description: The aim of this study is the identification of the best type of supportive feedback for stort-term and long-term memory, regarding the learning of Modern Greek vocabulary as a second/foreign language. In addition, the contribution of vocabulary memory strategies in a computer processing environment and the raising of awareness are evaluated. Furthermore, we examine whether there are any differencies from the different cognitive and learning styles. Initially, some of the current theories of foreign language and vocabulary learning are presented, as well as the theoritical model on which the present research is based. Following that, its application is described and its results are analyzed.

description: We constrain the coupling between axionlike particles (ALPs) and photons, measured with the superconducting resonant detection circuit of a cryogenic Penning trap. By searching the noise spectrum of our fixed-frequency resonant circuit for peaks caused by dark matter ALPs converting into photons in the strong magnetic field of the Penning-trap magnet, we are able to constrain the coupling of ALPs with masses around $2.7906-2.7914\,\textrm{neV/c}^2$ to $g_{aγ}< 1 \times 10^{-11}\,\textrm{GeV}^{-1}$. This is more than one order of magnitude lower than the best laboratory haloscope and approximately 5 times lower than the CERN axion solar telescope (CAST), setting limits in a mass and coupling range which is not constrained by astrophysical observations. Our approach can be extended to many other Penning-trap experiments and has the potential to provide broad limits in the low ALP mass range.

An Approach to Programming Based on Concepts

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Programming Languages (cs.PL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper we describe a new approach to programming which generalizes object-oriented programming. It is based on using a new programming construct, called concept, which generalizes classes. Concept is defined as a pair of two classes: one reference class and one object class. Each concept has a parent concept which is specified using inclusion relation generalizing inheritance. We describe several important mechanisms such as reference resolution, context stack, dual methods and life-cycle management, inheritance and polymorphism. This approach to programming is positioned as a new programming paradigm and therefore we formulate its main principles and rules.

description: We generalize a theorem of Bismut-Zhang, which extends the Cheeger-Mueller theorem on Ray-Singer torsion and Reidemeister torsion, to the case where the flat vector bundle over a closed manifold carries a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form. As a consequence, we prove the Burghelea-Haller conjecture which gives an analytic interpretation of the Turaev torsion. It thus also provides an analytic interpretation of (not merely the absolute value of) the Alexander polynomial in knot theory.

Synchronization in WebSmart Multimedia Authoring System
Creators: name: Li, Lan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: While the Web has become the universal choice for on-line information exchange, the Internet is preparing for the next generation of Web document: synchronized multimedia. Compared to a year before, video contents on Web have been tripled. Most of the contents are media-on-demand news and entertainment clips played in Web browsers by plug-ins. However, simple playback of videos does not fully utilize the superiorities of digital video over analog video, and active computer over passive TV. Digitized video has the potential of being synchronized with other desktop applications to create interactive presentations. To realize this possibility, a comprehensive framework is required for multimedia authoring, delivering and presentation. We developed and herein present WebSmart, an authoring system for bringing synchronized multimedia into the Web. The system is comprised of four components: a visual Editor that creates interactive documents by point-and-click, a CaptionMaker that synchronizes closed caption with video/audio, a QuizDesigner that enables two-way interactions between video and surrounding objects, and an Applet that presents the documents in the end users' Web browsers. Synchronization is the core issue at both the authoring and presentation stages of multimedia documents. We developed simple but effective algorithms for different synchronization requirements: coarse-grained HTML flipping and finer-grained closed captioning. Flexibility and efficiency are the major concerns of the WebSmart synchronization models. This thesis will be focused on the synchronization techniques of the WebSmart system.

Sozialethische Reflexionen zur moralischen Bildung
Creators: name: Winkler, Katja
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2015

description: In Gerechtigkeitstheorien sind moralische Kompetenzen häufig Prämissen der Normbegründung (z.B. bei Rawls, Habermas, Nussbaum) und in konkreten pluralistischen demokratischen Gesellschaften scheinen die moralischen Vermögen der Bürgerinnen und Bürger eine Voraussetzung für die Gewähr- leistung gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe und Stabilität zu sein. Moralische Kompetenz ist deshalb ein entscheidendes Bildungsziel, das in gewissem Maße intentional in Bildungsprozessen gefördert werden kann und moralische Bildung ist somit ein zentrales Thema der Bildungsethik. Der Text soll einen Einblick in die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten des Aufbaus moralischer Kompetenzen geben, insbesondere in das komplexe Zusammenspiel von Bildungsprozessen auf der kognitiven und der affektiven Ebene, von moralischem Wissen und moralischer Motivation.

