Interdisciplinary nature. This class would combine mathematical literacy with verbal/written communication skills in a way that is often not done in math-based science classes. By requiring students to think about math with "simple" physical applications in mind, this course will help them to better think of math conceptually as opposed to procedurally. The mathematical literacy and scientific communication skill this class would teach are critical for being a broad-minded and deep thinker. Students of all disciplines should know how to write about their observational findings and how these findings compare and contrast to the physical world. Further, gaining a better understanding of how models are used, like the ones discussed in this class, is important in other areas where rational and informed decision-making is imperative. For example, understanding how data gathered for Covid-19 or political polling purposes around elections, and why these data should be met with some level of scrutiny, is needed when trying to make decisions about one's personal life ("Should I/my family go outside?") or policy ("Should masks be mandated by law?"). Any math discussed in this course will never be above algebra in nature, so it will be accessible to students from all disciplines. Describe the ways in which the course is different in content, goals, and objectives from a Program course in a discipline: Although some courses in Biology and GNM discuss infectious diseases, none discuss the mathematical modeling of disease spread (i.e. epidemiological modeling). There would likely be some overlap with a couple GMN courses in the historical discussions of diseases, however, the focus of the discussions here would be to help develop/understand the models being used to study the spread of the diseases, as opposed to the diseases themselves. For students who are more mathematically inclined, or who are simply interested in epidemics, this class would offer an opportunity to conceptually explore models often only seen in very specific undergraduate majors or graduate studies. Further, some of the models use the physics of collisions and/or require a moderate amount of programing experience to put into code. Although the coding aspect would not be the primary focus of the course, the methods used to get numerical results would be discussed conceptually.

Interdisciplinary nature. Project SiUCs represents a combination of modern quantum optics in the USC regime, with condensed matter physics, quantum information, material science and microwave engineering. The project is therefore highly interdisciplinary in its nature. In practice, it brings together the areas of quantum information processing with superconducting circuits and USC physics by means of the novel circuit elements represented by the superinductors. As stated in Sec. 1.1, the limitations in existing theoretical models have been one of the factors preventing in-depth explorations of USC physics. SiUCs recognises this deficit and devotes a significant theoretical effort to produce novel, realistic models of experiments through its network of theory-experiment partners (see figure with partner connectivity map in Sec. 3.1). Therefore, the experimental developments will go hand-in-hand with a new theoretical formulation to control USC systems, including dissipation and decoherence. In the experimental front, the most important effort combining different disciplines is the introduction of superinductors to the field of USC physics. This crossing of different areas will be facilitated with the presence of experts from both sides (KIT, and IFAE, CNRS, respectively). The range of applications emerging from the core enabling technology of superinductors is truly interdisciplinary: from dynamical control for quantum simulators to photodetectors in the microwave regime. This combination of simultaneously focusing on fundamental physics and potential applications establishes a credible path towards supporting efforts in other large-scale projects such as OpenSuperQ. The established collaborations among partners (see Sec. 3.4 in the full proposal) will facilitate exchange of ideas and personnel. Tasks have been consistently designed with a strong focus on the enabling capabilities contributed by each partner, benefitting from each other in a healthy cross-fertilisation. New synergies will be developed among partners having had no previous interactions, particularly with those having no experience with USCs (KIT, SAS). Another important synergetic aspect in SiUCs is the role played by partners fabricating devices (CNRS, KIT) and those receiving them (IFAE, SAS), creating a connecting channel which will remain active beyond this project in future collaborations.

  • DISCIPLINARY AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES 16.1 The Employee is subject to the Company's disciplinary and grievance procedures, copies of which are available from the Group HR Manager. These procedures do not form part of the Employee's contract of employment. 16.2 If the Employee wants to raise a grievance, he may apply in writing to the CEO in accordance with the Company's grievance procedure. 16.3 If the Employee wishes to appeal against a disciplinary decision, he may apply in writing to the CEO in accordance with the Company's disciplinary procedure. 16.4 The Company may suspend the Employee from any or all of his duties for no longer than is necessary to investigate any disciplinary matter involving the Employee or so long as is otherwise reasonable while any disciplinary procedure against the Employee is outstanding. 16.5 During any period of suspension: a) the Employee shall continue to receive his basic salary and all contractual benefits in the usual way and subject to the terms of any benefit arrangement; b) the Employee shall remain an employee of the Company and bound by the terms of this agreement; c) the Employee shall ensure that the CEO knows where he will be and how he can be contacted during each working day (except during any periods taken as holiday in the usual way); d) the Company may exclude the Employee from his place of work or any other premises of the Company; and e) the Company may require the Employee not to contact or deal with (or attempt to contact or deal with) any officer, employee, consultant, client, customer, supplier, agent, distributor, shareholder, adviser or other business contact of the Company.

  • Disciplinary Information There are no legal or disciplinary events to disclose in response to this item.

  • Disciplinary Grievances If the grievance is not resolved at Step 2, the Union may file a request for mediation with the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) in accordance with WAC ▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇, with a copy to the Office of Financial Management/SHR/Labor Relations Section (OFM/SHR/LRS) and the Human Resources Office within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Step 2 decision. In addition to all other filing requirements, the request must include a copy of the grievance and all previous responses.

  • Disciplinary Appeals All forms of disciplinary action which are not appealable to the Civil Service Commission or the courts, except written or oral reprimands and Forms 475, shall be subject to review through Steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the grievance procedure.

  • Discipline Procedure 1. Disciplinary action may be imposed for violation of written rules and regulations as set forth by the Board, incompetence, inefficiency, dishonesty, drunkenness, immoral conduct, insubordination, discourteous treatment of the public, neglect of duty, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, any other failure of good behavior, or conviction of a felony. 2. No employee shall be disciplined without first having had the opportunity for a hearing, if the employee so requests, with an OAPSE representative of his/her choice present. The employee shall be given a written statement containing the charges and the time and place of the hearing. The written statement shall notify the employee of his/her rights to OAPSE representation. The employee must be given the opportunity to sign the statement acknowledging receipt of the statement and date received. Under emergency conditions as determined by the supervisor (including, but not limited to, health and/or safety of the employee or other employees; blatant insubordination; or refusal to work), the supervisor may immediately suspend an employee without pay for a period of up to three (3) work days without the formal hearing described above. An opportunity for a formal hearing with the supervisor must be provided within the suspension period. Failure to provide an opportunity for a hearing during the suspension period shall preclude the right of further discipline for the offense causing the initial suspension. Emergency suspensions will not be subject to Section 6 of this Article. 3. Disciplinary action of less than discharge should generally be progressive and corrective in nature. A. Disciplinary actions shall be grievable. This Section shall supersede existing state law governing termination of employment (O.R.C. 3319.081). B. In determining progressive and corrective action, just cause shall be construed and limited to the nature and seriousness of the offense, the effect the alleged conduct has on the Board’s operation, the discipline or lack thereof used in other similar situations known to the Board, and the appropriateness of the proposed penalty in view of the record and length of service of the charged employee. The enumeration of these factors is not intended to preclude either the exercise of good and sound business judgment or to minimize the importance of an employee’s property interest in his job.
