description: Die Erstellung von Prognosen kommt dem menschlichen Bedürfnis entgegen, Unsicher-heiten im Hinblick auf die Zukunft zu vermindern. Prognosen erfüllen jedoch nicht den Anspruch, vollkommen sicheres Zukunftswissen zu vermitteln. Dies ist auf verschiedene Problembereiche und Fehlerquellen zurückzuführen. Im Rahmen der Zusammenschluss-kontrolle werden dezidierte Aussagen über zukünftige Marktentwicklungen, Strukturver-änderungen, Wettbewerbsprozesse etc. getroffen. Bislang hat es jedoch keine empiri-schen Ex post-Untersuchungen zu der Frage gegeben, inwiefern derartige Prognosen bestätigt wurden. Die vorliegende Arbeit nimmt eine solche Analyse anhand des Zu-sammenschlussverfahrens 'Daimler-Benz/MBB' vor.Die im Rahmen dieses Verfahrens getroffenen Prognosen betrafen Entwicklungen auf den Märkten für Wehrtechnik, Raumfahrttechnik, Lastkraftwagen und den Weltmarkt für zivile Großflugzeuge. Die Ex post-Analyse gelangt zu dem Resultat, dass sämtliche Prognosen nicht eingetroffen sind. Die für den wehrtechnischen Bereich prognostizierte Marktmacht der DASA wurde durch tiefgreifende Änderungen der Rahmenbedingungen im Wesentlichen gegenstandslos. In der Raumfahrttechnik gelang es nicht, die Fähigkeit zur Systemführerschaft deutscher Unternehmen zu stärken. Abstrahleffekte aus der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie sowie der Wehrtechnik in den Nutzfahrzeugbereich konnten nicht realisiert werden. Im Bereich der zivilen Großflugzeuge hat sich zwar die Markt-stellung des Airbus-Konsortiums gegenüber Boeing wesentlich verbessert; dies ist jedoch nicht auf den Zusammenschluss Daimler-Benz/MBB zurückzuführen. Überdies werden weiterhin Subventionen gewährt.Die Unsicherheiten, denen Vorhersagen über die Wirkungen von Unternehmenszusam-menschlüssen ausgesetzt sind, sind auf verschiedene Faktoren zurückzuführen, welche das Procedere der Beurteilung von Zusammenschlussvorhaben nach deutschem Recht und der behördlichen Entscheidungspraxis kennzeichnen. Die im Rahmen der vorliegen-den Arbeit diskutierten Vorschläge zur Verbesserung der Diagnose- und Prognosezuver-lässigkeit in der deutschen Zusammenschlusskontrolle können zumindest teilweise dazu beitragen, die dem jetzigen Verfahren der Entscheidungsfindung anhaftenden institutio-nellen Mängel zu beheben. Gleichwohl bleiben die allen Prognosen inhärenten Unsicherheiten bestehen.

description: The local Galactic HI gas was found to contain cold neutral medium (CNM) filaments that are aligned with polarized dust emission. These filaments appear to be dominated by the magnetic field and in this case turbulence is expected to show distinct anisotropies. We use the Galactic Effelsberg--Bonn HI Survey (EBHIS) to derive 2D turbulence spectra for the HI distribution in direction to 3C196 and two more comparison fields. Prior to Fourier transform we apply a rotational symmetric 50% Tukey window to apodize the data. We derive average as well as position angle dependent power spectra. Anisotropies in the power distribution are defined as the ratio of the spectral power in orthogonal directions. We find strong anisotropies. For a narrow range in position angle, in direction perpendicular to the filaments and the magnetic field, the spectral power is on average more than an order of magnitude larger than parallel. In the most extreme case the anisotropy reaches locally a factor of 130. Anisotropies increase on average with spatial frequency as predicted by Goldreich and Sridhar, at the same time the Kolmogorov spectral index remains almost unchanged. The strongest anisotropies are observable for a narrow range in velocity and decay with a power law index close to --8/3, almost identical to the average isotropic spectral index of $-2.9 < γ< -2.6$. HI filaments, associated with linear polarization structures in LOFAR observations in direction to 3C196, show turbulence spectra with marked anisotropies. Decaying anisotropies appear to indicate that we witness an ongoing shock passing the HI and affecting the observed Faraday depth.

