description: Der Beitrag diskutiert – nicht zuletzt aus der Perspektive der Generaldirektion des österreichischen Rundfunks (ORF) – angesichts von Fake News, Propaganda und Manipulation die Rolle der öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien. So wird unter die Lupe genommen wie n Folge neuer Technologien nicht nur neue Freiheiten und Optionen, sondern auch Fake News und Filterblasen entstanden sind. Insgesamt handelt es sich darum, die Integrität und Eigenständigkeit der Öffentlich-Rechtlichen sicherzustellen und eine notwendige „chinesische Mauer“ gegenüber externen Einflüssen zu schaffen, um valide und journalistische abgestützte Informationen veröffentlichen zu können. So stellt sich gerade aus medienpädagogischer Sicht die Frage: „Wer“ ist Teil des Problems und wer ist Teil der Lösung?

description: We have developed a novel procedure for constructing high surface area silver sinter heat exchangers. Our recipe incorporates nylon fibers having a diameter of ~ 50 microns and thin wires of bulk silver in the heat exchanger. In order to increase the thermal conductance of liquid helium within the heat exchanger, prior to sintering, the nylon fibers are dissolved with an organic acid leaving a network of channels. In addition, the silver wires reinforce the structural integrity, and reduce the resistance, of the silver sinter. We have constructed a 3-He melting curve thermometer (MCT) with this type of heat exchanger and measured the thermal time response of the liquid 3-He inside the MCT in the temperature range T = 2-150 mK. We find a thermal relaxation time of ~ 490 s at T ~ 1 mK. We have used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to characterize the heat exchanger and BET absorption for determination of the specific surface area.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The primary concern of this contribution is that accreting millisecond pulsars (AMXPs) show a much larger amount of information than is commonly believed. The three questions to be addressed are: 1. Is the apparent spin torque observed in AMXPs real ? 2. Why do we see correlations and anti-correlations between fractional amplitudes and timing residuals in some AMXPs ? 3. Why the timing residuals, the lightcurve and the 1Hz QPO in SAX J1808.4$-$3658 are related ?

description: We describe a reverse integration approach for the exploration of low-dimensional effective potential landscapes. Coarse reverse integration initialized on a ring of coarse states enables efficient "navigation" on the landscape terrain: escape from local effective potential wells, detection of saddle points, and identification of significant transition paths between wells. We consider several distinct ring evolution modes: backward stepping in time, solution arc--length, and effective potential. The performance of these approaches is illustrated for a deterministic problem where the energy landscape is known explicitly. Reverse ring integration is then applied to "noisy" problems where the ring integration routine serves as an outer "wrapper" around a forward-in-time inner simulator. Three versions of such inner simulators are considered: a system of stochastic differential equations, a Gillespie--type stochastic simulator, and a molecular dynamics simulator. In these "equation-free" computational illustrations, estimation techniques are applied to the results of short bursts of "inner" simulation to obtain the unavailable (in closed form) quantities (local drift and diffusion coefficient estimates) required for reverse ring integration; this naturally leads to approximations of the effective landscape.

description: Shocks waves are a ubiquitous feature of many astrophysical plasma systems, and an important process for energy dissipation and transfer. The physics of these shock waves are frequently treated/modeled as a collisional, fluid MHD discontinuity, despite the fact that many shocks occur in the collisionless regime. In light of this, using fully kinetic, 3D simulations of non-relativistic, parallel propagating collisionless shocks comprised of electron-positron plasma, we detail the deviation of collisionless shocks form MHD predictions for varying magnetization/Alfvénic Mach numbers, with particular focus on systems with Alfénic Mach numbers much smaller than sonic Mach numbers. We show that the shock compression ratio decreases for sufficiently large upstream magnetic fields, in agreement with the predictions of Bret & Narayan (2018). Additionally, we examine the role of magnetic field strength on the shock front width. This work reinforces a growing body of work that suggest that modeling many astrophysical systems with only a fluid plasma description omits potentially important physics.

