description: Bibliotheken sind längst zentrale Akteure der Digitalisierung Von Annette Strauch "All countries need to review their strategies now", sagte Dr. Michael J. Ryan, Mitglied der WHO Informal Advisory Group, als die Pandemie ausbrach. Übertragen auf die Arbeit in Bibliotheken und für Veranstaltungen im Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) der Stiftung Universität Hildesheim (SUH) konnte man also sagen: „All libraries need to review their strategies now.“ Schnell suchten wir in der Universitätsbibliothek nach einer Möglichkeit, Veranstaltungen zum Forschungsdatenmanagement auch digital vom Homeoffice aus durchzuführen. Schon der Weg zum Campus stellt ja ein potentielles Risiko dar. Es wäre einfach gewesen, die schon geplanten Veranstaltungen für das Sommersemester einfach abzusagen. Doch wir entschieden uns für den schwierigeren Weg. Wir suchten den digitalen Ort für die Präsentation und für den Austausch. https://www.ehstoday.com/health/media-gallery/21126031/8-quotes-from-the-world-health-organizations-covid19-media-briefing (30.06.2020)
Beyond the Beethoven Model: Sentence Types and Limits
Creators: name: Shea, Matthew Bailey
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2004
Subjects: Music

description: It is quite likely that no other form in the history of Western music theory
has been so strongly associated with a single musical example as the sentence.
Most forms are not defined by a single locus classicus - no one piece
serves as the ultimate paradigm of sonata form, no single phrase represents
the virtual embodiment of the period. When it comes to the sentence, however,
one example is consistently privileged above all others: Beethoven's
Piano Sonata in F Minor, op. 2, no.1, first movement, bars 1-8 (ex. I).
The most obvious reason that this example is so favored is that Arnold
Schoenberg himself used it as the primary exemplar of the form.!
(Schoenberg, of course, "discovered" the sentence.) Since then, nearly every
theorist who has written about the sentence has mentioned the Beethoven
theme as a model example.2 It would be inaccurate, however, to assume that
theorists continue to emphasize this example simply because Schoenberg
used it first. After all, the theme does provide an excellent example of many
standard sentence features. Bars 1-4 contain a common tonic-dominant
alternation-what William Caplin refers to as "statement-response repetition"
(1998:37-39). The continuation includes typical features such as
motivic fragmentation and acceleration of harmonic rhythm, and the sentence
concludes with a conventional half-cadence. The overall metric grouping,
moreover, is the usual 2+2+4, and the continuation contains a typical
embedded grouping of 1 + 1 + 2.
Yet when we consider how theorists have written about this theme, it
becomes clear that the example is not privileged because of these generic
qualities alone.

description: In the crystal growth of transition metal dichalcogenides by the Chemical Vapor Transport method (CVT), the choice of the transport agent plays a key role. We have investigated the effect of various chemical elements and compounds on the growth of TiSe2, MoSe2, TaS2 and TaSe2 and found that pure I2 is the most suitable for growing TiSe2, whereas transition metal chlorides perform best with Mo- and Ta- chalcogenides. The use of TaCl5 as a transport agent in the CVT process allows to selectively growth either polymorph of TaS2 and TaSe2 and the optimum growth conditions are reported. Moreover, by using TaCl5 and tuning the temperature and the halogen starting ratio, it was possible to grow whiskers of the compounds TaS2, TaSe2, TaTe2, TaS3 and TaSe3.

ELLIPSE - General Project Presentation
Creators: name: ELLIPSE Consortium
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: ELLIPSE will produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) – natural biodegradable polyesters – using significant, locally available and renewable waste streams: slaughterhouse waste, paper and pulp sludge. This waste will be processed with other organic waste such as glycerol from the biodiesel industry and sludge from the dairy industry to make agricultural products and packaging for personal care products. 
The project will make it possible to reduce volumes of landfilled waste by using anaerobic digestion instead. This will translate into increased water reuse and prevention of soil degradation, pollution and methane emissions. It will also create opportunities for the production of new platform chemicals and bio-plastics and generate revenue for the industries producing the waste.
Deceptive development and democratization: stadium construction and securitization in the FIFA world cup host countries of South Africa and Brazil

Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: The past few decades has seen increasing attention given toward mega sporting events in
the context of development. As countries, especially in developing regions of the world,
strive to enhance their political, economic, and social standing, hosting mega events is
viewed as an opportune path to growth. However, this view often does not take into consideration
how fall-out, particularly for local communities, affects a country's overall experience
with the event it hosts. The question I pose to test these two competing views of
mega event hosting is the following: are mega-sporting events, specifically the FIFA World
Cup, a viable avenue for furthering development and democratization? I examine the dual
processes of stadium development and securitization for the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World
Cups to answer this question, and argue that the neoliberal governance that drives FIFA
World Cup securitization and stadium construction results in significant consequences
for local development and compromises democratization for developing host countries.
The Age and The Mass of The αHerculis Triple-Star System From A MESA Grid of rotating stars with 1.3 <= M/Msun <= 8.0

description: α^1 Her is the second closest Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star to the Sun, and the variable luminous M5 Ib-II member of a triple stellar system containing G8 III and A9 IV-V components. However, the mass of this important star was previously uncertain with published values ranging from ~2 - 15 Msun. As shown by this study, its fortuitous membership in a nearby resolved triple star system, makes it possible to determine its fundamental properties including its mass and age. We present over twenty years of VRI photometry of α^1 Her as well as Wing intermediate-band near-IR TiO and NIR continuum photometry. We introduce a new photometry-based calibration technique, and extract the effective temperature and luminosity of α^1 Her, in agreement with recent interferometric measures. We find, Teff=3280 +/- 87 K and log(L/Lsun)=3.92 +/- 0.14. With the MESA code, we calculate a dense grid of evolutionary tracks for Galactic low- to intermediate-mass (1.3 to 8 Msun) rotating stars from the pre-main sequence phase to the advanced AGB phase. We include atomic diffusion and rotation mechanisms to treat the effects of extra elemental mixing. Based on the observed properties of the αHerculis stars, we constrain the age of the system to lie in the range 0.41 to 1.25 Gyr. Thus, the mass of α^1 Her lies in the range 2.175 <= M/Msun <= 3.250. We compare our model-based age inference with recent tracks of the Geneva and STAREVOL codes, and show their agreement. In the prescribed mass range for α^1 Her, the observed 12C/13C and 16O/17O ratios are consistent (within 2σ) with the ratios predicted by the MESA, Geneva and STAREVOL codes.

description: Ground for Growth organized a networking event that took place on the 28th off November 2019 in Helsinki, Tieteiden talo. Various actors from pulse-based value chains attended the event. This included representatives from research institutes, universities, extension services, food and plant breeding companies and processors. The event started with a suite of presentations from different experts: Independent pulse-expert Kirsi Kaikkonen gave a short presentation on plant proteins in the value chain, in which she stressed that the development of faba beans and peas should not lag behind soybeans Georg Carlsson from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, spoke about the grain legume situation in Sweden and said that Finland is many ways ahead of Sweden in product development Stefan Bäckman from the University of Helsinki, shared his experiences on the profitability of grain legumes at farm level Casimir Schauman from the University of Helsinki, presented Legumes Translated. He stated that the project is an opportunity to share knowledge and expertise with various value chain actors from Europe. He also stated, that it is also a coordinated effort to promote an EU-wide transition to increase legume production and consumption. Jouko Riihimäki from Jalofoods and Casimir Schauman introduced the topic of establishing an association focussed on pulses/legumes in Finland by taking inspiration from other legume associations that are currently active in Europe. The event ended with a workshop with the aim to discuss how collaboration between various value chain actors can be improved in Finland.

