description: Several multi-locational varietal trials were carried out by CARDI in St Kitts and Nevis for the period 1992 to 1994. Because of these trials, the variety Texas Grano was replaced with new short-day cultivars. The new varieties, H7, H9, H60, H202 and PSX 2789, have been successfully introduced into the onion production systems and in 1995 accounted for over 95% of commercial production.

description: We report the coexistence of lamellar charge-ordered (CO) and charge-disordered (CD) domains, and their dynamical behavior, in La0.23Ca0.77MnO3. Using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we show that below Tcd~170K a CD-monoclinic phase forms within the established CO-orthorhombic matrix. The CD phase has a sheet-like morphology, perpendicular to the q vector of the CO superlattice (a axis of the Pnma structure). For temperatures between 64K and 130K, both the TEM and resistivity experiments show a dynamic competition between the two phases: at constant T, the CD phase slowly advances over the CO one. This slow dynamics appears to be linked to the magnetic transitions occurring in this compound, suggesting important magnetoelastic effects.

description: Introducing the publication of a long 1956 letter by Franco Modigliani (FM) to Paolo Sylos Labini (PSL) on the draft of PSL’s book, Oligopoly and Technical Progress, the paper critically reviews the theoretical background of FM’s comments, showing how the pre-Keynesian roots dominate the so-called neoclassical synthesis as well as its shaky foundations. The paper also discusses FM’s interpretation of PSL’s oligopoly theory, as well as their collaboration (and differences) on policy issues, such as their opposition to the 100% money wage indexation adopted in Italy from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Introducendo la pubblicazione di una lunga lettera del 1956 di Franco Modigliani (FM) a Paolo Sylos Labini (PSL) sulla stesura del libro di PSL, Oligopolio e Progresso Tecnico, la rivista rivede criticamente il background teorico dei commenti di FM, mostrando come le radici il pre-keynesiane dominano la cosiddetta sintesi neoclassica e le sue fondamenta instabili. Il documento discute anche l'interpretazione di FM della teoria dell'oligopolio di PSL, così come la loro collaborazione (e differenze) su questioni politiche, come la loro opposizione all'indicizzazione del 100% dei salari monetari adottata in Italia dalla metà degli anni '70 alla metà degli anni '80.

Dazu liefert die Literatur Informationen über die Auswirkungen des Asperger-Syndroms, über den Um-gang des Umfeldes mit betroffenen Menschen und den Einfluss der Diagnosestellung auf die Ressourcen der Familien. Mit der COR-Theorie nach Hobfoll (1998) lässt sich der Zusammenhang zwischen Ressourcengewin-nen und Ressourcenverlusten erklären. Mit Hilfe von Leitfaden-Interviews bei Eltern von betroffenen Kindern aus sechs Familien verglich ich die Einsichten aus der Theorie mit deren Erfahrungen aus der Praxis. Die Auswertung und Zusammenführung aller Antworten ergab, dass sich die Eltern mit einem Kind mit Asperger-Syndrom stark belastet fühlen. Sie wünschen sich insbesondere Verständnis und Interesse für die Besonderheiten ihres Kindes.

description: Yields of most vegetable crops have been improved by the beneficial effects of drip irrigation and mulching. The use of these crop management techniques reduces water use, increases water-use efficiency and improves yield and quality of vegetable crops. These benefits are significant in the Virgin Islands where water is a major limiting resource in crop production. Field experiments were conducted in 1991 and 1993 to evaluate the effects of organic and synthetic mulches on yield of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under drip irrigation. Basil was grown in plots with organic (compost or straw) and synthetic (black plastic or black fabric) mulches. A no-mulch control plot was also included. All plots were dripirrigated to maintain soil moisture tension at 30 kPa. In 1991, total plant fresh and leaf fresh and dry weights were highest in the compost mulch treatment. Fresh and dry basil yields in plots with black plastic mulch were almost identical with those in compost mulch, but did not differ from other treatments. In 1993, total plant and leaf fresh yields from plots under organic mulches were significantly higher than yields from plots with synthetic mulches. All mulch treatments resulted in lower water use, increased water use efficiency and lower weed population than the control (bare soil). Organic mulches reduced surface soil temperature by 2 to 5 °C. This study demonstrates the potential of organic mulches for improving production of herbs in the Virgin Islands.

