“A little article on Queen Elizabeth’s nose for Eve”. Virginia Woolf’s “The Waxworks at the Abbey” between Tradition and Modernity

description: Although scholars have often illustrated the multiple connections between high and low, elite and popular, tradition and modernity in modernist print culture, the enactment of such dichotomies in a women’s commercial magazine like Eve: The Lady’s Pictorial (1921-29) has not been adequately investigated. This paper analyses Woolf’s essay “The Waxworks at the Abbey”, published in Eve on 23 May 1928, in relation to other types of verbal and visual material (editorials, articles, adverts, pictures) in that particular issue as well as in others. In failing to present history and royalty in a serious or dignified manner, “The Waxworks at the Abbey” at the same time resonates with and undermines the idolisation evident in Eve’s many high society and celebrity pages, thus providing a counterpoint to the magazine’s usual deference to class and cultural hierarchies.

description: With the growing use of popular social media services like Facebook and Twitter it is challenging to collect all content from the networks without access to the core infrastructure or paying for it. Thus, if all content cannot be collected one must consider which data are of most importance. In this work we present a novel User-guided Social Media Crawling method (USMC) that is able to collect data from social media, utilizing the wisdom of the crowd to decide the order in which user generated content should be collected to cover as many user interactions as possible. USMC is validated by crawling 160 public Facebook pages, containing content from 368 million users including 1.3 billion interactions, and it is compared with two other crawling methods. The results show that it is possible to cover approximately 75% of the interactions on a Facebook page by sampling just 20% of its posts, and at the same time reduce the crawling time by 53%. In addition, the social network constructed from the 20% sample contains more than 75% of the users and edges compared to the social network created from all posts, and it has similar degree distribution.
„Adapt a Winning Team!“ Die Auswirkungen der Europäischen Wirtschaftsund Währungsunion auf Konjunkturzyklen und die wirtschaftspolitischen Institutionen. Österreich im europäischen Vergleich

description: Welchen wirtschaftspolitischen Anpassungsdruck ruft der Beitritt zur Europäischen Wirtschaftsund Währungsunion (EWWU) in Österreich hervor? Dieser Frage wird anhand einer vergleichenden Untersuchung stabilitätsorientierter Wirtschaftspolitiken nachgegangen. Im ersten Teil wird eine quantitative Untersuchung zur Interaktion von Geld-, Finanz- und Lohnpolitik in 14 europäischen Ländern für die Zeit vor der Währungsunion entwickelt und Österreich vergleichend eingeordnet. Der Aufsatz argumentiert, dass der aus dem EWWU-Beitritt resultierende Anpassungsdruck asymmetrisch auf die Mitgliedsländer wirkt und abhängig von der stabilitätspolitischen Aufgabenverteilung zwischen Geld-, Lohn- und Finanzpolitik ist, wie sie vor dem EWWU-Beitritt bestand. Die Untersuchung zeigt ein wirtschaftspolitisches Regime in Österreich, das schon vor dem EWWU-Beitritt Mitglied einer de facto Währungsunion mit Deutschland war und dennoch (dank hoher struktureller Ähnlichkeiten mit Deutschland) bis zur Mitte der 1990er Jahre eine antizyklische Geldpolitik zur Stabilisierung einsetzen konnte. Aus dem Analyserahmen lässt sich ableiten, dass der Anpassungsdruck auf die österreichischen wirtschaftspolitischen Institutionen zwar geringer als in vielen anderen EWWU-Ländern ist, dennoch aber nicht unterschätzt werden sollte. Mit dem Beitritt zur Währungsunion nahm der Druck auf die Finanzpolitik zu, die antizyklischen Aufgaben der Geldpolitik zu übernehmen und deshalb aus dem „political exchange“ mit den Gewerkschaften auszuscheren. Der Aufsatz illustriert qualitativ die neue Interaktion von Finanz- und Lohnpolitik seit 1994 und zeigt, warum das korporatistische System Österreichs diesen Wandel in der Finanzpolitik problemlos gemeistert hat, während er anderen Staaten weitaus größere Probleme bereitete.

