description: We study a linear array of coupled cavities interacting with two level systems and show how to construct individually addressable qubits in this system from the long-lived atom-photon excitations (polaritons) at each site. We derive the system dynamics and show that is described by an XY Hamiltonian. We proceed by showing how to implement non-local quantum gates and show that combined with the inherent ability for individual addressing, universal quantum computation is possible in this system. We finally discuss the prospects for experimental implementation using various technologies involving dopants as atoms, quantum dots or Cooper pair boxes.

description: La formation est perçue comme le déterminant principal d’amélioration de l’employabilité. Se former est devenu le vecteur principal de réinsertion des politiques publiques européennes, suisses et vaudoises. Mais les mesures dites de formation pour retrouver un emploi supposent la participation active des bénéficiaires – autrement dit l’activation. Les personnes concernées sont amenées à définir un projet professionnel pour réintégrer rapidement le marché de l’emploi et ainsi devenir autonomes en termes financiers. Selon ces considérations, nous avons postulé que les bénéficiaires n’ont que peu de choix dans leur processus de réinsertion, et que la formation ne constitue alors pas la seule difficulté de la réinsertion socio-professionnelle. L’approche par les capacités, développée par Sen (1993), représente un outil d’analyse adéquat des capabilités des bénéficiaires dans les mesures de réinsertion. Ce présent travail s’est appuyé sur des données empiriques issues d’entretiens effectués avec des participant·e·s à des mesures de réinsertion du canton de Vaud. Les résultats ont montré que la formation ne constitue pas l’unique obstacle à la réinsertion, mais que la prise en compte des ressources des personnes en recherche d’emploi ainsi que de facteurs aux niveaux macro, méso et micro est primordiale. De plus, les bénéficiaires n’ont que peu de marge de manœuvre dans leurs démarches de réinsertion. Les choix reposent sur la possibilité d’exprimer son souhait dans le cadre des mesures, le degré d’ouverture du personnel du service social ainsi que de l’offre d’opportunités sur le marché du travail.

description: Colouring sparse graphs under various restrictions is a theoretical problem of significant practical relevance. Here we consider the problem of maximizing the number of different colours available at the nodes and their neighbourhoods, given a predetermined number of colours. In the analytical framework of a tree approximation, carried out at both zero and finite temperatures, solutions obtained by population dynamics give rise to estimates of the threshold connectivity for the incomplete to complete transition, which are consistent with those of existing algorithms. The nature of the transition as well as the validity of the tree approximation are investigated.

description: We performed phase-reference very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations on five radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) at 8.4 GHz with the Japanese VLBI Network (JVN). Each of the five targets (RXS J08066+7248, RXS J16290+4007, RXS J16333+4718, RXS J16446+2619, and B3 1702+457) in milli-Jansky levels were detected and unresolved in milli-arcsecond resolutions, i.e., with brightness temperatures higher than 10^7 K. The nonthermal processes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity, rather than starbursts, are predominantly responsible for the radio emissions from these NLS1s. Out of the nine known radio-loud NLS1s, including the ones chosen for this study, we found that the four most radio-loud objects exclusively have inverted spectra. This suggests a possibility that these NLS1s are radio-loud due to Doppler beaming, which can apparently enhance both the radio power and the spectral frequency.

