description: The parcel concept in Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method has been added to the reaction algorithm to the DSMC solver in OpenFOAM to reduce computational demand. Parcel per cell is checked for different cell sizes and different parcel sizes to obtain the right cell size for a given system. At this cell size, diffusion of CO in O2 is simulated in a porous structure to ascertain the feasibility of this concept. After adding adsorption and reaction models, concentration profiles are obtained for different temperatures and different time steps. These profiles are compared with the single molecule algorithm written by Pesch et al. [14]. The local surface coverages and reaction rates are evaluated at a parcel size ranging from 10 to 100 to further validate the new approach. Computational time demand reduces by half at maximum parcel size to reach similar steady state results as that of the single molecule approach.

description: Die Bachelorarbeit wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes „D.14 Empirische Absicherung des Redeflusskompass (2009-2012)“ an der Interkantonalen Hochschule für Heilpädagogik in Zürich verfasst. Als Beitrag zur ganzheitlichen Evaluation des Redeflusskompasses befasst sie sich mit der Überprüfung der Gütekriterien Validität und Reliabilität. Folgende zwei Fragestellungen leiteten durch die Untersuchung:
 - Stimmen die Ergebnisse des Redeflusskompasses mit den bereits bestehenden sprachentwicklungsspezifischen Diagnosen von Kindern der Kontrollgruppe in der Tatsache überein, dass diese keine Anzeichen auf eine Sprechunflüssigkeit aufweisen? - Resultieren bei der Retestung des Redeflusskompasses bei Kindern der Kontrollgruppe dieselben Ergebnisse wie bei der Ersttestung?
 Der Redeflusskompass wurde mit 30 Kindern der Kontrollgruppe durchgeführt. Die Daten wurden mit den Methoden Beobachtung und Befragung erhoben. Die Untersuchung der Validität zeigte, dass 93% der Diagnosen mit den Resultaten des Redeflusskompasses übereinstimmten. Die Resultate der Reliabilität ergaben eine Korrelation von 0.83, was als gut erachtet werden kann.

description: The growing demand for stony corals as ornamental aquarium animals requires defined aquacultural breeding strategies. For the sexual propagation of corals, material substrates are needed, that attract larvae and support their settlement and development. In this study, five types of highly porous ceramic materials were developed following the example of coral skeleton. The applicability of these settlement substrates was tested using larvae of the stony coral Pocillopora damicornis. Partial sintering of pressed clay pellets, freeze casting of clay and alumina-mullite based slurries and direct foaming of high alkane phase emulsified suspensions (HAPES) using alumina were employed. By the addition of mm-sized spherical polystyrene beads as sacrificial templates during freeze casting (alumina-mullite), superficial pores in the size of the larvae were created. The inorganic substrates featured open porosities between 35% (pressed clay) and 83% (foamed alumina), pore sizes ranging from nm to mm-scale and pore morphologies dominated by interparticle porosity (pressed), lamellar pores (freeze casting) and cellular pore types (direct foaming). The ceramic substrates were incubated in artificial sea water for 3 months to induce necessary biofilm formation and algae growth. Afterwards, individual substrates were exposed to 5 coral larvae, and their settlement behavior was monitored over 14 days. At the end of this period, all ceramic materials were successfully accepted as settlement substrates, with a mean settlement rate of 46.2%, and no significant differences between the substrate types. On samples with large surface superficial pores, a significantly reduced survival of settled larvae (79%) compared to the other porous materials (93–98%) was determined, suggesting a non-ideal surface topography. While alumina foam samples (HAPES) exhibit the most promising results in terms of settlement and survival of larvae, clay-based substrates provide a more economic solution for the sexual propagation of corals in aquaculture.

