description: Introduction. « Organisation des soins et de la santé des soignants » (Orsosa) est une démarche de prévention primaire, participative et collective des risques psychosociaux (RPS) chez le personnel soignant. Elle est basée sur une méthode validée de diagnostic rapide des risques psychologiques et organisationnels spécifiques à l’unité de soins. Objectif. Faire émerger des actions de prévention par le collectif de travail, répondant aux alertes mises en évidence par l’évaluation des RPS permise par Orsosa. Méthode. Passation du questionnaire « Orsosa » au personnel soignant (infirmiers et aides-soignants) de l’unité de soins : il s’agit de 22 questions explorant 8 dimensions spécifiques des risques psychologiques et organisationnels des soignants. Les résultats de ces questionnaires, associés à une évaluation des contraintes musculosquelettiques, permettent de cibler les dimensions à risque, et de faire émerger des pistes d’amélioration grâce à la constitution de groupes de travail. Le médecin du travail et le psychologue du travail sont en soutien lors de ces mises en débats, afin d’accompagner les plans d’actions de prévention, leur mise en œuvre et leur suivi. Résultats. Une appropriation des actions de prévention des RPS propres à l’unité de soins, participative et collective. Conclusion. La méthode Orsosa, organisée en mode projet, est utilisée depuis de nombreuses années dans les hôpitaux, et a fait la preuve de son efficacité en matière de prévention des RPS en milieu de soins.

description: The joint degree matrix of a graph gives the number of edges between vertices of degree i and degree j for every pair (i,j). One can perform restricted swap operations to transform a graph into another with the same joint degree matrix. We prove that the space of all realizations of a given joint degree matrix over a fixed vertex set is connected via these restricted swap operations. This was claimed before, but there is an error in the previous proof, which we illustrate by example. We also give a simplified proof of the necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be a joint degree matrix. Finally, we address some of the issues concerning the mixing time of the corresponding MCMC method to sample uniformly from these realizations.

description: As a step to further develop the share of renewable energies, the first German offshore test site alpha ventus has been installed in the North Sea in 2009 in water depths of 30 m, where experience shall be gained and made available for future offshore wind farms. Regarding converter foundations in deep water, it is well known that in most cases scour phenomena occur around the structures. Due to the complexity of the tripod foundations, significant knowledge gaps in scour progression in general and especially in detail as well as its probable effects on the stability and durability are given. Therefore, investigations on scouring phenomena around complex foundation structures like the tripod are carried out within the research project. The investigation method consists of a unique combination of local scour monitoring as well as physical and numerical modeling, whereas the physical modeling part was carried by means of 1:40 laboratory tests and 1:12 large-scale physical model tests in wave flumes. The results show that scours around the tripod foundation do not only occur directly around the foundation piles, but also in the near-field of the structure. Compared to first in-situ measured scours in the test site, at least a good qualitative agreement of the modeled scour depths and evolutions could be shown.

description: Alkali-activated materials were prepared from pond ash from the Darkhan city (Mongolia) thermal power station. This ash contains about 60 wt % X-ray amorphous material in addition to quartz, mullite, hematite and magnesioferrite, and presents significant storage problems since it is accumulating in large amounts and is a hazardous waste, containing 90-100 ppm of the heavy metals As, Pb and Cr, and about 800 ppm Sr. Alkali-activated materials synthesized from the as-received pond ash achieved compressive strengths of only 3.25 MPa. Reduction of the particle size by mechanical milling for up to 30 min progressively increases the compressive strength of the resulting alkali-activated geopolymer up to 15.4 MPa. Leaching tests indicate that the combination of milling and alkali treatment does not cause the release of the hazardous heavy metals from the product, making it suitable for construction applications. © 2017 CSIC.

