A discipline of specification-based test derivation
Creators: name: Donat, Michael R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: System-level requirements-based testing is an important task in software development, providing evidence that each requirement has been satisfied. There are two major problems with how these tests are derived. First, the notion of coverage is subjective, i.e., there is a lack of objective definitions of coverage criteria. Second, there is a surprising lack of automation in deriving system-level requirements-based tests. Research into solutions for these problems has led to the formulation of the discipline of specification-based test derivation presented in this dissertation: This discipline, which is based on predicate logic, provides a scientific foundation for objective definitions of coverage criteria and algorithms for partially automating test derivation. This dissertation defines some fundamental coverage criteria as examples. A general test frame generation process illustrates a general application of the discipline to a broad range of formal specifications, which can include existential and universal quantification. A refinement of the process can be applied to system-level requirements-based testing. The discipline leverages work invested in compiling the requirements specification. In addition to partially automating the task of verifying that the requirements have been satisfied, the refined process automates the traceability of requirements to test descriptions. Other applications of the discipline of specification-based test derivation include requirements validation and objective measurements for requirements complexity. The discipline can also be used to predict the expected number of tests to be derived, which can then be used for process statistics. The uses of this discipline as a basis for repeatable processes, definitions, and measurements imply that it can form part of software development processes at Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Levels 2 through 5.

Perturbation theory in quantum chemistry
Creators: name: Deng, Jia
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: QD462.D46 2012
subject: Quantum chemistry
subject: Perturbation (Quantum dynamics)

description: This thesis is chiefly concerned with the development of cost-effective approximations to established quantum chemistry methods in terms of perturbative corrections. The central idea involves the use of low-quality calculations as a spring-board to their high-quality, but computationally demanding counterparts. The idea is applied to Self-Consistent Field and second-order M{u00F8}ller-Plesset Perturbation Theory calculations and the performance is thoroughly assessed. Results indicate that, because remarkable agreement with exact calculations can be obtained at drastically reduced cost, these perturbative corrections offer an attractive alternative to exact calculations and allow larger systems to be studied. In addition, the thesis describes two extensions of perturbative corrections in the context of orbital diagnostics and dual-basis counterpoise corrections, which both have useful practical utilities.
Initial practical experience in monitoring refractory material in the glass industry using the SAVEWAY system
Creators: name: Löhlein, Andreas
Publisher: name: Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: 660

description: By means of the SAVEWAY system it is possible to continuously control the refractory material. The measurement of the lining wear is based on the characteristic temperature dependence of the specific electrical resistance of the refractory materials. The advantage of the SAVEWAY system in comparison with other known procedures lies in the areal monitoring of a refractory material. Trough construction areas which are difficult to overlook from the exterior can also be reliably monitored using SAVEWAY. When this system was used in the mineral wool industry it was possible to confirm the remaining wall thickness measurements by means of the SAVEWAY system when breaking out the lining. The results achieved by the glass industry up to now reflect the fact that it is possible to monitor the refractory material by means of SAVEWAY. Modified melting conditions are included in the respective calculations of the remaining wall thickness.

description: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have played an important role in air-ground integration network. Especially in Internet of Things (IoT) services, UAV equipped with communication equipments is widely adopted as a mobile base station (BS) for data collection from IoT devices on the ground. In this paper, we consider an air-ground network in which the UAV flies straightly to collect information from the IoT devices in a 2-D plane based on the CSMA/CA protocol. Due to UAV's continuous mobility, the communication durations of devices in different locations with UAV are not only time-limited, but also vary from each other. To analyze the throughput performance of uplink multiple access control (MAC) protocol, we propose a new analysis model to deal with the communications heterogeneity in the network. Firstly, we divide the devices in the coverage into different clusters according to their communication durations. Then, a quitting probability indicating the probability that a device quits the UAV's coverage at each time slot is clarified. A modified three-dimensional Markov chain model adopting the quitting probability and cluster division is developed for the performance analysis. Besides, we also propose a modified CSMA/CA protocol which fully considers the heterogeneity of the access time and adaptively allocates the time resource among the devices in different clusters. Finally, the effects of retry limit, initial contention window size, the density of the devices, UAVs speed and coverage area are discussed in the simulation section.

