description: The magnetic fields of the Sun and other solar-type stars manifest in a range of observable surface phenomena that provide insight into the magnetic dynamos operating within, but also hamper the detection of exoplanets. This thesis uses spectropolarimetric observations to study the connection between magnetic fields and surface activity for solar-type stars, learn about solar and stellar dynamos, their dependence on stellar properties and evolution. It also determines realistic detection thresholds for exoplanets orbiting the most magnetically active, young solar analogues. The body of work includes the largest survey to date of contemporaneous magnetic field strengths and chromospheric activity measurements for∼ 1000 late F- to early M-type dwarf stars. For F, K and M stars the mean chromospheric activity level declines fairly smoothly with decreasing mean magnetic field strength, whereas G stars show a more complex relationship suggestive of a change in dynamo properties around the middle of the main sequence. For two stars, the mature F7V star HD 75332 and the young, extremely-active G2V star V889 Her, long-term variations in the large-scale magnetic field structure and surface activity are analysed in detail. A rapid 1.06yr solar-like magnetic cycle is observed for HD 75332, whereas V889 Her shows possible 3−4yr solar-like magnetic fluctuations but no solar-like magnetic cycle. These results show for the first time that organised magnetic dynamos can operate within young solar-type stars, as well as in mature stars. Using V889 Her as a test case for the radial velocity detection of exoplanets around extremely active solar-mass stars, we determine that Jupiter-mass planets could be detected in a ≤ 8 d orbit if Doppler Imaging is used to filter the impacts of stellar activity. Overall, this thesis provides new observational constraints on the magnetic dynamos operating within both young and mature solar-type stars, and insight into the possible early history of the Sun’s dynamo by proxy. Practical recommendations, such as an ideal observing strategy of nightly observations spanning a few months, are provided to improve the capability of detecting exoplanets orbiting young solar analogues, which is a step toward the discovery of young planetary systems similar to our own solar system during its infancy.

description: We show that a light charged Higgs boson signal via $τ^\pmν$ decay can be established at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) also in the case of single top production. This process complements searches for the same signal in the case of charged Higgs bosons emerging from $t \bar t$ production. The models accessible include the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well a variety of 2-Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs). High energies and luminosities are however required, thereby restricting interest on this mode to the case of the LHC running at 14 TeV with design configuration.

description: Fire is a major hazard in built environments. Fires in buildings cause fatalities, serious injuries and tremendous damage. Most fires can be extinguished in the early stages of the fire’s development, with the right equipment and correct use of the equipment. However, as there can be as little as a few minutes between a fire starting and very dire consequences, rapid and correct responses are critical. Implementing effective training solutions is necessary to enable members of the public, who are not experts in fire safety, to use a fire extinguisher correctly. This can assist to build resilience to fires. In recent decades, virtual reality (VR) has aroused the fire safety community’s attention, as a smart, safe and effective training method compared to the traditional methods of lectures, non-interactive videos, and brochures. VR has been used for training for fire emergency preparedness and to collect data about evacuee decision-making, but VR has rarely been applied to a fully immersive training experience about fire extinguishers operation steps. Fire extinguisher operation steps are Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep. Each step is critical to quickly extinguish a fire. This paper compares fire extinguisher training using a VR simulation with a non-interactive training video and evaluates the trainees learning of a fire extinguisher’s basic operation steps, in terms of knowledge acquisition, retention of information and change of self-efficacy. The results showed that the VR trainees scored better than video trainees, in terms of knowledge acquisition, even if the same trend was observed for long term retention of information. It was also observed that VR training provided a higher increment of self-efficacy right after the training. The VR group participants had maintained the same level of self-efficacy even 3–4 weeks after the training, while the video group had shown a significant drop of self-efficacy.

description: A general technique of exact calculation of any correlation functions for the special class of one-dimensional spin models containing small clusters of quantum spins assembled to a chain by alternating with the single Ising spins is proposed. The technique is a natural generalization of that in the models solved by a classical transfer matrix. The general expressions for corresponding matrix operators which are the key components of the technique are obtained. As it is clear from the general principles, the decay of the correlation functions of various types is explicitly shown to be governed by a single correlation length. The technique is illustrated by two examples: symmetric diamond chain and asymmetric sawtooth chain.

