The variation of the contact impedance of adhesive conductive EMI shielding tapes under high temperature storage (HTS) of 110degC is investigated. The adhesive tapes under test are implemented as signal return paths in microstrip lines. Changes in the ground plane impedance by adhesive deterioration are analyzed by S-parameter measurements from 1MHz to 3GHz. A circuit model for contact impedance degradation is proposed and applied in simulation of board level shielding. Contact resistance and contact capacitance are found to increase significantly after 2400h, causing a declined magnetic field shielding effectiveness by 30 dB below 500 MHz.
Previous work has indicated that testing can enhance memory for subsequently studied new information by reducing proactive interference from previously studied information. Here, we examined this forward testing effect in children’s spatial memory. Kindergartners (5–6 years) and younger (7–8 years) and older (9–10 years) elementary school children studied four successively presented 3 x 3 arrays, each composed of the same 9 objects. The children were asked to memorize the locations of the objects that differed across the four arrays. Following presentation of each of the first three arrays, memory for the object locations of the respective array was tested (testing condition) or the array was re-presented for additional study (restudy condition). Results
revealed that testing Arrays 1 to 3 enhanced children’s object location memory for Array 4 relative to restudying. Moreover, children in the testing condition were less likely to confuse Array 4 locations with previous locations, suggesting that testing reduces the buildup of proactive interference. Both effects were found regardless of age. Thus, the current findings indicate that testing is an effective means to resolve proactive interference and, in this way, to enhance children’s learning and remembering of spatial information even before the time of school entry.
This article examines interweaving collective histories in different formerly colonized regions of the world: 1. Migratory movements from the territory of the former Ottoman Empire to the Americas, specifically to Brazil, and 2. transregional migration between different regions within China. On the basis of empirical data, we discuss sociological biographical research as an approach to analyzing migration and social mobility as transgenerational processes. In the case of Syrians in Brazil who have fled from the civil war, these processes are reflected in transnational family structures, transgenerational mandates, and knowledge transmission. In the case of domestic migration within China, the “mission” that families give their children is social advancement through education (e.g., Crabb 2010; Fong 2004). In the context of anti-Western discourses in China, it can be demonstrated that postcolonial discourses are functional in the effort to regain former international strength and national prosperity, and that discourses on “becoming a modern citizen” pervade family aspirations. The article is intended as a plea for i) taking a closer look at historical and contemporary South-South relations, and ii) situating current migration movements historically. It ties into global historical and sociological debates on “shared/common histories” and “intertwined histories."
Enhanced inductive power transmission (IPT) between coaxially arranged circular coils is introduced by time-modulation of the mutual inductance. This modulation is accomplished by coherent switching of the short circuit current induced in a third loop. An analytical circuit model supporting the design for future time-modulated IPT systems is derived. We demonstrate an increase in load rms-voltage by 13% (28% gain in power) compared to an unmodulated transfer on an experimental system operating at fundamental frequencies ranging from 40kHz to 500kHz.
BACKGROUND
Vertigo, dizziness or balance disorders (VDB) affect the mobility and participation of many older people and are also one of the most frequent reasons for visiting the general practitioner's (GP) practice due to multifactorial causes. Physiotherapy (PT) can be crucial for the complex care of people with VDB but is rarely prescribed by GPs. So we developed an evidence-based, multidisciplinary care pathway as a complex intervention following the UK Medical Research Council guideline, which was piloted and is now being evaluated for effectiveness, accompanied by a process evaluation.
METHOD
The care pathway of the multicentre cluster-RCT (MobilE-PHY2) included decision aids and training for PTs and GPs in the intervention group and optimised standard care in the control group. A mixed-methods process evaluation following Grant’s framework for designing process evaluations examined barriers, facilitating factors and mechanisms of impact in recruiting and reaching participants, implementing the intervention and the response of all participants. Therefore, a logic model was developed illustrating the relationship between the planned work to implement the intervention, the expected mechanism of impact (based on the behaviour change wheel as a change theory), the intended results (output, outcome and impact), and categories of possible influencing factors. The underlying assumption is that a behavioural change in PT and GP is a prerequisite for a change in patient behaviour, which can lead to improved mobility and participation (outcome of MobilE-PHY2). Guided interviews were conducted with patients before the intervention and after six months and with PTs and GPs after six months. Additionally, the training evaluations, completed decision aids and structural questionnaires will be analysed from June 2023.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
At one study site, a total of 37 patients, 17 PTs and nine GPs were included. Interviews were conducted with 16 patients, six PTs and GPs. In the intervention group, 12 PTs and 18 GPs completed decision aids, 13 PTs and two GPs completed evaluation forms, and eight PTs and four GPs completed structural data. The preliminary results of the process evaluation will be reported at the Congress. The results are intended to give indications for a broad implementation of the care pathway, including and promoting physiotherapy and therefore contributing to improved evidence-based healthcare for older people with VDB.
