description: The paper examined the relationship between economic growth and development and ROA and ROE financial efficiency of commercial banks in EU countries. The data obtained show that in most EU countries there has not been Granger causality between the study variables, which means that between them there is not a statistically significant relationship. Economic growth had a statistically significant impact on the ROA and ROE financial efficiency of commercial banks in Greece, Ireland, Latvia, Poland and Hungary. In turn, economic development measured by GDP per capita influenced statistically significantly on the level of ROA and ROE financial efficiency of commercial banks only in Belgium. ROA financial efficiency of commercial banks had an impact on economic growth (GDP) in the Netherlands and Germany and on economic development (GDP per capita) in Belgium. ROE financial efficiency of commercial banks influenced statistically significantly on economic growth (GDP) in the Netherlands and Germany and on economic development (GDP per capita) in Luxembourg. / Synopsis. W pracy zbadano związek między wzrostem i rozwojem gospodarczym a efektywnością finansową ROA i ROE banków komercyjnych w krajach UE. Z uzyskanych danych wynika, że w większości krajów UE nie odnotowano przyczynowości w sensie Grangera między badanymi zmiennymi, co oznacza, że między nimi nie ma statystycznie istotnego związku. Wzrost gospodarczy miał statystycznie istotny wpływ na efektywność finansową ROA i ROE banków komercyjnych w Grecji, Irlandii, na Łotwie, w Polsce i na Węgrzech. Z kolei rozwój gospodarczy mierzony PKB per capita wpływał statystycznie istotnie na poziom efektywności finansowej ROA i ROE banków komercyjnych jedynie w Belgii. Efektywność finansowa ROA banków komercyjnych miała wpływ na wzrost gospodarczy PKB w Holandii i w Niemczech oraz na rozwój gospodarczy PKB per capita w Belgii. Efektywność finansowa ROE banków komercyjnych wpływa statystycznie istotnie na wzrost gospodarczy PKB w Holandii i w Niemczech oraz na rozwój gospodarczy PKB per capita w Luksemburgu.

description: Massive material injection has been proposed as a way to mitigate the formation of a beam of relativistic runaway electrons that may result from a disruption in tokamak plasmas. In this paper we analyse runaway generation observed in eleven ASDEX Upgrade discharges where disruption was triggered using massive gas injection. We present numerical simulations in scenarios characteristic of on-axis plasma conditions, constrained by experimental observations, using a description of the runaway dynamics with self-consistent electric field and temperature evolution in two-dimensional momentum space and zero-dimensional real space. We describe the evolution of the electron distribution function during the disruption, and show that the runaway seed generation is dominated by hot-tail in all of the simulated discharges. We reproduce the observed dependence of the current dissipation rate on the amount of injected argon during the runaway plateau phase. Our simulations also indicate that above a threshold amount of injected argon, the current density after the current quench depends strongly on the argon densities. This trend is not observed in the experiments, which suggests that effects not captured by 0D kinetic modeling -- such as runaway seed transport -- are also important.

Mega-projects in the making : a century of transportation infrastructure investment in Vancouver, Canada
Creators: name: Siemiatycki, Matti
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Mega Projects in the Making explores why the development of infrastructure megaprojects have dominated the urban transportation landscape in Vancouver for over a century, even as such projects have repeatedly failed to meet the public interest for a regional transportation system that is efficient, competitive, equitable, and environmentally sound. Through a multidisciplinary approach that presents specific transportation investment decisions as historically contingent, path dependent, and the product of both individual agency and institutional structures, the decision to consistently favour large-scale projects is situated within the context of the Vancouver region’s spatial, economic, social, environmental and political history. Within this context, it is shown that choices made by a densely interconnected group of decision makers in the early stages of each planning process effectively locked in decisions on the scale of the projects, the route, technology and service delivery mechanisms. The decisions of these individuals were patterned by their own self-interest and pressure from specific interest groups, the institutional norms, traditions and laws that regulated their actions, and also the evolving desires of the general public to see solutions to what has long been perceived to be a worsening urban congestion problem. In this sense, it is illustrated that when problems such as urban congestion are constructed as being mega in scale with significant negative externalities, they legitimize the quest for mega scale solutions. At the same time, large-scale transportation projects are developed for reasons that are beyond the movement of people, and include symbolic messages related to intercity competitiveness, urban progress, visionary leadership and the cultivation of an all-round positive image that can catalyze further investment. When viewed in its entirety, Mega Projects in the Making is more than a project concerned with approaches to congestion relief or mega-project development; it is an examination of the tangible, political and symbolic forces that direct urban change.

