description: This systematic review summarizes current evidence on the impact of bariatric surgery (BS) on physical performance, metabolic, and health indices in adults with obesity. This systematic review suggests that BS induced significant reductions in body weight, fat mass, and fat-free mass in individuals with obesity. Additionally, BS may improve many physical fitness and health indicators. Observed improvements manifest during a distinct period of time. To date, studies on BS and performance have been small in number, nonrandomized in design, and not controlled regarding gender distribution and/or post-surgery follow-up. Future studies should further investigate concerns associated with understanding of BS outcomes to improve these outcomes with potential benefits for quality of life, disability, mortality, morbidity, and overall BS success.Other Information Published in: Obesity Surgery

Designing and Applying Librarygame Website Software and Investigating its Impact on Self-determination Factors of Library Users
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: Nowadays, libraries face the “engagement crisis” according to the development of information and communication technologies as well as the presence of electronic information providers in digital environments. Accordingly, one of the most new presence concepts in this field is “gamifying the library services”. Gamification has been defined as a process of enhancing services with motivational affordances in order to invoke gameful experiences and behavioral outcomes. So, this research aims to design the librarygame website and investigate the effect of its implementation on self-determination dimensions among the users of central library of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences. This is an applied study which has been done by a “pretest-posttest design” approach. The population included all medical library and information science students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences (N=45). First, the librarygame website named “Ketabdan” designed based on gathered data by systematic review. Then, the pretest-posttest design was applied to study the effect of Ketabdan software on the participants using “Player (User) Experience of Need Satisfaction Scale” questionnaire. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze data. The results showed that the original library website had a low adaptability level with self-determination dimensions of the users; conversely, the librarygame website had been shown a high adaptability level with self-determination dimensions of the users. Also, the rate of the effectiveness of Ketabdan software on four dimensions of self-determination was high, while the original library website was low. According to the importance and necessity of gamifying academic library websites, library managers should design websites based on game dynamics, mechanics, and elements as well as basic psychological needs of users. This may result in the users’ engagement and loyalty.
Identification of Bibliographic Relationships in the National Library and Archives of Iran (NLAI) According to the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) Model: the First Stage in Representing the Knowledge Network of Iranian-Islamic Publications
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: The aim of this study is to find out the bibliographic relationships between the metadata records in the National Library and Archives of Iran (NLAI) according to FRBR model, in order to represent the Knowledge network of Iranian-Islamic publications. To achieve this objective, the content analysis method was used. The study population includes metadata records for books in NLAI for four bibliographic families including Quran, Nahj al-Balagha,Shahnameh, and Masnavi (a total of 28213 records), that were accessible through the NLAI OPAC. In this study, the data gathering methods were structured (systematic) observation and documentary method. A checklist is used for data gathering, and a matrix is used to display the analyzed data. The results of the study showed that all relationship types of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model, except the “arrangement (music)” relationship from the section “Expression-to-Expression Relationships: between expressions of the same work”, were found in metadata records. Since the “arrangement (music)” relationship is used only for musical objects, so it can be concluded that NLAI encompasses the entire range of the FRBR relationship types that provided for books. The results of this study can be useful to implement FRBR model in persian libraries, and also to design NLAI metadata ontology model and create and publish the NLAI dataset based on linked data method.

description: The present study tends to investigate the relation between the complexity and semantic distance of Icons and their Effectiveness in searching module of Simorgh, Azarakhsh and Nika applications. Following a correlational survey, the participants of this research consisted of two groups: specialists and end-users. The former consisted of 30 PhD in Knowledge and Information Science, and the latter included undergraduate students of Shiraz University. First, the effective and non-effective icons were identified by end-users. Then, their complexity and semantic distance was investigated by specialists. The results of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference between effective and non-effective icons; effective icons have less complexity and semantic distance than non-effective icons. Furthermore, it showed a significant strong relationship between the complexity of icons and their semantic distance. The more complexity, the more semantic distance it was, and vice versa. Despite the importance of the studies on the relation between the complexity and semantic distance of icons and their effectiveness, little attention is paid to it in the area of digital library applications. Investigating the studies on the relation between the complexity and semantic distance of icons and their effectiveness may clarify effective icons’ features. It also helps designers to design effective icons and build better and easier interaction between users and digital library application.

