Keine überdurchschnittlichen Nachwuchsjahrgänge bei den Nutzfischen der Nordsee

In January/February 2001, Germany participated with “Walther Herwig III” in the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) of ICES by contributing 70 half hour tows with the Grande Ouverture Verticale Bottom Trawl (GOV), 78 hydrographic stations, and 88 catches with the Method-Isaac-Kidd net (MIK), mostly in the central and northern North Sea. In total, 368 fishing stations by means of the GOV were covered by the international fleet. Preliminary results indicate that only indices for herring, whiting, and – to some degree – haddock are in the long-term mean. In contrast, the index for cod gives reason to serious concern. In addition, indices for both mackerel and Norway pout do not show any signs for an increasing strength of these stocks. Oceanographic data show that in comparison with the data from 1995 onwards actual temperatures and salinities are in the normal range. However, mean water temperatures of this short period are about more than a half degree above the long-term means of the period 1961 to 1990.

Mehr Nachwuchs bei Nutzfischarten der Nordsee, ausser beim Kabeljau

Ninety-one half-hour tows with the Grande Ouverture Verticale bottom trawl (GOV), 111 hydrographic stations and 100 catches with the Methot-Isaac-Kidd Net (MIK) were this years’ contribution of “Walther Herwig III” to the IBTS in various areas of the North Sea. Preliminary results indicate that especially haddock and, to some extent, whiting and Norway pout generated an ample 1999 yearclass. Indices for herring are also well above last years’ index whereas the cod indices indicate no substantial improvement of the stock. Largest concentrations of herring larvae were found in Moray Firth and west of the Dogger Bank/The Gut area. Temperatures of the North Sea were found to be above the long term means: 1 Centigrade on the open sea and up to 3 Centigrades in coastal areas. This years’ “WH III” IBTS activities at sea were considerably hampered by rough weather

Presio ultzeren agerpen arriskua: Iritzi klinikoa eta balorazio eskalen arteko konparaketa

Presio ultzerak osasun publikoaren arazo bat dira, asaldura fisiko, psikologiko, ekonomiko eta sozial asko eragiten dituztelako. Ultzerak tratatzeko hainbat modu ezagutzen dira, baina argi dago tratamendu onena prebentzioa dela. Haien agerpena saihesteko ezinbestekoa da ultzera bat pairatzeko arriskua baloratzea. Hau egiteko profesionalek iritzi edo epaiketa klinikoa erabili dezakete (haien esperientziaren bitartez ultzera begi bistaz baloratu) edo eskala protokolizatuak erabili ditzakete. Lan honetan, berrikuspen bibliografiko baten bitartez, gehien erabiltzen diren balorazio eskalei buruzko informazioa lortu da. Beste aldetik, iritzi klinikoaren eta balorazio eskalen eraginkortasun klinikoa konparatu da. Azkenik, eskalak euren artean konparatu dira, bakoitzaren ezaugarriak aztertuz. Eskala asko argitaratu egin dira denboran zehar baina gehien balioztatuak eta erabilienak bost dira: Braden, Norton, EMINA, Waterlow eta Cubbin-Jackson. Eskalen artean Braden eta Norton dira eraginkorrenak (hurrenez hurren), Waterlow postu baxuago batean geratuz. EMINA gutxiago erabiltzen da, baina bere eraginkortasuna Braden-en antzekoa da. Dena den, hau baieztatzeko ikerketa gehiago behar dira. Cubbin-Jackson oso eraginkorra da ere baina bere erabilpena paziente akutuetan bereizita dago. Eskalen harrera profesionalen partetik nahiko ona izan da. Haien erabilpena erraza dela diote gehienek, eta ia erdiek metodo hau erabiltzen dute arriskua baloratzeko. %20ak epaiketa eta eskalak batera erabiltzen dituzte, eskalei garrantzia handiena emanez. Frogatu izan da eskalek epaiketa klinikoarekin konparatuz sentsibilitate altuagoa daukatela, hau da, arriskuan dauden paziente kopuru gehiago detektatuko dituztela, nahiz eta bi metodoen efikazia antzekoa izan. Eskalek beraz, faktore gehiago kontuan hartu eta pazientea modu zehatzago batean aztertzen dute. Orokorrean esan daiteke eskalak eraginkorrak direla baina ikerketa gehiago behar dira balidazio sakonago bat egiteko.

Numerical investigation on a transition prediction model

A new transition prediction model is introduced, which couples the intermittency effect into the turbulence transport equations and takes the characteristics of fluid transition into consideration to mimic the exact process of transition. Test cases include a two-dimensional incompressible plate and a two-dimensional NACA0012 airfoil. Performance of this transition model for incompressible flows is studied, with numerical results consistent to experimental data. The requirement of grid resolution for this transition model is also studied.

