Ixodes kopsteini

description: Ixodes kopsteini (Oudemans, 1926)
 Ixodes kopsteini is a widely distributed species that was originally described from the Moluccan Islands by Oudemans (1925, 1927). In 1961, Ixodes paradoxus, which is a junior synonym of I. kopsteini, was described from Malaysia and the Congo in Africa (Kohls and Clifford 1961, 1968), while later records include the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia and New Guinea (Kohls and Clifford 1968; Robbins et al. 2004), as well as the Pacific Islands and Australia (Roberts 1970; Hoogstraal 1982). This is a parasite of bats, including the families Pteropodidae, Molossidae and Vespertilionidae, and its habitat is restricted to bat caves (Hoogstraal 1982). Ixodes kopsteini is the only species of tick in which the eggs hatch to larvae inside the body of the dead female (Anastos et al. 1973).
 The female is illustrated in Kohls and Clifford (1961, as I. paradoxus), the male in Kohls and Clifford (1968).

Subjects: Citizen Science, partizipative Wissenschaft, offene Wissenschaft, public science

description: Citizen Science oder Bürgerwissenschaft bezeichnet Forschungstätigkeiten, die von Menschen durchgeführt werden, die nicht beruflich als Wissenschaftler arbeiten. Wege, auf solch eine Art und Weise Wissenschaft zu betreiben, gibt es viele – vom ehrenamtlichen Naturschutz über experimentelle Archäologie, partizipative Gesundheitsforschung bis Serious Games in der Biomedizin und darüber hinaus.

Der Vortrag führt in das Thema Citizen Science ein, beleuchtet verschiedene Beispiele und Traditionslinien und gibt einen Überblick über aktuelle Entwicklungen in Deutschland und Europa.

Anhand von Konzepten zu Offener Wissenschaft und Öffentlicher Wissenschaft werden Fragen vorgestellt, die dazu anregen sollen, den gegenwärtigen Erfolg von Citizen Science in breitere Zusammenhänge einzuordnen und zu hinterfragen. Auf dieser Basis soll gemeinsam diskutiert werden, wie Bürgerbeteiligung und Wissenschaft sich gegenseitig bereichern können.

Der Vortrag wurde am Donnerstag, 27. Juni 2019 in der Reihe Studium Generale an der Hochschule Furtwangen gehalten.
Current Algebra and Integrability of Principal Chiral Model on the World-sheet with General Metric

description: We study the classical current algebra for principial chiral model defined on two dimensional world-sheet with general metric. We develop the Hamiltonian formalism and determine the form of the Poisson brackets between currents. Then we determine the Poisson bracket for Lax connection and we show that this Possion bracket does not depend on the world-sheet metric. We also study the Nambu-Gotto form of this model. We prove an existence of the Lax connection and determine their Poisson bracket.

description: Suppose that $m_n$ observations are made from the distribution $\mathbf {R}$ and $n-m_n$ from the distribution $\mathbf {S}$. Associate with each pair, $x$ from $\mathbf {R}$ and $y$ from $\mathbf {S}$, a nonnegative score $ϕ(x,y)$. An optimal reading policy is one that yields a sequence $m_n$ that maximizes $\mathbb{E}(M(n))$, the expected sum of the $(n-m_n)m_n$ observed scores, uniformly in $n$. The alternating policy, which switches between the two sources, is the optimal nonadaptive policy. In contrast, the greedy policy, which chooses its source to maximize the expected gain on the next step, is shown to be the optimal policy. Asymptotics are provided for the case where the $\mathbf {R}$ and $\mathbf {S}$ distributions are discrete and $ϕ(x,y)=1 or 0$ according as $x=y$ or not (i.e., the observations match). Specifically, an invariance result is proved which guarantees that for a wide class of policies, including the alternating and the greedy, the variable M(n) obeys the same CLT and LIL. A more delicate analysis of the sequence $\mathbb{E}(M(n))$ and the sample paths of M(n), for both alternating and greedy, reveals the slender sense in which the latter policy is asymptotically superior to the former, as well as a sense of equivalence of the two and robustness of the former.