Mentre nella sua autorevole revisione di articoli (1958) Modigliani ha analizzato e sviluppato in modo particolare le linee originali della teoria microeconomica di Sylos Labini, nella lettera ha discusso approfonditamente la macroeconomia di Sylos Labini. Modigliani ha criticato la classica definizione di investimento di Sylos Labini e la conseguente confusione tra le cause monetarie e reali della disoccupazione. Dalla loro corrispondenza emerge chiaramente la loro diversa prospettiva teorica: Modigliani era interessato a spiegare l'emergere dell'equilibrio della disoccupazione in un contesto statico, Sylos Labini la sua persistenza come il risultato di cambiamenti strutturali. This note discusses Modigliani’s and Sylos Labini’s unemployment theory starting from a long letter Modigliani wrote to his friend and colleague, commenting the provisional edition of “Oligopolio e Progresso Tecnico” (1956). While in his influential article review (1958) Modigliani especially analysed and developed along original lines Sylos Labini’s microeconomic theory, in the letter he deeply discussed Sylos Labini macroeconomics. Modigliani criticized Sylos Labini’s classical definition of investment and the ensuing confusion between monetary and real causes of unemployment. From their correspondence their different theoretical perspective clearly stands out: Modigliani was interested in explaining the emergence of unemployment equilibrium in a static context, Sylos Labini its persistence as the result of structural changes.

description: Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is one of the popular herbs with culinary importance in the Virgin Islands. Local herb growers traditionally water their crops with sprinkler cans and garden hoses. This method results in inefficient use of water, a scarce resource in the Virgin Islands. A field experiment was conducted in 1994 to determine the minimum requirement and efficient use of irrigation water for basil. Basil was grown in plots with and without mulch and drip-irrigated at various levels to maintain soil moisture tensions of 2 0 , 4 0 and 60kPa. A black fabric weed barrier ground cover was used in mulched plots. A rainfed plot without mulch was included as a control. Total fresh basil yield was highest (42.3 t/ha) in plots with no mulch and irrigated to maintain soil moisture at 40 kPa. Yield from this treatment was significantly different from other treatments except treatments irrigated at a soil moisture of 20 kPa with and without mulch. Similar results were obtained with leaf fresh yield. Yields from all drip-irrigated plots were significantly higher than the control. Total plant dry matter yield (5.79 t/ha) was highest in the treatment irrigated at 40 kPa without mulch, but was not significantly different from other treatments except the control. Water use was highest in the treatment irrigated at a soil moisture of 20 kPa with no mulch and lowest in the mulched plots irrigated at a soil moisture of 60 kPa. Mulching reduced water use of basil by 50%. Water use efficiency was highest when basil was irrigated to a soil moisture of 60 kPa combined with mulching. For this treatment water cost to produce a kilogram of fresh basil was US$1.97 compared with $5.76 when basil was irrigated at soil moisture of 20 kPa without mulch. This study shows that basil can be grown with minimum irrigation water equivalent to soil moisture of 60 kPa with mulch. At this level, water use is reduced and efficiency is improved.

description: Superconducting qubits are a leading platform for scalable quantum computing and quantum error correction. One feature of this platform is the ability to perform projective measurements orders of magnitude more quickly than qubit decoherence times. Such measurements are enabled by the use of quantum-limited parametric amplifiers in conjunction with ferrite circulators - magnetic devices which provide isolation from noise and decoherence due to amplifier backaction. Because these non-reciprocal elements have limited performance and are not easily integrated on-chip, it has been a longstanding goal to replace them with a scalable alternative. Here, we demonstrate a solution to this problem by using a superconducting switch to control the coupling between a qubit and amplifier. Doing so, we measure a transmon qubit using a single, chip-scale device to provide both parametric amplification and isolation from the bulk of amplifier backaction. This measurement is also fast, high fidelity, and has 70% efficiency, comparable to the best that has been reported in any superconducting qubit measurement. As such, this work constitutes a high-quality platform for the scalable measurement of superconducting qubits.

