Abushammala, Haneen. "Tuning the multiorbital Mott transition of BaCoS2." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021SORUS100.
Full textIn this thesis we tune the Mott insulating phase of BaCoS2, a playground for the study of electronic correlations in a multiorbital system. We first developed a novel self-flux technique to grow single crystals of improved quality and size. We then confirmed a stable orthorhombic Cmma phase at ambient conditions where the orthorhombic distortion is concomitant to a long-range AFM order, suggesting a scenario of orbital ordering that stabilises this order. Next, we explored the possibility of inducing a metallic state in BaCoS2 using chemical pressure and electronic doping as control parameters. For this goal, we successfully applied HP technique to the synthesis of Ba1−xSrxCoS2 and Ba1−xKxCoS2 samples with x up to 0.07. The partial substitution of Ba for Sr or K is expected to produce chemical pressure or hole-doping, respectively, thus favouring a metallic phase in both cases. We find that both substitutions induce similar structural changes, and a full suppression of the orthorhombic distortion and of the AFM order. However, no indication of metallic properties is found in the Ba1−xSrxCoS2 samples. However, a sizeable value of Sommerfeld coefficient,γ= 5.7mJ mol−1K−2 is found at 7% of K-substitution suggesting a metallic state induced by hole doping

Full textAs a consequence of the so-called “heart valve scandal”, and the reform of the German criminal law on corruption that followed in the wake of the scandal, it has been a criminal offence under sections 331 et seqq. of the German Criminal Code [Strafgesetzbuch – StGB] since 1997 to give bribes to medical practitioners employed in public hospitals, or for such medical practitioners to take bribes. However, until sections 299a et seqq. StGB entered into force on 4 June 2016, acts committed by medical practitioners in private practices were not deemed to be corruption offences under the Criminal Code. This was also affirmed by the case-law of the Grand Criminal Panel of the German Federal Court of Justice [Großer Senat für Strafsachen]. A topic that has been repeatedly discussed in connection with the aforementioned issue is whether the practice of granting benefits in healthcare might constitute an offence of embezzlement. The first part of this dissertation provides an answer to that question. The second part focuses on the significance that corruption provisions have for the topic discussed herein. Following the initial analysis of the issue of embezzlement mentioned, this issue is expanded by a discussion of the overall topic in the context of corruption offences, supplemented by an assessment of the topic in the light of new legislation introduced. An analysis of the topic chosen for this dissertation shows how important it is to study the relevant legal provisions of the law on statutory health insurance in order to be able to carry out an assessment of the topic from the perspective of criminal law. This applies all the more so in cases where a breach of social law and/or the law of professional rules and regulations might have consequences under criminal law, and the faulty application of applicable legal rules from legal areas outside criminal law would inevitably also lead to wrong conclusions being drawn on the basis of criminal law. The case-law of the German Federal Court of Justice [Bundesgerichtshof] on so-called “embezzlement by medical practitioners in private practice” [Vertragsarztuntreue] has been criticised in this respect. The Federal Court of Justice did not take account of the specifics of German social security law in a sufficiently diligent manner, and instead used outdated case-law of the German Federal Social Court [Bundessozialgericht] as a basis for its criminal-law assessment—precedents that were overruled by the Federal Social Court itself many years ago. This dissertation shows that this does not meet the requirements of the German Federal Constitutional Court [Bundesverfassungsgericht] and that such an approach is incompatible with requirements under social and criminal law. Finally, the limits of admissible prescription-related remuneration by health insurances are discussed and demonstrated from a critical, future-oriented perspective, together with the significance these limits have from a criminal law perspective. The significance of such limits is discussed using as an example a selective-agreement model designed to promote so-called “biosimilar medicines” by paying medical practitioners a percentage of the savings achieved in return for practitioners prescribing such medicines rather than more expensive ones. The circumstances discussed illustrate that the monetary influence that health insurances exert over the way in which medical practitioners in private practice prescribe such things as medicines may have consequences under criminal law if such influence may lead to competition being distorted. In the light of the above, health insurances should not be provided with additional criminal-law-related exceptional provisions that would enable them to exert further influence over the neutrality of decision-making in the area of medical prescriptions.

