Experimental Studies of Thin Tellurium Films
Creators: name: Swan, Ronnie
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1992

description: This thesis is concerned with the fabrication and characterisation of thin tellurium films on 7059 corning glass substrates under ultra high vacuum conditions deposited at 125 K and 300 K. Electrical measurements were performed on sandwich metal\Te\metal configurations in situ under ultra high vacuum conditions and in a separate vacuum system. 
De conduction is found to be ohmic at low applied electric fields for current below about 3mA. This conduction regime changed to a space charge limited mechanism at high fields (typically above 106 V/cm). Space charge limited currents showed the existence of a fast decaying density of trapping states in the energy gap. De conductance vs. temperature measurements revealed this energy gap to be 0.315 eV for 100 nm thick tellurium films. Samples have also shown a T1/4 law behaviour for temperatures between 77 K and 290 K. The density of conduction states at the Fermi level is found to be 2x10-22 ev/cm3, This value decreased upon annealing of the tellurium samples. 
Ac conductance measurements revealed the existence of transport by charge migration between potential wells associated with defect centres, giving an AwS relationship. Parameter s has been found to be temperature dependent with its gradient producing a value for the hopping barrier of 0.33 eV a value close to the bandgap of the tellurium. Ac conduction is due to bipolaron hopping. Optical absorption in 90 nm thick tellurium samples is due to direct transitions both allowed and forbidden, gives two absorption edges one at 4 eV and the other at about 0.5 eV for films deposited at 125 K and 300 K. Structural properties of Te films were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. Room temperature scanning electron microscope photographs revealed the smooth fine grained Gontinuous surface structure of the deposited films, Transmission electron microscopy uncovered the polycrystalline nature of the evaporated films showing quite visible grain boundaries at room temperature. Electron diffraction patterns further verified the polycrystalline composition of the tellurium samples investigated.

description: Arm cycling is a rhythmic locomotor output which has a wide range of use both in clinical and for research purposes. In most cases, asynchronous arm cycling mode is usually used. In recent researches, there are direct and indirect evidences to show that arm cycling, like other forms of human locomotor output, is produced by supraspinal inputs, spinally located specialized set of neurons called the central pattern generators (CPGs) and somatosensory inputs. The excitability of the corticospinal tract during arm cycling has been investigated when there are changes in cadence and load, but none has investigated corticospinal excitability during asynchronous and synchronous arm cycling. Given that corticospinal excitability has been shown to be task dependent, there is possibility that neural control mechanisms during asynchronous arm cycling might not be the same during synchronous arm cycling. Also, previous experimental researches done in rhythmic non-locomotor output have hinted that rhythmic movement might be biased towards the synchronous mode as cadence or frequency of movement increases. Hence, the primary aim of this research is to investigate changes in corticospinal excitability during asynchronous and synchronous arm cycling at different cycling cadences.

description: Introduction: In a previous study consensus was sought from Malaysian occupational therapists of occupation-based intervention (OBI) that was perceived as a means and an end. Occupation as a means refers to occupational and purposeful tasks as a therapeutic agent while occupation as an end refers to occupation as an outcome of intervention. The purpose of this follow-up study was to describe the occupational therapists’ experiences of providing OBI in hand injury rehabilitation in Malaysia. Methods: Sixteen occupational therapists with more than five years of experience in hand rehabilitation were individually interviewed on their experiences of using OBI in practice. Data were thematically analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: Definition of “Occupation as a means”, and “Occupation as an end” was broadened after data analysis of interviews to include two new themes: “Rewarding yet challenging” and “Making OBI a reality”. Occupational therapists had positive experiences with OBI and perceived that occupation as a means and an end can be merged into a single therapy session when the occupational therapists use an occupation that is therapeutic. Conclusion: Although occupation as a means and as an end have different purposes, when the ultimate goal is to enhance the clients’ maximum level of functioning both can be used for successful rehabilitation of hand injuries.

