description: In spite of their original discrepancy, both dark energy and modified theory of gravity can be parameterized by the effective equation of state (EOS) $ω$ for the expansion history of the Universe. A useful model independent approach to the EOS of them can be given by so-called Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parametrization where two parameters of it ($ω_{0}$ and $ω_{a}$) can be constrained by the geometrical observations which suffer from degeneracies between models. The linear growth of large scale structure is usually used to remove these degeneracies. This growth can be described by the growth index parameter $γ$ and it can be parameterized by $γ_{0} + γ_{a} (1 - a)$ in general. We use the scalar-tensor theories of gravity (STG) and show that the discernment between models is possible only when $γ_a$ is not negligible. We show that the linear density perturbation of the matter component as a function of redshift severely constrains the viable subclasses of STG in terms of $ω$ and $γ$. From this method, we can rule out or prove the viable STG in future observations. When we use $Z(ϕ) =1$, $F$ shows the convex shape of evolution in a viable STG model. The viable STG models with $Z(ϕ) = 1$ are not distinguishable from dark energy models when we strongly limit the solar system constraint.

Evaluation of restricted-area culling strategies to control local red fox density
Creators: name: Porteus, Thomas Allen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Lethal control of red foxes is often implemented on restricted areas where immigration from neighbouring sources is expected to make it difficult to keep local fox density low. The justification of lethal wildlife control should include demonstrating its effectiveness. To this end, population dynamics modelling may help to assess the performance of different control strategies in a range of real-world circumstances. A Bayesian state-space model for within-year fox population dynamics was developed that could be fitted to data on daily culling effort and success obtained from gamekeepers on shooting estates in Britain. The estimation model included parameters for key population processes within the culling area: immigration, cub recruitment and non-culling mortality. A simulation-estimation study showed that given a minimum of three years’ data the estimation of fox density and demographic parameters was reliable. Informative priors for the key model parameters were constructed using empirical data and meta-analysis. Data from 22 estates were modelled on a two-weekly time-step. Most estates achieved some suppression of the fox population relative to estimated carrying capacity, but few maintained consistently low densities. The number of foxes killed was a poor indicator of culling effectiveness, highlighting the need for modelling. Estimated immigration rates onto estates were typically high, indicating rapid replacement of culled foxes. There was unexpectedly high spatial variation among estates in estimated carrying capacity and immigration rate. There was evidence from a limited subset of estates that the variable density of released game birds may explain this. The food requirement of the fox population during the nesting period was assumed to indicate predation pressure on wild birds. Alternative culling strategies to reduce this requirement were evaluated using posterior parameter estimates from some estates. Culling concentrated in spring and summer only was more effective than culling uniformly throughout the year. Autumn-only culling was not an effective strategy for wild birds. Open-loop strategies were most effective as culling effort was used all the time. However, closed-loop strategies, where culling effort was conditional on feedback from simulated field-sign searches, achieved similar effects on food requirements using less effort. This revealed trade-offs between effectiveness, cost and animal welfare.

description: A 1M- and a 4M-pixel monolithic CMOS active pixel sensor with 9.5x9.5 micron^2 pixels have been developed for direct imaging in transmission electron microscopy as part of the TEAM project. We present the design and a full characterisation of the detector. Data collected with electron beams at various energies of interest in electron microscopy are used to determine the detector response. Data are compared to predictions of simulation. The line spread function measured with 80 keV and 300 keV electrons is (12.1+/-0.7) micron and (7.4+/-0.6) micron, respectively, in good agreement with our simulation. We measure the detection quantum efficiency to be 0.78+/-0.04 at 80 keV and 0.74+/-0.03 at 300 keV. Using a new imaging technique, based on single electron reconstruction, the line spread function for 80 keV and 300 keV electrons becomes (6.7+/-0.3) micron and (2.4+/-0.2) micron, respectively. The radiation tolerance of the pixels has been tested up to 5 Mrad and the detector is still functional with a decrease of dynamic range by ~30%, corresponding to a reduction in full-well depth from ~39 to ~27 primary 300 keV electrons, due to leakage current increase, but identical line spread function performance.

