subject: Intuition

description: In this thesis I seek to advance our understanding of what intuitions are. I argue that intuitions are experiences of a certain kind. In particular, they are experiences with representational content, and with a certain phenomenal character. In Chapter 1 I identify our target and provide some important preliminaries. Intuitions are mental states, but which ones? Giving examples helps: a person has an intuition when it seems to her that torturing the innocent is wrong, or that if something is red it is coloured. We can also provide an initial characterisation of the state by saying that it has representational content, often causes belief, and appears to justify belief. In addition, there is something it is like to have an intuition: intuition has a certain phenomenal character. Some argue that intuition does not explain anything which cannot be explained by other mental states. One version of this view takes intuition to reduce to belief. In Chapter 2 I argue that this entails that agents are rationally criticisable in situations where we know they are not, and that such views are therefore untenable. A parallel argument shows that the corresponding approach to perception fails. This suggests a similarity in nature: both intuition and perception are experiences. Others take intuition to reduce to a disposition to have a belief. In Chapter 3 I consider a line of argument against such views, find it unsuccessful, and present two new arguments. One is likely to be dialectically ineffective. The other suffers no such weakness: it shows that the proposed reduction fails. As before, the argument also applies to perception, and suggests that intuition and perception are both experiences. In the remainder of the thesis I develop an account of intuition as an experience. I distinguish between content-specific and attitude-specific phenomenology, and argue that intuition lacks the former (Chapter 4), but has the latter (Chapter 5). This allows us to say what intuition is: it is is an experience with representational content and with attitude-specific phenomenology of a certain kind. In Chapter 6 I put this account of intuition to use. When a person has a perceptual or intuitional experience, I argue that simply having the experience is what makes the subject justified in believing what the experience represents. Moreover, what explains that intuition and perception can justify belief in this way is precisely their phenomenal character.

description: The diplomatic essay researches the relation between Greek Constitution and European Community Law in the jurisprudence of the State Council. Initially, the importance and topicality of the question are developed with brevity. En continuity, the decisions of State Council that dealt with the subject are reported with chronological order, so that the development of the jurisprudence becomes perceptible. Further, a synthetic assessment of the positions of the Supreme Administrative Court of our country concerning this question is attempted, as well as a critical analysis of the dogmatic bases of these positions. Finally, a synopsis of the questioning is made and methodological tools are proposed in order to find a solution to this complex legal issue.

description: The focus of this research was to determine the prevalence and type of Islamophobia in the Victorian population. Islamophobia sentiment feeds the actions of right-wing extremist attacks on Muslim communities. But it has also become widespread in Australian society, and normalised in everyday settings, such as our mainstream media. Islamophobia cannot be treated with a singular approach or mode of intervention. Our study comes at a critical time; it provides empirical evidence on the extent of the problem, as well as documenting the varied manifestations of Islamophobic sentiment, with the view to developing potential action points and policy.

In November 2019 we undertook a survey of 4019 Victorians. We asked questions on their attitudes towards cultural diversity, racial equality and privilege; trust and fairness; Muslims and Islam; and other ethno-cultural groups in Australian society; their experiences of racism and discrimination; their contact with Muslims and knowledge of Islam; and their political affiliation. To our knowledge, this was the largest survey undertaken in Victoria with the purpose of solely measuring Victorians perceptions of Muslims and Islam. Based on respondents’ answers, we used latent class analysis to segment the Victorian population. Five groups were generated: Islamophobic, Islamophobic with assimilationist tendencies, Undecided, Progressive with concerns about Islam, and Progressive. We then distilled the demographic and attitudinal attributes of these groups, with the view to identifying roles and drivers to help guide policy and intervention. We tested this five group segmentation with community organisations in Victoria working in the broad areas of diversity and multiculturalism, and with a particular emphasis on Muslim and non-Muslim relations. The groupings made sense on-the-ground, and they provided a strong pathway forward for program and policy design.

