description: Ehemalige Geschäftsstraßen veröden. Der Leerstand und der dadurch entstandene Sanierungsrückstau verändern den Charakter ehemals belebter Straßenzüge. Die Gründe für diese zunehmende Verödung sind manigfaltig. Die zentralen Ursachen stellen die Abwanderung aus der City in Shopping-Center bzw. auch in Fachmarktzentren sowie der steigende Onlinehandel, der dem stationären Handel zusehens massive Rückgänge verursacht dar. Hierbei erfolgt eine Verschärfung dieses Problems in der Zukunft. Weitere Gründe sind die Sogwirkung der Abwanderung von Frequenzbringern, die unattraktiven bzw. unsanierten Lokalflächen, die mangelnde Ansprache neuer Zielgruppen sowie die nicht erfolgte ¿Einheitliche Vermarktung¿ eines gesamten Viertels bzw. eines Straßenzuges. Der Desk Research und der Field Research anhand des Fallbeispiels haben ergeben, dass Handlungsbedarf vorhanden ist und effiziente gebündelte Aktivitäten von Nöten sind, um langfristig verwaiste Straßenzüge bzw. unattraktive Viertel wiederzubeleben. Ein ganzheitlicher Marketing-Ansatz durch einen sog. Grätzl-Manager verantwortet, stellt hierfür eine effiziente Lösung dar. Eigentümer der Liegenschaften, Wirtschaftstreibende und Immobilienberater werden dabei allesamt einbezogen und ziehen an einem Strang. Unter Einbeziehung aller Stakeholer-Interessen erarbeitet der Grätzl-Manager für das Viertel einen USP, von welchem das ganzheitliche Marketingkonzept abgeleitet wird. Der USP und damit das neue Selbstverständnis muss auf allen Ebenen gelebt und kommuniziert werden. All das mit dem Ziel Impulse zu schaffen, damit Eigentümer Anreize bekommen ihre Häuser zu sanieren bzw. attraktive Geschäftslokale zu schaffen. Es werden neue Zielgruppen definiert und alle Marketinginstrumente dahingehend eingesetzt, dass diese sich für diesen Standort entscheiden. Damit wird neue Kundenfrequenz geschaffen. Diese Frequenz schafft Umsatz, Umsatz zieht neue Kaufleute an und somit wieder neue Kunden an - ein Kreislauf, der für alle Stakeholder positive Effekte lukriert und zusätzlich wieder traditionelle Grätzl schafft.

description: Agile and DevOps are widely adopted by the industry. Hence, integrating security activities with industrial practices, such as continuous integration (CI) pipelines, is necessary to detect security flaws and adhere to regulators' demands early. In this paper, we analyze automated security activities in CI pipelines of enterprise-driven open source software (OSS). This shall allow us, in the long-run, to better understand the extent to which security activities are (or should be) part of automated pipelines. In particular, we mine publicly available OSS repositories and survey a sample of project maintainers to better understand the role that security activities and their related tools play in their CI pipelines. To increase transparency and allow other researchers to replicate our study (and to take different perspectives), we further disclose our research artefacts. Our results indicate that security activities in enterprise-driven OSS projects are scarce and protection coverage is rather low. Only 6.83% of the analyzed 8,243 projects apply security automation in their CI pipelines, even though maintainers consider security to be rather important. This alerts industry to keep the focus on vulnerabilities of 3rd Party software and it opens space for other improvements of practice which we outline in this manuscript.

