description: Chemosensor 1 has been synthesized via a one-pot synthetic route incorporating anthracene and azomethine (HCN) units acting as signaling and binding units, respectively. Chemosensor 1 offered selective colorimetric and fluorometric response towards Al3+ and Hg2+ ions among other cations in CH3OH. Solution of 1 in methanol exhibited a naked eye color transition from yellow to colorless on addition of Al3+ and Hg2+ ions. In case of emission experiments, non-fluorescent solution of 1 showed major enhancement in intensity giving blue fluorescence for both metal ions. The limits of detection were calculated to be 1.04 and 0.8 µM for Al3+ and Hg2+, respectively, using fluorescence titrations. Further, reduced form of Schiff base 1 (2) has also been synthesized in order to compare the importance of azomethine (HCN) and (H2CNH) moieties in selective coordination. However, the reduced analogue 2 did not exhibit selective detection towards any of the ions.

description: We analyze random walk through fractal environments, embedded in 3-dimensional, permeable space. Particles travel freely and are scattered off into random directions when they hit the fractal. The statistical distribution of the flight increments (i.e. of the displacements between two consecutive hittings) is analytically derived from a common, practical definition of fractal dimension, and it turns out to approximate quite well a power-law in the case where the dimension D of the fractal is less than 2, there is though always a finite rate of unaffected escape. Random walks through fractal sets with D less or equal 2 can thus be considered as defective Levy walks. The distribution of jump increments for D > 2 is decaying exponentially. The diffusive behavior of the random walk is analyzed in the frame of continuous time random walk, which we generalize to include the case of defective distributions of walk-increments. It is shown that the particles undergo anomalous, enhanced diffusion for D_F < 2, the diffusion is dominated by the finite escape rate. Diffusion for D_F > 2 is normal for large times, enhanced though for small and intermediate times. In particular, it follows that fractals generated by a particular class of self-organized criticality (SOC) models give rise to enhanced diffusion. The analytical results are illustrated by Monte-Carlo simulations.

description: A rigorous theoretical investigation is made to study the characteristics of dust-acoustic (DA) waves (DAWs) in an electron depleted unmagnetized opposite polarity dusty plasma system that contains super-thermal ($κ$-distributed) ions, mobile positively and negatively charged dust grains for the first time. The reductive perturbation method is employed to obtain the NLSE to explore the modulational instability (MI) conditions for DAWs as well as the formation and characteristics of gigantic rogue waves. The nonlinear and dispersion properties of the dusty plasma medium are the prime reasons behind the formation of rogue waves. The height and thickness of the DARWs associated with DAWs as well as the MI conditions of DAWs are numerically analyzed by changing different dusty plasma parameters, such as dust charges, dust and ion number densities, and ion-temperature, etc. The implications of the results for various space dusty plasma systems (viz., mesosphere, F-rings of Saturn, and cometary atmosphere, etc.) as well as laboratory dusty plasma produced by laser-matter interaction are briefly mentioned.

description: We present charged particle densities as a function of pseudorapidity and collision centrality for the 197Au+197Au reaction at Sqrt{s_NN}=200 GeV. For the 5% most central events we obtain dN_ch/deta(eta=0) = 625 +/- 55 and N_ch(-4.7<= eta <= 4.7) = 4630+-370, i.e. 14% and 21% increases, respectively, relative to Sqrt{s_NN}=130 GeV collisions. Charged-particle production per pair of participant nucleons is found to increase from peripheral to central collisions around mid-rapidity. These results constrain current models of particle production at the highest RHIC energy.

description: We performed a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of two RV Tauri stars GK Car and GZ Nor. Both objects are surrounded by hot circumstellar dust. Their pulsation periods, derived from ASAS photometric time series, have been used to derive their luminosities and distances via the PLC relation. In addition, for both objects, GAIA distances are available. The Gaia distances and luminosities are consistent with the values obtained from the PLC relationship. GK Car is at distance of 4.5$\pm{1.3}$ kpc and has a luminosity of 1520$\pm{840}$ L$_{\odot}$, while GZ Nor is at distance of 8.4$\pm{2.3}$ kpc and has a luminosity of 1240 $\pm{690}$ L$_{\odot}$. Our abundance analysis reveals that both stars show depletion of refractory elements with [Fe/H]=$-$1.3 and [Zn/Ti]=$+$1.2 for GK Car and [Fe/H]=$-$2.0 and [Zn/Ti]=$+$0.8 for GZ Nor. In the WISE colour-colour diagram, GK Car is located in the RV Tauri box as originally defined by \cite{evans85} and updated by \cite{gezer15}, while GZ Nor is not. Despite this, we argue that both objects are surrounded by a gravitationally bound disc. As depletion is observed in binaries, we postulate that both stars are binaries as well. RV Tauri stars are generally acknowledged to be post$-$AGB stars. Recent studies show that they might be either indeed post$-$AGB or post$-$RGB objects depending on their luminosity. For both objects, the derived luminosities are relatively low for post-AGB objects, however, the uncertainties are quite large. We conclude that they could be either post-RGB or post-AGB objects.