description: We investigate the present constraints from MINOS and T2K experiments for the neutrino decay scenario induced by non-diagonal couplings of Majorons to neutrinos. As novelty, on top of the typical invisible decay prescription, we add the contribution of visible decay, where final products can be observed. This new effect depends on the nature of the neutrino - Majoron coupling, which can be of scalar or pseudoscalar type. Using the combination of disappearance data from MINOS and disappearance and appearance data from T2K, for normal ordering, we constrain the decay parameter $α\equiv E\,Γ$ for the heaviest neutrino, where $E$ and $Γ$ are the neutrino energy and width, respectively. We find that when considering visible decay within appearance data, one can improve current neutrino long-baseline constraints up to $α< \mathcal{O}(10^{-5})$ eV$^2$, at 90\% C.L., for both kinds of couplings, which is better by one order of magnitude compared to previous bounds.

description: Estimation problems in the presence of deterministic linear nuisance parameters arise in a variety of fields. To cope with those, three common methods are widely considered: (1) jointly estimating the parameters of interest and the nuisance parameters, (2) projecting out the nuisance parameters, (3) selecting a reference and then taking differences between the reference and the observations, which we will refer to as "differential signal processing." A lot of literature has been devoted to these methods, yet all follow separate paths. Based on a unified framework, we analytically explore the relations between these three methods, where we particularly focus on the third one and introduce a general differential approach to cope with multiple distinct nuisance parameters. After a proper whitening procedure, the corresponding best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) are shown to be all equivalent to each other. Accordingly, we unveil some surprising facts, which are in contrast to what is commonly considered in literature, e.g., the reference choice is actually not important for the differencing process. Since this paper formulates the problem in a general manner, one may specialize our conclusions to any particular application. Some localization examples are also presented in this paper to verify our conclusions.

description: Risk-averse model predictive control (MPC) offers a control framework that allows one to account for ambiguity in the knowledge of the underlying probability distribution and unifies stochastic and worst-case MPC. In this paper we study risk-averse MPC problems for constrained nonlinear Markovian switching systems using generic cost functions, and derive Lyapunov-type risk-averse stability conditions by leveraging the properties of risk-averse dynamic programming operators. We propose a controller design procedure to design risk-averse stabilizing terminal conditions for constrained nonlinear Markovian switching systems. Lastly, we cast the resulting risk-averse optimal control problem in a favorable form which can be solved efficiently and thus deems risk-averse MPC suitable for applications.
Integration durch Verfassung und Verfassungsrechtssprechung? Theoretische Anmerkungen

description: Die zeitgenossische politische Theorie attestiert Verfassungen und Verfassungsgerichten integrative Leistungen. Diese resultiert aus einem Konsens, der bestimmte Bereiche, Aspekte, Werte, Prozeduren oder Normen einer Verfassung umschließen soll. Gleichwohl variieren die Vorstellungen davon, wie man Konsens erreichen kann, worauf er sich bezieht und wie der Konsensbereich begründet werden kann. Entlang dieser drei Fragen werden vier Modelle der Integration qua Wertehomogenität, qua Diskurs, qua Neutralität und qua Konflikt gebildet. Aufgrund von Defiziten in diesen Modellen wird in einem zweiten Schritt ein alternatives Modell präsentiert, das Integration als gesellschaftliche Selbstbeobachtung versteht. Dieses Modell kann durch Diskursanalysen von Entscheidungen eines Verfassungsgerichts empirisch überprüft werden.

description: Can global internal and spacetime symmetries be connected without supersymmetry? To answer this question, we investigate Minkowski spacetimes with d space-like extra dimensions and point out under which general conditions external symmetries induce internal symmetries in the effective 4-dimensional theories. We further discuss in this context how internal degrees of freedom and spacetime symmetries can mix without supersymmetry in agreement with the Coleman-Mandula theorem. We present some specific examples which rely on a direct product structure of spacetime such that orthogonal extra dimensions can have symmetries which mix with global internal symmetries. This mechanism opens up new opportunities to understand global symmetries in particle physics.

