description: Soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) is related to various soil attributes and processes. This research aimed to understand the relationship between ECa and paedogenesis, lithology and attributes. The study area is located in São Paulo State, Brazil. Soil samples were collected for physical-chemical analysis from 79 locations (0–20 cm layer). A geophysical field-portable equipment (Geonics EM38-MK2 conductivity meter) was used to measure soil ECa. For that, four toposequences were selected on landscape. Sixteen soil profiles were allocated in the landscape for soil characterization and classification. The ECa values were measured across toposequences, soil types and lithology variations, at the same 79 locations used for physico-chemical characterization. The statistical analysis and Kruskal–Wallis rank sum test and Cluster analysis by k-means and Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test was performed to verify differences in ECa values over lithology, relief and soil types. The values of ECa measurements were related to soil attributes variation. The results showed that lithology strongly affects ECa values, mainly in diabase-derived soils, followed by metamorphosed siltstone. In fluvial sediments, the ECa exhibits different behaviours. In less evolved soils, the lithology contributed more to ECa than paedogenesis, as the opposite occurs in more evolved ones. The ECa decreases downslope and correlates with lithology alteration and soil types. This study demonstrates that soil ECa can be a tool to differentiate between various soil types and lithological transitions across the landscape, supporting the soil survey and mapping at finer scales.

description: Impurities in crystalline materials introduce disorder into an otherwise ordered structure due to the formation of lattice defects and grain boundaries. The properties of the resulting polycrystal can differ remarkably from those of the ideal single crystal. Here we investigate a quasi-two-dimensional system of colloidal spheres containing a small fraction of aspherical impurities and characterise the resulting polycrystalline monolayer. We find that, in the vicinity of an impurity, the underlying hexagonal lattice is deformed due to a preference for 5-fold co-ordinated particles adjacent to impurities. This results in a reduction in local hexagonal ordering around an impurity. Increasing the concentration of impurities leads to an increase in the number of these defects and consequently a reduction in system-wide hexagonal ordering and a corresponding increase in entropy as measured from the distribution of Voronoi cell areas. Furthermore, through both considering orientational correlations and directly identifying crystalline domains we observe a decrease in the average polycrystalline grain size on increasing the concentration of impurities. Our data show that, for the concentrations considered, local structural modifications due to the presence of impurities are independent of their concentration, while structure on longer lengthscales (i.e. the size of polycrystalline grains) is determined by the impurity concentration.

description: BACKGROUND The optimal sequencing ofantiretroviral regimens for the treatment of infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is unknown. We compared several different antiretroviral treatment strategies. METHODS This multicenter, randomized, partially double-blind trial used a factorial design to compare pairs of sequential three-drug regimens, starting with a regimen including zidovudine and lamivudine or a regimen including didanosine and stavudine in combination with either nelfinavir or efavirenz. The primary end point was the length of time to the failure ofthe second three-drug regimen. RESULTS A total of 620 subjects who had not previously received antiretroviral therapy were followed for a median of 2. 3 years. Starting with a three-drug regimen containing efavirenz combined with zidovudine and lamivudine (but not efavirenz combined with didanosine and stavudine) appeared to delay the failure ofthe second regimen, as compared with starting with a regimen containing nelfinavir (hazard ratio for failure ofthe second regimen, 0.71; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.48 to 1.06), as well as to delay the second virologic failure (hazard ratio, 0.56; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.29 to 1.09), and significantly delayed the failure ofthe first regimen (hazard ratio, 0.39) and the firstvirologic failure (hazard ratio, 0.34). Starting with zidovudine and lamivudine combined with efavirenz (but not zidovudine and lamivudine combined with nelfinavir) appeared to delay the failure of the second regimen, as compared with starting with didanosine and stavudine (hazard ratio, 0.68), and significantly delayed both the first and the second virologic failures (hazard ratio for the firstvirologic failure, 0.39; hazard ratio for the second virologic failure, 0.47), as well as the failure ofthe first regimen (hazard ratio, 0.35). The initial use of zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz resulted in a shorter time to viral suppression. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy ofantiretroviral drugs depends on how they are combined. The combination of zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz is superior to the other antiretroviral regimens used as initial therapy in this study.

