description: The phase diagram on the $θ$-$T$ plane in four dimensional SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is explored. We revisit the $θ$ dependence of the deconfinement transition temperature, $T_c(θ)$, on the lattice through the constraint effective potential for Polyakov loop. The $θ$ term is introduced by the reweighting method, and the critical $β$ is determined to $θ\sim 0.75$, where the interpolation in $β$ is carried out by the multipoint reweighting method. The $θ$ dependence of $T_c$ obtained here turns out to be consistent with the previous result by D'Elia and Negro \cite{DElia:2012pvq,DElia:2013uaf}. We also derive $T_c(θ)$ by classifying configurations into the high and low temperature phases and applying the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. It is found that the potential barrier in the double well potential at $T_c(θ)$ becomes higher with $θ$, which suggests that the first order transition continues robustly above $θ\sim 0.75$. Using information obtained here, we try to depict the expected $θ$ dependence of the free energy density at $T < T_c(0)$, which crosses the first order transition line at an intermediate value of $θ$. Finally, how the Lee-Yang zeros associated with the spontaneous CP violation appear is discussed formally in the large $N$ limit, and the locations of them are found to be $(θ_R,θ_I)=\left( (2m+1)π, \frac{2n+1}{2χV_4} \right)$ with $n$ and $m$ arbitrary integers.

description: The standard description of particles and fundamental interactions is crucially based on a regular metric background. In the language of differential geometry, this dependence is encoded into the action via Hodge star dualization. As a result, the conventional forms of the scalar and Yang-Mills actions break down in a pregeometric regime where the metric is degenerate. This suggests the use of first order formalism, where the metric may emerge from more fundamental constituents and the theory can be consistently extended to the pregeometric phase. We systematically explore different realizations and interpretations of first order formalism, finding that a fundamental vector or spinor substructure brings about continuum magnetization and polarization as integration constants. This effect is analogous to the description of the cosmological dark sector in a recent self-dual formulation of gravity, and the similar form obtained for the first order Yang-Mills theory suggests new paths toward unification.

description: Widely distributed optical fibers, together with phase-sensitive laser interferometry, can expand seismic detection methods and have great potential for epicenter localization. In this paper, we propose an integral response method based on a forward transmission scheme. It uses spectrum analysis and parameter fitting to localize the epicenter. With the given shape of the fiber ring, the integral phase changes of light propagating in the forward and reverse directions can be used to determine the direction, depth, distance of the epicenter, and seismic wave speed. For the noisy case with SNR=20 dB, the simulation results show ultrahigh precision when epicenter distance is 200 km: the error of the orientation angle is ~0.003°, the error of the P-wave speed is ~0.9 m/s, the error of the epicenter depth is ~9.5 m, and the error of the epicenter distance is ~200 m.

description: The carrier-phonon interaction in semiconductor quantum dots can greatly affect the optical preparation of the excited state. For resonant excitation used in the Rabi preparation scheme, the polaron is formed accompanied by the emission of a phonon wave packet, leading to a degradation of preparation fidelity. In this paper, phonon wave packets for different coherent excitation schemes are analyzed. One example is the adiabatic rapid passage scheme relying on a chirped excitation. Here, also a phonon wave packet is emitted, but the preparation fidelity can still be approximately unity. A focus is on the phonon impact on a recently proposed swing-up scheme, induced by two detuned pulses. Similar to the Rabi scheme, a degradation and a phonon wave packet emission is found, despite the detuning. If the swing-up frequency coincides with the maximum of the phonon spectral density, a series of wave packets is emitted yielding an even stronger degradation. The insight gained from our results will further help in designing an optimal preparation scheme for quantum dots.

description: A linear scattering problem for which incoming and outgoing waves are restricted to a finite number of radiation channels can be precisely described by a frequency-dependent scattering matrix. The entries of the scattering matrix, as functions of the frequency, give rise to the transmission and reflection spectra. To find the scattering matrix rigorously, it is necessary to solve numerically the partial differential equations governing the relevant waves. In this paper, we consider resonant structures with an isolated nondegenerate resonant mode of complex frequency $ω_\star$, and show that for real frequencies near $ω_0 = \mbox{Re}(ω_\star)$, the transmission and reflection spectra can be approximated using only the scattering matrix at $ω_0$ and information about the resonant mode. We also present a revised temporal coupled-mode theory that produces the same approximate formulas for the transmission and reflection spectra. Numerical examples for diffraction of plane waves by periodic structures are presented to validate our theory.

