description: Minimization is a reoccurring theme in many mathematical disciplines ranging from pure to applied ones. Of particular importance is the minimization of integral functionals that is studied within the calculus of variations. Proofs of the existence of minimizers usually rely on a fine property of the involved functional called weak lower semicontinuity. While early studies of lower semicontinuity go back to the beginning of the 20th century the milestones of the modern theory were set by C.B. Morrey Jr. in 1952 and N.G. Meyers in 1965. We recapitulate the development on this topic from then on. Special attention is paid to signed integrands and to applications in continuum mechanics of solids. In particular, we review the concept of polyconvexity and special properties of (sub)determinants with respect to weak lower semicontinuity. Besides, we emphasize some recent progress in lower semicontinuity of functionals along sequences satisfying differential and algebraic constraints which have applications in elasticity to ensure injectivity and orientation-preservation of deformations. Finally, we outline generalization of these results to more general first-order partial differential operators and make some suggestions for further reading.

description: This study describes a survey administered to the entire master's degree seeking population at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Participants were asked questions designed to measure how they gained information on SILS's programs, what factors were most influential in their decision to attend SILS, and what factors may be helpful to recruit prospective students.  Respondents most often gained information on SILS via media-related methods such as SILS printed matter and Web site.  Respondents were overwhelmingly concerned with factors that relate to SILS's programs, such as SILS's academic reputation and respondents' employment prospects upon graduation rather that any location-related factors.  Respondents overwhelmingly perceived job placement information on recent SILS graduates as being the most potentially helpful for student recruitment purposes, and perceived media-related factors as more helpful than personal contact with alumni, faculty, or present students.

description: Academic law libraries currently collect almost exclusively quantitative statistics related to number of volumes, circulation of materials, gate counts and interlibrary loans. This research used a web survey sent to all U.S. academic law library directors to gather information about the type of statistics collected in academic law libraries and to get suggestions about how the process might be improved and more relevant statistics gathered. One reason why all law libraries collect and report statistics is the American Bar Association's Annual Questionnaire. The types of statistics currently collected in academic law libraries, even for this questionnaire, do not reflect the changes that technology has brought to the legal profession. This paper summarizes the issues and offers suggestions for the future.

description: Annotated bibliographies are a key tool for students in any academic discipline because they improve the efficiency of the discovery process for relevant resources. The field of archaeology offers a unique challenge to the bibliographer because it encompasses so many dimensions, including time and space. This paper documents my evaluation of the top social networking and bibliographic software on the internet for their suitability for use by archaeology students. Web-based software improves the bibliographic process by allowing users to share their work. For archaeologists, online software also provides innovative techniques for indexing citations, such as geographical browsing interfaces. As a result of my research for this paper, I have chosen two systems that I will continue to experiment with in my own archaeological research process.

Eigenvalue spectrum of the spheroidal harmonics: A uniform asymptotic analysis

description: The spheroidal harmonics $S_{lm}(θ;c)$ have attracted the attention of both physicists and mathematicians over the years. These special functions play a central role in the mathematical description of diverse physical phenomena, including black-hole perturbation theory and wave scattering by nonspherical objects. The asymptotic eigenvalues $\{A_{lm}(c)\}$ of these functions have been determined by many authors. However, it should be emphasized that all previous asymptotic analyzes were restricted either to the regime $m\to\infty$ with a fixed value of $c$, or to the complementary regime $|c|\to\infty$ with a fixed value of $m$. A fuller understanding of the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalue spectrum requires an analysis which is asymptotically uniform in both $m$ and $c$. In this paper we analyze the asymptotic eigenvalue spectrum of these important functions in the double limit $m\to\infty$ and $|c|\to\infty$ with a fixed $m/c$ ratio.

