description: Measurements of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive pp to WX production at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 inverse femtobarns recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. With a sample of more than twenty million W to mu nu events, the statistical precision is greatly improved in comparison to previous measurements. These new results provide additional constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton in the range of the Bjorken scaling variable x from 10E-3 to 10E-1. These measurements and the recent CMS measurement of associated W + charm production are used together with the cross sections for inclusive deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA in a next-to-leading-order QCD analysis. The determination of the valence quark distributions is improved, and the strange-quark distribution is probed directly through the leading-order process g + s to W + c in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.

description: It was investigated whether the REM-NREM (rapid eye movement-non-REM) sleep rhythm has a stable period during long-term observations. Sequences of 17 to 31 consecutive sleep records were analyzed for 6 test subjects and 1 patient. Period stability was confirmed for three experimental conditions: a) undisturbed night sleep, b) inversion of the sleep-waking cycle, c) absence of external timing mechanisms. The period of the ultradian REM sleep rhythm is no integral submultiple of 24 h, so that the remainder causes a daily drift in the REM sleep rhythm. It is assumed that the ultradian process is controlled endogenously. In contrast to the circadian rhythm the ultradian rhythm appears to be free-running under normal conditions. The stability of the ultradian period has been shown in long-term observations.
Understanding small-sided game practice in professional rugby union

Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University

description: The core aim of this thesis was to investigate whether small-sided game (SSG) training may provide a consistent stimulus to elicit tactical, technical, and physical characteristics in professional rugby union players. Initially, a systematic review of the literature on rugby football codes SSG demonstrated that limited research was available in rugby union SSG (5 out of 20 papers included, 25%), with the majority of research papers investigating the physical characteristics, limited studies evaluating the technical characteristics, and no study assessing the tactical characteristics of the SSG. Successively, an observational study was conducted to investigate the consistency of tactical behaviour (i.e., attacking shape), and technical and physical characteristics across multiple bouts of a specific rugby union SSG. Findings indicated that consistency of tactical behaviour, and technical and physical characteristics can be achieved for the majority of the variables investigated over multiple SSG bouts. This represents the first study analysing tactical behaviours during rugby union SSG. A regression study was then implemented to identify which external load variables were more closely related to internal load across multiple rugby union SSG designs. The results demonstrated that the association between internal and external load variables changed based on the specific design of the SSG, with the frequency of players getting down to and up from the ground and the frequency and intensity of accelerations and decelerations showing the strongest effect on internal load. An additional observational study was implemented to determine the differences in physical and technical characteristics across multiple rugby union SSG designs and to quantify the variability of these characteristics during pre-season. Findings suggested that position specific SSG (e.g., only backs) may be implemented to expose players to greater physical and technical characteristics for the majority of the variables investigated. Furthermore, variability in physical and technical characteristics was identified across multiple training days. In summary, findings demonstrated that consistency can be achieved across SSG bouts, and limited variability was identified over multiple training sessions.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: The 11 commercial freeze-drying plants in the United States have a drying shelf area of about 22 thousand square feet. They have a capacity of drying about 26 million pounds of frozen food, but in 1963 dried only 12 million pounds. By 1970, the 42 plants in the freeze-drying industry may have an annual production of about 250 million pounds and a capacity for drying 400 million pounds. In 1970, about 700 full-time workers will man the drying operations. Another 6,300 workers will perform associated work--making a total of 7,000 persons engaged in the new-fledged industry. In spite of the several advantages of freeze-dried foods, their volume is limited by high processing casts. Even though their palatability characteristics are better than most other dried foods, many items are still in need of flavor research. Freeze-dried foods are not now ready nor able to compete for a large-volume market, but they will be used successfully in special areas where the unique qualities give them a particular advantage.

