description: Soil surface covers may help to protect germinating turfgrass seeds from desiccation during field establishment and to reduce the frequency of watering, all of which could be beneficial in water-limited environments. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of shade netting as a soil surface cover for the establishment of hybrid Bermuda grass, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. 'Princess 77'. Four soil surface cover treatments were used (0, 25, 55, 73% shade netting), the material was pinned to the soil surface after sowing. In the first study, we investigated the effects of the different surface cover treatments on turfgrass establishment from seeds sown in pots with three different rooting media (soil; 1:1 sand/soil mixture; and sand). The second study investigated the effects of two soil surface cover removal times on turfgrass establishment in small field plots using the sand/soil mixture rooting medium. Observations included chlorophyll index, plant height, damage caused by removal of the surface covers, and percentage green cover determined by digital image analysis after removal of the surface covers. In the pot study, chlorophyll index and grass growth were highest for turfgrass established in the soil rooting medium and with use of the 55% shade netting surface cover. It was also observed that soil moisture loss during the day was significantly reduced by use of the soil surface covers except for turfgrass established in sand. In the field study, grass growth was better when the soil cover treatments were removed after one week than when removed after two weeks. Generally, damage to seedlings during the removal of the soil surface covers tended to be least for turfgrass established in the sand/soil mixture, with use of the lowest density (25%) shade netting surface cover and with removal of the shade netting after one week. The 55% shade netting surface cover appeared to be most suitable and it is recommended that this cover be removed at approximately one week after sowing.

description: Recently, the decline in water quality in the Upper Awash River Basin, Ethiopia, has been exacerbated by increasing industrialization, urbanization and agricultural activities. The aim of this study was to identify the major pollutants and their sources. To achieve the main objectives, the physicochemical qualities of 197 groundwater, 60 surface water (collected from ten different rivers), and 60 drinking water samples were analyzed using standard procedures. Also, sanitary data associated with the different drinking water supply systems were collected. Principal component analysis (PCA) and positive matrix factorization (PMF) modeling were used for data analysis. The present results showed that the most dominant hydrochemical water types were Na-HCO3 (65.0%) and Ca-HCO3 (32.5%) for groundwater, while Na-CO3 (35.0%), Na-HCO3 (13.3%) and Ca-CO3 (11.7%) were observed within the surface water. The results from sanitary assessment indicated that the drinking water supply systems were exposed to contamination with 66.7% from animal grazing, 61.7% from agricultural farming, and 40.0% from domestic waste. About 64% of surface water pollutants came from natural geological sources, with 29% from agriculture and 7% from other human activities. For groundwater, the contaminants were 63% from geological structure, 17% from agriculture, and 20% from other anthropogenic sources. Since agricultural and other anthropogenic activities contributed significantly toward water pollution in the study area, it needs to be addressed through appropriate domestic waste disposal and fertilizer management systems such as applying fertilizers in precise amounts to reduce runoff and leaching as well as establish vegetated buffer zones near water bodies to absorb excess nutrients.

description: Comparing the experiences of the 10 MIGNEX countries in the EU Migration Partnership, this paper maps the evolution of the EU’s external approach to migration, introduces and tests the conditionality–compensation nexus and presents a typology casting new light on diversity in EU migration partnerships.

Key Takeaways

Over the past two decades, the notion of migration partnerships has evolved into a complex patchwork of tools and instruments designed to help the EU govern migration.

The conditionality– compensation nexus introduced in this paper draws attention to power dynamics in EU migration partnerships.

Different factors influence the ways in which the conditionality- compensation nexus manifests in practice; some more subtle than others.

description: Motivated by recent theoretical arguments that expanding strings can be regarded as having a temperature that is inversely proportional to the proper time, tau, we investigate the consequences of adding a term proportional to 1/tau to the string tension in the Lund string-hadronization model. The lattice value for the tension, kappa0 ~ 0.18 GeV^2 ~ 0.9 GeV/fm, is then interpreted as the late-time/equilibrium limit. A generic prediction of this type of model is that early string breaks should be associated with higher strangeness (and baryon) fractions and higher fragmentation values. It should be possible to use archival ee data sets to provide model-independent constraints on this type of scenario, and we propose a few simple key measurements to do so.