description: We use six years (2003 to 2008) of Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment III microlensing observations to derive the survey detection efficiency for a range of planetary masses and projected distances from the host star. We perform an independent analysis of the microlensing light curves to extract the event parameters and compute the planet detection probability given the data. 2433 light curves satisfy our quality selection criteria and are retained for further processing. The aggregate of the detection probabilities over the range explored yields the expected number of microlensing planet detections. We employ a Galactic model to convert this distribution from dimensionless to physical units, α/au and M_E. The survey sensitivity to small planets is highest in the range 1 to 4 au, shifting to slightly larger separations for more massive ones.

description: The observed presence of water molecules in the dayside lunar regolith was an unexpected discovery and remains poorly understood. Standard thermophysical models predict temperatures that are too high for adsorbed water to be stable. We propose that this problem can be caused by the assumption of locally flat surfaces that is common in such models. Here we apply a model that explicitly considers surface roughness, and accounts for solar illumination, shadows cast by topography, self-heating, thermal reradiation, and heat conduction. We couple the thermophysical model to a model of first-order desorption of lunar surface water and demonstrate that surface roughness substantially increases the capability of the Moon to retain water on its sunlit hemisphere at any latitude, and within $45^{\circ}$ of the poles, at any time of the lunar day. Hence, we show that lunar surface roughness has a strong influence on lunar water adsorption and desorption. Therefore, it is of critical importance to take account of surface roughness to get an accurate picture of the amount of water on the Moon's surface and in its exosphere.

description: During accelerated lifetime testing of dye sensitized solar cells high temperature and intense
illumination have been identified as critical stress factors. It is known that the choice of dye and electrolyte
determines cell stability to a large extent. In this paper we have applied a combination of Z907 dye and a derivative
of so called “Maxell electrolyte”, which supports optimal cell stability. Several ageing tests have been carried out at
elevated temperatures (up to 80°C) in the dark and under illumination conditions. TiCl4 treatment of titanium dioxide
is unexpectedly identified as an important factor to increase cell stability at high temperature. The nature of the
nanoporous TiO2 film is greatly changed by this treatment. Interactions between the modified TiO2/dye/electrolyte
also influence the sensitivity of the system towards moisture. It appears that the modification of TiO2 by means of a
TiCl4 post treatment is essential to realize a stable cell.

description: We introduce a fast algorithm for computing volume potentials - that is, the convolution of a translation invariant, free-space Green's function with a compactly supported source distribution defined on a uniform grid. The algorithm relies on regularizing the Fourier transform of the Green's function by cutting off the interaction in physical space beyond the domain of interest. This permits the straightforward application of trapezoidal quadrature and the standard FFT, with superalgebraic convergence for smooth data. Moreover, the method can be interpreted as employing a Nystrom discretization of the corresponding integral operator, with matrix entries which can be obtained explicitly and rapidly. This is of use in the design of preconditioners or fast direct solvers for a variety of volume integral equations. The method proposed permits the computation of any derivative of the potential, at the cost of an additional FFT.

description: Some patients experience weight regain (WR) or insufficient weight loss (IWL) after bariatric surgery (BS). We undertook a scoping review of WR and IWL after BS. We searched electronic databases for studies addressing the definitions, prevalence, mechanisms, clinical significance, preoperative predictors, and preventive and treatment approaches including behavioral, pharmacological, and surgical management strategies of WR and IWL. Many definitions exist for WR, less so for IWL, resulting in inconsistencies in the reported prevalence of these two conditions. Mechanisms and preoperative predictors contributing to WR are complex and multifactorial. A range of the current knowledge gaps are identified and questions that need to be addressed are outlined. Therefore, there is an urgent need to address these knowledge gaps for a better evidence base that would guide patient counseling, selection, and lead to improved outcomes.Other Information Published in: Obesity Surgery

