description: In striving to understand Information Systems phenomena Information Systems researchers frequently draw on a seemingly endless array of different disciplines to inform their studies. This act has drawn both the ire and admiration of those within the field as well as those outside its porous boundaries. On the one hand Information Systems researchers are berated for being chaotic and schizophrenic in their combined research endeavour - for producing a collective output that shows neither rhyme nor reason. On the other hand they are praised for being intellectually open and democratic in their approach. These reactions draw their strength from the many issues that stem from diversity in Information Systems research. These reactions are stimulated in part by the assertion that research in the Information Systems discipline is diverse. Despite this assertion not much is known or understood about diversity in Information Systems research. This thesis addresses this critical oversight by making research diversity the prime focus. The contributions it makes to current understandings of research diversity in Information Systems are philosophical, theoretical and empirical. Philosophically, this thesis relies on the novel approach of fictism - a blend of positivism and interpretivism. Theoretically, it explores diversity through the alternative lens of concepts. Empirically it examines the conceptual diversity of three key Information Systems concepts: organisations, technology and people. Grounded in Lakoff and Johnson's (1980) work with metaphors, the results show that Information Systems research may not be as diverse as was initially thought. Of the three primary views of key Information Systems concepts - machine, organism and culture - the study finds a distinct bias toward conceptualising these concepts as machines. This bias, one that exists at the very core of the Information Systems research endeavour, has important implications not only for individual researchers but the broader Information Systems community alike.

description: Mobile devices have become ubiquitous not only in the consumer domain but also support the
digitalization of business operations though business apps. Many frameworks for programming
cross-platform apps have been proposed, but only few modeling approaches exist that focus on
platform-agnostic representations of mobile apps. In addition, app development activities are
almost exclusively performed by software developers, while domain experts are rarely involved in
the actual app creation beyond requirements engineering phases.
This work concentrates on a model-driven approach to app development that is also comprehensible
to non-technical users. With the help of a graphical domain-specific language, data model, view
representation, business logic, and user interactions are modeled in a common model from a
process perspective. To enable such an approach from a technical point of view, an inference
mechanism is presented that merges multiple partial data models into a global specification.
Through model transformations, native business apps can then be generated for multiple platforms
without manual programming.

description: In this talk we show that it is possible to find an upper bound on the total proton lifetime. We conclude that the minimal realistic non-supersymmetric grand unified theory is the modified Georgi-Glashow model with a Higgs sector composed of 5_H, 24_H, and 15_H. We discuss the possibility to test this scenario at the next generation of proton decay experiments and future colliders through the production of light scalar leptoquarks.

description: If the cosmic dark matter consists of weakly-interacting massive particles, these particles should be produced in reactions at the next generation of high-energy accelerators. Measurements at these accelerators can then be used to determine the microscopic properties of the dark matter. From this, we can predict the cosmic density, the annihilation cross sections, and the cross sections relevant to direct detection. In this paper, we present studies in supersymmetry models with neutralino dark matter that give quantitative estimates of the accuracy that can be expected. We show that these are well matched to the requirements of anticipated astrophysical observations of dark matter. The capabilities of the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) are expected to play a particularly important role in this study.

description: We derive the current response to the linearly polarized electromagnetic field with finite frequency and wave vector incident normally on the specular surface of a clean nonconventional superconductor with orbital spontaneous magnetization parallel to the crystal axis and perpendicular to the crystal surface. The result includes the usual part known from the theory of conventional superconductivity and as well the magneto-optical term typical for the superconductors with spontaneous time reversal breaking. As an application of the basic current-field relation we consider the Kerr effect for the rotation of polarization of infrared light reflected from the superconductor surface.

description: Many core-collapse supernova progenitors show indications of enhanced pre-supernova (SN) mass loss and outbursts, some of which could be powered by wave energy transport within the progenitor star. Depending on the star's structure, convectively excited waves driven by late stage nuclear burning can carry substantial energy from the core to the envelope, where the wave energy is dissipated as heat. We examine the process of wave energy transport in single-star SNe progenitors with masses between $11-50 M_{\odot}$. Using MESA stellar evolution simulations, we evolve stars until core collapse and calculate the wave power produced and transmitted to the stars' envelopes. These models improve upon prior efforts by incorporating a more realistic wave spectrum and non-linear damping effects, reducing our wave heating estimates by $\sim$ 1 order of magnitude compared to prior work. We find that waves excited during oxygen/neon burning typically transmit $10^{46-47}$ erg of energy at 0.1-10 years before core collapse in typical ($M < 30 M_\odot$) SN progenitors. High-mass progenitors can often transmit $\sim 10^{47-48}$ erg of energy during oxygen/neon burning, but this tends to occur later, at about 0.01-0.1 years before core collapse. Pre-SN outbursts may be most pronounced in low-mass SN progenitors ($M \lesssim 12 M_\odot$) undergoing semi-degenerate neon ignition, and in high-mass progenitors ($M \gtrsim 30 M_\odot$) exhibiting convective shell mergers.

