description: Durch die Zentralisierung der Stromerzeugung in Großkraftwerken war die Region Sachsen-Anhalt auf Grundlage der Braunkohle zu einem Zentrum der Stromerzeugung in Deutschland emporgestiegen. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg blieb die „Energieprovinz“, trotz ausgedehnter Demontagen, bis Ausgang der 1950er Jahre das Erzeugungszentrum in der SBZ und jungen DDR. Dieses Buch stellt die regionale Entwicklung des Elektrizitätssektors in den Mittelpunkt, wobei die Betrachtung des Primärenergieträgers, technischer Gegebenheiten, unternehmeri-scher Strukturen und wirtschaftspolitischer Maßnahmen die Untersuchung strukturieren. Der Bereich besaß hohe wirtschaftliche Bedeutung, sodass er während des abgesteckten Unter-suchungszeitraums insgesamt zügig den Vorgaben der Zentralverwaltungswirtschaft sowjeti-schen Typs unterworfen wurde. Mit der Verlagerung des Erzeugungsschwerpunkts innerhalb der DDR erfuhr die Region einen Bedeutungsverlust, zugleich konservierte der fortwährende Energiemangel die Bedeutsamkeit der Braunkohle und Anlagen vor Ort. Überdies bildete die Wirtschaftsordnung keine effizienteren Lenkungsstrukturen heraus. Zum Ende der DDR-Zeit waren im mitteldeutschen Industriebezirk auch die Folgen einer von allerlei Zwängen getrie-benen Energiewirtschaft erkennbar.
description: As the generation of electric power became more centralized in large powerplants, Saxony-Anhalt turned into a hub of power generation in Germany because of its mineral resources in lignite. After the Second World War, the “energy province” remained a center of power gen-eration in the Soviet Occupation Zone and early GDR until the end of the 1950s despite the extensive dismantling of the energy sector. This book focuses on the regional development of the electricity sector. The approach will be structured by the examination of the primary energy source, technical preconditions, entrepreneurial structures and economic policy measures. The energy sector was of great economic importance. Accordingly, it was rapidly transformed to the requirements of the central administration economy of the Soviet model during the defined research period. With the shift of energy production within the GDR, the region experienced a loss of importance, while at the same time an ongoing shortage of power preserved the significance of its coal production and remaining powerplants. Apart from that, the economic order of the GDR did not provide more efficient structures of control or distribution of electric power. By the end of the GDR era, the repercussions of a largely constrained energy industry were visible throughout the region.

description: Raja clavata Linnaeus, 1758
 Distribution. Thornback ray (R. clavata) is one of the most abundant elasmobranchs in the Northeast Atlantic and has a broad distribution from Iceland and Norway to Northwest Africa and the Mediterranean Sea (Stehmann & Bürkel, 1984; Serena et al., 2010). The eggcases of R. clavata were reported frequently to the Great Eggcase Hunt, with submissions from nearly all of the British coastline, albeit with only scattered reports from the northeast coast of England.
 Material examined. Fifty-two eggcases were examined in detail, of which the majority (n = 38) were collected by the Great Eggcase Hunt, with other specimens from trawl surveys (n = 4), museum collections (n = 3; BMNH 1927.3.25.1, BMNH 91.6.18.66–67) and public aquaria (n = 7).
 Description. The eggcase of R. clavata (Figure 5 b) is robust and of moderate size, with an eggcase length of 67.2 ± 10.0 mm (32.7–83.3 mm) and eggcase width of 37.0 ± 8.2 mm (32.7–69.0 mm). These values, however, mask a diversity in both size and the length to width ratio, with eggcases varying from rectangular to square, as shown by the width of the eggcase ranging from 62.3–91.0% of the eggcase length. This is demonstrated by one aberrant museum specimen (BMNH 1927.13.25.1), which measured 76 mm eggcase length by 69 mm eggcase width (Figure 5 c). One of the museum specimens examined (BMNH 91.6.18.67) was the largest R. clavata eggcase measured (eggcase length = 83.3 mm), with the two others within the upper limits of the sizes observed in contemporary material.
The dorsal surface of the capsule is distinctly more convex than the ventral. Freshly-laid specimens are covered with thin fibres (Figure 3 c) and although these are often lost by the time of stranding, evidence of remnant fibres can be visible on the keels and less abraded areas. The lateral keels are well-formed and sturdy, often remaining intact in strandline specimens. The keels extend from the base of the anterior horns, down the length of the capsule and terminate where the posterior horns join the capsule. The anterior apron is marginally larger than the posterior and is straight, while the posterior apron is slightly convex, but often broken away neatly in stranded samples, giving the appearance of a very narrow apron. The anterior horns are marginally longer than the posterior and curve inwards slightly. The lengths and widths of the eggcases recorded in the present study extended the reported size range for this species.

