description: The effects of stimulus frequency and intensity on phase-locking characteristics of cochlear ganglion cells were studied in the starling. All cells showed phase-locking to tone stimuli within their response area. Phase-locking at CF is found on average 9 dB below discharge rate threshold. Phase-locking is best at 0.4 kHz and deteriorates with increasing frequency almost independently of CF. No phase-locking was evident for test frequencies above 3–4 kHz. Phase-locking in cells with CFs above 1.0 kHz is better below CF than at CF. For constant sound pressure, an increase in stimulus frequency always produced an increase in phase lag of the neural response. The phase vs. frequency data obtained at constant sound pressure can be reasonably approximated by straight line functions. The slopes of these functions indicate the latency of the neural response, and are correlated with the CFs of the respective cells; the latency tends to be longer in low-CF cells and shorter in high-CF cells. The latency decreases by 0.04 ms per l dB sound pressure increase. The response phase at CF is nearly stimulus level-independent. Increasing stimulus intensity causes increasing phase lag below CF and decreasing phase lag above CF. These results are compared to findings in other vertebrates and demonstrate the similarities of phase-locking characteristics despite the substantial anatomical differences among the vertebrate groups.

description: The problem of jamming on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Gaussian channels is investigated in this paper. In the case of a single target legitimate signal, we show that the existing result based on the simplification of the system model by neglecting the jamming channel leads to losing important insights regarding the effect of jamming power and jamming channel on the jamming strategy. We find a closed-form optimal solution for the problem under a positive semi-definite (PSD) condition without considering simplifications in the model. If the condition is not satisfied and the optimal solution may not exist in closed-form, we find the optimal solution using a numerical method and also propose a suboptimal solution in closed-form as a close approximation of the optimal solution. Then, the possibility of extending the results to solve the problem of multi-target jamming is investigated for four scenarios, i.e., multiple access channel, broadcasting channel, multiple transceiver pairs with orthogonal transmissions, and multiple transceiver pairs with interference, respectively. It is shown that the proposed numerical method can be extended to all scenarios while the proposed closed-form solutions for jamming may be applied in the scenarios of the multiple access channel and multiple transceiver pairs with orthogonal transmissions. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.

description: We have labelled single, primary auditory neurones in three reptile and one bird species. After functional characterization of the neurones, hexamminecobaltic chloride was iontophoretically injected through the recording micropipette. Precipitation of cobalt sulfide followed by silver intensification of the cochlear duct as a whole-mount preparation revealed stained neurones in over 90% of cases. This method has several advantages over labelling with HRP.
Plasticity of electric organ discharge waveform in the South African Bulldog fish, Marcusenius pongolensis: tradeoff between male attractiveness and predator avoidance?

description: Background: In adult male Marcusenius pongolensis the duration of their Electric Organ Discharge (EOD) pulses increases with body size over lifetime (267 to 818 microseconds, field-measured). Spawning males have been observed to exhibit an additional, temporary pulse duration increase which probably betters their mating success but increases predation risk by electroreceptive catfish. We here study the question of how the additional pulse duration increase is triggered and for how long it persists, in an attempt to understand the compromise between opposing selective forces. Results: Here, we demonstrate short-term plasticity in male EOD waveform in 10 captive M. pongolensis. An increase in EOD duration was experimentally evoked in two different ways: by exchanging the familiar neighbours of experimental subjects for stranger males that were separated by plastic mesh partitions, or by separating familiar fish by plastic mesh partitions introduced into their common tank. Both treatments evoked an increase of male EOD duration. Values exceeded those found in the non-reproductive season in nature. In one male the increase of EOD duration was 5.7fold, from 356 microseconds to 2029 microseconds. An increase in EOD duration was accompanied by a high level of aggression directed against the neighbours through the plastic mesh. With conditions remaining constant, EOD duration receded to 38 - 50 % of the maximum EOD duration after 10 weeks, or, more rapidly, when sensory contact between the fish was severely restricted by the introduction of a solid plastic wall. Conclusions: The short-term increase of EOD duration evoked by experimental manipulation of sensory contact with conspecifics through the plastic mesh, as reported here, resembled the changes in EOD waveform that accompanied reproduction in two captive males. Plasticity of the male EOD in pulse duration seems to be an adaptation for (1) securing a higher fitness by a sexually "attractive" long-duration EOD, while (2) limiting the risk of detection by electroreceptive predators, such as the sharptooth catfish, by receding to a shorter EOD as soon as reproduction is over.

