Abstract:
In industrialized economies such as the European countries unemployment rates are very responsive to the business cycle and significant shares stay unemployed for more than one year. To fight cyclical and long-term unemployment countries spend significant shares of their budget on Active Labor Market Policies (ALMP). To improve the allocation and design of ALMP it is essential for policy makers to have reliable evidence on the effectiveness of such programs available. Although the number of studies has been increased during the last decades, policy makers still lack evidence on innovative programs and for specific subgroups of the labor market. Using Germany as a case study, the dissertation aims at contributing in this way by providing new evidence on start-up subsidies, marginal employment and programs for youth unemployed. The idea behind start-up subsidies is to encourage unemployed individuals to exit unemployment by starting their own business. Those programs have compared to traditional programs of ALMP the advantage that not only the participant escapes unemployment but also might generate additional jobs for other individuals. Considering two distinct start-up subsidy programs, the dissertation adds three substantial aspects to the literature: First, the programs are effective in improving the employment and income situation of participants compared to non-participants in the long-run. Second, the analysis on effect heterogeneity reveals that the programs are particularly effective for disadvantaged groups in the labor market like low educated or low qualified individuals, and in regions with unfavorable economic conditions. Third, the analysis considers the effectiveness of start-up programs for women. Due to higher preferences for flexible working hours and limited part-time jobs, unemployed women often face more difficulties to integrate in dependent employment. It can be shown that start-up subsidy programs are very promising as unemployed women become self-employed which gives them more flexibility to reconcile work and family. Overall, the results suggest that the promotion of self-employment among the unemployed is a sensible strategy to fight unemployment by abolishing labor market barriers for disadvantaged groups and sustainably integrating those into the labor market. The next chapter of the dissertation considers the impact of marginal employment on labor market outcomes of the unemployed. Unemployed individuals in Germany are allowed to earn additional income during unemployment without suffering a reduction in their unemployment benefits. Those additional earnings are usually earned by taking up so-called marginal employment that is employment below a certain income level subject to reduced payroll taxes (also known as “mini-job”). The dissertation provides an empirical evaluation of the impact of marginal employment on unemployment duration and subsequent job quality. The results suggest that being marginal employed during unemployment has no significant effect on unemployment duration but extends employment duration. Moreover, it can be shown that taking up marginal employment is particularly effective for long-term unemployed, leading to higher job-finding probabilities and stronger job stability. It seems that mini-jobs can be an effective instrument to help long-term unemployed individuals to find (stable) jobs which is particularly interesting given the persistently high shares of long-term unemployed in European countries. Finally, the dissertation provides an empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of ALMP programs to improve labor market prospects of unemployed youth. Youth are generally considered a population at risk as they have lower search skills and little work experience compared to adults. This results in above-average turnover rates between jobs and unemployment for youth which is particularly sensitive to economic fluctuations. Therefore, countries spend significant resources on ALMP programs to fight youth unemployment. However, so far only little is known about the effectiveness of ALMP for unemployed youth and with respect to Germany no comprehensive quantitative analysis exists at all. Considering seven different ALMP programs, the results show an overall positive picture with respect to post-treatment employment probabilities for all measures under scrutiny except for job creation schemes. With respect to effect heterogeneity, it can be shown that almost all programs particularly improve the labor market prospects of youths with high levels of pretreatment schooling. Furthermore, youths who are assigned to the most successful employment measures have much better characteristics in terms of their pre-treatment employment chances compared to non-participants. Therefore, the program assignment process seems to favor individuals for whom the measures are most beneficial, indicating a lack of ALMP alternatives that could benefit low-educated youths.
Zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsmarktchancen arbeitsloser Personen und damit zur Bekämpfung von Arbeitslosigkeit werden innerhalb der Europäischen Union jedes Jahr beträchtliche Summen für Maßnahmen der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik (AAP) aufgewendet. Vor diesem Hintergrund ergibt sich die Frage nach der Effektivität dieser Programme. Obwohl in den vergangenen Jahren zahlreiche empirische Evaluationsstudien durchgeführt und hierdurch wesentliche Erkenntnisse über die Wirksamkeit von AAP gewonnen wurden, bestehen noch stets unerforschte bzw. nur unzureichend erforschte Bereiche, wie zum Beispiel für innovative Programme oder für Untergruppen am Arbeitsmarkt. Hierin liegt der Beitrag der Dissertationsschrift. Am Beispiel von Deutschland werden neue Erkenntnisse zur Wirksamkeit der Existenzgründungsförderung, der geringfügigen Beschäftigung sowie der Programme für arbeitslose Jugendliche geliefert. Mit Einführung des Existenzgründungszuschusses (Ich-AG) im Rahmen der Hartz-Reformen, standen gründungswilligen Arbeitslosen, zusammen mit dem bereits seit Mitte der Achtziger Jahre bekannten Überbrückungsgeld, zwischen 2003 und 2006 zwei Förderprogramme zur Verfügung. Beide Programme umfassen eine monetäre Förderung während der Gründungsphase, um arbeitslosen Personen den Weg in die berufliche Selbständigkeit zu erleichtern. Die Analyse der beiden Programme zeigt deutlich, dass die intendierten Ziele, d.h. die Verbesserung der Beschäftigungschancen sowie der Einkommenssituation der Teilnehmer, erreicht wurden. Es zeigt sich weiter, dass beide Programme insbesondere effektiv für benachteiligte Gruppen am Arbeitsmarkt, wie z.B. Geringqualifizierte, sowie in Regionen mit eher schlechten ökonomischen Bedingungen sind. Aber auch die getrennte Analyse für Frauen zieht eine positive Bilanz. Hier erweist sich die Förderung als besonders wirksam, da die berufliche Selbständigkeit (im Gegensatz zur abh. Beschäftigung) anscheinend eine bessere Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf ermöglicht. Abschließend lässt sich somit feststellen, dass die Förderung der beruflichen Selbständigkeit eine sinnvolle Strategie darstellt, da insbesondere bestehende Hürden für benachteiligte Gruppen am Arbeitsmarkt beseitigt und diese Personen langfristig in den Arbeitsmarkt integriert werden. Im nächsten Abschnitt der Dissertationsschrift wird die Aufnahme einer geringfügigen Beschäftigung während der Arbeitslosigkeit untersucht. In Deutschland können arbeitslose Personen bis zu 15 Stunden/Woche eine Beschäftigung aufnehmen, wobei ein Zuverdienst bis 165 Euro/Monat keine Auswirkung auf den Bezug von Arbeitslosengeld hat. Hierzu greifen arbeitslose Personen insbesondere auf die geringfügige Beschäftigung (genannt „Mini-Job“) zurück, da diese für die Arbeitslosen selbst abgabenfrei ist und Arbeitgeber nur einen reduzierten Beitrag zur Sozialversicherung sowie Einkommensteuer zahlen. Das erhöhte Einkommensniveau während der Arbeitslosigkeit sowie der enge Kontakt zum Arbeitsmarkt können unterschiedliche Wirkungen generieren. Es zeigt sich, dass die Aufnahme einer geringfügigen Beschäftigung grundsätzlich keinen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Arbeitslosigkeitsdauer hat, jedoch im Anschluss an die Arbeitslosigkeit zu längeren Beschäftigungsphasen führt. Die Untersuchung der Effektheterogenität zeigt, dass die geringfügige Beschäftigung während der Arbeitslosigkeit die Arbeitslosigkeitsdauer für Langzeitarbeitslose verkürzt und zu insgesamt stabileren Beschäftigungsphasen für diese Personengruppe führt. Das Ergebnis ist von hoher politischer Relevanz, da die Möglichkeit einer Zusatzbeschäftigung während der Arbeitslosigkeit anscheinend ein effektives Instrument zur Bekämpfung von Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit darstellt. Abschließend beschäftigt sich die Dissertationsschrift mit der Untersuchung der Effektivität von AAP zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsmarktchancen von arbeitslosen Jugendlichen. Jugendliche sind im Gegensatz zu Erwachsenen häufiger von Arbeitslosigkeit betroffen, da sie über geringere Such- bzw. Arbeitserfahrung verfügen. Die Bekämpfung von Jugendarbeitslosigkeit steht daher im Fokus der AAP. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es erstaunlich, dass bisher nur wenig über die Wirksamkeit von AAP für arbeitslose Jugendliche bekannt ist bzw. für Deutschland hierzu noch überhaupt keine Erkenntnisse existieren. Die Dissertationsschrift liefert nun erstmalig Evidenz zur Wirksamkeit von AAP für arbeitslose Jugendliche in Deutschland. Die untersuchten Programme (außer Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahmen) erhöhen die Beschäftigungswahrscheinlichkeit der Teilnehmer gegenüber den Nicht-Teilnehmern. Allerdings zeigt sich auch, dass arbeitslose Jugendliche ohne bzw. mit Hauptschulabschluss weniger von einer Programmteilnahme profitieren als Jugendliche mit einer höheren Schulbildung. Hier scheint noch Optimierungsbedarf zu bestehen, indem die Ausgestaltung der AAP stärker auf die Bedürfnisse von geringqualifizierten Jugendlichen eingehen sollte.

