description: Schulleitungen spielen eine grosse Rolle für die Organisation und Entwicklung von Schulen. Gleichzeitig gibt es kaum gesicherte Erkenntnisse aus grossflächigen Erhebungen in der Schweiz zu dieser zentralen Position. Daher wurde der Schulleitungsmonitor Schweiz ins Leben gerufen. Der Schulleitungsmonitor Schweiz ist ein Kooperationsprojekt vom VSLCH, CLACESO und der PH FHNW, welches von der HEP Vaud unterstützt wird. Ziel ist es, Erkenntnisse über die Tätigkeiten von Schulleitungen sowie ihre Motivation und relevante Rahmenbedingungen bereitzustellen und Orientierungen für die mögliche künftige Entwicklung, Qualifikation und Professionalisierung schulischer Führungskräfte zu bieten. Der hier vorlegende Kurzbericht legt den Fokus auf die Arbeitssituation, das Weiterbildungsverhalten und die Nutzung verschiedener Wissensarten von Schulleitungen.

description: Government organisations compile mineral resource data for national resource accounting. The information is collected and used in research, planning of mineral exploration, and in decision making on national and EU level mineral policies. The data are a combination of publicly disclosed information from active and non-active projects and historical mineral inventories, at extremely variable degree of data density. The databases contain both commercially viable resources and commodity endowments without consideration of economic viability in foreseeable future. Only the former can be reported according to current industrial standards as required by stock exchanges. A harmonised way to describe all resource data is the United Nations Framework Classification (UNFC) resources reporting code which reflects the geological uncertainty and the different project maturity levels. The UNFC code allows also for resource classes where the data density is low and no technical, environmental, social nor economic viability are assessed. To achieve a coherent and consistent resource aggregation within and across countries, to support the activities to secure future sustainable raw material supply and sustainable resource management, it is necessary that: 1) the UNFC classification is used in systematic and transparent way within all countries, and 2) there is a common agreement on principles of how to move forward in national-level aggregations in systematic and harmonized way. We see that the key issues are in dealing with data gaps and inconsistent application of the UNFC code. We aim to provide solutions in various cases with data gaps, and where we have seen non-consistency appearing.

title: The Aero-Thermal Impact of Rim Seal Purge Flow in Axial Turbines
Creators: name: Ostrowski, Tom
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: The area between the stationary and rotating hub side endwall segments in axial turbines is featured with a specifically shaped annular clearance, termed as the rim seal. For the safe and reliable operation of a gas turbine, this seal depicts a pivotal component. The main design intent is to avoid the ingress of hot main flow to the vulnerable wheel-spaces in the inside of the turbine. To guarantee sealing, the internal cavities are permanently supplied with pressurized air. Termed as rim seal purge flow, a specific fraction is continuously passing the seal, before it is mixed with the main flow. It is known, that rotating large scale instabilities in the rim seal region can effect or even dominate the spatio-temporal character of the flow field in the adjacent blade rows. Being superimposed by the unsteady stator-rotor interaction, appropriate test environments need to account for this multi-dimensional interdependency. In a large scale, rotating turbine test facility, the model of a high pressure axial turbine stage is experimentally investigated. The flow characteristic in the seal region is altered by adjusting the purge flow mass fraction. In the scope of this work, experimentally determined flow quantities in the stator-rotor interface, the seal and the rotating blade row are combined with unsteady, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics targeting the deviation of the spatio-temporal characteristic of the rim seal purge flow. The numerical setup represents a sixty degree sector of the stage including the seal and sub-cavity. The calculations are initiated with experimentally determined flow data at the boundaries. For validation, results are spot checked with selected unsteady experimental flow data. To globally rate the effect of the purge flow, a framework of one-dimensional performance parameters is presented, in which a thermodynamically sound definition of the ideal reference process accounts for the unavoidable entropy of mixing. By increasing the dimensions considered, the spatio-temporal description of the stage is first introduced at mid-span. Visualizing the three-dimensional distribution of vortical structures, the spatio-temporal character of the interaction of main and purge flow is finally introduced.

