description: We present the first integrated light, TESS-based light curves for star clusters in the Milky Way, Small Magellanic Cloud, and Large Magellanic Cloud. We explore the information encoded in these light curves, with particular emphasis on variability. We describe our publicly available package ELK, which is designed to extract the light curves by applying principal component analysis to perform background light correction, and incorporating corrections for TESS systematics, allowing us to detect variability on time scales shorter than ~10 days. We perform a series of checks to ensure the quality of our light curves, removing observations where systematics are identified as dominant features, and deliver light curves for 348 previously-cataloged open and globular clusters. Where TESS has observed a cluster in more than one observing sectors, we provide separate light curves for each sector (for a total of 2204 light curves). We explore in detail the light curves of star clusters known to contain high-amplitude Cepheid and RR Lyrae variable stars, and confirm that the variability of these known variables is still detectable when summed together with the light from thousands of other stars. We also demonstrate that even some low-amplitude stellar variability is preserved when integrating over a stellar population.

description: Supersolidity is an intriguing concept. It combines the property of superfluid flow with the long-range spatial periodicity of solids, two properties which are often mutually exclusive. The original discussion of quantum crystals and supersolidity focuses on solid Helium-4 where it was predicted that vacancies could form dilute weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates. In this system, direct observation of supersolidity has been elusive. The concept of supersolidity was then generalized to include other superfluid systems which break the translational symmetry of space. One of such systems is a Bose-Einstein condensate with spin-orbit coupling which has a supersolid stripe phase. Despite several recent studies of this system, the stripe phase has not been observed. Here we report the direct observation of the predicted density modulation of the stripe phase using Bragg reflection. Our work establishes a system with unique symmetry breaking properties. Of future interest is further spatial symmetry breaking through the introduction of vortices, solitons, impurities or disorder.

description: The effect of workpiece motion on the forming velocity is analysed by the finite element method. To study the two factors of workpiece displacement and motional electromotive force, a static model, an incomplete motional model and a complete motional model are created. The incomplete motional model is simulated by the finite element software COMSOL, while the complete motional model is simulated by another finite element software Flux. To ensure the correctness of the model, the static model is created by both softwares. For the specific system treated in this paper, the results show that when the workpiece velocity is below 100 m/s, the workpiece displacement has only a small effect on the forming velocity. But when the workpiece velocity is above 200 m/s, the effect of the workpiece displacement on the forming velocity must be taken into account in the finite element model of the electromagnetic forming process.

description: A non-slip constraint between a particle and a wall is applied at the microscopic level of collision dynamics using the rough sphere model. We analyse the consequences of the translation-rotation coupling of the rough sphere confined between two parallel planar walls and establish that shearing the walls past each other i) preferentially deposits energy into the rotational degree of freedom and ii) results in a bounded oscillation of the energy of the confined particle.

description: Sortase A Inhibitoren: Sortase A (SrtA) aus Staphylococcus aureus ist eine membranverankerte Transpeptidase, welche Vorläufermoleküle oberflächenassoziierter Virulenzfaktoren anhand des Motivs LPXTG erkennt und an der Zelloberfläche verankert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden dem LPXTG-Motiv ähnelnde zyklische Peptidsequenzen hinsichtlich ihrer Interaktion mit SrtA charakterisiert. Ein besonderes Augenmerk lag dabei auf der Relevanz der Peptidzyklisierung für diese Interaktion. Die untersuchten Peptidsequenzen wurden eindeutig als SrtA-Inhibitoren klassifiziert. Es wurden hierzu in vitro Methoden zur Ermittlung der Kd-Werte (10 -94 nM), thermodynamischen Bindungsparameter (ΔH = 10,2 kcal/mol, -TΔS = 0,3 kcal/mol), Bindungsstöchiometrien (N = 1), IC50-Werte (0,4 – 3,7 µM) und des Inhibitionsmechanismuses (langsam reversibel) entwickelt. Zudem wurde ein Flüssigkultur-Assay zur Quantifizierung der in vivo-Bindung der Peptidinhibitoren an S. aureus-Zellen etabliert. Es wurde gezeigt, dass die in vitro Eigenschaften der Untersuchten SrtA-Inhibitoren unbeeinflusst von der Peptidzyklisierung sind. Die in vivo Bindungsaffinität wird hingegen von einer vorhandenen Peptidzyklisierung erhöht. Ovothiol A-Biosynthese: Die Ovothiol A-Biosynthese in E. tasmaniensis beruht auf drei enzymatischen Schritten, einer Synthese, einer ß-Elimination und einer Methylierung (Vogt et al., 2001). In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Produkte eines Ovothiol A Sulfoxidsynthase Gens (OvoA) und eines Ovothiol A ß-Lyase Gens (OvoB) aus E. tasmaniensis charakterisiert. Dem Motiv His170-X3-His174-X-Glu176 der OvoA konnte die Funktion der Eisenkoordination zugewiesen werden. Hierzu wurden die Enzymmutanten OvoAH170A, OvoAH174A und OvoAE176A hergestellt und gezeigt, dass sie jeweils einen vollständigen Aktivitätsverlust aufweisen. Ergänzend wurde die Relevanz des in OvoA konservierten Arg183 untersucht. Hierzu wurden die Mutanten OvoAR183A und OvoAR183K hergestellt. OvoAR183A zeigte einen vollständigen Aktivitätsverlust und OvoAR183K einen erheblichen Aktivitätsverlust. Vermutlich sind an Position 183 also positive Ladungen erforderlich. Für OvoB wurden die Umsatzraten für diverse Substrate bestimmt. Das von OvoA gelieferte Intermediat wurde mit der höchsten Effizienz von OvoB umgesetzt. Es lässt sich schließen, dass es sich bei dem untersuchten Enzym um die gesucht ß-Lyase der Ovothiol A-Biosynthese handelt und diese jedoch eine geringe Substratspezifität aufweist.

