description: In the first part of this article we obtain an identity relating the radial spectrum of rotationally invariant geodesic balls and an isoperimetric quotient $\sum 1/λ_{i}^{\rm rad}=\int V(s)/S(s)ds$. We also obtain upper and lower estimates for the series $\sum λ_{i}^{-2}(Ω)$ where $Ω$ is an extrinsic ball of a proper minimal surface of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. In the second part we show that the first eigenvalue of bounded domains is given by iteration of the Green operator and taking the limit, $λ_{1}(Ω)=\lim_{k\to \infty} \Vert G^k(f)\Vert_{2}/\Vert G^{k+1}(f)\Vert_{2}$ for any function $f>0$. In the third part we obtain explicitly the $L^{1}(Ω, μ)$-momentum spectrum of a bounded domain $Ω$ in terms of its Green operator. In particular, we obtain the first eigenvalue of a weighted bounded domain in terms of the $L^{1}(Ω, μ)$-momentum spectrum, extending the work of Hurtado-Markvorsen-Palmer on the first eigenvalue of rotationally invariant balls.

description: Ausgehend vom Konzept der historiographischen und geschichtspolitischen Kanonisierung fragt der Beitrag nach dem konflikthaften Verhältnis zwischen europäischer und Nationalgeschichte am Beispiel Spaniens. Der Kanon einer allumfassenden Universalgeschichte drückt das hegemoniale Projekt bestimmter Gesellschaften gegenüber der Vielfalt der Kulturen aus; und in vergleichbarer Weise versuchte der nationalgeschichtliche Kanon seine Deutungen verbindlich zu machen. Im Falle des spanisch-kastilischen Kanons kollidieren diese Bemühungen jedoch mit dem in Europa dominanten universalgeschichtlichen Kanon, der sich auf das Zeitalter der Aufklärung zurückführt. Daraus ergibt sich eine besondere Chance für die Wiederbelebung eines regionalgeschichtlichen Kanons, etwa in Katalonien, der die Europäisierung des Geschichtsbildes gegen den Einheitsdruck der Nationalgeschichte wendet.

description: Quantum entanglement is the ability of joint quantum systems to possess global properties (correlation among systems) even when subsystems have no definite individual property. Whilst the 2-dimensional (qubit) case is well-understood, currently, tools to characterise entanglement in high dimensions are limited. We experimentally demonstrate a new procedure for entanglement certification that is suitable for large systems, based entirely on information-theoretics. It scales more efficiently than Bell's inequality, and entanglement witness. The method we developed works for arbitrarily large system dimension $d$ and employs only two local measurements of complementary properties. This procedure can also certify whether the system is maximally entangled. We illustrate the protocol for families of bipartite states of qudits with dimension up to $32$ composed of polarisation-entangled photon pairs.

description: Modeling folding surfaces with nonzero thickness is of practical interest for mechanical engineering. There are many existing approaches that account for material thickness in folding applications. We propose a new systematic and broadly applicable algorithm to transform certain flat-foldable crease patterns into new crease patterns with similar folded structure but with a facet-separated folded state. We provide conditions on input crease patterns for the algorithm to produce a thickened crease pattern avoiding local self intersection, and provide bounds for the maximum thickness that the algorithm can produce for a given input. We demonstrate these results in parameterized numerical simulations and physical models.
Regionalismus und historische Identität –

Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2008

description: Since the Asian financial crisis of 1997 initiatives of regional cooperation and integration have proliferated in Asia. However, these initiatives are usually based on government agreements and business networks only. They are rarely substantiated by what scholars of regionalism call a “cognitive” or “imagined” region. This article explores contemporary transnational dialogues of (mainly Northeast) Asian intellectuals on the history of Asia as an important dimension of a “cognitive” region. Three forms of dialogue are discussed and compared: textbook dialogue, academic dialogue and the dialogue of critical intellectuals on the nature of Asian modernity. The analysis shows that the persistence of nationalist perspectives is a major obstacle to constructing a shared view of Asian history. The transcendence of nationalist points of view, on the other hand, requires a level of reflexivity and epistemological awareness that also reveals the constructed nature of any definition of “Asia”. Asia as a category remains contested and unstable.

