description: The modeling of physical processes is an integral part of scientific and technical research. In this area, the Extendible C++ Application in Quantum Technologies (ECAQT) package provides the numerical simulations and modeling of complex quantum systems in the presence of decoherence with wide applications in photonics. It allows creating models of interacting complex systems and simulates their time evolution with a number of available time-evolution drivers. Physical simulations involving massive amounts of calculations are often executed on distributed computing infrastructures. It is often difficult for non expert users to use such computational infrastructures or even to use advanced libraries over the infrastructures, because they often require being familiar with middleware and tools, parallel programming techniques and packages. The P-RADE Grid Portal is a Grid portal solution that allows users to manage the whole life-cycle for executing a parallel application on the computing Grid infrastructures. The article describes the functionality and the structure of the web portal based on ECAQT package.

description: Nell’ambito della recente riforma l’AUSL è chiamata a perseguire simultaneamente tre obiettivi : il razionamento della domanda, il miglioramento dell’efficienza produttiva e la garanzia dei livelli di qualità delle prestazioni. Il contenimento eccessivo delle prestazioni terapeutiche erogate può indurre i pazienti assistiti all’exit dall’offerta ospedaliera garantita dalla AUSL di assistenza. Esiste quindi un trade-off fra razionamento e trattenimento della domanda. In questo lavoro si propone una valutazione delle strutture organizzative e di governo della AUSL più adatte ad affrontarlo. Vengono esaminate due tipologie di strutture: le AUSL che operano una completa integrazione fra finanziamento e produzione su una gamma molto ampia di prestazioni, le AUSL verticalmente integrate; e le AUSL che delegano ad un produttore dotato di autonomia gestionale e finanziaria, l’AOSP, parte dei compiti di produzione soprattutto sulle prestazioni di maggiore complessità. L’evidenza raccolta fa ritenere che le prime offrano minori garanzie al perseguimento di obiettivi di qualità della prestazione. Al contrario le seconde, forse a causa della pluralità di soggetti coinvolti nell’accordo di fornitura, realizzano un sistema di incentivi che permette il perseguimento di politiche assistenziali più equilibrate, anche nella dimensione della qualità della prestazione. Questo successo si riflette in modo positivo anche sulle capacità di contenimento delle prestazioni finanziate. Pur non tenendo in esplicita considerazione le diverse dotazioni finanziare delle due tipologie di AUSL, tuttavia la nostra analisi offre evidenze circa il fatto che questi risultati vengono conseguiti al costo di una minore efficienza nell’uso della capacità produttiva a disposizione.

description: In dieser Arbeit wurde untersucht, ob die konventionelle Messung des Foramen magnum im cMRT bei Patienten mit Achondroplasie eine Dimension aufzeigt, mit der Entscheidungen im Hinblick auf die Indikation zur operativen Erweiterung am Craniocervikalen Übergang getroffen werden können. Weiterhin konnte eine Kopfumfangsperzentilenkurve für Patienten mit Achondroplasie erstellt werden. Zum Einsatz kamen MRT-Bilder von Patienten mit Achondroplasie in denen verschiedene Parameter (Ventrikel-Hirn-Index, Foramen magnum Durchmesser, myelopathische Veränderungen im Cervicalmark) bestimmt wurden. Gemeinsam mit weiteren erhobenen Daten, wie Operationszeitpunkte, Kopfumfangsmessungen, neurologische Symptome wurde untersucht inwieweit Zusammenhänge zwischen den einzelnen Parametern entstehen. Im Wesentlichen konnte dargestellt werden, dass die Dimensionen des Foramen magnum bei Patienten mit Achondroplasie interindividuell sehr großen Schwankungen unterliegen. Weiterhin zeigt sich dass der einzelne Wert der Foramen magnum Dimension nicht als alleiniges Kriterium zur Stellung einer Operationsindikation herangezogen werden kann, sondern hierfür weitere Informationen vonnöten sind. Scores zu entwickeln, die das Risiko einer neurologischen Schädigung durch das enge Foramen magnum einschätzen, wie Cheung et al. 2021 publizierten, scheint ein zukunftsweisender Ansatz zu sein. Des Weiteren ist nach wie vor unumstritten, dass eine Betreuung solcher Patienten in die Hände der erfahrensten Untersucher, Operateure und Therapeuten gehört und somit die Zuweisung in darauf spezialisierte Zentren unumgänglich ist.
Imperfect competition in certification markets

