description: Book review of The Unsheltered Woman: Women and Housing in the 80s: Gender related planning problems seldom receive the attention they deserve. Recent changes in demographic patterns have created a growing interest in the relationships of women to housing, planning and public policy A new book entitled The Unsheltered Woman moves these relationships to the forefront of housing and planning policy. The Unsheltered Woman is a result of the Seminar on Women and Housing sponsored by the Ford Foundation and Hunter College between 1981 and 1983. This collection of essays serves as an insightful contribution to the literature on gender related housing issues.

description: We measured the response of the surface state spectrum of epitaxial Sb2Te3 thin films to applied gate electric fields by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The gate dependent shift of the Fermi level and the screening effect from bulk carriers vary as a function of film thickness. We observed a gap opening at the Dirac point for films thinner than four quintuple layers, due to the coupling of the top and bottom surfaces. Moreover, the top surface state band gap of the three quintuple layer films was found to be tunable by back gate, indicating the possibility of observing a topological phase transition in this system. Our results are well explained by an effective model of 3D topological insulator thin films with structure inversion asymmetry, indicating that three quintuple layer Sb2Te3 films are topologically nontrivial and belong to the quantum spin Hall insulator class.

description: Advances in satellite-based data collection techniques have served as a catalyst for new statistical methodology to analyze these data. In wildlife ecological studies, satellite-based data and methodology have provided a wealth of information about animal space use and the investigation of individual-based animal–environment relationships. With the technology for data collection improving dramatically over time, we are left with massive archives of historical animal telemetry data of varying quality. While many contemporary statistical approaches for inferring movement behavior are specified in discrete time, we develop a flexible continuous-time stochastic integral equation framework that is amenable to reduced-rank second-order covariance parameterizations. We demonstrate how the associated first-order basis functions can be constructed to mimic behavioral characteristics in realistic trajectory processes using telemetry data from mule deer and mountain lion individuals in western North America. Our approach is parallelizable and provides inference for heterogenous trajectories using nonstationary spatial modeling techniques that are feasible for large telemetry datasets.

description: The (r3xr3)R30° honeycomb of silicene monolayer on Ag(111) was found to undergo a phase transition to two types of mirror-symmetric boundary-separated rhombic phases at temperatures below 40 K by scanning tunneling microscopy. The first-principles calculations reveal that weak interactions between silicene and Ag(111) drive the spontaneous ultra buckling in the monolayer silicene, forming two energy-degenerate and mirror-symmetric (r3xr3)R30° rhombic phases, in which the linear band dispersion near Dirac point (DP) and a significant gap opening (150 meV) at DP were induced. The low transition barrier between these two phases enables them interchangeable through dynamic flip-flop motion, resulting in the (r3xr3)R30° honeycomb structure observed at high temperature.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: This paper reports a measurement of the W+b-jets production cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. These results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb-1, collected with the ATLAS detector. Cross-sections are presented as a function of jet multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading b-jet for both the muon and electron decay modes of the W boson. The W+b-jets cross-section, corrected for all known detector effects, is quoted in a limited kinematic range, using jets reconstructed with the anti-k_t clustering algorithm with transverse momentum above 25 GeV and rapidity within +/- 2.1. Combining the muon and electron channels, the fiducial cross-section for W+b-jets is measured to be 7.1 +/- 0.5 (stat) +/- 1.4 (syst) pb, consistent with next-to-leading order QCD calculations within 1.5 standard deviations.

description: We consider functional linear regression models with a functional response and multiple functional predictors, with the goal of finding the best finite-dimensional approximation to the signal part of the response function. Defining the integrated squared correlation coefficient between a random variable and a random function, we propose to solve a penalized generalized functional eigenvalue problem, whose solutions satisfy that projections on the original predictors generate new scalar uncorrelated variables and these variables have the largest integrated squared correlation coefficient with the signal function. With these new variables, we transform the original function-on-function regression model to a function-on-scalar regression model whose predictors are uncorrelated, and estimate the model by penalized least-square method. This method is also extended to models with both multiple functional and scalar predictors. We provide the asymptotic consistency and the corresponding convergence rates for our estimates. Simulation studies in various settings and for both one and multiple functional predictors demonstrate that our approach has good predictive performance and is very computational efficient.