The complex interpolation scales of vector-valued tent spaces and Hardy spaces are extended to the endpoint p=1. The holomorphic functional calculus of L is also shown to be bounded on the associated Hardy space H^1_L(X). These results, along with the atomic decomposition for the aforementioned space, rely on boundedness of certain integral operators on the tent space T^1(X).

description: The banking Industry worldwide has been more complex over the years because of rapid development and growth of financial markets. Consequently, banks started to practice multiple compound operations without even perceiving risks associated with the operations. This shed the light along with the global financial crisis on the importance of credit management on banks profitability. Therefore; this paper aimed to analyse the effect of credit risk on profitability of Egyptian Banks during the period of 2012 to 2017. The study used a sample of 10 Egyptian banks. Panel data were used with random effect model recommended by houseman test. the Measure of performance is by ROA and ROE and measure of credit is risk by debt ratio, ISR, bank size and NPLR. The results revealed that CAR significantly while NPLN insignificantly.

description: The sleep-wake cycle and the circadian rhythm of rectal temperature were recorded in subjects who lived singly in an isolation unit. In 10 subjects, the freerunning rhythms remained internally synchronized, 10 other subjects showed internal desynchronization. Times of onset and end of bedrest ("sleep") were determined in each cycle and referred to the phase of the temperature rhythm. In the synchronized subjects, onset of sleep occurred, on the average, 1.34 h before the minimum of temperature, and end of sleep 6.94 h thereafter, with narrow distributions. The desynchronized subjects had a broad bimodal distribution of sleep onsets (peaks 6.3 and 1.3 h before the minimum); the duration of sleep varied between more than 15 h when sleep began about 10 h before the temperature minimum, and less than 4 h when sleep began several hours after the minimum. The dependence of sleep duration on body temperature is interpreted as a continuing action of the coupling forces between the two rhythms after mutual synchronization is lost.

description: We prove the correspondence between the information geometry of a signal filter and a Kähler manifold. The information geometry of a minimum-phase linear system with a finite complex cepstrum norm is a Kähler manifold. The square of the complex cepstrum norm of the signal filter corresponds to the Kähler potential. The Hermitian structure of the Kähler manifold is explicitly emergent if and only if the impulse response function of the highest degree in $z$ is constant in model parameters. The Kählerian information geometry takes advantage of more efficient calculation steps for the metric tensor and the Ricci tensor. Moreover, $α$-generalization on the geometric tensors is linear in $α$. It is also robust to find Bayesian predictive priors, such as superharmonic priors, because Laplace-Beltrami operators on Kähler manifolds are in much simpler forms than those of the non-Kähler manifolds. Several time series models are studied in the Kählerian information geometry.

description: The question of the serial dependence of successive REM-NREM sleep cycles was examined. The experiments were performed in two different settings: 309 sleep episodes of 11 healthy young sleepers (age range, 20-36 years) were recorded under entrained conditions in the sleep laboratory; 5 of these subjects also slept in an isolation unit (underground apartment) with free-running sleep-wake cycles for a total of 107 sleep episodes. The covariances between the first three REM-NREM cycles were computed using an intraindividual cross-night approach. Significant negative covariances were observed. This result confirmed the assumption of serial dependencies between successive REM-NREM cycles. These data agree with the features of a periodically driven process and are incompatible with the alternatively hypothesized renewal model. The periodically driven process is similar in concept to the basic rest-activity cycle.

description: Wireless energy transfer (WET) has attracted significant attention recently for providing energy supplies wirelessly to electrical devices without the need of wires or cables. Among different types of WET techniques, the radio frequency (RF) signal enabled far-field WET is most practically appealing to power energy constrained wireless networks in a broadcast manner. To overcome the significant path loss over wireless channels, multi-antenna or multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques have been proposed to enhance the transmission efficiency and distance for RF-based WET. However, in order to reap the large energy beamforming gain in MIMO WET, acquiring the channel state information (CSI) at the energy transmitter (ET) is an essential task. This task is particularly challenging for WET systems, since existing channel training and feedback methods used for communication receivers may not be implementable at the energy receiver (ER) due to its hardware limitation. To tackle this problem, in this paper we consider a multiuser MIMO system for WET, where a multiple-antenna ET broadcasts wireless energy to a group of multiple-antenna ERs concurrently via transmit energy beamforming. By taking into account the practical energy harvesting circuits at the ER, we propose a new channel learning method that requires only one feedback bit from each ER to the ET per feedback interval. The feedback bit indicates the increase or decrease of the harvested energy by each ER between the present and previous intervals, which can be measured without changing the existing hardware at the ER. Based on such feedback information, the ET adjusts transmit beamforming in different training intervals and at the same time obtains improved estimates of the MIMO channels to ERs by applying a new approach termed analytic center cutting plane method (ACCPM).

