description: This thesis summarizes a study of the effects of electromigration on nanoscale metallic structures.  We have studied the impact of electromigration on two types of nanoscale systems, and as such the thesis naturally divides into two portions. In the first portion, consisting of Chapters 2-4, we investigate the effects of electromigration on fluctuating step edges.  When there is no electromigration present, a step undergoing motion by atoms diffusing along its edge demonstrates power-law scaling in temporal correlation functions.  This is verified by approximating the step as a continuum and using Langevin analysis, and the Langevin analysis is extended to include electromigration forces.  Under electromigration conditions, specifically for electromigration forces directed into or out-of the step, we find theoretical deviations from the power-law scaling in the correlation function.  We demonstrate this in two ways: through Monte Carlo simulation of step edges under electromigration conditions and through experimental measurements of current-stressed steps at the surface of Silver films.  We found good phenomenological agreement with the theoretical expectations in both simulation and experiment, as well as good quantitative agreement in the results of the simulations. The second portion of the thesis, consisting of Chapters 5 and 6, detail an investigation of the effects of electromigration on the Rayleigh-Plateau instability in solid nanowires.  We begin by deriving an equation of motion for a continuous cylinder and including an electromigration force along the symmetry axis of the cylinder.  This is equivalent to a model of a nanowire carrying current, where the electromigration force is modeled as a constant.  We find power-law scaling in the pinching process, though the effects of electromigration are to extend the life of the nanowire by prolonging the pinch-off.  This is confirmed by conducting kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of Aluminum nanowires under electromigration conditions.  We find good agreement with the continuum model for the exponent in the power-law scaling as well as the effect of electromigration on the time at which pinching occurs.  We find evidence of self-similar behavior in the continuum model as well as in the simulations.

description: Device to Device (D2D) Communication is expected to be a core part of the forthcoming 5G Mobile Communication Networks as it promises improvements in energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, overall system capacity, and higher data rates with the use of the same frequencies for different D2D transmissions in short communication distances within the Cell. However, in order to achieve optimum results, it is important, among others, to select wisely the Transmission Mode of the D2D Device. Towards this end, our previous work proposed an intelligent Transmission mode selection approach in a framework that is utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) BDIx agents to collectively satisfy the D2D challenges in a Distributed Artificial Intelligent (DAI) manner autonomously and independently. In this paper, as a first step, a literature review focused on related Transmission mode approaches, is performed. Then, our investigated Transmission mode selection approach is further explained with formulas and evaluated based on different threshold values and investigated how these can affect the overall spectral efficiency and power usage of the network in order to achieve the maximum performance. The investigated thresholds(i.e. D2D Device Weighted Data Rate (WDR) and the D2D Device Battery Power Level) and metrics(i.e. WDR) are also further analyzed and formulated. In addition, the effect the transmission power of the D2D links has on the total spectral efficiency and total power consumption of the network, is also examined. This evaluation results arise some interesting findings that can contribute in other approaches that utilized similar or same thresholds. Also, the results obtained demonstrate that with the right tuning of the thresholds and transmission power, one can achieve a significant improvement in the network power usage and total spectral efficiency.

eStandards – Enabler der digitalen Transformation von Geschäftsmodellen

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Relevanz von eStandards für die digitale Transformation von Geschäftsmodellen. eStandards sind elektronische Standards zur Vereinheitlichung von Datenaustauschformaten, die Medienbrüche‎ innerhalb der Wertschöpfungskette verringern. Beispiele für eStandards sind Standards wie eCl@ss, der Produkte und Dienstleistungen branchenübergreifend eindeutig beschreibt und klassifiziert oder ZUGFeRD, ein übergreifendes Format für elektronische Rechnungen, das für den Rechnungsaustausch zwischen Unternehmen, Behörden und Verbrauchern genutzt werden kann und den Austausch strukturierter Daten zwischen Rechnungssteller und Rechnungsempfänger ermöglicht (eCl@ss, 2018, FeRD, 2018). Zu den eStandards gehören auch solche Standards, welche die Kommunikation zwischen Maschinen im Rahmen von Industrie 4.0 ermöglichen.


