Gravitational energy in a small region for the modified Einstein and Landau-Lifshitz pseudotensors
Creators: name: So, Lau Loi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The purpose of the classical Einstein and Landau-Lifshitz pseudotensors is for determining the gravitational energy. Neither of them can guarantee a positive energy in holonomic frames. In the small sphere approximation, it has been required that the quasilocal expression for the gravitational energy-momentum density should be proportional to the Bel-Robinson tensor $B_{αβμν}$. However, we propose a new tensor $V_{αβμν}$ which is the sum of certain tensors $S_{αβμν}$ and $K_{αβμν}$, it has certain properties so that it gives the same gravitational "energy-momentum" content as $B_{αβμν}$ does. Moreover, we show that a modified Einstein pseudotensor turns out to be one of the Chen-Nester quasilocal expressions, while the modified Landau-Lifshitz pseudotensor becomes the Papapetrou pseudotensor; these two modified pseudotensors have positive gravitational energy in a small region.

Just a few bad apples: perceiving sexist men as non-typical to the larger category of men serves to maintain the gender hierarchy

description: Social problems, including those related to gender discrimination, are often simplistically attributed to a few ‘bad apples’ rather than systemic issues. This research explores one aspect of this under-investigated phenomenon by focusing on women's perceptions of sexist men. Three pre-registered correlational studies (n=647) explored whether women's tendency to perceive sexist men as non-typical (‘bad apples’) versus typical of the larger category of men is associated with benefits on intrapersonal and interpersonal levels but with costs on an intergroup level. At the intrapersonal and interpersonal levels, perceiving sexist men as non-typical was associated with a stronger feeling of well-being, more positive perceptions of men, and stronger social connectedness with men. However, at the intergroup level, it was associated with lower intentions to engage in collective action on behalf of women's issues. These findings suggest that perceiving the subgroup of sexist men as non-typical of the larger category of men is a perception that may contribute to maintaining the gender status quo. The societal and practical implications of this research are elaborated in the accompanying social impact statement.

description: Arctic coastal biodiversity faces increasing threats from anthropogenic activities and climate change. However, the effects on biodiversity are still poorly understood, hindering actions aimed at mitigating the impacts at a pan-Arctic scale. We present the results of a horizon scan that provides a road map to address knowledge gaps on the influence of anthropogenic activities, from increased shipping and harvesting to consequences of climate change including increasing temperatures, cryosphere loss, and freshwater runoff. Predictions on ecological change, species range expansions, and anthropogenic impacts on Arctic coasts are hampered by the lack of biodiversity data and scarcity of biological long-term monitoring programs. Filling these knowledge gaps will require coordinated international efforts and standardized experiments across the diverse ecosystems characterizing the Arctic.

description: As part of a multiwavelength study of the unusual radio supernova remnant DA 495, we present observations made with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Imaging and spectroscopic analysis confirms the previously detected X-ray source at the heart of the annular radio nebula, establishing the radiative properties of two key emission components: a soft unresolved source with a blackbody temperature of 1 MK consistent with a neutron star, surrounded by a nonthermal nebula 40'' in diameter exhibiting a power-law spectrum with photon index Gamma = 1.6+/-0.3, typical of a pulsar wind nebula. The implied spin-down luminosity of the neutron star, assuming a conversion efficiency to nebular flux appropriate to Vela-like pulsars, is ~10^{35} ergs/s, again typical of objects a few tens of kyr old. Morphologically, the nebular flux is slightly enhanced along a direction, in projection on the sky, independently demonstrated to be of significance in radio polarization observations; we argue that this represents the orientation of the pulsar spin axis. At smaller scales, a narrow X-ray feature is seen extending out 5'' from the point source, a distance consistent with the sizes of resolved wind termination shocks around many Vela-like pulsars. Finally, we argue based on synchrotron lifetimes in the estimated nebular magnetic field that DA 495 represents a rare pulsar wind nebula in which electromagnetic flux makes up a significant part, together with particle flux, of the neutron star's wind, and that this high magnetization factor may account for the nebula's low luminosity.

