description: Extremely high magnetoresistance (XMR) in the lanthanum monopnictides La$X$ ($X$ = Sb, Bi) has recently attracted interest in these compounds as candidate topological materials. However, their perfect electron-hole compensation provides an alternative explanation, so the possible role of topological surface states requires verification through direct observation. Our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data reveal multiple Dirac-like surface states near the Fermi level in both materials. Intriguingly, we have observed circular dichroism in both surface and near-surface bulk bands. Thus the spin-orbit coupling-induced orbital and spin angular momentum textures may provide a mechanism to forbid backscattering in zero field, suggesting that surface and near-surface bulk bands may contribute strongly to XMR in La$X$. The extremely simple rock salt structure of these materials and the ease with which high-quality crystals can be prepared suggests that they may be an ideal platform for further investigation of topological matter.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: Background: Multiple health risk behaviors among adolescents pose a threat to their health, including HIV/AIDS. Health risk behaviors such as Khat, alcohol use, smoking, substance use, and sexual risk behaviors among youth have been shown to co-occur with each others. Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of single and concurrent health risk behaviors and to explore how health risk behavior is associated with socio demographic factors and peers' behaviors among youths in Yaballo town. Methodology: A comparative cross-sectional study design was employed supplemented with qualitative study .The study subjects were systematically selected. Data were collected from 825 in in-school and out-of-school youths by using self-administered questionnaires. The data were analyzed using univariate for frequencies, bivariate analysis to see the association between independent and dependent variable and multiple logistic regressions to control confounding variables. Results: Out of total 65.2% were male and 34.7% female. Overall, out of the study participants 87 % (81.9% ISY, 92% OSY) youths ever had sex with an individual opposite sex. Disaggregated by sex, 66.6% of male had had sex compared to 33.4% of female. In logistic regression older age (AOR=2.82, 95%CI= 1.41, 5.65), school status (AOR=2.764, 95%CI=1.759, 4.345), Khat chewing (AOR=7.625, 95%CI=4.146, 14.022), Watching pornographic films (AOR=2.697, 95%CI=1.751, 4.153) and having sexually active peers (AOR=4.918, 95%CI=2.407, 10.046) were significantly and independently associated with ever having sex .Overall, 40.1% of out-of-of school youths had unprotected sex during the last sexual inter course prior to study compared to 37.1% of in-school youth. Of the 815 subjects, 10.9% reported no risks, 14.1% reported one risks, and 74.8% reported two or more risk behaviors. Among out-of-school youths having no education (AOR=4.445, 95%CI=1.450, 13.620) and grade level of 9-10 (AOR=3.170, 95%CI=1.517, 6.632) were strongly associated with two or more risk behaviors. Conclusion: majority of youth were engaged in multiple health risk behaviors. The influencing factors are socio-demographic characteristics and peer influence. Interventions should focus to encourage adolescents to complete the compulsory primary education as well as help them to establish friendships and follow peers with good behavior.

description: Modern neural TTS systems are capable of generating natural and expressive speech when provided with sufficient amounts of training data. Such systems can be equipped with prosody-control functionality, allowing for more direct shaping of the speech output at inference time. In some TTS applications, it may be desirable to have an option that guides the TTS system with an ad-hoc speech recording exemplar to impose an implicit fine-grained, user-preferred prosodic realization for certain input prompts. In this work we present a first-of-its-kind neural TTS system equipped with such functionality to transfer the prosody from a parallel text recording from an unseen speaker. We demonstrate that the proposed system can precisely transfer the speech prosody from novel speakers to various trained TTS voices with no quality degradation, while preserving the target TTS speakers' identity, as evaluated by a set of subjective listening experiments.

