description: Bernd Tesch behandelt mit seiner Dissertation ein viel diskutiertes gegenwärtiges Thema der deutschen Bildungs- forschung und Fremdsprachendidaktik: Kompetenzorientierung. Im Zeitalter nach PISA, in dem u.a. durch die Ver- öffentlichung des Gemeinsamen europäischen Referenzrahmens für Sprachen (GER) und die Einführung nationaler Bildungsstandards für die erste Fremdsprache durch die Kultusministerkonferenz der Fokus auf Kompetenz- und Outputorientierung gelenkt wurde, stellt die Erforschung derselben im Kontext von Fremdsprachenunterricht ein wichtiges Desiderat der Fremdsprachendidaktik dar. Im vorliegenden Band konzentriert sich der Verfasser auf die konzeptionelle Beschreibung und Entwicklung sowie auf die empirische Untersuchung von kompetenzorientierten Lernaufgaben als Konkretisierung von Bildungsstandards.

description: Dass das Erlernen einer fremden Sprache nicht auf das Erlernen sprachlicher Strukturen im engeren Sinn beschränkt ist, sondern immer zugleich mit dem Erlernen der mit der Sprache verbundenen Bedeutungen einher geht, Sprachelernen somit immer auch Auseinandersetzung mit fremder ‚Kultur’ bedeutet, ist beileibe keine neue Erkenntnis, sondern wurde in der Geschichte des Fremdsprachenunterrichts immer schon gesehen und in der Praxis auch immer schon in der einen oder anderen Weise berücksichtigt. Allerdings kommt den heute im Allgemeinen als ‚Landeskunde’ bezeichneten kulturellen Anteilen des Fremdsprachenunterrichts zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts eine andere und bei weitem wichtigere Rolle zu, als dies in früheren Zeiten der Fall war. Die heute meist unter dem Stichwort ‚Globalisierung’ diskutierte weltweite Vernetzung von Kommunikationsströmen, der damit eng verbundene Bedeutungsverlust des Nationalen zugunsten zunehmend hybrider Identitäten, die weltweiten Migrationsbewegungen und die Alltäglichkeit der Begegnung mit dem ‚Fremden’, nicht zuletzt aber auch die durch die Ereignisse des 11. September 2001 anschaulich gewordene Gefahr eines ‚clash of civilisations’ haben die Fähigkeit zu interkultureller Kommunikation und Verständigung und zum Umgang mit Verschiedenheit zu einer zentralen Schlüsselqualifikation gemacht, die zwar weit über den Fremdsprachenunterricht hinausweist und die Aufgaben der Bildungsinstitutionen insgesamt tangiert, die aber gleichwohl auch für den Fremdsprachenunterricht eine völlig neue Herausforderung darstellt.

description: This design research project aims to both investigate how blind people create and recall notes and identify the challenges they face when doing so. This study examines the proper use of ethics, methods, analysis of processes, and concept development to explore potential solutions to the creation and recall of notes by blind people. Covid-19 restrictions widened the scope surrounding this subject by forcing the experimentation of online research through different digital platforms. Studying the differences in multiple fields of the unknown boundaries experienced in the daily lives of blind people and the real-time advantages of sighted people has led to the realization that minority communities, such as the blind community, are falling behind in terms of accessibility. The blind have many difficulties to overcome and the lack of current technology designed to assist in taking and recalling notes is a major stepping stone in many blind people's education and careers. Multiple note-taking methods and platforms are available for sighted people, facilitating the creation and recall of notes. Note-taking methods take many forms from highlighting, underlining, or writing notes in the margins. As a non-sighted person, options are limited to voice recordings, bookmarking or dog-earing a full page, or using a braille typewriter or stylus- slate. Voice recordings are difficult to search through afterwards, marking a page only gives a general idea of the highlighted material, and a braille typewriter or stylus-slate creates an excessive amount of paper notes. All of which makes finding notes and the recollection of data incredibly challenging. This research outlines crucial findings from expert and participant interviews and surveys; it also analyzes podcasts, blogs, videos, social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook target groups. The design of a single device that brings together different note-taking methods onto one platform and enables users to have the flexibility to take notes efficiently is proposed in the hopes to facilitate note-taking without the need of additional devices.
XMM-Newton and Swift observations prove GRB 090709A to be a distant, standard, long GRB

