Supporting arts and health evaluation: report of a UK knowledge transfer partnership.

Despite increasing calls for a robust evidence base, there is no clear consensus surrounding appropriate methodologies for evaluation of the impact of arts on health and wellbeing. Commissioners and stakeholders often require evidence of measurable outcomes, but quantitative evaluation does not provide a complete picture of impact, neither can it explain the effects of arts. Further, outcomes and impact evaluation must be balanced with process evaluation to guide the development of practice. Practitioners face significant challenges in responding to these issues, including evaluation capacity, knowledge, skills and resources. This article reports on a project that supported the arts and health field by generating knowledge, resources and support for evaluation. A two year Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between an Arts and Health consultancy and a University explored evaluation issues developed strategies with practitioners. A guided evaluation model, in which external evaluators worked alongside practitioners in an iterative process, was developed. While resourcing such partnerships is challenging, our project demonstrates that they can strengthen sustainable evaluation, generating evidence for local commissioning as well as contributing to longer term research agendas.
Regional Migration and House Price Appreciation

Despite both empirical and anecdotal evidence suggesting the importance of common systematic factors determining price appreciation in residential real estate markets, the existing literature focuses almost exclusively on the impact of local variables. This paper presents a theoretical model of an urban housing market allowing for explicit consideration of the role of interregional migration in response to changes in economic opportunities within a system of cities. The model identifies the importance of aggregate income and aggregate population growth in house price appreciation and suggests that housing demand and population growth within regions are jointly determined. Empirical tests of these predictions provide strong support for the model. In particular, changes in per-capita aggregate income are negatively related to both returns to housing and local population growth and omitting this systematic component from empirical specifications leads to an underestimation of the impact of local income. Furthermore, there is significant evidence of endogeneity problems in empirical specifications of the model that are similar to those found in the existing literature.
Aerosol Jet Printed Functional Nanoinks with High Reliability and Reconfigurability

Printed electronic components have long been desired in the aerospace industry to enable prototyping, design verification, and concept validation of electronics at a much more rapid pace than photolithography or manual wire bonding processes. For satellites that are subjected to extreme thermal environments, highly reliable materials and processes are used. Aerosol jet printing has recently become more prevalent in commercial electronic manufacturing processes due to its consistency and fine feature size (<10 μm) when compared to other ink-based printing methods. Traditional conductive Ag and Cu inks produce printed materials that react under modest conditions, which degrades their electrical and RF properties leading to unreliable materials. Here we present a tailored Au nanoink that is aerosol jet printed to produce robust interconnects directly on GaAs microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) chips. The chips were subsequently subjected to reliability testing that included thermal shock, thermal cycling, and current stress testing. At the conclusion of the reliability tests, no DC performance degradation was found indicating that aerosol jet printed Au nanoinks are an effective method for adding highly reliable on-chip circuit functionalities and features. Additionally, we present a new functional phase change nanoink based on GeTe to enable direct printing of radio frequency (RF) reconfigurable switches and control circuitry into flexible antenna apertures, which eliminates the need for costly and time consuming wafer preparation, dicing, and assembly. The nanoink formulation, printed GeTe material characterization, and electrical measurement results will be discussed including the phase change from amorphous state to crystalline state.
Does the Taiwan warm current exist in winter?

It has been argued for many years whether the Taiwan Warm Current (TWC) exists in winter, though there is no question about its existence in summer. A regional CTD survey and anchored ADCP measurements were conducted off the mouth of the Changjiang on the western shelf of the East China Sea from 24 February to 10 March 2001. Both hydrographic and current data showed an evidence of the TWC, which flowed northeastward along the 50‐m isobath and intruded into the submerged river valley off the Changjiang. This current is sub‐surface intensified, with a maximum velocity of 30 cm/s occurring at a depth of 30 m below the surface. This finding was consistent with the satellite‐derived SST image received on 26–30 January 1986 and MODIS SST image received on 18 February 2001. It suggests that the TWC is at least an episodic feature in the East China Sea and its occurrence and duration might vary due to meandering of the Kuroshio around the Taiwan Strait.
Communicating Change: The Five Sentiments of Change Perspective (Komunikasi Perubahan: Perspektif Lima Sentimen Perubahan)

This research investigated the reactions of agents and recipients of change toward the introduction of a new co-curriculum model in Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in Malaysia. The Five Sentiments of Change framework was used to interpret this introduction of change in the HLIs. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with two groups of participants. The first group consisted of eight experts playing the role of change agents, and the second group was comprised of 13 directors of co-curriculum centers. The latter were the target recipients of the change process. Data collected was categorized into themes, and the findings revealed significant contrasting reactions toward change between newly established and older universities. The present study is one of the few attempts to explain the impact of change on recipients in local HLIs.

