description: Derivative financial products have experienced a huge expansion during recent years. New products are constantly appearing which seek to expand the scope of risk diversification. Because of their comparatively low transaction costs, the volumes of derivative transactions have often exceeded those of the underlying instruments that are traded in cash markets. Given the size of derivative markets, it is even more important now to understand the risk-return profiles of the different products. JEL Codes: G20

description: Projektstandort Nantes in Westfrankreich an der Loire: In der Stadt klafft ein Loch zwischen Zentrum und Stadtentwicklungsgebiet, ein aufgelassener Steinbruch trennt das Wohngebiet vom Fluss. Ein Kulturbau kann hier die Möglichkeit schaffen die Stadt zu verbinden und zu einem weiteren Knotenpunkt im Stadtleben zu werden, sowohl kulturell als auch zur Naherholung. Die Oper mit Ihren klassischen sowie modernen Inszenierungen fungiert hier als kulturverbindender Ort, das Gebäude selbst als Treffpunkt und Brücke über den unnatürlichen Geländebruch. Der bestehende Park "Maurice Schwob" der bis zur Kante des Steinbruchs führt, wird in das Gebäudekonzept eingebunden und erstreckt sich über das Opernhaus. Über diese erweiterte Grünfläche, jedoch ohne die Oper selbst betreten zu müssen, wird ein Übergang zum Fluss geschaffen und die Barriere des Steinbruchs überwunden. Für ökologische Nachhaltigkeit sorgen neben der intensiven Begrünung des Daches als optimale Gebäudedämmung der angrenzende Fluss zur Kühlung und Wärmegewinnung und zusätzlich großflächig Erdwärme-Flächenkollektoren. Um die CO2-intensive Herstellung von Betonmassen zu reduzieren wird, wo möglich, stattdessen auf Ziegel gesetzt. Granit aus dem Steinbruch selbst wird als nächstliegende Rohstoffquelle für die Fassadengestaltung verwendet.
description: Projected in Nantes, western France, situated at the River Loire: like a hole in the city between city-center and an urban development area sits a quarry which separates the residentail area from the river. A cultural center can create a connection and could become an urban intersection, cultural and for recreation. The opera with classical and modern productions serves as cultural connectionpoint, the building itself as meeting place and bridge over the quarry. The existing park "Maurice Schwob", situated at the top of the quarry, extends over the opera building and becomes a passage to the river Loire without entering the opera itself. The intensive green roof insulates the building, the nearby river serves cooling and heating energy and geothermal energy is also used for heating. To avoid the use of concrete with its high CO2 emissions during fabrication, bricks are used instead. Granite from the quarry itself is used for the facade as most nearby resource.

description: UBVRI photometry and optical spectra of type Ia supernova SN 2003du obtained at the Indian Astronomical Observatory for nearly a year since discovery are presented. The apparent magnitude at maximum was B=13.53 +/- 0.02 mag, and the colour (B-V) = -0.08 +/- 0.03 mag. The luminosity decline rate, Delta(m_{15}(B)) = 1.04 +/- 0.04 mag indicates an absolute B magnitude at maximum of M_B = -19.34 +/- 0.3 mag and the distance modulus to the parent galaxy as mu=32.89 +/- 0.4.The light curve shapes are similar, though not identical, to those of SNe 1998bu and 1990N, both of which had luminosity decline rates similar to that of SN 2003du and occurred in spiral galaxies. The peak bolometric luminosity indicates that 0.9 Msun mass of 56Ni was ejected by the supernova. The spectral evolution and the evolution of the Si II and Ca II absorption velocities closely follows that of SN 1998bu, and in general, is within the scatter of the velocities observed in normal type Ia supernovae. The spectroscopic and photometric behaviour of SN 2003du is quite typical for SNe Ia in spirals. A high velocity absorption component in the Ca II (H & K) and IR-triplet features, with absorption velocities of ~20,000 km/s and ~22,000 km/s respectively, is detected in the pre-maximum spectra of days -11 and -7.