A characteristic function approach to the Jaynes-Cummings model revivals

description: A two-level atom interacting with an electromagnetic mode in a cavity experiences population collapses and revivals. They are an indirect signature of the field quantization, and also hold information about the mode. Thus, they may be harnessed for quantum-state reconstruction. In this work, we study the revival structures with the characteristic function approach. The characteristic function is essentially a spectral decomposition of the photon-number probability distribution. Exploiting the characteristic function periodicity, we find that the atomic population inversion can be understood as the result of interference between a set of structures akin to a free quantum-mechanical wave packet, each structure corresponding to snapshots of this packet for different degrees of dispersion. When these structures do not overlap, each of which can be identified to one of the inversion revivals, in which case we may also retrieve the photon-number distribution.

description: Fluid discontinuities, such as shock fronts and vortex sheets, can reflect waves and become unstable to corrugation. Analytical calculations of these phenomena are tractable in the simplest cases only, while their numerical simulations are biased by truncation errors inherent to discretization schemes. The author lays down a computational framework to study the coupling of normal modes (plane linear waves) through discontinuities satisfying arbitrary conservation laws, as is relevant to a variety of fluid mechanical problems. A systematic method is provided to solve these problems numerically, along with a series of validation cases. As a demonstration, it is applied to magnetohydrodynamic shocks and shear layers to exactly recover their linear stability properties. The straightforward inclusion of nonideal (dispersive, dissipative) effects notably opens a route to investigate how these phenomena are altered in weakly ionized plasmas.

description: INGARCH models for time series of counts arising, e.g., in epidemiology assume the observations to be Poisson distributed conditionally on the past, with the conditional mean being an affinelinear function of the previous observations and the previous conditional means. We model outliers within such processes, assuming that we observe a contaminated process with additive Poisson distributed contamination, affecting each observation with a small probability. Our particular concern are additive outliers, which do not enter the dynamics of the process and can represent measurement artifacts and other singular events influencing a single observation. Such outliers are difficult to handle within a non-Bayesian framework since the uncontaminated values entering the dynamics of the process at contaminated time points are unobserved. We propose a Bayesian approach to outlier modeling in INGARCH processes, approximating the posterior distribution of the model parameters by application of a componentwise Metropolis- Hastings algorithm. Analyzing real and simulated data sets, we find Bayesian outlier detection with non-informative priors to work well if there are some outliers in the data.