description: Modern humans originated in Africa ~200-300,000 years ago (ka) during the Middle Stone Age (MSA; ~320-45 ka), and during this period developed complex foraging behaviors that facilitated their later expansion out of Africa and across the world. Studying early human behavior in the MSA is therefore critical to understanding how modern humans adapted to diverse environments and refining current models of human dispersal out of Africa. Previous work has provided valuable insight into MSA behaviors, but important questions remain, and additional data from sites sampling diverse habitats are necessary to understand the full range of MSA behavioral variability and test hypotheses about late Pleistocene human behavioral evolution and dispersal. This dissertation uses faunal remains from SM1 (> 40-60 ka), an open-air site located in NW Ethiopia, to investigate human behavior during the late MSA. Ongoing excavations at SM1 have recovered thousands of lithics and faunal remains deposited over multiple seasons of occupation at a time when seasonality and aridity in the region were at least as extreme as today. Zooarchaeological and taphonomic analyses make it possible to reconstruct site formation processes and human foraging behavior, and document diverse terrestrial vertebrates, fish, and mollusks at the site. Taxa present include bovids, suids, primates, hares, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and birds, as well as multiple families of catfish, and several cyprinid and cichlid fish genera. Taphonomic analyses document abundant evidence for human accumulation of terrestrial fauna and fish, and moderate damage by non-human agents and processes. Results indicate that foraging behavior was seasonally structured, with an emphasis on hunting small-to-medium-sized terrestrial prey and regular fishing and aquatic foraging during the dry season. Comparative data from MSA sites in Ethiopia, Morocco, and South Africa indicate that taphonomic signatures from SM1 are most similar to other open-air sites, and quite different from cave sites, and suggest caution when interpreting human behavior at open-air sites based on criteria derived largely from caves. Results offer valuable insight into late MSA human behavior in this understudied region of the Horn of Africa, and provide a taphonomic baseline for future studies of open-air MSA sites in Africa

description: The role of fossils fuels in national economies will change radically over the next 40 years under a strong climate regime. However, capturing this changing role through national-based analyses is challenging due to the global nature of fossil fuel demand and resulting trade patterns. This article sets out the limitations of existing national-scale decarbonization analyses in adequately capturing global conditions and explores how the introduction of a global modelling framework could provide vital insights, particularly for those countries that are dependent on fossil fuel exports or imports. The article shows that fossil fuel use will significantly decline by 2050, although gas will have an important transition role. This leaves large fossil fuel exporters exposed, the extent of which is determined by mitigation action in different regions and especially by the pathways adopted by the larger Asian economies. We find that global-scale models provide critical insights that complement the more detailed national analyses and should play a stronger role in informing deep decarbonization pathways (DDPs). They also provide an important basis for exploring key uncertainties around technology uptake, mitigation rates and how this plays out in the demand for fossil fuels. However, use of global models also calls for improved representation of country specifics in global models, which can oversimplify national economic and political realities. Using both model scales provides important insights that are complementary but that can challenge the other’s orthodoxy. However, neither can replace the other’s strengths. Policy relevance: In recent years, how global fossil fuel markets will evolve under different climate regimes has been subject to much debate and analysis. This debate includes whether investments in fossil fuel production still make sense or will be exposed in the future to liabilities associated with high carbon prices. This is important for governments who need to develop coherent policy in relation to fossil fuel sectors and their role as drivers of economic growth and in providing for domestic energy needs. This article argues that national analyses need to be fully cognizant of the global-scale transition, which can be informed by using a multi-scale modelling approach.

description: The universalization of social media and digital documents led to the swift advancement of multilinguistic data accessible on the web. Nevertheless, this enormous quantity of data could not be assessed physically. The present work addresses Cross-Language Text Summarization (CLTS) that creates a summary in a disparate language out of the source documents. CLTS’s task concentrates upon creating a summary in a target language (TL) (e.g., Japanese) for a provided document array in a disparate source language (e.g., English). The encoder-decoder paradigm remains comprehensively employed in CLTS study. Soft attention will be employed for attaining the necessary contextual semantic data when performing the decoding. Nevertheless, because of the deficit of accessibility to the primary features, the produced summary diverges out of the main content. The present work proposes a novel architecture to discuss the job by the excerption of several summaries within the TL by Double Attention Mechanism and Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (DAM_Bi-LSTM) networks, which can extract relevant cross-language keywords better and reduce the problem of unfamiliar words within the process of summary generation for optimizing the data of the CLTS. In the Attention Pointer Network, the self-attention mechanism gathers principal data out of the encoder, and the soft attention and the pointer network produce extra clear summaries. Additionally, the optimized coverage mechanism will be used for dealing with the reiteration issue and optimizing the generated summaries’ quality. Consequently, the proffered DAM_BiLSTM attains 24% in rouge-1, 20% in rouge-2, 40% in rouge-L, 92.6% of accuracy, 80.6% of precision, 74.6% of recall, and 86.8% of F1-score.

