays include developing materials with wavelength emissions of 610–620 nm for red displays, 525–530 nm for green displays, and 460–470 nm for blue displays. This is because these wavelengths maximize the perceived power and they lie outside of the National Television System Committee standard color triangle. CSSNCs have been synthesized that meet these wavelength emissions: (CdSe)ZnS for red emission, (CdS)ZnS for blue emission, and (CdxZn1−xSe)CdyZn1−yS for the green emission. Using CdSe core and ZnS or CdS/ZnS shells, the maximum luminance values of red, orange, yellow and green LEDs were improved to 9,064, 3,200, 4,470 and 3,700 cd m−2, respectively; electroluminescent efficiency (1.1–2.8 cd A−1), and turn-on voltages (3–4 V) were also increased.

Lasers
In CSSNCs with only one exciton, absorption and stimulated emission occur equally and in CSSNCs with more than one exciton, non-radiative Auger recombination occurs, which decays optical gain, an important quality in lasers. However, type II CSSNCs, CdS/ZnSe, were used in optical amplification from stimulated emission of single-exciton states, eliminating Auger recombination. This has the advantage that lasing threshold could be lowered under continuous wave excitation, enhancing the potential of CSSNCs as optical gain media. Type II CSSNCs separate the electrons and holes of the exciton pair, which leads to a strong electric field and thus, reducing absorption losses.

Phosphors
By combining the modularity of CSSNCs and stability of organic polymer, a broad range of colors of phosphors were developed. CdSe core/ZnS shell CSSNCs are used to generate bluish green to red colors, and (CdS)ZnS QDs are used to generate violet to blue colors. By mixing the appropriate amounts of the different sizes of CSSNCs, the entire visible range with narrow emission profiles and high photoluminescence quantum yields can be achieved.

Dye-sensitized solar cells
ZnO-TiO2 core-shell nano-structures were synthesized with fast electron transport and high surface area combining the properties of ZnO nanorods and TiO2 nano particles. As ZnO nanorods have fast electron transport and TiO2 nano-particles have high surface area. ZnO-MgO core-shell nanowires were synthesized improving the efficiency of the dye sensitized solar cells by 400% when compared to the ZnO nanowires. MgO shell acts as efficient insulating tunnel preventing recombination.

It's Khaled Said's birthday today, and people are using the occasion to carry the momentum till tomorrow. Khaled Said is a young man who was brutally murdered in the street of Alexandria last summer by plain-clothed policemen who found out that he got a hold of a video that showed policemen splitting drugs they had just captured from drug dealers.
The photo of the young man's broken face as he lays dead in the morgue spread like fire in the Egyptian blog sphere and in the streets. It gave a face to police brutality.
Today, he would've been 29. This cartoon shows a cake with Said's face falling on Habib Al-Adly, the longest serving minister of Interior in Egypt's history. An online group was formed on Facebook to find justice for Khaled, it's called "We're All Khaled Said". ("ElShaheeed" means the Martyr.) After the events in Tunisia, when the people in Egypt and everywhere in the Arab world realized "Hey, maybe we can do that too," this group created an event page on Facebook calling people to protest on Jan 25 the "Day of the Police" (which celebrate police officers courage against British military in the Suez-Canal city of Ismalia where 50+ officers where killed in clashes in 1951). The Day of the Police became a national holiday in recent years and it was fitting to protest police brutality on the day of the police. About 80,000 people RSVPed the event on Facebook.


October 12-13 saw the staging of The International Top Dealer Forum, Europe's only event dedicated to strategic and operational topics connected to Italian and European dealers. The success reaped by the last edition and this year's wide-ranging event programme led to a 25% rise in the number of participants, leaving no vacancies in the 240 seats available at the breathtaking setting of Palazzo della Ragione – the seat of the Regional Government – a historical Verona building dating back to the XII century.
The number of Dealers attending the Forum was astonishing: a 30% increase on the 2011 edition, with Italy's largest Dealers gathering for a unique opportunity to meet and discuss current topics and issues affecting the automotive business.
The event was also a chance to exchange ideas with the main international participants, who shared with the audience the experience gathered in France, UK, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Turkey and USA.
This is just one of Quintegia's many initiatives involving large companies of the automotive industry. It is worthwhile to mention the research projects carried out by the Centro Ricerche Quintegia; in addition, the calendar has more meetings and events in store offering professional update and business development opportunities.

