description: Fialowski and Schlichenmaier constructed examples of global deformations of Lie algebras of vector fields from deforming the underlying variety. We formulate their approach in a conceptual way. Namely, we construct a stack of deformations and a morphism form the moduli stack of stable marked curves. The morphism associates to a family of marked curves the family of Lie algebras obtained by taking the Lie algebra of vertical vector fields on the family where one has extracted the marked points. We show that this morphism is almost a monomorphism by Pursell-Shanks theory.

Fostering critical thinking through problem solving in home economics
Creators: name: Raynor, Barbara Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study investigated whether critical thinking can be fostered in home economics through teaching a problem solving approach in Family Management. Secondarily, it investigated teacher behaviours which may foster critical thinking abilities, the moral and ethical issues which the teaching of critical thinking addresses, and whether the students were able to use problem solving in real life situations. The research involved the students and teacher in a Family Management eleven class in rural British Columbia. All students in the class chose to participate in the study. The study was conducted during twenty-six classroom hours. The study used action research as the research methodology. The research included action/research cycles with time between for analysis and reflection. The phase of data analysis and reflection was called the reconnaissance. Data was collected through audio tapes of the classes, entries in the teacher's journal, a checklist, and collected student work. The data collected in the first reconnaissance phase established a description which served as a point of reference for comparing and analyzing later observations. Two cycles of action/research followed. Observations were made and data collected as the critical thinking concepts were introduced. The introduction of the macro-thinking skill of problem solving was combined with the micro- thinking skills of avoiding fallacies, observing, reporting and summarizing. The research found that there was an increase in critical thinking activities at the end of the study. Factors that were found to have effected this change were: the teaching of a problem solving process, the teaching of micro-thinking skills, certain teacher behaviours, and the classroom atmosphere. Home economics was found to play a unique role in providing practice in real life problem solving. Further research is needed to determine if the skills the students learned while problem solving in Family Management will carry over to everyday life.
Separability Criterion for multipartite quantum states based on the Bloch representation of density matrices

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We give a new separability criterion, a necessary condition for separability of $N$-partite quantum states. The criterion is based on the Bloch representation of a $N$-partite quantum state and makes use of multilinear algebra, in particular, the matrization of tensors. Our criterion applies to {\it arbitrary} $N$-partite quantum states in $\mathcal{H}=\mathcal{H}^{d_1}\otimes \mathcal{H}^{d_2} \otimes ... \otimes \mathcal{H}^{d_N}.$ The criterion can test whether a $N$-partite state is entangled and can be applied to different partitions of the $N$-partite system. We provide examples that show the ability of this criterion to detect entanglement. We show that this criterion can detect bound entangled states. We prove a sufficiency condition for separability of a 3-partite state, straightforwardly generalizable to the case $N > 3,$ under certain condition. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for separability of a class of $N$-qubit states which includes $N$-qubit PPT states.

description: Precession of magnetization induced by pulsed optical excitation is observed in a ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As by time-resolved magneto-optical measurements. It appears as complicated oscillations of polarization plane of linearly-polarized probe pulses, but is reproduced by gyromagnetic theory incorporating an impulsive change in an effective magnetic field due to changes in magnetic anisotropy. It is inferred from the shape of the impulse that the changes in anisotropy result from non-equilibrium carrier population: cooling of hot photo-carriers and subsequent annihilation of photo-carriers.
A conception of global home economics education
Creators: name: Smith, Mary Gale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Living in an increasingly complex and interdependent world has prompted many educators to call for infusing or integrating a global perspective across the curriculum. Such action, to be ethically defensible, demands conceptual clarity and the exposure of theoretical underpinnings and basic values. Integrating a global perspective and home economics education is investigated through conceptual analysis and conception construction. The purpose of this study is to develop and defend a conception of global home economics education by exploring the following research questions: Is a global perspective implicit in the mission of home economics? Is global education implicit in home economics education? What are the places of citizenship education, education for cross-cultural understanding, consumer education, and environmental education in home economics education? What is global home economics education? And what justification or rationale can be offered for global home economics education? Findings indicate that a constructivist global perspective (Coombs, 1988a) is implicit in the mission of home economics (Brown & Paolucci, 1979), that a constructivist global education is implicit in the conception of home economics education developed by Brown (1980), and that the various educations can offer complementary approaches to global problems. A conception of global home economics education is proposed that is an expansion of existing work (Brown, 1980), and advocates the systematic integration of global education and home economics education, confirms the practical problem orientation recommended by Brown, and adopts the strategy of practical reasoning. Implications for curriculum development, teachers, teacher education, and schools are briefly explored with suggestions for further research.