A Method for Extracting Light Echo Fluxes Using the NN2 Difference Imaging Technique

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Light echoes are interesting because of the wealth of information they offer about their progenitors and the reflecting dust. Due to their faint surface brightnesses, difference imaging is necessary to separate most light echoes from the sky background. However, difference images reveal only the relative fluxes between two epochs. Obtaining absolute fluxes for individual epochs has traditionally relied on a single template image that is free of light echoes. Since such an observation is normally unavailable, a light echo-free template must be constructed by a complicated and usually subjective process. Here we present an application of the NN2 method of Barris et al. to extract the relative fluxes of light echoes across a range of epochs directly from a series of difference images. This method requires no privileged image and makes maximal use of the observational data. Statistical methods to estimate the zero-flux level and thus the absolute flux are also presented. The efficacy of the technique is demonstrated by an application to the light echoes around SN 1987A. The resulting images reveal new detail and faint light echo structures. This method can be adapted and applied to other extended variable light sources, such as stellar outflows and supernova remnants.

Das Ethos des Investmentbanking. Implikationen für eine prudentielle Regulierung
Creators: name: Reichert, Wolf-Gero
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2015

description: Mit der Finanzkrise kam die Frage der Neugestaltung des Regulierungs-
 arrangements der internationalen Finanzwirtschaft auf die (welt-)politische
 Tagesordnung. Die Diskurse sind dabei sehr stark von der dichotomischen
 Gegenüberstellung, von Staat auf der einen Seite und Markt auf der anderen,
 geprägt. Dabei gerät jedoch zweierlei aus dem Blick: Einerseits wirkt die pri-
 vate Finanzwirtschaft mit an der Erstellung einer wichtigen öffentlichen Aufgabe,
 nämlich der, Wirtschaftssubjekte mit Geld zu versorgen. Andererseits zeigen die
 Erfahrungen einer offensichtlich gescheiterten Regulierungsstrategie, dass auch
 die Bereitschaft der Marktakteure notwendig ist, sich zum Teil mit den gesellschaft-
 lichen Steuerungszielen zu identifizieren. Diese Überlegungen verweisen darauf,
 dass die Finanzwirtschaft im Allgemeinen, das hoch innovative Investmentbanking
 im Besonderen, nur dann effizient reguliert werden kann, wenn auch die Überzeu-
 gungen und Wertorientierungen, welche die Finanzpraxis orientieren, kurz: das
 Berufsethos des Investmentbanking, einbezogen werden.

 In the course of the global financial crisis, the reform of the financial regulation re-
 appeared on the (international) political agenda. The public discourse is henpecked
 by concepts, which concentrate on the opposition between state and market. How-
 ever, this systematical focus ignores two important aspects: On the one hand it fades
 out that the financial stability and market efficiency are global public goods. Then
 again, the evident failure of the strategy of regulation has shown that a successful
 regulation needs the willingness of the market agents to identify at least to some
 extent with the regulatory objectives. Therefore, the financial system in general and
 the sector of investment banking in particular can only be regulated efficiently, if the
 beliefs and moral concepts – the professional ethos – which orientate the financial
 praxis are incorporated.

description: The Fibonacci topological order is the simplest platform for a universal topological quantum computer, consisting of a single type of non-Abelian anyon, $τ$, with fusion rule $τ\timesτ=1+τ$. While it has been proposed that the anyon spectrum of the $ν=12/5$ fractional quantum Hall state includes a Fibonacci sector, a dynamical picture of how a pure Fibonacci state may emerge in a quantum Hall system has been lacking. Here we use recently proposed non-Abelian dualities to construct a Fibonacci state of bosons at filling $ν=2$ starting from a trilayer of integer quantum Hall states. Our parent theory consists of bosonic "composite vortices" coupled to fluctuating $U(2)$ gauge fields, which is related to the standard theory of Laughlin quasiparticles by duality. The Fibonacci state is obtained by clustering the composite vortices between the layers, along with flux attachment, a procedure reminiscent of the clustering picture of the Read-Rezayi states. We further use this framework to motivate a wave function for the Fibonacci fractional quantum Hall state.

