title: Die Verwendung einer Fremdsprache als Arbeitssprache: Charakteristika 'bilingualen' Lernens in Österreich
Creators: name: Abuja, Gunther
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Ziel dieses Beitrages ist es, einen Überblick zu der Entwicklung des Einsatzes einer Fremdsprache als Arbeitssprache im österreichischen Schulwesen zu geben. Dabei soll eingangs bemerkt werden, dass diese Entwicklung zu Beginn der neunziger Jahre durchaus von mehreren Stellen gleichzeitig ausging und damit eine Gesamtübersicht hinsichtlich des 'bilingualen' Lehrens und Lernens in österreichischen Schulen nicht so einfach zu verfassen ist. Daher spiegeln die folgenden Ausführungen die Veränderungen, wie sie sich für den Autor in den letzten Jahren dargestellt haben, wider.

description: Im Frühjahr 2020 kommt es wegen des neuen Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 und der damit verbundenen neuen Krankheit COVID-19 zu einer Pandemie. Mit dem Bestreben, einen Kollaps des Gesundheitssystems zu vermeiden, ergreifen die betroffenen Staaten drastische Massnahmen, welche die Freiheiten der Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner stark einschränken. Ob die epidemische Welle in einem kontrollierbaren Umfang gehalten werden kann, hängt vom Verhalten der Bevölkerung ab. Diese analytische Fallstudie befasst sich in einer spieltheoretischen Betrachtung auf der Grundlage des Gefangenendilemmas mit dem Verhalten der Menschen während der epidemischen Krise.

Pyrolysis and photolysis of cis and trans-3, 5-dimethyl-3-acetyl-delta1-pyrazoline and cis and trans-3,5-dimethyl-3-carbomethoxy-delta1-pyrazoline.

description: The thermal and photolytic decomposition of cis and trans_-3,5-dimethyl-3-acetyl-Δ¹-pyrazoline have been found to give six products. They have been separated and identified as 2,3,5-trimethyl-Δ²-dihydrofuran, cis and trans-1,2-dimethyl-1- acetyleyclopropane, cis and trans-3-methyl-3-hexen-2-one and 3-methyl-4-hexen-2-one. The formation of cyclopropanes by photolysis showed some degree of stereospecifIcity. Both pyrolysis and photolysis yielded olefins with high degree of stereospecificity. 2,3,5-TrImethyl-Δ²-dihydrofuran was a major product from the decomposition of cis-3,5-dimethyl-3-acetyl-Δ¹ -pyrazoline only. Pyrolysis gave a higher ratio of olefins to cyclopropanes than photolysis. These decomposition reactions gave results analogous to those of cis and trans-3,5-dimethyl-3-carbomethoxy-Δ¹-pyrazoline. The product compositions from both the pyrolysis and photolysis of cis and trans_-3,5-dimethyl-3-carbomethoxy-Δ¹-pyrazoline have been found to show a small and regular influence of the solvent and this has been related to the dielectric constant of the solvent. Pyrolysis and photolysis gave an olefin to cyclopropane ratio of 57:43 and 21:79, respectively, in formamide, and 7:93 and 5:95, respectively, in cyclohexane. A small kinetic solvent effect has been observed for the pyrolysis of 3,5-dimethyl-3-carboraethoxy-Δ¹-pyrazoline. The rate of pyrolysis as followed by the rate of nitrogen evolution has been found to decrease for the following series of solvents: dl-n-butyl ether, tetralin, nitrobenzene and form-amide. These rates were all within a factor of three. The absence of rate enhancement in a solvent of high dielectric constant has been used as an argument against an ionic Intermediate in these reactions. Liquid phase photolysis of trans-3,5-dimethyl-3-carbo- methoxy-Δ¹-pyrazolIne at various temperatures ranging from -55ᵒ to 58ᵒ did not show appreciable change in the product compositions attributable to the influence of temperature. The solvent temperature therefore does not affect the amount of quenching of any "hot" intermediate. Photolysis and pyrolysis of cis and trans-3,5-dimethy1-3-carbomethoxy-Δ¹ -pyrazoline under identical conditions did not give the same product composition. This suggested the two reactions do not have a common Intermediate. No isomerization between the cis and trans-3,5-dimethyl-3-carbomethoxy-Δ¹-pyrazolines has been observed as shown by the partial pyrolysis and photolysis of the trans-pyrazoline. These results are discussed In view of current mechanistlc proposals for the pyrolysis and photolysis of Δ¹-pyrazolines.