Für die Umsetzung des Once-Only-Prinzips soll in Österreich unter anderem mit § 6 USPG eine „Once-Only-Plattform“ eingerichtet werden. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Infrastruktur bestehend aus einem „Register- und Systemverbund” zum behördenübergreifenden Datenaustausch sowie einer „Informationsverpflichtungsdatenbank”, die nicht personenbezogene Beschreibungen zu Informationsverpflichtungen für Bürger:innen oder Unternehmen enthält und der Erfassung und Administration von Informationsverpflichtungen dient. Mit dem Register- und Systemverbund soll die Kommunikation zwischen einzelnen Datenbanken und Registern technisch ermöglicht werden. Da über den RSV personenbezogene Daten übermittelt werden sollen, stellen sich für die Umsetzung und Nutzung des RSV zahlreiche datenschutzrechtliche Fragestellungen. Als Rechtsgrundlage für die Datenübermittlung kommt insbesondere Art 6 Abs 1 lit e DSGVO in Frage. Voraussetzung hierfür ist, dass eine spezifische gesetzliche Grundlage geschaffen wird. Darüber hinaus sind Vorkehrungen zu treffen, etwa eine entsprechende Protokollierung des Datenaustauschs, um dem Auskunftsrecht von Betroffenen nachkommen zu können. Für eine sichere Datenverarbeitung ist die Auswahl geeigneter technischer und organisatorischer Maßnahmen erforderlich, wofür das Vorgehensmodell nach dem Prozess ZAWAS herangezogen werden kann.

description: One hundred thirty sleep episodes of 6 subjects, living on a natural 24 hr day, were compared with 116 sleep times of the same subjects living isolated from external time cues. The polygraphic sleep recordings were analyzed for the distribution of REM sleep under both conditions. Additionally, the relationship between body temperature and REM sleep was analyzed by comparing sleep episodes in which the temperature minimum occurred early in the sleep episode with those in which there was a late temperature minimum. The results show that there is more REM sleep in the beginning of sleep in sleep episodes of free-running rhythms as compared to sleep episodes of entrained 24 hr rhythms. This higher amount of REM sleep is due to a longer first REM episode and shorter first NREM episodes. The comparison of the sleep episodes that differ in the position of the temperature minimum shows similar differences, i.e., more REM sleep in the beginning of sleep episodes in which the temperature minimum occurs earlier as compared to episodes in which the temperature minimum occurs later. It was hypothesized that the amount of REM sleep depends on the phase relationship between sleep and the circadian temperature cycle. From this point of view, the difference in the distribution of REM sleep in the entrained 24 hr rhythm, on the one hand, and the free-running rhythm, on the other hand, can be explained by the different courses of body temperature during sleep. That only the first REM episode is influenced by circadian parameters may indicate an exceptional role for this REM episode in contrast to the following episodes.
Listening in the wild: cognitive ecology of music listening

description: Music listening permeates everyday life. As a practice, it provides the listener with unique opportunities for a multitude of affective and cognitive experiences. In this thesis, I explore music listening as a cognitive ecological process. Rather than a matter of only perception or internal experience, music listening is distributed across mind, body, and both the physical and social environment. I begin by stepping through embodied and extended accounts of cognition to develop the foundation of an ecological approach to music listening. I then discuss the way in which music listening is an acquired and developed skill, contingent upon a complex array of socio-cultural and cognitive processes. In chapters 3 and 4 I briefly explore topics of interest for ongoing research. Chapter 3 explores how the listening ecology model is further shaped by live performance environments. Chapter 4 discusses the role of lyrics in music listening. In particular, what changes in the listener’s experience when the piece of music has lyrical content? By integrating a wide range of views from cognitive science, psychology, philosophy of mind and musicology, I hope to provide a theoretical foundation for future empirical and ethnographic research.

description: The performance of the recently introduced $\Pi$2 method [1] is investigated for some diatomic molecules. For this end, ground state energies are calculated at the MP4 level for various basis sets of increasing size. With negligible extra effort, the $\Pi$2, F4, and [2/2] estimators are obtained, together with information on the reliability of the basic perturbation series [1]. The results are compared to more expensive CCSD(T) results. Also, electronic energy hypersurfaces are calculated at these levels. As a further possibility to test the performance of the method, vibrational frequencies and other spectroscopic constants of diatomic molecules are calculated by fitting different analytic functions to the hypersurfaces obtained by different methods and compared to experimental data.

