description: The fast transformation of technologies into new products or processes is one of the core challenges for any technology-based enterprise. Within the innovation process, we believe, the early phases (“fuzzy front end”) to have the highest impact on the whole process and the result (Input-Output Process), since it will influence the design and total costs of the innovation extremely. However the “Fuzzy Front End” is unfortunately the least-well structured part of the innovation process, both in theory and in practice.
 The focus of the present chapter is on methods and tools to manage the “fuzzy front end” of the innovation process. Firstly, the activities, characteristics, and challenges of the front end are described. Secondly, a framework of the application fields for different methods and tools is presented: Since a product upgrade requires a different approach compared to radical innovation, where the market is unknown and a new technology is applied, we believe such a framework to be useful for practitioners. Thirdly, a selection of methods and tools that can be applied to the “fuzzy front end” are presented and allocated within the framework. The methods selected here address process improvements, concept generation, and concept testing.

description: Till today we dreamt of imperceptible delay in a network. The computer science research grows today faster than ever offering more and more services (computational representational, graphical, intelligent implication etc) to its user. But the problem lies in "greater the volume of services greater the problem of delay". So tracing delay, or performance analysis focusing on time required for computation, in a existing or newly configured network is necessary to conclude the improvement. In this paper, we have done the job of delay analysis in a multi-server system,. For this proposed work we have used continuous -parameter Markov chains (Non -Birth -Death Process),for developing the required models, and for developing the simulator we have used queuing networking, different scheduling algorithms at the servers queue and process scheduling . The work can be further extended to test the performance of wireless domain.

It is found that the results arrived at with this main working approach here is fairly in good agreement with both the measured data and the results obtained on the basis of some other models of the `standard' variety. Impact and implications of this comparative study have also been precisely highlighted in the end.

Bound on remote preparation of entanglement from isotropic states

description: Using the negativity as an entanglement measure, we investigate the possible amount of remotely prepared entanglement. For two identical isotropic states on two-qudit systems 12 and 34, we calculate the average amount of entanglement remotely distributed on the system 13 by joint measurement on the system 24, and show that the remote preparation of entanglement by the generalized Bell-measurement is optimal among rank-one measurements if the isotropic states have a certain fidelity with a maximally entangled state in higher dimensional quantum systems, or if the fidelity of the isotropic states is greater than a certain value depending on the dimension. In addition, we construct a measurement better than the generalized Bell-measurement with respect to the remote preparation of entanglement when the isotropic states have small fidelity.

description: We consider the impact of key astrophysical and measurement systematics on constraints on dark energy and modifications to gravity on cosmic scales. We focus on upcoming photometric "Stage III" and "Stage IV" large scale structure surveys such as DES, SuMIRe, Euclid, LSST and WFIRST. We illustrate the different redshift dependencies of gravity modifications compared to intrinsic alignments, the main astrophysical systematic. The way in which systematic uncertainties, such as galaxy bias and intrinsic alignments, are modelled can change dark energy equation of state and modified gravity figures of merit by a factor of four. The inclusion of cross-correlations of cosmic shear and galaxy position measurements helps reduce the loss of constraining power from the lensing shear surveys. When forecasts for Planck CMB and Stage IV surveys are combined, constraints on the dark energy equation of state and modified gravity model are recovered, relative to those from shear data with no systematic uncertainties, if fewer than 36 free parameters in total are used to describe the galaxy bias and intrinsic alignment models as a function of scale and redshift. To facilitate future investigations, we also provide a fitting function for the matter power spectrum arising from the phenomenological modified gravity model we consider.