description: In this work, a Geared Infinitely Variable Transmission (GIVT) which uses gears to transfer torque rather than frictional components is detailed. A comparison is made to existing continuously variable and infinitely variable transmission technology and a description of function in past and present GIVT designs is presented. The new GIVT features non-circular gearing and a scotch yoke mechanism to achieve zero speed fluctuation and avoid losses due to torque recirculation. A functioning prototype was designed and manufactured to test the performance of the scotch yoke mechanism. The theoretical efficiency was calculated and reported. New equations were derived to analyze the frictional power loss of a rack and pinion gear mesh, something which has been missing in gear design literature to date. The prototype efficiency was measured and compared to the theoretical efficiency. Using the theoretical and experimental results, several changes are proposed which will improve the performance and efficiency of the GIVT.

description: Researches on anomalous Hall effect (AHE) have been lasting for a century to make clear the underlying physical mechanism. Generally, the AHE appears in magnetic materials, in which extrinsic process related to scattering effects and intrinsic contribution connected with Berry curvature are crucial. Recently, AHE has been counterintuitively observed in non-magnetic topological materials and attributed to the existence of Weyl points. However, the Weyl point scenario would lead to unsaturated AHE even in large magnetic fields and contradicts the saturation of AHE in several tesla (T) in experiments. In this work, we investigate the Hall effect of ZrTe5 and HfTe5 thin flakes in static ultrahigh magnetic fields up to 33 T. We find the AHE saturates to 55 (70) Ohm^-1*cm^-1 for ZrTe5 (HfTe5) thin flakes above ~ 10 T. Combining detailed magnetotransport experiments and Berry curvature calculations, we clarify that the splitting of massive Dirac bands without Weyl points can be responsible for AHE in non-magnetic topological materials ZrTe5 and HfTe5 thin flakes. This model can identify our thin flake samples to be weak topological insulators and serve as a new tool to probe the band structure topology in topological materials.

description: Complexes with tetra- and hexadentate polyaminopyridyl ligating moieties were prepared and studied as part of a process to understand the coordination chemistry of oxorhenium and oxotechnetium metal centres as potential radiopharmaceuticals. N, N'-bis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamineoxorhenium(V) perrhenate, [ReO(pmen)][Re0₄], N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine- N,N'- diacetatooxorhenium(V7) bromide, [ReO(bped)]Br, N,N'-bis (2-pyridylmethyl) - ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetatooxotechnetium(V) chloride, [TcO(bped)]Cl, were prepared and characterized. In addition, three new potential ligands: N,N'-bis (methylcarboxymethyl)-N, N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl) etliylenediamine, pmen-OMe, N,N'-bis(etiiylcarboxymethyl)-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)- ethylenediamine, pmen-OEt, and N,N'-bis(tert-butylcarboxymethyl)-N,N'- bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine, pmen-OBut, were prepared for the first time and characterized. The oxorhenium and oxotechnetium complexes were characterized by mass spectrometry, elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. H₂pmen and the pmen-esters are oils and elemental analyses were not performed. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were not obtained for any of the complexes prepared. Characterization of the oxorhenium(V) and oxotechnetium(V) complexes revealed a number of possible geometries. [ReO(pmen][Re0₄] is proposed to be a 5-coordinate square pyramidal or trigonal bipyramidal complex. The [ReO(bped)]Br and [TcO(bped)]Cl complexes were thought to be either 5- or 7-coordinate complexes. ¹H NMR of the bped²⁻ complexes showed three AA'BB' patterns in CD₃OD indicative of coordinated acetate groups in a 7-coordlnate monocapped trigonal prism or pentagonal bipyramidal type configuration. In D₂O, [ReO(bped)]+ showed two AA'BB' patterns and a singlet in the ¹H NMR characteristic of pendant acetate groups. The similarity between the bped²⁻ complexes and the pmen²⁻ complex suggests that the bped²⁻ complexes have the same possible 5-coordinate configurations as [ReO(pmen)]+. Based on steric interactions and ring strain associated with the bped complexes, the monocapped trigonal prism or square pyramidal configurations were believed to be favoured. It was not possible to identify the true configuration without an X-ray diffraction study.

