description: The interaction properties of cold dark matter (CDM) particle candidates, such as those of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), generically lead to the structuring of dark matter on scales much smaller than typical galaxies, potentially down to $\sim 10^{-10}M_\odot$. This clustering translates into a very large population of subhalos in galaxies and affects the predictions for direct and indirect dark matter searches (gamma rays and antimatter cosmic rays). In this paper, we elaborate on previous analytic works to model the Galactic subhalo population, while consistently with current observational dynamical constraints on the Milky Way. In particular, we propose a self-consistent method to account for tidal effects induced by both dark matter and baryons. Our model does not strongly rely on cosmological simulations as they can hardly be fully matched to the real Milky Way, but for setting the initial subhalo mass fraction. Still, it allows to recover the main qualitative features of simulated systems. It can further be easily adapted to any change in the dynamical constraints, and be used to make predictions or derive constraints on dark matter candidates from indirect or direct searches. We compute the annihilation boost factor, including the subhalo-halo cross-product. We confirm that tidal effects induced by the baryonic components of the Galaxy play a very important role, resulting in a local average subhalo mass density $\lesssim 1\%$ of the total local dark matter mass density, while selecting in the most concentrated objects and leading to interesting features in the overall annihilation profile in the case of a sharp subhalo mass function. Values of global annihilation boost factors range from $\sim 2$ to $\sim 20$, while the local annihilation rate is about half as much boosted.

description: Neutron interferometry enables precision measurements that are typically operated within elaborate, multi-layered facilities which provide substantial shielding from environmental noise. These facilities are necessary to maintain the coherence requirements in a perfect crystal neutron interferometer which is extremely sensitive to local environmental conditions such as temperature gradients across the interferometer, external vibrations, and acoustic waves. The ease of operation and breadth of applications of perfect crystal neutron interferometry would greatly benefit from a mode of operation which relaxes these stringent isolation requirements. Here, the INDEX Collaboration and National Institute of Standards and Technology demonstrates the functionality of a neutron interferometer in vacuum and characterize the use of a compact vacuum chamber enclosure as a means to isolate the interferometer from spatial temperature gradients and time-dependent temperature fluctuations. The vacuum chamber is found to have no depreciable effect on the performance of the interferometer (contrast) while improving system stability, thereby showing that it is feasible to replace large temperature isolation and control systems with a compact vacuum enclosure for perfect crystal neutron interferometry.

description: We introduce a factorization of the fermion determinant in lattice QCD with Wilson-type fermions that leads to a bosonic action which is local in the block fields. The interaction among gauge fields on distant blocks is mediated by multiboson fields located on the boundaries of the blocks. The resultant multiboson domain-decomposed hybrid Monte Carlo passes extensive numerical tests carried out by measuring standard gluonic observables. The combination of the determinant factorization and of the one of the propagator, that we put forward recently, paves the way for multilevel Monte Carlo integration in the presence of fermions. We test this possibility by computing the disconnected correlator of two flavor-diagonal pseudoscalar densities, and we observe a significant increase of the signal-to-noise ratio due to a two-level integration.

description: The $\vec{p}p \rightarrow pK^{+}Λ$ reaction has been measured with the COSY-TOF detector at a beam momentum of $2.7\,\mathrm{GeV}/c$. The polarized proton beam enables the measurement of the beam analyzing power by the asymmetry of the produced kaon ($A_N^{K}$). This observable allows the $pΛ$ spin triplet scattering length to be extracted for the first time model independently from the final-state interaction in the reaction. The obtained value is $a_{t} = (-2.55 ^{+0.72}_{-1.39} {}_{\textrm{stat.}} \pm 0.6_{\textrm{syst.}} \pm 0.3_{\textrm{theo.}})\mathrm{fm}$. This value is compatible with theoretical predictions and results from model-dependent analyses.

description: We study asymptotic behavior, for large time $n$, of the transition probability of a two-dimensional random walk killed when entering into a non-empty finite subset $A$. We show that it behaves like $4 \tilde u_A(x) \tilde u_{-A}(-y) (\lg n)^{-2} p^n(y- x)$ for large $n$, uniformly in the parabolic regime $|x|\vee |y| =O(\sqrt n)$, where $p^n(y-x)$ is the transition kernel of the random walk (without killing) and $\tilde u_A$ is the unique harmonic function in the 'exterior of $A$' satisfying the boundary condition $\tilde u_A(x) \sim \lg |x|$ at infinity.