Antecedents and consequences of certification of software engineering processes
Creators: name: Fuller, Gordon Keith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Abstract Software development projects are frequently problematic and often fail. Certification of software engineering processes to quality standards such as the ISO 9000 or SEI CMM family of standards may be a viable means of dealing with these problems. Nevertheless, such certification is infrequently sought. This research consists of two investigations, one on the consequences and the other on the antecedents of certification of software engineering processes. The first investigation is comprised of four event studies of the market reaction to announcements of certification of software engineering processes. The first event study shows that in America the market interprets the announcement of certification to ISO 9000 as portending increased future revenue flows for companies that focus on the production of products, but not for companies that produce services. In contrast, the second event study shows that the Japanese market anticipates a reduction in future revenue streams associated with the announcement of certification for companies that focus on the production of services but not for companies producing products. Respectively, the third and fourth event studies found no significant American market response to announcements of assessments using the Software Capability Maturity Model or the Capability Maturity Model Integrated standards. The second investigation used a survey methodology. There was a significant relationship between the likelihood to certify and the competitiveness of the company's marketplace, the size of the company's typical project team, and the anticipated direct costs of certification. No evidence was found to support the hypotheses that risk of failure, size of company, culture of quality, or focus on product versus service were related to likelihood to certify. The most interesting findings are interpreted as follows. The differences between the consequences of certification in Japanese and American markets possibly reflect a American focus on short-term cost reduction when products are produced versus a Japanese longer-term concern over quality issues when services are provided. Although American companies that produce products are likely to see a financial benefit, they are no more likely than those producing services to seek certification, suggesting that reasons other than financial benefit influence decisions to certify.

description: Im Rahmen dieser wissenschaftlichen Arbeit wird der Faktor Lage im Kontext des Richtwertmietzinses dargestellt und kritisch analysiert. Vor allem die Maßgeblichkeit des Zuschlagskriteriums und dessen intransparenter bzw verfassungsrechtlich bedenklichen Regelungsbereich stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Es wird untersucht, welche Problemstellungen die normierten Berechnungsvorgaben zwangsläufig mit sich bringen und warum die zugrunde liegenden Parameter für Unsicherheit beim Rechtsadressaten sorgen. Diesen Bedenken folgend, stellt sich auch die Frage, ob die gesetzliche Ausgestaltung des Richtwertsystems den verfassungsmäßig verankerten Grundsätzen hinsichtlich Gleichheit und Rechtssicherheit entspricht. Unter Bezugnahme auf die relevante Fachliteratur werden die Themenbereiche nachvollziehbar erörtert und wissenschaftlich analysiert. Diese theoretischen Ausführungen werden durch ein konkretes Praxisbeispiel ergänzt. Im Ergebnis kann festgehalten werden, dass der Lagezuschlag nicht nur aufgrund seiner betragsmäßigen Auswirkung, sondern auch infolge seiner diffizilen Beschränkungen und den damit einhergehenden Fragen nach der grundsätzlichen Zulässigkeit im Einzelfall, die entscheidende Rolle bei der Ermittlung des zulässigen Richtwertmietzinses einnimmt. Im Praxisbeispiel wird aufgezeigt, wie unter Einhaltung aller Möglichkeiten für Zuschläge bzw Abstriche zum Richtwert innerhalb ihrer Spannbreiten zwei deutlich unterschiedliche Mietzinshöhen berechenbar sind. Es wird offensichtlich, dass die Vielzahl an unklaren Gesetzesbestimmungen und widersprüchlicher Judikatur zur absoluten Intransparenz hinsichtlich der Mietzinsbildung führt. Die diesbezüglichen verfassungsrechtlichen Bedenken werden von den Höchstgerichten allerdings zurückgewiesen. Man beruft sich dabei insbesondere auf den erheblichen Gestaltungsspielraum, welcher dem Gesetzgeber bei der Verwirklichung seiner sozialpolitischen Ziele zukommt. Dies ist allerdings nur bedingt nachvollziehbar. Gerade das Mietrecht als alltagsrelevante Rechtsmaterie sollte so aufgebaut und formuliert sein, dass auch der durchschnittlich fachkundige Mieter in der Lage ist, Rechte und Pflichten daraus abzuleiten.