description: It is well known that the set of algebraic numbers (let us call it $A$) is countable. In this paper, instead of the usage of the classical terminology of cardinals proposed by Cantor, a recently introduced methodology using \G1-based infinite numbers is applied to measure the set $A$ (where the number \G1 is called \emph{grossone}). Our interest to this methodology is explained by the fact that in certain cases where cardinals allow one to say only whether a set is countable or it has the cardinality of the continuum, the \G1-based methodology can provide a more accurate measurement of infinite sets. In this article, lower and upper estimates of the number of elements of $A$ are obtained. Both estimates are expressed in \G1-based numbers.

description: This report describes the effects of L-glutamate (Glu) introduced into the perilymph of scala tympani on the spontaneous and tone-evoked activity of guinea pig single primary auditory afferents. Concentrations below 2 mmol/1 were in general ineffective, while a concentration of 5 mmol/1 caused a marked decrease of the neural activity. At 2 mmol/1, roughly 60% of the Glu-perfusions were effective and produced a variety of changes. The most prominent effect was a reduction of the tone-evoked activity without a change in spontaneous rate. Indeed, in some ceils, the tone-evoked activity could be almost totally abolished without affecting the spontaneous activity. More rarely observed was a moderate, generally transient increase of the spontaneous activity which was occasionally followed by a decrease in both tone-evoked and spontaneous firing rate. The increase in firing rate was always small relative to the maximum discharge rate evoked by tone stimuli. Desensitization of the Glu-evoked response without an obvious change in the spontaneous activity was also found. In a few cells Glu caused a reduction of the discharge rate below the spontaneous firing rate during loud tone presentation. Higher Glu doses generally caused a reduction of spontaneous and tone-evoked activity without any sign of a preceding increase. Thus, the effects of Glu in the mammalian cochlea appear to be complex and on balance seem inconsistent with the effects predicted for an excitatory transmitter. The findings argue against the hypothesis that Glu is the afferent transmitter released by inner hair-cells. However, the results do not exclude an involvement of Glu as a neuromodulator or co-transmitter.

Non-radial Oscillations in Rotating Giant Planets with Solid Cores: Application to Saturn and its Rings

description: Recent observations have revealed evidence for the global oscillations of Jupiter and Saturn, which can potentially provide a new window into the interior structure of giant planets. Motivated by these observations, we study the non-radial oscillation modes of giant planets containing a solid core. Our calculations include the elastic response of the core and consider a wide range of possible values of the core shear modulus. While the elasticity of the core only slightly changes the frequencies of acoustic modes, which reside mostly in the fluid envelope, it adds two new classes of shear modes that are largely confined to the core. We also calculate the effects of the Coriolis force on the planetary oscillation modes. In addition to changing the mode frequencies, the Coriolis force can cause the shear modes to mix with the f-modes. Such mixing occurs when the frequencies of the shear mode and the f-mode are close to each other, and results in "mixed modes" with similar properties that are slightly split in frequency. We discuss our results in light of the recent work by Hedman & Nicholson (2013), which revealed the presence of density waves in Saturn's C-ring that appear to be excited by the gravitational perturbations associated with the f-mode oscillations within Saturn. We find that the fine splitting in wave frequencies observed in the rings can in principle be explained by the rotation-induced mixing between core shear modes and f-modes, possibly indicating the presence of a solid core within Saturn. However, in our current calculations, which assume rigid-body rotation and include only first-order rotational effects, significant fine-tuning in the planetary model parameters is needed in order to achieve these mode mixings and to explain the observed fine frequency splitting. We briefly discuss other effects that may modify the f-modes and facilitate mode mixing.

