description: We present spectral line images of [CI] 809 GHz, CO J=1-0 115 GHz and HI 1.4 GHz line emission, and calculate the corresponding C, CO and H column densities, for a sinuous, quiescent Giant Molecular Cloud about 5 kpc distant along the l=328° sightline (hereafter G328) in our Galaxy. The [CI] data comes from the High Elevation Antarctic Terahertz (HEAT) telescope, a new facility on the summit of the Antarctic plateau where the precipitable water vapor falls to the lowest values found on the surface of the Earth. The CO and HI datasets come from the Mopra and Parkes/ATCA telescopes, respectively. We identify a filamentary molecular cloud, ~75 x 5 pc long with mass ~4 x 10E4 Msun and a narrow velocity emission range of just 4 km/s. The morphology and kinematics of this filament are similar in CO, [CI] and HI, though in the latter appears as self-absorption. We calculate line fluxes and column densities for the three emitting species, which are broadly consistent with a PDR model for a GMC exposed to the average interstellar radiation field. The [C/CO] abundance ratio averaged through the filament is found to be approximately unity. The G328 filament is constrained to be cold (Tdust < 20K) by the lack of far-IR emission, to show no clear signs of star formation, and to only be mildly turbulent from the narrow line width. We suggest that it may represent a GMC shortly after formation, or perhaps still be in the process of formation.

Milchleistungsprüfung

description: Kühe mit saugenden Kälbern geben beim Melken weniger Milch als Kühe, an denen keine Kälber saugen. Zudem sind die Milchgehalte meistens nicht im Normalbereich, da die Kühe oft einen Teil der fettreicheren Alveolarmilch zurückbehalten. Trotzdem sollte auch bei säugenden Tieren die Milchleistungsprüfung (MLP) durchgeführt werden, damit sich ihre Daten auch für Statistiken und Zuchtwertschätzungen nutzen lassen. Dieses Merkblatt beschreibt das Vorgehen gemäss dem Internationalen Komitee für Leistungsprüfungen in der Tierproduktion. Zusätzlich lassen sich in dieser Publikation praktische Tipps und Empfehlungen für die Milchleistungsprüfung bei Kühen, die ein oder mehrere Kälber säugen, finden.

description: Sequential decision-making problems with multiple objectives arise naturally in practice and pose unique challenges for research in decision-theoretic planning and learning, which has largely focused on single-objective settings. This article surveys algorithms designed for sequential decision-making problems with multiple objectives. Though there is a growing body of literature on this subject, little of it makes explicit under what circumstances special methods are needed to solve multi-objective problems. Therefore, we identify three distinct scenarios in which converting such a problem to a single-objective one is impossible, infeasible, or undesirable. Furthermore, we propose a taxonomy that classifies multi-objective methods according to the applicable scenario, the nature of the scalarization function (which projects multi-objective values to scalar ones), and the type of policies considered. We show how these factors determine the nature of an optimal solution, which can be a single policy, a convex hull, or a Pareto front. Using this taxonomy, we survey the literature on multi-objective methods for planning and learning. Finally, we discuss key applications of such methods and outline opportunities for future work.

description: We demonstrate an electrically controlled coherent random lasing with silver nano-particles dispersed in a dye-doped nematic liquid crystal (NLC), in which external electric field dependent emission intensity and frequency-splitting are recorded. A modified rate equation model is proposed to interpret the observed coherent lasing, which is a manifestation of double enhancements, caused by the plasmon-polariton near-fields of Ag particles, on the population inversion of laser dye molecules and the optical energy density of lasing modes. The noticeable quenching of lasing resonances in a weak applied field is due to the dynamic light scattering by irregular director fluctuations of the NLC host, which wash out the coherent interference among different particle palsmon-polariton fields. This provides a proof to support that the present lasing resonances are very sensitive to the dielectric perturbations in the host medium and thus are likely associated with some coupled plasmonic oscillations of metal nanoparticles.

