    Currently, we observe diverging processes of growth and shrinkage in European Cities. Whereas in the 80ies and 90ies partially accelerated through the crash of the socialist system mostly urban growth and suburban development occurred in European Cities, today we find a general decline of population as well as an increase of aged people (as results of the demographic change in Europe and worldwide, Cloet 2003, Lutz 2001). These processes influence land use pattern (state of the environment) and land use changes in urban areas enormously. Land use pattern reflect the current socio-economic development of an urban area and give an idea of how the urban ecosystem is influenced by man. In doing so, for instance, surface sealing reduces the filtering and remediation capacity of soils and the water retention in general as well as minimises habitat quality for wetland species. At the same time, the ecosystem(s) provide so-called ecosystem services, benefits people obtain from ecosystems: water availability, drinking water, remediation and filtering of waste, places to settle, recreation facilities in nature and others. Their quantification enables to bring the change (availability/loss) of ecosystem services into relation with effective costs (economic sphere, Farber 2002, De Groot et al. 2002). The above mentioned population decline and related shrinkage processes will have enormous consequences on the demand and availability of ecosystem services needed to sustain a high and even increasing status of quality of life for European citizens in the next future. Therefore, the predictor variables describing on the one hand shrinkage-related land use changes and on the other its effects are most important but at the same time it is still a challenge; to extract such predictor variables from a huge catalogue of urban socio-economic and environmental indicators elaborated by many studies for different landscape types and scales; to derive relevant digital and spatially explicit data as model input to calculate the effects of land use (change) and; to validate the model results at the city and the quarter level (scale) as well as to prove the response of the (gained/released) ecosystem service (environmental quality) at the city and at quarter level (closing the circle). Here, the author will give some expressive examples showing the derivation of predictor variables for modelling peri-urban growth and inner city shrinkage as well as its effects on water balance, habitat quality (urban green network) and recreational space. Of major interest is the approach of how to tackle the problem of urban shrinkage in spatially explicit land use (change) modelling (Haase et al. 2004).

    This graduate project provides extensive program notes for a graduate-level vocal recital provided by this author in 2022, which examines the different archetypes of love, as theorized by John Alan Lee's 1977 book The Colors of Love. The solo vocal works presented herein by Gaetano Donizetti, Gabriel Fauré, Erich W. Korngold, Benjamin Britten, Stephen Sondheim, and Barry Manilow provide a variety of male perspectives varying in age, nationality, and musical time period. Each selection of repertoire is examined to determine the appropriate love typologies used, based on the historical context of each composer, the compositional background, theoretical composition or musical devices, and perceived characteristics of each singer-character. Selections by Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) and Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) provide variance of nationality, Donizetti being Italian and Fauré French, and male perspective from the 19th century. Erich Korngold (1897-1957) also provides national variance by being Austrian-born and eventually composing for Hollywood films. His set of songs also provides another variance in that they were composed in his pubescent years, unlike Donizetti and Fauré's pieces which come from their more mature years. Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), Stephen Sondheim (1930-2021), and Barry Manilow (1943-present) all lived homosexual lifestyles, which brings a different and invaluable perspective of musical writing from a creative stance where the composers have little to no sexual interest in the opposite sex. Britten, unlike Sondheim and Manilow, was an English composer and his work examined here emerged in his later years, a time when he focused on the close of his life and not the early years of a budding romance. Sondheim and Manilow help in bridging the gap not only in the years between Britten's composition and today but also in the classical genre of music with commercial music for contemporary audiences. All songs in performance can be greatly enriched by understanding the context for which songs are written, the historical background of the composers, and the compositional techniques used when writing the piece. Love songs require an additional layer. The conclusion herein presents a spectrum of love typologies and combinations to study and understand the different love typologies so artists can incorporate these ideologies into performance, which can enrich the interpretation of the music.by Douglas Justin Haas

Lett. 89, 201112 (2006) and may be found at https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2369539.The authors have investigated laser action in ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) sandwiched between dielectric multilayers composed of SiO2 and TiO2. The single-mode laser action was observed at the band edge of FLC. The lasing threshold was much lower than that of simple FLC because of the double optical confinement caused by the sandwich structure. They have also demonstrated the tuning of lasing wavelength by applying an electric field.

