title: Umweltverträgliche Grundwasserbewirtschaftung auf den Nordsee-Inseln : Steuerung durch Vegetationsmonitoring

description: Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Grundwassernutzung, Naturschutz und Tourismus wurden umweltverträgliche Steuerungsmechanismen für die Wassergewinnung auf Norderney und Langeoog aufgrund vegetationskundlicher und hydrogeologischer Daten entwickelt. Norderney wurde als mehr städtisch geprägte Insel, Langeoog als Insel mit dörflichem Charakter ausgewählt. Praktikable und übertragbare Handlungsanweisungen für die Wassermeister auf den Inseln und die Naturschutzbehörden wurden erarbeitet. Es wird in diesem Vortrag gezeigt, dass Pflanzengesellschaften insbesondere in den Dünentälern als geeignete Bioindikatoren für die Erhaltung der Qualität und Quantität des Grundwassers Anwendung finden können.
Die Süßwasservorkommen der Inseln entstehen durch in Sand versickernde Niederschläge. Das Süßwasser schwimmt, bedingt durch dessen geringere Dichte, auf dem Salzwasser. Die Grenzfläche zwischen Süß- und Salzwasser sowie die Grundwasseroberfläche im Inselsand sind stabil und annähernd parabolisch geformt. Die süßen Grundwasservorkommen heißen deshalb Süßwasserlinsen. Diffusion und hydromechanische Dispersion steuern die so genannte Nomitzu-Strömung in der Grenzschicht. Norderney verfügt über eine zusammenhängende Süßwasserlinse mit einer Mächtigkeit von 85 m und einer Ausdehnung von etwa 5 km^2. Auf Langeoog ist hingegen die Süßwasserlinse in drei Segmente aufgeteilt. Pflanzengesellschaften der Dünen (Xeroserie) und der Dünentäler (Hygroserie) wurden hinsichtlich Art, Ausdehnung, Bedeckungsgrad und Lage erfasst. Für die Grundwasser-Einzugsgebiete und von der Grundwassergewinnung unbeeinflusste Referenzgebiete wurden charakteristische Pflanzengesellschaften ausgewählt und Feuchteklassen ermittelt. Schwerpunktmäßig wurden Braunseggensumpf (Caricetum trinervi-nigrae), Feuchtheide (Empetro-Ericetum), Krähenbeerenheide (Hieracio-Empetretum), Birkenwald, Trockenrasen und andere untersucht, Grundwasserstände gemessen sowie räumlich hoch aufgelöste Vegetationskarten angefertigt. Seit 1949 ist eine Zunahme der Feuchtvegetation festzustellen, allerdings hauptsächlich auf artenarme Vegetationstypen beschränkt. Für den Bereich der heutigen Grundwassergewinnung können nach dieser Bioindikation keine negativen Auswirkungen der intensiven Grundwasserförderung festgestellt werden. Gleichwohl gehören die feuchten Dünentäler zu den am meisten bedrohten Biotoptypen.

description: We briefly review the status of the ``graceful exit'' problem in superstring cosmology and present a possible resolution. It is shown that there exists a solution to this problem in two-dimensional dilaton gravity provided quantum corrections are incorporated. This is similar to the recently proposed solution of Rey. However, unlike in his case, in our one-loop corrected model the graceful exit problem is solved for any finite number of massless scalar matter fields present in the theory.

description: Die Produktion von Proteinen mit rekombinanten Mikroorganismen ist Stand der Technik. Die hohe Konzentration des Protein-Produktes belastet die Mikroorganismen. Um diese Belastung los zu werden, kann das Bakterium die Proteinfaltung ändern und es so unlöslich machen (Bildung von inclusion body) oder durch Proteasen abbauen. Besonders schwierig ist die Produktion von Proteinen, die für die Zelle toxisch sind.
Wie vermeidet man, dass das Produkt die Zelle tötet?
Diese Frage wird am Beispiel der Produktion eines Fusionsproteins mit recombinantem Escherichia coli JM109 diskutiert.
Das Fusionsprotein enthält Restrictionsendonuclease EcoRI. Die Untersuchung und Verbesserung dieses Enzyms mit Protein design war ein Forschungsgebiet des Arbeitskreises von Herrn Maas.
In Kooperation mit diesem Arbeitskreis haben wir die prozesstechnischen Aspekte der Bildung von Restrictionsendonuclease untersucht.