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: This paper offers a theoretical analysis of imperfect competition in certifi cation markets. Firms that intend to engage in a regulated activity must produce thirdparty certification of compliance with prescribed regulations and standards. The certification service is provided by independent certifiers competing à la Cournot. We show that the interaction between certifiers and firms results in a market equilibrium that can be illuminated by the techniques of standard oligopoly theory. When certifiers’ liability is not too low, the certifi cation fee is determined by the degree of concentration of the certification market. Due to the peculiarity of this market, a lower concentration is not always socially desirable.
Semileptonic and leptonic D decays at Belle II
Creators: name: Schwartz, Alan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: We present Belle II prospects for measuring leptonic and semileptonic decays of D mesons. The branching fraction of leptonic decays provides a measurement of the decay constant times the magnitude of CKM matrix elements Vcd or Vcs. The differential decay rate of semileptonic decays provides a measurement of the form factor f+ times the magnitude of Vcd or Vcs. Inputting values of the decay constant or form factor as calculated from lattice QCD allows one to determine |Vcd| or |Vcs| and thus test the unitarity of the CKM matrix. Belle II should collect about 50 times as much data as Belle collected and determine |Vcd| and |Vcs| with about 7 times better precision.

description: We describe the behaviour of a monopolist supplying a vertically differentiated good with network externalities. Assuming a fixed cost of quality improvements, we show that the presence of network externalities enhances the incentive to expand output associated with scale economies. Although the quality distortion operated by the monopolist increases with network externalities, the output expansion effect is dominant, so that the welfare loss due to monopoly power shrinks as the role of network externalities in determining consumers’ satisfaction becomes more relevant.

description: In the human capital literature, it is usually assumed that human capital is paid according to its marginal productivity. Nevertheless, in the real world labor compensation is linked to a fixed hierarchy due to the division and organization of labor. Access to privileged positions in the hierarchy depends on schooling credentials, which in turn are a function of individual learning abilities and of individual spending in education. People compete in education in order to achieve the best job positions: positional competition is like a rent-seeking activity, based on the different levels of credentials. In this paper, a simple OLG economy with two agents and two kinds of jobs is modeled, and the strategic solutions are analyzed. The model shows different outcomes depending on the hypotheses regarding the type of strategic interaction (sequential or simultaneous) and the characteristics of the capital market. In the sequential equilibrium, the presence of credit market imperfections and risk-aversion makes the asympthotic wealth distribution dependent on initial conditions (non ergodicity). In the simultaneous equilibrium, a non monotonic relationship between income inequality and long run growth is shown; in the long run, job allocation is mainly determined by the innate learning abilities and it is unrelated to the initial wealth distribution (ergodicity).

description: We discuss direct and inverse spectral theory for the isospectral problem of the dispersionless Camassa--Holm equation, where the weight is allowed to be a finite signed measure. In particular, we prove that this weight is uniquely determined by the spectral data and solve the inverse spectral problem for the class of measures which are sign definite. The results are applied to deduce several facts for the dispersionless Camassa--Holm equation. In particular, we show that initial conditions with integrable momentum asymptotically split into a sum of peakons as conjectured by McKean.

description: An analysis of the pion mass and pion decay constant is performed using mixed-action Lattice QCD calculations with domain-wall valence quarks on ensembles of rooted, staggered n_f = 2+1 MILC configurations. Calculations were performed at two lattice spacings of b~0.125 fm and b~0.09 fm, at two strange quark masses, multiple light quark masses, and a number of lattice volumes. The ratios of light quark to strange quark masses are in the range 0.1 <= m_l / m_s <= 0.6, while pion masses are in the range 235 < m_π< 680 MeV. A two-flavor chiral perturbation theory analysis of the Lattice QCD calculations constrains the Gasser-Leutwyler coefficients bar{l}_3 and bar{l}_4 to be bar{l}_3 = 4.04(40)(+73-55) and bar{l}_4 = 4.30(51)(+84-60). All systematic effects in the calculations are explored, including those from the finite lattice space-time volume, the finite lattice spacing, and the finite fifth dimension in the domain-wall quark action. A consistency is demonstrated between a chiral perturbation theory analysis at fixed lattice spacing combined with a leading order continuum extrapolation, and the mixed-action chiral perturbation theory analysis which explicitly includes the leading order discretization effects. Chiral corrections to the pion decay constant are found to give f_π/ f = 1.062(26)(+42-40) where f is the decay constant in the chiral limit. The most recent scale setting by the MILC Collaboration yields a postdiction of f_π= 128.2(3.6)(+4.4-6.0)(+1.2-3.3) MeV at the physical pion mass.