description: We modeled the evolution of the Milky Way to trace the distribution in space and time of four prerequisites for complex life: the presence of a host star, enough heavy elements to form terrestrial planets, sufficient time for biological evolution and an environment free of life-extinguishing supernovae. We identified the Galactic habitable zone (GHZ) as an annular region between 7 and 9 kiloparsecs from the Galactic center that widens with time and is composed of stars that formed between 8 and 4 billion years ago. This GHZ yields an age distribution for the complex life that may inhabit our Galaxy. We found that 75% of the stars in the GHZ are older than the Sun.

description: In the petroleum industry, the removal of salt and water from the crude oil-brine emulsion is crucial for the subsequent stages of processing and refining. The dehydration and desalting are typically done in specialized and sizable equipment called electrodesalters. Improving the efficiency of an electrodesalter involves the capacity to accelerate the dehydration of the emulsion while ensuring a safe operation. This study demonstrates an improvement in separation through electric field modulation. The modulated waveform is composed of a high electric field step, succeeded by a low electric field step each lasting for two distinct time periods, and this sequence is then repeated. The primary objective of modulation lies in its ability to promote the clustering of drops during the high electric field period, succeeded by their effective coalescence in the low electric field period. The present work evaluates the efficacy of the technique for a tabletop portable bottle electrodesalter as well as a conventional tri-grid electrodesalter. The study is further extended to the emulsions formed by brine containing different salt concentrations. This establishes the commercial relevance of this technique while bringing out the role of brine conductivity and the desalter geometry specificity. The work conclusively establishes that the electric field modulation exhibits enhanced separation over an unmodulated scheme for both sunflower oil and crude oil emulsion systems. The specific values of electric field modulation parameters can change with the type of electrodesalter, temperature and brine concentration.

description: This paper proposes a novel and practical framework for safe flight envelope estimation and protection, in order to prevent loss-of-control-related accidents. Conventional analytical envelope estimation methods fail to function efficiently for systems with high dimensionality and complex dynamics, which is often the case for high-fidelity aircraft models. In this way, this paper develops a probabilistic envelope estimation method based on Monte Carlo simulation. This method generates a probabilistic estimation of the flight envelope by simulating flight trajectories with extreme control effectiveness. It is shown that this method can significantly reduce the computational load compared with previous optimization-based methods and guarantee feasible and conservative envelope estimation of no less than seven dimensions. This method was applied to the Innovative Control Effectors aircraft, an overactuated tailless fighter aircraft with complex aerodynamic coupling between control effectors. The estimated probabilistic flight envelope is used for online envelope protection by a database approach. Both conventional state-constraint-based and novel predictive probabilistic flight envelope protection systems were implemented on a multiloop nonlinear dynamic inversion controller. Real-time simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework can protect the aircraft within the estimated envelope and save the aircraft from maneuvers that otherwise would result in loss of control.

description: Imports of plant propagative material (PM) may present a phytosanitary risk in two ways: 1) by introducing exotic plant pests associated with the PM, and 2) by introducing plants that themselves may become invasive. We found a high likelihood that pests, especially plant pathogens, are being spread between countries of the Greater Caribbean Region (GCR) through both legal and illegal movement of PM. Because of the relative ineffectiveness of visual inspection and the scarcity of diagnostic tests for pathogens, there is no easy solution to this problem. The PM pathway also leads to the spread of invasive plants in the GCR, where they cause considerable economic and environmental damage. Most invasive exotic plant species in the GCR were introduced on purpose. There are few safeguards in place to prevent this invasion from happening. Weed risk assessments and predictive weed screening tools may help mitigate this risk. This work was carried out in the framework of the CISWG Caribbean Pathway Analysis.

description: Structural and metabolic imaging are fundamental for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in oncology. Beyond the well-established diagnostic imaging applications, ultrasounds are currently emerging in the clinical practice as a noninvasive technology for therapy. Indeed, the sound waves can be used to increase the temperature inside the target solid tumors, leading to apoptosis or necrosis of neoplastic tissues. The Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) technology represents a valid application of this ultrasound property, mainly used in oncology and neurology. In this paper; patient safety during MRgFUS treatments was investigated by a series of experiments in a tissue-mimicking phantom and performing ex vivo skin samples, to promptly identify unwanted temperature rises. The acquired MR images, used to evaluate the temperature in the treated areas, were analyzed to compare classical proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift techniques and referenceless thermometry methods to accurately assess the temperature variations. We exploited radial basis function (RBF) neural networks for referenceless thermometry and compared the results against interferometric optical fiber measurements. The experimental measurements were obtained using a set of interferometric optical fibers aimed at quantifying temperature variations directly in the sonication areas. The temperature increases during the treatment were not accurately detected by MRI-based referenceless thermometry methods, and more sensitive measurement systems, such as optical fibers, would be required. In-depth studies about these aspects are needed to monitor temperature and improve safety during MRgFUS treatments.

description: Although we might expect negative effects of involuntary immobility on development, we find evidence to the contrary. In general, individuals with strong aspirations to migrate but limited ability to do so are more active in searching for jobs, more active in their community and more likely to participate in protests.

