Abstract

China and Africa have long shared a history of allegiance and contact points through global political forces from the time of colonialism and the Cold War. With China's rise as the new superpower, its presence in Africa has expanded, leading to significant economic, geopolitical and cultural shifts. While issues such as trade, aid and development have received much attention, Chinese and African encounters through the lens of the visual arts and material culture is a neglected field. Visualising China in Southern Africa: Biography, Circulation, Transgression is a ground-breaking volume that addresses this deficit through engaging with the work of contemporary African and Chinese artists while analysing broader material production that prefigures the current relationship. The essays are wide-ranging in their analysis of ceramics, photography, painting, etching, sculpture, film, performance, postcards, stamps, installations, political posters, cartoons and architecture. Visualising China in Southern Africa confines its focus to southern Africa, yet even within this region, the context is complex. Ethnicity and nationalism, the lingering influence of Cold War allegiances and colonial configurations all continue to play a role. The various visual cultures discussed in this volume emphasise the commonality of these categories, but also point towards other shared histories that transcend the nation-state category. The collection includes scholarly chapters, photo essays, interviews, and artists'personal accounts, organised around four themes: material flows, orientations and transgressions, spatial imaginaries, and biographies. The artists, photographers, filmmakers, curators and collectors in this volume include: Stary Mwaba, Hua Jiming, Anawana Haloba, Gerald Machona, Nobukho Nqaba, Marcus Neustetter, Brett Murray, Diane Victor, William Kentridge, Kristin NG-Yang, Kok Nam, Mark Lewis, the Chinese Camera Club of South Africa, Wu Jing, Henion Han and Shengkai Wu.

65. Using efficiency frontiers to visualise suppliers’ performance capabilities: moving beyond supplier rationalisation

Author

Aydas, Osman, Ross, Anthony, Parker, Hamieda, and Alavi, Sepideh

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper offers a framework for analysis to benefit buying firms as they evaluate current and prospective suppliers, and to assist supplying organisations in becoming more competitive. It explores the notion of performance improvement frontiers for suppliers, in the context of developing suppliers rather than rationalising or pruning them. Dual-efficiency (strengths and weaknesses) frontiers are constructed using inverted efficiency techniques. Unilateral and bilateral approaches to the construction of these frontiers are examined. It is found that certain information content of bilaterally determined DEA assurance ranges can serve as a compromise between the buyer’s ideal performance priorities and a supplier’s capability-based priorities. For this reason, it represents a reasonable and jointly determined set of performance expectations for buyers to recommend to the supplier set. For the suppliers themselves, the bilateral ranges contribute a prioritised behavioural focus to develop or improve their capabilities on specific performance attributes.

Ross (1[dagger]), Vaidyanathan Jayaraman (2) Keywords: Health Care Supply Chains; Heuristic Procedure; and Mathematical Models Abstract: ABSTRACT Recent articles in the Wall Street Journal summarize the state of business practice in American hospitals by shedding light on the state of supply chain management practices and foci in today's health care supply chains. In health care, the single largest cost after labor is materials, and it has been documented that health care facilities can reduce the environmental impacts of the products and services they consume before regulatory problems arise or waste disposal costs increase by focusing on their upstream activities. Health care systems around the country consume significant quantities and varieties of products within the health delivery processes. Solving these environmental problems requires a much broader view involving collaborative efforts of professionals from different areas of health care to meet these challenges. The purchasing function bridges the gaps by providing a healthy dialogue on key environmental attributes within the health care supply chain. The concept of bundling new with refurbished products is gaining a lot of attention in the health care supply chain. This research describes a health care purchasing problem for bundling new and refurbished products of the type facing a growing number of large health care providers, and then proposes a methodology for evaluating the complex tradeoffs involved in bundling decisions for refurbished health care products. By exploiting some useful properties of the problem structure, our results provide buyers with useful insights for examining and selecting suppliers who are willing to offer bundles of new and refurbished products.