Von Frauenbewegungen zu Frauenorganisationen, von Empowerment zu FrauenMenschenrechten. Über das Globalwerden internationaler Frauenbewegungspolitik
Creators: name: Ruppert, Uta
Publisher: name: Österreichische Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft
Year: 2015

description: Internationale Frauenbewegungspolitik entwickelt sich zu einer dezidiert globalen Politik. Den Kern dieses Globalwerdens bilden zwei parallele, sich zum Teil gegenseitig verstärkende Prozesse: die Vernetzung und NGOisierung von Frauenbewegungen weltweit und die inhaltliche Akzentuierung des Ansatzes der FrauenMenschenrechte. Beide Veränderungstendenzen sind politisch ambivalent. Einerseits unterstützen sie die Verhandlungspositionen von Frauenbewegungsakteurinnen in den Szenarien globaler Politik, andererseits gefährden sie die besonderen, basisbezogenen Potenziale von Frauenbewegungspolitik. Gleichwohl sind die frauenpolitischen Chancen dieses Prozesses vor allem deshalb beachtlich, weil darin verschiedenste frauenpolitische Handlungsstrategien auf allen politischen Handlungsebenen verschränkt und integriert werden können.

One of its promising physics programs is the study of the partonic structure of quasi-real photons. Measuring di-jets in quasi-real photoproduction events, one can effectively access the underlying parton dynamics of the photons. In this paper, we discuss the feasibility of tagging resolved photon processes and measuring the di-jet cross section as a function of jet transverse momentum in the range of $0.01

description: We report an analytic solution for a three-level atom driven by arbitrary time-dependent electromagnetic pulses. In particular, we consider far-detuned driving pulses and show an excellent match between our analytic result and the numerical simulations. We use our solution to derive a pulse area theorem for three--level $V$ and $Λ$ systems without making the rotating wave approximation. Formulated as an energy conservation law, this pulse area theorem provides a simple picture for a pulse propagation through a three--level media.

description: We study an analog quantum simulator coupled to a reservoir with a known spectral density. The reservoir perturbs the quantum simulation by causing decoherence. The simulator is used to measure an operator average, which cannot be calculated using any classical means. Since we cannot predict the result, it is difficult to estimate the effect of the environment. Especially, it is difficult to resolve whether the perturbation is small or if the actual result of the simulation is in fact very different from the ideal system we intend to study. Here, we show that in specific systems a measurement of additional correlators can be used to verify the reliability of the quantum simulation. The procedure only requires additional measurements on the quantum simulator itself. We demonstrate the method theoretically in the case of a single spin connected to a bosonic environment.

description: Ultra-compact, densely integrated optical components manufactured on a CMOS-foundry platform are highly desirable for optical information processing and electronic-photonic co-integration. However, the large spatial extent of evanescent waves arising from nanoscale confinement, ubiquitous in silicon photonic devices, causes significant cross-talk and scattering loss. Here, we demonstrate that anisotropic all-dielectric metamaterials open a new degree of freedom in total internal reflection to shorten the decay length of evanescent waves. We experimentally show the reduction of cross-talk by greater than 30 times and the bending loss by greater than 3 times in densely integrated, ultra-compact photonic circuit blocks. Our prototype all-dielectric metamaterial-waveguide achieves a low propagation loss of approximately 3.7 dB/cm, comparable to those of silicon strip waveguides. Our approach marks a departure from interference-based confinement as in photonic crystals or slot waveguides, which utilize nanoscale field enhancement. Its ability to suppress evanescent waves without substantially increasing the propagation loss shall pave the way for all-dielectric metamaterial-based dense integration.
Gender Mainstreaming Worldwide – Rekonstruktion einer Reise um die Welt

