description: It has been reported in the literature that thermal treatment of calcium phosphate ceramics chemically alters the surface composition by phosphate evaporation. To predict the compositional changes, we have developed a thermodynamic model for the evaporation of phosphorous species from CPP, TCP, HA, and TetCP. In an open atmosphere, the model predicts the formation of a surface layer consisting of a sequence of increasingly phosphate-depleted phases. In a closed system, the atmosphere reaches equilibrium with a single-phase surface layer. To verify our model, we performed a series of experiments which confirmed the predicted formation of phosphate-depleted surface layers. These experiments further demonstrated that controlled supersaturation of the atmosphere led to formation of a phosphate-enriched surface layer as a result of phosphate condensation. In conclusion, our thermodynamic model is capable of predicting the surface modification by phosphate evaporation and condensation of calcium phosphate phases during high-temperature processing in different environments.

description: Rechtliche Verantwortung ist in einer verstrickten Weltgesellschaft zunehmend umstritten. Insbesondere das Verhältnis von mittelbarer und unmittelbarer Verursachung und daraus folgender Verantwortung scheint in Frage zu stehen, wo die Ermöglichung schädigender Handlungen zentral für deren Geschehen ist, gleichzeitig aber in diffus verteilten aggregierten Einzelhandlungen nicht eindeutig zuzuordnen ist. In unterschiedlichen Rechtsgebieten zeigen sich unterschiedliche Interpretationen von ermöglichendem Handeln, die Willen, bzw. Intention, und Wissen für die Zurechnung mittelbarer Verantwortung unterschiedlich gewichten. Dies deutet auf die Brüchigkeit unserer gegenwärtigen Begriffe unmittelbarer und mittelbarer Verantwortung hin, und wirft die Frage auf, wie diese in einer zunehmend auch reflexiv verflochtenen Weltgesellschaft neu verhandelt werden.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Obdachlosigkeit aus historischer und gegenwärtiger Sicht in Wien. Diese beschreibt Charaktereigenschaften, Stigmatisierungen und die jeweilige gesellschaftliche Auffassung von obdachlosen Menschen. Als Ausgangspunkt dieser Untersuchung wird die Entstehungszeit und Bedeutung des Begriffes, vor allem die damit verbundenen gesellschaftlichen Normen, anhand sozialhistorischer Kriterien untersucht. Die Einträge der zeitgenössischen Lexika wurden hierfür analysiert und ausgewertet. Das Ergebnis dieser Untersuchung zeigt eine deutliche Diskrepanz zwischen der historischen und gegenwärtigen Definition von Obdachlosigkeit. In der aktuellen Literatur verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Obdachlosen, Vaganten, Landstreicher, Bettler, Schlaf- und Bettgeher etc. oft. Diese Arbeit bietet einen neuen Ansatz für diesen Untersuchungsgegenstand an und grenzt sich bewusst von der Verwendung vermischter Definitionen ab. Der Begriff Obdachlosigkeit entsteht in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Zu dieser Zeit stellte das Wohnen ohne Wohnung keine außergewöhnliche Erscheinung dar und war eine gesellschaftlich anerkannte und akzeptierte Praxis. Das Aufkommen eines eigenen Terminus verweist auf eine veränderte Wahrnehmung gegenüber Menschen ohne ausreichenden Wohnraum. Die Studie folgt daher folgender Hypothese: Der Begriff war zum Zeitpunkt des Aufkommens nicht durch stigmatisierende Eigenschaften geprägt und stellte vielmehr einen arbeitenden, jedoch verarmten Teil der Bevölkerung dar. Diese Menschen konnten die finanziellen Mittel für eine eigene Wohnung nicht aufbringen und mussten in den aufkommenden Heimen, oder als Bett- und Schlafgeher bei Fremden, übernachten. Bereits zur Jahrhundertwende erhält der Terminus eine negative Konnotation, die sich teilweise bis heute gehalten hat. Ein weiterer und wesentlicher Bereich stellt die Analyse der Obdachlosenasyle und der auf der Straße lebenden Menschen, Obdachlose im gesellschaftlichen Sprachgebrauch, dar. Neben der historischen Aufarbeitung dieser Thematik bietet diese Studie auch einen Vergleich zu der gegenwärtigen Situation in Wien an. Im Mittelpunkt steht die differenzierte Betrachtung und Betreuung obdachloser Menschen. Anhand narrativer Interviews werden bestehende Ansichten, Praktiken und auch der gesellschaftlicher Umgang aus der Sicht der Betroffenen dargestellt.