description: Pinning of dislocations at nanosized obstacles like precipitates, voids and bubbles, is a crucial mechanism in the context of phenomena like hardening and creep. The interaction between such an obstacle and a dislocation is often explored at fundamental level by means of analytical tools, atomistic simulations and finite element methods. Nevertheless, the information extracted from such studies has not been utilized to its maximum extent on account of insufficient information about the underlying statistics of this process comprising a large number of dislocations and obstacles in a system. Here we propose a new statistical approach, where the statistics of pinning of dislocations by idealized spherical obstacles is explored by taking into account the generalized size-distribution of the obstacles along with the dislocation density within a three-dimensional framework. The application of this approach, in combination with the knowledge of fundamental dislocation-obstacle interactions, has successfully been demonstrated for dislocation pinning at nanovoids in neutron irradiated type 316-stainless steel in regard to both conservative and non-conservative motions of dislocations.

Tardive Syndromes are Rarely Reversible after Discontinuing Dopamine Receptor Blocking Agents: Experience from a University-based Movement Disorder Clinic

description: Background: Several studies have examined reversibility of tardive syndromes (TS), primarily in psychotic patients who are maintained on dopamine receptor blocking drugs. The results have varied widely. However, few have assessed remission rates after discontinuing the offending agents. This study evaluated reversibility of TS in patients who permanently withdrew the causative agent(s). We also examined for any possible clinical predictors of reversibility.

Methods: A retrospective cohort of 108 TS patients was studied. Most of the patients were not psychotic; most patients were being treated either for a mood disorder with atypical antipsychotics or for a gastrointestinal disturbance with metoclopramide. Patients were stratified on the basis of reversibility, and statistical tests were used for subgroup comparisons of relevant clinical variables. Logistic regression was undertaken to identify clinical variables predictive of reversibility.

Results: Only 13% of the cohort experienced reversibility of the TS, 2% without medical intervention. When stratified by reversibility, there were no significant differences in any study variables between subgroups. None of the study variables predicted reversibility in the logistic regression.

Discussion: Our study demonstrated a low remission rate for TS in a cohort of psychiatric and non-psychiatric patients seen in a movement disorder clinic after the offending agents were completely withdrawn. Such a finding has significant prognostic implications. It is possible that limitations of the retrospective design may have resulted in an underestimation. There is a clear need for prospective, multicenter, clinical trials in populations that can be safely withdrawn from dopamine receptor blocking agents so that true remission rates can be measured.

description: We investigate the α-decay of a spherical nucleus under the influence of an ultra-intense laser field for the case when the radius vector joining the center-of-masses of the α-particle and the daughter is aligned with the direction of the external field. The time-independent part of the α-daughter interaction is taken from elastic scattering compilations whereas the time-varying part describes the interaction between the decaying system with the laser field. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved numerically by appealing to a modified scheme of the Crank-Nicolson type where an additional first-order time derivative appears compared to the field-free case. The tunneling probability of the α-cluster, and derived quantities (decay rate, total flux) is determined for various laser intensities and frequencies for either continous waves or few-cycle pulses of envelope function F(t)=1. We show that in the latter case pulse sequences containing an odd number of half-cycles determine an enhancement of the tunneling probability compared to the field-free case and the continuous wave case. The present study is carried out taking as example the alpha decaying nucleus $^{106}$Te.

description: Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) is a key protocol in Apple's ecosystem used by over one billion iOS and macOS devices for device-to-device communications. AWDL is a proprietary extension of the IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standard and integrates with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for providing services such as Apple AirDrop. We conduct the first security and privacy analysis of AWDL and its integration with BLE. We uncover several security and privacy vulnerabilities ranging from design flaws to implementation bugs leading to a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack enabling stealthy modification of files transmitted via AirDrop, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks preventing communication, privacy leaks that enable user identification and long-term tracking undermining MAC address randomization, and DoS attacks enabling targeted or simultaneous crashing of all neighboring devices. The flaws span across AirDrop's BLE discovery mechanism, AWDL synchronization, UI design, and Wi-Fi driver implementation. Our analysis is based on a combination of reverse engineering of protocols and code supported by analyzing patents. We provide proof-of-concept implementations and demonstrate that the attacks can be mounted using a low-cost ($20) micro:bit device and an off-the-shelf Wi-Fi card. We propose practical and effective countermeasures. While Apple was able to issue a fix for a DoS attack vulnerability after our responsible disclosure, the other security and privacy vulnerabilities require the redesign of some of their services.