description: This article proposes a bootstrap-assisted procedure to conduct simultaneous inference for high-dimensional sparse linear models based on the recent desparsifying Lasso estimator. Our procedure allows the dimension of the parameter vector of interest to be exponentially larger than sample size, and it automatically accounts for the dependence within the desparsifying Lasso estimator. Moreover, our simultaneous testing method can be naturally coupled with the margin screening to enhance its power in sparse testing with a reduced computational cost, or with the step-down method to provide a strong control for the family-wise error rate. In theory, we prove that our simultaneous testing procedure asymptotically achieves the prespecified significance level, and enjoys certain optimality in terms of its power even when the model errors are non-Gaussian. Our general theory is also useful in studying the support recovery problem. To broaden the applicability, we further extend our main results to generalized linear models with convex loss functions. The effectiveness of our methods is demonstrated via simulation studies. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Increasingly fast development cycles and individualized products pose major challenges for today's smart production systems in times of industry 4.0. The systems must be flexible and continuously adapt to changing conditions while still guaranteeing high throughputs and robustness against external disruptions. Deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which already reached impressive success with Google DeepMind's AlphaGo, are increasingly transferred to production systems to meet related requirements. Unlike supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques, deep RL algorithms learn based on recently collected sensorand process-data in direct interaction with the environment and are able to perform decisions in real-time. As such, deep RL algorithms seem promising given their potential to provide decision support in complex environments, as production systems, and simultaneously adapt to changing circumstances. While different use-cases for deep RL emerged, a structured overview and integration of findings on their application are missing. To address this gap, this contribution provides a systematic literature review of existing deep RL applications in the field of production planning and control as well as production logistics. From a performance perspective, it became evident that deep RL can beat heuristics significantly in their overall performance and provides superior solutions to various industrial use-cases. Nevertheless, safety and reliability concerns must be overcome before the widespread use of deep RL is possible which presumes more intensive testing of deep RL in real world applications besides the already ongoing intensive simulations.

description: We estimate from below the expected Betti numbers of real hypersurfaces taken at random in a smooth real projective n-dimensional manifold. These random hypersurfaces are chosen in the linear system of a large d-th power of a real ample line bundle equipped with a Hermitian metric of positive curvature. As for the upper bounds that we recently established, these lower bounds read as a product of a constant which only depends on the dimension n of the manifold with the Kählerian volume of its real locus RX and d^{n/2}. Actually, any closed affine real algebraic hypersurface appears with positive probability as part of such random real hypersurfaces in any ball of RX of radius O(d^{-1/2}).

description: The planning procedures involved in providing transportation within urbanized areas have undergone a major transformation with the creation of the Intermodai Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA). Both include specific mandates that require administrators to develop a public involvement process that solicits meaningful and timely input from the general public. In accordance with these requirements, the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are required to promote increased community and private sector participation in all areas of transportation planning. To meet these requirements, the Greensboro Department of Transportation has changed their approach towards public involvement through the development of several innovative concepts. This paper will describe several case studies that illustrate these concepts.

description: The locations of many manufacturing companies are distributed globally. This has led to the development of historically grown global production networks whose structure is often very complex, not transparent and influenced by many factors. The high number, as well as the volatility of the influencing factors and dependencies in the network additionally, complicate the network configuration. As a result, adaptation needs and optimization possibilities are recognized too late or not at all. In order to enable early recognition of saving potentials, active monitoring and analysis of changes and dependencies of the influencing factors on the production network is needed. The necessary consideration of a multitude of influencing factors requires further tools to be manageable by the network planner. Therefore, databased methods can be used as support for the forecast and the determination of dependencies of influencing factors. In other research fields, regression analysis is an established method for a databased analysis. This paper focuses on the use of regression analysis in global production networks. It is essential for an accurate analysis, to choose the right regression method out of the many different types in existence. A systematic literature review is conducted to establish an overview of regression methods used in other research fields. A search strategy is developed and implemented and the key findings of the literature review are derived and evaluated. In the second step, a new approach for the pre-selection of suitable regression methods for the determination of interactions and forecasts in global production networks is proposed.

description: We present a combined numerical and analytical study of pattern formation in an active system where particles align, possess a density-dependent motility, and are subject to a logistic reaction. This is a model for suspensions of reproducing bacteria, but it can also represent, in the ordered phase, actomyosin gels in vitro or in vivo. In the disordered phase, we find that motility suppression and growth compete to yield stable or blinking patterns, which, when dense enough, acquire internal orientational ordering, to yield asters or spirals. In the ordered phase, the reaction term leads to previously unobserved never-settling patterns which can provide a simple framework to understand the formation of motile and spiral patterns in actin.