Performance of Metadata Structure of Digital Identifier Systems: Comparative Evaluation
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: The main solution to the problems of persistency and uniqueness in identification of digital objects in a web environment is provided by using digital identifiers instead of URL. The main basis of this solution is resolution mechanism that is used in digital identifier systems. Resolution is the use of indirect names instead of URLs; what worked for the DNS (Domain Name System) in stabilizing internet hostnames should work for digital object references. Considering that this mechanism is known as the technical backbone of the digital identifier systems, these systems are trying different ways to implement this mechanism with high technical and content quality. Accordingly, performance evaluation of the resolution structure in digital identifier systems is considered in this study. To achieve this goal, two-step process was designed and implemented on the basis of illustrative evaluation method. In the first step, the basic framework of metadata structure component evaluation was designed with Delphi method. Designed basic framework in this step contains 9 performance indicators: conceptual and technical persistency of resolution, interoperability, reliability, speed and performance, scalability, multiple resolution, Internet functionality and no need to install. In the second step, according to the designed basic framework, an illustrative comparison of 6 well-known worldwide digital identifier systems was carried out, using TOPSIS method. Results of this study revealed that DOI, Handle and UCI identifier systems show high performance in their metadata structure, while PURL and ARK systems respectively have mediocre and low efficiency in this component and URN Systems do not have any performance in this component due to the lack of implemented resolution structures. Analysis of the results also indicated that the main reasons for high performance systems are using of Web proxy as a user interface, increasing the speed and performance using solutions such as replication and cache and implementation of multiple resolution mechanisms. The results of this study can be used by researchers of this field and administrators and users of these systems.

description: We investigate the process of reionisation in a model in which the dark matter is a warm elementary particle such as a sterile neutrino. We focus on models that are consistent with the dark matter decay interpretation of the recently detected line at 3.5 keV in the X-ray spectra of galaxies and clusters. In warm dark matter models the primordial spectrum of density perturbations has a cut-off on the scale of dwarf galaxies. Structure formation therefore begins later than in the standard cold dark matter (CDM) model and very few objects form below the cut-off mass scale. To calculate the number of ionising photons, we use the Durham semi-analytic model of galaxy formation, GALFORM. We find that even the most extreme 7 keV sterile neutrino we consider is able to reionise the Universe early enough to be compatible with the bounds on the epoch of reionisation from Planck. This, perhaps surprising, result arises from the rapid build-up of high redshift galaxies in the sterile neutrino models which is also reflected in a faster evolution of their far-UV luminosity function between $10>z>7$ than in CDM. The dominant sources of ionising photons are systematically more massive in the sterile neutrino models than in CDM. As a consistency check on the models, we calculate the present-day luminosity function of satellites of Milky Way-like galaxies. When the satellites recently discovered in the DES survey are taken into account, strong constraints are placed on viable sterile neutrino models.

description: Recommender systems deployed in real-world applications can have inherent exposure bias, which leads to the biased logged data plaguing the researchers. A fundamental way to address this thorny problem is to collect users' interactions on randomly expose items, i.e., the missing-at-random data. A few works have asked certain users to rate or select randomly recommended items, e.g., Yahoo!, Coat, and OpenBandit. However, these datasets are either too small in size or lack key information, such as unique user ID or the features of users/items. In this work, we present KuaiRand, an unbiased sequential recommendation dataset containing millions of intervened interactions on randomly exposed videos, collected from the video-sharing mobile App, Kuaishou. Different from existing datasets, KuaiRand records 12 kinds of user feedback signals (e.g., click, like, and view time) on randomly exposed videos inserted in the recommendation feeds in two weeks. To facilitate model learning, we further collect rich features of users and items as well as users' behavior history. By releasing this dataset, we enable the research of advanced debiasing large-scale recommendation scenarios for the first time. Also, with its distinctive features, KuaiRand can support various other research directions such as interactive recommendation, long sequential behavior modeling, and multi-task learning. The dataset and its news will be available at https://kuairand.com.

description: In the past few years the quality of Edge-defined Film-fed Growth (EFG) silicon wafers has strongly improved and can now compete with most standard multicrystalline materials. As the wafer thickness decreases and meets the average diffusion length of the minority charge carriers, a dielectric rear side passivation can exceed the effectiveness of a standard aluminium Back Surface Field (BSF). To contact a dielectrically passivated rear side the concept of Laser Fired Contacts (LFC) is a very promising technique. Investigations for rear side passivation at the University of Konstanz (UKN) focus on a stack system of a thin thermal silicon oxide covered by a thick Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposited (PECVD) silicon nitride layer.