Copyright and the Player

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: This paper explores the ontological construction of the player in copyright law. The player has a central role in interactive entertainment; their presence is both invited, and necessary – one must play a game to experience it. Yet, play is transformed into an engagement with copyright law through the many underlying copyrights of the primary game creators. The player is now a user of a proprietary work. This is assumed self-evident, by design, but the user is both recreational and re-creational. Does the player make decisions in a game which are original creative expressions, or are they merely following the rules of a system to its logical conclusion (playing a game)? The paper reviews existing copyright doctrine which construct the player as either an author (or performer) or a user. It focusses on the value playing a game itself, rather than any ancillary or spin-off game products. The paper forwards a normative argument which emphasises understanding play as existing outwith this reductive production consumption binary: rather, we should try to understand play, and by extension the player, on their own terms. Those terms may exist outwith the boundaries of copyright. Debate has undercurrents of a strive towards legitimation – the award of a proprietary right or the endorsement by the law of the excepted activities. Play is not necessarily either of these things – but we should also resist the argument that everything worthwhile is productive.

description: Transfer learning is a recent field of machine learning research that aims to resolve the challenge of dealing with insufficient training data in the domain of interest. This is a particular issue with traditional deep neural networks where a large amount of training data is needed. Recently, StochasticNets was proposed to take advantage of sparse connectivity in order to decrease the number of parameters that needs to be learned, which in turn may relax training data size requirements. In this paper, we study the efficacy of transfer learning on StochasticNet frameworks. Experimental results show ~7% improvement on StochasticNet performance when the transfer learning is applied in training step.

description: Asianism and International Law: Japan’s Easy Transition from the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere to the United Nations, 1944–56 Japan’s defeat in the Asian-Pacific-War (1937–45) is often seen as one of the great watersheds in global history. For Japan, it separates modern history from the present. However, there also existed conspicuous continuities, one of which was the seemingly easy transition from support of the wartime concept of a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity sphere to the post-war international order centering on the United Nations. In international law, the transition was accomplished through the re-appropriation of legal concepts and political sentiments associated with the “Großraum”-concept of the Co-Prosperity Sphere and their transference to the new global peace order. This paper argues that the transference was made possible through an intrinsically integrative spirit, i.e. Asianism and internationalism, respectively, as the common link between the two seemingly contradictory concepts of international order.

description: It is assumed that in a measurement the system under study interacts with a macroscopic measuring apparatus, in such a way that the density matrix of the measured system evolves according to the Lindblad equation. Under an assumption of non-decreasing von Neumann entropy, conditions on the operators appearing in this equation are given that are necessary and sufficient for the late-time limit of the density matrix to take the form appropriate for a measurement. Where these conditions are satisfied, the Lindblad equation can be solved explicitly. The probabilities appearing in the late-time limit of this general solution are found to agree with the Born rule, and are independent of the details of the operators in the Lindblad equation.

description: Advent of nematic liquid crystals flows have attracted renewed attention in view of microfluidic transport phenomena. Among various transport processes, electroosmosis stands as one of the efficient flow actuation method through narrow confinement. In the present study, we explore the electrically actuated flow of a nematic fluid with ionic inclusions taking into account the influences from surface induced elastic and electrical double layer phenomena. Influence of surface effects on the flow characteristics is known to get augmented in micro-confined environment and must be properly addressed. Towards this, we devise the coupled flow governing equations from fundamental free energy analysis considering the contributions from first and second-order elastic, dielectric, flexoelectric, ionic and entropic energies. We have further considered weak anchoring surface conditions with second order elasticity which helps us to more accurately capture the director deformations along the boundaries. The present study focuses on the influence of surface charge and elasticity effects in the resulting linear electroosmosis through a slit-type microchannel whose surface are considered to be chemically treated in order to display a homeotropic-type weak anchoring state. An optical periodic stripe configuration of the nematic director has been observed especially for higher electric fields wherein the Ericksen number for the dynamic study is restricted to the order of unity.

description: The shell corrections and shell gaps in nuclei are systematically studied with the latest Weizsäcker-Skyrme (WS4) mass model. We find that most of asymmetric nuclei with (sub)-shell closures locate along the shell stability line (SSL), $N=1.37Z+13.5$, which might be due to a strong correlation between neutrons and protons near Fermi surface. The double magicity of nuclei $^{46}$Si and $^{78}$Ni is predicted according to the corresponding shell gaps, shell corrections and nuclear deformations. The unmeasured super-heavy nuclei $^{296}$118 and $^{298}$120, with relatively large shell gaps and shell corrections, also locate along the SSL, whereas the traditional magic nucleus $^{298}$Fl evidently deviates from the line. The $α$-decay energies of super-heavy nuclei with $Z=113-126$ are simultaneously investigated by using the WS4 model together with the radial basis function corrections. For super-heavy nuclei with large shell corrections, the smallest $α$-decay energy for elements $Z=116$, 117 and 118 in their isotope chains locates at $N=178$ rather than $184$.

