description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Ursprung der Subprime-Krise 2007/2008 und deren Auswirkungen auf den Wiener Markt für Wohnimmobilien. Anfangs werden die wichtigsten Modelle und Theorien beschrieben, welche sich mit der Entstehung und dem Verlauf von Preisblasen befassen. Hier werden ebenfalls die wirtschaftspolitischen Strategien diskutiert, welche im Vorfeld wie auch im Zuge der Subprime- Krise in Europa Anwendung fanden. Anschließend werden der Verlauf der Krise und deren Auslöser beleuchtet und ausführlich dargestellt. Der Ursprung der Weltwirtschaftskrise von 2007/2008 ist in der Subprime- Krise in den USA und im Handel mit verbrieften Hypothekarkrediten auszumachen. Die Weltwirtschaft hat stark unter dieser Krise gelitten und es wurden in der Folge am heimischen Markt sichere und stabile Anlagegüter gesucht und in der Form von Wohnimmobilien am Wiener Markt auch gefunden. Kernthema dieser Arbeit sind daher unter anderem die Einflussfaktoren auf den Wiener Immobilienmarkt, welche speziell durch die Krise hervorgekehrt wurden. Der anhaltend niedrige Leitzins schaffte eine expansive Dynamik in der heimischen Wirtschaft und vereinfachte für viele Marktteilnehmer ger Eintritt in den Immobilienmarkt. Des Weiteren befasst sich diese Arbeit mit den Lehren, die aus der Krise gezogen wurden, und den Maßnahmen, die getroffen wurden, um die allgemeine Wirtschaft nachhaltig stabilisieren zu können. Zusätzlich dazu werden ebenfalls etwaige Möglichkeiten, um Preisblasen frühzeitig zu erkennen, dargestellt und deren Vor- und Nachteile diskutiert. Da sich die Früherkennung von Preisblasen allerdings als problematisch erwiesen hat, war der Schritt, Basel III in das europäische und nationale Rechtssystem zu implementieren, von großer Bedeutung. Abschließend werden in dieser Arbeit die zukünftige Entwicklung des Wiener Wohnimmobilienmarktes und dessen wichtigste Einflussfaktoren analysiert. Laut den Daten der Österreichischen Nationalbank weicht der Marktpreis für Wohnimmobilien am Wiener Markt derzeit um ca. 19 Prozent vom berechneten Fundamentalpreis ab und dies lässt Rückschlüsse auf eine mögliche, heranwachsende Preisblase zu. Andere Indikatoren haben allerdings ergeben, dass sich der Wiener Immobilienmarkt in einem gesunden und nachhaltigen Umfeld bewegt und das bisherige Wachstum auf einer soliden Basis steht.

description: In modern visual SLAM systems, it is a standard practice to retrieve potential candidate map points from overlapping keyframes for further feature matching or direct tracking. In this work, we argue that keyframes are not the optimal choice for this task, due to several inherent limitations, such as weak geometric reasoning and poor scalability. We propose a voxel-map representation to efficiently retrieve map points for visual SLAM. In particular, we organize the map points in a regular voxel grid. Visible points from a camera pose are queried by sampling the camera frustum in a raycasting manner, which can be done in constant time using an efficient voxel hashing method. Compared with keyframes, the retrieved points using our method are geometrically guaranteed to fall in the camera field-of-view, and occluded points can be identified and removed to a certain extend. This method also naturally scales up to large scenes and complicated multicamera configurations. Experimental results show that our voxel map representation is as efficient as a keyframe map with 5 keyframes and provides significantly higher localization accuracy (average 46% improvement in RMSE) on the EuRoC dataset. The proposed voxel-map representation is a general approach to a fundamental functionality in visual SLAM and widely applicable.

description: Since the structural adjustment days of the 1990s, targeting inflation to single digit rates has remained a predominant feature of Uganda’s macroeconomic strategy towards creating and sustaining an enabling environment for poverty-reducing growth. One of the most commonly advanced arguments for this inflation targeting strategy is the minimization of the erosion of the purchasing power of the poor. Implicit in this argument is the concern that inflation hurts the poor the most. However, since different consumers purchase different bundles of goods and services depending on personal and location-specific socioeconomic characteristics, when inflation rises beyond the targeted range, it is not obvious which income group experiences a relatively higher rate of inflation. Even when group-specific inflation rates are known, the subpopulation with a higher relative rate of inflation may not necessary be the one that bears the brunt of a surge in inflation...

