High Energy Cosmic Rays From Supernovae
Creators: name: Morlino, Giovanni
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Cosmic rays are charged relativistic particles that reach the Earth with extremely high energies, providing striking evidence of the existence of effective accelerators in the Universe. Below an energy around $\sim 10^{17}$ eV cosmic rays are believed to be produced in the Milky Way while above that energy their origin is probably extragalactic. In the early '30s supernovae were already identified as possible sources for the Galactic component of cosmic rays. After the '70s this idea has gained more and more credibility thanks to the the development of the diffusive shock acceleration theory, which provides a robust theoretical framework for particle energization in astrophysical environments. Afterwards, mostly in recent years, much observational evidence has been gathered in support of this framework, converting a speculative idea in a real paradigm. In this Chapter the basic pillars of this paradigm will be illustrated. This includes the acceleration mechanism, the non linear effects produced by accelerated particles onto the shock dynamics needed to reach the highest energies, the escape process from the sources and the transportation of cosmic rays through the Galaxy. The theoretical picture will be corroborated by discussing several observations which support the idea that supernova remnants are effective cosmic ray factories.

description: The Vlasov-Maxwell equations possess a Hamiltonian structure expressed in terms of a Hamiltonian functional and a functional bracket. In the present paper, the transformation ("lift") of the Vlasov-Maxwell bracket induced by the dynamical reduction of single-particle dynamics is investigated when the reduction is carried out by Lie-transform perturbation methods. The ultimate goal of this work is to derive explicit Hamiltonian formulations for the guiding-center and gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations that have important applications in our understanding of turbulent magnetized plasmas. Here, it is shown that the general form of the reduced Vlasov-Maxwell equations possesses a Hamiltonian structure defined in terms of a reduced Hamiltonian functional and a reduced bracket that automatically satisfies the standard bracket properties.

description: Extremale Gitter im Sinne von Quebbemann sind in vielen Fällen interessante Kandidaten für dichte oder sogar dichteste Kugelpackungen wie etwa das Coxeter-Todd-Gitter in Dimension 12 oder auch das Barnes-Wall-Gitter in Dimension 16. In dieser Arbeit wird zunächst die bestehende Theorie zu extremalen Gittern kompakt zusammengefasst und um einige Resultate wie beispielsweise der Nicht-Negativität der Fourier-Koeffizienten der extremalen Modulform in verschiedenen Fällen ergänzt. Als ein erstes Hauptresultat der Arbeit folgt der Beweis der Nicht-Existenz eines extremalen Gitters der Dimension 24 und Determinante 7^12. Im Weiteren werden im Wesentlichen mit Hilfe von algebraischen Zahlkörpern einige bislang nicht bekannte extremale Gitter konstruiert. Insbesondere ist hier ein extremales Gitter in Dimension 32 der Determinante 2^16 und einem Automorphismus der Ordnung 7 zu nennen, welches den bestehenden Packungsdichte-Rekord einstellt. Die entwickelten Methoden erlauben zudem die Klassifikation extremaler Gitter mit gewissen Zusatzeigenschaften wie etwa einem Automorphismus von Primzahlordnung oder einer Struktur über einem Kreisteilungskörper.
description: Extremal lattices in the sense of Quebbemann are often interesting candidates for dense or even densest sphere packings like e.g. the Coxeter-Todd lattice in dimension 12 or the Barnes-Wall lattice in dimension 16. In this thesis the existing theory of extremal lattices is briefly summarized and supplemented with some results like the non-negativity of the Fourier coefficients of the extremal modular form in different cases. As a first main result a proof of the non-existence of an extremal lattice in dimension 24 and determinant 7^12 is given. Moreover, essentially by means of algebraic number fields some not yet known extremal lattices are constructed. In particular, one has to mention an extremal lattice in dimension 32 of determinant 2^16 with an automorphism of order 7, which sets the existing packing density record. The developed methods also allow the classification of extremal lattices with certain additional properties such as an automorphism of prime order or a structure over a cyclotomic field.