description: Sugar cane is a basic raw material for the production of sugar and bioethanol throughout the world. There is strong competition between cane sugar and beet sugar on the market. Changes in market policies in developed countries and bilateral agreements lead to a gradual decline of beet sugar share in the world production of sugar. The cultivation of sugar cane shows a dynamic development which reflects growing demand for sugar and policies related to the energy sector in Brazil, where large quantities of sugar cane and molasses are being processed for ethanol. Moreover sugar cane and by-products of its processing are also used in other areas. Such strong competitive position of sugar cane results from high yield per area unit and low production costs. / Synopsis. Trzcina cukrowa jest podstawowym surowcem do produkcji cukru i bioetanolu na świecie. Na świtowym rynku cukru występuje silna konkurencja między cukrem trzcinowym i buraczanym. Zamiany w polityki rynkowej w cukrownictwie w uprzemysłowionych krajach oraz bilateralne porozumienia handlowe powodują, że systematycznie zmniejsza się udział cukru buraczanego w światowej produkcji. Uprawa trzciny cukrowej dynamicznie rozwija się, a decyduje o tym rosnący popyt na cukier na świecie oraz polityka energetyczna Brazylii, która duże ilości trzciny cukrowej i melasy przetwarza na bioetanol. Trzcina cukrowa i produkty uboczne jej przetwórstwa znajdują zastosowanie także w innych sektorach gospodarki. Silna pozycja konkurencyjna trzciny cukrowej wynika z dużej produktywności z jednostki powierzchni oraz niskich kosztów produkcji.

description: Targeting at the realization of scalable photonic quantum technologies, the generation of many photons, their propagation in large optical networks, and a subsequent detection and analysis of sophisticated quantum correlations are essential for the understanding of macroscopic quantum systems. In this experimental contribution, we explore the joint operation of all mentioned ingredients. We benchmark our time-multiplexing framework that includes a high-performance source of multiphoton states and a large multiplexing network, together with unique detectors with high photon-number resolution, readily available for distributing quantum light and measuring complex quantum correlations. Using an adaptive approach that employs flexible time bins, rather than static ones, we successfully verify high-order nonclassical correlations of many photons distributed over many modes. By exploiting the symmetry of our system and using powerful analysis tools, we can analyze correlations that would be inaccessible by classical means otherwise. In particular, we produce on the order of ten photons and distribute them over 64 modes. Nonclassicality is verified with correlation functions up to the 128th order and statistical significances of up to 20 standard deviations.
The distance to the Pleiades: Main sequence fitting in the near infrared

description: Hipparcos parallax measurements of stars in the Pleiades notoriously result in a cluster distance of 118 pc; ~10% shorter than the `classical' results of MS-fitting. In an earlier paper we developed a purely empirical MS-fitting method to address this problem, which produced conflicting results between the (B-V) and (V-I) colour indices, indicating that the cluster's photometric metallicity is substantially lower than its (~solar) spectroscopic metallicity. We were able to reconcile the discrepancy by assuming [Fe/H]=-0.4 (as indicated from (B-V)/(V-I) colour-colour plots), and the distance moduli obtained from the 2 indices were in agreement with the Hipparcos result, within the 1sig errors. With the release of the 2MASS All Sky Catalogue, we now apply our MS-fitting method to the Pleiades using the infrared colours, in order to test the plausibility of our earlier result. Fitting in the V/(V-K) and K/(J-K) colour planes, we find that assuming a subsolar metallicity does not produce distances in agreement with the (B-V) and (V-I) results. However the infrared plus (V-I) distances are in mutual agreement when adopting the spectroscopic metallicity. By considering only stars with Mv<=6, the infrared and optical colour indices all yield consistent distances using the spectroscopic [Fe/H]. The concordant distances thus obtained from the (B-V), (V-I), (V-K) and (J-K) indices yield a mean of 133.8+/-3 pc, in excellent agreement with the pre-Hipparcos MS-fitting results, and the most recent determinations from other methods. We conclude that there are two distinct issues affecting the Pleiades: the Hipparcos parallax is in error by ~10%, as previously claimed; the (B-V) colours of the lower MS are anomalous, and we caution against their use for MS-fitting to the Pleiades and similarly young open clusters.