Newsletter
The energy from ocean waves is a largely untapped resource that could play an important role in our electricity future. It is more consistent and predictable than that of other renewable resources such as wind and solar. Although several pilot projects have been successfully deployed worldwide, and some of them are grid-connected, the economic production of electric power from wave energy remains to be demonstrated. A key path forward will be the integration of smart technologies that harness vast amounts of sensor and meteorological data to support wave farm operations.

description: The ion temperature of the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn was observed to increase substantially from about 10 to 30 planet radii. Different heating mechanisms have been proposed to explain such observations, including a heating model for Jupiter based on MHD turbulence with flux-tube diffusion. More recently, an MHD turbulent heating model based on advection was shown to also explain the temperature increase at Jupiter and Saturn. We further develop this turbulent heating model by combining effects from both diffusion and advection. The combined model resolves the physical consistency requirement that diffusion should dominate over advection when the radial flow velocity is small and vice versa when it is large. Comparisons with observations show that previous agreements, using the advection only model, are still valid for larger radial distance. Moreover, the additional heating by diffusion results in a better agreement with the temperature observations for smaller radial distance.

Medium-term prospects for the smart grid will be among the key technology topics addressed next month at the IEEE's Technology Time Machine conference in Hong Kong. The purpose of the small and, frankly, elite meeting is to assemble people who are betting their corporate and national futures on when critical technologies will mature and take off. To judge from preliminary assessments laid out in a white paper prepared for the conference, some technogies, such as cloud computing, already are at a hockey-stick inflection point, while others, such as the so-called "Internet of Things," will reach that point in perhaps ten years' time. With the smart grid, due to immense technical challenges and acute engineering shortages, the inflection point may be closer to two decades away.

description: With the widespread use of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), machine learning algorithms have evolved in two diverse directions -- one with ever-increasing connection density for better accuracy and the other with more compact sizing for energy efficiency. The increase in connection density increases on-chip data movement, which makes efficient on-chip communication a critical function of the DNN accelerator. The contribution of this work is threefold. First, we illustrate that the point-to-point (P2P)-based interconnect is incapable of handling a high volume of on-chip data movement for DNNs. Second, we evaluate P2P and network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect (with a regular topology such as a mesh) for SRAM- and ReRAM-based in-memory computing (IMC) architectures for a range of DNNs. This analysis shows the necessity for the optimal interconnect choice for an IMC DNN accelerator. Finally, we perform an experimental evaluation for different DNNs to empirically obtain the performance of the IMC architecture with both NoC-tree and NoC-mesh. We conclude that, at the tile level, NoC-tree is appropriate for compact DNNs employed at the edge, and NoC-mesh is necessary to accelerate DNNs with high connection density. Furthermore, we propose a technique to determine the optimal choice of interconnect for any given DNN. In this technique, we use analytical models of NoC to evaluate end-to-end communication latency of any given DNN. We demonstrate that the interconnect optimization in the IMC architecture results in up to 6$\times$ improvement in energy-delay-area product for VGG-19 inference compared to the state-of-the-art ReRAM-based IMC architectures.

