Year: 2017

description: Objective: To assess how the Centers of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Education, Science and Practice (COEs) are addressing abortion in their programs’ foundational courses and overall Maternal and Child Health (MCH) graduate curricula. Methods: Between January and March 2017, a descriptive study was conducted with faculty, staff, and students from the 13 Centers of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Education, Science and Practice. Review of syllabi and discussions with faculty were used to categorize abortion coverage as transparent or discrete. Results: One of 13 Centers of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Education, Science and Practice (COEs) programs transparently addresses abortion in their foundational course(s). Seven of thirteen COEs have discrete inclusion in their foundational course(s). All programs address abortion in some capacity though no standard exists to ensure abortion inclusion in MCH graduate curricula. Conclusion: The Centers of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Education, Science and Practice should incorporate abortion in foundational courses and electives more transparently to educate students on how to engage with complex public health issues while mitigating the negative effects of stigma on those most in need of services.

description: Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) has often been invoked both in simulations and in interpreting observations for regulating star formation and quenching cooling flows in massive galaxies. AGN activity can, however, also over-pressurise the dense star-forming regions of galaxies and thus enhance star formation, leading to a positive feedback effect. To understand this pressurisation better, we investigate the effect of an ambient external pressure on gas fragmentation and triggering of starburst activity by means of hydrodynamical simulations. We find that moderate levels of over-pressurisation of the galaxy boost the global star formation rate of the galaxy by an order of magnitude, turn stable discs unstable, and lead to significant fragmentation of the gas content of the galaxy, similar to what is observed in high redshift galaxies.

description: The purpose of this case comment is to shed light on the concepts of both acquisitive and extinctive prescriptions and comment whether the court’s
decisions upheld today is really in line with the intention of the land policy that we adopt. This comment is mainly based on the different decisions
delivered by the Federal Supreme Court Cassation Division (FSCCD) during the past several years. The ambiguous nature of the applicability of the period
of limitation principle on landholdings and the double stands that the court holds and which discriminates between private and state holdings encourage
us to prepare this comment.

description: We analyse the main physical parameters and the circumstellar environment of the young Herbig Be star HD 98922. We present AMBER/VLTI high spectral resolution (R =12000) interferometric observations across the Br$γ$ line, accompanied by UVES high-resolution spectroscopy and SINFONI-AO assisted near-infrared integral field spectroscopic data. To interpret our observations, we develop a magneto-centrifugally driven disc-wind model. Our analysis of the UVES spectrum shows that HD 98922 is a young (~5x10^5 yr) Herbig Be star (SpT=B9V), located at a distance of 440(+60-50) pc, with a mass accretion rate of ~9+/-3x10^(-7) M_sun yr^(-1). SINFONI K-band AO-assisted imaging shows a spatially resolved circumstellar disc-like region (~140 AU in diameter) with asymmetric brightness distribution. Our AMBER/VLTI UT observations indicate that the Br$γ$ emitting region (radius ~0.31+/-0.04 AU) is smaller than the continuum emitting region (inner dust radius ~0.7+/-0.2 AU), showing significant non-zero V-shaped differential phases (i.e. non S-shaped, as expected for a rotating disc). The value of the continuum-corrected pure Br$γ$ line visibility at the longest baseline (89 m) is ~0.8+/-0.1, i.e. the Br$γ$ emitting region is partially resolved. Our modelling suggests that the observed Br$γ$ line-emitting region mainly originates from a disc wind with a half opening angle of 30deg, and with a mass-loss rate of ~2x10(-7) M_sun yr^(-1). The observed V-shaped differential phases are reliably reproduced by combining a simple asymmetric continuum disc model with our Br$γ$ disc-wind model. The Br$γ$ emission of HD 98922 can be modelled with a disc wind that is able to approximately reproduce all interferometric observations if we assume that the intensity distribution of the dust continuum disc is asymmetric.

