title: Centring the client organisation in global account management practice: A phenomenological study
Creators: name: Forret, Mark
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: The aim of this research is to enhance practice and theory by exploring the key challenges and enablers within Global Account Management from the perspective of clients buying services from the outsourced service industry.

This qualitative phenomenological study explores some of the key enablers and barriers within Global Account Management today from the perspective of executives who procure such services. It contributes to an area of academic literature which is currently undeveloped, whilst concurrently guiding practice within the outsourced services industry through the development of a conceptual model.

This study explores the views and perspectives of 15 executive participants located across the UK, USA, Denmark, Germany and Australia, and considers the essential characteristics of Global Account Management, identified through rich in-depth interviews.

All interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Four key categories emerged – Compatibility, Competency, Corporate Governance and Commercial Outcomes – which encompassed 22 themes that a supplier organisation should consider when structuring and implementing Global Account Management.

This study contributes to both theory and practice. The evidence gathered and subsequent findings emphasise the importance of these four new key areas being present, as they are central to Global Account Management or those considering developing such accounts. Four essential characteristics were also consistently evident in the interviews, Partnership, Culture, Relationship and Trust, which come under the main Compatibility category. Without necessary consideration of these characteristics, the likelihood of the global account underperforming or failing is high. These findings and recommendations are presented within a conceptual model which is intended to guide best practice.
title: Responses of aquatic invertebrates to anthropogenic sound across different life history stages
Creators: name: Bolger, Edward L.
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: Underwater soundscapes have grown considerably louder over the previous century due to increases in anthropogenic noise, with increasing evidence that manmade sound can negatively impact aquatic fauna. Despite their vital ecological roles, and increasing commercial importance, the effects of sound on aquatic invertebrates are understudied in comparison to marine mammals and fish, despite their ability to perceive sound. Even fewer studies have considered the responses of early life aquatic invertebrates to underwater sound, despite their often greater vulnerability to environmental stressors compared to adults.

Through a series of controlled laboratory experiments, five model species (Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus (L.), European lobster Homarus gammarus (L.), the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis (L.), the veined squid Loligo forbesii (Steenstrup, 1857) and the water flea Daphnia magna (Straus, 1820)) were exposed to playbacks of anthropogenic noise. Two key knowledge gaps were addressed in this thesis: whether, and how 1) continuous noise (the most common anthropogenic noise source in the field) affects the early life stages of aquatic invertebrates and 2) noise impacts on aquatic invertebrates carry over from one life stage to the next e.g. from larva to juvenile or from mother to offspring.

The early life stages of four out of the five model species studied were negatively impacted by noise, demonstrating that noise susceptibility is shared across a functionally and taxonomically diverse range of early life aquatic invertebrates. The experiments also revealed that impacts can carry over from larva to juvenile (N. norvegicus) and from mother to offspring (D. magna). The scientific evidence generated here will inform future research, legislative decision makers and managers of the importance of considering early life invertebrates as receptors of anthropogenic noise impacts, allowing them to generate more adequate mitigation strategies to uphold their commitments to limiting the impacts of noise on the marine environment.

description: A main goal for solar cell research is to advance the metallisation to achieve higher efficiencies. Therefore
the conductivity of the metal fingers and the contact between the wafer material and the metal has to be improved. For a
lower contact resistivity between silver and silicon a nickel particle-free ink was synthesized and printed as seedlayer to
show the influence of the promotion of building silver-silicon-structures by using nickel which is highly soluble in silicon
and silver. This paper presents experiments of silver pastes containing a nickel complex and of a novel particle-free
nickel ink, which is deposited as seedlayer. The nickel ink can be deposited using the above mentioned printing
techniques for fine metal tracks or by spin coating to cover an area. The differences between using seedlayer techniques
or contacting directly with a nickel containing paste is shown. The metal grits have been characterized by contact
resistance on silicon wafers, by solar cell efficiency and adhesion tests.

divided by the extraterrestrial horizontal irradiation, in order to increase the number of data available for the parameter
fitting. The forecasting data were selected for the weather, ambient temperature, and the humidity of the weather
forecasting reported by portal web site. As a result, a multiple regression model was developed for forecasting, and the
weather and humidity were indicated to be effective for the model according to step-wise method. In addition, the other
improved by standard deviation).Moreover, we evaluated the prediction error of total irradiation in the large area, and the
correlation was evaluated for predicting the error between point to point in order to estimate the prediction error of total
irradiation in the large area. The evaluation result indicated that the prediction error in large area was reducible to about
40 % of a single point error.

