702 Imbrie t al . : Linear Responses to Milankovitch Forcing

Time series of ocean properties provide a measure of global ice volume and monitor key features of the wind-driven and density-driven circulations over the past 400,000 years. Cycles with periods near 23,000, 41,000, and 100,000 years dominate this climatic narrative. When the narrative is examined in a geographic array of time series, the phase of each climatic oscillation is seen to progress through the system in essentially the same geographic sequence in all three cycles.

Early in this progression, deep waters of the Southern Ocean appear to act as a carbon trap. To stimulate new observations and modeling efforts, we offer a process model that gives a synoptic view of climate at the four end-member states needed to describe the system's evolution, and we propose a dynamic system model that explains the phase progression along causal pathways by specifying inertial constants in a chain of four subsystems. "Solutions to problems involving systems of such complexity are not born full grown like Athena from the head of Zeus. Rather they evolve slowly, in stages, each of which requires a pause to examine data at great lengths in order to guarantee a sure footing and to properly choose the next step. "

Title Circularly polarized monopole antenna using CRLH TL feednetwork

A circularly polarized (CP) monopole antenna with the feed network designed based on using composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is proposed. The CP antenna consists of two monopole elements, a 90-phase shifter implemented using a CRLH TL unit cell and a Wilkinson power divider. The two monopole elements are designed to operate at a frequency of about 2.3 GHz and placed in perpendicular to each other to generate two orthogonal-electric fields. The power divider divides the input signal into two signals with equal amplitude and phase. One of the signals is fed to a monopole element via the phase shifter, while the other signal is fed directly to the other monopole element. The two signals at the corresponding monopole elements are therefore in phase quadrature, hence generating a CP signal. Simulation results show that the antenna has an impedance bandwidth (S11 < -10 dB) of 1.89-3.20 GHz and a wide axial-ratio bandwidth (AR < 3 dB) of 2.08-2.36 GHz. Keywords—circularly polarization, CRLH, monopole, phase shifter, WLAN
More than a common acid buffering in the treatment of Non-Erosive GERD-like Clinical Spectrum: A Chios Masthia-based Formulation with (Cyto) Protecting Effect

The aim of this study was to test the clinical and mucosal benefit of a natural gastro-oesophageal mucosal protector DOGDG-121 in non-erosive GERD comprising from NERD, to Functional Heartburn and Hypersensitive oesophagus while also ascertain the symptom-free duration in patients with prior symptomatic relapsing GERD. 68 consecutive adult patients, reporting mild heartburn symptoms two or more days a week or at least moderate symptoms more than once a week for at least six months duration were prospectively recruited. Inclusion criteria were: recurrent typical GERD symptoms, such as heartburn and/or acid regurgitation and a duration of symptoms>6 months. Patients were divided in two groups comparable as for age, gender, BMI and pHmetry profile.
Physicochemical and Bacteriological Quality of Public Swimming Pools in the Tamale Metropolis, Ghana

The study focused on the physicochemical and bacteriological quality of public swimming pools in the Tamale Metropolis. Physicochemical properties such as pH, temperature, and conductivity, and bacteria counts—including total coliform, faecal coliform, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus, and total heterotrophic bacteria—were analyzed for their conformity with required health standards. The results obtained were analyzed using Student t test and compared with World Health Organization (WHO) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for safe recreational and drinking water. The highest and the lowest temperatures were recorded in April (32.53 °C) and February (28.16 °C), respectively. The lowest and the highest mean pH values were 4.04 and 6.13, which were below acceptable standards. The conductivity level varied from 469.1563 µS cm−1 to 928.1563 µS cm−1. While the pH did not conform to acceptable standards, temperature and conductivity were within the EPA and/or the WHO acceptable limits. The total coliform (TC) expressed in colony-forming units per 100 mL ranged from 0 to 397 (cfu/100 mL), faecal coliform (FC) 0 to196 cfu/100 mL, E. coli 0 to 52 cfu/100 mL, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) 8 to 27 cfu/100 mL, and Total Heterotrophic Bacteria (THB) 44 to 197 (cfu/mL). TC, FC, E. coli, S. aureus, and THB counts in most of the samples complied with the bacteriological standards. However, the bacterial loads increased and exceeded the WHO and/or EPA standards as the number of bathers increased. Besides, there were positive correlations between physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH, and bacterial loads. Most parameters studied met the acceptable standards of recreational water stipulated by the WHO and EPA. However, the presence of pathogenic organisms in the recreational waters at any point in time should be treated as a public health concern, and hence a call for routine monitoring and inspection of public swimming pools in the Tamale Metropolis.
Theory of deep-water surface gravity waves derived from a Lagrangian

