description: In der Arbeit wird die deutsche Wiedervereinigung geschlossen und empirisch verifiziert makroökonomisch interpretiert. Der erste datenanalytische Teil befasst sich mit der Identifikation der Größe von Transfers und Faktorpreissubventionen. Die Schätzung einer Stochastic Frontier Produktionsfunktion erlaubt eine Einschätzung in welchem quantitativen Verhältnis in Ostdeutschland Produktivität, Kapitalstock und Arbeitseinsatz zu einender stehen und wie sie sich entwickelt haben. Darauf aufbauend wird ein dynamisches Gleichgewichtsmodell formuliert mit dessen Hilfe ein integriertes Bild davon gezeichnet wird, wie niedrige Produktivität, Kapitalstock, Ost West Transfers und Migrationen den Vereinigungsprozess beeinflusst haben. Dadurch lassen sich auch die Kosten des Vereinigungsprozesses abschätzen. Mittels einer stochastischen Erweiterung des Modells werden im dritten Abschnitt Szenarios der Produktivitäts- und Transferentwicklung im Osten diskutiert. Die Modellierung der Migrationen durch ein dynamisches Gleichgewichtskalkül erlaubt es Optionswerte des Wartens zu berücksichtigen. Im abschließenden vierten Abschnitt wird eine Erklärung der Stagnation des Konvergenzprozesses im Rahmen eines endogenen Wachstumsmodells basierend auf den initialen Faktoraustattungsverhältnissen in Ostdeutschland vorgeschlagen. Demnach lag zu Begin der Wiedervereinigung im Osten ein relatives Realkapitaldefizit vor. Dies verursachte eine relative Zinserhöhung, die zu einer Spezialisierung der Ostökonomie auf Realkapitalinvestitionen führte. Der in dieser Phase vernachlässigte Humankapitalstock war für das niedrige Produktivitätswachstum verantwortlich. Die Arbeit ist ein Beitrag zum integrierten Verständnis der ökonomischen Prozesse, was eine Grundvoraussetzung für eine zielgerichtete Wirtschaftpolitik ist.

Holotype. ♂, BRAZIL: Pernambuco: Recife, Horto Dois Irmãos, xi.1969, H.S. Lopes (MZSP; not examined). The specimen has not yet been returned to the MZSP, so was unavailable for study.
 Recognition. Borgmeier & Prado compared this species to D. canaliculata because of the elongate, tapering depression distal to the peglike setae, but many other species have this structure. The hind femur of D. canaliculata has a more defined, carinate ventral concavity that is filled with spinuli (Fig. 228). Amongst our material, the species most closely resembling the illustration of D. subsulcata is D. minilobata, a species apparently with a smaller depression and a darker pleuron. Until we can examine the holotype of D. subsulcata, we cannot be sure if the apparent differences between the two are substantial or not.
 Previously (Brown & Kung, 2007) we commented on the differences between D. subsulcata and D. polleti Brown & Kung.

description: For a fixed odd prime q we investigate the first and second order terms of the asymptotic series expansion for the number of n\le x such that q does not divide phi(n). Part of the analysis involves a careful study of the Euler-Kronecker constants for cyclotomic fields. In particular, we show that the prime k-tuples conjecture and a conjecture of Ihara about the distribution of these Euler-Kronecker constants cannot be both true.

description: By using Stationary-to-Randers correspondence (SRC), a characterization of light and time-convexity of the boundary of a region of a standard stationary (n+1)-spacetime is obtained, in terms of the convexity of the boundary of a domain in a Finsler n or (n+1)-space of Randers type. The latter convexity is analyzed in depth and, as a consequence, the causal simplicity and the existence of causal geodesics confined in the region and connecting a point to a stationary line are characterized. Applications to asymptotically flat spacetimes include the light-convexity of stationary hypersurfaces which project in a spacelike section of an end onto a sphere of large radius, as well as the characterization of their time-convexity with natural physical interpretations. The lens effect of both light rays and freely falling massive particles with a finite lifetime, (i.e. the multiplicity of such connecting curves) is characterized in terms of the focalization of the geodesics in the underlying Randers manifolds.

