description: Se poser la question du rapport entre semiotique structuraliste et pragmatique peut sembler á première vue une entreprise peu prometteuse. N'est-ce pas que Saussure exclut explicitement la 'parole', domaine de la pragmatique, de la linguistique et de la semiologie? N'est-ce pas d'autre part que les pragmaticiens, qui sont d'habitude des linguistes et des philosophies du langage verbal, ne s'interessent que peu aux faits de signification autres que verbaux? Le fait que les deux courants de recherche vivent dans une confortable ignorance reciproque confirme l'impression qu'ils offrent peu d'interet l'un á l'autre. En y regardant de plus pres, on s'aperçoit pourtant qu'il n'en est pas du tout ainsi. Dans les pages qui suivent, nous voulons confirmer ceci en montrant les paralleles etonnantes et les divergences instructives entre la pensee de Luis J. Prieto, semioticien d'inspiration profondement structuraliste, et celle de H. Paul Grice, philosophe analytique d'importance decisive pour le développement de la pragmatique. Cette comparaison portera á eclaircir dans quelle mesure la semiotique prietienne contient deja une pragmatique (sans pourtant utiliser ce terme) et á proposer une integration de phenomenes pragmatiques n'etant pas prévus par Prieto dans sa theorie. La conception de la pragmatique sous-jacente sera celle qui détermine le domaine de la pragmatique comme celui des significations non codées (Posner 1997).

Humanitarian Intervention in US Foreign Policy: The Case of Kosovo
Creators: name: Stone, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: While many studies address the legality, the successfulness, or the morality of intervention, a direct look at the reasoning and justification for intervention given by policymakers has been overlooked in the wide range of literature on humanitarian intervention. Therefore, this thesis will address the reasons, from the perspective of US policymakers, behind the NATO military intervention in Kosovo in 1999. It will seek to explain the multiple reasons for intervention by touching on the ethical justification, national security concerns, and the role of international organizations such as NATO and the UN in spurring or hindering action. The purpose is to see why and under what circumstances US policymakers would choose to use their military to intervene in another countries affairs by analyzing policymaker's justifications for the intervention in the Kosovo conflict of 1999 as a case study. In general, this thesis will focus on the policymaker's reasoning for intervening in Kosovo rather than the actions within the intervention itself given the purpose is not to determine the success of humanitarian intervention but rather when policymakers' consider it justified.

description: Cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (CL) allows characterizing light emission in bulk and nanostructured materials and is a key tool in fields ranging from materials science to nanophotonics. Previously, CL measurements focused on the spectral content and angular distribution of emission, while the polarization was not fully determined. Here we demonstrate a technique to access the full polarization state of the cathodoluminescence emission, that is the Stokes parameters as a function of the emission angle. Using this technique, we measure the emission of metallic bullseye nanostructures and show that the handedness of the structure as well as nanoscale changes in excitation position induce large changes in polarization ellipticity and helicity. Furthermore, by exploiting the ability of polarimetry to distinguish polarized from unpolarized light, we quantify the contributions of different types of coherent and incoherent radiation to the emission of a gold surface, silicon and gallium arsenide bulk semiconductors. This technique paves the way for in-depth analysis of the emission mechanisms of nanostructured devices as well as macroscopic media.

Understanding global resource allocation in fission yeast through data analysis and coarse-grained mathematical modelling
Creators: name: Kleijn, Istvan Tariq
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Unicellular organisms can grow in a large variety of environments. Even in those supporting robust growth, cellular resources are limited and their relative allocation to gene expression programmes determines physiological states and global properties such as the growth rate and the cell size. I have approached this topic from two angles, namely a comprehensive analysis of a gene expression data set and the construction of coarse-grained resource allocation models (C-GRAMs). First, I studied a combined data set of protein and transcript abundances during growth of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe on various abundant nitrogen sources. Approximately half of gene expression was significantly correlated with the growth rate, and this came alongside wide-spread nutrient-specific expression. Genes positively correlated with the growth rate participated in protein production, whereas those negatively correlated mainly belonged to the environmental stress response programme. Critically, the expression of metabolic enzymes was mainly condition specific. Second, C-GRAMs are simple models of single cells, where large components of the macromolecular composition are abstracted into single entities. The dynamics and steady-state behaviour of such models can then be easily explored. A minimal C-GRAM with nitrogen and carbon pathways converging on biomass production described the effects of the uptake of sugars, ammonium, and/or compound nutrients such as amino acids on the translational resource allocation towards proteome sectors that maximised the growth rate. Prompted by new observations that the relation between cell volume and the growth rate was identical for both carbon and nitrogen perturbations, but that the surface-to-volume ratio was elevated in low-nitrogen conditions, I extended this to a C-GRAM that additionally accounted for the cell cycle, cell division, cell wall biosynthesis, and the effect of molecular crowding on the ribosomal efficiency.

