Analysing the efficacy of training strategies in enhancing productivity and advancement in profession: theoretical analysis in Indian context

An assessment of those needs, also known as a needs analysis, must be carried out in order to ascertain if the organization's requirements, objectives, and concerns can be achieved or addressed via training. In conducting our research, we reviewed training and development-related writing from 1971 to 2023. We believed that the use of more sophisticated training evaluation techniques and statistical approaches, together with an increase in the technological complexity of training design and methodology, set the post-1971 era apart. To be effective, a qualitative review must place more of a focus on qualitative methods of evaluating training effectiveness. Similar to earlier training and development reviews, the present study considered practitioner-oriented literature if it met the criteria listed below for inclusion. A thorough search of the academic literature was conducted to find empirical studies that assessed training programmes or examined the effectiveness of specific training components. After reviewing their abstracts, it was decided to keep 58 articles and papers since they had the proper information. Our research showed that organisations with a strong reputation for employee development are a completely different tale. The majority of businesses monitor the effects of their training efforts in the area of organisational effectiveness. For the second category, increases in productivity, revenue, and profitability are typical signs of organisational success. Overall, there is far more research on team and individual benefits than there is on organisational ones.
Applying flow models of different complexity for estimation of turbine wakes

The SCADIS model, originally developed for canopy flow, has been applied to wind turbine wake problems. The model is a modified version of the popular two-equation E - w model that takes turbulence generation associated with drag into account. Calculations show good agreement with observed wind turbine wakes, both for and isolated turbine and for combined wakes from several turbines. A simplified model based on linearization of the SCADIS equations was also made. The results of the linearized model were scaled to match the full CFD model in the far field of the wake of a solitary turbine, and, via the principle of superposition, these results were generalised to more complex situations. The linearized model is much faster than the full CFD model and can be used to scan a large number of flow cases where relative rather than absolute accuracy is required. In this way a gain of computational speed of 1000 or more can be achieved.
Information and Inaccuracy

This article proposes a new interpretation of mutual information (MI). We examine three extant interpretations of MI by reduction in doubt, by reduction in uncertainty, and by divergence. We argue that the first two are inconsistent with the epistemic value of information (EVI) assumed in many applications of MI: the greater is the amount of information we acquire, the better is our epistemic position, other things being equal. The third interpretation is consistent with EVI, but it is faced with the problem of measure sensitivity and fails to justify the use of MI in giving definitive answers to questions of information. We propose a fourth interpretation of MI by reduction in expected inaccuracy, where inaccuracy is measured by a strictly proper monotonic scoring rule. It is shown that the answers to questions of information given by MI are definitive whenever this interpretation is appropriate, and that it is appropriate in a wide range of applications with epistemic implications. 1 Introduction 2 Formal Analyses of the Three Interpretations 2.1 Reduction in doubt 2.2 Reduction in uncertainty 2.3 Divergence 3 Inconsistency with Epistemic Value of Information 4 Problem of Measure Sensitivity 5 Reduction in Expected Inaccuracy 6 Resolution of the Problem of Measure Sensitivity 6.1 Alternative measures of inaccuracy 6.2 Resolution by strict propriety 6.3 Range of applications 7 Global Scoring Rules 8 Conclusion 1 Introduction 2 Formal Analyses of the Three Interpretations 2.1 Reduction in doubt 2.2 Reduction in uncertainty 2.3 Divergence 2.1 Reduction in doubt 2.2 Reduction in uncertainty 2.3 Divergence 3 Inconsistency with Epistemic Value of Information 4 Problem of Measure Sensitivity 5 Reduction in Expected Inaccuracy 6 Resolution of the Problem of Measure Sensitivity 6.1 Alternative measures of inaccuracy 6.2 Resolution by strict propriety 6.3 Range of applications 6.1 Alternative measures of inaccuracy 6.2 Resolution by strict propriety 6.3 Range of applications 7 Global Scoring Rules 8 Conclusion
Plasma evolution regulations with the change of initial conditions of femtosecond laser and an optical detecting scheme is verified numerically

