N2  - Women are often underrepresented in math-intensive fields like the physical sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. By comparison, boys relative to girls are less likely to strive for jobs in social and human-services domains. Relatively few studies have considered that intra-individual comparisons across domains may contribute to gendered occupational choices. This study examines whether girls’ and boys’ motivational beliefs in mathematics and language arts are predictive of their career plans in these fields. The study focusses on same domain and cross-domain effects and investigates bidirectional relations between motivational beliefs and career plans. Data for this study stem from 1,117 ninth and tenth graders (53.2% girls) from secondary schools in Berlin, Germany. Findings show systematic gender differences in samedomain effects in mathematics: girls’ comparatively lower mathematics self-concept and intrinsic value predicted a lower likelihood of striving for a math-related career. Crossdomain effects were not related to gender-specific career plans, with only one exception. Girls’ lower levels of intrinsic value in mathematics corresponded to a higher likelihood of striving for a career in language-related fields, which subsequently predicted lower levels of intrinsic value in mathematics. This finding points to a need to address both genderspecific motivational beliefs and gender-specific career plans in school when aiming to enhance more gender equality in girls’ and boys’ occupational choices.

T1  - Semiclassical asymptotics for the scattering amplitude in the presence of focal points at infinity
T1  - Semiklassische Asymptotik der Streuamplitude bei unendlich fernen Fokalpunkten
N2  - We consider scattering in $\R^n$, $n\ge 2$, described by the Schr\"odinger operator $P(h)=-h^2\Delta+V$, where $V$ is a short-range potential. With the aid of Maslov theory, we give a geometrical formula for the semiclassical asymptotics as $h\to 0$ of the scattering amplitude $f(\omega_-,\omega_+;\lambda,h)$ $\omega_+\neq\omega_-$) which remains valid in the presence of focal points at infinity (caustics). Crucial for this analysis are precise estimates on the asymptotics of the classical phase trajectories and the relationship between caustics in euclidean phase space and caustics at infinity.
N2  - Wir betrachten Streuung in $\R^n$, $n\ge 2$, beschrieben durch den Schr\"odinger operator $P(h)=-h^2\Delta+V$, wo $V$ ein kurzreichweitiges Potential ist. Mit Hilfe von Maslov Theorie erhalten wir eine geometrische Formel fuer die semiklassische Asymptotik ($h\to 0$) der Streuamplitude $f(\omega_-,\omega_+;\lambda,h)$ ($\omega_+\neq\omega_-$) welche auch bei Vorhandensein von Fokalpunkten bei Unendlich (Kaustiken) gueltig bleibt.
