title: Effekte von Fusionen
Creators: name: Müllbacher, Sandra
Year: 2007

description: Seit September 1990 untersucht die Europäische Kommission Zusammenschlüsse großer Unternehmen im Zuge der EG-Fusionskontrollverordnung. Das Entstehen - beziehungsweise das Verstärken - marktbeherrschender Stellungen soll durch diese Kontrolle und die getroffenen Entscheidungen - Genehmigungen, Genehmigungen mit Auflagen und Untersagungen - verhindert werden. In dieser Arbeit werden anhand von Firmenbilanzdaten die Effekte derjenigen Zusammenschlüsse berechnet, die von der Europäischen Kommission genehmigt oder unter Auflagen genehmigt wurden. Ob diese Genehmigungen „richtig“ waren – keine marktmachtfördernde Fusion genehmigt wurde -, soll beantwortet werden, wobei auf firmen- und fusionsimmanente Charakteristika Rücksicht genommen wird. Die durchschnittliche Fusion im verwendeten Datensatz ist nicht profitabel bezüglich Gewinne, jedoch erfolgreich hinsichtlich der Umsatzentwicklung. Betrachtet man Gewinne und Umsätze zusammen entdeckt man, für Genehmigungen mit wie ohne Auflagen, dass profitable Fusionen eher auf Effizienz- als auf Marktmachtsteigerungen zurückzuführen sind. Angesichts der profitablen Fusionen wurde demnach mehrheitlich die richtige Entscheidung von Seiten der Kommission getroffen. Jedoch muss auch beachtet werden, dass in fast jeder untersuchten Untergruppe die größte Anzahl der Fusionen effizienzmindernd ist. Derartige Fusionen zu verhindern ist zwar nicht festgeschriebenes Ziel der Fusionskontrollverordnung, die Auswirkungen dieser Zusammenschlüsse auf die Gesamtwohlfahrt sind jedoch nicht günstig.
description: In September 1990 the European Communities Merger Regulation came into force. Since then the European Commission has scrutinized – and cleared, cleared under commitments or blocked - mergers undertaken by large companies. The regulation’s aim lies in the prevention of market dominating positions. The present work calculates - by means of balance sheet data - the effects of mergers supervised by the Commission. Whether the “right” mergers were cleared and whether there are significant differences in the effects of mergers cleared with and without remedies is brought to light. Within the used database the average merger is not profitable, whereas sales tend to increase. Examining sales and profits together indicates mergers being more likely profitable out of efficiency increases than of gains in market power. This is true for clearances as for decisions under commitments. Hence, concerning profitable mergers a right decision was taken by the European Commission. However, the greater part of mergers is not profitable and results in efficiency decreases. Although it is not the outright aim of the Merger Regulation to prevent such mergers, these are not supporting total welfare.

description: The onerous media sharing task prompts resource-constrained media owners to seek help from a cloud platform, i.e., storing media contents in the cloud and letting the cloud do the sharing. There are three key security/privacy problems that need to be solved in the cloud media sharing scenario, including data privacy leakage and access control in the cloud, infringement on the owner's copyright, and infringement on the user's rights. In view of the fact that no single technique can solve the above three problems simultaneously, two cloud media sharing schemes are proposed in this paper, named FairCMS-I and FairCMS-II. By cleverly utilizing the proxy re-encryption technique and the asymmetric fingerprinting technique, FairCMS-I and FairCMS-II solve the above three problems with different privacy/efficiency trade-offs. Among them, FairCMS-I focuses more on cloud-side efficiency while FairCMS-II focuses more on the security of the media content, which provides owners with flexibility of choice. In addition, FairCMS-I and FairCMS-II also have advantages over existing cloud media sharing efforts in terms of optional IND-CPA (indistinguishability under chosen-plaintext attack) security and high cloud-side efficiency, as well as exemption from needing a trusted third party. Furthermore, FairCMS-I and FairCMS-II allow owners to reap significant local resource savings and thus can be seen as the privacy-preserving outsourcing of asymmetric fingerprinting. Finally, the feasibility and efficiency of FairCMS-I and FairCMS-II are demonstrated by experiments.