description: We present the results of an analysis of data from XMM-Newton and CHANDRA observations of the high luminosity narrow-line quasar PG 1404+226. We confirm a strong soft X-ray excess in the X-ray spectrum and we find rapid variability (a factor of two in about 5000 s). When the X-ray spectrum is fit with a two component model which includes a power-law and a blackbody component, we find that low energy absorption lines are required to fit the data. If we interpret these lines as due to highly ionized species of heavy elements in an outflowing accretion disk wind, an outflow velocity of about 26000 km/s could be derived. One interesting feature of the present observation is the possible detection of variability in the absorption features: the absorption lines are visible only when the source is bright. From the upper limits of the equivalent widths (EW) of the absorption lines during the low flux states and also from the model independent pulse height ratios, we argue that the strength of absorption is lower during the low flux states. This constraints the physical size of the absorbing medium within 100 Schwartzschild radius (Rg) of the putative supermassive black hole. We also find a marginal evidence for a correlation between the strength of the absorption line and the X-ray luminosity.

title: Large Neighborhood Search for the Nurse Rostering Problem
Creators: name: Kiefer, Alexander
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Mixed Integer Linear Programming Model
subject: Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search
subject: Metaheuristics

description: Generating rosters for nurses in a hospital involves the assignment of nurses to shifts, taking into account their skills, preferences and contract types. This task is typically a very complex problem, not least because of the many restrictions that need to be taken into account. These constraints generally include hard constraints, such as forbidden shift successions and providing a minimum number of nurses for each shift. In addition, several soft constraints, representing a well-balanced schedule, should also be satisfied as far as possible. The actual real-world problem might deviate from hospital to hospital. However, the international nurse rostering competitions in 2010 and 2015 generated a common basis for research. They enhanced academic interchange by stating problem formulations and benchmark instances, that have been widely accepted and used by the research community since then. While for the first international nurse rostering competition, a formulation with many constraints was proposed, the second competition used a smaller number of constraints but extended the problem to a sequence of periods for which a roster has to be created successively. The first contribution of this thesis refers to the development of a mixed integer programming model for the problem formulation of the second competition. Due to the inherent complexity of the problem, heuristic approaches appear to be appropriate, if the problem has to be solved in reasonable time. Hence, I propose a metaheuristic based on large neighborhood search for the nurse rostering problem in this thesis. The algorithm repetitively destroys and re-builds relatively large parts of the incumbent solution by making use of several destroy and repair operators. Well-performing selection rates are precomputed by applying a modified version of the algorithm, in which selection probabilities are adjusted dynamically depending on the performance of the operators. These selection rates are then passed to the original algorithm. Within the proposed approach, a simulated annealing acceptance scheme is employed for deciding whether a generated solution is accepted as new incumbent. The algorithm is applied to the benchmark instances of the second international nurse rostering competition. The generated results are then compared with those of the finalists of the competition.

description: In dieser Diplomarbeit wurden generalisierte lineare Modelle für Kompositionsdaten angepasst. Kompositionsdaten beschreiben Teile einer Gesamtheit und tragen nur relative Informationen in sich. Sie sollten nicht direkt mit generalisierten linearen Modellen verwendet werden, da damit die Interpretation des Modells zu verfälschten Ergebnissen führen kann. Die Kompositionsdaten müssen vor Anwendung im generalisierten linearen Modell in angemessener Weise transformiert werden. Wir verwenden die ilr (isometric logratio) - Transformation nach Hron et al. (2010, 2012). In Anwendung dieser speziellen Transformation ist eine sinnvolle Interpretation der unbekannten Parameter und der Inferenzstatistik möglich. Generalisierte lineare Modelle für Kompositionsdaten wurden auch in der Statistiksoftware R implementiert. Jeweils ein praktisches Modell für binäre Daten und für Zähldaten wurde angepasst. Dazu wurden zunächst Kompositionsdaten aus dem GEMAS (Geochemical mapping of agricultural and grazing land soils) - Projekt verwendet, um die chemische Bodenzusammensetzung in Nord- und Südeuropa zu untersuchen. Daten aus einem Biomonitoringprojekt in der Tschechischen Republik (Biogeochemical exploration of forests as a base for the long-term landscape exploitation in the Czech Republic) wurden dazu verwendet, um einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Verkehrsaufkommen und der chemischen Bodenzusammensetzung zu finden.
description: In this diploma thesis generalized linear models are adapted to compositional data. Compositional data describe the parts of some whole and carry only relative information. They should not be used directly with generalized linear models as the interpretation of the model can become misleading. The data need to be appropriately transformed. We use the isometric logratio (ilr) transformation proposed by Hron et al. (2010, 2012). In application of this special ilr transformation a meaningful interpretation of the unknown parameters and the inference statistics is possible. We implemented generalized linear models with compositional data sets in the statistical software R. A model for binary data and a model for count data were adapted. We used a compositional data set resulting from the GEMAS (Geochemical mapping of agricultural and grazing land soils) project to investigate the difference in soil composition in northern and southern Europe. Furthermore we used another compositional data set from the project "Biogeochemical exploration of forests as a base for the long-term landscape exploitation in the Czech Republic" to find a relation between traffic volume and chemical composition of moss and thus model traffic induced pollution in Czech Republic.

