Herman Rupp Interview
No full textHerman Rupp was born in Waterville, Ohio on August 19, 1888. He began his career as a clerk in his father's store at the age of 18, and was full owner of Waterville's Rupp General Store by 1937. He either owned or worked there for 63 years. The store closed in 1970. He was the widow of Caroline Utz, who passed away in 1968. In 1984, he donated a collection of antiques from his store to the Waterville Historical Society's museum. He became an accomplished rug maker in his later years and won ribbons for his work at many craft shows. His memberships include Zion Lutheran Church, Waterville, and Wakerman Lodge, F&AM, Waterville. Mr. Rupp died on August 2, 1986

Interview of Leila Rupp by Kathryn Reno
No full textInterview conducted at The Ohio State University Archives, Columbus, Ohio.The media can be accessed here: http://streaming.osu.edu/knowledgebank/OralHistory/Rupp_Leila_020615.mp4Leila Rupp describes her experience as the first faculty appointment in the Office of Women’s Studies at The Ohio State University, in 1977. Because the Office of Women’s Studies was not yet an academic unit at this time, Rupp’s position was a joint appointment with Ohio State’s History Department. As the first Women’s Studies faculty appointment, Rupp was influential in establishing and growing the Women’s Studies program at OSU, and developing its curriculum. In 1985, she moved to a full-time position in the History Department, which she held until she moved to continue her career at the University of California Santa Barbara in 2002. During her tenure at OSU, Rupp served as Graduate Chair, Interim Chair (1999-2000), and Chair (2000-2002) of the History Department. She discusses the changes she encountered throughout her time at OSU, including the changing demographics of the History Department faculty, and her experience early in her career as a female in a majority-male department. While at Ohio State, Rupp actively contributed to efforts to establish maternity leave for female faculty and to persuade the University to provide health benefits for domestic partners of same-sex couples. She was involved with the Association for Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Faculty and Staff, the Women’s Action Collective in Columbus, and Stonewall Columbus. In 2000, Rupp received Ohio State’s prestigious Distinguished Scholar Award
Constrained gradient flows for Willmore-type functionals
No full textThis cumulative thesis discusses various aspects of constrained gradient flows of higher order. The main focus is the analysis of constrained Willmore-type flows of curves and surfaces and especially their asymptotic behavior. These flows yield quasilinear nonlocal geometric evolution equations of fourth order, making them challenging from the perspective of partial differential equations. Chapter 1 provides a brief review on the relevant geometric and analytic concepts needed for the following chapters 2 to 7, each of which contains one research article, Articles A to F. Chapter 2. Article A: F. Rupp. On the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality on submanifolds. J. Funct. Anal. 279 (8):108708, 2020. 33 pages. We prove a suitable version of the Lojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequality, a fundamental functional analytic tool to study general gradient flows with constraints, which will be essential for the subsequent asymptotic analysis of concrete geometric evolution problems. Chapter 3. Article B: F. Rupp and A. Spener. Existence and convergence of the length-preserving elastic flow of clamped curves, 2020. Preprint. 49 pages. We discuss the length-preserving elastic flow of open curves with clamped boundary conditions and prove existence, parabolic smoothing and convergence for initial data lying merely in the energy space. Chapter 4. Article C: F. Rupp. The volume-preserving Willmore flow, 2020. Preprint. 46 pages. We consider a constrained version of the Willmore flow of immersed closed surfaces which preserves the enclosed volume. For spherical initial data with nonzero volume and Willmore energy below 8π, we show global existence and convergence. Chapter 5. Article D: F. Rupp. The Willmore flow with prescribed isoperimetric ratio, 2021. Preprint. 39 pages. We study the Willmore flow with a constraint on the isoperimetric ratio. This flow describes a dynamical approach to the Canham–Helfrich model for lipid bilayers with zero spontaneous curvature. Under suitable assumptions on the topology and the initial energy, we can show that the flow exists globally and converges to an equilibrium. Chapter 6. Article E: M. Müller and F. Rupp. A Li–Yau inequality for the 1-dimensional Willmore energy, 2021. To appear in Adv. Calc. Var. 33 pages. We study the relation between self-intersections of planar curves and Euler’s elastic energy and show embeddedness along the elastic flow below a certain energy threshold. Chapter 7. Article F: T. Miura, M. Müller and F. Rupp. Optimal thresholds for preserving embeddedness of elastic flows, 2021. Preprint. 39 pages. We extend the previous result in Article E by finding optimal energy thresholds below which any initially embedded curve will remain embedded under the elastic flow.Diese kumulative Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit Gradientenflüssen höherer Ordnung unter Nebenbedingungen. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt dabei auf Flüssen vom Willmore-Typ, sowohl von Kurven als auch von Flächen, und besonders auf deren asymptotischem Verhalten. Diese Flüsse entsprechen quasilinearen, nichtlokalen und geometrischen Evolutionsgleichungen vierter Ordnung, was sie zu herausfordernden Problemen im Bereich der partiellen Differenzialgleichungen macht.

Volumen ungleich Null und Willmore-Energie kleiner als 8π beweisen wir globale
Existenz und Konvergenz.

Wir untersuchen den Willmore-Fluss unter der Nebenbedingung eines vorgegebenen
isoperimetrischen Quotienten. Dieser Fluss beschreibt eine dynamische Version des
Canham–Helfrich-Modells für Doppellipidschichten. Unter geeigneten Annahmen an
die Topologie und die Anfangsenergie zeigen wir, dass dieser Fluss global existiert
und gegen ein Äquilibrium konvergiert.

eingebettet bleibt

A Fractionally Spaced DFE with Subband Decorrelation
No full textIn this paper we proposed a modification of the "classic" fractionally spaced decision feedback equaliser (FS-DFE) in order to increase the slow convergence rate of the oversampled feed-forward section for LMS type algorithms. This is performed by employing a subband structure for the latter part of the FS-DFE, which results in a decorrelation of the input. We motivate why an oversampled subband decomposition is beneficial and comment on the selection of the filter banks. As an additional benefit, computational savings arise if judicious implementation of the filter banks is combined with the internal decimation and expansion operations in the FS-DFE. Simulations for a sever multipath environment are presented
Blind Multi-User Equalisation for a Dispersive DS-CDMA Downlink under Carrier Frequency Offset Conditions
No full textWe address blind multiuser detection in a DS-CDMA downlink channel in the presence of carrier frequency offset. The synchronous users are separated by re-establishing orthogonality of their spreading sequences in a shared equaliser at the chip level. The adaptation algorithm is based on a constant modulus criterion of the various users, for which a stochastic gradient descent algorithm can be derived. We show that the resulting filtered-error filtered-regressor algorithm requires modifications in order to cope with carrier offset, and propose an combined blind multiuser equaliser with blind carrier frequency offset estimation. Simulations demonstrating the algorithm's convergence and BER performance are presented
