description: Experiments have been conducted to investigate the vortex dynamics in a deep open cavity driven by pulsatile flows. Physiological flow waveforms have been examined for mean Re ranging from 200 to 1000 and Wo of 10.2, 12.4, and 17.6, with Strouhal numbers (Str, as a function of Re and Wo) ranging from 0.065 to 0.98. Results show that a two-primary-vortex system develops, similar to a steady driven cavity flow, but it exhibits more dynamic behaviors as it evolves during a cycle. Five stages of vortex evolution are defined: generation, traveling, merging, stretching, and weakening. As Re increases, the first three stages occur faster and earlier in a cycle, allowing more time for the top primary vortex to interact with the rear wall and for the bottom vortex to develop. The opposite trend is found as Wo increases. While the flow strength increases with Re, the vortex patterns are more correlated with Str, which is proportional to the Wo square and inversely proportional to Re: vortices are symmetric at low Str, but become more distorted at high Str. A critical Str exists beyond which the bottom vortex would not develop inside the cavity. Results also suggest that an increasing Wo causes a more significant increase in the in-cavity vortex strength and flow unsteadiness compared to an increasing Re. The peak flow unsteadiness inside the cavity occurs at a later phase compared with that of the main flow. The normalized mass flux ratio and the normalized cavity kinetic energy are both linearly proportional to the Strouhal number. I. INTRODUCT

description: The inverse Schulze-Hardy rule was recently proposed based on experimental observations (Cao et al., Langmuir, 2015, 31, 6610-6614). This rule describes an interesting new situation of the aggregation of charged colloidal particles in the presence of the multivalent coions. Specifically, it can be shown that the critical coagulation concentration is inversely proportional to the coion valence. Here the derivation of the inverse Schulze-Hardy rule based on purely theoretical grounds is presented for the first time. This derivation complements the classical Schulze-Hardy rule which describes the multivalent counterion systems.

description: Plastic hinge properties are crucial parameters in predicting the nonlinear response of structural elements. Because of the intricate material nonlinearity, precise determination of the plastic hinge length (PHL) has encountered several obstacles. Over the last few decades, there have been various definitions and models put forth to forecast this length, nevertheless, the outcomes displayed significant disparities. Therefore, the paper introduces a comprehensive method for determining PHL using certain criteria, including rebar strain profiles, concrete cover and core peak strains, curvature profiles, and damage observations. Furthermore, a set of four full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) columns measuring 400 mm × 400mm × 3000mm and featuring varying transverse reinforcement configurations were constructed and subjected to testing under a high axial load ratio (ALR). The tested results implied that it is necessary to separate the PHLs based on different criteria. The high axial compression load led to enhancing the PHLs, which were based on rebar compressive yield strains, curvature profiles, concrete cover and core peak strains. In contrast, it has a minor effect on PHL based on tensile yield strains. In addition, the amount of transverse reinforcement had an insignificant effect on all PHLs for tested columns. Hence, a revised equation was proposed to estimate the equivalent PHLs of rectangular RC columns based on tested results and a 114-column database. The proposed equation had better accuracy compared with some other model results in the literature.

title: Construction work Masculinity in the workplace
Creators: name: Breeze, Simon G
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The decline of manufacturing and the increase in service sector jobs has led to an increase in ‘feminised’ service work and an attendant and notable decline in ‘traditional’ masculine labour. This shift has meant that there are now fewer work spaces in which ‘traditional’ working-class masculinities are valued, constructed and expressed. It has also been argued that due to this shift work is no longer the central source of identity and that other factors such as consumption now take precedence. As a result of the deference and ‘emotion work’ required of employees in many service sector jobs it is hypothesized that work in such areas challenges the construction and maintenance of masculine identities, and hence for men working in these sectors. This research draws on an ethnographic study and series of interviews undertaken in supermarkets where attention was focused on examining the occupational identities of men employed in this sector. It looks at the ways in which male supermarket employees construct and negotiate their masculine identities and examines how this process affects the workplace and interaction between male and female colleagues. Furthermore, this research rejects the ‘end of work’ thesis and argues that work is still central to the formation of British masculine identities. Work tends to be an important reference point in the construction of masculinities and this research argues that this is also true where identity is constructed in opposition to work and as a rejection of the work role. This research maps this process of identity formation and boundary construction, and also captures the shifting relationship between masculinities, the work role and other roles in the private realm. It is in part an attempt to acknowledge the ‘everyday’ and at the same time to see men as more than just workers or economic actors. The research concludes that despite the changes in work and the increased flexibility possible in masculine roles; that ‘traditional’ forms of masculinity are performed and rewarded in this particular service sector. This process, while often unsubtle, is accomplished with relative ease and reinforced during interaction with management and female co-workers.

