Binäre Diskurskonstruktionen als mentale Realitäts- und Möglichkeitskonstruktionen. Exemplifiziert am ‚Dramatischen Dialog‘ des 16. bis 18. Jh.*
Creators: name: Mucha, Katharina
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Semiotik
Year: 2023

description: Zusammenfassung. Der Beitrag skizziert die Konzeption von Diskurskonstruktionen und stellt Aspekte der Analyse von zwei binären Diskurskonstruktionen vor, wer p, (der) q und wenn p, (dann/so) q. Diese binären Konstruktionen dienen dazu, Relationen zwi­schen Elementen auf der Basis des Konditionalschemas zu definieren, dies jedoch in unterschiedlicher Weise, nämlich als objektiv gesetzte Realität oder als zu evaluieren­de Möglichkeit. Die Konzeption der Diskurskonstruktionen ist angebunden an die Men­tal Space Theory, nach der Wissensstrukturen als Repräsentationen in mentalen Räu­men integriert, selegiert, komponiert und elaboriert werden. Je nach Aufbau der Räume ergeben sich unterschiedliche inferentielle Prozesse, die auf soziale Praktiken entwe­der als quasi objektiv gegeben oder verhandelbar verweisen. Der kognitiv-konstrukti­onsgrammatische Ansatz ist verknüpft mit der philosophischen Frage, auf welche Weise das Selbst und seine Realitäten durch soziale Interaktion sichtbar werden. Binäre Dis­kurskonstruktionen kommen in Dramentexten des 16. bis 18. Jh. unterschiedlich häu­fig vor. Evidenzen aus dem literarischen Korpus stützen die theoretischen Überlegun­gen.

Credit Ratings, Credit Default Swaps and Credit Correlation
Creators: name: Evans, Leonard Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This thesis looks at the statistical interaction of credit ratings and Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads. Both have been implicated as major contributors to the financial crises of 2007-present. The body of work contained herein looks to further our understanding of their relationship and in doing so, I make three empirical contributions to the fields of credit risk and financial economics. Firstly, in Chapter 2, I uncover a striking empirical artifact contained within CDS correlation dynamics. Namely, that there is a well-defined credit rating structure embedded in them. Although much of the extant literature treats credit derivatives and equity as contingent claims on the same underlying firm value, by contrast, no rating-based structure exists in equity correlations. In Chapter 3, I demonstrate that rating-based correlation dynamics in CDS markets are not fully consistent with the traditional framework of financial economics in which a security’s price merely reflects its fundamental value. I show that the trading behaviour of market participants in relation to CDS indices, the constituents of which are based on the discrete and somewhat arbitrary labeling of issuers as either investment-grade or high-yield, drives a distortion in single-name CDS co-movement. My results can be interpreted as the first evidence of a significant departure from traditional views of market efficiency in a $30 trillion segment of global derivatives markets. Finally, in Chapter 4, I go on to explore the complete time-series and cross-sectional interaction of the credit rating process on CDS spreads. In doing so, I identify that prior to the crisis, credit rating agencies played a much greater role in the price discovery process of corporate credit risk. As such, there has been a significant loss of information in credit ratings. This result can be explained via a loss of confidence in rating agencies due to a spill-over effect of reputational damage from their role in the collapse of the $3tn structured credit derivatives market. The use of ex post hyper-inflated AAA ratings on CDOs and RMBS, and the subsequent fall-out from doing so, has altered how credit market participants react to the information contained in corporate credit ratings. These results are particularly relevant in light of impending regulatory reform under the Dodd-Frank act of 2010.