description: With a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry being imposed, we introduce a real singlet scalar $S$ to the Higgs triplet model with the motivation of explaining the tentative evidence for a spectral feature at $E_γ$ = 130 GeV in the Fermi LAT data. The model can naturally satisfy the experimental constraints of the dark matter relic density and direct detection data from Xenon100. The doubly charged and one charged scalars can enhance the annihilation cross section of $SS\toγγ$ via the one-loop contributions, and give the negligible contributions to the relic density. $_{SS\toγγ}$ for $m_{S}=130$ GeV can reach $\ord(1)\times10^{-27} cm^3 s^{-1}$ for the small charged scalar masses and the coupling constant of larger than 1. Besides, this model also predict a second photon peak at 114 GeV from the annihilation $SS\toγZ$, and the cross section is approximately 0.76 times that of $SS\toγγ$, which is below the upper limit reported by Fermi LAT. Finally, the light charged scalars can enhance LHC diphoton Higgs rate, and make it to be consistent with the experimental data reported by ATLAS and CMS.

description: We discuss a novel mechanism to set up a gravity dual of FFLO states in strongly coupled superconductors. The gravitational theory utilizes two U(1) gauge fields and a scalar field coupled to a charged AdS black hole. The first gauge field couples with the scalar sourcing a charge condensate below a critical temperature, and the second gauge field provides a coupling to spin in the boundary theory. The scalar is neutral under the second gauge field. By turning on an interaction between the Einstein tensor and the scalar, it is shown that, in the low temperature limit, an inhomogeneous solution possesses a higher critical temperature than the homogeneous case, giving rise to FFLO states.

description: This paper describes two city centre regeneration strategies by reviewing existing literature and carrying out case study analysis to examine the approaches to City Centre Regeneration (CCR) pursued by two provincial areas in New Zealand. Findings from the exploratory case study analysis of the two examined cities revealed different approaches to CCR: (i) Invercargill – ‘demolition for redevelopment’; and (ii) Whanganui – ‘heritage preservation for regeneration’. Whereas the earthquake-prone building legislation has created logical arguments that have put earthquake-prone historical buildings in the spotlight for demolition in areas with weaker attachment to place, the same legislation has been used as a catalyst to provide opportunities for the seismic upgrade and preservation of the earthquake-prone historical buildings in areas with a stronger attachment to place. These discoveries imply that the actions (or inactions) of councils shape the way their communities perceive the value of the historical buildings in their city centres. Also, the decreasing retention and increasing demolitions trends of heritage buildings in New Zealand's provincial city centres as a result of the earthquake-prone building legislation, have now triggered discussions that have contributed to the recent regulatory and financial incentives initiated by the central government to address the unintended consequences of the legislation on the vitality of provincial areas.
title: Wirtschaftsfaktor Fußball
Creators: name: Dania, Lena
Year: 2023

description: Durch die voranschreitende Kommerzialisierung im Fußball entwickelt sich dieser Sport zu einem relevanten Wirtschaftsfaktor. Diese Veränderung bringt vermehrt Kritik sowie negative Auswirkungen mit sich. Insbesondere der Profifußball ist eine von Korruption, Betrug und weiteren unmoralischen Tätigkeiten geprägte Branche. Ziele dieser Masterarbeit sind das Aufzeigen dieser wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen und die Darstellung ethischer Probleme, die durch die Kommerzialisierung im Profifußball entstehen. Für diese Auseinandersetzung werden Enthüllungen von Football Leaks herangezogen, die mit ethischen Aspekten in Verbindung gebracht werden. Die Fälle veranschaulichen Gegebenheiten, die im Profifußball auftreten, wie etwa Steuerhinterziehungen oder unmoralische Geschäfte mit jungen Talenten. Damit gehen ethische Probleme, wie etwa das Wachstum an Korruption und Bestechung sowie der Verstoß gegen die Fairness oder Chancengleichheit, die wesentliche Bedingungen für den Sport darstellen, einher. Diese Entwicklungen benötigen Maßnahmen, die zukünftig einen ethisch vertretbaren Um- gang mit Sport als einem wachsenden Wirtschaftsfaktor gewährleisten. In dieser Masterarbeit können einige davon, wie beispielsweise die Etablierung von Verhaltens- und Ethikkodexen, die frühzeitige Vermittlung von ethischen Werten, weitere Korruptionspräventionen sowie strengere Kontrollen und Regelungen, aufgezeigt werden.
description: Due to the advancing commercialization in soccer, this sport is developing into an econom- ically relevant factor. This transformation is increasingly criticized and causes various neg- ative consequences. Professional football in particular is an industry coined by corruption, fraud and further immoral actions. This master’s thesis intends to illustrate these economic developments as well as the ethical issues that result from the commercialization in soccer. In this context revelations by Football Leaks are analyzed and then associated with ethical aspects. These cases illustrate circumstances that occur in professional football, such as tax evasion or unethical deals with young talents. Ethical issues, such as an increase of corruption and bribery as well as of violations concerning fairness or equality of opportunity, which are regarded as essential conditions for sport, accompany this progress. Hence, measures are required to ensure an ethically justifiable approach to sport as a growing economic factor in the future. Some of them, such as the establishment of codes of conduct and ethics, the early communication of ethical values, further prevention of corruption and stricter controls and regulations, are demonstrated in this master's thesis.

