Materials Research for Group IV Semiconductors: Growth, Characterization and Technological Developments

Group IV semiconductors lie at the heart of many electronic and photovoltaic devices. Issues associated with bulk silicon continue to be important, but substantial fundamental challenges also exist for other group IV bulk materials and associated alloys, nanostructures, nanocomposites, thin/thick films, and heterostructures. Advances in device performance are underpinned by new defect engineering procedures, development of novel growth techniques, and improvements in advanced diagnostic tools. Point and extended defects remain at the centre of interest, as do surfaces, and in some cases their engineering represents an option for new functionalities. This special issue contains 16 technical articles arising from selected presentations at Symposium I of the European Materials Research Society Spring Meeting held in Strasbourg, France from 18th to 22nd June 2018. This symposium was the third in the “Materials Research for Group IV Semiconductors” series. The symposium attracted 113 presenting authors from 22 countries, and 120 presentations were scheduled over five days (21 invited talks, 35 contributed talks, and 64 posters). Graduate Student Awards were presented to Audrey Morisset (Université Grenoble Alpes − INES, France) whose paper is published in this special issue, and Michael Seifner (TU Wien, Austria). In this special issue there are two feature articles from invited speakers in the silicon field. One by Hourai et al. reviews, from an industrial perspective, the development of point defect-controlled Czochralski silicon crystals and their use in power devices. The second by Kolevatov et al., focusses on the interaction between hydrogen and vacancy-related defects in silicon. The other papers cover a range of topics including the fundamentals of heat flow and transfer in semiconductors, the fundamental properties of point-like defects, surface passivation, potential new manufacturing methods, and a variety of novel heterostructures. Thanks are due to the symposium co-organisers (Chioko Kaneta, Gudrun Kissinger, Leo Miglio and Deren Yang), the members of our Scientific Committee, and the paper reviewers. We were particularly saddened to learn that Prof. Bengt Svensson, a Scientific Committee member and committed supporter of the symposium series over many years, died shortly after the symposium. An obituary to Bengt written by his colleagues and friends also appears in this special issue. John D. Murphy Guest Editor and Principal Symposium Organizer

Building Graduate Student Capacity as Future Researchers Through a Research and Training Award Program.

With the global shortage of doctor of philosophy-prepared nursing faculty and an aging nursing professorate, the nursing profession is at risk of having fewer nurses doing research and fewer faculty to supervise the next generation of nurse researchers. A research training award for graduate nursing students was piloted with the intent of providing a research-intensive experiential learning opportunity that would contribute to graduate students' future roles as nurse researchers. This article describes the program design, implementation, and evaluation. The Graduate Student Research Training Awards afforded students an opportunity to develop research and methodologic skills and achieve student-centered outcomes. These awards build their capacity as future researchers by both empowering them and increasing their confidence in research. The input and evaluation from graduate students was integral to the success of the program. Graduate student research training awards can be a valuable experiential learning opportunity in research intensive graduate programs. [J Nurs Educ. 2016;55(5):284-287.].

Credential Privilege or Cumulative Advantage? Prestige, Productivity, and Placement in the Academic Sociology Job Market

Using data on the population of US sociology doctorates over a five-year period, we examine different predictors of placement in research-oriented, tenure-track academic sociology jobs. More completely than in prior studies, we document the enormous relationship between PhD institution and job placement that has, in part, prompted a popular metaphor likening academic job allocation processes to a caste system. Yet, we also find comparable relationships between PhD program and both graduate student publishing and awards. Overall, we find results more consistent with PhD prestige operating indirectly through mediating achievements or as a quality signal than as a “pure prestige” effect. We suggest sociologists think of stratification in their profession as not requiring exceptionalist historical metaphors, but rather as involving the same ordinary but powerful processes of cumulative advantage that pervade contemporary life.

History of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology

Scientists studying diseases of invertebrates in the USA, Europe, and Asia began to meet at international congresses in the 1950s and early 1960s, and soon recognized that they needed both a society and a journal where their common interests could be discussed and their findings presented. Edward A. Steinhaus played a major role in bringing together scientists from across the globe with common interests in these diseases. As a consequence, the Journal of Invertebrate Pathology (then Journal of Insect Pathology) was initiated in 1959 and Steinhaus became its first editor. Along with Albert Sparks he organized a meeting at Seattle, Washington in 1967 that led to the founding of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology with Steinhaus as its first President. The Society held its first meeting at Ohio State University in 1968, and has continued to meet annually. The Society has instituted a Founder’s Lecture series, graduate student awards, and Divisions of Microbial Control, Microsporidia, Bacteriology, Fungi, Viruses, and Nematodes. Members enjoy several social functions at meetings as well as symposia, submitted papers, and poster sessions. The Society for Invertebrate Pathology is a truly international organization which to date has held meetings in 13 countries and 14 US states, usually attended by members from at least 20 countries.

PROGRESSIVE JUMP AND LOWER BODY RESISTANCE TRAINING HIP BONE MASS IN PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN

259 We studied the effects of one year of progressive high-impact (jump) and lower body resistance training on hip, spine and whole body bone mineral density (BMD) in 30-45 year old healthy, premenopausal women. Forty-five women participated in the training program and thirty-seven women (age = 39±5yrs; height = 166.4±6.5cm; weight = 66.7±10.6 kg) completed twelve months of exercise training (retention = 82%). Twenty-eight women were recruited as controls and twenty-six women (age = 41±3yrs; height = 165.1±9.7); weight = 66.8±13.4 kg) completed the year control period (retention = 93%). Controls were matched to the exercise group on hip BMD, age and weight. Baseline values of anthropometric and bone variables were not significantly different between exercisers and controls. Anthropometric variables did not change over the one year intervention. The training program was held three times per week and consisted of 100 jumps and 100 repetitions of a combination of resistance exercises: squats, front, side and back lunges, per session. Intensity of jumps and resistance exercise was increased via the use of weighted vests, and was expressed as a percentage of body weight (%BW). Jump and resistance intensity was progressively increased over the first ten months, and remained at 10%BW for jumps and 13%BW for resistance exercises for the final two months. Pre- and post-training measurements of the greater trochanter (GT) and femoral neck (FN) of the proximal femur, lumbar spine (LS), and whole body (WB) BMD (g/cm2) were measured via DXA Percent change, standard deviations, and significance values are shown in the table below:TableWe conclude that one year of jump and lower body resistance training significantly increases trochanteric bone mass in adult premenopausal women and, if maintained, could reduce fracture risk in later life.
