title: Ruderalvegetation – Dynamik ohne Grenzen?
Creators: name: Brandes, Dietmar
Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek Braunschweig
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: 580

description: The review deals with the changing ruderal vegetation in Central Europe, it shows an especial dynamic type of vegetation. Ruderal vegetation is a fascinating subject because it reflects very quickly alterations of environmental conditions, of transport systems as well of settlements, however the single species reacts only within its reaction norm. In principle it should be possible to use the ruderal vegetation as bioindicator for global change. The high complexity of the false simple systems limits this however. Therefore increased investigation of the ruderal vegetation on all biological levels is suggested; deficits in research are listed.

description: This study aimed to increase efficacy for teaching mathematics in pre-service early childhood teachers through the presentation of five video lessons on topics in early childhood mathematics. Each lesson entailed reading a short essay on a topic related to children's mathematical thinking and then watching a short video of a child engaged in a relevant task and a clinical interview with an adult. This study also examined pre-service teachers' knowledge of mathematical development (KMD) and intellectual modesty, or the awareness of the limits of one's knowledge, as possible mediators of change in efficacy. Results showed that the video lessons did significantly increase efficacy for teaching mathematics, but that KMD and intellectual modesty were not significant mediators of the change in efficacy. In effect, confidence appeared disconnected from competence. Follow-up analyses revealed the importance of rich mathematical content within the videos in producing increased confidence and competence.

description: The functional defined as the squared modulus of the spatial average of the wave function squared, plays the role of an ``order parameter'' for the transition between Hamiltonian ensembles with orthogonal and unitary symmetry. Upon breaking time-reversal symmetry, the order parameter crosses over from one to zero. We compute its distribution in the crossover regime and find that it has large fluctuations around the ensemble average. These fluctuations imply long-range spatial correlations in the eigenfunction and non-Gaussian perturbations of eigenvalues, in precise agreement with results by Fal'ko and Efetov and by Taniguchi, Hashimoto, Simons, and Altshuler. As a third implication of the order-parameter fluctuations we find correlations in the response of an eigenvalue to independent perturbations of the system.

description: The introduction of Highly Automated Vehicles (HAVs) has the potential to increase the independence of blind and visually impaired people (BVIPs). However, ensuring safety and situation awareness when exiting these vehicles in unfamiliar environments remains challenging. To address this, we conducted an interactive workshop with N=5 BVIPs to identify their information needs when exiting an HAV and evaluated three prior-developed low-fidelity prototypes. The insights from this workshop guided the development of PathFinder, a multimodal interface combining visual, auditory, and tactile modalities tailored to BVIP's unique needs. In a three-factorial within-between-subject study with N=16 BVIPs, we evaluated PathFinder against an auditory-only baseline in urban and rural scenarios. PathFinder significantly reduced mental demand and maintained high perceived safety in both scenarios, while the auditory baseline led to lower perceived safety in the urban scenario compared to the rural one. Qualitative feedback further supported PathFinder's effectiveness in providing spatial orientation during exiting.

description: We introduce a new concept of unbounded solutions to the operator Riccati equation $A_1 X - X A_0 - X V X + V^\ast = 0$ and give a complete description of its solutions associated with the spectral graph subspaces of the block operator matrix $\mathbf{B} = \begin{pmatrix} A_0 & V V^\ast & A_1 \end{pmatrix}$. We also provide a new characterization of the set of all contractive solutions under the assumption that the Riccati equation has a contractive solution associated with a spectral subspace of the operator $\mathbf{B}$. In this case we establish a criterion for the uniqueness of contractive solutions.

description: In some scenarios, the dark matter relic abundance is set by the semi-annihilation of two dark matter particles into one dark matter particle and one Standard Model particle. These semi-annihilations might still be occurring today in the Galactic Center at a significant rate, generating a flux of boosted dark matter particles. We investigate the possible signals of this flux component in direct detection and neutrino experiments for sub-GeV dark matter masses. We show that for typical values of the semi-annihilation cross-section, the sensitivity of current experiments to the spin-independent dark matter-proton scattering cross-section can be several orders of magnitude larger than current constraints from cosmic-ray boosted dark matter. We also argue that the upcoming DARWIN and DUNE experiments may probe scattering cross-sections as low as $10^{-37}\,{\rm cm}^2$ for masses between 30 MeV and 1 GeV.