description: We investigate the dripline mirror nuclei, $^{11}$Li and $^{11}$O, located on the neutron and proton dripline, respectively. We calculate the lowest four states, $3/2^-$, $1/2^+$, $3/2^+$ and $5/2^+$, built on double occupancy in the nuclear $s_{1/2}$ and $p_{1/2}$ valence single-particle states. We use the hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method to solve the three-body problem for a frozen nuclear core surrounded by two identical nucleons. The four analogue states in $^{11}$O are obtained with precisely the same interactions as used for the four states in $^{11}$Li, except for addition of the Coulomb interaction from the charge of the substituted valence protons. Surprisingly the four energies deviate from each other only by less than a few hundred keV. Any of them could then turn out to be the ground state, due to the uncertainty related to the angular momentum and parity dependence of the three-body potential. Still, our calculations marginally favor the $1/2^+$ state. The structures of these four states in $^{11}$O deviate substantially from the analogue states in the mirror, $^{11}$Li.

description: The geoscience community has begun to grapple with the whiteness of the community and the harm and erasure of Indigenous communities done by earth and environmental scientists. We have come to understand that to recruit and retain Indigenous students, geoscience education needs to be culturally responsive by explicitly centering Indigenous students. This has created a great need for guidelines about how to approach and evaluate educational programs that are designed for Indigenous students, and/or use Traditional Knowledge. There are many recent initiatives, especially those led by Indigenous scientists and faculty, that have done this well. We present here a newly developed rubric and systematic review of publications about Indigenous geoscience initiatives for K-12, college education, and professional training. Our evaluation examines the implementation of the program, its content, approach (i.e., if the program used Indigenous ways of learning and knowing or taught Indigenous concepts in a western education framework) and research design. The goal of this review is to identify further areas of research, areas that need improvement, and to develop recommendations for similar future initiatives. Overall, the articles reviewed herein are consistently implementing multiple epistemologies, and explicitly centering and validating Indigenous culture. However, there is work to be done to improve the ways similar programs address racism, Indigenous identity, sovereignty, and data sovereignty moving forward.

description: Effective science communication for a multilingual population requires more than language translation, it also requires being mindful of cultural communication styles. This study tested the impact that communication style has on feelings of inclusion, learning, and engagement in the Earth sciences for Hispanic and Latinx adults. An online survey with open and closed questions was used to evaluate two science videos (in both Spanish and English) with different communication styles: 1) a traditional, interview-based style, where experts present a science concept, and 2) an informal conversational style, where a scientific message is shared through a casual conversation. Seventy-four participants self-identified as Hispanic and Latinx and were the focus of the data analysis. Both video styles were positively received, with participant feedback emphasizing feelings of inclusion in seeing Latina scientists, easy to understand science concepts, and accessible language. Hispanic and Latinx adults preferred the traditional video, but the conversational video ranked higher in other aspects, which varied based on participants’ primary spoken language at home. For example, the conversational video had a positive impact on the ability to relate information to their own life and increase awareness of Earth science careers for Spanish-language speakers. Findings suggest the use of both video styles could improve feelings of inclusion and engagement for Hispanic and Latinx adults. Additional aspects of culture and demographics may explain some of the language-based results. Future science videos are encouraged to be co-designed by, for, and with Hispanic and Latinx communities to emphasize cultural values while avoiding stereotyping and cultural appropriation.