description: This study analyzes the process of moving towards program budgeting in Ethiopian public agencies and its implication on the budgeting system. The study focuses on identifying reform needed for program budgeting system in Ethiopian public agencies at federal ministries level, analyzing the attitude of employees towards new budgeting system at the federal offices of the ministry. It also focuses on analyzing the challenges and implication of program budgeting system in public agencies at federal office of the ministries. The study employed the mixed approach that is qualitative and quantitative research design to describe the respondent's responses and to answer the research questions. Specifically, the data was collected through semi-structured questionnaire which contains both open-ended and closed questions. The study descriptively analyzes the data elicited from surveys and documents. The data was presented in the form of table and analyzed using frequency and percentage. Then the data interpreted based on the analysis. Lastly, the findings derived from the interpretations. The result of this combined research methodology reveal that there is no need of new organizational design for program budgeting. However, the study identified that reform in financial management, linking program structure with the objectives of organizational structure, and new technologies are needed for the implementation of program budgeting. The study also reveals that there is a confusion and challenges in implementing program budgeting. The study also identifies manger's responsibilities in the system and implication of program budgeting on the public expenditure. The study suggests the effective way which could be taken by the concerned body and Ministry of Finance and Economic Development in particular, to make the transition to program budgeting and implementation of program budgeting. Finally, the thesis forwarded: How the program based budgeting system will increase the ioutput of the public agency?, Evaluation of program budgeting in relation to strategic policy of the government, analysis and evaluation of analytical part of program budgeting process in public agencies, and the area of incentives and motivation to employees in program budgeting, legislative aspect and administration aspect of program budgeting as the suggestion for further research

description: We investigate the effect of self-propulsion on a mean-field order-disorder transition. Starting from a $φ^4$ scalar field theory subject to an exponentially correlated noise, we exploit the Unified Colored Noise Approximation to map the non-equilibrium active dynamics onto an effective equilibrium one. This allows us to follow the evolution of the second-order critical point as a function of the noise parameters: the correlation time $τ$ and the noise strength $D$. Our results suggest that $τ$ is a crucial ingredient that changes the location of the critical point but, remarkably, not the universality class of the model. We also estimate the effect of Gaussian fluctuations on the mean-field approximation finding an Ornstein-Zernike like expression for the static structure factor at long wave lengths. Finally, to assess the validity of our predictions, we compare the mean-field theoretical results with numerical simulations of active Lennard-Jones particles in two and three dimensions, finding a good qualitative agreement at small $τ$ values.

description: Joining by electromagnetic forming is a non-contact assembling method that is especially suitable for connections in aluminum space frame structures. By reason of increased joint strength along with lower charging energies, form-fit connections are favored over interference-fit connections for this joining process. In contrast to conventional form-fit concepts, in which the inner joining partner has grooves or pockets, the use of knurled surfaces offers several advantages like easier machinability or the resistance against combined axial and torsional loadings. The objective of this paper is to identify the influencing geometry and process parameters on the joint strength of tubular joints using mandrels with knurled surfaces, with tube and mandrel being made of the same aluminum alloy AA6060-T6. For that reason, experimental studies were conducted: In addition to pull-out tests to determine the axial strength of joints, first computed tomographic images and, afterwards, micrographs of joined components were produced to analyze the contact zone between tube and mandrel and the deformation behavior of the inner joining partner by non-destructive and destructive means. Based on the detailed knowledge of the influencing variables, guidelines for joint and process design are derived.

description: The $^3$He($α$,$γ$)$^7$Be reaction plays a major role both in the BBN producing the majority of the primordial $^7$Li, and in the pp-chain, where it is the branching point. As a few-nucleon system, this reaction is often used to validate ab-initio theoretical calculations and/or test R-matrix theory and code implementations. For the latter, experimental data in an extended energy range is of crucial importance to test the fit and extrapolation capabilities of the different codes. The $^3$He($α$,$γ$)$^7$Be reaction cross section has been measured by several groups up to the first resonance ($E_{c.m.} \approx 3$ MeV) in the reaction. However, only one dataset exists above the $^7$Be proton separation threshold measured in a narrow energy range ($E_{c.m.} = 4.0-4.4$ MeV). In this work we extend the available experimental capture cross section database to the energy range of known $^7$Be levels. The activation method was used. The experiment was performed using a thin-window gas cell with two high-purity Al foils as entrance and exit windows. The activity of the $^7$Be nuclei implanted in the exit/catcher foil was measured by detecting the yield of the emitted $γ$~rays using shielded high-purity germanium detectors. New experimental $^3$He($α$,$γ$)$^7$Be reaction cross section data were obtained for the first time in the $E_{c.m.}=4.3-8.3$ MeV energy region. The new dataset with about 0.2 MeV step covers the energy range of known levels and particle separation thresholds. No prominent structures are observer around the $^7$Be levels. The reaction cross section is slowly increasing with increasing energy. Above the $^6$Li$+p_1$ threshold, a decrease starts in the cross section trend. The overall structure of the cross section suggest a broad resonance peaking around $E_x=7.5$ MeV $^7$Be excitation energy, with a width of 8 MeV.

