description: As there are apparently no doubts concerning the existence of Nazi anti-Semitism before 1933 regarding this topic - having largely been ignored by scholars of contemporary history - seems to be no use. This article tends to trace the role of anti-Semitism during the ascend of the Nazi-movement. Therefore, the author describes the theoretic function of this phenomena for the NSDAP by referring to Hitler's Weltanschauung and the official program of the party. But how did this anti-Jewish ideology find its way into the party's day-to-day agitation? By analysing Hitler's political speeches it is shown how, after 1925/26, the Führer tried to present himself as a moderate politician - for he had realised that the NSDAP had to become a mass-movement in order to gain political power in Weimar Germany. Vis-à-vis the party's antisemitic membership, mainly retailers and graduates, anti-Jewish stereotypes were pushed in propaganda. Yet, National Socialist anti-Semitism was not only opportunist in that it was played up or down depending upon when and where it hit responsive chords, it was also subject to the regional Gauleiter if this phenomena was promoted like in Streicher's Franconia or restricted like in Württemberg, Hamburg or Danzig. Only after the world-wide economic crisis of 1929 the NSDAP had considerable success in the Reichstag's elections. The party presented itself as the only power being capable to establish a new order in Germany. The propaganda focused on the main enemies of the National Socialists: Communism and the liberal democracy - in this context, the anti-Semitism was negligible.

title: Ein Vergleich der Kurzgeschichten Franz Kafkas mit ausgewählten Werken von J. M. Coetzee
Creators: name: Drobik, Caroline
Year: 2013

description: Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit ausgewählten Werken von J. M. Coetzee in Zusammenhang mit bestimmten Kurzgeschichten von Franz Kafka. Bevor diese Werke dem Vergleich unterzogen werden, wird im ersten theoretischen Kapitel der literaturwissenschaftliche Vergleich genau erläutert und dokumentiert. Hierbei werden auch Fachbegriffe erläutert. Die fünf ausgewählten Kurzgeschichten Franz Kafkas sind nach ihrem Erscheinungsdatum chronologisch sortiert. Ausgehend von jedem einzelnen Werk Kafkas, kommt es vorab zu einer Analyse dieses Textes. Anschließend wird die Kurzgeschichte, aufbauend auf die analysierten Erkenntnisse, mit jeweils einzelnen Werken von J. M. Coetzee verglichen. Alle Kapitel sind nach diesem System aufgebaut. Beispielhaft dafür, werde ich das zweite Kapitel Franz Kafka: Das Urteil erläutern: Das zweite Kapitel beginnt mit dieser Vorhergehensweise. Nachdem kurz Handlung und Aufbau von Das Urteil erläutert wird, kommt es zu einer Untersuchung der Struktur und Interpretation der Motive. Schließlich ist eine geeignete Basis geschaffen und es kommt im zweiten Teil dieses Kapitels zu dem eigentlichen Vergleich mit zwei Werken von J. M. Coetzee. An Hand der Untersuchungen werden Coetzees Texte analysiert. Die Ergebnisse sind unterschiedlich, allerdings weisen sie alle auf eine Verbindung hin. Nachdem alle Werke analysiert und miteinander verglichen wurden, kommt es im abschließenden Kapitel Conclusio zu den Ergebnissen dieser Vergleiche.

title: Geniekult versus Starkult
Creators: name: Triebnig, Silvester Karl
Year: 2013

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Personenkult um prominente Musiker in Form von Geniekult und Starkult vom Barock bis in das 21. Jahrhundert. Nach einer einleitenden Beschäftigung mit der Herkunft der Begriffe „Genie“ und „Star“ und einer grundlegenden Einführung in das Phänomen der gesellschaftlichen Prominenz nach soziologischen Aspekten werden ausgewählte Entwicklungen anhand von Beispielen beschrieben: Die Trennung des Musikers von den Auftragsgebern Kirche und Hof als erster Schritt in eine neue Mündigkeit und das Entstehen von Geniekult und ernster Musik; technischer Fortschritt als Rahmenbedingung für das neu entstehende bürgerliche Konzert und somit die endgültige Etablierung von „Kunst“, damit einhergehend die Emanzipation des Interpreten als Startpunkt für einen frühen Starkult; mediale Industrialisierung und Verlagerung des Musikmarktes in die USA als Grundstein für das Entstehen der Plattenindustrie, der Popmusik und schließlich des modernen Musikstars; die Bildung des Massengeschmacks und die Verwendung neuer Techniken um diesen Star zu vermarkten; und letztendlich die neuen Herausforderungen für den Star durch die Entstehung des Internets und somit die immer stärker werdende Alltäglichkeit von Musik. Es werden hierfür Aspekte aus dem Leben von Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Elvis Presley und anderen herausgegriffen und moderne „Starschmieden“ wie der Radiokonzern Clear Channel oder der Fernsehsender MTV beschrieben; all diese Beobachtungen führen schließlich zu einem Fazit und der Definition drei wesentlicher Tendenzen, welche die Grundlage für den Verlauf vom Geniekult zum Starkult bilden: Die stetige Erweiterung des Publikums, der Übergang vom Komponisten zum Interpreten und zum DJ, und letztlich der Konzentrationswechsel in der Musikbranche vom Kunstwerk auf die Show und schließlich auf die Vermarktung.

