Hydrogen Breakthrough Begins

Hydrogen Breakthrough Begins Hydrogen Breakthrough Begins Hydrogen Breakthrough BeginsAutonomously driven vehicles and electric-powered cars flaunt technologies that are beginning to capture the imagination of the public. Tesla is the poster child for electric-powered cars, but the Chevrolet Volt is gaining. Another technology is lagging, but it wont go away and its proponents think it could rapidly surpass its rivals if the next round of research shakes out.Hydrogen is the other alternative fuel, and though it is unclear what the new Trump administration thinks about it, car manufacturers and researchers are moving ahead. Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota already offer hydrogen-fueled cars, but storage remains an issue. For now, stakeholders are focusing on hydrogen infrastructure focused on high-pressure storage or very cold temperatures.But other work is being done to make storage better and more economic, delivering hydrogen at lower pressure and higher on-board densities. An Indiana st artup born from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis is taking a National Science Foundation grant to prove a low-pressure solid-state delivery system. Peter Schubert, founder of Green Fortress Engineering Inc. and prof of electrical and computer engineering, says his system has the potential to be disruptive by delivering hydrogen at low pressures of eight bars or even less. Now, compressed hydrogen gas is stored at 700 bar, or atmospheres of pressure.Schubert, also the director IUPUs Richard G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy, says the key lies in using cheaper and more abundant materials. Metal hydrides are the preferred catalyst in existing low-pressure storage systems and have been used for a long time. But they give off a lot of heat during recharge, up to 500 degrees Centigrade. That makes dissipating heat more complicated, says Schubert.Schuberts system will use less expensive and more common silicon, rather than metal hydrides. Using ansicht less-expensive ma terials could make solid-state hydrogen storage available to every economic market, he says.Solid-state hydrogen storage provides a much greater volumetric capacity than gaseous or liquid H2. Source Brookhaven National LabaratoryBut the long-range effects could even be greater, he says. Silicon is almost ubiquitous, used in manufacturing computer chips and solar panels. The fledgling technology would allow homeowners or businesses to generate their own hydrogen using rooftop solar panels to split water. Storing it as hydrogen in silicon, a home could theoretically be fueled overnight or over a number of days. With solar panels and water, you could have all the utility needs for a lifetime, says Schubert. And on a cost curve of less than $8 per kwh, it could clobber batteries and completely disrupt energy supply.Thats a grand plan, but Schubert thinks its future isnt that far away if the next research steps are successful. The first phase is performing the first gaseous recharge of a solid-state hydrogen storage media, to make valid the theoretical work that led to the NSF grant. That includes working with polycrystalline silicon and metallurgical grade silicon, something not yet attempted. That would be followed by construction of a one-tenth scale radio-controlled car fitted with a fuel cell and hydrogen storage media.Other researchers are looking at hydrogen storage a little differently. A Florida State University professor is designing new materials to store hydrogen more efficiently. In an article published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Jose L. Mendoza-Cortes used computer simulations and mathematical equations to describe porous materials of transition metals that cause hydrogen to bond to it.Made of earth abundant materials such as cobalt, iron or nickel, the materials could be placed or manufactured within a fuel tank. Because the hydrogen molecules bond to the material, more hydrogen could be fitted in and condensed into a tank. Furt her, because hydrogen bonds to the material, the tank never really would reach the empty level, claims the assistant professor of chemical engineering.More hydrogen can be stored at lower pressure and room temperatures, making some of these materials good for practical use, he says.Hydrogen can be made into a liquid at 1 bar and 20 degrees Kelvin, or minus-423 degrees Fahrenheit, and stored at 71 grams per liter. At 700 bar and 298 degrees Kelvin, 76.7 degrees Fahrenheit, it is stored at 37 grams per liter. Mendoza-Cortes materials promise hydrogen storage at less than 200 bar at room temperature.Current compressed hydrogen systems require large facilities to pressurize the gas to 10,000 lb per square inch. Fuel tanks must be super strong to handle the pressure, notes Schubert. His system operating at 8 bar allows for using a much lighter tank.Schubert says his real passion is space-based solar power, putting solar panels in space where they would generate electricity almost continu ally, relaying the power to earth. He actually thought of using silcon as a medium when writing a novel about hydrogen and the space program.It was a plot device, he says. I thoughtSiliconand it is pourous. No one had proposed anything like that before.Schubert was working in the private sector at the time, and worked on the idea with the approval of his employer. The theoretical work proved fruitful, and he was awarded the patents for the system, which now belong to IUPU. If the next step is successful, he thinks a working commercial system may be five or six years away. Coupled with another plan to produce hydrogen from biomass on a local scale, he thinks hydrogen-powered cars could give electric-powered competitors a good run for their money.Learn more about the latest energy technologies atASMEs Power and Energy.