description: Scalar wave scattering by many small particles of arbitrary shapes with impedance boundary condition is studied. The problem is solved asymptotically and numerically under the assumptions a << d << lambda, where k = 2pi/lambda is the wave number, lambda is the wave length, a is the characteristic size of the particles, and d is the smallest distance between neighboring particles. A fast algorithm for solving this wave scattering problem by billions of particles is presented. The algorithm comprises the derivation of the (ORI) linear system and makes use of Conjugate Orthogonal Conjugate Gradient method and Fast Fourier Transform. Numerical solutions of the scalar wave scattering problem with 1, 4, 7, and 10 billions of small impedance particles are achieved for the first time. In these numerical examples, the problem of creating a material with negative refraction coefficient is also described and a recipe for creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient is tested.

description: We present the phase diagram of magnetic states for films of isotropic chiral magnets calculated as function of applied magnetic field and thickness of the film. We have found a novel magnetic state driven by the natural confinement of the crystal, localized at the surface and stacked on top of the conical bulk phase. This magnetic surface state has a three-dimensional (3D) chiral spin-texture described by the superposition of helical and cycloidal spin spirals. This surface state exists for a large range of applied magnetic fields and for any film thickness beyond a critical one. We also identified the whole thickness and field range for which the skyrmion lattice becomes the ground state of the system. Below a certain critical thickness the surface state and bulk conical phase are suppressed in favor of the skyrmion lattice. Unraveling of those phases and the construction of the phase diagram became possible using advanced computational techniques for direct energy minimization applied to a basic 3D model for chiral magnets. Presented results provide a comprehensive theoretical description for those effects already observed in experiments on thin films of chiral magnets, predict new effects important for applications and open perspectives for experimental studies of such systems.

Factors that predict readability in school psychologists’ assessment reports

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Literature review across decades indicates that parents, teachers, and other stakeholders have difficulty understanding school psychologists’ reports and utilizing information from the report to benefit the students. While recent research indicates that stakeholders are more satisfied with reports that contain higher readability, there are no quantitative studies that determine predictors of evaluation report readability. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether variables including burnout, computer self-efficacy, and caseload were significant predictors of evaluation report readability. Forty-five school psychologists provided information about predictor variables via online surveys and provided evaluation report readability either through using Datayze.com’s Readability Analyzer App themselves or by providing a de-identified sample for the study author to analyze through the same app. Data analysis included Pearson correlation and multiple regression. Results of the study indicate that higher burnout was correlated with a higher caseload and higher average hours spent per report. In addition, higher computer self-efficacy was correlated with higher Flesch Reading Ease in reports. The study’s limitations including sample size and selection bias are discussed in subsequent sections and support the need for future studies.

description: The HST Frontier Fields cluster MACS J1149.6+2223 is one of the most complex merging clusters, believed to consist of four dark matter halos. We present results from deep (365 ks) Chandra observations of the cluster, which reveal the most distant cold front (z=0.544) discovered to date. In the cluster outskirts, we also detect hints of a surface brightness edge that could be the bow shock preceding the cold front. The substructure analysis of the cluster identified several components with large relative radial velocities, thus indicating that at least some collisions occur almost along the line of sight. The inclination of the mergers with respect to the plane of the sky poses significant observational challenges at X-ray wavelengths. MACS J1149.6+2223 possibly hosts a steep-spectrum radio halo. If the steepness of the radio halo is confirmed, then the radio spectrum, combined with the relatively regular ICM morphology, could indicate that MACS J1149.6+2223 is an old merging cluster.

description: We present a novel technique for the detection terahertz pulses generated by femtosecond lasers. It features a Hz-level resolution and does not require a mechanical delay stage or a second femtosecond laser. It works by opto-electronically downconverting the individual frequency components composing the terahertz pulse. Unlike other techniques, it does not require an external spectrum analyzer or a lock-in amplifier for its implementation, although it can also be implemented using them. We believe this technique is a valuable tool to study the ultimate frequency stability of terahertz pulsed systems and the phase noise of the femtosecond lasers that drives them.