description: We studied the complete randomness of the angular distribution of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by BATSE. Since GRBs seem to be a mixture of objects of different physical nature we divided the BATSE sample into 5 subsamples (short1, short2, intermediate, long1, long2) based on their durations and peak fluxes and studied the angular distributions separately. We used three methods, Voronoi tesselation, minimal spanning tree and multifractal spectra to search for non-randomness in the subsamples. To investigate the eventual non-randomness in the subsamples we defined 13 test-variables (9 from the Voronoi tesselation, 3 from the minimal spanning tree and one from the multifractal spectrum). Assuming that the point patterns obtained from the BATSE subsamples are fully random we made Monte Carlo simulations taking into account the BATSE's sky-exposure function. The MC simulations enabled us to test the null hypothesis i.e. that the angular distributions are fully random. We tested the randomness by binomial test and introducing squared Euclidean distances in the parameter space of the test-variables. We concluded that the short1, short2 groups deviate significantly (99.90%, 99.98%) from the fully randomness in the distribution of the squared Euclidean distances but it is not the case at the long samples. At the intermediate group the squared Euclidean distances also give significant deviation (98.51%).

Obtaining pressure versus concentration phase diagrams in spin systems from Monte Carlo simulations

description: We propose an efficient procedure for determining phase diagrams of systems that are described by spin models. It consists of combining cluster algorithms with the method proposed by Sauerwein and de Oliveira where the grand canonical potential is obtained directly from the Monte Carlo simulation, without the necessity of performing numerical integrations. The cluster algorithm presented in this paper eliminates metastability in first order phase transitions allowing us to locate precisely the first-order transitions lines. We also produce a different technique for calculating the thermodynamic limit of quantities such as the magnetization whose infinite volume limit is not straightforward in first order phase transitions. As an application, we study the Andelman model for Langmuir monolayers made of chiral molecules that is equivalent to the Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin-1 model. We have obtained the phase diagrams in the case where the intermolecular forces favor interactions between enantiomers of the same type (homochiral interactions). In particular, we have determined diagrams in the surface pressure versus concentration plane which are more relevant from the experimental point of view and less usual in numerical studies.

description: The available information on isotopic abundances in the atmospheres of low-mass Red Giant Branch (RGB) and Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars requires that episodes of extensive mixing occur below the convective envelope, reaching down to layers close to the hydrogen burning shell (Cool Bottom Processing). Recently \cite{Busso:2007jw} suggested that dynamo-produced buoyant magnetic flux tubes could provide the necessary physical mechanisms and also supply sufficient transport rates. Here, we present an $α-Ω$ dynamo in the envelope of an RGB/AGB star in which shear and rotation drain via turbulent dissipation and Poynting flux. In this context, if the dynamo is to sustain throughout either phase, convection must resupply shear. Under this condition, volume-averaged, peak toroidal field strengths of $\simeq3\times10^3$ G (RGB) and $\simeq5\times10^3$ G (AGB) are possible at the base of the convection zone. If the magnetic fields are concentrated in flux tubes, the corresponding field strengths are comparable to those required by Cool Bottom Processing.
description: Replaced to correct small error in published version: In \S 2.1, paragraphs 2 and 3 incorrectly refer to the poloidal field when qualitatively discussing magnetic diffusion in the shear zone. The correct physical interpretation is that the toroidal field diffuses through the shear zone consistent with the value of $\beta_\phi$

description: We consider various integrable two-parameter deformations of the $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$ superstring with quantum group symmetry. Working on the string worldsheet in light-cone gauge and to quadratic order in fermions, we obtain their common massive tree-level two-body S matrix, which matches the expansion of the conjectured exact $q$-deformed S matrix. We then analyze the behavior of the exact S matrix under mirror transformation -- a double Wick rotation on the worldsheet -- and find that it satisfies a mirror duality relation analogous to the distinguished $q$-deformed $AdS_5 \times S^5$ S matrix in the one parameter deformation limit. Finally, we show that the fermionic $q$-deformed $AdS_5 \times S^5$ S matrix also satisfies such a relation.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sex-role orientation and interpersonal needs. The sample consisted of 59 heterosexual couples living together. Each subject was asked to fill out the Bern Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) which was used to determine the subjects sex-role orientation. Based on the results obtained, four sex-role orientation subgroups were formed: Androgynous, Masculine, Feminine and Undifferentiated. The Fundamental Interpersonal Relation Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B) was used to measure the subjects interpersonal needs in the areas of Inclusion, Control and Affection. The results obtained by each gender and each sex-role subgroup on the FIRO-B were compared with each other in order to determine if there were statistically significant differences among interpersonal needs of men, women and the four sex-role orientation groups. In analyzing the data, the strength and direction of the relationship between sex-role orientation and interpersonal needs was established. In addition each couple was asked to complete the Family Orientation Questionnaire in order to gather demographic data about the sample used in the study. The results indicated that the different sex-role orientation subgroups differed significantly in the area of Control. Masculine subjects had the greatest need to. express Control and Feminine subjects to receive Control. The Inclusion and Affection scales yielded non-significant results among sex-role orientation subgroups. Only the dimension, Expressed Affection, was statistically different between men and women (alpha = .05). Women had a greater need to express affection than men. The study showed some relation between sex-role orientation and interpersonal needs. Based on these results, the implications for counselling were analyzed and alternatives suggested.