description: Spatial coherence resonance in a spatially extended system that is locally modeled by Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neurons is studied in this paper. We focus on the ability of additive temporally and spatially uncorrelated Gaussian noise to extract a particular spatial frequency of excitatory waves in the medium, whereby examining also the impact of diffusive and small-world network topology determining the interactions amongst coupled HH neurons. We show that there exists an intermediate noise intensity that is able to extract a characteristic spatial frequency of the system in a resonant manner provided the latter is diffusively coupled, thus indicating the existence of spatial coherence resonance. However, as the diffusive topology of the medium is relaxed via the introduction of shortcut links introducing small-world properties amongst coupled HH neurons, the ability of additive Gaussian noise to evoke ordered excitatory waves deteriorates rather spectacularly, leading to the decoherence of the spatial dynamics and with it related absence of spatial coherence resonance. In particular, already a minute fraction of shortcut links suffices to substantially disrupt coherent pattern formation in the examined system.

description: Το 3ο Μάτι υπήρξε ένα περιοδικό του ελληνικού μοντερνισμού. Παρουσιάζει θέματα λογοτεχνίας, αλλά και άλλων τεχνών, όπως η ζωγραφική, η γλυπτική, η αρχιτεκτονική. H ειδολογική ποικιλομορφία και η πλούσια εικονογράφησή του επέτρεψαν την εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων στο επίπεδο σημείων και συμβόλων, μορφών και ιδεών. Στο επίκεντρο της έρευνας βρίσκονται τέτοια ζητήματα όπως η συγκρότηση της εθνικής ταυτότητας, οι αισθητικοί και οι ιδεολογικοί προσανατολισμοί της δεκαετίας του 1930 στην Ελλάδα. Η ύλη του περιοδικού προσλαμβάνεται ως συνεχές, ενιαίο σώμα, το οποίο ανατέμνεται διεξοδικά ως προς τους πολιτισμικούς προσδιορισμούς, την υφή των αισθητικών δηλώσεων, την ένταξη σε λειτουργίες κοινωνικού πεδίου. Διακρίνεται ο ρόλος των συντελεστών και συνεργατών του περιοδικού ως ατομικών δημιουργών και ως συλλογικών παραγωγών. Αναλύονται οι λογοτεχνικές συνεργασίες, και ιδιαίτερα τα έργα της σύγχρονης, κατά την έκδοση του περιοδικού, περιόδου. Ο σκοπός αυτής της μεθοδολογίας είναι η διερεύνηση της λειτουργίας του περιοδικού ως παραγωγού και θεσμοθέτη παραδείγματος.
description: “The Third Eye” was a magazine of Greek modernism. It presents issues of literature and other arts such as painting, sculpture, architecture. The genre diversity and rich illustrations allowed to draw conclusions on the level of signs and symbols, forms and ideas. The research focuses on such issues as the formation of national identity as well as the aesthetic and ideological orientations in Greece during the 1930’s. The contents of the magazine are received as a continuous, unified body, which is dissected in detail in terms of cultural identification, consistency of aesthetic statements, participation in the practices of the social field. The role of the contributors and collaborators of the magazine is studied distinctively both as individual creation and collective production. The collaborations in the literary field are analyzed, especially the ones that are contemporary to the period of the publication of the magazine. The aim of this methodology is to explore the function of the magazine both as a producing and an institutionalizing paradigm.

Επιπλέον, η μελέτη εφαρμογών των κλαστικών γρανατών για την απομάκρυνση οξικού οξέος, φωσφορικών ριζών και έγχρωμων οργανικών χρωστικών (πράσινο του μαλαχίτη). Τα ιζήματα είναι ιστολογικά ανώριμα έως υποώριμα, με γωνιώδεις έως υπογωνιώδεις κόκκους και γενικά μικρή συμμετοχή λεπτομερούς κλαστικού υλικού. Πετρολογικά είναι ανώριμα και ταξινομούνται ως αρκοζικές, φυλλαρενιτικές και αστριούχες ορθοχαλαζιτικές άμμοι. Γεωχημικά ταξινομούνται ως γραουβάκες και σιδηρούχοι πηλόλιθοι. Οι γρανάτες είναι αλμανδινικής σύστασης με χημική ζώνωση, εντοπιζόμενοι στα κλάσματα κροκαλών και άμμου. Τα ιζήματα έχουν προέλθει από τη ραγδαία αποσάθρωση των πετρωμάτων του υποβάθρου και τα τελευταία εμφανίζουν χαμηλό βαθμό χημικής αποσάθρωσης. Η πούδρα των γρανατών δεν απομάκρυνε το οξικό οξύ.

