Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Study on 28Si Single Crystal for the Future Realization of the Kilogram

For the future realization of the kilogram using the X-ray crystal density (XRCD) method, isotopically enriched silicon crystals grown by the floating zone method are employed. In this paper, we present quantitative electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements on <sup>28</sup>Si single crystal AVO28 to increase the reliability of mass deficit correction in the XRCD method. We detected phosphorus impurity in the crystal and determined its concentration to be 3.2(5) <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times \,\,10^{12}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> cm<sup>−3</sup>, which is consistent with that estimated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the EPR measurements revealed that the concentrations of nine types of vacancy defects with unpaired electrons in the crystal are less than 1 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times \,\,10^{12}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> cm<sup>−3</sup> at 25 K both in a dark environment and under illumination. As a result, the necessary mass deficit correction due to these vacancy defects is estimated to be 0.0(2) <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{g}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> for 1-kg AVO28 spheres.
EMS Measurements of the Valence Spectral Function of Silicon - A Test of Many-Body Theory

The spectral function A(q,omega) of silicon has been measured along a number of symmetry directions using high-energy high-resolution electron momentum spectroscopy. It is compared with first-principles calculations based on the interacting one-electron Green's function which is evaluated in the GW and the cumulant expansion approximations. Positions of the quasiparticle peaks (dispersion), their widths (lifetimes), and the extensive satellite structures are measured over a broad range of energies and momenta. The band dispersions are well described by both calculations, but the satellite predicted by the GW calculation is not observed. Unlike the GW calculation, the cumulant expansion calculation gives a significantly better description of the shape and momentum dependence of the satellite structure, presenting a promising approach for studying high-energy excitations.The spectral function A(q,omega) of silicon has been measured along a number of symmetry directions using high-energy high-resolution electron momentum spectroscopy.

Sentence Fusion to Cohesive Text Generation

This work examines a challenging extension of the conventional sentence fusion task of merging two sentences into a single sentence. Here, instead of only two sentences, we aim to fuse multiple related sentences into a cohesive text. We model this generation as an end-to-end learning task for sequence to sequence models. First, we compile a novel and a large scale dataset from two multi-document summarization datasets. Next, we finetune a state-of-the-art text summarization model on our dataset. Finally, we conduct extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation following best practices for evaluating automatically generated text.
A SECOND-ORDER SYMPLECTIC METHOD FOR AN ADVECTION-DIFFUSION-REACTION PROBLEM IN BIOSEPARATION

We consider an advection-diﬀusion-reaction problem with non-homogeneous boundary conditions modeling the chromatography process, a vital stage in bioseparation. We prove stability and error estimates for both constant and aﬃne adsorption, using the midpoint method for time discretization and ﬁnite elements for spatial discretization. We also did the stability analysis for nonlinear, explicit adsorption in continuous case. We performed the numerical tests that validate our theoretical results.
Verifying Separation Logic in Chalice

In this bachelor thesis we build a tool that translates programs written in VeriFast to Chalice. It is based on the theory from the paper “The Relationship Between Separation Logic and Implicit Dynamic Frames”[7] by Matthew J. Parkinson and Alexander J. Summers. Our main contribution, besides implementing the translation, consists of enhancing the methodology to translate the parameterised predicates of VeriFast to parameterless predicates and heap-functions in Chalice.
I NTERNATIONAL D IFFERENCES IN D RUG P RICES

n Abstract This paper addresses how and why drug prices differ across countries. Studies of international variation in drug prices reach varied conclusions owing to methodological and data disparities. Price differences do exist across countries, with the United States footing the highest bill, but the differences are not nearly as large as they appear at ﬁrst glance. The higher prices in the United States are concentrated among a subset of brand-name drugs and among those without insurance covering drugs. Some U.S. health plans obtain price concessions from manufacturers similar to those obtained by national governments. Price concessions occur whenever purchasers are willing to let price be a consideration in decisions about access and utilization. In low-income countries the vast majority are unwilling to pay for effective drugs simply because they are unable to pay. Low-income nations need more price discrimination—and vastly lower prices—if they are ever to afford the world’s most effective medicines. This paper addresses three questions: ( a ) How do drug prices differ across coun-tries? , ( b ) What accounts for those differences? , and ( c ) What are the arguments for changing the distribution of prices or keeping them intact? We conclude that ﬁnd-ings about the extent of cross-country variation in drug prices differ widely, largely owing to methodological disparities and data problems. However, in general, the evidence suggests that although price differences do exist across countries, with the United States footing the highest bill, the differences are not nearly as large as they appear at ﬁrst glance. And, the high prices paid in the United States may be concentrated among the small minority of individuals who lack health insurance covering drugs. The reasons for disparities among rich nations boil down to a consideration decisions about access
TRANSITIONAL FLOW PREDICTION OF A COMPRESSOR AIRFOIL