description: GRB 090709A is a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered by Swift, featuring a bright X-ray afterglow as well as a faint infrared transient with very red and peculiar colors. The burst attracted a large interest because of a possible quasi-periodicity at P=8.1 s in the prompt emission, suggesting that it could have a different origin with respect to standard, long GRBs. In order to understand the nature of this burst, we obtained a target of opportunity observation with XMM-Newton. X-ray spectroscopy, based on XMM-Newton and Swift data, allowed us to model the significant excess in photoelectric absorption with respect to the Galactic value as due to a large column density (about 6.5E+22 cm^-2) in the GRB host, located at z=4.2. Such a picture is also consistent with the infrared transient's properties. Re-analysis of the prompt emission, based on INTEGRAL and on Swift data, excludes any significant modulation at P=8.1 s. Thus, we conclude that GRB 090709A is a distant, standard, long GRB.

title: Day-Specific Time Use by Underachieving Adolescents
Creators: name: Cassingham, Dorothy Jean
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1990

description: The data for this study were obtained in October 1989 through the use of a 128-item questionnaire given to students attending an alternative high school in Ogden, Utah. The Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale was included as part of the questionnaire. A total of 166 usable questionnaires were received from the students.
The objectives of this research were to determine if relationships between self-esteem, race, gender, and religion and time use could be detected in at-risk adolescents. The data collected indicate that self-esteem, religion, gender, and race have only slight significance upon the self-reported time use of the alternative high school student.
The alternative high school students came from multiple economic and social backgrounds but were quite homogeneous in their perceptions about Sunday and in their activities on Sunday.
Statistical significance was noted in the comparisons of self-esteem and gender to self-reported time use. Those students with high self-esteem viewed Sunday more as a day of little or no accomplishment than those with low self-esteem. Gender appears to influence how time is spent, as significant differences were found in the amount of TV watched by boys ad girls as well as in time spent goofing off and in preparing and eating meals.
Comparisons between members of the two dominant religions, Catholicism and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, produced no statistical significance regarding religion and Sunday self-reported time use. Comparisons between students of the two dominant races, Caucasian and Hispanic, produced no statistical significance regarding race and Sunday self-reported time use.
title: Parenting Styles and Family Communication as Correlates of Juvenile Delinquency
Creators: name: White, Montone
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: The goal of this study was to examine parenting styles and family communication as correlates of juvenile delinquency. A review of the literature was completed in the areas of parenting styles, family communication, and juvenile delinquency. The literature that was reviewed for this study was examined mainly from juvenile perceptions. This study was approached from a general systems theory perspective.
A sample of juveniles (N = 78) from Weber County, Utah, involved in the juvenile justice system completed a survey assessing their perception of parenting styles and family communication. The survey was a 25-item questionnaire measuring kindness, unkindness, communication, authoritarian parenting, authoritative parenting, and permissive parenting.
A correlation was computed to show the relationship between the variables . It showed that there were moderate positive correlations between kindness, communication, and authoritative parenting styles. Also there was a moderate negative correlation between unkindness, communication, and authoritative parenting styles.
While the sample limits generalizations of results, these preliminary findings provide interesting results for professionals who work with juveniles involved in the juvenile justice system.

description: A novel Broadband Waveguide to Coaxial Transition for High Order Mode Damping in Particle Accelerator RF Cavities (BTHD) has been studied and developed in the framework of the Frascati Φ-Factory project DAPHNE. The cavity high order modes (HOM) are the primary source of coupled-bunch instabilities in multibunch storage rings. The energy delivered by the particle beam to the cavity HOMs and coupled out with waveguides is converted by BTHD into the TEM coaxial mode and dissipated by a 50Ω load connected via a ceramic feedthrough. This article deals with the design and the low power tests performed on a BTHD prototype and the considerations for a real application to an accelerator.