description: Emissions from the production of iron and steel could constitute a significant share of a 2°C global emissions budget (around 19% under the IEA 2DS scenario). They need to be reduced, and this could be difficult under nationally based climate policy approaches. We compare a new set of nationally based modelling (the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project) with best practice and technical limit benchmarks for iron and steel and cement emissions. We find that 2050 emissions from iron and steel and cement production represent an average 0.28 tCO2 per capita in nationally based modelling results, very close to the technical limit benchmark of 0.21 tCO2 per capita, and over 2.5 times lower than the best practice benchmark of 0.72 tCO2 per capita. This suggests that national projections may be overly optimistic about achievable emissions reductions in the absence of global carbon pricing and an international research and development effort to develop low emissions technologies for emissions-intensive products. We also find that equal per capita emissions targets, often the basis of proposals for how global emissions budgets should be allocated, would be inadequate without global emissions trading. These results show that a nationally based global climate policy framework, as has been confirmed in the Paris Agreement, could lead to risks of overshooting global emissions targets for some countries and carbon leakage. Tailored approaches such as border taxes, sectoral emissions trading or carbon taxes, and consumption-based carbon pricing can help, but each faces difficulties. Ultimately, global efforts are needed to improve technology and material efficiency in emissions-intensive commodities manufacturing and use. Those efforts could be supported by technology standards and a globally coordinated R&D effort, and strengthened by the adoption of global emissions budgets for emissions-intensive traded goods. Policy relevance This article presents new empirical findings on global iron and steel and cement production in a low-carbon world economy, demonstrates the risks associated with a nationally based global climate policy framework as has been confirmed in the Paris Agreement, and analyses policy options to deal with those risks.

description: This article investigates discrimination and the interplay of residential and ethnic stigma on the French housing market using two different methods, paired-testing au- dit study of real estate agencies and face-to-face interviews with real estate agents. The juxtaposition of their findings leads to a paradox: interviews reveal high levels of ethnic discrimination but little to none residential discrimination, while the audit study shows that living in deprived suburbs is associated with a lower probability of obtaining an appointment for a housing vacancy but ethnic origin (signaled by the candidate’s name) has no significant discriminatory effect. We have three priors po- tentially consistent with this apparent paradox and re-evaluate their likelihood in light of these findings: (i) agents make use of any statistical information about insolvency, including residency; (ii) there are two distinct and independent taste discriminations, one about space and one about ethnicity; (iii) these two dimensions exist and comple- ment each other.

description: Contrary to ‘static’ pathways that are defined once for all, this article deals with the need for policy makers to adopt a dynamic adaptive policy pathway for managing decarbonization over the period of implementation. When choosing a pathway as the most desirable option, it is important to keep in mind that each decarbonization option relies on the implementation of specific policies and instruments. Given structural, effectiveness, and timing uncertainties specific to each policy option, they may fail in delivering the expected outcomes in time. The possibility of diverging from an initial decarbonization trajectory to another one without incurring excessive costs should therefore be a strategic element in the design of an appropriate decarbonization strategy. The article relies on initial experiences in France and Germany on decarbonization planning and implementation to define elements for managing dynamic adjustment issues. Such an adaptive pathway strategy should combine long-lived incentives, like a pre-announced escalating carbon price, to form consistent expectations, as well as adaptive policies to improve overall robustness and resilience. We sketch key elements of a monitoring process based on an ex ante definition of leading indicators that should be assessed regularly and combined with signposts and trigger values at the subsector level. Policy relevance These research questions are of special interest and urgency following the Paris Agreement in 2015. It calls on all countries to monitor the implementation of their national contributions and review their ambition regularly. The regular revision of decarbonization pathways constitute a great research opportunity to gather experiences on decarbonization pathway implementation and on dynamic management issues to progress towards an operational dynamic adaptive policy pathway mechanism.

description: Cloning of coding sequence (CDS) is an important step for gene function research. Here, we reported a simple and efficient strategy for assembling multiple-exon into an intron-free CDS from genomic DNA (gDNA) by an isothermal recombination reaction-based PCR (IRR-PCR) method. As an example, a 2067-bp full-length CDS of the anther-specific expression gene OsABCG15, which is composed of seven exons and six introns, was generated by IRR-PCR using genomic DNA of rice leaf as the template. Actually, this approach can be wildly applied to any DNA sequences assembly to achieve CDS cloning, gene fusion and multiple site-directed mutagenesis in functional genomics studies in vitro.

description:  Employment protection (EPL) has a well know negative impact on labor flows as well as an ambiguous but often negative effect on employment. In contrast, its impact on capital accumulation and capital-labor ratio is less well understood. The available empirical evidence suggests a non-monotonic relation between capital-labor ratios and EPL: positive at very low levels of EPL, and the negative. We explore the theorical effects of EPL on physical capital in a model of a firm facing labor frictions. Under standard assumptions, theory always implies a motononic negative link between capital-labor ratios and EPL. For a positive link to arise, a very specific pattern of complementarity between capital and workers protected by EPL (senior workers as opposed to unprotected new entrants, or junior workers) has to be assumed. Further, no standard production technology is able to reproduce the inverted U shape pattern of the data.