The Elephant in the Room: Poverty and Mental Health among Refugee Women
Creators: name: Byrnes, Rosemary
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Refugees arriving in the United States experience mental illness at a higher rate than the general public, and female refugees in particular experience poorer mental health outcomes than their male counterparts. From 2013 to 2016, brief structured interviews were conducted with 53 female refugees resettled in central North Carolina. The purpose of the study was to explore female-identified refugees' perceptions of what influences their mental health. Practical concerns, such as finding a job, paying rent, and learning English were the most widely cited contributors to poor emotional wellbeing. When considering interventions to improve mental health among refugee populations, it is necessary to take a holistic approach, addressing practical as well as emotional needs.

description: The Security Council has imposed a number of sanctions on targeted individuals and states. These days it has preferred targeted sanctions1
to the general ones. These targeted financial sanctions and travel bans were also imposed on the families of the targeted and designated
individuals. This article focuses on the impact of the smart or designer sanctions on the economic, social and cultural rights of targeted
individuals and their families. It discusses the legality of these measures taken against the targeted individuals and their respective
family members. The substantive human rights of targeted individuals and their families, inter alia, the right to property, health, work, and
the right to education of targeted individuals and their families can be violated. Because of the absence of procedural guarantees in the area
targeted individuals cannot defend themselves against the Security Council’s action. The author will discuss how these procedural and
substantive human rights are violated and the related issue of the right to effective remedies.

description: The ESO Public Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is an optical wide-field imaging survey carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope and the OmegaCAM camera. KiDS will scan 1500 square degrees in four optical filters (u, g, r, i). Designed to be a weak lensing survey, it is ideal for galaxy evolution studies, thanks to the high spatial resolution of VST, the good seeing and the photometric depth. The surface photometry have provided with structural parameters (e.g. size and Sérsic index), aperture and total magnitudes have been used to derive photometric redshifts from Machine learning methods and stellar masses/luminositites from stellar population synthesis. Our project aimed at investigating the evolution of the colour and structural properties of galaxies with mass and environment up to redshift $z \sim 0.5$ and more, to put constraints on galaxy evolution processes, as galaxy mergers.

description: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a large collaborative effort aimed at the design and operation of an observatory dedicated to very high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics in the energy range from a few tens of GeV to above 100 TeV, which will yield about an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity with respect to the current major arrays (H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS). Within this framework, the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics is leading the ASTRI project, whose main goals are the design and installation on Mt. Etna (Sicily) of an end-to-end dual-mirror prototype of the CTA small size telescope (SST) and the installation at the CTA Southern site of a dual-mirror SST mini-array composed of nine units with a relative distance of about 300 m. The innovative dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder optical solution adopted for the ASTRI Project allows us to substantially reduce the telescope plate-scale and, therefore, to adopt silicon photo-multipliers as light detectors. The ASTRI mini-array is a wider international effort. The mini-array, sensitive in the energy range 1-100 TeV and beyond with an angular resolution of a few arcmin and an energy resolution of about 10-15%, is well suited to study relatively bright sources (a few $\times 10^{-12}$erg cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ at 10 TeV) at very high energy. Prominent sources such as extreme blazars, nearby well-known BL Lac objects, Galactic pulsar wind nebulae, supernovae remnants, micro-quasars, and the Galactic Center can be observed in a previously unexplored energy range. The ASTRI mini-array will extend the current IACTs sensitivity well above a few tens of TeV and, at the same time, will allow us to compare our results on a few selected targets with those of current (HAWC) and future high-altitude extensive air-shower detectors.

Incarceration of Women in the United States: An Influential Determinant of Maternal Child Health
Creators: name: Legerton, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This recorded lecture was created in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health in the Department of Maternal and Child Health, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The United States incarcerates more people than any other country. Since 1972, the number of people incarcerated in prisons and jails has increased by 600%, with a 2010 prison and jail population of roughly 2.2 million (Mauer, 2013). This increase of incarceration has been due predominantly to changes in sentencing policies rather than changes in crime rates (The Sentencing Project, 2014a). This presentation is intended to offer an introduction to the importance of incarceration as a social determinant of health in the United States, with a focus on the population of adult women. Public health's emphasis on identifying and preventing root causes poises the field well to increase partnerships and advocacy for prevention and improved health of all individuals in our community. This presentation provides an overview of some of the known health impacts of the incarceration system on adult women the United States. It covers concepts of health equity, social determinants of health, health in all policies as they relate to mass incarceration. Health risks and challenges specific to women who are incarcerated will be included, and trends in research on maternal child health indicators in relation to incarceration. This lecture will provide a starting point to stimulate your interest in learning more about the multitude of links between incarceration and public health.