Conditional independence in quantum many-body systems

In this thesis, I will discuss how information-theoretic arguments can be used to produce sharp bounds in the studies of quantum many-body systems. The main advantage of this approach, as opposed to the conventional field-theoretic argument, is that it depends very little on the precise form of the Hamiltonian. The main idea behind this thesis lies on a number of results concerning the structure of quantum states that are conditionally independent. Depending on the application, some of these statements are generalized to quantum states that are approximately conditionally independent. These structures can be readily used in the studies of gapped quantum many-body systems, especially for the ones in two spatial dimensions. A number of rigorous results are derived, including (i) a universal upper bound for a maximal number of topologically protected states that is expressed in terms of the topological entanglement entropy, (ii) a first-order perturbation bound for the topological entanglement entropy that decays superpolynomially with the size of the subsystem, and (iii) a correlation bound between an arbitrary local operator and a topological operator constructed from a set of local reduced density matrices. I also introduce exactly solvable models supported on a three-dimensional lattice that can be used as a reliable quantum memory.

利用块状介质进行飞秒强激光脉冲的腔外压缩

高强度飞秒激光脉冲的腔外压缩是获得高次谐波阿秒脉冲驱动源的必要手段。实验研究了超强超短飞秒激光脉冲在经过块状介质后的光谱展宽和色散补偿压缩现象。单脉冲能量0．26mJ，脉宽50fs的激光脉冲经透镜在空气中聚焦后再入射到块状材料上，出射脉冲光谱被展宽到接近40nm。由于在块状材料中的自聚焦效应，出射光束质量变好并保持较小的空间啁啾。利用熔融石英棱镜对补偿带有正色散的出射脉冲，最后得到〉0．1mJ，19fs的压缩脉冲。利用SPIDER装置测量了出射脉冲的脉宽和光谱相位。整个系统的能量效率大约为35％，压缩后的

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy study of polyatomic molecular systems under pyrolytic conditions

The technique of variable-angle, electron energy-loss spectroscopy has been used to study the electronic spectroscopy of the diketene molecule. The experiment was performed using incident electron beam energies of 25 eV and 50 eV, and at scattering angles between 10° and 90°. The energy-loss region from 2 eV to 11 eV was examined. One spin-forbidden transition has been observed at 4.36 eV and three others that are spin-allowed have been located at 5.89 eV, 6.88 eV and 7.84 eV. Based on the intensity variation of these transitions with impact energy and scattering angle, and through analogy with simpler molecules, the first three transitions are tentatively assigned to an n → π* transition, a π - σ* (3s) Rydberg transition and a π → π* transition.

Thermal decomposition of chlorodifluoromethane, chloroform, dichloromethane and chloromethane under flash-vacuum pyrolysis conditions (900-1100°C) was investigated by the technique of electron energy-loss spectroscopy, using the impact energy of 50 eV and a scattering angle of 10°. The pyrolytic reaction follows a hydrogen-chloride α-elimination pathway. The difluoromethylene radical was produced from chlorodifluoromethane pyrolysis at 900°C and identified by its X^1 A_1 → A^1B_1 band at 5.04 eV.

Finally, a number of exploratory studies have been performed. The thermal decomposition of diketene was studied under flash vacuum pressures (1-10 mTorr) and temperatures ranging from 500°C to 1000°C. The complete decomposition of the diketene molecule into two ketene molecules was achieved at 900°C. The pyrolysis of trifluoromethyl iodide molecule at 1000°C produced an electron energy-loss spectrum with several iodine-atom, sharp peaks and only a small shoulder at 8.37 eV as a possible trifluoromethyl radical feature. The electron energy-loss spectrum of trichlorobromomethane at 900°C mainly showed features from bromine atom, chlorine molecule and tetrachloroethylene. Hexachloroacetone decomposed partially at 900°C, but showed well-defined features from chlorine, carbon monoxide and tetrachloroethylene molecules. Bromodichloromethane molecule was investigated at 1000°C and produced a congested, electron energy-loss spectrum with bromine-atom, hydrogen-bromide, hydrogen-chloride and tetrachloroethylene features.

One-step digit-set-restricted modified signed-digit adder using an incoherent correlator based on a shared content-addressable memory

An efficient one-step digit-set-restricted modified signed-digit (MSD) adder based on symbolic substitution is presented. In this technique, carry propagation is avoided by introducing reference digits to restrict the intermediate carry and sum digits to {1,0} and {0,1}, respectively. The proposed technique requires significantly fewer minterms and simplifies system complexity compared to the reported one-step MSD addition techniques. An incoherent correlator based on an optoelectronic shared content-addressable memory processor is suggested to perform the addition operation. In this technique, only one set of minterms needs to be stored, independent of the operand length. (C) 2002 society or Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
