description: Angeregt wurde diese Dissertation durch ein Industrieprojekt des Fachgebietes Messtechnik der FakultÄat Maschinenbau an der Universität Dortmund. Ziel dieses Projektes war die Entwicklung von automatisierten Pneumatikprüfständen. Gesteigerte Anforderungen an die Software zwangen zu einer Suche nach einem neuen Betriebssystem. Lange Zeit teilten sich über 70 Real Time Systeme den Markt. Zum einen handelt es sich oft um spezielle Systeme, die nur auf spezieller Hardware laufen, und zum anderen um solche, die nur hochspezialisierte Funktionen erfüllen. Im Laufe der Zeit haben sich die Anforderungen geändert. Auf der einen Seite steht die Leistungsentwicklung der Hardware, auf der anderen Seite sollen Echtzeit-Systeme heute viel flexibler sein als früher. Hierdurch ist der Markt der echtzeitfähigen Betriebssysteme stark in Bewegung geraten und die 'Nischenprodukte' werden durch echtzeitfähige Standardbetriebssysteme, hier ist besonders Linux zu nennen, verdrängt.Basierend auf einem verallgemeinerten Steuerungssystem in der Automatisierungstechnik wurden die wichtigen Kriterien bei der Auswahl eines Betriebsystems herausgearbeitet. Die vier sich ergebenden Kategorien sind: Kosten, Sicherheit, Flexibilität und Performance. Diesen zugeordnet sind die Kriterien: Open Source, Commmunity Projekt, professioneller Support, innere und äußere Sicherheit, Skalierbarkeit, Hardwarekonnektivität, Entwicklungswerkzeuge, Softwareentwicklung und Echtzeitverhalten. Basierend auf diesen Kriterien wird ein Bewertungsschema formuliert, welches für die Betrachtung der einzelnen Varianten benutzt wird.Bei dieser Betrachtung wurden echtzeitfähige Linuxvarianten anhand des erarbeiteten Schemas auf einen Einsatz in der Automatisierungstechnik untersucht. Betrachtet wurden die folgenden Varianten: RT-Linux, RTAI-Linux, KURT, Monta-vista-Linux, TimeSys-Linux, RED-Linux und REDICE Linux. Zusätzlich wurde auch der Standard-Linux Kernel anhand der Kriterien bezüglich seiner Einsatzmöglichkeiten untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass mit den analysierten echtzeitfähigen Linuxvarianten für jeden Bereich in der Automatisierungstechnik ein geeignetes Betriebssystem existiert .Dabei bietet gerade das Modell der Freien Software in der Automatisierungstechnik viele Vorteile, die bei proprietären Betriebssystemen nicht vorhanden sind.

description: Background. Previous studies have shown that postural stability can be enhanced by directing performers’ attention to the effects of their movements (external focus), rather than to the body movements producing the effect (internal focus). Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effects of attentional focus and a Supra postural task on postural control in older adults. Methods. The study method involved the focus of attention which was manipulated by instructing subjects to hold a glass full of water while focusing on either hand or glass. The center of pressure (COP) tests were performed on the participants in the following four conditions: baseline, control, the external focus of attention (EFA), and the internal focus of attention (IFA). Balance assessment and training were conducted using the Biodex Stability System (BSS). Results. Analysis of variance with repeated measures showed that attentional focus affected both the postural and the supra-postural task (p<0.05). Also, the results of independent t-test showed that no significant difference existed between internal-external focus conditions (p<0.05). Conclusion. This study suggests that application of automatic control processes can be facilitated by simply directing performers’ attention away from their own movements.
Langmuir wave filamentation in the kinetic regime. I. Filamentation instability of Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes in multidimensional Vlasov simulations

description: A nonlinear Langmuir wave in the kinetic regime $kλ_D\gtrsim0.2$ may have a filamentation instability, where $k$ is the wavenumber and $λ_D$ is the Debye length. The nonlinear stage of that instability develops into the filamentation of Langmuir waves which in turn leads to the saturation of the stimulated Raman scattering in laser-plasma interaction experiments. Here we study the linear stage of the filamentation instability of the particular family \cite{RoseRussellPOP2001} of Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) modes \cite{BernsteinGreeneKruskal1957} that is a bifurcation of the linear Langmuir wave. Performing direct $2+2D$ Vlasov-Poisson simulations of collisionless plasma we find the growth rates of oblique modes of the electric field as a function of BGK's amplitude, wavenumber and the angle of the oblique mode's wavevector relative to the BGK's wavevector. Simulation results are compared to theoretical predictions.