description: O Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) é uma condição neurodesenvolvimental que afeta a comunicação, a interação social e o comportamento. Crianças com TEA frequentemente enfrentam dificuldades significativas na expressão de suas necessidades e desejos, o que pode impactar negativamente sua qualidade de vida e seu desenvolvimento social. A redução de danos é uma abordagem que visa minimizar os impactos negativos de determinadas condições ou comportamentos, adaptando-se às necessidades de cada indivíduo. No caso de crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA), essa estratégia se concentra em promover intervenções que respeitem as particularidades e desafios de cada criança, sem exigir uma mudança radical de comportamento. Aplicada à saúde pública e à atenção básica, a redução de danos para crianças com TEA envolve a criação de ambientes inclusivos, estratégias terapêuticas individualizadas e o suporte adequado para minimizar situações de estresse ou sobrecarga sensorial. Essa abordagem busca garantir que as crianças com TEA possam desenvolver suas habilidades e melhorar sua qualidade de vida, respeitando seus limites e promovendo sua autonomia.
The Inconvenient Truth About Coronal Dimmings

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We investigate the occurrence of a CME-driven coronal dimming using unique high resolution spectral images of the corona from the Hinode spacecraft. Over the course of the dimming event we observe the dynamic increase of non-thermal line broadening in the 195.12Angstrom emission line of Fe XII as the corona opens. As the corona begins to close, refill and brighten, we see a reduction of the non-thermal broadening towards the pre-eruption level. We propose that the dynamic evolution of non-thermal broadening is the result of the growth of Alfven wave amplitudes in the magnetically open rarefied dimming region, compared to the dense closed corona prior to the CME. We suggest, based on this proposition, that, as open magnetic regions, coronal dimmings must act just as coronal holes and be sources of the fast solar wind, but only temporarily. Further, we propose that such a rapid transition in the thermodynamics of the corona to a solar wind state may have an impulsive effect on the CME that initiates the observed dimming. This last point, if correct, poses a significant physical challenge to the sophistication of CME modeling and capturing the essence of the source region thermodynamics necessary to correctly ascertain CME propagation speeds, etc.

description: We present the results of an extragalactic point source search using the five-year WMAP 41, 61 and 94 GHz (Q-, V- and W-band) temperature maps. This work is an extension of our point source search in the WMAP maps applying a CMB-free technique. An internal linear combination (ILC) map has been formed from the three-band maps, with the weights chosen to remove the CMB anisotropy signal as well as to favor a selection of flat-spectrum sources. We find 381 sources at the > 5 sigma level outside the WMAP point source detection mask in the ILC map, among which 89 are "new" (i.e., not present in the WMAP catalog). Source fluxes have been calculated and corrected for the Eddington bias. We have solidly identified 367 (96.3%) of our sources. The 1 sigma positional uncertainty is estimated to be 2'. The 14 unidentified sources could be either extended radio structure or obscured by Galactic emission. We have also applied the same detection process on simulated maps and found 364+/-21 detections on average. The recovered source distribution N(>S) agrees well with the simulation input, which proves the reliability of this method.

description: Spin glasses are systems whose magnetic moments freeze at low temperature into random orientations without long-range order. It is generally accepted that both frustration and disorder are essential ingredients in all spin glasses, so it was surprising that PrAu2Si2, a stoichiometric compound with a well-ordered crystal structure, was reported to exhibit spin glass freezing. In this article, we report on inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the crystal field excitations, which show that PrAu2Si2 has a singlet ground state and that the exchange coupling is very close to the critical value to induce magnetic order. We propose that spin glass freezing results from dynamic fluctuations of the crystal field levels that destabilize the induced moments and frustrate the development of long-range magnetic correlations. This novel mechanism for producing a frustrated ground state could provide a method of testing the concept of `avoided criticality' in glassy systems.

