description: The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL111A gene encodes several homologs of the cellular interleukin 10 (cIL-10). Alternative splicing in the UL111A region produces two relatively well-characterized transcripts designated cmvIL-10 (isoform A) and LAcmvIL-10 (isoform B). The cmvIL-10 protein is the best characterized, both structurally and functionally, and has many immunosuppressive activities similar to cIL-10, while LAcmvIL-10 has more restricted biological activities. Alternative splicing also results in five less studied UL111A transcripts encoding additional proteins homologous to cIL-10 (isoforms C to G). These transcripts were identified during productive HCMV infection of MRC-5 cells with the high passage laboratory adapted AD169 strain, and the structure and properties of the corresponding proteins are largely unknown. Moreover, it is unclear whether these protein isoforms are able to bind the cellular IL-10 receptor and induce signalling. In the present study, we investigated the expression spectrum of UL111A transcripts in fully permissive MRC-5 cells and semi permissive U251 cells infected with the low passage HCMV strain TB40E. We identified a new spliced transcript (H) expressed during productive infection. Using computational methods, we carried out molecular modelling studies on the three-dimensional structures of the HCMV IL-10 proteins encoded by the transcripts detected in our work (cmvIL-10 (A), LAcmvIL-10 (B), E, F and H) and on their interaction with the human IL-10 receptor (IL-10R1). The modelling predicts clear differences between the isoform structures. Furthermore, the in silico simulations (molecular dynamics simulation and normal-mode analyses) allowed us to evaluate regions that contain potential receptor binding sites in each isoform. The analyses demonstrate that the complexes between the isoforms and IL-10R1 present different types of molecular interactions and consequently different affinities and stabilities. The knowledge about structure and expression of specific viral IL-10 isoforms has implications for understanding of their properties and role in HCMV immune evasion and pathogenesis.

description: The three classical models for synthetically generated social networks, Erdos-Renyi, Barabasi-Albert, and Watts-Strogatz have been shown to not reflect real world social networks. Spatial versions of these networks, which take into account the distance between nodes when determining the probability that two nodes connect, have been proposed to improve their realism, but these spatial versions were not tested with real world data. We altered the code for the spatial versions of the three classical models to accommodate real world data, namely the CBG coordinates for Fairfax County. In this project, we evaluate the realism of the networks generated by this code, by collecting descriptive statistics such as the number of triangles and the average length of edges, as real world networks are likely to have high clustering and nodes are more likely to connect to nodes that are near them. Our experimental results show that the networks that were generated by the spatial versions of the three models had a higher clustering coefficient, a higher number of triangles, and a lower average distance between connected nodes than their nonspatial counterparts. The visual representations of the spatial networks also demonstrated clear clustering. This implies that the networks which take distance between nodes into account are more similar to real world networks.

description: Challenges associated with mRNA vaccines include adverse reactions, poor organ targeting upon injection, and mRNA viability in the cell. The solution lies in optimizing the vaccine’s delivery mechanism using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effectively transport mRNA into cells and express immunogens post-injection while enhancing adjuvant activity. Several lipid molecules were designed and synthesized through standard procedures based on lipids such as Moderna (SM-102), Pfizer-BioNTech (ALC-0315), and Onpattro (MC3). Novel lipid molecules with polyamine heads (cyclic, acyclic, or both) and linkers (donating alcohols and withdrawing esters) were designed and synthesized to understand the chelating effect on mRNA encapsulation and stability. Their functionality was predicted and compared to the lipid MC3. Physico-chemical properties such as size, Z-average, and PDI are measured by Dynamic light scattering (DLS). The lipids that were tested and synthesized, 666 through 670, had particularly low pKa values, whereas epoxide-opening lipids had a pKa of around 5.5-6.2. To increase the pKa, reactions with epoxide tails and lower equivalence ratios were implemented to obtain pKa values between 6.3-6.7. This research found that using epoxide-based and lower-equivalence reactions could allow for lipid synthesis at a higher pKa, enabling appropriate adjuvant allocation with similar efficacy.

description: The Einstein-Maxwell theory has black hole solutions with electric and magnetic charges. In the standard model for particle physics, dyons with electric and magnetic charges would have been formed in the early universe. We derive the equations of motion of black hole binaries with electric and magnetic charges and explore some features of static orbits. We calculate the total emission rates of energy and angular momentum due to gravitational and electromagnetic radiations from dyonic binary black holes in different cases. It is shown that the emission rates of energy and angular momentum due to gravitational and electromagnetic radiations have the same dependence on the conic angle for different orbits. Moreover, we obtain the evolutions of orbits and find that a circular orbit remains circular while an elliptic orbit becomes quasi-circular due to electromagnetic and gravitational radiations. Our results provide rich information about black hole binaries with electric and magnetic charges and can be used to test black holes with magnetic charges.

