description: The exclusive deep inelastic electroproduction of psi(2S) and J/\psi(1S)at an ep centre-of-mass energy of 317 GeV has been studied with the ZEUSdetector at HERA in the kinematic range 2 < Q2 < 80 GeV2, 30 < W < 210 GeVand |t| < 1 GeV2, where Q2 is the photon virtuality, W is the photon--protoncentre-of-mass energy and t is the squared four-momentum transfer at theproton vertex. The data for 2 < Q2 < 5 GeV2 were taken in the HERA I runningperiod and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 114 pb-1. The data for5 < Q2 < 80 GeV2 are from both HERA I and HERA II periods and correspond toan integrated luminosity of 468 pb-1. The decay modes analysed were mu+ mu-and J/psi(1S) pi+ pi- for the psi(2S) and mu+ mu- for the J/psi(1S). Thecross-section ratio sigma(psi(2S))/sigma(J/psi(1S)) has been measured as afunction of Q2, W, and t. The results are compared to predictions ofQCD-inspired models of exclusive vector-meson production.

description: Societal and business trends in the areas of technology, global communication, multi-literacies, and participatory learning may effect information delivery, content, and assessment of student performance in university freshmen classes. This study investigated faculty members' perceptions of their own instructional practices and use of methods and materials through a questionnaire, review of course syllabi, and personal interviews. Data were used to suggest a study skills curriculum that could support the developmental student's learning experience. Questions about use of methods and materials were derived from the review of literature which suggested that skills in technology, global communication, participatory management, and multiple literacies will be useful in today's workplace. Use of all graded and non-graded items in syllabi were also tabulated. Average use of items for each set of data was determined by degree of use or frequency of occurrence and interpreted as significant or insignificant use. Those items which showed significant use were discussed in terms of how study skills programs could support student's exposure to the item. Data analysis revealed that lectures, writing assignments, and objective exams were the dominant forms of pedagogy used. However, non-text materials, current events, inclusion of multiple and minority perspectives, external events, and graded projects comprised roughly half of the items being used. Visual materials of many types, current events-based materials, and e-mail communication were among the most used items. The syllabus also emerged as an important learning tool. Participatory methods did not show significant use, especially those using the students' voices. Faculty also expressed concern over students' critical thinking abilities and basic study habits; they too felt there was a move away from the lecture style delivery but were unsure toward what. Discussion offers practical advice on how study skills specialists can support the freshmen experience in the areas of reading of the syllabus, e-mail and computer use, visual literacy, analysis of current events, and critical thinking in the large lecture venue. The study concludes that study skills programs will be most effective if they implement systems to gain awareness of faculty's practices, and use core (required) course materials in participatory learning atmospheres.

title: Die Mensch-Hund-Beziehung mit besonderem Blickpunkt auf die Grundmotive Treue, Natürlichkeit und Vermenschlichung sowie Versachlichung am Beispiel des Films "Lassie come home"
Creators: name: Hajek, Elena
Year: 2015

description: Diese Arbeit bietet einen Einblick in die differenzierte Beziehung zwischen Menschen und Hunden. Um diese unter verschiedenen Blickwinkeln darzustellen und die definierten Termini Treue, Vermenschlichung, Versachlichung und Natürlichkeit zu beleuchten werden philosophische Ansätze genutzt. Besonders die Tierethik und der (un-)moralische Umgang mit Tieren stehen hier im Vordergrund. Des Weiteren wird die Entwicklung der Mensch-Hund Beziehung dargestellt und die Funktionen des Hundes für den Menschen als Gebrauchs- bzw. Begleithund erläutert. Dadurch dass die Begriffe Treue, Vermenschlichung, Versachlichung und Natürlichkeit die Beziehung stark prägen, sind sie auch im kunsthistorischen Kontext zu finden. Sie werden anhand der Malerei und der Literatur, die sich stark mit dem Thema Treue beschäftigen; der Darstellung auf der Bühne, wo die Natürlichkeit des Hundes eine besonders große Rolle spielt und anhand von Comics, die die Anthropomorphisierung von Tieren unmissverständlich demonstriert, dargestellt. Als weiterer Punkt wird der fiktionale (Tier-)Film behandelt, wobei hier der Hund als Begleiter des Protagonisten und auch als Hauptdarsteller gezeigt wird. Das Hauptaugenmerk der Studie liegt auf dem Film Lassie Come Home, der als Beispiel der Medialisierung von Hunden herangezogen und analysiert wird. Hierzu werden die vorhergegangenen Definitionen auf den Film angewendet und diese anhand von einzelnen Szenen dargestellt.
description: This thesis provides an insight into the complex relationship between men and dogs. In order to be able to see this relationship from different angles it was necessary to build on philosophical approaches. These approaches helped defining and analysing the terms faith, anthropomorphisation, objectification as well as instinctiveness. Concerning this research especially animal ethics and the (im-)moral interaction with animals have priority. This thesis furthermore depicts the development of the human-canine bond as well as the dogs’ function for the human as working and companion dog. The above mentioned terms, faith, anthropomorphisation, objectification and instinctiveness, have a deep impact on this bond and therefore they are also discussed in the art-historical context of this topic. The term faith in connection with dogs for example is often captured in painting and literature, whereas the instinctiveness and naturalness of dogs is important in theatre and comics often make use of the anthropomorphisation of animals. This study additionally discusses the fictional (animal) film in which the dog is either presented as the protagonist’s companion or even in a leading role itself. The main focus hereby lies on the movie Lassie Come Home, which serves as an example for the medialization of dogs and particular scenes are analysed on the basis of the defined terms.