Abstract:
Les paires d'ions sont omniprésentes dans la nature, depuis l'eau de mer, les aérosols, jusqu'aux organismes vivants. Elles influencent les propriétés des solutions concentrées en ions, et jouent ainsi un rôle majeur dans divers réactions chimiques et processus biologiques. Cependant, la caractérisation des paires d’ions se heurte à une double difficulté : d'une part, plusieurs types de paires coexistent, et d'autre part, ce sont des espèces transitoires en solution. Dans ce contexte, ce travail présente plusieurs études menées selon trois axes de recherche principaux grâce à une approche originale en phase gazeuse, puis en solution. Le premier axe consiste à étudier les effets du champ électrique produit par la paire d’ions sur la spectroscopie d’un chromophore UV en phase gazeuse (effets Stark). Les groupes ioniques sont capables de produire un champ électrique suffisamment élevé pour induire des effets Stark électroniques significatifs sur un chromophore UV situé à proximité. Cette étude est menée sur des systèmes modèles de formule générale (C₆H₅-(CH₂)n₋COO⁻,M⁺) avec M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs et n = 1-3, permettant de faire varier le champ électrique ressenti par le chromophore UV. Ces différents systèmes sont étudiés en phase gazeuse par spectroscopie UV combinée à des calculs de chimie quantique, ainsi que par des expériences de spectroscopie IR sélective en conformation. Grâce à cette approche, des attributions conformationnelles précises peuvent être proposées pour des transitions électroniques séparées de quelques cm-1, sur la base de l’analyse des effets Stark observés sur le spectre UV, sans recourir à la spectroscopie IR, ni aux calculs de fréquences. Il s’agit ensuite de comprendre les effets d’environnement sur les paires d’ions par des expériences de microsolvatation en phase gazeuse. La paire d’ions d’acétate de sodium [CH₃-COO⁻,Na⁺] est étudiée pour la première fois dans un complexe trimère avec le p-xylène par spectroscopie IR. Des expériences de microhydratation sont ensuite réalisées sur des paires d’ions chargées ([CH₃-COO⁻,M²⁺] ; M = Ca, Ba), mettant en évidence deux comportements différents en fonction de la nature du dication. Les différentes expériences montrent que la signature IR du groupement carboxylate est sensible à son environnement proche, mais également à l’environnement du cation qui lui est apparié. Le dernier axe consiste à détecter et identifier les structures formées par les ions dans les solutions électrolytiques par spectroscopies IR et RX. Une première analyse est effectuée sur des solutions électrolytiques ([CH₃-COO⁻,M⁺] ; M = Li, Na et K) par spectroscopie IR-TF en variant la concentration en ions. Une étude théorique est ensuite réalisée dans l’objectif de proposer un spectre théorique pour chaque type de paires, et de les confronter aux spectres expérimentaux en solution. L’approche repose sur le calcul de la signature IR de paires ([CH₃-COO⁻,M⁺] ; M = Li, Na, K, Rb et Cs) et de l’anion libre, entourés successivement de molécules d’eau explicites décrites au niveau chimie quantique, puis au niveau champ de force et enfin par un modèle de solvant continu. Pour chaque type de paires, des familles spectroscopiques compatibles avec les données expérimentales sont identifiées. Cette approche originale ouvre la voie vers l’identification des structures supramoléculaires dans les solutions électrolytiques. Enfin, la première expérience FZRET en micro-jet liquide est réalisée sur une solution d’acétate de potassium, donnant accès à une mesure de la distribution des distances entre cations et anions appariés. Au cours de ces études, différentes méthodes sont employées allant de l’expérience à la théorie, de la phase gazeuse à la solution. Cette thèse illustre la nécessité de combiner plusieurs méthodes afin d’obtenir des données complémentaires permettant une meilleure caractérisation de l’organisation supramoléculaire des ions et de leur environnement
Ion pairs are ubiquitous in nature, from sea water, aerosols, to living organisms. They influence the properties of concentrated ion solutions, and thus play a crucial role in various chemical reactions and biological processes. However, the characterization of ion pairs faces some difficulties: on one hand, several types of pairs coexist, and on the other hand, they are transient species in solution. In this context, this work presents several studies carried out according to three main research studies, backed by an original approach in the gas phase, and then in solution. Firstly, the effects of the electric field produced by the ion pair on the UV spectroscopy of a chromophore in gas phase (Stark effects) are studied. The ion groups can produce an electric field high enough to induce significant electronic Stark effects on a nearby UV chromophore. This study is conducted on model systems (C₆H₅-(CH₂)n-COO⁻,M⁺) with M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and n = 1-3, allowing to vary the electric field experienced by the UV chromophore. These different systems are studied in the gas phase by UV spectroscopy combined with quantum chemistry calculations, as well as by conformation selective IR spectroscopy. Based on the analysis of the electronic Stark effects, precise conformational assignments can be proposed for electronic transitions separated by a few cm-1, without resorting to IR spectroscopy, or frequency calculations. The next study is focused mainly on understanding the environmental effects on ion pairs by microsolvation experiments in gas phase. The pair of sodium acetate ions [CH₃-COO⁻,Na⁺] is studied for the first time in a trimer complex with p-xylene by IR spectroscopy. Microhydration experiments are then carried out on charged ion pairs ([CH₃-COO⁻,M²⁺]; M = Ca, Ba), highlighting two different behaviours depending on the nature of the cation. The final research is to detect and identify the structures formed by the ions in electrolytic solutions by IR and RX spectroscopy. The first experiment is carried out on electrolytic solutions ([CH₃-COO⁻,M⁺]; M = Li, Na and K) by TF-IR spectroscopy by varying the ion concentration. A theoretical study is then carried out in order to propose a theoretical spectrum for each type of pair, and to confront them with experimental spectra in solution. The approach is based on the calculation of the IR signature of pairs ([CH₃-COO⁻,M⁺]; M = Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) and free anion in solution, where the first solvation layer were described at the quantum level, followed by a solvent continuum. For each type of pair, spectroscopic families, consistent with the experimental data, are identified. This original approach paves way to the identification of supramolecular structures in electrolytic solutions. Finally, the first FZRET experiment in liquid micro-jet is carried out on a potassium acetate solution, providing access to a measurement of the distance distribution between cations and paired anions.In these studies, different methods are used ranging from experiment to theory, from the gas phase to solution. This work illustrates the need to combine several methods in order to obtain additional data and allow a better characterization of the supramolecular organisation of ions and their environment