description: This paper develops and tests an excitation-pattern model for the starling. Like excitation-pattern models for humans [e.g., Zwicker, Acustica 6, 365–381 (1956); Florentine and Buus, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 70, 1646–1654 (1981)], the model for starlings provides a unified account of a large body of data. The foundation of the model is a critical-band scale, which is derived as an equal-distance scale according to a cochlear-map function. The cochlear-map function is determined as a best-fitting function to physiological data relating characteristic frequency (CF) of auditory-nerve fibers to their place of innervation on the basilar papilla. Excitation patterns are derived from auditory-nerve measurements of levels at CF necessary to produce firing rates equal to those evoked by a test tone. The shape of these excitation patterns is independent of level and frequency when plotted on a cochlear-distance scale. The resulting model indicates that 10-dB bandwidths of auditory-nerve tuning curves and frequency DLs can be approximated as equal distances along the basilar papilla. Predictions of level discrimination are in good agreement with the data, except below 20 dB SL. Overall, the present work indicates that excitation-pattern models account for a wide range of auditory phenomena in both humans and starlings, when the models take into account differences in critical-band scales, absolute thresholds, excitation-pattern slopes, and growth of excitation, which is linear in starlings, but nonlinear in humans.

description: XMM-Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR$~$J17544$-$2619 are reported and placed in the context of an analysis of archival INTEGRAL/IBIS data that provides a refined estimate of the orbital period at 4.9272$\pm$0.0004 days. A complete outburst history across the INTEGRAL mission is reported. Although the new XMM-Newton observations (each lasting $\sim$15 ks) targeted the peak flux in the phase-folded hard X-ray light curve of IGR$~$J17544$-$2619, no bright outbursts were observed, the source spending the majority of the exposure at intermediate luminosities of the order of several 10$^{33}\,$erg$\,$s$^{-1}$ (0.5$\,-\,$10$\,$keV) and displaying only low level flickering activity. For the final portion of the exposure, the luminosity of IGR$~$J17544$-$2619 dropped to $\sim$4$\times$10$^{32}\,$erg$\,$s$^{-1}$ (0.5 - 10 keV), comparable with the lowest luminosities ever detected from this source, despite the observations being taken near to periastron. We consider the possible orbital geometry of IGR$~$J17544$-$2619 and the implications for the nature of the mass transfer and accretion mechanisms for both IGR$~$J17544$-$2619 and the SFXT population. We conclude that accretion under the `quasi-spherical accretion' model provides a good description of the behaviour of IGR$~$J17544$-$2619, and suggest an additional mechanism for generating outbursts based upon the mass accumulation rate in the hot shell (atmosphere) that forms around the NS under the quasi-spherical formulation. Hence we hope to aid in explaining the varied outburst behaviours observed across the SFXT population with a consistent underlying physical model.

description: Life event stress has been associated with blunted cardiovascular reactivity to acute psychological stress. However, recent studies have suggested that blunted reactivity to stress only arises when the laboratory tasks are not personally salient to the individual. We re-analyzed data from 136 healthy young adults where we had previously reported a negative association between life event stress and car?diovascular reactivity to two combined stressors. Participants completed a mental arithmetic task and a personally salient speech task, following a formal baseline period with Finometer-assessed cardiovascular parameters. The reanalyses ex?amined reactivity to the verbal mental arithmetic (personally non-salient) and speech (personally salient) tasks separately and found that life event stress was negatively associated with diastolic blood pressure reactivity, to both the person?ally non-salient, β = −.20, p = .023, and personally salient stressors, β = −.24, p = .004. Life event stress was negatively associated with systolic blood pressure reactivity to the personally salient stressor only, β = −.20, p = .021, and was not associated with heart rate reactivity. This study provides evidence against the argument that blunted reactivity to stress emerges as a result of stressor context, with findings indicating that low reactors show lower reactivity to both person?ally salient and personally non-salient stress.

