The Protection of the Weaker Parties in the Platform Economy
2018
Known by many names – platform, sharing, peer-to-peer (p2p), collaborative economy, and so on - entirely new business models have emerged in recent years, whereby online platforms use digital technologies to connect distinct groups of users in order to facilitate transactions for the exchange of assets and services. This dramatic shift in business organisation and market structure has opened an intense debate on the persisting need for those regulatory measures that typically protect the weaker party in bilateral business-to-consumer transactions. Widespread calls for a more “levelled playing field” makes a strong argument for reconsidering the scope of regulation and delegating regulatory …
La tutela del contraente debole nella platform economy
2018
Negli ultimi anni si è affermato un nuovo modello di attività produttiva nel quale piattaforme digitali mettono in contatto gruppi interdipendenti di agenti economici per facilitare lo scambio di beni e l’erogazione di servizi. Dinanzi a questa trasformazione nell’organizzazione d’impresa, nel coordinamento del lavoro e nella struttura dei mercati, il diffuso appello a stabilire un “terreno di gioco neutrale” diviene la premessa per proporre la deregolamentazione di interi comparti economici valorizzando la capacità di autogoverno delle piattaforme. Mentre le reazioni a queste proposte sono confinate quasi esclusivamente alla questione del lavoro, è mancata finora un’analisi più generale de…
Quark gap equation within the analytic approach to QCD
2005
The compatibility between the QCD analytic invariant charge and chiral symmetry breaking is examined in detail. The coupling in question incorporates asymptotic freedom and infrared enhancement into a single expression, and contains only one adjustable parameter with dimension of mass. When inserted into the standard form of the quark gap-equation it gives rise to solutions displaying singular confining behavior at the origin. By relating these solutions to the pion decay constant, a rough estimate of about 880 MeV is obtained for the aforementioned mass-scale.
Thermal conductance of thin film YIG determined using Bayesian statistics
2015
Thin film YIG (${\mathrm{Y}}_{3}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$) is a prototypical material for experiments on thermally generated pure spin currents and the spin Seebeck effect. The $3\ensuremath{\omega}$ method is an established technique to measure the cross-plane thermal conductance of thin films, but cannot be used in YIG/GGG (${\mathrm{Ga}}_{3}{\mathrm{Gd}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$) systems in its standard form. We use two-dimensional modeling of heat transport and introduce a technique based on Bayesian statistics to evaluate measurement data taken from the $3\ensuremath{\omega}$ method. Our analysis method allows us to study material systems that have not been accessible with the c…
Dependence of single-particle energies on coupling constants of the nuclear energy density functional
2008
We show that single-particle energies in doubly magic nuclei depend almost linearly on the coupling constants of the nuclear energy density functional. Therefore, they can be very well characterized by the linear regression coefficients, which we calculate for the coupling constants of the standard Skyrme functional. We then use these regression coefficients to refit the coupling constants to experimental values of single-particle energies. We show that the obtained rms deviations from experimental data are still quite large, of the order of 1.1 MeV. This suggests that the current standard form of the Skyrme functional cannot ensure spectroscopic-quality description of single-particle energ…
Time-Dependent Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory
2012
In this chapter we will give an introduction into one-body reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT). This is a rather new method to deal with the quantum many-body problem. Especially the development of a time-dependent version, TDRDMFT , is very recent. Therefore, there are many open questions and the formalism has not crystalized yet into a standard form such as in (TD)DFT. Although RDMFT has similarities with DFT, there are many more differences. This chapter is too short for a full introduction into the wondrous world of RDMFT, but we hope to give an idea what (TD)RDMFT might bring.