description: The beamplitter in high-power interferometers is subject to significant radiation-pressure fluctuations. As a consequence, the phase relations which appear in the beamsplitter coupling equations oscillate and phase modulation fields are generated which add to the reflected fields. In this paper, the transfer function of the various input fields impinging on the beamsplitter from all four ports onto the output field is presented including radiation-pressure effects. We apply the general solution of the coupling equations to evaluate the input-output relations of the dual-recycled laser-interferometer topology of the gravitational-wave detector GEO600 and the power-recycling, signal-extraction topology of advanced LIGO. We show that the input-output relation exhibits a bright-port dark-port coupling. This mechanism is responsible for bright-port contributions to the noise density of the output field and technical laser noise is expected to decrease the interferometer's sensitivity at low frequencies. It is shown quantitatively that the issue of technical laser noise is unimportant in this context if the interferometer contains arm cavities.

description: An increasing number of databases have become web accessible through HTML form-based search interfaces. The data units returned from the underlying database are usually encoded into the result pages dynamically for human browsing. For the encoded data units to be machine process able, which is essential for many applications such as deep web data collection and Internet comparison shopping, they need to be extracted out and assigned meaningful labels. In this paper, we present an automatic annotation approach that first aligns the data units on a result page into different groups such that the data in the same group have the same semantic. Then, for each group we annotate it fromdifferent aspects and aggregate the different annotations to predict a final annotation label for it. An annotation wrapper for the search site is automatically constructed and can be used to annotate new result pages from the same web database. Our experiments indicate that the proposed approach is highly effective.

description: We analyze the dynamic aspect of the chiral phase transition. We apply the mode coupling theory to the linear sigma model and derive the kinetic equation for the chiral phase transition. We challenge Hohenberg and Halperin's classification scheme of dynamic critical phenomena in which the dynamic universality class of the chiral phase transition has been identified with that of the antiferromagnet. We point out a crucial difference between the chiral dynamics and the antiferromagnet system. We also calculate the dynamic critical exponent for the chiral phase transition. Our result is $z=1-η/2\cong 0.98$ which is contrasted with $z=d/2=1.5$ of the antiferromagnet.

"Through the looking glass" : an epidemiological look at the ethnic differences in maternal risk factors and infant outcomes in Canadian neonatal intensive care units
Creators: name: Claydon, Jennifer Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Objective: Identifying that there is a lack of Canadian evidence surrounding the interaction between ethnicity and reproductive risk factors and neonatal outcomes, this study sought to report on risk factors and outcomes amongst high-risk newborns requiring intensive neonatal care. Study Design: The data source for this project was the Canadian Neonatal Network™ (CNN) Database. The CNN maintains a national standardized database that collects information on selected neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) practices and outcomes on every neonate admitted to a Canadian NICU. Results: Mothers at risk of delivering newborns requiring intensive care showed differing perinatal priorities on the basis of ethnic origin. Furthermore, there were differences in the risk of mortality and major morbidity among newborns born of different ethnic backgrounds. The risks of poor infant outcome associated with ethnicity were observed over and above the presence of other well known risk factors for adverse outcome. Conclusions: Increasing our understanding of ethnically-related differences in reproductive health issues is important in order to be able to minimize disparities in health delivery on the basis of ethnicity and to improve health outcomes for all.

