description: The prediction of additional Higgs bosons is one of the key features of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) that gives rise to an extended Higgs sector. We assess the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the high luminosity (HL) run alone and in combination with a possible future International Linear Collider (ILC) to probe heavy neutral Higgs bosons. We employ the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as a framework and assume the light CP-even MSSM Higgs boson to be the Higgs boson observed at 125 GeV. We discuss the constraints on the MSSM parameter space arising from the precision measurements of the rates of the detected signal at 125 GeV and from direct searches for new heavy Higgs bosons in the $τ^+τ^-$, $b\bar{b}$ and di-Higgs ($hh$) final states. A new benchmark scenario for heavy Higgs searches in the $b\bar{b}$ channel is proposed in this context. For the future Higgs rate measurements at the HL-LHC and ILC two different scenarios are investigated, namely the case where the future rate measurements agree with the SM prediction and the case where the rates agree with the predictions of possible realizations of the MSSM Higgs sector in nature.

description: Cool stars like our Sun are surrounded by a million degree hot outer atmosphere, the corona. Since more than 60 years the physical nature of the processes heating the corona to temperatures well in excess of those on the stellar surface remain puzzling. Recent progress in observational techniques and numerical modeling now opens a new window to approach this problem. We present the first coronal emission line spectra synthesized from three-dimensional numerical models describing the evolution of the dynamics and energetics as well as of the magnetic field in the corona. In these models the corona is heated through motions on the stellar surface that lead to a braiding of magnetic field lines inducing currents which are finally dissipated. These forward models enable us to synthesize observed properties like (average) emission line Doppler shifts or emission measures in the outer atmosphere, which until now have not been understood theoretically, even though many suggestions have been made in the past. As our model passes these observational tests, we conclude that the flux braiding mechanism is a prime candidate for being the dominant heating process of the magnetically closed corona of the Sun and solar-like stars.

description: The work proposes a survey of the empirical factors of the prices of non-oil commodities and the short-term determinants of their performance. In addition, it seeks to examine to what degree sudden changes of direction in the prices of commodities have an informative capacity compared to the historical series, more stable and viscous, which describe the process of inflation experienced by industrialised economies. The author finds new empirical evidence of how, despite the heterogeneity of the specific factors of supply and demand, the prices of goods coming from international markets show common movements in varying macroeconomic conditions. It is revealed that shocks are distributed with uniformity on the structure of the relative prices of raw materials.

A model for the accidental catalysis of protein unfolding in vivo

description: Activated processes such as protein unfolding are highly sensitive to heterogeneity in the environment. We study a highly simplified model of a protein in a random heterogeneous environment, a model of the in vivo environment. It is found that if the heterogeneity is sufficiently large the total rate of the process is essentially a random variable; this may be the cause of the species-to-species variability in the rate of prion protein conversion found by Deleault et al. [Nature, 425 (2003) 717].

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Entwurf eines Wohnhochhauses im 22. Wiener Gemeindebezirk Donaustadt, direkt im Knoten Kaisermühlen. An diesem Standort kreuzen sich die Donauufer Autobahn, die Donaustadtstraße und die Wiener Südosttangente. Aufgrund der zunehmenden Wohnungsknappheit in Wien und des Mangels an zukünftigen innerstädtischen Bauplätzen wurde bewusst diese Restfläche gewählt und sinnvoll bespielt. Da bei den meisten Hochhäusern das Verhältnis der Nutz- zur Verkehrsfläche sehr unwirtschaftlich ist, wurde in diesem Entwurf versucht dem entgegenzuwirken. Durch ein Vor- und Zurückspringen der einzelnen Ebenen vergrößert sich die Fassadenfläche und es kann eine größere Fläche belichtet werden. Der Wohnturm wächst aus der Landschaft heraus und erreicht schließlich eine Höhe von 216 m. Durch die Verdrehung und Skalierung in den oberen Geschossen wird zudem die Windbelastung minimiert und es entsteht ein organisch skulpturaler Wohnturm. Durch eine Skelettkonstruktion ist eine flexible Grundrissgestaltung möglich und die Wohnungen können je nach Bedarf erweitert werden.
description: This master thesis is about the design of a high-rise apartment building in the 22nd district of Vienna called `Donaustadt-. The building site is at a markable point called `Knoten Kaisermühlen-. It is located at the joining of the `Donauufer Autobahn-, the `Donaustadtstraße- and the `Südosttangente-. Generally speaking the increasing shortage of apartments and lack of building space is a well known problem in Vienna. At the `Knoten Kaisermühlen- there is an appropriate sized building site which is an example of how space can be used wisely. Since the majority of high raised buildings has a bad ratio of floor space and circulation area (it leads to economic inefficiency), this design is trying to counteract this situation. Through shifting and alternating the different levels, we achieve an increased facade area as well as more open, well-lit spaces. The tower grows out of the landscape and has a height of 689 feet. The top of the building is scaled and twisted to reduce the wind exposure, forming an organic and very sculptural residential tower. Because of the skeletal construction it is possible to create flexible floor plans and to enlarge or to reduce the different apartments.