description: In an attempt to develop a dehydrated product, the food flavouring herb Eryngium foetidum Linn, commonly called 'shado beni' or 'bhandhanya' in Trinidad and Tobago, was dried in a natural convection cabinet dryer at 35, 45, 55 and 65 °C. The effects of various pre-drying treatments on the quality of the herb at 55 °C were also studied: steam blanching, water blanching and magnesium carbonate blanching. Drying of the fresh herb at high temperatures, e.g. 55 and 65 °C, resulted in an undesirable colour change from the green, typical of the fresh herb, to olive-brown/brown. This was paralleled by a decline in the herb's volatile oil constituent from 0.276% d.b for fresh shado beni to 0.049 and 0.030% d.b for the herb dried at 55 and 65 °C respectively. Shado beni dried at 35 °C appeared olive-green with an oil content of 0.095% d.b. Loss of green colour was considerably reduced by blanching in either water or magnesium carbonate prior to drying at 55 °C. Compared to the unblanched dried herb, oil yield was unaffected by the pre-drying treatments investigated.
title: Issues affecting the utility of computer-based mapping applications

Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: This thesis records an investigation of the issues that affect the utility of computer-based mapping applications - where a computer-based mapping application provides a computer-generated environment to facilitate the construction of concept maps. 'Concept map' is a term used to describe a graphical representation, the purpose of which is to informally express ideas and the associations between ideas, whilst facilitating the generation and sorting of ideas. The work reported is the first of its kind to compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of the different media with which concept maps can be constructed. The work is exploratory, combining investigation with software development. A brief overview of the content of the work completed is as follows: • The literature relating to concept mapping was reviewed to identify the likely needs of those engaged in mapping activities. • A significant sample of people was surveyed in order to ascertain the perceived needs of those engaged in mapping. • The software currently available to draw maps was surveyed in order to assess the utility of computer-based mapping applications, with respect to the perceived needs of mappers. • A prototype computer-based mapping application was developed to act as a focus for mappers' comments. • As a result of feedback from users of the prototype computer-based mapping application, it was discovered that the main way in which people create maps is to generate and sort a few ideas at a time. • The prototype software was further developed, as a result of feedback from mappers, . and in its final form has been made available in the public domain. • A glossary of terms was developed, by which the designers and users of computer-based mapping applications can assess the utility of any given piece of software, in the light of the tasks mappers wish to achieve.

description: We report the abundance analysis of new high S/N spectra of the most metal-poor ([Fe/H] $= -2.95$) star presently known to be a member of a dwarf galaxy, the Draco dSph red giant, D119. No absorption lines for elements heavier than Ni are detected in two Keck HIRES spectra covering the $λλ$ 3850--6655 Å wavelength range, phenomenon not previously noted in any other metal-poor star. We present upper limits for several heavy element abundances. The most stringent limits, based on the non-detection of \ion{Sr}{2} and \ion{Ba}{2} lines, indicate that the total s- and r-process enrichment of D119 is at least 100 times smaller than Galactic stars of similar metallicity. The light element abundances are consistent with the star having formed out of material enciched primarily by massive Type II supernovae (M $> 20$--25 M$_{\odot}$). If this is the case, we are forced to conclude that massive, metal-poor Type II supernovae did not contribute to the r-process in the proto-Draco environment. We compare the abundance pattern observed in D119 to current predictions of prompt enrichement and pair-instability supernovae and find that the model predictions fail by an order or maginitude or more for many elements.

