description: We present a new study investigating whether active galactic nuclei (AGN) beyond the local universe are preferentially fed via large-scale bars. Our investigation combines data from Chandra and Galaxy Zoo: Hubble (GZH) in the AEGIS, COSMOS, and GOODS-S surveys to create samples of face-on, disc galaxies at 0.2 < z < 1.0. We use a novel method to robustly compare a sample of 120 AGN host galaxies, defined to have 10^42 erg/s < L_X < 10^44 erg/s, with inactive control galaxies matched in stellar mass, rest-frame colour, size, Sersic index, and redshift. Using the GZH bar classifications of each sample, we demonstrate that AGN hosts show no statistically significant enhancement in bar fraction or average bar likelihood compared to closely-matched inactive galaxies. In detail, we find that the AGN bar fraction cannot be enhanced above the control bar fraction by more than a factor of two, at 99.7% confidence. We similarly find no significant difference in the AGN fraction among barred and non-barred galaxies. Thus we find no compelling evidence that large-scale bars directly fuel AGN at 0.21, our findings suggest that large-scale bars have likely never directly been a dominant fueling mechanism for supermassive black hole growth.

description: Soft porous crystals present a challenge to molecular dynamics simulations with flexible size and shape of the simulation cell (i.e., in the NPT ensemble), since their framework responds very sensitively to small external stimuli. Hence, all interactions have to be described very accurately in order to obtain correct equilibrium structures. Here, we report a methodological study on the nanoporous metal-organic framework MIL-53(Ga), which undergoes a large-amplitude transition between a narrow- and a large-pore phase upon a change in temperature. Since this system has not been investigated by density functional theory (DFT)-based NPT simulations so far, we carefully check the convergence of the stress tensor with respect to computational parameters. Furthermore, we demonstrate the importance of dispersion interactions and test two different ways of incorporating them into the DFT framework. As a result, we propose two computational schemes which describe accurately the narrow- and the large-pore phase of the material, respectively. These schemes can be used in future work on the delicate interplay between adsorption in the nanopores and structural flexibility of the host material.

description: Diese Masterarbeit befasst sich mit der Analyse von Auswirkungen des Standardwechsels (von IAS 39 auf IFRS 9) in Bezug auf die Änderungen wesentlicher (Wertberichtigungs-)Bestandteile von finanziellen Vermögenswerten, bei den größten Kreditinstituten im Gebiet des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraumes in der Periode zwischen 2013 und 2019. Im Vergleich zum Wertminderungsmodell des alten Standards IAS 39 (Incurred-Loss Modell), behandelt das neue Expected-Credit-Loss Modell (nach IFRS 9) die Wertminderungen proaktiver, strenger und umfangreicher. Somit sollten die Risikovorsorgen im Kreditgeschäft, sowie die entsprechenden wesentlichen Wertberichtigungswerte, grundsätzlich mit dem Standardwechsel steigen, jedoch ist zum Zeitpunkt des Verfassens dieser Masterarbeit, beim besten Wissen und Gewissen, nicht bekannt, dass andere Studien, anhand der tatsächlich nach dem Standardwechsel erfassten Daten, durchgeführt wurden, um festzustellen, dass die oben genannten Erwartungen gerechtfertigt sind. Die Ergebnisse der statistischen Analyse dieser Masterarbeit konnten zeigen, dass die oben genannten Erwartungen grundsätzlich nicht gerechtfertigt sind. Gezeigt werden konnte, nicht nur dass die Risikovorsorgen im Kreditgeschäft, sowie die entsprechenden wesentlichen Wertberichtigungsbestandteile, nach dem Standardwechsel mit relativer statistischer Sicherheit gefallen sind, sondern auch dass dieser Rückgang einem langjährigen Trend folgt, welcher noch vor dem Standardwechsel begonnen hat.

description: In the proposed study, we will determine the cues, characteristics, and predictors of relationship situations across three studies. In all three studies, we will examine the cues and characteristics of relationship situations and will test how they are predicted by people’s personality traits. Additionally, each study will have its unique focus: It will be tested how the cues and characteristics of relationship situations are predicted by (a) cultural differences (Study 1), (b) differences in relationship satisfaction (Study 2), and age differences (Study 3). To that aim, Study 1 will examine relationship situations across 63 countries, Study 2 will assess relationship situations in romantic couples, and Study 3 will investigate relationship situations among younger and older adults. Together, the proposed project will contribute to better understanding relationship situations, that is, how situations in romantic relationships are objectively described, subjectively experienced, and predicted by differences in personality traits, culture, relationship satisfaction, and age.