description: Z przyjemnością przekazujemy w ręce czytelników pierwszy z dwu obszernych tomów będących plonem Międzynarodowej Konferencji Naukowej „Przemiany formu-ły emancypacji kobiet od XVII wieku do dwudziestolecia międzywojennego”, obradu-jącej w Białymstoku w Pałacu Branickich i na Wydziale Filologicznym Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku w dniach 26-27 września 2013 roku. Było to doniosłe spotkanie zarów-no pod względem naukowym, jak i towarzyskim. Tomy obu monografii ukazują się po trzech latach z przyczyn losowych, ale też merytorycznych. Wspaniałe, międzynaro-dowe spotkanie stu dwudziestu badaczy z Polski, Białorusi, Ukrainy, Szwajcarii, Sta-nów Zjednoczonych i Litwy trudno przekuć w spójną pracę tak pod względem kompo-zycyjnym, jak i językowym. Chcieliśmy, by jak najwięcej z prac napisanych po ukraiń-sku lub białorusku, rosyjsku, można było przedstawić polskiemu czytelnikowi w jego własnym języku. Prawie w całości to niełatwe, wymagające czasu i nakładów, zadanie się powiodło. Prace o idei emancypacji kobiet i jej przemianach podzielono na dwie grupy. Te z tomu pierwszego ukazują zjawisko z perspektywy środkowo- i wschodnioeuropejskiej. Te zebrane w tomie drugim – z perspektywy polskiej, co nie wyklucza jednak spojrzeń badaczy zagranicznych na tak określony krąg problemowy. Pierwsza z monografii uruchamia więc dość szeroką, środkowoeuropejską per-spektywę oglądu zjawiska emancypacji kobiet. Istotę opisanych tu zjawisk trafnie od-dają zdania Gabrieli Zapolskiej z książki-manifestu Głos kobiet w kwestyi kobiecej (1903): „Kobieta jest w tej chwili takim bojownikiem o niepodległość. Idzie powoli i wy-trwale walcząc, niosąc jako puklerz nie swoją siłę, ale właśnie skargę uciemiężonego – i zdobywa szrank po szranku. Z hieretycznego krzesła kasztelanek, od krosien, na któ-rych wyszywała perłami i łzami mszalne stroje – podniosła się, stanęła nagle przy stole uczty życiowej, wyciągając rękę nie po wiązankę róż, których miała dosyć w swej sypialni, nie po kielich złocisty, bo ten ją nie nęcił – lecz po księgę mądrości, po księgę wiedzy i po księgę praw, aby dojrzeć, co tam o niej w tym kodeksie napisano. Zdumie-nie ogarnęło mężczyzn (...)” (Piękno w życiu kobiety). I takie właśnie – często też zdumiewające – są interpretacje, przedłożone w pre-zentowanej księdze. Zarysowują one śmiałą i długofalową dynamikę ruchu emancypa-cyjnego w Europie Środkowej i Wschodniej, począwszy od XVIII wieku, a na współ-czesności skończywszy. Wypada wyrazić nadzieję, iż prace tu zgromadzone zainspiru-ją badaczy do szczegółowych rozpoznań zjawiska, które jest jednym z najważniejszych trendów kultury także w XXI wieku.

description: The genomics approach to materials, heralded by increasingly accurate density functional theory (DFT) calculations conducted on thousands of crystalline compounds, has led to accelerated material discovery and property predictions. However, so far amorphous materials have been largely excluded from this as these systems are notoriously difficult to simulate. Here we study amorphous Ta$_2$O$_5$ thin films mixed with Al$_2$O$_3$, SiO$_2$, Sc$_2$O$_3$, TiO$_2$, ZnO, ZrO$_2$, Nb$_2$O$_5$ and HfO$_2$ to identify their crystalline structure upon post-deposition annealing in air both experimentally and with simulations. Using the Materials Project open database, phase diagrams based on DFT calculations are constructed for the mixed oxide systems and the annealing process is evaluated via grand potential diagrams with varying oxygen chemical potential. Despite employing calculations based on crystalline bulk materials, the predictions agree well with the experimentally observed crystallized phases of the amorphous films. Only in two cases the database leads to incorrect predictions: in TiO$_2$-doped Ta$_2$O$_5$ because it does not contain a ternary compound found experimentally, and in Sc$_2$O$_3$-doped Ta$_2$O$_5$ because DFT overestimates the formation enthalpy difference between Sc$_2$O$_3$ and Ta$_2$O$_5$ and thus does not reproduce observed oxygen competition effects. In the absence of ternary phases, the dopant acts as an amorphizer agent increasing the thermal stability of Ta$_2$O$_5$. These results show that DFT calculations can be applied for the prediction of crystallized structures of annealed amorphous materials. This could pave the way for accelerated \textit{in silico} material discovery and property predictions using the powerful genomic approach for amorphous oxide coatings employed in a wide range of applications such as optical coatings, energy storage and electronic devices.