description: The impact of ion pressure dynamics on E x B mean flows is investigated. Using a simplified, two-dimensional, drift ordered fluid model in the thin-layer approximation, three stresses in addition to the Reynolds stress are shown to modify the E x B mean flow. These additional terms in the stress tensor all require ion pressure fluctuations. Quasi-linear analysis show that these additional stresses are as important as the Reynolds stress, and hence must be taken into account in analysis of transport barriers in which sheared E x B mean flows are key ingredients.
The plight of geological collections in the Australian tertiary education system

description: A 1975 report identified the areas of geology and anthropology as being the two most likely to develop collections in Australian Universities. Since then Australia has seen a relative decline of the traditional resource-based economy and a lessening demand for geology graduates. Over the last decade, but particularly since 1996, the restructuring of the tertiary education sector has meant that university based collections in areas that do not attract a significant student load, such as geology, are in danger because of a lack of adequate resources for their effective management. Staff levels are an indicator of resources available for management of collections. The 1998 Transforming Cinderella Collections report showed some eight staff Australia-wide responsible for just over 1 million specimens. A mere four years from that time and these staff numbers are now much reduced. Many large collections have no staff and are essentially inaccessible. Whilst the large number specimens required for undergraduate teaching do not require advanced information management systems, those that result from basic research do. Without adequate management systems and strategies, the knowledge base of the earth sciences in Australia is at risk.

In recent years, university collections have attracted considerable interest by both academics and general public. This interest has been highlighted by well-attended exhibitions and well-funded projects for the utilization of collections. A central role in this renewed interest has been played by the so-called 'new media', which provides new ways to access collections worldwide as resources for research and teaching. This paper presents an overview of current collections of German universities and introduces various projects involving digital media.

title: The assessment of the mechanical and physical properties of in situ timber
Creators: name: Bather, Mike
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: The estimation of the properties of in situ timber elements is an essential part of the structural appraisal of many existing buildings and structures around the world. Current methods of doing this are (i) inappropriate, as they utilise visual grading codes of practice intended for use on large batches of new timber and not for use on individual pieces of timber, (ii) inaccurate, as the visual grading parameters used are only weakly correlated with timber’s mechanical and physical properties, and finally, (iii) imprecise, as they utilise strength classification, which groups all timber into a small number of classes with associated characteristic properties. Additionally, no current methods of NDT nor SDT adequately account for the immense variability of in situ timber in the UK to estimate properties in accordance with the Eurocodes. Therefore, better methods are needed.

This study (i) researches the contexts and background of in situ structural timber in the UK and (ii) takes a practical structural engineering approach to develop models that combine visual observations, NDT and SDT to estimate characteristic values of MoE, MoR and density, in a manner consistent with the Eurocodes and in a way that accounts for the variability of in situ timber. This exploratory study also demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the practice of treating knots as voids, as the resulting strength reduction factors are shown to be only very weakly correlated with MoR (regardless of whether the factors are derived from first principles or calculated using the US code ASTM D245).

Statistical techniques such as quantile regression (and bootstrapping to find the confidence intervals around quantiles) are applied to timber data in a novel way to develop new predictive models. New knot measures and ratios are developed with predictive powers superior to current measures and ratios. Significant factors such as selection bias and potential prior grading and the deterioration of wood during its life in service are considered and accounted for in novel ways in relation to the models. The study is based on a sample of new UK grown structural sized timber joists of four lesser used species (n=527) and so, further work is required to improve the models. The most useful outcomes of the study are (i) a methodology for the appraisal of the properties of in situ timber in accordance with the Eurocodes and (ii) an outline of what is required in the future to improve them.

done according to technical norms and standards.
In Italy different institutions are working together to define how to fulfil the guidelines expressed in the 2009 EU
Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources. The Italian certification, will be managed by
regional administrations supported by ENEA, the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable
Economic Development. As art. 13 foresees, the installers of PV plants will receive a certification after having followed a
training programme and an examination of competences by the institutional bodies. The “certified installers” will be
inserted in a national register under control of ENEA and of the regional administrations.
ENEA with Mesos, which is an ENEA spin off, have set up blended system courses (e-learning and face to face lessons)
which are qualified by CEPAS, a national professional certification body.