description: Continuous invariants are an important component in deductive verification of hybrid and continuous systems. Just like discrete invariants are used to reason about correctness in discrete systems without having to unroll their loops, continuous invariants are used to reason about differential equations without having to solve them. Automatic generation of continuous invariants remains one of the biggest practical challenges to the automation of formal proofs of safety for hybrid systems. There are at present many disparate methods available for generating continuous invariants; however, this wealth of diverse techniques presents a number of challenges, with different methods having different strengths and weaknesses. To address some of these challenges, we develop Pegasus: an automatic continuous invariant generator which allows for combinations of various methods, and integrate it with the KeYmaera X theorem prover for hybrid systems. We describe some of the architectural aspects of this integration, comment on its methods and challenges, and present an experimental evaluation on a suite of benchmarks.

description: Bahnhof Bozen Durch die Auflassung und Verlegung verschiedener Wartungseinrichtungen und Anlagen für den Güterverkehr, werden große Flächen des Bahnhofsareals in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Bozner Altstadt frei und stehen für eine Nachnutzung zur Verfügung. Dieser Entwurf sieht die Errichtung eines neuen Bahnhofs für Bozen als intermodales Mobilitätszentrum vor. Unter Beibehaltung der strategischen Funktion des denkmalgeschützten Bestandsgebäudes überspannt er als Brückenbauwerk die Zuggleise und verbindet die Altstadt mit dem Stadtviertel Bozner Boden. Er erleichtert das Umsteigen zwischen den verschiedenen Verkehrsmitteln und fördert eine nachhaltige Mobilität. Der Bahnhof ist dabei aber nicht nur Verkehrsbauwerk, sondern als Teil des Stadtraumes auch sozialer Ort. Der modulare Aufbau erlaubt eine hohe Flexibilität in der Nutzung und macht das Gebäude für zukünftige Anforderungen anpassbar. Zudem werden Strategien für eine durchlässige Gestaltung der Bahntrasse und für eine Vernetzung der Stadtteile aufgezeigt. Voraussetzungen für eine urbane Wiedergewinnung des Bozner Bodens werden geschaffen.
description: Bolzano railway station Various maintenance facilities and sites dedicated to freight transportation of Bolzano`s railway station will be closed down or relocated in the near future. These newly free areas, situated in close proximity to the historic Center, become available for new purposes. This project presents the establishment of a new railway station for Bolzano in the form of an intermodal mobility Center. The new station, maintaining the strategic character of the historic building, forms a bridge and extends over the platforms. Thus, it connects the historic center to the district Piani. It also facilitates the transfers between different means of transports, and at the same time promotes a more sustainable mobility. The railway station is thereby to be considered not only as a transportation facility, but also as a social place within the urban space. The modular structure enables a high flexibility in its use, and makes the building adaptable to future requirements. Furthermore, this project points out strategies to set aside the barrier effect of the railway lines and to reconnect the different parts of the town. It also establishes a basis for an urban recovery of the district Piani.