description: Nather, Olga. 2013. Aspects of language socialization of English native speakers in Austria. (Aspekte sprachlicher Sozialisation der Personen mit englischer Muttersprache in Österreich). Master Thesis, Universität Wien.
Abstract
Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der Globalisierung hat sich Englisch als Weltsprache etabliert und die Nachfrage nach dieser Weltsprache ist gestiegen. Die sprachliche Integration von Personen mit englischer Muttersprache in die österreichische Gesellschaft bietet ein spannendes Untersuchungsfeld, da diese Personen trotz erfolgreicher Integration oft unzureichende Gelegenheiten zur deutschsprachigen Kommunikation erhalten.
Die Thesis basiert auf Befragungen von insgesamt acht Personen mit englischer Muttersprache die seit mindestens zwei Jahren in Österreich leben. Drei zusätzliche Befragungen von Teilnehmern, die zurzeit in England leben und über eine mehrjährige Integrationserfahrung in anderen Ländern verfügen, lassen vermuten, dass es sich hier möglicherweise um ein internationales Phänomen handelt. Die Befragung beinhaltete Fragestellungen zur Sprachanwendung (Landesprache oder Englisch) in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen wie Beruf, Familie, Freunde. Die Interviews wurden nach VOICE-Konvention transkribiert und einer qualitativen Analyse unterzogen.
Die Analyse wurde unter Berücksichtigung der Politeness Theory und der Communication Accommodation Theory durchgeführt. Die für den Spracherwerb relevanten Aspekte wie Input, Output, Feedback, Motivation und das Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit zur Österreichischen Gesellschaft wurden behandelt. Unter Anderem wurde die zu Beginn der Integration nicht selten entstehende Pattsituation „Deutschsprachiger möchte Englisch lernen, Englischsprachiger möchte Deutsch lernen“ analysiert und nach Ursachen und möglichen Lösungswegen gesucht.
Eine Liste von Strategien, die zur Optimierung der Lernsituation beitragen kann, wurde erstellt. Die Thesis leistet einen Beitrag zum Verstehen von Lernstrategien unter Berücksichtigung der individuellen Situation des Lernenden. Sie behandelt einen speziellen Bereich der interkulturellen Kommunikation in der modernen zunehmend Englisch-interessierten Gesellschaft.

description: We discuss the testable predictions of a phenomenological model in which the accelerated expansion of the universe is the result of the action of a non-gravitational force field, rather than the effect of a negative-pressure dark-energy fluid or a modification of general relativity. We show, through the equivalence principle, that in such a scenario the cosmic acceleration felt by distant standard candles like SNIa depends on the mass of the host system, being larger in galaxies than in rich clusters. As a consequence, the scatter in the observed SNIa Hubble diagram has mostly a physical origin in this scenario: in fact, the SNIa distance modulus is increasing, at fixed redshift, for SNe that are hosted in isolated galaxies with respect to the case of SNe hosted in rich galaxy clusters. Due to its strong dependence on the astrophysical environments of standard candles, we conclude that alternative non-gravitational mechanisms for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe can be interestingly contrasted against the standard metric interpretation of the cosmological acceleration by means of an environmental analysis of the cosmic structures in which SNIa are found. The possible absence of such environmental effects would definitely exclude non-gravitational mechanisms as responsible for the accelerated cosmological expansion and will therefore reinforce a metric interpretation.

description: In Weyl semimetals the location of linear band crossings, the Weyl cones, is not bound to any high symmetry point of the Brillouin zone, unlike the Dirac nodes in graphene. This flexibility is advantageous for valleytronics, where information is encoded in the valleys of the band structure when intervalley scattering is weak. However, if numerous Weyl cones coexist the encoded information can decohere rapidly because of band mixing. Here, we investigate how the helical iso-spin texture of Weyl cones affects valleytronics in heterojunctions of Weyl materials, and show how the chirality of this iso-spin texture can serve to encode information.

description: (Abriged) The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is believed to be an efficient way to transport angular momentum in accretion discs. It has also been suggested as a way to amplify magnetic fields in discs, the instability acting as a nonlinear dynamo. Recent numerical work has shown that a large-scale magnetic field, which is predominantly azimuthal, can be sustained by motions driven by the MRI of this same field. Following this idea, we present an analytical calculation of the MRI in the presence of an azimuthal field with a non-trivial vertical structure. We find that the mean radial EMF associated to MRI modes tends to reduce the magnetic energy, acting like a turbulent resistivity by mixing the non-uniform azimuthal field. Meanwhile, the azimuthal EMF generates a radial field that, in combination with the Keplerian shear, tends to amplify the azimuthal field and can therefore assist in the dynamo process. This effect, however, is reversed for sufficiently strong azimuthal fields, naturally leading to a saturation of the dynamo and possibly to a cyclic behaviour of the magnetic field, as found in previous numerical works.