description: We suggest that the J/psi phi structures observed by LHCb can be fitted in two tetraquak multiplets, the S-wave ground state and the first radial excitation, with composition [cs][cbar sbar]. When compared to the previously identified [cq][cbar qbar] multiplet, the observed masses agree with what expected for a multiplet with q -->s. We propose the X(4274), fitted by LHCb with a single 1^++ resonance, to correspond rather to two, almost degenerate, unresolved lines with J^PC = 0^++, 2^++. Masses of missing particles in the 1S and 2S multiplets are predicted.

description: A series of liquid crystal elastomer films (the PBC series) have been synthesized by grafting liquid crystal (LC) monomer 4-allyloxybenzoic acid cholesteryl ester (MB) and crosslinking agent [1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl bis(undec-10-enoate) (MC) onto polymethylhydrosiloxane catalyzed by hexachloroplatinic acid at 60 °C. The PBC series are cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the PBC series are between 23-33 °C, and the LC range is above 200 °C. The temperatures of 5% weight loss of the PBC series are above 300 °C, which shows good thermal stability. The PBC series display good orientation. PB3C3 shows a good ability of shape recovery above Tg.

description: Silicon photonics promises to address the challenges for next-generation short-reach optical interconnects. Growing bandwidth demand in hyper-scale data centers and high-performance computing motivates the development of faster and more-efficient silicon photonics links. While it is challenging to raise the serial line rate, further scaling of the data rate can be realized by, for example, increasing the number of parallel fibers, increasing the number of wavelengths per fiber, and using multi-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM). Among these approaches, PAM has a unique advantage because it does not require extra lasers or a costly overhaul of optical fiber cablings within the existing infrastructure. Here, we demonstrate the first fully monolithically integrated silicon photonic four-level PAM (PAM-4) transmitter operating at 56 Gb/s and demonstrate error-free transmission (bit-error-rate < 10$^{-12}$) up to 50 Gb/s without forward error correction. The superior PAM-4 waveform is enabled by optimization of silicon traveling wave modulators and monolithic integration of the CMOS driver circuits. Our results show that monolithic silicon photonics technology is a promising platform for future ultrahigh data rate optical interconnects.

description: The drying of a drop containing particles often results in the accumulation of the particles at the contact line. In this work, we investigate the drying of an aqueous colloidal drop surrounded by a hydrogel that is also evaporating. We combine theoretical and experimental studies to understand how the surrounding vapor concentration affects the particle deposit during the constant radius evaporation mode. In addition to the common case of evaporation on an otherwise dry surface, we show that in a configuration where liquid is evaporating from a flat surface around the drop, the singularity of the evaporative flux at the contact line is suppressed and the drop evaporation is homogeneous. For both conditions, we derive the velocity field and we establish the temporal evolution of the number of particles accumulated at the contact line. We predict the growth dynamics of the stain and the drying timescales. Thus, dry and wet conditions are compared with experimental results and we highlight that only the dynamics is modified by the evaporation conditions, not the final accumulation at the contact line.

description: Binary star systems are important for understanding stellar structure and evolution, and are especially useful when oscillations can be detected and analysed with asteroseismology. However, only four systems are known in which solar-like oscillations are detected in both components. Here, we analyse the fifth such system, HD 176465, which was observed by Kepler. We carefully analysed the system's power spectrum to measure individual mode frequencies, adapting our methods where necessary to accommodate the fact that both stars oscillate in a similar frequency range. We also modelled the two stars independently by fitting stellar models to the frequencies and complementary parameters. We are able to cleanly separate the oscillation modes in both systems. The stellar models produce compatible ages and initial compositions for the stars, as is expected from their common and contemporaneous origin. Combining the individual ages, the system is about 3.0$\pm$0.5 Gyr old. The two components of HD 176465 are young physically-similar oscillating solar analogues, the first such system to be found, and provide important constraints for stellar evolution and asteroseismology.

