<p>У овој докторској дисертацији извршен је преглед постојећих метода мерења угаоног положаја и дат је предлог нове методе за мерење апсолутног угаоног положаја. Предложена мерна метода заснива се на примени трансформације боје објекта из Декартовог RGB простора боја у неки од цилиндричних, кориснички оријентисаних, простора боја (HSV, HSI, HLS). На бази предложене мерне методе конструисан је сензор апсолутног угаоног положаја који се састоји од три оптичка рефлексиона сензора и штампаног шаблона са сивом скалом. Тачност, поновљивост и резолуција мерења, постигнути приликом тестирања сензора су &plusmn;1 &deg;, &plusmn;0,3 &deg; и 0,1 &deg;.</p> / <p>U ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji izvršen je pregled postojećih metoda merenja ugaonog položaja i dat je predlog nove metode za merenje apsolutnog ugaonog položaja.

MSc (Statistics) / Department of Statistics / Foreign direct investment plays an important role in the economic growth process in the host country, since foreign direct investment is considered as a vehicle transferring new ideas, capital, superior technology and skills from developed country to developing country. Non-parametric quantile regression is used in this study to estimate the relationship between foreign direct investment and the factors in uencing it in South Africa, using the data for the period 1996 to 2015. The variables are selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique, and all the variables were selected to be in the models. The developed non-parametric quantile regression models were used for forecasting the future in ow of foreign direct investment in South Africa. The forecast evaluation was done for all models and the laplace radial basis kernel, ANOVA radial basis kernel and linear quantile regression averaging were selected as the three best models based on the accuracy measures (mean absolute percentage error, root mean square error and mean absolute error). The best set of forecast was selected based on the prediction interval coverage probability, Prediction interval normalized average deviation and prediction interval normalized average width. The results showed that linear quantile regression averaging is the best model to predict foreign direct investment since it had 100% coverage of the predictions. Linear quantile regression averaging was also con rmed to be the best model under the forecast error distribution. One of the contributions of this study was to bring the accurate foreign direct investment forecast results that can help policy makers to come up with good policies and suitable strategic plans to promote foreign direct investment in ows into South Africa. / NRF

Im Niedertemperaturplasma einer Stickstoff-Hochfrequenzgasentladung werden mit Hilfe der plasmadiagnostischen Methoden LIF und OES räumliche Konzentrationsprofile der N2-Triplett-Zustände A, B und C in verschiedenen Schwingungsniveaus studiert. Dabei wird die Druckabhängigkeit im Bereich 30 bis 100 Pa und die Abhängigkeit von der Brennspannung bis 250 V untersucht. Die deutlich unterschiedlichen räumlichen Verteilungen der verschiedenen Spezies werden mit Hilfe einer Modellierung beschrieben, die sowohl Elektronenstoßanregung in der Plasmarandschicht als auch Diffusion, Stoßabregung, Kaskadenprozesse sowie Deaktivierung durch Wandstöße berücksichtigt. Dabei zeigt sich, daß vor allem Wandstöße für die räumliche Verteilung der langlebigen Spezies A(v=0,1) von zentraler Bedeutung sind. Die kurzlebigen C und B finden sich hingegen hauptsächlich in der Plasmarandschicht. Durch die Kombination der LIF mit Rayleighstreulichtexperimenten werden absolute Teilchendichten der drei Triplett-Zustände bestimmt.

The master thesis is called Libeň Gasholder within the Czech Modern Art. The diplomate will work out a study of importance and meanings of Libeň gasholder within the iconography of the Czech modern art. The first part will expose the gasholder itself, its creation and its later life when it did not serve its original function any more, and will define the shifts of context in the perception of the gasholder as a part of the city. She will first briefly describe how Libeň transformed into an industrial city. The brief outline of the technology of gas production, transport and storage in the following part will clarify what determines the shape of the structure and will provide its basic typology. An independent chapter will deal with absolute forms in architecture and various meanings of sphere in the visual culture. The issues of transitions of things outside the artistic world into artistic ones will first be addressed by the depiction of Libeň gasholder in literature. The core of the thesis will lay in an analysis of a concentrated and typologically sorted art material. Based on that, the thesis will conclude with a clarification and summary of meanings ascribed to Libeň gasholder image in the context of Czech art. An image documentation will be attached to the thesis.

