description: A complete set of measurements ha been carried out in order to confirm the performances enhancement, previously observed in SERSE source when the cavity is fed by means of a TWT generator instead of a Klystron generator, which ha been commonly used. It was observed that higher extracted currents are produced for higher charge states by using TWT at 14 GHz, while higher extracted currents for every charge state were obtained when the microwaves at 18 GHz are provided to the source. A description of experimental set-up and of the results obtained are given next. The comparison of data will be analysed and an explanation in terms of the current model of ECRIS plasma will be proposed.

Denn "grau ist alle Theorie" und es geschieht selten, dass Theorien auf ihre Tauglichkeit in der Praxis geprüft werden. Und genau in diese Kerbe schlägt der vorliegende Artikel, der die Fortsetzung eines expositionierenden Artikels der Verfasserin, eine Art Praxisbericht, darstellt und zeigt, wie gemalte Kunstwerke als Sprechanlass im landeskundlichen DaF-Unterricht be-/genutzt werden können.

description: Traumatic events lead to distressing memories, but such memories are made all the worse when they intrude to mind unbidden and recurrently. Intrusive memories and flashbacks after trauma are prominent in several mental disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder and can persist for years. Critically, the reduction of intrusive memories provides a treatment target. While cognitive and descriptive models for psychological trauma exist, these lack formal quantitative structure and robust empirical validation. Here, using techniques from stochastic process theory, we develop a mechanistically driven, quantitative framework to extend understanding of the temporal dynamic processes of trauma memory. Our approach is to develop a probabilistic description of memory mechanisms to link to the broader goals of trauma treatment. We show how the marginal gains of treatment interventions for intrusive memories can be enhanced as key properties (intervention strength and reminder strength) of the intervention and memory consolidation (probability memories are labile) vary. Parameterizing the framework with empirical data highlights that while emerging interventions to reduce occurrence of intrusive memories can be effective, counterintuitively, weakening multiple reactivation cues may help reduce intrusive memories more than would stronger cues. More broadly, the approach provides a quantitative framework for associating neural mechanisms of memory with broader cognitive processes.
title: An Investigation of Stability, Change, and Observed Associations during Infant-Mother Face-to-Face Interaction
Creators: name: Gable, Sarah Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: Researchers of social development during infancy have long viewed social competence as a reflection of the infant's experiences during early social interactions. In this context of social interaction, the infant's earliest developmental task involves the ability to regulate arousal; with continued development and the accumulation of interactional experiences, the infant takes a more active role as an initiator/elicitor of interaction. A particularly salient type of social exchange during infancy occurs when mother and infant engage in face-to-face interaction. Consequently, it was the goal of this study to examine maternal and infant behavior in the context of face-to-face interaction in order to: 1) identify those maternal behaviors that promote the infant's capacity to regulate arousal and subsequently act as a competent interactive partner; and 2) examine the extent to which early social development proceeds in a continuous manner.
Thirty-one infant-mother dyads were videotaped in two 3-minute episodes of face-to-face interaction at 1 and 4 months. The first episode involved spontaneous face-to-face interaction; the second episode involved an attention-getting manipulation of maternal behavior. Maternal and infant interactive behaviors were coded for each episode at both ages. No significant differences were found in maternal or infant behavior across episodes, thus allowing for the data to be pooled. Significant findings regarding maternal behavior included the following: maternal interactive behavior was found to remain stable across time at the individual and normative levels; maternal behavior was positively associated with infant behavior at both ages; and maternal silence during infant gaze aversion was predictive of infant regulation of arousal. Conversely, infant behavior did not remain stable across time, at either the individual or normative level, thus suggesting that infants are changing. A most revealing association was discovered between 1-month maternal physical activity and 4-month infant regulation of arousal, suggesting that maternal behavior may have long-range effects on infant social competence. Consequently, from these findings, it has been suggested that maternal intrusive behaviors (e.g., physical activity, silence during infant gaze aversion) are focal in infant regulation of arousal and subsequent interactive competence.

description: The resistivity as a function of temperature, magnetic field and its orientation for atomically flat SrTiO3\LaAlO3 interfaces with carrier densities of ~3*10^13 cm^-2 is reported. At low magnetic fields superconductivity is observed below 130mK. The temperature dependence of the high field magnetoresistance and its strong anisotropy suggest possible magnetic ordering below 35K. The origin of this ordering and its possible relation to superconductivity are discussed.
title: Credit Use and Financial Satisfaction Among USU Community Credit Union Members

