High-temperature equation of state of vanadium

ABSTRACT The unit cell dimensions of vanadium, NaCl and Au have been collected to 11. 5 GPa and 1000 K by powder X-ray diffraction and are used to constrain a practical high-temperature EoS for bcc vanadium. The resulting third-order Birch–Murnaghan EoS is described with parameters KT0,300 = 150.4 ± 6.2 GPa, = 5.5 ± 1.0, α0 = 4.8(6)·10−5, α1 = −2.4(9)·10−8 and δKTδT = −0.0446(7) GPa/K. The parameter α. K0,300 is 616·10−5 K−1 GPa and reduces to zero at an estimated 60 GPa at RT. This EoS description is entirely consistent with the majority of X-ray, ultrasonic, shock wave and calculated data-sets in this p, T range. These measurements facilitate the estimation of in situ temperatures under high pressures when vanadium is used inside sample assemblies and are useful, when used with h-BN, to estimate p, T over the full range of h-BN stability.
Differences of Fruit-Vegetable Consumption, Blood Pressure In Highland And Lowland

Consumption of vegetables and fruit daily can prevent degenerative diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer. One of the causes is unstable blood pressure. This study aimed to determine the differences in the consumption of vegetables, fruit, and blood pressure in highland (mountains) and lowland (coastal) communities in Bengkulu. This research was observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 65 people in the highlands (Kepahiang) and 65 people on the coast (Pasar Ikan) was purposive sampling. Statistical test using independent t-test. This study indicates that the average consumption of vegetables in the highlands is 170.33 grams/day, and fruit consumption is 100.96 grams/day. In comparison, the consumption of vegetables in the lowlands is 165.65 grams/day. Moreover, fruit consumption in the lowlands is 187.26 grams/day. In the highlands, the mean systolic blood pressure was 134.72 mmHg, and the diastolic was 83.18 mmHg, while the mean systolic blood pressure was 126.62 mmHg, and the diastolic 75.71 mmHg. This study concludes that there is no difference between vegetable consumption in the highlands and the lowlands, but there are differences in fruit consumptionand systolic diastolic blood pressure in the highlands and the lowlands. In health services, the existing Gerakan Masyarakat Hidup Sehat (GERMAS) program should be promoted.
Critical essay: Blinding faith – Paradoxes and pathologies of opacity in peer review

The standing and progress of science depends upon confidence in the evaluation of knowledge claims. This essay affirms the value of peer review as a ‘gold standard’ but argues that its efficacy for scientific progress is, on balance, diminished by blinding. It reflects critically upon the anomaly between an ethos of openness that is widely held to define scientific work, and the opacity institutionalized in reviewing and editorial processes, with specific reference to the field of management and organization studies. The anomaly is attributed to the operation of asymmetrical relations of power in the establishment and reproduction of evaluation processes. The proposed means of mitigating the anomaly, and thereby improving manuscript evaluation, is movement in the direction of more open peer review.
Advanced multivariate cumulative sum control charts based on principal component method with application

Existing multivariate cumulative sum (MCUSUM) control charts involve entire associated variables of a process to monitor variations in the mean vector. In this study, we have offered MCUSUM control charts with principal component method (PCM). The proposed MCUSUM control charts with PCM capture the whole process variations using fewer latent variables (principal components) while preserving as much data variability as possible. To show the significance of proposed MCUSUM control charts with PCM, various performance measures are considered including average run length, extra quadratic loss, relative average run length, and performance comparison index. Furthermore, performance measures are calculated through advanced Monte Carlo simulation method to explore the behavior of proposed MCUSUM control charts and to conduct comparative analysis with existing models. Results revealed that proposed MCUSUM control charts with PCM are efficient to detect variations timely by involving smaller number of principal components instead of considering entire associated variables. Also, proposed MCUSUM control charts have the ability to accommodate the features of existing control charts, which are illustrated as the special cases. Besides, to highlight the implementation mechanism and advantages of proposed MCUSUM control charts with PCM, a real‐life example from wind turbine process is included.
Acquiring Indonesian Pragmatic and Cultural Competencies Towards Indonesian Language Learners by Arabic Speakers at Al-Azhar University Cairo:

