description: In the coming decades Australia is set to see a dramatic expansion in renewable energy projects. It is likely that many of these will occur on land subject to Indigenous rights and interests. This paper looks to extractive industry experience in negotiating access and benefit sharing agreements with traditional owners to identify best practice to date. The paper concludes that while the guiding principles and the content of access and benefit sharing agreements may be quite similar between the extractive and renewable industries, there are a number of critical differences between these industries that may impact agreement content. These are that renewable energy developments use a completely renewable resource; are usually not limited to specific geographic areas (although certain areas are more conducive to both wind and solar projects); generally require a much greater land area; have physical impacts that are almost completely reversible; affect visual amenity over greater distances (in the case of wind); are potentially in place for more than one generation; and may allow traditional owners continued land access. Additionally, the use of native title land for renewable energy projects will raise different issues for native title holders and companies than the renewable energy industry’s experience to date with neighbouring communities in high population areas.
Measurement of the energy dependence of hadronic jet rates and the strong coupling alpha_s from the four-jet rate with the DELPHI detector at LEP

description: Hadronic events from the data collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP within the energy range from 89 GeV to 209 GeV are selected, their jet rates are determined and compared to predictions of four different event generators. One of them is the recently developed APACIC++ generator which performs a massive matrix element calculation matched to a parton shower followed by string fragmentation. The four-jet rate is used to measure alpha_s in the next-to-leading-order approximation yielding alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1175 +/- 0.0030. The running of alpha_s determined by using four-jet events has been tested. The logarithmic energy slope is measured to be dα_s^{-1} / d\log E_{cm} = 1.14 +/- 0.36. Since the analysis is based on four-jet final states it represents an alternative approach to previous DELPHI alpha_s measurements using event shape distributions.

description: Income management policies have been in place in the Northern Territory since 2007. These policies limit how recipients of government income support payments can spend a proportion of these funds. The policies were initially directed at Indigenous Australians who remain the major group on the program. The objective of the policy was to improve individual and community outcomes. Around one third of the Northern Territory Indigenous population aged 15 years and over have been subject to the policy. Initial evaluation findings could not identify any such gains at the community level. This paper extends the analysis undertaken in the 2014 evaluation using contemporary data covering child health and wellbeing, education, crime and alcohol consumption. It confirms the previous finding of an absence of evidence of discernible, positive benefits across these measures which could be attributed to the policies.

description: : Banja Luka ist die zweitgrößte Stadt in Bosnien und Herzegowina. Von insgesamt 200 000 Einwohner, 20 000 sind Studenten. Nach dem Krieg der 90er Jahre gab es mehrere Versuche, ein Jugendkulturzentrum zu schaffen, aber leider waren alle von kurzer Dauer, entweder wegen Ermangelung von Räumen in denen sich Mensch selbst verwirklichen kann, bzw. der armen Stadt-Politik gegen die Jugend oder einfach der Mangel an Finanzierung. Derzeit gibt es nur ein Kulturzentrum, das mehr für Konzerte der klassischen Musik, Monodrama, Ausstellungen, literarische Veranstaltungen und Vorträge konzipiert ist. In den letzten Jahren kämpft die Banjaluka Jugend um endlich einen Raum zu bekommen, wo man sich treffen, informieren, fortbilden und unterhalten kann. Das Projekt stellt den Entwurf eines Jugendkulturzentrums auf dem Gelände einer ehemaligen Kaserne Mladen Stojanovic dar, welches für jegliche Zwecke an die Universität Banjaluka übergeben wurde. An den Ufern des Flusses Vrbas wird ein Gebäude mit einem Raum für die Durchführung von Musikkonzerten und verschiedenen Aufführungen, Lesungen, Vorträge, Filmvorführungen, Performances und dergleichen mit einer Bar und einer Bibliothek errichtet, sowie ein Skate-Park und ein Strand.
description: Banja Luka is the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. From a total of 200 000 inhabitants, 20 000 are students. After the war of the 90s, there were several attempts to create a youth culture center, but unfortunately all were of short duration, either because of the absence of spaces in which man can fulfil oneself, or the poor urban policies against youth or simply the lack of funding. Currently there is only one cultural center in Banjaluka that is designed more for classical music concerts, monodrama, exhibitions, literary events and lectures. In recent years, the Banja Luka youth is struggling to finally get a space where they could meet, get informed, receive training and entertain themselves. The project represents the design of a youth culture center on the site of a former barracks Mladen Stojanovic, which were passed for any purpose to the University of Banja Luka. It is a building created on the banks of the river Vrbas with a space for music concerts and various performances, readings, lectures, film screenings and the like, with a bar and a library, as well as a skate park and a beach.