description: Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es zu untersuchen, wie Content-Marketing auf Social-Media-Plattformen wie „Instagram“ von der Öffentlichkeit wahrgenommen wird. Dafür wird insbesondere das österreichische Unternehmen im Drogeriefachhandel „BIPA Parfumerien GmbH“ als Beispiel herangezogen. Dazu wurden die folgenden Forschungsfragen aufgestellt: Wie werden die Online-Content-Marketing-Strategien des Unternehmens „BIPA Parfumerien GmbH“ von den Kundinnen und Kunden wahrgenommen? Worauf legen die Kundinnen und Kunden der „BIPA Parfumerien GmbH“ besonders viel Wert bei Content-Marketing-Strategien? Welche Formate des Online-Content-Marketings wirken für die Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten der „BIPA Parfumerien GmbH“ besonders glaubwürdig? Welche Unterschiede gibt es hinsichtlich des Alters bezüglich der Wahrnehmung von Content-Marketing auf Social-Media? Um diese forschungsleitenden Fragen zu beantworten, wurde eine quantitative Online-Befragung durchgeführt. Zielgruppe der Befragung waren Frauen und Männer im Alter von 16-40 Jahren. Die Ergebnisse der quantitativen Studie zeigen, dass die Bekanntheit von Content-Marketing unter den 16-40-Jährigen weitverbreitet ist. Jedoch werden sowohl die Relevanz als auch die Glaubwürdigkeit der Inhalte sehr subjektiv bewertet. Dies erschwert Unternehmen die Gestaltung von Social-Media-Inhalten, die für jede Person der Zielgruppe passend sind.
description: The aim of this master's thesis is to investigate how content marketing is perceived by the public on social media platforms such as “Instagram”. Therefor the Austrian drugstore company "BIPA Parfumerien GmbH" is used as an example. To this end, the following research questions were posed: How are the online content marketing strategies of the company "BIPA Parfumerien GmbH" perceived by customers? What do the customers of "BIPA Parfumerien GmbH" attach great importance to when it comes to content marketing strategies? Which online content marketing formats are particularly credible for the consumers of "BIPA Parfumerien GmbH"? What are the differences in age regarding the perception of content marketing on social media? In order to answer these research-leading questions, a quantitative online survey was carried out. The target group for the survey were women and men aged 16-40 years. The results of the quantitative study show that awareness of content marketing is widespread among 16-40 year olds. However, both the relevance and the credibility of the content are rated very subjectively. This makes it difficult for companies to design social media content that is appropriate for each person in the target audience.

description: We review the current status and future prospects on the subject of flavor structure of the nucleon sea. The flavor structure of the nucleon sea provides unique information on the non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions allowing stringent tests of various models on the partonic structures of the nucleons as well as lattice QCD calculations. The scope of this review covers the unpolarized, polarized, and the transverse-momentum dependent sea-quark distributions of the nucleons. While the main focus of this review is on the physics motivation and recent progress on the subject of the nucleon sea, we also discuss future prospects of addressing some outstanding issues on the flavor structure of the nucleon sea.

