description: The two-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel (IC) with arbitrary number of antennas at each terminal is considered and the degrees of freedom (DoF) region is characterized in the presence of noiseless channel output feedback from each receiver to its respective transmitter and availability of delayed channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT). It is shown that having output feedback and delayed CSIT can strictly enlarge the DoF region of the MIMO IC when compared to the case in which only delayed CSIT is present. The proposed coding schemes that achieve the corresponding DoF region with feedback and delayed CSIT utilize both resources, i.e., feedback and delayed CSIT in a non-trivial manner. It is also shown that the DoF region with local feedback and delayed CSIT is equal to the DoF region with global feedback and delayed CSIT, i.e., local feedback and delayed CSIT is equivalent to global feedback and delayed CSIT from the perspective of the degrees of freedom region. The converse is proved for a stronger setting in which the channels to the two receivers need not be statistically equivalent.

description: According to the latest review report of the Council of Experts on Climate Change, the German building sector failed to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in 2022. This is in part because investments in energy-efficient building refurbishment—supported by all kinds of policy measures— has neither been low nor shown a consistently positive trend over the past ten years. Furthermore, data from the DIW Berlin construction volume calculation and the Heinze GmbH modernization volume show the price-adjusted development of investments in energy-efficiency building renovation for the first time. There have been significant declines in investments in insulation, the replacement of windows and exterior doors, and the renewal of heating systems in many years. Although policymakers are currently making funds available to provide more support for such investments again, the subsidy volume is likely to be too low considering current and likely further price developments. However, a coordinated expansion of production as well as installation capacities is required to prevent additional funding from being canceled out by price effects.

Investigation of fibre interaction with a forming fabric
Creators: name: Li, Jingmei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The forming stage of the papermaking process plays an important role in shaping the quality of final paper sheets. This thesis focuses on studies of fibre motion in the forming section. Wire mark was investigated both numerically and experimentally. Initial sheet forming was simulated with hundreds of fibres of random initial distribution placed into the flow above the fabric and advected onto the fabric. The surface roughness of the resulting fibre mat was calculated. The results show that during initial formation, topographic wire mark is caused in part by fibre bending and in part by the geometry of the fabric. For the specific fibres and sinusoidal forming fabric examined, more than 50% of topographic wire mark was caused by fabric geometry, with the remainder caused by fibre bending. In the experiments, the surface roughness of paper sheets made from different fibre properties was studied using an X-ray tomography device. Light-weight fibre mats were made in a handsheet former machine. A surface map of the wire side of the paper was produced via image analysis. The results reveal that increasing fibre coarseness decreases the surface smoothness of paper. As fibre length increases, surface roughness decreases slightly. Both fine and coarse forming fabrics were used in the sheet forming section. The surfaces of fibre mats made from finer forming fabrics were found to be smoother. The fibre orientation distribution of final paper sheets is closely dependent on the physical properties of the sheets. Fibre orientation in the forming section was studied numerically. In the simulations, one end of each fibre was held by the wire/fibre mat, with the other end carried in the flow. In the uniform flow, analyzed solution from the analysis was obtained. The fibre angle after deposition was only found to be a function of flow direction and initial fibre position. In the shear flow, a dimensionless group of γL/u_z was defined. As the value of γL/u_z increases, fibre mats increase in anisotropy. Fibre properties such as flexural rigidity and aspect ratio were found to have a insignificant effect on fibre orientation.

description: In the 24 years since its introduction, the euro has experienced a financial crisis, a government debt crisis, a global pandemic, and an energy crisis—and survived. Using a model focusing on households, this Weekly Report shows that the monetary union’s stability is rooted in the fact that the middle class neither gains nor loses significantly relative to an independent currency following business cycle impulses. The shifting of the costs due to a crisis as a result of membership in a monetary union occurs at the tails of the wealth distribution, namely between groups of equal wealth in different countries.

description: Over the past 20 years, China has granted a conspicuous amount of loans to African countries. New loan data show that compared to Western multilateral loans, Chinese loans have relatively high interest rates and shorter maturities, tend to be highly collateralized, and are volatile over time. Thus, Western loans are generally more likely to be in the economic interest of the borrowing country. Furthermore, Chinese loans are focused on resource-rich countries that undertake fewer anti-corruption efforts, so local policymakers have more opportunities to feather their own nest. Finally, unlike Western loans, Chinese loans are not tied to any economic policy conditions. It seems worth considering for Western lenders to reduce the number and intensity of loan conditions to respect the sovereignty of the borrowing countries.