Creators: name: Dembi, Rediet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This study was carried out to assess the challenges and prospects of implementing reverse logistics in EPHARM Share Company. The population of study consisted of 32 respondents from marketing and sales, finance and technical/production departments. The objectives of study were to assess the practice of reverse logistics in EPHARM, identify the challenges involved in implementing reverse logistics in EPHARM, identify the possible opportunities of implementing reverse logistics in EPHARM and forward possible policy implications and recommendations. The research design was a descriptive research design. Data was collected using questionnaires administered through drop and pick later method. Twenty seven questionnaires were returned, representing 84% response rate. Mean scores, standard deviations and percentages were the outputs of the objectives. The findings came up with a conclusion that EPHARM Share Company has adopted reverse logistics practices with reuse and disposal being predominant although they face challenges that need to be addressed in order to further increase efficiency. The findings also showed that implementing reverse logistics plays a great role on the economic, market and mostly green image of the company. The study recommends that EPHARM should invest in appropriate technology for reverse logistics and have detailed and modern disposition strategies for their returned products, work hand in hand with distributers to reduce the rate of return, train high level managers to give emphasis to the matter so as to improve efficiency and productivity of the reverse logistics processes

description: We report the results of $γ_{\rm dir}$ and $π^{0}$-hadron azimuthal correlations as a measure of the away-side jet-like correlated yields in central Au+Au and p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$=200 GeV in the STAR experiment. The charged-hadron per-trigger yields at mid-rapidity with respect to high-$p_{T}$ $γ_{\rm dir}$ and $π^{0}$ in central Au+Au collisions are compared with p+p collisions. Within uncertainties, the same $z_{T}$ (~$p_{T}^{\mathrm{assoc}}$ / $p_{T}^{\mathrm{trig}}$) dependence of the suppression is observed for $γ_{\rm dir}$ and $π^{0}$ - triggers. The results are compared with energy-loss model predictions. The $γ-\rm jet$ measurements can provide further understanding on the redistribution of in-medium energy loss. Ongoing $γ-\rm jet$ studies in the STAR experiment are also discussed.

Year: 2022

description: This deliverable focuses on the process of developing a usable, accessible, and participatory digital platform that allows consortium partners and eventually a larger audience of participants to autonomously create and engage in digital collaborations and processes to forward the InDICEs agenda. In previous deliverables there has been extensive description of the partners on boarding journeys that has enabled them to assume administrative responsibilities and tasks as well as how outside cultural, heritage communities have been incorporated onto the platform. Therefore, this deliverable will explore more of the technical developments and adaptations to innovate the Decidim platform and the process to engage partners in driving the design. For example, salient features that make this platform unique are the Self Assessment Tool (SAT), the exploration of participatory research, and the implementation of webLyzard technology (WLT) widgets. All of these features have prominently involved partners in the conceptualization, design, and development and this deliverable will discuss how partners have been integrated so that the platform reflects the collective force of the consortium partners. Finally, this deliverable will also explore the customizations, use of Github in the development of the project and the road ahead for 2021. Ultimately, this deliverable aims to highlight the progress towards developing a free and open digital platform for participatory engagement that is practiced in not just the execution but also in the collaborative design of the platform and its tools and resources.

