description: In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben unsere molekularbiologischen Kenntnisse stark zugenommen. Ihre Anwendung in der industriellen Praxis insbesondere zur Produktion von rekombinanten Proteinen wird oft Gentechnik genannt. Zu ihrer erfolgreichen Nutzung in der Industrie benötigt man mehr Informationen über die Regulation der Mikroorganismen und Zellen, über die Struktur der Produkte und fortgeschrittene Prozessführung, d.h. bessere Messmethoden zur Überwachung der Vorgänge in Bioreaktoren, genauere mathematische Modelle über das Verhalten der Mikroorganismen und Zellen während ihres Wachstums und ihrer Produktbildung, als bisher bei klassischen Verfahren verwendet wurden. Mit Hilfe der verfeinerten Messtechnik und mathematischen Modelle lassen sich die Prozesse besser regeln.
Auch zur Gewinnung und Reinigung der Produkte werden neue Techniken benötigt. Die erforderliche hohe Qualität der Produkte wird mit hochentwickelten analytischen Methoden kontrolliert.
Im Folgenden wird eine Übersicht über die neuen Entwicklungen der Produktbildung, die in Bioreaktoren erfolgt, berichtet. Die Aufarbeitung der Produkte wird nicht behandelt.
Metaphor Evaluation for Software Development by Using Extreme Programming 1 Metaphor Evaluation for Software Development by Using Extreme Programming
Creators: name: Ch V Phani Krishna

Year: 2024

description: Software engineering is “the application of scientifically based engineering principles and practices in order to build high quality software on time and within budget”. Extreme programming (XP) does not focus on these “scientifically based engineering principles,” instead it focuses on building high quality software on time and within budget. XP is a blend of proven software development principles and an understanding that building software is a technique. By focusing on simplicity, communication, feedback, and courage, XP’s real asset is people. The software engineers that work in an XP process work within the framework of 12 guidelines that define their process: the planning game, small releases, a system metaphor, simple design, testing, refactoring, pair programming, collective ownership, continuous integration, 40-hour work week, an on-site client, and strong codingstandards.

description: As social media platforms and the internet have become an integral part of our civic and political lives, many questions about how to approach digital politics and civic engagement have emerged in the past few years. This project attempts to address some of those questions, specifically how we may think about civic education in the digital age. I begin with the premise that in the digital age, education for democracy must focus on its epistemic aspect. While proponents of aggregative forms of democracy consider vote to be the main form of citizen participation, forms of epistemic democracy such as deliberative democracy seek to contribute to social knowledge through communication amongst citizens, civil society, market players and state institutions. I initially ground my inquiry within the American context by highlighting the participatory character of the American democratic ethos. For this, I evoke John Dewey’s view of democracy as involving collective inquiry that allows both individual growth and the enrichment of collective life. Then, by examining Jürgen Habermas’ deliberative and Chantal Mouffe’s agonistic models of democracy against the backdrop of increasing digital mediation of civic and political discourse, I problematize democratic subjectivity in the digital age and suggest using Etienne Balibar’s notion of transindividuality, which he develops from 17th century philosopher Baruch Spinoza. While Habermas demonstrates that certain communication conditions are necessary for legitimate political action, Mouffe reminds us that taking into account the importance of collective affective drives can help us take seriously the plurality of our contemporary democracies. However, I argue that in the digital age the strengths of these two approaches must be adapted to the evolving materiality of the environment in which people’s lived experience takes place rather than merely kept for instances of communication that occur within state institutions. For this, Balibar’s suggestion to think of the process of freedom of speech as a public good allows us to ground discourse in the material context in which it is produced and maintained, and provides a generative way of thinking of the role of education in our times.
Two-component Dark Matter with co-genesis of Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe

description: We discuss the possibility of realising a two-component dark matter (DM) scenario where the two DM candidates differ from each other by virtue of their production mechanism in the early universe. One of the DM candidates is thermally generated in a way similar to the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) paradigm where the DM abundance is governed by its freeze-out while the other candidate is produced only from non-thermal contributions similar to freeze-in mechanism. We discuss this in a minimal extension of the standard model where light neutrino masses arise radiatively in a way similar to the scotogenic models with DM particles going inside the loop. The lepton asymmetry is generated at the same time from WIMP DM annihilations as well as partially from the mother particle for non-thermal DM. This can be achieved while satisfying the relevant experimental bounds, and keeping the scale of leptogenesis or the thermal DM mass as low as 3 TeV, well within present experimental reach. In contrast to the TeV scale thermal DM mass, the non-thermal DM can be as low as a few keV, giving rise to the possibility of a sub-dominant warm dark matter (WDM) component that can have interesting consequences on structure formation. The model also has tantalizing prospects of being detected at ongoing direct detection experiments as well as the ones looking for charged lepton flavour violating process like $μ\rightarrow e γ$.

description: Nichtglatte dynamische Systeme gewinnen im Ingenieurbereich und anderen Anwendungswissenschaften zunehmend an Bedeutung. In mechanischen Systemen führt die Berücksichtigung von Reibungs- und Stoßeffekten zu unstetigen Kennlinien in den Modellgleichungen. Auch in der Beschreibung elektrischer Schaltkreise und neuronaler Netze treten nichtglatte Phänomene durch Schalterfunktionen bzw. Potentialentladungen auf. Schon sehr einfache niedrigdimensionale mathematische Modelle weisen eine komplexe nichtglatte Dynamik auf. Die klassischen Methoden zur Analyse dynamischer Systeme sind auf solche Modelle in der Regel nicht anwendbar. Über die Einbettung unstetiger Differentialgleichungen in die Theorie der Differentialinklusionen lassen sich Erkenntnisse über die Existenz- und Eindeutigkeit, sowie die Stabilitätseigenschaften von Lösungen solcher Systeme gewinnen. Bei komplexeren Systemen unter Nebenbedingungen, wie z. B. Mehrkörperprobleme, kann die Theorie der Linearen Komplementarität nutzbringend angewendet werden. Probleme der Verzweigungstheorie und Berechnung von Attraktoren sind aktuelle Fragen in der Forschung. Auch im Bereich der numerischen Lösung unstetiger Differentialgleichungen sind in den vergangenen Jahren wesentliche Fortschritte erzielt worden. 
Zusammenfassende Darstellungen über nichtglatte Systeme finden sich in [1] bis [7]. Spezielle Fragen der Numerik, Optimierung und Verzweigungstheorie werden in [8], [9] bzw. [10] angesprochen.

We observed ultrafast photo-induced changes in the MOKE signal induced by a large density of spin-polarized transient carriers created only within the InMnAs layer using intense 140 fs mid-infrared pulses. Our data clearly demonstrates that magnetic properties, e.g., remanence and coercivity, can be strongly modified. The dependence of these changes on the time delay, pump polarization, pump intensity, and sample temperature is discussed.

description: We extend the notion of quasi-exactly solvable (QES) models from potential ones and differential equations to Bose systems. We obtain conditions under which algebraization of the part of the spectrum occurs. In some particular cases simple exact expressions for several energy levels of an anharmonic Bose oscillator are obtained explicitly. The corresponding results do not exploit perturbation theory and include strong coupling regime. A generic Hamiltonian under discussion cannot, in contrast to QES potential models, be expressed as a polynomial in generators of $sl_{2}$ algebra. The suggested approach is extendable to many-particle Bose systems with interaction.

Rethinking Industrial Heritage: A Discussion of the Preservation of Compromised and Contested Cultural Landscapes in Butte, Montana
Creators: LaFever, Alison M.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Nicknamed the "Richest Hill on Earth," the city of Butte, Montana, is one of the most significant industrial heritage sites in the world. It is touted as being the largest and longest running single copper mining site in the history of the United States, and between 1887 and 1920, the copper mines of Butte, along with the smelting facilities in the neighboring community of Anaconda, were the largest producer of copper in the world. In many ways, the mining industry has both created and physically destroyed the cultural landscape of Butte, contributing to a complex identity that continues to define the place today. This dichotomy creates specific challenges with regard to the preservation of cultural resources related to industrial heritage in Butte. This thesis evaluates the specific challenges associated with industrial heritage preservation in Butte by applying a few conceptual theories that are at the foundation of scholarship in the field. It attempts to expand the current definition of industrial heritage that is applied in Butte in order to explore the ways in which the city's industrial heritage can be fully understood and incorporated into the big picture of Butte's ongoing preservation efforts through a variety of tools and strategies. The discussion advocates for why the preservation of Butte's unique industrial heritage is important as well as addresses the larger issue related to the lack of appreciation of industrial heritage landscapes within the field of historic preservation as a whole.
Embodying progressive reclamation beyond closure : challenging the concept of “end land use”

