description: „Mikrokreditfonds sind recht sicher“, eröffnete Mikrokredit-Guru Muhammad Yunus nach dem Ausbruch der Wirtschaftskrise im Herbst 2008 potentiellen Anlegern. Die Forschungsabteilung der Deutschen Bank sieht weltweit einen potentiellen Markt mit einem Volumen von 250 Milliarden Dollar. Ein Markt, der zunehmend auch für private und institutionelle Anleger unter dem Aspekt der Rendite interessant wird. „Nach Abzug der Kosten“, so Muhammad Yunus im Interview mit einer Schweizer Anlegerzeitung, „sollten die Renditen nicht höher als zehn Prozent sein, 15 Prozent sind gerade noch tolerierbar.“ Kreditnehmer sind die Ärmsten der Armen weltweit. Ihnen soll damit aus dem Elend geholfen werden, so heißt es. „Rendite mit gutem Gewissen“ lautet die Anlegermaxime. Aber diese Rechnung geht nicht auf. Zum Beispiel in Indien, wo es mehr als elf Millionen Kreditnehmer und Kreditnehmerinnen gibt.

description: Die Sicherheitslage im Stammesgebiet von Bajaur, die durch die siebenmonatige Periode der Militäroperationen und der Zusammenstöße zwischen Sicherheitskräften und Militanten schwer beeinträchtigt gewesen war, hat sich nach dem von den Militanten einseitig am 20. Februar ausgerufenen Waffenstillstand sowie durch das darauf folgende Friedensabkommen zwischen der Verwaltung und den Stammesältesten rasch normalisiert. Die Stammesangehörigen waren letztlich die Opfer dieser monatelangen Kämpfe im Grenzgebiet zur bergigen Provinz Kunar im Nachbarland Afghanistan. Zahlreiche Städte und Dörfer wurden völlig zerstört und ca. 500 000 der 900 000 Stammesangehörigen suchten Schutz in den niedriger gelegenen Bezirken.

description: Synthetic ladders realized with one-dimensional alkaline-earth(-like) fermionic gases and subject to a gauge field represent a promising environment for the investigation of quantum Hall physics with ultracold atoms. Using density-matrix renormalization group calculations, we study how the quantum Hall-like chiral edge currents are affected by repulsive atom-atom interactions. We relate the properties of such currents to the asymmetry of the spin resolved momentum distribution function, a quantity which is easily addressable in state-of-art experiments. We show that repulsive interactions significantly stabilize the quantum Hall-like helical region and enhance the chiral currents. Our numerical simulations are performed for atoms with two and three internal spin states.

description: Rahman Baba (1663?-1739?) ist der wohl bekannteste und beliebteste afghanische Sufi-Dichter. Der Anschlag auf seinen Schrein in Peschawar am 5. März ist der letzte traurige Höhepunkt einer seit Jahren anhaltenden Serie von Anschlägen islamistischer Radikaler auf historische Mausoleen. Die historische Anlage, seit vielen Jahren ein Zentrum der Auseinandersetzungen zwischen einem mystisch geprägten Volksislam und den islamistischen Puristen, wurde schwer beschädigt. Die Radikalen hatten seit Jahren gefordert, Frauen den Zugang zum Grabmal zu versperren und den Qawali-Gesang zu verbieten. Rochsana Soraya sprach mit dem afghanischen Journalisten und Literaturkritiker Mohammad Zarin Anzor über Leben und Werk des Volksdichters.

description: We use the GALFORM semi-analytical model to study high density regions traced by radio galaxies and quasars at high redshifts. We explore the impact that baryonic physics has upon the properties of galaxies in these environments. Star-forming emission-line galaxies (Lyα and Hα emitters) are used to probe the environments at high redshifts. Radio galaxies are predicted to be hosted by more massive haloes than quasars, and this is imprinted on the amplitude of galaxy overdensities and cross-correlation functions. We find that Lyα radiative transfer and AGN feedback indirectly affect the clustering on small scales and also the stellar masses, star- formation rates and gas metallicities of galaxies in dense environments. We also investigate the relation between protoclusters associated with radio galaxies and quasars, and their present- day cluster descendants. The progenitors of massive clusters associated with radio galaxies and quasars allow us to determine an average protocluster size in a simple way. Overdensities within the protoclusters are found to correlate with the halo descendant masses. We present scaling relations that can be applied to observational data. By computing projection effects due to the wavelength resolution of modern spectrographs and narrow-band filters we show that the former have enough spectral resolution to map the structure of protoclusters, whereas the latter can be used to measure the clustering around radio galaxies and quasars over larger scales to determine the mass of dark matter haloes hosting them.