description: The eurozone crisis has altered the party political landscape across Europe. The most visible effect is the rise of challenger parties. The crisis not only caused economic hardship, but also placed considerable fiscal constraints upon a number of national governments. Many voters have reacted to this by turning their back on the traditional parties and opting instead for new, or reinvigorated, challenger parties that reject the mainstream consensus of austerity and European integration. This article argues that both sanctioning and selection mechanisms can help to explain this flight from the centre to challenger parties. First, voters who were economically adversely affected by the crisis punish mainstream parties both in government and in opposition by voting for challenger parties. Second, the choice of specific challenger party is shaped by preferences on three issues that directly flow from the euro crisis: EU integration, austerity and immigration. Analysing both aggregate-level and individual-level survey data from all 17 Western EU member states, this article finds strong support for both propositions and shows how the crisis has reshaped the nature of party competition in Europe.

description: This thesis is the study of the meanings attributed to the term museum, specifically by the Indigenous inhabitants of the Tiwi Islands (Melville and Bathurst Island) situated in the Northern Territory of Australia. This involved both examining the existing museum initiatives on the Islands, and those of the past and future. It also investigated how the Tiwi people related to, perceived and understood the term museum as a general concept or phenomenon. The aim of this research was to gain insight into the meaning of the term museum and its relevance to a particular Indigenous community. This involved documenting the history and present functions of the existing museums on the Islands and that of the past museum initiatives. Through an ethnographic research approach, involving an extended period of fieldwork, the way in which Tiwi people relate to their museums was documented. Through interviews and discussions with a diverse group of the population the meanings attached to these places and contrastingly the meaning attributed to the term museum also became known. In order to position this research within an academic context it was viewed as important to analyse the meanings that have been associated with the term museum throughout history. This involved a detailed review of the western museum phenomenon as well as reviewing literature concerned with their possible existence in traditional Indigenous cultural structures. The situation of Indigenous museum constructs in the Australian context was also analysed and the similarities and differences between these explored. It was found through the extensive literature review that there was a lack of research regarding the meanings Indigenous people associate with the term museum and a continuing confusion within all fields of the purpose, function, and meaning of a museum in differing contexts. This research concludes that the term museum is an unclear term both within academic literature as well as within the social and cultural environment of the Indigenous inhabitants of the Tiwi Islands. It was found that the term museum was intimately connected to Tiwi understandings of culture: the term museum was only discussed as a peripheral concept in discussions revolving around the strength, weakness, change, preservation and maintenance of cultural phenomenon. The physical form of a museum and associated issues of display were rarely discussed by the Tiwi community. The research found that the term museum for Tiwi people meant and was related to more than just the history and function of the existing museum initiatives on the Islands. The term museum was associated with ideas about the preservation and maintenance of culture, however people seemed unclear about how a museum would actually function.

description:  Le livre de Thomas Piketty, « Le capital au XXIème siècle », a entrainé un débat nourri, notamment concernant la hausse du ratio capital sur revenus qui serait portée par la bulle immobilière. Le présent article tente d’éclairer en trois points les modifications que la prise en compte de cette spécificité immobilière engendrerait en termes d’interprétation des inégalités de patrimoine. Dans un premier temps, il est remarqué qu’en remplaçant la valorisation de marché par une valorisation fondée sur les rendements du capital immobilier et en raisonnant en lignées héréditaires, les croissances des inégalités de patrimoine et de l’importance des héritages vis-à-vis des revenus sont confirmées voire renforcées. Dans un deuxième temps, le caractère éphémère du décrochage entre prix de l’immobilier et loyers est discuté en soulignant la possible pérennité de la trajectoire actuelle des prix immobiliers. Dans un troisième temps, en supposant cette trajectoire pérenne, il est expliqué comment la répartition des types de capital et les différences dans leur rendement peuvent conduire à un accroissement des inégalités de revenu.

