Sponging the Chair: Diagramming Affect through Architecture and Performance
Creators: name: Hornblow, Michael
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Architecture not elsewhere classified

description: This doctoral research, conducted through both practice-based and theoretical inquiry, is located within the field of psychophysical performance practice, informed by and intersected with philosophical and architectural approaches to diagramming. The aim of the research is to develop ways of approaching and understanding how affectivity emerges and transforms in a particularly diagrammatic manner within a performative event. In particular, this is considered through the experience of an individual person, between people as intersubjective and collective bodies, and within the built environments they occupy. The research begins with the problem of attaining a condition of ‘openness’: a condition whereby performer(s) produce an affective, collectively held state of embodied presence. Affective openness may be recognized as moments in which we feel 'moved' by a performance - or when an inexplicable sense of potential seems to emerge that transforms our habitual perceptions of time, space and subjectivity. This opening to affectivity is a double-edged sword. It radically de-centers the subject, but in doing so allows a sense of shared constraint to act like an intangible glue, connecting individuals and even nonhuman or inanimate elements within the environment. This approach is very different to other performance practices such as Ballet or Contemporary Dance, especially in the way specific methods deal with sensation and movement, form and intention, memory and the image. A performer may enact a sense of openness between selves and/or things when the boundary conditions by which these qualities are habitually expressed become tentative or indeterminate. Because of the importance of objects, artifacts, and built environments as ‘intermediaries’ within these performances, a comparison with theories of architectural diagramming and situated cognition provides a broader context for the research practice. In particular, I draw on a Deleuzian notion of ‘the diagram’ - not in the conventional sense of a design document but rather as an abstract device for generating processes of transformation. In working through the experience of developing my own performance practice, alongside theories of diagramming and affect, I develop specific principles and procedures for generating openness. I draw on my training in Butoh dance and Grotowski physical theatre method to consider how bodies and selves are affected by the way they situate themselves within a given site. Objects, artifacts, and built environments are seen to stand in as intermediaries for holding open a tentative disposition and through which collective shifts in affectivity may occur.
Constraints on cosmic hemispherical power anomalies from quasars

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Recent analyses of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps from the WMAP satellite have uncovered evidence for a hemispherical power anomaly, i.e. a dipole modulation of the CMB power spectrum at large angular scales with an amplitude of +/-14 percent. Erickcek et al have put forward an inflationary model to explain this anomaly. Their scenario is a variation on the curvaton scenario in which the curvaton possesses a large-scale spatial gradient that modulates the amplitude of CMB fluctuations. We show that this scenario would also lead to a spatial gradient in the amplitude of perturbations sigma_8, and hence to a dipole asymmetry in any highly biased tracer of the underlying density field. Using the high-redshift quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we find an upper limit on such a gradient of |nabla sigma_8|/sigma_8<0.027/r_{lss} (99% posterior probability), where r_{lss} is the comoving distance to the last-scattering surface. This rules out the simplest version of the curvaton spatial gradient scenario.

description: Discourses in the historical (or narrative) use of the simple present in English prohibit backshifting, though they allow forward sequencing. Unlike both reference time theories and discourse coherence theories of these temporal inferences, we propose that backshifting has a different source from narrative progression. In particular, we argue that backshifting arises through anaphora to a salient event in the preceding discourse. Keywords: tense, discourse coherence, coherence relations, perspective.

description: Security for the mostly constrained devices forming the IoT is an active field of research. In this paper, we propose two CoAP Options, HMAC1/HMAC2 and Crypt1/Crypt2 complementing our previous work on Lightweight Capability Based Access Control (LCap). This results in a lightweight, flexible, and complete solution for application layer security for CoAP nodes with severely limited memory. In our evaluation, we show that a pure software implementation without cryptographic hardware acceleration is feasible for practical use on highly constrained IoT devices. Due to mostly idiomatic use of cryptography, existing security analyses apply to our proposal. Our security framework was designed with ample focus on reducing the complexity of the system, which allows lean implementations and simplifies security reviews. This makes LCap based security a good fit for security in the IoT.