title: Miniaturen der Metropole bei Stefan Zweig
Creators: name: Trauner, Bettina
Year: 2013

description: Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Raumwahrnehmung und Bewegung im Raum in ausgewählten Stadttexten von Stefan Zweig mittels einer detaillierten Textanalyse untersucht. Die Textgrundlage bilden insgesamt zehn Schriften über die modernen Metropolen Wien, Paris, London und New York. Das erste Kapitel veranschaulicht exemplarisch die Textsorte und es werden die Spezifika hinsichtlich Wahrnehmung, wie der subjektive Charakter der Stadt beziehungsweise der objektive der Menschen sowie die Wirkung der Metropole auf die Bewegung der Menschen, aufgezeigt. Die Textanalyse in Hinblick auf explizite Fragestellungen erfolgt im dritten beziehungsweise vierten Kapitel. Im zweiten Kapitel werden stadtsoziologische Aspekte, wie der Gemütszustand der „Blasiertheit“ nach Georg Simmel, wonach der Städter gegen die Reize der städtischen Umgebung abstumpft, vorgebracht. Weiters wird auf die raumkonstituierenden Praktiken Sehen und Gehen, wodurch sich für den Erzähler laut Michel de Certeau die Stadt erschließt, hingewiesen. Hinsichtlich der Bewegung im Raum ist an erster Stelle Walter Benjamin zu nennen, der die auratische Wahrnehmung der Stadt des Flaneurs beschreibt. In Anbetracht des Phänomens Masse ist Elias Canetti hervorzuheben, der die Überwindung der Berührungsfurcht der Menschen für die Anziehungskraft der Masse verantwortlich macht. Neben solchen philosophischen Quellen werden außerdem literarische Entsprechungen wie Rainer Maria Rilkes "Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge" hinsichtlich der Figur des Flaneurs oder Joseph Roths "Bekenntnis zum Gleisdreieck" aufgezeigt. Im dritten Kapitel „Alte Städte – neue Städte“ werden die Paris- und New York-Texte einem Vergleich unterzogen, wobei Paris vertraut und geschichtsträchtig erscheint. Im Gegensatz dazu wirkt die amerikanische Großstadt fremd und unvollendet. Unterschiedliche atmosphärische und morphologische Voraussetzungen beeinflussen die Bewegung der Menschen im Raum. Während Paris sich als ideale Stadt für den Flaneur darstellt, scheint sich in New York der Massenmensch im Sinne von Edgar Allan Poe zuhause zu fühlen. Das vierte Kapitel „Metropolen werden anthropomorph – Menschen werden amorph“ zeigt, wie die Stadt zum Subjekt des jeweiligen Textes wird. New York wird menschliches Leben eingehaucht, indem die Stadt eine Stimme und einen Herzschlag hat. Stoffe erlangen menschliche Zustände, wenn das Gold der französischen Nationalbank als schlafend beschrieben wird. Außerdem werden Städte als Organismen oder Landschaften begriffen, New York gleicht etwa einem Gebirge. Menschen werden im Gegensatz dazu nur flüchtig dargestellt und treten hinter die Stadt zurück. Individuelles bleibt ausgespart, Menschen werden lediglich als Masse wahrgenommen, die der Stadt untertan ist.