We show the extraction of Fa for neutrino experiments. We show how well \minerva, a new approved experiment at FNAL, can measure Fa. We show the that Fa has a different contribution to the anti-neutrino cross section, and how the anti-neutrino data can be used to check Fa extracted from neutrino scattering.

description: This study examines male-female wage determination and gender discrimination in Uganda. The study used the nationally representative household survey 2002/03 collected by Uganda bureau of statistics. It was found out that male-female wage gap is about 39%. Wages for both males and females are estimated by implementing a Heckman selection model. Heckman selection model was employed to correct for selectivity at the stage of entrance into the labour market. Estimations from the wage equations both for men and women with sample and sector selection highlight the relevance of human capital, demographic factors and regional labour market segmentation in wage determination. The results from the gender wage gap decomposition using Oaxaca (1973) and Neumark decomposition indicate larger wage differential attributed to discrimination and that the largest component of the unexplained wage gap stems from female disadvantage. The study recommends policies that reduce gender inequalities, particularly those policies that have a positive impact on the empowerment of women who suffer from discrimination like access to education, work environment that encourage equal treatment in labour market.

description: The microscopic calculation of the decay width of giant monopole resonance (GMR) anticipates the mixing of one-phonon states with configurations of increasing complexity. To this aim we develop the effective approach for description of monopole excited states that are obtained in the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA), with regard of the coupling between one- and two-phonon states. Based on the QRPA one-phonon states, we generate the coupling and two-phonon states by means of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) distribution. Within our approach the spreading width of the GMRs in $^{204,206,208}$Pb are described by means of a random matrix approach on two energy scales. It is demonstrated that the main contribution into the decay of the GMR is determined by a small number of two-phonon states strongly coupled to low-energy surface vibrations. While a vast majority of the coupling matrix elements (that are small in value and following the GOE distribution) are responsible for the fine structure of the GMR spreading width. A remarkable agreement between the results of the full microscopic calculations (based on QRPA phonons coupled by means of the microscopic coupling matrix elements with calculated two-phonon states) with those of the developed approach confirms the vitality of the proposed ideas.

description: The paper uses a panel data set of 1309 households in Uganda to measure vulnerability to poverty between 1992/2000 and to estimate the impact of household characteristics on vulnerability. The likelihood of future poverty is estimated based on the expected mean and variance of household consumption. Education, spatial characteristics and access to community infrastructure are found to have important impacts on vulnerability. Specifically the reduction in vulnerability to poverty increases with higher education attainment of the household head. Also households resident in northern Uganda are about 60 percent more vulnerable compared to their counterparts in Central Uganda. The study also finds that causes of vulnerability in Uganda are similar to causes of poverty and therefore policies to raise the earning capacity of poor households would help both vulnerability and poverty.

description: Many countries, cities and areas have been successfully approaching 100% renewable energy. A lot of knowledge have been obtained in that effort. On the other hand, it is not high level the target of switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy in Japan. For this reason, local municipalities are not clearly showing specific targets of renewable energy introduction. Research institutions such as national and universities have data on the introduction status of renewable energy in each region and future possibilities and it is possible to consider switching to 100% renewable energy. In this research, utilizing the experiences of energy transformation in the world, we are planning to switch to 100% renewable energy in a certain area of Japan. The transformation will develop the environment, the economy and the job creation, at same time It prevent global warming. And then I would like to accelerate the shift to renewable energy in Japan.
Deciphering the Origin of the GeV--TeV Gamma-ray Emission from SS 433

