description: Seit Jahrzenten wird ein Diskurs über urbane Lebensweisen geführt und selbige werden mit jedem größeren gesellschaftlichen Wandel neu zu interpretieren versucht. Welchen Bedürfnissen des in urbanen Strukturen lebenden Menschen sollten Gebäude nicht nur in der Gegenwart, sondern möglichst weit in der Zukunft gerecht werden? Zusätzlich zum Thema der hybriden Architektur gesellt sich die Frage des zu verwendenden Gebäudetyps. Natürlich sollte die Wahl von der bestehenden, städtebaulichen Situation, den umliegenden Gegebenheiten und nicht zuletzt von den Anforderungen des urban lebenden Menschen abhängen bzw. davon beeinflusst werden. Anhand des Bauplatzes Handelskai 100 im 20. Wiener Gemeindebezirk soll durch den in dieser Arbeit dargestellten Entwurf gezeigt werden, wie in einer „fluvialen Stadtlandschaft“1 mit Hilfe des zugegebener Maßen polarisierenden Gebäudetyps Hochhaus eine gleichermaßen soziologische und funktionale Durchmischung geschaffen werden kann.
description: Since decades, urban lifestyles are being discoursed and tried to be interpreted newly with every bigger social change. What kind of needs of the in urban structures living Human should buildings satisfy, not only in present, but preferably far in the future? Additionally to the topic of hybrid architecture, there is the question which building type should be used. Of course, the choice should be dependent on, or influenced by existing, urban situation, surrounding conditions and last but not least the requirements of urban living people. On the basis of the construction site Handelskai 100 in the 20th district of Vienna and by the illustrated onception in this paper it should be shown, how an equally sociable and functional mix can be created in a “fluvial cityscape”1 with the help of a admittedly polarizing high rise building type.

description: This study investigates global properties of literary and non-literary texts. Within the literary texts, a distinction is made between canonical and non-canonical works. The central hypothesis of the study is that the three text types (non-literary, literary/canonical and literary/non-canonical) exhibit systematic differences with respect to structural design features as correlates of aesthetic responses in readers. To investigate these differences, we compiled a corpus containing texts of the three categories of interest, the Jena Textual Aesthetics Corpus. Two aspects of global structure are investigated, variability and self-similar (fractal) patterns, which reflect long-range correlations along texts. We use four types of basic observations, (i) the frequency of POS-tags per sentence, (ii) sentence length, (iii) lexical diversity in chunks of text, and (iv) the distribution of topic probabilities in chunks of texts. These basic observations are grouped into two more general categories, (a) the low-level properties (i) and (ii), which are observed at the level of the sentence (reflecting linguistic decoding), and (b) the high-level properties (iii) and (iv), which are observed at the textual level (reflecting comprehension). The basic observations are transformed into time series, and these time series are subject to multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA). Our results show that low-level properties of texts are better discriminators than high-level properties, for the three text types under analysis. Canonical literary texts differ from non-canonical ones primarily in terms of variability. Fractality seems to be a universal feature of text, more pronounced in non-literary than in literary texts. Beyond the specific results of the study, we intend to open up new perspectives on the experimental study of textual aesthetics.

description: We address the macroscopic quantumness of the state of mechanical systems subjected to conditional protocols devised for state engineering in cavity optomechanics. We use a measure of macroscopicity based on phase-space methods. We cover the domain from weak to strong optomechanical coupling, illustrating how measurements performed over the cavity field that drives the dynamics of a mechanical system are able to steer the latter towards large quantum coherent states. The effect of losses is evaluated for the case of an open cavity, and analyzed in terms of the features of the Wigner functions of the state of the mechanical system. We also address the case of engineered phonon-subtracted mechanical systems, in full open-system configuration, demonstrating the existence of optimal working points for the sake of mesoscopic quantumness. Our study is relevant for and applicable to a broad range of settings, from clamped to levitated mechanical systems.

