description: We have performed an in-depth concept study of a gravitational wave data analysis method which targets repeated long quasi-monochromatic transients (triggers) from cosmic sources. The algorithm concept can be applied to multi-trigger data sets in which the detector-source orientation and the statistical properties of the data stream change with time, and does not require the assumption that the data is Gaussian. Reconstructing or limiting the energetics of potential gravitational wave emissions associated with quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in the X-ray lightcurve tails of soft gamma repeater flares might be an interesting endeavour of the future. Therefore we chose this in a simplified form to illustrate the flow, capabilities, and performance of the method. We investigate performance aspects of a multi-trigger based data analysis approach by using O(100 s) long stretches of mock data in coincidence with the times of observed QPOs, and by using the known sky location of the source. We analytically derive the PDF of the background distribution and compare to the results obtained by applying the concept to simulated Gaussian noise, as well as off-source playground data collected by the 4-km Hanford detector (H1) during LIGO's fifth science run (S5). We show that the transient glitch rejection and adaptive differential energy comparison methods we apply succeed in rejecting outliers in the S5 background data. Finally, we discuss how to extend the method to a network containing multiple detectors, and as an example, tune the method to maximize sensitivity to SGR 1806-20 flare times.

description: This study explores the use and implications of biomimicry as a design method in a secondary school Design and Technology classroom in England. The study’s aim was to explore biomimicry as one of the design approaches in a Design and Technology classroom. The goal of this research was to develop an appropriate teaching strategy for including biomimicry in the design process as a means for encouraging students to “use a variety of approaches to generate creative ideas and avoid stereotypical responses when responding to design briefs” (DfE, 2013, p. 2). The Biomimicry approach takes inspiration from natural solutions adopted by nature and imitates the concepts when designing products. Working with a class of year 9 pupils (aged 13 - 14) the research team introduced the principles of biomimicry, which was chosen as an innovative approach for promoting creativity. This action research took a qualitative approach to gain insights into pupils' thought process as they applied biomimicry in the given design brief. Action Research was used to understand if the introduction of biomimicry as an intervention would develop pupils’ creativity. The data that was used for analysis includes responses to open-ended questions, drawings, and artefacts. The findings of the study show that with the support of teachers, pupils used inspirations from nature in their design and make tasks to creatively think through and create original artefacts that meet an identified design need. The biomimicry approach was embraced by pupils who developed a range of nature inspired designs. The paper also presents interesting findings on pupils’ knowledge and learning process through demonstration of acquired skills of originality and creativity represented through interventions in nature

description: Peer review and the evaluation of samples are common tools used in education and our research has shown positive impacts on student learning through the intentional evaluation of samples as a priming exercise—an experience we have termed “Learning by Evaluating (LbE).” While previous work in design and technology (D&T) classrooms with LbE has demonstrated positive student learning gains, we have not yet investigated the impact of the classroom teacher on the effectiveness of LbE and student learning. Therefore, our research sought to analyse the impact of a classroom teacher on student learning within a LbE experience situated in a D&T classroom. To better understand the impact the teacher has during LbE, multiple D&T classrooms engaged in LbE sessions were enrolled in this study. Each D&T classroom followed a similar protocol which had students engaged in an open-ended design problem who used LbE to evaluate samples of related work as part of their designing process. Specifically, we collected data from student LbE decisions to explore if students in different D&T classes valued different elements of the samples (e.g. did students in one class focus on aesthetics while students in another emphasized brevity in explanations). An online software platform (RMCompare) was used to engage students in LbE and collect both the quantitative data associated with the ranked preferences of the students and the qualitative data from their justifications for their selections. All students were enrolled in the same course, provided the same prompt to base their selections, and presented with the same samples. Key findings—both similarities and differences—between classes will be shared in alignment with implications for design and technology classrooms.

description: In this paper, we review the so-called Töpfer algorithm that allows us to find a non-iterative numerical solution of the Blasius problem, by solving a related initial value problem and applying a scaling transformation. Moreover, we remark that the applicability of this algorithm can be extended to any given problem, provided that the governing equation and the initial conditions are invariant under a scaling group of point transformations and that the asymptotic boundary condition is non-homogeneous. Then, we describe an iterative extension of Töpfer's algorithm that can be applied to a general class of problems. Finally, we solve the Falkner-Skan model, for values of the parameter where multiple solutions are admitted, and report original numerical results, in particular data related to the famous reverse flow solutions by Stewartson. The numerical data obtained by the extended algorithm are in good agreement with those obtained in previous studies.