Application of a resource theory for magic states to fault-tolerant quantum computing

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Motivated by their necessity for most fault-tolerant quantum computation schemes, we formulate a resource theory for magic states. We first show that robustness of magic is a well-behaved magic monotone that operationally quantifies the classical simulation overhead for a Gottesman-Knill type scheme using ancillary magic states. Our framework subsequently finds immediate application in the task of synthesizing non-Clifford gates using magic states. When magic states are interspersed with Clifford gates, Pauli measurements and stabilizer ancillas - the most general synthesis scenario - then the class of synthesizable unitaries is hard to characterize. Our techniques can place non-trivial lower bounds on the number of magic states required for implementing a given target unitary. Guided by these results we have found new and optimal examples of such synthesis.

description: We study the static cosmological solutions and their stability at background level in the framework of massive bigravity theory with Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metrics. By the modification proposed in the cosmological equations subject to a perfect fluid we obtain new solutions interpreted as the Einstein static universe. It turns out that the non-vanishing size of initial scale factor of Einstein static universe depends on the non-vanishing three-dimensional spatial curvature of FRW metrics and also the graviton's mass. By dynamical system approach and numerical analysis, we find that the extracted solutions for closed and open universes can be stable for some viable ranges of equation of state parameter, viable values of fraction of two scale factors, and viable values of graviton's mass obeying the hierarchy $m << M_Pl$ which is more cosmologically motivated.

description: We consider rotating black hole solutions in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with a negative cosmological constant and a generic value of the Chern-Simons coupling constant $λ$. Using both analytical and numerical techniques, we focus on cohomogeneity-1 configurations, with two equal-magnitude angular momenta, which approach at infinity a globally AdS background. We find that the generic solutions share a number of basic properties with the known Cvetic, Lü and Pope black holes which have $λ=1$. New features occur as well, for example, when the Chern-Simons coupling constant exceeds a critical value, the solutions are no longer uniquely determined by their global charges. Moreover, the black holes possess radial excitations which can be labelled by the node number of the magnetic gauge potential function. Solutions with small values of $λ$ possess other distinct features. For instance, the extremal black holes there form two disconnected branches, while not all near-horizon solutions are associated with global solutions.

title: Synthesis and Processing of High Entropy Materials and their Integration into Lithium Batteries
Creators: name: Cui, Yanyan
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: With the increasing demand for renewable energy sources such as solar, geothermal, and wind energy, the development of efficient energy storage devices is necessary. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been considered a potentially revolutionary technology for storing renewable energy due to their advantages of low self-discharge, long life span, high output voltage, and high energy density. Over the past few decades, LIBs have undergone extensive development in both industry and academia. In current LIB technology, the cell voltage and capacity are primarily determined by the electrode materials, which also dominate the battery cost. Therefore, exploring alternative electrode materials and investigating their structure-composition-performance relationships is essential for further development. Recently, the use of the high entropy concept to develop materials is gaining significant interest. The high entropy concept is derived from high entropy alloys (HEAs), which possess high configurational entropy (Sconfig) by incorporating 5 or more elements into a single-phase structure, leading to the so-called “cocktail effect”, where the multiple synergies among the constituent elements may result in additional or changed properties. That means HEMs can have the potential to outperform the parent material system. Inspired by the high entropy concept, high entropy oxides (HEOs) were investigated as a new class of conversion electrode materials for LIBs, which show unexpected reversibility due to their unique structural stability. These unexpected findings have stimulated many recent studies on the performance of high entropy materials in electrochemical energy storage devices. In this work, a new photonic curing method was used to synthesize high entropy oxides for more rapid and efficient synthesis. The material was used as a binder-free electrode material for LIBs. Since HEO has a high mixed lithium-ion and electronic conductivity at room temperature, HEO was also synthesized by the photonic curing method for coating on NCM851005. In addition, the mechanism as a coating material for performance improvement was investigated. Inspired by the application of HEO as a conversion electrode material as an anode, high-entropy fluorides (HEFs), as conversion materials, were synthesized and used as cathode materials for LIBs and their underlying storage mechanisms were investigated. Due to the elemental dissolution of metal fluorides during cycling, high entropy oxides have also been studied as a coating for HEFs. The application and research of high entropy materials in electrode materials provide new guidelines for designing and manufacturing new electrode materials for LIBs.

