title: The effects of restructuring on primary teachers' work : a sociological analysis
Creators: name: Troman, Arthur Geoffrey
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: Whatever the exact form the restructuring of education systems takes, it means a fundamental re-definition of the work of teaching. In the restructuring process not only does the nature of work change but also school organisation and teacher culture. This study seeks to understand the teachers' experience of work in the restructured school. Restructuring is considered at three levels: 1) a cross-national and educational system macro-level; 2) a school organisation meso-level; and 3) an interpersonal and personal micro-level. The prime orientation is to explore ~he impact of a range of restructuring policies in these various sites and to describe and analyse the changes which have taken place in teachers' work. This is done through the use of qualitative data which are derived from original ethnographic research in a primary school. The aim here, using an interpretive approach, is to understand the effects of restructuring through the experiences and perspectives of the headteacher and teachers and to discover the meanings which they hold for the changes. These, it is argued, are of significance for the teachers' sense of self and their experience of roles. The social processes attending the restructuring of teachers' work are viewed through three analytical frameworks - symbolic interactionist theory, intensification theory and policy trajectory theory. The data generated facilitated the 'grounding' of the policy process and provided a test in new circumstances for the intensification thesis. The study concludes that the implementation of policy did not involve a simple linear and mechanical process. Policy was implemented according to actors' interpretations and motivations and resistance, as much as compliance, was a feature of the teachers' responses. With respect to theories of deprofessionalisation and intensification it was found that while many aspects of the teachers' work were contributing to intensification, the experience of intensified work was, in some cases, resulting in the teachers experiencing enhanced professionalism rather than becoming deprofessionalised.

description: Transition to Zero Energy Buildings requires on-site energy generation from renewable energy sources in order to offset the energy usage for building operation. Solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic panels are the most common building integrated renewable technologies and are used in order to reduce CO2 emissions and dependence on imported energy. A combined use of the later, designed according to the building energy demand can potentially maximize the benefits of solar energy and enhance the environmental and financial building performance. SEMERGY is an innovative performance-based optimization environment for building design and currently lacks of a tool for modeling of photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. Therefore the system is restricted to supporting decisions on energy efficiency measures, while energy generation solutions are not considered. The scope of this work is to address this problematic by defining the design problem of a solar system component and further by providing a description of what is to be built and how it is expected to be built in order to allow for software development to proceed with the implementation. Two main issues are addressed, design optimization and seamless integration into a building design system (SEMERGY). This research determines the exact problem and its parameters, and investigates existing tools for active solar design in order to explore whether and how they answer the specific design problem. Further, it develops the design specifications in accordance with user requirements, defines the system architecture and the detailed computer system models, and executes test cases in order to test how the tool responds to the design specifications. Finally, the interaction with SEMERGY environment is analyzed and the necessary extensions to SEMERGY Building Model (SBM) are reported. The design tool points to design solutions that achieve an optimum exploitation of the available area of the building envelope. Optimization is evaluated against preset design criteria for maximizing CO2 reduction gains and financial performance. As a result, the implementation of the solar system component enhances the optimization function of SEMERGY, since it allows the user to be able to design buildings with more specific requirements.

description: We examine analytical, intrinsically non-Abelian, black holes with SU(2) Yang-Mills matter content. Working in the extended thermodynamics scenario of Lovelock black holes we study the phase structure of a four and a five-dimensional spherically symmetric configuration. We work in Gauss-Bonnet-Einstein-Yang-Mills gravity with negative cosmological constant and use Euclidean methods to explore the thermodynamics of the systems. We observe that the solutions belong to the expected universality class of van der Waals and find a reentrant phase transition.

