description: Die Intention dieser Diplomarbeit ist die Aufgabe der Bildung von Jugendlichen, aus der Sicht der transzendentalkritischen-skeptischen Pädagogik zu beleuchten. Es werden Grundlagen des Erziehens und Unterrichtens dargelegt, welche PädagogInnen bedenken sollen, wenn sie dieser Aufgabe gerecht werden wollen. Anfangs werden kurz die Elemente der Disziplinarität dargelegt um besser nachzuvollziehen zu können, welche Elemente eine Perspektive grundsätzlich beeinflussen. Denn im weiteren Verlauf wird pro Kapitel „Jugend“ aus der Perspektive einer wissenschaftlichen Disziplin beschrieben. Schließlich werden im Hauptteil Aspekte von diesen, durch eine kritische Auseinandersetzung, für den Vergleich mit der pädagogischen Sichtweise herangezogen. Während meiner Diplomarbeit ließ sich feststellen, dass Pädagogik über die Erkenntnisse der biologischen, soziologischen sowie psychologischen Disziplin hinausgehen muss, wenn sie die Aufgabe der Bildung erfüllen will.
description: The intention of this diploma project is to declare the responsibility of young people´s literacy according to transcendental-critical paedagogy. The basis of education and teaching, which should be considered by educators who want to take their responsibility seriously, will be exposed. At first the elements of disciplinarity are being outlined for a better understanding of how a perspective can be influenced in general. Subsequently each chapter will describe “youth” from another perspective of different scientific disciplines. Finally essential aspects of these perspectives will be used by a critical analysis for a comparison with the paedagogical point of view. In general it became apparent, that the science of paedagogy goes beyond the perceptions of biology, psychology and sociology if educators want to fulfill their responsibility for literacy according to their own requirements.

description: The geometry of the weak stability boundary region for the planar restricted three-body problem about the secondary mass point has been an open problem. Previous studies have conjectured that it may have a fractal structure. In this paper, this region is studied for infinitely many cycles about the secondary mass point, instead of a finite number studied previously. It is shown that in this case the boundary consists of a family of infinitely many Cantor sets and is thus fractal in nature. It is also shown that on two-dimensional surfaces of section, it is the boundary of a region only having bounded cycling motion for infinitely many cycles, while the complement of this region generally has unbounded motion. It is shown that that this shares many properties of a Mandelbrot set. Its relationship to the non-existence of KAM tori is described, among many other properties. Applications are discussed.

FUTURE OF WIRELESS SENSOR SYSTEM-ON-CHIPS: VOLTAGE-BASED VS. TIME-BASED SENSING TECHNIQUES
Creators: name: Hu, Huan
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2023

description: Future wearable and implantable medical devices require energy harvesters to relax the stringent system power budget and realize unlimited device lifetime. CMOS wireless sensor SoCs that directly operate under various energy harvesters are in urgent demand to avoid the efficiency loss during traditional voltage boosting. Contrary to a voltage-based system, time-based circuit decouples the need for high gain amplifier and promises to be highly compatible with ultra-low voltage operation. In this thesis, we focus on exploring ultra-low voltage design techniques for both voltage- and time-domain readout. In the voltage-domain readout, an energy-efficient low noise instrumentation amplifier (LNIA) is introduced with a unique class-AB biased inverter-based amplifier stage and a built-in ripple reduction loop. An ultra- low power successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR-ADC) and a temperature-compensated relaxation oscillator are also implemented on-chip. In the time-domain readout, a current-controlled relaxation oscillator replaces the ring oscillator to realize a single-bit noise shaping direct sensor-to-digital front-end with enhanced linearity. The time-domain calibration loop (TDCL) presented in this thesis mitigates the high signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) sensitivity related to the KVCO variation. Lastly, an ultra-low power mostly-digital 915 MHz frequency multiplication transmitter (TX) with injection locking (IL) technique is introduced. The reference spur due to IL is remedied by a real-time phase correction loop combined with a notch filter. All three implementations are verified with fabricated silicon while achieving state-of-the-art performance. Measured with a biofuel cell-based natural energy harvester, the LNIA consumes 3.09 uW power while achieving a noise efficiency factor and power efficiency factor of 1.63 and 1.46, respectively. The time-domain readout consumes a total power of 0.22 uW with an SNDR of 63.2 dB. The SNDR variation is measured to be only 1.7 dB with more than 50% supply variation with the help of the TDCL. Operating under on-off-keying, the TX consumes an average power of 200.9 uW with a data rate of 3 Mb/s achieving an energy efficiency of 66.97 pJ/bit.

