description: We introduce the notion of algebraic higher symmetry, which generalizes higher symmetry and is beyond higher group. We show that an algebraic higher symmetry in a bosonic system in $n$-dimensional space is characterized and classified by a local fusion $n$-category. We find another way to describe algebraic higher symmetry by restricting to symmetric sub Hilbert space where symmetry transformations all become trivial. In this case, algebraic higher symmetry can be fully characterized by a non-invertible gravitational anomaly (i.e. an topological order in one higher dimension). Thus we also refer to non-invertible gravitational anomaly as categorical symmetry to stress its connection to symmetry. This provides a holographic and entanglement view of symmetries. For a system with a categorical symmetry, its gapped state must spontaneously break part (not all) of the symmetry, and the state with the full symmetry must be gapless. Using such a holographic point of view, we obtain (1) the gauging of the algebraic higher symmetry; (2) the classification of anomalies for an algebraic higher symmetry; (3) the equivalence between classes of systems, with different (potentially anomalous) algebraic higher symmetries or different sets of low energy excitations, as long as they have the same categorical symmetry; (4) the classification of gapped liquid phases for bosonic/fermionic systems with a categorical symmetry, as gapped boundaries of a topological order in one higher dimension (that corresponds to the categorical symmetry). This classification includes symmetry protected trivial (SPT) orders and symmetry enriched topological (SET) orders with an algebraic higher symmetry.

Feasibility of miniature polypyrrole actuated valves
Creators: name: Cole, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Polypyrrole is a conducting polymer that can change in volume as its oxidation state is altered. This change in volume, operable at low voltages, can be used to create small actuating devices. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the use of polypyrrole for the creation of a low voltage polymer valve and to demonstrate the mechanisms that could be used to create these valves. There are a number of challenges in using polypyrrole in a commercially viable valve; it must be able to withstand large temperature variations, have a high strain (to minimize mechanical amplification), have high work density (to minimize the amount of polypyrrole required), have a long lifetime and be assemblable into a compact valve. To evaluate and meet these requirements: 1) The effect of modifying synthesis and actuation conditions on the electrochemical actuation of polypyrrole is investigated to find the conditions that give the highest electrochemical strain and strongest polypyrrole films. Stable and fast strains of 6% at up to 2 MPa for films grown in propylene carbonate and actuated in NaPF6(aq) are achieved. These films were stored for up to 3 months before use with no losses in strain but showed a loss of 0.06% of their maximum strain per electrochemical cycle. 2) Polypyrrole is exposed to temperature variations, showing that high temperature (up to 80°C) exposure has a deleterious effect on polypyrrole actuation. To try and minimize losses, the effect of temperature in both aqueous and organic electrolytes and the mechanism for degradation is investigated. -PF6 grown films in aqueous electrolytes show the least degradation. 3) A linear valve mechanism is built and demonstrates that it should be possible to achieve the force and displacement required to open and close a sliding plate valve. Empirical models suggest that it should be possible to use polypyrrole sliding oil sealed valves. 4) An encapsulatable trilayer is built that seals holes in a perforated plate and could also be used to make a valve.

description: The paper analyses evasion in terms of size and its main determinants, and discusses some of the measures to reduce its extension. Instead of attempting a new estimate of evasion, the author uses the many existing estimates and compares them, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. The available data on the underground economy and fiscal evasion in Italy and in major OECD countries is shown. Then, after recalling its effects on public budgets, the other economic effects of evasion are discussed. Some determinants of tax evasion, in particular those that appear most significant for our country, are then analysed. Finally, major issues of economic policy and measures to reduce tax evasion are discussed. JEL: H26