description: “Under the banner of Asianism”: transnational dimensions of Japanese Asianism discourse during the Taishō period (1912–1926) This article investigates the background and dynamics of the emergence and establishment of Asianism (Ajiashugi) as a contested key concept in mainstream political discourse in Japan during the 1910s and 1920s. Mainly focusing on the influence of Chinese and “Western” conceptions of Asianism on the debate in Japan, it analyses the Japanese “embrace of Asia” during the Taishō period (1912–1926) in a transnational politico-intellectual context. Initially, not only claims for Asian unity were largely rejected but Japanese “Asianity” as such was disputed by a majority of public opinion leaders. After the First World War, however, Japanese intellectuals increasingly began to embrace the idea of Asia and to propose Asianism as a political principle in opposition, or complementary to, the predominant doctrines of the time, such as nationalism, internationalism, or imperialism. While the self-affirmative call for an “Asia for the Asians” appealed to participants in this debate beyond national and ideological borders, the mere adoption of “Western” Orientalist rhetoric by Japanese and Chinese proponents of Asianism obstructed a full-scale conceptual emancipation from “the West”.

description: Metasurfaces, with intrinsically planar nature and subwavelength thickness, provide us unconventional methodologies to not only mold the flow of propagating waves but also manipulate near-field waves. Plasmonic metasurfaces with topological transition for controlling surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) recently have been experimentally demonstrated, which, however, are limited to optical frequencies. In this work, we proposed and experimentally characterized an ultrathin metasurface with the topological transition for manipulating spoof SPPs at low frequency. We demonstrated rich interesting phenomena based on this metasurface, including frequency-dependent spatial localization, non-diffraction propagation, negative refraction, and dispersion-dependent spin-momentum locking of spoof SPPs. Comparing with traditional three-dimensional metamaterials, our metasurface exhibits low propagation loss and compatibility with the photonic integrated circuit, which may find plenty of applications in spatial multiplexers, focusing and imaging devices, planar hyperlens, and dispersion-dependent directional couplers, in microwave and terahertz frequencies.

„The Cult of Asianism“:
Creators: name: Fischer-Tiné, Harald
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2008

description: The article explores Asianist discourses that emerged in India from the late9th century through the first decade after independence. The first section gives a general overview of the various historical stages of the Indian involvement with Asia during the period under survey as expressed in the writings and speeches of leading intellectuals and politicians. The second section analyses in greater detail three of the most important discursive constructions of a pan-Asian identity from the interwar period: Rabindranath Tagore’s influential anti-modernist conception of ‘Asia as spiritual counter-Europe’; the powerful trope of Asia as ‘Greater India’, that gained particular popularity among Hindu nationalist outfits; and the pragmatic and modernist concept of Young Asia’, that posited a pan-Asian solidarity as a strategic device in the fight against Western imperialism. With the possible exception of the ‘Young Asia’ model, it is argued by way of conclusion, the Indian ‘cult of Asianism’ was clearly built on Western Orientalist stereotypes and had only limited potential to contribute to the intellectual decolonisation of India.

The early response to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Victoria, Australia

description: Internationally, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite three decades of improvements to the chain of survival, a report published in 2010 suggests that internationally pooled survival rates from OHCA remain unchanged. Many international emergency medical service (EMS) agencies have described contemporary approaches to improving the early response to OHCA patients, through the introduction of innovative system- and community-based interventions. In Australia, there is little published evidence describing the early response to OHCA and the association between initiatives to improve cardiac arrest care and clinical outcomes.
 In this thesis comprised of published works, I aim to explore the challenges in optimising early response to OHCA in Victoria, Australia. This thesis is organised into two major themes, describing the response to OHCA patients both before, and after, the event occurs. Until now, almost no attention has been given to prevention strategies that may help to reduce the short-term risk of developing an OHCA. In the first section of the thesis, I present compelling evidence to support recent changes to the first link in the chain of survival, and suggest that interventions to improve patient recognition of the prodromal symptoms may help to significantly reduce episodes of OHCA in the community. This work is supported by two further studies, which indicate that the frequency of typical prodromal symptoms preceding OHCA is high, and increasing public awareness of these typical warning symptoms could also lead to an increase in EMS use.
 The second section of this thesis explores the contemporary systems-based response to OHCA in Victoria, and describes the value of state-wide initiatives to improve bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and survival outcomes. This section also describes opportunities to improve the emergency system response further by eliminating avoidable delays to accessing EMS and identifying disparities in the response to OHCA across metropolitan and rural areas of Victoria. This work demonstrates that a contemporary and innovative approach, which targets all links in the chain of survival, can be highly effective at reducing the burden of OHCA in the community. Addressing the future challenges to optimising the early response to OHCA in Victoria is also discussed.

