description: Im unternehmerischen Geschäftsverkehr ist die Verwendung von AGB üblich. Laut einer empirischen Untersuchung werden bei jedem fünften Vertrag im unternehmerischen Rechtsverkehr von beiden Vertragsparteien Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen (AGB) verwendet. Dabei kommt es häufig vor, dass die AGB kollidieren, denn die Vertragsbedingungen werden nur in den seltensten Fällen miteinander abgestimmt sein. Kommt es sodann in der Vertragsabwicklung zu Schwierigkeiten, gewinnen die AGB erheblich an Bedeutung. Dies Arbeit befasst sich mit den Fragen, ob trotz Kollision ein Vertrag wirksam zustande gekommen ist und welche AGB Vertragsinhalt geworden sind. Hierzu werden die bisherigen Rechtsansichten dargestellt, ein Vergleich mit anderen Rechtsordnungen vorgenommen und ein Ansatz erarbeitet, der sowohl rechtssicher als auch darstellbar ist. Abschließend wird geprüft, inwieweit sich die erarbeitete Lösung auf Sonderprobleme, wie das kaufmännische Bestätigungsschreiben und den Eigentumsvorbehalt, anwenden lässt und zu einer Lösung beiträgt.

Gymnothorax ocellatus

description: * Gymnothorax ocellatus (Agasssiz 1831) — Ocellated Moray
 Justification: Whiteman (2005:21 and 24) listed as hook & line bycatch based on one specimen of " Gymnothorax ocella [sic],Ocellated moray, " from the northeast end of St. Croix including Lang Bank.
 Distribution: Böhlke et al. (1989): WA (GA, VI, LA, WC, nSA, sSA)
 Remarks: Voucher specimens are required to confirm the above species record, which could have been based on G. conspersus. We provisionally accept the identification because there are confirmed records of G. ocellatus from the northern Virgin Islands. Böhlke et al. (1989:175) stated that this "is the most common moray taken by trawl in the Caribbean... in depths commonly ranging from 15 ─ 90 m. ” They also reported that a few specimens were taken by hook and line. All of the St. Croix hook and line fish listed by Whiteman (2005) are relatively shallow-water species, which agrees with the depth range of Gymnothorax ocellatus in contrast to the much deeper depths (> 200 m) commonly recorded for G. conspersus.

description: We present the results of N2H+(1-0) observations of 35 dense molecular cloud cores from the northern and southern hemispheres where massive stars and star clusters are formed. Line emission has been detected in 33 sources, for 28 sources detailed maps have been obtained. The optical depth of (23-12) component toward peak intensity positions of 10 sources is ~ 0.2-1. In total, 47 clumps have been revealed in 26 sources. Integrated intensity maps with aspect ratios < 2 have been fitted with a power-law radial distribution $r^{-p}$ convolved with the telescope beam. Mean power-law index is close to unity corresponding to the $\sim r^{-2}$ density profile provided N2H+ excitation conditions do not vary inside these regions. Line widths of the cores either decrease or stay constant with distance from the center. The ratio of rotational to gravitational energy is too low for rotation to play a significant role in the dynamics of the cores. A correlation between mean line widths and sizes of clumps has been found.

description: The "gravastar" picture developed by Mazur and Mottola is one of a very small number of serious challenges to our usual conception of a "black hole". In the gravastar picture there is effectively a phase transition at/ near where the event horizon would have been expected to form, and the interior of what would have been the black hole is replaced by a segment of de Sitter space. While Mazur and Mottola were able to argue for the thermodynamic stability of their configuration, the question of dynamic stability against spherically symmetric perturbations of the matter or gravity fields remains somewhat obscure. In this article we construct a model that shares the key features of the Mazur-Mottola scenario, and which is sufficiently simple for a full dynamical analysis. We find that there are some physically reasonable equations of state for the transition layer that lead to stability.

description: In this research we present a replication study of an earlier meta-analysis that investigated the effect of correctional education programs on recidivism. The original study did not correct for publication bias, so testing for and correcting for publication bias is the focus of this replication study. Our findings suggest that publication bias may have lead to a modest over-estimate of the positive effect of correctional education programs on recidivism rates in the original study, but after correcting for publication bias, the evidence that correctional education programs are cost-effective remains strong.

