description: Within the area of the botanical garden Braunschweig plant species running wild are recorded and documented. Between 2004 and 2012 157 species have been documented may be with additional 4 unclear cases. Only 7 of these species have been able to get over the borders of the garden. Compared to the high importance of gardening and horticulture for the running wild of alien species our investigations show again that botanical gardens do not play an important role in spreading of nonresident plants. Our explanation is the small population grown in botanical gardens and the high efforts in maintaining.

description: The probabilities for gaps in the eigenvalue spectrum of finite $ N\times N $ random unitary ensembles on the unit circle with a singular weight, and the related hermitian ensembles on the line with Cauchy weight, are found exactly. The finite cases for exclusion from single and double intervals are given in terms of second order second degree ODEs which are related to certain \mbox{Painlevé-VI} transcendents. The scaled cases in the thermodynamic limit are again second degree and second order, this time related to \mbox{Painlevé-V} transcendents. Using transformations relating the second degree ODE and transcendent we prove an identity for the scaled bulk limit which leads to a simple expression for the spacing p.d.f. We also relate all the variables appearing in the Fredholm determinant formalism to particular \mbox{Painlevé} transcendents, in a simple and transparent way, and exhibit their scaling behaviour.

description: Charge transport in electrorheological fluids is studied experimentally under strongly nonequlibrium conditions. By injecting an electrical current into a suspension of conducting nanoparticles we are able to initiate a process of self-organization which leads, in certain cases, to formation of a stable pattern which consists of continuous conducting chains of particles. The evolution of the dissipative state in such system is a complex process. It starts as an avalanche process characterized by nucleation, growth, and thermal destruction of such dissipative elements as continuous conducting chains of particles as well as electroconvective vortices. A power-law distribution of avalanche sizes and durations, observed at this stage of the evolution, indicates that the system is in a self-organized critical state. A sharp transition into an avalanche-free state with a stable pattern of conducting chains is observed when the power dissipated in the fluid reaches its maximum. We propose a simple evolution model which obeys the maximum power condition and also shows a power-law distribution of the avalanche sizes.

description: For the problem of independent component analysis we propose an alternative solution to determining $n$ independent sources from $n$ channels using a geometric approach. The resulting algorithm inherits many properties of the then applicable simplex algorithm, namely computational tractability even in high dimensions ($n geq 100$), and yields demixing estimates comparable to standard algorithms (e.g. FastICA) for extremely small sample sizes ($N = 50$). Our results are corroborated by demixing of a real world ECG data set from the PhysioNet database.

description: We report the discovery of the 1.008-day, ultra-short period (USP) super-Earth HD 213885b (TOI-141b) orbiting the bright ($V=7.9$) star HD 213885 (TOI-141, TIC 403224672), detected using photometry from the recently launched TESS mission. Using FEROS, HARPS and CORALIE radial-velocities, we measure a precise mass of $8.8\pm0.6$ $M_\oplus$ for this $1.74 \pm 0.05$ $R_\oplus$ exoplanet, which provides enough information to constrain its bulk composition, which is similar to Earth's but enriched in iron. The radius, mass and stellar irradiation of HD 213885b are, given our data, very similar to 55 Cancri e, making this exoplanet a good target to perform comparative exoplanetology of short period, highly irradiated super-Earths. Our precise radial-velocities reveal an additional $4.78$-day signal which we interpret as arising from a second, non-transiting planet in the system, HD 213885c (TOI-141c), whose minimum mass of $19.95\pm 1.4$ $M_\oplus$ makes it consistent with being a Neptune-mass exoplanet. The HD 213885 system is very interesting from the perspective of future atmospheric characterization, being the second brightest star to host an ultra-short period transiting super-Earth (with the brightest star being, in fact, 55 Cancri). Prospects for characterization with present and future observatories are discussed.

