description: Cryptic species represent a substantial fraction of the diversity of Drosophilidae, hampering studies on species ecologies and their evolution. Anthophilous species within the Drosophila lutzii group encompass some of the most widely distributed Neotropical lineages. Nevertheless, their ranges, ecologies, divergence times, and phylogenetic relationships are largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed the cryptic diversity of the lutzii species complex occurring in Southern Brazil and shed light on the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying their current patterns of coexistence. We used an integrative approach, evaluating molecular, ecological, and morphological traits under an evolutionary ecology framework. We documented the unexpected occurrence of D. alei in Southern Brazil, whose range was only known for the Andean region. Our phylogenetic analysis indicated that despite morphological similarities, D. alei is more closely related to D. denieri than to D. lutzii, and that divergence among these three species dates back to the Neogene (7.3 Mya). Niche modeling suggests that D. denieri and D. lutzii populations expanded their ranges and were established in Southern Brazil during the Quaternary (150 kya), being affected by similar paleoclimatic events. On the other hand, D. alei shows distinct abiotic requirements than D. denieri and D. lutzii, and environmental distribution models suggested a significant reduction in its suitable areas during the Quaternary, especially in Southern Brazil. This suggests that the current sympatry observed in this region likely reflects a secondary contact between the three species resulting from niche divergence processes. Altogether, these results advance the understanding of the distribution and phylogenetic relationships of Neotropical anthophilous Drosophila, revealing the interplay between ecological and historical factors in their speciation.

description: A Supply chain operation reference is a model that provides "a unique framework that links business process, metrics, best practices and technology into a unified structure to support communication among supply chain partners and to improve the effectiveness of supply chain management and related supply chain improvement activities. The aim of this study is to assess the performance of laboratory commodities supply chain of Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital. The study focused on five supply chain performance attributes which are supply chain reliability, supply chain responsiveness, supply chain agility, supply chain operational cost and inventory management Practice. A case study design using SCOR model was used to conduct the study on laboratory supply chain performance in Amanuel Specialized mental hospital. The research used both qualitative and quantitative approach. The quantitative data was analyzed using excel for descriptive statistics and the qualitative data was used to further explain the findings of the quantitative data. All one year data of report and request form, intra facility report and request form model, model 19 and 22, inventory reports, stock out report form, bin cards and stock cards were used. Census is sample selection technique to study the quantitative variable. Data for each metrics were obtained from the process components that are used to drive the calculation according to the SCOR guide. Structured data collection format and interview guide were used to collect data. Decomposition analysis method was used to measure the performance gap and identify root cause. The study found out that perfect order fulfillment of laboratory commodities were 25%. The order fulfillment cycle time was 54.45. The asset turnover rate was 0.72. Some of the root causes mainly contributed for low performance was unavailability laboratory commodities with required kind and quantity at distributers and delay to authorize payment. Therefore strengthening collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment between the hospital and suppliers, establishing long term supplier agreement between the private suppliers and Improving the authorization of payment timely are some of the recommended practices.

description: An’ām-i Sharīf, an Ottoman prayer book of the late 18th century, showing Sūrat al-Fātiḥa. Collective volume with texts in Arabic and Turkish, manuscript on brownish coloured European paper (with watermark, not further analyzed) of two different types (pp. 1-312, 313-412), written mostly in a bold, fully vocalized naskh script. Two (or possibly even three) hands can be distinguished: pp. 4-271, 272-310, 313-403, the first of which is of calligraphic quality, the others are less accomplished, and on p. 311 the colophon is written in thuluth script by the first or second copyist. The divide between the two sorts of paper coincides with the divide between hands. At the end of the volume (pp. 406-408) a Turkish text has been added, which is written in ruqʿa script within frames that were not used for the second part of the volume. The entire content of the volume is set within a composite frame (gold, red), black ink, with the use of gold and white ink, and several colours. Up till p. 311 the texts are written in 9 lines to the page (traces of the use of a misṭara), with cloud shaped divisions between the lines. From p. 313 onwards many calligraphic panels and drawings are given with a varied number of lines. The first part of the manuscript is dated 1201 (1786-1787), and was allegedly copied by Mūsā Efendi b. Ḥasan Efendi, a pupil of Ibrāhīm al-Rudūsī Efendi, but actually it was copied by Musṭạfā Ayyūb Efendīzāda (colophon on p. 311, see transcript and translation below). This first part has catchwords at the bottom of every verso page. Larger illuminations are on pp. 4 and 272, and in the text part there numerous smaller headings in white ink on a gold background. There are numerous illustrations in the second part (pp. 313-403). The volume is bound in a full-leather Islamic binding, with gilded ornamentation (borders, central medallion, corner pieces). Remnants of painted gold ornamentation on the edges (floral motifs) are still visible.

