description: We study the problem of flow of a neutral gas past an infinite cylinder at right angle to its axis at low Reynolds number when the fluid is characterized by broken time-reversal invariance, and hence by odd viscosity in addition to the normal even one. We solve the Oseen approximation to Navier-Stokes equation and calculate the lift force which appears due to the odd viscosity.

description: Prior experimental studies showed that nanowires are promising structures for improving the thermoelectric performance of practical thermoelectric materials due to the strongly induced phonon-boundary scattering. However, few studies examined the impact of phonon-boundary scattering on the thermal conductivity of thermoelectric nanowires from a first-principle approach. In this work, we systematically study the role of phonon-boundary scattering with different boundary specularities on the thermal conductivity of PbSe nanowires by rigorously solving the full phonon Boltzmann transport equation without any adjustable parameters. We observe significant thermal conductivity reduction for rough PbSe nanowires with diameters less than a few hundred nanometers. The reduction reaches ~ 40% for 10 nm thick rough PbSe nanowires at room temperature. The diameter-dependent thermal conductivities are found to contain important information about the phonon mean free path distribution from a standard reconstruction algorithm. The simulation results are important for fundamental understanding of nanoscale thermal transport in thermoelectric materials and will guide future design of thermoelectric devices to achieve better energy conversion efficiency.

Year: 2015

description: Background: Medical laboratory is one of the most at risk place where a range of occupational hazards can occur. Workplace related health impairments, injuries and illnesses which cause great human suffering and incur high costs of capital as a whole intended to identify and prevented by the establishment of Occupational Health and Safety. To avoid these occupational hazards individuals who are working in the laboratory should be aware of safety practice, monitored and evaluated employees information gap, knowledge as well as attitudinal behavior. Objective: To assess knowledge, attitude and practices towards occupational health and safety among Medical laboratory professionals in selected government teaching hospitals in Ethiopia. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted between March and May 2015 among 173 Medical laboratory professionals working in government teaching hospitals. Data was collected using self-administered structured questionnaire; it was also supported by in-depth interview and physical observation checklist. Data entry, analysis and quality of data were maintained by SPSS version 20 software. Level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Result: Of 173 total respondents, 112(64.7%) were male and the age of participant's lies between18 - ≥ 46. The overall mean knowledge score of participant was 6.0 ± (SD 1.29), mean attitude score was 18.7± (SD 4.2) and mean practice score was 20.4 ± (SD 2.31). There were strong association between occupational health & safety training, risk assessment training and knowledge score (p=0.000). Similarly, orientation on occupational health & safety was significantly associated with attitude score (p= 0.002). In addition, work experience (p= 0.000), training on occupational health and safety (p=0.000) and risk assessment (p=0.004) were significantly associated with practice score of laboratory professionals. Conclusion: Training on occupational health & safety as well as risk assessment training were significantly associated with level of knowledge and practice. Moreover, orientation was statistically associated with attitude. Thus intervention that should focus on training occupational health & safety, risk assessment and positive attitude creation are required to strengthen occupational health and safety knowledge, attitude and practice in medical laboratory professionals

Relation between spectral changes and the presence of the lower kHz QPO in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53

description: We fitted the $3-180$-keV spectrum of all the observations of the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636$-$53 taken with the {\it Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer} using a model that includes a thermal Comptonisation component. We found that in the low-hard state the power-law index of this component, $Γ$, gradually increases as the source moves in the colour-colour diagram. When the source undergoes a transition from the hard to the soft state $Γ$ drops abruptly; once the source is in the soft state $Γ$ increases again and then decreases gradually as the source spectrum softens further. The changes in $Γ$, together with changes of the electron temperature, reflect changes of the optical depth in the corona. The lower kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillation (kHz QPO) in this source appears only in observations during the transition from the hard to the soft state, when the optical depth of the corona is high and changes depends strongly upon the position of the source in the colour-colour diagram. Our results are consistent with a scenario in which the lower kHz QPO reflects a global mode in the system that results from the resonance between, the disc and/or the neutron-star surface, and the Comptonising corona.

