"Born into absence" : transgenerational trauma in Anne Michaels' Fugitive Pieces
Creators: name: Kelly, Patricia A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: My research draws on critical theories of trauma, specifically the concept "postmemory" (Hirsch) and the emerging concept "cultural trauma" (Alexander et al). I investigate the representation of transgenerational memory in the aftermath of cultural genocide in the Canadian Holocaust novel Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels (1996). These two models, one with polysemous and multivalent influences (Holocaust literature, visual culture, cultural memory, testimony) and one sociological, offer a sociocultural perspective from which to investigate how the individual and the collective respond to cultural trauma and articulate meaning-making for the group. In addition, I draw on the psychoanalytic frameworks of trauma studies to respond to ethical concerns arising in relation to the effects of catastrophic events on the individual and collective (Caruth, Freud, LaCapra). Deploying paradigms from trauma studies, I focus on an undertheorized aspect of Fugitive Pieces—second generation member Ben, the narrator of Part II. I compare traumatic memory, grounded in the geologic and geographic landscape of the child survivor Jakob Beer, narrator of Part I, to Ben's domestic sphere. I argue that in Part II the sites of catastrophe shift from the ground of the bog, the riverbed, the shelf of limestone and relocate indoors to the "ground" of the family home. The sociological conception of cultural trauma contributes to my reading of Ben's postmemory in Fugitive Pieces and establishes Ben as a conduit for cultural trauma—the group's collective memory and collective identity. Ben's importance to the representation of collective suffering lies in the transmission of trauma from Ben's parents to Ben that results in his membership in the collective. Next, I include visual theorists (Barthes, Mitchell, Sontag) and speculate on the presence of the Holocaust photograph in Part II. I suggest that the Holocaust family photograph helps Ben fill in some of the narrative gaps from his past and distinguish his parents' historical losses, as well as his own losses, from ranshistorical absence without diminishing or negating his parents' original traumatic rupture. Finally, following from Hirsch, I discuss the photographic postmemorial aesthetic of Fugitive Pieces, and I identify, in Barthes' language, Ben's familial noeme as "born-into-absence."

description: Rooted micropropagated plantlets of Aronia arbutifolia were transplanted into sterile rootcubes and placed into a growth room under three irradiance levels. The irradiance levels consisted of 350 (low), 550 (medium) and 700 (high) pmol m~2 s . Plants were harvested from day one and at 10-day intervals. Shoot growth, number of leaves and leaf area were significantly affected by irradiance treatments. Plants grown at the lowest irradiance level developed longer shoots, larger leaf area and more roots. Repeated measurements analysis on shoot length determined that the response to low irradiance was significantly greater from the other two treatments. Seventy percent of the plants in the highest irradiance treatment died before 3 0 days. Photosynthetic rate was greater in plants grown under high irradiance. Transmission electron micrographs were taken to determine chloroplast development, including grana stacking under the three irradiance levels.

description: We have studied quantum data compression for finite quantum systems where the site density matrices are not independent, i.e., the density matrix cannot be given as direct product of site density matrices and the von Neumann entropy is not equal to the sum of site entropies. Using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method for the 1-d Hubbard model, we have shown that a simple relationship exists between the entropy of the left or right block and dimension of the Hilbert space of that block as well as of the superblock for any fixed accuracy. The information loss during the RG procedure has been investigated and a more rigorous control of the relative error has been proposed based on Kholevo's theory. Our results are also supported by the quantum chemistry version of DMRG applied to various molecules with system lengths up to 60 lattice sites. A sum rule which relates site entropies and the total information generated by the renormalization procedure has also been given which serves as an alternative test of convergence of the DMRG method.

description: The present paper is the first in a series of papers, in which we shall construct modular functors and Topological Quantum Field Theories from the conformal field theory developed in [TUY]. The basic idea is that the covariant constant sections of the sheaf of vacua associated to a simple Lie algebra over Teichmüller space of an oriented pointed surface gives the vectorspace the modular functor associates to the oriented pointed surface. However the connection on the sheaf of vacua is only projectively flat, so we need to find a suitable line bundle with a connection, such that the tensor product of the two has a flat connection. We shall construct a line bundle with a connection on any family of pointed curves with formal coordinates. By computing the curvature of this line bundle, we conclude that we actually need a fractional power of this line bundle so as to obtain a flat connection after tensoring. In order to functorially extract this fractional power, we need to construct a preferred section of the line bundle. We shall construct the line bundle by the use of the so-called $bc$-ghost systems (Faddeev-Popov ghosts) first introduced in covariant quantization [FP]. We follow the ideas of [KNTY], but decribe it from the point of view of [TUY].