Cloud computing is an emerging and efficient computing model for processing and storing large amounts of data. Cloud storage service providers use heterogeneous storage devices as a way to extend the resources of a storage system by considering the best tradeoff between maintenance and performance costs. Cloud object storage systems emerge as scalable solutions and efficient data managers using heterogeneous devices, in terms of storage capacity and performance. In the cloud, as the workload changes, dynamic matching between load and storage device capabilities is needed to improve resource utilization and optimize the overall performance of an object storage system. Thus, load balancing techniques are crucial for redistributing the workload among processing and storage nodes to avoid underloading or overloading. Most conventional load balancing strategies in cloud storage systems are only aware of the storage capacity of storage devices or make assumptions about them being homogeneous, resulting in degradation of the storage system. To address these limitations, this work presents a non-intrusive load balancing strategy called BACOS that takes advantage of storage devices with heterogeneous performance in a cloud storage system. The results of the experimental evaluation confirm that BACOS can improve the performance of an object storage system in terms of response time, throughput and success rate of read/write requests in scenarios that vary the workload.
Computação em nuvem é um modelo de computação emergente e eficiente para processar e armazenar grandes quantidades de dados. Provedores de serviços de armazenamento em nuvem utilizam dispositivos de armazenamento heterogêneos como forma de ampliar recursos de infraestrutura de um sistema de armazenamento considerando a melhor compensação entre os gastos de manutenção e desempenho. Os sistemas de armazenamento de objetos em nuvem surgem como soluções escaláveis e eficientes para gerenciar dados usando dispositivos heterogêneos, no que diz respeito à capacidade de armazenamento e ao desempenho. Na nuvem, uma vez que a carga de trabalho muda dinamicamente, a atribuição dinâmica da carga de trabalho para as capacidades dos dispositivos de armazenamento é feita para melhorar a utilização dos recursos e otimizar o desempenho geral de um sistema de armazenamento de objetos. Assim, as técnicas de balanceamento de carga são cruciais para redistribuir a carga de trabalho entre os nós de processamento e armazenamento para evitar subutilização ou sobrecarga de recursos. A maioria das estratégias convencionais de balanceamento de carga em sistemas de armazenamento em nuvem priorizam o espaço de armazenamento ao invés do desempenho dos dispositivos de armazenamento ou fazem suposições sobre os dispositivos serem homogêneos, resultando na degradação do desempenho do sistema de armazenamento. Para atender essas limitações, este trabalho apresenta uma estratégia de balanceamento de carga não intrusiva denominada BACOS. A estratégia BACOS tira proveito da heterogeneidade dos dispositivos de armazenamento pertencente a um sistema de armazenamento de objetos na nuvem com o intuito de melhorar o desempenho geral do sistema. Os resultados da avaliação experimental confirmam que a estratégia BACOS consegue melhorar o desempenho de um sistema de armazenamento de objetos em termos de tempo de resposta, vazão e taxa de sucesso de requisições do tipo leitura/escrita em cenários variando a carga de trabalho.

Resumo: Este trabalho procura assinalar traços da filosofia de Francis Bacon na Enciclopédia francesa do século XVIII. Estes traços se manifestam nas teses que defendem o intercurso entre avanço técnico e progresso do conhecimento, e o ideal de ciência como conquista indefinida que escapa ao gênio individual, e sobrevive como patrimônio comum da humanidade. Compreensivamente, mostra que o ¿utilitarismo¿ de Francis Bacon e dos enciclopedistas na verdade se fundamenta na idéia capital de que a existência produz-se mediante engenho
Abstract: This work search after some traces of Francis Bacon¿s thought in eighteenth century¿s French Encyclopaedia. These traces are manifest on the thesis that defend the intercourse between technical improvement and advancement of learning, and the ideal of science as an undefined acquisition not due to individual genius, but thought of as mankind¿s common inheritance. As a whole, it points that Bacon¿s and enciclopaedists¿ ¿utilitarianism¿ is in fact grounded on the capital idea that existence is made through ingenuity

Full textIn his model of the six epochs of the history of science, Alexander von Humboldt sees scarcely any lights able to break through the occidental darkness in the time between the scientific prime of the arabic world and the expeditions of Columbus. The most prominent of these few pioneers to Humboldt is the fransciscan monc Roger Bacon who excelled in almost all disciplines and emphasized on the unity of the sciences. Humboldt honors the Englishman with detailed examinations of his Opus maius in Kosmos and also in his popular speeches in the Berlin Singakademie as well as in the examen critique on the history of geography of the New World.

Full textRESUMO Esta dissertaÃÃo tem por objetivo investigar a abordagem da relaÃÃo entre conhecimento e aÃÃo polÃtica articulada por Francis Bacon (1561-1626). As obras O Progresso do Conhecimento (1605) e Novum Organum (1620) receberÃo especial atenÃÃo. A renovaÃÃo metodolÃgica advogada por Bacon serà situada no contexto de oposiÃÃo ao legado aristotÃlico pelo humanismo renascentista e pela reforma protestante. A utilizaÃÃo da terminologia aristotÃlica no pensamento de Bacon serà apresentada como uma fonte de confusÃo. Neste sentido, o conceito baconiano de forma serà indicado como um caso clarÃssimo de confusÃo terminolÃgica. A despeito de suas confusÃes terminolÃgicas e dos seus erros conceituais, o mÃtodo indutivo proposto por Bacon fomentou gigantescas modificaÃÃes na construÃÃo do saber cientÃfico e influenciou significativamente a vida da sociedade. E mais: ele associou o avanÃo do conhecimento com o progresso social. Pode-se objetar que o pensamento de Bacon tende a subordinar a Ãtica à tÃcnica, mas nÃo se pode negar que contribuiÃÃo dele à essencial para a compreensÃo da RevoluÃÃo Industrial, do Iluminismo, do Positivismo e das propostas contemporÃneas de engenharia social.
This dissertation aims at investigating the account of the relationship between knowledge and political action articulated by Francis Bacon (1561-1626). Special attention will be devoted to baconâs works The Advancement of Learning (1605) and Novum Organum (1620). The methodological renewal advocated by Bacon will be situated in the context of exposition to the aristotelian legacy generated by the Renaissance Humanism and the Protestant Reformation. The use of Aristotelian terminology in Baconâs thought will be presented as a source of confusion. In this sense, the baconian concept of form will be indicated as a clear-cut case of terminological confusion. Despite its terminological confusions and conceptual problems the method of induction proposed by Bacon fostered massive changes in scientific knowledge and signifintly influenced the life of society. In the addition to this, Bacon associated the advancement of knowledge with the idea of social progress. It may be objected that Baconâs thought tends to subordinate ethics to technical knowledge, but there is no doubt that his contribution is essential for the understanding of the Industrial Revolution, the Enlightenment, The Positivism and the contemporary proposals of social engineering