description: Three-dimensional circuits built upon multiple layers of polyimide are required for constructing Si/SiGe monolithic microwave/mm-wave integrated circuits on low resistivity Si wafers. However, the closely spaced transmission lines are susceptible to high levels of cross-coupling, which degrades the overall circuit performance. In this paper, theoretical and experimental results on coupling of Finite Ground Coplanar(FGC) waveguides embedded in polyimide layers are presented for the first time. These results show that FGC lines have approximately 8 dB lower coupling than coupled Coplanar Waveguides. Furthermore, it is shown that the forward andbackward coupling characteristics for FGC lines do not resemblethe coupling characteristics of other transmission lines such as microstrip

description: Odd-parity, spin-triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4 has been found to feature exotic vortex physics including half-flux quanta trapped in a doubly connected sample and the formation of vortex lattices at low fields. The consequences of these vortex states on the low-temperature magnetoresistive behavior of mesoscopic samples of Sr2RuO4 were investigated in this work using ring device fabricated on mechanically exfoliated single crystals of Sr2RuO4 by photolithography and focused ion beam. With the magnetic field applied perpendicular to the in-plane direction, thin-wall rings of Sr2RuO4 were found to exhibit pronounced quantum oscillations with a conventional period of the full-flux quantum even though the unexpectedly large amplitude and the number of oscillations suggest the observation of vortex-flow-dominated magnetoresistance oscillations rather than a conventional Little-Parks effect. For rings with a thick wall, two distinct periods of quantum oscillations were found in high and low field regimes, respectively, which we argue to be associated with the "lock-in" of a vortex lattice in these thick-wall rings. No evidence for half-flux-quantum resistance oscillations were identified in any sample measured so far without the presence of an in-plane field.

description: [abridged] The pressure exerted by the radiation of young stars may be an important feedback mechanism in forming star clusters and the disks of starburst galaxies. However, there is great uncertainty in how efficiently radiation couples to matter in these high optical depth environments. In particular, it is unclear what levels of turbulence the radiation can produce, and whether the infrared radiation trapped by the dust opacity can give rise to heavily mass-loaded winds. In this paper we report a series of two-dimensional flux-limited diffusion radiation-hydrodynamics calculations performed with the code ORION in which we drive strong radiation fluxes through columns of dusty matter confined by gravity. We consider both systems where the radiation flux is sub-Eddington throughout the gas column, and where it is super-Eddington at the midplane but sub-Eddington in the atmosphere. In the latter, we find that the radiation-matter interaction gives rise to radiation-driven Rayleigh-Taylor instability, which drives supersonic turbulence at a level sufficient to fully explain the turbulence seen in Galactic protocluster gas clouds, and to make a non-trivial contribution to the turbulence observed in starburst galaxy disks. However, the instability also produces a channel structure in which the radiation-matter interaction is reduced because the radiation field is not fully trapped. For astrophysical parameters relevant to forming star clusters and starburst galaxies, we find that this effect reduces the net momentum deposition rate in the dusty gas by a factor of ~2-6 compared to simple analytic estimates, and that in steady state the Eddington ratio reaches unity and there are no strong winds. We provide an approximation formula, appropriate for implementation in analytic models and non-radiative simulations, for the force exerted by the infrared radiation field in this regime.

description: Noise and s-parameters of the p and n type MOSFETs were measured and simulated for the different bias points. The pad parasitic models of the „short“ and „open“ were extracted by means of comparison of measured and simulated s-parameters. The influence of the pad elements on the microwave noise was analyzed. The simulation of intrinsic device noise was performed on the basis of good fit of measured and simulated noise and s-parameters of the DUT. For the narrow gate (50 µm) width devices the pad parasitics significantly affect microwave noise performance for both p and n type devices. At the lower drain currents the kinks and loops in the s-parameters were observed. At low drain current a resonant peak in NFmin and Rn around 8 GHz was found. Those resonant effects observed in noise and s-parameters diminish with the increase of the drain current and were qualitatively accounted for by the simulations by using equivalent circuit with the parasitic inductive element coupled to the gate.