Οι εξεταζόμενοι αλμανδινικοί γρανάτες μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθούν για αμμοβολή, φιλτράρισμα νερού και ως στιλβωτικά υλικά. Όμως η μεγάλη διασπορά τους στην Ενότητα Βερτίσκου με μικρές εμφανίσεις, δεν τους καθιστά ικανούς για βιομηχανική αξιοποίηση.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the textural, petrological, geochemical and mineral chemistry study of modern sands with garnet, from Vertiskos Unit of Serbomacedonian Massif. Also, the study of removal of acetic acid, phosphoric ions and malachite green from aqueous solutions, with the use of garnet powder. The sediments are texturally immature, with angular to subangular grains and few participation of fine grained detritus. Petrologically they are immature and are classified as arkosic, phyllarenitic and feldspathic orthoquartzitic sands. Geochemically they are classified as graywackes and ferrous mudstones. The detrital garnets are almandinic with chemical zonation, found in the gravel and sand fractions. The sediments have been formatted from the rapid erosion of the basement rocks, the latter showing minor chemical weathering. The garnet powder did not remove acetic acid. It did remove adequate quantity of phosphorus at the initial stages of the experiment, with diminishing trend with time. It did decompose malachite green, but not as adequately as titanium dioxide. The detrital garnets under study are useful for sandblasting, water filtration and as abrasives. The scarcity of the detrital garnets in the Vertiskos Unit and the fact that they actually constitute only local occurrences, does not make them suitable for industrial investments.

description: The deliverable D8.4 “Integration with existing real-life Practices” will showcase the application of BigDataGrapes technologies in data-intensive and critical operations related to the Natural Cosmetics Pilot. More specifically, the ultimate goal is to prepare a dashboard that will expose the required functionality to practitioners in the grapevines and the end-users of relative cosmetic industries, during realistic operations and processes of these stakeholders. The dashboard will use the results of predictive analysis over data samples managed by expert users and will showcase the ability to help decision-making by end-users based on a small subset of exhibits in comparison to the amount that a human should manually check. In this first version of the deliverable the scope is to provide an initial assessment of the hypothesis that BigDataGrapes (BDG) software stack can serve for the prediction of the Biological Activity (BA) parameters by applying correlation analysis to Satellite-based Spectral Vegetation Indexes (SVIs) and demonstrating the future steps to build up the dashboard. Updated versions of this deliverable, including finalised dashboard, are due to M30 and M36 of the project lifetime.

D8.4, “Integration with existing real-life Practices”, is based on the piloting plan of the Natural Cosmetics Pilot (SYMBEEOSIS) and the BA data collected from samples all around Greece, with GEOCLEDIAN providing the SVIs datasets, CNR the data correlation analysis, Ontotext the data modelling, Agroknow the data management and their appropriate transformation for uploading to the software stack, and KU Leuven the visualisation of the dashboard.

description: We compare convergence rates of Metropolis--Hastings chains to multi-modal target distributions when the proposal distributions can be of ``local'' and ``small world'' type. In particular, we show that by adding occasional long-range jumps to a given local proposal distribution, one can turn a chain that is ``slowly mixing'' (in the complexity of the problem) into a chain that is ``rapidly mixing.'' To do this, we obtain spectral gap estimates via a new state decomposition theorem and apply an isoperimetric inequality for log-concave probability measures. We discuss potential applicability of our result to Metropolis-coupled Markov chain Monte Carlo schemes.