Techno-globalism and techno-nationalism: an interpretative framework

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: This paper deals with the globalisation process and with the tensions between national, supernational and subnational forces it entails. A taxonomy is put forward in order to examine the question at different levels, distinguishing aspects of ‘techno-territoriality’, ‘techno-sovereignty’, ‘technocitizenship’ and ‘techno-nationality’, pertaining to, respectively, geographical borders, governance structures and policy making, strategic behaviors and accountability, sociocultural distances and spaces. The analysis of some of the massive contributions on the issue shows that the first three items have actually reached a global specification, but without completely losing national or even more local characters. A different evaluation instead holds for techno-nationality, as a certain communality of language and culture within a country, along with its historically formed institutional setting, conduce to different technological styles and performances: ‘techno-national systems of innovation’ therefore still matter.

Network Analysis of Eight Technological Systems

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: The systemic nature of technological change is now a well established result of much literature, of both theoretical (e.g. Carlsson & Stankiewicz, 1991; Lundvall, 1992; De Liso & Metcalfe, 1996; Edquist, 1997) and empirical (e.g. Nelson, 1993; Patel & Pavitt, 1994; Saxenian, 1994; Carlsson, 1995) nature. As the innovative process does not follow a ‘linear’, isolated path, but occurs within specific institutional contexts of interactive relationships between different organisations, concepts such as those of innovative and technological systems appear to be the most appropriate units of analysis. However, several specifications have been provided, by referring to both functional and geographical boundaries, which are differently characterised and thus determine differences in the level of analysis and in methodologies. As far as this paper is concerned, we will adopt a broad and structured notion of technological system that we deem particularly suitable to retain relationships that are not only innovative as such, but also techno-economic - i.e. related not only to the functioning of the innovative and of the production sub-systems, but also of the market (both domestic and foreign) and the institutional infrastructure. footnote Furthermore, our definition refers to national technological systems, because we claim that, even in a world of increasing globalisation and localisms, national boundaries still matter: for example, interesting idiosyncrasies and clusters emerge by looking at the ‘configurations’ that technological systems assume in different countries (Leoncini & Montresor, 1998). This paper aims at measuring and comparing some of the key relationships within a technological system by considering its intersectoral techno-economic linkages. footnote We thus intend to highlight the role of innovative flows of different magnitude within it, the location of its ‘cores’ and ‘terminals’, the inward or outward configuration of its partitions, from both a ‘cross-sectional’ and a ‘time series’ comparative perspective. The application refers to eight OECD countries along three temporal spans (see Appendix A1 for full details). It consists of a network analysis of the intersectoral innovation flows matrices we have obtained by disaggregating each technological system into 15 manufacturing sectors (Appendix A2). The paper is organised as follows. In Section 2 the methodological issues about innovation flows matrices and network analysis are briefly reviewed. Section 3 describes the empirical results. Section 4 contains the main conclusions.