description: The marketing engagement of Internet of Things (IoT) shows a wide vista together with Industry 4.0 regarding modern manufacturing and services. However, the evolution of technologies and rising regulation concerns regarding security and privacy are bring challenges to IoT solutions. On one side, the security analysis of IoT solutions has to consider the security posture in a much wider scope including both edge and cloud sides even across global geo-locations. On the other side, new regulation requirements demand a full tracking of data access. In addition, authorizations should be evaluated explicitly and can be revoked any time for maximizing data protection. Both challenges can be solved by implementing a novel security model targeting those requirements while zero trust model is a good candidate. Thus in this paper, we compared the most commonly used perimeter security model and the zero trust model under the circumstance for modern IoT solutions. Furthermore, from the regulation perspective, the concepts of zero trust model are analyzed to show its compliance with regulation requirements. For easing the discussion of IoT solutions, a general IoT architecture is proposed and relevant zero trust model implementations are described. Especially, the zero trust model relevant security controls are highlighted as a guidance for the design of IoT solutions. As the conclusion, we propose a general implementation of zero trust model within the context of IoT solution to solve the challenges facing by the industry.
Acquaintance content and obviation

Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2018

description: This paper is about what Ninan (2014) (following Wollheim 1980) calls the Acquaintance Inference (AI): a firsthand experience requirement imposed by several subjective expressions such as Predicates of Personal Taste (PPTs) (delicious). In general, one is entitled to calling something delicious only upon having tried it. This requirement can be lifted, disappearing in scope of elements that we will call obviators. The paper investigates the patterns of AI obviation for PPTs and similar constructions (e.g., psych predicates and subjective attitudes). We show that the cross-constructional variation in when acquaintance requirements can be obviated presents challenges for previous accounts of the AI (Pearson 2013, Ninan 2014). In place of these, we argue for the existence of two kinds of acquaintance content: (i) that of bare PPTs; and (ii) that of psych predicates, subjective attitudes and overt experiencer PPTs. For (i), we propose that the AI arises from an evidential restriction that is dependent on a parameter of interpretation which obviators update. For (ii), we argue that the AI is a classic presupposition. We model both (i) and (ii) using von Fintel and Gillies’s (2010) framework for directness and thus connect two strands of research: that on PPTs and that on epistemic modals. Both phenomena are sensitive to a broad direct-indirect distinction, and analyzing them along similar lines can help shed light on how natural language conceptualizes evidence in general. Keywords: evidentiality, firsthand experience, knowledge, predicates of personal taste, subjectivity

Intertwined: An investigation into becoming an artist and teacher
Creators: name: MacDonald, Abbey
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Specialist studies in education not elsewhere classified

description: This study investigates becoming an artist and teacher and, in doing so, explores the ways that artist and teaching practices interact and the implications this interaction can have upon beginning teachers’ transition into professional practice. The impetus for this study derives from an identified need for research to deliver further insight into the challenges inherent to becoming an artist and teacher (Graham & Zwirn, 2010; Hall, 2010). A hybridised methodology is adopted, where methods integral to autoethnography, narrative inquiry and a/r/tography are drawn together to generate a series of intricately layered insights into becoming an artist and a teacher. The study explores becoming an artist and teacher from three distinct participant perspectives: early career (myself), and established and master artist and teacher (two other participants). Within this hybridised framework, I interweave the creative and analytic, where our perspectives of experience acknowledge how "the self does not exist in isolation” (Griffin, 1999, p. 51), and we can explore becoming through the shaping and sharing of our stories. Subsequently, this study encourages powerful connection making where the creative qualities of the study help activate and increase reader transferability (Huberman, 1989; Webster & Mertova, 2007). The reader is introduced to an eclectic collection of literature pertinent to what is already known about becoming an artist and teacher. It is here that the analytical lenses through which the reader is encouraged to examine the ways artists and teachers attend to the negotiation of relationships inherent to their practices are extrapolated. In examining the literature around artists, teachers and the formation of professional identity and practice, I surface what is already known in regard to how and why artists become teachers, and how pre-service art teachers are prepared for the challenges of professional practice and negotiating balance between artist and teacher selves. In offering an existing picture of what is already known about becoming an artist and a teacher, the reader can orient themselves with the issues identified as being at the heart of the research reported in this thesis.