description: We present a theory of the scaling behavior of the thermodynamic, transport and dynamical properties of a three-dimensional metal governed by $d$-dimensional fluctuations at a quantum critical point, where the electron quasiparticle effective mass diverges. We determine how the critical bosonic order parameter fluctuations are affected by the effective mass divergence. The coupled system of fermions and bosons is found to be governed by two stable fixed points: the conventional weak-coupling fixed point and a new strong-coupling fixed point, provided the boson-boson interaction is irrelevant. The latter fixed point supports hyperscaling, characterized by fractional exponents. The theory is applied to the antiferromagnetic critical point in certain heavy fermion compounds, in which the strong-coupling regime is reached.

description: Predator and prey commonly use infochemicals to detect each other and they are of paramount importance for survival. In terrestrial ecosystems, infochemicals are a vital source of information for a majority of organisms and are detected primarily through olfaction. Although a plethora of studies regarding predator-prey interactions exist, there is a paucity of information about predator-prey interactions in the Queensland fruit fly (Q-fly), Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) and the infochemicals used by the flies to detect predators and vice-versa. To date, there is no advancement in this field due to the lack of knowledge on natural predators of Q-flies. Chemical identification of infochemicals from predators or prey will facilitate study of predator-prey interaction and risk of predation, and when the prey are pests, will potentially provide environmentally friendly means of pest control. Studies in this thesis were conducted with the aim of identifying potential predators, understanding behaviours of Q-flies and selected predators and prospecting behaviour changing infochemicals involved in the interaction of Q-flies and their predators. We also aim to explore the use of predator-released kairomones in fruit fly management. Four potential predators (3 spiders & 1 ant) were selected based on their prevalence in the natural habitat of Q-flies. Flies detected and responded differentially (motility, foraging & oviposition) to olfactory cues from selected predators. Subsequent investigations identified a compound from the headspace volatiles of green tree ants that repelled ovipositing flies. Simulated field trials demonstrated the effectiveness of the identified compound in repelling ovipositing Q-flies. Further, a chemically defined oviposition-stimulant of Q-fly was identified to aid in lab repellency and oviposition deterrent assays. Conclusively, the aims of the project were achieved by identifying repellents from predators and further the compounds were formulated as a possible pest control product and tested in the field.
A Critical Examination of Fiscal Autonomy of Addis Ababa City Administration

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis paper describes the fiscal autonomy of Addis Ababa City Government using primary and secondary sources of data. The constitutional and legislative frameworks have been critically examined in order to determine whether they would create conducive environment within which Addis Ababa would be able to exercise optimum degree of autonomy in its local government. The study also incorporates close analysis of the revenue sources and the degree of control the City has over these sources; spending autonomy and fiscal importance as well as transfers and borrowing frameworks of the City. The findings of the study indicate existence of enabling environment in which Addis Ababa City Government can enjoy better degree of fiscal autonomy. With substantial expenditure responsibilities and productive revenue sources, Addis Ababa City government has the opportunity to strengthen its fiscal position. However, the increasing trend of its actual expenditure, Addis Ababa City Government is required to take appropriate actions to increase its revenue and involve the community in service provision process. It is also found in practice that except differences in their constitutional statues, Addis Ababa and Regions tend to have similar expenditure responsibilities and revenue powers. The major difference in their IGFRs goes to the size and system of Federal government transfers. While Regional governments are found highly dependent on block grant transfers, Addis Ababa is found relatively deprived of the transfer system. The study concludes that Addis Ababa City Government has better comparative and competitive advantages to exploit the geographic, economic and administrative opportunities to enhance its fiscal autonomy. Finally, the paper forwards important recommendations to policy makers and government officials as well as to prospective researchers

description: Observational data from astronomical imaging surveys contain information about a variety of source populations and environments, and its complexity will increase substantially as telescopes become more sensitive. Even for existing observations, measuring the correlations between point-like and diffuse emission can be crucial to correctly inferring the properties of any individual component. For this task information is typically lost, either because of conservative data cuts, aggressive filtering or incomplete treatment of contaminated data. We present the code PCAT-DE, an extension of probabilistic cataloging designed to simultaneously model point-like and diffuse signals. This work incorporates both explicit spatial templates and a set of non-parametric Fourier component templates into a forward model of astronomical images, reducing the number of processing steps applied to the observed data. Using synthetic Herschel-SPIRE multiband observations, we demonstrate that point source and diffuse emission can be reliably separated and measured. We present two applications of this model. For the first, we perform point source detection/photometry in the presence of galactic cirrus and demonstrate that cosmic infrared background (CIB) galaxy counts can be recovered in cases of significant contamination. In the second we show that the spatially extended thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect signal can be reliably measured even when it is subdominant to the point-like emission from individual galaxies.