description: We study geometric consistency relations between angles on 3-dimensional (3D) circular quadrilateral lattices -- lattices whose faces are planar quadrilaterals inscribable into a circle. We show that these relations generate canonical transformations of a remarkable ``ultra-local'' Poisson bracket algebra defined on discrete 2D surfaces consisting of circular quadrilaterals. Quantization of this structure leads to new solutions of the tetrahedron equation (the 3D analog of the Yang-Baxter equation). These solutions generate an infinite number of non-trivial solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and also define integrable 3D models of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The latter can be thought of as describing quantum fluctuations of lattice geometry. The classical geometry of the 3D circular lattices arises as a stationary configuration giving the leading contribution to the partition function in the quasi-classical limit.

description: The dependence of both the shear and the extensional viscosity of the glass melt, namely, NaPoLi melt (Na2O ∙ Li2O ∙ 2P2O5), on the shear and extensional rate, respectively, was studied by means of a capillary method at a low shear viscosity near the working point at ηs = 10^3 Pa s. To accurately calculate shear viscosities, the Bagley end correction was made by determining the pressure drop at the entrance of the capillary. The extensional viscosity was estimated using the Cogswell model. It was found that a dilatant flow behaviour occurred at low shear rates, whereas a shear-thinning flow behaviour did at high shear rates. At the same time, an extension-thinning flow took place, which onsets at a very low extensional rate and then gradually tends to a constant value. With increasing the extensional rate, the Trouton ratio strongly deviates from the value of pure inelastic and isotropic fluids, i.e. 3. Αll the observed phenomena imply that the NaPoLi glass melt during extrusion is an anisotropic and viscoelastic fluid.

description: This is a study of Euripides "Hippolytus" seen through the notion of moderation and how this term forms in the play the ralationship between humans and gods. I have also tried to reverberate through the culture that produced the play, and thereby to make the culture reverberate through the play. In doing so we can see the role of the sophists and the movement of Orphism in Athens the 5th century B.C. Big part of this study is also concerned with the role of the two goddesses, Artemis and Aphrodite, in the transition of young man into adulthood, in the importance of the institution of Hippolytus' cult as well as the political significance of Aphrodite's cult in classical Athens.
Integrating software distributed shared memory and message passing programming

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: QA76.6.W66 2010
subject: Distributed shared memory
subject: Computer programming

description: Software Distributed Shared Memory (SDSM) systems provide programmers with a shared memory programming environment across distributed memory architectures. In contrast to the message passing programming environment, an SDSM can resolve data dependencies within the application without the programmer having to explicitly specify the required communications. Such ease-of-use is, however, provided at a cost to performance. This thesis considers how the SDSM programming model can be combined with the message passing programming model with the goal of avoiding these additional costs when a message passing solution is straightforward. To pursue the above goal a new SDSM library, named Danui, has been developed. The SDSM manages a shared address space in units of pages. Consistency for these pages is maintained using a variety of home-based protocols. In total, the SDSM includes seven different barrier implementations, five of which support home-migration. Danui is designed with portability and modularity in mind. It is written using the standard Message Passing Interface (MPI) to perform all underlying SDSM related communications. MPI was used both to permit the subsequent exploration of user-level MPI/SDSM programming, and also to enable the SDSM library to exploit optimised MPI implementations on a variety of cluster interconnects. A detailed analysis of the costs associated with the various SDSM operations is given. This analysis characterizes each SDSM operation based upon a number of factors. For example, the size of an SDSM page, the number of modifications made to shared memory, the choice of barrier used etc. This information is then used as a guide to determine which parts of an SDSM program would benefit most if replaced by direct calls to MPI. The integration of the shared memory and message passing (SMMP) programming models within Danui is discussed in detail. It is shown that a na{u00EF}ve integration of the SDSM and MPI programming models leads to memory consistency problems when MPI transfers occur to or from memory that is part of the software managed shared address space. These problems can, however, be overcome by noting the semantics of the shared memory and message passing paradigms, and introducing a few extensions to the MPI interface.