Für diesen Beitrag haben wir 20 eStandards-Projekte analysiert, die im Rahmen des Förderschwerpunkts „Mittelstand-Digital“ durch das Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) gefördert wurden. Insbesondere gehen wir auf die Chancen und Hemmnisse bei der Implementierung von eStandards ein. Unsere Analyse verdeutlicht, dass eStandards primär operative Geschäftsprozesse unterstützen. Sie tragen eher dazu bei, Geschäftsmodelle inkrementell zu verändern. Die Verknüpfung von eStandards mit dem digitalen Reifegrad, d.h. mit dem Fortschritt der digitalen Transformation eines Unternehmens und somit dem digitalen Wettbewerbsvorteil (Gassman und Sutter, 2016), zeigt, dass bestimmte eStandards nur bei niedrigen digitalen Reifegraden geeignet sind, um die ersten Schritte in Richtung Digitalisierung zu ermöglichen, während andere eStandards in fortschrittlichen Stadien der Digitalisierung Anwendung finden.


Somit unterstützen eStandards die Digitalisierung von bestehenden Geschäftsmodellen, aber sie führen nicht zwangsläufig zu komplett digitalen Geschäftsmodellen. Unternehmen mit hohen Reifegraden sind allerdings diejenigen, die eher in der Lage sind neue digitale Geschäftsmodelle und Dienstleistungen zu entwickeln und zu implementieren.

description: Fluorescence measurements are used in life sciences to provide important information about biomolecules (fluorophores) such as structure and conformational changes by detecting the target molecules on surfaces. Currently, fluorescence measurements are performed using free-space (FS) detection, which are mostly isotropic, resulting in detection of approximately 1% of the total emission.  The emission process may be limited by the background fluorescence due to its isotropic nature and, photochemical destruction of the fluorophores. Surface Plasmon-Coupled Emission (SPCE) is a fluorescence technique that has been recently introduced that increases the fluorescence yield.  SPCE is based on the interaction of excited-state fluorophores with a nearby metal surface.  The fluorophores above the metal surface can couple with the plasmon resonances in the metal, resulting in directional and wavelength-resolved emission.  The coupled emission is characterized by a dependence of the emission wavelength on the emission angle.  In addition, the emission is horizontally (p) polarized.  An advantage of the SPCE over FS signal is the reduction of the background fluorescence signal, since only fluorophores close to the metal surface will couple to the surface plasmons. Picosecond pulses were used to study the SPCE properties of Rhodamine 6G fluorophore on a thin silver film.  It is expected that using pulsed laser sources can greatly enhance the SPCE signal over the FS signal.  The SPCE signal is 3 times higher that the isotropic FS signal.  Thus, SPCE technique under pulsed excitation promises to be an effective tool for fluorescence measurements in investigating the optical properties of biomolecules.

description: Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) rose to prominence as a wide-scale implementation of blockchain technology to support the emergence of crypto-asset markets. These nascent digital markets raise questions about the behaviours of investors in the digital economy and their appetite for risk. Using 28,919 auction listings, 4937 sales, and 30,197 Telegram messages, we conduct a field study on the bidding and selling behaviours of NFT investors in a Dutch auction system. We reveal risk-seeking behaviours in our sample of Dutch auction sales. We document that time pressures and value propositions significantly influence NFT investors: fast clock speeds and greater price separations induce underbidding behaviours and are associated with low value retention for sellers. These results are confirmed using a matched-pairs analysis. Our study raises further questions on the risk preferences of investors in emergent digital marketplaces. We propose value maximisation strategies for marketplace developers and participants, while drawing attention to the presence of potentially exploitable biases and heuristics amongst participants, courtesy of bidding incentivisation schemes significantly altering how investors value NFTs.

Investigating the use of compliance for fault detection in hydraulic machines
Creators: name: Pirouz, Zarin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The problem of measuring the compliance of a hydraulic system using flow and pressure measurements was studied to determine if this method could be used to detect faults in mobile heavy-duty hydraulic machines. As a start, previous research that used Genetic Algorithms (GA) for compliance identification in a hydraulic machine and GA principles were studied in detail to determine if using the GA is necessary for compliance identification. Some discrepancies and misconceptions in the previous research were discovered. To eliminate the misconceptions, many elements contributing to the compliance of the machine and obstacles to using pressure and flow measurements in compliance calculation were studied. It was shown that many inter-related elements have to be modeled to be able to interpret the compliance value obtained from pressure and flow measurements in hydraulic machines. Some models believed to be most suitable for fault detection were developed. It was shown that despite the complexity of the elements, as far as fault detection is concerned, the system can be modeled in such a way that in most cases it is linear in the parameters which allows the use of simple identification methods. Experiments were performed on a hydraulic test-bed to examine the suitability of the proposed models. A few unexpected obstacles in using flow and pressure measurement to measure compliance for fault detection were encountered. It was discovered that even small amounts of leak that can be present during normal machine operation may cause enough distortion in flow measurement to overshadow the compliance value. It was also discovered that using flow and pressure measurements in compliance measurement is only possible if very accurate measurements are available. A few practical and simple methods were proposed to cope with these problems and extract useful information from these measurements for fault detection.