An exact set of equations describing deep-water irrotational surface gravity waves, originally proposed by Balk (Phys. Fluids, vol. 8 (2), 1996, pp. 416–420), and studied in the case of standing waves by Longuet-Higgins (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 423, 2000, pp. 275–291) and Longuet-Higgins (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, vol. 457 (2006), 2001, pp. 495–510), are analytically examined and put in a form more suitable for practical applications. The utility of this approach is its simplicity. The Lagrangian is a low-order polynomial in the Fourier coefficients, leading to equations of motion that are correspondingly of low degree. The structure of these equations is examined, and the existence of solutions is considered. To gain intuition about the system of equations, a truncated model is first examined. Linear stability analysis is performed, and the evolution of the fully nonlinear system is discussed. The theory is then applied to fully resolved permanent progressive deep-water waves and a simple method for finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the normal modes of this system is presented. Potential applications of these results are then discussed.
Workplace Spirituality: Sustainable Work Experience from a Human Factors Perspective

It is important to note that spiritual matter here is not about a religious, but a human centered view based on self-awareness, life purpose and community engagement. These three aspects of spirituality are the predominant perspective in the literature of organizational changes. These organizational changes are defining new paradigms for work relationships and impacting work environments. Some of these new paradigms are related to work motivation and job satisfaction, which are highly connected to organizational sustainability. Therefore, we choose to investigate workplace spirituality in order to move towards sustainability. In fact, there are already some reviews about workplace spirituality, and the most cited one organizes the topic in three dimensions: first, the inner life dimension that remains in self-centered matters such as identity and values; second, the sense of purpose dimension that refers to work significance perception; and lastly, the sense of community dimension that remains in connection and engagement. Okay, if we already have reviews about that, what is the point? In this review, we choose the predominant perspective on workplace spirituality to turn theoretical discussions into manageable human factors that are expressed by relationship needs at three levels: intrapersonal, interpersonal and institutional. With this new organization of the theme, we expect to support managers to perform actions focused on the type of relationship that is desired to be strengthened. From the review, we identify a total of twelve human factors organized by these three relationship levels, each one with four human factors. The main contribution of this study is a systematic review of workplace spirituality based on a human factor perspective.
Enhanced Lasso Regularization-Based Self-Adaptive Feature Selection Algorithm for the High-Dimensional Uncertainty Quantification of TREAT Transient Test Modeling

Abstract The paper presents a self-adaptive feature selection algorithm we developed for solving high-dimensional uncertainty quantification problems. The development of the algorithm was motivated and supported by the benchmarking of the Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) transient test 2857. The generalized polynomial chaos expansion scheme was adopted to decompose the response functions. Our algorithm was applied to select the dominant basis from the candidate polynomial basis in a self-adaptive manner by assigning weights to the polynomial basis and adjusting the weights using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regularization–estimated coefficients through iterations. The developed algorithm can recognize the significant basis terms in the polynomial expansion of the response functions and therefore build a sparse polynomial expansion using a limited number of samples. The algorithm was implemented and verified through three different TREAT modeling cases. The testing results demonstrated the general stability and prediction performance of our algorithm and provided useful information about the uncertainty mechanism of the TREAT transient test 2857.
Nighttime radiative cooling potential of unglazed and PV/T solar collectors: parametric and experimental analyses

SUMMARY Nighttime radiative cooling technology has been studied both by means of simulations and experiments, to evaluate its potential and to validate the existing theoretical models used to describe it. Photovoltaic/thermal panels (PV/T) and unglazed solar collectors have been chosen as case studies. An experimental setup has been constructed and tested during summer of 2014, at the Technical University of Denmark. The cooling performance (heat loss) has been measured simultaneously for both types of panels, installed side-by-side. The experimental results have been compared with the results from a commercial building simulation software and from theoretical calculations. All three methods showed good consistency in the cooling output. The cooling power ranged between 20 to 75 W/m 2 without a noticeable difference between the PV/Ts and the unglazed collectors, the outcome depending mainly on the sky clearness. The obtained values showed a good agreement with the ones found in the literature about solar panels or other kinds of heat sinks used for radiative cooling applications. The panels provided a cooling performance per night ranging between 0.2 and 0.9 kWh/m 2 of panel. The COP values (defined as the ratio between the obtained cooling and the energy used by the circulation pump) reached very high values, ranging from 19 to 59, which highlights the potential of this technology for energy savings for cooling purposes. Possible applications include cooling production for non-residential buildings such as offices under the Scandinavian climate, and, in addition, for residential buildings under Southern climates.

