title: Abschied von der Familie in der deutschschweizerischen Gegenwartsliteratur?
Creators: name: Müller, Ralph
Publisher: name: Trier University
Year: 2022

description: According to a frequently encountered view, the family novel is not at all compatible with the modern phenomena of life. On closer inspection, however, it can be seen that such reproaches presuppose a trivialised genre that may be innovatively destroyed or renewed. In response to such reproaches, this article proposes a more general notion of family novel, denoting those narratives whose content and structure are essentially shaped by the relationship between characters in terms of intergenerational biological, cultural or material continuities or discontinuities. In addition, this article argues that the issues of intergenerational relationships still play a role. For instance, actual kinship without stable, affective relationships is an ongoing theme. However, there are Swiss German family novels in which the failure of establishing a strong emotional intergenerational relationship are narrated with a new relaxedness. Failing families or the renunciation of family attachment are no longer existential problems.

description: In the unified scheme of active galactic nuclei, a dusty torus absorbs and then reprocesses a fraction of the intrinsic luminosity which is emitted at longer wavelengths. Thus, subject to radiative transfer corrections, the fraction of the sky covered by the torus as seen from the central source (known as the covering factor $f_c$) can be estimated from the ratio of the infrared to the bolometric luminosities of the source as $f_c=L_{\rm torus}/L_{\rm Bol}$. However, the uncertainty in determining $L_{\rm Bol}$ has made the estimation of covering factors by this technique difficult, especially for AGN in the local Universe where the peak of the observed SEDs lies in the UV (ultraviolet). Here, we determine the covering factors of an X-ray/optically selected sample of 51 type~1 AGN. The bolometric luminosities of these sources are derived using a self-consistent, energy-conserving model that estimates the contribution in the unobservable far-UV region, using multi-frequency data obtained from SDSS, \textit{XMM-Newton}, \textit{WISE}, 2MASS and UKIDSS. We derive a mean value of $f_c\sim$0.30 with a dispersion of 0.17. Sample correlations, combined with simulations, show that $f_c$ is more strongly anti-correlated with $λ_{\rm Edd}$ than with $L_{\rm Bol}$. This points to large-scale torus geometry changes associated with the Eddington-dependent accretion flow, rather than a receding torus, with its inner sublimation radius determined solely by heating from the central source. Furthermore, we do not see any significant change in the distribution of $f_c$ for sub-samples of radio-loud sources or Narrow Line Seyfert~1 galaxies (NLS1s), though these sub-samples are small.

Formalization Techniques for Asymptotic Reasoning in Classical Analysis

description: Formalizing analysis on a computer involves a lot of “epsilon-delta” reasoning, while informal reasoning may use some asymptotical hand-waving. Whether or not the arithmetic details are hidden using some abstraction like filters, a human user eventually has to break it down for the proof assistant anyway, and provide a witness for the existential variable “delta”. We describe formalization techniques that take advantage of existential variables to delay the input of witnesses until a stage where the proof assistant can actually infer them. We use these techniques to prove theorems about classical analysis and to provide equational Bachmann-Landau notations. This partially restores the simplicity of informal hand-waving without compromising the proof. As expected this also reduces the size of proof scripts and the time to write them, and it also makes proofs more stable.

A finitely generated group $G$ is periodic of bounded exponent if there exists $k \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every element of $G$ has order at most $k$.

description: This article deals with decision-making processes about new development aims in Free/Open Source software (FOSS) projects. It focuses on the question how community driven projects manage to not only make decisions but also implement them successfully. Following the approach of Nils Brunsson, the requirements of (rational) decision-making and action are somewhat antagonistic: On the one hand, rationality of decision-making implies extensive evaluation of alternatives and arguments that can lead to an uncertainty as to which of the alternative will be chosen. On the other hand, a good basis for collective action is established when uncertainty is reduced and consistent expectations exist as to what kind of action will be performed. Corroborating on an empirical analysis of a decision-making process and interviews conducted with FOSS developers, three mechanisms of ending a discussion are identified. The paper concludes evaluating to what extent each of these mechanisms serves the requirements for decision-making and action.