description: Raumkapseln für KünstlerInnen In urbanen und temporären Residenzen ist es verschiedensten KünstlerInnen möglich, ihre kreativen Tätigkeiten in einer mutablen und beweglichen Architektur mitten im Stadtgebiet auszuüben. Ein bis zwei zeitgenössische KünstlerInnen leben und arbeiten an netzartig verteilten Plätzen jeweils in kleinen Modulen. Der architektonische Entwurf soll einen lebendigen Austausch zwischen Kunstschaffenden und StadtbewohnerInnen hervorbringen: Für begrenzte Zeiten und in konkreten Stadträumen treffen Menschen unterschiedlicher kultureller und regionaler Hintergründe aufeinander. Dabei fördert die Architektur die Kreativität und Beweglichkeit der KünstlerInnen bewusst außerhalb ihres Kulturkreises. Nach Ablauf der Residency werden alle KünstlerInnen zusammen mit Ihren Modulen auf einer Trägerbasis ausgestellt. Dieses Mutterschiff versammelt alle Module zu einer Gesamtausstellung, die die Ergebnisse der Residencies zeigt. Auf seinen Raupen rollt dann das Mutterschiff durch prominente Wege der Stadt und präsentiert sich als künstlerische Momentaufnahme städtischer Kollisionen.
description: Architecture in Residence In urban and temporary residencies it is possible for diverse artists to perform their creative work in a mutable and movable architecture in the middle of an urban surrounding. One or two contemporary artists live and work in compact modules in a weblike spread throughout the city. The architectural design should generate a lively exchange between creative artists and urban residents: for limited time periods and in specific spaces in the city where people with different cultural and regional backgrounds clash and interact together. Hereby the architecture forces conscious creativity and mobility of the artists outside their familiar cultural society. After the expiry of the residency all the participating artist will be exhibited in a carrier base. This mothership congregates all capsules to one main exhibition which shows the results of the residencies. On his crawlers the mothership rolls through prominent paths of the city and presents itself as an artistic snap-shot of urban collisions.
Inflazione, disoccupazione e orientamenti della banca centrale: il parere pubblico (Inflation, unemployment and the position of the central bank: the opinion of the public

subject: E52, E58

description: Recent theoretical developments in monetary policy are based on the view that the effectiveness of monetary policy is strongly influenced by the interaction between the behaviour of the monetary policy-makers and the private sector. Optimal monetary policy and the possible desirability of central bank independence are directly related to respective assumptions about the information and opinion of the private sector. These assumptions are tested in Italy and the Netherlands. Surveys conducted through telephone and face-to-face interviews show central bank independence and future inflation estimates that are higher among people with higher education and lower for those with lower education. Also revealed is a central bank that is more concerned with unemployment and a government that is concerned with inflation. The glaring result, however, is the public's lack of awareness about a trade-off between inflation and unemployment. JEL: E52, E58

Privatizzazioni e corporate governance in Francia (Privatizations and corporate governance in France)

subject: E00, G34

description: From the middle of 1993, the French government has followed an ambitious privatisation programme. Nine major state-owned enterprises have been at least partially sold; other companies some of which are amongst the largest in France, will be sold in the next few years. An analysis is undertaken of how the post-1993 privatisations have related to changes in both the mechanisms of corporate governance and the market for corporate control. Privatisation in France is found to be tactically motivated rather than being spurred by efficiency. Privatisation opened more political than economic opportunities, and corporate governance stayed in stable entities to protect managers from take-over threats. However, a move that will allow organisational competition between Anglo-Saxon and German-Japanese mechanisms may further improve governance of large French corporations. JEL: E00, G34

description: Diese Literaturarbeit geht der Frage nach, wie eine gute Therapiebeziehung in der Psychomotorik aufgebaut werden kann. Dazu werden die Elemente einer positiven Therapiebeziehung und die Komponenten der Anfangsphase einer Psychotherapie untersucht. Die Erkenntnisse werden integriert, mit der Psychomotoriktherapie verbunden und diskutiert. Die Theorie zeigt, dass der Aufbau von Vertrauen in der therapeutischen Anfangsphase zentral ist. Bereits beim ersten Treffen zwischen Therapeut und Kind soll ein wertschätzender und intensiver Kontakt entstehen. Dies ist in der Psychomotoriktherapie in der offenen Spielsituation möglich. Hier wird die Interaktion mit dem Medium Spiel und Bewegung dem Entwicklungsstand des Kindes angepasst und es kann seine Stärken und Interessen zeigen. Diese Faktoren sind auch in der weiteren Beziehungsgestaltung wesentlich.

description: This paper presents a catalogue of optimised pointings for differential photometry of 23,779 quasars extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Catalogue and a score for each indicating the quality of the Field of View (FoV) associated with that pointing. Observation of millimagnitude variability on a timescale of minutes typically requires differential observations with reference to an ensemble of reference stars. For optimal performance, these reference stars should have similar colour and magnitude to the target quasar. In addition, the greatest quantity and quality of suitable reference stars may be found by using a telescope pointing which offsets the target object from the centre of the field of view. By comparing each quasar with the stars which appear close to it on the sky in the SDSS Catalogue, an optimum pointing can be calculated, and a figure of merit, referred to as the "score" calculated for that pointing. Highly flexible software has been developed to enable this process to be automated and implemented in a distributed computing paradigm, which enables the creation of catalogues of pointings given a set of input targets. Applying this technique to a sample of 40,000 targets from the 4th SDSS quasar catalogue resulted in the production of pointings and scores for 23,779 quasars. This catalogue is a useful resource for observers planning differential photometry studies and surveys of quasars to select those which have many suitable celestial neighbours for differential photometry