description: This study investigates the heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb) accumulation and speciation in the mangrove and lagoon sediments in the Yundang Lagoon. This also investigates the phytoremediation capacity of the mangrove species in the forestation areas. The result showed that significantly (P < 0.05) higher amount of organic carbon in the mangrove forestation sediments than lagoon sediments. Mangrove forestation increased the accumulation of Cr, Mn, Cu, As, and Zn in the mangrove sediments than lagoon sediments. According to chemical speciation, it revealed that acid-soluble fraction decreased and oxidisable fraction increased in the mangrove sediments than lagoon sediments. Cu, Ni, Cr, and As has considerably increased in oxidisable fraction, and Cd and Pb have increased in the reducible fraction in the mangrove sediment. The bio-concentration factor and translocation factor values indicate that these species of mangroves are not efficient accumulators of heavy metals from the surrounding environment but potential metals translocators. These results suggest that mangrove forestation can increase the circulation of heavy metals resulting in stabilise the polluted environment. Moreover, this study suggests that mangrove forestation has enhanced metals accumulation but decreased their bioavailability and mobility in the sediment.

description: The speed of a quantum random number generator is essential for practical applications, such as high-speed quantum key distribution systems. Here, we push the speed of a quantum random number generator to 68 Gbps by operating a laser around its threshold level. To achieve the rate, not only high-speed photodetector and high sampling rate are needed, but also a very stable interferometer is required. A practical interferometer with active feedback instead of common temperature control is developed to meet requirement of stability. Phase fluctuations of the laser are measured by the interferometer with a photodetector, and then digitalized to raw random numbers with a rate of 80 Gbps. The min-entropy of the raw data is evaluated by modeling the system and is used to quantify the quantum randomness of the raw data. The bias of the raw data caused by other signals, such as classical and detection noises, can be removed by Toeplitz-matrix hashing randomness extraction. The final random numbers can pass through the standard randomness tests. Our demonstration shows that high-speed quantum random number generators are ready for practical usage.

description: We examine square and kagome artificial spin ice for colloids confined in arrays of double-well traps. Unlike magnetic artificial spin ices, colloidal and vortex artificial spin ice realizations allow creation of doping sites through double occupation of individual traps. We find that doping square and kagome ice geometries produces opposite effects. For square ice, doping creates local excitations in the ground state configuration that produce a local melting effect as the temperature is raised. In contrast, the kagome ice ground state can absorb the doping charge without generating non-ground-state excitations, while at elevated temperatures the hopping of individual colloids is suppressed near the doping sites. These results indicate that in the square ice, doping adds degeneracy to the ordered ground state and creates local weak spots, while in the kagome ice, which has a highly degenerate ground state, doping locally decreases the degeneracy and creates local hard regions.

Tax Exemption through Letters: Issues of Legality and Equality
Creators: name: Tsegay, Ataklti Weldeabzgi
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Employment income is one source of income tax in Ethiopia. Employees, in addition to their periodic salary, may be entitled to other payments or gains in cash or in kind during the employment relationship. The main concern of this article is to assess whether payments other than periodic salary of an employee, particularly house and transportation allowances, are taxable or not. The income tax proclamation, income tax regulation and income tax exemption directive provide employment incomes exempted from taxation. other institutions employees are not exempted. The acts of those institutions that request exemption of tax liability and the office that
rant exemption violate the income tax proclamation which imposes an obligation on them to cooperate in the enforcement of the proclamation. Particularly, ERCA, the principal body in the administration of tax, fails to respect and ensure compliance of tax laws.
However, house and transportation allowances are not among those exempted. Practically, the writer traced that some federal government institutions, including Ethiopian Revenues and Custom Authority (ERCA) employees’ incomes received in the form of house and transportation allowances and one regional government institution
 employees’ income paid for house allowance are exempted from taxation via letters written by the Office of the Prime Minister and the regional government Supreme Court respectively. The exemptions for the federal government institutions employees are granted following the request of their employers. These exemptions being made by bodies not authorized by law to grant exemption and the means of exemption, i.e., the letters raise basic questions of legality. The exemptions also violate the principle of equality as similar incomes of other institutions employees are not exempted. The acts of those institutions that request exemption of tax liability and the office that
grant exemption violate the income tax proclamation which imposes an obligation on them to cooperate in the enforcement of the proclamation. Particularly, ERCA, the principal body in the administration of tax, fails to respect and ensure compliance of tax laws.