MODELING FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF 3D PRINTED TITANIUM ALLOYS
Creators: name: Kulkarni, Sanket Mukund
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 401706
subject: Numerical modelling and mechanical characterisation

description: Repeated loading and unloading cycles lead to the formation of strain in the material which causes initiation of the crack formation this phenomenon is called fatigue. Fatigue properties are critical for structures subject to cyclic load; hence fatigue analysis is used to predict the life of the material. Fatigue analysis plays an important role in optimizing the design of the 3D printed material and predicting the fatigue life of the 3D printed component.
The main objective of this thesis is to predict the fatigue behavior of different microstructures of Ti-64 titanium alloy by using the PRISMS-Fatigue open-source framework. To achieve this goal Ti-64 microstructure models were created using programming scripts, then the structures were exported to a finite element visualization software package, with all the required properties embedded in the pipeline. The PRISMS-Fatigue framework is used to conduct a fatigue analysis on 3D printed materials, using the Fatigue Indicator Parameters (FIP), which measure the driving force of fatigue crack formation in the microstructurally small crack growth.
Three different microstructures, i.e., cubic equiaxed, random equiaxed, and rolled equiaxed microstructures, are analyzed. The FIP results show that the cubic equiaxed grains have the best fatigue resistance due to their isotropic structural characteristics. Additionally, the grain size effect using 1 and 10 micrometers is investigated. The results show that the 1 micrometer grain size cubic equiaxed microstructure has a better fatigue resistance because as grains are small and they have a higher mechanical strength.

description: With the velocity vector and temperature of the pristine interstellar neutral (ISN) He recently obtained with high precision from a coordinated analysis summarized by McComas et al.2015b, we analyzed the IBEX observations of neutral He left out from this analysis. These observations were collected during the ISN observation seasons 2010---2014 and cover the region in the Earth's orbit where the Warm Breeze persists. We used the same simulation model and a very similar parameter fitting method to that used for the analysis of ISN He. We approximated the parent population of the Warm Breeze in front of the heliosphere with a homogeneous Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function and found a temperature of $\sim 9\,500$ K, an inflow speed of 11.3 km s$^{-1}$, and an inflow longitude and latitude in the J2000 ecliptic coordinates $251.6^\circ$, $12.0^\circ$. The abundance of the Warm Breeze relative to the interstellar neutral He is 5.7\% and the Mach number is 1.97. The newly found inflow direction of the Warm Breeze, the inflow directions of ISN H and ISN He, and the direction to the center of IBEX Ribbon are almost perfectly co-planar, and this plane coincides within relatively narrow statistical uncertainties with the plane fitted only to the inflow directions of ISN He, ISN H, and the Warm Breeze. This co-planarity lends support to the hypothesis that the Warm Breeze is the secondary population of ISN He and that the center of the Ribbon coincides with the direction of the local interstellar magnetic field. The common plane for the direction of inflow of ISN gas, ISN H, the Warm Breeze, and the local interstellar magnetic field %includes the Sun and is given by the normal direction: ecliptic longitude $349.7^\circ \pm 0.6^\circ$ and latitude $35.7^\circ \pm 0.6^\circ$ in the J2000 coordinates, with the correlation coefficient of 0.85.