Broadening options for long-term dialysis in the elderly
Creators: name: Johansson, Lina Rita
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Currently, older people predominantly begin treatment on haemodialysis (HD), with the proportion of people starting on peritoneal dialysis (PD) steadily declining over recent years despite survival and some quality of life (QOL) indicators appearing similar between those on PD and HD. This thesis explores whether PD is under-utilised by older people in the UK through three cross-sectional, multicentre studies focusing on QOL and the modality decision making process. The first study aims to extend knowledge of HD and PD QOL outcomes. Seventy older patients on PD were matched to patients on HD by age, sex, time on dialysis, ethnicity and index of deprivation. QOL assessments included the SF-12 and Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale. Regression analyses, adjusted for multiple variables including comorbidities, found that patients on PD experienced less illness and treatment intrusion than those on HD, with other QOL outcomes found to be similar between the two groups. The second study investigates the involvement that 65 older patients, new to HD, had in their modality selection. Data was collected using a questionnaire designed for the purpose. Only 52% of the sample perceived having had some involvement in their modality decision and 33% expressed a preference for greater involvement than that experienced. In the final study, experiences of modality decision making and life on dialysis were explored through qualitative analysis of narratives from 30 older patients on HD and PD. Findings demonstrate that decisions are influenced by patients’ prior experiences, as well as their medical and social context. Quality of education can impact on modality selection and the integration of dialysis into patients’ lives. In conclusion, a lack of involvement in modality selection can have a detrimental impact on older patients’ QOL. Healthcare professionals should, therefore, strive to implement effective shared decision making in the selection of a dialysis modality.

Was heißt „Vorhandensein“? Die kulturwissenschaftliche Relevanz einer Klärung
Creators: name: Schlaberg, Claus
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Semiotik
Year: 2023

description: Zusammenfassung. Dieser Beitrag baut auf der Idee auf, Wahrmacher in eine Wahrheits­bedingungen-Semantik zu integrieren. Speziell geht er der Frage nach, Wahrheitsbedin­gungen welcher Art für Aussagen in Frage kommen, die einer Sache Vorhandensein – im Unterschied dazu, bloßes intentionales Objekt zu sein – zuschreiben. Die adverbiale The­orie der Wahrnehmung behandelt Erleben, zum Beispiel Erscheinungen (visuelles Erle­ben), als ‚adverbial‘ klassifizierbar. Als weiterer Ansatz zur Charakterisierung des Verhält­nisses einer Erscheinung (visuelles Erleben) zu dem jeweils Erscheinenden wird der semantische Externalismus berücksichtigt. Auf dieser Grundlage wird Vorhandensein von y als Disposition zu y-Erleben begriffen: Dass y vorhanden ist, wird als Disposition zu solchem Erleben verstanden, das adverbial als y-Erleben charakterisiert ist. Dieser Ansatz trägt dazu bei, die verschiedenen Perspektiven der Naturwissenschaften und der Kultur­wissenschaften verständlicher zu machen. Naturwissenschaften sind auf y gerichtet, wäh­rend die Kulturwissenschaften vor allem y-Erleben thematisieren.

description: Zusammenfassung. Die terminologischen Eigenschaften Exaktheit, Eindeutigkeit und Eigentlichkeit können anhand des semiotischen Dreiecks von Ogden und Richards erfasst und aufeinander bezogen werden: Mit Blick auf Bedeutung, Ausdruck und Wirklichkeit erweisen sie sich dabei als referentielle, semantische und mentale (motivierte) Unmiss­verständlichkeit von Termini. Sie werden im Rahmen eines systemlinguistischen Inventar­modells, eines pragmalinguistischen Kontextmodells und eines kognitionslinguistischen Funktionsmodells jeweils unterschiedlich konzipiert. Exaktheit, Eindeutigkeit und Eigent­lichkeit werden systemlinguistisch postuliert, pragmalinguistisch analysiert oder kogniti­onslinguistisch interpretiert. Argumentativ wie historisch zeigt sich hierbei ein dialektisches Verhältnis der drei Modelle.

We obtain isotopic ratios 40Ca/42Ca = (128+-47) and 40Ca/44Ca = (50+-8), consistent with terrestrial values. This is the first in situ determination of the solar wind calcium isotopic composition and is important for studies of stellar modeling and solar system formation since the present-day solar Ca isotopic abundances are unchanged from their original isotopic composition in the solar nebula.

Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider Hilbert spaces of analytic functions in the disk with a normalized reproducing kernel and such that the backward shift $f(z) \mapsto \frac{f(z)-f(0)}{z}$ is a contraction on the space. We present a model for this operator and use it to prove the surprising result that functions which extend continuously to the closure of the disk are dense in the space. This has several applications, for example we can answer a question regarding reverse Carleson embeddings for these spaces. We also identify a large class of spaces which are similar to the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces and prove some results which are new even in the classical case.

Von subhumaner zu humanspezifischer Interaktion. Tomasello und die Qualität des Zeigens

Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Semiotik
Year: 2023

description: Zusammenfassung. Die zunehmend auch in sozialtheoretischen Diskursen beachte­te Forschung Michael Tomasellos erhebt deiktische Gesten zum entscheidenden Umschlagpunkt zwischen animalischen und spezifisch menschlichen Interaktionsfor­maten. Auf einer mentalistischen Grundlage scheut Tomasello nicht davor zurück, das Zeigen qualitativ gleichzusetzen mit der gesprochenen Sprache und es zur ontogene­tisch und phylogenetisch frühesten Form humanspezifischer kooperativer Kommuni­kation zu erklären. In diesem Beitrag sollen zunächst aus der ausdruckstheoretischen Anlage des Forschungsprogramms resultierende Widersprüche und Zirkularitäten auf­gedeckt werden, um anschließend unter Zuhilfenahme der Arbeiten Karl Bühlers eine funktionalistische Analyse der von Tomasello in verschiedenen Beispielen dargeleg­ten deiktischen Qualität vorzunehmen, die auch ein neues Licht wirft auf Tomasellos Erklärung des Übergangs zur gesprochenen Sprache. Abschließend wird gezeigt, dass Tomasellos Ansatz kaum verlässliche Aussagen zur sozialen Praxis sowie zur Genese von kognitiven Vermögen und Kontaktmitteln generiert, dass seine Erkennt­nisse zur kognitiven Leistungsfähigkeit von Kindern und nichtmenschlichen Primaten aber unterstützend hinzugezogen werden sollten, um den tatsächlichen Übergang zur menschlichen Sprache näher zu entschlüsseln.

Characterisation of the ADAMTS13 Metalloprotease Domain
Creators: name: Xiang, Yaozu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a large multi-domain plasma glycoprotein that is critical for normal platelet tethering during haemostasis. ADAMTS13 is a plasma metalloprotease that regulates VWF multimeric size/function by cleaving the Tyr1605-Met1606 bond in the VWF A2 domain. Deficiency of ADAMTS13 causes microvascular thrombosis. The only reported cleavage of VWF by ADAMTS13 is that of the Tyr1605-Met1606 bond. How this high substrate specificity is conferred remains unclear. To date, all the interactions between these molecules that have been described involve VWF residues C-terminal to the scissile bond and the non-catalytic domains of ADAMTS13. I hypothesised that VWF also contains an interaction site for ADAMTS13 N-terminal of the cleavage site to aid both in positioning of the scissile bond in the active site and substrate specificity. Previous studies have suggested that the VWF sequence between Asp1596 and Val1604, N-terminal to the cleavage site, is essential for cleavage by ADAMTS13. My aim was to identify the residues in this region that are important determinants for ADAMTS13 proteolysis. A panel of mutations were introduced into the substrate VWF 115 (VWF residues 1554- 1668). The mutants were expressed purified and their proteolysis by ADAMTS13 analysed. It was found that the proteolysis of VWF 115 variants (L1603A, L1603S, L1603N or L1603K) were all substantially impaired (up to >400 fold reduction). The importance of VWF Leu1603 was confirmed using a synthetic peptide 1596DREQAPNLVY1605, which competitively inhibited proteolysis of VWF 115 by ADAMTS13. A mutant peptide containing the L1603A mutation, 1596DREQAPNAVY1605, had minimal effect. When the VWF L1603A substitution was introduced into the full-length recombinant VWF, proteolysis by ADAMTS13 was again substantially reduced. These findings implied the presence of a subsite (S3) in the ADAMTS13 metalloprotease (MP) domain that interacts with VWF Leu1603. Using molecular modelling, the distance between VWF Leu1603 and the scissile bond was estimated as ~10Å. Structural homology modelling of the MP domain, mutagenesis of 11 candidate residues and functional characterisation of these variants identified two clusters, Leu198/Leu232/Leu274 and Val195/Leu151, as possible subsites interacting with VWF. It is suggested that VWF Leu1603 interacts with Leu198/Leu232/Leu274, while Val195/Leu151 may interact with VWF Tyr1605. I propose a mechanism for VWF cleavage involving remote C-terminal domain interactions that assist initial orientation of the VWF scissile bond within the active site of ADAMTS13, but in which N-terminal hydrophobic interactions between VWF Leu1603 and the S3 subsite in the MP domain of ADAMTS13 are critical for the positioning required for cleavage of the Tyr1605-Met1606 scissile bond.