description: Background: Worldwide, Smoking is one of the most critical public health issues. On the other hand, different levels of family activity may explain adolescent smoking behaviors. Therefore, this longitudinal study examines the effect of family activities on adolescent Smoking in the United States. Methods: 4966 American adolescents aged 12-18 years are used for analysis between 1980 and 2015. Family process criteria (peer influence, control variables, and Smoking) are used to collect data. Kaplan- Meier survival analysis and logistic regression are used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that women are less likely to smoke than men. The same is true for blacks as compared to whites. Children separated from the family are 20 percent more likely to smoke, and adolescents with high physical activity levels are less likely to smoke before age 16. Moreover, moderate sport levels reduce the risk of smoking by 15%, so people who are more physically active are less likely to smoke during adolescence, but parental education was not related to smoking. Conclusion: Developing standard programs with adequate education and social reinforcement and the efforts of families and communities to engage in sports activities reduced adolescent smoking.
Theoretical study of the Xi(1620) and Xi(1690) resonances in Xi_c -> pi^+ MB decays

description: Nonleptonic weak decays of Xi_c into pi^+ and a meson (M)-baryon (B) final state, MB, are analyzed from the viewpoint of probing S=-2 baryon resonances, i.e. Xi(1620) and Xi(1690), of which spin-parity and other properties are not well known. We argue that the weak decay of Xi_c is dominated by a single quark-line diagram, preferred by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa coefficient, color recombination factor, the diquark correlation, and the kinematical condition. The decay process has an advantage of being free from meson resonances in the pi^+M invariant mass distribution. The invariant mass distribution of the meson-baryon final state is calculated with three different chiral unitary approaches, assuming that the Xi(1620) and Xi(1690) resonances have J^P=1/2^-. It is found that a clear peak for the Xi(1690) is seen in the piXi and KbarLambda spectra. We also suggest that the ratios of the piXi, KbarLambda and KbarSigma final states are useful to distinguish whether the peak is originated from the Xi(1690) resonance or it is a KbarSigma threshold effect.

description: The property of limiting fragmentation of various observables such as rapidity distributions ($dN/dy$), elliptic flow ($v_{2}$), average transverse momentum ($\langle p_{T} \rangle$) etc. of charged particles is observed when they are plotted as a function of rapidity ($y$) shifted by the beam rapidity ($y_{beam}$) for a wide range of energies from AGS to RHIC. Limiting fragmentation (LF) is a well studied phenomenon as observed in various collision energies and colliding systems experimentally. It is very interesting to verify this phenomenon theoretically. We study such a phenomenon for pion rapidity spectra using our hydrodynamic-like model where the collective flow is incorporated in a thermal model in the longitudinal direction. Our findings advocate the observation of extended longitudinal scaling in the rapidity spectra of pions from AGS to lower RHIC energies, while it is observed to be violated at top RHIC and LHC energies. Prediction of LF hypothesis for Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=5.02 TeV is given.

description: An experiment to search for light sterile neutrinos was conducted at a reactor with a thermal power of 2.8 GW located at the Hanbit nuclear power complex. The search was done with a detector consisting of a ton of Gd-loaded liquid scintillator in a tendon gallery approximately 24 m from the reactor core. The measured antineutrino event rate is 1976 per day with a signal to background ratio of about 22. The shape of the antineutrino energy spectrum obtained from eight-month data-taking period is compared with a hypothesis of oscillations due to active-sterile antineutrino mixing. It is found to be consistent with no oscillation. An excess around 5 MeV prompt energy range is observed as seen in existing longer baseline experiments. The parameter space of $\sin^{2}2θ_{14}$ down below 0.1 for $Δm^{2}_{41}$ ranging from 0.2 eV$^{2}$ to 2.3 eV$^{2}$ and the optimum point for the previously reported reactor antineutrino anomaly are excluded with a confidence level higher than 90%.

description: Ubiquitous information service converged by different types of heterogeneous networks is one of fundamental functions for smart cities. Considering the deployment of 5G ultra-dense wireless networks, the 5G converged cell-less communication networks are proposed to support mobile terminals in smart cities. To break obstacles of heterogeneous wireless networks, the 5G converged cell-less communication network is vertically converged in different tiers of heterogeneous wireless networks and horizontally converged in celled architectures of base stations/access points. Moreover, the software defined network controllers are configured to manage the traffic scheduling and resource allocation in 5G converged cell-less communication networks. Simulation results indicate the coverage probability and the energy saving at both base stations and mobile terminals are improved by the cooperative grouping scheme in 5G converged cell-less communication networks.

description: The drive towards enhancing productivity and ensuring worker safety has fueled extensive research on the automation and robotization of construction activities (Bock, 2015; Cai et al., 2019; Chui and Mischke, 2019; Lundeena et al., 2019). Drawing parallels with the manufacturing industry's evolution, the construction sector is poised to traverse a trajectory towards automation (Kahane and Rosenfield, 2004; Warszawski and Navon, 1998). Existing literature underscores the potential for automation to revolutionize construction practices, particularly in streamlining repetitive and hazardous activities (Wetmore and Alemany, 2019; Paull, 2020).