description: This article presents a heterodyne experiment which uses a 380-520 GHz planar circuit balanced Nb-$\mathrm{Al_2O_3}$-Nb superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) quasiparticle mixer with 4-8 GHz instantaneous intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth to quantitatively determine local oscillator (LO) noise. A balanced mixer is a unique tool to separate noise at the mixer's LO port from other noise sources. This is not possible in single-ended mixers. The antisymmetric IV characteristic of a SIS mixer further helps to simplify the measurements. The double-sideband receiver sensitivity of the balanced mixer is 2-4 times the quantum noise limit $hν/k_B$ over the measured frequencies with a maximum LO noise rejection of 15 dB. This work presents independent measurements with three different LO sources that produce the reference frequency but also an amount of near-carrier noise power which is quantified in the experiment as a function of the LO and IF frequency in terms of an equivalent noise temperature $T_{LO}$. In a second experiment we use only one of two SIS mixers of the balanced mixer chip, in order to verify the influence of near-carrier LO noise power on a single-ended heterodyne mixer measurement. We find an IF frequency dependence of near-carrier LO noise power. The frequency-resolved IF noise temperature slope is flat or slightly negative for the single-ended mixer. This is in contrast to the IF slope of the balanced mixer itself which is positive due to the expected IF roll-off of the mixer. This indicates a higher noise level closer to the LO's carrier frequency. Our findings imply that near-carrier LO noise has the largest impact on the sensitivity of a receiver system which uses mixers with a low IF band, for example superconducting hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixers.

This central research question, of the passage from sound and music to Museological Programming, essentially arises from the attempt to find theoretical tools, approaches and techniques of extending contemporary methodologies of museology. Through the development of elements of the theory of Sound, Noise and Music, we try to find the points where the above concepts meet with the Museum, essentially bridging two different worlds, Music and Architecture, with the Museum Exhibition as the scope, through the redesign of the “Mediterranean Sound Colours”.

description: In its Federal Climate Change Act, Germany has committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2045. To do so, companies from both the industrial and the service sectors must adjust their production and business practices, and financial institutions must adjust their evaluation criteria. In many cases, this requires a new strategic direction and investments in climate-neutral products, business models, and production technology. To achieve this, companies require capital and support from the financial sector, which thusly plays a key role in achieving climate targets. For investors, civil society organizations, and government agencies to understand the investment needs, progress, and potential risks of companies as they transition to climate neutrality, companies are expected to provide forward-looking climate-related reporting based on scientific evidence and standardized procedures. Science utilizes scenarios, which can provide industrial and service companies as well as banks, funds, and insurance companies with standardized and comparable information about the transition to a climate-neutral business model and the resulting risks. Scenarios allow companies in the real economy to systematically consider transition risks and opportunities when making decisions about investments and strategic direction. Furthermore, the scenarios make it possible for the financial industry to gradually decarbonize its investment portfolio and to depict company-specific transition risks and opportunities in risk management.

description: We show that both the interior region $rM^2$ Kerr naked singularity admit unstable solutions of the Teukolsky equation for any value of the spin weight. For every harmonic number there is at least one axially symmetric mode that grows exponentially in time and decays properly in the radial directions. These can be used as Debye potentials to generate solutions for the scalar, Weyl spinor, Maxwell and linearized gravity field equations on these backgrounds, satisfying appropriate spatial boundary conditions and growing exponentially in time, as shown in detail for the Maxwell case. It is suggested that the existence of the unstable modes is related to the so called "time machine" region, where the axial Killing vector field is time-like, and the Teukolsky equation, restricted to axially symmetric fields, changes its character from hyperbolic to elliptic.

description: Despite the easing of prices on the energy markets, private households continue to be burdened by elevated prices. The planned increase the planned increase in the carbon price for transport and heating will raise the burden on private households even further. These additional costs are unequally distributed and have a regressive effect, as poor households must spend much more relative to their net income than rich households. Using the tax revenue from carbon pricing to fund a flat-rate climate dividend per person reduces this regressive effect substantially. However, low-income households with a high level of energy consumption, which are impacted in particular, need additional relief or more support in conserving energy. Adaptation responses to the higher prices are uncertain, but could result in emissions savings of up to 30 percent.

