description: Während meines Studiums bekam ich durch den Besuch einiger Lehrveranstaltungen, immer mehr das Interesse eine Schulbuchanalyse durchzuführen. In den fachdidaktischen Proseminaren von Univ. Lektor Dr. Christian Sitte wurde mir die Schlüsselfunktion von Schulbüchern – sowohl in Österreich als auch im Vergleich mit ausländischen Beispielen- nahegelegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit wird zwischen dem österreichischen und die türkische Geographie (und Wirtschaftskunde) Unterricht, seiner Ausprägung in den Curricula und in dessen vorgeschlagener Umsetzung in Schulbüchern anhand eines exemplarischen Beispiels angesetzt sein. Eine zusätzliche Motivation für mich ist ferner meine bilinguale Sprachkompetenz, die ich in diese, in der österreichischen Fachdidaktik bislang wenig untersuchte Thematik produktiv einbringen kann. Als zukünftige GWK- Lehrerin fand ich, die während der Arbeit festgestellten inhaltlichen und auch methodischen Aspekte beim Vergleich von türkischen und österreichischen GW - Schulbüchern sehr interessant. Das Schulbuch ist im Fach “Geographie und Wirtschaftskunde” eines von mehreren Schulmedien, welches jedoch auf Grund seiner großen Verbreitung und technisch problemlosen Einsetzbarkeit in den Klassenzimmern das am Häufigsten im Unterricht verwendete Arbeitsmittel. Es wird in der Literatur auch als „Basismedium“ bezeichnet. (vgl. mehrfach bei Sitte Ch. 2001)
description: During my studies I got more and more interest in doing a textbook analysis by attending a few courses. In the professional didactic seminars of Univ. Lecturer Dr. Christian Sitte was suggested to me the key function of school books - both in Austria and in comparison with foreign examples. The present work will be set between Austrian and Turkish geography (and economics) lessons, its expression in the curricula and its proposed implementation in school books using an exemplary example. An additional motivation for me is also my bilingual language competence, which I can productively contribute to this subject, which has so far been little studied in Austrian specialist didactics. As a future GWK- teacher, I found the content-related and also methodological aspects of the comparison of Turkish and Austrian GW school books very interesting. The textbook is one of several school media in the subject of “geography and economics”, but due to its widespread use and technically problem-free usability in classrooms it is the most frequently used tool in class. It is also referred to as the "basic medium" in the literature. (see in Sitte Ch. 2001)

description: Next-generation sequencing applications exposed the limitation of DNA quantity from a small insect like a mosquito using typical extraction protocols. Whole genome amplification could alleviate the issue but it also creates bias in genome representation. Publically available information from various Core Facilities often requires over 500ng input DNA (prohibitive for most small insects). Published articles often do not provide details on input amount for library construction. This lack of transparency is a roadblock for genome study of non-model organisms of which DNA is limited. We provide an improved DNA extraction protocol and low input (10ng) genomic DNA library preparation protocol for studying individual-level genome data of small insects like mosquitoes.

description: Der Tod an sich, ebenso wie die Notwendigkeit nach der Furcht des Todes, sind kontroversiell diskutierte Themen in der Philosophie, die in der Philosophiegeschichte in unterschiedlichster Weise aufgearbeitet worden sind. Sowohl in den stoischen als auch in den epikureischen Betrachtungen wird die Todesfurcht letztlich als irrational eingestuft. Die Allgegenwärtigkeit des Todes ist kein Leid, sondern die unmittelbare und elementare Voraussetzung für ein glückliches Leben im Diesseits. Den Tod „ante oculos habere“ dient als Hilfe und Leitlinie für ein solches. Die stoische und epikureische Philosophie in Bezug auf den Tod widerspricht sich mit der Auffassung des zeitgenössischen Menschen, dass nur dann ein glückliches Leben geführt werden kann, wenn der bevorstehende Tod gänzlich ausblendet wird. Wichtig ist im Kontext der beiden philosophischen Richtungen nicht wie lange man lebt, sondern wie man dieses Leben führt und welchen Werten und Idealen man sich verspricht.

