Status of the Measurement of Neutrino-Electron Elastic Scattering in the NOvA Near Detector
Creators: name: Yiwen Xiao
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Neutrino-electron elastic scattering is a purely leptonic process whose cross section can be precisely calculated in the standard model. A measurement of this process can provide an in-situ constraint to the absolute neutrino flux in an accelerator-based νμ beam. NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino experiment optimized to observe the oscillation of muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos. It consists of a near detector located 1 km downstream of the neutrino production target at Fermilab and a far detector located 810 km away in Ash River, Minnesota. This poster presents the status of the measurement of neutrino-electron elastic scattering in the NOvA near detector includes strategies for selecting events and extracting signals, as well as the prospect of reducing the uncertainty on the NuMI νμ flux.

title: Vergleichende Untersuchungen zu Hammerklavierklängen
Creators: name: Taniguchi, Ai
Year: 2018

description: Gegenstand dieser Arbeit sind Tonaufnahmen und Klanganalysen eines historischen Hammerklaviers, gebaut von Michael Rosenberger um 1820, das über sechs Pedale verfügt. Davon dienen fünf der Klang-Modifizierung sowie der Nachahmung eines Fagotts und das sechste, das sogenannte „Türkische Pedal“ stellt Trommel und Becken als Art Begleitung zur Verfügung. Mittels Methoden des Music Information Retrieval, nämlich auf der Software-Plattform MATLAB basierender Skripte wurden für sämtliche Töne, aufgenommen in verschiedenen Spielweisen und mehreren Pedalkombinationen, zahlreiche Klangparameter berechnet und analysiert, um festzustellen, ob überhaupt und wie genau sich der Einsatz der Pedale auf die Klangeigenschaften auswirkt. Bei einer Betrachtung von 13 Klangdeskriptoren zeigte sich im Vergleich von Spielweisen ohne und mit den verschiedenen Pedal-Kombinationen, dass die Verwendung der Pedale tatsächlich teils drastische Auswirkungen auf die Klangcharakteristika der Töne hat und durch zahlreiche Klangvariationen zweifelsohne zu einem abwechslungsreichen Spiel beitragen kann. Darüber hinaus zeigte ein Vergleich der mit dem Fagott-Pedal erzeugten Töne mit den Tonaufnahmen eines originalen Fagotts, dass es bei den meisten betrachteten Klangdeskriptoren sehr deutliche Unterschiede gibt und die mithilfe des Fagott-Pedals erzeugten, durchaus zwar entfernt Fagott-ähnlichen Töne Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts zwar eine nette Spielerei und wahrscheinlich eine beeindruckende Attraktion gewesen sein mochten, sie aber keinesfalls als Ersatz für ein echtes Fagott dienen können. Beim Klang-Vergleich des Rosenberger-Flügels mit dem Mozart-Flügel, gebaut von Anton Walter um 1780, zeigte sich, dass die Klangeigenschaften beider Instrumente sehr ähnlich sind, obwohl der Mozart-Flügel bereits 40 Jahre früher gebaut worden war und sich in der Zwischenzeit zahlreiche Veränderungen und Verbesserungen bei der Klavier-Konstruktion etabliert hatten.
The summer of our discontent: Anger and hope in hashtag activism