Farmers' attitudes regarding climate change: How risk awareness and perception effects adaptive capacity?
Creators: name: Ricart, S.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Water resources management and climate change represent two necessarily interdisciplinary topics in which the natural and social sciences must be integrated [1]. Although this nexus was generally overlooked in the accurate statistics and modelling literature by mostly focusing on understanding the natural processes, a paradigm shift is required to put social in the modelling loop [2]. Consequently, water domains (physical, social, political, and symbolic matters) should be entwined in research configurations by considering social learning, personal experience, observations, and human choices. As argued by [3], deepen social perception is fundamental for two main reasons: as a key component of the socio-political context and as the first step for behaviour transformation and attitude change. In this line, social and behavioural sciences have discussed associative processing methods, such as social surveys, to monitor the nature, extent, significance, and influence of personal experience regarding human-nature interactions [4]. Farmers develop their activity supporting the complexity of interrelated nature and human systems characterized by biophysical conditions and social behaviour [5]. Consequently, farmers are in a favourable position to provide first-hand observations and narratives of water resources availability and climate change perceived impacts [6]. Could social surveys contribute to deepening farmers’ behaviour on water supply and climate change impacts while providing new social scenarios to advance understanding of data-mining, processing, and modelling of human-water systems? This contribution provides an upgraded and comprehensive overview of the social surveys added-value in building a methodological approach and defining an intellectual structure to monitoring farmers’ behaviour on water-climate change nexus. The literature review will provide new insides to be discussed for policy formulation and implementation at the local and the regional scale. [1] G. Escribano-Francés, P. Quevauviller, E.

description: The "French Maritime Economic Data" report is periodically published by Ifremer since 1997. It presents an economic assessment of the French maritime activities, their position in the national economy and in the world competition, as well as the significance of non market public services. Maritime activities in the industrial sector are assessed using a standard metrics to facilitate the periodical update of the report: turnover, gross value added, employment, number of enterprises, exports. These indicators are expressed at national level. The public sector is described by annual budgets, number of staff and personnel costs, broken down into the different public policy functions. Regional indicators are provided on activities whenever relevant and available. In addition, an effort is made to better take into account the European dimension of each maritime activity.

description: The tree complex is a simplicial complex defined in recent work of Belk, Lanier, Margalit, and Winarski with natural applications to mapping class groups and complex dynamics. In this article, we connect this setting with the study of certain convex polytopes: associahedra and cyclohedra. Specifically, we describe a characterization of these polytopes using planar embeddings of trees and show that the tree complex is the barycentric subdivision of a polyhedral cell complex for which the cells are products of associahedra and cyclohedra.

title: ‘Indeed amongst agriculturalists, there is something like free-masonry – we are all brethren’: Exploring agricultural friendship in late Georgian England
Creators: name: Matthews, Hilary
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: This thesis concerns a diverse group of men interested in promoting progressive farming and their agricultural friendship. Largely ignored by scholarship, these men were active during the class-conscious world of late Georgian Britain when close social mixing was rare on a quasi-equal basis. It draws attention to the role influential landowners played in bringing together the best scientific and practical agriculturalists regardless of social rank and their importance in engendering fellowship among them, seeing it as essential in moving agriculture forward. It explores what made this friendship possible, how it worked in practice, the parameters it operated within and the extent to which it could negotiate factors such as the class issue. It establishes that respect and mutual benefit were essential elements within the agricultural friendship of the group. Chapter One explores political affiliation and identifies the importance of Whig egalitarianism in engendering fellowship at their events. Chapter Two establishes the importance of a shared agricultural interest in facilitating relationships between socially diverse men. Chapter Three explores agricultural friendship under tension, revealing how shared objectives and respect enabled men to overcome their differences. The final chapter draws attention to the importance dining together played in facilitating fraternity. The thesis’s investigation into agricultural friendship re-embeds this neglected group into the agricultural social history of the late Georgian period. It draws attention to the patriotic aspect of their events and the part Whiggism played in this. It identifies the importance of fraternity to these agriculturalists, contributing to a clearer understanding of friendship and its capacity to cross barriers. The thesis concludes that where a strong common interest brings people together, sharing knowledge through mutual exchange and practical experience, the resultant fellowship can bridge social divides and, in the process, become a powerful engine of creativity and innovation within their shared field of interest.

