description: Um die Klimaziele bis 2030 zu erreichen, muss der Gebäudesektor deutlich weniger Kohlendioxid (CO2) ausstoßen. Die Analyse des DIW Berlin auf Basis der Daten vom Immobiliendienstleister ista zeigt, dass der Heizenergiebedarf sowie die temperaturbereinigten CO2-Emissionen im Jahr 2022 im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um fünf Prozent gesunken sind. Der Grund dieses Rückgangs sind vermutlich die im vergangenen Jahr stark gestiegenen Heizenergiepreise. Zudem waren wohl viele Haushalte motiviert, Energie einzusparen, um eine Gasmangellage zu vermeiden und weniger Gas aus Russland zu kaufen. Regional gibt es große Unterschiede im Verbrauch und in den Preisanstiegen: Im Norden konnten die größten Einsparungen erzielt werden, aber der Heizenergiebedarf bleibt dort – vor allem im Vergleich zu den ostdeutschen Ländern – trotzdem hoch. Ob die Einsparungen in diesem Umfang beibehalten werden und dauerhaft dazu beitragen, die Klimaziele zu erreichen, ist unwahrscheinlich. Um sich aus der fossilen Abhängigkeit zu lösen und die Klimaziele zu erreichen, ist es unabdingbar, die Investitionen in die Energieeffizienz von Gebäuden zu tätigen.

2. Émeric Crucé’s “Nouveau Cynée” (1623), Universal Peace and Free Trade
Creators: name: Mansfield, Andrew
Publisher: name: GISI - UniTO
Year: 2013

description: Émeric Crucé’s Nouveau Cynée (1623) was the earliest work to call for both universal peace and global free trade. Anonymously published, the work endorsed a pacifistic international body that would replace war with diplomatic state cooperation. Crucé claimed that by eschewing belligerent aggrandisement people could not only live in peaceful co-existence, regardless of geography or religion, great material prosperity would also be engendered. But this notion of an end to war within a seventeenth century context of frequent conflict meant the work was largely ignored by contemporaries, who favoured the international law of jurists such as Grotius. As a consequence the Nouveau Cynée was largely forgotten. Instead, the abbé de Saint-Pierre’s Projet pour rendre la paix perpétuelle (1712) came to be acclaimed as the first plan to value the correlation between non-violent cooperative states and commercial prosperity. Building on the Duke of Sully’s call in the Grand Dessein (1638) for a European senate, Saint-Pierre envisaged a European political union enriched by trade. Yet these proposals were restricted to Christendom, thereby lacking the breadth and purpose of Crucé’s world vision. While the Nouveau Cynée’s contribution has been noted in international relations and economics, it has largely been neglected by historians of political thought. Through an interdisciplinary approach this article will discuss the significance of the Nouveau Cynée’s early advocacy of global peace and free trade to political thought, as well as its influence on Sully and Saint-Pierre.

description: The happy function $H: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ sends a positive integer to the sum of the squares of its digits. A number $x$ is said to be happy if the sequence $\{H^n(x)\}^\infty_{n=1}$ eventually reaches one. A basic open question regarding happy numbers is what bounds on the density can be proved. This paper uses probabilistic methods to reduce this problem to experimentally finding suitably large intervals containing a high (or low) density of happy numbers as a subset. Specifically we show that $\bar{d} > .18577$ and $\underline{d} < .1138$. We also prove that the asymptotic density does not exist for several generalizations of happy numbers.

3. Crossing Boundaries: Cosmopolitanism, Secularism and Words in the Age of Revolutions
Creators: name: Mannucci, Erica Joy

Year: 2013

description: This study is focused on a cosmopolitan group of both famous and less famous radical intellectuals from both sides of the Atlantic—some of them of popular origin and self-educated—all linked by relations of personal friendship or at least col- laboration or contiguity: Thomas Paine, Joel Barlow, Nicolas de Bonneville, John Oswald, Joseph Ritson. The analysis of the language strategies they used to attempt a democratization of the universal communication that had been until then kept among the educated members of the Republic of letters—in particular insofar as the high tradition of the critique of revealed religion was concerned, considered here as an absolutely crucial point—centers on the themes of political etymology and of confidence in the performative energy of decoded words.