Mit Früherkennung und -förderung in der ersten und zweiten Klasse lassen sich weiterführende Schwierigkeiten besser auffangen oder gar vermeiden. Interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit verstärkt die Wirkung dieser präventiven Interventionen. Mit Hilfe zweier Interviews und einer Gruppendiskussion wird untersucht, welche Handlungsstrategien Unterstufenlehrpersonen zur Prävention von LRS anwenden und welche Erwartungen sie diesbezüglich an die Zusammenarbeit mit der Logopädie haben. Die qualitativ ausgewerteten Ergebnisse zu den Forschungsfragen werden tabellarisch aufgelistet. In einem ‚Paradigmatischen Modell‘ werden Zusammenhänge erklärt und es wird aufgezeigt, von welchen Faktoren Handlungsstrategien und Erwartungen beeinflusst werden.

description: We construct gravitational modifications that go beyond Horndeski, namely theories with extended nonminimal derivative couplings, in which the coefficient functions depend not only on the scalar field but also on its kinetic energy. Such theories prove to be ghost-free in a cosmological background. We investigate the early-time cosmology and show that a de Sitter inflationary phase can be realized as a pure result of the novel gravitational couplings. Additionally, we study the late-time evolution, where we obtain an effective dark energy sector which arises from the scalar field and its extended couplings to gravity. We extract various cosmological observables and analyse their behavior at small redshifts for three choices of potentials, namely, for the exponential, the power-law, and the Higgs potential. We show that the Universe passes from deceleration to acceleration in the recent cosmological past, while the effective dark-energy equation-of-state parameter tends to the cosmological-constant value at present. Finally, the effective dark energy can be phantom-like, although the scalar field is canonical, which is an advantage of the model.

title: Prekarität was ist das?
title: In den Sozialwissenschaften wird vermehrt auf den Begriff der "Prekarität" zurückgegriffen, um die Transformation der Arbeitsgesellschaft und ihre Auswirkungen auf die sozialen Arrangements von Erwerbsarbeit zu analysieren. In diesem Beitrag wird dafür plädiert, Prekarisierungsprozesse nicht nur auf der Ebene der Erwerbsarbeit zu untersuchen. Vielmehr wird ein mehrdimensionales Konzept skizziert, das ausgehend von der besonderen Bedeutung von Erwerbsarbeit weitere Dimensionen der Lebenslage einbezieht, um differenziertere Aussagen über Prekarisierung in Gegenwartsgesellschaften machen zu können. Im Einzelnen wird zwischen den Untersuchungsdimensionen Erwerbsstelle, Erwerbsverlauf und Lebenslage unterschieden. Hierbei wird gezeigt, dass Aussagen über das prekäre Potenzial einer Erwerbsarbeit nur bedingt Rückschlüsse auf die Prekarität der Erwerbs- und Lebenslage zulassen. Zugleich wird vorgeschlagen, systematischer zwischen Prekarität im Sinne einer negativen statistischen Abweichung von den sozialen Normalstadards eines geschützten Arbeitsverhältnisses und einer subjektiv wahrgenommenen, gefühlten Prekarität zu unterscheiden. Diese Unterscheidung bietet die Möglichkeit, die Auswirkungen von Prekarisierung nicht nur an den Rändern der Arbeitsgesellschaft zu untersuchen, sondern auch in ihrer Mitte.

description: Neutron stars are astrophysical laboratories of many extremes of physics. Their rich phenomenology provides insights into the state and composition of matter at densities which cannot be reached in terrestrial experiments. Since the core of a mature neutron star is expected to be dominated by superfluid and superconducting components, observations also probe the dynamics of large-scale quantum condensates. The testing and understanding of the relevant theory tends to focus on the interface between the astrophysics phenomenology and nuclear physics. The connections with low-temperature experiments tend to be ignored. However, there has been dramatic progress in understanding laboratory condensates (from the different phases of superfluid helium to the entire range of superconductors and cold atom condensates). In this review, we provide an overview of these developments, compare and contrast the mathematical descriptions of laboratory condensates and neutron stars and summarise the current experimental state-of-the-art. This discussion suggests novel ways that we may make progress in understanding neutron star physics using low-temperature laboratory experiments.

