title: Names. A new approach to the figurative writing in Rousseau’s Julie ou La Nouvelle Héloïse
Creators: name: Rexing-Lieberwirth, Sylvia
Publisher: name: University Library Heidelberg
Year: 2010

description: Lately, the fictional names of the letter writers in Rousseau’s novel seem to have ceased tempting scientific research in an illuminating way. Mistakenly regarded as negligible, they remain behind the predominance of the pronouns. And yet, it is worth giving them a closer look since they might turn out to be not only fictional but also figural and thus to be the key to a deeper understanding of the allegoric dimensions of Rousseau’s poetics. In the essay presented here, intertextuality is serving as the contributing structural principle in the attempt to make them reappear as meaningfull signs. It is the very attempt of an extraction of secrets so obviously put on display by the author, so well forgotten by the reader. The degree of difficulty of revealing those secrets is determined by the insight that the process of reading in itself is always belated; therefore, the attempt at entirely ‘getting’ a literary text, considering it in its totality, is always futile. Nevertheless, that is the challenge.

description: Semiconducting oxides possess a variety of intriguing electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, and native defects play a crucial role in these systems. In this study, we study the influence of native defects on these properties of $α$-MoO$_{3}$ using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. From the formation energy calculations, it is concluded that Mo vacancies are difficult to form in the system, while O and Mo-O co-vacancies are energetically quite favorable. We further find that vacancies give rise to mid-gap states (trap states) that remarkably affect the magneto-optoelectronic properties of the material. Our calculations indicate that a single Mo vacancy leads to half-metallic behavior, and also induces a large magnetic moment of 5.98 $μ_{B}$. On the other hand, for the single O vacancy case, the band gap disappears completely, but the system remains in a non-magnetic state. For Mo-O co-vacancies of two types considered in this work, a reduced band gap is found, along with an induced magnetic moment of 2.0 $μ_{B}$. Furthermore, a few finite peaks below the main band edge are observed in the absorption spectra of configurations with Mo and O vacancies, while they are absent in the Mo-O co-vacancies of both types, just like in the pristine state. From the ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, stability and sustainability of induced magnetic moment at room temperate is verified. Our findings will enable the development of defect strategies that maximize the functionality of the system, and further help in designing highly efficient magneto-optoelectronic and spintronic devices.

Linear photogalvanic effect in surface states of topological insulators

description: Theory of the Linear photogalvanic effect is developed for direct optical transitions between surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators. The photocurrent governed by the orientation of the polarization plane of light and caused by the warping of the energy dispersion of two-dimensional carriers is calculated. It is shown that both the shift contribution caused by coordinate shifts of the particle wavepackets during the optical transitions and the ballistic contribution caused by interference of the optical absorption and scattering by disorder have generally the same order of magnitude. The ballistic contribution is present owing to electron-hole asymmetry of topological surface states and has a frequency dependence in contrast to the shift photocurrent. In the nonlinear in the light intensity regime appearing due to saturation of the direct optical transitions the ballistic contribution dominates. The nontrivial dependence of the photocurrent on the polarization plane orientation in the nonlinear regime appears solely due to the ballistic contribution. Our findings allow separating the ballistic and shift contributions to the Linear photogalvanic current in experiments.

title: « Je suis l’autre Léon » - fictionalisation de l’authenticité dans La Quarantaine de J.-M. G. Le Clézio
Creators: name: Köstler, Cécile
Publisher: name: University Library Heidelberg
Year: 2010

description: Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's work takes the position of the odd one out in the canon of French contemporary literature. Abroad, it has attracted even less attention. However, this has changed since he received the Nobel Prize for literature in 2008. As a characteristic trait most of his novels contain biographic and autobiographic aspects which are intertwined with fictitious ones. This article deals with the interrelation of fiction and reality in Le Clézio's novel La Quarantaine (1995) and analyses its effects on the reader. While the author asserts the truthfulness of the stories via intertextual references among other things – the most obvious one being the reference to the poet Rimbaud, he revises at the same time this said truthfulness via the untenable nature of the storyline. This emphasis on authenticity and fiction challenges the reader to surrender his or her indifference toward the polyphonic nature of the novel and invites him or her to participate in the processing of the story.