This study critically explores the landscape of automation in the construction industry, delving into the parallels with the manufacturing sector's journey. By synthesizing insights from previous research, the aim is to identify the optimal avenues for automation, focusing on repetitive and high-risk construction activities. The overarching goal is to pave the way for a more efficient and safer construction environment, aligning with the broader industry's evolution towards automation.

Findings from this study are expected to inform strategic decisions and innovations within the construction sector, providing a roadmap for the integration of automation technologies. As construction activities evolve, the research contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on the future of automation in construction and its implications for work practices, productivity, and worker well-being.

description: In this study, we investigated the ability of 6,7-dimethoxy-4-methylcoumarin (DMC) to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators in mouse macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells, and the molecular mechanism through which this inhibition occurred. Our results indicated that DMC down regulated LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, thereby reducing the production of NO and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, DMC suppressed LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the anti- inflammatory activity of DMC, we assessed its effects on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and the activity and expression of nuclear transcription factor kappa-B (NF-κB). The experiments demonstrated that DMC inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38. In addition, it attenuated LPS-induced NF-κB activation via the inhibition of IκB-α phosphorylation. Taken together, these data suggest that DMC exerts its anti-inflammatory effects in RAW 264.7 cells through the inhibition of LPS-stimulated NF-κB and MAPK signaling, thereby downregulating the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators.

description: In the classification of stationary solutions in extended supergravities with symmetric scalar manifolds, the nilpotent orbits of a real symmetric pair play an important role. In this paper we discuss two approaches to determining the nilpotent orbits of a real symmetric pair. We apply our methods to an explicit example, and thereby classify the nilpotent orbits of SL_2(R)^4 acting on the fourth tensor power of the natural 2-dimensional SL_2(R)-module. This makes it possible to classify all stationary solutions of the so-called STU-supergravity model.

description: Background: Self-reported studies showed that physical activity is associated with health-related quality of life in children with ADHD. Considering the limitations of self-reporting methods, we aimed to assess the association between accelerometer-measured physical activity and health-related quality of life among children with ADHD. Methods: 68 participants (28 girls, mean age of 10.22±1.55 years) wore the accelerometer for seven consecutive days. PedsQL was used to measure health-related quality of life. Mann-Whitney U, Spearman correlation test, and regression analysis were used to analyze data. Results: On average, the daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was 36.46 minutes, which is below the WHO guideline. Boys engaged significantly more in daily MVPA than girl. Moreover, gender significantly predicted health-related quality of life (F = 4.58, p = 0.03, Adjusted R2 = 0.08, β = 0.75). Sedentary time% has inversely predicted health-related quality of life (F = 2.81, p = 0.04, Adjusted R2 = 0.03, β = 0.53). Finally, daily MVPA predicted health-related quality of life (F = 5.73, p = 0.02, Adjusted R2 = 0.09, β = 0.13). Conclusion: These finding indicate that physical activity and quality of life are critical concerns for children with ADHD. Accordingly, it is necessary to adopt appropriate strategies to develop more active lifestyles among this population

The methods discussed here are: bin-by-bin correction factors, matrix inversion, template fit, Tikhonov regularisation and two examples of iterative methods. Two procedures to choose the strength of the regularisation are tested, namely the L-curve scan and a scan of global correlation coefficients. The advantages and disadvantages of the unfolding methods and choices of the regularisation strength are discussed using a toy example.

An analytical formalism accounting for clouds and other "surfaces" for exoplanet transmission spectroscopy

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Although the formalism of Lecavelier des Etangs et al. (2008) is extremely useful to understand what shapes transmission spectra of exoplanets, it does not include the effects of a sharp change in flux with altitude generally associated with surfaces and optically thick clouds. Recent advances in understanding the effects of refraction in exoplanet transmission spectra have, however, demonstrated that even clear thick atmospheres have such a sharp change in flux due to a refractive boundary. We derive a more widely applicable analytical formalism by including first-order effects from all these "surfaces" to compute an exoplanet's effective radius, effective atmospheric thickness, and spectral modulation for an atmosphere with a constant scale height. We show that the effective radius cannot be located below these "surfaces" and that our formalism matches Lecavelier des Etangs et al. (2008)'s in the case of a clear atmosphere. Our formalism explains why clouds and refraction reduce the contrast of spectral features, and why refraction decreases the Rayleigh scattering slope as wavelength increases, but also shows that these are common effects of all "surfaces". We introduce the concept of a "surface" cross section, the minimum mean cross section that can be observed, as an index to characterize the location of "surfaces" and provide a simple method to estimate their effects on the spectral modulation of homogeneous atmospheres. We finally devise a numerical recipe that extends our formalism to atmospheres with a non-constant scale height and arbitrary sources of opacity, a potentially necessary step to interpret observations.