description: Die CAE-Systeme, die in der chemischen Industrie bei der Planung verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen eingesetzt werden, sind auf den Bedarf des Detail Engineering ausgerichtet. Diese Softwaresysteme bilden die reale Anlage immer genauer ab, werden dadurch aber komplexer in ihrer Anwendung und erfordern aufwändige Vorbereitungen, bevor ein Projekt bearbeitet werden kann. Diese Systeme sind daher für die Aufstellungsplanung im Rahmen des Extended Basic Engineering nicht geeignet.Für Abschätzungen und vergleichende Studien müssen andere Systeme bereitgestellt werden. Da nur bei rund einem Zehntel der erstellten Aufstellungskonzepte später die Planung auch tatsächlich durchgeführt wird, ist es besonders wichtig, durch neue Methoden die anfallenden Kosten für die konzeptionelle Layoutplanung gering zu halten. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sind neue Methoden des Extended Equipment-Modelling für die rechnergestützte Aufstellungsplanung entwickelt und in der Software CAPD (Computer Aided Plant Design) zur Überprüfung der Anwendbarkeit realisiert worden. Die Ergebnisse aus Beispielprojekten zeigen, dass die Equipment-Modelle den Platzbedarf der Ausrüstungen inklusive Eigenverrohrung und Zugangsräumen sehr gut abschätzen. Die Ausrüstungspositionierung und die Rohrleitungsplanung vereinfachen sich durch den Einsatz der Extended Equipment-Modelle.Zur Erzeugung des Anlagengerüsts ist ein neues Softwaremodul entwickelt und in CAPD integriert worden. Es bietet die Möglichkeit, Anlagengerüste sowohl automatisiert als auch manuell zu generieren. Das Softwaremodul stellt Funktionen zur Abbildung der Infrastruktur, bestehender Anlagenteile sowie anderer Bauwerke, die bei der Platzierung und Rohrleitungsplanung Berücksichtigung finden müssen, bereit.Die Einführung einer integrierten 3D-OpenGL Grafik beschleunigt den Planungsprozess durch die schnellere und realistischere Visualisierung der Ergebnisse. Die virtuelle Besichtigung der gesamten Anlage ist in jedem Planungsstadium in Echtzeit möglich.Der Einsatz der rechnergestützten Methoden in der Anlagenplanung leistet einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Planungsqualität, weil Fehler durch die Analysen erkannt sowie Optimierungspotenziale durch Variantenvergleich aufgezeigt werden können.Es ist jetzt möglich, ausgehend von der Apparate- und Stutzenliste sowie den verbindenden Rohrleitungen die Arbeitsschritte Platzbedarfsermittlung, Stahlbau- und Layoutentwurf, Rohrleitungsstudie, Analyse und Bewertung sowie 3D-Review innerhalb einer Software durchzuführen.

description: Presently, classical optical communication systems employing strong laser pulses and quantum key distribution (QKD) systems working at single-photon levels are very different communication modalities. Dedicated devices are commonly required to implement QKD. In this paper, we propose a scheme which allows classical communication and QKD to be implemented simultaneously using the same communication infrastructure. More specially, we propose a coherent communication scheme where both the bits for classical communication and the Gaussian distributed random numbers for QKD are encoded on the same weak coherent pulse, and decoded by the same coherent receiver. Simulation results based on practical system parameters show that both deterministic classical communication with a bit error rate of 10^{-9} and secure key distribution could be achieved over tens of kilometers single mode fibers. It is conceivable that in the future coherent optical communication network, QKD is operated in the background of classical communication at a minimal cost.

description: Traditional NBA player evaluation metrics are based on scoring differential or some pace-adjusted linear combination of box score statistics like points, rebounds, assists, etc. These measures treat performances with the outcome of the game still in question (e.g. tie score with five minutes left) in exactly the same way as they treat performances with the outcome virtually decided (e.g. when one team leads by 30 points with one minute left). Because they ignore the context in which players perform, these measures can result in misleading estimates of how players help their teams win. We instead use a win probability framework for evaluating the impact NBA players have on their teams' chances of winning. We propose a Bayesian linear regression model to estimate an individual player's impact, after controlling for the other players on the court. We introduce several posterior summaries to derive rank-orderings of players within their team and across the league. This allows us to identify highly paid players with low impact relative to their teammates, as well as players whose high impact is not captured by existing metrics.