description: Based on the NRQCD factorization formalism, we calculate the inclusive charm production rate in Upsilon(nS) decay at leading order in the strong coupling constant alpha_s and the relative velocity v of the b quark in the quarkonium rest frame. The branching fractions for Upsilon(nS) to charm for n=1, 2, and 3 are all around 7-9%. About 60% of the branching fraction into charm is from annihilation of the color-singlet bb-bar pair into gamma^* -> cc-bar. Most of the remaining branching fraction is from annihilation of the color-singlet bb-bar pair decaying into cc-bar gg. We also compute the momentum distributions of the charm quark and charmed hadrons in the decays. The virtual-photon contribution to the charm quark momentum distribution is concentrated at the end point while the cc-bar gg contribution is broad. The momentum distributions for charmed hadrons are obtained by convolving the charm-quark momentum distribution with charm fragmentation functions. This makes the momentum distributions for charmed hadrons softer than that for the charm quark. This effect is particularly significant in the virtual-photon contribution.

description: The Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument onboard GLAST offers a tremendous opportunity for future blazar studies. In order to fully benefit from its capabilities and to maximize the scientific return from the LAT, it is of great importance to conduct dedicated multi-frequency monitoring campaigns that will result comprehensive observations. Consequently, we initiated an effort to conduct a GLAST-dedicated, quasi-simultaneous, broad-band flux-density (and polarization) monitoring of potential GLAST blazars with the Effelsberg and OVRO radio telescopes (11cm to 7mm wavelength). Here, we present a short overview of these activities which will complement the multi-wavelengths activities of the GLAST/LAT collaboration towards the 'low-energy' radio bands. Further we will give a brief outlook including the extension of this coordinated campaign towards higher frequencies and future scientific aims.

description: While all models of Majorana neutrino masses lead to the same dimension five effective operator, which does not conserve lepton number, the dimension six operators induced at low energies conserve lepton number and differ depending on the high energy model of new physics. We derive the low-energy dimension six operators which are characteristic of generic Seesaw models, in which neutrino masses result from the exchange of heavy fields which may be either fermionic singlets, fermionic triplets or scalar triplets. The resulting operators may lead to effects observable in the near future, if the coefficients of the dimension five and six operators are decoupled along a certain pattern, which turns out to be common to all models. The phenomenological consequences are explored as well, including their contributions to $μ\to e γ$ and new bounds on the Yukawa couplings for each model.

The Worm-Like Chain Theory And Bending Of Short DNA

description: The probability distributions for bending angles in double helical DNA obtained in all-atom molecular dynamics simulations are compared with theoretical predictions. The computed distributions remarkably agree with the worm-like chain theory for double helices of one helical turn and longer, and qualitatively differ from predictions of the semi-elastic chain model. The computed data exhibit only small anomalies in the apparent flexibility of short DNA and cannot account for the recently reported AFM data (Wiggins et al, Nature nanotechnology 1, 137 (2006)). It is possible that the current atomistic DNA models miss some essential mechanisms of DNA bending on intermediate length scales. Analysis of bent DNA structures reveals, however, that the bending motion is structurally heterogeneous and directionally anisotropic on the intermediate length scales where the experimental anomalies were detected. These effects are essential for interpretation of the experimental data and they also can be responsible for the apparent discrepancy.

description: We present high resolution spectroscopic mid-infrared observations of the circumstellar disk around the Herbig Ae star HD97048 with the VLT Imager and Spectrometer for the mid-InfraRed (VISIR). We detect the S(1) pure rotational line of molecular hydrogen (H2) at 17.035 microns arising from the disk around the star. This detection reinforces the claim that HD97048 is a young object surrounded by a flared disk at an early stage of evolution. The emitting warm gas is located within the inner 35 AU of the disk. The line-to-continuum flux ratio is much higher than expected from models of disks at local thermodynamics equilibrium. We investigate the possible physical conditions, such as a gas-to-dust mass ratio higher than 100 and different excitation mechanisms of molecular hydrogen (X-ray heating, shocks, ...) in order to explain the detection. We tentatively estimate the mass of warm gas to be in the range from 0.01 to nearly 1 Jupiter Mass. Further observations are needed to better constrain the excitation mechanisms as well as the mass of gas.