Year: 1973

description: The effects of degree of sexual homogeneity, in groups of preschool children, on performance of a task were studied. Twenty four-year-old male children from the Utah State Child Development Laboratories served as subjects. Each subject performed the task of placing pegs in a pegboard during a sixty-second time interval; once in a group of opposite-sex peers; once in a group of same-sex peers; and once on a one-to-one basis with the author.
The findings seemed to indicate that preschool children's rate of task performance is not influenced by the presence or absence of peers of the same-and opposite - sex. Differences between scores of subjects under each experimental condition were not significant.
title: Forced Sexual Intercourse in Relation to Female Adolescents' Risky Sexual Behavior, Psychopathology, and Behavior Problems
Creators: name: Christensen, Mathew
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: During 1995, over 20,000 adolescents completed the in-home interview for The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). One question asked females if they had ever been forced to have sexual intercourse (FSI). In addition, they were asked about other sexual behavior, their psychological well-being, and behavior problems. The present study examines the associations between FSI and 26 outcome variables, comparing adolescent females who reported FSI with females who reported voluntary intercourse, and with females who reported no intercourse. In addition, the large Add Health sample allowed comparisons between five race/ethnicity groups and four adolescent groups broken down by age.
Psychological and emotional correlates of sexual abuse have been widely documented, but until now, studies of sexual abuse had largely consisted of small samples of mostly White females with limited generalizability. The Add Health sample was large enough to go beyond psychopathology to include risky sexual behavior, and behavior problems. The Add Health sample is representative of the overall population of adolescents in the United States during the mid 1990s.
Results showed that females forced to have intercourse have earlier and more frequent risky sexual behavior, more severe symptoms of psychopathology, and were much more likely to report behavior problems such as smoking, drinking, and drug use (a finding that has been largely unreported) than were females who reported no intercourse. Drug use was the variable on which females who reported forced intercourse and those who reported no intercourse differed most. Females who reported FSI were five times more likely to have reported illicit drug use than were females who reported no intercourse. Asian and White females who reported forced intercourse had the greatest vulnerability for negative outcomes, while African American females who reported forced intercourse had the greatest resilience against negative outcomes. Among female adolescents who reported forced intercourse, the youngest (ages 12, 13, and 14 years) were the most vulnerable to experience severe psychopathology and to report cigarette smoking and drinking alcohol.

In this   paper we describe how the problem of job management has been   addressed in the gLite middleware by means of the CREAM and   CEMonitor services. CREAM (Computing Resource Execution and  Management) provides a job execution and management capability for   Grid systems, while CEMonitor is a general-purpose asynchronous   event notification framework. Both services expose a Web Service   interface allowing conforming clients to submit, manage and monitor   computational jobs to a Local Resource Management System.
title: Temperament, Attachment, and Parenting Stress in Infancy: Relations to Social Competence of Second Graders
Creators: name: Cook, Gina A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: The importance of social competence in children's development has been recognized, and evidence has been found that children who are socially incompetent are at risk for academic problems. Yet the influences that may be involved from infancy, such as temperament and attachment, have not been explored longitudinally. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of infant temperament characteristics on later social development and to explore the idea that this influence may be affected by the infant's attachment security mediated by parenting stress.
Eighteen-month-old infants, from a previous study, were studied as second graders to examine whether their development was influenced by early attachment and temperament . This study examined the involvement of infant temperament and attachment in relation to maternal goodness-of-fit and parenting stress to predict social problems in the school years to gain valuable insight into the potential of the infant to influence his/her own development.
Results indicate that characteristics of the infant and the mother-infant relationship have only indirect relations with how children function later in childhood. However, the child's temperament as a second grader, although not stable from infancy, is related to how well a child adapts in a school environment

description: We address the dynamics of magnetic domain walls in ferromagnetic nanowires under the influence of external time-dependent magnetic fields. We report a new exact spatiotemporal solution of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the case of soft ferromagnetic wires and nanostructures with uniaxial anisotropy. The solution holds for applied fields with arbitrary strength and time dependence. We further extend this solution to applied fields slowly varying in space and to multiple domain walls.

