description: Reports of the Austrian Insurance Institutions (AUVA and SVB) about accidents at work indicate that employees in agriculture are exposed to accident risks. For a detailed investigation, data of the accident databank and the accident reports of the victims of accidents with high pressure cleaners for the period from 2008 to 2010 were analysed descriptively and analytically. The aim of the case study which was based on a small sample size with precise filled out accident reports, was to evaluate the usefulness of the European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) suggested variables and categories for the identification of safety deficits in the national databank, and furthermore, to identify the risk factors that may cause an accident during the human-machine interaction. The results showed that the victims were farm managers; the majority of them were over 40 years of age. Half of the incidents happened in autumn and on weekdays, especially in the afternoon, while cleaning machinery, stable parts and central heating boilers, as well as while filling the lye in the store tank, removing the hose, and transporting machinery. All incidents occurred due to different deviations and contacts with the machine or machine parts. Missing protective equipment and clothing, as well as improper handling and securing of the work area could be identified as safety deficits. The database analysis did not reveal the relevant parameters of the human-machine interaction by virtue of their generalisation. The analysis of the accident reports was required for the identification of the accident scenarios and causes related to the agricultural terminology and the incidental human-machine interaction, which allowed the determination of safety deficits for first prevention recommendations.

description: Young's moduli of regular two-dimensional truss-like and eye-shape-like structures are simulated by using the finite element method. The structures are the idealizations of soft polymeric materials used in the electret applications. In the simulations size of the representative smallest units are varied, which changes the dimensions of the cell-walls in the structures. A power-law expression with a quadratic as the exponential term is proposed for the effective Young's moduli of the systems as a function of the solid volume fraction. The data is divided into three regions with respect to the volume fraction; low, intermediate and high concentrations. The parameters of the proposed power-law expression in each region are later represented as a function of the structural parameters, unit-cell dimensions. The presented expression can be used to predict structure/property relationship in materials with similar cellular structures. It is observed that the structures with volume fractions of solid higher than 0.15 exhibit the importance of the cell-wall thickness contribution in the elastic properties. The cell-wall thickness is the most significant factor to predict the effective Young's modulus of regular cellular structures at high volume fractions of solid. At lower concentrations of solid, eye-like structure yields lower Young's modulus than the truss-like structure with the similar anisotropy. Comparison of the numerical results with those of experimental data of poly(propylene) show good aggreement regarding the influence of cell-wall thickness on elastic properties of thin cellular films.

description: We analyse the properties of generic models based on an SU(3) family symmetry providing a full description of quark charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing angles. We show that a precise fit of the resulting fermion textures is consistent with CP being spontaneously broken in the flavour sector. The CP violating phases are determined by the scalar potential and we discuss how symmetries readily lead to a maximal phase controlling CP violation in the quark sector. In a specific model the CP violation to be expected in the neutrino sector is related to that in the quark sector and we determine this relation for two viable models. In addition to giving rise to the observed structure of quark and lepton masses this class of model solves both the CP and flavour problems normally associated with supersymmetric models. The flavour structure of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms is controlled by the family symmetry and we analyse some of the related phenomenological implications.

description: Accurate weight-based packing of ‘packages labelled by count’ necessitate very low coefficients of variation of unit weight. For agricultural products with relatively high coefficient of variation, the usual weighing methods are therefore not suitable. In this paper, a method that supports the count-to-weight transform of pre-packed packages of products with wide variability of characteristics is presented. The developed innovative weighing method utilises a weighing procedure where the coefficient of variation of the product's unit weight is used in order to determine the critical package weight and to comply with the package nominal definitions. The method involves a weighing procedure of ‘packages labelled by count’ which is based on a mathematical model which reduces the variability in package size and eliminates the cases of under filling of packages. The method was validated experimentally. The results revealed that the variability of package size is high when counting manually. In contrast, by implementing the proposed method the standard deviation of the quantity in a package was reduced by 30%. Moreover, the number of packages with quantity less than the nominal was reduced to zero. In general, the developed method can be applied when the coefficients variation is high and the counting procedure is inaccurate and/or expensive.