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es den Einfluss der Kongruenz oder Inkongruenz zwi-schen der Corporate Identity und dem Corporate Image auf die Werbewirkung und Kauf-intention zu untersuchen. Dazu wurde eine quantitative online Befragung durchgeführt wobei 310 Teilnehmer/innen verzeichnet werden konnten. Bei einer Stichprobe von n=310, einem Konfidenzintervall von 95% und einer Fehlerquote von 5,6% kann somit folgendes festgehalten werden: Als zentraler Einflussfaktor auf die Kaufintention konnte die Einstellung gegenüber einem Unternehmen oder einer Organisation festgestellt werden. Ebenso konnte ein signifikan-ter linearer Zusammenhang zwischen der Rezeption des Werbeauftrittes eines Unter-nehmens oder einer Organisation und dem Corporate Image festgestellt werden. Zu kritisieren sind diese Ergebnisse aufgrund der erhöhten Fehlerquote von 5.6% wobei eine 5%ige Fehlerquote als standardmäßig innerhalb der Wissenschaften betrachtet wird. Weiteres ist anzumerken, dass der Aufbau des Forschungsinstrumentes, des Fragebo-gens nicht vorab kontrolliert wurde um etwaige Verzerrungen durch Priming-Effekte, Re-cency-Effekte oder sozialer Erwünschtheit und Selbstdarstellung auszuschließen. Der Einfluss einer widerspruchsfreien Kommunikation der Corporate Identity konnte im Rahmen dieser Arbeit nicht belegt werden und bietet somit einen Anknüpfungspunkt für weitere Forschungen.
description: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of congruence or incongruence between corporate identity and corporate image on advertising impact and purchase in-tention. For this purpose, a quantitative online survey was conducted with 310 partici-pants. With a sample of n=310, a confidence interval of 95% and a margin of error of 5.6%, the following can be stated: The attitude towards a company or an organization was found to be a central factor influ-encing the purchase intention. Likewise, a significant linear correlation between the recep-tion of the advertising presence of a company or an organization and the corporate image could be established. These results are to be criticized due to the increased error rate of 5.6% whereby a 5% error rate is considered as standard within the sciences. Furthermore, it should be noted that the structure of the research instrument, the questionnaire, was not controlled in ad-vance in order to exclude possible biases due to priming effects, re-cency effects or so-cial desirability and self-representation. The influence of a contradiction-free communication of the corporate identity could not be proven within the scope of this work and thus offers a starting point for further research.

description: We study the asymmetric nuclear matter using a holographic QCD model by introducing a baryonic charge in the infrared boundary. We first show that, in the normal hadron phase, the predicted values of the symmetry energy and it's slope parameter are comparable with the empirical values. We find that the phase transition from the normal phase to the pion condensation phase is delayed compared with the pure mesonic matter: The critical chemical potential is larger than the pion mass which is obtained for the pure mesonic matter. We also show that, in the pion condensation phase, the pion contribution to the isospin number density increases with the chemical potential, while the baryonic contribution is almost constant. Furthermore, the value of chiral condensation implies that the enhancement of the chiral symmetry breaking occurs in the asymmetric nuclear matter as in the pure mesonic matter. We also give a discussion on how to understand the delay in terms of the 4-dimensional chiral Lagrangian including the rho and omega mesons based on the hidden local symmetry.

description: Im Zentrum der vorliegenden Masterarbeit steht die (Re-)Produktion von Heteronormativität im Reality TV, die am Fallbeispiel „Der Bachelor“ untersucht wurde. Dabei wurde das Konzept des „Doing Gender“, das Wissenssystem der Zweigeschlechtlichkeit, damit verbundene Gender Normen und der Geschlechtskörper in den Blick genommen. Als theoretischer Rahmen dienen die Gender / Queer Studies, der interaktionistische Konstruktivismus und der diskurstheoretische Dekonstruktivismus. Die Analyse erfolgte mittels einer inhaltlich strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz anhand von fünf Folgen der zehnten Staffel „Der Bachelor“. Der Fokus lag einerseits auf den Handlungen, Aussagen und performativen Inszenierungen der Teilnehmenden der Show, andererseits auf der Inszenierung durch die TV-Produktion. Die Ergebnisse wurden konstruktivistisch und diskurstheoretisch interpretiert. Es zeigte sich, dass in den analysierten Folgen großteils tradierte Gender Normen und Vorstellungen von Liebe, Geschlechtsidentität und Lebensführung repräsentiert werden. Wobei sich trotzdem abzeichnet, dass Gender Normen instabil, widersprüchlich und nicht „natürlich“ gegeben sind. Das System der Zweigeschlechtlichkeit wird in „Der Bachelor“ reproduziert und die heterosexuelle Beziehung als „normale“, gegebene und selbstverständliche Beziehungsform romantisiert und forciert.

