description: Das kumulative Promotionsvorhaben beschäftigt sich in international vergleichender Perspektive mit der Qualifizierung von Dienstleistungsstandorten der urbanen Peripherie. Dazu werden drei Beispielregionen aus Deutschland (Frankfurt am Main), der Schweiz (Zürich) und den USA (Boston) betrachtet und abschließend zusammenfassend dargestellt. Im Zuge zunehmender Regionalisierungstendenzen großer Metropolregionen zu polycentric urban regions (Kloosterman & Musterd 2001; Meijers 2005) oder megacity regions (Hall & Pain 2009) haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten Standorte in suburbanen Lagen ausgebildet, die als neue Zentralitäten zu einer Dekonzentration von Unternehmensaktivitäten hin zu polyzentrischen stadtregionalen Strukturen (Burdack & Hesse 2006) geführt haben. Dazu zählen Technologie- und Officeparks, Dienstleistungs- und Bürostandorte, Science Cities und Airport Cities. Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Entstehungszeiten, den spezifischen Rahmenbedingungen der Entwicklung in verschiedenen Kommunen und unterschiedlichen Formen der Projektentwicklung haben sich jeweils differenzierte städtebauliche Qualitäten und Standortfaktoren herausgebildet. Insbesondere für suburbane Business Standorte lassen sich unterschiedliche Trends in Bezug auf Nutzungsmischung, Bautypologien und öffentlichem Raum feststellen, die je nach Lage und Kontext der Standorte aber sehr unterschiedlich ausfallen. Die empirischen Ergebnisse dieser Fallbeispiele zeigen Ähnlichkeiten in den räumlichen Strukturen von suburbanen Dienstleistungsstandorten, obwohl Planungsgesetze, -kultur und Planungskompetenzen öffentlicher Institutionen und privater Akteure zwischen Deutschland, den USA und der Schweiz sehr unterschiedlich sind.

description: This study explores the biogeography of flowering plants in the American West. We examine the biogeography of both the low elevation, largely xeric-adapted Gaillardia (Asteraceae) that radiated out of the Chihuahuan Desert and two clades of the cool-adapted Synthyris (Plantaginaceae) that diversified in mountain environments. We examine evolutionary processes concerning range shifts and consider how climate changes have influenced the distribution of organisms in the American West. We used phylogeny reconstructions based on DNA sequences from nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers and plastid trnT-trnF regions to infer sister group relationships and identify the geographic origin and avenues of range expansion in North American Gaillardia. Phylogenetic analyses recovered three previously hypothesized sections and well supported clades associated with particular geographic regions. Dispersal-Vicariance Analysis reconstructed a Chihuahuan Desert origin and major range expansions eastward into central Texas and along the Gulf Coast, northwest into Arizona and the Intermountain region, and northward onto the Great Plains and along the Rocky Mountains.; We used phylogeography to infer modes of speciation and migration patterns in two clades of Synthyris. The Southern Rocky Mountain clade of S. sect. Besseya is distributed in the Southern Rocky Mountains and S. sect. Dissecta is centered in the Northern Rocky Mountains with Olympic Mountains disjuncts. Both clades have species currently restricted to high elevation interglacial refugia. We used plastid DNA trnT-trnL and psbA-trnH intergenic spacer sequences to infer haplotypes for phylogeographic analyses. Haplotype distributions in both clades were consistent with broad scale gene flow in their ancestral lineages with subsequent random capture of haplotypes in widespread populations. Disjunctions in both sections were likely caused by fragmentation of formerly widespread populations. Genetic signatures were consistent with widespread migration in the southern clade especially in the lower elevation species, whereas we found evidence of more isolation in S. sect. Dissecta. In both clades we found evidence consistent with speciation following peripheral isolation, and in the southern clade we find evidence consistent with a hypothesis of allopolyploid speciation. We infer that Pleistocene glaciations played an important role in species origins and shaping extant distributions in alpine Synthyris.