description: This paper deals with a two-person zero-sum differential game for a dynamical system described by a Caputo fractional differential equation of order $α\in (0, 1)$ and a Bolza cost functional. The differential game is associated to the Cauchy problem for the path-dependent Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman--Isaacs equation with so-called fractional coinvariant derivatives of the order $α$ and the corresponding right-end boundary condition. A notion of a viscosity solution of the Cauchy problem is introduced, and the value functional of the differential game is characterized as a unique viscosity solution of this problem.

description: Abstract

Corporate governance is considered an essential basis for ensuring the quality of banking services and combating financial and administrative corruption. In banks and financial institutions, corporate governance plays a vital role in defining and implementing practices and policies aimed at ensuring transparency, accountability and integrity. The research demonstrates the role of corporate governance in enhancing the quality of banking services and combating financial and administrative corruption in banks and financial institutions. Corporate governance is essential for building trust and transparency between customers and financial institutions, and contributes to enhancing confidence and stability in the financial system. The research aims to explore how the application of corporate governance principles affects the quality of banking services and reduces financial and administrative corruption. Activating the principles of corporate governance in Iraqi banks is considered essential to ensure the sustainability of the financial system and achieve economic stability, which contributes to enhancing economic growth and achieving sustainable development. The study indicates the importance of understanding the relationship between corporate governance and the quality of banking services to enhance confidence and stability in the financial system and achieve sustainable development. The importance of improving the quality of financial services, enhancing transparency and disclosure in accounting policies, and analyzing financial opportunities and risks as a means of supporting sustainable development is highlighted. Based on these results, accounting disclosure policies and analysis of financial opportunities and risks can be effective tools in achieving sustainable development. By analyzing the results, it is clear that banking transparency contributes to enhancing financial inclusion, but the effect may not be significantly significant. It also shows that the level of financial inclusion in banks can contribute to increasing sustainable development, but in an insignificant way, and thus the focus must be on expanding the range of financial services available to society.

description: One can fix the randomness used by a randomized algorithm, but there is no analogous notion of fixing the quantumness used by a quantum algorithm. Underscoring this fundamental difference, we show that, in the black-box setting, the behavior of quantum polynomial-time ($\mathsf{BQP}$) can be remarkably decoupled from that of classical complexity classes like $\mathsf{NP}$. Specifically:
 -There exists an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{NP^{BQP}}\not\subset\mathsf{BQP^{PH}}$, resolving a 2005 problem of Fortnow. As a corollary, there exists an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{P}=\mathsf{NP}$ but $\mathsf{BQP}\neq\mathsf{QCMA}$.
 -Conversely, there exists an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{BQP^{NP}}\not\subset\mathsf{PH^{BQP}}$.
 -Relative to a random oracle, $\mathsf{PP}=\mathsf{PostBQP}$ is not contained in the "$\mathsf{QMA}$ hierarchy" $\mathsf{QMA}^{\mathsf{QMA}^{\mathsf{QMA}^{\cdots}}}$.
 -Relative to a random oracle, $\mathsfΣ_{k+1}^\mathsf{P}\not\subset\mathsf{BQP}^{\mathsfΣ_{k}^\mathsf{P}}$ for every $k$.
 -There exists an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{BQP}=\mathsf{P^{\# P}}$ and yet $\mathsf{PH}$ is infinite.
 -There exists an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{P}=\mathsf{NP}\neq\mathsf{BQP}=\mathsf{P^{\# P}}$.
 To achieve these results, we build on the 2018 achievement by Raz and Tal of an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{BQP}\not \subset \mathsf{PH}$, and associated results about the Forrelation problem. We also introduce new tools that might be of independent interest. These include a "quantum-aware" version of the random restriction method, a concentration theorem for the block sensitivity of $\mathsf{AC^0}$ circuits, and a (provable) analogue of the Aaronson-Ambainis Conjecture for sparse oracles.