description: An exact non-perturbative calculation of the fourth-order anomalous correction to the scaling behaviour of a random shell-model for passive scalars is presented. Importance of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) boundary conditions on the inertial scaling properties are determined. We find that anomalous behaviour is given by the null-space of the inertial operator and we prove strong UV and IR independence of the anomalous exponent. A limiting case where diffusive behaviour can influence inertial properties is also presented.

description: In automated weed control, kinematics of varying complexity are required for tool guidance, depending on the weeding principle. Mechanical tools in particular require several degrees of freedom (DoF) in order to operate in a plant-specific way, which can be realized by parallel kinematic machines due to their dynamic performance. The development of a kinematic structure under task-specific requirements is done using combined structural and dimensional synthesis and a detailed manual design stage, which leads to a new variant of the six-DoF Hexa robot.
Distillation of maximally correlated bosonic matter from many-body quantum coherence

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We construct quantum coherence resource theories in symmetrized Fock space (QCRTF), thereby providing an information-theoretic framework that connects analyses of quantum coherence in discrete-variable (DV) and continuous variable (CV) bosonic systems. Unlike traditional quantum coherence resource theories, QCRTF can be made independent of the single-particle basis and allow to quantify coherence within and between particle number sectors. For example, QCRTF can be formulated in such a way that neither Bose-Einstein condensates nor Heisenberg-Weyl coherent states are considered as quantum many-body coherence resources, whereas spin-squeezed and quadrature squeezed states are. The QCRTF framework is utilized to calculate the optimal asymptotic distillation rate of maximally correlated bosonic states both for particle number conserving resource states and resource states of indefinite particle number. In particular, we show how to generate a uniform superposition of maximally correlated bosonic states from a state of maximal bosonic coherence with asymptotically unit efficiency using only free operations in the QCRTF.

description: Complex numbers enter fundamental physics in at least two rather distinct ways. They are needed in quantum theories to make linear differential operators into Hermitian observables. Complex structures appear also, through Hodge duality, in vector and spinor spaces associated with space-time. This paper reviews some of these notions. Charge conjugation in multidimensional geometries and the appearance of Cauchy-Riemann structures on Lorentz manifolds with a congruence of null geodesics without shear are presented in considerable detail.

description: We investigate whether changes in life circumstances lead to long-lasting changes in subjective well-being using a medical intervention that provided orthotic equipment to Ugandan adults with lower limb disabilities. The intervention had a positive effect on mobility and physical health, and treated patients reported a significant improvement in life satisfaction in the first few months after the treatment. However, the effect on subjective well-being was not prolonged. After one year, life satisfaction returned to the pre-treatment levels. The evidence of adaptation is also supported by evidence of changes in patients’ reference levels, in the form of aspirations measured as both the level of income considered sufficient to live well, and the minimum income to make ends meet.
Reclamation research at the surface mine operation of Smoky River Coal Limited

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Commissioned in 1971, an on-going reclamation study has been conducted by the Soils Department of the Alberta Research Council on behalf of Smoky River Coal Ltd. at their open-pit mine operations near Grande Cache, Alberta. The main objective of the project was to determine methods of establishing long-term cover that would be in harmony with adjacent, undisturbed areas. The soils occurring in the pre-mining state as well as the soils reconstructed after mining, were characterized. Plot studies to determine the suitability and adaptability of various agronomic and native grasses and legumes were established. Fertilization trials were included. Conifer seedlings and rooted cuttings of deciduous species were planted in the disturbed areas following establishment of a grass and legume cover. Long term results indicated that agronomic species, including alfalfa, will thrive and reproduce, and that tree seedlings will co-exist with the initially established grass and legume cover. The results obtained from the research effort have been successfully transferred to the operational scale.