Der allgemeine Reaktionsmechanismus der Wasserstoffabsorption und -desorption wird ausführlich erläutert. Zudem wird der Einfluss von Temperatur und Wasserstoffdruck auf den Mechanismus der Absorption untersucht. Für bestimmte Temperaturen und Wasserstoffdrücke konnte eine Abhängigkeit des Mechanismus vom Verhältnis der Edukte gezeigt werden. Die Kinetik des Desorptionsprozess konnte signifikant verbessert werden, indem das Material nach dem Mahlvorgang unter Wasserstoffatmosphäre erhitzt wurde. Weitere Verbesserungen der Desorption konnten durch ein innovatives Verfahren zur Steigerung der effektiven Kontaktfläche zwischen den Edukten erreicht werden. Dieses Verfahren ermöglicht einen neuen Weg zur Verbesserung der Kinetik von Multi-Komponenten-Festphase Reaktionen.
description: The hydrogen storage properties of the system 2NaBH4+MgH2 are investigated as a model system for the class of Reactive Hydride Composites based on MgB2. The hydrogen absorption and desorption mechanisms are thoroughly elucidated. The effect of the applied hydrogen pressure and temperature on the hydrogen absorption mechanism is studied. For a given set of hydrogen pressure and temperature the dependence of the absorption reaction mechanism on the ratio of the starting reactants is also investigated. For the desorption reaction, considerable kinetic improvements are achieved by heating the as milled material in hydrogen pressure. The possibility to improve the desorption reaction by an innovative method of enhancing the effective contact area between reactants is also proposed. This method opens a new path for the kinetic enhancement of multi-compound reaction in the solid state.

Women in criminal trials in the Julio-Claudian era
Creators: name: Deline, Tracy Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study focuses on the intersection of three general areas: elite Roman women, criminal law, and Julio-Claudian politics. Chapter one provides background material on the literary and legal source material used in this study and considers the cases of Augustus’ daughter and granddaughter as a backdrop to the legal and political thinking that follows. The remainder of the dissertation is divided according to women’s roles in criminal trials. Chapter two, encompassing the largest body of evidence, addresses the role of women as defendants, and this chapter is split into three thematic parts that concentrate on charges of adultery, treason, and other crimes. A recurring question is whether the defendants were indicted for reasons specific to them or the indictments were meant to injure their male family members politically. Analysis of these cases reveals that most of the accused women suffered harm without the damage being shared by their male family members. Chapter three considers that a handful of powerful women also filled the role of prosecutor, a role technically denied to them under the law. Resourceful and powerful imperial women like Messalina and Agrippina found ways to use criminal accusations to remove political enemies. Chapter four investigates women in the role of witnesses in criminal trials. The final part of the thesis is a prosopographical survey, presenting a case by case analysis of all the trials considered in this study. The conclusion emphasizes that the changing role of women in Roman politics is striking. The emergence of the senate as the court that heard trials like these is an important development. Women are now seen entering the senate and speaking at trials as witnesses and defendants, participating (intermittently, to be sure) in senatorial proceedings, from which they had been completely banned in the Republic. Women were perceived as more than capable of being agents in political intrigue, a perception confirmed and reinforced by the high-profile legal and political maneuvres of the younger Agrippina. This was a new level of public attention, and at a high cost for those who were convicted, whether they were actually guilty of a criminal offense or merely political targets.
Optimized coupling of cold atoms into a fiber using a blue-detuned hollow-beam funnel

description: We theoretically investigate the process of coupling cold atoms into the core of a hollow-core photonic-crystal optical fiber using a blue-detuned Laguerre-Gaussian beam. In contrast to the use of a red-detuned Gaussian beam to couple the atoms, the blue-detuned hollow-beam can confine cold atoms to the darkest regions of the beam thereby minimizing shifts in the internal states and making the guide highly robust to heating effects. This single optical beam is used as both a funnel and guide to maximize the number of atoms into the fiber. In the proposed experiment, Rb atoms are loaded into a magneto-optical trap (MOT) above a vertically-oriented optical fiber. We observe a gravito-optical trapping effect for atoms with high orbital momentum around the trap axis, which prevents atoms from coupling to the fiber: these atoms lack the kinetic energy to escape the potential and are thus trapped in the laser funnel indefinitely. We find that by reducing the dipolar force to the point at which the trapping effect just vanishes, it is possible to optimize the coupling of atoms into the fiber. Our simulations predict that by using a low-power (2.5 mW) and far-detuned (300 GHz) Laguerre-Gaussian beam with a 20-μm radius core hollow-fiber it is possible to couple 11% of the atoms from a MOT 9 mm away from the fiber. When MOT is positioned further away, coupling efficiencies over 50% can be achieved with larger core fibers.

