title: Standortplanung unter Berücksichtigung von Tourenplanungsaspekten am Beispiel der Konsumgüterindustrie
Creators: name: Führer, Florian
Year: 2011

description: Diese Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit der Standortplanung und der darauf aufbauenden Tourenplanung für ein Unternehmen der Konsumgüterindustrie in Österreich. In einem ersten Teil werden die Theorie und die Praxis der Standortplanung betrachtet. Ausgehend von extern vorgegebenen Standorten von ca. 4500 Kunden und der dazugehörigen m = n Distanzmatrix, tasten wir uns schrittweise an die Lösung heran. Betrachtet werden Berechnungen nach p-Median sowie WLP Modellen. Der zweite Abschnitt der Arbeit befasst sich mit den Möglichkeiten, die eine moderne Tourenplanungssoftware zur Lösung eines, an die Standortplanung angeschlossenen, Vehicle Routing Problems bietet. Die Software wird auf ihre Anwenderfreundlichkeit geprüft und mithilfe eines Musterszenarios getestet. Die Berechnungen zu unserem Projekt werden im Wesentlichen vom enormen Rechenaufwand dieses Problems und den dafür vorhandenen Mitteln begrenzt. Außerdem zeigt sich, dass eine grundlegende Herausforderung bei derartigen Projekten in der Datenkonsistenz liegt. Trotzdem können zufriedenstellende und plausible Lösungen gefunden und aufgezeigt werden.

What drives successful donor collaborations?

Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2018

description: Background
Based on a demand-side landscaping done by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2017 and following initial discussions among program officers from USAID, CIFF and BMGF, a need was felt to improve coordination and collaboration among donors investing in this area. BMGF has convened a meeting of donors to discuss how demand-side work could be better coordinated among donors. This paper was written to inform participants of the convening about the types of donor collaborations possible and factors associated with their success.

Methods
A review of the grey literature was conducted and 19 in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 key informants belonging to various donor organizations as well as with researchers who have done research on donor collaborations.

Results
The findings show that successful collaboration is not based on the amount of resources committed, but rather on taking an approach to collaboration that is based on agreed-upon principles of collaboration including open communication, recognition of the context of each donor organization’s work, and reliance on their particular strengths. Donors are more likely to rely on, and learn from, information provided by their colleagues within the donor community than they are to rely on information from external subject matter experts.

Conclusions
The findings support the idea of forming a peer network of donors, the need to build trust in such a network through face-to-face interaction, and the need for committed institutional support for such a collaboration from senior management within donor organizations.
title: Two-Dimensional Drift-Diffusion Simulations of Silicon Avalanche Shaper (SAS) Devices for High Power Applications

description: Silicon Avalanche Shaper devices have been projected as being important components of an inexpensive, semiconductor-based technology for high power switching applications. The primary advantage of this technology is that it is based on Silicon material which is easy to fabricate and has a well established processing technology. Unlike other high power technologies, the SAS devices do not rely on external optical triggering which eliminates the need for lasers and related optical circuitry.

The SAS based high power switching technology has been pioneered and tested by a Russian group. Though preliminary results have been very encouraging, the device reliability and its operating capability at high voltages have not been studied in detail. Also, the potential for internal current filamentation and device breakdown has not been analyzed. This aspect can best be studied and understood through numerical simulations.

In this thesis, a two-dimensional simulator for the SAS has been developed based on the drift-diffusion model. The role of transverse variations in the doping profile have been analyzed by obtaining transient current characteristics. The results reveal the development and propagation of internal electric field waves. Simulation data for the conduction current distribution within the device at various time instants, clearly show the growth of filamentary modes. The filamentation is strongly dependent on the transverse doping characteristics.

description: Este trabajo presenta el diseño de una estrategia didáctica basada en la lúdica para la enseñanza de la Química en la Secundaria Básica en la que se incorporan juegos de mesa y juegos basados en las TIC. Los contenidos de química en los juegos se corresponden con los de mayor dificultad de aprendizaje de acuerdo con la indagación hecha a los profesores y al análisis de las evaluaciones. La estrategia es flexible pues permite intercambiar los cuestionarios entre los juegos de acuerdo a los contenidos y las preferencias de los alumnos por los tipos de juegos. La estrategia se implementó en el octavo grado en la Escuela Secundaria "Argenis Burgos Palma" en Santiago de Cuba durante el curso escolar 2014-2015. La encuesta aplicada a los estudiantes al finalizar el experimento pedagógico permite concluir su aceptación por los juegos, aumentando su motivación y el aprendizaje significativo de la química. No fueron encontradas diferencias significativas entre niñas y niños salvo en los juegos sudoku químico y monopolio de saberes. El incremento en las calificaciones promedios de los exámenes corrobora el efecto positivo de la implementación de la estrategia.