description: Shifts in the Higher Education sector over the past decade have seen greater numbers of applicants than ever before entering university. As undergraduate cohorts have expanded, a diverse student body has emerged, with a rich and complex array of learning needs, desires and expectations. At the same time, public discourse around higher education has changed significantly, and particularly following the introduction and increase of tuition fees, this has led to an emphasis on programmes being seen to provide value for money; a value for money that is being increasingly measured via the metric of graduate employment outcomes. As a result, universities are being pushed to find new ways to ensure that students leave their degree programmes with the kinds of transferable skills necessary to succeed in a contemporary job market that, following shifts in working patterns introduced during the Covid 19 pandemic, values flexibility, and adaptation. This case study – using blogging as a summative assessment at Level 6 of an ‘Events’ Management programme – illustrates that engagement, criticality, and relevance can be successfully incorporated, providing students with a key skill directly relevant to industry.

description: Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs), such as Pseudomonas fluorescens, support plants via different mechanisms such as biocontrol (suppressing pathogenic organisms), phytostimulation (modulation of plant-hormone levels) or biofertilization (by improving nutrient supply) and thus are important for growth yields. Therefore, it is important to understand interactions of the bacteria and plant roots. Many PGPRs are able to form a biofilm on plant roots, so they live in an adherent cell community on the root surface. Different bacterial surface structures (e.g. pili or fimbriae) and secreted proteins (e.g. adhesins or enzymes) are involved in biofilm formation or plant growth promotion. Therefore, the first part of this study investigated the influence of selected secreted proteins or protein secretion systems on biofilm formation of P. fluorescens. Genes encoding translocated substrates or secretion system components were deleted to abolish their function. Two genes encoding type 1 secretion system (T1SS) components (lapA, encoding an adhesin and aprE, encoding a membrane fusion protein) were identified, whose deletion lead to weaker biofilm formation. Further analyses of the Apr T1SS revealed that its substrate AprA (an extracellular protease) was not directly involved in biofilm formation. The deletion of aprE most likely resulted in mistargeting AprA into the periplasm, which could influence biofilm formation. In the second part of the study, a new tightly controlled sugar-independent expression system was established for P. fluorescens A506. The gene PflA506_4486 was predicted to encode a putative anthranilic acid inducible regulator for the expression of an adjacent antABC operon for anthranilic acid degradation to catechol. PflA506_4486 and the putative promoter region for antABC expression were cloned into a shuttle vector system for Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas. gfp was put under control of this anthranilate-inducible promoter (PantA) system as reporter for the examination of promoter activity. In this study it was shown that the anthranilate-inducible promoter system is tightly controlled by inducer concentration and can be tuned to expression levels suitable for physiological analyses. Compared with a rhamnose-inducible promoter system, the PantA-system was advantageous in P. fluorescens A506. Moreover, this new system is working in P. fluorescens as well as in Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are the most intensively studies pseudomonads.

description: Theoretical rotational quenching cross sections and rate coefficients of ortho- and para-H$_2$O due to collisions with He atoms are presented. The complete angular momentum close-coupling approach as well as the coupled-states approximation for angular momentum decoupling were applied to solve the scattering problem for a large range of rotationally-excited states of water. Results are obtained for quenching from initial levels 1$_{1,0}$, 2$_{1,2}$, 2$_{2,1}$, 3$_{0,3}$, 3$_{1,2}$, 3$_{2,1}$, 4$_{1,4}$, 3$_{3,0}$, and 4$_{2,3}$ of ortho-H$_2$O and from initial levels 1$_{1,1}$, 2$_{0,2}$, 2$_{1,1}$, 2$_{2,0}$, 3$_{1,3}$, 3$_{2,2}$, 4$_{0,4}$, 4$_{1,3}$, and 3$_{3,1}$ of para-H$_2$O for kinetic energies from 10$^{-5}$ to 10$^4$ cm$^{-1}$. State-to-state and total deexcitation cross sections and rate coefficients for temperatures between 0.1 and 3000 K are reported. The present state-to-state rate coefficients are found to be in good agreement with previous results obtained by Green and coworkers at high temperatures, but significant discrepancies are obtained at lower temperatures likely due to differences in the adopted potential energy surfaces. Astrophysical applications of the current rate coefficients are briefly discussed.