I sistemi locali del credito in regioni a diverso stadio di sviluppo (Local credit systems in regions with different stages of development)

Subjects: subject: Italian financial system, Regional development, Local credit
subject: E51, H81

description: The analysis of the territorial articulation of the Italian financial system and its interaction with the different levels of economic development between regions, long overdue, has finally had a significant boost in recent years. The growing interest in this area is largely due to two reasons: the planning of the european monetary union and the reform of the banking system. These transformations have both put emphasis on the territorial problems of impact and adaptation in the presence of strong regional differences in levels of development. In this paper attention is paid to the banking systems of two peripheral regions that are at a different stage of development: Sardinia and Marche. What is of greatest interest, in the light of the available documentation, is in what way and to what extent the local credit markets are inserted in the new configuration that is emerging in the Italian financial system and, in this rapidly changing context, what are the gaps to be bridged, the resistances to be overcome, and the optimal connections to focus on.

The global sample path large deviation principle and an integral representation of the rate function are derived from local large deviation estimates. Our results complete the proof of Dupuis and Ellis of the sample path large deviation principle for Markov processes describing a general class of queueing networks.

description: Das Ziel dieses Projektes ist die Gestaltung eines Kulturkomplexes. In dem ersten Teil befinden sich die bisherigen Projekte und Dokumente über Izmir und das Projektgebiet wird erforscht. Des Weiteren wird die Analyse und der Vergleich mit anderen europäischen Städten mit Izmir vorgestellt. In diesem Kontext werden die Potenziale und die Mängel in Izmir festgestellt. Das Thema des Projektes ist definiert als ein kultureller Komplex, dieses umfasst eine Bibliothek, Opern- und Konzerthäuser und Veranstaltungs- und Aufstellungshallen. Aufgrund der niedrigen Rate der Grünflächen wurde in diesem Projekt ein Landschaftspark in das Kulturkomplex integriert. Die Sanierung des Hafens wurde hier zur Aufgabe gemacht und das Projekt schlägt öffentliche Verkehrsmittel mit dem See vor und bietet somit eine stärkere Verbindung zu der Stadt. Der Projektbereich befindet sich auf der Nordseite der Bucht von Izmir, in einem Gebiet mit 74.750 m2. Der gesamte Bauplatz beträgt 8.600 m2. Die verbleibenden 66.150 m2 sind für einen Landschaftspark reserviert. In der Nähe des Bereichs befinden sich luxuriöse Wohnanlagen. Dieses Projekt wird detailliert mit erforderlichen technischen Zeichnungen vorgestellt und mit zusätzlichen 3D-Visualisierungen und Grafiken erweitert.
description: The purpose of this project is designing a cultural complex. In the first phase of project, the previous projects and papers about Izmir and the project area are researched. The analysis and comparisons with other European Cities of Izmir are made. In this context, by looking the potentials and insufficiency of Izmir, the subject of the project is defined as a cultural complex that include a library, opera and concert halls , performance stages and Exhibitions halls. Due to low rate of the green areas it has been thought to integrate this cultural complex with a city park. In Addition the rehabilitation of current port is enrolled as a task and the ferry station which is also integrated to the project provide easy public transportation by sea and strong connection with the city. The Project is located on the north side of the bay of Izmir in an area with 74750 m2. Total construction area is 8600 m2. The remaining 66 150 m2 is reserved as city park. On the surroundings of the Project area, luxury housing estates are located. This Project is detailed with required technical drawings and enlarged with additional 3D visualizations and graphics.

description: The work examines how the irrevocably fixed conversion rates for the currencies of countries participating in the EMU can be set. The authors recall the few provisions delineated in the Maastricht Treaty before examining the wide set of options available. If there are currencies in the ECU basket that do not participate to the single currency, setting conversion rates becomes more complicated. Moreover, the Lamfalussy rule for defining rates comports undesirable consequences. The authors conclude by proposing a multi-stage solution that is compatible with the recent Council regulation on the legal framework: announcement that the euro conversion rate will be set equal to the ECU market rate on the last day and a parallel agreement on the desired structure of bilateral rates of the inside countries.