In influential theories of social justice (e.g. Rawls, Habermas, Nussbaum) moral competencies usually form the basis of justification. In pluralistic democratic societies moral skills seem to be requirements of citizents' participation and social stability. For that reason, moral competencies tend to be core aims in educational processes. The essay throws some light on the possibilities and limitations of moral education and the extensive interaction between affectivity and cognition, moral knowledge and moral motivation.

Effect of additives on the structure of SiO2 sol-gel spray coatings

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: 660

description: SiO2 coatings were prepared from alkoxide sols by means of spray coating. Coatings prepared from sols solely containing ethanol as solvent showed heterogeneous structures. This is supposedly due to solvent evaporation during spray coating. When reaching the substrate, the droplets possess too high viscosity to enable them to disperse on the substrate. However, when additives, such as 1.3-butanediol, ethylene glycol or glycerol, with high boiling temperatures were used, smooth coatings exhibiting small surface roughness were obtained. It is shown that best results were obtained when 1.3-butanediol was used. With increasing additive concentration, the surface roughness decreased.

description: The characterization and modeling of polarized foregrounds has become a critical issue in the quest for primordial $B$-modes. A typical method to proceed is to factorize and parametrize the spectral properties of foregrounds and their scale dependence (i.e. assuming that foreground spectra are well described everywhere by their sky average). Since in reality foreground properties vary across the Galaxy, this assumption leads to inaccuracies in the model that manifest themselves as biases in the final cosmological parameters (in this case the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$). This is particularly relevant for surveys over large fractions of the sky, such as the Simons Observatory (SO), where the spectra should be modeled over a distribution of parameter values. Here we propose a method based on the existing ``moment expansion'' approach to address this issue in a power-spectrum-based analysis that is directly applicable in ground-based multi-frequency data. Additionally, the method uses only a small set of parameters with simple physical interpretation, minimizing the impact of foreground uncertainties on the final $B$-mode constraints. We validate the method using SO-like simulated observations, recovering an unbiased estimate of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ with standard deviation $σ(r)\simeq0.003$, compatible with official forecasts. When applying the method to the public BICEP2/Keck data, we find an upper bound $r<0.06$ ($95\%\,{\rm C.L.}$), compatible with the result found by BICEP2/Keck when parametrizing spectral index variations through a scale-independent frequency decorrelation parameter. We also discuss the formal similarities between the power spectrum-based moment expansion and methods used in the analysis of CMB lensing.

description: Project activity in human life plays a developmental role. This is especially important at primary school age, which is one of the most difficult and controversial periods of development in a person's life for analysis. As part of the learning process at this age, the foundations of a person's socialization are laid, the peculiarities of his interaction with others, and the educational base is formed, which will later become the foundation of his educational and work activities. All aspects of development at this age are subject to a qualitative restructuring, new psychological formations arise and form. In this regard, a creative approach to teaching in accordance with psychological characteristics, motivational preferences and tangible performance, which is so important for schoolchildren, is simply necessary

description: At present, there is a deterioration of the ecological situation in the world due to the influence of techno genic factors, many of which have a detrimental effect on the environment. The negative aspects of the problem of human relations with the environment can be resolved only if the quality of the ecological education of the population, its ecological culture and upbringing, and the implementation of the principles of moral and sustainable development are improved. The process of realizing the need to change the life paradigm should take place as soon as possible, until nature has lost the ability to adapt to the consequences of the development of civilization, until natural resources have dried up and irreversible environmental disasters have not occurred. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the environmental education of the younger generation, which will subsequently have a great impact on the scientific knowledge of the environment, which ultimately will affect its improvement and transformation. It is at this age that a person's worldview is laid, his attitude to the world around him. The goal of environmental education in childhood is to develop in preschoolers a cognitive, emotional-moral, practical-active attitude to the environment and to their health based on sensory and emotional knowledge of the natural and social environment of a person

