description: Halecium balei Fraser, 1911
Halecium gracile Bale, 1888: 759, pl. 14, figs. 1–3 [invalid junior primary homonym of Halecium gracile Verrill, 1874]. Halecium balei Fraser, 1911: 46 [new replacement name for Halecium gracile Bale, 1888, not Halecium gracile Verrill, 1874].
Syntypes. NMV F58760: Australia, New South Wales, Port Stephens, on Aglaophenia sp., labelled as “co-types”; two microslides (Stranks 1993: 6).
Type locality. Australia: Port Stephens and Port Jackson (Bale 1888).
Current status.? Invalid.
Remarks. Halecium balei was proposed by Fraser (1911) as a replacement name for H. gracile Bale, 1888, recognized as an invalid junior primary homonym of H. gracile Verrill, 1874. In turn, H. balei has been held to be a junior subjective synonym of H. delicatulum Coughtrey, 1876 (Vervoort & Watson 2003), although the status of the species is still open to question (Galea et al. 2014: 15).
As an objective synonym of H. gracile Bale, 1888, Halecium balei Fraser, 1911 has the same name-bearing type material (ICZN Art. 72.7), namely that at the NMV (NMV F58760). A search for type material of H. gracile in collections at the Australian Museum, Sydney, was unsuccessful (Stephen Keable, personal communication, 24 January 2017).

description: In aviation, the impact of threats is becoming increasingly significant, particularly for global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Two relevant GNSS threats are represented by jamming and spoofing. In order to evaluate the technological solutions to counter GNSS attacks, such attacks should be assessed by means of a proper GNSS threat simulator. This work shows the implementation and the testing results of a GNSS security impact simulator which injects the desired threat scenarios as a deviations on the GNSS actual measurements. The proposed simulator can be integrated in both real- and fast-time simulation environments. The provided results confirm the effectiveness of the simulator, and include in-flight demonstrations by means of a flight experimental vehicle.

description: The field of molecular electronics has emerged from efforts to understand electron propagation through single molecules and to use them in electronic circuits. Serving as a testbed for advanced theoretical methods, it reveals a significant discrepancy between the operational time scales of experiments (static to GHz frequencies) and theoretical models (femtoseconds). Utilizing a recently developed time-linear nonequilibrium Green's functions formalism, we model molecular junctions on experimentally accessible timescales. Our study focuses on the quantum pump effect in a Benzenedithiol molecule connected to two copper electrodes and coupled with cavity photons. By calculating both electric and photonic current responses to an ac bias voltage, we observe pronounced electroluminescence and high harmonic generation in this setup. The mechanism of the latter effect is more analogous to that from solids than from isolated molecules, with even harmonics being suppressed or enhanced depending on the symmetry of the driving field.

Type locality. USA, Alaska: Glacier Bay, Berg Inlet (Nutting 1901a).
Current status. Invalid.
Remarks. Fraser (1944a: 201) recognized that the name Halecium robustum Nutting, 1901a was preoccupied by several other binomena, including H. robustum Verrill, 1873. Unaware that Nutting (1901b) had already discovered the homonymy and provided H. harrimani as a new replacement name for his H. robustum, Fraser (1947a: 273) proposed H. crassicaule as a nomen novum for the same taxon. As a junior objective synonym of Nutting’s H. robustum and H. harrimani, Fraser’s H. crassicaule has the same name-bearing types (ICZN Art. 72.7). The name H. harrimani is now taken to be the valid name of the species (Calder 2004; WoRMS).
Two collections of Halecium robustum Nutting, 1901a (= H. harrimani) from Glacier Bay, Alaska, are listed in the online database of the NMNH. Only one of them is listed as syntype material (USNM 71169). The second (USNM 70881), having similar collection data, has not been included as a name-bearing type. It, too, is regarded here as part of the syntype series. No other type material of the species is known to exist. From published records, H. harrimani is presently known only from the type locality (Fraser 1947a).

description: We scrutinize the conserved energy of an accelerating AdS black hole by employing the off-shell quasilocal formalism, which amalgamates the ADT formalism with the covariant phase space approach. In the presence of conical singularities in the accelerating black hole, the energy expression is articulated through the surface term derived from our formalism. The essence of our analysis of the quasilocal energy resides in the surface contributions coming from the conical singularities as well as the conventional radial boundary. Consequently, the resultant conserved quasilocal energy naturally conforms the thermodynamic first law for the black hole without necessitating any augmentation of thermodynamic variables.

