description: A reliable description of surfaces structures in a reactive environment is crucial to understand materials functions. We present a first-principles theory of replica-exchange grand-canonical-ensemble molecular dynamics (REGC-MD) and apply it to evaluate phase equilibria of surfaces in reactive gas-phase environment. We identify the different surface phases and locate phase boundaries including triple and critical points. The approach is demonstrated by addressing open questions for the Si(100) surface in contact with a hydrogen atmosphere. In the range from 300 to 1 000 K, we find 25 distinct thermodynamically stable surface phases, for which we also provide microscopic descriptions. Most of the identified phases, including few order-disorder phase transitions, have not yet been observed experimentally. The REGC-MD-derived phase diagram shows significant, qualitative differences to the description by the state-of-the-art "ab initio atomistic thermodynamics" approach.

description: In this work, we present a collection of three-dimensional higher-order symmetry protected topological phases (HOSPTs) with gapless hinge modes that exist only in strongly interacting systems subject to subsystem symmetry constraints. We use a coupled wire construction to generate three families of microscopic lattice models: insulators with helical hinge modes, superconductors with chiral Majorana hinge modes, and fractionalized insulators with helical hinge modes that carry fractional charge. In particular, these HOSPTs do not require spatial symmetry protection, but are instead protected by subsystem symmetries, and support "fractonic" quasiparticle excitations that move within only a low-dimensional sub-manifold of the system. We analyze the anomaly structure for the boundary theory and the entanglement Hamiltonian, and show that the side surfaces of these HOSPTs, despite being partially gapped, exhibit symmetry anomalies, and can only be realized as the boundary of three-dimensional HOSPT phases.

description: The post-Newtonian dynamics of black hole binaries in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories of gravity depends on the so-called "sensitivities", quantities which characterize a black hole's adiabatic response to the time-dependent scalar field environment sourced by its companion. In this work, we calculate numerically the sensitivities of nonrotating black holes, including spontaneously scalarized ones, in three classes of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity: the shift-symmetric, dilatonic and Gaussian theories. When possible, we compare our results against perturbative analytical results, finding excellent agreement. Unlike their general relativistic counterparts, black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity only exist in a restricted parameter space controlled by the theory's coupling constant. A preliminary study of the role played by the sensitivities in black hole binaries suggests that, in principle, black holes can be driven outside of their domain of existence during the inspiral, for binary parameters which we determine.

description: In the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model, we study the interplay between current and future neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay experiments, long-lived particle searches at the LHC main detectors ATLAS/CMS, and the proposed far detector MATHUSLA. The heavy Majorana neutrino can be produced in association with an electron from the decay of $W$ boson for a non-zero left-right mixing and subsequently decays into another electron with the same charge and jets. Owing to the suppression of large right-handed charged gauge boson $W_R$ mass, the heavy neutrinos could be long-lived. We show that long-lived particle (LLP) searches for heavy Majorana neutrinos in the same-sign dilepton channel at the LHC can be used to extend $W_R$ boson mass reach relative to the reach of the Keung-Senjanovic (KS) process. Finally, we show that sensitivities of LLP searches at the high-luminosity LHC with main detectors ATLAS/CMS are competitive with those of future $0νββ$ decay searches.

description: A study of the development of foreign policy in any nation always reveals certain basic factors and traditional principles which are determined by geographical, political, and economic influences. I wish to demonstrate, through a study of the factors which may determine the Italian foreign policy, what has been the contribution of Fascist Italy to the maintenance of equilibrium and peace in Europe; how her policy has had a continuous, progressive development, animated by the best purposes, and directed toward the reconstruction of a world torn asunder by the Great War; how the Fascist movement has tried to inaugurate a period of autonomous and dignified conduct of foreign relations by considering from a dynamic point of view the various agents of the international situation. It is impossible now, under the pressure of the facts, to judge the situation from a strictly scientific point of view. Thus I have confined myself to an exposition of the Italian attitude towards the various problems, believing that there is a contribution towards international understanding in such a consistent presentation. This is possible when one man speaks for a nation. A similar presentation of the attitude of a democratic nation such as England would be more difficult, for then one if forced to interpret the opinion of certain statesmen as the attitude of the government or the permanent foreign policy of the State, although its motivation may be quite other than that of the people as a whole.

