description: Although crystal engineering strategies are generally well explored in the context of multicomponent crystals (cocrystals) formed by neutral coformers (molecular cocrystals), cocrystals comprised of one or more salts (ionic cocrystals, ICCs) are understudied. We herein address the design, preparation, and structural characterization of ICCs formed by phenolic moieties, a common group in natural products and drug molecules. Organic and inorganic bases were reacted with the following phenolic coformers: phenol, resorcinol, phloroglucinol, 4-methoxyphenol, and 4-isopropylphenol. Nine ICCs were crystallized, each of them sustained by the phenol–phenolate supramolecular heterosynthon (PhOH···PhO–). Such ICCs are of potential utility, and there are numerous examples of phenolic compounds that are biologically active, some of which suffer from low aqueous solubility. The propensity to form ICCs sustained by the PhOH···PhO– supramolecular heterosynthon was evaluated through a combination of Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) mining, structural characterization of nine novel ICCs, and calculation of interaction energies. Our analysis of these 9 ICCs and the 41 relevant entries archived in the CSD revealed that phenol groups can reliably form ICCs through charge-assisted PhOH···PhO– interactions. This conclusion is supported by hydrogen-bond strength calculations derived from CrystalExplorer that reveal the PhOH···PhO– interaction to be around 3 times stronger than the phenol–phenol hydrogen bond. The PhOH···PhO– supramolecular heterosynthon could therefore enable crystal engineering studies of a large number of phenolic pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compounds with their conjugate bases.
Bad Fat Black Femmes: Navigating the Nexus Between Fatphobia and Racialized Gender

description:
In this article, I contextualize the intersecting nature of fatphobia, anti-Blackness, and misogyny to provide a lens through which readers can analyze the matriarchal character Delores from Nicole Dennis-Benn’s (2016) Here Comes the Sun. Delores, the novel’s protagonist, is a darkskinned, fat, Black, working-class mother of two whose agency is limited by fatphobia, colorism, and capitalism. Yet she is almost single-handedly blamed for her actions without any acknowledgment of how those systems of oppression hinder her from having the privilege of true free will. Instead, I offer a counternarrative reading of Delores’s “bad” behavior that views it as both a controversial practice of agency and a learned survival strategy she adopted after coming to understand the cruelty and indifference she is subjected to in her community. This alternative reading of Delores’s behavior as self-regard will hopefully provoke considerations about the role that poorly executed collectivism plays in driving multiply oppressed people, particularly fat Black women, to become both victims and agents of harm.

description: Transboundary atmospheric pollution (TAP) has emerged over the last three decades as a major challenge to countries in Southeast Asia (SEA). A limited understanding of the link between pollution emissions and their presence and effects in receiving locations (or the source-receptor relationship), in such a dynamic region covering a huge geographical area, poses a major obstacle to resolving the multitude of challenges relating to TAP in SEA. Focusing on SEA, this paper reviews the approaches used in collecting atmospheric pollution data and determining TAP. Suggestions as to how the situation may be improved are provided. Future research directions are also highlighted.

description: Leaf Area Index (LAI) is commonly defined as the total area of a leaf per unit area of the ground. LAI is an important variable for characterizing plant canopy related to the interception of solar radiation. Direct measurement of LAI by destructive sampling is tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. With the advance of remote sensing, studies have explored multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing image data and LiDAR point clouds as individual sources to estimate LAI indirectly. This study investigates the estimation of LAI for maize row crops over the growing season based on features derived from high resolution LiDAR and hyperspectral data acquired simultaneously from a UAV platform. Support Vector Regression (SVR) models are developed using cross validation and evaluated relative to the contribution of the multi-modality remote sensing data. The study is based on data acquired for experiments in plant breeding and evaluation of nitrogen management practice trials conducted at the Agronomy Center for Research and Education (ACRE) in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Reference data for the models were collected using a LI-COR® LAI-2200-C Plant Canopy Analyzer. Including both LiDAR and hyperspectral data sources in the SVR model improved the 𝑅_ref^2 (relative to 1:1 comparison line), RMSE and Relative RMSE (rRMSE) values for both the plant breeding and nitrogen management practice experiments, although incremental gains were small overall. More importantly, it was observed that the contributions of the LiDAR vs hyperspectral inputs to the models also varied throughout the growing season.