L'objectif de ce mémoire est de présenter une étude aussi complète que possible de l'effet Stark dans les molécules en général, et dans les molécules tétraédriques en particulier. Après une description du modèle de matrice 2*2 utilisé usuellement pour l'étude de l'effet Stark en champs électriques faibles, notamment pour la détermination des paramètres du moment dipolaire induit par la vibration et par la rotation de la molécule, nous présentons un modèle plus général adapté à des études en champs plus forts et incluant dans l'hamiltonien Stark aussi bien le moment dipolaire que la polarisabilité de la molécule. Nous avons également mis au point un modèle pour calculer les intensités des transitions infrarouges et Raman entre les niveaux d'énergie Stark. Avec ces modèles nous avons déterminé quelques paramètres du moment dipolaire induit des molécules SiF4 et SnH4. Nous avons également effectué des prédictions de spectres d'effet Stark linéaire et non linéaire, en fréquences et en intensités de la molécule SiF4. Ces prédictions sont comparées à des spectres expérimentaux. Enfin, nous avons procédé à une étude approfondie du modèle de l'hamiltonien Stark effectif, et montré que plusieurs jeux de paramètres cohérents du moment dipolaire et de la polarisabilité conduisent aux mêmes valeurs propres. Ceci met en évidence l'ambiguïté de l'hamiltonien Stark effectif. Par ailleurs, nous discutons la contribution de la polarisabilité dans l'effet Stark et des limites du modèle en champs forts

This research aims to obtain detailed knowledge on the effects of a period of high temperature on the accumulation of grain dry matter and endosperm starch, protein and B-glucan in the developing grain of the malting barley variety Schooner. Bbarley plants are exposed to high temperatures during mid grain filling for 5 days. Grain growth characteristics are measured prior to, during and following the high temperature period, with the aim of characterising the high temperature response in developing grain. The activities of several enzymes and metabolities of the pathway of starch synthesis are monitored and compared to those in grains maintained at a lower temperature. In addition, grain structure is also compared between control and heat treated grain during development, at maturity and following malting.

Abstract:
La photo-isomérisation par ouverture de cycle du benzopyrane a été étudiée à l'aide de la méthode MCTDH (Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree). Nous avons introduit différentes stratégies pour contrôler la conversion du benzopyrane en mérocyanine à l'aide d'impulsions laser. Nous avons utilisé un modèle pour le potentiel électronique à six dimensions développé dans le cadre d'un travail antérieur. Le modèle repose sur une généralisation des Hamiltoniens modèles standards pour les couplages vibroniques et utilise les six coordonnées les plus importantes pour le processus. Le principal objectif est de fournir des stratégies de contrôle qui pourront être utilisées par les expérimentateurs par la suite. Plus précisément, nous avons proposé: (i) une technique de type pompe-sonde pour contrôler la photostabilité, (ii) une stratégie en deux étape avec une préexcitation vibrationnel du système,(iii) une stratégie reposant sur un contrôle par effet Stark induit par un laser non-résonant
The ring-opening photoisomerization of benzopyran, which occurs via a photochemical route involving a conical intersection,has been studied with quantum dynamics calculations using the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree method (MCTDH). We introduce a mechanistic strategy to control the conversion of benzopyran to merocyanine with laser pulses. We use asix-dimensional model developed in a previous work for the potential energy surfaces (PES) based on an extension of thevibronic-coupling Hamiltonian model (diabatization method by ansatz), which depends on the most active degrees of freedom. The main objective of these quantum dynamics simulations is to provide a set of strategies that could help experimentalists tocontrol the photoreactivity vs. photostability ratio (selectivity). In this work we present:(i) a pump-dump technique used tocontrol the photostability, (ii) a two-step strategy to enhance the reactivity of the system: first, a pure vibrational excitation inthe electronic ground state that prepares the system and, second, an ultraviolet excitation that brings the system to the firstadiabatic electronic state; (iii) finally the effect of a non-resonant pulse (Stark effect) on the dynamics