description: In den letzten Jahren hält ein neuer Begriff – Gender Mainstreaming – seinen Einzug in die institutionalisierte Frauenpolitik in Europa. Die wenigsten scheinen zu wissen oder wissen zu wollen, dass Gender Mainstreaming eine fast 30 Jahre währende Geschichte in Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und Nord-Süd-Politik hat. Selektiv aufgenommene Diskussionsstränge aus Frauenpolitik und feministischer Theorie gingen dabei je kontextspezifische Verbindungen mit den Praktiken und der Kultur patriarchal strukturierter Entwicklungsorganisationen ein. Über das Scharnier der Vierten Weltfrauenkonferenz von 1995 hat Gender Mainstreaming offiziell und als verbindliches Politikmandat die europäische Institutionenlandschaft erreicht. Hier nun spielen in Rezeption wie Umsetzung spezifische Traditionsbestände institutioneller Frauenpolitik eine formierende Rolle. Die feministische Theorie indes ist derzeit mit Diskursen befasst, die es ihr offenbar schwer fallen lassen, Orientierungen für eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem strategischen Konzept Gender Mainstreaming bereitzustellen.

description: Recent discovery of many dwarf satellite galaxies in the direction of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) provokes questions of their origins, and what they can reveal about galaxy evolution theory. Here, we predict the satellite stellar mass function of Magellanic Cloud-mass host galaxies using abundance matching and reionization models applied to the \textit{Caterpillar} simulations. Specifically focusing on the volume within $50$~kpc of the LMC, we predict a mean of 4-8 satellites with stellar mass $M_* > 10^4\, \mathrm{M_\odot}$, and 3-4 satellites with $80 < M_* \leq 3000\, \mathrm{M_\odot}$. Surprisingly, all $12$ currently known satellite candidates have stellar masses of $80 < M_* \leq 3000\, \mathrm{M_\odot}$. Reconciling the dearth of large satellites and profusion of small satellites is challenging and may require a combination of a major modification of the \mstarmhalo relationship (steep, but with an abrupt flattening at $10^3\, \mathrm{M_\odot}$), late reionization for the Local Group ($z_{\rm{reion}} \lesssim 9$ preferred), and/or strong tidal stripping. We can more robustly predict that $\sim 53\%$ of satellites within this volume were accreted together with the LMC and SMC, and $\sim 47\%$ were only ever Milky Way satellites. Observing satellites of isolated LMC-sized field galaxies is essential to placing the LMC in context, and to better constrain the \mstarmhalo relationship. Modeling known LMC-sized galaxies within $8$ Mpc, we predict 1-6 (2-12) satellites with $M_* > 10^5\, \mathrm{M_\odot}$ ($M_* > 10^4\, \mathrm{M_\odot}$) within the virial volume of each, and 1-3 (1-7) within a single $1.5^{\circ}$ diameter field of view, making their discovery likely.

description: Globalisierung erreicht afrikanische Länder in Form von so genannten „Strukturanpassungsprogrammen“ von Weltbank und Internationalem Währungsfond. Ugandas Austeritätspolitik war zwar in den vergangenen Jahren vergleichsweise erfolgreich, doch die Kehrseite von steigendem Wirtschaftswachstum ist steigende Armut insbesondere in urbanen Zentren. Ohne die informelle Arbeit von Frauen könnten die Menschen in den Ballungszentren Ugandas nicht überleben. Frauen sind es, die das Überleben ihrer teilweise auf dem Land zurück gebliebenen Familien sichern, da Männerarbeitsplätze, sprich: formelle Lohnarbeit, knapp ist. Und doch ist gerade die Informalität der Arbeit von Frauen – als Straßenhändlerinnen, Kinder- und Hausmädchen und Prostituierte – die Ursache steigender Frauenarmut. Will Strukturanpassung die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich nicht vergrößern, so bedarf es Programme, die explizit auf die Situation städtischer Arbeiterinnen eingehen wie beispielsweise Kleinkredite, aber auch Infrastruktur zur Selbstorganisation und Selbstvertretung von Frauen im informellen Sektor.