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: This study investigated the level of financial satisfaction of the family money manager in relation to socioeconomic characteristics, attitudes towards credit, and credit practices. The population was members of the USU Community Credit Union. Data were collected with a mail survey questionnaire from a random sample of 500 subjects. After multiple follow-up attempts, the response rate was 55.2 percent.
The dependent variable was financial satisfaction; the independent variables were categorized into three groups: socioeconomic characteristics, credit attitudes, and credit practices. The conceptual model of this study hypothesized that there is a relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Age, education, home value, household income, and savings were positively related to financial satisfaction. Those who felt comfortable with larger amounts of credit payment were associated with higher income levels and higher satisfaction levels. People with favorable attitudes toward borrowing money to pay for houses were more likely to be satisfied with their financial conditions. Convenience credit card users were more satisfied than installment users. Higher debt repayment-to-income ratios were associated with lower levels of financial satisfaction. Respondents' feeling about their credit obligations was the most powerful predictor of financial satisfaction; people who were concerned about their credit obligations were likely to be less satisfied with their financial situations that those who were not. Concern over credit obligations was not highly related to socioeconomic characteristics or debt repayment-to- income ratio. Accordingly, the subjective assessment of credit obligations was more important in explaining financial satisfaction than the objective measurement of family debt burden such as debt repayment-to-income ratio.
Fifty-two percent of the variation in financial satisfaction was accounted for by socioeconomic characteristics, credit attitudes, and credit practices. Credit practices were more powerful predictors of financial satisfaction than socioeconomic characteristics. This result illustrates the importance of credit management as a contributing factor in financial satisfaction.

title: Completion of a Personal Financial Management Course in Relation to Financial Satisfaction, Confidence and Practices
Creators: name: Morris, Shana R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between completion of a personal financial management course and financial satisfaction, confidence, and practices. The relationship between the use of recommended financial management practices and financial satisfaction and confidence was also examined.
Data for this study were collected through a questionnaire mailed to a sample of Utah State University graduates who had taken a personal financial management course at the university and those who had not. The survey investigated financial satisfaction, confidence in financial management skills, and use of recommended financial management techniques.
Mean financial satisfaction scores were computed by averaging responses to the multi-question six-point Likert scale. Confidence was measured by computing the mean score on a single-question six-point Likert scale. The measurement of use of recommended financial management practices was computed by summing the points assigned for use of recommended practices and the extent to which each was implemented. The recommended financial management practices scores were then divided into three groups: poor, average, and good.
One-way analysis of variance and the Scheffe multiple range test were used to determine if differences existed in the mean scores on financial satisfaction, confidence , and practices between respondents who had completed a college level personal financial management course and those who had not. These tests revealed that there is no significant difference in financial satisfaction, confidence, and practices between subjects who had completed a financial management course and those who had not. There was a significant difference between the groups in the mean number of recommended financial practices used and financial satisfaction and confidence, although mean scores were only separated by one point.
title: The Effects of a CD-ROM Computer Storybook Program on Head Start Children's Emergent Literacy
Creators: name: Talley, Susan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: This study examined the effects of a computer CD-ROM storybook program on 73 Head Start children in Logan, Utah. A variation on the two-group pretest/posttest design was used to determine if there was any increase in emergent literacy skills after spending an average of 15 minutes per day for an average of 12 days on the computer.
Previous research suggests that a child's home environment is integral to the preschool child 's emergent literacy development. A parent questionnaire designed for assessing information regarding the child 's I iterate environment at home was administered. Mean scores indicated that those children scoring highest on an aggregate score of four questions from the parental questionnaire also scored highest on three assessments of emergent literacy, supporting previous research that children who have been read to at home are more prepared to learn reading in the classroom.
Posttest scores indicated an increase in scores for the experimental group over the not-well-read-to control group on all three assessments. Two of the three measures indicated statistically significant differences from the well-read-to control group (p = < .05). One of the most interesting findings, however, was that the experimental group's assessment scores increased over the not-well-read-to control group, but did not exceed the well-read-to control group's scores, further supporting the evidence discussed above that children who are read to in the home have an advantage over those children who are not.
From these results, it was determined that computers cannot take the place of effective instruction in the home; however, when used appropriately in the classroom, the results of this study suggest that it is useful to integrate computers in the preschool classroom to augment the emergent literacy instruction already taking place.
The synthesis of anti-8-tricyclo [3.2.1.0 2,4] octanol and solvolysis of its p-bromobenzenes-ulphonyl derivative