Anomalous D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation in InAs (110) quantum wells under strong magnetic field: role of Hartree-Fock self-energy

description: We investigate the influence of the Hartree-Fock self-energy, acting as an effective magnetic field, on the anomalous D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation in InAs (110) quantum wells when the magnetic field in the Voigt configuration is much stronger than the spin-orbit-coupled field. The transverse and longitudinal spin relaxations are discussed both analytically and numerically. For the transverse configuration, it is found that the spin relaxation is very sensitive to the Hartree-Fock effective magnetic field, which is very different from the conventional D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation. Even an extremely small spin polarization ($P=0.1\%$) can significantly influence the behavior of the spin relaxation. It is further revealed that this comes from the {\em unique} form of the effective inhomogeneous broadening, originated from the mutually perpendicular spin-orbit-coupled field and strong magnetic field. It is shown that this effective inhomogeneous broadening is very small and hence very sensitive to the Hartree-Fock field. Moreover, we further find that in the spin polarization dependence, the transverse spin relaxation time decreases with the increase of the spin polarization in the intermediate spin polarization regime, which is also very different from the conventional situation, where the spin relaxation is always suppressed by the Hartree-Fock field. It is revealed that this {\em opposite} trends come from the additional spin relaxation channel induced by the HF field. For the longitudinal configuration, we find that the spin relaxation can be either suppressed or enhanced by the Hartree-Fock field if the spin polarization is parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field.

description: Globular clusters trace the formation history of the spheroidal components of both our Galaxy and others, which represent the bulk of star formation over the history of the universe. They also exhibit a range of metallicities, with metal-poor clusters dominating the stellar halo of the Galaxy, and higher metallicity clusters found within the inner Galaxy, associated with the stellar bulge, or the thick disk. Age differences between these clusters can indicate the sequence in which the components of the Galaxy formed, and in particular which clusters were formed outside the Galaxy and later swallowed along with their original host galaxies, and which were formed in situ. Here we present an age determination of the metal-rich globular cluster 47 Tucanae by fitting the properties of the cluster white dwarf population, which implies an absolute age of 9.9 (0.7) Gyr at 95% confidence. This is about 2.0 Gyr younger than inferred for the metal-poor cluster NGC 6397 from the same models, and provides quantitative evidence that metal-rich clusters like 47 Tucanae formed later than the metal-poor halo clusters like NGC 6397.

description: Gap-detection thresholds were determined for single units in the cochlear ganglion and in auditory nerve fibres of the starling from responses to two broadband noise bursts separated by a temporal gap of between 0.4 and 204.8 ms. All 35 units showed a threshold within the range of gap sizes tested. The median minimum- detectable gap was 12.8 ms with the minimum being 1.6 ms. A multiple regression analysis revealed that the size of the minimum-detectable gap was not significantly correlated with the neuron's CF, with its sharpness of tuning as given by its bandwidth 10 dB above threshold, or with its QIOdB value. Only the level of stimulation above the neuron's threshold showed a significant negative correlation with the size of the minimumdetectable gap. These results are discussed with respect to theoretical considerations of limits posed on temporal resolution by the characteristics of peripheral filters. These findings are also discussed in the context of the coding of gaps at different levels of the starling's auditory system and in relation to psychoacoustic results in the starling on gap detection and time resolution described by temporal modulation transfer functions.

description: The distribution of frequencies along the basilar papilla of the barn owl (Tyto alba) was studied by labelling small groups of primary auditory neurones of defined frequency response and tracing them to their peripheral innervation sites. The exact location of marked neurones was determined in cochlear wholemounts with the aid of a special surface preparation technique. The average basilar papilla length (in fixed, embedded specimens) was 10.74 mm. The resulting frequency map shows the basic vertebrate pattern with the lowest frequencies represented apically and increasingly higher frequencies mapped at progressively more basal locations. However, the length of basilar papilla devoted to different frequency ranges, i.e. the space per octave, varies dramatically in the barn owl. The lower frequencies (up to 2 kHz) show values between about 0.35 and 1 mm/octave, which are roughly equivalent to values reported for other birds. Above that, the space increases enormously, the highest octave (5–10 kHz) covering about 6 mm, or more than half of the length of the basilar papilla. Such an overrepresentation of a narrow, behaviourally very important frequency band is also seen in some bats, where it has been termed an acoustic or auditory fovea.