description: Eine Klasse nanoporöser Materialien, die derzeit besonders intensiv erforscht werden, sind die Metall-organischen Gerüstverbindungen (MOFs). Diese entstehen aus der Kombination anorganischer Baueinheiten, meist Metall-Oxo-Clustern, und organischen Brückenmolekülen (Linker), die gemeinsam nanoporöse Strukturen aufbauen. Aus der Vielzahl der Kombinationsmöglichkeiten resultieren viele Verbindungen mit unter-schiedlichen Strukturen, Porengrößen und somit auch zahlreichen denkbaren Anwen-dungen. Dabei ist die Synthese dieser Verbindungen immer noch ein wichtiges Thema, gerade wenn es um die Einstellung der Morphologie der Produkte im Hinblick auf be-stimmte Anwendungen geht. Dies gilt ebenso für die Stabilität der Materialien, insbe-sondere gegenüber Wasser. Die Stabilität kann wiederum von der Defektchemie beein-flusst werden. Somit kommt der Realstruktur der MOFs – neben der Idealstruktur – erhebliche Bedeutung zu. Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der Herstellung, den Strukturen und den Eigenschaften von Zirconium-basierten MOFs, denen grund-sätzlich eine höhere Stabilität zugesprochen wird. Durch die Weiterentwicklung litera-turbekannter Synthesewege und der Erarbeitung weiterer grundlegender Erkenntnisse über die Herstellungsverfahren konnten zahlreiche neue Zirconium-basierte MOFs er-zeugt werden. Darunter sind Vertreter aus der sogenannten UiO-66-Strukturfamilie, aber auch poröse interpenetrierte Zirconium-basierte MOFs (PIZOFs). Die Strukturen dieser Materialien wurden durch Röntgen-Beugungsmethoden und theoretische Model-lierungen ermittelt. Die Porensysteme wurden mittels der Adsorption verschiedener Ga-se untersucht. Dabei wurden auch Hinweise für Defekte in den Strukturen gefunden. Weiterhin wurden verschiedene Vorgehensweisen zur Erprobung der Stabilität gegen-über Wasser entwickelt. Dabei ergaben sich deutliche Unterschiede in der Wasserstabili-tät verschiedener Zr-basierter MOFs. Weiter zeigte sich, dass das Ergebnis eines Stabili-tätstest nicht nur von der untersuchten Verbindung abhängt, sondern auch von der exak-ten Durchführung eines Tests. Diese Dissertation liefert somit für einige bekannte und eine Reihe neuer Zr-basierter MOFs wichtige Beiträge zum Verständnis der Zusammen-hänge zwischen Synthese, Ideal- und Realstruktur sowie der Stabilität. Diese Arbeiten wurden im Rahmen des Schwerpunktprogramms 1362 der DFG durchgeführt.

description: As a major component of the LAMOST Galactic surveys, the LAMOST Spectroscopic Survey of the Galactic Anti-center (LSS-GAC) will survey a significant volume of the Galactic thin/thick disks and halo in a contiguous sky area of ~ 3,400sq.deg., centered on the Galactic anti-center (|b| <= 30°, 150 <= l <= 210°), and obtain λλ3800--9000 low resolution (R ~ 1,800) spectra for a statistically complete sample of >= 3M stars of all colors, uniformly and randomly selected from (r, g - r) and (r, r - i) Hess diagrams obtained from a CCD imaging photometric survey of ~ 5,400sq.deg. with the Xuyi 1.04/1.20 m Schmidt Telescope, ranging from r = 14.0 to a limiting magnitude of r = 17.8 (18.5 for limited fields). The survey will deliver spectral classification, radial velocity Vr and stellar parameters (effective temperature Teff, surface gravity log g and metallicity [Fe/H]) for millions of Galactic stars. Together with Gaia which will provide accurate distances and tangential velocities for a billion stars, the LSS-GAC will yield a unique dataset to study the stellar populations, chemical composition, kinematics and structure of the disks and their interface with the halo, identify streams of debris of tidally disrupted dwarf galaxies and clusters, probe the gravitational potential and dark matter distribution, map the 3D distribution of interstellar dust extinction, search for rare objects (e.g. extremely metal-poor or hyper-velocity stars), and ultimately advance our understanding of the assemblage of the Milky Way and other galaxies and the origin of regularity and diversity of their properties. ...