description: Male reproductive health is increasingly vulnerable to environmental pollutants, with Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) being a common contaminant that adversely affects the male reproductive system. This study investigates the modulating effects of clove isolates, specifically eugenol, on testicular patho-histology and sperm redox status in TCA-treated rats. Known for their antioxidant properties, clove isolates are explored for their potential therapeutic intervention against TCA-induced testicular toxicity. Sixty adult male Wistar rats were divided into ten groups of six rats each: Group 1 received 2 ml/kg body weight of normal saline daily for 30 days via orogastric cannula (Negative Control); Group 2 received 4 mg/kg of EIC via orogastric cannula for 15 days; Group 3 received 10 mg/kg of EIC via orogastric cannula for 15 days; Group 4 received 200 mg/kg of TCA via orogastric cannula for 15 days; Group 5 received 400 mg/kg of TCA via orogastric cannula for 15 days; Group 6 received 200 mg/kg of TCA for the first 15 days, followed by 4 mg/kg of EIC for another 15 days via orogastric cannula; Group 7 received 400 mg/kg of TCA for the first 15 days, followed by 10 mg/kg of EIC for another 15 days via orogastric cannula; Group 8 received 4 mg/kg of EIC for the first 15 days, followed by 200 mg/kg of TCA for another 15 days via orogastric cannula; Group 9 received 10 mg/kg of EIC for the first 15 days, followed by 400 mg/kg of TCA for another 15 days via orogastric cannula; and Group 10 received 4 mg/kg of EIC for 30 days in combination with 200 mg/kg of TCA for 30 days via orogastric cannula. Results indicate that TCA significantly impairs sperm parameters, while eugenol isolates show the potential to mitigate TCA's detrimental effects. Oxidative stress markers reveal a dosedependent response, supporting these findings. Histological observations highlight TCA-induced testicular damage and the protective effects of eugenol isolates. This research provides valuable insights into the protective effects of clove isolates on male reproductive health, suggesting potential natural-based interventions to counter environmental challenges. The study underscores the complex interplay between TCA, clove isolates, and reproductive parameters, offering a foundation for further research and therapeutic interventions to safeguard testicular health

Nonzero $θ_{13}$ in $SO(3) \rightarrow A_4$ lepton models

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The simplest neutrino mass models based on $A_4$ symmetry predict $θ_{13} = 0$ at tree level, a value that contradicts recent data. We study models that arise from the spontaneous breaking of an $SO(3)$ symmetry to its $A_4$ subgroup, and find that such models can naturally accommodate a nonzero $θ_{13}$ at tree level. Standard Model charged leptons mix with additional heavy ones to generate a $θ_{13}$ that scales with the ratio of the $A_4$-breaking to $SO(3)$-breaking scales. A suitable choice of energy scales hence allows one to reproduce the correct lepton mixing angles. We also consider an alternative approach where we modify the alignment of flavons associated with the charged lepton masses, and find that the effects on $θ_{13}$ are enhanced by a factor that scales as $m_τ/m_μ$.

title: Hegemony, Discourse, and Ontological Security: A Post-Foundational Approach to Political Analysis
Creators: name: Onursal, Recep
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: The four published articles composing this dissertation highlight the role of hegemony, discourse, and discursive struggles in explaining different political phenomena, drawing from a range of case studies from the United Kingdom, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. The common thread binding this diverse set of research articles into a unified body of research is the novel cross-fertilization of the main arguments and central concepts of Post-foundational Theory of Discourse (PTD) with those of other theoretical frameworks employed in each paper. In this way, the dissertation makes a threefold contribution. Theoretically, the first article incorporates PTD with Bourdieusian Practice Theory (BPT) to critically examine the convergence of political discourse on terrorism and extremism in the United Kingdom. The subsequent articles integrate PTD with Ontological Security Theory (OST) in a more comprehensive and systematic manner by developing the concept of ontological security regime. This concept foregrounds how ontological security is embedded in hegemonic articulations and power struggles that revolve around a regime of practices and fantasmatic narratives. Methodologically, the dissertation articulates an empirical model for post-foundational political analysis. The model translates the abstract concepts and tools of post-foundational thought into a practical and replicable framework, offering a systematic methodology for applying post-foundational concepts in empirical research. While Article 1 in this dissertation demonstrates a comprehensive application of this model in the field of Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS), the model also constitutes the underlying logic that structures the empirical analysis of ontological security regimes in Articles 2, 3, and 4 across various contexts. Empirically, drawing on these theoretical articulations, each article introduces an original contribution to political analysis, offering a novel analytical framework and in-depth empirical analysis on security policies and practices at both the intra-state and inter-state levels and in different contexts.