New neuroscience reveals 5 rituals that will make you happy

New neuroscience reveals 5 rituals that will make you happyNew neuroscience reveals 5 rituals that will make you happyYou want to be happy. Unfortunately, yur brain is not always in a cooperating kind of mood. What gives?Honestly, happiness is not a helpful goal. Yeah, you heard me. Its too vague and abstract. Ask people to define happiness and youll either get unhelpful, cliche answers or it will quickly devolve into a 2AM-dorm-room-philosophy-discussion. And plenty of research shows were not always very good at predictingwhat makes us happy.But our brain tries.Hard. Its a natural pattern-recognition machine, looking for what works and what doesnt, generalizing experience, making predictions and registering feedback.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraBut sometimes it makes a wrong turn, we develop bad habits and we dont even know what street happy is on anymora. We get into a down ward spiral thats no fun and the world needs that about as much as it needs another true crime podcast.The good news is we actually have a lot of control over our happiness - if we can get past that vague word and think about the concrete actions to take to get there. Stusies show40% of our happinessis within our control. (If that doesnt sound like a lot, think back to school - 40% is the difference between an A and an F.)So by doing the right things we can form better habits and create an upward happiness spiral. This is backed by a very serious pinky swear from yours truly. But dont trust me. Lets get the specifics from an expertalexanderplatz Korbis a neuroscientist at UCLA in the department of psychiatry and author ofThe Upward Spiral Workbook. Were gonna break down some of what Alex recommends and learn what your grey matter really needs in order to maximally increase smile production.Lets get to itChallenge Unhelpful ThoughtsThat sounds a little weird but the wording is quit e deliberate. When were feeling sad we get a little too focused on what is true and not what is helpful.Plenty of stuff is true. Cancer is true. Youre gonna die one day is true. Is an excessive amount of time thinking about it helpful if happiness is your goal?We think happiness is about money or love or success but the truth is your happiness is most determined by the thoughts in your head because thats what has your attention the vast majority of the time. Now you cant control what thoughts pop up but you can decide what is helpful and choose not to give the unhelpful thoughts any more attention than they deserve.And the other big problem we have with thoughts is just taking them way too seriously. Theyre suggestions. Possibilities. But theyre not gospel. Thoughts are often your lower brain talking. You need to get your prefrontal cortex on the case to examine them rigorously before you start acting on silly fears and anxieties.So listen to your thoughts - but dont necessarily be lieve them. Dont run with them until your brains Quality Control Department has signed off.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookBut your thoughts are just thoughts- the whisperings of your limbic system and your striatum. Thoughts are something you have, but they are not who you are. You are not your limbic system. You are not your striatum. Identifying, acknowledging, and reframing unhelpful thoughts will be something well revisit throughout this book. Taking unterstellung small steps helps the prefrontal cortex get a runaway limbic system back under control (Ochsner et al., 2004)All that is fine and dandy but how do we identify thoughts that are unhelpful? Luckily, Alex rounded up the usual suspects1)Black and White Thinking100% good and 100% evil only exist in superhero movies. Frankly, sometimes it would beniceif life welches this clear, but it aint. And when it comes to your mood, youll be a lot happier if you realize there are heaping piles of nuance to most things.2)Unrealistic Expe ctationsDid I say this blog post will make you happy immediately and forever? No. But if youre assuming that, guess who is gonna be disappointed? You. (And me, honestly.) Cynicism is bad but a little skepticism is essential. Consistently unrealistic expectations are a great way to make sure thateverythingin life sucks.3)Selective AttentionIf your brain is always looking for the negative, trust me, youre gonna find it. Most of happiness is perspective. You could read this post and say, Oh my god, this is too much to do Or you can say, Wow, there are so many ways for me to increase my happiness Same facts, different perspective. And they produce very different feelings.4)Disqualifying the PositiveSometimes we go into problem-solving mode and focus only on what is broken. But if you stay in this frame all the time its a one