description: We present results from simulations of Two Color QCD with two Wilson quark flavors in the presence of a quark chemical potential mu at two different lattice spacings. The equation of state, conformal anomaly, superfluid order parameter and Polyakov line are all discussed. Our results suggest that the transition from hadronic to quark matter, and that from confined to deconfined matter occur at distinct values of mu, consistent with the existence of a quarkyonic phase in this model.

description: An efficient approach for the simulation of ion scattering from solids is proposed. For every encountered atom, we take multiple samples of its thermal displacements among those which result in scattering with high probability to finally reach the detector. As a result, the detector is illuminated by intensive "showers", where each event of detection must be weighted according to the actual probability of the atom displacement. The computational cost of such simulation is orders of magnitude lower than in the direct approach and a comprehensive analysis of multiple and plural scattering effects becomes possible. We use the new method for two purposes. First, the accuracy of the approximate approaches, developed mainly for ion-beam structural analysis, is verified. Second, the possibility to reproduce a wide class of experimental conditions is used to analyze some basic features of ion-solid collisions: the role of double violent collisions in low-energy ion scattering; the origin of the "surface peak" in scattering from amorphous samples; the low-energy tail in the energy spectra of scattered medium-energy ions due to plural scattering; the degradation of blocking patterns in 2D angular distributions with increasing depth of scattering. As an example of simulation for ions of MeV energies, we verify the time-reversibility for channeling/blocking of 1 MeV protons in a W crystal. The possibilities of analysis that our approach offers may be very useful for various applications in particular for structural analysis with atomic resolution.

Prompt GeV Emission from Residual Collisions in GRB Outflows: Evidence from Fermi Observations of GRB 080916c
Creators: name: Li, Zhuo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The gamma-rays from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to be produced by internal shocks driven by small timescale, ~1 ms, variation in the GRB outflows, and a pair-production spectral cutoff is generally expected around the GeV range. However, the observed optical flashes accompanying GRBs suggest that the delayed residual collisions due to large timescale variation continue to accelerate electrons. We show here that the inverse-Compton (IC) scattering of the prompt gamma-rays by these residual internal shock electrons leads to a high energy emission beyond the previously thought spectral cutoff, in agreement with the previous detections of GeV photons by EGRET in several GRBs in conjunction with MeV emission. We expect a spectral break due to the transition from the primary to residual internal shock emission at the previously thought spectral cutoff, and expect systematic time delays of high energy photons relative to MeV emission, the discovery of which would provide stringent constraint on the outflow properties, but requires large enough collection of high energy photons by, e.g., Fermi and AGILE satellites. The recent Fermi-detected bright GRB 080916c unambiguously shows the shifting of the prompt emission toward later times as the photon energy increases, as predicted in the residual collision model. The detected prompt, highest energy photon (about 70 GeV in the rest frame of the GRB) may not be produced by primary internal shocks but by IC emission in residual collisions. With the method involving time delays of high energy emission, the bulk Lorentz factor of GRB 080916c is determined to be Γ~ 300.

description: Convergence of the ensemble Kalman filter in the limit for large ensembles to the Kalman filter is proved. In each step of the filter, convergence of the ensemble sample covariance follows from a weak law of large numbers for exchangeable random variables, the continuous mapping theorem gives convergence in probability of the ensemble members, and $L^p$ bounds on the ensemble then give $L^p$ convergence.

description: The development of environmental remedies using ecofriendly and green technologies is attracting increasing research attention. Herein, the green synthesis of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles (NPs) using extract of selected Asteraceous flora species is reported for the first time along with the investigation of the degradation ability for organic pollutants and pollen morphological characteristics of wetland species of the family Asteraceae. An X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation and crystalline structure of the MoO3 NPs. Fourier transform infrared spectra of Lactuca Serriola extract indicated the presence of capping agents, reducing agents, and phytochemicals. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed the almost spherical shape of the MoO3 NPs. A qualitative and quantitative palynological investigation of 21 species belonging to 12 genera of the Asteraceae from different wetlands of Azad Jammu and Kashmir is also reported. The MoO3 NPs degraded 99% of crystal violet dye within 30 minutes with a degradation rate of 0.022 min−1. The cost-efficient and green synthesis method for MoO3 NPs with high catalytic activity provides a new platform for the development of photocatalysts.
Student’s perceptions of clinical experiences

