description: We investigate the transition from forward to inverse energy cascade in turbulent flows in thin layers, varying the functional form of the forcing and the thickness of the layer. We show that, as the forcing function becomes more three-dimensional, the inverse cascade is suppressed and the critical height hc, where the transition occurs, is decreased. We study the dependence of this critical height on a parameter r which measures the dimensionality of the forcing and thus construct a phase space diagram in the parameter space r-h. We discuss the effect of Reynolds number and domain size.

description: The response of spherical two-spin interaction models, the spherical ferromagnet (s-FM) and the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (s-SK) model, is calculated for the protocol of the so-called nonresonant hole burning experiment (NHB) for temperatures below the respective critical temperatures. It is shown that it is possible to select dynamic features in the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of both models, one of the hallmarks of dynamic heterogeneities. The behavior of the s-SK model and the s-FM in three dimensions is very similar, showing dynamic heterogeneities in the long time behavior, i.e. in the aging regime. The appearence of dynamic heterogeneities in the s-SK model explicitly demonstrates that these are not necessarily related to {\it spatial} heterogeneities. For the s-FM it is shown that the nature of the dynamic heterogeneities changes as a function of dimensionality. With incresing dimension the frequency selectivity of the NHB diminishes and the dynamics in the mean-field limit of the s-FM model becomes homogeneous.

description: There are a number of physical restrictions that develop in the course of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). While loss of speech and motor control may be partially compensated by the support of assistive devices, swallowing difficulty and respiratory insufficiency require medical interventions (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, noninvasive, and invasive ventilation). Based on the data collected within the NEEDSinALS study, we found major differences in personal satisfaction with the financing, healthcare provision, medical infrastructure, and regulations of German and Polish ALS patients, despite minor differences in economic burden caused by the disease. In order to explain this phenomenon, we thoroughly reviewed the legal basis, structure and organization of the healthcare systems in Germany and Poland to determine the range of obstacles in the everyday lives of patients and their caregivers that are attempting to attain an assistive device or care after the start of medical interventions.

description: Super-Earths are by far the most dominant type of exoplanet, yet their formation is still not well understood. In particular, planet formation models predict that many of them should have accreted enough gas to become gas giants. Here we examine the role of the protoplanetary disk in the cooling and contraction of the protoplanetary envelope. In particular, we investigate the effects of 1) the thermal state of the disk as set by the relative size of heating by accretion or irradiation, and whether its energy is transported by radiation or convection, and 2) advection of entropy into the outer envelope by disk flows that penetrate the Hill sphere, as found in 3D global simulations. We find that, at 5 and 1 AU, this flow at the level reported in the non-isothermal simulations where it penetrates only to ~ 0.3 times the Hill radius has little effect on the cooling rate since most of the envelope mass is concentrated close to the core, and far from the flow. On the other hand, at 0.1 AU, the envelope quickly becomes fully-radiative, nearly isothermal, and thus cannot cool down, stalling gas accretion. This effect is significantly more pronounced in convective disks, leading to envelope mass orders of magnitude lower. Entropy advection at 0.1 AU in either radiative or convective disks could therefore explain why super-Earths failed to undergo runaway accretion. These results highlight the importance of the conditions and energy transport in the protoplanetary disk for the accretion of planetary envelopes.

The new combined EIGEN-CG01C Earth gravity model has been adopted. The second combination cancels the first three even zonal harmonics along with their secular variations but introduces the non-gravitational perturbations of Jason1. The first combination is less sensitive to the non-conservative forces but is sensitive to the secular variations of the uncancelled even zonal harmonics of low degree J4 and J6 whose impact grows linearly in time.

