Superconducting transition edge bolometer for high-flux neutron detection.

Needs for neutron detection and monitoring in high neutron flux environments are increasing in several different fields. A completely solid-state, current mode bolometric detector is constructed as a solid substrate transition edge sensor based on a high-T[Formula: see text] superconducting meander. The detector consists of four individual pixels of which three pixels include [Formula: see text] neutron absorption layers.

Working environment and fatigue among fishers in the north Atlantic: a field study.

Background: This study investigates how Faroese deep-sea fishers' exposure to work-related stressors affects their sleep, sleepiness, and levels of fatigue. Being constantly exposed to the unpredictable and harsh North Atlantic Ocean, having long work hours and split sleep for up to 40 days consecutively, they will arguably suffer from fatigue.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and fifty seven fishers participated in this study, and data was gathered throughout 202 days at sea.

Impact of work exposure on cognitive performance in Faroese deep-sea fishers: a field study.

Background: This study examines the impact of work-related exposure on the cognitive performance of Faroese deep-sea fishers. Faroese fishing crews work long hours in demanding and noisy environments amidst highly uncertain and challenging weather conditions. These factors, together with compromised patterns of rest and sleep, are known to increase fatigue.

Sleep, Sleepiness, and Fatigue on Board Faroese Fishing Vessels.

Purpose: Faroese fishers have four times more accidents than workers on land. The aim was to understand fishers' fatigue better and how their work and sleep patterns influenced their sleepiness levels and cognitive performance.

Materials And Methods: A total of 157 Faroese fishers wore wrist-worn actigraphs at sea and one week on land and filled in sleep and sleepiness diaries during the trip.

Decomposing the Bragg glass and the peak effect in a Type-II superconductor.

Adding impurities or defects destroys crystalline order. Occasionally, however, extraordinary behaviour emerges that cannot be explained by perturbing the ordered state. One example is the Kondo effect, where magnetic impurities in metals drastically alter the temperature dependence of resistivity.
