Electromagnetically Induced Transparency with an Ensemble of Donor-Bound Electron Spins in a Semiconductor
We present measurements of electromagnetically induced transparency with an
ensemble of donor- bound electrons in low-doped n-GaAs. We used optical
transitions from the Zeeman-split electron spin states to a bound trion state
in samples with optical densities of 0.3 and 1.0. The electron spin dephasing
time T* \approx 2 ns was limited by hyperfine coupling to fluctuating nuclear
spins. We also observe signatures of dynamical nuclear polarization, but find
these effects to be much weaker than in experiments that use electron spin
resonance and related experiments with quantum dots.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures; Improved analysis of data in Fig. 3, corrected

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRUST, TURNOVER INTENTIONS AND EMOTIONS: AN APPLICATION
Managerial leaders and directors are required to succeed the method of “sense” and “emotion” very well, to achieve organizational aims (Lee, 2002). Organizations need to manage all the emotions and feelings and concepts that affect persons health and performance (Gross, 1999). Business life dealing with this issue has increased in seriousness because, the effect of emotions in decision making cleared with academic studies. There is a need to find the path to the correct leadership of emotions. Emotions in the organization help to identify thoughts about the presence and desire to work (Jackson, 2006). The main purpose of this study, which should be considered a descriptive survey in the general sense, is to investigate the relationship between emotional expressions, trust and turnover intentions. Two different surveys were used in order to measure and assess the emotions expressions, trust and turnover intentions. The survey conducted on 200 employees of the public sector institution. Data, obtained from questionnaires analyzed through the SPSS statistical packaged software. We found that especially trust factors (Trust in management, co-worker trust and trust to manager) had a significant effect on “satisfaction” factor of turnover intentions. In addition, we found that “Co-worker trust” had a negative and significant effect on “Seek for job” factor of turnover intentions
The effect of solvent and pressure on polycaprolactone solutions for particle and fibre formation
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a widely used material in many applications to tackle health problems worldwide. Formed micro- or nanosized PCL particles and fibres benefit from a higher surface area to volume ratio and are valuable in those applications, thus there is always a push to achieve smaller diameters. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) technologies have been at the forefront in the production of polymeric biomaterials, and pressurised gyration (PG) has also enhanced possibilities by its ability to spin comparable fibres at rapid speeds. In this work, PCL microparticles and fibres were separately produced by changing key operating parameters of EHD and PG systems and PCL solution properties. Initially, PCL microparticles were formed by electrospraying with different binary solvent systems, followed by pressurised gyration fibre production with various singular solvents and a pre-optimised binary solvent system. As anticipated, the use of binary systems altered particle morphologies and diameters, while increased pressure and the use of different solvents greatly affected the characteristics of resulting fibres. The morphology of PCL was found to be highly dependent on the solvents and operating parameters of the technology used
The form factors existing in the b->s g^* decay and the possible CP violating effects in the noncommutative standard model
We study the form factors appearing in the inclusive decay b -> s g^*, in the
framework of the noncommutative standard model. Here g^* denotes the virtual
gluon. We get additional structures and the corresponding form factors in the
noncommutative geometry. We analyse the dependencies of the form factors to the
parameter p\Theta k where p (k) are the four momenta of incoming (outgoing) b
quark (virtual gluon g^*, \Theta is a parameter which measures the
noncommutativity of the geometry. We see that the form factors are weaklyComment: 8 pages, 7 figure
Active Duty Training For Support of Navy\u27s Additive Manufacturing Strategy
Additive manufacturing has recently gained the attention of multiple stakeholders, including those in the advanced manufacturing industry, research and government labs, academia, and the Navy community. Various efforts within the Navy focus on studying the best way for parts to be built and repaired for marine and naval vessels. Rapid manufacturing of spare components is particularly important for sailors, especially while deployed on warships, as they often do not have timely access to spare parts from the supply chain. For that purpose, a multidisciplinary team of engineering and education faculty have developed a series of workshops to train on-duty sailors in designing, testing, reverse engineering, and printing parts needed for their daily operations. The workshop has modules focused on rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, computer aided design, material testing, product data management, and product lifecycle management. The Office of Naval Research Workforce Development program funds this program
Glassy dynamics from generalized mode-coupling theory: existence and uniqueness of solutions for hierarchically coupled integro-differential equations
Generalized mode-coupling theory (GMCT) is a first-principles-based and
systematically correctable framework to predict the complex relaxation dynamics
of glass-forming materials. The formal theory amounts to a hierarchy of
infinitely many coupled integro-differential equations, which may be
approximated using a suitable finite-order closure relation. Although previous
studies have suggested that finite-order GMCT leads to well-defined solutions,
and that the hierarchy converges as the closure level increases, no rigorous
and general result in this direction is known. Here we unambiguously establish
the existence and uniqueness of solutions to generic, schematic GMCT
hierarchies that are closed at arbitrary order. We consider two types of
commonly invoked closure approximations, namely mean-field and exponential
closures. We also distinguish explicitly between overdamped and underdamped
glassy dynamics, corresponding to hierarchies of first-order and second-order
integro-differential equations, respectively. We find that truncated GMCT
hierarchies closed under an exponential closure conform to previously developed
mathematical theories, such that the existence of a unique solution can be
readily inferred. Self-consistent mean-field closures, however, of which the
well-known standard-MCT closure approximation is a special case, warrant
additional arguments for mathematical rigour. We demonstrate that the existence
of a priori bounds on the solution is sufficient to also prove that unique
solutions exist for such self-consistent hierarchies. To complete our analysis,
we present simple arguments to show that these a priori bounds must exist,
motivated by the physical interpretation of the GMCT solutions as density
correlation functions. Overall, our work contributes to the theoretical
justification of GMCT for studies of the glass transition, placing GMCT on a
firmer mathematical footing.Comment: 7 pages Revised version that contains minor changes and, in Sec. V, a

Middle interhemispheric holoprosencephaly with subdural hematoma
Background: A 4-month-old boy with prenatal sonography findings consistent with corpus callosum agenesis and ventriculomegaly presented. Patient was born at 37-weeks from 18-yearold woman, gravida 1 para 1. There was no history of teratogen exposure in utero such as radiation, alcohol, drug or postnatal trauma. There was no family history of brain malformations nor chromosomal abnormalities. Clinically no facial abnormality was observed. The mother had gestational diabetes during pregnancy. The baby was delivered by means of cesarean section because of severe eclampsia at 37 weeks. Postnatal routine physical examination of patient was normal