way trip to the world of Zoloft. Plenty of good things happen and you need to appreciate them. Nobody has ever said taking things for granted is a good idea. Life c ould always be worse - but its not. So give that its due.5)Predicting the FutureThis will never work or Theyre going to think Im stupid. You dont know the future. So dont act like you do. (But if you really do, please email me tomorrows lottery numbers. Thanks.)7)Should thoughtsThis is a big one. I suggest banning the word should from your vocabulary. But sheshould Its usually just an insistence that the world bends to your will and is a great way to amplify frustration. (For more on the inherent evils of should clickhere.)Make a list of your most common unhelpful thought patterns. (Having a friend assist you can be good - and humbling.) Labeling these thoughts is powerful. Give them silly names.And next time they hijack your brain, challenge them. Dont beat yourself up. Just play a game of catching yourself in the act, label the thought, and then consider more helpful ways to look at the problem. This is an absurdly powerful habit to get into.(To learn more about how you can lead a successful life, check out my bestselling bookhere.)Okay, lets get outta your head. Too much going on in there already. A big part of life actually takes place outside of it, believe it or not. And if you want to increase happiness, your brain cant treat life like a spectator sport. Youre gonna need toDo mora StuffDealing with unhelpful thought patterns is the hallmark of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and its the single most proven method for boosting mood and reversing depression. But another very powerful scientific technique is Behavioral Activation Therapy.And, frankly, thats a really fancy psychology term for do more stuff.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookYour actions, whether intentional or unintentional, have consequences for the activity and chemistry of key neural circuits. A fact that you can take advantage of to create an upward spiral. This idea is exploited by one of the most effective treatments for depression behavioral activation therapy. Behavioral activation f ocuses on changing unhelpful behaviors that contribute to depression and incorporating more helpful ones. This schriftart of approach has been shown to alter the activity in the emotion regulation, motivation, and habit circuits in the brain- the medial prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and dorsal striatum, respectively (Dichter et al., 2009).We associate depression with lethargy and happiness with energy - accurately. But its a two-way street. A feedback loop. If youre active and doing things, youre less likely to be bogged down ruminating. And if youre idle, it can be easy to dwell on the negative.So you need to get out there and accomplish some big, long-term audacious goals to be happy, right?Wrong. This is a common mistake we make. Big goals are great, but the research confirms the clicheits the little things. Lots of little positives are better for happiness that occasionally bagging an elephant.Arrange your life so that you have lot of little positives coming your way , and that you take the time to appreciate them. And the best way to make sure that happens is todo more stuff.You want good karma? Well, for the non-Sanskrit speakers among us, karma literally translates as action. You have to do good things to have good stuff come back your way.So what kinda stuff should you be doing more of? Alex has a list of stuff your brain likesEnjoyable stuff News flash - doing fun things can lead to fun.Achievement stuff Defeat your goals in single combat and feel like a conquering hero.Meaningful stuff When was the last time you did volunteer work? Or just helped someone?Physical stuff Exercise. Not only keeps you alive, but its likemiracle grow for your brain.Social stuff We use solitary confinement to punish people, dont we?Be specific. Tailor your do-more-of-this-list to you, personally.What do you enjoy but dont do as often as you like? What makes you feel competent, accomplished, and successful?Now put those things on your calendar. Not metaphoricall y. Schedule them for the coming week. Right now. Cmon. Chop, chop. Get a friend involved to hold you accountable and you can make two brains happier.