description: Using density-functional perturbation theory and the Grüneisen formalism, we directly calculate the linear thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) of a hexagonal bulk system MoS$_2$ in the crystallographic $a$ and $c$ directions. The TEC calculation depends critically on the evaluation of a temperature-dependent quantity $I_i(T)$, which is the integral of the product of heat capacity and $Γ_i(ν)$, of frequency $ν$ and strain type $i$, where $Γ_i(ν)$ is the phonon density of states weighted by the Grüneisen parameters. We show that to determine the linear TECs we may use minimally two uniaxial strains in the $z$ direction, and either the $x$ or $y$ direction. However, a uniaxial strain in either the $x$ or $y$ direction drastically reduces the symmetry of the crystal from a hexagonal one to a base-centered orthorhombic one. We propose to use an efficient and accurate symmetry-preserving biaxial strain in the $xy$ plane to derive the same result for $Γ(ν)$. We highlight that the Grüneisen parameter associated with a biaxial strain may not be the same as the average of Grüneisen parameters associated with two separate uniaxial strains in the $x$ and $y$ directions due to possible preservation of degeneracies of the phonon modes under a biaxial deformation. Large anisotropy of TECs is observed where the linear TEC in the $c$ direction is about $1.8$ times larger than that in the $a$ or $b$ direction at high temperatures. Our theoretical TEC results are compared with experiment. The symmetry-preserving approach adopted here may be applied to a broad class of two lattice-parameter systems such as hexagonal, trigonal, and tetragonal systems, which allows many complicated systems to be treated on a first-principles level.

description: We present results on the clustering properties of galaxies as a function of both stellar mass and specific star formation rate (sSFR) using data from the PRIMUS and DEEP2 galaxy redshift surveys spanning 0.2 < z < 1.2. We use spectroscopic redshifts of over 100,000 galaxies covering an area of 7.2 deg^2 over five separate fields on the sky, from which we calculate cosmic variance errors. We find that the galaxy clustering amplitude is as strong of a function of sSFR as of stellar mass, and that at a given sSFR, it does not significantly depend on stellar mass within the range probed here. We further find that within the star-forming population and at a given stellar mass, galaxies above the main sequence of star formation with higher sSFR are less clustered than galaxies below the main sequence with lower sSFR. We also find that within the quiescent population, galaxies with higher sSFR are less clustered than galaxies with lower sSFR, at a given stellar mass. We show that the galaxy clustering amplitude smoothly increases with both increasing stellar mass and decreasing sSFR, implying that galaxies likely evolve across the main sequence, not only along it, before galaxies eventually become quiescent. These results imply that the stellar mass to halo mass relation, which connects galaxies to dark matter halos, likely depends on sSFR.

title: The longitudinal effects of pseudophosphorylated human tau on locus coeruleus fibre density in temporal lobe structures and its behavioural consequences in male and female rats

description: Abnormally phosphorylated tau is a protein commonly associated with Alzheimer disease (AD). Braak and Del Tredici (2011) have identified a noradrenergic nucleus, the locus coeruleus (LC), as the brain region to first express abnormal tau. Using a TH-Cre transgenic rat model of pretangle AD, we attempted to model the earliest prodromal stages seen in humans. We infused an adeno-associated virus (AAV) with a transgene coding a pseudophosphorylated human tau, htauE14, into the LC, and examined the behavioural consequences using four behavioural tests to assess memory, at 1-3 and 4-6 months post-infusion. Selective htauE14-GFP expression in LC neurons was confirmed using double immunolabelling for tyrosine hydroxylase and green fluorescent protein (GFP). We showed that >93% of LC neurons expressed GFP at 1-3 and 4-6 months postinfusion. Using an antibody against dopamine-b-hydroxylase, we showed higher relative optical density for LC-htauE14 infused rats at 1-3 months post-infusion in CA1 and the subgranular zone, suggesting htauE14-mediated changes in LC projections. Behavioural assays indicate subtle, sex-dependent impairment on hippocampal-dependent spatial memory. These results indicate that AAV-htauE14 is selectively expressed in LC neurons and can modify noradrenergic input to memory structures. Behavioural deficits may become more apparent if the LC-mediated projections are lost as animals age.