description: Inserted in a context of increased importance of agribusiness in the country's economy, concomitant with a period of negative economic variations, the objective of this article was to analyze the relationships between the fluctuation of variables related to the economic context of Brazil, with the behavior of the Liquidity Indicator Current (ILC) of 33 agribusiness companies, listed on the B3 SA Stock Exchange between 2010 and 2016. As a quantitative research, the static technique of Panel Data Analysis was used for the study of emerging data relationships. And the results showed that the most significant relationships for the ILC, came from the companies that support the sector. In the macroeconomic context, a direct relationship between the GDP and the ILC was identified, and at the microeconomic level, the unanimity of the relations between the ILC and the independent variables, indicated that the sector's economic activity was significantly related to the short-term financial surplus. publicly traded agribusiness companies. It was concluded that when measuring the ratio of the ILC by the behavior of the country's macroeconomic indices, that the variable presented a statistically significant relationship only with the GDP due to the operational increase that the increase in the country's wealth generated in the company's short-term assets. Regarding the statistical metric of the microeconomic relationship, the conclusion was that the ILC was driven by the positive balance of agribusiness trade balance in the period, and by the good performance of agriculture. Since livestock, observed within the Agribusiness GDP variable, was negatively related to the ILC of the analyzed companies, and therefore did not cooperate with the short term situation of the analyzed companies expressed from the Current Liquidity Indicator (ILC).

description: An ultra-short (about 30 fs) petawatt laser pulse focused with a wide focal spot (about 100 microns) in a rarefied plasma (electron density of order 10^{17} per cm^3) excites a nonlinear plasma wakefield which can accelerate injected electrons up to the GeV energy without any pulse channelling. In these conditions, propagation of the laser pulse with an over-critical power for relativistic self-focusing is almost the same as in vacuum. The nonlinear quasi-plane wake plasma wave, whose amplitude and phase velocity vary along the laser path, effectively traps and accelerates injected electrons with a wide range of initial energies. Electrons accelerated along two Rayleigh lengths (about eight centimeters) can gain an energy up to 1 GeV. In particular, the electrons trapped from quite a long (of order 330 fs) non-resonant electron beamlet of 1 MeV particles eventually form a low emittance bunch with energies in the range 900 MeV and energy spread about 10%. All these conclusions follow from two-dimensional simulations performed in cylindrical geometry by means of the fully relativistic time-averaged particle code WAKE.

description:  Various sole edaphic factor has been screened as controlling factor for paddy biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), however, no single factor can interpret different results from different experiments. Paddy BNF might be influenced by several factors simultaneously at various degrees, but we still lack a model to predict BNF as a function of multiple edaphic factors. Developing this model will help us to estimate BNF based on soil properties and improve policy decisions to enhance paddy BNF. In this paper, 27 paddy soil samples with different soil properties were collected from the southwest to the northeast in China. These soils with rice plantations were incubated for 77 days in an airtight, transparent, and 15N2 enriched growth chamber to measure BNF. Results showed that BNF amounts ranged from 0.66 to 12.3 kg ha-1 and had a lognormal distribution. A multiplicative model was developed, the R code and raw data were deposited in this project. This multiplicative model could explain 86% variance of the BNF in various soils. In each site, the controlling factors were screened and corresponding measures to enhance BNF were proposed. Our study provided a systematic framework on how BNF responded to a range of edaphic factors simultaneously in paddy soils, and this work might also give inspiration for the study of other ecological functions.