Social (network) psychology: How networks shape performance, persistence, and access to information

description: Social psychologists have long been interested in understanding behavior as a function of both individuals and the social structures in which they are embedded. However, since the cognitive revolution of the 1960s, processes internal to individuals have received greater attention than structural influences. This dissertation examines how networks may shape important real-world outcomes beyond intrapsychic phenomena across three studies in varied contexts. In doing so, this work suggests that the networks to which people belong—whether networks of social ties or networks of information—provide both affordances and constraints that affect behavior and outcomes. Chapter I provides a brief introduction to social network analysis as a set of theoretical, methodological, and analytical tools. Chapter II examines the gender gap in negotiation performance. Findings suggest that disparities between male and female MBA students in class social network positions predict this gap more strongly than intrapsychic mechanisms more commonly studied, such as apprehension about negotiating and stereotype threat. Chapter III examines how students’ social networks promote persistence over time in a high-stress science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) setting. This chapter pulls social network analysis into an experimental context by examining the effects of a randomly assigned social psychological intervention on students’ social networks and subsequent persistence in the biosciences. Chapter IV approaches networks from a different angle, examining how online news media are organized into network structures that may contribute to selective exposure to homogenous information. Finally, Chapter V discusses implications of these three studies. Specifically, I discuss implications for education research, intervention science, and the growing area of social network psychology.

description: We analyze the evolution of the normal and superconducting electronic properties in epitaxial TiN films, characterized by high Ioffe-Regel parameter values, as a function of the film thickness. As the film thickness decreases, we observe an increase of in the residual resistivity, which becomes dominated by diffusive surface scattering for $d\leq20\,$nm. At the same time, a substantial thickness-dependent reduction of the superconducting critical temperature is observed compared to the bulk TiN value. In such a high quality material films, this effect can be explained by a weak magnetic disorder residing in the surface layer with a characteristic magnetic defect density of $\sim10^{12}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-2}$. Our results suggest that surface magnetic disorder is generally present in oxidized TiN films.

description: A simple mechanism for the confinement of red cells in the middle of narrow blood vessels is proposed. In the presence of a quadratic shear, red cells deform in such a way to loose fore-aft symmetry and to achieve a fixed orientation with respect to the flow. This leads to a drift away from the vessel walls, when the vessel diameter goes below a critical value depending on the viscoelastic properties and the dimensions of the cell.

description: The Riemann hypothesis, one of the most important open problems in pure mathematics, implies the most profound secret of prime numbers. One of the most interesting approaches to solve this hypothesis is to connect the problem with the spectrum of the physical Hamiltonian of a quantum system. However, none of the proposed quantum Hamiltonians have been experimentally feasible.Here, we report the first experiment to identify the first non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function and the first two zeros of Pólya's fake zeta function, using a novel Floquet method, through properly designed periodically driving functions. According to this method, the zeros of these functions are characterized by the occurrence of crossings of quasi-energies when the dynamics of the system are frozen. The experimentally obtained zeros are in excellent agreement with their exact values. Our study provides the first experimental realization of the Riemann zeros, which may provide new insights into this fundamental mathematical problem.

description: We give an introduction to the transalgebraic theory of simply connected log-Riemann surfaces with a finite number of infinite ramification points (transalgebraic curves of genus $0$). We define the base vector space of transcendental functions and establish by elementary means some transcendental properties. We introduce the Ramificant Determinant constructed with transcendental periods and we give a closed-form formula that gives the main applications to transalgebraic curves. We prove an Abel-like Theorem and a Torelli-like Theorem. Transposing to the transalgebraic curve the base vector space of transcendental functions, they generate the structural ring from which the points of the transalgebraic curve can be recovered algebraically, including infinite ramification points.