description: Many neuroactive steroids potently and allosterically modulate pentameric ligand-gated ion channels, including GABAA receptors (GABAAR) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Allopregnanolone and its synthetic analog alphaxalone are GABAAR-positive allosteric modulators (PAMs), whereas alphaxalone and most neuroactive steroids are nAChR inhibitors. In this report, we used 11β-(p-azidotetrafluorobenzoyloxy)allopregnanolone (F4N3Bzoxy-AP), a general anesthetic and photoreactive allopregnanolone analog that is a potent GABAAR PAM, to characterize steroid-binding sites in the Torpedo α2βγδ nAChR in its native membrane environment. We found that F4N3Bzoxy-AP (IC50 = 31 μm) is 7-fold more potent than alphaxalone in inhibiting binding of the channel blocker [3H]tenocyclidine to nAChRs in the desensitized state. At 300 μm, neither steroid inhibited binding of [3H]tetracaine, a closed-state selective channel blocker, or of [3H]acetylcholine. Photolabeling identified three distinct [3H]F4N3Bzoxy-AP-binding sites in the nAChR transmembrane domain: 1) in the ion channel, identified by photolabeling in the M2 helices of βVal-261 and δVal-269 (position M2-13'); 2) at the interface between the αM1 and αM4 helices, identified by photolabeling in αM1 (αCys-222/αLeu-223); and 3) at the lipid-protein interface involving γTrp-453 (M4), a residue photolabeled by small lipophilic probes and promegestone, a steroid nAChR antagonist. Photolabeling in the ion channel and αM1 was higher in the nAChR-desensitized state than in the resting state and inhibitable by promegestone. These results directly indicate a steroid-binding site in the nAChR ion channel and identify additional steroid-binding sites also occupied by other lipophilic nAChR antagonists.

description: Attracting and retaining a steady stream of new contributors is crucial to ensuring the long-term survival of open-source software (OSS) projects. However, there are two key research gaps regarding recommendations for onboarding new contributors to OSS projects. First, most of the existing recommendations are based on a limited number of projects, which raises concerns about their generalizability. If a recommendation yields conflicting results in a different context, it could hinder a newcomer's onboarding process rather than help them. Second, it's unclear whether these recommendations also apply to experienced contributors. If certain recommendations are specific to newcomers, continuing to follow them after their initial contributions are accepted could hinder their chances of becoming long-term contributors. To address these gaps, we conducted a two-stage mixed-method study. In the first stage, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and identified 15 task-related actionable recommendations that newcomers to OSS projects can follow to improve their odds of successful onboarding. In the second stage, we conduct a large-scale empirical study of five Gerrit-based projects and 1,155 OSS projects from GitHub to assess whether those recommendations assist newcomers' successful onboarding. Our results suggest that four recommendations positively correlate with newcomers' first patch acceptance in most contexts. Four recommendations are context-dependent, and four indicate significant negative associations for most projects. Our results also found three newcomer-specific recommendations, which OSS joiners should abandon at non-newcomer status to increase their odds of becoming long-term contributors.
AN INVESTIGATION OF OZONE VARIABILITY AND ASSOCIATED UNCERTAINTIES OVER HIGH NORTHERN LATITUDES