description: The need for low power alternatives to digital electronic circuits has led to increasing interest in logic devices where information is stored in nanomagnets. This includes both nanomagnetic logic (NML) where information is communicated through magnetic fields of nanomagnets and all-spin logic (ASL) where information is communicated through spin currents. A key feature needed for logic implementation is non-reciprocity, whereby the output is switched according to the input but not the other way around, thus providing directed information transfer. The objective of this paper is to draw attention to possible ASL-based schemes that utilize the physics of spin-torque to build in non-reciprocity similar to transistors that could allow logic implementation without the need for special clocking schemes. We use an experimentally benchmarked coupled spin-transport/ magnetization-dynamics model to show that a suitably engineered single ASL unit indeed switches in a non-reciprocal manner. We then present heuristic arguments explaining the origin of this directed information transfer. Finally we present simulations showing that individual ASL devices with inbuilt directionality can be cascaded to construct circuits.

description: We generate bipartite states of light which exhibit an absence of multiphoton coincidence events between two modes amid a constant background flux. These `correlated photon holes' are produced by mixing a coherent state and relatively weak spontaneous parametric down-conversion using a balanced beamsplitter. Correlated holes with arbitrarily high photon numbers may be obtained by adjusting the relative phase and amplitude of the inputs. We measure states of up to five photons and verify their nonclassicality. The scheme provides a route for observation of high-photon-number nonclassical correlations without requiring intense quantum resources.

description: A distributed XML document is an XML document that spans several machines. We assume that a distribution design of the document tree is given, consisting of an XML kernel-document T[f1,...,fn] where some leaves are "docking points" for external resources providing XML subtrees (f1,...,fn, standing, e.g., for Web services or peers at remote locations). The top-down design problem consists in, given a type (a schema document that may vary from a DTD to a tree automaton) for the distributed document, "propagating" locally this type into a collection of types, that we call typing, while preserving desirable properties. We also consider the bottom-up design which consists in, given a type for each external resource, exhibiting a global type that is enforced by the local types, again with natural desirable properties. In the article, we lay out the fundamentals of a theory of distributed XML design, analyze problems concerning typing issues in this setting, and study their complexity.

Common lymphoid progenitor-independent pathways of innate and T lymphocyte development
Creators: name: Ghaedi, Maryam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: All lymphocytes are thought to develop from a single population of committed lymphoid progenitors termed common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs). However, upstream progenitors termed lymphoid-primed multi-potent progenitors (LMPPs) are known to be more efficient than CLPs in differentiating into T cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), suggesting alternative pathways of their development. Here, we have divided LMPPs into CD127- (LMPP-s) and CD127+ (LMPP+s) subsets and compared them with CLPs. Adult LMPP+s are the most efficient progenitors for T cells and ILCs in transplantation assays, and lineage tracking by the recombinase expression also suggests that most ILC2s and NK cells develop from LMPPs independent of CLPs. In the neonatal period CLPs are rare and, unlike prominent neonatal LMPP+s, incapable of differentiating into ILC2s and T cells while their development is highly active. These results suggest non-linear pathways of innate and T lymphocyte development from LMPP+s with limited CLP contributions.

description: Solar energy harvesting using semiconductor photocatalysis offers an enticing solution to two of the biggest societal challenges, energy scarcity and environmental pollution. After decades of effort, no photocatalyst exists which can simultaneously meet the demand for excellent absorption, high quantum efficiency and photochemical resilience/durability. While CdS is an excellent photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution, pollutant degradation and organic synthesis, photocorrosion of CdS leads to the deactivation of the catalyst. Surface passivation of CdS with 2D graphitic carbon nitrides (CN) such as g-C3N4 and C3N5 has been shown to mitigate the photocorrosion problem but the poor oxidizing power of photogenerated holes in CN limits the utility of this approach for photooxidation reactions. We report the synthesis of exfoliated 2D nanosheets of a modified carbon nitride constituted of tris-s-triazine (C6N7) linked pyromellitic dianhydride polydiimide (CN:PDI) with a deep oxidative highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) position, which ensures sufficient oxidizing power for photogenerated holes in CN. The heterojunction formed by the wrapping of mono-/few layered CN:PDI on CdS nanorods (CdS/CN:PDI) was determined to be an excellent photocatalyst for oxidation reactions including photoelectrochemical water splitting, dye decolorization and the photocatalytic conversion of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. Extensive structural characterization using HR-TEM, Raman, XPS, etc., confirmed wrapping of few-layered CN:PDI on CdS nanorods. The increased photoactivity in CdS/CN:PDI catalyst was ascribed to facile electron transfer from CdS to CN:PDI in comparison to CdS/g-C3N4, leading to an increased electron density on the surface of the photocatalyst to drive chemical reactions.

