Knowledge Specialization in Ph.D. Student Groups

Fabiana Visentin, Annamaria Conti

Researchers have argued that specialization within groups yields productivity gains. We evaluate this statement with a focus on groups of Ph.D. students. Using an established technique in computer science called Latent Dirichlet Allocation, we construct a ...

Supramenable groups

Julian Kellerhals

In this thesis we investigate the class of supramenable groups. In the first part we give an overview of some analogous characterizations of amenable and supramenable groups. This is followed by the study of two properties close to supramenability: megamen ...

Critical scaling in the cubic helimagnet Cu2OSeO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Jonathan White, Krunoslav Prsa

We present a detailed ac susceptibility investigation of the fluctuation regime in the insulating cubic helimagnet Cu2OSeO3. For magnetic fields mu H-0 >= 200 mT, and over a wide temperature (T) range, the system behaves according to the scaling relations ...

Watching MOOCs together: investigating co-located MOOC study groups

Pierre Dillenbourg, Guillaume Zufferey, Nan Li, Himanshu Verma, Afroditi Skevi

Research suggests that massive open online course (MOOC) students prefer to study in groups, and that social facilitation within the study groups may render the learning of difficult concepts a pleasing experience. We report on a longitudinal study that in ...

Counting conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups for fusion systems

Sejong Park

Thévenaz [6] made an interesting observation that the number of conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups in a finite group G is equal to the rank of the matrix of the numbers of double cosets in G. We give another proof of this fact and present a fusion syste ...

Insights into the antiatherogenic molecular mechanisms of andrographolide against Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced atherosclerosis in rabbits

Amer Ashrafi

Atherosclerosis is the commonest and most important vascular disease. Andrographolide (AND) is the main bioactive component of the medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata and is used in traditional medicine. This study was aimed to evaluate the antiatherog ...

Finite metacyclic groups as active sums of cyclic subgroups

Nadia Romero Romero

The notion of active sum provides an analogue for groups of what the direct sum is for abelian groups. One natural question then is which groups are the active sum of a family of cyclic subgroups. Many groups have been found to give a positive answer to th ...

L-2-Betti numbers and Plancherel measure

Henrik Densing Petersen, Alain Valette

We compute L-2-Betti numbers of postliminal, locally compact, unimodular groups in terms of ordinary dimensions of reduced cohomology with coefficients in irreducible unitary representations and the Plancherel measure. This allows us to compute the L-2-Bet ...

Relative amenability

Nicolas Monod

We introduce a relative fixed point property for subgroups of a locally compact group, which we call relative amenability. It is a priori weaker than amenability. We establish equivalent conditions, related among others to a problem studied by Reiter in 19 ...

Invisibility and interpretation

Michael Herzog

Invisibility is often thought to occur because of the low-level limitations of the visual system. For example, it is often assumed that backward masking renders a target invisible because the visual system is simply too slow to resolve the target and the m ...
