Examination of leisure sports alternatives provided by higher education institutions
Authors: Pfau Christa 
Published: March 2016

It is one of the main duties of sports in higher education to provide health conscious and sports-loving managers to the society. University years are a good opportunity to do sports in an organised framework, as well as lifestyle consultancy and to make use of the preventive function of sports. In this environment, the approach of students can still be shaped within a formal framework and their level of interest towards sports can still be increased. Furthermore, they can be motivated and become committed to sports if they have positive experiences. The aim of my analysis is to explore and describe the characteristics, peculiarities and current situation of higher education leisure sports. In this study, I present the results of the analysis of data collected with the first eight questions of the situation assessment part of the questionnaire survey. More specifically, I examined the evaluation of leisure sports activities, free sports opportunities and the branches of sports in which these are provided. I was also looking to find out where these sports opportunities are available for students inside or outside the institution and who they are organised and managed by. At the same time, I examined sports opportunities whose costs are paid by the student and analysed which branches of sports are available. Based on my results, I concluded that the sports opportunities of students are especially good according to the managers. This statement confronts the research findings which suggest that the sports activity of students is very low.

Marcel-André STALTER, Pierre Dunoyer, schilder.
De Franse schilder Pierre Dunoyer (1949) werd bekend in Parijs in 1978 in de groep van plastische opzoekingen JA NA PA. Deze groep heeft drie tentoonstellingen gehouden. Hij is de enige, bij de leden van deze groep (Bonnefoi, Mosta-Heirt, Semeraro, Vilmouth), die trouw blijft aan het schilderij dat hij als een fundamentele plaats bekijkt. Hij verwaarloost de erfenis van de hedendaagse abstractie van Newman tot Martin Barré, om zich toe te leggen op een nieuwe ekonomie van krachten binnen het schilderij : wit dat ailes bedekt, geometrische vormen, open en suggestief, enkele tinten (blauw, zwart, groen en geel) lange en brede penseels- trepen die het werk opbouwen en het doek verkennen.
Evaluation archéologique à la «Cité d'Angoulême», pâture Mandron-Peyron à Bavay
Authors: Duflot Laurent 
Published: March 2016

Le terrain Mandron-Peyron est situé au nord-ouest de la ville, à proximité du forum, entre les voies antiques Bavay-Tournai (RN 49) et Bavay-Blicquy (CD 24 ). L'importante superficie (2 ha) laissée à l'investigation archéologique donne l'occasion unique de mieux connaître l'habitat gallo-romain et surtout de préciser l'ancienne organisation spatiale de la trame urbaine bavaisienne.
Le décapage a dégagé la couche d'abandon de l'ancienne «Cité d'Angoulême» sur 0,60 m de profondeur en moyenne et a mis à jour un cardo ainsi qu'un decumanus et un diverticulum, constitués d'un cailloutis de calcaire bleu. Le decumanus, au sud de la pâture, se présente sous la forme de deux chaussées parallèles séparées par un égoût voûté ; il n'a pas été possible d'observer le moindre recouvrement de ce dernier par le cailloutis des chaussées. Comme à Amiens, mais avec d'autres matériaux, un trottoir en dalles de calcaire bleu, abrité par un portique, bordait le côté nord du decumanus.
Parmi les nombreuses structures retrouvées on peut signaler : trois hypocaustes, dont un avait conservé toutes ses pilettes (6), un départ d'arc de voûte d'une cave en opus mixtum (constitué de briques et de moellons) contrebuté par un empilement de quatre dés en calcaire bleu, et plus spectaculairement une grande cave de plan trapézoïdal. Ses murs en opus mixtum ont été systématiquement arasés dès l'Antiquité jusqu'à la première arase de brique. Avant cette récupération des matériaux, elle a connu une réorganisation architecturale de l'espace intérieur : une entrée a été percée dans le mur occidental et au moins trois pilastres et un pilier central ont été rajoutés. Il n'est pas superflu de rappeler que dans ce secteur le chanoine H. Biévelet avait fouillé en 1942 un bâtiment similaire pourvu d'un hypocauste.
Cette étude n'a été entreprise qu'au stade d'évaluation archéologique et il serait dommage qu'elle en restât là. L'occasion de fouiller sur une large échelle l'habitat gallo-romain de l'ancienne Bagacum est à saisir dès à présent.
SHOCK BREAKOUT DRIVEN BY THE REMNANT OF A NEUTRON STAR BINARY MERGER: AN X-RAY PRECURSOR OF MERGERNOVA EMISSION
Authors: Li Shao-Ze , Yu Yun-Wei 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
A supra-massive neutron star (NS) spinning extremely rapidly could survive from a merger of an NS-NS binary. The spin-down of this remnant NS that is highly magnetized could power the isotropic merger ejecta to produce a bright mergernova emission in the ultraviolet/optical bands. Before the mergernova, the early interaction between the NS wind and the ejecta could drive a forward shock propagating outward into the ejecta. As a result, a remarkable amount of heat can be accumulated behind the shock front and the final escape of this heat could produce a shock breakout emission. We describe the dynamics and thermal emission of this shock with a semi-analytical model. It is found that a few hours after the merger, by leading the mergernova emission as a precursor, sharp and luminous breakout emission appears mainly in soft X-rays, with a luminosity of