Key Takeaways

Contrary to expectations, individuals with strong migration aspirations but limited mobility opportunities exhibit higher levels of economic and social initiative. 

Individuals who expect to migrate within the next five years and are dissatisfied with their current work are less inclined to seek new work.

Unfulfilled migration aspirations influence political engagement to a limited extent, with a stronger impact observed in participation in protests as opposed to voting.
Mixing layer and turbulent jet flow in a Hele--Shaw cell

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: A plane turbulent mixing in a shear flow of an ideal homogeneous fluid confined between two relatively close rigid walls is considered. The character of the flow is determined by interaction of vortices arising at the nonlinear stage of the Kelvin--Helmholtz instability development and by turbulent friction. In the framework of the shallow water theory and a three-layer representation of the flow, one-dimensional models of a mixing layer are proposed. The obtained equations allow one to determine averaged boundaries of the region of intense fluid mixing. Stationary solutions of the governing equations are constructed and analysed. Using the averaged flow characteristics obtained by one-dimensional equations, a hyperbolic system for determining the velocity profile and Reynolds shear stress across the mixing layer is derived. Comparison with the experimental results of the evolution of turbulent jet flows in a Hele--Shaw cell shows that the proposed models provide a fairly accurate description of the average boundaries of the region of intense mixing, as well as the velocity profile and Reynolds shear stress across the mixing layer.

description: Recently, the Spitzer Space Telescope discovered L1014-IRS, a mid-infrared source with protostellar colors, toward the heretofore "starless" core L1014. We present deep near-infrared observations that show a scattered light nebula extending from L1014-IRS. This nebula resembles those typically associated with protostars and young stellar objects, tracing envelope cavities presumably evacuated by an outflow. The northern lobe of the nebula has an opening angle of ~100 degrees, while the southern lobe is barely detected. Its morphology suggests that the bipolar cavity and inferred protostellar disk is not inclined more than 30 degrees from an edge-on orientation. The nebula extends at least 8" from the source at Ks, strongly suggesting that L1014-IRS is embedded within L1014 at a distance of 200 pc rather than in a more distant cloud associated with the Perseus arm at 2.6 kpc. In this case, the apparently low luminosity of L1014-IRS, 0.090 Lsun, is consistent with it having a substellar mass. However, if L1014-IRS is obscured by a circumstellar disk, its luminosity and inferred mass may be greater. Using near-infrared colors of background stars, we investigate characteristics of the L1014 molecular cloud core. We determine a mass of 3.6 Msun for regions of the core with Av > 2 magnitudes. A comparison of the radial extinction profile of L1014 with other cores suggests that L1014 may be among the most centrally condensed cores known, perhaps indicative of the earliest stages of brown dwarf or star formation processes.

description: Coronaviruses are a large family of zoonotic RNA viruses, whose infection can lead to mild or lethal respiratory tract disease. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-1 (SARS-CoV-1) first emerged in Guangdong, China in 2002 and spread to 29 countries, infecting 8089 individuals and causing 774 deaths. In 2012, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) emerged in Saudi Arabia and has spread to 27 countries, with a mortality rate of ~34%. In 2019, SARS-CoV-2 emerged and has spread to 220 countries, infecting over 100,000,000 people and causing more than 2,000,000 deaths to date. These three human coronaviruses cause diseases of varying severity. Most people develop mild, common cold-like symptoms, while some develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The success of all viruses, including coronaviruses, relies on their evolved abilities to evade and modulate the host anti-viral and pro-inflammatory immune responses. However, we still do not fully understand the transmission, phylogeny, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-1 and -2. Despite the rapid application of a range of therapies for SARS-CoV-2, such as convalescent plasma, remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine and type I interferon, no fully effective treatment has been determined. Remarkably, COVID-19 vaccine research and development have produced several offerings that are now been administered worldwide. Here, we summarise an up-to-date understanding of epidemiology, immunomodulation and ongoing anti-viral and immunosuppressive treatment strategies. Indeed, understanding the interplay between coronaviruses and the anti-viral immune response is crucial to identifying novel targets for therapeutic intervention, which may even prove invaluable for the control of future emerging coronavirus.