description: Mis en œuvre depuis 2016, le dispositif national « Clusters sociaux qualité de vie au travail » en établissements de santé, porté par l’Agence nationale pour l’amélioration des conditions de travail (Anact) et la Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) avec l’appui de la direction générale de l’Offre de soins (DGOS), voit actuellement s’achever sa seconde vague d’actions collectives. Au travers de la mise en œuvre d’une méthodologie « qualité de vie au travail » (QVT), les quelque 200 établissements engagés dans ces clusters ont pu traiter de sujets aussi divers et complexes que la bientraitance comme levier de la QVT, l’apport des groupements hospitaliers de territoire à la QVT, le développement de projets architecturaux, la QVT en psychiatrie, la QVT comme facilitateur des projets de transformation… Mener des actions collectives au sein d’établissements sanitaires et médicosociaux nécessite un outillage méthodologique particulier, ainsi que l’engagement dans la durée d’un grand nombre de partenaires institutionnels et opérationnels. Cinq terrains sont mobilisés en régions Nouvelle-Aquitaine et Centre-Val de Loire, tant au niveau du pilotage des clusters qu’au niveau des réalisations d’établissements, permettant deux niveaux d’appréhension des projets. Cet article propose un éclairage sur les modalités de conduite de projets spécifiques aux thématiques traitées, sur le choix des expérimentations engagées, les outils utilisés, et sur les conditions partenariales locales en tant que facteurs facilitant des projets.

description: La problématique de la qualité de vie au travail (QVT) fait l’objet d’une diffusion de plus en plus importante dans les établissements de santé. Régulièrement inscrite à l’agenda social, elle n’en semble pas moins souvent insaisissable. Cet article présente un état de lieux des enseignements développés depuis plusieurs années sur ce thème au sein de l’École des hautes études en santé publique (EHESP). La QVT a été introduite dans les cursus de formation de manière transversale et progressive, le plus souvent à travers une pédagogie de formation-action. L’objectif est triple : informer sur la thématique, former à l’approche et préparer les futurs responsables à faire vivre la QVT dans leur établissement, tout en développant une approche critique des conditions de réussite de cette politique.

description: A new contact model is proposed to simulate the forced response of a two degree of freedom mechanical model which resembles the simplest form of a friction damped turbine blade. The model scales a measured friction hysteresis to the current state of the mechanical model to obtain the contact force. The equations of motion are solved iteratively with a Newton-Raphson method using an analytical Jacobian. Furthermore the nonlinear system is linearised by using the Monoharmonic Balance Method. Based on experiments functions are found that scale a single hysteresis in such a way that a wide range of contact states can be predicted sufficiently well. The forced response of the mechanical model using the proposed contact model shows good agreement with the forced response using an Elastic Coulomb Friction Model.

description: Le thème de la qualité de vie au travail (QVT), fort de son lien établi avec la qualité des soins, émerge dans le champ de la certification, sous la forme d’un critère du manuel de certification version (V) 2010. Depuis, l’intégration de cette thématique s’opère progressivement. Elle prend plus concrètement corps sous la V2014, avec l’obligation de son renseignement dans le Compte qualité. Cette exigence n’a cependant pas été corrélée à la systématisation de son évaluation en visite. Systématiser cette évaluation aurait nécessité disposer d’un solide bagage partagé de repères, d’outils, d’expériences concrètes décrites, appropriables et mobilisables tant par les établissements que par les experts visiteurs. Les travaux menés depuis 2010, qui se déploient sur le terrain dans le cadre d’expérimentations menées ou en cours dans plus de 200 établissements sanitaires et médicosociaux, apportent cela aujourd’hui. L’exploitation de ces expériences et l’enrichissement de l’outillage qu’elle a permis de générer, fournissent aux travaux de développement de la future certification un matériau abondant et structuré. Ces apports, permettent aux différents acteurs d’accéder à une représentation dynamique, illustrée, partageable et appropriable, de ce qui fait la démarche QVT. La future certification portera nécessairement un regard sur ce levier majeur de l’amélioration de la qualité des soins.

description: A major challenge in cardiovascular tissue engineering is the fabrication of scaffolds, which provide appropriate morphological and mechanical properties while avoiding undesirable immune reactions. In this study electrospinning was used to fabricate scaffolds out of blood proteins for cardiovascular tissue engineering. Lyophilised porcine plasma was dissolved in deionised water at a final concentration of 7.5% m/v and blended with 3.7% m/v PEO. Electrospinning resulted in homogeneous fibre morphologies with a mean fibre diameter of 151 nm, which could be adapted to create macroscopic shapes (mats, tubes). Cross-linking with glutaraldehyde vapour improved the long-term stability of protein based scaffolds in comparison to untreated scaffolds, resulting in a mass loss of 41% and 96% after 28 days of incubation in aqueous solution, respectively.