title: Controlled trapping and detection of magnetic microparticles
Creators: name: Stipsitz, Martin
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: GMR sensor
subject: magnetic microparticles

description: In this thesis a microfluidic device for manipulating and detecting magnetic particles (MPs) suspended in a microfluidic channel is presented. Current carrying conductors are used, to move the MPs to a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensor, where they are detected. MPs can be functionalised by modifying their surface, to enable them to chemically bind to a biological cell. Thus the device could be integrated in a lab-on-a-chip (LOC), to indirectly detect biological cells. Calculations concerning the magnetic field of the conductors and the magnetic field of the MPs have been performed to determine the optimal position of the GMR sensor and estimate the output voltage of the system. Two different chip designs have been fabricated. One with a small GMR sensor to detect single MPs and another one, which attracts MPs from a wide area to a bigger GMR sensor, to detect low concentrations of MPs. Several experiments, in which different MPs have been successfully detected, have been conducted as a proof of concept.

description: An experimental realization of the entanglement-assisted "Guess my number" protocol for the reduction of communication complexity, introduced by Steane and van Dam, would require producing and detecting three-qubit GHZ states with an efficiency eta > 0.70, which would require single photon detectors of efficiency sigma > 0.89. We propose a modification of the protocol which can be translated into a real experiment using present-day technology. In the proposed experiment, the quantum reduction of the multi-party communication complexity would require an efficiency eta > 0.05, achievable with detectors of sigma > 0.47, for four parties, and eta > 0.17 (sigma > 0.55) for three parties.

Creators: name: Masterton, Simon J.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: This thesis presents a study of a novel approach for supporting students in text based electronic conferencing. It describes the development of a concept known as the Virtual Participant. An initial prototype was developed which was tested on the Open University Business School MBA course on Creative Management. The Virtual Participant first presented itself to the users as Uncle Bulgaria. a metaphor for collecting and recycling important information. The Virtual Participant approach is to store the discussions students have had in previous years that the course has run. and to retrieve those discussions at a time most appropriate to helping the students studying this year. It was never intended to provide 'the answer' but rather examples of similar discussions on similar topics. Uncle Bulgaria interacted with the students over a period of 16 weeks. during which time the students prepared two assignments and completed the first half of the course. The information gained from the students' interactions with the system and their feedback to a questionnaire survey was then fed back into a second prototype' which was again tested on the same course. In the second study the system was known to the students as the Active Archive. an active component of an archive of past student discussions. Through cross year comparisons it was possible to evaluate the improvements made between the Active Archive and Uncle Bulgaria systems. The Active Archive interacted with the students on a much larger scale than Uncle Bulgaria had. but with no increased negative impact. The second study provided examples where the Active Archive stimulated discussion amongst the students and vicarious learning could be said to have taken place. Taking the lessons learned from these two studies a number of guidelines for the development of such systems have been produced and are described and discussed.
title: NMR investigations of ionic host polymer systems
Creators: name: Williams, Martin Alexander Keith
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1994

description: NMR studies of the archetypal ionic host polymer system, in which polyethylene oxide (PEO) forms the polymer host, and lithium trifluoromethanesulphonate (LiCF3S03) is the guest ionic salt, are reported. The work is primarily concerned with the ability of the polymer host to incorporate the guest salt within its structure. Studies of pure PE~, LiCF3S03 itself, and ionic host polymer systems of O:Li ratios of 3.5: 1 and 9: 1 are reported in detail. A key experimental approach is the use of spin-lattice relaxation time measurements (I H, 7Li and 19F) to act as a probe of structure and dynamics. 19F spin-lattice relaxation time investigations in LiCF3S03 and PEO/LiCF3S03 systems are interpreted in terms of a mechanism in which the hindered reorientation of CF3 groups plays a key role. Crosscorrelations are shown to be responsible for non-exponentiality in nuclear magnetization recoveries. The problem of defining and measuring spinlattice relaxation times in these circumstances is considered in some detail. In the ionic host polymer systems an additional spin-lattice relaxation mechanism is that due to 19F_I H cross-relaxation. A model is developed to simulate the key features that can be observed experimentally for this type of mechanism. 7Li spin-lattice relaxation time studies in LiCF3S03 and PEOILiCF3S03 systems are also reported. In the salt a heteronuclear dipolar coupled 7Li_19F spin-lattice relaxation mechanism is shown to be dominant. T,he predicted relaxation behaviour is calculated in detail from a proposed crystal structure. I H lineshape and spin-lattice relaxation time measurements are reported in PEO and PEOILiCF3S03 systems. Overall, no evidence is found for the existence of the CF3S03- anion in the amorphous phase of the PEO/LiCF3 SO 3 systems studied. Hindered reorientation of the CF3 group also occurs in these systems, with a similar activation energy to that found in the salt itself. However, there is evidence that the 7Li+ cation can move between crystalline and amorphous regions.

