description: We report new observations of circumgalactic gas from the COS-Dwarfs survey, a systematic investigation of the gaseous halos around 43 low-mass z $\leq$ 0.1 galaxies using background QSOs observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. From the projected 1D and 2D distribution of C IV absorption, we find that C IV absorption is detected out to ~ 0.5 R$_{vir}$ of the host galaxies. The C IV absorption strength falls off radially as a power law and beyond 0.5 R$_{vir}$, no C IV absorption is detected above our sensitivity limit of ~ 50-100 m$Å$. We find a tentative correlation between detected C IV absorption strength and star formation, paralleling the strong correlation seen in highly ionized oxygen for L~L* galaxies by the COS-Halos survey. The data imply a large carbon reservoir in the CGM of these galaxies, corresponding to a minimum carbon mass of $\gtrsim$ 1.2$\times 10^6$ $M_\odot$ out to ~ 110 kpc. This mass is comparable to the carbon mass in the ISM and more than the carbon mass currently in stars of these galaxies. The C IV absorption seen around these sub-L* galaxies can account for almost two-thirds of all $W_r$> 100 m$Å$ C IV absorption detected at low z. Comparing the C IV covering fraction with hydrodynamical simulations, we find that an energy-driven wind model is consistent with the observations whereas a wind model of constant velocity fails to reproduce the CGM or the galaxy properties.

description: We present a finite element discretization of a non-linear diffusion equation used in the field of critical phenomena and, more recently, in the context of Dynamic Density Functional Theory. The discretized equation preserves the structure of the continuum equation. Specifically, it conserves the total number of particles and fulfills an H-theorem as the original partial differential equation. Guided by the Theory of Coarse-Graining, we discuss the inclusion of thermal fluctuations in the non-linear diffusion equation. This sheds light on the meaning of such a fluctuating hydrodynamics equation and to the limitations of the approximations involved. The methodology proposed for the introduction of thermal fluctuations in finite element methods is general and valid for both regular and irregular grids in arbitrary dimensions. We focus here on simulations of the Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional using both regular and irregular 1D grids. Convergence of the numerical results is obtained for the static and dynamic structure factors as the resolution of the grid is increased.

description: Energy harvesting based on tethered kites benefits from exploiting higher wind speeds at higher altitudes. The setup considered in this paper is based on a pumping cycle. It generates energy by winching out at high tether forces, driving an electrical generator while flying crosswind. Then it winches in at a stationary neutral position, thus leaving a net amount of generated energy. The focus of this paper is put on the flight control design, which implements an accurate direction control towards target points and allows for a flight with an eight-down pattern. An extended overview on the control system approach, as well as details of each element of the flight controller, are presented. The control architecture is motivated by a simple, yet comprehensive model for the kite dynamics. In addition, winch strategies based on an optimization scheme are presented. In order to demonstrate the real world functionality of the presented algorithms, flight data from a fully automated pumping-cycle operation of a small-scale prototype are given. The setup is based on a 30m$^2$ kite linked to a ground-based 50kW electrical motor/generator by a single line.

title: Adaptation im digitalen Bereich
Creators: name: Keller, Pascal
Year: 2021

description: Regelmäßige Pausen sind ein integraler Part, um langfristig konzentriert und fehlerfrei zu arbeiten. Diese werden allerdings zunehmend auch vor und mit digitalen Medien verbracht. Das kann potenziell die erholsamen Wirkungen der Pausen gefährden. Vor allem soziale Medien wie z.B. Facebook und Instagram setzen vielfältige Mechanismen ein, die versuchen die Aufmerksamkeit so lange wie möglich zu binden. Auch werden digitale Ablenkungen immer häufiger und neue, alternative und attraktivere Ziele sind digital schnell zu finden. Dies könnte negative Auswirkungen auf die Zielsetzung und generell Ziele haben. Daher ist eine wichtige Frage zu untersuchen, welchen Einfluss digitale Pausen auf kurzfristige Ziele haben. Mithilfe der Goal Shielding Theorie wurde dieser Einfluss untersucht. Beim Goal Shielding werden alternative Ziele unterdrückt, die in Konkurrenz zum ursprünglichen Ziel stehen. Für die experimentelle Überprüfung wurde ein bestehendes Experiment adaptiert. Zwei Gruppen sollten zuerst entweder ein wichtiges Ziel oder ein nicht so wichtiges Ziel nennen und darauffolgend alternative weitere Ziele aufzählen. Nachfolgend sollten sie am erstgenannten Ziel arbeiten. Danach wurden beide Gruppen erneut in zwei Gruppen aufgeteilt. Sie sollten entweder eine digitale oder analoge Pause abhalten und abschließend erneut alternative Ziele aufzählen. Erwartet wurde, dass nach der digitalen Pause mehr Ziele in der Gruppe wichtiges Ziel aufgezählt wurden, da verstärkt digital abgelenkt wurde und somit das Goal Shielding in seiner Wirksamkeit eingeschränkt wurde. Entgegen der Erwartung wurde keine der Hypothesen bestätigt und der einzige gefundene signifikante Effekt war der Messwiederholungsfaktor, ob vor oder nach der Pause gemessen wurde.