description: Based on the discussion of the income from non-agricultural activities and its importance for the Brazilian rural population, this study analyzes: (i) the determinants of pluriactivity and non-agricultural activities in rural households; and (ii) the impact of non-agricultural activities in the income of rural households. Analyses are based on pooled data from the National Household Survey from 2001 to 2013, period that is characterized invesby remarkable changes in the economy and rural society. Results highlight that the odds of having a non agricultural activity depends both on endogenous characteristics, such as the presence of a son/daughter in adult age and education of the responsible for the household, as exogenous factors, such as the proximity of the household from urban areas and geographic region. Despite considerable improvements in employment and income from agricultural activities in the 2000s, the share of families performing exclusively agricultural activities remained reducing in rural Brazil. This dynamic would be justified, in part, by the income of non-agricultural activities, which is greater than that of exclusively agricultural families and grew faster in the period, contributing to the enhancement income disparities in rural areas.

description: Motional Stark effect (MSE) spectroscopy represents a unique diagnostic tool capable of determining the magnitude of the magnetic field and its direction in the core of fusion plasmas. The primary excitation channel for fast hydrogen atoms in injected neutral beams, with energy in the range of 25-1000 keV, is due to collisions with protons and impurity ions (e.g., He$^{2+}$ and heavier impurities). As a result of such excitation, at the particle density of 10$^{13}$-10$^{14}$ cm$^{-3}$, the line intensities of the Stark multiplets do not follow statistical expectations (i.e., the populations of fine-structure levels within the same principal quantum number $n$ are not proportional to their statistical weights). Hence, any realistic modeling of MSE spectra has to include the relevant collisional atomic data. In this paper we provide a general expression for the excitation cross sections in parabolic states within $n$=3 for an arbitrary orientation between the direction of the motion-induced electric field and the proton-atom collisional axis. The calculations make use of the density matrix obtained with the atomic orbital close coupling method and the method can be applied to other collisional systems (e.g., He$^{2+}$, Be$^{4+}$, C$^{6+}$, etc.). The resulting cross sections are given as simple fits that can be directly applied to spectral modeling. For illustration we note that the asymmetry detected in the first classical cathode ray experiments between the red- and blue-shifted spectral components can be quantitatively studied using the proposed approach.

Quasi-linear irreversible thermodynamics of a low-temperature-differential kinematic Stirling heat engine

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Low-temperature-differential (LTD) Stirling heat engines are able to operate with a small temperature difference between low-temperature heat reservoirs that exist in our daily lives, and thus they are considered to be an important sustainable energy technology. The author recently proposed a nonlinear dynamics model of an LTD kinematic Stirling heat engine to study the rotational mechanism of the engine [Y. Izumida, EPL \textbf{121}, 50004 (2018)]. This paper presents our study of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics analysis of this engine model, where a load torque against which the engine does work is introduced. We demonstrate that the engine's rotational state is in a quasi-linear response regime where the thermodynamic fluxes show a linear dependency on the thermodynamic forces. Significantly, it is found that the response coefficients of the quasi-linear relations are symmetric, which is similar to Onsager symmetry in linear irreversible thermodynamics. Based on these relations, we formulate the maximum efficiency of the engine. We also elucidate that the symmetry of the quasi-linear response coefficients emerges by reflecting the (anti-)reciprocity of the Onsager kinetic coefficients identified for the relaxation dynamics of the engine in the vicinity of an equilibrium state. We expect that the present study paves the way for developing nonequilibrium thermodynamics of autonomous heat engines described as a nonlinear dynamical system.

