description: A novel observable, the double nuclear modification factor, is proposed to probe simultaneously the initial and final state effects in nucleus-nucleus collisions. An interesting competition between the combinatorial enhancement in the double parton scattering and the suppression due to parton energy loss can be observed in the production rate of two hard particles. In particular, the production of $J/ψ$ mesons in association with a $W$ boson is not suppressed but is enhanced in the region of moderate transverse momenta, unlike the case of unassociated (inclusive) $J/ψ$ production. At the same time, in the region of high enough transverse momenta the nuclear modification factor for associated $J/ψ+W$ production converges to that of unassociated $J/ψ$.

title: Das österreichische Privatstiftungsrecht und das neue liechtensteinische Stiftungsrecht im Vergleich
Creators: name: Melzer, Martin
Year: 2009

description: Das Rechtsinstitut der Stiftung bzw Privatstiftung erfreut sich sowohl im Fürstentum Liechtenstein als auch in Österreich größter Beliebtheit. Dies zeigt sich vor allem in der Anzahl der bestehenden Stiftungen: Während in Liechtenstein per 12. September 2008 47.404 Stiftungen bestanden, waren im österreichischen Firmenbuch per 30. Juli 2008 3.124 Privatstiftungen eingetragen. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, dass davon ausgegangen werden kann, dass in Liechtenstein zwischen 3000 und 6000 Stiftungen bestehen, welche österreichische Stifter und/oder Begünstigte haben. Den Abfluss von Vermögen in ausländische – insbesondere liechtensteinische – Stiftungen hintanzuhalten, war daher auch eines der erklärten Ziele des österreichischen Gesetzgebers bei der Schaffung des Privatstiftungsgesetzes. Die österreichische Privatstiftung sollte von Anfang an als Konkurrenzprodukt zur liechtensteinischen Stiftung ausgestaltet werde und letztere hatte darum auch eine wesentliche Vorbildfunktion bei der Schaffung des PSG hatte. Durch die nunmehr erfolgte Totalrevision des liechtensteinischen Stiftungsrechts ergibt sich die aus rechtsvergleichender Sicht interessante Konstellation, dass sich das einstige Vorbild (PGR), nun seinerseits an seinem Nachahmer (PSG) orientiert. Neben der sogleich ins Auge fallenden Angleichung der Diktion an das PSG, dienten einige Regelungen des PSG ausdrücklich als Rezeptionsvorlage für die entsprechenden liechtensteinischen Bestimmungen. Außerdem konnte der liechtensteinische Gesetzgeber auf das umfangreiche Schrifttum und die Judikatur zum PSG zurückgreifen. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll nun einen systematischen Vergleich des österreichischen Privatstiftungsrechts und des neuen liechtensteinischen Stiftungsrechts bieten. Gerade wegen des oben erwähnten Konkurrenzverhältnisses auf dem Gebiet des Stiftungsrechtes ist eine vergleichende Betrachtung der beiden Rechtsordnungen von großem praktischem Interesse. Von einer ausdrücklichen Schwerpunktsetzung auf einzelne Aspekte des Stiftungsrechts wird dabei bewusst abgesehen. Vielmehr ist es das Ziel dieser Arbeit einen Gesamtvergleich zwischen der österreichischen Privatstiftung und der liechtensteinischen Stiftung zu ziehen. Dennoch sollen dabei verschiedene Teilbereiche wegen ihrer praktischen Relevanz vertiefend behandelt werden. Bei jenen Bereichen, die aufgrund des Umfangs der Arbeit, nicht derart ausführlich dargestellt werden können, wird anhand eines umfangreichen Anmerkungsapparates auf weiterführende Literatur verwiesen. Neben dem unmittelbaren Vergleich der beiden Rechtsordnungen werden weiters die Hintergründe der neuen Regelungen im liechtensteinischen Stiftungsrecht sowie ihr Verhältnis zu den stiftungsrechtlichen Bestimmungen des PGR vor der Totalrevision dargestellt.

