description: The 1972-2006 GSS cumulative data file for the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Surveys (GSS) is now available from the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research on CD-ROM. The General Social Survey CD-ROM brings the rich coverage of one of the nation's longest running surveys of social, cultural and political indicators available today right to your desktop. Encompassing 34 years of national survey data in one comprehensive data file, the GSS CD-ROM is the right choice for individual researchers, departmental labs and social science data centers. An SPSS portable system file makes it even more convenient for students and faculty to gain full access to this rich data resource. Students will find the CD-ROM a rich resource for term papers, theses, and dissertations. Teachers can use it in courses that teach social science as an empirical science. The newly released data file contains individual response coding for 51,020 respondents and 5,084 variables. The 2006 GSS follows the biennial, double sample design that was first adopted in 1994. There are eleven topical, mini-modules and two International Social Survey Program (ISSP) modules. The GSS will be switching from a repeating, cross-section design to a combined repeating cross-section and panel-component design. The 2006 GSS will be the base year for the first panel. A sub-sample of 2006 GSS cases (most likely about 2000) will be selected for reinterview in 2008 and again in 2010 as part of the GSSs in those years. The most recent study was conducted under the direction of James A. Davis and Tom W. Smith, NORC/University of Chicago and Peter V. Marsden, Harvard University, during the Spring of 2006. The new survey has been added to the cumulative file, which now contains data spanning thirty four years.

description: Traffic demand forecasting by deep neural networks has attracted widespread interest in both academia and industry society. Among them, the pairwise Origin-Destination (OD) demand prediction is a valuable but challenging problem due to several factors: (i) the large number of possible OD pairs, (ii) implicitness of spatial dependence, and (iii) complexity of traffic states. To address the above issues, this paper proposes a Continuous-time and Multi-level dynamic graph representation learning method for Origin-Destination demand prediction (CMOD). Firstly, a continuous-time dynamic graph representation learning framework is constructed, which maintains a dynamic state vector for each traffic node (metro stations or taxi zones). The state vectors keep historical transaction information and are continuously updated according to the most recently happened transactions. Secondly, a multi-level structure learning module is proposed to model the spatial dependency of station-level nodes. It can not only exploit relations between nodes adaptively from data, but also share messages and representations via cluster-level and area-level virtual nodes. Lastly, a cross-level fusion module is designed to integrate multi-level memories and generate comprehensive node representations for the final prediction. Extensive experiments are conducted on two real-world datasets from Beijing Subway and New York Taxi, and the results demonstrate the superiority of our model against the state-of-the-art approaches.