description: Ozone is influenced by various dynamical and chemical processes over the northern high latitudes. Moreover, as an important trace gas, ozone variability over the Artic modulates global climate, influences surface temperature, and impacts tropospheric weather regimes. Despite the critical importance of ozone, the uncertainties and sparsity in the datasets hinder many studies at high latitudes. This dissertation provides a comprehensive investigation of ozone over the northern high latitudes using various types of observations. Using the long record of in situ measurements, the seasonality, variability, and trends of ozone are analyzed at four high latitude sites. The contribution of various dynamical variables on deseasonalized ozone fluctuations is investigated using stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results indicate the critical importance of residual circulations and associated parameters on Arctic ozone. Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are the most significant disruptions of residual circulation and consequently dramatically influence the ozone over the Arctic. A comprehensive comparison of the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) ozone data to ground-based remote sensing data and in situ observations during the SSWs shows the capability of MERRA-2 in capturing ozone variation in the middle stratosphere but indicate higher uncertainties at lower atmospheric levels. The impact of six major SSWs from 2004 to 2020 on ozone in the middle stratosphere over high northern latitudes is analyzed using MERRA-2. The results show a strong connection between the structure of the polar vortex and the impact of SSWs on Arctic ozone. The investigation of dynamical parameters emphasizes the key role of vertical advection in ozone fluctuations in the middle stratosphere during the SSWs. To mitigate the higher uncertainties of MERRA-2 and satellite ozone estimates in the lower atmosphere, a retrieval framework using emission Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) interferometer is developed to estimate ozone over Summit Station, Greenland. A climatology of MERRA-2 uncertainties is derived using the ozonesonde observations and is used to focus the retrieval on atmospheric layers with the largest uncertainties. The retrieved ozone amounts improved the prior information from MERRA-2 below 10 km in comparison to ozonesondes.

description: This work expands on our recently introduced low Mach enthalpy method [1] for simulating the melting and solidification of a phase change material (PCM) alongside (or without) an ambient gas phase. The method captures PCM's volume change (shrinkage or expansion) by accounting for density change-induced flows. We present several improvements to the original work. First, we introduce consistent time integration schemes for the mass, momentum, and enthalpy equations, which enhance the method stability. Demonstrating the effectiveness of this scheme, we show that a system free of external forces and heat sources can conserve its initial mass, momentum, enthalpy, and phase composition. This allows the system to transition from a non-isothermal, non-equilibrium, phase-changing state to an isothermal, equilibrium state without exhibiting unrealistic behavior. Furthermore, we show that the low Mach enthalpy method accurately simulates thermocapillary flows without introducing spurious phase changes. We propose an analytical model to validate advanced CFD codes for simulating metal manufacturing processes like welding and 3D printing. These processes involve a heat source melting metal or alloy in an inert gas environment. Traditionally, validation relied on manipulating material properties to match complex experiments. Our model uses the Stefan problem with a density jump to provide a straightforward method for validating multiphysics simulations involving heat sources and phase changes in three-phase flows.Lastly, we demonstrate the practical utility of the method in modeling porosity defects (gas bubble trapping) during metal solidification. A field extension technique is used to accurately apply surface tension forces in a three-phase flow situation. This is where part of the bubble surface is trapped within the (moving) solidification front.

description: The performance of object detection systems in automotive solutions must be as high as possible, with minimal response time and, due to the often battery-powered operation, low energy consumption. When designing such solutions, we therefore face challenges typical for embedded vision systems: the problem of fitting algorithms of high memory and computational complexity into small low-power devices. In this paper we propose PowerYOLO - a mixed precision solution, which targets three essential elements of such application. First, we propose a system based on a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS), a novel sensor, that offers low power requirements and operates well in conditions with variable illumination. It is these features that may make event cameras a preferential choice over frame cameras in some applications. Second, to ensure high accuracy and low memory and computational complexity, we propose to use 4-bit width Powers-of-Two (PoT) quantisation for convolution weights of the YOLO detector, with all other parameters quantised linearly. Finally, we embrace from PoT scheme and replace multiplication with bit-shifting to increase the efficiency of hardware acceleration of such solution, with a special convolution-batch normalisation fusion scheme. The use of specific sensor with PoT quantisation and special batch normalisation fusion leads to a unique system with almost 8x reduction in memory complexity and vast computational simplifications, with relation to a standard approach. This efficient system achieves high accuracy of mAP 0.301 on the GEN1 DVS dataset, marking the new state-of-the-art for such compressed model.