description: The spoke cavities mounted in the China Accelerator Driven sub-critical System (C-ADS) have high quality factor(Q) and very small bandwidth, making them very sensitive to mechanical perturbations whether external or self-induced. The transfer function is used to characterize the response of the cavity eigen frequency to the perturbations. This paper describes a method to measure the transfer function of a spoke cavity. The measured Lorentz transfer function shows there are 206 Hz and 311 Hz mechanical eigenmodes excited by Lorentz force in the cavity of C-ADS, and the measured piezo fast tuner transfer function shows there are 12 mechanical eigenmodes from 0 to 500 Hz. According to these results, some effective measures have been taken to weaken the influence from helium pressure fluctuation, avoid mechanical resonances and improve the reliability of RF system.

description: In this paper, a detailed analysis for superradiant stability of the system composed by a $D$-dimensional Reissner-Nordström-anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS) black hole and a reflecting mirror under charged scalar perturbations are presented in the linear regime. It is found that the stability of the system is heavily affected by the mirror radius as well as the mass of the scalar perturbation, AdS radius and the dimension of space-time. In a higher dimensional space-time, the degree of instability of the superradiant modes will be severely weakened. Nevertheless, the degree of instability can be magnified significantly by choosing a suitable value of the mirror radius. Remarkably, when the mirror radius is smaller than a threshold value the system becomes stable. We also find that massive charged scalar fields cannot trigger the instabilities in the background of $D$-dimensional asymptotically flat RN black hole. For a given scalar charge, a small RN-AdS black hole can be superradiantly unstable, while a large one may be always stable under charged scalar field with or without a reflecting mirror. We also show that these results can be easily expounded and understood with the help of factorized potential analysis.

description: Weyl semimetal is a recently discovered state of quantum matter, which generally possesses tilted energy dispersion. Here, we investigate the electron tunneling through a Weyl semimetal p-n-p junction. The angular dependence of electron tunneling exhibits an anomalous profile such that perfect transmission angles are shifted along the direction of the tilt. Coupling of the tilted dispersion and electrical potential within the barrier region gives rise to a transverse momentum shift, which is analogous to the transverse Lorentz displacement induced by magnetic barriers.

description: In recent decades, the enhancement of the properties of electrolytes and electrodes resulted in the development of efficient electrochemical energy storage devices. We herein reported the impact of the different polymer electrolytes in terms of physicochemical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Since LIBs use many groups of electrolytes, such as liquid electrolytes, quasi-solid electrolytes, and solid electrolytes, the efficiency of the full device relies on the type of electrolyte used. A good electrolyte is the one that, when used in Li-ion batteries, exhibits high Li+ diffusion between electrodes, the lowest resistance during cycling at the interfaces, a high capacity of retention, a very good cycle-life, high thermal stability, high specific capacitance, and high energy density. The impact of various polymer electrolytes and their components has been reported in this work, which helps to understand their effect on battery performance. Although, single-electrolyte material cannot be sufficient to fulfill the requirements of a good LIB. This review is aimed to lead toward an appropriate choice of polymer electrolyte for LIBs.

description: We study the expansion of an interacting atomic system at zero temperature, following its release from an isotropic three-dimensional harmonic trap and calculate the time dependence of its density and momentum distribution, with special focus on the behavior of the contact parameter. We consider different quantum systems, including the unitary Fermi gas of infinite scattering length, the weakly interacting Bose gas, and two interacting particles with highly asymmetric mass imbalance. In all cases analytic results can be obtained, which show that the initial value of the contact, fixing the $1/k^4$ tail of the momentum distribution, disappears for large expansion times. Our results raise the problem of understanding the recent experiment of Chang \textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{117}, 235303 (2016)] carried out on a weakly interacting Bose gas of metastable $^4$He atoms, where a $1/r^4$ tail in the density distribution was observed after a large expansion time, implying the existence of the $1/k^4$ tail in the asymptotic momentum distribution.