description: The highly organised distribution of satellite galaxies surrounding the Milky Way is a serious challenge to the concordance cosmological model. Perhaps the only remaining solution, in this framework, is that the dwarf satellite galaxies fall into the Milky Way's potential along one or two filaments, which may or may not plausibly reproduce the observed distribution. Here we test this scenario by making use of the proper motions of the Fornax, Sculptor, Ursa Minor and Carina dwarf spheroidals, and trace their orbits back through several variations of the Milky Way's potential and account for dynamical friction. The key parameters are the proper motions and total masses of the dwarf galaxies. Using a simple model we find no tenable set of parameters that can allow Fornax to be consistent with filamentary infall, mainly because the 1 sigma error on its proper motion is relatively small. The other three must walk a tightrope between requiring a small pericentre (less than 20 kpc) to lose enough orbital energy to dynamical friction and avoiding being tidally disrupted. We then employed a more realistic model with host halo mass accretion, and found that the four dwarf galaxies must have fallen in at least 5 Gyrs ago. This time interval is longer than organised distribution is expected to last before being erased by the randomisation of the satellite orbits.

description: We consider a class of stochastic processes modeling binary interactions in an N-particle system. Examples of such systems can be found in the modeling of biological swarms. They lead to the definition of a class of master equations that we call pair interaction driven master equations. We prove a propagation of chaos result for this class of master equations which generalizes Mark Kac's well know result for the Kac model in kinetic theory. We use this result to study kinetic limits for two biological swarm models. We show that propagation of chaos may be lost at large times and we exhibit an example where the invariant density is not chaotic.

description: We show how the appearance of d-wave pairing in fermionic condensates manifests itself in inelastic light scattering. Specifically, we calculate the Bragg scattering intensity from the dynamic structure factor and the spin susceptibility, which can be inferred from spin flip Raman transitions. This information provides a precise tool with which we can identify nontrivial correlations in the state of the system beyond the information contained in the density profile imaging alone. Due to the lack of Coulomb effects in neutral superfluids, this is also an opportunity to observe the Anderson-Bogoliubov collective mode.

description: We present an update of the D meson decay constant f_D using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action for valence charm and light quarks on MILC N_f = 2+1 lattices. The new determination incorporates HPQCD's improved scale r_1^{N_f = 2+1} = 0.3133(23) fm, accurately retuned bare charm quark masses and data from an ensemble that is more chiral than in our previous calculations. We find f_D = 208.3(3.4) MeV. Combining the new f_D with D -> μν branching fraction data from CLEO-c, we extract the CKM matrix element |V_cd| = 0.223(10)_{exp.}(4)_{lat.}. This value is in excellent agreement with |V_cd| from D semileptonic decays and from neutrino scattering experiments and has comparable total errors. We determine the ratio between semileptonic form factor and decay constant and find [f^{D -> π}_+(0) / f_D ]_{lat.} = 3.20(15) GeV^{-1} to be compared with the experimental value of [f^{D -> π}_+(0) / f_D ]_{exp.} = 3.19(18) GeV^{-1}. Finally, we mention recent preliminary but already more accurate D -> μν branching fraction measurements from BES III and discuss their impact on precision |V_cd| determinations in the future.

title: Microbial Habitability of Sulfate-rich Environments of Earth and Mars
Creators: name: Srivastava, Anushree
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: Mars hosted ancient hypersaline sulfate lakes around 4 billion years ago in the early Noachian. Chemically similar environments on Earth are teeming with microbes that have adapted to these extreme conditions yet the microbiome of terrestrial MgSO4 systems has not yet been adequately constrained. This is essential in order to understand the potential habitability of epsomic environments of early Mars.

