Nuclear Physics B Proceedings Supplement – preprint (2014) 1–42 Nuclear Physics B Proceedings Supplement Universal Aspects of QCD-like TheoriesI
"... In these lectures I review some basic examples of how the concepts of universality and scaling can be used to study aspects of the chiral and the deconfinement transition, if not in QCD directly but in QCD-like theories. As an example for flavor dynamics I discuss a quark-hadron model to describe th ..."

the phase diagram of two-color QCD with the functional renormalization group. Universal aspects of deconfinement are illustrated mainly in the 2 + 1 dimensional SU(N) gauge theories with second order transition where many exact results from spin models can be exploited.
Universität Oldenburg, D-26111 OldenburgClimate Policy with Technology Transfers and Permit Trading
, 2011
"... In this paper, we analyze technology transfers (TT) and tradable emission rights, which are core issues of the ongoing climate negotiations. Subsidizing TT leads to the adoption of better abatement technologies in developing countries, thereby reducing the international permit price. This is benefic ..."

1Robust M-Estimation for Heavy Tailed Nonlinear AR-GARCH (with Supplemental Appendix C)
, 2011
"... We develop new tail-trimmed M-estimation methods for heavy tailed Nonlinear AR-GARCH models. Tail-trimming allows both identi…cation of the true parameter and asymptotic normality for nonlinear models with asymmetric errors. In heavy tailed cases the rate of convergence is in…nitesimally close to th ..."

INTRODUCTION It is now widely accepted that log-returns of many macroeconomic and …nancial time series are heavy tailed, asymmetrically distributed, and exhibit clustering of large values

Nonlinear eects in two-layer large-amplitude
, 1999
"... Baroclinic large-amplitude geostrophic (LAG) models, which assume a leading-order geostrophic balance but allow for large-amplitude isopycnal deflections, provide a suitable framework to model the large-amplitude motions exhibited in frontal regions. The qualitative dynamical characterization of LAG ..."

All JMS products promise good performance and to properly support the QoS attributes specified in the standard, making it hard to choose between them. Customers who want to determine which JMS ..."

JMS is an API specification that defines a standard way for Java applications to access messaging services. All JMS products promise good performance and to properly support the QoS attributes specified in the standard, making it hard to choose between them. Customers who want to determine which JMS product best meets their requirements need a simple, effective and fair methodology for evaluating and comparing competing implementations. This paper presents an empirical methodology for evaluating the QoS implementation of a JMS product. We present a number of test scenarios and define metrics for measuring performance and message persistence. We then illustrate this methodology by using it to evaluate two leading JMS products. Our evaluation results show differences between these products in terms of their overall performance and the impact of various QoS attributes. The case study demonstrates that our empirical methodology is an effective and practical way to test the performance of JMS and other messaging systems.

We conjecture that when auditor remuneration is excessively large, investors may perceive the auditor to be economically bonded to the cli ..."

Since cosmological black holes modify the density and pressure of the surrounding universe, and introduce heat conduction, they produce simple models of cosmologi-cal inhomogeneities that can be used to study the eect of inhomogeneities on the universe's expansion. In this thesis, new cosmological black hole solutions are ob-tained by generalizing the expanding Kerr-Schild cosmological black holes to obtain the charged case, by performing a Kerr-Schild transformation of the Einstein-de Sitter universe (instead of a closed universe) to obtain non-expanding Kerr-Schild cosmo-logical black holes in asymptotically-
at universes, and by performing a conformal transformation on isotropic black hole spacetimes to obtain isotropic cosmological black hole spacetimes. The latter approach is found to produce cosmological black holes with energy-momentum tensors that are physical throughout spacetime, unlike previous solutions for cosmological black holes, which violate the energy conditions in some region of spacetime. In addition, it is demonstrated that radiation-dominated and matter-dominated Einstein-de Sitter universes can be directly matched across a hypersurface of constant time, and this is used to generate the rst solutions for primordial black holes that evolve from being in radiation-dominated background universes to matter-dominated background universes. Finally, the Weyl curvature, volume expansion, velocity eld, shear, and acceleration are calculated for the cos-ii mological black holes. Since the non-isotropic black holes introduce shear, according to Raychaudhuri's equation they will tend to decrease the volume expansion of the universe. Unlike several studies that have suggested the relativistic backreaction of inhomogeneities would lead to an accelerating expansion of the universe, it is con-cluded that shear should be the most likely in
uence of inhomogeneities, so they should most likely decrease the universe's expansion. iii