Halecium cymosum Fraser, 1935b: 107, pl. 2, figs. 4a–d.
Syntypes. BCPM 976-00471-001: Japan, Sagami Bay, Eboshi-iwa, “on tidal marks”, 19 April 1931, in poor condition; dry.
BCPM 976-00471-002: Japan, Sagami Bay, Eboshi-iwa, “on tidal marks”, 19 April 1931, several colony fragments, up to 3 mm high, in fairly good condition, with gonophores; slide.
Lectotype, by present designation. RBCM 976-00471-003: Japan, Sagami Bay, Eboshi-iwa, “on tidal marks”, 19 April 1931, one colony fragment (middle colony on the slide BCPM 976-00471-002), 3 mm high, in fairly good condition, with gonophores; slide.
Paralectotypes. BCPM 976-00471-001: Japan, Sagami Bay, Eboshi-iwa, “on tidal marks”, 19 April 1931, in poor condition; dry.
BCPM 976-00471-002: Japan, Sagami Bay, Eboshi-iwa, “on tidal marks”, 19 April 1931, several colony fragments, up to 3 mm high, in fairly good condition, with gonophores; slide.
Type locality. Japan: Sagami Bay, Eboshi-iwa (as “ Yeboshi-iwa ”), at low tide (Fraser 1935b).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. Fraser (1935b) received specimens of Halecium cymosum, collected at Eboshiiwa in Sagami Bay by Emperor Hirohito, from Dr. Hirotaro Hattori. No name-bearing type was designated by him. Hydroids in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00471-001; BCPM 976-00471-002), listed above, are syntypes. The first of these, now dry, is in poor condition. However, specimens on the slide, having the same collection data, are in reasonably good condition. As a lectotype of the species, we designate the large colony fragment (RBCM 976- 00471-003), located in the middle of the slide (BCPM 976-00471-002). Gonophores are present on this specimen. All others on the slide, along with the dry collection (BCPM 976-00471-001), are paralectotypes.
Several records of H. cymosum were also documented by Hirohito (1995) in his collection. Data accompanying one sample (No. 1242, Sagami Bay, Eboshiiwa, 19 April 1931) correspond with those at the RBCM. The specimens are now at the NMNS in Japan (NSMT-HyR 1242). We do not know whether Fraser examined the material in the process of describing the species, and excluded it from the syntype series.
While colonies described by Fraser (1935b) reached a maximum height of 3 mm, others examined by Hirohito (1995) attained 10 mm high or more. Hirohito provided illustrations of the trophosome of H. cymosum, and of the male and female gonophores, complementing those of Fraser. The species is taken to be valid (Hirohito 1995; WoRMS).

description: Despite originating in science fiction, warp drives have a concrete description in general relativity, with Alcubierre first proposing a spacetime metric that supported faster-than-light travel. Whilst there are numerous practical barriers to their implementation in real life, including a requirement for negative energy, computationally, one can simulate their evolution in time given an equation of state describing the matter. In this work, we study the signatures arising from a warp drive "containment failure", assuming a stiff equation of state for the fluid. We compute the emitted gravitational-wave signal and track the energy fluxes of the fluid. Apart from its rather speculative application to the search for extraterrestrial life in gravitational-wave detector data, this work is interesting as a study of the dynamical evolution and stability of spacetimes that violate the null energy condition. Our work highlights the importance of exploring strange new spacetimes, to (boldly) simulate what no one has seen before.