A physical altercation between a suspended Wits student and an audience member was just one of the many disruptions at a discussion about transformation at Wits University last night.
The discussion hosted by the Faculty of Health Sciences for their annual Ethics Alive Symposium included the Vice-Chancellors Adam Habib (Wits University), Max Price (University of Cape Town – UCT), Dan Kgwadi (North West University – NWU) and Mvuyo Tom (University of Fort Hare), along with struggle veteran and Wits alumnus George Bizos. Suspended student, Zama Mthunzi, who came into the venue wearing a t-shirt that read: Habib, Price kill Black lives," was later removed by private security guards.

The unidentified man that he got into an altercation with was not removed leading to calls for his eviction from some remaining students who proceeded to interrupt the presentations of the speakers.

Habib then intervened and told the audience that "nobody is going anywhere", and if the students could not let the speakers finish then they could leave.

Matters further escalated when another member in the audience said to the students "if you don't want to be here then f**k off."

In a statement released earlier today, Wits University confirmed that a suspended student had been "escorted off the campus." Furthermore, the student was "reported to the police for violating a court order". An audience member, who identified herself as an alumni of the university raised her concerns about the caustic relationship between the students, the vice chancellor and administration. "This policing of students, security and private militarisation is heart-breaking and only aggravates the relationship between the students and this administration," she said.
Medical student, Nyabinghi Ngobeni, reminded Habib that last night's event was the first time since last year's protests that he has met with the students. "It's disrespectful," she said because the event should have been a student platform and everyone else there should have be disregarded."
The gathering eventually concluded with an address by Wits alumnus and struggle stalwart Advocate George Bizos.

PnB Rock & Fetty Wap
PnB Rock and Fetty Wap join forces for a new mixtape, "Money, Hoes & Flows."
Lately, Philly-bred rapper PnB Rock has been on a freestyle tear, dropping off his own takes on records like Kanye West's "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" and Lil Yachty's "Minnesota." Today he takes a break from the freestyle releases with an entire project's worth of material with his frequent collaborator and co-signer Fetty Wap, hosted by DJ Drama. The two melodic-driven rappers team up for a total of nine tracks, with three records in the twelve-song effort being PnB Rock solo cuts. We get two features, one from Remy Boy Monty and one from A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
Take a listen, and keep an eye out for PnB Rock's episode of On The Come Up to drop tomorrow.

I'm so excited to share this recipe with all of you, just because it came out so well and is a great refreshing treat for the upcoming hot summer days! I've been wanting to create a key lime pie for a while now, and since I'm all into raw desserts lately, I figured why no make it raw (as it's much easier and pleasant to make during summer)? The result is amazing and I've been using this pie in all sorts of combinations, whether as a simple afternoon treat or chopped up on top of my smoothie/ nice cream bowls! The combination of coconut and lime is great for itself, but the buckwheat in the crust makes it amazingly crunchy and a real fun treat to indulge in during these boiling hot days!
but also amazingly creamy with the perfect amount of crunchiness in the crust! 🙂 You're gonna love it! For the perfect texture, make sure to let the pie cool down at room temperature for a bit (depends on how warm it is outside). Since it is boiling hot here at the moment, it only took me about 2 minutes to reach the perfect smoothness, so make sure to check because you don't want it to become too soft!
I decided to use my new fluted rectangular baking tin (14.4 x 5.1 x 1.2 inches) for this one, as I really like that you can cut it up in small slices, but feel free to use any other shape!
Place all the crust ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until you get a sticky crust (if it's too tough to combine, add 1-2 Tbsp of warm water).
Take the crust and place it into your baking tin. Press the mixture evenly down with your hands and let it chill in the fridge.
In the meantime, place all the filling ingredients into the blender and mix until combined. Taste the filling to see if you want to add more lime/ matcha).
Pour the filling over the crust layer and place the tin into the freezer for about 2-3 hours or until it reaches the desired consistency!
Top with lime zest and shredded coconut!