description: Glacier surface velocity is an important variable for glacier dynamics studies. Estimation of accurate surface velocity from remote sensing is a challenge, especially for glaciers with no in-situ observations. To overcome this challenge, a new method for glacier feature tracking named as Spatially varying WIndow based maximum likelihood Feature Tracking (SWIFT) has been proposed. This method utilizes both optical data (to automatically determine the window size [WS] using the concept of Object Based Image Analysis [OBIA]) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data (to perform feature tracking). The proposed method uses a spatially varying WS unlike other existing softwares that cannot provide the flexibility of a spatially varying WS. The proposed method has been tested and validated at three different glaciers (South Glacier [SG], Canada; Chhota Shigri Glacier [CSG], India; and Tasman Glacier [TG], New Zealand) for which field measured data were available. The obtained results for all three glaciers showed consistent improvement in estimated velocity by SWIFT when compared with spatially fixed WS-based estimates from normalized cross correlation-based Correlation Image Analysis Software (CIAS). Considering the data availability, the proposed SWIFT method has been implemented using a variety of SAR and optical satellite data to understand its performance/effectiveness for glacier surface velocity estimation. When validated against field measurements, the results from SWIFT gave an RMSE of 12.8 m/years, 15.32 m/years and 67.1 m/years for SG, CSG and TG, respectively. Moreover, the RMSE of SWIFT estimates were observed to have an RMSE that was 19–36% lower than the best performing spatially fixed WS.

The inner dust rim of protoplanetary disks as probed by GRAVITY

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Understanding the observed diversity of planetary systems requires to better probe the initial conditions of their formation, which are intrinsically linked to the physical conditions at play in protoplanetary disks. The nature and the interplay of the different processes as accretion flows, winds, dust grain coagulation within the innermost central regions (< 5 au) are still poorly constrained. Only optical long-baseline interferometry can bring spatially resolved constraints on this region and on the mechanisms that shape it. As an illustration, the broad H-band interferometric observations of the PIONIER Large Program of about 50 Herbig AeBe stars have shown that the sublimation front is generally rather smooth, wide, in agreement with the presence of multiple dust grain populations, and that its thickness is larger than predicted by hydrostatic models. The GRAVITY YSO Large Program based on GTO time aims at completing this statistical study by probing the inner disk thermal emission in the K band, in a systematic and homogeneous approach. In this talk we will present the first results obtained by analyzing the continuum observations of a sample of about 20 HAEBEs and T Tauris.

description: The ever-growing market of consumer electronics has been driving surging demand for higher-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Since cathode materials primarily dictate the energy density and cost, extensive investigations have been devoted to exploring advanced cathodes for high-performance LIBs. High-nickel layered oxides LiNi [subscript x] M [subscript 1-x] O₂ (x ≥ 0.6, M = Co, Mn, etc.) are one of the most promising candidates and are being extensively pursued. Unfortunately, the practical applicability of high-Ni cathodes is seriously hampered by their poor cyclability, alarming susceptibility to thermal abuse, and decreased air-stability. This dissertation focuses on enhancing the stability of high-Ni cathodes with diverse strategies and advancing the scientific comprehension of high-Ni cathode materials. First, the effect of pillaring Mg-ion doping in the high-Ni cathode LiNi₀.₉₄Co₀.₀₆O₂ is investigated. The incorporation of Mg greatly suppresses the anisotropic lattice collapse and maintains the integrity of cathode particles upon high-voltage cycling, significantly enhancing the cyclability. More importantly, the thermal stability of high-Ni cathodes is notably improved by Mg doping. Second, boron-based polyanion is employed to tune high-Ni cathodes. The introduction of boron-based polyanion enables a well-passivated boron/phosphorus-rich cathode-electrolyte interphase, which alleviates electrolyte corrosion on high-Ni cathodes and thus improves the cyclability. Meanwhile, the boron-based polyanion improves the air stability of high-Ni cathodes as well. Third, a well-designed phosphoric acid treatment approach is presented to modify the high-Ni cathode LiNi₀.₉₄Co₀.₀₆O₂. The implemented treatment not only reduces the detrimental surface residual lithium, but also remarkably improves the electrochemical performance and long-term air-storage stability. Via a range of advanced analytical techniques, the underlying mechanisms involved on the improved performance are disclosed from interphasial and structural perspectives at the nanoscale. Finally, a comparative study is performed to unveil the stabilities of LiNi [subscript 1-x-y] Mn [subscript x] Co [subscript y] O₂ (NMC) cathodes with different Ni contents at identical degrees of delithiation. The overall stabilities of two representative cathodes, LiNi₀.₈Mn₀.₁Co₀.₁O₂ and LiNiO₂, are evaluated with a rigorous control of an identical 70 mol % delithiation. The results suggest that NMC cathodes with higher-Ni contents may have better overall stability than low-Ni NMC cathodes at a given degree of delithiation, disparate from the prevailing belief that high-Ni cathodes with higher-Ni content have inherently reduced stabilities