This study aims to uncover the pragmatic and cultural competencies of Indonesian Language Learners for Arabic Speakers at Al-Azhar University Cairo using an Anthropolinguistic perspective. This perspective is chosen to focus on the data of the learner’s language performance which is also based on pragmatic and cultural input. The research method chosen is Spradley's ethnography of communication. The results showed that the form of pragmatic and cultural input: 1) Sourced from textbooks in the form of Communicative Expressions which are displayed in speaking materials and specific materials about Indonesian culture. 2) Authentic discourse classes joined by BIPA participants and al-Azhar students who came from Indonesia. 3) All Indonesian teachers are native speakers. 4) Initiative of BIPA students who communicate with Indonesian speakers through social media. These four inputs contribute to strengthening the pragmalinguistic, sociopragmatic, and cultural competencies of learners.
Increasing the Physical Representation of Forest‐Snow Processes in Coarse‐Resolution Models: Lessons Learned From Upscaling Hyper‐Resolution Simulations

Processes shaping forest snow cover evolution often vary at small spatial scales, which are not resolved by most model applications. Representing this variability at larger scales and coarser model resolutions constitutes a major challenge for model developers. In this study, we use a well‐validated hyper‐resolution forest snow model that explicitly resolves the spatial variability of canopy‐snow interactions at the meter scale to explore adequate representation of forest‐snow processes at coarser resolutions (50 m). For this purpose, we assess coarser‐resolution runs against spatially averaged results from corresponding hyper‐resolution simulations over a 150,000 m2 model domain. For the coarser‐resolution simulations, we tested alternative upscaling strategies. Our results reveal considerable discrepancies between strategies that utilize generalized canopy metrics versus strategies that apply a more detailed set of process‐specific canopy descriptors. Particularly, the inclusion of canopy descriptors that represent the various scales and perspectives relevant to the individual processes leads to accurate simulation of forest snow cover dynamics at coarse resolutions. Our results further demonstrate that a realistic representation of snow‐covered fraction in snowmelt calculations is important even for relatively small (∼50 m) grid cells. Ultimately, this work provides recommendations for modeling forest‐snow processes in large‐scale applications, which allow coarse resolution simulations to approximate spatially averaged results of corresponding hyper‐resolution simulations.
Competing Contributions of Structural, Acoustic, and Intrinsic Modes to Thermoacoustic Oscillations

ABSTRACT Structural, acoustic, and intrinsic modes contributions to thermoacoustic oscillations of a small-scale power generator combustor are investigated experimentally. Simultaneous chemiluminescence and pressure data were acquired at frequencies of 5 and 50 kHz, respectively, and are used to study the above coupling. Experiments were performed for fuel-air equivalence ratios of 0.7 and 0.9, igniter rod locations of −5, 1.5, 2.5, and 5 mm, and air volumetric flowrates of 120, 140, 160, and 180 SLPM, generating 32 experimental conditions. The results show that, depending on the tested condition, turbulent methane-air premixed flames were stabilized either on a torus-shaped flame-holder (generating Bunsen flames) or on both the flame-holder and an igniter rod (generating M-shaped flames). At fuel-air equivalence ratio of 0.7, two dominant peaks near the structural and acoustic modes are detected. In addition to structural and acoustic modes, two intrinsic thermoacoustic modes are also detected for conditions pertaining to the fuel-air equivalence ratio of 0.9. It is shown that acoustic and structural modes mostly contribute to positive Rayleigh gain values. However, generally, intrinsic modes contribute to negative values of the Rayleigh gain. The negative Rayleigh gain values associated with the intrinsic thermoacoustic modes are detected near the exit of the burner as well as the stagnation wall. This suggests that, for the utilized power generator combustor, compared to structural and acoustic modes, existence of intrinsic thermoacoustic modes are desired.
Has Differentiated Instruction Gone ‘Awry’ in Online Teaching and Learning?