Wormholes versus black holes: quasinormal ringing at early and late times

description: Recently it has been argued that the phantom thin-shell wormholes matched with the Schwarzschild space-time near the Schwarzschild radius ring like Schwarzschild black holes at early times, but differently at late times (arXiv:1602.07309). Here we consider perturbations of the wormhole which was constructed without thin-shells: the Bronnikov-Ellis wormhole supported by the phantom matter and electromagnetic field. This wormhole solution is known to be stable under specific equation of state of the phantom matter. We show that if one does not use the above thin-shell matching, the wormhole, depending on the values of its parameters, either rings as the black hole at all times or rings differently also at all times. The wormhole's spectrum, investigated here, posses a number of distinctive features. In the final part we have considered general properties of scattering around arbitrary rotating traversable wormholes. We have found that symmetric and non-symmetric (with respect to the throat) wormholes are qualitatively different in this respect: First, superradiance is allowed only if for those non-symmetric wormholes for which the asymptotic values of the rotation parameters are different on both sides from the throat. Second, the symmetric wormholes cannot mimic effectively the ringing of a black hole at a few various dominant multipoles at the same time, so that the future observations of various events should easily tell the symmetric wormhole from a black hole.

description: The competition for the attention of users is a central element of the Internet. Crucial issues are the origin and predictability of big hits, the few items that capture a big portion of the total attention. We address these issues analyzing 10 million time series of videos' views from YouTube. We find that the average gain of views is linearly proportional to the number of views a video already has, in agreement with usual rich-get-richer mechanisms and Gibrat's law, but this fails to explain the prevalence of big hits. The reason is that the fluctuations around the average views are themselves heavy tailed. Based on these empirical observations, we propose a stochastic differential equation with Lévy noise as a model of the dynamics of videos. We show how this model is substantially better in estimating the probability of an ordinary item becoming a big hit, which is considerably underestimated in the traditional proportional-growth models.

description: Bei Kreditgeschäften mit Nichtbanken (Privatkunden oder kleine und mittlere Unternehmen) ist es üblich, dem potentiellen Kunden bei Angebotsabgabe verbindliche Konditionen zu nennen. Diese stellen ein zeitlich begrenztesWahlrecht für den Kunden dar, einen Kredit mit exakt festgelegten Konditionen anzunehmen. Da sich die Bank dazu bereit erklärt hat, den Kredit unabhängig von zwischenzeitlichen Zinsentwicklungen entsprechend dem Angebot zu vergeben, ist sie Stillhalter in einer Option (Angebotsoption). Die Problematik verbindlicher Angebote kann somit im Lichte der Optionsbewertungstheorie gesehen werden.Die vorliegende Dissertation widmet sich den Bewertungsfragen von Angebotsoptionen. Die klassische Theorie der arbitragefreien Bewertung beinhaltet die Annahmen eines vollkommenen Marktes. Auf Basis dieser Annahmen werden die Angebotsoptionen zunächst in der einfachen Situationfriktionsloser Märkte betrachtet. Danach wird diese Annahme aufgegeben, und es werden die Angebotsoptionen in einem segmentierten Kapitalmarkt beleuchtet.Eine numerische Analyse der Bewertung von Angebotsoptionen auf friktionslosen sowie segmentierten Kapitalmärkten zeigt mithilfe des Zinsstrukturmodells von Ho und Lee, dass die Optionsprämien erhebliche Beträge ausmachen können.
description: The typical lending behavior of a bank towards its on-banking clients is that the client (usually individuals and small to mid-sized corporates) should receive a firm price on a loan. This price will be offered not for acceptance or refusal, as in the capital markets, but can be valid for as long as six weeks. The firm price quotation over such a long period is nothing other than a free option for the client, whereby the lender (the bank) is the writer of the option (loanly ption). The underlying risk to the bank is the price risk of the bank's refinancing. In a competitive market environment it is absolutely crucial for the bank to know exactly what proportion of the margin achievable must be allocated for market risk. This thesis will examine this question of valuation.In the classical environment of option pricing theory markets are perfect and investors are rational. Within this framework the value of a loanly option is described by the well-known martingale approach of arbitrage-free pricing of contingent claims. The trivial result in perfect markets is altered whenintroducing segmented capital markets with two different classes of market participants. The thesis closes with a numerical analysis of loanly options based on the traditional term structure model of Ho and Lee.
A possible relation between flare activity in superluminous supernovae and gamma-ray bursts