description: In der Vergangenheit hat es umfangreiche Forschungsarbeiten über die mechanischen Eigenschaften von Rinderperikard gegeben, welches als biologisches Material für künstliche Herzklappen eingesetzt wird. Durch das Auftreten der Krankheit BSE in britischem Vieh wird heute jedoch nach alternativen Materialien gesucht. Humanes autogenes Perikard verspricht, keine Immunreaktionen auszulösen, die auch bei fixierten Fremdgeweben für eine allmähliche Kalzifizierung und damit Versprödung verantwortlich gemacht werden. Schweineperikard ist aufgrund seiner unbegrenzten Verfügbarkeit interessant. Eingehende Untersuchungen wurden vor allem mit verschiedenem tierischen Perikard durchgeführt. Die Testmethoden teilen sich in zwei Hauptgruppen mit uniaxialen bzw. biaxialen mechanischen Belastungen. Uniaxiale Zugversuche liefern grundlegende einfach reproduzierbare Daten, wohingegen biaxiale Belastungen als physiologischer angesehen werden, jedoch meist eine Reihe weiterer Parameter erfordern und einen komplexen Versuchsaufbau haben.

Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia and Heart Rate Reactivity Moderate the Relationship Between Racial Discrimination and Anxiety
Creators: name: Uri, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Racial discrimination may be conceptualized as a unique, chronic stressor that impacts the lives of Black individuals with multiple associations to negative mental and physical health outcomes. High rates of racial discrimination are typically associated with increased anxiety symptomology. The present study was designed to examine if this relation may be moderated by intraindividual differences in autonomic reactivity of Black undergraduate students, as reflected by cardiac regulation. Participants completed an online questionnaire to estimate lifetime experiences of racial discrimination and current anxiety symptomology. In a subsequent laboratory visit, electrocardiogram data were collected during a task designed to mimic a real-life encounter with racial discrimination. Heart regulation responses to this challenge were measured as change from baseline estimates of heart rate and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (heart rate reactivity and ΔRSA). Multiple regression analyses showed that both heart rate reactivity and ΔRSA moderate the relationship between reported frequency of racial discrimination and anxiety symptomology, even after controlling for the effects of age, gender, and parental education. Results also demonstrated that a high baseline heart rate can account for the same relation all by itself, as it overcomes the moderating effects of autonomic regulation. These results suggest that attention to processes of physiological regulation should be central to research aimed at identifying Black emerging adults most physically and mentally affected by racial discrimination throughout development.
Screening like-charges in one-dimensional Coulomb systems: Exact results

description: The possibility that like-charges can attract each other under the mediation of mobile counterions is by now well documented experimentally, numerically, and analytically. Yet, obtaining exact results is in general impossible, or restricted to some limiting cases. We work out here in detail a one dimensional model that retains the essence of the phenomena present in higher dimensional systems. The partition function is obtained explicitly, from which a wealth of relevant quantities follow, such as the effective force between the charges or the counterion profile in their vicinity. Isobaric and canonical ensembles are distinguished. The case of two equal charges screened by an arbitrary number $N$ of counterions is first studied, before the more general asymmetric situation is addressed. It is shown that the parity of $N$ plays a key role in the long range physics.

description: Constrained density functional theory (CDFT) is used to evaluate the energy level alignment of a benzene molecule as it approaches a graphene sheet. Within CDFT the problem is conveniently mapped onto evaluating total energy differences between different charge-separated states, and it does not consist in determining a quasi-particle spectrum. We demonstrate that the simple local density approximation provides a good description of the level aligmnent along the entire binding curve, with excellent agreement to experiments at an infinite separation and to GW calculations close to the bonding distance. The method also allows us to explore the effects due to the presence of graphene structural defects and of multiple molecules. In general all our results can be reproduced by a classical image charge model taking into account the finite dielectric constant of graphene.