description: We present the results of the first, deep ALMA imaging covering the full 4.5 sq arcmin of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) as previously imaged with WFC3/IR on HST. Using a mosaic of 45 pointings, we have obtained a homogeneous 1.3mm image of the HUDF, achieving an rms sensitivity of 35 microJy, at a resolution of 0.7 arcsec. From an initial list of ~50 >3.5sigma peaks, a rigorous analysis confirms 16 sources with flux densities S(1.3) > 120 microJy. All of these have secure galaxy counterparts with robust redshifts ( = 2.15), and 12 are also detected at 6GHz in new deep JVLA imaging. Due to the wealth of supporting data in this unique field, the physical properties of the ALMA sources are well constrained, including their stellar masses (M*) and UV+FIR star-formation rates (SFR). Our results show that stellar mass is the best predictor of SFR in the high-z Universe; indeed at z > 2 our ALMA sample contains 7 of the 9 galaxies in the HUDF with M* > 2 x 10^10 Msun and we detect only one galaxy at z > 3.5, reflecting the rapid drop-off of high-mass galaxies with increasing redshift. The detections, coupled with stacking, allow us to probe the redshift/mass distribution of the 1.3-mm background down to S(1.3) ~ 10 micro-Jy. We find strong evidence for a steep `main sequence' for star-forming galaxies at z ~ 2, with SFR \propto M* and a mean specific SFR = 2.2 /Gyr. Moreover, we find that ~85% of total star formation at z ~ 2 is enshrouded in dust, with ~65% of all star formation at this epoch occurring in high-mass galaxies (M* > 2 x 10^10 Msun), for which the average obscured:unobscured SF ratio is ~200. Finally, we combine our new ALMA results with the existing HST data to revisit the cosmic evolution of star-formation rate density; we find that this peaks at z ~ 2.5, and that the star-forming Universe transits from primarily unobscured to primarily obscured thereafter at z ~ 4.

description: The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that non-crystallographic reflection groups can be used to build new solvable quantum particle systems. We explicitly construct a one-parametric family of solvable four-body systems on a line, related to the symmetry of a regular icosahedron: in two distinct limiting cases the system is constrained to a half-line. We repeat the program for a 600-cell, a four-dimensional generalization of the regular three-dimensional icosahedron.

description: When quantum fields are coupled to gravitational fields, spontaneous particle creation may occur similarly to when they are coupled to external electromagnetic fields. Gravitational fields can be incorporated as background spacetime if the back-action of matter on it can be neglected, yielding modified Dirac or Klein-Gordon equations for elementary fermions and bosons respectively. The semi-classical description predicts particle creation in many scenarios including expanding universe, near the event horizon of a black hole (the Hawking effect), and an accelerating observer in flat spacetime (the Unruh effect). In this work, we give a pedagogical introduction to the Dirac equation in a general 2D spacetime and show examples of spinor wave packet dynamics in some background spacetimes. In particular, we cover the phenomenon of particle creation in a time-dependent metric. Photonic analogs of these effects are then proposed, where classical light propagating in an array of coupled waveguides provides a visualisation of the Dirac spinor propagating in curved 2D spacetime. The extent to which such a single-particle description can be said to mimic particle creation is discussed.

description: Parameter inference with an estimated covariance matrix systematically loses information due to the remaining uncertainty of the covariance matrix. Here, we quantify this loss of precision and develop a framework to hypothetically restore it, which allows to judge how far away a given analysis is from the ideal case of a known covariance matrix. We point out that it is insufficient to estimate this loss by debiasing a Fisher matrix as previously done, due to a fundamental inequality that describes how biases arise in non-linear functions. We therefore develop direct estimators for parameter credibility contours and the figure of merit. We apply our results to DES Science Verification weak lensing data, detecting a 10% loss of information that increases their credibility contours. No significant loss of information is found for KiDS. For a Euclid-like survey, with about 10 nuisance parameters we find that 2900 simulations are sufficient to limit the systematically lost information to 1%, with an additional uncertainty of about 2%. Without any nuisance parameters 1900 simulations are sufficient to only lose 1% of information. We also derive an estimator for the Fisher matrix of the unknown true covariance matrix, two estimators of its inverse with different physical meanings, and an estimator for the optimally achievable figure of merit. The formalism here quantifies the gains to be made by running more simulated datasets, allowing decisions to be made about numbers of simulations in an informed way.