Direct observation of topological charge impacting skyrmion bubble stability in Pt/Ni/Co asymmetric superlattices

description: We characterize the magnetic properties and domain structure of Pt/Ni/Co asymmetric superlattices in comparison to the more established Pt/Co/Ni structure. This reversal in stacking sequence leads to a marked drop in interfacial magnetic anisotropy and the magnitude of the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) as inferred from the DW structure, which we speculate could be related to a degradation of the Pt/Co interface when Pt is deposited on top of the Co layer. Lorentz transmission electron microscopy reveals exclusively Néel type domain walls and, with a perpendicular field, Néel skyrmions in the Pt/Co/Ni films. Conversely, the Pt/Ni/Co samples show only achiral Bloch domain walls, which leads to the formation of achiral Bloch ($Q=1$) and type II bubbles ($Q=0$) at increased perpendicular field. Combined with the reduced anisotropy leading to greater bubble densities, the latter case makes for an excellent test bed to examine the benefits of topological charge on stability. Simultaneous observation of Bloch and type II bubbles shows a roughly 50 mT larger annihilation field for the former. An in-plane component to the magnetic field is shown to both impact the structure of the formed bubbles and separately suppress the topological benefit.

description: Texas, like many states, considers students to be college, career, or military ready (CCMR) if they earn an industry- based certification (IBC) in high school. IBCs are credentials conferred by businesses (e.g. Microsoft), industry groups (e.g. the National Center for Construction Education and Research or NCCER), or state certifying entities (e.g. the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation or TDLR) to individuals who demonstrate a sufficient level of knowledge and skills in a particular domain, often through one or more assessments. While the expansion of opportunities for students to earn IBCs has been stimulated through state policy, such as House Bill 22 (2017), limited research has systematically examined what factors influence students’ receipt of IBCs and the relationship between IBCs and students’ postsecondary educational and employment outcomes. The results of this study show that the greatest source of variation in students’ receipt of IBCs is across schools, suggesting that school-level approaches to expanding IBCs are particularly critical. IBCs are found to have a positive but modest relationship with students’ college enrollment and persistence, nearly no relationship with the likelihood of employment, and large and positive relationships with earnings for many IBC subjects. Importantly, these results are largely consistent across demographic groups, suggesting few inequities in the relationship between IBC receipt and subsequent outcomes. Overall, our results suggest IBCs provide concrete earnings benefits and do not deter students from higher education, but access to IBC opportunities remains highly uneven across the state.

subject: college

description: Large numbers of students entering community colleges are deemed not academically prepared for college-level math. These students have historically been assigned to one or more non-credit-bearing courses for remedial math instruction before they can take college-level courses. Research has found that most students assigned to traditional developmental math course sequences never complete those sequences nor attain a credential. The Dana Center Mathematics Pathways (DCMP) model was created in 2011 to better support the needs of these students. The early version of DCMP implemented in this study diversified developmental and college-level math course content, separating it into distinct pathways that better align with students’ career interests including a statistics pathway for students majoring in social and health sciences and a quantitative reasoning pathway for students majoring in the humanities. It also streamlined the developmental math sequence so that students were prepared to advance to any math pathway after only one semester, even students who tested two or more levels below college-ready in math. It also included curriculum and classroom instructional practices that engaged students in active problem solving pertinent to real-life situations, and provided academic and social supports for students that were both integrated into the developmental math courses and aligned with other college services. This brief highlights the findings from a rigorous long-term follow-up study of an early version of the DCMP model. The study found that the model had a sustained impact on students’ successful completion of their first college-level math course of 5.6 percentage points after five years. This impact on college-level math completion did not lead to discernible effects on credential completion, however. Since the launch of this early version of DCMP, the Dana Center has continued to refine and update the model over time and the findings in this study do not reflect the effects of the current version of the DCMP model. The findings do offer some insights that may inform the current implementation of math pathways and other developmental math reforms. Please see here for more information on the study and findings.

description: This paper describes a multilevel preconditioning technique for solving complex symmetric sparse linear systems. The coefficient matrix is first decoupled by domain decomposition and then an approximate inverse of the original matrix is computed level by level. This approximate inverse is based on low rank approximations of the local Schur complements. For this, a symmetric singular value decomposition of a complex symmetric matix is used. The block-diagonal  matrices are decomposed by an incomplete LDLT factorization with the Bunch-Kaufman pivoting method. Using the example of Maxwell's equations the generality of the approach is demonstrated.