description: Multi-Higgs doublet models appear in many interesting extensions of the standard model (SM). But they suffer from Higgs-mediated flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) problem which is very generic. In this talk, I describe that this problem can be resolved or mitigated if we introduce local $U(1)_H$ Higgs flavor gauge symmetry. As examples, I describe chiral $U(1)_{H}$ models where the right-handed up-type quarks also carry $U(1)_H$ charges and discuss the top forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) and $B\rightarrow D^{(*)} τν$ puzzle. Next I describe the two-Higgs doublet models where the usual $Z_2$ symmetry is implemented to $U(1)_H$ and show how the Type-I and Type-II models are extended. One possible extension of Type-II has the same fermion contents with the leptophobic $E_6$ $Z^{'}$ model by Rosner, and I discuss the neutrino sector in this model briefly.

description: Observations of metal-poor extragalactic H II regions allow the determination of the primordial helium abundance, Y_p. The He I emissivities are the foundation of the model of the H II region's emission. Porter, Ferland, Storey, & Detisch (2012) have recently published updated He I emissivities based on improved photoionization cross-sections. We incorporate these new atomic data and update our recent Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis of the dataset published by Izotov, Thuan, & Stasinska (2007). As before, cuts are made to promote quality and reliability, and only solutions which fit the data within 95% confidence level are used to determine the primordial He abundance. The previously qualifying dataset is almost entirely retained and with strong concordance between the physical parameters. Overall, an upward bias from the new emissivities leads to a decrease in Y_p. In addition, we find a general trend to larger uncertainties in individual objects (due to changes in the emissivities) and an increased variance (due to additional objects included). From a regression to zero metallicity, we determine Y_p = 0.2465 +/- 0.0097, in good agreement with the Planck result of Y_p = 0.2485 +/- 0.0002. In the future, a better understanding of why a large fraction of spectra are not well fit by the model will be crucial to achieving an increase in the precision of the primordial helium abundance determination.

description: The excitatory effect of different test stimuli was quantified in a large sample of primary auditory units of the starling. In order to construct an excitation pattern, the level of excitation in many single units in response to a specific test stimulus was plotted as a function of their characteristic frequency (CF). The effects of stimulus frequency and stimulus sound-pressure level on the shapes of the excitation patterns were characterized by measuring excitation patterns in response to 33 different test stimuli which covered a range of frequencies (0.125 to 2.0 kHz) and sound-pressure levels (20 to 90 dB SPL). In contrast to the mammalian situation, excitation patterns in the starling showed a systematic asymmetry with the high-frequency side being, on average, twice as steep as the low-frequency side. In addition, the sound-pressure level had no systematic effect either on the symmetry or on the high- and low-frequency slopes of the flanks of the excitation patterns. Thus, the nonlinear growth of excitation with increasing sound-pressure level that is typical for the high-frequency flank of mammalian excitation patterns, was not found in the starling. The differences in mammalian and avian excitation patterns are probably related to systematic differences in tuning characteristics of the respective hearing organs.

