description: $\hat q$ is the average squared transverse momentum transfer per unit length to a high-energy particle traversing a QCD medium such as a quark-gluon plasma. We find the (UV-regulated) value of $\hat q$ to leading order in the weak coupling limit, $\alphas(T) \ll 1$. We then use this value to generalize previous analytic results on the gluon bremsstrahlung and pair production rates for massless high-energy particles in a weakly-coupled quark-gluon plasma, at next-to-leading logarithmic order.

Extended Object and Group Tracking with Elliptic Random Hypersurface Models
Creators: name: Baum, Marcus
name: Noack, Benjamin
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: This paper provides new results and insights for tracking an extended target object modeled with an Elliptic Random Hypersurface Model (RHM). An Elliptic RHM specifies the relative squared Mahalanobis distance of a measurement source to the center of the target object by means of a one-dimensional random scaling factor. It is shown that uniformly distributed measurement sources on an ellipse lead to a uniformly distributed squared scaling factor. Furthermore, a Bayesian inference mechanisms tailored to elliptic shapes is introduced, which is also suitable for scenarios with high measurement noise. Closed-form expressions for the measurement update in case of Gaussian and uniformly distributed squared scaling factors are derived.

description: An orbitope is the convex hull of an orbit of a compact group acting linearly on a vector space. These highly symmetric convex bodies lie at the crossroads of several fields, in particular convex geometry, optimization, and algebraic geometry. We present a self-contained theory of orbitopes, with particular emphasis on instances arising from the groups SO(n) and O(n). These include Schur-Horn orbitopes, tautological orbitopes, Caratheodory orbitopes, Veronese orbitopes and Grassmann orbitopes. We study their face lattices, their algebraic boundary hypersurfaces, and representations as spectrahedra or projected spectrahedra.

Strain rate effects in one-dimensional consolidation of peat
Creators: name: Baig, Khaliq Riaz
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A series of one-dimensional strain rate controlled consolidation tests were performed on remolded peat to establish the void ratio - effective stress - strain rate relationship for this soil. The relationship was found to be independent of the size of sample. In addition, the void ratio - permeability relationship was also determined and was found to be independent of both the strain rate and the size of the sample. From these relationships the behaviour of any size sample subjected to incremental loading was predicted in terms of the time - settlement and the time - pore pressure curves. These predictions included both 'primary' and 'secondary' settlement. The comparison of observed and predicted time - settlement and time - pore pressure curves was found to be in close agreement.
The Denver Art Museum and the Bilbao Effect

description: I came to the idea of wanting to understand new museum buildings as social technology, not just as mere shelter, because of the process around the new wing of the Denver Art Museum. It would later become the Hamilton Building, but in the late 1990s when I was in school in Boulder, it was just called the expansion to the Denver Art Museum. As the bond issue went up for a vote, the idea of building a new wing to the museum was expressed not only in terms of need for more art display space, but also in economic and social terms: the new building would generate revenue through visitation and spending at downtown, and the new building would showcase Denver as the cultural center of the region, possessing the biggest and best museum in eight states. Then, when the initial model for Libeskind’s building—called Nexus at the time—was unveiled, the claim for the building expanded further to include revitalizing a neighborhood, generating international tourism, and representing Denver to the world.