Image Segmentation with Eigenfunctions of an Anisotropic Diffusion Operator

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We propose the eigenvalue problem of an anisotropic diffusion operator for image segmentation. The diffusion matrix is defined based on the input image. The eigenfunctions and the projection of the input image in some eigenspace capture key features of the input image. An important property of the model is that for many input images, the first few eigenfunctions are close to being piecewise constant, which makes them useful as the basis for a variety of applications such as image segmentation and edge detection. The eigenvalue problem is shown to be related to the algebraic eigenvalue problems resulting from several commonly used discrete spectral clustering models. The relation provides a better understanding and helps developing more efficient numerical implementation and rigorous numerical analysis for discrete spectral segmentation methods. The new continuous model is also different from energy-minimization methods such as geodesic active contour in that no initial guess is required for in the current model. The multi-scale feature is a natural consequence of the anisotropic diffusion operator so there is no need to solve the eigenvalue problem at multiple levels. A numerical implementation based on a finite element method with an anisotropic mesh adaptation strategy is presented. It is shown that the numerical scheme gives much more accurate results on eigenfunctions than uniform meshes. Several interesting features of the model are examined in numerical examples and possible applications are discussed.

Resilienz

description: Widrige Erfahrungen in der Kindheit, die die Bewältigungsfähigkeiten eines Kindes übersteigen, haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten in der Forschung als bedeutender Risikofaktor für Beeinträchtigungen der physischen und psychischen Gesundheit herauskristallisiert. In der Resilienzforschung wurde gleichzeitig nach Faktoren geforscht, die es Menschen ermöglichen, trotz Widrigkeiten ein erfülltes und gelingendes Leben zu führen. Diese Masterarbeit hat zum Ziel herauszufinden, wie die Schule die Resilienz von Kindern mit widrigen Kindheitserfahrungen fördern kann. Dazu wird zuerst die Forschung zu widrigen Kindheitserfahrungen und zu Resilienz analysiert, zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt und vorgestellt. Auf dieser Basis wird eine Literaturrecherche durchgeführt, um evidenzbasierte schulische Interventionen und Ansätze zu finden, die Resilienzfaktoren wirksam fördern. Diese werden vorgestellt und kritisch diskutiert und es werden Kriterien erörtert, die es bei der Umsetzung zu berücksichtigen gilt.

description: A square-free monomial ideal $I$ is called an {\it $f$-ideal}, if both $δ_{\mathcal{F}}(I)$ and $δ_{\mathcal{N}}(I)$ have the same $f$-vector, where $δ_{\mathcal{F}}(I)$ ($δ_{\mathcal{N}}(I)$, respectively) is the facet (Stanley-Reisner, respectively) complex related to $I$. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of perfect set containing $k$ and perfect set without $k$. We study the $(n, d)^{th}$ perfect sets and show that $V(n, d) \neq \emptyset$ for $d \geq 2$ and $n \geq d+2$. Then we give some algorithms to construct $(n, d)^{th}$ $f$-ideals and show an upper bound for the $(n, d)^{th}$ perfect number.

description: Learning by observation can be of key importance whenever agents sharing similar features want to learn from each other. This paper presents an agent architecture that enables software agents to learn by direct observation of the actions executed by expert agents while they are performing a task. This is possible because the proposed architecture displays information that is essential for observation, making it possible for software agents to observe each other. The agent architecture supports a learning process that covers all aspects of learning by observation, such as discovering and observing experts, learning from the observed data, applying the acquired knowledge and evaluating the agents progress. The evaluation provides control over the decision to obtain new knowledge or apply the acquired knowledge to new problems. We combine two methods for learning from the observed information. The first one, the recall method, uses the sequence on which the actions were observed to solve new problems. The second one, the classification method, categorizes the information in the observed data and determines to which set of categories the new problems belong. Results show that agents are able to learn in conditions where common supervised learning algorithms fail, such as when agents do not know the results of their actions a priori or when not all the effects of the actions are visible. The results also show that our approach provides better results than other learning methods since it requires shorter learning periods.