description: Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Teehandel, den China mit Europa von 1713 bis 1842 führte. Dabei werden die beiden Exportpunkte des großen Reiches, Kanton im Süden und Kiachta im Norden, miteinander verglichen, um Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen im Transport und Handel von Tee herauszuarbeiten. Hintergrund: Im Laufe des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts wuchs die Nachfrage nach Tee in Europa beständig an. Die großen Ostindienkompanien der Engländer und Niederländer steigerten ihr Transportvolumen stetig, um diese Nachfrage zu befriedigen. Dabei wurde der Tee meist in Kanton eingekauft und über den Seeweg verschifft. Zusätzlich zu diesem Seeweg gab es noch eine Transportroute über den Norden Chinas, wo in der Grenzstadt Kiachta russische Händler Tee einkauften um ihn durch Sibirien bis nach Moskau zu bringen. Resultate: Obwohl die Ostindienkompanien und die russischen Händler versuchten den Markt zu monopolisieren, so gelang ihnen dies meist nur im eigenen Land, da China den Außenhandel streng reglementierte und stetig Gewinn aus dem Verkauf an alle Parteien ziehen konnte. Über beide Transportwege stieg das Warenvolumen beträchtlich an, dennoch konnte über den Wasserweg und damit über Kanton weit mehr Tee nach Europa eingeführt werden. Fazit: Trotz unterschiedlicher Zugänge und Transportwege war der Handel, den China mit den europäischen Mächten führte, für alle Beteiligten ein einträgliches Geschäft und stieg bis 1842 auf ein Vielfaches der ursprünglichen Menge an.
description: This thesis compares the major tea-exporting Cities Canton and Kiachta from 1713 to 1841 and focuses on similarities and differences in trading, handling and transportation of Tea. Background: Over the course of the eighteenth century, tea became one of the major export goods of china. Steadily increasing demand in Europe spurred a continuing growth of East India Companies and Russian Merchants, who sought to increase their share of the Market by direct trade with China. Tea was transported by ship from Canton but also over land to central Russia via Kiachta. While the way to Europe was long and arduous, the journey in China proved also to be formidable, as distances of up to 4000 kilometers had to be covered, before the border town of Kiachta could be reached. Results: Even though the East India Companies and the Russian Merchants tried their best to monopolize the market, tea export was highly regulated through Chinese authorities and supplied China with an ever-growing influx of silver from Canton and favored goods from Kiachta. While the Sea route was several times longer than the way through Russia it proved to be faster and could supply a much higher volume of tea to Europe. Nonetheless all merchants involved in the trade made substantial profits if they could secure enough tea for their markets. Conclusion: The ever-growing demand for tea in Europe led to a significant increase in volume of trade over both routes as profits increased steadily for China and the merchants of Europe.

description: The breakthrough ideas in the modern proximal splitting methodologies allow us to express the set of all minimizers of a superposition of multiple nonsmooth convex functions as the fixed point set of computable nonexpansive operators. In this paper, we present practical algorithmic strategies for the hierarchical convex optimization problems which require further strategic selection of a most desirable vector from the solution set of the standard convex optimization. The proposed algorithms are established by applying the hybrid steepest descent method to special nonexpansive operators designed through the art of proximal splitting. We also present applications of the proposed strategies to certain unexplored hierarchical enhancements of the support vector machine and the Lasso estimator.

description: Ethiopia is endowed with a substantial amount of water resources. The country’s renewable surface and ground water amounts 123 and 2.6 billion cubic meters per annum, respectively, but its distribution shows high temporal and spatial variation. The Ministry of Water Resources of Ethiopia (MoWR) planned to develop a digital hydrologic data model that supports management of the country’s water resources. The purpose of this project is to use the Arc Hydro data model organize and manage water resource data in Ethiopia. To accomplish this, raw Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data was processed and a 90m*90m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was created. Second, drainage lines and watersheds were created using the Arc Hydro tools. Third, six hydro administrative regions were identified based on the flow direction of the streams. This project has shown that Arc Hydro is an effective tool for storing and analyzing hydrologic information for very large areas
title: Le roman de la terre "Maria Chapdelaine" (1916) de Louis Hémon et les caractéristiques de ce genre littéraire
Creators: name: Durig, Sarah
Year: 2018