description: Excerpts from the paper: This report identifies the size distributions of beef cattle herds, major forage grazed, and cattle systems used, as well as other structural characteristics of feeder cattle and nonfed slaughter cattle production in the major cattle raising areas of the United States. More specific objectives are to: 1) Identify subregions of the country that are relatively homogeneous in terms of basic resources, including climate, topography, soils, and vegetation, but also in terms of beef cattle and forage production techniques, management practices, and herd size distributions. 2) Identify the various cattle raising systems used in each area, including those used to produce stockers, feeders, and slaughter cattle. Included in these system identifications are the kinds and amounts of forage grazed, seasons of use, supplemental feeding practices, and timing of production. 3) Determine the proportion of all beef cattle raisers and total beef cattle raised for each system identified.

description: The problem of constructing Bayesian optimal discriminating designs for a class of regression models with respect to the T-optimality criterion introduced by Atkinson and Fedorov (1975a) is considered. It is demonstrated that the discretization of the integral with respect to the prior distribution leads to locally T-optimal discriminating design problems with a large number of model comparisons. Current methodology for the numerical construction of discrimination designs can only deal with a few comparisons, but the discretization of the Bayesian prior easily yields to discrimination design problems for more than 100 competing models. A new efficient method is developed to deal with problems of this type. It combines some features of the classical exchange type algorithm with the gradient methods. Convergence is proved and it is demonstrated that the new method can find Bayesian optimal discriminating designs in situations where all currently available procedures fail.

description: The global movement of sea freight provides a significant pathway for the movement of and introduction of unwanted exotic organisms. Along with the potential economic and environmental impacts, there is loss of biodiversity for the receiving country. While risk analysis and profiling; offshore cleaning stations; and visual inspection at the border during unloading mitigate the risk of introduction, it is time and labour intensive, with a high risk of slippage. The ability to rapidly survey a larger proportion of sea containers for external contaminants to both improve detection of unwanted organisms and reduce biosecurity risk is being addressed with research to develop semiautomated container scanning tools for seaports. This is based on two key technologies: a scanning system using cameras in conjunction with edge-applied neural networks, and laser-based topology scanning. Two pilot studies using cameras demonstrated that a deep-learning neural network could be used to successfully identify externally contaminated sea containers. Current research aims to extend the pilot studies to improve the robustness of detection systems, whilst also developing an imaging and computing system that would allow for the system to be deployed in a port environment. The laser-based topology scanning technology will lead to an anomaly detection system, based on the identification of deviation from the expected smooth and largely uniform surface topography of a shipping container. Deviation may indicate the presence of a contaminant. By selecting suitable wavelengths, the system can also use spectral information to maximum the reflectance difference between contamination and container surface. The advantage of topography scanning laser approach is that it is much less computation intensive as a simple threshold can be used to identify the possible contamination based on roughness, reflectivity, and protrusion in real time. Results to date show that there are consistent spectral differences between container and contaminations, particularly around 1450 nm where contaminations such as insects and soil have a lower reflectance due to absorbance caused by the presence of water. Results from studies using the two technologies will be presented, along with an examination of potential challenges to the application and suitability of these systems in a seaport environment. The need to improve detection of unwanted organisms in a sea port environment makes the use of these technologies vital if biosecurity risk is to be reduced.