description: Die Idee zum Entwurf eines Stadions für den Wiener Sportclub entstand nicht nur aus Leidenschaft zum Sport, sondern auch aufgrund der aktuellen baulichen Lage des Vereins. Schnell wurde klar, dass ein neues Stadion in Form eines Gemeinde-/Sportzentrums her muss, das den Bedürfnissen von Team, Anrainern und Gemeinde nachkommen und sich in die Umgebung integrieren soll. So war für mich wichtig, dass sich die weltoffene Einstellung der Fans im Konstrukt widerspiegeln, das Stadion aber trotzdem die Annehmlichkeiten eines geschlossenen Stadions beibehalten. Nach einem theoretischen und analytischen Teil dienen die darin gewonnenen Fakten - wie Einfluss des Stadions auf die Umgebung und die Bewohner, sowie Untersuchung verschiedener Stadiontypen und deren Einflüsse auf die Atmosphäre - im praktischen Teil als Grundlage für den Entwurf. Das Fußballstadion gilt somit als Hexenkessel mit bester Sicht und Stimmung während des Spiels und als Freiraum, Veranstaltungsort und Treffpunkt in der spielfreien Zeit für die Gemeinde. Die planerische Darstellung umfasst Lageplan, Grundrisse, Schnitte, Ansichten der Fassadenschnitte mit Details und fotorealistische Darstellungen des Stadions bzw. des Innenraums.
description: The idea for building a football stadium for the Wiener Sportclub was born not only because of being passionate for the sport but as well because of the club's actual state of repair. It became clear that it was necessary to build a new stadium such as community and sports center which fulfils the needs of the team, neighbors and community on one hand and which is well integrated into the environment on the other hand. For me, it was also important to reflect the fan's open mind in the design and to keep though all advantages of a closed type of stadium. The first part of this thesis means a theoretical and analytic part. There you can find the analysis of the stadium-s influence towards the surroundings/environment and the neighborhood as well as the analysis of different types of stadiums and their effect to atmosphere. All these results serve as background for the concept. Indeed the stadium is meant as boiling pot offering best view and atmosphere to visitors during the match and space for events or -free-time-space- for the community when there is no match. The representation of planning mean site plan, ground plot, sections and photorealistic design of the stadium and the inside space.

description: Angular distribution measurements of $^2$H($^7$Be,$^7$Be)$^2$H and $^2$H($^7$Be,$^8$B)$n$ reactions at $E_{c.m.}\sim$~4.5 MeV were performed to extract the astrophysical $S_{17}(0)$ factor using the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) method. For this purpose a pure, low emittance $^7$Be beam was separated from the primary $^7$Li beam by a recoil mass spectrometer operated in a novel mode. A beam stopper at 0$^{\circ}$ allowed the use of a higher $^7$Be beam intensity. Measurement of the elastic scattering in the entrance channel using kinematic coincidence, facilitated the determination of the optical model parameters needed for the analysis of the transfer data. The present measurement significantly reduces errors in the extracted $^7$Be(p,$γ$) cross section using the ANC method. We get $S_{17}$~(0)~=~20.7~$\pm$~2.4 eV~b.

description: Charles Kindleberger once described international financial crises as an “evergreen”. Indeed, looking back over the last 400 years it is hard not to get a sense of their regularity or invincible fate. However, the current structural market transformations taking place in the wake of globalization call for an analysis of the fresh roots of that “evergreen” of systemic risk. The author offers some semantic and theoretical premises before looking into the role of the human factor in the prevention and control of a crisis from spreading from an isolated case to the system as a whole. Cases are described in which organisational consistency and the quality of corporate governance, shared purposes and a common culture, and sufficient transparency are important to containing systemic risk and curbing panics.

Effects of Frustrated Surface in Heisenberg Thin Films

description: We study by extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and analytical Green function (GF) method effects of frustrated surfaces on the properties of thin films made of stacked triangular layers of atoms bearing Heisenberg spins with an Ising-like interaction anisotropy. We suppose that the in-plane surface interaction $J_s$ can be antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic while all other interactions are ferromagnetic. We show that the ground-state spin configuration is non linear when $J_s$ is lower than a critical value $J_s^c$. The film surfaces are then frustrated. In the frustrated case, there are two phase transitions related to disorderings of surface and interior layers. There is a good agreement between MC and GF results. In addition, we show from MC histogram calculation that the value of the ratio of critical exponents $γ/ν$ of the observed transitions is deviated from the values of two and three Ising universality classes. The origin of this deviation is discussed with general physical arguments.

