description: In Universal Extra Dimension models, the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle is generically the first KK excitation of the photon and can be stable, serving as particle dark matter. We calculate the thermal relic abundance of the KK photon for a general mass spectrum of KK excitations including full coannihilation effects with all (level one) KK excitations. We find that including coannihilation can significantly change the relic abundance when the coannihilating particles are within about 20% of the mass of the KK photon. Matching the relic abundance with cosmological data, we find the mass range of the KK photon is much wider than previously found, up to about 2 TeV if the masses of the strongly interacting level one KK particles are within five percent of the mass of the KK photon. We also find cases where several coannihilation channels compete (constructively and destructively) with one another. The lower bound on the KK photon mass, about 540 GeV when just right-handed KK leptons coannihilate with the KK photon, relaxes upward by several hundred GeV when coannihilation with electroweak KK gauge bosons of the same mass is included.

Low Complexity Iterative Rake Decision Feedback Equalizer for Zero-Padded OTFS systems

Subjects: subject: Signal Processing (eess.SP)

description: This paper presents a linear complexity iterative rake detector for the recently proposed orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation scheme. The basic idea is to extract and coherently combine the received multipath components of the transmitted symbols in the delay-Doppler grid using maximal ratio combining (MRC) to improve the SNR of the combined signal. We reformulate the OTFS input-output relation in simple vector form by placing guard null symbols or zero padding (ZP) in the delay-Doppler grid and exploiting the resulting circulant property of the blocks of the channel matrix. Using this vector input-output relation we propose a low complexity iterative decision feedback equalizer (DFE) based on MRC. The performance and complexity of the proposed detector favorably compares with the state of the art message passing detector. An alternative time domain MRC based detector is also proposed for even faster detection. We further propose a Gauss-Seidel based over-relaxation parameter in the rake detector to improve the performance and the convergence speed of the iterative detection. We also show how the MRC detector can be combined with outer error-correcting codes to operate as a turbo DFE scheme to further improve the error performance. All results are compared with a baseline orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme employing a single tap minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer.

description: A fine balance between dark and baryonic mass is observed in spiral galaxies. As the contribution of the baryons to the total rotation velocity increases, the contribution of the dark matter decreases by a compensating amount. This poses a fine-tuning problem for \LCDM galaxy formation models, and may point to new physics for dark matter particles or even a modification of gravity.

description: Plant condensed tannins (CT) have varied effects on ruminants that consume them. Some, such as reduced palatability or fiber digestibility, are negative; many are beneficial, including rumen bypass (escape) protein and reduced infestation of gastro-intestinal nematodes. Condensed tannins are found almost exclusively in dicotyledonous plants but our efforts have focused on quantifying CT concentrations in legumes because these have the additional benefit of providing high levels of protein to ruminants. As part of the Southern Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (http://www.scsrpc.org/) we have compiled a list of leguminous and non-leguminous forage and browse species found in the Caribbean Basin that contain condensed tannins. To date, our list contains herbaceous legumes that have up to 5% N, and total CT (TCT) that vary from 0 to 16.7% when self-standards were used. Non-legume herbaceous forbs were equally high in Ν but contained very low TCT concentrations. Browse legumes tended to have lower CT values than herbaceous legumes when a legume was used as a standard. Some non-legume browse species ranged up to 9.3% TCT when a self-standard was used. These results indicate that a wide variability in CT concentrations exists among herbaceous and browse species throughout the Caribbean Basin, and these may be useful in improving ruminant nutrition and health. Many more species need to be analyzed, however, especially using self-standards to determine not only TCT but those fractions bound to protein.