description: Background: Physiological changes during pregnancy causes alterations in biochemical analytes concentration. Thus, pregnancy specific reference intervals (RI) are important for accurate diagnosis and treatment of cases. In Ethiopia, clinical laboratory test results are usually interpreted using values established on western population. Objective: To establish RIs for common renal and liver function clinical chemistry parameters among apparently healthy pregnant and non- pregnant women in South wollo zone, Amhara National Regional State, northeast Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted on a total of 378 apparently healthy study participants randomly selected from south wollo zone, Ethiopia from April to June 2019. Data like medical history, physical examination and sociodemography were collected by using well organized questionnaire. After the exclusion of outliers using quartile method, Kolmogorov–Sminorv test was used to check its normality. The 95% RI with 95% confidence interval was established using the non-parametric method. The significance of differences between pregnant and non-pregnant women was evaluated using Mann–Whitney U test. Result: There was statistically significant variation between pregnant and non-pregnant women in values of Albumin, T.Protein, ALP, urea and Creatinine but not for AST, ALT, bilirubin(direct) and bilirubin(total). Reference intervals established for pregnant women includes: albumin 26.14–42.87g/l, total protein 48.52–74.71 g/l, AST 2.4–43.6 U/L, ALT 0.94–28.35 U/L, ALP 21.2–337 U/L, bilirubin(direct) 0.03-0.32 mg/dl, bilirubin(total) 0.26- 0.94 mg/dl, creatinine 0.29–0.87 mg/dl, urea 7.17–20.82 mg/dl. Albumin: 32.81–47.87, total protein: 56.71–83.9 U/L, AST: 4.2–37.1 U/L, ALT: 2.69–41.18 U/L, ALP: 3.22–278.7 U/L, bilirubin(direct) 0.1-0.51mg/dl, bilirubin(total) 0.24-1.06mg/dl, creatinine 0.44–1.00 mg/dl, urea 8.07–27.87 mg/dl for non-pregnant women. Conclusion: The RIs provided by this study are decisive in interpreting clinical laboratory results for medical decision making and other health-related conditions. Physiological adaptations of pregnancy should be taken into account when interpreting LFT and RFT in a pregnant woman.

description: A butterfly-based direct combined-field integral equation (CFIE) solver for analyzing scattering from electrically large, perfect electrically conducting objects is presented. The proposed solver leverages the butterfly scheme to compress blocks of the hierarchical LU-factorized discretized CFIE operator and uses randomized butterfly reconstruction schemes to expedite the factorization. The memory requirements and computational cost of the direct butterfly-CFIE solver scale as $O(N\mathrm{log}^2N)$ and $O(N^{1.5}\mathrm{log}N)$, respectively. These scaling estimates permit significant memory and CPU savings when compared to those realized by low-rank (LR) decomposition-based solvers. The efficacy and accuracy of the proposed solver are demonstrated through its application to the analysis of scattering from canonical and realistic objects involving up to 14 million unknowns.

Cosmic Rays in a Galactic Breeze

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Motivated by the discovery of the non-thermal Fermi bubble features both below and above the Galactic plane, we investigate a scenario in which these bubbles are formed through Galacto-centric outflow. Cosmic rays (CR) both diffusing and advecting within a Galactic breeze outflow, interacting with the ambient gas present, give rise to gamma-ray emission, providing an approximately flat surface brightness profile of this emission, as observed. Applying the same outflow profile further out within the disk, the resultant effects on the observable CR spectral properties are determined. A hardening in the spectra due to the competition of advective and diffusive propagation within a particular energy range is noted, even in the limiting case of equal CR diffusion coefficients in the disk and halo. It is postulated that this hardening effect may relate to the observed hardening feature in the CR spectrum at a rigidity of $\approx 200$ GV.

