description: We show that mixing for local, reversible dynamics of mean field spin glasses is exponentially slow in the low temperature regime. We introduce a notion of free energy barriers for the overlap, and prove that their existence imply that the spectral gap is exponentially small, and thus that mixing is exponentially slow. We then exhibit sufficient conditions on the equilibrium Gibbs measure which guarantee the existence of these barriers, using the notion of replicon eigenvalue and 2D Guerra Talagrand bounds. We show how these sufficient conditions cover large classes of Ising spin models for reversible nearest-neighbor dynamics and spherical models for Langevin dynamics. Finally, in the case of Ising spins, Panchenko's recent rigorous calculation [79] of the free energy for a system of "two real replica" enables us to prove a quenched LDP for the overlap distribution, which gives us a wider criterion for slow mixing directly related to the Franz-Parisi-Virasoro approach [43,60]. This condition holds in a wider range of temperatures.

description: We frame Question Answering (QA) as a Reinforcement Learning task, an approach that we call Active Question Answering. We propose an agent that sits between the user and a black box QA system and learns to reformulate questions to elicit the best possible answers. The agent probes the system with, potentially many, natural language reformulations of an initial question and aggregates the returned evidence to yield the best answer. The reformulation system is trained end-to-end to maximize answer quality using policy gradient. We evaluate on SearchQA, a dataset of complex questions extracted from Jeopardy!. The agent outperforms a state-of-the-art base model, playing the role of the environment, and other benchmarks. We also analyze the language that the agent has learned while interacting with the question answering system. We find that successful question reformulations look quite different from natural language paraphrases. The agent is able to discover non-trivial reformulation strategies that resemble classic information retrieval techniques such as term re-weighting (tf-idf) and stemming.

description: Heating, cooling, and dehumidification to assess the thermal comfort in buildings contributed around one-third of the worldwide energy demand, which are crucial in the energy decarbonization prospect. Electrification with renewables and building archetype arrangements in building energy utilization contribute to reducing carbon emissions. The paper aims to evaluate the energy performance of differential residential heat pumps and air conditioners in the different areas of study to optimize the energy consumption in the UK and Indonesia by considering the archetype and separate local climate in regions within the countries by using the optimum thermal comfort adjustments. The research involves TRNSYS17 software analyses to simulate the building retrofit configurations and energy behavior in the residential retrofit to assess thermal comfort. The evaluation of energy consumption index performance in the different archetypes and heat source are investigated to overlook how their effect on the energy efficiency and operational practices.

description: We calculate the Casimir interaction of two freestanding graphene samples under uniaxial strain. Our approach fully takes retardation and dispersion into account and is based on quantum field theoretical expressions for conductivities in terms of the polarization operator. The force shows a rather weak dependence on the realistic values of strain, changing just by a few percent in its maximum as compared to the non-strained case.

description: We develop a general approach to the description of dispersive shock waves (DSWs) for a class of nonlinear wave equations with a nonlocal Benjamin-Ono type dispersion term involving the Hilbert transform. Integrability of the governing equation is not a pre-requisite for the application of this method which represents a modification of the DSW fitting method previously developed for dispersive-hydrodynamic systems of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) type (i.e. reducible to the KdV equation in the weakly nonlinear, long wave, unidirectional approximation). The developed method is applied to the Calogero-Sutherland dispersive hydrodynamics for which the classification of all solution types arising from the Riemann step problem is constructed and the key physical parameters (DSW edge speeds, lead soliton amplitude, intermediate shelf level) of all but one solution type are obtained in terms of the initial step data. The analytical results are shown to be in excellent agreement with results of direct numerical simulations.

description: In the late twentieth century, as waves of change swept over cities and towns like Baltimore, people were left reeling. In this context, the American white power skinheads found their footing. Born in the late 1960s and early 1970s in neighborhoods with engrained class identities, these skinheads sought to recreate an ‘authentic’ working class, measured against traditionally masculine blue-collar whiteness They viewed whiteness as inseparable from working-class identity, a belief which was rooted in the history of white working people in the city and the nation. Skinheads also pursued an ideological agenda whose contours could be traced back to tropes of blue-collar political culture, namely mistrust of the ‘elite.’ But white power skinheads did not simply want a return to tradition; they wanted to create a whole new world, inspired by the past. Such a desire is evident in their cultural aesthetic and their militant politics. Skinheads made themselves look, sound, and act like the “heroes of the white working class,” drawing from historical precedent and blue collar political and cultural ‘heritage.’ The racialized language and aesthetic of class identity offered working-class young men a sense of meaning and purpose in an uncertain time and led them down the path of radicalization.