description: Over the last two decades, “Asia” has gained an important place in Western public discourse. Ideas of “Asia” as an entity, however, have a long tradition in Western discourse and were subject to significant changes over time. Within the region, concepts of a shared Asian identity and projects of integration and collaboration can be traced back to the late nineteenth century when Japan proposed to lead Asia in its struggle against Western colonialism and imperialism. Due to its own bid for power in the region, Japanese Pan-Asianism was not uncontested. Throughout the twentieth century, various actors at different levels of society developed a variety of definitions of “Asia” and alternative projects of intraregional collaboration. The term “Asianisms” is used to refer to both discursive constructs of Asia as a region as well as to political, economic, social and cultural practices related to them. The article gives an overview of the evolution of Asianisms since the late nineteenth century and introduces the individual contributions to this volume.

description: Inson xo‘jalik faoliyatining daryolar oqimiga ta’siri juda qadim zamonlarga borib taqaladi. Bu ta’sir daryolarning gidrologik rejimi, ular suv resurslarining miqdoriy va sifat ko‘rsatkichlarining o‘zgarishlarida aks etadi. Kishilik jamiyatining dastlabki tarixiy rivojlanish va taraqqiyoti bosqichlarida uning daryolar suv rejimiga ta’siri keng miqyosda kuzatilmagan va shuning uchun ham uncha sezilarli bo‘lmagan. Ushbu maqolada Zarafshon daryosining o‘rtacha yillik suv sarflarining yillararo tebranishlari asosida ajratilgan davrlar bo‘yicha shartli qabul qilingan tabiiy davr, ya’ni 1961-1990 yillarga nisbatan o‘zgarishi miqdoriy baholandi.
description: The influence of human economic activities on the flow of rivers goes back to ancient times. This effect is reflected in changes in the hydrological regime of rivers, quantitative and qualitative indicators of water resources. In the early stages of human society's historical development and progress, its influence on the water regime of rivers was not observed on a large scale and therefore was not very significant. In this article, the change of the average annual water consumption of the Zarafshan River in relation to the conventionally accepted natural period, i.e., 1961-1990, was quantitatively assessed.

Ein Beitrag zur Integration von Sensoren in eine anthropomorphe künstliche Hand mit flexiblen Fluidaktoren
Creators: name: Martin, Jan Christoph

Subjects: Handprothese
Aktor

description: Neuartige Antriebsprinzipien wie flexible Fluidaktoren erlauben die Entwicklung leichter und vielgliedriger anthropomorpher Hände, deren Größe dem menschlichen Vorbild sehr nahe kommt. Sie schließen die Lücke zwischen Greifern mit eingeschränkter Beweglichkeit und sehr aufwändigen Roboterhänden für die Teleoperation. Ihre Einsatzgebiete sind sowohl Handprothesen als auch humanoide Serviceroboter. Dieses Buch trägt zur Entwicklung von Sensoren für solche Hände bei und zeigt ihre Anwendung am Beispiel von Regelungs- und Greifverfahren. Zusammengestellt werden die Aufgaben, Fähigkeiten und Anforderungen in Anlehnung an die Physiologie und Tätigkeiten der menschlichen Hand. Aus der Analyse und Modellierung des Aktorverhaltens werden weitere Randbedingungen für ein Sensorsystem hergeleitet. Nach der Darstellung der bereits in künstlichen Händen eingesetzten Messverfahren erfolgt die Auswahl, Auslegung und Optimierung von Winkelsensoren, taktilen Kraftsensoren und Sensoren zur Messung des Aktordrucks. Zur Übertragung der Sensorsignale an eine Steuerungseinheit werden unterschiedliche Leitungsmaterialien und Verkabelungsstrukturen bewertet. Die Nutzung der Sensoren wird an Hand verschiedener Regelungsvarianten für einzelne und mehrere Gelenke im pneumatischen und hydraulischen Betrieb demonstriert. Abschließend werden die Funktionen einer Greifsteuerung als Schnittstelle zwischen der Gelenkregelung und einer übergeordneten Robotersteuerung diskutiert.
Spectroscopic ellipsometry of interfacial phase transitions in fluid metallic systems: KxKCl1-x and Ga1-xBix [online]

