High-precision measurement of the mass difference between 102Pd and 102Ru
2019
Abstract The Q-value for the neutrinoless double electron capture on 102Pd, Qϵϵ(102Pd), is determined as the atomic mass difference between 102Pd and 102Ru. A precise measurement of the Qϵϵ(102Pd) at the SHIPTRAP Penning trap showed a more than 10σ deviation to the adopted Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME) value. The reliability of the SHIPTRAP measurement was challenged because the AME value was based on numerous experiments including β and electron capture decays and very precise (n, γ) data, all agreeing with each other. To solve the discrepancy, the Qϵϵ(102Pd) has now been determined with the JYFLTRAP Penning trap at the IGISOL facility in the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyva…
High yield neutron generator based on a high-current gasdynamic electron cyclotron resonance ion source
2015
In present paper, an approach for high yield compact D-D neutron generator based on a high current gasdynamic electron cyclotron resonance ion source is suggested. Results on dense pulsed deuteron beam production with current up to 500 mA and current density up to 750 mA/cm2 are demonstrated. Neutron yield from D2O and TiD2 targets was measured in case of its bombardment by pulsed 300 mA Dþ beam with 45 keV energy. Neutron yield density at target surface of 109 s 1 cm2 was detected with a system of two 3 He proportional counters. Estimations based on obtained experimental results show that neutron yield from a high quality TiD2 target bombarded by Dþ beam demonstrated in present work accele…
Turning Heads on the Dance Floor: Synchrony and Social Interaction Using a Silent Disco Paradigm
2023
Music and dance appear to have a social bonding effect, which some have theorized is part of their ultimate evolutionary function. Prior research has also found a social bonding effect of synchronized movement, and it is possible that interpersonal synchrony could be considered the “active ingredient” in the social bonding consequences of music or dance activity. The present study aimed to separate the effects of synchrony from other factors associated with joint experience of dancing by using a “silent disco” manipulation, in which the timing of a musical stimulus was varied within a dyad in a freestyle dance setting. Three conditions were included: synchrony, tempo-shifted (in which the …
Design of mobile phones for older adults : An empirical analysis of design guidelines and checklists for feature phones and smartphones
2017
Design guidelines and checklists are suggested as a useful tool in the development and evaluation of interface design of mobile phones for older adults. Given the intense evolution of mobile phone design, understanding how the design guidelines and checklists have taken into account the advances in mobile phone usability for older adults is important for their correct application and future development. Thus, this study explores the usability dimensions of mobile phone design for older adults and the related changes in terms of time and the type of device (feature phones vs. smartphones) based on an expert coding of the eight mobile phone design guidelines and checklists for older adults pu…
Efectos mutacionales, evolución y adaptación en bacteriófagos de RNA y DNA de cadena sencilla
2012
Las dificultades que plantean los virus para su control se deben, en gran medida, a su rápida evolución. Factores responsables de esta rápida evolución son su rápida tasa de replicación, sus elevados tamaños poblacionales y su elevada variabilidad genética. Estos dos últimos factores aumentan la efectividad de la selección natural, permitiendo a los virus escapar no sólo a las defensas del hospedador, sino también a los fármacos antivirales o de las vacunas. La mutación es la fuente última de variación genética. Por ello, la tasa de mutación es un parámetro fundamental para entender la evolución. No obstante, la relación entre tasa de mutación y adaptación no es inmediata. Por un lado, la p…
Aussprachetraining im DaF-Unterricht in der Lehr- und Lernwelt 3.0.
2018
Everyone who acquires a new language at school or elsewhere has the right to learn good pronunciation. As phonetic errors are foreseeable, this paper begins by delineating deviations in (co)articulation and prosody which are typical of Italian learners of German, with the aim of examining how far these specific, predictable phonetic problems are treated in German textbooks used in Italy. The study shows that even modern textbooks do not consider phonetics in a satisfactory way. Today’s learning world 3.0 – not only interactive, but also shaped for the individual learner – is characterized by a growing number of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and special Computer Assisted Pronunc…
Finding a way to win: on competition, internationalization and MOOCs
2014
In the context of the ever growing use of technology through e-learning and open-courseware, my paper presents a project that is being carried out by a consortium of twelve partners and is coordinated by the University of Maastricht. This project sets out to examine the evolution of the innovative modes of higher education provision in teaching and learning across Europe, the motivations for their emergence as well as the ways in which higher education management and governance have responded and adapted to such new modes of provision. In the highly competitive sector of HE, while attempting to enhance the quality of teaching and learning, the increasing range of teaching and learning provi…
Adaptació del coeficient de GINI per a la formulació d'un coeficient de desigualtat lingüística
2020
El text adapta el Coeficient de Gini per elaborar un Coeficient de Desigualtat Lingüística (CDL) i aplicar-lo al cas valencià, tenint en compte les Taxes de Competència i les Taxes d?Ús. Es desenvolupen dos models, un basat en corbes parabòliques i un altre basat en corbes exponencials per al cas de disposar d?una parella de dades (x,y). Es calculen els Coeficients de Desigualtat Lingüística en ambdós casos per a les regions sociolingüístiques valencianes. Finalment es compara el resultat amb una corba general per al cas valencià
Terapia por restricción del lado sano
2022
Este vídeo forma parte de una serie de vídeos que muestran diversas estrategias de intervención fisioterápica en personas con secuelas tras ictus. En él se detallan aspectos relevantes a considerar en la aplicación de la terapia por restricción del lado sano; y se muestran, en un caso clínico de hemiparesia izquierda, algunos ejemplos de tareas adaptadas incluidas en esta terapia.
Adaptation and face and linguistic validation of the modified KWAZO and EATS- 2D instruments into Finnish circumstances
2011
Asiakastyytyväisyys ja elämänlaatu ovat terveydenhuollon näyttöön perustuvien käytäntöjen tärkeitä tulosmuuttujia. Alun perin hollantilainen "Kwaliteit van Zorg" (KWAZO)- mittari mittaa asiakastyytyväisyyttä apuvälinepalveluihin. Efficiency of Assistive Technology and Services- kysymyksiä (EATS-2D) voidaan käyttää osana standardoitua terveyteen liittyvää elämänlaatumittaria, EQ-5D:tä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli: 1) kääntää ja adaptoida modifioitu KWAZO (nimettynä uudelleen Satisfaction of Assistive Technology Services, SATS) ja EATS-2D Suomen olosuhteisiin, 2) tutkia, miten mittari kuvaa sisältöaluettaan ja kielellistä validiteettia ja 3) tutkia kahden eri tutkimusmenetelmän vastau…