description: In the last few years, smart grids technologies have been deployed in electricity networks through national and regional initiatives, worldwide. Currently, a smart grid body of knowledge is being built around the outcomes of projects sponsored by these initiatives. Now, the impacts and benefits of demonstration projects might be measured and decision makers are able to evaluate the possibility to deploy those types of technologies on a large scale. This thesis reviews the smart grid technologies deployed on electricity networks of two important regions: U.S. and Europe; and it condenses the principal statistics around smart grids investments in those two regions. It gives an introduction of smart grid architecture model (SGAM), which is used to analyze the smart grid systems in technology-neutral manner. In smart grid systems, information and communication technologies will become the central nervous system of the power network. Due to this situation, cybersecurity will play a significant role in the electricity grid landscape. This thesis examines the vulnerabilities present in devices and cyber assets, as well as possible threats of the network. Another aspect which is of considerable interest in the electric sector is the evolution of electricity tariffs in smart grids. The document describes the current electricity tariff structure in Europe and how it can change due to the integration of new technology in the distribution network. Smart grid project should be assessed quantitatively and qualitatively to determine the impact on current power systems. For this purpose, it is performed a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) on future projects. The European commission through the Joint research center elaborated a CBA methodology to evaluate smart grid projects. The asset-functionalities-benefits mapping is at the core of the methodology, and with this, projects show the economic value proposition for the customers.

Metal-insulator transition in a two-dimensional electron system: the orbital effect of in-plane magnetic field
Creators: name: Tarasov, Yu. V.
Publisher: name: arXiv

description: The conductance of an open quench-disordered two-dimensional (2D) electron system subject to an in-plane magnetic field is calculated within the framework of conventional Fermi liquid theory applied to actually a three-dimensional system of spinless electrons confined to a highly anisotropic (planar) near-surface potential well. Using the calculation method suggested in this paper, the magnetic field piercing a finite range of infinitely long system of carriers is treated as introducing the additional highly non-local scatterer which separates the circuit thus modelled into three parts -- the system as such and two perfect leads. The transverse quantization spectrum of the inner part of the electron waveguide thus constructed can be effectively tuned by means of the magnetic field, even though the least transverse dimension of the waveguide is small compared to the magnetic length. The initially finite (metallic) value of the conductance, which is attributed to the existence of extended modes of the transverse quantization, decreases rapidly as the magnetic field grows. This decrease is due to the mode number reduction effect produced by the magnetic field. The closing of the last current-carrying mode, which is slightly sensitive to the disorder level, is suggested as the origin of the magnetic-field-driven metal-to-insulator transition widely observed in 2D systems.

description: We discusses the charge asymmetry in $ B\rightarrow D\bar DK$ decays with an invariant mass of the $D\bar D$ pair near the $Ψ(3770)$ resonance. Unlike $ Ψ(3770) $ decays in $ e^+e^- $ annihilation, in $B^+$ decays the probability of $D^0\bar D^0$ production is almost three times higher than $D^+ D^-$. In $B^0$ decays, the ratio of these probabilities will be opposite. The effect is explained by the fact that, in $B$ -meson decays, the $D\bar D$ pair is produced in a superposition of isoscalar and isovector states, and only in combination with $K$ -mesons the total state has $ 1/2 $ isospin. We present a simple model in which the interference of the nonresonant isovector amplitude with the resonant isoscalar amplitude explains the experimental data.

description: The production of a highly-polarized positron beam via nonlinear Breit-Wheeler processes during the interaction of an ultraintense circularly polarized laser pulse with a longitudinally spin-polarized ultrarelativistic electron beam is investigated theoretically. A new Monte Carlo method employing fully spin-resolved quantum probabilities is developed under the local constant field approximation to include three-dimensional polarizations effects in strong laser fields. The produced positrons are longitudinally polarized through polarization transferred from the polarized electrons by the medium of high-energy photons. The polarization transfer efficiency can approach 100\% for the energetic positrons moving at smaller deflection angles. This method simplifies the post-selection procedure to generate high-quality positrons in further applications. In a feasible scenario, a highly polarized ($40\%-65\%$), intense ($10^5$/bunch$-10^6 $/bunch), collimated ($5$mrad$-70$ mrad) positron beam can be obtained in a femtosecond timescale. The longitudinally polarized positron sources are desirable for applications in high-energy physics and material science .