description: The phenomenon of fine structure of the Isoscalar Giant Quadrupole Resonance (ISGQR) has been studied with high energy-resolution proton inelastic scattering at iThemba LABS in the chain of stable even-mass Nd isotopes covering the transition from spherical to deformed ground states. A wavelet analysis of the background-subtracted spectra in the deformed 146,148,150Nd isotopes reveals characteristic scales in correspondence with scales obtained from a Skyrme RPA calculation using the SVmas10 parameterization. A semblance analysis shows that these scales arise from the energy shift between the main fragments of the K = 0, 1 and K = 2 components.

description: We consider here three dark matter models with the gauge symmetry of the standard model plus an additional local $U(1)_D$ factor. One model is truly secluded and the other two models begin flipped, but end up secluded. All of these models include one dark fermion and one vector boson that gains mass via the Stueckelberg mechanism. We show that the would be flipped models provide an example dark matter composed of "almost least interacting particles" (ALIPs). Such particles are therefore compatible with the constraints obtained from both laboratory measurements and astrophysical observations.

Review of Jet Measurements in Heavy Ion Collisions

description: A hot, dense medium called a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Hard parton scatterings generate high momentum partons that traverse the medium, which then fragment into sprays of particle called jets. Experimental measurements from high momentum hadrons, two particle correlations, and full jet reconstruction at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) continue to improve our understanding of energy loss in the QGP. Run 2 at the LHC recently began and there is a jet detector at RHIC under development. Now is the perfect time to reflect on what the experimental measurements have taught us so far, the limitations of the techniques used for studying jets, how the techniques can be improved, and how to move forward with the wealth of experimental data such that a complete description of energy loss in the QGP can be achieved. Measurements of jets to date clearly indicate that hard partons lose energy. Detailed comparisons of the nuclear modification factor between data and model calculations led to quantitative constraints on the opacity of the medium to hard probes. While there is substantial evidence for softening and broadening jets through medium interactions, the difficulties comparing measurements to theoretical calculations limit further quantitative constraints on energy loss mechanisms. We call for an agreement between theorists and experimentalists on the appropriate treatment of the background, Monte Carlo generators that enable experimental algorithms to be applied to theoretical calculations, and a clear understanding of which observables are most sensitive to the properties of the medium, even in the presence of background. This will enable us to determine the best strategy for the field to improve quantitative constraints on properties of the medium in the face of these challenges.

description: We investigate opportunities offered by telematics and analytics to enable better informed, and more integrated, collaborative management decisions on construction sites. We focus on efficient refuelling of assets across construction sites. More specifically, we develop decision support models that, by leveraging data supplied by different assets, schedule refuelling operations by minimising the distance travelled by the bowser truck as well as fuel shortages. Motivated by a practical case study elicited in the context of a project we recently conducted at Crossrail, we introduce the Dynamic Bowser Routing Problem. In this problem the decision maker aims to dynamically refuel, by dispatching a bowser truck, a set of assets which consume fuel and whose location changes over time; the goal is to ensure that assets do not run out of fuel and that the bowser covers the minimum possible distance. We investigate deterministic and stochastic variants of this problem and introduce effective and scalable mathematical programming models to tackle these cases. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approaches in the context of an extensive computational study designed around data collected on site as well as supplied by our project partners. Keywords: Routing; Dynamic Bowser Routing Problem; Stochastic Bowser Routing Problem; Mixed-Integer Linear Programming; Construction.

The number of collisions which the proton experiences selects the appropriate Fock state of the proton which generates a multiple of pp-like rapidity distributions. We take as input the pp maximum entropy distributions shifting the respective cm-rapidities and reducing the available energies. A comparison with existing data at 5 TeV is made and results for 8 TeV are presented. We also explore the high multiplicity data in this model.

The effect of asymptotically safe quantum gravity on the cosmological power spectrum is also studied.