description: Carbon—carbon (C—C) bond activation by homogeneous transition-metal catalysts is an active area of research due to its wide range of applications in industry and complex organic molecule synthesis. Despite its significance, the activation of thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert C—C s-bonds under mild homogeneous conditions still remains a challenge. The activation is primarily limited to systems in which either relief of strain or aromatization serves as a driving force. An exception to this is the activation of unstrained C—CN bonds of nitriles. In this study, we will report a comparison of the C—CN bond activation of methyl and trifluoromethyl substituted benzonitriles to the fluorinated benzonitriles with the [Ni(dmpe)] fragment by using DFT calculations at TACC. The energetics of the resulting nickel complexes and the C—CN bond activation products in a polar solvent (tetrahydrofuran) and a nonpolar solvent (toluene) will be presented. Reactions with aryl groups containing two ortho substituents will be compared to those with a single ortho substituent. This research will expediate the development of this powerful reaction and lead to more efficient synthesis of complex organic molecules.
In-work poverty and the search for decent work for women in Wales: A literature review

Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University

Subjects: Employment equity and diversity

description: Rising levels of female employment havemade the UK labour market almost unrecognisable from that offive decades ago. Yet,whilst women’s contribution to the Welsh economy is growing, disparity between men’s and women’s participation in, and treatment by the labour market remains. A more equallabour market is important for both women themselves and for the economy. Government estimates indicate that by reducing the gender pay gap the UK economy wouldbenefit by £150 billion. Similarly,if female employment levels in the UK matched those in other countries,the UK GDP would be raised by 9%. This makes a strong case for a more gender focused labour market policy to respond to the increasingly de-regulated labour market that disproportionately affects women more adversely than men. This literature review forms part of Oxfam Cymru’s programme to develop a set of policy solutions to enable women on low incomes in Wales to progress in their careers and move themselves out of poverty or reduce their risk of entering poverty.The remit of the paper is to engage with the literature to analyse evidence on the links between gender and poverty, unravelling the possible underlying causes in order to be able to outline policy recommendations that fall within the Welsh Government’s devolved powers surrounding employability.

description: We report dc magnetic measurements on YbCu$_2$Si$_2$ at pressures above 10 GPa using a miniature ceramic anvil cell. YbCu$_2$Si$_2$ shows a pressure-induced transition from the non-magnetic to a magnetic phase at 8 GPa. We find a spontaneous dc magnetization in the pressure-induced phase above 9.4 GPa. The pressure dependence of the ferromagnetic transition temperature T_C and the spontaneous magnetic moment m_0 at 2.0 K have been determined. The value of m_0 in the present macroscopic measurement is less than half of that determined via Mossbauer experiment. The difference may be attributed to spatial phase separation between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. This separation suggests that the pressure-induced phase boundary between the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states is of first order. Further, we have studied the magnetic anisotropy in the pressure-induced ferromagnetic state. The effect of pressure on the magnetization with magnetic field along the magnetic easy $c$-axis is much larger than for field along the hard $a$-axis in the tetragonal structure. The pressure-induced phase has strong Ising-type uniaxial anisotropy, consistent with the two crystal electric field (CEF) models proposed for YbCu$_2$Si$_2$.

description: In this paper, we show for a monomial ideal $I$ of $K[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n]$ that the integral closure $\ol{I}$ is a monomial ideal of Borel type (Borel-fixed, strongly stable, lexsegment, or universal lexsegment respectively), if $I$ has the same property. We also show that the $k^{th}$ symbolic power $I^{(k)}$ of $I$ preserves the properties of Borel type, Borel-fixed and strongly stable, and $I^{(k)}$ is lexsegment if $I$ is stably lexsegment. For a monomial ideal $I$ and a monomial prime ideal $P$, a new ideal $J(I, P)$ is studied, which also gives a clear description of the primary decomposition of $I^{(k)}$. Then a new simplicial complex $_J\bigtriangleup$ of a monomial ideal $J$ is defined, and it is shown that $I_{_J\bigtriangleup^{\vee}} = \sqrt{J}$. Finally, we show under an additional weak assumption that a monomial ideal is universal lexsegment if and only if its polarization is a squarefree strongly stable ideal.