Capacity choice in a large market Godenhielm , Mats 2014-0818

We analyze endogenous capacity formation in a large frictional market with perfectly divisible goods. Each seller posts a price and decides on a capacity. The buyers base their decision on which seller to visit on both characteristics. In this setting we determine the conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a symmetric equilibrium. When capacity is unobservable there exists a continuum of equilibria. We show that the ‘‘best’’ of these equilibria leads to the same seller capacities and the same number of trades as the symmetric equilibrium under observable capacity.

Nonprofit Service Continuity and Responses in the Pandemic: Disruptions, Ambiguity, Innovation, and Challenges

Abstract This Viewpoint essay examines the service delivery responses of nonprofit organizations that offer homeless support services amid the COVID‐19 pandemic. Government mandates and severe human needs have forced nonprofits to adapt quickly. Literature reviews provide little information about how nonprofits should manage service continuity under pandemics. Data collected from websites and interviews with nonprofits executives provide an understanding of adaptations and innovations. The study uses a crisis response model—“Disruptions‐Ambiguities‐Innovations‐Challenges” (DAIC)—to demonstrate how social service nonprofits are responding to challenges under COVID‐19. Lessons learned are useful for scholars and practitioners to understand ways nonprofits have remained agile and innovative.
Numerical Validation of Fill Rate Estimation Methods for Two- and Three-Demand Class Rationing Policies with One-for-One Replenishment and General Lead Time Distributions

In this report, we conduct numerical simulations of twoand three-demand class inventory threshold rationing systems under one-for-one replenishment policies. The performance metrics of interest are the fill rates of the high priority demand classes (the gold fill rate in the twodemand class system and the platinum and gold fill rates in the three-demand class system). Our main interest is in the sensitivity of these fill rates to the form of the replenishment lead time probability distribution and the resulting quality of approximation methods used to estimate these fill rates. We consider three approximation methods: what we call the single cycle approach attributed to Dekker et al and Deshpande et al, the embedded Markov chain approach of Fadigloglu and Bulut, and the continuous time Markov chain approach of Vicil and Jackson. We confirm the superiority of the embedded Markov chain approach for the case of constant lead times but we find that the fill rates are relatively insensitive to the form of the lead time distribution and both latter approaches, the embedded Markov chain approach and the continuous time Markov chain approach, perform well over wide ranges of lead time variability. For the three-demand class system, we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve highly differentiated fill rates by demand class and show that these fill rates can be estimated with high accuracy using the continuous time Markov chain approach, provided the fill rate of the lowest priority demand class (the silver fill rate) is not too low.
Relationship Between Entrepreneurship Education, Entrepreneurial Mindset, and Career Readiness in Secondary Students

Background: Career-focused education programs in the United States increasingly emphasize 21st century workplace readiness. These programs use project-based learning to develop a holistic, noncognitive skillset linked to an entrepreneurial mindset. Purpose: This study assesses the relationship between entrepreneurial mindset development and students in entrepreneurship education programs compared with other career-focused academies. Methodology/Approach: Using a quasi-experimental design, entrepreneurial mindset was measured in two matched groups of students from underserved communities at the beginning and end of the school year. Additional analyses were conducted to assess the impact of career-focused education on student outlook of career readiness. Findings/Conclusions: Students in entrepreneurship education showed an overall statistically significant increase in entrepreneurial mindset, specifically in communication and collaboration, opportunity recognition, and critical thinking and problem-solving. Moreover, there was a positive association between entrepreneurial mindset gains and perceptions of future career success. Implications: This study paves the way for more rigorous research on linkages between career-focused education and noncognitive skills and suggests that entrepreneurship education may be effective in developing noncognitive skills linked to career success.
Strategic property buyouts to enhance flood resilience: a multi-criteria spatial approach for incorporating ecological values into the selection process

ABSTRACT The impact of recent flood events, such as hurricane Harvey in 2017 which affected the upper Texas coastal region, has sparked new proposals for buying out damaged properties to reduce flood risk and return them to natural open space. Traditionally, buyouts have been carried out with little regard for non-monetary benefits, such as ecological and aesthetic values, but have been driven by a cost–benefit calculus that leads to a reactionary, ad hoc selection process after a flood event has already occurred. This standard practice can result in a disjointed pattern of open spaces that does little to protect environmental assets. In response to the lack of research that also considers the complementary ecological benefits of buyout programmes, this study tests a methodological framework that identifies candidate parcels for acquisition along a spectrum of ecological and proximity variables, by statistically and spatially identifying the nexus between ecological value and economic benefits when acquiring flooded properties. Importantly, we show that including these criteria does not significantly reduce the cost-effectiveness of buyouts and that acquiring parcels for flood risk reduction can be combined with protecting ecological values in a way that helps communities to become more resilient over the long term.