description: New challenges in the field of automotive systems (e.g. autonomous driving) require innovative and highly robust vehicle architectures. These are intended to increase the reliability and fault tolerance of the system and therefore realize the transition from Fail-Save to Fail-Operational behavior. Organic computing is a possible approach to achieve these goals. Based on an artificial hormone system and an artificial DNA, a novel organic control unit concept exists. In this paper we introduce an evaluation tool for this novel concept. Therefore, a simulator physically models the longitudinal and lateral dynamics of a vehicle. For an easy handling, visualization and reproducibility of experiments, an user interface and a scripting language are designed. In extensive evaluation runs the usability of the vehicle simulator is tested. Hereby, real vehicle data is used.
Hadronic versus leptonic origin of the gamma-ray emission from Supernova Remnant RX J1713.7-3946

description: Aims. The hadronic vs. leptonic origin of the gamma-ray emission from the Supernova Remnant RX J1713.7-3946 is discussed both in the light of new observations and from a theoretical point of view. Methods. The existing good spatial correlation of the gamma-ray emission and the nonthermal X-ray emission is analyzed theoretically. In addition, the recently published new H.E.S.S. observations define the energy spectrum more precisely, in particular at the high and low energy ends of the instrument's dynamical range. There now exist much more constraining X-ray observations from Suzaku that extend substantially beyond 10 keV. These new data are compared with the authors' previous theoretical predictions, both for dominant hadronic and for simple inverse Compton models. Results. Apart from the well-known MHD correlation between magnetic field strength and plasma density variations, emphasized by the wind-bubble-structure of the remnant, it is argued that the regions of magnetic field amplification also are correlated with enhanced densities of accelerated nuclear particles and the associated streaming instabilities. Therefore a correlation of nonthermal X-ray and \gr emission is not only possible but even to be expected for a hadronic emission scenario. A leptonic origin of the gamma-ray emission would require an implausibly uniform strength of the magnetic field. The observational and theoretical inferences about substantial field amplification in this remnant agree very well with the recent X-ray and \gr observations. Conclusions. All this argues strongly for the dominance of hadronic \grs in the \gr emission spectrum and a fortiori for an overwhelming contribution of nuclear cosmic ray particles to the nonthermal energy in this remnant.

description: Distributed heuristics have shown promising results in handling difficult optimization and coordination tasks in smart grids, which often have to deal with large numbers of components, distributed information and real time constraints. Some of these heuristics are distributed on an algorithmic level. This means that the way information is exchanged between the distributed units can effect the efficiency of the algorithm, in terms of computational effort, message volume, and convergence speed. It may even impact the effectiveness, i.e. the solution quality. The performance of control systems is of utmost importance for stable and optimal operation of critical infrastructure in smart grids. Therefore, factors influencing the effectiveness and efficiency, like the communication topology, must be thoroughly investigated in order to both initially configure them optimally and react appropriately to undesired behavior at runtime. The impact of the communication topology is studied with an experimental setup, using COHDA as an example heuristic. Systematic experiments are performed with various topologies and varying numbers of agents to illustrate the importance of a solid and maybe even dynamic choice of the communication topology for distributed heuristics in smart grid applications.

