Religious Affiliation, Religious and Spiritual Practices, and Burnout among Adolescent Residential Staff Members

Adolescent residential treatment staff members have jobs that are emotionally exhausting, physically taxing and spiritually draining. Good coping skills, including religious/spiritual practices, may reduce burnout. Results from a small rural adolescent residential treatment center indicated a high degree of burnout. Burnout was negatively correlated with existential and religious well-being, stress, income, social support and personal mental health treatmen

The Role of spiritual/religious practices in moderating stress among adolescent residential treatment staff

The thermal expansion of a Kevlar® 49 cord down to cryogenic temperatures

In this work the thermal expansion of a twisted Kevlar® 49 cord assembly made at SRON in the 293 K to 7 K temperature range is presented. In addition to these results, the setup used to measure this thermal expansion is described, as are the methods used to calibrate and verify the accuracy of this setup. Measurements with the set-up agree to within 5 % with Ti-6Al-4V literature values. The thermal expansion of the SRON Kevlar® 49 cord assembly is measured and compared to the sparse literature available. At 7 K, the total fractional expansion of the Kevlar® cord assembly is 1.6·10-3 relative to 293 K, with an estimated relative error of 3%.</p

ATHENA X-IFU Demonstration Model: First Joint Operation of the Main TES Array and its Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC)

The X-IFU is the cryogenic spectrometer onboard the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is based on a large array of TES microcalorimeters, which work in combination with a Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector (CryoAC). This is necessary to reduce the particle background level thus enabling part of the mission science goals. Here we present the first joint test of X-IFU TES array and CryoAC Demonstration Models, performed in a FDM setup. We show that it is possible to operate properly both detectors, and we provide a preliminary demonstration of the anti-coincidence capability of the system achieved by the simultaneous detection of cosmic muons