description: Mit dem Inhalt meiner Untersuchung, dem Vergleich zwischen Zeichen- und Sprachentwicklung, hat sich bis anhin keine Forschung und entsprechend auch keine Fachliteratur beschäftigt. Zur Formulierung der Fragestellungen, nämlich nach den möglichen Schnittstellen zwischen den zwei Entwicklungsmustern und nach etwaigen Korrelationen zwischen Auffälligkeiten in der Zeichenentwicklung und der Sprachentwicklungsstörung, musste eine gänzlich neue Versuchsanordnung ersonnen werden. Ich habe den normierten Test «Zeichne einen Menschen!» (ZEM) bei 42 Kindern durchgeführt und die Zeichnungen nach Entwicklungskriterien ausgewertet, was klar werden liess, dass keine Korrelation zwischen den zwei Entwicklungsmustern besteht, dennoch Analogien bezüglich der Entwicklungsrichtung zu konstatieren sind. Ziel dieser Studie war es auch, eine vertiefte Einsicht in die Entwicklung der Ausdruckskompetenz des Kindes zu gewinnen. Ein Resultat, das durch die ergänzende Anwendung des Wissens um die Zeichenentwicklung im Bereich der diagnostischen und therapeutischen Logopädie durchaus zu verzeichnen ist.

description: Ceramic capillary membranes conditioned for virus filtration via functionalization with n-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)diethylenetriamine (TPDA) are analyzed with respect to their virus retention capacity when using feed solutions based on monovalent and divalent salts (NaCl, MgCl2). The log reduction value (LRV) by operating in dead-end mode using the model bacteriophage MS2 with a diameter of 25 nm and an IEP of 3.9 is as high as 9.6 when using feeds containing MgCl2. In contrast, a lesser LRV of 6.4 is observed for feed solutions based on NaCl. The TPDA functionalized surface is simulated at the atomistic scale using explicit-solvent molecular dynamics in the presence of either Na+ or Mg2+ ions. Computational prediction of the binding free energy reveals that the Mg2+ ions remain preferentially adsorbed at the surface, whereas Na+ ions form a weakly bound dissolved ionic layer. The charge shielding between surface and amino groups by the adsorbed Mg2+ ions leads to an upright orientation of the TPDA molecules as opposed to a more tilted orientation in the presence of Na+ ions. The resulting better accessibility of the TPDA molecules is very likely responsible for the enhanced virus retention capacity using a feed solution with Mg2+ ions.

description: In situ thermometry of catalytic gas phase reactions allows the determination of temperature profiles in catalyst beds. In NMR imaging systems used for measuring the chemical composition of species in model reactors, temperature measurements by NMR spectroscopy are technically challenging and confined to a rather low temperature range. In this study, an optimized NMR in situ technique is proposed, which will allow the determination of the temperature distribution in highly exothermic reactions on structured catalysts. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) was successfully applied as an alternative method for temperature measurements commonly performed by chemical shift measurements using ethylene glycol. DW-MRI applied with different diffusion sensitizing gradients allows high-resolution imaging of the temperature dependent diffusion coefficient, without the need for high spatial homogeneity of the magnetic field. Using 3D DW-MRI on ethylene glycol, glycerol, and the temperature stable ionic liquid Pyr13 [TFSI] (decomposition temperature of 400 °C) as NMR thermometers, measurements were performed in a temperature range from 20 to 160 °C. The proposed method can be used in reaction engineering approaches performed in NMR systems.

description: The two binary black-hole (BBH) coalescences detected by LIGO, GW150914 and GW151226, were relatively nearby sources, with a redshift of ~0.1. As the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO and Virgo increases in the next few years, they will eventually detect stellar-mass BBHs up to redshifts of ~1. However, these are still relatively small distances compared with the size of the Universe, or with those encountered in most areas of astrophysics. In order to study BBH during the epoch of reionization, or black holes born from population III stars, more sensitive instruments are needed. Third-generation gravitational-wave detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope or the Cosmic Explorer are already in an advanced R&D stage. These detectors will be roughly a factor of 10 more sensitive in strain than the current generation, and be able to detect BBH mergers beyond a redshift of 20. In this paper we quantify the precision with which these new facilities will be able to estimate the parameters of stellar-mass, heavy, and intermediate-mass BBH as a function of their redshifts and the number of detectors. We show that having only two detectors would result in relatively poor estimates of black hole intrinsic masses; a situation improved with three or four instruments. Larger improvements are visible for the sky localization, although it is not yet clear whether BBHs are luminous in the electromagnetic or neutrino band. The measurement of the spin parameters, on the other hand, do not improve significantly as more detectors are added to the network since redshift information are not required to measure spin.