Abstract:
Bei der theoretischen Beschreibung von spektroskopischen Experimenten wird in der Regel das Materiesystem quantenmechanisch beschrieben, während das Strahlungsfeld klassisch behandelt wird. Diese semiklassische Näherung ist zur Beschreibung von Experimenten, bei denen eine starke Kopplung zwischen dem Matriesystem und einzelnen Photonen besteht, nicht mehr gültig. Dies kann beispielsweise innerhalb eines optischen Resonators der Fall sein. In dieser Arbeit wird am Beispiel eines Pump-Test- Experiments zum Nachweis des optischen Stark-Effekts untersucht, welche zusätzlichen Effekte sich bei einer quantisierten Beschreibung des Strahlungsfeldes ergeben. Ein signifikanter Effekt ist, dass die Photonenstatistik des Pumpfeldes sich in der Linienform der verschobenen Resonanzlinie widerspiegelt. Weiter wurde in dieser Arbeit bei kleiner Pumpverstimmung ein Verstärkungseffekt gefunden, der ebenfalls auf der quantisierten Behandlung des Strahlungsfeldes beruht (nichtklassische Verstärkung). Es treten ferner bei grosseren Ensemblen von Zwei-Niveau -Systemen zusätzliche Unterstrukturen und Resonanzen auf. Auch kann der Nachweis des optischen Stark-Effekts Aufschluss über die Nichtdiagonalelemente bezüglich der Photonenzahl des quantisierten Pumpfeldes geben.Im Hinblick auf die Beschreibung komplexer Materiesystemen wurde in dieser Arbeit auch eine näherungsweise Berechnung der Testabsorption mit quantisiertem Strahlungsfeld im Rahmen einer Dichtematrixtheorie untersucht. Insbesondere war hier für die quantitative Beschreibung der nichtklassischen Verstärkung eine Berücksichtigung hoherer Korrelationen zwingend erforderlich. Auch wurden näherungsweise Entkopp- lungen unter Berücksichtigung der Erhaltungsgrossen durch- geführt. Die Dichtematrixtheorie wurde auf die Untersuchung des optischen Stark-Effektes an storstellengebundenen Exzitonen in Halbleitern angewandt. Da diese Resonanzen vergleichsweise kleine homogene und inhomogene Linienbreiten aufweisen,ist hier experimentell zu erwarten, dass sich feine Effekte des quantisierten Pumpfeldes bemerkbar machen konnen.
The theoretical description of spectroscopic experiments usu ally relies on a semiclassical approach where the matter system is described in terms of quantum mechanics while the radiation field is treated classically. This approach does n ot work well for systems with a strong coupling between the matter system and photons of the radiation field. The latter can be the case within an optical resonator.In this thesis, additional effects of a quantized radiation field are inves tigated on a pump-probe experiment for detecting the optical Stark effect. One significant effect is that the lineshape of the shifted resonance displays the photon statistics of the pump field. For small pump detuning probe gain results in a frequency regime where the semiclassical treatment predicts absorption. This effect is refered to nonclassical gain. For larger ensembles of two-level systems, additional substructures and resonances appear within the probe absorption spectrum. Also non- diagonal elements of the field density matrix can be detected in such an experiment. In order to describe a more complex matter systems, the optical Stark effect has been treated in terms of a density matrix approach with quantized radiation fields. For a quantitative description of nonclassical gain, higher correlation terms had to be treated properly. Moreover, conserved quantities were taken into account in approximate decouplings. The density matrix approach was applied to the description of the optical Stark effect on impurity-bound excitons in semiconductors. These systems are of high interest as their narrow resonances might allow the demonstration of fine effects of the quantized radiation field.

Nous presentons le developpement et l'etude d'un dispositif photorefractif a puits quantiques ainsi que les mecanismes physiques fondamentaux associes a ce type de composants. La structure de bande de type i pour les trous lourds et de type ii pour les trous legers permet une mesure precise du decalage de bande de valence de cdte/cd#. #7#2zn#0#. #3#8te egal a +11% 2%. Cette situation particuliere produit une degenerescence entre niveaux de trous lourds et trous legers. Dans les puits peu profonds, l'exciton leger est de type i grace au potentiel coulombien exerce par l'electron sur le trou leger. Sous champ electrique, nous mettons en evidence une transition type i-type ii de l'exciton leger. Lorsque l'energie de liaison de l'exciton augmente, la constante dielectrique et l'interaction des excitons avec le reseau diminuent. L'observation de complexes exciton-phonon a basse temperature et leur disparition progressive lorsque l'energie de liaison augmente est favorable a cette interpretation. Une absorption excitonique intense a temperature ambiante est cependant observee lorsque l'energie de liaison est proche ou superieure a l'energie des phonons optiques longitudinaux. En nous fondant sur ces resultats, nous avons developpe un dispositif photorefractif a partir d'une diode schottky et nous avons mesure un rendement de diffraction proche de la valeur theorique. Un maintien du reseau de diffraction inscrit de quelques microsecondes necessite un blocage des porteurs qui ecrantent localement le champ applique. L'introduction de barrieres de potentiel en cdmgznte bloquent efficacement le mouvement perpendiculaire des electrons. Un modele qualitatif et des simulations numeriques permettent de cerner le comportement dynamique du dispositif.

Abstract:
L'objectif de ce mémoire est de présenter une étude aussi complète que possible de l'effet Stark dans les toupies asymétriques de type X2Y4 possédant le groupe de symétrie D2h et de l'appliquer au problème de la spectroscopie de l'éthylène piégé dans une zéolithe. Pour la première fois, un formalisme tensoriel adapté à l'étude de l'effet Stark pour la chaine de groupes O(3) D2h a été développé. Parallèlement au développement du modèle théorique, des programmes informatiques ont été mis au point sous la forme d'une nouvelle génération de logiciel appelé D2hTDS-ST utilisant une base plus simple, permettant une économie en temps de calcul. Sur la base des outils théoriques et informatiques ainsi qu'à partir des spectres expérimentaux enregistrés au laboratoire, nous avons fait une première estimation de la valeur du champ électrique effectif moyen produit par la silicalite-1. Les valeurs du champ électrique obtenues avec notre méthode sont cohérentes avec les valeurs obtenues par les calculs ab initio PBE1PBE6-31++G(2d,2p).