description: Forests of the Greater Caribbean Region (GCR) have immense ecological and economic importance. These unique tropical ecosystems are under increasing pressure from exotic pests, which may cause extensive environmental damage and cost billions of dollars in control programs, lost production, and forest restoration. Forests may act as a source of exotic species introduction when wood or non-wood forest products are exported. In the introduced range, these pests may impact both forests and agricultural production. By the same token, forests are at risk not only from pests introduced with forest products but also from pests introduced through other pathways. Propagative materials, such as seeds or trees for planting, may serve as a pathway for pests and may also become pests themselves if they become invasive in the introduced range. The objective of this paper was to outline important forestryrelated pathways of pest movement and to offer suggestions for improved safeguarding. The pathways discussed are wood products, non-wood forest products, and trees for planting. The work presented here was carried out in the framework of the CISWG Caribbean Pathway Analysis.

description: In Puerto Rico taro is considered a minor crop with most of its production under natural wetland conditions. Late in 2004 there were reports of a disease which destroys most of the plants' foliage, resulting in decreased plant size and yield reduction. This disease was confirmed as the taro leaf blight, which devastated the wetland taro production throughout southeastern Puerto Rico. Disease-tolerant varieties appeared as an alternative for the maintenance of the production of taro. The objective was to determine whether blight-tolerant varieties from Hawaii are adapted for production and marketing in Puerto Rico, considering the pressure of this disease. Hawaiian varieties designated as 19F, 2000-101 and MP2 demonstrated potential for direct selection as commercial varieties. Improved performance of Hawaiian varieties was associated with their better stand. Eating qualities for the Hawaiian varieties appeared different from those accepted in the Caribbean Basin.

description: Photon loss is destructive to the performance of quantum photonic devices and therefore suppressing the effects of photon loss is paramount to photonic quantum technologies. We present two schemes to mitigate the effects of photon loss for a Gaussian Boson Sampling device, in particular, to improve the estimation of the sampling probabilities. Instead of using error correction codes which are expensive in terms of their hardware resource overhead, our schemes require only a small amount of hardware modifications or even no modification. Our loss-suppression techniques rely either on collecting additional measurement data or on classical post-processing once the measurement data is obtained. We show that with a moderate cost of classical post processing, the effects of photon loss can be significantly suppressed for a certain amount of loss. The proposed schemes are thus a key enabler for applications of near-term photonic quantum devices.

A nucleonic NJL model for finite nuclei: dynamic mass generation and ground-state observables

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We test the compatibility of chiral symmetry, dynamic mass generation of the nucleon due to spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, and the description of finite nuclear systems by employing an NJL model understood as a chiral invariant effective theory for nucleons. We apply the model to nuclear matter as well as to finite nuclei. In the latter case, the model is adjusted to nuclear ground-state observables. We treat the case of a pure chiral theory and the physically more realistic case where a portion of the nucleon mass (160 MeV) explicitly breaks chiral symmetry. The best version of this current model is found to deliver reasonably good results simultaneously for both finite nuclei and the nucleon mass, which supports our motivation of probing a link between low-momentum QCD and the nuclear many-body problem. However, the observables calculated for finite nuclei are not as good as those coming from existing relativistic mean field models without explicit chiral symmetry.

description: We investigate the hole dynamics in two prototypical high temperature superconducting systems: La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ and YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}% $O$_{y}$ using a combination of DC transport and infrared spectroscopy. By exploring the effective spectral weight obtained with optics in conjunction with DC Hall results we find that the transition to the Mott insulating state in these systems is of the "vanishing carrier number" type since we observe no substantial enhancement of the mass as one proceeds to undoped phases. Further, the effective mass remains constant across the entire underdoped regime of the phase diagram. We discuss the implications of these results for the understanding of both transport phenomena and pairing mechanism in high-T$_{c}$ systems.

description: Research was conducted in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, to determine the effect of two biostimulants on the in-nursery growth of 'Martinez' quenepa grown for rootstock. A brown alga (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract (Stimplex®) and a commercial blend of amino acids and related compounds (Macro-Sorb Radicular®) were applied to the rootstock container substrate as drench every three weeks until the plants reached the adequate grafting stage. Plants treated with the biostimulants were ready for grafting earlier than control plants. In general, 'Martinez' quenepa response to the amino acid blend was somewhat greater than its response to the (Ascophyllum nodosum extract, but the extent of growth response depended on biostimulant rate. Both biostimulants may be useful to accelerate the growth of quenepa seedlings for rootstock.