Here we report on a monitoring campaign of 4U 0142+61 from 2011 July 26 - 2016 June 12 using the Swift X-ray Telescope, continuing a 16 year timing campaign with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We show that 4U 0142+61 had two radiatively loud timing events, on 2011 July 29 and 2015 February 28, both with short soft gamma-ray bursts, and a long-lived flux decay associated with each case. We show that the 2015 timing event resulted in a net spin-down of the pulsar due to over-recovery of a glitch. We compare this timing event to previous such events in other high-magnetic-field pulsars, and discuss net spin-down glitches now seen in several young, high-B pulsars.

description: La cultura antica aveva due termini per indicare le epidemie: il primo era appunto epidemia, ovvero “ciò che è sopra al demos”, il secondo è loimos, la pestilenza. Oltre alla celebre descrizione della peste di Atene da parte di Tucidide, un altro famoso loimos dell’antichità è descritto da Galeno: la ‘peste antonina’, che, arrivata da Oriente, sconvolse l’Impero Romano tra il 165 e il 180 d.C. Galeno spiega l’origine di tale pestilenza nell’interazione tra ambiente e costituzioni fisiche individuali, tuttavia vede i suoi metodi diagnostici messi in crisi proprio da tale pestilenza.

Ancient culture had two terms for epidemics: the first was epidemic, or ‘what is above the demos’, and the second was loimos, plague. Besides the famous description of the plague in Athens by Thucydides, another famous ancient loimos is described by Galen: the ‘Antonine plague’, which arrived from the East and devastated the Roman Empire between 165 and 180 AD. Galen explains the origin of this pestilence in the interaction between environment and individual physical constitutions, but nevertheless sees his diagnostic methods undermined by this pestilence.

description: This study evaluated the possible protective effect of Crocus sativus L. (saffron) in the treatment of renal calculi. Aqueous extract of saffron (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, daily) was administered intraperitoneally in two regimens of protective or curative, using male Wistar rats. Urolithiasis was induced by ethylene glycol (% 0.75) in drinking water. Urine was collected for biochemical analysis and the kidneys were prepared for total lipid peroxide and histological evaluation. Ethylene glycol feeding resulted in an increased urine output, renal excretion of oxalate and decreased excretion of citrate and magnesium. Saffron did not show diuretic effect; however, it significantly reduced the elevated urinary oxalate in prophylactic (50 and 100 mg/kg) and curative (100 mg/kg) studies. Only the high dose of prophylactic regimen restored citrate concentration of urine. Increased number of calcium oxalate crystals deposits in the kidney tissue of calculogenic rats was significantly reverted by the prophylactic and high dose of curative saffron treatment. Malondialdehyde (MDA, a lipid peroxidation product) in the kidneys was increased following the lithogenic treatment; however, prophylactic (50, 100 mg/kg) and curative (100 mg/kg) regimens with saffron reduced the elevated levels of MDA. Results in the current study indicate that saffron can protect against ethylene glycol induced calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis. The mechanisms underlying this effect are mediated possibly through effect on the urinary concentration of stone-forming constituents and an antioxidant effect.

description: In den privaten Haushalten kann ein Brennstoffzellen-Hausenergiesystem wegen der hohen Stromkennzahl einen erheblichen Beitrag zur angestrebten Reduzierung der CO2-Emissionen und des Primärenergiebedarfs leisten. Wesentlicher Bestandteil des Brennstoffzellensystems ist die Gaserzeugung und Gasreinigung zur Produktion von CO-freiem Wasserstoff aus Erdgas. Die bestehenden Prototypen der Gasprozessoren erreichen bislang noch nicht die avisierten Wirkungsgrade und Standzeiten. Daher ist eine stetige Weiterentwicklung erforderlich. Ziel dieser Arbeit war daher, mittels Simulationsrechnungen die Möglichkeiten zu untersuchen, die Gaserzeugungseinheit einer Hausenergieversorgungsanlage durch konstruktive und verfahrenstechnische Veränderungen energetisch und sicherheitstechnisch zu verbessern. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein Modell der Gaserzeugung entwickelt, das die konstruktiven Gegebenheiten detailliert berücksichtigt und alle Energieflüsse innerhalb des Systems hinreichend genau erfasst (mehrdimensionales Modell). Zur Untersuchung der verbesserten Energiezufuhr in den Reformierungsreaktor wurden verschiedene konstruktive Varianten zur Beheizung des Reaktors geprüft, um den Energieeintrag in den Reformer an der Stelle zu erhöhen, wo die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit und entsprechend der Energiebedarf am größten sind. Großes Potential zur Steigerung der Effizienz des Gaserzeugungssystems bietet die Rückführung des Anodenrestgases auf den Reformerbrenner. Bei dieser Rezirkulation können allerdings Probleme wie z. B. Schwankungen in der Anodenrestgasmenge und Zusammensetzung auftreten, welche in allen Betriebszuständen beherrschbar sein müssen. Für den Normalbetrieb, für das Anfahren und für unvorhergesehene Störfälle wurden stationäre und dynamische Simulationen durchgeführt, mit denen die sicherheits- und verfahrenstechnischen Grenzen der Anodenrestgasrückführung ermittelt wurden. Anhand von weiteren Simulationsrechnungen erfolgte eine Optimierung der Wärmeintegration und daraus resultierend die Entwicklung eines neuen Wärmeübertragernetzwerkes. Auf Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse wurde schließlich ein Vorschlag für eine Neukonstruktion des Gaserzeugungssystems erarbeitet, der die wesentlichen Schwachstellen des bestehenden Systems beseitigt. Durch vergleichende Simulationsrechungen konnte belegt werden, dass sich der Wirkungsgrad der Gaserzeugung durch konstruktive Veränderungen, aber auch durch Optimierung der Betriebsparameter, noch erheblich steigern lässt.