The plasma channel evolution tendencies are studied numerically with the change of initial conditions based on the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation. Then, the accuracy of an optical scheme to detect the plasma density inside the filaments is certified numerically. A Gaussian beam with pulse width 50fs, radius 2.5mm ranging energy from 10mJ to 50mJ at interval of 10mJ are simulated to yield plasma channel. With the augment of energy, firstly, the beginning position of plasma channel tend to be drew back gradually whereas the end position of the channel can be putted forward in a gradient form instead of continuously. Secondly, the number of peaks add one each time when the energy increase 10mJ. Lastly, the radius of plasma channel barely changes with initial energy up from 10mJ to 50mJ. On the other hand, plasma channel produced by a Gaussian beam with pulse width 50fs, energy 50mJ ranging the radius from 2.5mm to 10mm at interval of 2.5mm are simulated. With the increase of initial beam waist, the plasma channel length becomes shorter. The channel becomes broader and broader whereas the length of the channel becomes shorter. In order to verify the rationality of the approximation, Nornaraki detecting scheme through interference of the probe laser has been tested with the numerical simulation. As a consequence, the integral of refractive index along the radius direction can be replaced by the product of average refractive index and plasma channel diameter.
A FOUR-FLUID MHD MODEL OF THE SOLAR WIND/INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM INTERACTION WITH TURBULENCE TRANSPORT AND PICKUP PROTONS AS SEPARATE FLUID

We have developed a four-fluid, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic model of the solar wind interaction with the local interstellar medium. The unique features of the model are: (a) a three-fluid description for the charged components of the solar wind and interstellar plasmas (thermal protons, electrons, and pickup protons), (b) the built-in turbulence transport equations based on Reynolds decomposition and coupled with the mean-flow Reynolds-averaged equations, and (c) a solar corona/solar wind model that supplies inner boundary conditions at 40 au by computing solar wind and magnetic field parameters outward from the coronal base. The three charged species are described by separate energy equations and are assumed to move with the same velocity. The fourth fluid in the model is the interstellar hydrogen which is treated by separate continuity, momentum, and energy equations and is coupled with the charged components through photoionization and charge exchange. We evaluate the effects of turbulence transport and pickup protons on the global heliospheric structure and compute the distribution of plasma, magnetic field, and turbulence parameters throughout the heliosphere for representative solar minimum and maximum conditions. We compare our results with Voyager 1 observations in the outer heliosheath and show that the relative amplitude of magnetic fluctuations just outside the heliopause is in close agreement with the value inferred from Voyager 1 measurements by Burlaga et al. The simulated profiles of magnetic field parameters in the outer heliosheath are in qualitative agreement with the Voyager 1 observations and with the analytical model of magnetic field draping around the heliopause of Isenberg et al.
Low cost label-free live cell imaging for biological samples

This paper reports the progress to develop a practical phase measuring microscope offering new capabilities in terms of phase measurement accuracy and quantification of cell:cell interactions over the longer term. A novel, low cost phase interference microscope for imaging live cells (label-free) is described. The method combines the Zernike phase contrast approach with a dual mirror design to enable phase modulation between the scattered and un-scattered optical fields. Two designs are proposed and demonstrated, one of which retains the common path nature of Zernike’s original microscopy concept. In both setups the phase shift is simple to control via a piezoelectric driven mirror in the back focal plane of the imaging system. The approach is significantly cheaper to implement than those based on spatial light modulators (SLM) at approximately 20% of the cost. A quantitative assessment of the performance of a set of phase shifting algorithms is also presented, specifically with regard to broad bandwidth illumination in phase contrast microscopy. The simulation results show that the phase measurement accuracy is strongly dependent on the algorithm selected and the optical path difference in the sample.
Style-Content Metric Learning for Multidomain Remote Sensing Object Recognition

Previous remote sensing recognition approaches predominantly perform well on the training-testing dataset. However, due to large style discrepancies not only among multidomain datasets but also within a single domain, they suffer from obvious performance degradation when applied to unseen domains. In this paper, we propose a style-content metric learning framework to address the generalizable remote sensing object recognition issue. Specifically, we firstly design an inter-class dispersion metric to encourage the model to make decision based on content rather than the style, which is achieved by dispersing predictions generated from the contents of both positive sample and negative sample and the style of input image. Secondly, we propose an intra-class compactness metric to force the model to be less style-biased by compacting classifier's predictions from the content of input image and the styles of positive sample and negative sample. Lastly, we design an intra-class interaction metric to improve model's recognition accuracy by pulling in classifier's predictions obtained from the input image and positive sample. Extensive experiments on four datasets show that our style-content metric learning achieves superior generalization performance against the state-of-the-art competitors.