description: This study focused on the arching effect in granular soils. The results indicated the presence of arching effect in an embankment founded on piles over a soft soil. However, formation of "arches" in the stress field was not detected; instead, a diffused type of arching was observed.
description: A column-supporting system for embankments on soft soils is analyzed using the Finite Element Method. The numerical problem has boundary conditions similar to that of a trap-door, but, contrary to the classical trap-door studies, the focus in this paper is on the load transfer to the supporting columns measured by the system efficacy, and on the critical embankment height that prevents differential settlements on the embankment surface. The stress state simulated in the embankment rapidly evolves in the first stages of the soft soil settlement, measured by millimeters, but the changes to the elastic-plastic stress field developed are marginal in the subsequent stages of settlement simulated up to 10 cm. The displacement field in low embankments with a height comparable to the column spacing is dominated by the failure mechanism with shear bands reaching the embankment crown, causing differential settlements on the embankment surface. In higher embankments, the failure mechanism is confined to the lower portion of the fill, and no differential settlements were detected on the embankment surface. It was suggested that a hypothetical diffused soil arch formed above the failure mechanism, with a shape approximately following the principal stress trajectories. This conjecture was made based on the presence of elevated stress along the symmetry plane of the embankment-column periodic cell. Numbers related to system efficacy and critical height are reported for a limited set of model parameters, but the qualitative outcome of the study is likely applicable to a wider variety of embankments.

description: In den Ländern der Europäischen Union finden tiefgreifende Veränderungen wohlfahrtsstaatlicher Arrangements statt, die sowohl Ausdruck ökonomischer und demografischer Veränderungen sind, als auch auf mentalen und kulturellen Einstellungsänderungen beruhen. Der ökonomische Druck auf die Wohlfahrtsstaaten transportiert auf der theoretischen Ebene neoliberale Debatten, die die Kategorie „Geschlecht“ de-thematisieren, und Debatten zur Standortfrage, die auf einen Abbau sozialer Standards orientieren – beides soll im ersten Teil dieses Beitrags angesprochen werden. Der zweite Teil des Beitrags arbeitet – exemplarisch skizziert anhand der Rentenreform 2001 in Deutschland (einem Systemwechsel) und an der gegenwärtigen Rentenpolitik in Frankreich (einer Politik der kleinen Schritte) – heraus, dass der Umbau der Wohlfahrtsstaaten, in Abhängigkeit von den jeweiligen Gender- Konzepten und von der jeweiligen strukturellen Konzeption der Alterssicherungssysteme, länderspezifisch unterschiedlich verläuft. Es wird die These vertreten, dass sich in der gegenwärtigen Rentenreform in Deutschland neoliberale Diskurse stärker umsetzen (Einführung einer privaten Kapitalrente) als in Frankreich. Die Autorin führt die größere Resistenz gegenüber einem liberalen Umbau im französischen System auf den ausgeprägten Familiarismus zurück.

description: This document introduces and formalizes the foundational geometry of the Temporal Sciences framework — a unified, rotational model of the universe in which actual time T, mass m, energy E, and distance D are phase-locked fields embedded in a dynamic curvature manifold. Departing from classical force-based paradigms, this work reinterprets gravitational behavior, the fine-structure constant α, and the speed of light c as emergent consequences of rotational misalignment within a temporally curved space.

Key contributions include:

Derivation of the fine-structure constant as a base angular quantum from geometric misalignment ϕ-RFD

A redefinition of c as a phase projection ratio: the angular bridge between time and distance

The Chronotensity and Chronomatrix field expressions as time-curvature analogs to Newton’s gravitational constant

A phase-aligned tetrahedral structure encoding T, m, D, and E with resonance to baryonic curvature scales

This work is a companion to the Temporal Sciences Nexus, and serves as the geometric foundation for future expansions into biological timeflow, quantum curvature resonance, and time-based cosmological modeling.

description: The rarefied effect of gas flow in microchannel is significant and cannot be well described by traditional hydrodynamic models. It has been know that discrete Boltzmann model (DBM) has the potential to investigate flows in a relatively wider range of Knudsen number because of its intrinsic kinetic nature inherited from Boltzmann equation. It is crucial to have a proper kinetic boundary condition for DBM to capture the velocity slip and the flow characteristics in the Knudsen layer. In this paper, we present a DBM combined with Maxwell-type boundary condition model for slip flow. The tangential momentum accommodation coefficient is introduced to implement a gas-surface interaction model. Both the velocity slip and the Knudsen layer under various Knudsen numbers and accommodation coefficients can be well described. Two kinds of slip flows, including Couette flow and Poiseuille flow, are simulated to verify the model. To dynamically compare results from different models, the relation between the definition of Knudsen number in hard sphere model and that in BGK model is clarified.