description: Matrix-bound vesicles (MBVs), an integral part of the extracellular matrix (ECM), are emerging as pivotal factors in ECM-driven molecular signaling. This study is the first to report the isolation of MBVs from porcine arterial endothelial cell basement membranes (A-MBVs) and thyroid cartilage (C-MBVs), the latter serving as a negative control due to its minimal vascular characteristics. Using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Nano-Tracking Analysis (NTA), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), we orthogonally characterized the isolated MBVs. We detected the presence and preservation of vascular endothelial cadherin (CD144) in A-MBVs, its low to non-detetcted in C-MBVs, in which SOX9, a chondrocyte marker, was detected. Moreover, we developed a prototype of an immuno-functionalized screen-printed electrode designed for the immunoadsorption of CD144+ MBVs. This device facilitated the electrochemical detection of the targeted vesicles and allowed for their subsequent topological characterization using AFM, which verified the integrity and morphology of CD144+ MBVs post-immunoadsorption. These advancements enhance our comprehension of MBVs as conveyors of tissue-specific signals and pioneer new avenues for harnessing their cargo in biomedical applications. This research sets a significant precedent for future studies on the application of MBVs in regenerative medicine and ECM signaling.

description: We study the ferromagnetic random-field Ising model on random graphs of fixed connectivity z (Bethe lattice) in the presence of an external magnetic field $H$. We compute the number of single-spin-flip stable configurations with a given magnetization m and study the connection between the distribution of these metastable states in the H-m plane (focusing on the region where the number is exponentially large) and the shape of the saturation hysteresis loop obtained by cycling the field between $-\infty$ and $+\infty$ at T=0. The annealed complexity $Σ_A(m,H)$ is calculated for z=2,3,4 and the quenched complexity $Σ_Q(m,H)$ for z=2. We prove explicitly for z=2 that the contour $Σ_Q(m,H)=0$ coincides with the saturation loop. On the other hand, we show that $Σ_A(m,H)$ is irrelevant for describing, even qualitatively, the observable hysteresis properties of the system.

description: Low surface brightness galactic stellar halos provide a challenging but promising path towards unraveling the past assembly histories of individual galaxies. Here, we present detailed comparisons between the stellar halos of Milky Way-mass disk galaxies observed as part of the Dragonfly Nearby Galaxies Survey (DNGS) and stellar mass-matched galaxies in the TNG100 run of the IllustrisTNG project. We produce stellar mass maps as well as mock $g$ and $r$-band images for randomly oriented simulated galaxies, convolving the latter with the Dragonfly PSF and taking care to match the background noise, surface brightness limits and spatial resolution of DNGS. We measure azimuthally averaged stellar mass density and surface brightness profiles, and find that the DNGS galaxies generally have less stellar mass (or light) at large radii (>20 kpc) compared to their mass-matched TNG100 counterparts, and that simulated galaxies with similar surface density profiles tend to have low accreted mass fractions for their stellar mass. We explore potential solutions to this apparent "missing outskirts problem" by implementing several ad-hoc adjustments within TNG100 at the stellar particle level. Although we are unable to identify any single adjustment that fully reconciles the differences between the observed and simulated galaxy outskirts, we find that artificially delaying the disruption of satellite galaxies and reducing the spatial extent of in-situ stellar populations result in improved matches between the outer profile shapes and stellar halo masses, respectively. Further insight can be achieved with higher resolution simulations that are able to better resolve satellite accretion, and with larger samples of observed galaxies.

description: Critical Assessment of Computational Hit-Finding Experiments (CACHE) Challenges emerged as real-life stress tests for computational hit-finding strategies. In CACHE Challenge #1, 23 participants contributed their original workflows to identify small-molecule ligands for the WD40 repeat (WDR) of LRRK2, a promising Parkinson's target. We applied the FRASE-based hit-finding robot (FRASE-bot), a platform for interaction-based screening allowing a drastic reduction of the explorable chemical space and a concurrent detection of putative ligand-binding sites. In two screening rounds, 84 compounds were procured for experimental testing and 8 were confirmed to bind LRRK2-WDR with dissociation constants (Kd) ranging from 3 to 41 μM. To investigate the functional effect of WDR ligands, they were tested for their ability to modify the LRRK2 activity markers in HEK293T cells. Two compounds showed statistically significant increases in the kinase activity of WT LRRK2, and two compounds affected the conformation and kinase activity of major LRRK2 mutants.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: This paper emphasizes the urgency of solving the problems of farmers' employment under the condition of land transfer, indicating that solving the problems of farmers' employment is the necessary requirement of land transfer, the actual requirement of constructing well-off society comprehensively, and the objective requirement of transforming developmental model. The characteristics of the problems of farmers' employment under the condition of land transfer are as follows: the rural surplus labor forces increase, and the ubiquitous unemployment is urgent; the employment room of farmers is narrow, and me structural unemployment is serious; the ability of farmers' employment is poor, and recessive unemployment has a large proportion; the situation of farmers' employment is not so sanguine, and the policy unemployment is frequent. This paper points out me causes of farmers' employment problems under the situation of land transfer as follows, in terms of analysis of subjective factors, farmers' self-employment ability is yet to be underpinned; in terms of analysis of objective factors, the relevant mechanism of government is unsound. Finally, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are put forward as follows: establish the mechanism of farmer traceability analysis under the condition of land transfer; strengthen the training of farmers' &ills; reinforce the publicity and education of farmers' employment concept; promote the process of urbanization and construct the employment vehicle of farmers; adjust the industrial structure in rural areas and expand the internal employment in rural areas; improve macro regulation and improve the employment environment for farmers.