description: The increasing popularity of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology for location-based services, such as access control and real-time indoor track&tracing, as well as UWB support in new consumer devices such as smartphones, has resulted in the availability of multiple new UWB radio chips. However, due to this increase in UWB device availability, the question of which (industry) standards and configuration factors impact UWB interoperability and compatibility becomes increasingly important. In this paper, the fundamentals of UWB compatibility are investigated by first giving an overview of different UWB radio chips on the market. After that, an overview of UWB standards and organizations is given. Next, this overview is used to discuss the focus of these different standards and to identify the differences between them. We describe compatibility issues and associated interoperability aspects related to physical (PHY), medium-access-control (MAC) and upper layers. For the PHY layer, compatibility is possible for all UWB radio chips if the correct settings are configured. For the MAC layer, the implementation of the multiple access scheme as well as the localization technique is mostly proprietary. For the device discovery, several standards are currently being drafted. Finally, future challenges related to UWB interoperability are discussed.

description: A classical scenario suggests that ULIRGs transform colliding spiral galaxies into a spheroid dominated early-type galaxy. Recent high-resolution simulations have instead shown that, under some circumstances, rotation disks can be preserved during the merging process or rapidly regrown after coalescence. Our goal is to analyze in detail the ionised gas kinematics in a sample of ULIRGs to infer the incidence of gas rotational dynamics in late-stage interacting galaxies and merger remnants. We analysed MUSE data of a sample of 20 nearby (z<0.165) ULIRGs, as part of the "Physics of ULIRGs with MUSE and ALMA" (PUMA) project. We found that 27% individual nuclei are associated with kpc-scale disk-like gas motions. The rest of the sample displays a plethora of gas kinematics, dominated by winds and merger-induced flows, which make the detection of rotation signatures difficult. On the other hand, the incidence of stellar disk-like motions is ~2 times larger than gaseous disks, as the former are probably less affected by winds and streams. The eight galaxies with a gaseous disk present relatively high intrinsic gas velocity dispersion (sigma = 30-85 km/s), rotationally-supported motions (with gas rotation velocity over velocity dispersion vrot/sigma > 1-8), and dynamical masses in the range (2-7)x1e10 Msun. By combining our results with those of local and high-z disk galaxies from the literature, we found a significant correlation between sigma and the offset from the main sequence (MS), after correcting for their evolutionary trends. Our results confirm the presence of kpc-scale rotating disks in interacting galaxies and merger remnants, with an incidence going from 27% (gas) to ~50% (stars). The ULIRGs gas velocity dispersion is up to a factor of ~4 higher than in local normal MS galaxies, similar to high-z starbursts as presented in the literature.

description: We present a theoretical and computational framework based on fractional calculus for the analysis of the nonlocal static response of cylindrical shell panels. The differ-integral nature of fractional derivatives allows an efficient and accurate methodology to account for the effect of long-range (nonlocal) interactions in curved structures. More specifically, the use of frame-invariant fractional-order kinematic relations enables a physically, mathematically, and thermodynamically consistent formulation to model the nonlocal elastic interactions. In order to evaluate the response of these nonlocal shells under practical scenarios involving generalized loads and boundary conditions, the fractional-Finite Element Method (f-FEM) is extended to incorporate shell elements based on the first-order shear-deformable displacement theory. Finally, numerical studies are performed exploring both the linear and the geometrically nonlinear static response of nonlocal cylindrical shell panels. This study is intended to provide a general foundation to investigate the nonlocal behavior of curved structures by means of fractional order models.