 This thesis presents the characterisation of the microbial community compositions of enrichments of epsomite (MgSO4.7H2O) crystals from Basque Lakes, British Columbia, Canada. Basque lakes are sulfate-rich playas that serve as analogues for Mars' ancient hypersaline sulfate lakes. The predominant microbial taxa, which are typically halophilic, are also epsotolerant, which means that they can grow at high MgSO4.7H2O concentrations but do not require it to grow. Microbes residing in such rare terrestrial epsomic habitats are exemplars of the putative microbial life deemed to be associated with equivalent environments on early Mars. Therefore, one of the major contributions of this thesis is that it adds to the inventory of model terrestrial halophiles that can help inform our understanding of viable metabolisms and potential biosignatures on Mars.

 This thesis also reports the discovery of three novel microbial species: two bacteria and one archaeon, isolated from Basque Lake epsomite enrichments and characterised through a suite of genomic, physiological, and chemotaxonomic tests. Four whole genome sequencing accession numbers granted by GenBank are also reported, with computational tools employed to assign functions to the genes in the novel isolates. The subsystem categories and gene clusters for metabolic and signalling pathways represented in the novel bacterial genomes could have a bearing on survival under oligotrophic as well as multiple physicochemical stresses. Given NASA’s and ESA’s robotic missions to Mars are currently targeting sulfate-rich environments the results of this thesis may inform the search for potentially habitable epsomitic niches on Mars that could host preserved biosignatures.

description: The best way to increase the fuel efficiency is to reduce the weight of the automobiles by employing composite materials in the structure of the automobiles. Metal coil springs can be replaced by composite springs because of high strain energy, less weight and high corrosion resistance. Carbon pre-peg epoxy based composite spring is the best alternate to metallic springs and E-glass epoxy based composite springs. A helical compression spring of rectangular cross section is designed for a payload of 1400N and deflection of 30mm.The deflections and axial stresses are the design constraints for the selection of fiber orientations in carbon pre?peg epoxy based composites. Finite element analysis predicts the structural behavior of metallic and composites of varied orientations. Acomposite helical spring is developed using Tape winding technology and experimental validations are carried out on Carbon pre-peg epoxy based spring. The results indicate that carbon pre-peg springs are superior in structural parameters compared to metallic springs.

description: Diese Bachelorarbeit zeigt, dass Social Engineering überwiegend auf peripherer Verarbeitung (nach dem Elaboration Likelihood Modell) von Überredungsversuchen beruht. Daraus wird geschlossen, dass Cialdinis Prinzipien des Einflusses zur Erklärung der Wirkungsweise von Social Engineering verwendet werden können. Weiterhin wird durch eine umfassende Literaturauswertung gezeigt, dass individuelle Persönlichkeitsausprägungen einen Zusammenhang zur Anfälligkeit für Social Engineering aufweisen. Basierend auf diesen Argumenten wird ein Framework vorgeschlagen, das zukünftige Forschung leiten kann. Plausible Zusammenhänge zwischen den Persönlichkeitsfaktoren der Big 5 Persönlichkeits-Theorie und den Prinzipien des Einflusses werden vorgeschlagen. Diese Zusammenhänge müssen in zukünftiger Forschung evaluiert werden. Weiterhin wird ein integrativer Präventionsansatz gegen Social Engineering vorgeschlagen, der Social-Engineering-Penetrationstests, Sicherheitsbewusstseins-Trainings und die Entwicklung einer sicherheitsbewussten Organisationskultur kombiniert.
description: This thesis shows that social engineering mainly relies on peripheral route persuasion and that consequently, Cialdini's principles of influence can be used to explain how social engineering attacks work. It is further shown by a comprehensive literature review that individual values of personality traits relate to social engineering susceptibility. Based on these arguments, a framework is proposed, which can help to guide future research. Suggestions to plausible relations between the personality traits of the Big 5 Theory and the principles of influence are made. These relations need to be evaluated by future research. Lastly, an integrated approach to prevention against social engineering attacks is proposed, which combines penetration tests using social engineering, security awareness trainings, and the development of a security-aware organizational culture. The methodology used in conducting this investigation is a theoretical, positive research approach. Extensive literature reviews have been conducted on social engineering, psychology of persuasion and the influence of personality traits on the success of social engineering attacks. Based on an analysis and discussion of these reviews, proposals for a new framework and a prevention approach have been developed.