Comparative assessment of energy sources for attaining Sustainable Energy Security (SES): The case of India’s residential sector
Creators: name: Narula, Kapil
Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2015

description: Attaining ‘Sustainable Energy Security’ (SES) is a valid end goal of an energy policy. However, SES is a multidimensional concept which is difficult to evaluate. The aim of this paper is to undertake a comparative assessment of SES of various energy sources for the residential sector in India. The paper also intends to construct a SES Index and rank the energy sources by assessing their performance in different dimensions. The end goal is to identify the energy sources which are relatively more secure and sustainable for India. The paper uses a scoring matrix and a weighting matrix to develop a SES Index. This multidimensional index is constructed as a weighted sum of four indices representing various dimensions, viz. Availability, Affordability, Efficiency and Environmental Acceptability. A comparative assessment of six energy sources for the residential sector for urban India reveals that, firewood has the highest rank followed by LPG and electricity while kerosene has the lowest rank. However in rural India, firewood has the highest rank followed by dung cakes while LPG has the lowest rank. Sensitivity of the SES Index to variation in weights reveals that the results are mostly insensitive to +/- 10% variation in allotted weights. It is therefore important that energy policy in India should be designed in a manner, so as to promote the use of firewood and dung cakes which are relatively more ‘Available’ and ‘Affordable’ in rural areas. Along with this, emphasis should be given on design of better technologies to increase the ‘Efficiency’ and ‘Acceptability’ of these energy sources.

The Only One in the Room: Professional Identity and Black Male Librarians in North Carolina

Subjects: Professional identity
Black librarians--male
African-American male librarians

description: A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to describe how seven black male librarians' dual minority status within the profession influences the construction of their professional identities. Recently, successful professional identity construction has become an important theme in career literature because it has often been associated with career success. However, career literature fails to link the influence social identities have on the construction of professional identity, particularly if those identities are in some way marginalized within that profession and/or stigmatized within the society at large. Black male librarians hold both a marginalized and stigmatized identity in their profession and American society through their race and gender. Yet, in Library and Information Science (LIS) literature, there is little focus on the intersection between professional and stigmatized social identities, particularly when it comes to race and gender. This study addresses the knowledge gap in LIS literature.

description: In this work, we reported uniform layer-by-layer sublimation of black phosphorus under heating below 600 K. The uniformity and crystallinity of BP samples after thermal thinning were confirmed by Raman spectra and 2D Raman imaging. A uniform and crystalline bilayer black phosphorus flake with an area of 180 um^2 was prepared with this method. No micron scale defects were observed. The sublimation rate of BP was around 0.18 nm / min at 500 K and 1.5 nm / min at 550 K. Both room and high temperature Raman peak intensity ratio Si/A2g vs. BP thickness relations were established for in-situ thickness determination. The sublimation thinning method was shown to be a controllable and scalable approach to prepare few-layer black phosphorus.

Where does the physics of extreme gravitational collapse reside?

description: The gravitational collapse of massive stars serves to manifest the most severe deviations of general relativity with respect to Newtonian gravity: the formation of horizons and spacetime singularities. Both features have proven to be catalysts of deep physical developments, especially when combined with the principles of quantum mechanics. Nonetheless, it is seldom remarked that it is hardly possible to combine all these developments into a unified theoretical model, while maintaining reasonable prospects for the independent experimental corroboration of its different parts. In this paper we review the current theoretical understanding of the physics of gravitational collapse in order to highlight this tension, stating the position that the standard view on evaporating black holes stands for. This serves as the motivation for the discussion of a recent proposal that offers the opposite perspective, represented by a set of geometries that regularize the classical singular behavior and present modifications of the near-horizon Schwarzschild geometry as the result of the propagation of non-perturbative ultraviolet effects originated in regions of high curvature. We present an extensive exploration of the necessary steps on the explicit construction of these geometries, and discuss how this proposal could change our present understanding of astrophysical black holes and even offer the possibility of detecting genuine ultraviolet effects on future gravitational wave experiments.

