- charge separation (1) (remove)
- Donor-Acceptor Block Copolymers for Charge Separation at Nanostructured Interfaces (2006)
- The motivation for this thesis was the synthesis and characterization of novel materials exhibiting nanostructured interfaces for electro-optical studies. Therefore a series of functionalized block copolymers, acceptor labeled polymers and low molecular weight model compounds were synthesized in which hole transport (donor), electron transport (acceptor) and light absorbing functionalities were incorporated. My approach was to use functionalized block copolymers. Block copolymers exhibit microphase separation with domain sizes on a nanometer scale by the interplay between immiscibility and molecular connectivity. I used a controlled radical polymerization technique, the nitroxide mediated radical polymerization (NMRP), to get block copolymers with one block consisting of an electron transport material and the other one of a hole transport material. Triphenylamine was used as hole conductor in combination with perylene bisimide as dye and electron conductor. First, a soluble perylene bisimide monomer had to be synthesized. This was achieved by an unsymmetrical synthesis starting from the perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic bisanhydride. For the solubility a swallow-tail substituent was introduced and the other imide group was functionalized with an acrylate to get the monomer. Starting the polymerization with 4-vinyltriphenylamine, different PvTPA 23 macroinitiators were synthesized. A series of block copolymers 24C-24F were prepared using the same PvTPA macroinitiator 23C, thus only varying the perylene bisimide block. Furthermore, a series of block copolymers 24A-24C were synthesized using different PvTPA macroinitiators 23A-23C. Thus block copolymers with different molecular weights, but similar ratios of the blocks could be prepared. The controlled nature of NMRP allowed the architecture of these block copolymers with low polydispersities and controlled molecular weight. The block copolymers exhibited microphase separation, revealing elongated nanowire like structures for those with high perylene bisimide content. Most of these block copolymers exhibit a constant width of 13 nm for the nanowire like structure of the perylene bisimides. This was the first examples of microphase separation of block copolymers carrying electron transport and hole transport blocks. The electrochemical properties of the block copolymers were studied using cyclic voltammetry. The LUMO of the perylene bisimide block is -3.65 eV and the HOMO of the triphenylamine block is -5.23 eV. Therefore the maximum built-in potential and theoretically achievable photovoltage Voc is 1.58V. The efficiency of the block copolymer solar cells is one order of magnitude higher than that of the comparable blend device. It could also be shown that the block copolymer in the solar cell is microphase separated, revealing domain sizes from 10 to 50 nm, whereas the blend on the other hand is macrophase separated. This is the first report of charge separation at a nanostructured bulk interface in a block copolymer consisting of an electron transport and a hole transport material exhibiting microphase separation. These results are thus proof-of-principle for the nanostructured bulk heterojunction solar cells using block copolymers. Furthermore, fluorescent acceptor labeled polymers were synthesized using a series of monomers in order to obtain a single dye unit attached to various polymer chains. These polymers were prepared by nitroxide mediated radical polymerization with an alkoxyamine initiator that is covalently bound to a perylene bisimide moiety. It could be shown with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry that a single perylene bisimide unit is incorporated in each polymer chain. By using 4-vinyltriphenylamine monomers bifunctional polymers (8) containing electron donating moieties and a single electron acceptor unit were obtained. The polymerization of standard monomers such as styrene and acrylates, gave polymers (9-12) with only a single electron acceptor unit. Also novel electron acceptors consisting of perylene bisimide and fullerene moieties 15 and 17 were prepared and characterized. Although these dyads do not exhibit any ground state electronic coupling between the individual moieties, the emissive properties of the perylene bisimide units are strongly influenced by the covalently bound fullerene. The fluorescence of the perylene bisimide moiety is quenched by 99 % due to energy and electron transfer between the fullerene and the perylene bisimide. Beside the use as a model system these dyads are also capable of being used in organic solar cells. PCBM, the fullerene derivative which is usually used in polymer solar cells, is barely absorbing light and therefore perylene bisimide functionalized fullerenes may be an alternative as they strongly absorb light in the visible region.