description: The synthesis of anti-8-tricyclo [3.2.1.0[superscript 2,4]] octanol has been carried out by the cuprous chloride catalysed reaction of diazomethane on anti-7-norbornenol. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the p-bromo-benzene sulphonyl (brosylate) derivative has unambiguously shown the cyclopropyl group to be exo. Methylene addition to norbornene and 7-norbornadienyl acetate was achieved by the above method; for the latter, the two isomers whose presence was detected by n.m.r. could not be separated. The slow rate of the acetolysis of the brosylate of anti-8-tricyclo [3.2.1.0[superscript 2,4]] octanol suggests that this derivative resembles 7-norbornyl brosylate in solvolysis reactions, rather than anti-7-norbornenyl brosylate. Enthalphy of activation calculated for the tricyclic brosylate solvolysis is of the same order as that for the 7-norbornyl case. Product studies on material isolated from samples solvolysed up to the half life of the brosylate suggest the first product probably is anti-8-tricyclo [3.2.1.0[superscript 2,4] octanyl acetate. Prolonged solvolysis conditions result in a variety of products in which the cyclopropyl group has rearranged. The structures of these products could not be determined.
title: Maternal Responsivity to a Child with a Disability: A Comparison in Single- and Two-Parent Families
Creators: name: Bollwinkel, Kristin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the differences between mothers in single- and two-parent families as they interact with their child with a disability. The sample consisted of 240 children with developmental disabilities and their mothers. Maternal interaction behaviors were measured using the Maternal Behavior Rating Scale. Demographic information, child characteristic measures, and family functioning variables were also considered. Analyses of covariance indicated that there were no differences between interaction behaviors of mothers in single- and two-parent families. However, relationships between income, education, and family cohesion, and the types of interactions displayed between mother and child were found. The results of this study have implications for intervention specialists who work with children with disabilities. The importance of examining the family context in order to determine how to best tailor a treatment program to fit the need of the family is discussed.
title: Child Abuse in the Wake of Natural Disasters
Creators: name: Curtis, Thom
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: Natural and technological disasters impact thousands of families in the United States each year. Catastrophic events leave homelessness, unemployment, injury, and death in their wake. The cost to society is usually measured in homes destroyed, jobs lost, casualties, and expected dollar expense of recovery. There are the social, psychological, and family consequences of catastrophic stressors. Anecdotal reports suggest that among these consequences is an increase in family violence, including child abuse. This dissertation tests the hypotheses that reported and confirmed child abuse increases in the wake of natural disasters.
Child Protective Services (CPS) records of several jurisdictions that have experienced natural disasters during the past decade were examined. Data were collected from counties in South Carolina impacted by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, counties in California affected by the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989, and parishes in Louisiana impacted by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The numbers of reports and confirmations for a one-year period following each of these events were compared with those for the year prior to the disaster.
Analyses of these data indicated statistically significant increases in child abuse reports during the first 6 months following Hurricane Hugo and the Lama Prieta Earthquake, but showed no statistically significant change following Hurricane Andrew.
The study concluded that reactions to natural disasters vary for a number of different reasons. The findings from California and South Carolina indicated that there are changes in patterns of reporting and/or confirmation of child abuse following catastrophes. CPS workers in each of the impacted areas were interviewed to obtain their impressions regarding the extent and causes of these changes in reporting and substantiation.
Recommendations that governmental and social service agencies dedicate resources and develop programs to address this specific problem following catastrophes were included. Future research that replicates this study and the development of methodologies that do not depend on official reports and investigations were recommended.