description: Nowadays is very common to find headlines in the media where it is stated that 3D printing is a technology called to change our lives in the near future. For many authors, we are living in times of a third industrial revolution. Howerver, we are currently in a stage of development where the use of 3D printing is advantageous over other manufacturing technologies only in rare scenarios. Fortunately, scientific research is one of them. Here we present the development of a set of opto-mechanical components that can be built easily using a 3D printer based on Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and parts that can be found on any hardware store. The components of the set presented here are highly customizable, low-cost, require a short time to be fabricated and offer a performance that compares favorably with respect to low-end commercial alternatives.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Ethiopia is building a modern and reliable railway transportation industry to fulfill the needs of transportation system, in which one of the main considerations in building the railway transportation system is safety of the passenger and driver's crew. This thesis will attempt to redesign and improve the railway vehicle end protection, for the safety of passenger and drivers crew. General existing vehicle end protection design has been reviewed to identify candidate equipment for the passenger cab. This review shows that the use of shear bolts is the most common approach to pushback coupler trigger mechanism. Ribbed anti-climbers are the most common approach in providing the interlock between colliding vehicles in the event of collision. The passenger vehicle end protection system includes pushback coupler, energy absorber and anti climber. Pushback mechanism triggered by shear bolt shear mechanism. Energy absorber is used to absorb energy that developed during collision and anti-climber is used to prevent the vehicle overriding or climbing during collision scenario. The entire structure of design is designed to withstand a vertical load of 890 KN before and during crushing scenario. The entire system absorbs energy up to 3.4 KJ. The evaluation and comparison of the vehicle end protection show that the design satisfies collision requirement. The result from the answer shows that the new designs for the vehicle end protection have better strength to withstand the load during crushing scenario. Finally, the thesis recommends that tests should be carried out in future to verify and this thesis.

description: Recent results suggest that biometric identification based on human's eye movement characteristics can be used for authentication. In this paper, we present three new methods and benchmark them against the state-of-the-art. The best of our new methods improves the state-of-the-art performance by 5.2 percentage points. Furthermore, we investigate some of the factors that affect the robustness of the recognition rate of different classifiers on gaze trajectories, such as the type of stimulus and the tracking trajectory length. We find that the state-of-the-art method only works well when using the same stimulus for testing that was used for training. By contrast, our novel method more than doubles the identification accuracy for these transfer cases. Furthermore, we find that with only 90 seconds of eye tracking data, 86.7% accuracy can be achieved.

description: We calculate the reflection and transmission probabilities in a one-dimensional Fermi gas with an equal mixing of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling (RD-SOC) produced by an external Raman laser field. These probabilities are computed over multiple relevant energy ranges within the pseudo-potential approximation. Strong scattering resonances are found whenever the incident energy approaches either a scattering threshold or a quasi-bound state attached to one of the energetically closed higher dispersion branches. A striking difference is demonstrated between two very different regimes set by the Raman laser intensity, namely between scattering for the single- minimum dispersion versus the double-minimum dispersion at the lowest threshold. The presence of RD-SOC together with the Raman field fundamentally changes the scattering behavior and enables the realization of very different one-dimensional theoretical models in a single experimental setup when combined with a confinement-induced resonance.

Anhand von Erwerbsverläufen von geringqualifizierten Arbeitskräften in der Schweiz untersucht dieser Beitrag Beschäftigungsfähigkeit als dynamische Wechselwirkung zwischen Orientie-rungen und Erwerbshandeln des Subjekts und institutionellen Regulierungen und Praktiken von Betrieben, Branchen und Sozialstaat. Die Analyse beruht auf qualitativen Interviews mit Arbeitskräften, Betrieben und Personalvermittlern. Die Mehrheit der befragten Arbeitskräfte war ein- oder mehrmals arbeitslos, aber nur ein Drittel der Erwerbsverläufe war insgesamt prekär. Vielmehr waren stabile Verläufe am häufigsten und es gab auch Aufstiegskarrieren. Branche, betriebliche Personalstrategien und außerberufliche Faktoren erwiesen sich als ebenso entscheidend für die die Beschäftigungsfähigkeit wie individuelles Erwerbshandeln und Bildungsbemühungen.

description: Electric resistance in conducting media is related to heat (or entropy) production in presence of electric fields. In this paper, by using Araki's relative entropy for states, we mathematically define and analyze the heat production of free fermions within external potentials. More precisely, we investigate the heat production of the non-autonomous C*-dynamical system obtained from the fermionic second quantization of a discrete Schrödinger operator with bounded static potential in presence of an electric field that is time- and space-dependent. It is a first preliminary step towards a mathematical description of transport properties of fermions from thermal considerations. This program will be carried out in several papers. The regime of small and slowly varying in space electric fields is important in this context, and is studied the present paper. We use tree-decay bounds of the $n$-point, $n\in 2\mathbb{N}$, correlations of the many-fermion system to analyze this regime. We verify below the 1st law of thermodynamics for the system under consideration. The latter implies, for systems doing no work, that the heat produced by the electromagnetic field is exactly the increase of the internal energy resulting from the modification of the (infinite volume) state of the fermion system. The identification of heat production with an energy increment is, among other things, technically convenient. We initially focus our study on non-interacting (or free) fermions, but our approach will be later applied to weakly interacting fermions.