description: Beiträge zur Persönlichkeitsforschung an sich gibt es unzählige, doch es finden sich nur wenige, die den Zusammenhang zwischen der Persönlichkeit und den Lesegewohnheiten sowie Lesevorlieben untersuchen. Die Persönlichkeit lässt sich gut anhand des Big Five-Modells beschreiben (Ostendorf & Angleitner, 2004), welches sich aus folgenden Dimensionen zusammensetzt: Neurotizismus, Extraversion, Offenheit für Erfahrungen, Verträglichkeit und Gewissenhaftigkeit. Die Lesegewohnheiten setzen sich in dieser Arbeit aus der Lesemotivation, dem Erleben von Leseglück und den konkreten Lesegewohnheiten sowie Lesevorlieben zusammen. Lesemotivation entspringt hierbei mehreren Gründen, u.a. suchen Leser*innen Entspannung beim Lesen oder sie wollen sich weiterbilden (Bonfadelli, Fritz & Köcher, 1995). Je nach dem was der Grund des Lesens ist, sind auch die Lesegewohnheiten unterschiedlich. Leseglück wird öfters mit dem Erleben von Flow in Verbindung gebracht und beschreibt das völlige Aufgehen und Versinken in einer Tätigkeit. Studien zeigten, dass das Flow-Erlebnis bei Leser*innen stärker ausgeprägt ist als bei Nicht-Leser*innen (Noelle-Neumann, 1996). Lesegewohnheiten und Lesevorlieben finden ihre Grundsteinlegung bereits in der Kindheit und entwickeln sich, bis sie im frühen Erwachsenenalter recht stabile Formen annehmen (Lutz, 2003). Studien zeigten, dass mit höherer Bildung mehr gelesen, aber mit zunehmendem Alter weniger oft zum Buch gegriffen wird (u.a. Ruland, 1994), des Weiteren sagten die Dimensionen Offenheit für Erfahrungen und Gewissenhaftigkeit die Vorliebe für bestimmte Genres vorher, während die Dimension Neurotizismus ein Prädiktor für entspannendes (Freizeit-) Lesen ist (Schutte & Malouff, 2004). In der vorliegenden Studie wurden neben der Persönlichkeit anhand der Big Five auch die Lesegewohnheiten erhoben; zusätzlich wurden die Lesevorlieben sowie soziodemografische Daten erfasst. An der Studie nahmen 219 Personen teil, und die aufgestellten Hypothesen konnten zum Teil bestätigt werden: es wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Persönlichkeit und den Lesegewohnheiten bzw. Lesevorlieben gefunden. Zwischen dem bevorzugten Genre und der Skala Offenheit für Erfahrungen wurde ein signifikanter Zusammenhang festgestellt, wie auch mit dem Erleben von Leseglück/Flow. Außerdem wurden signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen der Skala Neurotizismus und dem entspannenden Freizeitlesen bzw. dem Nicht-Freizeitlesen gefunden.