Distribution: Hares were observed at Ras Al-Ayn, Al-Qamishli, vicinity of Aleppo, Manbij, Jarablus, al-Jabbul, around Deir ez-Zor, and ar-Raqqa (Kumerloeve 1975), steppes around Deir ez-Zor and ar-Raqqa (Aidek 2010; Murdoch & Aidek 2012) without being assigned to a species.
Recent records: Abu Khashab, Abu Qubays, ach-Chola, ad-Dukhoul, Al- Bolaiyah, Al-Furuklus, Al-Furunlok, Al-Hjeifat steppe, Al-Lajat, Mabroukah, Al-Qseir, Al-Thlithawat, Al-Rafeed, an-Nasriyeh, ar-Rastan, ar-Rawda steppe, ash-Shaddady, as-Sarayim, as-Sukhnah, Atheria, az-Zelif, az-Zimlah, Bq’sam, Deir Sawwan, Efreen, el-Ukershe, Feidhat Ibn Muwyin’e, Ghmam, Jabal Abd Al-Aziz, Jabal Al-Bilaas, Jarablus, Jubata Al-Khashab, Kabajep, Kasab, Khadhra Almay, Khanaser, Mhardeh, Al-Qaryatein, around Salamiyah, Slouq, Tual Al-Aba, Um Medf’a, Wadi Al-Azib, Wadi Al-Qarn, Al-Nabk, Balluran, Qarajaleh, Slenfeh, Al-Shardoub Forest, Harf Al-Mseitrah, Beshraghi, Jaiboul, and Safita (2006–2023).
Remarks: Two species occur in the Middle East and Syria, Lepus capensis Linnaeus, 1758 and Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778 (Harrison & Bates 1991). However, due to taxonomic revisions, their current distribution is not fully understood (see Angermann 1983). Based on a specimen collected from Al-Qaryatein and deposited in the BMNH, Harrison & Bates (1991) concluded that the hares range might be transitional between L. capensis arabicus and L. europaeus syriacus. Molecular assessments would be crucial to gain insight into the taxonomic complexity of the two hare species.

description: In this work we analyse the topological and dynamical properties of a simple model of complex food webs, namely the niche model. In order to underline competition among species, we introduce "prey" and "predators" weighted overlap graphs derived from the niche model and compare synthetic food webs with real data. Doing so, we find new tests for the goodness of synthetic food web models and indicate a possible direction of improvement for existing ones. We then exploit the weighted overlap graphs to define a competition kernel for Lotka-Volterra population dynamics and find that for such a model the stability of food webs decreases with its ecological complexity.

title: Die Governance der Energietransformation von Deutschland und Österreich im Vergleich
Creators: name: Wenz, Niclas
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: Aufgrund des fortschreitenden Klimawandels, schwindender fossiler Energieressourcen und zunehmender geopolitischer Abhängigkeiten steht die Energiepolitik vor der Aufgabe, die Energiebereitstellung auf erneuerbare Energien umzustellen. Damit einher geht die Notwendigkeit, die bestehende Infrastruktur der Energieübertragung anzupassen, indem neue Trassen gebaut, bestehende Netze nachverstärkt und Speicher errichtet werden. Zunehmende Energiekosten und der kontinuierliche Anstieg des weltweiten Energiekonsums er-fordern, die Effizienz im Wohnungswesen, der Industrie sowie im Verkehr zu heben. Dies bedingt eine Modernisierung, Flexibilisierung und Digitalisierung der Energienutzung, so-dass Energieangebot und Nachfrage zukünftig besser aufeinander abgestimmt werden können. Der Ruf nach mehr Zentralisierung und einem stärkeren „lead“ in der Energiewende Deutschlands mag kurzfristige politische Entscheidungen begünstigen und Politikblockaden reduzieren, der langfristigen Zielerreichung und Performanz der Energietransformation wird er jedoch nicht gerecht. Der Vergleich zwischen Deutschland und Österreich macht vielmehr deutlich, dass die Energiepolitik in Deutschland nicht an der Komplexität föderaler Verhandlungsstrukturen und informeller Netzwerke versagt, sondern dass es ihr daran im erheblichen Maß fehlt.

description: We investigate two systematic constructions of inverse-closed subalgebras of a given Banach algebra or operator algebra A, both of which are inspired by classical principles of approximation theory. The first construction requires a closed derivation or a commutative automorphism group on A and yields a family of smooth inverse-closed subalgebras of A that resemble the usual Holder-Zygmund spaces. The second construction starts with a graded sequence of subspaces of A and yields a class of inverse-closed subalgebras that resemble the classical approximation spaces. We prove a theorem of Jackson-Bernstein type to show that in certain cases both constructions are equivalent. These results about abstract Banach algebras are applied to algebras of infinite matrices with off-diagonal decay. In particular, we obtain new and unexpected conditions of off-diagonal decay that are preserved under matrix inversion.