description: In this Letter we demonstrate that Permalloy (Py), a widely used Ni/Fe alloy, forms contacts to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that meet the requirements for the injection and detection of spin-polarized currents in carbon-based spintronic devices. We establish the material quality and magnetization properties of Py strips in the shape of suitable electrical contacts and find a sharp magnetization switching tunable by geometry in the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of a single strip at cryogenic temperatures. In addition, we show that Py contacts couple strongly to CNTs, comparable to Pd contacts, thereby forming CNT quantum dots at low temperatures. These results form the basis for a Py-based CNT spin-valve exhibiting very sharp resistance switchings in the tunneling magnetoresistance, which directly correspond to the magnetization reversals in the individual contacts observed in AMR experiments.

description: We analyze the submillimeter emission surrounding the new FU Orionis-type object, HBC 722. We present the first epoch of observations of the active environs of HBC 722, with imaging and spectroscopy from PACS, SPIRE, and HIFI aboard the Herschel Space Observatory, as well as CO J= 2-1 and 350 um imaging (SHARC-II) with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The primary source of submillimeter continuum emission in the region -- 2MASS 20581767+4353310 -- is located 16$\arcsec$ south-southeast of the optical flaring source while the optical and near-IR emission is dominated by HBC 722. A bipolar outflow extends over HBC 722; the most likely driver is the submillimeter source. We detect warm (100 K) and hot (246 K) CO emission in the surrounding region, evidence of outflow-driven heating in the vicinity. The region around HBC 722 itself shows little evidence of heating driven by the new outbursting source itself.

description: The purpose of this work is to calculate the vibrational modes of an elastically anisotropic sphere embedded in an isotropic matrix. This has important application to understanding the spectra of low-frequency Raman scattering from nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix. First some low frequency vibrational modes of a free cubically elastic sphere are found to be nearly independent of one combination of elastic constants. This is then exploited to obtain an isotropic approximation for these modes which enables to take into account the surrounding isotropic matrix. This method is then used to quantatively explain recent spectra of gold and copper nanocrystals in glasses.

description:
As the nation’s first rural community health center, the Delta Health Center broke new ground for healthcare delivery in the United States. Established in the majority Black town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi in 1965, the center not only had to reconcile itself to the ramifications of medical racism but also capitalize on the momentum and optimism born from the Civil Rights Movement. The center exemplified public health standards by treating both medical conditions and lifestyle factors contributing to unfavorable health outcomes, such as inadequate nutrition, unreliable housing, and unemployment. In contrast to the preexisting healthcare available to women in the region, the Delta Health Center provided reproductive and obstetric care to Black women at a standard that improved health outcomes for both mother and infant, and empowered them to take control of their reproductive care by introducing breastfeeding techniques and contraceptives. Community members’ involvement (particularly that of Black women) in disseminating care to the community made the Delta Health Center’s mission a success.

description: Prolonged presence of viral nucleic acid was reported in certain patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with unclear clinical and epidemiological significance. We here described the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of 37 recovered COVID-19 patients with prolonged presence of viral RNA in Wuhan, China. For those who had been discharged and re-admitted, their close contacts outside the hospital were traced and evaluated. The median age of the 37 patients was 62 years (IQR 50, 68), and 24 (64.9%) were men. They had common or severe COVID-19. With prolonged positive RT-PCR, most patients were clinically stable, 29 (78.4%) denied any symptoms. A total of 431 PCR tests were carried out, with each patient at a median of 8 time points. The median time of PCR positivity to April 18 was 78 days (IQR 67.7, 84.5), and the longest 120 days. 22 of 37 patients had been discharged at a median of 44 days (IQR 22.3, 50) from disease onset, and 9 had lived with their families without personal protections for a total of 258 person-days and no secondary infection was identified through epidemiological investigation, nucleic acid and antibody screening. Infectiousness in COVID-19 patients with prolonged presence of viral nucleic acid should not solely be evaluated by RT–PCR. Those patients who have clinically recovered and whose disease course has exceeded four weeks were associated with very limited infectiousness. Reconsideration of disease control in such patients is needed.
Reinforcement learning in non-stationary games