description: The Majorana's stellar representation, which represents the evolution of a quantum state with the trajectories of the Majorana stars on a Bloch sphere, provides an intuitive way to study a physical system with high dimensional projective Hilbert space. In this Letter, we study the Berry phase by these stars and their loops on the Bloch sphere. It is shown that the Berry phase of a general spin state can be expressed by an elegant formula with the solid angles of Majorana star loops. Furthermore, these results can be naturally used to a general state with arbitrary dimensions. To demonstrate our theory, we study a two mode interacting boson system. Finally, the relation between stars' correlations and quantum entanglement is discussed.

description: Hopfield networks are a variant of associative memory that recall information stored in the couplings of an Ising model. Stored memories are fixed points for the network dynamics that correspond to energetic minima of the spin state. We formulate the recall of memories stored in a Hopfield network using energy minimization by adiabatic quantum optimization (AQO). Numerical simulations of the quantum dynamics allow us to quantify the AQO recall accuracy with respect to the number of stored memories and the noise in the input key. We also investigate AQO performance with respect to how memories are stored in the Ising model using different learning rules. Our results indicate that AQO performance varies strongly with learning rule due to the changes in the energy landscape. Consequently, learning rules offer indirect methods for investigating change to the computational complexity of the recall task and the computational efficiency of AQO.

description: In multiple antenna systems, phase noise due to instabilities of the radio-frequency (RF) oscillators, acts differently depending on whether the RF circuitries connected to each antenna are driven by separate (independent) local oscillators (SLO) or by a common local oscillator (CLO). In this paper, we investigate the high-SNR capacity of single-input multiple-output (SIMO) and multiple-output single-input (MISO) phase-noise channels for both the CLO and the SLO configurations. Our results show that the first-order term in the high-SNR capacity expansion is the same for all scenarios (SIMO/MISO and SLO/CLO), and equal to $0.5\ln (ρ)$, where $ρ$ stands for the SNR. On the contrary, the second-order term, which we refer to as phase-noise number, turns out to be scenario-dependent. For the SIMO case, the SLO configuration provides a diversity gain, resulting in a larger phase-noise number than for the CLO configuration. For the case of Wiener phase noise, a diversity gain of at least $0.5 \ln(M)$ can be achieved, where $M$ is the number of receive antennas. For the MISO, the CLO configuration yields a higher phase-noise number than the SLO configuration. This is because with the CLO configuration one can obtain a coherent-combining gain through maximum ratio transmission (a.k.a. conjugate beamforming). This gain is unattainable with the SLO configuration.

description: Gravity mediation supersymmetry breaking become comparable to gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking contributions when messenger masses are close to the GUT scale. By suitably tuning the gravity contributions one can then modify the soft supersymmetry breaking sector to generate a large stop mixing parameter and a light higgs mass of 125 GeV. In this kind of hybrid models, however the nice features of gauge mediation like flavour conservation etc, are lost. To preserve the nice features, gravitational contributions should become important for lighter messenger masses and should be important only for certain fields. This is possible when the hidden sector contains multiple (at least two) spurions with hierarchical vaccum expectation values. In this case, the gravitational contribtutions can be organised to be `just right'. We present a complete model with two spurion hidden sector where the gravitational contribution is from a warped flavour model in a Randall-Sundrum setting. Along the way, we present simple expressions to handle renormalisation group equations when supersymmetry is broken by two different sectors at two different scales.