description: In recent years there has been a growing interest in event cameras, i.e. vision sensors that record changes in illumination independently for each pixel. This type of operation ensures that acquisition is possible in very adverse lighting conditions, both in low light and high dynamic range, and reduces average power consumption. In addition, the independent operation of each pixel results in low latency, which is desirable for robotic solutions. Nowadays, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), along with general-purpose processors (GPPs/CPUs) and programmable graphics processing units (GPUs), are popular architectures for implementing and accelerating computing tasks. In particular, their usefulness in the embedded vision domain has been repeatedly demonstrated over the past 30 years, where they have enabled fast data processing (even in real-time) and energy efficiency. Hence, the combination of event cameras and reconfigurable devices seems to be a good solution, especially in the context of energy-efficient real-time embedded systems. This paper gives an overview of the most important works, where FPGAs have been used in different contexts to process event data. It covers applications in the following areas: filtering, stereovision, optical flow, acceleration of AI-based algorithms (including spiking neural networks) for object classification, detection and tracking, and applications in robotics and inspection systems. Current trends and challenges for such systems are also discussed.

description: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a complex, significant pathogen that affects a majority of the globe. There is no cure nor effective vaccine currently available. Treatment relies on antivirals, primarily the nucleoside analogue acyclovir. Viruses resistant to acyclovir have developed and new therapies are needed. Targeting a cellular process instead of a viral process offers the attractive advantage of potentially avoiding the development of resistance. Targeting viral entry for intervention offers the advantage of potentially avoiding viral establishment of latency. HSV requires the proteasome for either pH-dependent endocytic entry or pH-neutral plasma membrane entry. HSV requires glycoproteins B, D, H, and L (gB, gD, gH/gL) for fusion with a cellular membrane. Glycoprotein C (gC) has been implicated in aiding the regulation of fusion via gB. Both gB and gC bind heparan sulfate (HS) on the cell surface. Here, we investigate two avenues of potential targets for intervention in HSV entry: 1) The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and 2) the contribution of HS to viral entry and fusion. We show that 1) Bortezomib inhibits infection of HSV, including acyclovir-resistant strains at non-cytotoxic concentrations. We detail the mechanism of inhibition via capsid transport and disruption of cellular nuclear domain 10 (ND10) steps of infection. We show that bortezomib can act synergistically with acyclovir. We also show that 2) gC might play a role in preventing the accumulation of viral particles in endosomes, but that HS might not serve as an intermediary molecule between gB and gC in fusion and is not a determinant of entry route. We additionally show that heparin inhibition of fusion is unaffected by gC and the HS-binding region of gB. Overall, we propose a new option for combatting HSV infection and expand on insights in viral entry.

description: Humans now interact with a variety of digital minds, AI systems that appear to have mental faculties such as reasoning, emotion, and agency, and public figures are discussing the possibility of sentient AI. We present initial results from 2021 and 2023 for the nationally representative AI, Morality, and Sentience (AIMS) survey (N = 3,500). Mind perception and moral concern for AI welfare were surprisingly high and significantly increased: in 2023, one in five U.S. adults believed some AI systems are currently sentient, and 38% supported legal rights for sentient AI. People became more opposed to building digital minds: in 2023, 63% supported banning smarter-than-human AI, and 69% supported banning sentient AI. The median 2023 forecast was that sentient AI would arrive in just five years. The development of safe and beneficial AI requires not just technical study but understanding the complex ways in which humans perceive and coexist with digital minds.