description: Significant undulations appear in the light curve of a recently discovered super-luminous supernova (SLSN) SN 2015bn after the first peak, while the underlying profile of the light curve can be well explained by a continuous energy supply from a central engine, possibly the spin-down of a millisecond magnetar. We propose that these undulations are caused by an intermittent pulsed energy supply, indicating an energetic flare activity of the central engine of the SLSN. Many post-burst flares were discovered during X-ray afterglow observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). We find that the SLSN flares described here approximately obey the empirical correlation between the luminosity and time scale of GRB flares, extrapolated to the relevant longer time scales of SLSN flares. This confirms the possible connection between these two different phenomena as previously suggested.

description: A collective chaotic phase with power law scaling of activity events is observed in a disordered mean field network of purely excitatory leaky integrate-and-fire neurons with short-term synaptic plasticity. The dynamical phase diagram exhibits two transitions from quasi-synchronous and asynchronous regimes to the nontrivial, collective, bursty regime with avalanches. In the homogeneous case without disorder, the system synchronizes and the bursty behavior is reflected into a doubling-period transition to chaos for a two dimensional discrete map. Numerical simulations show that the bursty chaotic phase with avalanches exhibits a spontaneous emergence of time correlations and enhanced Kolmogorov complexity. Our analysis reveals a mechanism for the generation of irregular avalanches that emerges from the combination of disorder and deterministic underlying chaotic dynamics.

description: Action recognition has received increasing attention from the computer vision and machine learning communities in the last decade. To enable the study of this problem, there exist a vast number of action datasets, which are recorded under controlled laboratory settings, real-world surveillance environments, or crawled from the Internet. Apart from the "in-the-wild" datasets, the training and test split of conventional datasets often possess similar environments conditions, which leads to close to perfect performance on constrained datasets. In this paper, we introduce a new dataset, namely Multi-Camera Action Dataset (MCAD), which is designed to evaluate the open view classification problem under the surveillance environment. In total, MCAD contains 14,298 action samples from 18 action categories, which are performed by 20 subjects and independently recorded with 5 cameras. Inspired by the well received evaluation approach on the LFW dataset, we designed a standard evaluation protocol and benchmarked MCAD under several scenarios. The benchmark shows that while an average of 85% accuracy is achieved under the closed-view scenario, the performance suffers from a significant drop under the cross-view scenario. In the worst case scenario, the performance of 10-fold cross validation drops from 87.0% to 47.4%.

description: Quantum transport properties are instrumental to understanding quantum coherent transport processes. Potential applications of quantum transport are widespread, in areas ranging from quantum information science to quantum engineering, and not restricted to quantum state transfer, control and manipulation. Here, we study light transport in a ring array of coupled resonators enclosed synthetic magnetic flux. The ring configuration, with an arbitrary number of resonators embedded, forms an two-arm Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. The influence of magnetic flux on light transport is investigated. Tuning the magnetic flux can lead to resonant transmission, while half-integer magnetic flux quantum leads to completely destructive interference and transmission zeros in an interferometer with two equal arms.

