The glory of Rome: depictions of architecture on the Column of Trajan
Creators: name: Wolfram, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Over three hundred depictions of architectural structures appear throughout the Column of Trajan frieze, illustrating both Roman and Dacian fortifications and settlements. These depictions have seen little thematic analysis in previous scholarship. I argue that the architecture on the Column draws a purposeful contrast between superior Roman civilization and primitive, barbarian Dacian culture. Most architecture on the frieze is too generic to serve as any specific topographical marker. Rather, depictions of civilian settlements favor building types (amphitheater, monumental arch) and construction techniques (ashlar masonry, concrete vaulting, columnar façade) that immediately associate the peaceful towns with Roman urbanism. Likewise, the unrealistic but consistent depiction of all Roman fortifications as stone-built emphasizes their permanence and technical achievement. Dacian architecture, meanwhile, only accounts for roughly one-fourth of the frieze's architectural representations. Clearly non-Roman building types and wooden constructions, often shown in flames, effectively imply the inferiority and transience of Dacian civilization.

description: Eine Lobby für die Elementarpädagogik in Österreich Lobbying bzw. Lobbyismus ist eine Form der Interessenvertretung. Dabei wird versucht, die öffentliche Meinung sowohl auf politischer Ebene als auch medial zu beeinflussen. In Österreich ist die elementare Bildung im Gegensatz zu den Schulen nicht dem Bund, sondern den Ländern unterstellt, was wiederum zu neun verschiedenen Kinderbildungs- und -betreuungsgesetzen in Österreich geführt hat. Dementsprechend gibt es kein einheitliches Auftreten der elementaren Bildung in Österreich. Im Gegenteil: In den einzelnen Bundesländern ist es den Kommunen frei überlassen, inwieweit sie Einrichtungen finanziell fördern und in der Öffentlichkeit präsentieren. Hinzu kommt, dass die Kinderbetreuung zu den klassischen Frauenberufen zählt. Hering (vgl. 2006, S. 236-280) beschreibt, was seit dem vorigen Jahrhundert bis heute der Realität entspricht: PädagogInnen waren rund um die Uhr im Einsatz, nicht wenige waren sozial isoliert, allzu oft wurden sie von jüngeren Frauen und ihren männlichen Kollegen als Fürsorgetanten verspottet. Sie waren Relikte eines zölibatären Lebens, als dies offiziell schon längst abgeschafft war. Der Status und die Bezahlung sind auch heute noch weiblich. Das Paradoxon, dass durch die Initiative von Frauen die Verberuflichung der Sozialen Arbeit eingeleitet worden ist, der damit entstandene Beruf aber – eben wegen seiner weiblichen Überformung – bis heute nicht den Status erlangt hat wie vergleichbare Professionen, scheint nicht auflösbar zu sein. Der Wirtschaft ist die Notwendigkeit der frühkindlichen Betreuung mittlerweile bewusst und die Kinderbetreuung erregt auch als Geschäftsmodell zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit. Diese Masterarbeit soll beleuchten, wie die Branche der elementaren Bildung und Betreuung in Österreich ein strategisches Marketingkonzept zur Besserstellung und erfolgreichen Umsetzung ihrer Ziele erarbeiten, umsetzen und somit für sich nutzen kann. Zudem sollen die drängendsten Probleme und Herausforderungen der Einrichtungen aufgezeigt werden, um zu beantworten, welche gemeinsamen Ziele es in der Elementarpädagogik benötigt, denn ohne definiertes Ziel ist eine dahingehende Wegbeschreitung kaum möglich. „Wer nicht weiß, wohin er will, darf sich nicht wundern, wenn er woanders ankommt!“ (wird Mark Twain zugeschrieben)

description: Linear statistics, a random variable build out of the sum of the evaluation of functions at the eigenvalues of a N times N random matrix,sum[j=1 to N]f(xj) or tr f(M), is an ubiquitous statistical characteristics in random matrix theory. Hermitian random matrix ensembles, under the eigenvalue-eigenvector decomposition give rise to the joint probability density functions of N random variables. We show that if f(.) is a polynomial of degree K, then the variance of trf(M), is of the form,sum[n=1 to K] n(d[n])square, and d[n] is related to the expansion coefficients c[n] of the polynomial f(x) =sum[n=0 to K] c[n] b Pn(x), where Pn(x) are polynomials of degree n, orthogonal with respect to the weights 1/[(b-x)(x-a)]^(1/2), [(b -x)(x -a)]^(1/2), [(b-x)(x-a)]^(1/2)/x; (0 < a < x < b), [(b-x)(x-a)]^(1/2)/[x(1-x)] ; (0 < a < x < b < 1), respectively.