description: ““Untouchability” is abolished and its practice in any form is forbidden in India. The enforcement of any disability arising out of “Untouchability” shall be an offence punishable in accordance with law”1 declares the Constitution of India. The principles of equality and nondiscrimination are woven to the fabric of progressive domestic legislation in India and international human rights conventions. Several of those conventions prohibit discrimination based on birth, descent, and social origin. Despite India having ratified those conventions, and even after over 70 years of the adoption of the Constitution, which propounds the doctrine of equality, a significant section of the Indian populace are still subjected to discrimination arising by virtue of their birth in the lowered castes of the Hindu Social Order. They are subjugated, humiliated, marginalised, and segregated. Their lives are cut short. The types and forms of untouchability have changed over time. Yet, it remains one of the most heinous forms of caste discrimination, prevalent in both urban and rural milieus, practised by both literate and illiterate privileged castes and suffered by both literate and illiterate Dalits. To understand this unique violation of human rights, two practices are taken into consideration in this thesis from seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum; manual scavenging, experienced mostly by illiterate Dalits, and caste-based discrimination in higher educational institutions, experienced by the literate Dalits. With a help of an in-depth qualitative analysis, it is found that even in the 21st century, untouchability stands on a distinctly different footing and walks in parallel to the modern industrialised India.

description: We study the convergence of the density of states and thermodynamic properties in three flat-histogram simulation methods, the Wang-Landau (WL) algorithm, the 1/t algorithm, and tomographic sampling (TS). In the first case the refinement parameter f is rescaled (f -> f/2) each time the flat-histogram condition is satisfied, in the second f ~ 1/t after a suitable initial phase, while in the third f is constant (t corresponds to Monte Carlo time). To examine the intrinsic convergence properties of these methods, free of any complications associated with a specific model, we study a featureless entropy landscape, such that for each allowed energy E = 1,...,L, there is exactly one state, that is, g(E) = 1 for all E. Convergence of sampling corresponds to g(E,t) -> const. as t -> infinity, so that the standard deviation sigma_g of g over energy values is a measure of the overall sampling error. Neither the WL algorithm nor TS converge: in both cases sigma_g saturates at long times. In the 1/t algorithm, by contrast, sigma_g decays \propto 1/\sqrt{t}. Modified TS and 1/t procedures, in which f \propto 1/t^alpha, converge for alpha values between 0 and 1. There are two essential facets to convergence of flat-histogram methods: elimination of initial errors in g(E), and correction of the sampling noise accumulated during the process. For a simple example, we demonstrate analytically, using a Langevin equation, that both kinds of errors can be eliminated, asymptotically, if f ~ 1/t^alpha with 0 < α\leq 1. Convergence is optimal for alpha = 1. For alpha \leq 0 the sampling noise never decays, while for alpha > 1 the initial error is never completely eliminated.