description: Die Länder der Bewegung der Blockfreien Staaten waren bedeutende Akteure im Wandel der zeitgenössischen internationalen Beziehungen. Indem sie den Vereinten Nationen beitraten, vergrößerten sie deren Legitimität wie auch die anderer internationaler Organisationen. Durch individuelle und kollektive Initiativen bewirkten sie eine Reorientierung der politischen Leitlinien der UNO, die den eigenen Hoffnungen und Interessen mehr Raum gaben. Ihr wachsendes Gewicht, allein durch die zunehmende zahlenmäßige Stärke, setzte die USA und ihre westeuropäischen Verbündeten unter massiven Druck. Die Etablierung von Mechanismen wie die United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, aber auch neue Agenden für die Generalversammlung der UNO und etliche ihrer Spezialorganisationen sowie einige Initiativen der Weltbank in den 960er Jahren verdeutlichen den Einfluss der Bemühungen der Entwicklungsländer. Ihre maßgebliche Rolle kommt schließlich in der Begründung von Programmen zur wirtschaftlichen Stärkung von „Dritte Welt“-Ländern sowie in den UN-Friedensmissionen zum Ausdruck.

description: We present new MUSE observations of a galaxy group probed by a background quasar. The quasar sightline passes between multiple $z=0.28$ galaxies, whilst showing at the same redshift low ionised metal line species, including Ca II, Mg I, Mg II and Fe II. Based on the galaxy redshifts measured from the MUSE data, we estimate the galaxies to be part of a small galaxy group with a halo mass of $\approx6\times10^{12}$ M$_{\odot}$. We use the MUSE data to reveal the two dimensional dynamical properties of the gas and stars in the group galaxies, and relate these to the absorber kinematics. With these data we consider a number of scenarios for the nature of the gas probed by the sightline absorbers: a co-rotating gas halo associated with a single galaxy within the group; outflowing material from a single group member powered by recent star-formation; and cool dense gas associated with an intra-group medium. We find that the dynamics, galaxy impact parameters, star-formation rates, and the absorber strength suggest the cool gas can not be clearly associated with any single galaxy within the group. Instead we find that the observations are consistent with a superposition of cool gas clouds originating with the observed galaxies as they fall into the group potential, and are now likely in the process of forming the intra-group medium.

description: We consider modular graph functions that arise in the low energy expansion of the four graviton amplitude in type II string theory. The vertices of these graphs are the positions of insertions of vertex operators on the toroidal worldsheet, while the links are the scalar Green functions connecting the vertices. Graphs with four and five links satisfy several non--trivial relations, which have been proved recently. We prove these relations by using elementary properties of Green functions and the details of the graphs. We also prove a relation between modular graph functions with six links.

description: Data dimensionality reduction in radio interferometry can provide savings of computational resources for image reconstruction through reduced memory footprints and lighter computations per iteration, which is important for the scalability of imaging methods to the big data setting of the next-generation telescopes. This article sheds new light on dimensionality reduction from the perspective of compressed sensing theory and studies its interplay with imaging algorithms designed in the context of convex optimization. We propose a post-gridding linear data embedding to the space spanned by the left singular vectors of the measurement operator, providing a dimensionality reduction below image size. This embedding preserves the null space of the measurement operator and hence also its sampling properties as per compressed sensing theory. We show that this can be approximated by first computing the dirty image and then applying a weighted subsampled discrete Fourier transform to obtain the final reduced data vector. This Fourier dimensionality reduction model ensures a fast implementation of the full measurement operator, essential for any iterative image reconstruction method. The proposed reduction also preserves the i.i.d. Gaussian properties of the original measurement noise. For convex optimization-based imaging algorithms, this is key to justify the use of the standard L2-norm as the data fidelity term. Our simulations confirm that this dimensionality reduction approach can be leveraged by convex optimization algorithms with no loss in imaging quality relative to reconstructing the image from the complete visibility data set. Reconstruction results in simulation settings with no direction dependent effects or calibration errors show promising performance of the proposed dimensionality reduction. MATLAB code implementing the proposed reduction method is available on GitHub.