Abstract:
Cette thèse propose une nouvelle théorie de l’effet Blazhko. Elle apporte également une justification théorique à certaines observations encore inexpliquées : la décroissance des harmoniques de la courbe de lumière ; l’asymétrie des enveloppes et des lobes ainsi que la variation des temps de montée et de descente dans le cas de l’effet Blazhko ; la synchronisation des couches et l’existence des trois types d’étoiles RR Lyrae : RRab, RRc et RRd. La première partie présente une étude extensive d’une étoile RR Lyrae avec effet Blazhko : S Arae. Nous débutons par une définition rigoureuse de l’analyse harmonique des courbes de lumière. Cette démarche, encore jamais entreprise en astéroséismologie, permet une meilleure interprétation des habituels résultats des études photométriques. Nous poursuivons avec une présentation du programme d’analyse fréquentielle que nous avons développé : PDM13. Nous établissons ensuite le spectre fréquentiel de la courbe de lumière de S Arae et, à la présentation des résultats de cette étude, nous apportons une démonstration mathématique à deux observations communément effectuées : la décroissance des harmoniques et l’asymétrie de modulation. Dans la deuxième partie, après un rappel des mécanismes d’oscillation, nous présentons une nouvelle modélisation discrète, et non linéaire, des équations de pulsations. Celle-ci nous permettra d’expliquer les phénomènes de synchronisation, mais surtout, conduira à une nouvelle théorie du phénomène Blazhko fondée sur l’existence de solitons, que nous étayerons par des premiers résultats, obtenus grâce à l’utilisation d’un nouvel outil : la transformée en ondelettes
In this thesis we develop a new theory of the Blazhko effect. We also provide a theoretical justification to the following commonly observed facts: the light curve harmonics decrease; the asymetry of envelopes and sidelobes ; the synchronization of layers and the mode selection. The first part of this thesis is dedicated to the extensive study of a RR Lyrae star presenting the Blazhko effect: S Arae. Firstly, a rigorous definition of harmonic analysis applied to light curves is given. This work, which has never been undertaken in the asteroseismology field, up to now, allows a better interpretation of the usual results of photometric studies. We carry on with the presentation of a software that we have developed, dedicated to frequency analysis: PDM13. After that, we perform the usual analysis of the frequency spectrum of the light curve, which we complete we two rigorous demonstrations of commonly observed facts: the harmonics decrease and the asymmetry induced by modulation. We complete it with a study of the parameters which vary during a Blazhko cycle, on which we will capitalize to understand this modulation effect. The second part begins with a reminder of the basic perturbed and linearized equations of stellar pulsation together with the oscillation mechanisms. We pursue this presentation with a non linear and discrete formalism that we have developed for these equations. This formalism will allow us to underline the importance of synchronization in those stars, but, most of all, it will lead us to a new theory of the Blazhko effect, based on solitons, which will be supported by a new results obtained with the wavelet transform method

Abstract:
Modern observations provide evidences that the ‘standard’ stellar evolution model is incomplete and should take into account ‘extra’-mixing processes. This dissertation is dedicated to an observational study of the Galactic red clump as well as to investigations of evolutionary effects in atmospheres of low-mass helium-core burning stars and evaluation of theoretical models of extra-mixing processes in interiors of stars. For this purpose, the high-resolution spectra of 62 Galactic red clump stars and 9 evolved stars of the old open cluster NGC 7789 have been analysed and the main atmospheric parameters and chemical compositions were determined. The investigation confirmed the hypothesis that clump stars of the Galaxy are relatively young objects, reflecting mainly the near–solar metallicities developed in the local disk during the last few billion years of its history. Mixing induced carbon and nitrogen abundance modifications in the Galactic clump stars were investigated. The clump stars can be divided into distinct evolutionary groups using the 12C/13C criterion. The carbon isotope ratios of the Galactic clump stars are consistent with the Cool Bottom Processing (CBP) extra-mixing model; the Thermohaline extra-mixing model needs to be complemented in order to agree with observational data. The carbon isotope ratios in the NGC 7789 stars indicate a larger extra–mixing than it is foreseen by theoretical models.
Šiuolaikiniai astronominiai stebėjimai leidžia įtarti, kad „standartinis“ žvaigždžių evoliucijos modelis yra nepilnas ir turi būti patikslintas, įvedant „papildomą“ maišymąsi. Disertacija yra skirta Galaktikos raudonosios sankaupos žvaigždžių cheminės sudėties tyrimui ir maišymosi procesų sukeltų cheminės sudėties pokyčių mažos masės žvaigždžių atmosferose tyrimui bei papildomo maišymosi teorinių modelių įvertinimui. Tam tikslui buvo gauti ir ištirti 62-jų Galaktikos raudonosios sankaupos žvaigždžių ir 9 padrikojo spiečiaus NGC 7789 žvaigždžių didelės skiriamosios gebos spektrai, nustatyti žvaigždžių pagrindiniai parametrai ir cheminė sudėtis. Tyrimas patvirtino hipotezę, kad Galaktikos sankaupos žvaigždės yra santykinai jauni Saulės metalingumo objektai, susiformavę per pastaruosius keletą milijardų metų. Tirtose žvaigždėse buvo įvertintos maišymosi procesų pasekmėje pasikeitusių anglies ir azoto gausų vertės. Pademonstruota, kad sankaupos žvaigždės gali būti išskirtos į skirtingas evoliucines grupes pagal 12C/13C kriterijų. Nustatyta, kad anglies izotopų santykių vertes Galaktikos sankaupos žvaigždžių atmosferose gerai aprašo šaltojo žemutinių sluoksnių papildomo maišymosi modelis, tuo tarpu termohalinio papildomo maišymosi modelis turi būti papildytas, kad sutaptų su visais stebėjimų rezultatais. Nustatyta, kad anglies izotopų santykiai spiečiaus žvaigždėse yra labiau paveikti maišymosi procesų nei numato dabartiniai teoriniai žvaigždžių evoliucijos modeliai.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l'étude de l'émissivité et de l'opacité dans les plasmas de fusion inertielle (FCI), et des processus atomiques dans les plasmas de fusion magnétique (FCM).En FCI, nous avons étudié les spectres d'émissivité du hohlraum de l'approche indirecte et d'opacité des dopants de l'ablateur. Leur connaissance permet d'améliorer la compression de la cible de D-T et ainsi favoriser les réactions de fusion. Nous avons caractérisé les spectres lié-lié de l'or, du carbone et du germanium au moyen de méthodes détaillées (code PPP) mais qui s'avèrent coûteuses en temps de calculs et limitées quand le nombre de niveaux/ions augmente. Pour optimiser le temps de calcul sans perdre en précision, une méthode hybride détaillée/statistique (code SCO-RCG) a fait l'objet de comparaison/validation avec le code PPP sur des cas tests. Cette approche a ensuite été appliquée au calcul de l'opacité totale (lié-lié, lié-libre, libre-libre) pour tous les états d'ionisation du germanium et du silicium. Les spectres obtenus sont ensuite comparés dans une large gamme d'énergies en vue d'optimiser la compression de la cible.En FCM, à partir d'expériences effectuées sur les tokamaks Tore Supra (CEA Cadarache) et ASDEX Upgrade (Max Planck Institut, Garching), nous nous proposons de développer une nouvelle base de données de physique atomique (sections efficaces, taux des processus,...) à l'aide du code HULLAC pour analyser des coefficients de transport. Le but de cette étude est la sensibilité aux données atomiques de la reconstruction des coefficients de transport par le code ITC. Pour le cas de l'argon, les sections efficaces de quelques processus sont présentées et les coefficients de taux sont comparés à ceux provenant du consortium ADAS.

Abstract:
Paper discusses the expected uncertainty of orbital parameters of binary stars as measured by the space-based gravitational wave observatory LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) and how the inclusion of spin in the model of the binary stars affects the uncertainty. The uncertainties are found by calculating the received gravitational wave from a binary pair and then performing a linear least-squares parameter estimation. The case of a 1500 solar mass black hole that is 20 years from coalescing with a 1000 solar mass black hole--both of which are 50 x 10^6 light years away--is analyzed, and the results show that the inclusion of spin has a negligible effect upon the angular resolution of LISA but can increase the accuracy in mass and distance measurements by factors of 15 and 65, respectively.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 2005.