Unions and the Immigrant-Native-born Wage Gap in Canada
Creators: name: Qiu, Chun
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Using microdata from the Labour Force Survey from November 2017 to October 2018, this paper investigates the differences in unionization rates between native-born, old immigrants, and new immigrants in Canada. The research is also interested in investigating union effects on hourly wage gaps between native-born and immigrants. The results show that native-born employees have higher unionization rates than old immigrants and new immigrants and that old immigrants are more likely to be unionized than new immigrants. The results for wages illustrates that hourly wage gaps between immigrants and the native-born become larger if they both join a union. However, if immigrants join a union but the native-born do not, the wage gap decreases. Finally, other human capital characteristics like education level, province, and establishment size have similar effects on unionization rates and hourly wages for native-born, old immigrants, and new immigrants.

description: We analyse the $n$-dimensional superintegrable Kepler-Coulomb system with non-central terms. We find a novel underlying chain structure of quadratic algebras formed by the integrals of motion. We identify the elements for each sub-structure and obtain the algebra relations satisfied by them and the corresponding Casimir operators. These quadratic sub-algebras are realized in terms of a chain of deformed oscillators with factorized structure functions. We construct the finite-dimensional unitary representations of the deformed oscillators, and give an algebraic derivation of the energy spectrum of the superintegrable system.

Para ello, se pretende demostrar tres afirmaciones basilares. La primera que el ejercicio de control político es la función primordial por parte del Congreso en situaciones de anormalidad; la segunda, la falta de institucionalización normativa de los controles políticos ha decantado en la inaplicación normativa y la perdida de competencias más allá del enfoque teleológico del control político; Y tercero que las mutaciones al régimen presidencial son producto de la falta de actualización de las modalidades de control y por tanto para garantizar la centralidad de la acción política es necesario modificar el concepto de control utilizado actualmente. Para finalmente plantear recomendaciones para fortalecer los mecanismos de control y garantizar su eficacia, eficiencia y oportunidad.
description: The goal of this monograph is to evidence the lack of operability in the exercise of political control in the framework of the State of Economic, Social and Ecological Emergency and to seek solutions to the crisis of representativeness of the Congress, in order to recover political centrality in the deliberative and control exercises. Therefore, is intended to demonstrate three fundamental assertions. First, in situation of abnormality, the political control exercise is the primary function of the Congress; second, lack of normative institutionalization of political controls has led to the inapplication of norms and loss of competencies beyond teleological scope of political control; And third, Presidential Regime mutations are caused by lack of an update in modalities of control, so, in order to guarantee the centrality of political action, it is necessary to modify the current concept of control. Finally, recommendations are made to improve control mechanisms and guarantee their effectiveness, efficiency and timeliness.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Investigating the ancient hydrologic cycle is, therefore, a key to fully understand terrestrial climate and environmental changes, and to evaluate their variability in the future. Because precipitation patterns are largely affected by regional topography and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns, this study aims to reconstruct Cenozoic hydrologic patterns in the Pacific Northwest in order to evaluate topographic evolution of the Cascade Range and the Blue Mountains, and the late Quaternary climate and environmental changes in response to the last glaciation.

Second, because of magmatic activity associated with eruptions of the mid-Miocene Columbia River Basalt Group, the presence of a pronounced paleotopography of the Blue Mountains induced the spatial variations in the paleopedogenesis and paleoclimate patterns. Third, due to changes in the atmospheric circulation patterns related to the presence and absence of a glacial anticyclone during the late Quaternary, seasonal precipitation patterns in the inland