The most common such representation is probability, and the combination of probability with logic programs has given rise to the field of Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP), leading to languages such as the Independent Choice Logic, Logic Programs with Annotated Disjunctions (LPADs), Problog, PRISM and others. These languages share a similar distribution semantics, and methods have been devised to translate programs between these languages. The complexity of computing the probability of queries to these general PLP programs is very high due to the need to combine the probabilities of explanations that may not be exclusive. As one alternative, the PRISM system reduces the complexity of query answering by restricting the form of programs it can evaluate. As an entirely different alternative, Possibilistic Logic Programs adopt a simpler metric of uncertainty than probability. Each of these approaches -- general PLP, restricted PLP, and Possibilistic Logic Programming -- can be useful in different domains depending on the form of uncertainty to be represented, on the form of programs needed to model problems, and on the scale of the problems to be solved. In this paper, we show how the PITA system, which originally supported the general PLP language of LPADs, can also efficiently support restricted PLP and Possibilistic Logic Programs. PITA relies on tabling with answer subsumption and consists of a transformation along with an API for library functions that interface with answer subsumption.

description: GOBEX (Gotland Basin Experiment) was initiated in 1993 as a multidisciplinary experiment to investigate the oceanographic, chemical, biological and sedimentological situation in the Eastern Gotland Basin of the Baltic. The first task force studied aspects of hydrography in the Eastern Gotland Sea.

The second task force defined the Eastern Gotland Basin as a depositional end-member in the dynamic physical environment of the Baltic Sea and aimed to clarify pathways of materials, modifications and processes in the sediment accumulation area. These aims included the initial identification of mass fluxes of natural and anthropogenie substances, evaluation of transport processes, biological and geochemical processes, and sampling short (<200 years) and long (>1000 years) sedimentary records to hindcast historical and geological environments.

The present volume collects results obtained by participants of the second task force of GOBEX and is a complementary publication to the volume published by the hydrographic task force (HAGEN, 1996). After field work began in 1994, a considerable number of publications have appeared that are related to GOBEX. Many of these publications have appeared in or have been submitted to international journals that are reluctant to publish data tables. The first purpose of this volume thus is to document these analytical data in the form of data reports. The second purpose is to gather information that may be of value to the Baltic Sea scientific community in future studies, but is difficult to publish in international journals. This type of data includes, among others, maps, seismic records, details of dating efforts, core descriptions and core logs of physical properties. Many of the contributions of this latter category are bare-bone data reports that may contain preliminary and as yet unpublished data. We believe that their publication is in the spirit of GOBEX and we trust that any external users will contact the originators for advice on data quality and that due credit will be given to the scientists who have made them available in preliminary form.

description: In the last years, the labor market integration of immigrant women has received much attention in the migration literature. We examine gender differences in labor market integration among refugees and other new immigrants who came to Germany during a similar period from a dynamic perspective. Using two panel data sources, which include recently arrived refugees (the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Sample of Refugees) and other immigrants (the IAB-SOEP Migration Sample) in Germany, we compare the dynamics and sources of employment gender gap among refugees and other immigrants. The results uncover narrow initial gender differences among refugees that grow over time and a reversed pattern among other immigrants. However, female refugees’ initial disadvantaged starting position maintains five years after arrival. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the explanations offered in the literature cannot fully explain the hurdles female refugees and other immigrants face when entering the labor market.

description: Let $X_N$ be a $N\times N$ matrix whose entries are i.i.d. complex random variables with mean zero and variance $\frac{1}{N}$. We study the asymptotic spectral distribution of the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix $X_N^*X_N$ for $N\to\infty$. We prove that the empirical density of eigenvalues in an interval $[E,E+η]$ converges to the Marchenko-Pastur law locally on the optimal scale, $N η/\sqrt{E} \gg (\log N)^b$, and in any interval up to the hard edge, $\frac{(\log N)^b}{N^2}\lesssim E \leq 4-κ$, for any $κ>0$. As a consequence, we show the complete delocalization of the eigenvectors.