Fear, Disgust, and Avoidance Among Blood-Injection-Injury Phobics Exposed to Threatening Stimuli
Creators: name: Scott, Sarah M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The current study examined the role of fear, disgust, and avoidance of injection and animal reminder disgust stimuli among BII phobics following exposure to fearful and disgusting images. Participants were separated into the Injection, Mutilation, or Control Group, and would view injection, mutilation, or flower images, respectively. Participants engaged in a hypodermic needle BAT and severed deer leg BAT prior to viewing the images and again following exposure. It was hypothesized that fear is most closely linked to the injection stimuli and would decrease with exposure, while disgust is most closely linked to the mutilation stimuli and would decrease with exposure. The hypotheses were not supported and there was no significance found between groups. However, as expected, the phobic group was significantly more afraid of and disgusted with BII relevant stimuli than non-phobics, although the severed deer leg was found to be much more aversive than the hypodermic needle.

description: We report the results of a deep Chandra survey of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find five X-ray sources with $L_X$ of at least $6\times10^{33}$ ergs/sec with optical counterparts establishing them as members of Sculptor. These X-ray luminosities indicate that these sources are X-ray binaries, as no other known class of Galactic point sources can reach 0.5-8 keV luminosities this high. Finding these systems proves definitively that such objects can exist in an old stellar population without stellar collisions. Three of these objects have highly evolved optical counterparts (giants or horizontal branch stars), as do three other sources whose X-ray luminosities are in the range which includes both quiescent low mass X-ray binaries and the brightest magnetic cataclysmic variables. We predict that large area surveys of the Milky Way should also turn up large numbers of quiescent X-ray binaries.

description: Boron and Silicon site occupancies of the T2 phase in the Cr-Si-B system were investigated experimentally and by first-principles electronic-structure calculations within the scope of the Density Functional Theory (DFT). A sample with nominal composition Cr$_{0.625}$B$_{0.175}$Si$_{0.2}$ was arc-melted under argon, encapsulated in a quartz-tube and heat-treated at 1400°C for 96 hours. It was then analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) with synchrotron radiation. An excellent agreement was obtained between experiments and theoretical calculations, revealing that Si occupies preferably the $4a$ sublattice of the structure due to the presence of weak B bonds, making the site preferences a key factor for its stabilization. The results of this work provide important information to support a better description of this phase in alloys with Si and B, since T2 phases are known to occur in many important Transition Metal-Si-B ternary systems, such as Nb/Mo/W/Ta/V-Si-B.

description: Research designed to enhance anthocyanin production in fruit has been hampered by a lack of a model system in which anthocyanin synthesis may be induced by chemical or environments factors in a similar manner as would occur in intact plants. An in vitro system has been developed using strawberry leaf discs which Alar consistently promoted anthocyanin production. Anthocyanin production was 1.27 nmoles cyanidin/cm2 with 20 mM MES [2- (morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid] buffer compared to 5.t nmoles cyanidin/cm2 in the presence of Alar. In the presence of 10 mM sucrose, anthocyanin production was 3.51 nmoles cyanidin/cm2 compared to 6.41 nmoles cyanidin/cm2 in the presence of Alar plus sucrose. Experiments with 3H-Tryptophan using strawberry leaf discs show that Alar inhibits the conversion of tryptophan to indoleacetic acid compared with those leaf discs incubated with MES alone. Exogenous applications of 0.1 mM naphthaleneacetic acid to the leaf discs inhibited anthocyanin synthesis and apparently blocked the action of Alar as an anthocyanin inducing compound. Labelled glucose experiments show that Alar promotes glucose catabolism through the pentose phosphate pathway, but only during the initial stages of anthocyanin production. Based on the data provided by these series of experiments, the mode of action of Alar in relation with anthocyanin production is associated with inhibition of auxin biosynthesis and the interference of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