description: Mixed integer bilinear programs (MIBLPs) offer tools to resolve robotics motion planning problems with orthogonal rotation matrices or static moment balance, but require long solving times. Recent work utilizing data-driven methods has shown potential to overcome this issue allowing for applications on larger scale problems. To solve mixed-integer bilinear programs online with data-driven methods, several re-formulations exist including mathematical programming with complementary constraints (MPCC), and mixed-integer programming (MIP). In this work, we compare the data-driven performances of various MIBLP reformulations using a book placement problem that has discrete configuration switches and bilinear constraints. The success rate, cost, and solving time are compared along with non-data-driven methods. Our results demonstrate the advantage of using data-driven methods to accelerate the solving speed of MIBLPs, and provide references for users to choose the suitable re-formulation.

description: We argue that the dynamics of particle imbalance in quadratic fermionic models is, for the majority of initial many-body product states in site occupation basis, virtually indistinguishable from the dynamics of survival probabilities of single-particle states. We then generalize our statement to a similar relationship between the non-equal time and space density correlation functions in many-body states and the transition probabilities of single-particle states at nonzero distances. Finally, we study the equal time connected density-density correlation functions in many-body states, which exhibit certain qualitative analogies with the survival and transition probabilities of single-particle states. Our results are numerically tested for two paradigmatic models of single-particle localization: the 3D Anderson model and the 1D Aubry-André model. This work gives affirmative answer to the question whether it is possible to measure features of the single-particle survival and transition probabilities by the dynamics of observables in many-body states.

Halecium diminutivum Fraser, 1940a: 578, pl. 33, figs. 6a, b.
Holotype. USNM 43438: USA, Massachusetts, Nantucket Shoals, on Sertularella sp., one colony, 1.2 mm high, in fair condition, without gonothecae, labelled “ type ”; ethanol.
Schizoholotype. BCPM 976-00474-001: USA, Nantucket, on Sertularella sp., one colony fragment, in fair condition, without gonothecae; slide.
Type locality. USA, Massachusetts: on Nantucket Shoals, epizoic on Sertularella (Fraser 1940a).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. The “ type ” of Halecium diminutivum, as designated by Fraser (1940a), is justifiably listed as a holotype in the online database of the NMNH (USNM 43438). Several other species of hydroids occur with the holotype, including sertulariids, sertularellids, symplectoscyphids, and campanulariids. A slide of the species, from the same sample and on the same substrate (a species of Sertularella), exists in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00474-001). With the species having been based on a single specimen (Fraser 1940a) from Nantucket Shoals, and with no subsequent records of the species having been reported from the type locality (Fraser 1944a, 1947a), we consider the RBCM material to be a fragment of the holotype (i.e., a schizoholotype).
This is a miniscule (to 1.2 mm high), easily overlooked, and poorly known species, reported only from two locations (the type locality of Nantucket Shoals, and also off Chatham Light) on the coast of Massachusetts, USA (Fraser 1944a). The gonosome has yet to be described. Halecium diminutivum is held to be valid in Cairns et al. (2002) and WoRMS.

description: Bisher mussten in Korea drei Staatsexamina und ein zweijähriges Rechtsreferendariat absolviert werden, um den Beruf als Rechtsanwalt, Staatsanwalt oder Richter auszuüben. Das Staatsexamenssystem wird jedoch nach circa 50-jährigem Bestehen aufgrund von immer stärker gewordener Kritik hinsichtlich der Effizienz, Qualität und Praktikabilität durch das law school System nach U.S.-amerikanischem Modell in einer Übergangsphase von 2009 bis 2017 abgelöst. Diese tiefgreifende Reform vollzieht sich aufgrund der bevorstehenden Liberalisierung des koreanischen Rechtsberatungsmarktes, die durch die Verhandlungen über die Freihandelsabkommen zwischen Korea und den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika sowie der Europäischen Union initiiert wurde. Kommt es zur Ratifikation und der mit ihr einhergehenden Öffnung des Rechtsberatungsmarktes wird erwartungsgemäß eine Vielzahl ausländischer Rechtsanwälte und Kanzleien den koreanischen Rechtsberatungsmarkt betreten. Ausländische Rechtsanwälte können sich dann als sogenannte „Auslandsrechtsberater“ (Foreign Legal Consultant) bei der Koreanischen Rechtsanwaltskammer registrieren lassen. Um den Status als Auslandsrechtsberater genießen zu können, müssen jedoch zahlreiche Anforderungen nach dem koreanischen Gesetz über die Auslandsrechtsberater (Foreign Legal Consultant Act) erfüllt werden, welches bereits am 26. September 2009 in Kraft getreten ist.
title: Einschätzung der Lebensqualität bei unterschiedlichen Wohngebäudeformen
Creators: name: Gruber, Daniela
Year: 2011