description: "Herzlich willkommen, aber wir sind wir" (Gstrein, 1988: 80) heißt es in Norbert Gstreins Erzählung Einer, wenn die DorfbewohnerInnen von Fend zu Beginn der Feriensaison ihre Fahne hochziehen. Gstrein ist mit seinem literarischen Erstlingswerk, dessen Held an der sprachlosen Kälte der dörflichen Umgebung scheitert, ein erschütterndes Porträt eines Tiroler Fremdenverkehrszentrums gelungen. Wie wohl überall auf der Welt hat der Wohlstand, den viele Regionen dem Tourismus verdanken, auch in Österreich seine Spuren in der Werthaltung und der Alltagskultur der Bereisten hinterlassen. Die Suche nach dem Echten und Unberührten stört das Kulturgefüge der GastgeberInnen, auf der "Hinterbühne" der Kulisse zerbrechen all jene, die nicht in das gemütliche Image der KatalogösterreicherInnen passen (Luger, 1995: 662). Vom Ziel, durch einen intelligenten Tourismus und durch Einbindung der Einheimischen in die Tourismusplanung die Misere zu bereinigen, ist man heute noch weit entfernt. Daneben führt die Verkehrsbelastung im Transitland Österreich vielerorts zu einer erheblichen Verminderung der Lebensqualität, ländliche Regionen wie das Zillertal (Tirol) erreichen städtische Besiedlungsdichten (Luger, 1995: 665). Das Thema 'Tourismus' bietet sich in idealer Weise an, österreichische Landeskunde interkulturell und interdisziplinär aufzuarbeiten - von der Literatur über die Malerei, Musik und Geschichte bis hin zum Wirtschaftsstandort. Die Studierenden können dabei selbstreflektierend die Alltagskultur eines fremden Landes erarbeiten. Literarische Texte sind besonders geeignet, Unterschiede zwischen eigener und fremder Kultur zu verdeutlichen, da sie, wie Ehlers betont, durch ihre Bezugnahme auf Wirklichkeit Träger landeskundlicher Inhalte sind, ein subjektives Erleben fremden Handelns und Denkens ermöglichen und LeserInnen Vorurteile wie auch deren Reflexion auf anschauliche Weise vermitteln. Insofern trägt Literatur auch dazu bei, Vorurteile abzubauen (Ehlers, 2001: 1343f). An dieser Stelle ist freilich Vorsicht geboten, auf diesem Weg nicht wieder Klischees und Stereotype entstehen zu lassen oder zu verfestigen. Vielmehr gilt es, ein kritisches Problembewusstsein zu entwickeln und die Studierenden im Hinblick auf diese Problematik zu sensibilisieren. Im Folgenden sollen einige Unterrichtsentwürfe skizzieren, wie man das Thema in der Unterrichtspraxis einbringen könnte.

description: There has been a significant surge of interest in Horava's model for 3+1 dimensional quantum gravity, this model being based on anisotropic scaling at a z=3 Lifshitz point. Horava's model, and its variants, show dramatically improved ultra-violet behaviour at the cost of exhibiting violation of Lorentz invariance at ultra-high momenta. Following up on our earlier note, [arXiv:0904.4464 [hep-th]], we discuss in more detail our variant of Horava's model. In contrast to Horava's original model, we abandon "detailed balance" and restore parity invariance. We retain, however, Horava's "projectability condition" and explore its implications. Under these conditions, we explicitly exhibit the most general model, and extract the full classical equations of motion in ADM form. We analyze both spin-2 and spin-0 graviton propagators around flat Minkowski space. We furthermore analyze the classical evolution of FLRW cosmologies in this model, demonstrating that the higher-derivative spatial curvature terms can be used to mimic radiation fluid and stiff matter. We conclude with some observations concerning future prospects.

description: We follow the generalisation of exclusion statistics to infinite dimensional Hilbert space as envisaged in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf{72}}, 3629, 1994. We reproduce the third virial coefficients at leading order for single species of anionic gas and 2nd mixed virial coefficients for multicomponent anionic gas. We argue that this particular method can be useful in determining definition of mutual exclusion statistics. We demonstrate this by taking high temperature expansion of two particle partition function of well known systems and show that it follows Haldane's definition of exclusion statistics. We also discuss equilibrium particle distributions at thermodynamic limit.