Unimodal spline regression and its use in various applications with single or multiple modes

description: Research in the field of non-parametric shape constrained regression has been extensive and there is need for such methods in various application areas, since shape constraints can reflect prior knowledge about the underlying relationship. This thesis develops semi-parametric spline regression approaches to unimodal regression. However, the prior knowledge in different applications is also of increasing complexity and data shapes may vary from few to plenty of modes and from piecewise unimodal to accumulations of identically or diversely shaped unimodal functions. Thus, we also go beyond unimodal regression in this thesis and propose to capture multimodality by employing piecewise unimodal regression or deconvolution models based on unimodal peak shapes. More explicitly, this thesis proposes unimodal spline regression methods that make use of Bernstein-Schoenberg-splines and their shape preservation property. To achieve unimodal and smooth solutions we use penalized splines, and extend the penalized spline approach towards penalizing against general parametric functions, instead of using just difference penalties. For tuning parameter selection under a unimodality constraint a restricted maximum likelihood and an alternative Bayesian approach for unimodal regression are developed. We compare the proposed methodologies to other common approaches in a simulation study and apply it to a dose-response data set. All results suggest that the unimodality constraint or the combination of unimodality and a penalty can substantially improve estimation of the functional relationship. A common feature of the approaches to multimodal regression is that the response variable is modelled using several unimodal spline regressions. This thesis examines mixture models of unimodal regressions, piecewise unimodal regression and deconvolution models with identical or diverse unimodal peak shapes. The usefulness of these extensions of unimodal regression is demonstrated by applying them to data sets from three different application areas: marine biology, astroparticle physics and breath gas analysis. The proposed methodologies are implemented in the statistical software environment R and the implementations and their usage are explained in this thesis as well.

description: The present work contributes to the search of anomalous effects in ionic crystals, and possible explications of those effects observed in pure NaCl and CuCl:NaCl system. Single nanocrystals can only be used if their positions arefixed in space which needs forces between a nanocrystals and its enviroment. Therfore, the research of nano-crystals structures requres also the study of these forces. Structural and optical anomalies are determinated by measurements in single crystals of NaCl which contain a low concentration of CuCl. Embedded nanocrystals serve as sources for volume forces and their optical signal is used for the study of local forces. Samples of NaCl powder have been prepared be pulverizing pieces of single crystals by pestle in a mortar. They have been studied by X-ray diffraction. The observed line-widths of Bragg reflexes are about ten time larger than expacted from the well-known data of single crystals which have been subjected of plastic flow. The widths of Bragg reflexes decreases with increasing CuCl concentration, this effect is a true anomaly for each crystal growth process. Pure NaCl presents a storage strain effect due to the existence of the dislocations and the missing effect in CuCl:NaCl system. The optical birefringence effect and a strong correlation data between two opposite faces in CuCl:NaCl system and the missing of this correlation in pure NaCl have been observed. Obviously, a minimal concentration of identical sources of local stresses is needed to develop the collective phenomena which manifest a spatial dependence of birefringence. CuCl nanocrystals are trated as quasi-stable elements which are embedded in the NaCl matrix. The signature of the crystalline state of CuCl becomes detectable by optical absorption measurements and a break of linearity at 100K have been observed. Two different types of forces drive structural changes during cooling process: anion-forces and thermal forces.