description: 1H 0707-495 is the most convincing example of a supermassive black hole with an X-ray spectrum being dominated by extremely smeared, relativistic reflection, with the additional requirement of strongly supersoler iron abundance. However, here we show that the iron features in its 2--10 keV spectrum are rather similar to the archetypal wind dominated source, PDS 456. We fit all the 2--10 keV spectra from 1H 0707-495 using the same wind model as used for PDS 456, but viewed at higher inclination so that the iron absorption line is broader but not so blueshifted. This gives a good overall fit to the data from 1H 0707-495, and an extrapolation of this model to higher energies also gives a good match to the NuSTAR data. Small remaining residuals indicate that the iron line emission is stronger than in PDS 456. This is consistent with the wider angle wind expected from a continuum driven wind from the super-Eddington mass accretion rate in 1H 0707-495, and/or the presence of residual reflection from the underlying disk though the presence of the absorption line in the model removes the requirement for highly relativistic smearing, and highly supersoler iron abundance. We suggest that the spectrum of 1H 0707-495 is sculpted more by absorption in a wind than by extreme relativistic effects in strong gravity.

Experimental and computational studies into the effect of salinisation on Zn in solid-solution interactions relevant to tropical soils
Creators: name: Hanif, Md
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Salinization of soils and aquifers in coastal areas worldwide increases due to seawater level rise. Increasing concentrations of Na+ and Cl- associated with the salinity increase change the geochemical cycles of heavy metals like Zn and hence have a fundamental impact on the adsorption of Zn in soils. Zinc is a critical pollutant metal in soils due to industrial activities and solid-solution interface processes arguably exercise the most important control of the Zn cycle in soils and sediments. To this end, surface complexation models (SCMs) are a promising technique to define the adsorption of Zn at solid-solution interfaces in different environmental conditions. These models are based on experimental data, and whilst SCM has been successfully used and parametrised for Zn and other metals in saline solutions < 0.1 mol L-1 NaCl, this has not been achieved for solutions with higher salinity. This thesis aim was to better understand Zn adsorption on soils and goethite in NaCl saline solutions and evaluate surface complexation models (SCMs) performance to predict the effect of salinisation on zinc (Zn) interface processes in tropical soils. This work found that the Davies equation successfully corrects for changes in activities up to 0.7 mol L-1 ion strength. Zn species in the aqueous solution are largely controlled by complexation with inorganic ions (Cl, HCO3) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), especially at pH between 4 and 8. Zn complexation with Cl ions increases with increasing NaCl concentration from 0.1 to 0.3 and 0.7 mol L-1, therefore, decreasing Zn adsorption on soils at pH 3 to 6. The addition of carbonate ion (HCO3) in NaCl solutions does not change Zn adsorption in soils at [Zn]init = 0.08 mmol L-1, however, an increased (30 - 35%) of Zn adsorption is observed at pH 6 to 7.5 at [Zn]init = 0.8 mmol L-1. Multi-surface models (MSMs) with experimentally determined model parameters and generic surface complexation databases predict well Zn adsorption on soils in NaCl concentrations in the presence of carbonate. Model underprediction is generally observed at a low pH range (3 – 5) in 0.3 and 0.7 mol L-1 NaCl solution which might be primarily due to the absence of ternary surface complexation constants (≡FeO-ZnCl and ≡FeO-ZnHCO3) in the database of iron (hydr)oxides. To explore ternary surface complexes of Zn on goethite in 0.3 and 0.7 mol L-1 NaCl solution at low pH, a constant capacitance model protocol is established and successfully determines the stability constants of ternary surface complexes at [Zn]init = 0.08 mmol L-1. At [Zn]init = 0.8 mmol L-1, ternary surface complexes are not reported by model estimation. The results of this thesis highlighted that existing surface complexation databases well predict Zn adsorption in low concentrations of NaCl, but at higher concentrations (> 0.1 mol L-1 NaCl), the model databases need to incorporate ternary surface complexes.