. Therefore, the detection of such an X-ray precursor could provide evidence for identifying NS-powered mergernovae and distinguishing them from radioactivity-powered novae (i.e., kilonovae or macronovae). The discovery of NS-powered mergernovae could finally help to confirm the gravitational wave signals due to the mergers and the existence of supra-massive NSs.

Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
The relation between star formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses, i.e., the galaxy main sequence, is a useful diagnostic of galaxy evolution. We present the distributions relative to the main sequence of 55 optically selected PG and 12 near-IR-selected Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) quasars at z ≤ 0.5. We estimate the quasar host stellar masses from Hubble Space Telescope or ground-based AO photometry, and the SFRs through the mid-infrared aromatic features and far-IR photometry. We find that PG quasar hosts more or less follow the main sequence defined by normal star-forming galaxies while 2MASS quasar hosts lie systematically above the main sequence. PG and 2MASS quasars with higher nuclear luminosities seem to have higher specific SFRs (sSFRs), although there is a large scatter. No trends are seen between sSFRs and SMBH masses, Eddington ratios, or even morphology types (ellipticals, spirals, and mergers). Our results could be placed in an evolutionary scenario with quasars emerging during the transition from ULIRGs/mergers to ellipticals. However, combined with results at higher redshift, they suggest that quasars can be widely triggered in normal galaxies as long as they contain abundant gas and have ongoing star formation.
Entrepreneurship traits of Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) students
Authors: Van der Lingen Elma , Van Niekerk Gerhard 
Published: March 2016

<p>Entrepreneurship studies and education courses have increased significantly with the realisation of its importance for economic growth. Entrepreneurship courses are no longer only lectured by business schools, economical and management sciences, but also in natural science and engineering departments. The aim of this study is to determine the enterprising tendency of science, engineering and technology (SET) students with the General Enterprising Tendency (GET) test developed by Dr Caird. The SET students have an enterprising tendency above average indicative that they are likely to be enterprising in some way, but most likely through intrapreneurship by being part of a group within a corporate environment. The first degree (BEng, BSc and BTech) of the SET students appear to have no influence on their enterprising tendency. The male students have a higher enterprising tendency than the females, and the BTech males revealed a significantly higher need for autonomy than BTech females. The White students have a higher tendency for the entrepreneurial traits such as “need for autonomy”, “calculated risk taking” and “internal local of control”, whereas the Black students have a higher “need for achievement”. The future aim with continuing this study will be to structure technopreneurship courses in order to provide more effective training for SET students.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Entrepreneurship, traits, tendencies, technopreneurs, science students, engineering students, technology students, SET students, gender, ethnical group, GET test</p><p align="LEFT"> </p>