description: We report on phase-referenced 23 GHz Very-Long-Baseline-Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the type IIb supernova SN 2008ax, made with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) on 2 April 2008 (33 days after explosion). These observations resulted in a marginal detection of the supernova. The total flux density recovered from our VLBI image is 0.8$\pm$0.3 mJy (one standard deviation). As it appears, the structure may be interpreted as either a core-jet or a double source. However, the supernova structure could be somewhat confused with a possible close by noise peak. In such a case, the recovered flux density would decrease to 0.48$\pm$0.12 mJy, compatible with the flux densities measured with the VLA at epochs close in time to our VLBI observations. The lowest average expansion velocities derived from our observations are $(1.90 \pm 0.30) \times 10^5$ km s$^{-1}$ (case of a double source) and $(5.2 \pm 1.3) \times 10^4$ km s$^{-1}$ (taking the weaker source component as a spurious, close by, noise peak, which is the more likely interpretation). These velocities are 7.3 and 2 times higher, respectively, than the maximum ejecta velocity inferred from optical-line observations.

description: According to the process acceptance theory, the acceptance of processes can have an influence on their correct execution. If deviations and manipulations of processes of any kind are to be excluded, it is necessary to understand which factors lead to a change in acceptance. In the present paper, a large scale experimental study is carried out to investigate the influence of the number of process activities and the process throughput time on acceptance. A generic purchasing process is implemented online and executed in variants by the participants of the study. Process acceptance is measured using a questionnaire in three dimensions of attitude (cognitive, affective, conative). The analysis demonstrates that there is a significant difference in acceptance with regard to varying process throughput time as a measure of process length.

description: We present predictions for the fluorescent Lyman-alpha emission signature arising from photoionized, optically thick structures in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) cosmological simulations of a Lambda-CDM universe using a Monte Carlo Lyman-alpha radiative transfer code. We calculate the expected Lyman-alpha image and 2-dimensional spectra for gas exposed to a uniform ultraviolet ionizing background as well as gas exposed additionally to the photoionizing radiation from a local quasar, after correcting for the self-shielding of hydrogen. As a test of our numerical methods and for application to current observations, we examine simplified analytic structures that are uniformly or anisotropically illuminated. We compare these results with recent observations. We discuss future observing campaigns on large telescopes and realistic strategies for detecting fluorescence owing to the ambient metagalactic ionization and in regions close to bright quasars. While it will take hundreds of hours on the current generation of telescopes to detect fluorescence caused by the ultraviolet background (UVB) alone, our calculations suggest that of order ten sources of quasar-induced fluorescent Lyman-alpha emission should be detectable after a 10 hour exposure in a 10 arcmin^2 field around a bright quasar. These observations will help probe the physical conditions in the densest regions of the intergalactic medium as well as the temporal light curves and isotropy of quasar radiation.

Quantification in event semantics: generalized quantifiers vs. sub-events
Creators: name: Alexeyenko, Sascha
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2018

description: The goal of this paper is to evaluate two approaches to quantification in event semantics, namely the analysis of quantificational DPs in terms of generalized quantifiers and the analysis proposed in Schein (1993) according to which quantifiers over individuals contain an existential quantifier over sub-events in their scope. Both analyses capture the fact that the event quantifier always takes scope under quantifiers over individuals (the Event Type Principle in Landman (2000)), but the sub-events analysis has also been argued to be able to account for some further data, namely for adverbs qualifying ‘ensemble’ events and for mixed cumulative/ distributive readings. This paper shows that the sub-events analysis also provides a better account of the Event Type Principle if a broader range of data is considered, including cases with non-existential quantifiers over events: unlike the generalized quantifiers analysis, it can successfully account for the interpretation of indefinites in bare habituals and sentences that contain overt adverbs of quantification. Keywords: quantification, event semantics, generic quantifier, habituals, Q-adverbs.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We derive a factorization theorem that describes an energetic hadron h fragmenting from a jet produced by a parton i, where the jet invariant mass is measured. The analysis yields a "fragmenting jet function" G_i^h(s,z) that depends on the jet invariant mass s, and on the energy fraction z of the fragmentation hadron. We show that G^h_i can be computed in terms of perturbatively calculable coefficients, J_{ij}(s,z/x), integrated against standard non-perturbative fragmentation functions, D_j^{h}(x). We also show that the sum over h of the integral over z of z G_i^h(s,z) is given by the standard inclusive jet function J_i(s) which is perturbatively calculable in QCD. We use Soft-Collinear Effective Theory and for simplicity carry out our derivation for a process with a single jet, B -> X h l nu, with invariant mass m_{X h}^2 >> Lambda_QCD^2. Our analysis yields a simple replacement rule that allows any factorization theorem depending on an inclusive jet function J_i to be converted to a semi-inclusive process with a fragmenting hadron h. We apply this rule to derive factorization theorems for B -> X K gamma which is the fragmentation to a Kaon in b -> s gamma, and for e^+e^- -> (dijets)+h with measured hemisphere dijet invariant masses.