Buffa (2), Cornelia Droge (3), Donald Carrington (4) Keywords: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA); Strengths and Weaknesses Performance Frontiers; and Supplier Relationship Management Abstract: ABSTRACT This article presents a consensus-building methodology to implement dyadic performance measurement. It focuses on transmuting supplier performance and buyer performance metrics on several important attributes into actionable relationship management plans using Clark's (1996) theory of performance frontiers. Access to the supplier performance management program of a Fortune 100 corporation was granted to the research team. Direct observation of practice and in-depth discussions with several managers provided a roadmap for investigating both the literature on quantitative evaluation methods and the empirically derived theory on buyer-supplier relationships from several perspectives. This study describes a multiphase, iterative framework that uses current methods and theory on dyadic buyer-supplier evaluation to consider: (i) evaluation criteria and their importance; (ii) whether the improvement focus should be on strengths, weaknesses, or both; and (iii) whether the referent role supplier should be the ideal supplier, best supplier, or best-in-strategic-group supplier in the focal supply base. We illustrate a unifying approach by reporting results from a large buyer and 35 of its key suppliers. This research makes the case for managing supplier relationships through the dyadic performance lens. The outputs from this framework provide individual supplier improvement paths which are actionable prescriptions for each buyer-supplier dyad, as well as recommendations for strategic group formation.

Abstract

Floods remain a wicked-problem and are becoming more destructive with widespread ecological, social and economic impacts. The problem is particularly acute in modified formerly pristine, mountainous river-catchments where plausible assumptions of risk-behaviour relevant to flood exposure and vulnerability are crucial for robust early warning system development. In particular more focused conversation with the community-at-risks is required. In such context, we advocate the use of a SMART -approach to facilitate bottom-up initiatives to facilitate development of inclusive and purposeful early warning systems that benefit the community-at-risk by engaging them every step of the way along with including other stakeholders at multiple-scales of operations.

Abstract

Physical review / D 102(7), 072005 (1-14) (2020). doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.072005, We present various properties of the production of the $X(3872)$ and $ψ(2S)$ states based on $10.4 fb^{−1}$ collected by the D0 experiment in Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV$. For both states, we measure the nonprompt fraction $f_{NP}$ of the inclusive production rate due to decays of $b$-flavored hadrons. We find the $f_{NP}$ values systematically below those obtained at the LHC. The fNP fraction for $ψ(2S)$ increases with transverse momentum, whereas for the $X(3872)$ it is constant within large uncertainties, in agreement with the LHC results. The ratio of prompt to nonprompt $ψ(2S)$ production, $(1−f_{NP})/f_{NP}$, decreases only slightly going from the Tevatron to the LHC, but for the $X(3872)$, this ratio decreases by a factor of about 3. We test the soft-pion signature of the $X(3872)$ modeled as a weakly bound charm-meson pair by studying the production of the $X(3872)$ as a function of the kinetic energy of the $X(3872)$ and the pion in the $X(3872)π$ center-of-mass frame. For a subsample consistent with prompt production, the results are incompatible with a strong enhancement in the production of the $X(3872)$ at the small kinetic energy of the $X(3872)$ and the π in the $X(3872)π$ center-of-mass frame expected for the $X$+soft-pion production mechanism. For events consistent with being due to decays of $b$ hadrons, there is no significant evidence for the soft-pion effect, but its presence at the level expected for the binding energy of 0.17 MeV and the momentum scale $Λ=M(π)$ is not ruled out., Published by Inst.302363, Melville, NY

Abstract

Organizations increasingly emphasize the use of information technology in the procurement process. An integrative model of e-procurement adoption that captures its antecedents. two types of e-procurement use, and their respective effects on relationship development and perceived efficiency gains are proposed and empirically tested using the data collected from senior managers in four technology-intensive industries. Our findings indicate that the use of coordination e-procurement applications has both direct and indirect effects on perceived efficiency gains, while transactional application use can directly lead to efficiency gains. In addition, the use of e-procurement applications is strongly influenced by organizational learning ability and normative pressures. The findings provide a new perspective for managers in their future implementation of e-procurement applications. Index Terms--E-procurement adoption, information technology (IT), supply management.

