title: Religious Activity and Time Use of 149 Utah Husbands
Creators: name: Thalman, Gayleen Wayman
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: The purpose of this study was to analyze 149 Utah L.D .S. husband/ father's time spent in various activities by their level of religious activity, and to re late their organization participation time to their household work time. Data for this study came f rom the Utah port ion of the "Interstate Comparison of Urban /Rural Families' Time Use" This study used a sub-sample of the original Utah sample. Data used were collected through church affiliation and activity questionnaires and time diaries.
Level of religious activity in the L.D.S. Church was considered along with husbands' time allocated to organization participation, social and recreational activities, and household work. Household work tasks included food preparation, dishwashing, housecleaning, maintenance of home, yard, car and pets, physical care of household members, and non-physical care of household members. Statistical tests used were analysis of variance, correlation and multiple regression analysis.
Findings revealed that level of religious activity did not significantly affect the time respondents allocated to either household work or to social and recreational activities. It did significantly affect their organization participation time. The more active respondents were in the L.D.S. Church, the more time they allocated to organization participation.
Organization participation time significantly affected the time respondents allocated to maintenance of home, yard, car and pets, and to all household work. As organization participation time decreased, time in these two areas significantly increased.
Variations in husbands' household work time were not significantly explained by any of the following variables: age of younger child, level of religious activity, hours of wife's paid employment, hours of husband's paid employment, husband's social and recreational time, husband's organization participation time, annual household income, rural or urban residence, or whether husband's house hold task performance time was measured on a weekend day or a weekday.

description: The luminous Galactic Cepheid RS Puppis is unique in being surrounded by a dust nebula illuminated by the variable light of the Cepheid. In a recent paper in this journal, Kervella et al. (2008) report a very precise geometric distance to RS Pup, based on measured phase lags of the light variations of individual knots in the reflection nebula. In this commentary, we examine the validity of the distance measurement, as well as the reality of the spatial structure of the nebula determined by Feast (2008) based upon the phase lags of the knots. {Kervella et al. assumed that the illuminated dust knots lie, on average, in the plane of the sky (otherwise it is not possible to derive a geometric distance from direct imaging of light echoes). We consider the biasing introduced by the high efficiency of forward scattering. We conclude that most of the knots are in fact likely to lie in front of the plane of the sky, thus invalidating the Kervella et al. result. We also show that the flat equatorial disk structure determined by Feast is unlikely; instead, the morphology of the nebula is more probably bipolar, with a significant tilt of its axis with respect to the plane of the sky. Although the Kervella et al. distance result is invalidated, we show that high-resolution polarimetric imaging has the potential to yield a valid geometric distance to this important Cepheid.

Creep of saturated soil at different temperatures
Creators: name: Gupta, Balarka
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A theoretical as well as laboratory investigation into the creep of soil at different temperatures is presented. Other observations such as the effect of temperature on pore pressure under constant stress are also reported. An hypothesis explaining the phenomenon of creep of soil is proposed; experimental results verifying the same are also presented. Experimental work consisted of the following two types of triaxial tests: 1. Unconsolidated undrained tests on cylindrical specimens without pore pressure measurements. 2. Consolidated undrained tests on cylindrical specimens with pore pressure measurements. A triaxial machine equipped with a non-flow null indicating type pore pressure measuring device was used for all shear tests. An outer jacket surrounding the triaxial cell was designed for temperature control for all tests reported. Observed data show that other factors being constant, strain rate increases with increase of temperature although the relationship between strain rate and absolute temperature is not linear at all times. It is also observed that pore pressure increases with increase of temperature provided other factors are kept constant.