A Two-Step Approach for Offset and Position Estimation from Pseudo-Ranges Applied to Multilateration Tracking
Creators: name: Beutler, Frederik
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: In multilateration tracking, an object, e.g., an airplane, emits a known reference signal, which is received by several base stations (sensors) located at known positions. The receiving times of the signal at the sensors correspond to the times of arrival (TOA) plus an unknown offset, because the emission time is unknown. Usually, for estimating the position of the object, the receiving times are converted to a larger number of time differences of arrival (TDOA) in order to eliminate the unknown offset. To avoid this conversion, the proposed approach directly uses the receiving times. This is achieved by 1. determining the optimal offset from the redundant measurements in closed form and 2. by considering a modified measurement equation. As a result, position estimation can be performed by optimal stochastic linearization.

The kinematic component of the cosmological redshift

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is widely believed that the cosmological redshift is not a Doppler shift. However, Bunn & Hogg have recently pointed out that to settle properly this problem, one has to transport parallelly the velocity four-vector of a distant galaxy to the observer's position. Performing such a transport along the null geodesic of photons arriving from the galaxy, they found that the cosmological redshift is purely kinematic. Here we argue that one should rather transport the velocity four-vector along the geodesic connecting the points of intersection of the world-lines of the galaxy and the observer with the hypersurface of constant cosmic time. We find that the resulting relation between the transported velocity and the redshift of arriving photons is not given by a relativistic Doppler formula. Instead, for small redshifts it coincides with the well known non-relativistic decomposition of the redshift into a Doppler (kinematic) component and a gravitational one. We perform such a decomposition for arbitrary large redshifts and derive a formula for the kinematic component of the cosmological redshift, valid for any FLRW cosmology. In particular, in a universe with Omega_m = 0.24 and Omega_Lambda = 0.76, a quasar at a redshift 6, at the time of emission of photons reaching us today had the recession velocity v = 0.997c. This can be contrasted with v = 0.96c, had the redshift been entirely kinematic. Thus, for recession velocities of such high-redshift sources, the effect of deceleration of the early Universe clearly prevails over the effect of its relatively recent acceleration. Last but not least, we show that the so-called proper recession velocities of galaxies, commonly used in cosmology, are in fact radial components of the galaxies' four-velocity vectors. As such, they can indeed attain superluminal values, but should not be regarded as real velocities.

Efficient Multilateration Tracking with Concurrent Offset Estimation using Stochastic Filtering Techniques

name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: Multilateration systems operate by deter- mining distances between a signal transmitter and a number of receivers. In aerial surveillance, radio sig- nals are emitted as Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) by the aircraft, representing the signal transmitter. A number of base stations (sensors) receive the signals at different times. Most common approaches use time dif- ference of arrival (TDOA) measurements, calculated by subtracting receiving times of one receiver from another. As TDOAs require intersecting hyperboloids, which is considered a hard task, this paper follows a different ap- proach, using raw receiving times. Thus, estimating the signal's emission time is required, captured as a com- mon offset within an augmented version of the system state. This way, the multilateration problem is reduced to intersecting cones. Estimation of the aircraft's posi- tion based on a nonlinear measurement model and an underlying linear system model is achieved using a lin- ear regression Kalman filter [1, 2]. A decomposed com- putation of the filter step is introduced, allowing a more efficient calculation.

description: A modification scheme to the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is introduced based on the concept of the unscented transform (Julier et al., 2000; Julier and Uhlmann, 2004), which therefore will be called the ensemble unscented Kalman filter (EnUKF) in this work. When the error distribution of the analysis is symmetric (not necessarily Gaussian), it can be shown that, compared to the ordinary EnKF, the EnUKF has more accurate estimations of the ensemble mean and covariance of the background by examining the multidimensional Taylor series expansion term by term. This implies that, the EnUKF may have better performance in state estimation than the ordinary EnKF in the sense that the deviations from the true states are smaller. For verification, some numerical experiments are conducted on a 40-dimensional system due to Lorenz and Emanuel (Lorenz and Emanuel, 1998). Simulation results support our argument.