This method uses the electromagnetic fields, collected before and after injecting electromagnetic nanoparticles, to reconstruct the electrical permittivity. The particularity here is that these nanoparticles have high contrast electric or magnetic properties compared to the background media. First, we introduce the concept of electric (or magnetic) nanoparticles to describe the particles, of relative diameter $δ$ (relative to the size of the imaging domain), having relative electric permittivity (or relative magnetic permeability) of order $δ^{-α}$ with a certain $α>0$, as $0

As applications, we prove a conjecture of Davison and Meinhardt on motivic nearby fibers of weighted homogeneous polynomials, and give a very short and conceptual new proof of the integral identity conjecture of Kontsevich and Soibelman, first proved by Lê Quy Thuong. Both of these conjectures emerged in the context of motivic Donaldson-Thomas theory.

Single-particle dispersion in stably stratified turbulence

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We present models for single-particle dispersion in vertical and horizontal directions of stably stratified flows. The model in the vertical direction is based on the observed Lagrangian spectrum of the vertical velocity, while the model in the horizontal direction is a combination of a continuous-time eddy-constrained random walk process with a contribution to transport from horizontal winds. Transport at times larger than the Lagrangian turnover time is not universal and dependent on these winds. The models yield results in good agreement with direct numerical simulations of stratified turbulence, for which single-particle dispersion differs from the well studied case of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence.

description: Properties of galaxies like their absolute magnitude and their stellar mass content are correlated. These correlations are tighter for close pairs of galaxies, which is called galactic conformity. In hierarchical structure formation scenarios, galaxies form within dark matter halos. To explain the amplitude and the spatial range of galactic conformity two--halo terms or assembly bias become important. With the scale dependent correlation coefficients the amplitude and the spatial range of conformity are determined from galaxy and halo samples. The scale dependent correlation coefficients are introduced as a new descriptive statistic to quantify the correlations between properties of galaxies or halos, depending on the distances to other galaxies or halos. These scale dependent correlation coefficients can be applied to the galaxy distribution directly. Neither a splitting of the sample into subsamples, nor an a priori clustering is needed. This new descriptive statistic is applied to galaxy catalogues derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III and to halo catalogues from the MultiDark simulations. In the galaxy sample the correlations between absolute Magnitude, velocity dispersion, ellipticity, and stellar mass content are investigated. The correlations of mass, spin, and ellipticity are explored in the halo samples. Both for galaxies and halos a scale dependent conformity is confirmed. Moreover the scale dependent correlation coefficients reveal a signal of conformity out to 40Mpc and beyond. The halo and galaxy samples show a differing amplitude and range of conformity.

description: A new mechanism is proposed for dissipatively preparing maximal Bell entangled state of two atoms in an optical cavity. This scheme integrates the spontaneous emission, the light shift of atoms in the presence of dispersive microwave field, and the quantum Zeno dynamics induced by continuous coupling, to obtain a unique steady state irrespective of initial state. Even for a large cavity decay, a high-fidelity entangled state is achievable at a short convergence time, since the occupation of cavity mode is inhibited by the Zeno requirement. Therefore, a low single-atom cooperativity $C=g^2/(κγ)$ is good enough for realizing a high fidelity of entanglement in a wide range of decoherence parameters. As a straightforward extension, the feasibility for preparation of two-atom Knill-Laflamme-Milburn state with the same mechanism is also discussed.

