    Factorised Steady States in Mass Transport Models

    Get PDF
    We study a class of mass transport models where mass is transported in a preferred direction around a one-dimensional periodic lattice and is globally conserved. The model encompasses both discrete and continuous masses and parallel and random sequential dynamics and includes models such as the Zero-range process and Asymmetric random average process as special cases. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the steady state to factorise, which takes a rather simple form.Comment: 6 page

    Acceptability and facilitators of and barriers to point-of-care HIV testing in a homeless-focused service in Gloucestershire: a qualitative evaluation

    Get PDF
    Objectives: Late HIV diagnosis increases the risks of onward transmission, morbidity and mortality. Rapid point-of-care testing (POCT) reaches people who have never been tested and people living with HIV who are undiagnosed. This study explored the acceptability and feasibility of HIV POCT from the perspectives of service providers and users. // Methods: A pilot study introduced HIV POCT to one service in Gloucestershire, England. Eleven semi-structured interviews with service users and a focus group with three service providers were conducted. The Theoretical Framework of Acceptability and the Theoretical Domains Framework were used to design the topic guide and analysis. // Results: Acceptability of HIV POCT was high. Seven facilitators were identified (e.g. understanding the test purpose and process), alongside two potential barriers, one relevant to service providers and users (anxiety) and the other to service users (stigma). // Conclusions: To maximize the benefits of implementation of HIV POCT, health care providers require appropriate training and supervision to offer and administer POCT

    Structural stability of Fe5Si3 and Ni2Si studied by high-pressure x-ray diffraction and ab initio total-energy calculations

    Full text link
    We performed high-pressure angle dispersive x-ray diffraction measurements on Fe5Si3 and Ni2Si up to 75 GPa. Both materials were synthesized in bulk quantities via a solid-state reaction. In the pressure range covered by the experiments, no evidence of the occurrence of phase transitions was observed. On top of that, Fe5Si3 was found to compress isotropically, whereas an anisotropic compression was observed in Ni2Si. The linear incompressibility of Ni2Si along the c-axis is similar in magnitude to the linear incompressibility of diamond. This fact is related to the higher valence-electron charge density of Ni2Si along the c-axis. The observed anisotropic compression of Ni2Si is also related to the layered structure of Ni2Si where hexagonal layers of Ni2+ cations alternate with graphite-like layers formed by (NiSi)2- entities. The experimental results are supported by ab initio total-energy calculations carried out using density functional theory and the pseudopotential method. For Fe5Si3, the calculations also predicted a phase transition at 283 GPa from the hexagonal P63/mcm phase to the cubic structure adopted by Fe and Si in the garnet Fe5Si3O12. The room-temperature equations of state for Fe5Si3 and Ni2Si are also reported and a possible correlation between the bulk modulus of iron silicides and the coordination number of their minority element is discussed. Finally, we report novel descriptions of these structures, in particular of the predicted high-pressure phase of Fe5Si3 (the cation subarray in the garnet Fe5Si3O12), which can be derived from spinel Fe2SiO4 (Fe6Si3O12).Comment: 44 pages, 13 figures, 3 Table

    Analysis of the dyscalculia with the implementation of a design workshop in CATIA in a primary school in Puebla

    Full text link
    In a rural context primary school where a pilot program of full-time schools was promoted and taking into account the component of the new curricular autonomy model 2017. A design and automation workshop was implemented using CATIA software, with the aim of demonstrating that primary students can overcome deficiencies in mathematical skills such as dyscalculia. The workshop was conducted with ten students between six and twelve years' old who, due to their rural context, have little contact with technology. For the realization of this workshop, a survey was carried out for the parents and for the children where the full acceptance of the workshop was manifested. In the same way, the participation of the Technological University of Puebla (UTP) was carried out through mechatronic engineering, which was in charge of teaching the workshop, through the management according to the new educational model. The CATIA software visibly favored students' mathematical skills when designing a march, in addition to reducing school absenteeism and generating a product (wooden tractor) that has more significant benefits than the famous Japanese toy. The evaluation of the project was registered in rubrics in a span of three phases. The end of the whole process we concluded that, due to its low cost, it is possible to implement this workshop in all federal and state primaries regardless of their context and also that any child can operate the calculation using CATIA. With this last observation, we demonstrate that dyscalculia is a myth

    A real-space, rela-time method for the dielectric function

    Full text link
    We present an algorithm to calculate the linear response of periodic systems in the time-dependent density functional thoery, using a real-space representation of the electron wave functions and calculating the dynamics in real time. The real-space formulation increases the efficiency for calculating the interaction, and the real-time treatment decreases storage requirements and the allows the entire frequency-dependent response to be calculated at once. We give as examples the dielectric functions of a simple metal, lithium, and an elemental insulator, diamond.Comment: 17 pages, Latex, 5 figure

    Multi-pumping mechanised determination of selenium in natural waters by light emitting diode (LED) spectrometry

    Get PDF
    It has been developed a fully mechanised procedure for the determination of selenium in waters employing a LED based spectrometer and solenoid multi-pumps as solution propelling devices. The proposed method is based on the reaction of selenium with potassium iodide in an acidic medium to liberate iodine, which oxidizes Variamine Blue to form a violet-colour species which absorb at 530 nm. The system was mechanised using the multicommutation process and a stopped flow strategy in the final step reaction. The analytical curve was linear between 0.010 and 0.500 mg L-1, with an equation ΔA = 0.501 (± 0.004) C and r = 0.999. The limit of detection (3σ/S) obtained for the proposed method was 0.004 mg L-1. The relative standard deviation for Se solutions of 0.050 and 0.200 mg L-1 (n = 4) were 1.6 and 1.8% respectively, the sampling throughput was 23 determinations per hour, and accuracy was 95% probability level.Um procedimento para determinação de selênio em águas, completamente mecanizado, foi desenvolvido empregando um fotômetro baseado em LED e mini-bombas solenóide como dispositivos de propulsão. O método proposto é baseado na reação de selênio com iodeto de potássio em meio ácido para liberar iodo, o qual oxida a variamina azul formando um composto violeta que absorve em 530 nm. O sistema foi mecanizado empregando o processo de multicomutação em fluxo e uma estratégia de parada de fluxo na etapa final para desenvolvimento da reação. A curva analítica foi linear entre as concentrações de 0,010 a 0,500 mg L-1, segundo a equação ΔA = 0,501 (± 0,004) C (R = 0,999). O limite de detecção (3σ/S) obtido com o método proposto foi de 0,004 mg L-1. Desvios padrão relativo de 1,6 e 1,8% (n = 4) foram obtidos para soluções de Se com concentrações de 0,050 e 0,200 mg L-1, respectivamente. A freqüência de amostragem foi de 23 determinações por hora, e a exatidão foi de 95% de probabilidade.CAPES - MECDMinisterio de Educación y CienciaDirecció General d'Investigació i Transferència Tecnològica de la Generalitat ValencianaAcción Especial de la Universitat de Valenci

    A theorem on the absence of phase transitions in one-dimensional growth models with onsite periodic potentials

    Get PDF
    We rigorously prove that a wide class of one-dimensional growth models with onsite periodic potential, such as the discrete sine-Gordon model, have no phase transition at any temperature T>0T>0. The proof relies on the spectral analysis of the transfer operator associated to the models. We show that this operator is Hilbert-Schmidt and that its maximum eigenvalue is an analytic function of temperature.Comment: 6 pages, no figures, submitted to J Phys A: Math Ge
