optimization

description: Producing more will largely depend on increasing crop yield, not farming more land. An important element of food production which must be addressed immediately is the future optimization of crop yield. Organic greenhouse cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) can be considered as one of several approaches to sustainable agriculture. It is more economic than conventionally grown cucumber crops. The main objective is to optimize yield and decrease costs. In general, excess in agricultural production on a reasonable basis and at a competitive price is vital to becoming better the farmers' economic situation. We introduce Weighted Goal Programming (WGP) as an efficient model in reaching optimality, involving net return, regular labor cost, crop collection cost, engineering supervision cost and seeds cost. The result revealed that the yield for cucumber crop in both greenhouse and open field covered its actual costs of production. Irrespective of the factors affecting the cucumber growth, the first optimization results are WGP model achieves the unique optimal solution for the overall problem, in greenhouse x = 165.1883 tons/acre in spring, 50.00 tons/acre in autumn, and in open field x =13.8796 tons/acre in spring, 10.4640 tons/acre in autumn. This study concluded that the cucumber greenhouse system has been shown to have higher profitability than the open-field system and is more efficient which compensates its extra costs. A marketing aspect study is suggested as it could open up more avenues for improving the performance of this organic greenhouse production system as an important sub-sector.

description: Recent experiments show oscillations of dominant period h/2e in conductance vs. magnetic flux of charge density wave (CDW) rings above 77 K, revealing macroscopically observable quantum behavior. The time-correlated soliton tunneling model discussed here is based on coherent, Josephson-like tunneling of microscopic quantum solitons of charge 2e. The model interprets the CDW threshold electric field as a Coulomb blockade threshold for soliton pair creation, often much smaller than the classical depinning field but with the same impurity dependence (e.g., ~ ni^2 for for weak pinning). This picture draws upon the theory of time-correlated single-electron tunneling to interpret CDW dynamics above threshold. Similar to Feynman's derivation of the Josephson current-phase relation for a superconducting tunnel junction, the picture treats the Schrodinger equation as an emergent classical equation to describe the time-evolution of Josephson-coupled order parameters related to soliton dislocation droplets. Vector or time-varying scalar potentials can affect the order parameter phases to enable magnetic quantum interference in CDW rings or lead to interesting behavior in response to oscillatory electric fields. The ability to vary both magnitudes and phases is an aspect important to future applications in quantum computing.

Creators: name: Faragó, Bettina
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Einstieg von AbsolventInnen des Zentrums für Translationswissenschaft mit Ungarisch als A-Sprache in den Dolmetschberuf. Im Rahmen dieser wurden sieben Ungarisch-AbsolventInnen des ZTW in Bezug auf Ungarisch als Arbeitssprache in Zusammenhang mit den Karrierechancen am Dolmetschmarkt befragt. Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit werden zuerst die Berufsfelder des Dolmetschens, danach die Ausbildungsstätten für Translation in Österreich der Vergangenheit erläutert und anschließend die ÜbersetzerInnen- und DolmetscherInnenausbildungen in Wien im Laufe der letzten 100 Jahre detailliert beschrieben. Weiters werden die sechs bereits veröffentlichten Masterarbeiten zum Thema Berufseinstieg ins Dolmetschen am Zentrum für Translationswissenschaft vorgestellt, die sich mit dem Thema Arbeitssituation von AbsolventInnen des ZTW mit unterschiedlichen Sprachen befassen. Der zweite Teil der Masterarbeit besteht aus der praktischen Forschungsarbeit, also aus der empirischen Analyse anhand von Interviews. Im Rahmen dieser wurden sieben Ungarisch-AbsolventInnen des ZTW in Bezug auf Ungarisch als Arbeitssprache in Zusammenhang mit den Karrierechancen am Dolmetschmarkt befragt. Die Interviews wurden anhand der Inhaltsanalyse von Mayring (2010) und der darauf aufbauenden Analyse von Leitfadeninterviews von Sefanie Vogt und Melanie Werner (2014) ausgewertet. Die Daten zeigen, dass der Berufseinstieg ins Dolmetschen von den AbsolventInnen bereits vor dem Masterstudium oder während des Masterstudiums stattfand. Sechs der sieben Befragten waren zum Zeitpunkt der Interviews als selbständige DolmetscherInnen tätig, wobei nur zwei davon als KonferenzdolmetscherInnen und die restlichen TeilnehmerInnen hauptsächlich im Bereich Community Interpreting arbeiteten. Alle InterviewpartnerInnen kamen zu dem Schluss, dass sie sprachlich sehr gut auf die Berufspraxis am Dolmetschmarkt vorbereitet worden seien, ihnen dennoch die Praktikumsangebote an der Universität während des Studiums gefehlt haben.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Geschichte der „Euthanasie“-Debatte, den nationalsozialistischen Krankenmorden und Schloss Hartheim. Wie wurde aus einer gut funktionierenden Pflegeanstalt ein derartiger Ort des Grauens? Wie reagierten die Angehörigen auf das plötzliche Verschwinden ihrer Liebsten? Und wie berichtete die oberösterreichische Presse in der Nachkriegszeit über die Ereignisse, die sich vor ihrer Haustür abspielten? All das sind Fragen, die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit beantwortet werden sollen – damit die grauenhaften Akte der NS-„Euthanasie“ auch weiterhin präsent bleiben.

