Erste Hinweise auf eine pliozäne Donau in der östlichen Iller-Lech-Platte (Bayerisch Schwaben)
Creators: name: Scheuenpflug, Lorenz
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1976

description: Funde nicht-alpiner Gerölle südlich des altpleistozänen Donaulaufs in der östlichen Iller-Lech-Platte werden als umgelagerte Reste pliozäner Donauschotter gedeutet und geben so erste Hinweise auf ein Ausgreifen der Donau 35-40 km südlich ihres heutigen Laufs. Die bisher als Tertiärrelikt angesehene Dinkelscherbener Altwasserscheide dieses Bereichs kann somit erst im Pleistozän entstanden sein und dürfte kaum am Staufenberg vorbei weiter nach NNO gereicht haben.

Masterarbeit

description: In dieser Masterarbeit befasse ich mich mit der Frage, inwiefern die Aufmerksamkeit von Kindern mit speziellem Förderbedarf durch hundegestützte Pädagogik im offenen Unterricht gefördert und optimiert werden kann. Der theoretische Hintergrund setzt sich mit den Begriffen Aufmerksamkeit, ADHS und der Entwicklung der tiergestützten Pädagogik auseinander. Wissenschaftliche Forschungen, bei denen die Themen Aufmerksamkeit, ADHS und die Wirkeffekte der tiergestützten Pädagogik von Bedeutung sind, werden erläutert. Die Methode der kontrollierten Einzelfallstudie und des A-B-A-B Designs wird gezielt eingesetzt, um in drei kontrollierten Einzelfallstudien eine eventuelle Niveauveränderung des Zielverhaltens bei den Lernenden mithilfe regelmässiger Videoaufnahmen zu analysieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass in diesem Rahmen die Aufmerksamkeit einzelner Kinder durch hundegestützte Interventionen optimiert werden kann. Zudem schlüsseln sie auf, welche Voraussetzungen und Massnahmen für eine erfolgreiche Interventionsumsetzung erfüllt werden sollten.
The Holocene Marine Transgression in the Region of the North Frisian Islands

description: Um die unterschiedliche Entwicklung des Küstenholozäns im Bereich der Nordfriesischen Inseln darzustellen, wird die relativ gering mächtige — weniger als 10 m — Schichtenfolge von Sylt mit der teilweise über 20 m mächtigen bei Pellworm verglichen. Bei Sylt läßt sich das Küstenholozän in drei Sedimentdecken untergliedern, die durch eine Torflage oder humosen Klei und durch einen Humusdwog voneinander getrennt werden. Seit 2.000 Jahren lag die Marschoberfläche höher als das MThw. Die Größe der Marsch nahm seit dem Mittelalter als Folge ständiger Erosion ab. Im Gebiet um Pellworm ist eine Gliederung der vor Chr. Geb. abgelagerten Sedimente wegen des kleinräumigen Fazieswechsels nicht möglich. Als Folge erheblicher Setzungen während des ersten nachchristlichen Jahrtausends und der Kultivierungsarbeiten seit dem Mittelalter wurden die Marschoberflächen niedriger gelegt. In den Jahren 1362 und 1634 n. Chr. Geb. wurden sie von Sturmflutkatastrophen betroffen, große Teile ins Wattenmeer einbezogen und von den Siedlern verlassen. Die Gründe für diese Ereignisse sind teils auf die geologische Entwicklung, teils auf die Einwirkung des Menschen zurückzuführen. Der Ablauf der vor allem jüngeren Landschaftsgeschichte wurde in den verglichenen Gebieten in erheblichem Maße von lokalen Faktoren beeinflußt.