Forming Super-Mercuries The role of stellar abundances

description: We investigated the formation of iron-rich rocky exoplanets, also termed 'super-Mercuries', via pebble accretion in discs around their respective host stars. This is done using a disc evolution model which includes the evaporation and condensation of pebbles at various evaporation fronts in the disc, as well as accounting for stellar abundances when computing the initial disc composition. We find that a low viscosity disc is favourable for the formation of super-Mercuries. The combined effects of long viscous evolution and orbital migration timescales in low-viscosity discs facilitate the growth of iron-rich planets near the iron evaporation front. Furthermore, we also find a decreasing trend in planet iron mass fraction with increasing stellar Mg/Si ratio, which implies that super-Mercuries are more likely to form around stars with low Mg/Si, in agreement with observational data.

description: Ökonomische Globalisierung ist als geschlechtsgebundener Prozess zu identifizieren. Dennoch aber ignoriert der Mainstream in der Globalisierungsdebatte diese gesellschaftliche Tatsache. Dieser Beitrag versucht daher, geschlechterrelevante Aspekte globaler Veränderungen freizulegen. Globalismus ist die neoliberale Variante, Ökonomien, Gesellschaften und Geschlechterregime neu zu ordnen. Aus einer feministischen Perspektive scheint es unzureichend, die Kategorie Geschlecht nur auf Frauen zu beziehen und sie zudem als alleinige Opfer der Globalisierung zu betrachten. In neo-liberale Globalisierung ist jedenfalls auch Maskulinismus eingeschrieben, der einen Trend zu restaurativer Geschlechterpolitik indiziert.

In addition, we prove that the Sobolev spaces of type $q$ are continuously embedded in the Besov spaces of the same type if and only if $Y$ has martingale cotype $q$. We interpret this as an extension of earlier results of Xu (1998), and Martínez, Torrea and Xu (2006). These two results combined give the characterization that $Y$ admits an equivalent norm with modulus of convexity of power type $q$ if and only if weakly differentiable functions have good local approximations with polynomials.

We find the running of the vacuum energy stemming from the Higgs condensate in the entire energy range and show that it behaves as expected from the simple dimensional arguments meaning that it exhibits the quadratic sensitivity to the mass of the heavy particles in the infrared regime. The consequence of such a running to the fine-tuning problem with the measured value of the Cosmological Constant is analyzed and the constraint on the mass spectrum of a given model is derived. We show that in the Standard Model (SM) this fine-tuning constraint is not satisfied while in the massless theories this constraint formally coincides with the well known Veltman condition. We also provide a remarkably simple extension of the SM where saturation of this constraint enables us to predict the radiative Higgs mass correctly. Generalization to constant curvature spaces is also given.

Die politische Institutionalisierung einer erweiterten Europäischen Union
Creators: name: Siedschlag, Alexander
Publisher: name: Österreichische Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft
Year: 2015

description: Institutioneller Wandel bzw. institutioneller Transfer in einer sich erweiternden Europäischen Union wird streng genommen erst dann ein staats- und sozialwissenschaftliches Thema, wenn man unter dem institutionellen Aspekt der Erweiterung nicht nur Anpassungsschemata für die Erfüllung der Erfordernisse des Gemeinsamen Markts versteht, sondern wenn man auch fragt, welche Abgleichungen von Problemwahrnehmungen, von sozialen Normen, von soziokulturell programmierten Standardoperationsverfahren und von Europagedanken erfolgen müssen. Im Rahmen der Diskussion über Governance in Europa betrifft das die Dimension der reflexiven Institutionalisierung. Die Assoziierungspolitik sowie die Beitrittsstrategie der EU werden vor diesem Hintergrund resümiert und bewertet. Dabei wird herausgearbeitet, zu welchen Problemen und spezifischen Beitrittskonflikten es führt, wenn die Union zu wenig Gewicht auf die reflexive Komponente ihrer Erweiterung legt.