Importance of torsion and invariant volumes in Palatini theories of gravity

description: We study the field equations of extensions of General Relativity formulated within a metric-affine formalism setting torsion to zero (Palatini approach). We find that different (second-order) dynamical equations arise depending on whether torsion is set to zero i) a priori or ii) a posteriori, i.e., before or after considering variations of the action. Considering a generic family of Ricci-squared theories, we show that in both cases the connection can be decomposed as the sum of a Levi-Civita connection and terms depending on a vector field. However, while in case i) this vector field is related to the symmetric part of the connection, in ii) it comes from the torsion part and, therefore, it vanishes once torsion is completely removed. Moreover, the vanishing of this torsion-related vector field immediately implies the vanishing of the antisymmetric part of the Ricci tensor, which therefore plays no role in the dynamics. Related to this, we find that the Levi-Civita part of the connection is due to the existence of an invariant volume associated to an auxiliary metric $h_{μν}$, which is algebraically related with the physical metric $g_{μν}$.

description: Direct monitoring of singlet oxygen (1O2) luminescence is a particularly challenging infrared photodetection problem. 1O2, an excited state of the oxygen molecule, is a crucial intermediate in many biological processes. We employ a low noise superconducting nanowire single-photon detector to record 1O2 luminescence at 1270 nm wavelength from a model photosensitizer (Rose Bengal) in solution. Narrow band spectral filtering and chemical quenching is used to verify the 1O2 signal, and lifetime evolution with the addition of protein is studied. Furthermore, we demonstrate the detection of 1O2 luminescence through a single optical fiber, a marked advance for dose monitoring in clinical treatments such as photodynamic therapy.