We reexpress all prior results in terms of proper time, using the fluctuation amplitude $Φ$ without approximation, and derive a compact formula for the squared effective Hubble parameter. This formula involves effective dark energy and matter densities that differ from their expressions in the standard $ΛCDM$ cosmology. We also give new analytic results for the function $ Φ$ and discuss their implications.

title: Implementation methods of Lean Management with practical exercises in automotive factory
Creators: name: Zimerman, Norbert
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2014

description: Page 7 Abstract The fastest and most effective way of training employees in the method of lean production is to create your own image from the experience obtained during the training. In the current turbulent times it is not possible for a worker to participate in the implementation of lean manufacturing to obtain a perfect practical knowledge and on the other hand, only a theoretical training without practical implementation is often not effective. Therefore, a combination of theoretical knowledge of lean methods with a practical training using simulation games on created model situations came into existence. Based on practical simulation exercises a lean game training (also called as an experiential method) results in a better learning of theoretical knowledge. The aim of this Master's Thesis is to propose and create simulation exercises i.e. lean game trainings for selected methods of lean manufacturing in automotive companies; to examine the effectiveness of trainings and lean methods and implement them into practice by training employees using lean games. In the theoretical part, selected methods of lean production and lean administration are described. Forms of learning within the enterprise and training methods for employees by implementing Lean Management and Lean tools are also pointed out. The practical part of this Master's Thesis is focused on finding the current status of Lean tools used in the selected company, to find out the knowledge level of employees about Lean tools and Lean Management. Based on the current state, a methodically specific training plan for employees using simulation lean games have been created. In the practical part, simulation lean games suitable for a particular type of production within the enterprise have been also created. Created lean simulation games help employees to learn the practices and methodology of Lean tools in a short time, as well as their use by implementation in the processes. These simulation games can be helpful for all similar production companies or suppliers who want to implement and maintain lean manufacturing processes in the company.

Quantum postulate vs. quantum nonlocality: Is Devil in h?
Creators: name: Khrennikov, Andrei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This note is a part of my efforts for getting rid of nonlocality from quantum mechanics (QM). Quantum nonlocality is two faced Janus, one face is Lüders projection nonlocality, another face is Bell nonlocality. This paper is devoted to disillusion of the latter. The main casualty of Bell's model with hidden variables is that it straightforwardly contradicts to the Heinsenberg's uncertainty and generally Bohr's complementarity principles. Thus, we do not criticize the derivation or interpretation of the Bell inequality (as was done by numerous authors). Our critique is directed against the model as it is. The original Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) argument was based on the Heinseberg's principle, but EPR did not question it. Hence, the arguments of EPR and Bell differ crucially. It is worth to find the physical seed of the aforementioned principles. This is the {\it quantum postulate}: the existence of indivisible quantum of action. Bell's approach with hidden variable straightforwardly implies rejection of the quantum postulate. Heisenberg compared the quantum postulate with constancy of light's velocity in special relativity. Thus attempts to explain long distance correlations within the Bell model can be compared with attempts to construct models violating the laws of relativity theory. Following Zeilinger, I search for the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics (QM) similar to the principles of relativity and consider the quantum action and complementarity principles as such principles.

