description: Electrostatic properties and stability of charged virus-like nano-shells are examined in ionic solutions with monovalent and multivalent ions. A theoretical model based on a thin charged spherical shell and multivalent ions within the "dressed multivalent ion" approximation, yielding their distribution across the shell and the corresponding electrostatic (osmotic) pressure acting on the shell, is compared with extensive implicit Monte-Carlo simulations. It is found to be accurate for positive or low negative surface charge densities of the shell and for sufficiently high (low) monovalent (multivalent) salt concentrations. Phase diagrams involving electrostatic pressure exhibit positive and negative values, corresponding to an outward and an inward facing force on the shell, respectively. This provides an explanation for the high sensitivity of viral shell stability and self-assembly of viral capsid shells on the ionic environment.

description: Recent literature has shown that the control of False Discovery Rate (FDR) for distributed detection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can provide substantial improvement in detection performance over conventional design methodologies. In this paper, we further investigate system design issues in FDR based distributed detection. We demonstrate that improved system design may be achieved by employing the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance metric instead of the deflection coefficient, as originally proposed in Ray&VarshneyAES11. We also analyze the performance of FDR based distributed detection in the presence of Byzantines. Byzantines are malicious sensors which send falsified information to the Fusion Center (FC) to deteriorate system performance. We provide analytical and simulation results on the global detection probability as a function of the fraction of Byzantines in the network. It is observed that the detection performance degrades considerably when the fraction of Byzantines is large. Hence, we propose an adaptive algorithm at the FC which learns the Byzantines' behavior over time and changes the FDR parameter to overcome the loss in detection performance. Detailed simulation results are provided to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed adaptive algorithm to Byzantine attacks in WSNs.

description: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the levels of interleukin1 beta in cells after infection with E . Facecalis. PuvMed/Medline , Scopus and Ebsco host data bases were searched. Studies that analyzed the levels of interleukin 1 beta through the caspase mediated NLRP3 inflammasome pathway were included in the study. The risk of bias of the included studies were carried out. A meta analysis could not be carried out as it was a qualitative analysis of the interleukin 1 beta levels. Only three studies fulfilled the search criteria. The results clearly indicate that E faecalis induces the maturation of pro interleukin 1 beta to interleukin 1 beta through the caspase 1 mediated NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.
title: Die Angst vor der Mathematik im schulischen Kontext
Creators: name: Macha, Lena Valentina
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit gibt einen Überblick über die Angst vor der Mathematik im schulischen Kontext und thematisiert potenzielle Ursachen und auch mögliche Ansätze, um dieser Angst entgegenzuwirken. Das übergeordnete Ziel war es, den Zusammenhang zwischen den im Unterricht eingesetzten problemorientierten Lehr-und Lernmethoden und der Mathematikangst bei SchülerInnen genauer zu untersuchen. Dies konnte mit Hilfe einer quantitativen Forschung umgesetzt werden. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurde ein Fragebogen entworfen, um sowohl die Mathematikangst der SchülerInnen als auch den Einsatz von problemorientierten Lehr-und Lernstrategien im Unterricht zu erheben. Durch die statistische Untersuchung konnte der angenommene Zusammenhang zwischen den genannten Variablen bestätigt werden. Daher scheint dies ein Schritt dahingehend zu sein, die offenbar vorliegende Forschungslücke in diesem Bereich zu füllen. Speziell für aktive sowie angehende Lehrpersonen stellen die Ergebnisse eine große Bereicherung dar, um die tatsächlich existente Mathematikangst bewusster wahrzunehmen sowie zukünftig im Unterricht durch den Einsatz dieses konstruktivistischen Konzepts gezielter dagegen vorgehen zu können. LehrerInnen sollen sich der Aufgabe annehmen, der Mathematik den teils verbreiteten Ruf als „Angstfach“ zu nehmen und den SchülerInnen im Unterricht bewusst Freude und Begeisterung für diese Materie vermitteln.