Sexual Harassment FAQ
Boston Employment Lawyer ǀ Exclusively Representing Employees
1. Sexual Harassment Laws 2. Posting & Training Requirements 3. Employer's Duty to Investigate 4. Relevance of Workplace Attire 5. What should I do?
Is sexual harassment in the workplace illegal?
Yes. Sexual harassment is prohibited under both the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act and Title VII. Under Massachusetts law, the Supreme Judicial Court in College-Town v. MCAD made clear that sexual harassment constitutes discrimination in violation of M.G.L. c. 151B, §4(1). In addition, M.G.L. c. 214, §1C specifically forbids sexual harassment and grants the Massachusetts Superior Courts jurisdiction to hear such cases and enforce awards. As detailed here, there are two types of sexual harassment: hostile work environment and quid pro quo.
What are my employer's obligations to promote a workplace free from sexual harassment?
Under Massachusetts law, specifically M.G.L. c. 151B, §3A, employers are required to adopt a policy against sexual harassment that includes "a statement of the range of consequences for employees who are found to have committed sexual harassment" and that details a process for reporting sexual harassment. In addition, Massachusetts employers must provide new employees with it's sexual harassment policy and provide the same to all employees annually. Finally, Massachusetts law also encourages companies to conduct education and training programs for new employees, especially those with supervisory and managerial authority, within one year of commencement of employment.
Is my employer required to investigate sexual harassment?
Yes. In Chapin v. University of Massachusetts at Lowell, the District Court of Massachusetts observed that a "deaf ear from management may contribute to and encourage the hostility of the workplace, creating an impression that employees may engage in sexual harassment or discrimination with impunity." In doing so, the court concluded that a supervisory employee's failure to investigate known sexual harassment in the workplace is actionable as a separate violation of aiding and abetting discrimination under M.G.L. c. 151B, §4(5). In addition, as the College-Town v. MCAD decision established, an employer's failure to take adequate remedial measures in response to sexual harassment concerns, by itself, violates the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act.
Can what I wear to work be used against me?
The ruling in Dahms v. Cognex, in which the Supreme Judicial Court upheld a trial court's decision to admit evidence regarding an employee's attire, has been sensationalized. At trial, the defense relied on the employee's mode of dress (which included costumes at company Halloween parties), speech, and conduct to defeat her sexual harassment claim. In upholding the admission of such evidence, the Court stated that "evidence of a plaintiff's dress and conduct is not relevant per se; judges must take care to ensure that evidence of that nature is allowed only when its probative value outweighs the prejudicial impact to the plaintiff." In doing so, the SJC noted that plaintiff's counsel was the first to reference such evidence at trial, introducing several photographs of her at Halloween parties. Although the Dahms decision is by no means employee-friendly, it certainly does not allow employers to turn a blind eye to sexual harassment in the workplace simply because the target of such harassment is perceived to dress provocatively.
What should I do if I experience sexual harassment?
To ensure that your interests are protected, contact an attorney experienced with handling sexual harassment claims on behalf of employees. In representing victims of sexual harassment, we thoroughly review all pertinent facts and gather evidence, provide ongoing advice during any company investigation that may follow, and develop a strategy to accomplish your goals. When faced with a report of sexual harassment, an employer will rely on it's own team of lawyers who, among other things, will attempt to minimize the company's liability – often times at the victim's expense.

Many hope suspension will be lesson learned for Busch
Comments Off on Many hope suspension will be lesson learned for Busch
By RICK MINTER / Universal Uclick
The big question surrounding Kurt Busch – on NASCAR probation until the end of the year, and just coming off a one-week suspension for cursing a reporter – is whether the suspension got his attention.
In the past, suspensions have proven to be an effective way of letting a driver know that NASCAR officials are in charge of the sport and expect their standards for behavior on and off the track to be followed.
It worked for Kevin Harvick, Jimmy Spencer and even Kyle Busch in the fairly recent past, and according to some, it could work again in Kurt Busch's case.
"Kurt Busch's suspension is long overdue, and that is coming from someone who learned his lesson after sitting out a race for punching him a few years ago," Spencer said. "Kurt has been given plenty of chances to right his wrongs and put himself back on the right path, but he has failed to take advantage of any of those opportunities.
"NASCAR had to do something to restore a sense of respect toward the sport on Kurt's behalf, because he seems to consistently flaunt his disrespect for everything and everyone in this sport. Maybe sitting out and watching the race from the pit box or his couch will wake him up to how great he really has it."
Spencer said his own suspension back in 2003 for slapping Busch in the garage at Michigan had a positive effect on him.
"I can say that my suspension was extremely upsetting to me, but it made me a better person off the track," he said. "That's what Kurt needs now, and I hope this helps him.
It seems to have straightened his little brother, Kyle, out, and I hope the same is true for Kurt."
Jeff Gordon told reporters at Pocono that he hopes Busch can bounce back.
"I think he could have such a bright future in this sport," Gordon said. "I think that you continue to hope that a guy learns his lesson, and a guy can pull it together. I'm sure in his mind this is a minor incident and didn't justify what happened, but eventually you have to start straightening up your act, and utilizing your talent on the race track to earn the respect.
"This, unfortunately, is a step backwards for him."
Tony Stewart, who is both a car owner and driver, said how sponsors react will play a major role in determining Busch's future.
"Half of the battle is getting a good partner and sponsor, and if the sponsors are leery, then it puts you in a bad spot as an owner, unless you have unlimited funding and can just put in there whoever you want," he said. "It's definitely a huge concern."

