The performance evaluation of Geant4-based simulation in SK-Gd experiment
Creators: name: Sakai, Seiya
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: In July 2020, Super-Kamiokande (SK) loaded 0.011% of gadolinium to enhance the detection efficiency of neutron signals and restarted the observation as “SK-Gd experiment”. One of the purpose of SK-Gd experiment is understanding the supernova mechanism as well as the star formation history by detecting Supernova Relic Neutrinos (SRNs). To detect SRNs in SK-Gd experiment, it is necessary to estimate atmospheric neutrino backgrounds using a simulation with a more accurate neutron transport model. For the reason, Geant4-based detector simulation program was developed and now we are proceeding the performance evaluation of it. In this poster, we report the results of the comparisons of basic distributions for the particles, whose energy is the order of GeV, from the Geant4-based simulation program with the current SK official GEANT3-based simulation results.

Study of Charge and Light Correlation in Electron Beam Energy Response of DUNE prototype ProtoDUNE-SP LArTPC
Creators: name: Zelimir Djurcic
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a cutting-edge experiment for neutrino science and proton decay studies. The single-phase liquid argon prototype detector at CERN (ProtoDUNE-SP) is a crucial milestone for DUNE that will inform the construction and operation of the first, and possibly subsequent 17-kt DUNE far detector modules. We have studied the response of DUNE LArTPC prototype detector ProtoDUNE-SP to test beam positrons via both ionization and scintillation signals. We searched for (anti) correlation between fluctuations of both scintillation and ionization in liquid argon, on event-by-event basis. Preliminary results reveal anti-correlated statistical fluctuation between scintillation and ionization in liquid argon.
LOUISA CATHERINE JOHNSON ADAMS: THE PRICE OF AMBITION
Creators: name: Challinor, Joan Ridder
Publisher: name: American University

description: This biography rescues from obscurity one of the least known members of the Adams family, Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams (1775-1852). Married in 1797 to John Quincy Adams, her three long memoirs, letters, and other writings are virtually unknown. Yet from her life we can learn much: about the lives of women whose personalities were at variance with dictates of the culture; about the dynamics of the Adams family; about the distaff side of the United States diplomatic corps; and about the strains placed upon politicians' families. This work examines the first half of Louisa's life from 1775 to 1817. Raised in London in an Anglo-American mercantile family, she served with her husband at three courts: Prussia, Russia, and Great Britain. Four of her eight years in America from 1801 to 1809, she was the wife of a United States Senator. By 1817 she was probably the most travelled and sophisticated woman in America, and John Quincy's appointment as Secretary of State put within reach his, and her, ultimate goal--the Presidency. Louisa's psychological life was bounded by ambition, denial, and guilt. She denied a strong ambition because her times prohibited assertive women. Wracked by guilt because she thought the world assumed she and her parents had lured John Quincy into marriage with an impoverished girl, she denied what was essentially her own accusation. She disclaimed her delight in social events in conformity to her husband's stern republicanism. Angry because his career forced her to choose between her husband and children, she felt guilty at either choice. Louisa could never pay with grace the exactions her goal demanded. Forced by the culture to deflect her strivings on to her husband, Louisa could not face herself honestly. So insecure was Louisa that she wrote one memoir to let the world know that she existed. Since many women of her era also failed to find outlets for strong, yet prohibited, feelings, historians may find important clues to women's tensions in nineteenth-century America. Unheeded in her own lifetime, overlooked by modern historians, Louisa is here given the attention she deserves.
title: Die Religion innerhalb der Grenzen der politischen Vernunft
Creators: name: Kränzel, Boris
Year: 2019