description: Statistical analyses are an essential part of regulatory toxicological evaluations. While projects would be ideally monitored by both toxicologists and statisticians, this is often not possible in practice. Hence, toxicologists should be trained in some common statistical approaches but also need a tool for statistical evaluations. Due to transparency needed in regulatory processes and standard tests that can be evaluated with template approaches, the freely available open-source statistical software R may be suitable. R is a well-established software in the statistical community. The principal input method is via software code, which is both benefit and weakness of the tool. It is increasingly used by regulating authorities globally and can be easily extended by software packages, e.g., for new statistical functions and features. This manuscript outlines how R can be used in regulatory toxicology, allowing toxicologists to perform all regulatory required data evaluations in a single software solution. Practical applications are shown in case studies on simulated and experimental data. The examples cover a) Dunnett testing of treatment groups against a common control and in relation to a biological relevance threshold, assessing the test’s assumptions and plotting the results; b) dose-response analysis and benchmark dose derivation for chronic kidney inflammation as a function of Pyridine; and c) graphical/exploratory data analysis of previously published developmental neurotoxicity data for Chlorpyrifos.

Geometric entanglement in the Laughlin wave function

description: We study numerically the geometric entanglement in the Laughlin wave function, which is of great importance in condensed matter physics. The Slater determinant having the largest overlap with the Laughlin wave function is constructed by an iterative algorithm. The logarithm of the overlap, which is a geometric quantity, is then taken as a geometric measure of entanglement. It is found that the geometric entanglement is a linear function of the number of electrons to a good extent. This is especially the case for the lowest Laughlin wave function, namely the one with filling factor of $1/3$. Surprisingly, the linear behavior extends well down to the smallest possible value of the electron number, namely, $ N= 2$. The constant term does not agree with the expected topological entropy.

Conversion of HOL Light proofs into Metamath

description: We present an algorithm for converting proofs from the OpenTheory interchange format, which can be translated to and from any of the HOL family of proof languages (HOL4, HOL Light, ProofPower, and Isabelle), into the ZFC-based Metamath language. This task is divided into two steps: the translation of an OpenTheory proof into a Metamath HOL formalization, hol.mm, followed by the embedding of the HOL formalization into the main ZFC foundations of the main Metamath library, set.mm. This process provides a means to link the simplicity of the Metamath foundations to the intense automation efforts which have borne fruit in HOL Light, allowing the production of complete Metamath proofs of theorems in HOL Light, while also proving that HOL Light is consistent, relative to Metamath's ZFC axiomatization.

Performing ... art: tracing fleshed performance, the live body in motion

description: Submission note: An exegesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts to the Department of Theatre and Drama, School of Arts, Communication and Critical Enquiry, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

‘Performing ... Art: Tracing Fleshed Performance, the Live Body in Motion’ is practice-led research. This Masters thesis encompasses a performance and cross-disciplinary arts practice as well as analysis of works by other artists. The conceptual framing explores how the performer is also a spectator of works by other artists including live performance and its documented versions. The design of ‘Performing ... Art’ (the title of the live performance at Off the Kerb Gallery) accommodates a live performance for two audiences, the gallery exhibition of works on paper created during this event and the filmed event as a gallery installation. The live performance occurred on 2 March 2012 at Off the Kerb Gallery, Melbourne, and the works on paper and filmed installation were exhibited, 2–23 March 2012. This thesis explores the phenomenological positioning of an artist-spectator in the making of live performance and works on paper. The scope of the research considers the physical and subjective experience of a performer in the process of making a new work. The thesis draws on Maurice Merleau-Ponty influenced theory concerning phenomenology and the body (Baldwin 2004, Steeves 2004, Tait 2000). Live physical performances, as stand-alone events in gallery spaces, also developed in the visual arts, can be contrasted with theatrical performance. Some gallery performances leave a residue of the event in separate artworks, which offset the ephemeral nature of live performance. Concentrating the discussion on the arts practice of Frenchman Yves Klein and Australian Jill Orr, this research explores the ways in which they created works on paper from live events. These inspire and inform this thesis project. The theoretical exploration focuses on experiences of postperformance exhibited works by other artists as precedents for the creation of art with the body in motion. The challenge of ‘Performing ... Art: Tracing Fleshed Performance, the Live Body in Motion’ was to incorporate the perspective of both performer and spectator.

Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurden Leitfadeninterviews mit drei Lehrerinnen geführt. Sie alle haben ein Kind ihrer Klasse nach dem Verlust eines Elternteils begleitet. Mit Hilfe der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse wurden die Interviews anschliessend ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Lehrerinnen die Informationsbeschaffung aus dem Internet, Fachbüchern und -zeitschriften, sowie Beratungs- und Austauschformen als hilfreiche Faktoren zur Begleitung betroffener Kinder betrachten. Zudem erachten sie pädagogisch-methodische Interventionen, die Beziehung zum Kind, sowie zum lebenden Elternteil und die eigene Einstellung und Offenheit gegenüber Themen zu Sterben und Tod als hilfreich, um die Kinder zu begleiten.

description: Data mining is a type of knowledge discovery that is used to solve problems in a particular domain. Classification is a strategy for identifying unknown data classes. Bayesian, decision trees, rule-based, neural networks, and other categorization methods exist. Irrelevant properties must be filtered before any mining technique can be used. Various feature selection strategies, such as wrapper, filter, and embedding methodology, are used to filter data. This paper serves as an introduction to the various categorization and feature selection approaches.

description: In this paper, we investigate multi-soft behaviors of tree amplitudes in nonlinear sigma model (NLSM). The leading behaviors of amplitudes with odd number of all-adjacent soft pions are zero. We further propose and prove that leading soft factors of amplitudes with even number all-adjacent soft pions can be expressed in terms of products of the leading order Berends-Giele sub-currents in Cayley parametrization. Each sub-current in the expression contains at most one hard pion. Discussions are generalized to amplitudes containing arbitrary number of nonadjacent soft blocks: The leading behaviors of amplitudes where at least one soft block has odd number of adjacent soft pions are zero; The leading soft factors for amplitudes where all soft blocks containing even number of soft pions are given by products of soft factors for these blocks.

description: It was proved by Chern, Hirzebruch and Serre that the signature of a fibre bundle is multiplicative if the fundamental group of the base acts trivially on the cohomology ring of the fibre with real coefficients, in which case the signature of the total space equals the product of the signatures of base and fibre. Hambleton, Korzeniewski and Ranicki proved that in any case the signature is multiplicative modulo 4. In this paper we present two results concerning the multiplicativity modulo 8: firstly we identify the obstruction to multiplicativity modulo 8 with the Arf-Kervaire invariant of a Pontryagin squaring operation. Furthermore, we prove that if the fibre is even-dimensional and the action of the fundamental group of the base is trivial on the middle cohomology of the fibre with $\mathbb{Z}_4$ coefficients, then this Arf-Kervaire invariant takes value 0 and hence the signature is multiplicative modulo 8.

description: Many problems in nonlinear analysis and optimization, among them variational inequalities and minimization of convex functions, can be reduced to finding zeros (namely, roots) of set-valued operators. Hence numerous algorithms have been devised in order to achieve this task. A lot of these algorithms are inexact in the sense that they allow perturbations to appear during the iterative process, and hence they enable one to better deal with noise and computational errors, as well as superiorization. For many years a certain fundamental question has remained open regarding many of these known inexact algorithmic schemes in various finite and infinite dimensional settings, namely whether there exist sequences satisfying these inexact schemes when errors appear. We provide a positive answer to this question. Our results also show that various theorems discussing the convergence of these inexact schemes have a genuine merit beyond the exact case. As a by-product we solve the standard and the strongly implicit inexact resolvent inclusion problems, introduce a promising class of functions (fully Legendre functions), establish continuous dependence (stability) properties of the solution of the inexact resolvent inclusion problem and continuity properties of the protoresolvent, and generalize the notion of strong monotonicity.