description: Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den gattungsspezifischen Charakteristika des frankokanadischen Landromans. Dieses literarische Genre entwickelte sich im 19. Jahrhundert aufgrund der ökonomischen und sozialen Umbrüche in Kanada. Die frankokanadische Bevölkerung wurde durch die englische Kolonialmacht in Bezug auf Kultur, Religion und Sprache aufgefordert, sich an die englischen Sitten und Gebräuche zu assimilieren. Zudem hatte die Wirtschaftskrise im 19. Jahrhundert zur Folge, dass sich ein Großteil der Landbevölkerung in den Städten niederließ. Diese zwei Faktoren führten schließlich zu einer Identitätskrise der verbleibenden Landbevölkerung. Die Identität der Frankokanadier, die von den Traditionen ihrer Vorfahren, den ersten Kolonialisten Kanadas geprägt war, drohte zunehmend verloren zu gehen. Aber unter dem Einfluss der katholischen Kirche wurde die Aufrechterhaltung der frankokanadischen Werte zur Ideologie. Dieses nationale Bewusstsein der frankokanadischen Gesellschaft erreichte seinen Höhepunkt mit dem Aufkommen des Buchdrucks und der Publikation der ersten frankokanadischen Romane. Besonders die Autoren der Landromane machten es sich zur Aufgabe, in ihren Texten die frankokanadischen Werte zu propagieren, um somit die nationale Identität der Frankokanadier zu wahren und zu stärken. Zu diesem Zweck bringen die Romane das bäuerliche Landleben zum Ausdruck. Eines der bekanntesten Werke dieses Genres ist „Maria Chapdelaine“ (1916) vom französischen Autor Louis Hémon. Der Roman wurde im Jahre 1914 in einer Zeitung veröffentlicht und erst zwei Jahre später, im Jahre 1916 in Buchform herausgegeben. Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung steht die Familie Chapdelaine, welche mit ihren sechs Kindern in Péribonka, einer sehr ländlichen Gegend, fern von jeglicher Zivilisation lebt. Die Familie verkörpert das Idealbild der Frankokanadier, da sowohl die Landarbeit als auch die Religion, die Sprache und die Familie eine sehr wichtige Rolle in ihrem Alltag einnehmen. Anders als die Autoren der ersten Landromane, thematisiert Hémon in „Maria Chapdelaine“ nicht nur die Nachteile einer Existenz in den Städten, sondern auch jene des Landlebens. Genau diese Gegenüberstellung von Stadt und Land liefert Hémon den Stoff für diesen Roman. Maria, die älteste Tochter der Familie Chapdelaine ist im heiratsfähigen Alter und wird von drei Verehrern umworben. Die drei Männer verkörpern jeweils unterschiedliche Typen der frankokanadischen Gesellschaft im 19. Jahrhundert. Da ihr Favorit, der Waldläufer François tragisch ums Leben kommt, muss sich Maria nun zwischen dem Bauern Eutrope und dem Städter Lorenzo entscheiden. Anfangs ist das Mädchen noch entschlossen, Péribonka für ein besseres, luxuriöseres Leben in der Stadt zu verlassen. Am Ende des Romans entscheidet sich Maria für Eutrope und setzt somit ein Zeichen für die Aufrechterhaltung der frankokanadischen Gesellschaft. Das Werk von Louis Hémon kann somit zur kanadischen Nationalliteratur gezählt werden.

Heark, Hark Ye, Harkee: A History of Forms
Creators: name: Bagli, Marco
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2023

description: The present paper investigates the relationship between Early Modern English spelling fluctuation and grammaticalisation, by looking at the evolution of the different forms of the pragmatic marker harkee, which emerged from an imperative matrix clause headed by the verb hearken/hark. The phenomenon of spelling fluctuation intervenes at multiple levels in the data and in the process under scrutiny. Firstly, the verbs that constitute the matrix clause present alternative spelling forms, with or without the digraph ea >, and with or without final e >. Secondly, an attentive review of the grammaticalisation process of the pragmatic marker hearkee/harkee reveals that this form emerges from a constellation of alternative spelling forms at the end of the 17th century. This paper offers a quantitative analysis of the occurrences of the different spelling forms of the verbs in the matrix clause from which the pragmatic marker emerged. Furthermore, it provides empirical data towards models of the syntactic development of pragmatic markers, by mapping the frequency of evolution of distinct syntactic environments in Early Modern English.