description: The rise of bottled water (BW) consumption is a dental public health concern. This mixed-methods study aimed to 1) identify trends and determinants of water-drinking practices among children presenting to an academic dental institution over 15 years, and 2) understand Latino community members’ experiences with fluoridated community water (CW) and views on strategies to promote its consumption.
      Analyses of electronic health record data showed that BW consumption increased from 17% in 2004 to 42% in 2016 (n=2,920, P<0.05). Medicaid-enrolled children [prevalence ratio (PR)=2.1; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.8-2.4] and those living in rural areas (PR=1.3, 95% CI=1.1-1.5) were significantly more likely to consume BW over CW than those without Medicaid and those in urban areas, respectively.
      Interviews with 15 Latino parents and key informants revealed a ‘lack of knowledge about safety and fluoridation of CW’ and ‘ingrained upbringings that devalued CW.’ Spanish-speaking health professionals may be promising promoters of CW consumption.

description: On the one hand, processors for hearing aids are highly specialized for audio processing, on the other hand they have to meet challenging hardware restrictions. This paper aims to provide an overview of the requirements, architectures, and implementations of these processors. Special attention is given to the increasingly common application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs). The main focus of this paper lies on hardware-related aspects such as the processor architecture, the interfaces, the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology, and the operating conditions. The different hearing aid implementations are compared in terms of power consumption, silicon area, and computing performance for the algorithms used. Challenges for the design of future hearing aid processors are discussed based on current trends and developments.

description: Insbesondere bei Dienstleistungsbetrieben stehen Erfolg und Misserfolg in kausalem Zusammenhang mit der Leistungsbereitschaft der MitarbeiterInnen. Ausgelöst von subjektiv erlebter Unzufriedenheit sind ungenutzte Leistungspotenziale und emotionale Distanzierung von ArbeitnehmerInnen gegenüber der Unternehmung oftmals Auswirkungen der inneren Kündigung. Ziel dieser Forschungsarbeit ist es, die auslösenden Determinanten, die Verlaufsstrukturen sowie die Auswirkungen der inneren Kündigung zu identifizieren, um daraus intentionale Präventivstrategien zur Steigerung der emotionalen Bindung abzuleiten. Die empirische Forschung erfolgt anhand problemzentrierter Experteninterviews und fokussiert dabei sowohl die Meinungen und Sichtweisen Betroffener der inneren Kündigung, als auch die von Personalverantwortlichen. Aus den Ergebnissen der empirischen Untersuchung lässt sich schließen, dass die Schaffung zusätzlicher Identifikationsmöglichkeiten mit der Gesamtunternehmung durch Anpassung der Unternehmens- und Führungskultur von großer Bedeutung ist. In Kontext der Mitarbeitermotivation wird jedoch insbesondere der Führungskraft eine zentrale Rolle zugesprochen, sowohl als auslösende Determinante der inneren Kündigung, als auch für eine Verantwortlichkeit zur Prävention. Eine entsprechende Sensibilisierung zur Thematik der inneren Kündigung, sowie eine Adaptierung der (Führungs-) Kompetenzen ist für ein zufriedenstellendes Führungsverhalten unentbehrlich. Für eine Stabilisierung der zwischenmenschlichen Basis zwischen Führungskraft und MitarbeiterInnen und eine Identifizierung möglicher Fehlbelastungen gilt die Intensivierung der interpersonellen Kommunikation durch reziproken Informationsaustausch als besonders relevant. Zudem stärkt individuelle Mitarbeiterförderung durch Partizipation und Autonomie die organisationale Identifikation. Die komplexe Thematik der inneren Kündigung verdeutlicht somit, dass der Faktor Mensch neben einer bedeutenden Ressource, ebenso eine unbeständige Variable für unternehmerischen Erfolg darstellt. In diesem Sinne müssen, für eine allseits zufriedenstellende Gesamtsituation, zielgerichtete organisationale und personalentwicklungsspezifische Maßnahmen für alle beteiligten Elemente auf allen beteiligten Ebenen eingesetzt werden.