description: We formulate the maximum driving force (MDF) parameter as a descriptor to capture the thermodynamic stability of aqueous surface scale creation over a range of environmental conditions. We use formation free energies, $Δ_f G$s, sourced from high-throughput density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental databases to compute the maximum driving force for a wide variety of materials, including simple oxides, intermetallics, and alloys of varying compositions. We show how to use the MDF to describe trends in aqueous corrosion of nickel thin films determined from experimental linear-sweep-voltometry data. We also show how to account for subsurface oxidation behavior using depth-dependent effective chemical potentials. We anticipate this approach will increase overall understanding of oxide formation on chemically complex multielement alloys, where competing oxide phases can form during transient aqueous corrosion.

description: The pseudofermion functional renormalization group (pffRG) is a computational method for determining zero-temperature phase diagrams of frustrated quantum magnets. In a recent methodological advance, the commonly employed Katanin truncation of the flow equations was extended to include multiloop corrections, thereby capturing additional contributions from the three-particle vertex [ arXiv:2011.01268 , arXiv:2011.01269 ]. This development has also stimulated significant progress in the numerical implementation of pffRG, allowing one to track the evolution of pseudofermion vertices under the renormalization group flow with unprecedented accuracy. However, cutting-edge solvers differ in their integration algorithms, heuristics to discretize Matsubara frequency grids, and more. To lend confidence in the numerical robustness of state-of-the-art multiloop pffRG codes, we present and compare results produced with two independently developed and algorithmically distinct solvers for Heisenberg models on three-dimensional lattice geometries. Using the cubic lattice Heisenberg (anti)ferromagnet with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions as a generic benchmark model, we find the two codes to quantitatively agree, often up to several orders of magnitude in digital precision, both on the level of spin-spin correlation functions and renormalized fermionic vertices for varying loop orders. These benchmark calculations further substantiate the usage of multiloop pffRG solvers to tackle unconventional forms of quantum magnetism.

title: Large-scale isolation and characterization of prenylated flavonoids from the root bark of Morus alba
Creators: name: Rumpold, Roland Christian
Year: 2020

description: Mit weltweit ungefähr 650.000 Todesfällen durch Influenza und 1,6 Millionen Todesfällen durch Pneumokokken pro Jahr, stellt die Behandlung der respiratorischen Erkrankungen ausgelöst durch dieser beiden Erreger eine große Herausforderung dar (WHO, 2020a, 2020b). In jüngsten Studien zeigten prenylierte Flavonoide aus der Maulbeerbaumwurzelrinde (Morus alba L.) eine hemmende Wirkung in vitro auf beide Krankheitserreger – Influenzavirus und Pneumokokken. Dies könnte in Zukunft eine wirksame Behandlungsstrategie darstellen. Um jedoch eine ausreichende Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit nachzuweisen, sowie Kenntnisse über Pharmakokinetik und Pharmakodynamik zu erhalten, sind in vivo Modelle erforderlich. Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit war es daher, eine Methode zur Isolierung prenylierter Verbindungen aus der Maulbeerbaumwurzelrinde im Großmaßstab zu entwickeln, um die gewonnen Reinstoffe für in vivo Studien zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Grundlage für diese Arbeit bildeten Fraktionen, die aus einer groben Auftrennung einer früheren Diplomarbeit bereits vorhanden waren. Unter Verwendung von Flash Chromatographie, Massenspektrometrie (MS) und nuklearen Magnetresonanz (NMR) Spektroskopie wurden vier Reinsubstanzen, namentlich Sanggenon C, D, G und Kuwanon L und eine semi-aufgereinigte Verbindung (Sanggenon O) in ausreichenden Mengen erfolgreich isoliert und strukturell identifiziert.
description: Respiratory infections due to influenza viruses and/or pneumococci are causing approximately 2.2 million deaths annually worldwide. Consequently, finding a treatment against these pathogens remains an ongoing challenge. In recent studies, prenylated flavonoids, constituents of the white mulberry root bark (Morus alba L.), showed an in vitro inhibitory effect against influenza A virus as well as Streptococcus pneumoniae. This renders the plant material a highly promising starting point for the development of a herbal remedy. However, in order to prove sufficient effectiveness and safety, to obtain knowledge about pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, in vivo models are required. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to develop a method for the large scale isolation of prenylated compounds of the mulberry root bark and to make them available for in vivo studies in sufficient amounts. This work is based on enriched fractions produced during an earlier diploma thesis. By means of flash chromatography, mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, four pure compounds, namely sanggenon C, D, G and kuwanon L and one semi-pure compound, i.e. sanggenon O, have been successfully isolated in sufficient amounts and structurally identified.