description: We consider a discrete time random walk in a space-time i.i.d. random environment. We use a martingale approach to show that the walk is diffusive in almost every fixed environment. We improve on existing results by proving an invariance principle and considering environments with an annealed $L^2$ drift. We also state an a.s. invariance principle for random walks in general random environments whose hypothesis requires a subdiffusive bound on the variance of the quenched mean, under an ergodic invariant measure for the environment chain.

description: Multifractal analysis (MFA) is a useful tool to systematically describe the spatial heterogeneity of both theoretical and experimental fractal patterns. One of the widely used methods for fractal analysis is box-covering. It is known to be NP-hard. More severely, in comparison with fractal analysis algorithms, MFA algorithms have much higher computational complexity. Among various MFA algorithms for complex networks, the sandbox MFA algorithm behaves with the best computational efficiency. However, the existing sandbox algorithm is still computationally expensive. It becomes challenging to implement the MFA for large-scale networks with tens of millions of nodes. It is also not clear whether or not MFA results can be improved by a largely increased size of a theoretical network. To tackle these challenges, a computationally-efficient sandbox algorithm (CESA) is presented in this paper for MFA of large-scale networks. Our CESA employs the breadth-first search (BFS) technique to directly search the neighbor nodes of each layer of center nodes, and then to retrieve the required information. Our CESA's input is a sparse data structure derived from the compressed sparse row (CSR) format designed for compressed storage of the adjacency matrix of large-scale network. A theoretical analysis reveals that the CESA reduces the time complexity of the existing sandbox algorithm from cubic to quadratic, and also improves the space complexity from quadratic to linear. MFA experiments are performed for typical complex networks to verify our CESA. Finally, our CESA is applied to a few typical real-world networks of large scale.

description: The previous Faddeev calculation of the two-alpha plus Lambda system for 9 Lambda Be is extended to incorporate the spin-orbit components of the SU_6 quark-model baryon-baryon interactions. We employ the Born kernel of the quark-model Lambda N LS interaction, and generate the spin-orbit component of the Lambda alpha potential by the alpha-cluster folding. The Faddeev calculation in the jj-coupling scheme implies that the direct use of the quark-model Born kernel for the Lambda N LS component is not good enough to reproduce the small experimental value Delta E^exp_{ls}=43 +- 5 keV for the 5/2^+ - 3/2^+ splitting. This procedure predicts three to five times larger values in the model FSS and fss2. The spin-orbit contribution from the effective meson-exchange potentials in fss2 is argued to be unfavorable to the small ls splitting, through the analysis of the Scheerbaum factors for the single-particle spin-orbit potentials calculated in the G-matrix formalism.

Evidence of intense hot(~340K) dust in 3CR radio galaxies The most dissipative source of cooling in AGNs

description: The spectra of the powerful 3CR radio galaxies present a typical distribution in the far-infrared. From the observed radio to X-ray spectral energy distribution (SED) templates, we propose to subtract the typical energy distributions of, respectively, the elliptical galaxy host and the synchrotron radiation. The resulting SED reveals that the main dust emission is well fitted by the sum of two blackbody components at the respective temperatures 340K+-50K and 40K+-16K. When the AGN is active, the energy rate released by hot dust is much more dissipative than cold dust and stellar emission, even when the elliptical galaxy emission is maximum at age of ~ 90 Myr. Hot dust appears as a huge cooling source which implies an extremely short time-scale t(cool). In balance, with the short gravitational time-scale t(grav) of massive galaxies, the dissipative self-gravitational models (Rees & Ostriker, 1977) are favoured for radio sources. They justify the existence of massive radio galaxies at z=4 (Rocca-Volmerange et al., 2004). The synchrotron emission is emitting up to the X-ray wavelength range, so that strong "EXOs" sources could be assimilated to 3CR radio sources. This analysis applied to ISO and SPITZER data on a larger sample will statistically confirm these results.