title: Europabilder sambischer Schülerinnen und Schüler an unterschiedlichen Schultypen
Creators: name: Schober, Emanuel
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Fremdbildern von sambischen Schüler*innen in Bezug auf Europa. Zudem wird mithilfe von Befragungen eruiert, wie die Vorstellungen und Bilder von Schüler*innen sich zwischen zwei unterschiedlichen Schultypen unterscheiden und welchen Einfluss die Unterrichtsmaterialien haben. Die beiden Hypothesen, welcher dieser Masterarbeit zugrunde liegen lauten: Wenn keine oder kaum Auseinandersetzungen mit Weltbildern und Europabildern im Unterricht erfolgen, dann kommt es zur Nennung von allgemeinen und stereotypen Vorstellungen. Je undifferenzierter Europa im Unterricht thematisiert und analysiert wird, desto eher werden Europa positive Aspekte zugeschrieben. Vor der empirischen Erhebung zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen wird eine theoretische Einführung gegeben, um ein besseres Verständnis über die Rahmenbedingungen und die Ausbildung in Sambia zu haben. Folgende Punkte werden behandelt: Der Behandlung des theoretischen Rahmens folgt eine Auseinandersetzung zwischen den Spannungsfeldern Afrika & Europa, sowie Vorstellung & Wirklichkeit. Anschließend wird ein Einblick in die historischen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen in Sambia gegeben und abschließend die Ausbildung und das Schulsystem in Sambia erläutert. Anschließend folgt der empirische Teil dieser Forschungsarbeit: Dabei werden die Ergebnisse der Erhebungen an den beiden Schultypen in Kitwe ausgewertet und analysiert, um das Europabild der Schüler*innen darstellen zu können. Dieser Abschnitt beinhaltet eine Befragung von SchülerInnen der staatlichen Schule („Chamboli Secondary School“) und der Privatschule („Lechwe International School“). Zusätzlich wurden Interviews mit je einer Lehrperson an beiden Schultypen durchgeführt, damit ein Einblick in die Lehrinhalte über Europa im Unterricht gegeben werden kann und andererseits Erkenntnisse über die Lehrer*innenbildung in Sambia gewonnen werden konnten. Im Rahmen dieser Forschungsarbeit konnte ein Zusammenhang zwischen allgemeinen und stereotypen Darstellungen von Europa und einer kaum vorhandenen Auseinandersetzung mit Europa im Unterricht bei den Schüler*innen feststellen, wodurch eine der anfangs aufgestellte Thesen belegt werden konnte.
title: Lesekompetenz im Russischunterricht auf Niveau B1
Creators: name: Müllner, Sebastian
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit setzt sich mit der Lesekompetenz im Fremdsprachenunterricht, genauer gesagt im Russischunterricht in Österreich, auseinander. Neben den weiteren Kompetenzen Hören, Schreiben und Sprechen, die im Fremdsprachenunterricht eine große Rolle spielen, wird die Wichtigkeit des Lesens hervorgehoben. Wichtige Aspekte, wie Lesestrategien, Lesestile und die Förderung der Lesekompetenz im Unterricht, werden in der Masterarbeit erläutert. Außerdem findet eine Lehrwerkanalyse von zwei russischen Schulbüchern, die im deutschsprachigen Raum verwendet werden, im zweiten Teil der Arbeit Platz. Anhand ausgewählter Kriterien, die sich am sogenannten Brünner Kriterienkatalog orientieren, werden die Lehrwerke Jasno! (2015) und Do vstreči (2020) untersucht. Der Fokus liegt vor allem auf der Variation der unterschiedlichen Leseübungen, der Integration von Übungen, die für die Reifeprüfung im Unterrichtsfach Russisch verwendet werden, dem Verhältnis zwischen Hör-, Lese-, Sprech- und Schreibübungen sowie der Authentizität der Aufgaben in den Lehrwerken. Die Ergebnisse der Lehrwerkanalyse zeigen, dass Leseübungen in beiden Lehrwerken zwar quantitativ am häufigsten vorkommen, die Variation jedoch höher sein könnte. Außerdem werden die Schüler*innen aufgrund weniger bis fehlender Übungen nicht adäquat auf die Reifeprüfung im Unterrichtsfach Russisch vorbereitet. Ziel der Arbeit ist jedoch nicht, eines der Bücher besser oder schlechter darzustellen, sondern auf die Defizite hinzuweisen, weswegen ein eindeutiges Urteil ausbleibt.
description: This master's thesis deals with reading comprehension skills in foreign language teaching, more specifically Russian language teaching in Austria. In addition to listening, writing, and speaking skills, which play a major role in foreign language teaching, the importance of reading is emphasised. Key aspects such as reading strategies, reading styles, and the promotion of reading competency in the classroom are explained in the master's thesis. Furthermore, a textbook analysis of two Russian textbooks used in German-speaking countries is central to the second part of the thesis. The textbooks Jasno! (2015) and Do vstreči (2020) are examined on the basis of selected criteria, which are oriented towards the so-called Brno criteria catalogue. The primary focus lies on the variation of different reading exercises, the integration of exercises used for the school-leaving examination in Russian, the relationship between listening, reading, speaking, and writing exercises, as well as the authenticity of the tasks in said textbooks. The results of the textbook analysis show that reading exercises are quantitatively the most frequent in both textbooks, however, the variety of exercises could be greater. Moreover, due to a lack of exercises, students may not be adequately prepared for the final examination in Russian. However, the aim of this paper is not to establish which of the textbooks is more suitable, but to point out their limitations and potential pitfalls.
Activation and radiation damage in the environment of hadron accelerators

description: A component which suffers radiation damage usually also becomes radioactive, since the source of activation and radiation damage is the interaction of the material with particles from an accelerator or with reaction products. However, the underlying mechanisms of the two phenomena are different. These mechanisms are described here. Activation and radiation damage can have far-reaching consequences. Components such as targets, collimators, and beam dumps are the first candidates for failure as a result of radiation damage. This means that they have to be replaced or repaired. This takes time, during which personnel accumulate dose. If the dose to personnel at work would exceed permitted limits, remote handling becomes necessary. The remaining material has to be disposed of as radioactive waste, for which an elaborate procedure acceptable to the authorities is required. One of the requirements of the authorities is a complete nuclide inventory. The methods used for calculation of such inventories are presented, and the results are compared with measured data. In the second part of the paper, the effect of radiation damage on material properties is described. The mechanism of damage to a material due to irradiation is described. The amount of radiation damage is quantified in terms of displacements per atom. Its calculation and deficiencies in explaining and predicting the changes in mechanical and thermal material properties are discussed, and examples are given.

