Ordered Chaos: the Negotiation of Space in Deconstructivist Museum Buildings

Within this paper I focus on the use of Deconstructivism in Architecture, specifically in a museum setting. I ask if the use of Deconstruction in a museum\u27s design has any effect on how the museum sets up its objects and displays, and if these displays have any effect on the perception of the objects within the museum. I also have found that the use of Deconstructivism is reflective of the shifting purpose in the museum, and the attitudes towards the museum as a cultural institution

An epep collider based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration

Recent simulations have shown that a high-energy proton bunch can excite strong plasma wakefields and accelerate a bunch of electrons to the energy frontier in a single stage of acceleration. This scheme could lead to a future $ep$ collider using the LHC for the proton beam and a compact electron accelerator of length 170 m, producing electrons of energy up to 100 GeV. The parameters of such a collider are discussed as well as conceptual layouts within the CERN accelerator complex. The physics of plasma wakefield acceleration will also be introduced, with the AWAKE experiment, a proof of principle demonstration of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration, briefly reviewed, as well as the physics possibilities of such an $ep$ collider.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the DIS 2014 Workshop, 28 April - 2 May, Warsaw, Polan

Collider design issues based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration

Recent simulations have shown that a high-energy proton bunch can excite strong plasma wakefields and accelerate a bunch of electrons to the energy frontier in a single stage of acceleration. It therefore paves the way towards a compact future collider design using the proton beams from existing high-energy proton machines, e.g. Tevatron or the LHC. This paper addresses some key issues in designing a compact electron-positron linear collider and an electron-proton collider based on existing CERN accelerator infrastructure

Determining the Complex Permittivity of Building Dielectric Materials using a Propagation Constant Measurement

This paper presents a technique to determine the Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the building dielectric materials using propagation constant measurements. The material sample is loaded in an X-band (8.5GHz-12.5GHz) rectangular waveguide and its two port S-parameters are measured as a function of frequency using a Vector Network Analyzer without TRL Calibration. The results obtained from samples of dielectric materials  (Air, Cellular concrete and  Wood)  on  the  X-band  frequencies show  the  validity  of  the  proposed technique to determine the complex permittivity of the building dielectric materials on the X-band frequencies

Gibt es strukturelle Korruption im deutschen Ge-sundheitswesen?

Das deutsche Gesundheitswesen setzt erhebliche Finanzmittel ein, um für alle Versicherten eine hochwertige und allgemein zugängliche Gesundheitsversorgung sicherzustellen. Die Komplexität des Gesundheitssystems hat jedoch eine Intransparenz zur Folge, die mannigfaltige Gelegenheiten für Manipulation und Korruption bietet. Der Beitrag untersucht, ob der Begriff der Korruption dazu geeignet ist, bestimmte institutionelle und strukturelle Fehlentwicklungen im Gesundheitswesen zu analysieren und der ethischen Bewertung zuzuführen. Dies wird am Beispiel der Maßnahmen diskutiert, mit denen Krankenkassen den Risikostrukturausgleich zu ihren Gunsten beeinflussen. Das Ziel ist einerseits, einen sozialethisch relevanten Korruptionsbegriff zu erarbeiten, andererseits zu erörtern, ob das Gesundheitswesen in Deutschland von struktureller Korruption betroffen ist.The German health system uses considerable financial resources to ensure high-quality and generally accessible health care for all insured persons. However, the complexity of the health care system results in a lack of transparency, which offers many opportunities for manipulation and corruption. The paper examines whether the concept of corruption is suitable for analyzing certain institutionally and structurally undesirabledevelopments in the health care system, and to what extent these can be ethically assessed on its basis. This is discussed using the example of activities with which health insurance companies influence risk structure compensation in their favour. The aim is, on the one hand, to develop a social-ethically relevant concept of corruption and, on the other hand, to discuss whether the German health care system is affected by structural corruption