description: Transmission spectroscopy is a proven technique to study a transiting exoplanet's atmosphere. However, stellar surface inhomogeneities, spots and faculae, alter the observed transmission spectra: the stellar contamination effect. The variable nature of the stellar activity also makes it difficult to stitch together multi-epoch observations and evaluate any potential variability in the exoplanet's atmosphere. This paper introduces SAGE, a tool to correct for the time-dependent impact of stellar activity on transmission spectra. It uses a pixelation approach to model the stellar surface with spots and faculae, while fully accounting for limb-darkening and rotational line-broadening. The current version is designed for low to medium-resolution spectra. We used SAGE to evaluate stellar contamination for F to M-type hosts, testing various spot sizes and locations, and quantify the impact of limb-darkening. We find that limb-darkening enhances the importance of the spot location on the stellar disk, with spots close to the disk center impacting the transmission spectra more strongly than spots near the limb. Moreover, due to the chromaticity of limb darkening, the shape of the contamination spectrum is also altered. Additionally, SAGE can be used to retrieve the properties and distribution of active regions on the stellar surface from photometric monitoring. We demonstrate this for WASP-69 using TESS data, finding that two spots at mid-latitudes and a combined coverage fraction of $\sim$1% are favoured. SAGE allows us to connect the photometric variability to the stellar contamination of transmission spectra, enhancing our ability to jointly interpret transmission spectra obtained at different epochs.

Industry mix and 3D urban heterogeneity: insights into innovation districts
Creators: name: Hawken, SG
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2016

description: Economic heterogeneity is an inherent characteristic of cities. Such heterogeneity is generally mapped at broad scales and the specific physical interfaces between industries and the spaces they occupy are rarely addressed vertically as a 3D urban landscape. This paper examines vertical or 3D heterogeneity of different building types using the City of Sydney’s fine grained GIS dataset from 2012. Different building types are examined for their ability to support different tenant mix “ecologies”. The study finds that statistically different buildings support different mixes with variables such as building size, location and age playing an influential role in the tenant mix. 3D industry mix is an important factor for cities seeking to foster innovation and economic development. This research engages with current dialogues on innovation districts by providing quantitative evidence to help real-estate professionals, urban designers and city managers to make decisions concerning the shaping of specific industry mixes.

description: Controlling thermal transport at the nanoscale is vital for many applications. Previously, it has been shown that this control can be achieved with periodically nanostructured two-dimensional phononic crystals, for the case of suspended devices. Here we show that thermal conductance can also be controlled with three-dimensional phononic crystals, allowing the engineering of the thermal contact of more varied devices without the need of suspension in the future. We show experimental results measured at sub-Kelvin temperatures for two different period three-dimensional crystals, as well as for a bulk control structure. The results show that the conductance can be enhanced with the phononic crystal structures in our geometry. This result cannot be fully explained by the simplest theory taking into account the coherent modification of the phonon band structure, calculated with finite element method simulations.

description: The two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet is believed to host quantum spin liquid (QSL) states with no magnetic order, but its ground state remains largely elusive. An important outstanding question concerns the presence or absence of the 1/9 magnetization plateau, where exotic quantum states, including topological ones, are expected to emerge. Here we report the magnetization of a recently discovered kagome QSL candidate YCu$_3$(OH)$_{6.5}$Br$_{2.5}$ up to 57 T. Above 50 T, a clear magnetization plateau at 1/3 of the saturation moment of Cu$^{2+}$ ions is observed, supporting that this material provides an ideal platform for the kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Remarkably, we found another magnetization plateau around 20 T, which is attributed to the 1/9 plateau. The temperature dependence of this plateau reveals the distinct spin gap, whose magnitude estimated by the plateau width is approximately 10% of the exchange interaction. The observation of 1/9 and 1/3 plateaus highlights the emergence of novel states in quantum spin systems.