description: Two models for estimating liquidus temperature from composition are presented and compared with thermodynamically calculated temperature as well as primary phase. Α simple polynomial model is given for high silica glasses, while a model covering a wide composition range and several primary phase fields is more complex. Thermodynamic calculations generally give too high liquidus temperatures in the devitrite field and too low in the primary field for Na2O · 2 CaO · 3 SiO2. In the wollastonite field the values are scattered, but in general too high.
Regional flow estimation using a hydrologic model

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The twelve watersheds analyzed in this study are heterogeneous in terms of drainage area, climate, topography, soil type, vegetation, geology and hydrologic regime, which indicates that any attempt at a statistical regionalization of streamflow characteristics for these watersheds would be unreliable unless based on a very large number of watersheds. Therefore, the hydrological behavior of these watersheds was analyzed using the UBC Watershed Model. The watersheds were calibrated until a maximized efficiency was achieved. A sensitivity analysis showed that the model was most sensitive to precipitation parameters and thus, precipitation was the most important factor. Given good precipitation data, the next most important parameter was found to be the fraction of impermeable area in the watershed. Therefore, several methods for estimating this parameter were examined and surficial geology maps gave the best results. Analysis of all the parameters for each watershed revealed that there was quite a consistent set of parameters for everything except the precipitation gradients and the fraction of impermeable area. Lack of variability of the parameters affecting the time distribution of runoff with watershed size supports the idea that the land phase controls the runoff process and the channel phase is secondary and appears almost negligible even for the watersheds larger than 1000 km² in size. Thus, the watersheds were re-run using the fixed set of parameters and inputting precipitation and fraction of impermeable area for each watershed. The results obtained by this simplified method were then compared with the results of the original calibration for each watershed. The comparison showed that this fixed parameter set provided reliable flow estimates, because the reduction in overall model efficiency ranged from 0 to 10%, and in most cases stayed within 5%. In addition, this set of parameters considerably simplifies model calibration, and is an excellent first step in obtaining a full calibration. Therefore, this method is very useful for estimating runoff from an ungauged watershed, provided meteorological input is available.

description: Glass-ceramics in the system diopside-anorthite-orthoclase were prepared using the waste known as the by-pass cement dust in the amount of 36 % of the batch constituents. The effects of addition of the nucleating agents Cr2O3, LiF, and mixtures of them on the crystallizability, phase assemblages, and the resultant microstructures were investigated. Low concentration of Cr2O3 (0.5 wt%) causes volume crystallization and formation of fine-grained microstructures of microcline, anorthite and aluminous pyroxene. Higher concentrations of Cr2O3 favor formation of leucite and aluminous pyroxene and inhibit crystallization of anorthite. LiF causes the formation of microcline and its transformation into orthoclase. It also increases the crystallizability with the formation of nonuniform coarse-grained texture. Α mixture of 0.5 % Cr2O3 and 1.5 % LiF causes a synergistic effect, where fine-grained microstructure is formed (due to Cr2O3) with orthoclase formation (due to LiF) in addition to aluminous pyroxene and anorthite. The effects of various Cr2O3 concentrations were discussed on the bases of the increased viscosity and separation of Cr2O3 and/or chromiumspinel phases. The effects of LiF were attributed to the role of fluorine ions in reducing the viscosity of the glasses, consequently facilitating crystallization of the structurally more complex silicate in addition to favoring reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

description: Young's modulus determines the mechanical loads required to elastically stretch a material, and also, the loads required to bend it, given that bending stretches one surface while compressing the opposite one. Flexoelectric materials have the additional property of becoming electrically polarized when bent. While numerous studies have characterized this flexoelectric coupling, its impact on the mechanical response, due to the energy cost of polarization upon bending, is largely unexplored. This intriguing contribution of strain gradient elasticity is expected to become visible at small length scales where strain gradients are geometrically enhanced, especially in high permittivity insulators. Here we present nano-mechanical measurements of freely suspended SrTiO3 membrane drumheads. We observe a striking non-monotonic thickness dependence of Young's modulus upon small deflections. Furthermore, the modulus inferred from a predominantly bending deformation is three times larger than that of a predominantly stretching deformation for membranes thinner than 20 nm. In this regime we extract a giant strain gradient elastic coupling of ~2.2e-6 N, which could be used in new operational regimes of nano-electro-mechanics.