description: Hypothesis Ferrihydrite (Fh) nanoparticles are receiving considerable scientific interest due to their large reactive surface areas, crystalline structures, and nanoparticle morphology. They are of great importance in biogeochemical processes and have the ability to sequester hazardous and toxic substances. Here, the working hypothesis was to entrap fractal-like Fh nanoparticles, with a radius of gyration of 6.2 nm and a primary building block of polydisperse spheres with a radius of 0.8 nm, in a shear-induced multilamellar vesicle (MLV) state using a 40 wt.% polyethylene glycol dodecyl ether surfactant. Experiments Small- and Wide- Angle X-ray scattering revealed the equilibrium state of the non-ionic planar lamellar phase, the Fh dispersion, and their mixture. The MLV state was induced by using a shear flow in a Taylor-Couette geometry of a rheometer. Findings The nonionic surfactant initially exhibited a lamellar gel phase with two distinct d-spacings of 11.0 and 9.7 nm, which collapsed into the MLV state under shear flow. The Fh nanoparticles induced bilayer attraction by suppressing lamellar layer undulations, decreasing the d-spacing. These results are helpful in the understanding of the relationship between nanoparticle size and nanoparticle-bilayers interactions and provides insight on Fh encapsulations in a kinetically stable MLVs state.

description: We present Contextual Discourse Vectors (CDV), a distributed document representation for efficient answer retrieval from long healthcare documents. Our approach is based on structured query tuples of entities and aspects from free text and medical taxonomies. Our model leverages a dual encoder architecture with hierarchical LSTM layers and multi-task training to encode the position of clinical entities and aspects alongside the document discourse. We use our continuous representations to resolve queries with short latency using approximate nearest neighbor search on sentence level. We apply the CDV model for retrieving coherent answer passages from nine English public health resources from the Web, addressing both patients and medical professionals. Because there is no end-to-end training data available for all application scenarios, we train our model with self-supervised data from Wikipedia. We show that our generalized model significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines for healthcare passage ranking and is able to adapt to heterogeneous domains without additional fine-tuning.

description: [abr] We report the analysis of three galaxies selected in the Hubble Deep Field South at Ks<22 on the basis of their unusually red near-IR color J-K>3. We have used population synthesis models to constrain their redshifts and their stellar masses. One galaxy is at redshift z_p~2.4 while the other two are at z_p~2.9-3.0. All three galaxies have already assembled a stellar mass of about 10^{11} M_sun at the observed redshift placing the possible merging event of their formation at z>3.5. The inferred mass weighted age of their stellar populations implies that the bulk of the stars formed at z_f>3.5. The resulting co-moving density of M_{stars}>10^{11} M_sun galaxies at ~2.7 is rho=1.2(+-0.7)x10^{-4} Mpc^{-3}, about a factor two higher than the predictions of hierarchical models. The comparison with the local density of galaxies implies that the three galaxies must have already formed most of their stellar mass and that they cannot follow an evolution significantly different from a passive aging.The comparison with the density of local L>L* early types (passively evolved galaxies) suggests that their co-moving density cannot decrease by more than a factor 2.5-3 from z=0 to z~3 and that up to 40% of the stellar mass content of bright (L>L*) local early type galaxies was already in place at z>2.5.

description: We investigate experimentally and theoretically the nonlinear propagation of 87Rb Bose Einstein condensates in a trap with cylindrical symmetry. An additional weak periodic potential which encloses an angle with the symmetry axis of the waveguide is applied. The observed complex wave packet dynamics results from the coupling of transverse and longitudinal motion. We show that the experimental observations can be understood applying the concept of effective mass, which also allows to model numerically the three dimensional problem with a one dimensional equation. Within this framework the observed slowly spreading wave packets are a consequence of the continuous change of dispersion. The observed splitting of wave packets is very well described by the developed model and results from the nonlinear effect of transient solitonic propagation.