Optimal Hamiltonian Simulation by Quantum Signal Processing

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The physics of quantum mechanics is the inspiration for, and underlies, quantum computation. As such, one expects physical intuition to be highly influential in the understanding and design of many quantum algorithms, particularly simulation of physical systems. Surprisingly, this has been challenging, with current Hamiltonian simulation algorithms remaining abstract and often the result of sophisticated but unintuitive constructions. We contend that physical intuition can lead to optimal simulation methods by showing that a focus on simple single-qubit rotations elegantly furnishes an optimal algorithm for Hamiltonian simulation, a universal problem that encapsulates all the power of quantum computation. Specifically, we show that the query complexity of implementing time evolution by a $d$-sparse Hamiltonian $\hat{H}$ for time-interval $t$ with error $ε$ is $\mathcal{O}(td\|\hat{H}\|_{\text{max}}+\frac{\log{(1/ε)}}{\log{\log{(1/ε)}}})$, which matches lower bounds in all parameters. This connection is made through general three-step "quantum signal processing" methodology, comprised of (1) transducing eigenvalues of $\hat{H}$ into a single ancilla qubit, (2) transforming these eigenvalues through an optimal-length sequence of single-qubit rotations, and (3) projecting this ancilla with near unity success probability.

description: Hydrodynamic interactions in systems comprised of self-propelled particles, such as swimming microorganisms, and passive tracers have a significant impact on the tracer dynamics compared to the equivalent "dry" sample. However, such interactions are often difficult to take into account in simulations due to their computational cost. Here, we perform a systematic investigation of swimmer-tracer interaction using an efficient force/counter-force based lattice-Boltzmann (LB) algorithm [J. de Graaf~\textit{et al.}, J. Chem. Phys.~\textbf{144}, 134106 (2016)] in order to validate its ability to capture the relevant low-Reynolds-number physics. We show that the LB algorithm reproduces far-field theoretical results well, both in a system with periodic boundary conditions and in a spherical cavity with no-slip walls, for which we derive expressions here. The force-lattice coupling of the LB algorithm leads to a "smearing out" of the flow field, which strongly perturbs the tracer trajectories at close swimmer-tracer separations, and we analyze how this effect can be accurately captured using a simple renormalized hydrodynamic theory. Finally, we show that care must be taken when using LB algorithms to simulate systems of self-propelled particles, since its finite momentum transport time can lead to significant deviations from theoretical predictions based on Stokes flow. These insights should prove relevant to the future study of large-scale microswimmer suspensions using these methods.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit geht davon aus, dass jeder ournalismus ein Teil der eigenständigen Kultur eines Landes ist. Aus diesem Auspekt versucht sie herauszufinden, mit welchenEigenschaften die koreanische journalistische Kultur zu identifizieren ist. Dabei wird die journalistische Kultur in Korea im Hinblick auf den gesellschaftlichen Wandel, vor allem auf die politische Transformation vom Autoritarismus zur Demokratie nach 1987, betrachtet, um zu überprüfen, ob eine systemübergreifende journalistische Kultur in Korea zubeobachten ist.Aus der chronologischen Epochenbeschreibung des koreanischen Journalismus und seiner Rahmenbedingungen lässt sich feststellen, dass die politische Transformation zur Demokratie eine wesentliche Veränderung der Rahmenbedingungen für den koreanischen Journalismus darstellt und der größte Einflussfaktor von der politischen Macht zum Kapital überging. Auf dem Wettbewerbsmarkt richtete sich der koreansiche Journalismus nach dem Wettbewerbs- und Effizienzprinzip und suchte sein Muster im U. S. amerikanischen Journalismus, während die Spuren des Einflusses des kulturnahen japanischen Journalismusgeringer wurden. Auch beim Selbstverständnis von koreanischen Journalisten ist eine Veränderung auffällig: Das idealisierte Rollenbild des jisa, der sich für politischgesellschaftlicheZiele einsetzt, machte im Kommerzialisierungsprozess des koreanischen Journalismus der Rolle als neutralem Berichterstatter Platz.Ausserdem stellt ein Vergleich der Einstellungen zum Beruf zwischen koreanischen und amerikanischen Journalisten fest, dass unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen innerhalb desselben politischen Systems verschiedene journalistische Kulturen entwickeln und, dass die journalistische Kultur als Produkt des Wechselverhältnisses des Journalismus zur Gesellschaft den Entwicklungsstand des Landes widerspiegelt.Zusammenfassend bestätigt die vorliegende Arbeit die Ansicht, dass Journalismus als ein Teilsystem der Gesellschaft durch das Gesellschaftssystem, vor allem durch das politischeSystem, geprägt wird.