description: Conventional literacy is important for academic and life success. Emergent literacy is a precursor to conventional literacy, and parent-child book read ing experiences can foster emergent literacy development. Fathers are important figures in children's development and may make important contributions to their emergent literacy development.
This study observed 179 fathers from families who participated in research evaluating the Bear River Early Head Start program. Father-child book reading was videotaped as part of a 10-minute observation session in each child 's home at 14 months, 24 months, 36 months, and pre- kindergarten (age 4 or 5). Book reading observation sessions were coded based on parental strategies (i.e. language and behaviors) used during book reading. Pre-kindergarten observation sessions were transcribed for a measure of children's oral language. Children were tested in their homes at prekindergarten with measures of phonological processing, receptive vocabulary, and concepts of print. Regression analyses investigated the individual impact of book reading strategies on outcomes and the impact of strategies over time (cumulative). Findings revealed certain individual strategies had more impact than cumulative strategies, which was contrary to the hypotheses. The most positive cumulative impact was time spent during book reading. Overall, receptive vocabulary was the emergent literacy domain most strongly predicted by father book read ing strategies, and cumulative time spent book reading was the strategy that predicted emergent literacy outcomes most consistently.

Es handelt sich hier um eine einführende Bestandsaufnahme und einen Vergleich unter der besonderen Berücksichtigung der bildungspolitischen und didaktischen Aspekte. Um diesen Vergleich anzustellen, muss zunächst konkretisiert werden, was man einerseits unter dem Begriff 'Zivilisation' und 'Kultur' in Deutschland und in der Türkei versteht, und wie sich andererseits interkulturelles Lernen und Unterrichtsinhalte zueinander verhalten. Zunächst werden die Begriffe 'Zivilisation' und 'Kultur' erläutert.

description: Der Begriff der Interaktion, der auf der in diesem Band dokumentierten 20. Frühjahrskonferenz zur Erforschung des Fremdsprachenunterrichts zur Debatte steht, hat sich in den letzten Jahren sowohl in der fremdsprachlichen Forschung als auch in der unterrichtlichen Praxis eingebürgert.[1] Dabei wurde der sozialwissenschaftliche Hintergrund des Begriffs um disziplinenübergreifende Faktoren erweitert, die einerseits diverse Problemperspektivierungen in empirischer sowie methodisch-didaktischer Hinsicht ermöglichen, andererseits aber, nicht selten als ‚Nebeneffekte‘, zu einer gewissen Verschwommenheit der mit ‚Interaktion‘ gemeinten Wirklichkeit beitragen können. In diesem Sinne orientierten sich die Leitfragen der Konferenz an drei Aspekten. Zum einen sollten die TeilnehmerInnen ihre Auffassung von Interaktion sowie deren Relation zu fremdsprachenunterrichtlichen Kommunikationsprozessen darlegen: zum anderen erhob sich die Frage, welche unterrichtlichen Konzepte für die Erforschung dieses Faktors geeignet sind. Schließlich ging es um spezifische praxis- und empiriegeleitete Erkenntnisse, die sich in einer Gesamtperspektive des Lehrens und Lernens fremder Sprachen betrachten lassen. Den Hauptteil des Buches bilden die überarbeiteten Statements der 34 Teilnehmer(innen), die wir im Folgenden überblickartig darstellen möchten.