Der Beitrag stellt eine Verallgemeinerung der Ergebnisse dar, die in den Informationen/07; 1976,05 veröffentlicht wurden. Sei F_n(x) die Verteilungsfunktion der Summe X_1+X_2+...+X_n, wobei X_1, X_2, ...,X_n unabhängige und nicht notwendig identisch verteilte Zufallsgrößen mit endlichen absoluten Momenten c_m, m>2, sind, und sei Phi die standardisierte Normalverteilungsfunktion. Es werden absolute Konstanten L_m derart berechnet, dass wir Fehlerabschätzungen im unleichmäßigen zentralen Grenzwertsatz explizit angeben können. Als Spezialfall ergibt sich die ungleichmäßige Fehlerschranke von A.BIKELIS (1966) im Fall der Existenz dritter absoluter Momente. Weiterhin werden Grenzwertsätze unter Voraussetzung einseitiger Momente betrachtet. Es werden einige Literaturhinweise angegeben.:1. Grenzwertsätze für verschieden verteilte Zufallsgrößen S. 1 2. Grenzwertsätze unter Voraussetzung einseitiger Momente S. 6 3. Beweise zum Abschnitt 1 S. 7 4. Beweise zum Abschnitt 2 S. 14 Literatur S. 16 / The paper is a generalization of the results, published by the author in Informationen/07; 1976,05. Let F_n(x) be the cdf of X_1+X_2+...+X_n, where X_1, X_2, ...,X_n are non iid random variables with m-th absolute moment c_m, m>2, and Phi the cdf of the unit normal law. Explicit universal constants L_m are computed such that we have some error estimates in the nonuniform central limit theorem. A special case is the nonuniform error bound by A.BIKELIS (1966) in the case of existence of third absolute moments. Furthermore limit theorems with assumption of onesided moments are considered. Some references are given.:1. Grenzwertsätze für verschieden verteilte Zufallsgrößen S. 1 2. Grenzwertsätze unter Voraussetzung einseitiger Momente S. 6 3. Beweise zum Abschnitt 1 S. 7 4. Beweise zum Abschnitt 2 S. 14 Literatur S. 16

Es wird eine Folge unabhängiger zentrierter Zufallsgrößen betrachtet, die absolute Momente der Ordnung m, 2<m<3, besitzen mögen. Dann gelten für die normierte Verteilungsfunktion der Zufallssumme X_1+X_2+...+X_n der zentrale Grenzwertsatz und insbesondere eine ungleichmäßige Fehlerabschätzung von A.BIKELIS (1966). In der vorliegenden Note werden die analytische Struktur der in dieser Fehlerabschätzung auftretenden Konstanten L=L(m) genauer untersucht sowie dazu erzielte numerische Resultate vorgelegt. Abschließend werden einige Literaturhinweise angegeben. Der Fall m=3 wurde bereits in der Dissertation (TU Dresden 1977) des Autors untersucht. / We consider a sequence of centered and independent random variables with moments of order m, 2<m<3. Now the central limit theorem for the distribution function of the normed sum X_1+X_2+...+X_n and especially a nonuniform error estimate by A.BIKELIS (1966) hold. In this paper the analytical structure of the appearing constant L=L(m) of the error bound and numerical results are presented. Finally some references are given. The case m=3 was already studied in the thesis (Dissertation TU Dresden, 1977) by the author.

This thesis deals with study of mappings preserving Borel classes or absolute Borel classes. We prove a theorem which shows that under some assumptions there exists a (selection) function with certain properties. Using this theorem we obtain several results on preservation of Borel classes. Moreover, thanks to that theorem we prove a theorem on preservation of absolute Borel classes under a perfect mapping. Next, we show an assertion which implies that a piecewise closed mapping has a restriction that is "piecewise perfect" and its image is equal to the image of the original mapping. Under certain additional assumptions we prove a similar assertion for an Fσ-mapping instead of a piecewise closed mapping. Using these assertions and the theorem on preservation of absolute Borel classes under a perfect mapping we obtain further results on preservation of absolute Borel classes, in particular, for piecewise closed mappings and Fσ- -mappings. In the last chapter we study mappings such that the inverse image of an open set under these mappings is of a particular additive class. 1

Swedish has the absolute reflexive construction, where a reflexive marker appears to be usedas an antipassive marker. Similar constructions, with omitted objects and reflexive marking on the verb, are found in Slavic and Baltic languages and is only possible with a small set of verbs.This study examines this group of verbs in Swedish and a sample of European languages andfinds that the verbs express unwanted action on an animate patient. They also share features of non-resultativity, potential reciprocality and atelicity. A set of core meanings, including ‘hit’,‘push’ and ‘bite’ are the most frequently occurring in absolute reflexives also in Slavic and Baltic languages. Lexical semantics hence play an important role in the extension of functions of reflexive markers in these languages. There is a functional overlap of reciprocal and absolute reflexive function in all of the languages, resulting in clauses with ambiguous reading between reciprocal and antipassive. It is suggested that the antipassive function of reflexive markers has grammaticalized from the reciprocal function of this marker. / I svenska finns en absolut reflexiv konstruktion, där en reflexivmarkör verkar fungera som en antipassivmarkör. Liknande konstruktioner, med utelämnat objekt och reflexiv markering på predikatet, finns även i slaviska och baltiska språk och är bara möjliga med en liten grupp verb. Den här studien undersöker denna grupp av verb i svenska och i ett urval av europeiska språk och visar att verben uttrycker oönskad handling på en animat patient. Verben är också icke-resultativa, potentiellt reciproka och ateliska. En grupp av kärnbetydelser som ’slå’, ’knuffa’och ’sparka’ är de vanligast förekommande i absolut reflexiva konstruktioner även i slaviska och baltiska språk. Lexikal semantik spelar följaktligen en viktig roll i utvidgningen av funktioner av reflexivmarkörer i dessa språk. Det finns en funktionell överlappning mellan reciproka verb och absolut reflexiv i alla språken i undersökningen, vilket resulterar i satser med två möjliga tolkningar: reciprok och antipassiv. En grammatikalisering av reflexivmarkörer från reciprok funktion till antipassiv funktion föreslås