description: We investigate hadronic and leptonic scenarios for the GeV--TeV gamma-ray emission from jets of the microquasar SS 433. The emission region of the TeV photons coincides with the X-ray knots, where electrons are efficiently accelerated. On the other hand, the optical high-density filaments are also located close to the X-ray knots, which may support a hadronic scenario. We calculate multi-wavelength photon spectra of the extended jet region by solving the transport equations for the electrons and protons. We find that both hadronic and leptonic models can account for the observational data, including the latest {\it Fermi} LAT result. The hadronic scenarios predict higher-energy photons than the leptonic scenarios, and future observations such as with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), and the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) may distinguish between these scenarios and unravel the emission mechanism of GeV--TeV gamma-rays. Based on our hadronic scenario, the analogy between microquasars and radio galaxies implies that the X-ray knot region of the radio-galaxy jets may accelerate heavy nuclei up to ultrahigh energies.

title: Boundaries, spaces and dialogue: learning to lead in an English primary school
Creators: name: Pegg, Ann Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis investigates workplace learning for new and established leaders in an English primary school. The study uses an ethnographic linguistic approach to explore the workplace learning environment and develops a conceptual framework that examines boundary construction, performance spaces and genres of organizational talk. This framework draws on Hernes (2003) to assess organizational boundaries, sociological and psychological concepts which take account of space and a Bakhtinian theory of language to understand genres. Using this framework the study investigates the way that the five formal leaders of a 350 pupil semi-rural primary school are able to learn to lead as part of their working lives. The methods used included interviews, participant observation, concept mapping,group discussions and attendance at the INSET training days and management team meetings taking place within the school. The study took place over one school year (September to July). The study illuminates the ways in which learning to lead was dominated by the local environment. Planned learning within the school was related to the organizational concerns of the headteacher and her perceptions of vulnerability and risk associated with opening the boundaries around and within the school. The school was assessed as having a restrictive learning environment, using Fuller and Unwin’s (2003) expansive – restrictive continuum, but this planned strategy by the headteacher aimed to ensure that fast, immersive learning could take place. Use of a limited range of genres of organizational talk also shaped the way in which learning took place, privileging process knowledge (Eraut 2004). The thesis proposes that boundaries, spaces and genres need to be considered together when considering the workplace as a learning environment.

description: We investigate the prospect of performing a null test of binary black hole (BBH) nature using spin-induced quadrupole moment (SIQM) measurements. This is achieved by constraining a deviation parameter ($δκ$) related to the parameter ($κ$) that quantifies the degree of deformation due to the spin of individual binary components on leading (quadrupolar) spin-induced moment. Throughout the paper, we refer to $κ$ as the SIQM parameter and $δκ$ as the SIQM-deviation parameter. The test presented here extends the earlier SIQM-based null tests for BBH nature by employing waveform models that account for double spin-precession and higher modes. We find that waveform with double spin-precession gives better constraints for $δκ$, compared to waveform with single spin-precession. We also revisit earlier constraints on the SIQM-deviation parameter for selected GW events observed through the first three observing runs (O1-O3) of LIGO-Virgo detectors. Additionally, the effects of higher-order modes on the test are also explored for a variety of mass-ratio and spin combinations by injecting simulated signals in zero-noise. Our analyses indicate that binaries with mass-ratio greater than 3 and significant spin precession may require waveforms that account for spin-precession and higher modes to perform the parameter estimation reliably.

description: Whereas Uganda's recovery and growth strategies have delivered impressive poverty reduction, ensuring the pro-poorness of post-recovery growth has been very challenging. Although annual growth rates have been sustained at around 5%, participation in growth has narrowed, resulting in deepening inequality that has undermined the poverty impact of growth. Consequently, the poverty reduction momentum that characterized the 1990s began to diminish by the turn of the millennium. Evidence discussed in this paper suggests that long term pro-poor growth could result from consistently and patiently investing in people and physical infrastructure, specially in a policy environment that ensures efficient linkages to the international markets of commodities that the poor can be facilitated to produce.