description: Mittelspannungskabel stellen einen wesentlichen Bestandteil der Stromnetze dar, gleichzeitig sind viele Kabel bereits seit 30 Jahren oder länger in Betrieb und ihr Zustand ist nur schwer festzustellen. Reparaturen und der Austausch von Erdkabeln sind einerseits mit hohem Arbeitsaufwand, Behördenverfahren und Kosten verbunden. Schäden können andererseits zu Stromausfällen und Beeinträchtigungen der Versorgungssicherheit führen. In vorliegender Arbeit wird ein Überblick über die physikalischen Vorgänge und Alterung von Erdkabeln und den aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft zu diesem Thema gegeben. Das praktische Hauptproblem hierbei ist die Beschaffung von Daten über den aktuellen Kabelzustand, da für die Alterung relevante Parameter der Kabel im Betrieb in der Regel nicht ohne Weiteres festgestellt werden können. Eine Möglichkeit zur Informationsbeschaffung über den tatsächlichen Zustand der Kabel stellen die Verfahren der technischen Diagnostik dar. Die am weitesten verbreiteten Verfahren, Messung von Teilentladungen und des Verlustfaktors tan wurden vorgestellt und anhand von praktischen Messungen bei Kärnten Netz erläutert. Abschließend wurde der aktuelle Forschungsstand zu einer Methode zur Nutzung von Power Line Communication (PLC) Signalen zur Zustandsbewertung in Netzen vorgestellt, analysiert und mit den etablierten Methoden verglichen.
description: Medium Voltage power cables are essential components of electricity grids, at the same time many cables have yet been more than 30 years in service and their condition can hardly be evaluated. Repairs and exchange of underground cables on the one hand always lead to high work effort, official procedures and costs. On the other hand, cable failures can lead to power outages and difficulties in security of supply. In the present thesis, an overview of the physics and ageing of cables and the current state of research to this topic is given. The practical main problem here is the gathering of data about the current cable condition, because relevant cableparameters can usually not be determined while in operation. Possibilities for an assessment of the actual cable condition are technical diagnostic techniques. The most widely used ones, measurements of partial discharges and the dissipation factor tan are explained with practical examples of measurements from the grid of Kärnten Netz GmbH. Finally, the current state of research of a promising method for using power line communication (PLC) signals for an online condition monitoring of cable grids is shown, analyzed and compared to the current methods.

description: The ever-growing demands on speed and precision from the precision motion industry have pushed control requirements to reach the limitations of linear control theory. Nonlinear controllers like reset provide a viable alternative since they can be easily integrated into the existing linear controller structure and designed using industry-preferred loop-shaping techniques. However, currently, loop-shaping is achieved using the describing function (DF) and performance analysed using linear control sensitivity functions not applicable for reset control systems, resulting in a significant deviation between expected and practical results. We overcome this major bottleneck to the wider adaptation of reset control with two contributions in this paper. First, we present the extension of frequency-domain tools for reset controllers in the form of higher-order sinusoidal-input describing functions (HOSIDFs) providing greater insight into their behaviour. Second, we propose a novel method which uses the DF and HOSIDFs of the open-loop reset control system for the estimation of the closed-loop sensitivity functions, establishing for the first time - the relation between open-loop and closed-loop behaviour of reset control systems in the frequency domain. The accuracy of the proposed solution is verified in both simulation and practice on a precision positioning stage and these results are further analysed to obtain insights into the tuning considerations for reset controllers.

description: We point out the possibility of having a roton-type excitation spectrum in a quasi-1D Bose-Einstein condensate with dipole-dipole interactions. Normally such a system is quite unstable due to the attractive portion of the dipolar interaction. However, by reversing the sign of the dipolar interaction using either a rotating magnetic field or a laser with circular polarization, a stable cigar-shaped configuration can be achieved whose spectrum contains a `roton' minimum analogous to that found in helium II. Dipolar gases also offer the exciting prospect to tune the depth of this `roton' minimum by directly controlling the interparticle interaction strength. When the minimum touches the zero-energy axis the system is once again unstable, possibly to the formation of a density wave.