More generally, these equivalences will be proven in the setting of time-dependent metric measure spaces and will provide a characterization of super-Ricci flows of metric measure spaces.

description: Object-oriented programing languages are becoming increasingly important as are managed runtime-systems. An area of importance in such systems is dynamic automatic memory management. A key function of dynamic automatic memory management is detecting and reclaiming discarded memory regions; this is also referred to as garbage collection. A significant proportion of research has been conducted in the field of memory management, and more specifically garbage collection techniques. In the past, adequate comparisons against a range of competing algorithms and implementations has often been overlooked. JMTk is a flexible memory management toolkit, written in Java, which attempts to provide a testbed for such comparisons. This thesis aims to examine the implementation of one algorithm currently available in JMTk: the deferred reference counter. Other research has shown that the reference counter in JMTk performs poorly both in throughput and responsiveness. Several aspects of the reference counter are tested, including the write barrier, allocation cost, increment and decrement processing and cycle-detection. The results of these examinations found the bump-pointer to be 8% faster than the free-list in raw allocation. The cost of the reference counting write barrier was determined to be 10% on the PPC architecture and 20% on the i686 architecture. Processing increments in the write barrier was found to be up to 13% faster than buffering them until collection time on a uni-processor platform. Cycle detection was identified as a key area of cost in reference counting. In order to improve the performance of the deferred reference counter and to contribute to the JMTk testbed, a new algorithm for detecting cyclic garbage was described. This algorithm is based on a mark scan approach to cycle detection. Using this algorithm, two new cycle detectors were implemented and compared to the original trial deletion cycle detector. The semi-concurrent cycle detector had the best throughput, outperforming trial deletion by more than 25% on the javac benchmark. The non-concurrent cycle detector had poor throughput attributed to poor triggering heuristics. Both new cycle detectors had poor pause times. Even so, the semi-concurrent cycle detector had the lowest pause times on the javac benchmark. The work presented in this thesis contributes to an evaluation of components of the reference counter and a comparsion between approaches to reference counting implementation. Previous to this work, the cost of the reference counter's components had not been quantified. Additionally, past work presented different approaches to reference counting implementation as a whole, instead of individual components.
title: Hot and Cool Executive Functions in Middle Childhood: Development and Relationships with Cognitive and Emotional Processes, and Functional Outcomes

description: Executive functioning (EF) follows a protracted course of development, emerging in early infancy and continuing to develop throughout childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, before declining in older age (Diamond, 2006; Zelazo, Craik, & Booth, 2004). Despite this, the majority of developmental research has focused on the emergence of EF before age 5 (Best, Miller, & Jones, 2009). Recent research also suggests that EF can usefully be separated into hot (more emotionally driven) and cool (more abstract) factors (Kerr & Zelazo, 2004), and that these factors likely have distinct neural underpinnings (Bechara, Damasio, & Damasio, 2000). The current program of research investigated the development of hot and cool EF in a sample of 126 (59 males and 67 females) typically developing Australian 5 to 12-year-old children. Six different behavioural measures of EF (three hot and three cool) were administered. The first study examined and compared the age-related development of hot and cool EF in a series of cross-sectional age-group comparisons. Age-related improvements were observed on all six EF tasks. Across the age-range studied, all EF tasks showed a linear relationship with age. Analysis using composite measures of hot and cool EF showed no significant differences in the rate of development between hot and cool EF, suggesting that hot and cool EF develop at similar rates across middle childhood. Factor analysis of the EF tasks also supported a single factor solution. Thus, the first study did not find evidence supporting a hot-cool EF distinction during middle childhood.