Managing Design Alternatives: From the Alternatives Model towards an Aided Design System

Our overall objective is to specify an integrated environment for aiding designers to save, browse and reuse design information. presents the ideal mechanical engineering design support system and lists 17 goals for it. Those goals highlight the need of integration between various kinds of information, and show the need to manage product, process and alternatives data. The expected environment has then to integrate product, process and alternatives data, and to take care of consistency relations in each situation of the design process. In we specified an information model based on existing product, process and alternatives models. We combined them by formalising the relations between each of them using UML facilities. We have thus specified the way of the consistency of the data could be kept. Based on this model, our purpose is to specify a computer system that could be used by designers without upsetting their usual working practices. The benefits of the expected system are to allow the designer to keep in mind the various design solutions, and to easily reuse already specified solutions in the same or different projects. Therefore this paper presents the specifications of the dynamic behaviour of the model and assesses the benefits and disadvantages of its implementation regarding to the expected behaviour on an illustration.
Globalization, Education, and the Topology of Social Networks

The present paper suggests a possible framework to analyze the impact of changes to the economic and social environment on the topology of networks formed. Economic (costs) and social (norms) constraints bind individuals in their ability to create ties with others. When global phenomena affect these constraints, the overall shapes of resulting networks naturally alter. I attempt to shed light on this relationship.
Modern charge density studies: the entanglement of experiment and theory

This tutorial review article is intended to provide a general guidance to a reader interested to learn about the methodologies to obtain accurate electron density mapping in molecules and crystalline solids, from theory or from experiment, and to carry out a sensible interpretation of the results, for chemical, biochemical or materials science applications. The review mainly focuses on X-ray diffraction techniques and refinement of experimental models, in particular multipolar models. Neutron diffraction, which was widely used in the past to fix accurate positions of atoms, is now used for more specific purposes. The review illustrates three principal analyses of the experimental or theoretical electron density, based on quantum chemical, semi-empirical or empirical interpretation schemes, such as the quantum theory of atoms in molecules, the semi-classical evaluation of interaction energies and the Hirshfeld analysis. In particular, it is shown that a simple topological analysis based on a partition of the electron density cannot alone reveal the whole nature of chemical bonding. More information based on the pair density is necessary. A connection between quantum mechanics and observable quantities is given in order to provide the physical grounds to explain the observations and to justify the interpretations.
THE ELECTROCONDUCTIVITY OF THE LIQUID ALLOYS OF TRANSITION METALS

The concentration dependance of electroresistivity of the liquid binary alloys of transition metals Fe, Co and Ni is calculated. We considered the contribution to conductivity from the s-electrons, described within the model of nearly free electrons. The role of the partially occupied d-bands is reduced to resonance scattering of the s-electrons on d-states. The interaction of the sand d-electrons is described by the hybridization potential of sand d-states. The interaction with the ions, not including the partially occupied d-states, is described using the pseudopotential of the electronion interaction. The electroresistivity of the alloys is calculated in the second order of the perturbation theory in pseudopotential and hybridization potential. The concentration dependance of electroresistivity of the binary alloys approaches the linear regime as the resonance scattering of the s-electrons on d-states prevails over the scattering on the ions. The calculations exhibit good agreement with the experimental data.
The effect of different teaching systems in learning Rhythmic Gymnastics apparatus motor skills