description: Electric energy is the main motivator of the modern renaissance and the main source of different activities as nations' development is measured by their consumption of electric energy. Libya had found its way in the field of energy generally and in the field of electric energy especially. And the past few years witnessed an increase in the use of gas turbines for electricity production to cover the demand of the electrical network of Libya. In recent years, most countries focused on decreasing the use ofIndex Terms - Gas Cycle Power Plant ((GCPP). sources with the increased feeling of the depletion of these sources besides the environmental interests. This motivated studies to try to find new ways to limit consumption by using secondary sources of energy for electricity production Recent energy studies show the effectiveness of using thermo-electric plants for electric generation and air conditioning systems. In these plants, both electric power and thermal energy are produced.

description:
At this time there is no NIOSH approved means for bag sampling 1,3-butadiene. An attempt was made to use the application of cold (0°F) to inhibit the reactivity of the gas prior to analysis. The State of California Air Resources Board has an approved method for the gas chromatographic analysis of 1,3-butadiene from stationary sources. The method was utilized in the application of industrial hygiene monitoring of affected workers. The application of cold was found to be ineffective at inhibiting the highly reactive nature of 1,3-butadiene. Analyte losses were too great to classify the method as an accurate measure of occupational exposure to 1,3- butadiene.
Implementation of a telephone outreach program to lessen feelings of loneliness due to social isolation in the Medicare population
Creators: name: Friedman, Alexandra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose: A telephone outreach program was developed and implemented in family practice. The objective was to lower perceived loneliness and social isolation through a series of social engagement telephone outreach calls. Methodology: In this quality improvement project, the three-question UCLA Loneliness Scale was used to measure perceived loneliness and the Lubben Social Network Scale was used to measure perceived social isolation. The project included a series of four phone calls, lasting twenty minutes each over seven weeks. Both scales were measured during the first and third phone calls.Results: Perceived social isolation scores got significantly better post telephone calls (Z=-2.988, p=0.03). Conversely, perceived loneliness significantly worsened post telephone calls (Z=-2.46, p=0.014). There was a strong negative correlation between gender and post social isolation scores (Ninety-two percent of participants were interested in continuing with phone calls in the future. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Collaboration with the Centers for Medicare (CMS) should occur to include screening tools for social isolation and loneliness in the Medicare population. Telephone outreach is an effective way to impact perceived social isolation in the Medicare population in primary care. Further research is needed to examine the inverse relationship perceived social isolation has on perceived loneliness because of the outreach phone calls.
title: The impact of financial liberalisation on the economic performance of selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa
Creators: name: Fowowe, Babajide
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The theory of financial liberalisation advocates the ‘freeing up’ of financial markets in order to stimulate savings, investment, and ultimately economic growth. This is to be achieved by eliminating financial repression and letting the market allocate savers funds to investors. Both the quantity and quality of investment are expected to increase and these should lead to higher rates of economic growth. Financial liberalisation was embarked upon by many counties in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from the mid-1980s into the 1990s and most of the literature about these experiences has been purely theoretical. The objective of this thesis is to examine the impact of financial liberalisation on the economic performance of 19 countries in SSA over the period 1975 - 2000. Financial liberalisation is measured by four proxies. These are 2 liberalisation proxies that take account of the gradual progression in financial liberalisation policies, a dummy variable that takes on a value of 1 in the year that major moves towards liberalisation started, and the real rate of interest. Panel data techniques are employed in estimating savings, investment, and growth equations. Our results show that financial liberalisation has not had the desired effect on the economic performance of countries in SSA. It is found that financial savings, private investment, total investment, and economic growth have had a negative relationship with financial liberalisation. The only variable which showed a positive relationship with financial liberalisation was national saving. A case study for Nigeria showed that in the long run financial liberalisation has had a positive effect on financial savings and economic growth thus lending credence to the view that financial liberalisation causes distortions and crisis in financial markets in the short run, but is beneficial to economic growth in the long run.

description: We look for long-living topological solutions of classical nonlinear $(1+1)-$ dimensional $φ^4$ field theory. To that effect we use the well-known cut-and-match method. In this framework, new long-living states are obtained in both topological sectors. In particular, in one case a highly excited state of a kink is found. We discover several ways of energy reset. In addition to the expected emission wave packets (with small amplitude), for some selected initial conditions the production of kink-antikink pairs results in a large energy reset. Also, the topological number of a kink in the central region changes in the contrast of saving full topological number. At lower excitation energies there is a long-living excited vibrational state of the kink; this phenomenon is the final stage of all considered initial states. Over time this excited state of the kink changes to a well-known linearized solution - a discrete kink excitation mode. This method yields a qualitatively new way to describe the large-amplitude bion, which was detected earlier in the kink-scattering processes in the nontopological sector.