Kritische Bemerkungen zur Bestimmung der pleistozänen Inlandeismächtigkeit mit Hilfe von Drucksetzungsmessungen
Creators: name: Viete, Günter
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media

description: Die bisher vorliegenden Angaben über die pleistozänen Inlandeismächtigkeiten differieren untereinander sehr stark (Tab.). Sie beruhen fast ausschließlich auf mehr oder weniger groben Abschätzungen und Vergleichen mit den rezenten Inlandeisgebieten. Es erscheint grundsätzlich möglich, zu genaueren Werten über die ehemaligen maximalen Eismächtigkeiten zu kommen, indem man mittels bodenmechanischer Messungen die durch die Eisbelastung in veränderlich - festen Lockergesteinen erfolgten Gefügeänderungen, d. h. die sogen. maximale Vorbelastung des Sedimentes bestimmt. Es werden die Ergebnisse von einigen an der interglazialen Kieselgur von Klieken bei Coswig, an glazigen gestörten und ungestörten Bändertonen von Niemegk (Fläming) und Sternberg (Mecklenburg), sowie versuchsweise an der Schreibkreide Rügens durchgeführten Messungen mitgeteilt und ihre geologische bzw. glaziologische Deutung diskutiert. Dabei ergeben sich durch die erforderlichen Annahmen über das Raumgewicht des z. T. verschütteten Eises und die Art und Mächtigkeit der zwischen Probeschicht und Eissohle liegenden Ablagerungen sowie durch die Schubbeanspruchung des Untergrundes seitens des sich bewegenden Eises einige z. T. erhebliche Fehlerquellen. Eine grundsätzliche Schwierigkeit stellt außerdem die Möglichkeit nachträglicher Gefügeänderungen, vor allem durch die kaltzeitliche Bodengefrornis, dar. Man wird daher auch durch derartige bodenphysikalische Untersuchungen nur in seltenen Einzelfällen zu genaueren Angaben über die pleistozänen Eismächtigkeiten kommen. Das zeigen auch die an mehreren Braunkohlenvorkommen Mitteldeutschlands durchgeführten Messungen der maximalen Vorbelastung (Tab.), von denen einige Ergebnisse zitiert werden.

In this article we would like to present the current state of the Converse Theorem and outline the method one uses to apply the Converse Theorem to obtain liftings. We will then turn to an exposition of the new liftings and some of their applications.
title: Revalorisation: what experiences, resources and supports contribute to successful social reinclusion and a return to valued social status for people with severe and enduring mental illness
Creators: name: Davis, Fabian Alexander
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Background: Social Role Valorisation (SRV) is a social science meta-theory about social devaluation. its innovative technologies are designed to promote valorisation (normalisation). SRV had a major impact on learning disability services in the 1980's but has had limited exposure in mental health. Its effect on policy is evident however.

 SRV has developed reliable, valid ecological assessments of normalisation in service enviromnents. Life-style Planning operationalises normalisation goals for individuals. Its reliability and validity are unknown. Life-style Planning has two goal domains designed to ensure universal basic needs are met and address unique individual needs arising from primary disabilities. SRV also identifies revalorisation needs, to compensate for prior devaluation. In a previous study an instrument designed to assess universal basic and unique individual needs was standardised on a representative population of people with severe and enduring mental illness.

 Aims: To validate the goal domains of the assessment instrument and develop an understanding of the user perspective on SRV and revalorisation.

 Design and participants: Factor analysis was used to explore the underlying structure of the assessment instrument. In a second, qualitative study, "expert" mental health user/survivors were interviewed and their transcripts analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.

 Results: The instrument's factor structure matched its design intentions and supported the validity of its goal domains. The qualitative results compared favourably with similar studies from the user, empowerment and recovery literatures. Participants painted a graphic picture of devaluation and revalorisation and illuminated what is required to promote "psychological revalorisation"'. This took the form of a return from a false identification of themselves, based on the internalisation of ignorance and social prejudice stemming from societal fear and blame, to a new identification with a class of proud and empowered mentally ill people.