The rho-parameter and top quark mass constraints
Creators: name: Peters, Daniel John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Experimental determinations of limits on radiative effects in the Standard Model can be used to place limits on the mass of the top quark. This is exemplified by the comparison of the ⍴-parameter, as determined by neutrino-electron scattering experiments, to the radiative corrections to that quantity calculated to order g². It is suggested that an extension of the calculation to order g⁴ might significantly affect these constraints. Some partial results of such a calculation are given

description: In a previous paper we have introduced a phenomenological model of cell metabolism and of the cell cycle to simulate the behavior of large tumor cell populations (Chignola R and Milotti E, Phys. Biol. 2 (2005) 8-22). Here we describe a refined and extended version of the model that includes some of the complex interactions between cells and their surrounding environment. The present version takes into consideration several additional energy-consuming biochemical pathways such as protein and DNA synthesis, the tuning of extracellular pH and of the cell membrane potential. The control of the cell cycle - that was previously modeled by means of ad hoc thresholds - has been directly addressed here by considering checkpoints from proteins that act as targets for phosphorylation on multiple sites. As simulated cells grow, they can now modify the chemical composition of the surrounding environment which in turn acts as a feedback mechanism to tune cell metabolism and hence cell proliferation: in this way we obtain growth curves that match quite well those observed in vitro with human leukemia cell lines. The model is strongly constrained and returns results that can be directly compared with actual experiments, because it uses parameter values in narrow ranges estimated from experimental data, and in perspective we hope to utilize it to develop in silico studies of the growth of very large tumor cell populations (10^6 cells or more) and to support experimental research. In particular, the program is used here to make predictions on the behaviour of cells grown in a glucose-poor medium: these predictions are confirmed by experimental observation.

The Quixotism of a Relationally Constituted Contract Law
Creators: name: Cushley-Spendiff, Ryan
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law
subject: PhD thesis

description: Relational contract theory is often seen as a rival to classical contract. Despite its inception in the early 1970s, the full theory does not seem to have made much headway into the substantive law of contract within England and Wales outside of doctrinal rhetoric in good faith. Part of this stagnation is due to the convolution that surrounds relational contract theory, both in its descriptive and normative claims. This thesis will attempt to rectify the situation and elucidate relational contract theory as the neutral analytic tool that it was designed to be. It will be shown that relational theory is not inherently opposed to the continuation of the classical law and that a change to a relationally constituted law of contract would be damaging. While the classical law is founded on false premises, the effect is not as dire as academics posit, and in a world that is better off with this flawed doctrine relational theory will encounter the awkward question of its utility. The fact that the theory would not do well in substantive law does not make its norms and narrative any less accurate, and this thesis maintains it still has a place. In determining an adequate place the thesis will reference an obscure jurisprudential theory developed by Niklas Luhmann known as Autopoietic Systems Theory. With reference to this, the thesis determines that relational contract theory is a description of the interplay between psychic and social systems. The theory is both separate and distinct from the legal subsystem of society, which observes the theory's noises and generates its own internal communications. On this abstract theoretical level, the thesis will deduce that further distortion of the theory by the legal system is highly likely, and therefore integration is unlikely to find any real success.
Contact lines for fluid surface adhesion

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: When a fluid surface adheres to a substrate, the location of the contact line adjusts in order to minimize the overall energy. This adhesion balance implies boundary conditions which depend on the characteristic surface deformation energies. We develop a general geometrical framework within which these conditions can be systematically derived. We treat both adhesion to a rigid substrate as well as adhesion between two fluid surfaces, and illustrate our general results for several important Hamiltonians involving both curvature and curvature gradients. Some of these have previously been studied using very different techniques, others are to our knowledge new. What becomes clear in our approach is that, except for capillary phenomena, these boundary conditions are not the manifestation of a local force balance, even if the concept of surface stress is properly generalized. Hamiltonians containing higher order surface derivatives are not just sensitive to boundary translations but also notice changes in slope or even curvature. Both the necessity and the functional form of the corresponding additional contributions follow readily from our treatment.