description: A characteristic feature of the mineral fertilizer market is seasonality of purchases and related seasonal price fluctuations. The article analyzed the size and distribution of the seasonal fluctuations in the prices of mineral fertilizers in Poland, Germany, France, Ireland and Slovenia. The study indicates the existence of a clear seasonality in fertilizer prices in all markets analyzed. Markets studied differed in amplitude for seasonal variations. Seasonal increases in prices of fertilizers in the countries surveyed were most frequently observed in January-March, while seasonal declines in prices occurred mostly from May to July. The biggest seasonal changes in prices was observed in the case of nitrogen fertilizers. The remaining groups of mineral fertilizers were characterized by significantly lower seasonal fluctuations. / Synopsis.

description: We report a multiple-site mean-field analysis of the zero-temperature phase diagram for ultracold bosons in realistic optical superlattices. The system of interacting bosons is described by a Bose-Hubbard model whose site-dependent parameters reflect the nontrivial periodicity of the optical superlattice. An analytic approach is formulated based on the analysis of the stability of a fixed-point of the map defined by the self-consistency condition inherent in the mean-field approximation. The experimentally relevant case of the period-2 one-dimensional superlattice is briefly discussed. In particular, it is shown that, for a special choice of the superlattice parameters, the half-filling insulator domain features an unusual loophole shape that the single-site mean-field approach fails to capture.

description: The dynamics of nuclear collective motion is investigated in the case of reflection-asymmetric shapes. The model is based on a new parameterization of the octupole and quadrupole degrees of freedom, valid for nuclei close to the axial symmetry. Amplitudes of oscillation in other degrees of freedom different from the axial ones are assumed to be small, but not frozen to zero. The case of nuclei which already possess a permanent quadrupole deformation is discussed in some more detail and a simple solution is obtained at the critical point of the phase transition between harmonic octupole oscillation and a permanent asymmetric shape. The results are compared with experimental data of the Thorium isotopic chain. The isotope Th-226 is found to be close to the critical point.

description: We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the electronic structure of bilayer graphene at high n-doping and extreme displacement fields, created by intercalating epitaxial monolayer graphene on silicon carbide with magnesium to form quasi-freestanding bilayer graphene on magnesium-terminated silicon carbide. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals that upon magnesium intercalation, the single massless Dirac band of epitaxial monolayer graphene is transformed into the characteristic massive double-band Dirac spectrum of quasi-freestanding bilayer graphene. Analysis of the spectrum using a simple tight binding model indicates that magnesium intercalation results in an n-type doping of 2.1 $\times$ 10$^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$, creates an extremely high displacement field of 2.6 V/nm, opening a considerable gap of 0.36 eV at the Dirac point. This is further confirmed by density-functional theory calculations for quasi-freestanding bilayer graphene on magnesium-terminated silicon carbide, which show a similar doping level, displacement field and bandgap. Finally, magnesium-intercalated samples are surprisingly robust to ambient conditions; no significant changes in the electronic structure are observed after 30 minutes exposure in air.

description: The latest data of the two long-baseline accelerator experiments NO$ν$A and T2K, interpreted in the standard 3-flavor scenario, display a discrepancy. A mismatch in the determination of the standard CP-phase $δ_{\mathrm {CP}}$ extracted by the two experiments is evident in the normal neutrino mass ordering. While NO$ν$A prefers values close to $δ_{\mathrm {CP}} \sim 0.8 π$, T2K identifies values of $δ_{\mathrm {CP}} \sim 1.4 π$. Such two estimates are in disagreement at more than 90$\%$ C.L. for 2 degrees of freedom. We show that such a tension can be resolved if one hypothesizes the existence of complex neutral-current non-standard interactions (NSI) of the flavor changing type involving the $e-μ$ or the $e-τ$ sectors with couplings $|\varepsilon_{eμ}| \sim |\varepsilon_{eτ}|\sim 0.2$. Remarkably, in the presence of such NSI, both experiments point towards the same common value of the standard CP-phase $δ_{\mathrm {CP}} \sim 3π/2$. Our analysis also highlights an intriguing preference for maximal CP-violation in the non-standard sector with the NSI CP-phases having best fit close to $ϕ_{eμ} \sim ϕ_{eτ}\sim 3π/2$, hence pointing towards imaginary NSI couplings.