The purpose of this study was to examine which of the two teaching systems, the Current Teaching System (CTS) and the Serial Organization System (SOS), is more effective in the learning rhythmic gymnastics skills in this novice (basic) level of students. The sample that consisted of 84 novices female students of physical education of Athens, aged 18-20 years old (19.02±0.77) who volunteered to participate in this study separated in two groups (n1=39, n2=43). At first, a pre test wad done to ascertain the initial level of performance and a post test after the end of practice in order to assess the effectiveness of these two teaching methods. All the experimental skills were evaluated by two teachers of University who were also official judges in the sport of Rhythmic Gymnastics. All participants took place in a nine weeks intervention program, 2 times per week for 90 minutes in each session (teaching unit). According to the results, although there was not a group effect in the pre test in each apparatus (p>.05), in the post test there was significant group effect in the total number of examined skills (p<.05). Further, there was a significant group effect between the two measurements in the total number of skills in each apparatus of ribbon (p<.05), rope and clubs (p<.001). Furthermore, it has to be stressed that the SOS had higher scores in the majority of examined skills in post test. Conclusively, SOS is more effective than CTS in case of learning Rhythmic Gymnastics skills according to the position of body and apparatus, especially in these cases where the parameters of implementation of exercise are not altered.
Measuring Financial Sentiment to Predict Financial Instability: A New Approach based on Text Analysis

Following the financial crisis of the late 2000s, policy makers have shown considerable interest in monitoring financial stability. Several central banks now publish indices of financial stress, which are essentially based upon market related data. In this paper, we examine the potential for improving the indices by deriving information about emotion shifts in the economy. We report on a new approach, based on the content analysis of very large text databases, and termed directed algorithmic text analysis. The algorithm identifies, very rapidly, shifts through time in the relations between two core emotional groups. The method is robust. The same word-list is used to identify the two emotion groups across different studies. Membership of the words in the lists has been validated in psychological experiments. The words consist of everyday English words with no specific economic meaning. Initial results show promise. An emotion index capturing shifts between the two emotion groups in texts potentially referring to the whole US economy improves the one-quarter ahead consensus forecasts for real GDP growth. More specifically, the same indices are shown to Granger cause both the Cleveland and St Louis Federal Reserve Indices of Financial Stress.
Influence of Extra Weight and Tire Pressure on Fuel Consumption at Normal Tractor Slippage

Tire pressure and wheel load are both easily managed parameters which play a significant role in tillage operations for limiting slip which involves energy loss. To a great extent, this aspect affects the fuel consumption and the time required for soil tillage. The study was focused on the tire pressure and extra weight variation effect on fuel consumption and work productivity for soil tillage at normal tractor wheels slippage (7-15%). The experimental research unit composed of an 82.3 kW 4WD tractor and a reversible 4-bodies plough is presented. Tests were carried out on a stubble loam, where slip of tractor driving wheels was < 15%, tractor front ballast mass was varied in the range from 0 to 520 kg and inflation pressure in the tires from 240 kPa to 100 kPa. Dependences of tractor performance indicators on ballast mass and tires inflation pressure are presented. When tractor tire slip varies in the range from 7 to 15 percent (which is normal slip in the soil), reducing the tires inflation pressure decreases the driving wheel slip and fuel consumption, while increases work productivity. Increasing the additional mass of the tractor (adding ballast weights) decreases the driving wheel slip, increases work productivity, but also increases fuel consumption and soil compaction.

Problem of time in quantum gravity

The Problem of Time occurs because the ‘time’ of GR and of ordinary Quantum Theory are mutually incompatible notions. This is problematic in trying to replace these two branches of physics with a single framework in situations in which the conditions of both apply, e.g. in black holes or in the very early universe. Emphasis in this Review is on the Problem of Time being multi‐faceted and on the nature of each of the eight principal facets. Namely, the Frozen Formalism Problem, Configurational Relationalism Problem (formerly Sandwich Problem), Foliation Dependence Problem, Constraint Closure Problem (formerly Functional Evolution Problem), Multiple Choice Problem, Global Problem of Time, Problem of Beables (alias Problem of Observables) and Spacetime Reconstruction/Replacement Problem. Strategizing in this Review is not just centred about the Frozen Formalism Problem facet, but rather about each of the eight facets. Particular emphasis is placed upon A) relationalism as an underpinning of the facets and as a selector of particular strategies (especially a modification of Barbour relationalism, though also with some consideration of Rovelli relationalism). B) Classifying approaches by the full ordering in which they embrace constrain, quantize, find time/history and find observables, rather than only by partial orderings such as “Dirac‐quantize”. C) Foliation (in)dependence and Spacetime Reconstruction for a wide range of physical theories, strategizing centred about the Problem of Beables, the Patching Approach to the Global Problem of Time, and the role of the question‐types considered in physics. D) The Halliwell‐ and Gambini–Porto–Pullin‐type combined Strategies in the context of semiclassical quantum cosmology.
How robust are community-based plant bioindicators? Empirical testing of the relationship between Ellenberg values and direct environmental measures in woodland communities

