A Semi-Empirical Model for Forecasting Relativistic Electrons at Geostationary Orbit

We developed a new prediction model for forecasting relativistic (>2MeV) electrons, which provides a VERY HIGH correlation between predicted and actually measured electron fluxes at geostationary orbit. This model implies the multi-step particle acceleration and is based on numerical integrating two linked continuity equations for primarily accelerated particles and relativistic electrons. The model includes a source and losses, and used solar wind data as only input parameters. We used the coupling function which is a best-fit combination of solar wind/Interplanetary Magnetic Field parameters, responsible for the generation of geomagnetic activity, as a source. The loss function was derived from experimental data. We tested the model for four year period 2004-2007. The correlation coefficient between predicted and actual values of the electron fluxes for whole four year period as well as for each of these years is about 0.9. The high and stable correlation between the computed and actual electron fluxes shows that the reliable forecasting these electrons at geostationary orbit is possible. The correlation coefficient between predicted and actual electron fluxes is stable and incredibly high

Autonomous or controlled self-regulation, that is the question: A self-determination perspective on the impact of commuting on employees’ domain-specific functioning

The few studies that have considered psychological processes during the commute have drawn an ambiguous picture, with some emphasizing the negative and others the positive consequences of commuting. Drawing on self-determination theory, we develop a framework that expands on the costs and benefits of commuting for employees’ subsequent domain-related functioning at work and home. Specifically, we propose employees’ basic needs satisfaction and processes of autonomous and controlled self-regulation as mechanisms that explain how psychological commute characteristics spill over to domain-related functioning through experienced subjective vitality. In doing so, we introduce a taxonomy of psychological commute characteristics and highlight the importance of separating these underlying subjective characteristics from objective aspects of the commuting environment. Our research encourages scholars to conduct within- and between-person studies to examine how the objective commute environment and associated psychological commute characteristics affect employees’ self-regulation

Virologische Parameter und klinische Daten im Verlauf von HCMV-Infektionen nach Stammzelltransplantation in der Pädiatrie

Die systemische HCMV-Infektion stellt im Anschluss an die allogene SCT eine schwere Komplikation dar, die maßgeblich am Outcome transplantierter Patienten beteiligt ist. In den meisten Fällen kommt es aufgrund einer Störung der zellulären Immunantwort zu einer Reaktivierung der latent verlaufenden Virusinfektion. Ziel dieser retrospektiven Arbeit bestand darin, Korrelationen zwischen der Viruslast im Plasma und den definierten Laborparametern zu ermitteln um in der Zukunft mögliche prädiktive Aussagen in Bezug auf Krankheitsverlauf treffen zu könne