description: It is shown that operator-selfdecomposable measures, or more precisely their Urbanik decomposability semigroups, induce generalized Mehler semigroups of bounded linear operators. Moreover, those semigroups can be represented as random integrals of operator valued functions with respect to stochastic Lévy processes. Our Banach space setting is in the contrast with the Hilbert spaces on which so far and most often the generalized Mehler semigroups were studied. Furthermore, we give new proofs of the random integral representation.

title: The Home Manager's Education Level as Related to Perception of Locus of Control
Creators: name: Lundell, Joyce Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The relationship of level of education to degree of "internality" in home managers was investigated. Level of education was defined as the number of years of formal education completed. The degree of "internality" was defined as a score on Rotter's I-E Scale.
The instruments used were a background questionnaire and Rotter's I-D Scale.
The background questionnaire and the I-E Scale were administered to 163 home managers from Ogden, Utah, who were members of selected women's church affiliated organizations.
Two hypotheses were formulated and tested,
1. Higher level of formal education will be correlated with lower I-E Scale scores for home managers. A product-moment correlation of r = - .069 was found, and hypothesis 1 was rejected.
2. Home managers with 13 or more years of formal education will be significantly more "internal" than home managers with 12 or less years of formal education. A non-directional t-test value of 2.23 was found to be significant at the .05 level, and Hypothesis 2 was not rejected.
Analysis of background data showed religious affiliation to be significantly related to I-E Scale scores. The home manager's age also made a significant difference in I-E scores: women 50 years old and over were more "internal."

This paper presents a new technique to manipulate diamond nano-crystals at the nano-scale using a scanning electron microscope, nano-manipulator and custom tapered optical fibre probes. The manipulation of a ~ 300 nm diamond crystal, containing a single nitrogen-vacancy centre, onto the endface of an optical fibre is demonstrated. The emission properties of the single photon source post manipulation are in excellent agreement with those observed on the original substrate.

description: We present measurements of the semileptonic decays B- --> D0 tau- nubar_tau, B- --> D*0 tau- nubar_tau, B0bar --> D+ tau- nubar_tau, and B0bar --> D*+ tau- nubar_tau, which are sensitive to non--Standard Model amplitudes in certain scenarios. The data sample consists of 232x10^6 Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider. We select events with a D or D* meson and a light lepton (ell=e or mu) recoiling against a fully reconstructed B meson. We perform a fit to the joint distribution of lepton momentum and missing mass squared to distinguish signal B --> D(*) tau- nubar_tau (tau- --> ell- nubar_ell nu_tau) events from the backgrounds, predominantly B --> D(*) ell- nubar_ell. We measure the branching-fraction ratios R(D) == BR(B --> D tau- nubar_tau) / BR(B --> D ell- nubar_ell) and R(D*) == BR(B --> D* tau- nubar_tau) / BR(B --> D* ell- nubar_ell) and, from a combined fit to B- and B0bar channels, obtain the results R(D)=(41.6 +/- 11.7 +/- 5.2)% and R(D*)=(29.7 +/- 5.6 +/- 1.8)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic. Normalizing to measured B- --> D(*)0 ell- nubar_ell branching fractions, we obtain BR(B --> D tau- nubar_tau)=(0.86 +/- 0.24 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.06)% and BR(B --> D* tau- nubar_tau)=(1.62 +/- 0.31 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.05)%, where the additional third uncertainty is from the normalization mode. We also present, for the first time, distributions of the lepton momentum, p*_ell, and the squared momentum transfer, q^2.

description: We study in random-phase approximation the newly discovered supersolid phase of ${}^4$He and present in detail its finite temperature properties. ${}^4$He is described within a hard-core quantum lattice gas model, with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions taken into account. We rigorously calculate all pair correlation functions in a cumulant decoupling scheme. Our results support the importance of the vacancies in the supersolid phase. We show that in a supersolid the net vacancy density remains constant as function of temperature, contrary to the thermal activation theory. We also analyzed in detail the thermodynamic properties of a supersolid, calculated the jump in the specific heat which compares well to the recent experiments.