The Effect of Inlet Clearance Geometry on the Performance of a Centrifugal Fan
Creators: name: Gasiorek, Janusz M
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1971

description: A commercially manufactured, medium specific speed centrifugal fan, having an impeller with ten serofoil blades and a conical shroud was used to determine the effect of changing the geometry of the: inlet a clearance on performance. This was achieved by moving the “impeller axially, thus altering the intrusion of a fixed and stationary inlet cone into the rotating impeller. Full fan characteristics were determined for various settings of the intrusion. Yawmeter traversing was carried out at impeller outlet and thus velocity distributions were determined. This led to the calculation of a "distribution factor", which was introduced as a measure of uniformity of outlet velocities in the meridional plane. Velocities of air issuing from the inlet clearance into the impeller were measured using a hot wire anemometer. This enabled the volumetric efficiencies to be calculated for various settings. of the inlet clearance and at different points on fan characteristic. It was established that the volumetric efficiency increased with the decreasing clearance area and it also increaséd with the: increasing fan flowrate. The geometry of the clearance was found to be of secondary importance. It was however primarily responsible for the changes in the distribution factor. Thus, an increasing intrusion resulted in an increasing value of ‘the distribution factor and simultaneously caused the volumetric efficiency to decrease. Optimum performance and the best fan total efficiency were achieved when: the product of the distribution factor and the volumetric efficiency attained a maximum. In addition a new ‘surface flow visualisation technique was developed. Its application to the shroud demonstrated flow separation, downstream of the impeller lip, mixing between the re-circulatory and the main flows and their reattachment to the shroud. These findings were in good agreement with the values of the distribution factor: low values correspond to large separation areas and vice versa. The existence of a passage vortex near the shroud was also demonstrated. Results of a two-dimensional investigation carried out initially provide some supporting evidence. Finally, a tentative exploration of the flow phenomena resulting from the interaction between the re-circulatory flow through the clearance and the main flow is offered on the basis of the results of this investigation.

description: The importance of school leadership and workplace stress is a recurring theme in education-based research. The literature reports that workplace stress in teaching is a difficult matter to resolve, with mixed outcomes from interventions. The aim of this initial scoping study was to report on the experiences of school leaders with interpersonal conflict (IPC), a known cause of this workplace stress. Accordingly, a sample of twelve school leaders working in Irish post primary schools were recruited to participate in this study using semi-structured interviews. All twelve participants reported experiencing workplace stress and linked other people as a source of this stress. Nine out of twelve had experienced IPC as a school leader. School leaders also noted a fear of reporting workplace stress. Half of the participants reported becoming ill from workplace stress and had taken time off from work. Participants also reported ‘balkanisation’ of like-minded cliques that tried to exert control over other groups. None of the participants expressed confidence in organisational strategies to resolve workplace stress or IPC. This study demonstrates that resolutions for IPC were scant. Further research is needed to conceptualise this phenomenon in the school environment and to support school leaders to effectively manage IPC as a cause of workplace stress.

description: We report on the observation of periodic conductance oscillations near quantum Hall plateaus in suspended graphene nanoribbons. They are attributed to single quantum dots that form in the narrowest part of the ribbon, in the valleys and hills of a disorder potential. In a wide flake with two gates, a double-dot system's signature has been observed. Electrostatic confinement is enabled in single-layer graphene due to the gaps that form between Landau levels, suggesting a way to create gate-defined quantum dots that can be accessed with quantum Hall edge states.

Assessment of Factors Influencing Freight Mode and Carrier Selection: the Case of Packtra Plc. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Ayele, Atitegeb