description: Veränderungen von Bevölkerungsstrukturen (Trend zu Ein- und Zweipersonenhaushalten) und Umwelt (zunehmende Verbauung von freien Flächen) erfordern ein Umdenken von Architekten und Bewohnern im Rahmen der Wohnbauarchitektur. Zukünftig muss vermehrt auf den Bau von kleineren, platzsparenden Wohngebäuden, anstatt auf die Errichtung von großflächigen Einfamilienhäusern, wertgelegt werden. Untersucht wurde in dieser Arbeit, ob das „Wohnideal“ Einfamilienhaus nach wie vor im Vergleich zu kleineren Wohnformen (Reihenhaus, mehrgeschossiges Wohnhaus) bevorzugt wird, oder ob sich die Einstellungen der Menschen, im Hinblick auf ökologische und bevölkerungsstrukturelle Veränderungen weiterentwickelt haben. Dazu wurde 204 Personen ein Fragebogen vorgelegt, welcher die Einschätzung der Lebensqualität der Teilnehmer zu unterschiedlichen Wohngebäudetypen und ihre, mit dem Gebäude verbunden, Gedanken und Eindrücke erhob. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Einfamilienhaus nach wie vor die beliebteste Wohngebäudeform darstellt. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde dem mehrgeschossigen Wohnhaus die signifikant schlechteste Lebensqualität zugeschrieben. Im Rahmen der abgegebenen Assoziationen und zugeschriebenen Eigenschaften wurde dieses Bild zusätzlich bestätigt.
description: Changes in population structure (Trends towards one- and two-person households) and environment (progressive urbanization of green, natural areas) require a rethink by architects and clients with regard to domestic dwellings. In future the focus needs to be on the construction of smaller, space-saving residential units, instead of detached family houses. This current study analyses whether detached family houses are still preferred to smaller housing forms (terraced houses, units in multi-level apartment buildings), or if opinions have changed as a result of changes in environment and population structure. To evaluate the quality of life in different types of housing 204 people were given a survey on their feelings and thoughts on this topic. Results reveal that detached family houses are still the preferred residential form – in contrast to multi-level apartment buildings which were considered as the least favoured. This picture was confirmed by the positive or negative characteristics and associations reflected in the questionnaire.

Type locality. USA, Massachusetts: in abyssal waters seaward of George’s Bank, 40°29’N, 66°04’W, 1769 fm (3235 m) (Fraser 1941b).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. Fraser (1941b) designated material at the NMNH (USNM 22922) as the “ type ” of Halecium dubium. Although currently listed in the online database of that museum as a syntype, the specimen count is correctly indicated as “1”. Moreover, Fraser’s (1941b: 83, 84) original description of the species reveals that it was based on a single male colony, stating “…the specimen from which this species is described…” The single NMNH specimen is therefore the holotype (ICZN Art. 73.1.2).
Fraser (1941b) considered Halecium dubium to be much like H. telescopicum Allman, 1888 from Australia (off Port Jackson). He distinguished it as new because it lacked repeated reduplication of the hydrophores. Also considered unusual by him was the existence of a small semicircular notch at the distal end of the male gonotheca. Halecium dubium is recognized as a valid species in WoRMS.