description: Dans ce travail, nous nous intéressons à l’utilisation du smartphone en tant qu’objet pédagogique en travaux pratiques (TP) de chimie au secondaire II. Partant du constat que le smartphone est un objet technologiquement polyvalent et que la quasi-totalité des adolescents en possèdent un de nos jours, nous avons cherché à exploiter ses possibilités techniques afin de l’utiliser en tant qu’instrument d’analyse pour réaliser des expériences novatrices visant à susciter l’intérêt des élèves durant les travaux pratiques de chimie. Pour cela, nous avons élaboré deux TP différents qui utilisent le smartphone comme instrument d’analyse, le premier TP (TP 1) consistant en une expérience d’analyse de concentration par colorimétrie à l’aide d’une application mobile d’analyse d’image et le second TP (TP 2) se focalisant sur l’identification de molécules par spectroscopie d’absorption à l’aide d’un spectromètre en papier-carton à construire et attacher sur la caméra des smartphones. Nous avons cherché à évaluer, au travers de questionnaires ainsi que de comptes rendus de TP, si l’utilisation par les élèves de leur smartphone personnel était pertinente et que des données expérimentales utilisables pouvaient être récoltées. Nous avons recherché les considérations d’ordre techniques, les réticences des élèves à utiliser leur smartphone de manière détournée ainsi que l’impact de l’utilisation de cet objet numérique sur la motivation et l’investissement des élèves. Les résultats obtenus montrent qu’il n’y a pas de problèmes techniques majeurs à l’utilisation du smartphone en TP, que les élèves sont à l’aise et qu’ils n’ont pas de réticences avec l’utilisation détournée de leur smartphone. De plus, les élèves ont trouvé ces deux TP intéressants, originaux et novateurs. Malgré cela, les élèves n’ont pas ressenti d’augmentation de leur motivation ou de leur investissement. Toutefois, la performance des élèves était globalement positive. Ces résultats nous permettent de nous positionner positivement sur le fait que le smartphone est un objet qui pourrait avoir sa place comme instrument d’analyse en TP de chimie.

description: Ce mémoire professionnel se veut une réflexion quant aux méthodes didactiques les plus efficaces visant à lire les textes sacrés dans le cadre d’un cours de français au secondaire II. Partant des contenus et compétences définis dans les plans d’études vaudois et romands, notre travail questionne d’abord les apprentissages qu’une telle démarche cherche à développer ainsi que l’importance de trouver un angle justifiant l’étude de ces textes dont l’appartenance au corpus traditionnel des oeuvres abordées dans un cours de français n’est pas évidente. Notre parcours réflexif se propose, d’abord, d’exposer les avantages et limites de deux approches. D’une part, l’approche culturelle qui envisage les textes sacrés comme simples objets culturels qui doivent être étudiés comme tels et dont les apprentissages possibles sont de même nature. D’autre part, l’approche textualiste plus spécifiquement liée à l’enseignement du français et qui envisage les textes sacrés dans leur dimension proprement textuelle. Ensuite, ce mémoire présente une troisième orientation, l’approche intertextuelle, sorte de voie médiane, liant à la fois les deux approches précitées et se rapprochant le plus de ce qui pourrait être décrit comme une « bonne pratique » pédagogique. Enfin, dans la dernière partie de ce travail, nous confrontons nos réflexions théoriques à la pratique réelle du métier d’enseignant par le biais d’une analyse de séquence d’enseignement s’inspirant de l’approche intertextuelle. Cette séquence, donnée dans une classe de première année de maturité professionnelle, explore les manifestations littéraires d’un texte biblique par le biais d’une activité de lecture croisée de Ravage de René Barjavel et d’extraits du texte biblique de l’Apocalypse.

description: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to pool the incremental net benefit (INB) of each herpes zoster vaccine [i.e. Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL) and Recombinant Zoster Vaccine (RZV)]. We initially identified individual studies by hand-searching reference lists of the relevant systematic review articles. An updated comprehensive search was performed in Medline, Scopus, and Embase until June 2020 for additional studies. Studies were eligible if they assessed the cost-effectiveness/utility of any pair among ZVL and RZV, and no vaccine and reported economic outcomes. Details of the study characteristics, economic model inputs, costs, and outcomes were extracted. INB was calculated with monetary units adjusting for purchasing power parity for 2019 US dollars and pooled by meta-analysis. A total of 37 studies were pooled for meta-analysis stratified by perspectives [i.e. societal (SP) and third-party payer (TPP)] and vaccine types. In SP, ZVL was cost-effective compared to no vaccine when vaccinated at ages of 50–59 and 70–79 years with INBs (95% CI) of $0.61 (0.37, 0.85) and $9.67 (5.20, 14.14), respectively. RZV was cost-effective for those aged 60–69 and 70–79 years with INBs of $75.61 (17.98, 133.23) and $85.01 (30.02, 140.01), respectively. In TPP, ZVL was cost-effective compared to no vaccine when vaccinated at age 70–79 years with INB of $7.57 (0.27, 14.86) and RZV was cost-effective at 60–69 years with INB $220.87 (47.80, 393.93). The cost-effectiveness of RZV was robust across a series of sensitivity analyses, but ZVL differs on different vaccination ages. RZV may be cost-effective for vaccination in ages of 60–79 years for both SP and TPP perspectives, while ZVL might be cost-effective in some age groups, but results are not robust.