Scientific inquiry as social and linguistic practice: language socialization pathways in a ninth-grade physics class

description: English Language Learners (ELLs) in K-12 schools in the United States. have lower standardized test scores and lower high school graduation rates than their native-English speaking peers. Similar performance gaps exist for Latino/a students when compared to White non-Latino/a students, even if they are not identified as English learners and were schooled in the United States. Language minority students are also underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Equity in access to STEM degrees and professions is a social justice issue with economic implications. STEM careers provide economic security for individuals and growth in STEM industries is important for the United States economy. As the demographics in the United States change to include more workers from language minority backgrounds, it has become even more imperative to ensure equitable access to STEM careers. Traditional approaches to studying equity for K-12 language minority students in the sciences focus on narrowly defined pedagogical methods aimed at improving the performance of language learners on science assessments. However, language socialization research using ethnographic methods suggests that studentsâ€™ classroom-based social positioning shapes their learning and their affiliation or disaffiliation with particular disciplines. Thus, this dissertation explores science expertise as a discursively constructed stance not as a set of acquired facts.  In this dissertation research, I use ethnography and classroom discourse analysis to study peer group interactions and explore how language minority students either achieve or do not achieve science expert status in their physics lab groups. In order to trace the language socialization pathways of three Spanish-English bilingual Latina students, it was also necessary to document community-level norms related to academic success.  The findings in this dissertation center on these two phenomena: classroom-level identities related to academic success during lab work and the experiences of language minority students as they navigated social interactions during lab tasks. Classroom-level findings suggest that students oriented to three local identities related to academic success: (1) the science expert, (2) the good student, and (3) the good assistant. Looking across the socialization pathways of the Latina students in the class revealed that their identities as Latinas and Spanish-speakers intersected with their ability to articulate science expert status in complicated ways. I conclude this dissertation with implications for research on Latino/as in STEM, classroom discourse studies, language socialization research, and science teacher education.

Magnetic guidance of cochlear-implant electrode arrays at clinical scale

Hearing loss

description: For many with severe-to-profound hearing loss, a condition in which the cochlea is unable to convert sound vibration into neural information to the brain, the cochlear implant has become the standard treatment. The goal of a cochlear-implant system is to bypass the malfunctioned cochlea and directly stimulate the nerves responsible for hearing through an array of electrodes on a silicone-elastomer carrier. However, the insertion of the electrode arrays can often cause intracochlear damage and eliminate residual hearing. With increased focus on hearing preservation in cochlear implantation, methods to minimize intracochlear damage have become a priority in electrode-array insertions.  This dissertation explores the application of magnetic manipulation toward improved cochlear-implant electrode-array insertions. We start with initial 3-to-1 proof-of-concept experiments to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach. Then, to achieve relevancy at clinical scale, lateral-wall-type electrode-array models, used in the clinic, are slightly modified at the tip to include a tiny magnet. Next, a scala-tympani phantom is designed with both simulated cochleostomy and round-window openings to mimic both classes of insertions typically conducted. In particular, this is the first phantom to model a round-window opening and can be used reliably to simulate insertion forces in cadaver cochleae.  Electrode arrays are then magnetically guided through these phantoms with a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in insertion forces, and by as much as 50% for some electrode-array models. In particular, guiding the electrode-array tip through the cochlear hook and the basal turn, in the same insertion, was demonstrated for the first time using this technology. All existing methods to guide the electrode array can only be accomplished for the basal turn.  Analysis is conducted to determine the optimal size and placement of a magnetic dipole-field source for use in the clinic. Its placement is determined to be consistently lateral to and anterior to the patientâ€™s cochlea. Its size depends on numerous factors including the patient, torque requirements, and registration error. Sensitivity curves summarizing these factors are provided. The volume of the magnetic dipole-field source can be reduced by a factor of 5, on average, by moving it from the modiolar configuration originally proposed to this optimal configuration. We verify that magnetic forces do not pose any appreciable risk to the basilar membrane at the optimal configuration. Although patient-specific optimal configurations are characterized, a one-size-fits-all version is described that may be more practical and carries the benefit of substantial robustness to registration error.
Determination of rayleigh wave ellipticity using single-station and array-based processing of ambient seismic noise