description: Research on how and when leader–member exchange (LMX) impacts work engagement in different public sector contexts and categories of employees is scarce. Utilising conservation of resources theory, we advance research on LMX and work engagement in two studies. Study 1 investigates the mediating role of a contextual resource (psychological safety) and an energy resource (job crafting) in a resource-rich context, and Study 2 investigates the moderating role of a personal resource (optimism) in a resource-poor context. Study 1 uses a three-wave research design with employees from the engineering and technical divisions of an Irish public utility operating in the energy market and found that both psychological safety and job crafting functioned as partial mediators. Study 2 uses a sample of teachers and tutors from three Irish local authority education and training organisations and found that subordinate optimism moderated the LMX work engagement relationship. Our study findings highlight that both psychological safety and job crafting operated as important linking mechanisms and shed light on how LMX is linked to work engagement in the case of public utility employees. We also found that employee optimism provided an explanation of when it will impact work engagement with employees working in an education context. We highlight theory and practice implications

description: Consider the Cauchy problem for the radial cubic wave equation in 1+3 dimensions with either the focusing or defocusing sign. This problem is critical in $\dot{H}^{\frac{1}{2}} \times \dot{H}^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ and subcritical with respect to the conserved energy. Here we prove that if the critical norm of a solution remains bounded on the maximal time-interval of existence, then the solution must in fact be global-in-time and scatter to free waves as $t \to \pm \infty$.

description: In this paper we solve a contact non-squeezing conjecture proposed by Eliashberg, Kim and Polterovich. Let $B_R$ be the open ball of radius $R$ in $\mathbf{R}^{2n}$ and let $\mathbf{R}^{2n}\times\mathbf{S}^1$ be the prequantization space equipped with the standard contact structure. Following Tamarkin's idea, we apply microlocal category methods to prove that if $R$ and $r$ satisfy $1\leqπr^2

description: Patterns of sleep and wakefulness exhibited in an environment without time cues are generally considered to be monophasic, with a distinct relationship between sleep episodes and the minimum of body core temperature. In some cases this relationship between major sleep episodes and temperature becomes replaced by an apparently varying phase relationship between the two variables called "spontaneous internal desynchronization". In the present study the sleep-wake and temperature data of six subjects living in an environment without time cues and exhibiting internal desynchronization were reanalyzed to include subjectively designated naps. Two groups of naps were identified based on their phase positions relative to temperature, with one group occurring around the temperature minimum and another group clustering approximately halfway between successive minima. The results support the suggestion that neither monophasic sleep placement nor sleep patterns typically associated with spontaneous internal desynchronization reflect biological sleep tendency. Rather, sleep tendency is reflected more accurately by the bimodal sleep patterns exhibited by subjects who are allowed to time their sleep and waking with no restrictions.
title: Künstliche Schöpfer - Urheberrecht an artifiziellen Werken in Österreich und Deutschland
Creators: name: Meindl, Mathias
Year: 2023

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem aktuellen Phänomen der maschinell generierten Bilder. Meist durch Neuronale Netze trainierte Modelle liegen einem Programmablauf zugrunde, der schlussendlich ein Bild auf Basis gelernter Muster ausgibt und für Dritte wahrnehmbar macht. Das menschliche Zutun tritt dabei immer weiter in den Hintergrund. Dadurch stellt sich die Frage, wer Urheber bzw. Urheberin an solcherart generierter Bilder sein kann. Zwar kommt neben dem Entwickler bzw. der Entwicklerin des Programms auch die ausgebende Maschine selbst als Schöpferin in Betracht, doch scheint einem Urheberrecht der Maschine der anthropozentristische Ansatz des österreichischen und deutschen Urheberrechts entgegenzustehen, wonach jedenfalls nur ein Mensch Urheber bzw. Urheberin sein kann. Anhand konkreter Beispiele wird die Generierung von Bildern in die einzelnen Schritte zerlegt. Dadurch soll einerseits der tatsächliche Schöpfungsakt identifiziert, andererseits auch die in Frage kommenden Urheber bzw. Urheberinnen in der ganzen Schöpfungskette ausgemacht werden. Mit einem historischen Abriss der Entwicklung des Werkbegriffes sowie der Entstehungsgeschichte der Künstlichen Intelligenz macht sich diese Arbeit auf die Suche nach der möglichen Urheber bzw. Urheberinnen an maschinell generierten Erzeugnissen und untersucht einen weitergehenden Schutz- und Regelungsbedarf solcherart erstellter Bilder.
Bayesian Reconstruction of Missing Observations