Gapless helical superconductivity on the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator

description: Recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments have observed a proximity-induced superconducting gap in the helical surface states of a thin film of the 3D topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ grown on a superconducting NbSe$_2$ substrate. The superconducting coherence peaks in the electronic density of states are strongly suppressed when the topological insulator is doped with magnetic Mn impurities, which was interpreted as the complete destruction of helical superconductivity in the topological surface states. Motivated by these experiments, we explore a different possibility: gapless helical superconductivity, where a gapless electronic density of states coexists with a nonzero helical superconducting order parameter. We study a model of superconducting Dirac fermions coupled to random magnetic impurities within the Abrikosov-Gor'kov framework, and find finite regions of gapless helical superconductivity in the phase diagram of the system for both proximity-induced and intrinsic superconductivity. For the latter, we derive universal rates of supression of the superconducting transition temperature due to magnetic scattering and, for a Fermi level at the Dirac point, a universal rate of increase of the quantum critical attraction strength.

Theory of unidirectional spin Hall magnetoresistance in heavy-metal/ferromagnetic-metal bilayers

description: Recent experiments have revealed nonlinear features of the magnetoresistance in metallic bilayers consisting of a heavy-metal (HM) and a ferromagnetic metal (FM). A small change in the lon- gitudinal resistance of the bilayer has been observed when reversing the direction of either the applied in-plane current or the magnetization. We attribute such nonlinear transport behavior to the spin-polarization dependence of the electron mobility in the FM layer acting in concert with the spin accumulation induced in that layer by the spin Hall current originating in the bulk of the HM layer. An explicit expression for the nonlinear magnetoresistance is derived based on a simple drift-diffusion model, which shows that the nonlinear magnetoresistance appears at the first order of spin Hall angle (SHA), and changes sign when the current is reversed, in agreement with the experimental observations. We also discuss possible ways to control the sign of the nonlinear magnetoresistance and to enhance the magnitude of effect.

title: New strategies for the introduction of 18F into peptides for imaging with Positron Emission Tomography

description: PET is a potent imaging technique that uses positron emitting radionuclides such as 18F, which is used either in the form of [18F]FDG or attached to another biomolecule for diagnosis of disease and monitoring of treatment. The major disadvantage of labelling molecules with 18F is their time-consuming, multiple step preparation. This thesis presents two different novel strategies that both aim to decrease the number of steps required to prepare l8F labelled peptides. The first strategy involved using the metal ruthenium as a binding site for 18F in a one-step labelling technology involving halide anion exchange. The second approach involved a chemoselective reaction between the hydrazine functionalised compounds HYBA or HYNIC and a labelled aromatic aldehyde to form a hydrazone. In the second strategy, a peptide is synthesised with a HYBA or HYNIC molecule attached to it. Following this, F labelled benzaldehyde is reacted with the peptide to give a 1 + 1 labelling strategy. Before using this methodology for labelling with l8F, the chemoselectivity of the hydrazone formation was thoroughly tested by conducting competition reactions. The competition reactions involved a reaction between an aromatic aldehyde and HYBA in the presence of a competing amine. The reaction was found to be selective between the aldehyde and HYBA, even with increased equivalents of the competing amine present in the reaction mixture. Rate monitoring reactions were carried out in the presence of the competing amine, benzylamine, to see how quickly the hydrazone product formed at room temperature and at 50°C. The formation of the hydrazone was found to be quick and clean, even at room temperature. Amino acid synthons, two containing HYBA and two containing HYNIC, were synthesised to be incorporated into the peptide ‘nanogastrin’ for chemoselective labelling. These hydrazine containing peptides were then to be radiolabelled with [18F]fluorobenzaldehyde. Early indications are that this approach to radiolabelling works as theorised.

description: We investigate the dynamics of single- and multi-photon emission from detuned strongly coupled systems based on the quantum-dot-photonic-crystal resonator platform. Transmitting light through such systems can generate a range of non-classical states of light with tunable photon counting statistics due to the nonlinear ladder of hybridized light-matter states. By controlling the detuning between emitter and resonator, the transmission can be tuned to strongly enhance either single- or two-photon emission processes. Despite the strongly-dissipative nature of these systems, we find that by utilizing a self-homodyne interference technique combined with frequency-filtering we are able to find a strong two-photon component of the emission in the multi-photon regime. In order to explain our correlation measurements, we propose rate equation models that capture the dominant processes of emission both in the single- and multi-photon regimes. These models are then supported by quantum-optical simulations that fully capture the frequency filtering of emission from our solid-state system.
