In dieser Studie wurde das Verhalten eines neuentwickelten Hartmetallfinierers der Firma Brasseler und herkömmlicher grober und feiner Diamantfinierer der Firmen Intensiv und Brasseler an vier verschiedenen Füllungsmaterialien untersucht. Bei dem Hartmetallfinierer handelt es sich um ein Kombinationsinstrument, das sich im Rechtslauf durch eine hohe Arbeitsleistung auszeichnet und zum Konturieren von Füllungen gedacht ist. Im Linkslauf soll das Instrument zur Feinausarbeitung eingesetzt werden, die Arbeitsleistung ist geringer. In 120 extrahierte menschliche Zähne wurden ovale Klasse-V-Kavitäten (Länge: 4 mm, Breite: 3 mm, Tiefe: 2 mm) präpariert, die jeweils zur Hälfte im Schmelz und Dentin lagen. Jeweils 30 Zähne wurden nach Herstellerangaben mit demselben Füllungsmaterial gefüllt (Prodigy, Silux Plus, Dyract AP, Fuji LC). Anschließend wurden die Restaurationen zunächst mit den gröberen Finierdiamanten und dem Kombifinierer im Rechtslauf konturiert. Jeweils 10 Proben eines jeden Füllungsmaterials wurden mit einem der Instrumente bearbeitet. Auf diese Weise ergaben sich 12 Material-Instrumenten-Kombinationen. Nach dreiwöchiger Wasserlagerung wurde die Rauhigkeit der Füllungsoberflächen mit einem Profilometer gemessen. Außerdem erfolgte eine Auswertung der Randqualität mittels quantitativer Randanalyse. Im Anschluß hieran wurden die Füllungen mit den feineren Diamantinstrumenten bzw. dem Kombifinierer im Linkslauf finiert. Die Füllungen wurden anschließend einer Temperaturwechselbelastung unterzogen (2000 Zyklen zwischen 5°C und 55°C). Erneut erfolgte eine quantitative Randanalyse und eine Oberflächenrauhigkeitsmessung. Die statistische Auswertung der Daten ergab, daß der Kombifinierer im Linkslauf im Gegensatz zu den feinen Diamantfinierern keine Verbesserung der Oberflächenqualität bewirkt. Die Auswirkungen der Instrumente auf die Randqualität ist gleich. Fuji LC weist die höchste Oberflächenrauhigkeit auf. Die übrigen Füllungsmaterialien unterscheiden sich diesbezüglich nicht statistisch signifikant voneinander. Die Silux Plus Restaurationen zeichnen sich durch einen im Vergleich zu den übrigen Materialien hohen Anteil an Randspalten sowohl im Dentin- als auch im Schmelzbereich aus. Die Prodigy Füllungen haben signifikant mehr Randspalten im Dentin als Fuji LC und Dyract AP Füllungen, jedoch auch signifikant weniger als Silux Plus im gleichen Bereich. / In this study a newly developed tungsten carbide finishing bur (Brasseler) and conventional coarse and fine grit finishing diamonds of the companies Intensiv and Brasseler were studied with four different filling-materials. The carbide bur is a combination-instrument, that distinguishes itself in the right-hand rotation by a high performance and is intended for the contouring of fillings. When used in a left-hand rotation the instrument should be applied for polishing. In this case the cutting performance is inferior. Oval class-V-cavities (length: 4 mm, width: 3 mm, depth: 2 mm) were prepared into 120 extracted human teeth with one half of the margin length in dentin and one half in enamel. In each case, 30 teeth were filled according to manufacturer-recommendation with the same filling-material (Prodigy, Silux Plus, Dyract AP, Fuji LC). Subsequently the restorations were trimmed with the coarser finishing diamonds and the combination bur with a right-hand rotation. Ten samples of each filling-material were ground with one of the instruments. Thus 12 material-instrument-combinations were established. After three weeks of water-storage, the surface roughness of the fillings was measured with a profilometer. Furthermore, an evaluation of the margin-quality was carried out by means of quantitative margin analysis. After this, the fillings were either polished with the finer diamond-instruments or with the combination-instrument in a left-hand rotation. Afterwards the samples were subjected to a thermocycling procedure (2000 cycles between 5°C and 55°C). Again a quantitative margin analysis and a surface-roughness-measurement were performed. In contrast to the fine diamond instruments, the statistical evaluation of the data revealed that the combination finishing bur does not improve the surface quality in a left-hand rotation. The effect of the instruments on the margin quality is the same. Fuji LC shows the highest surface-roughness, the other filling-materials do not differ statistically significantly from one another. The Silux Plus restorations are characterized by a high percentage of marginal openings in both enamel and dentin. The Prodigy fillings show significantly more marginal gaps in dentin than Fuji LC and Dyract AP fillings, but significantly less than Silux Plus in the same area.