description: The existence of potentials for relativistic Schrodinger operators allowing eigenvalues embedded in the essential spectrum is a long-standing open problem. We construct Neumann-Wigner type potentials for the massive relativistic Schrodinger operator in one and three dimensions for which an embedded eigenvalue exists. We show that in the non-relativistic limit these potentials converge to the classical Neumann-Wigner and Moses-Tuan potentials, respectively. For the massless operator in one dimension we construct two families of potentials, different by the parities of the (generalized) eigenfunctions, for which an eigenvalue equal to zero or a zero-resonance exists, dependent on the rate of decay of the corresponding eigenfunctions. We obtain explicit formulae and observe unusual decay behaviours due to the non-locality of the operator.

title: Assessing and addressing unmet needs in people affected by brain tumours
Creators: name: Afseth, Janyne Dawn
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: Introduction
Guidelines recommend that brain tumour patients have their unmet needs assessed by a Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA), followed by appropriate support and care to maximise self-management. The aim of this study was to determine the role of HNA amongst brain tumour patients and their families.

Methods
A sequential mixed methods approach with three distinct phases was used. The first phase undertook a systematic review of available tools for HNA in brain tumours to determine if there was a psychometrically valid tool. This was followed by qualitative interviews and focus groups that explored patients’ and carers’ experiences and perceptions of unmet needs as well as strategies and support to assess and address these. The next phase was a realist synthesis of the HNA programmes in brain tumour patients which explored how HNA programmes could work. The thesis was underpinned by realist methods which were used to draw each of the phases of the thesis together.

Results
It was determined that there was no psychometrically valid tool that could be recommended for HNA in this group. Furthermore, there are significant challenges in using a patient completed HNA due to cognitive difficulties. Patients with brain tumours have diverse needs, but also unique compared to most other cancers due to the neurocognitive impairments. These also impact the carers as neurocognitive changes can be distressing but also cause a higher carer burden, therefore carers need specific support in their role. While the HNA as a process is useful in addressing unmet needs and enabling more self-management; the existing programme for HNA in UK is not suitable.

Conclusions
This thesis supported that a modified HNA programme may be beneficial in meeting the needs of brain tumour patients. Due to neuro-cognitive impairments, an assessment of the patient’s ability to self-manage, combined with inclusion and support of carers in HNA programmes for brain tumour patients, is needed to maximise the potential for self-management. The assessment and management of distress as well as increased access to the neuro-oncology team is also recommended. This research has proposed an alternative, novel practice-based model integrating the findings of this research.

description: With attractive incentive scheme, Italy is at present the world’s second largest PV market.
The ongoing phase of the Italian “Conto energia” Programme is in fact resulting in a very large
participation and, now, in a sharply increase of PV installations. Moreover, its recent new phase (the fourth
one of Programme) adopted with Ministerial Decree of 5 May 2011 has defined the new incentive tariffs for
photovoltaic generation in the period 2011- 2016. Despite the tariff decrease, the pay back time
corresponding to the new tariffs and the system prices has continued to attract many solar investors.
In this framework, up to now the power installed during 2011 sums to about 6 GW and is reasonably
expected to grow up to 7,5 by the end of this year. Comparing the total power installed during 2010
(2,3 GW), it is expected a growth rate around 320 % as respect to the previous year.
From the technical point of view, the main barrier to the increase of PV installations is represented by the
electric grid that become to be not adequate in some regions of south Italy, where the installed power of
wind turbines and photovoltaic power stations has reached almost the same order of magnitude of peak
load. As a consequence, the growth of the Italian photovoltaic market must be accompanied by an adequate
plan for MV and HV grid development and management.

description: A search for squarks and gluinos in final states containing hadronic jets, missing transverse momentum but no electrons or muons is presented. The data were recorded in 2015 by the ATLAS experiment in $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV proton--proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation was observed in 3.2 fb$^{-1}$ of analyzed data. Results are interpreted within simplified models that assume R-parity is conserved and the neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle. An exclusion limit at the 95% confidence level on the mass of the gluino is set at 1.51 TeV for a simplified model incorporating only a gluino octet and the lightest neutralino, assuming the lightest neutralino is massless. For a simplified model involving the strong production of mass-degenerate first- and second-generation squarks, squark masses below 1.03 TeV are excluded for a massless lightest neutralino. These limits substantially extend the region of supersymmetric parameter space excluded by previous measurements with the ATLAS detector.