description: ‘ Gonorhynchus McClelland, 1838 ’
 M'Clelland (1839) published a monograph of the Cyprinidae of India, which included a new classification. Earlier (McClelland 1838), he published a summary of his new classification in which he used the name Gonorhynchus for some Cyprinidae of India. This has often been considered as the creation of a new genus name. No nominal species were mentioned in the 1838 paper. If this were a new name, a ‘ Gonorhynchus McClelland, 1838 ’ would be a junior homonym of Gonorhynchus Cuvier, 1816 and therefore not available for the South Asian ‘ Crossocheilus ’.
 But McClelland did not create a new name. His comment (McClelland 1838: 942) “this peculiar group [of Cyprinidae] which I have incorporated with the genus Gonorhynchus...” explicitly indicates that “this group” was added to a pre-existing Gonorhynchus that can only have been that of Gronovius and Cuvier.
 In the monograph, M'Clelland (1839: 366) explicitly stated that Gonorhynchus had been “formed by the elder Gronovius... from a single species found at the Cape of Good Hope”. He also mentioned (p. 261) “ Gonorhynchus Gron. ”. It is clear that McClelland knew Cuvier's work, from either the 1816 or 1829 editions (with quasi identical text), because he cited it many times, starting on the first page of the 1839 monograph (p. 217).
 In conclusion, there is no such thing as a ‘ Gonorhynchus McClelland, 1838 ’ but merely a usage of Gonorhynchus Cuvier, 1816 by McClelland. ‘ Gonorhynchus McClelland’ is listed as an available name in some nomenclators and synonymies (e.g. Jordan 1919: 194; Eschmeyer 1998: 1952; Kottelat 2013: 89) but it does not seem to have been used as the name of a valid genus between M'Clelland (1839) and Yang et al. (2012).
 [A reviewer commented that alternatively McClelland may have referred directly to Gronovius and (like Cuvier) corrected the spelling of the name. The likelihood that a copy of a book as rare as Gronovius (1763) was available to McClelland in Calcutta in 1838 seems slight, although not impossible. In any event, if that hypothesis were accepted, it would not change the present outcome since a Gonorhynchus McClelland, 1838 would in any event be a junior homonym of Gonorhynchus Cuvier, 1816.]

We describe explicitly the actions of the generators in the positive representations as positive essentially self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space, and prove the transcendental relations between the generators of the modular double. We define the modified quantum group $\mathbf{U}_{\mathfrak{q}\tilde{\mathfrak{q}}}(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R})$ of the modular double and show that the representations of both parts of the modular double commute weakly with each other, there is an embedding into a quantum torus algebra, and the commutant contains its Langlands dual.

description: Das öffentliche Interesse am Gender Pay Gap ist in den letzten Jahren in Deutschland deutlich gestiegen. Gleichzeitig hat sich bei der prozentualen Lohnlücke zwischen Frauen und Männern hierzulande kaum etwas getan. Ein europäischer Vergleich zeigt, dass niedrigere Frauenerwerbsquoten tendenziell mit einem niedrigeren Gender Pay Gap einhergehen. Eine Erklärung hierfür sind über die Länder variierende Geschlechterunterschiede in den Charakteristika der erwerbstätigen Bevölkerung. Sowohl im Vergleich zu allen Ländern als auch ausschließlich zu solchen mit ähnlichen Frauenerwerbsquoten hat Deutschland einen der höchsten Gender Pay Gaps in Europa. Im Gegensatz dazu fallen die nordischen Länder mit ihren vergleichsweise niedrigen Lohnlücken bei gleichzeitig hohen Frauenerwerbsquoten im europäischen Vergleich besonders positiv auf. Die Ausweitung der Partnermonate beim Elterngeld, der quantitative und qualitative Ausbau der Kinderbetreuung und eine Reform des Ehegattensplittings sind geeignete Instrumente um mehr Gleichstellung am Arbeitsmarkt zu erreichen – sowohl hinsichtlich der Erwerbsbeteiligung als auch der Löhne.