description: Die Biosynthese des Piperins (1-Piperolpiperidin), ein Alkaloid essentiell für die charakteristische Schärfe des Pfeffers (Piper nigrum), war über Jahrzehnte ungeklärt. In dieser Arbeit wurden wichtige Enzyme der Biosynthese mittels RNA-Sequenzierung und differentieller Genexpressionsanalyse identifiziert. Dabei wurden die Transkripte von Piperin-haltigen Geweben (verschiedene Fruchtstadien) mit Piperin-freien Geweben (Blätter und blühende Ähren) verglichen. Frucht-spezifische Transkripte wurden ausgewählt, resultierende Proteine exprimiert sowie charakterisiert und somit essentielle Schritte der Piperinbiosynthese aufgeklärt. Ein Cytochrom P450 Enzym katalysierte hierbei die Methylendioxy-Brücke auf Stufe der Feruperinsäure. Die gebildete Piperinsäure wurde anschließend von einer spezifischen CoA-Ligase in Piperoyl-CoA aktiviert. Im finale Schritt der Piperinsynthese wurde Piperoyl-CoA und das Amin Piperidin durch die Piperinsynthase, eine BAHD-Acyltransferase, in Piperin umgesetzt.
description: The biosynthesis of piperine (1-piperol piperidine), the pungent principle of black pepper fruits, was unknown over decades. In this thesis enzymes involved in the final and unique steps of piperine biosynthesis were elucidated in a RNA sequencing approach comparing different fruit stages (piperine) with leaves and flowering spadices (non piperine). Highly fruit-specific transcripts were chosen. The resulting candidate proteins were expressed and functional characterized. A cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyses the methylenedioxy bridge formation in the case of feruperic acid to piperic acid and was classified as CYP719A37. A p-coumarate CoA ligase-like enzyme, the piperoyl-CoA ligase, activates piperic acid. In a final step a BAHD-acyltransferase, the piperine synthase, catalyses the piperine formation from piperoyl-CoA and piperidine. By these findings the piperine biosynthesis was finally unravelled and published.

Pastoral, satire, and ecology in the modern memorial park : Evelyn Waugh’s The Loved One and Forest Lawn
Creators: name: Ohman, Carmel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This thesis studies pastoral, satire, and ecology in Evelyn Waugh’s The Loved One (1948) and in the site that it satirizes: Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. Forest Lawn, which Hubert Eaton founded in 1917 and Waugh visited in 1947, self-mythologizes as a pastoral garden. Its foundational myth promises that, “Filled With Towering Trees, Sweeping Lawns, Splashing Fountains, Singing Birds, Beautiful Statuary, [and] Cheerful Flowers,” Forest Lawn will be “As Unlike Other Cemeteries As Sunshine Is To Darkness, As Eternal Life Is Unlike Death.” This thesis uses insights gained from Waugh’s satire of Forest Lawn to show that the myth of the pastoral garden contributes significantly to ecological damage in the Los Angeles region and enables that damage’s subsequent forgetting. Through an ironic attention to pastoral representation, The Loved One exposes the mechanisms of environmental obfuscation and despoliation in Forest Lawn’s doctrine and environmental history. Forest Lawn’s relationship to natural resources emerges, in the light of Waugh’s satire, as ironic, exploitative, and deeply unstable. Ultimately, this thesis represents a step towards illustrating the usefulness of satire for ecocriticism; despite ecocriticism’s resistance to both studying satire and using its methods in environmental discourse, the satiric mode can productively expose and destabilize environmentally-dubious representational traditions.