Korean classifier-less number constructions
Creators: name: Ahn, Dorothy
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2018

description: Korean is a generalized classifier language where classifiers are required for numerals to combine with nominals. This paper presents a number construction where the classifier is absent and the numeral appears prenominally. This construction, which I call the classifier-less number construction (Cl-less NC), results in a definite or a partitive reading where the referent must be familiar: ‘the two women’ or ‘two of the women’. In order to account for this, I argue that Korean postnominal number constructions are ambiguous between a plain number construction and a partitive construction. After motivating and proposing an analysis for the partitive structure, I argue that Cl-less NC is derived from the partitive construction, explaining its distributional restriction and the interpretation. Keywords: number construction, classifiers, partitives, Korean.

Content vs. function words: the view from distributional semantics

name: Asher, Nicholas

Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2018

description: Counter to the often assumed division of labour between content and function words, we argue that both types of words have lexical content in addition to their logical content. We propose that the difference between the two types of words is a difference in degree. We conducted a preliminary study of quantificational determiners with methods from Distributional Semantics, a computational approach to natural language semantics. Our findings have implications both for distributional and formal semantics. For distributional semantics, they indicate a possible avenue that can be used to tap into the meaning of function words. For formal semantics, they bring into light the context-sensitive, lexical aspects of function words that can be recovered from the data even when these aspects are not overtly marked. Such pervasive context-sensitivity has profound implications for how we think about meaning in natural language. Keywords: function words, lexical semantics, determiners, distributional semantics.

description: The next-to-minimal supersymmetric model (NMSSM) with a large lambda (the mixing parameter between the singlet and doublet Higgs fields) is well motivated since it can significantly push up the upper bound on the SM-like Higgs boson mass to solve the little hierarchy problem. In this work we examine the current experimental constraints on the NMSSM with a large lambda, which include the direct search for Higgs boson and sparticles at colliders, the indirect constraints from precision electroweak measurements, the cosmic dark matter relic density, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, as well as the stability of the Higgs potential. We find that, with the increase of lambda, parameters like tan-beta, M_A, mu and M_2 are becoming more stringently constrained. It turns out that the maximal reach of lambda is limited by the muon anomalous magnetic moment, and for smuon masses of 200 GeV (500 GeV) the parameter space with lambda > 1.5 (0.6) is excluded.

Ordinary things: an archaeology of public housing
Creators: name: Flanagan, Kathleen
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

Subjects: Urban sociology and community studies

description: This thesis identifies and describes a major discursive discontinuity in public housing policy in Tasmania, Australia. It contributes to literature on the formation, practice and consequences of public housing policy in Australia. The consensus in this literature is that, in the 1970s, emerging neoliberal modes of practice shaped a series of policy reforms which have produced significant problems with the sustainability, effectiveness and reputation of public housing. My findings challenge this analysis. From the mid-1940s, state housing authorities built large housing estates so as to enable home ownership by working class families. More recently, policy-makers have pursued reforms reducing public housing to a remnant of semi-crisis provision for people with complex needs while simultaneously fostering capacity, supply and innovation through community housing. These reforms are associated with growing, generalised hostility towards public housing. In this thesis, I ask how this hostility has been able to emerge and evolve. I have addressed this question by applying Foucauldian ‘archaeology’ to the archive of the Tasmanian Housing Department. This approach reconceptualises historical ‘facts’ as raw material organised according to systems of discursive ‘rules’ into formations that produce knowledge. I found that the difference between past and present knowledge about public housing in Tasmania is the manifestation of a significant discontinuity, tentatively dated to the late 1970s and early 1980s and constituted by six significant shifts in discursive practice. The resulting re-ordering of discursive material has produced the knowledge that public housing is a form of welfare directed at dysfunctional subjects. I argue that this discontinuity was produced, not by ‘neoliberalism’, but by a more fundamental reconfiguration in the order of discourse, one which replaced a system of discursive organisation in which subjects are constituted according to their material surroundings with one in which everything is ordered in relation to the individual. My findings problematise the relationship between current policy and neoliberalism by demonstrating the complexity of the discursive field perpetuating it. I have contributed both an original account of localised policy change with resonance for the wider Australian housing system and a worked example of how archaeology can explicate the discursive scaffolding of what we know about the world we live in.
Wie generisch ist das generische Maskulinum? Über Genus und Sexus im Deutschen