description: The developing field of stochastic thermodynamics extends concepts of macroscopic thermodynamics such as entropy production and work to the microscopic level of individual trajectories taken by a system through phase space. The scheme involves coupling the system to an environment - typically a source of Markovian noise that affects the dynamics of the system. Here we extend this framework to consider a non-Markovian environment, one whose dynamics have memory and which create additional correlations with the system variables, and illustrate this with a selection of simple examples. Such an environment produces a rich variety of behaviours. In particular, for a case of thermal relaxation, the distributions of entropy produced under the non-Markovian dynamics differ from the equivalent case of Markovian dynamics only by a delay time. When a time-dependent external work protocol is turned on, the system's correlations with the environment can either assist or hinder its approach to equilibrium, and affect its production of entropy, depending on the coupling strength between the system and environment.

description: We study the detection prospects of relatively light charged scalars in radiative Majorana neutrino mass models, such as the Zee model and its variants using scalar leptoquarks, at current and future neutrino telescopes. In particular, we show that these scalar mediators can give rise to Glashow-like resonance features in the ultra-high energy neutrino (UHE) event spectrum at the IceCube neutrino observatory and its high-energy upgrade IceCube-Gen2. The same scalars can also give rise to observable non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI), and we show that the UHE neutrinos provide a complementary probe of NSI. We also discuss an interesting possibility of producing such resonances by incoming sterile neutrino components in the case where neutrinos are pseudo-Dirac particles.

description: Recent attempts at the construction of holography for asymptotically flat spacetimes have taken two different routes. Celestial holography, involving a two dimensional (2d) CFT dual to 4d Minkowski spacetime, has generated novel results in asymptotic symmetry and scattering amplitudes. A different formulation, using Carrollian CFTs, has been principally used to provide some evidence for flat holography in lower dimensions. Understanding of flatspace scattering has been lacking in the Carroll framework. In this work, using ideas from Celestial holography, we show that 3d Carrollian CFTs living on the null boundary of 4d flatspace can potentially compute bulk scattering amplitudes. 3d Carrollian conformal correlators have two different branches, one depending on the null time direction and one independent of it. We propose that it is the time-dependent branch that is related to bulk scattering. We construct an explicit field theoretic example of a free massless Carrollian scalar that realises some desired properties.

title: Selektive Vaterschaft als Folge des kindlichen Geburtsstatus
Creators: name: Mehofer, Annika
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Analyse des väterlichen Zeitinvestments zwischen extrem frühgeborenen und reifgeborenen Kindern. Bezug wurde dabei sowohl auf das Geschlecht des Kindes als auch auf Arbeitstage/arbeitsfreie Tage genommen. Die Kontrollgruppe der Väter von Reifgeborenen unterteilte sich in die Profile enriched, balanced und restricted. Die Erhebung erfolgte im Rahmen des CENOF-Projekts (The Central European Network on Fatherhood) über den Zeitraum einer typischen Woche. Mittels App wurden die Aktivitäten Aufpassen, Versorgen, Toben/Raufen, Spielen, Kuscheln, Fernsehen, Förderung und nächtliche Versorgung von den Vätern erfasst. Die Ermittlung von Gruppenunterschieden wurde mit einer ANOVA und einem anschließenden t-Test gerechnet. Die Stichprobe umfasst 156 leibliche Väter von 84 Buben und 72 Mädchen aus Wien und Niederösterreich. Das durchschnittliche Alter der Kinder war 19 Monate (SD=6.18), das der Väter lag bei 37 Jahren (SD=6.18). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Zeitinvestment von Vätern extrem frühgeborener Kinder mit dem der Väterprofile enriched und balanced vergleichbar und selten so gering wie beim Väterprofil restricted ist. Unabhängig von der Aktivität wurde bei allen Vätern ein höheres zeitliches Investment an arbeitsfreien Tagen bemerkt. Ein größeres Investment wurde bei Vätern extrem frühgeborener Mädchen, speziell in der Versorgung und im gemeinsamen Spiel, beobachtet. Generell engagierten sich Väter im Umgang mit extrem frühgeborenen Buben deutlich weniger. Vaterschaft bei Frühgeborenen ist allgemein ein sehr junger Wissenschaftsbereich und bietet künftigen Arbeiten zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, um vertiefend zu forschen. Ein Fokus könnte dabei auf die genauere Untersuchung der Väterprofile gelegt werden.