Das Ausmaß der würmzeitlichen Isèretalvergletscherung im Lichte neuer Datierungen

description: Archäologische und schon bekannte 14C-Datierungen am Rand des Vercors ebenso wie die Analyse der Lokalvergletscherung der Belledonne scheinen zu beweisen, daß nach 35—40000 B.P. kein Gletscher im Grenobler Becken die Höhenmarke von 350 bis 400 m überschritten hat. Eine neue 14C-Datierung, die mit fossilem Holz aus einer südlich von Grenoble gelegenen, sich nur 15 bis 25 m über der heutigen Alluvialebene der Isère erhebenden Terrasse durchgeführt wurde, hat ein Alter von 26500 + 2200/-1800 bzw. 29300 +5000/-3100 ergeben. Da die Terrasse keinerlei Spuren einer nachträglichen Eisüberfahrung aufweist, muß mit der Möglichkeit gerechnet werden, daß das Grésivaudan und die Cluse de Grenoble nach dem Stillfried B-Interstadial eisfrei geblieben sind. In Übereinstimmung mit einem würmzeitlichen Isèregletscher, der das Alpenvorland nicht mehr erreicht hat, stände die Tatsache, daß die Quartärablagerungen des Grésivaudan insgesamt sehr viel älter sind als die des Inntales im Raum von Innsbruck.

description: This study compares the environmental impact (i.e. feed intake, water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions) of 12 different calf-production systems to produce a calf weighing 190 kg to 220 kg. A farm-level static model and a national-level dynamic model were both developed to consider the variation in the environmental impact following different cattle management protocols. It was found that aspects related to calf mortality rates, calving percentage, average daily gain and fodder conversion ratios play a significant role in the total environmental impact of calf production. The longer it takes for a calf to reach the target weight and the more animals there are in the herd structure, the higher the environmental impact and the more unsustainable the production becomes. Therefore, the higher the environmental impact, the higher the relative environmental impact to produce a kilogram of beef. This requires a careful yet decisive policy focus and action plan towards sustainable rangeland management.

description: We review the current understanding of time-like virtual photon emission from QCD matter. The phenomenology of dilepton emission is discussed and basic theoretical concepts are introduced. The experimental findings are presented, grouped into production of lepton pairs in elementary processes, production off cold nuclear matter and emission from heavy-ion collisions. The review emphasizes the role of dilepton emission as tool for studying exotic phases of QCD matter. Open questions and a route to probe the QCD phase diagram with dileptons are outlined.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the braneworld solutions based on a solvable model of 5d gauged supergravity with two scalars of conformal dimension three, which correspond to bilinear operators of fermions in the dual $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory on the boundary. An accelerating braneworld solution is obtained when both scalars are taken as the form of deformations of the super Yang-Mills theory and the bulk supersymmetry is broken. This solution is smoothly connected to the Poincare invariant brane in the limit of vanishing cosmological constant. The stability of this brane-solution and the correspondence to the gauge theory are addressed.

description: We investigated the electronic and optical properties of bilayer AB stacked Boron and Nitrogen vacancies in hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) using density functional theory (DFT). The density of states (DOS) and electronic band structure showed that Boron vacancy in bilayer h-BN results in a magnetic and conducting ground state. The band gap energy ranges from 4.56 eV for the pristine BN bilayer to 0.12 eV for a single Nitrogen vacancy in the bilayer. Considering the presence of 1,3,4-Boron vacancy, half metallic character is observed. However, the 2-boron vacancy configuration resulted in metallic character. The bilayers with 1,2,3,4- Nitrogen vacancy has a band gap of 0.39, 0.33, 0.28 and 0.12eV respectively, which is significantly less than the pristine band gap. Also B and N vacancy induces ferromagnetism in the h-BN bilayer. The maximum total magnetic moment for the Boron vacant system is 6.583uB in case of 4-Boron vacancy configuration. In case of Nitrogen vacancy system it is 3.926uB for 4-Nitrogen vacancy configuration. The optical response of the system is presented in terms of the absorption coefficient, refractive index and dielectric constant for pristine as well as the defective configurations. Negative value of dielectric constant for Boron vacant system in the energy range 0.9-1.4 eV and for Nitrogen vacant system in the energy range 0.5-0.8 eV opens an opportunity for it to be utilized for negative index optical materials. The current study shows that B and N vacancies in bilayer h-BN could have potential applications in nano-structure based electronics, optoelectronics and spintronic devices.