description: A generalized so called magnetically controlled ballistic rain-like deposition (MBD) model of granular piles has been numerically investigated in 2D. The grains are taken to be elongated disks whence characterized by a two-state scalar degree of freedom, called ''nip'', their interaction being described through a Hamiltonian. Results are discussed in order to search for the effect of nip flip (or grain rotation from vertical to horizontal and conversely) probability in building a granular pile. The characteristics of creation of + (or $-$) nip's clusters and clusters of holes (missing nips) are analyzed. Two different cluster-mass regimes have been identified, through the cluster-mass distribution function which can be exponential or have a power law form depending on whether the nip flip (or grain rotation) probability is large or small. Analytical forms of the exponent are empirically found in terms of the Hamiltonian parameters.

On the operating mode of bimetallic systems for environmental remediation

Publisher: name: FID GEO

description: This letter challenges the concept that Fe0/Me0 bimetallic systems enhance contaminant reduction on Me0 surfaces. It is shown on a pure thermodynamic perspective that any enhancement of contaminant reduction by Fe0 in the presence of a second more electropositive elemental metal (Me0) is the result of an indirect process resulting from iron corrosion. This demonstration validates the concept that aqueous contaminant removal in the presence of Fe0 mostly occurs within an in situ generated oxide film on Fe0.

description: The percentage abscission of reproductive structures in dwarf pigeonpea cultivars (UW 10, UW 17 and UW 26) was found to be high (83 - 87%) and was similar to those recorded for tall indeterminate cultivars. Variations in the percentage abscission were observed for inflorescences in different regions in the canopy. These variations differed with the cultivar. Higher abscission rates were recorded for flowers developing at the most proximal node and buds at the distal ends of the inflorescence. Flowers at the anthesis and the post-anthesis stages of development abscised in greatest quantities. Forty-eight percent of the flowers which abscised at either anthesis or post-anthesis stages of development from node three on the inflorescence had at least one of their ovules fertilized. These results are discussed in relation to proposed theories of abscission: inadequate supply of photosynthates, hormonal signals, incomplete development of translocatory tissues and unsuccessful fertilization of ovules.

description: Superpotentials in ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric classical mechanics are no more than the Hamilton characteristic function of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory for the associated purely bosonic dynamical system. Modulo a global sign, there are several superpotentials ruling Hamilton-Jacobi separable supersymmetric systems, with a number of degrees of freedom greater than one. Here, we explore how supersymmetry and separability are entangled in the quantum version of this kind of system. We also show that the planar anisotropic harmonic oscillator and the two-Newtonian centers of force problem admit two non-equivalent supersymmetric extensions with different ground states and Yukawa couplings.

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: Changes in air transport networks over time may be induced by competition among carriers, changes in regulations on airline industry, and socioeconomic events such as terrorist attacks and epidemic outbreaks. Such network changes may reflect corporate strategies of each carrier. In the present study, we propose a framework for analyzing evolution patterns in temporal networks in discrete time from the viewpoint of recurrence. Recurrence implies that the network structure returns to one relatively close to that in the past. We applied the proposed methods to four major carriers in the US from 1987 to 2019. We found that the carriers were different in terms of the autocorrelation, strength of periodicity, and changes in these quantities across decades. We also found that the network structure of the individual carriers abruptly changes from time to time. Such a network change reflects changes in their operation at their hub airports rather than famous socioeconomic events that look closely related to airline industry. The proposed methods are expected to be useful for revealing, for example, evolution of airline alliances and responses to natural disasters or infectious diseases, as well as characterizing evolution of social, biological, and other networks over time.

description: It is well-known since the works of Utiyama and Kibble that the gravitational force can be obtained by gauging the Poincaré group, which puts gravity on the same footing as the Standard Model fields. The resulting theory -- Einstein-Cartan gravity -- inevitably contains four-fermion and scalar-fermion interactions that originate from torsion associated with spin degrees of freedom. We show that these interactions lead to a novel mechanism for producing singlet fermions in the Early Universe. These fermions can play the role of dark matter particles. The mechanism is operative in a large range of dark matter particle masses: from a few keV up to $\sim 10^8~$GeV. We discuss potential observational consequences of keV-scale dark matter produced this way, in particular for right-handed neutrinos. We conclude that a determination of the primordial dark matter momentum distribution might be able to shed light on the gravity-induced fermionic interactions.