Photonic band-gap transmission map of graphene in a defective optical structure

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Interaction of graphene with a defect layer of a 1D defective photonic structure correspondingly could open a Dirac gap in its nonlinear energy dispersion. Also, an excitonic gap could be created upon applied strong magnetic fields at low temperatures. Now, the exact solution for the transmission of the allowed defective states under the influence of a homogeneous magnetic field requires providing a new scheme for the transfer matrix method to cover the circularly polarized propagation of the light in THz regime. In this paper, through an easy-to-follow framework for obtaining the distinct expression of the related transfer matrix method, it is observed that the hybrid defective states in the suggested optical structure undergo an unconventional transmission map as function of Dirac gap. Moreover, it is shown that mapping the transmission spectrum in the frequency space reveals peculiar results for narrow-band transport of the defective states. Finally, it is demonstrated that the transmission spectrum shows plateaus as a function of the applied magnetic field analogues to the situations observed for the conductance of a 2D electron gas system in the quantum Hall effect regime. This almost simple suggested design which can be fully controlled marks the first optical counterpart of quantum Hall effect in optics.

description: This study develops a rapid and eco-friendly liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method for determining dictamnine, obacunone, and fraxinellone in Cortex Dictamni. The samples were extracted by matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction with ethanol. The liquid chromatography separation was operated on an Agilent InfinityLab Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column (2.1 mm × 30 mm, 2.7 μm) using 45% ethanol at a 0.3 mL/min flow rate. Mass spectrometry detection was set at positive ion mode, and the selected ion monitoring mode was used to record the target compounds: dictamnine (mass-to-charge ratio 200), obacunone (mass-to-charge ratio 455), and fraxinellone (mass-to-charge ratio 233). The calibration curves exhibited good linearity (R > 0.9994) within the test range. The intra-day precision was 0.601% for dictamnine, 1.03% for obacunone, and 0.898% for fraxinellone. The recoveries were 100% for dictamnine, 101% for obacunone, and 96.2% for fraxinellone. Six samples were analyzed, and they all conformed to the content requirements of the Chinese Pharmacopeia. Notably, the developed method only requires 6.07 mL ethanol and costs 12 min. This study presents a rapid and eco-friendly analytical method for determining three components in Cortex Dictamni, which will help improve the quality evaluation technology of Cortex Dictamni.
Diagramme von Gesten. Eine zeichentheoretische Analyse digitaler Bewegungsspuren