description: Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) achieves impressive 3D representation learning and novel view synthesis results with high-quality multi-view images as input. However, motion blur in images often occurs in low-light and high-speed motion scenes, which significantly degrades the reconstruction quality of NeRF. Previous deblurring NeRF methods struggle to estimate pose and lighting changes during the exposure time, making them unable to accurately model the motion blur. The bio-inspired event camera measuring intensity changes with high temporal resolution makes up this information deficiency. In this paper, we propose Event-driven Bundle Adjustment for Deblurring Neural Radiance Fields (EBAD-NeRF) to jointly optimize the learnable poses and NeRF parameters by leveraging the hybrid event-RGB data. An intensity-change-metric event loss and a photo-metric blur loss are introduced to strengthen the explicit modeling of camera motion blur. Experiments on both synthetic and real-captured data demonstrate that EBAD-NeRF can obtain accurate camera trajectory during the exposure time and learn a sharper 3D representations compared to prior works.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Förderung der bildhaften Vorstellung im Rahmen eines Lesetrainings für Volksschulkinder mit dem Ziel die Leseleistung zu verbessern. Als Stichprobe wurden 32 Kinder, welche die dritte Klasse zweier Wiener Volksschulen besuchen, herangezogen. Vor dem Training wurden unter anderem der Wortschatz, die Lesefähigkeiten, das Leseverhalten und die Lesefreude erhoben. Anschließend fand eine Parallelisierung der Stichprobe statt. Dabei wurden die Kinder nach bestimmten Kriterien der Trainings- und der Kontrollgruppe zugewiesen. Es erfolgte eine randomisierte Zuteilung, wobei 16 Paare gebildet wurden. Das Lesetraining wurde in Kleingruppen durchgeführt, dauerte fünf Wochen und erfolgte an zwei Schulstunden in der Woche. Um Veränderungen durch das Lesetraining festzustellen, wurde die Stichprobe nach dem Training erneut getestet. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass im Hinblick auf die Leseleistung Verbesserungen in der Trainingsgruppe erzielt wurden. Derartige Fortschritte blieben in der Kontrollgruppe aus. Daraus konnte geschlossen werden, dass die Förderung von Vorstellungsbildern den Trainingskindern verhalf ihre Lesekompetenzen zu verbessern und das Training somit erfolgreich war. Da es bislang nur wenige Veröffentlichungen gibt, die sich mit dem bildhaften Vorstellen und dessen Auswirkungen auf die Leseleistung beschäftigen, besteht in diesem Bereich ein besonderer Forschungsbedarf.
description: This study deals with the furtherance of mental imagery in the course with reading training for children who visit primary school. Therefore the main goal was to increase their reading performance. The chosen sample consisted of 32 children, who visit the 3rd grade of two different primary schools in Vienna. Some data, like vocabulary, reading skills, reading behaviour and reading enjoyment was collected there previously. Because a parallel-group design was chosen, children were assigned to either the training or the control group using assertive criteria. A randomized assignment was carried out in which 16 pairs were generated. The reading training was performed in small groups, lasting about five weeks and took place in two school lessons per week. In order to assess an improvement, the whole sample was tested again after the training. Results showed that the training group achieved improvements in terms of reading performance. In contrast children of the control group did not reach ameliorations like that. In consequence it can be said that the reading training was successful. So far there are only few publications which concentrate on mental imagery and its impact on reading performance. Thus there is a special need for further research.