Am Beispiel der Eindämmung von Durchfallerkrankungen, eine der Hauptursachen für Kindersterblichkeit in ärmeren Ländern, wird der enge Zusammenhang von institutionellen, ideologischen und technologischen Faktoren behandelt. Die detaillierte Rekonstruktion der Schaffung von Wissen und politischen Direktiven im Umfeld der zentralen Initiativen der weltweiten Diarrhoeal Diseases Control-Programme hilft die divergierenden Positionen zu Gesundheit, wissenschaftlichen Agenden und Politik in der Weltgesundheitsorganisation, aber auch von Forschungsinstituten in Südasien sowie US-amerikanischen Entwicklungsagenturen zu erkennen. Das zentrale Argument des Nahblicks auf diese Konstellation lautet, dass biomedizinischer ‚Fortschritt’ zwar von entscheidender Bedeutung für den Beginn weltweiter Gesundheitsprogramme war, jedoch eine äußerst geringe Rolle in der konkreten Zielsetzung und Entfaltung spielte. Verfolgt man gleichermaßen die Forschungspraxis wie die ideologische Rahmung der Gesundheitspolitik, entsteht ein komplexes Bild des Agenda-Setting und der Ergebnisse von Weltgesundheitsprogrammen.

The Challenges of Implementing the Public Service Delivery Reform Program in Kombolcha City Administration and Harbu Municipality

Year: 2008

description: Urban centers' municipalities constitute an important part of local government in Ethiopia. There have been many problems observed in the civil service institutions of the country including municipalities for many years. For this reason, the government has implemented service delivery reform as part of the country's general political and economic restructuring programs. The major objective of this study is to assess the achievements recorded and to analyze the challenges encountered in implementing the SDR in KMS and HM. Primary data were collected from clients and staff of the two municipalities based on disproportionate stratified random sampling technique complemented with interviews and secondary sources. Since similar studies were not conducted before in these municipalities, the study is believed to be essential for its original findings and groundwork for future studies to build upon. From the essential conditions for the implementation of SDR, Strategic Planning and Management (SPM) was designed in both municipalities. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) has not been implemented. Allocation of budget, suitable offices, assigning trained manpower, awareness creation as well as establishing one stop service delivery mechanisms are not implemented sufficiently. Customers' information access is relatively good in KMS but insufficient in HM. Hence, the preconditions for the reform measures seem undeveloped. Though its implementation is very poor, KMS has designed service standards for basic services but not in HM. KMS has empowered departments for public service delivery. However, decentralization and outsourcing of services are not undertaken in these municipalities. Consequently, efficiency of municipalities is reduced in implementing SDR. Commitment and attitude of officials and employees, accountability, effectiveness and result-oriented work evaluation have been improved relatively compared to the situation before the implementation of the SDR. But it is insufficient. By and large, the municipalities' human resources and the system itself are central reasons for the increasing widespread perceptions of the general public that have difficulty in receiving service timely and in a cost-efficient manner. The problems of the municipalities require thorough diagnosis and sustained thought about the way to bring attitudinal changes. The SDR measures need to be executed through fulfillment of necessary conditions such as awareness creation; one-stop shop service delivery mechanisms; Business Process Reengineering; and allocation of sufficient financial budget, amongst others. Moreover, staff training and continuous monitoring and evaluation of the reform should be done with the commitment of municipal leaders

description: We consider an iterative procedure for constructing maximal abelian $^*$-subalgebras (MASAs) satisfying prescribed properties in II$_1$ factors. This method pairs well with the intertwining by bimodules technique and with properties of the MASA and of the ambient factor that can be described locally. We obtain such a local characterization for II$_1$ factors $M$ that have an {\it s-MASA}, $A\subset M$ (i.e., for which $A \vee JAJ$ is maximal abelian in $\Cal B(L^2M)$), and use this strategy to prove that any factor in this class has uncountably many non-intertwinable singular (respectively semiregular) s-MASAs.