description: Chemical imaging based on mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopic contrast is an important technique with a myriad of applications, including biomedical imaging and environmental monitoring. Current MIR cameras, however, lack in performance and are much less affordable compared to mature Si-based devices, which operate in the visible and near-infrared. Here we demonstrate fast MIR chemical imaging through non-degenerate two-photon absorption (NTA) in a standard Si-based charge-coupled device (CCD). We show that wide-field MIR images can be obtained at 100 ms exposure times using picosecond pulse energies of only a few fJ per pixel through NTA directly on the CCD chip. Because this on-chip approach does not rely on phase-matching, it is alignment-free and does not necessitate complex post-processing of the images. We emphasize the utility of this technique through chemically selective MIR imaging of polymers and biological samples, including MIR videos of moving targets, physical processes and live nematodes.
title: Walkability in Dubai: Improving Thermal Comfort
Creators: name: Al Sabbagh, Nihal
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: In Dubai, the absurd dependence on air-conditioning in buildings and vehicles has led to sedentary lifestyles and a poor public realm in many outdoor spaces. The microclimatic conditions that have been impaired by the morphology of the built environment, reduced pedestrian comfort between buildings. Urban spaces depreciate for many months due to lack of pedestrians. The present thesis aimed to encourage what it calls walkability – the ability of a place to welcome people to walk– for longer periods every year. It focused on improving pedestrians’ overall thermal comfort and extending the distances that they could travel along their daily utilitarian journeys. Three main methods of fieldwork were applied to investigate the physical urban environment in two districts, namely Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) and The Greens. First, interviews were conducted with random passers-by along their everyday routes to the mosque, metro, office and school. These were conducted at different periods of the year and times of the day and were meant to identify the thermal comfort limits at such periods. Second, subjective assessments, consisting of thermal sensations and thermal comfort votes, were collected from six subjects over several days in the form of short walks at different times of the year. These helped to assess the influence of the successive changes endured on the thermal sensations and overall comfort. Third, data loggers were installed in four different spaces over a period of one year to identify the influence of urban morphology on the microclimatic parameters (air and globe temperatures and relative humidity). Finally, ENVI-met microclimatic simulations were run to analyse the urban district JLT and identify the hot spots likely to inhibit comfort. The findings of the fieldwork and simulation studies revealed the prospect for extending the distances that pedestrians tolerate walking outdoors, through improving their thermal sensation and comfort at certain areas along the journey described as the recovery conditions. The thesis proposes that allocating adequate shade and wind at frequent areas along the journey provides a psychological satisfaction and physical heat stress relief, which improves the overall comfort and encourages walkability. Proposed scenarios for such areas were modelled and tested using ENVI-met to show the improvements of the microclimate and comfort conditions that can be achieved at different times of the day and year.

description: Little is known about the impact of context on the meaning of emotion words. In the present study, we used a semantic profiling instrument (GRID) to investigate features representing five emotion components (appraisal, bodily reaction, expression, action tendencies, and feeling) of 11 emotion words in situational contexts involving success or failure. We compared these to the data from an earlier study in which participants evaluated the typicality of features out of context. Profile analyses identified features for which typicality changed as a function of context for all emotion words, except contentment, with appraisal features being most frequently affected. Those context effects occurred for both hypothesised basic and non-basic emotion words. Moreover, both data sets revealed a four-dimensional structure. The four dimensions were largely similar (valence, power, arousal, and novelty). The results suggest that context may not change the underlying dimensionality but affects facets of the meaning of emotion words.

description: We use inelastic neutron scattering to study the effect of a magnetic field on the neutron spin resonance (Er = 3.6 meV) of superconducting FeSe (Tc = 9 K). While a field aligned along the in-plane direction broadens and suppresses the resonance, a c-axis aligned field does so much more efficiently, consistent with the anisotropic field-induced suppression of the superfluid density from the heat capacity measurements. These results suggest that the resonance in FeSe is associated with the superconducting electrons arising from orbital selective quasi-particle excitations between the hole and electron Fermi surfaces.

description: The present study examined the psychometric ethnic equivalence of the Social Phobia Scale (SPS) and the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS). Results from a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed a 3-factor solution for the South-Asian American sample that largely resembles results found in prior research conducted with Caucasian American samples. An exploratory factor analysis for the East-Asian American sample revealed a 5- factor solution. Four of the five factors consisted of items from both scales indicating the two scales do not assess social interaction versus social performance anxiety exclusively among East-Asian Americans. For both groups, correlations among measure total scores and individual factors indicated ethnic identity and self-construal did not influence the expression of social anxiety on these self-report scales. These findings suggest that the construct of social anxiety as measured by these scales differs between Asian American cultures and highlights the need to consider culture in the interpretation of these scales.

title: Longitudinal Analysis of the Pubertal Growth, Body Composition, and Endocrine Development in Young People with and without Diabetes

Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: This longitudinal study of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and contemporary controls through puberty attempts to elucidate differences in their growth, pubertal development and the relationship with pubertal hormones. Fifty two T1D prepubertal children aged 7.7- 14.4y and 125 control children aged 8.3 - 11.96y were recruited. Auxology and puberty were assessed and blood samples were obtained 6 monthly until the age of 16 years. Annual bone age was assessed in T1D subjects. Puberty onset and PHV was later in T1D boys compared to controls, while T1D girls were younger at puberty onset with an advanced bone age and their peak height velocity was earlier compared with controls. Overall compared to the UK references, T1D girls had a reduced peak height velocity whereas the boys had normal pubertal growth. T1D children had greater increases in BMI during puberty but whereas in the girls this was due to greater acquisition of fat mass, in the boys it related to gains in fat free mass. Levels of DHEAS, IGF-I, A4, testosterone and oestradiol were lower in T1D boys and girls whereas leptin and SHBG were higher. The pubertal delay in T1D boys was partially explained by bone age but diabetes presence was also contributory. The earlier puberty, advanced pubertal bone age and reduced height gain in T1D girls were associated with complex hormonal changes. The advanced bone age at pubertal onset was not influenced by adrenal hormones but by BMI. Loss in height gain in these girls was related to E2 levels and glycaemic control at the start of puberty. This study helps clarify some of the relationships between hormonal changes and variation in auxological factors during normal puberty. Differences in these parameters between T1D and control children are only partially explained by endocrine relationships; other factors, relating to T1D including glycaemic control and insulin dose, are important.

description: Electronic devices are progressively fabricated on flexible substrates allowing new fields of applications. A maskless and very flexible structuring process is offered by ablation using ultra-short pulse laser irradiation. Usually, certain areas of a functional thin film coating are locally removed to yield the needed device structures. Micro laser patterning quality is not only influenced by the beam properties (beam profile, fluence) but also by pulse overlap, scan repetitions and many other factors such as substrate and coating material. This makes process parameter optimization a challenging task. In this paper, we present a systematic approach to efficiently find suitable parameters for laser-induced ablation of thin films on susceptible polymer substrates. As an example, we use a sputtered NiCr coating with a thickness of 100 $nm$ on a polyimide film made by spin coating of PI-2611 precursor (@ 2000 $rpm$ > ca. 8 $μm$, HD microsystems). Irradiation is conducted using a fs-laser with infrared wavelength of 1030 $nm$ and a pulse length of 212 $fs$. The energy per pulse is varied in the range of 0,29 $μJ$ to 4,83 $μJ$, yielding fluence values between 70 $mJ/cm^2$ and 1,11 $J/cm^2$. Ablation threshold fluence for a 100 $nm$ layer of NiCr was found to be $ϕ_{th}$ ($N_P$:1)=0,50 $J/cm^2$ and the incubation factor was evaluated to be $ξ$=0,53. A clear distinction must be made between the material ablation at the surface of a bulk material and the selective removal of a thin film. In the second case effects such as flaking occur in practice and influence the ablation characteristic. We then investigate different varieties of thin film removal including dot-, line- and areal-ablation. The methodology is presented using a practical example, but can be applied to selective ablation of a wide range of thin film systems.

description: Within a 400~pc sphere around the Sun, we search for members of the Pisces-Eridanus (Psc-Eri) stellar stream in the Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) data set. We compare basic astrophysical characteristics of the stream with those of the Pleiades. We used a modified convergent-point method to identify stars with 2D - velocities consistent with the space velocity of the Psc-Eri stream and the Pleiades, respectively. We found 1387 members of the Psc-Eri stream in a G magnitude range from 5.1 mag to 19.3 mag at distances between 80 and 380 pc from the Sun. The stream has a nearly cylindrical shape with length and thickness of about 700 pc and 100 pc, respectively. The total stellar mass contained in the stream is about 770 M_Sun, and the members are gravitationally unbound. For the stream we found an age of about 135 Myr. In many astrophysical properties Psc-Eri is comparable to the open cluster M45 (the Pleiades): in its age, its luminosity function (LF), its Present-day mass Function (PDMF) as well as in its total mass. Nonetheless, the two stellar ensembles are completely unlike in their physical appearance. We cautiously give two possible explanations for this disagreement: (i) the star-formation efficiency in their parental molecular clouds was higher for the Pleiades than for Psc-Eri or/and (ii) the Pleiades had a higher primordial mass segregation immediately after the expulsion of the molecular gas of the parental cloud.