Halecium flabellatum Fraser, 1935b: 108, pl. 2, figs. 5a–c.
Syntypes. BCPM 976-00476-001: Japan, Shio-no-misaki, Kii, Wakayama Prefecture, 23 May 1933, 33 m, female, labelled " type "; dry.
BCPM 976-00476-002: Japan, Shio-no-misaki, Kii, Wakayama Prefecture, 23 May 1933, 33 m, male, labelled " type "; dry.
Lectotype, by present designation. BCPM 976-00476-001: Japan, Shio-no-misaki, Kii, Wakayama Prefecture, 33 m, 23 May 1933, one desiccated colony, with female gonophores, labelled " type "; dry.
Paralectotype. BCPM 976-00476-002: Japan, Shio-no-misaki, Kii, Wakayama Prefecture, 23 May 1933, 33 m, one desiccated colony, with male gonophores, labelled " type "; dry.
Type locality. Japan: Shio-no-misaki, Kii, Wakayama Prefecture, 30–35 m (Fraser 1935b).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. The specimens upon which Halecium flabellatum is based were sent to Fraser (1935b) for identification from the collection of Emperor Hirohito of Japan. No name-bearing type of the species was designated by him. Four samples of H. flabellatum are recorded in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM. Two of them, listed above and both labelled “ type ” in what appears to be Fraser’s handwriting, are syntypes. Both are now dry. The specimens, with a single colony in each sample, were examined without being removed from their vials by us during this study. Although desiccated, major characters of the species as illustrated by Fraser (1935b) and Hirohito (1995) are still recognizable. In being the only syntypes, and in the expectation that at least partial rehydration might be possible, we have selected the female colony (BCPM 976-00476-001) as the lectotype. The male colony (BCPM 976-00476-002) is a paralectotype. The other two (976-00477-001: Sagami Bay, female; BCPM 976-00477-002: Sagami Bay, male) were not from the type locality and are not part of the syntype series. Specimens of H. flabellatum in NSMT collections (NSMT-HyR 1389: Japan, off Jôgashima, 108 m, 19 August 1936), recorded by Hirohito (1995), are also not syntypes.
Halecium flabellatum was regarded as valid by Hirohito (1995), a conclusion upheld in WoRMS.

description: In this issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, Lortet-Tieulent and colleagues1 demonstrate the grim consequences of state-level disparities in smoking prevalence. They identify substantial disparities in the smoking-attributable cancer mortality among US states. As the authors suggest, it is likely that only a small amount of the variation in smoking-attributable cancer mortality is due to differences in population demographic characteristics among states. Rather, most of the disparity in state smoking-attributable cancer mortality is driven by the inequitable distribution of strong tobacco control policies across states and the uneven level of funding for state tobacco control programs.
title: Die Rolle von Good Governance in den Beziehungen zwischen der EU und den Mittelmeeranrainerstaaten
Creators: name: Akremi, Bettina
Year: 2012

description: Seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre ist Good Governance Bestandteil der EU-Entwicklungspolitik. Seitdem wurden zahlreiche außen- bzw. entwicklungspolitische Strategien der EU unter diesem Schlagwort entwickelt. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die Rolle von Good Governance in den Beziehungen zwischen der EU und den Mittelmeerdrittstaaten. Durch die Analyse von EU-Dokumenten sollen die von der Entwicklungspolitik der EU verfolgten Ziele sichtbar gemacht werden. Dies ist insofern interessant als es sich nicht nur um sehr asymmetrische Beziehungen handelt, sondern die Mittelmeeranrainerstaaten allesamt (semi-)autoritäre Regime sind, die nichts was nach Demokratisierung aussieht, akzeptieren. Die theoretische Darstellung befasst sich mit der Begriffsentwicklung durch Weltbank und OECD sowie den Begriffsvariationen, wie sie durch die EU verwendet werden. Im empirischen Teil werden die einzelnen Verträge sowie die Maßnahmen, die im Rahmen der EU-Mittelmeerpolitik konzipiert und teilweise bereits umgesetzt wurden, dargestellt und analysiert. Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt auf den Good Governance-Projekten in den Aktionsplänen, den Länderstrategiepapieren 2007-2013 bzw. den Nationalen Richtprogrammen 2007-2010 und 2011-2013 für Algerien, Ägypten, Jordanien, Marokko und Tunesien implementiert wurde. Nicht behandelt wird die tatsächliche Durchführung der Projekte oder deren Evaluierung, da dies den Umfang meiner Arbeit sprengen würde.