description: Die Arbeit nimmt eine Rekonstruktion der Staats- und Religionskritik vor, die Marx in seinem frühen Text „Zur Judenfrage“ entwickelt. Auf der Grundlage einer Erörterung der Tex-te Bruno Bauers, auf die sich Marx’ Replik in kritischer Absicht bezieht, wird der Nachweis ge-führt, dass Marx’ Argumentation nur dann angemessen verstanden werden kann, wenn man der Dialektik des Allgemeinen und des Besonderen Rechnung trägt, die den Gebrauch seiner Begrif-fe reglementiert. Insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Frage nach der emanzipativen Kraft der poli-tischen Revolution, die den Kern der marxschen Auseinandersetzung mit Bauer bildet, zeigt sich, dass Marx’ Vorgehen in „Zur Judenfrage“ in der Hauptsache darin besteht, die Dialektik zur Darstellung zu bringen, welche sich in der modernen Welt zwischen politischem Staat einerseits und bürgerlicher Gesellschaft andererseits entspinnt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legt die Arbeit auf die Fragen nach dem Materialismus, der in „Zur Judenfrage“ zum Tragen kommt, und nach den spekulativen Momenten der marxschen Dialektik. Dabei zeigt sich, dass der Begriff der „weltlichen Wirklichkeit“ aus einer dialektischen Bewegung hervorgeht, die einerseits, insofern sie auf eine spekulative Einheit drängt, unvereinbar ist mit allen einseitigen Ontologien und die andererseits, insofern sie in einen verallgemeinerten Begriff der Materie mündet, sich nichts-destoweniger als materialistisch qualifizieren lässt. Die weltliche Wirklichkeit, von der Marx in „Zur Judenfrage“ spricht, erweist sich auf diese Weise als das Resultat einer materialistischen Dialektik.

title: Die Finanztransaktionssteuer im europäischen Integrationsprozess
Creators: name: Schächter, Doris
Year: 2018

description: Im Jahr 2011 legte die Europaische Kommission einen ersten Richtlinienvorschlag für die Einführung einer europäischen Finanztransaktionssteuer vor. Zunächst sollte die Finanztransaktionssteuer unionsweit eingeführt werden. Als dies am Widerstand einiger Mitgliedstaaten scheiterte, begannen Verhandlungen im Rahmen der Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit, an denen sich zunächst elf Mitgliedstaaten beteiligten. Bisher konnte jedoch keine Einigung über die Einführung der Finanztransaktionssteuer erzielt werden. Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es zu erklären, warum sowohl die Verhandlungen um eine unionsweite Finanztransaktionssteuer, als auch die Verhandlungen mithilfe des Mechanismus der Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit nicht erfolgreich abgeschlossen werden konnten. Zudem soll analysiert werden, ob sich aus den Verhandlungen um die Finanztransaktionssteuer prinzipielle Schwächen des Mechanismus der Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit ableiten lassen. Um die Forschungsfragen zu beantworten, wurde eine qualitative Textanalyse von Primär- und Sekundärliteratur durchgeführt. Für die Analyse des Verhandlungsverlaufs von 2011 bis 2017 wurden vor allem die Veröffentlichungen des täglich erscheinenden Nachrichtenbulletins ,Agence Europe‘ verwendet. Die Analyse des Verhandlungsverlaufs zeigt, dass zwischen den jeweiligen Mitgliedstaaten kein Konsens über die Einführung einer Finanztransaktionssteuer hergestellt werden konnte. An den Verhandlungen im Rahmen der Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit nahmen nur Mitgliedstaaten teil, die grundsätzlich eine Finanztransaktionssteuer einführen wollten. Dennoch konnten die teilnehmenden Mitgliedstaaten keine Einigung erreichen. Ursächlich hierfür waren neben den unterschiedlichen Präferenzen der Mitgliedstaaten sowohl der Zeitfaktor als auch die spezifische Verhandlungskonstellation und die geringe Erfahrung mit Verhandlungen im Rahmen der Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit. Eine prinzipielle Schwäche im Mechanismus der Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit konnte im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit jedoch nicht festgestellt werden.