The Fine-structure Constant as a Probe of Chemical Evolution and AGB Nucleosynthesis in Damped Lyman-alpha Systems

description: Evidence from a large sample of quasar absorption-line spectra in damped Lyman-alpha systems has suggested a possible time variation of the fine structure constant alpha. The most statistically significant portion of this sample involves the comparison of Mg and Fe wavelength shifts using the many-multiplet (MM) method. However, the sensitivity of this method to the abundance of heavy isotopes, especially Mg, is enough to imitate an apparent variation in alpha in the redshift range 0.5 < z < 1.8. We implement recent yields of intermediate mass (IM) stars into a chemical evolution model and show that the ensuing isotope distribution of Mg can account for the observed variation in alpha provided the early IMF was particularly rich in intermediate mass stars (or the heavy Mg isotope yields from AGB stars are even higher than in present-day models). As such, these observations of quasar absorption spectra can be used to probe the nucleosynthetic history of low-metallicity damped Lyman-alpha systems in the redshift range 0.5 < z < 1.8. This analysis, in conjunction with other abundance measurements of low-metallicity systems, reinforces the mounting evidence that star formation at low metallicities may have been strongly influenced by a population of IM stars. Such IM stars have a significant influence on other abundances, particularly nitrogen. We constrain our models with independent measurements of N, Si, and Fe in damped Lyman-alpha systems as well as C/O in low-metallicity stars. In this way, we obtain consistent model parameters for this chemical-evolution interpretation of the MM method results.

description: The present work concerns data of three campaigns carried out during the last twenty years in the plain of the Garigliano river surrounding the Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant (GNPP), which is located in Southern Italy and shut down in 1979. Moreover, some data from surveys held in the eighties, across the Chernobyl accident, have been taken in account. The results for the soil samples, in particular for 137Cs and 236U specific activity, were analyzed for their extension in space and in time. Some of the problems related to the classical analysis of environmental radiological data (non-normal distribution of the values, small number of sample points, multiple comparison and presence of values lesser than the minimum detectable activity) have been overcome with the use of Bayesian methods. The scope of the paper is threefold: (1) to introduce the data of the last campaign held in the Garigliano plain; (2) to insert these data in a larger spatio-temporal frame; (3) to show how the Bayesian approach can be applied to radiological environmental surveys, stressing out its advantages over other approaches, using the data of the campaigns. It results that (i) no new contribution there was in the last decades, (ii) specific activity values of the area surrounding the GNPP are consistent with those obtained in other farther areas, (iii) the effective depletion half-life factor for 137Cs is much lower than the half-life of the radionuclide.

Dimensional crossover and deconfinement in Bechgaard salts

description: The Bechgaard salts are made of weakly coupled one dimensional chains. This particular structure gives the possibility to observe in these systems a dimensional crossover between a high temperature (or high energy) one dimensional phase and a two or three dimensional system. Since the filling of the chains is commensurate the system thus undergoes a deconfinement transition from a one dimensional Mott insulator to a two (or three) dimensional metal. Such a transition has of course a strong impact on the physical properties of these compounds, and is directly seen in transport measurements. In order to describe such a transition a dynamical mean field method has been introduced (chain-DMFT). Using this method we investigate a system of coupled Hubbard chains and show that we can indeed reproduce the deconfinement transition. This allows to determine physical quantities such as the transport transverse to the chains and the shape of the Fermi surface and quasiparticle residues in the low temperature phase.