description: We present a single-station method for the determination of Rayleigh wave ellipticity, or Rayleigh wave horizontal to vertical amplitude ratio (H/V) using Frequency Dependent Polarization Analysis (FDPA). This procedure uses singular value decomposition of 3-by-3 spectral covariance matrices over 1-hr time windows to determine properties of the ambient seismic noise field such as particle motion and dominant wave-type. In FPDA, if the noise is mostly dominated by a primary singular value and the phase difference is roughly 90Â° between the major horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the corresponding singular vector, we infer that Rayleigh waves are dominant and measure an H/V ratio for that hour and frequency bin. We perform this analysis for all available data from the Earthscope Transportable Array between 2004 and 2014. We compare the observed Rayleigh wave H/V ratios with those previously measured by multicomponent, multistation noise cross-correlation (NCC), as well as classical noise spectrum H/V ratio analysis (NSHV). At 8 sec the results from all three methods agree, suggesting that the ambient seismic noise field is Rayleigh wave dominated. Between 10 and 30 sec, while the general pattern agrees well, the results from FDPA and NSHV are persistently slightly higher (~2%) and significantly higher (>20%), respectively, than results from the array-based NCC. This is likely caused by contamination from other wave types (i.e., Love waves, body waves, and tilt noise) in the single station methods, but it could also reflect a small, persistent error in NCC.   Additionally, we find that the single station method has difficulty retrieving robust Rayleigh wave H/V ratios within major sedimentary basins, such as the Williston Basin and Mississippi Embayment, where the noise field is likely dominated by reverberating Love waves.

description: Evidence shows that it is paramount for stakeholders to understand the cybersecurity of relevant organizations. However, the secrecy surrounding cyber attacks and how organizations manage their cyber resilience make it impossible for stakeholders to develop this understanding. This paper analyzes organizational cyber resilience, its contextual factors and its impact on the outcomes of cyber attacks based on publicly available data. Using the PRISMA methodology, we collated and analyzed a dataset of 1,145 publicly known cyber attacks. We conceptualize and operationalize cyber resilience from a governance perspective. Our findings indicate that organizations that suffered cyber attacks had the following cyber resilience characteristics: a relatively low level of cyber resilience reflected in the low frequency of cybersecurity roles, low reliance on cybersecurity frameworks, and relatively low strength of prevention, detection, and recovery controls. Cyber resilience is found to be associated with the sector, size, and digital intensity. Linear regression indicates that, expectedly, stronger prevention, detection, and recovery processes are related to lower breach severity and occurrence of investigations or penalties, but contrary to expectations, cybersecurity roles and frameworks are not. Furthermore, better organizational responses are associated with higher breach severity but they are not found to have an impact on the level of investigations, fines, and penalties imposed. We discuss our findings and their implications for cyber resilience regulation, future research, and sector cooperation.
Blue noise virtual point lights for global illumination

description: Virtual point lights (VPLs) provide an effective solution to global illumination computation by converting the indirect illumination into direct illumination from many virtual light sources. This approach results in a less noisy image compare to Monte Carlo methods. In addition, the number of VPLs to generate can be specified in advance; therefore, it can be adjusted depending on the scene, desired quality, time budget, and the available computational power. In this thesis, we investigate a new technique that carefully places VPLs for providing improved rendering quality for computing global illumination using VPLs. Our method consists of three different passes. In the first pass, we randomly generate a large number of VPLs in the scene starting from the camera to place them in positions that can contribute to the final rendered image. Then, we remove a considerable number of these VPLs using a Poisson disk sample elimination method to get a subset of VPLs that are uniformly distributed over the part of the scene that is indirectly visible to the camera. The second pass is to estimate the radiant intensity of these VPLs by performing light tracing starting from the original light sources in the scene and scatter the radiance of light rays at a hit-point to the VPLs close to that point. The final pass is rendering the scene, which consists of shading all points in the scene visible to the camera using the original light sources and VPLs.

The effects of intuition on ethical decision making: the role of the concern for othersâ€™ interests

Intuition

description: As a mode of thought and information processing strategy, intuition can lead people to behave ethically. However, very little is known about when intuition leads to ethical outcomes and why. Drawing on research on prosociality, I argue that intuitive decisions are generally more ethical than deliberative ones because people have a spontaneous concern for othersâ€™ interests, which can be overcome by self-interested deliberation. Drawing on research on framing, I argue that intuition is less likely to result in ethical decisions under the condition of business framing because business framing attenuates the effect of intuition on the concern for othersâ€™ interests. I examine the relationships among mode of thought (i.e., intuition vs. deliberation), framing of the decision making context (i.e., business vs. nonbusiness), the concern for othersâ€™ interests, and the ethicality of oneâ€™s decisions in a series of experiments. Data across these studies did not provide empirical support for my predictions. However, I found incidental yet consistent empirical evidence that the concern for othersâ€™ interests is positively associated with ethical decisions.