description: We introduce the general parameter Q_PB that provides an experimentally accessible nonclassicality measure for light. The parameter is quantified by the click statistics obtained from on-off detectors in a general multiplexing detection setup. Sub-Poisson-binomial statistics, observed by Q_PB<0, indicates that a given state of light is nonclassical. Our new parameter replaces the binomial parameter Q_B for more general cases, where any unbalance among the multiplexed modes is allowed, thus enabling the use of arbitrary multiplexing schemes. The significance of the parameter Q_PB is theoretically examined in a measurement setup that only consists of a ring resonator and a single on-off detector. The proposed setup exploits minimal experimental resources and is geared towards a fully integrated quantum nanophotonic circuit. The results show that nonclassical features remain noticeable even in the presence of significant losses, rendering the new nonclassicality test more practical and flexible to be used in various nanophotonic platforms.

description: An emulsion-based synthesis route for the generation of organo-silica-based monolithic hybrid ceramics with a high content of different organic groups and embedded nickel nanoparticles is presented. By this route hybrid ceramics with a hierarchical pore size distribution and tailorable surface characteristics can be obtained. Mixtures of methyl polysiloxane (MK), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) with varying ratios are selected as precursors, cross-linked, and subsequently pyrolyzed at 500 or 600 °C. In this way monolithic emulsion based hybrid ceramics with three different organo-functionalized siloxane precursor can be synthesized. Additionally, by adding the metal precursor NiCl2, metal-containing emulsion-based hybrid ceramics can be achieved. By adjusting the oil/water ratio and using high- or low internal phase emulsions (HIPEs or LIPEs), controlled micro-, meso-, and macropore distributions are obtained. After pyrolysis, materials achieve specific BET surface areas of up to 550 m2/g. Adjustable surface characteristics in terms of hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of the material surface by thermal decomposition behavior of precursors is demonstrated. Nickel is incorporated through the formation of complexes with APTES, resulting in well-distributed metal nanoparticles with average particle sizes between 35 and 69 nm. The material properties are pivotal features for catalysis and gas separation applications.
title: Processing of relative clauses with stylistic inversion in L2 French in adult learners with L1 English
Creators: name: Terry, Chelsea
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: This thesis studies low to intermediate proficiency L2 speakers of French who have English as their L1 in order to better understand the role of proficiency and transfer in second language processing. Specifically, this study focuses on how these speakers process different relative clauses structures in their second language by having them read different sentences using a self paced reading task followed by comprehension questions. Participants read sentences that were of the following structures: subject relative clauses (SR), object relative clauses (OR), and object relative clauses with stylistic inversion (ORSI). The data provides evidence that proficiency as well as sentence structure have an effect on participants’ processing abilities. As participants’ proficiency increased so did their processing abilities which was evidenced by them recording faster reading times (RT) and achieving higher accuracy on comprehension questions. These increases in performance were only found to affect the OR and ORSI structures. Participants were consistent in their performance on SR, with results remaining stable as proficiency increased. Ultimately it appears that participants had the most difficulty with ORSI, the structure that is not allowed in their L1. OR had the next highest difficulty level, with participants having no difficulty with SR. The preference for SR over OR and ORSI suggests that the subject-object processing asymmetry was transferred from participants’ L1. This is further supported by participants’ poor performance on ORSI sentences. Based on comprehension results as well as RT data, participants appear to have begun acquiring the morphosyntactic process needed to process ORSI. These results plus the improved performance with increased proficiency, support the FTFA over the SSH.