description: Unintended pregnancy and births could have negative consequences for children, for their parents, for their sibling and for the society as a whole. Regardless of the level of health care access and use reducing the number of pregnancies will lower maternal death rates. A descriptive cross sectional study design was used to assess the prevalence and socio demographic determinants of unintended pregnancy and or childbirth in Harar town. The study was carried out in nine kebeles, from three keftegnas of the town. A multistage sampling technique was conducted to select a total of 1000 females of reproductive age group (15-49 years) for interview. A structured questionnaire survey and four-paired focus group discussion were used as the method of data collection. A total of 983 females aged 15-49 years randomly selected women responded to a pretested structured questionnaire designed to illicit information concerning most recent unintended pregnancies, childbirth and induced abortions. Fifty five point six percent of the respondents were currently married, 29.7 % never married, 9.4 % were divorced/separated and the rest 5.3% were widowed. The mean age at first marriage was 18.8(SD=4.5) The majority of the respondents were found to have formal education. Knowledge of contraceptive method showed 96.6 % of the respondents knew at least one method. Among 785 sexually active women 326(41.5%) were reported to be current user of modern contraceptive method 195(33.7%) had ever used MC but 264(24.8%) among viii sexually active women were non-users. The occupational status indicated that 321(32.7 %) were employed including self employment 429(43.6%) were housewives, students constituted 127 (12.9%) and 106 (10.8%) were unemployed Two hundreds twenty-five out of 675 ever pregnant surveyed respondents (33.33%) reported that their most recent pregnancies were unintended. Of these, about half 112 out of 225 reported had unintended childbirth and the rest 113 ended in induced abortion. The prevalence of unintended childbirth constituted about 16.59 % while induced abortion was found to be nearly 16.74 %. Age at first marriage, marital status, education and number of pregnancies, respondents age and economic status were found to be the key predictors of unintended pregnancy or it's measured outcomes: unintended births and induced abortions. System design and coherent strategy will be very important to meet unmet needs that result in unplanned and unwanted fertility both with respect to strengthen advocacy and increase access of modern contraceptive methods through community distribution and other social organizations as well as empowerment of women which enables them to be decision maker in their sexual and other aspects of life.

description: Recent experiments on measuring time-delays during tunnelling of cold atoms through an optically created potential barrier are reinvigorating the controversial debate regarding possible time-delays during light-induced tunnelling of an electron from an atom. Compelling theoretical and experimental arguments have been put forward to advocate opposite views, confirming or refuting the existence of finite tunnelling time delays. Yet, such a delay, whether present or not, is but a single quantity characterizing the tunnelling wavepacket; the underlying dynamics are richer. Here we propose to augment photo-electron detection in laser-induced tunnelling with detection of light emitted by the tunnelling electron -- the so-called Brunel radiation. Using a combination of single-color and two-color driving fields, we identify the all-optical signatures of the re-shaping of the tunnelling wavepacket as it emerges from the tunnelling barrier and moves away from the core. This reshaping includes not only an effective time-delay but also time-reversal asymmetry of the ionization process, which we describe theoretically and observe experimentally. We show how both delay and reshaping are mapped on the polarization properties of the Brunel radiation, with different harmonics behaving as different hands of a clock moving at different speeds. The all-optical detection paves the way to time-resolving optical tunnelling in condensed matter systems, e.g. tunnelling across bandgaps in solids, on the attosecond time-scale.

description: Imbalance (on-line energy gap between contracted supply and actual demand, and associated cost) reduction is going to be a crucial service for a Power Producer and Supplier (PPS) in the deregulated energy market. PPS requires forward market interactions to procure energy as precisely as possible in order to reduce imbalance energy. This paper presents, 1) (off-line) an effective demand aggregation based strategy for creating a number of balancing groups that leads to higher predictability of group-wise aggregated demand, 2) (on-line) a robust energy storage scheduling that minimizes the imbalance for a particular balancing group considering the demand prediction uncertainty. The group formation is performed by a Probabilistic Programming approach using Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method after applied on the historical demand statistics. Apart from the group formation, the aggregation strategy (with the help of Bayesian Inference) also clears out the upper-limit of the required storage capacity for a formed group, fraction of which is to be utilized in on-line operation. For on-line operation, a robust energy storage scheduling method is proposed that minimizes expected imbalance energy and cost (a non-linear function of imbalance energy) while incorporating the demand uncertainty of a particular group. The proposed methods are applied on the real apartment buildings' demand data in Tokyo, Japan. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