Aboriginal community governance on the frontlines and faultlines in the Black Summer bushfires
Creators: name: Williamson, Bhiamie
Publisher: name: Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research, Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: The 2019-20 ‘Black Summer’ bushfires were unprecedented in their size, scale and devastation. It was widely acknowledged that the bushfires disproportionally impacted Aboriginal people both in terms of the population of people affected, and the deep impact felt as people connected to the land. Yet at the height of the crisis, stories emerged of culturally unsafe and unwelcoming relief and recovery services, as well as the uneven responses of emergency services to safeguard and protect cultural heritage. The rupturing of these demographic faultlines exposed Aboriginal people to additional risk and created a distinct Aboriginal experience within the larger bushfire catastrophe. In response, Aboriginal communities and their organisations rallied, evacuating community members, providing immediate relief and support to communities and families affected, and taking their own steps to protect their cultural and heritage values. This paper brings together these stories, captured through various media articles, reports, submissions and testimony, synthesising the common experiences of Aboriginal peoples and the response of their communities and organisations. It draws attention to deep constitutions of strength and resilience embedded within Aboriginal communities, whilst highlighting the trust deficit now engendered between Aboriginal people and relief and recovery agencies. It finishes by reaffirming importance of community-controlled and representative Aboriginal organisations in emergency management, response, and recovery in future disasters.

description: The ability to control electronic properties of a material by externally applied voltage is at the heart of modern electronics. In many cases, it is the so-called electric field effect that allows one to vary the carrier concentration in a semiconductor device and, consequently, change an electric current through it. As the semiconductor industry is nearing the limits of performance improvements for the current technologies dominated by silicon, there is a constant search for new, non-traditional materials whose properties can be controlled by electric field. Most notable examples of such materials developed recently are organic conductors [1], oxides near a superconducting or magnetic phase transition [2] and carbon nanotubes [3-5]. Here, we describe another system of this kind - thin monocrystalline films of graphite - which exhibits a pronounced electric field effect, such that carriers in the conductive channel can be turned into either electrons or holes. The films remain metallic, continuous and of high quality down to a few atomic layers in thickness. The demonstrated ease of preparing such films of nearly macroscopic sizes and of their processing by standard microfabrication techniques, combined with submicron-scale ballistic transport even at room temperature, offer a new two-dimensional system controllable by electric-field doping and provide a realistic promise of device applications.
description: This is a paper submitted to Nature on Feb 5, 2004. Our latest report in Science (cond-mat 0410550) covers more ground but we had several inquiries in recent days, concerning the earlier results on thicker graphitic films, as the Nature e-preprint seems to diffuse much wider than we expected. The earlier manuscript contains significant information not covered by Science

description: Hexaquarks constitute a natural extension of complex quark systems like also tetra- and pentaquarks do. To this end the current status of $d^*(2380)$ in both experiment and theory is shortly reviewed. Recent high-precision measurements in the nucleon-nucleon channel and analyses thereof have established $d^*(2380)$ as an indisputable resonance in the long-sought dibaryon channel. Important features of this $I(J^P) = 0(3^+)$ state are its narrow width and its deep binding relative to the $Δ(1232)Δ(1232)$ threshold. Its decay branchings favor theoretical calculations predicting a compact hexaquark nature of this state. We review the current status of experimental and theoretical studies on $d^*(2380)$ as well as new physics aspects it may bring in the future. In addition, we review the situation at the $Δ(1232) N$ and $N^*(1440)N$ thresholds, where evidence for a number of resonances of presumably molecular nature have been found -- similar to the situation in charmed and beauty sectors. Finally we briefly discuss the situation of dibaryon searches in the flavored quark sectors.

