Subjects: subject: Waschbetonprobekörpern

description: Diese Diplomarbeit ist Teil von einem großen Forschungsprojekt, dessen Ziel die Entwicklung eines Laborverfahrens für langfristige Prognose des Griffigkeitsverhaltens von Straßenoberflächen ist. Das Institut für Verkehrswissenschaften an der TU-Wien verfügt über eine Prüfanlage nach Wehner/ Schulze, die einerseits in der Lage ist, die Griffigkeit von Bohrkernen aus der Straße oder im Labor hergestellter Oberflächen zu prüfen und anderseits die Veränderung der Griffigkeit in Abhängigkeit von definierten Belastungszyklen (Polieren) zu simulieren. Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Bestimmung der Griffigkeit an Waschbetonoberflächen. Die Prüfungen erfolgen im Labor mit der Prüfanlage nach Wehner/Schulze. Als Proben dienen sowohl im Labor hergestellte Probekörper, als auch aus der Fahrbahn entnommene Bohrkerne. Im Labor hergestellte Probekörper werden mit einer Ausbürstvorrichtung ausgebürstet. Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit werden verschiedene Arten des Ausbürsten von Waschbetonoberflächen verglichen. Mit der Prüfung der Griffigkeitsentwicklung an Fahrbahnoberflächen lassen sich im Laborversuch Erkenntnisse zu einem Wert für die Griffigkeit zum Ende der Gebrauchsdauer gewinnen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Diplomarbeit tragen zur Entwicklung eines Laborverfahrens zur realitätsnahen Griffigkeitsprognose von Wachbetonoberflächen bei.
description: This master thesis is part of a comprehensive research project with the aim to develop a laboratory method for long- term prediction of the behavior of surfaces.The Institute of Transportation at the Technical University Vienna has the test equipment called Wehner/Schulze testing machine (W/S), which on one hand is able to check the friction of real and in the laboratory manufactured surfaces and on other hand to simulate the change in the friction depending on defined load cycles (polishing and roughening).This master thesis deals with the determination of the friction of washed concrete surfaces.The tests are performed with the test equipment Wehner/Schulze. Boths laboratory prepared specimens, as well as specimens removed from the roadway are used as samples. Laboratory prepared specimens are then conditioned with special brushed equipment. In this master thesis are compared various types of brushing of surfaces. By examining the evolation of pavement friction on road surfaces can be in a laboratory test findings a value for the friction to the end of road life. The results of this master thesis contribute to the development of a laboratory method for realistic prediction of friction of washed concrete surfaces.

description: This study assesses the intervention against avian influenza in Nigeria. It applied a simple compartmental model to define endemic and burn-out scenarios for the risk of spread of HPAI in Nigeria. It followed with the derivation of low and high mortality risks associated to each scenario. The estimated risk parameters were subsequently used to stochastically simulate the trajectory of the disease, had no intervention been carried out. Overall, the intervention costs US$ 41 million, which was yearly disbursed in various amounts over the 2006-2010 period. The key output variables (incremental net benefit, disease cost, and benefit cost ratio) were estimated for each randomly drawn risk parameter. With a 12% annual discount rate, the results show that the intervention was economically justified under the endemic scenario with high mortality risk. On average, incremental benefit under this scenario amounted to US$ 63.7 million, incremental net benefit to US$27.2 million, and benefit cost ratio estimated to 1.75.
Dephasing representation: Employing the shadowing theorem to calculate quantum correlation functions
Creators: name: Vanicek, Jiri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, various classical systems differing only on the scale smaller than Planck's cell correspond to the same quantum system. This fact is used to find a unique semiclassical representation without the Van Vleck determinant, applicable to a large class of correlation functions expressible as quantum fidelity. As in the Feynman path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, all contributing trajectories have the same amplitude: that is why it is denoted the ``dephasing representation.'' By relating the present approach to the problem of existence of true trajectories near numerically-computed chaotic trajectories, the approximation is made rigorous for any system in which the shadowing theorem holds. Numerical implementation only requires computing actions along the unperturbed trajectories and not finding the shadowing trajectories. While semiclassical linear-response theory was used before in quasi-integrable and chaotic systems, here its validity is justified in the most generic, mixed systems. Dephasing representation appears to be a rare practical method to calculate quantum correlation functions in nonuniversal regimes in many-dimensional systems where exact quantum calculations are impossible.