Sichtbarkeit von Geld im Lebensrückblick
Creators: name: Zimper, Lisa-Maria
Year: 2013

description: Ausgangspunkt der Studie ist die paradoxe Beobachtung hinsichtlich der Omnipräsenz des Geldes einerseits, also dessen Anwesenheit und Wirken in allen Facetten des zwischenmenschlichen Lebens und der Erkenntnis andererseits, dass der Gegenstand Geld de facto unbekannt ist (mangelndes Wissen, Tabuisierung). Von dieser Perspektive ausgehend wurde festgestellt, dass wissenschaftliche Arbeiten primär theoriegeleitet vorgehen und durch die Wahl der Methode explizit auf Geld fokussieren. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist es daher, die Geldthematik auf individueller Ebene mittels narrativ-biografischer Interviews zu betrachten, eingebettet im Umfeld, in dem es wirkt. Durch die Fokussierung auf das Leben anstelle von Geld konnte auf eine explizite Orientierung an der Geldthematik verzichtet werden. Die Interviews wurden sowohl auf qualitativer wie auch auf quantitativer Ebene gegenübergestellt und folgenden grundlegenden Fragestellungen nachgegangen: Tritt die Geldthematik im Rahmen narrativ-biografischer Interviews überhaupt auf? Wenn ja, in welcher Form? Und welche typischen Merkmale in den Inhalten der Geldthematiken lassen sich feststellen? Die offene Herangehensweise erwies sich insgesamt als geeignet um das Geldbewusstsein zu erforschen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die reflexive Eigenschaft des Geldes dieses in den uneingeschränkten Lebenserzählungen sichtbar werden lässt, vor allem wenn es sich um die Darstellung des Zuganges zu Geld und um konfliktträchtige Situationen handelt. Die Analyse ergab des Weiteren, dass Selbstverständliches wie beispielsweise das Sparen kaum Beachtung in den eigenständig aufgegriffenen Ausführungen fand. Den theoretischen Rahmen der Interpretation bilden die Erkenntnisse zum narrativen Erzählen sowie zum autobiografischen Erinnern von Personen fortgeschrittenen Alters.

description: Using a combined local density functional theory (LDA-DFT) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) dynamic cluster approximation approach, the parameter dependence of the superconducting transition temperature Tc of several single-layer hole-doped cuprate superconductors with experimentally very different Tcmax is investigated. The parameters of two different three-band Hubbard models are obtained using the LDA and the downfolding Nth-order muffin-tin orbital technique with N=0 and 1 respectively. QMC calculations on 4-site clusters show that the d-wave transition temperature Tc depends sensitively on the parameters. While the N=1 MTO basis set which reproduces all three $pdσ$ bands leads to a d-wave transition, the N=0 set which merely reproduces the LDA Fermi surface and velocities does not.
"Realien" an den Jesuitenkollegien der frühen Neuzeit
Creators: name: Suter, Pirmin
Year: 2013