description: This study is a theological and cultural analysis of sexuality and fa'afafine (effeminate male, third gender) in the Samoan context. Specifically, the study focuses on sexuality in Samoa through the lens of social justice. The voices of the fa’afafine community are highlighted to understand the tension between Samoan church and culture, and sexuality. It is the contention of this study that the experiences and agency of fa’afafine in Samoan culture and church can provide the groundwork for a more affirming ethic of sexuality. The author, a Samoan clergy member, seeks to answer two probing questions: 1) Is the Samoan culture and faith inclusive of people regardless of gender, and sexuality? And 2) what does that inclusivity look like through the lens of social justice?

description: Our numerical simulations with the Cahn-Hilliard equation show that coarsening of fractal clusters (FCs) is not a scale-invariant process. On the other hand, a typical coarsening length scale and interfacial area of the FC exhibit power laws in time, while the mass fractal dimension remains invariant. The initial value of the lower cutoff is a relevant length scale. A sharp-interface model is formulated that can follow the whole dynamics of a diffusion controlled growth, coarsening, fragmentation and approach to equilibrium in a system with conserved order parameter.

description: Motivated by recent experiments we have carried out an Event Driven computer simulation of a diluted binary mixture of granular particles vertically vibrated in the presence of gravity. The simulations not only confirm that the kinetic energies of the two species are not equally distributed, as predicted by various theoretical models, but also seem to reproduce rather well the density and temperature profiles measured experimentally. Rotational degrees of freedom do not seem to play any important qualitative role. Instead, simulation shows the onset of a clustering instability along the horizontal direction. At the interior of the cluster we observe a secondary instability with respect to the perfect mixing situation, so that segregation of species is observed within the cluster.

description: This dissertation comprises an examination of the author’s compositional processes in general, and a discussion of the practical application of these principles in the composition of Objets à réaction poétique (2015-16) for nineteen musicians. Most notably, this composition and accompanying dissertation seek to substantiate the author’s hypotheses that structural- coherence may be achieved through a process attempting to assess the degree of salience of musical materials, and based upon these assessments, to ‘optimise’ associated durations & temporal-placements of materials. The various means by which salience may be achieved & quantified are examined in detail, as is the process through which an appropriate setting for the disposition of salient events is created.

description: Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics with point singularities having both electric and magnetic charges are considered. Problem of interaction between the associated soliton dyon solutions is investigated. For the case of long-range interaction at first order by a small field of distant solitons we obtain that the generalized Lorentz force is acted on a dyon under consideration. Short-range interaction between two dyons having identical electric and opposite magnetic charges is investigated for an initial approximation. We consider the case when the velocities of the dyons have equal modules and opposite directions on a common line. It is shown that the associated field configuration has a constant full angular momentum which is independent of the interdyonic distance and their speed. This property permits a consideration of this bidyon configuration as an electromagnetic model of charged particle with spin. We numerically investigate movement of the dyons in this configuration for the case when the full electric charge equals the electron charge and the full angular momentum equals the electron spin. It is shown that for this case the absolute value of relation between electric and magnetic charges of the dyons equals the fine structure constant. The calculation gives that the bidyon may behave as nonlinear oscillator. Associated dependence of frequency on the full energy is obtained for the initial approximation. In the limits of the electrodynamic model we obtain that the quick-oscillating wave packet may behave like massive gravitating particle when it move in high background field. We discuss the possible electrodynamic world with the oscillating bidyons as particles.

description: A selection problem that appears in the Lifshitz-Slyozov (LS) theory of Ostwald ripening is reexamined. The problem concerns selection of a self-similar distribution function (DF) of the minority domains with respect to their sizes from a whole one-parameter family of solutions. A strong selection rule is found via an account of fluctuations. Fluctuations produce an infinite tail in the DF and drive the DF towards the "limiting solution" of LS or its analogs for other growth mechanisms.

