description: The rapid rise in global CO2 emissions due to increasing demand for fossil fuels has led to the pursuit of alternative energy sources with reduced emissions for producing power. Liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic liquids have the potential to replace or augment current energy sources in cooling and power applications. This can be done by the rapid evaporation and expansion processes that occur when liquid nitrogen is injected into hotter fluids in mechanical expander systems. Earlier works in this area did not lead to any commercialised technologies. In addition, previous works did not quantify the heat transfer rates achievable when liquid nitrogen is directly immersed into a heated liquid. The potential of liquid nitrogen as a source of cold stored thermal energy has motivated this study. The expansion work achievable when liquid nitrogen is injected into a mechanical expander containing a heated liquid has been studied thermodynamically and the required heat transfer rates estimated. The evaporation process of single liquid nitrogen droplets when submerged into n-propanol, methanol, n-hexane, and n-pentane maintained at different temperatures have been investigated experimentally and numerically. The evaporation process is quantified by tracking the growth rate of the resulting nitrogen vapour bubble that has an interface with the bulk liquid. The experimental data suggest that the bubble volume growth is proportional to the time and the bubble growth rate is mainly determined by the initial droplet size. A comparison between the four different bulk liquids indicates that the evaporation rate in n-pentane is the highest, possibly due to its low surface tension. A scaling law based on the pure diffusion-controlled evaporation of droplet in an open air environment has been successfully implemented to scale the experimental data. The more detailed bubble growth rates have been modelled by a heuristic one-dimensional, quasi-steady, conduction-based model. An effective thermal conductivity has been introduced to account for the complex dynamics of the droplet inside the bubble and the subsequent convective processes in the surrounding vapour. The evaporation process of non-cryogenic droplets such as n-pentane and n-hexane when submerged into water, aqueous glycerol and glycerol maintained at different temperatures has been investigated experimentally and numerically. Three different evaporation regimes have been found for these droplets based on the superheat provided by the bulk liquid with regions of high heat transfer determined. Such regions of high heat transfer can be obtained when a spray of liquid nitrogen droplets is injected into a superheated immiscible liquid inside a mechanical expander resulting in greater utilisation of the cold stored thermal energy in liquid nitrogen thereby making such systems practical.

description: The effects of external magnetic fields on monopoles, spectra of the overlap Dirac operator, instantons, and the mass of the eta-prime meson are examined by conducting lattice QCD simulations. The uniform external magnetic fields are applied to gauge field configurations with $N_{f}$ = 2 + 1 flavor quarks. The bare quark masses are tuned in order to obtain the physical values of the pion mass and of the ratio $\frac{m_{s}}{m_{u, d}}$. Standard configurations and configurations with applied external magnetic fields are generated in the color confinement and deconfinement phases. The intensity of external magnetic fields varies from $e|B|$ = 0.57 to 1.14 [GeV$^{2}$]. To examine the influence of external magnetic fields on monopoles, we first calculate the monopole density, measure the lengths of the monopole loops and compare them with the absolute value of the Polyakov loops. Next, using the generated configurations, we compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the overlap Dirac operator, which preserves exact chiral symmetry. To investigate how external magnetic fields affect the spectra of the overlap Dirac operator, we compute spectral densities, compare fluctuations of the eigenvalues of the overlap Dirac operator with the predictions of random matrix theory, and estimate the number of instantons and anti-instantons from the topological charges. In addition, we analyze smearing effects on these observables and chiral symmetry breaking. Finally, we calculate the decay constant of the pseudoscalar meson, the chiral condensate, and the square mass of the eta-prime meson using the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. We then extrapolate the numerical results in the chiral limit and demonstrate the effects of external magnetic fields on the extrapolation results. This article presents preliminary results.

