Strain effects in phosphorus bound exciton transitions in silicon
2023
Donor spin states in silicon are a promising candidate for quantum information processing. One possible donor spin readout mechanism is the bound exciton transition that can be excited optically and creates an electrical signal when it decays. This transition has been extensively studied in bulk, but in order to scale towards localized spin readout, microfabricated structures are needed for detection. As these electrodes will inevitably cause strain in the silicon lattice, it will be crucial to understand how strain affects the exciton transitions. Here we study the phosphorous donor bound exciton transitions in silicon using hybrid electro-optical readout with microfabricated electrodes. W…
Kohn-Sham Decomposition in Real-Time Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory An Efficient Tool for Analyzing Plasmonic Excitations
2017
The real-time-propagation formulation of time-dependent density-functional theory (RT-TDDFT) is an efficient method for modeling the optical response of molecules and nanoparticles. Compared to the widely adopted linear-response TDDFT approaches based on, e.g., the Casida equations, RT-TDDFT appears, however, lacking efficient analysis methods. This applies in particular to a decomposition of the response in the basis of the underlying single-electron states. In this work, we overcome this limitation by developing an analysis method for obtaining the Kohn-Sham electron-hole decomposition in RT-TDDFT. We demonstrate the equivalence between the developed method and the Casida approach by a be…
Improving sensory quality of food product to meet the elderly’s preferences: which winning strategy?
2014
Having a "good" diet counts as an important factor for healthy ageing. Beyond nutritional aspects, a "good" diet, also contributes to maintain “eating pleasure”, an essential component in food intake mechanism. The present study aims to assess the impact of changes related to texture, taste and flavor on food acceptance in the elderly. The adopted strategy was to orientate the products modifications based on elderly’s expectations. A qualitative approach (focus group and face-to-face interviews) was carried on with a first elderly panel (>65 yo) to collect suggestions about sensory improvements that can be made in a meat dish with a normal texture, in a meat dish with a modified texture and…
Patient satisfaction : results of cluster analysis of finnish patients
2023
Background Healthcare providers must understand patients’ expectations and perceptions of the care they receive to provide high-quality care. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse different clusters of patient satisfaction with the quality of care at Finnish acute care hospitals. Methods A cross-sectional design was applied. The data were collected in 2017 from three Finnish acute care hospitals with the Revised Humane Caring Scale (RHCS) as a paper questionnaire, including six background questions and six subscales. The k-means clustering method was used to define and analyse clusters in the data. The unit of analysis was a health system encompassing inpatients and outpatien…

L'autonomia tributaria e finanziaria della Regione Siciliana ai tempi del c.d. federalismo fiscale
2011
La sentenza n. 116 del 2010 della Corte costituzionale segna un significativo passaggio nella determinazione dell’assetto dei rapporti Stato - Regione Siciliana, comportando un considerevole arretramento dell’esercizio dell’autonomia tributaria e finanziaria di quest’ultima. Le statuizioni espresse dal Giudice delle leggi, al di là delle peculiarità proprie dello speciale regime fiscale della Regione, rivestono grande rilevanza in generale anche per l’attuazione del c.d. federalismo fiscale nel nostro Paese.
Ampliamento del Cimitero della frazione di Grisì a Monreale. Allestimenti espositivi permanenti nella chiesa di San Gaetano e nella Biblioteca dell'A…
2011
Il progetto di ampliamento del cimitero di Grisì, nel Comune di Monreale, oltre a soddisfare le richieste funzionali implicite nel tema progettuale, ha il fine di riproporre quel rapporto solidale che si riscontra tra i manufatti storici, presenti in questo territorio, e il paesaggio agricolo. Nel nuovo cimitero trovano posto un campo d’inumazione e diversi colombari per la tumulazione che assumono diverse configurazioni architettoniche. Lungo il recinto murario, si interseca il volume cubico dell’ossario e si dispone una lunga fascia di servizi. I segni linguistici sono organizzati in modo da creare situazioni di regolarità e di misurata ed elegante compostezza, con sistemi di proporzioni …
Scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships
2017
We discuss and introduce to the schedulingeld a novel, qualitative optimization model - scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships.We introduce a half perimeter proximity measure as an objective of scheduling.We present and evaluate an incremental Sequence Pair neighborhood evaluation algorithm, applicable to both scheduling and rectangle packing problems in VLSI industry. In this paper, we discuss and introduce to the scheduling field a novel optimization objective - half perimeter proximity measure in scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships. The presented approach enables to qualitatively express various reasons of scheduling ce…
Cukrzyca typu 2 i przewlekła choroba nerek jako czynniki rokownicze w ostrym zapaleniu trzustki
2019
Przeprowadzono analizę czynników rokowniczych ostrego zapalenia trzustki (OZT). Dokonano krytycznego przeglądu najważniejszych skali rokowniczych OZT: Apache II, Ransona, BISAP, Sofa, Marshalla. Wskazano na ich ograniczenia, ale i przydatność kliniczną we wczesnej stratyfikacji prognostycznej OZT. W diagnostyce różnicowej należy wyodrębniać etiologię alkoholową i żółciopochodną. Występująca przed zachorowaniem cukrzyca typu 2 i przewlekła choroba nerek znamiennie pogarszają przebieg OZT i powinny być włączone do skali rokowniczych. Wykazano, że obecność cukrzycy z poziomem HBA1C powyżej 6,5% wiąże się ze zwiększoną śmiertelnością wśród chorych na OZT i wydłuża się okres hospitalizacji o 5 d…