Phenomenological analysis combined with the experimental data not only can test the assignments to these discussed states, but it can also predict more abundant information {on} their partial decay widths, which is helpful in the experimental study of these observed and predicted pseudotensor states.

description: We study N=4 SYM theory coupled to fundamental N=2 hypermultiplets in a state of finite charge density. The setup can be described holographically as a configuration of D3 and D7 branes with a non-trivial worldvolume gauge field on the D7. The phase has been identified as a new form of quantum liquid, where certain properties are those of a Fermi liquid while others are clearly distinct. We focus on the entanglement among the flavors, as quantified by the entanglement entropy. The expectation for a Fermi liquid would be a logarithmic enhancement of the area law, but we find a more drastic enhancement instead. The leading contributions are volume terms with a non-trivial shape dependence, signaling extensive entanglement among the flavors. At finite temperature these correlations are confined to a region of size given by the inverse temperature.

description: We investigate the particle and heat transport in quantum junctions with the geometry of star graphs. The system is in a nonequilibrium steady state, characterized by the different temperatures and chemical potentials of the heat reservoirs connected to the edges of the graph. We explore the Landauer-Buettiker state and its orbit under parity and time reversal transformations. Both particle number and total energy are conserved in these states. However the heat and chemical potential energy are in general not separately conserved, which gives origin to a basic process of energy transmutation among them. We study both directions of this process in detail, introducing appropriate efficiency coefficients. For scale invariant interactions in the junction our results are exact and explicit. They cover the whole parameter space and take into account all nonlinear effects. The energy transmutation depends on the particle statistics.

description: We describe a new technique (presented in arXiv:1403.1778) to determine the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) of the muon coming from the hadronic vacuum polarisation using lattice QCD. Our method uses Padé approximants to reconstruct the Adler function from its derivatives at $q^2=0$. These are obtained simply and accurately from time-moments of the vector current-current correlator at zero spatial momentum. We test the method using strange quark correlators calculated on MILC Collaboration's $n_f$ = 2+1+1 HISQ ensembles at multiple values of the lattice spacing, multiple volumes and multiple light sea quark masses (including physical pion mass configurations).

description: We explore models for the GeV Galactic Center Excess (GCE) observed by the Fermi Telescope, focusing on $χχ\rightarrow f \bar f$ annihilation processes in the $Z_3$ NMSSM. We begin by examining the requirements for a simplified model (parametrized by the couplings and masses of dark matter (DM) and mediator particles) to reproduce the GCE via $χχ\rightarrow f \bar f$, while simultaneously thermally producing the observed relic abundance. We apply the results of our simplified model to the $Z_3$ NMSSM for Singlino/Higgsino(S/H) or Bino/Higgsino(B/H) DM. In the case of S/H DM, we find that the DM must be be very close to a pseudoscalar resonance to be viable, and large $\tanβ$ and positive values of $μ$ are preferred for evading direct detection constraints while simultaneously obtaining the observed Higgs mass. In the case of B/H DM, by contrast, the situation is much less tuned: annihilation generally occurs off-resonance, and for large $\tanβ$ direct detection constraints are easily satisfied by choosing $μ$ sufficiently large and negative. The B/H model generally has a light, largely MSSM-like pseudoscalar with no accompanying charged Higgs, which could be searched for at the LHC.

