    European Master in Nuclear Energy (EMINE). When academy and industry meet

    Get PDF
    EMINE master programme is an international education initiative offered by KIC-InnoEnergy under the framework of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). Students in the programme have the opportunity to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the nuclear industry, through unique and specialised courses covering a wide range of subjects. Students choose between UPC (Barcelona) and KTH (Stockholm) for the first year and between Grenoble-INP and Paris-Saclay University (France) for the second year. Grenoble École de Management (GEM) completes the list of academic partners: students take a 3-week summer course on energy management issues after their first year in EMINE. EMINE students also benefit from the involvement of our industrial partners (AREVA, EDF, ENDESA, INSTN-CEA, and Vattenfall) in the Programme. For the academic institutions, EMINE is the opportunity to provide a high level education aligned with the industrial needs. The international collaboration among universities helps improving the quality and the adoption of best practices. EMINE attracts good students to our centres whereas the EIT funding and the industrial involvement allows a number of activities that otherwise would have been difficult to carry out, such as the assistance of external industrial experts or field activities. MSc EMINE helps tomorrow’s nuclear engineers take up the challenges the nuclear energy industry faces in terms of safety, social acceptability and waste management. By offering outstanding technical training and addressing the economic, social and political aspects of nuclear energy, the programme broadens the scope of traditional nuclear education.Postprint (published version

    Portrayal of Women in Kenya\u27s Print Media: a Study of Daily Nation, the Standard, and Kenya Times, June 2002 to June 2003

    Problem Portrayal of women in Kenya‟s print media is replete with stereotype images that portray women only in their domestic roles at the expense of their roles in national development. This study is aimed at determining the extent o f this negative portrayal and the likely explanatory reasons. Method Content analysis of newspaper articles of a sample of three major dailies—Daily Nation, The Standard, and Kenya Times—was carried out for issues between June 2002 and June 2003. A total of 144 issues were identified, coded, and analyzed. Results Women and women‟s issues are allocated less space and portrayed more negatively compared to their male counterparts in all the three dailies. However, women journalists tend to portray women more positively. Conclusions Factors contributing towards marginalization of women and women‟s issues include the patriarchal values in Kenyan society, a small number of women professionals in the media industry, and the fact that media industry is largely male owned and dominated. The situation can be corrected only by conscious efforts by all stakeholders

    A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Sex Differences in the Behavior of Children Aged Three Through 11

    Get PDF
    This paper uses the cross-cultural, systematic child observations of the Six Culture Study, led by John and Beatrice Whiting of Harvard University, to investigate the validity of the stereotypes of sex differences about nurturance, aggression, compliance, dependency, and other behaviors. The children aged 3 – 11 years, were observed in natural settings in seven different parts of the world. The analysis indicates that there are universal sex differences in the children’s behavior, but the differences are not consistent nor as great as the studies of American and Western European children would suggest. Furthermore, socialization pressure in the form of task assignment and the associated frequency of interaction with many different categories of individuals—i.e. infants, adults, and peers—may well explain many of the differences. Aggression, perhaps especially rough and tumble play, and touching behavior seem the best candidates for biophysical genesis. All of the behaviors that are characteristic of males and females seem malleable under the impact of socialization pressures. The differences in many of the types of behavior seem to be one of style rather than intent

    Unstable Symmetries

    End-users agree that adaptive models are an interesting new topic in the field of theory, and security experts concur. After years of confusing research into the Turing machine, we verify the study of DHTs. Our focus in this position paper is not on whether the infamous interactive algorithm for the visualization of the UNIVAC computer [21] runs in Ω(2n) time, but rather on constructing a novel heuristic for the natural unification of consistent hashing and XML (Aisless-Banc)

    First Steps Towards an Annotated Database of American English

    This paper reports on one of the first steps in building a very large annotated database of American English. We present and discuss the results of an experiment comparing manual part-of-speech tagging with manual verification and correction of automatic stochastic tagging. The experiment shows that correcting is superior to tagging with respect to speed, consistency and accuracy

    A study of the dynamics of magnetic disaccommodation in amorphous ferromagnets. II. Theoretical considerations

    Get PDF
    The results obtained in part I are interpreted in terms of the viscosity field arising from independent processes of directional ordering for magnetic defects dispersed in the amorphous structure and interacting with the magnetization vector. A specific model is developed in order to take into account the changes in the ordering kinetics induced by the periodic magnetization rotations described in part I. This model, however, requires that the magnetic induction remain constant during the whole measurement; as a consequence, the model's predictions cannot be directly compared with the experimental results, obtained instead at constant applied field. This difficulty is overcome by deriving a general relationship between the magnetic‐induction decay and the viscosity field kinetics for an arbitrary number of half‐periods of the square‐wave field. The agreement of our theory with the experimental results turns out to be quite satisfactory. As consequence, the ordering processes responsible for the magnetic aftereffect in amorphous ferromagnets may be described as essentially uncorrelated