description: The emergence and development of pedagogy as a science is associated with the practical need of society to study and generalize the historical experience of preparing new generations to participate in the production of material and spiritual values. Modern pedagogy is a special area of the science of human education at all age stages of its development. Each science has its own subject, i.e. she studies a certain area of reality. For pedagogy, such an area of reality is education. She studies the essence of upbringing, its deep internal mechanisms, the relationship with the development of the personality and the external conditions of its existence. Therefore, the most basic concept of pedagogy is education, all other concepts concretize and expand it
Die Krise der globalen Finanzwirtschaft - eine Analyse und sozialethische Einschätzung
Creators: name: Emunds, Bernhard

Year: 2015

description: Die globale Finanzkrise ist die tiefgreifende Krise eines neuen Typus der Fi-
 nanzwirtschaft. Darin spielen Transaktionen auf Vermögensmärkten (zur Zeit
 vor allem: Aktien, Immobilien und Rohstoffe) eine zentrale Rolle. Die Geschäfts-
 banken, die neues Geld schaffen können, spekulieren auf diesen Märkten mit
 und vergeben auch Kredite für den Kauf von Vermögenswerten. Dabei fließt
 viel neues Geld auf die Vermögensmärkte und sorgt dort für das Wachstum
 einer großen Preisblase. Die Banken verdienen dabei an den eigenen Trans-
 aktionen sowie an der Kreditfinanzierung und Begleitung der ständigen Um-
 schichtungen bereits vorhandener Vermögenswerte durch andere Akteure –
 und nicht an Finanzdienstleistungen, die der Wertschöpfung dienlich sind.
 Durch dieses Geschäftsmodell – und durch die mit ihm verbundene große
 Krisenanfälligkeit – wird die Legitimität der Finanzwirtschaft bzw. ihre Aus-
 richtung auf das Gemeinwohl fraglich.

 The global financial crisis is a dramatic crisis of a new type of corporate finance.
 In this new type transactions on asset markets (mainly stocks, real estates and
 commodities) play a major role. Commercial banks, which could create new money,
 speculate on these markets and supply loans for the acquisition of assets. In doing
 so new money flows to asset markets and creates a giant asset price bubble. Com-
 mercial banks have high income because of their own speculative transactions as
 well as because of financing and assisting other players’ permanent shifting of al-
 ready existing assets. In these businesses they do not offer financial services creat-
 ing wealth. Through this business model and its immanent instability the legitimacy
 of finance and its alignment with the common good respectively are questioned.

description: Forecasting the imminent catastrophic failure has a high importance for a large variety of systems from the collapse of engineering constructions, through the emergence of landslides and earthquakes, to volcanic eruptions. Failure forecast methods predict the lifetime of the system based on the time-to-failure power law of observables describing the final acceleration towards failure. We show that the statistics of records of the event series of breaking bursts, accompanying the failure process, provides a powerful tool to detect the onset of acceleration, as an early warning of the impending catastrophe. We focus on the fracture of heterogeneous materials using a fiber bundle model, which exhibits transitions between perfectly brittle, quasi-brittle, and ductile behaviors as the amount of disorder is increased. Analyzing the lifetime of record size bursts, we demonstrate that the acceleration starts at a characteristic record rank, below which record breaking slows down due to the dominance of disorder in fracturing, while above it stress redistribution gives rise to an enhanced triggering of bursts and acceleration of the dynamics. The emergence of this signal depends on the degree of disorder making both highly brittle fracture of low disorder materials, and ductile fracture of strongly disordered ones, unpredictable.

