A Data Centre Air Flow Model for Predicting Computer Server Inlet Temperatures

Data centres account for approx. 1.3% of the world\u27s electricity consumption, of which up to 50% of that power is dedicated to keeping the actual equipment cool. This represents a huge opportunity to reduce data centre energy consumption by tackling the cooling system operations with a focus on thermal management. This work presents a novel Data Centre Air Flow Model (DCAM) for temperature prediction of server inlet temperatures. The model is a physics-based model under-pinned by turbulent jet theory allowing a reduction in the solution domain size by using only local boundary conditions in front of the servers. Current physics-based modeling approaches require a solution domain of the entire data centre room which is expensive in terms of computation even if a small change occurs in a localised area. By limiting the solution domain and boundary conditions to a local level, the model focuses on the airflow mixing that affects temperatures while also simplifying the related computations. The DCAM model does not have the usual complexities of numerical computations, dependencies on computational grid size, meshing or the need to solve a full domain solution. The input boundary conditions required for the model can be supplied by the Building Management System (BMS), Power Distribution Units (PDU), sensors, or output from other modeling environments that only need updating when significant changes occur. Preliminary results validated on a real world data centre yield an overall prediction error of 1.2°C RMSE. The model can perform in real-time, giving way to applications for real-time monitoring, as input to optimise control of air conditioning units, and can complement sensor networks

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for clinically distressed health care workers: Waitlist-controlled evaluation of an ACT workshop in a routine practice setting

OBJECTIVES: To examine the effects of a 1-day acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) workshop on the mental health of clinically distressed health care employees, and to explore ACT's processes of change in a routine practice setting. DESIGN: A quasi-controlled design, with participants block allocated to an ACT intervention or waiting list control group based on self-referral date. METHODS: Participants were 35 health care workers who had self-referred for the ACT workshop via a clinical support service for staff. Measures were completed by ACT and control group participants at pre-intervention and 3 months post-intervention. Participants allocated to the waitlist condition went on to receive the ACT intervention and were also assessed 3 months later. RESULTS: At 3 months post-intervention, participants in the ACT group reported a significantly lower level of psychological distress compared to the control group (d = 1.41). Across the 3-month evaluation period, clinically significant change was exhibited by 50% of ACT participants, compared to 0% in the control group. When the control group received the same ACT intervention, 69% went on to exhibit clinically significant change. The ACT intervention also resulted in significant improvements in psychological flexibility, defusion, and mindfulness skills, but did not significantly reduce the frequency of negative cognitions. Bootstrapped mediation analyses indicated that the reduction in distress in the ACT condition was primarily associated with an increase in mindfulness skills, especially observing and non-reactivity. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide preliminary support for providing brief ACT interventions as part of routine clinical support services for distressed workers. PRACTITIONER POINTS: - A 1-day ACT workshop delivered in the context of a routine staff support service was effective for reducing psychological distress among health care workers. - The brief nature of this group intervention means it may be particularly suitable for staff support and primary care mental health service settings. - The findings indicate that the beneficial effects of an ACT workshop on distressed employees' mental health were linked to improvements in specific mindfulness skills. - Study limitations include non-random allocation of participants to the ACT and control groups, and measurement of mediators and outcome at the same time point (3 months post-intervention)

Luminescent 1,8-Naphthalimide-Derived ReI Complexes: syntheses, spectroscopy, X-ray structure and preliminary bioimaging in fission yeast cells

A series of picolyl-functionalised, fluorescent 1,8-naphthalimide ligands (L) have been synthesised and coordi-nated to ReI to form luminescent cationic complexes of the general form fac-[Re(phen)(CO)3(L)]BF4. The complexes were characterised by using a range of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. One example of a complex was also characterised in the solid-state by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, reveal-ing a distorted octahedral coordination sphere at ReI and Re– C/Re–N bond lengths within the expected ranges. All ligands were shown to be fluorescent, with the 4-amino derivatives showing intramolecular charge transfer in the visible region (511–534 nm). The complexes generally showed a mixture of ligand-centred and/or 3MLCT emission depending upon the na-ture of the coordinated 1,8-naphthalimide ligand. For selected complexes, confocal fluorescence microscopy was undertaken by using fission yeast cells (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) and showed that the structure of the 1,8-naphthalimide ligand influ-ences the uptake and localisation of the rhenium complex
