Slope development reconstruction at two sites in the Bohemian Forest Mountains

Although the Bohemian Forest is generally considered to be geomorphologically a rather stable region, there are localities which bear proof of a surprisingly high intensity of recent and even present day processes. A multidisciplinary methodology based on the analysis of slope systems was used for researching the present and past dynamics of two hillslopes. Using the results of direct dilatometric monitoring (the slow creep of rock blocks reached a maximum of 1 mm year−1), GPS field mapping, sedimentology, geodetic measurements and DEM analyses, several common rules have been observed for the behaviour of two model localities and a likely polycyclic development established, with recurrence of mass-wasting cycles related to material supply thresholds. Radiometric dating of debris flow activity showed that the cycles span approximately 4000 years. In this area of rather stable bedrock conditions, at least two factors that decrease slope stability need to act together to activate slope processes: i.e. a favourable structural predisposition (dip of major joint or bedding planes) and an increase in relief through either glaciation or river incision.

Semantic complex event processing model for reasoning research activities

With recent developments in science and technology, numerous researchers around the world are producing a variety of science- and technology-related documents such as research papers and patents in order to share and further develop their respective research. In particular, the spread of social network services is allowing researchers in science and technology to share and develop their latest technologies at a fast rate. In the era of Big Data, there are increasing needs for a system that can infer analytical information about the research activities of such researchers, but no system that satisfies the requirements exists at the moment. Therefore, this study proposes a sematic complex event processing model for reasoning. The study then details an architecture in which such analytics is processed on a real-time basis in a distributed environment. With this architecture, researchers can easily monitor their individual research activities in an up to date manner and use such analytical data as a basis to set their future research directions.
A frequency adaptive single-phase Phase-Locked Loop with harmonic rejection

An improved Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for extracting phase and frequency of the fundamental component of a highly distorted grid voltage is presented. The structure of the single-phase PLL is based on the Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) PLL and uses an All Pass Filter (APF) to generate the quadrature component from the single phase input voltage. In order to filter the harmonic content, a Moving Average Filter (MAF) is used, and performance is improved by designing a lead compensator and also a feed-forward compensator. The simulation results are compared to show the improved performance with feed-forward. In addition, the frequency dependency of MAF is dealt with by a proposed method for adaption to the frequency. This method changes the window size based on the frequency on a sample-by-sample basis. By using this method, the speed of resizing can be reduced in order to decrease the output ripples caused by window size variations.
Bananas and petrol: further evidence on the forecasting accuracy of the ABS ‘headline’ and ‘underlying’ rates of inflation

In the light of the topical nature of ‘bananas and petrol’ being blamed for driving much of the inflationary pressures in Australia during 2006, the ‘headline’ and ‘underlying’ rates of inflation are scrutinised in terms of forecasting accuracy. A general structural time-series modelling strategy is then employed to estimate models for both types of Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures. From this, out-of-sample forecasts are generated from the various models. The underlying forecasts are subsequently adjusted to facilitate comparison to the headline forecasts. Having completed that, the Ashley, Granger and Schmalensee (1980) AGS test is performed to find out if there is a statistically significant difference between the root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the two models. The results lend weight to the recent findings of Song (2005), insofar that forecasting models using underlying rates are not systematically inferior to those based on the headline rate of inflation. In fact, strong evidence is found that underlying measures produce superior forecasts.
Abstract P313: Poor Cardiovascular Health Knowledge despite the Rising Epidemic of Cardiovascular Diseases: findings from a peri-urban Nepalese community