description: In Afghanistan ist die Zahl der Entführungen im letzten Jahr dramatisch gestiegen. Nur für einen kleinen Teil der Taten sind die Taliban verantwortlich. Hinter einer Mehrheit der Fälle stehen kriminelle Banden, die von Politikern und Polizei gedeckt werden. Im letzten Jahr haben Entführungen von ausländischen Journalisten und Helfern in Afghanistan weltweit Aufmerksamkeit erregt. Selbst die einst relativ sichere Hauptstadt Kabul ist für Ausländer zu einem heißen Pflaster geworden. Am gefährdetsten sind jedoch die Afghanen selbst. In den Medien wird kaum darüber berichtet, doch die Zahl der verschleppten Einheimischen ist im letzten Jahr dramatisch gestiegen. Offizielle Statistiken gibt es keine. Nach Angaben eines Mitarbeiters des Innenministeriums sind in den ersten sechs Monaten 2008 über 175 Personen entführt worden, was einer Verdoppelung im Vergleich zum Vorjahr entspricht. Die Dunkelziffer dürfte freilich um ein Vielfaches höher liegen, da die meisten Fälle gar nie gemeldet werden.

description: It has recently been shown by Yang. et. al. [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 87}, 041502(R) (2013)] that rotating Kerr black holes are characterized by two distinct sets of quasinormal resonances. These two families of quasinormal resonances display qualitatively different asymptotic behaviors in the extremal ($a/M\to 1$) black-hole limit: The zero-damping modes (ZDMs) are characterized by relaxation times which tend to infinity in the extremal black-hole limit ($\Imω\to 0$ as $a/M\to 1$), whereas the damped modes (DMs) are characterized by non-zero damping rates ($\Imω\to$ finite-values as $a/M\to 1$). In this paper we refute the claim made by Yang et. al. that co-rotating DMs of near-extremal black holes are restricted to the limited range $0\leq μ\lesssimμ_{\text{c}}\approx 0.74$, where $μ\equiv m/l$ is the dimensionless ratio between the azimuthal harmonic index $m$ and the spheroidal harmonic index $l$ of the perturbation mode. In particular, we use an analytical formula originally derived by Detweiler in order to prove the existence of DMs (damped quasinormal resonances which are characterized by finite $\Imω$ values in the $a/M\to 1$ limit) of near-extremal black holes in the $μ>μ_{\text{c}}$ regime, the regime which was claimed by Yang et. al. not to contain damped modes. We show that these co-rotating DMs (in the regime $μ>μ_{\text{c}}$) are expected to characterize the resonance spectra of rapidly-rotating (near-extremal) black holes with $a/M\gtrsim 1-10^{-9}$.

description: This study investigates how the query suggestions of two commercial Web search engines change over time. The study was based on manually collected query suggestion data for 50 seed queries from Google and Bing in a two-week period. Several measures were used to analyze data which were basic statistics, change rate, change patterns, change frequency, and patterns of query reformulations. Results indicated the query suggestions of commercial Web search engines changed regularly. The circles of change is determined by the search engines themselves. Moreover, in terms of patterns of query reformulation, query suggestions provided a large amount of specialized queries. The results also revealed that the most common change patterns of query suggestion lists were order change and query substitution.

description: This paper compares traditional letter and email correspondence sent to the Reference Department at Duke University's Perkins Library to analyze the effects of email on reference correspondence. A random sample was taken from traditional letter correspondence from 1962 to 1978 and email correspondence from 2000 to 2003. The analysis focuses on the changes in demographics, content, and interactions revealed in the two types of correspondence. The study finds that email has significantly affected academic reference service. The statistics for gender, location, and affiliation of correspondents have significantly changed. The content of reference correspondence has also been altered as email questions have become more limited in scope than questions posed in traditional letters. The types of interactions between correspondents and reference librarians have not significantly changed with the use of email. Academic institutions should expect increased demands for remote reference assistance. By building on the lessons of the past, librarians can create an email service where people can ask questions, be treated with respect, and be given access to information with the use of appropriate resources.