description: We analyze a class of spatial random spanning trees built on a realization of a homogeneous Poisson point process of the plane. This tree has a simple radial structure with the origin as its root. We first use stochastic geometry arguments to analyze local functionals of the random tree such as the distribution of the length of the edges or the mean degree of the vertices. Far away from the origin, these local properties are shown to be close to those of a variant of the directed spanning tree introduced by Bhatt and Roy. We then use the theory of continuous state space Markov chains to analyze some nonlocal properties of the tree, such as the shape and structure of its semi-infinite paths or the shape of the set of its vertices less than $k$ generations away from the origin. This class of spanning trees has applications in many fields and, in particular, in communications.

description: The conserved charges for $p$-form gauge fields coupled to gravity are defined using Lagrangian methods. Our expression for the surface charges is compared with an earlier expression derived using covariant phase space methods. Additional properties of the surfaces charges are discussed. The proof of the first law for gauge fields that are regular when pulled-back on the future horizon is detailed and is shown to be valid on the bifurcation surface as well. The formalism is applied to black rings with dipole charges and is also used to provide a definition of energy in plane wave backgrounds.

Autonomous Dynamics in Neural networks: The dHAN Concept and Associative Thought Processes

description: The neural activity of the human brain is dominated by self-sustained activities. External sensory stimuli influence this autonomous activity but they do not drive the brain directly. Most standard artificial neural network models are however input driven and do not show spontaneous activities. It constitutes a challenge to develop organizational principles for controlled, self-sustained activity in artificial neural networks. Here we propose and examine the dHAN concept for autonomous associative thought processes in dense and homogeneous associative networks. An associative thought-process is characterized, within this approach, by a time-series of transient attractors. Each transient state corresponds to a stored information, a memory. The subsequent transient states are characterized by large associative overlaps, which are identical to acquired patterns. Memory states, the acquired patterns, have such a dual functionality. In this approach the self-sustained neural activity has a central functional role. The network acquires a discrimination capability, as external stimuli need to compete with the autonomous activity. Noise in the input is readily filtered-out. Hebbian learning of external patterns occurs coinstantaneous with the ongoing associative thought process. The autonomous dynamics needs a long-term working-point optimization which acquires within the dHAN concept a dual functionality: It stabilizes the time development of the associative thought process and limits runaway synaptic growth, which generically occurs otherwise in neural networks with self-induced activities and Hebbian-type learning rules.
Cluster Multi-spacecraft Determination of AKR Angular Beaming

description: Simultaneous observations of AKR emission using the four-spacecraft Cluster array were used to make the first direct measurements of the angular beaming patterns of individual bursts. By comparing the spacecraft locations and AKR burst locations, the angular beaming pattern was found to be narrowly confined to a plane containing the magnetic field vector at the source and tangent to a circle of constant latitude. Most rays paths are confined within 15 deg of this tangent plane, consistent with numerical simulations of AKR k-vector orientation at maximum growth rate. The emission is also strongly directed upward in the tangent plane, which we interpret as refraction of the rays as they leave the auroral cavity. The narrow beaming pattern implies that an observer located above the polar cap can detect AKR emission only from a small fraction of the auroral oval at a given location. This has important consequences for interpreting AKR visibility at a given location. It also helps re-interpret previously published Cluster VLBI studies of AKR source locations, which are now seen to be only a subset of all possible source locations. These observations are inconsistent with either filled or hollow cone beaming models.

description: The aim of the doctoral thesis is to distinguish the consultation of God with other beings as it recorded in the Old Testament. Among them the celestial courtyard (angels, army of the sky, sons of God, serafim, herouvim) and persons (prophets, Abraham, Moses) are included. Through these descriptions the authors of narrations stressed that the God of Israel is the absolute sovereign of the divine conference, the celestial beings that participate in the council have the mission to hymn God listen to his commands and make proposals. Persons who participate in the divine council follow the divine wish. They can however express their opinions and their attitudes. Finally, the divine council is not a non historical representation but it is connected to specific historical moments of biblical Israel.