description: We discuss quantum entanglement between fast and slow degrees of freedom, in a two dimensional (2D) large $N_c$ gauge theory with Dirac quarks, quantized on the light front. Using the 't Hooft wave functions, we construct the reduced density matrix for an interval in the momentum fraction $x$-space, and calculate its von Neumann entropy in terms of structure functions, that are measured by DIS on mesons (hadrons in general). We found that the entropy is bounded by an area law with logarithmic divergences, proportional to the rapidity of the meson. The evolution of the entanglement entropy with rapidity, is fixed by the cumulative singlet PDF, and bounded from above by a Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of 1. At low-$x$, the entanglement exhibits an asymptotic expansion, similar to the forward meson-meson scattering amplitude in the Regge limit. The evolution of the entanglement entropy in parton-$x$ per unit rapidity, measures the meson singlet PDF. The re-summed entanglement entropy along the single meson Regge trajectory, is string-like. We suggest that its extension to multi-meson states, models DIS scattering on a large 2D $^\prime$nucleus$^\prime$. The result, is a large rate of change of the entanglement entropy with rapidity, that matches the current Bekenstein-Bremermann bound for maximum quantum information flow. This mechanism may be at the origin of the large entropy deposition and rapid thermalization, reported in current heavy ion colliders, and may extend to future electron-ion colliders.

description: A positive rate of entropy production at steady state is a distinctive feature of truly non-equilibrium processes. Exact results, while being often limited to simple models, offer a unique opportunity to explore the thermodynamic features of these processes in full details. Here we derive analytical results for the steady-state rate of entropy production in single particle systems driven away from equilibrium by the fluctuations of an external potential of arbitrary shapes. Subsequently, we provide exact results for a diffusive particle in a harmonic trap whose potential stiffness varies in time according to both discrete and continuous Markov processes. In particular, studying the case of a fully intermittent potential allows us to introduce an effective model of stochastic resetting for which it is possible to obtain finite non-negative entropy production. Altogether, this work lays the foundation for a non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory of fluctuating potentials, with immediate applications to stochastic resetting processes, fluctuations in optical traps and fluctuating interactions in living systems.

description: Resumen

Neisseria meningitidis es el principal agente productor de meningitis y septicemia en la infancia. Desde la aparición de la vacuna conjugada antimeningocócica frente a los serogrupos A y C, el meningococo B es el más frecuentemente aislado en muestras clínicas. Todas las especies de Neisseria presentan antígenos comunes no capsulados de superficie, que podrían dar lugar a reacciones inmunes cruzadas entre ellas. Este hecho es bien conocido entre Neisseria lactamica y Neisseria meningitidis. Aunque la clínica de la infección es generalmente grave, con alta morbi-mortalidad, la formación de anticuerpos anti Neisseria lactamica en pacientes colonizados tendría un efecto protector frente a la infección por meningococo, y sería responsables de la variabilidad de los síntomas. Presentamos el caso de una bacteriemia por meningococo B, cuya clínica fue de trombopenia transitoria, en un paciente sano y correctamente vacunado según el calendario vacunal de su Comunidad Autónoma. Era portador faríngeo de Neisseria lactamica pero no de Neisseria meningitidis.

description: Resumo

A importância da formação em Oncologia Pediátrica durante o Internato Complementar é indiscutível. O cancro é actualmente a segunda causa de morte após os dois anos de vida. A referenciação atempada permite a melhoria do prognóstico, tanto vital como funcional. No entanto, numerosos doentes são ainda referenciados tardiamente em muitas áreas oncológicas.

A formação em Oncologia Pediátrica, por razões estruturais e organizativas, é dificilmente realizada em Portugal durante a frequência de outros estágios, tais como de Pediatria Geral.

È igualmente de referir que a Oncologia Pediátrica tem áreas específicas que contribuem para melhorar a abordagem global do Pediatra Geral tais como o contacto com doentes terminais, a pesquisa incessante de medicina baseada na evidência, a polifarmacologia, a infecção no doente imunocomprometido, a nutrição, os distúrbios electrolíticos, a abordagem da dor, a gestão do doente complexo fora do contexto de cuidados intensivos, os efeitos a longo prazo da terapêutica e a qualidade de vida da criança.