description: Mergers of binary neutron stars (BNSs) emit signals in both the gravitational-wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) spectra. Famously, the 2017 multi-messenger observation of GW170817 led to scientific discoveries across cosmology, nuclear physics, and gravity. Central to these results were the sky localization and distance obtained from GW data, which, in the case of GW170817, helped to identify the associated EM transient, AT 2017gfo, 11 hours after the GW signal. Fast analysis of GW data is critical for directing time-sensitive EM observations; however, due to challenges arising from the length and complexity of signals, it is often necessary to make approximations that sacrifice accuracy. Here, we present a machine learning framework that performs complete BNS inference in just one second without making any such approximations. Our approach enhances multi-messenger observations by providing (i) accurate localization even before the merger; (ii) improved localization precision by $\sim30\%$ compared to approximate low-latency methods; and (iii) detailed information on luminosity distance, inclination, and masses, which can be used to prioritize expensive telescope time. Additionally, the flexibility and reduced cost of our method open new opportunities for equation-of-state studies. Finally, we demonstrate that our method scales to extremely long signals, up to an hour in length, thus serving as a blueprint for data analysis for next-generation ground- and space-based detectors.

description: Gene expression is an important biological process that transmits the effects of genetic variations toward important plant phenotypes through complex biological networks. In the last decade, studies utilizing new technologies for investigating nuclear chromatin in plants have discovered that nuclear DNA interacts through multi-layered hierarchical epigenomic structures including DNA methylation, chromosome A/B compartments, and topologically associated domains (TADs). The research contained in this dissertation spans two distinct studies with an overall objective of determining the extent that these epigenomic features contribute to variations in gene expression across different genotypes, environments, and developmental stages. Chapter 1 is a descriptive literature review of current knowledge regarding the different layers of epigenomic structures. The first research study, contained in chapter 2, explores the stability of transcriptional heritability across optimal and stress conditions in a diverse population of rice. This research discovered that genome-wide distributions of stress-specific heritable expression were enriched within specific genomic hotspots. Highly and lowly expressed genes were found to be distributed differently along chromosomes in patterns that closely match chromatin structure. For the second study, contained in chapter 3, variation in gene transcription along developing rice internodes were characterized and tested for potential transcriptomic regulatory relationships with epigenomic features including DNA methylation, A/B compartments, and TAD domains. This research discovered that CpG methylation greatly differed between transposable elements and non-transposable element genes particularly within promoter and 5’ untranslated regions but did not greatly differ within gene bodies. This study also found that for actively expressed genes, CpG methylation appeared to only be involved in transcriptional regulation of a small minority of genes. This small group of genes was significantly enriched for functional terms including the WD40 domain and protein kinase activity. While chromatin A/B compartments did not appear to have major roles in transcriptional regulation aside from TE repression, actively expressed genes were associated with TAD borders and gene repression was associated with TAD interiors. Chapter 4 reflects on how lessons learned in this research can guide future epigenomic research and identifies two potential applications for epigenomic research including expression engineering and genomic selection modeling (appendix 1).

title: Reflexion - Identität - Geist
Creators: name: Brandl, Sebastian
Year: 2010