Salinity Crisis in the Borderlands: The Mexicali Campesino's Fight for Colorado River Water in the Delta, 1961-1973

Subjects: Environmental justice

description: The topic of this thesis is the Salinity Crisis, a diplomatic imbroglio over the water of the Colorado River that dominated international relations between the United States and Mexico from 1961 to 1973. In the early 1960s, agriculturalists in the Yuma Valley, Arizona began disposing of their wastewaters downstream. These wastewaters, which came from highly saline underground aquifers, polluted the Colorado River water destined for Mexican users. Mexico receives 1.5 MAFY (million-acre-feet-per-year) of Colorado River water from the United States as dictated by the 1944 Mexican Water Treaty and most of this water allotment goes directly to the Mexicali Valley in Baja California. The economy of the Mexicali Valley during the 1960s and 70s was agricultural where almost all farms grew cotton and some grew wheat. When the wastewaters reached the Mexicali Valley, the crops of the valley began to die. What resulted was a catastrophe for the region's economy and a disaster for international diplomacy between the two nations for little over a decade. A permanent solution was reached in 1973 with Minute 242. Most historians have focused solely on the diplomacy of the Salinity Crisis. This work will connect the negotiations between high-ranking officials on both sides of the border to the grassroots movements of Mexicali Valley campesinos or peasant farmers, those directly affected by the crisis. In doing so, this thesis aims to clarify the immediate significance of the Salinity Crisis as well as situate this moment within global events, demonstrating its broader legacy. This work argues that Mexicali campesinos, through visible protest and engagement of the Mexican and U.S. governments in the debate over salinity, forced the initiation of the serious diplomatic exchange necessary to resolve the crisis. Mexicali campesinos, a historically disadvantaged population, successfully changed the course of U.S.-Mexico relations in the 1960s-70s, becoming the focal point of diplomacy between the nations at the height of the Cold War and ultimately enhancing Mexican water rights to the Colorado River.

description: We derive an inequality for the linear entropy, that gives sharp bounds for all finite dimensional systems. The derivation is based on generalised Bloch decompositions and provides a strict improvement for the possible distribution of purities for all finite dimensional quantum states. It thus extends the widely used concept of entropy inequalities from the asymptotic to the finite regime, and should also find applications in entanglement detection and efficient experimental characterisations of quantum states.

description: The Romans had a term for public health, salus publica, which was frequently invoked in a political context, but the concept is rarely discussed in historical studies of Roman political ideology, medicine, or infrastructure. This dissertation offers a diachronic analysis of the development of the term from the middle Republic to the beginning of the third century CE using four case studies: Senatorial responses to epidemic disease, the construction of aqueducts, the state recognition of medical authorities, and the healthcare of the military. While medical theory and hydraulic technology are relevant throughout, in each case changes in the abstract and concrete meaning of salus publica are more closely tied to broader political and social changes including the expansion of the empire, the self-presentation of the emperor, and the role of the individual citizen in the Roman state.

description: Regulations in many mining jurisdictions and international guidance on mine closure incorporate the concept of defining post-mining land uses as a component of closure planning and design. These include the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia, which requires that end land uses be defined as part of the mining process. Modern permit conditions in British Columbia for End Land Use Plans or “Returning Land Use Plans”, a term coined by Nlaka’pamux communities in 2015, include the requirement to develop post-mining land-use planning with Indigenous communities whose territories include the mine site, collaboratively defining a vision for reclamation. The goal of these plans is to ensure that the landscape, after mines are reclaimed, reflects the values, relationships to, and desired land use of community members, but is also realistic and achievable within engineering and ecological constraints. Indigenous communities drive the approach to collaboration that can vary by community and mine. This paper provides a summary of the regulatory context and history of End Land Use Plans in British Columbia and outlines lessons learned working with mine sites and communities to collaboratively develop these plans in British Columbia, Yukon, and Saskatchewan.
Sample Size Calculation Based on the Semiparametric Analysis of Short-term and Long-term Hazard Ratios
Creators: Wang, Yi
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Biometry

description: We derive sample size formulae for survival data with non-proportional hazard functions under both fixed and contiguous alternatives. Sample size determination has been widely discussed in literature for studies with failure-time endpoints. Many researchers have developed methods with the assumption of proportional hazards under contiguous alternatives. Without covariate adjustment, the logrank test statistic is often used for the sample size and power calculation. With covariate adjustment, the approaches are often based on the score test statistic for the Cox proportional hazards model. Such methods, however, are inappropriate when the proportional hazards assumption is violated. We develop methods to calculate the sample size based on the semiparametric analysis of short-term and long-term hazard ratios. The methods are built on a semiparametric model by Yang and Prentice (2005). The model accommodates a wide range of patterns of hazard ratios, and includes the Cox proportional hazards model and the proportional odds model as its special cases. Therefore, the proposed methods can be used for survival data with proportional or non-proportional hazard functions. In particular, the sample size formula by Schoenfeld (1983) and Hsieh and Lavori (2000) can be obtained as a special case of our methods under contiguous alternatives.