description: Besides the photochromic glasses based on silver halides especially the cuprous halide containing materials are of practical importance. Due to their high absorption coefficient the cuprous halides are particularly suited for the preparation of thin photochromic films. Using the sol-gel technique silicon alkoxide based coating solutions with continuously distributed photoactive components were prepared. From these sols single or multilayer coatings were produced by dipping. The precipitation of the cuprous halide microcrystals as carriers of the photochromic properties of the coatings proceeded during a subsequent heat treatment (temperature range of 100 to 800 °C). Thus it was possible for the first time to produee photochromic coatings with a pronounced darkening and with complete reversibility of the photochromic reactions at room temperature.

description: Recently, spectroscopic investigations in the UV-VIS range showed that the amber chromophore in soda-lime-silica glass vanishes with increasing temperature. Oxygen balance calculations have been carried out in order to explain this behavior thermodynamically. The calculations yield that, based on the available standard reaction enthalpies and standard reaction entropies, the product of the ferric and sulfide concentrations decreases with increasing temperature.
Financial Ethics trapped by Financialization

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen

description: Mehrere problematische Entwicklungen sind mit dem Trend der »Finanzi-
 alisierung« (financialization), also des gesamtwirtschaftlichen Bedeutungs-
 zuwachses der Finanzwirtschaft, insbesondere der Wertpapier-bezogenen
 Transaktionen, verbunden. Neben der steigenden Undurchschaubarkeit der
 Risiken und der Machtkonzentration bei den Finanzintermediären, geht es
 vor allem darum, dass die Wertpapiermärkte, einschließlich der Möglichkeit,
 Kredite zu verbriefen, den finanzwirtschaftlichen Geschäftspartnern schnelle
 Ausstiegsmöglichkeiten bieten. In der Folge erodiert das Vertrauen, wodurch
 u.a. die Überwachungskosten steigen, also die Vorteile der Beteiligten aus
 dem Finanzierungsverhältnis sinken. Weitere problematische Entwicklungen,
 die mit der »Finanzialisierung« zusammenhängen, sind zunehmende Bedeu-
 tung und Komplexitätssteigerung des Vertragsrechts, zulasten des professio-
 nellen Ethos der »Banker«, die Zerstückelung der Verantwortlichkeiten in den
 Finanzinstituten und die Beschränkung des wahrgenommenen Handlungsspiel-
 raums auf technische Fragen der Effizienzsteigerung. Als Gegenmittel werden
 empfohlen: eine Finanzethik, welche die Gefahren eines Rückgangs des Be-
 ziehungsaspektes in finanzwirtschaftlichen Interaktionen in den Vordergrund
 stellt, die Förderung langfristiger Finanzbeziehungen und die Einführung von
 Entgeltsystemen, welche statt der Orientierung am »schnellen Geld« die solide
 professionelle Arbeit fördern.

 The trend towards financialization, meaning the increase of importance of
 financial markets, especially of transactions with securities, brings along different
 problems. Besides the decreasing transparency of risks and the concentration of
 power at the financial intermediaries, focus lies on the increasing securities’ mar-
 kets especially the opportunity to securitize loans and offer easy exit-strategies.
 Confidence erodes which leads to rising transaction costs. Therefore benefits for
 the involved parties decline as well. Further problematic developments regarding
 financialization are the increasing importance of complex contracts at the expense
 of the professional »ethos« of bankers, the fragmentation of responsibility in the
 financial institutions and the felt limitation of scope to technical aspects of increas-
 ing efficiency. Recommendations for corrections are: financial ethics, which focus
 on the dangers of decreasing interpersonal relations in financial transactions, the
 promotion of long-term financial relations and the implementation of pay-programs,
 which promote good professional work instead of focusing on making money in the
 short run.