 Implications: The discussion considers revalorising adaptations to psychological therapies for people with significant devaluation histories.

description: Using a periodic electron beam bunch train to resonantly excite plasma wakefields in the quasi-nonlinear (QNL) regime has distinct advantages over employing a single, higher charge bunch. Resonant excitation in the QNL regime can produce plasma electron blowout using very low emittance beams with a small charge per pulse: the local density perturbation is extremely nonlinear, achieving total rarefaction, yet the resonant response of the plasma electrons at the plasma frequency is preserved. Such a pulse train, with inter-bunch spacing equal to the plasma period, can be produced via inverse free-electron laser bunching. To achieve resonance with a laser wavelength of a few microns, a high plasma density is used, with the attendant possibility of obtaining extremely large wakefield amplitude, near 1 TV/m for FACET-II parameters. In this article, we use particle-in-cell simulations to study the plasma response, the beam modulation evolution, and the instabilities encountered, that arise when using a bunching scheme to resonantly excite waves in a dense plasma.

title: Fathers' expectations and experiences of childbirth: implications for postnatal adjustment
Creators: name: Dalton, Louise
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Objectives: This study aimed to explore the experiences of a group of first time fathers during the transition to parenthood, and identify factors which predict paternal adjustment postpartum. The transactional model of stress and coping (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984) was used as a framework to investigate the relationships between mood, coping strategies, social support, expectations and experiences of childbirth antepartum and six weeks after the birth. Design: This was a prospective, postal questionnaire study. Methods: Thirty five prospective fathers and their partners were recruited through parent education classes; data are reported for 26 of these. Fathers completed questionnaires during the third trimester of pregnancy, immediately following the birth and six weeks postpartum. Mothers' postnatal depression scores were obtained directly from health visitors. Adaptation to parenthood was considered in terms of reported paternal anxiety, depression and parenting stress. Results: The study found evidence of clinically significant levels of anxiety antepartum, which decreased following the birth. Fathers reported their experience of childbirth to be more positive than they had expected, and this was largely independent of obstetric variables. Preliminary evidence suggests problem-focused coping strategies were associated with more negative experiences of childbirth. Adaptation to parenthood was best predicted by antenatal mood. Conclusions: The implications of maladaptive and adaptive coping strategies for antenatal interventions are discussed and directions for future research outlined. Longer term follow up is required to explore the observed association between parenting stress, obstetric variables and experiences of childbirth.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) requires a new processing paradigm that inherits the scalability of the cloud while minimizing network latency using resources closer to the network edge. Building up such flexibility within the edge-to-cloud continuum consisting of a distributed networked ecosystem of heterogeneous computing resources is challenging. Furthermore, IoT traffic dynamics and the rising demand for low-latency services foster the need for minimizing the response time and balanced service placement. Load-balancing for fog computing becomes a cornerstone for cost-effective system management and operations. This paper studies two optimization objectives and formulates a decentralized load-balancing problem for IoT service placement: (global) IoT workload balance and (local) quality of service (QoS), in terms of minimizing the cost of deadline violation, service deployment, and unhosted services. The proposed solution, EPOS Fog, introduces a decentralized multi-agent system for collective learning that utilizes edge-to-cloud nodes to jointly balance the input workload across the network and minimize the costs involved in service execution. The agents locally generate possible assignments of requests to resources and then cooperatively select an assignment such that their combination maximizes edge utilization while minimizes service execution cost. Extensive experimental evaluation with realistic Google cluster workloads on various networks demonstrates the superior performance of EPOS Fog in terms of workload balance and QoS, compared to approaches such as First Fit and exclusively Cloud-based. The results confirm that EPOS Fog reduces service execution delay up to 25% and the load-balance of network nodes up to 90%. The findings also demonstrate how distributed computational resources on the edge can be utilized more cost-effectively by harvesting collective intelligence.

