Ion association in concentrated NaCl brines from ambient to supercritical conditions: results from classical molecular dynamics simulations
2002
Highly concentrated NaCl brines are important geothermal fluids; chloride complexation of metals in such brines increases the solubility of minerals and plays a fundamental role in the genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits. There is experimental evidence that the molecular nature of the NaCl-water system changes over the pressure-temperature range of the Earth's crust. A transition of concentrated NaCl-H.sub.2O brines to a \"hydrous molten salt\" at high P and T has been argued to stabilize an aqueous fluid phase in the deep crust.

Background: Over the course of recent years smartphone and tablet technology has evolved rapidly. Similarly, the sphere of healthcare is constantly developing and striving to embrace the newest forms of technology in order to optimise function. Many opportunities for mobile applications (i.e. 'apps') pertinent to the healthcare sector are now emerging. Objective: This study will consider whether registered pharmacists within the United Kingdom (UK) believe it appropriate to use mobile apps during the provision of healthcare within the community setting. Methods: Further to Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) ethical approval, the 30 item questionnaire was distributed to UK registered pharmacists (n=600) practising within inner city Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle. The questions were formatted as multiple choice, Likert scales or the open answer type. On questionnaire completion and return, data were analysed using simple frequencies, cross tabulations and non-parametric techniques in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (v18). Results: The majority of respondents (78.4% of 211 participants) confirmed that they were confident when using mobile apps on their technology platform. In general, mobile apps were perceived to be useful in facilitating patient consultations (55%) and supporting healthcare education (80%). The main barrier for mobile app use within the workplace was company policy, deemed significant in the case of regional / national chain pharmacies (p<0.001). Pharmacists alluded to the fact that whilst mobile apps demonstrate potential in modern day practise, they will have a greater impact in the future (p<0.001). Conclusion: The data indicate that although pharmacists are supportive of mobile apps in healthcare, a number of factors (i.e. risk, company policy and lack of regulation) may preclude their use in modern day pharmacy practise. Clearly, limitations of the technology must be addressed in order to maximise uptake within healthcare systems. Pharmacists suggest that as the younger generation ages, mobile apps will become a more accepted method by which to manage healthcare in the wider population.

Re Edengate Homes (Butley Hall) Ltd (in liquidation); Lock v Stanley
2022
COMPANY | INSOLVENCY Court of Appeal (Civil Division) 9 May 2022 Asplin, Males and Stuart-Smith LJJ [2022] EWCA Civ 626 [2022] PLSCS 74 Company - Insolvency - Assignment of claim - Set aside - Respondent liquidator bringing claims against appellant alleging transactions at undervalue, preference and misfeasance - Respondent assigning claim to litigation funding company - High Court refusing appellant's application to set aside assignment - Appellant appealing - Whether appellant having standing to make application - Whether respondent's decision to assign being perverse - Appeal dismissed In March 2012, the appellant and her husband formed the company as a special purpose vehicle to acquire and develop Butley Hall, Prestbury, Cheshire. [...]an applicant might qualify as \"a person aggrieved\" by virtue of being a creditor, but would not have a \"legitimate interest\" if its interest in obtaining the relief was contrary to the interests of creditors generally: The judge here purported to apply the Edennote test, which required the judge at first instance to evaluate all the circumstances of the case and be satisfied that the action taken by the liquidator was so utterly unreasonable and absurd that no reasonable man would do it.

The duties of a resulting trustee
The precise duties surrounding express trusts have caused issues enough (as we explore in this journal)—but what of the duties of resulting trustees? They have been considered in the authorities, and have been the subject of academic commentary, but have nevertheless remained somewhat opaque. A recent judgment in the Court of Appeal in Singapore (its highest court) has thoroughly traversed the principal English and Commonwealth authorities and collated the academic articles. It provides a comprehensive and valuable insight into the duties of resulting trustees.

1996
Paul Cézanne counts as the father of modern painting. Far from Paris, in the South of France, his obstinacy as man and artist made him a pioneer of a new way of seeing. Returning always to the same subjets - the Mont Sainte-Victoire, bathing figures, or still lifes - he abandoned central perspective, distorted body-shapes and broke all the traditional rules of landscape painting. Aided by experts, and descendants of the artist, Matthew Collings gives a thorough introduction to Cézanne's life and work, exploring the lifelong artistic quest of the man whom Picasso called \"my only master\".

Master in the making
2009
Turner is hailed as a proto-modernist, a 'painterly' painter concerned more with surface and light than subject matter. But, as Tate Britain's new show, \"Turner and the Masters\", reveals, his originality grew out of a fashionable imitation of the Grand Style. (Author abstract - amended)

Civilisation: a sequel
2007
Matthew Collings explains how he came to make \"This is Civilisation\" for Channel 4. He initially saw it as a remake of Kenneth Clark's \"Civilisation\". It became a series of provocative essays about aspects of the popular idea of what it is to be civilized now and the role of art in the civilizing impulse. For Collings, religion opposed chaos, and art has taken over that role from religion. However, modern art is confused about what that opposition means, taking it as an excuse to make a series of naughty gestures.

Ion association in concentrated NaCI brines from ambient to supercritical conditions: results from classical molecular dynamics simulations
2002
Highly concentrated NaCl brines are important geothermal fluids; chloride complexation of metals in such brines increases the solubility of minerals and plays a fundamental role in the genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits. There is experimental evidence that the molecular nature of the NaCl-water system changes over the pressure-temperature range of the Earth's crust. A transition of concentrated NaCl-H
O brines to a \"hydrous molten salt\" at high
and
has been argued to stabilize an aqueous fluid phase in the deep crust. In this work, we have done molecular dynamic simulations using classical potentials to determine the nature of concentrated (0.5-16
) NaCl-water mixtures under ambient (25°C, 1 bar), hydrothermal (325°C, 1 kbar) and deep crustal (625°C, 15 kbar) conditions. We used the well-established SPCE model for water together with the Smith and Dang Lennard-Jones potentials for the ions (
., 1994,
, 3757). With increasing temperature at 1 kbar, the dielectric constant of water decreases to give extensive ion-association and the formation of polyatomic (Na
Cl
)
clusters in addition to simple NaCl ion pairs. Large polyatomic (Na
Cl
)
clusters resemble what would be expected in a hydrous NaCl melt in which water and NaCl were completely miscible. Although ion association decreases with pressure, temperatures of 625°C are not enough to overcome pressures of 15 kbar; consequently, there is still enhanced Na-Cl association in brines under deep crustal conditions.