description: Die reichhaltige Angebotspalette im Lebensmittelhandel führt dazu, dass sich die Lebensmittelbranche zunehmend mit Produktdifferenzierung beschäftigt. In diesem Zusammenhang kommt dem (emotionalen) Zusatznutzen, der über unterschiedlichste Produkteigenschaften vermittelt werden kann, eine wichtige Bedeutung zu. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, inwieweit die Herkunft aus dem Berggebiet für KonsumentInnen einen derartigen Zusatznutzen darstellt und welche Argumente KonsumentInnen für den Konsum von Bergprodukten anführen. Dazu werden die Ergebnisse von vier Fokusgruppen mit unterschiedlichen KonsumentInnengruppen aus Österreich (Tirol) und Deutschland dargestellt. Die Analyse der Fokusgruppen erfolgte mittels der Convention Theory und zeigt, dass die Bergherkunft nicht einen singulären Zusatznutzen darstellt, sondern sich aus einer Summe von Komponenten zusammensetzt, die jeweils mit der Bergherkunft in Verbindung gebracht werden und deren Kombination je nach Fokusgruppe variiert. Damit liefern die Aussagen der FokusgruppenteilnehmerInnen Hinweise für verbesserte Vermarktungsstrategien von Lebensmitteln aus dem Berggebiet. Given the broad range of products in food retailing, actors are increasingly aiming to differentiate their products by promoting certain features as added benefits. This means that any added (emotional) benefit, whichever way it is communicated, becomes significant. In this article we investigate inhowfar the fact that a product originates from a mountain region constitutes such an added benefit for consumers and what arguments support their choice of mountain food products. We present results of four focus groups with participants from Austria (Tyrol) and Germany, analysed by using Convention Theory. Our findings suggest that the origin of a food product in a mountain region does not constitute a singular added benefit but rather the sum of several components associated with a mountain origin, in varying combinations, depending on the specific focus group. The statements gathered in the focus groups may thus provide some indication on how to improve the communication strategy for mountain products.
First principles study on the thermoelectric performance of CaAl$_2$Si$_2$-type Zintl phase compounds

description: We investigate the thermoelectric properties of CaAl$_2$Si$_2$-type Zintl phase compounds $AB_2X_2$ ($A$ = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, $B$ = Mg, Zn, Cd, and $X$ = P, As, Sb) using first principles band calculations within the Boltzmann transport theory assuming the constant relaxation time approximation. We introduce the effective degree of valley degeneracy $n_{TE}$ to focus on the relationship between the thermoelectric properties and the multivalley character of the electronic band structure around the Fermi level. We also introduce a quantity $γ_{TE}$, which takes into account $n_{TE}$ and anisotropy of the valley structure, and it is found that $γ_{TE}$ enables us to well understand the overall trend of the material dependence of the power factor. We finally suggest promising thermoelectric materials, e.g. BaMg$_2$P$_2$ for PF $\sim 20μ$W/cmK$^2$ and $ZT > 0.2$ at 300K and SrZn$_2$As$_2$ for PF $\sim 35μ$W/cmK$^2$ and $ZT > 0.35$ at 300K assuming a relaxation time of 10 fs and a lattice thermal conductivity value of 2 W/mK.

description: A significant correlation between the annual cosmic ray flux and the amount of low clouds has recently been found for the past 20 years. However, of the physical explanations suggested, none has been quantitatively verified in the atmosphere by a combination of modelling and experiment. Here we study the relation between the global distributions of the observed low cloud amount and the calculated tropospheric ionization induced by cosmic rays. We find that the time evolution of the low cloud amount can be decomposed into a long-term trend and inter-annual variations, the latter depicting a clear 11-year cycle. We also find that the relative inter-annual variability in low cloud amount increases polewards and exhibits a highly significant one-to-one relation with inter-annual variations in the ionization over the latitude range 20--55$^\circ$S and 10--70$^\circ$N. This latitudinal dependence gives strong support for the hypothesis that the cosmic ray induced ionization modulates cloud properties.

description: In dynamic simulation of complete wheel loaders, one interesting aspect, specific for the working task, is the momentary power distribution between drive train and hydraulics, which is balanced by the operator. This paper presents the initial results to a simulation model of a human operator. Rather than letting the operator model follow a predefined path with control inputs at given points, it follows a collection of general rules that together describe the machine's working cycle in a generic way. The advantage of this is that the working task description and the operator model itself are independent of the machine's technical parameters. Complete sub-system characteristics can thus be changed without compromising the relevance and validity of the simulation. Ultimately, this can be used to assess a machine's total performance, fuel efficiency and operability already in the concept phase of the product development process.
