Collective spin dynamics in magnetic nanomaterials

Magnetic nanomaterials are considered, formed by magnetic nanomolecules with high spins. The problem of spin reversal in these materials is analyzed, which is of interest for the possible use of such materials for quantum information processing and quantum computing. The fastest spin reversal can be achieved by coupling the spin sample to a resonant electric circuit and by an appropriate choice of the system parameters. A principal point is to choose these parameters so that to organize coherent spin motion. Dynamics of collective motion is modelled by computer simulations, which confirm the high level of dynamical coherence of molecular spins in the process of spin reversal.Comment: Latex file, 7 pages, 4 figure

Patient safety in undergraduate radiography curricula : a European perspective

Purpose: To establish an understanding of patient safety within radiography education across Europe by surveying higher education institutions registered as affiliate members of the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS). Method: An online survey was developed to ascertain data on: programme type, patient safety definitions, relevant safety topics, specific areas taught, teaching and assessment methods, levels of teaching and curriculum drivers. Responses were identifiable in terms of educational institution and country. All 54 affiliated educational institutions were invited to participate. Descriptive and thematic analyses are reported. Results: A response rate of 61.1% (n = 33) was achieved from educational institutions representing 19 countries. Patient safety topics appear to be extremely well covered across curricula, however, topics including radiation protection and optimisation were not reported as being taught at an ‘advanced level’ by five and twelve respondents, respectively. Respondents identified the clinical department as the location of most patient safety-related teaching. Conclusions: Patient safety topics are deeply embedded within radiography curricula across Europe. Variations exist in terms of individual safety topics included, teaching and assessment methods, and the depth in which subjects are taught. Results from this study provide a baseline for assessing developments in curricula and can also serve as a benchmark for comparisons