Above a critical coupling strength the qubit rotations become synchronized with the driving field phase and their evolution becomes entangled even if two qubits may significantly differ from one another. Such entangled qubits can radiate entangled photons that opens new opportunities for entangled wireless communication in a microwave range.

description: Kendi kendine meme muayenesi(KKMM), kadının kendi memelerini elleri ile muayene etmesidir. Kendi kendine meme muayenesini düzenli olarak yapan her kadın, memelerini tanır ve normal meme dokusunun nasıl olduğunu öğrenir. Böylelikle memelerde olası bir yumru, kalınlaşma şişlik, portakal kabuğu görünümü, meme ucunda büzüşme veya meme ucunun geri kaçması gibi kanser belirtisi taşıyabilecek durumlarda hekime başvurması gerektiğini bilir. Bu gibi durumlar meme kanseri tanısında göz ardı edilemeyecek durumlardır ve kendi kendine meme muayenesi meme kanserinde erken tanı ve tedavi için önemli bir rol oynar.

Meme kanseri, Dünya’da kadınlarda görülen kanserler arasında ilk sıradadır. Genel olarak ise akciğer kanserinden sonra gelir. Meme kanserinin bu kadar yaygın olması, meme kanserinde erken tanı için çalışmalar yapılması gerektiğini açıkça göstermektedir. Meme kanserinde erken tanı denildiğinde Türkiye orta gelirli gelişmekte olan bir ülke olduğundan akla genellikle düzenli mamografiden önce kendi kendine meme muayenesi (KKMM) gelmektedir. Kendi kendine meme muayenesi (KKMM), kolay uygulanması ve hiçbir maliyet gerektirmemesi yönüyle, pahalı bir yöntem olan düzenli mamografiden daha fazla kullanılmaktadır.

Kendi kendine meme muayenesi (KKMM) uygulamasında ebeler, kadınların belli aralıklarla memelerini kontrol etmeleri gerektiği konusunda kadınları bilgilendirmede, meme kanserini ileri aşamalara ulaşmadan fark etmeye yardımcı olmada ve kolay tedavinin başlangıcını oluşturmakta rol oynarlar.

**Meme kanseri, dünya çapında kanser ölümlerinin önde gelen nedenlerinden biridir ve görülme sıklığı giderek artmaktadır.  Düzenli yapılan kendi kendine meme muayenesi, kadınlarda meme kanserinin erken teşhisi açısından önem kazandırırken aynı zamanda maliyeti olmaması sebebiyle de uygulanması kolay bir yöntemdir.  Maliyeti olmaması ve işlemi uygulama süresi kısa olmasına rağmen nasıl yapılacağı bilinmediği için uygulanma oranı düşüktür. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmanın amacı İstanbul/ Ümraniye'de bulunan 20-50- yaş arası kadınların kendi kendine meme muayenesi konusunda bilgi düzeylerini araştırmaktır.**

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: In this paper, a new class of nonlinear Bayesian estimators based on a special space partitioning structure, generalized Octrees, is presented. This structure minimizes memory and calculation overhead. It is used as a container framework for a set of node functions that approximate a density piecewise. All necessary operations are derived in a very general way in order to allow for a great variety of Bayesian estimators. The presented estimators are especially well suited for multi-modal nonlinear estimation problems. The running time performance of the resulting estimators is first analyzed theoretically and then backed by means of simulations. All operations have a linear running time in the number of tree nodes.

A study of the formation of vortices within a multiple pump sump
Creators: name: Spurr, Kerrin J. W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A literature survey was undertaken to collect information on multiple pump-sump design, the problems involved and solutions offered by various authors. This led to a study of the vortex forming mechanisms and a detailed examination of their significance to the design of a particular multiple pump-sump. An 'in-line' sump layout was selected because it was considered that such an arrangement may give the smallest sump volume, which often proves the cheapest. Though this layout is known to give rise to severe vortex formations, a better understanding of the vortex forming mechanisms might permit the development of a satisfactorily operating 'in-line' sump. Hot film anemometry techniques were used to monitor the turbulence levels within the sump and provide an index of the condition of the flow entering the bellmouth intakes. Considerable practical difficulties were experienced in making the anemometer probe function reliably. Because of the inherent inaccuracy of any unidirectional sensor within a fluid, the normal turbulence intensity parameter [formula omitted] was replaced by measurements of the main stream velocity fluctuations (dU), which offered a better representation of the comparative state of the flows within the sump. It was found that the introduction of various flow guides about the bellmouth intakes to physically suppress eddy shedding from the adjacent upstream pumps, significantly improved the sump performance. The tapering of the sump by varying the angle between the channel walls to reduce the deceleration of the flow along the channel, also added to the flow stability. It was concluded that the present study indicated the feasibility of constructing a workable 'in-line' sump configuration, and that further investigations encorporatlng direct pump efficiency tests in conjunction with turbulence measurements would be worth while.