The Interaction Between Pathogenic Bacteria and Tissue Specific Host Response in Invasive Disease and Pathogenesis

description: Invasive bacterial disease is a major burden on healthcare worldwide. In serious cases, it can lead to lifelong morbidity or death. This thesis focuses on invasive diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, mainly covering pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis. For S. pneumoniae, I report its presence in the alveolar macrophages of healthy volunteers, and the presence of nasopharyngeal carriage not correlating with intracellular findings. Furthermore, I show that in the early stages of infection in an ex vivo human spleen perfusion, pneumococcal foci of intracellular bacteria increase as time progresses and that anti-pneumococcal IgG can be detected in collected perfusion samples. For E. coli, I explore the possibility of macrophage clearance as a correlate of protection in preclinical immunisation settings. The initial trial was insufficient to procure a protection phenotype, therefore leaving this hypothesis untested. In addition, I tested the viability of a neonatal meningitis pathogenesis in an adult mice model. The results suggest that using adult animals to study neonatal E. coli meningitis infections is a viable option. The resultant infection was further analysed through a quantitative analysis which revealed a clear preference by E. coli to invade endothelial cells in the perivascular spaces. Therefore, furthering the insights into host pathogen interactions of E. coli and S. pneumoniae.
Modeling statistical properties of the X-ray emission from aged Pulsar Wind Nebulae

description: The number of known PWNe has recently increased considerably, and the majority of them are now middle-age objects. Recent studies have shown a clear correlation of both X-ray luminosity and size with the PWN age, but fail in providing a thorough explanation of the observed trends. Here I propose a different approach to these effects, based on the hypothesis that the observed trends do not simply reproduce the evolution of a "typical" PWN, but are a combined effect of PWNe evolving under different ambient conditions, the leading parameter being the ambient medium density. Using a simple analytic approach, I show that most middle-age PWNe are more likely observable during the reverberation phase, and I succeed in reproducing trends consistent with those observed, provided that the evolution of the X-ray emitting electrons keeps adiabatic over the whole reverberation phase. As a direct consequence, I show that the X-ray spectra of older PWNe should be harder: also this is consistent with observations.

description: Some scholars suggest that Mexican culture in the wake of its bloody Mexican Revolution
was completely manufactured by the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) and
scholar José Vasconcelos for the sole purpose of creating a Gramscian political hegemony
and a cultural “common sense.” This article offers a different, more pluralistic, understanding
of the creation of Mexican national identity in the aftermath of the Mexican
Revolution. Indeed, average Mexicans created a cultural milieu that existed outside the
bounds set by the state. State-employed muralists disputed politics and the appropriate
role of state power in the new Mexican culture, while films of the Mexican Golden
Age, beginning in the 1930s, reflected conservative ideologies inconsistent with more
progressive, state-favored philosophies. Tourist materials and cookbooks, created for
American audiences, also tempered the cultural norms favored the PRI by casting them
as quaint or as kitsch, rather than as the full-fledged expression of an organizing ideology.
Post-transitional justice in Spain: passing the historic memory law

description: This paper traces the origins of the post-transitional justice efforts by the Spanish government
to recognize and offer reparations for the human rights crimes committed during
the Spanish Civil War and subsequent Franco dictatorship. After a delay of at least
thirty years, reparation legislation was enacted in 2007 with the passage of the Historical
Memory Law, which is regarded as one of Spain’s most ambitious measures to address its
past human rights violations. This thesis argues that three main factors encouraged the
Law’s passage. First, Spanish involvement in foreign social justice shined a spotlight on
Spain’s own unsettled past. Second, the maturation of a younger generation that did not
experience the worst years of the dictatorship turned public opinion in favor of reparation.
Finally, the Law was introduced under opportune political circumstances and encompassed
minimal reparations in order to receive the necessary congressional vote.

