We have investigated the optical excitation of solitons and charge transfer excitons in polymer chains by solving the equations of motion for the reduced density matrix and the lattice displacement simultaneously in time. Electron-phonon coupling leads to polaron-exciton formation which can be identified in transient pump-probe signals.
We introduce a concept which allows to study the nonlinear optical response of conjugated polymers taking into account many-body effects of the excitation process. The formation of charge transfer excitons and the creation of lattice distortions are studied in short polymer chains by solving the self consistent equations of motion for the reduced single electron density matrix and the lattice displacement. The coupling of electronic motions to lattice dynamics gives rise to the formation of excitonic polarons, which can be identified in the femtosecond pump-probe signal.
We analyze risks and crises for healthcare providers and discuss the impact of cloud computing in such scenarios. The analysis is conducted in a holistic way, taking into account organizational and human aspects, clinical, IT-related, and utilities-related risks as well as incorporating the view of the overall risk management.
The complexity of providing medical care in a high-tech environment with a highly specialized, limited labour force makes hospitals more crisis-prone than other industries. An effective defence against crises is only possible if the organizational resilience and the capacity to handle crises become part of the hospitals’ organizational culture. To become more resilient to crises, a raised awareness — especially in the area of human resource (HR) — is necessary. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the process robustness against crises through the identification and evaluation of relevant HR crises and their causations in hospitals.
Qualitative and quantitative methods were combined to identify and evaluate crises in hospitals in the HR sector. A structured workshop with experts was conducted to identify HR crises and their descriptions, as well as causes and consequences for patients and hospitals. To evaluate the findings, an online survey was carried out to rate the occurrence (past, future) and dangerousness of each crisis.
Six HR crises were identified in this study: staff shortages, acute loss of personnel following a pandemic, damage to reputation, insufficient communication during restructuring, bullying, and misuse of drugs. The highest occurrence probability in the future was seen in staff shortages, followed by acute loss of personnel following a pandemic. Staff shortages, damage to reputation, and acute loss of personnel following a pandemic were seen as the most dangerous crises.
The study concludes that coping with HR crises in hospitals is existential for hospitals and requires increased awareness. The six HR crises identified occurred regularly in German hospitals in the past, and their occurrence probability for the future was rated as high.
In German hospitals there is a need for optimized crisis- and risk management. About one third of all hospital-acquired patient damages are due to medication errors. The aim of our interdisciplinary project “Risk Management in Hospitals” is to analyze the behavior of the various key players in the fields of medical care, human resources, supply and IT-systems in the context of various simulated risk scenarios as well as to develop adequate risk management tools. In this abstract, the first Results on medication errors are presented.
The first three-dimensional quantum-dynamical ab initio simulation of the large amplitude vibrational dynamics of an Ag3 cluster initiated from its linear transition state is presented. This can be monitored by femtosecond pump-probe negative-ion to neutral-to-positive-ion spectroscopy with zero electron kinetic energy (NeNePo-ZEKE). The time evolution of the representative wavepacket confirms the dynamical effects which have been discovered previously by Wigner-type semiclassical simulations: the initial coherent bending and stretching from linear to near equilateral triangular configuration, followed by intracluster collision and intracluster vibrational relaxation with a weak fractional revival. In addition, the quantum wavepacket shows interferences and spreading.
Theoretical study of femtosecond pump–probe signals of nonstoichiometric alkali halide clusters
(1999)
We present the outline of the ab–initio molecular dynamics method for adiabatic excited states which is suitable to treat the involved excited electronic states simultaneously with the motion of the nuclei. The method allows the simulation of time–resolved pump–probe signals and the analysis of the signals in terms of the underlying nuclear dynamics. Moreover, the timescales of the structural relaxation in excited electronic states vs. intramolecular vibrational relaxation processes can be estimated and the influence of the initial temperature of the cluster can be determined.
The method is applied to the analysis of the timescales as well as of the dynamics of localized/delocalized electronic excitations in the Na2F molecule which represents a test example for nonstoichiometric alkali–halides with one excess electron. The aim is to develop a method for the investigation of time–dependent laser induced processes in clusters which is capable to extract the leading physical effects responsible for the controlled excitation dynamics and for the evolution of the non–equilibrium states.
