    Aerodynamic data for the DFVLR R4 airfoil are presented in both graphic and tabular form. The R4 was tested in the Langley 0.3-Meter Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel (TCT) at Mach number from 0.60 to 0.78 at angles of attack from -2.0 to 8.0 degrees. The airfoil was tested at Reynolds numbers of 4, 6, 10, 15, 30, and 40 million based on the 152.32 mm chord

    Strategies enhancing the public health role of community pharmacists in the UK

    Introduction A number of UK studies have investigated the role of pharmacists in public health (Blenkinsopp, et al. 2002; Anderson and Blenkinsopp 2003; Agomo 2012a). However, many of these studies have also identified barriers in this public health role (Agomo 2012a; Agomo and Ogunleye 2014). My project aimed to identify strategies, which could enhance the public health role of community pharmacists in the UK. Method My project used a mixed methods approach, involving a content analysis of the UK undergraduate pharmacy curriculum, a descriptive survey of UK community pharmacists and interviews with healthcare practitioners to investigate strategies enhancing the public health role of community pharmacists in the UK. Results The majority of my survey respondents indicated that there was a need for pharmacists to work closely with other healthcare practitioners [93.1%, C.I. ±5.32]; pharmacy students to train with other healthcare students [81.4%, C.I. ±8.21]; students and pharmacists to be provided with advanced experience in public health [86.2%, C.I. ±7.24 and 89.8%, C.I. ±6.32 respectively]; as well as increasing the public health content of the undergraduate pharmacy curriculum [64.8%, C.I. ±9.97]. Respondents from Cardiff were more likely to participate in local authority-run schemes than other respondents (p < .001; η2 = .296). Male respondents were more likely to agree that 'insufficient funding from the government’ was a barrier to the public health role of community pharmacists [p = .011; ρ = -.269]. The findings of my interviews confirmed several aspects of my survey findings, particularly as regards accessibility, encouraging collaboration between pharmacists and other healthcare professionals, and tackling a number of barriers, such as the lack of awareness of the public health skills of pharmacists. There were some indications from my content analysis that the teaching of macro-level public health activities (such as epidemiology, assessment, pharmacovigilance, policy development and assurance at the population-based level) in most UK pharmacy schools was either minimal or lacking. Conclusion There is a need to enhance the public health role of community pharmacists in the UK. This will help make public health services more accessible to the public, reduce healthcare costs and pressures on other healthcare professionals, as well as helping to elevate the image of community pharmacists

    Matter manipulation with extreme terahertz light: Progress in the enabling THz technology

    Terahertz (THz) light has proven to be a fine tool to probe and control quasi-particles and collective excitations in solids, to drive phase transitions and associated changes in material properties, and to study rotations and vibrations in molecular systems. In contrast to visible light, which usually carries excessive photon energy for collective excitations in condensed matter systems, THz light allows for direct coupling to low-energy (meV scale) excitations of interest, The development of light sources of strong-field few-cycle THz pulses in the 2000s opened the door to controlled manipulation of reactions and processes. Such THz pulses can drive new dynamic states of matter, in which materials exhibit properties entirely different from that of the equilibrium. In this review, we first systematically analyze known studies on matter manipulation with strong-field few-cycle THz light and outline some anticipated new results. We focus on how properties of materials can be manipulated by driving the dynamics of different excitations and how molecules and particles can be controlled in useful ways by extreme THz light. Around 200 studies are examined, most of which were done during the last five years. Secondly, we discuss available and proposed sources of strong-field few-cycle THz pulses and their state-of-the-art operation parameters. Finally, we review current approaches to guiding, focusing, reshaping and diagnostics of THz pulses. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V

    Multiscale modeling of biological and soft matter

    Get PDF
    The large range of spatial and temporal scales inherent in biological and soft matter is a challenge to modeling. To understand the physics of a cell membrane, one needs to start from Ångström-sized atoms and their motions in the femtosecond range, and go all the way to whole cells, whose diameters can be tens of micrometers and lifetimes of the order of days. All these scales can neither be probed by a single experimental technique, nor modeled using one simulation approach. What is needed is a range of techniques. Describing matter by a hierarchy of computational models, systematically linking the models at lower resolution to those at higher resolution, is termed multiscale modeling. Depending on the phenomenon one wishes to study, one may choose atomic-level models and algorithms, opt for a simplified or coarse-grained description, or decide on a combination of these. The aim of this Thesis is to describe modeling at atomic scale and mesoscale, i.e., at scales in the range 1-1000 nm and 1-1000 ns. We also focus on the systematic linking; how to reduce the degrees of freedom in an atomic-scale model to arrive at a coarse-grained description. Further, use of hybrid models that combine atomic and coarse-grained descriptions is discussed. We approach multiscale modeling through examples from biological and soft matter physics. Atomic-scale modeling is illustrated through molecular dynamics simulations of phospholipid/cholesterol bilayers. The effect of cholesterol on the free volume, packing, and diffusive properties of bilayers is investigated. We then link the atomic-scale model to one allowing us to reach length scales significantly larger than those reached in current-day state-of-the-art atomic-level simulations: the new model offers an eight-order-of-magnitude speed-up, enabling us to study the lateral structure of bilayers at length scales up to hundreds of nanometers at a modest computational cost. The simulation results point at the existence of cholesterol-rich domains with sizes in the ten-nanometer-range. From membrane systems we move to the realm of complex fluids. We use polymer chains and colloids in solution as examples of systems where hybrid models should be used. The solutes are modeled in microscopic detail, while the solvent is coarse-grained. The solvent model is cost-effective, yet correctly describes the hydrodynamic interactions between the solute particles. Using these models we are able to resolve a long-standing debate about dynamic scaling of two-dimensional polymers in solution, and obtain interesting results for collective diffusion in colloidal suspensions.reviewe