description: This paper examines whether gender features (masculine, feminine, neuter) in German have to be interpreted semantically, along their specific gender, or whether they allow for a gender unrelated interpretation. As to this, two experiments with two different classes of nouns (gender marked and sex marked nouns vs. gender marked and sex neutral nouns) were conducted. The first experiment supports the view that in their function as nominal predicates masculine nouns, contrary to feminine (and neuter) nouns, have the widest extension – which confirms the existence of a ‘Generic Masculine’ (Generisches Maskulinum). On the other hand, the second experiment shows that in their function as subjects masculine nouns, contrary to feminine (and neuter) nouns, are the least flexible agreement controllers – hardly allowing for gender mismatches. Thus, masculine nouns behave differently depending on whether they appear as controllers/sources of agreement or as targets of agreement. The findings are supplemented by corpus data.

description: A test is said to control for type I error if it is unlikely to reject the data-generating process. However, if it is possible to produce stochastic processes at random such that, for all possible future realizations of the data, the selected process is unlikely to be rejected, then the test is said to be manipulable. So, a manipulable test has essentially no capacity to reject a strategic expert. Many tests proposed in the existing literature, including calibration tests, control for type I error but are manipulable. We construct a test that controls for type I error and is nonmanipulable.

"Habt ihr schon mal davon gehört gehabt?" Empirische Evidenzen zur Akzeptanz des doppelten Perfekts und Plusquamperfekts in der deutschen Sprache
Creators: name: Stoltmann, Katarzyna
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2018

description: "Habt ihr schon mal davon gehört gehabt?" Fällt Ihnen bei diesem Satz etwas auf? Wie würden Sie den Satz interpretieren, insbesondere die Zeitform des Prädikates hören? Weist sie, Ihrer Meinung nach, eher auf Expressivität, seine Abgeschlossenheit, die (Vor-)Vorvergangenheit eines Geschehens oder eine einfache Vergangenheit hin? Im letzteren Fall würde der Satz die gleiche Semantik ausdrücken wie ohne das zweite Partizip II: Habt ihr schon mal davon gehört? Im Fokus dieser Arbeit stehen empirische Evidenzen zum Gebrauch des doppelten Perfekts und Plusquamperfekts in der deutschen Sprache. Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung wurde ein Fragebogen mit 202 deutschen Muttersprachlern durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zeigen, dass das doppelte Plusquamperfekt bei der Interpretation von ca. 86% der untersuchten deutschen Muttersprachler akzeptiert wird. Weiterhin deuten die Ergebnisse dieser Studie auf viele Unterschiede bei der Akzeptanz der doppelten Konstruktionen zwischen Studierenden verschiedener Fachrichtungen hin.