description: We will outline the interaction between two third-party software applications for streamlined collection management and user access to Special Collections materials. Combining the accession, donor and patron management, description, and online user interface capabilities of PastPerfect with the more sophisticated digital asset management system of CONTENTdm, we have centralized access to our diverse collections. Special Collections, Reference, Collection Management, and Administration Departments have collaborated to make PastPerfect our single access point for over twenty separately maintained Library created databases that are not included in the University System consortium’s catalog. Standardized metadata creation for accession and descriptive records in both PastPerfect and CONTENTdm facilitates interoperability between the two systems. If digital objects are available, we can extract the metadata from PastPerfect using a Dublin Core crosswalk; conversely, our digitization workflow allows for item level metadata from CONTENTdm to be imported into PastPerfect. This ensures that PastPerfect is a one-stop shop for discovery of Special Collections’ analog and digital materials. Researchers now search one interface and retrieve results from our varied collections – including finding aids, photographs, fanzines, and university publications - with a link to the digital object in CONTENTdm if one exists. Due to our lack of programming staff it was essential to select out of the box software that offered customization and a high level of support, as opposed to building a program in-house or utilizing open source software. We feel that this is a unique and valuable workflow that has not been implemented by other institutions in similar circumstances.

Secularism versus Islamism in Turkey

description: Based on the headscarf conflict in Turkey, this thesis tries to determine whether the current governing party, the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi--AKP), as argued by the Turkish secularists, is an Islamist party following a hidden Islamic agenda or has become moderate with time. The secularists' fear of an AKP Islamic agenda not only has roots in the fact that since the establishment of the secular Turkish Republic in 1923, Abdullah Gl is the first politician with an Islamist background to become the president of Turkey but also that Gl's wife, Hayrnisa Gl, is wearing the headscarf. Secularists interpret this  as meaning that Gl would change Turkey's constitutional laws to make Turkey become an Islamic country. However, this thesis asserts that the present AKP, when compared to its first years of governing, seems to pursue its agenda in a more pragmatic manner due to dynamic factors.

description: Der fortschreitende demografische Wandel, verbunden mit einer Überalterung der Gesellschaft, führt in naher Zukunft dazu, dass die Kapazitäten für stationäre Pflegeplätze nicht ausreichen werden. Pflegeprozesse werden zunehmend in der Häuslichkeit stattfinden. Es ist von essentieller Bedeutung, dass Personen in jeder Lebenslage (aktive Senioren, Menschen mit Unterstützungsbedarf, Pflegebedürftigkeit oder Behinderungen sowie Familien, Singles und Paare) weitestgehend selbstbestimmt in ihrer vertrauten Wohnumgebung leben können. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, ist es notwendig, dass professionellen und paraprofessionellen Akteuren die Möglichkeiten des barrierearmen und assistierten Wohnens aufgezeigt werden. Dazu soll eine interaktive, multimodale Erlebniswelt mit einem entsprechenden Planungs- und Ausstattungskonzept geschaffen werden. Die einzelnen Bedarfe der professionellen Akteure (z. B. Pflegekräfte, Handwerk, Wohnungswirtschaft), die dabei unterstützen, konnten innerhalb des Projektes Chemnitz+ erhoben werden. Durch die Wissensvermittlung der relevanten Themen über mehrere Sinneskanäle besteht der Ansatz darin, die vorhandenen Kompetenzen der Akteure zu erweitern und somit die berufliche Handlungskompetenz zu stärken. Den Teilnehmenden und Besuchern des Test- und Demonstrationszentrums WohnXperium werden durch verschiedene interaktive und multimodale Zugänge (Sinnestunnel, Testflächen, AAL) die Methoden und Konzepte zum barrierearmen Bauen und Wohnen näher gebracht.

description: This ethnographic study analyzes how three Mexican communities are responding to the challenges of globalization, the worldwide integration of economic, political, cultural, religious, and social systems, by creating economic, political, and social cooperatives as a means to improve their specific living situations. These cooperatives emerge as anti-systemic movements, whose purpose is to resist and change the current global system. However, these communities also adapt to certain aspects of globalization as a means to maintain and sustain their cooperatives by drawing on the interconnectedness of systems of communication. I argue that these cooperatives are emerging as effective alternatives to the modern world system in these communities, by giving their members access to the benefits of the system that they had previously been denied.