description: Hashtag activism, where individuals use a specific hashtag on social media networks to protest, is a widespread and powerful phenomenon. Highly personal and affective, these movements support a wide variety of causes, although current research tends to focus on more progressive ones. While specific emotions, including anger and hope, are important in offline organization, little research looks at their usage in digital activism. This dissertation focuses on how emotions, specifically anger and hope, are used in Twitter hashtag activism, and their relationship with several key aspects of online social movements. To further extend current understanding, a progressive movement, #BlackLivesMatter, and a conservative movement, Second Amendment rights, are compared. This research aimed to identify how using hope or anger in a tweet related to key topics of discussion, user commitment, and network structure. Over 14 million tweets from both movements were collected from Twitter during June 2020, and then smaller anger and hope datasets were compiled from the English language tweets. A variety of computational and quantitative methods were used. Topic modelling was used to identify key themes, and how they expand on current understandings of why and how emotions are used within activism. Statistical tests, including ANOVA, Tukey HSD and Chi-Square tests were used to understand user commitment, operationalized as repeat tweeting and including movement identifiers in user bios. Network structure and the role of structural holes was explored through network analysis and visualization. Findings from this research indicate that hope and anger are important forces within hashtag activism. Both are associated with statistically significant increases in commitment. Hope is strongly associated with community - including emotional and financial support, celebration and positive self-image-, networked protest, and strategic engagement with powerful establishment figures, businesses and organizations. Anger is strongly associated with mobilization, awareness raising, and engaging those on the periphery of the movement. Within #BlackLivesMatter it is linked to remembrance, while in the gun rights activism, it is linked to extremism, conspiracy theories, and disinformation.

title: Angst vor dem Sprechen in der Fremdsprache
Creators: name: Grosinger, Lisa
Year: 2018

description: Das Sprechen stellt eine der größten Herausforderungen beim Erlernen einer Fremd-sprache dar. Neben den anderen Fertigkeiten verlangt es den größten Anteil an Flexibi-lität und auch Mut sich vor anderen zu äußern. Dies sind nur einige der Gründe dafür, warum es beim Sprechen oftmals zu Hemmungen oder sogar zu Angstzuständen kommt. Da auch die Verfasserin bemerkt hat, dass sie zu Beginn ihres Fremdsprachenerwerbs an Sprechangst litt, hat sie sich in dieser Arbeit zum Ziel gesetzt die Sichtweise Deutschlernender zu die diesem Thema zu untersuchen. Dabei wurden acht Lernende zu ihren persönlichen Erfahrungen mit dem Sprechen in der Fremdsprache im Allge-meinen, sowie zu ihrer Lernbiographie, ihrer Beziehung zur deutschen Sprache, Ver-änderungen, ihren Strategien im Umgang mit der Sprechangst, Unterschiede zu ande-ren Sprachen und ihren Erfahrungen im Deutschunterricht im Detail befragt. Anschlie-ßend wurden ausgehend von den Antworten Schlussfolgerungen über Gemeinsamkei-ten und Unterschiede zwischen den Befragten gezogen und abschließend Vorschläge für Verbesserungen im Deutschunterricht eingebracht.

title: Eine Meinungsumfrage zur Erarbeitung von Mustern und Zusammenhängen der Einstellung österreichischer Jäger zum Thema Wolf
Creators: name: Helnwein, Jasmin
Year: 2018