Toward explanation of the X-ray - radio correlation in the Vela pulsar
Creators: name: Petrova, S. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent observations of the Vela pulsar have revealed a peculiar connection of its emission in the soft X-ray and radio ranges. We suggest the model of the radio pulse formation in the Vela pulsar, develop the theory of the radio photon reprocessing to high energies and on this basis interpret the observed X-ray - radio connection. The processes of spontaneous and induced scattering of radio waves off the spiraling particles and their observational consequences are examined. The particles are assumed to acquire relativistic gyration energies due to resonant absorption of the radio emission in the outer magnetosphere of a pulsar. The spectral and angular distributions of the spontaneously scattered power are analyzed and compared with the characteristics of the particle synchrotron emission. The consequences of intensity transfer from the radio beam to the background in the course of induced scattering are studied as well. It is demonstrated that the induced scattering can account for the basic features of the Vela's radio profile and its pulse-to-pulse fluctuations. In particular, it can explain a greater role of the leading component and its earlier arrival in stronger pulses. The studies of the radio photon reprocessing to high energies in application to the Vela pulsar shows that the scattered and synchrotron spectra peak at 0.8 and 0.2 keV, respectively, with the corresponding luminosities of 10^{29} erg s^{-1} and 10^{31} erg s^{-1}. Within the framework of our model, the observed X-ray - radio connection is explained in terms of the interplay between the processes of induced and spontaneous scattering of the radio pulse.

Specialist studies in education not elsewhere classified

description: In Australia there are a significant proportion of young people existing in debilitating lives, who, for a range of reasons, are no longer attending school. In this thesis I ask, what work is required of schools to reconcile these young people with education following their, often, incapacitating engagements with educational and social disadvantage and exclusion. This thesis comes from an eighteen month ethnographic study conducted across the four school sites of one Australian organisation, Youth Off The Streets (YOTS). Fieldwork involved the use of two ethnographic techniques: in-depth interviews with 20 young people and 18 staff, and observations of over 100 staff, young people, volunteers, parents and community members. The use of ethnographic techniques has been combined with a document analysis that argues for an understanding of these young people as educationally ‘displaced’. I have drawn predominantly on the work of Foucault and his understandings of power relations as the vehicle of analysis. In particular his work on states of domination, sovereign power, silence and freedom have been useful in developing an understanding of young people’s lives as embedded in complexity and chaos through a range of debilitating relationships. This has been combined with the work of Goffman, Lyng and Hope to frame these young people as skilled ‘edgeworkers’. I argue that through YOTS’s construction of a number of conditions that involve the production of alternative knowledges, the realisation of relations of care and practices of care, and an innovative use of power relations that create freedom, the staff at the YOTS schools have been able to begin a process of reconciliation between these young people and their education

description: For systems of $N$ charged fermions (e.g. electrons) interacting with longitudinal optical quantized lattice vibrations of a polar crystal we derive upper and lower bounds on the minimal energy within the model of H. Fröhlich. The only parameters of this model, after removing the ultraviolet cutoff, are the constants $U>0$ and $α>0$ measuring the electron-electron and the electron-phonon coupling strengths. They are constrained by the condition $\sqrt{2}α U$ the phonon-mediated electron-electron attraction overcomes the Coulomb repulsion and $E_N$ behaves like $-N^{7/3}$.

description: We consider a 4+N dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a non-linear sigma model. This theory admits a solution in which the N extra dimensions contract exponentially while the ordinary space expand exponentially. Physically, the non-linear sigma fields induce the dynamical compactification of the extra dimensions, which in turn drives inflation. No inflatons are required.