Year: 2017

description: Due to an increasingly competitive market, companies forced to give due emphasis on determinants of freight transportation mode and carrier choice. Nowadays, having the best production system, producing with the best quality and offering to sale at the cheapest price are not enough to achieve competitiveness on the market. Business enterprises required to deliver their end-products to end-customers at the right time with the optimum way. Nonetheless, a delay of freight in transit is common problem for most land locked countries. Ethiopia, as one of these countries, is a victim of long transit periods coupled with additional transit charges. To this end, investigating and analyzing the factors contributing to the delay are worth of pondering. Hence, the purpose of this study was identifying factors influencing freight mode and carrier choice in the case of Packtra Plc, which is a company involved in the activities of inland logistic provision service in Ethiopia. The influence of important factors such as cost, time and reliability, safety and security, capacity, service, product nature, IT and managerial decision have been considered. The study has incorporated both primary and secondary source of data. The primary data was collected using 5 scale Likert's scale questionnaire. Secondary data was collected using journal articles and internet website. Out of 70 total populations 61 valid responses were collected. The data was analyzed descriptively through the use of Statistical Packages for Social Studies (SPSS) version 20. Result is presented in tables. The study tried to focus on factors of influencing freight transport mode and carrier choice. Consequently, it has been revealed that transportation price, purchasing contract, reliability of on time delivery, reliability of on time pickup, and product characteristics related factors influencing freight transport mode and carrier selection of the Packtra. Among the factors, the issues of security are very important for the reliability and safe arrivals of goods. It is concerned with the wellbeing of the goods in transit. Companies should consider the issues of security seriously. However safety and security being considered least preferred determinants factors of freight mode and carrier choice factor

description: Agroecology has been a focus of intense debate in France since 2012, when the idea was explicitly adopted as a national policy objective by theMinistry of Agriculture. This article intervenes in this debate by documenting and describing an under-recognized, “silent” agroecology practiced by conventional farmers contending with a variety of threats— economic, technical, and climatic—to their farming systems. Inspired by the sociology of development, the research summarized here shows how these farmers have relied on peerto- peer cooperation, and specifically on formal equipment-sharing arrangements, to develop a range of practices allowing for the ecological improvement of their farming systems. These farmers make few claims with regard to the environmental benefits of their innovations, however: instead, they emphasize their desire for improved farm autonomy. Out of respect for the social and professional dynamics within which they operate, moreover, these farmers tend to avoid ecological terms and topics in their peer-to-peer conversations. This “silence” is reinforced by the statistical tools used to report on French agriculture, which make little note of such farmers’ activities, effectively excluding these practices from assessments of the ecologization of French agriculture. Finally, given the challenges these farmers face in locating necessary resources elsewhere in the agrifood sector (suppliers, research and development, markets), the ecological benefits of these new practices are not always fully realized. Nevertheless, the scale and significance of this silent agroecology—the conditions for which are also present in other Western countries—suggest an urgent need to reorient public policy frameworks to better support the agroecological transition.

The approach we take introduces an averaging argument that explicitly involves the considered parameters. This averaging argument is applied to a generalized Loeliger ensemble to provide a more practical proof of the existence of AWGN-good lattices, and to characterize suitable parameters for the lattice Gaussian coding scheme proposed by Ling and Belfiore.

description: Recent advances in engineering and control of nanoscale quantum sensors have opened new paradigms in precision metrology. Unfortunately, hardware restrictions often limit the sensor performance. In nanoscale magnetic resonance probes, for instance, finite sampling times greatly limit the achievable sensitivity and spectral resolution. We develop a technique for coherent quantum interpolation that can overcome these problems. Using a quantum sensor associated with the Nitrogen Vacancy center in diamond, we experimentally demonstrate that quantum interpolation can achieve spectroscopy of classical magnetic fields and individual quantum spins with orders of magnitude finer frequency resolution than conventionally possible. Not only is quantum interpolation an enabling technique to extract structural and chemical information from single biomolecules, but it can be directly applied to other quantum systems for super-resolution quantum spectroscopy.

description: Methanol is a common component of interstellar and circumstellar ice mantles and is often used as an evolution indicator in star-forming regions. The observations of gas-phase methanol in the interiors of dense molecular clouds at temperatures as low as 10 K suggests that a non-thermal ice desorption must be active. Ice photodesorption was proposed to explain the abundances of gas-phase molecules toward the coldest regions. Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the potential photodesorption of methanol toward the coldest regions. Solid methanol was deposited at 8 K and UV-irradiated at various temperatures starting from 8 K. The irradiation of the ice was monitored by means of infrared spectroscopy and the molecules in the gas phase were detected using quadrupole mass spectroscopy. Fully deuterated methanol was used for confirmation of the results. The photodesorption of methanol to the gas phase was not observed in the mass spectra at different irradiation temperatures. We estimate an upper limit of 3x10e-5 molecules per incident photon. On the other hand, photon-induced desorption of the main photoproducts was clearly observed. The negligible photodesorption of methanol could be explained by the ability of UV-photons in the 114 - 180 nm (10.87 - 6.88 eV) range to dissociate this molecule efficiently. Therefore, the presence of gas-phase methanol in the absence of thermal desorption remains unexplained. On the other hand, we find CH_4 to desorb from irradiated methanol ice, which was not found to desorb in the pure CH_4 ice irradiation experiments.