Ultimate Precision of Adaptive Noise Estimation

description: We consider the estimation of noise parameters in a quantum channel, assuming the most general strategy allowed by quantum mechanics. This is based on the exploitation of unlimited entanglement and arbitrary quantum operations, so that the channel inputs may be interactively updated. In this general scenario we draw a novel connection between quantum metrology and teleportation. In fact, for any teleportation-covariant channel (e.g., Pauli, erasure, or Gaussian channel), we find that adaptive noise estimation cannot beat the standard quantum limit, with the quantum Fisher information being determined by the channel's Choi matrix. As an example, we establish the ultimate precision for estimating excess noise in a thermal-loss channel which is crucial for quantum cryptography. Because our general methodology applies to any functional which is monotonic under trace-preserving maps, it can be applied to simplify other adaptive protocols, including those for quantum channel discrimination. Setting the ultimate limits for noise estimation and discrimination paves the way for exploring the boundaries of quantum sensing, imaging and tomography.

description: Background: The optimizing performance through intrinsic motivation and attention for learning (OPTIMAL) theory proposes that enhancing expectancies for future performance and supporting learners’ autonomy facilitate motor performance and learning. However, the effects of these factors on the performance of medical motor skills such as suturing have not been understood. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of enhanced expectancies and autonomy support (AU) on motor performance, learning, and self-efficacy of a medical motor skill. Methods: Participants were 63 right-handed medical students in the pre-clinical stage of their studies (years 1 and 2 of medical education). They were randomly assigned to 3 groups: (a) social-comparative feedback (SCF), (b) AU, and (c) control (CO) groups. A vertical mattress suture was chosen as a motor task. Following the pretest with 2 trials, all participants were exposed to a 5-day practice phase. The retention test was performed 1 week after the practice phase. During the practice phase, the SCF group received positive feedback at the end of the day. The AU group was given the option of choosing the color of silk sutures. The participants in the CO group practiced without any feedback or choosing the color of silk sutures. Suturing quality and self-efficacy were measured as dependent variables. Results: Positive SCF led to a better suturing performance on the retention test; however, AU did not enhance motor learning of a suturing motor task. Moreover, positive SCF increased self-efficacy during the acquisition phase and on the retention test, while AU had no positive effects on self-efficacy. Conclusions: The present findings support the OPTIMAL theory by demonstrating that enhanced expectancies in the form of positive SCF can facilitate learning medical motor skills (i.e., vertical mattress suturing).

description: Using the superconformal framework, we construct a new off-shell model for $\cal N=4$ topologically massive supergravity which is minimal in the sense that it makes use of a single compensating vector multiplet and involves no free parameter. As such, it provides a counterexample to the common lore that two compensating multiplets are required within the conformal approach to supergravity with eight supercharges in diverse dimensions. This theory is an off-shell $\cal N=4$ supersymmetric extension of chiral gravity. All of its solutions correspond to non-conformally flat superspaces. Its maximally supersymmetric solutions include the so-called critical (4,0) anti-de Sitter superspace introduced in arXiv:1205.4622, and well as warped critical (4,0) anti-de Sitter superspaces. We also propose a dual formulation for the theory in which the vector multiplet is replaced with an off-shell hypermultiplet. Upon elimination of the auxiliary fields belonging to the hypermultiplet and imposing certain gauge conditions, the dual action reduces to the one introduced in arXiv:1605.00103.