description: Die UNESCO wurde 1945 ins Leben gerufen, um durch Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur zum Weltfrieden beizutragen, wobei sie in den ersten Jahren ihres Bestehens hauptsächlich in Europa agierte. Zunehmend jedoch weiteten sich die Aktivitäten auf Asien, Lateinamerika, den Nahen Osten und schließlich auf Afrika aus. Diese Ausweitung ist im Wesentlichen das Resultat des politischen Drucks von Vertretern aus nicht-westlichen Ländern, die die eurozentrische Geisteshaltung und Politik der Gründungszeit bzw. der Anfangsjahre kritisierten. Eine Voraussetzung dieses Einspruchs war die sich ausweitende Mitgliedschaft der UNESCO, die sich vor allem in Hinblick auf die Teilnahme von nichteuropäischen Staaten pluralisierte. Dieser Prozess wird im ersten Teil detailliert beschrieben. Anschließend werden Kooperationen zwischen den neuen Mitgliedern nachgezeichnet, einschließlich der Grenzen, auf die das gemeinsame Handeln stieß. Im dritten Abschnitt wird gezeigt, wie sich in der UNESCO eine offenere Haltung gegenüber Forderungen und Anliegen nicht-westlicher Gesellschaften durchsetzte. Zum Schluss wird diese Öffnung beispielhaft am Engagement in Afrika belegt.

Poisson equation for the three loop ladder diagram in string theory at genus one
Creators: name: Basu, Anirban
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The three loop ladder diagram is a graph with six links and four cubic vertices that contributes to the D^{12} R^4 amplitude at genus one in type II string theory. The vertices represent the insertion points of vertex operators on the toroidal worldsheet and the links represent scalar Green functions connecting them. By using the properties of the Green function and manipulating the various expressions, we obtain a modular invariant Poisson equation satisfied by this diagram, with source terms involving one, two and three loop diagrams. Unlike the source terms in the Poisson equations for diagrams at lower orders in the momentum expansion or the Mercedes diagram, a particular source term involves a five point function containing a holomorphic and a antiholomorphic worldsheet derivative acting on different Green functions. We also obtain simple equalities between topologically distinct diagrams, and consider some elementary examples.

description: Frauen aus nicht-westlichen Weltregionen hatten einen großen Einfluss auf die internationale Frauenbewegung in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren. Der Aufsatz illustriert dies anhand von drei indischen Frauenorganisationen. Zunächst wird gezeigt, dass der anfänglich westzentrierte Universalismus des International Council of Women und der International Alliance of Women nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg einer globaleren Perspektive wich, sowohl hinsichtlich der internen Politik als auch der Bandbreite der Anliegen, obwohl sie als kulturell und national spezifisch angesehen wurden. Einige der Leitfiguren nahmen die Forderung nach Selbstbestimmung ernster und unterstützten Frauen in kolonialisierten Gesellschaften in ihren spezifischen Vorhaben, anstatt ihnen die eigenen, oft genug imperialen Sichtweisen aufzudrängen. Sodann wird nachgezeichnet, dass die indischen Frauenorganisationen eigene, global ausgerichtete Agenden entwickelten, die ‚westliche’ und ‚nicht-westliche’ Aktivistinnen ansprachen sowie für lokale, regionale, aber auch grenzüberschreitende Interessen offen waren. Die bewusst dezentral angelegte Programmatik war auch dazu gedacht, die internationalen Frauenverbände zu reformieren.