description: Dass das Erlernen einer fremden Sprache mit dem lernenden und verstehenden Zugang zu einer fremden Kultur einher geht, darüber besteht heute in allen Fremdsprachenwissenschaften wohl weitgehend Konsens. Probleme der ‚interkulturellen Kommunikation‘, des ‚interkulturellen Lernens‘ und des ‚Kulturverstehens‘ gehören daher seit einigen Jahren zum Standardprogramm dieser Wissenschaften in Forschung und Lehre, ohne dass man sich über den Kernbegriff, von dem alle diese Benennungen ja Gebrauch machen, den Begriff der Kultur nämlich, allzu viel Gedanken machen würde. So herrscht in den Fremdsprachendisziplinen bis heute ein in aller Regel wenig reflektierter Gebrauch jenes pluralisierten und auf prinzipiell alle Gesellschaftsformationen verallgemeinerten ethnologischen Begriffs vor, wonach ‚Kultur‘ insbesondere die Gesamtheit der Lebensweise eines Kollektivs oder einer Gesellschaft meint. Die Gesellschaften oder Kollektive, auf die ‚Kultur‘ in diesem Sinn bezogen wird, werden dabei meist ohne Weiteres mit Nationen bzw. Staatsgesellschaften identifiziert, denen auch meist eine bestimmte Sprache zugeordnet werden kann
title: The Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Adolescent Deviant Behavior
Creators: name: Lance, Jennifer R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: This thesis summarizes a study conducted to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and adolescent deviancy. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the relation between 1) overall emotional intelligence plus its subscales and overall normative deviant behavior, and 2) emotional intelligence subscales and subscales of a deviancy measure. Tapia's Emotional Intelligence Inventory (Eli) and Vazsonyi's Normative Deviancy Scale (NDS) were used to measure the two variables of this study. Subjects included 152 high school students, aged 14-18, from a small city in Northern Utah. One hundred seventeen students came from a local high school comprising grades 10-12 and a junior high school comprising grade 9. The remaining 35 students attended an alternative high school, which comprised grades 9-12. Findings reveal that overall emotional intelligence was not correlated with overall deviant behavior. Two subscales of Eli, handling relationships and self-control, were statistically significant in relation to the vandalism, general deviance, and assault subscales of the NDS. Results may be contingent on the type of sample obtained and testing procedures. Further research is needed to validate these fin dings.

description: We consider the particle spectrum and event shapes in large N gauge theories in different regimes of the short-distance 't Hooft coupling, lambda. The mesons in the small lambda limit should have a Regge spectrum in order to agree with perturbation theory, while generically the large lambda theories with gravity duals produce spectra reminiscent of KK modes. We argue that these KK-like states are qualitatively different from QCD modes: they are deeply bound states which are sensitive to short distance interactions rather than the flux tube-like states expected in asymptotically free, confining gauge theories. In addition, we also find that the characteristic event shapes for the large lambda theories with gravity duals are close to spherical, very different from QCD-like (small lambda, small N) and Nambu-Goto-like (small lambda, large N) theories which have jets. This observation is in agreement with the conjecture of Strassler on event shapes in large 't Hooft coupling theories, which was recently proved by Hofman and Maldacena for the conformal case. This conclusion does not change even when considering soft-wall backgrounds in the gravity dual. The picture that emerges is the following: theories with small and large lambda are qualitatively different, while theories with small and large N are qualitatively similar. Thus it seems that it is the relative smallness of the 't Hooft coupling in QCD that prevents a reliable AdS/QCD correspondence from emerging, and that reproducing characteristic QCD-like behavior will require genuine stringy dynamics to be incorporated into any putative dual theory.