(To learn the 4-step morning ritual that will make you happy all day, clickhere.)Excuse me for repeating myself but one of the above five stuffs-to-do deserves special attention - because it is the single greatest contributor to happinessGet SocialWhat happens when you study the happiest people around and analyze what they have in common? Researchers did just that.There was a clear answer to what differentiated these people from everyone else. And it wasnt money, smarts, age, gender or race.It was strong relationships.If you want to keep your brain happy, be clear on who your hilfe network is. Know who matters and nurture those relationships. So who isyourinner circle?Aaaaaaand this is where your mind goes blank, so Alex has some questions to help youWho appreciates you or thinks highly of you, whether or not you agree with them?Who is there to help you out if needed?Who can you call, text or visit for emotional support?Who is good with giving you advice or helping you make decisions?Who do you like spending time with?Who can you do activities with?Write the names down. Yeah, now. This is critical Defcon-1 schriftart stuff right here, bubba. Make a list. (If you want to use colored markers and put glitter on the list and title it MY BESTEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD I wont stop you.)Relationship may be a noun but for you and me its a verb. You want to check in with those people. Regularly. What kinda check-ins does your brain like? Science has answers.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookThe best thing to do is talk with the person in real life or meet up for an activity (Sherman, Michikyan, Greenfield, 2013). The next best thing is talking on the phone, which is better than texts or emails. Seeing someone and hearing their voice activates your mirror neuron system in ways that texting cant match.Now go down your list and start sending some texts. Schedule activities or hang-outs if possible. And when you see people, touch them. Dont go all Kevin Spacey on people but research showsphysical contactis much more important than you think.Want to make this logistically easier and even more powerful? Be part of a group that meets regularly.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookGroups can not only help you feel better but also make you feel like youre more in control of your life (Greenaway et al., 2015). Joining a group helps reduce symptoms of depression and can even prevent it in the first place (Cruwys et al., 2013). And it unfortunately works the other way too if you leave a supportive group, you can increase your risk for depression (Seymour-Smith, Cruwys, Haslam, Brodribb, 2017).And I wanna keep it real, so lets cover the less-happy-cheery side of things too not all social time is good time. Some people are jerks. Another way to boost your happiness is to break social ties with toxic folks.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookResearch shows that sometimes it can be beneficial to break social ties (Dingle, Stark, Cruwys, Best, 2015). Other people reinforce our habits, including our social and emotional habits. So if you dont like those habits or the feelings those people trigger, change the people you surround yourself with.Think of your social life like a bonsai tree. You need to water it and fertilize it - but you also need to trim it to keep it healthy.(To learn the 4 harsh truths that will make you a better person, clickhere.)Now some things are not an easy change. Youve probably been trying to improve some areas of your life for years and have shown as much progress as a blind man in an art appreciation class. So how can we work with our brains to break bad habits?Slay Unhelpful Habits - GentlyIve already posted a lot about the science ofbreaking bad habits and creating good ones. But what are the neuroscience-y bits here that often get neglected when we try to improve habit s?Feelings.Often, discussion of habit-making and breaking is mechanical. And your brain isnt very mechanical.When youre trying to quit bad habits you often get critical with yourself which leads to bad feelings that make you cave and go back to your old ways.Now self-criticism does activate the mistake region of the brain to help us regulate our behavior. But it can also easily lead to bad moods. So lets activate a different networkInstead of self-criticism, tryself-reassurance.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookSelf-criticism is one means of activating the prefrontal cortex to try to regulate the limbic system, and its linked to activation of the vorn liegend cingulate- the mistake region of the brain (Longe et al., 2010). But this pattern of thinking can get in the way of making positive change, particularly if youre feeling down and demotivated. By contrast, self-reassurance uses the parts of the PFC that more directly regulate the emotional limbic system. It also activates the insula , the part of the brain that feels things and is linked to empathy. Self-reassurance therefore helps with making positive changes. So you can either feel your emotions empathically and start to make a change or, through old coping habits, avoid feeling them and stay on the same course. The choice is up to you.How do we do that? Ironically, think less about your mistakes and more about the qualities of yourself you like best. Feeling good about yourself gives you the energy and confidence to keep improving.