description: The kinetic freeze-out temperatures, $T_0$, in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies are extracted by four methods: i) the Blast-Wave model with Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics (the BGBW model), ii) the Blast-Wave model with Tsallis statistics (the TBW model), iii) the Tsallis distribution with flow effect (the improved Tsallis distribution), and iv) the intercept in $T=T_0+am_0$ (the alternative method), where $m_0$ denotes the rest mass and $T$ denotes the effective temperature which can be obtained by different distribution functions. It is found that the relative sizes of $T_0$ in central and peripheral collisions obtained by the conventional BGBW model which uses a zero or nearly zero transverse flow velocity, $β_T$, are contradictory in tendency with other methods. With a re-examination for $β_T$ in the first method in which $β_T$ is taken to be $\sim(0.40\pm0.07)c$, a recalculation presents a consistent result with others. Finally, our results show that the kinetic freeze-out temperature in central collisions is larger than that in peripheral collisions.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: One of the main challenges of quantum information is the reliable verification of quantum entanglement. The conventional detection schemes require repeated measurement on a large number of identically prepared systems. This is hard to achieve in practice when dealing with large-scale entangled quantum systems. In this letter we develop a novel method by formulating verification as a decision procedure, i.e. entanglement is seen as the ability of quantum system to answer certain "yes-no questions". We show that for a variety of large quantum states even a single copy suffices to detect entanglement with a high probability by using local measurements. For example, a single copy of a $16$-qubit $k$-producible state or one copy of $24$-qubit linear cluster state suffices to verify entanglement with more than $95\%$ confidence. Our method is applicable to many important classes of states, such as cluster states or ground states of local Hamiltonians in general.

Transnationale Allianzen und Ethnisierung für die Anerkennung Jugoslawiens: Nationale Konstruktionen eines Autorenkollektivs um den Publizisten Milan Ćurčin (1919)
Creators: name: Seidel, Paula
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Migrationsforschung
Year: 2023

description: Der Beitrag untersucht die Konstruktion einer jugoslawischen Nation in Großbritannien vor dem Hintergrund der Pariser Friedenskonferenzen am Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs. Er fragt nach den Ethnisierungsstrategien einer Gruppe von Autor*innen, die auf die britische Anerkennung eines jugoslawischen Staats sowie langfristige britisch-jugoslawische Beziehungen zielten. In einem Künstlerportrait über den kroatischen Bildhauer Ivan Meštrović, das als Quelle in den Fokus genommen wird, nutzten die britischen und südslawischen Verfasser*innen der Publikation Kunst als Projektionsfläche für ihre Nationsidee. Es wird argumentiert, dass sie auf nationalistische Narrative zurückgriffen, mit denen sich britische Leserinnen und Leser identifizieren konnten, und die jugoslawische Nation gleichartig zu britischen Nationsvorstellungen konstruierten. Die Beiträge, die der serbische Publizist Milan Ćurčin als Herausgeber versammelte, verorteten sich in einem Diskurs um die europäische Nachkriegsordnung. Ihre Ethnisierungsstrategien zeigen die Wandelbarkeit von Nationsvorstellungen sowie das zweckbestimmte Vorgehen nationalistischer Akteure, die ihre Konstruktionen den bestehenden politischen Machtverhältnissen sowie ihrem Publikum anpassten.

description: In previously identified forms of remote synchronization between two nodes, the intermediate portion of the network connecting the two nodes is not synchronized with them but generally exhibits some coherent dynamics. Here we report on a network phenomenon we call incoherence-mediated remote synchronization (IMRS), in which two non-contiguous parts of the network are identically synchronized while the dynamics of the intermediate part is statistically and information-theoretically incoherent. We identify mirror symmetry in the network structure as a mechanism allowing for such behavior, and show that IMRS is robust against dynamical noise as well as against parameter changes. IMRS may underlie neuronal information processing and potentially lead to network solutions for encryption key distribution and secure communication.

An explicit model is presented by augmenting the Standard Model with an $SU(2)_L$ doublet scalar, a singlet scalar and right handed neutrinos where all of them are assumed to be charged under a global $U(1)_X$ symmetry. A light pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Boson, associated with the spontaneously broken $U(1)_{X}$ symmetry, acts as a mediator of an attractive force leading to a Dirac neutrino condensate, with large correlation length, and a non-zero gap in the right range providing a cosmologically feasible dark energy scenario. The neutrino mass is generated through the usual Dirac seesaw mechanism. Parameter space, reproducing viable dark energy scenario while having neutrino mass in the right ballpark, is presented.