description: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly being linked to obesity. Although laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is effective for weight loss that can ultimately resolve NAFLD, an initial transient deterioration of liver functions could be observed during the first few months post-operatively, after which a subsequent improvement of the liver functions might occur. Rapid weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, and protein malnutrition can all contribute to hepatic dysfunction and can affect the metabolism of medications such as acetaminophen leading to more insult to a compromised liver. We report acute liver failure after LSG associated with protein calorie malnutrition, multiple nutritional deficiencies in addition to concomitant use of therapeutic doses of acetaminophen. Treatment with N-acetylcysteine, and replacement of deficient multivitamins and trace elements resulted in significant improvement in liver functions.Other Information Published in: Obesity Surgery

description: This study describes a new deposition technique of silicon nitride Antireflection Coating (ARC) at atmospheric pressure on silicon substrate. The depositions are carried out in a direct-PECVD reactor using a homogeneous Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) in Ar/SiH4/NH3 gas mixture. First, deposition rate and optical properties (refractive index n) of such nitride films are determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry in regards to precursor gases ratio (R= NH3/SiH4). For R varying from 1 to 10, the refractive index changes from 2,5 to 1,8. Then, films are analysed by Fourier Transformed InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy in order to establish a correlation between SiNx:H chemical composition and optical properties. Refractive index variation is linked to the Si-H bonds density.
Finally, the plasma phase is characterised by Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES), and SiH peak intensity is related to refractive index to develop an in-situ control of the plasma.

description: New spectroscopic observations of the halo hyper-velocity star candidate SDSS J121150.27+143716.2 ($V=17.92$ mag) revealed a cool companion to the hot subdwarf primary. The components have a very similar radial velocity and their absolute luminosities are consistent with the same distance, confirming the physical nature of the binary, which is the first double-lined hyper-velocity candidate. Our spectral decomposition of the Keck/ESI spectrum provided an sdB+K3V pair, analogous to many long-period subdwarf binaries observed in the Galactic disk. We found the subdwarf atmospheric parameters: $T_{\rm eff}=30\,600\pm500$ K, $\log{g}=5.57\pm0.06$ cm s$^{-2}$ and He abundance $\log(n{\rm He}/n{\rm H})=-3.0\pm0.2$. Oxygen is the most abundant metal in the hot subdwarf atmosphere, and Mg and Na lines are the most prominent spectral features of the cool companion, consistent with a metallicity of $[{\rm Fe}/{\rm H}]=-1.3$. The non-detection of radial velocity variations suggest the orbital period to be a few hundred days, in agreement with similar binaries observed in the disk. Using the SDSS-III flux calibrated spectrum we measured the distance to the system $d=5.5\pm0.5$ kpc, which is consistent with ultraviolet, optical, and infrared photometric constraints derived from binary spectral energy distributions. Our kinematic study shows that the Galactic rest-frame velocity of the system is so high that an unbound orbit cannot be ruled out. On the other hand, a bound orbit requires a massive dark matter halo. We conclude that the binary either formed in the halo or it was accreted from the tidal debris of a dwarf galaxy by the Milky Way.

description: Purpose Many revisional procedures are available for unsuccessful laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with complications or weight recidivism. Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB-MGB) are two revisional procedures to address the problem of weight recidivism. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the 2 revisional approaches (SADI-S vs. OAGB-MGB). Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected database of patients who underwent SADI-S or OAGB-MGB as a revisional procedure for weight recidivism after primary LSG with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Weight loss, comorbidities, nutritional deficiencies, complications, and outcomes were compared in the 2 procedures. Results Ninety-one patients were included in the study (42 SADI-S and 49 OAGB-MGB). There was a significant weight loss (total weight loss percentage, TWL%) at 1-year follow-up observed for SADI-S when compared to OAGB-MGB (23.7 ± 5.7 vs. 18.7 ± 8.5, p = 0.02). However, this difference was not statistically significant at 18 months (26.4 ± 7.3 vs. 21.2 ± 11.0, p = 0.25). Remission of comorbidities (diabetes mellitus and hypertension) was comparable. Although OAGB-MGB had higher complication rate than SADI-S, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.39). No mortality was reported in the study groups. Conclusion Both SADI-S and OAGB-MGB are effective and safe revisional procedures for weight regain after LSG. The short-term outcomes are comparable; however, SADI-S is associated with less upper gastrointestinal complications and could be a better option for patients suffering from GERD post-LSG. Moreover, the underlying bile reflux may get worse with OAGB-MGB. However, further prospective larger studies are needed.Other Information Published in: Obesity Surgery