Years ago a friend of mine died under the ice of the river and the first thought that came to me was the old authors tool of the hero's frozen death. I am going to give up fiction. Falling for a character hurts too much when they are killed off to move the plot along.

Some of the most interesting and important voices on AI
Fredrik Heintz
Artificial Intelligence - What is it and Where are we going?
Self driving cars, intelligent robots and computers with superhuman performance in games like Go and Poker was previously science fiction. Today it is reality. Or? What is state of the art in artificial intelligence (AI)? What are the consequences for society? This talk will explore these questions at the limit of what science and engineering can do today. Be prepared as it is not unlikely that you leave with more questions than answers.
Fredrik Heintz is one of the biggest names in Sweden when it comes to AI. You want proof? Despite being an associate professor at Linköping University where he does research on AI och autonomous systems, Fredrik is the chairman of the Swedish AI Society and he's the director of the graduate school of Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Programs (WASP) with almost 300 PhD students. He was also on the EU commission's High Level Expert Group on AI. Needless to say, Fredrik Heintz is a top dog in the area AI. The knowledge he has to share is extremely valuable for people to take part of, which is why we're very happy that Fredrik will share it at KVIT.
Peter Gärdenfors (will participate on Zoom)
Discussion: The Future of AI and Man's Place in it
Peter Gärdenfors is a senior professor of Cognitive Science and an internationally acknowledged philosopher. He has for a long time been leading pioneering research in the area of cognition. He has also written several books on the subject. Not the least, Peter has been given perhaps the greatest honor a Swedish scientific researcher can be given - being chosen as a member of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Peter Gärdenfors has for a long time been a great friend of KVIT, something we truly take an enormous amount of pride in.
Sofia Thunberg
The Role of Man in a World of Robots
This lecture will shed light on the relationship between man and robots. Is there a limit for what is only human, and will robots and man be able to live in symbiosis? Sofia will present different types of robots and their role in society today and in the future. You will leave with new insights on AI and robotics, and topics that will be addressed are how they affect digital exclusion, ethics, law, philosophy, change management and trust.
Sofia Thunberg is a PhD student in Cognitive Science at Linköping University on the topic human-robot interaction, and she also runs her own robotics company. She's shown a great amount of skills in the area of robots and how they affect humans, and Sofia's dissertation is on social robots for the elderly. She's also the team captain of the Swedish national team in social service robotics. Sofia is one of LiU's great promises and KVIT are very excited to let you all take part of what she has to say.
Christer Sturmark (will participate on Zoom)
Christer Sturmark has for more than 20 years been a recognized face in Sweden in the areas of technology and society, where he's acted as a thinker as well as an entrepreneur. In the year of 1994 Christer released the book Internet@Sverige which has been described as the first Swedish book about the internet. He was early on writing för Dagens Nyheter on the subject of how technology was growing in society. Since he was studying computer science and mathematics at Uppsala university, Christer has had a special interest in the area of AI. Beyond the technological sector Christer has also made a name in the intellectual sphere, where he's been recognized as a philosophical writer as well as a publisher. He's the CEO and one of the founders of the publishing house Fri Tanke, who has been responsible for the Swedish editions of books written by authors such as Sam Harris, Rebecca Goldstein, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, Nick Bostrom, Patricia Churchland and many more.
Fredrik Löfgren
AI and the Future – Threats and Opportunities
(This lecture will be held in Swedish)
The industrial revolution saw us starting to rely on mechanical rather than biological muscles. Today, we're on the verge of a new paradigm shift. "The big difference is that we will not be replacing our muscles — but our brains". Fredrik Löfgren presents concrete examples of how robots are widely used in various industries and how these can affect people's quality of life. How will the future labor market change and what new exciting jobs will be created? Technology is so much more than just choosing the right algorithms, there are many ethical considerations and moral dilemmas. Fredrik touches on these more like a philosopher than the engineer he is.
Fredrik Löfgren is truly an expert in the areas of AI and robotics. He's been developing the robots of the future and he's been competing in the Olympics of robotics. Fredrik has also won the televised competition "Genikampen" on SVT. Fredrik has been described as a visionary in the future of robots and AI, where Fredrik studies how artificial intelligence affects our society. He's a celebrated speaker whose lectures have reached the ears of people such as the former prime minister Göran Person and Crown Princess Victoria.
From Tribal Days to Cyberspace!
Besides having a PhD in organic chemistry Ashkan Fardost is an expert in the area of digitalization and its future. He says his goal is to "inspire for change and give a deep understanding of how digital technology affects society, industries and human behaviour". He combines the areas of technology, philosophy and anthropology to gain insight in how humans and technology evolve through time. Ashkan is an amazing speaker who has been holding lectures at events such as TEDxBerlin, and in 2017 he was nominated as Sweden's Speaker of the Year.
Carolina Olsson
Carolina is a well known face for many in the region as moderator of LiU Game Conference, C Awards, East Sweden Hack and of course - KVIT 2019. With a background in history and behaviour science she is now using her experiences to create opportunities for the technologies of the future. Carolina works with LEAD, the business incubator at LiU, where she helps turn ideas into businesses. Just like last year KVIT are glad to have Carolina as our moderator for the day.