There are no special weightings in the connections of most existing small-world network models. However, this kind of simply-connected models cannot characterize biological neural networks, in which there are different weights in synaptic connections. In this paper, we present a neural network model with weighted small-world connections, and further investigate the stability of this model.

description: Existing gesture generation methods primarily focus on upper body gestures based on audio features, neglecting speech content, emotion, and locomotion. These limitations result in stiff, mechanical gestures that fail to convey the true meaning of audio content. We introduce ExpGest, a novel framework leveraging synchronized text and audio information to generate expressive full-body gestures. Unlike AdaIN or one-hot encoding methods, we design a noise emotion classifier for optimizing adversarial direction noise, avoiding melody distortion and guiding results towards specified emotions. Moreover, aligning semantic and gestures in the latent space provides better generalization capabilities. ExpGest, a diffusion model-based gesture generation framework, is the first attempt to offer mixed generation modes, including audio-driven gestures and text-shaped motion. Experiments show that our framework effectively learns from combined text-driven motion and audio-induced gesture datasets, and preliminary results demonstrate that ExpGest achieves more expressive, natural, and controllable global motion in speakers compared to state-of-the-art models.

Dose verification of rotating collimator intensity modulated radiation thearpy
Creators: name: Schmuland, Moira Leigh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A novel method of delivering Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has been proposed in which the entire multileaf collimator (MLC) is rotated between each segment. Current linear accelerators (linacs) are not designed for IMRT delivery with collimator rotation therefore extensive quality assurance testing must be done before this technique can be used clinically. This thesis has two main objectives. The first is to evaluate whether IMRT plans incorporating collimator rotation can be delivered on a standard radiotherapy linac. The second is to evaluate whether the dose distributions produced with rotating MLC (RMLC) IMRT are comparable to IMRT plans conventionally delivered, without collimator rotation. First, the Dynamic Beam Delivery (DBD) toolbox, the interface required to independently control collimator rotation, was tested. It was verified that the DBD toolbox could rotate the collimator accurately to its intended angle within 0.5°. Also, fluence distributions of varying complexity were generated using the in-house RMLC algorithm and validated using film-based verification methods. Dosimetric analysis provided information regarding the MLC modeling and resolution limitations of the algorithm. Clinical RMLC IMRT treatment plans were generated and delivered and, after incorporating a 1.4 mm leaf-gap requirement, good agreement between the measured and calculated distributions for single fields were obtained. These test results indicated that RMLC IMRT is viable on radiotherapy linacs. To evaluate whether treatment plans optimized for RMLC IMRT delivery were comparable to plans optimized for conventional IMRT delivery, composite multi-field dose distributions delivered to a water-equivalent phantom were analyzed. Prostate, nasopharynx and c-shape structures were used as the target volumes and the treatment sites were optimized for RMLC, conventional, and rotating aperture optimization (RAO) IMRT. The measured and calculated (Varian CadPlan treatment planning system) dose distributions were compared using orthogonal profiles and a gamma factor analysis. Results indicate that RMLC and conventional IMRT plans are comparable when using a 5.0 mm width beamlet (versus the 2.5 mm width beamlet) during the optimization. In addition, it was found that the RAO IMRT plans, which also incorporated collimator rotation, yielded the best results.
A numerical study of the alpha model for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulent flows