Classical aspects of lightlike dimensional reduction
Creators: name: Minguzzi, E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some aspects of lightlike dimensional reduction in flat spacetime are studied with emphasis to classical applications. Among them the Galilean transformation of shadows induced by inertial frame changes is studied in detail by proving that, (i) the shadow of an object has the same shape in every orthogonal-to-light screen, (ii) if two shadows are simultaneous in an orthogonal-to-light screen then they are simultaneous in any such screen. In particular, the Galilean group in 2+1 dimensions is recognized as an exact symmetry of Nature which acts on the shadows of the events instead that on the events themselves. The group theoretical approach to lightlike dimensional reduction is used to solve the reconstruction problem of a trajectory starting from its acceleration history or from its projected (shadow) trajectory. The possibility of obtaining a Galilean projected physics starting from a Poincaré invariant physics is stressed through the example of relativistic collisions. In particular, it is shown that the projection of a relativistic collision between massless particles gives a non-relativistic collision in which the kinetic energy is conserved.

description: We present an overview of the ALMA chemical survey of disk-outflow sources in Taurus (ALMA-DOT), a campaign devoted to the characterization of the molecular emission from partly embedded, young stars. The project aims at better understanding the gaseous products that are delivered to planets by means of high-resolution maps of assorted lines probing disks at the time of the planet formation (less than 1 Myr). Nine different molecules are surveyed by our observations of six Class I/flat-spectrum sources. A series of accompanying articles analyze specific targets and molecules. Here we describe the sample and provide a general overview of the results, focusing on the spatial distribution, column densities, and abundance ratios of H$_2$CO, CS, and CN. The results of this work are a first step toward the characterization of the disk chemical evolution that need to be complemented by further observations of less exceptional disks and customized thermo-chemical modeling.

description: Wear of total joint replacement (TJR) articulating surfaces is a major concern in the orthopaedic community and the improved wear performance of implantable materials is of great interest.  The aims of this research were to explore 1) the creation and basic performance of an integrated TiC micro-textured surface on a Ti6Al4V ELI alloy for improved wear performance, and 2) the biocompatibility of the existing LIMB micro-textured CoCrMo-carbide surface. Preliminary investigation results were used to develop a refined microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) processing parameter matrix.  The micro-textured surface created from a Ti6Al4V substrate by MPCVD processing was a TiC coating (confirmed by XPS).  Each MPCVD processing parameter set resulted in an increase in the surface roughness.  Surface Vickers microhardness values ranged from a 10% loss to a 208% gain when compared to polished, as-received Ti.  The weight gain of specimens with an improved microhardness was distinctly lower than the weight gain of specimens with little or no improvement in microhardness.  Images of cross-sectioned specimens were analyzed to determine that the visible surface layer thickness of the specimen with a 10% loss in HV was 2 times greater than any of the other 6 cross-sectioned specimens.  An increase in Vickers microhardness along the depth of the cross-section indicated an overall increase in HV of the bulk material. This study demonstrated that an integrated micro-textured TiC surface layer grown from a Ti6Al4V ELI bulk material has the potential to improve the wear surface of Ti alloy implants. To investigate the biocompatibility of the existing LIMB micro-textured CoCrMo-carbide surface, osteoblast-like MG63 cells were propagated on 4 LIMB CoCrMo-carbide specimen types, polished as-received CoCrMo and control surfaces.  The CoCrMo-carbide surface was not cytotoxic to MG63 cells.  Cell viability and attachment to the CoCrMo-carbide surfaces was visually confirmed by field emission SEM. Type 1 collagen - as measured by ELISA from the media of cells grown on carbide test surfaces - was at least 40% less than type 1 collagen from polished CoCrMo or polystyrene test surfaces. The experiments in this study encourage further efforts to assess the biocompatibility of the carbide surface.