The dispersal of planet-forming discs. A new generation of X-ray photoevaporation models.
Creators: name: Picogna, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The modality of disc dispersal is thought to be of fundamental importance to planet formation, yet the responsible mechanism is still largely unconstrained. Photoevaporation from the central star is currently a promising avenue to investigate, but the models developed to date do not yet have enough predictive power for a piecewise comparison with the observations. We focus on creating new and improved hydrodynamical models of wind profiles from stellar irradiation at different wavelengths (EUV, X-rays) in order to have better constraints for current and future observations. We provide several fits of the total mass-loss rate as a function of star's X-ray luminosity, stellar mass, and carbon depletion, which can be used as simple prescriptions in population synthesis models of planet formation, as well as to produce line profiles within the wind for different disc inclinations. We find that the total mass-loss rate is increased by a factor 2 with respect to the previous models and the X-ray photoevaporation can explain a larger fraction of observed transition discs. Although these differences are small, they can significantly impact planet formation and their architecture.

description: A grand unified field $\mathcal{M}^{μν}$ is constructed from Maxwell's Field tensor and appropriately modified flow field, both non-minimally coupled to gravity, to analyze the dynamics of hot charged fluids in curved background space-time. With a suitable $3+1$ decomposition, this new formalism of the hot fluid is then applied to investigate the vortical dynamics of the system. Finally, the equilibrium state for plasma with non-linear coupling through Ricci scalar $R$ to gravity is investigated to derive a double Beltrami equation in curved space-time.

description: The spatiotemporal dynamic of rainfall erosivity is essential for environmental studies and guidance to control erosion. The purpose of this study is to assess rainfall erosivity (monthly and annual), testing machine learning algorithms aided by a covariate bank for spatial prediction of rainfall erosivity in Southeastern Brazil. The modeling tested Random Forest-RF, Cubist, Support Vector Machine, Earth, and Linear Model, associated with 154 covariates (topographic, climatic, and vegetation data). However, we apply the cut-off correlation function (findcorrelation) and feature selection algorithm (Recursive Feature Elimination—RFE) to select strong covariates. Our results show that the RF algorithm was more efficient in modeling (R2 values between 0.29 and 0.82), whit the best metrics in the low rainfall period (winter). The modeling showed fluidity by selecting only 43 significant covariates due to the findcorrelation and RFE functions. The most important and frequent covariates in spatial modeling were coordinates, water deficit, topographical, and climatic data. In general, the spatial results show that the dynamics of rainfall erosivity is strongly affected by factors of air mass circulation, relief, and geographic position. Our approach is promising as it is a method capable of estimating rainfall erosivity in unsampled areas, capturing information from significant spatial covariates.
Disc evolution processes: how they affect the inner disc
Creators: name: Rosotti, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Most planets discovered by Kepler are super-Earths with small gaseous atmospheres, showing that they formed in a gas-rich environment. In this review I will discuss the three main processes affecting the gas in the inner disc: accretion, photo-evaporation, and the formation of giant planets. In the conventional view of proto-planetary discs, the inner disc is "fed" by the outer disc where most of the mass resides and its evolution is intimately linked to the overall evolution of the disc. Alternatively, large mass reservoirs close to the star are required, predicting much higher densities for the formation environment of the Kepler-discovered planets. I will discuss the current observational constraints on this topic, provided by combining different indicators tracing the inner (accretion onto the star) and outer (ALMA observations) disc for large samples of stars. The two main candidates for the accretion mechanism are angular momentum transport by viscosity and angular momentum removal by winds. I will discuss how the properties of the inner disc change depending on which dominates, with important implications for the location of the water snow-line and planetary migration. The inner disc is also subject to the photo-evaporative wind. With time, this depletes the inner disc of material (forming a so-called transition disc), ultimately setting the timescale available for super-Earths to assemble their gaseous atmospheres. The last piece in the puzzle to describe the evolution of the inner disc is giant planet formation. Giant planets affect how much mass gets in the inner disc by cutting the supply of material to the inner disc, in this way hastening the dispersal of the inner disc; in turn their migration is affected by how much material is left in the disc.