Year: 2017

description: This curriculum for the “Young Mothers Program” was designed specifically for use in Botswana by the NGO Stepping Stones International (SSI), an organization based in Mochudi, Botswana. The resources were designed using evidence-based materials and key informant interviews with stakeholders in Botswana and were crafted specifically to meet the needs of young women in Botswana. A need exists for programs targeted at young mothers in Botswana to support them, allow them to support each other, aid in the development of parenting skills, build their self-esteem, and prevent subsequent pregnancies among teens. The program meets those needs through an educational and support group curriculum for mothers who are both in and out of school. Covered topics include goal setting, self-esteem, sexual and reproductive health, maternal and child health, breastfeeding, gender-based violence, mental health, and leadership skills.
The Commercial-Civil Dichotomy of Business Organizations and Its Legal Significance under Ethiopian Law
Creators: name: Chanie, Gizachew Silesh
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The classification of business organizations into commercial business
organizations and civil business organizations (also known as non-commercial business organizations) is traditionally maintained in
most civil law countries. The Ethiopian legal system, which maintains
distinct civil codes and commercial codes, also upholds the
classification of business organizations into commercial and civil
business organizations. With respect to this classification, a host of
issues remain blurred. What is the basis of the classification? Is the
basis of the classification clear cut? What are the legal consequences
of this classification? What legal frameworks do these categories of
business organizations share and where do they differ? Do we
necessarily need to sustain this dichotomy anymore? Has any
subsequent legislation affected the earlier legal framework of the
distinction in the Commercial Code of Ethiopia? These issues and
other related matters deserve critical consideration in the Ethiopian
context. Through analysis of these issues, this article concludes that
the civil-commercial dichotomy of business organizations is somewhat
old-fashioned, at least in some respects, and under Ethiopian law, it
has put civil business organizations at a disadvantage.

Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2021

description: The mantle is Earth’s largest silicate reservoir and one of its fundamental characteristics is the chemical and isotopic heterogeneity that extends down to the mineral scale. These various-sized mantle domains reflect different proportions of multiple, superimposed depletion and enrichment events that affected the mantle in time and space. As such, each of these domains may therefore retain different and potentially unique information regarding the extent of mantle depletion as well as the role and nature of enrichment by crustal recycling. Owing to the reaction with other surface reservoirs before subduction, mantle domains that were enriched by recycled crust may additionally record ancient ocean-atmospheric conditions. The sustainable mantle thus maintains a certain rate of exchange between Earth’s interior and exterior, stores compositional heterogeneities that relate to this exchange and partly mirror global conditions of ancient Earth’s surface. This session welcomes contributions that address different scales, features and implications of the chemical and isotopic heterogeneity of the mantle, its role for geological resources and the perspective of mantle and mantle-derived components to elucidate ancient surface conditions that shaped a habitable planet over time.

Sul piano dei principi l’inclusione concerne il diritto di tutti gli studenti, compresi quanti sperimentano difficoltà di diversa natura, di avere accesso all’istruzione all’interno della scuola ordinaria. Ma una scuola che include è anche una scuola efficace? Che impatto ha l’inclusione sul rendimento degli studenti con bisogni speciali e dei loro compagni a sviluppo tipico? Qual è l’impatto sulla partecipazione sociale di tutti gli studenti? Ad oggi sappiamo che sul piano delle evidenze empiriche le risposte a queste domande sono molto lontane da risposte definitive. Lo scopo di questo lavoro è presentare lo stato dell’arte della ricerca internazionale sull’educazione inclusiva attraverso i risultati delle indagini più recenti.