description: We prove that every 3-regular, n-vertex simple graph with sufficiently large girth contains an independent set of size at least 0.4361n. (The best known bound is 0.4352n.) In fact, computer simulation suggests that the bound our method provides is about 0.438n. Our method uses invariant Gaussian processes on the d-regular tree that satisfy the eigenvector equation at each vertex for a certain eigenvalue λ. We show that such processes can be approximated by i.i.d. factors provided that $|λ| \leq 2\sqrt{d-1}$. We then use these approximations for $λ= -2\sqrt{d-1}$ to produce factor of i.i.d. independent sets on regular trees.

description: A key step during the biosynthesis of cytochalasans is a proposed Knoevenagel condensation to form the pyrrolone core, enabling the subsequent 4+2 cycloaddition reaction that results in the characteristic octahydroisoindolone motif of all cytochalasans. In this work, we investigate the role of the highly conserved a,ß-hydrolase enzymes PyiE and ORFZ during the biosynthesis of pyrichalasin H and the ACE1 metabolite, respectively, using gene knockout and complementation techniques. Using synthetic aldehyde models we demonstrate that the Knoevenagel condensation proceeds spontaneously but results in the 1,3-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one tautomer, rather than the required 1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one tautomer. Taken together our results suggest that the a,ß-hydrolase enzymes are essential for first ring cyclisation, but the precise nature of the intermediates remains to be determined. © 2020 The Authors.

description: Le centre hospitalier universitaire (CHU) Saint-Pierre de Bruxelles s’est lancé un défi audacieux, celui d’investir dans un management participatif au sein de ses consultations. Suite aux nouvelles réformes, l’institution a dû revoir sa manière de manager. L’organisation doit imposer flexibilité et créativité, en redonnant du sens au travail, tout en diminuant le contrôle interne et en prônant la confiance. Le challenge est de remettre l’humain au cœur de l’organisation. Ceci a amené le CHU Saint-Pierre à créer un projet pilote des coordinateurs de consultations, ayant pour objectifs de prôner la transversalité, de casser les silos, et de développer les compétences des leaders. L’essentiel de l’expérience au centre de prélèvements a permis d’agir sur le bien-être des collaborateurs, et naturellement sur celui des patients. Les chiffres rejoignent les analyses de la littérature et confirment qu’une approche managériale du bien-être prônant l’autonomie, la confiance en soi, le sens du travail, la reconnaissance, la communication ouverte, transparente et authentique, la responsabilisation et l’intelligence collective, est favorable à l’engagement du personnel et à l’amélioration de ses performances au travail.

description: We discuss density functional theory calculations of hybrid inorganic/organic systems (HIOS) that explicitly include the global effects of doping (i.e. position of the Fermi level) and the formation of a space-charge layer. For the example of tetrafluoro-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) on the ZnO(000$\bar{1}$) surface we show that the adsorption energy and electron transfer depend strongly on the ZnO doping. The associated work function changes are large, for which the formation of space-charge layers is the main driving force. The prominent doping effects are expected to be quite general for charge-transfer interfaces in HIOS and important for device design.

description: This paper analyzes the relationship between public disclosure, private information and stock liquidity in Tunisian context using a sample of 41 listed firms in the Tunis Stock Exchange in 2007. First, we find no evidence that there is a relation between public and private information. Second, Tunisian investors do not trust the information disclosed in both annual reports and web sites, consequently it has no effects on stock liquidity, in contrast with private information.

In addition, we also present a conjecture on the bounds of inverse solution on Q-function.

Healthcare Provider Interactions

description: Background: The experience of birth trauma is common and can have a detrimental impact on a birthing person’s psychosocial wellbeing. Research exploring the aetiology of birth trauma has highlighted that negative interactions with healthcare providers is a key risk factor for birth trauma. However, there is limited research exploring the nature of these interactions within the context of NHS maternity services. Aims: The current study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of how birthing people experience negative interactions with healthcare providers and how negative interactions may contribute to the experience of birth trauma. Method: Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with birthing people who had given birth using NHS services in the last five years. These were analysed using a thematic analysis. Results: The study identified three main themes: 1) hospital centred care 2) power and the maternity system 3) the lasting impact. Conclusion: The study findings indicate that negative interactions with healthcare providers during childbirth is central to the experience of birth trauma. Negative interactions were associated with a lack of personalised care and the epistemic privileging of healthcare providers. The experience of negative interactions had a significant impact on participants’ wellbeing and altered their trust in health systems.