description: The investigation of the interfacial phase transitions in fluid systems with short-range intermetallic interactions are of great interest. The phenomena were studied in two systems exhibiting a liquid-liquid miscibility gap: at the fluid/wall interface in fluid KxKCl1-x and at the fluid/vacuum interface of the Ga1 xBix alloys. To characterize the interfacial changes of the ultra thin films (composition, thickness and their evolution with time) the spectroscopic ellipsometry was performed over a wide spectral range. Whereas in the experiments on KxKCl1-x an existing ellipsometer could be used, a completely new UHV-apparatus including the in-situ phase modulation ellipsometer had to be developed for Ga1 xBix alloys. For the KxKCl1-x system new results on complete wetting at solid-liquid coexistence as well as in the homogenous liquid phase (prewetting) are presented. The spectra show the typical F center absorption which indicates that the film is a salt-rich phase. The thickness strongly increases approaching the monotectic from 30 to 440 nm, which is in agreement with the tetra point wetting scenario. For this interpretation a quantitative description of the excess Gibbs energy has been developed. For the Ga1 xBix system the results on complete wetting, surface freezing and oscillatory interfacial instabilities are presented. The high-precision spectra have been recorded approaching the liquid-liquid miscibility. These spectra have been modeled using a Ga-Bi effective medium approximation for the substrate covered by a film of liquid Bi. The measurements give evidence of tetra point wetting in the Ga-Bi system. First ellipsometric study of the surface freezing in Ga-Bi has been performed. Within the miscibility gap a very interesting effect of surface and bulk oscillatory instability was observed. The details of this process at present are not well understood, but a qualitative description is given.
Ultra-local models of modified gravity without kinetic term

description: We present a class of modified-gravity theories which we call ultra-local models. We add a scalar field, with negligible kinetic terms, to the Einstein-Hilbert action. We also introduce a conformal coupling to matter. This gives rise to a new screening mechanism which is not entirely due to the non-linearity of the scalar field potential or the coupling function but to the absence of the kinetic term. As a result this removes any fifth force between isolated objects in vacuum. The predictions of these models only depend on a single free function, as the potential and the coupling function are degenerate, with an amplitude given by a parameter $α\lesssim 10^{-6}$, whose magnitude springs from requiring a small modification of Newton's potential astrophysically and cosmologically. This singles out a redshift $z_α \sim α^{-1/3} \gtrsim 100$ where the fifth force is the greatest. The cosmological background follows the $Λ$-CDM history within a $10^{-6}$ accuracy, while cosmological perturbations are significantly enhanced (or damped) on small scales, $k \gtrsim 2 h {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ at $z=0$. The spherical collapse and the halo mass function are modified in the same manner. We find that the modifications of gravity are greater for galactic or sub-galactic structures. We also present a thermodynamic analysis of the non-linear and inhomogeneous fifth-force regime where we find that the Universe is not made more inhomogeneous before $z_α$ when the fifth force dominates, and does not lead to the existence of clumped matter on extra small scales inside halos for large masses while this possibility exists for masses $M\lesssim 10^{11} M_\odot$ where the phenomenology of ultra-local models would be most different from $Λ$-CDM.

description: Die bisherigen Realisierungen von Netzausgleichungs- und Deformationsanalysealgorithmen in operationellen Softwaresystemen sind meist nur Insellösungen, die sich schlecht erweitern lassen und einen hohen Wartungsaufwand erfordern. Im vorliegenden Buch wird gezeigt, wie durch Anwendung von aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen aus der Informatik eine höhere Flexibilität bei geodätischen Softwarelösungen erreicht und ein durchgängiger Datenfluss von der Datenerfassung, über die Aufbereitung der Messungen, die Netzausgleichung und die Deformationsanalyse bis hin zur Visualisierung realisiert werden kann. Dazu wurde ein komplexes Klassenmodell, das weite Teile der Ingenieurgeodäsie modelliert und ein komplettes Vermessungsprojekt abbilden kann, aufgestellt. Im Bereich der Netzausgleichung liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Entwicklung eines Lösungsansatzes zur allgemeinen Formulierung von Beobachtungsgleichungen und zur sinnvollen Integration der statistischen Test in das Klassenmodell. Die Algorithmen der Deformationsanalyse werden in Modelle eingeteilt, die eine Standardisierung der entsprechenden Schnittstellen ermöglichen, um so den Grundsätzen der Flexibilität und leichten Erweiterung gerecht zu werden.