description: Wasserstoff besitzt als Energieträger viele Vorteile, nach wie vor bestehen aber beträchtliche Probleme bezüglich Speicherung und Transport. Wasserstoff kann gasförmig oder flüssig gespeichert werden, alternativ auch Form von Metallhydriden. Eine optimale Speicherung, die allen Anforderungen genügt, ist aber bisher noch nicht gefunden worden. Ziel dieser Dissertation ist eine systematische Untersuchung verschiedener Parameter, die bei elektrochemischer Wasserstoffbeladung die Beladekinetik nanokristalliner Mg-Elektroden bzw. die Phasenstabilität teilquasikristalliner Zr-Basis Legierungen beeinflussen. In nanokristallinen Mg-Elektroden kommt es auf Grund der durch die katalytischen Eigenschaften von Nb2O5 verringerten Wasserstoffüberspannung und erhöhten Austauschstromdichte zu verbesserten Absorption- und Desorptionsprozessen. Ähnliche elektrochemische Effekte wurden für nanokristalline Mg-Elektroden ohne Nb2O5, aber mit deutlich reduzierter Partikelgröße beobachtet. Da durch den Zusatz von PTFE und Graphit zu den Mg/Nb205-Elektroden keine signifikante Änderung der Wasserstoffüberspannung beobachtet werden konnte, wird angenommen, dass die wesentlichen Faktoren für die bessere Wasserstoffspeicherung die veränderte Oxidationsneigung sowie der höhere Lückengrad und der damit erleichterte Wasserstofftransport zu den Mg-Partikeln sind. Polymorphe Quasikristallbildung in Zr-Cu-Ni-Al-Gläser erfordert mehr als 68 At.-% Zr und ist auf einen sehr engen Al-Konzentrationsbereich beschränkt. Die "Quasigitter"-Konstante steigt mit dem Zr-Gehalt. Die beobachtete Abhängigkeit der Keimbildung von der Temperatur der Schmelze vor dem Schmelzspinnen deutet darauf hin, dass mit abnehmender Temperatur sich eine Nahordnung verstärkt, die beim Schmelzspinnen eingeschreckt wird und dann die spätere Quasikristallbildung begünstigt. Ein Zusatz von 2 At.-% Ag erhöht die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit, so dass teilquasikristalline Gefüge mit erheblich größeren Quasikristallen als in der Ausgangslegierung Zr69,5Cu12Ni11Al7,5 eingestellt werden können. Es war bekannt, dass die Zunahme der Quasikristall-Durchmesser von 30-70 nm (30 Vol.-%) auf 40-90 nm (50 Vol.-%) in Zr69,5Cu12Ni11Al7,5 eine Erhöhung der Phasenstabilität bei elektrochemischer Wasserstoffbeladung bewirkt. Die erheblich größeren Quasikristalle in Zr71Cu11,5Ni10Al7,5 und Zr68,5Cu11Ni11Al7,5Ag2 zeigen dagegen eine signifikant geringere Stabilität. Diese Destabilisierung beruht vermutlich auf einer Schwächung der Bindung (größere Gitterkonstante) bzw. der leichteren Bildung von Phasonen.
title: Spatial access, need and equity : an analysis of the accessibility of primary health facilities for the elderly in parts of east Kent
Creators: name: Curtis, Sarah Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The medical care produced by the National Health Service can be regarded as a form of impure public good, partly because medical care is available from health facilities with varying spatial accessibility for the population. The cost of health care may be inequitable since ’subjective' as well as 'objective' friction of distance can affect the cost for individuals of obtaining health care. Information on'perceived' and 'objective' spatial access to health facilities is therefore relevant to planning decisions for health service provision. The elderly represent a client group that is particularly likely to experience poor spatial access to facilities, yet they have a high need for services. Also individual elderly people with certain characteristics are especially susceptible to problems of spatial access to health care. Clearly the spatial organization of service facilities is also significant in any study of variation in spatial accessibility between clients. An empirical study was made of primary care facilities in East Kent, focusing on aspects of spatial access for elderly residents of two Medical Practice Areas. Location-allocation analysis of surgery positions demonstrated how their spatial organization might influence aggregate travel costs and variation in travel costs for clients. A survey was conducted of a sample of elderly respondents drawn from a group particularly likely to experience access difficulty. 'Perceived' difficulty of access to the doctor's surgery among interviewees was found to be associated with 'objective' indicators of low accessibility and was inequitable in view of their health care needs. Individual and aggregated responses suggested some explanations for the perceptions recorded. The implications of the study for public service provision to the elderly are considered.