description: Mais de 90% das exportações brasileiras de manga são provenientes do Submédio do Vale do São Francisco, região que produz a fruta em praticamente todos os meses do ano. O volume exportado pelo Brasil tem crescido nos últimos anos, sendo que dentre as frutas, a manga é a que gera a maior receita de exportação. Este trabalho tem por objetivo identificar e analisar os componentes de tendência e sazonalidade nos preços da manga exportada pelo Brasil com vistas à melhor compreensão de seu comportamento. Os dados utilizados foram obtidos no site AliceWeb2 do MDIC/SECEX, no período do primeiro trimestre de 2004 até o quarto trimestre de 2012. Constatou-se que a tendência apresenta um comportamento crescente e bastante significativo. Foi detectada sazonalidade determinística e estocástica. Assim, a série foi modelada por um SARIMA (4,1,1)x(0,1,3)2 , sendo observado o impacto negativo do efeito sazonal e também correlações negativas semestrais e anuais. ----- Over 90% of the Brazilian mango export is originated from the Submedio River Valley São Francisco, a region that produces the fruit in every month of the year. The volume exported by Brazil has grown in recent years, and among the fruits, the mango is the one that generates the most revenue from exports. This study aims to identify and analyze the tendency components and seasonality in the prices of mango exported by Brazil with a view to better understanding of their pattern. The data used were obtained from the website AliceWeb2 of MDIC/SECEX, during the first trimester 2004 to the fourth trimester 2012. It was found that the trend shows an increasing pattern and quite significant and was detected deterministic and stochastic seasonality. Therefore, the serie was modeled by SARIMA (4,1,1)x(0,1,3)2 and the negative impact of the seasonal effect and negative semiannual and annual correlations also were observed.

On the Boundedness in $H^{1/4}$ of the Maximal Square Function Associated with the Schroedinger Equation

description: A long standing conjecture for the linear Schroedinger equation states that 1/4 of derivative in $L^2$, in the sense of Sobolev spaces, suffices in any dimension for the solution to that equation to converge almost everywhere to the initial datum as the time goes to 0. This is only known to be true in dimension 1 by work of Carleson. In this paper we show that the conjecture is true on spherical averages. To be more precise, we prove the $L^2$ boundedness of the associated maximal square function on the Sobolev class $H^{1/4}(R^n)$ in any dimension n.

Gender Differences in Wage Expectations

description: Using a survey on wage expectations among students at two Swiss institutions of higher education, we examine the wage expectations of our respondents along two main lines. First, we investigate the rationality of wage expectations by comparing average expected wages from our sample with those of similar graduates; we further examine how our respondents revise their expectations when provided information about actual wages. Second, using causal mediation analysis, we test whether the consideration of a rich set of personal and professional controls, namely concerning family formation and children in addition to professional preferences, accounts for the difference in wage expectations across genders. We find that males and females overestimate their wages compared to actual ones, and that males respond in an overconfident manner to information about outside wages. Despite the attenuation of the gender difference in wage expectations brought about by the comprehensive set of controls, gender generally retains a significant direct, unexplained effect on wage expectations.

description: In recent years, Spanish universities have been the destination chosen by a growing number of Chinese students to complete their undergraduate studies, most of them financed by their own families. These students have faced a series of particular difficulties, among which the insufficient knowledge of the language of the host country stands out. For universities, the arrival of Chinese students has meant higher incomes (the cost of tuition for non-European students is up to four times higher), but this should also lead to a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses to favor their integration. In the absence of published diagnoses on the subject, the present research is proposed as a first approach to these students, to recognize their general motivation status and delve into the aspects that undermine the full use of their studies in Spain.

description: Context. The large quantity of high-quality asteroseismic data that obtained from space-based photometric missions and the accuracy of the resulting frequencies motivate a careful consideration of the accuracy of computed oscillation frequencies of stellar models, when applied as diagnostics of the model properties. Aims. Based on models of red-giant stars that have been independently calculated using different stellar evolution codes, we investigate the extent to which the differences in the model calculation affect the model oscillation frequencies. Methods. For each of the models, which cover four different masses and different evolution stages on the red-giant branch, we computed full sets of low-degree oscillation frequencies using a single pulsation code and, from these frequencies, typical asteroseismic diagnostics. In addition, we carried out preliminary analyses to relate differences in the oscillation properties to the corresponding model differences. Results. In general, the differences in asteroseismic properties between the different models greatly exceed the observational precision of these properties, in particular for the nonradial modes whose mixed acoustic and gravity-wave character makes them sensitive to the structure of the deep stellar interior. In some cases, identifying these differences led to improvements in the final models presented here and in Paper I; here we illustrate particular examples of this. Conclusions. Further improvements in stellar modelling are required in order fully to utilise the observational accuracy to probe intrinsic limitations in the modelling. However, our analysis of the frequency differences and their relation to stellar internal properties provides a striking illustration of the potential of the mixed modes of red-giant stars for the diagnostics of stellar interiors.