description: In this paper we discuss the relation of particle number cumulants and correlation functions. It is argued that measuring couplings of the genuine multi-particle correlation functions could provide cleaner information on possible non-trivial dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. We extract integrated multi-proton correlation functions from the presently available experimental data on proton cumulants. We find that the STAR data contain significant four-proton correlations, at least at the lower energies, with indication of changing dynamics in central collisions. We also find that these correlations are rather long-ranged in rapidity. Finally, using the Ising model, we demonstrate how the signs of the multi-proton correlation functions may be used to exclude certain regions of the phase diagram close to the critical point.

description: We show global uniqueness in an inverse problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation: an unknown potential in a bounded domain is uniquely determined by exterior measurements of solutions. We also show global uniqueness in the partial data problem where the measurements are taken in arbitrary open, possibly disjoint, subsets of the exterior. The results apply in any dimension $\geq 2$ and are based on a strong approximation property of the fractional equation that extends earlier work. This special feature of the nonlocal equation renders the analysis of related inverse problems radically different from the traditional Calderón problem.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that produces both motor and non-motor complications, degrading the quality of life of PD patients. Over the past two decades, the use of wearable devices in combination with machine learning algorithms has provided promising methods for more objective and continuous monitoring of PD. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have provided new methods and algorithms for data analysis, such as deep learning (DL). The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of current applications where DL algorithms are employed for the assessment of motor and non-motor manifestations (NMM) using data collected via wearable sensors. This paper provides the reader with a summary of the current applications of DL and wearable devices for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of PD, in the hope of improving the adoption, applicability, and impact of both technologies as support tools. Following PRISMA (Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, sixty-nine studies were selected and analyzed. For each study, information on sample size, sensor configuration, DL approaches, validation methods and results according to the specific symptom under study were extracted and summarized. Furthermore, quality assessment was conducted according to the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) method. The majority of studies (74%) were published within the last three years, demonstrating the increasing focus on wearable technology and DL approaches for PD assessment. However, most papers focused on monitoring (59%) and computer-assisted diagnosis (37%), while few papers attempted to predict treatment response. Motor symptoms (86%) were treated much more frequently than NMM (14%). Inertial sensors were the most commonly used technology, followed by force sensors and microphones. Finally, convolutional neural networks (52%) were preferred to other DL approaches, while extracted features (38%) and raw data (37%) were similarly used as input for DL models. The results of this review highlight several challenges related to the use of wearable technology and DL methods in the assessment of PD, despite the advantages this technology could bring in the development and implementation of automated systems for PD assessment.

description: Lepton flavour universality (LFU) in B-decays is revisited by considering a class of semileptonic operators defined at a scale Lambda above the electroweak scale v. The importance of quantum effects, so far neglected in the literature, is emphasised. We construct the low-energy effective Lagrangian taking into account the running effects from Lambda down to v through the one-loop renormalization group equations (RGE) in the limit of exact electroweak symmetry and QED RGEs from v down to the 1 GeV scale. The most important quantum effects turn out to be the modification of the leptonic couplings of the vector boson Z and the generation of a purely leptonic effective Lagrangian. Large LFU breaking effects in Z and tau decays and visible lepton flavour violating (LFV) effects in the processes tau -> mu ll, tau -> mu rho, tau -> mu pi and tau -> mu eta^(') are induced.