description: Mining in British Columbia is considered a temporary "use" of the Land with operators required to develop Reclamation and Closure plans that outline progressive reclamation activities to be conducted throughout the life of the mine. Progressive reclamation is typically defined approximately as "a reclamation activity undertaken concurrent with mining activities which contributes to the end land use objectives of the site" (EMLI, 2021). This paper challenges the concept of "end land use" and advocates for a shift in perspective, language, and approach around mine-affected Lands and adjacent Lands. By discounting historic relationships to the Land, and the future value of the Land, to impacted communities and Indigenous rightsholders, the term "end land use" defines an interruption in a relationship with the Land akin to before / after impacts. This neglects opportunities for integrating land stewardship into mining projects, consideration of a ‘community & social domain’ to mine closure and progressive reclamation through maintaining a relationship to the Land. This paper uses a capital ‘L’ when referring to the Land as one way to demonstrate respect to our historic and future relations with the Land. This paper presents an alternative approach to integrating land stewardship and respecting the interconnectedness of the Land throughout the mine lifecycle, going beyond the status quo, to consider the long-term legacy of the Landscape and its socioeconomic and cultural impacts.

description: In crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to support users when dealing with social media content. Considering digital resilience, we propose a web app based on Social Network Analysis (SNA) to provide an overview of potentially misleading vs. non-misleading content on Twitter, which can be explored by users and enable foundational learning. The latter aims at systematically identifying thematic patterns which may be associated with misleading information. Additionally, it entails reflecting on indicators of misleading tweets which are proposed to approach classification of tweets. Paying special attention to non-expert users of social media, we conducted a two-step Think Aloud study for evaluation. While participants valued the opportunity to generate new knowledge and the diversity of the application, qualities such as equality and rapidity may be further improved. However, learning effects outweighed individual costs as all users were able to shift focus onto relevant features, such as hashtags, while readily pointing out content characteristics. Our design artifact connects to learning-oriented interventions regarding the spread of misleading information and tackles information overload by a SNA-based plug-in.

description: Using a moving space curve formalism, geometrical as well as gauge equivalence between a (2+1) dimensional spin equation (M-I equation) and the (2+1) dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) originally discovered by Calogero, discussed then by Zakharov and recently rederived by Strachan, have been estabilished. A compatible set of three linear equations are obtained and integrals of motion are discussed. Through stereographic projection, the M-I equation has been bilinearized and different types of solutions such as line and curved solitons, breaking solitons, induced dromions, and domain wall type solutions are presented. Breaking soliton solutions of (2+1) dimensional NLSE have also been reported. Generalizations of the above spin equation are discussed.

description: An essential step towards the identification of a fermion mass generation mechanism at Planck scale is to analyse massive fermions in a given quantum gravity framework. In this letter the two mass terms entering the Hamiltonian constraint for the Einstein-Majorana system are studied in the loop representation of quantum gravity and fermions. One resembles a bare mass gap because it is not zero for states with zero (fermion) kinetic energy as opposite to the other that is interpreted as `dressing' the mass. The former contribution originates from (at least) triple intersections of the loop states acted on whilst the latter is traced back to every couple of coinciding end points, where fermions sit. Thus, fermion mass terms get encoded in the combinatorics of loop states. At last the possibility is discussed of relating fermion masses to the topology of space.