We show that for large spin the asymptotic solutions have the Gribov-Lipatov recirocity property. To obtain this result we use a hidden modular invariance of the energy-spin relation of the folded spinning string. Further we identify the Moch-Vermaseren-Vogt (MVV) relations, which were first recognized in plain QCD calculations, as the recurrence relations of the asymptotic series ansatz.

description: Motivated by the recent use of certain consistent truncations of M-theory to study condensed matter physics using holographic techniques, we study the SU(3)-invariant sector of four-dimensional, N=8 gauged supergravity and compute the complete scalar spectrum at each of the five non-trivial critical points. We demonstrate that the smaller SU(4)^- sector is equivalent to a consistent truncation studied recently by various authors and find that the critical point in this sector, which has been proposed as the ground state of a holographic superconductor, is unstable due to a family of scalars that violate the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. We also derive the origin of this instability in eleven dimensions and comment on the generalization to other embeddings of this critical point which involve arbitrary Sasaki-Einstein seven manifolds. In the spirit of a resurging interest in consistent truncations, we present a formal treatment of the SU(3)-invariant sector as a U(1)xU(1) gauged N=2 supergravity theory coupled to one hypermultiplet.

description: There are neglections on the ample park activity resources within Montgomery County, MD. As a result, park visitors are missing out the opportunities to discover and enjoy various points of interest in parks that would optimize their outdoor experiences. It is therefore, essential to examine what needs to take place for exposing the points of interest in parks to park visitors and encourage them to engage with the activities associated with those points of interest. Inspired by Pokémon GO, a game developed by Niantic uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures; the Montgomery County Department of Parks worked with a graduate student from iSchool at University of Maryland, College Park in developing a GPS enabled mobile first gaming website for park visitors to locate, engage with points of interest and compete each other by score. The website strives to bring all points of interest together to park visitors with a common purpose: to fulfill their right to experience a physically active life.

description: We present the first observations of a probable brown dwarf, obtained with the new spectrograph X-shooter mounted on the UT2@VLT. The target (2MASS J053825.4-024241) is a 0.06 Msun object in the star-formation region sigma Orionis. The X-shooter spectrum covers simultaneously the whole range from UV to NIR (300-2500 nm). The J053825.4-024241 spectrum is rich in emission lines that are typical of accreting young object and clearly shows the Balmer jump. Moreover, many photospheric atomic and molecular absorption lines yield the spectral type and confirm that the object is young. We compute the mass accretion rate from all available observed accretion diagnostics. We find that there is a large spread in the Macc values (up to a factor 40) that is not caused by variability; some of this spread may be intrinsic, i.e., owing to different physical conditions of the emitting region for the same Macc. However, within the large error bars all Macc measurements agree, and the mean value is logMacc ~ -9.86 +- 0.45 Myr. The hydrogen Balmer lines are clearly detected up to n=25. Their ratios suggest that the emitting region is cold (T~2000-3000 K), dense and in thermal equilibrium (LTE), and that the lines are optically thick up to n~21. We briefly discuss the implications of this result for magnetospheric accretion models.

I cannot place this : grief as destabilized order in interactive metafiction
Creators: name: Sharpe, Jillian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Julio Cortázar’s Hopscotch and BS Johnson’s The Unfortunates depict the effects of loss on self-perception in a way that is informed by these books’ unconventional physical structures. Both are interactive texts that identify the fragmentation of the self as a key feature of grief and their aleatory, randomizable structures perform the involuntary and disruptive nature that Susan Brison identifies as characteristic of traumatic memory. These experimental books thus call attention to the physicality of reading and to the reader’s role as an active participant who is responsible for the construction of meaning that arises from physically ordering each text. The fragmentary nature of the grieving subject is embodied by chapter divisions, which in both texts act as the primary sites of randomization. In this respect, the chapters of these books can be productively understood using the framework of Derridean citationality, as their ability to be re-ordered in different contexts enables a multiplicity of potential meanings. The metafictional themes of both books further destabilize clear divisions between author and reader, with the texts ultimately suggesting that grief involves a disruption of the individual’s ability to position themselves within organizational frameworks such as causality that would enable straightforward comprehension of the self in relation to the world.