description: In the USA, increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory cytokines have been observed in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive, HIV-seropositive individuals with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). We characterized the relationship between HAND and CSF biomarker expression in ART-naive, HIV-seropositive individuals in Rakai, Uganda. We analyzed CSF of 78 HIV-seropositive, ART-naive Ugandan adults for 17 cytokines and 20 neurodegenerative biomarkers via Luminex multiplex assay. These adults underwent neurocognitive assessment to determine their degree of HAND. We compared biomarker concentrations between high and low CD4 groups and across HAND classifications, adjusting for multiple comparisons. Individuals with CD4 <200 cells/μL (N = 38) had elevated levels of CSF Interleukin (IL)-2, IL-12, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), TNF-α, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-7, and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) and lower levels of amyloid β42. Individuals with CD4 351–500 cells/μL (N = 40) had significantly higher CSF levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, amyloid β42, and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE). Increasing levels of S100B, platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and sRAGE were associated with decreased odds of mild neurocognitive disorder (n = 22) or HIV-associated dementia (n = 15) compared with normal function (n = 30) or asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (n = 11). Increased levels of interferon (IFN)-γ were associated with increased odds of mild neurocognitive impairment or HIV-associated dementia relative to normal or asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment. Proinflammatory CSF cytokines, chemokines, and neurodegenerative biomarkers were present in increasing concentrations with advanced immunosuppression and may play a role in the development of HAND. The presence of select CNS biomarkers may also play a protective role in the development of HAND.
title: Ernährungsphysiologische Beurteilung von Diabetikerlebensmitteln

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit dem Vergleich von speziellen Diabetikerlebensmitteln und herkömmlichen vergleichbaren Produkten. Ziel war es herauszufinden, ob Diabetikerlebensmittel in der Ernährung des Diabetikers einen Vorteil gegenüber herkömmlichen Produkten bringen. Dazu wurden 28 Produkte die im Einzelhandel in Wien im Zeitraum Februar-März 2011 erhältlich waren, mit entsprechenden Produkten hinsichtlich ihres Gehalts an Hauptnährstoffen und ihres Preises verglichen. Nach eingehender Betrachtung der Zusammensetzung laut Nährwerttabelle und Zutatenliste und zahlreicher Studien können diese Produkte nicht für empfehlenswert befunden werden. Hauptkritikpunkte sind die hohen Fett- und Eiweißgehalte und der Preis.
description: The aim of the present diploma thesis is the comparison of special products for diabetics with conventional products. This thesis will examine, if the consump-tion of these products has any significant advantages for diabetic patients. Therefore 28 different products, which were available in supermarkets in Vienna during the time of february and march 2011, were compared with conventional products on the basis of their nutrient content and price. A detailed analysis of the products’ composition and the interpretation of nu-merous relevant studies shows that the examined products cannot be consi-dered recommendable: Main points of criticism are the high fat and protein content and the price.

description: Much of the new dust in the local ISM is produced in the last phases of stellar evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB). Despite its importance, our knowledge of how dust properties depend on metallicity is limited. Studies of planetary nebulae in irregular galaxies in the Local Group (mostly focused on the LMC and SMC) have revealed a diverse spectral zoo and shown that low metallicity favours carbon-rich dust production by AGB stars. However, at ~1/3 and ~1/5 times the solar metallicity respectively, they provide two snapshots of dust composition at low metallicity, emphasising the need to investigate a region with a range of metallicity values. With its abundance gradient, the Milky Way fits this criterion and provides a good opportunity to observe the dust composition over a large metallicity range. In particular the Galactic anti-center, which is largely unexplored beyond galactocentric distances of 10 kpc, allows us to study the AGB dust
                    a priori
                    assumed to be metal-poor as well as exploring the extent of the Galactic abundance gradient. We analyse a
                    Spitzer
                    spectroscopic sample of 23 planetary nebulae towards the anti-center in order to understand how the metallicity gradient extends beyond 10 kpc from the Galactic center and to observe the dust composition in this region of our Galaxy. We find that the abundance gradients of Ne, S and Ar continue to distances of around 20 kpc (albeit with a large scatter) and the dust emission shows a carbon-rich chemistry similar to that in the Magellanic Clouds.