description: Modern galaxy formation theory suggests that the misalignment between stellar and gaseous components usually results from an external gas accretion and/or interaction with other galaxies. The extreme case of the kinematic misalignment is demonstrated by so-called galaxies with counterrotation that possess two distinct components rotating in opposite directions with respect to each other. We provide an in-deep analysis of galaxies with counterrotation from IllustrisTNG100 cosmological simulations. We have found $25$ galaxies with substantial stellar counterrotation in the stellar mass range of $2\times10^{9}-3\times10^{10}$~\Msun. In our sample the stellar counterrotation is a result of an external gas infall happened $\approx 2-8$~Gyr ago. The infall leads to the initial removal of pre-existing gas, which is captured and mixed together with the infalling component. The gas mixture ends up in the counterrotating gaseous disc. We show that $\approx 90\%$ of the stellar counterrotation formed in-situ, in the counterrotating gas. During the early phases of the infall, gas can be found in inclined extended and rather thin disc-like structures, and in some galaxies they are similar to (nearly-)~polar disc or ring-like structures. We discuss a possible link between the gas infall, AGN activity and the formation of misaligned components. In particular, we suggest that the AGN activity does not cause the counterrotation, although it is efficiently triggered by the retrograde gas infall, and it correlates well with the misaligned component appearance. We also find evidence of the stellar disc heating visible as an increase of the vertical-to-radial velocity dispersion ratio above unity in both co- and counterrotating components, which implies the importance of the kinematical misalignment in shaping the velocity ellipsoids in disc galaxies.

Irradiation-induced defects in different glasses demonstrated on a metaphosphate glass

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: 660

description: The influence of the two polyvalent ions, cobalt and nickel, on the formation of irradiation-induced defects was studied in several different model glasses (silicate, borosilicate, fluoride- and phosphate glasses). In this article the defects are demonstrated on the example of the (SrPO3)2-metaphosphate glass P100. Sample plates of high-purity glasses, undoped and doped with 0.3 mol% CoO and NiO, were irradiated with a UV lamp and with X-rays. The subsequent defect centers, formed at ppm levels, were characterized by EPR as well as optical UV-VIS spectroscopy. Defect recovery experiments were also studied in these glasses. The newly found optical bands and EPR signals evolving in the irradiated glass are in part characteristic for intrinsic defects. These are different types of electron centers (EC) and hole centers (HC) connected with phosphate groups. Other signals arise from extrinsic defects, which are caused by the two dopant ions. The predominant extrinsic defect stems from the photooxidation of Co2+ to (Co2+)2. As an HC the latter replaces some of the intrinsie phosphate-bonded HC and dominates the optical spectra with two bands at 300 and 400 nm. In the glass P100 lamp irradiation photoionizes only Co2+ but not Ni2+. Α new optical band at 330 nm, as well as a new EPR signal at g = 2.08 can be seen only after X-ray irradiadon. Both can be attributed to a nickel-related EC created via the photoreduction of Ni2+ to (Ni2+)-. At the same time the band of the intrinsic oxygen-related HC is intensified. Generally X-ray irradiation causes stronger irradiation-induced defects (excitation of inner electrons) than UV-lamp irradiation (selective excitation of valence electrons).