Using molecular genetics, we ablated LRRC8A expression either exclusively in astrocytes or in the majority of brain cells. Our new findings suggest that a mechanism other than VRAC-mediated glutamate release plays significant role in ischemic brain injury.
INTERNAL SEGMENTATION, RESIDENTIAL PATTERNS AND JOB-RELATED SPATIAL MOBILITY FOR INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS. AN ORIGINAL ANALYSIS ON PRIMARY DATA.
Creators: name: COLETTA, CLAUDIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: This study challenges the traditions of the sociology of work and industrial relations by taking into consideration a new emergent category of workers: the Independent Professionals (IPros). Recent data (Labour Statistics) provide some hints on the relevance of the phenomenon: self-employed workers in advanced services (finance, counselling, producing-distributing information, auditing and so on) have increased their share in employment in most countries. As a recent survey (Edelman Berland 2014) pointed out, 53 million Americans are doing freelance work (53 percent of the entire workforce) Despite these figures, the phenomenon is still overlooked by the academic literature. The aim is to provide a first description of this phenomenon not only from a mere labour perspective, but considering spatial practices and lifestyles too. Indeed labour studies and economic sociology should not avoid considering space and time as two main dimensions shaping their object of study: workers are not abstract entities, they are fully part of the material environment they move in. Labour markets, Welfare regimes, and spatial processes play together. Mobility-related literature traditionally identifies two different forms of moving to get a job: mobility of less skilled people for whom becoming mobile is the only way to get a job, and mobility of highly qualified people, looking for career opportunities. What is missing in this binary analysis is a new intermediate workforce, the self-employed independent professionals (Ipros) who often experience long distance interregional commuting patterns. Among them there are young high-skilled people with low income who are likely to undergo phenomena of spatial exclusion at the regional level. Where do they live? Where do they work? What are the explaining micro and macro variables? These questions will be discussed in the contribution which has firstly a descriptive and investigative aim. The method of study is based on quantitative analysis mainly performed on web survey data, due to the lack of available offical data sources in Italy. Specifically we provide a detailed description of survey design and data collection process, with a focus on methodological strategies applied for data cleaning, coding and editing in order to better highlight first descriptive results related to research questions. GIS (Geographical Information System) tools have been applied to survey data in order to provide a full extensive spatial description of social phenomena investigated: the core analysis is based on GIS and spatial statistics techniques by using data collected at micro and macro levels.

description: We have systematically investigated the crystal structure and the magnetic properties of BiS2-based superconductor Ce1-xNdxO1-yFyBiS2 (x = 0 - 1.0, y = 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) and Nd1-zSmzO1-yFyBiS2 (x = 0 - 0.8, y = 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7). In the REOBiS2 system, both crystal structure and physical properties are tunable by mixing the RE (RE = rare earth) site with Ce, Nd and Sm due to the difference of ionic radius of RE. In the Ce1-xNdxO1-yFyBiS2 system, bulk superconductivity is observed for x = 1.0 with y = 0.3 and x = 0.5 - 1.0 with y = 0.5. The transition temperature (Tc) increases with increasing Nd concentration. The highest Tc is 4.8 K for x = 1.0 with y = 0.5 in the Ce1-xNdxO1-yFyBiS2 system. By the Nd substitution for Ce, lattice contraction along the a axis is generated while the c axis does not show a remarkable dependence on Nd concentration. The lattice constant of c decreases with increasing F concentration. Furthermore, we found that the Nd site can be replaced by smaller Sm ions up to z = 0.8 in Nd1-zSmzO1-yFyBiS2. Bulk superconductivity is observed within z = 0 - 0.8 for y = 0.3 and z = 0 - 0.6 for y = 0.5. The Tc increases with increasing Sm concentration. The highest Tc is 5.6 K for z = 0.8 with y = 0.3. With increasing Sm concentration, the lattice constant of a decreases while the lattice constants of c does not show a remarkable dependence on Sm concentration. We found that the chemical pressure generated by systematic solution of the RE site in the blocking layer commonly induces lattice contraction along the a axis in Ce1-xNdxO1-yFyBiS2 and Nd1-zSmzO1-yFyBiS2. The obtained results indicate that both optimal F concentration and uniaxial lattice contraction along the a axis generated by chemical pressure are essential for the inducement of bulk superconductivity in the REO1-yFyBiS2 system.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit aus dem Fach Theologie und Geschichte des christlichen Ostens beschäftigt sich mit der politischen Biographie des seligen griechisch-katholischen Bischofs Pavol Peter Gojdič, der die Eparchie von Prešov (Slowakei) von 1926 bis 1950 geleitet hat. Seine Amtszeit war durch die einsetzende Verfolgung der griechisch-katholischen Kirche ge-prägt, die letztendlich zu deren Auflösung im Jahr 1950 geführt hat. Von besonderem Interes-se sind Gojdičs Beziehungen zur Regierung der Tschechoslowakei während seiner Amtszeit als Bischof. In seinem politischen Handeln widersetzte er sich der Unterdrückung der katholischen Kirche und ihrer Gläubigen. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit sind die Amts-jahre von 1945 bis 1950, in denen es zur Planung und Verwirklichung der Liquidierung der griechisch-katholischen Kirche kam. Im ersten Kapitel werden die Fragestellung, der Aufbau, sowie herangezogene Quellen und Literatur vorgestellt. Das zweite Kapitel behandelt die Biographie Gojdičs und stellt die Lebensbereiche vor, die die Charakterzüge des Bischofs stark geprägt haben und die den inneren Horizont seiner politischen Handlungen bilden. Zu diesen gehören die Familie, der Basilianerorden und seine per-sönliche Spiritualität. Das dritte Kapitel stellt die gesellschaftlich-religiöse Lage in der Tschechoslowakei von 1945 bis 1950 dar, die den geschichtlichen Rahmen der politischen Handlungen des Bischofs bil-det. Aufgezeigt werden auch die Logik und Taktik der kommunistischen Kirchenverfolgung. Das vierte Kapitel stellt die konkreten Handlungen von Bischof Gojdič im Bezug auf die Poli-tik vor. Behandelt werden insbesondere seine Protestbriefe, die er an Vertreter des Staates richtete. Das letzte Kapitel bietet eine abschließende Zusammenschau. Deutlich wird, dass Gojdič in seinem politischen Handeln das Wohl der Kirche vor Augen hatte. Trotz Gesprächsbereitschaft gegenüber dem Staat ließ er sich von Machtspielen und Druck nicht beeinflussen. In äußerst schwierigen politischen Zeiten hat er seine Kirche mit christlicher Prinzipientreue, Orientierung am Gemeinwohl und großer Umsicht geleitet.