Thalamic-cortical-striatal circuitry subserving strategy set-shifting in the rat
Creators: name: Block, Annie Eugenie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The mediodorsal nuclei of thalamus (MD), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) core form an interconnected network that may work together to subserve some forms of behavioral flexibility. The present experiments investigated the functional relationships between these regions during performance of a cross-maze based set-shifting task. In Experiment 1, transient inactivation of the MD with bilateral infusion of bupivacaine impaired set-shifting but not discrimination learning during performance of a response to visual-cue as well as on a cue to response set-shift. Similar to inactivation of the PFC, MD inactivation induced a perseverative deficit, suggesting the MD works with the PFC to disengage from a previously relevant strategy. In Experiment 2, asymmetrical inactivations of the MD on one side of the brain and PFC on the other caused a perseverative deficit in acquisition of a visual-cue discrimination on a set shift, as did asymmetrical inactivation of the PFC and the contralateral NAc core. Inactivation of the MD on one side of the brain and the NAc core contralaterally resulted in an increase in never-reinforced errors, suggesting this pathway is important for eliminating inappropriate strategies during set-shifting. These data indicate that set-shifting is mediated by a distributed neural circuit, with separate neural pathways contributing dissociable components to this type of behavioral flexibility.

description: Mycotoxins contamination in food is a serious source of health risks. This paper evaluates the Italian consumers’ perception of the mycotoxins’ risk through their willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical bottle of milk obtained by cows fed with, inter alia, maize certified for the “good practices” (GPs) that reduce this risk. Therefore, a web-based stated choice experiment (SCE) has been carried out involving a representative sample of 973 Italian consumers and the WTP has been measured using the panel data version of a Random Parameters Logit (RPL) model. Results show that Italian consumers are willing to pay a 29% average price premium for “reduced-mycotoxins” milk. This premium increases for consumers between 44 and 54 years of age, who are students, have completed tertiary education, are economically well-off and shop fairly infrequently.

description: We have studied the effect of damage induced by 2-MeV alpha particles on the critical temperature, Tc, and resistivity of MgB2 thin films. This technique allows defects to be controllably introduced into MgB2 in small successive steps. Tc decreases linearly as the intragrain resistivity at 40 K increases, while the intergrain connectivity is not changed. Tc is ultimately reduced to less than 7 K and we see no evidence for a saturation of Tc at about 20 K, contrary to the predictions of the Tc of MgB2 in the dirty limit of interband scattering.

description: A justification of using the good governance rule in the policy of less favoured areas (LFAs) development was presented. Using typology of farming systems for increasing efficiency of public governance in the LFAs development was discussed. This approach allows a flexible implementation of different measures applied in these very diverse areas. Then, public measures and instruments could be more effectively utilized and natural, social and economic problems occurring in LFAs can be solved in a shorter period of time. Also, the European paradigm of rural areas sustainable development involving multifunctionality and diversification of agriculture can be implemented more effectively. / Synopsis. W pracy przedstawiono uzasadnienie stosowania zasad dobrego rządzenia w polityce rozwoju obszarów wiejskich o niekorzystnych warunkach gospodarowania w rolnictwie (ONW). W celu usprawnienia i poprawy skuteczności zarządzania rozwojem obszarów ONW, które są postrzegane jako "wymagające" w sferze rozpoznawania i planowania rozwoju, zaproponowano wykorzystanie typologii systemów gospodarowania w rolnictwie. Takie podejście do zarządzania rozwojem ONW pozwala na elastyczne stosowanie i bardziej efektywne wykorzystanie instrumentów wsparcia kierowanych na te tereny. To może przyczynić się do możliwie skutecznego rozwiązywania zróżnicowanych problemów rozwojowych na ONW, jak również do wdrażania powszechnie akceptowanego europejskiego podejścia do rozwoju wsi i rolnictwa, jakim jest paradygmat zrównoważonego i wielofunkcyjnego rozwoju.