Bose-Einstein-like Condensation due to Diffusivity Edge under Periodic Confinement

description: A generic class of scalar active matter, characterized at the mean field level by the diffusivity vanishing above some threshold density, was recently introduced [Golestanian R 2019 Phys. Rev. E 100 010601(R)]. In the presence of harmonic confinement, such 'diffusivity edge' was shown to lead to condensation in the ground state, with the associated transition exhibiting formal similarities with Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). In this work, the effect of a diffusivity edge is addressed in a periodic potential in arbitrary dimensions, where the system exhibits coexistence between many condensates. Using a generalized thermodynamic description of the system, it is found that the overall phenomenology of BEC holds even for finite energy barriers separating each neighbouring pair of condensates. Shallow potentials are shown to quantitatively affect the transition, and introduce non-universality in the values of the scaling exponents.

description: We investigate the phenomenon of second sound in various states of matter from the perspective of non-equilibrium effective field theory (EFT). In particular, for each state of matter considered, we find that at least two (though sometimes multiple) qualitatively different EFTs exist at finite temperature such that there is always at least one EFT with a propagating second-sound wave and at least one with no such second-sound wave. To aid in the construction of these EFTs, we use the method of cosets developed for non-equilibrium systems. It turns out that the difference between the EFTs with and without second-sound modes can be understood as arising from different choices of a new kind of inverse Higgs constraint. Finally, we demonstrate that it is possible to bypass the need for new inverse Higgs constraints by formulating EFTs on a new kind of manifold that is like the usual fluid worldvolume, but with reduced gauge symmetries.

description: Die Erneuerung des Dialogs zwischen Christen und Juden und darüber hinaus braucht natürlich auch eine konkrete, praktische Umsetzung. In unserer Erklärung orthodoxer Rabbiner zum Christentum haben wir jedoch keine Beispiele selbst genannt, weil sich die Ausgangssituationen und Schwerpunkte des Dialogs in den verschiedenen Ländern/Regionen teilweise gravierend unterscheiden. In den USA gibt es beispielsweise seit langem einen intensiven Dialog und auch praktische Zusammenarbeit im sozialen Bereich, in Europa haben wir in den meisten Ländern sehr kleine, schwache jüdische Gemeinden, in Israel sind Juden in der Mehrheit und Christen in der Minderheit, wodurch sich wieder völlig neue Sichtweisen und Schwerpunkte ergeben. Für Europa – und speziell Deutschland – ergibt sich für mich folgende Situation, die als Grundlage dient, um Vorschläge für die Bildung zu entwickeln. Die religiösen Traditionen dienen bei uns immer weniger als ein innerer moralischer Kompass und wichtige Quelle der gesellschaftlichen Werte und Normen. Heute leben wir in einer Zeit der Extreme: eine immer weiter fortschreitende Säkularisierung, die teilweise mit einer Abwendung von jeglichen Werten und einer antireligiösen Grundstimmung einhergeht, und andererseits ein erstarkender religiöser Fundamentalismus und Extremismus als Antwort.

description: Experiments were conducted in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, to assess the effect of the physiological regulator aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) as a post-harvest treatment on a lowchill peach variety grown in Puerto Rico. Fruits of 'FlordaPrince' were harvested at the 40% green peel color stage and dipped in AVG aqueous solutions (0 and 300 mg/L) for 120 or 300 seconds, allowed to air-dry, and stored at 10 or 20 °C. Five days after exposure to AVG, fruit weight loss, external coloration, acidity, and soluble solids were determined. When fruits were stored at 10° C, there was no detectable difference between AVG-treated and control fruits. However, when stored at 20° C, by five days after treatment fruits exposed to AVG for either two or five minutes were firmer than control fruits. These results indicate that, under the conditions of this research, the benefit of post-harvest AVG treatment in melting flesh peach depended more on post-treatment temperature than on time of exposure to AVG.