Lett. 78, 5022 (1997)], provides an important measure of entanglement for a general pair of qubits that is faithful: strictly positive for entangled states and vanishing for all separable states. Such a measure captures the entire content of entanglement, providing necessary and sufficient conditions for separability. We present an extension of concurrence to multiparticle pure states in arbitrary dimensions by a new framework using the Lagrange's identity and wedge product representation of separability conditions, which coincides with the "I-concurrence" of Rungta et al. [Phys. Rev. A 64, 042315 (2001)] who proposed by extending Wootters's spin-flip operator to a so-called universal inverter superoperator. Our framework exposes an inherent geometry of entanglement, and may be useful for the further extensions to mixed and continuous variable states.

What does the local structure of a planar graph tell us about its global structure?

Publisher: name: Technische Universität Dortmund

Subjects: subject: 004

description: The local k-neighborhood of a vertex v in an unweighted graph G = (V,E) with vertex set V and edge set E is the subgraph induced by all vertices of distance at most k from v. The rooted k-neighborhood of v is also called a k-disk around vertex v. If a graph has maximum degree bounded by a constant d, and k is also constant, the number of isomorphism classes of k-disks is constant as well. We can describe the local structure of a bounded-degree graph G by counting the number of isomorphic copies in G of each possible k-disk. We can summarize this information in form of a vector that has an entry for each isomorphism class of k-disks. The value of the entry is the number of isomorphic copies of the corresponding k-disk in G. We call this vector frequency vector of k-disks. If we only know this vector, what does it tell us about the structure of G? In this paper we will survey a series of papers in the area of Property Testing that leads to the following result (stated informally): There is a k = k(ε,d) such that for any planar graph G its local structure (described by the frequency vector of k-disks) determines G up to insertion and deletion of at most εd n edges (and relabelling of vertices).

description: We study a relation between three different formulations of theorems on separable determination - one using the concept of rich families, second via the concept of suitable models and third, a new one, suggested in this paper, using the notion of $ω$-monotone mappings. In particular, we show that in Banach spaces all those formulations are in a sense equivalent and we give a positive answer to two questions of O. Kalenda and the author. Our results enable us to obtain new statements concerning separable determination of $σ$-porosity (and of similar notions) in the language of rich families; thus, not using any terminology from logic or set theory. Moreover, we prove that in Asplund spaces, generalized lushness is separably determined.

Year: 2016

description: This study examines governance and public service delivery of water supply in Akaki-kality sub- city. The key objectives of the study are: assess the effectiveness of the government system in water supply service delivery with respect to CAR frame work, assess the satisfaction of clients in water service delivery in Akaki-kality sub-city and to show the major obstacles of water service. Qualitative and semi-quantitative methods with stratified sampling are used in the study. Beside that key-informant interview also apply in the study. The study covers availability and accesses of water to observe the satisfaction of the clients more than 50% of the respondent are not satisfied with water service supply in Akaki-kality sub-city. With regard to effectiveness of government system most of the respondents disagree about effectiveness of the system. Findings show that lack of transparency, accountability and responsiveness are obvious in water service supply, restriction of private sector in the supply of potable drinking water with pipe line, the community forums role is insignificant in decision making of water service and NGO's play great role in providing drinking water for Akaki-kality clients.