description: In order to investigate into the laser ignition process for a multi-injector configuration under low pressure conditions, a test campaign at the M3.1 test bench of the DLR Institute of Space Propulsion in Lampoldshausen was realized. Two fundamental laser-based ignition concepts were tested: The laser-plasma based ignition LPI and the laser-ablation based ignition LAI. The former is realized by the generation of a spark by focusing the laser pulse directly into the propellants, whereas the latter is realized by focusing the laser onto an ablation surface. The potential applications of fibre-based ignition systems are discussed.

title: Anlegerschutz im Investmentfondsrecht
Creators: name: Kwapil, Eva Viktoria
Year: 2009

description: Das österreichische Investmentfondsgesetz gilt als Gesetz, welches für den Kleinanleger konzipiert wurde. Auch der Laie, der nicht besonders erfahrene Anleger, der über kein großes Anlagekapital verfügt, soll die Möglichkeit haben, den Kapitalmarkt zu nutzen. Diesem Ziel entsprechend findet der Gedanke des Anlegerschutzes eine umfassende Berücksichtigung im österreichischen Investmentfondsgesetz. Die vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet die Ausgestaltung des Anlegerschutzes. Ausgangspunkt ist der Begriff des kapitalmarktrechtlichen Anlegerschutzes, der sowohl Individual-, als auch Funktionenschutz ist, und auf die Risiken, denen der Anleger bei einer Investition am Kapitalmarkt unterliegt, eingeht. Diese Risiken sind insbesondere das Substanzrisiko, das Informationsrisiko, das Verwaltungsrisiko, das Interessensvertretungsrisiko und das Konditionenrisiko. Die Normen des österreichischen Investmentfondsrechts begegnen diesen Risiken und werden entsprechend ihrer Zielrichtung in der vorliegenden Arbeit zu fünf Säulen zusammengefasst. Die Gesamtheit der fünf Säulen – die Normen zur Aufsicht und Organisation, zur institutionellen Trennung von Verwaltung und Verwahrung, zur Anlageverwaltung, zur Publizität und zum Exit, also dem Ausstieg aus dem Fond – repräsentiert das Anlegerschutzkonzept im österreichischen Investmentfondsrecht. Doch erst die eingehende und systematische Untersuchung der einzelnen Normen lässt eine Gesamtaussage über das Konzept des Anlegerschutzes zu; dies ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Arbeit.

description: Data assimilation (DA) plays a crucial role in extracting valuable information from flow measurements in fluid dynamics problems. Often only time-averaged data is available, which poses challenges for DA in the context of unsteady flow problems. Recent works have shown promising results in optimizing Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations of stationary flows using sparse data through variational data assimilation, enabling the reconstruction of mean flow profiles.
 In this study we perform three-dimensional variational data assimilation of sparse time-averaged data into an unsteady RANS (URANS) simulation by means of a stationary divergence-free forcing term in the URANS equations. Efficiency and speed of our method are enhanced by employing coarse URANS simulations and leveraging the stationary discrete adjoint method for the time-averaged URANS equations. The data assimilation codes were developed in-house using OpenFOAM for the URANS simulations as well as for the solution of the adjoint problem, and Python for the gradient-based optimization.
 Our results demonstrate that data assimilation of sparse time-averaged velocity measurements not only enables accurate mean flow reconstruction, but also improves the flow dynamics, specifically the vortex shedding frequency. To validate the efficacy of our approach, we applied it to turbulent flows around cylinders of various shapes at Reynolds numbers ranging from 3000 to 22000. Our findings indicate that data points near the cylinder play a crucial role in improving the vortex shedding frequency, while additional data points further downstream are necessary to also reconstruct the time-averaged velocity field in the wake region.

description: This thesis aims to ethnographically explore how the digital distribution and videogame platform ‘Steam’ is shaping the domestic configurations of Melbourne (Australia) households. It seeks to analyse several forms of configuration—spatial, temporal and social—through the focal point of the Steam platform. Steam is the largest global online platform that sells and runs games, and is increasingly impacting the types of games we buy and play. In particular, the research attends to the role the Australian National Broadband Network (NBN) takes in how Steam is being played in Melbourne domestic spaces. To understand Steam in Melbourne households this thesis requires an interdisciplinary approach. It does so by attending to the intersecting debates across digital ethnography, games, media and platform studies. Through employing ethnographic methods to examine Melbourne households, this thesis seeks to frame Steam practices within a broader media and social ecology of domestic space. By generating insight into the roles and influences of Steam within Melbourne households, it contributes to academic discussions of the relationship between new media, its users and the domestic space of the household.