description: We construct a two-dimensional action that is an extension of spherically symmetric Einstein-Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. The action contains arbitrary functions of the areal radius and the norm squared of its gradient, but the field equations are second order and obey Birkhoff's theorem. In complete analogy with spherically symmetric Einstein-Lanczos-Lovelock gravity, the field equations admit the generalized Misner-Sharp mass as the first integral that determines the form of the vacuum solution. The arbitrary functions in the action allow for vacuum solutions that describe a larger class of interesting nonsingular black-hole spacetimes than previously available.

description: Titanium trisulfide (TiS3) has recently attracted the interest of the 2D community as it presents a direct bandgap of ~1.0 eV, shows remarkable photoresponse, and has a predicted carrier mobility up to 10000 cm2V-1 s-1. However, a study of the vibrational properties of TiS3, relevant to understanding the electron-phonon interaction which can be the main mechanism limiting the charge carrier mobility, is still lacking. In this work, we take the first steps to study the vibrational properties of TiS3 through temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy measurements of TiS3 nanoribbons and nanosheets. Our investigation shows that all the Raman modes linearly soften (red shift) as the temperature increases from 88 K to 570 K, due to the anharmonic vibrations of the lattice which also includes contributions from the lattice thermal expansion. This softening with the temperature of the TiS3 modes is more pronounced than that observed in other 2D semiconductors such as MoS2, MoSe2, WSe2 or black phosphorus (BP). This marked temperature dependence of the Raman could be exploited to determine the temperature of TiS3 nanodevices by using Raman spectroscopy as a non-invasive and local thermal probe. Interestingly, the TiS3 nanosheets show a stronger temperature dependence of the Raman modes than the nanoribbons, which we attribute to a lower interlayer coupling in the nanosheets.

Information seeking

description: Collaborative information seeking (CIS) has gained greater attention in recent years. While most of the previous research and systems design have been done with the individual information seeker in mind, it has become apparent that there is a greater need to study the information seeking practices of groups. This study is focused on the information-seeking practices of undergraduate students. These students were invited to participate in a survey asking about the last time they participated in collaborative information seeking. They were asked detailed questions about this event to get a better understanding of the CIS process. The study found that undergraduate students, while a different population than what is studied in much of the current CIS literature, has similar needs, difficulties, and processes as other populations.

description: This exploratory study examines the image seeking and use behaviors of graduate history students. Informal interviews with six graduate students answered the primary questions directing this study: What role do images play for graduate history students? What are their methods and motives for image retrieval? Are there opportunities for outreach by visual resource specialists and other information professionals to serve this population better? Graduate history students primarily used images in teaching and research roles, but the visual literacy methods varied between the two roles. Participants expressed the most confusion over image indexing and showed interest in learning more about how to find images. Because of the exploratory nature, this study provides suggestions (instead of conclusions) of how to serve this population. Lastly, since research concerning image seeking behavior is limited, suggestions for further study are also included.

description: Equilibrium is characterized by its fundamental properties such as the detailed balance, the fluctuation-dissipation relation, and no heat dissipation. Based on the stochastic thermodynamics, we show that these three properties are equivalent to each other in conventional Langevin thermal systems with microscopic reversibility. Thus, a conventional steady state has either all three properties (equilibrium) or none of them (nonequilibrium). In contrast, with velocity-dependent forces breaking the microscopic reversibility, we prove that the detailed balance and the fluctuation-dissipation relation mutually exclude each other and no equivalence relation is possible between any two of the three properties. This implies that a steady state of Langevin systems with velocity-dependent forces may maintain some equilibrium properties but not all of them. Our results are illustrated with a few example systems.

description: This study describes a content analysis of archival MARC records conducted to detect the presence or absence of topical subject and form/genre terms taken from each collection's finding aid.  The analysis measures the extent to which some archivists adapt information from finding aids for input into MARC records.  Archival standards are discussed, as well as problems found to impede the process of manuscript cataloging using MARC.  A sampling of topical subject and all form/genre terms were taken from twenty finding aids.  After a search of the corresponding MARC records, less than half of the chosen topical terms were found.  Additionally, only 43% of the form/genre terms were found in corresponding MARC records, suggesting that cataloging practice is not representing this information from finding aids well.