description: The physical health of a person is usually considered as the natural state of the body, which is conditioned by the normal operation of all its systems and organs. Factors such as stress, lack of physical activity, unbalanced diet or bad habits can, as well as other unfavorable conditions, affect not only the social sphere of a person's life, but can also cause the appearance and development of certain diseases of a chronic nature. In order for the prevention of these diseases to be carried out, a person should lead a healthy lifestyle. It is customary to consider physical development as the basis for a healthy lifestyle
Flexible policy construction by information refinement
Creators: name: Horsch, Michael C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Decision making under uncertainty addresses the problem of deciding which actions to take in the world, when there is uncertainty about the state of the world, and uncertainty as to the outcome of these actions. A rational approach to making good choices is the principle of maximum expected utility: the decision maker should act so as to maximize the expected benefits of the possible outcomes. The "textbook" approaches to decision analysis typically make the assumption that the computational costs involved are negligible. This assumption is not always appropriate. When computational costs cannot be ignored, a decision maker must be able to choose a trade-off between computational costs and object value. This thesis proposes an approach to decision making called information refinement. It is an iterative, heuristic process which a decision maker can use to build a policy. We present three algorithms which use information refinement to construct policies for decision problems expressed as influence diagrams. The algorithms are intended for situations in which computational costs are not negligible, and are designed to give the decision maker control of the trade-off involved in the decision making process. The first algorithm is an anytime algorithm for single stage decision problems. It constructs a policy by increasing the use of information available to the decision maker. The second algorithm applies the single stage algorithm to multistage decision problems using a fixed allocation of computational resources. The third algorithm is an anytime algorithm for multi-stage decision problems. We show empirically that these algorithms are able to make decisions with high expected value with small computational costs. We provide empirically evidence for our claims, by applying our algorithms to a large number of large decision problems.
Observational Evidence for Tidal Interaction in Close Binary Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: This paper reviews the rich corpus of observational evidence for tidal effects in short-period binaries. We review the evidence for ellipsoidal variability and for the observational manifestation of apsidal motion in eclipsing binaries. Among the long-term effects, circularization was studied the most, and a transition period between circular and eccentric orbits has been derived for eight coeval samples of binaries. As binaries are supposed to reach synchronization before circularization, one can expect finding eccentric binaries in pseudo-synchronization state, the evidence for which is reviewed. The paper reviews the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and its potential to study spin-orbit alignment. We discuss the tidal interaction in close binaries that are orbited by a third distant companion, and review the effect of pumping the binary eccentricity by the third star. We then discuss the idea that the tidal interaction induced by the eccentricity modulation can shrink the binary separation. The paper discusses the extrasolar planets and the observational evidence for tidal interaction with their parent stars which can induce radial drift of short-period planets and circularization of planetary orbits. The paper reviews the revolution of the study of binaries that is currently taking place, driven by large-scaled photometric surveys that are detecting many thousands of new binaries and tens of extrasolar planets. In particular, we review several studies that have been used already thousands of lightcurves of eclipsing binaries to study tidal circularization of early-type stars in the LMC.

description: Galaxy mergers, the dynamical process during which two galaxies collide, are among the most spectacular phenomena in the Universe. During this process, the two colliding galaxies are tidally disrupted, producing significant visual features that evolve as a function of time. These visual features contain valuable clues for deducing the physical properties of the galaxy mergers. In this work, we propose DeepGalaxy, a visual analysis framework trained to predict the physical properties of galaxy mergers based on their morphology. Based on an encoder-decoder architecture, DeepGalaxy encodes the input images to a compressed latent space $z$, and determines the similarity of images according to the latent-space distance. DeepGalaxy consists of a fully convolutional autoencoder (FCAE) which generates activation maps at its 3D latent-space, and a variational autoencoder (VAE) which compresses the activation maps into a 1D vector, and a classifier that generates labels from the activation maps. The backbone of the FCAE can be fully customized according to the complexity of the images. DeepGalaxy demonstrates excellent scaling performance on parallel machines. On the Endeavour supercomputer, the scaling efficiency exceeds 0.93 when trained on 128 workers, and it maintains above 0.73 when trained with 512 workers. Without having to carry out expensive numerical simulations, DeepGalaxy makes inferences of the physical properties of galaxy mergers directly from images, and thereby achieves a speedup factor of $\sim 10^5$.