description: The adiabatic theorem and "shortcuts to adiabaticity" for the adiabatic dynamics of time-dependent decoherence-free subspaces are explored in this paper. Starting from the definition of the dynamical stable decoherence-free subspaces, we show that, under a compact adiabatic condition, the quantum state follows time-dependent decoherence-free subspaces (the adiabatic decoherence free subspaces) into the target subspace with extremely high purity, even though the dynamics of the quantum system may be non-adiabatic. The adiabatic condition mentioned in the adiabatic theorem is very similar with the adiabatic condition for closed quantum systems, except that the operators required to be "slowness" is on the Lindblad operators. We also show that the adiabatic decoherence-free subspaces program depends on the existence of instantaneous decoherence-free subspaces, which requires that the Hamiltonian of open quantum systems has to be engineered according to the incoherent control program. Besides, "the shortcuts to adiabaticity" for the adiabatic decoherence-free subspaces program is also presented based on the transitionless quantum driving method. Finally, we provide an example of physical systems that support our programs. Our approach employs Markovian master equations and applies primarily to finite-dimensional quantum systems.

Transversally strictly hyperbolic systems

description: We consider the Cauchy problem for first order systems. Assuming that the set of the singular points of the characteristic variety is a smooth manifold and the characteristic values are real and semi-simple we introduce a new class which is strictly hyperbolic in the transverse direction to the characteristic manifold. We prove that if the characteristic manifold is either involutive or symplectic then these transversally strictly hyperbolic systems are strongly hyperbolic. On the other hand if the characteristic manifold is neither involutive nor symplectic transversally strictly hyperbolic systems are much more involved which is discussed taking an interesting example.
Politisches Ordnungsdenken aus christlichem Glauben. Eric Voegelins Antwort auf das Zeitalter der Ideologien
Creators: name: Schönherr-Mann, Hans-Martin
Publisher: name: Österreichische Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft
Year: 2015

description: Das Zeitalter des Totalitarismus prägt das politische Denken Eric Voegelins (1901–1985). Angesichts der gefährdeten westlichen Welt sucht er nach den Fundamenten der politischen Ordnung, die er nicht in der liberalen, sondern in der christlichen Tradition diagnostiziert. Kommunismus, Faschismus und sogar der Liberalismus als vorherrschende Ideologien der Moderne wurzeln nämlich gemeinsam in einer weit herkommenden Tradition des Gnostizismus, der die unveränderlichen menschlichen Wesensmerkmale aufzulösen trachtet. Demgegenüber propagiert Voegelin einen starken Staat, der sich nicht von den Illusionen einer Medienwelt blenden lässt, der vielmehr das Böse noch zu identifizieren vermag. Dem Ideologieverdacht sucht Voegelin dagegen im Rückgriff auf die platonisch- augustinische Tradition zu entgehen. Ein originär christliches Denken braucht dann auch keine explizite Ethik, die es wie im scholastischen Denken automatisch enthält.

description: In this work, we aim to explore connections between dynamical systems techniques and combinatorial optimization problems. In particular, we construct heuristic approaches for the traveling salesman problem (TSP) based on embedding the relaxed discrete optimization problem into appropriate manifolds. We explore multiple embedding techniques -- namely, the construction of new dynamical systems on the manifold of orthogonal matrices and associated Procrustes approximations of the TSP cost function. Using these dynamical systems, we analyze the local neighborhood around the optimal TSP solutions (which are equilibria) using computations to approximate the associated \emph{stable manifolds}. We find that these flows frequently converge to undesirable equilibria. However, the solutions of the dynamical systems and the associated Procrustes approximation provide an interesting biasing approach for the popular Lin--Kernighan heuristic which yields fast convergence. The Lin--Kernighan heuristic is typically based on the computation of edges that have a `high probability' of being in the shortest tour, thereby effectively pruning the search space. Our new approach, instead, relies on a natural relaxation of the combinatorial optimization problem to the manifold of orthogonal matrices and the subsequent use of this solution to bias the Lin--Kernighan heuristic. Although the initial cost of computing these edges using the Procrustes solution is higher than existing methods, we find that the Procrustes solution, when coupled with a homotopy computation, contains valuable information regarding the optimal edges. We explore the Procrustes based approach on several TSP instances and find that our approach often requires fewer $k$-opt moves than existing approaches. Broadly, we hope that this work initiates more work in the intersection of dynamical systems theory and combinatorial optimization.

