ATLAS Muon Trigger for and Channels
No full textOne of the main interesting channels for the B-physics program at LHC is the channel. Since only triggered events will be recorded at ATLAS, the percentage of triggered events for a given channel is crucial. In this thesis the effects of different options for ATLAS Level-1 muon-trigger on the final cross-section are investigated along with the efficiency of the muon reconstruction programs. Through all the study two channels are compared: the channel and the channel which are both the main background one for the other

Człowiek a technologia w ujęciu wybranych współczesnych myślicieli żydowskich: Danniego Schiffa i Moisa Navona
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the responses to technological challenges formulated by two contemporary Jewish thinkers, Danni Schiff and Mois Navon. The former is a scholar in Jewish ethics and the author of Judaism in a Digital Age, published in 2023. Mois Navon is an Israeli rabbi and philosopher affiliated with Bar Ilan University, working on the problem of the moral status of artificial intelligence, author of the doctoral dissertation The Moral Status Of Artificial Intelligence – A Jewish Ethical Perspective (2024), and founder of an autonomous vehicle software company called Mobileye. Their opinions were framed within the discussion of posthumanism and presented on two levels: anthropological, answering questions about how Jewish thought deals with defining the status of humans in the world; and ethical, dealing with recommendations related to the relationship of humans to technological innovations.Celem artykułu jest analiza odpowiedzi na wyzwania technologiczne formułowanych przez dwóch współczesnych myślicieli żydowskich: Danny’ego Schiffa i Moisa Navona. Pierwszy z nich jest badaczem etyki żydowskiej i autorem wydanej w 2023 r. książki Judaism in a Digital Age. Drugi, Mois Navon, jest natomiast izraelskim rabinem i filozofem, związanym z Uniwersytetem Bar Ilan, zajmującym się problemem moralnego statusu sztucznej inteligencji, autorem dysertacji doktorskiej The Moral Status Of Artificial Intelligence – a Jewish Ethical Perspective (2024), a także założycielem firmy produkującej oprogramowanie pojazdów autonomicznych pod nazwą Mobileye. Podejmowane przez nich zagadnienia zostały wpisane w toczącą się dyskusję o posthumanizmie i przedstawione w dwóch płaszczyznach: antropologicznej, odpowiadającej na pytania jak myśl żydowska radzi sobie z definiowaniem statusu człowieka w świecie; oraz etycznej, dotyczącej zaleceń związanych z relacją człowieka wobec innowacji technologicznych

Entrevista con Alan Baddeley
No full textEnglish Professor A. Baddeley, director of the �Applied Psychology Unit�, is presented as
one of the most important researchers in cognitive psychology. Then the interview focuses on the socalled
�operative memory� or �working memory� and some of its implications. First, the author
speaks about his studies on reading development, stating that language deficits could be seen as an
operative memory deficit. Then, he speaks about human learning from the perspective of cognitive
psychology, as well as the links between his approach and that of �automatic and controlled
processes� of Shiffrin and Schneider, or Navon and Copher�s perspective of �resources assignement�.
The interview finishes analizing the links between learning and operative memory.Tras presentar a este profesor inglés -director de la Applied Psychology Unit- como uno de
los investigadores más importantes en psicología cognitiva, la entrevista se centra en la denominada
�memoria operativa� o �memoria de trabajo� (working memory) y alguna de sus implicaciones. En
primer lugar el autor nos habla de sus estudios sobre el desarrollo de la lectura, afirmando que se
puede caracterizar el retraso en el lenguaje como un déficit en la memoria operativa. Seguidamente
trata el tema del aprendizaje humano desde la perspectiva de la psicología cognitiva, así como la
relación entre su enfoque y el de los procesos automáticos y controlados de Shiffrin y Schneider o el
de asignación de recursos de procesamiento de Navon y Gopher. Esta entrevista finaliza analizando
las relaciones entre aprendizaje y memoria operativ
Money-back guarantees in individual pension accounts : evidence from the German pension reform
No full textThe German Retirement Saving Act instituted a new funded system of supplementary pensions coupled with a general reduction in the level of state pay-as-you-go old-age pensions. In order to qualify for tax relief, the providers of supplementary savings products must offer a guarantee of the nominal value at retirement of contributions paid into these saving accounts. This paper explores how this "money-back" guarantee works and evaluates alternative designs for guarantee structures, including a life cycle model (dynamic asset allocation), a plan with a pre-specified blend of equity and bond investments (static asset allocation), and some type of portfolio insurance. We use a simulation methodology to compare hedging effectiveness and hedging costs associated with the provision of the money-back guarantee. In addition, the guarantee has important implications for regulators who must find an appropriate solvency system for such saving schemes. This version June 17, 2002 . Klassifikation: G11, G23, G2