description: Kernel smoothers are essential tools for data analysis due to their ability to convey complex statistical information with concise graphical visualisations. Their inclusion in the base distribution and in the many user-contributed add-on packages of the R statistical analysis environment caters well to many practitioners. Though there remain some important gaps for specialised data, most notably for tidy and geospatial data. The proposed eks package fills in these gaps. In addition to kernel density estimation, this package also caters for more complex data analysis situations, such as density derivative estimation, density-based classification (supervised learning) and mean shift clustering (unsupervised learning). We illustrate with experimental data how to obtain and to interpret the statistical visualisations for these kernel smoothing methods.

description: We introduce a model for the retrieval of information hidden in legal texts. These are typically organised in a hierarchical (tree) structure, which a reader interested in a given provision needs to explore down to the "deepest" level (articles, clauses,...). We assess the structural complexity of legal trees by computing the mean first-passage time a random reader takes to retrieve information planted in the leaves. The reader is assumed to skim through the content of a legal text based on their interests/keywords, and be drawn towards the sought information based on keywords affinity, i.e. how well the Chapters/Section headers of the hierarchy seem to match the informational content of the leaves. Using randomly generated keyword patterns, we investigate the effect of two main features of the text -- the horizontal and vertical coherence -- on the searching time, and consider ways to validate our results using real legal texts. We obtain numerical and analytical results, the latter based on a mean-field approximation on the level of patterns, which lead to an explicit expression for the complexity of legal trees as a function of the structural parameters of the model. Policy implications of our results are briefly discussed.

description: We present the first calculation of a fully-unintegrated parton distribution (beam function) at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We obtain the fully-differential beam function for quark-initiated processes by matching it onto standard parton distribution functions (PDFs) at two loops. The fully-differential beam function is a universal ingredient in resummed predictions of observables probing both the virtuality as well as the transverse momentum of the incoming quark in addition to its usual longitudinal momentum fraction. For such double-differential observables our result provides the part of the NNLO singular cross section related to collinear initial-state radiation (ISR), and is important for the resummation of large logarithms through N3LL.

description: When a continuous symmetry is spontaneously broken in nonrelativistic systems, there appear either type-I or type-II Nambu-Goldstone modes (NGMs) with linear or quadratic dispersion relation, respectively. When equation of motion or the potential term has an enhanced symmetry larger than that of Lagrangian or Hamiltonian, there can appear quasi-NGMs if it is spontaneously broken. We construct a theory to count the numbers of type-I and type-II quasi-NGMs and NGMs, when the potential term has a symmetry of a non-compact group. We show that the counting rule based on the Watanabe-Brauner matrix is valid only in the absence of quasi-NGMs because of non-hermitian generators, while that based on the Gram matrix [DT & MN, arXiv:1404.7696, Ann. Phys. 354, 101 (2015)] is still valid in the presence of quasi-NGMs. We show that there exist two types of type-II gapless modes, a genuine NGM generated by two conventional zero modes (ZMs) originated from the Lagrangian symmetry, and quasi-NGM generated by a coupling of one conventional ZMand one quasi-ZM, which is originated from the enhanced symmetry, or two quasi-ZMs. We find that, depending on the moduli, some NGMs can change to quasi-NGMs and vice versa with preserving the total number of gapless modes. The dispersion relations are systematically calculated by a perturbation theory. The general result is illustrated by the complex linear $O(N)$ model, containing the two types of type-II gapless modes and exhibiting the change between NGMs and quasi-NGMs.

description: In this paper we characterize all distributional limits of the random quadratic form $T_n =\sum_{1\le u< v\le n} a_{u, v} X_u X_v$, where $((a_{u, v}))_{1\le u,v\le n}$ is a $\{0, 1\}$-valued symmetric matrix with zeros on the diagonal and $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ are i.i.d.~ mean $0$ variance $1$ random variables with common distribution function $F$. In particular, we show that any distributional limit of $S_n:=T_n/\sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[T_n]}$ can be expressed as the sum of three independent components: a Gaussian, a (possibly) infinite weighted sum of independent centered chi-squares, and a Gaussian mixture with a random variance. As a consequence, we prove a fourth moment theorem for the asymptotic normality of $S_n$, which applies even when $F$ does not have finite fourth moment. More formally, we show that $S_n$ converges to $N(0, 1)$ if and only if the fourth moment of $S_n$ (appropriately truncated when $F$ does not have finite fourth moment) converges to 3 (the fourth moment of the standard normal distribution).