Méthode. Nous avons investigué la découverte d’une bactériémie à Klebsiella pneumoniae OXA-48 chez une patiente sans facteur de risque. L’enquête a mis en évidence six cas ayant en commun l’utilisation d’un même duodénoscope pour une cholangiopancréatographie rétrograde endoscopique (CPRE). L’endoscope a été prélevé, expertisé à deux reprises puis séquestré et les souches comparées par séquençage de leur génome et utilisation d’une approche par core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST). Des audits de pratiques ont été réalisés. Résultats. Les souches de K. pneumoniae étaient considérées comme reliées chez cinq patients ; le sixième était porteur d’une souche d’Escherichia coli dont le support plasmidique de la résistance était semblable à celui retrouvé chez K. pneumoniae. Les pratiques étaient conformes. Les prélèvements microbiologiques et les expertises n’ont pas permis d’identifier de non-conformité. L’analyse épidémiologique et les données de comparaison des souches ont été jugées suffisamment pertinentes pour retirer définitivement l’endoscope incriminé. Conclusions. La technique de prélèvement des duodénoscopes pour CPRE gagnerait à être améliorée conformément aux recommandations récentes. La comparaison de souches par séquençage complet est un outil utile et objectif pour prouver une transmission croisée.

description: In the context of the MOSE project, in this contribution we present a detailed analysis of the Meso-NH mesoscale model performances and their dependency on the model and orography horizontal resolutions in proximity of the ground. The investigated sites are Cerro Paranal (site of the ESO Very Large Telescope - VLT) and Cerro Armazones (site of the ESO European Extremely Large Telescope - E-ELT), in Chile. At both sites, data from a rich statistical sample of different nights are available - from AWS (Automated Weather Stations) and masts - giving access to wind speed, wind direction and temperature at different levels near the ground (from 2 m to 30 m above the ground). In this study we discuss the use of a very high horizontal resolution (dX=0.1 km) numerical configuration that overcomes some specific limitations put in evidence with a standard configuration with dX=0.5 km. In both sites results are very promising. The study is co-funded by ESO and INAF.

description: Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal roles in the shaping of this attitude. Here, we contribute to the study of the genetic underpinnings of dispersal-related behavioral variation by assembling and annotating the first de novo transcriptome of the head tissues of Salamandra salamandra. Although dispersal occurs mostly during the post-metamorphic terrestrial life stage in this species, variation in dispersal-related personality traits is already evident at the aquatic larval stage, making it an excellent candidate species for studies of carry-over effects. We employed a structured pipeline to de-novo assemble and annotate transcripts from RNA-Seq in a set of individuals representative of distinct behavioral profiles. We obtained 1,153,432,918 reads, which were successfully de novo assembled and annotated. The high-quality assembly was confirmed by comparing BUSCO, DETONATE and TransRate with the S. salamandra dataset. By aligning the contigs against the de novo transcriptome we obtained a percentage of mapping higher than 94%. The homology annotation performed with DIAMOND led to 153,048 (blastx) and 95,942 (blastp) shared contigs, annotated on NCBI nr, Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. The domain and site protein prediction made with InterProScan led to 9850 GO-annotated contigs. This de-novo transcriptome represents reliable reference for whole transcriptome and proteome studies of other amphibians, for designing primers to clone specific genes or monitor their expression, and for analyzing comparative gene expression profiles between alternative behavioral types.

description: Das Verhältnis zwischen Sprache und Nation in Zentralasien scheint so eindeutig und kohärent zu sein, dass es häufig auch auf frühere Epochen in der Geschichte der Region übertragen wird.

In diesem Artikel soll anhand von der tadschikischen Sprache und Nation exemplarisch gezeigt werden, wie das traditionelle Primat der regionalen und sozialen Identitäten durch die Kriterien der Sprache und der sprachlichen Einheit verdrängt und schließlich wie die nationale Geschichtsschreibung von diesem Perspektivenwechsel beeinflusst wurde.

description: We study mirror symmetry for orbifold Hurwitz numbers. We show that the Laplace transform of orbifold Hurwitz numbers satisfy a differential recursion, which is then proved to be equivalent to the integral recursion of Eynard and Orantin with spectral curve given by the r-Lambert curve. We argue that the r-Lambert curve also arises in the infinite framing limit of orbifold Gromov-Witten theory of [C3/(Z/rZ)]. Finally, we prove that the mirror model to orbifold Hurwitz numbers admits a quantum curve.