description: The two dimensional one component plasma 2dOCP is a classical system consisting of $N$ identical particles with the same charge $q$ confined in a two dimensional surface with a neutralizing background. The Boltzmann factor at temperature $T$ may be expressed as a Vandermonde determinant to the power $Γ=q^2/(k_B T)$. Several statistical properties of the 2dOCP have been studied by expanding the Boltzmann factor in the monomial basis for even values of $Γ$. In this work, we use this formalism to compute the energy of the 2dOCP on a sphere. Using the same approach the entropy is computed. The entropy as well as the free energy in the thermodynamic limit have a universal finite-size correction term $\fracχ{12}\log N$, where $χ=2$ is the Euler characteristic of the sphere. A non-recursive formula for coefficients of monomial functions expansion is used for exploring the energy as well as structural properties for sufficiently large values of $Γ$ to appreciate the crystallization features for $N=2,3,\ldots,9$ particles. Finally, we make a brief comparison between the exact and numerical energies obtained with the Metropolis method for even values of $Γ$.

description: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian disaster response operation with respect to service provision and response rate of the organization in discussion, which is Jesuit Refugee service (JRS). The researcher has used cense data collection and descriptive data analysis methods respectively for the study. The major finding of the research was that JRS have problems of delivering services efficiently, does not have established means of combating the problem at hand, does not have plan to address disasters rather focus on programs, decision making depends on donors, does not integrate the four disaster relief operations elements and finally does not have sufficient infrastructure. The significance of the study is to add to the existing academic writings on the subject in addition it will also highlight the current situation of disaster relief logistics in humanitarian organization in relation to refugee camps and their performance as well as aid anyone who wants to conduct further study on the subject. Key words: Humanitarian Logistics, Efficiency, Decision making
Search for Extremely Metal-poor Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (II): high electron temperature objects

description: Extremely metal-poor (XMP) galaxies are defined to have gas-phase metallicity smaller than a tenth of the solar value (12 + log[O/H] < 7.69). They are uncommon, chemically and possibly dynamically primitive, with physical conditions characteristic of earlier phases of the Universe. We search for new XMPs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in a work that complements Paper I. This time high electron temperature objects are selected; since metals are a main coolant of the gas, metal- poor objects contain high-temperature gas. Using the algorithm k-means, we classify 788677 spectra to select 1281 galaxies having particularly intense [OIII]4363 with respect to [OIII]5007, which is a proxy for high electron temperature. The metallicity of these candidates was computed using a hybrid technique consistent with the direct method, rendering 196 XMPs. A less restrictive noise constraint provides a larger set with 332 candidates. Both lists are provided in electronic format. The selected XMP sample have mean stellar mass around 10^8Msun, with dust-mass \sim 10^3Msun for typical star-forming regions. In agreement with previous findings, XMPs show a tendency to be tadpole-like or cometary. Their underlying stellar continuum corresponds to a fairly young stellar population (< 1Gyr), although young and aged stellar populations co-exists at the low-metallicity starbursts. About 10% of the XMPs shows large N/O. Based on their location in constrained cosmological numerical simulations, XMPs have a strong tendency to appear in voids and to avoid galaxy clusters. The puzzling 2%-solar low-metallicity threshold exhibited by XMPs remains.