description: This study aims to investigate the potential improvement of energy efficiency and emission performance for a ground transportation system equipped with connected and automated vehicles (CAV) by means of intelligent and coordinated control design from vehicle powertrain and aftertreatment perspectives. First, a dedicated control algorithm is designed for heavy-duty vehicle exhaust emission aftertreatment system against unknown catalyst aging condition. To reduce the tailpipe NO[subscript x] emissions, urea-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, which utilize ammonia as the reducing agent for deNO[subscript x] reactions, have become indispensable for Diesel engine powertrains in ground vehicles. A closed-loop cost-friendly SCR controller is designed for the implementation purpose. Second, predictive control methods for vehicle powertrain and aftertreatment systems utilizing information induced by road environment perception and connectivity of vehicles are proposed. Simulation results indicate the overall emission performance as well as energy efficiency can be improved with a proper synthesis of preview information and coordinated control design. Third, the impacts of human driver behaviors variation on vehicle fleet energy consumption and travel time are evaluated providing insights on future CAV control design for efficiency improvement. Through a proper integration of these three interconnected aspects, an energy-efficient mobility for future transportation system is envisioned

Negritude (Literary movement)

Miscegenation in literature

description: This dissertation calls into question the critique that has depicted the Francophone literary movement known as Negritude as a sole vehicle of black essentialism. By looking at recently published anthologies, archival documents, and lesser-known texts from 1935 to 1966, I show that in addition to the discourse on a fixed ‘blackness’ engraved in the neologism ‘Negritude,’ there is another set of discourses that forces us to rethink the movement as a philosophy of becoming. In particular, this dissertation stages the year 1948, when Jean-Paul Sartre gave Negritude its fame with the publication of his influential essay “Black Orpheus,” as a pivot for the definition of the movement as well as its reception. Since 1948, most of the critical engagement with Negritude has happened either through a reading of Sartre’s essay or the limited corpus that was available at the time. I thus argue that, by reading a broader range of the poets of Negritude’s literary and cultural production, one gets a sense that their vindication of Blackness is not only an essentialized invocation of a romanticized past, it is also an imagined unity within an evolving postcoloniality.
      This dissertation covers three areas within which this constantly reimagined unity is staged, from the youthful local publications of Aimé Césaire and Léopold Sédar Senghor from 1935 to 1948, to their mature global interactions as statesmen in Dakar, Fort-de-France, Paris and Rome from 1948 to 1966. First, it looks at language and analyzes the relation of the poets to French. While the choice to adopt the idiom of the former colonizer has been criticized by merely every reader of Negritude, I show that they used French as a tool enabling violation, negotiating their relation to the metropole as well as other colonies. Second, it interrogates the often overlooked concept of métissage as common element for colonized subjects. With particular attention to problems of translation, I analyze how the poets used métissage as a political and ethical concept in order to reach to the African diaspora without referring to Europe as the unavoidable mediator. Third, it focuses on the First World Festival of Negro Arts held in Dakar in 1966 as instrument for political practice. By investigating extensive documentation on the Festival’s organization, especially the influential role and presence of the United States, I show that art was used as a political tool to stage postcolonial unity in an otherwise global and competitive diversity.
Rethinking Measurement of Pay Disparity and its Relation to Firm Performance

description: I develop measures of firm-level pay disparity and examine the relation between these measures and firm accounting performance. Using comprehensive compensation data for a large sample of firms in the S&P 1,500, I do not find a statistically significant relation between the ratio of CEO-to-mean employee compensation and accounting performance. I next create empirical models that allow me to separate the components of CEO and employee compensation explained by economic factors from those that are not, and use them to estimate explained and unexplained pay disparity. After validating my estimate of unexplained pay disparity as a proxy for pay fairness by documenting that it is negatively related to measures of employee satisfaction, I find robust evidence of a negative (positive) relation between unexplained (explained) pay disparity and future firm performance. Additional tests show that the negative relation between unexplained disparity and firm performance is driven by firms where both the CEO is overpaid and employees are underpaid, and is more pronounced for firms with weak corporate governance and those where employee turnover is more prevalent and more likely. These results provide support for the predictions of several theories on the relation between pay disparity and firm performance, and offer a roadmap for investors to interpret the CEO-to-median-employee pay ratio that publicly traded firms must disclose beginning in 2018.