A ten channel Motional Stark Effect diagnostic has been installed on Alcator C-Mod to measure the plasma internal magnetic pitch angle profile. The C-Mod MSE measures the local electric field direction by measuring the polarization angle of Balmer-[alpha] n=2) emission from a radially injected hydrogen Diagnostic Neutral Beam (50 keV, 5 A, 50 ms). The Lorentz electric field (EL = v ) and the magnetic field cause the nominally fully degenerate Balmer-[alpha] to split into a partially degenerate multiplet whose components are polarized relative to the local fields. Through careful spectral filtering, MSE measures the polarization angle of select multiplet components using a photoelastic modulator based polarimeter. Investigation of hydrogenic Balmer-[alpha] transitions in crossed E and B fields typical of MSE has led to the discovery of new features of the Stark-Zeeman Balmer-[alpha] multiplet. Three different transitions are found for this EB = ( ... ) configuration. In the regime where the Stark effect dominates over the Zeeman effect, transitions polarize parallel to E, B, or ... with ellipticity a function of the beam velocity. More important for MSE diagnostics is the discovery that multiplet lines (summed over degenerate transitions) will be observed to be orthogonally polarized only for statistical (i.e. equally) upper hybrid state populations.
(cont.) This contradicts the pure Stark case that is typically assumed for MSE, where Stark- lines are always observed to be orthogonal to Stark-[pi] lines. Non-statistical upper hybrid states populations are expected in certain situations including the propagation of beam neutrals through neutral gas, which is often used to calibrate MSE diagnostics in situ. Implementation of MSE on C-Mod required significant optical and optomechanical engineering. Satisfying MSE viewing geometry requirements for a radial beam on C-Mod resulted in an extended periscope inside the vacuum vessel. A successful design with robust performance against disruption accelerations, fatigue, creep, thermal stresses, and impact while being vacuum compatible has been developed for mounting the necessary polarization preserving optics. Full Stokes polarimeter modeling and calibration has been performed for the C-Mod MSE. An invessel apparatus has been constructed that is capable of generating pure, linearly polarized light absolutely aligned (to gravity) at arbitrary angles,circularly polarized light, as well as unpolarized light. This device has been used in situ to measure the MSE response to all possible Stokes vectors. Results have been compared to a Mueller matrix model of MSE including real geometry and one imperfect mirror with an arbitrary s&p phase shift and s&p reflectivity ratio.
(cont.) Geometric and optical properties of MSE have been deduced by matching measured responses with modeled responses. A method for concurrently measuring the PEM retardances has been developed as part of this effort. A complementary calibration technique using DNB injection into a gas-filled torus with known fields capable of measuring in situ optical Faraday rotation was also performed. Results show possible molecular deuterium contamination arising from the fill gas used in the calibration. MSE polarization measurements displayed discrepancies of over 20 with expected values from a vacuum field reconstruction. Motivated by spectral observations, an inclusion of Zeeman polarized D2 molecular emission reconciled measured and modeled values of the linear angle and polarization fraction. Observed on-linearities in angular response and the strong viewing geometry dependency are also reproduced in the model when Zeeman polarized D2 emission is included. Experiments testing this hypothesis are proposed. Pitch angle measurements in plasmas show that MSE has statistical uncertainties of 0.4 for all but the edge channel up to plasma densities of ne = 1.5 x 1020 m-3. This is insufficient to explain remaining discrepancies with magnetic reconstruction results at the plasma edge. While Faraday rotation and PEM retardance changes could play a role, these instrumental effects are also insufficient. Radial electric fields and beam induced charge exchange emission have been suggested as causes for errors in MSE measurements of plasma.

Abstract:
Sprinters are always looking for an improvement in their time, from the gun going off until the finish. An effective start can lead to reaching top velocity sooner and a decreased finish time. New developments in starting blocks, more specifically the width of the starting block pedal, has allowed for variation in foot placement in the blocks. With the ability to change how wide an athlete can place their feet in the blocks, this study looked at trying to find an optimum spacing for college level sprinters. Thirteen Male College Sprinters (mean age = 23.08 years) participated in this study. Subjects self selected their longitudinal block spacing with 3 different lateral positions being tested. In position 1, the feet were placed as narrow as was allowed by the starting block, simulating the width of a traditional set of blocks. Position 2 was defined by the hip width of the individual, distance between right ASIS to left ASIS. Position 3 was the preferred foot width of the subject as determined by completing a vertical jump. Measurements of peak force on the blocks at the time of the start as well as time to 10 m were taken. Neither peak force nor time to 10 m were different between conditions (p = .887, p = .135). The normal condition, position 1 (20cm), was measured to be the narrowest width with position 3 (mean = 37.6cm) being the widest in all subjects. The use of wider pedals on starting blocks is a fairly new idea in track and field, and is something that many athletes have not had the chance to practice with. Since the older style of starting blocks only allowed for a narrow stance that is what track athletes have become accustomed to and could possibly explain why there was no significant difference seen between the 3 starting positions. More research should be done after a time of adaptation to the new starting blocks by the athletes.

Full text
Abstract:
The effects of an applied bias in the longitudinal or growth direction on four In$\sb{\rm x}$Ga$\sb{\rm 1-x}$As-GaAs strained single quantum wells and three strained layer superlattices have been studied using photocurrent and electroreflectance spectroscopy at liquid helium temperature. Weak applied electric fields on the quantum well samples gives rise to a red quadratic shift to the lowest interband transition between the first confined electron (E1) and heavy-hole (H1) levels, the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE). The magnitude of the QCSE increases with well width. This field dependence becomes subquadratic at high applied fields due to carrier accumulation on the low energy side of the wells. Superlattices with relatively small periods, i.e. 10 nm, exhibit interwell coupling giving rise to a miniband structure under flatband conditions. The application of an electric field removes the interwell coupling giving rise to a ladder like progression in energy for the interband transition energies, called Wannier Stark ladders. The measured exciton transition energies follow a linear field dependence given by the product of the Stark ladder index, the superlattice period, and the electric field. The low field behaviour is more complex due to the Coulomb interaction between the electrons and heavy-holes. The measured field dependent exciton transition energies for the quantum wells agree well with single particle model calculations, while for the superlattice samples the exciton Stark ladder calculations of Dignam and Sipe have yielded good agreement with the measured data.