中國大陸進行改革開放以來，已成為外資的主要投資地區，在上海證券交易所及深圳證券交易所掛牌的股票市值，近年來於世界交易所組織的排名有顯著的上升。而中國大陸在2010年3月31日推出的有價證券融資融券制度（又稱信用交易），雖然在先進的證券市場中，融資融券係成熟的交易制度，但在中國大陸推出後卻產生交易量極不活絡、無券可融、控管過嚴等問題。 本文嘗試著先行介紹融資融券交易的沿革、定義、美國及台灣管理的模式，進而剖析探討中國大陸融資融券交易的開戶條件、證券商資格標準、有價證券得為融資融券標準、保證金帳戶制度、擬籌設的證券金融公司制度、風險管理制度、賣空監管制度、融資融券之法律關係等，作為本文之主軸。 全文共分五章，除於第一章說明本文之研究動機與目的、研究範圍與內容外，分別介紹證券市場信用交易之概述、中國大陸信用交易法令規範、融資融券交易之法律行為及實務作業探討，作為第二章至第四章之內容，最後於第五章提出檢討及建議，俾作為中國大陸融資融券交易法制之研究。 / Using the comparative law approach and the economics ananysis of law approach, this thesis studied securities law of margin trading in Mainland China. The margin trading mechanism was established in the Article 142 Securities Act 2005, and began on 31st Jan. 2010. This thesis first studied the definition, history and structure of margin trading. Then, by deploying economic analysis of law approach, it studied the margin trading rules of U.S, Taiwan and Mainland China in a comparatively way. Material issues were researched in the thesis: cash account, margin account, initial margin requirements, minimum maintenance requirements, securities lending, securities financing corporations, segregation of customer’s securities, short sale regulations, and guarantees. Based on above, this thesis reviewed the margin trading rules in Mainland China through legal, administrative, and market aspects. Finally, we proposed reform suggestions of the margin trading rules in Mainland China.

Grapheme-to-phoneme conversion (G2P) is the task of converting a word, represented by a sequence of graphemes, to its pronunciation, represented by a sequence of phonemes. The G2P task plays a crucial role in speech synthesis systems, and is an important part of other applications, including spelling correction and speech-to-speech machine translation. G2P conversion is a complex task, for which a number of diverse solutions have been proposed. In general, the problem is challenging because the source string does not unambiguously specify the target representation. In addition, the training data include only example word pairs without the structural information of subword alignments. In this thesis, I introduce several novel approaches for G2P conversion. My contributions can be categorized into (1) new alignment models and (2) new output generation models. With respect to alignment models, I present techniques including many-to-many alignment, phonetic-based alignment, alignment by integer linear programing and alignment-by-aggregation. Many-to-many alignment is designed to replace the one-to-one alignment that has been used almost exclusively in the past. The new many-to-many alignments are more precise and accurate in expressing grapheme-phoneme relationships. The other proposed alignment approaches attempt to advance the training method beyond the use of Expectation-Maximization (EM). With respect to generation models, I first describe a framework for integrating many-to-many alignments and language models for grapheme classification. I then propose joint processing for G2P using online discriminative training. I integrate a generative joint n-gram model into the discriminative framework. Finally, I apply the proposed G2P systems to name transliteration generation and mining tasks. Experiments show that the proposed system achieves state-of-the-art performance in both the G2P and name transliteration tasks.