For a $10 M_\odot$ black hole the minimal magnetic flux is $10^{24}(\dot M/\dot M_{\rm Edd})^{20/21}\,\rm G\cdot cm^{2}$. This amount is compared with the amount of uniform magnetic flux that can be provided by the companion star -- estimated to be in the range $10^{22}-10^{24}\,\rm G\cdot cm^2$. If accretion rate is large enough, the companion is not able to provide the required amount and such a system, if still sub-Eddington, must be thermally unstable. The peculiar variability of GRS 1915+105, an X-ray binary with the exceptionally high BH mass and near-Eddington luminosity, may result from the shortage of large scale poloidal field of uniform polarity.

description: Background: First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly fallen ill. It includes self-help and home care if medical assistance is not available or is delayed. Injuries are very common now a day and can occur at any point of time in day to day life. Among them, injuries in school children rank a major part. This study will contribute to identify the gap on Knowledge, attitude and practice of first aid among kindergarten schools of Lideta Sub City in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Objective: - To assess knowledge, attitude and practice of first aid among kindergarten teachers in Lideta Sub City, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2016. Method: - A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted from February to March 2016 in kindergarten teachers of Lideta Sub City in Addis Ababa City. The study was conducted on 204 samples from 23 selected kindergarten schools.Data was collected by using pretested, structured self-administer questionnaire consisting knowledge, attitude and practice questions.Binary and multiple logistic regression analysis were used using SPSS version 23. Result: - None of the surveyed employees answered all questions correctly; only 77 (39.7%) individuals achieved mean and above mean for knowledge questions for common injuries. The relative number of correct answers to specific questions ranged from 35.6% to 50.5%. Out of all respondents, 155(79.9%) had faced the child in need of first aid and 139 (89.7%) of them had given first aid for different common injuries. Most employees agreed that giving first aid was helpful and the vast majority felt that it was important and useful for them to learn pediatric first aid. A multiple linear regression analysis showed scores were significantly higher among teachers with service year of more than ten years, those who had received first aid training before and private school teachers. Conclusion and recommendation: The level of first-aid knowledge among kindergarten teachers in Lideta Sub-City, Addis Ababa was low. There is an urgent need to educate teachers regarding first aid practices and the various risk factors relating to specific injuries. Key word: first aid, KAP, kindergarten, teachers, Lideta sub city
Design of Prestressed Concrete Sleeper Based on Ultimate Limit State Approach

description: Railway prestressed concrete sleepers are amongst the vital components of the rail track superstructure, and play significant role in providing integrity, and safe operation of the tracks. Due to the combined effect of the weight burden from the train, and the dynamic load as a result of the train motion, sleepers are subjected to both static and dynamic loading conditions. To achieve the desired service life of railway system, sleepers can be designed to carry and transfer the wheel loads from the rails to the track foundation. Current design philosophy for prestressed concrete sleeper is based on permissible stress principle taking into account only the static and quasi-static loads, which are unrealistic to the actual dynamic loads on tracks. However, there still shortcomings when viewed from the limit state design perspective. Henceforth, limit state function needs to be included in the current design approach as an improvement. There is a need to improve the current understanding of the design of prestressed concrete sleepers by reliability based design method by formulating limit state function. The limit state function depends on reliability index, and load and resistance factors determined through calibration based on available statistical or scholastic data. This paper, tries to follow the ultimate limit state design approach for axial, flexure, and shear design of sleeper by taking into account the compressive and tensile stresses at both initial and final stages of concrete and prestress wires.