We benchmark the wavefunction in the infinite-$U$ Hubbard-Holstein model away from half-filling on a Bethe lattice, where we can directly compare with exact results by Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. For this model, we find that variational results agree perfectly well with the exact ones. In particular the wavefunction correctly describes the crossover to a heavy polaron gas upon increasing the electron-phonon coupling.

The energy of our model is parametrized using the known asymptotic behavior in the BCS, Bose, and the unitarity limits and is in excellent agreement with accurate Green function Monte Carlo calculations. The model generates good results for frequencies of collective breathing oscillation of a trapped Fermi superfluid.

description: The direct imaging of extrasolar giant planets demands the highest possible contrasts (dH ~10 magnitudes) at the smallest angular separations (~0.1'') from the star. We present an adaptive optics observing method, called star-hopping, recently offered as standard queue observing for the SPHERE instrument at the VLT. The method uses reference difference imaging (RDI) but unlike earlier works, obtains images of a reference star for PSF subtraction, within minutes of observing the target star. We aim to significantly gain in contrast over the conventional angular differencing imaging (ADI) method, to search for a fifth planet at separations less than 10 au, interior to the four giant planets of the HR 8799 system. We obtained a total of 4.5 hours of simultaneous integral field spectroscopy (R~30, Y-H band with IFS) and dual-band imaging (K1 and K2-band with IRDIS) of the HR 8799 system and a reference star. The reference star was observed for ~1/3 of the total time, and should have dR~1 mag and separated on sky by ~1-2 deg. The star hops were made every 6-10 minutes, with only 1 minute gaps in on-sky integration per hop. We did not detect the hypothetical fifth planet at the most plausible separations, 7.5 and 9.7 au, down to mass limits of 3.6 MJup high signal-to-noise ratios. As noted in previous works, the planet spectra are matched very closely by some red field dwarfs. We also demonstrated that with star-hopping RDI, the contrast improvement at 0.1'' separation can be up to 2 magnitudes. Since ADI, meridian transit and the concomitant sky rotation are not needed, the time of observation can be chosen from within a 2-3 times larger window. In general, star-hopping can be used for stars fainter than R=4 magnitudes, since for these a reference star of suitable brightness and separation is usually available. The reduction software used in this paper has been made available online.

An Investigation of Raman Lidar Aerosol Measurements and their Application to the study of the Aerosol Indirect Effect

description: The problem of the increasing global atmospheric temperature has motivated a large interest in studying the mechanisms that can influence the radiative balance of the planet. Aerosols are responsible for several radiative effects in the atmosphere: an increase of aerosol loading in the atmosphere increases the reflectivity of the atmosphere and has an estimated cooling effect and is called the aerosol direct effect. Another process involving aerosols is the effect that an increase in their concentration in the atmosphere has on the formation of clouds and is called the aerosol indirect effect. In the latest IPCC report, the aerosol indirect effect was estimated to be responsible for a radiative forcing ranging between -0.3 W/m2 to -1.8 W/m2, which can be as large as, but opposite in sign to, the radiative forcing due to greenhouse gases. The main goal of this dissertation is to study the Raman lidar measurements of quantities relevant for the investigation of the aerosol indirect effect and ultimately to apply these measurements to a quantification of the aerosol indirect effect. In particular we explore measurements of the aerosol extinction from both the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Scanning Raman Lidar (SRL) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) ARM Climate Research Facility Raman Lidar (CARL). An algorithm based on the chi-squared technique to calculate the aerosol extinction, which was introduced first by Whiteman (1999), is here validated using both simulated and experimental data. It has been found as part of this validation that the aerosol extinction uncertainty retrieved with this technique is on average smaller that the uncertainty calculated with the technique traditionally used. This algorithm was then used to assess the performance of the CARL aerosol extinction retrieval for low altitudes. Additionally, since CARL has been upgraded with a channel for measuring Raman liquid water scattering, measurements of cloud liquid water content, droplet radius and droplet number density using this new capability have been studied. Some discrepancies are found between the CARL and AERI measurements of liquid water path and droplet effective radius and they need to be studied in more detail when a larger dataset is available. To study the correlation between aerosol presence and cloud microphysics the calculations of IE, introduced by Feingold as a parameterization of the aerosol indirect effect, has been performed here for the first time using exclusively Raman lidar data. The work shown here is an indication that the combined measurements of aerosol extinction, cloud liquid water content, droplet radius and droplet number density with a Raman lidar represents an interesting new technique for the study of the aerosol indirect effect.