description: We present a new construction of the p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL(2, Q_p) via the patching method of Taylor--Wiles and Kisin. This construction sheds light on the relationship between the various other approaches to both the local and global aspects of the p-adic Langlands program; in particular, it gives a new proof of many cases of the second author's local-global compatibility theorem, and relaxes a hypothesis on the local mod p representation in that theorem.

description: Social Work Practice in the child protection context is a fraught endeavour as children, family members and practitioners inevitably become caught in a complex rotation of trying and failing. Social Work Theory is a contested site, rife with ambiguity in its pursuit for knowledge about how to achieve individual and social change. Child protection work is presented as impossible, with practitioners unable to resolve inherent contradictions in their role. This Practice as Research (PaR) doctorate undertakes practical experiments in clowning: training, devising, performing, and drawing in order to discover the correlations between clown and social work. These correlations are then explored further to inform an alternative way of working in the child protection field. Based on the historical clown-archetypes of the Whiteface and Auguste clown, Lecoq’s pedagogy of the New Clown and more recent conceptualisations for clown logic from the field, this research presents a distinct clown theory. Clown theory discovers the world with naivety and stupidity; and boldly attempts impossible tasks, while accepting inevitable failure that leads to play and pleasure in the here and now. These concepts appear to enact a relational presence that is empowering and can lead to a new awareness of self and the social world. This project is transdisciplinary as it crosses boundaries, swerves right and left, gets lost, folds back over and discovers a new approach to engaging with children and families in the child protection field, termed Clown Based Social Work. Clown Based Social Work is presented as unfinished and not-yet-known, however, is posited as a form of Dissenting Social Work Practice in the Child Protection Field.

description: We first define a new Gray map from $R=\mathbb{Z}_4+u\mathbb{Z}_4$ to $\mathbb{Z}^{2}_{4}$, where $u^2=1$ and study $(1+2u)$-constacyclic codes over $R$. Also of interest are some properties of $(1+2u)$-constacyclic codes over $R$. Considering their $\mathbb{Z}_4$ images, we prove that the Gray images of $(1+2u)$-constacyclic codes of length $n$ over $R$ are cyclic codes of length $2n$ over $\mathbb{Z}_4$. In many cases the latter codes have better parameters than those in the online database of Aydin and Asamov. We also give a corrected version of a table of new cyclic $R$-codes published by Özen et al. in Finite Fields and Their Applications, {\bf 38}, (2016) 27-39.

description: Die Anforderungen, die der Lehrberuf heute an die Lehrpersonen stellt, sind hoch“ (Kunz Heim & Krause, 2009 / 2010, S. 10). Diese Aussage bestätigt sich auch in neusten Medienberichten und Zeitungsartikeln. Unwirsche Reaktionen, aggressive Töne, Resignationsgedanken, Tagträume, Kopfweh, Ablenkungen, ein Glas über den Durst - Zeichen von Unzufriedenheit, die durch Belastungen entstehen und die wir alle in der einen oder anderen Art kennen. Ist der Mensch seines eigenen Glückes Schmied und stimmt es, dass wie man sich bettet, so man liegt? Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht mittels einer Online-Befragung, die wir mit den Schulischen Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen im Kanton Zürich durchgeführt haben, Zusammenhänge zwischen Arbeitszufriedenheit und Belastungen. Es lässt sich erkennen, dass Belastungsempfinden davon abhängt, über welche Bewältigungsstrategien und Selbstwirksamkeitskonzepte ein Mensch verfügt und wie er sie einsetzt. So spielen Persönlichkeitsfaktoren eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Empfindung von Belastungen und dem Umgang damit.