description: We compare primordial black hole (PBH) constraints on the power spectrum and mass distributions using the traditional Press Schechter formalism, peaks theory, and a recently developed version of peaks theory relevant to PBHs. We show that, provided the PBH formation criteria and the power spectrum smoothing are treated consistently, the constraints only vary by $\sim$10\% between methods (a difference that will become increasingly important with better data). Our robust constraints from PBHs take into account the effects of critical collapse, the non-linear relation between $ζ$ and $δ$, and the shift from the PBH mass to the power spectrum peak scale. We show that these constraints are remarkably similar to the pulsar timing array (PTA) constraints impacting the black hole masses detected by the LIGO and Virgo, but that the $μ$-distortion constraints rule out supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation and potentially even the much lighter mass range of $\sim$(1-100) $\mathrm{M}_\odot$ that LIGO/Virgo probes.

description: Diese Arbeit setzt sich mit dem Entwurf eines Schulgebäudes mit den Schwerpunkten Integration, Inklusion und Barrierefreiheit in dem wirtschaftlich und infrastrukturell wenig entwickeltem Land Bolivien auseinander. Durch Gliederung der Anlage in ein Clustersystem mit klappbaren Wandteilen wird eine flexible Konfiguration der Räume für den Schulalltag ermöglicht. So können sie den gerade aktuellen Anforderungen angepasst und den spezifischen Bedürfnissen der Kinder gerechter werden. Unter Berücksichtigung von Aspekten zu klimagerechtem Bauen in tropisch und subtropischen Regionen werden lokale Baumaterialien verwendet. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Adobe, da im Tiefland Boliviens verschiedene Arten des Lehmbaus verbreitet sind. Lehm wird meistens in traditionellen Bauweisen verwendet, doch bietet er weitere Möglichkeiten als immer verfügbares, billiges und feuchteregulierendes Baumaterial.
description: This work deals with the design of a school building focused on integration, inclusion and accessibility. It is located in Bolivia, which raises the challenge of implementing contemporary design in an economically weak region with underdeveloped infrastructure. The school building presented here is composed of clusters with partially movable walls, allowing for a flexible room configuration. This way, class rooms can be altered and adapted to the needs of the children. In consideration of design criteria for building in tropical and subtropical regions local building materials are used. Predominantly building with adobe, as building with clay is used for different, mainly vernacular building techniques in the whole region, but offers further advantages for being always available, cheap and good for the regulation of humidity.
Magnetic and spin-liquid phases in the frustrated $t-t^\prime$ Hubbard model on the triangular lattice

description: The Hubbard model and its strong-coupling version, the Heisenberg one, have been widely studied on the triangular lattice to capture the essential low-temperature properties of different materials. One example is given by transition metal dichalcogenides, as 1T$-$TaS$_2$, where a large unit cell with $13$ Ta atom forms weakly-coupled layers with an isotropic triangular lattice. By using accurate variational Monte Carlo calculations, we report the phase diagram of the $t-t^\prime$ Hubbard model on the triangular lattice, highlighting the differences between positive and negative values of $t^\prime/t$; this result can be captured only by including the charge fluctuations that are always present for a finite electron-electron repulsion. Two spin-liquid regions are detected: one for $t^\prime/t<0$, which persists down to intermediate values of the electron-electron repulsion, and a narrower one for $t^\prime/t>0$. The spin-liquid phase appears to be gapless, though the variational wave function has a nematic character, in contrast to the Heisenberg limit. We do not find any evidence for non-magnetic Mott phases in the proximity of the metal-insulator transition, at variance with the predictions (mainly based upon strong-coupling expansions in $t/U$) that suggest the existence of a weak-Mott phase that intrudes between the metal and the magnetically ordered insulator.

description: The work adopts an old Keynesian perspective to evaluate the EMU. Such a perspective raises concerns with the effectiveness of monetary policy, the feasibility of monetary policy, and the political economy of monetary policy. The EMU brings with it institutional lock-in, and therefore needs to be evaluated with a long term perspective. Whether or not to join the EMU depends on whether effective sovereign monetary policy is feasible now and in the future, whether the EMU constitutes an optimal currency area, and whether the proposed European Central Bank will have an appropriate institutional design. If formed, the EMU should create institutions which promote expansionary policies and empower the conduct of sovereign European monetary policy.