title: Neuronal dynamics governing behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans
Creators: name: Kaplan, Harris
Year: 2019

description: Tierverhalten ist eines der faszinierendsten und geheimnisvollsten Themen der Biologie. Die Erzeugung von Verhalten wird weithin als eine primäre Funktion des Nervensystems angesehen, dennoch bleibt unklar, wie das Gehirn die Bewegungen in ein angemessenes, organisiertes Verhalten koordiniert. In dieser Arbeit beschäftige ich mich damit, indem ich die unterschiedliche Hirndynamik beschreibe, die dem Verhaltensrepertoire des Fadenwurm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) zugrunde liegt. Ich habe die neuronale Aktivität während des Verhaltens mit genetisch kodierten Kalziumindikatoren aufgezeichnet, die in bestimmten neuronalen Klassen von Interesse exprimiert wurden; die Kombination dieser Ergebnisse mit Daten aus hirnweiten Aufzeichnungen der neuronalen Aktivität bei immobilisierten Tieren ergab zwei Hauptprinzipien des Nervensystems des Wurms. Erstens wird die grundlegende Handlungssequenz des Wurms durch eine niedrigdimensionale neuronale Populationsdynamik bestimmt. Dieser Befund, der aufgrund der numerischen Einfachheit des Wurmgehirns unvorhergesehen war, etablierte den Wurm als potenzielles Modellsystem für die neuronale Populationsdynamik, wie sie beispielsweise bei Insekten und Säugetieren das Verhalten beeinflussen soll. Zweitens habe ich die oben genannten Techniken mit quantitativer Verhaltensanalyse und gezielter Manipulation spezifischer neuronaler Klassen kombiniert, um zu untersuchen, wie das Gehirn das Verhalten über mehrere Zeiträume hinweg koordiniert. Meine Ergebnisse stützen eine jahrzehntelange Hypothese in der Ethologie: dass das Verhalten auf verschiedenen Zeitskalen hierarchisch organisiert ist. Diese strenge, nicht überlappende, Top-Down-Organisation wird durch verschachtelte neuronale Dynamik erreicht, im Gegensatz zu einer hierarchischen Schaltungsarchitektur. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass verschachtelte neuronale Dynamik ein wiederholtes dynamisches Motiv des C. elegans Nervensystems ist. Ähnliche Wechselwirkungen neuronaler Aktivität im Mehrzeitbereich wurden bei einer Vielzahl anderer Tiere, einschließlich Säugetiere, beschrieben, aber ihre funktionellen Folgen werden weiterhin diskutiert. Insgesamt bietet diese Arbeit eine detaillierte Darstellung der neuronalen Dynamik, die dem Verhalten von C. elegans zugrunde liegt, mit potenzieller Relevanz für die Funktion des Nervensystems im gesamten Tierreich.

title: "Videri quam esse" - Leon Battista Albertis zweites Buch der "Intercenales"
Creators: name: Rajic, Snezana
Year: 2019

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit enthält eine literaturwissenschaftlich-philologische Analyse des zweiten Buches der Intercenales des Leon Battista Alberti, das in neun kurzen Texten satirischen Tons den Umgang mit Geld thematisiert. Das erste Eingangskapitel behandelt den Autor selbst sowie seine Bedeutung für die Interpretation. Das zweite Eingangskapitel enthält einen ideengeschichtlichen Abriss über Konzepte des Umgangs mit Reichtum, der sich von der Antike (Platon, Aristoteles, Cicero, Seneca) über das Mittelalter bis in Albertis Gegenwart, das italienische Quattrocento, erstreckt. Die dort herausgearbeiteten Prinzipien sind als Hintergrundwissen der LeserInnen der Intercenales zu betrachten und beeinflussen daher die Interpretation. Das darauffolgende Kapitel enthält Detailanalysen aller neun Texte des zweiten Buches (Prohemium ad Leonardum Arretinum, Oraculum, Parsimonia, Gallus, Vaticinium, Paupertas, Nummus, Pluto, Divitie) unter Einbezug der antiken Vorbildstellen. Im letzten Kapitel folgen Ansätze über die der Anordnung der Texte zugrundeliegenden Prinzipien der Buchkomposition.
title: The influence of L1 on processing of L2 collocations in TamilEnglish bilingual children
Creators: name: Leonard, Roopa Katherene
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: The two studies in this thesis examine the activation of the L1 during the processing of L2 collocations. Models of bilingual lexical representation and access such as the Bilingual Activation Model (Dijkstra & Van Heuven, 2002) and the Multilink Model Dijkstra and Rekke (2010) posit that non-selective, cross-lingual activation is a feature of the bilingual lexicon. Following from increased research in formulaic language, this study uses online processing measures to investigate whether cross-lingual activation can be extended beyond single lexical items to collocations in bilingual children. A self-paced reading (Study 1) and an eye tracking (Study 2) experiment were conducted with Tamil-English bilingual children (age 8-11). In both studies, reading times on English collocations embedded in sentences were measured. All collocations were congruent or incongruent with collocations in Tamil. Study 1 with 58 participants was conducted in India and Study 2 with 80 participants was conducted in the UK and participants across the two studies varied substantially in their English and Tamil proficiency. All children also completed vocabulary tests (English & Tamil) and children in Study 2 also completed a questionnaire on their language background. Results clearly show that children rely on their vocabulary knowledge in L1 to aid their processing of collocations in L2 and that this L1 activation is immediate and can be captured in real time. An important finding from these studies is that the extent of L1 activation is dependent on L1 vocabulary as well as language exposure and dominance: the children in Study 1 showed a much bigger congruency effect than the children in Study 2. These findings indicate that L1 activation in bilingual children is not just for single words but goes beyond word level to collocations as well.