description: Single-mode optical nanofibres are a central component of a broad range of applications and emerging technologies. Their fabrication has been extensively studied over the past decade, but imaging of the final sub-micrometre products has been restricted to destructive or low-precision techniques. Here we demonstrate an optical scattering-based scanning method that uses a probe nanofibre to locally scatter the evanescent field of a sample nanofibre. The method does not damage the sample nanofibre and is easily implemented only using the same equipment as in a standard fibre puller setup. We demonstrate sub-nanometre radial resolution at video rates (0.7 nm in 10 ms) on single mode nanofibres, allowing for a complete high-precision profile to be obtained within minutes of fabrication. The method thus enables non-destructive, fast and precise characterisation of optical nanofibers, with applications ranging from optical sensors and cold atom traps to non-linear optics.

description: The theory of majorization and its variants, including thermomajorization, have been found to play a central role in the formulation of many physical resource theories, ranging from entanglement theory to quantum thermodynamics. Here we formulate the framework of quantum relative Lorenz curves, and show how it is able to unify majorization, thermomajorization, and their noncommutative analogues. In doing so, we define the family of Hilbert $α$-divergences and show how it relates with other divergences used in quantum information theory. We then apply these tools to the problem of deciding the existence of a suitable transformation from an initial pair of quantum states to a final one, focusing in particular on applications to the resource theory of athermality, a precursor of quantum thermodynamics.

description: A theoretical justification of the empirical surface hopping method for the laser-driven molecular dynamics is given utilizing the formalism of the exact factorization of the molecular wavefunction [Abedi et al., PRL $\textbf{105}$, 123002 (2010)] in its quantum-classical limit. Employing an exactly solvable $\textrm H_2^{\;+}$-like model system, it is shown that the deterministic classical nuclear motion on a single time-dependent surface in this approach describes the same physics as stochastic (hopping-induced) motion on several surfaces, provided Floquet surfaces are applied. Both quantum-classical methods do describe reasonably well the exact nuclear wavepacket dynamics for extremely different dissociation scenarios. Hopping schemes using Born-Oppenheimer surfaces or instantaneous Born-Oppenheimer surfaces fail completely.

description: In this paper we investigate a particular ghost-free bimetric theory that exhibits the partially massless (PM) symmetry at quadratic order. At this order the global SO(1,4) symmetry of the theory is enhanced to SO(1,5). We show that this global symmetry becomes inconsistent at cubic order, in agreement with a previous calculation. Furthermore, we find that the PM symmetry of this theory cannot be extended beyond cubic order in the PM field. More importantly, it is shown that the PM symmetry cannot be extended to quartic order in any theory with one massless and one massive spin-2 fields.

description: Background:- Hematologic manifestations in HIV/AIDS positive patients are many. A high prevalence of anemia and significantly reduced white blood cell and neutrophil counts were observed in HIV-infected individuals. Presence of auto antibody also contributes for the development of anemia in HIV positive individuals. Few studies are conducted to show the prevalence of anemia in HIV positive individuals, but there is no documented data that rule out the prevalence of AIHA in HIV positive individuals in Ethiopia. Objective:- To determine the prevalence of autoimmune haemolytic anemia in HIV-infected adult patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized teaching Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods:- Hospital based cross sectional study was conducted on 384 HIV positive individuals using convenient sampling method at Tikur Anbessa Hospital from June 5, 2015 to September 10, 2015. Participants' soco-demographic data, CD4 result and some important information was extracted from participants' records; from patient card and request paper using Microsoft excel. And 5 ml of venous blood was collected for determination of HGB, RBC count, RBC indices, reticulocyte count and other CBC results. After all, DAT was performed and blood film examination was done to confirm hemolysis. Finally data was imported and analyzed using SPSS version 16 statistical soft ware package, and Descriptive statistic and Chi-square tests were used. Result:- Of 384 study participants, 9 (2.34 %) patients are found to be AIHA positive. Of these, 6 (66.7 %) were females and 3 (33.3 %) were males. Nineteen patients had positive DAT result; 10 (52.6 %) had mild anemia, 4 (21 %) moderate and 5 (26.3 %) severe anemia respectively. 37 (9.6 %) patients showed reticulocytopinea, while 31(8.1 %) patients had shown reticulocytosis. From 26 patients who showed evidence for the presence of hemolysis in their blood film, two individuals showed +2 graded hemolysis whereas 24 patients showed +1 graded hemolysis. Conclusion:- Prevalence of AIHA in HIV patients is not common. AIHA can be an etiological cause of anemia most of the time in patients with severe-moderate ranged anemia and in patients with low CD4 count.