description: Bacterial infections have been a persistent and evolving threat to human health throughout history. Despite remarkable advances in medicine and public health, they pose significant health challenges globally. Antibacterial drugs, the cornerstone of bacterial infection treatment, have saved many lives; however, the relentless adaptability of bacteria, coupled with the widespread misuse and overuse of antibiotics, has given rise to a formidable problem: antimicrobial resistance (AMR).1 This escalating crisis has lowered the effectiveness of the well-known antibacterials against infections, resulting in the need of novel antibacterial drugs being developed.2 This work highlights the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial property evaluation of two novel antibacterial complexes.In chapter 2, a complex of cetylpyridinium with stannous chloride (CPC-Sn) was successfully synthesized. Cetylpyridinium is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC), which has been used a disinfectant agent for many years. The crystal structure of CPC-Sn was elucidated confirming that there is a 1:1 ratio of cetylpyridinium to stannous chloride. The antibacterial properties of CPC-Sn were evaluated through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) studies, against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and reduction of volatile sulfur compound (VSC) formation. CPC-Sn showed parity performance in both MIC and VSC studies and was statistically better as compared to zinc chloride and stannous chloride. Furthermore, electrical resistance tomography studies demonstrated the controlled-release properties of CPC-Sn as compared to a mixture of CPC and SnCl2, indicating CPC-Sn could potentially be a good candidate as an antibacterial agent to combat the global healthcare issues.Chapter 3 of this work covers the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial properties evaluation of a biguanide complex. Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is a well-known antiseptic used post-oral surgery to prevent bacterial infection. In this work, chlorhexidine (CHX) was complexed with an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), to form chlorhexidine dodecyl sulfate (CHX-DS). The crystal structure of this complex was also elucidated successfully demonstrating a 1:2 ratio of CHX to DS. MIC and VSC studies were also performed in which CHX-DS showed parity MIC performance and enhanced VSC reduction when compared to CHG. Additionally, CHX-DS was loaded onto mesoporous silica nanoparticle demonstrating its potential use in drug delivery application.
Differentiable Scattering Matrix for Optimization of Photonic Structures

description: The scattering matrix, which quantifies the optical reflection and transmission of a photonic structure, is pivotal for understanding the performance of the structure. In many photonic design tasks, it is also desired to know how the structure's optical performance changes with respect to design parameters, that is, the scattering matrix's derivatives (or gradient). Here we address this need. We present a new algorithm for computing scattering matrix derivatives accurately and robustly. In particular, we focus on the computation in semi-analytical methods (such as rigorous coupled-wave analysis). To compute the scattering matrix of a structure, these methods must solve an eigen-decomposition problem. However, when it comes to computing scattering matrix derivatives, differentiating the eigen-decomposition poses significant numerical difficulties. We show that the differentiation of the eigen-decomposition problem can be completely sidestepped, and thereby propose a robust algorithm. To demonstrate its efficacy, we use our algorithm to optimize metasurface structures and reach various optical design goals.

description: We analyze the proper inclusion of electric-field-induced spin splittings in the framework of the envelope function approximation. We argue that the Rashba effect should be included in the form of a macroscopic potential as diagonal terms in a multiband approach rather than the commonly used Rashba term dependent on k and electric field. It is pointed out that the expectation value of the electric field in a subband is sometimes not unique because the expectation values can even have opposite signs for the spin-split subband components. Symmetric quantum wells with Dresselhaus terms and the influence of the interfaces on the spin splitting are also discussed. We apply a well established multiband approach to wide modulation-doped InGaSb quantum wells with strong built-in electric fields in the interface regions. We demonstrate an efficient mechanism for switching on and off the Rashba splitting with an electric field being an order of magnitude smaller than the local built-in field that determines the Rashba splitting. The implications of our findings for spintronic devices, in particular the Datta-Das spin transistor and proposed modifications of it, are discussed.

description: IR spectra of a deuterated glass of the composition (in mol%) 16 Na2O · 10 CaO · 74 SiO2 complete earlier spectroscopic studies on water-poor soda-lime-silica glasses. The approved IR spectroscopic method of the deuterium exchange allows a reliable assignment of the hydroxyl bands also in the case of glasses. By spectra comparison the assignment of the IR bands at 3500 and 2800 cm-1 to hydroxyl groups with different hydrogen bonding is verified. The IR band at about 4500 cm-1 is interpreted as both a combination of the stretching vibrations vO-H and vSi-OH and a combination of the stretching vibration vO-H and the deformation vibration δSiOH. The bands at 1763 and 1602 cm-1 are attributed to combination vibrations of the glass network.