description: We report on the discovery of the near-IR transient of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030528 and its underlying host galaxy. The near-IR transient was first observed in JHKs with SofI at the 3.6m ESO-NTT 16hrs after the burst and later observations revealed a fading Ks-band afterglow. The afterglow nature was confirmed by Chandra observations which found the source to be a fading X-ray emitter. The lack of an optical afterglow and the early faintness in the near-IR (Ks>18.5 mag) place GRB 030528 in a parameter space usually populated by dark bursts. We find the host to be an elongated blue galaxy.

description: European agriculture continues to face a complex range of economic, environmental and social challenges, particularly so in the UK in the face of Brexit. Within this context of uncertainty, the stories or narratives of four Welsh sheep and beef farmers are analysed to develop an understanding of their critical decision making process and how this might impact on farm resilience. Narrative analysis enables researchers to gain an in depth understanding of the rationale surrounding farmer decision making when faced with change, uncertainty and risk and how farmers manage critical decision points in their farming businesses. This understanding is crucial not only for developing an understanding of the resilience attributes of family farming businesses but also for developing the tools and policy measures needed to support the UK agriculture sector going forward. The responses to risk and uncertainty identified in the study range from management changes in existing enterprises to maintain output (indicating robustness of the system), seeking out alternative sources of income to supplement the farm business (indicating adaptability) and changing the core of the farm business to something that is completely new (indicating transformability). Succession, either in its planning or after it has happened, is identified as a critical turning point affecting the future resilience of the farm businesses studied.

description: The research was carried out to compare the physical and chemical parameters of swamp and water buffalo milk collected from Senbari village in Trishal upazila under Mymensingh district. Results revealed that average colour, flavour and taste score of swamp and water buffalo milk differed (p<0.01) and the mean values were 91.10 ± 0.95 vs 87.50 ± 0.83, 96.30 ± 0.64 vs 86.10 ± 0.95 and 95.00 ± 0.00 vs 90.37 ± 2.32 for swamp and water buffalo respectively. The specific gravity of swamp buffalo milk (1.032 ± 0.00) slightly differed (p>0.05) with water buffalo milk (1.030 ± 0.00). Texture of all m;lk samples was normal. From chemical analyses it was observed that average fat, total solids (TS), solidsnot- fat (SNF) and protein content differed (p<0.01) and the mean values were 84.25 ± 0.25 vs 72.67 ± 0.58, 179.05 ± 0.35 vs 164.87 ± 0.02, 94.80 ± 0.15 vs 92.20 ± 0.1939 and 39.68 ± 0.06 vs 37.67 ± 0.26 g/kg for swamp and water buffalo respectively. However, no differences (p>0.05) were found among ash (7.13 ± 0.00 Vs 7.07 ± 0.02), acidity (0.164 ± 0.00 vs 0.155 ± 0.00), water (826.600 ± 5.55 vs 832.967 ± 0.06) and pH (6.52 ± 0.124 vs 6.37 ± 0.017) content of milk obtained from swamp and water buffalo. From these results it may me inferred that the quality of swamp buffalo milk is superior to water buffalo milk.

description: High resolution galaxy spectra contain much information about galactic physics, but the high dimensionality of these spectra makes it difficult to fully utilize the information they contain. We apply variational autoencoders (VAEs), a non-linear dimensionality reduction technique, to a sample of spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In contrast to Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a widely used technique, VAEs can capture non-linear relationships between latent parameters and the data. We find that a VAE can reconstruct the SDSS spectra well with only six latent parameters, outperforming PCA with the same number of components. Different galaxy classes are naturally separated in this latent space, without class labels having been given to the VAE. The VAE latent space is interpretable because the VAE can be used to make synthetic spectra at any point in latent space. For example, making synthetic spectra along tracks in latent space yields sequences of realistic spectra that interpolate between two different types of galaxies. Using the latent space to find outliers may yield interesting spectra: in our small sample, we immediately find unusual data artifacts and stars misclassified as galaxies. In this exploratory work, we show that VAEs create compact, interpretable latent spaces that capture non-linear features of the data. While a VAE takes substantial time to train (~1 day for 48000 spectra), once trained, VAEs can enable the fast exploration of large astronomical data sets.