title: Rétrospective sur 15 ans d’évaluations de l’hygiène des mains au sein d’un réseau
Creators: name: Miquel, Chantal

description: Introduction. Depuis 1999, les établissements de santé (ES) des Pyrénées-Orientales se sont fédérés autour d’un réseau : le réseau intercomités de lutte contre les infections nosocomiales (Clin) 66. Au sein de celui-ci, les hygiénistes ont développé de multiples actions communes, dont l’évaluation de l’hygiène des mains (HDM). Cette évaluation est réalisée depuis 15 ans (périodicité annuelle puis bisannuelle). Méthodes. L’évaluation de l’HDM est effectuée sur la base d’une observation directe des agents pendant leur activité, à partir d’une grille d’audit élaborée par un groupe de travail, et actualisée par celui-ci à chaque évaluation puis validée par le réseau. Résultats. Les évaluations, réalisées successivement sur 15 années, ont montré : que le respect des prérequis à l’HDM était passé de 44,6% en 2002 à 78% en 2016 ; et, concernant les techniques d’HDM, que le recours à la désinfection par friction avec un produit hydro-alcoolique (PHA) était passé de 19% en 2006 à 38,4% en 2016, et que la conformité de la technique de désinfection par friction était de 66,5 % pour la durée et de 67,9% pour la gestuelle en 2016. Conclusion. On note une nette amélioration des prérequis à l’HDM, une évolution des techniques marquée par une progression dans l’utilisation des PHA ; en revanche la technique d’utilisation de ceux-ci n’est pas encore totalement maîtrisée. Malgré cette nette progression des résultats, les évaluations de l’HDM au sein du réseau vont se poursuivre puisque des freins persistent encore.

description: A photometric and spectral study of the variable star V2494 Cyg in the L 1003 dark cloud is presented. The brightness of the star, formerly known as HH 381 IRS, increased by 2.5 mag in R (probably in the 1980s) and since then has remained nearly constant. Since the brightness increase, V2494 Cyg has illuminated a bipolar cometary nebula. The stellar spectrum has several features typical of the FU Ori type, plus it exhibits very strong Halpha and forbidden emission lines with high-velocity components. These emission lines originate in the HH jet near the star. The kinematic age of the jet is consistent with it forming at the time of the outburst leading to the luminosity increase. V2494 Cyg also produces a rather extended outflow; it is the first known FUor with both an observed outburst and a parsec-sized HH flow. The nebula, illuminated by V2494 Cyg, possesses similar morphological and spectral characteristics to Hubble's Variable Nebula (R Monocerotis/NGC 2261).

description: We propose a continuous wavelet transform based non-parametric foreground subtraction method for the detection of redshifted 21 cm signal from the epoch of reionization. This method works based on the assumption that the foreground spectra are smooth in frequency domain, while the 21 cm signal spectrum is full of saw-tooth-like structures, thus their characteristic scales are significantly different. We can distinguish them in the wavelet coefficient space easily and perform the foreground subtraction. Compared with the traditional spectral fitting based method, our method is more tolerant to complex foregrounds. Furthermore, we also find that when the instrument has uncorrected response error, our method can also work significantly better than the spectral fitting based method. Our method can obtain similar results with the Wp smoothing method, which is also a non-parametric method, but our method consumes much less computing time.

description: We formalize the notion of sampling a function using k-d darts. A k-d dart is a set of independent, mutually orthogonal, k-dimensional subspaces called k-d flats. Each dart has d choose k flats, aligned with the coordinate axes for efficiency. We show that k-d darts are useful for exploring a function's properties, such as estimating its integral, or finding an exemplar above a threshold. We describe a recipe for converting an algorithm from point sampling to k-d dart sampling, assuming the function can be evaluated along a k-d flat. We demonstrate that k-d darts are more efficient than point-wise samples in high dimensions, depending on the characteristics of the sampling domain: e.g. the subregion of interest has small volume and evaluating the function along a flat is not too expensive. We present three concrete applications using line darts (1-d darts): relaxed maximal Poisson-disk sampling, high-quality rasterization of depth-of-field blur, and estimation of the probability of failure from a response surface for uncertainty quantification. In these applications, line darts achieve the same fidelity output as point darts in less time. We also demonstrate the accuracy of higher dimensional darts for a volume estimation problem. For Poisson-disk sampling, we use significantly less memory, enabling the generation of larger point clouds in higher dimensions.