description: The problem of targeted financing of economic sectors is considered. The method of targeted financing of sectors of the economy through investment in innovative development is proposed. On the basis of statistical data on the performance indicators of the sectors of the economy, the calculation of indicators of their innovative potential was carried out, based on the volume of sold innovative products (goods, services) by type of economic activity. In order to stimulate sectors of the economy by investing in innovative development, it is proposed to introduce targeted financing of the latter. The problem of quantitative assessment of targeted financing of economic sectors by means of investment in innovative development based on an integrated approach has been solved. According to the results obtained, sectors of the economy that are identified as the most risky and have the potential for innovative development fall under targeted financing. The proposed technique was tested by an experimental method. On the basis of an integrated approach for the indicators of the riskiness of the economic sector and the indicator of the innovative potential of the economic sector, targeted financing for 3 sectors of the economy (namely: P, N, M, L and J) was determined. Sector P will receive more targeted funding, while sectors N, M, L and J will receive less targeted funding, respectively. The size of these parts will be 47.30 %, 22.31 %, 13.48 %, 9.56 % and 7.34 %, respectively, of 100 % S. The results of the study are of practical interest for government bodies (local, territorial, etc.) in the distribution of funds according to the vector of targeted financing of sectors of the economy through investment in innovative development. Practically valuable for researchers who deal with issues of financial security, targeted financing and public administration.
Total synthesis of certain hydrochrysene analogues
Creators: name: Inaba, Tadanobu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A sequence leading to the total synthesis of certain derivatives in the 11, 12-seco (see XXIV) and 5, 6-seco hydro-chrysene (see XXXI) series is described. The synthesis employs in its initial stages the Robinson-Mannich base reaction and the Michael condensation reaction to construct the parent tetracyclic skeleton. Condensation of 6-methoxy-2-tetralone with 1-diethylamino-3-pentanone methiodide produced an isomeric mixture of tricyclic ketones. This mixture was then condensed with methyl vinyl ketone to yield a tetracyclic ketol (XII) which in turn was converted to the tetracyclic ketone (XIII) by reaction with sodium methoxide. By appropriate modifications, this latter substance may then be utilized for the synthesis of a variety of hydrochrysene analogues. Oxidation of trans-anti-trans-2-methoxy-8β-acetoxy-10a -methyl-4b, 5, 6, 6a, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10a, 10b, 11, 12-dodecahydrochrysene (XVI) with t-butyl chromate solution gave not only the 12-keto derivative (XIX), but the 5-keto octahydrochrysene analogue (XX) as well as small amounts of the octahydrochrysene (XVII) and the hexahydrochrysene analogue (XVIII). The olefinic bond at the 11, 12 position of ring C (XXII) was introduced by reduction of the 12-keto derivative (XIX) with sodium borohydride, followed by dehydration with phosphorus pentoxide. Subsequent ozonization of XXII yielded the dialde-hyde (XXIV). The olefinic bond at the 5, 6 position of ring B (XVIII) was introduced by the same procedure as in the ring C series. This hexahydrochrysene analogue (XVIII) was reacted with osmium tetroxide to provide the diol (XXVI), which upon treatment with periodic acid yielded the aldol condensation product directly without isolation of the dialdehyde. Nuclear magnetic resonance (n. m. r.) spectroscopy was found to be a powerful tool for the purpose of the characterization of these rather complex molecules.

description: The Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) is being used to conduct a low-Galactic latitude survey, to map the distribution of galaxies and large-scale structures behind the Milky Way through detection of galaxies' neutral hydrogen (HI) 21-cm emission. This Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey finds new HI galaxies which lie hidden behind the Milky Way, and also provides redshifts for partially-obscured galaxies known at other wavelengths. Before the commencement of the full survey, two low-latitude precursor regions were observed, totalling 138 square degrees, with 72 HI galaxies detected. Detections through the inner Galaxy generally have no cataloged counterparts in any other waveband, due to the heavy extinction and stellar confusion. Detections through the outer Galaxy are more likely to have 2MASS counterparts. We present the results of these precursor observations, including a catalog of the detected galaxies, with their HI parameters. The survey sensitivity is well described by a flux- and linewidth-dependent signal-to-noise ratio of 6.5. ALFA ZOA galaxies which also have HI measurements in the literature show good agreement between our measurements and previous work. The inner Galaxy precursor region was chosen to overlap the HI Parkes Zone of Avoidance Survey so ALFA performance could be quickly assessed. The outer Galaxy precursor region lies north of the Parkes sky. Low-latitude large-scale structure in this region is revealed, including an overdensity of galaxies near l = 183 deg and between 5000 - 6000 km/s in the ZOA. The full ALFA ZOA survey will be conducted in two phases: a shallow survey using the observing techniques of the precursor observations, and also a deep phase with much longer integration time, with thousands of galaxies predicted for the final catalog.

title: Spinel and Perovskite-based Transition Metal Oxide Single Crystal Model Catalysts for Electrochemical Water Oxidation
Creators: name: Tian, Chuanmu
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2025