A computable general equilibrium analysis of the economic effects of the octroi
Creators: name: Pradhan, Gyanendra
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the economic effects of the octroi, a local indirect tax in Nepal. An economy-wide computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is developed to provide a framework for appraising the effects of the octroi on real economic variables. The CGE model is built around the framework of a social accounting matrix. The octroi is widely considered to be inefficient, inequitable, and prone to graft and corruption. Despite the general awareness of its undesirable effects, the continuance of the octroi is attributed to the inability to find equally lucrative sources of finance. The unilateral abolition of the octroi would cripple the tenuous finances of municipalities. This dissertation finds that the octroi imposes small but only adverse effects. With respect to aggregate results, as the octroi is eliminated, prices fall, increasing real current consumption and real GDP. With respect to the regional effects of the octroi, the study suggests that abolishing the octroi would result in increased rural-urban trade. A reduction in prices would raise real incomes which more than compensate for the drop in octroi revenue. Since the octroi prevents the integration of the rural region in the national economy, its elimination would improve the terms of trade of the rural regions significantly. An improvement in the terms of trade raises the demand for cheap rural labor, raising employment and incomes. The national economy as a whole would benefit because of the large benefits that would accrue to the rural regions which make up most of the country. All this indicates that the elimination of the octroi would result in favorable benefits to the Nepalese economy. While this study has strong claims to policy applicability, it has its shortcomings. Many assumptions are made in calibrating and running the models, and data problems further constrain the accuracy of the analysis. It is therefore important to emphasize the broad themes of results rather than draw direct policy conclusions.

description: In response to current globe challenging climate change, intervening in city space to guide human activities to promote a low-carbon development (reducing carbon sources and strengthening carbon sinks) attaches great importance, which is an essential step for supporting final sustainable development. When confronted with environmental problems, river-based regions that own both natural landscape and man-made properties are always treated as typical, preferred planning and action spaces (poineering urbanization areas particularly in China). In a word, river-based regions normally act as intervention instruments to carry intervention actions contributing in solving environmental problems. Taking appropriate practical intervention actions in river-based regions needs pertinent planning approach that serves as the guiding tool and driver behind to support. In this context, this research focuses on the triangulated relation between “low-carbon development”, “river-based regions” and supportive “planning integrated approach”, from theory to practice covering strategic level and operational level of the planning. This research is organized by three parts. In the first part, it starts with explaining the development course and definitions of three key words, and further establishes general theoretical framework regarding low-carbon development in river-based regions. After that in the coming second part, this research analyses two case studies: a main Chinese case (Haihe riverside region in metropolis Tianjin) and a referenced German case (IBA Emscher Park in the Ruhr area). It dissects issues around the mechanism of planning integrated approach guiding practical actions relative to low-carbon development goals, through applying established theoretical framework. Finally in the third conclusion part, this research proposes recommendations to different actor groups regarding future optimization of Tianjin’s planning mechanism and depicts future development visions. This research is intended to discuss the thinking mode, value orientation, theories as well as practicable methods in terms of current traditional urban planning paradigm in China, for promoting a low-carbon transformation in the rapid urbanization region.

description: In any attempt to construct proper time series when an overlapping period between two data sets exists, one has to observe the behavior of these data sets during the overlap period. In this manuscript we consider the problem of inter-satellite calibration. We consider a pair of distributions of observations which correspond to atmospheric temperatures measured from different satellites. Given the measurements from one satellite and the measurements from the other satellite, we estimate the function that relates these pairs of observations. This function depends upon the differences between corresponding quantiles from the two satellites, and therefore the techniques that will be used for the estimation of this function are based on the theory of the asymptotic behavior of sample quantiles. Using the asymptotic normality of the difference between two sample quantiles we construct a confidence region for the unknown difference function at fixed quantiles. Moreover, we can estimate the sample size needed such that the difference between the true and the estimated difference function is smaller than a specified value. The exact confidence coefficient of such a confidence region is derived and compared to a theoretical one. The degree of normality and continuity of the real data will be used as a guide as to whether the normal theory is appropriate or whether we should look for alternative ways for constructing a confidence region. The alternative method shown in this paper is based on the behavior of the data. It provides a confidence region which has satisfactory performance when compared to the one derived by using normal theory.