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Student's feelings, ideas and understandings of their experiences when learning to nurse have received very little attention as indicated by the nursing literature. The purpose of this study was to develop a tool which would gather data of the student's perceptions of her clinical learning experiences. The type of tool selected for development was a questionnaire. The questions were derived from three specific areas: past learning experiences, expectations of the teacher and the individual's ideas of her own learning needs in the clinical setting. A sample of sixty-four student nurses from three basic nursing education programs were selected. These students, midway through their programs, had all had clinical learning experiences. The data were collected by the researcher who administered the questionnaire. All students who were asked to volunteer did so, all questions were completed by each group of students. The data results were compiled noting individual responses as well as similarities and differences between schools. No significant differences were noted in the responses between the three different nursing programs. A similarity of responses was noted for the majority of questions across the three schools. The students' choice of responses supports many of the findings revealed in the literature review. A specific preference for a small class size and the lecture-discussion method of instruction was evident. Students expressed a positive feeling toward clinical evaluation, but indicated that receiving a clinical evaluation from a teacher caused them a high degree of stress. Fifty-four per cent of the students supported past findings which suggest that students believe they most often receive feedback from the teacher when they have performed unsatisfactorily. The majority of students believed that teachers did perceive themselves as counselors. One-third of the students indicated they thought teachers avoided giving direct negative criticism. Another one-third believed this might happen but had not personally experienced it. Individual responses to the questions indicated a wide variety of perceptions related to clinical learning experiences. Although the tool may give an indication of trends in student's ideas and feelings, it is primarily designed to be used with individual students. Knowledge of the individual's perceptions may give the teacher insight into the meaning of events to the learner. Students in all three schools gave positive support for the collection and use of these data in attempting to improve individual teaching/learning experiences in the clinical area.

description: Vesicles are becoming a quite popular model for the study of red blood cells (RBCs). This is a free boundary problem which is rather difficult to handle theoretically. Quantitative computational approaches constitute also a challenge. In addition, with numerical studies, it is not easy to scan within a reasonable time the whole parameter space. Therefore, having quantitative analytical results is an essential advance that provides deeper understanding of observed features and can be used to accompany and possibly guide further numerical development. In this paper shape evolution equations for a vesicle in a shear flow are derived analytically with precision being cubic (which is quadratic in previous theories) with regard to the deformation of the vesicle relative to a spherical shape. The phase diagram distinguishing regions of parameters where different types of motion (tank-treading, tumbling and vacillating-breathing) are manifested is presented. This theory reveals unsuspected features: including higher order terms and harmonics (even if they are not directly excited by the shear flow) is necessary, whatever the shape is close to a sphere. Not only does this theory cure a quite large quantitative discrepancy between previous theories and recent experiments and numerical studies, but also it reveals a new phenomenon: the VB mode band in parameter space, which is believed to saturate after a moderate shear rate, exhibits a striking widening beyond a critical shear rate. The widening results from excitation of fourth order harmonic. The obtained phase diagram is in a remarkably good agreement with recent three dimensional numerical simulations based on the boundary integral formulation. Comparison of our results with experiments is systematically made.