description: We show that the seesaw mechanism as well as leptogenesis are natural outcomes of a viable chaotic inflation in supergravity. The inflation model contains two superfields, the inflaton and stabilizer fields, which, being singlets under the standard model gauge symmetry, naturally couple to the lepton and Higgs doublets. The inflaton decays into leptons and Higgs fields, and the reheating temperature is predicted to be of O(10^{13}) GeV, for which thermal leptogenesis is possible. On the other hand, gravitinos are copiously produced, and various solutions to the gravitino problem are discussed. We also argue that, if the shift symmetry of the inflaton is explicitly broken down to a discrete one, neutrino Yukawa couplings are periodic in the inflaton field, and masses of leptons and Higgs do not blow up even if the inflaton takes super-Planckian field values. The inflaton potential is given by a sum of sinusoidal functions with different height and periodicity, the so-called multi-natural inflation. We show that the predicted scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio lie in the region favored by the Planck data.

description: Searching for extraterrestrial, transient signals in astronomical data sets is an active area of current research. However, machine learning techniques are lacking in the literature concerning single-pulse detection. This paper presents a new, two-stage approach for identifying and classifying dispersed pulse groups (DPGs) in single-pulse search output. The first stage identified DPGs and extracted features to characterize them using a new peak identification algorithm which tracks sloping tendencies around local maxima in plots of signal-to-noise ratio vs. dispersion measure. The second stage used supervised machine learning to classify DPGs. We created four benchmark data sets: one unbalanced and three balanced versions using three different imbalance treatments.We empirically evaluated 48 classifiers by training and testing binary and multiclass versions of six machine learning algorithms on each of the four benchmark versions. While each classifier had advantages and disadvantages, all classifiers with imbalance treatments had higher recall values than those with unbalanced data, regardless of the machine learning algorithm used. Based on the benchmarking results, we selected a subset of classifiers to classify the full, unlabelled data set of over 1.5 million DPGs identified in 42,405 observations made by the Green Bank Telescope. Overall, the classifiers using a multiclass ensemble tree learner in combination with two oversampling imbalance treatments were the most efficient; they identified additional known pulsars not in the benchmark data set and provided six potential discoveries, with significantly less false positives than the other classifiers.

Zum einen werden in öffentlichen wie in wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken die Bereiche für die Nutzenden umgestaltet und auf neue Formen des Lernens und Arbeitens ausgerichtet. In diesem neuen Gewand gleichen die Nutzerbereiche oft Raumkonzepten aus der freien Wirtschaft, die eingesetzt werden, um agile Arbeitsformate zu unterstützen. Zum anderen werden eben jene agile Arbeitsformate zunehmend auch bibliotheksintern umgesetzt, sei es auf Projektebene oder gar als Managementkonzept für die gesamte Einrichtung. Doch wie sieht es mit der Gestaltung der Räume der Mitarbeitenden in Bibliotheken aus? Sind diese tatsächlich (schon) kompatibel mit den neuen Arbeitsformaten, den angewandten agilen Methoden? Ausgehend von der für die Wirtschaftswelt aufgestellten Hypothese, dass agiles Arbeiten besondere Anforderungen an die Arbeitsumgebung stellt, geht diese Arbeit der Frage nach, welche räumliche Umgebung agile Teams speziell in Bibliotheken benötigen. Nach der Auswertung der relevanten Forschungsliteratur, nähert sich die Arbeit vermittels acht leitfadengestützter Experteninterviews dem Thema empirisch; als methodologisches Rahmenkonzept liegt der Forschungsarbeit die Grounded Theory zugrunde. Die Interviews wurden von August bis September 2021 mit agil arbeitenden Mitarbeitenden aus wissenschaftlichen und öffentlichen Bibliotheken in Deutschland und der Schweiz geführt und anschließend ausgewertet.