description: One of the core problems of modern statistics is to approximate difficult-to-compute probability densities. This problem is especially important in Bayesian statistics, which frames all inference about unknown quantities as a calculation involving the posterior density. In this article, we review variational inference (VI), a method from machine learning that approximates probability densities through optimization. VI has been used in many applications and tends to be faster than classical methods, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. The idea behind VI is to first posit a family of densities and then to find a member of that family which is close to the target density. Closeness is measured by Kullback–Leibler divergence. We review the ideas behind mean-field variational inference, discuss the special case of VI applied to exponential family models, present a full example with a Bayesian mixture of Gaussians, and derive a variant that uses stochastic optimization to scale up to massive data. We discuss modern research in VI and highlight important open problems. VI is powerful, but it is not yet well understood. Our hope in writing this article is to catalyze statistical research on this class of algorithms. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Der Einfluss von SDH-Untertiteln auf die filmische Narration
Creators: name: Fellner, Vanessa Kerstin
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit setzt sich mit der Untertitelung für Hörgeschädigte (SDH-Untertitelung) auseinander. Sie untersucht den Einfluss von Situations- und Kontextangaben der deutschen, englischen und französischen Untertitel für Hörgeschädigte auf die filmische Narration am Beispiel der Netflix-Serie „Behind Her Eyes“ (2021) anhand des Analysemodells für audiovisuelle Texte nach Chaume (2004). Translationswissenschaftlicher Ausgangspunkt ist die Theorie der Multimodalität. Die SDH-Untertitelung zählt als Teilbereich der Media Accessibility, weshalb auch grundlegende Aspekte der Barrierefreiheit in der vorliegenden Masterarbeit diskutiert werden. Als letzter theoretischer Punkt wird das Feld der audiovisuellen Translation mit besonderem Augenmerk auf SDH-Untertitelung beleuchtet, bevor Methode und Untersuchungsgegenstand dargelegt werden. Die Analyse zeigte, dass die deutsch- und englischsprachigen Untertitel im Durchschnitt die meisten Situations- und Kontextangaben enthielten. Die französischsprachigen Untertitel beinhalteten eine deutlich niedrigere Anzahl an Informationen, was in weiterer Folge bedeuten könnte, dass hörgeschädigte französischsprachige Rezipient:innen ein höheres Maß an mentaler Anstrengung aufwenden müssen, um die filmische Narration nachzuvollziehen, als deutsch- und englischsprachige. Die filmische Narration könnte also in der deutsch- und englischsprachigen Version einfacher verständlich sein als in der französischsprachigen.
description: The present master’s thesis focuses on subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH). It aims to understand how information regarding situation and context contained in SDH impacts the film narration. For this purpose, the intralingual subtitles of the Netflix series “Behind Her Eyes” (2021) are analysed using the analytic model for audiovisual texts by Chaume (2004). The theory of multimodal communication serves as a starting point for the analysis. Furthermore, SDH is a form of media accessibility, which is why basic aspects of accessibility are also discussed in this thesis. As a final theoretical point, the field of audiovisual translation is examined with a focus on SDH, before the method and research subject are presented. The analysis showed that, on average, the German and English language versions of the subtitles contained the most information on situation and context. The amount of information contained in French-language subtitles was significantly lower. Consequently, this could mean that hearing-impaired French-speaking recipients have to expend a higher degree of mental effort than German- and English-speaking recipients to understand the film narration. In conclusion, the film narration could be easier to follow in the German and English language versions than in the French language version.