description: In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob und wie das Unterrichtsfach Humanbiologie und Humanpsychologie am Erzbischöflichen Gymnasium Hollabrunn eine Entwicklung des Psychologieunterrichts in Österreich im Vergleich zu Deutschland darstellt. Untersucht wird zu Beginn der Psychologieunterricht in Österreich und Deutschland. Dabei werden Fragen zur Geschichte, Entwicklung, Themen und Inhalte, Fachdidaktik, Methodik, Überprüfung und der Ausbildung von Psychologielehrerinnen und -lehrer untersucht. Anschließend werden kompetenzorientierte Psychologiedidaktiken vorgestellt, welche Bezug zu Österreich und Deutschland haben. Ebenso wird die wenig erforschte Methodik im Psychologieunterricht erläutert. Durch Interviews mit Lehrpersonen des Erzbischöflichen Gymnasiums Hollabrunn wird der Humanbiologie- und Humanpsychologieunterricht in seiner Bandbreite dargestellt. Wie unterscheidet oder ähnelt sich der Psychologieunterricht in Deutschland und Österreich? Kann der Humanbiologie- und Humanpsychologieunterricht als Entwicklung des Psychologieunterrichts dieser beiden Länder gesehen werden? Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es schließlich, diese Fragen zu beantworten und den Forschungsstand des Psychologieunterrichts darzustellen.
description: This diploma thesis adresses the question if and how the subject Human Biology and Human Psychology at the „Erzbischöfliche Gymnasium“ (private grammar school) in Hollabrunn reflects the development of psychology teaching in Austria in comparison with Germany. Firstly, psychology teaching practices in Austria and Germany are examined. In the course of this process, questions about the history of psychology teaching, its development, topics, contents, didactics, methodology, assessment and psychology teacher training are addressed. Equally, issues relating to less explored aspects of methodology in psychology teaching are discussed. In interviews conducted with teachers of the „Erzbischöfliche Gymnasium“ Hollabrunn, the broad spectrum of possibilities in psychology lessons is illustrated. Which similarities and differences can be determined between psychology lessons in Austria and in Germany? Can Human Biology and Human Psychology education be considered a development of psychology teaching in these two countries? Finally, the aim of this thesis is to respond to these questions as well as to present the current state of research concerning psychology teaching.
Accountable Private Set Cardinality for Distributed Measurement

description: We introduce cryptographic protocols for securely and efficiently computing the cardinality of set union and set intersection. Our private set-cardinality protocols (PSC) are designed for the setting in which a large set of parties in a distributed system makes observations, and a small set of parties with more resources and higher reliability aggregates the observations. PSC allows for secure and useful statistics gathering in privacy-preserving distributed systems. For example, it allows operators of anonymity networks such as Tor to securely answer the questions: "How many unique users are using the network?" and "How many hidden services are being accessed?". We prove the correctness and security of PSC in the Universal Composability framework against an active adversary that compromises all but one of the aggregating parties. Although successful output cannot be guaranteed in this setting, PSC either succeeds or terminates with an abort, and we furthermore make the adversary accountable for causing an abort by blaming at least one malicious party. We also show that PSC prevents adaptive corruption of the data parties from revealing past observations, which prevents them from being victims of targeted compromise, and we ensure safe measurements by making outputs differentially private. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of PSC and use it to demonstrate that PSC operates with low computational overhead and reasonable bandwidth. It can count tens of thousands of unique observations from tens to hundreds of data-collecting parties while completing within hours. PSC is thus suitable for daily measurements in a distributed system.

description: Strain engineering is a powerful mean for tuning the various functionalities of ABO3 perovskite oxide thin films. Rare-earth orthoferrite RFeO3 materials such as NdFeO3 (NFO) are of prime interest because of their intriguing magnetic properties as well as their technological potential applications especially as thin films. Here, using a large set of complementary and advanced techniques, we show that NFO epitaxial thin films, successfully grown by pulsed laser deposition on (001)-SrTiO3, show a strong magnetic anisotropy below a critical thickness tc of 54 nm, associated with the occurrence of structural modifications related to symmetry and domain pattern changes. By varying the tensile misfit strain through the decrease of film thickness below tc, the amplitudes of in and out-of-plane magnetization can be continuously tuned while their ratio stays constant. Furthermore, different low-temperature magnetic behaviors are evidenced for strained and relaxed films, suggesting that the strain-induced structural state impacts the magnetic phase stability.