description: Raja microocellata Montagu, 1818
 Distribution. Small-eyed ray (R. microocellata) is found in coastal waters from the British Isles south to Morocco, and is locally abundant in certain areas, such as the Bristol Channel (Stehmann & Bürkel, 1984). Juveniles occur in shallow water, while adults occur further offshore, usually in water no deeper than 100 m (Ellis et al., 2005). Eggcases reported to the Great Eggcase Hunt were usually from the southwestern coasts of England.
 Material examined. Fifty-seven eggcases were examined in total; the majority (n = 48) were found on beaches and submitted to the Great Eggcase Hunt project, and the remaining eggcases were provided by public aquaria (n = 9).
 Description. The eggcase of R. microocellata (Figure 6 a) is of moderate size, with a mean eggcase length of 81.2 ± 6.5 mm (70.0– 94.9 mm), and eggcase width of 35.3 ± 4.7 mm (30.7–59.2 mm). Although the eggcase capsule is biconvex, when positioned on its ventral surface the short posterior horns curve upwards, giving the eggcase an overall concave appearance. The capsule has fine, close-packed longitudinal striations on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. The eggcase is broadest across the anterior of the capsule at the base of the horns and usually tapers in width towards the base of the posterior horns, where it is narrowest. Narrow but robust lateral keels extend along the capsule, beginning at the base of the anterior horns and continuing the length of the posterior horns all the way to the tips. The anterior apron is broad and straight but often absent by the time of stranding. The posterior apron is small and concave, stretching the length of the horns. The anterior horns are elongated and narrow into long filamentous tubes which, if intact, can be equal to the capsule length; in contrast, the posterior horns are short, stocky and slightly hooked, curving upwards.
 Remarks. Anterior horns can be broken easily on stranded specimens as they are fine and delicate. Egg-laying activity peaks between June and September (Ryland & Ajayi, 1984) and recently hatched fish occur in very shallow water, but the exact sites of egg deposition are unknown. The reported size of the eggcase of this species appears to be much larger in early studies (Williamson 1913; Le Danois 1913; Clark 1922) than in subsequent studies including present observations (Table 1).

title:  Nicola Abbagnano e Jean-Paul Sartre. L’esistenzialismo e il problema della soggettività
Creators: name: Adinolfi, Ciro
Publisher: name: RomaTrE-Press
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this article is to compare the perspectives of Nicola Abbagnano and Jean-Paul Sartre on some key notions of existentialism in order to acquire conceptual tools useful for redefining the problem of subjectivity. We will first articulate Abbagnano’s and Sartre’s reflections around the concepts of existence and choice. We will see how both conceive choice as fundamental to the understanding of existence, albeit from radically opposite points of view. This will lead us to the problem of identity, which will be analysed in the second part through the study of the notions of norm and value. Both philosophers consider as necessary the study of what value is and what its weight in existence is. However, on this occasion too, their approaches are at the antipodes. Finally, we can see how they both allow us to lay the foundations for rethinking two fundamental questions: on the one hand, the role and perspectives of existentialism today; on the other, the problem of subjectivity (the latter no longer understood as Ego or res cogitans, but as subjectivation, i.e. processuality and research of itself). The article intends to show how their distance can actually be useful, since their thoughts are complementary and allow the question of subjectivity to be embraced from renewed positions.