description: Electrochemical water splitting provides a promising way for the storage of intermittent renewable energy in the form of chemical fuels and can contribute to solving the global energy crisis and environmental problems. The slower kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) tend to limit the overall efficiency of water splitting. Therefore, the development of active, stable, and non-precious metal OER catalysts is particularly important. In this thesis, we focus on two types of transition metal oxides for the alkaline OER, perovskite and spinel oxide.
In the present work, we have grown a series of NiₓCo₃₋ₓO₄ (x = 0, 0.3, 1.0) single-crystal thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and investigated the relationship between the surface stability, the electronic structure of the Ni³⁺ hole state and the OER activity before and after different electrochemical treatments. The results show that the oxidation states of Co, Ni and the hole states created by Ni doping do not change upon OER treatment. At the same time, the OER performance of NiₓCo₃₋ₓO₄ was enhanced with increased cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycles. The enhanced OER activity is attributed to the increase in active surface area and the emergence of oxygen deficiency. Similarly, we also used this approach to investigate the stability of the electronic structure in La₁₋ₓSrₓFeO₃ (x = 0, 0.33, 0.8) single crystal films. The results show that the electronic structure undergoes dramatic changes especially in the concentration of Fe⁴⁺ oxidation state, the hole state and the position of the Fermi level. The OER performance of La₁₋ₓSrₓFeO₃ is strongly depend on the the three factors mentioned above. More importantly, the leaching of Sr element is an important factor with respect to the poor stability of La₀.₆₇Sr₀.₃₃FeO₃ and La₀.₂Sr₀.₈FeO₃ under OER conditions, and the OER performance decays faster with increasing Sr doping concentrations at the A-site in the perovskite structure. In addition, we also investigated the effect of oxygen vacancies on the OER performance of LaNiO₃ single crystal thin films. The results show that oxygen vacancies can enable the Ni atoms in LaNiO₃ to aggregate toward the surface and thus increase the OER activity. In summary, our study further demonstrates the importance of investigations on well-defined model systems for the precise interpretation of electrochemical properties for energy level engineering of the electronic structure of perovskite and spinel electrocatalysts towards achieving promising OER performance.

description: We propose a simple extension of the minimal universal extra dimension (UED)model by introducing a small curvature. The model is formulated as a small anti-de Sitter curvature limit of the five-dimensional standard model (SM) in the Randall-Sundrum background geometry. While the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle can be thermal relic dark matter as usual in the UED model, the KK-parity is explicitly broken in the presence of the small curvature and the KK dark matter decays into the SM fermions with a long lifetime. Couplings of the KK dark matter with SM fermion pairs in the five dimensional bulk are controlled by fermion bulk masses. With a suitable choice of bulk masses for leptons and quarks, the KK dark matter through its decay into leptons can account for the cosmic-ray electron/positron excesses reported by the recent PAMELA and FERMI satellite experiments, while suppressing the decay into quarks.

description: We perform the Bayesian inference of a GARCH model by the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with an adaptive proposal density. The adaptive proposal density is assumed to be the Student's t-distribution and the distribution parameters are evaluated by using the data sampled during the simulation. We apply the method for the QGARCH model which is one of asymmetric GARCH models and make empirical studies for for Nikkei 225, DAX and Hang indexes. We find that autocorrelation times from our method are very small, thus the method is very efficient for generating uncorrelated Monte Carlo data. The results from the QGARCH model show that all the three indexes show the leverage effect, i.e. the volatility is high after negative observations.

description: Es ist wohl tatsächlich so, dass ein Thema längere Zeit ‚in der Luft liegen‘ muss, um schließlich einmal reifen zu können. Die Bestandsaufnahmen für die Landeskunde aus der jüngsten Zeit rücken dezidiert Forderungen in den Mittelpunkt, die keinesfalls neu sind und alle engstens miteinander zusammen hängen. Es geht, ausgehend von systematischen empirischen Erhebungen zu einzelnen Aspekten des Ausgangswissens, der Vorstellungen und Erfahrungen Lernender, um eine systematische Grundlagenforschung, die den schon fast formelhaft gewordenen Ruf nach Interdisziplinarität bewusst realisiert (vgl. Althaus, 1999; Koreik, 2001). Mit der umfangreichen linguistischen und lehr-/lernwissenschaftlichen, aber auch der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung kann die Landeskunde noch immer nicht recht mithalten, wohl auch, weil sie am ehesten als dasjenige der vier ‚Standbeine‘ des Faches gilt, das wacklig und damit potenziell überflüssig ist.

description: Gas mixtures are known to affect mechanical properties of plastic materials of interest in HEP gas detectors. We have studied tensile properties of several materials for use in the straw tube detector of experiment BteV at the Fermilab Tevatron. A straw tube is a complex structure made up of two different layers of polymeric material with aluminium deposition and glue, therefore we have decoupled all these elements to better understand gas effect on each one. We have tested four different gas mixtures of Ar and CO2 on several strips of kapton and mylar loaded at about 200g (typical tension for straw tubes in BTeV). We have also considered temperature, pressure and relative humidity effects on strips mechanical tension.