description: We consider transitions of electron holes (vacancies in otherwise filled shells of atomic systems) in multiply-charged ions that, due to level-crossing of the holes, have frequencies within the range of optical atomic clocks. Strong E1 transitions provide new options for laser-cooling and trapping, while narrow transitions can be used for high-precision spectroscopy and tests of fundamental physics. We show that hole transitions can have extremely high sensitivity to alpha-variation due to large relativistic corrections, and propose candidate transitions that have much larger alpha-sensitivities than any previously seen in atomic systems.

description: The switchable chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have shown many advantages in CAR T-cell therapy. However, human primary T-cells are required to evaluate antigen-specific adaptors by IFN-γ assay or FACS analysis, which limits the throughput of adaptor screening. A sensitive and robust CD16-CAR Jurkat NFAT-eGFP reporter system has been developed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of antibody-targeted CAR-T-cell by effectively evaluating the T-cell activation by various tumor cells and the impact of immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies. This reporter system facilitates the screening of targeted antibodies in a high throughput manner for the development of improved T-cell immunotherapy.

description: We calculate the condensate and the vacuum current density induced by external static magnetic fields in (2+1)-dimensions. At the perturbative level, we consider an exponentially decaying magnetic field along one cartesian coordinate. Non-perturbatively, we obtain the fermion propagator in the presence of a uniform magnetic field by solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation in the rainbow-ladder approximation. In the large flux limit, we observe that both these quantities, either perturbative (inhomogeneous) and non-perturbative (homogeneous), are proportional to the external field, in agreement with early expectations.

description: This article constructs flat-sky approximations in a controlled way in the context of the cosmic microwave background observations for the computation of both spectra and bispectra. For angular spectra, it is explicitly shown that there exists a whole family of flat-sky approximations of similar accuracy for which the expression and amplitude of next to leading order terms can be explicitly computed. It is noted that in this context two limiting cases can be encountered for which the expressions can be further simplified. They correspond to cases where either the sources are localized in a narrow region (thin-shell approximation) or are slowly varying over a large distance (which leads to the so-called Limber approximation). Applying this to the calculation of the spectra it is shown that, as long as the late integrated Sachs-Wolfe contribution is neglected, the flat-sky approximation at leading order is accurate at 1% level for any multipole. Generalization of this construction scheme to the bispectra led to the introduction of an alternative description of the bispectra for which the flat-sky approximation is well controlled. This is not the case for the usual description of the bispectrum in terms of reduced bispectrum for which a flat-sky approximation is proposed but the next-to-leading order terms of which remain obscure.

description: Randomized trials of triple therapy including an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reported remarkable benefits on mortality compared with dual bronchodilators, likely resulting from ICS withdrawal at randomization. We compared triple therapy with dual bronchodilator combinations on major COPD outcomes in a real-world clinical practice setting. We identified a cohort of COPD patients, age 50 or older, treated during 2002-2018, from the United Kingdom’s Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Patients initiating treatment with a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) and an ICS on the same day, were compared with patients initiating a LAMA and LABA, weighted by fine stratification of propensity scores. Subjects were followed-up one year for all-cause mortality, severe exacerbation and pneumonia. The cohort included 117,729 new-users of LAMA-LABA-ICS and 26,666 of LAMA-LABA. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause mortality with LAMA-LABA-ICS compared with LAMA-LABA was 1.17 (95% CI: 1.04-1.31) while for severe exacerbation and pneumonia it was 1.19 (1.08-1.32) and 1.29 (1.16-1.45) respectively. However, mortality was not elevated with triple therapy among patients with asthma diagnosis (HR 0.99; 95% CI: 0.74-1.34), with two or more prior exacerbations (HR 0.88; 95% CI: 0.70-1.11), and with FEV1 percent predicted >30%. In a real-world setting of COPD treatment, triple therapy initiation was not more effective than dual bronchodilators at preventing all-cause mortality and severe COPD exacerbations. Triple therapy may be unsafe among patients without prior exacerbations, in whom ICS are not recommended, with no asthma diagnosis and with very severe airflow obstruction.