Subjects: subject: Mundell-Fleming model, asymmetric shocks, regional economics
subject: F36

description: The work extends the Mundell-Fleming model to a regional context in conditions of uncertainty and imbalance, thus making necessary changes to the basic structure of the original model. The necessity of such an expansion stems from several reasons. First, the new model allows to analyse the static and dynamic effects of asymmetric shocks of a stochastic or systematic character that affect a small region of a currency area. Second, at the level of regional economics there is still a lack of a theoretical model capable of synthesising the effects of monetary and fiscal policies in a context of tight interdependence between the financial sector, public sector and the real sector. Finally, within the sphere of regional economics there is a clear dividing line between short-term and long-term analysis. Aggregate demand policies can generate radically different effects in the long run as opposed to the short-run, regardless of the changes induced by the supply side. The author illustrates the main features that differentiate the model presented with the traditional Mundell-Fleming model. Then, the structure of the model is presented in formal terms and an analysis is performed of stochastic asymmetric shocks of a monetary and real nature that affect a small regional economy. Finally, the impact effects and the long-term dynamic effects of permanent shocks are analysed. JEL Codes: F36

description: Strong-field ionization of atoms by circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses produces a donut-shaped electron momentum distribution. Within the dipole approximation this distribution is symmetric with respect to the polarization plane. The magnetic component of the light field is known to shift this distribution forward. Here, we show that this magnetic non-dipole effect is not the only non-dipole effect in strong-field ionization. We find that an electric non-dipole effect arises that is due to the position dependence of the electric field and which can be understood in analogy to the Doppler effect. This electric non-dipole effect manifests as an increase of the radius of the donut-shaped photoelectron momentum distribution for forward-directed momenta and as a decrease of this radius for backwards-directed electrons. We present experimental data showing this fingerprint of the electric non-dipole effect and compare our findings with a classical model and quantum calculations.

description: We study effects of quenched bond disorder in frustrated easy-plane antiferromagnets in two space dimensions, using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. We consider local-moment systems which display non-collinear long-range order at zero temperature, with the antiferromagnetic triangular-lattice XY model as a prime example. We show that (i) weak bond disorder transforms the clean ground state into a state with quasi-long-range order, and (ii) strong bond disorder results in a short-range-ordered glassy ground state. Using extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we also track the fate of the quasi-long-range-ordered phase at finite temperature and the associated Kosterlitz-Thouless-like transition. Making contact with previous studies of disordered XY models, we discuss similarities and differences concerning the interplay of disorder and frustration. Our results are also of relevance to non-collinear Heisenberg magnets in an external magnetic field.

Officially and unofficially : processes of land development in Chinese planning
Creators: name: Cao, Dawei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the Chinese planning system, there are two planning processes: a rule-based process and guanxi. In a rule-based process, planning processes are based on legal procedures whereas in guanxi, the planning process is based on "relationships", which can lead to corruption. These dual processes are a controversial aspect of the Chinese planning system. However, the two often opposing processes operate in conjunction. Scholars have debated the fate of guanxi for several years. Some believe that guanxi will disappear gradually with the enhancement of "rule of law" whereas other scholars believe that guanxi will continue to occur. Therefore, investigating whether guanxi practice will remain a part of the Chinese planning system is a meaningful endeavor that may help to decrease corruption in Chinese planning. This thesis argues that guanxi works for two reasons: benefit seeking and abuse of discretionary power. Benefit seeking is a part of human nature that cannot be gotten rid of - as is culture. Therefore controlling the abuse of discretionary power is the main purpose of decreasing the practices of guanxi. Chinese planners are aware of this. However, they are attempting to limit discretionary power by using statutory means. This thesis argues that the focus should be placed on how to supervise the abuse of discretionary power instead of the removal of discretionary power. Simply speaking, this thesis examines opportunities to supervise decision-making processes within the planning system. Within the gradual progress of globalization, Chinese planners must realize the importance of bottom up planning processes in the transparency that it offers. It is the key to supervising the abuse of discretionary powers in the current Chinese context. Many meaningful planning methods, such as design charrette and open house, should be the next step for Chinese planning practices.

description: We report the electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient, thermoelectric power, specific heat, and thermal conductivity on single crystals of the type-VIII clathrate Ba8Ga16Sn30 grown from Sn-flux. Negative S and R_H over a wide temperature range indicate that electrons dominate electrical transport properties. Both rho(T) and S(T) show typical behavior of a heavily doped semiconductor. The absolute value of S increases monotonically to 243 uV/K with increasing temperature up to 550 K. The large S may originate from the low carrier concentration n=3.7x10^19 cm^(-3). Hall mobility u_H shows a maximum of 62 cm^2/Vs around 70 K. The analysis of temperature dependence of u_H suggests a crossover of dominant scattering mechanism from ionized impurity to acoustic phonon scattering with increasing temperature. The existence of local vibration modes of Ba atoms in cages composed of Ga and Sn atoms is evidenced by analysis of experimental data of structural refinement and specific heat, which give an Einstein temperature of 50 K and a Debye temperature of 200 K. This local vibration of Ba atoms should be responsible for the low thermal conductivity (1.1 W/m K at 150 K). The potential of type-VIII clathrate compounds for thermoelectric application is discussed.