When predicted theoretically, this phenomenon was dubbed "quantum nonlocality without entanglement." We characterize the performance of the nonlocal, or joint, measurement with a payoff function, for which we measure 0.72(2), compared with the maximum locally achievable value of 2/3 and the overall optimal value of 0.75.

description: In recent years, visual sensors have been quickly improving, notably targeting richer acquisitions of the light present in a visual scene. In this context, the so-called lenslet light field (LLF) cameras are able to go beyond the conventional 2D visual acquisition models, by enriching the visual representation with directional light measures for each pixel position. LLF imaging is associated to large amounts of data, thus critically demanding efficient coding solutions in order applications involving transmission and storage may be deployed. For this reason, considerable research efforts have been invested in recent years in developing increasingly efficient LLF imaging coding (LLFIC) solutions. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to review and evaluate some of the most relevant LLFIC solutions in the literature, guided by a novel classification taxonomy, which allows better organizing this field. In this way, more solid conclusions can be drawn about the current LLFIC status quo, thus allowing to better drive future research and standardization developments in this technical area.

The politics of fit : the genesis of candidacy in a suburban municipality
Creators: name: Peterson, Sharon Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In a democratic society, there is an assumption that any individual with the will and the means can become a candidate in an election, especially at the local level of governance. However, in a municipal election, those candidates that have the means or access to means (financial support and volunteers) are usually those endorsed by a civic party. Party executives and municipal politicians actively seek potential candidates who "fit." The research into what the political elite in the municipality of Delta mean by fit indicates that it is a gloss to naturalize a process by which the political elite perpetuates their ideology by carefully choosing their candidates. The politics of fit, therefore, is a phrase coined to describe the recruitment strategies employed to give these potential candidates a higher community profile and while potentially limiting political access by those who do not "fit."
Coherent state LOQC gates using simplified diagonal superposition resource states

description: In this paper we explore the possibility of fundamental tests for coherent state optical quantum computing gates [T. C. Ralph, et. al, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{68}, 042319 (2003)] using sophisticated but not unrealistic quantum states. The major resource required in these gates are state diagonal to the basis states. We use the recent observation that a squeezed single photon state ($\hat{S}(r) \ket{1}$) approximates well an odd superposition of coherent states ($\ketα - \ket{-α}$) to address the diagonal resource problem. The approximation only holds for relatively small $α$ and hence these gates cannot be used in a scaleable scheme. We explore the effects on fidelities and probabilities in teleportation and a rotated Hadamard gate.

description: Recently, the zero-pairing limit of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) mean-field theory was studied in detail in arXiv:2006.02871. It was shown that such a limit is always well-defined for any particle number A, but the resulting many-body description differs qualitatively depending on whether the system is of closed-(sub)shell or open-(sub)shell nature. Here, we extend the discussion to the more general framework of Finite-Temperature HFB (FTHFB) which deals with statistical density operators, instead of pure many-body states. We scrutinize in detail the zero-temperature and zero-pairing limits of such a description, and in particular the combination of both limits. For closed-shell systems, we find that the FTHFB formulism reduces to the (zero-temperature) Hartree-Fock formulism, i.e. we recover the textbook solution. For open-shell systems, however, the resulting description depends on the order in which both limits are taken: if the zero-temperature limit is performed first, the FTHFB density operator demotes to a pure state which is a linear combination of a finite number of Slater determinants, i.e. the case of arXiv:2006.02871. If the zero-pairing limit is performed first, the FTHFB density operator remains a mixture of a finite number of Slater determinants with non-zero entropy, even as the temperature vanishes. These analytical findings are illustrated numerically for a series of Oxygen isotopes.