description: The Me 163 was a Second World War fighter airplane and a result of the German air force secret developments. One of these airplanes is currently owned and displayed in the historic aircraft exhibition of the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany. To gain insights with respect to its history, design and state of preservation, a complete CT scan was obtained using an industrial XXL-computer tomography scanner. Using the CT data from the Me 163, all its details can visually be examined at various levels, ranging from the complete hull down to single sprockets and rivets. However, while a trained human observer can identify and interpret the volumetric data with all its parts and connections, a virtual dissection of the airplane and all its different parts would be quite desirable. Nevertheless, this means, that an instance segmentation of all components and objects of interest into disjoint entities from the CT data is necessary. As of currently, no adequate computer-assisted tools for automated or semi-automated segmentation of such XXL-airplane data are available, in a first step, an interactive data annotation and object labelling process has been established. So far, seven 512 x 512 x 512 voxel sub-volumes from the Me 163 airplane have been annotated and labelled, whose results can potentially be used for various new applications in the field of digital heritage, non-destructive testing, or machine-learning. This work describes the data acquisition process of the airplane using an industrial XXL-CT scanner, outlines the interactive segmentation and labelling scheme to annotate sub-volumes of the airplane's CT data, describes and discusses various challenges with respect to interpreting and handling the annotated and labelled data.

Year: 2019

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit der Dokumentation der indigenen Anteile im nicaraguanischen Spanisch und der Frage nach ihrer tatsächlichen Verwendung in Publikationen der Gegenwart. Vor der empirischen Untersuchung wird eine Einführung in die Geschichte Nicaraguas als theoretischer Hintergrund dieser Arbeit präsentiert: Historische Entwicklungen von der präkolumbianischen Epoche über die Somoza-Diktaturen und die Sandinistische Revolution bis zur Gegenwart werden dargestellt, wobei der Fokus auf dem 20. und 21. Jahrhundert liegt. Anschließend werden die in Nicaragua vorhandenen indigenen Sprachen vorgestellt und deren differierender Stellenwert seit der Eroberung durch die Spanier diskutiert. Im empirischen Teil werden im Zuge einer Analyse von drei nicaraguanischen Wörterbüchern Transferenzen indigener Sprachen dokumentiert und mithilfe der Plattformen der „Real Academia Española“ und der „Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española” überprüft, ob ein Konsens hinsichtlich der lexikographisch als Indigenismen dargelegten Lexien besteht. Die anschließende Untersuchung von Kurzgeschichten Fernando Silvas und Berichten aus nicaraguanischen Tageszeitungen soll Aufschluss darüber geben, ob die dokumentierten Indigenismen in diesen Medien Anwendung finden. Im Rahmen dieser Forschungsarbeit konnte festgestellt werden, dass der Einfluss von Nahua-Varietäten auf das nicaraguanische Spanisch signifikant ist, während Transferenzen von Adstratsprachen wie Miskito, Sumo oder Rama in der Lexikographie bisher kaum wahrgenommen werden. Hinsichtlich Gebrauchsfrequenz konnten – im Vergleich zu den analysierten Zeitungsartikeln – in den herangezogenen Erzählungen Silvas vergleichsweise viele Indigenismen bzw. Nahualismen dokumentiert werden.