description: Human-mediated dispersal of exotic species is a major contributor to biological invasion and biodiversity loss worldwide. International tourism as a subset of the global anthropogenic movement is recognised as a pathway for the–sometimes rapid–movement of invasive alien species. Biosecurity failures can have a significant impact on the tourism industry itself, for example, in curtailment of activities once in the country, reducing the value of a country’s image to prospective tourists, and a potential reduction in the number of visitors. International tourism dominates human movement into Aotearoa New Zealand, and prior to the pandemic, there were c. 3.9M visitor arrivals in 2019, with numbers forecast to return to these levels post 2024 once air routes and flight capacity are re-established. While information and inspection at the ports of arrival are designed to mitigate biosecurity risk, the relationship between biosecurity measures and the tourism experience has often been assumed to be antagonistic. In Aotearoa New Zealand, for example, border biosecurity measures have been said to be “costly and time-consuming” and “unpopular with visitors”. Despite these assumptions, there is also evidence that in certain special-interest forms of tourism–such as nature tourism to the Galapagos Islands–biosecurity-oriented tourism can enhance the tourist experience and even attract a premium. In this presentation, we consider the prospects for a broader integration of biosecurity measures, protocols, and awareness into the generic tourist experience, in ways that might increase the value of the experience to the tourist. Specifically, we consider opportunities that include the cultural, social, and value dimensions of the tourist experience. Examples of such types of opportunity include indigenous practices and rituals of encounter suggestive of guest obligations to respect the local society and environment; the use of practice theory to guide incorporation of socially enacted ‘bundles’ of tourist practices that are supportive of sustainability and relevant to biosecurity; and the possibility of leveraging tourist values of authenticity and sincerity to create ‘buy-in’ to biosecurity measures and awareness. Finally, we critique these potential ways of integrating biosecurity into the tourist experience and draw conclusions about their likelihood of being successful and the challenges of implementing such possible integrative approaches in tourism.

description: We propose theoretically a thermal switch operating by the magnetic-flux controlled diffraction of phase-coherent heat currents in a thermally biased Josephson junction based on a two-dimensional topological insulator. For short junctions, the system shows a sharp switching behavior while for long junctions the switching is smooth. Physically, the switching arises from the Doppler shift of the superconducting condensate due to screening currents induced by a magnetic flux. We suggest a possible experimental realization that exhibits a relative temperature change of 40\% between the on and off state for realistic parameters. This is a factor of two larger than in recently realized thermal modulators based on conventional superconducting tunnel junctions.

description: Schluckstörungen sind in Alters- und Pflegeheimen häufig und werden teilweise spät oder gar nicht erkannt. Dysphagien werden von unterschiedlichen Berufsgruppen (Ergo- und Physiotherapie, Pflege, Ärzte und Logopädie) diagnostiziert und behandelt. Da unerkannte Schluckstörungen viele weitere Komplikationen nach sich ziehen können, ist die frühe Erkennung in diesem Bereich von grosser Bedeutung. Durch Literaturrecherchen und Interviews mit Experten haben wir Daten für die Erkennung von Dysphagie erhalten und diese durch ein qualitatives Vorgehen erfasst. Mittels Inhaltsanalyse wurden Beobachtungskriterien entwickelt. Daraus entstand eine Entscheidungshilfe für das Pflegepersonal. Diese klärt die Frage: Braucht es eine fundierte Schluckabklärung durch eine Fachperson, oder ist das Risiko einer Dysphagie klein? Das Instrument mit dem Namen „Schluck-ErRkennung für Alters- und PflegeHeime SERAPH“ dient der Prophylaxe von den Folgen einer Dysphagie.

description: We demonstrate thermalization and Bose-Einstein (BE) distribution of photons in standard erbium-doped fibers (edf) in a broad spectral range up to ~200nm at the 1550nm wavelength regime. Our measurements were done at a room temperature ~300K and 77K. It is a special demonstration of thermalization of photons in fiber cavities and even in open fibers. They are one-dimensional (1D), meters-long, with low finesse, high loss and small capture fraction of the spontaneous emission. Moreover, we find in the edf cavities coexistence of thermal equilibrium (TE) and lasing without an overall inversion. The experimental results are supported by a theoretical analysis based on the rate equations.