description: Städtisches Wachstum und damit einhergehende Dichte fordert die Stadtplanung zu neuen Herangehensweisen auf, um die Stadt noch anpassungsfähiger und flexibler zu machen. Trotz knapper Bodenressourcen im innerstädtischen Raum gibt es aufgrund eines sehr dynamischen Immobilienmarktes, der sich durch Hoch- und Tiefphasen auszeichnet, leerstehende Flächen innerhalb der Stadt, die oft über Jahre leer stehen, da hier beispielsweise auf eine Baugenehmigung gewartet wird oder das Objekt Spekulationszwecken dient. Innerhalb Wiens, wo ein starkes Bevölkerungswachstum von über 15% bis zum Jahr 2038 erwartet wird, wird es immer schwieriger zusätzliche Freifläche im Stadtinneren zu generieren, weshalb temporäre Lösungen in Form von Baulückenzwischennutzung Abhilfe schaffen könnten. Der rechtliche Rahmen in Wien ist auf Langfristigkeit ausgelegt ist, was die Umsetzung von Zwischennutzungsprojekten schwierig bis unmöglich werden lässt. Im Zuge dieser Arbeit werden die wesentlichen Funktionen von Baulücken im Kontext einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung untersucht und Maßnahmen und Strategien von der Stadt Wien, sowie der Eigentümer identifiziert. Gleichzeitig werden Barrieren beleuchtet, die die Praxis erschweren. Dazu wird eine Baulückenerhebung in zwei Wiener Bezirken durchgeführt, da es keinen aktuellen Baulückenkataster gibt, was einen Überblick über vorhandene Bodenressourcen geben soll.
description: Vienna is a growing city with currently 1.9 million inhabitants. It is being expected that the city will grow around 15,5% until the year 2038, which means it will be home to around 289.000 people more by then. This leads to new challenges for the city of Vienna and its city planners. Growing numbers of citizens mean growing density because internal development of cities, rather than new use of areas, is one of the main concepts when developing cities nowadays. Still, because of a very dynamic real estate market situation, there is unused vacant land within the city that e.g., is on the one hand, part of speculative behaviour and on the other hand waiting to be developed. Often bureaucratic processes take a long time which results in land- resources “waiting” for years. Temporary use of land could be a solution to a more efficient land use, as well as a growing problem of too dense spaces for inhabitants. The present master thesis is researching strategies and concepts that are being followed and implemented by the city of Vienna and the involved actors through interviews. It includes a stocktaking of current vacant lots in two dense areas at the westside of Vienna, because there are no existing any data about it. The aim of this work is to show the current interest and actions of the city of Vienna and its involved parties, as well as barriers in the implementation. In the end there are possible recommendations for actions to implement this topic as part of the city development strategy, as well as making it easier for different involved parties to implement these kinds of projects.

Resolving dusty wind of RW Aur A
Creators: name: Safonov, Boris
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: RW Aur is a young star with protoplanetary disk. The star shows irregular eclipses similar to UXORs, but with larger amplitude and duration. It also demonstrates extraordinary high polarization degree in minimum light. These features may be explained by emergence of dusty wind in 2010 (Dodin et al 2018, submitted). We observed the object using speckle polarimetry in 0.5-0.8 mkm range using a dedicated instrument installed at 2.5-m telescope of SAI MSU. The instrument combines features of speckle interferometer and two-beam polarimeter. We detected a fan-shaped reflection nebula on the angular scale 50-100 mas in the closest vicinity of the RW Aur A. The parameters of this nebulosity are consistent with suggestion that it is actually dust expelled from protoplanetary disk by the wind.

description: Jets and outflows from YSO and AGNs affect their environment, and, thus, the formation process of the objects that are launching them. Numerous studies investigate effects of such feedback mechanisms in star and planet formation and galaxy formation. However, a quantitative investigation of how much mass, momentum, or energy from the infall is actually recycled into a high-speed outflow needs to resolve the innermost jet-launching region and to model the physical process of launching directly. According to the current understanding, accretion and ejection are related to each other. One efficient way to remove angular momentum from a disk is to connect it to a magnetized outflow. In this talk, I will present the recent studies of the detailed physics of accretion-ejection structure in the inner part of the disk focusing on launching process of an outflow from a magnetically diffusive accretion disk The main question we address is which kind of disks launch jets and which kind of disks do not? in addition, I will talk about the observed non-axisymmetric structures in the disk-jet structure by extending the model to 3 dimensions and including the companion in the setup.