description: We explore some consequences of the ``alpha model,'' also called the ``Lagrangian-averaged'' model, for two-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This model is an extension of the smoothing procedure in fluid dynamics which filters velocity fields locally while leaving their associated vorticities unsmoothed, and has proved useful for high Reynolds number turbulence computations. We consider several known effects (selective decay, dynamic alignment, inverse cascades, and the probability distribution functions of fluctuating turbulent quantities) in magnetofluid turbulence and compare the results of numerical solutions of the primitive MHD equations with their alpha-model counterparts' performance for the same flows, in regimes where available resolution is adequate to explore both. The hope is to justify the use of the alpha model in regimes that lie outside currently available resolution, as will be the case in particular in three-dimensional geometry or for magnetic Prandtl numbers differing significantly from unity. We focus our investigation, using direct numerical simulations with a standard and fully parallelized pseudo-spectral method and periodic boundary conditions in two space dimensions, on the role that such a modeling of the small scales using the Lagrangian-averaged framework plays in the large-scale dynamics of MHD turbulence. Several flows are examined, and for all of them one can conclude that the statistical properties of the large-scale spectra are recovered, whereas small-scale detailed phase information (such as e.g. the location of structures) is lost.

description: We present a relativistic correction scheme to improve the accuracy of 1s core-level binding energies calculated from Green's function theory in the $GW$ approximation, which does not add computational overhead. An element-specific corrective term is derived as the difference between the 1s eigenvalues obtained from the self-consistent solutions to the non- or scalar-relativistic Kohn-Sham equations and the four-component Dirac-Kohn-Sham equations for a free neutral atom. We examine the dependence of this corrective term on the molecular environment and on the amount of exact exchange in hybrid exchange-correlation functionals. This corrective term is then added as a perturbation to the quasiparticle energies from partially self-consistent and single-shot $GW$ calculations. We show that this element-specific relativistic correction, when applied to a previously reported benchmark set of 65 core-state excitations [J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 11, 1840 (2020)], reduces the mean absolute error (MAE) with respect to experiment from 0.55 to 0.30 eV and eliminates the species dependence of the MAE, which otherwise increases with the atomic number. The relativistic corrections also reduce the species dependence for the optimal amount of exact exchange in the hybrid functional used as starting point for the single-shot $G_0W_0$ calculations. Our correction scheme can be transferred to other methods, which we demonstrate for the Delta self-consistent field ($Δ$SCF) approach based on density functional theory.
Family of Concurrence Monotones and its Applications

description: We extend the definition of concurrence into a family of entanglement monotones, which we call concurrence monotones. We discuss their properties and advantages as computational manageable measures of entanglement, and show that for pure bipartite states all measures of entanglement can be written as functions of the concurrence monotones. We then show that the concurrence monotones provide bounds on quantum information tasks. As an example, we discuss their applications to remote entanglement distributions (RED) such as entanglement swapping and remote preparation of bipartite entangled states (RPBES). We prove a powerful theorem which states what kind of (possibly mixed) bipartite states or distributions of bipartite states can not be remotely prepared. The theorem establishes an upper bound on the amount of $G$-concurrence (one member in the concurrence family) that can be created between two single-qudit nodes of quantum networks by means of tripartite RED. For pure bipartite states the bound on the $G$-concurrence can always be saturated by RPBES.