description: We analyse the transmission and emission spectra of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-76b, observed with the G141 grism of the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). We reduce and fit the raw data for each observation using the open-source software Iraclis before performing a fully Bayesian retrieval using the publicly available analysis suite TauRex 3. Previous studies of the WFC3 transmission spectra of WASP-76 b found hints of titanium oxide (TiO) and vanadium oxide (VO) or non-grey clouds. Accounting for a fainter stellar companion to WASP-76, we reanalyse this data and show that removing the effects of this background star changes the slope of the spectrum, resulting in these visible absorbers no longer being detected, eliminating the need for a non-grey cloud model to adequately fit the data but maintaining the strong water feature previously seen. However, our analysis of the emission spectrum suggests the presence of TiO and an atmospheric thermal inversion, along with a significant amount of water. Given the brightness of the host star and the size of the atmospheric features, WASP-76 b is an excellent target for further characterisation with HST, or with future facilities, to better understand the nature of its atmosphere, to confirm the presence of TiO and to search for other optical absorbers.

description: Nautilus-Haus - Ziel der Diplomarbeit Design a Beautiful House ist es gestalterische Vorschläge für ein schönes Haus und seine Umgebung zu entwerfen. Dabei wird hier die Möglichkeit genutzt, im Rahmen eines innovativen und zeitlosen Projekts zu überdenken, wie man ein Haus strukturieren und wie darin gelebt/gewohnt werden kann, sowie welche ästhetischen Betrachtungsmöglichkeiten dies beinhaltet. Die Ideen streben einen Vorschlag an, der durch Designkonzepte und Materialeinsatz aufgewertet wird. Das Kriterium einer gewissen Form der Schönheit wird ergänzt durch die Anpassungsfähigkeit an die wechselnden Bedürfnisse der Nutzer. Standort ist ein vormals genutzter Golfplatz in Hertfordshire, einer Grafschaft Nähe London. In der Arbeit wird hinterfragt, wie man Schönheit in der Architektur definieren, und dabei auf die individuellen und veränderbaren Ansprüche, in Bezug auf Gestaltung, Raumnutzung und körperliches Befinden, gerecht werden kann. Das dabei entstandene Konzept baut auf der logarithmischen Spirale, einem bekannten Beispiel für mathematische Symmetrie, auf. Der Nautilus, als Symbol für Harmonie und Natur, soll dabei ein Bild von organischer, sowie nachhaltiger Architektur vermitteln. Die spiralförmige Bauweise, sowie der Einsatz von Begrünung und natürlichem Lichteinfall bieten den Bewohnern ein außergewöhnliches Wohnerlebnis. Der bewusste Verzicht auf scharfe Ecken und der Einsatz von fließenden Übergängen ergänzen dabei das Konzept und vermitteln ein behagliches Wohngefühl.
description: Design a beautiful house The Diploma Thesis aims to generate creative suggestions for the design of a beautiful house and its surroundings. As part of an innovative and timeless project, the possibility is taken to rethink the idea of how a house can be structured and the way it serves as a place for living and the aesthetic considerations this involves. The ideas strive for a proposal which is enhanced by design concepts and materials. The criterion of a certain form of beauty is complemented by the ability to adapt to the changing needs of users. Location is a formerly used golf course in Hertfordshire, a county near London. The Thesis focuses on the definition of beauty in architecture. Thereby it goes into detail on how to considerate individual and variable needs with respect to design, use of space and physical condition. The formed concept is based on the logarithmic spiral, a well-known example of mathematical symmetry. The Nautilus, symbolizing harmony and nature is intended to provide a picture of organic and sustainable architecture. The design and the use of vegetation and natural light offer the residents an exceptional living experience. The decision to avoid sharp corners and the use of smooth transitions complement this concept and create a comfortable ambiance.

description: The work analyses the bank-firm relationship in Italy, in order to verify its impact on the behaviour of banks towards customers and the effects on the transmission of monetary policy impulses. The authors single out a sub-group of borrowers whose dependence upon banks seems to be particularly close and examine banks’ behaviour towards this subgroup vis-a-vis other groups of firms. The analysis differs from previous empirical research in that a wider sample of non-financial firms is used, a stability index is employed among the explanatory variables, and the importance of customer relationships is tested with reference to the response of interest rates applied by banks during Italy’s sever episode of monetary restriction in 1992. Specifically, the work looks at the relation between the closeness of bank-firm relations and the probability of being rationed, the multiple borrowing of firms and the possibility that the recent consolidation of the banking system is bound to determine a strengthening in customer relationships.