Nepal, a low-income South Asian country, is facing a growing epidemic of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Information on how well its population knows about the underlying risk factors and possible prevention and control strategies is an important determinant in tackling the epidemic. Studies indicate Nepalese people have poor knowledge regarding cardiovascular health, for example, about symptoms of heart attack or diabetes. We conducted a study on cardiovascular health literacy in a peri-urban area near Kathmandu and tested the hypothesis that better cardiovascular health knowledge is associated with superior cardiovascular health behaviour. For this cross-sectional study, we conducted face-to-face interviews with 777 consenting adults aged 25-59 years from six randomly sampled clusters of Duwakot and Jhaukhel communities between September and November 2011. We used WHO-STEPs questionnaire to gather information on demographic, behavioural and anthropometric variables. Additionally, we did a thorough literature search to construct questions on cardiovascular health knowledge and attitude. Scores were given to knowledge, attitude and behaviour/practice components which were then aggregated to calculate composite median percent scores. Five categories from highest to lowest quintiles of median percent scores were then generated. Seventy percent of the respondents were females- out of which two-thirds were housewives, and a third was without formal education. A fifth of the 229 male respondents were doing agriculture-based work. When asked to spontaneously name the risk factors, respondents showed low overall knowledge- ranging from 1% for diabetes and 29% for smoking. Sixty percent of them did not know any heart attack symptom. Chest pain as a heart attack sign was known only to 14% of the respondents. Nonetheless, 86% of them thought heart diseases could be prevented by improving lifestyles. However, 65% of men and 54% of women did not want to change their lifestyle as they did not consider themselves to be at risk. Further, among those with highest knowledge quintile score, only 14.7% had highest attitude quintile score, and only 13.4% had highest behaviour quintile score. Likewise, among those with lowest knowledge quintile score, 26% had lowest attitude quintile score, and 16.4% had lowest behaviour quintile score. In conclusion, despite the rising burden of cardiovascular epidemic in Nepal, population-level knowledge on cardiovascular health is still poor. Further, better knowledge did not necessarily translate into superior cardiovascular health behaviour. Therefore, community-based interventions that improve all the three components should be promoted rather than those which influence only the knowledge aspect.
A Preliminary Neuroimaging Study of Preschool Children with ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder that, by current definition, has onset prior to age 7 years. MRI studies have provided some insight into brain differences associated with ADHD, but thus far have almost exclusively focused on children ages 7 years and older. To better understand the neurobiological development of ADHD, cortical and subcortical brain development should be systematically examined in younger children presenting with symptoms of the disorder. High-resolution anatomical (MPRAGE) images, acquired on a 3.0T scanner, were analyzed in a total of 26 preschoolers, ages 4-5 years (13 with ADHD, 13 controls, matched on age and sex). The ADHD sample was diagnosed using DSM-IV criteria, and screened for language disorders. Cortical regions were delineated and measured using automated methods in Freesurfer; basal ganglia structures were manually delineated. Children with ADHD showed significantly reduced caudate volumes bilaterally; in contrast there were no significant group differences in cortical volume or thickness in this age range. After controlling for age and total cerebral volume, left caudate volume was a significant predictor of hyperactive/impulsive, but not inattentive symptom severity. Anomalous basal ganglia, particularly caudate, development appears to play an important role among children presenting with early onset symptoms of ADHD.
Low-Power spin-wave-based computing

Downscaling of Si-based microprocessors has considerably increased the amount of heating in computers and other information and communication technology (ICT) devices. As a result, computer servers in big data centres waste more than 90% of the electricity they pull off the grid. High-density electrical currents in microprocessors and interconnects cause excessive warm-up via an effect known as Joule heating. To fulfil future requirements for data transmission and processing rates with low energy consumption, a paradigm shift away from purely charge-based electronics is needed. Recently, post-Si computing with collective spin wave excitations in tailored magnets has been identified as a promising route. Spin waves are transmitted through a magnetic material without the displacement of electric charges (i.e. currents), thus drastically reducing energy consumption and heating. We recently demonstrated that short-wavelength spin waves can be emitted and manipulated by small voltage pulses in ferroelectric-ferromagnetic bilayers. In the ERC PoC project we will use our results to realise an industrially relevant integrated spin wave computing device.
Geschichte, Emotionen und die Macht der Bilder

Abstract What role do emotions play in historiography and, above all, in public history? Do they block objective analysis? Or do they open up new perspectives and possibilities of knowledge? Accompanying the ongoing history boom, there has been much dispute among historians on these issues. Supporters of both opposing sides argue in unison, however, that the visual media in particular enable what they perceive as an emotionalization of history. The article examines which conceptions of emotions and which assumptions related to the power of visual media underlie their argument. Rethinking these premises helps us to reframe the central hypothesis and develop adequate tools of analysis.
Rapid microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of morphology-tuned MnO2 nanocrystals and their electrocatalytic activities for oxygen reduction

Abstract A rapid and facile microwave-assisted hydrothermal route has been developed to synthesize MnO2 nanocrystals with exquisitely tuned structures/morphologies by reducing potassium permanganate in the presence of hydrochloric acid. δ-MnO2 microspheres, α-MnO2 nanorods, γ-MnO2 nanosheets and β-MnO2 octahedrons have been obtained with 0.05, 0.10, 0.25 and 0.75 mL HCl (37 wt%), respectively. More importantly, γ-MnO2 nanosheets and β-MnO2 octahedrons were prepared for the first time by a one-step microwave-assisted method. The electrocatalytic activities of the synthesized MnO2 in KOH solution have been determined by cyclic voltammetry and the results show that all manganese dioxides can catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline medium with different catalytic activities. α-MnO2 nanorods appear to hold the highest catalytic activity due to their crystal phase/morphology with appropriate oxygen adsorption mode.
Developing theatre: building expert networks for theatre in emerging countries after 1945