description: The higher-order topological insulator (HOTI) is a new type of topological system which has special bulkedge correspondence compared with conventional topological insulators. In this work, we propose a scheme to realize Floquet HOTI in ultracold atom systems. With the combination of periodically spin-dependent driving of the superlattices and a next-next-nearest-neighbor d-wave-like anisotropic coupling term between different spin components, a Floquet second-order topological insulator with four zero-energy corner states emerges, whose Wannier bands are gapless and exhibit interesting bulk topology. Furthermore, the anisotropic coupling with nearest-neighbor form will also induce some intriguing topological phenomena, e.g. non-topologically protected corner states and topological semimetal for two different types of lattice structures respectively. Our scheme may give insight into the construction of different types of higher-order topological insulators in synthetic systems. It also provides an experimentally feasible platform to research the relations between different types of topological states and may have a wide range of applications in future.

description: Combining image sensor simulation tools (e.g., ISETCam) with physically based ray tracing (e.g., PBRT) offers possibilities for designing and evaluating novel imaging systems as well as for synthesizing physically accurate, labeled images for machine learning. One practical limitation has been simulating the optics precisely: Lens manufacturers generally prefer to keep lens design confidential. We present a pragmatic solution to this problem using a black box lens model in Zemax; such models provide necessary optical information while preserving the lens designer's intellectual property. First, we describe and provide software to construct a polynomial ray transfer function that characterizes how rays entering the lens at any position and angle subsequently exit the lens. We implement the ray-transfer calculation as a camera model in PBRT and confirm that the PBRT ray-transfer calculations match the Zemax lens calculations for edge spread functions and relative illumination.

description: Introdução. As diarreias agudas constituem ainda um motivo muito frequente de atendimento nos Serviços de Urgência, sendo em geral benignas e auto-limitadas.

Objectivo. Conhecer a frequência de isolamento de Campylobacter jejuni e as características clínicas desta infecção.

Material e métodos. Foi efectuada uma análise retrospectiva dos dados clínicos e epidemiológicos contidos nos processos das crianças com coproculturas positivas para este gérmen, admitidas no Serviço de Urgência (SU), nos anos de 2003 e 2004.

Resultados. No período do estudo foram admitidas no SU7.183 crianças com diarreia aguda e foram feitas 503 coproculturas (7%). Destas, 181 (36%) foram positivas. As bactérias mais frequentemente isoladas foram Salmonella enteritidis e Salmonella typhimurium (54%) seguidas de Campylobacter jejuni (23%). As infecções por Campylobacter jejuni ocorreram sobretudo em crianças no primeiro ano de vida (53%), de meio rural (60%) e apenas 18% dos casos necessitaram de admissão em Unidade de Internamento de Curta Duração. A eritromicina foi utilizada em 3 casos. A evolução foi boa.

Conclusão. Também em Portugal o Campylobacter jejuni é um agente etiológico importante de diarreia bacteriana aguda. Está por fazer entre nós a investigação que permita esclarecer as fontes de infecção. Embora a maior parte destas situações tenham uma evolução espontânea favorável, a frequência desta bactéria nas diarreias agudas do ambulatório, pode ter implicações na escolha do antibiótico, nos casos seleccionados em que for decidida a sua prescrição.

description: We review warped compactifications of superstring theory with some attention to the limit in which these resemble "bottom-up" phenomenological models. In addition to some discussion of the original Klebanov-Witten and Klebanov-Strassler set-ups, we also touch on various generalizations of the geometry that have been considered. Various other systems with a holographic duality are also briefly reviewed. The point of this latter exploration is to illustrate how far beyond the standard AdS(5) x S(5) set-up things have moved over the years.

description: Contexto. Nos Serviços de Urgência Pediátricos, os doentes referenciados por outros profissionais de saúde representam uma proporção importante dos atendimentos diários. Actuação coordenada entre os cuidados de saúde primários e secundários permitiria uma melhor assistência à população e racionalização dos recursos de saúde.

Objectivos. Identificar os motivos e a adequação da referenciação de crianças ao Serviço de Urgência, quais as atitudes em meio hospitalar após a sua observação clínica.

Metodologia. Estudo descritivo transversal, com componente analítico, das crianças referenciadas à Urgência de Pediatria, nos dias úteis das 08:00 às 24:00, no período de Fevereiro a Julho de 2003. A referenciação foi considerada adequada caso se verificasse algum dos seguintes critérios: necessidade de realização de exames, necessidade de observação por outra especialidade, terapêutica no Serviço de Urgência ou necessidade de internamento.

Resultados. A amostra obtida foi de 132 crianças, das quais 25% foram referenciadas por falta de capacidade de atendimento no Centro de Saúde. Areferenciação pelos Centros de Saúde (65%) ocorreu principalmente no período das 12:00 às 20:00 (60%). O principal motivo de envio foi a sintomatologia respiratória (28,3%). No Serviço de Urgência, em 58,6% dos doentes foram realizados exames complementares de diagnóstico e foi necessária a observação por outra especialidade em 18,2% dos casos. Em 53,5% das crianças o diagnóstico definitivo foi infecção respiratória. A maioria (53%) necessitou de terapêutica no Serviço de Urgência e a necessidade de internamento verificou-se em 15% dos casos. A referenciação foi considerada adequada em 82% da amostra.