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The unifying theme of this thesis is the design and analysis of adaptive procedures that are aimed at learning the optimal decision in the presence of uncertainty. The first part is devoted to strategic decision making involving multiple individuals with conflicting interests. This is the subject of non-cooperative game theory. The proliferation of social networks has led to new ways of sharing information. Individuals subscribe to social groups, in which their experiences are shared. This new information patterns facilitate the resolution of uncertainties. We present an adaptive learning algorithm that exploits these new patterns. Despite its deceptive simplicity, if followed by all individuals, the emergent global behavior resembles that obtained from fully rational considerations, namely, correlated equilibrium. Further, it responds to the random unpredictable changes in the environment by properly tracking the evolving correlated equilibria set. Numerical evaluations verify these new information patterns can lead to improved adaptability of individuals and, hence, faster convergence to correlated equilibrium. Motivated by the self-configuration feature of the game-theoretic design and the prevalence of wireless-enabled electronics, the proposed adaptive learning procedure is then employed to devise an energy-aware activation mechanism for wireless-enabled sensors which are assigned a parameter estimation task. The proposed game-theoretic model trades-off sensors' contribution to the estimation task and the associated energy costs. The second part considers the problem of a single decision maker who seeks the optimal choice in the presence of uncertainty. This problem is mathematically formulated as a discrete stochastic optimization. In many real-life systems, due to the unexplained randomness and complexity involved, there typically exists no explicit relation between the performance measure of interest and the decision variables. In such cases, computer simulations are used as models of real systems to evaluate output responses. We present two simulation-based adaptive search schemes and show that, by following these schemes, the global optimum can be properly tracked as it undergoes random unpredictable jumps over time. Further, most of the simulation effort is exhausted on the global optimizer. Numerical evaluations verify faster convergence and improved efficiency as compared with existing random search, simulated annealing, and upper confidence bound methods.

description: Steganography is the process of hiding secret information by embedding it in an "innocent" message. We present protocols for hiding quantum information in a codeword of a quantum error-correcting code passing through a channel. Using either a shared classical secret key or shared entanglement the sender (Alice) disguises her information as errors in the channel. The receiver (Bob) can retrieve the hidden information, but an eavesdropper (Eve) with the power to monitor the channel, but without the secret key, cannot distinguish the message from channel noise. We analyze how difficult it is for Eve to detect the presence of secret messages, and estimate rates of steganographic communication and secret key consumption for certain protocols.

description: In this paper we report on internal conversion coefficients for Z = 111 to Z = 126 superheavy elements obtained from relativistic Dirac-Fock (DF) calculations. The effect of the atomic vacancy created during the conversion process has been taken into account using the so called "Frozen Orbital" approximation. The selection of this atomic model is supported by our recent comparison of experimental and theoretical conversion coefficients across a wide range of nuclei. The atomic masses, valence shell electron configurations, and theoretical atomic binding energies required for the calculations were adopted from a critical evaluation of the published data. The new conversion coefficient data tables presented here cover all atomic shells, transition energies from 1 keV up to 6000 keV, and multipole orders of 1 to 5. A similar approach was used in our previous calculations [1] for Z = 5 - 110.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2025

description:
This article explores the domestic and foreign policy issues  surrounding the island of Dominica, a small island state in the Lesser Antilles region of the Caribbean. Seated in the path of hurricanes and in the shadow of the United States’ and Europe’s Global South influence, and neighboring more inviting destination islands, Dominica faces economic troubles in the realms of tourism, agriculture, and infrastructure. These concerns are reinforced by a constant stream of natural disasters—most notably that of Hurricane Maria and Tropical Storm Erika. The country has taken control of its development pathway through controversial legislative programs and partnerships, along with an ever-deepening cross-sector relationship with China. By leveraging its small state status in innovative ways, the island has aimed to flip its vulnerabilities into strengths, to varying levels of success on the governmental and individual levels.