description: Zusammenfassung. Dieser Beitrag versucht eine zeichentheoretische Untersuchung von Diagrammen, wie sie im Rahmen der motion-capture-gestützten, empirischen Ges­tenforschung zur Repräsentation und Analyse redebegleitender Gesten erzeugt und verwendet werden. Nach Vorüberlegungen zum Diagrammbegriff und einer Darlegung herkömmlicher Mittel der visuellen Repräsentation von redebegleitender Gestik, folgt eine zeichentheoretische Analyse des Motion-Capture-Verfahrens und deren diagram­matisch-semiotische Interpretation. Motion-Capture-Diagramme sind, so unsere Hypo­these, das Produkt eines diagrammatischen Verfahrens, welches als empirische Skala zu deuten ist. Die „Erkenntniskraft der Linie“ (Krämer 2011) liegt hier in der ikonischen Visualisierung von Trajektorien, welche durch die Projektion eines Indexes auf ein Koor­dinatensystem zu Perzeptionsgestalten von Gesten werden. Weiterhin erörtert dieser Beitrag diagrammatische Prozesse in Gesten selbst, welche das eingangs diskutierte System als holistische Gestalt sichtbar machen kann. Diese Verfahren finden ihren räumlich-aktionalen Niederschlag u.a. sowohl in verkörperten Bildschemata, in der rela­tionalen Repräsentation von Abstrakta, als auch in Gestendiagrammen basierend auf mentalen Karten, wie sie z.B. bei der Planung von Reisen in der Face-to-Face-Kommu­nikation im Gestenraum entstehen.

description: Recent determinations of the upper mass limit to the local initial mass function (IMF) claim a value of m(upper)=50+/-10 solar masses, based upon direct comparisons of the observed oxygen and iron abundances in metal-poor stars with the predicted stellar yields from Type II supernovae (SNe). An unappreciated uncertainty in these analyses is the input physics intrinsic to each SNe grid, and its effect upon stellar nucleosynthesis. We demonstrate how such uncertainties, coupled with the uncertain metal-poor halo star normalization, while allowing us to set a lower bound to m(upper) of approximately 40 solar masses, nullifies any attempt at constraining the upper bound.

description: We report a new microscopic equation of state (EOS) of dense symmetric nuclear matter, pure neutron matter, and asymmetric and $β$-stable nuclear matter at zero temperature using recent realistic two-body and three-body nuclear interactions derived in the framework of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) and including the $Δ(1232)$ isobar intermediate state. This EOS is provided in tabular form and in parametrized form ready for use in numerical general relativity simulations of binary neutron star merging. Here we use our new EOS for $β$-stable nuclear matter to compute various structural properties of non-rotating neutron stars.The EOS is derived using the Brueckner--Bethe--Goldstone quantum many-body theory in the Brueckner--Hartree--Fock approximation. Neutron star properties are next computed solving numerically the Tolman--Oppenheimer--Volkov structure equations. Our EOS models are able to reproduce the empirical saturation point of symmetric nuclear matter, the symmetry energy $E_{sym}$, and its slope parameter $L$ at the empirical saturation density $n_{0}$. In addition, our EOS models are compatible with experimental data from collisions between heavy nuclei at energies ranging from a few tens of MeV up to several hundreds of MeV per nucleon. These experiments provide a selective test for constraining the nuclear EOS up to $\sim 4 n_0$. Our EOS models are consistent with present measured neutron star masses and particularly with the mass $M = 2.01 \pm 0.04 \, M_{\odot}$ of the neutron stars in PSR~J0348+0432.

description: Zusammenfassung. QR-Codes sind keine völlig neue Entwicklung, doch ist ihr Ein­satz im öffentlichen Raum erst in den vergangenen Jahren in den Vordergrund getre­ten. Besonders die digitale Mediatisierung der Gesellschaft durch Smartphones und mobiles Internet hat die Nutzung dieser Technik für Medienunternehmen und private Nutzer deutlich interessanter gemacht. Noch ist jedoch unklar, welchen effektiven Nut­zen diese Technik bringt und welche Anwendungsbereiche sinnvoll und lohnenswert für potentielle Rezipienten sind. In diesem Beitrag möchte ich sowohl auf die technische Seite von Barcode-Strukturen eingehen als auch die Gestalt des QR-Codes unter semi­otisch-semantischen Gesichtspunkten erfassen und ihre Besonderheiten herausstel­len. Es wird untersucht, welches Wissen erforderlich ist, um QR-Codes als Zeichen zu erkennen und erfolgreich zu nutzen, und ein Beitrag zur Verdeutlichung des Nutzungs­potentials von QR-Codes als ein neuer Zeichentyp im öffentlichen Raum geleistet.