Discrete Element Method

description: The structural simulation of masonry elements has been traditionally conducted with Finite Element Models (FEM). Studies from the literature show that these models are capable of accurately reproduce the structural behavior at a micro and macro-scale levels. Despite the good results obtained, the application of FEM implies simplifications regarding the failure modes and the constitutive laws used to represent the behavior of bricks and mortar, as well as the interface between them. Alternative methods are available nowadays for the same purpose. An example is the Discrete Element Model (DEM) that is based on a particle-particle interaction. The simple definition of the interactions in the DEM is an advantage for the simulation of masonry elements. The objective of this master thesis is to evaluate the applicability of DEM to simulate the structural behavior of masonry at a micro and macro-scale level, reproducing the response in terms of deflections, ultimate load and failure modes. First, a review on the literature about DEM and about its application to the analysis of masonry structures was performed. Then, experimental programs conducted by other authors were selected and taken as a reference. Next, the tests found in these experimental programs were simulated with DEM. The numerical results were compared with the experimental data in order to highlight the accuracy, advantages and drawbacks of this approach. A parametric study was as well conducted to evaluate the sensibility of the results to changes in the input parameters of the model. Finally, further research proposals are presented in order to explore in a deeper and more extended way the topics presented on this dissertation. It was found that the use of DEM to simulate the structural behavior of masonry at a micro and macro-scale level, reproducing the response in terms of deflections, ultimate load and failure modes presents quite good results. Good agreement was shown in the description of failure modes and low percentage errors (below 10 %) were found on the computation of the parameters of interest such as strength of the material and maximum resistant load.

description: BACKGROUND Globally, hospitals face growing demands with increasing patient acuity compounded by workforce challenges, balancing finite resources, and responding to strategic developments. Strategizing in organizations is an active process of sensing, planning, implementing, and evaluating strategy. It is recognized that there is a disconnection between strategic planning and implementation; however, little is known about how organizational context influences the strategic process or how hospital personnel engage in strategic activities. STUDY AIMS This review aimed to map the extent and breadth of strategy-as-practice peer-reviewed literature relating to hospital personnel and establish how strategizing or ‘strategy-as-practice’ is described in hospital settings, how it is used, and what gaps exist. METHODS Four databases (Business Source Complete, CINAHL, PsycINFO through EBSCOhost, PubMed) were searched from January 1st, 2018, to June 27th, 2023. All study designs were included, and language was restricted to publications in English. Records were independently screened for eligibility, followed by full-text review. Reporting follows PRISMA-ScR guidelines. RESULTS 4,719 unique records were identified, and 45 full-text papers were included. Preliminary evidence from 17 countries is reported: 27.8% of studies (12/45) report evidence from the USA. All study designs are reported. Few studies (n=4) provided a specific definition of strategizing. 53.3% (24/45 studies) report multidisciplinary team perspectives, with only three studies including patients' perspectives. Flexible approaches are critical to adopting. IMPLICATIONS Current evidence shows that when hospital personnel strategize in practice, they use a combination of planning processes, varying quality improvement tools, and methodological approaches. CONCLUSION Understanding and operationalizing strategy in a hospital setting is critical to maintaining organizational adaptability and improving performance and quality of care. Future research should focus on robust studies with longitudinal follow-up to understand the sustainability of strategizing in hospital settings and how it continues to meet the growing demands for services and activities.

description: In this study we investigate the application of direct fastenings in textile-reinforced concrete for the first time in international research. This efficient combination is promising regarding sustainability and load-bearing reliability due to the fine-grained material structure. We aim to assess the system's feasibility and establish the most favourable framework of practice. Within our test series, we modify the concrete strength, the number of textile layers, the type of textile and the setting process. The most promising results were achieved when using three layers of a symmetric textile regarding geometry and tensile strength without executing a predrilling. While using higher-strength concrete leads to a total load-bearing capacity of up to 7 kN, this implies lower visual quality compared to lower-strength concrete. The latter case, with an average nail performance of over 4 kN, indicates that the proposed fastening-material-combination is highly promising regarding future use cases.