description: Hodgkin-Lymphome (HL) gehören zu den häufigsten malignen Lymphomen und sind insgesamt mit einer sehr guten Prognose assoziiert. Dennoch rezidivieren etwa 20% der HL nach der kurativ intendierten Chemotherapie. Für diese Patienten stellt die Hochdosistherapie und anschließende autologe Stammzelltransplantation (ASCT) eine wichtige Therapieoption dar. Das Mantelzelllymphom (MCL) gehört zwar zu den indolenten Lymphomen, ist aber dennoch durch seinen aggressiven Krankheitsverlauf gekennzeichnet. Diese Patienten profitieren bereits in einem frühen Krankheitsstadium von einer Stammzelltransplantation. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde retrospektiv untersucht, in wie weit verschiedene Patienten-, Krankheits- und Behandlungscharakteristika einen Einfluss auf das Gesamt- (OS) und progressionsfreie Überleben (PFS) nach einer ASCT sowohl beim HL als auch beim MCL haben. Ausgewertet wurden 33 Patienten mit einem HL und 26 Patienten mit einem MCL, die zwischen 1996 und 2012 eine Hochdosistherapie und anschließende ASCT bekommen haben. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass es bei beiden Erkrankungen zu einer Zunahme der Remissionsqualität nach ASCT kommt (HL: CR 39,4% → 69,7%, PR 39,4% → 9,1%; MCL CR 50% → 80,8%, PR 42,3% → 7,7%). Das 10-Jahres OS bei Patienten mit einem HL in CR nach ASCT liegt bei 69,6% und das der MCL Patienten in CR bei immerhin 37,1%. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden, dass bei Patienten mit einem HL, ein statistisch signifikanter inverser Zusammenhang zwischen der Anzahl transfundierter Thrombozytenkonzentrate und der Anzahl transplantierter CD34-positiver Zellen besteht.

description: Based on the physics of stochastic processes we present a new approach for structural health monitoring. We show that the new method allows for an in-situ analysis of the elastic features of a mechanical structure even for realistic excitations with correlated noise as it appears in real-world situations. In particular an experimental set-up of undamaged and damaged beam structures was exposed to a noisy excitation under turbulent wind conditions. The method of reconstructing stochastic equations from measured data has been extended to realistic noisy excitations like those given here. In our analysis the deterministic part is separated from the stochastic dynamics of the system and we show that the slope of the deterministic part, which is linked to mechanical features of the material, changes sensitively with increasing damage. The results are more significant than corresponding changes in eigenfrequencies, as commonly used for structural health monitoring.

Development of an energy-absorbing seat base to reduce risk of whiplash injuries in rear end collisions
Creators: name: Saffari, Payam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Rear end collisions are the most frequently occurring type of motor vehicle collisions. The most common type of injuries reported, as a consequence of rear end collisions, are soft tissue neck injuries—often called whiplash injuries. These injuries bring about significant costs to society and every year a substantial portion of insurance claims are dedicated to these injuries. In BC alone, whiplash injuries cost over $850 million annually. The automobile seating system is the predominant safety device employed to protect the occupant from whiplash injury during a rear end collision. To enhance the safety of vehicle seats, several safety systems have been developed, which focus mostly on the head restraint and the seat back; however, utilizing the seat base as a component to further assist in whiplash protection has remained relatively unexamined. The objective of this study is to develop an energy-absorbing supplemental safety system mounted into the seat base to reduce the dynamic effects of a rear end collision on a front seat occupant, and thus reduce the risk of whiplash injury. Aluminum foam is used as the energy-absorbing element in the proposed system. This concept was first proposed by Mansour and Romilly (2011), and the current study continues the previous research by bringing it to a later stage in terms of the validation and accuracy of the predictive models used, and the design of the prototype device. A finite element based model of a BioRID-II seated in a GM High Retention Seat was developed in this study. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed system, the results of the seat-dummy model with and without the device installed were compared, and the effects of the proposed safety system on the occupant’s dynamic response were critically assessed. Furthermore, the relationships between the geometry and material properties of the foam and the potential of occupant injury (as assessed using selected neck injury criteria) were investigated. The results indicate that employing the proposed system can effectively reduce the risk of whiplash injuries in rear end collisions over a range of severity ranging from low (3.8 kmph) to high speed impacts (32.2 kmph).