description: We present a search for the decay $\B^+ \to \ell^+ ν_{\ell} (\ell = τ, μ, \mathrm{or} e)$ in $(458.9 \pm 5.1) \times 10^{6}$ $Υ(4S)$ decays recorded with the Babar detector at the SLAC PEP-II $B$-Factory. A sample of events with one reconstructed exclusive semi-leptonic B decay ($B^{-}\to D^{0} \ell^{-}\barν X$) is selected, and in the recoil a search for $\B^+ \to \ell^+ ν_{\ell}$ signal is performed. The $τ$ is identified in the following channels: $τ^+ \to e^+ ν_e \overlineν_τ$, $τ^+ \to μ^+ ν_μ \overlineν_τ$, $τ^+ \to π^+ \overlineν_τ$, and $τ^+ \to π^+ π^{0} \overlineν_τ$. The analysis strategy and the statistical procedure is set up for the branching fraction extraction or upper limit determination. We determine from the dataset a preliminary measurement of $\mathcal{B}(\B^+ \to τ^+ ν_τ) = (1.8 \pm 0.8 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{-4}$, which excludes zero at $2.4 σ$, and $f_{B} = 230 \pm 57 \mev $. Combination with the hadronically tagged measurement yields $\mathcal{B}(\B^+ \to τ^+ ν_τ) = (1.8 \pm 0.6) \times 10^{-4}$. We also set preliminary limits on the branching fractions at $\mathcal{B}(\B^+ \to e^+ ν_{e}) < 7.7 \times 10^{-6} (\textrm{90% C.L.})$, $\mathcal{B}(\B^+ \to μ^+ ν_μ) < 11 \times 10^{-6} (\textrm{90% C.L.})$, and $\mathcal{B}(\B^+ \to τ^+ ν_τ) < 3.2 \times 10^{-4} (\textrm{90% C.L.})$.

description: Vesicle dynamics in unbounded Poiseuille flow is analyzed using a small-deformation theory. Our analytical results quantitatively describe vesicle migration and provide new physical insights. At low ratio between the inner and outer viscosity $λ$ (i.e. in the tank-treading regime), the vesicle always migrates towards the flow centerline, unlike other soft particles such as drops. Above a critical $λ$, vesicle tumbles and cross-stream migration vanishes. A novel feature is predicted, namely the coexistence of two types of nonequilibrium configurations at the centreline, a bullet-like and a parachute-like shapes.

Authors’ Moral Rights after Death

Publisher: name: University of Vienna Law Review
Year: 2019

description: This article examines the disputed question of what happens to the moral rights of an author after his or her death. The focus is on the monistic model of copyright in German and Austrian law as well as that of the Berne Convention. The explanations are supplemented by comparative views on French and American law. Drawing on three perspectives, namely private law, personality rights, and copyright, the article concludes that a good argument can be made that the author’s legal successors are bound by the interests and intentions of the deceased author. Thus, exercise or dispositions of moral rights by the author’s legal successors can only take place within the limits set by the deceased or by the Copyright Act itself. With regard to the term of protection, it is shown that there is no difference between copyright and moral rights.

description: We consider the existence of the topological entropy of shift spaces on a finitely generated semigroup whose Cayley graph is a tree. The considered semigroups include free groups. On the other hand, the notion of stem entropy is introduced. For shift spaces on a strict free semigroup, the stem entropy coincides with the topological entropy. We reveal a sufficient condition for the existence of the stem entropy of shift spaces on a semigroup. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the topological entropy exists in many cases and is identical to the stem entropy.

description: The Amazon rainforest is the most diverse Brazilian biome regarding primate diversity, with 77% of the 139 taxa described for Brazil. Despite its ecological importance, Amazonian biodiversity is relatively unknown. The objective of this study is to present the results of an inventory of primates in the National Forest of Tefé, Brazil, including its buffer zone, and highlight some threats identified. Data collection was carried out using four methods: survey of
the animals in scientific collections, a survey in situ, collection of data and biological material from captive
animals, and interviews of local residents. Fifty encounters in the wild and 14 encounters in captivity were
recorded with the identification of 12 species. Twelve interviews resulted in the identification of 13 species and 9 were identified following the survey of museum specimens from the region – 14 species overall. Aotus
vociferans was not expected for the study area, and this record has extended the species’ known range.
During the interviews, we identified a preference for hunting the larger primates, such as Lagothrix cana,
Ateles chamek, Alouatta puruensis, and Sapajus macrocephalus, totalizing 27 (84.3%) records. The results
of this study demonstrate that the National Forest of Tefé has a significant diversity of primates, representing