Counselling children with behavior problems in a specialized social learning classroom
Creators: name: Westwood, Caroline Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In order to measure counselling effectiveness on three male primary school-aged children with behavior problems, an interrupted time-series analysis was done on each child's daily classroom behavior scores for a time period of three months. Three experimental subjects received 20 bi-weekly individual counselling sessions, while three primary-aged control male subjects (ages 7 and 8) from the same social learning classroom received no counselling intervention. The experimental subjects showed significant gradual increases in daily behavior point scores. This result indicated they made significant gains in displaying more appropriate school behaviors while the control subjects did not. Pre and post scores on the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale (1969) and the Joseph Pre-School and Primary Self-Concept Screening Test (1979) indicated that the experimental subjects' self-concept scores decreased after three months of counselling; while the control subjects' self-concept scores slightly increased. Explanations for these results are discussed.

description: Ce mémoire professionnel s’inscrit dans une réflexion autour de l’étude de l’effet des pratiques pédagogiques des enseignants en cours magistral sur la transmission du savoir auprès des élèves. Car nous sommes convaincus que la manière de transmettre le cours exerce un effet significatif pour un apprentissage qui serait au bénéfice de tous les élèves. Conscience de différentes critiques sévères à l’égard des pratiques pédagogiques du cours magistral, à savoir : l’accusation d’être responsable des échecs massifs ; l’inadaptation de sa pratique par rapport à l’hétérogénéité de son nouveau public et son manque d’interaction. Conscients des discours qui prônent la fin du cours magistral à cause du numérique (comme moyen de diffusion de connaissances) qui remet en cause la figure de l’enseignant comme unique autorité et médiateur du savoir ou de la culture. Dans ce travail, nous avons proposé une redétermination du cours magistral en direction du cours magistral actif. Car nous sommes convaincus qu’un enseignement, pour être efficace, doit être actif, interactif et coopératif. Cependant, nous insistons que dans le cours magistral interactif, la figure du magister demeure centrale parce que c’est l’enseignant qui, en assumant sa totale responsabilité, conduit et assume la transmission de la matière et valeur culturelle. Ce mémoire nous a permis d’étudier la pratique pédagogique du cours magistral dans ses articulations : son histoire, sa nature, ses caractéristiques ainsi que ses critiques et sa transposition au gymnase en se délinéant comme l’une des pratiques pédagogiques pour l’enseignement de la philosophie. Cette recherche révèle que la pratique pédagogique du cours magistral est en mutation. Elle ne cesse de se transformer au fil du temps. Si au début, le cours magistral se déroulait pendant 90 minutes, moment dans lequel coule la parole du magister sans interruption, actuellement, il se fait en 15 ou 20 minutes tout en laissant une grande place aux interventions des élèves.

description: We propose two Type-II seesaw scenarios for the neutrino mass matrix in the left-right symmetric model, in which the Higgs triplet Yukawa coupling matrix takes the appealing Friedberg-Lee texture. We show that the nearly tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern, which is especially favored by current neutrino oscillation data, can be obtained from both scenarios. We also show that the cosmological baryon number asymmetry can naturally be interpreted in these two scenarios via the flavor-independent leptogenesis mechanism.

description: This Letter reports on the detection of two super-Earth planets in the Gl581 system, already known to harbour a hot Neptune. One of the planets has a mass of 5 M_Earth and resides at the ``warm'' edge of the habitable zone of the star. It is thus the known exoplanet which most resembles our own Earth. The other planet has a 7.7 M_Earth mass and orbits at 0.25 AU from the star, close to the ``cold'' edge of the habitable zone. These two new light planets around an M3 dwarf further confirm the formerly tentative statistical trend for i) many more very low-mass planets being found around M dwarfs than around solar-type stars and ii) low-mass planets outnumbering Jovian planets around M dwarfs.