Differentiated Instruction (DI) is a classroom strategy that helps teachers to cater their teachings to students with different abilities and learning needs. The issue here is whether DI is still relevant in the online teaching and learning amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the aim of this paper is to explore selected ESL teachers’ practices of differentiated instructions in their online classes. It also seeks to examine challenges these teachers withstand while implementing DI in their online classrooms. A qualitative design employing the semi-structured interviews and teachers’ reflection notes are used as data collection instruments. A total of six English language teachers from three selected schools in Malaysia took part in this investigation. Thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke (2006) is applied. The findings revealed that environmental strain, resources constraint and students’ and parents’ attitudes are the main challenges in DI while teaching in an online platform.
Flotation of coal using micro-bubbles and inorganic salts

The results of two research projects supported by the US Department of Energy are reported. In the first, 32 different salts were tested in the flotation of -100 mesh bituminous coal. An arbitrary concentration of 0.07 moles/l was used and no other reagents were present. Results are quoted for sodium salts with various anions and sulphate salts with various cations. The rate of flotation was found to be considerably faster when salts were used rather than kerosene and Dowfroth as collector and frother. The mechanism of the process was investigated. In the second project, the use of micro-bubbles generated in the frother by several different techniques was investigated for the flotation of fine coal. Results are given for tests on -400 mesh coal under various conditions. Yields were found to be higher with conventional flotation, but the ash contents were much lower when using micro-bubbles.
Tal Land Soils of Bihar - III: Aggregation and Water Retention Characteristics

In tal land soils, there is higher degree of compaction due to swelling and shrinkage, leading to lower saturated hydraulic conductivity. In old alluvial region, themacro-aggregates are always higher-than micro-aggregates which increase sharply down the depth. This differential behaviour is mainly due to higher percentage of clay in the former and organicmatter in the latter. This is also confirmed by the positive and highly significant correlation of macro-and cumulative aggregates with the clay, fine Clay and organic carbon contents. A higher degree of correlation between mean weight diameter and water stable aggregates has also been noted. Soil water retention curves show that most of the soil water is released by a tension of 100–200 kPa. In these soil groups (old alluvial and young alluvial) water retention is mainly a function of amount and nature of clay and to some extent of organic mailer. But the percentage of water retention at higher tensions is mainly in fluenced by clay content.

Myopic Loss Aversion and Investment Decisions: From the Laboratory to the Field

Whether, and to what extent, behavioral anomalies uncovered in the lab manifest themselves in the field remains of first order importance in finance and economics. We begin by examining behavior of retail traders/investors making investment decisions in constructed laboratory markets. Our results show that the behaviors of the traders are consistent with myopic loss aversion. We combine the lab results with a unique individual-level matched dataset on daily stock market transactions and portfolio positions over a two year period. We find that lab behaviors help to predict, but do not fully capture, the essential real-world trading analogs of retail traders.
Effect of Obesity on Clinical Failure of Patients Treated With β-Lactams

Abstract Background Altered pharmacokinetics in obese patients raise concerns over worse clinical outcomes. This study assessed whether obese patients receiving a β-lactam have worse clinical outcomes compared to nonobese patients and to identify if therapeutic drug monitoring may be beneficial. Methods This multicenter, retrospective cohort included hospitalized adults admitted from July 2015 to July 2017 treated with a β-lactam as definitive monotherapy against a gram-negative bacilli for ≥72 hours. Patients were excluded if there was lack of source control or if polymicrobial infections required >1 antibiotic for definitive therapy. Patients were classified based on body mass index (BMI): nonobese (BMI ≤29.9 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2). The primary outcome was clinical treatment failure, and secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay, inpatient all-cause mortality, and 30-day all-cause readmission. Results There were 257 (43.6%) obese patients and 332 (56.4%) nonobese patients included. The most common infections were urinary (50.9%) and respiratory (31.4%). Definitive treatment was driven by third-generation cephalosporins (46.9%) and cefepime (44.7%). Treatment failure occurred in 131 (51%) obese patients and 109 (32.8%) nonobese patients (P < .001). Obesity and respiratory source were independently associated with increased likelihood of treatment failure. Obese patients were hospitalized longer than nonobese patients (P = .002), but no differences were found for all-cause mortality (P = .117) or infection-related readmission (0 = 0.112). Conclusions Obese patients treated with β-lactams have higher rates of treatment failure and longer hospitalization periods than nonobese patients. Future studies are needed to assess the impact of therapeutic drug monitoring and specific dosing recommendations for targeted infection types.
Groundwater resources in a fractured-rock aquifer, Conglomerate of Portofino

ABSTRACT Hydrogeological mapping is a key tool for groundwater resource management. Generally, hydrogeological maps focus mainly on porous or karst aquifer at large scale. In a fractured-rock aquifer, the groundwater flow path is not immediately deductible due to the intrinsic complexity of fracture systems. Then, it is of crucial importance collecting a complete dataset describing the site of interest: fault and strata patterns, geomorphological features, occurrence of springs. Here we present the hydrogeological map at 1:10,000 scale of the fractured rock aquifer of Conglomerate of Portofino (Italy). The graphical information contained in this map is based on the authors’ field survey and the revision of papers written for academic purposes and technical reports. The aim of the research is to achieve a useful tool for land planning, conservation of groundwater resource and geo-hydrological risk reduction in the unique area of the Natural Park of Portofino.