Full field study of strain distribution near the crack tip in the fracture of solid propellants via large strain digital image correlation and optical microscopy
Creators: name: Gonzalez, Javier
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1997
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: A full field method for visualizing deformation around the crack tip in a fracture process with large strains is developed. A digital image correlation program (DIC) is used to incrementally compute strains and displacements between two consecutive images of a deformation process. Values of strain and displacements for consecutive deformations are added, this way solving convergence problems in the DIC algorithm when large deformations are investigated. The method developed is used to investigate the strain distribution within 1 mm of the crack tip in a particulate composite solid (propellant) using microscopic visualization of the deformation process.

description: Segue 2, discovered by Belokurov et al. (2009), is a galaxy with a luminosity of only 900 L_sun. We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of 25 members of Segue 2--a threefold increase in spectroscopic sample size. The velocity dispersion is too small to be measured with our data. The upper limit with 90% (95%) confidence is sigma_v < 2.2 (2.6) km/s, the most stringent limit for any galaxy. The corresponding limit on the mass within the 3-D half-light radius (46 pc) is M_1/2 < 1.5 (2.1) x 10^5 M_sun. Segue 2 is the least massive galaxy known. We identify Segue 2 as a galaxy rather than a star cluster based the wide dispersion in [Fe/H] (from -2.85 to -1.33) among the member stars. The stars' [alpha/Fe] ratios decline with increasing [Fe/H], indicating that Segue 2 retained Type Ia supernova ejecta despite its presently small mass and that star formation lasted for at least 100 Myr. The mean metallicity, = -2.22 +/- 0.13 (about the same as the Ursa Minor galaxy, 330 times more luminous than Segue 2), is higher than expected from the luminosity-metallicity relation defined by more luminous dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way. Segue 2 may be the barest remnant of a tidally stripped, Ursa Minor-sized galaxy. If so, it is the best example of an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy that came to be ultra-faint through tidal stripping. Alternatively, Segue 2 could have been born in a very low-mass dark matter subhalo (v_max < 10 km/s), below the atomic hydrogen cooling limit.

description: Different wavelengths of light are associated with various functions in plant development. Plants have a range of photoreceptors to detect these wavelengths. The changes in the light quality (wavelength) influences various physiological processes such as intra and inter-cellular differentiation, Different sources of light seem to be affected differently on different growth stages of plants. Light Emitting Diode (LED) colour spectrum, fluorescent tube light, High intensity discharge (HID) lamps and transparent shading are some of examples of source of colour of light on plants. Experiments that conducted on seed germination of different plant under different light colour have showed different effects on germination. There is a high variation of seedling height of tomato under different colour transparent shading. Ascorbic acid content in tomato fruit is significantly high under yellow, green and colourless shading. We can propose green and red shading on tomato plant is more important for healthy lycopene rich fruit production than direct high intensity light. Pericarp thickness is one of the most valuable character of fruit, which important for postharvest life, was significantly high under green shading.

description: Currently, there are more than 85,000 plant species that have been documented for medical use globally. This implies, plant derived natural products hold great promise for discovery and development of new pharmaceuticals in diverse human ailments. The lack of effective pharmaceutical formulas and the resistance created by current antibiotic pathogens, as well as oxidative stress new therapeutic agents from plants. In fact, several studies have shown that medicinal plants possess antioxidant properties due largely to their phytochemical profile. Endemic plants can be a source of new bioactive compounds able to prevent several diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and Alzheimer’s disease by combating oxidative stress and its associated pathologies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contents of total phenolics, flavonoids, and caffeine in six medicinal plants used traditionally in phytotherapy, usually consumed as tea or infusion namely: Camellia sinensis, Melissa officinalis, Lippia citriodora, Cymbopogon citratus, Matricaria chamomilla, and Tilia cordata. Significant variations in total phenolics and flavonoids content were found among analyzed plants and depending on the nature of the extract. The concentration of caffeine was also very dissimilar and followed the sequence M. officinalis < T. cordata < C. citratus < M. chamomilla < L. citriodora < C. sinensis. Also, the antioxidant activity of each plant was found to vary according to C. citratus (90.9%) > C. sinensis (87.8%) > M. officinalis (50.7%) > M. chamomilla (45.3%) > T. cordata (32.2%) > L. citriodora (28.0%).

description: We consider static spherically symmetric configurations in a Palatini extension of General Relativity including $R^2$ and Ricci-squared terms, which is known to replace the central singularity by a wormhole in the electrovacuum case. We modify the matter sector of the theory by adding to the usual Maxwell term a nonlinear electromagnetic extension which is known to implement a confinement mechanism in flat space. One feature of the resulting theory is that the non-linear electric field leads to a dynamically generated cosmological constant. We show that with this matter source the solutions of the model are asymptotically de Sitter and possess a wormhole topology. We discuss in some detail the conditions that guarantee the absence of singularities and of traversable wormholes.