description:
Background: There has been a substantial increase in the worldwide use and popularity of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in recent years, especially among youth. However, little is known about the differences in e-cigarette and tobacco-related harm perceptions among U.S. adolescents by smoking status, gender, and age. Therefore, this study sought to assess the prevalence of perceptions of tobacco-related harm among youth by smoking status (e-cigarette users, cigarette users, and non-users), gender, and age. This study also examined the association between the perceptions of peer-related e-cigarette and cigarette use with actual e-cigarette and cigarette use among youth. Method: Analyses were conducted using the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey. The National Youth Tobacco Survey is a nationally representative sample of middle school and high school students in the United States (n=14,531). This survey is also listed as one of the exempt studies for designation of non-human subject research for Georgia State University Research Administration. Data were analyzed using SPSS program version 28. Cross-tabulations and Chi-square tests were used to assess perceptions of harm of e-cigarettes and cigarettes by smoking status, gender, and age. Results: Approximately 45% of non-tobacco users believed that e-cigarettes are harmful, yet only 22% of cigarette and e-cigarette users believed that e-cigarettes are harmful. Additionally, 19% of non-e-cigarette users and 16% of non-cigarette users believed that the vapor from cigarettes is harmful, yet only 9% of the same group believed that the vapor from e-cigarettes is harmful. Moreover, Prevalence of high school students for harm perceptions of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes was consistently lower compared to middle school students. E-cigarette users were more likely to believe that ten out of every ten students in their grade use e-cigarettes (pConclusion: A lower prevalence of e-cigarette and cigarette users endorsed harmful perceptions of e-cigarette and cigarette use compared to non-users. Overall, e-cigarettes were perceived as less harmful compared to cigarettes among youth.

description: In light of a recent reformulation of Bell's theorem from causal principles by Howard Wiseman and the author, I argue that the conflict between quantum theory and relativity brought up by Bell's work can be softened by a revision of our classical notions of causation. I review some recent proposals for a quantum theory of causation that make great strides towards that end, but highlight a property that is shared by all those theories that would not have satisfied Bell's realist inclinations. They require (implicitly or explicitly) agent-centric notions such as "controllables" and "uncontrollables", or "observed" and "unobserved". Thus they relieve the tensions around Bell's theorem by highlighting an issue more often associated with another deep conceptual issue in quantum theory: the measurement problem. Rather than rejecting those terms, however, I argue that we should understand why they seem to be, at least at face-value, needed in order to reach compatibility between quantum theory and relativity. This seems to suggest that causation, and thus causal structure, are emergent phenomena, and lends support to the idea that a resolution of the conflict between quantum theory and relativity necessitates a solution to the measurement problem.

Creators: name: Howells, Calvyn T.
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2015

description: This thesis presents novel materials for photovoltaic conversion. The materials described are solution-processable organic semiconductors and have been used in the fabrication of organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The widely used PEDOT:PSS layer was investigated in P3HT and PTB7 photovoltaics. By doping, the efficiencies recorded were amongst the highest reported in the field using a conventional architecture. Two low band-gap BODIPY-based polymers were introduced and shown to have properties favourable for optoelectronics. Photovoltaics consisting solely of the polymers as the active component surpassed the performance expected without the use of an acceptor, indicating ambipolar behaviour, which was verified by charge carrier mobility measurements. When blended with an acceptor, the devices demonstrated a short-circuit current density similar to that of P3HT, a well-studied and successful OPV material. They also revealed a broad spectral response and were shown to operate as photodiodes. Two small molecules containing diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and BODIPY were introduced and characterised. The addition of thiophenes red shifted the absorption but did not result in a sufficient bathochromic shift. Instead, a propensity to aggregate limited the performance. PLQY measurements showed the aggregation to quench luminescence. The study demonstrated the importance of controlling aggregation for efficient devices. Two solution-processable small molecules with a germanium-bridged spiro centre were investigated, and the molecular, electrochemical and optical properties discussed. The small molecule with shorter conjugation length exhibited an interesting packing motif shown to be favourable for charge transport. The mobility measurements were an order of magnitude higher than those reported for sexithiophene, a small molecule analogue, and the same order of magnitude as P3HT. The two-dimensional charge transporting nature of the material was verified with two independent techniques: time of flight (TOF) and organic field-effect transistor (OFET) measurements. The mobility of the material was found to vary with annealing, a result of morphological changes. These were studied with optical, electron and scanning probe microscopies. By controlling the morphology with the implementation of a well-defined annealing method, it was possible to improve the performance of OFETs and planar-heterojunction OPVs. Solution-processed bulk-heterojunction OPVs were fabricated, characterised and optimised with Ge spiro molecules. A PCE similar to that of P3HT, 2.66 %, was achieved for the one, whilst a PCE of 1.60 % was obtained for the other. The results are encouraging, and there is scope for improvement by increasing the overlap between the absorption and solar spectrum, for example.