(Mädler 1939: 92). Mai & Walther (1988: 144) related this fossil-species with extant species P. lapathifolia (Linnaeus 1753: 360) Delarbre (1800: 519), but treated it as a distinct extinct taxon widespread in the Pliocene and Interglacial sediments of Western Europe. Accordingly a new combination is here proposed.

description: The threshold scan of top pair production at a future lepton collider allows to determine several Standard Model parameters with very high precision. The recent completion of the third-order QCD corrections to the inclusive top-pair production cross section demonstrated that strong dynamics are under control. We investigate effects from P-wave production and Higgs contributions at third order and from QED and the nonresonant production of the physical $W^+W^-b\bar{b}$ final state at first order. We discuss the sensitivity of the cross section to the top mass, width and Yukawa coupling as well as to the strong coupling.

description: This thesis explores caricatures of elite individuals produced in France and Britain between 1740 and 1795. It argues that the urban public spheres of France and Britain were increasingly critical of the elite in this period, and that caricatures were a significant means of expressing this criticism. It is a comparative study of British and French caricatures, analysing the similarities in popular urban attitudes towards the elite in both countries, and the ways in which these attitudes were visually depicted. The eighteenth century saw significant expansion of a public sphere which facilitated widespread discussion about the social and political makeup of society in both countries. Scholarship of eighteenth-century European caricature has largely focused on 1789-1800. By examining sources which cross from the ancien régime and into the early years of the French Revolution, it becomes possible to explore how shifting popular attitudes towards the elite were manifested in visual culture. By analysing recurrent motifs in British and French caricatures, this study argues that the reiteration of these motifs constituted a ‘language’ by which caricaturists communicated with viewers in a visual format. In doing so, it identifies, and assesses the significance of, the following key themes: the development of the urban public sphere, the emergence of a modern celebrity culture, and changing cultural attitudes towards the elite. The thesis contributes to recent historiography on eighteenth-century celebrity and the public sphere by exploring how caricatures participated in the development of these cultures, particularly in the capital cities of London and Paris. It also considers the extent to which British and French caricatures contributed to contemporary popular discourse on the purpose and traditional roles of elite members of society. Overall, the thesis argues that caricatures were a crucial mode of public discourse on the socio-political elite in France and Britain between 1740 and 1795.
Relationship between religiosity and thought action fusion: a behavioral paradigm
Creators: name: Berman, Noah Chase
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Research investigating the origin of cognitive biases in OCD has demonstrated, through self-report measures, that higher levels of religiosity are positively correlated with thought action fusion (TAF). The current study examines the relationship between religiosity and TAF using a behavioral paradigm, in which participants are asked to imagine a loved one experiencing a positive or negative event. Seventy-three undergraduates (43 Highly Religious Christians, 30 Atheists/Agnostics) were included. Highly religious Christians were found to believe that thinking about and writing a negative event increased the degree of likelihood, responsibility, and moral wrongness of the event, in relation to Atheists/Agnostics. No religious group differences were found for the positive events. These results suggest that higher degrees of religiosity may act as a vulnerability factor in the misinterpretation of one's thoughts as overly important, significant, or threatening, contributing to the possible development of an obsession. Limitations, future directions, and implications for understanding OCD are discussed.