description: In this article we discuss the calculation of single top-quark production in the t channel at two-loop order in QCD. In particular we present the decomposition of the amplitude according to its spin and colour structure and present complete results for the two-loop amplitudes in terms of master integrals. For the vertex corrections compact analytic expressions are given. The box contributions are implemented in a publicly available C program.

IMMUNOGENIC CELL DEATH AS A NEW MECHANISM OF ACTION OF THE CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC DRUG MITOMYCIN C IN BLADDER CANCER

description: Despite having been used for more than a century, the exact mechanisms of action, of resistance and the best treatment schedule of most chemotherapeutic agents remain elusive. Mitomycin C (MMC) is the gold standard adjuvant treatment for bladder cancer. However, it is effective only in a proportion of patients, suggesting that, aside from cytotoxicity, other mechanisms could be involved in mediating the success or failure of treatment. We hypothesized that MMC might induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), leading to an antitumor immune response. Here, we describe that MMC fosters ICD via the exposure of damage signals, increased phagocytosis by dendritic cells (DCs) and in vivo tumor protection. MMC-induced ICD relies on the cytoplasmic release of mitochondrial DNA that activates the inflammasome for efficient IL-1? secretion that promotes DC maturation. We found the ICD resistant cancer cells fail to generate an inflammatory microenvironment and display mitochondria dysfunction related to low expression of mitochondrial Complex I of the respiratory chain, which is associated with drug resistance in bladder cancer patients. The identification of ICD as a novel immune-related mechanism of action of MMC provides opportunities to optimize bladder cancer management and identify ICD-related biomarkers of treatment efficacy.

description: The following study will focus on groundwater flow, contaminant transport and pollutants degradation in environment with heterogeneous geology. The aim is to identify different approaches to model these areas and to evaluate the anthropogenic impact on groundwater, focusing on both quantity and quality of the resource. The study is based on real data coming from an area with heterogeneous geology and complex hydrogeological setting. The selected area is the Venetian Plain (NE Italy) because several geological, hydrogeological and hydrological data are collected in a sizeable database realized by Provincia di Venezia and data from a monitoring network for the groundwater contamination of an old landfill are available. The research is divided in three different steps. The first part describe the groundwater flow and evaluate the impact of the human activities and works in the area for its exploitation and its protection. The second part focus on a smaller area but with a high density of data. Three different approaches to simulate the subsoil were compared evaluating which need less data to reproduce better the advective transport. The third part evaluate with different approaches the effects of an enhanced bioremediation system. The impressing amount of data available in the selected area and a deep study on the factors interacting with the groundwater allow to reconstruct the architecture of the subsoil using the hydraulic conductivity field and to realise different groundwater flow models. The models have permitted to identify the interaction between the human works (impermeable barriers, drain, remediation systems, etc) with the groundwater and to evaluate the effects that can be produced in the area. Different approaches were used to reconstruct the hydraulic conductivity field in the area where more data are available (Porto Marghera). Several simulation based on different data density scenarios were realized to evaluate flow and advective transport parameters of the approaches. Approaches based on geological data and on hydraulic conductivity were used to evaluate the reliability of the models in function of the data density. The last part focus on the reactive transport of pollution (chlorinated solvent) evaluating the effects of the natural and the enhanced biodegradation on a plume originated from an old landfill located in the neighbouring of the previous area. Different analytical methods and numerical models were applied. Therefore, it was possible to identify where the bioremediation, natural or enhanced, is more active and to evaluate the time necessary for a complete remediation of the site. This research improves the knowledge of an area with an heterogeneous geology creating a technical and scientific study to support the future works in the area and to evaluate the reliability of different methods to simulate groundwater flow, transport and biodegradation of pollution.