description: Die komplexe Bedienung eines Forwarders in der forstlichen Arbeitsumgebung stellt hohe Anforderungen an den Maschinenbediener. Vor allem ungeübte Bediener können diese während ihrer Lernphase nicht erfüllen und weisen dadurch eine sehr geringe Produktivität im Betrieb der Maschine auf. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird daher zur Unterstützung dieser Bediener ein Assistenzsystem für einen teilautomatisierten Ladeprozess entwickelt, da dieser durch den größten Zeitanteil und Komplexitätsgrad der Arbeitstätigkeit ein hohes Potential zur Effizienzsteigerung aufweist. Hierzu werden mittels Methoden aus dem Bereich des Maschinellen Sehens die zu ladenden Stämme erkannt und anschließend die Stammposition als Input für die Automatisierung bestimmt. Mit Hilfe der entwickelten Kranspitzensteuerung führt das Assistenzsystem die Bewegung des Krans zum Stamm hin aus und greift diesen automatisch. Dabei wird ein Hydrauliksystem mit einem hydraulischen Transformator berücksichtigt, durch welches eine Energieregeneration möglich ist. Für die Gewichtsbestimmung zur Produktivitätsberechnung bei realen Arbeitsbedingungen wurde eine datenbasierte Kranwaage entwickelt. Die Funktionalität des Assistenzsystems wird mit einer Demonstratormaschine verifiziert und die Effizienz durch reproduzierbare Referenzzyklen evaluiert. Für ungeübte Bediener steigt die Produktivität um bis zu 67 %, während zeitgleich der Energiebedarf um bis zu 29 % reduziert wird.

description: We provide a lightning review of the construction of (generalised) orbifolds [arXiv:0909.5013, arXiv:1210.6363] of two-dimensional quantum field theories in terms of topological defects, along the lines of [arXiv:1307.3141]. This universal perspective has many applications, some of which we sketch in the examples of 2d Yang-Mills theory, Landau-Ginzburg models, and rational CFT.

description: Mammals and birds have independently developed different populations of sensory cells grouped across the width of their auditory papillae. Although in mammals there is clear evidence for disparate functions for the two hair-cell populations, the different anatomical pattern in birds has made comparisons difficult. In two species of birds, we have used single-fibre staining techniques to trace physiologically-characterized primary auditory nerve fibres to their peripheral synapses. As in mammals, acoustically-active afferent fibres of these birds innervate exclusively the neurally-lying group of hair cells in a 1 : 1 relationship, suggesting important parallels in the functional organization of the auditory papillae in these two vertebrate classes. In addition, we found a strong trend of the threshold to acoustic stimuli at the characteristic frequency across the width of the avian papilla.

description: In recent years, a new generation of space missions offered great opportunities of discovery in high-energy astrophysics. In this article we focus on the scientific operations of the Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) onboard the AGILE space mission. The AGILE-GRID, sensitive in the energy range of 30 MeV-30 GeV, has detected many gamma-ray transients of galactic and extragalactic origins. This work presents the AGILE innovative approach to fast gamma-ray transient detection, which is a challenging task and a crucial part of the AGILE scientific program. The goals are to describe: (1) the AGILE Gamma-Ray Alert System, (2) a new algorithm for blind search identification of transients within a short processing time, (3) the AGILE procedure for gamma-ray transient alert management, and (4) the likelihood of ratio tests that are necessary to evaluate the post-trial statistical significance of the results. Special algorithms and an optimized sequence of tasks are necessary to reach our goal. Data are automatically analyzed at every orbital downlink by an alert pipeline operating on different timescales. As proper flux thresholds are exceeded, alerts are automatically generated and sent as SMS messages to cellular telephones, e-mails, and push notifications of an application for smartphones and tablets. These alerts are crosschecked with the results of two pipelines, and a manual analysis is performed. Being a small scientific-class mission, AGILE is characterized by optimization of both scientific analysis and ground-segment resources. The system is capable of generating alerts within two to three hours of a data downlink, an unprecedented reaction time in gamma-ray astrophysics.