description: Sneakers were designated as the most counterfeited fashion item online, with three times more risk in a trade than any other fashion purchase. As the market expands, the current sneaker scene displays several vulnerabilities and trust flaws, mostly related to the legitimacy of assets or actors. In this paper, we investigate various blockchain-based mechanisms to address these large-scale trust issues. We argue that (i) pre-certified and tracked assets through the use of non-fungible tokens can ensure the genuine nature of an asset and authenticate its owner more effectively during peer-to-peer trading across a marketplace; (ii) a game-theoretic-based system with economic incentives for participating users can greatly reduce the rate of online fraud and address missed delivery deadlines; (iii) a decentralized dispute resolution system biased in favour of an honest party can solve potential conflicts more reliably.

description: Jarzynski equality and related fluctuation theorems can be formulated for various setups. Such an equality was recently derived for nonunitary quantum evolutions described by unital quantum operations, i.e., for completely positive, trace-preserving maps, which preserve the maximally mixed state. We analyze here a more general case of arbitrary quantum operations on finite systems and derive the corresponding form of the Jarzynski equality. It contains a correction term due to nonunitality of the quantum map. Bounds for the relative size of this correction term are established and they are applied for exemplary systems subjected to quantum channels acting on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space.

description: Recent years have seen a revaluation of the importance of Juan L. Ortiz (1896-1978) in the history of Argentinian poetry. From the publication of his Complete Works, issued by Universidad Nacional del Litoral in 1996, texts previously impossible to find were put into circulation, enabling critics and readers access to his work. In this paper I emphasize the musical aspect of Ortiz’s work. Undoubtedly, we must distinguish music in poetry from music itself: Musicality in poetry is given precisely in the tension between what you say and how you say it. I undertake the task of describing the distinctive elements that make the Ortiz’s poetry musical. I divide this analysis into three parts. The first two sections work with the possibilities inherent in the language (phonemes, rhythms, melodic curves, etc.), while the third is an analysis of music as a poetic motif.

description: Literal acts of de-presentation and percepticidio, the forced disappearance of people during the last Argentine dictatorship (1976-1983) challenges aesthetic boundaries. The situation as experienced by the children of the desaparecidos is more complicated as a result of historical distance. In the mid-1990s, these children emerged as the so-called “Generación HIJOS”; they were, as poet Martín Gambarotta puts it, a “camada cadaver,” a phrase referring to Néstor Perlongher’s “Cadáveres,” a paradigmatic poem written under the dictatorship but only published in 1987. Part of the post-dictatorial generation that faces the uncanny fact of the “presencia de la ausencia” in Argentina, Gambarotta’s Punctum is both a réécriture and a new, highly mediatized poetic écriture of Perlongher’s neo-baroque opus. Punctum offers an accelerated stream of poetic images, where the discovery of the corpses—“produced” by the political regime and made possible by social and perceptive conditions—occurs despite extensive interference, which in turn creates a large—“zapping”—horizon of metonymic displacements. This interferences also causes the protagonist, Cadáver, to lose his mnemonic and moral orientation. Punctum thus becomes both a trashy allegorical post-dictatorial epos and one of the most significant poems of the Argentine “poesía de los noventa.” This article focuses mainly on the importance of poetic discourse an imagination after enforced disappearance and biblioclasm; on a comparative analysis of Perlongher’s and Gambarotta’s text; and on an interpretation of Punctum as a post-traumatic “chambre Claire,” one that follows Roland Barthes’s concepts as well as the notion of “punctum.”

description: The influence of migration on the stochastic dynamics of subdivided populations is still an open issue in various evolutionary models. We develop here a self-consistent mean-field-like method in order to determine the effects of migration on relevant nonequilibrium properties, such as the mean fixation time. If evolution strongly favors coexistence of species (e.g., balancing selection), the mean fixation time develops an unexpected minimum as a function of the migration rate. Our analysis hinges only on the presence of a separation of time scales between local and global dynamics and therefore it carries over to other nonequilibrium processes in physics, biology, ecology, and social sciences.