description: Wir brauchen gut ausgebildete und flexibel einsetzbare Ingenieure, um die Konkurrenzfähigkeit unserer Region zu sichern. Eine fundierte und moderne Mathematikausbildung für Ingenieure ist daher unverzichtbar. Da die mathematischen Vorkenntnisse der Studienanfänger schlecht sind und tendenziell weiter sinken, müssen wir uns Gedanken sowohl zur Verbesserung der Vorkenntnisse als auch zur weiteren Qualifizierung der Mathematikausbildung durch Einsatz neuer Lehrformen und neuer Hilfsmittel machen. Die Vorträge des Minisymposiums stellen einen guten Querschnitt zu dieser Problematik dar. Sie knüpfen an das an, was im norddeutschen Raum in den Workshops "Mathematik für Ingenieure" seit dem Jahre 2000 diskutiert und ausgewertet wird. Da die Probleme in ganz Deutschland und Europa ähnlich sind, gibt es von Anfang an Bemühungen, den Erfahrungsaustausch mit anderen Zentren zu vernetzen. Das Gottlob-Frege-Zentrum der Hochschule Wismar ist Sattelite Centre of UICEE (siehe Literatur). Das Minisymposium stellt ein wichtiges Bindeglied auf diesem Wege dar. Die Organisatoren werden auch auf künftigen Jahrestagungen eine moderne Mathematikausbildung für Ingenieure propagieren.

description: Due to complexity and dynamics of construction work, resource, and cash flows, poor management of them usually leads to time and cost overruns, bankruptcy, even project failure. Existing approaches in construction failed to achieve optimal control of resource flow in a dynamic environment with uncertainty. Therefore, this paper introducess a model and method to adaptive control the resource flows to optimize the work and cash flows of construction projects. First, a mathematical model based on a partially observable Markov decision process is established to formulate the complex interactions of construction work, resource, and cash flows as well as uncertainty and variability of diverse influence factors. Meanwhile, to efficiently find the optimal solutions, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based method is introduced to realize the continuous adaptive optimal control of labor and material flows, thereby optimizing the work and cash flows. To assist the training process of DRL, a simulator based on discrete event simulation is also developed to mimic the dynamic features and external environments of a project. Experiments in simulated scenarios illustrate that our method outperforms the vanilla empirical method and genetic algorithm, possesses remarkable capability in diverse projects and external environments, and a hybrid agent of DRL and empirical method leads to the best result. This paper contributes to adaptive control and optimization of coupled work, resource, and cash flows, and may serve as a step stone for adopting DRL technology in construction project management.
On the junction physics of Schottky contact of (10, 10) MX2 (MoS2, WS2) nanotube and (10, 10) carbon nanotube (CNT): an atomistic study

description: Armchair nanotubes of MoS2 and WS2 offer a sizeable band gap, with the advantage of a one dimensional (1D) electronic material, but free from edge roughness and thermodynamic instability of nanoribbons. Use of such semiconducting MX2 (MoS2, WS2) armchair nanotubes (NTs) in conjunction with metallic carbon nanotubes (CNT) could prove useful for nanoelectronics and photonics applications. In this work atomistic simulations of MoS2 NT-CNT and WS2 NT-CNT junctions are carried out to study the physics of such junctions. With density functional theory (DFT) we study the carrier density distribution, effective potential, electron difference density, electron localization function, electrostatic difference potential and projected local density of states of such MX2 NT-CNT 1D junctions. Thereafter the conductance of such a junction under moderate bias is studied with non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) method. From the forward bias characteristics simulated from NEGF, we extract diode parameters of the junction. The electrostatic simulations from DFT show the formation of an inhomogeneous Schottky barrier with a tendency towards charge transfer from metal and chalcogen atoms towards the C atoms. For low bias conditions, the ideality factor was calculated to be 1.1322 for MoS2 NT-CNT junction and 1.2526 for the WS2 NT-CNT junction. The Schottky barrier heights displayed significant bias dependent modulation and are calculated to be in the range 0.697 - 0.664eV for MoS2 NT-CNT and 0.669-0.610 eV for the WS2 NT-CNT respectively.