description: We study the axion-type curvaton model, with emphasis on the large field regime where analytic results are very difficult to obtain. We evaluate the tensor-scalar ratio $r$ using WMAP normalization and the non-linearity parameters $f_{NL}$ and $g_{NL}$ by solving the equations numerically using the $δN$ formalism. We compare them with results for the curvaton with quadratic potential. We find that $r$ is much smaller for the axion-type case compared to the result from the quadratic potential, with the difference increasingly more pronounced at larger field values. $g_{NL}$ is found to be positive, unlike the quadratic case where it is negative, and the amplitude of $g_{NL}$ is much larger. Moreover, there is a nearly linear scaling between $g_{NL}$ and $f_{NL}$, with small deviation from linearity at large field values. The slope between $g_{NL}$ and $f_{NL}$ depends on the parameters characterizing the axion-type curvaton model. We further consider a mixed scenario where both the inflaton and the curvaton contribute to the primordial power spectrum and the non-Gaussianity parameters are found to be much larger than those in the case with quadratic potential.

description: Tuning parameters in supervised learning problems are often estimated by cross-validation. The minimum value of the cross-validation error can be biased downward as an estimate of the test error at that same value of the tuning parameter. We propose a simple method for the estimation of this bias that uses information from the cross-validation process. As a result, it requires essentially no additional computation. We apply our bias estimate to a number of popular classifiers in various settings, and examine its performance.

description: Reactive systems (RSs) represent a meta-framework aimed at deriving behavioral congruences for those computational formalisms whose operational semantics is provided by reduction rules. RSs proved a flexible specification device, yet so far most of the efforts dealing with their behavioural semantics focused on idem pushouts (IPOs) and saturated (also known as dynamic) bisimulations. In this paper we introduce a novel, intermediate behavioural equivalence: L-bisimilarity, which is able to recast both its IPO and saturated counterparts. The equivalence is parametric with respect to a set L of RSs labels, and it is shown that under mild conditions on L it is indeed a congruence. Furthermore, L-bisimilarity can also recast the notion of barbed semantics for RSs, proposed by the same authors in a previous paper. In order to provide a suitable test-bed, we instantiate our proposal by addressing the semantics of (asynchronous) CCS and of the calculus of mobile ambients.

title: Marriage Role Expectations and Religiosity
Creators: name: Orme, Gilbert Craig
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: The purpose of this paper was to determine the effect, if any, of religiosity on marriage role expectations. During the past years , the young person's marriage role expectations have been undergoing a gradual change from traditional type roles to more equalitarian-partnership type roles, Religiosity has been found to have a differing effect on the values of people. It was hypothesized that the more religious a person was, the more traditional he would be in his marriage role expectations. Religiosity was determined using a questionnaire developed by Faulkner and De Jong, Marriage role expectations were determined by using an instrument developed by Marie Dunn. An analysis of variance was computed to determine the effect on marriage role expectations of three variables: sex of subject, religiosity of subject, and religious affiliation of subject. It was found that the inactive female was more equalitarian than any other group, The religious affiliation of the subject didn't make a significant difference. It would seem from the results of this study that religiosity did make a difference, particularly with female respondents.

description: This In Brief highlights local ni-Vanuatu support structures initiated through workers’ participation in Australia’s Seasonal Worker Program (SWP) and New Zealand’s Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme (RSE). It draws on recent interviews with workers, families, recruiters, leaders, chiefs and a support group in Vanuatu. In May 2016, more than 600 RSE workers and 64 SWP workers returned to Vanuatu.1 During a field trip in April 2016, just before their return, stakeholders insisted RSE and SWP were detrimentally affecting family structures. The social impacts of seasonal labour mobility schemes are described in various academic works; however, they are yet to be investigated in detail.
title: Real-Time Scheduling Algorithm Design on Stochastic Processors

description: Recent studies have shown that significant power savings are possible with the use of in- exact processors, which may contain a small percentage of errors in computation. However, use of such processors in time-sensitive systems is challenging as these processors significantly hamper the system performance. In this thesis, a design framework is developed for real-time applications running on stochastic processors. To identify hardware error pat- terns, two methods are proposed to predict the occurrence of hardware errors. In addition, an algorithm is designed that uses knowledge of the hardware error patterns to judiciously schedule real-time jobs in order to maximize real-time performance. Both analytical and simulation results show that the proposed approach provides significant performance improvements when compared to an existing real-time scheduling algorithm and is efficient enough for online use.
The Effects of Propofol on Hurst Exponent During Rest and Narrative Listening

description: The current study utilized a rarely used statistical tool in anesthetic research, Hurst analysis, to a group of participants who received propofol administration. Our results suggest that the visual imagery pathway, involving visual attention, primary and secondary visual cortex, is the primary target for propofol modulation during sedation. The moving window approach revealed qualitative differences in the brain activity within a single scanning session, which has not been reported in the literature. Together, our findings add to the emerging literature on the dissociation between mental imagery abilities and consciousness and provide evidence for visual imagery processing in behaviorally unresponsive participants.