description: In this Perspective article we report on recent progress on studies of synthetic dimensions, mostly, but not only, based on the research realized around the Barcelona groups (ICFO, UAB), Donostia (DIPC), Poznań (UAM), Kraków (UJ), and Allahabad (HRI). The concept of synthetic dimensions works particularly well in atomic physics, quantum optics, and photonics, where the internal degrees of freedom (Zeeman sublevels of the ground state, metastable excited states, or motional states for atoms, and angular momentum states or transverse modes for photons) provide the synthetic space. We describe our attempts to design quantum simulators with synthetic dimensions, to mimic curved spaces, artificial gauge fields, lattice gauge theories, twistronics, quantum random walks, and more.

description: This study deals with the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the film cooling technique at the trailing edge of a transonic vane equipped with a pressure side cutback. This configuration was studied experimentally at DLR within the framework of the European project AITEB-2. The cooling air is blown through a long slot and two rib arrays are placed inside the coolant channel to increase the stiffness of the thin trailing edge region. The simulation is first validated against global quantities such as the discharge coefficient and the blowing ratio as well as local quantities such as the isentropic Mach number and the adiabatic effectiveness. Then LES results are used to connect the flow dynamics to the adiabatic effectiveness observed in the cutback region. The interesting point is that the spatial period of the adiabatic effectiveness patterns, observed experimentally and numerically, is not the separation distance S in the spanwise direction between two consecutive ribs but is approximately 4S . 3D flow visualizations highlight different physical phenomena present in the internal channel such as a separated flow at certain locations behind the diffuser array. It is shown that this separation is caused by a Coanda effect forcing the flow to follow the curvature of a profiled rib at some specific locations. This mechanism is used to explain the inhomogeneities observed in the spanwise direction for the adiabatic effectiveness. The separation regions behind the diffuser array cause an early attachment of the main flow to the cutback surface, detected with the skin friction lines, causing a rapid decrease of the the adiabatic effectiveness. This non-uniform film, generated by such a diffuser array, may affect the thermal behavior of the trailing edge.

description: We present the $νϕ$MTH, a Mirror Twin Higgs (MTH) model realizing asymmetric reheating, baryogenesis and twin-baryogenesis through the out-of-equilibrium decay of a right-handed neutrino without any hard $\mathbb{Z}_2$ breaking. The MTH is the simplest Neutral Naturalness solution to the little hierarchy problem and predicts the existence of a twin dark sector related to the Standard Model (SM) by a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry that is only softly broken by a higher twin Higgs vacuum expectation value. The asymmetric reheating cools the twin sector compared to the visible one, thus evading cosmological bounds on $ΔN_{\mathrm{eff}}$. The addition of (twin-)colored scalars allows for the generation of the visible baryon asymmetry and, by the virtue of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, also results in the generation of a twin baryon asymmetry. We identify a unique scenario with top-philic couplings for the new scalars that can satisfy all cosmological, proton decay and LHC constraints; yield the observed SM baryon asymmetry; and generate a wide range of possible twin baryon DM fractions, from negligible to unity. The viable regime of the theory contains several hints as to the possible structure of the Twin Higgs UV completion. Our results motivate the search for the rich cosmological and astrophysical signatures of twin baryons, and atomic dark matter more generally, at cosmological, galactic and stellar scales.

description: Process Drawing is a doctoral research in search of the content of form. This research is conducted through observational hand-drawings with an awareness of the subjectivity of standpoint, the ambiguity of what we observe and how we represent those observations.

The presented research extends boundaries between observation, registration and representation. As such a performative environment is activated between the observer and the observed in an attempt to engage with context in a manner which does not reduce the complexity of the specific situation and enabling a tacit understanding of what is present.