Diese Aufgabe liegt sowohl im Aktionsfeld der Bildungsinstitutionen als auch in dem der Europäischen Kommission, denn das Erlernen von Fremdsprachen verbessert nicht nur die Kommunikation und überwindet nicht nur sprachliche Barrieren im Handeln mit Fremden, sondern es fördert Fähigkeiten und Qualifikationen, die für die EuropäerInnen der Zukunft von grundlegender Bedeutung sind. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es aufzuzeigen, wie im Rahmen eines Landeskunde-Seminars in der DeutschlehrerInnenausbildung interkulturelle Kompetenzen und die für die spätere Berufspraxis relevanten Handlungsdispositionen entwickelt werden können. Eine Begriffsdefinition wird nicht angestrebt - da dies auch von ExpertInnen kaum in Angriff genommen wird -, doch es werden Überlegungen bezüglich des Anforderungsprofils landeskundlichen Wissens und Könnens für den Beruf der/des Deutschlehrenden aufgestellt. Basierend auf einem integrativen Projektmodell werden die einzelnen Phasen der Arbeit an unterschiedlichen landeskundlichen Themen dargestellt, die im Vorfeld der Mobilitätsprogramme der EU dem bilateralen Studierenden-Austausch zugute kommen können. Die "Projekt-Produkte" der türkischen Deutschstudierenden bilden eine Alternative auf einem etwas niedrigeren Niveau zu dem ECTS-Studienführer der Universität und stehen den Incoming-Studierenden zu Dienste.

description: We consider the reduced density matrix of a large block of consecutive spins in the ground states of the XY spin chain on an infinite lattice. We derive the spectrum of the density matrix using the expression of the Renyi entropy in terms of modular functions. The eigenvalues λ_n form an exact geometric sequence. For example, for strong magnetic field λ_n = C \exp{(-πτ_0 n)}, here τ_0>0 and C > 0 depend on the anisotropy and the magnetic field. Different eigenvalues are degenerated differently. The largest eigenvalue is unique, but the degeneracy g_n increases sub-exponentially as eigenvalues diminish: g_n \sim \exp{(π\sqrt{n/3})}. For weak magnetic field expressions are similar.

description: We study the spectral properties of the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model as function of the exchange coupling, the band filling, and the quasimomentum in the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phase. Using the density-matrix renormalization group method, we compute the dispersion relation of the quasiparticles, their lifetimes, and the Z-factor. As a main result, we provide evidence for the existence of the spinpolaron at partial band fillings. We find that the quasiparticle lifetime differs by orders of magnitude between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phase and depends strongly on the quasimomentum.

description: Seit Jahren, ja seit Jahrzehnten treiben uns Post-Phänomene um - Postmoderne, Poststrukturalismus, postindustrielle Gesellschaft und, nicht zuletzt: postnationales Zeitalter. Sofern Sie sich schon einmal gefragt haben, ob Sie im Zeitalter der Postnationalität leben, dann bestimmt nicht mehr seit den Volksabstimmungen über die europäische Verfassung, die im Frühjahr 2005 in Frankreich und den Niederlanden stattgefunden haben. Deren Nein ist nicht zuletzt ein sprechender Beleg für die Lebendigkeit der Nationenidee, vielleicht mehr noch eines Nationalgefühls. Viel wichtiger aber: Das Nein ist Ausdruck von Zivilcourage und freier Meinungsäußerung. Wie immer man dazu stehen mag, und ein Franzose sieht das völlig anders als etwa ein Deutscher, Europa ersetzt die Idee der Nation (noch lange) nicht. Einige vermuteten das seit geraumer Zeit, die Volksabstimmungen haben es belegt. Seither ist das Lamento groß, für manch Medium gar ist Europa seither tot. Weit gefehlt. Aber was geschah, vor allem: warum geschah das Unerwartete? Das geschah: Verdiente Politiker aus vielen europäischen Ländern haben in einem ehrwürdigen Gremium, dem Verfassungsrat, genau gesagt, dem "Konvent zur Zukunft der Europäischen Union" unter dem Vorsitz von Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, bestehende Länderverfassungen gesichtet, sich über Bewährtes verständigt und dieses mehr oder weniger aneinandergereiht, versehen mit einer schönen Vorrede, als europäische Verfassung herausgegeben (http://www.eu-kommission.de/).

description: We report on the measurements of the kinetics of expanding and collapsing rings in the exciton emission pattern. The rings are found to preserve their integrity during expansion and collapse, indicating that the observed kinetics is controlled by charge carrier transport rather than by a much faster process of exciton production and decay. The relation between ring kinetics and carrier transport, revealed by our experiment and confirmed by comparison with a theoretical model, is used to determine electron and hole transport characteristics in a contactless fashion.