description: This paper presents bar strength measurements for a sample of 180 galaxies, based on the H-band images of the Ohio State University Bright Galaxy Survey (Eskridge et al. 2002, ApJS, 143, 73). We use a gravitational bar torque method, where the ratio of the maximum tangential force to the mean axisymmetric radial force is used as a quantitative measure of the bar strength. Based on our Fourier analysis we found that nearly 70 % of the galaxies classified as SAB-types in the near-IR might actually be non-barred systems. We also found that ovals are capable of inducing tangential forces at some level. The measurements of this study are used by Buta et al. (AJ, 127, 279) for the analysis of the distribution of bar strengths in spiral galaxies, and by Laurikainen et al. (ApJ, 607, 103) to study the connection between bar strength and nuclear activity.

description: KNWB // Kulturzentrum Nordwestbahnhof Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Entwurf einer Kultureinrichtung als Erweiterung eines aktuellen Masterplans. Auf einem Baufeld des neuen Nordwestbahnhof-Areals gelegen, ergibt sich eine einzigartige städtebauliche Situation. Durch den 2008 gestalteten Masterplan für das Quartier wird das innerstädtisch gelegene, urbane Brachland des ehemaligen Kopfbahnhofs neu zoniert. In meinem Entwurf wird der zentrale Grünstreifen zur Au-Landschaft und Ausgangspunkt einer fließenden Architektur - der Versuch eines neuen innerstädtischen Freizeitangebots.

Subjects: subject: Credit usury, Usury market, Italian anti-usury law
subject: K12, K42

description: The aim of the work is to propose a specific theoretical analysis of credit usury, a phenomenon of inherently opaque contours due to centuries of differing situations, analysis and judgments. The author identifies the usury market based on the definition of credit agreements entered into by a borrower of legal funds with a lender whose objective function contains at least one element of illegality. A basic model is first presented before two different configurations of the credit market are analysed, one with banks that operate in perfect competition and one in which they operate in monopoly. The author then looks to answer the question posed in the title, before going on to evaluate Italy’s new anti-usury law.

description: This paper presents the atmospheric characterisation of three large, gaseous planets: WASP-127b, WASP-79b and WASP-62b. We analysed spectroscopic data obtained with the G141 grism (1.088 - 1.68 $μ$m) of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using the Iraclis pipeline and the TauREx3 retrieval code, both of which are publicly available. For WASP-127 b, which is the least dense planet discovered so far and is located in the short-period Neptune desert, our retrieval results found strong water absorption corresponding to an abundance of log(H$_2$O) = -2.71$^{+0.78}_{-1.05}$, and absorption compatible with an iron hydride abundance of log(FeH)=$-5.25^{+0.88}_{-1.10}$, with an extended cloudy atmosphere. We also detected water vapour in the atmospheres of WASP-79 b and WASP-62 b, with best-fit models indicating the presence of iron hydride, too. We used the Atmospheric Detectability Index (ADI) as well as Bayesian log evidence to quantify the strength of the detection and compared our results to the hot Jupiter population study by Tsiaras et al. 2018. While all the planets studied here are suitable targets for characterisation with upcoming facilities such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Ariel, WASP-127 b is of particular interest due to its low density, and a thorough atmospheric study would develop our understanding of planet formation and migration.

description: The self-powered sensing system could harness ambient energy to power the sensor without the need for external electrical energy. Recently, the concept of photovoltaic (PV) self-powered gas sensing has aroused wider attentions due to room-temperature operation, low power consumption, small size and potential applications. The PV self-powered gas sensors integrate the photovoltaic effects and the gas sensing function into a single chip, which could truly achieve the goal of zero power consumption for an independent gas sensing device. As an emerging concept, the PV self-powered gas sensing has been achieved by using different strategies, including integrated gas sensor and solar cell, integrated light filter and solar cell, gas-sensitive heterojunction photovoltaics, and gas-sensitive lateral photovoltaics, respectively. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances of PV self-powered gas sensing and also remark on the directions for future research in this topic.