We study CP violation effects due to mixing and decay of the final state kaon. We find that ignoring these effects produce a shift in $γ$ of order $ε_{K}/r_{B}$, an enhancement of $1/r_B$ compared to the naive expectation. We then show how to take these effects into account such that, in principle, they will not introduce any theoretical error in the extraction of $γ$.

description: This study aimed to investigate the association between bedtime and cardiac autonomic function in older adults. This cross-sectional study included community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 65 years. Self-reported bedtime was categorized as early (< 21:30), intermediate (21:30–22:30), and late (> 22:30). Cardiac autonomic function was evaluated by HRV. The lowest tertiles for each HRV parameter were defined as unhealthy indicators. A total of 3,729 individuals participated, with mean age of 76.3 ± 6.6 years. After controlling for various covariates, late bedtime was associated with a lower risk for unhealthy total power [Odds ratio (OR) = 0.74; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.59–0.93] and low frequency power (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.55–0.87) than intermediate bedtime. In contrast, early bedtime was correlated with a higher risk of poor total power (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.05–1.45) and high frequency power (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.00–1.39). When further specifying sleep duration and physical disability into the regression models, the inverse association between late bedtime and unhealthy HRV remained; however, the association between early bedtime and HRV disappeared. Accordingly, we concluded that in terms of cardiac autonomic function, early bedtime in older adults is not necessarily beneficial for their health outcomes, whereas late bedtime may not be detrimental.

description: The circadian clock modulates almost all vital aspects of our physiology and metabolism, including processes relevant to dentistry, such as healing, inflammation and nociception. Chronotherapy is an emerging field aiming to improve therapeutic efficacy and decrease adverse effects on health outcomes. This scoping review aimed to systematically map the evidence underpinning chronotherapy in dentistry and to identify gaps in knowledge. We conducted a systematic scoping search using four databases (Medline, Scopus, CINAHL and Embase). We identified 3908 target articles screened by two blinded reviewers, and only original animal and human studies investigating the chronotherapeutic use of drugs or interventions in dentistry were included. Of the 24 studies included, 19 were human studies and five were animal studies. Chrono-radiotherapy and chrono-chemotherapy reduced treatment side effects and improved therapeutic response, leading to higher survival rates in cancer patients. Animal studies reported that tooth movement and periodontal tissue response to orthodontic forces follow a diurnal rhythm that might influence bone metabolism. Profound and prolonged local anesthesia could be achieved when injected in the evening. Although the overall quality of the included studies was low, chronotherapy applications in dentistry seem to have favourable outcomes, especially in head and neck cancer treatments.

description: Quantum walks on binary trees are used in many quantum algorithms to achieve important speedup over classical algorithms. The formulation of this kind of algorithms as quantum circuit presents the advantage of being easily readable, executable on circuit based quantum computers and simulators and optimal on the usage of resources. We propose a strategy to compose quantum circuit that performs quantum walk on binary trees following universal gate model quantum computation principles. We give a particular attention to NAND formula evaluation algorithm as it could have many applications in game theory and reinforcement learning. We therefore propose an application of this algorithm and show how it can be used to train a quantum reinforcement learning agent in a two player game environment.

description: Although most two-dimensional (2D) materials are non-ferroelectric with highly symmetric lattices, symmetry breaking may take place in their bilayers upon certain stacking order, giving rise to so-called sliding ferroelectricity where the vertical polarizations can be electrically reversed via interlayer translation. However, it is not supposed to appear in systems like graphene bilayer with centro-symmetry at any stacking configuration, and the origin of the recently reported ferroelectricity in graphene bilayer intercalated between h-BN (Nature 2020, 588, 71) is still unclear. Here we propose a model of across-layer sliding ferroelectricity that arises from the asymmetry of next neighbor interlayer couplings. The vertical polarizations in intercalated centro-symmetric 2D materials like graphene bilayer can be switched via multilayer sliding, and the observed ferroelectric hysteresis can be clarified. Moreover, such ferroelectricity can exist in a series of other heterolayers with quasi-degenerate polar states, like graphene bilayer or trilayer on BN substrate, or even with a molecule layer on surface where each molecule can store 1 bit data independently, resolving the bottleneck issue of sliding ferroelectricity for high-density data storage.