quantum polarisation teleportation protocols

description: The continuous variables regime offers much promise for quantum information and computation protocols. In particular, the continuous variable polarisation teleportation is of great interest, both theoretically and experimentally, at the moment. In this thesis three schemes for continuous variable polarisation teleportation are analysed and their performance is rated. The double teleporter setup, the quantum nondemolition teleporter scheme and the biased entanglement teleporter setup are each discussed and evaluated. Two methods are employed for the evaluation of the teleportation success. The TV diagram which stresses the usefulness of the experimental design and the fidelity, which measures the quantum input to output state preservation. It is later shown that these two independent assessments, which consider physically different attributes, yield contradicting conclusions. Further it is shown that it is important to decide whether the objective of the polarisation teleportation is the transfer of information or the quantum state recreation before meaningful analysis using TV or fidelity can be made. Finally, a study of a special cloning limit for a particular input state is made, related to the two of the above polarisation teleportation schemes. A new cloning fidelity limit is derived for these cases and TV cloning limits of information transfer and correlations are discussed.

description: High dynamic jump motions are challenging tasks for humanoid robots to achieve environment adaptation and obstacle crossing. The trajectory optimization is a practical method to achieve high-dynamic and explosive jumping. This paper proposes a 3-step trajectory optimization framework for generating a jump motion for a humanoid robot. To improve iteration speed and achieve ideal performance, the framework comprises three sub-optimizations. The first optimization incorporates momentum, inertia, and center of pressure (CoP), treating the robot as a static reaction momentum pendulum (SRMP) model to generate corresponding trajectories. The second optimization maps these trajectories to joint space using effective Quadratic Programming (QP) solvers. Finally, the third optimization generates whole-body joint trajectories utilizing trajectories generated by previous parts. With the combined consideration of momentum and inertia, the robot achieves agile forward jump motions. A simulation and experiments (Fig. \ref{Fig First page fig}) of forward jump with a distance of 1.0 m and 0.5 m height are presented in this paper, validating the applicability of the proposed framework.

description: This dissertation is about an anti-caste movement among Dalits (the oppressed as untouchable) in South India, the Parayar. Since the late 19th century, members of this caste, and a few others from Tamil-speaking areas, have been choosing to convert to Buddhism based on conscience and conviction. This phenomenon of religious conversion-social transformation is this study's focus. By combining archival research of Parayar's writings among Tamil Buddhists, as these Parayar, settled in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, are called, I have attempted to understand this movement ethno-historically. In pre-colonial times, though the sub-continent's societies were hierarchical, the hierarchies were fluid and varied: i.e., the high-low or self-other dichotomies were neither fixed nor based on a single principle. The most significant effect of the encounter of British Colonialism and India was to precipitate an unprecedented master-dichotomy of singular and absolute form of self and other, as colonizer and the colonized. This had three consequences. (a) India was itself seen as singular and served as the Self to the colonial Other in an absolute dichotomy; (b) the role of essentializing the Indian Self was assumed by the brahmin; (c) this in turn resulted in an internal dichotomy between the brahmin-essential self and the non-brahmin-non-essential other. The means chosen to fix this dichotomy was to nominate the non-essential other's paradigmatic representation, the Dalit. I intend to read against the grain of the binary logic that was inaugurated at the moment of the colonial encounter by means of Tamil Buddhists' oppositional, reconstructional, and representationaldiscursive practices.

description: We present the first quantum field theory model of inflation that is renormalizable in the matter sector, with a super-Hubble inflaton mass and sub-Planckian field excursions, which is thus technically natural and consistent with a high-energy completion within a theory of quantum gravity. This is done in the framework of warm inflation, where we show, for the first time, that strong dissipation can fully sustain a slow-roll trajectory with slow-roll parameters larger than unity in a way that is both theoretically and observationally consistent. The inflaton field corresponds to the relative phase between two complex scalar fields that collectively break a U(1) gauge symmetry, and dissipates its energy into scalar degrees of freedom in the warm cosmic heat bath. A discrete interchange symmetry protects the inflaton mass from large thermal corrections. We further show that the dissipation coefficient decreases with temperature in certain parametric regimes, which prevents a large growth of thermal inflaton fluctuations. We find, in particular, a very good agreement with the Planck legacy data for a simple quadratic inflaton potential, predicting a low tensor-to-scalar ratio $r\lesssim 10^{-5}$.