Least action principles with applications to gradient flows and kinetic equations

Collective dynamics

description: This thesis introduces a variational formulation for a family of kinetic reaction-diffusion and their connection to Lagrangian dynamical systems. Such a formulation uses a new class of transportation costs between positive measures, and it generalizes the notion of gradient flows. We use this class to build solutions to reaction-diffusion equations with drift subject to general Dirichlet boundary condition via an extension of De Giorgi's interpolation method for the entropy functional. In 2010, Alessio Figalli and Nicola Gigli introduced a transportation cost that can be used to obtain parabolic equations with drift subject to Dirichlet boundary condition. However, the drift and the boundary condition are coupled in their work. The costs we introduce allow the drift and the boundary condition to be decoupled. Additionally, we use this variational formulation to obtain well-posedness, stability, and convergence to equilibrium for the homogeneous Vicsek model and to show the emergence of phase concentration for the Kuramoto Sakaguchi equation subject to a strong coupling force. Provided this coupling force is sufficiently large, we show that there exists a time-dependent interval such that the oscillator's probability density converges to zero uniformly in its complement. The length of this interval is quantified as a function of the coupling force and the diameter of the support of the natural frequency distribution. By doing this, we show that the diameter of the interval can be made arbitrarily small by choosing the force sufficiently large.

description: The sociocultural environment is considered as a set of purposefully created conditions that should ensure the process of development and self-development of a child. On the one hand, this is a space for the development and self-determination of the child, and on the other hand, these are pedagogical influences aimed at the development of the child's personality. In a social context, a developing environment should be understood as a sociocultural space within which personality development takes place. Thus, the sociocultural environment is an environment that provides personalityoriented support for a preschool child.

description: We present an elementary proof concerning reciprocal transmittances and reflectances. The proof is direct, simple, and valid for the diverse objects that can be absorptive and induce diffraction and scattering, as long as the objects respond linearly and locally to electromagnetic waves. The proof enables students who understand the basics of classical electromagnetics to grasp the physical basis of reciprocal optical responses. In addition, we show an example to demonstrate reciprocal response numerically and experimentally.

description: Unfortunately glass is highly transparent for the wavelength of 1.06 µm commonly used by marking systems. Absorption via nonlinear effects can circumvent this problem. There are three conditions for an effective use of nonlinear effects: high repetition rate (500 Hz), TEM00 beam quality (M^2 < 1.5) and high pulse power (>0.5 MW). Microplasma laser sputtering in particular allows marking of glass surfaces without any damage, i.e. without cracks and residual stress. Micromarking with a point distance of about 25 μm is possible. This is the equivalent of a printer resolution of 1000 dpi.

description: We study the 3D Kitaev and Kitaev-Heisenberg models respectively on the hyperhoneycomb and hyperoctagon lattices, both at zero and finite-temperature, in the thermodynamic limit. Our analysis relies on advanced tensor network (TN) simulations based on graph Projected Entangled-Pair States (gPEPS). We map out the TN phase diagrams of the models and characterize their underlying gapped and gapless phases both at zero and finite temperature. In particular, we demonstrate how cooling down the hyperhoneycomb system from high-temperature leads to fractionalization of spins to itinerant Majorana fermions and gauge fields that occurs in two separate temperature regimes, leaving their fingerprint on specific heat as a double-peak feature as well as on other quantities such as the thermal entropy, spin-spin correlations and bond entropy. Using the Majorana representation of the Kitaev model, we further show that the low-temperature thermal transition to the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL) phase is associated with the non-trivial Majorana band topology and the presence of Weyl nodes, which manifests itself via non-vanishing Chern number and finite thermal Hall conductivity. Beyond the pure Kitaev limit, we study the 3D Kitaev-Heisenberg (KH) model on the hyperoctagon lattice and extract the full phase diagram for different Heisenberg couplings. We further explore the thermodynamic properties of the magnetically-ordered regions in the KH model and show that, in contrast to the QSL phase, here the thermal phase transition follows the standard Landau symmetry-breaking theory.

description: We present a reanalysis of nucleon decay in the context of the R-parity violating MSSM, updating bounds on R-parity violating parameters against recent experimental and lattice results. We pay particular attention to the derivation of these constraints and specifically to the hadronic matrix elements, which usually stand as the limiting factor in order to derive reliable bounds, except for these few channels that have been studied on the lattice.