description: Philosophiehistorisch gesehen, werden in dieser Arbeit folgende zwei Thesen behandelt: Erstens wird gezeigt, dass das Denken Hegels keineswegs obsolet ist, sondern, dass ebendieses durchaus einen wertvollen Beitrag für die Gegenwartsphilosophie leisten kann. Zweitens wird der Beweis angetreten, dass das begriffliche Instrumentarium der Luhmannschen Systemtheorie komplex genug ist, die Hegelschen Gedanken zu reflektieren. Diese beiden Thesen werden anhand von drei Themen verifiziert: Der Reflexionthematik, dem Verhältnis von Identität und Differenz und dem Verhältnis des Bewusstseins zum Geist bzw. zum sozialen System. Beim Thema Reflexion wird zunächst der betreffende Gedankengang Hegels rekonstruiert, wie er zu Beginn der Wesenslogik dargestellt wird. Dies wird dem entsprechenden systemtheoretischen Konzept gegenübergestellt. Die Gedanken Luhmanns werden mit Hegel angereichert und zuletzt dem Denken von Peter Fuchs gegenübergestellt und es wird gezeigt, dass die beiden Varianten einander sehr ähnlich sind. Im zweiten Kapitel, das vom Verhältnis von Identität und Differenz handelt, geht es primär darum, die am Hegelschen Denken orientierte Kritik des Soziologen Gerhard Wagner an der Luhmannschen Systemtheorie zu prüfen. Die Wagnersche Kritik wird verworfen zugunsten der These, dass gerade die Analogien Luhmanns zu Hegel diesen nicht zu einem Identitätstheoretiker machen, sondern schon Hegels Gedanken ein differenztheoretisches und postsubstantialistisches Potential haben. Zuletzt wird die Frage gestellt, ob das Hegelsche Konzept des Verhältnisses des Geistes zum Bewusstseins vergleichbar ist mit dem Luhmannschen Konzept des Verhältnisses des Bewusstseins zum sozialen System. Bei der Rekonstruktion der beiden Konzepte werden allerdings die wesentlichen Unterschiede deutlich.

description: The emergence of spatial coherence in a confined two-dimensional Bose gas of exciton-polaritons with tuneable interactions offers a unique opportunity to explore the role of interactions in a phase transition in a driven-dissipative quantum system, where both the phase transition and thermalisation are mediated by interactions. We investigate, experimentally and numerically, the phase correlations and steady-state properties of the gas over a wide range of interaction strengths by varying the photonic/excitonic fraction of the polaritons and their density. We find that the first order spatial coherence function exhibits algebraic decay consistent with the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition. Surprisingly, the exponent of the algebraic decay is inversely proportional to the coherent density of polaritons, in analogy to equilibrium superfluids above the BKT transition, but with a different proportionality constant. Our work paves the way for future investigations of the phenomenon of phase transitions and superfluidity in a driven-dissipative setting

I. Acoustic Line-Scan Imaging of Interface Scattering Effects II. Spectral Analysis of Scattering from Elastic Spherical Shells in Water III. Testing of Low-Frequency Elastic Modes

description: Aspects of acoustic scattering from simple underwater targets are considered in a variety of experimental and theoretical studies. Part I examines a lab experiment of line-scan imaging of the backscattering from a thin spherical shell for two cases: i) near a single flat interface, ii) within an ideal waveguide with an external source/receiver. Geometric ray models are used to describe the backscattering in the time, frequency, and holographic image domains. The holographic image focuses scattered echoes to distinct points in space and time identifiable by ray model, including multiple-scattering effects. Part II examines the theory of scattering from underwater elastic spherical shells, given by the exact solution Partial Wave Series form function. The form function of stainless-steel shells are examined in 2D domains: i) frequency vs. scattering angle domain, ii) frequency vs. thickness domain. The global structure observed in the 2D form functions are explained by ray models describing the interference between the distinct scattering mechanisms: the specular reflection and circumferential surface-guided Lamb waves. Part III examines tank experiments testing the low-frequency modes of a stainless-steel cylinder and a thin spherical shell, using modulated acoustic radiation pressure. The modulation allows a high-frequency focused wave to impart a low-frequency force on an object, driving the object at the resonance frequency of its lowest modes. A hydrophone measures the target response via acoustic radiation, providing a method of testing the elastic mode of the target by two types of scans: a frequency scan in modulation frequency, and a physical scan of the drive point along the object at a fixed modulation frequency.
EFFECTS OF MANY BODY INTERACTIONS ON LIQUID AND SOLID SOLUTIONSTHROUGH MOLECULAR DYNAMICS AND AB-INITIO METHODS