The development of legislation for the progressive realisation of the right to access to sufficient food is labelled as an international and national objective. Section 27(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 assigns a compulsory mandate to the South African government to take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to achieve the progressive realisation of the right to access to sufficient food. The United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) proposes a three-level strategy for the implementation of the right to food on a national legislative level, namely through: constitutional recognition, the implementation of a food framework law and the reviewing of relevant sectoral legislation. This contribution focuses on the last level of legislative provisioning, namely the reviewing of relevant sectoral legislation which influences, or possibly can, influence the realisation of the right to access to sufficient food. The right to access to sufficient food has multidimensional, interdisciplinary and crosssectoral characteristics and consequently various sectors are involved in the realisation of the right to access to sufficient food. The FAO determines that the intended purpose will be to identify and review all sectoral legislation that might influence the availability, stability, access and adequacy of food, by means of a proposed reviewing process. The suggested reviewing process of the FAO is comprehensive and diverse; therefore the focus of this contribution is based on the reviewing of relevant environmental-related legislation only. The FAO does not make recommendations with regard to the specific aspects that need to be incorporated in environmental-related legislation to contribute to the progressive realisation of the right to access to sufficient food (in other words the aspects against which environmental-related legislation can be evaluated). Therefore this contribution contains compiled guidelines that can be used to review environmental-related legislation.
Beyond the Subject – towards the Object? Nancy K. Miller’s What They Saved: Pieces of a Jewish Past (2011) and the Materiality of Life Writing
Authors: Rueggemeier Anne 
Published: March 2016

In contrast to a long scholarly tradition that “separated subject from object, mind from matter” (Hodder 2012, p. 15), current writers of autobiography do no longer ignore the fact that “the content of our so-called inner lives comes heavily freighted with material from outer sources” (Eakin 2009, p. 102). The focus on things runs counter to internal and essential concepts of selfhood as they are rooted in Western thinking and rather make visible the material world, the body and the environment as formative factors of selfhood. It thereby contrasts the Cartesian concept of self founded on thought and reflection with a concept of self based on materiality. Drawing on Nancy K. Miller’s autobiography What They Saved: Pieces of a Jewish Past (2011) this paper will demonstrate that autobiographical objects foster a relational concept of self that is situated in the in-betweenness of subject and object, ego and autre as well as between the biographical and the autobiographical. Thus, the integration of objects highlights the fact that existence is not an individual affair, but that an autobiographical self emerges through and as part of his/her entangledness. Connected to this is the observation that objects function as a form of resistance against the processes of mind based epistemology and make a plea for “situated knowledges” (Haraway 1988).Finally, the essay takes a glimpse at some contemporary autobiographies from Britain, Sweden and Germany to illustrate that object-based life writing and the specific epistemology connected to it are worthy of further investigation.

The Romantic, the Gothic, and the Visual Three Narratives about Amalia von Krüdener and the Russian Poet Fedor Tiutchev
Authors: Bodin Per-Arne 
Published: March 2016