title: Expertise in Applied Face Matching: Training, Forensic Examiners, Super Matchers and Algorithms
Creators: name: Moreton, Reuben
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Face matching is widely used in applied settings, including policing and border control, to identify persons of interest, where the consequences of an incorrect decision can have profound consequences. It is, therefore, of paramount importance that applied face- matching systems are accurate and reliable. However, humans are generally poor at matching face of people they don’t know, with large individual differences in accuracy. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate different sources of face-matching expertise (training, forensic face examination, superior face matchers and algorithms) and provide recommendations for how to improve face-matching performance in applied settings. Study one presents a survey of face-matching training, providing insights into the diverse and inconsistent approaches organisations use to train face-matching operators. The second study evaluates a two-day professional face-matching training course, demonstrating the limitations of short courses and the risk of introducing a match bias in low performers. In study three the perceptual skill of superior face matchers and forensic face examiners were compared, showing that by combining the selection of high performers with a wisdom of crowds approach, comparable levels of performance to trained examiners can be achieved in quick-decision face matching. Study four investigated the fusion of human face-matching decisions and algorithm similarity scores for faces that were challenging to humans and to the algorithm, highlighting the effectiveness of fusion in improving face-matching performance. Study five compared the operational accuracy of individual examiners and examiner teams on a face-matching task. Teams achieved higher levels of performance than individuals, with performance improving for both groups after fusion with a facial recognition algorithm. The thesis concludes with a discussion of how different sources of face-matching expertise can be used and combined in applied face-matching systems, and highlights areas for further research that would benefit the applied face-matching community.

title: Predicting Utility Bills for Air Combat Command A Study of Forecasting Techniques

description: Many companies use forecasting techniques as a tool in managing their assets. Trends in such items as sales, population and inventory levels have all been determined at one time or another using forecasting, yet research indicates that these tools have not been utilized to predict utility budgets. This research was conducted to determine if such techniques could be applied to the specific task of predicting the utility bill at an Air Force base. Three quantitative models were chosen, the Moving Average, Exponential Smoothing and Regression, to determine their applicability to the task at hand. One base within Air Combat Command, Langley AFB, Hampton, Virginia, was studied due to its location and visibility. The models were tested using the actual data as reported to Air Combat Command. All models proved to be acceptable, with two of the models requiring further modification and refinement. This research concludes that the applicability of quantitative methods for predicting utility bills is viable, and recommends the use of the Regression model because of its ability to include multiple input variables impacting the outcome and its ability to address seasonality. Further refinements and modifications to the models analyzed in this research are recommended before their application on a broader scale.

description: A possible cause of the late-time cosmic acceleration is an exotic fluid with an equation of state lying within the phantom regime, i.e., $w=p/ρ0$. We also consider the "volume integral quantifier", which provides useful information regarding the total amount of energy condition violating matter, and show that, in principle, it is possible to construct asymptotically flat wormhole solutions with an arbitrary small amount of energy condition violating matter. In the second example, we analyse two equations of state, i.e., $p_r=p_r(ρ)$ and $p_t=p_t(ρ)$, where we consider a specific integrability condition in order to obtain exact asymptotically flat wormhole solutions. In the final example, we postulate a smooth energy density profile, possessing a maximum at the throat and vanishing at spatial infinity.

EL ESPACIO LITERARIO DE LA DESERCIÓN

description: El artículo tiene como propósito indagar y poner en relación la representación de la deserción en tres textos literarios: Aventuras de un centauro de la América meridional (1868), de José Joaquín de Vedia; Pablo o la vida en las pampas (1868), de Eduarda Mansilla; y Martín Fierro (1872 y 1879), de José Hernández. Al desertar de las filas militares, los gauchos de estas obras se desplazan por la llanura pampeana, cuya representación responde a diferentes parámetros estéticos, funcionales a los propósitos narrativos y políticos de los escritores. Las necesidades militares y los mecanismos coercitivos del Estado alejan al gaucho de la vida doméstica y lo ponen fuera de la ley. De Vedia recrea un paisaje todavía no atravesado por "el carro del progreso", contemporáneo del comienzo de las guerras civiles, evitables si las "tendencias" gauchas hubieran sido "bien dirigidas". Mansilla condena y explota literariamente el estado primitivo, pero en transformación del mundo rural. Mediante una descripción espacial austera pero muy funcional a la acción, Hernández denuncia un sistema corrupto e ineficiente que maltrata y excluye al gaucho. En las tres obras, el "desierto" es un escenario ilimitado y desconocido, esencial para la construcción del relato de la huida.