The presence of the longitudinal dipole-dipole interaction does not enable the superradiant phase transition, if the transverse and longitudinal fields are decoupled. Although the full dipole-dipole interaction can be eliminated in the electric-dipole gauge in the absence of overlap between individual atomic dipoles, we cannot reduce the Hamiltonian to the Dicke one, because the elimination is justified only if all the transverse and longitudinal fields remain. Even if the transverse and longitudinal fields are mixed in spatially inhomogeneous systems, the normal ground state is still stable if the system does not show the superradiant phase transition in the homogeneous case.

description: Soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) is related to various soil attributes and processes. This research aimed to understand the relationship between ECa and paedogenesis, lithology and attributes. The study area is located in São Paulo State, Brazil. Soil samples were collected for physical-chemical analysis from 79 locations (0–20 cm layer). A geophysical field-portable equipment (Geonics EM38-MK2 conductivity meter) was used to measure soil ECa. For that, four toposequences were selected on landscape. Sixteen soil profiles were allocated in the landscape for soil characterization and classification. The ECa values were measured across toposequences, soil types and lithology variations, at the same 79 locations used for physico-chemical characterization. The statistical analysis and Kruskal–Wallis rank sum test and Cluster analysis by k-means and Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test was performed to verify differences in ECa values over lithology, relief and soil types. The values of ECa measurements were related to soil attributes variation. The results showed that lithology strongly affects ECa values, mainly in diabase-derived soils, followed by metamorphosed siltstone. In fluvial sediments, the ECa exhibits different behaviours. In less evolved soils, the lithology contributed more to ECa than paedogenesis, as the opposite occurs in more evolved ones. The ECa decreases downslope and correlates with lithology alteration and soil types. This study demonstrates that soil ECa can be a tool to differentiate between various soil types and lithological transitions across the landscape, supporting the soil survey and mapping at finer scales.
An arithmetical approach to the convergence problem of series of dilated functions and its connection with the Riemann Zeta function

description: Given a periodic function $f$, we study the convergence almost everywhere and in norm of the series $\sum_{k} c_k f(kx)$. Let $f(x)= \sum_{m=1}^\infty a_m \sin {2πm x}$ where $\sum_{m=1}^\infty a_{m }^2d(m) 1/2$, by only using elementary Dirichlet convolution calculus, we show that for $0< \e\le 2s-1$, $ζ(2s)^{-1} \|\sum_{k\in K} c_k f^s_k \|_2^2 \le \frac{1+\e}{\e } (\sum_{k \in K} |c_k|^2 \s_{ 1+\e-2s}(k) )$, where $\s_h(n)=\sum_{d|n}d^h$. From this we deduce that if $f\in {\rm BV}(\T)$, $\langle f,1\rangle=0$ and $$\sum_{k} c_k^2\frac{(\log\log k)^4}{(\log\log \log k)^2} 4$. We further show that the same conclusion holds under the arithmetical condition $$\sum_{ k } c_k^2 (\log\log k)^{2 + b} \s_{ -1+\frac{1}{(\log\log k)^{ b/3}} }(k) 0$, or if $ \sum_{ k} c_k^2 d(k^2) (\log\log k)^2

What Drives Accretion in Protoplanetary Disks?
Creators: name: Simon, Jake
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: It is still uncertain what exactly is responsible for driving angular momentum transport in protoplanetary disks, thus setting the environment in which planets are born. This transport may find its origin in turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI), magnetically driven winds that remove angular momentum vertically, or some combination of both. In this talk, I will describe how ALMA observations of the outer disk, coupled with state-of-the-art numerical simulations, are constraining accretion processes in the inner disk regions. In particular, I will show that in the outer disk, both weak magnetic fields and very low ionization levels are necessary in order to be consistent with low turbulence values inferred from observations. These considerations have led to a new model for protoplanetary disks, in which a large-scale vertical magnetic field confined to the inner disk blocks ionizing radiation from reaching the outer disk, while allowing the inner disk to continually accrete. I will finish the talk by describing several powerful predictions made by this new model that can be tested with future observations of the inner regions of protoplanetary disks.