description: Background: Phonological disorders are common in 3-year-olds born with cleft palate compared to non-cleft peers. However, published results have been based on small samples. The purpose was to expand the knowledge on phonology of Swedish-speaking 3-year-olds with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), treated with primary palatal closure in one or two stages. Methods: The phonology of 26 children with UCLP was assessed with percentage consonants correct adjusted for age (PCC-A) and number of consistent phonological simplification processes (NCP) at age 3. Fifteen of the children were treated with minimal incision technique in one stage (OS) at 13 months and 11 with a two-stage closure (TS) with soft palate repair at 4 months and hard palate repair at 12 months. Their results were compared and then merged with previously obtained data from 10 children treated with OS and nine children treated with TS. Finally, the merged results were compared with those of 20 peers without UCLP. Results: No significant differences between the first two groups were found. In the merged results, NCP in the OS group was significantly lower than in the TS group. The UCLP group displayed significantly poorer results on PCC-A and NCP than peers without UCLP. Conclusion: Surgical procedure did not have a clear impact on phonology at age 3 years. Since children with UCLP are at risk of having impaired phonology at age 3, the results confirm the necessity of having both a phonological and articulatory approach when assessing and treating children born with cleft palate.

description: Background: Long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs) have emerged as key elements in modulating gene expression in different biological contexts. Patients and methods: We used quantitative real-time PCR (Qpcr) to evaluate the expression of lncRNA-UCA1 and C-JUN in serum of 70 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 32 patients chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and 38 healthy subjects and their correlation with different clinicopathological factors. Results: The expression of lncRNA-UCA1 and C-JUN was positive in 91.4%HCC patients with strong discriminating power between HCC and healthy subjects and CHC patients as well. The median follow up period was 29 months. The survival analysis showed that both lncRNA-UCA1 and C-JUN were independent prognostic factors. Of note, we identified C-JUN expression changes consistent with the lncRNA-UCA1 target regulation. Conclusion: This information sheds light on the possible role of lncRNA-UCA1 and C-JUN mRNA as promising diagnostic and prognostic markers as well as potential therapeutic targets in HCC.
title: Filipinas dance their way to acceptance

description: The approximately 250 Philippines-born individuals on the Fraser Coast of Queensland are primarily a single gender population. I questioned why these Filipinas are maintaining some aspects of culture and not others. Language, food, religion and dance were singled out for special attention. The focus on dance was because of its public relations value, as well as a consideration of whether multicultural performances grants may be responsible for perpetuation of dances. The wide diversity in regional, educational and socioeconomic backgrounds of the women was examined. Organisations helping to maintain Filipino culture, and a new religious development, were observed. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 Filipinas in Maryborough and 30 in the neighbouring city of Hervey Bay. Five non-Filipino husbands, 16 children, two Filipino couples and one Filipino male were interviewed, as were people who are involved with Filipinos. This included multicultural workers, a Catholic priest and a politician. Participant observation included membership in Filipino organisations; attendance at events featuring Filipino performances and participation in social gatherings. The study found that despite the lack of Filipino males, the women are maintaining many cultural elements. They use Tagalog regularly among themselves, although they are generally failing to teach it to the children. Filipino foods are consumed daily, by most of the women, but not generally their families. Many Filipinas are involved in religious activities. Dances are frequently performed for the wider community—by women and some children—thus improving the Filipino image. it was concluded that the lack of adult males will limit the future retention of Filipino languages and food. Dances are likely to be maintained as long as there is broader community and government support. it was also concluded that government multicultural policy, the size of an ethnic community and its gender balance have an impact on cultural continuity and change.

description: Essential oils (EOs) extracted from Lavandula luisieri and Cymbopogon citratus were tested for their antifungal activity against ten clinical isolates of dermatophytes isolated from cases of tinea pedis. Inhibition of conidial germination and antifungal drug/EO combination assay were tested on two ATCC reference strains of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. EOs were characterised by high amount of oxygenated monoterpenes in their composition. Strong antifungal activity was observed for the majority of clinical strains, and fungicidal activity was demonstrated. Positive interaction between L. luisieri EO combined with terbinafine was observed against terbinafine-resistant strain (Tr ATCC MYA-4438). Significative reduction of the germination was observed above 100 μg mL−1. Both oils were safe to macrophage mammalian cells at tested concentration. This study describes the antifungal activity of L. luisieri and C. citratus EOs against dermatophytes, which could be useful in designing new formulations for topical treatments.

description: Dans cette contribution, nous essaierons de répondre à la question : quelle est la nécessité d’éclairages multiples sur les politiques publiques par différentes disciplines au sein des sciences humaines, c'est-à-dire l'interdisciplinarité ? Faut-il aller jusqu’à un effacement des frontières disciplinaires dans le cas de la transdisciplinarité? Cette question doit être posée car, s’il existe d’une part une littérature assez vaste sur l’évaluation et l’interdisciplinarité en dehors de la science économique, et d’autre part des méthodologies d’évaluation depuis longtemps développées au sein de la science économique, la science économique ne s’est pas réellement emparée de cette question de l'interdisciplinarité: elle semble déjà avoir suffisamment à faire avec la résolution des débats entre expériences contrôlées et estimations de modèles structurels.