Einleitung: Ethnisierung und (Im)Mobilitäten in historischer Perspektive
Creators: name: Lamy, Lucie
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Migrationsforschung
Year: 2023

description: In den letzten Jahren wurden in der englisch- und deutschsprachigen Migrationsforschung die methodologische Ethnizität und die Migrantisierung von Mobilitäten kritisiert. Neue methodologische und theoretische Ansätze wurden entwickelt, um die Erforschung von Mobilitäten zu dekolonisieren und inklusiver zu machen. Diesem Themenheft liegt die Ansicht zugrunde, dass dieser primär auf einer Gegenwartsdiagnose basierende Perspektivenwechsel auch für die Untersuchung vergangener (Im)Mobilitäten erkenntnisfördernd ist. Im Zentrum steht der Begriff der Ethnisierung, der es ermöglicht, sowohl Institutionen und Staaten in den Blick zu nehmen, die ethnisierende Kategorien zum Zwecke der Steuerung und/oder Unterbindung von (Im)Mobilitäten nutzen, als auch Individuen zu betrachten, die selbstbestimmt auf solche Kategorien zurückgreifen, und die Relation zwischen beiden Phänomenen zu problematisieren. Die einzelnen Beiträge dieses Themenheftes untersuchen demnach empirisch, welche Interdependenzen zwischen Ethnisierungsprozessen und Verhinderung, Erzwingung oder Selbstbestimmung von Mobilität je nach Kontext wirken.

description: We describe the implementation of orbital optimization for the models in the perfect pairing hierarchy [Lehtola et al, J. Chem. Phys. 145, 134110 (2016)]. Orbital optimization, which is generally necessary to obtain reliable results, is pursued at perfect pairing (PP) and perfect quadruples (PQ) levels of theory for applications on linear polyacenes, which are believed to exhibit strong correlation in the π space. While local minima and σ-π symmetry breaking solutions were found for PP orbitals, no such problems were encountered for PQ orbitals. The PQ orbitals are used for single-point calculations at PP, PQ and perfect hextuples (PH) levels of theory, both only in the π subspace, as well as in the full σπ valence space. It is numerically demonstrated that the inclusion of single excitations is necessary also when optimized orbitals are used. PH is found to yield good agreement with previously published density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) data in the π space, capturing over 95% of the correlation energy. Full-valence calculations made possible by our novel, efficient code reveal that strong correlations are weaker when larger bases or active spaces are employed than in previous calculations. The largest full-valence PH calculations presented correspond to a (192e,192o) problem.

description: WISE J080822.18$-$644357.3 was recently identified as a new M dwarf debris disc system and a candidate member of the 45 Myr-old Carina association. Given that the strength of its infrared excess ($L_{\rm IR}/L_{\rm \star}\simeq 0.1$) appears to be more consistent with a young protoplanetary disc, we present the first optical spectra of the star and reassess its evolutionary and membership status. We find WISE J0808-6443 to be a Li-rich M5 star with strong H$α$ emission ($-125 < \textrm{EW} < -65$ Å over 4 epochs) whose strength and broad width are consistent with accretion at a low level ($\sim$10$^{-10}$ $M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$) from its disc. The spectral energy distribution of the star is consistent with a primordial disc and is well-fit using a two-temperature blackbody model with $T_{\rm inner}\simeq$ 1100 K and $T_{\rm outer}\simeq$ 240 K. AllWISE multi-epoch photometry shows the system exhibits significant variability in the 3.4 $μ$m and 4.6 $μ$m bands. We calculate an improved proper motion based on archival astrometry, and combined with a new radial velocity, the kinematics of the star are consistent with membership in Carina at a kinematic distance of $90\pm9$ pc. The spectroscopic and photometric data are consistent with WISE J0808-6443 being a $\sim$0.1 $M_{\odot}$ Classical T-Tauri star and one of the oldest known accreting M-type stars. These results provide further evidence that the upper limit on the lifetimes of gas-rich discs - and hence the timescales to form and evolve protoplanetary systems - around the lowest mass stars may be longer than previously recognised, or some mechanism may be responsible for regenerating short-lived discs at later stages of pre-main sequence evolution.

description: This Poster was presented at the 2025 All Hands Meeting of the NFDI4BIOIMAGE Consortium. It presents the current state of data integration activities at the MPI for Evolutionary Biology. Various data and metadata resources such as the internal image data repository OMERO and the Electronic Lab Notebook System OpenBIS are converted into a RDF Knowledge Graph utilizing a R2RML mapping scheme based on the Ontop-VKG framework. The materialized Knowledge Graph is then served via the QLever SPARQL endpoint and user interface. A graphical query editor (SPARNatural) assists users with no SPARQL knowledge in constructing their queries by selecting triple elements from dropdown menus and other widgets. We also present a benchmark comparison of query response times on 10 selected SPARQL queries run against three different endpoint/triplestore implementations.