description: Pursuing fractionalized particles that do not bear properties of conventional measurable objects, exemplified by bare particles in the vacuum such as electrons and elementary excitations such as magnons, is a challenge in physics. Here we show that a machine-learning method for quantum many-body systems that has achieved state-of-the-art accuracy reveals the existence of a quantum spin liquid (QSL) phase in the region $0.49\lesssim J_2/J_1\lesssim0.54$ convincingly in spin-1/2 frustrated Heisenberg model with the nearest and next-nearest neighbor exchanges, $J_1$ and $J_2$, respectively, on the square lattice. This is achieved by combining with the cutting-edge computational schemes known as the correlation ratio and level spectroscopy methods to mitigate the finite-size effects. The quantitative one-to-one correspondence between the correlations in the ground state and the excitation spectra enables the reliable identification and estimation of the QSL and its nature. The spin excitation spectra containing both singlet and triplet gapless Dirac-like dispersions signal the emergence of gapless fractionalized spin-1/2 Dirac-type spinons in the distinctive QSL phase. Unexplored critical behavior with coexisting and dual power-law decays of Néel antiferromagnetic and dimer correlations is revealed. The power-law decay exponents of the two correlations differently vary with $J_2/J_1$ in the QSL phase and thus have different values except for a single point satisfying the symmetry of the two correlations. The isomorph of excitations with the cuprate $d$-wave superconductors implies a tight connection between the present QSL and superconductivity. This achievement demonstrates that the quantum-state representation using machine learning techniques, which had mostly been limited to benchmarks, is a promising tool for investigating grand challenges in quantum many-body physics.

description: A lot of efforts have been devoted to understanding the origin and effects of magnetic moments induced in graphene with carbon atom vacancy, or light adatoms like hydrogen or fluorine. At the meantime, the large negative magnetoresistance (MR) widely observed in these systems is not well understood, nor had it been associated with the presence of magnetic moments. In this paper, we study the systematic evolution of the large negative MR of in-situ hydrogenated graphene in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment. We find for most combination of electron density ($n_e$) and hydrogen density ($n_H$), MR at different temperature can be scaled to $α=(μ_BB)/[k_B(T-T^*)]$, where $T^*$ is the Curie-Weiss temperature. The sign of $T^*$ indicates the existence of tunable ferromagnetic-like ($T^* >0$) and anti-ferromagnetic-like ($T^* <0$) coupling in hydrogenated graphene. However, the lack of hysteresis of MR or anomalous Hall effect below $|T^*|$ points to the fact that long-range magnetic order did not emerge, which we attribute to the competition of different magnetic orders and disordered arrangement of magnetic moments on graphene. We also find that localized impurity states introduced by H adatoms could modify the capacitance of hydrogenated graphene. This work provides a new way to extract information from large negative MR behavior and can be a key to help understanding interactions of magnetic moments in graphene.

description: This research was conducted to evaluate the impact of innovations to improve the yield and nutrition of sorghum varieties in Ethiopia. Importantly, we used an economic model to account for the market impacts of the innovation. Household data on the previous adoption of improved varieties were used to assess the likely impact on individual households and on overall poverty reduction. Our study also accounts for trade distortions in the market. Sorghum prices in Ethiopia are depressed by trade policies such as export restrictions, product subsidies and food aid, similar to agricultural commodities in many other developing countries. We considered the example of a current programme focused on sorghum innovation and estimate an expected rate of return of about 21%. Our results also indicate that the benefits of the programme would be larger if trade distortions were eliminated.
Zur Auswertung steinzeitlicher Oberflächenfundplätze: Federmesser – Zivilisation und Mesolithikum
Creators: name: Schwabedissen, Hermann
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1955