description: This report critically evaluates this project’s processes and outputs (the film), and pays particular attention to the efficacy of the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach that informed the project’s methodology. The CBPR approach was chosen to enhance genuine and meaningful collaboration between project partners, with a view to creating a film that could overcome some of the inherent communication barriers that diminishes the effectiveness of mainstream CFA information for Karen and other newly arrived refugee groups. Accordingly, this project composes a film that merges expert (CFA) knowledge with that of the Karen community: experts on their communication preferences and contexts in which fire safety and prevention issues arise.
A class of six-dimensional conformal field theories

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We describe a class of six-dimensional conformal field theories that have some properties in common with and possibly are related to a subsector of the tensionless string theories. The latter theories can for example give rise to four-dimensional $N = 4$ superconformal Yang-Mills theories upon compactification on a two-torus. Just like the tensionless string theories, our theories have an $ADE$-classification, but no other discrete or continuous parameters. The Hilbert space carries an irreducible representation of the same Heisenberg group that appears in the tensionless string theories, and the `Wilson surface' observables obey the same superselection rules. When compactified on a two-torus, they have the same behaviour under $S$-duality as super Yang-Mills theory. Our theories are natural generalizations of the two-form with self-dual field strength that is part of the world-volume theory of a single five-brane in $M$-theory, and the $A_{N - 1}$ theory can in fact be seen as arising from $N$ non-interacting chiral two-forms by factoring out the collective `center of mass' degrees of freedom.

Phonetische Transkription als folklinguistische Zeichen-Praxis im öffentlichen Raum
Creators: name: Heyd, Theresa
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Semiotik

description: Zusammenfassung. Diese Studie ist eine erste Erkundung von laienlinguistischer Nutzung phonetischer Transkription im öffentlichen Raum. Dabei handelt es sich um Gebrauchsformen, bei denen das semiotische Repertoire der Transkription – beispiels­weise phonetische Symbole und die Klammerung von Lexemen, aber auch Silben­trennung und lexikografische Textstruktur – in der digitalen oder materiellen Öffent­lichkeit in einen dekontextualisierten Zusammenhang gebracht wird. Damit verbindet sich ein intendierter Effekt, der von der etablierten visuellen Repräsentation sprachli­cher Laute abweicht. Um diesen Zusammenhang genauer zu erkunden, wurde ein Bildkorpus mit 27 Beispielen aus dem öffentlichen Raum erstellt und im Hinblick auf semiotische und soziolinguistische Variation analysiert. Es konnte eine große Band­breite an semiotischen Realisierungen nachgewiesen werden, die von komplexen For­men mit hoher Transkriptionstiefe bis hin zu minimalistischen Varianten reicht. Aus­gehend von dieser Analyse werden verschiedene soziostilistische Faktoren heraus­gearbeitet, die für die Variation eine Rolle spielen (Professionalisierungsgrad, Planungs­aufwand, Korrektheit), und es werden vier Dimensionen sozialer Bedeutung unterschie­den (Selbstreflexivität, definitorische Sprechakte, inszenierte Mündlichkeit, Erzeugung von Fallhöhe), die mit folklinguistischen Transkriptionen aktiviert werden können.

description: Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are used to solve search and optimization problems in which an optimal solution can be found using an iterative process with probabilistic and non-deterministic transitions. However, depending on the problem's nature, the time required to find a solution can be high in sequential machines due to the computational complexity of genetic algorithms. This work proposes a parallel implementation of a genetic algorithm on field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Optimization of the system's processing time is the main goal of this project. Results associated with the processing time and area occupancy (on FPGA) for various population sizes are analyzed. Studies concerning the accuracy of the GA response for the optimization of two variables functions were also evaluated for the hardware implementation. However, the high-performance implementation proposes in this paper is able to work with more variable from some adjustments on hardware architecture.