description: Background: The benefits of telemedicine services are very significant to the society for improving the quality and access of health in the health care delivery system. However, the number of service provision sites is limited, inaccessible and the service is underutilized by the majority of the community due to various factors in Ethiopia. Objective: The objective of this research is to explore the level of telemedicine utilization, in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from February to April 2013 among 422 health professionals. Quantitative data were collected through self-administered pre-tested questionnaires and complemented by a qualitative data using self interview questions and observation checklist. Quantitative data were initially entered in to EPi-3.5.1 version and exported to SPSS version 16.0 for analysis. Descriptive statistics, COR, AOR and 95% CI were calculated. Logistic regressions were carried out to identify the major predictors' of telemedicine underutilization. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Results: Majority of participants 65% were males and medical specialists were 56.3%. Of the total respondents only 40.6% used telemedicine services and 84.5% of them used the services less than five times a year. Among other factors technology (AOR=9.06 95%CI 3.08, 26.63) and administrative problems (AOR=3.52 95%CI 1.79, 6.95) and legal issues (AOR=2.21 95%CI 1.14, 4.26) were identified the major predictor for telemedicine underutilization. Lack of internet connectivity, system unreliability, system user un- friendly and lack of users' technical assistant were some of the technological barriers reported in both quantitative and qualitative findings. Conclusion and recommendation: This study revealed that telemedicine services are generally underutilized. Technology and administrative problems; and legal issues were identified as the major factors. Among technological barriers internet connectivity and system reliability are the major problems identified. Knowing and identifying the factors was vital for considering future in depth studies and taking appropriate measures to fix the problems faced in the portfolio. Key words: -- Telemedicine, Technological barriers, Telemedicine utilization, Tikur Anbessa SpecializedHospital.

A Mellin space approach to the conformal bootstrap

description: We describe in more detail our approach to the conformal bootstrap which uses the Mellin representation of $CFT_d$ four point functions and expands them in terms of crossing symmetric combinations of $AdS_{d+1}$ Witten exchange functions. We consider arbitrary external scalar operators and set up the conditions for consistency with the operator product expansion. Namely, we demand cancellation of spurious powers (of the cross ratios, in position space) which translate into spurious poles in Mellin space. We discuss two contexts in which we can immediately apply this method by imposing the simplest set of constraint equations. The first is the epsilon expansion. We mostly focus on the Wilson-Fisher fixed point as studied in an epsilon expansion about $d=4$. We reproduce Feynman diagram results for operator dimensions to $O(ε^3)$ rather straightforwardly. This approach also yields new analytic predictions for OPE coefficients to the same order which fit nicely with recent numerical estimates for the Ising model (at $ε=1$). We will also mention some leading order results for scalar theories near three and six dimensions. The second context is a large spin expansion, in any dimension, where we are able to reproduce and go a bit beyond some of the results recently obtained using the (double) light cone expansion. We also have a preliminary discussion about numerical implementation of the above bootstrap scheme in the absence of a small parameter.

description: In this paper, we propose a spatial coded modulation (SCM) scheme, which improves the accuracy of the active antenna detection by coding over the transmit antennas. Specifically, the antenna activation pattern in the SCM corresponds to a codeword in a properly designed codebook with a larger minimum Hamming distance than its counterpart conventional spatial modulation. As the minimum Hamming distance increases, the reliability of the active antenna detection is directly enhanced, which in turn improves the demodulation of the modulated symbols and yields a better system reliability. In addition to the reliability, the proposed SCM scheme also achieves a higher capacity with the identical antenna configuration compared to the conventional spatial modulation technique. Moreover, the proposed SCM scheme strikes a balance between spectral efficiency and reliability by trading off the minimum Hamming distance with the number of available codewords. The optimal maximum likelihood detector is first formulated. Then, a low-complexity suboptimal detector is proposed to reduce the computational complexity, which has a two-step detection. Theoretical derivations of the channel capacity and the bit error rate are presented in various channel scenarios, i.e., Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m, imperfect channel state information, and spatial correlation. Further derivation on performance bounding is also provided to reveal the insight of the benefit of increasing the minimum Hamming distance. Numerical results validate the analysis and demonstrate that the proposed SCM outperforms the conventional spatial modulation techniques in both channel capacity and system reliability.