description: From time immemorial, the role of leaders in ensuring excellent organizational performance cannot be over emphasized. The need for adequate motivation, suitable working environment, compensation and efficient communication between employers and employees are important to promoting excellent organization performance. Though studies on leadership role amongst employees are well studied in developed countries, less could be said of in developing countries like Ethiopa. Therefore, it was important to evaluate leadership and organizational performance in small- scale industries in Alatawondo, sidama zone, SNNPR, Ethiopa. The evaluation was done through use of questionnaires with questions tailored towards determining: the relationship between leadership and organizational performance, style of leadership and its effect on organizational performance, the factors responsible for worker's low performance and how leadership style has affected labor management relations and productivity in the study area. After analyzing the result, it was concluded that to attain the objectives of small-scale industries in Alata wondo, it was necessary that leadership recognizes the needs of the workers, employ appropriate motivational tool such as promotion of staff based on merit and skills, provide suitable working environment and provide an appropriate leadership style that will encourage free flow of information among employer, superior officers and other employees

description: Internationale Organisationen sind aus einem Drang zur Weltverbesserung entstanden. Daher werden sie sowohl von ihren Gründern als auch von zahlreichen Forschern als Institutionen angesehen, die dem Weltfrieden dienen und den technologischen Fortschritt selbst in entfernteste Regionen bringen oder auf andere Weise die Welt „sicherer”, „gesünder” bzw. schlicht „besser” machen. In all diesen Zuschreibungen steckt die Annahme, dass die Welt durch sie zu einem „zivilisierteren” Ort werde. Daher argumentiere ich, dass Internationale Organisationen als Akteure einer „universalen Zivilisierungsmission“ gedeutet werden können. Die Charakterisierung als ‚globale Zivilisierer’ denkt neuere Forschungen weiter, die sich von Studien zum Kolonialismus und ‚civilizing missions’ inspirieren lassen, und trägt zu einem tieferen Verständnis der Institutionen bei. Der Aufsatz veranschaulicht diesen Interpretationsansatz anhand des internationalen Beamtentums, der Menschenrechtspolitik der UN sowie des Einflusses nicht„westlicher“ Konzepte auf die zivilisierende Rolle. Insofern entwickelt er ideengeschichtliche Hintergründe von Dynamiken in Internationalen Organisationen.