description: Given a Kähler manifold $(Z,J,ω)$ and a compact real submanifold $M\subset Z$, we study the properties of the gradient map associated with the action of a noncompact real reductive Lie group ${\rm G}$ on the space of probability measures on $M.$ In particular, we prove convexity results for such map when ${\rm G}$ is Abelian and we investigate how to extend them to the non-Abelian case.

description: In living cells, biochemical reactions are catalyzed by specific enzymes and connect to one another by sharing substrates and products, forming complex networks. In our previous studies, we established a framework determining the responses to enzyme perturbations only from network topology, and then proved a theorem, called the law of localization, explaining response patterns in terms of network topology. In this paper, we generalize these results to reaction networks with conserved concentrations, which allows us to study any reaction systems. We also propose novel network characteristics quantifying robustness. We compare E. coli metabolic network with randomly rewired networks, and find that the robustness of the E. coli network is significantly higher than that of the random networks.

Publisher: name: LEA - Lingue e Letterature d'Oriente e d'Occidente
Year: 2022

description: The article focuses on one of the crucial aspects that differentiates Italian and Finnish: the way to express definiteness and indefiniteness. Italian is a typical article-language whereas Finnish has no such means to convey definiteness or indefiniteness but other linguistic strategies can be optionally used. After presenting the main characteristics of Italian and Finnish we will discuss which can be the challenges in translation and for language learners.

Die Wehrmacht und die Ausstellung „Vernichtungskrieg. Verbrechen der Wehrmacht 1941 bis 1944“ als Thema österreichischer Vergangenheitspolitik
Creators: name: Manoschek, Walter
Publisher: name: Österreichische Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft
Year: 2015

description: Die Ausstellung „Vernichtungskrieg. Verbrechen der Wehrmacht 1941 bis 1944“ hat wie keine andere materialisierte Form der Erinnerungskultur über die NS-Zeit in Österreich Kontroversen ausgelöst und war sowohl Gegenstand als auch Anlass von geschichtspolitischen Konflikten, die über die Ausstellungsinhalte selbst hinausgingen. Der Artikel skizziert die Erodierung der staatstragenden Opferthese, rekonstruiert die Etablierung der gesellschaftlichen Erinnerungspraxis von der „sauberen“ Wehrmacht und stellt das Geschichtsbild von der unpolitischen und entideologisierten Wehrmacht und ihrer (österreichischen) Angehörigen den empirisch erhobenen kollektiven Erinnerungen der österreichischen Wehrmachtssoldaten gegenüber. Die Diskrepanz zwischen diesen beiden Erinnerungen war – so die These – ein maßgeblicher Faktor für die emotionale Heftigkeit des Konflikts um die Ausstellung. Die Analyse der Reaktionen der politischen Parteien und zivilgesellschaftlicher Gruppen auf die Ausstellung kommt zum Ergebnis, dass zwei neue vergangenheitspolitische Lager entstanden sind: Der konkordanzpolitische Elitenkonsens von SPÖ und ÖVP über die NS-Vergangenheit (Opferthese) wurde abgelöst von einer Koalition aus zivilgesellschaftlichen Gruppen und politischen Parteien (SPÖ, Grüne, Liberale), die eine Internalisierung der NS-Herrschaft in die österreichische Geschichte im Sinne von Mittäterschaft und Mitverantwortung anstrebt, und einem Bündnis aus Veteranenverbänden, ÖVP und FPÖ, das die schuldhafte Partizipation der österreichischen Gesellschaft am Nationalsozialismus weiterhin tabuisiert, relativiert oder verleugnet.