Stresses in pitch-cambered glulam beams
Creators: name: Thut, Walter K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The stress distribution near the centerline apex of pitch-cambered glulam beams is analysed. The analysis is done with an orthotropic trapezoidal finite element utilizing the stiffness approach. The element is tested with various grid sizes against known solutions and shown to give an overall accuracy to within five percent. Radial tension stresses perpendicular to grain due to moment, were calculated for various geometries and plotted as a design aid. These stresses can be several times those found in a uniform curved beam. The effect of changing the elastic moduli of the whole beam or individual laminations was investigated and found to be unimportant. Radial stress due to shear forces was found to be unimportant. Radial stress for one typical geometry due to moisture change was investigated in detail. This showed that ten pounds per square inch tensile stress was generated for a one percent change in moisture content. Twenty two tests were performed on tension perpendicular to grain to indicate that the allowable stress would be near thirty five pounds per square inch. A numerical example and design recommendations are included.
Jenkins-CI: automating lab processes
Creators: name: Willighagen, Egon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Jenkins, a digital butler, is a web site platform that supports automation of processes. While originally developed to compile software, its flexibility allows for a wide variety of processes to be automated. In this Science Cafe I will show how I am using Jenkins in my daily scientific research, supporting some repetitive tasks I no longer have to do manually. For example, it compile a wide range of software tools, including BridgeDb, PathVisio plugins, R packages, the Chemistry Development Kit, and other libraries. It is important to note, that Jenkins will attempt to recompile these software libraries each time a change is made. In fact, it will email me, if it failed to compile. But besides building these tools, it also automatically runs test suites, that find regressions, caused by unexpected side effects (or by many other reasons).

Furthermore, Jenkins is not limited to software. Of course, automation needs something a computer can execute, but this need not be compiling and testing of source code alone. I will also show how I use Jenkins to daily create RDF versions of WikiPathways, and how I use this for automated curation of WikiPathways content. I will also show how we use Jenkins in the EU FP7 eNanoMapper project for ontology development.

Conservation and biodiversity

description: Biodiversity is nature’s most valuable resource. The Southern Ocean contains significant levels of marine biodiversity as a result of its isolated history and a combination of exceptional environmental conditions. However, little is known about the spatial and temporal distribution of biodiversity on the Antarctic continental shelf, hindering informed marine spatial planning, policy development underpinning regulation of human activity, and predicting the response of Antarctic marine ecosystems to environmental change. In this thesis, I provide detailed insight into the spatial and temporal distribution of Antarctic benthic macrofaunal and demersal fish biodiversity. Using data from the George V shelf region in East Antarctica, I address some of the main issues currently hindering understanding of the functioning of the Antarctic ecosystem and the distribution of biodiversity at the seafloor. The focus is on spatial biodiversity prediction with particular consideration given to previously unavailable environmental factors that are integral in determining where species are able to live, and the poor relationships often found between species distributions and other environmental factors.

Prediction for $Γ(H\to τ^+τ^-)/ Γ(H\to μ^+μ^-)$ from Non-Abelian Flavor Symmetry

description: It is shown that the ratio of branching ratios in Higgs boson decay $r = Γ(H \to τ^+τ^-)/Γ(H\to μ^+μ^-)$ in a simplified ($T^{'} \times Z_2$) model is $(r)_{T^{'} \times Z_2} \simeq 0.001$. This prediction is on a footing with the successful one in $(s, d)$ mixing, $\tan 2 Θ_{12} = {1/3}(\sqrt{2})$. This value for $r$ differs from that of the minimal standard model by a very large factor (over 250,000) and can provide a smoking gun for ($T^{'} \times Z_2$) flavor symmetry.