description: The paper studies a method for solving elliptic partial differential equations posed on hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N=2,3$. The method builds upon the formulation introduced in Bertalmio et al., J. Comput. Phys., 174 (2001), 759--780., where a surface equation is extended to a neighborhood of the surface. The resulting degenerate PDE is then solved in one dimension higher, but can be solved on a mesh that is unaligned to the surface. We introduce another extended formulation, which leads to uniformly elliptic (non-degenerate) equations in a bulk domain containing the surface. We apply a finite element method to solve this extended PDE and prove the convergence of finite element solutions restricted to the surface to the solution of the original surface problem. Several numerical examples illustrate the properties of the method.

description: A mechatronic system based on the micro-macro-kinematic consists of an industrial robot and a piezoelectric stage mounted on the robot’s end-effector and has to carry out operations like micro-assembly or micro-milling. The piezoelectric stage has to compensate the positioning error of the robot. Therefore, the position of the robot’s end-effector has to be measured with high accuracy. This paper presents a high accuracy 6D-measurement system, which is used to determine the position and orientation of the robot’s end-effector. We start with the description of the operational concept and components of the measurement system. Then we look at image processing methods, camera calibration and reconstruction methods and choose the most accurate ones. We apply the well-known pin-hole camera model to calibrate single cameras. Then we apply the epipolar geometry to describe the relationship between two cameras and calibrate them as a stereo vision system. A distortion model is also applied to enhance the accuracy of the system. The measurement results are presented in the end of the paper.

description: This study furthers Alzheimer’s family literature regarding the impact of caregiver attachment, readiness to provide care, and caregiver quality of life. A sample of 33 participants caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s disease in the state of Kentucky was recruited to complete a questionnaire for the study. The questionnaire consisted of an online survey about participants’ experiences and attachments growing up with their parents, their experiences becoming caregivers to their parents with Alzheimer’s disease, and participants’ current perspectives of their own quality of life. Positive perspectives in regards to quality of life among caregivers seem to be a predictor of both stronger readiness to care and stronger attachments. These finding inform therapists about the importance of recognizing a caregiver’s presenting problems of burden and their significance to attachment and readiness to provide such care. This recognition may impact therapy to strengthen a caregiver’s positive adaption, thus it may also decrease burden.

description: We conduct experiments with flexible swimmers to address the impact of fluid viscoelasticity on their locomotion. The swimmers are composed of a magnetic head actuated in rotation by a frequency-controlled magnetic field and a flexible tail whose deformation leads to forward propulsion. We consider both viscous Newtonian and glucose-based Boger fluids with similar viscosities. We find that the elasticity of the fluid systematically enhances the locomotion speed of the swimmer, and that this enhancement increases with Deborah number. Using Particle Image Velocimetry to visualize the flow field, we find a significant difference in the amount of shear between the rear and leading parts of the swimmer head. We conjecture that viscoelastic normal stresses lead to a net elastic forces in the swimming direction and thus a faster swimming speed.

description: Qualité de vie au travail (QVT) et satisfaction au travail (ST) sont intimement liées à la culture de sécurité (CS). Objectifs et Méthode. Le questionnaire Saphora-Job permet d’obtenir un indicateur global de la ST. Lors d’une campagne interrégionale française sur celle des professionnels dans les établissements de santé, entre 2014 et 2015, 78 établissements ont répondu à ce questionnaire. Les données ont été recueillies avec la plateforme eForap, par saisie décentralisée pour chaque professionnel, qui répondait de manière anonyme au questionnaire en ligne. Le traitement des données a été effectué pour l’ensemble des répondants, puis selon le secteur sanitaire et médicosocial. Les commentaires des participants ont été étudiés par une analyse thématique catégorielle. L’objectif de cet article est de présenter cet outil Saphora-Job, ainsi que les principaux résultats de cette campagne. Résultats. Les dimensions avec les scores les plus élevés étaient : les relations entre collègues, l’adéquation entre vie professionnelle et vie personnelle, et la nature du travail et son organisation. Les dimensions ayant les scores les plus bas étaient la rémunération, la reconnaissance et le développement professionnel. Ces résultats étaient globalement comparables entre le secteur sanitaire et le secteur médicosocial. Conclusion. Il est important que ces notions de QVT soient considérées au niveau des politiques d’établissements et des politiques nationales, afin d’agir de manière intégrée sur la CS dans le domaine de la santé.