Conclusões. É fundamental o reforço de médicos nos Centros de Saúde, nomeadamente a existência do Pediatra Comunitário, a realização de alguns exames complementares, bem como alguns tipos de terapêutica. A melhoria da ligação comunidade/serviços de saúde e a adequação do recurso às urgências hospitalares reduziria o número de crianças observadas no Serviço de Urgência Pediátrico.

title: Antisemitismus als Politik des Todes
Creators: name: Lauchard, Adrian Max
Year: 2017

description: Diese Masterarbeit analysiert die Bedeutung von Tod und Vernichtung im modernen Antisemitismus. Der Fokus dieser Masterarbeit liegt auf dem modernen Antisemitismus, der anhand der politikwissenschaftlichen Analyse und mithilfe der Psychoanalyse hinsichtlich der Bedeutung von Tod und Vernichtung untersucht wird. Mithilfe der Psychoanalyse des Antisemitismus soll die politikwissenschaftliche Analyse und die individuellen und kollektiven psychischen Dispositionen des modernen Antisemitismus ergänzt werden. Dabei soll ein Begriff vom modernen Antisemitismus entwickelt werden, der es erlaubt, die Aspekte Tod und Vernichtung zu erörtern. Dies geschieht auf der Basis von theoretischer Begriffsarbeit und empirischen Beispielen aus der jüngeren Vergangenheit. Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, die Bedeutung von Tod und Vernichtung im modernen Antisemitismus darzustellen und das politische Weltbild des modernen Antisemitismus hinsichtlich seiner Spezifik besser verständlich zu machen.
description: This master´s thesis analyzes the importance of death and destruction in modern antisemitism. The focus of this master´s thesis lies on modern antisemitism, wherein with the aid of political science analysis and psychoanalysis the importance of death and destruction is going to be examined. With the help of the psychoanalysis of antisemitism the political science analysis should be complemented with the individual and collective dispositions of modern antisemitism. This should develop a technical term of modern antisemitism, which allows it to discuss the aspects of death and destruction. This happens on a base of theoretic conceptual work and empirical examples from the recent past. The target of this master´s thesis is to show the importance of death and destruction in modern antisemitism and to clarify the political worldview of modern antisemitism regarding the specifics of this topic.

description: Personalisation of products and services is fast becoming the driver of success in banking and commerce. Machine learning holds the promise of gaining a deeper understanding of and tailoring to customers' needs and preferences. Whereas traditional solutions to financial decision problems frequently rely on model assumptions, reinforcement learning is able to exploit large amounts of data to improve customer modelling and decision-making in complex financial environments with fewer assumptions. Model explainability and interpretability present challenges from a regulatory perspective which demands transparency for acceptance; they also offer the opportunity for improved insight into and understanding of customers. Post-hoc approaches are typically used for explaining pretrained reinforcement learning models. Based on our previous modeling of customer spending behaviour, we adapt our recent reinforcement learning algorithm that intrinsically characterizes desirable behaviours and we transition to the problem of asset management. We train inherently interpretable reinforcement learning agents to give investment advice that is aligned with prototype financial personality traits which are combined to make a final recommendation. We observe that the trained agents' advice adheres to their intended characteristics, they learn the value of compound growth, and, without any explicit reference, the notion of risk as well as improved policy convergence.

description: Resumo

A megacalicose é uma malformação renal congénita rara, caracterizada pela dilatação homogénea dos cálices renais, de natureza não obstrutiva e não evolutiva. Esta entidade é frequentemente um achado ocasional em exames imagiológicos efectuados, no contexto de infecção urinária ou de litíase renal, podendo também ser diagnosticada no estudo pós-natal de hidronefrose detectada numa ecografia fetal.