description: Retinopathy is established as a consequence of diabetes mellitus in humans and has proven to lead to irreversible visual loss, often ending in blindness. Alterations in biochemical interactions in the retina due to chronic hyperglycemia can damage retinal vasculature leading to varying degrees of visual loss in diabetic individuals. This study proposes to further establish Danio rerio as an animal model for diabetic retinopathy. After inducing hyperglycemia in zebrafish through alternation between glucose-treated and normal water, retinal physiology was studied using ERGs to identify functional changes in the retinal tissues. Results revealed retinas exposed to hyperglycemia for 30 days had reduced b-wave activity in ERGs when compared to osmotic and water controls indicating reduced ON-center bipolar cell functionality. Reduced b-wave amplitudes were observed at peak absorption wavelengths for all four cone types. Reduced functionality in zebrafish retinas after hyperglycemia exposure supports their establishment as an animal model for diabetic retinopathy.

description: Price discovery is defined as the incorporation of information to prices through the actions of traders. Previous studies in financial markets have found evidence that informed traders may submit limit orders instead of market orders. If so, the steps of limit order book (LOB) beyond the best bid and best ask spread (BAS) contain valuable information and contribute to price discovery of the underlying asset. This is the first attempt to examine the informativeness of the LOB beyond the BAS for agricultural commodities. We reconstruct the LOB using market depth data and use three information share approaches to test whether the steps of LOB beyond the BAS contribute to price discovery in agricultural commodity markets. This is done for five major agricultural commodities namely live cattle, lean hogs, corn, wheat, and soybeans as well as the CME E-mini S&P 500. We find that a substantial market depth exists at the steps beyond the best bid and ask prices in the futures markets. The results of the three information share measures show that the steps of the LOB beyond the BAS contribute by over 27% to price discovery of futures contracts. Across agricultural commodities, the steps of the LOB beyond the BAS have more information for grains than meats. Moreover, we find that the steps closer to the top of the book, relative to the steps farther, contain more information. These findings suggest that informed traders in futures electronic markets actively use limit orders with price steps beyond the BAS and especially the steps near the top of the book. The results also show that for E-mini S&P 500, the steps closer to the top of the book contain more information at the beginning and the end of the week whereas steps farther have more information in the middle of the week.

description: Linear complementarity problems are a powerful tool for modeling many practically relevant situations such as market equilibria. They also connect many sub-areas of mathematics like game theory, optimization, and matrix theory. Despite their close relation to optimization, the protection of LCPs against uncertainties -- especially in the sense of robust optimization -- is still in its infancy. During the last years, robust LCPs have only been studied using the notions of strict and $Γ$-robustness. Unfortunately, both concepts lead to the problem that the existence of robust solutions cannot be guaranteed. In this paper, we consider affinely adjustable robust LCPs. In the latter, a part of the LCP solution is allowed to adjust via a function that is affine in the uncertainty. We show that this notion of robustness allows to establish strong characterizations of solutions for the cases of uncertain matrix and vector, separately, from which existence results can be derived. Our main results are valid for the case of an uncertain LCP vector. Here, we additionally provide sufficient conditions on the LCP matrix for the uniqueness of a solution. Moreover, based on characterizations of the affinely adjustable robust solutions, we derive a mixed-integer programming formulation that allows to solve the corresponding robust counterpart. If, in addition, the certain LCP matrix is positive semidefinite, we prove polynomial-time solvability and uniqueness of robust solutions. If the LCP matrix is uncertain, characterizations of solutions are developed for every nominal matrix, i.e., these characterizations are, in particular, independent of the definiteness of the nominal matrix. Robust solutions are also shown to be unique for positive definite LCP matrix but both uniqueness and mixed-integer programming formulations still remain open problems if the nominal LCP matrix is not psd.