This research project proposes a fundamental re-examination of the historiography of theatre in emerging countries after 1945 . It investigates the institutional factors that led to the emergence of professional theatre in the post-war period throughout the decolonizing world. The particular focus will be on the massive involvement of internationally coordinated ‘development’ and ‘modernization’ programs both East and West. The project will introduce the concepts of epistemic community, expert networks and techno-politics to theatre historical research as a means to historicize theatre within transnational and transcultural paradigms and examine its imbrication in globalization processes. This institutional and transnational approach will enable theatre studies to overcome its still strong national and local focus on plays and productions and connect it to current discourses on transnational history. 
The main objectives of this project are to:
• examine how a global ‘epistemic community’ centred around theatre emerged in the post-war period; 
• investigate how ‘expert networks’ composed of government bodies, private foundations, transnational corporate philanthropy, local elites and individual artists sought to institutionalize particular forms and practices of professional theatre as an interconnected, transnational phenomenon; 
• develop a new interdisciplinary approach to theatre historiography by focusing on institutional structures, path dependencies and transnational imbrications rather than on works and authors.
The principal investigator will bring to this project two decades of internationally recognized research into intercultural and global theatre. With its combination of institutional historiography and innovative research methods the project will provide a new foundation for current discussions of cultural policy and sustainability in emerging societies.
Persistent challenge with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Haemonchus contortus larvae does not affect growth of meat-breed lambs suppressively treated with anthelmintics when grazing

This experiment tested the hypothesis that persistent challenge with anthelmintic susceptible Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Haemonchus contortus larvae would not affect growth of grazing, meat-breed lambs when suppressively treated with anthelmintics. The experiment was a 2×2 factorial design using 6-7 months old White Suffolk X Border Leicester/Merino (meat-breed) lambs which were either infected with 2000 T. colubriformis and 300 H. contortus L3/week (IF) or remained uninfected (UIF) for 9 weeks and were either treated (TX) with a combination of short and long-acting anthelmintics or remained untreated (UTX). Lambs grazed as one flock and were rotated between paddocks to avoid autoinfection from pasture. Lambs were humanely euthanised on day 63 and the abomasum and small intestine collected to determine total worm burdens and tissue antibody response specific to T. colubriformis. As expected, worm egg count (WEC) and worm burden were significantly higher in IF UTX lambs (p<0.001). WEC was dominated by H. contortus and peaked at 2,325 epg on day 63 but remained at zero for the other treatment groups for the duration of the experiment. Tissue antibody responses were evident in IF lambs (titres; 9982 vs 2767, p=0.012) but treatment had no effect (titres; 5912 vs 5349, p=0.829). Lambs grew an average of 2.6 kg during the experiment with no difference between IF TX and UIF TX groups (p=0.432). Elevated tissue antibody responses were not associated with differences in growth. Results from this experiment support the hypothesis that persistent larval challenge with anthelmintic susceptible H. contortus and T. colubriformis will not affect growth of grazing, meat-breed lambs when suppressively treated with effective anthelmintics. Therefore the use of sheep suppressively treated with effective anthelmintics appears to be a valid substitute for gastrointestinal nematode-free lambs in field experiments.

Kinetics of Thermal Decomposition and Kinetics of Substitution Reaction of Nano Uranyl Schiff Base Complexes

This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and kinetics of substitution reaction of new uranyl Schiff base complexes prepared in a crystalline state as well as in a form of nanoparticles with sizes ranging between 35 and 60 nm. Preliminary Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric (TG) measurements indicated no difference between the two forms. The compounds were characterized by UV–vis, 1H NMR, cyclic voltammetry, X-ray crystallography, FTIR, TG, and CHN analyses. X-ray crystallography revealed coordination of the uranyl by the tetradentate Schiff base ligand and one solvent molecule, resulting in seven-coordinated uranium. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes in acetonitrile revealed the quasi-reversible redox reaction. The TG and analysis of Coats–Redfern plots revealed that the kinetics of thermal decomposition of the complexes is of the first order in all stages. The study of the kinetics and the mechanism of the exchange reaction of the coordinated solvent with tributylphosphine was performed by the spectrophotometric method. The second-order rate constants at four temperatures and the activation parameters revealed an associative mechanism for all corresponding complexes.



Anticancer activity of the nano uranyl Schiff base complexes against cancer cell lines (Jurkat) was studied and determined by the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide) assay.
Trading Futures: Queer Theory’s Anti-Anti-Relational Turn

QUEER THEORY'S ANTI-ANTI RELATIONAL TURN Drew Daniel Jose Esteban Munozs new book fights for the future of a field— queer theory—arguably defined by the differences between two works from its recent past: Mu noz's own Disidentif cations: Queers of Color and the Performance of Pol itics (1999) and Lee Edelman's No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive (2004).' Insofar as Cruising Utopia marries an argument of crankily counterintuitive original ity to whipsmart readings of both familiar and underground queer artworks, it more than succeeds in living up to the high standard set by his previous book. Just as Dis identifications broke with then-pre vailing critical orthodoxies of gay affirmation and belonging in its evocation of the anti-identitarian