description: The central hypothesis of this paper is that the quality of urban life, the collective well‑being and the sustainability can become competitive factors in local tourism development policies with particular reference to small destination. The present work shows how competitiveness of small destinations moves away from a paradigm that considers the concept of growth being synonymous of development. The development concept is broader and more comprehensive than that of growth, as it involves ethical and cultural aspects that lead it back to the improvement of quality of life. Thus, ‘degrowth’ (Latouche, 2003; Martinez‑Alier, Pascual, Vivien & Zaccai, 2010; Schneider, Kallis & Martinez‑Allier, 2010) and the ‘alternative growth’ (Layard, 2005; Van den Bergh, 2009; Van den Bergh & Kallis, 2012) are new paradigms of growth, which highlights the challenge that destinations have to face in order to switch from a quantitative to a qualitative pattern. The latter puts quality at the heart of development, as a leverage of competitiveness and social well‑being of local communities. The smaller destinations are areas most suited to development paths in which quality is a transversal factor and not the prerogative of a single sector. These destinations are more oriented to undertake sustainable development paths in which the quality, social capital and innovation play an important role in all areas such as the economy, the environment and cultural heritage, creating added value capable of reinforcing the entire territorial system. In this framework the EDEN (European Destinations of Excellence) project is an initiative promoted by the European Commission to promote models of sustainable tourism development for small destination throughout the European Union. This paper analyses the EDEN project experience in Italy, by identifying the distribution of candidate destinations in the various regions and the type of proposing subjects, opening up prospects of future research aimed at understanding the concrete effects of the EDEN project on the sustainable tourism development of the small destinations.

description: The Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector of ALICE is designed to identify charged particles produced in Pb--Pb collisions at the LHC to address the physics of strongly-interacting matter and the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The detector is based on the Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) technology which guarantees the excellent performance required for a large time-of-flight array. The construction and installation of the apparatus in the experimental site have been completed and the detector is presently fully operative. All the steps which led to the construction of the TOF detector were strictly followed by a set of quality assurance procedures to enable high and uniform performance and eventually the detector has been commissioned with cosmic rays.  This work aims at giving a detailed overview of the ALICE TOF detector, also focusing on the tests performed during the construction phase. The first data-taking experience and the first results obtained with cosmic rays during the commissioning phase are presented as well and allow to confirm the readiness state of the TOF detector for LHC collisions.

Il rivelatore sfrutta la tecnologia innovativa MRPC (Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber) che garantisce le eccellenti prestazioni richieste ad un vasto sistema per la misura del tempo di volo. La costruzione e l'installazione dell'apparato nel sito sperimentale sono state completate ed il rivelatore è attualmente operativo in tutte le sue parti. Tutti i passi necessari per la costruzione del rivelatore finale sono stati accompagnati da una serie di procedure per il controllo della qualità della produzione allo scopo di garantire prestazioni elevate ed uniformi; infine il corretto funzionamento del rivelatore è stato verificato con raggi cosmici. 
Questo resoconto ha lo scopo di fornire una visione d'insieme dettagliata del rivelatore TOF di ALICE, focalizzando l'attenzione anche sui test effettuati durante le fasi di costruzione. Oltre ad una breve descrizione dell'esperienza acquisita nelle prime fasi di presa dati sono presentati i primi risultati ottenuti con raggi cosmici che confermano promettenti prestazioni del rivelatore TOF per lo studio delle collisioni di LHC.

description: Many energetic and environmental evaluations need appropriate meteorological data, as input to analysis and prevision softwares. 
In Italy there aren't adeguate meteorological data because, in many cases, they are incomplete, incorrect and also very expensive for a long-term analysis (that needs multi-year data sets).

A possible solution to this problem is the use of a Typical Meteorological Year (TRY), generated for specific applications. Nowadays the TRYs have been created, using statistical criteria, just for the analysis of solar energy systems and for predicting the thermal performance of buildings, applying it also to the study of photovoltaic plants (PV), though not specifically created for this type of application.

The present research has defined the methodology for the creation of TRYs for different applications. In particular TRYs for environmental and wind plant analysis  have been created. This is the innovative aspect of this research, never explored before. In additions, the methodology of the generation for the PV TRYs has been improved.