Process Drawing allows one to trespass beyond what is visible and arrive in a speculative, performative environment that propels one’s spatial intelligence necessary to respond.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit thematisiert das Subjektivitätsverständnis von Wilfried Lippitz in erzieherischen Kontexten. Es kommt dabei ausgehend von einer subjektanalytischen Perspektivierung auf die Selbstbeschreibungsformel des Menschen als Subjekt zunächst Lippitz’ Erziehungsverständnis in den Blick. Daran anschließend werden Lippitz’ Studien hinsichtlich seiner Ausführungen zu Subjekten in der Erziehung befragt. Der Weg führt in beiden Hauptkapiteln entlang derselben Markierungen von Alterität, Dezentrierung und Temporalität. Diese Wegweiser ermöglichen einen analytisch-systematisierenden Gang durch Lippitz’ Studien und verweisen auf bedeutsame Momente seines Subjektivitätsverständnisses. Wiederkehrend werden seine Argumente zur kantischen Fassung der Erziehung und Subjektvorstellung als einem als klassisch bezeichneten Modell einer Subjektphilosophie in Differenz gesetzt, wodurch der erziehungsphilosophische Blick für einen Diskurs des Zwischen, der – in Anlehnung an Lévinas – menschliche Existenz (und damit auch erzieherische Einsätze) als Antwortgeschehen in ihrer ethischer Bedeutung fasst, geöffnet wird.
description: This study at hand raises the question of Wilfried Lippitz’ understandig of subjectivity in educational contexts. A subject analysis perspective projects a particular view of the notion of the human (self-)concept as human subject. It calls into question the idea of the subject as sovereign and autonomous. The first part of this study provides an explanation of Lippitz’ concept of education, followed by an outline of his particular view on subjectivity in educational matters. In order to reach an understanding of Lippitz’ thoughts on educational theory and practice and subjectivity in educational contexts, this study draws out certain concepts outlined in his studies: in particular the concepts of alterity, of decentering moments and of temporality. These concepts are visited in both main chapters of the study at hand, emphasizing the links between Lippitz’ understanding of education and subjectivity. In order to explain Lippitz’ perspective on educational philosophy, his arguments are contrasted with the so-called classical understanding of subjectivity in Immanuel Kant’s tradition. Following the notion of ethical dimensions outlined by Emmanuel Lévinas, this allows for a broader view of the in-between of human existence.

In addition, Saudi Arabian petrol stations utilise traditional petrol operational processes that include manually measuring petrol levels in tanks, testing for leaks and book-based accounting processes to minimise cost And Increase profit.

Moreover, considering that approximately 90% of Saudi Arabian petrol stations are operated and managed by individuals, either locals or expatriates, this intensity to compete causes serious problems such as mixing petrol products to reduce petrol prices and thus, attract customers; defrauding petrol pump meters; wasting petroleum resources; and, petrol smuggling to nearby countries, leading to a shortage in petrol products in the domestic market. On the basis of the literature reviewed, this is considered as a source of uncertainty and quality problems that will consequently impact budgets and schedules. Hence, this study diagnoses and explores the key factors that influence the Saudi Arabian petrol supply chain to answer the research question, ‘how do the technological, organisational and environmental aspects of the Saudi Arabian petroleum industry impact on petroleum supply chain integration?’

description: The growth of global consumption has motivated important applications of deep learning to smart manufacturing and machine health monitoring. In particular, analyzing vibration data offers great potential to extract meaningful insights into predictive maintenance by the detection of bearing faults. Deep learning can be a powerful method to predict these mechanical failures; however, they lack generalizability to new tasks or datasets and require expensive, labeled mechanical data. We address this by presenting a novel self-supervised pretraining and fine-tuning framework based on transformer models. In particular, we investigate different tokenization and data augmentation strategies to reach state-of-the-art accuracies using transformer models. Furthermore, we demonstrate self-supervised masked pretraining for vibration signals and its application to low-data regimes, task adaptation, and dataset adaptation. Pretraining is able to improve performance on scarce, unseen training samples, as well as when fine-tuning on fault classes outside of the pretraining distribution. Furthermore, pretrained transformers are shown to be able to generalize to a different dataset in a few-shot manner. This introduces a new paradigm where models can be pretrained on unlabeled data from different bearings, faults, and machinery and quickly deployed to new, data-scarce applications to suit specific manufacturing needs.