description: Inspired by the recent observation of the $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing, we explore the effects of colored scalars on the $ΔC=2$ process in diquark models. As an illustration, we investigate the diquarks with the quantum numbers of (6, 1, 1/3) and (6, 1, 4/3) under $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ gauge symmetries, which contribute to the process at one-loop and tree levels, respectively. We show that $Δm_D$ gives the strongest constraint on the free parameters. In addition, we find that the small couplings can be naturally interpreted by the suppressed flavor mixings if the diquark of (6, 1, 4/3) only couples to the third generation.

title: Individual Family Contribution to Paper Pollution in Cache County
Creators: name: Latham, Carroll Porter
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: Paper waste discarded by families of five persons in Cache County was studied for two seven-day periods. The sample consisted of 19 families comprised of a father who was employed full-time, a mother, and three children living at home. A background questionnaire was administered to each family for the purpose of describing the sample.
Sample families were given (1) plastic bags for storing of paper wastes and (2) bathroom tissue, the unused portion of which was collected with the other paper discards. The weight of all paper discards was tabulated for each family and an average was tabulated for families and individuals.
The highest and lowest total paper weights recorded for the 14 days were 55 pounds 6 ounces and 12 pounds 5 ounces respectively. The national average of solid waste discards per person per day is approximately 5. 3 pounds, over 1/2 or 2.65 pounds of which is estimated to be paper. This sample had an average of 1 pound 12 ounces per family per day and 5 1/2 ounces per person per day. The large variance between national and sample averages may be due to the following factors:
(1) the light weight of the local newspapers as compared to newspapers from other localities; (2) although 110 magazines entered sample homes each month only seven magazines were discarded during the two seven-day collection periods; (3) sixty-three percent of the sample families raised home gardens and 95 percent of the families preserved some foods at home while 63 percent preserved at least 50 percent of the food used in the home.
Less paper waste was discarded by families when (1) the father was in the labor occupational group; (2) the mother was non-employed; (3) only one newspaper was subscribed to by the family; (4) a home garden was cultivated and harvested; and (5) some food was preserved at home.

description: This exploratory study examined the differences between males who have and males who have not experienced nocturnal emissions. There were 104 males between the ages of 18 to 41 who participated by completing a sexuality pretest and a nocturnal emissions questionnaire. The respondents' information and education about sexuality, reactions to nocturnal emission ejaculation or the lack of ejaculation, dream frequency levels of nocturnal emissions, and the effect of other sexual outlets upon the frequency of nocturnal emissions were assessed. Results revealed that in this sample the males who did not experience nocturnal emissions had received less sexual information than ma l es who experienced nocturnal emissions.
title: The Cultural Component of Language Teaching
Creators: name: Kramsch, Claire
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt

description: The current interest in the role of culture in language teaching is due to a number of factors, political, educational, ideological. Both in Europe and in the U.S., albeit for different reasons, there is a great deal of political pressure now put on foreign language educators to help solve the social and economic problems of the times. Educators fear that the mere acquisition of linguistic systems is no guarantee of international peace and understanding. After years of communicative euphoria, some language teachers are becoming dissatisfied with purely functional uses of language. Some are pleading to supplement the traditional acquisition of "communication skills" with some intellectually legitimate, humanistically oriented, cultural "content". Others, who teach their language to non-native speaker immigrants, are under pressure to absorb (read: acculturate) into their society growing numbers of newcomers. And there is of course the recrudescence of nationalism around the world that draws political capital from increased links between national languages and national cultures. The reasons for the growing "culturalisation" of language teaching are many, the motives often contradictory.