The results are very good and the TRYs generated for these applications are adeguate to characterize the climatic condition of the place over a long period and can be used for energetic and environmental studies.

description: Unconstrained local Lagrangians for higher-spin gauge theories are bound to involve auxiliary fields, whose integration in the partition function generates geometric, effective actions expressed in terms of curvatures. When applied to the triplets, emerging from the tensionless limit of open string field theory, the same procedure yields interesting alternative forms of geometric Lagrangians, expressible for both bosons and fermions as squares of field-strengths. This shows that higher-spin curvatures might play a role in the dynamics, regardless of whether the Fronsdal-Labastida constraints are assumed or forgone.

O artigo tem como objetivos verificar o legado dessas políticas – criação e remodelação de espaços, estruturas e atrações turísticas e mudança de orientação do conselho local – e avaliar os seus resultados, dentro do objetivo de transformar Hull num importante destino turístico, pólo varejista e sede de firmas do setor terciário avançado. A metodologia de pesquisa compreendeu a revisão de literatura, a pesquisa documental, entrevistas e o levantamento fotográfico. Além de Hull, foram visitadas outras quinze cidades inglesas, o que permitiu uma análise em perspectiva comparada. Avalia-se que, dada a ausência de elementos e atrações turísticas únicas, a imagem de lugar tedioso e sem nada para fazer e a concorrência crescente de outras cidades inglesas, que têm investido em regeneração urbana e promoção turística, lugares como Hull têm uma crescente dificuldade em atingir os seus objetivos.

description: This research aimed to analyze the tourism supply chain (TSC) in Juiz de Fora (MG), focusing on its structural components, main links, internal management process and possible inter-organizational relationships. We used a literature review on operations management, production management, production planning and control (PCP), logistics and supply chain on tourism, to analyze and compare the proposed concepts and offer a model related to the tourism product. Methodologically, this study used a mixed research, mainly quantitative but with some complementary qualitative questions. It was conducted a systematic mapping, through a non-intentional and probabilistic sampling with 100 companies that make up the TSC in Juiz de Fora (MG), complemented with qualitative data, on the reasons for certain types of behavior and practices of these companies. Empirically, the supply chain in question was considered from all its main links, namely: lodging, food, travel agencies, cultural equipment and transportation. Its analysis was carried out on the basis of 6 blocks of questions, each of them having a set of questions, which generated an “x-ray” of the TSC in Juiz de Fora. The results show that despite generating an average annual revenue of 3.6 million/year per company, the sector still lacks internal improvement in management practices, as well as inter-organizational integration, which leads to the conclusion that the output could be better if such optimizations were introduced.

description: It is proposed that critical balance - a scale-by-scale balance between the linear propagation and nonlinear interaction time scales - can be used as a universal scaling conjecture for determining the spectra of strong turbulence in anisotropic wave systems. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), rotating and stratified turbulence are considered under this assumption and, in particular, a novel and experimentally testable energy cascade scenario and a set of scalings of the spectra are proposed for low-Rossby-number rotating turbulence. It is argued that in neutral fluids, the critically balanced anisotropic cascade provides a natural path from strong anisotropy at large scales to isotropic Kolmogorov turbulence at very small scales. It is also argued that the kperp^{-2} spectra seen in recent numerical simulations of low-Rossby-number rotating turbulence may be analogous to the kperp^{-3/2} spectra of the numerical MHD turbulence in the sense that they could be explained by assuming that fluctuations are polarised (aligned) approximately as inertial waves (Alfven waves for MHD).