description: Accurate genotyping of the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are crucial for the success of hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplantation. Over the past 50 years, numerous methodologies have been used for HLA typing but technological limitations have prevented full interrogation of the HLA gene thus resulting in allelic ambiguity. In order to resolve these ambiguities, additional testing is often required, leading to increased expense and delay in reporting the genotyping results. Recently, advances in nucleic acid sequencing technologies, generally referred to as next-generation sequencing (NGS), have become available. HLA genotyping by NGS is poised to become the new gold standard for several reasons. First, the entire gene can be interrogated, as opposed to a few exons, thus enabling greater resolution of known polymorphisms outside of the T cell recognition site on the HLA molecule. Secondly, missing genetic sequences in the curated databases will become more complete thus improving the algorithms used for alignment to a reference sequence. Lastly, NGS will become the new gold standard because high-resolution genotyping can be achieved without the need for additional time and laboratory resources in order to resolve allelic ambiguities and meet typing requirements required by regulatory agencies. In this thesis I discuss my efforts to employ this new technology by developing an assay for genotyping of the HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, and DQB1 genes. In the new assay, 98% of all alleles typed correctly and unambiguously without the need for any secondary testing. This in-house method is later compared with two recently released commercial kits and 100% concordance was found between the three methods.  Differences in workflow are compared and contrasted. In conclusion, we show that HLA genotyping by NGS produces more correct and unambiguous results than traditional Sanger sequencing without the need for reflex testing.

description: El origen del español americano ha sido objeto de diversos estudios, debates y distintas opiniones que buscan propiciar una posible explicación al génesis y la conformación del español de América. Como consecuencia, se han desarrollado seis teorías que plantean la posibilidad de proporcionar una respuesta más o menos acertada a las preguntas: "¿cuál era el español que se hablaba en la época colonial? ¿qué influencias obtuvo el español americano? ¿cuáles son los rasgos característicos que se asemejan o diferencian el español de América del español peninsular?"
 El lingüista costarricense Miguel Ángel Quesada Pacheco reúne en su obra El español de América (2010) todas las teorías hasta ahora planteadas en las cuales señala la andalucista, una de las más polémicas desarrollada por el filólogo alemán M.L Wagner que tuvo tanto posiciones a su favor como en contra, sus detractores se denominaron "antiandalucistas".

Predicting models

description: Neutron activation analysis is a nondestructive method used to determine elemental composition of samples by exposing them to neutron radiation, which leads to the activation of stable nuclei into radioactive nuclei. During deactivation of irradiated samples, element-signature gamma rays are emitted that are detected using gamma spectroscopy. The main goal of this dissertation is to develop detailed modeling of neutron activation analysis in predicting gamma spectra of various samples using MCNP6 and GEANT4 (version 4.9.6) codes. High precision physics models for neutron transport and ENDF/B-VII evaluated cross-sectional data library are used in both MCNP6 and GEANT4 simulations. These newly developed models are validated based on the experimental data of a National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) certified flyash sample and six samples with varying compositional matrices. These models predict the gamma spectra of activated samples with good agreement to measured gamma spectra. Thus, both codes, MCNP6 and GEANT4, can be used to predict neutron induced gamma emissions in samples of various compositions prior to neutron activation analysis taking place in the laboratory settings. The relative computational error is within 5 - 8%, which falls within the Monte Carlo accepted computational limit of 10%. Another goal of this dissertation is to develop an explorative study of a large sample analysis based on neutron activation and to assess the feasibility of such experiments in research reactors, specifically the TRIGA Mark I type research reactors. The Utah Nuclear Engineering Program houses a 100 kW TRIGA Mark I research reactor with irradiation channels that were not studied for large sample neutron activation analysis.  The newly developed MCNP6/GEANT4 models provide 3D point-wise spatial neutron flux distributions within irradiation channels. These models are adequate in simulating experiments prior to taking place in the laboratory. The neutron flux intensities are adequate for large sample analysis in one of the reactor irradiation channels.
title: Meinungen und Vorstellungen von Stillen und Stillempfehlungen bei Betroffenen
Creators: name: Quirgst, Helga