description: Die Auswertung steinzeitlicher Oberflächenstationen muß mit Vorsicht erfolgen, weil günstige Siedlungsplätze oft mehrfach bewohnt gewesen sind. Es gibt aber Kriterien, deren Beachtung die Gefahr von Fehlschlüssen weitgehend ausschaltet. Folgende Hauptgrundsätze sind zu beachten: 1. Genaue Kenntnis der Originalfunde von genügend zahlreichen Stationen eines möglichst großen Gebietes. 2. Vergleich mit stratigraphisch gesicherten Horizonten und „geschlossenen Funden". 3. Beurteilung der Fundplätze nicht nach Einzeltypen, sondern nach „Artefaktkomplexen". Unter „Artefaktkomplex" wird die Vergesellschaftung von Funden verstanden, die nach Zahl, Form, Material und Bearbeitungstechnik so mannigfaltig wie möglich sind, wobei das Zahlenverhältnis eine wesentliche Rolle spielt. Von französischer Seite wurde ein Verfahren zur Veranschaulichung der Artefaktkomplexe mittels graphischer Darstellung vorgelegt (Abb. 1 u. 2), das auch für die Auswertung von Oberflächenstationen große Bedeutung hat. Die Beachtung obiger Grundsätze macht es möglich, mit Hilfe von Oberflächenfundplätzen Fragen zu beleuchten, für deren Lösung sonst keine Voraussetzungen vorhanden sind. Das wird an Beispielen der spätpaläolithisch/mesolithischen Kulturentwicklung in Nordwesteuropa erläutert. Neuere Forschungsergebnisse brachten eine Bestätigung der auf Grund der Flinttypologie gewonnenen Resultate. So wird folgendes erhärtet: 1. Die Federmesser-Zivilisation beruht nicht auf der willkürlichen Auslese aus mesolithischen Stationen, sondern stellt eine selbständige Kulturgruppe vom Charakter eines ausklingenden Magdalénien dar. 2. Die Hamburger Kultur gliedert sich in eine ältere und eine jüngere Stufe. 3. Im Mesolithikum lassen sich kern- und scheibenbeilführende von rein mikrolithischen Fundgruppen scheiden. Auch innerhalb der Mikrolith-Zivilisation sind verschiedene Gruppen vorhanden.

description: Scaling laws express a systematic and universal simplicity among complex systems in nature. For example, such laws are of enormous significance in biology. Scaling relations are also important in the physical sciences. The seminal 1986 discovery of high transition-temperature (high-T_c) superconductivity in cuprate materials has sparked an intensive investigation of these and related complex oxides, yet the mechanism for superconductivity is still not agreed upon. In addition, no universal scaling law involving such fundamental properties as T_c and the superfluid density ρ_s, a quantity indicative of the number of charge carriers in the superconducting state, has been discovered. Here we demonstrate that the scaling relation ρ_s \propto σ_{dc} T_c, where the conductivity σ_{dc} characterizes the unidirectional, constant flow of electric charge carriers just above T_c, universally holds for a wide variety of materials and doping levels. This surprising unifying observation is likely to have important consequences for theories of high-T_c superconductivity.

Mittelquartäre Klimaverhältnisse und Reliefentwicklung im semiariden Becken von Vera (Südostspanien)