description: Recent supernovae (SNe) observations have motivated renewed interest in SN shock breakouts from stars surrounded by thick winds. In such events the interaction with the wind powers the observed luminosity, and predictions include observable hard X-rays. Wind breakouts on timescales of a day or longer are currently the most probable for detection. Here we study the signal that follows such events. We start from the breakout of the radiation mediated shock, finding that the breakout temperature can vary significantly from one event to another ($10^4 - 5 \times 10^6$ K) due to possible deviation from thermal equilibrium. In general, events with longer breakout pulse duration, $t_{bo}$, are softer. We follow the observed radiation through the evolution of the collisionless shock which forms after the breakout of the radiation mediated shock. We restrict the study of the collisionless shock evolution to cases where the breakout itself is in thermal equilibrium, peaking in optical/UV. In these cases the post-breakout emission contains two spectral components - soft (optical/UV) and hard (X-rays and possibly soft $γ$-rays). Right after the breakout pulse X-rays are strongly suppressed, and they carry only a small fraction of the total luminosity. The hard component becomes harder and its luminosity rises quickly afterwards, gaining dominance at $\sim 10-50 \,t_{bo}$. The ratio of the peak optical/UV to the peak X-ray luminosity depends mostly on the breakout time. In terms of prospects for X-ray and soft gamma-ray detections, it is best to observe 100-500 days after explosions with breakout timescales between a week and a month.

On the Stability of Random Multiple Access with Stochastic Energy Harvesting

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: In this paper, we consider the random access of nodes having energy harvesting capability and a battery to store the harvested energy. Each node attempts to transmit the head-of-line packet in the queue if its battery is nonempty. The packet and energy arrivals into the queue and the battery are all modeled as a discrete-time stochastic process. The main contribution of this paper is the exact characterization of the stability region of the packet queues given the energy harvesting rates when a pair of nodes are randomly accessing a common channel having multipacket reception (MPR) capability. The channel with MPR capability is a generalized form of the wireless channel modeling which allows probabilistic receptions of the simultaneously transmitted packets. The results obtained in this paper are fairly general as the cases with unlimited energy for transmissions both with the collision channel and the channel with MPR capability can be derived from ours as special cases. Furthermore, we study the impact of the finiteness of the batteries on the achievable stability region.

A MOS Model 9 Extension for GHz CMOS RF Circuit Design

Year: 2001
Subjects: ING-INF/01 Elettronica

description: This paper presents an extension to the compact MOS model 9 that enables accurate simulation of CMOS RF circuits in the GHz range. The MOS model 9 is generally accepted for low frequency design, but it is quite inaccurate at GHz frequencies if device parasitics are not considered. The presented model is based on a MOS model 9, extended by a network of parasitics, consisting of six resistors, five capacitors, and two JUNCAP diode models. A model developed for a 0.25 µm CMOS technology shows good accuracy in the measured frequency range up to 12 GHz and over a wide bias range. By applying simple rules for scaling of parasitics and a unit transistor layout approach, the model also shows scalability with respect to device width. The model also predicts third-order intercept point with good accuracy, and simulations and measurements on a 2 GHz CMOS amplifier shows also good agreement.
Characterization of embryonic muscle migration in Caenorhabditis elegans and of the role of unc-54 and mem-1 in inhibiting ectopic muscle membrane extensions.
Creators: name: Viveiros, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: C. elegans body wall muscle is formed after a series of well-orchestrated steps. This thesis describes the plasma membrane dynamics of these migrating embryonic cells and the identification of two genes unc-54/MHB and mem-1 that appear to be involved negatively regulating post-embryonic muscle membrane extensions. During the characterization of embryonic muscle morphogenesis, whereby two rows of cells split and migrate dorsally or ventrally to form the final four muscle quadrants present upon hatching, I observed an anterior migration event, whereby the anterior-most pair of cells in each of the four muscle quadrants extends long processes to the anterior tip of the developing embryo. The anterior-most muscle cells then follow these extensions into their final positions in the developing embryo. Using RNAi and mutant analysis, I have identified laminin as being involved in mediating the dorsal-ventral muscle migrations and that the α-integrin INA-1, the ephrin VAB-2 and its receptor VAB-1 and the Robo receptor SAX-3 indirectly promote the proper extension of the ventral anterior muscle processes by organizing the embryonic neurons so as to provide a clear path for muscle membrane extension. Post embryonically, the loss of either unc-54 (a myosin heavy chain B), or mem-1 (a WD repeat domain protein) results in ectopic membrane extensions from the mature muscle cells. These extensions can be rescued via targeted depletion of actin remodeling or cell adhesion complex components. During the analysis of these mutations I identified a predisposition for generating these ectopic membrane extensions that is conferred by using ectopic expression of PAT-3/β-integrin that is bound to GFP and that using the PAT-3/β-integrin transmembrane domain to localize GFP to the plasma membrane is sufficient to generate this sensitivity.