description: Understanding the hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system and associated diseases is important for mitigating health risks. We applied flow diagnostic techniques to investigate pulsatile flow characteristics past sidewall cavities, which have implications to two biomedical problems in the cardiovascular system: sidewall aneurysms and the left atrial appendage. Superhydrophobically-coated mesh diverters and synthetic slippery surfaces were studied for their effects on flow diversion and cavity flow enhancements. The study of pulsatile flow over a coated mesh diverter showed that the formation of the primary vortex was prevented which prevents flow stagnation and downwash flow in the cavity. The second study indicates that the healthy heart cycle is essential to reducing flow stasis inside the left atrial appendage. After applying a synthetic slippery surface to the interior of a side wall cavity model, this surface reduced the wall shear stress and allowed vortical flow to reach deeper into the cavity.

description: A novel algorithm for uncalibrated stereo image-pair rectification under the constraint of geometric distortion, called USR-CGD, is presented in this work. Although it is straightforward to define a rectifying transformation (or homography) given the epipolar geometry, many existing algorithms have unwanted geometric distortions as a side effect. To obtain rectified images with reduced geometric distortions while maintaining a small rectification error, we parameterize the homography by considering the influence of various kinds of geometric distortions. Next, we define several geometric measures and incorporate them into a new cost function for parameter optimization. Finally, we propose a constrained adaptive optimization scheme to allow a balanced performance between the rectification error and the geometric error. Extensive experimental results are provided to demonstrate the superb performance of the proposed USR-CGD method, which outperforms existing algorithms by a significant margin.

description: The momentum diffusion coefficient of a heavy quark in a hot QCD plasma can be extracted as a transport coefficient related to the correlator of two colour-electric fields dressing a Polyakov loop. We determine the perturbative renormalization factor for a particular lattice discretization of this correlator within Wilson's SU(3) gauge theory, finding a ~12% NLO correction for values of the bare coupling used in the current generation of simulations. The impact of this result on existing lattice determinations is commented upon, and a possibility for non-perturbative renormalization through the gradient flow is pointed out.

description: Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and Cathodoluminescence (CL) play a pivotal role in many of the cutting edge experiments in plasmonics. EELS and CL experiments are usually supported by numerical simulations, which, whilst accurate, may not provide as much physical insight as analytical calculations do. Fully analytical solutions to EELS and CL systems in plasmonics are rare and difficult to obtain. This paper aims to narrow this gap by introducing a new method based on Transformation optics that allows to calculate the quasi-static frequency and time-domain response of plasmonic particles under electron beam excitation.
DIVERSION OF PULSATILE FLOW OVER A RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL CAVITY USING SUPERHYDROPHOBIC MESH

description: Pulsatile flow over open cavity represents one type of physiological phenomenon related to a few common cardiovascular diseases, such as cerebral sidewall aneurysm and arrhythmia-induced thromboembolism in the left atrium appendage (LAA). In recent years, endovascular treatments using mesh-based implants have become increasingly popular. In this paper, we study the characteristics of pulsatile flow over a simplified sidewall cavity under two Reynolds/Womersley number conditions using Particle Image Velocimetry. The impacts of a regular mesh and a superhydrobobically-coated mesh on the cavity flow are investigated. Our results quantify the phase-to-phase changes of the flow fields and reveal the formation and the transport of the primary vortex over the ostium of the rectangular cavity. Results suggest the meshes diverted the main flow away from the cavity and prohibited the development of the primary vortex. A penetrated jet flow was formed near the front side of the cavity due to the presence of the mesh. The superhydrophobic mesh dramatically reduced the kinetic energy of the penetrated jet into the cavity. It indicates the mesh flow diversion is effective because of the destruction of the shearinduced vortex dynamics that causes flow stagnation on the rear cavity wall. Our results also indicate the superhydrophobic coating is potentially beneficial in terms of reducing the hemodynamic loading inside the cavity.