5. Doctor of Rivers. On the Remedies for Facing the Fortune in the Italian Renaissance
Creators: name: Mammola, Simone
Publisher: name: GISI - UniTO
Year: 2013

description: Renaissance medicine had the peculiar capacity to integrate in an organic and functional weave even historical and antiquarian competencies next to those properly naturalistic and biological. This is mirrored by the widespread use of medical metaphors in the context of moral and political, civil and technical reflexions. Such is the case also for the management of waters and rivers. So while Agostino Bacci compares floods to a disease and the idraulic engineer to a physician who, unable to alter upstream the course of things, prepares valid defensive strategies, Machiavelli gives literary dignity to the description of fortune like a river in flood that threatens to overwhelm and destroy everything.Their common recognition of a connection between the works of hydraulic engineering and the complex relationship between power and human freedom, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, luck or necessity, can be set, as we shall show, in the perspective of a new ideal of science, for which the profile of Bacci’s “doctor of the river” partly overlaps with Machiavelli’s virtuoso — a science that places in the middle of its investigation a critical survey of experience, and that is partly inspired by a certain way of doing medicine, partly by a certain way to read the history, and that focuses on the complexity of a world, natural as social, which rebels against too rigid schematizations.

Development of a Comprehensive Pyrolysis Model for Flexible Polyurethane Foam

Subjects: subject: Polymer chemistry
subject: Polyurethane Foam
subject: Pyrolysis Modeling

description: Flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs) are polymeric materials which have widespread use and present a large fire risk in modern society. Accurate prediction of their fire behavior is valuable for assessing the risk they pose in any fire scenario they are involved in. Several models have been developed to predict FPUF thermal decomposition at the milligram scale. However, none of these models are able to predict pyrolysis and combustion of gram-sized or kilogram-sized FPUF samples. In this work, a combination of experiments and modeling was used to develop a complete pyrolysis model for a standard FPUF foam. Inverse modeling of thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, microscale combustion calorimetry, and Controlled Atmosphere Pyrolysis Apparatus II experiments was conducted to obtain a comprehensive list of decomposition reaction kinetics, thermodynamic and transport properties that define the pyrolysis and flaming combustion of this material.

description: We present a method of lensing reconstruction on the full sky, by extending the optimal quadratic estimator proposed by Okamoto & Hu (2003) to the case including the curl mode of deflection angle. The curl mode is induced by the vector and tensor metric perturbations, and the reconstruction of the curl mode would be a powerful tool to not only check systematics in the estimated gradient mode but also probe any vector and tensor sources. We find that the gradient and curl modes can be reconstructed separately, thanks to the distinctive feature in the parity symmetry between the gradient and curl modes. We compare our estimator with the flat-sky estimator proposed by Cooray et al (2005). Based on the new formalism, the expected signal-to-noise ratio of the curl mode produced by the primordial gravitational-waves and a specific model of cosmic strings are estimated, and prospects for future observations are discussed.

description: For a split reductive group scheme $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ with Weyl group $W$, there is an important functor $Rep(G,k) \to Rep(W,k)$ defined by taking the zero weight space. We prove that the restriction of this functor to the subcategory of small representations has an alternative geometric description, in terms of the affine Grassmannian and the nilpotent cone of the Langlands dual group to $G$. The translation from representation theory to geometry is via the Satake equivalence and the Springer correspondence. This generalizes the result for the $k=\mathbb{C}$ case proved by the first two authors, and also provides a better explanation than in that earlier paper, since the current proof is uniform across all types.