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: The effect of geometrical shape of eroding absolutely rigid particles on the threshold rate of failure has been studied. The Shtaerman-Kilchevsky theory of quasi-static blunt impact, which generalizes Hertz's classical impact theory, is used for modeling the frictionless contact interaction of an axially-symmetric particle with an elastic half-space. The incubation time fracture criterion is applied for predicting surface fracture. It is shown that there exist a critical value of the particle shape parameter such that for all its lower values the fracture energy possesses a nonzero minimal value.

description: A compact coplanar passive MMIC mixer has been developed, realized and tested successfully as a cost effective part of an I/Q demodulator module for applications in 2.4 GHz transponder systems. Although there are no external elements required, the cold-FET mixer's size is only 1 mm2 including bias and active matching networks. Operating with 6V/15mA DC bias, required by the active matching FETs, the mixer has a maximum conversion gain of -2 dB at 9.5 dBm LO power and 100 MHz IF frequency. Intermodulation measurements show an IP3 of 6.9 dBm. The small wafer area is due to a consequent use of active elements for matching and biasing purposes.

description: The electronic specific heat of as-grown and annealed single-crystals of FeSe1-xTex (0.6<=x<=1) has been investigated. It has been found that annealed single-crystals with x=0.6-0.9 exhibit bulk superconductivity with a clear specific-heat jump at the superconducting (SC) transition temperature, Tc. Both 2Delta_0/kBTc [Delta_0: the SC gap at 0 K estimated using the single-band BCS s-wave model] and Delta C/(gamma_n-gamma_0)Tc [Delta C$: the specific-heat jump at Tc, gamma_n: the electronic specific-heat coefficient in the normal state, gamma_0: the residual electronic specific-heat coefficient at 0 K in the SC state] are largest in the well-annealed single-crystal with x=0.7, i.e., 4.29 and 2.76, respectively, indicating that the superconductivity is of the strong coupling. The thermodynamic critical field has also been estimated. gamma_n has been found to be one order of magnitude larger than those estimated from the band calculations and increases with increasing x at x=0.6-0.9, which is surmised to be due to the increase in the electronic effective mass, namely, the enhancement of the electron correlation. It has been found that there remains a finite value of gamma_0 in the SC state even in the well-annealed single-crystals with x=0.8-0.9, suggesting an inhomogeneous electronic state in real space and/or momentum space.

description: We construct a new example of the spinning-particle model without Grassmann variables. The spin degrees of freedom are described on the base of an inner anti-de Sitter space. This produces both $Γ^μ$ and $Γ^{μν}$\,-matrices in the course of quantization. Canonical quantization of the model implies the Dirac equation. We present the detailed analysis of both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formulations of the model and obtain the general solution to the classical equations of motion. Comparing {\it Zitterbewegung} of the spatial coordinate with the evolution of spin, we ask on the possibility of space-time interpretation for the inner space of spin. We enumerate similarities between our analogous model of the Dirac equation and the two-body system subject to confining potential which admits only the elliptic orbits of the order of de Broglie wave-length. The Dirac equation dictates the perpendicularity of the elliptic orbits to the direction of center-of-mass motion.

description: We investigate the role of quantum fluctuations in topological quantum phase transitions of quantum spin Hall insulators and quantum anomalous Hall insulators. Employing the variational cluster approximation to obtain the single-particle Green's function of the interacting many-body system, we characterize different phases by direct calculation of the recently proposed topological order parameter for interacting systems. We pinpoint the influence of quantum fluctuations on the quantum spin Hall to Mott insulator transition in several models. Furthermore, we propose a general mechanism by which a topological quantum phase transition can be driven by the divergence of the self energy induced by interactions.
GPU hardware acceleration for industrial applications : using computation to push beyond physical limitations

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis explores the possibility of utilizing Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to address the computational demand of algorithms used to mitigate the inherent physical limitations in devices such as microscopes and 3D-scanners. We investigate the outcome and test our methodology for the following case studies: - the narrow field of view found in microscopes. - the limited pixel-resolution available in active 3D sensing technologies such as laser scanners. The algorithms that offer to mitigate these limitations suffer from high computational requirements, rendering them ineffective for time-sensitive applications. In our methodology we exploit parallel programming and software engineering practices to efficiently harness the GPU's potential to provide the needed computational performance. Our goal is to show that it is feasible to use GPU hardware acceleration to address computational requirements of these algorithms for time-sensitive industrial applications. The results of this work demonstrate the potential for using GPU hardware acceleration in meeting computational requirements of such applications. We achieved twice the performance required to algorithmically extend the narrow field of view in microscopes for micro-pathology, and we reached the performance required to upsample the pixel-resolution of a 3D scanner in real-time, for use in autonomous excavation and collision detection in mining.

description: A novel compact microstrip to coplanar waveguide (CPW) transition is proposed for flip-chip interconnection. Broadband performance of the transition is simulated and agrees well with measured results. A good interconnection between microstrip line on a motherboard to CPW on a flip-chip is accomplished without any vias. For 10dB return loss, the microstrip-to-CPW transition and the microstrip-to-flip-chip interconnection present 170% and 140% bandwidth, respectively.