description: This thesis search the business value of big data for marketing especially in area of sentiment analysis. Valuable information comes from the data and the more data we have the more accurate information we get. This thesis start with description of big data and why big data become interesting in current decade. Following with listing possible data sources, ways to get the data with -big data- technologies and also pointing out the limitation of data, such as in means of privacy. Sentiment analysis is currently interesting topic for companies to mine opinions from unstructured data sources. Mining for sentiment can be challenging even with intelligent systems. Human speech is still very advanced and can pose challenge to recognize irony or simple negations. I searched and evaluated the ways to get sentiment analysis with simple program examples. By using expert interviews and various sources I searched various implementations and references. I categorized them into separate industry sectors to find a business values for potential organizations of specific type. Potential is high but not for every company, whereas big data project can pose a challenge for smaller companies.
Fluctuating motion in an active environment

description: We derive the fluctuation dynamics of a probe in weak coupling with a "living" medium, modeled as particles undergoing an active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck dynamics. Nondissipative corrections to the fluctuation-dissipation relation are written out explicitly in terms of time-correlations in the active medium. A first term changes the inertial mass of the probe, as a consequence of the persistence of the active medium. A second correction modifies the friction kernel. The resulting generalized Langevin equation benchmarks the motion induced on probes immersed in active versus passive media. The derivation uses nonequilibrium response theory.

description: Jeder Mensch, egal welchen Alters oder seiner körperlichen Verfassung, hat das Recht auf Erholung und Freizeit. Die derzeitige politische und wirtschaftliche Situation fordert von uns immer mehr Einsatz. Der Druck auf die arbeitende Bevölkerung steigt stetig und macht sich in vielen körperlichen und psychischen Erkrankungen erkennbar. Aus diesem Grund war es mir ein großes Anliegen auf diese Entwicklung zu reagieren und den Menschen einen Ort zu bieten, wo sie einen Ausgleich zur Berufswelt, innere Ruhe und Erholung finden können. Hierfür hat sich der Cobenzl, der seit Jahren als Naherholungsort der Wiener Bevölkerung bekannt ist, als passend erwiesen. Das Projekt umfasst einen Wellnessbereich mit zahlreichen Attraktivitäten. Bereits von außen bietet das Gebäude zahlreiche Einblicke in das Innere, wodurch sich die Besucher bereits vor dem Betreten des Gebäudes ein erstes Bild vom Inneren machen können. Für Nichtbesucher wird dadurch auch die Lust reinzugehen gesteigert. Wellness am Cobenzl soll allen Besuchern die Möglichkeit bieten sich zu entspannen, zu erholen, Energie zu tanken sowie wieder zur inneren Ruhe zu finden.
description: Every human being, regardless of age or physical condition, has the right for regeneration and leisure time. The current political and economic situation requires from us more and more input. The pressure on the working population is rising steadily and makes itself noticeable in many physical and mental illnesses. For this reason, it was a big concern on my part, to react on this development and to provide a venue for people to find balance from the working environment as well peace of mind and recreation. The Cobenzl, which has been known for years as a place for recreation of the Viennese population, seems to be the perfect place for this ideas. The project includes a wellness Center with numerous attractions. Even from the outside, the building provide several numerous insights into the interior from outside. The visitors can get an open impression of the interior, even before they enter the building. For non-visitors this outside impression increase the desire to go inside the building. The idea of Wellness on the Cobenzl should give all visitors an opportunity for relaxation, recovering, recharging their energy and to find a peace of mind.

description: Systems in many safety-critical application domains are subject to certification requirements. In such a system, there are typically different applications providing functionalities that have varying degrees of criticality. Consequently, the certification requirements for functionalities at these different criticality levels are also varying, with very high levels of assurance required for a highly critical functionality, whereas relatively low levels of assurance required for a less critical functionality. Considering the timing assurance given to various applications in the form of guaranteed budgets within deadlines, a theory of real-time scheduling for such multi-criticality systems has been under development in the recent past. In particular, an algorithm called Earliest Deadline First with Virtual Deadlines (EDF-VD) has shown a lot of promise for systems with two criticality levels, especially in terms of practical performance demonstrated through experiment results. In this paper we design a new schedulability test for EDF-VD that extend these performance benefits to multi-criticality systems. We propose a new test based on demand bound functions and also present a novel virtual deadline assignment strategy. Through extensive experiments we show that the proposed technique significantly outperforms existing strategies for a variety of generic real-time systems.