description: Foreign language educators generally agree that an important objective of foreign language instruction is the lessening of preconceived stereotypical images regarding the target culture, and a broadening of perspectives regarding humankind and its cultural diversity in general. One would hope that with increasing fluency in a language, and increased exposure to German speakers, authentic texts, and culture-specific contexts and information, students would also develop an increasingly sophisticated and critical perspective of a country and its people - a perspective which is based more on knowledge, observation, and critical of present-day phenomena than on preconceived, simplistic stereotypical notions. Stereotypes, however, are part of the human information processing system and as such are hard to avoid. In the following, we will outline various theoretical explications of stereotype formation, and then present the results of a study which investigates stereotypes held by U.S. students vis-à-vis Germany and Germans. We will conclude with a brief discussion of the pedagogical implications of stereotype formation based on insights from social psychology.
Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability of the Magnetopause of Disc-Accreting Stars

description: This work investigates the short wavelength stability of the magnetopause between a rapidly-rotating, supersonic, dense accretion disc and a slowly-rotating low-density magnetosphere of a magnetized star. The magnetopause is a strong shear layer with rapid changes in the azimuthal velocity, the density, and the magnetic field over a short radial distance and thus the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability may be important. The plasma dynamics is treated using non-relativistic, compressible (isentropic) magnetohydrodynamics. It is necessary to include the displacement current in order that plasma wave velocities remain less than the speed of light. We focus mainly on the case of a star with an aligned dipole magnetic field so that the magnetic field is axial in the disc midplane and perpendicular to the disc flow velocity. However, we also give results for cases where the magnetic field is at an arbitrary angle to the flow velocity. For the aligned dipole case the magnetopause is most unstable for KH waves propagating in the azimuthal direction perpendicular to the magnetic field which tends to stabilize waves propagating parallel to it. The wave phase velocity is that of the disc matter. A quasi-linear theory of the saturation of the instability leads to a wavenumber ($k$) power spectrum $\propto k^{-1}$ of the density and temperature fluctuations of the magnetopause, and it gives the mass accretion and angular momentum inflow rates across the magnetopause. For self-consistent conditions this mass accretion rate will be equal to the disc accretion rate at large distances from the magnetopause.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: The objective of this study was to determine if a highly structured instructional program, as a supplement to a more traditional pre-school program would have an effect on the concept attainment of pre-school children. Two groups of eighteen pre-school children, enrolled in the Child Development Laboratory at Utah State University comprised the study sample.
The eighteen children in the experimental group received the instructional program, in addition to the Child Development Laboratory school experience. Standardized pre and post tests were administered to both the experimental and control groups. A standardized test, The Boehm Test of Basic Concepts, was utilized.
An hypothesis of no difference was used to guide this study. The results of the study indicated that a statistically significant difference did exist in comparing the post test scores of the two groups; thus the hypothesis of no difference was rejected. Although the results obtained were of statistical significance, the numerical value of the differences was very small.
In examining variables within the experimental group, it was found that age, sex, verbal participation, and laboratory school experiences affected the study results.