description: This paper opens an exciting new opportunity of new aircraft concepts specifically targeting to have higher aerodynamic efficiency than conventional designs through the synergistic interaction between the propeller and the wing. Previous literature on propeller and wing performance analysis methods provide a platform on theory description behind the aerodynamic modeling approach selected. The research effort began with attempts to verify previous NASA wind-tunnel tests (TN D-4448) on a medium and short wing span propeller-driven, short take off and landing (STOL) transport aircraft. One prediction is employed on isolated performance of the wing without the propellers and another is to capture one-way coupling, specifically the effect of the propeller slipstream on the wing. For the first decoupled analysis configuration, the vortex lattice model (VLM) technical tools comparison was made with the Athena Vortex Lattice (AVL) and VSPAERO. Next, the propeller and the wing interaction is predicted using three different coupling methods. The first stage of the work is based on VSPAERO solver which combined the actuator disk theory with VLM. The second approach is to compare with the in house code of blade element and lifting line theory (LLT) coupling. Thirdly, to couple the same BET model with VLM to capture the aerodynamics performance and the influence of the propeller on the wing with the aim to determine the lift and induced drag of the configuration. Perhaps the most compelling aspect offered by the technical tools selected is being economic; low computational cost and time. The numerical computation results of the model presented a good correlation with the experimental data. The aerodynamic model developed will be a strong base for more complex analysis and even greater efficiency improvements for a conceptual design studies of future distributed propeller aircraft .

description: Despite the genre of farce being old fashioned, it can still pull an audience and make money. This can be shown in the recent box office blockbusters, Bridesmaids (2011) and The Hangover (2009–2013) franchise. Yet, there is a gap in the literature on farce screenwriting, both academically and within industry/professional discourse. For example, despite there being numerous books and texts on comedy theory and comedy writing, there are only a few dozens of available books on theatrical farce. This gap in literature is highlighted in order to help inform comedy and/or genre researchers, and also farce practitioners, which in this case alludes to the screenwriter.

This research-led practice PhD in screenwriting consists of two parts: a feature film screenplay, The Wedding Jackpot, and an accompanying critical dissertation that explores, analyses and reflects on the creative process. The screenplay is written in the genre of farce comedy, and explores the efforts of a young woman to find a fake fiancé. The dissertation provides a framework in understanding, guiding and applying farce techniques to the practice of screenwriting.

Since there is limited analysis and research from screenwriting and comedy theorists, research led me to the key theatrical genre theorists: Eric Bentley, Albert Bermel and Jessica Milner Davis. Audiences, critics and academics do not generally acknowledge what they are watching as a farce, most preferring to simply categorise it as comedy. Current other types of comedy, including slapstick, satire and parody, feature components of farce. Indeed, some theorists consider these to originate from farce.

In this PhD then, Bentley’s ten farce elements have been analysed, compiled and narrowed down to six principles, designed to inform the screenwriter: violence; mocking; humour; plot; characters; and, pacing. I then apply these principles to the analysis of a contemporary produced screenplay case study, Bridesmaids, in order to further understand and examine the mechanisms of farce screenwriting.