Using economic empowerment as a tool to increase women’s resilience to climate change and disasters
Creators: name: Adhikari, Sawadee
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: As the effects of climate change continue to intensify, it is important to acknowledge that women disproportionately suffer the impacts. This is due to existing inequalities and multidimensional social factors in many developing countries, such as the unequal distribution of roles, resources and power. These barriers prevent women from being able to fully participate in economic activities and thus they are unable to be empowered economically, which is one of the prerequisites to enhance resiliency to cope with climate variability and change. This paper explores how increasing access to certain economic tools, such as access to credit, access to market and access to climate information, can empower and position women to better manage the effects of climate change on their livelihoods as well as those of their families and communities. Access to credit, markets, and climate information were among the most cited in literature as being the main barriers for women to fully participate in local-level economic and income generating activities. This paper defines the concepts of women’s economic empowerment and climate resiliency by drawing on literature and when linked together, these two concepts are a necessary step to take in the fight against climate change to build women’s resilience. The analysis concluded that access to credit builds resiliency of women by providing them with the financial capacity to adapt to and cope with climate shocks; accessing markets ensures that women are able to sell their products for a fair price and thus are able to generate higher income to sustain their livelihoods in the face of climate change; and receiving timely and accurate climate information empowers women to make informed decisions related to agricultural activities and avoid loss of income in light of unpredictable climate and weather-related events at the local level.

description: This technical report introduces the next generation of the Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE) methodology, OCTAVE Allegro. OCTAVE Allegro is a methodology to streamline and optimize the process of assessing information security risks so that an organization can obtain sufficient results with a small investment in time, people, and other limited resources. It leads the organization to consider people, technology, and facilities in the context of their relationship to information and the business processes and services they support. This report highlights the design considerations and requirements for OCTAVE Allegro based on field experience with existing OCTAVE methods and provides guidance, worksheets, and examples that an organization can use to begin performing OCTAVE Allegro-based risk assessments.
Spectroscopic Observations of the Mass Donor Star in SS 433

description: The microquasar SS 433 is an interacting massive binary consisting of an evolved mass donor and a compact companion that ejects relativistic jets. The mass donor was previously identified through spectroscopic observations of absorption lines in the blue part of the spectrum that showed Doppler shifts associated with orbital motion and strength variations related to the orbital modulation of the star-to-disk flux ratio and to disk obscuration. However, subsequent observations revealed other absorption features that lacked these properties and that were probably formed in the disk gas outflow. We present here follow-up observations of SS 433 at orbital and precession phases identical to those from several previous studies with the goals of confirming the detection of the mass donor spectrum and providing more reliable masses for the two system components. We show that the absorption features present as well as those previously observed almost certainly belong to the mass donor star, and we find revised masses of 12.3 +/- 3.3 and 4.3 +/- 0.8 M(sun) for the mass donor and compact object, respectively.

Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is a large information technology consulting, services, and business process outsourcing organization interested in reducing the costs of conducting process improvement appraisals at its multiple locations. TCS initiated a pilot to determine whether appraisals could be performed at the enterprise level instead of at each location or center while preserving the integrity of the Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement V1.1 (SCAMPI V1.1). The pilot was also used to determine whether a single type of appraisal could be effective in an organization compliant with multiple models. A pilot Class A SCAMPI appraisal for the People Capability Maturity Model (People CMM) was performed jointly with a Class A SCAMPI appraisal for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) across TCS in 2004. This report includes the draft interpretation guide used for four mini-appraisal pilots and the final enterprise-wide Class A appraisal at TCS. The information in this report could serve as an example for other organizations and is fully applicable to any size SCAMPI appraisal with People CMM.
Vertical Shearing Instabilities in Radially Shearing Disks: The Dustiest Layers of the Protoplanetary Nebula
Creators: name: Chiang, E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gravitational instability of a vertically thin, dusty sheet near the midplane of a protoplanetary disk has long been proposed as a way of forming planetesimals. Before Roche densities can be achieved, however, the dust-rich layer, sandwiched from above and below by more slowly rotating dust-poor gas, threatens to overturn and mix by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). Whether such a threat is real has never been demonstrated: the Richardson criterion for the KHI is derived for 2-D Cartesian shear flow and does not account for rotational forces. Here we present 3-D numerical simulations of gas-dust mixtures in a shearing box, accounting for the full suite of disk-related forces: the Coriolis and centrifugal forces, and radial tidal gravity. Dust particles are assumed small enough to be perfectly entrained in gas; the two fluids share the same velocity field but obey separate continuity equations. We find that the Richardson number Ri does not alone determine stability. The critical value of Ri below which the dust layer overturns and mixes depends on the height-integrated metallicity Z (surface density ratio of dust to gas). Nevertheless, for Z between one and five times solar, the critical Ri is nearly constant at 0.1. Keplerian radial shear stabilizes those modes that would otherwise disrupt the layer at large Ri. If Z is at least 5 times greater than the solar value of 0.01, then midplane dust densities can approach Roche densities. Such an environment might be expected to produce gas giant planets having similarly super-solar metallicities.