description: The running coupling and the Kugo-Ojima parameter of the confinement criterion are measured for the quenched SU(3) β=6.4, 6.45, 56^4 lattice and the unquenched β=5.2, 20^3 x 48 lattice of JLQCD, β=2.1, κ=0.1357, 0.1382, 24^3 x 48 lattice of CP-PACS and β_{imp}=6.76,a m_{u,d}=0.007, 6.83,a m_{u,d}=0.040, 20^3 x 64 lattice of MILC collaboration. The quenched SU(3) 56^4 lattice data suggest presence of infrared fixed point of α_s=2.5(5) and the approach of the ensemble of the 1st copy to the Gribov boundary. The running coupling of q>2GeV can be fitted by the perturbative QCD(pQCD) + c/q^2 correction. We find the Kugo-Ojima parameter u(0)=-0.83(3). The rotational symmetry of the gluon propagator of the unquenched SU(3) is partially recovered, but its magnitude depends on whether the Wilson fermion or the Kogut-Susskind(KS) fermion are coupled to the gauge field. The gluon propagator coupled to KS fermion is more suppressed than that coupled to Wilson fermion. The running coupling inherits the same trend. The unquenched running coupling of the of q>3GeV can be fitted by the pQCD without c/q^2 term. The Kugo-Ojima parameter of unquenched configurations with light fermion masses is consistent with u(0)=-1.0.

description: This paper outlines the legal instruments and other measures used to support the protection of Indigenous Knowledge (IK), with a view to attributing market value to IK. These instruments are categorised as either enforceable instruments or voluntary protocols, standards and guides. Enforceable instruments have a clear connection to market value, typically being tradeable with a cost incurred to protect their attributable IK. While legal costs, patent prices and licence fees are private, it may be possible to gain access to summarised and de-identified data. Non-enforceable rights such as protocols, codes of conduct and certification may involve compensation or payments designed to protect IK. Price premiums may help to capture the market value of attributable IK, but require careful methodological consideration. A diverse range of instruments helps to provide choice to Indigenous Peoples and creates a system that may support the development of social and market norms that encourage the recognition and protection of IK.

description: The paper analyses profitability of biogas production in livestock farms in Poland with a focus on micro-biogas plants. Due to the high value of investments a crucial issue, from the farmers’ point of view, is the mechanism of financial support. The efficiency of investments has been measured assuming three variants of power of CHP plants. In addition, two scenarios of financial support have been taken into consideration: the “old” mechanism of green certificates and a forthcoming mechanism based on the new Act on Renewable Energy Resources. The new system introduces feed-in tariffs for small plants and auctions and guarantees of purchase for larger biogas plants. The results of the analyses indicate a strong dependence of the financial effects of micro-biogas plants on subsidies. It can be concluded that, under the current state of market development and financial support offered to micro-scale biogas production, investments in biogas plants are in general unprofitable.
Trends in social security receipt among Indigenous Australians: Evidence from household surveys 1994-2015

description: This paper uses data from National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Surveys to examine trends in social security receipt among the Indigenous population between 1994 and 2014/15 as well as documenting the declining receipt of Community Development Employment Project (CDEP) wages. In non-remote areas, social security receipt among Indigenous Australians fell between 1994 and 2008 for both men and women. During this period of buoyant labour market conditions, falls in receipt of social security and CDEP wages were offset by increases in the proportion of people with non-CDEP wages as their main source of income. From 2008 to 2014/15, the level of social security receipt in non-remote areas was not significantly changed. The situation in remote areas is more complicated, as trends in social security receipt have been greatly influenced by the decline of the CDEP scheme. Overall, the proportion of Indigenous people in remote areas in receipt of either social security payments or CDEP wages was lower in 2014/15 than in 1994. However, the proportion receiving social security payments was similar in both years for women and significantly higher for men in 2014/15. Trends in social security receipt and the decline of the CDEP scheme contributed to strong income growth between 2002 and 2008, and then stagnating or even falling average incomes between 2008 and 2014/15.