description: We use FIRAS and Planck 2015 data to place observational bounds on inflationary scenarios in multi-fractional spacetimes with $q$-derivatives. While a power-law expansion in the geometric time coordinate is subject to the usual constraints from the tensor-to-scalar ratio, model-independent best fits of the black-body and scalar spectra yield upper limits on the free parameters of the multi-fractal measure of the theory. When the measure describing the fractal spacetime geometry is non-oscillating, information on the CMB black-body spectrum places constraints on the theory independent from but weaker than those obtained from the Standard Model, astrophysical gravitational waves and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). When log oscillations are included and the measure describes a discrete fractal spacetime at microscopic scales, we obtain the first observational constraints on the amplitudes of such oscillations and find, in general, strong constraints on the multi-scale geometry and on the dimension of space. These results complete the scan and reduction of the parameter space of the theory. Black-body bounds are obtained also for the theory with weighted derivatives.

description: Im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs nimmt die Zahl der Methoden, mit denen Organisationen auf normative Erwartungen ihrer Stakeholder reagieren und sie berücksichtigen können, weiter zu. Bei eingehender Betrachtung zeigen sich allerdings konzeptionelle Lücken, die nicht nur die Wirksamkeit der Methoden einschränken, sondern zusätzliche Gefahren für Organisationen bergen. Es fehlt ein Ansatz, wie Organisationen die normativen Erwartungen ihrer Stakeholder integrativ und ganzheitlich berücksichtigen können. Auf Basis bestehender Literatur wurde – unterstützt durch vier konzeptionelle und empirische Forschungsprojekte – ein auf den persönlichen Werten der Stakeholder basierender Ansatz (SVBM) abgeleitet, der normative und vor allem erwünschte Stakeholder-Erwartungen prädiktiv und damit indirekt abbildet. Durch die Positionierung im normativen Management sorgt er zum einen für die Integration der Aktivitäten im Management. Zum anderen gewährleistet er durch die Ausrichtung an den persönlichen Werten sowie die Einnahme einer integrativen Stakeholder-Perspektive die notwendige Ganzheitlichkeit bzgl. der Auswahl der normativen Erwartungen und der Bestimmung der Stakeholder. Mittels der Übertragung des Ansatzes in das konzeptionelle Framework des Higher Purpose kann mit dem SVBM nicht nur möglicher Schaden durch eine Nichterfüllung abgewandt werden: Unterstützt durch die mit dem Higher Purpose verbundene Wertepositionierung und die daraus folgende Identifikation der Stakeholder mit Organisationen können auch nachhaltige Differenzierungs- und Erfolgsfaktoren geschaffen werden. In dieser Konsequenz und Deutlichkeit macht der Ansatz des SVBM – nach bestem Wissen des Autors – erstmalig die persönlichen Werte der Stakeholder von Organisationen zum Fundament deren Managements, um die normativen und vor allem die erwünschten Erwartungen der Stakeholder prädiktiv und damit indirekt im Management zu berücksichtigen. Die Arbeit hebt sich damit von bestehenden Konzepten und Methoden ab und ergänzt diese. Sie bildet zugleich den Ausgangspunkt für weitere Forschung sowie für die praktische Anwendung in Organisationen und schafft Wert für weitere gesellschaftliche Anwendungen und Bereiche.

description: The DRC has abundant energy resources, ranging from; biomass, hydro-potential, oil, natural gas, coal, solar and wind potentials, geothermal to uranium. On the energy aspect of the incumbent Government’s mega project called “145 administrative territories”, the electricity procurement programme has been launched with a clear goal of scaling up electrification in rural areas through mini-grids.
 The main work is to dentify localities with high potential energy demand within the country that can be electrify through wind solar or Hydro on a small scale. Taking into consideration all parameters, the analysis brings out these localities as top with high energy mix potential that can be electrify on a small scale. (Sample for 100% potential and 99% potential). More than 3 812 241 people will get access to electricity from our results.