description: Isolation of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) with L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule (L1CAM)-specific antibodies has been widely used to identify blood biomarkers of CNS disorders. However, full methodological validation requires demonstration of L1CAM in individual NDEVs and lower levels or absence of L1CAM in individual EVs from other cells. Here, we used multiple single-EV techniques to establish the neuronal origin and determine the abundance of L1CAM-positive EVs in human blood. L1CAM epitopes of the ectodomain are shown to be co-expressed on single-EVs with the neuronal proteins β-III-tubulin, GAP43, and VAMP2, the levels of which increase in parallel with the enrichment of L1CAM-positive EVs. Levels of L1CAM-positive EVs carrying the neuronal proteins VAMP2 and β-III-tubulin range from 30% to 63%, in contrast to 0.8%–3.9% of L1CAM-negative EVs. Plasma fluid-phase L1CAM does not bind to single-EVs. Our findings support the use of L1CAM as a target for isolating plasma NDEVs and leveraging their cargo to identify biomarkers reflecting neuronal function.

description: The objective of this research was to develop a transformation for mapping speech parameters to color parameter. This transformation is done in real-time, and the resulting color parameter are continuously displayed on a color monitor. This visual speech display is to be used as a speech articulation training aid for the deaf. The conversion of speech acoustic signals into speech parameter was accomplished using special -purpose electronics. The real-time conversion of speech parameter to display parameter was controlled by an 8086/8088 microprocessor operating in an S-100 bus structure. The coefficients of the Karhunen-Loeve series expansion of speech power spectra were used to encode speech into a set of parameter called principal-components. Each principal components is obtained as a linear combination of 16 spectral band energies. The focus of this research was to optimize the method for computing principal components for use with the visual speech display and to determine an optimal transformation from principal components to color parameters.

A series of experiments was completed to determine the principal-components basis vectors for both non-normalized and amplitude-normalized speech spectra. These basis vectors, determined from the statistical properties of the continuous speech of both male and female speakers, were found to be relatively speaker independent. In order to restrict the scope of the research to a specific objective, the transformation of speech parameters to color parameters was optimized for vowels. Clustering experiments of vowels in principal-components spaces showed that vowels are more clustered when level-normalized spectral band energies are used to compute principal-components parameters . However, implementation of a set of level-normalized spectral band energies was not feasible with the available hardware, because of the requirements for real-time operation. Therefore, the transformation from vowels to colors was based on the principal-component parameters obtained from non-normalized spectral band energies, although better results are expected if level-normalized spectral band energies are used to calculate the principal components.

A linear transformation was determined such that the three widely separated vowels /a/, as in hod, /i/, as in heed, and /u/, as in who'd, result in the three widely separated colors red, green, and blue respectively. A real-time flow-mode display of color patterns derived from speech sounds was implemented. A preliminary evaluation of the display indicates that many vowel sounds can be reliably identified by their visual display. Although separate transformations can be used for different speakers, a single fixed transformation appears adequate for males, females, and children.

Subjects: subject: policy brief

description: The approach to developmental education has been evolving in recent years and many colleges are implementing bold reforms, for example no longer requiring developmental education courses or changing how students are placed into courses. Some colleges are moving away from standardized tests to assess students’ college readiness and instead are using alternative measures of students’ performance. In doing so, it is important to understand which measure or combinations of measures are best at predicting students’ success in college-level courses. This policy brief describes how data from the Texas Education Research Center (ERC) and supplemental data from seven participating Texas colleges (The University of Texas at Arlington; Southwest Texas Junior College; Texas Southern University; Texas A&M Texarkana; Lee College; El Paso Community College; Alamo Colleges District) were used to examine various measures as possible predictors of success in college-level English or math. The findings suggest that using all available measures is best, but among the simpler models, high school GPA seems to be the single best predictor of successful completion of college-level courses in English and math.

description: Course withdrawals may lead to financial burdens for students, institutions, states, and the federal government. Understanding consequences of course withdrawal is key to understanding its implications and developing interventions to improve student success. Since no research has examined course withdrawal behaviors and their relations to student degree outcomes within a statewide or nationally representative sample, I addressed this gap by using statewide administrative data from the Texas Education Research Center (ERC). The study sample comprises four fall cohorts of first-time degree-seeking college students attending any public two-year college or public university in the state of Texas. This study estimates the relationship between course withdrawal and student outcomes in the Texas public higher education institutions (broken into analytic samples of students who attended only community colleges, transferred from community colleges to public universities, and attended public universities). The findings from this study demonstrated that credit withdrawal rates (total withdrawn credits divided by total attempted credits) are usually consequential degree attainment. There is nuance in findings for degree attainment. Up to about a 4% withdrawal rate (typically one or two course withdrawals), each additional withdrawal rate was associated with a higher probability of earning a degree among community college-only and university samples. However, further course withdrawals diminished a student’s probability of earning a degree.