description: We investigate the QCD effects in the associated production of the chargino and the neutralino, $\tildeχ^\pm_{1}$ and $\tildeχ^0_{2}$, in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) at both the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We include the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections (including supersymmetric QCD) and the threshold resummation effects. Our results show that, compared to the NLO predictions, the threshold resummation effects can increase the total cross sections by 3.6% and 3.9% for the associated production of $\tildeχ^+_{1}\tildeχ^0_{2}$ and $\tildeχ^-_{1}\tildeχ^0_{2}$ at the LHC, respectively, and by 4.7% for those of $\tildeχ^\pm_{1}\tildeχ^0_{2}$ at the Tevatron. In the invariant mass distributions the resummation effects are significant for large invariant mass. The threshold resummation reduces the dependence of the total cross sections at the LHC (Tevatron) on the renormalization/factorization scales to 5% (4%) from up to 7% (11%) at NLO.

description: We present 6.5-meter MMT spectrophotometry of 20 H II regions in 13 extremely metal-poor emission-line galaxies selected from the Data Release 5 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to have [O III] 4959/Hbeta < 1 and [N II] 6583/Hbeta < 0.05. The electron temperature-sensitive emission line [O III] 4363 is detected in 13 H II regions allowing a direct abundance determination. The oxygen abundance in the remaining H II regions is derived using a semi-empirical method. The oxygen abundance of the galaxies in our sample ranges from 12+logO/H ~ 7.1 to ~ 7.8, with 10 H II regions having an oxygen abundance lower than 7.5. The lowest oxygen abundances, 12+logO/H = 7.14+/-0.03 and 7.13+/-0.07, are found in two H II regions of the blue compact dwarf galaxy SDSSJ0956+2849=DDO 68, making it the second most-metal deficient emission-line galaxy known, after SBS 0335-052W.

description: We perform a detailed analysis of the SO(10) SUSY GUT model with D3 family symmetry of Dermisek and Raby (DR). The model is specified in terms of 24 parameters and predicts, as a function of them, the whole MSSM set of parameters at low energy scales. Concerning the SM subset of such parameters, the model is able to give a satisfactory description of the quark and lepton masses, of the PMNS matrix and of the CKM matrix. We perform a global fit to the model, including flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) processes Bs --> mu+ mu-, B --> Xs gamma, B --> Xs l+ l- and the B(d,s) - bar B(d,s) mass differences Delta M(d,s) as well as the flavour changing (FC) process B+ --> tau+ nu. These observables provide at present the most sensitive probe of the SUSY mass spectrum and couplings predicted by the model. Our analysis demonstrates that the simultaneous description of the FC observables in question represents a serious challenge for the DR model, unless the masses of the scalars are moved to regions which are problematic from the point of view of naturalness and probably beyond the reach of the LHC. We emphasize that this problem could be a general feature of SUSY GUT models with third generation Yukawa unification and weak-scale minimal flavour violation.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This was an exploratory study which used Flanagan's Critical Incident Technique to find out the factors which hinder or facilitate the psycho-socio adjustment of students from The People's Republic of China to Canada. The 21 subjects for the sample were drawn at random from a name list provided by the Chinese Visiting Scholars and Students Association at University of British Columbia. All of the subjects were graduate students or visiting scholars and had been in Canada for 9-12 months at the time of the interviews. All subjects were able to identify incidents which hindered or facilitated their first year psycho-socio adjustment to Canada. The total of 385 incidents, 175 facilitating and 210 hindering incidents, were reported. The average number of incidents reported per student was 19.2. Ten major categories which facilitate or hinder PRC students' psycho-socio adjustment to Canada have been found through this research. Considering the number of incidents reported by the participants, Academic Study & Research was ranked the first place among 10 categories. According to the rate of participation, Language Barriers & Improvement was listed the highest among 10 categories. Considering the number of facilitating incidents reported by the participants, Initial Settlement was placed the highest. In the number of hindering incidents, category of Language Barriers & Improvement was listed the highest among the 10 categories. The explanation of the research findings and suggestions for how the findings might contribute to the understanding PRC or other Oriental international students are included in the discussion.