description: Individual responses to behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders vary considerably, which requires a better understanding of underlying processes. In this study, we examined the violation and change of threat beliefs during exposure. From 8,484 standardized exposure records of 605 patients with different anxiety disorders, learning indicators were derived: expectancy violation as mismatch between threat expectancy before exposure and threat occurrence, expectancy change as difference between original and adjusted expectancy after exposure, and prediction-error learning rate as extent to which expectancy violation transferred into change. Throughout sessions, high threat expectancy but low occurrence and adjusted expectancy indicated successful violation and change of threat beliefs by exposure. Expectancy violation, change, and learning rate substantially varied between patients. Not expectancy violation itself, but higher learning rate and expectancy change predicted better treatment outcome. Successful exposure thus requires expectancy violation to induce actual expectancy change, supporting learning from prediction error as transdiagnostic mechanism underlying successful exposure therapy.
title: Ethische Diskurse, ihre Akteur*innen sowie ihr veränderndes Potenzial in Österreichs Journalismus
Creators: name: Krottenhammer, Iris

description: Es ist höchste Zeit wieder vermehrt über Ethik im Journalismus zu sprechen! Gerade die aktuellen Ereignisse in Österreich, wie etwa die Infragestellung der Unabhängigkeit einer Zeitung durch die Aussagen eines Politikers oder die grenzüberschreitenden und unethischen Veröffentlichungen über den Terroranschlag in Wien, streichen dies hervor. Konsument*innen laufen im Internet und seinen sozialen Medien Gefahr, unethischen Inhalten und demokratieschädigenden Falschinformationen aufzusitzen. Gerade in Zeiten einer Pandemie ist eine gut informierte Bevölkerung Fundament für eine funktionierende Demokratie. In der Ethik liegt ein Potenzial für klassische Medien, wieder an Bedeutung zu gewinnen. Deswegen beschäftige ich mich in dieser Arbeit mit ethischen Diskursen in Österreichs Journalismus, ihren Akteur*innen und ihrem verändernden Potenzial. Ich behandle im theoretischen Teil die journalistische Ethik und gebe unter anderem einen umfassenden Überblick über den österreichischen Medienmarkt. Dabei beachte ich vor allem medienethisch relevante Spezifika, gehe auf die Finanzierung, den Presserat, die Selbstregulierung und die Regulierung von außen näher ein. In der Analyse arbeite ich sowohl die unterschiedlichen Diskurspartner*innen der Journalist*innen als auch fördernde und hindernde Aspekte für die Entstehung ethischer Diskurse heraus. Darüber hinaus beleuchte ich verschiedene Handlungsmöglichkeiten der Journalist*innen bei inneren ethischen Konflikten und weitere Auswirkungen der Nichterfüllung ihrer ethischen Normen.

description: Over $\mathbb{C}$, Montgomery superized Herstein's construction of simple Lie algebras from finite-dimensional associative algebras, found obstructions to the procedure and applied it to $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded associative algebra of differential operators with polynomial coefficients.
 Since the 1990s, Vasiliev and Konstein with their co-authors constructed (via the Herstein--Montgomery method, having rediscovered it) simple Lie (super)algebras from the associative (super)algebra such as Vasiliev's higher spin algebras (a.k.a. algebras of observables of the rational Calogero model) and algebras of symplectic reflections.
 The "queerification" is another method for cooking a~simple Lie superalgebra from the simple associative (super)algebra. The above examples of associative (super)algebras, and Lie (super)algebras of "matrices of complex size" can be "queerified" by adding new elements resembling Faddeev--Popov ghosts.
 Conjectures: 1) a "queerified" Hamiltonian describes a version of the Calogero model with $1\vert 1$-dimensional time; 2) metabelean algebras and inhomogeneous subalgebras of Lie superalgebras naturally widen supersymmetries in future theories; 3) only graded-commutative algebras can imitate algebras of functions in a reasonably rich non-commutative Geometry.