description: Circumplex models arrange personality or mood variables around a circle such that the relative locations of these variables reflect their correlations. Although circumplex models were originally developed for continuous variables, their applications often involve ordinal variables. To accommodate ordinal variables, we propose estimating Browne’s circumplex correlation structure with polychoric correlations instead of Pearson correlations. We consider ordinary least squares estimation due to its computational robustness with polychoric correlation matrices. We illustrate the newly developed method with an empirical study that involves 18 binary variables and 12,108 participants. We also conduct a simulation study to explore its statistical property and compare it with maximum likelihood estimation with polychoric correlations, ordinary least squares estimation with Pearson correlations, and maximum likelihood estimation with Pearson correlations. The new method provides essentially unbiased point estimates and more satisfactory confidence intervals than other methods.

description: The canonical recursive Dyson--Schwinger equations for the three-gluon and ghost-gluon vertices are solved numerically. The employed truncation includes several previously neglected diagrams and includes back-coupling effects. We find an infrared finite ghost-gluon vertex and an infrared diverging three-gluon vertex. We also compare our results with those obtained in previous calculations, where bare vertices were used in the loop diagrams.

description: Mechanisms of behavior change are the processes through which interventions are hypothesized to cause changes in outcomes. Latent growth curve mediation models (LGCMM) are recommended for investigating the mechanisms of behavior change because LGCMM models establish temporal precedence of change from the mediator to the outcome variable. The Correlated Augmented Mediation Sensitivity Analyses (CAMSA) App implements sensitivity analysis for LGCMM models to evaluate if a mediating path (mechanism) is robust to potential confounding variables. The CAMSA approach is described and applied to simulated data, and data from a research study exploring a mechanism of change in the treatment of substance use disorder.

description: We present an improved and expanded simply parameterized phenomenological model of the broad line region (BLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) for modeling reverberation mapping data. By modeling reverberation mapping data directly, we can constrain the geometry and dynamics of the BLR and measure the black hole mass without relying on the normalization factor needed in the traditional analysis. For realistic simulated reverberation mapping datasets of high-quality, we can recover the black hole mass to $0.05-0.25$ dex uncertainty and distinguish between dynamics dominated by elliptical orbits and inflowing gas. While direct modeling of the integrated emission line light curve allows for measurement of the mean time lag, other details of the geometry of the BLR are better constrained by the full spectroscopic dataset of emission line profiles. We use this improved model of the BLR to explore possible sources of uncertainty in measurements of the time lag using cross-correlation function (CCF) analysis and in measurements of the black hole mass using the virial product. Sampling the range of geometries and dynamics in our model of the BLR suggests that the theoretical uncertainty in black hole masses measured using the virial product is on the order of 0.25 dex. These results support the use of the CCF to measure time lags and the virial product to measure black hole masses when direct modeling techniques cannot be applied, provided the uncertainties associated with the interpretation of the results are taken into account.

description: We solve the Skorokhod embedding problem for a class of Gaussian processes including Brownian motion with non-linear drift. Our approach relies on solving an associated strongly coupled system of Forward Backward Stochastic Differential Equation (FBSDE), and investigating the regularity of the obtained solution. For this purpose we extend the existence, uniqueness and regularity theory of so called decoupling fields for Markovian FBSDE to a setting in which the coefficients are only locally Lipschitz continuous.