description: Thin film microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) solar cell is an attractive material because of its extended
response in the long wavelength region. It suffers less from degradation on prolonged exposure to light when compared
with amorphous silicon. Based on these features, μc-Si:H solar cells are implemented as bottom cell the so-called
micromorph tandem cells for enhanced light absorption resulting in a higher conversion efficiency. This contribution
investigates the effect of seeding the growth of μc-Si:H deposited by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour
deposition (rf PECVD) on the spectral response of μc-Si:H solar cells. We correlate the crystalline volume fraction of the
absorber layer to the silane concentration used during the deposition and thickness of the seed layer. Our results show
that with seeding of both the p- and i-layers, the overall solar-cell performance increases mainly due to extended spectral
response of the solar cell in the long wavelength region of the solar spectrum. The Jsc is increased from 173 A/m2 to 239
A/m2. On the other hand, the Voc and fill factor drop by 11% and 2.9%, respectively. By means of bifacial Raman
measurement, we demonstrate that the seed layers help to reduce the amorphous incubation layer and lead to a more
rapid crystallinity development in growth direction. We show that the crystallinity profile in the growth direction is more
uniform when compared with a μc-Si:H layer deposited without seeding.

description: The energy efficiency aims of the German government lead to a further extension of renewable
energies and especially photovoltaic energy in low voltage grids. Furthermore the National platform electro mobility
has set up the German electro mobility strategy. Until 2050 an amount of 40.000.000 Electric vehicles shall exist. The
result is an energy supply which will be volatile on its generation and consumption side. Superior effects are the
decreasing of the security of supply (if fossil power plants are substituted one by one by renewable power plants) as
well as the generation of big amounts of surplus energy from renewable in times with a low demand for energy.
Inferior effects are occurring voltage stability problems in 400V low voltage grids as well as transformer overload
problems resulting from high amounts of time synchronous charging Electric vehicles. In this paper strategies for
stabilizing the 400V low voltage grids are analyzed and compared.

description: The topological properties of periodically driven many-body systems often have no static analogs and defy a simple description based on the effective Hamiltonian. To explore the emergent edge modes in driven p-wave superconductors in two dimensions, we analyze a toy model of Kitaev chains (one-dimensional spinless p-wave superconductors with Majorana edge states) coupled by time-periodic hopping. We show that with proper driving, the coupled Kitaev chains can turn into a fully gapped superconductor which is analogous to the $p_x+ip_y$ state but has two, rather than one, chiral edge modes. A different driving protocol turns it into a gapless superconductor with isolated point nodes and completely flat edge states at quasienergy $ω=0$ or $π/T$, with $T$ the driving period. The time evolution operator $U(k_x,k_y,t)$ of the toy model is computed exactly to yield the phase bands. And the "topological singularities" of the phase bands are exhausted and compared to those of a periodically driven Hofstadter model which features counter-propagating chiral edge modes. These examples demonstrate the unique edge states in driven superconducting systems and suggest driving as a potentially fruitful route to engineer new topological superconductors.

description: Oerlikon Solar introduced in 2007 the micromorph technology [1] into the photovoltaic market.
Oerlikon Solar’s strategy adapted the PECVD KAI deposition systems, approved in mass production and developed
originally for TFT display applications, to thin film silicon solar cells. Hereby the base of Oerlikon’s thin film silicon
solar device technology origins from the long-term research carried out at the Institute of Microtechnique of the
University of Neuchatel (IMT-NE) over the last 25 years on amorphous and microcrystalline silicon. This is based on
the well-known very high frequency glow discharge (VHF-GD) deposition technique [2]. Oerlikon Solar is
developing and providing mass fabrication equipment including processes for entire thin film silicon manufacturing
lines for module areas of 1.3m x 1.1m. This has led to successful production lines on various customer sites in
Europe and Asia. In order to successfully implement the solar cell and module processes developed within R&D
Oerlikon Solar into a production line, the PECVD reactor is continuously adapted and improved such that the process
parameters can be transferred straightforward into the mass production equipment. The reactor development plays a
key role to enable this transfer. Relevant parameters for optimum performance of the PECVD equipment are the
uniformity of the deposition over the entire surface of the substrate as well as the deposition rate.
In addition to optimum deposition quality the reactors need to be cleaned after each deposition step in order to
provide for any deposition run identical starting conditions. This in turn is prerequisite for stable and reproducible
run to run deposition results.
Conformal transformations in modified teleparallel theories of gravity revisited

description: It is well known that one cannot apply a conformal transformation to $f(T)$ gravity to obtain a minimally coupled scalar field model, and thus no Einstein frame exists for $f(T)$ gravity. Furthermore nonminimally coupled "teleparallel dark energy models" are not conformally equivalent to $f(T)$ gravity. However, it can be shown that $f(T)$ gravity is conformally equivalent to a teleparallel phantom scalar field model with a nonminimal coupling to a boundary term only. In this work, we extend this analysis by considering a recently studied extended class of models, known as $f(T,B)$ gravity, where $B$ is a boundary term related to the divergence of a contraction of the torsion tensor. We find that nonminimally coupled "teleparallel dark energy models" are conformally equivalent to either an $f(T,B)$ or $f(B)$ gravity model. Finally conditions on the functional form of $f(T,B)$ gravity are derived to allow it to be transformed to particular nonminimally coupled scalar field models.