description: This dataset provides rheometric data of three viscous materials used for centrifuge experiments at the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory of CNR-IGG at the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Florence (Italy). The first material, PP45, is a mixture of a silicone (Polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS SGM36) and plasticine (Giotto Pongo). The PDMS is produced by Dow Corning and its characteristics are described by e.g. Rudolf et al. 2016a,b). Giotto Pongo is produced by FILA (Italy). Both components are mixed following a weight ratio of 100:45, and the final mixture has a density of 1520 kg m3. The second material, SCA705 is a mixture of Dow Corning 3179 putty, mixed with fine corundum sand and oleic acid with a weight ratio of 100:70:05 and a resulting density of 1660 kg m3. The final material, SCA7020 consists of the same components as SCA705, but with a slightly higher oleic acid content reflected in the weight ratio of 100:70:20. The mixture’s density is 1620 kg m3. The material samples have been analyzed in the Helmholtz Laboratory for Tectonic Modelling (HelTec) at GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam using an Anton Paar Physica MCR 301 rheometer in a plate-plate configuration at room temperature (20 ̊C). Rotational (controlled shear rate) tests with shear rates varying from 10-4 to 1 s-1 were performed. Additional temperature tests were run with shear rates between 10-2 to 10-1 s-1 for a temperature range between 15 and 30 ̊C. According to our rheometric analysis, the materials all exhibit shear thinning behavior, with high power law exponents (n-number) for strain rates below 10-2 s-1, while power law exponents are lower above that threshold. For PP45, ther espective n-numbers are 4.8 and 2.6, for SCA705 6.7 and 1.5, and for SCA7020 9.1 and 2.0. The temperature tests show decreasing viscosities with increasing temperatures with rates of -3.8, -1.4 and -1.9% per ̊K for PP45, SCA705 and SCA7020, respectively. An application of the materials tested can be found in Zwaan et al. (2020).

description: This data set includes images and videos depicting the evolution of deformation and topography of 17 analogue experiments c passive margin development, to better understand the ongoing tectonics along the western margin of Afar, East Africa. The tectonic background that forms the basis for the experimental design is found in Zwaan et al. 2019 and 2020a-b, and references therein. The experiments, in an enhanced gravity field in a large-capacity centrifuge, examined the influence of brittle layer thickness, strength contrast, syn-rift sedimentation and oblique extension on a brittle-viscous system with a strong and weak viscous domain. All experiments were performed at the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory of of the Istituto di Geoscience e Georisorse - Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR-IGG) and of the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Florence (CNR/UF). The brittle layer (sand) thickness ranged between 6 and 20 mm, the underlying viscous layer, split in a competent and weak domain (both viscous mixtures), was always 10 mm thick. Asymmetric extension was applied by removing a 1.5 mm thick spacer at the side of the model at every time step, allowing the analogue materials to spread when enhanced gravity was applied during a centrifuge run. Differential stretching of the viscous material creates flexure and faulting in the overlying brittle layer. Total extension amounted to 10.5 mm over 7 intervals for Series 1 models that aimed at understanding generic passive margin development in a generic orthogonal extension setting, whereas up to 16.5 mm of extension was applied for the additional Series 2 models aiming at reproducing the tectonic phases in Afar. In models involving sedimentation, sand was filled in at time steps 2, 4 and 6 (i.e. after 3, 6 and 9 mm of extension). Detailed descriptions of the experiments, monitoring techniques and tectonic interpretation of the model results are presented in Zwaan et al. (2020c) to which these data are supplementary.

description: The plasticity of amorphous solids undergoing shear is characterized by quasi-localized rearrangements of particles. While many models of plasticity exist, the precise relationship between plastic dynamics and the structure of a particle's local environment remains an open question. Previously, machine learning was used to identify a structural predictor of rearrangements, called "softness." Although softness has been shown to predict which particles will rearrange with high accuracy, the method can be difficult to implement in experiments where data is limited and the combinations of descriptors it identifies are often difficult to interpret physically. Here we address both of these weaknesses, presenting two major improvements to the standard softness method. First, we present a natural representation of each particle's observed mobility, allowing for the use of statistical models which are both simpler and provide greater accuracy in limited data sets. Second, we employ persistent homology as a systematic means of identifying simple, topologically-informed, structural quantities that are easy to interpret and measure experimentally. We test our methods on two-dimensional athermal packings of soft spheres under quasi-static shear. We find that the same structural information which predicts small variations in the response is also predictive of where plastic events will localize. We also find that excellent accuracy is achieved in athermal sheared packings using simply a particle's species and the number of nearest neighbor contacts.