Nous montrons que l’état sombre Au(nπ∗) joue un rôle important dans la dynamique de la molécule après photo-excitation. Un modèle simplifié à deux états et quatre modes a été utilisé pour étudier le contrôle par laser de la dynamique de la pyrazine photo-excitée. Nous proposons un mécanisme visant à augmenter la durée de vie de l’état B2u(ππ∗) en utilisant l’effet Stark induit par une impulsion laser intense non-résonante
The central subject of this thesis is the theoretical description of ultrafast dynamical processes in molecular systems of chemical interest and of their control by laser pulses. We first use electronic structure calculations to study the photochemistry of aniline. A umber of previously unknown features of the potential energy surfaces of the low-lying elec-tronic states are reported, and analyzed in relation with the experimental results available. We use quantum dynamics simulations, based on a model Hamiltonian including the four lowest excited electronic states and sixteen vibrational modes, to investigate the photochem-istry of pyrazine. We show that the dark Au(nπ∗) state plays an important role in the ultrafast dynamics of the molecule after photoexcitation. The laser control of the excited state dynamics of pyrazine is studied using a simplified two-state four-mode model Hamiltonian. We propose a control mechanism to enhance the lifetime of the bright B2u(ππ∗) state using the Stark effect induced by a strong non-resonant laser pulse. We finally focus on the laser control of the tunneling dynamics of the NHD2 molecule, using accurate full-dimensional potential energy and dipole moment surfaces. We use simple effective Hamiltonians to explore the effect of the laser parameters on the dynamics and design suitable laser fields to achieve the control. These laser fields are then used in MCTDH quantum dynamics simulations. Both enhancement and suppression of tunneling are achieved in our model

Full text
Abstract:
Functional heterojunctions in organic electronic devices are interfaces formed either between a conducting electrode and an organic semiconductor or between two different organic semiconductors in blended and multilayered structures. This thesis is primarily concerned with the energy level alignment and the interfacial electronic structures at functional heterojunctions encountered in electronic devices made with solution-processable semiconducting polymers. Investigations on the electronic structures across these heterointerfaces are performed with the combined use of electromodulation and photoemission spectroscopic techniques. Electromodulation and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopic techniques enable direct determination of the surface work functions of electrodes at the electrode/semiconducting polymer interfaces. We overcame the inherent problems faced by electromodulation spectroscopy, which undermine accurate determination of interfacial electronic structures, by performing electroabsorption (EA) measurements at reduced temperatures. We showed in this thesis that low-temperature EA spectroscopy is a surface sensitive technique that can determine the interface electronic structures in electrode/polymer semiconductor/electrode diodes. Using this technique, we demonstrated that the energy level alignments in these solution-processed organic electronic devices are determined by the surface work functions of passivated metals rather than by those of clean metals encountered in ultrahigh vacuum. This thesis also discloses our studies on the electronic structures in polymeric diodes with type II donor-acceptor heterojunctions using the EA spectroscopy. We showed that minimising meausurement temperature and attenuating EA illumination intensity enable accurate determinations of the electronic structures in these devices. We demonstrated that the electronic structures and the performance characteristics of multilayered polymer light-emitting diodes are also determined by the surface work functions of passivated metals. Our investigations confirm that electronic doping of the organic active layers, rather than minimisation of the Schottky barriers at electrode/polymer contacts, holds the key in realising high-performance organic light-emitting devices.

Abstract:
Past ultraviolet and optical observations of stars hosting close-in Jupiter-mass planets have shown that some of these stars present an anomalously low chromospheric activity, significantly below the basal level. For the hot Jupiter planet host WASP-13, observations have shown that the apparent lack of activity is possibly caused by absorption from the intervening interstellar medium (ISM). Inspired by this result, we study the effect of ISM absorption on activity measurements (S and log R'(HK) indices) for main-sequence late-type stars. To this end, we employ synthetic stellar photospheric spectra combined with varying amounts of chromospheric emission and ISM absorption. We present the effect of ISM absorption on activity measurements by varying several instrumental (spectral resolution), stellar (projected rotational velocity, effective temperature, and chromospheric emission flux), and ISM parameters (relative velocity between stellar and ISM Ca II lines, broadening b-parameter, and Ca II column density). We find that for relative velocities between the stellar and ISM lines smaller than 30-40 km s(-1) and for ISM Ca II column densities log N-CaII greater than or similar to 12, the ISM absorption has a significant influence on activity measurements. Direct measurements and three dimensional maps of the Galactic ISM absorption indicate that an ISM Ca II column density of log N-CaII = 12 is typically reached by a distance of about 100 pc along most sight lines. In particular, for a Sun-like star lying at a distance greater than 100 pc, we expect a depression (bias) in the log R'(HK) value larger than 0.05-0.1 dex, about the same size as the typical measurement and calibration uncertainties on this parameter. This work shows that the bias introduced by ISM absorption must always be considered when measuring activity for stars lying beyond 100 pc. We also consider the effect of multiple ISM absorption components. We discuss the relevance of this result for exoplanet studies and revise the latest results on stellar activity versus planet surface gravity correlation. We finally describe methods with which it would be possible to account for ISM absorption in activity measurements and provide a code to roughly estimate the magnitude of the bias. Correcting for the ISM absorption bias may allow one to identify the origin of the anomaly in the activity measured for some planet-hosting stars.

Abstract:
Neste trabalho determinamos a estrutura dos níveis dos estados quase-ligados e virtuais em sistemas de poços quânticos acoplados de AlGaAs-GaAs na presença de um campo elétrico externo (Voltagem) perpendicular às camadas semicondutoras. As heteroestruturas de AlGaAs-GaAs são modeladas por um conjunto de poços quânticos de potencial unidimensionais. Utilizamos a aproximação de função envelope que reduz o problema à solução usual da Equação de Schroedinger de massa efetiva. Os níveis eletrônicos são então determinados utilizando a solução exata da Eq. de Schroedinger em termos das funções de Airy nos poços e barreiras e um formalismo de Matriz de Iteração com Análise de \"Phase-shift\". Nossos resultados estão em boa concordância com resultados experimentais de transições ópticas. Motivados pelas propriedades singulares dos sistemas de dupla barreira, investigamos o tunelamento ressonante de elétrons através de multi-barreiras e a formação de regiões de resistência negativa na curva característica de corrente X voltagem. Para os processos de tunelamento em multi-barreiras determinamos o Coeficiente de Transmissão, como função da energia do elétron incidente, usando o formalismo de Matriz de Iteração. Este método pode ser bastante útil na interpretação de resultados experimentais nestes dispositivos. Calculamos também a densidade de corrente de tunelamento versus a voltagem aplicada no caso de dupla barreira de modo a interpretar recentes resultados experimentais.
In this work the quasi-bound and virtual levels of both electrons and holes are determined in the case of coupled AlxGa1-xAs-GaAs quantum wells in the presence of an external electric (Voltage) perpendicular to the layers. The heterostructures field of AlxGa1-xAs-GaAs are mimicked by a set of unidimensional quantum well potentials. We employ the envelope function approximation and solve the usual effective mass Schrödinger Equation. The electronic levels are then determined by using the exact solution of Schrödinger Eq. in terms of Airy functions into the wells and barriers and an Iteraction Matrix formalism with the Phase-shift method. Our results are in a good agreement with the experimental results of optical measurements. Motivated by the unusual properties of double-barriers devices we investigated the resonant tunneling of electrons through multi-barriers. The transmission Coefficient as a function of energy of the incident electron is determined by using an Interaction Matrix formalism. This method can be very useful in the interpretation of experimental results in semiconductor devices. We also calculate the tunneling current density as a function of applied voltage in the case of a double-barrier in order to interpret recent experimental results.