description: In recent years, young brain drain within Italian provinces has increased at higher speed than ever. While is premature to assess whether this process is transitory or permanent, it should be analysed and monitored by researchers and policy makers for its many socio-economic consequences. Previous empirical studies have demonstrated that Italian net skilled migration is influenced by economic factors, such as income per capita and employment, and, with a less extent, by the search of places endowed with more amenities. In the crossroad between these factors, this paper investigates corruption as key element of the Italian skilled mobility. To this end, a comprehensive framework with Zero-Inflated Poisson and Pseudo-Poisson Maximum Likelihood with High Dimensional Fixed Effects models for bilateral data on the Italian students’ flows is used. Results suggest the dual role of push and pull mechanisms at play, as high corruption incentivizes Italian skilled mobility to destinations that, instead, exhibit lower corruption. Moreover, sensitivity of the prospective tertiary students to corruption varies according to their field of study of interest. Finally, empirical evidence on skilled flows from the lagging Mezzogiorno to the North of Italy, suggests that the push and pull effects of corruption stir up the endurance of the well-known socio-economic dualism between these two parts of the country.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit ist im Rahmen einer Bachelorarbeit an der Interkantonalen Hochschule für Heilpädagogik entstanden. Sie ist ein Entwicklungsprojekt, in dessen Zentrum das Thema „Down‐Syndrom“ steht. Aufgrund des Mangels an von Fördermaterial im Bereich Sprache und Bewegung für Kinder mit Down‐Syndrom ist das Ziel dieser Arbeit die Entwicklung einer Übungsmappe mit konkreten Spielideen. Dem Theorieteil folgt eine Analyse des Ist‐Zustands, die unter anderem zwei Experteninterviews und deren Auswertung umfasst. Daraus entsteht in einem zweiten Teil eine Sammlung von logopädischen und psychomotorischen Förderspielen, die sich auf sechs Hauptschwerpunkte spezialisieren, nämlich Wortschatz, Mundmotorik, Atmung, taktil‐kinästhetische Wahrnehmung, Tonus und basale Stimulation sowie basale Kommunikation. Die Sammlung umfasst 20 Spiele, welche sowohl in der Therapie als auch zu Hause eingesetzt werden können.

description: Diese Diplomarbeit über mathematische Modelle in der Ökologie befasst sich mit einem Thema, das heutzutage zunehmend relevanter wird. Ökologische Modelle geben einen Einblick in die Art und Weise wie verschiedene Spezies miteinander interagieren. Obwohl es verschiedenste Möglichkeiten gibt, in welchem Verhältnis zwei Arten zueinander stehen können, werden die drei häufigsten Interaktionen illustriert und diskutiert: Räuber-Beute-Modelle, Konkurrenz-Modelle und Symbiose-Modelle. Die Ausführungen sind so gestaltet, dass mit sehr einfachen Modellannahmen begonnen wird und das Modell dann erweitert wird, um eine bessere Annäherung an die Realität zu gewährleisten. In den Schlussbemerkungen wird auf den praktischen Nutzen der Modelle eingegangen, um zu verdeutlichen wieso das Studium der ökologischen Modelle sinnvoll ist.
description: This thesis focuses on the discussion of ecological models. Ecological models try to picture how different species interact with one another. While there are many ways two species can interact with each other, in this thesis we focus on three main interaction models. The first model is the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey-model, where one species is prey to the other. Then, a competition model is introduced, in which both species live of the same resource. Lastly, a model of a symbiotical interaction between two species is discussed, where both species benefit from one another. Starting with strongly simplified models, we then progress to expand them to better reflect natural occurrences. Finally some practical uses of these ecological models are presented, to show which significance they hold in different fields.