description: This study investigates the ― Role of the Informal Sector for Women Economic Development in two sub cities in Addis Ababa City Administration.‖ The main objective of the study was to assess what women can do in the informal sector for their economic livelihood in terms of employment creation, income generation, and household support and, for poverty reduction. A total of 196 questionnaires were administered on the sampled women informal sector operators in the two sub cities. In addition, interviews with government officials and NGO were also conducted. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The hypotheses are tested by using qualitative and quantitative data. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher identified and discussed the direct and indirect benefit of the informal sector and looked in to the livelihoods of poor women as well as the major challenges encountered during the operation of the business. The study revealed that the informal sector has a positive role to play for women in economic development in terms of job creation, income generation, and house hold support and poverty reduction. It enables women to expand their income generation scheme through the opportunity it creates for them to earn income that they use for the welfare of members in their households. The sample respondents stressed the importance of the informal sector for alleviating household poverty. The study also identified the major challenges of the operators such as lack of working place, shortage of working capital, problems faced by the code enforcement police, (lack of encouragement by the government police), and no access to credit facility and women operators do not see an increasing demand for their items on the sale. Finally, in order to minimize and alleviate the problems faced by the women economic operators, some options are recommended to policy makers or for concerned government bodies. These include empowering informal traders by creating more favorable environment for trade, and improved access to market, providing credit facilities, and information on how to build, organize and make success on small business.

description: This Appendix of Tables describes the characteristics of 58 recreation subdivisions and 328 sample lot owners in Chaffee, Custer, Fremont, Huerfano, Lake, Las Animas, and Pueblo Counties, in Colorado between 1967 and 1972. The main emphasis is on the mail survey of lot owners. The survey indicated that inmigration and housing construction has been low. While planned inmigration will continue to be slow (16 percent), planned housing construction is expected to be high (58 percent in 5 years). About 41 percent visited their properties in 1973, each staying an average of three weeks with expenditures of $362 per owner.
description: This study of recreation subdivisions was done at the request of the Sangre de Cristo Project Council of the Resource Conservation and Development Project. It was carried out in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding between the Economic Research Service and the Soil Conservation Service, 1972.

description: An optimal trade-off design for fractional order (FO)-PID controller is proposed in this paper with a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) based technique using two conflicting time domain control objectives. The deviation of the state trajectories and control signal are automatically enforced by the LQR. A class of delayed FO systems with single non-integer order element has been controlled here which exhibit both sluggish and oscillatory open loop responses. The FO time delay processes are controlled within a multi-objective optimization (MOO) formulation of LQR based FOPID design. The time delays in the FO models are handled by two analytical formulations of designing optimal quadratic regulator for delayed systems. A comparison is made between the two approaches of LQR design for the stabilization of time-delay systems in the context of FOPID controller tuning. The MOO control design methodology yields the Pareto optimal trade-off solutions between the tracking performance for unit set-point change and total variation (TV) of the control signal. Numerical simulations are provided to compare the merits of the two delay handling techniques in the multi-objective LQR-FOPID design, while also showing the capability of load disturbance suppression using these optimal controllers. Tuning rules are then formed for the optimal LQR-FOPID controller knobs, using the median of the non-dominated Pareto solution to handle delays FO processes.

description: Seit Mitte der neunziger Jahre ist die Niedriglohnbeschäftigung in Deutschland stark gestiegen. Im europäischen Vergleich hat Deutschland mittlerweile einen der höchsten Werte unter den kontinentaleuropäischen Ländern. Gleichzeitig ist die Aufstiegsmobilität aus dem Niedriglohnbereich in besser bezahlte Tätigkeiten zurückgegangen. Besonders für gering Qualifizierte, Frauen und Ältere sind die Chancen, ihr Einkommen zu verbessern, erheblich schlechter als für hoch qualifizierte Beschäftigte. Das Ausmaß der Niedriglohnbeschäftigung und die Aufstiegschancen aus dem Niedriglohnbereich sind politisch hoch relevant, da gerade das Argument, dass Niedriglohnjobs gute Möglichkeiten bieten würden, in besser bezahlte Tätigkeiten aufzusteigen, häufig genutzt wird, um eine Ausweitung von Niedriglöhnen zu rechtfertigen. Die im folgenden Artikel vorgestellte Untersuchung basiert auf Datensätzen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit und dem Sozio-ökonomischen Panel. Neben der Entwicklung der Niedriglohnbeschäftigung und der Aufstiegsmobilität in den letzten 20 Jahren werden die Aufstiegsperspektiven aus dem Niedriglohnbereich nach Beschäftigtenmerkmalen differenziert untersucht.