Group Processing: Students Reflections on the Experience and Impact of Group Processing

Publisher: name: Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education
Year: 2021

description: Problem-based or Enquiry-based learning is recognized as a transformative pedagogy, but there is a paucity of research examining group processing, a critical component of this pedagogy. Group processing is a structured approach to peer- and self-assessment that encourages learning that is both self-reflective and collaborative. Students develop the skills of peer and self-assessment, they learn to receive and deliver constructive feedback, and they benefit from continuous assessment. This article presents a mixed method study that asked former students, who had taken an enquiry-based learning seminar within the past 10 years, to reflect on their experience of group processing. Participants concluded that, based on their own experience, group processing is a skill transferable to other contexts and had a significant effect on their university experience.

description: The rhombus tilings of a simply connected domain of the Euclidean plane are known to form a flip-connected space (a flip is the elementary operation on rhombus tilings which rotates 180° a hexagon made of three rhombi). Motivated by the study of a quasicrystal growth model, we are here interested in better understanding how "tight" rhombus tiling spaces are flip-connected. We introduce a lower bound (Hamming-distance) on the minimal number of flips to link two tilings (flip-distance), and we investigate whether it is sharp. The answer depends on the number n of different edge directions in the tiling: positive for n=3 (dimer tilings) or n=4 (octogonal tilings), but possibly negative for n=5 (decagonal tilings) or greater values of n. A standard proof is provided for the n=3 and n=4 cases, while the complexity of the n=5 case led to a computer-assisted proof (whose main result can however be easily checked by hand).

The Sliced Gaussian Mixture Filter with Adaptive State Decomposition Depending on Linearization Error

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe

description: In this paper, a novel nonlinear/non-linear model decomposition for the Sliced Gaussian Mixture Filter is presented. Based on the level of nonlinearity of the model, the overall estimation problem is decomposed into a severely nonlinear and a slightly nonlinear part, which are processed by different estimation techniques. To further improve the efficiency of the estimator, an adaptive state decomposition algorithm is introduced that allows decomposition according to the linearization error for nonlinear system and measurement models. Simulations show that this approach has orders of magnitude less complexity compared to other state of the art estimators, while maintaining comparable estimation errors.
Odd Parity and Line Nodes in Non-Symmorphic Superconductors

description: Group theory arguments have been invoked to argue that odd parity order parameters cannot have line nodes in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. In this paper we show that these arguments do not hold for certain non-symmorphic superconductors. Specifically, we demonstrate that when the underlying crystal has a twofold screw axis, half of the odd parity representations vanish on the Brillouin zone face perpendicular to this axis. Many unconventional superconductors have non-symmorphic space groups, and we discuss implications for several materials, including UPt3, UBe13, Li2Pt3B and Na4Ir3O8.

Combined Set-Theoretic and Stochastic Estimation: A Comparison of the SSI and the CS Filter
Creators: name: Klumpp, Vesa
name: Noack, Benjamin
name: Baum, Marcus
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: In estimation theory, mainly set-theoretic or stochastic uncertainty is considered. In some cases, especially when some statistics of a distribution are not known or additional stochastic information is used in a set-theoretic estimator, both types of uncertainty have to be considered. In this paper, two estimators that cope with combined stoachastic and set-theoretic uncertainty are compared, namely the Set-theoretic and Statistical Information filter, which represents the uncertainty by means of random sets, and the Credal State filter, in which the state information is given by sets of probability density functions. The different uncertainty assessment in both estimators leads to different estimation results, even when the prior information and the measurement and system models are equal. This paper explains these differences and states directions, when which estimator should be applied to a given estimation problem.

description: We examine groups whose resonance varieties, characteristic varieties and Sigma-invariants have a natural arithmetic group symmetry, and we explore implications on various finiteness properties of subgroups. We compute resonance varieties, characteristic varieties and Alexander polynomials of Torelli groups, and we show that all subgroups containing the Johnson kernel have finite first Betti number, when the genus is at least four. We also prove that, in this range, the $I$-adic completion of the Alexander invariant is finite-dimensional, and the Kahler property for the Torelli group implies the finite generation of the Johnson kernel.

Dynamics of small perturbations against a stationary polariton distribution

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The dynamics of small perturbations against the stationary density matrix of a pumped polariton system with only one photon polarization is studied. Depending on the way the system is pumped and probed, decay times ranging from 30 to 5000 ps are found. The large decay times under resonant pumping are related to a bottleneck effect in the decay of the excess (probe) populations of dark polariton states. No singular behaviour at the threshold for polariton lasing is observed.