description: Quantum constraints of the type Q ψ= 0 can be straightforwardly implemented in cases where Q is a self-adjoint operator for which zero is an eigenvalue. In that case, the physical Hilbert space is obtained by projecting onto the kernel of Q, i.e. H_phys = ker(Q) = ker(Q*). It is, however, nontrivial to identify and project onto H_phys when zero is not in the point spectrum but instead is in the continuous spectrum of Q, because in this case the kernel of Q is empty. Here, we observe that the topology of the underlying Hilbert space can be harmlessly modified in the direction perpendicular to the constraint surface in such a way that Q becomes non-self-adjoint. This procedure then allows us to conveniently obtain H_phys as the proper Hilbert subspace H_phys = ker(Q*), on which one can project as usual. In the simplest case, the necessary change of topology amounts to passing from an L^2 Hilbert space to a Sobolev space.

description: Die effiziente Überführung von Grundlagenerkenntnissen in technische Anwendungen und die industrielle Nutzung derselben ist eine ökonomische Notwendigkeit moderner Industriegesellschaften. In der Chemie wird dies seit über 150 Jahren mit Erfolg praktiziert. Im Gegensatz dazu hat die Biologie in diesem Zeitraum im wesentlichen Erkenntnisse gesammelt, aber eine Umsetzung in technologische Verfahren hat erst zum Ende des auslaufenden Jahrhunderts begonnen. Mit der Biotechnologie hat sich in den letzten 20 Jahren aus der Biologie ein neuer, zukunftsträchtiger Industriezweig entwickelt. Zur Zeit sind die wichtigsten Anwendungsfelder der Biotechnologie Umwelt, Agrar- und Lebensmittelindustrie sowie die Medizin (Medizinische Biotechnologie).

description: In this note we study inclusions of second quantization algebras, namely inclusions of von Neumann algebras on the Fock space of a separable complex Hilbert space H, generated by the Weyl unitaries with test functions in closed, real linear subspaces of H. We show that the class of irreducible inclusions of standard second quantization algebras is non empty, and that they are depth two inclusions, namely the third relative commutant of the Jones' tower is a factor. When the smaller vector space has codimension n into the bigger, we prove that the corresponding inclusion of second quantization algebras is given by a cross product with R^n. This shows in particular that the inlcusions studied in hep-th/9703129, namely the inclusion of the observable algebra corresponding to a bounded interval for the (n+p)-th derivative of the current algebra on the real line into the observable algebra for the same interval and the n-th derivative theory is given by a cross product with R^p. On the contrary, when the codimension is infinite, we show that the inclusion may be non regular (cf. M. Enock, R. Nest, J. Funct. Anal. 137 (1996), 466-543), hence do not correspond to a cross product with a locally compact group.

Providing regulatory oversite in BC mining, introducing the new Technical Compliance Unit (TCU)
Creators: name: Bennett, Kendra
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The Auditor General’s office of British Columbia identified a need for greater compliance verification and inspections in technical disciplines at mine sites in British Columbia. At the time of the Auditor General’s report, technical staff within the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation were tasked with both compliance and permitting responsibilities. To separate regulatory functions and tasks between permitting and compliance activities, the Technical Compliance Unit (TCU) was created. The TCU focuses on compliance associated with mining legislation, regulations and permit conditions in technical disciplines including geotechnical/tailings storage facilities/dam requirements, geoscience, and reclamation. The goals of the TCU are to promote regulatory compliance, conduct inspections at all major mines in the province, address non-compliance, contribute to policies, guidelines, and procedures so that technical inspections and regulatory compliance is applied consistently across the province, and support mines in moving toward successful reclamation and environmental protection. The TCU, under direction of the Chief Inspector of Mines, is ultimately responsible for verifying compliance with the Mines Act, the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in BC (the Code), and with Mines Act permit conditions. To fulfil this responsibility, TCU inspectors conduct field and desktop inspections of mines, manage complaints from communities and individuals that are technical in nature, provide support to mines in applying the act, Code, and permit conditions on the landscape as requested or required, and escalate orders should the need arise. Creation of the TCU provides greater compliance oversight across the province and addressed the “risk of regulatory capture” (Bellringer 2016) raised in the Auditor General’s report. The new division of labour between TCU and permitting means changes in who will be conducting inspections at mines sites, the nature and focus of those inspections and some process changes with respect to oversight of code required reports.