Low-Scale Seesaw and the CP Violation in Neutrino Oscillations

description: We consider a version of the low-scale type I seesaw mechanism for generating small neutrino masses, as an alternative to the standard seesaw scenario. It involves two right-handed (RH) neutrinos $ν_{1R}$ and $ν_{2R}$ having a Majorana mass term with mass $M$, which conserves the lepton charge $L$. The RH neutrino $ν_{2R}$ has lepton-charge conserving Yukawa couplings $g_{\ell 2}$ to the lepton and Higgs doublet fields, while small lepton-charge breaking effects are assumed to induce tiny lepton-charge violating Yukawa couplings $g_{\ell 1}$ for $ν_{1R}$, $l=e,μ,τ$. In this approach the smallness of neutrino masses is related to the smallness of the Yukawa coupling of $ν_{1R}$ and not to the large value of $M$: the RH neutrinos can have masses in the few GeV to a few TeV range. The Yukawa couplings $|g_{\ell 2}|$ can be much larger than $|g_{\ell 1}|$, of the order $|g_{\ell 2}| \sim 10^{-4} - 10^{-2}$, leading to interesting low-energy phenomenology. We consider a specific realisation of this scenario within the Froggatt-Nielsen approach to fermion masses. In this model the Dirac CP violation phase $δ$ is predicted to have approximately one of the values $δ\simeq π/4,\, 3π/4$, or $5π/4,\, 7π/4$, or to lie in a narrow interval around one of these values. The low-energy phenomenology of the considered low-scale seesaw scenario of neutrino mass generation is also briefly discussed.

Subjects: School principals -- Job satisfaction

description: Expanding expectations for student achievement and the demands arising out of the numerous daily tasks for which principals are responsible have led to several research studies on stress and burnout in the principalship. Among the job duties of today's school principals are meeting the needs of students, parents, teachers, support staff, community members, and administration. They must be managers overseeing the daily operations of a school. A few of these daily operations include scheduling, budgeting, reporting safety, dealing with disruptions, handling student discipline, and addressing parent concerns. The research on principals' experience with stress and burnout in this increasingly demanding environment exists. However, there is little research that focuses on the experience of school principals who are successful and remain hopeful, positive, and persist in the job. Further, there is little research that focuses on utilizing the construct of professional vitality (Harvey, 2002) to increase our understanding of the personal characteristics that principals possess which enable them persist in the job in the midst of this challenging profession.; The purpose of this study was to learn about the practices of nine school principals in their role as school leaders and their perspectives on dealing with the daily challenges of their jobs. Open-ended, semi-structured interviews were used as the method for collecting the data. Further, the study sought to expand on the study by Harvey (2002), which focused on professional vitality as a construct for understanding what may contribute to school principals' ability to thrive and therefore, persist in their jobs. Analysis of the data revealed that persistent, successful principals deal with various stressors inherent in the job of school principal. Further, the data illustrated that substantial stress is due to time constraints and accountability demands. The data also showed that the qualities of professional vitality: vigor, passion, facility, and job satisfaction can be used to describe how these principals view their experience in the principalship; and thus, may contribute to their persistence.