Abstract

Referenceless proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift thermometry provides a means to measure temperature changes during minimally invasive thermotherapy that is inherently robust to motion and tissue displacement. However, if the referenceless method is used to determine temperature changes during prostate ablation, phase gaps between water and fat in image regions used to determine the background phase can confound the phase estimation. We demonstrate an extension to referenceless thermometry which eliminates this problem by allowing background phase estimation in the presence of phase discontinuities between aqueous and fatty tissue. In this method, images are acquired with a multiecho sequence and binary water and fat maps are generated from a Dixon reconstruction. For the background phase estimation, water and fat regions are treated separately and the phase offset between the two tissue types is determined. The method is demonstrated feasibile in phantoms and during in vivo thermal ablation of canine prostate. Index Terms--Interventional, magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), prostate, temperature, thermal ablation, thermometry.

China and Africa have long shared a history of allegiance and contact points through global political forces from the time of colonialism and the Cold War. With China's rise as the new superpower, its presence in Africa has expanded, leading to significant economic, geopolitical and cultural shifts. While issues such as trade, aid and development have received much attention, Chinese and African encounters through the lens of the visual arts and material culture is a neglected field. Visualising China in Southern Africa: Biography, Circulation, Transgression is a ground-breaking volume that addresses this deficit through engaging with the work of contemporary African and Chinese artists while analysing broader material production that prefigures the current relationship. The essays are wide-ranging in their analysis of ceramics, photography, painting, etching, sculpture, film, performance, postcards, stamps, installations, political posters, cartoons and architecture. Visualising China in Southern Africa confines its focus to southern Africa, yet even within this region, the context is complex. Ethnicity and nationalism, the lingering influence of Cold War allegiances and colonial configurations all continue to play a role. The various visual cultures discussed in this volume emphasise the commonality of these categories, but also point towards other shared histories that transcend the nation-state category. The collection includes scholarly chapters, photo essays, interviews, and artists'personal accounts, organised around four themes: material flows, orientations and transgressions, spatial imaginaries, and biographies.

Abstract

We present a study of the inclusive production in $p \overline p $ collisions of the pentaquark states $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ with the decay to the $J/\psi p$ final state previously observed by the LHCb experiment. Using a sample of candidates originating from decays of $b$-flavored hadrons, we find an enhancement in the $J/\psi p$ invariant mass distribution consistent with a sum of $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$. The significance, with the input parameters set to the LHCb values, is $3.0\sigma$. This is the first confirmatory evidence for these pentaquark states. We measure the ratio $N_{\rm prompt}/N_{\rm nonprompt}=0.05 \pm 0.39$ and set an upper limit of 0.8 at the 95\% credibility level. The ratio of the yield of the $P_c(4312)$ to the sum of $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ is less than 0.6 at the 95\% credibility level. The study is based on $10.4~\rm{fb^{-1}}$ of data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider., Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures

Abstract

The introduction outlines the authors’ interpretation of transregionalisation in the Asia-Africa context and fleshes out how it relates to the various chapters in the volume. Theoretically, the chapter emphasises the processual nature of transregionalisation, particularly the way in which it complicates and interrogates fixed territorial notions such as the nation-state, but also the way in which it challenges given global institutional imaginaries, such as the BRICS and South–South cooperation. It also stresses the importance of scale in the analysis, not only in dividing conceptualisation into the global, regional and local, but also in the sense of thinking about transregionalisation as the production of a ‘third space’—a liminal category which emerges in excess of region or locale A and B. The introduction then goes on to apply these considerations to the three sections of the book: “Situating African-Asian Encounters Globally”, “Challenging Asia-Africa Grand Narratives” and “Embedding African-Asian Transregionalisation”.