Hoje em dia, a maior parte destes sistemas estão florestados e excessivamente cobertos de mato e árvores, causando sérios problemas ao nível das explorações. O restauro destes sistemas abandonados é fundamental para o desenvolvimento do valor natural e cultural da região rural, e para a rentabilidade da indústria de criação de gado. Se estas zonas forem deixadas ao abandono, podem vir a ser registadas como áreas florestais, o que proibirá a atividade silvopastoril (pastoreio e/ou limpeza para pastagem).
Analysis of gender bias in home economics textbooks
Creators: name: Hayibor, Bernice Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Three Canadian home economics textbooks currently used in teaching human relationships were examined to explore the ways in which they are or are not contributing to gender equity. The research posed three questions: To whom is the textbook addressed? What are the characteristics of learners assumed by the textbook? and In what way does the textbook deal with gender bias? In each textbook the preface, index, table of contents, photographs, highlighted sections, and content were examined in detail. The texts were compared to determine commonalities. The methodology was adapted from earlier textbook analyses of sex equity which were based on the study of intentions outlined in the preface, photographs, and language. Recent feminist work suggests that studies of bias must consider not only the biological concept of sex but also the social construction of gender which relates to those characteristics, activities, and roles traditionally associated with one sex. The feminist concepts of gender sensitivity and gender balance were used in this textbook analysis. The textbooks were found to contribute to gender equity in five Ways. The first approach, including males, is not adequate because it involves the risk of males and a male perspective becoming dominant. The second approach, using inclusive language, is also inadequate because it involves the risk of masking the differences existing between females and males and the problems arising from gender. Exposing differences and addressing social issues relating to gender are two approaches which may hold promise in contributing to gender equity but in the texts examined were inadequate because the issues were presented as neutral or unproblematic. Encouraging critical thinking was the final approach used in only one textbook and its contribution to gender equity was minimal because critical thinking was applied inconsistently and rarely applied specifically to problems of gender. Gender sensitivity and gender balance require the appropriate use of inclusive and sex specific language, the balanced inclusion of females and males, and detailed, sensitive, and critical discussion of issues related to gender. The findings of this study raise concerns about the analysis of textbooks. Home economics textbooks have the unique challenge of including males without allowing males and a male perspective to become dominant. Overcoming the problems of gender requires sensitivity in exposing gender differences. Neutralizing knowledge and presenting knowledge as factual rather than problematic masks differences and problems arising from them. The findings of this research suggest analysis of textbooks for gender bias should not be restricted to surface features such as explicit intentions stated in prefaces, photographs, and language. Elimination of gender bias requires substantive changes in textbook content.

description: Efficient injection of spin-polarized electrons into the conduction band of silicon is limited by the formation of a silicide at the ferromagnetic metal (FM)/silicon interface. In the present work, this "magnetically-dead" silicide (where strong spin-scattering significantly reduces injected spin polarization) is eliminated by moving the FM in the spin injector from the tunnel junction base anode to the emitter cathode and away from the silicon surface. This results in over an order-of-magnitude increase in spin injection efficiency, from a previously-reported magnetocurrent ratio of ~2% to ~35% and an estimated spin polarization in Si from ~1% to at least ~15%. The injector tunnel-junction bias dependence of this spin transport signal is also measured, demonstrating the importance of low bias voltage to preserve high injected spin polarization.