description: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is widely employed to characterize paramagnetic complexes. Recently, EPR combined with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) achieved single-spin sensitivity with sub-angstrom spatial resolution. The excitation mechanism of EPR in STM, however, is broadly debated, raising concerns about widespread application of this technique. Here, we present an extensive experimental study and modelling of EPR-STM of Fe and hydrogenated Ti atoms on an MgO surface. Our results support a piezoelectric coupling mechanism, in which the EPR species oscillate adiabatically in the inhomogeneous magnetic field of the STM tip. An analysis based on Bloch equations combined with atomic-multiplet calculations identifies different EPR driving forces. Specifically, transverse magnetic-field gradients drive the spin-1/2 hydrogenated Ti, whereas longitudinal magnetic-field gradients drive the spin-2 Fe. Additionally, our results highlight the potential of piezoelectric coupling to induce electric dipole moments, thereby broadening the scope of EPR-STM to nonpolar species and nonlinear excitation schemes.
Gold and cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles capped with oligothiophenes

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The preparation and characterization of hybrid materials composed of oligothiophene-capped Au and CdSe nanoparticles with novel chemical, structural, electronic and optical properties are reported. α-Phosphino-oligothiophenes (12-15 and 23) and thiol-substituted oligothiophenes (26, 29, 32) were prepared by metal-catalyzed coupling reactions and studied using absorption and emission spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. These functionalized oligothiophenes were used to passivate the surface of Au (16-19) and CdSe (CdSe-26, CdSe-29, CdSe-32) nanoparticles. Oligothiophene-capped Au nanoparticles were prepared directly by reducing a Au salt in the presence of the phosphino-oligothiophene. Attachment to the Au nanoparticles has little effect on the electronic structure of the oligothiophene as determined from the absorption spectra. On the other hand, the oligothiophenes appear to affect the electronic structure of the Au nanoparticle, as observed via a red-shift in the surface plasmon absorption. Electrochemical oxidation of the phosphino-terthiophene capped Au nanoparticles lead to crosslinking where the nanoparticles are linked both structurally and electronically by observed increases in conjugation, conductivity and plasmon coupling relative to the unlinked particles. The oligothiophene bridge linking the Au nanoparticles is shown to facilitate plasmon coupling between adjacent nanoparticles. The crosslinked material also demonstrates tunable conductivity where the conductivity in the material can be increased by oxidative doping of the π-conjugated bridge. Oligothiophene-capped CdSe nanoparticles were prepared through an exchange reaction between thiol-substituted oligothiophenes and trioctylphosphine oxide-capped CdSe nanoparticles. Attachment of the oligothiophenes to the CdSe nanoparticle has little effect on the electronic structure of the oligothiophene as determined from the absorption spectra. However, the optical properties are significantly affected where the oligothiophene emission is quenched after attachment to the CdSe surface due to either an energy or electron transfer mechanism. Depending on the number of oligothiophenes attached to the CdSe surface, the optical properties of the CdSe nanoparticles are affected differently. An excess number of thiols act as hole traps leading to quenching of the nanoparticle emission. Attempts to electrochemically crosslink these oligothiophene-capped CdSe nanoparticles were unsuccessful possibly due to the intrinsic resistivity in the particles.[See Thesis for Diagrams]

description: Fundamental limits on the controllability of quantum mechanical systems are discussed in the light of quantum information theory. It is shown that the amount of entropy-reduction that can be extracted from a quantum system by feedback controller is upper bounded by a sum of the decrease of entropy achievable in open-loop control and the mutual information between the quantum system and the controller. This upper bound sets a fundamental limit on the performance of any quantum controllers whose designs are based on the possibilities to attain low entropy states. An application of this approach pertaining to quantum error correction is also discussed.

description: Conjugated Schiff-base macrocycles are interesting compounds of interest as platforms for catalysis, the preparation of novel synthetic ion channels and potentially as porous or tubular discotic liquid crystals. The preparation of organic macrocycles is typically low yielding, with polymerization competing with cyclization; the use of imines derived from the condensation of an aldehyde and an amine provides a means by which to conduct cyclizations under thermodynamic control and thereby improve yields. The use of difunctional aldehydes and amines allows for the formation of macrocycles in high yields without the need for high-dilution conditions. Two highly substituted dialdehydes also bearing phenolic and aikyl functionalities were prepared by several routes in an effort to obtain macrocycle precursors. These precursors were characterized and subsequently employed to prepare [3+3] Schiff-base macrocycles with a large number of appended aikyl and alkoxy substituents in hopes that they would display discotic liquid crystallinity. A series of highly substituted [3+3] Schiff-base macrocycles was prepared and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV-Vis, and IR spectroscopies in addition to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The thermal properties of these macrocycles were also examined, and they were not found to display liquid crystalline mesophases either by differential scanning calorimetry or polarizing optical microscopy. A crystal structure of one of the macrocycles was obtained and was found to display structural features not previously observed in related macrocycles.