OF THESIS TRANSITIONAL FLOW PREDICTION OF A COMPRESSOR AIRFOIL The steady flow aerodynamics of a cascade of compressor airfoils is computed using a two-dimensional thin layer Navier-Stokes flow solver. The Dhawan and Narasimha transition model and Mayle‟s transition length model were implemented in this flow solver so that transition from laminar to turbulent flow could be included in the computations. A method to speed up the convergence of the fully turbulent calculations has been introduced. In addition, the effect of turbulence production formulations and including streamline curvature correction in the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model on the transition calculations is studied. These transitional calculations are correlated with the low and high incidence angle experimental data from the NASA-GRC Transonic Flutter Cascade. Including the transitional flow showed a trendwise improvement in the correlation of the computational predictions with the pressure distribution experimental data at the high incidence angle condition where a large separation bubble existed in the leading edge region of the suction surface.
Effect and Safety of Castor Oil on Labor Induction and Prevalence of Vaginal Delivery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background: Castor oil is used in some countries to induce labor, but results on its effectiveness and safety is controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of castor oil on labor induction and prevalence of vaginal delivery along with investigating its safety. Materials and Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched systematically up to September 2020. Observational studies and Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs), which assessed the effect of castor oil on labor induction in English and Persian languages using different combinations of the related key terms and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms were collected and analyzed independently by two authors. Random effect model was used for meta-analysis. The studies were included in which the Relative Risk (RR) had been reported with 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs). Results: A total of 12 studies consisting 1653 pregnant women were included. The mean age of women who used castor oil was 24.72 years and in control group was 24.67 years. Results showed that labor induction was significantly higher in castor oil group than control group (RR: 3.27; 95% CI (1.96, 5.46)). Prevalence of vaginal delivery was 81% in the castor oil group and 69% in the control group. Conclusions: It can be concluded that use of castor oil has positive effect on labor induction and increases the prevalence of vaginal delivery. None of the studies considered in this meta-analysis reported any serious harmful effects for the use of castor oil.
Influence of Agricultural Activities on Housing and Settlement Patterns of Rural Communities in Benue State Nigeria

Physical, social, and economic elements, such as agricultural occupation, impact the forms of house and settlement patterns such as shape, space enclosure, appearance, and organization. This research aims to investigate the impact of agricultural activities on the housing and settlement patterns of the Benue people of central Nigeria. The exploratory sequential research approach was utilized where qualitative and quantitative attributes and consequences were elicited based on the Means-End Chain mode. The study was done in stages between June 2020 and March 2022, with 24 individuals first interviewed and 474 nominal survey questionnaires completed and returned. Preliminary data checks for the subsequent 241 ordinal surveys returned to reveal a significant Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity, a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of 0.872, and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.934. While the interviews and nominal surveys provide considerable correlations between agricultural activities and the people’s settlement patterns, statistical validations of the ordinal survey yield minute evidence of the associations. The conclusions of this study are consistent with prior studies, which connect agricultural activities to people’s house form and settlement patterns. It is recommended that authorities make transformative efforts to nucleate the fragmented communities to free up more area for mechanized farming, combat insecurity, and reduce competition for territorial resources.
Evaluation of ECG Repolarization Parameters in a Worker Cohort Working the Night Shift

Objectives Night Shift work is an increasingly common working order that affects human well-being and it is little known about its arrhythmic role in the cardiovascular system. We aimed to investigate the effect of working at night shifts on P-wave dispersion (Pd), QT and QTc dispersions (QTd, QTcd resp) on surface electrocardiography. Methods We included 286 foundry workers who work at night shift and 100 foundry workers who work on day time only. The night shift workers were divided into three subgroups according to the length of time they worked at night shift. Surface electrocardiography and blood tests were applied for all participants. Results Pd, QTd and QTcd values increased in the night shift workers compared to the day time workers (p < 0.05). In subgroup analysis; the night shift workers for more than 15 years had a significantly higher Pd, QTd and QTcd compared to others (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations with working duration and Pd (r = 0.578, p < 0.001) and QTcd (r = 0.417, p < 0.001). In the linear regression analysis, working duration at night shift was significantly associated with Pd and QTcd values, independent from other associated clinical risk parameters. Conclusions This study makes one of the first attempts to assess changes in ECG parameters reflecting tendency to rhythm disturbances, in night shift workers. Our results further underline the importance of covering a comprehensive evaluation of ECG in periodical health check-ups in night shift workers to evaluate the risk of both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
Detect Overlapping Community With Reliability Measure And Rule Based For Improving Recommender Systems

: With the affluence of information produced by users in websites, people have problems to find the best information. Recommender systems are a big ingredients of online systems such as e-stores e-commerce providers. Recommendation methods use information available from users-items interactions and their contextual data to provide a best list of items for users. These methods are constructed based on similarity between users and/or items (e.g., a user is likely to purchase the same items as his/her most similar users). In this paper, we introduce a novel community detection recommendation algorithm that is based on rules. Community detection create groups of interacting vertices (i