title: Relating Children's Social Competence to Maternal Beliefs and Management Strategies of Peer Relationships
Creators: name: Hamel, Eryn D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: This study explored the links between maternal beliefs about the importance of children's social skills, modes of obtaining social skills, management strategies, and children's social competence. Subjects were 67 mothers whose 3- and 4-year-old children attended one of five preschools in Cache Valley, Utah. Mothers completed questionnaires assessing their beliefs about the importance of social skills, their beliefs about how children acquire social skills, and the ways they are involved in their children 's peer relationships. Demographic measures were also completed by the mothers. Classroom teachers completed the Child Behavior Scale on every child in their class, regardless of maternal participation, in order to measure the child's social skills with peers.
The results showed that mothers who returned the questionnaires were significantly more likely to have children with lower social competence. Mothers believed that social skills were important for preschool children and rated resolving conflicts, making friends, and sharing as more important than sticking-up for oneself or being a leader. Mothers were slightly more likely to believe that social skills were acquired as a result of innate characteristics. However, they were also more likely to choose an experience explanation for not being considerate of others ' feelings and choose an innate explanation for children who were considerate of other children's feelings. When ranking modes of acquisition, mothers who chose an experience or teaching explanation were less likely to believe that social skills were influenced by innate characteristics of the child. Mothers who believed that children gain social skills through experience were also more likely to have children with lower social competence.
When testing the hypotheses, links between maternal beliefs about the importance of social skills, maternal management strategies, and children 's social competence were not found. No differences were found between maternal beliefs or management strategies of mothers of 3-year-olds and mothers of 4-year-olds. There were also no statistically significant differences in mothers' beliefs or management strategies based upon children's gender. Children's age and gender were not found to be related to children's social competence.

description: Recently Ho$\breve{r}$ava proposed a non-relativistic renormalisable theory of gravitation. When restricted to satisfy the condition of detailed balance, this theory is intimately related to topologically massive gravity in three dimensions, and the geometry of the Cotton tensor. At long distances, this theory is expected to flow to the relativistic value $λ= 1$, and could therefore serve as a possible candidate for a UV completion of Einstein general relativity or an infrared modification thereof. In this paper under allowing the lapse function to depend on the spatial coordinates $x^i$ as well as $t$, we obtain the spherically symmetric solutions. And then by analyzing the behavior of the effective potential for the particle, we investigate the timelike geodesic motion of particle in the Ho$\breve{r}$ava-Lifshitz spacetime. We find that the nonradial particle falls from a finite distance to the center along the timelike geodesics when its energy is in an appropriate range. However, we find that it is complexity for radial particle along the timelike geodesics. There are follow different cases due to the energy of radial particle: 1) When the energy of radial particle is higher than a critical value $E_{C}$, the particle will fall from infinity to the singularity directly; 2) When the energy of radial particle equals to the critical value $E_{C}$, the particle orbit is unstable at $r=r_{C}$, i.e. the particle will escape from $r=r_{C}$ to the infinity or to the singularity, which is determined by the initial conditions of the particle; 3) When the energy of radial particle is in a proper range, the particle will rebound to the infinity or plunge to the singularity from a infinite distance, which is also determined by the initial conditions of the particle.

description: Wer die bisherigen Arbeiten der Rauischholzhausener Frühjahrskonferenzen kennt, der weiß, dass es sich dabei nicht um die üblichen ‚Buchbindersynthesen’ handelt, bei denen die einzelnen Beiträge nur mühsam unter ein gemeinsames Rahmenthema subsumiert werden können, sondern dass sich hier die Beiträge meist sehr diszipliniert an einer Problemstellung orientieren, die von den Veranstaltern der Konferenzen vorab in Form leitender Fragestellungen vorgegeben wird. Von dieser bewährten Verfahren weicht auch der jetzt vorliegende Band nicht ab.