description: We report on charge detection in electrostatically-defined quantum dot devices in bilayer graphene using an integrated charge detector. The device is fabricated without any etching and features a graphite back gate, leading to high quality quantum dots. The charge detector is based on a second quantum dot separated from the first dot by depletion underneath a 150 nm wide gate. We show that Coulomb resonances in the sensing dot are sensitive to individual charging events on the nearby quantum dot. The potential change due to single electron charging causes a step-like change (up to 77 %) in the current through the charge detector. Furthermore, the charging states of a quantum dot with tunable tunneling barriers and of coupled quantum dots can be detected.

description: The social, political, and economic implications of technologies are extensions of the agendas set by the agencies that deploy them and the environments that shape them. The sandbox, whether managed by private or public agents, apply their ideologies, principles and convictions within the technology itself. When the sandbox scales to the city, region, or other areas, so do the intentions in ways that can perpetuate inclusivity and engagement or exclusion and invasion. This study will contribute to the developing discourse on urban planning and the development processes of smart city initiatives to understand how advancements and disservices of urban technologies are distributed in communities. Unlike the majority of research in this sphere that attempts to quantify innovation or the technology itself as a metric for success of a smart city program, this research examines the process of how the technology is instrumentalized—by whom and for whom. To evaluate the effectiveness of smart city initiatives and to understand the social, political, and economic implications of the implementation process, two distinct case studies of smart city technologies implemented in the past decade are reviewed through a mixed-methods approach: (1) Las Vegas’ transportation networks technologies deployed within their Downtown Innovation District, and (2) Chicago’s environmental sensors project called the Array of Things, installed across the city. The two case studies represent differing approaches that are prevalent in current smart city endeavors, corresponding with intentions of economic development and civic empowerment. This critical analysis evaluates the context and intentions of smart city initiatives as a product design process and as a planning tool for allocating resources.

description: In this work we demonstrated, that machine learning opens a way for real design of ligands with required metal ion selectivity. We performed the ensemble QSPR modelling of the Li+/Na+ complexation selectivity and the stability constants for the Li+L and Na+L complexes of phosphoryl podands in nonaqueous solvent THF/СНCl3 (4:1 v/v). The models were built and cross-validated using MLR with the ISIDA QSPR program and SVM with the libSVM package. The program SVMsmf was implemented to fulfil an ensemble modelling using libSVM and the Substructural Molecular Fragments (SMF) descriptors. SMF were used as descriptors for the ensemble modelling, properties predictions by consensus models and design of combinatorial library of new ligands. SMF such as the P=O group, the ether and P=O groups bound through the aromatic ring contribute significantly to the Li+/Na+ selectivity. The developed models were applied for the prediction of the studied properties for a focused virtual library of 3057 phosphoryl podands generated using SMF contributions promising for selective binding of lithium. Consensus models selected hits for a synthesis by combinatorial library screening. Among the constructed selective ligands – hits, three new podands were synthesized, for which the experimentally estimated selectivity is in satisfactory agreement with that predicted.

description: Modification induced by 110 MeV Ni ion irradiated thin film samples of C60 on Si and quartz substrates were studied at various fluences. The pristine and irradiated samples were investigated using Raman spectroscopy, electrical conductivity and optical absorption spectroscopy. The Raman data and band gap measurements indicate that swift ions at low fluences result in formations that involve multiple molecular units like dimer or polymer. High fluence irradiation resulted in sub-molecular formations and amorphous semiconducting carbon, indicating overall damage of the fullerene molecules. These sub-molecular units have been identified with nanocrystalline diamond and nanocrystalline graphite like formations.

description: San Francisco’s commitment to help reduce global warming by achieving a zero-emission city by 2050 requires multi-scaled action and collaboration between agencies. The City has many plans and policies in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across sectors. The San Francisco Planning Department is leading the development of the Sustainable Neighborhood Program, in collaboration with partner agencies, to synthesize the City’s many goals, requirements, and targets, create synergies between, often siloed, topics, and maximize mutual efficiencies and outcomes. The Sustainable Neighborhood Dashboard is a tool created to help demonstrate the potential for data to inform urban sustainability strategy development and prioritization at the community level. The purpose of the Dashboard is to assess and visualize key indicators to provide project sponsors, community stakeholders, and city staff with an understanding of baseline sustainability performance and to facilitate data-driven interventions. The indicators allow users to determine where the largest performance gaps and disparities are and where to focus sustainability- related efforts. This report documents research conducted to create an in-depth assessment of sustainability indicators used in the Dashboard, as well as recommendations for improved data collection and reporting.