A first comparison with other available oxygen data (from floats, CTDs profiles or Winkler samples) in the area evidenced a large difference of the glider oxygen values with respect to the other data. Moreover, a detailed analysis demonstrated that the SeaGlider data seem to overestimate the floats/CTDs/Winkler data, while the Slocum data underestimate them.

description: The ubiquity of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has cemented its role as the cornerstone for an array of location-based services and navigation systems, spanning applications from autonomous vehicles and drones to maritime vessels and wearable technology. Nonetheless, ensuring the integrity of reported geographical coordinates poses a formidable challenge, owing to the proliferation of diverse GPS spoofing tools. This predicament is compounded by the pervasive availability of tools like Fake GPS, Lockito, and software-defined radios, enabling even unsophisticated users to commandeer and disseminate counterfeit GPS coordinates. This dissertation undertakes the task of devising an encompassing and resilient framework, integrating a multi-sensor assemblage comprising camera and motion sensors. The principal objective is the identification and mitigation of GPS spoofing assaults across a spectrum of driving scenarios, instilling enhanced levels of security and trustworthiness.

title: Inszenierungsstrategien in der Öffentlichkeit - Theater am Laufsteg
Creators: name: Brunthaler, Katharina
Year: 2015

description: Das Defilee ist der Blickfang für die Presse, für die Öffentlichkeit. Es ist ein Ort der Inszenierung. Die Inszenierung von Mode - wenn der Laufsteg zur Bühne wird und nicht mehr die Mode alleine im Mittelpunkt steht, sondern deren Darstellung und Kommunikation - ist heute mindestens genauso wichtig wie die Mode selbst. Das Defilee ist zu einem szenischen Gesamtkunstwerk geworden, in dem die Grenzen zwischen Mode, Theater und Kunst immer mehr verschwimmen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt in der Beantwortung der Frage, wie diese Inszenierungen zu interpretieren sind. Welche Funktion und Position haben zeitgenössische Defilees und welche Berührungspunkte weisen sie zum Theater auf? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wurde zunächst im analytisch-theoretischen Teil definiert, was eine Inszenierung und in Folge dessen eine Modeinszenierung ist, welche Inszenierungsstrategien umgesetzt und welche Gestaltungsmittel dabei eingesetzt werden. Dabei wurden hauptsächlich Theorien aus der Theater- und Medienwissenschaft analysiert. Um die Interpretation der Defilees in den exemplarischen Analysen zu erleichtern, wurde im historischen Teil die Ästhetik des Defilees im Kontext allgemeiner Modegeschichte bis hin zum aktuellen Forschungsstand untersucht und in Materialität und Gestaltungsmittel eingeordnet und beschrieben. Schließlich werden im letzten Teil der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit anhand von exemplarischen Analysen zwei Modeinszenierungen analysiert. Dafür wurde stellvertretend für die spectacle Kategorie VOSS vom englischen Designer Alexander McQueen und The Eat des Dänen Henrik Vibskov ausgewählt.

description: A joint effort between EMODnet Physics and EMODnet Chemistry is under development to release a series of more exhaustive river proxy runoff products (based on a simple MOHID Water model) that progressively includes fresh water outflow, total suspended matter outflow and chemicals (nitrogen and phosphorous) outflow. This Proxy product will be configured and calibrated by river runoff (or river water level) data as gathered by EMODnet Physics, river Biogeochemical data (nutrients) as gathered by EMODnet Chemistry, and the EMODnet Total Suspended Matter (TSM) product. This way a number of river proxy products will be generated. To make these new products, both EMODnet lots are working to compile and make available an in-situ data collection of the physical and chemical components as close as possible to mouths of major rivers. For EMODnet Chemistry this implies extra efforts for gathering and populating chemistry observation. Nutrients concentrations at river mouths will be used to produce special higher resolution maps at river mouths, while river flows and nutrients measured at the exit of the drainage basin in proximity of the river mouth will be used to compute nutrients loads in selected points. The development of these new products will follow a stepwise approach starting from the release of the updated river proxy product of the physical parameters, the inclusion of some chemical parameters as a second step, and sediments as the final step. The very first action of the process is the selection of major rivers, considering the geographical distribution, data existence and water discharge levels. The detailed inventory of the existing geoportals, databases, projects and publications of freshwater and riverine inputs to the sea will be the starting point.
Theory and application of empirical distribution functions in the inter-satellite calibration problem

