An infinite level atom coupled to a heat bath

Wir untersuchen die Mathematik endlicher, an ein Wärmebad gekoppelter Teilchensysteme. Das Standard-Modell der Quantenelektrodynamik für Temperatur Null liefert einen Hamilton-Operator H, der die Energie von Teilchen beschreibt, welche mit Photonen wechselwirken. Im Heisenbergbild ist die Zeitevolution des physikalischen Systems durch die Wirkung einer Ein-Parameter-Gruppe auf eine Menge von Observablen A gegeben: Diese steht im Zusammenhang mit der Lösung der Schrödinger-Gleichung für H. Um Zustände von A, welche das physikalische System in der Nähe des thermischen Gleichgewichts zur Temperatur T darstellen, zu beschreiben, folgen wir dem Ansatz von Jaksic und Pillet, eine Darstellung von A zu konstruieren. Die Vektoren in dieser Darstellung definieren die Zustände, die Zeitentwicklung wird mit Hilfe des Standard Liouville-Operators L beschrieben. In dieser Doktorarbeit werden folgende Resultate bewiesen bzw. hergeleitet: - die Konstuktion einer Darstellung - die Selbstadjungiertheit des Standard Liouville-Operators - die Existenz eines Gleichgewichtszustandes in dieser Darstellung - der Limes des physikalischen Systems für große Zeiten.

Is output performance all about the resources? A fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis of street-level bureaucrats in Switzerland

This article refines Lipsky’s (1980) assertion that lacking resources negatively affect output performance. It uses fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis to analyse the nuanced interplay of contextual and individual determinants of the output performance of veterinary inspectors as street-level bureaucrats in Switzerland. Moving ‘beyond Lipsky’, the study builds on recent theoretical contributions and a systematic comparison across organizational contexts. Against a widespread assumption, output performance is not all about the resources. The impact of perceived available resources hinges on caseloads, which prove to be more decisive. These contextual factors interact with individual attitudes emerging from diverse public accountabilities. The results contextualize the often-emphasized importance of worker-client interaction. In a setting where clients cannot escape the interaction, street-level bureaucrats are not primarily held accountable by them. Studies of output performance should thus sensibly consider gaps between what is being demanded of and offered to street-level bureaucrats, and the latter’s multiple embeddedness.

The Cellular Level of PR500, a Protein Complex Related to the 19S Regulatory Particle of the Proteasome, Is Regulated in Response to Stresses in Plants

In Arabidopsis seedlings and cauliflower florets, Rpn6 (a proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit) was found in two distinct protein complexes of ∼800 and 500 kDa, respectively. The large complex likely represents the proteasome 19S regulator particle (RP) because it displays the expected subunit composition and all characteristics. The small complex, designated PR500, shares at least three subunits with the “lid” subcomplex of 19S RP and is loosely associated with an hsp70 protein. In Arabidopsis COP9 signalosome mutants, PR500 was specifically absent or reduced to an extent that correlates with the severity of the mutations. Furthermore, PR500 was also diminished in response to potential protein-misfolding stresses caused by the heat shock and canavanine treatment. Immunofluorescence studies suggest that PR500 has a distinct localization pattern and is enriched in specific nuclear foci. We propose that PR500 may be evolved in higher plants to cope with the frequently encountered environmental stresses.