91. Scale and Agency in China’s Belt and Road Initiative: The Case of Kenya

Abstract

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a vast infrastructure and development project spanning a large swathe of earth’s surface. In order to get an analytical handle on such a large project, this paper examines the impact of the BRI through the prism of a major infrastructure project currently taking place in Kenya on the East coast of Africa, namely the LAPSSET (Lamu-South Sudan-Ethiopia) corridor. While the project has been heralded by local officials as an economic game-changer for the country, it has mobilised a series of social responses, including discourses on corruption and the fostering of political factionalism, as well as anxieties surrounding environmental impacts and local livelihoods. In discussing these issues from a local perspective, it is noteworthy that the question of Chinese agency, rather than looming in the foreground, recedes far into the backdrop. Such observations raise questions of scale and agency in relation to the BRI: in its broadest sense, a Chinese-branded geopolitical strategy becomes, in a narrower sense, a reterritorialisation of domestic politics and the environment.

93. Oxidation of Semiconductors and Semimetals by Supersonic Beams of O2 with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Visualization

Abstract

The research presented in this dissertation examines the oxidation of semiconductor and semimetal surfaces using a novel, one-of-a-kind instrument that combines a supersonic molecular beam with an in-line scanning tunneling microscope (STM) in ultra-high vacuum. This new approach to surface reaction dynamics provides spatio-temporal information on surface oxidation over nanoscopic and mesoscopic length scales. We have uncovered the kinetic and morphological effects of oxidation conditions on three technologically relevant surfaces: Si(111)-7×7, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), and GaAs(110). A complete understanding of the oxidation mechanism of these surfaces is critical due to their technological applications and roles as model systems. Samples were exposed to O2 with kinetic energies from 0.4-1.2 eV and impingement angles 0-45° from normal, with STM characterization between exposures. In some cases, we were able to monitor the evolution of specific features by revisiting the same nanoscopic locations. Our study of Si(111)-7×7 revealed two oxidation channels, leading to the formation of dark and bright reacted sites. The dark sites dominated the surface and exhibited almost no site selectivity while the bright sites preferred the corner sites of the 7×7 unit cell. Our observations suggest that two adsorption pathways, trapping-mediated and direct chemisorption, occur simultaneously. On HOPG, we found that different oxygen energies, incident angles, and surface temperatures produce morphologically distinct etching features: Anisotropic channels, circular pits, and hexagonal pits. Reaction probability increased with beam energy and demonstrated non-Arrhenius behavior with respect to surface temperature, peaking at around 1375 K. Finally, oxidation of GaAs(110) was found to proceed by two morphologically distinct, competing mechanisms: a homogeneous process leading to layer-by-layer oxide growth, and a heterogeneous process with oxide islands nucleating from surface defects. The rates of both mechanisms change with O2 kinetic energy, with homogeneous oxidation dominating at lower energies (1.0 eV). In all three cases multiple oxidation mechanisms existed simultaneously on the surface, which could only be distinguished with exacting control over reaction conditions and high spatial resolution. The results obtained in this work provide vital information about the morphological evolution and kinetics of semiconductor and semimetals, offering a comprehensive overview of the spatio-temporal correlations that govern oxidation dynamics on surfaces.

Abstract

Photo-detection in the wavelength range 1850 to 2000 nm using evanescently-coupled germanium detectors grown on silicon waveguides is described. Devices were fabricated at a silicon photonics foundry using a process flow associated with operation in the O , C and L bands, and as such offer a solution for extended wavelength detection which is readily available. Intrinsic sensitivity is via indirect band transitions, which is enhanced by tensile strain and we postulate that it may be further enhanced by defects which arise from the thermal processes associated with Ge on Si growth. The responsivity of p-i-n detectors is 20 mA/W at 1850 nm falling to 5 mA/W at 2000 nm, for a detector length of 50 μm. Responsivity is suppressed by electrical doping in the germanium detector which provides parasitic absorption from free carriers. Modifications to the current design are suggested such that integrated germanium p-i-n detectors, directly grown on silicon waveguides would be suitable for high-bandwidth photo-detection up to at least a wavelength of 2000 nm. A Separate-Absorption-Charge-Multiplication Avalanche Photo-Detector is fabricated exploiting the same indirect transition. This detector has a responsivity of 0.31 A/W at 1850 nm and 0.08 A/W at 1970 nm, for a detector length of only 14 μm.