<p>One poem by the nineteenth-century Russian poet Fedor Tiutchev begins with the line ‘Я помню время золотое’ (or ‘Ia pomniu vremia zolotoe’) [I remember a golden time]. It is about the poet’s early youth, a meeting with a young woman, a spring outing to castle ruins on the Danube. The poem has led to many attempts to determine the exact time and place of this moment and the identity of the young woman. The aim of the article is to show the complex relationship that exists between fiction, reality, and the scholars’ or critics’ meta-level narrative about fiction and reality. I will attempt to demonstrate<br />how three distinct narratives (a romantic, a Gothic, and a visual) can originate in this poem, thereby illuminating and perhaps changing our aesthetic appreciation of the poem. The first two narratives have been established by literary historians. The third and last narrative emerges from a compilation of the paintings and photographs preserved by the woman presumed to be the subject of the poem.</p>
Driving voltage properties sensitive to microscale liquid crystal orientation pattern in twisted nematic liquid crystal cells
Authors: Honma Michinori , Takahashi Koki , Yamaguchi Rumiko , Nose Toshiaki 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
We investigated the micropattern-sensitive driving voltage properties of twisted nematic liquid crystal (LC) cells and found that the threshold voltage for inducing the Fréedericksz transition strongly depends on the micropatterned LC molecular orientation state. We discuss the effects of various cell parameters such as the period of the micropattern Λ, the LC layer thickness d, and the twist angle Φ on the threshold voltage. By a computer simulation of the LC molecular orientation, we found that the threshold voltage V
th varies in response to the deformation factor Δ (= d
2/Λ2 + Φ2/π2) of the spatially distributed LC molecular orientation. We confirm that

is proportional to 1 − Δ from both theoretical and experimental standpoints.
Acceleration of stable interface structure searching using a kriging approach

Published: March 2016

Abstract
Crystalline interfaces have a tremendous impact on the properties of materials. Determination of the atomic structure of the interface is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the interface properties. Despite this importance, extensive calculation is necessary to determine even one interface structure. In this study, we apply a technique called kriging, borrowed from geostatistics, to accelerate the determination of the interface structure. The atomic structure of simplified coincidence-site lattice interfaces were determined using the kriging approach. Our approach successfully determined the most stable interface structure with an efficiency almost 2 orders of magnitude better than the traditional “brute force” approach.
Positive and negative dipole layer formation at high-k/SiO2 interfaces simulated by classical molecular dynamics

Published: March 2016

Abstract
We show the electric dipole layer formed at a high-k/SiO2 interface can be explained by the imbalance between the migration of oxygen ions and metal cations across the high-k/SiO2 interface. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed for Al2O3/SiO2, MgO/SiO2, and SrO/SiO2 interfaces. The simulations qualitatively reproduce the experimentally observed flatband voltage (V
FB) shifts of these systems. In the case of the Al2O3/SiO2 interface, a dipole layer is formed by the migration of oxygen ions from the Al2O3 side to the SiO2 side. By way of contrast, opposite dipole moments appear at the MgO/SiO2 and SrO/SiO2 interfaces, because of a preferential migration of metal cations from the high-k oxide toward the SiO2 layer in the course of the formation of a stable silicate phase. These results indicate that the migrations of both oxygen ions and metal cations are responsible for the formation of the dipole layer in high-k/SiO2 interfaces.
Trajectory‐based modeling of fluid transport in a medium with smoothly varying heterogeneity
Authors: Vasco D. W. , Pride Steven R. , Commer Michael 
Published: March 2016

AbstractUsing an asymptotic methodology, valid in the presence of smoothly varying heterogeneity and prescribed boundaries, we derive a trajectory‐based solution for tracer transport. The analysis produces a Hamilton‐Jacobi partial differential equation for the phase of the propagating tracer front. The trajectories follow from the characteristic equations that are equivalent to the Hamilton‐Jacobi equation. The paths are determined by the fluid velocity field, the total porosity, and the dispersion tensor. Due to their dependence upon the local hydrodynamic dispersion, they differ from conventional streamlines. This difference is borne out in numerical calculations for both uniform and dipole flow fields. In an application to the computational X‐ray imaging of a saline tracer test, we illustrate that the trajectories may serve as the basis for a form of tracer tomography. In particular, we use the onset time of a change in attenuation for each volume element of the X‐ray image as a measure of the arrival time of the saline tracer. The arrival times are used to image the spatial variation of the effective hydraulic conductivity within the laboratory sample.
Pore‐scale displacement mechanisms as a source of hysteresis for two‐phase flow in porous media