description: Photocatalytic hydrogen atom transfer is a very powerful strategy for the regioselective C(sp3)–H functionalization of organic molecules. Herein, we report on the unprecedented combination of decatungstate hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysis with the oxidative radical–polar crossover concept to access the direct net-oxidative C(sp3)–H heteroarylation. The present methodology demonstrates a high functional group tolerance (40 examples) and is scalable when using continuous-flow reactor technology. The developed protocol is also amenable to the late-stage functionalization of biologically relevant molecules such as stanozolol, (−)-ambroxide, podophyllotoxin, and dideoxyribose.

Worm-like instability of a vibrated sessile drop

description: We study the effects of vertical sinusoidal vibrations on a liquid droplet with a low surface tension (ethanol) deposited on a solid substrate. In a precise range of amplitudes and frequencies, the drop exhibits a dramatic worm-like shape instability with a strong symmetry breaking, comparable to the one observed by Pucci et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett., 106 (2011) 024503) on a vibrated floating lens. However, the geometry of our system is much simpler since it does not involve the oscillation and deformation of a liquid-liquid-air contact line. We show that the Faraday waves appearing on the surface of the droplet control its shape and we draw a systematic phase diagram of the instability. A simple theoretical model allows us to derive a relation between the elongation of the droplet and the amplitude of the Faraday wave, in good agreement with measurements of both quantities.

description: and Kenya, are estimated to directly or indirectly depend on several ecosystem services of the BER. However, BER is degraded and eco-system functions in the eco-region are extremely disturbed. To reverse these problems interventions such as reforestation/aforestation, SWC, exclosure, etc are needed. Valuing alternative resource management practices in the BER can be important to maintain eco-system health and functions in the BER. Overall, analyzing preferences of community who uses ecosystem services of BER can greatly inform efforts to bring unsustainable resource use under control in BER. This study analyzed the preferences of community in the BER for improved ecosystem benefits of the eco-region and estimates their Willingness to Pay (WTP) for selected attributes using a choice modeling approach. Mixed logit models were estimated as analytical tools. The study is based on household level data collected in 2016 from 200 randomly drawn households living in midland (Kumbi kebele) and lowland (Melka Arba) of Harena Buluk woreda, Bale zone. Results from reforestation and exclosure attributes revealed both midland and lowland community are WTP considerable amount of money for eco-system service improvement. Midland respondents Marginal Willingness To Pay(MWTP) for improvement on soil erosion, CO2 storage and non-timber forest product were 34.45, 32.62 and 31.59 ETB per year respectively, whereas lowland respondents MWTP to reduce soil erosion, to improve biodiversity enrichment, livestock feed availability and exclosure with watering points were 24.20, 16.60, 280 and 129 ETB per year respectively. The compensating surplus, which reflect the overall WTP of respondents for changes from the status quo to alternative improved scenarios show that midland communities' average WTP for reforestation characteristics were 3053($145.38), 2516($119.83) and 1827($87) ETB/year for higher, medium and low impact improvement scenario and lowland respondents mean WTP for exclosure characteristics were 882($42), 1558($74.19), and 2383($113) ETB annually for low , medium and high impact improvement scenarios respectively. Since we were not confident with the value of MWTP and compensating surplus estimated from insignificant payment level, we didn't report their value in this study. Management strategies that fully involve local communities at all stages of implementation, starting from preferred attributes selection, may help development planners and practitioners to address the problems associated to ecosystems.

description: Small angle neutron inelastic scattering measurement has been performed to study the magnon dispersion relation in the field-induced-ferromagnetic phase of the noncentrosymmetric binary compound MnSi. For the magnons propagating parallel or anti-parallel to the external magnetic field, we experimentally confirmed that the dispersion relation is asymmetrically shifted along the magnetic field direction. This magnon dispersion shift is attributed to the relativistic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, which is finite in noncentrosymmetric magnets, such as MnSi. The shift direction is found to be switchable by reversing the external magnetic field direction.