description: A number of studies of WMAP and Planck have highlighted that the power at the low multipoles in CMB power spectrum are lower than their theoretically predicted values. Possible angular correlation between the orientations of these low multipoles have also been claimed. It is important to investigate the possibility that the power deficiency at low multipoles may not be of primordial origin and is only an observation artifact coming from the scan procedure adapted in the WMAP or Planck satellites. Therefore, its always important to investigate all the observational artifacts that can mimic them. The CMB dipole which is almost 550 times higher than the quadrupole can leak to the higher multipoles due to the non-symmetric beam shape of the WMAP. In this paper a formalism has been developed and simulations are carried out to study the effect of the non-symmetric beam on this power transfer. It is interesting to observed that a small but non-negligible amount of power from the dipole can get transferred to the quadrupole and the higher multipoles due to the non-symmetric beam. It is shown that in case of WMAP scan strategy the shape of the quadrupole coming due to this power leakage is very much similar to the observed quadrupole from WMAP data. Simulations have also been carried out for Planck scan strategy. It is seen that for Planck scan strategy the power transfer is not only limited to the quadrupole but also to a few higher low multipoles. Since the actual beam shapes of Planck are not publicly available we present results in terms of upper limits on asymmetric beam parameters that would contaminate of the quadrupole power at the level of $1μK$.

description: The budgerigar is a representative of the parrot-like birds that, like song birds, have developed complex communication signals. This species is interesting in a psychoacoustic sense, in that it shows unusually good frequency discriminative abilities above about 1 kHz. To begin to understand whether the peripheral hearing organ plays a role in such specializations, we have carried out a quantitative study of the fine anatomy of the basilar papilla and compared it to data from other avian species. The budgerigar basilar papilla is about 2.5 mm long in the living animal and contains about 5,400 hair cells. The hair cells of the papilla show regional specializations similar to those found in other birds and are described from scanning electron microscopic and light microscopic studies. Regional changes in the basilar papilla, and in the basilar and tectorial membranes are described from light microscopic data. As noted for other avian species, the constellation of morphologic features found in the budgerigar is unique. In general, the hair cell patterns of the budgerigar papilla showed fewer specializations than found in, e.g., a ongbird, the starling, but more than seen in a primitive land bird, e.g., the pigeon. There were no features that were obviously related to the unusual psychoacoustic performance of this species.

description: Die Autoren untersuchen die Konstruktion so genannter ‚gefährlicher Orte‘ (auch ‚verrufene Orte‘, ‚Gefahrengebiete‘, ‚Kriminalitätsbrennpunkte‘ u.ä.). Sie zeigen, dass die mittlerweile fest im deutschen Polizeirecht verankerte und durch lokale Legislation flankierte Rechtskonstruktion ‚gefährliche Orte‘ Zonen polizeilicher Sondervollmachten schafft, die einen selektiven Kontrolldruck auf bestimmte Gebiete – und dadurch vermittelt auf bestimmte Bevölkerungsgruppen – ermöglichen. Die Anwendung und Durchsetzung, also die ‚Politik gefährlicher Orte‘, erfolgt mit unterschiedlichen Mitteln (stichprobenhafte Personenkontrollen, Komplexkontrollen, Videoüberwachung u.a.) und kann der Durchsetzung verschiedener Ziele dienen, von räumlich orientiertem Kriminalitätsmanagement, nicht zuletzt im Rahmen städtischer Aufwertungsprozesse, über die Kontrolle unerwünschter Verhaltensweisen im substrafrechtlichen Bereich bis hin zur Einhegung politischer Dissidenz oder kultureller Heterogenität. Anhand von Beispielen aus Leipzig und Berlin werden die rechtlichen Voraussetzungen, die polizeiliche Praxis, die Spannbreite der Anwendungsgebiete sowie deren diskursive Legitimierung dargestellt. Damit soll insbesondere Praktiker/innen der sozialen Arbeit ein kritischer Blick auf Problemkonstruktionen ermöglicht werden, die aufgrund ihrer Verankerung in Sicherheitslogiken zur Ontologisierung von Kriminalität neigen. Die Beispiele können illustrieren, dass die Konstruktion ‚gefährlicher Orte‘ eng mit einer Konstruktion von Kriminalität und scheinbarer Gefahr einhergeht, die, einem Sicherheitsparadigma folgend, die Legitimität sozialarbeiterischer oder akzeptierender Perspektiven auf die thematisierten sozialräumlichen Lagen unterminiert