description: Aufgrund verschärfter Wettbewerbsbedingungen stehen landwirtschaftliche Familienbetriebe vor wachsenden Herausforderungen, sodass Fragen der betrieblichen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit mehr denn je an Bedeutung gewinnen. Im Rahmen des Strukturwandels setzte sich in den vergangenen Jahren vor allem in Westdeutschland der Typus des sog. „erweiterten Familienbetriebes“ zunehmend durch. Dieser Betriebsform werden gute Zukunftschancen im internationalen Wettbewerb eingeräumt, da erweiterte Familienbetriebe die klassische, in der Landwirtschaft dominierende Familienarbeitsverfassung mit einer Lohnarbeitsverfassung kombinieren, um Größenvorteile zu realisieren. Welche Erfolgsfaktoren die betriebliche Wettbewerbsfähigkeit in der Landwirtschaft beeinflussen, ist nicht abschließend erforscht. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht der vorliegende Beitrag mögliche Determinanten der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit erweiterter Familienbetriebe auf Grundlage einer empirischen Befragung von 103 landwirtschaftlichen Betriebsleitern. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Erfolg dieses Betriebstypus nicht alleine auf die Realisierung von naturwissenschaftlich-technischen Größenvorteilen zurückzuführen ist, sondern insbesondere durch die Betriebsleiterpersönlichkeit sowie die Strategiewahl beeinflusst wird. Due to an intensifying competition, gaining and sustaining competitive advantages have become increasingly important for family farms in recent years. In the course of general structural changes in agriculture, so-called “extended family farms” have emerged as a predominant form of farming businesses in many, mainly western parts of Germany. Through combining traditional family-labour-based governance structures with additional non-family labour, extended family farms can realize economies of scale. Thus, they are often considered a sustainable type of organisation that is able to cope with international competition. So far existing research has not fully explored the factors determining the competitiveness of extended family farms. Against this background, this article analyzes potential determinants of competitiveness of extended family farms on the basis of a survey of 103 farm managers. The empirical results show that the success of the farms surveyed is not only based on the realization of technical economies of scale, but also on the personality of the farm managers and the strategies implemented.

description: The exchange stiffness of magnetic materials is one of the essential parameters governing magnetic texture and its dynamics in magnetic devices. The effect of single-element doping on exchange stiffness has been investigated for several doping elements for permalloy (NiFe alloy), a soft magnetic material whose soft magnetic properties can be controlled by doping. However, the impact of more practical multi-element doping on the exchange stiffness of permalloy is unknown. This study investigates the typical magnetic properties, including exchange stiffness, of permalloy systematically co-doped with Mo and Cu using broadband ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. We find that the exchange stiffness, which decreases with increasing doping levels, is proportional to a power of magnetization, which also decreases with increasing doping levels. The magnetization, $M_{\rm s}$, dependence of the exchange stiffness constant, $A$, of all the investigated samples, irrespective of the doping levels of each element, lies on a single curve expressed as $A\propto M_{\rm s}^n$ with exponent $n$ close to 2. This empirical power-law relationship provides a guideline for predicting unknown exchange stiffness in non-magnetic element-doped permalloy systems.

description: Several semi-analytic models (SAMs) try to explain how galaxies form, evolve and interact inside the dark matter large-scale structure. These SAMs can be tested by comparing their predictions for galaxy-galaxy-galaxy-lensing (G3L), which is weak gravitational lensing around galaxy pairs, with observations. We evaluate the SAMs by Henriques et al. (2015; H15) and by Lagos et al. (2012; L12), implemented in the Millennium Run, by comparing their predictions for G3L to observations at smaller scales than previous studies and also for pairs of lens galaxies from different populations. We compare the G3L signal predicted by the SAMs to measurements in the overlap of the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey (GAMA), the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), and the VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy survey (VIKING), splitting lens galaxies into two colour and five stellar-mass samples. Using an improved G3L estimator, we measure the three-point correlation of the matter distribution for mixed lens pairs with galaxies from different samples, and unmixed lens pairs with galaxies from the same sample. Predictions by the H15 SAM agree with the observations for all colour-selected and all but one stellar-mass-selected sample with 95% confidence. Deviations occur for lenses with stellar masses below $9.5h^{-2}\mathrm{M}_\odot$ at scales below $0.2h^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}$. Predictions by the L12 SAM for stellar-mass selected samples and red galaxies are significantly higher than observed, while the predicted signal for blue galaxy pairs is too low. The L12 SAM predicts more pairs of small stellar-mass and red galaxies than the H15 SAM and the observations, as well as fewer pairs of blue galaxies. Likely explanations are different treatments of environmental effects by the SAMs and different models of the initial mass function. We conclude that G3L provides a stringent test for models of galaxy formation and evolution.