title: VLSI architecture for adaptive digital filtering utilising number theoretic transform
Creators: name: Amir-Alikhani, Hamid
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the design of a frequency adaptive digital filter in Very Large Scale Integration using the Number Theoretic Transform. The properties of residue numbering systems are investigated, and particularly the possible advantages occured from parallelism, operations without the need for carry, and the absence of round-off errors. The conclusion is reached that this numbering system is in some circumstances more suitable for high speed processing in Very Large Scale Integration. Transform techniques in a finite field are then examined to determine how they could perform filtering operation more efficiently in terms of the number of arithmetic operations required compared with other techniques such as Fast Fourier Transform. Adaptive filtering in the frequency domain using the Number Theoretic Transform, and in particular Fermat Number Transform, with appropriate formulae for filter weight adaptation using the Least Mean Square algorithm are presented. Several result show that the frequency mean square error as a performance index results in convergence to an optimal solution. A complexity' ratio is used to ascertain that frequency adaptive digital filters need less computational power (number of arithmetic operations) than time domain adaptive filters. A design of special purpose processor using Very Large Scale Integration technology is described, several structures using pipelining and systolic arrays are presented which support the main Very large Scale Integration design features. A table look-up approach using Programmable Logic Arrays (PLAs) for processing elements and a measurements of system performance regarding time/area complexity' are described. Finally, it is concluded that, with suitable further development, a Very' Large Scale Integration architecture for frequency adaptive digital filter using number theoretic transform which has high sampling rate, regular internal structure and capability to parallel devices could likely be achieved.
On the viability of quintessential inflationary models from observational data
Creators: name: de Haro, Jaume
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Assuming that primordial density fluctuationas are nearly Gaussian, from a frequentist viewpoint, the two-dimensional marginalized joint coincidence contour in the plane $(n_s,r)$ (being $n_s$ the spectral index and $r$ the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations), without the presence of running is usually used to test the viability of the inflationary models. The models that provide, between $50$ and $60$ e-folds, a curve in that plane, which lies outside the $95.5 \%$ C.L are ruled out. I will basically argue that the this low number of e-folds is unjustified, and that models leading to a theoretical value of the running different from zero must be checked with observational data allowing the running. When both prescriptions are taken into account, dealing in the context of quintessential inflation, i.e. when the potential is a combination of an inflationary with a quintessential one that leads to a deflationary regime, inflationary models such as the quartic or the Higgs potential are allowed.

description: In this work, we develop a mixed-mode phase-field fracture model employing a parallel-adaptive quasi-monolithic framework. In nature, failure of rocks and rock-like materials is usually accompanied by the propagation of mixed-mode fractures. To address this aspect, some recent studies have incorporated mixed-mode fracture propagation criteria to classical phase-field fracture models, and new energy splitting methods were proposed to split the total crack driving energy into mode-I and mode-II parts. As extension in this work, a splitting method for masonry-like materials is modified and incorporated into the mixed-mode phase-field fracture model. A robust, accurate and efficient parallel-adaptive quasi-monolithic framework serves as basis for the implementation of our new model. Three numerical tests are carried out, and the results of the new model are compared to those of existing models, demonstrating the numerical robustness and physical soundness of the new model. In total, six models are computationally analyzed and compared.

description: We report on theoretical investigations of scattering asymmetry vs. incidence of carriers through exchange barriers and magnetic tunnel junctions made of semiconductors involving spin-orbit interaction. By an analytical 2?2 spin model, we show that, when Dresselhaus interaction is included in the conduction band of antiparallel magnetized electrodes, the electrons can undergo a large difference of transmission depending on the sign of their incident in-plane wavevector. In particular, the transmission is fully quenched at some points of the Brillouin zone for specific in-plane wavevectors and not for the opposite. Moreover, it is universally scaled by a unique function independent of the spin-orbit strength. This particular feature is reproduced by a 14 ? 14 band k ? p model showing, in addition, corresponding effects in the valence band and highlighting the robustness of the effect, which even persists for a single magnetic electrode. Upon tunneling, electrons undergo an asymmetrical deflection which results in the occurrence of a transverse current, giving rise to a so-called Tunnel Hall Effect.