There's a cookie cutter gear plan?
Hello all. I am having a ton of trouble deciding what my gear plan should be. I am currently a 85 prot warrior, and geared w/ 4/5 tier 12 (helm offset currently). I also have the shoulders off Ragnaros. I have a lot of concerns regarding which pieces are best in slot...
I'm considering using tier 12 head, chest, legs, and gloves, and using the Rag shoulders as my offset piece. I know mastery is the biggest stat, w/ parry and then dodge afterwards. But the rag shoulders have less mastery than the tier one, so are they really better? Also, the tier helm has no mastery, where the Helm of Blazing Glory off Baelroc has it.
Also, is the 4 piece bonus really that great? 6% parry increase everytime shield block expires? I've looked at alot of very well geared warriors in the game, and none of them seem to be following a cookie cutter gear plan. Some are using the setup I've mentioned above, and some are only using the tier legs and gloves, utilizing only the 2 piece bonus.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, i'm not a great fan of the four piece bonus, its nice, and if you're less than 6% off unhittable is awesome but other wase i'd prefer to get 2% passive avoidance over 6% 30% of the time. Given the choice I'd go for getting as close to unhittable. I'd take the chest off beth, the tier gloves and legs, the helm of blazing glory and whichever of the shoulders gave more CTCoverage, assuming all of them where sitting in my bags.
I'm a huge fan of 4 piece due to it's accessability for 10m where drops aren't guaranteed but tokens are (to an extent). For 25m it's highly unlikely to never see item x drop over 2-3 months with 5 drops and only 12 items on the loottable.
CTC at ~ 4500+ avoidance rating, -heroic versions-
helmet: Baleroc (parry to dodge) is 0.95% ctc before Tier (parry to mastery)
shoulders: Tier (hit to dodge) is 0.15% ctc before Ragnaros (dodge to parry)
chest: Beth'tilac is 0.42% ctc before Tier (dodge to mastery)
legs: Tier is 0.69% ctc before Shannox (parry to mastery)
But those comparisons and numbers don't take way higher avoidance values into account, eg Ragnaros shoulders are low on mastery but still manage to keep almost on par with small 0.15% ctc gap, providing 281 more avoidance rating (that's 1.16% more avoidance after DR). For chest it's something similar, granted that offset has only two blue sockets the tier one 228 avoidance rating (that's 0.92% more avoidance after DR) ahead at a price of 0.42% ctc.

At the same time, my mastery would be pretty good w/ the Spidersilk Spindle from Beth'tilac and Stay of Execution (reforged to mastery), or even the Essence of the Eternal Flame. And on that note, is that trinket good for warrior tanks? i've seen quite a few top geared warrior tanks using it.
CTC = combat table coverage, thus the chance for miss+dodge+parry+block always trying to push regular hits off the table.
I edited my post above and added some numbers, unless it's the tier head piece (which is just aweful with lots of parry + an offensive stat) every exchange comes at a noticeable price. If you're not running a night elf warrior or with double elixir it's still pretty hard to reach full ctc (102.4%), i feel more comfortable with slightly less mastery (still full ctc at least 2/3 of my tanking time, on tankswap fights like Beth'tilac or Ragnaros it's way more) and more avoidance.
Trinkets: spindle is a nobrainer, Stay of Execution is okayish, i prefer Mirror for resist fights and Essence on anything else to produce some nice numbers.
So i'm thinking of going;
Head: Helm of Blazing Glory
Shoulder: Pauldrons of Roaring Flame
Chest: Carapace of Imbibed Flame
Gloves: Tier
Legs: Tier
This will give the 2 piece bonus, while still allowing me the extra mastery from the helm and chest, as well as being able to use the shoulders off rag.
Having the constant block increase from the mastery seems to be a bit better than the 6% parry increase every time shield block expires.
Anyone see why that wouldn't be as good as a choice as going tier helm/chest/legs/gloves w/ the Ragnaros shoulders as the offset?
With us hovering around 43% avoidance, the 6% parry tends to be a 10.5% damage reduction when we're not on shield block: our most vulnerable time tanking.
I feel like it is a lot stronger than people give it credit for.
1) you don't die when shield block is up
2) it covers 50% of the time when you don't have the shield block buff (when you need it)
3) the stat benefits of the off-pieces get averaged into shield block up time (when you don't need it)
4) You can still reach unhittable easily with 4 set bonus.
With the advent of reforging I'm not convinced that you will ever see 2 offset pieces trump a four set bonus.
"I'll smash you and melt away Coolmint Island!"
I feel silly for asking, but what bracers are you people sporting? I played around with some numbers today, and ended up shocking myself by finding the bracers of regal force (reforging dodge -> mastery) to beat bracers of fiery torment (parry -> dodge) on CTC.
(adding something to the threat, being unhittable for 66% of a fight seems ALOT better than 33% of it to me. you can even delay it if it suits the situation better . Personally, I'm sticking with the 4 set untill I can cap out passively.
Its due to the gem color. They are almost a complete wash, Fiery Torment is a tiny bit better. If your close to unhittable, take Regal Force.
The easy answer: prot warrior BIS is whatever gear gets them to unhittable. This means that you wear what you have to wear to get to 102.4% (after buffs) combined dodge, parry, block, and +5% miss (built in by default).
From there as you get upgrades, you update your go-to gearset up in such a way that you stay at-or-slightly-above 102.4% while maximizing stamina, as well as trading mastery for avoidance when you can. This means that your gearset will probably start out with lots of mastery, and lose some as you get upgrades since you can budget more dodge/parry in your gear instead of mastery. Every piece of gear becomes viable because it advances your gearset in that direction.
While there *is* a BIS list, it's not necessarily something every tank can get ahold of, and even then some of the pieces in the list aren't viable if you don't have the whole thing. You can get the rep ring no problem and it's on the BIS list, but if you don't have the other pieces to support it you may be better off with the Valor ring because it has more unhittable rating on it. Likewise, several of the pieces on the list require Crystallized Firestone upgrades, which are rare as hell still.
This is probably why you're having trouble finding a tank with a specific gearset - it's not the pieces they're wearing, but the purpose they're wearing it for. Their BIS will be different depending on what gear they have available to them to get to 102.4% combined unhittable.
* * * * *
Your observations about the tier helm and Ragnaros shoulders are correct. The helm off Baleroc is definitely superior. However, regarding the Rag. shoulders, you should use them if you can stay at-or-above 102.4% unhittable because they have more Dodge rating, as well as more stamina.
Regarding the 4pc: I use it situationally. I used to use it on Beth'tilac because it was another CD I could chain up during the portions I was actually tanking her. Now I use it during Baleroc for Decimation Blades (pop SB 5s before blades pop out; if you have to taunt, that extra 6% parry will be available when you need it).
Don't throw gear away because it's not on a BIS list. I've been able to find a use for every piece of gear in Firelands so far in different sets. The unhittable set, while very good, isn't viable for every boss (ex.: Shannox has bleeds and an unblockable Arcing Slash, so you favor Stamina).