description: We propose a novel way to search for feebly interacting massive particles, exploiting two propertiesof systems involving collisions between high energy electrons and intense laser pulses. The firstproperty is that the electron-intense-laser collision results in a large flux of hard photons, as thelaser behaves effectively as a thick medium. The second property is that the emitted photonsfree-stream inside the laser and thus for them the laser behaves effectively as a very thin medium.Combining these two features implies that the electron-intense-laser collision is an apparatus whichcan efficiently convert UV electrons to a large flux of hard, co-linear photons. We further propose todirect this unique large and hard flux of photons onto a physical dump which in turn is capable ofproducing feebly interacting massive particles, in a region of parameters that has never been probedbefore. We denote this novel apparatus as “optical dump” or NPOD (new physics search withoptical dump). The proposed LUXE experiment at Eu.XFEL has all the required basic ingredientsof the above experimental concept. We discuss how this concept can be realized in practice byadding a detector after the last physical dump of the experiment to reconstruct the two-photondecay product of a new spin-0 particle. We show that even with a relatively short dump, the searchcan still be background free. Remarkably, even with a 40TW laser, which corresponds to the initialrun, and definitely with a 350TW laser, of the main run with one year of data taking, LUXE-NPODwill be able to probe uncharted territory of both models of pseudo-scalar and scalar fields, and inparticular probe natural of scalar theories for masses above 100MeV.

description: We introduce a novel composite Higgs theory based on confining supersymmetric QCD. Supersymmetric duality plays a key role in this construction, with a "fat" Higgs boson emerging as a dual magnetic degree of freedom charged under the dual magnetic gauge group. Due to spontaneous color-flavor locking in the infrared, the electroweak gauge symmetry is aligned with the dual magnetic gauge group, allowing large Yukawa couplings between elementary matter fields and the composite Higgs. At the same time, this theory exhibits metastable supersymmetry breaking, leading to low-scale gauge mediation via composite messengers. The Higgs boson is heavier than in minimal supersymmetric theories, due to non-decoupling D-terms and a large F-term quartic coupling. This theory predicts quasi-stable TeV-scale pseudo-modulini, some of which are charged under standard model color, possibly giving rise to long-lived R-hadrons at the LHC.

Each sport has a unique moral culture
Creators: name: Pinsky, John Daniel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Although sports are popular in North America, only a small research base examines the moral cultures of different sports. In this study, it was hypothesized that different sports have distinct moral cultures, that contact sports emphasize the care versus harm foundation from Moral Foundations Theory more than noncontact sports, and that contact sports emphasize morality more than noncontact sports in general. To investigate these questions, a corpus of transcribed athlete interviews was analyzed in accordance with the Moral Foundations Dictionary (MFD). A one-way ANOVA revealed that the seven sports examined (auto racing, baseball, basketball, football, golf, hockey, and tennis) significantly differed in their respective emphases on each of the moral foundations, as defined by the frequency of words from corresponding sections of the MFD used in that sport’s interviews relative to the total number of words in the interviews (care: F=108.1, sd=0.536; authority: F=46.63, sd=0.694; fairness: F=13.94, sd=0.314; purity: F=16.78, sd=0.240; ingroup: F=27.74, sd=0.492; p<0.001 for all foundations). T-tests were used to compare contact and noncontact sports’ relative frequencies of moral language use from the care category as well as their overall moral language use. The differences between contact and noncontact sports’ relative emphases on the care foundation, and morality in general, were both found to be significant (t=456.8, sd=0.1, p<0.001; t=5.718, sd=1.007, p=0.0168). These findings support the hypotheses that sports have distinct moral cultures, that contact sports emphasize the care foundation more than noncontact sports, and that contact sports emphasize morality more in general. These findings can guide future research on the effects that different sports have on their participants.