title: Robotic perception and manipulation of garments
Creators: name: Duan, Li
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: This thesis introduces an effective robotic garment flattening pipeline and robotic perception paradigms for predicting garments’ geometric (shape) and physics properties. Robotic garment manipulation is a popular and challenging task in robotic research. Due to the high dimensionality of garments, object states of garments are infinite. Also, garments deform irregularly during manipulations, which makes predicting their deformations difficult. However, robotic garment manipulation is an essential topic in robotic research. Robotic laundry and household sorting play a vital role in an ageing society, and automated manufacturing requires robots to be able to grasp different mechanical components, some of which are deformable objects. Also, robot-aided garment dressing is essential for the community with disabilities. Therefore, designing and implementing effective robotic garment manipulation pipelines are necessary but challenging. This thesis mainly focuses on designing an effective robotic garment flattening pipeline. Therefore, this thesis is divided into two main parts: robotic perception and robotic manipulation. Below is a summary of the research in this PhD thesis: • Robotic perception provides prior knowledge on garment attributes (geometrical (shape) and physics properties) that facilitates robotic garment flattening. Continuous perception paradigms are introduced for predicting shapes and visually perceived garments weights. • A reality-simulation knowledge transferring paradigm for predicting the physics properties of real garments and fabrics has been proposed in this thesis. • The second part of this thesis is robotic manipulation. This thesis suggests learning the known configurations of garments with prior knowledge of garments’ geometric (shape) properties and selecting pre-designed manipulation strategies to flatten garments. The robotic manipulation part takes advantage of the geometric (shape) properties learned from the robotic perception part to recognise the known configurations of garments, demonstrating the importance of robotic perception in robotic manipulation. The experiment results of this thesis revealed that: 1). A robot gains confidence in prediction (shapes and visually perceived weights of unseen garments) from continuously perceiving video frames of unseen garments being grasped, where high accuracies on predictions (93% for shapes and 98.5 % for visually perceived weights) are obtained; 2). Predicting the physics properties of real garments and fabrics can be realised by learning physics similarities between simulated fabrics. The approach in this thesis outperforms SOTA (34 % improvement on real fabrics and 68.1 % improvement for real garments); 3). Compared with state-of-the-art robotic garment flattening, this thesis enables the flattening of garments of various shapes (five shapes) and fast and effective manipulations. Therefore, this thesis advanced SOTA of robotic perception and manipulation (flattening) of garments.

description: Ce rapport fait suite au stage de Marine Pischedda (Master 2 La Rochelle) réalisé au sein de l’unité de recherche "Lagons, Ecosystèmes et Aquaculture Durable en Nouvelle-Calédonie" (LEAD/NC) de l’Ifremer entre février et juillet 2016. Cette étude a été conduite sur quatre bassins versants du Grand Nouméa : la Coulée, la Dumbéa Est, la Dumbéa Nord et la Couvelée. L’objectif principal était de démontrer la pertinence de l’utilisation de modèle pluie-débit au pas de temps horaire (GR4H en l’occurrence) sur les bassins versants calédoniens. Le cadre plus général de ce travail était d’aboutir à une représentation affinée du continuum terre-mer par le couplage des modèles GR4H et MARS3D développés pour simuler la circulation côtière. Les périodes d’étiages ayant un impact au lagon spatialement restreint, les évènements d’intérêt sont donc principalement les épisodes de crues auxquels est soumis l’environnement calédonien. L’étude montre clairement que, pour des bassins sur lesquels nous disposons d’une série de données suffisantes (> 5 ans), le modèle GR4H avec la méthode proposée d’optimisation aboutit à une pertinence des simulations très satisfaisante (NSE > 0.75 pour les 4 bassins). Si il est possible d’extrapoler les paramètres obtenus sur la Dumbéa Est et la Dumbéa Nord à la Coulée, l’opération est moins évidente pour la Couvelée, qui, bien qu’étant contigüe à la Dumbéa Nord présente des caractéristiques hydrologiques radicalement différentes des autres bassins. Enfin, l’utilisation couplée de GR4H et des lames d’eau Antilope a été explorée, ouvrant la voie à la simulation en temps réel des débits des rivières où la donnée de pluie est difficilement collectable. Le modèle GR4H présente donc de nombreux avantages pour la communauté scientifique mais aussi pour les gestionnaires de la ressource en eau.
The Dzhumadildaev brackets: a hidden supersymmetry of commutators and the Amitsur-Levitzki--type identities

description: The Amitsur--Levitzki identity for matrices was generalized in several directions: by Kostant for simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras, by Kirillov (later joined by Kontsevich, Molev, Ovsienko, and Udalova) for simple vectorial Lie algebras with polynomial coefficients, and by Gie, Pinczon, and Ushirobira for the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|n)$. Dzhumadildaev switched the focus of attention in these results by considering the algebra formed by antisymmetrizors and discovered a hidden supersymmetry of commutators. We overview these results and their possible generalizations (open problems).