description: We give an overview of partial positivity conditions for line bundles, mostly from a cohomological point of view. Although the current work is to a large extent of expository nature, we present some minor improvements over the existing literature and a new result: a Kodaira-type vanishing theorem for effective q-ample Du Bois divisors and log canonical pairs.

description: High-resolution spectroscopy studies of ultra-hot Jupiters have been key in our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres. Observing into the atmospheres of these giant planets allows for direct constraints on their atmospheric compositions and dynamics while laying the groundwork for new research regarding their formation and evolution environments. Two of the most well-studied ultra-hot Jupiters are WASP-76b and WASP-121b, with multiple detected chemical species and strong signatures of their atmospheric dynamics. We take a new look at these two exceptional ultra-hot Jupiters by reanalyzing the transit observations taken with ESPRESSO at the Very Large Telescope and attempt to detect additional species. To extract the planetary spectra of the two targets, we corrected for the telluric absorption and removed the stellar spectrum contributions. We then exploited new synthetic templates that were specifically designed for ultra-hot Jupiters in combination with the cross-correlation technique to unveil species that remained undetected by previous analyses. We add a novel detection of Ba+ to the known atmospheric compositions of WASP-76b and WASP-121b, the heaviest species detected to date in any exoplanetary atmosphere, with additional new detections of Co and Sr+ and a tentative detection of Ti+ for WASP-121b. We also confirm the presence of Ca+, Cr, Fe, H, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, and V on both WASP-76b and WASP-121b, with the addition of Ca, Fe+, and Ni for the latter. Finally, we also confirm the clear asymmetric absorption feature of Ca+ on WASP-121b, with an excess absorption at the bluer wavelengths and an effective planet radius beyond the Roche lobe. This indicates that the signal may arise from the escape of planetary atmosphere.

description: The cognitive ability to self-monitor one’s current performance is important for hospital nurses to maintain safety and health. However, studies on the effects of rotating shift work on self-monitoring ability are insufficient. We examined the differences in self-monitoring accuracy across shifts in a rotating three-shift system among 30 female ward nurses (mean age 28.2 years). Their self-monitoring ability was calculated by subtracting the predicted reaction times of the psychomotor vigilance task performed just before exiting the workplace from the actual reaction times. A mixed-effect model was employed to assess the effects of shift, awake hours, and prior sleep duration on self-monitoring ability. We observed impaired self-monitoring ability in nurses, particularly after the night shift. Although actual performance remained high across all shifts, their self-predictions on reaction times became pessimistic in the night shift, resulting in a difference of approximately−100 msec. The effect of the shift on self-monitoring was obvious even after adjusting for sleep duration and hours awake. Our findings indicate that the misalignment between their working hours and circadian rhythms may affect even professional nurses. Occupational management that emphasizes maintaining circadian rhythms will improve the safety and health of nurses.

description: Highly quantum non-linear interactions between different bosonic modes lead to the generation of quantum non-Gaussian states, i.e. states that cannot be written as mixtures of Gaussian states. A paradigmatic example is given by Schroedinger's cat states, that is coherent superpositions of coherent states with opposite amplitude. We here consider a novel quantum non-Gaussianity criterion recently proposed in the literature and prove its effectiveness on Schroedinger cat states evolving in a lossy bosonic channel. We prove that quantum non-Gaussianity can be effectively detected for high values of losses and for large coherent amplitudes of the cat states.

description: In this paper we introduce and investigate a one-parameter family of polynomials. They are semisymmetric, i.e. symmetric in the variables with odd and even index separately. In fact, the family forms a basis of the space of semisymmetric polynomials. For two values of the parameter r, namely r=1/2 and r=1, the polynomials have a representation theoretic meaning. In general, they form the semisymmetric analogue of (shifted) Jack polynomials.