description: Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) provides a framework for improving the processes organizations use to develop and deliver products for their customers. The process improvement concepts embedded in CMMI are based upon sound process management principles used in manufacturing communities for years. These principles have been successfully applied in software and systems engineering process improvement, and are codified for product development in CMMI. This technical note details how operational organizations that perform a variety of missions can benefit from the concepts in CMMI to improve the processes and effectiveness of mission operations.

description: We study vacuum and thermal expectation values of quantum scalar and Dirac fermion fields on anti-de Sitter space-time. Anti-de Sitter space-time is maximally symmetric and this enables expressions for the scalar and fermion vacuum Feynman Green's functions to be derived in closed form. We employ Hadamard renormalization to find the vacuum expectation values. The thermal Feynman Green's functions are constructed from the vacuum Feynman Green's functions using the imaginary time periodicity/anti-periodicity property for scalars/fermions. Focussing on massless fields with either conformal or minimal coupling to the space-time curvature (these two cases being the same for fermions) we compute the differences between the thermal and vacuum expectation values. We compare the resulting energy densities, pressures and pressure deviators with the corresponding classical quantities calculated using relativistic kinetic theory.

description: The free electron Kondo problem can be described by a one-dimensional (1D) model because only the s-wave part of the electronic wave-function is affected by the Kondo coupling. Since only the spin degrees of freedom are involved in the Kondo interaction, and due to spin-charge separation in 1D, the universal low energy long distance physics of the Kondo model also arises when a magnetic impurity is coupled to the end of a gap-less antiferromagnetic J_1-J_2 spin-1/2 chain, where J_1(J_2) is the (next-)nearest neighbor coupling. Experimental realizations of such spin chain models are possible and using various analytical and numerical techniques, we present a detailed and quantitative comparison between the usual free electron Kondo model and such spin chain versions of the Kondo problem. For the gap-less J_1-J_2 spin chain two cases are studied, with zero next nearest neighbor coupling, J_2=0, and with a critical second neighbor coupling, J_2=J_2c. We first focus on the spin chain impurity model at J_2c~0.2412 where a bulk marginal coupling present in the spin chain model for J_2

Size effects and deformation mechanisms in nanoscale metallic multilayered composites

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Metallic composites -- Mechanical properties

description: In this work, size effects and deformation mechanisms in nanoscale metallic multilayered (NMM) composites were studied. Existing models for the prediction of the dependence of strength of NMM composites on the individual layer thickness do not capture the experimentally observed dependence. Dislocation interactions have been suggested as a significant contributor to this discrepancy. Due to the complexity and multiplicity of dislocation interaction in real systems, the study started by examining the hardening effect and implications on the dislocation structure of two known-to-be significant dislocation interactions in NMM composites. The first is the interaction between a threading dislocation and orthogonally intersection interfacial dislocations. Dislocation dynamics (DD) analysis was employed and it was found that the strongest interaction occurs when the interacting dislocations are collinear and involves annihilation reactions and the formation of 90o dislocation bends at the interfaces, as commonly observed in experiments. The strength predictions indicate a strengthen increase of about 50%; however, they do not follow the experimentally observed trend. The second interaction to study was that between a threading dislocation and parallel interfacial dislocations. A semi-analytical energetic approach was employed and it was found that parallel interactions can lead to softening effect, as well as hardening effect depending on the relative sign of the Burgers vector of the threading and the parallel dislocations. It was also found that when the Burgers vectors are collinear, the interaction is stronger. A comparison with the measured strength of real multilayered system shows that accounting for parallel interactions improves the strength predictions for an isolated glide dislocation, however that does not offer answers regarding the observed strength saturation when the individual layer thickness in the few nanometer range. Finally, largescale DD simulations of NMM composites were performed. Such simulations naturally accounts for all the possible and complex interactions in a real system. The strength predictions of such simulations are in better qualitative agreement with experimental trends than any of the unit process. Nevertheless, more work is needed to validate the results by investigating different relaxation models to accomplish the initial dislocations structure used in subsequent loading. The simulations were also valuable in identifying dislocation mechanisms which can take place during the deformation.