Se no Internato for dada prioridade absoluta à vertente de formação tendo os estágios objectivos claros e a serem respeitados, é indiscutível que a Oncologia Pediátrica é um estágio fundamental para a formação no Interno Complementar, não só para evitar um retrocesso na Saúde Pública mas também para complementar e aprofundar a formação de Pediatria Geral.

description: The use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations has led to promising results to unravel the atomistic origins of adhesive wear, and in particular for the onset of wear at nanoscale surface asperities. However, MD simulations come with a high computational cost and offer access to only a narrow window of time and length scales. We propose here to resort to the discrete element method (DEM) to mitigate the computational cost. Using DEM particles with contact and cohesive forces, we reproduce the key mechanisms observed with MD, while having particle diameters and system sizes an order of magnitude higher than with MD. The pairwise forces are tuned to obtain a solid with reasonably approximated elastic and fracture properties. The simulations of single asperity wear performed with MD are successfully reproduced with DEM using a range particle sizes, validating the coarse-graining procedure. More complex simulations should allow the study of wear particles and the evolution of worn surfaces in an adhesive wear context, while reaching scales inaccessible to MD.

description: Defence forces, worldwide, have undergone modernisation while upgrading their weapon system and machinery. But, the most important weapon of defence forces are its human resources and their psychological strength in the face of challenges and adversaries. The aim of positive psychology is to enhance and sustain human psychological well-being. This study aims to explore the path mechanism and expand the current research on the action pathway existing between optimism and psychological well-being among defence personnel. The present research work also explores the mediational role of psychological flexibility (PF) between optimism and psychological well-being (PWB). To explore the relationship, a sample of Indian defence personnel (n=102) was taken. The participants' age ranged from 21 to 58 (M = 43.42, SD = 11.21). Instruments administered on defence personnel in the study were Life Orientation Test – Revised (Scheir, Carver Bridges, 1994), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire – II (Bond et al, 2011) and Ryff’s Psychological well-being scale (Ryff, 1989). Correlational analysis revealed positive and significant correlation between optimism and PWB and negative and significant correlation between optimism and PF as well as PF and PWB. Mediation analysis suggests that PF partially and significantly mediates the relationship between optimism and psychological well-being. PF acted as partial mediator between optimism and all the individual components of PWB except for purpose in life where the results showed negative mediation effect. The mediatory function of PF in relationship between optimism and “autonomy”, “environmental mastery” and “purpose in life” was not significant while relationship between optimism and “personal growth”, “positive relations with others” and “self-acceptance” was significant. Findings extenuate the importance of integrating optimism and psychological flexibility while tailoring interventions to promote psychological well-being among defence personnel.

title: Sprachliche und mathematische Kompetenzen bei der Lösung von Textaufgaben im Kontext von Pflichtschulabschluss und Zweitspracherwerb
Creators: name: Füllekruss, David
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, inwiefern das Lösen mathematischer Textaufgaben sprachliche Kompetenzen erfordert und welches die besonderen sprachlichen Hürden in Textaufgaben im Kontext des Zweitspracherwerbs sind. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird das interdisziplinäre Forschungsfeld beleuchtet und dabei aus sprachdidaktischer, sprachwissenschaftlicher, mathematikdidaktischer sowie erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive die Verbindungen von sprachlichem und fachlichem Lernen im Kontext von Zweitspracherwerb, die sprachlichen Besonderheiten der mathematischen Sprache sowie das Lesen von Textaufgaben im Zweitspracherwerb ausgeführt. Anhand der Analyse unterschiedlicher Textaufgaben und deren Bearbeitung im Rahmen mehrerer durchgeführter Förderstunden mit einer Kursteilnehmerin eines Vorbereitungskurses auf den Pflichtschulabschluss wurden die Schwierigkeiten im Bearbeitungsprozess verortet, sprachwissenschaftlich eingeordnet und hinsichtlich des individuellen Sprachstandes im Deutschen interpretiert. Dabei konnte festgestellt werden, dass vor allem im Leseprozess auf dem Weg zur Konstruktion eines mentalen Situationsmodells Schwierigkeiten aufgetreten sind, die sich in erster Linie auf der Wortebene verorten lassen. Zudem konnte die Analyse zeigen, dass sprachliche und mathematische Kompetenzen stark ineinandergreifen und voneinander abhängen. Trotz der mathematischen Vorkenntnisse der Untersuchungsteilnehmerin waren die sprachlichen Kompetenzen zum Verständnis des Aufgabentextes und der Identifikation der mathematischen Lücke Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Mathematisierung der Aufgaben.
A Scaling Limit for Line and Surface Defects

description: We study symmetry-breaking line defects in the Wilson-Fisher theory with $O(2N+1)$ global symmetry near four dimensions and symmetry-preserving surface defects in a cubic model with $O(2N)$ global symmetry near six dimensions. We introduce a scaling limit inspired by the large charge expansion in Conformal Field Theory. Using this, we compute the beta function for the defect coupling which allows to identify the corresponding Defect Conformal Field Theories. We also compute the correlation function of two parallel defects as well as correlation functions of certain defect operators with large charge under the surviving symmetry.