 Remarks. Chydaeus baoshanensis was described from a single male collected to the north of Baoshan, at elevations of 2265–2530 m, in the western Yunnan Province, China (Kataev et al. 2012). The additional examined male was also collected to the north of Baoshan, but about 26 km to the north of the type locality, at elevation of 2420 m (Fig. 70). This specimen is morphologically similar to the holotype, however the basal spiny patches in the internal sac of its median lobe are smaller and isolated from each other.

Relativistic gas in a Schwarzschild metric

description: A relativistic gas in a Schwarzschild metric is studied within the framework of a relativistic Boltzmann equation in the presence of gravitational fields, where Marle's model for the collision operator of the Boltzmann equation is employed. The transport coefficients of bulk and shear viscosities and thermal conductivity are determined from the Chapman-Enskog method. It is shown that the transport coefficients depend on the gravitational potential. Expressions for the transport coefficients in the presence of weak gravitational fields in the non-relativistic (low temperatures) and ultra-relativistic (high temperatures) limiting cases are given. Apart from the temperature gradient the heat flux has two relativistic terms. The first one, proposed by Eckart, is due to the inertia of energy and represents an isothermal heat flux when matter is accelerated. The other, suggested by Tolman, is proportional to the gravitational potential gradient and indicates that -- in the absence of an acceleration field -- a state of equilibrium of a relativistic gas in a gravitational field can be attained only if the temperature gradient is counterbalanced by a gravitational potential gradient.
description: Sign error in the potential in eq. (25) has propagated to eqs. (27)-(29), (31) and (35)-(42). As a consequence the transport coefficients become smaller in the presence of gravitational field, instead of larger as mentioned in the previous version

description: We review the tests of general relativity that will become possible with space-based gravitational-wave detectors operating in the ~0.01mHz - 1Hz low-frequency band. The fundamental aspects of gravitation that can be tested include the presence of additional gravitational fields other than the metric; the number and tensorial nature of gravitational-wave polarization states; the velocity of propagation of gravitational waves; the binding energy and gravitational-wave radiation of binaries, and therefore the time evolution of binary inspirals; the strength and shape of the waves emitted from binary mergers and ringdowns; the true nature of astrophysical black holes; and much more. The strength of this science alone calls for the swift implementation of a space-based detector; the remarkable richness of astrophysics, astronomy, and cosmology in the low-frequency gravitational-wave band make the case even stronger.

description: We carry out analysis of optomechanical system formed by moveable mirror of Fabry-Perot cavity pumped by detuned laser. Optical spring arising from detuned pump creates in the system several eigen modes which could be treated as high-Q oscillators. Modulation of laser power results in parametric modulation of oscillators spring constants thus allowing to squeeze noise in quadratures of the modes. Evidence of the squeezing could be found in the light reflected from the cavity.

Versicherer, die PAYD-Verträge anbieten möchten, sollten sich im Klaren darüber sein, dass sie sich zwangsläufig in den einen oder anderen datenschutzrechtlichen Graubereich begeben werden. Das betrifft vor allem auf das Recht auf Auskunft, Berichtigung und Datenübertragbarkeit. Derzeit ist nicht klar, wie einerseits den Betroffenenrechten entsprochen und und andererseits die Verletzung von Rechten Dritter verhindert werden kann. Versicherungsnehmer*innen sollte bewusst sein, dass ihr vernetztes Fahrzeug und ihr Smartphone riesige Mengen an Telematikdaten erzeugen, die vom Versicherer potentiell zu Zwecken genutzt werden, die weit über die Berechnung der Prämie hinausgehen. Sie sollten sich vor Abschluss eines PAYD-Versicherungsvertrages daher genügend Zeit nehmen, sich mit dem Informationsmaterial zum Datenschutz im Detail auseinander zu setzen und sich gut überlegen, zu welchen Verarbeitungszwecken sie eine Einwilligung abgeben möchten und zu welchen nicht. Andernfalls werden die Versicherungsnehmer*innen überrascht sein, wenn der Versicherer ihre Telematikdaten im Falle eines Unfalls gegen sie einsetzt. Die meisten Versicherungsnehmer*innen werden außerdem davon überrascht sein, dass die Ausübung einiger Betroffenenrechte durch strenge Nachweispflichten faktisch stark eingeschränkt ist. Abschließend kann festgehalten werden, dass auch die verpflichtende Einführung des eCalls im Jahr 2018 zu keinem “Boom“ der Telematiktarife geführt hat und für die nächste Zeit ein solcher auch nicht zu erwarten ist. Das führe ich vor allem auf die bestehenden Rechtsunsicherheiten zurück, die sich zukünftig durch den Data Act noch verstärken werden.