description: Inflation with plateau potentials give the best fit to the CMB observables as they predict tensor to scalar ratio stringently bounded by the observations from Planck and BICEP2/Keck. In supergravity models it is possible to obtain plateau potentials for scalar fields in the Einstein frame which can serve as the inflation potential by considering higher dimensional Planck suppressed operators and by the choice of non-canonical Kähler potentials. We construct a plateau inflation model in MSSM where the inflation occurs along a sneutrino-Higgs flat direction. A hidden sector Polonyi field is used for the breaking of supersymmetry after the end of the inflation. The proper choice of superpotential leads to strong stabilization of the Polonyi field, $m_{Z}^2\gg m_{3/2}^2$, which is required to solve the cosmological moduli problem. Also, the SUSY breaking results in a TeV scale gravitino mass and scalar masses and gives rise to bilinear and triliear couplings of scalars which can be tested at the LHC. The sneutrino inflation field can be observed at the LHC as a TeV scale diphoton resonance like the one reported by CMS and ATLAS.

description: In single-metric approximations to the exact renormalization group (RG) for quantum gravity, it has been not been clear how to treat the large curvature domain beyond the point where the effective cutoff scale $k$ is less than the lowest eigenvalue of the appropriate modified Laplacian. We explain why this puzzle arises from background dependence, resulting in Wilsonian RG concepts being inapplicable. We show that when properly formulated over an ensemble of backgrounds, the Wilsonian RG can be restored. This in turn implies that solutions should be smooth and well defined no matter how large the curvature is taken. Even for the standard single-metric type approximation schemes, this construction can be rigorously derived by imposing a modified Ward identity (mWI) corresponding to rescaling the background metric by a constant factor. However compatibility in this approximation requires the space-time dimension to be six. Solving the mWI and flow equation simultaneously, new variables are then derived that are independent of overall background scale.

description: We consider the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain, which has 0, 1, or 2 topological edge states depending on the ratio of the hopping parameters and the parity of the chain length. We couple a qubit to one edge of the SSH chain and a semi-infinite undimerized chain to the other, and evaluate the dynamics of the qubit. By evaluating the decoherence rate of the qubit we can probe the edge states of the SSH chain. The rate shows strong even-odd oscillations with the number of sites reflecting the presence or absence of edge states. Hence, the qubit acts as an efficient detector of the topological edge states of the SSH model. This can be generalized to other topological systems.

Year: 2015

description: Background: Patient satisfaction is commonly used method to examine quality of care and health system responsiveness. Patient satisfaction and inpatient service are among the areas identified to monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in hospitals of Ethiopia. Objective: To assess inpatients' satisfaction of the quality of care and associated factors at Zewditu memorial hospital, Addis Ababa Method: Hospital based cross sectional study design was employed to collect data from 382 respondents. Likert scale of 1-5 was used to measure state of satisfaction of the respondents to the inpatient health services. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis used to identify associated variables using SPSS version 21. Result: Overall proportion of satisfaction among the respondents was 52.7% while 20.7% were dissatisfied and 26.6% were neutral. The dissatisfaction to hospital structure variables was 68.6% while it was 44.8% to the timeliness of service. Similarly, 39.3% of the respondents were dissatisfied to the appropriateness of the service variables. The overall dissatisfaction among those who attended secondary school was 6.3 times more likely (AOR 6.3, 95% CI: 1.7-22.5) compared to those who were illiterate. Similarly, the dissatisfaction among those who stayed shorter (5-15 days) were 50% (AOR 0.5, 95% CI: 0.2-0.9) less likely compared to those who stayed more (over 16 days). Conclusion and Recommendations: Hospital structure, appropriateness and timeliness of the service as well as duration of stay in the wards are important factors influencing the satisfaction condition. It is recommended to improve services including bed and food, access to water and sanitation facility, pharmacy and diagnostic services. Also need for improving admission procedure and duration of admission.

description: We present a set-up for time-resolved X-ray diffraction based on a short pulse, laser-driven plasma X-ray source. The employed modular design provides high flexibility to adapt the set-up to the specific requirements (e.g. X-ray optics, sample environment) of particular applications. The configuration discussed here has been optimized towards high angular/momentum resolution and uses K$_α$-radiation (4.51 keV) from a Ti wire-target in combination with a toroidally bent crystal for collection, monochromatization and focusing of the emitted radiation. $2\times 10^5$ Ti-K$_{\alpha1}$ photons per pulse with $10^{-4}$ relative bandwidth are delivered to the sample at 10 Hz repetition rate. This allows for high dynamic range ($10^4$) measurements of transient changes of the rocking curves of materials as for example induced by laser-triggered strain waves.