description: Despite increasing awareness of global biodiversity loss, we lack quantitative data on local extinctions for many species. This is especially true for rare species, which are typically assessed on the basis of expert judgment rather than data. Revisiting previously assessed populations enables estimation of local extinction rates and the identification of species characteristics and habitats with high local extinction risk. Between 2010 and 2016, in a nationwide revisitation study, 420 volunteer botanists revisited 8,024 populations of the 713 rarest and most threatened plant species in Switzerland recorded between 1960 and 2001. Of the revisited 8,024 populations, 27% had gone locally extinct. Among critically endangered species, the local extinctions increased to 40%. Species from ruderal and freshwater habitat types showed the highest proportion of local extinctions. Our results provide compelling evidence for rapid and widespread local extinctions and suggest that current conservation measures are insufficient. Local extinctions precede and provide early warnings for global extinctions. The ongoing loss of populations suggests that we will lose species diversity unless we scale up species‐targeted conservation and restoration measures, especially in anthropogenic landscapes.

title: Übersetzung von Prajñākaramatis Kommentar zum Bodhicaryāvatāra, 8.1-39
Creators: name: Kleibel, Margarita
Year: 2010

description: Die vorgelegte Diplomarbeit enthält eine deutsche Übersetzung von Prajñākaramatis Kommentar zu den Versen 1–39 des 8. Kapitels des Bodhicaryāvatāra. Beim Bodhicaryāvatāra handelt es sich um ein Sanskrit-Werk aus dem 8. Jahrhundert n. Chr., das dem buddhistischen Mönch Śāntideva zugeschrieben wird. Das Werk enthält eine Anleitung zu einer Lebensweise, mittels der der gläubige Buddhist die Lehre des (Mahāyāna-)Buddhismus verwirklichen kann. Im 8. Kapitel werden verschiedene Meditationsformen beschrieben, die für das Weiterkommen auf dem buddhistischen Pfad unerlässlich sind. Die übersetzte Stelle behandelt eine zentrale Voraussetzung für die erfolgreiche Meditation: das Leben fernab der Gesellschaft, in Abgeschiedenheit und Einsamkeit. Der Autor spricht über seine Sehnsucht nach einem Leben in der Wildnis, in dem er sich ausschließlich der Sammlung seines Geistes widmen kann. Er möchte negative Emotionen, wie Gier oder Hass überwinden, den Kontakt mit Menschen, die schlechte Ziele verfolgen oder schlechte Eigenschaften haben, vermeiden und sein Leben der Nachfolge Buddhas widmen. In seinem Kommentar, der Bodhicaryāvatārapañjikā, kommentiert Prajñākaramati die Verse des Bodhicaryāvatāra. Er zitiert Wörter aus dem Text und erklärt ihre Bedeutung mithilfe von Synonymen oder Umschreibungen. Auch grammatikalische Strukturen und philosophische Inhalte werden auf diese Weise erläutert. Dadurch stellt Prajñākaramatis Kommentar eine wertvolle Hilfe zum Textverständnis dar. Neben der Übersetzung enthält die Arbeit auch eine Edition des Sanskrit- und tibetischen Verstextes, und des tibetischen Kommentartextes der ausgewählten Stelle.
description: This thesis contains a german translation of Prajñākaramati's Commentary, called Bodhicaryāvatārapañjikā, on the verses 1--39 of the 8th chapter of the Bodhicaryāvatāra. The Bodhicaryāvatāra is a work written in Sanskrit in the 8th century A.D. by a buddhist monk called Śāntideva. The 8th chapter is called the „Perfection of Meditation“ (dhyānapāramitā) and treats different types of buddhist meditation. The translated passage is about the importance of the separation from the world, which is a precondition for the meditation practice. The author talks about his desire to leave the community and to live a life of solitude. He wants to get rid of his negative emotions, such as greed and hate, avoid the contact with foolish people and dedicate his life to the succession of the Buddha. Only with this preparation, he would be able to calm his mind and to receive true knowledge. Prajñākaramati comments on the verses by quoting words of the verse and paraphrasing them. He explains the meaning of terms, grammatical structures and philosophical statements. In addition to the translation, this thesis includes an edition of the Sanskrit- and the Tibetan text of the Bodhicaryāvatāra, and the Tibetan text of the commentary of the corresponding passage.

description: As computer programs become ever more complex, software development has shifted from focusing on programming towards focusing on integration. This paper describes a simulation access language (SimAL) that can be used to access and compose software applications over the Internet. Specifically, the framework is developed for the integration of tools for project management applications. The infrastructure allows users to specify and to use existing heterogeneous tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, Microsoft Excel, Primavera Project Planner, and AutoCAD) for simulation of project scenarios. This paper describes the components of the SimAL language and the implementation efforts required in the development of the SimAL framework. An illustration example bringing on-line weather forecasting service for project scheduling and management applications is provided to demonstrate the use of the simulation language and the infrastructure framework.
