Weak Decays of Heavy-Light Mesons on the Lattice: Semi-Leptonic Formfactors
We report results (on an intermediate statistics sample) of a study of weak
semi-leptonic formfactors of and decays, addressing the uncertainties
from mass extrapolations to chiral and to heavy quarks. Moreover, we present a
nonperturbative test to the LMK current renormalization scheme for vector
current {\it transition} matrix elements and find remarkable agreement.Comment: 13 pages, uuencoded, updated table
Semileptonic Decays of D and B Mesons
We report results of our ongoing investigation concerning semileptonic decays
of heavy pseudoscalar mesons into pseudoscalar and vector mesons. Particular
attention is paid to uncertainties in the and the heavy quark mass
dependence of formfactors. Moreover we present a non-perturbative test to the
LMK current renormalization scheme for vector current transition matrix
elements and find remarkable agreement.Comment: 3 pages, uuencoded, contribution to Lat 9
The Al Gamma-ray Line from Massive-Star Regions
The measurement of gamma rays from the diffuse afterglow of radioactivity
originating in massive-star nucleosynthesis is considered a laboratory for
testing models, when specific stellar groups are investigated, at known
distance and with well-constrained stellar population. Regions which have been
exploited for such studies include Cygnus, Carina, Orion, and
Scorpius-Centaurus. The Orion region hosts the Orion OB1 association and its
subgroups at about 450~pc distance. We report the detection of Al gamma
rays from this region with INTEGRAL/SPI.Comment: Contribution to Symposium "Nuclei in the Cosmos XIV", Niigata, Japan,

Semileptonic Decays of Heavy Mesons: A Status Report
We present intermediate results on our ongoing investigation concerning
semileptonic decays of heavy pseudoscalar mesons into pseudoscalar and vector
mesons. The corresponding formfactors are evaluated at several momenta and
appropriate combinations of four light and four heavy quarks, which are chosen
to allow for an extrapolation into the B Meson region. In order to obtain clear
groundstate signals we apply gauge invariant ``Wuppertal'' smearing to the
quarks. The analysis is based on 32 quenched gauge configurations of size at , with Wilson fermions.Comment: 3 pages, uuencoded, contribution to Lat 9
Beautiful Baryons from Lattice QCD
We perform a lattice study of heavy baryons, containing one () or
two -quarks (). Using the quenched approximation we obtain for the
mass of
The mass splitting between the and the B-meson is found to increase
by about 20\% if the light quark mass is varied from the chiral limit to the
strange quark mass.Comment: 11 pages, Figures obtained upon request from [email protected]
Light Spectrum and Decay Constants in Full QCD with Wilson Fermions
We present results from an analysis of the light spectrum and the decay
constants f_{\pi} and f_V^{-1} in Full QCD with n_f=2 Wilson fermions at a
coupling of beta=5.6 on a 16^3x32 lattice.Comment: 3 pages, LaTeX with 4 eps figures, Talk presented at

A Bayesian framework for verification and recalibration of ensemble forecasts: How uncertain is NAO predictability?
Predictability estimates of ensemble prediction systems are uncertain due to
limited numbers of past forecasts and observations. To account for such
uncertainty, this paper proposes a Bayesian inferential framework that provides
a simple 6-parameter representation of ensemble forecasting systems and the
corresponding observations. The framework is probabilistic, and thus allows for
quantifying uncertainty in predictability measures such as correlation skill
and signal-to-noise ratios. It also provides a natural way to produce
recalibrated probabilistic predictions from uncalibrated ensembles forecasts.
The framework is used to address important questions concerning the skill of
winter hindcasts of the North Atlantic Oscillation for 1992-2011 issued by the
Met Office GloSea5 climate prediction system. Although there is much
uncertainty in the correlation between ensemble mean and observations, there is
strong evidence of skill: the 95% credible interval of the correlation
coefficient of [0.19,0.68] does not overlap zero. There is also strong evidence
that the forecasts are not exchangeable with the observations: With over 99%
certainty, the signal-to-noise ratio of the forecasts is smaller than the
signal-to-noise ratio of the observations, which suggests that raw forecasts
should not be taken as representative scenarios of the observations. Forecast
recalibration is thus required, which can be coherently addressed within the
proposed framework.Comment: 36 pages, 10 figure
Die Zukunft der Werbung im Ländervergleich
Welche Werbeformen und formate werden im internationalen Vergleich am häufigsten eingesetzt? Wie unterscheidet sich in ausgesuchten Ländern die Gesamtsituation der Werbung und wie wird sie sich entwickeln? Ist personalisierte Online-Werbung die Werbung der Zukunft oder werden die Werbegelder auch künftig noch in klassische Medien investiert?
Das Buch untersucht die aktuelle Situation und die Entwicklung der Werbung in ausgewählten Ländern auf Basis der I/P-Matrix sowie anhand von Strukturdaten und explorativen Experteninterviews. Daraus entsteht ein Gesamteindruck davon, wie sich Werbung in Australien, China, Deutschland, Indien, Italien, Österreich, Russland, Schweden, der Schweiz, Thailand, den USA und UK aktuell präsentiert und welche Entwicklungslinien sich für die Werbung in diesen Ländern abzeichnen