description: Expressions for the number of moduli of arbitrary SU(n) vector bundles constructed via Fourier-Mukai transforms of spectral data over Calabi- Yau threefolds are derived and presented. This is done within the context of simply connected, elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds with base Fr, but the methods have wider applicability. The condition for a vector bundle to possess the minimal number of moduli for fixed r and n is discussed and an explicit formula for the minimal number of moduli is presented. In addition, transition moduli for small instanton phase transitions involving non-positive spectral covers are defined, enumerated and given a geometrical interpretation.

description: Demographische Studien zeigen, dass sich die Zahl der älteren Menschen in Wien in den kommenden Jahrzehnten verdoppeln wird. Die Integration dieser gesellschaftlichen Gruppe gewinnt daher an Stellenwert. Gemeinschaftliches Wohnen bietet eine Möglichkeit, ein Wohnumfeld mit nachbarschaftlichem Halt aufzubauen, in dem Menschen lange selbstbestimmt leben können. Räumliche Anstöße, die soziale Interaktion zulassen, sowie gemeinschaftliche Einrichtungen sind entscheidende Faktoren für die Schaffung eines sozial nachhaltigen Wohnumfeldes. Die Studie zu drei ausgewählten sozialen Wohnbauprojekten in Wien beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob und wie Architektur soziale Interaktion auslösen kann. Weiters wird untersucht, ob Gemeinschaftsräume angemessen auf die Bedürfnisse und Wünsche der älteren Generation eingehen. Interviews mit Bewohnern dieser Projekte zeigen, welche architektonischen Elemente in Bezug auf die Schaffung nachhaltiger sozialer Strukturen die effektivsten sind. Resultate der Studie zeigen einige räumliche Elemente auf, die für die Bewohner von Bedeutung sind: Die Anordnung der Wohnungen in Bezug zu gemeinschaftlich genutzten Flächen, Sichtbeziehungen zwischen privaten und semi-privaten Bereichen, die Vermeidung von Maisonetten und somit der Exklusion bestimmter Nutzergruppen, und die Platzierung gemeinschaftlicher Einrichtungen im Erdgeschoß auf Grund besserer Orientierung. Diese konkreten Ergebnisse werden anschließend in einem Entwurf eines integrativen Wohnquartiers in Wien umgesetzt.
description: Demographic forecasts show that the population of elderly people in Vienna will double in the coming decades. The integration of this social demographic is starting to become crucial to urban planning. Community-living can be one approach, creating an environment with neighborly support, where elderly residents can live a self-determined life for as long as possible. Spatial incentives leading to social interaction as well as community facilities are vital factors for a sustainable social environment. Three case studies from subsidized housing in Vienna are analyzed to show how architecture can cause social interaction. The question is posed whether common rooms respond adequately to the older generation´s needs and desires. From interviews with residents architectural elements that are most effective in creating sustainable social structures can be deduced. Results of the study show spatial elements that are of utmost importance to residents: arrangement of apartments in relation to common space, view axes between private and semi-private areas, avoidance of duplex-apartments excluding particular user groups, and arrangement of community facilities on the ground floor for better orientation. A design proposal for an integrative housing quarter in Vienna implements these concrete outcomes.

description: A method for determining the internal DC magnetic field inside a superconducting cavity is presented. The method relies on the relationship between magnetic field and frequency of the Kittel mode of a ferrimagnetic sphere, hybridised in the dispersive regime of the superconducting cavity. Results were used to experimentally determine the level of screening a superconducting Nb cavity provides as it changes from perfect diamagnetism to no screening. Two cavity geometries were tested, a cylinder and single post re-entrant cavity. Both demonstrated a consistent value of field that enters the cavity, expected to be the superheating critical field. Hysteresis in the screened field during ramp up and ramp down of the external magnetic field due to trapped vortices was also observed. Some abnormal behaviour was observed in the cylindrical cavity in the form of plateaus in the internal field above the first critical field, and we discuss the potential origin of this behaviour. The measurement approach would be a useful diagnostic for axion dark matter searches, which plan on using superconducting materials but need to know precisely the internal magnetic field.