Interconnections between Minister Cabinets in Greece. A Bicentennial Study with Implications on Economy

In this paper we deal with a network analysis of interconnected cabinets in Greece for an extended time period. In parallel, we present a small review of the economic crises that have occurred in Greece over this period. More particularly, we used historical sources to locate all different Greek governments and all economic crises starting from the 1821 Greek revolution to the present days. We also formed a two-mode (also known as affiliation) network of ministers and cabinets and subsequently created a network of interconnected cabinets. We used dedicated software to visualize this network and used Social Network Analytical procedures in order to calculate its properties. Finally, in an attempt to investigate possible relations between network metrics and economic crises, we note and discuss an interesting observation between a specific metrics and such major economic events. In our paper, we firstly introduce the context and present our research questions. We then present the relevant literature, mainly discussing the extent to which Social Network Analysis has been used to investigate patterns of behaviors in politics. We then proceed to presenting and applying our methodology on network creation, visualization and metrics computations. The following section discusses the longitudinal evolution of our network and the relation between its clustering coefficient and the emergence of economic crises. We then finalize our paper with some conclusions.
Chirality, extended magnetohydrodynamics statistics and topological constraints for solar wind turbulence

We unite the one-flow-dominated-state (OFDS) argument of \citet{MeyrandGaltierPRL12} with the one-chiral-sector-dominated-state (OCSCS) one \citep[][]{hydrochirality} to form a nonlinear extended-magnetohydrodynamics (XMHD) theory for the solar wind turbulence (SWT), \textbf{ranging from the MHD- to subproton-, and even to subelectron-scale regimes} \citep[modifying the theory of][]{AbdelhamidLingamMahajanAPJ16}. Degenerate chiral states in \citet{MiloshevichLingamMorrisonNJP17}'s XMHD absolute equilibria are exposed with helical representation, to offer the basis of replacing the linear wave (of infinitesimal or arbitrarily finite amplitudes) arguments of previous theories with OCSDS. Possible connection of the OFDS-plus-OCSDS theory with the local minimal-energy/stability principle is also discussed.
HEAT PIPE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: A HISTORICAL REVIEW

This presentation attempts to give a historical review of heat pipe science and technology up to the present state. In a first part, a brief introduction is given into design, operation and performance limits of heat pipes and closed two-phase thermosyphons. In a second part, the historic development of closed two-phase thermosyphons and heat pipes is highlighted. It includes the history of the International Heat Pipe Conference (IHPC) series, whose 40 years anniversary we are celebrating this year. A list of overview reports and textbooks is given. A large section of this second part deals with major inventions and developments from the origins to our time. Here one can see, rather compressed and certainly not fully complete, the multitude of heat pipe/thermosyphon designs which have been developed to solve a great variety of thermal control tasks. It has also been tried to classify the numerous members of the heat pipe family in the form of a table of passive liquid-vapour heat transfer devices. The third part of the presentation deals with applications. From five of the many application fields, some selected examples are given: thermosyphons for permafrost stabilization and deicing; heat pipe/thermosyphon heat exchangers; cooling of electric and electronic devices and components; liquid metal heat pipes for temperature calibration, material treatment and solar applications; (open and closed) two-phase thermosyphons for passive nuclear safety systems.