Так как одной из важнейших черт трансформации принципов устройства Ганзейского союза на рубеже Средневековья и раннего Нового
времени является переход к корпоративной торговле, благодаря которой ганзейские купцы получали возможность коллегиальной защиты своих интересов при осуществлении предпринимательской деятельности, формирование конкретных представлений о специфике организации «новгородских гостей» Любека, а также об особенностях развития корпорации на разных этапах ее истории представляется крайне интересной темой для
исследования.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αφορά το φαινόμενο της μοναξιάς στο αστικό τοπίο. Με εργαλείο την αρχιτεκτονική, διερευνούνται οι τρόποι παρέμβασης εντός του αστικού χώρου, που εν δυνάμει μπορούν να αποτελέσουν ανάχωμα στη μοναξιά και τη κοινωνική απομόνωση. Μέσω μιας σειράς σημειακών παρεμβάσεων σε αστικά κενά στη συνοικία της Αγίας Τριάδας Ηρακλείου Κρήτης, έρχονται σε επαφή η τρίτη με τη πρώτη ηλικία και δημιουργείται το χωρικό αποτύπωμα της επαφής αυτής. Η πρόταση περιλαμβάνει τρεις επεμβάσεις, δύο σε υπαίθριους χώρους και μια σε υφιστάμενο κέλυφος πρώην βιομηχανικού κτηρίου. Επιλέγονται τέσσερις παραδοσιακές δραστηριότητες μεταξύ των ομάδων αναφοράς, όπως η αφήγηση παραμυθιών, ο πηλός/ζωγραφική, οι αγροτικές καλλιέργειες και η μαγειρική. Οι τελευταίες μεταφράζονται σε χώρους που απευθύνονται στην ευρύτερη γειτονιά και κοινότητα και είναι οι εξής: storytelling, χώρος πηλού, ζωγραφικής και προβολών, κοινοτικός κήπος και κοινωνική κουζίνα. Έτσι, δημιουργώντας ένα δίκτυο συλλογικότητας και αλληλεγγύης,  η γειτονιά αυτενεργεί και «απομονώνει» το συναίσθημα της μοναξιάς.

Introducing Complex Components into Architectural Synthesis
Creators: name: Dömer, Rainer

Publisher: name: Universität Dortmund
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: 004

description: In this paper, we extend the set of library components which are usually considered in architectural synthesis by components with built-in chaining. For such components, the result of some internally computed arithmetic function is made available as an argument to some other function through a local connection. These components can be used to implement chaining in a data-path in a single component. Components with built-in chaining are combinatorial circuits. They correspond to ``complex gates in logic synthesis. If compared to implementations with several components, components with built-in chaining usually provide a denser layout, reduced power consumption, and a shorter delay time. Multiplier/accumulators are the most prominent example of such components. Such components require new approaches for library mapping in architectural synthesis. In this paper, we describe an IP-based approach taken in our OSCAR synthesis system.
Asymmetric nanowire SQUID: linear CPR, stochastic switching, and symmetries

description: We study nanodevices based on ultrathin superconducting nanowires connected in parallel to form nanowire SQUIDs. The function of the critical current versus magnetic field, $I_{C}(B)$, is multivalued, asymmetric and its maxima and minima are shifted from the usual integer and half integer flux quantum points. The nanowire interference device is qualitatively distinct from conventional SQUIDs because nanowires do not obey the same current-phase relationship (CPR) as Josephson junctions. We demonstrate that the results can be explained assuming that (i) the CPR is linear and (ii) that each wire is characterized by a sample-specific critical phase, which is usually much larger than $π/2$. Our proposed model offers accurate fits to $I_{C}(B)$. It explains the single-valuedness regions where only one vorticity (i.e., the order parameter winding number) is stable as well as regions where multiple vorticity values are allowed for the SQUIDs. We also observe and explain regions in which the standard deviation of the switching current is independent of the magnetic field. We develop a technique that allows a reliable detection of hidden phase-slips. Using this technique we find that our model correctly predicts the boundaries of vorticity regions, even at low currents where $I_C(B)$ is not directly measurable.
Relaxation of the entanglement spectrum in quench dynamics of topological systems

description: We study how the entanglement spectrum relaxes to its steady state in one-dimensional quadratic systems after a quantum quench. In particular we apply the saddle point expansion to the dimerized chains and 1-D p-wave superconductors. We find that the entanglement spectrum always exhibits a power-law relaxation superimposed with oscillations at certain characteristic angular frequencies. For the dimerized chains, we find that the exponent $ν$ of the power-law decay is always $3/2$. For 1-D p-wave superconductors, however, we find that depending on the initial and final Hamiltonian, the exponent $ν$ can take value from a limited list of values. The smallest possible value is $ν=1/2$, which leads to a very slow convergence to its steady state value.