description: Diese Bachelorarbeit beschreibt die Entwicklung und Evaluation eines Prototyps für einen Smart Mirror, der drei verschiedene Interaktionsmethoden untersucht: Touch-, Spiegelbild- und Holografie-Interaktion. Die Touch-Interaktion nutzt den Ultraleap-Handtracker und das TouchFree-Plugin, um direkte Berührungen der Benutzeroberfläche zu ermöglichen. Die Spiegelbild-Interaktion verwendet ebenfalls den Ultraleap-Handtracker, jedoch wird die Interaktionsebene so verschoben, dass der Benutzer mit dem Spiegelbild interagiert, unterstützt durch visuelles Feedback in Form eines Schattens. Die Holografieinteraktion wird durch die Microsoft HoloLens 2 realisiert, wobei die Benutzeroberfläche holografisch vor dem Spiegel erscheint, während der Spiegel selbst nicht-interaktive Elemente darstellt. Die Evaluation mit zwölf Teilnehmern zeigte, dass die Touch- und Spiegelbild-Interaktionen bezüglich Benutzerfreundlichkeit, Präzision und Eingabeerkennung bessere Ergebnisse erzielten als die Holografieinteraktion. Insbesondere die Touchinteraktion wurde als intuitiv empfunden, während die Spiegelbildinteraktion aufgrund der berührungslosen Handhabung als hygienisch und alltagstauglich bewertet wurde. Die Holografieinteraktion wies Herausforderungen hinsichtlich der räumlichen Tiefe und Synchronisation auf und wurde von den Teilnehmern als weniger präzise empfunden. Die Studie identifizierte außerdem Limitierungen des Prototyps, darunter die Genauigkeit des Handtrackings und die ergonomische Belastung bei längerer Nutzung. Für die zukünftige Forschung wird eine Verbesserung der Hand- und Fingererkennung und die Entwicklung ergonomischerer Bedienmethoden vorgeschlagen. Zudem wäre eine größere Studie mit einer umfangreicheren Stichprobe wünschenswert, um die Ergebnisse zu validieren.

description: This thesis presents studies related to the magnetic suspension and balance system (MSBS) of the Princeton/ONR High Reynolds Number Testing Facility (HRTF). The main motivation for developing the MSBS is to provide interference free aero/hydrodynamic testing of submersible models, which will lead to more accurate measurements. From the controls point of view, the main specification of the MSBS is to robustly control the position of a submersible model in five degrees of freedom (DOF), including three translational as well as pitching and yawing positions. The MSBS should not only regulate the submersible model's position but should also allow for small motions around the specified 5 DOF position in the presence of aerodynamic wind tunnel disturbances. The MSBS consists of ten electromagnets, a cooling system for the coils, power amplifiers, a dSpace real-time controller hardware, and laser sensors. The MSBS software consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) developed using tools from Matlab/Simulink and dSpace control system software. A unique feature of this MSBS is that the electromagnets are placed outside a two inches thick stainless steel pipe. This arrangement, required for economic reasons, imposes limitations on the achievable performance by limiting the magnetic field and introducing eddy currents in the stainless steel pipe. These limitations are included in the design of the controller.

A linear quadratic multiple input multiple output (MIMO) LQ compensator is designed using loop transfer recovery (LTR) techniques to stabilize and regulate the model inside the test section of the HTRF. Procedures for tuning of the MIMO controller are developed. Practical concerns, i.e., amplifier dynamics, eddy current effects, disturbances due to aerodynamic forces and torques, and B-coefficient uncertainties, are taken into account during the design phase of the controller. The stability robustness of the LQG/LTR compensator is validated by time domain analysis of the closed-loop system consisting of the controller and a complete nonlinear model of the MSBS.

An interactive graphical user interface is developed for operation and maintenance of the HTRF-MSBS. Important system components, including hardware interfacing, software workbench, protection interlocking, operational modes, and operational procedures, are defined and implemented.

The design and implementation of a I DOF system that was used to validate the hardware and software is also presented. A classical linear lead-lag controller and a sliding mode controller are designed, analyzed, and implemented for the I DOF magnetic suspension and balance system.

description: Parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) is a potent technique for generating target molecules with high nuclear spin polarization. The PHIP process involves a chemical reaction between parahydrogen and a target molecule, followed by the transformation of nuclear singlet spin order into magnetization of a designated target nucleus through magnetic field manipulations. Although the singlet-to- magnetization polarization transfer process works effectively at moderate concentrations, it is observed to become much less efficient at high molar polarization, defined as the product of polarization and concentration. This strong dependence on the molar polarization is attributed to interference due to the field produced by the sample magnetization during polarization transfer, which leads to complex dynamics and can severely affect the scalability of the technique. We address this challenge with a pulse sequence that suppresses the influence of the distant dipolar field, while simultaneously achieving singlet-to- magnetization polarization transfer to the desired target spins, free from restrictions on the molar polarization.