description: Are financial incentives such as feed-in tariffs the sole driver of PV capacity growth, as commonly implied in
the literature? This research tests the hypothesis that incentives promote PV more by making it financeable than by making it
lucrative. If profit is the principal driver, then PV capacity should predominantly be in locations which offer the highest
investment return, namely where insolation and thus array output is higher. The dataset used comprises 1209 German
communities participating in the 'Solar League' 2008-09. A mixed picture emerges. On some views of the data, correlation
emerges between the location of PV capacity and projected array output (hence investment return). But on other views the
two do not correlate. It is, however, in any event clear that substantial PV capacity has been installed in places where
projected investment return is relatively low, consistent with the hypothesis. Continuing work includes a fieldwork survey in

Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: The aim of this study is to analyze the status of Iranian scientific production in selected areas relating to science and information technology including information technology, management, and library and information science by scientometric and social network analysis indicators. This research has a look on the approach of the scientific outputs of Iranian scholars indexed in WOS database. In order to identify the status of the scientific cooperation between researchers, the co-authorship network of these researchers has been studied. After reviewing the literature, all records related to the selected areas were extracted from WOS database.Then the retrieved data sets were examined based on quantitative indicators (the number of scientific outputs) and qualitative indicators (the number of citations, h-index, etc.). Finally, the co-authorship network for each of the fields was drawn using network analysis method and appropriate software. This network was examined using social network analysis indicators such as density, clustering coefficient and centrality. The density degree of the co-authorship network in all three areas is down, and the authorships (nodes) have little communication with each other. The average of clustering coefficient index of the networks, especially in the field of information technology, represents a relatively high tendency of the network members to form different clusters. By determining the centrality (degree, betweenness and closeness) of authors, their performance and the best writers for each of these indices were found. The results of this research can be effective in research policies by determining the dimensions of scientific cooperation in each of the studied areas.

description: It has been generally acceptable that dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) plays important roles compared
to the conventional solar cells in accordance with its low manufacturing and fabrication cost. Since DSSC consists of
many interfaces between anode and cathode such as semiconductor to dye and dye to electrolyte and electrolyte to
platinum catalyst at the cathode, those interfaces might increase charge recombination effect. Therefore, the effect of
charge recombination at dye-electrolyte interface is a major role to cell efficiency. One of major implementations to
alleviate the recombination effect could be efficiently solved by adding hydrophobic co-adsorbent to dye solution.
The co-absorbent molecule will be anchored to titanium dioxide semiconductor like dye and can be the barrier to
protect the interface of the tri-iodide, dye and mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2).
In this work we have investigated the characteristic of dye sensitized solar cell using various bile-acid as
co-absorbent such as cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid. I-V characteristics are used to determine the
photovoltaic performance of the cell. Best cell performance of 8.3 efficiency with the presence of cholic acid might
be caused by the shift of conduction band (CB) to negative direction by the cholic acid.
Time-Based Way Finding at the Library of Agriculture Information and Scientific Documents Center (ASIDC)
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: Nowadays, Geographic Information Systems applications enter in libraries and information centers and some advanced libraries in the world use the benefits of GIS in general to improve the space and resources. The present study aimed to implement a way finding system in order to facilitate the users’ access to the facilities and services in the library of the Agriculture Information and Scientific Documents Center.\nThis is an applied research, in which the required data were gathered from different sections of the library through a survey-descriptive method and observation technique for the correspondence between real information and the available maps. Data were entered, analyzed and the results were implemented through the Arc GIS software on the maps.\nThe illustrated maps had shown that they might be helpful in gaining a better understanding of the users’ access to the library entrance and facilities in order to improve its utility and efficiency. This is a new idea started to be used in the libraries of the world. Since the study dealing with the network traffic and the amount of time for non-negative ways, Dijkstra’s algorithm was used to Time-Based Way finding. After creating the database, determining the shortest path at the least time was possible.