description: There is significant impetus to identify the determinants of food choices and to develop effective ways to provide food guidance to children to enhance their health. Previous research has demonstrated the likely importance of personal determinants and the home food environment as targets to influence the food choices of children. The purpose of the present study was to analyse cross-sectional and longitudinal data to provide further insight into factors in childhood which affect children’s food choices. The present research analyses involved data gathered from the national database of Growing up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). The LSAC design explored the developmental outcomes of children from early until late childhood, using a representative sample of 10,000 Australian children and their families, divided in two cohorts. The B-cohort (infant cohort) comprises data collected from 2004 (wave 1 data collection, 0-1 year at age of recruitment) until 2008 (wave 3 data collection, 4-5 year at age of recruitment). The K-cohort (child cohort) comprises data collected from 2004 (wave 1 data collection, 4-5 year at age of recruitment) until 2008 (wave 3 data collection, 8-9 year at age of recruitment). The data were collected from multiple sources such as mothers and fathers, teachers and carers, and direct assessments and observations. Data were primarily collected to provide information regarding a child’s personality and behaviour, family and relationship history, health and lifestyle, parenting practice, source of support, activities with children, education, paid work and physical measurements.
The dynamics of collapsing Bose-Einstein condensates.

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2002
Subjects: Bose-Einstein condensation

description: This project aims to study the behavior of a cloud of Rubidium-85 atoms under an attractive interaction potential when used to create a Bose-Einstein condensate. Efforts to describe the dynamics of an attractive condensate using only the Gross-Pitaevskii equation have been unable to describe all of the features of such a system, and so the mathematical approach used is a perturbative method of corrections to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A system of analytical equations to describe a condensate is derived herein, which is then arranged into a form suitable for numerical solution. The actual calculation is not performed, but details of the computational procedure are provided, as well as an analysis of the difficulties inherent in the calculation.

description: Do European Parliament (EP) elections have adverse effects on the political socialisation of individuals? Instilling a lasting political disaffection in impressionable voters, the supranational contest may have negative consequences for long-term political socialisation. Relying on a large cross-national dataset from 2004, I identify the causal effect of first-time eligibility and voting in the EP elections by exploiting the exogenous variation in adolescents' birth months. The results of a discontinuity design show that the elections do not politically disengage young voters or strengthen their party bonds to radical or Eurosceptic parties. Instead, the EP elections arouse their political interest in general and their European interest in particular; a long-lasting effect that persists for more than five years. Placebo tests and various robustness tests confirm the results. Considering that individuals are most receptive towards political socialisation stimuli during early adulthood, this study sheds light on the integrative potential of the EP elections.

description: We re-examine a two-dimensional forest-fire model via Monte-Carlo simulations and show the existence of two length scales with different critical exponents associated with clusters and with the usual two-point correlation function of trees. We check resp. improve previously obtained values for other critical exponents and perform a first investigation of the critical behaviour of the slowest relaxational mode. We also investigate the possibility of describing the critical point in terms of a distribution of the global density. We find that some qualitative features such as a temporal oscillation and a power law of the cluster-size distribution can nicely be obtained from such a model that discards the spatial structure.

Sodium line guide star laser using optical parametric oscillator

Guide star

description: The aim of this project is to develop a novel, high average power source of highly coherent radiation at the 589nm sodium D2 resonance line for use in creating a laser guide star for use with adaptive optics systems such as astronomical telescopes and satellite ranging. Adaptive optics is used to improve the resolution of ground base telescope by compensating the atmospheric turbulence. To achieve this it is necessary to measure and correct the distortions caused by the atmosphere on the beam. A laser guide star provides a beacon which combined with a wavefront sensor allows the effect of the atmosphere to be quantified and mechanical corrections made to the adaptive optics in the telescope to cancel those distortions. Whilst laser guide stars have been demonstrated as effective in a number of astronomical observatories, at present there is no laser technology that dominates this application. This project will demonstrate a novel approach to the creation of high average power optical sources for guide star applications. The aim of the project is to build a prototype of high average power, synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillators pumped by novel high power solid state laser technology. The Magnesium Oxide doped periodically poled Lithium Niobate was used as the nonlinear crystal for the 532nm pumped singly resonant parametric oscillator. The oscillator was pumped by 1.4W of 532nm light which was created from a 3.5W mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser by a Lithium Triborate second harmonic generator. With a grating period of 12.05µm, the signal at the wavelength of 594nm was obtained at 150C. There was unexpected green absorption of the crystal, which undermined the performance of the oscillator. However, from the experimental results of a Potassium Titanyl Phosphate optical parametric oscillator, it was demonstrated that highly efficient parametric oscillator can be built despite the idler absorption.