description: The analgesic effects of organic extracts of Rue/la tuberosa using animal model like mice were studied. Four groups of mice (n=7) were taken in this study and test samples (250 mg/kg & 500 mg/kg), control (tween+water) and diclofenac-Na (25 mg/kg) were given orally by means of a feeding needle. A thirty minutes interval was given to ensure proper absorption of the administered substances. Then the writhing inducing chemical, acetic acid solution (3%) was administered intra peritonially to each of the animal of four groups. After an interval of fifteen minutes, which wos given for absorption of squirms (writhing) was counted for first 20 minutes. Ethanolic extract of RueIlia tuberosa has demonstrated significant reduction of writhing both at higher dose (500 mg/kg) and lower dose (250 mg/kg) comparative to that of a standard analgesic diclofenac- Na. Thus the crude ethanolic extract of Rueffia tuberosa has moderate antinociceptive effect comparative to that of a standard analgesic Diclofenac- Na.

Diagnosis of each of the clinical case was made on history obtained from the owner, clinical examination of the patients and the laboratory examination of the samples. Among goats, females (n=7006; 64.79%) constituted highest (n=7006;64.79%)in comparison to males(n=3809;35.21%). Gastro-intestinal (GI) parasitic infestation (n=1413; 13.07%), PPR (n=1405; 12.99%), pyrexia syndrome (n=1071; 9.90%), diarrhoeal diseases (n=1016; 9.39%) and pneumonia (n=992; 9.17%) were recorded as major clinical problems in goats. All the animals were subjected into 3 age groups i.e. 0 — 6 months, 7 — 12 months and above 12 months of age and the later age group constituted highest (n=4721; 43.65%). The overall prevalence rates of diseases and disorders in goats were found to be higher during winter (29.58%) and summer (26.71%) in comparison to autumn (20.68%) and spring (23.03%) months.

description: Interval graphs, intersection graphs of segments on a real line (intervals), play a key role in the study of algorithms and special structural properties. Unit interval graphs, their proper subclass, where each interval has a unit length, has also been extensively studied. We study mixed unit interval graphs---a generalization of unit interval graphs where each interval has still a unit length, but intervals of more than one type (open, closed, semi-closed) are allowed. This small modification captures a much richer class of graphs. In particular, mixed unit interval graphs are not claw-free, compared to unit interval graphs. Heggernes, Meister, and Papadopoulos defined a representation of unit interval graphs called the bubble model which turned out to be useful in algorithm design. We extend this model to the class of mixed unit interval graphs and demonstrate the advantages of this generalized model by providing a subexponential-time algorithm for solving the MaxCut problem on mixed unit interval graphs. In addition, we derive a polynomial-time algorithm for certain subclasses of mixed unit interval graphs. We point out a substantial mistake in the proof of the polynomiality of the MaxCut problem on unit interval graphs by Boyaci, Ekim, and Shalom (2017). Hence, the time complexity of this problem on unit interval graphs remains open. We further provide a better algorithmic upper-bound on the clique-width of mixed unit interval graphs. Clique-width is one of the most general structural graph parameters, where a large group of natural problems is still solvable in the tractable time when an efficient representation is given. Unfortunately, the exact computation of the clique-width representation is \NP-hard. Therefore, good upper-bounds on clique-width are highly appreciated, in particular, when such a bound is algorithmic.