The African Women Protocol as Supplemental to the African Charter and Other Human Rights Instruments: A Brief Analysis
Creators: name: Abate, Mizanie Tadesse
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The African women’s Rights Protocol was adopted in July 2003 and
came into force in November 2005 as a response to widespread
human rights violations sustained by women in Africa.The purpose of
this article was to succinctly canvass the issue of whether the Protocol
is able to remedy the inadequacies of the African Charter and other
human rights instruments in terms of guaranteeing the rights of African
women. The article found out that the Protocol is a landmark treaty in
a number of respects either by conferring new rights or broadening
the scope of rights of women in existing treaties. Specific areas to
which the Protocol has added value to the existing human rights
instruments include violence against women, harmful practices,
women’s reproductive rights and HIV/AIDS. In some cases, however,
the Protocol is found to contain protections below the existing
treaties as can be exemplified by its failure to expressly recognize the
right of women to vote or to participate at the international level and
the right of women to an equal share of the common property at the time of
dissolution of marriage. In terms of establishing a treaty monitoring
body to improve states’ compliance with their treaty obligations, the
Protocol has not come up with a distinct body as opposed to CEDAW
and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. The
article contended that cultural and religious practices as well as lack
of universal ratification could hamper the smooth implementation of
the Protocol. To overcome these setbacks, the article, inter alia,
recommended that the Protocol should be ratified by the remaining
 states with minimum possible or no reservation(s) and cultural and
religious resistance should be lessened through continuous awareness
creation and dialogue.

A Literature Review on the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P)
Creators: name: Hasanaliyeva, Nigar
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: This literature review starts out by discussing the relevancy of Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) as an approach to address mental health issues in children and adolescents and child abuse in societies. It then goes to illustrate the Triple P Model which will describe the target parent group, the practitioners best suited to each level and delivery format. Then the review will demonstrate the results of important studies. After looking at the results of the studies, the review will address key considerations such as the need to develop, implement and evaluate parenting interventions that can be disseminated on a large scale in a cost-effective manner. For such an effort to be effective a public health approach is needed.

description: Stegocoelia Donald, 1889 Australian Carboniferous species. Stegocoelia (Stegocoelia) nodosa Yoo, 1988, from 'Marohn'; Stegocoelia (Hypergonia) elongata Yoo, 1988, from 'Marohn'; Stegocoelia (Hypergonia) tenuis Yoo, 1988, from 'Marohn'; Stegocoelia (Hypergonia) sp. A (in this study), from 'Kyndalyn'; Stegocoelia (Hypergonia) sp. B (in this study), from 'Kyndalyn". Remarks. Stegocoelia is transferred from the Murchisonioidea to Loxonematoidea on the basis of the morphological similarity of the protoconch to Loxonematoidea. Stegocoelia has a tall, smooth sinuated protoconch and dominant spiral cords on teleoconch without a distinct selenizone. In contrast, Murchisonia seems to have a simple protoconch and a distinct selenizone.

description: The current-driven motion of a domain wall (DW) in a ferromagnet with many Bloch lines (BLs) via the spin transfer torque is studied theoretically. It is found that the motion of BLs changes the current-velocity ($j$-$v$) characteristic dramatically. Especially, the critical current density to overcome the pinning force is reduced by the factor of the Gilbert damping coefficient $α$ even compared with that of a skyrmion. This is in sharp contrast to the case of magnetic field driven motion, where the existence of BLs reduces the mobility of the DW.
Sulle diverse fortune dell’approccio evidence based in ambito medico e educativo

description: La scienza medica segue da tempo un approccio evidence based grazie al quale è avanzata empiricamente per prove ed errori ottenendo innegabili risultati. Tale approccio ha incontrato grande fortuna in ambito medico ma non ancora in ambito educativo. Questa discrepanza viene spiegata sulla base della legge dell’effetto per cui, data una certa situazione, solo le risposte seguite da una ricompensa sono rafforzate e hanno buone probabilità di essere registrate come risposte abituali a quella situazione. L’approccio evidence based funziona bene quando applicato in ambito medico ma non (o perlomeno in misura molto minore) in ambito educativo. In effetti, la pratica medica in tutto il suo processo dallo sviluppo delle conoscenze alla soddisfazione dei bisogni del paziente risponde alla legge dell’effetto. La stessa logica non pervade il processo della formazione e trasmissione del sapere educativo destinato a tradursi in proposte didattiche. Si auspica qualcosa cominci a cambiare.

