Cahn–Hilliard-type Equations: Robust Discretization and Efficient Implementation
Penzler, Patrick (2009-05-11)In this work, a robust and efficient numerical method to simulate Cahn–Hilliard-type equations is presented. The considered equations are of fourth order and contain two nonlinearities: one is the concentration-dependent ... -
Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Feynman Integral Computations: The Family of Banana Feynman Graphs
Nega, Christoph (2022-01-17)In this thesis we use geometrical and string theoretic inspired methods to compute Feynman integrals. We analyze the important family of l-loop banana Feynman graphs. For this we relate the abstract l-loop Feynman integral ... -
Calculating Corrections in F-Theory from Refined BPS Invariants and Backreacted Geometries
Poretschkin, Maximilian (2015-03-31)This thesis presents various corrections to F-theory compactifications which rely on the computation of refined Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) invariants and the analysis of backreacted geometries. <br /> Detailed ... -
Calculating Sparse and Dense Correspondences for Near-Isometric Shapes
Burghard, Oliver (2018-05-29)Comparing and analysing digital models are basic techniques of geometric shape processing. These techniques have a variety of applications, such as extracting the domain knowledge contained in the growing number of digital ... -
Calibration of Terrestrial Laser Scanners: Kalibrierung terrestrischer Laserscanner
Holst, Christoph; Neuner, Hans; Wieser, Andreas; Wunderlich, Thomas; Kuhlmann, Heiner (2016)The calibration of a laser scanner is necessary to reduce systematic errors in the acquired point cloud. Furthermore, calibrating laser scanners is motivated by the need of users to access up-to-date quality information. ... -
Calidad de aire y sostenibilidad: Revisión de la contaminación atmosférica por PM2.5 en ciudades de América Latina y Europa
Maldonado García, Eliana; Aguirre Rincón, Pablo (2024-02-12)En este artículo abordo la centralidad de los cuidados, entendiéndolos como un derecho, no sólo para la comunidad sino para la naturaleza, desde el marco conceptual de la ecología política feminista latinoamericana. Propongo ... -
Call Center in Deutschland: Räumliche Analyse einer standortunabhängigen Dienstleistung
Halves, Jan-Peter (2001)Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich am Beispiel der für Deutschland noch relativ neuen Dienstleistung Call Center kritisch mit der Büromarktforschung und der Standortlehre von Büro betrieben auseinander. Der empirische Ansatz ... -
Can a concern for status reconcile diverse social welfare programs?
Stark, Oded; Jakubek, Marcin (2016-04)Let there be two individuals: “rich,” and “poor.” Due to inefficiency of the income redistribution policy, if a social planner were to tax the rich in order to transfer to the poor, only a fraction of the taxed income would ... -
Can a deportation policy backfire?
Stark, Oded; Byra, Lukasz (2019-10)Drawing on a model in which utility is derived from consumption and effort (labor supply), we ask how the deportation of a number of undocumented migrants influences the decisions regarding labor supply, consumption, and ... -
Can a specially designed information intervention around the WASH-agriculture linkages make any difference?: Experimental evidence of behavioral changes and health impacts
Malek, Mohammad Abdul; Khan, Tahsina Naz; Gerber, Nicolas; Saha, Ratnajit; Mohammad, Ikhtiar (2016-04)This paper attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of the specially designed packages of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions with <em>‘student brigades’</em> (student teams tasked with maintaining hygiene in ... -
Can altruism lead to a willingness to take risks?
Stark, Oded (2023-10)I study attitudes towards risk taking in cases where a person relates to others positively, namely altruistically. This study is needed because it is unclear how altruism influences the inclination of an altruistic person ... -
Can big companies’ initiatives to promote mechanization benefit small farms in Africa?: A case study from Zambia
Adu-Baffour, Ferdinand; Daum, Thomas; Birner, Regina (2018-06)After many years of neglect, there is a renewed interest in agricultural mechanization in Africa. Since government initiatives to promote mechanization, e.g., by importing and subsidizing tractors, are confronted with major ... -