However, the records about the history of the institution and your professions are scarce. These factors motivated this qualitative research with socio-historical approach, which aimed to understand the trajectory of the multidisciplinary team between the years 1973 to 1991. Study participants were 13 professionals who worked in the CCR in this period. Data analysis was conducted from the perspective of the theoretical framework of Eliot Freidson, using the thematic content analysis for categorizing data. From this analysis, were constructed three manuscripts that permeate the specific objectives of this research. The first manuscript entitled  The history of interdisciplinarity in the rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities from Santa Catarina Rehabilitation Center - Florianópolis / SC, Brazil (1973-1991), aimed to analyze the historicity in the field of knowledge regarding the health of people with disabilities at Florianopolis Santa Catarina Rehabilitation Center in in the 1973-1991 period. The results highlighted that the pursuit of scientific knowledge in the area through applied scientific literature, training courses and specializations aimed at rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities have influenced the development of interdisciplinarity.The second manuscript, entitled  Family participation in the rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities in Florianópolis / SC (1973-1991) , aimed to analyze the family participation in the person's rehabilitation process with disabilities in Florianopolis Santa Catarina rehabilitation Center in the 1973-1991 period. The results show that the professionals of the institution considered the active and effective participation of the family, important in the rehabilitation and readaptation of people with disabilities face the new challenges of everyday life. The dedication and commitment of the professionals on the inclusion of families in rehabilitation practise a transformative role in the lives of people with disabilities, contributing in return to functional independence. The third manuscript entitled,  The trajectory of the multidisciplinary team of the Santa Catarina Rehabilitation Center - Florianópolis / SC, Brazil (1973-1991) , aimed to analyze the assistance trajectory of Florianopolis Santa Catarina Rehabilitation Center in the 1973 to 1991 period. It stands out as a result the development of new strategies in rehabilitation for adults and children with physical disabilities, and the introduction of pedagogical work in pre-school level. We conclude that the trajectory of the multidisciplinary team of the Santa Catarina Rehabilitation Center in Florianópolis / SC (1973-1991) was marked by great challenges and many accomplishments. Among these we highlight the advances in scientific knowledge in the field of rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities, which enabled the updating of knowledge, improved quality of care and the development of innovative interdisciplinary strategies in rehabilitation for the time. Moreover, the approach of the family with the professional in the rehabilitation process was essential for the disabled person to continue with adequate support in their homes. We can also conclude that the trajectory of CCR professionals was marked by a dedication, commitment and unconditional love for the rehabilitation of disabled people

    Wieners Tauberstelling

    No full text
    Divergente reeksen sommeren is niet zo eenvoudig, want men weet immers niet wat de som is. Hierdoor is men sommatiemethoden gaan ontwikkelen, die zowel bepaalde convergente als divergente reeksen kan sommeren. Tauberstellingen impliceren uit een zwakkere sommeerbaarheid met een conditie een betere sommeerbaarheid. Dit lijkt niets te maken te hebben met een stelling van Wiener dat de collectie van translaties van een functie waarvan de Fourier getransformeerde nergens verdwijnt dicht ligt in de ruimte van Lebesgue meetbare functies. Dit blijkt echter wel degelijk sterk samen te hangen met Tauberstellingen.Bachelor projectAnalysisElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    Topological Extensions of Holomorphic Functional Calculus for Sectorial and Half-plane Type Operators

    No full text
    The theory of functional calculus deals with the idea of 'inserting operators into functions'. The holomorphic (or Dunford-Riesz) functional calculus is based on a class of functions can be represented by the Cauchy-integral formula. A topological extension means that the primary calculus is extended to a wider class of functions and the definition of the operator is obtained as the limit of a sequence of operators defined by the primary calculus. Sectorial and half-plane type operators are operators that have some spectral conditions. In the case of sectorial operators, the topologically extended holomorphic functional calculus serves several benefits. The Hirsch calculus for non-negative operators can be incorporated into this holomorphic approach. The resolvent of the logarithm can be defined without the requirement of the injectivity of the operator. Furthermore, this approach can be used in order to obtain convergence rates for the Euler's approximations for bounded semigroups. In the case of half-plane type operators, the main benefit, the topologically extended holomorphic functional calculus serves, is that the Hille-Phillips calculus for generators of bounded strongly continuous semigroups can be incorporated into this holomorphic approach.Applied mathematicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    Borelsommeerbaarheid en een toepassing op een oneindig lineair systeem

    No full text
    Stel dat we eindig veel mieren in het complexe vlak plaatsen, waarbij we de mieren nummeren. Elke mier loopt in de richting van de volgende en de laatste mier beweegt zich in de richting van de eerste. Wanneer de snelheid waarmee de mieren zich verplaatsen evenredig is met de afstand tot hun voorganger, zullen de mieren naar het gemiddelde van de startposities convergeren. Wanneer we in plaats van een eindig aantal, oneindig veel mieren toelaten, ontstaat er een oneindig lineair systeem. Wanneer de startposities van de mieren een begrensde rij vormen, is convergentie van de mieren naar één punt equivalent met Borelsommeerbaarheid van de begrensde rij die als beginvoorwaarde fungeert. In het geval dat de beginvoorwaarde een convergente rij is, zullen de mieren uniform naar dezelfde limiet convergeren. In het algemeen, dus ook in het geval dat de mieren onder een begrensde beginvoorwaarde niet convergeren, zal de snelheid van de mieren uniform naar nul convergeren. De sommatiemethode van Borel is regulier en er bestaan reeksen die niet Cesàrosommeerbaar zijn maar wel Borelsommeerbaar. Slechts onder een voorwaarde op de convergentiesnelheid van de Cesàrogemiddelden zal Cesàrosommeerbaarheid Borelsommeerbaarheid impliceren. Wanneer een reeks Borelsommeerbaar is en voor de termen van de reeks geldt a_n = o(n^-½), dan is de reeks convergent.Applied mathematicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