description: Retinopathy is established as a consequence of diabetes mellitus in humans and has proven to lead to irreversible visual loss, often ending in blindness. Alterations in biochemical interactions in the retina due to chronic hyperglycemia can damage retinal vasculature leading to varying degrees of visual loss in diabetic individuals. This study proposes to further establish Danio rerio as an animal model for diabetic retinopathy. After inducing hyperglycemia in zebrafish through alternation between glucose-treated and normal water, retinal physiology was studied using ERGs to identify functional changes in the retinal tissues. Results revealed retinas exposed to hyperglycemia for 30 days had reduced b-wave activity in ERGs when compared to osmotic and water controls indicating reduced ON-center bipolar cell functionality. Reduced b-wave amplitudes were observed at peak absorption wavelengths for all four cone types. Reduced functionality in zebrafish retinas after hyperglycemia exposure supports their establishment as an animal model for diabetic retinopathy.

description: Objective: To evaluate the usefulness and reliability of Occipitofrontal Circumference (OFC) and Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) as proxies to predict LBW when and where an infant weight machine is not available or measuring troublesome or may give wrong value. This will provide base-line data for local population and employ for further study to identify LBW by using these two parameters – OFC and MUAC.
 Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study; conducted on 325 live births delivered during the period June 2013 to December 2013 at the 1st Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, P.R. China. The baby is born either through vaginal route or by lower (uterine) segment Caesarean section (LUCS). Infants with gross congenital anomalies, toxemic mothers and who were not the first babies in the family were not included in the study. Birth weight, OFC and MUAC were taken within 24 hours of birth using standard technique. The data obtained was subjected to a computer based analysis and statistical analysis was drawn using the SPSS version 17.0. Results: There were 179 males and 146 female infants. The birth weight of all newborns ranged from 1750 gm to 4050 gm with an average of 2952.3 gm. Birth weights of male infants ranged from 1750 gm to 3850 gm with an average of 2959.6 gm. Similarly, birth weights of female infants ranged from 1950 gm to 4050 gm with an average of 2939.78 gm. The incidence of LBW in the study was 9.54% (n= 31). Conclusion: OFC of all neonates ranged from 30cm to 38.8 cm with an average of 33.83 cm. The OFC of male neonates ranged from 30 cm to 38.8 cm with an average of 33.95 cm. Similarly, the OFC of female neonates ranged from 31.2cm to 36.8 cm with an average of 33.71cm. MUAC of all neonates ranged from 6.8 cm to 11.8 cm with an average of 9.27 cm. The MUAC of male neonates ranged from 6.8 cm to 11.4 cm with an average of 9.34 cm. Similarly, the MUAC of female neonates ranged from 7.2 cm to 11.8 cm with an average of 9.18 cm.

description: In this work we study a charged particle in the presence of both a continuous distribution of disclinations and a continuous distribution of edge dislocations in the framework of the geometrical theory of defects. We obtain the self-energy for a single charge both in the internal and external regions of either distribution. For both distributions the result outside the defect distribution is the self-energy that a single charge experiments in the presence of a single defect.

description: Schwarzschild black holes in a de Sitter background were studied in terms of their thermodynamics based on the Rényi statistics. This led to thermodynamically stable black hole configurations for some certain range of black hole radii; namely within this range the corresponding black holes have positive heat capacity. Moreover, for a certain background temperature there can exist at most three configurations of black hole; one among which is thermodynamically stable. These configurations were investigated in terms of their free energies, resulting in the moderate-sized stable black hole configuration being the most preferred configuration. Furthermore, a specific condition on the Rényi non-extensive parameter is required if a given hot spacetime were to evolve thermally into the moderate-sized stable black hole.

The Impact of Implementation Intentions in a Worksite Pedometer Challenge
Creators: name: Tasman, Leah Diane
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The prevalence of sedentary lifestyles has led to progressively more unhealthy individuals, which contributes to an unproductive workforce. To address these issues and the related expenditures due to healthcare and lost productivity, workplace health promotion programs have acknowledged the capacity of various physical activity interventions including pedometer-based walking programs. Employing an implementation intention approach to these programs and delivering these planning messages through email has potential to strengthen health promotion programs. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact that email-delivered implementation intentions have on physical activity behaviors of participants in a worksite pedometer program. Fifty-six employees at American University who participated in a six-week pedometer challenge were part of a randomized controlled experiment in which intervention group participants received planning emails that featured implementation intentions over the course of the challenge as well as six-weeks post challenge. The results of the study demonstrated a significantly greater increase in walking among intervention group participants during the pedometer program. It was concluded that the use of implementation intention emails may increase adherence to walking in association with a worksite pedometer challenge and that health promotion practitioners should include this approach when designing programs to increase physical activity.