description: It is shown that superthin and superlong gravitational flux tube solutions in the 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity have the region $(\approx l_{Pl})$ where the metric signature changes from $\{+,-,-,-,- \}$ to $\{-,-,-,-,+ \}$. Such change is too quickly from one of the paradigms of quantum gravity which tells that the Planck length is the minimal length in the nature and consequently the physical quantities can not change very quickly in the course of this length. For avoiding such dynamic it is supposed that a pure quantum freezing of the dynamic of the $5^{th}$ dimension takes place. As the continuation of the flux tube metric in the longitudinal direction the Reissner-Nordström metric is proposed. In the consequence of such construction one can avoid the appearance of a point-like singularity in the extremal Reissner-Nordström solution.

The effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on endochondral bone development in the fetal rat

description: Maternal ethanol intake during pregnancy results in impairments in general growth and skeletal development. However, it is unknown if ethanol’s effects on skeletal development result from generalized growth retardation or effects specific to bone. Additionally, the level of ethanol exposure required to produce skeletal effects is unknown. The objective of this thesis was to determine if prenatal ethanol exposure has specific effects on bone development, in addition to its effects on general growth, in the fetal [i.e. fœtal ] rat. The studies in this thesis were designed to test the hypotheses that (1) prenatal ethanol exposure affects skeletal development at doses of ethanol lower than those required to affect general growth (assessed by fetal body weight and length), (2) skeletal sites differ in their sensitivity to the effects of prenatal ethanol exposure and (3) prenatal ethanol exposure disrupts the morphology of the growth plate of the fetal tibia. The first study examined the effect of different doses of ethanol (designed to approximate low, moderate and high levels of exposure) on fetal growth and skeletal development. This study showed that endochondral ossification was affected by a moderate level of ethanol exposure, whereas body weight and length were only affected by a high level of exposure. Furthermore, the effects of ethanol varied by bone, with bones that undergo more development in utero being more sensitive than bones that are less developed in utero. Taken together, these data indicate the ethanol’s effects on endochondral ossification are independent of ethanol’s effects on general growth and that ethanol may affect the later, rather than the earlier, stages of endochondral ossification. The second study examined the effect of a high level of ethanol exposure on the histological stages of fetal bone development in the tibia, one of the bones found to be most affected by ethanol exposure. Ethanol exposure resulted in decreased tibial length, which was due to a decrease in the length of the diaphysis rather than the epiphyses. In addition, ethanol exposure resulted in a decrease in the resting zone length (which was proportional to the decrease in total bone length) and an enlargement of the hypertrophic zone length. As there is increasing evidence to suggest that the intrauterine environment may influence long-term bone health, the effects of prenatal ethanol exposure on fetal skeletal development could potentially increase the offspring’s risk of osteoporosis later in life.

description: We present the metric for a rotating black hole with a cosmological constant and with arbitrary angular momenta in all higher dimensions. The metric is given in both Kerr-Schild and Boyer-Lindquist form. In the Euclidean-signature case, we also obtain smooth compact Einstein spaces on associated S^{D-2} bundles over S^2, infinitely many for each odd D\ge 5. Applications to string theory and M-theory are indicated.

description: We revisit the diagonal ridge feature (diagonal distributions in the $R, v_ϕ$ plane) found in $Gaia$ and present timing analysis for it between Galactocentric distances of $R=7.5$ and 12 \,kpc, using Main-Sequence-Turn-Off and OB stars selected from the LAMOST Galactic spectroscopic surveys. We recover the ridge pattern in the $R$--$v_ϕ$ plane color coded by mean radial velocity and find this feature is presented from very young (OB stars, few hundred \,Myr) to very old populations ($τ$ = 9$-$14 \,Gyr). Meanwhile, some ridge features are also revealed in the metallicity [Fe/H], [$α$/Fe] and $v_{z}$ distributions. In the $L_{Z}, v_ϕ$ plane, one of the ridge patterns, with constant angular momentum per unit mass, shows variations with different age populations compared. However, the remaining two ones are relatively stable, implying there might have two kinds of ridge patterns with different dynamical origins and evolution.