description: Until recently, symbiotic binary systems in which a white dwarf accretes from a red giant were thought to be mainly a soft X-ray population. Here we describe the detection with the X-ray Telescope (XRT) on the Swift satellite of nine white dwarf symbiotics that were not previously known to be X-ray sources and one that had previously been detected as a supersoft X-ray source. The nine new X-ray detections were the result of a survey of 41 symbiotic stars, and they increase the number of symbiotic stars known to be X-ray sources by approximately 30%. The Swift/XRT telescope detected all of the new X-ray sources at energies greater than 2 keV. Their X-ray spectra are consistent with thermal emission and fall naturally into three distinct groups. The first group contains those sources with a single, highly absorbed hard component that we identify as probably coming from an accretion-disk boundary layer. The second group is composed of those sources with a single, soft X-ray spectral component that probably originates in a region where low-velocity shocks produce X-ray emission, i.e., a colliding-wind region. The third group consists of those sources with both hard and soft X-ray spectral components. We also find that unlike in the optical, where rapid, stochastic brightness variations from the accretion disk typically are not seen, detectable UV flickering is a common property of symbiotic stars. Supporting our physical interpretation of the two X-ray spectral components, simultaneous Swift UV photometry shows that symbiotic stars with harder X-ray emission tend to have stronger UV flickering, which is usually associated with accretion through a disk. To place these new observations in the context of previous work on X-ray emission from symbiotic star.............

description: Several properties of Eu:Y2SiO5 spectral holes are measured, to assess the suitability of broad-band hole-patterns for use as laser-frequency references. We measure frequency shifts due to magnetic fields, side-features of neighboring spectral holes, and changing optical probe power. A precise calibration of a temperature insensitive point is also performed, where the temperature-induced frequency shift is canceled to first order by the pressure-induced shift from the crystal's helium-gas environment.

description: This paper identifies the parameters for a performance-based framework to prioritise underutilised historical buildings for adaptive reuse interventions, while discussing its effectiveness towards promoting sustainable and resilient urban areas in New Zealand. A narrative review of extant literature is done to justify the need for the performance-based framework and build a list of relevant parameters that elucidates all or part of a typical decision-making process regarding the selection of historical buildings for adaptive reuse in New Zealand. Five main priority aspects with significant evaluation criteria that have been identified from this study are economic sustainability, built-heritage preservation, socio-cultural aspects, building usability, and regulatory aspects. This paper's originality pertains to the development of parameters for a performance-based framework that offers a basis for relevant adaptive reuse stakeholders to prioritise underutilised historical buildings while balancing their diverse objectives. Accordingly, the performance-based framework has been validated to justify the relevance of its applicability to the different outlined parameters, towards prioritising underutilised historical buildings for adaptive reuse in New Zealand.
Integrability as a consequence of discrete holomorphicity: the Z_N model

description: It has recently been established that imposing the condition of discrete holomorphicity on a lattice parafermionic observable leads to the critical Boltzmann weights in a number of lattice models. Remarkably, the solutions of these linear equations also solve the Yang-Baxter equations. We extend this analysis for the Z_N model by explicitly considering the condition of discrete holomorphicity on two and three adjacent rhombi. For two rhombi this leads to a quadratic equation in the Boltzmann weights and for three rhombi a cubic equation. The two-rhombus equation implies the inversion relations. The star-triangle relation follows from the three-rhombus equation. We also show that these weights are self-dual as a consequence of discrete holomorphicity.

description: The majority of lizard clades are ancestrally and predominantly diurnal. The only major taxon in which most species are nocturnal is the Gekkota (geckos and pygopodids). As ectothermic thermoregulators, lizard metabolic rates are highly temperature dependent, and diurnal lizards therefore demonstrate higher metabolic rates than nocturnal ones. Furthermore, exposure to solar radiation is thought to reduce ectothermic longevity by increasing both metabolic costs and the rate of accumulating harmful mutations through UV radiation (UVC specifically). In being nocturnal, ectothermic species may reduce their intrinsic mortality rates and thus live longer. To test this hypothesis, we collected literature data on the maximum longevities of 740 lizard species, of which 185 are geckos. We examined whether geckos live longer than other lizards, and whether activity time affects gecko longevity. While geckos live relatively long for lizards of their size, their activity time was found to be unrelated to longevity, contradicting our predictions. We suggest that diurnal species may have evolved higher resistance to UV radiation via thicker, more keratinized skin. Elevated metabolic rates do not automatically equate with faster aging. Mortality through extrinsic causes (e.g., predation) may impose much stronger selective pressures than intrinsic causes.