Scripts Heatwaves analysis of Russo and Domeisen 2023 (Geophysics Research Letters) - "Increasing intensity of extreme Heatwaves: the crucial role of metrics"
Creators: name: Russo, Emmanuele
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: R scripts used for the analysis of Heatwaves performed on ERA5-Land data and included in the Geophysical Research Letters manuscript of Russo, E. and Domeisen, D., with the title: "Increasing intensity of extreme Heatwaves: the crucial role of metrics". The archive file contains the following scripts:

 - HWMId_singleday_1950-2021_ERA5_p1_zenodo.R: computes the HWMId intensity index of Russo et al. 2015 for boreal summer (JJA) and a selected subdomain - HW_perkins_ERA5_seas_p1.R: computes the HEATcum and AVI heatwave intensity indices derived from Perkins and Lewis 2020, for JJA and a selected subdomain - split_seas_HWMId_ERA5_p1_zenodo.R: assign HWMId values of heatwaves occurring in between two seasons to a specific season. - split_seas_HW_perkins_ERA5_p1.R: assign HEATcum and AVI values of heatwaves occurring in between two seasons to a specific season. - ymax_cumheat_global_ERA5_set1.R: calculate maximum values of HWMId over the entire period 1950-2021 - ymax_HWMId_global_ERA5_set1_zenodo.R: calculate maximum values of HEATcum and AVI over the entire period 1950-2021 The scripts do not include the calculation of the intensity index AVA since the script used for computing this metric in the paper of Russo and Domeisen 2023 is the same as the one of AVI (beside the fact that in the first case we use averaged values of the anomalies of daily maximum temperatures instead of absolute temperatures.)

description: Wollen sich Unternehmen im Zuge der Digitalisierung der damit verbundenen Dynamik stellen, reicht es nicht, agile Ansätze nur in der IT-Entwicklung anzuwenden. Auch das Management der Geschäftsprozesse sollte der Dynamik Rechnung tagen. Diese Arbeit untersucht auf Basis einer systematischen Literaturanalyse, welche Ansätze zur Umsetzung von Agilität im Geschäftsprozessmanagement vorgeschlagen werden. Der aktuelle Stand der Wissenschaft auf diesem Gebiet wird systematisiert und zukünftig notwendige Entwicklungen werden abgeleitet.
Desintegration versus Parordination bei 'obwohl'- und 'weil'- Konstruktionen
Creators: name: Frey, Werner

Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2018

description: In the paper, German disintegrated verb-final 'obwohl' (‘although’) and 'weil' (‘because’) clauses are compared with constructions in which 'obwohl' and 'weil' precedes clauses with main clause word order. The former constructions constitute independent, yet subsidiary speech acts. Thus, the subordinating connectors and the positioning of the verb do not indicate syntactic but textual dependency. The latter constructions are of a very different kind. Here, 'obwohl' and 'weil' do not form a constituent with the following clause. Instead, they appear as syntactically independent discourse markers connecting two discourse units. As discourse markers, 'obwohl' and 'weil' obtain their special syntactic and semantic properties as elements of the derived, but independent module of Thetic Grammar.

A Scale-Dependent Power Asymmetry from Isocurvature Perturbations

description: If the hemispherical power asymmetry observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on large angular scales is attributable to a superhorizon curvaton fluctuation, then the simplest model predicts that the primordial density fluctuations should be similarly asymmetric on all smaller scales. The distribution of high-redshift quasars was recently used to constrain the power asymmetry on scales k ~ 1.5h/Mpc, and the upper bound on the amplitude of the asymmetry was found to be a factor of six smaller than the amplitude of the asymmetry in the CMB. We show that it is not possible to generate an asymmetry with this scale dependence by changing the relative contributions of the inflaton and curvaton to the adiabatic power spectrum. Instead, we consider curvaton scenarios in which the curvaton decays after dark matter freezes out, thus generating isocurvature perturbations. If there is a superhorizon fluctuation in the curvaton field, then the rms amplitude of these perturbations will be asymmetric, and the asymmetry will be most apparent on large angular scales in the CMB. We find that it is only possible to generate the observed asymmetry in the CMB while satisfying the quasar constraint if the curvaton's contribution to the total dark matter density is small, but nonzero. The model also requires that the majority of the primordial power comes from fluctuations in the inflaton field. Future observations and analyses of the CMB will test this model because the power asymmetry generated by this model has a specific spectrum, and the model requires that the current upper bounds on isocurvature power are nearly saturated.