description: [Objectives] To alleviate the influence of meteorological conditions on soil environment (temperature and water content) and maintain high and stable grain yield. [Methods] Taking Sunzhen Experimental Station of Weinan Academy of Agricultural Sciences as the experimental base, the effects of returning double-crop wheat and corn straw to field (Twm), returning single-crop corn straw to field (Tm), returning single-crop wheat straw to field (Tw) on soil temperature, water content, straw decomposition rate and nutrient release, soil organic matter and bulk density were studied systematically. [Results] Twm treatment could effectively alleviate the effects of meteorological conditions on soil temperature and water content. The decomposition rate of straw treated with Twm was 4.7% higher than that of Tm treatment, 3.8% higher than that of Tw treatment, 10.5% higher than that of Tm treatment, and the decomposition rate of straw showed a trend of "first fast, then slow and then fast". The release of nitrogen from straw was basically similar to that of straw decay, and the release of potassium and phosphorus increased at first and then remained basically unchanged. The release rate of potassium was the highest, followed by phosphorus and nitrogen. The content of soil organic matter in Twm treatment increased by 11.67% annually, an annual average of 0.998 g/kg . The soil bulk density of Twm treatment decreased by 0.058 g/cm3 annually, an annual average of 4.29% . The fundamental reason is that Twm treatment provides conditions (temperature, water content, nutrition) for microbial growth, reproduction, enzyme production and biochemical reaction, and increases the exchange capacity of soil and external water, heat, gas and fertilizer. [Conclusions] The purpose of this paper is to help people change their understanding of returning straw to field from "quick harvest" to "fertilizer transformation".

Based on the small-signal measurements, we show the impact of the density of states function on the cut-off frequency, being larger for quantum dots at low currents, and reaching similar values for quantum dashes only at higher currents. The large-signal measurements show error-free data transmission at 22.5 and 17.5 Gbit/s for the quantum-dot and quantum-dash lasers.

description: This paper introduces a theoretical framework for understanding the accumulation of non-Abelian geometric phases in rotating nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. Specifically, we consider how degenerate states can be achieved and demonstrate that the resulting geometric phase for multiple paths is non-Abelian. We find that the non-Abelian nature of the phase is robust to fluctuations in the path and magnetic field. In contrast to previous studies of the accumulation of Abelian geometric phases for nitrogen-vacancy centers under rotation we find that the limiting time-scale is $T_{1}$. As such a non-Abelian geometric phase accumulation in nitrogen-vacancy centers has potential advantages for applications as gyroscopes.

Dies wird im Rahmen der separativen Tagesschule betrachtet. Dafür wird als erstes aufgezeigt, in welchem rechtlichen und ethischen Rahmen Klientel, sozialpädagogisches Fachpersonal und Tiere zu verorten sind. Daraus erschliesst sich, an welchen Bedingungen sich die niederschwelligen Angebote orientieren sollen. Danach wird die Integration von tiergestützter Intervention in den Tagesschulalltag untersucht. Dafür wird die Autismusforschung zum besseren Verständnis dieser tiefgreifenden Entwicklungsstörung hinzugezogen und der Entwicklungsstand von autistischen Grundschulkindern beleuchtet. Hierauf werden die Fördermöglichkeiten anhand eines individuell abgestimmten und autismusfreundlichen Umfeldes hergeleitet. Zu diesem Umfeld gehören Strukturierung, Rituale, Visualisierungen und kleinschrittige Anweisungen. Die positive Wirkung von Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen sowie die Funktion des sozialen Katalysators dienen als Begründung für die Integration. Zusätzlich werden die Kleintierwahl, passende pädagogische Methoden und die Tierhaltung in Institutionen für eine gelingende Integration betrachtet. Abschliessend werden die notwendigen Basiskompetenzen der anleitenden Personen herausgefiltert mit der Erkenntnis, dass ausser spezifischem Fachwissen zu Autismus und Tieren die restlichen Kompetenzen in einer sozialpädagogischen Ausbildung erworben werden können. Ebenfalls werden die tiergestützte Pädagogik mit Kleintieren und die tiergestützte Aktivität als passende niederschwellige Angebote ausgewiesen.

description: We investigate the spin transport and precession in graphene by using the Hanle effect in nonlocal and threeterminal measurement geometries. Identical spin lifetimes, spin diffusion lengths and spin polarizations are observed in graphene devices for both techniques over a wide range of temperatures. The magnitude of the spin signals is well explained by spin transport models. These observations rules out any signal enhancements or additional scattering mechanisms at the interfaces for both geometries. This validates the applicability of both the measurement methods for graphene based spintronics devices and their reliable extractions of spin parameters.