description: We consider $n+1$ dimensional smooth Riemannian and Lorentzian spaces satisfying Einstein's equations. The base manifold is assumed to be smoothly foliated by a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces. In both cases---likewise it is usually done in the Lorentzian case---Einstein's equations may be split into `Hamiltonian' and `momentum' constraints and a `reduced' set of field equations. It is shown that regardless whether the primary space is Riemannian or Lorentzian whenever the foliating hypersurfaces are Riemannian the `Hamiltonian' and `momentum' type expressions are subject to a subsidiary first order symmetric hyperbolic system. Since this subsidiary system is linear and homogeneous in the `Hamiltonian' and `momentum' type expressions the hyperbolicity of the system implies that in both cases the solutions to the `reduced' set of field equations are also solutions to the full set of equations provided that the constraints hold on one of the hypersurfaces foliating the base manifold.

description: We study non-Gaussian out-of-equilibrium current fluctuations in a mesoscopic NSN circuit at the point of a superconducting phase transition. The setup consists of a voltage-biased thin film nanobridge superconductor (S) connected to two normal-metal (N) leads by tunnel junctions. We find that above a critical temperature fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter associated with the preformed Cooper pairs mediate inelastic electron scattering that promotes strong current fluctuations. Though the conductance is suppressed due to the depletion of the quasiparticle density of states, higher cumulants of current fluctuations are parametrically enhanced. We identify experimentally relevant transport regime where excess current noise may reach or even exceed the level of the thermal noise.

description: Motivated by recent findings in the field of consumer science, this paper evaluates the causal effect of debit cards on household consumption using population-based data from the Italy Survey on Household Income and Wealth (SHIW). Within the Rubin Causal Model, we focus on the estimand of population average treatment effect for the treated (PATT). We consider three existing estimators, based on regression, mixed matching and regression, propensity score weighting, and propose a new doubly-robust estimator. Semiparametric specification based on power series for the potential outcomes and the propensity score is adopted. Cross-validation is used to select the order of the power series. We conduct a simulation study to compare the performance of the estimators. The key assumptions, overlap and unconfoundedness, are systematically assessed and validated in the application. Our empirical results suggest statistically significant positive effects of debit cards on the monthly household spending in Italy.

description: We present results for the equation of state in (2+1)-flavor QCD using the highly improved staggered quark action and lattices with temporal extent $N_τ=6,~8,~10$, and $12$. We show that these data can be reliably extrapolated to the continuum limit and obtain a number of thermodynamic quantities and the speed of sound in the temperature range $(130-400)$ MeV. We compare our results with previous calculations, and provide an analytic parameterization of the pressure, from which other thermodynamic quantities can be calculated, for use in phenomenology. We show that the energy density in the crossover region, $145~ {\rm MeV} \leq T \leq 163$ MeV, defined by the chiral transition, is $ε_c=(0.18-0.5)~{\rm GeV}/{\rm fm}^3$, $i.e.$, $(1.2-3.1)\ ε_{\rm nuclear}$. At high temperatures, we compare our results with resummed and dimensionally reduced perturbation theory calculations. As a byproduct of our analyses, we obtain the values of the scale parameters $r_0$ from the static quark potential and $w_0$ from the gradient flow.

description: This paper studies the convergence of the adaptively iterative thresholding (AIT) algorithm for compressed sensing. We first introduce a generalized restricted isometry property (gRIP). Then we prove that the AIT algorithm converges to the original sparse solution at a linear rate under a certain gRIP condition in the noise free case. While in the noisy case, its convergence rate is also linear until attaining a certain error bound. Moreover, as by-products, we also provide some sufficient conditions for the convergence of the AIT algorithm based on the two well-known properties, i.e., the coherence property and the restricted isometry property (RIP), respectively. It should be pointed out that such two properties are special cases of gRIP. The solid improvements on the theoretical results are demonstrated and compared with the known results. Finally, we provide a series of simulations to verify the correctness of the theoretical assertions as well as the effectiveness of the AIT algorithm.