description: A number of empirical studies have investigated the impact of the federal Government budget deficit on interest rates in the US with most of them concluding that it is positive and significant on long-term interest rates. Both the IS/LM and the loanable funds frameworks through which this relationship is usually couched imply that causality flows from increased deficits to interest rates. The present work argues that the direction of causality may well be the reverse, that is real long-term interest rates may cause the budget deficit. The author offers two reasons to support this hypothesis. First, much or the Government’s debt is financed or refinanced in just a few short years. Second, according to conventional macroeconomic theory, a rise in the real interest rate should lead to a fall in real economic growth. A multivariate causality test is employed to determine the direction of causality among the real long-term interest rate, the unemployment rate and the structural deficit.

description: Human emotion is expressed, perceived and captured using a variety of dynamic data modalities, such as speech (verbal), videos (facial expressions) and motion sensors (body gestures). We propose a generalized approach to emotion recognition that can adapt across modalities by modeling dynamic data as structured graphs. The motivation behind the graph approach is to build compact models without compromising on performance. To alleviate the problem of optimal graph construction, we cast this as a joint graph learning and classification task. To this end, we present the Learnable Graph Inception Network (L-GrIN) that jointly learns to recognize emotion and to identify the underlying graph structure in the dynamic data. Our architecture comprises multiple novel components: a new graph convolution operation, a graph inception layer, learnable adjacency, and a learnable pooling function that yields a graph-level embedding. We evaluate the proposed architecture on five benchmark emotion recognition databases spanning three different modalities (video, audio, motion capture), where each database captures one of the following emotional cues: facial expressions, speech and body gestures. We achieve state-of-the-art performance on all five databases outperforming several competitive baselines and relevant existing methods. Our graph architecture shows superior performance with significantly fewer parameters (compared to convolutional or recurrent neural networks) promising its applicability to resource-constrained devices.

description: As emphasised by the theoretical literature on pricing to market, in general, the magnitude of the exchange rate pass-through depends on the structural conditions of the economy, and may not be full in the long run. The aim of this paper is to analyse this relationship from an empirical point of view, with reference to the Italian case. The field in question is that of industrial transformation, for which there is a set of complete and reliable indicators. The authors first specify a model in which, even in the long run, the prices of imports and output set by domestic producers both domestically and abroad are determined simultaneously. On the basis of this long-term scheme, a more complex short-term dynamic is modelled, with a particular focus on identifying of some specific factors that affect the pricing policies of companies. The results confirm some aspects of those found in previous works. JEL Codes: E31 Keywords: Exchange rate pass-through, Pricing policies, Italy, Pricing to market

description: A number of techniques in Lorentzian geometry, such as those used in the proofs of singularity theorems, depend on certain smooth coverings retaining interesting global geometric properties, including causal ones. In this note we give explicit examples showing that, unlike some of the more commonly adopted rungs of the causal ladder such as strong causality or global hyperbolicity, less-utilized conditions such as causal continuity or causal simplicity do not in general pass to coverings, as already speculated by one of the authors (EM). As a consequence, any result which relies on these causality conditions transferring to coverings must be revised accordingly. In particular, some amendments in the statement and proof of a version of the Gannon-Lee singularity theorem previously given by one of us (IPCS) are also presented here that address a gap in its original proof.

Neben dem Ausbau des weinbauwirtschaftlichen Betriebs sollen auch Räumlichkeiten für Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten, Kellerführungen und Weinproben geplant werden. Darüber hinaus sollen 2-3 Wohnungen für die Betreiber und Veranstaltungsräume mit berücksichtigt werden.