description: It is speculated how dark energy in a brane world can help reconcile an infinitely cyclic cosmology with the second law of thermodynamics. A cyclic cosmology is described, in which dark energy leads to a turnaround at a time, extremely shortly before the would-be Big Rip, at which both volume and entropy of our universe decrease by a gigantic factor, while very many independent similarly small contracting universes are spawned. The entropy of our universe decreases almost to zero at turnaround but increases for the remainder of the cycle by a vanishingly small amount during contraction, empty of matter, then by a large factor during inflationary expansion.

description: An amino-epoxy-silane based coating system (GAMAL) for glass surfaces was developed, which can efficiently protect bottles from the damages of a bottling plant. Testing bottles with a ramp pressure tester show an identical value of about (40 ± 4) bar for conventionally hot- and cold-end coated bottles and bottles coated with the developed organic-inorganic composite (GAMAL) system. After already 2 min of wet line-simulation testing, all species of a conventionally coated probe fall short of the critical limit of 16 bar, whereas bottles coated with GAMAL (thickness about 7 µm) show a value of (21 ± 3) bar. Coating is possible by dip and spray applicadon on cold or hot (80 °C) substrates, the coating is cured at 120 °C for 5 to 10 min. Additional functions such as colour or UV protection can be added easily, without reduction of the protection potential. The low content of carbon (about 0.5 g per 1 l soft drink bottle) should not disturb the recycling process of such coated bottles.
Rerum novarum und die Suche der katholischen Soziallehre nach ihrem emanzipatorischen Potential

description: Vor 120 Jahren hat Papst Leo XIII. das Proletarierelend mit aller nur wünsch-
 baren Deutlichkeit angeprangert und zu seiner Lösung vor allem mehr Sitt-
 lichkeit und Religion empfohlen. Auch heute, unter liberalistischem Vorzeichen,
 erscheint wirtschaftliches Handeln weitgehend »entmoralisiert«. Spätestens
 mit der Kapitalmarktkrise haben Markt und Staat ihre Grenzen gezeigt und
 die Legitimation unserer Ordnung in Frage gestellt. Der Ruf nach mehr Moral
 kann als ein Reflex auf diese Entwicklung verstanden werden. Rerum nova-
 rum hat die Bedeutung von Moral für die Lösung der Sozialen Frage hervor-
 gehoben, ihre strukturelle Problematik aber nicht angemessen erfassen kön-
 nen. Dieses Defizit ist der Anknüpfungspunkt für eine ordnungsethische Re-
 lecture der Enzyklika.

 One hundred and twenty years ago Pope Leo XIII. denounced the misery of the
 proletarian in all clarity and he recommended more morality and religion to solve
 the problem. Even today, under an omen of liberalism, economic acting seems
 to be quite «demoralized». At the latest with the crisis of the capital market both
 market and state have shown their limits and they have questioned the legitim-
 ation of our order. The appeal for more morality can be understood as a reflex
 on this development. Rerum novarum has stressed the meaning of morality to
 solve the «Soziale Frage» (Social Question), but it couldn't comprehend
 its structural problems sufficiently. This deficiency is the starting-point for an
 ethical rereading of the encyclical as far as social order is concerned.

Crystallization processes of these glasses were investigated using high-temperature X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Crystal phases occurred in the temperature range of 500 to 1050 °C, while the main precipitated phase was lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5). Lithium metasilicate, lithium orthophosphate, and cristobalite were secondary phases. Morphology and microstructure of the glass-ceramics were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Li2Si2O5 crystals in glass-ceramics had elongated shapes along the c-axis, crystal lengths ranging from 1 to 5 µm and aspect rados between 2 and 5. The lath-shaped Li2Si2O5 crystals were randomly oriented in the volume of the glass-ceramics and were responsible for the good mechanical properties. With increasing ZnO content a decrease of flexural strengths from 520 to 450 MPa was observed. It was concluded that the ZnO variation mainly influenced the translucency of the glass-ceramics. Relating to dental standard contrast ratios between 0.23 and 0.74, method limits of 0 and 1 provided, were determined.