description: We discuss bounds for nonadiabatic transitions from the viewpoints of the adiabatic perturbation theory and the quantum speed limit. We show that the amount of nonadiabatic transitions from the $n$th level to the $m$th level is bounded by a function of the quantum geometric tensor for the $m$th level. We analyze this bound from the viewpoint of the adiabatic perturbation theory. In addition, this bound and the viewpoint of the quantum speed limit suggest nontrivial relationship between the dynamical transformation and the adiabatic transformation. We also derive a universal bound for any nonadiabatic transition. This bound is written in terms of the counterdiabatic Hamiltonian.
The endangered Vancouver Island marmot : allee effects and reintroduction success
Creators: name: Werner, Jeffery R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Vancouver Island marmot (Marmota Vancouver ens is) is a large social rodent endemic to Vancouver Island, whose population has declined by 80-90% since the 1980s. It is one of the most highly endangered mammals in North America. Compared to its congeners this marmot has received little research, and many questions concerning basic ecology remain unanswered. The first objective of this study was to compare information on contemporary animals (2002-2004) with those of an earlier time period (1973-1975). Data on time allocation, social activity and ranging behaviour of several colonies in the late stages of decline were compared with historical data collected under more stable conditions. Contemporary marmots interacted with conspecifics less, had larger home ranges, devoted more time to vigilant behaviour, and did not exhibit bi-modal activity patterns previously described for this and other marmot species. Contemporary marmots also fed less, gained daily mass at a lower rate, and may have entered hibernation later than members of historical populations. These findings suggest an Allee Effect; a positive connection between aspects of fitness and population size imply the need to identify threshold group sizes necessary for recovery. The second objective of this study was to compare wild marmots with captive-raised marmots released into the wild (2002-2005). Time budgets, wariness to potential sources of danger, and home range activities were compared. Despite similarities in behaviour, released marmots continued to have lower survival than wild marmots. Sources of mortality included predation and unsuccessful hibernation: High mortality is likely linked to dispersal from the release site. Release methods are discussed which may foster cooperative behaviours and philopatry among reintroduced marmots intended to form new colonies. Applying our new understanding of marmot ecology to captive breeding programs may improve the success of conservation efforts for this highly endangered species.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) can share an unconditional secure key between two remote parties, but the deviation between theory and practice will break the security of the generated key. In this paper, we evaluate the security of QKD with weak basis-choice flaws, in which the random bits used by Alice and Bob are weakly controlled by Eve. Based on the definition of Li \textit{et al.} [Sci. Rep. 5, 16200 (2015)] and GLLP's analysis, we obtain a tight and analytical bound to estimate the phase error and key rate for both the single photon source and the weak coherent source. Our approach largely increases the key rate from that of the original approach. Finally, we investigate and confirm the security of BB84-QKD with a practical commercial devices.

Our timing and spectral analyses of the X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the source using RXTE and INTEGRAL data show that the shape of its spectrum in the energy range 3 -- 100 keV is virtually independent of its intensity and the orbital phase. Based on XMM-Newton data, we accurately (5 arcsec) localized the object and determined the optical counterpart in the binary. We placed upper limits on the variability of the latter in the R band and the H-alpha line on time scales of the orbital and pulse periods, respectively.