description: Abstract
Turtles are protected reptiles because their population in the ecosystem continues to decline. The hunting of turtles for ceremonial and commercial purposes generates controversy among the community, particularly among foreign communities, regarding the use of turtles in Bali. The practice of utilizing turtles is popular in South Bali. Locals hold that turtles are revered as sacred creatures and refer to them as Bhadawang. In addition to traditional ceremonies, people consume and sell turtles. To protect the declining turtle population, it is necessary to establish conservation areas. TCEC (Turtle Conservation and Education Center) was established to preserve turtles and their natural habitat and to educate the Serangan people of Bali. TCEC collaborates with BKSDA Bali, BPSPL, and PHDI to provide education, assist with conservation efforts, and aid in maintenance. The use of turtles in this ceremony is, of course, a social issue with pros and cons. Six people agree with the use of turtles for ceremonies because their use is protected by law and the existence of TCEC as a conservation institution, while two people disagree because turtle conservation must be prioritized. The community's participation in protecting turtles in Serangan Village demonstrates how well-liked TCEC is there. In addition, it has a positive effect on the local economy through renting homestays, selling cuisine near the TCEC, and selling souvenirs.

description: Non-linear sigma models with scalar fields taking values on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n$ complex manifolds are addressed. In the simplest $n=1$ case, where the target manifold is the $\mathbb{S}^2$ sphere, we describe the scalar fields by means of stereographic maps. In this case when the $\mathbb{U}(1)$ symmetry is gauged and Maxwell and mass terms are allowed, the model accommodates stable self-dual vortices of two kinds with different energies per unit length and where the Higgs field winds at the cores around the two opposite poles of the sphere. Allowing for dielectric functions in the magnetic field, similar and richer self-dual vortices of different species in the south and north charts can be found by slightly modifying the potential. Two different situations are envisaged: either the vacuum orbit lies on a parallel in the sphere, or one pole and the same parallel form the vacuum orbit. Besides the self-dual vortices of two species, there exist BPS domain walls in the second case. Replacing the Maxwell contribution of the gauge field to the action by the second Chern-Simons secondary class, only possible in $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski space-time, new BPS topological defects of two species appear. Namely, both BPS vortices and domain ribbons in the south and the north charts exist because the vacuum orbit consits of the two poles and one parallel. Formulation of the gauged $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$ model in a Reference chart shows a self-dual structure such that BPS semi-local vortices exist. The transition functions to the second or third charts break the $\mathbb{U}(1)\times\mathbb{S}\mathbb{U}(2)$ semi-local symmetry, but there is still room for standard self-dual vortices of the second species. The same structures encompassing $N$ complex scalar fields are easily generalized to gauged $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^N$ models.

description: Conjecturing formulas and other symbolic relations occurs frequently in number theory and combinatorics. If we could automate conjecturing, we could benefit not only from speeding up, but also from finding conjectures previously out of our grasp. Grammatical evolution, a genetic programming technique, can be used for automated conjecturing in mathematics. Concretely, this work describes how one can interpret the Frobenius problem as a symbolic regression problem, and then apply grammatical evolution to it. In this manner, a few formulas for Frobenius numbers of specific quadruples were found automatically. The sketch of the proof for one conjectured formula, using lattice point enumeration method, is provided as well. Same method can easily be used on other problems to speed up and enhance the research process.

description: We identify the mechanism behind the existence of intensity induced chimera states in globally coupled oscillators. We find that the effect of intensity in the system is to cause multistability by increasing the number of fixed points. This in turn increases the number of multistable attractors and we find that their stability is determined by the strength of coupling . This causes the coexistence of different collective states in the system depending upon the initial state. We demonstrate that intensity induced chimera is generic to both periodic and chaotic systems. We have discussed possible applications of our results to real world systems like the brain and spin torque nano oscillators.

title: Eine Lehrwerkanalyse mit Fokus auf Leseverstehen im DaF-Unterricht in Bosnien-Herzegowina
Creators: name: Denic, Amela
Year: 2021

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht mittels Dokumentenanalyse regionale Lehrwerke für Deutsch als zweite Fremdsprache (L2) in Bosnien-Herzegowina und gibt einen Überblick über die Darstellung der Fertigkeit Leseverstehen sowie der Texte bzw. Textsorten. Dabei wurden die Prinzipien, die ein Lehrwerk berücksichtigen sollte, wie Aktualität, Authentizität und Textsortenvielfalt, um nur einige zu nennen, untersucht. Als Basis für die Analyse der Lehrwerke wurde der Stockholmer Kriterienkatalog (Krumm 1987) und eine eigenerstellte Kriterienliste, die detailliert auf die Fragen der Fertigkeit Leseverstehen und der Texte bzw. Textsorten eingeht, und die sich aus den Kriterienkatalogen von Funk (2004), Jenkins (1996), Neuner (1994) sowie den 34 Maximen des Beirats Deutsch als Fremdsprache des Goethe-Instituts speisen, herangezogen. Die Erkenntnisse der Analyse führen zu ernüchternden Ergebnissen, denn vor allem die Aspekte Aktualität, Authentizität, Abwechslung der Fertigkeiten, Textsortenvielfalt u.a.m. finden in den analysierten Lehrwerken kaum Beachtung. Die Verfasser:in hofft durch die Analyse einen Beitrag zur regionalen Lehrwerkentwicklung außerhalb des deutschsprachigen Raums zu leisten, die die Prinzipien für den Fremdsprachenunterricht mehr berücksichtigt.