description: Seit vielen Jahren ist das Gesundheitswesen mit Einsparungen und Abteilungsschließungen im ländlichen Bereich konfrontiert. Die Systemmängel, die bereits seit einigen Jahren bestehen, und der hohe Wettbewerbsdruck machen eine radikale Veränderung in der Organisation von Krankenanstalten erforderlich. Dabei zeigt sich ein Optimierungsbedarf bei Prozessen und Abläufen im Umgang mit Ressourcen unterschiedlicher Arten. In erster Linie ist es von Bedeutung, die vorhandenen Ressourcen schonend, effizient und effektiv einzusetzen, in weiterer Folge ist es ein Ziel, die Kosten im Krankenhauswesen zu minimieren und den PatientInnen die beste Qualität in der medizinischen und pflegerischen Behandlung zu bieten. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht die unterschiedlichen Führungs- und Managementkonzepte, die eine Lean-Implementierung befürworten. Dabei wird erforscht, welche Managementkonzepte besonders hilfreich sind. In weiterer Folge wird untersucht, welche speziellen Kompetenzen Führungskräfte und auch MitarbeiterInnen für ein erfolgreiches Lean Management mitbringen müssen. Diese Betrachtungen werden anhand der bestehenden Fachliteratur unternommen. Die zugehörige empirische Forschung wurde durch qualitative Interviews mit ExpertInnen aus dem In- und Ausland durchgeführt. Die Forschungsergebnisse in dieser Masterarbeit zeigen, dass Lean Management ein erhebliches Potential dafür hat, im Krankenhauswesen erfolgreich eingesetzt zu werden. Für die Implementierung dieses Managementsystems sind die Führungskräfte und MitarbeiterInnen die entscheidenden Erfolgstreiber. Die wichtigsten Management- Komponenten sind, dass die Führungskräfte eine gemeinsame Führung verinnerlichen, nach flachen Hierarchien streben und den MitarbeiterInnen Verantwortung übergeben und Vertrauen entgegenbringen. Der Sinn dieser gemeinsamen Führungskultur besteht darin, Verantwortungsbereiche in der gesamten Unternehmensorganisation zu verteilen und vielen MitarbeiterInnen die Möglichkeit zu bieten, eigenverantwortlich Entscheidungen zu treffen. Informationen werden von den Führungskräften transparent und fließend weitergegeben und die Führungskräfte wirken unterstützend in der Ideenfindung. Ziel eines solchen Führungs- und Managementkonzeptes ist es, fähige und motivierte MitarbeiterInnen zu fördern und weiterzuentwickeln, um mehr Handlungsflexibilität, Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit und Patientenzufriedenheit zu gewährleisten.

The Global Burden of Anthropogenic Ozone and Particulate Matter Air Pollution on Premature Human Mortality
Creators: name: Casper, Susan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Tropospheric ozone and fine particulate matter (PM) have increased significantly since preindustrial times and have been demonstrated to cause negative health impacts, including cardiovascular and respiratory mortality. Previous estimates of the global burden of outdoor PM on premature human mortality have been based on air quality measurements. Here, we use results from a global atmospheric chemistry and transport model simulation of ozone and PM concentrations in the preindustrial (1860) and the present (2000) to drive human mortality estimates. This method includes rural areas where measurements are often unavailable and avoids making assumptions for background air pollution. Depending on the concentration threshold applied, anthropogenic ozone is associated with about 282,000 to 362,000 global premature cardiopulmonary mortalities, with uncertainty ranging from 135,000 to 551,000 mortalities. Anthropogenic PM is associated with about 1.3 to 2.4 million global premature cardiopulmonary and lung cancer mortalities, with uncertainty ranging from 465,000 to 3.8 million mortalities.

description: Photocurrent measurements provide a powerful means of studying the spatially resolved optoelectronic and electrical properties of a material or device. Generally speaking there are two classes of mechanism for photocurrent generation: those involving separation of electrons and holes, and thermoelectric effects driven by electron temperature gradients. Here we introduce a new member in the latter class: the photo-Nernst effect. In graphene devices in a perpendicular magnetic field we observe photocurrent generated uniformly along the free edges, with opposite sign at opposite edges. The signal is antisymmetric in field, shows a peak versus gate voltage at the neutrality point flanked by wings of opposite sign at low fields, and exhibits quantum oscillations at higher fields. These features are all explained by the Nernst effect associated with laser-induced electron heating. This photo-Nernst current provides a simple and clear demonstration of the Shockley-Ramo nature of long-range photocurrent generation in a gapless material.