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookResearch has shown that habits can be easier to change if you focus not on your worst qualities but on your best ones (Epton, Harris, Kane, van Koningsbruggen, Sheeran, 2015). Think about what you like most about yourself what qualities of yours would you not want to change? This type of focus is rewarding and activates the nucleus accumbens (Dutcher et al., 2016).Beating yourself up wont make you better. Liking yourself will.(To learn how to have a l ong awesome life, clickhere.)Okay, now is the part where you thank me for all Ive done for you.Huh? Me? Selfish? Jeez, Louise. No, this will benefityou, not meMore Gratty-toodRemember when I said the bulk of happiness is perspective? A lot of people question that one. (For the record, I am right and they are wrong.)Gratitudeis the best example. It feels good.Reallygood. But we forget that. We take things for granted. Think about what matters most to you in life. Loved ones, home, career, health. Now imagine losing them all. Go full-Biblical-Job-story.Now dont just think it,feelit for a second. Losing all those things that mean so muchOkay, thats enough. Back to reality you havent lost anything. But other peoplearein that situation. You arent one of them. Feel lucky? You should.Did you just gain anything? Not really. Did you have to accomplish anything? Nope. Nothing really changed - except yourperspective. You looked around and realized how good you have it. Thats all it takes. You didnt need to buy anything, do anything or accomplish anything. You just had to appreciate what you have and be thankful for it to get a boost.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookGratitude can decrease depression symptoms as well as stress in general, and leads to increased perception of social support (Wood, Maltby, Gillett, Linley, Joseph, 2008). It improves self-esteem and psychological well-being (Lin, 2015). It can even improve your physical health and the quality of your sleep (Hill, Allemand, Roberts, 2013 Wood, Joseph, Lloyd, Atkins, 2009). Gratitude has so many benefits because it affects a wide variety of brain regions and chemicals. Importantly, gratitude has the power to activate the dopamine system, specifically the brain stem region where dopamine is produced (Zahn et al., 2009).Oh, and that gratitude thing is even nicer if you express it to other people. (Contemplating doomsday scenarios alone in your head is great but telling others thank you is less likely to make you cry and wet yourself.)FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookGratitude increases our sense of connection with others. Studies of gratitude have shown that it activates the same medial prefrontal regions that we utilize to understand the perspective of other people and to act compassionately (Fox, Kaplan, Damasio, Damasio, 2015). Part of the reason gratitude can help you feel more connected to others is that in recognizing what you are grateful for, you must acknowledge what you need. And in acknowledging what you need, you become aware of the needs of others too. In addition, many of the benefits of gratitude for others are mediated by the oxytocin system (vanOyen Witviliet, et al., 2018). This is an upward spiral, as gratitude facilitates connection with others and connection with others facilitates gratitude.So write a thank you letter. (Or email. Or text.) You dont even have to send it if you feel awkward. It will make you feel good. In fact, this actually showed effects on the brain fo rmonths.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookOne study asked participants to write gratitude letters and found that it changed gratitude-related activity in their anterior cingulate cortex even several months later (Kini et al., 2016). The anterior cingulate region generally responds to self-relevant stimuli. Thus, as you practice being grateful, positive aspects of your life suddenly become more relevant to you. You wont have to look for them so hard, because your brain will be automatically looking for you.But its better if youdosend that letter. Itll improve your relationship. Itll make two people happy. Heck, itll make me happy as well, so thats three for the price of one.