The effects of turbulent drag reducing additives on hydrocyclone operation : an evaluation of the flow behaviour and particle mechanics
Creators: name: MacKenzie, Jordan Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The effects of adding drag reducing additives to a pulp processing hydrocyclone were experimentally investigated. This work was found to contribute towards improving particle separation efficiencies and reducing energy consumption. To effectively evaluate the performance improvements, the flow field was initially measured using laser Doppler velocimetry. In the presence of a particulate phase, the motions of variously sized particles were measured using a three dimensional, dual camera set-up. Quantification of the drag reducing potential of the various polymer solutions and fibre suspensions studied was experimentally determined using an integral analysis for a fixed control volume. The addition of drag reducing polymer additives was found to fundamentally change the hydrocyclone flow field from what is classically observed with water alone. For the conditions studied in this work, the effectiveness of a hydrocyclone towards removing contaminants would likely be reduced, as a particles separation zone was limited. The addition of polymer additives to a hydrocyclone was found to increase the size of particles susceptible to overflow removal. It was found that particles of density 1280 kg/m³ and diameter 500 - 600 microns displayed inwards motion in a 0.03% APAM solution, where purely outwards motion was measured for identically sized particles suspended in water. The flow field, however, indicated that overflow removal is limited to only a small region near the vortex finder. Polymer additives were found to be effective in reducing energy consumption in a hydrocyclone. Maximum drag reduction was found to occur at a reject ratio of 50% for polymer solutions, independent of inlet velocity. The energy savings potential for polymer additives in a pulp processing hydrocyclone, however, was found to be limited to the inlet velocity. Most in process hydrocyclones operate well above the minimum inlet velocities measured for rejects ratios of 25% and 50%, suggesting that additional energy savings would likely occur. The phenomenological degradation of the polymer agents investigated in this work suggests that the practical use of these additives would be difficult. This was found to be most significant with cellulose fibre suspensions containing cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), as polymer adsorption resulted in rapid polymer degradation.

description: This paper concerns singular value decomposition (SVD)-based computable formulas and bounds for the condition number of the Total Least Squares (TLS) problem. For the TLS problem with the coefficient matrix $A$ and the right-hand side $b$, a new closed formula is presented for the condition number. Unlike an important result in the literature that uses the SVDs of both $A$ and $[A,\ b]$, our formula only requires the SVD of $[A,\ b]$. Based on the closed formula, both lower and upper bounds for the condition number are derived. It is proved that they are always sharp and estimate the condition number accurately. A few lower and upper bounds are further established that involve at most the smallest two singular values of $A$ and of $[A,\ b]$. Tightness of these bounds is discussed, and numerical experiments are presented to confirm our theory and to demonstrate the improvement of our upper bounds over the two upper bounds due to Golub and Van Loan as well as Baboulin and Gratton. Such lower and upper bounds are particularly useful for large scale TLS problems since they require the computation of only a few singular values of $A$ and $[A, \ b]$ other than all the singular values of them.

In drei Viertel der Fälle konzentrieren sich die Unternehmen dabei auf Technologien, in denen sie auch in Deutschland besonders stark sind. Die technologische Leistungsfähigkeit der Forschung und Entwicklung am Heimatstandort bestimmt somit weitgehend die Innovationskraft der weltweit tätigen deutschen Unternehmen. Wie dieser Wochenbericht auf Basis von Patentdaten außerdem zeigt, ergänzen die meisten ausländischen Forschungsaktivitäten entweder die inländischen oder sie dienen dem Absatz und der Produktion im Ausland. Einen geringen Anteil haben Internationalisierungsstrategien, die technologische Defizite im Heimatland ausgleichen sollen. Sie werden von deutschen Unternehmen vor allem in der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie verfolgt, deren Bedeutung im Zuge der Digitalisierung steigt. Um das von den Unternehmen im Ausland erworbene Wissen besser aufnehmen und nutzen zu können, sollte die Forschung in diesen Zukunftstechnologiefeldern auch in Deutschland gestärkt werden. Von der fortschreitenden Internationalisierung seiner weltweit aktiven Unternehmen kann der Forschungsstandort Deutschland profitieren, wenn die öffentliche Forschung, beispielsweise an Universitäten, ihre technologische Basis erweitert und so als Kooperationspartner für die Unternehmen attraktiv bleibt.