description: AXTAR is an X-ray observatory mission concept, currently under study in the U.S., that combines very large collecting area, broadband spectral coverage, high time resolution, highly flexible scheduling, and an ability to respond promptly to time-critical targets of opportunity. It is optimized for submillisecond timing of bright Galactic X-ray sources in order to study phenomena at the natural time scales of neutron star surfaces and black hole event horizons, thus probing the physics of ultradense matter, strongly curved spacetimes, and intense magnetic fields. AXTAR's main instrument is a collimated, thick Si pixel detector with 2-50 keV coverage and 8 square meters collecting area. For timing observations of accreting neutron stars and black holes, AXTAR provides at least an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over both RXTE and Constellation-X. AXTAR also carries a sensitive sky monitor that acts as a trigger for pointed observations of X-ray transients and also provides continuous monitoring of the X-ray sky with 20 times the sensitivity of the RXTE ASM. AXTAR builds on detector and electronics technology previously developed for other applications and thus combines high technical readiness and well understood cost.

Machinery of Male Violence
Creators: name: Rydstrom, Helle
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2019

description: This article takes the notion of crisis as a helpful analytical entry point to unfold the tem- poralities and modalities of the machinery of violence as manifested in men’s abuse of their female partners in Vietnam. Based on ethnographic research I conducted over the years, the article argues that some types of crises might be episodic, and thus a bracketing of daily life, while others, such as intimate partner violence, might settle as a crisis of chronicity; as a condition of prolonged difficulties and pain that surreptitiously becomes a new ‘normal’. The machinery of violence, the article shows, refers to processes of symbolic and material transformations of a targeted woman, shaped in accordance with a perpetra- tor’s essentialist imaginations about her embodied properties (e.g., gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity, and bodyableness). Such violence is invigorated by a patrilineal organization of society and a systemic permissiveness to male-to-female abuse. A battered woman is con- fined to an interregnum; a space in which the laws of protection do not apply and male violence is perpetrated with impunity. Yet, men’s violence against their female partners also is combatted and resisted in Vietnamese society.

THE ARTISTIC REPRESENTATION OF THE "AMERICAN DREAM" CONCEPT IN 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE
Creators: name: Valiyeva, Irodaxon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The "American Dream" has been a central theme in 20th-century American literature, reflecting the aspirations, struggles, and realities of American society. This paper explores the artistic representation of the American Dream in literary works of the century, analyzing how different authors interpreted and depicted this concept. Through the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Arthur Miller, John Steinbeck, and other prominent writers, the study examines how literature portrays success, materialism, social mobility, and disillusionment. The research highlights how the American Dream evolved over time, shaped by historical and social changes, and how literature served as a mirror to these transformations.

description: Arbitrary operator A on a Banach space X which is the generator of C_0-group with certain growth condition at infinity is considered. The relationship between its exponential type entire vectors and its spectral subspaces is found. Inverse theorems on connection between the degree of smoothness of vector $x\in X$ with respect to operator A, the rate of convergence to zero of the best approximation of x by exponential type entire vectors for operator A, and the k-module of continuity are established. Also, a generalization of the Bernstein-type inequality is obtained. The results allow to obtain Bernstein-type inequalities in weighted L_p spaces.

The Spin Distribution of Millisecond X-ray Pulsars

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The spin frequency distribution of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars cuts off sharply above 730 Hz, well below the breakup spin rate for most neutron star equations of state. I review several different ideas for explaining this cutoff. There is currently considerable interest in the idea that gravitational radiation from rapidly rotating pulsars might act to limit spin up by accretion, possibly allowing eventual direct detection with gravitational wave interferometers. I describe how long-term X-ray timing of fast accreting millisecond pulsars like the 599 Hz source IGR J00291+5934 can test the gravitational wave model for the spin frequency limit.

