Calculation of Field Characteristics in Periodic Nanostructures from Composite Elements with Activated Plasmon Modes

Modeling of the electromagnetic field of the optical frequency in periodic structures composed of parallel conducting nanorods as well as composite spherical nanoparticles with an excitonogenic envelope in hexagonal 2d-lattices - in the quasistatic approximation and the FDTD method. The qualitative agreement of these approaches is shown when calculating field characteristics in lattices of cylindrical elements

TO DEMYTHOLOGIZE VOCATIONS

Vocations in each culture are mythologized, which stabilizes the social structure. The post-industrial situation contributes to the demythologization of vocations, destabilization and devocationalization of society.Профессии в каждой культуре мифологизированы, что стабилизирует социальную структуру. Постиндустриальная ситуация способствует демифологизации профессий, дестабилизации и депрофессионализации социума

XPS studies on surfaces of field-emission cathodes of artificial carbon materials

The electronic structure of the surface layer of artificial carbon-based materials operated as field emission cathodes was studied using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Samples B-1300, B-1500, and B-1900 were investigated. An analysis of the spectra showed an alteration of the hybridization of atoms in the original material, which suggested the formation of diamond-like inclusions on the sample surface. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York

Transition Radiation Spectroscopy with Prototypes of the ALICE TRD

We present measurements of the transition radiation (TR) spectrum produced in an irregular radiator at different electron momenta. The data are compared to simulations of TR from a regular radiator.Comment: 4 pages, 5 Figures, Proceedings for "TRDs for the 3rd millennium" (Sept. 4-7, 2003, Bari, Italy

From Research Evidence to “Evidence by Proxy”? Organizational Enactment of Evidence-Based Health Care in Four High-Income Countries

Public Administration Review published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of The American Society for Public Administration. Drawing on multiple qualitative case studies of evidence-based health care conducted in Sweden, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, the authors systematically explore the composition, circulation, and role of codified knowledge deployed in the organizational enactment of evidence-based practice. The article describes the “chain of codified knowledge,” which reflects the institutionalization of evidence-based practice as organizational business as usual, and shows that it is dominated by performance standards, policies and procedures, and locally collected (improvement and audit) data. These interconnected forms of “evidence by proxy,” which are informed by research partly or indirectly, enable simplification, selective reinforcement, and contextualization of scientific knowledge. The analysis reveals the dual effects of this codification dynamic on evidence-based practice and highlights the influence of macro-level ideological, historical, and technological factors on the composition and circulation of codified knowledge in the organizational enactment of evidence-based health care in different countries