Status of the nEXO Outer Detector Design
Creators: name: Ross, Regan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The nEXO experiment is being designed to search for neutrino-less double beta decay (0νββ) in a time projection chamber (TPC) filled with 5000 kg of liquid xenon-136. Extremely low background conditions are necessary to achieve the > 1028-year sensitivity reach to the 0νββ half life. nEXO anticipates construction at a depth of approximately 2 km underground at SNOLAB where the flux from cosmic ray muons is greatly diminished. However, muon-induced neutrons are still of concern as they create background events through the production of Xe-137 in the TPC. The mitigation of this background is to be achieved by immersing the TPC in a cylindrical water tank instrumented with photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in order to actively detect the Cherenkov light of passing muons (muon veto system). The water tank also passively shields the TPC against incident gamma-rays coming from the local U and Th decays. Together, the water tank and the muon veto system make up the nEXO Outer Detector (OD). In this poster, we will focus on the work that has been done to design the OD. Of particular relevance are the GEANT4 and GPU-based Chroma simulations and studies performed to determine the dimensions of the water tank, the arrangement of PMTs, the reflectivity of internal surfaces, the requirements for the water quality, the cover gas layer, the tagging efficiency, and the muon veto overall impact on the nEXO sensitivity. In addition we describe the plans and status of a dedicated facility to test, characterize, and select the Hamamatsu R-5912 PMTs to be repurposed from the Data Bay reactor neutrino experiment.
title: Der ambrosianische Ritus
Creators: name: Heissenberger, Julian Anton
Year: 2018

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem ambrosianischen Ritus, der bis in die heutige Zeit im Erzdiözese Mailand, seinen Suffragandiözesen und einigen angrenzenden Gebieten neben dem römischen Ritus praktiziert wird. Die Arbeit versucht vor allem basierend auf dem Missale Ambrosianum von 1981 und dem deutschsprachigen Messbuch von 1975 und den dazugehörigen liturgischen Büchern, der Leserin bzw. dem Leser einen Einblick in diesen Ri-tus, in seine Entwicklung durch die Geschichte und in seine Besonderheiten zu geben. So geht es in der ersten Hälfte mehr um die Frage: Welche Hinweise gibt es, dass Ambrosius wirklich der Initiator des namensgleichen Ritus ist. Welche Per-sonen und Konzilien haben außer Ambrosius noch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Entwicklung und Erhaltung beigetragen? In der zweiten Hälfte finden wir eine detaillierte Beschreibung des Messablaufs mit einigen Hinweisen auf Besonderheiten. Die Liturgiesprachen dieses Ritus sind Italienisch und Latein, was bei der Zusammenstellung eine kleine Hürde darstellte. Ambrosianischen Riten, welche uns im deutschsprachigen Raum nicht bekannt sind, wurde eine deutschsprachige Beschreibung zu geben. Durch Gegenüberstellungen und Vergleiche wurde versucht, auch Personen, die wenig mit der theologischen Materie vertraut sind, Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede deutlich zu machen.
description: This paper deals with the Ambrosian Rite, which – as well as the Roman Rite - has been practised in the Archdiocese Milan, its suffragan dioceses und some neighbouring areas up to now. The research tries to give its readers an insight into this rite, its historical devel-opment and peculiarities. First, it is based on the Missale Ambrosianum of 1918 and the 1979’s German missal, as well as its additional liturgic books. The first part deals with the questions: Which hints are there to prove that Am-brosius initiated the rite known under his name? Apart from Ambrosius, who and which councils contributed to the development and preservation of it? Secondly, a detailed description of the order of mass and its peculiarities are found. The liturgic languages of the rite are Italian and Latin, which caused some obstacles when composing the paper. A German description of the Am-brosian Rites that are unknown in German-speaking regions is added. By the means of contrast and comparison, also those who are not theological experts can get familiar with the similarities and differences.