description: With computer vision reaching an inflection point in the past decade, face recognition technology has become pervasive in policing, intelligence gathering, and consumer applications. Recently, face recognition technology has been deployed on bodyworn cameras to keep officers safe, enabling situational awareness and providing evidence for trial. However, limited academic research has been conducted on this topic using traditional techniques on datasets with small sample size. This paper aims to bridge the gap in the state-of-the-art face recognition using bodyworn cameras (BWC). To this aim, the contribution of this work is two-fold: (1) collection of a dataset called BWCFace consisting of a total of 178K facial images of 132 subjects captured using the body-worn camera in in-door and daylight conditions, and (2) open-set evaluation of the latest deep-learning-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures combined with five different loss functions for face identification, on the collected dataset. Experimental results on our BWCFace dataset suggest a maximum of 33.89% Rank-1 accuracy obtained when facial features are extracted using SENet-50 trained on a large scale VGGFace2 facial image dataset. However, performance improved up to a maximum of 99.00% Rank-1 accuracy when pretrained CNN models are fine-tuned on a subset of identities in our BWCFace dataset. Equivalent performances were obtained across body-worn camera sensor models used in existing face datasets. The collected BWCFace dataset and the pretrained/ fine-tuned algorithms are publicly available to promote further research and development in this area. A downloadable link of this dataset and the algorithms is available by contacting the authors.
Haben und mehr Wollen. Eine ethische Begründung von Wachstum
Creators: name: Günter, Andrea
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2015

description: Traditionellerweise wird die Idee des Wollens vom Mangel her gedacht. Damit
 bleibt unberücksichtigt, dass die meisten, die wollen, schon haben, also in An-
 betracht des Habens weiterhin und Weiteres wollen. Platon ist derjenige, der in
 seiner Schrift »Politeia« das Paradigma des Mangels kritisiert und stattdessen ei-
 ne genealogische Struktur von Haben-und-Wollen entwirft: ein Haben und Wollen
 inmitten der Zeiten, der Beziehung und dem (politschen) Raum. Das Wollen kann
 somit nicht länger als (berechtiger) Ausdruck der Bedürfnisbe- friedigung verstan-
 den werden, sondern ist ethisch qualifiziert: Das Haben-und-Wollen wird zu einem
 Mehr-Wollen, wobei sich das Mehr gerade nicht als das Mehr des Habens, sondern
 als das Mehr zum Haben herausstellt. Platons Analyse verdeutlicht die Verschrän-
 kung von Ökonomie und Politik als einen wechselseitigen Prozess der Dezentrierung
 von Macht und bildet damit einen deutlichen Gegensatz zur Trennung der beiden Be-
 reiche, wie Aristoteles sie – als Ausgangspunkt stabiler, unveränderlicher Verhält-
 nisse – in seinem Gegenentwurf behaupten wird.

 In traditional thought, desire is caused by deficiency. This concept neglects the fact that the majority of those who desire at the same time already have: in view of having they still remain people who desire – and desire more. In his book «Politeia», Plato has given a critique of the paradigm of deficiency und has instead developed a genealogical structure of having and desiring – having and desiring in the midst of time, relationship and (political) space. Desiring is thus no longer an indication of need, but is qualified ethically. Having-Desiring means desiring more; not in the sense of the «desire of having more» but «more than having». Plato’s analysis depicts the relation of economy and politics as a process of mutual de-centring of power. Thus, his concept forms a clear contrast to Aristotle, who developed his counter-concept of separate political and economic spheres as a ground for stable, non-changeable order.