description: MEMS technology has major applica-tions in developing smaller, faster and less energy consuming devices provided that reliability of pack-aging/ interconnect technology is sufficiently addressed. This paper presents a low cost, on-wafer, silicon mi-cromachined packaging scheme for RF MEMS switches having excellent electrical performance in K-band. In particular, the package demonstrates an insertion loss of 0.1dB and a return loss of 32dB at 20 GHz. The package is fabricated in parallel with the MEMS switch on the same wafer and therefore requires no lossy solder bumps or bond wires to achieve signal propagation.
Associated motion as an applicative in Nuer

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Abstract Cross-linguistically, associated motion (AM) does not usually affect the valence of the verb (Belkadi 2016, Guillaume and Koch 2021); when it does, it is sporadic and lexically restricted (e.g. Payne 2021). Yet in the West Nilotic language Nuer, AM introduces an applied phrase with argument properties. Example in (1) shows that the locative noun rɛ̄j ‘inside’ is an optional adjunct (as signalled by the brackets) of the transitive verb lɛ́p ‘open’. By contrast, in (2) it is an obligatory constituent that indicates the goal of the motion co-event. AM in (2) is signalled on the verb stem by changes in vowel quality and tone, as compared to the transitive verb in (1). (1) cʌ̤́ t̪í̤i̤i̤ɰ  lɛ́p (rɛ̄j) pfv.1sg door.sg open.tr.nf inside(loc) ‘I opened the door (inside).’ (2) cʌ̤́ t̪í̤i̤i̤ɰ lɛ̀ap  rɛ̄j pfv.1sg door.sg open.am.nf inside(loc) ‘I opened the door whilst going inside.’ When antipassive-like morphology is applied to AM verbs, the motion co-event is retained, and the goal is demoted to an oblique PP, as is evident from (3a). Yet, this goal has the properties of an argument, as evidenced by the facts that (i) omitting it renders the sentence ungrammatical, as shown in (3b), and (ii) because it cannot invert with the adjunct, as shown in (3c). The verb derivation in (3) is known as the associated motion oblique (AM.OBL). (3) a. cʌ̤́ t̪í̤i̤i̤ɰ lɛ̀p kʌ̤́ rɛ̄j pfv.1sg door.sg open.am.obl.nf prep inside(loc) ‘I opened the door whilst going inside.’ b. * cʌ̤́ t̪í̤i̤i̤ɰ lɛ̀p  pfv.1sg door.sg open.am.obl.nf ‘I opened the door whilst going.’ c. * cʌ̤́ t̪í̤i̤i̤ɰ lɛ̀p kɛ̀ ɟʊ̄bà kʌ̤́ rɛ̄j pfv.1sg door.sg open.am.obl.nf prep Juba prep inside(loc) ‘I opened the door in Juba whilst going inside.’ In this paper we provide an overview of this typologically unusual system of AM, comparing it to the valence-changing operations observed in the literature on applicatives and antipassives. We conclude that the AM in Nuer is an applicative derivation and the AM.OBL is a special type of valence-decreasing operation whereby the oblique retains some argument properties.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a single-ended N-state molecular zipper based on a model originally proposed by Kittel. The molecule is driven unidirectionally towards the completely unzipped state with increasing time t, where the driving lowers the energies of states with k unzipped links by an amount proportional to kt. We solve the Pauli rate equation for the state probabilities and the partial differential equations, which yield the probability distributions for the work performed on the zipper and for the heat exchanged with the thermal reservoir. Similarly to the related equilibrium model, two different regimes can be identified at a given temperature with respect to the released molecular degrees of freedom per broken bond. In these two regimes the time evolution of the state probabilities as well as of the work and heat distributions show a qualitatively different behavior.