title: Portuguese women's responses to domestic violence in England : a socio-legal analysis
Creators: name: Graça, Ana Sofia Grilo Carapeto
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation explores Portuguese women’s invocation of law in situations of domestic violence in England. Despite the existence of studies on minority ethnic women’s invocation of law and on the Portuguese population in England, there is no published research on Portuguese women’s invocation of law in situations of domestic violence. The dissertation seeks to address this gap in knowledge, using socio-legal theories of the invocation of law, theories of legal consciousness and interviews with Portuguese women living in England. Although theories of legal consciousness are not unproblematic, they permit the development of a framework of analysis that puts culture at the centre of women's subjective understanding of the law. They do so by analysing legality as the result of a combination of schemas and resources. The central schema for this dissertation is Portuguese culture, which results from a number of historical and political circumstances, such as the sustained promotion of women’s domesticity and the lack of a strong feminist movement. The influence of culture on Portuguese women’s invocation of law becomes clearer when articulated with an analysis of the resources available to them, such as language proficiency, levels of education and economic independence. The dissertation also includes an analysis of women’s experiences and expectations of service providers, as the distinction between the perceived usefulness of some services in comparison to others, such as between the police and victim support services, also impacts on women’s invocation of law. The dissertation concludes that Portuguese women’s invocation of law is complex, but with a clear preference for using informal mechanisms to address domestic violence. This has consequences for the development of practical ways of helping Portuguese women living in England deal with domestic violence, and informs the recommendation made in the final chapter of the dissertation.

description: We examine the dynamics after a sudden quench in the magnetic field of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. Starting from the groundstate and by employing the time-dependent fidelity, we see manifestly different dynamics are present if the system is quenched through the critical point. Furthermore, we show that the average work shows no sensitivity to the quantum phase transition, however the free energy and irreversible work show markedly different rates of change in each phase. Finally, we assess the spectral function showing the fundamental excitations that dictate the dynamics of the post-quenched system, further highlighting the qualitative differences between the dynamics in the two phases.

description: Resource states that contain nontrivial symmetry-protected topological order are identified for universal single-qudit measurement-based quantum computation. Our resource states fall into two classes: one as the qudit generalizations of the 1D qubit cluster state, and the other as the higher-symmetry generalizations of the spin-1 Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) state, namely, with unitary, orthogonal, or symplectic symmetry. The symmetry in cluster states protects information propagation (identity gate), while the higher symmetry in AKLT-type states enables nontrivial gate computation. This work demonstrates a close connection between measurement-based quantum computation and symmetry-protected topological order.

description: Though the EU is a rule of law community it struggles to make all Member States engage fully in upholding its laws and values. Some issues have to do with concrete violations against basic rights others are more institutional having to do with the independence of the judicial system as such. In this article, we look at the institutional side demonstrating that there is a link between the degree to which the judicial branch of a Member State enjoys full independence and its national high court engagement with the CJEU through the preliminary reference procedure. While drawing on judicial dialogue instruments, it is demonstrated how higher courts that are less constrained by political power make more preliminary references. This finding supports the hypothesis that governments that keep courts in a short leach often discourage judges from engaging with Luxembourg, impacting in the longer run the uniform development of EU law.

description: Non-equilibrium transport properties of quantum systems have recently become experimentally accessible in a number of platforms in so-called full-counting experiments that measure transient and steady state non-equilibrium transport dynamics. We show that the effect of the measurement back-action can be exploited to gain access to relevant transport coefficients. This relationship is general, but becomes most conspicuous in the transient dynamics of open quantum systems understrong coupling to non-Markovian environments. In order to explore this regime, a new simulation method for the generation of full counting statistics of non-Markovian, strong-coupling transport settings has been developed that is expressed in terms of a hierarchy of equations of motion. With this tool we gain access to the relevant regime and instantiate our proposal with the study of energetic conductance between two baths connected via a few level system.

description: Background Applications of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to natural product research have proven useful to understand the properties of natural product extracts and their intrinsic compounds. There are few reviews on this subject written as an initial introduction. Aims To provide an explanatory review of applications of EPR to natural products research. Methods The search for this review was carried out in the following databases: SciFinder, Google Scholar, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Science Direct, with particular emphasis on publications from the last decade. Results The articles chosen showed qualitative and quantitative data about the applications of EPR in the natural product research area. Studies include the use to measure radical scavenging capacity and direct detection of radicals in extracts. Other applications include the study of autooxidation, and photochemical properties. Conclusion This review brings together many examples highlighting methods by which EPR spectroscopy is useful in natural products research as a guide for future use.