One-loop leading logarithms in electroweak radiative corrections: II. Factorization of collinear singularities

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss the evaluation of the collinear single-logarithmic contributions to virtual electroweak corrections at high energies. More precisely, we proof the factorization of the mass singularities originating from loop diagrams involving collinear virtual gauge bosons coupled to external legs. We discuss, in particular, processes involving external longitudinal gauge bosons, which are treated using the Goldstone-boson equivalence theorem. The proof of factorization is performed within the 't Hooft--Feynman gauge at one-loop order and applies to arbitrary electroweak processes that are not mass-suppressed at high energies. As basic ingredient we use Ward identities for Green functions with arbitrary external particles involving a gauge boson collinear to one of these. The Ward identities are derived from the BRS invariance of the spontaneously broken electroweak gauge theory.

 An addition to the list of Orkney sawflies (Liston 1983c, Sheppard 1986). Note that Blank & Taeger (1998) treated S. soror provisionally as an Atlantic subspecies of the more continental S. costalis (Fabricius, 1775), but mentioned that they may be found to be synonyms when a greater amount of material from throughout Europe becomes available for comparison. Sciapteryx species are typically active in the early spring. Benson (1952) gives April to May as the flight period of S. soror, that he recorded “N. to Aberdeen and Inverness”. The records above are surprisingly late, even though they represent the most northerly known occurrences in the entire range of S. soror (Taeger et al. 2006).

Dissipative Particle Dynamics for Systems with Polar Species

description: In this work we developed a method for simulating polar species in the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. The main idea behind the method is to treat each bead as a dumb-bell, i.e. two sub-beads (the sub-beads can bear charges) kept at a fixed distance, instead of a point-like particle. It was shown that at small enough separations the composite beads act essentially as conventional point-like beads. Next, the relation between the bead dipole moment and the bulk dielectric permittivity was obtained. The interaction of single charges in polar liquid showed that the observed dielectric permittivity is somewhat smaller than that obtained for the bulk case at large separation between the charges; at distances comparable to the bead size the solvation shells of the charges start to interfere and oscillations in the observed permittivity occur. Such oriented molecules effectively have smaller polarizability compared to the bulk liquid, so the field of one charge in the vicinity of another charge is reduced not as strong as in the bulk. Finally, we showed why it is necessary to treat the polar species in DPD explicitly instead of implicitly by calculating the local polarizability based on the local species concentrations: the latter leads to the violation of the Newton's third law resulting in simulation artifacts. We investigated the behavior of a charged colloidal particle at an interface of polar and non-polar liquids. We obtained that when the polar molecules are treated explicitly, the charged colloidal particle moved into the polar liquid since it is energetically more favorable for the charged molecules to be immersed in a polar medium; however, within the "implicit polarity" method the colloidal particle is found on top of a "bump" formed by the molecules of the non-polar liquid, which increases the interface area between the liquids instead of decreasing it.

description: In the context of social well-being and context awareness several eHealth applications have been focused on tracking activities, such as sleep or specific fitness habits, with the purpose of promoting physical well-being with increasing success. Sensing technology can, however, be applied to improve social well-being, in addition to physical well-being. This paper addresses NSense, a tool that has been developed to capture and to infer social interaction patterns aiming to assist in the promotion of social well-being. Experiments carried out under realistic settings validate the NSense performance in terms of its capability to infer social interaction context based on our proposed computational utility functions. Traces obtained during the experiments are available via the CRAWDAD international trace repository.

description: We analyze forward Compton scattering, using real analytic amplitudes. By fitting the total γp scattering cross section data in the high energy region 5 GeV < \sqrt s < 20 GeV, using a cross section rising as \ln^2 s, we calculate ρ_{γp}, the ratio of the real to the imaginary portion of the the forward Compton scattering amplitude, and compare this to ρ_{nn}, the ratio of the even portions of the pp and p-bar p forward scattering amplitudes. We find that the two ρ-values are, within errors, the same in the c.m.s. energy region 5 GeV < \sqrt s < 200 GeV, as predicted by a factorization theorem of Block and Kadailov.