description: Seit sich 2016 das erste Wolfsrudel seit über 100 Jahren wieder in Österreich angesiedelt hat, sehen sich die Jäger mit einigen Problemen konfrontiert. Um die Einstellung von den österreichischen Jägern abbilden und daraus Mustern erkennen zu können, wurde im Rahmen der Masterarbeit eine Online-Umfrage unter den Jägern durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass mehr als 50% der befragten Jäger eine negative Einstellung gegenüber Wölfen haben und auch der Großteil empfindet es als negativ, dass sich der Wolf wieder in Österreich angesiedelt hat. Aus der Umfrage stellte sich heraus, dass die Teilnehmer gut über den Wolf informiert sind. Statistische Auswertungen zeigen, dass das Wissen, die Herkunft der Befragten, die Bildung, sowie die Häufigkeit der Jagdausübung die persönliche Einstellung beeinflussen. Speziell die Jagd betreffend, sehen die befragten Jäger die Schalenwildhege bei Anwesenheit des Wolfes als umsonst an, da sie befürchten, dass sich der Wildbestand drastisch reduzieren und das Verhalten des Wildes sich ändern wird. Gerade Winterfütterungen, Jagd- und Wintergatter werden als große Konfliktherde angesehen. Als effektive Managementmaßnahmen befürworten die befragten Jäger, die regulierte Bejagung auf Wölfe, sowie das Entfernen von Problemwölfen. Diese Aufgaben sollten laut den Teilnehmern die Jägerschaft oder Berufsjäger übernehmen, solange es klare und einheitliche Regeln gibt. Rund drei viertel der Teilnehmer sehen aber eine fehlende Akzeptanz der Natur- und Tierschützer. Auch auf die Sicht auf Managementmaßnahmen und Verantwortlichkeit für die Regulierung von Wölfen nimmt die persönliche Einstellung zum Wolf im Allgemeinen einen Einfluss. Die Einstellung ist zwar kritisch, dennoch zeigen die Ergebnisse Möglichkeiten für Lösungsansätze.
Improving Neutrino Energy Reconstruction in Few-GeV Energy Region with Reconstructed Neutrino Invariant Mass
Creators: name: Ziyao Wang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Neutrino oscillation experiments measure oscillation probabilities as functions of neutrino energy. The success of these experiments therefore largely depends upon their neutrino energy reconstruction accuracies. Nuclear effects and detector effects, however, can significantly affect neutrino event topologies seen by experiments in few-GeV energy regions and lead to large systematic uncertainties in energy reconstruction. In this poster, we propose a new technique for improving neutrino energy reconstruction, by using the square of reconstructed neutrino invariant mass M02calculated from the measured 4-momentums of the final-state particles. We demonstrate that the deviation of M02 from zero can be used to describe the extent to which nuclear effects and detector effects affect the reconstruction, and simple cuts on M02 can improve neutrino energy resolution in an energy-independent way. Preliminary results from simulation by different event generators are presented. M02 is calculated from the measured 4-momentums of the final-state particles. We demonstrate that the deviation of M02 from zero can be used to describe the extent to which nuclear effects and detector effects affect the reconstruction, and simple cuts on M02 can improve neutrino energy resolution in an energy-independent way.

Remarks. This somewhat enigmatic species, originally described by Hansen (op.cit.) from material collected in the Davis Strait at depths of 2194–2625 metres has also been reported from the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench at 4895 metres by Kudinova-Pasternak (1970) and the central North Pacific, 6051 metres (Kudinova-Pasternak 1966). It is very doubtfully placed in the Leptognathiidae as it is clearly either a species of Akanthophoreus or Chauliopleona, although it escaped the revision of both genera (the former as Paraleptognathia Kudinova-Pasternak, 1981) by Guerrero-Kommritz (2004, 2005). It is a very slender species, one syntype from Ingolf Station 36 having a carapace 1.8 times as long as broad and with pereonites 2–5 all longer than broad.
For additional comments on this species and Kudinova-Pasternak’s record see Bird, elsewhere in this publication.

description: This dissertation focuses on long-term care (LTC) in old age and the low ownership of private long-term care insurance (LTCI). Older adults in the US face significant risk of needing long-term care services. Despite the risk, most Americans never attempt to insure against it, and those who do tend to apply late in life when they are likely to be rejected. The first essay in this dissertation builds a quantitative equilibrium model to study consumers’ decision about when to buy LTCI in the presence of uninsurability risk. The model evaluates how much of the delay in purchase can be explained by risk misperceptions. I formulate the problem as a three-period model where consumers may buy insurance in a competitive market based on their observable risk characteristics during the first two periods in order to insure against nursing home risk in the third period. I estimate the model using the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). The model successfully reproduces the low ownership rates and timing of purchase across all income quintiles. I find that risk misperceptions lead to 42% lower than optimal purchase rate, and cause 29% of early buyers to delay their purchase. The sub-optimal behavior is particularly pronounced among the middle-income consumers. The second essay studies the patterns of LTC risk and LTCI purchase across race and ethnicity in the US. By 2050, the share of Blacks and Hispanics in the over-85 population is expected to increase to 40%. A better understanding of risk and insurance across different segments of the aging population is particularly important, given this increasing racial heterogeneity in older adults. Using the HRS, this chapter studies racial disparities in late-in-life health outcomes and estimates the risk of having a nursing home stay over lifetime across race and ethnicity. It finds that Blacks and Hispanics have a lower risk of entering a nursing home than Whites. The paper also examines differences in the likelihood of LTCI purchase across different racial and ethnic groups. The findings suggest that once demographic, socioeconomic, and family characteristics are accounted for, non-Whites are not less likely to buy insurance.
title: Eine Untersuchung der Einstellung österreichischer Landwirte und Landwirtinnen zum Thema Wolf
Creators: name: Herzog, Stefanie
Year: 2018