description: Multi-dimensional data constituted by measurements along multiple axes have emerged across many scientific areas such as genomics and cancer surveillance. A common objective is to investigate the conditional dependencies among the variables along each axes taking into account multi-dimensional structure of the data. Traditional multivariate approaches are unsuitable for such highly structured data due to inefficiency, loss of power, and lack of interpretability. In this article, we propose a novel class of multi-dimensional graphical models based on matrix decompositions of the precision matrices along each dimension. Our approach is a unified framework applicable to both directed and undirected decomposable graphs as well as arbitrary combinations of these. Exploiting the marginalization of the likelihood, we develop efficient posterior sampling schemes based on partially collapsed Gibbs samplers. Empirically, through simulation studies, we show the superior performance of our approach in comparison with those of benchmark and state-of-the-art methods. We illustrate our approaches using two datasets: ovarian cancer proteomics and U.S. cancer mortality. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der problematischen Identität der Bukowina in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Jahrhunderts, die durch Pluralismus, ethnische Spaltung und soziale Konflikte gekennzeichnet war. Jahrhunderts von Pluralismus, ethnischer Spaltung und sozialen Konflikten geprägt war. Die folgende Arbeit erschließt daher die facettenreiche regionale Identität der Bukowina durch vier verschiedene individuelle Linsen: Österreichisch, jüdisch, ukrainisch und rumänisch, anstatt sie vereinfachend als einen symbiotischen Ort zu betrachten. Die Arbeit bedient sich eines mnemohistorischen Ansatzes, der die Vergangenheit so betrachtet, wie sie erinnert wird, anstatt die Vergangenheit als solche zu analysieren. Eine Schlussfolgerung ist, dass die Bukowina Gegenstand gegensätzlicher Bewegungen war: Nationalismus und Multikulturalismus, Vielfalt und ethnischer Nationalismus. Eine weitere Schlussfolgerung des Papiers ist, dass trotz all dieser konfliktreichen Identitäten der Bukowina alle etwas gemeinsam hatten: die Idee eines verlorenen Landes.
description: The thesis discusses the problematic identity of Bukovina in the first half of the 20th Century. This is precisely problematic because of the multi-faceted character of the region, the reality of which was, in the first half of the 20th century, marked by pluralism, ethnic division, and social conflict. Therefore, the following thesis opens up the multi-faceted regional identity of Bukovina through four different individual lenses: Austrian, Jewish, Ukrainian and Romanian, rather than regarding it simplistically as a symbiotic place. The thesis makes use of a mnemohistorical approach, looking at the past as it is remembered, rather than analysing the past as such. One conclusion is that Bukovina was subject of opposing movements: nationalism and multiculturalism, diversity and ethnic nationalism. Another conclusion of the paper is that although we have all this conflictual identities of Bukovina, they all had something in common: the idea of a lost land.

description: In der Hitze des Tages betritt ein Mann völlig verwahrlost und durstig eine entlegene Raststätte an der Grenze zu Mexiko; zwei Brüder finden sich in den frühen Morgenstunden an einem desolaten Ort wieder, umzingelt von verlassenen Autokarosserien; in einem trostlosen Hotelzimmer hört ein Junge der Tonaufnahme des Vaters zu, wie sich dieser von seinem Sohn verabschiedet. Von einer entleerten Wüstenlandschaft zu Beginn des Films, bis hin zu einem einsamen Diner; von einem verkommenen und abgelegenen Autofriedhof, bis hin zu einem trostlosen Hotelzimmer gegen Ende von Paris, Texas (1984), zeichnen sich die filmischen Räume für den deutschen Filmemacher Wim Wenders von besonderer Wichtigkeit aus. Die Wenderschen Figuren durchqueren dabei eine Vielzahl an Transit- und Durchgangsräumen, sogenannte Nicht-Orte, eine Definition, auf die sich vor allem der französische Anthropologe Marc Augé und der Philosoph Michel de Certeau beziehen. Dabei geht die Masterarbeit der These nach, dass Wenders, durch seine filmischen Rauminszenierungen, verstärkt menschliche Einsamkeit und Entleerung sichtbar macht. Daher wird auf die Frage eingegangen, wie Wenders Orte und filmische Bildräume ausgestaltet und sie inszenatorisch umsetzt. Außerdem stellt sich die Frage, wie sich die Theoriekonzepte französischer Anthropologen und Philosophen, wie etwa Marc Augé, Michel Foucault und Michel de Certeau in eine filmische Ästhetik transformieren lassen. Filmanalytisch wird vor allem der Film Paris, Texas untersucht. Gleichzeitig werden inszenatorische und filmischfunktionale Gemeinsamkeiten in den Filmen Alice in den Städten (1974), Im Lauf der Zeit (1976), Der Stand der Dinge (1982) und Don't Come Knocking (2005) aufgezeigt. Neben den verschiedenen Stadien räumlicher Isolation, der Sichtbarmachung menschlicher Einsamkeit und der Seelenlandschaften seiner Figuren werden auch die Kulturlandschaften behandelt, zu denen auch die Nicht-Orte dazu gehören, durch die sich die Wenderschen Figuren hindurch bewegen. Darüberhinaus wird auch auf die photographischen Werke des Regisseurs Bezug genommen, sowie auch auf die Bilder von Edward Hopper, die beide für Wenders' Schaffen eine zentrale Rolle spielen.