description: Galaxy sizes correlate closely with the sizes of their parent dark matter haloes, suggesting a link between halo formation and galaxy growth. However, the precise nature of this relation and its scatter remains to be understood fully, especially for low-mass galaxies. We analyse the galaxy-halo size relation for low-mass ($M_\star \sim 10^{7-9} {\rm M_\odot}$) central galaxies over the past 12.5 billion years with the help of cosmological volume simulations (FIREbox) from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project. We find a nearly linear relationship between the half-stellar mass galaxy size $R_{1/2}$ and the parent dark matter halo virial radius $R_{\rm vir}$. This relation evolves only weakly since redshift $z = 5$: $R_{1/2} {\rm kpc} = (0.053\pm0.002)(R_{\rm vir}/35 {\rm kpc})^{0.934\pm0.054}$, with a nearly constant scatter $\langle σ\rangle = 0.084 [{\rm dex}]$. Whilst this ratio is similar to what is expected from models where galaxy disc sizes are set by halo angular momentum, the low-mass galaxies in our sample are not angular momentum supported, with stellar rotational to circular velocity ratios $v_{\rm rot} / v_{\rm circ} \sim 0.15$. Introducing redshift as another parameter to the GHSR does not decrease the scatter. Furthermore, this scatter does not correlate with any of the halo properties we investigate -- including spin and concentration -- suggesting that baryonic processes and feedback physics are instead critical in setting the scatter in the galaxy-halo size relation. Given the relatively small scatter and the weak dependence of the galaxy-halo size relation on redshift and halo properties for these low-mass central galaxies, we propose using galaxy sizes as an independent method from stellar masses to infer halo masses.

description: This thesis studies error-correction codes for making synthetic DNA robust to errors in nanopore DNA sequencers. The nanopore sequencer reads DNA by generating signals, but it cannot control the speed at which DNA moves through it, leading to noisy signals with random stretches. This noise makes it difficult to read data stored in DNA reliably. The coding efficiency of an idealised nanopore sequencer is studied, and efficient codes are studied to make DNA storage reliable and practical.

description: A controlled branching process (CBP) is a modification of the standard Bienaymé-Galton-Watson process in which the number of progenitors in each generation is determined by a random mechanism. We consider a CBP starting from a random number of initial individuals. The main aim of this paper is to provide a Feller diffusion approximation for critical CBPs. A similar result by considering a fixed number of initial individuals by using operator semigroup convergence theorems has been previously proved in Sriram at al. (2007). An alternative proof is now provided making use of limit theorems for {random step processes}.

description: Diese Arbeit hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, Managementempfehlungen für die Kommunikationspolitik und das Relationship Management von Unternehmen zu entwickeln, um unternehmensexterne Innovationsquellen, genauer gesagt Hochschulen, erfolgreich in die unternehmenseigenen Innovationsprozesse integrieren zu können. Das Kernstück der Arbeit bildet ein Kommunikationskonzept, mit dessen Hilfe Hochschulen zu FuE-Kooperationen mit einem zentralen Unternehmen, in diesem Fall Mondi BP, bewegt werden sollen. Das Konzept umfasst neben der Definition der Zielgruppen und der anvisierten Ziele, die Positionierung Mondi BPs gegenüber den Zielpersonen, die Planung der einzusetzenden Kommunikationsinstrumente sowie Maßnahmen zur Erfolgskontrolle. Um der wachsenden Informationsüberflutung der Zielgruppe entgegen zu wirken, wurde das gesamte Konzept im Sinne einer integrierten Kommunikation erstellt. Damit das Kommunikationskonzept auch so effektiv wie möglich ist, wurde es genau auf die Charakteristika der Zielgruppe abgestimmt. Dafür wurden Entscheidungsträger in der universitären FuE einer empirischen Befragung unterzogen. Im Rahmen der empirischen Untersuchung wurden die Motive, die bisherigen Erfahrungen, die Erwartungen und Bedenken sowie das Kommunikationsverhalten der Zielpersonen analysiert. Die Resultate des empirischen Teils flossen auch in die Entwicklung von Managementempfehlungen für das Relationship Management ein. Diese Gestaltungs- und Handlungsempfehlungen sollen eine erfolgreiche und effiziente Kooperationsatmosphäre zwischen den Innovationspartnern ermöglichen.
Habitat, home range, and population study of the eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina)
Creators: name: Hallgren-Scaffidi, Lynette
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 1986