Richtungsstreit in der ökologischen Sackgasse Vollbeschäftigung und Grundeinkommen als richtige Antworten auf falsche Fragen.
Creators: name: Zeeb, Matthias
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2015

description: Matthias Zeeb, Ökonom im Bereich des Entwicklungsdienstes, lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf eine Frage, die in der Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik nur allzuoft übergangen wird: den ökologischen Fussabdruck sozialpolitischer Arrangements. Er erörtert, unter welchen Bedingungen Vollbeschäftigungs- und Grundeinkommenskonzepte überhaupt als global nachhaltig gelten dürfen. Beiden Ansätzen inhärent ist das Vertrauen auf fortdauerndes Wirtschafts- wachstum und technologischen Fortschritt. Dies blendet aus, wie stark der Wirtschaftsprozess von der Verfügbarkeit billiger Energie abhängig ist, und wie sehr die Energieversorgung durch notwendige Klimapolitik und das Erdöl- fördermaximum tatsächlich auf eine Knappheitssituation zusteuert. In einer von hoher Komplexität und Instabilität bestimmten Situation in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, sollte zukunftsweisende Politik die Zielorientierung deshalb von systemischer Produktivität auf gesellschaftliche Resilienz und Gerechtigkeit verschieben. Vollbeschäftigung und Grundeinkommen enthalten Elemente, die dazu beitragen können.

 What could an ecological perspective tell us about the virtues of full-employment or the guaranteed basic income concepts? Both approaches share an inherent trust in continued economic growth and technological progress. This tends to ignore how strongly the economic process is dependent on the availability of abundant energy and to what degree the provision of energy is actually moving towards a situation of scarcity due to the necessary climate policies and peak oil. In a situation determined by increasing complexity and instability, future-oriented policies for the economy and society should therefore move emphasis from systemic productivity towards societal resilience and justice. The full-employment and basic income concepts both include elements that can contribute to such a change.

Local turnpike analysis using local dissipativity for discrete time discounted optimal control

description: Recent results in the literature have provided connections between the so-called turnpike property, near optimality of closed-loop solutions, and strict dissipativity. Motivated by applications in economics, optimal control problems with discounted stage cost are of great interest. In contrast to non-discounted optimal control problems, it is more likely that several asymptotically stable optimal equilibria coexist. Due to the discounting and transition cost from a local to the global equilibrium, it may be more favourable staying in a local equilibrium than moving to the global - cheaper - equilibrium. In the literature, strict dissipativity was shown to provide criteria for global asymptotic stability of optimal equilibria and turnpike behavior. In this paper, we propose a local notion of discounted strict dissipativity and a local turnpike property, both depending on the discount factor. Using these concepts, we investigate the local behaviour of (near-)optimal trajectories and develop conditions on the discount factor to ensure convergence to a local asymptotically stable optimal equilibrium.
Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen – eine protestantische Option?
Creators: name: Meireis, Torsten
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen

description: Das Konzept eines nicht bedarfsgeprüften staatlich gewährten Grundein- kommens wird aus evangelischer sozialethischer Sicht einer kritischen Bewertung unterzogen. Dabei ergibt sich, dass ein solches Transfereinkommen weder ein Rezept zur Lösung aller wirtschafts-, sozial- und arbeitsmarkt- politischen Probleme noch eine Alternative zur Arbeitsgesellschaft darstellt. Vielmehr ist es ein vergleichsweise neues sozialpolitisches Instrument, das in sehr unterschiedlicher Weise verstanden und implementiert werden kann und dessen Gestaltung darüber entscheidet, welchen Zielen es dient und welche neuen Probleme es erzeugt. Aus protestantischer Sicht verdient nur eine solche Konzeption des Grundeinkommens Zustimmung, die am Ziel demokratischer Partizipation orientiert ist und einen Beitrag zu einem selbstbestimmten guten Leben leistet. Dies ist dann gegeben, wenn ein Einkommen über dem sozio- kulturellen Existenzminimum gewährleistet wird, das durch bedarfsgeprüfte solidarischen Hilfen ergänzungsfähig ist, nicht gegen Fördermaßnahmen zur Inklusion in den Erwerbskontext ausgespielt wird und durch intensive Be-mühungen um Beteiligungs und Befähigungsgerechtigkeit im Bildungskontext flankiert wird.

 In this paper, basic income schemes are evaluated from a protestant ethical perspective. The author maintains, that a basic income can not be seen as magic potion ending all economic and social struggle or as a way of opting out of labour society. Rather, it should be understood as a relatively recent instrument of welfare, that may be implemented quite differently, thus serving even opposite political ends. In a protestant view, only basic income schemes aiming at democratic participation and strengthening capabilities for the pursuit of a good life may be supported.