description: Our local Hubble volume might be contained within a bubble that nucleated in a false vacuum with only two large spatial dimensions. We study bubble collisions in this scenario and find that they generate gravity waves, which are made possible in this context by the reduced symmetry of the global geometry. These gravity waves would produce B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background, which could in principle dominate over the inflationary background.

description: We compare distance measurements obtained from two distance indicators, Super- novae observations (standard candles) and Baryon acoustic oscillation data (standard rulers). The Union2 sample of supernovae with BAO data from SDSS, 6dFGS and the latest BOSS and WiggleZ surveys is used in search for deviations from the distance duality relation. We find that the supernovae are brighter than expected from BAO measurements. The luminosity distances tend to be smaller then expected from angular diameter distance estimates as also found in earlier works on distance duality, but the trend is not statistically significant. This further constrains the cosmic transparency.

description: Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are promising elemental blocks for quantum optics [1, 2], spin-based quantum information processing [3, 4], and high-resolution sensing [5-13]. Yet, fully exploiting these capabilities of single NV centers requires strategies to accurately manipulate them. Here, we use optical tweezers as a tool to achieve deterministic trapping and 3D spatial manipulation of individual nano-diamonds hosting a single NV spin. Remarkably, we find the NV axis is nearly fixed inside the trap and can be controlled in-situ, by adjusting the polarization of the trapping light. By combining this unique spatial and angular control with coherent manipulation of the NV spin and fluorescent lifetime measurements near an integrated photonic system, we prove optically trapped NV center as a novel route for both 3D vectorial magnetometry and sensing of the local density of optical states.

description: The majority of lizard clades are ancestrally and predominantly diurnal. The only major taxon in which most species are nocturnal is the Gekkota (geckos and pygopodids). As ectothermic thermoregulators, lizard metabolic rates are highly temperature dependent, and diurnal lizards therefore demonstrate higher metabolic rates than nocturnal ones. Furthermore, exposure to solar radiation is thought to reduce ectothermic longevity by increasing both metabolic costs and the rate of accumulating harmful mutations through UV radiation (UVC specifically). In being nocturnal, ectothermic species may reduce their intrinsic mortality rates and thus live longer. To test this hypothesis, we collected literature data on the maximum longevities of 740 lizard species, of which 185 are geckos. We examined whether geckos live longer than other lizards, and whether activity time affects gecko longevity. While geckos live relatively long for lizards of their size, their activity time was found to be unrelated to longevity, contradicting our predictions. We suggest that diurnal species may have evolved higher resistance to UV radiation via thicker, more keratinized skin. Elevated metabolic rates do not automatically equate with faster aging. Mortality through extrinsic causes (e.g., predation) may impose much stronger selective pressures than intrinsic causes.

description: We propose a method for modeling the magnetic properties of nanomaterials with different structures. The method is based on the Ising model and the approximation of the random field interaction. It is shown that in this approximation, the magnetization of the nanocrystal depends only on the number of nearest neighbors of the lattice atoms and the values of exchange integrals between them. This gives a good algorithmic problem of calculating the magnetization of any nano-object, whether it is ultrathin film or nanoparticle of any shape and structure, managing only a rule of selection of nearest neighbors. By setting different values of exchange integrals, it is easy to describe ferromagnets, antiferromagnets, and ferrimagnets in a unified formalism. Having obtained the magnetization curve of the sample it is possible to find the Curie temperature as a function of, for example, the thickness of ultrathin film. Afterwards one can obtain the numerical values for critical exponents of the phase transition "ferromagnet -- paramagnet". Good agreement between the results of calculations and the experimental data proves the correctness of the method.

description: We compute the parity violating part of the time-dependent gravitational response function of an ideal gas of Weyl fermions up to third order in the derivative expansion and give its full tensorial structure. Our main results are two functions that parametrize the energy-momentum tensor in terms of gauge-invariant combinations of vector and tensor metric perturbations. The zero frequency limit of these functions is related with the anomalous constitutive relations and with the full anomalous partition function in the presence of gauge and mixed anomalies. In particular, our results imply the existence of a previously unknown invariant contribution to the parity-odd partition function at third derivative order that we explicitly construct. Beyond the static limit, the gravitational response function may provide valuable insights into time-dependent phenomena driven by anomalies.