description: Tariqilabeo Mirza & Saboohi, 1990
 When they decided to use ‘ Gonorhynchus McClelland’ for the South Asian species of ‘ Crossocheilus ’, Yang et al. (2012) did not verify the availability of the name and did not realise the nomenclatural risks inherent in the nearhomonymy of Gonorynchus Scopoli, 1777 and ‘ Gonorhynchus McClelland, 1838 ’, and the likelihood that an old classical name prone to misspelling was likely to have a number of homonyms, quasi homonyms, incorrect subsequent spellings and emendations.
 The name Tariqilabeo Mirza & Saboohi, 1990 was proposed as a subgenus of Labeo Cuvier, 1816. Its type species is Labeo macmahoni Zugmayer, 1912, by original designation. Labeo macmahoni is a South Asian ‘ Crossocheilus ’. It is not clear whether it is a valid species or a synonym of ‘ Crossocheilus ’ diplochilus (Heckel, 1838) but a photograph of the only known surviving syntype shows a ‘ Crossocheilus ’ (Mirza & Arshad 2008: 465, fig. 1). This makes Tariqilabeo the valid name for the genus including the South Asian ‘ Crossocheilus ’ and the ‘ Gonorhynchus ’ of Yang et al. (2012).
 Yang et al. (2012) recovered T. latius and T. diplochilus as sister species, themselves sister group to T. burmanicus (Hora, 1936) and Akrokolioplax bicornis (Wu, 1977). They concluded that Akrokolioplax Zhang & Kottelat, 2006 is a junior synonym of ‘ Gonorhynchus McClelland’. With only three species of Tariqilabeo examined, with problems with the identity of T. burmanicus (several species confused under this name; pers. obs.), with additional species having rostral flaps apparently homologous with those of Akrokolioplax, and given the fugacity of molecular phylogenies when additional species or other genes are analysed, I consider it premature to follow this synonymy and I conservatively retain Akrokolioplax until the synonymy is corroborated.

description: Let $H$ be a permutation group on a set $Λ$, which is permutationally isomorphic to a finite alternating or symmetric group $A_n$ or $S_n$ acting on the $k$-element subsets of points from $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, for some arbitrary but fixed $k$. Suppose moreover that no isomorphism with this action is known. We show that key elements of $H$ needed to construct such an isomorphism $φ$, such as those whose image under $φ$ is an $n$-cycle or $(n-1)$-cycle, can be recognised with high probability by the lengths of just four of their cycles in $Λ$.

description: One of the major mechanisms of multidrug resistance involves an efflux protein, P-glycoprotein (Pgp), which pumps commonly used anticancer drugs such as taxanes out of cells, leading to a decrease in cellular drug accumulation. The overall goal of this project was to develop strategies to enhance intracellular drug accumulation and cytotoxicity of nanoparticulate taxanes in multi-drug resistant (MDR) cell lines. Paclitaxel (PTX) loaded nanoparticles fabricated from micelle forming MePEG₁₁₄-b-PCL₁₉ and nanosphere forming MePEG₁₁₄-b-PCL₁₀₄ were compared for drug and block copolymer uptake, and cytotoxicity in drug sensitive MDCKII and drug resistant MDCKII-MDR1 cell lines. PTX loaded micelles were more cytotoxic than PTX loaded nanospheres. Co-administration of the known Pgp inhibitor, MePEG₁₇-b-PCL₅, with PTX loaded micelles or nanospheres significantly increased drug cytotoxicity in MDCKII-MDR1 cells. Mixed molecular weight (MW) PCL₂₀₀/PCL₅ nanoparticles composed of long hydrophobic block, MePEG₁₁₄-b-PCL₂₀₀, and MePEG₁₇-b-PCL₅, were developed and characterized for the co-delivery of taxanes and Pgp inhibitor. Both PTX and docetaxel (DTX) loaded mixed MW PCL₂₀₀/PCL₅ nanoparticles were demonstrated to release MePEG₁₇-b-PCL₅ in a controlled release manner and increase drug cytotoxicity in MDR cells as compared to the drug loaded MePEG₁₁₄-b-PCL₂₀₀ nanoparticles in the absence of MePEG₁₇-b-PCL₅. The mixed MW nanoparticles remained in the plasma for longer than the drugs with approximately 3% of the injected dose remaining 24 hrs post injection. Ultrasound irradiation was investigated as a potential strategy to enhance the cytotoxicity of PTX loaded MePEG-b-PDLLA micelles in MDR cells. Using an ultrasound regime of a single 10-second burst of high frequency (4 MHz) and high intensity (32 W/cm²) ultrasound, it was shown that ultrasound irradiation resulted in a two-fold increase in intracellular uptake of PTX in drug sensitive MDCKII and MCF-7 cell lines and their respective Pgp-overexpressing MDCKII-MDR1 and NCI-ADR counterparts as compared to untreated cells (no ultrasound). The enhanced accumulation and retention of PTX resulting from ultrasound treatment translated into greater cytotoxicity in both drug sensitive and resistant cell lines. In conclusion, we have demonstrated two promising strategies for enhancing MDR cellular drug accumulation and effectiveness: the use of mixed molecular weight taxane loaded nanoparticles and ultrasound irradiation.