Published: March 2016

AbstractThe macroscopic description of the hysteretic behavior of two‐phase flow in porous media remains a challenge. It is not obvious how to represent the underlying pore‐scale processes at the Darcy‐scale in a consistent way. Darcy‐scale thermodynamic models do not completely eliminate hysteresis and our findings indicate that the shape of displacement fronts is an additional source of hysteresis that has not been considered before. This is a shortcoming because effective process behavior such as trapping efficiency of CO2 or oil production during water flooding are directly linked to pore‐scale displacement mechanisms with very different front shape such as capillary fingering, flat frontal displacement, or cluster growth. Here we introduce fluid topology, expressed by the Euler characteristic of the nonwetting phase (χn), as a shape measure of displacement fronts. Using two high‐quality data sets obtained by fast X‐ray tomography, we show that χn is hysteretic between drainage and imbibition and characteristic for the underlying displacement pattern. In a more physical sense, the Euler characteristic can be interpreted as a parameter describing local fluid connectedness. It may provide the closing link between a topological characterization and macroscopic formulations of two‐phase immiscible displacement in porous rock. Since fast X‐ray tomography is currently becoming a mature technique, we expect a significant growth in high‐quality data sets of real time fluid displacement processes in the future. The novel measures of fluid topology presented here have the potential to become standard metrics needed to fully explore them.
Reactivated afterslip induced by a large regional earthquake, Fiordland, New Zealand
Authors: Hamling I. J. , Hreinsdóttir S. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThe evaluation of seismic hazard along active faults requires knowledge of the long term slip rate, the portions of the fault which are accumulating strain, and the magnitude, number, and location of past earthquakes. Aseismic slip will lower the long‐term seismic potential, but the distribution of seismic versus aseismic slip along faults is often poorly constrained. Changes to the local stress field may cause the distribution of slip to vary over time periods shorter than the seismic cycle, making it difficult to assess. Using interferometric synthetic aperture radar and GPS data, we present the coseismic and postseismic deformation associated with the 2007 Mw 6.8 George Sound (New Zealand) earthquake and the influence of the 2009 Mw 7.8 Dusky Sound earthquake on the postseismic deformation. Our results suggest that the stress change induced by the later magnitude 7.8 earthquake led to a period of reactivated aseismic slip along the Puysegur subduction interface which ruptured 2 years earlier.
Generation of multiband chorus by lower band cascade in the Earth's magnetosphere
Authors: Gao Xinliang , Lu Quanming , Bortnik Jacob , Li Wen , Chen Lunjin , Wang Shui 
Published: March 2016

AbstractChorus waves are intense electromagnetic whistler mode emissions in the magnetosphere, typically falling into two distinct frequency bands: a lower band (0.1–0.5fce) and an upper band (0.5–0.8fce) with a power gap at about 0.5fce. In this letter, with the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms satellite, we observed two special chorus events, which are called as multiband chorus because upper band chorus is located at harmonics of lower band chorus. We propose a new potential generation mechanism for multiband chorus, which is called as lower band cascade. In this scenario, a density mode with a frequency equal to that of lower band chorus is generated by the ponderomotive effect (inhomogeneity of the electric amplitude) along the wave vector, and then upper band chorus with the frequency twice that of lower band chorus is generated through wave‐wave couplings between lower band chorus and the density mode. The mechanism provides a new insight into the evolution of whistler mode chorus in the Earth's magnetosphere.

AbstractEfficient rhodium‐catalyzed direct C–H phosphorylation of (hetero)arenes was developed. Various directing groups and a wide range of substrates, including heterocycles, can be utilized in this C–H phosphorylation process, allowing for the rapid installation of the phosphonate group into medicinally and biologically important privileged scaffolds. The efficient and straightforward method could serve as a new tool to streamline late‐stage C–H functionalization for preparing aryl phosphonates, which are important structural motif in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.magnified image