description: An investigation on argulosis problem and aquaculture condition in Mymensingh area was conducted during the period of August 2004 to June 2005. In the study area, a total of 66 farms were selected for the study. General data were collected through a questionnaire interview from the owners of the farms. Majority of the farms were smaller (5-15 acres) in dize. Among the total fish farmers most of them were educated up to primary level. Mortality of fishes by argulosis was 10% in small farms and 5% in the larger farms. Majority of the farm owners showed their preference for culturing major carps. Mainly June, July and August were the most potential months for Argulus infestation. Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala were higher susceptible species for Argulosis. Preferable site of infestation on the host body is pectoral region. Brood fishes were more susceptible to Argulus infestation, due to weaker Physiological condition at the breeding season. Principal causes for Argulus infestation was the high stocking density, poor water quality and physical condition of the pond and lack of technical knowledge of the farmers. Most of the farmers used sumithion, dipterex, melathion against argulosis. Proper pond management could control argulosis in fish ponds of this region.

description: Spin Hall effect is the transverse flow of the electron spin in conductors under external electric field. Similarly, thermal gradient in magnetic insulators can drive a transverse flow of the spin angular momentum of magnons, which provides a thermal alternative for spin manipulation. Recently, the phonon angular momentum (PAM), which is the angular momentum of atoms as a result of their orbital motion around their equilibrium positions, has garnered attention as a quantity analogous to the magnon spin. However, can we manipulate PAM like magnon spin? Here, we show that temperature gradient generally induces a transverse flow of PAM, which we term the phonon angular momentum Hall effect (PAMHE). The PAMHE relies only on the presence of transverse and longitudinal acoustic phonons, and it is therefore ubiquitous in condensed matter systems. As a consequence of the PAMHE, PAM accumulates at the edges of a crystal. When the atoms in the crystal carry nonzero Born effective charge, the edge PAM induces edge magnetization, which may be observed through optical measurement. We believe that PAMHE provides a new principle for the manipulation of angular momenta in insulators and opens up an avenue for developing functional materials based on phonon engineering.

description: Granular packings of hard discs are investigated by means of contact dynamics which is an appropriate technique to explore the allowed force-realizations in the space of contact forces. Configurations are generated for given values of the friction coefficient, and then an ensemble of equilibrium forces is found for fixed contacts. We study the force fluctuations within this ensemble. In the limit of zero friction the fluctuations vanish in accordance with the isostaticity of the packing. The magnitude of the fluctuations has a non-monotonous friction dependence. The increase for small friction can be attributed to the opening of the angle of the Coulomb cone, while the decrease as friction increases is due to the reduction of connectivity of the contact-network, leading to local, independent clusters of indeterminacy. We discuss the relevance of indeterminacy to packings of deformable particles and to the mechanical response properties.

description: An experiment was conducted in laboratory and hapa, to observe the effect of 17 a-methyl testosterone on growth and sex-ratio of common carp, Cyprinus carpio var. communis (L.). Four treatments viz. Ti, T2, T3 and T4 having 0, 150, 200 and 250 mg 17 a-methyl testosterone respectively in per kg nursery feed Starter-I (SABINCo) were used for a period of 35 days in laboratory system. Then the hormone treated fish were again reared in experimental hapa and fed nursery feed Starter-III (SABINCo) for another 90 days for the maturation of their gonad. After termination of the experiment the sex of all the fish were identified with gonad squashing method to identify male, female and sterile Jishes. In terms of growth performances significantly higher (p<0.05) weight gain was found in T3 but there was rio significant variation in survival rate of C. carpio among the four treatments after 35 days of the experimentation. The highest percentage (74%) of male was observed in T3 compared to other treatments after 90 days of the experimentation. The results indicated that the oral adrninistration*of 17 a-methyl testosterone at the dose of 200 mg per kg feed could be effective for the masculinization and sterilization of common carp with higher growth.

description: Time-series data taken with the Hubble Space Telescope of a field six core radii (~5') from the center of the globular cluster Messier 4, and covering a period of about 10 weeks in early 2001, have been analyzed in search of variable objects. Various criteria were employed to select candidate variable stars. Period searches were performed on the selected candidates using phase dispersion minimization (PDM). The reliability of the PDM search results was tested using synthetic light curves of eclipsing binary stars and sinusoidal light curves of different periods. Results from this analysis showed that there are probably no eclipsing binary stars or periodic variables in our field with periods on the order of a few hours to a few days, down to limiting magnitudes of V~25 and I~24, which is consistent with the absence of contact binaries such as W Ursae Majoris systems. However, one candidate variable star does show an increase in brightness of ~0.1 magnitudes in both bandpasses, which seems to last for a few days. Possible explanations concerning the nature of this object include a binary system with a white dwarf primary and a low-mass main sequence secondary, or a BY Draconis variable star. We are able to set an upper limit to the observed fraction of photometric variability in this dataset of 0.05%.