description: There is now strong evidence that some stars have been born with He mass fractions as high as $Y \approx 0.40$ (e.g., in $ω$ Centauri). However, the advanced evolution, chemical yields, and final fates of He-rich stars are largely unexplored. We investigate the consequences of He-enhancement on the evolution and nucleosynthesis of intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) models of 3, 4, 5, and 6 M$_\odot$ with a metallicity of $Z = 0.0006$ ([Fe/H] $\approx -1.4$). We compare models with He-enhanced compositions ($Y=0.30, 0.35, 0.40$) to those with primordial He ($Y=0.24$). We find that the minimum initial mass for C burning and super-AGB stars with CO(Ne) or ONe cores decreases from above our highest mass of 6 M$_\odot$ to $\sim$ 4-5 M$_\odot$ with $Y=0.40$. We also model the production of trans-Fe elements via the slow neutron-capture process (s-process). He-enhancement substantially reduces the third dredge-up efficiency and the stellar yields of s-process elements (e.g., 90% less Ba for 6 M$_\odot$, $Y=0.40$). An exception occurs for 3 M$_\odot$, where the near-doubling in the number of thermal pulses with $Y=0.40$ leads to $\sim$ 50% higher yields of Ba-peak elements and Pb if the $^{13}$C neutron source is included. However, the thinner intershell and increased temperatures at the base of the convective envelope with $Y=0.40$ probably inhibit the $^{13}$C neutron source at this mass. Future chemical evolution models with our yields might explain the evolution of s-process elements among He-rich stars in $ω$ Centauri.

FEA dual model and experimental characterization to investigate the effect of an FCC microstructure on the macroscale and microscale stresses of a PZT actuated vibrating thin plate†

description: A numerical finite element analysis (FEA) dual model which combines a macroscale (Ansys) and a microscale (Abaqus) model, was employed to investigate the effect of a face centre cubic (FCC) microstructure on the macroscale and microscale stresses of a piezoelectrically (PZT) actuated Pd/Ni alloy thin plate subjected to high frequency vibration. The method of Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to characterise the alloy microstructure, identifying the crystal orientations. Ansys multiphysics harmonic analysis was conducted to evaluate the macroscale stresses and strains of the orthotropic Pd/Ni plate subjected to high frequency vibration. It was found that the global maximum stresses and strains occur at the centre of the vibrating plate. Ansys predicted displacement at the centre of the vibrating plate was successfully validated experimentally using a laser doppler vibrometer (LDV) instrument. The crystal orientations identified at the centre of the vibrating plate was incorporated into an Abaqus crystal plasticity analysis within a representative volume element. The biaxial strain obtained from the Macroscale Ansys model was applied to the Microscale representative volume element to reproduce the deformation at the centre of the Pd/Ni plate. Using this material microstructure, the Microscale model investigated the local failure mechanism within the linear elastic regime. It was found that the microscale simulation (Abaqus) predictions of the magnitude of the stresses are consistent with those at the macroscale level (Ansys). The dual FEA model simulation results revealed that high stress or strain occurs at some grain boundaries and within grains with a [101] orientation. These stresses could be sufficiently high to cause failure at the macroscale, in particular for the case of a duplex type of microstructure of the bulk of the material, situated perpendicular to the direction of vibration. The FEA dual model predictions were confirmed experimentally by a continuous seven days fatigue-cycling test conducted on the Pd/Ni vibrating plates.

description: We study the Einstein gravity and dust system in three spacetime dimensions as an example of a non-perturbative quantum gravity model with local degrees of freedom. We derive the Hamiltonian theory in the dust time gauge and show that it has a rich class of exact solutions. These include the Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole, static solutions with naked singularities and travelling wave solutions with dynamical horizons. We give a complete quantization of the wave sector of the theory, including a definition of a self-adjoint spacetime metric operator. This operator is used to demonstrate the quantization of deficit angle and the fluctuation of dynamical horizons.