description: Community detection is a fundamental problem in network analysis, with applications in many diverse areas. The stochastic block model is a common tool for model-based community detection, and asymptotic tools for checking consistency of community detection under the block model have been recently developed. However, the block model is limited by its assumption that all nodes within a community are stochastically equivalent, and provides a poor fit to networks with hubs or highly varying node degrees within communities, which are common in practice. The degree-corrected stochastic block model was proposed to address this shortcoming and allows variation in node degrees within a community while preserving the overall block community structure. In this paper we establish general theory for checking consistency of community detection under the degree-corrected stochastic block model and compare several community detection criteria under both the standard and the degree-corrected models. We show which criteria are consistent under which models and constraints, as well as compare their relative performance in practice. We find that methods based on the degree-corrected block model, which includes the standard block model as a special case, are consistent under a wider class of models and that modularity-type methods require parameter constraints for consistency, whereas likelihood-based methods do not. On the other hand, in practice, the degree correction involves estimating many more parameters, and empirically we find it is only worth doing if the node degrees within communities are indeed highly variable. We illustrate the methods on simulated networks and on a network of political blogs.

description: Unternehmen investieren in Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE), um ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu sichern und die Produktivität zu erhöhen. Mit umfangreichen Unternehmensdaten für Deutschland kann hier gezeigt werden, dass forschende Industrieunternehmen in zentralen städtischen Agglomerationsräumen besonders produktiv sind. Sie profitieren dort unter anderem von Wissen, das durch die FuE-Aktivitäten anderer Unternehmen und die öffentliche Forschung geschaffen wird. Dabei unterscheiden sich die regionalen Forschungssysteme der größten städtischen Regionen erheblich. Diese Unterschiede erfordern eine jeweils spezifische forschungs- und technologiepolitische Unterstützung des Ausbaus der regionalen Forschungs- und Innovationssysteme. Ziel muss dabei sein, die regionalen Wissenstransfers zwischen Unternehmen, Hochschulen und außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen zu stärken. Dabei müssen die regionalen Unterschiede in den Problemlagen beachtet werden, weil Maßnahmen auf Bundesebene in den Forschungsregionen unterschiedliche Wirkungen entfalten.

description: We define the finest order on inductive limits of ordered cones which makes the linear mappings monotone and gives rise to the definition of inductive limit topologies for cones. Using the polars of neighborhoods, we establish embeddings between direct sums, inductive limits and their duals. These lead us to investigate the weak topologies and the topologies of pointwise convergence in inductive limits.

description: Gegenstand dieser Masterarbeit ist die Förderung prosozialer Verhaltensweisen in einer 3. Klasse durch ein ritualisiertes Handpuppenspiel, das über einen Zeitraum von fünf Wochen zweimal wöchentlich durchgeführt wurde. Der Schwerpunkt liegt darauf, die gegenseitige Akzeptanz in der Klasse zu stärken und ein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit und Wertschätzung für alle Schülerinnen und Schüler zu fördern. Besonders berücksichtigt werden zwei Kinder, bei welchen ein erhöhter Bedarf an sozialer Teilhabe festzustellen ist. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung werden verschiedene Theorien zu sozialen Kompetenzen analysiert und miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt. Darüber hinaus wird das Pädagogische und Therapeutische Handpuppenspiel eingehend betrachtet, wobei die Bedeutung von Handpuppen für die Schülerinnen und Schüler betont wird. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Handpuppen «Soigra & Klakli», deren Wirkung, Einsatz und Relevanz für die Interventionsziele detailliert beschrieben werden. Die Ergebnisse zur Veränderung der Sozialen Integration und des Klassenklimas, erhoben durch den FEESS 3-4-Fragebogen, Interviews und ein Klassensoziogramm, weisen auf eine signifikante positive Entwicklung hin, die in der Arbeit umfassend diskutiert wird.