description: Let $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{h}$ be two Lie algebras with $\mathfrak{h}$ finite dimensional and consider ${\mathcal A} = {\mathcal A} (\mathfrak{h}, \, \mathfrak{g})$ to be the corresponding universal algebra as introduced in \cite{am20}. Given an ${\mathcal A}$-module $U$ and a Lie $\mathfrak{h}$-module $V$ we show that $U \otimes V$ can be naturally endowed with a Lie $\mathfrak{g}$-module structure. This gives rise to a functor between the category of Lie $\mathfrak{h}$-modules and the category of Lie $\mathfrak{g}$-modules and, respectively, to a functor between the category of ${\mathcal A}$-modules and the category of Lie $\mathfrak{g}$-modules. Under some finite dimensionality assumptions, we prove that the two functors admit left adjoints which leads to the construction of universal ${\mathcal A}$-modules and universal Lie $\mathfrak{h}$-modules as the representation theoretic counterparts of Manin-Tambara's universal coacting objects \cite{Manin, Tambara}.

Creators: name: Wais, Tatjana

description: Aktueller Identitätstheorien zufolge kann Identität als ein unabgeschlossener, heterogener Prozess verstanden werden, der angesichts moderner, pluralistischer und globalisierter Gesellschaften die Idee eines sich wandelbaren Subjekts ins Zentrum des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses rückt. Ausgehend von einem dynamischen Identitätsverständnis, das essentialistischen Identitätskonzepten gegenübersteht, werden die beiden Exilwerke Unsentimentale Reise von Albert Drach und Die Welt von Gestern von Stefan Zweig aus einer literatur- bzw. kulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive analysiert. Gegenstand dieser Forschungsarbeit bildet der Identitätsdiskurs in den literarischen Texten, da dieser paradigmatisch für ein Identitätskonzept jenseits einer deterministischen Auffassung von Identität steht. Den Erzählfiguren in den literarischen Werken liegt ein Ich zugrunde, das seine Identität durch die Krisenerfahrung des Exils problematisiert und diese vor dem Hintergrund der gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche des 20. Jahrhunderts neu konstituiert. Anhand identitätskonstitutiver Merkmale wie Reflexion, Narration und Interaktion, Alterität und Anerkennung, Erinnerung sowie Judentum wird die Konstruierbarkeit von Identität exemplarisch dargelegt.

description: We construct gradient structures for free boundary problems with nonlinear elasticity and study the impact of moving contact lines. In this context, we numerically analyze how phase-field models converge to certain sharp-interface limits when the interface thickness tends to zero $\varepsilon\to 0$. In particular, we study the scaling of the Cahn-Hilliard mobility $m(\varepsilon)=m_0\varepsilon^α$ for $0\le α\le \infty$. In the presence of interfaces, it is known that the intended sharp-interface limit is only valid for $\underlineα<α<\overlineα$. However, in the presence of moving contact lines we show that $α$ near $\underlineα$ produces significant errors.

description: Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit widmet sich der Forschungsfrage, wie Literaturunterricht das Verlernen von Rassismus anstoßen kann. Dazu wurde das Konzept der rassismuskritischen Literaturdidaktik entworfen. Die rassismuskritische Literaturdidaktik verwirrt und verändert literaturdidaktische Praktiken, Wissensbestände und Muster, indem sie einen neuen, rassismuskritischen Literaturkanon formuliert und den Methodenpool des Literaturunterrichts poststrukturalistisch modifiziert. Den Schüler_innen eröffnen sich dadurch vielfältige Möglichkeiten rassismuskritischen literarischen Lernens. Pädagog_innen fordert dieses Konzept ebenso zu dekolonisierenden Bildungsprozessen heraus und es hinterfragt ihre Denk- und Handlungsmuster im Kontext Schule. Die Möglichkeiten rassismuskritischen Literaturunterrichts wurden anhand der rassismuskritischen und literaturdidaktischen Analyse dreier Texte – „Jumping Monkey Hill“ von Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, „Der 1. Neger meines Lebens“ von Alois Brandstetter und „Selam Berlin“ von Yadé Kara – exemplarisch gezeigt.