description: Nach offizieller Bestätigung durch Papst Paul III. im Jahr 1540 entwickelte sich der Jesuitenorden schnell zu einem erfolgreichen Schulorden. Die sogenannte „Ratio Studiorum“, die Schulordnung der Jesuitenkollegien, erhielt ihre endgültige Fassung im Jahr 1599 und blieb bis zur Auflösung des Ordens 1773 in Kraft.
Trotz ihres offensichtlichen Erfolges stehen die damaligen Jesuitenkollegien seit der Aufklärung im Kreuzfeuer der Kritik. Ein Vorwurf gegen die Lehrinhalte der Jesuitenkollegien findet sich immer wieder. Er betrifft die sogenannten „Realien“ an den Bildungsstätten der Jesuiten: Die Jesuiten hätten bis 1773 treu nach der veralteten „Ratio Studiorum“ ihren Aristoteles gelesen und wären nicht bereit gewesen, ihren Unterricht − zum Beispiel in den Realien − den zeitlichen Umständen anzupassen.
Zwischen dem schulischen Erfolg und diesem Vorwurf scheint ein Widerspruch zu sein, weshalb die Frage auf der Hand liegt, ob denn die Jesuiten so erfolgreich hätten sein können, wenn sie sich bei den Realien im Unterricht nicht den Fortschritten in der Naturforschung geöffnet hätten.
Inventarlisten der Jesuitenkollegien und dort verwendete Schulbücher geben Aufschluss darüber, inwieweit die Jesuiten in ihrem Unterricht die neuen Methoden und Fragestellungen der Naturforschung berücksichtigt haben. In manchen Fällen sind sogar Jesuitenprofessoren bekannt, die als fortschrittliche und erfolgreiche Naturforscher galten.
Obwohl die „Ratio Studiorum“ bis 1773 unverändert blieb, hielten sich die Jesuiten in der Realienkunde keineswegs nur an die Lehre des Aristoteles. Vielmehr betrieben sie eine eigenständige aktive Naturforschung durch Beobachten und Experimentieren, die durchaus dem allgemeinen Fortschritt in der Naturforschung Rechnung trug. Daran ließen sie in ihren Kollegien auch die Schüler im Unterricht teilnehmen.

From using demand response to ease network congestion in urban densification areas to improving power theft in informal settlements with advanced metering, smart technologies and solutions can provide an answer to the challenges of growing cities. And if the one-size-fits-all approach does not work in urban planning, the experience in Europe shows that a smart application is somewhere there, waiting to be implemented.
Adaptive management of renewable resources with uncertain dynamics
Creators: name: Smith, Anthony David Miln
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A range of adaptive policies is applied to the management of simulated fish stocks based on two simple models of stock dynamics, the Ricker model and the Schaefer model. Uncertainty about stock dynamics is represented as uncertainty about the parameters of these models. The policies tested include an active adaptive policy where management control options are chosen taking into account the uncertainty in the parameter estimates; a range of passive adaptive policies, where controls are chosen assuming parameter estimates are correct, but the estimates are updated from time to time; and a non-adaptive policy where the initial parameter estimates are assumed to be correct and are never updated. Analysis of the regression problems for estimating the parameters of the two models shows that a major factor determining uncertainty about parameter estimates is the variability in observed values of the independent variables in the regression. Where there is more than one independent variable, contrasts between variables are also important. Comparison of policy performances shows that the active adaptive policy always performs well relative to the optimal policy (where the true stock parameters are known). The passive adaptive policy with regular parameter estimate updating generally performs very well but occasionally very poorly. Poor performance occurs when the data points in the regression problem are clustered close to the apparent optimal levels of the independent variables. In most other cases poor initial parameter estimates cause sufficient perturbations in controls to correctly identify parameter values. The non-adaptive policy generally performs poorly, except in the case of the Ricker model where observations are available near the equilibrium stock size. This is due to the insensitivity of the optimal escapement to variations in the productivity of the stock. The good performance of the active adaptive policy is achieved at the expense of short term performance, which is sacrificed to improve parameter estimates. Infrequent updating of parameter estimates and low significance attached to new data are both shown to lead to marked deterioration in performance for the passive adaptive policy. The major conclusion from the cases studied is that good estimation (equivalent to good understanding about stock dynamics) and hence good policy performance requires sufficient variability in, and contrasts between, the independent variables in the corresponding regression problems. It is suggested that this conclusion can be extended to more general problems of uncertainty about system dynamics in managing renewable resources provided that the problems can be simplified to an understanding of the key processes and uncertainties involved. The quantities corresponding to independent variables in an appropriate regression problem can then be identified and appropriate experimental management strategies devised to discriminate between alternative hypotheses.

To efficiently administer the growing cities, providers of infrastructure services (utilities) and governments are increasingly using IT solutions in what is now known as smart cities. Definitions vary from instrumented, interconnected and intelligent to the ones that use smart computing technologies to make the critical infrastructure components and services more intelligent, interconnected and efficient. Fundamentally, information becomes an enabler for improvements, which spans better measurements, better analysis, and better action (automation, where feasible).