description: Con il seguente lavoro vengono descritte le varie attività e azioni intraprese per riprogettare ricevitore SXL per l’antenna di Noto. Il nuovo progetto del ricevitore riguarderà in particolar modo la parte elettronica di trattamento del segnale raccolto dai tre feed systems. Nel nuovo progetto, inoltre, saranno introdotte alcune variazioni rispetto alla configurazione originale in particolar modo sul sistema di instradamento dei segnali verso il back-end dove verranno utilizzati dei link in fibra ottica anziché la classica discesa in cavo coassiale. Il progetto ha seguito le linee guida di “massima semplicità” e “massima robustezza” (anche da un punto di vista delle sovratensioni causate da scariche atmosferiche).

description: Changes in day-length entrain the endogenous clock of organisms leading to complex responses to photoperiod. In long-lived organisms experiencing several seasons this response of the clock to photoperiod is phenotypically plastic. However, short-lived organisms often experience a single season without pronounced changes in day-length. For those, a plastic response of the clock to different seasons would not necessarily be adaptive. In aquatic ecosystems, zooplankton species like Daphnia live only for some weeks, i.e. one week up to ca. two months. However, they often show a succession of clones that are seasonally adapted to environmental changes. Here, we found that 16 Daphnia clones per each of three seasons ( = 48 clones) from the same pond and year differed in clock gene expression with a homogenous gene expression pattern in ephippia-hatched spring clones and a bimodal expression pattern in summer and autumn populations indicating an ongoing adaptation process. We clearly demonstrate that spring clones were adapted to a short, and summer clones to a long photoperiod. Furthermore, we found that gene expression of the melatonin-synthesis enzyme AANAT was always lowest in summer clones. In the Anthropocene, Daphnia’s clock might be disturbed by light-pollution and global warming. Since Daphnia is a key-organism in trophic carbon transfer, a disruption of its clock rhythm would be devastating for the stability of freshwater ecosystems. Our results are an important step in understanding the adaptation of Daphnia’s clock to environmental changes.
The subarcsecond mid-infrared view of local active galactic nuclei: I. The N- and Q-band imaging atlas

description: We present the first subarcsecond-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) atlas of local active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our atlas contains 253 AGN with a median redshift of z=0.016, and includes all publicly available MIR imaging performed to date with ground-based 8-m class telescopes, a total of 895 independent measurements. Of these, more than 60% are published here for the first time. We detect extended nuclear emission in at least 21% of the objects, while another 19% appear clearly point-like, and the remaining objects cannot be constrained. Where present, elongated nuclear emission aligns with the ionization cones in Seyferts. Subarcsecond resolution allows us to isolate the AGN emission on scales of a few tens of parsecs and to obtain nuclear photometry in multiple filters for the objects. Median spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for the different optical AGN types are constructed and individual MIR 12 and 18micron continuum luminosities are computed. These range over more than six orders of magnitude. In comparison to the arcsecond-scale MIR emission as probed by Spitzer, the continuum emission is much lower on subarcsecond scales in many cases. The silicate feature strength is similar on both scales and generally appears in emission (absorption) in type I (II) AGN. However, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission appears weaker or absent on subarcsecond scales. The differences of the MIR SEDs on both scales are particularly large for AGN/starburst composites and close-by (and weak) AGN. The nucleus dominates over the total emission of the galaxy only at luminosities >=10^(44)erg/s. The AGN MIR atlas is well suited not only for detailed investigation of individual sources but also for statistical studies of AGN unification.

description: The magnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions are important ingredients for many interesting phenomena, such as the Chiral Magnetic Effect, Chiral Magnetic Wave, the directed flow $v_1$ of $D^0$ mesons and the splitting of the spin polarization of the $Λ$/$\barΛ$. Quantitative studies of these phenomena however suffer from limited understanding on the dynamical evolution of these fields in the medium created by the collisions, which remains a critical and challenging problem. The initial magnetic fields from the colliding nuclei decay very fast in the vacuum but their lifetime could be extended through medium response due to electrically conducting quarks and antiquarks. Here we perform a detailed analysis of such medium effect on the dynamical magnetic fields by numerically solving the Maxwell's equations concurrently with the expanding medium described by viscous hydrodynamics, under the assumption of negligible back reaction of the fields on the fluid evolution. Our results suggest a considerable enhancement of late time magnetic fields, the magnitude of which depends sensitively on the fireball expansion as well as the medium electric conductivity both before and during hydrodynamic stage.