description: To investigate factors that might influence the quality of life of the family caregivers of oesophageal cancer patients. A cross-sectional study within a prospective, population-based nationwide cohort study including family caregivers to oesophageal cancer patients was conducted. The exposures were family caregivers’ age, sex, education level and patients’ tumour stage, postoperative complications, weight loss and comorbidities. The outcome was health-related quality of life (HRQL) one year after the patient’s cancer surgery measured by the RAND-36. Multivariable linear regression analysis provided mean score differences (MSD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). In total 257 family caregivers were included. Family caregivers ≥65 years displayed lower physical function (MSD=-8.5; p = 0.001) but a higher level of energy (MSD = 9.2; p = 0.002). Those with a higher education level had less pain (MSD = 11.2; p = 0.01) and better physical function (MSD = 9.1; p = 0.006). Among the patient related exposures, postoperative complications were associated with family caregivers’ physical function (MSD= −6.0; p = 0.01) and pain (MSD= −7.9; p = 0.01). Tumour stage and comorbidities were not associated with the HRQL of the family caregiver. The study suggests that patients’ complications and age and education level of the family caregivers are associated with family caregivers HRQL. This information provides guidance in the process of creating support for family caregivers of oesophageal cancer patients.

However, already tiny asymmetries can destroy the entanglement properties of the ground state. Nevertheless, even under more realistic conditions, the scheme is demonstrated numerically to generate mesoscopic superpositions.

description: The incidence of pregnancy-associated cancers has been increasing for decades. (18F)-FDG Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) imaging has become a golden standard in the staging of many malignant diseases. The aims of the current study were to evaluate the feasibility, safety and impact of (18F)-FDG PET/CT performed during pregnancy. A retrospective analysis from the prospective database of the Cancer Associé à La Grossesse (CALG) network (Tenon Hospital, France) including patients who underwent (18F)-FDG PET/CT during their pregnancy between 2015 and 2020. Of the 536 patients for whom advice from the CALG network was requested during the study period, 359 were diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy. Study population was composed of 63 (17.5%) patients who underwent (18F)-FDG PET/CT. Most cancers were diagnosed during the second trimester. Seventy-five percent were diagnosed with breast cancer, mostly locally advanced invasive ductal carcinomas. Median term of pregnancy at PET/CT was 24.8 weeks of gestation. Twelve (19%), 24 (38.1%) and 22 (34.9%) patients underwent the exam during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester, respectively. (18F)-FDG PET/CT resulted in stage modification for 38 (60.3%) of the patients (28 with more extensive lymph node involvement and 10 with metastatic disease) with subsequently/accordingly modified first-line medical treatment. Fifty patients gave birth to healthy newborns. Two patients had a medical termination of pregnancy, five had a medical abortion, one neonatal death occurred in a patient with severe preeclampsia (unrelated to (18F)-FDG PET/CT). The data of 46 children were available at 6 months, 29 at 12 months, and 15 at 24 months. No cases of mental retardation, childhood cancer, or malformation were reported within 2 years. (18F)-FDG PET/CT has a major impact on the management of pregnancy-associated cancers and does not appear to cause fetal side effects suggesting that the exam is feasible during pregnancy as maternal benefits outweigh fetal risks.

description: The interplay between chaotic tunneling and dynamical localization in mixed phase space is investigated. Semiclassical analysis using complex classical orbits reveals that tunneling through torus regions and transport in chaotic regions are not independent processes, rather they are strongly correlated and described by complex orbits with both properties. This predicts a phenomenon analogous to the quantum suppression of classical diffusion: chaotic tunneling is suppressed as a result of dynamical localization in chaotic regions. This hypothesis is confirmed by numerical experiments where the effect of destructive interference is attenuated.

description: There is growing interest in the United States and elsewhere in the use of a points-based system for selecting immigrants on the basis of their observed human capital. This paper explores the design of an optimal skills-based immigrant selection system based on two basic elements: a predicted-earnings threshold for determining whom to accept and reject, and a human-capital-based earnings regression for making error-minimizing predictions of immigrant success in the host labor market. We first show how to design a points system based on what are assumed to be the optimal predicted-earnings threshold and the optimal prediction regression. We next develop a method for identifying the optimal threshold given the prediction regression. The method produces a ¿selection frontier¿ that describes the options facing policy makers. The frontier shows the tradeoff between the average quality of admitted immigrants and the number of immigrants admitted. The frontier shifts out with improved accuracy in predicting earnings as well as with increases in the variation and average quality of the applicant pool. Finally, we show how the policy maker chooses the optimal selection system given the selection frontier.