Practical, Reliable Error Bars in Quantum Tomography

description: Precise characterization of quantum devices is usually achieved with quantum tomography. However, most methods which are currently widely used in experiments, such as maximum likelihood estimation, lack a well-justified error analysis. Promising recent methods based on confidence regions are difficult to apply in practice or yield error bars which are unnecessarily large. Here, we propose a practical yet robust method for obtaining error bars. We do so by introducing a novel representation of the output of the tomography procedure, the "quantum error bars". This representation is (i) concise, being given in terms of few parameters, (ii) intuitive, providing a fair idea of the "spread" of the error, and (iii) useful, containing the necessary information for constructing confidence regions. The statements resulting from our method are formulated in terms of a figure of merit, such as the fidelity to a reference state. We present an algorithm for computing this representation and provide ready-to-use software. Our procedure is applied to actual experimental data obtained from two superconducting qubits in an entangled state, demonstrating the applicability of our method.

THE EFFECT OF RANK ON ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH

Year: 2018

description: As the prevalence of mental health illnesses among the adolescent population continues to rise in the U.S., it is important to further research this subset of the population in order to improve policy and reduce economic costs across their lifetime. Recent literature has shown the importance of rank for adolescents on various topics related to academic achievement. None of these papers have however addressed the effect of rank on mental health outcomes in-depth.In this study, we fill this gap in the literature by exploring the effects of two different types of rank, namely cognitive ability rank and academic rank, within a school-cohort, on adolescent mental health outcomes. The primary issues for establishing causation are selection into schools and reverse causality. Using the restricted-use data from Add Health, we attempt to alleviate the model from seleciton into school bias by exploiting idiosyncratic variation at the school-cohort level, we utilize two instrumental variables based on predetermined characteristics of peers to deal with the reverse causality issue. We find that both ranks have a robust negative effect on various adolescent mental health outcomes, namely depression and the likelihood of depression and suicidal ideation. In other words, an increase in rank decreases the magnitude of these mental health disorders.

description: Estimates of the prevalence of speech and motor speech disorders in persons with complex neurodevelopmental disorders (CND) can inform research in the biobehavioural origins and treatment of CND. The goal of this research was to use measures and analytics in a diagnostic classification system to estimate the prevalence of speech and motor speech disorders in convenience samples of speakers with one of eight types of CND. Audio-recorded conversational speech samples from 346 participants with one of eight types of CND were obtained from a database of participants recruited for genetic and behavioural studies of speech sound disorders (i.e., excluding dysfluency) during the past three decades. Data reduction methods for the speech samples included narrow phonetic transcription, prosody-voice coding, and acoustic analyses. Standardized measures were used to cross-classify participants’ speech and motor speech status. Compared to the 17.8% prevalence of four types of motor speech disorders reported in a study of 415 participants with idiopathic Speech Delay (SD), 47.7% of the present participants with CND met criteria for one of four motor speech disorders, including Speech Motor Delay (25.1%), Childhood Dysarthria (13.3%), Childhood Apraxia of Speech (4.3%), and concurrent Childhood Dysarthria and Childhood Apraxia of Speech (4.9%). Findings are interpreted to indicate a substantial prevalence of speech disorders, and notably, a substantial prevalence of motor speech disorders in persons with some types of CND. We suggest that diagnostic classification information from standardized motor speech assessment protocols can contribute to research in the pathobiologies of CND.

ERP Investigation of Preferential Processing of Fearful Faces
Creators: name: Menceloglu, Melisa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: An enhanced sensitivity to fearful faces is evolutionarily advantageous;
however, it is unclear at what levels of neural processing this enhancement
occurs. There are conflicting results from studies investigating whether the
face­‐specific N170 event­‐related potential (ERP) component is enhanced for
fearful faces compared to neutral faces and faces with other expressions.
Studies have also shown that task-­irrelevant fearful faces elicit an ERP index
of attentional selection (the “N2pc”), reflecting preferential allocation of
attention to fearful faces. The present study examined how early perceptual
processing is related to the allocation of spatial attention by using fearful
and neutral faces. Here, we investigated the N170 and N2pc, as well as an ERP
index of attentional disengagement and reorienting (the “IIN”). Participants
performed a modified version of a spatial cueing task, in which a pair of face
images preceded the target stimulus. The ERP analyses indicated that the N170
amplitudes did not differ for fearful and neutral faces, suggesting that fear
did not affect this early level of visual processing. Fearful faces, when paired
with a neutral face, elicited an early phase N2pc but did not elicit a late
phase N2pc, suggesting that the neural index of attentional capture was present
but attenuated. The invalid targets did not elicit an IIN, indicating that
processing invalid targets did not entail an effort of disengagement from the
location of the preceding fearful face and reorienting to the target. This
further suggested that fearful faces did not strongly capture or hold attention.
Neither the early visual processing components (P1 and N1) elicited by targets,
nor the response times to targets showed validity effects. Overall, in our
study, although task-­‐irrelevant fearful faces elicited an early N2pc, they did
not strongly capture or hold attention. Further, fearful expression did not
affect the early visual processing of faces reflected by the N170. Results and
their implications are discussed with respect to the literature on preferential
processing of fearful faces.
Investigating the potential of emerging porous organic-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction

description: The conversion of CO2 to synthetic fuels via photocatalysis represents a unique opportunity for sustainable energy production, addressing two of the most pressing problems of our time, namely climate change and the global energy crisis. In order to overcome the current constraints regarding performance for industrial applications, more efficient photocatalysts must be developed. In this thesis, I investigate the potential of emerging porous organic-based photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction in the gas phase. The first part of my thesis focuses on better understanding the factors which govern charge transfer across semiconductor/metal-organic framework (MOF) heterojunction interfaces. By measuring the electronic structure of the individual heterojunction components and taking into account band bending, I built a band model of the heterojunction interface, which helped rationalize the photocatalytic enhancements and losses observed in MOF-based heterojunctions. This model highlights the importance of considering band bending when constructing MOF-based heterojunctions, an aspect that is not commonly investigated. The second part of my thesis focuses on investigating for the first time the ability of hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) to photoreduce CO2. I show that HCPs are promising visible-light active photocatalysts for the conversion of CO2 to CO. The leading HCP of this study outperforms TiO2 P25 by a factor of 7.5 when using only visible light and sacrificial H2O, without using additional sacrificial agents or co-catalysts. Lastly, the final part of my thesis focused on investigating the CO2 photoreduction mechanism, as well as the CO2 and H2O adsorption process on a triazine-biphenyl HCP. This was achieved by coupling in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), modulation excitation experiments, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and advanced processing techniques. I found that CO2 and H2O adsorb on the same HCP sites albeit with different adsorption strengths. The primary amines of the triazines were identified as favouring strong CO2 binding interactions. No intermediate species were found under transient light irradiation. However, I observed partial CO2 and H2O desorption and a redistribution of interactions between the CO2/H2O molecules that remain adsorbed at the HCP adsorption sites. Overall, this thesis presents new opportunities for the use and rational design of emerging porous organic-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

The goals of the present research were to obtain information on the phenotype of SMD and initial information on the persistence of SMD in children receiving treatment for idiopathic Speech Delay (SD). Five questions about the phenotype and persistence of SMD were posed using a database of audio-recordings and participant records and longitudinal data from audio-recordings of children with early SMD treated for SD. Three phenotype questions examined associations between participant risk factors and prevalence of SMD, and described the most frequent speech, prosody, and voice signs of early SMD. To provide initial estimates of the persistence of SMD, two questions examined associations between the persistence of SMD and participant risk factors using the audio-recordings of 14 participants with SMD treated for idiopathic SD. Phenotype findings indicated that SMD is characterized by across-the-board delays in the spatiotemporal precision and stability of speech, prosody, and voice production. Persistence findings indicated that although most participants normalized early SMD by 6 years of age, SMD persisted until at least late adolescence in 21.4% of participants. Findings are interpreted to support the construct validity of SMD and the potential for research using additional assessment modalities to explicate its genomic and neuromotor causal pathways.

description: A technique is developed which allows for the detailed mapping of the electronic wave function in two-dimensional electron gases with low-temperature mobilities up to 15E6 cm^2/Vs. Thin ("delta") layers of aluminium are placed into the regions where the electrons reside. This causes electron scattering which depends very locally on the amplitude of the electron wave function at the position of the Al "delta"-layer. By changing the distance of this layer from the interface we map the shape of the wave function perpendicular to the interface. Despite having a profound effect on the electron mobiliy, the "delta"-layers do not cause a widening of the quantum Hall plateaus.