description: We treat the calculation of gravitational radiation using the mixed timelike-null initial value formulation of general relativity. The determination of an exterior radiative solution is based on boundary values on a timelike worldtube $Γ$ and on characteristic data on an outgoing null cone emanating from an initial cross-section of $Γ$. We present the details of a 3-dimensional computational algorithm which evolves this initial data on a numerical grid, which is compactified to include future null infinity as finite grid points. A code implementing this algorithm is calibrated in the quasispherical regime. We consider the application of this procedure to the extraction of waveforms at infinity from an interior Cauchy evolution, which provides the boundary data on $Γ$. This is a first step towards Cauchy-characteristic matching in which the data flow at the boundary $Γ$ is two-way, with the Cauchy and characteristic computations providing exact boundary values for each other. We describe strategies for implementing matching and show that for small target error it is much more computationally efficient than alternative methods.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in clinical practice, but it has been traditionally limited by its slow data acquisition. Recent advances in compressed sensing (CS) techniques for MRI reduce acquisition time while maintaining high image quality. Whereas classical CS assumes the images are sparse in known analytical dictionaries or transform domains, methods using learned image models for reconstruction have become popular. The model could be pre-learned from datasets, or learned simultaneously with the reconstruction, i.e., blind CS (BCS). Besides the well-known synthesis dictionary model, recent advances in transform learning (TL) provide an efficient alternative framework for sparse modeling in MRI. TL-based methods enjoy numerous advantages including exact sparse coding, transform update, and clustering solutions, cheap computation, and convergence guarantees, and provide high-quality results in MRI compared to popular competing methods. This paper provides a review of some recent works in MRI reconstruction from limited data, with focus on the recent TL-based methods. A unified framework for incorporating various TL-based models is presented. We discuss the connections between transform learning and convolutional or filter bank models and corresponding multi-layer extensions, with connections to deep learning. Finally, we discuss recent trends in MRI, open problems, and future directions for the field.

Social Capital and Adolescents Mathematics Achievement: A Comparative Analysis of Eight European Cities

description: This study examines the impact of social capital on mathematics achievement in eight European cities. The study draws on data from the 2008 Youth in Europe survey, carried out by the Icelandic Center for Social Research and Analysis. The sample contains responses from 17,312 students in 9th and 10th grade of local secondary schools in the following cities: Bucharest in Romania, Kaunas, Klaípéda and Vilnius in Lithuania, Reykjavík in Iceland, Riga and Jurmala in Latvia and Sofia in Bulgaria. The study builds on social capital theory presented in 1988 by the American sociologist James Coleman. He argued that social capital in both family and community is a key factor in the creation of human capital, meaning that children that possess more social capital in their lives will do better in school. Several prior studies have empirically supported the theory, although most of those studies were carried out in the United States. The current study tests whether the theory of social capital holds across different cultures. The findings partly support the theory, showing that the key measures of social capital are positively correlated with mathematics achievement in all of the cities. The impact however was less in many of the cities than expected. Additionally, Coleman's key social capital variable did not positively associate with mathematics achievement in cities around Europe. The implications of that finding are discussed in the thesis.

description: Fifty years ago, though the buildings stood, "SoHo" did not yet exist in name or concept. Instead, the area referred to by some as "Hell's Hundred Acres" was considered to be a dying, industrial relic filled with unappealing buildings. Today, though built landscape of SoHo has largely remained the same, SoHo is synonymous with success, affluence, and upscale retail and loft real estate. Even those with prior familiarity with the past fifty years of history in SoHo must actively search for clues to this shift when walking the streets of SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District in the present day. For the historic preservation field, SoHo stands as one of the pivotal successes in securing the perpetual protection and regulation of a significant historic landscape and proving the value of preservation to the city and broader culture. Yet standing in the midst of this Landmark Historic District, there is little to remind us of the particular community that directly contributed to the survival of the district. The intent of this thesis is to use a critical study of the span of preservation intervention in the SoHo district of Manhattan to inspire the responsible stewardship of the early artist community's cultural heritage in the public memory and the physical environment of SoHo. This thesis also raises awareness that SoHo embodies concerns beyond its district boundaries: the belittling of the early artists' SoHo provides but one example of a community whose cultural and physical heritage has been overlooked due to factors (often) beyond its control and calls attention to the particular vulnerability of artist communities to fall victim to such neglect (typically in the very landscapes that they helped to revive). While much of the physical landscape of the early artists has indeed been irrevocably deprived of its authentic character, preservation of the community's memory and cultural heritage is not a lost cause. The thesis concludes with suggestions for interventions within the current preservation frameworks as well as how the preservation system might be improved to better accommodate historic artifacts with multiple layers and types of significance, a critical consideration as both the heritage artifacts and their designations mature.

