B --> ([rho]/[omega]) [gamma] at BaBar
No full textThesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2007.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.In title on title page, "[right arrow] appears as the symbol; and "[rho]", "[omega]" and "[gamma]" appear as lower-case Greek letters.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 203-205).This document describes the measurements of the branching fractions and isospin violations of the radiative electroweak penguin decays B [right arrow] ([rho]/[omega]) [gamma] at the asymmetric energy e+e- PEP-II collider with the BABAR detector. Together with the previously measured branching fractions of the decays ... the ratio of CKM-matrix elements Vtd=Vts are extracted and the length of the far side of the unitarity triangle is determined.by Karsten Köneke.Ph.D
The Governance of Global Industry Associations:The Role of Micro-Politics
No full textThis insightful book examines the role of micro-politics in the life of global industry associations. Karsten Ronit addresses the various rules and norms required to administer these associations, highlighting the importance of managing variations in complex member demands and responding to expectations in their institutional environment. Posing a variety of empirical and theoretical challenges, the author charts the state of the art in the study of industry associations, evaluating the current condition of research in the field. Ronit offers a systematic approach to the role of global industry associations, identifying, classifying and analysing the diverse population of industry associations and the expressions of micro-politics that occur within them. Addressing key dilemmas such as leadership, resource allocation and regulation, Ronit examines the many policy areas in which industry associations are active and the areas in which their activities overlap with other policy actors. Offering a critical conceptual exploration of the significance of industry associations, this cutting-edge book is crucial reading for scholars and students researching business and politics, particularly those interested in associational governance in global industries. It will also benefit practitioners working in business associations and consulting firms, as well as policymakers addressing industry association

Coating layer on samples with roughness: numerical study for coherent Fourier scatterometry
No full textFor the development of integrated circuits, the accompanying metrology inside the fabrication process is essential. Non-imaging metrology of nanostructure has to be quick and non-destructive. The multilayers are crucial components of today's microprocessor nanostructures and reflective coatings. Coherent Fourier scatterometry (CFS), which is currently employed as a method for determining certain parameters of nanostructures and isolated particle detection, has not been investigated in the context of multilayer characterization. Retrieving the thickness of many wavelength-thick films using a coherent visible-range source at a full-complex-field measurement is the specific application where CFS might be advantageous. Furthermore, due to polishing in the realistic multilayers, the anticipated optical performance suffers from stochastic changes relating to surface roughness. Few non-imaging metrology methods take into consideration these statistic variances and thus are of interest for this study. Operating in the visible regime, CFS can become a viable candidate to provide cover layer reconstruction in the presence of surface roughness that has a correlation length bigger than the characteristic spot size i.e., in the range of microns. We present forward model results of multilayer structure as measured with visible range CFS modality. The influence of surface roughness is taken into account and the simulation results are discussed. Simulations of micron-sized layers of dielectric on silicon substrate suggest an influence on the far field intensity that motivates a future extended study on experimental multiple wavelength thick cover layer reconstruction in the presence of roughness.

Fabeln aus aller Welt
No full textThis is an impressive large-format book. It contains 110 fables. Impressive is the care at the book's end to list them in a T of C and an AI. There follows on 188 a list of sources, first for the fables whose authors are known and then for the fables whose authors are unknown. Finally there is a brief description of each of the known authors. These pages are done nicely in several colors. The book is impressive in its breadth of authors and sources and in its illustrations. Let me mention some of the best illustrations: the frightened hare about to commit suicide on 28-29; swan, pike, and crab pulling in different directions from different places on the pages (76-77); the anthropomorphic horse on 132-33 who has to carry the dead ass' burden and skin; and FC's artist (172-3). Among the briefest fables is Ein Vergleich by Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (41), in which a molehill addresses a volcano, asking why he plays out his inner struggles before the whole world. I have my own struggles, but who ever saw me spew out fire? Novalis' Das Pferd with its poignant illustration raises the question of the price of enslavement (43). Grillparzer's Diplomatischer Rat makes a good point and is well illustrated (48-49). The marten asks the fox how to get hold of chickens. Use force! He uses force and drives the chickens right to the fox! A clever story, new to me, is attributed to Ivan Krylov: Warum das Schwein weinte (156), accompanied by another good illustration. People keep using Schwein as a put-down word, and the pig finally breaks down and cries. A little ass in the barn is sympathetic and asks why he is crying. He hears the whole story and then responds Ja, das ist wirklich eine Schweinerei! The last fable is presented as a Nachwort: I take it to be a challenging reflection on compassion, again accompanied by a strong illustration.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanErste Auflag

Terms & Conditions of access and use can be found at http://www.tandfonline.com/page/termsand-conditions This exploratory study seeks to understand childhood in Hong Kong in relation to the high-rise living environment and dominant parenting culture among middle-class professionals. The empirical results suggest that it is parenting culture rather than the built environment that creates children's busy, scheduled lives, high levels of adult supervision and limited outdoor play. Building on a strong portfolio is considered to be both necessary to enter the popular British educational system and to counterbalance a curriculum that is supposed to offer less structured learning compared to the local Cantonese schools. It is argued that this paradoxical situation must be understood in the context of parents' personal childhood histories and the highly competitive global labour market in Hong Kong. The paper ends with a reflection on new discourses of childhood that creates cities and its many consumption spaces as urban idylls for raising children