Hard Carbon Anode Materials for Sodium-ion Batteries
Creators: name: Dou, Xinwei
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2019

description: Die Entwicklung der Lithium-Ionen-Batterie (LIBs) zählt zu den bedeutendsten Errungenschaften der vergangenen 30 Jahre und Ihre Erfolgsgeschichte spiegelt sich vor allem bei Mobilfunkgeräten, Notebooks und in der Elektromobilität wieder. Aufgrund der stetig wachsenden Nachfrage an LIBs kann es in Zukunft jedoch zu Engpässen bei der Lieferung der Rohmaterialien kommen, welche beispielsweise den Preis für Lithium treiben. Im Gegensatz dazu ist Natrium häufiger in der Erdkruste vorhanden und dementsprechend günstig, wodurch Batterien basierend auf Natrium (Sodium-ion batteries, SIBs) als Ladungsträger zu den nachhaltigen und preiswerten Alternativen gelten. Da beide Technologien auf dem gleichen Funktionsprinzip basieren könnten SIBs in bereits vorhandener Infrastruktur produziert werden, was eine Kommerzialisierung zusätzlich erleichtert. Eine der größten Herausforderungen für eine erfolgreiche Kommerzialisierung von SIBs ist jedoch, geeignete Aktivmaterialien für die negative Elektrode zu identifizieren. Graphit, das Standard Aktivmaterial in LIBs, kann aufgrund seines niedrigen Potentials und der Größe des Natrium Ions nicht verwendet werden. Hard Carbons (Nicht graphitierte Hartkohlenstoffe), speziell jene gewonnen aus Bioabfällen, sind aufgrund ihrer geringen Anschaffungskosten und der guten elektrochemischen Leistungsfähigkeit die vielversprechendsten Kandidaten für Anodenmaterialien in SIBs. Dennoch müssen für eine kommerzielle Anwendung zunächst verbleibende Herausforderungen wie beispielsweise das genaue Verständnis der Struktur oder der elektrochemische Na+ Speichermechanismus überwunden werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden Hard Carbons im Hinblick auf ein besseres elektrochemisches Verständnis mit dem Fokus auf drei Parameter untersucht. Zunächst werden unterschiedliche Hard Carbons, gewonnen aus diversen Bioabfällen, charakterisiert, um den geeignetsten Kandidaten zu identifizieren. In einem zweiten Schritt wird der Einfluss der Porosität des Materials im Ganzen, und speziell der Zusammenhang zwischen geschlossenen Poren und der elektrochemischen Leistungsfähigkeit untersucht. Im letzten Teil wird der Einfluss der Säurebehandlung, einem Vorbehandlungsschritt bei der Synthese von Hard Carbons, im Hinblick auf das bessere Verständnis des Zusammenhangs zwischen Struktur des Materials und seinem Na+ Speichermechanismus untersucht. Alle drei Studien zielen darauf ab, in Zukunft nachhaltige, kostengünstige und vor allem leistungsfähige Hard Carbons als Anodenmaterialien für kommerzielle Natrium-Ionen Batterien zu entwickeln.

description: We consider the relation between higher spin gauge fields and real Kac-Moody Lie algebras. These algebras are obtained by double and triple extensions of real forms g_0 of the finite-dimensional simple algebras g arising in dimensional reductions of gravity and supergravity theories. Besides providing an exhaustive list of all such algebras, together with their associated involutions and restricted root diagrams, we are able to prove general properties of their spectrum of generators with respect to a decomposition of the triple extension of g_0 under its gravity subalgebra gl(D,R). These results are then combined with known consistent models of higher spin gauge theory to prove that all but finitely many generators correspond to non-propagating fields and there are no higher spin fields contained in the Kac-Moody algebra.