Abstract

We study the production of the exotic charged charmonium-like state $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ in $p \bar p$ collisions through the sequential process $\psi(4260) \rightarrow Z_c^{\pm}(3900) \pi^{\mp}$, $Z_c^{\pm}(3900) \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^{\pm}$. Using the subsample of candidates originating from semi-inclusive weak decays of $b$-flavored hadrons, we measure the invariant mass and natural width to be $M=3902.6^{+5.2}_{-5.0}{\rm \thinspace (stat)}^{+3.3}_{-1.4}{\rm \thinspace (syst)}$ MeV and $\Gamma=32 ^{+28}_{-21}{\rm \thinspace (stat)} ^{+26}_{-7}{\rm \thinspace (syst)}$ MeV, respectively. We search for prompt production of the $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ through the same sequential process. No significant signal is observed, and we set an upper limit of 0.66 at the 95\% credibility level on the ratio of prompt production to the production via $b$-hadron decays. The study is based on $10.4~\rm{fb^{-1}}$ of $p \overline p $ collision data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider., Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures. Accepted by Phys. Rev. D

96. An evaluation of new heuristics for the location of cross-docks distribution centers in supply chain network design

Abstract

This paper addresses an evaluation of new heuristics solution procedures for the location of cross-docks and distribution centers in supply chain network design. The model is characterized by multiple product families, a central manufacturing plant site, multiple cross-docking and distribution center sites, and retail outlets which demand multiple units of several commodities. This paper describes two heuristics that generate globally feasible, near optimal distribution system design and utilization strategies utilizing the simulated annealing (SA) methodology. This study makes two important contributions. First, we continue the study of location planning for the cross-dock and distribution center supply chain network design problem. Second, we systematically evaluate the computational performance of this network design location model under more sophisticated heuristic control parameter settings to better understand interaction effects among the various factors comprising our experimental design, and present convergence results. The central idea of the paper is to evaluate the impact of geometric control mechanism vis-a-vis more sophisticated ones on solution time, quality, and convergence for two new heuristics. Our results suggest that integrating traditional simulated annealing with TABU search is recommended for this supply chain network design and location problem.

Abstract

The phosphorylation sites on the delta subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) on intact cultured myotubes were identified to determine the function of the phosphorylation pathway on the redistribution of AChR during organogenesis. Enzyme inhibition and activation studies revealed that protein kinase C phosphorylates serine residues at positions 378, 393 and 450 of the delta subunit of AChR. The implications of these findings are discussed.

98. Reconfiguring Transregionalisation in the Global South : African-Asian Encounters

Author

Subjects
Interregionalism--Developing countries
Abstract

This volume examines the Africa-Asia relationship from a transregional perspective, namely as a set of emergent social, political and economic practices spanning a number of analytical and spatial scales. Drawing on a host of countries from both regions, the contributions illustrate how encounters increasingly transcend fixed territorial categories at local, national and regional levels. While large-scale political and economic considerations tend to dominate in Asia-Africa related literature—for instance, in China-Africa, BRICS and South-South discourses—the current volume seeks to foster dialogue between these broader levels of analyses and more localized social practices and experiences, including the role of civil society, cultural production and migration. With an emphasis on the “trans” aspects of inter-regional exchange, the volume contributes to a better understanding of new forms of space-making between these two increasingly important regions.