Relational Quantum Mechanics and the PBR Theorem: A Peaceful Coexistence

description: According to Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM) the wave function $ψ$ is considered neither a concrete physical item evolving in spacetime, nor an object representing the absolute state of a certain quantum system. In this interpretative framework, $ψ$ is defined as a computational device encoding observers' information; hence, RQM offers a somewhat epistemic view of the wave function. This perspective seems to be at odds with the PBR theorem, a formal result excluding that wave functions represent knowledge of an underlying reality described by some ontic state. In this paper we argue that RQM is not affected by the conclusions of PBR's argument; consequently, the alleged inconsistency can be dissolved. To do that, we will thoroughly discuss the very foundations of the PBR theorem, i.e. Harrigan and Spekkens' categorization of ontological models, showing that their implicit assumptions about the nature of the ontic state are incompatible with the main tenets of RQM. Then, we will ask whether it is possible to derive a relational PBR-type result, answering in the negative. This conclusion shows some limitations of this theorem not yet discussed in the literature.
L'analyse des risques dans les contrats de partenariat public privé au Maroc
Creators: name: HANJIR, JAOUAD
Publisher: name: FSJES Meknès
Year: 2021

description: Durant la dernière décennie, le Maroc a fait le choix d'intensifier l'utilisation des fonds privés par le service public sous forme de contrats appelés Partenariats Public-Privés (PPP). Le contrat de partenariat public-privé est une forme d'association entre le secteur public et le secteur privé dont l'exécution des projets communs d'intérêt public. Les deux parties de cette convention entendent à réaliser des bénéfices et partager les risques. A cet effet, un partage adéquat des risques dans un projet de partenariat est au coeur de la mise en oeuvre des PPP. En effet, l'identification, la répartition et la maîtrise de l'ensemble des risques susceptibles d'influencer le projet font l'objet d'une approche plus élaborée qu'avec les formes traditionnelles de la commande publique. Cet article vise à examiner les catégories des risques possibles dans un contrat PPP. Il entend, de même, expliquer les risques encourus par chacun des protagonistes lors de la conclusion, l'exécution et l'exploitation des contrats PPP. Enfin, il présente l'interet de l'évaluation préalable et l'analyse comparative pour la réussite des projets PPP.

description: We investigate the impact of both slow and fast polarization modulation strategies on the science return of upcoming ground-based experiments aimed at measuring the B-mode polarization of the CMB. Using simulations of the Clover experiment, we compare the ability of modulated and un-modulated observations to recover the signature of gravitational waves in the polarized CMB sky in the presence of a number of anticipated systematic effects. The general expectations that fast modulation is helpful in mitigating low-frequency detector noise, and that the additional redundancy in the projection of the instrument's polarization sensitivity directions onto the sky when modulating reduces the impact of instrumental polarization, are borne out by our simulations. Neither low-frequency polarized atmospheric fluctuations nor systematic errors in the polarization sensitivity directions are mitigated by modulation. Additionally, we find no significant reduction in the effect of pointing errors by modulation. For a Clover-like experiment, pointing jitter should be negligible but any systematic mis-calibration of the polarization coordinate reference system results in significant E-B mixing on all angular scales and will require careful control. We also stress the importance of combining data from multiple detectors in order to remove the effects of common-mode systematics (such as 1/f atmospheric noise) on the measured polarization signal. Finally we compare the performance of our simulated experiment with the predicted performance from a Fisher analysis. We find good agreement between the Fisher predictions and the simulations except for the very largest scales where the power spectrum estimator we have used introduces additional variance to the B-mode signal recovered from our simulations.

description: Nitrogen trifluoride is an inorganic, colorless, non-flammable, toxic gas with a slightly musty odor. Nitrogen trifluoride is also an extremely strong and long-lived greenhouse gas. It proved to be far less reactive than the other nitrogen trihalides nitrogen trichloride, nitrogen tribromide and nitrogen triiodide, all of which are explosive. Alone among the nitrogen trihalides it has a negative enthalpy of formation. It is prepared in modern times both by direct reaction of ammonia and fluorine and by a variation of Ruff's method. It is supplied in pressurized cylinders. Nitrogen trifluoride is primarily used to remove silicon and silicon-compounds during the manufacturing of semiconductor devices.

description: We discuss the criteria that must be satisfied by a well-posed variational principle. We clarify the role of Gibbons-Hawking-York type boundary terms in the actions of higher derivative models of gravity, such as F(R) gravity, and argue that the correct boundary terms are the naive ones obtained though the correspondence with scalar-tensor theory, despite the fact that variations of normal derivatives of the metric must be fixed on the boundary. We show in the case of F(R) gravity that these boundary terms reproduce the correct ADM energy in the hamiltonian formalism, and the correct entropy for black holes in the semi-classical approximation.