There are several community-based bioindicator systems that use species presence or abundance data as proxies for environmental variables. One example is the Ellenberg system, whereby vegetation data are used to estimate environmental soil conditions. Despite widespread use of Ellenberg values in ecological research, the correlation between bioindicated values and actual values is often an implicit assumption rather than based on empirical evidence. Here, we correlate unadjusted and UK-adjusted Ellenberg values for soil moisture, pH, and nitrate in relation to direct environmental measures for 50 woodland sites in the UK, which were subject to repeat sampling. Our results show the accuracy of Ellenberg values is parameter specific; pH values were a good proxy for direct environmental measures but this was not true for soil moisture, when relationships were weak and non-significant. For nitrates, there were important seasonal differences, with a strong positive logarithmic relationship in the spring but a non-significant (and negative) correlation in summer. The UK-adjusted values were better than, or equivalent to, Ellenberg’s original ones, which had been quantified originally for Central Europe, in all cases. Somewhat surprisingly, unweighted values correlated with direct environmental measures better than did abundance-weighted ones. This suggests that the presence of rare plants can be highly important in accurate quantification of soil parameters and we recommend using an unweighted approach. However, site profiles created only using rare plants were inferior to profiles based on the whole plant community and thus cannot be used in isolation. We conclude that, for pH and nitrates, the Ellenberg system provides a useful estimate of actual conditions, but recalibration of moisture values should be considered along with the effect of seasonality on the efficacy of the system.
What Happens When the Wrong Equation is Fitted to Data

A common variant of the Michaelis-Menten model of enzyme kinetics involves inhibition by excess substrate. This phenomenon is known as substrate inhibition and the mathematical description of it requires an inhibition constant (Ki) as well as the usual kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax). Fitting the 3-parameter substrate inhibition expression to data that might reasonably be described by the 2-parameter Michaelis-Menten model yields biased estimates of Km and Vmax. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the extent of the bias is related to the magnitude of the estimated Ki. The quality of the data is particularly important in determining the size of Ki and, therefore, in the bias of the other parameters. Consideration of the residuals, statistical justification of the inclusion of extra parameters and reporting of the estimated values should be matters of routine. The estimates of Km and Vmax obtained from a three-parameter substrate inhibition model can only be compared with the corresponding estimates from the two-parameter Michaelis-Menten model with caution.
Application of 3-D SRME And Multiple Diffraction Removal In the Makassar Straits, Indonesia.

It is recognized that 3-D related noise problems and multiple attenuation in particular can be benefit from currently non-standard acquisition techniques, like, for instance, multi-azimuth (Widmaier et al. 2002) and streamer overlap (van Borselen et al. 2005). However processing solutions are still required for historical and new standard marine acquisition datasets. Especially for the application of 3-D Surface Related Multiple Elimination (SRME), the issues of limited crossline sampling and aperture have to be addressed. A variety of methods for dealing with these issues have been proposed in the literature, which can be broadly categorized into a) a full wavefield interpolation or reconstruction, followed by a large number of 3-D inline convolutions to create a dense grid of multiple contributions (MCs) and finally summation in the crossline direction of those MCs (see, for instance, Baumstein and Hadidi, 2004), or b) calculation of 3-D inline convolutions to create MCs wherever possible using the existing data followed by sparse inversion in the crossline direction (van Dedem and Verschuur, 2002; Hokstad and Sollie, 2003). The hybrid approach described in van Borselen et al. (2005) consists of a more limited sailline regularisation and reconstruction in the crossline direction and sparse inversion of the subsequently increased number of crossline MCs. Major advantages are the reduced number of 3-D inline convolutions that need to be calculated compared to full reconstruction approaches, while with more MCs the sparse inversion becomes easier to parameterize and provides better results. This 3-D prediction approach is used in the current case study.
The Helicon: A New Preon Model

A new preon model is presented as an extension of the semiclassical Helical Solenoid Electron Model that was previously proposed by the author. This helicon model assumes as postulates both the Atomic Principle and the equality between matter and electric charge. These postulates lead us to a radical reinterpretation of the concepts of antimatter and dark matter and form a new framework for future preon theories.