description: Mehrsprachigkeit gehört im Schulalltag in Deutschland zwar seit geraumer Zeit zur Normalität, rückt aber erst seit kurzem stärker ins Bewusstsein. Adelheid Hus qualitativ-empirische Studie leistet dazu einen wichtigen Beitrag. Sie problematisiert dieses Phänomen im Spannungsfeld von Identität, Sprachenpolitik und schulischer Realität auf dem Hintergrund des aktuellen didaktischen und kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskurses und entwickelt daraus Konsequenzen für die fremdsprachendidaktische Forschung und die Lehrerausbildung.
Sur le spectre semi-classique d'un système intégrable de dimension 1 autour d'une singularité hyperbolique

description: In this article we describe the semi-classical spectrum of a Schrodinger operator on $\mathbb{R}$ with a double well potential. We study the shape of spectrum around the local maximum of the potential. In the classification of singularities of integrable systems, the double wells is the model of non-degenerate hyperbolic singularity.

description: We provide a complete theory of the phase closure of a binary system in which a small, feeble, and unresolved companion acts as a perturbing parameter on the spatial frequency spectrum of a dominant, bright, resolved source. We demonstrate that the influence of the companion can be measured with precision by measuring the phase closure of the system near the nulls of the primary visibility function. In these regions of phase closure nulling, frequency intervals always exist where the phase closure signature of the companion is larger than any systematic error and can then be measured.We show that this technique allows retrieval of many astrophysically relevant properties of faint and close companions such as flux, position, and in favorable cases, spectrum. We conclude by a rapid study of the potentialities of phase closure nulling observations with current interferometers and explore the requirements for a new type of dedicated instrument.
title: The Child's Perceptual Awareness of His Own Segmented Facial Parts
Creators: name: Trevers, Gregory Carl
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the developmental abilities of young middle-class, caucasian children to perceptually discriminate their own segmented facial parts. The Segmented Facial Parts Test, which utilized a black and white, 8 inch by 10 inch photograph, was developed by the investigator as a part of the study. it was designed to explore degrees of developmental variance on facial awareness tasks. The SFPT was incorporated as the testing instrument.
Children ages 8 1/2, 6 1/2 and 4 1/2 years were examined on nine facial segment tasks. Sociological, psychological and psychiatric theories were employed in order to explain the possible interconnections between body awareness and self concept maturation and enhancement. "Whole-part" perception theory was also clarified and substantiated by this study.
Results indicated that mental and chronological maturity are significant variables affecting the amount of facial awareness occurring in young children. Young males and females exhibit no substantial differences in their segmented facial parts awareness. According to this study, younger children adhere to a "holistic" style of perceptual functioning. "Part" perception becomes more and more apparent as the child's age increases.
Antimatter, just a "Semantic" Question
Creators: name: P. Spillantini
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: In the field of Cosmology most of the scientific works concerning the question of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe deal with the baryonic matter without mentioning the role and the evolution of the leptonic matter. The observation of this lack gave rise to the attempt outlined in this letter of including also the leptons in the simple scheme of a matter-antimatter asymmetry originated from CP violation in the breaking of the supersymmetric state of the primordial Universe. A further reason, much more speculative and 'academic', for such an attempt could be found in the dissatisfaction for the final fate of an 'all-matte'Universe that the possible decay of the proton drives to an "all-antimatter" Universe. It must anyway be underlined that this argument, even if it could have an aesthetic merit, cannot at all be regarded as a scientific one: the mean life of the proton is in any case long, exceeding by tens of order of magnitude the present life time of the Universe, that any extrapolation of the evolution of the Universe on such a long time scale is a nonsense.
Minimal Flavour Violation and Multi-Higgs Models

description: We propose an extension of the hypothesis of Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV) to general multi-Higgs Models without the assumption of Natural Flavour Conservation in the Higgs sector. We study in detail under what conditions the neutral Higgs couplings are only functions of $V_{CKM}$ and propose a MFV expansion for the neutral Higgs couplings to fermions.