description: A one-parameter family of Emden-Fowler equations defined by Lampariello's parameter p which, upon using Thomas-Fermi boundary conditions, turns into a set of generalized Thomas-Fermi equations comprising the standard Thomas-Fermi equation for p=1 is studied in this paper. The entire family is shown to be non integrable by reduction to the corresponding Abel equations whose invariants do not satisfy a known integrability condition. We also discuss the equivalent dynamical system of equations for the standard Thomas-Fermi equation and perform its phase-plane analysis. The results of the latter analysis are similar for the whole class.

description: Describing the lightest pseudoscalar mesons as bound states of quark and antiquark within the framework of an instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter formalism constructed such as to retain (in contrast to Salpeter's equation) as much information on the relativistic effects provided by the full quark propagator as conceivable allows for a surprisingly simple implementation of their near masslessness mandatory for their interpretability as pseudo-Goldstone bosons related to the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetries of quantum chromodynamics.

description: Mit Informationen aus der Befragung von Überspringern wird der Zeitraum von der Initiation der Akzeleration bis zur stabilen Position in der aufnehmenden Klasse dargestellt. Diese Arbeit dokumentiert mit den Ausschnitten aus persönlichen Lebensgeschichten subjektive Strukturen der Befragten. Sie zeigt Zusammenhänge auf, ermittelt Bedeutungen und vergleicht die Ergebnisse mit existierenden Empfehlungen. Es wird untersucht, welche Umstände dazu führten, dass drei der befragten Schülerinnen und Schüler diesen Schritt heute als Erfolg und gelungene Massnahme bezeichnen. Im Gespräch mit den Experten Huser und Liesen werden die Resultate diskutiert und Gemeinsamkeiten gesucht, um schliesslich die Fragen nach den Gelingensbedingungen sowie der Rolle und Aufgabe der SHP in diesem Prozess zu beantworten. Eine Auswahl wichtiger Informationen zum Thema wird für das Schulteam der Autorin zusammengestellt.

description: Η μελέτη για τη δημιουργία ενός τυποποιητήριου ελαιόλαδου στην Κρήτη, δημιούργησε την πρακτική ανάγκη για την εξέταση της απαίτησης των ενεργειακών αναγκών της μονάδας και τον τρόπο κάλυψης της με εναλλακτικές μορφές ενέργειας.
Η μελέτη της μονάδας ανέδειξε ότι τα τετραγωνικά μέτρα του θερμαινόμενου χώρου είναι 271.40 m2 και με βάση το χώρο της μονάδας υπολογίστηκαν και οι ενεργειακές απαιτήσεις της, οι οποίες ανέρχονται στις 75.400 kWh/έτος.
Ολοκληρώνοντας τη μελέτη σκίασης, ηλιασμού και χωροθέτησης των φωτοβολταϊκών πάνελ στη μονάδα της βιοτεχνίας, μελετήσαμε τέσσερις διαφορετικές λύσεις ώστε να καλύψουμε της απαιτήσεις της μονάδας. Η χωροθέτηση των φωτοβολταϊκών πάνελ έγινε στην ταράτσα της μονάδας, για καλύτερη εξοικονόμηση χώρου.
Με βάσει τα αποτελέσματα που λάβαμε, φαίνεται ότι το βέλτιστο σενάριο για την κάλυψη των ενεργειακών απαιτήσεων της μονάδας είναι το τέταρτο, το οποίο περιλαμβάνει σταθερά πλαίσια μονής όψης δυναμικότητας 49.95 kW. Σε αυτό το συμπέρασμα καταλήξαμε καθώς αυτή η λύση καλύπτει επαρκώς τις ενεργειακές ανάγκες της μονάδας και έχει πολύ υψηλό εσωτερικό ποσοστό απόδοσης (IRR) (μικρή διαφορά δεύτερο στην κατάταξη των σεναρίων) και με μεγάλη διαφορά στην κατάταξη μεγαλύτερη Παρούσα Αξία  (PW).