description: Bayesian learning provides a core concept of information processing in financial markets. Typically it is assumed that market participants perfectly know the quality of released news. However, in practice, news’ precision is rarely disclosed. Therefore, we extend standard Bayesian learning allowing traders to infer news’ precision from two different sources. If information is perceived to be imprecise, prices react stronger. Moreover, interactions of the different precision signals affect price responses nonlinearly. Empirical tests based on intra-day T-bond futures price reactions to employment releases confirm the model’s predictions and reveal statistically and economically significant effects of news’ precision.

description:

Il saggio tenta di ripercorre le vicende delle diverse esperienze di sindacalismo dei lavoratori nelle varie aree e nei diversi ambienti, dalle lontane origini nell’Inghilterra del XVIII secolo ai giorni nostri. Utilizzando la storia comparata e di lungo periodo il lavoro ne evidenzia, in ciascuna, natura e fini, modelli organizzativi e contrattuali, rapporto con la politica e l’economia. Infine, dopo aver ricostruito le complesse vicende dell’internazionalismo sindacale ed aver tracciato, per grandi linee, le specificità italiane, si descrivono problemi, sfide e prospettive del moderno sindacalismo. L’A. vede solo nel libero e democratico associarsi dei lavoratori, nella partecipazione leale ed autonoma alle sorti dell’economia e della politica, ma soprattutto in un rinnovato forte rapporto con i lavoratori e con le realtà associative di base, la via migliore per il futuro del lavoro, dell’impresa e del sindacato.

description: Aims: The aim of study was to quantify the temporal change of soil organic carbon content in relation to agricultural management for a dry sandy arable soil and to derive the C sequestration potential. Methods: We analyzed data from a long-term field experiment with three crop rotations of different cereal proportions, with two levels of straw application (removal/return) in combination with four mineral nitrogen rates (40 … 160 kg ha-1 yr-1). Treatments are arranged in a two-factorial block design with two replicates for each rotation. During the 24-year study period, grain and straw yield of two cereal test crops and soil organic carbon content in topsoil were determined annually from each plot. Results: Soil organic carbon content was positively influenced by removing non-cereal crops from the rotation and – to a smaller extent – by straw application. Increasing mineral N-fertilization from 40 kg ha-1 yr-1 to higher rates increased grain yield of rye but not barley, increased straw yield of both cereals more, with no effect of higher straw yields on soil organic carbon content. Conclusions: Despite the overall soil organic carbon content of the sandy soil under study is comparatively low, the results indicate that agricultural management has a relevant impact on soil carbon stocks. Straw return contributes to carbon sequestration even in rotations with a low potential for reproduction of organic matter. High mineral N-fertilization is not an adequate measure to sequester carbon in these soils.

description: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a multi-purpose liquid scintillator detector under construction in southern China, has a unique potential to determine the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) with 3σ C.L. in 6 years by observing the vacuum oscillation pattern of reactor antineutrinos at 52.5 km baseline. In order to achieve this challenging goal, a large target mass of 20 kton and an excellent energy resolution of 3% at 1 MeV are prerequisites. Consequently, JUNO will measure the neutrino oscillation parameters $∆m^2_{12}$, $θ_{12}$, and $∆m^2_{13}$ in sub-percent precision. It will also probe the matter-dominated oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos, specifically enhancing the neutrino interaction model at the subGeV energy scale and offering an independent complement to the NMO analysis with reactor anti-neutrinos. This proceeding reviews major updates compared to the previous estimates of JUNO’s sensitivity to NMO as cited in Ref 1.

description: We present an integrated optomechanical and electromechanical nanocavity, in which a common mechanical degree of freedom is coupled to an ultrahigh-Q photonic crystal defect cavity and an electrical circuit. The sys- tem allows for wide-range, fast electrical tuning of the optical nanocavity resonances, and for electrical control of optical radiation pressure back-action effects such as mechanical amplification (phonon lasing), cooling, and stiffening. These sort of integrated devices offer a new means to efficiently interconvert weak microwave and optical signals, and are expected to pave the way for a new class of micro-sensors utilizing optomechanical back-action for thermal noise reduction and low-noise optical read-out.