description: An important parameter for a good bulk passivation of silicon solar cells is the hydrogen content of the silicon nitride anti reflexion layer [1,2]. Several studies [3,4] show that the hydrogen diffuses during the silicon nitride (SiN:H) deposion and the contact formation process into the bulk of the solar cell and passivates impurities and defects. In this work we present some results showing the benefit of an optimal hydrogen rate and a plasma pretreatment of the SiN especially for the bulk passivation. Additionally Nuclear Reaction Resonance Analysis measurements and effusion measurements were carried out for a better understanding of the hydrogen diffusion in the silicon nitride and at the boundary layer.

description: Solar power generation using polycrystalline silicon wafer has been rapidly growing in recent years. As a result, it is required to grasp strength characteristics of polycrystalline silicon wafer in order to enhance its quality. Scars and material defects should be taken into consideration when strength characteristics of polycrystalline silicon are evaluated since it is brittle material. In this paper, bending strength of polycrystalline silicon wafer for solar cells was measured, and evaluation regarding the cause of different strength, which depends on manufacturing conditions of wafer, was conducted based on fracture mechanics. Residual stress measurements using Raman spectrometry and observation with TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) were also conducted. Their results clarified the existence of numerous cracks on wafer surface that are supposed to be generated during slice process. Thus, it was confirmed that wafer strength depends on the machining damage in slice process. We can establish high reliability for PV modules as a result of modifying the slice conditions to improve the mechanical surface damage on
wafers and increase the wafer strength.
PARENTELA, AMICIZIA E SERVIZIO: LA SIGNORIA DI CABRINO FONDULO A CREMONA

description: Cabrino Fondulo came to power in very violent and sudden way, by betraying the two foremost members of the important Cavalcab� family, and he provoked the anger of the contemporary chronicler who emphasised his unscrupulousness and his bloodthirsty government. The aim of this thesis is to verify the relationships of the factions, the clients, the patronage, which allowed his rise to ?signore? di Cremona . It has been possible to discover who was in the group of Cabrino Fondulo?s faithful followers and officials through the manuscripts of decrees and legal city documents. Certain member of this family stood out and were of particular importance because he gave them important assignments as for example he entrusted to his cousin Fondulo de Fondulis the Santa Croce castle which was fundamental for the defence of Cremona. This family has been studied from some unpublished documents were two other characters were found and analysed: his friend Maffeo Mori, a man who was a strong figure in Cabrino Fondulo?s government and his vicarius Bonifacio Guiscardi who were related spiritually because Cabrino Fonfulo was godfather to this son.

description: Phonon properties of $\mathrm{Mo_3Sb_{7-x}Te_x}$ ($x=0,1.5, 1.7$), a potential high-temperature thermoelectric material, have been studied with inelastic neutron and x-ray scattering, and with first-principles simulations. The substitution of Te for Sb leads to pronounced changes in the electronic structure, local bonding, phonon density of states (DOS), dispersions, and phonon lifetimes. Alloying with tellurium shifts the Fermi level upward, near the top of the valence band, resulting in a strong suppression of electron-phonon screening, and a large overall stiffening of interatomic force-constants. The suppression in electron-phonon coupling concomitantly increases group velocities and suppresses phonon scattering rates, surpassing the effects of alloy-disorder scattering, and resulting in a surprising increased lattice thermal conductivity in the alloy. We also identify that the local bonding environment changes non-uniformly around different atoms, leading to variable perturbation strengths for different optical phonon branches. The respective roles of changes in phonon group velocities and phonon lifetimes on the lattice thermal conductivity are quantified. Our results highlight the importance of the electron-phonon coupling on phonon mean-free-paths in this compound, and also estimates the contributions from boundary scattering, umklapp scattering, and point-defect scattering.