description: The cruise industry was responsible for generating more than 500,000 direct jobs (crew and workers of onshore companies) and for paying more than $21 billion in wages in 2019 worldwide. Despite the expressive numbers, very little is guided or discuss the working conditions to which the crew of sea cruises is subjected. From this context, the objective of this research is to measure the intensification of crew work on cruise ships, based on a study of cabotage ships on the Brazilian coast, in the period between the summer seasons of 2013/2014 and 2019/2020. The intensification of work appeared in the economic history of humanity especially in times of capital expansion or at times when legislation imposed limits on working hours. If there are limits to the length of journeys, the technology will be the instrument used to ensure increased productivity, making it work more intensely in shorter intervals. In the case of cruises, it was found that the intensity of work has increased over time, according to the increase in the capacity of ships. This is because megacruises have proportionally fewer crewmembers than smaller cruises aiming at reducing the cost of the operation, as well as cheeping trips to the consumer market, through the massification of production. The results of this research indicate that the passenger/crew member ranged from 3.09 to 3.34, considering all ships that were in Brazil between the 2013/2014 and 2019/2020 seasons. In addition,while the number of passengers per ship grew by anaverage of 9%; the number of crew members per ship grew by an average of 8%. It is concluded that the operation of megacruisestends to increase,even if slowly,the intensification of the crew’s work.

description: Al hilo de un cambio paradigmático hacia temas espaciales en las ciencias, también en la investigación de las regiones industriales tradicionales se establece desde hace tiempo y cada vez más la consideración de los ‘mapas mentales’ – la idea de que hay que completar los datos cuantificables y los límites administrativos con la investigación de los mundos conceptuales y los campos simbólicos como son la percepción de la realidad y los procesos de identidad. Pero no solamente por esto es importante interrelacionar la salida de la crisis estructural productiva de las regiones industriales tradicionales con la cuestión del cambio de perspectiva e identidad, sino por dos razones más que son claves para el turismo industrial. La primera es que la propia definición de turismo y también la de turismo industrial en su origen dependen de la cuestión de una visión positiva o negativa del lugar que visita el turista. La segunda es la importancia que tiene el desarrollo de una perspectiva y identidad positiva durante el cambio estructural y las medidas políticas, económicas y sociales tomadas para paliar sus consecuencias para el desarrollo de un turismo industrial sostenible y exitoso. Por lo tanto, en el presente artículo se tratará primero la definición y luego la interdependencia de cambio estructural, identidad y turismo industrial.

description: Enobrecimento, gentrificação, ou gentrification, é um processo socioespacial e cultural que pode ser compreendido como a transformação de significados em localidades urbanas (geralmente centrais e culturalmente relevantes), baseado em lógicas de mercado, em que ocorre apropriação cultural de espaços, a partir de fluxos de capital, e que tem como suas tendências a exclusão social e a expulsão de populações locais de baixa renda das áreas ‘enobrecidas’. Este trabalho aborda um tipo de enobrecimento que ocorre comumente no Brasil, que é voltado para a atração de turistas e visitantes para centros históricos revitalizados, denominado enobrecimento de visitação. Esse processo ocorreu na cidade de Maceió-AL, no bairro de Jaraguá, e foi influenciado por financiamentos originados do Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID), através do Banco do Nordeste do Brasil (BNB). Esse texto visa a explicitar as contradições existentes no caso aqui estudado.

Cache-aware development of high integrity real-time systems

description: Cost, performance and availability considerations are forcing even the most conservative high-integrity embedded real-time systems industry to migrate from simple hardware processors to ones equipped with caches and other acceleration features. This migration disrupts the practices and solutions that industry had developed and consolidated over the years to perform timing analysis. Industry that are confident with the efficiency/effectiveness of their verification and validation processes for old-generation processors, do not have sufficient insight on the effects of the migration to cache-equipped processors.
Caches are perceived as an additional source of complexity, which has potential for shattering the guarantees of cost- and schedule-constrained qualification of their systems. The current industrial approach to timing analysis is ill-equipped to cope with the variability incurred by caches. Conversely, the application of advanced WCET analysis techniques on real-world industrial software, developed without analysability in mind, is hardly feasible. 
We propose a development approach aimed at minimising the cache jitters, as well as at enabling the application of advanced WCET analysis techniques to industrial systems. Our approach builds on:(i) identification of those software constructs that may impede or complicate timing analysis in industrial-scale systems; (ii) elaboration of practical means, under the model-driven engineering (MDE) paradigm, to enforce the automated generation of software that is analyzable by construction; (iii) implementation of a layout optimisation method to remove cache jitters stemming from the software layout in memory, with the intent of facilitating incremental software development, which is of high strategic interest to industry. The integration of those constituents in a structured approach to timing analysis achieves two interesting properties: the resulting software is analysable from the earliest releases onwards  - as opposed to becoming so only when the system is final - and more easily amenable to advanced timing analysis by construction, regardless of the system scale and complexity.
Status of the OPERA neutrino experiment