Arkansas's Medicaid Work Requirement: A Regulatory and Ethical Analysis

description: On June 1, 2018, Arkansas became the first state in the nation to implement a Work and Community Engagement requirement in order to eligible for Medicaid. Under Arkansas’s new Medicaid plan, non-pregnant adult recipients who are under the age of fifty years old must engage in at least 80 hours of WCE activities every month. In order to continue receiving benefits, recipients must also report their hours at the end of every month through the state’s web-based platform Access Arkansas. Failing to report their WCE hours for three consecutive or non-consecutive months in a given calendar year results in loss of Medicaid coverage for the rest of the calendar year. This paper sets out to answer whether a work requirement for Medicaid is legally permissible and whether the requirement ought to be allowed regardless of its legal standing. Given the program has disenrolled over 18,000 individuals from the state’s Medicaid rolls within the first nine months of implementation, I ultimately find that Arkansas’s Medicaid work requirement fails to adhere to federal regulation and constitutes an instance of impermissible Welfare State Paternalism. This conclusion bears heavy consequences for the multiple other states who are currently rolling out similar work requirements or are awaiting federal approval to do so. In order to better understand the mechanisms underlying the reduction in Arkansas’ Medicaid coverage population, future research ought to utilize recipient surveys regarding barriers to entry and how recipients respond to different incentives to work. Ethically speaking, policymakers on the state and national level ought to revisit the question of whether healthcare is a right and what this tangibly implies for the roles and responsibilities of government to assure this right.

description: A weakly nonlocal and nonlinear theory of heat conduction in rigid bodies is proposed. The constitutive equations generalize these of Fourier, Maxwell-Cattaneo and Guyer-Krumhansl. The proposed model uses the fundaments and the technique of extended irreversible thermodynamics. The main conclusion is that the presence of nonlocal terms in the transport equation for the heat flux implies a modification of the entropy flux; the latter is no longer given by its classical expression, i.e. the heat flux divided by the temperature, but contains extra contributions which are nonlinear in the heat flux and its gradient. These results arise as compatibility conditions with the second law of thermodynamics. A nonequilibrium temperature depending on the heat flux and generalizing the local equilibrium temperature is also emerging naturally from the formalism.

description: Die Hilfsmittelversorgung von Behinderten weist immer noch Defizite auf: Benutzer beklagen sich über die angebotenen Produkte, die Mißachtung ihrer Bedürfnisse und den mühsamen Weg des Erwerbs von Hilfsmitteln. Auf der anderen Seite sehen sich die Kostenträger außerstande, die Versorgung aufrechtzuerhalten und fordern immer mehr Eigenbeteiligung an den Kosten. Wie kann diese Situation verbessert werden? Anhand von Expertengesprächen und Gesprächen mit Betroffenen sowie der Analyse verschiedener Verfahren zur Bewertung von Behinderung wurde zunächst das Verständnis von Behinderung betrachtet. Danach sind die Schwachstellen tatsächlich benutzter Hilfsmittel untersucht worden. Neben funktionalen Mängeln sind dabei besonders sozio-kulturelle Probleme aufgefallen, die den Hilfsmittelgebrauch erschweren. Das Resultat dieser Untersuchung ist der Vorschlag eines neuen Ansatzes zur Gestaltung von Hilfsmitteln, mit dem eine bessere Versorgung Behinderter vorstellbar wäre. Wie dies aussehen kann, ist am Entwurf einer Steckdose nachvollzogen worden.

description: Conditions describing the behaviour of the kink of isobars at the dew line in v-x-phase diagrams of binary mixtures are proved using the second law. These conditions are interesting in connection to the compatibility of Serogodsky's and van Platen's cycles with the second law of thermodynamics.

description: This paper proposes an experiment to easily detect radiative heat transfer in the microwave range. Following an idea given by Pendry more than a decade ago [1], we show that a 3D array of tungsten 2micron radius wires with a 1 cm period makes a low cost material exhibiting a surface plasmon in the microwave range around 2.9 GHz. Such a heated material should exhibit an emission peak near the plasmon frequency well above ambient emission. Analysis of the signal detected in the near-field should also be a tool to analyze how homogenization theory applies when the distance to the material is of the order of the metamaterial period. It could also be give a model to non-local dielectric properties in the same conditions.

description: Recent literature on ERP implementation Critical Success Factors has focused on how different factors characterizing the context of the implementing firm, such size or culture, affect the relative importance of CSFs. Based on a systematic analysis of recent literature, this paper proposes a comprehensive model of contextual factors affecting the importance of ERP implementation CSFs. The proposed model answers the call for research on CSF to focus more on context determining CSF effectiveness. It also helps practitioners to identify important success factors in ERP implementations, calling for more research about specific contextual factors and CSFs in determining ERP implementation success.