Tachyonic preheating using 2PI-1/N dynamics and the classical approximation

description: We study the process of tachyonic preheating using approximative quantum equations of motion derived from the 2PI effective action. The O(N) scalar (Higgs) field is assumed to experience a fast quench which is represented by an instantaneous flip of the sign of the mass parameter. The equations of motion are solved numerically on the lattice, and the Hartree and 1/N-NLO approximations are compared to the classical approximation. Classical dynamics is expected to be valid, since the occupation numbers can rise to large values during tachyonic preheating. We find that the classical approximation performs excellently at short and intermediate times, even for couplings in the larger region currently allowed for the SM Higgs. This is reassuring, since all previous numerical studies of tachyonic preheating and baryogenesis during tachyonic preheating have used classical dynamics. We also compare different initializations for the classical simulations.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen sozial benachteiligter Landarbeiter im südlichen Kalifornien. Um die derzeitige Situation einschätzen zu können, wurden klimatische Gegebenheiten, Bewohner, Lebensbedingungen und Bauweisen intensiv untersucht und daraus ein Anforderungsprofil abgeleitet. Der Bauplatz liegt im Coachella Valley südöstlich von Los Angeles. Die Zielgruppe setzt sich vorwiegend aus mexikanischen Landarbeitern zusammen, welche derzeit in prekären Verhältnissen leben. Für den Entwurf war es wichtig, eine leistbare und klimagerechte Bauweise in einer Wüstenregion zu finden, ohne soziale Gegebenheiten zu vernachlässigen. Eine Siedlung aus 116 individuell erweiterbaren Wohnhäusern ordnet sich um ein zentrales Gemeinschaftszentrum an. Dieses dient nicht nur den Bewohnern als Anlaufstelle und Treffpunkt, sondern soll auch für die umliegenden Siedlungen Angebote schaffen. Die entworfene Siedlungsstruktur unterscheidet sich auf Grund ihrer Dichte und ihres gemeinschaftlichen Charakters von den Gated Communitys der Mittelschicht. Dies spiegelt sich auch im Umgang mit Frei- und Zwischenräumen wieder, welche zum gemeinsamen sozialen Treffpunkt der Bewohner werden.
description: The present master thesis investigates the improvement of living conditions of socially deprived farmworkers in Southern California. In order to shed light on the current situation, the project investigates the local climate and living conditions as well as architectural and building techniques. These collectively informed the required project specifications. The construction site is located southeast of Los Angeles in the Coachella Valley. The target group is mainly composed of Mexican farmworkers, who currently live there in a precarious state. It was of utmost importance for the draft to find an affordable and climate-conscious construction approach in the desert region without neglecting social conditions. Therefore, a residential area of 116 individually extendable dwellings surrounds a central community center. This does not only serve the residents as a central contact and meeting point, but also attracts neighbouring areas with the community's offers. Due to its density and communal character, the designed residential structure appears in just a position with the middle-class dominated concept of gated communities. This is mirrored in the open areas between dwellings, which turn into areas for residents to socialise.

description: Monotone submodular maximization with a knapsack constraint is NP-hard. Various approximation algorithms have been devised to address this optimization problem. In this paper, we revisit the widely known modified greedy algorithm. First, we show that this algorithm can achieve an approximation factor of $0.405$, which significantly improves the known factors of $0.357$ given by Wolsey and $(1-1/\mathrm{e})/2\approx 0.316$ given by Khuller et al. More importantly, our analysis closes a gap in Khuller et al.'s proof for the extensively mentioned approximation factor of $(1-1/\sqrt{\mathrm{e}})\approx 0.393$ in the literature to clarify a long-standing misconception on this issue. Second, we enhance the modified greedy algorithm to derive a data-dependent upper bound on the optimum. We empirically demonstrate the tightness of our upper bound with a real-world application. The bound enables us to obtain a data-dependent ratio typically much higher than $0.405$ between the solution value of the modified greedy algorithm and the optimum. It can also be used to significantly improve the efficiency of algorithms such as branch and bound.