description: A successful intelligent control of patient food for treatment purpose must combines patient interesting food list and doctors efficient treatment food list. Actually, many rural communities in Sudan have extremely limited access to diabetic diet centers. People travel long distances to clinics or medical facilities, and there is a shortage of medical experts in most of these facilities. This results in slow service, and patients end up waiting long hours without receiving any attention. Hence diabetic diet expert systems can play a significant role in such cases where medical experts are not readily available. This paper presents the design and implementation of an intelligent medical expert system for diabetes diet that intended to be used in Sudan. The development of the proposed expert system went through a number of stages such problem and need identification, requirements analysis, knowledge acquisition, formalization, design and implementation. Visual prolog was used for designing the graphical user interface and the implementation of the system. The proposed expert system is a promising helpful tool that reduces the workload for physicians and provides diabetics with simple and valuable assistance.
Debito pubblico versus debito privato

description: During the past decade several distinct ‘debt problems' have been experienced. These include the debt crisis of the less developed countries and, generally, the more recent excessive private debt. The latter-day conventional wisdom that only public debt matters is criticised. It is argued that in a world in which public debt matters, private debt is normally relevant as well. JEL Codes: F34, E21

description: The specific objective of the work concerns the analysis of long-term trends in the differences in price levels between provincial capitals in Italy. The aim is deliberately limited to defining their character, as well as to analysing the pattern of spread and transmission between the different Italian regions in the inflationary process. The author discusses the dispersion between the various cities in the annual rate of inflation. Then the extent to which the relative prices (compared to the national average) of each city are stable in the long run is verified. After aggregating economically significant individual cities into macro-regions, the major trends in the cost of living differentials are summarised. Finally, the results of an econometric exercise are presented in which the transmission of inflationary impulses, among macro-regions, is considered. JEL Codes: E31, O52

description: Abstract: An approach for resilient multipath routing with independent directed acyclic graphs is presented in this paper and developed polynomial time algorithms to construct node independent and link independent DAGs using all possible edges in the network. In this multiple pairs of colored trees approaches to prove the validity of the algorithm. The IDAGs approach performs significantly better than the independent trees approach in terms of increasing no. of paths offered, reducing the probability of a two-link failure disconnecting a node from the destination and average link load. The trees based on the shortest paths on the IDAGs have better performance than that of the ITrees approach since the average shortest path length on the IDAGs is shorter than the average path length on the ITrees. Multiple pairs of colored trees approach is better in terms of the product of the no. of critical links and average link load compared to the ITrees and IDAGs approaches.Keywords: Multipath Routing; ITrees; MANETs, Acyclic Graphs; Nodes;

description: The transformation that has affected the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union as a result of "perestroika" has all the characteristics of a revolution - political, economic, social and cultural. The policy had the merit of bringing out all the dissatisfaction with the poor functioning of centrally planned economies. It follows that no specific reform, taken alone, is sufficient to ensure the success of the transformation, for however important the sector may be, for example that of finance; a synergetic effort is necessary to ensure that the system changes its true functioning and not just the name of processes that remain unchanged in their economic and political essence.

description: Massive black hole (MBH) coalescences are powerful sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. To study these events in the cosmological context we need to trace the large-scale structure and cosmic evolution of a statistical population of galaxies, from dim dwarfs to bright galaxies. To cover such a large range of galaxy masses, we analyse two complementary simulations: Horizon-AGN with a large volume and low resolution which tracks the high-mass (> 1e7 Msun) MBH population, and NewHorizon with a smaller volume but higher resolution that traces the low-mass (< 1e7 Msun) MBH population. While Horizon-AGN can be used to estimate the rate of inspirals for Pulsar Timing Arrays, NewHorizon can investigate MBH mergers in a statistical sample of dwarf galaxies for LISA, which is sensitive to low-mass MBHs. We use the same method to analyse the two simulations, post-processing MBH dynamics to account for time delays mostly determined by dynamical friction and stellar hardening. In both simulations, MBHs typically merge long after the galaxies do, so that the galaxy morphology at the time of the MBH merger is no longer determined by the galaxy merger from which the MBH merger originated. These time delays cause a loss of high-z MBH coalescences, shifting the peak of the MBH merger rate to z~1-2. This study shows how tracking MBH mergers in low-mass galaxies is crucial to probing the MBH merger rate for LISA and investigate the properties of the host galaxies.