From the Kochen-Specker theorem to noncontextuality inequalities without assuming determinism

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Kochen-Specker theorem demonstrates that it is not possible to reproduce the predictions of quantum theory in terms of a hidden variable model where the hidden variables assign a value to every projector deterministically and noncontextually. A noncontextual value-assignment to a projector is one that does not depend on which other projectors - the context - are measured together with it. Using a generalization of the notion of noncontextuality that applies to both measurements and preparations, we propose a scheme for deriving inequalities that test whether a given set of experimental statistics is consistent with a noncontextual model. Unlike previous inequalities inspired by the Kochen-Specker theorem, we do not assume that the value-assignments are deterministic and therefore in the face of a violation of our inequality, the possibility of salvaging noncontextuality by abandoning determinism is no longer an option. Our approach is operational in the sense that it does not presume quantum theory: a violation of our inequality implies the impossibility of a noncontextual model for any operational theory that can account for the experimental observations, including any successor to quantum theory.

description: We report the first detection of linearly polarized emission at an observing wavelength of 350 $μ$m from the radio-loud Active Galactic Nucleus 3C 279. We conducted polarization observations for 3C 279 using the SHARP polarimeter in the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory on 2014 March 13 and 14. For the first time, we detected the linear polarization with the degree of polarization of 13.3\%$\pm$3.4\% ($3.9σ$) and the Electric Vector Position Angle (EVPA) of 34.7$^\circ\pm5.6^\circ$. We also observed 3C~279 simultaneously at 13, 7, and 3.5 mm in dual polarization with the Korean very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) Network on 2014 March 6 (single dish) and imaged in milliarcsecond (mas) scales at 13, 7, 3.5, and 2.3 mm on March 22 (VLBI). We found that the degree of linear polarization increases from 10\% to 13\% at 13 mm to 350 $μ$m and the EVPAs at all observing frequencies are parallel within $<10^\circ$ to the direction of the jet at mas scale, implying that the integrated magnetic fields are perpendicular to the jet in the innermost regions. We also found that the Faraday rotation measures RM are in a range of $-6.5\times10^2 \sim -2.7\times10^3$ rad m$^{-2}$ between 13 and 3.5 mm, and are scaled as a function of wavelength: $|{\rm RM}|\proptoλ^{-2.2}$. These results indicate that the mm and sub-mm polarization emission are generated in the compact jet within 1~mas scale and affected by a Faraday screen in or in the close proximity of the jet.

description: This study describes the results of a survey administered to a cohort of graduate students in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The survey was conducted to determine the extent of mentoring experienced by students prior to earning their professional degrees. Most students surveyed believed they received mentoring while enrolled, with a majority of students having more than one mentor. Mentors were generally either faculty members or people encountered at the workplace. Relationships tended to develop naturally over time rather than being assigned or sought out by either partner. More students earning the MSLS had mentors than did those earning the MSIS, and proportionally more females than males had mentors. Nearly all felt the mentoring experience was beneficial, and most want to mentor others in the future.
F-theory and 2d (0,2) Theories

description: F-theory compactified on singular, elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau five-folds gives rise to two-dimensional gauge theories preserving N=(0,2) supersymmetry. In this paper we initiate the study of such compactifications and determine the dictionary between the geometric data of the elliptic fibration and the 2d gauge theory such as the matter content in terms of (0,2) superfields and their supersymmetric couplings. We study this setup both from a gauge-theoretic point of view, in terms of the partially twisted 7-brane theory, and provide a global geometric description based on the structure of the elliptic fibration and its singularities. Global consistency conditions are determined and checked against the dual M-theory compactification to one dimension. This includes a discussion of gauge anomalies, the structure of the Green-Schwarz terms and the Chern-Simons couplings in the dual M-theory supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Furthermore, by interpreting the resulting 2d (0,2) theories as heterotic worldsheet theories, we propose a correspondence between the geometric data of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau five-folds and the target space of a heterotic gauged linear sigma-model (GLSM). In particular the correspondence between the Landau-Ginsburg and sigma-model phase of a 2d (0,2) GLSM is realized via different T-branes or gluing data in F-theory.