Type deposition. Female type probably lost.
Remarks. This species was described based on a female from Passer domesticus (Linnaeus) (Passeridae) from Italy (Berlese & Trouessart 1889; Berlese 1893, 1894). Later on, a single male of this species was recorded and redescribed from Passer domesticus in Belgium (Fain 1972; Fain et al. 1999). It was also collected from Passer domesticus, Luscinia svecica (Linnaeus) (Muscicapidae), and Emberiza citrinella Linnaeus (Emberizidae) by Moss (1979—localities were not provided). Records from Luscinia svecica and Emberiza citrinella need in confirmation because mites from the former host are not represented in the Moss collection at OSAL and those from Emberiza citrinella are in too poor condition. Lombert & Moss (1983) mistakenly mentioned H. holopus as the type species of the genus Harpypalpus. The female of this species needs redescription.

title: Loss, Repetition and the Everyday

description: My doctoral research aims to explore artistic obsession through repetitive documentation of the domestic and the everyday. Drawing upon the resources of my cultural heritage, I experiment with synthesizing cross-cultural and cross­ historical forms. Through theoretical research and creative practice, I use photography,  large-scale installations, moving image projections and two­ dimensional visual images (paintings, drawings and prints) to articulate my relationship to family and memories. Starting with research into masters of the moving image such as Andrei Tarkovsky, photographers of the American 'underclass'  Robert Franks, and installation artists Mona Hatoum and Yayoi Kusama, I articulate my own relationship to family and memory through various mediums in my practice. My varied cultural background - Taiwan, Japan, the US, the UK - as well as my personal experiences, are the basis of my exploration of still photography and the moving image, particularly as projected onto objects and environments, and my development of large-scale installations and two-dimensional works.

Through further research into historical painting and printmaking traditions, and contemporary visual artist On Kawara, I explore the tensions and exchanges between the aesthetic concerns of 'east' and 'west' which became the most significant resource for my works. I take inspiration from my culture, background, memories, a traumatised childhood in Taiwan and Japan; my early adulthood in the US and this last decade in UK. These experiences and memories are the fertile ground for my art practice. Art practice allows me to bring new energy to the burden of memories and dealing with loss, to make sense of the world and of myself. Although the content of my work seems personal, loss is a universal human experience.

Throughout the last two decades I have been writing, drawing and taking photos. These activities become my research tools for my practice. Like an archaeologist, I take inspiration directly from the accumulation of these primary research materials, I then develop them into projects with various mediums. I believe through the process of documenting life as it happens, new works will organically develop. I find narratives of human nature in these developed materials.

I believe artists' ultimate responsibility is to reveal universal truths through exploring their lives and experiences.
Development of pulse shape discrimination (PSD) for removing fast neutrons in the JSNS2

Year: 2022

description: The J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source (JSNS2) experiment has started in 2020. We took data with long physics run from 2021 to present and several analyses with the data are on-going. From the analyses, we found that the largest background is coming from fast neutrons induced by cosmic rays. In order to reduce the background, we dissolved diisopropyl-naphthalene (DIN) in the Gd-loaded liquid scintillator (GdLS) by 10% of weight and we started to develop an effective pulse shape discrimination (PSD) algorithm. The current PSD capability is as follows: the rejection power of fast neutron is more than 95 % while the signal efficiency is more than 90 %. In this presentation, details of hardware development, methodology of PSD and PSD capability will be described.
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT OF SERIOUSLY EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED LATENCY AGE CHILDREN AND THEIR SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENT: A FOLLOW-UP STUDY
Creators: name: Lohnes, Burton H.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 390411
subject: Special education and disability