description: Digital Disruption - 'the world in which we live in is changing'! Next-day delivery, Click & Collect, personalization, short delivery times and full order transparency have been incorporated in our daily life. In order to stay competitive, companies must react to the shifting customer demand towards on-demand, fitfor- purpose services and other market requirements. Due to these challenges and the increasing globalization, companies are confronted with ever more complex supply chain networks. The way to deal with the strongly increasing complexity of the company itself and its environment has become a key competitive factor. The complexity within a production company is characterized by the challenges encountered in daily business processes and can be described by the four dimensions of complexity: variety, heterogeneity, dynamics and non- transparency, as well as their interrelationships. Therefore, Supply Chain Management (SCM) is evolving from simply managing a chain of suppliers and manufactures towards a complex network including complicated backflows. New approaches in the context of digital transformation promise to support the management of such complex supply networks. Within this paper, influencing factors of the digital transformation and their effect on the four complexity dimensions are presented.

description: Alignment of optical components is crucial for the assembly of optical systems to ensure their full functionality. In this paper we present a novel predictor-corrector framework for the sequential assembly of serial optical systems. Therein, we use a hybrid optical simulation model that comprises virtual and identified component positions. The hybrid model is constantly adapted throughout the assembly process with the help of nonlinear identification techniques and wavefront measurements. This enables prediction of the future wavefront at the detector plane and therefore allows for taking corrective measures accordingly during the assembly process if a user-defined tolerance on the wavefront error is violated. We present a novel notation for the so-called hybrid model and outline the work flow of the presented predictor-corrector framework. A beam expander is assembled as demonstrator for experimental verification of the framework. The optical setup consists of a laser, two bi-convex spherical lenses each mounted to a five degree-of-freedom stage to misalign and correct components, and a Shack-Hartmann sensor for wavefront measurements.

description: Contexte. La Haute Autorité de santé conduit depuis 2013 un programme expérimental d’amélioration continue du travail en équipe (Pacte) en établissement de santé, qui pourrait à terme être incorporé à la certification. Cinquante équipes hospitalières ont expérimenté pendant 18 mois la méthode proposée. Méthode. L’évaluation du programme a porté sur la faisabilité de la démarche (indicateurs de processus et de satisfaction des équipes) et sur les résultats perçus et observés concernant le changement des comportements collectifs en matière de prise en charge. Résultats. Trente-sept virgule cinq pour cent des équipes considèrent la démarche comme un succès avec une amélioration de la qualité du travail en équipe et de la prise en charge des patients, et 52 % comme un demi-succès avec une amélioration ressentie des relations humaines et des communications, sans résultats perceptibles sur la prise en charge. Le Crew Resource Management « CRM santé », conçu pour évaluer le fonctionnement des équipes, est plébiscité comme l’outil central de la démarche. Discussion. Le programme est plus bénéficiaire aux équipes qui se sont engagées dès le départ dans un projet précis et ont prévu en conséquence le temps du projet et son organisation. En revanche le programme est trop lourd et dilué dans le temps pour les équipes qui l’ont entrepris en complément de leurs activités normales, comme un projet imposé par l’extérieur sans sujet précis au départ, ni ressources allouées et priorisées. Cette phase expérimentale est encourageante et servira de base à des initiatives ultérieures.

description: Plasma flows within prominences/filaments have been observed for many years and hold valuable clues concerning the mass and energy balance within these structures. Previous observations of these flows primarily come from H-alpha and cool EUV lines (e.g., 304A) where estimates of the size of the prominence threads has been limited by the resolution of the available instrumentation. Evidence of `counter-steaming' flows has previously been inferred from these cool plasma observations but now, for the first time, these flows have been directly imaged along fundamental filament threads within the million degree corona (at 193A). In this work we present observations of an active region filament observed with Hi-C that exhibits anti-parallel flows along adjacent filament threads. Complementary data from SDO/AIA and HMI are presented. The ultra-high spatial and temporal resolution of Hi-C allow the anti-parallel flow velocities to be measured (70-80 km/s) and gives an indication of the resolvable thickness of the individual strands (0.8'' +/- 0.1''). The temperature distribution of the plasma flows was estimated to be log T(K) = 5.45 +/- 0.10 using EM loci analysis. We find that SDO/AIA cannot clearly observe these anti-parallel flows nor measure their velocity or thread width due to its larger pixel size. We suggest that anti-parallel/counter-streaming flows are likely commonplace within all filaments and are currently not observed in EUV due to current instrument spatial resolution.