description: Different levels of fertilization with N and K20 were evaluated (0:0; 2:5; 4:10 and 8:20 g/plant) to determine the effects on yield and quality of Ananas comosus L. var. *Smooth Cayene'. This study was conducted in the central jungle region of Peru. A significant increase of fruits average weight was observed. Total yield (TM/Ha) increased significantly with the application of N and K20. These fertilization levels also determined differences in fruit quality. It was observed that increased levels of fertilization significantly increased "D" leaf size.

description: Abstract: Among European bogs the “Großes Moosbruch” area in Kaliningradskaja Oblast must rate as a very important one. Its coming into existence is closely related to changes of the Baltic Sea coast during the Holocene. Climatic conditions are determined by its location in the transition region between the southern and eastern Baltic regions having a rainfall of 700 mm/a. Along the neighbouring rivers fens developed followed by a small strip of poor fens. The central compact section consists of a high moor overlaying the fens and transition bogs below. In the middle of the 18th century melioration of the bog began starting at the edges and along the rivers colonist villages were established. This process of colonization continued until the middle of the 19th century. The central part of the “Großes Moosbruch” always remained a treeless high moor. In the years 1903/05 geological surveying and mapping was carried out in this region providing a comprehensive documentation of the bog structure. In 1944/45 the colonist villages were abandoned. They were never used as settlements again and these days have almost disappeared completely. The former agricultural land is now covered by a 60-year old forest. Our investigations in 2005 were a first start. Subsidies should allow a comprehensive study of the bog in order to document the worthiness of protection of this area.
description: Zusammenfassung: In der Rangfolge der europäischen Moore ist das Große Moosbruch in der Kaliningradskaja Oblast sehr bedeutend. Seine Entstehung ist eng mit Veränderungen der südlichen Ostseeküste im Holozän verbunden. Klimatisch liegt es zwischen der südbaltischen zur ostbaltischen Region mit Regenmengen um 700 mm/a. Entlang der umgebenden Flüsse entstand Niedermoor, dem ein schmaler Streifen Übergangsmoor folgt. Der zentrale Teil besteht aus Hochmoor, welches Nieder- und Übergangsmoor in tieferen Schichten überlagert. Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde von den Rändern aus mit der Melioration des Moores begonnen und längs der Flüsse erfolgte die Anlage von Koloniedörfern bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Das Hochmoor des Großen Moosbruches blieb dabei immer unangetastet und waldfrei. In den Jahren 1903/05 erfolgte eine geologische Sonderkartierung, die den Mooraufbau umfassend dokumentierte. 1944/45 wurden die Koloniedörfer verlassen und nie wieder besiedelt. Sie sind heute verschwunden. Auf den ehemaligen Grünland- und Ackerflächen stockt jetzt 60-jähriger Wald. Unsere Untersuchungen im Jahre 2005 waren ein Anfang. Fördermittel sollten eine umfassende moorkundliche Aufnahme ermöglichen, um den Schutzwert dieses Moores zu dokumentieren.

description: Strangeness-changing decays of $B$ mesons to three-body final states of pions and kaons are studied, assuming that they are dominated by a $ΔI=0$ penguin amplitude with flavor structure $\bar b \to \bar s$. Numerous isospin relations for $B\to Kππ$ and for underlying quasi-two-body decays are compared successfully with experiment, in some cases resolving ambiguities in fitting resonance parameters. The only exception is a somewhat small branching ratio noted in $B^0\to K^{*0}π^0$, interpreted in terms of destructive interference between a penguin amplitude and an enhanced electroweak penguin contribution. Relations for B decays into three kaons are derived in terms of final states involving $K_S$ or $K_L$, assuming that $ϕK$-subtracted decay amplitudes are symmetric in $K$ and $\bar K$, as has been observed experimentally. Rates due to nonresonant backgrounds are studied using a simple model, which may reduce discrete ambiguities in Dalitz plot analyses.