description: This study covers the home range, population size, habitat type and components of habitat of the eastern box turtle, Terrapene carolina. The study area was within the floodplains of the Patuxent River on the grounds of Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland. A home range and population study was conducted by Lucille Stickel in 1945 within the same study-area and provided a basis for comparative analysis including information on population trends. Mark-recapture data and a tread-trailer device were used to estimate populations, trace the daily route of eleven individual turtles, and home range size. The range length and convex polygon methods were used to calculate home range size. The average box turtles home range as calculated by the range length method was .733 hectares. In addition the average area calculated by the convex polygon method is .955 hectares for the thread-trailer technique. These home range estimates depict a small reduction in range size from Stickels original estimates Forest maturation is proposed as one of the primary factors influencing this reduction of range size. The population size of the box turtle within the study-area was ascertained by mark-recapture techniques. Using the Schnabel Method of estimating population size, an average of 8.62 (8.30 for 1984; 8.92 for 1985) turtles per hectare was determined. The total number of turtles found during the 1985 study season (58) in comparison to the total number found during the 1945 study season (284) demonstrates the declining population of the Patuxent box turtles over the las t four decades. The largest population of box turtles were found in forest habitat s or forest-field ecotones. Determination of box turtles preference for habitat types and components of habitat was emphasized in this study. Two habitat types, 'dried streambeds' and 'woods opening', encompassed the smallest areas of the study site while providing habitat for the greatest number of turtles. In addition many turtles showed preference for two components of habitats (out in the open and under a log). However, because it is easier to locate turtles out in the open, it is proposed here that the large number of turtles found in this Component of Habitat is due to bias surveying technique s and not a preference for turtles. The results also provide information for improving box turtle habitat within parklands. Changes to the study-area and surrounding ecosystems have occurred over the pa s t four decades. The fore s t has matured, upstream waters have been impounded by dams, filtration plants built and increased pollution of the Patuxent River have occurred. The decline in box turtle abundance is probably due to the frequent floods that inundate turtle eggs when upstream dams are opened.

description: /Objectives/:

To introduce a multi-site assessment of oral health literacy and to describe preliminary analyses of the relationships between health literacy and selected oral health outcomes within the context of a comprehensive conceptual model.

/Methods/:

Data for this analysis came from the Multi-Site Oral Health Literacy Research Study (MOHLRS), a federally-funded investigation of health literacy and oral health. MOHLRS consisted of a broad survey, including several health literacy assessments, and measures of attitudes, knowledge, and other factors. The survey was administered to 922 initial care-seeking adult patients presenting to university-based dental clinics in California and Maryland. For this descriptive analysis, confidence filling out forms, word recognition, and reading comprehension comprised the health literacy assessments. Dental visits, oral health functioning, and dental self-efficacy were the outcomes.

/Results/:

Overall, up to 21% of participants reported having difficulties with practical health literacy tasks. After controlling for sociodemographic confounders, no health literacy assessment was associated with dental visits or dental caries self-efficacy. However, confidence filling out forms and word recognition were each associated with oral health functioning and periodontal disease self-efficacy.

/Conclusions/:

Our analysis showed that dental school patients exhibit a range of health literacy abilities. It also revealed that the relationship between health literacy and oral health is not straightforward, depending on patient characteristics and the unique circumstances of the encounter. We anticipate future analyses of MOHLRS data will answer questions about the role that health literacy and various mediating factors play in explaining oral health disparities.
Reporting Laos: The U.S. Media and the "Secret" War in Laos: 1955-1975
Creators: name: Dickey, Angela Renee
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland

description: From 1955-1975 the United States Government was involved in covert paramilitary efforts in Laos. Congress did not approve the Laos conflict, which pitted tens of thousands of American-hired ethnic mercenaries against the North Vietnamese army and featured a massive bombing campaign by U. S. aircraft. Yet approximately 500 Americans were killed or disappeared in Laos during the period, and hundreds of millions of U. S. taxpayer dollars were expended on the covert war. Up to 200,000 Lao civilians were killed in the fighting. Meanwhile, policy makers were able to keep secret the main details of American operations in Laos until late 1969. How they did so without being challenged seriously by the mainstream American media is the subject of this study. The thesis incorporates relevant secondary sources as well as interviews with more than 30 personalities associated with the war or the American media coverage. It concludes that the press corps did not begin to focus on the actual situation in Laos until very late, when the U.S. public began to demand an end to the Indochina conflict in general. Moreover, U.S. journalism was hampered in Laos by its own "professional routines," including an overwhelming dependence on U.S. Government sources to provide the "news."