description: An amorphous polyethylene/silica (PE/S) interface exists in many materials. However, the research of the interfacial properties at microscale is lacking. Shear failure and adhesion properties of an amorphous PE/S interface are studied by molecular dynamics. The effects of PE chain length, the number of chains, and coupling agents on the shear behavior and interfacial adhesion are investigated. It is found that the modified silica (mS) surface induces an increase in the adhesion strength compared to unmodified S. The damage process and failure mode of the PE/S and PE/mS interface are analyzed at microscale. The contribution of bond length, bond angle, torsional potentials, and nonbonded energy is estimated as a function of the shear deformation to clarify the deformation mechanisms. The energy partitioning results indicate that the elastic, yield, and postyielding regions are mostly controlled by the nonbonded interactions. The dihedral motions of the chains also have an influence. Furthermore, the simulation results exhibit how the internal mechanism evolves with the shear deformation. © 2018 by the authors.

description: A Python package for the calculation of spectrograms with optimized time and frequency resolution for application in the analysis of numerical simulations on ultrashort pulse propagation is presented. Gabor’s uncertainty principle prevents both resolutions from being optimal simultaneously for a given window function employed in the underlying short-time Fourier analysis. Our aim is to yield a time–frequency representation of the input signal with marginals that represent the original intensities per unit time and frequency similarly well. As a use-case, we demonstrate the implemented functionality for the analysis of simulations on ultrashort pulse propagation in a nonlinear waveguide.
A Conceptual E-Governance Framework for Improving Child Immunization Process in India

description: India is country having high population and great variations in the educational level, economic conditions, population densities, cultures and awareness levels. Due to these variations the immunization process is not so much successful as per expectations of the state and central governments. In some zones the significant amount of vaccines are wasted whereas some are running out of vaccines. One of the reasons for such an imbalance is improper quantity estimation of vaccines in a particular zone. Further a huge amount of liquidity will be wasted in the form of vaccines. If we inculcate ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in the process of immunization then the problem can be rectified to some extent and hence we are proposing a conceptual model using ICT to improve the process of vaccination.

description: We report on first evidence of wave activity during neutral beam heating in KSTAR plasmas: 40 kHz magnetic fluctuations with a toroidal mode number of n=1. Our analysis suggests this a beta-induced Alfven eigenmode resonant with the q=1 surface. A kinetic analysis, when coupled with electron temperature measurements from electron cyclotron emission and ion/electron temperature ratios from crystallography, enables calculation of the frequency evolution, which is in agreement with observations. Complementary detailed MHD modelling of the magnetic configuration and wave modes supports the BAE mode conclusion, by locating an n=1 mode separated from the continuum in the core region. Finally, we have computed the threshold to marginal stability for a range of ion temperature profiles. These suggest the BAE can be driven unstable by energetic ions when the ion temperature radial gradient is sufficiently large. Our findings suggest that mode existence could be used as a form of inference for temperature profile consistency in the radial interval of the mode, thereby extending the tools of MHD spectroscopy.

description: A fully 3-dimensional plasma consisting of up to 96 charged particles is simulated in a computer. The plasma is confined to a sphere (or cube) with specularly reflecting walls. The forces are computed using a predictor corrector method with variable time steps. From initial configurations randomly chosen the evolution of the plasma is followed numerically. Distribution functions and moments with respect to various phase variables are obtained as time averages: The distribution of velocity, kinetic and potential energy, of the electric microfield, the micropotential as measured at a neutral point of reference (usually the center of the system), the mean square electric field, the microfield correlation function and the particle relaxation times. As the sphere used in the experiments has dimensions only slightly larger than the Debye sphere, collective phenomena and those due to major density fluctuations cannot be expected. Despite these limitations the mean electric field is found to be high by approx. 10% compared to the Holtsmark field. Furthermore other comparisons to existing theories with respect to the variables already mentioned are carried out. © 1968, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.

description: A three-dimensional micro-scale model is used to study some aspects of wind comfort in a built-up area. The equations for calculating the mean wind have been extended by a Markov approach for short-term wind fluctuations. The model components have been successfully verified against wind tunnel measurements and observations of a field experiment. The simulated time series are used to estimate wind comfort measures. It turns out that the frequency of exceedance of prescribed thresholds depends strongly on the specification of the gust duration time. It was also possible to calculate the spatial distribution of a gust factor g depending on local wind characteristics. The simulated range is much broader than a value of g = 3-3.5 commonly used for wind comfort assessments. Again, the order of magnitude and the bandwidth of g depends strongly on the definition of a gust.