title: Organisational performance measurement in the third sector
Creators: name: Lebec, Laura
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Third sector, organisational performance measurement, stakeholder theory.

description: Effective organisational performance measurement supports the long-term viability of third sector organisations. It provides its many stakeholders, including funders, with critical information about the value for money received and beneficiaries, about the quality of service provision. However, there is limited empirical and theoretical research on how third sector organisations measure their organisational performance. An exploration of how Scottish third sector organisations in social care measured their performance was undertaken in order to further understanding of the field. Extant literature focused on the key drivers for addressing approaches to organisational performance measurement by third sector organisations as being: accountability, legitimacy and improvement. Building on this literature, this thesis employed expert interviews with key third sector stakeholders, group interviews with members of inter-organisational stakeholder networks and observations of the same groups. The findings suggest that the paradigm of organisational performance measurement in the third sector is, at times, shifting away from a dominant mechanistic accountability, where the performance requirements of funders typically take precedence, towards a more holistic approach in which organisational performance forms part of an organisation’s ecosystem. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the field of organisational performance in the third sector by responding to calls to apply stakeholder theory to this area of research, particularly in the context of a multi-stakeholder service delivery environment. The evidence showed that the salience status of key stakeholders may be shifting from high power to that of increasing their legitimacy, and third sector organisations are working normatively to prioritise the performance requirements of their beneficiaries. This is taking place in an environment in which there are institutional failings of regulation and commissioning. The key drivers of organisational performance were the organisational mission, an evaluative organisational culture and peer led, inter-organisational stakeholder networks. In order to ensure a fit with culture and mission and to manage the inherent complexity of performance, third sector organisations are driving organisational performance measurement towards a crossroads in its own history as it diverges towards an embedded, evolved, sustained approach, away from a focus on compliance and towards a more collaborative outlook.
Prioritizing Pregnancy Care in Family Practice

description: This poster presents the qualitative and quantitative outcomes of the two-year review of the antenatal clinic at SRHC. It shows the exponential increase in number of pregnancies managed at SRHC per year (from 61 in 2016 to over 200 projected in 2019), with over two-thirds of all pregnancies followed to term by our MD-PA team. When all options are available for antenatal care, 85% of our patients choose the MD-PA prenatal care model and, thus far, 100% of repeat prenatal patients have requested the same model of care for subsequent pregnancies. Also, owing to the continuity of care throughout the prenatal period, we have seen an increase in timely attendance of well baby check ups and adherence to vaccination schedules for the families followed through our antenatal clinic. SRHC’s unique prenatal care model has been recognized by local health authorities, and orientation to our program has been incorporated into mandatory continuing education for the nurses and midwives at the local hospital, providing opportunities to advocate for the Physician Assistant role. In conclusion, this poster shows how SRHC’s innovative prenatal care model uses the PA role to bridge family medicine and obstetrical care, in order to provide a full-time antenatal clinic, while optimizing our obstetrical specialist’s time in clinic and improving patient care outcomes.

description: PURPOSE: Candidate selection for physician assistant (PA) education and training is challenged by a lack of standards or guidance.1,2 A standardized exam for PA applicants may guide admissions decisions and predict student success in achieving the necessary competencies during the program and upon completion. The aim of this exploratory study was to determine the correlation between demographics, undergraduate academic performance metrics, and the PA College Admission Test (PA-CAT), a standardized exam under development for PA admissions. MATERIALS / METHODS: We used a cross-sectional study design and analysis of multiple administrative databases after IRB approval. The dependent variable of interest was overall performance on PA-CAT (Version 2.0), a standardized, 180-question exam that covers 12 subject areas that are commonly required by programs as preadmission coursework and supported by other research. Newly-matriculated PA students for the 2019 Spring Term academic semester completed the PA-CAT. Independent variables of interest included undergraduate GPA, scores on the GRE Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures, and demographic factors. We used descriptive statistics (e.g., means, STD, frequencies) and linear regression to examine associations between dependent and independent variables. RESULTS: Complete data was available from 36 PA trainees (77% female) with a mean age of 24.5 years (SD 4.2). The mean PA-CAT score was 107.1 (SD 13.2) out of 180. Higher undergraduate GPA and higher scores on the Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning components of the GRE were associated with higher PA-CAT scores (p<0.05). For every one unit (whole number) increase in GPA, the PA-CAT score increased by 31.5 points (p<0.05). Mean PA-CAT scores did not differ by age, gender, or by the number of patient care hours completed prior to PA program matriculation (p>0.05). DISCUSSION: The correlations identified in this study identify that the PA-CAT may have some promise as a variable for future admissions decisions. Further study is necessary to generalize these results to a larger population and to continue to add to the literature regarding predictors of PA student success.