Comprehensive Analysis on Lepton Flavor Violating Higgs Boson to mu tau Decay in Supersymmetry without R Parity

description: In this paper we examine thoroughly the Higgs boson to mu tau decay via processes involving R parity violating couplings. By means of full one-loop diagrammatic calculations, we found that even if known experimental constraints, particularly including the stringent sub-eV neutrino mass bounds, give strong restrictions on some of the R parity violating parameters, the branching ratio could still achieve notable value in the admissible parameter space. Hence, the flavor violating leptonic decay is of interest to future experiments. We present here key results of our analysis. Based on the analysis, we give some comments on h -> e mu and h -> e tau also.

Can Mass of the Lightest Family Gauge Boson be of the Order of TeV?

description: The observed sign of a deviation from the $e$-$μ$ universality in tau decays suggests family gauge bosons with an inverted mass hierarchy. Under the constraints from the observed $K^0$-$\bar{K}^0$ and $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing, we investigate a possibility that a mass $M_{33}$ of the lightest gauge boson $A_3^3$ which couples with only the third generation quarks and leptons is of the order of TeV. It is concluded that $M_{33} \sim 1$ TeV is possible if we adopt a specific model phenomenologically.

description: Diese Arbeit stellt eine Betrachtung der Privatio Boni Theorie dar und umfasst eine historische Betrachtung von Denkern, welche diese Theorie im Laufe der Geschichte bearbeitet haben. Ausdrückliches Ziel ist dabei, eine klare Darstellung der Theorie inklusive ihres Ursprungs, Wandels, Kritiken und Niedergangs zu bieten. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die Theorie einen starken Wandel gegenüber ihrer ursprünglichen Form erfuhr. Die Theorie welche von den Aufklärer zu Grabe getragen wurde, war somit nicht die tatsächliche Privationstheorie an sich, sondern eine christlich-theologische Interpretation derselben. Die eigentliche Privatio Boni Theorie blieb also unbeantwortet. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit näher mit Plotin und Spinoza und zeigt, dass Anhand überlappender Konzepte in der Auffassung des Absoluten und des Guten eine plotinische Lesart von Spinozas Theorien möglich ist, welche das Tor zu einer künftigen Modernisierung der Privatio Boni Theorie öffnen könnte.
description: This work presents an examination of the theory of Privatio Boni (privation of good) and includes a historical analysis of thinkers who have worked on this theory throughout history. The explicit goal is to provide a clear presentation of the theory, including its origin, evolution, criticisms, and decline. It becomes evident that the theory underwent a significant transformation from its original form. The theory that was laid to rest by the Enlightenment thinkers was not the actual theory of privation itself, but rather a Christian theological interpretation of it. The true theory of Privatio Boni remained unanswered. Furthermore, this work delves into Plotinus and Spinoza, demonstrating that through overlapping concepts in their understanding of the Absolute and the Good, a Plotinian interpretation of Spinoza's theories is possible, which could open the door to a future modernization of the theory of Privatio Boni.

description: Neutrinos and gravitational waves are the only direct probes of the inner dynamics of a stellar core collapse. They are also the first signals to arrive from a supernova and, if detected, establish the moment when the shock wave is formed that unbinds the stellar envelope and later initiates the optical display upon reaching the stellar surface with a burst of UV and X-ray photons, the shock breakout (SBO). We discuss how neutrino observations can be used to trigger searches to detect the elusive SBO event. Observation of the SBO would provide several important constraints on progenitor structure and the explosion, including the shock propagation time (the duration between the neutrino burst and SBO), an observable that is important in distinguishing progenitor types. Our estimates suggest that next generation neutrino detectors could exploit the overdensity of nearby SNe to provide several such triggers per decade, more than an order of magnitude improvement over the present.

description: We simulate crystallisation of hard spheres with short-ranged attractive potentials, as a model self-assembling system. We show how measurements of correlation and response functions during assembly can be used to tune the interaction parameters as assembly proceeds, in order to obtain high-quality crystals. The method we use is independent of details of the interaction potential and of the structure of the final crystal - we propose that it could be applied to a wide range of self-assembling systems.