However, other species have recently been actively cultivated: rainbow trout, European catfish, pike, catfish, crucian carp, tench, and among sturgeons the most common are sterlet, Russian sturgeon, stellate sturgeon, beluga, bester, paddlefish, etc. The market of fish feed production is the following: 50% - for carp, 23%- sturgeons, 10% - catfish, 10% - salmon and 7% - other fish species. 42 % of aquaculture farms use compound feeds (local or foreign), 17 % - produce feeds themselves, 8 % - use grain (majority for carp feeding), 33 % - use grain by products and oil cakes as fish feed ingredients. But the trend towards the gradual transition of many Ukrainian producers to intensive forms of aquaculture with the use of modern compound feed is becoming noticeable. Compound feeds for fish are being improved, adapted to new climatic conditions and fish breeds, and the field of feed sales is also developing. An important slogan of aquaculture: quality feed is the key to a successful business in aquaculture.

description: The mechanical resonance properties of a micro-electro-mechanical oscillator with a gap of 1.25 $μ$m was studied in superfluid $^3$He-B at various pressures. The oscillator was driven in the linear damping regime where the damping coefficient is independent of the oscillator velocity. The quality factor of the oscillator remains low ($Q\approx 80$) down to 0.1 $T_c$, 4 orders of magnitude less than the intrinsic quality factor measured in vacuum at 4 K. In addition to the Boltzmann temperature dependent contribution to the damping, a damping proportional to temperature was found to dominate at low temperatures. We propose a multiple scattering mechanism of the surface Andreev bound states to be a possible cause for the anomalous damping.

On the free-precession candidate PSR B1828-11: Evidence for increasing deformation

description: We observe that the periodic variations in spin-down rate and beam-width of the radio pulsar PSR B1828-11 are getting faster. In the context of a free precession model, this corresponds to a decrease in the precession period $P_{\mathrm{fp}}$. We investigate how a precession model can account for such a decrease in $P_{\mathrm{fp}}$, in terms of an increase over time in the absolute biaxial deformation ($|ε_{\mathrm{p}}|{\sim}10^{-8}$) of this pulsar. We perform a Bayesian model comparison against the 'base' precession model (with constant $ε_{\mathrm{p}}$) developed in Ashton et al (2016), and we obtain decisive odds in favour of a time-varying deformation. We study two types of time-variation: (i) a linear drift with a posterior estimate of $\dotε_{\mathrm{p}}{\sim}10^{-18}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and odds of $10^{75}$ compared to the base-model, and (ii) $N$ discrete positive jumps in $ε_{\mathrm{p}}$ with very similar odds to the linear $ε_{\mathrm{p}}$-drift model. The physical mechanism explaining this behaviour is unclear, but the observation could provide a crucial probe of the interior physics of neutron stars. We also place an upper bound on the rate at which the precessional motion is damped, and translate this into a bound on a dissipative mutual friction-type coupling between the star's crust and core.

description: Durch die Transformation in Richtung Lean Production ist in der Industrie in den neunziger Jahren ein Bedarf an (industrie-)soziologischem Wissen entstanden, den es in den zurückliegenden Jahren so nicht gegeben hat. Mit ihrem in den siebziger und achtziger Jahren entwickelten rationalisierungs- und arbeitspolitischen Selbstverständnis kann die Industriesoziologie diesen Bedarf jedoch nicht befriedigen. Notwendig ist nicht nur eine Neubestimmung ihres Verhältnisses zum Prinzip der Wirtschaftlichkeit; gefordert ist vor allem ein Forschungs- und Beratungsansatz, der die Reflexivität des Transformationsprozesses durch eine stärkere soziologische Intervention in das betriebliche Geschehen fördert. Beides ist heute überfällig, will die Industriesoziologie auf den Transformationsprozeß Einfluß nehmen.
description: The implementation of Lean Production in the nineties requires more sociological know-how in industry than in earlier decades. The comprehension of its own political role in the process of rationalization, which has been developed by industrial sociology during the seventies and eighties, is not able to satisfy this requirement. Therefore, industrial sociology not only has to redefine its relationship towards economical principles; it has also to develop an approach research and consulting, which allows a higher degree of sociological intervention into industrial transformation in order to make this process more reflexive. Both is necessary, if industrial sociology wants to get more influence on the process of industrial transformation.