description: This thesis explores the prevalence of camp or gender-blurring performance in the Cold War South, its roots in black and white regional traditions, its influence in rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll, and its role as a mediator in the heightened anxiety about gender roles and sexuality during the late 1940s and 1950s. While camp style is generally associated with gay, urbane, whites, the paper makes a claim for a southern version, its inflections drawn from a range of sources: African-American parody, frank treatment of sexuality in the blues, traveling carnivals, folk ritual and Cold War adaptations of Hollywood styles, arguing that in its vigilance about black male sexuality during and before the Cold War, the white South enabled the emergence of a gay sensibility in black performance in the 1950s. The paper looks at camp performers in New Orleans, Atlanta, South Carolina, and the most influential practitioners:  ""Little"" Richard Penniman and Elvis Presley.

description: We present results from the Austral Winter 2003 observing campaign of SPARO, a 450 micron polarimeter used with a two-meter telescope at South Pole. We mapped large-scale magnetic fields in four Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in the Galactic disk: NGC 6334, the Carina Nebula, G333.6-0.2 and G331.5-0.1. We find a statistically significant correlation of the inferred field directions with the orientation of the Galactic plane. Specifically, three of the four GMCs (NGC 6334 is the exception) have mean field directions that are within 15 degrees of the plane. The simplest interpretation is that the field direction tends to be preserved during the process of GMC formation. We have also carried out an analysis of published optical polarimetry data. For the closest of the SPARO GMCs, NGC 6334, we can compare the field direction in the cloud as measured by SPARO with the field direction in a larger region surrounding the cloud, as determined from optical polarimetry. For purposes of comparison, we also use optical polarimetry to determine field directions for other regions of similar size and distance. Overall, the results from this optical polarimetry analysis are consistent with our suggestion that field direction tends to be preserved during GMC formation. Finally, we compare the disorder in our magnetic field maps with the disorder seen in magnetic field maps derived from MHD turbulence simulations. We conclude from these comparisons that the magnetic energy density in our clouds is comparable to the turbulent energy density.

description: Vortex coronagraphs have been shown to be a promising avenue for high-contrast imaging in the close-in environment of stars at thermal infrared (IR) wavelengths. They are included in the baseline design of METIS. To ensure good performance of these coronagraphs, a precise control of the centering of the star image in real time is needed. We previously developed and validated the quadrant analysis of coronagraphic images for tip-tilt sensing estimator (QACITS) pointing estimator to address this issue. While this approach is not wavelength-dependent in theory, it was never implemented for mid-IR observations, which leads to specific challenges and limitations. Here, we present the design of the mid-IR vortex coronagraph for the new Earths in the $α$ Cen Region (NEAR) experiment with the VLT/VISIR instrument and assess the performance of the QACITS estimator for the centering control of the star image onto the vortex coronagraph. We use simulated data and on-sky data obtained with VLT/VISIR, which was recently upgraded for observations assisted by adaptive optics in the context of the NEAR experiment. We demonstrate that the QACITS-based correction loop is able to control the centering of the star image onto the NEAR vortex coronagraph with a stability down to $0.015 λ/D$ rms over 4h in good conditions. These results show that QACITS is a robust approach for precisely controlling in real time the centering of vortex coronagraphs for mid-IR observations.

description: Objective To determine the evidence for non-specific effects of the Pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenza vaccine in children aged 5 years and under. Data sources A key word literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the European Union Clinical Trials Register and ClinicalTrials.gov up to June 2023. Study eligibility criteria Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-RCT or cohort studies. Participants Children aged 5 or under. Study appraisal and synthesis methods Studies were independently screened by two reviewers, with a third where disagreement arose. Risk of bias assessment was performed by one reviewer and confirmed by a second. Results were tabulated and a narrative description performed. Results Four articles were identified and included in this review. We found a reduction in hospitalisations from influenza A (44%), pulmonary tuberculosis (42%), metapneumovirus (45%), parainfluenza virus type 1–3 (44%), along with reductions in mortality associated with pneumococcal vaccine. No data on the Haemophilus vaccine was found. Conclusions and implications In this systematic review, we demonstrate that there is a reduction in particular viral infections in children aged 5 years and under who received the 9-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine which differ from those for which the vaccine was designed to protect against. While limited studies have demonstrated a reduction in infections other than those which the vaccine was designed to protect against, substantial clinical trials are required to solidify these findings.