L'obiettivo di questo articolo è confrontare le prospettive di Nicola Abbagnano e Jean-Paul Sartre su alcune nozioni chiave dell'esistenzialismo, al fine di acquisire strumenti concettuali utili a ridefinire il problema della soggettività. Articoleremo innanzitutto le riflessioni di Abbagnano e Sartre intorno ai concetti di esistenza e di scelta. Vedremo come entrambi concepiscano la scelta come fondamentale per la comprensione dell'esistenza, anche se da punti di vista radicalmente opposti. Questo ci condurrà al problema dell'identità, che verrà analizzato nella seconda parte attraverso lo studio delle nozioni di norma e di valore. Entrambi i filosofi considerano necessario lo studio di cosa sia il valore e quale sia il suo peso nell'esistenza. Tuttavia, anche in questa occasione, i loro approcci sono agli antipodi. Infine, possiamo vedere come entrambi ci permettano di porre le basi per ripensare due questioni fondamentali: da un lato, il ruolo e le prospettive dell'esistenzialismo oggi; dall'altro, il problema della soggettività (quest'ultima non più intesa come Io o res cogitans, ma come soggettivazione, cioè processualità e ricerca di sé). L'articolo intende mostrare come la loro distanza possa essere effettivamente utile, in quanto le loro riflessioni sono complementari e permettono di abbracciare la questione della soggettività da posizioni rinnovate.

description: Kritische Lebensereignisse, egal ob erfreulich oder leidvoll, verursachen Stress und setzen Mechanismen der Anpassung in Gang. Der Umgang mit und die Bewältigung von kritischen Lebensereignissen variiert in Abhängigkeit von temporär verfügbaren Ressourcen und soziodemografischen Faktoren, wodurch interindividuelle Unterschiede im Tempo und Ausmaß der Anpassungsreaktion entstehen. Da diese Unterschiede im Längsschnitt wenig erforscht wurden, untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit differenzielle Entwicklungsverläufe des subjektiven und psychologischen Wohlbefindens im Kontext dreier Ereignisse mit traumatisierendem Potenzial – 1) der Rückversetzung und Klassenstufenwiederholung, 2) ehelicher Trennung/Scheidung und 3) der Verwitwung – mittels Panelregressionen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Ereignisse mit traumatisierendem Potenzial nicht zwingend mit negativen Folgen einhergehen müssen, der Entwicklungsverlauf und die Bilanz hängen jedoch von den verfügbaren Ressourcen und Kontexteinflüssen ab.
description: Critical life events, whether joyful or sorrowful, cause stress and set mechanisms of adaptation in motion. The handling of and coping with critical life events varies contingent upon temporarily available resources and sociodemographic factors, producing interindividual differences in the pace and magnitude of the adjustment response. Since these differences have rarely been explored longitudinally, the present work examines differential trajectories of subjective and psychological well-being in the context of three events with traumatizing potential—1) grade retention and grade repetition, 2) marital separation/divorce, and 3) widowhood—using panel regressions. The results show that life course events with traumatizing potential are not inevitably associated with adverse consequences, though the course of development and the overall outcome depend on available resources and contextual influences.

description: Raja montagui Fowler, 1910
 Distribution. Spotted ray (R. montagui) is distributed widely in the Northeast Atlantic, ranging from the Shetland Islands to Morocco, including the Algerian and Tunisian coasts of the Mediterranean Sea (Stehmann & Bürkel, 1984; Serena et al., 2010). It occurs in inshore waters and shallow shelf seas at depths of 8–283 m (Ellis et al., 2005), although it is found more frequently at depths less than 100 m. Juveniles usually occur closer inshore on sandy sediments. Eggcases have been submitted to the Great Eggcase Hunt from the majority of the British coastline, although there were very few reports from the east coast of Scotland and northeast coast of England.
 Material examined. Fifty-two eggcases were measured in total; including specimens from the Great Eggcase Hunt (n = 33), trawl surveys (n = 16) and from public aquaria (n = 3).
 Description. The eggcase length of R. montagui (Figure 7 a) is 56.5 ± 13.7 mm (31.6–75.4 mm), and eggcase width is 34.1 ± 1.6 mm (29.0– 36.7 mm). The capsule has fine longitudinal striations which run the length of the eggcase. There are no keels on the capsule and the margins are usually cleanly fused, with occasional remnants of the attachment fibres present. The anterior apron is broad and straight, but is often broken and frayed in strandline specimens. In contrast, the posterior apron is negligible. The posterior horns are marginally shorter than the anterior horns and end in small hooks.
 Remarks. The eggcase of R. montagui is similar in appearance to that of R. undulata and there is a degree of overlap of eggcase size. Hence, the eggcases of these two species can often be confused, particularly in areas where they both occur, such as the English Channel. The eggcase of R. montagui can be almost translucent when held to the light, and it is generally smaller, less robust and of a cleaner appearance than the larger R. undulata eggcase, which often has attachment fibres. The eggcase lengths and widths recorded in the present study extended the known size range for this species.