Masterarbeit

description: Der Einsatz von Tieren – insbesondere von Hunden – in Pädagogik und Therapie hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine starke Zunahme erfahren. Tiergestützte Interventionen sind heute beliebt, da Erfahrungen der Praxis zeigen, dass pädagogische und therapeutische Massnahmen vom Einsatz von Tieren profitieren können. Obwohl es verschiedene Hinweise auf eine positive Wirkung von Hunden auf die kindlichen Erziehungs- und Bildungsprozesse gibt, ist die hundegestützte Pädagogik eine neuere wissenschaftlich erforschte Intervention. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht den aktuellen empirischen Forschungsstand der hundegestützten Intervention zur Leseförderung bei Kindern. Die Literaturarbeit geht dabei folgenden Fragen nach: „Welche positiven Wirkungen haben die Hunde auf die Menschen? Weshalb entstehen diese Effekte, und wie können diese in der Pädagogik gezielt genutzt werden? Wo liegen die Chancen der hundegestützten Leseförderung, insbesondere für leseschwache Kinder, und wo sind ihre Grenzen? Welche Konsequenzen lassen sich daraus für das sonderpädagogische Setting ableiten?“ Die Literaturarbeit beinhaltet ein Studium der Grundlagenliteratur und mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse werden internationale Studien, Übersichtsarbeiten und Reviews zur hundegestützten Leseförderung untersucht, um schlussendlich einen praktischen Nutzen aus der Arbeit ziehen zu können.

description: Where modern heating and cooking fuels for domestic, institutional, commercial and industrial use are not readily available, briquettes made from biomass residues could contribute to the sustainable supply of energy. This study reviews the briquette making process, looking at the entire value chain starting from the type and characteristics of feedstock used for briquette making to the potential market for briquettes in developing countries. It also analyzes the role that gender plays in briquette production. Depending on the raw materials used and technologies applied during production, fuel briquettes come in different qualities and dimensions, and thus require appropriate targeting of different market segments. Key drivers of success in briquette production and marketing include ensuring consistent supply of raw materials with good energy qualities, appropriate technologies, and consistency in the quality and supply of the briquettes. Creating strong partnerships with key stakeholders, such as the municipality, financiers and other actors within the briquette value chain, and enabling policy are important drivers for the success of briquette businesses.

description: Environmental flows (EF) are an important component of Goal 6 (the ‘water goal’) of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, many countries still do not have well-defined criteria on how to define EF. In this study, we bring together the International Water Management Institute’s (IWMI’s) expertise and previous research in this area to develop a new methodology to quantify EF at a global scale. EF are developed for grids (0.1 degree spatial resolution) for different levels of health (defined as environmental management classes [EMCs]) of river sections. Additionally, EF have been separated into surface water and groundwater components, which also helps in developing sustainable groundwater abstraction (SGWA) limits. An online tool has been developed to calculate EF and SGWA in any area of interest.

description: In this paper, a simplified way for communities andresearchers to set up a full traffic representation of an urbancity in SUMO is provided. With this simulation, research on awide scale of scenarios is possible. The city of Mannheim servesas a base structure for modelling a traffic environment and thismodel is then used for testing different traffic situations andoptimizations. The combined causality of autonomous vehiclesas well as major events that bring along a large number ofpeople with transportation needs are given as use cases by theassociated work. It is also shown that it is possible to integratefurther technologies like reinforcement learning in the simulation.With this toolchain the traffic situations can be optimized for anycity and changed to a better way of sustainable co-living.