description: Im nördlichen Teil des Beckens von Vera treten als älteste quartäre Formen villafrancazeitliche beckenrandnahe Schwemmfächer und Glacisakkumulationen auf, die an der Basis Travertine enthalten, deren ESR-Altersabschätzung bei ca. 1,6 Mill. Jahre liegt. Ein Aufleben der Beckenrandverwerfungen im Altquartär initiierte eine intensive Ausräumungsphase, so daß von dem ursprünglich das gesamte Untersuchungsgebiet einnehmenden Glacis nur noch kleinräumige Reste erhalten sind (Abb. 1). Sie überragen um bis zu 50 m mittelquartäre Glacisrelikte, die vor allem nördlich von Cuevas del Almanzora das Landschaftsbild bestimmen. Am Einschnitt des Flusses bestehen sie aus ca. 35 m mächtigen Ablagerungen, in denen vereinzelte Grobblöcke auftreten. Diese zwischen 3 und 4,5 m Längsachse erreichenden kantigen Bruchstücke entsprechen in ihrem Habitus Driftblöcken und legen einen Transport auf Eisschollen nahe. Hinweise auf eine intensive winterliche Abkühlung in diesem küstennahen Raum geben Hangschuttdecken, deren Einregelungsmessungen einen geli-solifluidalen Transport anzeigen. Da sie vereinzelt an ihrer Basis mit den liegenden sandig-schluffigen Ablagerungen verwürgt sind, ist von einer bedeutenden Frosteindringtiefe auszugehen. Diese Schlußfolgerung wird durch den Fund eines ca. 50 cm Durchmesser erreichenden Blocks aus Sand gestützt, dessen Rundung nur durch einen längeren fluviatilen Transport im gefrorenen Zustand erklärbar ist. Die aufgeführten Merkmale sprechen insgesamt für eine winterliche Temperaturabsenkung von 12—15° C. In die Glacisablagerungen sind z.T. mehrere Meter mächtige äolische Sedimente eingeschaltet, die zwar lokal hohe sandige Beimengungen aufweisen, in der Regel aber zwischen 50 und 75 % Schluff enthalten. Sie werden als Deluviallösse und Indikatoren kalt-arider Klimabedingungen interpretiert. Mit diesem frühmittelquartären Niveau ist die Entstehung weiträumiger Glacisflächen beendet; im folgenden schneiden sich die Flüsse ein und bewirken die partielle Ausräumung der Akkumulationen. Nur längs des Río Almanzora lassen sich noch Terrassenniveaus aus dem Mittel- und Jungquartär ausgliedern.

description: We study vibrational statistics in current-carrying model molecular junctions using master equation approach. Especially, we concentrate on the validity of using an effective temperature $T_{\rm eff}$ to characterize the nonequilibrium steady state of a vibrational mode. We identify cases where a single $T_{\rm eff}$ can not fully describe one vibrational state. In such cases, the probability distribution among different vibrational states does not follow the Boltzmann type. Consequently, the actual entropy (free energy) of the vibrational mode is lower (higher) than the corresponding thermal value given by $T_{\rm eff}$, indicating extra work can be extracted from these states. Our results will be useful for the study of non-thermal vibrational state in thermodynamics of nanoscale systems, and its usage in nanoscale heat engines.

description: This paper examines the economic impact of swine research undertaken by Agriculture Canada from 1968 to 1984. The economic surplus approach is used to estimate the returns to this research and to determine the distribution of benefits between producers and consumers. The ex ante and ex post approaches to measuring changes in producers' surplus are compared. The impact of the marginal excess burden of taxes on measures of net benefits from research is examined J The internal rate of return of net benefits from research is examined J The internal rate of return to expenditures on swine research was found to be between 45% and 50% at the margin. About 85% of the benefits accrued to Canadian hog producers.

description: Most previous deepfake detection methods bent their efforts to discriminate artifacts by end-to-end training. However, the learned networks often fail to mine the general face forgery information efficiently due to ignoring the data hardness. In this work, we propose to introduce the sample hardness into the training of deepfake detectors via the curriculum learning paradigm. Specifically, we present a novel simple yet effective strategy, named Dynamic Facial Forensic Curriculum (DFFC), which makes the model gradually focus on hard samples during the training. Firstly, we propose Dynamic Forensic Hardness (DFH) which integrates the facial quality score and instantaneous instance loss to dynamically measure sample hardness during the training. Furthermore, we present a pacing function to control the data subsets from easy to hard throughout the training process based on DFH. Comprehensive experiments show that DFFC can improve both within- and cross-dataset performance of various kinds of end-to-end deepfake detectors through a plug-and-play approach. It indicates that DFFC can help deepfake detectors learn general forgery discriminative features by effectively exploiting the information from hard samples.