description: The purpose of the study was to identify factors that predict what children have the greatest potential of benefiting from the type of residential treatment program offered by The Christ Child Institute for Children (The Center). The Center operates 365 days per year providing a psychoeducational environment for severely emotionally disturbed boys and girls ages 5-12. The subjects for the study were the 99 students who could be located from the 116 who had been discharged from the Center's residential program between January 1, 1970 and Jauary 1, 1980. The discharged population consisted of 27 black and 48 white males, along with 17 black and 24 white females. The age of the students upon admission ranged from 4.8 years to 11.1 years with a mean age of 7.9 years and a standard deviation of 1.6 years. The average length of stay was 2.2 years with a standard deviation of .9 years and a range of between .5 years and 4.11 years. An ex post facto design was employed using presenting psychopathology, mainstreaming, race and intelligence as independent variables and recidivism as the dependent variable. Information on the independent variables was collected from the permanent medical records at The Center. The data on recidivism was gathered by phone calls or personal contact with the discharged patient, their parents, or significant others. The chi-square statistic was utilized to analyze the data obtained. The .05 level was used to determine significant results. The mainstreaming variable was significantly related to recidivism (p<.05) while the other variables (presenting psychopathology, race, and intelligence) were not. The length of time between a student's discharge from The Center and the period during which the study was conducted was found to be independent of recidivism (p>.05) and, consequently, did not contaminate the results. It was recommended that The Center's staff examine their mainstreaming program with expansion in mind. A careful determination of what program modifications and additional supports would be necessary to enable more residential students to attend local public schools was suggested.

description: The purpose of the study was to identify factors that predict what children have the greatest potential of benefiting from the type of residential treatment program offered by The Christ Child Institute for Children (The Center). The Center operates 365 days per year providing a psychoeducational environment for severely emotionally disturbed boys and girls ages 5-12. The subjects for the study were the 99 students who could be located from the 116 who had been discharged from the Center's residential program between January 1, 1970 and Jauary 1, 1980. The discharged population consisted of 27 black and 48 white males, along with 17 black and 24 white females. The age of the students upon admission ranged from 4.8 years to 11.1 years with a mean age of 7.9 years and a standard deviation of 1.6 years. The average length of stay was 2.2 years with a standard deviation of .9 years and a range of between .5 years and 4.11 years. An ex post facto design was employed using presenting psychopathology, mainstreaming, race and intelligence as independent variables and recidivism as the dependent variable. Information on the independent variables was collected from the permanent medical records at The Center. The data on recidivism was gathered by phone calls or personal contact with the discharged patient, their parents, or significant others. The chi-square statistic was utilized to analyze the data obtained. The .05 level was used to determine significant results. The mainstreaming variable was significantly related to recidivism (p<.05) while the other variables (presenting psychopathology, race, and intelligence) were not. The length of time between a student's discharge from The Center and the period during which the study was conducted was found to be independent of recidivism (p>.05) and, consequently, did not contaminate the results. It was recommended that The Center's staff examine their mainstreaming program with expansion in mind. A careful determination of what program modifications and additional supports would be necessary to enable more residential students to attend local public schools was suggested.

A STUDY OF A PARENT TRAINING PROGRAM AND THE PERCEPTIONS OF LEARNING DISABLED CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS TOWARDS EACH OTHER
Creators: name: Armstrong-Hugg, Robin Lee
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In recent years, substantial attention has been paid to the influence of parents on various aspects of their children's development. Although this influence is widely accepted, there has been increasing recognition that children also have an effect on their parents' behaviors and attitudes. Research in either of these areas, as they relate to families of learning disabled (LD) children, has been relatively sparse. The socio-emotional aspects of a learning disability can impact on the entire family, perpetuating a cycle of misunderstanding and failure; this possibility necessitates the development of systematic research on this population. This study investigated the effects of an innovative parent training program on the behavioral perceptions of LD children and their parents. The parent training was aimed at strengthening the parents' teaching and parenting behavior, thereby influencing their children's behavior and achievement. Seventeen parents and their LD children from the District of Columbia Public Schools voluntarily participated in the parent training program. This study was designed as a pre-experimental pre-test post-test pilot study. It attempted to identify questions which could be examined in future research using a more structured experimental design. Interrelated scales for child-behavior and parent-behavior were developed for this study and a Q-sort technique was used to measure the perceptions of LD children and their parents. Non-parametric statistical techniques were used to analyze the results of the four research hypotheses. It was hypothesized that the LD children's perceptions of parent behavior, as well as the parents' perceptions of child behavior, would be more positive after parent involvement in the training program. Less discrepancy between the perceptions of the parents and children was also expected after intervention. The results indicated that the parent training program had a positive impact on the parent-child relationship. Both parents and children experienced significantly more positive feelings toward each other after six months of involvement. The prediction of greater congruence between the perceptions of parents and children was not supported by the findings of this study. In fact, the parents and their LD children were found to have very similar perceptions of their own and each other's behavior from the beginning. Recommendations for further research in the area were also outlined.
title: Blutsaugende Bremsen in Österreich und ihre medizinische Relevanz
Creators: name: Vogler, Manuel
Year: 2019