description: Der folgende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit fachbezogener Fachsprachenvermittlung unter dem Aspekt der Entwicklung, Nutzung und Evaluation neuer Technologien. Hierzu wurde ein Modul zur Vermittlung der Fachsprache der Psycholinguistik entwickelt und auf die Akzeptanz der Inhalte des entwickelten Mediums durch die Zielgruppe getestet und evaluiert. Das Ziel dieser deskriptiv-explorativen Pilot-Studie ist, die computer- gestützte Lernumgebung der Fachsprache der Psycholinguistik im Speziellen und in Verbindung mit unter- schiedlichen Fächerbezügen zu testen und zu evaluieren. Die gewonnenen Ergebnisse sollen in die Fertigstellung des Lernmoduls einfließen. Im Sinne eines neueren Evaluations- und Entwicklungsmodells wird durch die formative Evaluation versucht, die theoretischen Annahmen der Programmentwicklung sowie des Vermittlungsansatzes zu überprüfen und modifizieren. Für den empirischen Teil der Studie wurden 15 ausländische Studierende der Psycholinguistik an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München rekrutiert. Das Testen und die persönliche Befragung der Testpersonen wurde innerhalb eines Zeitraums von drei Wochen realisiert. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass sowohl die inhaltliche als auch die technische Programmkonzeption positive Akzeptanz erfuhr und der lerntheoretische Rahmen der Lernprogrammkonzeption sowie der didaktische Rahmen der Lernzielvermittlung tendenziell den Lerner-dispositionen entgegenkommt. Daraus lassen sich Hinweise und Konsequenzen für die weitere Entwicklung des Online-Programms http://www.uni-deutsch.de/ erschließen.
title: Marital Happiness: Undergraduate University Students Assess Their Parents' Marriage Regarding Communication, Power, Education, and Religiosity

description: This study was designed to investigate undergraduate university students' appraisals of their parents' marital happiness, and how those views affect respondents' current attitudes toward marriage. The sample included 1,437 undergraduate students between the years 1970 and 1999. The dependent variable was perceived marital happiness in the family of origin. The independent variables were perceived communication quality, perceived level of egalitarianism, level of education, and perceived religious activity of the respondents ' parents as reported by the respondents. Respondents' desire to have a communication situation in their own marriage similar to that of the parents' marriage, and desire to have a power situation in their own marriage similar to that of the parents' marriage was also assessed. The results indicate that respondents saw perceived communication quality as the strongest correlate of perceived marital happiness, and high perceived levels of parental marital happiness were associated with students ' desires to have both a power situation and a communication situation in their own marriage similar to that of their parents' marriage. Perceived communication quality yielded a strong correlation with perceived marital happiness Other correlates of perceived marital happiness included perceived level of egalitarianism and perceived religiosity. Parents' level of education correlated negatively with perceived marital happiness. Correlations among predictor variables fail to support the theoretical base used in this study, indicating that couples within the past 30 years do value the socially prescribed processes of communication quality and egalitarianism when evaluating marital happiness.

Galactic Basins of Helium and Iron around the Knee Energy
Creators: name: Codino, Antonio

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 2006

description: The differential energy spectrum of cosmic rays exhibits a change of slope, called "knee" of the spectrum, around the nominal energy of 3 x 10^15 eV, and individual "knees" for single ions, at different energies. The present work reports a detailed account of the characteristics and the origin of the knees for Helium and Iron. Current observational data regarding the magnetic field, the insterstellar matter density, the size of the Galaxy and the galactic wind, are incorporated in appropriate algorithms which allow to simulate millions of cosmic-ion trajectories in the disk. Bundles of ion trajectories define galactic regions called basins utilized in the present analysis of the knees. The fundamental role of the nuclear cross sections in the origin of the helium and iron knees is demonstrated and highlighted.The results of the calculation are compared with the experimental data in the energy interval 10^12 eV - 5 x 10^17 eV. There is a fair agreement between the computed and measured energy spectra of Helium and Iron; rather surprisingly their relative intensities are also in accord with those computed here. The results suggest that acceleration mechanisms in the disk are extraneous to the origin of the "knees".
title: Impasse in Marriage and Family Therapy