description: Academic and high volume hospitals have better outcome for pancreatic cancer (PC) surgery, but there are no reports on oncological treatment. We aimed to determine the influence of facility types on overall survival (OS) after treatment with chemotherapy for inoperable PC. 2,657 patients were treated in Denmark from 2012 to 2018 and registered in the Danish Pancreatic Cancer Database. Facilities were classified as either secondary oncological units or comprehensive, tertiary referral cancer centers. The average yearly number of patients seen at the four tertiary facilities was 71, and 31 at the four secondary facilities. Patients at secondary facilities were older, more frequently had severe comorbidity and lived in non-urban municipalities. As compared to combination chemotherapy, monotherapy with gemcitabine was used more often (59%) in secondary facilities than in tertiary (34%). The unadjusted median OS was 7.7 months at tertiary and 6.1 months at secondary facilities. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.16 (confidence interval 1.07–1.27) demonstrated an excess risk of death for patients treated at secondary facilities, which disappeared when taking type of chemotherapy used into account. Hence, more use of combination chemotherapy was associated with the observed improved OS of patients treated at tertiary facilities. Declining HR’s per year of first treatment indicated improved outcomes with time, however the difference among facility types remained significant. Equal access to modern combination chemotherapy at all facilities on a national level is essential to ensure equality in treatment results.

description: Prevalence of peripheral neuropathy (PN) has been studied in patients undergoing treatment with taxanes, platinums and vinca alkaloids. The prevalence is unknown in the general oncological cancer population, characterized by advanced age, comorbidities and heterogeneous treatments. A cross-sectional survey was administered to all adult patients, attending outpatient services at three Danish departments of oncology. The survey contained the EORTC-CIPN20, the EORTC-QLQ-C30, the GAD7 and PHQ9 questionnaires. A high PN symptom score was defined as a summary score ≥30 points on the CIPN20. P-values were adjusted for multiple testing. With an overall response rate of 83% (2839 patients), prevalence of PN was 17% overall, varying from 6 to 33% between diagnosis groups. A high score was more common among females (19 vs. 14%, p = .008), smokers (21 vs. 15%, p = .04), patients living alone (21 vs. 15%, p = .002) and patients using cannabis (29 vs. 15%, p p p p p = .01). High score patients were also older (69ys vs 67ys, p = .048) and more likely experiencing polypharmacy (OR = 3.38 [95% CI, 2.64;4.35]). Patients with a high CIPN20 symptom score scored worse on all EORTC QLQ-C30 function and symptom scales. The mean adjusted C30 SumScore difference was −18.66 ([95% CI, −20.31; −17.02], p Symptoms of PN are experienced widely across cancer groups in the oncology setting. PN symptoms were associated with clinically relevant worse health-related quality of life and with patient-related factors as living alone, various comorbidities, polypharmacy, and cannabis use.
Backward Compton Scattering and QED with Noncommutative Plane in the Strong Uniform Magnetic Field

description: In the strong uniform magnetic field, the noncommutative plane (NCP) caused by the lowest Landau level (LLL) effect, and QED with NCP (QED-NCP) are studied. Being similar to the condensed matter theory of quantum Hall effect, an effective filling factor $f(B)$ is introduced to character the possibility that the electrons stay on the LLL. The analytic and numerical results of the differential cross section for the process of backward Compton scattering in the accelerator with unpolarized or polarized initial photons are calculated. The existing data of BL38B2 in Spring-8 have been analyzed roughly and compared with the numerical predictions primitively. We propose a precise measurement of the differential cross sections of backward Compton scattering in a strong perpendicular magnetic field, which may lead to reveal the effects of QED-NCP.

A study of grade six student images, concerns, questions and knowledge about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Creators: name: Fountain, Renee-Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This research examines rural, pre-adolescent student images, concerns, questions and knowledge about the disease Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). A secondary objective is to determine if responses are influenced by gender. A qualitative survey was administered to six classes of Grade 6 students (n = 131), within two public education districts in the province of British Columbia. Student participants had no previous formal AIDS education instruction. Pupil images, concerns, questions and knowledge concerning AIDS are investigated by means of open-ended, survey questions requiring both pictorial and written responses. The study is designed, conducted and analyzed from a generative learning theory perspective. By ascertaining specific student concerns surrounding AIDS it is hoped that educators will be able to design AIDS curriculum that is both developmentally appropriate for and conceptually befitting to early adolescent needs.