description: The use of the bacterial efflux pump mechanism to reduce the concentrations of antibiotics in the intracellular to the extracellular region is one of the main mechanisms by which bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics. The present study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the α,β-amyrin mixture isolated from Protium heptaphyllum against the multidrug-resistant strains of Escherichia coli 06 and Staphylococcus aureus 10, and to verify the inhibition of the efflux resistance mechanisms against the strains of S. aureus 1199B and K2068, carrying the NorA and MepA efflux pumps, respectively. The α,β-amyrin did not show clinically relevant direct bacterial activity. However, the α,β-amyrin when associated with the gentamicin antibiotic presented synergistic effect against the multidrug-resistant bacterial strain of S. aureus 10. In strains with efflux pumps, α,β-amyrin was able to inhibit the action of the efflux protein NorA against Ethidium Bromide. However, this inhibitory effect was not observed in the MepA efflux pump. In addition, when evaluating the effect of standard efflux pump inhibitors, clorptomazine and CCCP, α,β-amyrin showed a decrease in MIC, demonstrating the presence of the efflux mechanism through synergism. Docking studies indicate that α, β-amyrin have a higher affinity energy to MepA, and NorA than ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin. Also, α, β-amyrin bind to the same region of the binding site as these antibiotics. It was concluded that the α, β-amyrin has the potential to increase antibacterial activity with the association of antibiotics, together with the ability to be a strong candidate for an efflux pump inhibitor.

description: Einstein, Podolsky & Rosen (EPR) pointed out that correlations induced between quantum objects will persist after these objects have ceased to interact. Consequently, their joint continuous variables (CV), e.g., the difference of their positions and the sum of their momenta, may be specified, regardless of their distance, with arbitrary precision. EPR correlations give rise to two fundamental notions: {\em nonlocal ``steering''} of the quantum state of one object by measuring the other, and inseparability ({\em entanglement}) of their quantum states. EPR entanglement is a resource of quantum information (QI) and CV teleportation of light and matter waves. It has lately been demonstrated for {\em collective} CV of distant thermal-gas clouds, correlated by interaction with a common field. Here we demonstrate that collective CV of two species of trapped ultracold bosonic gases can be EPR-correlated (entangled) via {\em inherent} interactions between the species. This paves the way to further QI applications of such systems, which are atomic analogs of coupled superconducting Josephson Junctions (JJ). A precursor of this study has been the observation of quantum correlations (squeezing) in a single bosonic JJ.

The targum (1875:June)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1875

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: The new IR-improved Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi-Callan-Symanzik (DGLAP-CS) kernels recently developed by one of us is implemented in the HERWIG6.5 environment to generate a new MC, HERWIRI1.0(31), for hadron-hadron scattering at high energies. The comparison between the parton shower generated by the standard DGLAP-CS kernels and that generated by the new IR-improved DGLAP-CS kernels is illustrated using MC data. This is done for some of the respective exact {\cal O}(α_s) corrected spectra using the seamless interfaces to MC@NLO while making comparisons with FNAL data. Some discussion of possible implications for LHC phenomenology is also presented.

Systemic oppression in children's portal-quest fantasy literature
Creators: name: Owen, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis investigates the representation of systemic oppression in Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Employing Foucauldian poststructuralism and critical discourse analysis, this research identifies how the social systems of the fantasy texts construct hierarchies based on race and gender, and social norms based on sexuality and disability. Privilege and oppression are identified as the results of the relaying of power relations by social institutions through strategies such as dominant discourses. This study questions the historically understood role of children’s and fantasy literature as socialization tools, and the potential negative consequences of this.