description: Es ist sicher keine neue Einsicht, daß eine erfolgreiche Durchführung von Fortbildungsseminaren für Lehrer im Fremdsprachenbereich nicht allein Sache einer sorgfältigen curricularen Planung ist. Das Gelingen einer solchen Veranstaltung hängt in hohem Maße von den gruppenspezifischen Prozessen ab, die sowohl in der Interaktion mit dem Seminarteam als auch innerhalb der Gruppe ablaufen. Neben der natürlichen Hemmschwelle, die teils nicht perfekt beherrschte Fremdsprache im Zielland auch stetig zu gebrauchen und nicht, was besonders bei rein nationalen Gruppen der Fall ist, in jeder sich bietenden Situation auf die Muttersprache zurückzugreifen, treten bei Lehrerfortbildungen oft zusätzlich Probleme mit dem vermeintlichen Rollentausch, dem Zurückversetzen in die Schülerrolle auf. Zusätzlich fällt es vielen Lehrern schwer, frei und ungezwungen, und das heißt auch unter Inkaufnahme von sprachlichen Fehlern, in der Fremdsprache vor den Kolleginnen und Kollegen zu sprechen. Die Angst vor Fehlern behindert damit nicht nur den persönlichen Lernerfolg, sie kann auch zu gruppendynamischen Prozessen führen, die den Erfolg der gesamten Fortbildungsveranstaltung beinträchtigen (vgl. Münch 95). Umso bedeutsamer ist eine besonders sorgfältige Planung der Einstiegsphase bei Fortbildungsveranstaltungen, da sich am Anfang aufgebaute Frustrationen in der Regel in den meist vierzehntägigen Seminaren nicht mehr abbauen lassen, oft eher während des Seminars dann zu komplexen Problemsituationen führen.

description: The relationships between various equivalences on configuration structures, including interleaving bisimulation (IB), step bisimulation (SB) and hereditary history-preserving (HH) bisimulation, have been investigated by van Glabbeek and Goltz (and later Fecher). Since HH bisimulation may be characterised by the use of reverse as well as forward transitions, it is of interest to investigate forms of IB and SB where both forward and reverse transitions are allowed. We give various characterisations of reverse SB, showing that forward steps do not add extra power. We strengthen Bednarczyk's result that, in the absence of auto-concurrency, reverse IB is as strong as HH bisimulation, by showing that we need only exclude auto-concurrent events at the same depth in the configuration.

description: The effect of compensatory education was studied as it influences school readiness in preschool children . The research was conducted in the Logan and Providence areas of Cache County, Utah, with 44 children who had completed the kindergarten year of school. Twenty-two of the children had participated in the compensatory educational experience of Head Start prior to their kindergarten experience. It was found that there was not a significant difference between the Head Start children and their neighbors in terms of their performance on the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts. Therefore, in terms of school preparedness, the Head Start children seem to be equal to their peers in basic concept knowledge as they enter the first grade. The findings also indicate that additional studies will be needed to determine if the Head Start children in this study have maintained an ability level comparable to their nearest-neighbor peers.

description: The low-energy cross-section for e^+e^- ->π^0γ is predicted in Chpt at next-to-leading order and the saturation of its counter-terms by vector-meson resonances is confirmed. Further details on this saturation by vector-mesons are discussed for e^+e^- ->π^0μ^+μ^-. Cross-sections are predicted from threshold up to the ω-mass region for different choises of the relevant parameters in the Lagrangian. It is suggested that measuraments of these cross-sections at low-energy high luminosity e^+e^- machines, like DAPHNE, will allow to distinguish between different sets of parameters.

description: Hundreds of electrolytic loading tests of thin Pd wires in different experimental conditions have been performed in order to find out the best procedures for stable, high hydrogen overloading into the palladium lattice. In a very dilute acid solution thin Pd cathodes (50 or 100 μm in diameter) and thick Pt anodes (0.5 mm in diameter) were used in a parallel or coaxial geometry. Normalised resistance (R/R_0) of the Pd cathode was on-line and continuously measured in order to determine the actual H/Pd values. Different electrolytic solutions have been tested by adding to the acid solution very low amounts of Ca, Sr, Li, and Hg ions; high loading H/Pd ratios have been achieved with a satisfactory grade of reproducibility. Several loading procedures have been performed in a wide range of electrolysis current (from a few mA up to 100mA) and at different Hg ion concentrations. The obtained results allowed for the definition of a loading protocol that ensures very high H/Pd over-loading. Stable R/R_0 ≤ 1.2 values (corresponding to H/Pd ratios $≥1) can be currently achieved with an extremely low power electrolytic supply (10V;5mA)

Darüber sollte Konsens herrschen, denn: Ohne Wissen über die Kultur der Zielsprache ist kommunikative Kompetenz in der Zielsprache nicht möglich. Unter Landeskunde verstehe ich in diesem Zusammenhang interkulturelle Landeskunde.