description: Let $\mathbf H_2$ denote the set of even integers $n \not\equiv 1 \pmod 3$. We prove that when $H \ge X^{0.33}$, almost all integers $n \in \mathbf H_2$, $X < n \le X + H$ can be represented as the sum of a prime and the square of a prime. We also prove a similar result for sums of three squares of primes.
Two-Level Concept-Oriented Data Model
Creators: name: Savinov, Alexandr
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Databases (cs.DB)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper we describe a new approach to data modelling called the concept-oriented model (CoM). This model is based on the formalism of nested ordered sets which uses inclusion relation to produce hierarchical structure of sets and ordering relation to produce multi-dimensional structure among its elements. Nested ordered set is defined as an ordered set where an each element can be itself an ordered set. Ordering relation in CoM is used to define data semantics and operations with data such as projection and de-projection. This data model can be applied to very different problems and the paper describes some its uses such grouping with aggregation and multi-dimensional analysis.

description: In glassy electrolytes, the diffusive motion of the mobile ions consists of thermally activated hops from site to site. Beyond this statement, little is known about the microscopic dynamics of ionic transport in glass, the problems originating mainly from the lack of long-range order. An important step forward has been made recently by employing the technique of conductivity spectroscopy in a frequency range that covers about fourteen decades, extending up to the far infrared. This particular experimental tool acts as a "microscope in time" resolving hopping processes down to the sub-picosecond time regime. The power of the method is exemplified for the case of a lithium-ion conducting lithium bromide-lithium borate glass, which is representative in many respects. Among the results obtained is the frequent oecurrence of correlated back-and-forth hopping processes as well as the finding that ions have preferences for optimally configured sites which play the role of stepping stones for translational diffusion.

description: Frequency Selective Bolometers (FSBs) are a new type of detector for millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths that are transparent to all but a narrow range of frequencies as set by characteristics of the absorber itself. Therefore, stacks of FSBs tuned to different frequencies provide a low-loss compact method for utilizing a large fraction of the light collected by a telescope. Tests of prototype FSBs, described here, indicate that the absorption spectra are well predicted by models, that peak absolute absorption efficiencies of order 50% are attainable, and that their out-of-band transmission is high.

description: Ideas and knowledge about the world around them are more easily perceived by children if they are presented in the form of games, travels and fairy tales. Fairy tales are capable of giving children an idea of the world around them in an entertaining way, better understanding and understanding it. Fairy-tale forms of perception help to introduce an unusual situation into the studied material, thereby reviving it. With the help of fairy-tale images, teachers find approaches to disclosing the emotional spheres of children. Children listen to fairy tales, learn to worry about heroes, solve seemingly difficult tasks, learn to reason, give reasons for their actions and build logical chains

description: In the process of socialization, a person gradually acquires self-awareness and develops his self-esteem. Within the framework of the study of self-awareness, selfesteem is assigned a leading role, which is why the topic of the formation of selfesteem of a person in preschool age is extremely relevant today. Self-esteem is the most important element of the personality of a person, which largely determines the foundations of life of a person, the level of his aspirations, as well as the entire system of intrapersonal judgments. It determines the dynamics and direction of the development of the subject

description: The plugging of regenerators of glass furnaces resulting from deposition of condensated gases is an important concern of glassmakers since it always leads to a reduction of the regenerative efficiency and sometimes causes strong corrosion of the refractories. SEPR has been working on technical solutions for regenerator problems for a long time. Special products like ER 5312 RX (β''' alumina, 85 % AI2O3) have been developed to protect the top of the packing and increase regenerator life. To improve fuel savings, type 4, a corrugated surface product, was introduced to the market in 1989. This product has since become the standard solution for cruciform packing. In 1997, to meet glass-maker's requirements, SEPR designed a new packing solution aimed at decreasing regenerator plugging risks. This new solution consists of a combination of two products: type 6 and type 4. Type 6 is designed for large flue sizes (up to 350 mm) and reduces plugging in the sulfate condensation zone. Type 4 is used at the top of the packing to maintain high thermal efficiency. Α complete thermal characterization of the new checker, based on laboratory tests and industrial on-site measurements, and including computer model development and adjustment, was performed. This paper presents the technical benefits of this new solution and the results of both laboratory experiments and industrial experience.