description: We propose a new approach to probe the spatial extension of the valence neutron orbital in the $^{9}$Be nucleus via the ${}^{9}$Be($p,pn$)${}^{8}$Be knockout reaction. This property of the nuclear molecular orbital has not been established in previous experimental studies and divergence exists between the theoretical descriptions of ${}^{9}$Be from different perspectives, \textit{i.e.}, the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics and the container pictures of cluster dynamics. These pictures are represented by two different well-proven microscopic models, the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) and Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Röpke (THSR) wave functions. The corresponding reduced width amplitudes (RWAs) in the $^{8}$Be$+n$ channel are extracted from both the AMD and THSR wave functions, and they are found to describe drastically different valence-nucleon motion, which shows the theoretical ambiguity in describing the $π$-orbitals in $^{9}$Be. Using the RWAs as input, the physical observables of the ${}^{9}$Be($p,pn$)${}^{8}$Be knockout reaction are predicted by the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA) framework. The magnitudes of the triple-differential cross sections (TDX) are found to be highly sensitive to the RWA input. It is concluded that the ${}^{9}$Be($p,pn$)${}^{8}$Be knockout reaction could provide a feasible probing for the subtle differences between several structure models manifesting through the spatial extension of the $π$-orbital in the $^{9}$Be nucleus.

description: Kies-, Schwermineral-, Karbonat- und Korngrößenanalysen würmzeitlicher glazialen Ablagerungen, hauptsächlich Grundmoränen, des Rheintalgletschers im Alpenvorland zeigen, daß verschiedene Faktoren ihre Zusammensetzung beeinflussen. Zum ersten gibt es laterale und vertikale Variationen, welche mit der Aufnahme wechselnder Mengen der lokalen Gesteinstypen oder prä-existierender glazifluvialer Ablagerungen zusammenhängen. Zweitens zeigt sich eine laterale Variation im erratischen Bestandteil, welche die Auswirkung der verschiedenen Gesteinstypen im Ursprungsgebiet der Teilgletscher des Rheintalgletschers und die im Verlauf der Vergletscherung wahrscheinlich wechselnde Lage der Strombahnen der Teilgletscher widerspiegeln.

description: The returns to Canadian federal sheep research expenditures between 1968 and 1984 are estimated using the economic surplus approach. Ex post and ex ante measures of the change in producers' surplus are compared. Regression analysis is used to estimate the lag structure of the effects of research on the national supply function, facilitating the estimation of returns on average and at the margin. The effect of the excess burden of tax collection on returns to sheep research was investigate􀀚 The internal rate of return to sheep research was found to be about·25% at the margin exclusive of the effects of the excess burden. This rate of return fell to 20% when the costs of an excess burden of 20c on the dollar was assumed.

description: The unitarily extended Bialas-Bzdak model of elastic proton-proton scattering is applied, without modifications, to describe the differential cross-section of elastic proton-antiproton collisions in the TeV energy range, and to extrapolate these differential cross-sections to LHC energies. In this model-dependent study we find that the differential cross-sections of elastic proton-proton collision data at 2.76 and 7 TeV energies differ significantly from the differential cross-section of elastic proton-antiproton collisions extrapolated to these energies. The elastic proton-proton differential cross-sections, extrapolated to 1.96 TeV energy with the help of this extended Bialas-Bzdak model do not differ significantly from that of elastic proton-antiproton collisions, within the theoretical errors of the extrapolation. Taken together these results provide a model-dependent, but statistically significant evidence for a crossing-odd component of the elastic scattering amplitude at the at least 7.08 sigma level. From the reconstructed Odderon and Pomeron amplitudes, we determine the $\sqrt{s}$ dependence of the corresponding total and differential cross-sections.
description: Final version, typos fixed, accepted for a publication in EPJ C, including 3 tables, 32 figures, 61 pages. Model dependent Odderon significance stands at 7.08 sigma. Appendix C and D added to discuss the s-dependent Pomeron and Odderon amplitudes and cross-sections and to cross-check possible non-linear evolution of the model parameters at ISR energies