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: The purpose of this exploratory study was to learn about practicing Marriage and Family Therapists' experiences with therapeutic impasse. The study had several objectives: investigate the incidence of impasse; look into therapists ' experiences with impasse, their attitudes toward it, and their views on its etiology; and explore clinicians' strategies for impasse resolution.
One hundred and six clinical members of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) responded to a self-designed questionnaire. The majority of the respondents (83%) reported being stuck in therapy for a few minutes and 35% reported being stuck for three or more sessions during the previous year of their practice. The majority of times, the therapists experienced low to medium stress in impasse and predominantly distressing emotions such as frustration and anxiety. Nonetheless, 86% of the participants reported having positive attitudes toward impasse.
This study entertained a qualitative analysis of the first signs of impasse that MFTs reported they noticed as well as therapy situations in which they typically or frequently experienced impasse. Clinicians reported looking into different units of analysis when noticing the first signs of impasse. Most of them observed client signs, fewer noticed signs in the therapeutic system, and the least noticed signs in themselves. Similar to the question of signs of impasse, the therapists concentrated on client, system, and their own characteristics when describing their typical impasse situations. As many as 65% of the responses contained therapists' accounts of typical client dynamics with which they experienced impasse and only 5% of the responses mentioned therapist dynamics.
A total of 95% of the sample reported high or very high rates of impasse resolution. ln addition, 88% of the therapists reported having a strategy/strategies for resolving impasse. The study revealed diverse strategies that MFTs used for dealing with impasse: immediate interventions, larger scale interventions, and complete courses of actions. Implications for research, practice, and training are discussed.

description: Extracting high resolution, shallow bathymetry from drone-based imagery using empirical methods is a novel approach that gains increasing interest. However, due to the rapidly expanding character of this field, there are not sufficient guidelines for optimal pre-processing of drone-based imagery regarding bathymetry retrieval. This study explores the suitability of imagery resulted from commonly used drone cameras in terms of producing good correlation with ground-truth depth measurements obtained from an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). Thus, imagery with similar spectral responses, from two commercial sensors (DJI Phantom 4 Pro and MicaSense-RedEdge multispectral camera), is examined along with and without radiometric corrections applied, using proprietary software. The results show that radiometric image corrections using a reference reflectance panel, greatly enhance the correlation coefficient between bathymetry data and single-band or band-ratio reflectance mosaics at two study areas with mixed seafloor types. However, it was observed that the Red band and its associated logarithmic band ratios (Blue/Red, Green/Red) from both sensors show good correlation with depth as well, regardless of radiometric corrections. This result applies mainly to areas with favourable optical properties of water. This study suggests that radiometric calibration is crucial in empirical bathymetry retrieval from drone-based imagery. Furthermore, radiometric corrections applied on common Red, Green, Blue (RGB) cameras provide useful reflectance mosaics at lower costs compared to multispectral cameras.

description: Among the accelerator-based neutron sources, the ones which are driven by electron Linacs still appear quite attractive, notably in the case of cross section measurements with the time-of-flight method. This is due to their better beam quality and economy aspects, which make them complementary, rather than inferior to the hadron (protons, deuterons) driven spallation facilities.A conceptual design study of a powerful neutron source has been developed, aiming at the implementation on a future normal- or super-conducting Linac to be built in the Rome Research Area, but keeping enough flexibility for being installed on any high energy linac. We report in this paper on the first simulation results, mainly about the general design of the target-moderator assembly and the radiation shielding.
The absorption and fluorescence of anthracene in the near ultra-violet
Creators: name: Katagiri, Seiko
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The fluorescence and absorption spectra of anthracene in the near ultra-violet were investigated in n-heptane, fluorene, biphenyl and n-hexane matrices at low temperature. The assignment of the excited electronic state as ‘Biu was confirmed. In the ground electronic state eight Qg and five b₃g, and in the 'Bᵢᵥ upper electronic state seven Qg and five b₃g fundamentals were assigned. It was deduced that the potential surfaces of the 'Ag and the 'Bᵢᵥ states were similar in shape as there was an approximate agreement between the values of corresponding fundamental vibrations in the two electronic states. The potential surfaces were unusually harmonic for a polyatomic molecule, at least along the normal co-ordinates available to this study. No evidence for the presence of anharmonicity was found in even the highest overtone (the third) measured, although several possible examples of Fermi resonance between vibrational modes were observed both in fluorescence and in absorption. The Fermi resonances were assigned primarily on the basis of intensity transfer between lines rather than line shifts. The presence of a weaker long-axis polarized transition ( 'B₂ᵥ- 'Ag ) in anthracene predicted by theory was not detected. The lowest energy electronic transition in fluorene was found to be polarized along the long axis of this molecule.