description: Multiplayer games have long been used as testbeds in artificial intelligence research, aptly referred to as the Drosophila of artificial intelligence. Traditionally, researchers have focused on using well-known games to build strong agents. This progress, however, can be better informed by characterizing games and their topological landscape. Tackling this latter question can facilitate understanding of agents and help determine what game an agent should target next as part of its training. Here, we show how network measures applied to response graphs of large-scale games enable the creation of a landscape of games, quantifying relationships between games of varying sizes and characteristics. We illustrate our findings in domains ranging from canonical games to complex empirical games capturing the performance of trained agents pitted against one another. Our results culminate in a demonstration leveraging this information to generate new and interesting games, including mixtures of empirical games synthesized from real world games.

description: Den Willen unseres Vaters im Himmel tun, so lautet die markante Überschrift des Dokuments der orthodoxen Rabbinerkonferenz zur Klärung des theologischen Verhältnisses zum Christentum vom 3. Dezember 2015.1 In der Einleitung heißt es: »Nach fast zwei Jahrtausenden der Feindseligkeit und Entfremdung erkennen wir, orthodoxe Rabbiner, Leiter von Gemeinden, Institutionen und Seminaren in Israel, den Vereinigten Staaten und Europa, die sich uns darbietende historische Gelegenheit: Wir möchten den Willen unseres Vaters im Himmel tun, indem wir die uns angebotene Hand unserer christlichen Brüder und Schwestern ergreifen. Juden und Christen müssen als Partner zusammenarbeiten, um den moralischen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit zu begegnen.« Den Willen tun, indem man die Hand der Versöhnung ausstreckt, das dürfte wahrlich kein leichter Schritt nach zweitausend Jahren christlicher Judenfeindschaft gewesen sein. Zu der Entstehungsgeschichte dieser Erklärung, dem theologischen Hintergrund, den jüdisch-rabbinischen Kontexten, den Diskussionen und der Bedeutung für Juden und Christen ist nun ein bemerkenswertes Buch erschienen.

Sie hat das Judentum abgelöst – ein bildlicher Ausdruck der Substitutionstheologie. ›Die jüdische Religion, die Synagoga, hat abgewirtschaftet. Sie ist blind gegenüber der Wahrheit. Ihr Stab, ihre Kraft ist zerbrochen, die Gesetzestafeln, die Torah gleiten ihr aus der Hand. Gott hat sie verlassen, den Bund gekündigt.‹ So könnte man die Theologie zusammenfassen, die seit den Kirchenvätern der ersten Jahrhunderte nach Christus die Lehre der Kirche zum Judentum darstellte.

description: Soil degradation has been identified as one of the major threats to European soils. This article describes the conditions under which wind erosion of soils occurs in Ukraine and the potential soil loss caused by this problem. The purpose of this paper is to find the best option, from both an economic and an environmental point of view, to conserve and restore soil productivity on the land suffering from and at risk of wind erosion. Losses of humus and nutrients from the soil through deflation have been calculated for the districts of Volyn in 1999–2009, and ecological and economic damage from the loss of soil through deflation has been identified for Volyn district and the village of Pichcha. Three options to mitigate and compensate for the losses of organic matter and nutrients on the affected lands are assessed for the comparative effectiveness of the measures in the Pichcha village, Shatsky district, Volyn region during 2008–2012. In these sites, the research identified that the best measure against soil deflation as changing the economic use of lands at risk of soil erosion by wind. In particular, the halting of cattle grazing and the creation of overseeding grass meadows. This options has a number of advantages, including: the cultivation of perennial grasses generates income from the sale of seed clover in the first year and hay for following four years; through nitrogen fixing bacteria associated with the annual grasses improving nitrogen levels in the soil; and, through halting the deflationary processes in the different soil types in the investigated areas and allowing for the steady build up of a fertile humus layer.