<p>Many hydrocarbon reservoirs are situated in barren sequences that display poor stratigraphic control. Correlation between the wells can become extremely difficult and traditional correlation techniques can prove to be inadequate. Past studies have shown that trace and major element concentrations can be used as a correlation tool. This practice of using geochemical fingerprints to characterize between wells is called Chemostratigraphic analysis. (Pearce et al, 1999) Chemostratigraphy has been recognized as a very important correlation technique as it can be used for rocks of any age, in any geological setting as well as sequences that are traditionally defined as barren. Chemostratigraphic analyses can be used as a means of getting rid of ambiguities within data produced by traditional correlation methods such as Biostratigraphy, Lithostratigraphy and Geophysical Logging. In areas where stratigraphic data is not available it can be used to construct correlation frameworks for the sequences found in the area. The motivation behind this study is that the research is not only worthy of academic investigation, but can also provide the industry with new insights into areas that were previously misunderstood because traditional correlation methods were not adequate. The study area, the Orange basin, is located offshore South Africa and is largely underexplored. The basin, that hosts two gas field namely the Ibhubesi and the Kudu gas fields, has large potential but in the past has not been given due attention with only 34 wells being drilled in the area. The Orange basin has recently been the topic of investigation because of the belief that it may be hosts to more hydrocarbons. This study will utilise Chemostratigraphy to attempt to provide geological information on this relatively under-explored basin. The aim of this research study is to produce a chemostratigraphic framework -scheme for the Orange Basin in order to facilitate reservoir scale interwell correlation. The Objectives of this research study will be to identify chemostratigraphic units or indices, to prove the adequate use of chemostratigraphy as an independent correlation technique and to integrate the chemostratigraphy and petrophysical characteristics of the four wells to facilitate lithological identification.</p>

Ever since the first plate-tectonic model for the Appalachians was proposed, the Laurentian margin has been interpreted as having experienced a collision-related dynamo-thermal event during the Middle Ordovician Taconic orogeny. In the western Newfoundland Appalachians, evidence for this collision is well-preserved in the Dashwoods subzone. Nevertheless, rocks of the neighbouring Corner Brook Lake block (CBLB), which is located in the heart of the Laurentian realm, did not show evidence for such an event. Instead, it was affected by Early Silurian Salinic deformation and associated peak metamorphism. Even though this difference in Early Palaeozoic tectonic history between the Dashwoods and the CBLB is widely known, it has not been satisfactorily explained. To better understand the Early Palaeozoic history of the region, in particular to test and better explain the lack of a Taconic dynamo-thermal event in the CBLB, field mapping, microscopic work, and U-Pb and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological studies were undertaken in the western and northern part of the Dashwoods subzone, and in the southern part of the CBLB. In addition, the kinematic history of the Baie Verte-Brompton Line - Cabot Fault Zone (BCZ), the tectonic zone that separates the two unique tectonic fragments, was studied. The western and northern parts of the Dashwoods subzone contain variably foliated igneous units of Middle Ordovician age (ca. 460 Ma) that are associated with the regionally voluminous Notre Dame continental arc. A ca. 455 Ma conjugate set of late syn-tectonic pegmatite dykes in the BCZ demonstrates a dextral sense of shear along the BCZ (DBCZ-1) during the Late Ordovician to earliest Silurian, and constrains the minimum age of the main phase of ductile deformation in the Dashwoods subzone. The fault-bounded CBLB has been affected by a single west-vergent deformational event, constrained between ca. 434 and ca. 427 Ma. More importantly, no evidence – neither petrographic nor geochronological – is present that would indicate that the CBLB was affected by a significant Taconic dynamo-thermal event. Hence, the CBLB and Dashwoods could not have been juxtaposed until after the late Early Silurian. Furthermore, the basement to the CBLB is devoid of any Grenville (sensu lato; ca. 1.0-1.3 Ga) U-Pb ages, which is in sharp contrast with crystalline basement elsewhere in the region, such as the Long Range Inlier. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the CBLB represents the para-autochthonous leading edge of the Laurentian craton in the Newfoundland Appalachians, as commonly accepted. The CBLB is interpreted as a suspect terrane that has moved over 500 km parallel to the strike of the orogen. Docking to the external Humber Zone is likely to have occurred during the Early Silurian. Final juxtaposition with the Dashwoods took place after the late Early Silurian (post-Salinic) as a result of protracted dextral movement along the BCZ (DBCZ-2 and DBCZ-5). Current tectonic models for the Newfoundland Appalachians mainly focus on well-documented Early Palaeozoic orthogonal convergence of various terranes with the Laurentian margin, but large-scale orogen-parallel movements have rarely been considered. The possibility of large-scale strike-slip tectonics documented here, in addition to the convergent motions, may have significant implications for the tectonic interpretation of the Early Palaeozoic evolution of the Newfoundland Appalachians.