Apresenta-se o caso clínico de uma criança do sexo feminino, com o diagnóstico pré-natal de hidronefrose, internada na primeira semana de vida com o diagnóstico de pielonefrite aguda por Escherichia coli. No estudo ecográfico subsequente, com um mês de vida, detectou-se ectasia de múltiplos cálices no rim direito, sem dilatação do bacinete ou uréter homolaterais, sugerindo o diagnóstico de megacalicose.

description: We studied the line emission from CH3CN and its deuterated isotopologue CH$_2$DCN towards the prototypical Class I object SVS13-A, where the deuteration of a large number of species has already been reported. Our goal is to measure the CH$_3$CN deuteration in a Class I protostar, for the first time, in order to constrain the CH$_3$CN formation pathways and the chemical evolution from the early prestellar core and Class 0 to the evolved Class I stages. We imaged CH2DCN towards SVS13-A using the IRAM NOEMA interferometer at 3mm in the context of the Large Program SOLIS (with a spatial resolution of 1.8"x1.2"). The NOEMA images have been complemented by the CH$_3$CN and CH$_2$DCN spectra collected by the IRAM-30m Large Program ASAI, that provided an unbiased spectral survey at 3mm, 2mm, and 1.3mm. The observed line emission has been analysed using LTE and non-LTE LVG approaches. The NOEMA/SOLIS images of CH2DCN show that this species emits in an unresolved area centered towards the SVS13-A continuum emission peak, suggesting that methyl cyanide and its isotopologues are associated with the hot corino of SVS13-A, previously imaged via other iCOMs. In addition, we detected 41 and 11 ASAI transitions of CH$_3$CN and CH2DCN, respectively, which cover upper level energies (Eup) from 13 to 442 K and from 18 K to 200 K, respectively. The derived [CH2DCN]/[CH3CN] ratio is $\sim$9\%. This value is consistent with those measured towards prestellar cores and a factor 2-3 higher than those measured in Class 0 protostars. Contrarily to what expected for other molecular species, the CH3CN deuteration does not show a decrease in SVS13-A with respect to measurements in younger prestellar cores and Class 0 protostars. Finally, we discuss why our new results suggest that CH3CN was likely synthesised via gas-phase reactions and frozen onto the dust grain mantles during the cold prestellar phase.

title: Popkultur versus Volkskultur - Amerikanisierung im Burgenland
Creators: name: Vegh, Jakob
Year: 2017

description: Die Magisterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Einfluss der Vereinigten Staaten in Österreich und speziell im Burgenland der Nachkriegszeit. Ob und wie es der amerikanischen Populärkultur gelungen ist, im traditionell der Volkskultur verhafteten agrarisch strukturierten Land Jugendliche für sich zu gewinnen. Den theoretischen Hintergrund der Untersuchung bilden Pierre Bourdieus Analyse des kulturellen Konsums, die Cultural Studies mit dem Konnex Medienkonsum und Jugendkultur sowie Wilhelm Vershofens Nutzenleiter-Produktmodell. Im Rahmen der qualitativen Sozialforschung wird als Erhebungsmethode die Gruppendiskussion gewählt, bei der Meinungen und Einstellungen im sozialen Konsens erhoben werden. Die Auswertung erfolgt nach Mayrings inhaltsanalytischem Ablaufmodell. Mit spezifischer Fachliteratur und der Interpretation dreier Gruppendiskussionen mit ZeitzeugInnen werden themenbezogene Informationen eingeholt, analysiert und interpretiert. Auf dieser Grundlage werden Forschungsfragen beantwortet, Hypothesen gebildet und Bezüge zur Theorie abgeleitet. Die Ergebnisse bilden die wirtschaftlichen, sozialen, kulturellen und familiären Gegebenheiten in der burgenländischen Nachkriegszeit ab. Für Jugendliche war Amerika eine Marke, der sie blind vertrauten. Die amerikanische Subkultur war für Jugendliche ein Ventil, um Dampf und Frustration abzulassen und sich von der Elterngeneration abzugrenzen. Amerika mit Donald Trump wird heute kritisch beurteilt. Die Vereinigten Staaten haben ihre Strahlkraft verloren.
description: The Master’s thesis deals with the influence of the United States in Austria and particularly in post-war Burgenland. Whether and how American popular culture has succeeded in attracting young people, in a Land which is agriculturally structured and traditionally saturated in folk culture. The theoretical background of the study is the analysis of cultural consumption by Pierre Bourdieu, the Cultural Studies with the connection Media Consumption and Youth Culture, and the benefit - product model of Wilhelm Vershofen. Within the framework of qualitative social research, the focus group is chosen as a data collection method, in which opinions and attitudes are collected in a social consensus. The evaluation is carried out by using the method of qualitative content analysis by Mayring. With relevant specialist literature and the interpretation of three focus groups with contemporary witnesses, subject-related information is collected, analyzed and interpreted. On this basis, research questions are answered, hypotheses are formed and references to the theory are derived. The results reflect the economic, social, cultural and familial circumstances in post-war Burgenland. For adolescents, America was a brand that they blindly trusted. The American subculture was a release for adolescents to let off steam and frustration and to separate themselves from the parental generation. America with Donald Trump is critically reviewed today. The United States have lost their radiance.