Proposed New Test of Spin Effects in General Relativity

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The recent discovery of a double-pulsar PSR J0737-3039A/B provides an opportunity of unequivocally observing, for the first time, spin effects in general relativity. Existing efforts involve detection of the precession of the spinning body itself. However, for a close binary system, spin effects on the orbit may also be discernable. Not only do they add to the advance of the periastron (by an amount which is small compared to the conventional contribution) but they also give rise to a precession of the orbit about the spin direction. The measurement of such an effect would also give information on the moment of inertia of pulsars.

description: The recent developments in the technology of the instrumental analysis have led to faster and cheaper analysis with a decrease in the detection limits and an increase in the specifity and sensitivity. At the research level modem spectroscopic and chromatographic methods are becoming increasingly important as tools for probing complex, heterogeneous systems as well as for analysing trace components. Because of the reduction in size, automatization and simplification of these instruments all these methods can be also used routinely for ensuring the quality of raw material and products. In this article a number of selected methods will be briefly described, illustrating the diversity of their applications.

description: Zielsetzung der vorliegenden Masterthese ist die Plausibilisierung unterschiedlichster MaÃYnahmen zur Baukostenreduzierung im mehrgeschossigen Wohnungsneubau, die gegenwÃ¤rtig seitens diverser BautrÃ¤ger, Wirtschaftstreibender, aber auch der Politik gefordert wird. Die in dieser Arbeit gewonnenen Kenntnisse und heraus gearbeiteten MaÃYnahmen wurden anhand eines Wohnungsneubauprojekts, welches Gegenstand der Gruppenarbeit "DurchfÃ¼hrungsprojekt" war, plausibilisiert. Das Resultat dieses "DurchfÃ¼hrungsprojekts" war ein mehrgeschossiger Wohnungsneubau im 12. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, nahe der Rechten Wienzeile und sah 96 Wohnungseinheiten mit rund 10.437 m2 NutzflÃ¤che vor. Insgesamt bestand das projektierte Objekt aus zwÃ¶lf Geschossen, wobei zwei UntergeschoÃYe die KFZStellplatzflÃ¤chen berÃ¼cksichtigten. Als Grundlage zur Bestimmung etwaiger EinsparungsmaÃYnahmen wurden Stellungnahmen und Informationen von ArchitekturbÃ¼ros, Immobilienprojektentwicklern und technischen BÃ¼ros in Bezug auf den Wohnungsneubau im Wiener Gemeindegebiet heran gezogen. Die im Zuge dieser Arbeit untersuchten EinsparungsmaÃYnahmen im mehrgeschossigen Wohnungsneubau wurden in Folge in die Projektkalkulation des "DurchfÃ¼hrungsprojekts" implementiert und der ursprÃ¼nglichen Kalkulation gegenÃ¼bergestellt. Zusammenfassend kann man zwischen solchen MaÃYnahmen, die sich gravierend auf die Baukosten auswirken kÃ¶nnen und jenen MaÃYnahmen, die einzeln betrachtet eine tendenziell marginale VerÃ¤nderung der Kosten nach sich ziehen, in Summe all dieser aber eine wesentliche Beeinflussung darstellen kÃ¶nnen, unterscheiden. Betrachtet man jedoch lediglich jene EinsparungsmaÃYnahmen, die entscheidende VerÃ¤nderungen nach sich ziehen, wie z.B. eine Ã"nderung des Stellplatzregulativs oder eine Ã"nderung der Notkaminverordnung, kÃ¶nnen bereits dadurch Kostensenkungen iHv rund 6,3 % der GIK (in absoluten Zahlen: â,¬ 2.000.000,- bei ursprÃ¼nglichen Gesamtinvestitionskosten von rund â,¬ 32.000.000,-) erzielt werden.