title: Automating managers : The implications of information technology for managers in five manufacturing companies
Creators: name: Moss-Jones, John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: Managers are universally regarded as key to the fortunes of organizations, yet there has been little focus on the effects of information technology (I.T.) on this group. In this research, the implications of I.T. for the work and roles of managers were studied, permanently in office settings, in five manufacturing companies in the Northern Home Counties. The cases provided a wide range of both organizational cultures and I.T. use. Data were obtained largely through 101 semistructured interviews with managers in various hierarchical and functional positions. Supporting material came from questionnaires and documents. and through informal observation on the 49 visits to companies. I.T. consists of several interwoven and rapidly developing computing and communications technologies, and is interacting with the extremely varied environments found in the companies. There is no revolution. Rather I.T. use is growing from its precursors - telex, punched-card machines and earlier computers, and is conditioned powerfully by existing cultures. Gradually, however, the inherent character of the technology is changing practices in general, and management work in particular, in radical ways. The fundamental nature of managers' work is little altered by I.T. It remains fragmented; weakly defined; oral; action orientated. Increased productivity and reduced numbers of staff are consequences of I.T., and these, together with the increase in conceptual and systems skills amongst the work-force, are reducing the hierarchical-authority model of people management, and creating a more "professional-team" culture. The increasing effectiveness of information management that I.T. confers is producing other major consequences for managers. Information management is becoming a central component of their work. Overall, managers are having to adapt to increasingly technological systematised environments, with smaller, more skilled staff teams. The transitions for managers are difficult. especially as companies have given slight attention to preparing managers for these changes, or indeed to management development in general.

description: Concatenated coding provides a general strategy to achieve the desired level of noise protection in quantum information storage and transmission. We report the implementation of a concatenated quantum error-correcting code able to correct against phase errors with a strong correlated component. The experiment was performed using liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance techniques on a four spin subsystem of labeled crotonic acid. Our results show that concatenation between active and passive quantum error-correcting codes offers a practical tool to handle realistic noise contributed by both independent and correlated errors.

title: Intelligent support for knitwear design
Creators: name: Eckert, Claudia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: Communication between different members of a design team often poses difficulties. The knitwear design process is shared by the designers, who plan the visual and tactile appearance of the garments, and the technicians, who have to realise the garment on a knitting machine and assemble it. This thesis reports a detailed empirical study of over' twenty companies in Britain and Germany, which shows that the communication problem constitutes a major bottleneck. Designers specify their designs inaccurately, incompletely and inconsistently; the technicians interpret these specifications according to their previous experience of similar designs, and produce garments very different from the designers' original intention. Knitwear is inherently difficult to describe, as no simple and complete notation exists for knitted structures; and the relationship between visual appearance and structure and technical properties of knitted fabric is subtle and complex. At the same time the interaction between designers and technicians is badly managed in many companies. This thesis argues that this communication bottleneck can be overcome by enabling designers to produce accurate specifications of technically correct designs, through the help. of an intelligent computer support system that corrects inconsistent input and proposes design suggestions that the user can edit. In this thesis this proposal is elaborated for one aspect of knitwear design: garment shape construction. Garment shapes are modelled using Bezier curves generated using design heuristics drawn from industrial practice, to create curves that look right to a designer and can be easily edited. The development of the garment shape models presented in this thesis involved the solution of unusual problems in numerical analysis. The thesis shows how the mathematical models can be integrated into an intelligent CAD system, and discusses die benefits of such a system could have for the design process.

description: Strong zero modes provide a paradigm for quantum many-body systems to encode local degrees of freedom that remain coherent far from the ground state. Example systems include $\mathbb{Z}_n$ chiral quantum clock models with strong zero modes related to $\mathbb{Z}_n$ parafermions. Here we show how these models and their zero modes arise from geometric chirality in fermionic Mott insulators, focusing on $n=3$ where the Mott insulators are three-leg ladders. We link such ladders to $\mathbb{Z}_3$ chiral clock models by combining bosonization with general symmetry considerations. We also introduce a concrete lattice model which we show to map to the $\mathbb{Z}_3$ chiral clock model, perturbed by the Uimin-Lai-Sutherland Hamiltonian arising via superexchange. We demonstrate the presence of strong zero modes in this perturbed model by showing that correlators of clock operators at the edge remain close to their initial value for times exponentially long in the system size, even at infinite temperature.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit gibt einen Überblick über den Einfluss von psychosozialen Risikofaktoren auf mathematische Lernschwierigkeiten. Im Rahmen eines systematischen Reviews wurden verschiedene Studien, die diese Thematik erforschten, identifiziert und auf die Fragestellung hin untersucht, inwiefern psychosoziale Risikofaktoren für Kinder eine Gefahr darstellen, eine Rechenschwäche zu entwickeln. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass Kinder, die von Armut betroffen oder gefährdet sind sowie in Einelternhaushalten oder bildungsferneren Elternhäusern leben, ein grösseres Risiko tragen, eine Rechenschwäche zu entwickeln. Die Erkenntnis, dass die soziale Herkunft auch heute noch auf die Entwicklung und Bildung von Kindern Einfluss nimmt, sollte zum Handeln alarmieren, da in Schweiz besonders Kinder von Armut und weiteren psychosozialen Risikofaktoren betroffen sind.
WHIM emission and the cluster soft excess: a model comparison