description: Die Wölfe sind nach Österreich zurückgekehrt und diese Rückkehr bringt für die heutige Kulturlandschaft einige Konflikte mit sich. Vor allem für die Landwirtschaft bedeutet diese Entwicklung eine Veränderung der Traditionen und stößt daher nicht überall auf Zustimmung. Für das Zusammenleben mit den Wölfen ist jedoch die Zusammenarbeit mit den Landwirten sowie ihre Bereitschaft von großer Bedeutung. Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit wurde mithilfe eines Online-Fragebogens versucht, die Einstellung österreichischer Landwirte zum Thema Wolf zu ermitteln. Dabei handelt es sich hier aber um keine repräsentative Umfrage in Bezug auf die Einstellung, sondern es werden vielmehr Gründe und Muster für die Einstellungen gesucht. Neben allgemeinen Fragen zur Grundhaltung wurden auch landwirtschaftlich spezifische Fragen und Wissensfragen zum Thema Wolf gestellt. Zusätzlich wurde eine statistische Modellierung durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Umfrage zeigen, dass unter den befragten Landwirten eine durchwegs negative Tendenz gegenüber Wölfen in Österreich besteht. Im Zusammenhang mit dieser ablehnenden Haltung steht vor allem die Betroffenheit der Landwirte. Die Mehrheit der befragten Landwirte sieht eine klare Gefährdung der traditionellen freien Viehhaltung. Auch hinsichtlich der Herdenschutzmaßnahmen gibt es eine überwiegend ablehnende Haltung unter den Befragten. Wobei hier mithilfe der Regressionsanalyse ein Zusammenhang zur Einstellung dargestellt werden konnte. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine positive Einstellung einen positiven Effekt auf die Haltung zum Herdenschutz bewirkt. Wissen spielt hingegen nur eine untergeordnete Rolle für die Einstellung. Die Ergebnisse dieser Masterarbeit sollen die Gründe und Muster für die Einstellungen österreichischer Landwirte darstellen und einen besseren Einblick in die Situation der Landwirtschaft zu diesem Thema schaffen.