description: Understanding many-body interactions are vital in understanding the complex emergent behavior of macroscopic systems. These interactions can be derived from and utilized within computational methods to study a variety of system properties that are difficult to achieve otherwise through experimental or analytical methods. This Dissertation focuses on the exploration of multi-component liquid and solid solutions by means of classical molecular dynamics and by quantum mechanical density functional theory calculations.
description: In the first study, classical many-body interactions in a binary molecular liquid liquid solution were modeled from molecular potentials which described known experimental macroscopic behavior. These were then used to examine the resultant phase separating solution as determined through a classical MD simulation. A series of concentrations of methanol in supercritical carbon monoxide were modeled and graph network analysis was used to identify clustering characteristics and dynamics. Results of these simulations were then used to inform results from DOSY-NMR measurements.
description: In the second study, many-body interactions, alternatively, were determined from first-principles calculations. Magnetic interactions in a solid-state system were determined using a combination of DFT and Cluster Expansion (CE) methods. The magnetic properties of this system were explored by treatment of the magnetic states as mixture of up and down magnetic moments. Using CE, a set of many-body interaction energies were calculated and used to determine the ground state crystal properties. These interaction energies also identified dimensionality properties of the magnetic system that allowed for finite temperature calculations of this quasi-1D system.
description: In the final study, the determination of many-body interactions from first principles was expanded to incorporate both changes in chemical and magnetic configurations. Solid solution mixtures of aluminum, chromium, and iron oxides were examined using DFT and Cluster Expansion methods. Cluster Expansions were first used to determine the magnetic properties of pure eskolaite and hematite. The phase boundaries of these systems with corundum were then calculated with considerations for the configurational, vibrational, and magnetic contributions.

Search for the associated production of charm quarks and a Higgs boson decaying into a photon pair with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for the production of a Higgs boson and one or more charm quarks, in which the Higgs boson decays into a photon pair, is presented. This search uses proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis relies on the identification of charm-quark-containing jets, and adopts an approach based on Gaussian process regression to model the non-resonant di-photon background. The observed (expected, assuming the Standard Model signal) upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the cross-section for producing a Higgs boson and at least one charm-quark-containing jet that passes a fiducial selection is found to be 10.6 pb (8.8 pb). The observed (expected) measured cross-section for this process is $5.3 \pm 3.2~\text{pb}$ ($2.9 \pm 3.1~\text{pb}$).

title: Stadtrand und Randland
Creators: name: Gumpenberger, Nora
Year: 2010

description: Diese Arbeit widmet sich dem Thema der literarischen Räume in der Literatur Eugenie Kains und befasst sich vor allem mit der topographischen und gesellschaftlichen Randstellung, auf die schon der Titel „Stadtrand und Randland“ verweist. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung stehen die Handlungsräume in den literarischen Arbeiten Eugenie Kains, die Auswahl und Darstellung dieser Räume und deren Entsprechungen im Leben der Protagonisten und Protagonistinnen. Ausgehend von der Theorie Michel de Certeaus zu den Praktiken im Raum aus „Kunst des Handelns“ und der Raumterminologie Barbara Piattis aus „Die Geographie der Literatur. Schauplätze, Handlungsräume, Raumphantasien“ werden die literarischen Räume sowohl von topographischer als auch von sozialer Seite betrachtet. Viele der Erzählungen Eugenie Kains sind im oberösterreichischen Zentralraum angesiedelt, zumeist an den Rändern der Stadt Linz. Sie beschreiben ein Leben an der Peripherie, ein Leben an der Grenze von Stadt und Land, ein Leben an „Nicht-Orten“ und ein Leben im ständigen Zwischenraum, zwischen Selbstbestimmung (der Wunsch nach einem Leben abseits der konservativen, bürgerlichen Bahnen) und den gestellten Erwartungen des Umfeldes. An den Rändern der Stadt zu wohnen und gleichzeitig an den Rand der Gesellschaft gedrängt zu werden, einem Bild nicht zu entsprechen, sind Themen die hier näher behandelt werden. Es ist der Raum, der sowohl topographisch als auch sozial in eine Sackgasse führt. Der Blick in den Raum öffnet in den Erzählungen Eugenie Kains den Blick auf die Menschen.