description: The confirmation of the cluster soft excess (CSE) by XMM-Newton has rekindled interest as to its origin. The recent detections of CSE emission at large cluster radii together with reports of OVII line emission associated with the CSE has led many authors to conjecture that the CSE is, in fact, a signature of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). In this paper we test the scenario by comparing the observed properties of the CSE with predictions based on models of the WHIM. We find that emission from the WHIM in current models is 3 to 4 orders of magnitude too faint to explain the CSE. We discuss different possibilities for this discrepancy including issues of simulation resolution and scale, and the role of small density enhancements or galaxy groups. Our final conclusion is that the WHIM alone is unlikely to be able to accout for the observed flux of the CSE.

description: In this article we discuss a scheme of teleportation of atomic states. The experimental realization proposed makes use of cavity Quatum Electrodynamics involving the interaction of Rydberg atoms with a micromaser cavity prepared in a coherent state. We start presenting a scheme to prepare atomic Bell states via the interaction of atoms with a cavity. In our scheme the cavity and some atoms play the role of auxiliary systems used to achieve the teleportation.

title: Integrated geophysical studies at Masaya volcano, Nicaragua
Creators: name: Williams-Jones, Glyn
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Research into the mechanisms responsible for the lasting, cyclic activity at Masaya volcano can lead to a better understanding of persistently degassing volcanoes. This study is greatly enhanced by the integration of dynamic micro-gravity, deformation and gas flux measurements. The acquisition of extended temporal and spatial geophysical data will also allow for the development of robust models for the dynamics of magmatic systems. Masaya volcano, Nicaragua, is one of the most active systems in Central America, making it an excellent natural laboratory for this study. It is noted for repeated episodes of lava lake formation, strong degassing and subsequent quiescence.

Ground-based geophysical measurements show two episodes of similar magnitude gravity decreases in 1993-1994 and 1997-1999, separated by a period of minor gravity increase. A major increase in SO2 gas flux from 1997-1999 correlates well with the most recent episode of gravity decrease. The gravity changes are not accompanied by deformation in the summit areas and are interpreted in terms of sub-surface density changes. The persistent degassing at Masaya suggests that up to ~15 km3 of magma may have degassed over the last 150 years, only a minute fraction of which has been erupted. Furthermore, thermal flux calculations suggest that 0.5 km3 of magma (the estimated volume of the shallow reservoir) would cool from liquidus to just above solidus temperatures in only 5 years. The high rates of degassing and cooling at open-system volcanoes such as Masaya raise questions as to the ultimate fate of this degassed and cooled magma. A number of models have been proposed to explain this, but the most likely mechanism to explain persistent activity at Masaya and other similar volcanoes is convective removal of cooled and degassed magma and subsequent recharge by volatile-rich magma from depth.

Another fundamental question in modem volcanology concerns the manner in which a volcanic eruption is triggered; the intrusion of fresh magma into a reservoir is thought to be a key component. The amount by which previously ponded reservoir magma interacts with a newly intruded magma will determine the nature and rate of eruption as well as the chemistry of erupted lavas and shallow dykes. The physics of this interaction can be investigated through a conventional monitoring procedure that incorporates the Mogi model relating ground deformation (∆h) to changes in volume of a magma reservoir. Gravity changes (∆g)combined with ground deformation provides information on magma reservoir mass changes. Models developed here predict how, during inflation, the observed .1.gI~ gradient will evolve as a volcano develops from a state of dormancy through unrest into a state of explosive activity.