San Francisco's Sit/Lie Ordinance: Perceptions, Realities, and Desires

description: San Franciscans in the 2010 election voted for Proposition L, the Sit/Lie Ordinance, which prohibits sitting or lying on sidewalks citywide from 7am to 11pm. This thesis will study the consequences of the new law. Considered having one of the largest homeless populations in the country, San Francisco recently adopted the law which is widely seen as anti-homeless. The author is interested in how the homeless and various community-based organizations that have long advocated for the rights of the homeless respond to the measure. This is an important issue, not only in San Francisco but many other cities in the U.S., as it defines who the "public" is in public space. This study aims to use empirical research to answer the question of how the right to the city is contested in the use of public space by the homeless. This paper hypothesizes that the homeless and their advocates continue to resist the ordinance and try different ways to reclaim their use of public space since public space is a dynamic -- rather than fixed -- venue open for struggles.

Glassy properties of the Bose-glass phase of a one-dimensional disordered Bose fluid
Creators: name: Dupuis, Nicolas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study a one-dimensional disordered Bose fluid using bosonization, the replica method and a nonperturbative functional renormalization-group approach. The Bose-glass phase is described by a fully attractive strong-disorder fixed point characterized by a singular disorder correlator whose functional dependence assumes a cuspy form that is related to the existence of metastable states. At nonzero momentum scale, quantum tunneling between these metastable states leads to a rounding of the nonanalyticity in a quantum boundary layer that encodes the existence of rare superfluid regions responsible for the $ω^2$ behavior of the (dissipative) conductivity in the low-frequency limit. These results can be understood within the "droplet" picture put forward for the description of glassy (classical) systems.

Sandboxed, Online Debugging of Production Bugs for SOA Systems

Debugging in computer science

description: Short time-to-bug localization is extremely important for any 24x7 service-oriented application. To this end, we introduce a new debugging paradigm called live debugging. There are two goals that any live debugging infrastructure must meet: Firstly, it must offer real-time insight for bug diagnosis and localization, which is paramount when errors happen in user-facing applications. Secondly, live debugging should not impact user-facing performance for normal events. In large distributed applications, bugs which impact only a small percentage of users are common. In such scenarios, debugging a small part of the application should not impact the entire system.
      With the above-stated goals in mind, this thesis presents a framework called Parikshan, which leverages user-space containers (OpenVZ) to launch application instances for the express purpose of live debugging. Parikshan is driven by a live-cloning process, which generates a replica (called debug container) of production services, cloned from a production container which continues to provide the real output to the user. The debug container provides a sandbox environment, for safe execution of monitoring/debugging done by the users without any perturbation to the execution environment. As a part of this framework, we have designed customized-network proxies, which replicate inputs from clients to both the production and test-container, as well safely discard all outputs. Together the network duplicator, and the debug container ensure both compute and network isolation of the debugging environment. We believe that this piece of work provides the first of its kind practical real-time debugging of large multi-tier and cloud applications, without requiring any application downtime, and minimal performance impact.

New towns

description: The population residing in urban areas has been rapidly increasing, especially in the developing world, giving rise to the need for cities and urban establishments to adapt and grow with the change. Satellite cities were developed in the 20th century to shift the population from congested urban areas to new developments established nearby. Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom and Reston in the United States are two New Towns of the 20th century developed to decongest a larger urban center. The paper assesses these two towns against sustainability standards of today, to explore the potential of this form of development as a sustainable tool for planners in the 21st century. It was found that while both towns are somewhat economically sustainable (self-contained with a high median household income), they are not sustainable environmentally (highly auto-dependent with poor air quality), and only slightly sustainable socially.
Semiclassical approach to calculating the influence of local lattice fluctuations on electronic properties of metals

description: We propose a new semiclassical approach based on the dynamical mean field theory to treat the interactions of electrons with local lattice fluctuations. In this approach the classical (static) phonon modes are treated exactly whereas the quantum (dynamical) modes are expanded to second order and give rise to an effective semiclassical potential. We determine the limits of validity of the approximation, and demonstrate its usefulness by calculating the temperature dependent resistivity in the Fermi liquid to polaron crossover regime (leading to `saturation behavior') and also isotope effects on electronic properties including the spectral function, resistivity, and optical conductivity, problems beyond the scope of conventional diagrammatic perturbation theories.