description: From the beginning of chaos research until today, the unpredictability of chaos has been a central theme. It is widely believed and claimed by philosophers, mathematicians and physicists alike that chaos has a new implication for unpredictability, meaning that chaotic systems are unpredictable in a way that other deterministic systems are not. Hence one might expect that the question 'What are the new implications of chaos for unpredictability?' has already been answered in a satisfactory way. However, this is not the case. I will critically evaluate the existing answers and argue that they do not fit the bill. Then I will approach this question by showing that chaos can be defined via mixing, which has not been explicitly argued for. Based on this insight, I will propose that the sought-after new implication of chaos for unpredictability is the following: for predicting any event all sufficiently past events are approximately probabilistically irrelevant.

description: Due to the increase in natural disasters in the past years, Disaster Response Organizations (DROs) are faced with the challenge of coping with more and larger operations. Currently appointed Information and Communications Technology (ICT) used for coordination and communication is sometimes outdated and does not scale, while novel technologies have the potential to greatly improve disaster response efficiency. To allow adoption of these novel technologies, ICT system designers have to take into account the particular needs of DROs and characteristics of International Disaster Response (IDR). This work attempts to bring the humanitarian and ICT communities closer together. In this work, we analyze IDR-related documents and conduct expert interviews. Using open coding, we extract empirical insights and translate the peculiarities of DRO coordination and operation into tangible ICT design requirements. This information is based on interviews with active IDR staff as well as DRO guidelines and reports. Ultimately, the goal of this paper is to serve as a reference for future ICT research endeavors to support and increase the efficiency of IDR operations.

description: This paper reexamines the hypothesis of a negative causal relationship between income
inequality and life expectancy. The relative income hypothesis has attracted the attention of
policymakers and may become a powerful argument in favor of government redistribution
of wealth. To test this claim, this paper draws on panel data from thirty-six countries over
eighteen years and employs a specific variable transformation to enable direct testing of the
relative income hypothesis from aggregate data. The conclusion of this analysis is that a negative
impact of income inequality on life expectancy cannot be empirically substantiated.

Implications of independence: an analysis of the relationship between energy independence and globalization in OECD nations
Creators: name: Gottesdiener, Ben
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: Dependence on foreign energy both constrains a state’s ability to act independently in
the international system and increases its vulnerability to other state and non-state actors.
Moreover, one of the major oil-supplying regions, the Middle East, continues to be
extremely politically unstable, further contributing to the vulnerability associated with
dependence on foreign energy. Today, with many states refocusing political capital into
the goal of energy independence, it is increasingly important for scholars to understand
the consequences of energy independence upon state behavior. This study seeks to explain
how differing levels of energy independence affect a state’s level of global engagement.
I have quantified energy independence for the Organization of Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) countries in order to statistically analyze the possible
relationship between energy independence and political and economic globalization. To
the extent that global engagement provides states with some remedy to the vulnerability
linked to their energy dependence, I hypothesize that as countries are increasingly
energy independent, they are likely to be both increasingly politically and economically
disengaged in the international arena. The statistical analysis supports these hypotheses.
Continuity and change: women's representation in reform-era Chinese politics

description: This essay uses a mix of secondary literature, primary sources, and quantitative analysis
to offer a comprehensive account of the ebbs and flows in women’s representation in Chinese
politics during the reform (post-1978) era. The literature to date offers two conflicting
accounts of women’s representation during this era. Some scholars present the period
as a time of consistent decline; others present gains in representation levels from the
1990s onwards. This essay reconciles these two narratives for a unified account. It does so
by updating Jude Howell’s concept of “state feminism” in reform-era China to show how
state interests and civil society demands together determined women's participation levels
during this period. The concept of "state feminism" treats women's representation in
Chinese politics from 1949 to today as a reflection of state needs. Such a statecentric view
has fueled many of the "declinist" depictions of female representation in the reform era.
This essay affirms state feminism's dominant role in suppressing women's representation
through the mid-1990s. But it also shows how the state, by promoting economic development
and closing gender gaps in educational attainment, has had a moderately positive
impact on women's representation over the past two decades. During the same period,
civil society pressures have also emerged as a significant factor behind rising representation
levels. For this reason, accounts of women’s representation in Chinese politics today
must incorporate both state and non-state actors in their analyses as substantive influences.