Electron-phonon coupling constant and BCS ratios in (La,Nd)-H superhydride

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Stoichiometric near room-temperature superconductors (i.e., $H_3S$ and $LaH_{10}$) exhibit so high ground state upper critical field, $B_{c2}(0)>100 T$, that the magnetic phase diagram in these materials cannot be measured in non-destructive experiments. However, recently, Semenok et al (arXiv2203.06500) proposed the idea to explore full magnetic phase diagram in NRTS samples in which the superconducting order parameter is suppressed by the magnetic element doping. If the element is uniformly distributed in the material, then the theory of the electron-phonon mediated superconductivity predicts the suppression of the order parameter in three-dimensional s-wave superconductor. Semenok et al (arXiv2203.06500) experimentally proved this idea by substituting La with the magnetic rare earth Nd in the $La_{1-x}Nd_{x}H_{10-y}$. As a result, $T_c$ in the $La_{1-x}Nd_{x}H_{10-y}$ (x=0.09) decreases to Tc~120 K, and the upper critical field decreases to $B_{c2}(T=41 K)=55 T$. While the exact hydrogen content should be further established in the $La_{1-x}Nd_{x}H_{10-y}$ (because similar $T_c$ suppression was observed in hydrogen deficient $LaH_{10-y}$ reported by Drozdov et al (2019 Nature 569 528)), a significant part of the full magnetic phase diagram for $La_{1-x}Nd_{x}H_{10-y}$ (x=0.09) was measured. Here we analyzed reported Semenok et al (arXiv2203.06500) data for $La_{1-x}Nd_{x}H_{10-y}$ (x=0.09) compressed at P=180 GPa and deduced: (a) Debye temperature, $T_θ=1156 K$; (b) the electron-phonon coupling constant, $λ_{e-ph}=1.65$; (c) the ground state superconducting energy gap, $Δ(0)=20.2 meV$; (d) the gap-to-transition temperature ratio, $2Δ(0)/k_BT_c=4.0$; and (e) the relative jump in specific heat at $T_c$, $ΔC/C=1.68$. The deduced values indicate that $La_{1-x}Nd_{x}H_{10-y}$ (x=0.09; P=180 GPa) is moderately strong coupled s-wave superconductor.

Adaptive Multi-Objective Operating Room Planning with Stochastic Demand and Case Times

Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Operational Research

description: The operating room (OR) is accountable for most hospital admissions and is one of the most cost and work intensive areas in the hospital. From recent trends, we discover an unexpected parallel increase in expenditure and waiting time. Therefore, improving OR planning has become obligatory, particularly regarding utilization, and service level. Significant challenges in OR planning are the high variations in demand, processing times of surgical specialties, the trade-off between the objectives, and control of OR performance in long-term. Our model provides OR configurations at a strategical level of OR planning to minimize the tradeoff between the utilization and service level accounting for variation in both demand and processing times of surgical specialties. An adaptive control scheme is proposed to aid OR managers to maintain the OR performance within the prescribed controllable limits. Our model is validated using a simulation of demand and processing time data of surgical services at University of Kentucky Health Care.

description: We bring together the semiclassical approximation, matrix integrals and the theory of symmetric polynomials in order to solve a long standing problem in the field of quantum chaos: to compute transport moments when tunnel barriers are present and the number of open channels, $M$, is small. In contrast to previous approaches, ours is non-perturbative in $M$; instead, we arrive at an explicit expression in the form of a power series in the barrier's reflectivity, whose coefficients are rational functions of $M$. For general moments we must require that the barriers are equal and time reversal symmetry is broken, but for conductance we treat the general situation. Our method accounts for exponentially small non-perturbative terms that were not accessible to previous semiclassical approaches. We also show how to include more than two leads in the system.