In der vorliegenden Forschungsarbeit wurden die strategischen Möglichkeiten der Holzbauunternehmen untersucht, die ihnen das Outsourcing der Planungsleistungen bietet. Die wesentlichen Einflussfaktoren im Holzbau und die Vor- und Nachteile sowie die Chancen und Risiken des Outsourcings werden durch die Recherche der bestehenden Fachliteratur dargelegt. Die empirischen Untersuchungen erfolgen anhand von qualitativen ExpertInnen-Interviews. Es wurden zehn ExpertInnen in leitenden Positionen in Klein- und Mittelbetrieben der Holzbaubranche befragt. Die Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass der Bedarf an Planungs- und Engineering-Leistungen im Holzbau hoch ist. Die Anforderungen durch die Digitalisierung sind den Unternehmen bewusst. Viele sehen in diesem Bereich noch einen großen Aufholbedarf für ihr Unternehmen. Das Outsourcing der Planungsdienstleistungen ist für die meisten ExpertInnen nur in einzelnen Teilbereichen ein Thema. Die Werk- und Montageplanung wird als eine wesentliche Kompetenz für ein Holzbauunternehmen angesehen. Ein Outsourcing dieser Leistungen wird deshalb kritisch hinterfragt. Die strategischen Möglichkeiten, die sich in einigen Bereichen daraus ergeben könnten, werden von den ExpertInnen erkannt, jedoch meist noch nicht genutzt. Ein Vorteil wird in der Kosteneffizienz gesehen. Auch die Spezialisierung auf Teilbereiche wie die reine Montage kann, speziell für kleine Unternehmen, eine sinnvolle Strategie sein. In der Zusammenarbeit mit der Industrie als Partner für das Outsourcing von Planungsleistungen und auch als Systemlieferant besteht eine große Chance für Holzbaubetriebe, dem Fachkräftemangel zu begegnen und mit kleiner Unternehmensstruktur große Projekte umzusetzen. Die ExpertInnen sind sich jedoch einig, dass Outsourcing in der Holzbauplanung nur mit langfristigen, fairen Partnerschaften funktioniert.

description: Vehicle integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) systems have much different requirements on maximum power tracking compared to stationary setups. The occurrence of fast changes between full irradiance and shading are demanding. To evaluate the specific impact of these conditions on the specifications of VIPV systems, we conduct high resolution measurements of the incident irradiance onto a car body while driving. We investigate the influence of environmental conditions like weather, season and building density in an urban environment on measured irradiance on the roof and the sides of a vehicle. We find that weather conditions have the highest impact on the measured irradiance on the roof, while the relative irradiance on the side depends more heavily on the season. We also find that changes in irradiance occur predominantly at frequencies below 1 Hz, but changes with 100 Hz or more can occur in certain situations, with a tendency toward higher frequencies for sunny weather. This must be considered in maximum power point tracker design.

description: HD 140283 is a reference subgiant that is metal poor and confirmed to be a very old star. The abundances of this type of old star can constrain the nature and nucleosynthesis processes that occurred in its (even older) progenitors. The present study may shed light on nucleosynthesis processes yielding heavy elements early in the Galaxy. A detailed abundance analysis of a high-quality spectrum is carried out, with the intent of providing a reference on stellar lines and abundances of a very old, metal-poor subgiant. We aim to derive abundances from most available and measurable spectral lines. The analysis is carried out using high-resolution (R = 81 000) and high signal-to-noise ratio (800 < S/N/pixel < 3400) spectrum, in the wavelength range 3700 - 10475, obtained with a seven-hour exposure time, using the ESPaDOnS at the CFHT. The calculations in LTE were performed with the OSMARCS 1D atmospheric model and the spectrum synthesis code Turbospectrum, while the analysis in NLTE is based on the MULTI code. We present LTE abundances for 26 elements, and NLTE calculations for the species C I, O I, Na I, Mg I, Al I, K I, Ca I, Sr II, and Ba II lines. The abundance analysis provided an extensive line list suitable for metal-poor subgiant stars. The results for Li, CNO, alpha-, and iron peak elements are in good agreement with literature. The newly NLTE Ba abundance, along with a NLTE Eu correction and a 3D Ba correction from literature, leads to [Eu/Ba] = +0.59 +/- 0.18. This result confirms a dominant r-process contribution, possibly together with a very small contribution from the main s-process, to the neutron-capture elements in HD 140283. Overabundances of the lighter heavy elements and the high abundances derived for Ba, La, and Ce favour the operation of the weak r-process in HD 140283.

description: The results of compressive fatigue investigations on four high-strength concretes and their corresponding mortars are presented. The influences of coarse aggregates generally, the substitution of basalt coarse aggregate by granite, the addition of silica fume and the variation of the water to cement (w/c) ratio are investigated systematically. The numbers of cycles to failure, the developments of strain, stiffness, dissipated energy and acoustic emission hits are focused on in the analyses. The results clearly show that coarse aggregates can influence the fatigue behaviour of concretes in a negative way at higher stress levels and in a positive way at lower stress levels compared to mortars. The granite coarse aggregate decreases the adverse effect at higher stress levels due to its lower modulus of elasticity compared to that of the basalt aggregate. Silica fume improves the fatigue behaviour of concrete and mortar strongly. The increase of the w/c ratio and, thus, the increase in porosity reduces the fatigue resistance of concrete and mortar significantly, due to the weakening of the mortar matrix and of the interfacial transition zone. The results demonstrate the interaction of the coarse aggregates and the mortar matrix with their specific properties, which leads to a certain fatigue behaviour. The acoustic emission gives additional valuable strain-independent information of the damage processes occurring, possibly also on micro- and nanoscales.
Energetics of synchronization in coupled oscillators rotating on circular trajectories