description: The physics of high-energy collider experiments asks for delicate comparisons between theoretical predictions and experimental data. Signals and potential backgrounds for new physics have to be predicted at sufficient accuracy. The accuracy as well as the computational complexity of the calculations leading to the predictions depend on both the number of external particles in the process analyzed and the order of the quantum corrections, the number of loops, included in the calculation. We present some approaches to problems occurring in these calculations regarding the integration of phase-space and the inclusion of one-loop corrections.

description: We consider the application of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) in the optical and in the near infrared for the determination of distances to nearby galaxies. We analyze ACS VI (F555W & F814W) data and self-consistently cross-calibrate WFC3-IR JH (F110W & F120W) data using and absolute magnitude calibration of M_I = -4.05 mag as determined in the LMC using detached eclipsing binary star geometric parallaxes. We demonstrate how the optical and near-infrared calibrations of the TRGB method are mathematically self-consistent, and illustrate the mathematical basis and relations amongst these multi-wavelength calibrations. We go on to present a method for determining the reddening, extinction and the true modulus to the host galaxy using multi-wavelength data. The power of the method is that with high-precision data, the reddening can be determined using the TRGB stars themselves, and decreases the systematic (albeit generally small) uncertainty in distance due to reddening for these halo stars.

description: Stochastic particle--based models are useful tools for describing the collective movement of large crowds of pedestrians in crowded confined environments. Using descriptions based on the simple exclusion process, two populations of particles, mimicking pedestrians walking in a built environment, enter a room from two opposite sides. One population is passive -- being unaware of the local environment; particles belonging to this group perform a symmetric random walk. The other population has information on the local geometry in the sense that as soon as particles enter a visibility zone, a drift activates them. Their self-propulsion leads them towards the exit. This second type of species is referred here as active. The assumed crowdedness corresponds to a near--jammed scenario. The main question we ask in this paper is: Can we induce modifications of the dynamics of the active particles to improve the outgoing current of the passive particles? To address this question, we compute occupation number profiles and currents for both populations in selected parameter ranges. Besides observing the more classical faster--is--slower effect, new features appear as prominent like the non--monotonicity of currents, self--induced phase separation within the active population, as well as acceleration of passive particles for large--drift regimes of active particles.

description: The dilatation generator measures the scaling dimensions of local operators in a conformal field theory. In this thesis we consider the example of maximally supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions and develop and extend techniques to derive, investigate and apply the dilatation operator. We construct the dilatation operator by purely algebraic means: Relying on the symmetry algebra and structural properties of Feynman diagrams we are able to bypass involved, higher-loop field theory computations. In this way we obtain the complete one-loop dilatation operator and the planar, three-loop deformation in an interesting subsector. These results allow us to address the issue of integrability within a planar four-dimensional gauge theory: We prove that the complete dilatation generator is integrable at one-loop and present the corresponding Bethe ansatz. We furthermore argue that integrability extends to three-loops and beyond. Assuming that it holds indeed, we finally construct a novel spin chain model at five-loops and propose a Bethe ansatz which might be valid at arbitrary loop-order! We illustrate the use of our technology in several examples and also present two key applications for the AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: This paper introduces a new benchmarking dataset for marine snow removal of underwater images. Marine snow is one of the main degradation sources of underwater images that are caused by small particles, e.g., organic matter and sand, between the underwater scene and photosensors. We mathematically model two typical types of marine snow from the observations of real underwater images. The modeled artifacts are synthesized with underwater images to construct large-scale pairs of ground truth and degraded images to calculate objective qualities for marine snow removal and to train a deep neural network. We propose two marine snow removal tasks using the dataset and show the first benchmarking results of marine snow removal. The Marine Snow Removal Benchmarking Dataset is publicly available online.