Job Demands, Job Resources and its Relationship with Job Crafting among Head Nurses

Background : Organizations are continually under stress for existence in the present extremely changed work environment. During these times of continuously and emotionally demanding organizational changes, it is essential for associations to completely use and support nurses to become good crafters in their work to achieve organizational goals. Aim: The current study aims to investigate job demands, job resources and its relationship with job crafting among head nurses. Methods: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized by 140 head nurse working at all inpatient departments at Main Mansoura University Hospital, which affiliated to Mansoura University. Three tools were utilized in this study, Job Demands Scale, Job Resources Scale, and Job Crafting Questionnaire. Results: The results of this study indicated that there was statistical significant positive relation between job crafting with both job demands and job resources. Conclusion: There was statistical significant positive correlation between job crafting and both job demands and job resources. So, from the above we can conclude that head nurses demonstrate job crafting activities to cope with high job demands in the present of adequate job resources. Recommendations: To promote head nurses' job crafting, it is necessary to acknowledge and reward their good performance. Improve head nurses' autonomy is very important to enhance task crafting, as head nurses have the freedom to plan and carry out their daily activities. Administrators should provide flexibility of scheduling and balance between head nurses' family life and the requirement of their work.
Making sense of ‘ambiguous ageism’: a multi-level perspective on age inequality in the advertising industry

Abstract As recent statistics confirm, the advertising industry lives up to its image of being a preserve of the young: Less than 10% of all advertising practitioners in the US, UK and Australia are over the age of 45. But what are the social processes and discursive formations that create and sustain this skewed age profile? Based on 26 in-depth interviews with older advertising professionals and the thematic analysis of recent ageism-related coverage in advertising industry news media publications, we illustrate (1) how this age inequality is understood, represented and negotiated by practitioners and industry observers, and (2) how the dynamic interplay between individual identifications, organisational practices, and social structures (re)produces what we refer to as ‘ambiguous ageism’ – an entrenched and opaque marginalisation process which disadvantages older advertising practitioners, but in which they are also at the same time often complicit in. By conceptualising and applying a relational, multi-level perspective for investigating age inequality in the creative industries, we offer new insights into the empirical realities of creative work and provide a framework that can guide further research into the dialectics between ageing and organisational life in the creative industries and beyond.
Topic analysis of studies on total quality management and business excellence: an update on research from 2010 to 2019

The research reviews conducted by Lo and Chai ([2012]. Quantitative analysis of quality management literature published in total quality management and business excellence (1996–2010). Total Quality Management & Business Excellence, 23(5-6), 629–651. doi:10.1080/14783363.2012. 669553) and Dereli et al. ([2011]. An analysis of the papers published in total quality management & business excellence from 1995 through 2008. Total Quality Management & Business Excellence, 22(3), 373–386. doi:10.1080/14783363.2010. 532337) were based on TQM&BE, and together they covered the period between 1995 and 2010. The limitation of these two studies is that the study period ended in 2010. Accordingly, this study extends those previous studies by reviewing papers published between 2010 and 2019. TQM&BE is a suitable object for analysis because it is one of the top journals cited in the quality management field and plays a key role in the quality and scientific knowledge of TQM. This study demonstrated the feasibility of using the (self-organizing map) SOM algorithm to build a topic map. The SOM technique is one of the most popular artiﬁcial neural networks (ANNs). Based on this map, six topic areas were identified. In addition, the new identified themes after 2010 include the BE framework, and innovation, learning, team, and design. The results also showed that research on TQM&BE has undergone a shift in focus from a dominance of TQM to service quality, (International Organization for Standardization) ISO, and innovation and learning. Finally, the results showed that the SOM can be considered as a technique for developing topic maps for academic research reviews.