description: We study both analytically and numerically the nonlinear stage of the instability of one-dimensional solitons in a small vicinity of the transition point from supercritical to subcritical bifurcations in the framework of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It is shown that near the collapsing time the pulse amplitude and its width demonstrate the self-similar behavior with a small asymmetry at the pulse tails due to self-steepening. This theory is applied to both solitary interfacial deep-water waves and envelope water waves with a finite depth and short optical pulses in fibers as well.

History of applications of martingales in survival analysis

description: The paper traces the development of the use of martingale methods in survival analysis from the mid 1970's to the early 1990's. This development was initiated by Aalen's Berkeley PhD-thesis in 1975, progressed through the work on estimation of Markov transition probabilities, non-parametric tests and Cox's regression model in the late 1970's and early 1980's, and it was consolidated in the early 1990's with the publication of the monographs by Fleming and Harrington (1991) and Andersen, Borgan, Gill and Keiding (1993). The development was made possible by an unusually fast technology transfer of pure mathematical concepts, primarily from French probability, into practical biostatistical methodology, and we attempt to outline some of the personal relationships that helped this happen. We also point out that survival analysis was ready for this development since the martingale ideas inherent in the deep understanding of temporal development so intrinsic to the French theory of processes were already quite close to the surface in survival analysis.

description: In this paper, we study the effect of feedback on two-user MIMO interference channels. The capacity region of MIMO interference channels with feedback is characterized within a constant number of bits, where this constant is independent of the channel matrices. Further, it is shown that the capacity region of a MIMO interference channel with feedback and its reciprocal interference channel are within a constant number of bits. Finally, the generalized degrees of freedom region for the MIMO interference channel with feedback is characterized.

description: A graph $G=(V,E)$ is $d$-sparse if each subset $X\subseteq V$ with $|X|\geq d$ induces at most $d|X|-{{d+1}\choose{2}}$ edges in $G$. Maxwell showed in 1864 that a necessary condition for a generic bar-and-joint framework with at least $d+1$ vertices to be rigid in ${\mathbb R}^d$ is that $G$ should have a $d$-sparse subgraph with $d|X|-{{d+1}\choose{2}}$ edges. This necessary condition is also sufficient when $d=1,2$ but not when $d\geq 3$. Cheng and Sitharam strengthened Maxwell's condition by showing that every maximal $d$-sparse subgraph of $G$ should have $d|X|-{{d+1}\choose{2}}$ edges when $d=3$. We extend their result to all $d\leq 11$.
description: There was an error in the proof of Theorem 3.3(b) in version 1 of this paper. A weaker statement was proved in version 2 and then used to derive the main result Theorem 4.1 when $d\leq 5$. The proof technique was subsequently refined in collaboration with Hakan Guler to extend this result to all $d\leq 11$ in Theorem 3.3 of version 3

description: We study extensions of the standard model by one generation of vector-like leptons with non-standard hypercharges, which allow for a sizable modification of the h -> gamma gamma decay rate for new lepton masses in the 300 GeV - 1 TeV range. We analyze vaccum stability implications for different hypercharges. Effects in h -> Z gamma are typically much smaller than in h -> gamma gamma, but distinct among the considered hypercharge assignments. Non-standard hypercharges constrain or entirely forbid possible mixing operators with standard model leptons. As a consequence, the leading contributions to the experimentally strongly constrained electric dipole moments of standard model fermions are only generated at the two loop level by the new CP violating sources of the considered setups. We derive the bounds from dipole moments, electro-weak precision observables and lepton flavor violating processes, and discuss their implications. Finally, we examine the production and decay channels of the vector-like leptons at the LHC, and find that signatures with multiple light leptons or taus are already probing interesting regions of parameter space.

Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

description: We examine statistics of waves for the problem of modulation instability development in the framework of discrete integrable Ablowitz-Ladik (AL) system. Modulation instability depends on one free parameter h that has the meaning of the coupling between the nodes on the lattice. For strong coupling h<<1 the probability density functions (PDFs) for waves amplitudes coincide with that for the continuous classical Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation; the PDFs for both systems are very close to Rayleigh ones. When the coupling is weak h~1, there appear highly localized waves with very large amplitudes, that drastically change the PDFs to significantly non-Rayleigh ones, with so-called "fat tails" when the probability of a large wave occurrence is by several orders of magnitude higher than that predicted by the linear theory. Evolution of amplitudes for such rogue waves with time is similar to that of the Peregrine solution for the classical NLS equation.

description: We study numerically the nonlinear stage of modulational instability (MI) of cnoidal waves, in the framework of the focusing one-dimensional Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. Cnoidal waves are the exact periodic solutions of the NLS equation and can be represented as a lattice of overlapping solitons. MI of these lattices lead to development of "integrable turbulence" [Zakharov V.E., Stud. Appl. Math. 122, 219-234 (2009)]. We study the major characteristics of the turbulence for dn-branch of cnoidal waves and demonstrate how these characteristics depend on the degree of "overlapping" between the solitons within the cnoidal wave. Integrable turbulence, that develops from MI of dn-branch of cnoidal waves, asymptotically approaches to it's stationary state in oscillatory way. During this process kinetic and potential energies oscillate around their asymptotic values. The amplitudes of these oscillations decay with time as t^{-a}, 1

How do engineering students build their understanding of their role?

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This qualitative research explored how 2nd and 3rd year engineering students build their understanding of their role as engineers. A 2-day workshop was created to examine the impact of several factors (perspectives/differences between people, communication, team and organisational dynamics, and project management), that were believed to be fundamental to this understanding. Combined phenomenographic and experimental frameworks guided the research design and qualitative research methods were used to collect and analyse students’ opinion data. 32 volunteer engineering students participated (13 second year, 19 third year). The research identified three key findings: 1. A student’s understanding of their role as an engineer progresses from a discipline/siloed level to holistic/system thinking level. 2. An understanding of workplace perspectives combined with organisational structure and dynamics (which showed the interconnectedness of the workplace and the importance of interpersonal skills and teamwork) was the most influential factor in their progression to the Holistic level. 3. Providing a holistic overview of a complete project that demonstrated perspective/ design thinking as well as organisational dynamics was an important pedagogical approach in building students understanding of their role as engineers.

description: Digitale Prozesszwillinge (DPTs) sind vernetzte Software-Systeme im Industrie-4.0-Kontext, die Produktionsprozesse digital abbilden, überwachen und steuern. Damit können Produktivitätssteigerungen erzielt und Wertschöpfungsketten flexibilisiert werden. Allerdings kann der Betrieb von DPTs zu sehr hohen Anforderungen an die ausführende Rechenressource führen. Zu diesen Anforderungen gehören eine hohe und variable benötigte Rechenleistung, Zuverlässigkeit und Ausfallsicherheit. Diese können mit monolithischen DPT-Architekturen nicht immer ausreichend erfüllt werden. Außerdem sind monolithische DPTs schwer wartbar, da einzelne Teile nur umständlich ersetzt werden können. Wenige wissenschaftliche Arbeiten befassten sich aber bisher mit nicht-monolithischen Digitalen Zwillingen. Der Aufbau eines DPT in modularer statt monolithischer Architektur verspricht eine längere Lebensdauer durch bessere Wartbarkeit und Austauschbarkeit der DPT-Komponenten. Außerdem lassen sich die Module mittels Software-Virtualisierung durch Container von der physischen Hardware trennen und so flexibel zwischen beliebigen Hosts bewegen. Diese Portabilität erlaubt die horizontale Skalierung des DPT, Ausfalltoleranz sowie eine Auslagerung von Modulen in die Cloud. Austauschbarkeit und Wiederverwertbarkeit der Module sowie Portabilität der Container-Technologie ermöglichen zudem ein herstellerübergreifendes Ökosystem für den DPT. In dieser Arbeit werden die Komponenten eines DPT modularisiert und containerisiert. Es wird eine Architektur für diesen containerisierten, modularisierten DPT (CMDPT) geschaffen, welche insbesondere die benötigte Infrastruktur für den Betrieb spezifiziert. Das Konzept wird in einer prototypischen Implementierung umgesetzt. Die Validierung des Konzepts zeigt, dass der CMDPT neue Anwendungsgebiete für den DPT schafft, die zugrundeliegenden Technologien aber in Hinsicht Echtzeit und Latenz noch nicht ausgereift sind.