I have a spreadsheet up covering the tanking pieces available.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aj0C979vKy5tdGQzM0Y1TE13TjlBWGF5Zkc3YU9DR EE&hl=en_US#gid=
Copy, use your own stat weights. Reforging is done automaticly, gemming is done with the weights, and the gems used are shown.
As for 4 piece or not, I see no reason to not go for it, even if grabbing it would get you a few percents from unhittable, which would make it only 1/3 of the time with the 4p, and even less if you're including tank swaps (ie rag, beth p2).
As for the offset piece, you'd be surprised, I came up with the 391 Breastplate of Shifting Visions (haste/mastery) being the superior offset against a 378 T12 chest with 378 Helm of Blazing Glory.
I appreciate everyone's contribution to this posting. It has been a great help. I've decided to use the 4pc w/ rag shoulders as my offset. I like the bonus. I tanked rag the other night, and when I taunted off other tank, the only cd I would have to pop was shield block. So um thinking its the right choice, atleast for now.

Mitsubishi Lancer earns Top Safety Pick award, first Mitsubishi to pass new rollover test [*UPDATE]
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jul 22nd, 2010 at 3:59PM
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the Mitsubishi Lancer one of its top safety picks. The four-door sedan managed to be the first Mitsubishi that the Institute has tested to pass the new roll-over test with a "good" rating. As much as we like entertaining ourselves by thinking about the researchers flipping a bevy of cars and SUVs from 9-to-5, that isn't quite how the institute tests for rollover strength. Instead, a large metal plate exerts a steady force on the roof of a vehicle until the crash structure deflects by five inches. At that point, the boffins measure... Read More