description: Software is everywhere. The increasing requirement of supporting a wide variety of domains has rapidly increased the complexity of software systems, making them hard to maintain and the training process harder for end-users, which in turn ultimately demanded the development of user-friendly application software with simple interfaces that makes them easy, especially for non-professional personnel, to employ, and interact with. However, due to the lack of source code access for third-party software and the lack of non-graphical interfaces such as web-services or RMI (Remote Method Invocation) access to application functionality, synchronization between heterogeneous closed-box software interfaces and a user-friendly version of those interfaces has become a major challenge. In this paper, we design SINk, a middleware that enables synchronization of multiple heterogeneous software applications, using only graphical interface, without the need for source code access or access to the entire platform's control. SINk helps with synchronization of closed-box industry software, where in fact the only possible way of communication is through software interfaces. It leverages efficient client sever architecture, socket based protocol, adaptation to resolution changes, and parameter mapping mechanisms to transfer control events to ensure the real-time requirements of synchronization among multiple interfaces are met. Our proof-of-concept evaluation shows there is in fact potential usage of our middleware in a wide variety of domains.

description: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science (SILS) web site has existed in its current form for almost three years while web design has evolved from more simple design practices of the late 1990's, leaving the current web site dated in terms of usability and visual design. The current SILS web site draws verbal complaints from many users although little qualitative data and no concrete quantitative data has been collected regarding problems with the current site, or any previous iteration of the SILS web site. This usability study was designed to analyze the current site and identify major issues so that a more user-centric site may be developed to replace the current one. As well, it will for the first time record quantitative data on the SILS web site and establish benchmark measures that future iterative designs can be compared against. This study was designed along the guidelines of two major usability experts - Jeffrey Rubin and Jakob Nielsen - to be a quick, inexpensive and effective method of evaluating a web site design.

description: Cosmic-ray-muon spallation-induced radioactive isotopes with $β$ decays are one of the major backgrounds for solar, reactor, and supernova relic neutrino experiments. Unlike in scintillator, production yields for cosmogenic backgrounds in water have not been exclusively measured before, yet they are becoming more and more important in next generation neutrino experiments designed to search for rare signals. We have analyzed the low-energy trigger data collected at Super-Kamiokande-IV in order to determine the production rates of $^{12}$B, $^{12}$N, $^{16}$N, $^{11}$Be, $^9$Li, $^8$He, $^9$C, $^8$Li, $^8$B and $^{15}$C. These rates were extracted from fits to time differences between parent muons and subsequent daughter $β$'s by fixing the known isotope lifetimes. Since $^9$Li can fake an inverse-beta-decay reaction chain via a $β+ n$ cascade decay, producing an irreducible background with detected energy up to a dozen MeV, a dedicated study is needed for evaluating its impact on future measurements; the application of a neutron tagging technique using correlated triggers was found to improve this $^9$Li measurement. The measured yields were generally found to be comparable with theoretical calculations, except the cases of the isotopes $^8$Li/$^8$B and $^9$Li.

description: We study the phenomenon of the "walking droplet", by means of numerical fluid dynamics simulations using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics numerical method. This phenomenon occurs when a millimetric drop is released on the surface of an oil of the same composition, contained in a tank and subjected to vertical oscillations of frequency and amplitude very close to the Faraday instability threshold. At appropriate values of the parameters of the system under study, the oil droplet jumps permanently on the surface of the vibrating liquid forming a localized wave-particle system, reminding the behaviour of a wave particle quantum system as suggested by de Broglie. In our study, we made relevant simplifying assumptions, however we observe that the wave-drop coupling is surely obtained. Moreover, the droplet and the wave travel at nearly constant velocity, as observed in experiments. These facts suggest that the phenomenon may occur in many contexts and opens the possibility to study it in an extremely wide range of physical configurations.

Manuscripts--History

description: This study addresses the growing field of "Digital Humanities," specifically a subset of  this field which makes use of digital geospatial technologies to represent historical events  and places. The study explores literature surrounding the Digital Humanities in general,  the involvement and collaboration of historians and archives in the Digital Humanities,  and new possibilities afforded by the use of digital tools for engaging with the historical.  Literature surrounding the use of Geographic Information Systems for history-focused  digital projects is also reviewed. Three digital history projects with geospatial  components are then examined as case studies: Digital Harlem, Going to the Show, and  PhilaPlace. By examining similarities and differences between these projects, this study  seeks to draw general inferences about current practices within this new approach to  representing historical knowledge.