description: LISA is considered to be launched alongside the Athena to probe the energetic astrophysical processes. LISA can determine the direction of sources for Athena's follow-up observation. As another space gravitational wave mission, TAIJI is expected to be launched in the 2030s. The LISA-TAIJI network would provide abundant merits for sources understanding. In this work, we simulate the joint LISA-TAIJI observations for gravitational waves from coalescing supermassive black hole binaries and monochromatic sources. By using the numerical mission orbits, we evaluate the performances of sky localization for various time-delay interferometry channels. For 30 days observation until coalescence, the LISA-TAIJI network in optimal operation can localize all simulated binary sources, $(10^7,\ 3.3 \times 10^6)\ M_\odot$, $(10^6,\ 3.3 \times 10^5)\ M_\odot$ and $(10^5,\ 3.3 \times 10^4)\ M_\odot$ at redshift $z=2$, in 0.4 deg$^2$ (field of view of Wide Field Imager on Athena). The angular resolution can be improved by more than 10 times comparing to LISA or TAIJI single detector at a given percentage of population. The improvements for monochromatic sources at 3 mHz and 10 mHz are relatively moderate in one-year observation. The precision of sky localization could be improved by around 1 to 3 times comparing to single LISA at a given percentage of sources. For a simulated 90 days observation for monochromatic waves, the LISA-TAIJI network still represents a considerable localization advantage which could be more than 10 times better.

description: To investigate the present geographical distribution and artificial breeding success of Puntius sarana data were collected from the fishermen of four selected open waterbodies (the Old Brahmaputra river of Mymensingh, the Kangsha river of Netrokona, the Sukhair Haor of Sunamganj and the Boira haor of Kishorganj district), fish consumers of four selected markets adjacent to the four selected open waterbodies and from the ten fish hatcheries of Mymensingh district region. The result of annual catches from four selected sites showed that the highest number of P. sarana were caught from the Sukhair haor followed by Boira haor, the .Kangsha and the Old Brahmaputra river. The fish market survey showed that the mean number of observation per person was highest in the Sukhair haor followed by the Boira haor, the Kangsha and the Old Brahmaputra river. To know the occurrences of artificial propagation, the survey was conducted among ten hatcheries and found that four hatcheries practiced artificial propagation but their average P. sarana fry production was very negligible (8.75%) compared to the production of fry of other species. The reported data from hatchery owners in response to inducing agent, fertilization rate, the hatching rate and survival rate of P. sarana were approximately 75, 67, 58 and 62%, respectively which was satisfactory indication for mass production of the species. The results suggested that the haor region of Sunamganj and Kishorganj district are the main resource of existing brood stocks. Necessary attempt should be taken for mass production of the species as well as conservation of its gene pool in Bangladesh.

description: Recent literature in the last Maximum Entropy workshop introduced an analogy between cumulative probability distributions and normalized utility functions. Based on this analogy, a utility density function can de defined as the derivative of a normalized utility function. A utility density function is non-negative and integrates to unity. These two properties form the basis of a correspondence between utility and probability. A natural application of this analogy is a maximum entropy principle to assign maximum entropy utility values. Maximum entropy utility interprets many of the common utility functions based on the preference information needed for their assignment, and helps assign utility values based on partial preference information. This paper reviews maximum entropy utility and introduces further results that stem from the duality between probability and utility.