description: In any attempt to construct proper time series when an overlapping period between two data sets exists, one has to observe the behavior of these data sets during the overlap period. In this manuscript we consider the problem of inter-satellite calibration. We consider a pair of distributions of observations which correspond to atmospheric temperatures measured from different satellites. Given the measurements from one satellite and the measurements from the other satellite, we estimate the function that relates these pairs of observations. This function depends upon the differences between corresponding quantiles from the two satellites, and therefore the techniques that will be used for the estimation of this function are based on the theory of the asymptotic behavior of sample quantiles. Using the asymptotic normality of the difference between two sample quantiles we construct a confidence region for the unknown difference function at fixed quantiles. Moreover, we can estimate the sample size needed such that the difference between the true and the estimated difference function is smaller than a specified value. The exact confidence coefficient of such a confidence region is derived and compared to a theoretical one. The degree of normality and continuity of the real data will be used as a guide as to whether the normal theory is appropriate or whether we should look for alternative ways for constructing a confidence region. The alternative method shown in this paper is based on the behavior of the data. It provides a confidence region which has satisfactory performance when compared to the one derived by using normal theory.

 Material examined: Five live specimens from Dhamara estuarine systems from a depth of 2 meter of Dhamara estuary (Figure-1, Point-1, 20°45’29”N 87°01’39”E).
 Diagnosis: Main body subovate; shell divided by a radial groove; robust; posterior part brittle; posterior extension narrower and irregular; inequilateral beaks close to the anterior part; tumid at umbos; anterior broadly rounded with initial pedal gape filled by the callum, large subcircular mesoplax; dorsal area behind mesoplax covered by a long lanceolate metaplax; posterior ventral region covered by a long lanceolate hypoplax (Turner & Santhakumaran, 1989; Oliver, 1992; Subba Rao, 2017).
 Distribution: India: Odisha coast (Dhamara estuarine system, Subarnarekha estuary), Andaman and Nicobar Is., Maharashtra (Bombay), Gujarat (Gulf of Kutch), West Bengal (Kidderpore docks, Port Canning) Andhra Pradesh (Visakhapatnam, Godavari and Krishna estuaries); Tamil Nadu (Madras, Poto Novo, Tuticorin, Krusadai Island, Pamban); Kerala (Cochin, Kayankulam); Karnataka (Subba Rao, 2017). Elsewhere: Eastern Pacific; Indo- Pacific, West Atlantic; Widely distributed in Temperate and Tropical waters.
 Remarks: This species is widely distributed along the coastline of India, estuarine systems & creeks. It frequently attacks the live and dead mangrove timber; makes burrow into soft clay, sand stone, wood and can tolerate a wide range of salinity fluctuation (Subba Rao, 2017). The major morphological differentiation between M. striata and M. fragilis can be well visualised from the Figure 5. It is evidenced that the overall body shape of M. fragilis is much straighter and more fragile than the M. striata. The posterior part of M. striata is narrow and irregular as compared to former one (Turner & Santhakumaran, 1989). The comparison of mesoplax and metaplax of M. fragilis and M. striata which is considered as one of the important tool for species level identification can also be depicted from Figure 5.

The money wage -health insurance tradeoff within the compensation package
Creators: name: Rasell, Margaret Edith
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In recent years as health costs rose rapidly, employers' very vocal complaints about the financial burden of providing health insurance to workers raised questions about the compensating differential for health benefits. This study examines the tradeoff between health insurance and money wages using data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey and its Health Insurance Plans Supplement. A model of wage determination was estimated to test hedonic wage, efficiency wage, and rank-order tournament theory. The health insurance share of wages (the form in which employers' health insurance expenditures appear in the model) was estimated to avoid simultaneous equation bias and a Heckman procedure was done to correct for the incidentally-truncated sample. After controlling for many of the factors known to affect productivity, workers are shown to gain an additional $1.02 in money wages, on average, for each dollar in health benefits received (p<0.01). However, the tradeoff varies by income. Workers in the lower 40% of the earnings distribution give up $0.81 to $3.67 for each dollar in benefits received, while in the top 60% of the distribution, workers receive a wage premium of $1.06 to $6.95 for each health benefit dollar received (p<0.01 for all these coefficients). The results are robust in a variety of specifications of the model. The change in the sign of the tradeoff argues against a single explanation for these findings. It suggests that, with changes in wage levels, there are also changes in the factors associated with the tradeoff between wages and health benefits; alternatively, the determinants of wages could vary over the earnings spectrum. The change in the sign on the tradeoff and the large wage premia received by high earners seem to require a theoretical explanation other than hedonic wage and human capital theory. Both efficiency wage and rank-order tournament theory are consistent with these findings.