Halecium fruticosum Fraser, 1943a: 77, pl. 16, figs. 4a, b.
Holotype. MCZ-IZ 9012: USA, North Carolina, Cape Fear, Cape Fear River, NNE 14 miles (23 km) off Bald Head Light, 9 fm (16 m), 1868-1869, one badly fragmented colony, in rather poor condition, without gonophores, coll. L.F. de Pourtalès, labelled “ type ”; formalin.
Type locality. USA, North Carolina: Bald Head Lighthouse, NNE 14 miles (23 km) off Cape Fear (Fraser 1943a).
Current status. Valid, but see Remarks below.
Remarks. Fraser (1943a) described and illustrated Halecium fruticosum, but provided no information as to its name-bearing type. The species was described in a collection sent to him for identification from the MCZ. A specimen at that museum (MCZ-IZ 9012), labelled “ type ”, is listed as a holotype in the MCZ online database. No other type material of the species was discovered during this study. In describing the species, Fraser reported that “…no complete colony [was] obtained…”, and no gonosomes were observed. On examination, the type of the species indeed comprises several fragments. However, all are considered parts of a single colony that we take to be the holotype by monotypy.
Although the holotype specimen is in rather poor condition, its trophosomal characters are still recognizable. The identity and affinities of the species will likely be apparent after more collecting is undertaken in the vicinity of the type locality, and after fertile specimens are discovered. Somewhat similar to Halecium fruticosum is a hydroid from the Beaufort area of North Carolina, identified with question by Fraser (1912c) as H. bermudense Congdon, 1907. His specimen was sterile, but an account was given of both female and male gonosomes from the original description of Congdon (1907). Calder & Hester (1978) also reported H. bermudense from inshore waters of South Carolina, based largely on the account of Fraser (1912c). The occurrence of H. bermudense on the coast of the Carolinas needs to be confirmed.
Included as a valid species in Cairns et al. (2002), Halecium fruticosum is currently listed as a species inquirenda in WoRMS. To date, the only published record of the species is the original account by Fraser (1943a).

description: In dieser theoretischen Arbeit wird auf das Leben von Ludwig von Mises eingegangen und sein Schaffen im Zeitablauf dargestellt. In weiterer Folge werden im ersten Schritt die klassischen Theorien der Nationalökonomie, des Historismus und der österreichischen Schule betrachten. Von dieser Ausgehend stellen wird kurz das Forschungsprogramm Ludwig von Mises dar. Die Praxeologie, die Lehre vom menschlichen Handeln schlechthin, hat eine starke philosophische Fundierung. Daher müssen die philosophischen Grundlagen, welche Voraussetzung für das Verstehen der Praxeologie sind, reflektiert werden. Nachdem die Lehren Kants, Webers und der Neukantischen Schule ausreichend dargestellt wurden, wird im zweiten Schritt die Praxeologie als eigene Wissenschaft dargestellt. Die Essenz der Praxeologie sind die Kategorien, mit denen wirtschaftliches – aber auch jedes andere Handeln – erkannt und verstanden werden kann. Im Abschlusskapitel wollen wir der Bedeutung Ludwig von Mises in der Gegenwart nachgehen.

description: LLM-powered tools like ChatGPT Data Analysis, have the potential to help users tackle the challenging task of data analysis programming, which requires expertise in data processing, programming, and statistics. However, our formative study (n=15) uncovered serious challenges in verifying AI-generated results and steering the AI (i.e., guiding the AI system to produce the desired output). We developed two contrasting approaches to address these challenges. The first (Stepwise) decomposes the problem into step-by-step subgoals with pairs of editable assumptions and code until task completion, while the second (Phasewise) decomposes the entire problem into three editable, logical phases: structured input/output assumptions, execution plan, and code. A controlled, within-subjects experiment (n=18) compared these systems against a conversational baseline. Users reported significantly greater control with the Stepwise and Phasewise systems, and found intervention, correction, and verification easier, compared to the baseline. The results suggest design guidelines and trade-offs for AI-assisted data analysis tools.