description: Open source software (OSS) development has become increasingly popular among companies. Examples even include former opponents of OSS such as Microsoft. The active involvement of companies in OSS development leads to a growing overlap between OSS communities and companies. Different organizational forms, cultures, norms, ideologies, and practices all come in contact with each other. For example, the voluntary character of OSS contributions and the ideal of free sharing in OSS communities may complicate business activities of companies. This presenter symposium is motivated by several questions stemming from or related to the overlap between firms involved in OSS development and OSS communities or individual OSS developers. It brings together several scholars studying different aspects of company-involved OSS development and the intersection between communities and companies. The papers to be presented in the symposium focus on both companies (i.e., organizations) as well as individual software developers as the unit of analysis. By focusing on individual software developers, we tackle questions regarding the relationship between software developers’ work at their jobs and their (voluntary) activities in online communities (Paper presentation 1); as well as the characteristics of so-called star developers, especially their connection to community and company (Paper presentation 2). By focusing on the company as the unit of analysis, we look at the organizational conditions and challenges in order to comfort collaboration between companies and communities (Paper presentation 3); and the hybridity of organizations (Paper presentation 4).
To What Extent Does Domain Knowledge Influence Search Stopping Behavior?

Search satisfaction

description: Recently, search stopping behavior has gained attention from researchers. The purpose of the present research study was to investigate if users' level of domain knowledge influenced when they chose to end a search for information. The topic of stopping behavior was investigated using a convenience sample of 15 third-and fourth-year undergraduate students at a large university. This study investigated how users' level of domain knowledge influenced their decisions to stop information searches. Subjects were asked to complete four search task in which their completion time was measured. Subjects also completed questionnaires about their experiences and participated in an exit interview. The results of the study indicated that there was not an association between knowledge level and stopping behavior. However, the results of the study indicated there was a correlation between levels of domain knowledge and levels of interest in domains. There was also a strong correlation between the subjects' satisfaction with the search process and the retrieved results. Lastly, there was a negative correlation between the subjects' level of domain knowledge and their task times.

description: We consider the infinite horizon risk-sensitive problem for nondegenerate diffusions with a compact action space, and controlled through the drift. We only impose a structural assumption on the running cost function, namely near-monotonicity, and show that there always exists a solution to the risk-sensitive Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, and that any minimizer in the Hamiltonian is optimal in the class of stationary Markov controls. Under the additional hypothesis that the coefficients of the diffusion are bounded, and satisfy a condition that limits (even though it still allows) transient behavior, we show that any minimizer in the Hamiltonian is optimal in the class of all admissible controls. In addition, we present a sufficient condition, under which the solution of the HJB is unique (up to a multiplicative constant), and establish the usual verification result. We also present some new results concerning the multiplicative Poisson equation for elliptic operators in $\mathbb{R}^d$.

The Lambert-W step-potential - an exactly solvable confluent hypergeometric potential
Creators: name: Ishkhanyan, A. M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an asymmetric step-barrier potential for which the one-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equation is exactly solved in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The potential is given in terms of the Lambert -function, which is an implicitly elementary function also known as the product logarithm. We present the general solution of the problem and consider the quantum reflection at transmission of a particle above this potential barrier. Compared with the abrupt-step and hyperbolic tangent potentials, which are reproduced by the Lambert potential in certain parameter and/or variable variation regions, the reflection coefficient is smaller because of the lesser steepness of the potential on the particle incidence side. Presenting the derivation of the Lambert potential we show that this is a four-parametric sub-potential of a more general five-parametric one also solvable in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The latter potential, however, is a conditionally integrable one. Finally, we show that there exists one more potential the solution for which is written in terms of the derivative of a bi-confluent Heun function.

description: Lack of a consistent metric for generating rotating wormholes motivates us to present a new one endowed with interesting physical and geometrical properties. When combined with the generalized method of superposition of fields, which consists in attaching a form of matter to each moving frame, it generates massive and charged (charge without charge) two-fluid-sourced, massive and two-charged three-fluid-sourced, rotating as well as new static wormholes which, otherwise, can hardly be derived by integration. If the lapse function of the static wormhole is bounded from above, no closed timelike curves occur in the rotating counterpart. For positive energy densities dying out faster than $1/r$, the angular velocity includes in its expansion a correction term, to the leading one that corresponds to ordinary stars, proportional to $\ln r/r^4$. Such a term is not present in the corresponding expansion for the Kerr-Newman black hole. Based on this observation and our previous work, the dragging effects of falling neutral objects may constitute a substitute for other known techniques used for testing the nature of the rotating black hole candidates that are harbored in the center of galaxies. We discuss the possibility of generating ($n+1$)-fluid-sourced, $n$-charged, rotating as well as static wormholes.