description: Seit mittlerweile schon weit über 20 Jahren ist in den verschiedenen Fremdsprachenwissenschaften die Rede vom 'interkulturellen Lernen'. Fremdsprachenunterricht, so heißt es, könne sich nicht auf das Erlernen von Phonetik, Grammatik und Wortschatz beschränken, sondern müsse zur Entwicklung 'interkultureller Kompetenzen', zu Toleranz, Empathie und Fremdverstehen beitragen. Dabei hat sich die Diskussion über das 'interkulturelle Lernen' lange Zeit auf zwei Bereiche beschränkt: Zum einen auf die Klärung der mit einem so hehren Anspruch daherkommenden Begrifflichkeit von 'interkulturellem Lernen' oder 'interkultureller Kompetenz' und zum anderen auf die Entwicklung entsprechender didaktischer Konzepte. Wenig bis nichts wissen wir allerdings bis heute darüber, was unter dem Stichwort 'interkulturelles Lernen' im Unterricht tatsächlich geschieht, wie die schönen theoretischen und didaktischen Konzepte in der Praxis 'ankommen' und inwieweit in einem solchen 'interkulturellen' Fremdsprachenunterricht tatsächlich 'interkulturelles' Lernen zustande kommt. Die Arbeit von Evelyn Röttger, die im Jahr 2001 als Dissertation an der Universität Wien angenommen wurde, will dieses in der Tat missliche Forschungsdesiderat zumindest ansatz- und teilweise beheben, indem sie auf der Basis empirischer Daten die konkrete Praxis des interkulturellen Fremdsprachenunterrichts am Beispiel Griechenland darstellt und analysiert. Dabei reicht die Bedeutung der Arbeit angesichts der misslichen Forschungslage weit über den engeren griechischen Kontext hinaus, macht sie doch wie wohl noch keine Arbeit zuvor deutlich, wie weit theoretisch-begriffliche Reflexion auf der einen und unterrichtliche Praxis auf der anderen gerade beim 'Interkulturellen' auseinander klaffen - und das, so darf zumindest vermutet werden, sicher nicht nur in Griechenland.

description: Quantum transport properties through single polycyclic hydrocarbon molecules attached to two metallic electrodes are studied by the use of Green's function technique. A parametric approach based on the tight-binding model is introduced to investigate the electronic transport through such molecular bridge systems. The transport properties are discussed in the aspects of (a) molecule-to-electrode coupling strength and (b) quantum interference effect.

description: In the long wavelength region the Synchrotron Radiation emission has peculiar properties. However, the Infra Red Synchrotron Radiation flux is linearly dependent on the beam current I. At DAFNE, an e+- e- collider, because of the short beam lifetime, infrared data acquisition performed using a Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer is strongly affected by this dependence, which has to be corrected by post-acquisition normalization. Here is presented NORMA, an original software package developed using OPUS macros and VB scripts, which automates this procedure for data acquisition using both the interferometer and the microscope.

description: We propose an accelerator physics experiment in DAFNE to prove the regime of bunch length modulation in storage rings, which has never been tested before in any existing accelerator. The result of the experiment can be of great interest for the future colliders and for the synchrotron light sources. The concept has been developed at the Divisione Acceleratori in the framework of super-factory studies. Collaborations with international groups interested in the experiment have been set-up.

description: The four-dimensional effective action for D5-branes in generic compact Calabi-Yau orientifolds is computed by performing a Kaluza-Klein reduction. The N=1 Kaehler potential, the superpotential, the gauge-kinetic coupling function and the D-terms are derived in terms of the geometric data of the internal space and of the two-cycle wrapped by the D5-brane. In particular, we obtain the D5-brane and flux superpotential by integrating out four-dimensional three-forms which couple via the Chern-Simons action. Also the infinitesimal complex structure deformations of the two-cycle induced by the deformations of the ambient space contribute to the F-terms. The superpotential can be expressed in terms of relative periods depending on both the open and closed moduli. To analyze this dependence we blow up along the two-cycle and obtain a rigid divisor in an auxiliary compact threefold with negative first Chern class. The variation of the mixed Hodge structure on this blown-up geometry is equivalent to the original deformation problem and can be analyzed by Picard-Fuchs equations. We exemplify the blow-up procedure for a non-compact Calabi-Yau threefold given by the canonical bundle over del Pezzo surfaces.