description: The doping of Mn in Si is attracting research attentions due to the possibility to fabricate Si-based diluted magnetic semiconductors. However, the low solubility of Mn in Si favors the precipitation of Mn ions even at non-equilibrium growth conditions. MnSi$_{1.7}$ nanoparticles are the common precipitates, which show exotic magnetic properties in comparison with the MnSi$_{1.7}$ bulk phase. In this paper we present the static and dynamic magnetic properties of MnSi$_{1.7}$ nanoparticles. Using the Preisach model, we derive the magnetic parameters, such as the magnetization of individual particles, the distribution of coercive fields and the inter-particle interaction field. Time-dependent magnetization measurements reveal a spin-glass behavior of the system.

title: Rezension: CHRISTOPH GUTKNECHT and LUTZ J. RÖLLE, Translating by Factors
Creators: name: Prokop, Manfred

description: Students of translation always have to deal with the question of how "literal" their rendition of a text into another language should be, and sometimes it may appear to them that it is their teacher who decides what constitutes an acceptable "transfer of meaning." Clearly, texts are characterized by many different grammatical, semantic, and pragmatic features--some of which may not be explicit and certainly not obvious--that need to be taken into account to produce a "satisfactory" translation. The process of identifying, assessing, and weighting of the source language (SL) text features should ideally result in a reduplicable matrix for which grammatical, semantic, and pragmatic equivalencies can be found in the target language (TL). Gutknecht and Rölle's Translating by Factors endeavors to establish such a matrix of factors governing the production of a given text which may serve as the basis for a rendition into the target language.

description: In this paper we present a study to provide the LNF, under the Accelerator Division responsibility, of an RF power hall to accommodate a 50 MW X-Band klystron together with its High Voltage modulator to be used as a test stand for characterizing high frequency RF accelerating structures. The proposal is to locate the Test Hall in a portion of the LNF building #7 where a shielded bunker already exists and has been used to test and pre-conditioning the DAFNE RF cavities before their installation in the accelerator halls

Kuhn steht als Motto über Bd. 3 von "Sichtwechsel neu" (SWn). In Bd. 2 finden wir an dieser Stelle einen sehr bekannten Ausspruch Goethes über fremde Sprachen, und in Bd. 1 lesen wir von George H. Mead eine kleine Lektion über das Beziehen interkultureller Positionen bei der Beschäftigung mit einer neuen Sprache.
Stochastic conversions of TeV photons into axion-like particles in extragalactic magnetic fields

description: Very-high energy photons emitted by distant cosmic sources are absorbed on the extragalactic background light (EBL) during their propagation. This effect can be characterized in terms of a photon transfer function at Earth. The presence of extragalactic magnetic fields could also induce conversions between very high-energy photons and hypothetical axion-like particles (ALPs). The turbulent structure of the extragalactic magnetic fields would produce a stochastic behaviour in these conversions, leading to a statistical distribution of the photon transfer functions for the different realizations of the random magnetic fields. To characterize this effect, we derive new equations to calculate the mean and the variance of this distribution. We find that, in presence of ALP conversions, the photon transfer functions on different lines of sight could have relevant deviations with respect to the mean value, producing both an enhancement or a suppression in the observable photon flux with respect to the expectations with only absorption. As a consequence, the most striking signature of the mixing with ALPs would be a reconstructed EBL density from TeV photon observations which appears to vary over different directions of the sky: consistent with standard expectations in some regions, but inconsistent in others.

KAIUM at DAΦNE?