description: This paper presents a metal-to-metal contact MEMS shunt switch suitable for DC-40 GHz applications. A novel pull-down electrode is used which applies the electrostatic force at the same lo-cation as the metal-to-metal contact area. A contact resistance of 0.15 − 0.35  is repeatably achieved, and results in an isolation of − 40 dB at 0.1-3 GHz. The measured isolation is still better than − 20 dB at 40 GHz. The DC-contact shunt switch is used in a se-ries/ shunt design to result in − 60 dB isolation at 5 GHz and bet-ter than − 40 dB up to 40 GHz. The application areas are in high-isolation/ low-loss switches for telecommunication and radar systems.

description: We show that for closed finite sized systems with an odd number of real fermionic modes, even in the presence of interactions, there are always at least two fermionic operators that commute with the Hamiltonian.There is a zero mode corresponding to the fermion parity operator, as shown by Akhmerov, as well as additional linearly independent zero modes, one of which is 1) the one that is continuously connected to the Majorana mode solution in the non-interacting limit, and 2) less prone to decoherence when the system is opened to contact with an infinite bath. We also show that in the idealized situation where there are two or more well separated zero modes each associated with a finite number of fermions at a localized vortex, these modes have non-Abelian Ising statistics under braiding. Furthermore the algebra of the zero mode operators makes them useful for fermionic quantum computation.

Investigating markers of cellular aging in Human Immunodeficiency Virus infected and uninfected adults
Creators: name: Zanet, DeAnna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Background: Despite successful combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), people living with HIV have shorter lifespans than the general population. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) oxidative damage are two frequently studied markers of aging that have recently been linked. Telomerase extends telomeres in highly proliferative tissues and is believed to play a protective role against oxidative stress in mitochondria. Given that both HIV and cART have the potential to accelerate cellular aging processes, we sought to measure LTL and mtDNA apparent oxidative damage (AOD) in the context of HIV infection and treatment. Methods: Demographic and clinical data and whole blood were collected from adults aged 19-75 enrolled in a prospective cohort on HIV therapy and aging (CARMA). LTL were measured by qPCR. Variables statistically correlated with LTL on univariate analysis (p<0.15) were candidates for a multivariate model. A subset of subjects with LTL data was selected to explore the relationship between LTL and mtDNA AOD, as measured by a quantitative long PCR based assay. Results: Of the 395 study participants, 58% were HIV infected, 76% were women, and 71% were current or previous smokers. In a multivariate model of all participants, older age, HIV infection, active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and smoking were associated with shorter LTL. Smoking was associated with shorter LTL only in HIV uninfected subjects. Among the latter, age and smoking were independently related to shorter LTL. In contrast, in two models among HIV infected individuals, age and having either active HCV or a peak HIV plasma viral load ≥100,000 copies/ml were associated with shorter LTL. Other HIV disease or cART parameters were unrelated to LTL. In the 115 subjects for whom mtDNA AOD was measured, there was no relationship between AOD and age, HIV status or LTL. Conclusions: HIV infection was independently associated with shorter LTL in this cohort and this was related to peak viremia. Future studies should examine the effects of early HIV and HCV therapy, as well as smoking cessation, on LTL. The mtDNA AOD results suggest that more validation work is needed for use of this assay with clinical samples.