description: Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) is a proprietary and undocumented IEEE 802.11-based ad hoc protocol. Apple first introduced AWDL around 2014 and has since integrated it into its entire product line, including iPhone and Mac. While we have found that AWDL drives popular applications such as AirPlay and AirDrop on more than one billion end-user devices, neither the protocol itself nor potential security and Wi-Fi coexistence issues have been studied. In this paper, we present the operation of the protocol as the result of binary and runtime analysis. In short, each AWDL node announces a sequence of Availability Windows (AWs) indicating its readiness to communicate with other AWDL nodes. An elected master node synchronizes these sequences. Outside the AWs, nodes can tune their Wi-Fi radio to a different channel to communicate with an access point, or could turn it off to save energy. Based on our analysis, we conduct experiments to study the master election process, synchronization accuracy, channel hopping dynamics, and achievable throughput. We conduct a preliminary security assessment and publish an open source Wireshark dissector for AWDL to nourish future work.
Interpreting Discontinuity in the Late Works of Debussy

description: Many writers have commented upon formal discontinuity in Debussy's
music. Robert Sherlaw Johnson compares this discontinuity to the collage
technique of Messiaen (1975:102-03); Robert Orledge describes it as mosaic
construction (1982:170); Roy Howat refers to it as a definable system of
block construction (1983:23n6); and Robert P. Morgan terms it additive
structure (1991:48). Yet these scholars were not the first to take note of disjunction
in Debussy's compositional style. Decades earlier, another group
of musicians similarly drew attention to Debussy's use of discontinuity. The
composers of the Darmstadt avant-garde in the 1950s and 1960s seized upon
Debussy's works to inspire and legitimize their own formal experiments.
Pierre Boulez, Herbert Eimert, Dieter Schnebel, and Karlheinz Stockhausen
all acknowledged their debt to Debussy with lectures, articles, recordings,
and concerts of his compositions. These composers focused on Debussy's
formal innovations in general and championed Debussy's last orchestral
work, the ballet Jeux (1913), in particular.
The present article draws upon many of the insights of the Darmstadt
composers to help isolate those features of Debussy's music that promote
discontinuity. By revisiting their commentary and incorporating it, whenever
feasible, into analyses of Debussy's works, I hope to achieve two objectives.
First, by cultivating an approach that valorizes discontinuity, I aim to
flesh out many of the observations and descriptions scholars have made
concerning Debussy's compositional style, a small selection of which was
cited in the opening paragraph. These writers all point to a conspicuous
feature of Debussy's music, one that became more pronounced in his final
works. While the Darmstadt composers perhaps overemphasized the role
of discontinuity with regard to Jeux, Debussy's subsequent compositions
are more in line with their commentary. For example, certain Preludes (1913)
and Etudes (1915), the Trois Poemes de Stephane Mallarme (1913), and the
central movements of the Cello Sonata (1915) and Violin Sonata (1917)
pursue formal discontinuity further, which becomes even more noticeable
in the smaller scope and sparser textures of these compositions.

description: Non-thermal X-ray emission from the shell of Cassiopeia A (Cas A) has been an interesting subject of study, as it provides information about relativistic electrons and their acceleration mechanisms in the shocks. Chandra X-ray observatory revealed the detailed spectral and spatial structure of this SNR in X-rays. The spectral analysis of Chandra X-ray data of Cas A shows unequal flux levels for different regions of the shell, which can be attributed to different magnetic fields in those regions. Additionally, the GeV gamma-ray emission observed by Large Area Telescope on board Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope showed that the hadronic processes are dominating in Cas A, a clear signature of acceleration of protons. In this paper we aim to explain the GeV-TeV gamma-ray data in the context of both leptonic and hadronic scenario. We modeled the multi-wavelength spectrum of Cas A. We use synchrotron emission process to explain the observed non-thermal X-ray fluxes from different regions of the shell. These result in estimation of the model parameters, which are then used to explain TeV gamma-ray emission spectrum. We also use hadronic scenario to explain both GeV and TeV fluxes simultaneously. We show that a leptonic model alone cannot explain the GeV-TeV data. Therefore, we need to invoke a hadronic model to explain the observed GeV-TeV fluxes. We found that although pure hadronic model is able to explain the GeV-TeV data, a lepto-hadronic model provides the best fit to the data.