description: We analyse basic power generation characteristics of solar PV capacities in the Transmission System
of the Czech Republic EPS. The PV power is simulated using satellite-based solar radiation and air temperature
with 15-minute time step, as available in the SolarGIS database. In the simulation we assume a scenario of
1000 MWp capacity so that the results can be easily scaled up. The statistics relates to the period 2004 to 2010. It was
found that variability of PV power in the EPS transmission system is relatively low and predictable. The shape of
power curves at the level of EPS transmission system is relatively smooth, regardless of weather. The unpredictable
component of photovoltaic power generation contributes to the overall uncertainty in the EPS transmission system
by the amplitude of approx. ±7% relative to the nominal PV power. These results cannot be mechanically transposed,
as they are country specific.
Test of quantum thermalization in the two-dimensional transverse-field Ising model

description: We study the quantum relaxation of the two-dimensional transverse-field Ising model after global quenches with a real-time variational Monte Carlo method and address the question whether this non-integrable, two-dimensional system thermalizes or not. We consider both interaction quenches in the paramagnetic phase and field quenches in the ferromagnetic phase and compare the time-averaged probability distributions of non-conserved quantities like magnetization and correlation functions to the thermal distributions according to the canonical Gibbs ensemble obtained with quantum Monte Carlo simulations at temperatures defined by the excess energy in the system. We find that the occurrence of thermalization crucially depends on the quench parameters: While after the interaction quenches in the paramagnetic phase thermalization can be observed, our results for the field quenches in the ferromagnetic phase show clear deviations from the thermal system. These deviations increase with the quench strength and become especially clear comparing the shape of the thermal and the time-averaged distributions, the latter ones indicating that the system does not completely lose the memory of its initial state even for strong quenches. We discuss our results with respect to a recently formulated theorem on generalized thermalization in quantum systems.

description: Some conventional light controlling elements, including anti-reflection (AR) layer, diffraction grating,
distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), and metal reflector, were utilized to construct efficient light trapping structures for
thin film silicon solar cells. The light trapping effects were verified by the numerical calculation via rigorous
coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). In particular, the position influence of the diffraction grating was investigated
carefully. As examples, an indium tin oxide (ITO) front AR layer, an ITO diffraction grating, a heavily doped a-
Si:H/ITO DBR and an Ag reflector were adopted to make up such light trapping structures on a solar cell with a 2.0-
μm-thick μc-Si as the absorption layer. The results show that the spectrally weighted absorptance  of the solar cell
for the air mass 1.5 (AM1.5) solar spectrum can be enhanced greatly by the proposed light trapping structures,
especially when the diffraction grating is not on the solar cell back surface, but is just underneath the front AR layer.
This means that it is preferred to apply the diffraction grating on the solar cell front surface. The involved mechanism
was analyzed. And some possible fabrication processes to realize such light trapping structure by traditional
fabrication methods were discussed.

description: Cavity-optomechanical systems realized in single-crystal diamond are poised to benefit from its extraordinary material properties, including low mechanical dissipation and a wide optical transparency window. Diamond is also rich in optically active defects, such as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) and silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers, which behave as atom-like systems in the solid state. Predictions and observations of coherent coupling of the NV electronic spin to phonons via lattice strain has motivated the development of diamond nanomechanical devices aimed at realization of hybrid quantum systems, in which phonons provide an interface with diamond spins. In this work, we demonstrate diamond optomechanical crystals (OMCs), a device platform to enable such applications, wherein the co-localization of ~ 200 THz photons and few to 10 GHz phonons in a quasi-periodic diamond nanostructure leads to coupling of an optical cavity field to a mechanical mode via radiation pressure. In contrast to other material systems, diamond OMCs operating in the resolved-sideband regime possess large intracavity photon capacity (> 10$^5$) and sufficient optomechanical coupling rates to reach a cooperativity of ~ 20 at room temperature, allowing for the observation of optomechanically induced transparency and the realization of large amplitude optomechanical self-oscillations.