description: The use of a variable torque generator (VTG) with a movable stator relative to the rotor in the drivetrain of a wind turbine is investigated theoretically and computationally. This feature allows the use of a larger capacity generator in wind turbines to increase the rated power in high wind speeds and still keep them in operation in even lower than cut-in speed ranges. Thus, by harnessing more wind power throughout the entire power curve of the wind turbine, from the new cut-in speed to the cut-out speed, the efficiency of the wind turbine can be increased. The stator and the frame of the generator can be attached to a movable frame and changes in overlap can be mechanically achieved by a worm and worm gear system connected to the movable frame. Theoretical analyses together with computational methods on several wind turbine generators illustrate the advantages of having VTG feature in terms of decreasing the cut-in speed, increasing the rated power, and at the end improving the efficiency of a wind turbine. The aerodynamic and electromagnetic properties of the wind turbine are combined to make the best estimation on changing in overlap.  At the end, simulation and mathematical results are presented and possible advantages of VTG with focus on on-shore wind turbine applications are discussed.

description: A homogeneous spectroscopic analysis of unevolved and evolved stars in the metal-poor globular cluster NGC 6397 with FLAMES-UVES reveals systematic trends of stellar surface abundances that are likely caused by atomic diffusion. This finding helps to understand, among other issues, why the lithium abundances of old halo stars are significantly lower than the abundance found to be produced shortly after the Big Bang.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The collisional pumping of OH masers in non-dissociative C-type shocks near supernova remnants is considered. The emergence of maser emission in OH lines is investigated for various shock parameters - the shock speed, the preshock gas density, the cosmic-ray ionization rate, and the magnetic field strength. The largest optical depth in the 1720 MHz line is reached at high gas ionization rates $ζ\geq 10^{-15}$ s$^{-1}$, an initial density $n_{\rm H,0} \leq 2 \times 10^4$ cm$^{-3}$, and a shock speed $u_{\rm s} \geq 20$ km s$^{-1}$. According to our calculations, there is also a level population inversion for the 6049 and 4765 MHz transitions of excited OH rotational states. However, the optical depth in these lines is small for all of the investigated shock parameters, which explains the non-detection of maser emission in these lines in supernova remnants.

description: Background/Objective: The entire world population is greatly impacted by sleep disturbances, which result in a wide range of health issues. It is essential to comprehend how common they are and how to treat them is crucial for improving overall well-being. The investigation aims to assess the current frequency of sleep disorders in Saudi Arabia and to appraise the existing approaches for managing these disorders. This endeavor will provide valuable perspectives on the status of sleep health in the nation and guide forthcoming interventions.

Methods: In November 2023, a comprehensive search was conducted primarily using PubMed, following PRISMA criteria. The search focused on English-language studies examining the management of sleep disorders and their prevalence in Saudi Arabia. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were established to ensure the quality and relevance of the evaluated research. Results: Research from Saudi Arabia across a wide spectrum was included in the study. A noticeable pattern showed a high proportion of individuals affected by sleep disorders. The findings imply a need for further investigation into the potential causes of these disorders. The research also emphasizes the necessity of tailored interventions to address the specific needs of individuals in Saudi Arabia affected by sleep disorders. This comprehensive approach could lead to improved overall health and well-being for those impacted by these conditions.

Conclusion: Based on our research, sleep disorders are highly prevalent in the population of Saudi Arabia. These disorders are linked to a range of demographic, lifestyle, and health-related factors. It is essential to tackle these factors to create effective interventions and improve sleep health in the country. Understanding the underlying causes of sleep disorders and their connections to various factors will allow us to customize prevention and treatment strategies to suit the population's specific needs. Additional research and public health efforts are necessary to offer support to individuals dealing with sleep disorders in Saudi Arabia.

description: In this work, the two-photon-exchange (TPE) effects in $e^+e^- \rightarrow π^+ π^-$ at small $\sqrt{s}$ are discussed within a hadronic model. In the limit $m_e\rightarrow 0$, the TPE contribution to the amplitude can be described by one scalar function $\overline{c}_{1}^{(2γ)}$. The ratio between this function and the corresponding contribution in one-photon exchange $c_{1}^{(1γ)}$ reflects all the information of the TPE corrections. The numerical results on this ratio are presented and an artificial function is used to fit the numerical results. The latter can be used conveniently in the further experimental data analysis. The numerical results show the asymmetry of the differential cross sections in $e^+e^- \rightarrow π^+ π^-$ is about $-4\%$ at $\sqrt{s}\sim 0.7$ GeV.