description: Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) is a proprietary and undocumented wireless ad hoc protocol that Apple introduced around 2014 and which is the base for applications such as AirDrop and AirPlay. We have reverse engineered the protocol and explain its frame format and operation in our MobiCom '18 paper "One Billion Apples' Secret Sauce: Recipe of the Apple Wireless Direct Link Ad hoc Protocol." AWDL builds on the IEEE 802.11 standard and implements election, synchronization, and channel hopping mechanisms on top of it. Furthermore, AWDL features an IPv6-based data path which enables direct communication. To validate our own work, we implement a working prototype of AWDL on Linux-based systems. Our implementation is written in C, runs in userspace, and makes use of Linux's Netlink API for interactions with the system's networking stack and the pcap library for frame injection and reception. In our demonstrator, we show how our Linux system synchronizes to an existing AWDL cluster or takes over the master role itself. Furthermore, it can receive data frames from and send them to a MacBook or iPhone via AWDL. We demonstrate the data exchange via ICMPv6 echo request and replies as well as sending and receiving data over a TCP connection.
A View From Death: Ariadne auf Naxos as Failed Totality
Creators: name: Jenkins, Chadwick
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Music

description: Originating as a divertissement in Hugo von Hofmannsthal's adaptation of
Moliere's Ie Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Ariadne aufNaxos stemmed from the
poet's attempt to create a work wherein "the buffo element ... is throughout
interwoven with the heroic." As he explained it to his collaborator Richard
Strauss, the poet saw in this synthesis of opera seria and commedia dell' arte
elements a "new genre which to all appearances reaches back to a much
earlier one, just as all development goes in cycles" (Strauss and Hofmannsthal
1961:76). Embedded in Gentilhomme, the work reached back towards the
divertissements familiar in the comedie-ballets of Moliere's time while simultaneously
looking forward to a proto-postmodern aesthetic.
The question that has bedeviled numerous commentators has been
whether or not this synthesis is successful (and concomitantly, what constitutes
a success in this case). The opera's conclusion has given rise to the
most serious contentions (Forsyth 1982:194-203). On the one hand, those
who identify the opera with the postmodern tend to see the synthesis as
successful-a success predicated upon its perceived lack of cohesion, its tendency
towards the fragmentary, the incommensurable. On the other hand,
critics such as Karen Forsyth, concentrating on the historicism of the work,
condemn it as a failure. Forsyth, in particular, feels that the opera fails owing
to Hofmannsthal's inability to reconcile his reversion to lyric drama
with the divertissement structure of the original conception (1982:56-61).
However, such condemnation fails to consider the opera within the larger
context of Hofmannsthal's increasing concern with the ethicality of his aesthetic
project.

Collision parameters governing water delivery and water loss in early planetary systems

description: We investigate the distribution of encounter velocities and impact angles describing collisions in the habitable zone of the early planetary system. Here we present a catalogue of collision characteristics for a particular mass ratio of the colliding bodies and seven different planetesimal masses ranging from a tenth of Ceres' mass to 10 times the mass of the Moon. We show that there are virtually no collisions with impact speeds lower than the surface escape velocity and a similar velocity-impact angle distribution for different planetesimal masses if velocities are normalized using the escape velocity. An additional perturbing Jupiter-like object distorts the collision velocity and impact picture in the sense that grazing impacts at higher velocities are promoted if the perturber's orbit is close to the habitable zone whereas a more distant perturber has more the effect of a mere widening of the velocity dispersion.