description: We conduct the first 3D hydrodynamic simulations of oxygen-neon white dwarf-neutron star/black hole mergers (ONe WD-NS/BH mergers). Such mergers constitute a significant fraction, and may even dominate, the inspiral rates of all WD-NS binaries. We post-process our simulations to obtain the nuclear evolution of these systems and couple the results to a supernova spectral synthesis code to obtain the first light curves and spectra for these transients. We find that the amount of $^{56}$Ni synthesised in these mergers grows as a strong function of the WD mass, reaching typically $0.05$ and up to $0.1\,{\rm M}_\odot$ per merger. Photodisintegration leads to similar amounts of $^4$He and about a ten times smaller amount of $^1$H. The nuclear yields from these mergers, in particular those of $^{55}$Mn, may contribute significantly to Galactic chemical evolution. The transients expected from ONe WD-NS mergers are dominantly red/infrared, evolve on month-long timescales and reach bolometric magnitudes of up to -16.5. The current surveys must have already detected these transients or are, alternatively, putting strong constraints on merger scenarios. The properties of the expected transients from WD-NS mergers best agree with faint type Iax supernovae. The Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST) will be detecting up to thousands of merging ONe WD-NS systems per year. We simulate a subset of our models with 2D axisymmetric FLASH code to investigate why they have been challenging for previous studies. We find that the likely main challenge has been effectively modelling the nuclear statistical equilibrium regime in such mergers.

description: Numerous antenna design approaches for wearable applications have been investigated in the literature. As on-body wearable communications become more ingrained in our daily activities, the necessity to investigate the impacts of these networks burgeons as a major requirement. In this study, we investigate the human electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure effect from on-body wearable devices at 2.4 GHz and 60 GHz, and compare the results to illustrate how the technology evolution to higher frequencies from wearable communications can impact our health. Our results suggest the average specific absorption rate (SAR) at 60 GHz can exceed the regulatory guidelines within a certain separation distance between a wearable device and the human skin surface. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first work that explicitly compares the human EMF exposure at different operating frequencies for on-body wearable communications, which provides a direct roadmap in design of wearable devices to be deployed in the Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT).

description: We propose a new test of strong-field general relativity (GR) based on the universal interferometric signature of the black hole photon ring. The photon ring is a narrow ring-shaped feature, predicted by GR but not yet observed, that appears on images of sources near a black hole. It is caused by extreme bending of light within a few Schwarzschild radii of the event horizon and provides a direct probe of the unstable bound photon orbits of the Kerr geometry. We show that the precise shape of the observable photon ring is remarkably insensitive to the astronomical source profile and can therefore be used as a stringent test of GR. We forecast that a tailored space-based interferometry experiment targeting M87* could test the Kerr nature of the source to the sub-sub-percent level.

description: In many modern applications, a dependent functional response is observed for each subject over repeated time, leading to longitudinal functional data. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical procedure to test whether the mean function varies over time. Our approach relies on reducing the dimension of the response using data-driven orthogonal projections and it employs a likelihood-based hypothesis testing. We investigate the methodology theoretically and discuss a computationally efficient implementation. The proposed test maintains the type I error rate, and shows excellent power to detect departures from the null hypothesis in finite sample simulation studies. We apply our method to the longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging study of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to formally assess whether the brain's health tissue, as summarized by fractional anisotropy (FA) profile, degrades over time during the study period.

description: The measurement of an electromagnetic radiation field by a linearly accelerated observer is discussed. The nonlocality of this process is emphasized. The nonlocal theory of accelerated observers is briefly described and the consequences of this theory are illustrated using a concrete example involving the measurement of an incident pulse of radiation by an observer that experiences uniform acceleration during a limited interval of time.

description: Stochastically switching force terms appear frequently in models of biological systems under the action of active agents such as proteins. The interaction of switching force and Brownian motion can create an "effective thermal equilibrium" even though the system does not obey a potential function. In order to extend the field of energy landscape analysis to understand stability and transitions in switching systems, we derive the quasipotential that defines this effective equilibrium for a general overdamped Langevin system with a force switching according to a continuous-time Markov chain process. Combined with the string method for computing most-probable transition paths, we apply our method to an idealized system and show the appearance of previously unreported numerical challenges. We present modifications to the algorithms to overcome these challenges, and show validity by demonstrating agreement between our computed quasipotential barrier and asymptotic Monte Carlo transition times in the system.