title: Keeping it real': A Quantum Trajectory Approach to Realistic Measurement of Solid-State Quantum Systems

description: To obtain information about a system of interest a measurement has to be made. In experiments that probe the quantum nature of our world, the system itself is, in general, necessarily affected by the act of measurement. If the system is weakly coupled to its bath and the dynamics are such that information concerning the system is spread throughout the many degrees of freedom of the bath, and the bath is being measured then a stochastic master equation for the conditioned state of the system can be found. This is termed a quantum trajectory equation. Realistic detectors are not perfect. Information is lost in the conversion to a signal that the observer can use. This loss may occur in the detector itself, in the circuit containing the detector (described by a response time and electronic noise) or at the circuit output (electronic output noise). In order to obtain a true quantum trajectory for the experiment, the observer must condition the state of the quantum system on results that are available in the laboratory rather than on the microscopic events considered previously in quantum trajectories. A method for treating this was first proposed by Warszawski, Wiseman and Mabuchi [Phys. Rev. A 65, 023802 (2002)], in which the quantum system is embedded within a supersystem that also contains the state of the detector. They applied their theory to photodetectors of various sorts. Warszawski has also done the preliminary work on applying this theory to detecting the state of a pair of quantum dots using a SET (single-electron transistor) [MSc. Thesis, Griffith University (2001)]. The resulting theory is termed 'realistic' quantum trajectory theory. In this thesis, the approach of Warszawski, et al.is applied to various solidstate readout devices. These include the SET, the QPC (quantum point contact), and the RF-QPC (radio-frequency QPC). Numerically obtained realistic quantum trajectories for the QPC agree with heuristic results. In particular, in certain limits, the realistic quantum trajectories can take on the appearance of ideal quantum trajectories. This thesis also resolves a problem in solid-state continuous quantum measurement theory by deriving a quantum trajectory model for a SET-monitored charge qubit, that guarantees physically meaningful qubit states. The particular limit necessary to achieve this is discussed, and the SET measurement quality is analysed using techniques borrowed from quantum optics. Conditions for which the SET can approach operation at the limit allowed by quantum mechanics are given. This is also done for the QPC, for which the results agree with previous work.
Unusual properties - mathematical and physical - of the a-boundary construction

a-boundary.

description: This thesis is written within the framework of the abstract boundary (or a-boundary) of Scott and Szekeres. The a-boundary provides a concept of "boundary" for any n-dimensional, paracompact, connected, Hausdorff manifold, defined in such a way that the boundary is independant of the particular embedding used to display the manifold. This makes it possible to define various types of boundary points of space-time such as "singularities" and "points at infinity". The original research that will be presented in this thesis can be roughly divided up into two categories; results relating to the existence of optimal embeddings of solutions to Einstein's Field Equations and a-boundary singularity theorems. In addition, the implications of the "finite connected neighbourhood region property" and the bounded "acceleration" property are explored. It is also shown that not all space-times are maximally extendable.
Bounds on Lyapunov exponents via entropy accumulation

description: Lyapunov exponents describe the asymptotic behavior of the singular values of large products of random matrices. A direct computation of these exponents is however often infeasible. By establishing a link between Lyapunov exponents and an information theoretic tool called entropy accumulation theorem we derive an upper and a lower bound for the maximal and minimal Lyapunov exponent, respectively. The bounds assume independence of the random matrices, are analytical, and are tight in the commutative case as well as in other scenarios. They can be expressed in terms of an optimization problem that only involves single matrices rather than large products. The upper bound for the maximal Lyapunov exponent can be evaluated efficiently via the theory of convex optimization.