A Planar Magneto-Inductive Device with Modulated Mutual Inductance for Wireless Power Transmission
(2023)
A Magneto-Inductive Wave (MIW) structure for wireless power transfer (WPT) is proposed with switchable mutual inductance between neighbored coupling coils. Orthogonally placed switchable short circuit loops are added in order to modulate the wave propagation properties of the MIW structure without changing the resonance frequency. We derive an analytical model based on lumped circuit analysis for the MIW waveguide and successfully evaluate the theoretical findings by circuit modeling and field simulation. We demonstrate switchable, i.e. addressable, guided wireless power transfer along an experimental MIW structure at a resonance frequency of 20.5 MHz.
Many experts project generative AI will impact the types of competencies that are valued among working professionals. This is the first known academic study to explore the views of business practitioners about the impacts of generative AI on skill sets. This survey of 692 business practitioners showed that business practitioners widely use generative AI, with the most common uses involving research and ideation, drafting of business messages and reports, and summarizing and revising text. Business practitioners report that character-based traits such as integrity and soft skills will become more important. Implications for teaching business communication are discussed.
The bond between polymer fibers and the surrounding cementitious matrix is essential for the development of concrete reinforcement. The single fiber pull-out test (SFPT) is the standard characterization technique for testing the bond strength. However, the different phases of debonding cannot be distinguished by the SFPT. This study investigates the debonding of different polymer fibers from the surrounding cementitious matrix with a modified SFPT and proposes methods to change the SFPT setup to generate more valuable information on the debonding mechanism. The SFPT was equipped with linear variable differential transformers (LVDT), digital image correlation (DIC) and acoustic emission (AE) analysis. The results demonstrate that the modified SFPT allows a better understanding of the different phases of debonding during fiber pull-out. Furthermore, bond strength values calculated by different methods reveal that the chemical bond of the investigated polymers is not different as reported by previous studies. Deformation measurements performed using LVDTs and DIC are suitable measuring techniques to characterize the debonding mechanism in SFPT. A correlation between recorded AE and debonding phases was not found.
The necessity for resource-efficient manufacturing technologies requires new developments within the field of plastic processing. Lightweight design using wood fibers as sustainable reinforcement for thermoplastics might be one solution. The processing of wood fibers requires special attention to the applied thermal load. Even at low processing temperatures, the influence of the dwell time, temperature and shear force is critical to ensure the structural integrity of fibers. Therefore, this article compares different compounding rates for polypropylene with wood fibers and highlights their effects on the olfactory, visual and mechanical properties of the injection-molded part. The study compares one-step processing, using an injection-molding compounder (IMC), with two-step processing, using a twin-scew-extruder (TSE), a heating/cooling mixer (HCM) and an internal mixer (IM) with subsequent injection molding. Although the highest fiber length was achieved by using the IMC, the best mechanical properties were achieved by the HCM and IM. The measured oxidation induction time and volatile organic compound content indicate that the lowest amount of thermal damage occurred when using the HCM and IM. The advantage of one-time melting was evened out by the dwell time. The reinforcement of thermoplastics by wood fibers depends more strongly on the structural integrity of the fibers compared to their length and homogeneity
The study at hand presents a methodology to determine the utilization of public charging infrastructure by the proportion of effective charging time and idle time. The results of the study can be used by decision makers to better understand the usage behavior of public charging infrastructure and to align the provision of charging infrastructure with the behavior of users. The user behavior is analyzed using charging areas and scenario-based analysis of charging sessions. More than 300,000 charging sessions at AC and DC charging stations in the urban area of Munich in 2020 were recorded as the data basis for the study. The methodology takes the available vehicle models in the study area as well as the characteristic charging behavior of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with a decreasing charging power at high states of charge of the battery into account. The results show a high proportion of idle time at AC charging stations. The outcome of a correlation analysis additionally indicates a correlation between the share of idle time and the proportion of high-density urban living in the survey area.