Formal solutions known so far are inadmissible for velocities below a thresh- old value. The new solutions fill the gap left by this loss of admissibility. Analytical and numerical evidence is presented for their existence; however, dynamic simulations suggest that they are probably unstable.

 Distribution. Undulate ray (R. undulata) has a patchy distribution in the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea (Ellis et al., 2012), although it can be locally abundant in some areas, such as the English Channel. The majority of verified records submitted to the Great Eggcase Hunt were from the south coast of England (in particular the eastern English Channel) with some records from southwestern coasts.
 Material examined. Fifty-two eggcases were examined in detail, most of which were collected by the Great Eggcase Hunt (n = 50), while the other specimens (n = 2) were from public aquaria. An additional aberrant specimen collected in January 2015 from Brighton (English Channel) was also supplied to the Great Eggcase Hunt for examination (see below).
 Description. The eggcase of R. undulata (Figure 7 b) is moderately large and elongated, with an eggcase length of 80.4 ± 4.4 mm (71.9–89.4 mm) and eggcase width of 34.5 ± 0.9 mm (32.7–36.7 mm). The eggcase is biconvex with longitudinal striations on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface is often covered with a thin fibrous layer, although striations are present underneath. The eggcase is without keels, although the capsule margin has a rough edge, often with additional detritus laden fibres attached (presumably as a remnant of the mucus ‘mat’ that is associated with newly laid eggcases). The anterior apron is broad and straight, while the posterior apron is negligible. The anterior horns are marginally longer than the posterior horns, and often splay outwards.
 Remarks. The eggcase of R. undulata is similar in appearance to that of R. montagui (see remarks for R. montagui) although the eggcase of R. undulata is generally larger and more robust. In this study, whilst the mean eggcase length was within the range of previously reported values, the mean eggcase width actually appeared to be reduced slightly.
One aberrant specimen (Figure 7 c) was also examined. The capsule was intact, however the anterior apron extended far beyond the typical length, with the anterior horns encompassed by, and extending beyond, this unusually large apron. The eggcase length was 107.0 mm, and despite the posterior horns being slightly damaged, the total eggcase length was approximately 221.0 mm with the eggcase width ranging from 40.0 mm (anterior) to 41.0 mm (posterior). The two surfaces of the apron were fused shut, however there was a tear in the ventral surface at the anterior end of the capsule proper, making it unclear whether or not it had contained an embryo.

Methodological paper on MSPREE considering multiple data sources
Creators: name: Luna Hernandez, A.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Effective policy making requires of accurate figures of key socio demographic indicators for highly disaggregated geographies which typically go beyond what can be delivered using exclusively survey data and standard survey sampling methods. When the outcome of interest is defined by a categorical variable, as in the case of labour force or poverty rates, it is typical to use a Small Area Estimation method within the Structure Preserving (SPREE) approach to obtain appropriate estimates of such figures. This deliverable addresses the issue of how to combine several ‘proxy’ data sources within the SPREE approach, contributing to a better use of existing data sources and hence offering new possibilities for the research on poverty and living conditions as per the aim of Work package 8 of the InGRID-2 project.