 These Scottish adults were collected exclusively from stands of Petasites hybridus, which seems likely to be the larval host. According to Benson (1952) Tenthredo mandibularis is “Recorded from Dorset, Hants., Essex, Kent, Beds., Oxon., Yorks., and Cheshire. Probably occurs wherever the Petasites is abundant in England.” No previous records from Scotland of this conspicuous and distinctive species are known. Published hostplant records refer only to Petasites, usually without naming a species (Lorenz & Kraus 1957), or identify only P. albus as a host (Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer 2000). According to observations apparently made only by Brischke (1883), but often repeated in subsequent publications without citation of the source, Petasites officinalis (a synonym of P. hybridus) and Tussilago farfara are hosts. Tussilago farfara is the main or only host of T. mandibularis in Norway according to Heibo & Lönnve (2005).

description: This poster presents the opinions of twenty supervising physicians on how Manitoba’s 116 P.A.s contribute to Value and physician’s wellness. Design: In May 2019, seventy-two Manitoba physicians who supervise 116 PAs were sent a twenty-question electronic survey asking their perspectives of P.A. Value as a component of an on-going quality assurance program. A Literature review using the Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library One-Stop, PubMed, and Google Scholar search engines used the terms Value, physician assistant, and combinations of phrases related to P.A. benefit, P.A. values, Physician Value, and Canadian physician concerns with P.A.s occurred to guide the question development. Results: Twenty physicians responded from the list of the seventy-two physician supervisors contacted, representing a response rate of 27.7%. Three of the physician respondents have employed a P.A. for less than a year, 85% or 16 M.D. for more than two years, with 36.84% of the total for longer than five years. Eighty-five percent (n=18/20) of the responding physicians rated the Value of having a P.A. as very valuable or extremely valuable while 95% (n=19) were likely or extremely likely to recommend hiring a P.A. to a friend or colleague. One physician did not find value in the P.A. they hired. The phrases used by physicians in describing the Value P.A.s brought to Manitoba Healthcare included Honesty and Respect (78.95%), Improved Access (73%), Excellence In Care (63.1%), A Better Workplace (78.95%), Better Patient Safety (73.68%), Better Teamwork (84.21%), Accountability (73.68%), Efficiency (73.68%), Decreased Stress 42.11%, and Better Communication with Patients (57.89%). CONCLUSION: Ultimately, the determination of P.A.'s Value is through the lenses of those looking and asking what is needed. Manitoba physicians represented in this survey indicate extreme satisfaction with the quality and Value P.A.s contribute to their practice environment and personal lives.

description: Disentangling the contributions of radiative and non-radiative localized plasmonic modes from the photonic density of states of metallic nanocavities between atomically-sharp tips and flat substrates remains an experimental challenge nowadays. Electroluminescence due to tunnelling through the tip-substrate gap allows discerning solely the excitation of radiative modes, but this information is inherently convolved with that of the electronic structure of the system. In this work we present a fully experimental procedure to eliminate the electronic-structure factors from the scanning tunnelling microscope luminescence spectra by confronting them with spectroscopic information extracted from elastic current measurements. Comparison against electromagnetic calculations demonstrates that this procedure allows characterizing the meV shifts experienced by the dipolar and quadrupolar plasmonic modes supported by the nanocavity under atomic-scale gap size changes. Our method, thus, gives us access to the frequency-dependent radiative Purcell enhancement that a microscopic light emitter would undergo when placed at the nanocavity.
Differential Elliptic Flow in 2 - 6 AGeV Au+Au Collisions: A New Constraint for the Nuclear Equation of State

description: Proton elliptic flow is studied as a function of impact-parameter $b$, for two transverse momentum cuts in 2 - 6 AGeV Au + Au collisions. The elliptic flow shows an essentially linear dependence on b (for $1.5 < b < 8$ fm) with a negative slope at 2 AGeV, a positive slope at 6 AGeV and a near zero slope at 4 AGeV. These dependencies serve as an important constraint for discriminating between various equations of state (EOS) for high density nuclear matter, and they provide important insights on the interplay between collision geometry and the expansion dynamics. Extensive comparisons of the measured and calculated differential flows provide further evidence for a softening of the EOS between 2 and 6 GeV/nucleon.