description: We consider a microscopic theory for the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR). We generally formulate a spin conductance at an interface between a normal metal and a magnetic insulator in terms of spin susceptibilities. We reveal that SMR is composed of static and dynamic parts. The static part, which is almost independent of the temperature, originates from spin flip caused by an interfacial exchange coupling. However, the dynamic part, which is induced by the creation or annihilation of magnons, has an opposite sign from the static part. By the spin-wave approximation, we predict that the latter results in a nontrivial sign change of the SMR signal at a finite temperature. In addition, we derive the Onsager relation between spin conductance and thermal spin-current noise.

Elucidation of the interaction between soy protein isolate and simulated beef flavour
Creators: name: Moon, Soo Yeun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The objective of this research was to explore interactions between aroma compounds in simulated beef flavour (SBF) and soy protein isolate (SPI) that may be involved in the suppression of beefy notes in SBF by SPI. A sensitive and reproducible headspace solid phase microextraction (HSSPME) was established to isolate volatile compounds in SBF for analysis by gas chromatography (GC). Volatile and odour-active compounds in SBF were qualitatively evaluated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) using detection frequency method, respectively. A total of 70 compounds were tentatively identified including three furans, six S-heterocyclic compounds, ten N-heterocyclic compounds, six aldehydes, three alcohols, and two esters. Of 49 volatile compounds detected in the sniffing port of GC-O, the most odour-active included 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, delta-3-carene, alphaterpinene, 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylpyrazine, and several unidentified odourants. Descriptive analysis (DA) along with GC analysis was conducted to investigate changes in SBF aroma characteristics upon addition of SPI. Five attributes (beefy, roasted, yeasty, soymilk-like and cereal) were selected to assess various mixtures of SBF and SPI. The results from DA confirmed that "roasted", "beefy" and "yeasty" notes were highly positively correlated with SBF concentration, and the beefy related notes were substantially suppressed by increasing SPI content. Fifteen peaks from GC analysis were selected as indicator peaks to represent beef attribute in the mixtures of SPI and SBF. Changes in the release of beefy aroma components of SBF by addition of ingredients (glucosamine, sucrose, ascorbic acid, and/or polyethylene glycol) to SPI and the changes in SPI protein structure induced by the ingredients were investigated. The reduction of disulfide bonds, increased surface hydrophobicity and increased unordered structure in SPI containing ascorbic acid alone or with polyethylene glycol, along with increased GC peak areas of indicator peaks in those SPI-SBF mixtures, were found to be associated with an increase in the perceived beef characteristic attributes in descriptive analysis. These results provide the basis for further research to elucidate strategies maximizing perception of beefy aroma in soy based products.