description: Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Anforderungen an Volksschullehrkräfte bei der Umsetzung einer diagnosegestützten Sprachbildung für Lerner des Deutschen als Zweitsprache. Theoretisch wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit herausgearbeitet, dass die vorhandenen Leistungsdisparitäten zwischen monolingual deutsch aufwachsenden Kindern und mehrsprachigen Kindern im aktuellen österreichischen Schulsystem nur dann ausgeglichen werden können, wenn der Unterricht durchgängig sprachsensibel und diagnosegestützt gestaltet wird. Eine Analyse der Curricula der PädagogInnenbildung Neu, die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit durchgeführt wurde, zeigt, dass zukünftige Volksschullehrkräfte im Bereich Deutsch als Zweitsprache besser ausgebildet werden, als es bisher in Österreich der Fall war. Im Rahmen des empirischen Teils der Arbeit wurden Interviews mit vier Lehrkräften, die sich im Rahmen eines Lehrgangs das Handwerkszeug für die Umsetzung einer diagnosegestützten Sprachbildung mithilfe des Beobachtungsverfahrens USB DaZ aneigneten, geführt. Die Erhebung der qualitativen Daten an zwei Messpunkten (vor Beginn und nach Absolvierung des Lehrgangs) führte zu einer qualitativen Evaluation des Lehrgangs. Die Datenanalyse der vorliegenden qualitativen Evaluation des Lehrgangs ergab u.a. folgende Ergebnisse: - Insgesamt wird der Lehrgang sehr positiv bewertet. Die Erwartungen der Teilnehmerinnen an den Lehrgang stimmen mit den inhaltlichen Aspekten des Lehrgangs überein. - Den Referentinnen und Referenten gelingt es, den Lehrkräften ihre Qualifizierungsbedarfe hinsichtlich des optimalen Umgangs mit Lernern des Deutschen als Zweitsprache bewusst zu machen und auszugleichen. - Nach Abschluss des Lehrgangs dominiert der Wunsch nach Vermittlung von Fachwissen für eine diagnosegestützte Sprachbildung gegenüber der Vermittlung von Ideen zur praktischen Umsetzung. - In Zusammenhang mit der Auseinandersetzung des Beobachtungsverfahren USB DaZ gelingt eine Perspektivenänderung der Teilnehmerinnen von einer defizitorientierten hin zu einer stärkenorientierten Perspektive auf das sprachliche Können in der Unterrichtssprache Deutsch. - Hinsichtlich der Einstellung von Lehrkräften gegenüber migrationsbedingter Mehrsprachigkeit konnte der Lehrgang keine nennenswerten Reflexionsprozesse in Gang setzen. - Auch die Thematik „Umgang mit Seiteneinsteigerinnen und Seiteneinsteigern“ wird für die Lehrkräfte im Lehrgang zu wenig aufgegriffen.

description: Core-collapse supernovae emit their gravitational energy as neutrino. So far, some studies calculated the emission in case neutron stars are left behind. In the case of black holes, neutrino is also emitted from the surrounding matter. However, the Misner-Sharp metric, which is often employed in simulations, diverges when black holes form. To evade the problem, we are developing a new simulation using the Hernandez-Misner metric.

Species included (Japanese waters, Kurile-Kamchatka Trench and Japan Trench species in bold): F. longimanus Larsen, 2005, Gulf of Mexico, 336–1875 metres; F. rotundicauda Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970.
Diagnosis (after Larsen & Shimomura). Female. Leptognathiid with cheliped fixed finger and dactylus elongated. Uropodal exopod uniarticulated.
Remarks. This genus is relatively easy to recognize owing to the cheliped morphology, which approaches that of some pseudotanaid taxa. The mandibular structure is very similar to the type genus Leptognathia, with a crenulate margin of both incisors. Unlike the previous leptognathiid genus (Biarticulata), Forcipatia is a small, monophyletic taxon.

Job separation, wage rigidity, and bargaining power in search models
Creators: name: Kwende, Glen Ajeck Fru
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation focuses on job separation, wage rigidity in search models and workers’ bargaining power in the US labor market. In the first chapter, I use CPS duration data to measure job finding and separation rates and quantify their contribution to unemployment variability. Since 1948, the rate at which workers separate from a job in the United States has averaged 4.5 percent a month, contrary to the frequently used 3.5 percent figure. Contemporaneous fluctuations in the separation rate explain about 12 to 47 percent of unemployment variability, depending on how the data are detrended. Over the last two decades, fluctuations in the separation rate have become increasingly irrelevant in explaining unemployment fluctuations, explaining only about 4 − 12 percent. The job finding rate, on the other hand, continues to explain about 90 percent of unemployment fluctuations. The second chapter explores the wage negotiating decision in order to understand this phenomenon, provide a model based foundation for the degree of wage rigidity and understand the role wage rigidity plays in accounting for volatility in labor market fluctuations. I develop a search model where firms pay different wages to incumbent workers and new hires. I extend prior work by generating an endogenous degree of wage rigidity through the choices of workers and firms in the model. My model, calibrated to quarterly US data over the 1951-2018 period, does well in matching the volatility of US labor market variables. Specifically, I find that the model can explain over 70 percent of the volatility in unemployment and vacancies. Unlike similar models, the model also produces the Beveridge curve relationship between unemployment and vacancies. Furthermore, I use the model to show that the interaction between wage rigidity, decreased macroeconomic volatility, and decreased job separation can contribute to explaining the wage-productivity gap in the United States. In the third chapter, I estimate workers’ bargaining power over time from a wage equation derived from a search model. The estimates show that workers’ bargaining power declined in the United States between 1975 and 2018. Standard OLS computations show a drop of 33 to 62 percent between the periods pre- and post-1997. Using time-varying parameter regression estimation, I compute quarterly workers’ bargaining power series for 1975Q1-2018Q4, which show a consistent decline. This is the first time series of bargaining power with potential to advance our understanding of the behavior of bargaining power in the US and the factors that affect it. Caution is needed in interpreting these results because a key variable (the vacancy rate) had to be estimated for the period before 2001, while another one (unemployment benefits) is potentially endogenous. Thus the empirical results should be regarded as preliminary.