Subjects: Lean Management, Healthcare Optimization, Cost Reduction, Quality Improvement, Lean Six Sigma.

description: Abstract

Lean management has emerged as a valuable approach in healthcare for addressing inefficiencies, improving service quality, and reducing costs. This study conducts a comprehensive literature review to explore the application of lean management in optimizing healthcare services. The findings highlight the effectiveness of lean tools, such as value stream mapping and Lean Six Sigma, in streamlining processes, reducing patient wait times, and enhancing resource utilization. However, the review also uncovers significant challenges in implementation, including staff resistance, leadership gaps, and the complexity of healthcare environments. Successful lean management initiatives require strong leadership, effective staff engagement, and a culture of continuous improvement. Tailoring lean practices to the unique needs of healthcare systems is critical to achieving long-term improvements. The review also emphasizes the need for healthcare organizations to balance operational efficiency with patient-centered care to ensure that quality is not compromised. The study concludes that lean management offers a promising pathway to cost reduction and quality improvement, but its success is contingent upon organizational commitment and leadership support. The findings provide valuable insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers seeking to optimize service delivery while controlling costs.
Quantum breathers in capacitively coupled Josephson junctions: Correlations, number conservation, and entanglement

description: We consider the classical and quantum dynamics of excitations in a system of two capacitively coupled Josephson junctions. In the classical case the equations of motion admit discrete breather solutions, which are time periodic and localized predominantly on one of the junctions. In the quantum case breather states are found in the central part of the energy spectrum of the confined nonescaping states of the system. We perform a systematic analysis of their tunneling frequency, site correlations, fluctuations of the number of quanta, and entanglement. Quantum breather states show strong site correlation of quanta and are characterized by a strong excitation of quanta on one junction which perform slow coherent tunneling motion from one junction to the other. They suppress fluctuations of the total number of excited quanta. Quantum breather states are the least entangled states among the group of eigenstates in the same range of the energy spectrum. We describe how quantum breather excitations could be experimentally observed by employing the already developed techniques for quantum information processing using Josephson junctions.

description: Chlerogella clidemiae Engel Figs 7–9; Map 1 Chlerogella clidemiae Engel, 2003a: 2. Moure et al., 2007: 794. Holotype. ♀, PANAMÁ: San Blas, 19km N of El Llano [El Llano is in Panamá Province with the collection locality 19km North and just across the border into San Blas Province], 350m, 31 January 1985, G. de Nevers, on flowers of Clidemia crenulata (SEMC). Diagnosis. Chlerogella clidemiae is most similar to C. elongaticeps in that both species are largely amber-yellow (Fig. 7). Th e former differs from the latter most noticeably by the combination of a more elongate head [malar space 68% of compound eye length vs. 25% in C. elongaticeps; malar space 5.4 times longer than basal mandibular width vs. twice as long in C. elongaticeps (cf. figures 8, 9 vs. 2, 3)], the clypeus below the lower tangent of the compound eyes (Fig. 9), the shorter pronotal upper surface (medially about ocellar diameter in length vs. medially about two ocellar diameters in length in C. elongaticeps) the more widely spaced mesoscutal punctation, the light reddish brown coloration with faint coppery highlights on the head and mesoscutum, and the larger number of branches to the metatibial spur (five vs. three in C. elongaticeps). Description. The description of this species was published only recently and given that no further material has become available I have chosen not to repeat that text here. Refer to Engel (2003a) for a complete description of the holotype.

description: A {\bf map} is a graph that admits an orientation of its edges so that each vertex has out-degree exactly 1. We characterize graphs which admit a decomposition into $k$ edge-disjoint maps after: (1) the addition of {\it any} $\ell$ edges; (2) the addition of {\it some} $\ell$ edges. These graphs are identified with classes of {\it sparse} graphs; the results are also given in matroidal terms.
On the interaction of a charge with a thin plasma sheet
Creators: name: Bordag, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The interaction of the electromagnetic field with a two dimensional plasma sheet intended to describe the pi-electrons of a carbon nano-tube or a $C_{60}$ molecule is investigated. By integrating out first the displacement field of the plasma or first the electromagnetic field different representations for quantities like the Casimir energy are derived which are shown to be consistent with one another. Starting from the covariant gauge for the electromagnetic field it is shown that the matching conditions to which the presence of the plasma sheet can be reduced are different from the commonly used ones. The difference in the treatments does not show up in the Casimir force between two parallel sheets, but it is present in the Casimir-Polder force between a charge or a neutral atom and a sheet. At once, since the plasma sheet is a regularization of the conductor boundary conditions, this sheds light on the difference in physics found earlier in the realization of conductor boundary conditions as 'thin' or 'thick' boundary conditions in Phys.Rev.D70(2004)085010.