description: Gegenstand der fotorealistischen Bildsynthese ist die Erzeugung realistisch wirkender Rasterbilder aus dreidimensionalen Szenen durch die Berechnung von Lichtverteilungen. Grundlage der Berechnung ist die Bildsynthesegleichung von Kajiya, als deren Lösung sich die gesuchte Lichtverteilung ergibt. Die Bildsynthesegleichung ist im allgemeinen nicht analytisch lösbar. Zur näherungsweisen Lösung sind im wesentlichen zwei Vorgehensweisen bekannt: Monte Carlo-Abtastverfahren und Finite-Elemente-Verfahren.In dieser Arbeit wird eine Verbesserung von Monte Carlo-Strahlverfolgung entwickelt, die bei gegebener Stichprobenanzahl Bilder signifikant besserer Qualität als bisher bekannte Verfahren liefert. Dies wird durch den Einsatz adaptiver hierarchischer Dichtefunktionen erreicht. Aus den Abtastungen der Strahlverfolgung werden als Nebenprodukt Approximationen des Integranden bestimmt, aus denen verbesserte Dichtefunktionen gewonnen werden, die zu einer Effizienzsteigerung des Monte Carlo-Integrationsverfahrens führen.Für die Berechnung von Bildern für den Fall der uniformen diffusen Reflexion (Radiosity-Berechnung) nach dem klassischen Finite-Elemente-Ansatz mit konstanten Basisfunktionen werden eine Reihe von Interpolationsverfahren für die resultierende Radiosity-Funktion zur Verbesserung der visuellen Bilddarstellung angegeben. Diese basieren insbesondere auf Verfahren für die Streudateninterpolation. Durch empirische Analyse wird eine Bewertung der untersuchten Verfahren durchgeführt.Für die Implementierung und Analyse der Verfahren wurde eine Software-Architektur entwickelt. Designziele waren die Entwicklung einer flexibel änderbaren und erweiterbaren Testumgebung sowie die Ermöglichung der vergleichbaren empirischen Effizienzanalyse verschiedener Lösungsverfahren, indem soweit wie möglich dieselbe Implementierungsbasis genutzt wird und nur in wirklich unterschiedlichen Teilen unterschiedliche Algorithmen und deren Implementierung zum Einsatz kommen.
Measurements of differential cross sections for associated production of a W boson and jets in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: Differential cross sections for a W boson produced in association with jets are measured in a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inverse femtobarns. The W bosons are identified through their decay mode W to mu nu. The cross sections are reported as functions of jet multiplicity, transverse momenta, and the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT) for different jet multiplicities. Distributions of the angular correlations between the jets and the muon are examined, as well as the average number of jets as a function of HT and as a function of angular variables. The measured differential cross sections are compared with tree-level and higher-order recent event generators, as well as next-to-leading-order and next-to-next-to-leading-order theoretical predictions. The agreement of the generators with the measurements builds confidence in their use for the simulation of W+jets background processes in searches for new physics at the LHC.

description: We demonstrate an optical single qubit based on 6S1/2 to 5D5/2 quadrupole transition of a single Ba+ ion operated by diode based lasers only. The resonance wavelength of the 6S1/2 to 5D5/2 quadrupole transition is about 1762 nm which suitably falls close to the U-band of the telecommunication wavelength. Thus this qubit is a naturally attractive choice towards implementation of quantum repeater or quantum networks using existing telecommunication networks. We observe continuous bit-flip oscillations at a rate of about 250 kHz which is fast enough for the qubit operation as compared to the measured coherence time of over 3 ms. We also present a technique to quantify the bit-flip error in each qubit NOT gate operation.

description: In reptiles, reproductive maturity is often determined by size rather than age. Consequently, growth early in life may influence population dynamics through effects on generation time and survival to reproduction. Because reproductive phenology and pre- and post-natal growth are temperature-dependent, environmental conditions may induce multi-species cohort effects on body size in sympatric reptiles. I present evidence of this using ten years of neonatal size data for three sympatric viviparous snakes, Dekay's Brownsnakes (Storeria dekayi), Red-bellied Snakes (S. occipitomaculata) and Common Gartersnakes (Thamnophis sirtalis). End-of-season neonatal size varied in parallel across species such that snout-vent length was 36-61% greater and mass was 65-223% greater in years when gestating females could achieve higher April-May (vs. June-July or August-September) operative temperatures. Thus, temperature had a larger impact during follicular enlargement and ovulation than during gestation or post-natal growth. Multi-species cohort effects like these may affect population dynamics and increase with climate change.