description: Quantum theory is often presented as the theory describing the microscopic world, and admittedly, it has done this extremely well for decades. Nonetheless, the question of whether it applies at all scales and in particular at human scales remains open, despite considerable experimental effort. Here, we report on the displacement of quantum entanglement into the domain where it involves two macroscopically distinct states, i.e. two states characterised by a large enough number of photons to be seen, at least in principle, with our eyes and that could be distinguished using mere linear - coarse-grained - detectors with a high probability. Specifically, we start by the generation of entanglement between two spatially separated optical modes at the single photon level and subsequently displace one of these modes up to almost a thousand photons. To reliably check whether entanglement is preserved, the mode is re-displaced back to the single photon level and a well established entanglement measure, based on single photon detection, is performed. The ability to displace an entangled state from the micro to the macro domain and back again provides a fascinating tool to probe fundamental questions about quantum theory and holds potential for more applied problems such as quantum sensing.

description: In the field of gait recognition from motion capture data, designing human-interpretable gait features is a common practice of many fellow researchers. To refrain from ad-hoc schemes and to find maximally discriminative features we may need to explore beyond the limits of human interpretability. This paper contributes to the state-of-the-art with a machine learning approach for extracting robust gait features directly from raw joint coordinates. The features are learned by a modification of Linear Discriminant Analysis with Maximum Margin Criterion so that the identities are maximally separated and, in combination with an appropriate classifier, used for gait recognition. Experiments on the CMU MoCap database show that this method outperforms eight other relevant methods in terms of the distribution of biometric templates in respective feature spaces expressed in four class separability coefficients. Additional experiments indicate that this method is a leading concept for rank-based classifier systems.

description: Recent experimental data indicate that the elastic wormlike rod model of DNA that works well on long length scales may break down on shorter scales relevant to biology. According to Noy and Golestanian (Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 228101, 2012) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations predict DNA rigidity close to experimental data and confirm one scenario of such breakdown, namely, that for lengths of a few helical turns, DNA dynamics exhibit long-range bending and stretching correlations. Earlier studies using similar forcefields concluded that (i) MD systematically overestimate the DNA rigidity, and (ii) no deviations from the WLR model are detectable. Here it is argued that the data analysis in the above mentioned paper was incorrect and that the earlier conclusions are valid.

description: A particular family of time- and space-dependent discrete-time quantum walks (QWs) is considered in one dimensional physical space. The continuous limit of these walks is defined through a new procedure and computed in full detail. In this limit, the walks coincide with the propagation of a massless Dirac fermion in an arbitrary gravitational field. A QW mimicking the radial propagation of a fermion outside and inside the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole is explicitly constructed and simulated numerically. Finally, the limiting procedure and the main result itself are carefully discussed.

description: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is an invaluable means of inference with complicated models, and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, in particular Riemannian Manifold Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RMHMC), has demonstrated impressive success in many challenging problems. Current RMHMC implementations, however, rely on a Riemannian metric that limits their application to analytically-convenient models. In this paper I propose a new metric for RMHMC without these limitations and verify its success on a distribution that emulates many hierarchical and latent models.