description: This project is a study of the speech of African American students within the High School classroom and their verbal communication before, during, and after class.  The overall goal is to observe and study their varying use of Standard American English (SAE) and African American Vernacular English (AAVE) with a focus on the code-switching practices among these students.  Through the analysis of salient parts of classroom communication, an examination of African American speech dynamics when African American students use both varieties (SAE and AAVE) is performed, extrapolating to which factors influence the use of each variety.  Using the tenets of bi-dialectalism and code-switching as they exist in a speech community, this research aims to draw conclusions on the culture of this phenomenon.  An inner city secondary school in Baltimore, Maryland, is used as the research site for this study.
The Structure of the Homunculus: I. Shape and Latitude Dependence from H2 and [Fe II] Velocity Maps of Eta Carinae

description: High resolution long-slit spectra obtained with the Phoenix spectrograph on Gemini South provide our most accurate probe of the three dimensional structure of the Homunculus around eta Car. The new near-infrared spectra dramatically confirm the double-shell structure inferred previously from thermal dust emission, resolving the nebula into a very thin outer shell seen in H2 21218, and a warmer, thicker inner layer seen in [Fe II] 16435. The thin H2 skin hints that the most important mass loss during the 19th century eruption had a very short duration of less than 5 yr. H2 emission traces the majority of the mass in the nebula, and has an average density of order 10^6.5 cm-3. This emission, in turn, yields our first definitive picture of the exact shape of the nebula, plus a distance of 2350pm50 pc and an inclination angle of 41deg (the polar axis is tilted 49deg from the plane of the sky). The distribution of the H2 emission provides the first measure of the latitude dependence of the speed, mass loss, and kinetic energy associated with eta Car's 19th century explosion. Almost 75 percent of the total mass and more than 90 percent of the kinetic energy in the ejecta were released at high latitudes. This rules out a model for the bipolar shape wherein an otherwise spherical explosion was pinched at the waist by a circumstellar torus. Also, the ejecta could not have been deflected toward polar trajectories by a companion star, since the kinetic energy of the polar ejecta is greater than the binding energy of the putative binary system. Instead, most of the mass appears to have been directed poleward by the explosion itself. [abridged]

description: Molecular-orbital-based machine learning (MOB-ML) provides a general framework for the prediction of accurate correlation energies at the cost of obtaining molecular orbitals. We demonstrate the importance of preserving physical constraints, including invariance conditions and size consistency, when generating the input for the machine learning model. Numerical improvements are demonstrated for different data sets covering total and relative energies for thermally accessible organic and transition-metal containing molecules, non-covalent interactions, and transition-state energies. MOB-ML requires training data from only 1% of the QM7b-T data set (i.e., only 70 organic molecules with seven and fewer heavy atoms) to predict the total energy of the remaining 99% of this data set with sub-kcal/mol accuracy. This MOB-ML model is significantly more accurate than other methods when transferred to a data set comprised of thirteen heavy atom molecules, exhibiting no loss of accuracy on a size intensive (i.e., per-electron) basis. It is shown that MOB-ML also works well for extrapolating to transition-state structures, predicting the barrier region for malonaldehyde intramolecular proton-transfer to within 0.35 kcal/mol when only trained on reactant/product-like structures. Finally, the use of the Gaussian process variance enables an active learning strategy for extending MOB-ML model to new regions of chemical space with minimal effort. We demonstrate this active learning strategy by extending a QM7b-T model to describe non-covalent interactions in the protein backbone-backbone interaction data set to an accuracy of 0.28 kcal/mol.
The Human Innate Nature Based Medical Expert System for Self-diagnosis

description: This article considers the some results of the diagnostic text in the medical expert system, which based on integration of the “european” and “eastern” medicines. One of the proposed work directions is the study of the patient's questionnaire informative value, where the questions of a prototype with binary answers "YES-NO" are performed as corpuscular diagnostic testing (СTD). Then, in determining the real disease (diseases), there arises an actual task of selecting the most preferred CDT at each step of the diagnostic processes. CDT is an indivisible diagnostic procedure, which estimates one or more indicators of the condition of the body. In addition, using by real determination of human inborn innate nature gives opportunity to understand internal causes of chronic diseases. Also, for selection more probabilistic diseases have been applied the Bayesian approach and the conditional entropy.