description: The American Geographical Society (AGS) conducted a nationwide survey of public
attitudes toward and knowledge about geography. The survey ran online from December 12,
2011 through March 31, 2012 with volunteers constantly soliciting adult U.S. residents to
participate. The AGS Geographic Knowledge and Values Survey received 4,021 valid responses
from people throughout the United States. While not a true random sample, the results are
indicative of a sizable segment of the U. S. population: more educated, more female, and less
ethnically and racially diverse than the general population.
Soil- and Foliar-Applied Silicon and Nitrogen Supply Affect Nutrient Uptake, Allocation, and Stoichiometry in Arabica Coffee Plants

description: Silicon (Si) application may affect the plant response to nitrogen (N), possibly by changing the uptake, concentration, and partitioning of nutrients in plant tissues; however, this has not yet been proven in Arabica coffee plants. The effects of Si application methods [no Si, soil-applied soluble Si (168 mg Si L−1), and foliar-applied soluble Si (two application of 2 mg Si plant−1)] and N levels (0 and 80 mg N L−1) on biomass production and partitioning and uptake, partitioning, and stoichiometry of nutrients and Si in young Arabica coffee plants grown under greenhouse conditions were evaluated. Nitrogen fertilization increased the biomass production and uptake of all nutrients; however, reduced the concentrations of K, Ca, Mg, S, Mn, and Si in the leaves, Si in the stems, and K, Mg, and S in the roots of coffee plants as a dilution effect. In the presence of N, soil-applied Si increased the concentrations of Zn in the leaves and Ca and Si in the stems, the uptake of K, S, and Si, and the Si:N ratio. Foliar-applied Si increased the concentrations of N, P, K, and Zn in the leaves and Ca and Si in the stems, as well as the total uptake of K and Si and the Si:N ratio in coffee plants, being more evident in the N fertilization presence. This study unraveled that, especially when it was soil-applied, Si altered the nutrient uptake, allocation, and stoichiometric ratios with N, with a consequent increase in biomass production of young coffee plants fertilized with N.

description: Researchers in many fields, such as demography, economics, and sociology, have
established various data collection methodologies and principles to answer a range of
academic and policy questions on migration. Although the progress has been impressive,
some basic challenges remain. This paper addresses some basic, yet fundamental,
questions on identification of international migrants and how their various demographic,
personal, and human capital characteristics are captured via different data sources. The
critical issues are the construction of proper sampling frames in censuses, registers, and
surveys and the design of questionnaires in household, labor market, and other relevant
surveys. The paper discusses how these data sources can be used to answer policy
questions in areas such as labor markets, education, or poverty. The focus is on how some
of the existing shortcomings in availability, quality, and relevance of migration data can be
overcome via improvements in data collection methods.

Temminck’s Mysterious Bat
Nycticeius aenobarbus
French: Nycticée a barbe rousse / German: Temminck-Neuweltabendsegler / Spanish: Nicticeo de barba roja
Taxonomy. Vespertilio aenobarbus Temminck, 1840,
“I’Amérique méridionale.”
Nycticerus aenobarbus was originally placed in Vespertilio and later considered a synonym of Myotis albescens. Nevertheless, the type specimen was considered specifically and generically distinct and later placed in Nycticerus. Status of Temminck’s Mysterious Batis still uncertain, and dubious type locality could directly influenceits systematic status. If type material is from the Old World, N. aenobarbus could be related to Scotoecus, Scotorepens, or Scoteanax. Monotypic.
Distribution. Unknown; according to type locality, it occurs in South America, but this information is dubious.
Descriptive notes. Head-body ¢. 37 mm,tail ¢. 20 mm, forearm 29 mm. Wingspan is c. 166 mm and tibia length is 11- 3 mm. Temminck’s Mysterious Bat is much smaller than pipistrelle bats from Europe. Dorsal pelage is long, with reddish brown tips and blackish bases. Ventral pelage is pure white near genitals and whitish on chest; remaining regions are russet, with blackish bases. Face is reddish. Muzzle is short. Ears are as wide as high and have rounded tips. Tragusis broad and abruptly rounded. There are two pairs of upper incisors and three pairs of lower incisors, and I and I, are slightly smaller than L..
Habitat. No information.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. Basic research on distribution, ecology, and natural history of Temminck’s Mysterious Bat is needed to understand its conservation status.