It can be calculated by a Wilson loop following a prescribed path and couplings, or after a conformal transformation, by a cusped Wilson loop in flat space, hence also generalizing the usual concept of the cusp anomalous dimension. In AdS_5 x S^5 this is calculated by an infinite open string. I present here an open spin-chain model which calculates the spectrum of excitations of such open strings. In the dual gauge theory these are cusped Wilson loops with extra operator insertions at the cusp. The boundaries of the spin-chain introduce a non-trivial reflection phase and break the bulk symmetry down to a single copy of psu(2|2). The dependence on the two angles is captured by the two embeddings of this algebra into \psu(2|2)^2, i.e., by a global rotation. The exact answer to this problem is conjectured to be given by solutions to a set of twisted boundary thermodynamic Bethe ansatz integral equations. In particular the generalized quark-antiquark potential or cusp anomalous dimension is recovered by calculating the ground state energy of the minimal length spin-chain, with no sites. It gets contributions only from virtual particles reflecting off the boundaries. I reproduce from this calculation some known weak coupling perturtbative results.

description: Given an ideal J on a smooth variety in characteristic zero, we estimate the F-jumping numbers of the reductions of J to positive characteristic in terms of the jumping numbers of J and the characteristic. We apply one of our estimates to bound the Hartshorne-Speiser-Lyubeznik invariant for the reduction to positive characteristic of a hypersurface singularity.

description: What about taking time to improve how we cooperate? “Public policy should [...] facilitate the development of institutions that bring out the best in humans,” so Elinor Ostrom. Here, I propose to critically reflect on some of the beliefs embedded in each and every scientific question, and methodology, especially medical research as it affects us all. One goal is to raise awareness about ways to improve the trustworthiness, plurality and openness of science.

description: In this study, we explore a particular type Hawking radiation which ends with zero temperature and entropy. The appropriate black holes for this purpose are the linear dilaton black holes. In addition to the black hole choice, a recent formalism in which the Parikh-Wilczek's tunneling formalism amalgamated with quantum corrections to all orders in \hbar is considered. The adjustment of the coefficients of the quantum corrections plays a crucial role on this particular Hawking radiation. The obtained tunneling rate indicates that the radiation is not pure thermal anymore, and hence correlations of outgoing quanta are capable of carrying away information encoded within them. Finally, we show in detail that when the linear dilaton black hole completely evaporates through such a particular radiation, entropy of the radiation becomes identical with the entropy of the black hole, which corresponds to "no information loss".
Wrestling with the angels of ambiguity: scholarship in the in-between: queer theology / performative autoethnography
Creators: name: Mesner, Kerri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation introduces performing theology: a queerly embodied approach to arts-based educational research. This approach utilizes a hybridization of performative autoethnography, queer Christian theological analysis, and post-structural approaches to anti- oppressive education. The written component of the dissertation takes the reader on a journey through scenes, interscenes, and scripts-within-scripts, articulating the theoretical and methodological developments integral to performing theology. The filmic portion of the dissertation—Intervention, an original one-act play written and performed by the author— serves as the heart of the dissertation. This unconventional framework provides a space for the creative and theological explorations informing the research as well as for the ambiguities and liminalities inherent to theologically informed queer performative autoethnography. The dissertation aims to take the reader on an artistic journey: one that may, at times, be disruptive or uncomfortable, but hopefully one that will also be provocative and productive. Act 1 of the dissertation takes the reader-as-audience-member on a script-based journey illuminating emergent theoretical and methodological processes informing the development of Intervention. Scene 1 explores the theoretical foundations of earlier iterations of this work, explicating research combining queer Christian theology and participatory theatre. Scene 2 (with audio performance) articulates the journey into a/r/tographic and performative autoethnography, with a particular focus on queer reflexivity as a path into more contemplative forms of scholarly activism. Scene 3 problematizes research ethics by bringing queer and disability theologies into conversation with traditional autoethnographic ethics. Scene 4, written in the form of a script, invites the reader into the development of performative autoethnography as a form of queer contemplative activism. Scene 5, also in script form, offers an analysis of the socio-cultural, theological, and reflexive issues that emerge within the performative autoethnographic research process. Finally, the dissertation concludes in Act 2, in video and script form, with the play Intervention. The play serves to integrate the contemplative, theoretical, and artistic research approaches from the earlier scenes into the development of a compelling artistic work. In so doing, this dissertation embraces autobiographical vulnerability, as well as performative and theological ambiguity, as instigators of reflection and conversation both within and outside the academy.