description: Hintergrund: Stillen ist als wichtiges Instrument in der Primärprävention vieler Krankheiten zu verstehen. Durch die Veränderung der Stillempfehlungen im Laufe der Zeit wird es für Laien erschwert an die aktuellsten Informationen zu gelangen. Es war das Ziel dieser Arbeit herauszufinden, ob die Zielgruppe von den Empfehlungen erreicht wird, wo sich Stillende und Schwangere Informationen beschaffen, wie diese zugänglich sind und welche Maßnahmen zur besseren Wissensvermittlung ergriffen werden könnten. Methoden: Es wurden Experten- und Fokusgruppeninterviews durchgeführt, welche mittels Diktiergerät aufgezeichnet, transkribiert und in einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse modifiziert nach Mayring ausgewertet, wurden. Als Interviewpartner fungierten Experten aus verschiedenen medizinisch relevanten Bereichen. Die Fokusgruppen wurden unterteilt in Schwangere und Stillende. Ergebnisse: Die von Experten im Krankenhaus ausgesprochenen Empfehlungen werden von Betroffenen als widersprüchlich wahrgenommen. Die Wöchnerinnen erhalten Informationen, allerdings fühlen sich die Frauen von differenten Meinungen, wie fixe Stillintervalle ein- oder nicht einhalten verunsichert. Das Bedürfnis der Frauen sich in der ersten Schwangerschaft über Stillen zu informieren ist begrenzt. Dies ändert sich bei der Schwangerschaft des zweiten Kindes, wenn das Stillen nicht optimal funktioniert hat. Die Frauen bereuen es, sich keine Informationen beschafft zu haben, was beim zweiten Kind nachgeholt wird. Maßnahmen zur einheitlicheren Wissensübermittlung sind die Förderung der Ausbildung zur Laktationsberaterin, Forcierung von Stillgruppen, einheitliche Schulung des Fachpersonals und dadurch Bewusstseinsbildung für Stillen als Präventionsmaßnahme. Schlussfolgerung: Die Wichtigkeit und Praktikabilität des Stillens aufzuzeigen, kann zu einer höheren Stillrate führen, welche Krankheitsentstehung vermeidet und das Gesundheitssystem entlastet. Stillförderung ist nicht nur für das einzelne Individuum, sondern für das gesamte Gesundheitssystem von entscheidender Bedeutung.

description: Dry storage casks (DSCs) store spent nuclear fuel (SNF) at sites contiguous to nuclear power plants (NPPs), known as Interim Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSIs). DSCs can be stored in concrete bunkers, or designed as free-standing or anchored structures. The primary focus of this study is to investigate response of free-standing DSCs under seismic excitation. Recent consideration of DSCs as a potential midterm solution may increase the operating period (initially 20 years) up to 300 years and requires response reevaluation. A longer compliance period results in larger accelerations, and larger vertical-to-horizontal spectral acceleration ratios that could have destabilizing effects on the cask response.   The response of free-standing DSCs under seismic excitations is highly nonlinear, especially under concurrent sliding and rocking motion triggered by multidirectional seismic excitations. It depends on parameters such as aspect ratio, coefficient of friction between cask and foundation pad, and ground motion characteristics, among other factors.  This research presents the investigation on the response of free-standing DSCs under long return period seismic events. Dynamic experimental tests were performed on a 6-degree-of-freedom shake table at the University of Nevada, Reno. Ground motions used for the tests were spectrally matched to spectral acceleration for seismic events of 10,000- and 30,000-year return periods. Experimental results were used to validate finite element (FE) models. The validated models were then be used to study casksâ€™ response under full intensity long-term seismic event, tip-over spectrum under sinusoidal excitation and soil structure interaction (SSI). The research also addresses whether the response of DSCs is repeatable under identical ground motions. If the cask response has a relatively large variation (nonrepeatable), the analytical and FE models cannot directly capture this variation. Experimental tests on repeated ground motions showed that the dynamic response is not repeatable, which is the first indicator of chaos or extreme sensitivity to initial conditions. Numerical techniques for chaotic analysis were then implemented, for harmonic excitation, to show that DSCsâ€™ motion is in fact chaotic for certain excitation conditions. This sensitivity was studied in FE models and analytical simulations by varying input parameters by Â±1%. This small change resulted in large variation in the response.