description: Zusammenfassung. Schrift im öffentlich zugänglichen Raum der Stadt ist ein wichtiger soziolinguistischer Forschungsgegenstand. Aufschriften aller Art prägen nicht nur den urbanen Raum, sondern bringen spezifische Orte erst hervor. Im Zentrum der Analyse steht die Konstruktion eines urbanen Protestraums, wie er durch sogenannte Protest­kommunikate hervorgebracht wird. Beispiel ist dabei ein Stencil, das auf den Tahrir-Platz in Kairo zu verweisen scheint, das jedoch über interspatiale, interdiskursive und inter­mediale Bezüge weit mehr leistet. Es ist Teil einer Ortsassoziation, die den urbanen Raum als Territorium des Widerspruchs beschreibbar macht. Der Beitrag leistet einer­seits eine ethnographische Detailanalyse zu einem Schriftvorkommen in Berlin Prenz­lauer Berg, er gibt darüber hinaus aber vor allem auch Hinweise auf Möglichkeiten einer soziolinguistischen und semiotischen Analyse urbaner Widerspruchsterritorien überhaupt.

description: The HST/WFC3 multiband photometry spanning from the UV to the near-IR of four fields in the Galactic bulge, together with that for six template globular and open clusters, are used to photometrically tag the metallicity [Fe/H] of stars in these fields after proper-motion rejecting most foreground disk contaminants. Color-magnitude diagrams and luminosity functions are then constructed, in particular for the most metal rich and most metal poor stars in each field. We do not find any significant difference between the $I$-band and $H$-band luminosity functions, hence turnoff luminosity and age, of the metal rich and metal poor components which therefore appear essentially coeval. In particular, we find that no more than $\sim 3\%$ of the metal-rich component can be $\sim 5$ Gyr old, or younger. Conversely, theoretical luminosity functions give a good match to the observed ones for an age of ~10 Gyr. Assuming this age is representative for the bulk of bulge stars, we then recall the observed properties of star-forming galaxies at 10 Gyr lookback time, i.e., at z~2, and speculate about bulge formation in that context. We argue that bar formation and buckling instabilities leading to the observed boxy/peanut, X-shaped bulge may have arisen late in the history of the Milky Way galaxy, once its gas fraction had decreased compared to the high values typical of high-redshift galaxies. This paper follows the public release of the photometric and astrometric catalogs for the measured stars in the four fields.

Morphological number-count and redshift distributions to I < 26 from the Hubble Deep Field: Implications for the evolution of Ellipticals, Spirals and Irregulars

description: We combine the photometric redshift data of Fernandez-Soto et al. (1997) with the morphological data of Odewahn et al. (1996) for all galaxies with I < 26.0 detected in the Hubble Deep Field. From this combined catalog we generate the morphological galaxy number-counts and corresponding redshift distributions and compare these to the predictions of high normalization zero- and passive- evolution models. From this comparison we conclude the following: (1) E/S0s are seen in numbers and over a redshift range consistent with zero- or minimal passive- evolution to I = 24. Beyond this limit fewer E/S0s are observed than predicted implying a net negative evolutionary process --- luminosity dimming, disassembly or masking by dust --- at I > 24. (2) Spiral galaxies are present in numbers consistent with zero- evolution predictions to I = 22. Beyond this magnitude some net- positive evolution is required. Although the number-counts are consistent with the passive-evolution predictions to I=26.0 the redshift distributions favor number AND luminosity evolution. (3) There is no obvious explanation for the late-type/irregular class and this category requires further subdivision. While a small fraction of the population lies at low redshift (i.e. true irregulars), the majority lie at redshifts, 1 < z < 3. At z > 1.5 mergers are frequent and, taken in conjunction with the absence of normal spirals at z > 2, the logical inference is that they represent the progenitors of normal spirals forming via hierarchical merging.