description: We show that the Big Bang singularity of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker model does not raise major problems to General Relativity. We prove a theorem showing that the Einstein equation can be written in a non-singular form, which allows the extension of the spacetime before the Big Bang. The physical interpretation of the fields used is discussed. These results follow from our research on singular semi-Riemannian geometry and singular General Relativity.

description: The subject of this thesis is a study of several multi armed bandit problems (MAB), with a focus on structured pure exploration bandit problems. We begin with an extensive overview of the MAB literature, with specific weight given to classical techniques and results, for pure exploration bandit problems. Over the course of our analysis we will explore several novel extensions to the MAB. Our first contribution will be to classify the minimax rate for the Thresholding Bandit Problem (TBP). We will then go on to consider the TBP under several shape constraints and again classify the minimax rate in each of these cases. Our second contribution is to study the shape constrained TBP in a problem dependent setting. For the TBP, under both a monotone and concave constraint, we provide problem dependent upper and lower bounds, matching up to log terms. Our third contribution is to consider a potentially infinite armed formulation of the MAB, where a proportion of the arms are optimal. In this setting we provide problem dependent upper and lower bounds, matching up to log terms, for both cumulative regret and best arm identification.
description: Das Gegenstand dieser Dissertation ist die Untersuchung von mehreren Multi Armed Bandit-Probleme (MAB) mit einem Fokus auf Structured Pure Exploration Bandit- Probleme. Wir fangen mit einer umfangreichen Übersicht der MAB Literatur an, wobei wir in die klassischen Techniken und Ergebnisse für Pure Exploration Bandit-Probleme tiefer eingehen. Im Laufe unserer Analyse werden wir mehrere originelle Erweiterungen zur MAB untersuchen. Unser erstes Beitrag wird das Klassifizieren der Minimax- Raten für das Thresholding Bandit Problem (TBP) sein. Anschließend werden wir das TBP unter einigen Formbeschränkungen betrachten und die Minimax-Rate in jedem dieser Fälle klassifizieren. Unser zweites Beitrag wird die Untersuchung des formbeschränkten TBPs in einer problemabhängigen Umgebung sein. Für das TBP, unter sowohl einem monotonen, als auch konkaven Zwang, bieten wir problemabhängige Ober- und Untergrenzen an, die bis auf die Log-Terme übereinstimmt. Unser dritter Beitrag wird die Betrachtung einer potentiellen Infinite Armed Formulierung des MAB sein, wobei ein Anteil der Arme optimal sind. In dieser Umgebung schaffen wir problemabhängige Ober- und Untergrenzen, die für beide Cumulative Regret und Best Arm Identification bis auf die Log-Terme übereinstimmt. Das letzte Kapitel von dieser Dissertation widmet sich einer laufenden Arbeit, der Cluster-Identifikation mit Bandit Rückmeldung.

description: We study effects from new colored states and the Higgs portal on gluon fusion production. We isolate possible loop contributions from new colored scalars, fermions, and vectors, incorporating effects from Higgs portal-induced scalar mixing, leading to dramatic effects on gluon fusion and branching fractions. Higgs identification must generally allow for these effects, and using our results, possible tensions from fits to the Standard Model expectation can be relieved by inclusion of New Physics effects.