A comparison group study on the effects of instruction in writing heuristics on the expository writing of E.S.L. students
Creators: name: Strong, Gregory Butler
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This research addressed two major questions: (1) what effect does instruction in writing heuristics have on the expository writing of E.S.L. students? (2) is one writing heuristic better than another? In an experiment involving 116 twelfth-graders in eight classes, the subjects were randomly assigned within classes to one of three groups. Each of the three groups received ten hours of instruction: two groups in writing heuristics, and a third group which served as an experimental control received instruction in grammar. The study was a pretest/posttest design where essays were administered as the tests. The students' essays were scored for quantity (number of words) and quality. Scores were analyzed in a repeated measures design. The results revealed that there were no significant differences between the three groups on either the quantitative or qualitative measures. Although a review of the literature indicated support for the use of writing heuristics with E.S.L. students, the experimental evidence in this study does not substantiate this view.
title: An analysis of the Rural Environmental Protection Scheme

subject: Input use

description: The Rural Environment Protection Scheme (REPS) was introduced under Council Regulation 2078/92 in order to encourage farmers to carry out their activities in a more extensive and environmentally friendly manner. This paper looks at the general design of REPS and its uptake by farmers. It evaluates the obligations that REPS places on farmers and the penalties for non-compliance. The paper also examines, using National Farm Survey data, the extent to which farming activities that can help or hinder the environment have changed at a national level due to the REPS scheme. The analysis shows that REPS has had an impact on machinery & building investment and on land & building maintenance. Fertiliser and pesticide use have fallen marginally as a result of the scheme. However, the impact of REPS on the production of organic nitrogen and on the use of chemical nitrogen has been negligible.

description: We consider local leaders in random uncorrelated networks, i.e. nodes whose degree is higher or equal than the degree of all of their neighbors. An analytical expression is found for the probability of a node of degree $k$ to be a local leader. This quantity is shown to exhibit a transition from a situation where high degree nodes are local leaders to a situation where they are not when the tail of the degree distribution behaves like the power-law $\sim k^{-γ_c}$ with $γ_c=3$. Theoretical results are verified by computer simulations and the importance of finite-size effects is discussed.

Premediating the Future in an Era of Securitization
Creators: name: Mohr, Christina
Publisher: name: KULT_online
Year: 2010

description: In 2004 Richard Grusin coined the term 'premediation' in order to highlight that the overall media concern of post 9/11 America lies in remediating the future, i.e. in making sure that the future as such has already undergone profound remediation (see: “Premediation.” In: Criticism, 46, 1, 17–39, 21). In his 2010 monograph on Premediation – Affect and Mediality after 9/11, Grusin provides a concise theory of premediation as a strategy of securitisation that has made outdated the former media regime of surveillance (see p. 126). Building on recent findings in affect theory, embodied realism, and (media) philosophy, Grusin shows how media formations govern the distribution of affect and, consequently, human action and sentiment, and thus function as powerful political players.

Visual Aesthetics of Transgression
Creators: name: Vujanovic, Branka
Publisher: name: KULT_online
Year: 2010

description: The edited volume Maßlose Bilder. Visuelle Ästhetik der Transgression (Immoderate Images. Visual Aesthetics of Transgression) introduces a concept of transgression as a critical device in order to question the aesthetic, ethical, and epistemological predicaments assigned to visual media. The attempt to transgress the confines of the visible and the ostensible is not only a major feature of modern art, but also a decisive constituent of an ethics of perception and a self-reflective image production, which also challenges a presupposition of scientific reliability. The contributors to this volume come from the fields of art theory, philosophy, theory of media, theatre, film, and architecture, as well as from the fields of astrophysics, mathematics, and physiology. The editors Ingeborg Reichle and Steffen Siegel are members of the interdisciplinary group Bildkulturen (Visual Cultures) at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science.