EUSeaMap. Broad Scale Seabed Habitat Mapping Technical Guide. Based on the example of the Black Sea basin
Creators: name: Vasquez, Mickael
Publisher: name: Ifremer
Year: 2017

description: This technical guide aims to help the reader understand, with a focus on the Black Sea basin, what composes the GIS workflow models that were developed as part of EMODnet Seabed Habitats1 phase 2 to produce a broad scale seabed habitat map, EUSeaMap. The general methods that are employed highly build on a methodology that was originally developed within the framework of MESH Project whose general principles are described in Coltman et al (2008). We highly recommend this short document be read before going through the current one. Further explanation on the way we employ some concepts such as fuzzy laws or Generalized Linear Models (GLM) in the context of broad scale seabed habitat mapping will be found in the EUSeaMap phase 2 technical report Populus et al (2017). We particularly recommend sections 2.4 and 2.5, as well as appendixes 9 and 12.

description: Der Hörfunk durchlebt in der zunehmenden Digitalisierung der Medien einen radikalen Umbruch und modifiziert sich zu einem crossmedialen und visuellen Radio. Vor diesem Hintergrund scheint es daher notwendig, zu verstehen, welche Erfahrungen Radiomoderator*innen mit der Crossmedialisierung und Visualisierung des Hörfunks machen. Den theoretischen Anker bilden dafür der technologische Determinismus, die Innovationstheorie sowie der Ansatz der Diffusion of innovations, die als einander ergänzende Theorien zu betrachten sind. Folgende Forschungsfragen wurden dafür aufgestellt: 1. Was verstehen Radiomoderator*innen unter der Crossmedialisierung und Visualisierung des Radios? 2. Welche Bedeutung haben die Crossmedialisierung und Visualisierung für Radiomoderator*innen und Hörfunkanstalten? 3. Welche Chancen und Herausforderungen ergeben sich aus der Sicht von Radiomoderator*innen durch die Crossmedialisierung und Visualisierung des Radios für Hörfunkanstalten? 4. Welche Chancen und Herausforderungen ergeben sich durch die Crossmedialisierung und Visualisierung des Radios für Radiomoderator*innen? 5. Wie hat sich die Rolle von Radiomoderator*innen durch die zunehmende Crossmedialisierung und Visualisierung des Radios verändert? 6. Was erwarten sich Radiomoderator*innen hinsichtlich der zukünftigen Entwicklung des Radios? Für die Untersuchung wurden im April 2021 sechs Leitfadeninterviews mit Moderator*innen österreichischer Hörfunkanstalten sowie eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz durchgeführt. Für eine zusätzliche wissenschaftliche Betrachtung der Ergebnisse erfolgte im Anschluss ein Interview mit Universitätsprofessor und Radiojournalist Rainer Rosenberg. Die Auswertung zeigt, dass die Crossmedialisierung und Visualisierung bereits viele Aufgabenbereiche der Moderator*innen berühren und nicht nur mit Chancen, sondern auch mit Herausforderungen sowohl für Moderierende als auch Hörfunkunternehmen einhergehen. Aber auch die Rolle von Radiomoderator*innen hat sich dementsprechend stark verändert und dazu geführt, dass sie nunmehr als crossmediale Allrounder zu begreifen sind.

description: Fix a non-square integer $k\neq 0$. We show that the number of curves $E_B:y^2=x^3+kB^2$ containing an integral point, where $B$ ranges over positive integers less than $N$, is bounded by $O_k(N(\log N)^{-\frac{1}{2}+ε})$. In particular, this implies that the number of positive integers $B\leq N$ such that $-3kB^2$ is the discriminant of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ is $o(N)$. The proof involves a discriminant-lowering procedure on integral binary cubic forms.