description: Using high-precision astrometric optical observations from the Walter Baade Magellan Telescope in conjunction with high-resolution very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) radio imaging with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), we have located the core of the X-ray binary system XTE J1752-223. Compact radio emission from the core was detected following the state transition from the soft to the hard X-ray state. Its position to the south-east of all previously-detected jet components mandated a re-analysis of the existing VLBI data. Our analysis suggests that the outburst comprised at least two ejection events prior to 2010 February 26. No radio-emitting components were detected to the south-east of the core at any epoch, suggesting that the receding jets were Doppler-deboosted below our sensitivity limit. From the ratio of the brightness of the detected components to the measured upper limits for the receding ejecta, we constrain the jet speed to be greater than 0.66c and the inclination angle to the line of sight to be less than 49 degrees. Assuming that the initial ejection event occurred at the transition from the hard intermediate state to the soft intermediate state, an initial period of ballistic motion followed by a Sedov phase (i.e. self-similar adiabatic expansion) appears to fit the motion of the ejecta better than a uniform deceleration model. The accurate core location can provide a long time baseline for a future proper motion determination should the system show a second outburst, providing insights into the formation mechanism of the compact object.

description: Ohne die unbezahlte Mithilfe von Freiwilligen kann kein Gemeinwesen bestehen. Die Pflege von Alten und Behinderten, das Engagement für Umwelt- und Naturschutz, der Einsatz als Wahlhelfer oder Schöffe, die Ehrenämter in Kommunen, Sport und Kirchen; all diese Gemeinaufgaben und Funktionen sind faktisch auf freiwillige Arbeit angewiesen. Die Konturen einer Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie freiwilliger Arbeit beginnen jedoch erst sichtbar zu werden. Frei-gemeinnützige Arbeit, d.h. freiwillige Arbeit für ein Gemeinwesen, unterliegt heute individueller Sinnbildung und Gestaltung. Sie tritt bisweilen in ein kompensatives Verhältnis zur Erwerbsarbeit und wird als solche auch von Unternehmen gefördert. Für Unternehmen wie für Gemeinwesen stellt sich die Frage nach dem Potenzial von Freiwilligenarbeit. Arbeitspsychologisch formuliert, gilt es zu untersuchen: · Wodurch wird frei-gemeinnützige Arbeit motiviert, · welche Standards sind an die Arbeitsanforderungen zu richten und · wie kann sie organisiert werden? Eine häufig vertretene Antwort auf diese Fragen lautet etwa so: Frei-gemeinnützige Arbeit ist freiwillig und autonom organisiert, aber nicht privat; sie ist öffentlich wirksam und nachhaltig, aber nicht unter staatlicher Regie und Kontrolle; sie dient der Wertschöpfung, folgt aber nicht nur der ökonomischen Logik. Die Ergebnisse bisheriger Forschung zu frei-gemeinnütziger Arbeit können wir zu drei Aussagen verdichten: (1) Frei-gemeinnützige Arbeit ist multifunktional hinsichtlich der beteiligten Motive. Mit ihr lassen sich Hilfemotivation, soziale Anbindung, Kompetenzerwerb und andere Bedürfnislagen verbinden. Frei-gemeinnützige Arbeit kann durchaus eine Ausgleichfunktion gegenüber der Erwerbsarbeit gewinnen. (2) Eine notwendige Bedingung für individuell frei-gemeinnütziges Engagement ist die persönliche Sinnhaftigkeit der Arbeit. Der persönliche Sinn wird bedroht durch Bezahlung dieser Arbeit, da sie dann in den Rang von Erwerbs- und Auftragsarbeit sinkt. Persönliche Sinnhaftigkeit einer Arbeit widerstrebt auch der Einführung einklagbarer Qualitätsstandards. (3) Prekäre Organisation: Die Organisation von frei-gemeinnütziger Arbeit ist prekär, schon allein aufgrund der Freiwilligkeit des Engagements, das im Prinzip jederzeit widerrufbar ist - und sei es nur, dass der oder die Freiwillige den persönlichen Aufwand reduziert. Das Wachstum von Organisationen, die auf Freiwilligenarbeit ruhen, ist kaum rational steuerbar.
Sparse motion segmentation using multiple six-point consistencies

description: We present a method for segmenting an arbitrary number of moving objects in image sequences using the geometry of 6 points in 2D to infer motion consistency. The method has been evaluated on the Hopkins 155 database and surpasses current state-of-the-art methods such as SSC, both in terms of overall performance on two and three motions but also in terms of maximum errors. The method works by finding initial clusters in the spatial domain, and then classifying each remaining point as belonging to the cluster that minimizes a motion consistency score. In contrast to most other motion segmentation methods that are based on an affine camera model, the proposed method is fully projective.