description: Abstract: Patients undergoing major head and neck (H&N) surgery require complex multidisciplinary care. Surgical ward rooms contain whiteboards primarily used by nurses. The display of an “anticipated discharge date” (ADD) may be a simple yet effective discharge tool. Adults following H&N resection with reconstruction were randomized into two groups: without an ADD (control) or with an ADD (intervention). For the intervention group, the physician assistant (PA) provided an ADD 48-hours prior to and documented it on the whiteboard. The PA also provided additional discharge education. On the day of discharge, all patients completed a survey examining readiness for discharge. Nurses and allied health also completed a survey examining protocol effectiveness. The primary outcome was the length of hospital stay (LOS). Thirty-two patients were examined. There were no statistical differences in demographics, postoperative complications, and days to tracheostomy decannulation. Median LOS was 0.5 days shorter for the intervention group (11.50 vs. 12.00, p=0.84). No patients were readmitted within 30-days and there were no mortalities. There were trends for the intervention group to better understand their hospital course and believe their discharge date was adequately communicated (p=0.18 and p=0.16). Sixty-seven percent of staff believed the ADD assisted their practice, while 83% believed the PA improved efficiency of the discharge process. Surprisingly, providing patients an ADD did not significantly reduce LOS. Despite most patients having advanced cancer and considerable comorbidities, the 30-day readmission rate was zero. The PA improved patient education, while 66% of staff agreed on an ADD positively impacts patient care.

description: N,N,N’,N’-tetraethyldiglycolamide (TEDGA) is used in the French EXAm (extraction of americium) process to separate Am(III) from Cm(III) and Ln(III). In this study, the complexation behavior of TEDGA towards actinides(III) and lanthanides(III) was compared to its methyl-substituted derivatives Me-TEDGA and Me2-TEDGA under experimental conditions applying to the EXAm process. Using the EXAm solvent, 0.6 mol/L N,N’-dimethyl-N,N’-dioctyl-hexylethoxymalonamide (DMDOHEMA) and 0.45 mol/L bis(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (HDEHP), An(III) and Ln(III) distribution ratios increase in the order TEDGA < Me-TEDGA < Me2-TEDGA. This is explained by differences in the strength of complexation in the aqueous phase: Conditional stability constants for the formation of [Cm(DGA)x]3+ complexes decrease in the order TEDGA > Me-TEDGA > Me2-TEDGA, as shown by time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). TRLFS measurements verified the exclusive existence of [Cm(DGA)3]3+ complexes in the aqueous phase. Both the homoleptic [Cm(DMDOHEMA)n]3+ and the heteroleptic [Cm(DGA)x(DMDOHEMA)y]3+ complexes were detected in the organic phase, as postulated in the literature.[14]
title: The Maritime Transport of Sculptures in the Ancient Mediterranean
Creators: name: Velentza, Katerina
Publisher: name: University of Southampton

description: From the 16th century onwards various ancient sculptures have been
discovered in the Mediterranean Sea from the context of surveyed
shipwrecks, potential unrecorded shipwrecks or out of context as isolated
finds. Scholars so far have analysed several of those sculptural artefacts
from an art historical perspective, basing the interpretation of their
maritime transportation and underwater deposition on possible hypotheses
and not on actual archaeological data due to the problematic recording and
the remoteness of their underwater context. Therefore, it has been unclear
by whom, how and when these sculptures were transported and traded
during Classical Antiquity. The present thesis examines anew this subject
from the lenses of both maritime and classical archaeology. With a focus on
the underwater context of already retrieved sculptures, this research aims
at comprehending in detail the various circumstances under which ancient
sculptural artefacts were carried on board ancient merchant ships and were
consequently deposited under water. Through, first of all, the creation of an
extensive Mediterranean-wide database with more than 100 known
incidents of ancient sculptures found under water all around the
Mediterranean Sea and, secondly, the in-depth analysis of three shipwreck
case studies, the Porticello, the Mahdia and the Favaritx shipwrecks, a new
interpretation is presented for this maritime activity. Therefore, this
research reveals new details for the maritime transport and distribution of
sculptures during the period of Classical Antiquity, while also providing
clearer information regarding the naval and structural characteristics of the
ships carrying them. Finally, this research manifests the importance of the
thorough recording of underwater archaeological evidence, despite the
challenging natural environment. Hence, it is hoped to raise awareness
among archaeologists in order to eliminate the salvage of ancient sculptures
out of their underwater context, a fact that has been encouraging the illicit
trade of such antiquities.

description: At high temperature the infrared modes of a weakly coupled quantum field theory can be treated nonperturbatively in real time using the classical field approximation. We use this to introduce a nonperturbative approach to the calculation of finite-temperature spectral functions, employing the classical KMS condition in real time. The method is illustrated for the one-particle spectral function in a scalar field theory in 2+1 dimensions. The result is compared with resummed two-loop perturbation theory and both the plasmon mass and width are found to agree with the analytical prediction.