description: This dissertation focuses on job separation, wage rigidity in search models and workers’ bargaining power in the US labor market. In the first chapter, I use CPS duration data to measure job finding and separation rates and quantify their contribution to unemployment variability. Since 1948, the rate at which workers separate from a job in the United States has averaged 4.5 percent a month, contrary to the frequently used 3.5 percent figure. Contemporaneous fluctuations in the separation rate explain about 12 to 47 percent of unemployment variability, depending on how the data are detrended. Over the last two decades, fluctuations in the separation rate have become increasingly irrelevant in explaining unemployment fluctuations, explaining only about 4 − 12 percent. The job finding rate, on the other hand, continues to explain about 90 percent of unemployment fluctuations. The second chapter explores the wage negotiating decision in order to understand this phenomenon, provide a model based foundation for the degree of wage rigidity and understand the role wage rigidity plays in accounting for volatility in labor market fluctuations. I develop a search model where firms pay different wages to incumbent workers and new hires. I extend prior work by generating an endogenous degree of wage rigidity through the choices of workers and firms in the model. My model, calibrated to quarterly US data over the 1951-2018 period, does well in matching the volatility of US labor market variables. Specifically, I find that the model can explain over 70 percent of the volatility in unemployment and vacancies. Unlike similar models, the model also produces the Beveridge curve relationship between unemployment and vacancies. Furthermore, I use the model to show that the interaction between wage rigidity, decreased macroeconomic volatility, and decreased job separation can contribute to explaining the wage-productivity gap in the United States. In the third chapter, I estimate workers’ bargaining power over time from a wage equation derived from a search model. The estimates show that workers’ bargaining power declined in the United States between 1975 and 2018. Standard OLS computations show a drop of 33 to 62 percent between the periods pre- and post-1997. Using time-varying parameter regression estimation, I compute quarterly workers’ bargaining power series for 1975Q1-2018Q4, which show a consistent decline. This is the first time series of bargaining power with potential to advance our understanding of the behavior of bargaining power in the US and the factors that affect it. Caution is needed in interpreting these results because a key variable (the vacancy rate) had to be estimated for the period before 2001, while another one (unemployment benefits) is potentially endogenous. Thus the empirical results should be regarded as preliminary.

description: kStatistics is a package in R that serves as a unified framework for estimating univariate and multivariate cumulants as well as products of univariate and multivariate cumulants of a random sample, using unbiased estimators with minimum variance. The main computational machinery of kStatistics is an algorithm for computing multi-index partitions. The same algorithm underlies the general-purpose multivariate Faà di Bruno's formula, which has been therefore included in the last release of the package. This formula gives the coefficients of formal power series compositions as well as the partial derivatives of multivariable function compositions. One of the most significant applications of this formula is the possibility to generate many well-known polynomial families as special cases. So, in the package, there are special functions for generating very popular polynomial families, such as the Bell polynomials. However further families can be obtained, for suitable choices of the formal power series involved in the composition or when suitable symbolic strategies are employed. In both cases, we give examples on how to modify the R codes of the package to accomplish this task. Future developments are addressed at the end of the paper.