title: Evaluation of the impact of a hospice at home service on place of death
Creators: name: Grande, Gunn Eli
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: Fewer patients are able to die at home than would wish to do so. A literature review showed that palliative home care patients are more likely to die at home than others. However, findings may be due to case mix differences, as variables which are positively associated with home death, are also positively associated with access to palliative home care. The thesis investigated the impact of a hospice at home (HAH) service on place of death. An observational, case control study compared 121 patients referred to HAH with 206 patients not referred. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HAH care was strongly positively associated with home death. However, case mix effects could not be discounted. A randomised controlled trial (RCD compared 186 patients allocated to HAH care with 43 controls. Analysis was intention to treat. Intervention patients were not significantly more likely to die at home than control patients (67% versus 58%). The RCT suffered loss of power and dilution of the treatment effect. Post hoc multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a positive association between actual HAH input and home death. However, this association was no stronger than that between less intensive home care services and home death. Concerns about case mix effects remained. Content analysis of professional and family carers' explanations of endstage inpatient admissions for RCT patients suggested such admissions were mainly perceived to result from factors unrelated to insufficient home care. While some patients may have benefited from added home support, this may not have affected place of death. Additional home care introduced on top of good existing provision, among patients who are already likely to die at home, may have little impact on home deaths. Careful consideration of service aims, target group, other health service context is required before introduction of further hospice at home services.

description: Aus festländischen und marinen Daten wird gefolgert, daß die Glazialzeiten des mittleren und oberen Pleistozäns zeitlich von gleicher Größenordnung waren. Die Temperaturen der einzelnen Eiszeiten waren nicht genau gleich: jede jüngere Eiszeit war ein wenig kälter als die vorhergehende; das gleiche gilt für die Interglaziale. Mit allen bekannten Daten wird eine generalisierte Paläotemperatur-Kurve konstruiert, welche den Trend der Temperatur-Entwicklung vom Mindel bis heute (ca. 400 000 Jahre) zeigt.

description: A series of various readily water soluble esters were synthesized by a very efficient procedure. These compounds can be useful as thermosensitive tracers for studying the cooling progress in a low enthalpy georeservoir exploitable by double flash geothermal power plant systems. The kinetics of their hydrolysis was investigated. Acylation of primary alcohols or phenols was carried out by a method based on a single-phase solvent system consisting of ethyl acetate acting as an organic solvent and triethylamine acting as a catalyst. Products were characterized by 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR.

description: This work studies properties of the conditional mean estimator in vector Poisson noise. The main emphasis is to study conditions on prior distributions that induce linearity of the conditional mean estimator. The paper consists of two main results. The first result shows that the only distribution that induces the linearity of the conditional mean estimator is a product gamma distribution. Moreover, it is shown that the conditional mean estimator cannot be linear when the dark current parameter of the Poisson noise is non-zero. The second result produces a quantitative refinement of the first result. Specifically, it is shown that if the conditional mean estimator is close to linear in a mean squared error sense, then the prior distribution must be close to a product gamma distribution in terms of their characteristic functions. Finally, the results are compared to their Gaussian counterparts.

description: Quintessence issues can be achieved by taking into account higher order curvature invariants into the effective action of gravitational field. Such an approach is naturally related to fundamental theories of quantum gravity which predict higher order terms in loop expansion of quantum fields in curved space-times. In this framework, we obtain a class of cosmological solutions which are fitted against cosmological data. We reproduce encouraging results able to fit high redshift supernovae and WMAP observations. The age of the universe and other cosmological parameters are discussed in this context.

description: An H$_2$ emission filament is found in close proximity to the unique object KH 15D using the adaptive optics system of the Subaru Telescope. The morphology of the filament, the presence of spectroscopic outflow signatures observed by Hamilton et al., and the detection of extended H$_2$ emission from KH 15D by Deming, Charbonneau, & Harrington suggest that this filament arises from shocked H$_2$ in an outflow. The filament extends about 15" to the north of KH 15D.

Data-driven Sensor Deployment for Spatiotemporal Field Reconstruction

description: This paper concerns the data-driven sensor deployment problem in large spatiotemporal fields. Traditionally, sensor deployment strategies have been heavily dependent on model-based planning approaches. However, model-based approaches do not typically maximize the information gain in the field, which tends to generate less effective sampling locations and lead to high reconstruction error. In the present paper, a data-driven approach is developed to overcome the drawbacks of the model-based approach and improve the spatiotemporal field reconstruction accuracy. The proposed method can select the most informative sampling locations to represent the entire spatiotemporal field. To this end, the proposed method decomposes the spatiotemporal field using principal component analysis (PCA) and finds the top r essential entities of the principal basis. The corresponding sampling locations of the selected entities are regarded as the sensor deployment locations. The observations collected at the selected sensor deployment locations can then be used to reconstruct the spatiotemporal field, accurately. Results are demonstrated using a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sea surface temperature dataset. In the present study, the proposed method achieved the lowest reconstruction error among all methods.