description: Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a well-established method for the precise quantification of nucleic acids. However, there is an ongoing development of novel device concepts for qPCRs, hybridization and melting curve analysis. This includes lab-on-chip systems or the recently published microbead-based VideoScan platform. Besides dedicated hardware an easy to use software for data analysis is also a requirement during developmental processes. Experimental instruments usually collect data of different formats and quality. Analysis software must therefore be able to preprocess data of different origins. Preprocessing includes data import, removal of missing values, selection of data ranges, outlier removal, detection of background signal, data transformation and smoothing /normalization of data. Subsequently, the software must be able to analyze and quantify both, the amplification data and melting curve data. To automate this process we developed a set of plugins for the open source software RKWard. RKWard is a GUI and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for statistical analysis with R which provides tools to manage and edit different types of data objects. Statistical procedures and plots were implemented using the easily extendable RKWard plugin architecture based on ECMAScript, XML, and R. The plugins are enhanced by a set of functions for data preprocessing. Core features rely on the excellent qpcR package for qPCR quantification and algorithms from the MBmca package for melting curve analysis. RKWard provides all tools of R for an interactive data analysis and presentation, a dedicated output file and an output window for documenting the results and figures. The software aims to accelerate the development process and to enable easier collaboration between colleagues in the hardware and wetware disciplines.
Molluscs on the move in Tasmanian waters? Possible southward range shifts among marine species
Creators: name: Grove, Simon

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: The southward extension of the warm-water East Australian Current down Tasmania’s east coast is now a well-documented phenomenon, and evidence for its effects on the distribution of marine biota is mounting.  Many people may imagine that molluscs can only move at, well, a snail’s pace, but our recent findings suggest otherwise. Through both shore-based collecting of dead shells around the State, and boat-based dredging on the continental shelf off southeast Tasmania, we have identified many marine mollusc species across a range of taxonomic groups that, on the basis of historical records and collections data from regional museums, were not previously recognised as occurring this far south.  While recognising that there remain huge knowledge-gaps in our understanding of species distributions in the region, we argue that at least some of these finds represent genuine range extensions, sometimes in the order of several hundred kilometres. We further suggest that these can best be explained in the context of the Current’s increasing extension southward over the past century, and the concomitant warming of coastal waters.

description: In this paper, we propose the use of denoising for microphone classification, to enable its usage for several key application domains that involve noisy conditions. We describe the proposed analysis pipeline and the baseline algorithm for microphone classification, and discuss various denoising approaches which can be applied to it within the time or spectral domain; finally, we determine the best-performing denoising procedure, and evaluate the performance of the overall, integrated approach with several SNR levels of additive input noise. As a result, the proposed method achieves an average accuracy increase of about 25% on denoised content over the reference baseline.
Engaging the public to help identify range-shifting marine species: if, why and how the public want to become involved

description: The public are increasingly becoming involved in scientific research across the globe. Often referred to as ‘citizen science’, this field of scientific practice has seen remarkable growth over the last decade, and marine science is no exception. Marine citizen science projects are now addressing a wide variety of environmental knowledge-gaps on temporal and spatial scales which have previously been unachievable.

One such issue is species range extension in association with changes in the marine environment (such as warming ocean currents moving polewards). In Australia, members of the public are contributing to robust scientific understanding of range shifting marine species through the Redmap citizen science project (redmap.org.au). Redmap asks marine users to submit photographs of out-of-range marine species to a database via their website or smartphone app.