(To learn how to deal with passive-aggressive people, clickhere.)Okay, weve learned a lot. Now is the part where we round everything up and I typically mention one more enticing thing so that you actually read to the bottom.Yes, there will be an enticing thing.So you should read to the bottom.Sum UpHeres how neuroscie nce can make you happyChallenge Unhelpful Thoughts Anytime youre lost in negative thought, dont ask yourself if its true, ask if it is helpful.Do More Stuff More little good things beat few big great things when it comes to happiness. So do more things to get more results. Karma = action.Be Social No man is an island. (At the very least, you are an archipelago.)Slay Unhelpful Habits Thinking about what you like about you is the first step to building a better you.More Gratty-tood You dont need to buy anything or do anything to feel happier. You just need to appreciate what you already have.Ever have something terrible happen and you just laugh? As if for a second, its not your life its a comedy youre watching and the worst thing imaginable just happened to the poor protagonist?This is a great habit to develop. Because years later when we remember those terrible moments what do we do? Often, we laugh. Theyre the funny, embarrassing stories we tell.So laugh now. Your brainloves humora nd it eases pain. We need to take life seriously when making decisions, but when we cant affect outcomes its healthier to take a big picture view. Think of how good a story this will be down the line.FromThe Upward Spiral WorkbookHumor is rewarding and enjoyable, and thus activates the dopamine-rich nucleus accumbens along with the brain stem region that produces dopamine (Mobbs, Greicius, Abdel-Azim, Menon, Reiss, 2003). In addition, humor activates motivational parts of the prefrontal cortex, as well as the amygdala (Bartolo, Benuzzi, Nocetti, Baraldi, Nichelli, 2006). This helps to maintain the important balance between the prefrontal cortex and limbic system that is so essential to long-term well-being.Does this all seem like a lot to do? paintball - thats the wrong perspective, remember?

UCMJ Punitive Article 115 - Malingering

UCMJ Punitive Article 115 - MalingeringUCMJ Punitive Article 115 - MalingeringArticle 115 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) deals with malingering. Although its sort of an outdated word, malingering is a serious offense in the military. It means youre pretending to do the job youre assigned instead of actually doing it, and it carries serious penalties which vary based on a few specific factors. According to the UCMJ The essence of this offense is the design to avoid performance of any work, duty, or service which may properly or normally be expected of one in themilitary service. Whether to avoid all dutyor only a particular job, it is the purpose to shirk which characterizes the offense. Hence, the nature or permanence of a self-inflicted injury is bedrngnis material on the question of guilt, nor is the seriousness of a physical or mental disability which is a ?shame. What Constitutes Malingering in the Military Being found guilty of malingering depends on a few fa ctors. If you know youre assigned to a specific duty or area of work, and pretend to be sick or injured, or if you intentionally hurt yourself to avoid that duty, then you fit the criteria of a malingerer. The UCMJ states Any person subject to this chapter who for the purpose of avoiding work, duty, or service- (1) feigns illness, physical disablement, mental lapse or derangement or(2) intentionally inflicts self-injury shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.Elements.(1) That the accused was assigned toor was aware of prospective assignment to, or availability for, the performance of work, duty, or service(2) That the accused feigned illness, physical disablement, mental lapse or derangement, or intentionally inflicted injury upon himself or herself and(3) That the accuseds purpose or intent in doing so was to avoid the work, duty, or service. Note If the offense was committed in time of war or in a hostile fire pay zone, add the following element(4) That the offense was co mmitted (in time of war) (in a hostile fire pay zone). Punishment for Malingering Depending on the nature of the offense, theres a range of punishment for malingering. If it can be proven that the accused person intentionally injured himself, or pretended to be injured, thats the baseline. If the acts happened during wartime or a hostile war zone, the punishments will be more severe. According to the UCMJ, feigning an injury will get you a dishonorable discharge and a one-year confinement, during which youll forfeit all pay and allowances. Feigning injury during wartime or in a hostile war zone will result in adishonorable discharge, forfeiture of pay and a three-year confinement. For intentionally injuring yourself,which can range from violently hurting yourself to starving yourself to get out of work, you can expect a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of pay and a five-year confinement. If you intentionally injure yourself during war or in a hostile zone, youll be confined fo r 10 years and be dishonorably discharged.