description: We give explicitly N-soliton solutions of a new (2 + 1) dimensional equation, $ϕ_{xt} + ϕ_{xxxz}/4 + ϕ_x ϕ_{xz} + ϕ_{xx} ϕ_z/2 + \partial_x^{-1} ϕ_{zzz}/4 = 0$. This equation is obtained by unifying two directional generalization of the KdV equation, composing the closed ring with the KP equation and Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff equation. We also find the Miura transformation which yields the same ring in the corresponding modified equations.

description: Η μεθοδολογία Lean Six Sigma είναι μία από τις πλέον διαδεδομένες και αποτελεσματικές προσεγγίσεις διοίκησης ποιότητας. Η συνεχής τεχνολογική πρόοδος και η τέταρτη βιομηχανική επανάσταση φέρνουν στο προσκήνιο νέες δυνατότητες που επηρεάζουν με πολλούς διαφορετικούς τρόπους τις αγορές, τις εταιρείες και τους τρόπους που έχουν επιλέξει να διοικούνται και να ανταγωνίζονται μεταξύ τους. Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να διερευνηθεί το πως η υιοθέτηση των τεχνολογιών της Βιομηχανίας 4.0 σε συνδυασμό με την μεθοδολογία συνεχούς βελτίωσης Lean Six Sigma μπορεί να αποτελέσει πηγή ανταγωνιστικού πλεονεκτήματος. Σε κάθε ένα από τα πρώτα τρία κεφάλαια παρουσιάζονται βιβλιογραφικά οι θεματικές του στρατηγικού μάνατζμεντ, της επιχειρηματικής αριστείας και των τεχνολογιών της βιομηχανίας 4.0 αντίστοιχα. Συγκεκριμένα, στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται το υπόδειγμα της διεργασίας του στρατηγικού μάνατζμεντ και παρουσιάζονται οι τύποι των στρατηγικών και τα είδη των ανταγωνιστικών πλεονεκτημάτων. Στο επόμενο κεφάλαιο αναπτύσσονται οι έννοιες της ποιότητας, της επιχειρηματικής αριστείας και των επιχειρηματικών επιδόσεων και γίνεται η σύνδεση τους με την διεργασία του στρατηγικού μάνατζμεντ. Επίσης, παρουσιάζεται η συνδυαστική μεθοδολογία του Lean Six Sigma. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο περιγράφονται οι τεχνολογίες της τέταρτης βιομηχανικής επανάστασης, οι προκλήσεις που φέρνουν και το πως μπορούν να γίνουν το εφαλτήριο για υψηλές επιχειρηματικές επιδόσεις. Τέλος, στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται σύνθεση πληροφοριών από τα προηγούμενα τρία και παρουσιάζεται το πως η μεθοδολογία Lean Six Sigma 4.0 (παραδοσιακή Lean Six Sigma με επαυξημένες δυνατότητες εξαιτίας των τεχνολογιών της βιομηχανίας 4.0) μπορεί να βρει εφαρμογή σε κάθε υποδιεργασία της διεργασίας του στρατηγικού μάνατζμεντ, καθώς και τα πολλαπλασιαστικά οφέλη τα οποία μπορεί να απολαύσει μία εταιρεία από την υιοθέτηση της. Οι προτάσεις εφαρμογής της LSS 4.0 αποτελούν τόσο βιβλιογραφικά ευρήματα, όσο και ιδέες – προτάσεις της συγγραφέως.

description: The dissipative dynamics of a Josephson junction in the Bose-gases is considered within the framework of the model of a tunneling Hamiltonian. The effective action which describes the dynamics of the phase difference across the junction is derived using functional integration method. The dynamic equation obtained for the phase difference across the junction is analyzed for the finite temperatures in the low frequency limit involving the radiation terms. The asymmetric case of the Bose-gases with the different order parameters is calculated as well.