description: We propose a new approach towards analytically solving for the dynamical content of Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) using the bootstrap philosophy. This combines the original bootstrap idea of Polyakov with the modern technology of the Mellin representation of CFT amplitudes. We employ exchange Witten diagrams with built in crossing symmetry as our basic building blocks rather than the conventional conformal blocks in a particular channel. Demanding consistency with the operator product expansion (OPE) implies an infinite set of constraints on operator dimensions and OPE coefficients. We illustrate the power of this method in the epsilon expansion of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point by reproducing anomalous dimensions and, strikingly, obtaining OPE coefficients to higher orders in epsilon than currently available using other analytic techniques (including Feynman diagram calculations). Our results enable us to get a somewhat better agreement of certain observables in the 3d Ising model, with the precise numerical values that have been recently obtained.

description: In this letter the conceptual and computational implications of the Hartree product type nuclear wavefunction introduced recently within the context of the ab initio non-Born-Oppenheimer Nuclear-electronic orbital (NEO) methodology are considered. It is demonstrated that this wavefunction may imply a pseudo-adiabatic separation of the nuclei and electrons and each nucleus is conceived as a quantum oscillator while a non-Coulombic effective Hamiltonian is deduced for electrons. Using the variational principle this Hamiltonian is employed to derive a modified set of single-component Hartree-Fock equations which are equivalent to the multi-component version derived previously within the context of the NEO and, easy to be implemented computationally.

description: Using Fourier and wavelet analysis, we critically re-assess the significance of our detection of periodic pulsations in coronal loops. We show that the proper identification of the frequency dependence and statistical properties of the different components of the power spectra provies a strong argument against the common practice of data detrending, which tends to produce spurious detections around the cut-off frequency of the filter. In addition, the white and red noise models built into the widely used wavelet code of Torrence & Compo cannot, in most cases, adequately represent the power spectra of coronal time series, thus also possibly causing false positives. Both effects suggest that several reports of periodic phenomena should be re-examined. The Torrence & Compo code nonetheless effectively computes rigorous confidence levels if provided with pertinent models of mean power spectra, and we describe the appropriate manner in which to call its core routines. We recall the meaning of the default confidence levels output from the code, and we propose new Monte-Carlo-derived levels that take into account the total number of degrees of freedom in the wavelet spectra. These improvements allow us to confirm that the power peaks that we detected have a very low probability of being caused by noise.

description: Under a liberalized interpretation of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Type IV River Basin Program a study was made to provide input data to the Pennsylvania State Water Plan. Only specified inputs were requested of the Economic Research Service. They included: brief historical settings for each of twenty subregions; an evaluation of State population and employment projections in addition to providing rural breakdowns of each; an assessment of State estimates of livestock numbers, irrigated acres, and associated water use; and estimates of current and projected major land use. To accomplish the above, OBERS projections of agricultural activity at the State level were disaggregated to the subregion level. The report documents the methodology used in accomplishing the entire work effort and presents relevant results, but draws no conclusions.
description: The State of Pennsylvania, through its Department of Environmental Resources, is in the process of formulating a State Water Resources Plan. They have requested the assistance of three USDA agencies (the Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service, and Economic Research Service) to provide specified inputs to their Plan. The USDA will be contributing to the State Plan through the Pennsylvania Analytical Summary, a Type IV River Basin Study. This report by the Economic Research Service brings together in one document the contributions of that agency to the overall study.