description: Parkinson-Betroffene im ‘Frühstadium‘ erhalten meist Physiotherapie zur Erhaltung ihrer motorischen Fähigkeiten. Kaum beachtet wird jedoch, dass die Sprechfunktionen ebenfalls beeinträchtigt sind, was sich negativ auf den sprachlichen Ausdruck und die Kommunikation im Alltag auswirkt. Wenn nun Personen mit Morbus Parkinson frühzeitig eine spezifische, sprachliche Gruppenförderung angeboten wird, welche Erfahrungen werden dann in Bezug auf ihr Sprechen gemacht? Die zwei Autorinnen, eine Yogalehrerin und eine Krankenschwester, haben ihre beruflichen Erfahrungen mit theoretischem Wissen verknüpft und ein neuartiges Mantra-Yoga Programm kreiert. Dieses wurde in einem Verlaufsprojekt mit acht Parkinson-Betroffenen anhand der Beobachtungen stetig optimiert. In der vorliegenden Fallstudie konnte in zwei von drei Fällen eine positive Wirkung nachgewiesen werden.

description: Numerous biological approaches are available to characterise the mechanisms which govern the formation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) colonies. To understand how the kinematics of single and pairs of hESCs impact colony formation, we study their mobility characteristics using time-lapse imaging. We perform a detailed statistical analysis of their speed, survival, directionality, distance travelled and diffusivity. We confirm that single and pairs of cells migrate as a diffusive random walk. Moreover, we show that the presence of Cell Tracer significantly reduces hESC mobility. Our results open the path to employ the theoretical framework of the diffusive random walk for the prognostic modelling and optimisation of the growth of hESC colonies. Indeed, we employ this random walk model to estimate the seeding density required to minimise the occurrence of hESC colonies arising from more than one founder cell and the minimal cell number needed for successful colony formation. We believe that our prognostic model can be extended to investigate the kinematic behaviour of somatic cells emerging from hESC differentiation and to enable its wide application in phenotyping of pluripotent stem cells for large scale stem cell culture expansion and differentiation platforms.

description: To evaluate the fatigue behavior of prestressed concrete, bridges for instance, it is necessary to determine the built in tendons’ fatigue strength. Therefore, prestressing steel samples (strands), obtained from an existing bridge built in 1957, were examined and tested by TU Dortmund University, see [1, 2]. Additionally, similar prestressing steels were tested in comparable experiments. As large experiments on prestressed concrete beams under cyclic load with small stress range are very time-consuming and expensive, an early prediction of failure trend in the experiment is desirable. Here, it is shown that a crack width function can be evolved dependent on the process of single wire failures. This process will differ for each experiment because of the randomness of single wire failure. Description of this uncertainty is the first step and is achieved by a predictive distribution for the counting process of wire failure. The second step is to include these results into the model for the crack width process for which a nonlinear regression model based on a physically evolved function depending on the counting process is suitable. For both modeling steps, we present a Bayesian estimation and prediction procedure.

Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this case study is to investigate the role of Bank of Abyssinia in financing the government priority economic sector projects. The study used qualitative and quantitative research approach. Equally, the nine years data of BOA analyzed and primary and secondary source data. The analysis and reviews reviewed using the comprises bank's annual reports and document from 2005 to 2013 with period. Beside this the study has also used the interview. The study result shows that BOA has achieved significant progress; such as, growth of paid-up capital, the expansion of network branches, increase of deposit, increase of saving level of the customer, technology application and loan provision. Despite their continuous improvement in all aspects, there are limitations in their capacity to attract a large number of clients with respect to other competent private banks, limited financial capacity and the government loan provision ceiling. Moreover, loan provision for government priority economic sector projects such as agriculture and industry is relatively very low and insignificant. This is the result of the bank failure to have sufficient awareness about the country's priority economic sector projects and the loan policy related to them. In conclusion it is recommended that the BOA should strive to optimize its resource mobilization by maintaining objectives of the bank alongside with maximizing their contribution to the country's socio-economic development