description: The Geant4 Simulation Toolkit provides an ample set of physics models describing electromagnetic interactions of particles with matter. This paper presents the results of a series of comparisons for the evaluation of Geant4 electromagnetic processes with respect to NIST reference data. A statistical analysis was performed to estimate quantitatively the compatibility of Geant4 electromagnetic models with NIST data; the statistical analysis also highlighted the respective strengths of the different Geant4 models

description: Tetrahedron coordinated sphalerite quaternary systems of type  A_1-xB_xY_yZ_1-y  consist exclusively of binary and ternary elemental tetrahedra, four of the first and four of the latter, each one with three configurations, i.e., a total of sixteen elemental tetrahedron configurations. These configurations cannot contain all four constituent atoms simultaneously in the same elemental tetrahedron; as a consequence we can consider each ternary tetrahedron composition as diluted in the quaternary compound. Thus,  A_1-xB_xY_yZ_1-y  extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data can be treated by using the strained tetrahedron model which, originally developed to deal with ternary systems, has already exhibited excellent agreement with numerous experimental data. To determine ion site occupation preferences of quaternary systems, we applied this model to our EXAFS data for Cd1-xMnxSeyTe1-y and to GaxIn1-xAsySb1-y data available in the literature, and compared them to those derived from ternary data for Cd1-xMnxTe and GaxIn1-xAs. In both sets, as the ternary is diluted in the quaternary system, a drift of the preference values of the pure ternary is observed. The present analysis of experimental reflectivity far infrared (FIR) phonon spectra of quaternary Cd1_1-xMn_xSe_yTe_1-y crystals confirms the model predictions and leads to an interpretation of the experimental data for  A_1-xB_xY_yZ_1-y  quaternary systems

description: Deutschland 2005 - Kunde aus einem Land, in dem traditionell eher die dunklen als die hellen Seiten thematisiert werden. Fünf Millionen registrierte Arbeitslose, Regierende, die die Bodenhaftung zu Bevölkerung und Partei verlieren, neoliberale Sozialdemokraten und sozialdemokratische Christdemokraten, vor Gewinn berstende Wirtschaftsunternehmen, die zur Verbesserung der Kostenstruktur weiterhin jeweils Tausende Arbeitskräfte entlassen, eine Presse, die so embedded ist, daß sie die beschönigende Wortwahl der Unternehmen für Entlassung, die "Freistellung", übernimmt: freilich ein Land mit Grund zu Besinnung und Umkehr. Damit aber nicht genug: eine Regierungspartei, die aus mangelndem innerparteilichem Rückhalt Neuwahlen einleitet, die für sie schlicht russisches Roulette sind, und schließlich Politiker, die den Wahlausgang allen medialen Ernstes wie folgt kommentieren: "Der Wähler hat uns vor eine sehr schwer lösbare Aufgabe gestellt" — und das wohlgemerkt in einer Situation, in der sage und schreibe drei Koalitionen mit breiter rechnerischer Mehrheit möglich gewesen wären: Rotgrünrot, Schwarzgelbgrün, Schwarzrot. Daß dann mit der großen Koalition eine Variante gewählt wurde, die in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bereits einmal zu den bisher größten innenpolitischen Verwerfungen geführt hatte, wurde mit der Argumentation verkauft, nur eine sehr breite Mehrheit könne die Kraft für die notwendigen tiefgreifenden Änderungen in Deutschland aufbringen. Die tiefgreifenden Änderungen aber gehen heute nicht mehr von der Politik aus, sondern von der Wirtschaft. Diese gibt, um in der Globalität und vor den Aktionären gute Figur zu machen, die Rahmenbedingungen vor, die früher das Primat der Politik waren. Und wo noch staatliche, gewachsene Strukturen von sozialer Marktwirtschaft existieren, werden sie mit schöner Regelmäßigkeit als der eigentliche Grund ausgegeben, weswegen die deutsche Wirtschaft nicht mehr wettbewerbsfähig sein und demzufolge naturgemäß auch die Arbeitslosigkeit nicht wirklich abgebaut werden könne. Seltsamerweise scheint die Politik selbst in dieser bedrängten Situation weder auf das Prinzip cartes sur table noch auf die Klugheit der Bevölkerung zu setzen.