description: The publication "Improving the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR principles) of health data stored in data infrastructures for secondary use and meeting the appropriate requirements" emphasizes the need to enhance the data infrastructure for health data, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The publication provides insight into the deficiencies of health data infrastructure, including cultural barriers, out-of-date policies, and misaligned incentives, which must be addressed to improve research and innovation in the health field. The deliverable D3.2, "Guidelines to standardise metadata templates and assessment of FAIRness maturity levels," is a set of recommendations for the best practices in FAIR-health metadata templates. The guidelines are based on the results of HealthyCloud Task 3.3, "Reference guidelines to standardize metadata templates for health-related data for uplifting and creating FAIR data catalogues," which focuses on capturing insights from the FAIRness maturity evaluation of data collections carried out in Task 3.2, "Landscape analysis of FAIRness levels of health-related data using a catalogue matrix." The deliverable provides a set of recommendations that can be applied to assess the FAIRness maturity levels in health data infrastructures, taking into account the specific requirements for health data due to its sensitive nature. The publication concludes by mentioning that previous initiatives on metadata templates have been explored to be included as references of the D3.2 guidelines. The submission to Zenodo will likely include the full text of the deliverable D3.2, along with any relevant references and additional information about the research project, authors, and funding sources.

description: The availability of the double-differential charged-current neutrino cross section, measured by the MiniBooNE collaboration using a carbon target, allows for a systematic comparison of nuclear effects in quasi-elastic electron and neutrino scattering. The results of theoretical studies based on the impulse approximation scheme and state-of-the-art models of the nuclear spectral functions suggest that the electron cross section and the flux averaged neutrino cross sections corresponding to the same target and seemingly comparable kinematical conditions can not be described within the same theoretical scheme using the value ofthe nucleon axial mass obtained from deuterium measurements. I analyze the assumptions underlying the treatment of electron scattering data, and argue that the development of a new {\em paradigm}, suitable for application to processes in which the lepton kinematics is not fully determined, will be required.

description: The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) of the European Space Agency (ESA) has the purpose to investigate Jupiter and its icy moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto in great detail. Among other scientific goals, JUICE will investigate the Jupiter system as a potential habitable system because the three icy moons have subsurface oceans where life might be possible. On board of JUICE is the Particle Environment Package (PEP), which consists of six individual instruments measuring electrons, ions and neutral particles in an energy range from meV up to MeV. One of these six instruments is the Neutral gas and Ion Mass spectrometer (NIM) from the University of Bern. The NIM instrument is designed to measure the chemical and isotope composition of the icy moons’ exospheres during the flybys of JUICE of the icy moons and also during JUICE final destination in Ganymede’s orbit. Knowing the chemical and isotope composition allows to investigate the origin and evolution processes involved in the formation processes of the icy moons, Jupiter and our solar system.

NIM is a time-of-flight mass spectrometer able to measure thermal neutral molecules and ionospheric ions. This thesis shows the journey from finalising the flight design of the NIM instrument to the actual testing, qualification, and calibration until delivery of the NIM Proto-Flight (PFM) instrument in December 2020 to the JUICE spacecraft. On this journey, different flight components were tested and analysed as they became available during the development and finalisation of the PFM and Flight-Spare (FS) instrument. From the foreseen scientific scope for the NIM instrument, a list of measurement requirements was delivered. This work shows that NIM PFM and NIM FS meet all these requirements.