(Fig. 11)
 TYPE MATERIAL. — Laos. Khammouan Province, Ban Thongkha, Tham Non, cave, hand collection, 15.II.1998, leg. L. Deharveng & A. Bedos, holotype ♂ (MNHN CC159); paratypes 1 ♂, 3 ♀♀ (MNHN CC159).
 ETYMOLOGY. — To emphasize the sharp differences from the parapatric H. sulcostriata n. sp., as well as the numerous striae on the thoracic shield, among which only few cross the dorsum.
DIAGNOSIS. — Differs from congeners in some troglomorphic traits, combined with a high number of striae on the thoracic shield, among which only few cross the dorsum.
DESCRIPTION
Length 6.5-7.0 (♂) or 6.0- 7.8 mm (♀), width 3.4-4.0 (♂) or 3.2-4.2 mm (♀). Holotype 7.0 mm long and 4.0 mm wide.
Coloration nearly entirely pallid, but with marbled red-brown sides of head around Tömösváry’s organ and with blackish ocelli.
Antennomere 6 about 2 times longer than wide, antennomere 7 very short; 6 + 1 convex ocelli on each side of head; Tömösváry’s organ transverseoval, about twice as wide as long.
Collum with two transverse striae.
Thoracic shield with a very narrow hyposchism barely surpassing the caudal tergal contour; 10- 13 transverse striae, of which most start above the schism but only 3 (usually) or 4 (seldom, holotype), neither the first nor the last though, cross the dorsum.
Male pygidium virtually not sinuate medially at caudal margin.
Male leg 17 (Fig. 11A) with a modest, rounded, outer coxal lobe; telopodite 4-segmented.
Male leg 18 (Fig. 11B) with a broadly rounded syncoxital notch; telopodite 4-segmented.
Telopods (Fig. 11C) with a rather small, roundly subtriangular syncoxital lobe flanked by two setose horns crowned with a subapical setoid. Prefemur and, to a lesser degree, femur micropapillate laterally. Caudomedial outgrowth of femur wide at base, pilose on caudal surface; that of tibia with a pilose tubercle at base. Tarsus narrowly rounded apically.
REMARKS
 The relations of H. differens n. sp. are difficult to determine, as only few congeners, like H. electa in the sense of Attems (1938), show a small body size, combined with a high number of striae on the thoracic shield and a contrastingly low number of those that cross the dorsum. However, none of these other species possesses definite traits of troglomorphism, such as a completely unpigmented body and an only partly pigmented head. Based on this latter character alone, this new species can only be considered as a troglophile at most.

description: GCSI's mission is to strengthen the safeguarding system in the Greater Caribbean Region (GCR) by establishing partnerships with countries in the GCR to prevent, detect, and control existing and emerging plant pest threats. GCSI provides APHIS, PPQ and its partners in the GCR, the opportunity to establish a perimeter defense against the introduction of high risk plant pests into the GCR through collaborative efforts to harmonize quarantines, exclusion strategies and other safeguarding initiatives before they reach the borders of our nations. GCSI seeks to support the implementation of plant health safeguarding activities in the GCR. GCSI is committed to ensuring that all GCSI initiatives are successful and sustainable over the long term. The expansion of GCSI into a National Program demonstrates APHIS' commitment to food security and sustainability of plant health in the Region. The GCSI program is supported by a Florida GCSI Program Manager (based in the greater Miami) that provides coordination and communication among collaborators within Florida, PPQ's Eastern Region, and PPQ Headquarters to strengthen pest exclusion and agricultural quarantine inspection activities in Florida and the Eastern Region of the USA.

description: This paper describes methodology and findings of the Caribbean Pathway Analysis, a collaboration between the Caribbean Invasive Species Working Group (CISWG) and the United States Department of Agriculture, Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA-PPQ). The objective of this study was to contribute to an improved understanding of pathways of plant pest movement into and within the Greater Caribbean Region (GCR), thereby helping CISWG to enhance its Caribbean Regional Invasive Species Intervention Strategy (CRISIS) for preventing the introduction and spread of exotic pests. The pathways investigated in this study were: human movement, airline passenger baggage, international mail, maritime traffic, hitchhikers, wood packaging material, forestry, propagative materials, and natural spread. The relative importance of each pathway as a source of pest introduction was rated. The pest risk associated with human movement, hitchhikers, wood packaging materials, forestry, and propagative materials was rated as very high. The pest risk associated with airline passenger baggage, mail, and natural pest spread was rated as medium. None of the pathways assessed was rated as low-risk. The study resulted in approximately one hundred recommendations for improved safeguarding in the GCR. The complete report can be accessed online at: http://caribbean-doc.ncsu.edu/index.htm.
Minimal disks bounded by three straight lines in Euclidean space and trinoids in hyperbolic space

description: Following Riemann's idea, we prove the existence of a minimal disk in Euclidean space bounded by three lines in generic position and with three helicoidal ends of angles less than $π$. In the case of general angles, we prove that there exist at most four such minimal disks, we give a sufficient condition of existence in terms of a system of three equations of degree 2, and we give explicit formulas for the Weierstrass data in terms of hypergeometric functions. Finally, we construct constant-mean-curvature-one trinoids in hyperbolic space by the method of the conjugate cousin immersion.

