Geographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction
No full textGeographic profiling uses the locations of connected crime sites to make inferences about the probable location of the offender’s ‘anchor point’ (usually a home, but sometimes a workplace). We show how the basic ideas of the method were used in a Gestapo investigation that formed the basis of a classic German novel about domestic resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. We use modern techniques to re-analyse this case, and show that these successfully locate the Berlin home address of Otto and Elise Hampel, who had distributed hundreds of anti-Nazi postcards, after analysing just 34 of the 214 incidents that took place before their arrest. Our study provides the first empirical evidence to support the suggestion that analysis of minor terrorism-related acts such as graffiti and theft could be used to help locate terrorist bases before more serious incidents occur
Total Hadronic Cross Section And The Elastic Slope: An Almost Model-independent Connection
No full textAn almost model-independent parametrization for the ratio of the total cross section to the elastic slope, as function of the center of mass energy, is introduced. The analytical result is based on the approximate relation of this quantity with the ratio R of the elastic to total cross section and empirical fits to the R data from proton-proton scattering above 10 GeV, under the conditions of asymptotic unitarity and the black-disk limit. This parametrization may be useful in studies of extensive air showers and the determination of the proton-proton total cross section from proton-air production cross section in cosmic-ray experiments. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.880111Ulrich, R., Engel, R., Müller, S., Schüssler, F., Unger, M., (2009) Nucl.

An Updated Analysis On The Rise Of The Hadronic Total Cross-section At The Lhc Energy Region
No full textA forward amplitude analysis on pp and elastic scattering above 5 GeV is presented. The dataset includes the recent high-precision TOTEM measurements of the pp total and elastic (integrated) cross-sections at 7 TeV and 8 TeV. Following previous works, the leading high-energy contribution for the total cross-section (σtot) is parametrized as lnγ(s/sh), where γ and s h are free real fit parameters. Singly-subtracted derivative dispersion relations are used to connect σtot and the rho parameter (ρ) in an analytical way. Different fit procedures are considered, including individual fits to σtot data, global fits to σtot and ρ data, constrained and unconstrained data reductions. The results favor a rise of the σtot faster than the log-squared bound by Froissart and Martin at the LHC energy region. The parametrization for σtot is extended to fit the elastic cross-section (σel) data with satisfactory results. The analysis indicates an asymptotic ratio σel/σ tot consistent with 1/3 (as already obtained in a previous work). A critical discussion on the correlation, practical role and physical implications of the parameters γ and sh is presented. The discussion confronts the 2002 prediction of σtot by the COMPETE Collaboration and the recent result by the Particle Data Group (2012 edition of the Review of Particle Physics). Some conjectures on possible implications of a fast rise of the proton-proton total cross-section at the highest energies are also presented. © 2013 World Scientific Publishing Company.2820Froissart, M., (1961) Phys.

Design drawing / Francis D.K. Ching with Steve Juroszek.
No full textIncludes index.Book fair 2013.viii, 408 p. :Get the completely revised edition to mastering the visual language of architecture. In his distinctive graphic style, world-renowned author and architecture educator Francis D.K. Ching takes us on another exciting journey through the process of creation. In Design Drawing, Second Edition, he unmasks the basic cognitive processes that drive visual perception and expression, incorporating observation, memory, and rendering into a creative whole. This edition unites imaginative vision with fundamental architectural principles to cover the traditional basics of drawing, including line, shape, tone, and space. Guiding the reader step-by-step through the entire drawing process, Design Drawing also examines different types of drawing techniques such as multiview, paraline, and perspective drawings -- and how they can be applied to achieve stunning results. In addition, this edition: -Goes beyond basic drawing books'Ching not only covers the principles, media, and techniques of drawing, but also places these within the context of what and why designers draw.-Features more than 1,500 hand-rendered drawings'beautiful illustrations that reinforce the concepts and lessons of each chapter.-Includes a supplemental CD-ROM'viewers will gain a greater appreciation of the techniques presented in this book through the power of animation, video, and 3D models. Twelve new modules are included, as is a video of the author demonstrating freehand techniques in a step-by-step manner. For professional architects, designers, fine artists, illustrators, teachers and students alike, this all-in-one package is both an effective tool and an outstanding value, demonstrating concepts and techniques in a visually stimulating format that transends comparable works in the field

He is currently holds the Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington.He has received awards from prestigious organizations such as the American Institute of Architects and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards.More recently, in 2013, he received the gold medal of the UID, in Matera , where we had the pleasure of meeting Frank Ching in person and invited him to this interview, which has now been published.At Matera, surrounded by his students, the professor drew the Sassi, illustrating in front of our eyes, what he has been doing for decades: using Drawing as a cognitive and creative tool. His way to approach arquitectural drawing has been a benchmark for many generations of graphic arts teachers. Currently he is still regularly sharing new drawings on his personal web page from which we can continually learn and enjoy.[ES] Entrevista con Francis D. K. Ching.