description: A large body of evidence has demonstrated that the global rest-frame optical and IR colours of galaxies correlate well with each other, as well as with other galactic properties such as surface brightness and morphology. However the processes that lead to the observed correlations are contrary; the stellar light that contributes to the optical is readily absorbed by dust which emits in the IR. Thus on small scales we expect these correlations to break down. We examine seven nearby galaxies ranging from early- to late-types, on a pixel-by-pixel basis and we demonstrate that there is disconnect between the optical and IR when normalized to the near-IR (H-band). We can decompose this disconnect into two distinct components through a Principal Component Analysis of the H-band normalized SED of the pixels: one mainly correlated with variations in the IR, the other correlated with variations in the optical. By mapping these two components it is clear they arise from distinct spatial regions. The IR dominated component is strongly associated with the specific star-formation rate, while the optical-dominated component is broadly associated with the stellar mass density. However, when the pixels of all galaxies are compared, the well known optical-IR colour correlations return, demonstrating that the variance observed within galaxies is around a mean which follows the well-known trend. We also examine the extremely strong correlations between the IRAC-NIR colours and demonstrate that they are tight enough to use a single IRAC-NIR colour (i.e. 8mum-H) to determine the fluxes in the other IRAC bands. These correlations arise from the differing contribution of stellar light and dust to the IRAC bands, enabling us to determine pure stellar colours for these bands, but still demonstrating the need for dust (or stellar) corrections in these bands when being used as stellar (dust) tracers.

First draft on legal framework for technical safeguards with a focus on cloud usage
Creators: name: Schlünder, Irene

Subjects: Legal framework

privacy by design

description: This deliverable (D2.1) focuses on identifying legal requirements for privacy
 and security safeguards that apply while sharing health data for research through a
 FAIR Data Portal, with a focus on the use of cloud services. It begins by reviewing
 applicable GDPR principles that must be respected across the data lifecycle,
 including lawful basis, data minimisation (anonymisation and pseudonymisation),
 technical safeguards, data subjects’ rights, and accountability. The concept of a
 generic data governance model – applicable across the data lifecycle including
 submission, storage, access and use – is introduced.
 The deliverable then discusses the importance of data security in cloud
 environments. The cloud offers flexible and scalable storage/compute
 infrastructure and services to researchers. Cloud environments used in health
 research are diverse – from hyperscale, to national to local. Clouds must find ways
 to demonstrate high security standards, e.g., through certifications. Cloud users
 face the challenge of having to ensure providers have adequate security measures,
 and must also demonstrate that the measures in place actually correspond to the
 cloud user’s own data protection obligations.

description: Non-gravitating (stealth) scalar fields associated with Minkowski space in scalar-tensor gravity are examined. Analytical solutions for both non-minimally coupled scalar field theory and for Brans-Dicke gravity are studied and their stability with respect to tensor perturbations is assessed using a covariant and gauge-invariant formalism developed for alternative gravity. For Brans-Dicke solutions, the stability with respect to homogeneous perturbations is also studied. There are regions of parameter space corresponding to stability and other regions corresponding to instability.

Geospatial analysis of African elephant movement (Loxodonta africana and L. cyclotis)
Creators: name: Wall, Jacob C
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: African elephants (Loxodonta africana and L. cyclotis) are important species for geospatial study given their ecological role as megaherbivores, their large home ranges which pose challenges for conservation, and the ongoing ivory crisis. Using GPS tracking data, I address five research topics that contribute new information to the geospatial analysis of tracking data, to elephant movement ecology, and conservation : 1. What is an appropriate method to collect, store, disseminate, visualize and analyze elephant tracking data? I present a system (Loxobase) designed to provide an efficient and scientific basis for the treatment of wildlife tracking data. I demonstrate its utility by analyzing tracking datasets collected from 247 elephants (Chapter 2). 2. Can we leverage real-time tracking data for management and conservation? I present a monitoring system that implements continuous analysis of elephant GPS tracking data streams to identify positional and movement-based geospatial alert conditions. Four algorithms identify when wildlife slow or stop moving or cross into or near to spatial objects (Chapter 3). 3. Can we estimate wildlife space-use from tracking data? I develop the Elliptical Time-Density model to estimate an animal's utilization distribution from tracking data where parameters are directly linked to species biology. I demonstrate its performance in relation to other space-use estimators (Chapter 4). 4. What does tracking data tell us about the movement patterns of the Sahelian elephants in Mali? I use GPS tracking to study elephants in the Gourma, Mali to understand this unique and important population. The Gourma elephant's range was found to exceed those reported elsewhere in Africa and movements were correlated with patterns of rainfall and vegetation phenology. I also identified corridors and core areas of conservation priority (Chapter 5). 5. What does tracking data tell us about the factors influencing elephant range size across Africa? I present a comparative analysis of elephant range area measured in West, Central, East and Southern Africa. Using mixed effects models, I test hypotheses about elephant range size in relation to sex, species, region, vegetation phenology and quantity, protected areas, human footprint and terrain (Chapter 6).