description: Urbanization of the western United States has been associated with large-scale changes in the species composition and distribution of vegetation on the landscape. Among these changes include the afforestation of land within city boundaries with nonnative cultivars subject to markedly different atmospheric conditions compared to their native habitats and the introduction and expansion of nonnative tree species in riparian regions, both within city boundaries proper and in wild land riparian areas throughout the West. This dissertation is concerned with how these changes have impacted the water use and physiological behavior of tree species in these environments and the associated water use consequences of these changes at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Multiple sites within the Salt Lake Valley of northern Utah, USA, were instrumented with thermal dissipation probes for measuring sap flow. In addition, porometry, water potential, and other methods were used to further evaluate plant water relations and also the properties and functional status of xylem vasculature. In cultivated landscapes, I found that wood anatomy (ring- versus diffuse-porous xylem) constrained stomatal responses and associated rates of water loss to atmospheric vapor pressure deficit and that differential sensitivity was linked to vulnerability to xylem cavitation. The scaling of sap flux density data to whole-tree and stand water use in an unmanaged riparian forest and across sites in the Salt Lake City urban forest showed significant variation that was independent of native versus nonnative species status or wood anatomical characteristics. In addition, seasonality differences were observed with respect to the magnitude and timing of water fluxes that were linked to xylem cavitation vulnerability. The results reported here further increase our understanding of the physiology and water use behavior of trees in both urban and natural ecosystems and provide much needed information toward making informed management decisions that impact water resources in urban regions and riparian areas throughout the western US as well as semiarid regions elsewhere.
title: Leben mit oder zwischen zwei Kulturen?

description: In einem Zeitalter der Globalisierung und der immer einfacher werdenden interkulturellen Kommunikation steigt auch die Zahl an sprachlichen Mischehen und somit auch die Zahl der Kinder, welche mit zwei oder mehreren Sprachen groß werden. Zu Beginn habe ich versucht, eine für meine Arbeit gültige Definition des Begriffes Zweisprachigkeit zu finden, welche sich allerdings im Lauf der Arbeit verändert hat. Habe ich anfänglich nur jene Kinder berücksichtigt, welche von Geburt an mit zwei Sprachen aufwachsen, so hat sich nach genauerer Auseinandersetzung mit den Formen zweisprachiger Erziehung herausgestellt, dass es hier zwei Arten zu unterscheiden gilt: den Bilinguisme précoce simultané, bei welchem das Kind jedem Elternteil eine Sprache zuordnet und somit von Geburt an mit beiden Sprachen aufwächst, und den Bilingusime précoce consécutif, bei welchem im Elternhaus eine Sprache gesprochen wird und der Kontakt mit der zweiten Sprache erst im Kindergarten- oder Schulalter stattfindet. Dass diese zwei Methoden im Alltag tatsächlich Anwendung finden, haben schließlich die Ergebnisse der Umfrage gezeigt: Bis auf ein Kind fallen alle Kinder entweder unter das Prinzip des Bilinguisme précoce simultané oder jenes des Bilinguisme précoce consécutif. Ziel meiner Arbeit war es heraus zu finden, ob sich die Kinder nur zu einer der beiden Kulturen, beiden Kulturen oder zu gar keiner Kultur hingezogen fühlen. Hierfür musste zuerst der Begriff der kulturellen Identität definiert werden, welcher das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl eines Menschen zu einer Ge-meinschaft bezeichnet, welche sich durch gemeinsame Bräuche, Gewohn-heiten, Traditionen und oftmals auch durch dieselbe Sprache definiert. Im theoretischen Teil habe ich die verschiedenen möglichen Konstellatio-nen, die sich aus dem Wechselspiel Zweisprachigkeit – Kultur ergeben, erläutert: zwei Sprachen – zwei Kulturen, zwei Sprachen – keine Kulturen und die Situation der «Third Culture Kids». Bei den von mir befragten Kindern zeigten sich schlussendlich nur zwei Konstellationen: zwei Sprachen – zwei Kulturen bei jenen Kindern, welche von Geburt an zweisprachig aufgewachsen sind und zwei Sprachen – eine Kultur bei jenen Kindern, welche mit der zweiten Sprache erst ab dem Kindergartenalter in Kontakt gekommen sind. Die Umfrage hat schlussendlich gezeigt, dass nur jene Kinder, welche die zweite Sprache auch zu Hause sprechen, auch die damit zusammen hängende Kultur richtig verinnerlicht haben, da sie diese im alltäglichen Leben leben.