description: Swift discovered the high redshift (z=6.29) GRB050904 with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and began observing with its narrow field instruments 161 s after the burst onset. This gamma-ray burst is the most distant cosmic explosion ever observed. Because of its high redshift, the X-ray Telescope (XRT) and BAT simultaneous observations provide 4 orders of magnitude of spectral coverage (0.2-150 keV; 1.4-1090 keV in the source rest frame) at a very early source-frame time (22 s). GRB050904 was a long, multi-peaked, bright GRB with strong variability during its entire evolution. The light curve observed by the XRT is characterized by the presence of a long flaring activity lasting up to 1-2 hours after the burst onset in the burst rest frame, with no evidence of a smooth power-law decay following the prompt emission as seen in other GRBs. However, the BAT tail extrapolated to the XRT band joins the XRT early light curve and the overall behavior resembles that of a very long GRB prompt. The spectral energy distribution softens with time, with the photon index decreasing from -1.2 during the BAT observation to -1.9 at the end of the XRT observation. The dips of the late X-ray flares may be consistent with an underlying X-ray emission arising from the forward shock and with the properties of the optical afterglow reported by Tagliaferri et al. (2005b). We interpret the BAT and XRT data as a single continuous observation of the prompt emission from a very long GRB. The peculiarities observed in GRB050904 could be due to its origin within one of the first star-forming regions in the Universe; very low metallicities of the progenitor at these epochs may provide an explanation.

Was verstehen die Päpste vom Kapitalismus? Einige Beobachtungen zu den beiden ersten Sozialenzykliken
Creators: name: Emunds, Bernhard
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2015

description: In den beiden hier untersuchten Sozialenzykliken, Rerum Novarum (Leo XIII., 1891)
 und Quadragesimo Anno (Pius XI., 1931), geht es ist nicht um eine Analyse der Funk-
 tionsweise des kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystems. Leo XIII. schaut von der »Arbei-
 terfrage« her auf den Kapitalismus, führt diesen sozialen Konflikt aber primär auf
 eine Abkehr der Menschen von der überkommenen Gesellschaftsordnung und von
 der kirchlichen Sittenlehre zurück. Statt einer Rückkehr zur Ständegesellschaft pro-
 pagiert er allerdings eine Zivilisierung des sozialen Konflikts durch die Kirche, durch
 Vereine – und durch den Staat. Den Klassenkonflikt begreift er vor allem als einen
 Gegensatz zwischen Reich und Arm, der durch die Habgier auf beiden Seiten ange-
 stachelt werde. Nur in seiner Reflexion auf den gerechten Lohn fragt er sehr präzise
 nach der Ohnmacht der Lohnarbeiter. 40 Jahre später geht es Pius XI. nicht zuerst
 um den Reich-Arm-Gegensatz, sondern um Machtasymmetrien in der kapitalistischen
 Wirtschaft. Er problematisiert die Macht der Kapitalbesitzer, die ganze Wirtschaft nach
 eigenen Vorstellungen zu organisieren. Konkret beklagt er für die frühen 1930er Jah-
 re die ungeheure Machtfülle der Lenker der Konzerne und Großbanken sowie die
 Schwäche der nationalstaatlichen Regierungen ihnen gegenüber.

 Both encyclicals, Rerum Novarum (Leo XIII., 1891) and Quadragesimo Anno (Pius
 XI., 1931), do not analyze the functionality of the capitalistic economic order. Leo
 XIII. looks at this economic order from the viewpoint of the «Social Question». In his
 view the social conflict is rooted in the renunciation of the traditional social order
 as well as of the moral teaching of the church. Instead of returning to a social
 order of estates by birth he favors a pacification of the social conflict through the
 church, associations – and the state. He grasps the class conflict mainly as an
 antagonism between rich and poor, which is spurred on by greed on both sides.
 Only in reflecting on fair wages he examines the powerlessness of the worker.
 40 years later, Pius XI. is not so much concerned with the antagonism between
 rich and poor but with the asymmetries of power within the capitalistic economy.
 He expounds the problem of the power of capitalists, who can organize the whole
 economy in accordance with their interests. Concretely he deplores in the early
 1930s the tremendous power of the leader of corporations, trusts and banks as
 well as the complementary weakness of national governments.

