This discussion begins with an introduction by faculty presenters currently on the journey toward tenure and those recently tenured. The panelists intend to cover topics including tips for surviving the first year, finding time for research, planning and preparing for your tenure review, and managing balance. How might faculty carve out the necessary time to cultivate an active research program, especially at teaching institutions? What materials should faculty collect for presentation in their tenure case file? How might faculty manage success in various professional expectations with regard to research, teaching, and service? How might faculty deal with the potential pitfalls of departmental and institutional politics? Ideas, experiences, and questions from discussion attendees are more than welcome.

Most of the derivative pricing models are developed in the jump diffusion models, and many literatures assume those jumps are diversifiable. However, we find many risk cannot be avoided through diversification. In this paper, we extend the Jarrow and Yildirim model to consider the existence of systematic jump risk in nominal interest rate, real interest rate and inflation rate to derive the no-arbitrage condition by using Esscher transformation. In addition, this study also derives the value of TIPS and TIPS European call option. Furthermore, we use the econometric theory to decompose TIPS market price volatility into a continuous component and a jump component. We find the jump component contribute most of the TIPS market price volatility. In addition, we also use the TIPS yield index to obtain the systematic jump component and systematic continuous component to find the systematic jump beta and the systematic continuous beta. The results show that the TIPS with shorter time to maturity are more vulnerable to systematic jump risk. In contrast, the individual TIPS with shorter time to maturity is more vulnerable to systematic jump. Finally, the sensitive analysis is conducted to detect the impacts of jumps risk on the value of TIPS European call option.

O poli(3- hexiltiofeno) (P3HT) e o 6,13-(triisopropilsililetinil)pentaceno (TP) estão entre os semicondutores orgânicos mais utilizados. O TP tem como característica a formação de estruturas cristalinas, e desse modo, apresenta mobilidade muito maior que o P3HT, no entanto é difícil de obter filmes com boa morfologia e resultados reprodutíveis. Visando um material semicondutor que apresente mobilidade significativamente melhor que a do P3HT e uma morfologia melhor que a do TP, estudou-se compósitos a partir da mistura destes materiais (P3HT:TP) para aplicação em transistores orgânicos de efeito de campo (OFETs), utilizando óxido de alumínio anodizado (Al2O3) tratado com HMDS como dielétrico de gate. Para análise da morfologia dos compósitos semicondutores de P3HT:TP usou-se microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), microscopia de força atômica (AFM) e microscopia óptica (MO). Análise óptica foi feita através de medidas de fotoluminescência (PL) e de tempo de decaimento por fotoluminescência. Espectroscopia Raman e FTIR foram utilizadas para análises estruturais. No modo transistor a caracterização foi feita através de curvas de saída e transferência. Através das caracterizações elétricas determinou-se os parâmetros do semicondutor, tais como, mobilidade, voltagem limiar de chaveamento e razão entre o estado ligado e desligado. A morfologia da blenda semicondutora apresentou características específicas de cada material, ressaltando a formação de aglomerados. Observou-se diferenças bastantes consideráveis na morfologia do compósito em função da variação do solvente e da cinética de deposição dos filmes. Imagens de MEV mostram regiões cristalinas do TP dispersas na matriz polimérica do P3HT, onde o tamanho, forma e distribuição dos cristalitos dependem do tratamento dado à superfície do isolante. O aumento da concentração de TP dificulta a formação de compósitos com boas características. A melhor mobilidade foi obtida com o compósito 50P3HT:50TP, apresentando valores na ordem de 10- 3 cm2V -1 s -1 . / One of the current challenges of organic electronics is the development of semiconductors with high mobility to form films with good morphology when deposited/printed by solution, resulting in good uniformity and reproducibility of the devices. The poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and 6,13-(triisopropilsililetinil)pentacene (TP) are among the most widely used organic semiconductors. The TP films are constituted by crystalline lamellar structures, and thus has greater mobility than the P3HT, however, it is difficult handling it to obtain films with good morphology and reproducible results. Targeting a semiconductor material with significantly better mobility than that of P3HT and better morphology than that of TP, we studied composites of these materials (P3HT: TP) for using in organic field effect transistors (OFETs). The transistor was prepared depositing the solution of the semiconductor composite, by spin coating, on the aluminium oxide, obtained by anodization and treated with HMDS, followed by the thermal evaporation of gold on the top, to form the drain and source electrodes. For analysis of the morphology of the composites semiconductors (P3HT: TP) was used scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical microscopy (OM). Optical analysis was performed using photoluminescence (PL) measurements and decay time by photoluminescence. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy were used to structural analysis. In mode transistor, characterization was performed using output and transfer curves. Through the electrical characterizations determined the semiconductor parameters such as mobility, threshold-switching voltage and the ratio between the current in “on” and “off” states. The morphology of the semiconductor composite presented specific characteristics of each material, emphasizing the formation of agglomerates. It has been observed quite considerable differences in the morphology of the composite depending on the solvent and the variation of the film deposition kinetics. SEM images show crystalline regions TP dispersed in the polymeric matrix of P3HT, where the shape, size and distribution of crystallites depend on the treatment of the surface of the dielectric. The increase in TP concentration hinders the formation of composites with good characteristics. The best mobility was obtained with the composite 50P3HT: 50TP, with values in the order of 10- 3 cm2V -1 s -1 .