description: We present results of our HST Cycle 11 Survey for low-redshift (z<1.65) DLAs in the UV spectra of quasars selected from the SDSS Early Data Release. These quasars have strong intervening MgII-FeII systems which are known signatures of high column density neutral gas. In total, UV observations of Ly-alpha absorption in 197 MgII systems with z<1.65 and rest equivalent width (REW) W2796 \ge 0.3A have now been obtained. The main results are: (1) 36(+/- 6)% of systems with W2796 \ge 0.5 A and FeII W2600 \ge 0.5 A are DLAs. This increases to 42(+/- 7)% for systems with W2796/W2600 < 2 and MgI W2852 > 0.1 A. (2) The mean N(HI) of MgII systems with 0.3 A \le W2796 < 0.6 A is a factor of ~36 lower than that of systems with W2796 \ge 0.6 A. (3) The DLA incidence per unit redshift is consistent with no evolution for z ~ 2. (4) Omega_{DLA} is constant for 0.5

description: While components of the pathway that establishes left-right asymmetry have been identified in diverse animals, from vertebrates to flies, it is striking that the genes involved in the first symmetry-breaking step remain wholly unknown in the most obviously chiral animals, the gastropod snails. Previously, research on snails was used to show that left-right signaling of Nodal, downstream of symmetry breaking, may be an ancestral feature of the Bilateria [1, 2]. Here, we report that a disabling mutation in one copy of a tandemly duplicated, diaphanousrelated formin is perfectly associated with symmetry breaking in the pond snail. This is supported by the observation that an anti-formin drug treatment converts dextral snail embryos to a sinistral phenocopy, and in frogs, drug inhibition or overexpression by microinjection of formin has a chirality-randomizing effect in early (pre-cilia) embryos. Contrary to expectations based on existingmodels [3–5],wediscovered asymmetric gene expression in 2- and 4-cell snail embryos, preceding morphological asymmetry. As the formin-actin filament has been shown to be part of an asymmetry-breaking switch in vitro [6, 7], together these results are consistent with the view that animals with diverse body plans may derive their asymmetries from the same intracellular chiral elements [8].

description: Soils act as sources and sinks for greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Since both storage and emission capacities may be large, precise quantifications are needed to obtain reliable global budgets that are necessary for land-use management (agriculture, forestry), global change and for climate research. This paper discusses exclusively the soil emissionrelated processes and their influencing parameters. It reviews soil emission studies involving the most important land-cover types and climate zones and introduces important measuring systems for soil emissions. It addresses current shortcomings and the obvious bias towards northern hemispheric data. When using a conservative average of 300 mg CO2e m−2 h−1 (based on our literature review), this leads to global annual net soil emissions of ≥350 Pg CO2e (CO2e = CO2 equivalents = total effect of all GHG normalized to CO2). This corresponds to roughly 21% of the global soil C and N pools. For comparison, 33.4 Pg CO2 are being emitted annually by fossil fuel combustion and the cement industry.

description: Let $Γ$ be a discrete group acting properly discontinuously and isometrically on the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space $\mathrm{AdS}^{3}$, and $\square$ the Laplacian which is a second-order hyperbolic differential operator. We study linear independence of a family of generalized Poincaré series introduced by Kassel-Kobayashi [Adv. Math. 287 (2016), 123-236, arXiv:1209.4075], which are defined by the $Γ$-average of certain eigenfunctions on $\mathrm{AdS}^{3}$. We prove that the multiplicities of $L^{2}$-eigenvalues of the hyperbolic Laplacian $\square$ on $Γ\backslash\mathrm{AdS}^{3}$ are unbounded when $Γ$ is finitely generated. Moreover, we prove that the multiplicities of stable $L^{2}$-eigenvalues for compact anti-de Sitter 3-manifolds are unbounded.