Uncovering the orbital dynamics of stars hidden inside their powerful winds: application to $η$ Carinae and RMC 140

description: Determining accurate orbits of binary stars with powerful winds is challenging. The dense outflows increase the effective photospheric radius, precluding direct observation of the Keplerian motion; instead the observables are broad lines emitted over large radii in the stellar wind. Our analysis reveals strong, systematic discrepancies between the radial velocities extracted from different spectral lines: the more extended a line's emission region, the greater the departure from the true orbital motion. To overcome these challenges, we formulate a novel semi-analytical model which encapsulates both the star's orbital motion and the propagation of the wind. The model encodes the integrated velocity field of the out-flowing gas in terms of a convolution of past motion due to the finite flow speed of the wind. We test this model on two binary systems. (1), for the extreme case $η$ Carinae, in which the effects are most prominent, we are able to fit the model to 10 Balmer lines from H-alpha to H-kappa concurrently with a single set of orbital parameters: time of periastron $T_{0}=2454848$ (JD), eccentricity $e=0.91$, semi-amplitude $k=69$ km/s and longitude of periastron $ω=241^\circ$. (2) for a more typical case, the Wolf-Rayet star in RMC 140, we demonstrate that for commonly used lines, such as He II and N III/IV/V, we expect deviations between the Keplerian orbit and the predicted radial velocities. Our study indicates that corrective modelling, such as presented here, is necessary in order to identify a consistent set of orbital parameters, independent of the emission line used, especially for future high accuracy work.

We find that maximal entanglement is not strictly necessary to achieve quantum advantage over the classical benchmark of a coherent-state transmitter, in both settings of symmetric and asymmetric hypothesis testing. While performing this quantum-classical comparison, we also investigate a suitable regime of parameters for potential short-range radar (or scanner) applications.

description: The education of farmers having alternative income sources was investigated. Farms run by farmers having the highest education were the most effective. Moreover, the largest farm area was found in these farms. The lowest economic efficiency was achieved by farms run by farmers having primary education. The survey was carried out in 39 farms with ostrich, fallow deers and goats’ production from Warmia and Mazury and Podlasie voivodeships. The survey concerned the economic situation of farms in 2008. / Synopsis. W pracy badano wykształcenie właścicieli gospodarstw posiadających alternatywne źródła dochodów. Gospodarstwa prowadzone przez rolników z wykształceniem wyższym były najbardziej efektywne. Ponadto w gospodarstwach tych odnotowano największą powierzchnię użytków rolnych. Badania przeprowadzono w 39 gospodarstwach zajmujących się chowem strusi, danieli i kóz z terenu województwa warmińsko-mazurskiego. Najniższą efektywność ekonomiczną osiągnęły gospodarstwa prowadzone przez rolników posiadających wykształcenie podstawowe. Badania dotyczyły sytuacji ekonomicznej gospodarstw w roku 2008.

description: We present theory and experiments demonstrating the existence of invariant manifolds that impede the motion of microswimmers in two-dimensional fluid flows. One-way barriers are apparent in a hyperbolic fluid flow that block the swimming of both smooth-swimming and run-and-tumble \emph{Bacillus subtilis} bacteria. We identify key phase-space structures, called swimming invariant manifolds (SwIMs), that serve as separatrices between different regions of long-time swimmer behavior. When projected into $xy$-space, the edges of the SwIMs act as one-way barriers, consistent with the experiments.

description: The aim of this article is to analyze the environmental conditions of organic farming in Poland with respect to its financial support in the agri-environmental programme. A comparative analysis was conducted using the statistical data from the State Statistical Office and GIJHARS as well as those from the Agency for Agriculture Restructuring and Modernisation. The analyses showed that the organic farming development depended on financial support. It is necessary to diversify the financial support system because of the aim which we want to achieve, in particular the environmental protection or the organic food production. / Synopsis. Celem pracy jest analiza uwarunkowań środowiskowych rozwoju rolnictwa ekologicznego w Polsce w aspekcie wsparcia tego systemu gospodarowania w ramach programu rolnośrodowiskowego. W analizach wykorzystano dane GUS, dane GIJHARS oraz dane ARiMR. Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że rozwój rolnictwa ekologicznego jest przede wszystkim uzależniony od istniejących systemów wsparcia finansowego. Istnieje zatem potrzeba zróżnicowania systemów wsparcia finansowego w zależności od celu, który chcemy osiągnąć, w szczególności takich, jak ochrona walorów środowiskowych lub produkcja żywności ekologicznej.