description: We report on the first mathematically rigorous proofs of a transition to a giant vortex state of a superfluid in rotating anharmonic traps. The analysis is carried out within two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii theory at large coupling constant and large rotational velocity and is based on precise asymptotic estimates on the ground state energy. An interesting aspect is a significant difference between 'soft' anharmonic traps (like a quartic plus quadratic trapping potential) and traps with a fixed boundary. In the former case vortices persist in the bulk until the width of the annulus becomes comparable to the size of the vortex cores. In the second case the transition already takes place in a parameter regime where the size of vortices is very small relative to the width of the annulus. Moreover, the density profiles in the annulus are different in the two cases. In both cases rotational symmetry of the density in a true ground state is broken, even though a symmetric variational ansatz gives an excellent approximation to the energy.

description: We calculate the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature fluctuations induced by the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect from the epoch of reionization (EOR). We use detailed N-body+radiative transfer simulations to follow inhomogeneous reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM). For the first time we take into account the "self-regulation" of reionization: star formation in low-mass dwarf galaxies (10^8 M_\sun \lesssim M \lesssim 10^9 M_\sun) or minihalos (10^5 M_\sun \lesssim M \lesssim 10^8 M_\sun) is suppressed if these halos form in the regions that were already ionized or Lyman-Werner dissociated. Some previous work suggested that the amplitude of the kSZ power spectrum from the EOR can be described by a two-parameter family: the epoch of half ionization and the duration of reionization. However, we argue that this picture applies only to simple forms of the reionization history which are roughly symmetric about the half-ionization epoch. In self-regulated reionization, the universe begins to be ionized early, maintains a low level of ionization for an extended period, and then finishes reionization as soon as high-mass atomically-cooling halos dominate. While inclusion of self-regulation affects the amplitude of the kSZ power spectrum only modestly (\sim 10 %), it can change the duration of reionization by a factor of more than two. We conclude that the simple two-parameter family does not capture the effect of a physical, yet complex, reionization history caused by self-regulation. When added to the post-reionization kSZ contribution, our prediction for the total kSZ power spectrum is below the current upper bound from the South Pole Telescope. Therefore, the current upper bound on the kSZ effect from the EOR is consistent with our understanding of the physics of reionization.

title: Das Konzept des "Fremden" im Film "Das finstere Tal"
Creators: name: Stöbich, Lisa Maria
Year: 2023

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es, herauszufinden, ob der Film Das finstere Tal Potential für die ästhetische und kulturreflexive Bildung sowie die Arbeit mit Film(en) im DaF/DAZ-Unterrichtet bietet. Es wird untersucht, wie das ‚Fremde‘ im Film dargestellt wird. In einem ausführlichen Theorieteil werden die Begriffe Ästhetik, ästhetische Bildung, Kultur, kulturreflexive Bildung sowie das Konzept des ‚Fremden‘ präsentiert. Zentral steht eine hermeneutische Filmanalyse, in der der Film Das finstere Tal auf den Begriff des ‚Fremden‘ hin analysiert wird. Mithilfe eines Filmprotokolls werden verschiedene visuelle sowie auditive Filmbausteine untersucht. Das Ergebnis dieser Filmanalyse zeigt, dass sich sowohl auf der bildlichen als auch tonalen Ebene unterschiedliche Konzepte des ‚Fremden’ im Film Das finstere Tal finden und sich diese im Laufe des Films verändern. Dadurch bietet der Film großes Potential sowohl für das ästhetische als auch das kulturreflexive Lernen und somit auch für die Filmbildung im DaF/DaZ-Unterricht.

description: This paper presents and extends our type theoretical framework for a compositional treatment of natural language semantics with some lexical features like coercions (e.g. of a town into a football club) and copredication (e.g. on a town as a set of people and as a location). The second order typed lambda calculus was shown to be a good framework, and here we discuss how to introduced predefined types and coercive subtyping which are much more natural than internally coded similar constructs. Linguistic applications of these new features are also exemplified.