description: One of the most important problems vexing the $Λ$CDM cosmological model is the Hubble tension. It arises from the fact that measurements of the present value of the Hubble parameter performed with low-redshift quantities, e.g., the Type IA supernova, tend to yield larger values than measurements from quantities originating at high-redshift, e.g., fits of cosmic microwave background radiation. It is becoming likely that the discrepancy, currently standing at $5σ$, is not due to systematic errors in the measurements. Here we explore whether the self-interaction of gravitational fields in General Relativity, which are traditionally neglected when studying the evolution of the universe, can explain the tension. We find that with field self-interaction accounted for, both low- and high-redshift data are simultaneously well-fitted, thereby showing that gravitational self-interaction could explain the Hubble tension. Crucially, this is achieved without introducing additional parameters.

description: We consider a variant of the hide-and-seek game in which a seeker inspects multiple hiding locations to find multiple items hidden by a hider. Each hiding location has a maximum hiding capacity and a probability of detecting its hidden items when an inspection by the seeker takes place. The objective of the seeker (resp. hider) is to minimize (resp. maximize) the expected number of undetected items. This model is motivated by strategic inspection problems, where a security agency is tasked with coordinating multiple inspection resources to detect and seize illegal commodities hidden by a criminal organization. To solve this large-scale zero-sum game, we leverage its structure and show that its mixed strategies Nash equilibria can be characterized using their unidimensional marginal distributions, which are Nash equilibria of a lower dimensional continuous zero-sum game. This leads to a two-step approach for efficiently solving our hide-and-seek game: First, we analytically solve the continuous game and compute the equilibrium marginal distributions. Second, we derive a combinatorial algorithm to coordinate the players' resources and compute equilibrium mixed strategies that satisfy the marginal distributions. We show that this solution approach computes a Nash equilibrium of the hide-and-seek game in quadratic time with linear support. Our analysis reveals a complex interplay between the game parameters and allows us to evaluate their impact on the players' behaviors in equilibrium and the criticality of each location.

description: The {\it straight-through estimator} (STE) is commonly used to optimize quantized neural networks, yet its contexts of effective performance are still unclear despite empirical successes.To make a step forward in this comprehension, we apply STE to a well-understood problem: {\it sparse support recovery}. We introduce the {\it Support Exploration Algorithm} (SEA), a novel algorithm promoting sparsity, and we analyze its performance in support recovery (a.k.a. model selection) problems. SEA explores more supports than the state-of-the-art, leading to superior performance in experiments, especially when the columns of $A$ are strongly coherent.The theoretical analysis considers recovery guarantees when the linear measurements matrix $A$ satisfies the {\it Restricted Isometry Property} (RIP).The sufficient conditions of recovery are comparable but more stringent than those of the state-of-the-art in sparse support recovery. Their significance lies mainly in their applicability to an instance of the STE.
title: Untersuchung der Penetration von dermal applizierten Substanzen mittels Raman-Spektroskopie und Entwicklung von Nanoemulsionen mit semifluorierten Alkanen

Year: 2018

description: Im Zuge dieser Arbeit wurde die Raman-Spektroskopie zur Penetrationsanalyse von SDS, SLES, DMSO und Sulfathiazol an porciner Ohrhaut eingesetzt. Zusätzlich dazu wurde die Wasserkonzentration an behandelten, unbehandelten und hydrierten Hautstellen gemessen. So wurde gezeigt, dass mit der Raman-Spektrometrie die Möglichkeit besteht den dehydrierenden Effekt von Substanzen nachzuweisen und die Dicke des Stratum corneum zu messen. Der zweite Teil dieser Arbeit beschäftigte sich mit der Herstellung, der Hautpenetration und der Stabilität von Nanoemulsionen mit semifluorierten Alkanen. Es wurden im Laufe der Stabilitätsprüfungen Partikelgröße, Polydispersitätsindex, Zetapotenzial, rheologische Eigenschaften und pH-Wert untersucht. Zudem wurde die Hautpenetration von F6H8 und Diclofenac-Natrium mittels NMR und HPLC untersucht.

description: In this study, we aim to see how much the actual measurement of the Z+photon and di-photon signal strength, $\mugaga$ and $\mugaZ$, could influence the allowed parameter space of the Inert Doublet Model (IDM), and to what extent such measurement can be aligned with the latest bound from XENON1T experiment on the spin-independent dark-matter-nucleon scattering cross-section. Also, by considering the new embedded scalars in the IDM (i.e., $H$, $A$, and $H^\pm$), a wide investigation of the one-loop radiative corrections to the trilinear Higgs coupling $hhh$ has been made in the light of the previous measurements.