description: We detect a gradual, long-term change in the shape of the X-ray spectrum of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125, such that the spectrum of the source can no longer be described as a blackbody spectrum. The change is accompanied by an energy-dependent change in the pulse profile. If the X-ray emission is influenced by the magnetic field of the pulsar, these changes in spectral shape may point to precession of the neutron star.

description: Shaikh Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmi, geb. 1962, seit 1999 Minister für Stiftungen und religiöse Angelegenheiten (Wizarat al/Awqaf wa al Shu'un al Diniyya) im Sultanat von Oman, hat ein anregendes Buch verfasst: Religiöse Toleranz. Eine Vision für eine neue Welt.2 Darin legt er ein Konzept für den Beitrag der verschiedenen Religionen im interreligiösen Dialog für das Zusammenleben der Menschheit in Frieden, Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit vor. Er ist der Minister für alle Religionen seines Landes und entwickelt eine Vision für eine neue Welt durch religiöse Toleranz. Sein Buch wirbt mit sieben Reden über einen Zeitraum von 2005 bis 2014 weltweit von Aachen über Chicago, Kairo, Cambridge, Oxford bis Maskat in jeweils fünf Sprachen (deutsch, englisch, arabisch, hebräisch und chinesisch), um Ideen für ein Weltethos, das ein besseres Zusammenleben der Menschheit in Frieden, Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit anzielt. Der religiöse Hintergrund von Shaikh Abdullah: die ibaditische Tradition der islamischen Religion Im Oman gibt es eine Form des Islam, die Ibaditen. Der Prophet Mohammed hatte durch einen Brief die Herrscher des Oman eingeladen, den Koran zu studieren und sich zum Islam zu bekehren. Sie nahmen die Religion Allahs freiwillig an, während alle anderen Stämme durch Kriege unterworfen wurden. Frieden und Toleranz kennzeichnen den dortigen Islam. Die Ibaditen des Oman leben friedlich mit Sun - niten und Shiiten zusammen. Aus dem benachbarten Indien gibt es Hindus. Die ehemals afrikanischen Sklaven leben ihre angestammten »Naturreligionen «. Inzwischen gibt es 50 christliche Gemeinschaften verschiedener Konfessionen und Sprachen und weitere religiöse Gruppen. Shaikh Abdullah lebt als überzeugter und bekennender Muslim aus Geschichte und Tradition des Oman, das an der südöstlichen Spitze der arabischen Halbinsel zwischen indischem Ozean und chinesischem Meer liegt. Der Minister gestaltet seine Politik aus der religiösen Toleranz und geschichtlichen Tradition seines Landes und der Aufgeschlossenheit seines Sultans. Nach dem Ende der Britischen Mandatszeit und der konservativen Regierung seines Vaters hat Sultan Qabus entschlossen eine Öffnung und Modernisierung seines Landes herbeigeführt (Straßenbau, Schulen auch für Mädchen, Krankenhäuser, moderne Verwaltung).

description: Food safety Is of Increasing Importance In higher-Income countries where con­sumers demand higher quality and saf­er food. They will do so through the market when Information makes it possible. They will demand better assurances of safety through govern­ment regulations where externalities and health risks prevail. The microeco­nomics of this demand for Increased food safety Is discussed in terms of how It can lead to non-tariff barriers to trade that might ultimately be regulated by the GATT. The public goods nature of food safety Is explored along a con­tinuum of food quality characteristics for the purpose of Identifying when government regulations are needed.
»Können die Wissenden und die Unwissenden gleich sein?« Ein islamischer Zugang zur Bildung