description: Light pollution is a worldwide phenomenon whose consequences for the natural environment and the human health are being intensively studied nowadays. Most published studies address issues related to light pollution inland. Coastal waters, however, are spaces of high environmental interest, due to their biodiversity richness and their economical significance. The elevated population density in coastal regions is accompanied by correspondingly large emissions of artificial light at night, whose role as an environmental stressor is increasingly being recognized. (...) At the same time, the marine surface environment provides a stage free from obstacles for measuring the dependence of the skyglow on the distance to the light polluting sources, and validating (or rejecting) atmospheric light propagation models. In this work we present a proof-of-concept of a gimbal measurement system that can be used for zenithal skyglow measurements on board both small boats and large vessels under actual navigation conditions. We report the results obtained in the summer of 2016 along two measurement routes in the Mediterranean waters offshore Barcelona, travelling 9 and 31.7 km away from the coast. The atmospheric conditions in both routes were different from the ones assumed for the calculation of recently published models of the anthropogenic sky brightness. They were closer in the first route, whose results approach better the theoretical predictions. The results obtained in the second route, conducted under a clearer atmosphere, showed systematic differences that can be traced back to two expected phenomena, which are a consequence of the smaller aerosol content: the reduction of the anthropogenic sky glow at short distances from the sources, and the slower decay rate of brightness with distance, which gives rise to a relative excess of brightness at large distances from the coastline.

Keeping »Undesirables« at Bay: Discourse and Practices of U.S. Consul Henry W. Diederich in Bremen (1900–1906)
Creators: name: Marciano, Sarah

description: To explore the role played by U.S. consuls in the infrastructure aimed at controlling and restricting migration at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century, this paper looks at ›despatches‹ [sic] from U.S. consul Henry W. Diederich in Bremen from 1900 to 1906. The focal point of this paper is the discourse in his letters to the Department of State on the socalled ›new immigration‹ from southern and especially eastern Europe. Important aspects of this paper include the essentialization and othering of transmigrants, particularly Jews from the Russian empire, as well as exclusionary practices. Although adhering to the letter of the law and relying on bureaucracy and ›scientific‹ categories to exclude ›undesirables‹, he continually sought to extend the role of consuls in controlling migration and asserting state power over private actors, such as the steamship company North German Lloyd operating in Bremen. Another aspect examined in this paper is the discourse on ›old‹ and ›new immigration‹ in a comparative perspective in his despatches as well as in despatches from other consuls. »Unerwünschte« Auswanderer*innen fernhalten. Diskurse und Praktiken des US-Konsuls Henry W. Diederich in Bremen (1900–1906) Der folgende Beitrag analysiert die Rolle der US-Konsuln in der zur Migrationsverwaltung und -beschränkung dienenden Infrastruktur am Ende des 19. und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts anhand von ›Despatches‹ des USKonsuls Henry W. Diederich in Bremen aus den Jahren 1900 bis 1906. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags steht der Diskurs über die ›neue Einwanderung‹ aus Süd- und Osteuropa in seinen Briefen an das US-Außenministerium. Wichtige Aspekte dieses Beitrags sind die Essentialisierung und Fremdbestimmung von Transmigrant*innen, insbesondere russischen Juden, sowie Ausgrenzungspraktiken. Obwohl er sich an den Wortlaut des Gesetzes hielt und sich auf die Bürokratie und ›wissenschaftliche‹ Kategorien stützte, um ›unerwünschte‹ Einwanderer*innen auszugrenzen, war er ständig bestrebt, die den Konsuln zugewiesene Rolle bei der Migrationskontrolle zu erweitern und die staatliche Macht gegenüber nichtstaatlichen Akteuren wie der in Bremen tätigen Dampfschifffahrtgesellschaft Norddeutscher Lloyd durchzusetzen. Ein weiterer Aspekt, der in diesem Aufsatz untersucht wird, ist der Diskurs über die ›alte‹ und die ›neue Einwanderung‹ in vergleichender Perspektive in seinen ›Despatches‹ sowie in den Briefen anderer Konsuln.