title: The portrayal of "female madness" in "Black Swan" and "Shirley"
Creators: name: Kauer, Stephanie
Year: 2023

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, den Einfluss patriarchalischer Strukturen wie der männlichen, sexualisierenden Blickweise auf Frauen und der sozialen Ordnung aufzudecken, die die stereotype Darstellung von „weiblichem Wahnsinn" in Filmen fördern. Als strukturelle Grundlage für diese These dient ein historischer Überblick über den Kontext des „Wahnsinns" und eine Erläuterung, wie dieser hauptsächlich mit Frauen assoziiert und als „weibliche Krankheit" betrachtet wurde. Darüber hinaus wird auf die Schwierigkeiten bei der Definition von „Wahnsinn" und die Entwicklung des Konzepts zu einem geschlechtsspezifischen Stereotyp eingegangen. In den folgenden Kapiteln wird die Verwendung negativer Stereotype bei der Darstellung psychisch kranker Menschen erörtert. Zudem folgt eine detaillierte Untersuchung über die sexuelle Objektivierung psychisch kranker Frauen mit der Frage, wie ihre Krankheiten dargestellt werden, um den männlichen Zuschauern ein angenehmes Erlebnis zu verschaffen. Letztlich wird eine detaillierte Analyse des Einflusses der sozialen Ordnung auf die stereotype Darstellung des „weiblichen Wahnsinns" vorgenommen. Die genannten Konzepte werden nacheinander auf die zeitgenössischen Filme Black Swan (2010) und Shirley (2020) übertragen und deren Darstellung des „weiblichen Wahnsinns“ analysiert. Dabei wird die Charakterisierung der beiden weiblichen Protagonisten Nina und Shirley untersucht und miteinander verglichen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass beide Filme noch immer falsche Bilder von Frauen mit psychischen Erkrankungen zeichnen, die auf alten Stereotypen beruhen. Sowohl Black Swan (2010), als auch Shirley (2020) nutzen psychische Störungen als Vorwand, um ihre weiblichen Protagonisten auf stigmatisierte und sexualisierte Weise darzustellen. Zusammenfassend hat diese Arbeit die Stereotype aufgedeckt, die zeitgenössische Filme aus dem historischen Kontext des „weiblichen Wahnsinns" übernehmen, sowie die patriarchalischen Strukturen, die diese Vorurteile untermauern. Obwohl Filme ihrem Publikum nicht aktiv Ratschläge für den Umgang mit psychisch kranken Frauen erteilen, prägen sie unbewusst die Ansichten und sozialen Einstellungen der Menschen zu solchen Krankheiten. Durch die stigmatisierte und sexualisierte Darstellung der weiblichen Hauptfiguren machen Filme das Leiden von Frauen bedeutungslos und untergraben die Schwere psychischer Störungen.

description: MoCap-based human identification, as a pattern recognition discipline, can be optimized using a machine learning approach. Yet in some applications such as video surveillance new identities can appear on the fly and labeled data for all encountered people may not always be available. This work introduces the concept of learning walker-independent gait features directly from raw joint coordinates by a modification of the Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis with Maximum Margin Criterion. Our new approach shows not only that these features can discriminate different people than who they are learned on, but also that the number of learning identities can be much smaller than the number of walkers encountered in the real operation.

description: The Higgs-fermion couplings are sensitive probes of possible new physics behind a stable light Higgs particle. It is then essential to identify the flavour pattern of those interactions. We consider the case in which a strong dynamics lies behind a light Higgs, and explore the implications within the Minimal Flavour Violation ansatz. The dominant effects on flavour-changing Higgs-fermion couplings stem in this context from operators with mass dimension <6, and we analyze all relevant chiral operators up to that order, including loop-corrections induced by 4-dimensional ones. Bounds on the operator coefficients are derived from a plethora of low-energy flavour transitions, providing a guideline on which flavour-changing Higgs interactions may be open to experimental scrutiny. In particular, the coefficient of a genuinely CP-odd operator is only softly constrained and therefore its impact is potentially interesting.