This bachelor thesis examines and models the emissions of carbon dioxide equivalents of the composition of automobiles in Sweden 2012. The report will be based on three scenarios of electricity valuation principles, which are a snapshot perspective, a retrospective perspective and a future perspective. The snapshot perspective includes high and low values for electricity on the margin, the retrospective perspective includes Nordic and European electricity mix and the future perspective includes electricity on the margin for modest and high climate goals at 2030. The study is applied to an upcoming climate smart district, Brunnshög in Lund, and the goal is to determine the amount of emissions of carbon dioxide equivalents for the mentioned alternatives. The environmental effects depends largely on the fuel consumption for the compared types of cars and what electricity valuation principle that is used. The car fleet of 2012 generated 10 300 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. The future car fleet generated 400 tonnes of emissions for Nordic electricity mix, 3 200 tonnes for European electricity mix, 3 100 tonnes for electricity on the margin with low values, 5 800 tonnes for electricity on the margin with high values, 1 200 tonnes for electricity on the margin at 2030 for high climate goals and 4 600 tonnes for electricity on the margin at 2030 for modest climate goals. The emissions of carbon dioxide equivalents are at least halved in Brunnshög if 100 % electric cars are used instead of the composition of petrol, diesel and ethanol cars that are primarily used in Sweden 2012. Hence, the result shows that the electric car is very beneficial from an environmental and health perspective, compared to the composition of cars in Sweden 2012. However, how beneficial the electric car is, largely depends on the fuel consumption for both the electric car and the alternative compared with. Although to be able to increase the use of electric cars there are many challenges that need to be dealt with. In order to increase the use of electric cars, it will require further work in the development of batteries, expansion of charging points and other incentives, such as legislation and investments. It will also require a significant technology development to increase the range of the electric car. A natural step in the transition phase could be plug-in hybrids. It is also important to continue to implement climate smart districts, such as Brunnshög in Lund.

Syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att förklara vad som är den främst avgörande faktorn vid privatkundens val av marginalbank, genom att jämföra med demografiska variabler samt hur deras val kan användas vid segmentering. Dessutom vill vi titta på vilka typer av banker privatkunder har. Metod: För att nå fram till resultat för analysen har ett positivistiskt angreppssätt och en deduktiv ansats använts. Det empiriska materialet är baserat på en enkätundersökning gjord på personer i Hässleholm och Ängelholm. Datainsamlingen har sedan analyserats med hjälp av korstabeller. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Studien utgår ifrån tidigare forskning inom området som har använts för att kunna upptäcka faktorer som kan förklara vårt syfte. Resultat:  Analysen visade att vid val av marginalbanker värdesätts faktorer så som bra pris på varor i butik samt bonuscheckar. Vad som också framkom är att vid segmentering av kunder bör bankerna, enligt reslutat från denna uppsats, använda sig av differentierad marknadsföring vid segmentering av kunder. / Purpose: The aim of this study is to explain what the cardinal factor is when clients choose their marginbank by comparing demographic variables and how their choice can be used in segmentation. Method: To reach results for the analysis a positivistic approach and a deductive projection have been used. The research is based on a survey studying people in Hässleholm and Ängelholm. The collected data has been analyzed using crosstabs. Theoretical perspective: This study is based on previous research within the area that have been used to identify factors that can explain the aim of this research. Conclusion: The analysis resulted in a conclusion showing that when private clients choose their margin bank great offers and bonuschecks matters. It also showed that banks, based on this paper, should use differentiated marketing when segmenting their customers.