title: Cross-Supply Chain Collaboration Platform for Pallet Management
Creators: name: Lehner, Roland
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: Standardized pallets are an important factor in today's logistics sector to enable efficient processes in transport, storage and handling. By using an open exchange pool for pallets, additional opportunities arise for horizontal and vertical collaboration of various actors from different supply chains. The dissertation "Cross-Supply Chain Collaboration Platform for Pallet Management" investigates the potential of a digital platform for such cross-actor collaboration in pallet management. The designed platform has special mechanisms for balancing pallet debts that arise in the network and for joint planning of empty pallet flows. Therefore, the impact of the designed platforms on logistic processes, especially transports, is explored using simulation modeling. Furthermore, blockchain technology is investigated, which could be used for the implementation of the platform concept and could generate trust in a network of unknown actors. In this context, an empirical online-experiment is used to analyze in a differentiated way which specific features of the blockchain technology generate trust in technology and how these features interact with each other.

description: With the advent of increasingly complex radio systems at higher frequencies and the slowing of traditional CMOS process scaling with power concerns, there has been an increased focus on integration, architectural, and material innovations as a continued path forward in MEMS and logic. This work presents the first comprehensive experimental study of resonant body transistors in a commercial 14nm FinFET process, demonstrating differential radio frequency transduction as a function of transistor biasing through electrostatic, piezoresistive, and threshold voltage modulation. The impact of device design changes on unreleased resonator performance are further explored, highlighting the importance of phononic confinement in achieving an f*Q product of 8.2*1011 at 11.73 GHz. Also shown are initial efforts towards the understanding of coupled oscillator architectures and a perovskite nickelate material system. Finally, development of resonators based on two-dimensional materials, whose scale is particularly attractive for high-frequency nano-mechanical resonators and acoustic devices, is discussed. Experiments towards dry transfer of tellurene flakes using geometries printed via two photon polymerization are presented along with optimization of a fabrication process for gated RF devices, presenting new opportunities for high-frequency electro-mechanical interactions in this topological material.
Scarce defects induce anomalous deterministic diffusion

description: We introduce a simple model of deterministic particles in weakly disordered media which exhibits a transition from normal to anomalous diffusion. The model consists of a set of non-interacting overdamped particles moving on a disordered potential. The disordered potential can be thought as a substrate having some "defects" scattered along a one-dimensional line. The distance between two contiguous defects is assumed to have a heavy-tailed distribution with a given exponent $α$, which means that the defects along the substrate are scarce if $α$ is small. We prove that this system exhibits a transition from normal to anomalous diffusion when the distribution exponent $α$ decreases, i.e., when the defects become scarcer. Thus we identify three distinct scenarios: a normal diffusive phase for $α>2$, a superdiffusive phase for $1/2

La Strategia dell’impresa tra Ieri e Oggi: Dalla Prevedibilita’ alla Creazione del Futuro

description: Gli approcci tradizionali alla strategia, basandosi sulla prevedibilità del futuro, si focalizzano su “dove vogliamo andare” ed enfatizzano la scelta di un mercato altamente attrattivo, la definizione di un’unica posizione strategica, la creazione di una vision e la costruzione di competenze core. Solo successivamente viene deciso come raggiungere detta posizione. L’alto dinamismo che caratterizza il mercato nei tempi attuali, rendendo problematica la previsione del futuro, ha fatto emergere l’importanza dell’abilità a gestire il cambiamento come driver della performance. Dato che il cambiamento rappresenta al presente la sfida strategica più importante, a partire dal primo decennio del nuovo secolo si è intravista la possibilità di recepire nel processo di decisione della strategia le teorie della complessità e dell’evoluzione, proprie delle scienze biologiche, che hanno come focus la crescita e il cambiamento. Da qui la genesi e lo sviluppo del processo di decisione della “Strategia alla Soglia”. In questo scritto, dopo aver tratteggiato l’evoluzione della Teoria della Strategia dell’impresa, introduciamo la Teoria della Complessità e sviluppiamo, nel quadro dei suoi principi, il processo di decisione della “Strategia alla Soglia”. Questo ci permetterà di evidenziare come la stessa possa permettere all’impresa che la persegue di realizzare l’innovazione, tramite la quale “costruire il suo futuro”. Nell’ultima parte dello scritto prospettiamo brevemente la Strategia alla Soglia delle imprese di alcuni settori particolarmente dinamici, quali sono quelli dell’Alta Moda, delle Biotecnologie e di Industria 4.0.