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 2008

description: The possibility of producing and detecting at DAΦNE, in the present configuration, a new Hydrogen isotope formed by a (K+e-) bound system (Kaium) is addressed, considering the unique opportunity to have the machine tuned at its best on the verge of the KLOE roll-in, with a dedicated, and relatively simple experiment of short duration. If Kaium will be detected at DAΦNE, it could in perspective pave the way for a series of highly sophisticated experiments focused in the precision measurement of several quantities, as the K+  mass, that, together with K- mass, are strictly related to CPT invariance.
title: Leave-Taking Behavior Between Preschool Children and Their Parents
Creators: name: Aoki, Elizabeth Y.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Behavior of 84 parent-child dyads engaged in separation in preschool settings are presented. A factor analysis and correlation matrix revealed patterns of child-parent-teacher interaction, child-parent tactile-affiliative behavior, and child dependency-attachment behavior. The main pattern showed high parent-teacher gazing, smiling, and approaching interaction and high teacher smiling and gazing activity toward the child. A teacher-mediator theory in which the teacher's presence is important as an anxiety-lessening factor in child-parent leave-taking behavior is suggested and discussed to both interpret the findings and for further leave-taking research.

description: "Fremdkultur" und "Eigenkultur" sind auch heute noch Denkmodelle innerhalb eines "Interkulturellen Fremdsprachenunterrichts". Diese Dichotomisierung beinhaltet jedoch—so meine These—nicht nur eine objektivistische Weltsicht, sie abstrahiert darüberhinaus von intrakultureller Heterogenität, Dynamik und der Diskursivität interkultureller Erkenntnisse. Ich möchte in diesem Beitrag auf der Basis der Ergebnisse einer qualitativ-empirischen Untersuchung an dem konkreten Beispiel "Fremdsprachenlernen" die Heterogenität sowohl von persönlichen als auch von kulturspezifischen Deutungsmustern aufzeigen. Auch die Diskurs- und Situationsabhängigkeit von kulturspezifischen, idiosynkratischen oder auch transkulturellen Deutungsmustern werde ich deutlich machen. Im Hinblick auf die theoretische Begründung und das Selbstverständnis von "Interkulturellem Fremdsprachenunterricht" möchte ich diejenigen Ansätze unterstützen, die dichotomisierende durch multiperspektivische Denkmodelle ersetzen. In bezug auf die zunehmende Multilingualität und -kulturalität der Lernenden plädiere ich darüberhinaus für eine engere Zusammenarbeit von "Interkulturellem Fremdsprachenunterricht" und dem pädagogischen Konzept von "Interkultureller Bildung".

description: "Fremdverstehen" - ein in der Alltagssprache nicht gerade gebräuchliches Wort. Andere Zusammensetzungen mit dem Wort "fremd" klingen zumindest sehr viel selbstverständlicher, z.B. Fremdenverkehr, Fremdsprache, Fremdwort, Fremdenhaß. Der Begriff "Fremdverstehen" hingegen zwingt, Abstand zu nehmen und zu überlegen, um wen und was es hier geht. Die Vielschichtigkeit der Problematik läßt sich vielleicht am besten anhand einiger Fragen aufzeigen.

description: The basic physical principles underlying the operation of a gravitational waves detector based on two coupled microwave cavities are discussed. The general properties of the interaction of a g.w. and an electromechanical detector are reviewed and the properties of invariance of the four-momentum transfer in different reference frames are considered. Finally the interaction process is analyzed either in the detector proper reference frame or in the rest frame of the detector walls, pointing out the connection of the two descriptions and getting a full picture of the process.

Magnetic field dependence of the many-electron states in a magnetic quantum dot: The ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition

description: The electron-electron correlations in a many-electron (Ne = 1, 2,..., 5) quantum dot confined by a parabolic potential is investigated in the presence of a single magnetic ion and a perpendicular magnetic field. We obtained the energy spectrum and calculated the addition energy which exhibits cusps as function of the magnetic field. The vortex properties of the many-particle wave function of the ground state are studied and for large magnetic fields are related to composite fermions. The position of the impurity influences strongly the spin pair correlation function when the external field is large. In small applied magnetic field, the spin exchange energy together with the Zeeman terms leads to a ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic(FM-AFM) transition. When the magnetic ion is shifted away from the center of the quantum dot a remarkable re-entrant AFM-FM-AFM transition is found as function of the strength of the Coulomb interaction. Thermodynamic quantities as the heat capacity, the magnetization, and the susceptibility are also studied. Cusps in the energy levels show up as peaks in the heat capacity and the susceptibility.