The effect of Family Support on Work Satisfaction is not directly evidenced but is visible through Family to Work Enrichment. Other variables had significant direct effects. Implications of the research: The studies infer that the factors of authentic leadership, Co-workers support and Family Support provide for effective work and family satisfaction either directly or through manifestation of Work to Family Enrichment and Family to Work Enrichment effects. Originality/value: This study identifies the gap that there is not enough study and literature available especially connected to the Work-Life Balance of Women in the Electronics Industry mainly working in shifts in India as well as Globally.
Attitudes and beliefs toward physics: A mini review

A mini review of attitudes and beliefs toward physics has been carried out. The purpose of this study was to address aspects that influence attitudes and beliefs toward physics and various learning models that can increase attitudes and beliefs toward physics. The method used in this study was literature review. Literature review was done by searching for keywords, i.e.: attitudes towards physics and beliefs towards physics. This keyword search was done through Google Scholar, Base, and Core search engines. We have obtained 25 articles that matched the keywords and have been screened with the limitation of the year of publication, namely the last 10 years. Through this literature review it can be obtained that physics attitudes and beliefs were influenced by gender and personality, grade level, type of school, and age. Contradictions regarding aspects that influence attitudes and beliefs about physics occur in the gender aspect. Various learning methods to improve attitudes and beliefs about physics were cooperative learning models with jigsaw, Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), concept maps, peer instruction methods, open inquiry methods, learning integrated with music, and learning using a computer simulation model.
Modelling the situation of driving on the grip limit with DDPG algorithm

The number of papers in the topic of autonomous vehicle research is growing exponentially. This paper addresses the problem of self driving a car on tire grip limit, in other words it gives a simple model of a race car driver. Driving is transformed into a simple deep learning problem, where the agent has one action, that is the direction in which the actual speed vector needs to be modified for the next step, and the environment state contains of the actual position and speed. The environment models the race track as a two colour map, to decide on and off track positions, and the car as a point mass with maximal possible acceleration according to the so called GG diagram. Results show that the agent can learn how to drive on the track under the described circumstances.
An Update on MYBPC3 Gene Mutation in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent genetically inherited cardiomyopathy that follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The majority of HCM cases can be attributed to mutation of the MYBPC3 gene, which encodes cMyBP-C, a crucial structural protein of the cardiac muscle. The manifestation of HCM’s morphological, histological, and clinical symptoms is subject to the complex interplay of various determinants, including genetic mutation and environmental factors. Approximately half of MYBPC3 mutations give rise to truncated protein products, while the remaining mutations cause insertion/deletion, frameshift, or missense mutations of single amino acids. In addition, the onset of HCM may be attributed to disturbances in the protein and transcript quality control systems, namely, the ubiquitin–proteasome system and nonsense-mediated RNA dysfunctions. The aforementioned genetic modifications, which appear to be associated with unfavorable lifelong outcomes and are largely influenced by the type of mutation, exhibit a unique array of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to arrhythmic syncope and even sudden cardiac death. Although the current understanding of the MYBPC3 mutation does not comprehensively explain the varied phenotypic manifestations witnessed in patients with HCM, patients with pathogenic MYBPC3 mutations can exhibit an array of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to advanced heart failure and sudden cardiac death, leading to a higher rate of adverse clinical outcomes. This review focuses on MYBPC3 mutation and its characteristics as a prognostic determinant for disease onset and related clinical consequences in HCM.
TRAVELING WAVES IN A DIFFUSIVE PREDATOR-PREY MODEL WITH GENERAL FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE

This article concerns the existence of traveling waves in a diffusive predator-prey model with general functional response. By applying the Schauder fixed theorem, we establish existence results of traveling wave solutions. The results are then applied to the predator-prey model with Holling type-II response. Our results indicate that there is a transition zone moving from the state with no species to the coexistence state of both species.
A Study on the Fluid-Structure Interaction using LSFEM

A study on the fluid-structure interaction using LSFEM is presented. To consider fluid-structure interaction, staggered scheme, which solves fluid and structure respectively by separate solvers in a predictor-corrector fashion, is used. To analyze fluid-structure interaction effectively, LSFEM is introduced in analyzing the fluid region. 2-D, incompressible and viscous fluid in the steady state is considered. The structure region is restricted in plane strain state including nonlinear behavior, and is analyzed by using commercial Galerkin FEM code ABAQUS. Also, a remeshing scheme for the fluid region using artificial spring elements is suggested. This solution procedure is applied to the flow around a slender structure problem and microvalve problem. The results are verified by comparing with the analytical solutions.