description: Age, metallicity and spatial distribution of globular clusters (GCs) provide a powerful tool to reconstruct major star-formation episodes in galaxies. IKN is a faint dwarf spheroidal (dSph) in the M81 group of galaxies. It contains five old GCs, which makes it the galaxy with the highest known specific frequency (SN=126). We estimate the photometric age, metallicity and spatial distribution of the poorly studied IKN GCs. We search SDSS for GC candidates beyond the HST field of view, which covers half of IKN. To break the age-metallicity degeneracy in the V-I colour we use WHT/LIRIS Ks-band photometry and derive photometric ages and metallicities by comparison with SSP models in the V,I,Ks colour space. IKN GCs' VIKs colours are consistent with old ages ($\geq\!8$ Gyr) and a metallicity distribution with a higher mean than typical for such a dSph ([Fe/H$]\!\simeq\!-1.4_{-0.2}^{+0.6}$ dex). Their photometric masses range ($0.5

description: In a two node tandem network, customers decide to join or balk by maximizing a given profit function whose costs are proportional to the sojourn time they spend at each queue. Assuming that their choices are taken without knowing the complete state of the system, we show that a pure threshold equilibrium policy exists. In particular we analyze the case when the partial information consists in informing the arrival customers of the total number of users in the network.

description: The principles of Agile software development promote interactions over tools, but practical application of Agile can demand a considerable amount of structure from software development teams. Vendor software solutions specifically designed for Agile work offer an alternative for many organizations still using manual methods or ill-fitted tools.  In this study, we examined task-tool fit between functionality provided by a vetted Agile software solution, and tasks needing to be accomplished by software development teams practicing Agile Scrum methods. A high level of task-tool fit was determined for tasks within several Scrum summary activities. Also evaluated was task-tool fit impact on actual performance of Scrum teams. Quantitative metrics demonstrated an average overall increase in performance after tool implementation for accomplishment of tasks within two Scrum summary activities being measured (Sprint Planning and Sprint Execution). It is suggested this performance improvement can be generally attributed to the determined high level of task-tool fit.
Suppression of nano-channel ion conductance by electro-osmotic flow in nano-channels with weakly overlapping electrical double layers

description: This theoretical study investigates the nonlinear ionic current-voltage characteristics of nano-channels that have weakly overlapping electrical double layers. Numerical simulations as well as a 1-D mathematical model are developed to reveal that the electro-osmotic flow (EOF) interplays with the concentration-polarization process and depletes the ion concentration inside the channels, thus significantly suppressing the channel conductance. The conductance may be restored at high electrical biases in the presence of recirculating vortices within the channels. As a result of the EOF-driven ion depletion, a limiting-conductance behavior is identified, which is intrinsically different from the classical limiting-current behavior.
Pädagogisches Change Management? Eine konstruktivistische Perspektive auf Wandlungsprozesse in Unternehmen
Creators: name: Stender, Birga
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 370

description: Wandel ist für Unternehmen zunehmend Normalität statt Ausnahmesituation. Die gute Gestaltung von Veränderungsprozessen wird deshalb wichtig für den langfristigen Geschäftserfolg. In der Arbeit wird untersucht, inwieweit ein „Change Management“ unter pädagogischer Perspektive dazu beitragen kann, oftmals auftretende Widerstände produktiv zu nutzen und Veränderungsprozesse erfolgreich zu gestalten. Unter Bezugnahme auf den pädagogischen Konstruktivismus werden drei Bereiche als besonders bedeutsam dafür identifiziert: 1.) die Gestaltung der Kommunikation in Veränderungsprozessen, 2.) die Anregung von individuellen und organisationalen Lern- und Entwicklungsprozessen sowie 3.) die Grundhaltung derjenigen Personen, die Veränderungsprozesse in Unternehmen begleiten. Es werden mehrere Ansatzpunkte diskutiert, wie eine konstruktivistisch orientierte Herangehensweise die Offenheit der Akteure fördert, ihre Wahrnehmungsfähigkeit für unterschiedliche Perspektiven und Wirklichkeitskonstruktionen stärkt und individuelle Entwicklungsprozesse sowie das Aushandeln gemeinsamer Perspektiven anregt. Zusammenfassend wird die Einschätzung getroffen, dass eine konstruktivistisch-pädagogische Perspektive bestehende Change Management-Konzepte fruchtbar ergänzen kann. Die Komplexität von Veränderungsprozessen kann umfassender betrachtet werden und die Berücksichtigung individueller Wirklichkeitskonstruktionen sowie die Begleitung selbstgesteuerter Lernprozessen erleichtern Organisationsberater(inne)n die Implementierungsarbeit.