title: Zwischen Lügenfiktion und Traumbiographie
Creators: name: Donhauser, Marie-Theres
Year: 2017

description: Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Erzähl- und Fiktionstheorie im Zusammenhang mit der Analyse und Wirkung autofiktionaler Texte. Die Texte, die hier im Vordergrund stehen sind Hoppe von Felicitas Hoppe, Das bin doch ich von Thomas Glavinic und Luft und Liebe von Anne Weber. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und Grenzen der Theorien zu erkennen und darzustellen. Ein Ausgangspunkt ist dabei die These, dass es sich bei der Autofiktion um einen Grenzfall der Fiktion handelt und daher die Fiktionstheorien nicht vollständig anwendbar sind. Bei der Analyse zeigte sich, dass die Fiktionstheorien nach Gerard Genette und Dorrit Cohn bei autofiktionalen Texten tatsächlich nur bedingt funktionieren, da ihre Fiktionskriterien dem starken Bezug zur Wirklichkeit in den Texten nicht gerecht werden. Dies liegt vor allem daran, dass sie die Fiktion nur als zweidimensionales Konstrukt erkennen, das einzig zwischen wahr und erfunden unterscheidet. Wolfgang Isers Ansichten zur Fiktion hingegen funktionieren bei der Analyse besser, da Iser das Fingieren als mehrschichtigen Prozess erkennt, der in autofiktionalen Texten deutlich erkennbar ist, da sie von einem starken Bezug zur Realität ausgehen, die durch die Präsenz des Autors im Text verdeutlicht wird. Zur optimalen Rezeption autofiktionaler Texte bietet sich dem Leser der autofiktionale Pakt an, bei dem die Namensgleichheit zwischen dem Autor und einer Figur im Text als gleichgültig hingenommen wird, und die starke Ähnlichkeit mit der Realität als ästhetisches Werkzeug erkannt werden muss.
Holographic Supersolids

description: A supersolid is a system that presents long-range order and shear rigidity as a solid but which also supports a non-dissipative superflow as a superfluid. From an effective perspective, supersolids are identified with phases of matter that break spontaneously translational invariance together with a global $U(1)$ symmetry. By using this symmetry prescription, we build a holographic bottom-up model for supersolids and we start the investigation of its thermodynamic and mechanical properties. More precisely, we analyze the behaviour of the critical temperature, the condensate, the shear modulus and the viscosity across all the phase diagram. Finally, we successfully compare our results with a simple Ginzburg-Landau model for supersolids deriving some universal physical correlations between the observables mentioned above.

Creators: name: Linecker, Sarah Maria
Year: 2017

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es zu berechnen, wie hoch der Anteil an dialektbedingten Fehler in den Deutschschularbeiten von dialektsprechenden Volksschulkindern aus dem Mühlviertel ist. Dafür wurde im ersten Teil der Arbeit ein theoretischer Einblick in die Thematik gegeben, woraufhin im empirischen Teil eine Fehleranalyse durchgeführt wurde. Bei der Erstellung der Fehlerkategorien und der Zuteilung der Fehler wurden das Werk „Bairisch“ aus der Reihe „Dialekt/Hochsprache – kontrastiv“ von Ludwig Zehetner und die Untersuchung von Reitmajer über den Einfluss des Dialekts bei bayrischen SchülerInnen als Basis verwendet. Im Zuge der Arbeit konnte festgestellt werden, dass es äußerst schwierig ist, mit Garantie zu sagen, welche Ursache für die Entstehung von Fehlern verantwortlich ist und welche Rolle der Dialekt dabei spielt. Allerdings deutet der in dieser Arbeit errechnete Fehleranteil nicht darauf hin, dass dialektsprechende Kinder beträchtlich mehr Fehler machen würden als standardsprachliche SchülerInnen.