description: This paper deals with the realization of micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) components dedicated to microwave and millimeter-wave applications and focuses on the advantage of using bulk silicon micro-machining. The silicon substrate etching benefits have been demonstrated through both electromagnetic simulations and measurements of a single MEM switch. Important improvements in term of insertion loss and isolation have been obtained. Further developments in term of distributed switches are addressed.
New instability of non-extremal black holes: spitting out supertubes

description: We search for stable bound states of non-extremal rotating three-charge black holes in five dimensions (Cvetic-Youm black holes) and supertubes. We do this by studying the potential of supertube probes in the non-extremal black hole background and find that generically the marginally bound state of the supersymmetric limit becomes metastable and disappears with non-extremality (higher temperature). However near extremality there is a range of parameters allowing for stable bound states, which have lower energy than the supertube-black hole merger. Angular momentum is crucial for this effect. We use this setup in the D1-D5 decoupling limit to map a thermodynamic instability of the CFT (a new phase which is entropically dominant over the black hole phase) to a tunneling instability of the black hole towards the supertube-black hole bound state. This generalizes the results of ArXiv:1108.0411 [hep-th], which mapped an entropy enigma in the bulk to the dual CFT in a supersymmetric setup.

description: This abstract describes MEMS thermally actuated millimeter wave switches. The switches are constructed using a stress controlled dielectric membrane, with patterned metallic contacts. The resulting switches can be operated at low voltage, without sacrificing the spring constant. The structure allows to build resistive switches up to millimeter wave. Full wave simulations were performed using FEM and MoM codes, and agree well with measurements. A wafer scale packaging technique has been developed to protect the components during the dicing stage, and for long term durability. The measured isolation are better than 35 dB between 30 and 40 GHz.

Characterizing $W^{2,p}$~submanifolds by $p$-integrability of global curvatures

description: We give sufficient and necessary geometric conditions, guaranteeing that an immersed compact closed manifold $Σ^m\subset \R^n$ of class $C^1$ and of arbitrary dimension and codimension (or, more generally, an Ahlfors-regular compact set $Σ$ satisfying a mild general condition relating the size of holes in $Σ$ to the flatness of $Σ$ measured in terms of beta numbers) is in fact an embedded manifold of class $C^{1,τ}\cap W^{2,p}$, where $p>m$ and $τ=1-m/p$. The results are based on a careful analysis of Morrey estimates for integral curvature--like energies, with integrands expressed geometrically, in terms of functions that are designed to measure either (a) the shape of simplices with vertices on $Σ$ or (b) the size of spheres tangent to $Σ$ at one point and passing through another point of $Σ$. Appropriately defined \emph{maximal functions} of such integrands turn out to be of class $L^p(Σ)$ for $p>m$ if and only if the local graph representations of $Σ$ have second order derivatives in $L^p$ and $Σ$ is embedded. There are two ingredients behind this result. One of them is an equivalent definition of Sobolev spaces, widely used nowadays in analysis on metric spaces. The second one is a careful analysis of local Reifenberg flatness (and of the decay of functions measuring that flatness) for sets with finite curvature energies. In addition, for the geometric curvature energy involving tangent spheres we provide a nontrivial lower bound that is attained if and only if the admissible set $Σ$ is a round sphere.

description: In searches for rare phenomena such as elastic scattering of dark matter particles or neutrinoless double beta decay, alpha decays of Rn222 progenies attached to the surfaces of the detection material have been identified as a serious source of background. In measurements with CsI(Tl) scintillator crystals, we demonstrate that alpha decays of surface contaminants produce fast signals with a characteristic mean-time distribution that is distinct from those of neutron- and gamma-induced events.

description: We present tree-level scattering amplitudes in beta-deformed super Yang-Mills theory in terms of new generating functions, derived by construction of a phase operator and application thereof to the N = 4 superamplitudes. The technique is explicitly illustrated for the MHV and NMHV sectors. Along these lines we propose a phase representation of the N = 4 superconformal algebra realized on deformed amplitudes in the planar limit. Validity of the MHV vertex expansion is proven and a connection to non-planar multi-loop unitarity cuts is established. Our derivations are also compatible with the related gamma-deformation.