description: Nach dem islamischen Verständnis ist der Mensch die Krönung der Schöpfung.3 Er ist es, dem vom Geist Gottes4 eingehaucht und der in bester Form5 erschaffen worden ist. Mit Vernunft,6 Freiheit7 und anderen Besonderheiten und Fähigkeiten ausgestattet, ist er in der Lage, seine Aufgabe als Statthalter Gottes 8 auf Erden wahrzunehmen und die gesamte Schöpfung, die ihm anvertraut worden ist, in Verantwortung zu nützen. Um seiner Verantwortung jedoch gerecht zu werden und gemäß seiner natürlichen Veranlagung handeln zu können, bedarf es einer Aktivierung bzw. ständigen Weiterentwicklung seiner Potentiale im Lichte der Offenbarung.9 Dies ist nach islamischem Verständnis nur durch Bildung möglich. Aus dieser Perspektive betrachtet stellt Bildung nicht nur einen zentralen Aspekt der islamischen Religionspädagogik, sondern das Kernanliegen der islamischen Botschaft dar. Auch wenn die aktuelle Lage in den mehrheitlich muslimisch bevölkerten Ländern eine inhärente Bildungsferne im Islam vermuten lässt, war und ist der Islam für die Muslime stets die wichtigste Form der Erziehung und Bildung. Dies gründet vor allem darin, dass die islamischen Quellen, vor allem der Koran und die Tradition des Gesandten Muhammad (gest. 623 n.Chr.) großen Wert auf Bildung legen. So wird im Koran das Wort Wissen in seinen verschiedenen Prägungen ca. 750 Mal erwähnt, was 1% der Gesamtzahl der erwähnten Wörter imKoran entspricht.10 Diese wertschätzende Haltung zur Bildung ist wahrscheinlich einer der entscheidenden Gründe dafür gewesen, dass es den Muslimen gelungen ist, in relativ kurzer Zeit nach der Entstehung des Islams das zivilisatorische Zentrum der Welt zu werden. 11 Was die islamischen Quellen konkret über Bildung beinhalten und wie die muslimischen Gelehrten die Quellen verstanden und ausgelegt haben, soll im Laufe dieses Beitrages erläutert werden. 12 In diesem Zusammenhang soll zunächst der Fokus auf die wichtigsten islamischen Quellen, den Koran und die Sunna, gerichtet werden. Zum Schluss soll kurz auf die aktuellen Herausforderungen im europäischen Kontext eingegangen werden.

description: Hilbert-Noether theorem states that a current associated to diffeomorphism invariance of a Lagrangian vanishes on shell modulo a divergence of an arbitrary superpotential. Application of the Noether procedure to physical Lagrangians yields, however, meaningful (and measurable) currents. The well known solution to this ``paradox'' is to involve the variation of the metric tensor. Such procedure, for the field considered on a fixed (flat) background, is sophisticated logically (one need to introduce the variation of a fixed field) and formal. We analyze the Noether procedure for a generic diffeomorphism invariant $p$-form field model. We show that the Noether current of the field considered on a variable background coincides with the current treated in a fixed geometry. Consistent description of the canonical energy-momentum current is possible only if the dynamics of the geometry (gravitation) is taken into account. However, even the ``truncated'' consideration yields the proper expression. We examine the examples of the free $p$-form gauge field theory, the GR in the coframe representation and the metric-free electrodynamics. Although, the variation of a metric tensor is not acceptable in the latter case, the Noether procedure yields the proper result.

description: Les effluents d’abattoirs de viande rouge sont caractérisés par une charge microbiologique et organique importante ; les coliformes indicateurs de la contamination fécale, les bactéries pathogènes, et les parasites. La dissémination d’agents pathogènes à partir de ces effluents et éventuellement les boues qui résultent de leur traitement, constitue un risque microbiologique potentiel pour le milieu récepteur et la santé publique. La charge organique est caractérisée par un DCO qui peut dépasser les 3000 mg d’O2 /L. Le traitement par électrocoagulation avec des électrodes de fer et d‘aluminium permet un abattement de 5 unités logarithmique sur les bactéries. Cet abattement peut aller jusqu'à 100% (désinfection total) avec l’augmentation de la tension électrique au bornes de la cellule électrolytique, et l’ajout de Chlorure de sodium.
Leptophobic $Z^\prime$ bosons in the secluded UMSSM

description: We perform a comprehensive analysis of the secluded UMSSM model, consistent with present experimental constraints. We find that in this model the additional $Z^\prime$ gauge boson can be leptophobic without resorting to gauge kinetic mixing and, consequently, also $d$-quark-phobic, thus lowering the LHC bounds on its mass. The model can accommodate very light singlinos as DM candidates, consistent with present day cosmological and collider constraints. Light charginos and neutralinos are responsible for muon anomalous magnetic predictions within 1$σ$ of the measured experimental value. Finally, we look at the possibility that a lighter $Z^\prime$, expected to decay mainly into chargino pairs and followed by the decay into lepton pairs, could be observed at 27 TeV.