Abstract:
Ce travail de thèse porte sur l'étude des propriétés optiques et électroniques des puits quantiques de GaN / AlGaN grâce à des techniques classiques de réflectivité résolue en angle et de photoluminescence, ainsi qu'avec la technique de photoluminescence résolue temporellement. Les expériences de photoluminescence en régime continu ont permis d'estimer les énergies des transitions excitoniques qui sont également accessibles en réflectivité. Ces techniques ont ainsi permis de mettre en évidence l'effet Stark dans les puits quantiques GaN / AlGaN. L'effet Stark sur les énergies de transition est cohérent avec la théorie des fonctions enveloppes. Les spectres de réflectivité permettent d'accéder à la force d'oscillateur des excitons grâce à leur modélisation par le formalisme des matrices de transfert, prenant en compte les phénomènes d'élargissement homogène et inhomogènes des transitions optiques. Enfin, les mesures de photoluminescence résolue en temps en fonction de la température, ont également permis d'extraire la force d'oscillateur qui est inversement proportionnelle au temps de recombinaison radiative. Cette étude a également permis de mettre en évidence l'effet Stark responsable de la diminution de la force d'oscillateur en fonction de l'épaisseur du puits quantique mais aussi en fonction de la composition d'aluminium. L'augmentation de l'épaisseur du puits entraîne une diminution du recouvrement des fonctions d'onde, et une augmentation de la composition d'aluminium intensifie le champ électrique et diminue également le recouvrement des fonctions d'onde.

Abstract:
Specific enzymes have been used to improve flour quality for bread but enzyme action in tortilla flour has not been investigated. Two different wheat flours were prepared into tortillas using laboratory-scale, commercial equipment with fixed processing parameters. Dough and tortilla properties were evaluated using subjective and objective methods. Tortillas were stored in plastic bags at 22°C for evaluation. The effects of nine enzymes (amyloglucosidase 1, amyloglucosidase 2, bacterial 1, bacterial 2, fungal, maltogenic 1, maltogenic 2, malted barley and xylanase) on quality of wheat flour tortillas were evaluated. Dough absorption was adjusted to attain uniform dough for tortillas. Enzyme addition to tortilla flour did not significantly affect tortilla weight, moisture and pH. Bacterial 2 amylase extended shelf stability while maltogenic 1 and xylanase exhibited smaller improvements in shelf stability and other tortilla properties. Addition of 0.05 activity unit bacterial 2 amylase improved tortilla diameter and improved tortilla shelf life from 12 to 28 days. Maltogenic 1 at 280 ppm improved tortilla diameter, opacity and shelf life. Addition of 100 ppm of xylanase effectively improved tortilla diameter and shelf life. Bacterial 1 amylase at 60 ppm improved tortilla diameter but did not improve shelf stability. Amyloglucosidase 2, maltogenic 2 and malted barley amylase did not improve tortilla quality at any of the evaluated levels. Amyloglucosidase 1 and fungal amylase reduced overall tortilla quality at all the evaluated levels. Bread-making quality of wheat flour is correlated with the damaged starch present in the flour. Damage was induced by grinding the samples for 0, 1, 4 and 8 hr to determine the effects of starch damage on tortilla quality. Processing increased starch damage of control tortilla flour from 5.4% to 12.6%. Damage starch increased dough water absorption, toughness and press rating and reduced diameter and opacity of tortillas. Damage starch improved tortilla rollability at higher levels but did not improve tortilla properties in combination with bacterial 2 amylase. Overall tortilla quality was not improved due to additional starch damage. Improved tortilla quality using bacterial 2 amylase at very low levels could be commercialized.

Abstract:
Pour observer les transitions d'Ar II issues de niveaux de grande énergie d'excitation, et pour obtenir des températures et des densités d'électrons libres les plus importantes possibles, nous avons observé la zone cathodique d'un arc électrique de 200A éclatant à pression atmosphérique dans l'argon pur. Le diagnostic spectroscopique de cette zone [température sur l'axe de l'ordre de T-22000K, densité électronique de Ne-2. 10(?)] a montré qu'elle était caractérisée par d'importantes variations du coefficient maximum d'émission de la raie a=6965A d'Ar I. Cet effet peut être correctement expliqué par l'existence d'un fort gradient de pression au sein même du plasma, ou par une importante dépopulation des niveaux d'Ar I par rapport à l'ETL. Nous avons enregistré plus de 90 raies issues de niveaux et de configurations différentes sur une trentaine de cordes de la colonne de plasma (observations Side-on). Les probabilités de transitions et les élargissements Stark, obtenus souvent pour la première fois, sont tout à fait cohérents avec les résultats déjà publiés, et fournissent en ensemble parmi les plus complets qui existent à ce jour.

Abstract:
The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS, LaParo, Pianta, & Stuhlman, 2004) assesses quality of teacher social and instructional interactions with children, and classroom management and productivity. Prior research indicated low quality of feedback scores in programs serving low-income children (Early et al., 2005). The purpose of this study was to compare the quantity and quality of managing interaction utterances (i.e. a type of feedback) provided by Head Start teachers (N = 8) in two classroom contexts. Video-recorded book-reading and 20-minute center-time sessions in the fall and spring of a school year were used to assess managing interaction utterances in structured (book-reading) and unstructured (center-time) contexts. A coding system was developed to classify managing interaction utterances by statement type. Statements were coded as “do” commands, “don’t” commands, negative comments, general praise (good job), or labeled praise (Good job sharing your toys). Command utterances were also coded for purpose as managing behaviors (not directly related to academic learning) or teaching behaviors (guide child in academic learning). Results indicated there was a higher quantity of managing interaction utterances in center time than book reading. In addition, there was a higher quality of managing interaction utterances in center time. This finding was demonstrated through a greater rpm of “do” commands, general praise, and overall developmentally appropriate statements (“do” commands, general praise, and labeled praise) in center time than book reading. Analyses of purpose revealed center time commands were used to manage and teach the children, whereas in book reading commands only had a managing function; however, this trend failed to reach significance. The differences in quantity and quality of classroom management statements across contexts indicate within-group variation of instruction as a function of context. Thus, teachers may benefit from context-specific training sessions.