description: This paper studies the Kalman decomposition for linear quantum systems. Contrary to the classical case, the coordinate transformation used for the decomposition must belong to a specific class of transformations as a consequence of the laws of quantum mechanics. We propose a construction method for such transformations that put the system in a Kalman canonical form. Furthermore, we uncover an interesting structure for the obtained decomposition. In the case of passive systems, it is shown that there exist only controllable/observable and uncontrollable/unobservable subsystems. In the general case, controllable/unobservable and uncontrollable/observable subsystems may also be present, but their respective system variables must be conjugate variables of each other. This decomposition naturally exposes decoherence-free modes, quantum-nondemolition modes, quantum-mechanics-free subsystems, and back-action evasion measurements in the quantum system, which are useful resources for quantum information processing, and quantum measurements. The theory developed is applied to physical examples.

description: We construct a quantum-inspired classical algorithm for computing the permanent of Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices, by exploiting a connection between these mathematical structures and the boson sampling model. Specifically, the permanent of a Hermitian positive semidefinite matrix can be expressed in terms of the expected value of a random variable, which stands for a specific photon-counting probability when measuring a linear-optically evolved random multimode coherent state. Our algorithm then approximates the matrix permanent from the corresponding sample mean and is shown to run in polynomial time for various sets of Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices, achieving a precision that improves over known techniques. This work illustrates how quantum optics may benefit algorithms development.

ANTIMONY SPECIATION BY CHROMATOGRAPHIC SAMPLE INTRODUCTION TO PLASMA SPECTROSCOPY
Creators: name: GUY, ALEN BRUCE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: Antimony (Sb), an element in Group V of the Periodic Table, has an ancient and varied chemistry with many applications in industry and medicine. However, although sensitive analytical methods exist for the determination of Sb very tittle is known about the speciation of the element. It is widely known that the toxicity of Sb is not only dependent upon its oxidation state but also its molecular form. Thus this study has utilised chromatographic sample introduction directly coupled to plasma spectroscopic instruments to facilitate separations of Sb based upon molecular form coupled with sensitive detection methods. Fundamental studies, using NMR to investigate physical changes in ligands and ESI-MS to investigate molecular ions, have shown that complexes of Sb(V) can form with compounds that might exist in biological/environmental systems, such as a-hydroxyacids. These complexes have been separated using ion-exchange and reversed-phase chromatography for the first time. A fundamental investigation of the nebuliser/spray chamber assembly was carried out in terms of the effect on the quality of the chromatographic separations. It was found that the resolution was strongly dependent upon choice of nebuliser and spraychamber. Five nebulisers and two spray-chambers were studied with the Burgener nebuliser/cyclonic spray-chamber pairing being the most useful analytically. The methods developed from these fundamental studies were applied to environmental water, plant and sediment sample extracts as well as industrial polymer leachates. These studies have shown that Sb(V) was the favoured form in terrestrial water samples, agreeing with thermodynamic assumptions. However, more unidentified Sb species were detected in sediment and plant (liverwort, moss) extracts. Hydride generation (HG) apparatus placed in-line between the HPLC and the plasma instrument facilitated analysis of reducible species and it was found that for many samples not all the Sb was in a reducible form. This was confirmed by comparison with chromatograms for analysis without HG. Sample spiking experiments showed that dissolved complexing agents from the samples would produce striking differences in chromatograms, i.e. in one case all peaks would respond to the spike whereas in another sample only one peak would respond. This was a novel discovery in this field of speciation and has highlighted possible new chemistries for trace levels of environmental Sb. This indicated the need for further studies of the complex nature of Sb in trace and ultra-trace levels in the environment leading to the production of specific reference materials. Investigation of industrial samples showed that significant work is still required especially in the area of the chromatographic elution of Sb(IlI) species from columns packed with a high percentage of aromatic organic material.