description: We aim at defining homogeneous selection criteria of small galaxy systems in order to build catalogues suitable to compare main properties of pairs, triplets, and groups with four or more members. To this end we use spectroscopic and photometric SDSS data to identify systems with a low number of members. We study global properties of these systems and the properties of their member galaxies finding that galaxies in groups are systematically redder and with lower star formation activity indicators than galaxies in pairs which have a higher fraction of star forming galaxies. Triplet galaxies present intermediate trends between pairs and groups. We also find an enhancement of star formation activity for galaxies in small systems with companions closer than 100kpc, irrespective the number of members. We have tested these analysis on SDSS mock catalogues derived from the Millennium simulation, finding as conservative thresholds 76% completeness and a contamination of 23% in small galaxy systems, when considering an extreme case of incompleteness due to fiber collisions. Nevertheless, we also found that the results obtained are not likely affected by projection effects. Our studies suggest that an extra galaxy in a system modify the properties of the member galaxies. In pairs, galaxy-galaxy interactions increases gas density and trigger starbursts. However, repeated interactions in triplets and groups can generate gas stripping, turbulence and shocks quenching the star formation in these systems.
Multigrid iterative algorithm using pseudo-compressibility for three-dimensional mantle convection with strongly variable viscosity

description: A numerical algorithm for solving mantle convection problems with strongly variable viscosity is presented. Equations for conservation of mass and momentum for highly viscous and incompressible fluids are solved iteratively by a multigrid method in combination with pseudo-compressibility and local time stepping techniques. This algorithm is suitable for large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations, because (i) memory storage for any additional matrix is not required and (ii) vectorization and parallelization are straightforward. The present algorithm has been incorporated into a mantle convection simulation program based on the finite-volume discretization in a three-dimensional rectangular domain. Benchmark comparisons with previous two- and three-dimensional calculations including the temperature- and/or depth-dependent viscosity revealed that accurate results are successfully reproduced even for the cases with viscosity variations of several orders of magnitude. The robustness of the numerical method against viscosity variation can be significantly improved by increasing the pre- and post-smoothing calculations during the multigrid operations, and the convergence can be achieved for the global viscosity variations up to 1e10.

description: Jet flavour classification is of paramount importance for a broad range of applications in modern-day high-energy-physics experiments, particularly at the LHC. In this paper we propose a novel architecture for this task that exploits modern deep learning techniques. This new model, called DeepJet, overcomes the limitations in input size that affected previous approaches. As a result, the heavy flavour classification performance improves, and the model is extended to also perform quark-gluon tagging.

description: The main goal of this work is to investigate the influence of environment at different scales on the properties of galaxies in systems with a low number of members. To this end we used a catalogue of small galaxy systems comprising compact and locally isolated pairs, triplets and groups with four and up to six galaxies. We consider fixed aperture estimators and found that at scales lower than 5 Mpc pairs are associated to lower density environments than triplets and groups. Moreover a nearest neighbour approach highlights that triplets prefer denser environments than pairs and slightly less dense environments than groups. When considering the position within the cosmic web we found that pairs and triplets in our sample are associated to void environments while galaxy groups are more likely to reside in void walls. In agreement with these results, the system-galaxy cross-correlation function shows that pairs inhabit environments of lesser density compared to triplets and groups, and on small scales (< 3Mpc) triplets appear to behave as an intermediate system. Related to the properties of neighbour galaxies of small systems we found that the neighbours of groups present a lower fractions of star forming, young stellar population and blue colour galaxies with respect to neighbours of triplet and pair systems. These results suggest that differences in the properties of galaxies in pairs, triplets and groups are not only related to the existence of an extra galaxy member but also to the large scale environment inhabited by the systems.

description: The two-body (pair) contribution to the entropy of two-dimensional Yukawa systems is calculated and analyzed. It is demonstrated that in the vicinity of the fluid-solid (freezing) phase transition the pair entropy exhibits an abrupt jump in a narrow temperature range and this can be used to identify the freezing point. Relations to the full excess entropy and some existing freezing indicators are briefly discussed.