description: The spatial configuration of urban amenities and the streets connecting them collectively provide the structural backbone of a city, influencing its accessibility, vitality and ultimately the well-being of its residents. Most accessibility measures focus on the proximity of amenities in space or along transportation networks, resulting in metrics largely determined by urban density alone. These measures are unable to gauge how efficiently street networks can navigate between amenities, since they neglect the circuity component of accessibility. Existing measures also often require ad hoc modelling choices, making them less flexible for different applications and difficult to apply in cross-sectional analyses. Here, we develop a simple, principled and flexible measure to characterize the circuity of accessibility among heterogeneous amenities in a city, which we call the pairwise circuity (PC). The PC quantifies the excess travel distance incurred when using the street network to route between a pair of amenity types, summarizing both spatial and topological correlations among amenities. Measures developed using our framework exhibit significant statistical associations with a variety of urban prosperity and accessibility indicators when compared with an appropriate null model, and we find a clear separation in the PC values of cities according to development level and geographical region.

description: Following the national goal of crash reduction, the state of Louisiana set an ambitious goal of ‘Destination Zero Deaths’ (DZD), aiming to halve the number of fatalities and severe injuries by 2030. The goal of this study is to detect and quantify fatal and severe injury (FSI) trends in several DZD focus areas, including young drivers, alcohol, intersection, single vehicle, inattentive and distracted driving, and pedestrian. The database contains monthly FSI observations from two different periods: pre-DZD (1999-2008) and post-DZD (2009-2018). Methods employed in this investigation include Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA) and Mann-Kendall (MK) statistical significance test. The analysis reveals several significant results: (a) trend of FSI involving young drivers followed a decreasing pattern for both pre-DZD and post-DZD periods, (b) alcohol involved FSI trend followed two opposite types of a pattern (decreasing trend for the pre-DZD period while increasing trend for the post-DZD), (c) decreasing trend was observed for intersection related FSI during the pre-DZD period, (d) single vehicle involved FSI trend followed an increasing pattern for both pre-DZD and post-DZD periods, (e) pedestrian-involved FSI trend followed increasing pattern during the post-DZD period. The findings of the analysis can assist safety professionals in identifying key safety trends and prioritizing associated safety projects. Additionally, the concept of using ITA and MK tests to identify trends can be implemented as a decision-support tool within the context of systems engineering.

description: We have prepared two ultracold fermionic atoms in an isolated double-well potential and obtained full control over the quantum state of this system. In particular, we can independently control the interaction strength between the particles, their tunneling rate between the wells and the tilt of the potential. By introducing repulsive (attractive) interparticle interactions we have realized the two-particle analog of a Mott-insulating (charge-density-wave) state. We have also spectroscopically observed how second-order tunneling affects the energy of the system. This work realizes the first step of a bottom-up approach to deterministically create a single-site addressable realization of a ground-state Fermi-Hubbard system.

description: We present a joint estimate of the stellar/dark matter mass fraction in lens galaxies and the average size of the accretion disk of lensed quasars from microlensing measurements of 27 quasar image pairs seen through 19 lens galaxies. The Bayesian estimate for the fraction of the surface mass density in the form of stars is $α=0.21\pm0.14$ near the Einstein radius of the lenses ($\sim 1 - 2$ effective radii). The estimate for the average accretion disk size is $R_{1/2}=7.9^{+3.8}_{-2.6}\sqrt{M/0.3M_\sun}$ light days. The fraction of mass in stars at these radii is significantly larger than previous estimates from microlensing studies assuming quasars were point-like. The corresponding local dark matter fraction of 79\% is in good agreement with other estimates based on strong lensing or kinematics. The size of the accretion disk inferred in the present study is slightly larger than previous estimates.