Given the urgent need to dramatically increase scientific knowledge of changes occurring in the marine environment, members of the public who frequent the marine environment are well-placed to expand the scale of data collection. Yet, engaging the public in large-scale citizen science projects can be challenging without understanding public perspectives on their potential involvement in scientific research. This paper presents novel social scientific research on the target audience (primarily fishers and divers, but includes all other users) for marine citizen science projects. We present results from a national survey of 1145 marine users which highlights public interest in marine citizen science and uncovers the significant barriers and drivers for public engagement. Key considerations for project design and volunteer recruitment communication are discussed.

description: We investigate the deterministic generation and distribution of entanglement in large quantum networks by driving distant qubits with the output fields of a non-degenerate parametric amplifier. In this setting, the amplifier produces a continuous Gaussian two-mode squeezed state, which acts as a quantum-correlated reservoir for the qubits and relaxes them into a highly entangled steady state. Here we are interested in the maximal amount of entanglement and the optimal entanglement generation rates that can be achieved with this scheme under realistic conditions taking, in particular, the finite amplifier bandwidth, waveguide losses and propagation delays into account. By combining exact numerical simulations of the full network with approximate analytic results, we predict the optimal working point for the amplifier and the corresponding qubit-qubit entanglement under various conditions. Our findings show that this passive conversion of Gaussian- into discrete- variable entanglement offers a robust and experimentally very attractive approach for operating large optical, microwave or hybrid quantum networks, for which efficient parametric amplifiers are currently developed.

From peer-reviewed to peer-reproduced: a role for research objects in scholarly publishing in the life sciences
Creators: name: Gonzalez-Beltran, Alejandra
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: The reproducibility of science in the digital age is attracting a lot of attention and concerns from the scientific community, where studies have shown the inability to reproduce results due to a variety of reasons, ranging from unavailability of the data to lack of proper descriptions of the experimental steps. Multiple research object models have been proposed to describe different aspects of the research process. Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA) is a widely used general-purpose metadata tracking framework with an associated suite of open-source software, which offers a rich description of the experiment’s hypotheses and design, investigators involved, experimental factors, protocols applied. The information is organised in a three-level hierarchy where ’Investigation’ provides the project context for a ’Study’ (a research question), which itself contains one or more ’Assays’ (taking analytical measurements and key data processing and analysis steps). Nanopublication (NP) is a research object model which enables specific scientific assertions, such as the conclusions of an experiment, to be annotated with supporting evidence, published and cited. Lastly, the Research Object (RO) is a model that enables the aggregation of the digital resources contributing to findings of computational research, including results, data and software, as citable compound digital objects.

For computational reproducibility, platforms such as Taverna and Galaxy are popular and efficient ways to represent the data analysis steps in the form of reusable workflows, where the data transformations can be specified and executed in an automatic way. In this presentation, we will address the question of whether such research object models and workflow representation frameworks can be used to assist in the peer review process, by facilitating evaluation of the accuracy of the information provided by scientific articles with respect to their repeatability. Our case study is based on an article on a genome assembler algorithm published in GigaScience, but due to the proven use of the respective research object models in their respective communities, we argue that the combination of models and workflow system will improve the scholarly publishing process, making science peer-reproduced.

description: The stability and composition of communities are threatened with the intensifying of human impact on biodiversity. A crucial challenge of the next years will be to conserve biodiversity under climate changes. The factors that determine the distributions of species and the communities are of primary interest to the optimization of conservation actions. While studied for more than a century, the mechanisms underlying the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient (LDG) – one of the strongest biotic patterns on Earth – remain hotly debated. Contrasting patterns in different organism groups may help elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Here, we compare diversity patterns of vascular plants and bryophytes across Europe assessing not just species richness (SR), but also other aspects of diversity that may inform on the underlying assembly mechanisms, namely species turnover and nestedness. We applied species distributions and macroecological models to reconstruct vascular plants and bryophytes species richness (SR) across Europe. Coupled with species turnover and nestedness analyses, Lee’s L statistics and Procustes analyses. While vascular plants conform to the classical LDG, bryophytes exhibit markedly divergent latitudinal SR patterns, with higher richness in at high latitudes. Vascular plants have higher species turn-over at low latitudes and higher nestedness at high latitudes, in agreement with the tropical niche conservatism hypothesis as an explanation for the LDG. Contrary to LDG expectations, SR of bryophytes increase towards northern areas, with patterns of turnover and nestedness that suggest different origins for the southern and northern European bryophytes species pools.