description: The project - It is all about the wine - discusses the reconstruction and the architectural enlargement of the winery Mrs Aly Duhr and sons, located in Luxemburg. The initial idea for the project came from the son, Max Duhr, who himself is partly the owner and operator of the winery. He had the vision to reconstruct the building and enlarge the business with several new facilities so that it becomes more modern and twice the size. According to the architectural enlargement, a new facility for visitors to spend the night will be adjoined. Not only will visitors be able to rest on the estate, they will also enjoy the pleasure of a guided tour of degustation of the winery-s finest wines. Moreover, 2-3 buildings are planned to give additional space to the operators and at the same time can be used as banquet facilities. The architectural design of the project will show a strong link to the characteristics of the vineyards, especially the correlation between the selection of the grapes, the production of the wine and the finish with the bottling of the finished wine. The major challenges of the project seem to be the steep hillside of the winery, and the limited construction area for an enlargement of the business. Nonetheless, due to a big interest in the wine sector and as a friend, I agreed to his offer and accepted the challenge. It is all about the wine ...

description: We consider how to accelerate fermionic molecular dynamics algorithms by introducing n pseudofermion fields coupled with the nth root of the fermionic kernel. This reduces the maximum pseudofermionic force, and thus allows a larger molecular dynamics integration step size without hitting an instability in the integrator.

Narratives of transformation : orphan girls, dolls and secret spaces in children's literature
Creators: name: Goerzen, Christy Sharon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Many critics working in the field of literature for children have acknowledged the prevalence of orphan characters, dolls and doll characters and "children-only" spaces in the literature. While many have discussed their significance separately, to the best of my knowledge no one has thus far examined how they can function and operate together in literature for children. This examination of these formerly separate topics together is grounded in the question: How do dolls, secret spaces and the play associated with them function in literature for children such that the marginalized and displaced orphan girl characters therein undergo positive psychological transformation? My study is based in literary and psychological analysis. The theoretical framework employs the play theories of D.W. Winnicott and Erik Erikson, in conjunction with Gaston Bachelard's and Yi-Fu Tuan's theories of space. The methodology of this study builds upon psychological analyses of the orphan girl protagonists, within the context of their secret space environments and their relationships with dolls in the novels. This thesis analyzes four distinct novels featuring orphan girl protagonists, secret spaces and dolls, and examines the forms of psychological transformation experienced by each protagonist: Rumer Godden's Miss Happiness and Miss Flower, Sylvia Cassedy's Lucie Babbidge's House, Enys Tregarthen's The Doll Who Came Alive and Sylvia Cassedy's Behind the Attic Wall. In each case, this positive outcome is encouraged and facilitated by the girl's relationship to her dolls and her place of solace, or secret space. The patterns found here can point to ways of discovering the psychological changes in other protagonists in literature for children, and how playthings and secret spaces can work to facilitate these changes.

description: The author is one of the UK's eminent monetary economists and a member of the UK's Monetary Policy Committee. After summarising his early academic career, he discusses his time at the Bank of England and the formation of UK monetary policy. This leads on to a survey of his later experiences in returning to academia and his analysis of foreign exchange markets and central bank autonomy. The movements of foreign exchange markets have been thought to react upon the arrival of news concerning changes in monetary policy. However, close examination of the US forex market does not show any significant fluctuations in reaction to particular news disclosures. Economic news with pre-announced release dates have been proven to produce jumps in volatility within minutes of disclosure. The use of high frequency data at given intervals has been shown to produce price spikes and subsidence after a few minutes.

Sistemi finanziari basati sulle banche e sul mercato: realtà o finzione?

description: Many distinguish between financial systems with a dominant role for banks and those with a dominant role for financial markets, assuming this is of great importance for economic development. The author analyses why the distinction might matter, first by investigating how bank and market finance affect economic development. A framework to analyse the financial system is then developed. Finally, a comparative analysis of two so-called bank-oriented countries (Germany and Japan) and two so-called market-oriented countries (the UK and the US) is performed to reveal whether or not there are fundamental differences between their financial systems. The evidence does not support the idea of a distinction between bank- and market-based financial systems, with all four countries showing unique characteristics.

description: Die vorliegende Theorie- und Literaturarbeit befasst sich mit der psychologischen, soziologischen und pädagogischen Sichtweise auf das Thema der Verwöhnung. Die Erarbeitung von unterschiedlichen Theorien und Erklärungsansätzen, mit der Methode des hermeneutischen Zirkels, zeigt die Vielseitigkeit und Komplexität dieses Phänomens auf. Die möglichst ganzheitliche Betrachtung von Verwöhnung soll das Verständnis des Lesers gegenüber verwöhnten Kindern und deren Situation fördern.
 Aus den in dieser Forschungsarbeit gewonnenen Erkenntnissen wurden mögliche Interventionen für die heilpädagogische Arbeit abgeleitet, die geeignet sind, um sie im integrativen Unterrichtssetting umzusetzen.