Studies towards the synthesis of functionalized aryl fluorides : transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling and fluorination of organoboron reagents
Creators: name: Sun, Duo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis covers several synthetic approaches to the generation of highly functionalized aryl fluorides. PtCl₂(SMe₂)₂ and PtCl₂(DMSO)₂ have been applied to catalytic methylation of polyfluoroaryl imines as user-friendly precatalysts. These complexes have demonstrated high selectivity for ortho C-F activation and subsequent functionalization, exhibiting high functional group tolerance while proving more thermal, moisture and air stable than our original catalyst, [PtMe₂(SMe₂)]₂. Nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling reactions allow rapid functionalized of C-F bonds; we have been able to obtain a variety of highly functionalized aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkyl-substituted aryl fluoride molecules under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, we have described a novel fluorination procedure that employs organoboron reagents and electrophilic fluorine sources. This method is rapid, high yielding and can be carried out without inert atmosphere protection and dry solvents.

Currently, energy-intensive industries do not need to purchase all of the necessary EU ETS allowances on the market to remain globally competitive, as the remaining allowances are freely allocated to them. The CBAM plans to gradually replace free allowances with a price on the carbon emissions embedded in imports. Following a transitional—primarily monitoring— phase, this price on embedded emissions will be gradually introduced from 2026 on the imports of certain products. While the CBAM can mitigate carbon leakage, production declines in greenhouse-gas intensive industries as a result of limiting free allowances, and rising carbon prices, it cannot compensate for them completely. In particular, the CBAM does not provide sufficient protection for exporters to non-EU countries. It is crucial that the CBAM does not lead to trade conflicts that would make multilateral cooperation more difficult. International cooperation is indispensable, as it is the only way to reduce global emissions.

description: A representative survey from August 2022 confirms public support for a universal basic income (UBI): Between 45 and 55 percent of respondents are in favor of a universal basic income and the unconditional financial security it promises. Two representative surveys from August 2022 investigate who exactly UBI supporters are and which UBI model they prefer. The surveys show that younger people in particular as well as low-income earners and people with serious concerns about their own economic situation support a UBI. One of the surveys analyzed in this Weekly Report shows that most respondents support an unconditional UBI of 1,200 euros that is financed via higher income and wealth taxes on the rich.

description: The majority of refugee women who arrived in Germany during the peak of the refugee crisis between 2013 and 2019 are unemployed. Using data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees, this study investigates the contributing factors for refugee women’s limited labor market participation. Results show that a combination of low levels of education compared to the German population, slow progress in language acquisition, and traditional roles in the division of paid and unpaid work within the family are barriers to women’s labor market integration. Nevertheless, the share of employed refugee women has doubled. Moreover, the share of women with poor German skills has decreased by half, while the share of women with moderate or good German skills has increased. Additionally, the share of young refugee women participating in an educational program has tripled. These developments show that refugee women have made progress in integrating into the labor market. Therefore, it is urgently recommended to expand existing integration measures that are tailored to women.

description: Ein Unfall, eine chronische Erkrankung oder auch eine angeborene Behinderung sind häufige Ursachen für den Verlust der Erwerbsfähigkeit. Der Wegfall des Erwerbseinkommens wird zwar durch die Erwerbsminderungsrente in der gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung versichert. Diese Rente ist aber so niedrig, dass Erwerbsgeminderte einem sehr hohen Armutsrisiko ausgesetzt sind und überdurchschnittlich häufig Leistungen der Grundsicherung beziehen. Seit der Rentenreform 2001 sind die durchschnittlichen Leistungen stark zurückgegangen. Reformen in den Jahren 2014 und 2019 führten zwar Verbesserungen für neu zugehende Renten ein, der Rentenbestand profitierte allerdings nicht davon. Dies wird erst zum Juli 2024 nachgeholt. Berechnungen zeigen, dass diese Reform das Armutsrisiko zwar um knapp acht Prozent senken kann, Erwerbsgeminderte aber weiterhin überdurchschnittlich häufig von Armut betroffen sind. Zudem haben die Betroffenen eine niedrige Lebenserwartung; ein relevanter Teil der potenziell Begünstigten wird nicht mehr am Leben sein, wenn die Reform in Kraft tritt. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass es bei dieser Leistung auf eine schnellere Umsetzung ankommt und weitere Maßnahmen nötig sind, um das Armutsrisiko bei Erwerbsminderung zu reduzieren.

Nonlocality of Symmetric States

description: In this paper we study the non-local properties of permutation symmetric states of n-qubits. We extend the bipartite Hardy paradox and the associated CH-inequality to n-party permutation symmetric states to show that all symmetric states exhibit non-locality. Natural extensions of both the paradoxes and the inequalities are developed which relate different entanglement classes to different non-local features. We define inequalities which are violated by all states of one entanglement class, whereas there are states outside that class which do not violate.