Mechanics of forward flight in insects

This study examines the kinematics, aerodynamics, and energetics of forward flight in insects. Bumblebees and hoverflies in controlled free flight were filmed over a range of flight speeds with a high speed camera at 5000 frames a second. The wing motions in three dimensions were reconstructed using a projection analysis technique. A new method was developed to determine from a single film image the span-wise angle of attack of the wing. The variation with forward speed of kinematic parameters describing the nature of the wing beat is described. The results of detailed morphological analyses of the wings and bodies of those insects filmed in free flight are presented. Measurements of lift and drag on isolated insect wings and bodies were made with an optoelectronic force transducer in order to determine their steady-state aerodynamic characteristics. The variation of lift and drag coefficients with airspeed and object orientation was determined for use in later calculations of lift and power requirements. Mean lift and drag coefficients, as averaged spatially for the whole wing and temporally for the wing-beat, were calculated from the kinematic data using theories of steady-state aerodynamics. Total mechanical, power output as a function of forward speed was thus determined. Measurements of the oxygen consumption of free-flying bumblebees and hoverflies were made using a closed circuit wind tunnel. These results were compared with calculated mechanical power requirements to derive the mechanochemical efficiency of the flight system at different flight speeds.
DETERMINANTS OF RESEARCH INTEGRATION INTO TEACHING AND ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE TALES OF BUSINESS EDUCATION FACULTY MEMBERS

All over the world, there are growing concerns about the significant impact played by faculty members in their quest to actively involve their students in the teaching and learning process coupled with administrative processes. Relating to universities in Ghana and in most of the world’s universities, the major criteria for faculty promotion are the quantity and quality of research papers in reputable journals. This has triggered the popular dictum “publish or perish”. Therefore, most faculty members, desirous not to perish (stagnate in their career) and in their quest to be elevated higher on the academic ladder, spend substantial amount of their time working on their research interests to the neglect of integrating these researches into their teaching and administrative practices. This has been attributed to several confounding factors of which this study seeks to unearth. Using the sequential explanatory research design of the mixed methods, the study sought to espouse the determinants of faculty’s ability to effectively integrate research into teaching and administrative practices for purposes of corroboration and expansion. By adopting the census method, all 162 Business Education faculty members were engaged from the public universities in Ghana that offered Business Education. Questionnaires and interview protocols were used for data collection. The questionnaires were validated through the conduct of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). It was therefore, concluded that the determinants of the research-teaching nexus are more curriculum-related. Thus, the nexus highly affects the curriculum than any other aspect of university processes and administrative practices. Nevertheless, it is worthy of note to acknowledge that it does not mean that any researchactive faculty member would automatically integrate their research experience into teaching and administrative practices because such activities require conscious, intentional and intensive efforts. It emanated from the study that the determinants of the research-teaching integration include research productivity stimulation factor, empirically-based teaching factor, research active curriculum factor, time-oriented factor, and responsive curriculum factors. Responsive curriculum is the dominant factor among all the factors affecting the compatibility between research and teaching. It is therefore recommended that universities should draft discipline-specific research-teaching nexus policy documents to cater for subject-specific differences in terms of implementing the nexus. Faculty members should also be sensitised on how to balance their limited time between research and teaching in order to optimise the benefits associated with the research-teaching-administrative nexus to inform both their teaching and administrative practices.
Occupants' behaviours in controlling blinds in UK primary schools

The environmental conditions experienced in UK schools not only influence the effectiveness of teaching and learning but also affect energy consumption and occupant behaviour plays a critical role in determining such conditions. The aim of this study is to understand occupant behaviour in controlling window blinds in UK primary schools which not only mediate internal conditions but also influence the use of artificial lighting and consequently electricity consumption. Occupant behaviour in controlling blinds against direct solar gain and glare through windows in 140 classrooms of 22 primary schools between 2007 and 2008 was studied through questionnaires, interviews and observations of blind status. Results show that on average blinds are closed very regularly in all the schools except one. This is due to a wish to prevent overheating, reduce glare and also limit the impact of distractions from outside, as some classrooms are located on the ground floor. Such behaviour affects both the effectiveness of teaching and learning and also electricity consumption and consequently a school’s carbon foot print. It is also likely to be at least in part responsible for the gap between design the energy consumption predicted at the design stage and that actually experienced when the school is in use. Designers need to understand the implications of this behaviour to ensure they deliver effective, energy efficient spaces that perform as anticipated.
Factors influencing intention to use e-learning by agricultural extension agents in Malaysia

The application of e-learning has extended beyond the traditional educational establishments to various other areas including agricultural sector. In agricultural sector, extension services are perhaps the key beneficiary of e-learning, being in the unique position as an intermediary between agricultural specialists and farmers.Hence the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, management support and training; and the intention to use e-learning technology among agricultural extension agents in Malaysian agricultural sector.This quantitative study was based on Theory of Planned Behavior with management support and training as additional constructs.While there were many studies that investigated factors affecting intention to use e learning in educational institutions, there were limited studies of the same in the context of extension agents in agriculture setting.The results showed that all of the hypotheses developed by the previous authors were supported by the study, and further revealed that management support is the most important determinant of agricultural extension agent’s intention to use e-learning, followed by attitude.Finally, the implications of this study were discussed, and further research directions were proposed.