description: We derive a concise and general expression of the energy dissipation rate for coupled oscillators rotating on circular trajectories by unifying the nonequilibrium aspects with the nonlinear dynamics via stochastic thermodynamics. In the framework of phase oscillator models, it is known that the even and odd parts of the coupling function express the effect on collective and relative dynamics, respectively. We reveal that the odd part always decreases the dissipation upon synchronization, while the even part yields a characteristic square-root change of the dissipation near the bifurcation point whose sign depends on the specific system parameters. We apply our theory to hydrodynamically coupled Stokes spheres rotating on circular trajectories that can be interpreted as a simple model of synchronization of coupled oscillators in a biophysical system. We show that the coupled Stokes spheres gain the ability to do more work on the surrounding fluid as the degree of phase synchronization increases.

description: 19. Reynoutria paleojaponica Pneva (1989: 1032).
 Type (lectotype designated here):— RUSSIAN FEDERATION. Primorye territory, Sirenevka (BIN 88/1319! (LE), figured in Pneva 2006a: pl. 2: fig. 2).
 Stratigraphy:— Upper Miocene (Ust’-Sujfunian suite).
 Status:— Leaves.
 IFPNI registration lsid:— EBE377FC-D174-4CAD-BFB9-196CA40DD488
 Note:— Pneva (1989: 1032) proposed the new fossil-species Reynoutria paleojaponica from the Neogene sediments of the Russian Far East (Upper Miocene) and Japan (Pliocene/Pleistocene of Ushigatani). She designated the figured specimen by Nathorst (1888: pl. 10, fig. 16 as Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. & Zucc.) as a holotype, but all the specimens of Nathorst (1888), which were originally deposited in the Geological Survey of the former Japanese Empire by Nathorst (‘in der der geologischen Landesuntersuchung Japan’s’), were later lost by a fire caused by Tokyo air raid during the World War II (K. Uemura, Honorary Research Fellow, National Museum of Nature & Science, Tokyo, Japan, in litt. to IFPNI Editorial Board). As a consequence, a lectotype is designated here for R. paleojaponica Pneva from the single preserved fossil specimen of Pneva, which originated from the Upper Miocene sediments of Russian Far East (not Pliocene/Pleistocene of Japanese Archipelago).

description: Ceramic composites composed of oxide materials have been synthesized by reaction sintering of Ca3Co4O9 with BiCuSeO nanosheets. In situ x-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses of the compound powders were conducted to understand the phase transformations during heating up to 1173 K. Further thermogravimetric analyses investigated the thermal stability of the composites and the completion of reaction sintering. The microstructure of the formed phases after reaction sintering and the composition of the composites were investigated for varying mixtures. Depending on the amount of BiCuSeO used, the phases present and their composition differed, having a significant impact on the thermoelectric properties. The increase of the electrical conductivity at a simultaneously high Seebeck coefficient resulted in a large power factor of 5.4 μW cm−1 K−2, more than twice that of pristine Ca3Co4O9.

description: BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity poses myriad health problems. A major gap exists in understanding caregivers' perceptions on the role of the dental team in providing weight-related counseling; our aim was to obtain in-depth information regarding caregivers' perceptions about the role of the dental team. METHODS: A qualitative investigation was completed using semi-structured, 45-minute interviews of English-speaking caregivers of children ages 2-6 under routine care in a dental school-based clinic. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using ATLAS/ti data analysis software. RESULTS: Caregivers expressed their perceptions of weight-related counseling with the dental team. Caregivers were: 1) highly receptive to the team's provision of caries-related nutrition counseling and 2) generally receptive to healthy-weight counseling, while emphasizing rapport and compassion was essential. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide an in-depth understanding of caregivers' perceptions regarding the dental team's approach. Caregivers emphasized a compassionate, family-centered approach is essential to providing weight-related counseling in a dental setting.