description: We focus on an interpolation method referred to Bayesian reconstruction in this paper. Whereas in standard interpolation methods missing data are interpolated deterministically, in Bayesian reconstruction, missing data are interpolated probabilistically using a Bayesian treatment. In this paper, we address the framework of Bayesian reconstruction and its application to the traffic data reconstruction problem in the field of traffic engineering. In the latter part of this paper, we describe the evaluation of the statistical performance of our Bayesian traffic reconstruction model using a statistical mechanical approach and clarify its statistical behavior.
Transforming Logarithmic to Linear Convergence by Interpolation

description: We propose to map logarithmically converging sequences to linearly converging sequences using interpolation. After this, convergence acceler- ators for linear convergence become effective. The interpolation approach works also if only relatively few members of the problem sequence are known, contrary to several other approaches. The effectiveness of the ap- proach is demonstrated for a particular example.

description: By using the solvability of Lauricella function $F_{D}^{(K)}\left( α;β_{1},...,β_{K};γ;x_{1},...,x_{K}\right) $ with nonpositive integer $β_{J}$, we show that each scattering or decay process of string and D-brane states at \textit{arbitrary} mass levels can be expressed in terms of a single Lauricella function. This result extends the previous exact $SL(K+3,\mathbb{C})$ symmetry of tree-level open bosonic string theory to include the D-brane.

On Convergence Acceleration of Multipolar and Orthogonal Expansions

description: Multipolar expansions arise in many branches of the computational sciences. They are an example of orthogonal expansions. We present methods for the convergence acceleration of such expansions. As an example, the computation of the electrostatic potential and its multipolar expansion is treated for the case of a two-center charge density of exponential-type orbitals. This potential may also be considered as a special molecular integral, namely as a three-center nuclear attraction integral. It is shown that in this example, the extrapolation to the limit of the corresponding expansions via suitable nonlinear sequence transformations leads to a pronounced convergence acceleration.

description: In the grand tradition of Sherlock Holmes, the master of deduction, an investigative journey unfolds into the enigmatic world where the steadfast realm of German taxation meets the cryptic and ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology. Much like the fog-laden streets of Victorian London, the intertwining of these two domains presents a puzzle wrapped in a mystery, shrouded in an enigma.The tale begins in the orderly corridors of German tax offices, where meticulous records and an unyielding adherence to regulation reign supreme. Into this world of precision and predictability, enters the maverick of modern finance: blockchain. With its promise of decentralization, transparency, and security, blockchain stands at the threshold, poised to revolutionize the very foundations of tax collection and administration.Yet, as Holmes himself would attest, the introduction of such a disruptive force into a system as established and rigid as the German tax regime is akin to introducing a wild card into a well-ordered deck. The potential for both unparalleled efficiency and unforeseen chaos exists in equal measure. Will blockchain technology prove to be the trusty Watson to Germany’s tax system, a loyal ally in the pursuit of order and justice? Or will it be akin to the elusive Moriarty, a force of disruption and uncertainty?In this scholarly endeavor, the labyrinth of regulations is traversed, potential harmonies and discords are explored, and deductions are made whether this alliance between blockchain and the German tax system is a match of mutual benefit or a partnership doomed to complexity and contention.Standing at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, donning the proverbial deerstalker, and arming with the magnifying glass of scrutiny, this intellectual pursuit embarks. For in the words of the illustrious Holmes, "The game is afoot!"

description: We investigated experimentally the ray-wave correspondence in organic microlasers of various triangular shapes. Triangular billiards are of interest since they are the simplest cases of polygonal billiards and the existence and properties of periodic orbits in triangles are not yet fully understood. The microlasers with symmetric shapes that were investigated exhibited states localized on simple periodic orbits, and their lasing characteristics like spectra and far-field distributions could be well explained by the properties of the periodic orbits. Furthermore, asymmetric triangles that do not feature simple periodic orbits were studied. Their lasing properties were found to be more complicated and could not be explained by periodic orbits.