When Michelle Obama steps out at Monday night's inaugural galas, life will change for at least one person who is unlikely to be in the room: her gown's designer. Accolades will flow, if the past is any guide, and morning television shows will race for the first interview. The designer's current collection should quickly sell out.
Despite a strict policy against commenting on her clothes, Mrs. Obama has become her generation's most impactful fashion muse. Already, the fashion industry is trying to horn in on the spotlight she will generate next week.
Michelle Obama: Fashion Icon
Retailer White House | Black Market this month introduced a limited-edition "inaugural-inspired" dress collection of nine beaded gowns and cocktail-length numbers—priced accessibly between $250 and $300. Aiming to grab some publicity from Mrs. Obama's jewel choices, the Gemological Institute of America speculated that she would wear emeralds at the inauguration because color experts Pantone declared emerald to be Color of the Year for 2013.
The fashion world is abuzz with gossip about which designers Mrs. Obama will wear on Monday. Naeem Kahn is being mentioned as a contender for her gown. Jimmy Choo is considered a shoe-in for her heels.
Consumers paid little attention to Laura Bush's steady diet of Oscar de la Renta suits, and few emulated Hillary Clinton's tailored-pantsuit wardrobe. Those choices fit the women's roles as Washington, D.C., figures and were priced beyond reach for most people.
From Mamie Eisenhower and Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama, the First Lady's inaugural gown is a well-kept state secret. Here's a look at how some of the former (and current) first wives have decked out for Washington's premiere gala event.
Michelle Obama's fashion choices for Monday's presidential swearing-in and balls are sure to mean big sales for the chosen designers. WSJ "On Style" columnist Christina Binkley joins Lunch Break to place some bets on what she'll wear on Inauguration Day. Photo: Getty Images.
But Mrs. Obama wore a Gap sweater to lunch with Nancy Reagan and also introduced the world to Jason Wu's $1,500 dresses, influencing the way women dress at work. Her risk-taking has led many women to incorporate more feminine dresses and blouses into their power wardrobes and to don soft cardigans in place of traditional suit jackets at the office.
Most first ladies "fall into the trap of dressing to fit in," says Kate Betts, a fashion editor who wrote one of a bevy of books on Mrs. Obama's fashions, titled "Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style." "She took the opposite tack: She dressed to stand out."
Entire brands—such as J. Crew, which Mrs. Obama wore on David Letterman's show—have soared on the draft from her patronage. "She's almost to the point of launching collections," says fashion-industry investment consultant Robert Burke, noting that what Mrs. Obama wears sells out, even if it isn't widely available for weeks or months later.

Political kerfuffles have broken out over some of her fashion decisions, often because she breaks with traditional symbolism. Many people were outraged at her decision to wear a non-American label—the British Alexander McQueen's full red gown—to a state dinner for the Chinese president in early 2011. And she made headlines by wearing a cardigan to meet Queen Elizabeth II. Though the cardigan was by Paris couturier Azzedine Alaia, many deemed the choice too casual for a royal moment.
Amid her frequent donning of down-to-earth Gap and J. Crew clothes, critics found fault when Mrs. Obama once wore Lanvin sneakers—priced at an estimated $540—to a food bank.
Mrs. Obama supersedes even A-list celebrities and the future queen of England in her fashion impact, Mr. Burke says. "Kate Middleton has global influence, but she's not as fashionable," he says. And because Mrs. Obama cultivates an every-woman persona, he says, "Unlike Lady Gaga, women can relate to her."
Fashion executives have taken to including photos of Mrs. Obama wearing their brands' clothing when they prepare investment packages for bankers and private-equity investors, Mr. Burke says.
The first lady's patronage doesn't necessarily lead to stardom. Chicago designer Maria Pinto went out of business despite a long association with Mrs. Obama. Isabel Toledo, who designed Mrs. Obama's yellow coat and dress for the last inaugural swearing-in, isn't much more famous now than she was before January 2009.
But if you know who Mr. Wu is, it is probably because Mrs. Obama chose his one-shouldered white gown to wear on inaugural night in 2009. Mr. Wu's business savvy helped him capitalize on the attention, making him a go-to designer. He is now so closely associated with the first lady that he is seeking to branch out.
"There has been so much press on him dressing the first lady," said his spokeswoman, Anne Fahey, in a polite refusal to discuss Mrs. Obama's fashion, "and we would like to try to keep the focus on what he is currently doing."
This inauguration heralds another four years of Prabal Gurung, Thakoon, Loree Rodkin jewelry and other fashion brand sightings in Mrs. Obama's public appearances. But the first lady's actual influence may last even longer because her approach has crept muselike into the way designers think.
"She's in my head all the time," says New York designer Sophie Theallet, whose clothes Mrs. Obama has favored. "She represents the women I am dressing."

9. Class Skeletons
Apr 12, 2009

For padding multibyte strings (e.g. utf-8) this filter should use Zend_Text_MultiByte::strPad() instead of PHP's str_pad() function.

Apr 13, 2009

I never said that it will use internally php's str_pad <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

Apr 13, 2009

So what will it use then?

Apr 13, 2009

Ben:

The point is, that actually there exists no code... only in my brain.

So the details of which class/extension/component to use for this sub-task (there are several sub-tasks which have to be done) will be decided when I evaluate how this filter should work internally (beta-class).

It can use this component or another... I have not decided or fixed any decission for now. This will be done and discussed when this proposal has been approved in general.