description: Mutually connected components (MCCs) play an important role as a measure of resilience in the study of interdependent networks. Despite their importance, an efficient algorithm to obtain the statistics of all MCCs during the removal of links has thus far been absent. Here, using a well-known fully dynamic graph algorithm, we propose an efficient algorithm to accomplish this task. We show that the time complexity of this algorithm is approximately $O({N^{1.2} })$ for random graphs, which is more efficient than $O(N^{2})$ of the brute-force algorithm. We confirm the correctness of our algorithm by comparing the behavior of the order parameter as links are removed with existing results for three types of double-layer multiplex networks. We anticipate that this algorithm will be used for simulations of large-size systems that have been previously inaccessible.

We investigated whether intensive therapy to target normal glycated hemoglobin levels would reduce cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes who had either established cardiovascular disease or additional cardiovascular risk factors.
title: "Der Lagerspiegel" des britischen Internierungslagers "Camp 373" in Wolfsberg
Creators: name: Ströbl, Lorenz

description: Die Analyse der selbst herausgebrachten Lagerzeitschrift „Der Lagerspiegel“ von ehemaligen Nationalsozialisten und Funktionären des NS-Regimes, die in einem Lager der Westalliierten in Wolfsberg interniert waren, soll mögliche Aussagen über ihren Lageralltag und die infrastrukturellen sowie zwischenmenschlichen Strukturen lukrieren. Der Fokus soll dabei nicht auf der Lagerpolitik der Alliierten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in Österreich liegen. Dieser sogenannte „Lageralltag“ ist hierbei als eine Art Sammelbegriff zu verstehen, welcher etwa die täglichen Aufgaben im Lager, das Freizeitprogramm, die Versorgung mit Medikamenten, die Verpflegung mit Nahrungsmitteln und die Hygiene Bedingungen umschreibt. In wie weit lassen sich diese Bereiche aus einer Zeitung extrahieren, welche mit bestimmter Intention herausgegeben worden ist? Kann überhaupt etwas verwertbares ermittelt werden? Wie viel Aussagekraft ist dem Fehlen eines bestimmten Bereiches zu zuordnen? Lassen sich Antworten auf die Frage nach dem Denken und den Vorstellungen der Insassen finden? Für diese Untersuchung wurde die Methode der Diskursanalyse nach Jäger gewählt. Damit konnten alle untersuchten Aspekte (Sprache, Bilder, Symbole) ihrer Analyse unterzogen werden. Zusammenfassend ist zu sagen, dass die Internierten die Zeitschrift nicht aus altruistischen Motiven herausgegeben hatten, sondern der Impetus hier eindeutig ein egoistischer war. Das Ziel war es, die Stimmung innerhalb der Bevölkerung und des Wachpersonals zu ihren Gunsten zu beeinflussen, indem sie ihr Handeln bagatellisierten, um auf diesem Weg Druck ihre Freilassung betreffend auf die Besatzer auszuüben. Zeitgleich wurden stringent jegliche Schuld und Mittäterschaft negiert, indem sie keine Erwähnung fanden und man sich selbst heroisiert sowie über die eigene Situation echauffierte um so den anderen seinen Willen aufzuoktroyieren.

description: At the core of this article is an improved, sharp dispersive estimate for the anisotropic linear semigroup $e^{R_1 t}$ arising in both the study of the dispersive SQG equation and the inviscid Boussinesq system. We combine the decay estimate with a blow-up criterion to show how dispersion leads to long-time existence of solutions to the dispersive SQG equation, improving the results obtained using hyperbolic methods. In the setting of the inviscid Boussinesq system it turns out that linearization around a specific stationary solution leads to the same linear semigroup, so that we can make use of analogous techniques to obtain stability of the stationary solution for an increased timespan.