Integrated-optic electrorefraction modulators
Creators: name: Ristic, Sasa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The large electroabsorption (EA) and electrorefraction (ER) effects that can be achieved in coupled quantum well (CQW) structures give these structures great potential for use in intensity, phase, and polarization modulators for future optical links. This thesis focuses on designing structures that will result in state-of-the-art performance of CQW-based modulators. In this thesis, a design for a push-pull polarization-modulation scheme is presented, and it requires placing multiple repetitions of two different CQW structures in the optical waveguide of the proposed polarization modulator. The main function of one of the two structures is to provide a large increase of the refractive index for the TM polarization, without a proportionate increase of the refractive index for the TE polarization. It is shown that this effect can be achieved by anticrossing light holes. The main function of the other structure is to provide a large decrease of the refractive index for the TE polarization, without a proportionate decrease of the refractive index for the TM polarization. It is shown that, although this effect can be efficiently achieved by anticrossing heavy holes, the CQW structures that achieve this effect by anticrossing electrons are less sensitive to the layer thickness and compositional variations that may be expected during the growth process. The large EA and ER effects in CQW structures are typically seriously compromised by the layer variations, and, it is shown in this thesis that decreasing the confinement of the anticrossing wave functions can decrease the sensitivities of the CQW structures to these variations. In addition, the very small confinement of light holes in the InGaAlAs-based material systems together with the small sensitivity of the light-hole band edge to the compositional variations, make the anticrossing of the light holes the most robust-to-growth and, therefore, the most promising mode of operation for CQW-based ER intensity, phase, and polarization modulators. The absorption spectra of the novel CQW structures designed in this thesis are obtained using the variational method for solving the 1S exciton equation in the effective-mass, envelope-function approximation, and the electric-field-induced refractive index changes are obtained using the Kramers-Kronig relations.

description: Editorial In Zeiten der Krise gibt es bei nicht wenigen Menschen die Tendenz, nach einfachen Antworten zu suchen, schnell die Ursachen für die schwierigen Umstände auszumachen oder gar die vermeintlichen Schuldigen an den Pranger zu stellen. Leider äußert sich dies auch in der derzeitigen weltweiten Krise der Pandemie, nämlich in judenfeindlichen Verschwörungsmythen und hasserfüllten, unhaltbaren Anschuldigungen gegenüber Jüdinnen und Juden. Insbesondere das digitale Netz, so Michael Blume, »befeuert« antisemitische Tendenzen, denen die Nutzer_innen auch in Mainstream-Seiten wieder verstärkt ausgesetzt sind. Die Zeitschrift für christlich-jüdische Begegnung im Kontext (ZfBeg) hält dagegen, ganz in der Tradition des ehemaligen Freiburger Rundbriefs – und zwar in vielfältiger Hinsicht, was auch in dieser Ausgabe sichtbar ist.

description: Das Buch ist 1967 erstmals erschienen und hat seither nichts von seiner Dringlichkeit und Zeitkritik verloren. Casper stellt vor allem im Exkurs zu Lévinas das dialogische Denken in den Kontext des gegenwärtigen christlich-muslimischen Gesprächs in Abwehr eines denkfaulen Fundamentalismus und in der Sicht der dialogischen Philosophie, die insgesamt eine gegenwärtige Schlüsselqualifikation des Überlebens ist: »…wir können nur überleben, wenn wir miteinander leben lernen « (S. 357). Miteinander leben heißt, auch miteinander sprechen und den anderen in seiner Anderheit (Martin Buber) aushalten, ertragen (S. 7). Das Buch beginnt mit Martin Bubers sog. vordialogischer Phase, geht über zu Franz Rosenzweig und Ferdinand Ebner. Daran schließt sich die Erörterung des dialogischen Denkens bei Buber an. Den Vergleich der drei dialogischen Philosophen beendet das Kapitel Ergebnisse in der ursprünglichen Ausgabe, die um Lévinas’ Modell des Daseins als Leibbürge für den Anderen ergänzt wird. Bubers vordialogische Phase (vor »Ich und Du« 1923) lässt sich als konzentrierte Rezeption des ostjüdischen Chassidismus in seinen Geschichten und seiner ekstatischen Religiosität charakterisieren (S. 18).

description: We consider a fixed angle inverse scattering problem in the presence of a known Riemannian metric. First, assuming a no caustics condition, we study the direct problem by utilizing the progressing wave expansion. Under a symmetry assumption on the metric, we obtain uniqueness and stability results in the inverse scattering problem for a potential with data generated by two incident waves from opposite directions. Further, similar results are given using one measurement provided the potential also satisfies a symmetry assumption. This work extends the results of [23,24] from the Euclidean case to certain Riemannian metrics.