description: Reste von Großsäugern (Equus, Elephas, Cervus und Canis) aus der plio-pleistozänen Karewa-Formation des Kashmir-Beckens in NW-Indien werden beschrieben. Da die Fossilien aus paläomagnetisch datierten Schichten stammen, kann hier erstmals eine zeitliche Korrelation für das Auftreten der Großsäuger für das Kashmir-Becken gegeben werden. Equus und Cervus erscheinen erstmals vor etwa 2.0 Mio. Jahren, während Elephas und Canis erst in der Brunhes-Epoche belegt sind. Das Auftreten dieser Gattungen wird mit anderen bekannten biochronologischen Sequenzen des Subkontinentes verglichen und kurz auf die Grenzziehung zwischen Plio- und Pleistozän in Nordindien eingegangen.

description: The purpose of this report is to determine the comparative costs of packing apples in modern North Carolina plants for a range of output capacities, lengths of season and technologies. Information on investment and operating costs was obtained from packinghouse operators, equipment manufacturers and published research reports. These data are used to derive fixed and variable costs per unit of output for the different plants. Building, equipment for either manual or mechanical dwnping systems, and operating costs are determined for packinghouses with hourly output capacities of 100, 200, 300, 400, 600 and 800 boxes of 40 pounds each. Total season costs are provided for the 200- and 400-box capacities for 300- and 400-hour seasons to illustrate length of season effects and procedure. Results of the study indicate that output increased 100 percent by increasing capacity from 200 tp 400 boxes/hour, with a 50 percent increase in capital investment. Annual costs per box decrease $ .09 when capacity is increased from 200 to 400 boxes per hour for a 300-hour season and $ .06 when length of season is increased from 300 to 400 hours for the 400-box plant. The cost decrease when both length of season and size of plant are increased is $ .15 per box. This information should benefit the N. C. packing industry as it considers future organization of resources for the purpose of maintaining or increasing its competitive position.

description: This report sulTITlarizes the effect of three recent studies in North Carolina concerning the relationship between changes in real property taxes and property values. The studies analyzed the relationship between changes in the level of property taxes and property values for owner-occupied housing, rental housing, and fann real estate. These studies indicate that much of any tax reduction on rental housing property in North Carolina will be passed on to tenants in the fonn of reduced rents but will have little effect on the value of owner-occupied homes. In the case of farm real estate, a reduction in property taxes is largely capitalized into higher property values. The conclusion in each case assumes an adjustment period sufficiently long such that full adjustments have been made to the change in the tax rate. The results of these studies suggest the difficulties in predicting the effects of general reductions in property taxes. Such reductions are likely to have a quite different impact on owners of different classes of property. Given the level of local government budgets, property tax reductions mean an increase in other taxes. Hence, reductions in property taxes are likely to be tied to proposals to replace taxes lost by increases in sales taxes, income taxes, etc. The method of replacing lost revenue will also affect various groups of taxpayers quite differently. For these reasons, simple generalizations about the effects of reductions in local property taxes on particular classes of real property cannot be made.
Das Alleröd-Interstadial als Leithorizont der letzten Vereisung in Europa und Amerika