description: The OPERA long-baseline oscillation experiment is located in the underground Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy. OPERA has been designed to observe nu-mu -> nu-tau appearance in the CNGS nu-mu beam, 730 km away from its source at CERN. The apparatus consists of a large set of emulsion-lead targets combined with electronic detectors. First runs in 2007 and 2008 helped checking that detector and related emulsion facilities are fully operational and led to successful first analysis of collected data. The talk, after a short description of the OPERA setup, will present an updated status report on data reconstruction and analysis applied to present samples of neutrino events.
Relationship of dependency to work resumption of patients with myocardial infarction

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study involves an investigation of the relationship between dependency and work resumption of patients with myocardial infarction. In the process of studying this problem, information concerning the different levels of dependency during the convalescence through employment continuum v/as gathered. The purposes of the study are to add to the body of knowledge concerning the concept of dependency and to make nurses and other members of the health team aware of the implications of dependency behaviour in the process of resuming normal function of patients with myocardial infarction. Its long range purpose is to increase the sense of well-being and achieving of the patient with myocardial infarction by helping him resume his productive role, both through the help of members of the health team and members of his family. The study was planned to test the following hypotheses: 1. The employed patients with myocardial infarction will show lower dependency ratings than the unemployed patients in the Navran Dy Scale. 2. The employed patients with myocardial infarction will show progressive decrease in the D-I Scale dependency ratings along the convalescence to employment period continuum, while the unemployed patients with myocardial infarction will maintain a constant level of dependency ratings in the D-I Scale along the convalescence to employment period continuum. 3. Low trait dependents with myocardial infarction will show progressive decrease in the D-I Scale dependency ratings along the convalescence to employment period continuum, while high trait dependent patients with myocardial infarction will continue to show steady dependency ratings in the D-I Scale along the convalescence to employment period continuum. Two structured questionnaires were constructed following a review of the literature to obtain information regarding the research problem. The Navran Dy and the dependency portion of the D-I Scale were also administered. The study population consisted of 21 men. The study population was restricted to men who were confined in the hospital for their first myocardial infarction, who were 64 years of age or younger, who could read and write English, and who had been employed for the 6 months immediately prior to the confinement. Analysis of the data included Frequency tables, T test and the Two-Factor Analysis of Variance. The findings of the study showed that patients with myocardial infarction showed different degrees of dependency, both trait and state. The findings failed to support the three hypotheses even though during the data analysis of the individual hypothesis, the group means showed leaning towards the direction of the hypothesis. The study suggests that steps should be taken to make nurses and family more aware of the varying degrees of dependency in patients.

description: We report on the magnetic hyperthermia properties of chemically synthesized ferromagnetic 11 and 16 nm Fe(0) nanoparticles of cubic shape displaying the saturation magnetization of bulk iron. The specific absorption rate measured on 16 nm nanocubes is 1690+-160 W/g at 300 kHz and 66 mT. This corresponds to specific losses-per-cycle of 5.6 mJ/g, largely exceeding the ones reported in other systems. A way to quantify the degree of optimization of any system with respect to hyperthermia applications is proposed. Applied here, this method shows that our nanoparticles are not fully optimized, probably due to the strong influence of magnetic interactions on their magnetic response. Once protected from oxidation and further optimized, such nano-objects could constitute efficient magnetic cores for biomedical applications requiring very large heating power.