description: Superradiant lasers based on atomic ensembles exhibiting ultra-narrow optical transitions can emit light of unprecedented spectral purity and may serve as active atomic clocks. We consider two frequency-detuned active atomic clocks, which are coupled in a cascaded setup, i.e. as master & slave lasers, and study the synchronization of the slave to the master clock. In a setup where both atomic ensembles are coupled to a common cavity mode such synchronization phenomena have been predicted by Xu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 154101 (2014)] and experimentally observed by Weiner et al. [arXiv:1503.06464 (2015)]. Here we demonstrate that synchronization still occurs in cascaded setups but exhibits distinctly different phase diagrams. We study the characteristics of synchronization in comparison to the case of coupling through a common cavity. We also consider synchronization through a classical channel where light of the master laser is measured phase sensitively and the slave laser is injection locked by feedback and compare to the results achievable by coupling through quantum channels.

description: The quantum steering ellipsoid can be used to visualise two-qubit states, and thus provides a generalisation of the Bloch picture for the single qubit. Recently, a monogamy relation for the volumes of steering ellipsoids has been derived for pure 3-qubit states and shown to be stronger than the celebrated Coffman-Kundu-Wootters (CKW) inequality. We first demonstrate the close connection between this volume monogamy relation and the classification of pure 3-qubit states under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC). We then show that this monogamy relation does not hold for general mixed 3-qubit states and derive a weaker monogamy relation that does hold for such states. We also prove a volume monogamy relation for pure 4-qubit states, and generalize our 3-qubit inequality to n qubits. Finally, we study the effect of noise on the quantum steering ellipsoid and find that the volume of any two-qubit state is non-increasing when the state is exposed to arbitrary local noise. This implies that any volume monogamy relation for a given class of multi-qubit states remains valid under the addition of local noise. We investigate this quantitatively for the experimentally relevant example of isotropic noise.

description: Pressure-induced ordering close to a $z=1$ quantum critical point is studied in the presence of bond disorder in the quantum spin system (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$(Cl$_{1-x}$Br$_{x}$)$_6$ (PHCX) by means of muon-spin rotation and relaxation. As for the pure system (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$Cl$_6$, pressure allows PHCX with small levels of disorder ($x\leq 7.5\%$) to be driven through a quantum critical point separating a low-pressure quantum paramagnetic phase from magnetic order at high pressures. However, the pressure-induced ordered state is highly inhomogeneous for disorder concentrations $x>1\%$. This behavior might be related to the formation of a quantum Griffiths phase above a critical disorder concentration $7.5\%

description: Aufgrund eigener Erfahrungen in unternehmensfinanzierten Beratungsprojekten zur Einführung von Gruppenarbeit setzt der Autor sich mit dem Verhältnis von Industriesoziologie und Organisationsberatung auseinander. Ausgehend von einem veränderten Verständnis des technisch-organisatorischen Wandels, in dessen Folge die Organisation als Ort der Gestaltung von Arbeit und Technik stärker in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses industriesoziologischer Forschungsarbeiten gerückt wurde, wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie das so erarbeitete Wissen über den sozialen Charakter von Veränderungsprozessen in Organisationen seine Wirksamkeit entfalten kann. Im Rückgriff auf die aktuelle Diskussion um systemische Beratungskonzepte skizziert er am praktischen Beispiel die Grundzüge einer Beratungsarbeit, die - im Dialog mit den betrieblichen Akteuren - diesen hilft Gestaltungskonzepte zu erarbeiten und die betriebliche Realität entsprechend der eigenen Zielstellungen zu verändern.