Dietitians’ experience of clinical practice in Long Term Care

description: The purpose of this research was to gain insight into the experience of dietitians as they practice clinical dietetics in the Long Term Care (LTC) setting, with a particular interest in identifying and understanding elements of LTC that help or hinder clinical dietetic practice to the benefit of LTC clients. Eleven dietitians were recruited for this qualitative study using purposive sampling. The sample included participants with varying lengths of practice since internship; different lengths of time working in LTC; both those working under contract (individual and corporate) and those working as employees; and both those with and without administrative responsibility. Effort was also made to include participants from a variety of sizes of LTC facilities and both government funded and private facilities. Semi-structured interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were initially coded using a content analysis method. This was followed by thematic analysis during which three major themes emerged: teams and teamwork, philosophy of nutritional care for LTC, and dietitians' roles in the LTC setting. Teams were identified as a significant feature of the culture of LTC. The measure of effective teamwork was the extent to which teams provided individualized nutritional care to LTC residents. Participants identified several features of a philosophy of care for the LTC setting. These included the obvious, but sometimes neglected fact that residents need to eat real food, that nutritional care be resident focused and that it addresses quality of life issues as identified by residents. Dietitians identified several tasks that they completed in the course of their work. However, they spoke in greater detail about self-assigned roles that promoted effective teamwork. A model was developed as a result of this research that describes the relationship between a philosophy of nutritional care for LTC and teamwork. A philosophy of nutritional care directs teamwork and effective teamwork is essential for applying a philosophy of care in practice. While there is a great deal of literature to inform the theory of each of these elements, this research highlights the importance of the relationship between them.

description: We explore the exclusive $ B^0 \to ρ^0 γ$ decay to obtain the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $b \to d γ$ decay process. We find that the complex RL and RR mass insertion to the squark sector in the MSSM can lead to a large deviation of CP asymmetry from that predicted in the Standard Model.

description: We have studied supercurrent-assisted formation of the resistive state in nano-structured Nb and NbN superconducting films after absorption of a single photon. In amorphous narrow NbN strips the probability of the resistive state formation has a pronounced spectral cut-off. The corresponding threshold photon energy decreases with the bias current. Analysis of the experimental data in the framework of the generalized hot-spot model suggests that the quantum yield for near-infrared photons increases faster than the photon nergy. Relaxation of the resistive state depends on the photon energy making the phenomenon feasible for the development of energy resolving single-photon detectors.

description: This Policy Insights Paper seeks to assess the influence of evaluation and review in influencing policy in the Indigenous affairs policy domain. The paper examines four high level case studies of strategically significant policy issues within the Indigenous policy domain to assess the impact of evaluation in driving reform over time. Proponents of the greater use of evaluation argue that a major problem in the ongoing failure of governments to effectively address comparative Indigenous disadvantage relates to the poor or inadequate use of evaluation. The paper questions the dominant public discourse amongst Commonwealth policymakers on the nature of policy, arguing it is far from linear and mechanistic, and not fully represented by rationalist models. In turn, this makes evaluation of policy initiatives even more challenging. The paper concludes that while there are benefits to evaluation and review, the impact of politics and pervasive structural power imbalances in determining the architecture of strategic policy settings makes policy evaluation and review highly problematic as a driver of policy outcomes and thus as a driver of reform.

description: (Shortened) Weakly Interacting Massive Particles are often said to be the best Dark Matter candidates. Studies have shown however that rather large Dark Matter-photon or Dark Matter-baryon interactions could be allowed by cosmology. Here we address the question of the role of the Dark Matter interactions in more detail to determine at which extent Dark Matter has to be necessarily weakly interacting. To this purpose, we compute the collisional damping (and free-streaming) lengths of generic interacting Dark Matter candidates and compare them to the scale of the smallest primordial structures known to exist in the Universe. We obtain necessary conditions that any candidate must satisfy. We point out the existence of new Dark Matter scenarios and exhibit new damping regimes. For example, an interacting candidate may bear a similar damping than that of collisionless Warm Dark Matter particles. The main difference is due to the Dark Matter coupling to interacting (or even freely-propagating) species. Our approach yields a general classification of Dark Matter candidates which extends the definitions of the usual Cold, Warm and Hot Dark Matter scenarios when interactions, weak or strong, are considered.