description: Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools to investigate changing distributions such as spread of invasive species and to propose efficient management strategies. However, to ensure robust predictions of species distribution it is important to develop a multi-scale SDM given that the determinants of species distribution are hierarchically structured: climatic variables are among the most important determinants across large spatial extents of coarse resolutions, followed by land use, landscape structure, topographic complexities and biotic conditions across smaller spatial extents of ﬁner resolutions. To build our hierarchical SDM integrating this concept of ecological filtering, we propose to first combine coarse-grained climatic predictors at global and regional extents with fine-grained topographic and solar energy predictors derived at a landscape extent from high-resolution light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. Then, to incorporate the local population dynamics of an invasive species, we finally propose to couple such hierarchical SDMs characterising the suitability of a given environment at multiple spatial scales with mechanistic simulations of seed dispersal, local establishment and population growth. As an empirical case study, the invasion by the American black cherry (Prunus serotina) in the Compiègne temperate forest (France) has been chosen. This allowed us to assess the ability of the proposed modelling framework to reconstruct the invasion dynamic of this long-lived species with a complex life cycle. Here, we present the various components of our hybrid model, input data and first results. We suggest new avenues for incorporating population dynamics, dispersion and environmental filtering into SDMs at multiple spatial scales.

Constraining the reionization and thermal history of the Universe using a semi-numerical photon-conserving code SCRIPT

description: Given that the reionization history of cosmic hydrogen is yet to be stringently constrained, it is worth checking the prospects of doing so using physically motivated models and available observational data. For this purpose, we use an extended version of the explicitly photon-conserving semi-numerical model of reionization, $\texttt{SCRIPT}$, which also includes thermal evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM). The model incorporates the effects of inhomogeneous recombination and radiative feedback self-consistently and is characterized by five free parameters (two for the redshift-dependent ionization efficiency, two for the ionizing escape fraction, and another for reionization temperature increment). We constrain these free parameters by simultaneously matching with various observational probes, e.g., estimates of the ionized hydrogen fraction, the CMB scattering optical depth and the galaxy UV luminosity function. In addition, we include the low-density IGM temperature measurements obtained from Lyman-$α$ absorption spectra at $z \sim 5.5$, a probe not commonly used for Bayesian analysis of reionization parameters. We find that the interplay of the various data sets, particularly inclusion of the temperature data, leads to tightening of the parameter constraints. Our default models prefer a late end of reionization (at $z \lesssim 6$), in agreement with other recent studies. We can also derive constraints on the duration of reionization, $Δz=1.81^{+0.51}_{-0.67}$ and the midpoint of reionization, $z_{\mathrm{mid}}=7.0^{+0.30}_{-0.40}$. The constraints can be further tightened by including other available and upcoming data sets.

description: Climate warming interacts with habitat fragmentation to threaten biodiversity. Ecological corridors are crucial to allow species migrating towards more suitable environments, but their effectiveness often remains an open question. Here, we evaluated the connectivity effect of small streams originating in a large ancient forest for plant communities of forest patches within an agricultural landscape. We compared α- and β-diversity of patches connected to a large forest with isolated patches, while controlling for habitat effects, patch area and patch age. Patch age was deducted from historical maps and aerial photographs. Species composition of each patch type was examined with a non-parametric MANOVA and an Indicator Species Analysis. Forest patches connected to the main forest through streams were not more species-rich after accounting for habitat effects but were more similar than isolated patches, be the latter crossed or not by a stream. Also, connected patches exhibited a different species composition with more forest habitat specialists and more hydrochores than non-connected patches. Many forest herb species well known for being dispersal-limited appeared to be efficiently transported by water as incidental hydrochores over long distances and relatively short time scales. Using streams as “high-speed corridors”, these species increased their colonization speed of at least 15 times compared to conventional dispersal. Streams thus can act as efficient corridors for plant species across agricultural landscapes. Preserving the longitudinal integrity of streams likely increases the connectivity within and between forest metacommunities and can assist dispersal-limited species to escape the climate warming fire by increasing their migration speed.