description: We study the construction of analytical non-radially solutions for the 1-dimensional compressible adiabatic Euler equations in this article. We could design the perturbational method to construct a new class of analytical solutions. In details, we perturb the linear velocity:% \begin{equation} u=c(t)x+b(t) \end{equation} and substitute it into the compressible Euler equations. By comparing the coefficients of the polynomial, we could deduce the corresponding functional differential system of $(c(t),b(t),ρ^{γ-1}(0,t)).$ Then by skillfully applying the Hubble's transformation: \begin{equation} c(t)=\frac{\dot{a}(t)}{a(t)}, \end{equation} the functional differential equations can be simplified to be the system of $(a(t),b(t),ρ^{γ-1}(0,t))$. After proving the existence of the corresponding ordinary differential equations, a new class of blowup or global solutions can be shown. Here, our results fully cover the previous known ones by choosing $b(t)=0$.

description: Auf Grundlage einer Längsschnittstudie thematisiert dieser Beitrag die Bedeutsamkeits-, Qualitäts- und Nutzenseinschätzung des bildungswissenschaftlichen Studiums in der ersten Phase der Lehrerbildung in Baden-Württemberg aus Sicht Lehramtsstudierender (Schwerpunkt: Pädagogische Hochschulen). Nachgezeichnet werden Änderungen über drei Erhebungszeitpunkte (zu Studienbeginn, nach dem dritten Semester, nach Studienabschluss). Im längsschnittlichen Verlauf zeigt sich eine abnehmende Bedeutsamkeitszuschreibung an die bildungswissenschaftliche Komponente - sie wird bereits nach dem dritten Semester als am unbedeutsamsten erachtet, und auch die korrespondierende Qualitäts- und Nutzenseinschätzung ist vergleichsweise gering. Die relative Geringschätzung hält bis nach Studienabschluss an. Dieser Befund wird diskutiert und Bedingungen für den Bedeutsamkeitsrückgang werden mittels Panelanalyse aufgezeigt.
description: On the basis of a longitudinal study, the author examines the assessment of the significance, quality and usefulness of educational-scientific study courses during the first phase of teacher training as given by students enrolled in teacher training in Baden-Württemberg (focal point: university of education). Changes are recorded by carrying out three surveys at different points in time (at the beginning of the studies, after the third semester, after graduation). The longitudinal data show that the educational-scientific component is attributed increasingly less significance - after just three semesters it is already considered the most insignificant of all components, and the corresponding assessment of its quality and usefulness, too, is comparatively low. This relative disdain continues up to after graduation. These findings are discussed and reasons for the decrease in significance are revealed by means of a panel analysis. (DIPF/Orig.)

description: We present wide-field 1.1 mm continuum imaging of the nearby spiral galaxy M 33, conducted with the AzTEC bolometer camera on ASTE. We show that the 1.1 mm flux traces the distribution of dust with T ~20 K. Combined with far-infrared imaging at 160um, we derive the dust temperature distribution out to a galactic radius of ~7 kpc with a spatial resolution of ~100 parsecs. Although the 1.1 mm flux is observed predominantly near star forming regions, we find a smooth radial temperature gradient declining from ~20 K to ~13 K, consistent with recent results from the Herschel satellite. Further comparison of individual regions show a strong correlation between the cold dust temperature and the Ks band brightness, but not with the ionizing flux. The observed results imply that the dominant heating source of cold dust at few hundred parsec scales are due to the non-OB stars, even when associated with star forming regions.