description: O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar sinais de excesso de confiança nos preços entre produtores de milho do Sul e do Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Entre outubro e novembro de 2008, 90 produtores foram selecionados para responderem questões relacionadas a seus conhecimentos do mercado futuro e a suas expectativas de preços. Uma grande parte dos entrevistados respondeu que não negociava contratos futuros por não possuir informação suficiente para isso. Os resultados revelaram que os produtores foram descalibrados quando estimaram os preços esperados na forma direta e indireta. Além disso, para a maior parte dos respondentes, a variância subjetiva obtida por meio dos questionários foi estatisticamente inferior à variância do mercado. Isto mostra que os produtores possuem uma percepção de risco inferior ao risco de mercado. Por fim, o artigo conclui que o efeito de excesso de confiança pode, parcialmente, explicar o baixo uso do mercado futuro de milho por parte dos produtores brasileiros, para garantir a proteção de preço do produto........This paper aimed to identify signs of overconfidence among corn producers in the Southern and Central-Western regions in Brazil. Between October and November 2008, 90 farmers were chosen to answer questions regarding their knowledge of futures markets and price expectations. Most part of agents surveyed answered that they do not trade futures contracts because they do not have enough information. Results showed that respondents were miscalibrated when estimating directly-stated and the indirectly-stated expected prices. In addition, for most respondents, subjective variance for corn proves to be significantly less than the market variance, implying that producers perceive a risk that is lower than that of the market. Finally, the paper concludes that the overconfidence effect can partially explain the low use of futures markets by Brazilian corn producers to hedge their production.

description: With a resonant amplitude-modulation field on two Rydberg atoms, we propose a Rydberg antiblockade (RAB) regime, where the Rabi oscillation between collective ground and excited states is induced. A controlled-Z gate can be yielded through a Rabi cycle. Further, several common issues of the RAB gates are solved by modifying the parameter relation. The gate fidelity and the gate robustness against the control error are enhanced with a shaped pulse. The requirement of control precision of the Rydberg-Rydberg interaction strength is relaxed. In addition, the atomic excitation is restrained and therefore the gate robustness against the atomic decay is enhanced.

description: Ausgangspunkt der Masterarbeit ist der AIV-Schinkel-Wettbewerb des Jahres 2015. Das Planungsgebiet ist das Areal am östlichen Ufer der Spree im Berliner Bezirk Karlshorst West. Der Themenschwerpunkt liegt in der Erschliessung des gesamten Areals durch ein organisch von der Natur inspiriertes Dach als teils öffentlicher Verkehrsweg für Radfahrer und Fussgeher und ermöglicht den Nutzern und Besuchern die Umgebung und das Quartier aus einer anderen Perspektive zu erleben. Das großformatige Gebäude ertreckt sich als eine verzweigte Struktur über das gesamte Gebiet und öffnet sich zur neu gestalteten Promenade entlang der Spree. Die Grundrisse sind flexibel und adaptierbar organisiert um eine große Bandbreite von Nutzungen zu ermöglichen, wie Wohnen, Arbeiten, Ateliers und öffentliche und kulturelle Veranstaltungen. Bei der Planung wurde hauptsächlich das Thema Wohnbau berücksichtigt. Das Projekt stellt aufgrund seiner Form und Größe einen positiven, abwechslungsreichen Kontrast zu den Gegebenheiten der industriell geprägten Umgebung dar und soll Anziehungs- und Ausgangspunkt für neues urbanes Leben sein.
description: The starting point of the thesis is the AIV Schinkel Competition of the year 2015. The planning area is the area on the east bank of the River Spree in Berlin's Karlshorst West district. The main focus lies in the development of the whole area through an organically inspired by nature roof as a part of public circulation route for cyclists and pedestrians allowing users and visitors to experience the environment and the neighborhood from a different perspective. The large-scale building is situated as a branched structure over the entire area and opens to the newly designed promenade along the Spree. The floor plans are flexible and adaptable organized preserving a wide range of uses to allow, such as housing, work, studios and public and cultural events. When planning the theme housing was mainly considered. The project is due to its shape and size is a positive, fun-filled contrast to the realities of the highly industrialized environment and should be attractive and starting point for a new urban life.