Auf dem Weg zu einem Bet Midrasch im Geist von Franz Rosenzweig
Creators: name: Meir, Ephraim
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für christlich-jüdische Begegnung im Kontext
Year: 2021

description: Franz Rosenzweig war ein großer dialogischer Denker und ein Pionier auf dem Feld der jüdischen Erziehung. Er war ein Rückkehrer zum jüdischen Volk, der andere Juden zu ihrem jüdischen Leben zurückführen wollte, ohne die Verbindung zur allgemeinen Kultur zu verlieren. Weil er davon träumte, das Judentum in Deutschland neu zu beleben, begann er mit einem Plan zur Reform des jüdischen Lernens in den Schulen. Als Leiter des »Freien Jüdischen Lehrhauses« in Frankfurt strebte er danach, die traditionelle Institution des Bet Midrasch, des Hauses für jüdische Studien, zu erneuern. Lernen war für das jüdische Leben immer von großer Bedeutung. Rosenzweig wollte ein »Neues Lernen« entwickeln. Sein Studienhaus in Frankfurt war ein Versuch, Juden zu ihrem innersten Selbst zurückzubringen und ihnen eine neue Lebendigkeit zu vermitteln. Das Ziel des Studienhauses war, Teilnehmer »lebendiger« zu machen.2 In diesem Beitrag arbeite ich die Aktualität von Rosenzweigs Studienhaus für heutige Juden in Deutschland heraus. 3 »Lernen« die Jahrhunderte hindurch Durch die Jahrhunderte hindurch wurde das Lernen, das sowohl Studium wie Lehren umfasst, im jüdischen Leben hoch geschätzt. Yohanan ben Zakkai war dazu bereit, das belagerte Jerusalem zu verlassen, um sein Bet Midrasch in Yavne zu gründen. Rabbi Akiba übertrat das römische Gesetz, das jüdisches Lernen untersagte, und bezahlte dieses Lernen mit dem Leben. Für ihn war das Lehren derTorah wie Wasser für einen Fisch: Ein Jude, der nicht lernt, ist wie ein Fisch ohne Wasser. 4 Im talmudischen Traktat Avoda Zara 3b heißt es, dass Gott selbst drei Stunden am Tag die Torah studiert. In den folgenden drei Stunden richtet er die Welt, aber wenn er erkennt, dass die Welt des Todes schuldig ist, wechselt er vom Thron des Gerichts zu dem der Barmherzigkeit. In den nächsten drei Stunden ernährt er die ganze Welt, und während der letzten drei Stunden spielt er mit Leviathan, dem Seeungeheuer, wie in Psalm 104,26 bezeugt.5 Im Hebräischen gehören die WörterTorah (Lehren) und moreh (Lehrer) zusammen. Der Lehrer wird auch Abba (Vater) genannt, er »erzeugte« sozusagen seine Schüler. Im jüdischen Leben ist das Studium eine religiöse Verpflichtung, und ebenso ist es ein Gebot, Kinder zu lehren (Deut 6,7; 11,19).

description: One of the fundamental problems in Bayesian statistics is the approximation of the posterior distribution. Gibbs sampler and coordinate ascent variational inference are renownedly utilized approximation techniques that rely on stochastic and deterministic approximations. In this paper, we define fundamental sets of densities frequently used in Bayesian inference. We shall be concerned with the clarification of the two schemes from the set-theoretical point of view. This new way provides an alternative mechanism for analyzing the two schemes endowed with pedagogical insights.