L'approche quantitative est basée sur plusieurs centaines de pièces. Entre autres, les listes de personnages seront comparées, pour examiner des tendances d'évolution diachronique par langue et par sous-genre concernant l'univers social dépeint par les piéces et conflits possibles. L'approche est inédite pour comparer la tradition alsacienne avec les traditions majeures qui l'entourent et vise à contribuer à une histoire littéraire plus variée et précise.
Functional data analysis in an operator-based mixed-model framework

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: Functional data analysis in a mixed-effects model framework is done using operator calculus. In this approach the functional parameters are treated as serially correlated effects giving an alternative to the penalized likelihood approach, where the functional parameters are treated as fixed effects. Operator approximations for the necessary matrix computations are proposed, and semi-explicit and numerically stable formulae of linear computational complexity are derived for likelihood analysis. The operator approach renders the usage of a functional basis unnecessary and clarifies the role of the boundary conditions.

description: Der Beitrag gibt als Kapiteleinführung einen Überblick zu Praktiken des Katalysierens im Kontext von Entwerfen und Forschen in Architektur und Landschaftsarchitektur. Im Verständnis einer förderlichen und unterstützend wirksam werdenden Einflussnahme wird Katalysieren als Schaffen von Rahmenbedingungen für neues Wissen, neue Entwurfsqualitäten und neue Forschungsfragen diskutiert. Katalytische Kapazitäten in der Mischung von Entwerfen und Forschen werden vor allem im performativen Zusammenhang von handelnden Individuen und der Wahrnehmung, sowie in der Erzeugung von Wissen zu Prozess-, Vermittlungs- und Gestaltungsqualitäten und anthropologischen Wirkungsräumen gesehen. In den zusammengefassten Artikelbeiträgen werden daraus folgend die Entwicklung von Entscheidungskompetenz in komplexen Prozessen, die Fähigkeit qualitativer Wertung sowie die Mischung aus antizipatorischen und kommunikativen Praktiken als Möglichkeit zur Positionierung zum eigenen Schaffen sowie zu kulturellen Konditionen hervorgehoben.
description: The chapter introduction gives an overview of the practices of catalyzing in the context of design and research in architecture and landscape architecture. In the understanding of a beneficial and supportive influence, catalysis is discussed as creating framework conditions for new knowledge, new design qualities and new research questions. Catalytic capacities in the mixture of design and research are seen above all in the performative context of acting individuals and perception, as well as in the generation of knowledge about process, mediation and design qualities and anthropological spheres of activity. In the summarized articles, the development of decision-making competence in complex processes, the ability to assess qualitative ratings and the mix of anticipatory and communicative practices as a way of positioning one's own creativity and cultural conditions are highlighted.
Magnetism of CuX2 frustrated chains (X = F, Cl, Br): the role of covalency

description: Periodic and cluster density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, including DFT+U and hybrid functionals, are applied to study magnetostructural correlations in spin-1/2 frustrated chain compounds CuX2: CuCl2, CuBr2, and a fictitious chain structure of CuF2. The nearest-neighbor and second-neighbor exchange integrals, J1 and J2, are evaluated as a function of the Cu-X-Cu bridging angle, theta, in the physically relevant range 80-110deg. In the ionic CuF2, J1 is ferromagnetic for theta smaller 100deg. For larger angles, the antiferromagnetic superexchange contribution becomes dominant, in accord with the Goodenough-Kanamori-Anderson rules. However, both CuCl2 and CuBr2 feature ferromagnetic J1 in the whole angular range studied. This surprising behavior is ascribed to the increased covalency in the Cl and Br compounds, which amplifies the contribution from Hund's exchange on the ligand atoms and renders J1 ferromagnetic. At the same time, the larger spatial extent of X orbitals enhances the antiferromagnetic J2, which is realized via the long-range Cu-X-X-Cu paths. Both, periodic and cluster approaches supply a consistent description of the magnetic behavior which is in good agreement with the experimental data for CuCl2 and CuBr2. Thus, owing to their simplicity, cluster calculations have excellent potential to study magnetic correlations in more involved spin lattices and facilitate application of quantum-chemical methods.