description: We demonstrate that the correlations observed in conditioned multiplier distributions of the energy dissipation in fully developed turbulence can be understood as an unavoidable artefact of the observation procedure. Taking the latter into account, all reported properties of both unconditioned and conditioned multiplier distributions can be reproduced by cascade models with uncorrelated random weights if their bivariate splitting function is non-energy conserving. For the alpha-model we show that the simulated multiplier distributions converge to a limiting form, which is very close to the experimentally observed one. If random translations of the observation window are accounted for, also the subtle effects found in conditioned multiplier distributions are precisely reproduced.

LIGHTNING TALK: Investigating eLearning Behavior In Formative Assessments Using Multiple Choice Questions
Creators: name: Olson, Stephanie
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2019

description: Session LOCATION: George's (3rd Floor of the Johnson Center) Unsupervised formative assessments using questions from a large question bank may encourage behavior harmful to student learning. To test this hypothesis, a Blackboard experiment was conducted in which students were delivered two unsupervised quizzes based on core course material already covered in the course. The quizzes were then compared to assess student learning. This presentation discusses this experiment and provides insight into how students complete coursework in unsupervised e-learning environments, and how this impacts their learning experience.

Gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries: Second post-Newtonian waveforms as search templates
Creators: name: Droz, Serge

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997

description: We ascertain the effectiveness of the second post-Newtonian approximation to the gravitational waves emitted during the adiabatic inspiral of a compact binary system as templates for signal searches with kilometer-scale interferometric detectors. The reference signal is obtained by solving the Teukolsky equation for a small mass moving on a circular orbit around a large nonrotating black hole. Fitting factors computed from this signal and these templates, for various types of binary systems, are all above the 90% mark. According to Apostolatos' criterion, second post-Newtonian waveforms should make acceptably effective search templates.

description: Aus der Aufgabe der Wissenschaftstheorie, Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen der Wissenschaften zu analysieren, ohne dabei der Gefahr einer zirkulären Begründung zu verfallen, werden Bedingungen für den Gang der Wissenschaftstheorie selbst abgeleitet. Diese sind erstens die Unterscheidung von Wissenschaftstheorie und Metatheorie zur Vermeidung semantischer Antinomien, zweitens die Verwendung der Explikation als Methode der Begriffsfixierung zur Umgehung des Begründungszirkels, drittens der Rekurs auf Sprache und deren Rekonstruktion mit den Mitteln der Logik sowie einer allgemeinen Definitions- und Explikationslehre; viertens schließlich müssen methodische Regeln und Festsetzungen mit den dazugehörigen Relevanzbehauptungen als widerlegbare Hypothesen eingeführt werden.
description: The aim of philosophy of science, the analysis of fundamentals and presuppositions of science, implies some methodological suppositions, if a circular foundation shall be avoided: (1) the distinction between philosophy of science and its metatheory - to avoid semantic antinomies; (2) the use of explication as method of reconstructing concepts - in order to undergo circularity; (3) the start from language and its reconstruction by means of logic and a universal theory of definition and explication; (4) the introduction of methodological rules and conventions together with its assertions of relevancy, as rejectable hypotheses.
Semantic Image Synthesis with Spatially-Adaptive Normalization

description: We propose spatially-adaptive normalization, a simple but effective layer for synthesizing photorealistic images given an input semantic layout. Previous methods directly feed the semantic layout as input to the deep network, which is then processed through stacks of convolution, normalization, and nonlinearity layers. We show that this is suboptimal as the normalization layers tend to ``wash away'' semantic information. To address the issue, we propose using the input layout for modulating the activations in normalization layers through a spatially-adaptive, learned transformation. Experiments on several challenging datasets demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method over existing approaches, regarding both visual fidelity and alignment with input layouts. Finally, our model allows user control over both semantic and style. Code is available at https://github.com/NVlabs/SPADE .

name: Adloff, C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for excited electron e* production is described in which the electroweak decays e*->e gamma, e*->e Z and e*->nu W are considered. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 120 pb^(-1) taken in e^(+-)p collisions from 1994 to 2000 with the H1 detector at HERA at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV. No evidence for a signal is found. Mass dependent exclusion limits are derived for the ratio of the couplings to the compositeness scale, f/Lambda. These limits extend the excluded region to higher masses than has been possible in previous direct searches for excited electrons.