description: A detailed mechanism for the four-component RD387 gasoline surrogate developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has shown good agreement with experiments in engine-relevant conditions. However, with 1388 species and 5933 reversible reactions, this detailed mechanism is far too large to use in practical engine simulations. Therefore, reduction of the detailed mechanism was performed using a multi-stage approach consisting of the DRGEPSA method, unimportant reaction elimination, isomer lumping, and analytic QSS reduction based on CSP analysis. A new greedy sensitivity analysis algorithm was developed and demonstrated to be capable of removing more species for the same error limit compared to the conventional sensitivity analysis used in DRG-based skeletal reduction methods. Using this new greedy algorithm, several skeletal and reduced mechanisms were developed at varying levels of complexity and for different target condition ranges. The final skeletal and reduced mechanisms consisted of 213 and 148 species, respectively, for a lean-to-stoichiometric, low-temperature HCCI-like range of conditions. For a lean-to-rich, high-temperature, SI/CI-like range of conditions, skeletal and reduced mechanisms were developed with 97 and 79 species, respectively. The skeletal and reduced mechanisms in this study were produced using an error limit of 10% and validated using homogeneous autoignition simulations over engine-relevant conditions - all showed good agreement in predicting ignition delay. Furthermore, extended validation was performed, including comparison of autoignition temperature profiles, PSR temperature response curves and extinction turning points, and laminar flame speed calculations. All the extended validation showed results within the 10% error limit, demonstrating the adequacy of the resulting reduced chemistry.

title: Spezialisierungswege von freiberuflichen FachübersetzerInnen
Creators: name: Deinhofer, Katja
Year: 2021

description: AllrounderInnen gibt es nur selten – auch unter FachübersetzerInnen. Was die Disziplinen im Spitzensport sind, sind für den Beruf der FachübersetzerInnen Ecken am Markt, an denen sie zu finden sind, weil sie sich durch die Erschließung einzelner Fachgebiete dort positio-niert haben. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich daher dem Thema Spezialisierung als Fach-übersetzungskraft und insbesondere der Frage, wie spezialisierte Fachübersetzungskräfte zu ihren jeweiligen Fachgebieten gelangen. Erforscht werden dabei sowohl die Chronologie von einzelnen Spezialisierungswegen sowie weitere Einflussfaktoren, die eine mögliche Rolle im Spezialisierungsprozess einnehmen könnten. Die Themenfindung lag auch darin begrün-det, dass es bislang wenige Studien oder Literatur zu fachgebiets- oder branchenbezogenen Fachübersetzungen gibt, und eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit in diesem Bereich ein erster An-stoß für weiterführende Untersuchungen sein kann. Die Ergebnisse der qualitativen Untersu-chung haben gezeigt, dass die erforschten Spezialisierungswege in Hinblick auf die Chrono-logie der Ereignisse in der Fachgebietsfindung von einer großen Individualität geprägt wa-ren. Bezüglich weiteren Einflussfaktoren wie Motiven, der Bedeutung von Fachgebietsaffi-nität und Strategien konnten auch Überlappungen festgestellt werden, schlussendlich lautet das Fazit dieser Arbeit aber: Viele Wege führen zur Spezialisierung, und ein genaues Rezept dafür gibt es nicht.