description: Background: Arbutus pavarii Pamp. (fam. Ericaceae), commonly known as “Shmeri”, “Shmar” and “Libyan Strawberry”, is an endemic Libyan medicinal plant, growing almost exclusively in the Al-Jabel Al-Akhdar mountainous region in Libya. Aims: To assess the cytotoxicity of A. pavarii against human cancer cell lines and to carry out bioassay-guided isolation and identification of compounds. Materials and Methods: Shed-dried and ground leaves of A. pavarii were Soxhlet-extracted, successively, with n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH), and assessed for cytotoxicity against several human cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. The cytotoxicity of the DCM extract against the normal human prostate cell line PNT2 was also assessed to determine the selectivity index (SI). The DCM extract was subjected to vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) to produce eight fractions. A reversed-phase preparative HPLC analysis of the active VLC fraction was carried out to purify the major compounds present in the active fraction, and the structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic means. Results: The DCM extract was more cytotoxic against the PC3 cell line (IC50= 26 mg/mL) but less to the normal human prostate cell line PNT2 (IC50 = 90 mg/mL) with a selectivity index of 3.5. VLC analysis produced 8 fractions, with fraction VLC-5 most active against PC3 cells. Prep-HPLC-based purification of VLC-5 afforded the isolation of arbutin (1) and betulinic acid methyl ester (2), the structures of which were elucidated by spectroscopic means. Conclusion: The DCM extract of the leaves of A. pavarii exhibited significant cytotoxicity to PC3 cells, but much less cytotoxicity against normal human prostate cell line. The isolated compounds from the active fraction, arbutin (1) and betulinic acid methyl ester (2), which were previously shown to possess cytotoxic properties, could be responsible for the cytotoxicity of the DCM extract.

description: Recent research has documented the European Commission's attention to the preferences of the European public and the other EU institutions when formulating policy proposals. This project demonstrates that such efforts originated with the first Barroso Commission, which addressed public concerns through purposeful coordination with the European Parliament when drafting policy priorities in the Commission’s administrative units. We test for public input during the inter-institutional coordination as early as 2004–2008, using Europarties’ pledges issued during the 2004 EP elections and subsequent Commission policy priorities. Our analyses show that the policy priorities of the Commission overlap with the Europarties’ pledges when 1) the public is critical of European integration, 2) policies are salient to the public, and 3) priority initiatives fall in areas dominated by civil society and NGO groups. We interpret our results as a responsive relationship based on the inter-institutional coordination between the two actors at the agenda-setting stage.

description: Newtonian gravitational noise from seismic fields is predicted to be a limiting noise source at low frequency for second generation gravitational-wave detectors. Mitigation of this noise will be achieved by Wiener filtering using arrays of seismometers deployed in the vicinity of all test masses. In this work, we present optimized configurations of seismometer arrays using a variety of simplified models of the seismic field based on seismic observations at LIGO Hanford. The model that best fits the seismic measurements leads to noise reduction limited predominantly by seismometer self-noise. A first simplified design of seismic arrays for Newtonian-noise cancellation at the LIGO sites is presented, which suggests that it will be sufficient to monitor surface displacement inside the buildings.

description: Computeralgebra ist wunderbar; dass, was Taschenrechner für das Rechnen getan haben, können Computeralgebra-Systeme für das symbolische Arbeiten tun. Aber brauchen wir das wirklich? Oder kommen wir mit einem komfortablen makrofähigen programmierbaren Taschenrechner aus? Die Diskussion ist alt und vielfältig (siehe z.B. [1, 2]), und durch die Einführung des Zentralabiturs in immer mehr Bundesländern aktueller denn je. Zudem sind Computer immer stärker im Mathematikunterricht vertreten, und die traditionelle Dreiteilung der Mathematiksoftware (CAS, DGS, TK) verwischt durch den Trend hin zu "Mathematikwerkzeugen" immer mehr.