Finally, I apply the theories and techniques under examination to a discussion of the screenwriting process that I use in my own screenplay. In the Conclusion, I highlight two new story devices that I have created: The Farce Scatter Graph Line Chart and The Ping Pong Method. Through this process, my findings seek to address the current gap in the field of farce screenwriting studies, which I hope can be of use to other screenwriters, novelists and authors across different literary and screen forms.

description: We have recently proposed that supercritical colliding wind binaries (SCWBs) are suitable scenarios for particle acceleration and nonthermal radiation. In these X-ray binary systems (XRBs), the wind from the companion star collides with the wind ejected from the super-Eddington accretion disk of the stellar black hole. Strong shocks are generated in this collision, leading to the acceleration of particles and subsequent broadband emission through different nonthermal radiative processes. In particular, we estimate luminosities of the order of $L\approx 10^{34}\,{\rm erg\,s^{-1}}$ in the radio band. One of the major components in these processes is the power provided by the super wind expelled from the disk. Furthermore, some properties of the wind photosphere, such as its geometry or its temperature distribution, also contribute to the absorption and reprocessing of the nonthermal radiation. In this work, we perform a more detailed description of the powerful wind launched from the accretion disk, in order to obtain a better understanding of the above-mentioned processes.

description: Die Arbeit behandelt die Frühgeschichte Venedigs vom 6. bis zum 9. Jahrhundert. Dabei steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, in welcher Beziehung die Siedlungen der venezianischen Lagune zum Byzantinischen Reich standen. In der äußersten Peripherie des Reiches gelegen, vermochte Venedig im Lauf des achten Jahrhunderts einen hohen Grad an Autonomie zu erreichen, blieb in den verschiedensten Bereichen aber dennoch Teil des byzantinischen Kulturkreises. Spätestens in der Mitte des 9. Jahrhunderts ist die Loslösung von Konstantinopel weitgehend abgeschlossen, Venedig agiert auch außenpolitisch fast vollständig autonom, nicht zuletzt durch die intensive Einbindung in den Fernhandel mit dem Orient.

description: Transthyretin (TTR) is a protein that binds and distributes thyroid hormones (THs). While TTR has long been known to be synthesised in the liver and in the choroid plexus of the brain, recent investigation have revealed that it is also synthesised by different neuronal cells, such as neurons, astrocytes, transit amplifying cells and Schwann cells. To the best of our knowledge, the roles of TTR synthesised by these neuronal cells have not yet been clearly elucidated. The TTR synthesised by the choroid plexus has a role in moving THs from the blood to the brain and in distributing THs in the cerebrospinal fluid. Previously two reports suggested that TTR null mice were hypothyroid in the central nervous system compared with wild-type mice. Therefore, we decided to investigate a well-characterised TH-dependent process in the brains of wild type and TTR null mice: the maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells into oligodendrocytes that myelinate axons of neurons in the corpus callosum and anterior commissure of the brain. Accordingly, four different age groups were chosen (P7, P14, P21 and weeks) to investigate key time points for oligodendrocyte maturation in the brains of wild type and TTR null mice. Interestingly, in complete contrast to what we expected, we observed hypermyelination in the brains of the TTR null mice during development. This hypermyelination phenotype was synchronous with a substantial increase in the density of oligodendrocytes in the medial area of the corpus callosum and in the anterior commissure during development from P7 until 12 weeks of age. Thus, we studied the maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) isolated from the cortices of P7 and E18 mouse brains. Interestingly, we found that the absence of TTR enhanced the proliferation and migration of the OPCs, as well as decreased the rate of apoptosis and affected the progression of the OPC cycle. Furthermore, the NSCs isolated from the subventricular zone of P21 TTR null mice showed that the absence of TTR promoted NSC differentiation into glial lineages. We have also shown, for the first time, that oligodendrocytes synthesise TTR, and the TTR synthesised by OPCs is not secreted. This is in contrast to TTR synthesised by the liver and choroid plexus (which is secreted). Taken together, these data indicate that TTR has a role in the regulation of myelination; where the absence of TTR accelerates NSC and OPC maturation and enhances myelination. Therefore, We hypothesised that endogenous TTR, which has been shown to be synthesised by OPCs, holds T4 in the cytosol of the cells; this controls the level of T4 available for deiodinated to T3, the functional form of THs. Elucidation the mechanism of the regulatory role of TTR in NSC and OPC biology could lead to potential therapeutic strategies for treatment of demyelination disease such as Multiple Sclerosis.
