Eta electroproduction on nuclei in the nucleon resonance region
We investigate eta electroproduction on nuclei for Q^2=2.4 and 3.6 GeV^2 in
the framework of a coupled-channel BUU transport model. We analyze the
importance of final state interactions and side feeding and compare with
findings drawn from eta photoproduction. It is shown that in contrast to
photoproduction the influence of etas stemming from secondary processes becomes
important at high Q^2.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
The strange non-death of employer and business associations : an analysis of their representativeness and activities in Western European countries.
Against the background that corporatism is on the decline in recent decades, one could expect that the representativeness of employer and business associations is also declining. In this article it is argued and shown that, contrary to this expectation, this decline is not observable for employer and business associations. So the question arises as to whether employer and business associations are simply relics of a different era with no longer any purpose. Using a cross-national approach it is shown that by adapting their organizational structure as well as their activities to the changing needs of business, employer and business organizations are as âstrongâ and active nowadays as ever

In-medium broadening of nucleon resonances
We analyze the effects of an in-medium broadening of nucleon resonances on
the exclusive photoproduction of mesons on nuclei as well as on the total
photoabsorption cross sections in a transport calculation. We show that the
resonance widths observed in semi-inclusive photoproduction on nuclei are
insensitive to an in-medium broadening of nucleon resonances. This is due to a
simple effect: the sizeable width of the nuclear surface and Fermi motion.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, minor changes in the tex
Surface and volume effects in the photoabsorption of nuclei
Recent experimental results for meson photoproduction from nuclei obtained
with TAPS at MAMI are analyzed in view of the suppression of the second nucleon
resonance region in total photoabsorption. The cross sections can be split into
a component from the low density surface region of nuclei and a component which
scales more like the nuclear volume. The energy dependence of the surface
component is similar to the deuteron cross section, it shows a clear signal for
the second resonance peak assigned to the excitation of the P11(1440),
D13(1520), and S11(1535). The volume component behaves differently, it is
lacking the second resonance peak and shows an enhancement at intermediate
photon energies.Comment: accepted for publication in Eur. J. Phys.
Total Synthesis of Tulearin C
With the help of the smaller brother: Although alkyne metathesis will always be the little brother of alkene metathesis, it allows problems to be solved that are currently beyond reach of the more famous sibling. This notion is exemplified by the tulearin macrolides, which could only be selectively forged by ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM)/transâ
reduction using the latest generation of alkyne metathesis catalysts
Log in and breathe out: efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an online sleep training for teachers affected by work-related strain-study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background: Insomnia and work-related stress often co-occur. Both are associated with personal distress and diminished general functioning, as well as substantial socio-economic costs due to, for example, reduced productivity at the work place and absenteeism. Insomnia complaints by people experiencing work-related stress are correlated with a deficient cognitive detachment from work. Diffuse boundaries between work and private life can additionally complicate the use of recreational activities that facilitate cognitive detachment.Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is effective but rarely implemented. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia could potentially reduce this deficit given its demonstrated effectiveness. Less is known, however, about the efficacy of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia in populations affected by high work stress. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a newly developed, guided online training which is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia and tailored to teachers affected by occupational stress.Methods/Design: In a two-arm randomized controlled trial (N = 128), the effects of a guided online sleep training will be compared to a waitlist-control condition. German teachers with significant clinical insomnia complaints (Insomnia Severity Index â„15) and work-related rumination (Irritation Scale, subscale Cognitive Irritation â„15) will be included in the study. The primary outcome measure will be insomnia severity. Additionally, an economic evaluation from a societal perspective will be conducted. Data from the intention-to-treat sample will be analyzed two and six months after randomization.Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate an online sleep training tailored to a specific population with work stress, that is, teachers. If this type of intervention is effective, it could reduce the paucity of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and augment the support for teachers in coping with their insomnia problems.Trial registration: German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS): DRKS00004700. © 2013 Thiart et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd
Photoproduction of pi0-mesons from nuclei
Photoproduction of neutral pions from nuclei (carbon, calcium, niobium, lead)
has been studied for incident photon energies from 200 MeV to 800 MeV with the
TAPS detector using the Glasgow photon tagging spectrometer at the Mainz MAMI
accelerator. Data were obtained for the inclusive photoproduction of neutral
pions and the partial channels of quasifree single pi0, double pi0, and
pi0pi+/- photoproduction. They have been analyzed in terms of the in-medium
behavior of nucleon resonances and the pion - nucleus interaction. They are
compared to earlier measurements from the deuteron and to the predictions of a
Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) transport model for photon induced pion
production from nuclei.Comment: 15 pages, 22 figures, accepted for publication in EPJ