A obra faz o autor: uma autoetnografia do processo de criação e circulação do show Terra Vista da Lua

autoetnografia

description: RESUMO Esta pesquisa averigua os impactos que um processo criativo é capaz de causar na subjetividade de seu autor, tomando como objeto a produção de um show realizado pelo próprio pesquisador, intitulado Terra vista da Lua, e tecendo um relato autoetnográfico que pretende evidenciar como não apenas o autor faz a obra, mas o processo de feitura de uma obra artística, por sua vez, também faz seu autor, na medida em que impacta sua subjetividade. No decorrer da escrita, são descritos e analisados os procedimentos dos bastidores do espetáculo, desde sua conceituação, passando por sua montagem e terminando em sua circulação. O texto pretende mostrar como a arte é hábil em acessar um lugar em nós que, mais do que à interpretação, diz respeito a eventos que excedem nossa capacidade de simbolizar a experiência humana no mundo, cotejando o relato da experiência do processo aqui descrito sobretudo aos conceitos de modos de subjetivação, em Michel Foucault, e infamiliar, em Freud. Assim, concluímos que a arte oferece recursos para ampliar nossa capacidade de narrar o mundo e sustentar a inquietação do que não pode ser posto em palavras. ABSTRACT This research verifies the effects that a creative process is capable of causing in the subjectivity of its author, taking as its object the production of a show performed by the researcher himself, entitled Terra vista da Lua, and weaving an autoethnographic account that intends to show how not only the author makes the work, but the process of making an artistic work, in turn, also makes its author, insofar as it impacts its subjectivity. While writing, the behind-the-scenes procedures of the show are experienced and analyzed, from its conceptualization, through its assembly and ending with its circulation. The text intends to show how art can access a place in us that, more than interpretation, concerns events that exceed our capacity to symbolize the human experience in the world, comparing the report of the experience of the process described here, mainly to the concepts of modes of subjectivation, in Michel Foucault, and unfamiliar, in Freud. Thus, we conclude that art offers resources to expand our ability to narrate the world and sustain the restlessness of what cannot be put into words.
Max Adolph Warburg’s Doctoral Thesis and the Warburg Circle

description: In his dissertation, Max Adolph follows the two premises on which cultural studies in the Warburg Circle were based: firstly, the conviction in the simultaneity of mythical and rational thinking in cultural history and, secondly, the assumption that it was the task of astrology from antiquity to the Renaissance to mediate between these two poles. Even a rational philosopher like Plato had knowledge of such a belief in the stars. The traces of Max Adolph’s mentor, Boll, are therefore unmistakable in his work. Although he remains unnamed in the dissertation, yet Boll is present throughout and needs to be considered.

Internal divisions and security cultures: the impact of Turkish membership on the European Union's foreign and security policies
Creators: name: Sandrin, Paula
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2013

description: This thesis aims to assess, with the help of the concept of security culture, the impact that Turkish membership will have on the European Union’s foreign and security policies. It argues that any analysis of the impact of Turkey on the EU’s role as an international actor needs to take into account existing divisions within Europe and within Turkey in terms of security culture. Neither the EU nor Turkey is a monolithic actor when it comes to security understandings and preferences. This thesis argues that, due to the existence of a plurality of security cultures within Europe, EU member states can be grouped according to those supporting the project of a Global Power Europe, Humanitarian Power Europe and Minimum Power Europe. For its part, Turkey has two security cultures, which I have called “Republican” and “neo- Ottomanist”. This thesis argues that an assessment of Turkey’s impact on the role of the EU in the world stage must take into account the three existing normative approaches for the future of the EU (Global, Humanitarian, and Minimum Power Europe) and the characteristics of Turkey’s Republican and Neo-Ottomanist security cultures. After locating where Turkey’s security cultures sit in the broader picture of European security landscape, this thesis concludes that Turkish membership is unlikely to significantly alter the EU’s role in the international system. With or without Turkey, the EU will probably continue to resemble a Humanitarian Power in the world stage. This finding makes an important contribution to the literature by challenging the binary logic that pervades the discussion about Turkish membership in the areas of foreign and security policies and has important implications for EU policy towards Turkey.