Les membranes polymères sont actuellement élaborées par des procédés de séparation de phase impliquant l'utilisation de solvants organiques en grande quantité. Dans cette étude, un nouveau procédé d'élaboration de membrane a été développé en substituant les solvants organiques par l'eau, donc en utilisant un polymère hydrosoluble. Ce procédé, appelé LCST-TIPS, consiste à induire une séparation de phase par augmentation de la température au-delà de la température critique du système polymère/eau, la LCST. Afin de figer la structure de la membrane et la rendre insoluble en milieu aqueux, une réticulation des chaines de polymère doit être réalisée. Dans cette thèse, le système alcool polyvinylique (PVA)/eau a été utilisé et une réticulation chimique a été mise en œuvre en utilisant le glutaraldéhyde. La séparation de phase a été étudiée par analyse UV, turbidimétrie et diffusion de lumière et l'étude de la réticulation a été étudiée en mesurant les temps de prise en gel par rhéologie. Des membranes ont été élaborées en couplant la séparation de phase, la réticulation et l'évaporation du solvant ; les propriétés morphologiques des membranes ont été corrélées aux conditions opératoires choisies. Les chemins de composition ont été simulés en modélisant les transferts de matière et ont été reliés aux cinétiques de réticulation afin de mieux comprendre les morphologies membranaires obtenues. Les propriétés fonctionnelles des membranes PVA ont été évaluées par filtration d'eau après ajout d'un agent porogène (le dextrane) dans le collodion. / Polymeric membranes are mostly prepared by phase separation processes requiring high quantities of organic solvents. A new process of membrane preparation is developed in this work and aims at replacing the organic solvents by water, using water soluble polymer. This process, called LCST-TIPS process, consists in coupling a phase separation by increasing temperature until a critical temperature (Lower Critical Solution Temperature – LCST). The cross-linking of the polymer chains has to be performed to obtain insoluble membrane. The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/water system was used in this work and a chemical cross-linking using glutaraldehyde in acid medium was performed to fix the membrane structure. First, phase separation and cross-linking were studied separately by UV analysis, turbidimetry and light scattering and by monitoring the gelation during cross-linking using rheological measurements. Membranes were then prepared by coupling the whole phenomena, i.e. phase inversion, cross-linking, solvent evaporation and the effect of formulation and process parameters was studied on PVA membrane morphologies. Composition paths were simulated by modeling mass transfer phenomena during elaboration and were linked to the cross-linking kinetics in order to investigate the link between membrane morphologies and operating conditions. Membranes functional properties were then determined by water filtration tests after addition of a porogenic reagent (dextran) in the collodion.

Utgångspunkten i vår uppsats grundar sig i en uppgivenhet och en viss ilska kring det faktum attförändringsarbete i organisationer gång på gång misslyckas. Det är ingen nyhet att vi inte riktigtklarar av förändringsarbete, men trots det så fortsätter man att försöka lösa problemen på sammasätt som innan; genom att producera fler och fler texter, där alla verkar i princip säga samma sak.Antingen formuleras generaliseringar som inte håller i praktiken eller så slänger man ur sig ettgäng självklarheter.Vår frustration över denna insikt fick oss att vilja göra något annat. Vi gav oss ut på enspännande resa för att se om vi kunde få en idé om vad som kunde tänkas saknas i dagensorganisatoriska förändringsarbeten. Eftersom vi inte riktigt visste vad vi sökte men ändå hade entanke om vart vi var på väg så valde vi att använda en abduktiv metod. För att sedan presenteravår resa i skrift använde vi oss av en narrativ metod. Vi ville försöka skriva en text som kan fångaläsarnas intresse och få dem att känna att de kan följa vår resa. För att inte förstöra upplevelsenför läsarna ska vi inte avslöja mer om vart vi landade, utan önskar istället trevlig läsning. / Uppsatsnivå: D