description: Eine Enzyklopädie ist laut Duden (Deutsches Universal Wörterbuch) ein "Nachschlagewerk, in dem der gesamte Wissensstoff aller Disziplinen od. nur eines Fachgebiets in alphabetischer od. systematischer Anordnung dargestellt ist." Der Titel des vorliegenden Buches ist also ein anspruchsvolles Programm. Auch wenn dem Namen "Enzyklopädie" das Attribut "klein" beigefügt wird, signalisieren die Verfasser und Herausgeber schon durch den Titel, dass sie sich sehr viel vorgenommen haben. Das Unternehmen, einen Überblick über den gesamten Wissensbestand in Bezug auf die deutsche Sprache zu geben, muss angesichts der Tatsache, dass unter Experten schon die Auffassungen über den Gegenstand des Buches divergieren, angesichts der unterschiedlichen Forschungsansätze und nicht zuletzt auch der Komplexität des Gegenstandes selber als ausgesprochen gewagt bezeichnet werden. Man kann hier schon vorwegnehmen, dass es den Verfassern der Kleinen Enzyklopädie tatsächlich gelungen ist, dem durch die Titelwahl erhobenen Anspruch gerecht zu werden.

description: The Beta Beam CERN design is based on the present LHC injection complex and its physics reach is mainly limited by the maximum rigidity of the SPS. In fact, some of the scenarios for the machine upgrades of the LHC, particularly the construction of a fast cycling 1 TeV injector (``Super-SPS''), are very synergic with the construction of a higher γ Beta Beam. At the energies that can be reached by this machine, we demonstrate that dense calorimeters can already be used for the detection of ν at the far location. Even at moderate masses (40 kton) as the ones imposed by the use of existing underground halls at Gran Sasso, the CP reach is very large for any value of θ13 that would provide evidence of νe appearance at T2K or NOνA (θ13≥3∘). Exploitation of matter effects at the CERN to Gran Sasso distance provides sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy in significant areas of the θ13−δ plane.

description: A check of the eccentricity of the aluminised kapton straw tubes used in the BTeV experiment is accomplished using X-ray tomography of the section of tubes modules. 2 and 3-dimensional images of the single tubes and of the modules are reconstructed and analysed. Preliminary results show that a precision better than 40 μm can be reached on the measurement of the straw radii.

description: Die blaue Blume, das zentrale Symbol der deutschen Romantik, das für die unstillbare Sehnsucht und das Streben nach dem Unendlichen [1] steht, gab den Namen für ein einbändiges DaF-Lehrwerk des Hueber Verlags [2], das in 54 unterschiedlich langen Einheiten von in der Regel 4-8 Buchseiten den gesamten Stoff der Grundstufe für etwa 300-400 Unterrichtsstunden vermittelt und nach dem Referenzrahmen des Europarats bis zur Niveaustufe B1 führt. Die Kurzcharakteristik des Lehrwerks kann lauten: Einbändig, zweisprachig, zweifarbig. Das Kurskonzept setzt auf das unter Fachdidaktikern nicht unumstrittene Prinzip der Zweisprachigkeit: In dem Lehrwerk wird den Lernenden in ihrer Ausgangssprache erklärt, um was es in den Lerneinheiten geht und was es jeweils zu tun und zu lernen gibt. Durch diese Erläuterungen können Lernende auch allein weiterarbeiten, wenn sie z. B. den Unterricht versäumen mussten. Zu dem Lehrwerk, das in den Sprachen Englisch, Griechisch, Italienisch, Polnisch, Spanisch und Ungarisch vorliegt, gibt es Zusatzmaterialien wie Audiocassetten, CDs mit Aufnahmen zur Schulung des Hörverstehens und ein Handbuch für Lehrende und Lernende. [3] Die Verfasserinnen und Verfasser halten das Lehrwerk für so transparent, dass sie auf ein Lehrerhandbuch verzichtet und ersatzweise—oder besser als Zusatz—ein Handbuch für Lehrende und Lernende mit Glossar erstellt haben, das zusätzliche Übungen zur Überprüfung des Vokabulars, Lösungen aller Aufgaben und Tests, Transkripte der Hörtexte und eine Mini-Grammatik anbietet.