description: The world of production logistics has been changed over the last centuries by means of three industrial revolutions. It was already foreseeable that life would be even faster and more intense as global mobility and networking are making our world smaller, more transparent and faster than ever. The fourth revolution has already begun to emerge but this is only the beginning of Industry 4.0. It might be reasonably assumed that this paradigm shift is bearing both positive and negative effects on economy and society. This master thesis reflects actual and upcoming trends mainly attributed to production logistical processes, interacting in a digitized environment. It displays the vision of autonomy, describes the demand on processes and introduces specific and innovation-oriented approaches to logistical solutions. Complex systems are exposed to many variables, promising developments in new technologies imply possibilities and options in current practices. Novel methodological capabilities that enable more efficient operations, enhanced manufacturing depth, individually personalized products and the entrance into new markets, which becomes practically limited by conventional applied techniques. In combination with Cloud Computing, the fourth trendsetting revolution is taking over in multiple lines of business which respond and adapt to the changing market condition. Always looking for improvement, sustainability and profitability the design of the new generation knows no stereotypical paradigms and is internationally considered to be groundbreaking. Market-opening measures plus its financial and economic considerations have predominated so far, sometimes neglecting the resultant social consequences. But with the addition that this fact generally tends to become a meaningful subject since the role and importance of the employee is constantly changing. This thesis can help smaller-sized companies for getting an overview of upcoming developments and serves as a tool for technical and economic decisions. Another ambition is to propose possibilities and alternatives towards the digitization of production logistical processes by considering the role of the employee.
Did Sequence Dependent Geometry Influence the Evolution of the Genetic Code?

description: The genetic code is the function from the set of codons to the set of amino acids by which a DNA sequence encodes proteins. Since the codons also influence the shape of the DNA molecule itself, the same sequence that encodes a protein also has a separate geometric interpretation. A question then arises: How well-duplexed are these two "codes"? In other words, in choosing a genetic sequence to encode a particular protein, how much freedom does one still have to vary the geometry (or vice versa). A recent paper by the first author addressed this question using two different methods. After reviewing those results, this paper addresses the same question with a third method: the use of Monte Carlo and Gaussian sampling methods to approximate a multi-integral representing the mutual information of a variety of possible genetic codes. Once again, it is found that the genetic code used in nuclear DNA has a slightly lower than average duplexing efficiency as compared with other hypothetical genetic codes. A concluding section discusses the significance of these surprising results.

description: We present a study of the decay of an intermediate mini black hole at the first impact of a cosmic ray particle with the atmosphere, in the context of D-brane world scenarios with TeV scale gravity and large extra dimensions. We model the decay of the black hole using the semiclassical approximation and include the corrections coming from energy loss into the bulk. Extensive simulations show that mini black hole events are characterized by essentially different multiplicities and wider lateral distributions of the air showers as a function of the energy of the incoming primary, as compared to standard events. Implications for their detection and some open issues on their possible discovery are also briefly addressed.

Linkage social capital as a determinant of Aboriginal health : an exploratory examination of social relationships
Creators: name: Hutchinson, Peter James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Variations in First Nations health between health service delivery areas (HSDA) in British Columbia do not conform to the volumes of research demonstrating increased socioeconomic status (SES) increases health status. The lack of congruence between research demonstrating a link between health and SES and First Nation health and SES may be accounted for by the variations in the number of communities that participate in relationships with the Canadian government that promote self-determination. The HSDAs that have more First Nation communities participating in health transfer and the British Columbia Treaty Commission process with more First Nations on-reserve have better health than HSDAs with few communities participating in these relationships and large off-reserve populations. HSDAs that have more Aboriginal organizations and services also have higher off-reserve populations and lower health status. These finding suggest that relationships promoting equal participation in the development of social programs improves the health status of those who utilize those social programs.