description: We consider linear error correcting codes associated to higher dimensional projective varieties defined over a finite field. The problem of determining the basic parameters of such codes often leads to some interesting and difficult questions in combinatorics and algebraic geometry. This is illustrated by codes associated to Schubert varieties in Grassmannians, called Schubert codes, which have recently been studied. The basic parameters such as the length, dimension and minimum distance of these codes are known only in special cases. An upper bound for the minimum distance is known and it is conjectured that this bound is achieved. We give explicit formulae for the length and dimension of arbitrary Schubert codes and prove the minimum distance conjecture in the affirmative for codes associated to Schubert divisors.

description: Complexity measures in the context of the Integrated Information Theory of consciousness try to quantify the strength of the causal connections between different neurons. This is done by minimizing the KL-divergence between a full system and one without causal connections. Various measures have been proposed and compared in this setting. We will discuss a class of information geometric measures that aim at assessing the intrinsic causal influences in a system. One promising candidate of these measures, denoted by $Φ_{CIS}$, is based on conditional independence statements and does satisfy all of the properties that have been postulated as desirable. Unfortunately it does not have a graphical representation which makes it less intuitive and difficult to analyze. We propose an alternative approach using a latent variable which models a common exterior influence. This leads to a measure $Φ_{CII}$, Causal Information Integration, that satisfies all of the required conditions. Our measure can be calculated using an iterative information geometric algorithm, the em-algorithm. Therefore we are able to compare its behavior to existing integrated information measures.
An investigation of the help-seeking behaviors of high school students with and without learning disabilities
Creators: name: Dowler, Judith Rosemary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study examined how classroom learning environments, including classroom goal structures, teachers' instructional discourse, and the social climate, can facilitate or curtail students' adaptive help-seeking, particularly students with learning disabilities. Qualitative case study analysis of classroom observations and interviews of four students revealed that individual student's help-seeking varied from classroom to classroom. Also different students' perceptions of the same classroom varied regarding support for their help-seeking. The classrooms that seemed most supportive of student help-seeking were characterized by an emphasis on mastery goals and consistently supportive instructional and motivational discourse as well as a positive social environment. Implications for goal theory and for informing teacher practice with regard to promoting student help-seeking are discussed.

description: In this paper we consider the problem of mixed-criticality (MC) scheduling of implicit-deadline sporadic task systems on a homogenous multiprocessor platform. Focusing on dual-criticality systems, algorithms based on the fluid scheduling model have been proposed in the past. These algorithms use a dual-rate execution model for each high-criticality task depending on the system mode. Once the system switches to the high-criticality mode, the execution rates of such tasks are increased to meet their increased demand. Although these algorithms are speed-up optimal, they are unable to schedule several feasible dual-criticality task systems. This is because a single fixed execution rate for each high-criticality task after the mode switch is not efficient to handle the high variability in demand during the transition period immediately following the mode switch. This demand variability exists as long as the carry-over jobs of high-criticality tasks, that is jobs released before the mode switch, have not completed. Addressing this shortcoming, we propose a multi-rate fluid execution model for dual-criticality task systems in this paper. Under this model, high-criticality tasks are allocated varying execution rates in the transition period after the mode switch to efficiently handle the demand variability. We derive a sufficient schedulability test for the proposed model and show its dominance over the dual-rate fluid execution model. Further, we also present a speed-up optimal rate assignment strategy for the multi-rate model, and experimentally show that the proposed model outperforms all the existing MC scheduling algorithms with known speed-up bounds.

description: The work analyses the current debate taking place in Italy regarding the reduction of working hours. The author notes that in the debate the objectives and the tools of employment policies are often confused. Several diverse examples are offered which seem to confirm that there is no precise solution to the issue a hand. “Generalised” reductions would lead to unexpected results, and thus it is advisable to let history run its corse by reducing hours as conditions permit.