Apr 12, 2009

Looks like a great component!

I do have a first questions though;

1. How will this handle multibyte strings?

2. I would like an option that ensures words themself to not get cut somewhere half way. On IRC you told me to look at UC5, but obviously it isn't in that usecase?

3. Will you add a viewhelper along with this filter? It seems to me that a lot of users want to 'cut strings' when presenting the data, rather than doing it while inserting?

Apr 13, 2009

1.) As normal strings, this component will also handle multibyte strings

2.) You didn't speak of words, but of a way to have not only a single character added when truncating. Truncating words is possible, but will use a seperate constant. I'll add a new usecase. But this possibility is limited to truncate based on whitespaces, and not one word in two seperated because there is no way to define a exact rule where a word has to be seperated

3.) No, because this is a seperate proposal and has nothing to do with this filter. As soon as this filter is available we can simply add a view helper using this filter.

Apr 13, 2009

I'd argue that adding a view helper that consumes this filter should be part of this proposal. It's a common use case for the filter.

Apr 13, 2009

Are you sure ?

Because a view helper is another component theoretical independent from this filter (or this component independently from the view helper <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" /> )

Apr 14, 2009

I`d agree with Matthew , It is a popular use case to use it in a view

see http://smarty.net/manual/en/language.modifier.truncate.php

Apr 14, 2009

Probably... but as this is already part of this proposal since more than a day, what's the reason of this additional comment ?

Apr 14, 2009

Sorry for that , I didn`t notice change

Apr 14, 2009

No problem

May 03, 2009

I think it would be better to split this in two filters:

Zend_Filter_StringPad

than it is selectable if you would only truncate or pad a string:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
// truncate a string if it is longer than length and add fill
$filter = new Zend_Filter_StringTruncate(array('length' => 10, 'fill' => '...', 'type' => Zend_Filter_StringTruncate::PAD_RIGTH));
$filter->filter('This is a test'); // This is...
// pad a string if it is smaller than length
$filter = new Zend_Filter_StringPad(array('length' => 10, 'fill' => '.', 'type' => Zend_Filter_StringPad::PAD_RIGTH));
$filter->filter('This is a test'); // This is a test
// both and pad left

It is already possible to solve this with the above described API.

You can eighter pad or truncate or do both actions with the same filter.

You can also use two filter instances and pad on both sides with different length as described by your example, even if I would not see a real usecase for such a task.

<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Declined in current state</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

The Zend Framework team declines acceptance of this proposal in its current state. The component is poorly named, and perhaps performs too many different, discrete tasks. From our review, it:

Pads a string (StringPad would be a good name)

Truncates a string (StringTruncate would be a good name)

Truncates based on words (WordTruncate would be a good name)

Our recommendation is that these be three distinct filters. Developers may chain them together to get the combined behavior shown in some of the use cases.

Please re-submit the proposal once you have made the above changes.

Question:

Does this also mean to add 3 different view helpers ? One for each filter ?

Thousands of people who work in the human services industry in Massachusetts are waiting for pay raises after the Patrick administration decided to delay them. YNN's Madeleine Rivera has more on this story.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- They were supposed to come before Christmas, a season generally thought of as a time for giving.
"Especially at this time of year. It's difficult with the holidays coming up," said Erin Manson, a staff worker at the Berkshire County Arc.
But now, thousands of human service workers are waiting to see if they'll be given a raise.
"With the fiscal economy the way it is right now, I can honestly say this is the first time in my life that I have struggled," said Janine Sniezek, a disabilities caseworker at the United Cerebral Palsy of Berkshire County.
The legislature voted to give a total of $20 million in pay raises to human service providers who work a lot with disabled people, seniors and veterans. But because of lower tax revenues, the governor took some precautionary measures. This put a hold on salary increases for more than 29,000 people in the commonwealth.
"The raise was for anyone who made under $40,000. All human service workers that fall under the EOHHS, the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. They're the ones that we're talking about," said Ken Singer, executive director of Berkshire County Arc.
The average salary for this line of work is about $25,000. The pay increase from the administration would be about 33 cents per hour.
"Anything would be some sort of help," said Sniezek.
Berkshire County Arc has over 600 employees, many of who would have been eligible for a pay raise. A lot of these workers have not had a pay increase in about five years.
"I just think it's really a shame because the people in this field work very hard. It's not a 9 to 5, five day a week job. I mean, I'm basically on call 24/7," said Sniezek.
A spokesperson from the Executive Office of Health and Human Services said no decision has been made. The governor will continue to review the budget in the coming weeks.