Limiting Behavior of a Class of Hermitian-Yang-Mills Metrics, I

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: This paper begins to study the limiting behavior of a family of Hermitian Yang-Mills (HYM for brevity) metrics on a class of rank two slope stable vector bundles over a product of two elliptic curves with Kähler metrics $ω_ε$ when $ε\to 0$. Here $ω_ε$ are flat and have areas $ε$ and $ε^{-1}$ on the two elliptic curves respectively. A family of Hermitian metrics on the vector bundle are explicitly constructed and with respect to them, the HYM metrics are normalized. We then compare the family of normalized HYM metrics with the family of constructed Hermitian metrics by doing estimates. We get the higher order estimates as long as the $C^0$-estimate is provided. We also get the estimate of the lower bound of the $C^0$-norm. If the desired estimate of the upper bound of the $C^0$-norm can be obtained, then it would be shown that these two families of metrics are close to arbitrary order in $ε$ in any $C^k$ norms.
La critica musicale sarda di fine Ottocento e gli scritti di Enrico Costa (“Actos”)

description: La progressiva costruzione di una coscienza identitaria sarda negli anni Settanta e Ottanta dell’Ottocento, basata sulla storia, sulla cultura e sulle tradizioni locali e demandata a studiosi e intellettuali, individua i suoi canali preferenziali nella stampa quotidiana e periodica, ma non trova una adeguata corrispondenza nelle tematiche della critica musicale isolana, che privilegia, invece, la produzione nazionale. Nel saggio vengono esaminate sia le critiche musicali redatte da vari autori sul giornale «L’avvenire di Sardegna», sia le numerose critiche e scritti di argomento musicale pubblicati dallo scrittore Enrico Costa su alcune testate, ma soprattutto su «La Stella di Sardegna», rivista da lui fondata e diretta. L’analisi mette in luce una notevole sintonia di intenti tra i differenti autori, modalità critiche simili e un approccio decisamente conservatore e restio ad accogliere le innovazioni del teatro musicale contemporaneo, viste come un pericolo per quella forte identità musicale italiana alla quale viene fatto costante riferimento.

Cardiac and vascular dynamics in persons of Aboriginal descent
Creators: name: Foulds, Heather-Jean A
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Introduction: Aboriginal populations currently experience greater rates of cardiovascular disease, than non-Aboriginals. Limited information regarding vascular and cardiac structure and function among this population are known, despite the close relationships of cardiac and vascular physiology to cardiovascular disease. Purposes: Theses investigations evaluate cardiac and vascular dynamics of Aboriginal Canadians, directly compare vascular measures between Aboriginal and European adults and evaluate the cardiac and vascular responses to exercise among Aboriginal and European adults. Methods: In the first investigation, 55 Aboriginal adults underwent a comprehensive vascular assessment. In Study 2, 10 Aboriginal adults underwent a resting echocardiographic evaluation. Study 3 compared the vascular status of 58 Aboriginal and 58 age- and sex-matched European adults. Vascular measures were assessed pre and post-exercise among 12 Aboriginal adults and 12 age- and sex matched European adults in Study 4. Pre and post-exercise cardiac assessments were performed on 12 Aboriginal and 12 age- and sex-matched European adults in Study 5. Results: In study 1, Aboriginal male and female adults (19-91 years) were found to have similar pulse wave velocity and intima-media thickness, with males having greater systolic blood pressure and small arterial compliance, and females having greater baroreceptor sensitivity. Study 2 identified Aboriginal males having larger left ventricular mass, dimensions, and volumes, while females had greater vascular resistance. In study 3, Aboriginal adults arterial compliance and baroreceptor sensitivity was identified as being more strongly associated with blood pressure compared to Europeans. Additionally, only European hypertension (blood pressure ≥140 mmHg systolic or ≥90 mmHg diastolic) rates were found to be associated with obesity (body mass index ≥30.0 kg•m-²). Study 4 identified European adults as having greater reductions in blood pressure following exercise, with a lack of change among Aboriginal adults. In study 5, Aboriginal and European adults were found to have similar cardiac functional responses to maximal aerobic exercise, including decreases in volumes and increases in arterial-ventricular coupling; however, only Aboriginal adults demonstrated decreases in volumes and compliance, and increases in elastance and stiffness following submaximal exercise. Conclusion: Differences in factors affecting blood pressure and blood pressure responses to exercise were identified between Aboriginal and European adults.