Burlington Mine VCUP case history : an ecological approach to mine site remediation
Creators: name: O’Shea-Stone, Maureen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This paper discusses the ecological approach and long-term results of remediation of the Burlington Mine, Boulder County, Colorado under a Voluntary Clean Up (VCUP) action. Located in the eastern Rocky Mountain foothills, this mine produced fluorspar from 1920 to 1973. Prior to the VCUP action, the vacant mine property was dominated by an unvegetated slope covered by a large, acidic waste rock pile, with unprotected mine adit and shaft openings, and numerous subsidence features. An intermittent creek crossed the waste rock, capturing and conducting surface water drainage from the waste rock downstream to confluence with James Creek. Remediation goals integrated an ecologically-based approach to create a self-sustaining local system that would: • establish a naturalistic and functional, self-sustaining plant community, • improve water quality in down gradient receiving streams by reducing surface and ground water interaction with waste rock; • limit potential for future subsidence; and • reduce onsite safety hazards and liability. The VCUP design integrated several innovative techniques that resulted in exceeding basic requirements, met multiple project goals, and accommodated the abundant physical constraints and challenges of remediating a high-altitude mine site. The paper reviews details of the remediation actions and presents monitoring results four years after completion of the VCUP.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]

description: An algorithm to characterize collective motion is presented, with the introduction of ``collective Lyapunov exponent'', as the orbital instability at a macroscopic level. By applying the algorithm to a globally coupled map, existence of low-dimensional collective chaos is confirmed, where the scale of (high-dimensional) microscopic chaos is separated from the macroscopic motion, and the scale approaches zero in the thermodynamic limit. pacs:05.45+b,05.90+m,64.60.Cn

description: We propose a simple but novel cosmological scenario where both the Planck mass and the dark energy scale emerge from the same super-Hubble quantum fluctuations of a non-minimally coupled ultra-light scalar field during primordial inflation. The current cosmic and solar-system observations constrain the non-minimal coupling to be small.

Social Capital as a Determinant of School Participation in Rural India: A Mixed Methods Study
Creators: Iyengar, Radhika

Year: 2011
Subjects: Education

description: Social capital is a resource that provides access to other resources in the community. If social capital can be harnessed locally in communities, it will have the potential to enhance community development. This mixed methods study uses econometric models and Hierarchical Linear Modeling approaches in the quantitative section, along with case study in the qualitative tradition. The study investigates the forms of social capital and its association with school participation. While the quantitative sections use nationally representative survey data, the qualitative data collection is based in one of India's most marginalized districts, Jhabua (with an overall literacy rate of 37 percent), and attempts to observe how social capital plays out in this district in rural India which is dominated by "tribal" or indigenous populations. This study is also an empirical validation of the components of social capital as described in the literature. The quantitative sections find a small but significant association between specific components of social capital and school participation indicators. Social capital in turn is mainly explained by household income, adult literacy and caste and religious affiliations of the household. The qualitative section highlights the disconnectedness between social capital and education in reality. It also showcases some of the negative aspects of social capital in the communities.

description: The solution of the problem of describing the Friedmann observables (the Hubble law, the red shift, etc.) in quantum cosmology is proposed on the basis of the method of gaugeless Hamiltonian reduction in which the gravitational part of the energy constraint is considered as a new momentum. We show that the conjugate variable corresponding to the new momentum plays a role of the invariant time parameter of evolution of dynamical variables in the sector of the Dirac observables of the general Hamiltonian approach. Relations between these Dirac observables and the Friedmann observables of the expanding Universe are established for the standard Friedmann cosmological model with dust and radiation. The presented reduction removes an infinite factor from the functional integral, provides the normalizability of the wave function of the Universe and distinguishes the conformal frame of reference where the Hubble law is caused by the alteration of the conformal dust mass.