Kukicha (Loose Leaf) is known as "twig tea," as it is made up of the parts of the tea plant that are not commonly used in typical teas and tea blends; twigs, stalks and stems.
Davidson's Kukicha (Loose Leaf) carries a nut-like, creamy flavor profile.
Davidson's Kukicha is sourced from Shaoxing County, in the Zhengjiang Province of China. Davidson's co-owner, Kunall Patel, takes the time to visit our Chinese small farmers often to understand their cultivation practices. Here he is standing amongst the tea plants during a tour of the land.
Generally, kukicha's ingredients come from sencha or matcha green teas after processing. Shaoxing County, where Davidson's sources its kukicha, is known for its rolling hills and network of rivers. The small tea farms are located just east of the Kuaiji Mountain. The landscape in this area is at an incline, allowing for natural irrigation and plenty of sun exposure.


In 1967, when Carl Stokes became the first black mayor of a major U.S. city, the Plain Dealer called what the most "sophisticated city on the face of the earth"?
50/50 leaves New Orleans and Cleveland.
Rich goes with the audience.

Rich and the audience were probably led astray because the question was looking for a major U.S. city.
I'd have confidently answered "Detroit," without using lifelines, and gone home. Yet another "false memory."
But I notice most of the audience was with me, too. Wonder if this is another Sinbad-Shaquille-Shazam-Kazaam moment?
No love for "the mistake on the lake".

Q: Signal R Javascript client - Is the connection being re-used? I have an MVC5 application using signal R. In the code i have created a connection to signalR. Some pages consist of the layout which contains client methods and views which also create client methods (added using "Define method on client (without the generated proxy, or when adding after calling the start method)" in the asp.net documentation.
Code from Layout:
var myHub = $.connection.signalRHub;
myHub.client.clientfunction = function () {
    functionToCall();
        };
$.connection.hub.start();

Code from view:
var connection = $.hubConnection();

var myHubProxy = connection.createHubProxy('signalRHub');
myHubProxy.on('anotherFunction', function (trnID) {
        anotherFunctionToCall();
    });

connection.start();
});

When switching between pages in the application it looks as though many connections are being created. Each time a page is loaded and different views selected, a new connect?transport=... line is created in the Chrome Developer Tools, Network log. The event stream for each of these is the same. Is this expected behaviour?
Update 1:
After switching pages several times the application stops responding