Matrix algebra method for deriving oxide factors and its relationship to the principle of least squares

description: Multiple regression analysis of glass property-composition data involves the derivadon of 'normal equations', one for each oxide factor. The number of these is, in general, much smaller than the number of initial equations, which, for each composition, relate the property to the glass composition. The normal equations are readily derived by a matrix multiplication process. It is shown, by the use of a simple numerical example, that the method minimizes the sum of squares of the residuals in the initial set of equations. The method is used to derive oxide factors for calculating thermal expansion coefficients of glasses in a number of systems. Good agreement between calculated and measured expansion coefficients was obtained, the best being for a large group of alkaline earth aluminoborosilicate glasses, data for which is given in a recent patent. For oxides of both group I and group II elements, there is a linear dependence of the oxide factor on z/a, where z is the valency and a is the cation-oxygen distance. The method and results are compared with earlier work.

description: We make use of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data to explore the nature of solar wind turbulence focusing on the Alfvénic character and power spectra of the fluctuations and their dependence on distance and context (i.e. large scale solar wind properties), aiming to understand the role that different effects such as source properties, solar wind expansion, stream interaction might play in determining the turbulent state. We carry out a statistical survey of the data from the first five orbits of PSP with a focus on how the fluctuation properties at the large, MHD scales, vary with different solar wind streams and distance from the Sun. A more in-depth analysis from several selected periods is also presented. Our results show that as fluctuations are transported outward by the solar wind, the magnetic field spectrum steepens while the shape of the velocity spectrum remains unchanged. The steepening process is controlled by the "age" of the turbulence, determined by the wind speed together with the radial distance. Statistically, faster solar wind has higher "Alfvénicity", with more dominant outward propagating wave component and more balanced magnetic/kinetic energies. The outward wave dominance gradually weakens with radial distance, while the excess of magnetic energy is found to be stronger as we move closer toward the Sun. We show that the turbulence properties can vary significantly stream to stream even if these streams are of similar speed, indicating very different origins of these streams. Especially, the slow wind that originates near the polar coronal holes has much lower Alfvénicity compared with the slow wind that originates from the active regions/pseudostreamers. We show that structures such as heliospheric current sheets and velocity shears can play an important role in modifying the properties of the turbulence.
Evaporation in industrial glass melt furnaces

description: Process conditions in glass furnaces, especially the settings of the combustion system, determine the rate of the evaporation processes at the glass melt surface. Reduction of volatilization to lower dust and heavy metal emissions, to minimize the refractory attack by the aggressive volatile components, and to limit depletion of volatile glass components at the glass melt surface is of great technological importance. This can be achieved by changes in burner design and burner positioning, optimizing combustion control and avoiding extreme glass surface temperatures. Such high local temperatures at the glass surface may lead to very high concentrations of PbO, NaOH or KOH vapors attacking the crown materials of the furnace. Evaporation model studies show the potential of process measures for the reduction of evaporation and minimizing depletion of alkali, lead or boron compounds at the glass melt surface. Sodium depletion down to 80 % of the original content can take place at the glass melt surfaee, in lead silicate melting processes depletion may reduce the lead concentrations by more than 50 %. Industrial tests support the results of modeling studies and show the effects of the settings of the combustion processes on glassmelt evaporation kinetics.

description: We study the low-energy dynamics of semi-classical vortex strings living above Argyres-Douglas superconformal field theories. The worldsheet theory of the string is shown to be a deformation of the CP^N model which flows in the infra-red to a superconformal minimal model. The scaling dimensions of chiral primary operators are determined and the dimensions of the associated relevant perturbations on the worldsheet and in the four dimensional bulk are found to agree. The vortex string thereby provides a map between the A-series of N=2 superconformal theories in two and four dimensions.