description: Die synchronen spätglazialen Alleröd-Bildungen (ca. 10000—8800 v. Chr.) Europas sowie das zufolge der Radiokarbon-Datierung gleichzeitige Two Creeks Forest bed in Nord-Amerika beweisen als wichtiger stratigraphischer und chronologischer Leithorizont die Gleichzeitigkeit des Spätglazials und damit auch der letzten Vereisung in den genannten Gebieten, insbesondere in Europa die Gleichzeitigkeit von Mittelschwedischem und Salpausselkä-Stadium mit der Jüngeren Dryaszeit im Norden und der Schlußvereisung der Alpen sowie mit dem Mankato-Stadium der Wisconsin-Vereisung in Nord-Amerika. Mit dem Ende der Schlußvereisung endete um ca. 8100 v. Chr. die Späteiszeit und begann zufolge der Klima- und Vegetationsentwicklung das Postglazial. Das Spätglazial begann nach dem Aufhören der weiträumigen Lößalblagerung am Schluß des hochglazialen Pommerschen Stadiums (= Zürich-Singen-Ölkofen-Stadium im Alpenraum und = Cary-Stadium in Nord-Amerika) mit dem Daniglazial, in dem die ersten fossilführenden Sedimente (Großteil des sogen. Masurischen Interstadials) in einer baumlosen Tundrenzeit gebildet wurden. Der zweite spätglaziale Abschnitt, das Gotiglazial, begann mit dem Langeland-Vorstoß (= Ammersee-Stadium im Voralpenraum) im Schlußabschnitt der baumlosen Tundrenzeit, der durch den kurzen Baumbirken-Vorstoß des Bölling-Interstadials in Dänemark, Holland und West-Deutschland (in SW-Norwegen höchst wahrscheinlich = Bröndmyr-Interstadial) unterbrochen wurde; der wärmste Abschnitt des Gotiglazials war die Alleröd-Waldzeit. In W- und Mittel-Europa reichte das späte Magdalénien (VI a und b) meist bis an den Schluß der Allerödzeit, stellenweise (Holstein) bis ins früheste Postglazial; im Osten herrschte im ganzen Spätglazial das späte Gravettien.

description: We report the development of an open-sourced data warehouse builder, InterBase Data Warehouse Builder (IB-DWB), based on Borland InterBase 6 Open Edition Database Server. InterBase 6 is used for its low maintenance and small footprint. IB-DWB is designed modularly and consists of 5 main components, Data Plug Platform, Discoverer Platform, Multi-Dimensional Cube Builder, and Query Supporter, bounded together by a Kernel. It is also an extensible system, made possible by the Data Plug Platform and the Discoverer Platform. Currently, extensions are only possible via dynamic linked-libraries (DLLs). Multi-Dimensional Cube Builder represents a basal mean of data aggregation. The architectural philosophy of IB-DWB centers around providing a base platform that is extensible, which is functionally supported by expansion modules. IB-DWB is currently being hosted by sourceforge.net (Project Unix Name: ib-dwb), licensed under GNU General Public License, Version 2.
Ergebnisse geomorphologischer und palynologischer Untersuchungen zum Spätglazial und Frühholozän in den Cuillin Hills auf der Insel Skye (Schottland)

description: Es werden Moränen (als rücken-, wall- und kuppenförmige Vollformen ausgebildet), Oser, Kames sowie Formen glazialer Erosion kartiert und in morphologisch abgrenzbare Stadien eingeteilt (A- bis E-Stadien). Blockmoränen, Blockmoränenstreu und Blockmoränenwälle sind charakteristisch für die jüngeren Stadien. An ausgewählten Bohrstellen, die einen unmittelbaren Bezug zu Moränen und anderen glazialen Phänomenen haben, wurden basisnahe Sedimentserien von Bohrkernen palynologisch — kombiniert mit einzelnen radiometrischen Datierungen — untersucht. Die Untersuchung ergab deutlich eine spätglaziale (jungtundrenzeitliche) Gletscherbedeckung mit verschiedenen Rückzugsstadien und eine frühholozäne Karver-gletscherung. Die bisher wenig beachtete Bodenbildung auf den Moränen konnte Hinweise auf eine Eingruppierung der Moränen in ältere Moränen mit Podsolen, jüngere Moränen mit Rankern und z. T. Braunerden und jüngste Moränen mit einer nur sehr schwachen Bodenbildung geben.