description: There are many materials whose dielectric properties are described by a stretched exponential, the so-called Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) relaxation function. Its physical origin and statistical-mechanical foundation have been a matter of debate in the literature. In this paper we suggest a model of dielectric relaxation, which naturally leads to a stretched exponential decay function. Some essential characteristics of the underlying charge conduction mechanisms are considered. A kinetic description of the relaxation and charge transport processes is proposed in terms of equations with time-fractional derivatives.

Vesicle dynamics in elongation flow: Wrinkling instability and bud formation

description: We present experimental results on the relaxation dynamics of vesicles subjected to a time-dependent elongation flow. We observed and characterized a new instability, which results in the formation of higher order modes of the vesicle shape (wrinkles), after a switch in the direction of the gradient of the velocity. This surprising generation of membrane wrinkles can be explained by the appearance of a negative surface tension during the vesicle deflation, due to compression in a sign-switching transient. Moreover, the formation of buds in the vesicle membrane has been observed in the vicinity of the dynamical transition point.

description: Two new rate-one full-diversity space-time block codes (STBC) are proposed. They are characterized by the \emph{lowest decoding complexity} among the known rate-one STBC, arising due to the complete separability of the transmitted symbols into four groups for maximum likelihood detection. The first and the second codes are delay-optimal if the number of transmit antennas is a power of 2 and even, respectively. The exact pair-wise error probability is derived to allow for the performance optimization of the two codes. Compared with existing low-decoding complexity STBC, the two new codes offer several advantages such as higher code rate, lower encoding/decoding delay and complexity, lower peak-to-average power ratio, and better performance.

Vorkammerzündkerze

description: Vorkammer-Zündkerzen sind ein etabliertes Bauteil im Gasmotor. Ihr Entflammungsverhalten erfolgt in engem Zusammenspiel mit den Konditionen des Brennraumes und dem Strömungsverhältnissen. In vielen Einsätzen ist die Auswahl der für den jeweiligen Motor optimalen Vorkammerkzündkerze das Ergebnis vergleichender Versuche. Eine Visualisierung der Entflammung kann hier helfen, schnell zu relevanten Aussagen zu kommen. Die Visualisierung mit Hilfe von Endoskopen (Hügel et.al. Dessau 2013) leidet darunter, dass einer der Fackelstrahlen meist direkt in Richtung der Optik gezeigt hat und deswegen verschlossen werden musste. Eine Betrachtung von Asymetrien oder grundlegenden Effekten benötigt deswegen einen speziellen optischen Zugang durch den Zylinderkopf, der ein Blickfeld mit Fackelstrahl bis zum Kolben erlaubt. 
Nach einer Darstellung der Konstruktion des optischen Zuganges werden auch dessen Nebeneffekte - beispielsweise auf die Temperaturverteilung - an einem Forschungs-Einzylindermotor betrachtet. Die Aufnahmen zeigen die Fackelstrahlen einer symmetrischen Vorkammerkerze und die Auswirkungen der lokalen Brennraum-Konditionen auf die Fackelausbreitung und deren Gleichverteilung.
Die Highspeed-Visualisierung mit Bildverstärker-Kamera zeigt im Allgemeinen die Chemilumineszenz mehrerer Spezies, die im Akkumulationszeitraum und der Betrachtungsachse kumulieren. Zusätzliche Informationen über die Mechanismen der Entflammung bietet hier eine zeitlich und räumlich aufgelöste Darstellung der Fackelstrahlen und der von Ihnen produzierten Chemilumineszenzsignale für beispielsweise CH* und C2* (s.a.Toedter et.al. 3rd int Ignition Conf. Berlin 2016). In der hier vorgestellten Arbeit wird mit dieser Methodik das Entflammungsverhalten und auch der Zündverzug beim Einsatz der Vorkammer-Zündkerze in einem Gasmotor analysiert.
Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dienen als Basis für das Design an den Motor angepasster Vorkammerzündkerzen und als Ausgangspunkt für weitere Forschungen.