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit war es, die heimischen Arten der Familie der Ta-banidae (Diptera) sowie ihre medizinische Bedeutung als Blutsauger und Vektoren näher zu beleuchten. Zu diesem Zweck wurden mittels extensiver Literaturrecherche verschiedene Themenbereiche behandelt. Das erste Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit der Begriffsentwicklung im Altgriechischen, Lateinischen sowie im germanischen Sprachraum. Im zweiten Kapitel wird der aktuelle Stand der Systematik und Taxonomie der Familie skizziert. Das dritte Kapitel behandelt umfassend den Lebenszyklus, das Verhalten, die Morphologie und die Physiologie der Bremsen. Beson-derer Bedacht wird dabei auf die Mundwerkzeuge und die körperlichen Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Wirtsfindung gelegt. Letzteres schließt den Aufbau und die Funktionsweise der Komplexaugen mit ein. Das vierte Kapitel umfasst eine praktische Untersuchung zu den in verschiedenen Gegenden Österreichs in alltäglicher Umgebung häufig anzutreffenden Brem-senarten. Das fünfte Kapitel beinhaltet eine Auflistung und Beschreibung aller in Österreich einheimischen Arten sowie solcher, die in benachbarten Ländern heimisch sind und somit auch hier angetroffen werden könnten. Im sechsten und letzten Kapitel erfolgte eine Bearbeitung der durch Bremsen übertragbaren Krankheitserreger, welche in Mitteleuropa für die Human- und Veterinärmedizin relevant sind. Allergische Reaktionen und Abwehrmaßnahmen werden ebenfalls besprochen.

description: The paper aims to investigate sustainable lighting technology for Malaysia highways to reduce the power consumption, the carbon emission and to create a healthy environment for the future generations. This can be achieved through the replacement of the existing conventional High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) lighting system with the (LED) lighting system. The study focused on the identification and calculation of the electrical power consumption and life cycle cost for both lighting systems. The results of cost and consumption are analysed by comparing both types to determine the energy and economic benefits of (LED) adoption in Malaysia highways. The method used in data collection is gathered from manufacturer-lighting specification, as well as from questionnaire of highway concessionaire of Malaysia. Results of utilization of LED have shown that the percentage of saving energy reaches 50-60 % and 70-80 % reduction in life cycle cost compared to the HPS. The project return on investment has been estimated to be 2.39 y. The implementation of LED will reduce 6.6 % of the total electrical consumption in Malaysia since the highway lighting systems consumption represent 12.1 % of the total electricity consumption in Malaysia. Furthermore, the reduction in Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emission will drop by 50-60 % since the emission from electricity consumed for highway lighting system represent 12 % of the total emission in Malaysia. Finally, the investigation and findings are of major benefit to Malaysian highway that can assist the decision maker to choose the most sustainable and green option.

description: In this work, we study the non-classical nature of neutrino oscillations by considering open quantum system dynamics. In this context, we consider non-local advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) as a measure of nonclassicality to discriminate between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. We observe that in the presence of decoherence, NAQC parameter takes different values for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos thus making it a promising quantifier to identify the nature of neutrinos.