Multi-epoch Sub-arcsecond [Fe II] Spectroimaging of the DG Tau Outflows with NIFS. I. First data epoch

description: Investigating the outflows emanating from young stellar objects (YSOs) on sub-arcsecond scales provides important clues to the nature of the underlying accretion-ejection process occurring near the central protostar. We have investigated the structures and kinematics of the outflows driven by the YSO DG Tauri, using the Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrograph (NIFS) on Gemini North. The blueshifted outflow shows two distinct components in [Fe II] 1.644 micron emission, which are separated using multi-component line fitting. A stationary recollimation shock is observed, in agreement with previous X-ray and FUV observations. The presence of this shock indicates that the innermost streamlines of the high-velocity component are launched at a very small radius, 0.01-0.15 AU, from the central star. The jet accelerates and expands downstream of the recollimation shock; the 'acceleration' is likely a sign of velocity variations in the jet. No evidence of rotation is found, and we compare this non-detection to previous counter-claims. Moving jet knots, likely the result of the jet velocity variations, are observed. One of these knots moves more slowly than previously observed knots, and the knot ejection interval appears to be non-periodic. An intermediate-velocity component surrounds this central jet, and is interpreted as the result of a turbulent mixing layer along the jet boundaries. Such lateral entrainment requires the presence of a magnetic field of strength a few mG or less at hundreds of AU above the disc surface, which is argued to be a reasonable proposition. In H2 1-0 S(1) 2.1218 micron emission, a wide-angle, intermediate-velocity blueshifted outflow is observed. Both outflows are consistent with being launched by a magnetocentrifugal disc wind, although an X-wind origin for the high-velocity jet cannot be ruled out.

description: This article presents and discusses in detail the results of extensive exact calculations of the most basic ingredients of spin networks, the Racah coefficients (or Wigner 6j symbols), exhibiting their salient features when considered as a function of two variables - a natural choice due to their origin as elements of a square orthogonal matrix - and illustrated by use of a projection on a square "screen" introduced recently. On these screens, shown are images which provide a systematic classification of features previously introduced to represent the caustic and ridge curves (which delimit the boundaries between oscillatory and evanescent behaviour according to the asymptotic analysis of semiclassical approaches). Particular relevance is given to the surprising role of the intriguing symmetries discovered long ago by Regge and recently revisited; from their use, together with other newly discovered properties and in conjunction with the traditional combinatorial ones, a picture emerges of the amplitudes and phases of these discrete wavefunctions, of interest in wide areas as building blocks of basic and applied quantum mechanics.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit ist mit viel Engagement, Interesse, Freude, Ausdauer und nicht zuletzt über viele Stolpersteine hinweg verfasst worden. Das Themenfeld der Digitalisierung und Inklusion im Unterricht und der Einsatz digitaler Medien im Allgemeinen und das Genre Erklärvideo im Besonderen war für mich ein völlig neues Gebiet, an welches ich mich zunächst herantasten musste. Es war eine erfahrungsreiche und bereichernde, aber auch aufwendige Arbeit, auf die ich nun erleichtert und mit Stolz zurückblicke. An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich bei allen bedanken, die mich während dieser Masterarbeit unterstützt haben. Ein grosser Dank geht an meine Mentorin Annette Lütolf Belet, welche mir durch die ganze Masterarbeit sehr unterstützend, kompetent und ausdauernd zur Seite stand. Ingo Bosse danke ich, dass ich erste Erkenntnisse meiner Masterarbeit bereits vor Abgabe an der HfH im Modul «Medien und Informatik» präsentieren durfte. Meiner Familie und meinem Mann möchte ich herzlich danken, dass sie mir durch ihren Rückhalt überhaupt ermöglicht haben, diese Masterarbeit zu schreiben. Ein letzter Dank geht an meine Tochter: Dein Lächeln hat mir die Energie gegeben, bis zum Schluss an dieser Arbeit dranzubleiben.