description: We study the response to perturbation of non-Poisson dichotomous fluctuations that generate super-diffusion. We adopt the Liouville perspective and with it a quantum-like approach based on splitting the density distribution into a symmetric and an anti-symmetric component. To accomodate the equilibrium condition behind the stationary correlation function, we study the time evolution of the anti-symmetric component, while keeping the symmetric component at equilibrium. For any realistic form of the perturbed distribution density we expect a breakdown of the Onsager principle, namely, of the property that the subsequent regression of the perturbation to equilibrium is identical to the corresponding equilibrium correlation function. We find the directions to follow for the calculation of higher-order correlation functions, an unsettled problem, which has been addressed in the past by means of approximations yielding quite different physical effects.

description: Shock acceleration is an ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysical plasmas. Plasma waves and their associated instabilities (e.g., the Buneman instability, two-streaming instability, and the Weibel instability) created in the shocks are responsible for particle (electron, positron, and ion) acceleration. Using a 3-D relativistic electromagnetic particle (REMP) code, we have investigated particle acceleration associated with a relativistic jet front propagating through an ambient plasma with and without initial magnetic fields. We find only small differences in the results between no ambient and weak ambient magnetic fields. Simulations show that the Weibel instability created in the collisionless shock front accelerates particles perpendicular and parallel to the jet propagation direction. The simulation results show that this instability is responsible for generating and amplifying highly nonuniform, small-scale magnetic fields, which contribute to the electron's transverse deflection behind the jet head. The ``jitter'' radiation from deflected electrons has different properties than synchrotron radiation which is calculated in a uniform magnetic field. This jitter radiation may be important to understanding the complex time evolution and/or spectral structure in gamma-ray bursts, relativistic jets, and supernova remnants.

description: The results from deep long-slit spectroscopy of nine edge-on spiral galaxies with known extraplanar line emission are reported. Emission from Halpha, [N II] lambda 6548, 6583, and [S II] lambda 6716, 6731 is detected out to heights of a few kpc in all of these galaxies. Several other fainter diagnostic lines such as [O I] lambda 6300, [O III] lambda 4959, 5007, and He I lambda 5876 are also detected over a smaller scale. The relative strengths, centroids and widths of the various emission lines provide constraints on the electron density, temperature, reddening, source(s) of ionization, and kinematics of the extraplanar gas. In all but one galaxy, photoionization by massive OB stars alone has difficulties explaining all of the line ratios in the extraplanar gas. Hybrid models that combine photoionization by OB stars and another source of ionization such as photoionization by turbulent mixing layers or shocks provide a better fit to the data. The (upper limits on the) velocity gradients measured in these galaxies are consistent with the predictions of the galactic fountain model to within the accuracy of the measurements.

description: We consider the ground state properties of mixed Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb and 85Rb atoms in the isotropic pancake trap, for both signs of the interspecies scattering length. In the case of repulsive interspecies interaction, there are the axially-symmetric and symmetry-breaking ground states. The threshold for the symmetry breaking transition, which is related to appearance of a zero dipole-mode, is found numerically. For attractive interspecies interactions, the two condensates assume symmetric ground states for the numbers of atoms up to the collapse instability of the mixture.

description: Studies were conducted to investigate bacterial and fungal pathogens causing ulcer diseases in farmed and wild water bodies in Mymensingh during October, 2000 to September, 2003. Fishes were found to be affected by ulcer diseases, especially in the months' November to March usually peaked in January and February. Bacterial and fungal pathogens were isolated from the affected organs of the diseased fish and identified. The bacterial isolates were Aeromonas hydrophila, A. veronii biovar sobria, A. veronii biovar veronii, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Edwardsiella tarda and the fungal isolates were Aphanomyces invadans, Saprolegnia sp. and Achlya sp. In pathogenicity test, A. hydrophila was found to be more pathogenic than those of other isolates. In the case of fungi, A. invadans was detected as the most common fungal pathogen and was capable of producing characteristic lesion in the experimental fish. Experimental mixed infection with the bacterial pathogen, A. veronii biover sobria and fungal pathogen, A. invadans offered an interesting result producing similar lesions found in the naturally affected sampled fish. In histopathological observation, mycotic granulomas were a characteristic feature in the tissues of the EUS affected fishes. In contrast, no such feature was detected in the tissues of apparently healthy fish.
