Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, sich für den Umwelt- und Klimaschutz einzusetzen, allerdings wissen viele Bürger_innen nicht, wie sie dabei vorgehen wollen und besitzen zu wenig Informationen über ihre Umwelt, um eine Veränderung herbeirufen zu können. Durch die sich verschärfende Gesetzgebung zu Umweltinformationen sind Unternehmen und Kommunen aufgefordert, Umweltinformationen vorzuhalten. Die Bereitstellung der Umweltinformationen bringt Unternehmen und Kommunen in eine Situation der Ungewissheit, da diese nicht wissen, ob die bereitgestellten Informationen auch den Anforderungen der Bürger_innen gerecht werden. Über die Bürger_innenbedarfe an Umweltinformationen ist nur wenig bekannt. Zudem bestehen Hürden zum Zugang zu Umweltinformationen, da bestehende Umweltportale für Laien schwer verständlich sind. dieser Beitrag bearbeitet die Identifikation der Bürger_innenbedarfe an Umweltinformationen.

Humatopoietic effects of photofrin
Creators: name: Hunt, David William Carey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the presence of visible light, certain naturally-occurring and synthetic non-metallic porphyrins and their derivatives can cause toxic effects within cells. This aspect of these compounds has been harnessed for the elimination of malignant tissue, a therapeutic approach termed photodynamic therapy (PDT). The likelihood that photosensitizing porphyrins might significantly influence the status of tissues other than those targeted by PDT, has not been rigorously investigated. When given to normal male mice, the photosensitizer Photofrin® (dihematoporphyrin ether) produced significant increases in spleen weight, nucleated cell numbers, indices of cell proliferation, and levels of granulocyte-macrophageand erythroid progenitors. Concordant with these changes, was an increase in the number of spleen cells which expressed the receptor (CD71) for the iron transport protein transferrin but no change in expression of the receptor (CD25) for the T cell growth factor interleukin-2, suggesting that the compound had not effected splenic lymphocyte activation. Further flow cytometric studies demonstrated that Photofrin® elevated the number of nucleated spleen cells which expressed antigens recognized by the monoclonal antibody LR-1, the erythroid lineage-specific antibody TER-119, and those that did not express the leukocyte common antigen CD45 or major histocompatibility Class I molecules. The antigen recognized by the LR-1 antibody was subsequently identified as the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchoredheat stable antigen (HSA) by enzyme digest, f l ow cytometric and Western immunoblot studies. The increased expression of HSA in the spleens of Photofrin®-treated mice was associated with heightened erythropoiesis in t he organ. Granulopoiesis was the dominant activity in the marrow of mice given Photofrin®. This was represented by a large increase in the proportion of cells which expressed the myeloid-associated Gr-1 and CD11b antigens and a decrease in the proportion of cells which expressed CD71 or the B cell-restricted isofo rm of CD45 (B220). In contrast to Photofrin®, other photosensitizing porphyrins including benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD, verteporfin), hydroxyethyl vinyl deuteroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin IX, and protoporphyrin IX had no discernable hematostimulatory effect. Culture of murine erythroleukemic cells with Photofrin®, but not BPD, increased cell surface CD71 levels and binding of transferrin to these cells, but did not cause erythroid differentiation. Photofrin® also increased surface CD71 expression by non-erythroid P815 mastocytoma cells, suggesting that Photofrin® can influence cellular iron status. Although the mechanism by which Photofrin® influences hematopoiesis was not identified, it nevertheless will be an interesting agent with which to study murine hematopoiesis.

description: Direct-To-Consumer (D2C) marketing recently gains popularity in society by bypassing unnecessary mediators and thus avoiding cost. In Information and Communication Technology (ICT) terms, it is comparable with Machine-To-Machine (M2M) communication overcoming additional mediators, i.e. remote servers. In this paper, we research M2M communication for battery boosted charging station. Therefore, we consider a setup comprising an OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) Client and OPC UA Server. The server represents the smart charging station, where the client can reserve time slots for charging sessions. In this paper, we answer how to facilitate this using the different services provided by OPC UA. Additionally, we apply an OPC UA Metasploit module on two differently - according to the function manuals - configured OPC UA Servers. Afterwards, we validate the results.
Graduate recitals and document : pulse, phrasing and pitch organization in Cinque variazioni by Luciano Berio
Creators: name: Wyber, Leslie Paulette
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This document examines Luciano Berio's Cinque Voriationi for solo piano (1952-3, rev. 1966) from the perspective of a performer seeking to convey something of the organization of its musical material to a broad audience. Criteria for identifying elementary partitioning (pulse) and grouping (gesture, phrase segments, and phrases) are explored. In analysing relationships between phrases and phrase groups several things must be considered: specific pitch issues, distinctions between primary and auxiliary or accompanimental material, and contour. Throughout the document, suggestions are given for successful realization of fundamental grouping structures in performance. Although the piece has elements of serial construction, it is primarily underlying linear motion which gives sections cohesiveness. Also, certain pitch classes are given special emphasis and become vital reference points. The placement of and linear movement around these emphasized pitch classes create traditional tonal implications, to varying degrees throughout the work. Cinque Variationi is a set of variations for which no theme is provided, and it is far from obvious what is being varied. After examining the grouping structures of this piece, it becomes clear that variations refer to each other in unsystematic ways, and that pitch centers serve as reference points across variations.

description: The light cone method provides a convenient non-perturbative tool to study the heavy-to-light form factors. We construct a light cone quark model utilizing the soft collinear effective theory. In the leading order of effective theory, the ten $B$ to light physical form factors are reduced to three universal form factors which can be calculated as overlaps of hadron light front wave functions in the light cone quark model. The numerical results show that the leading contribution is close to the results from other approaches. The $q^2$ dependence of the heavy-to-light form factors are also presented.

description: We focus on the spatial discretization produced by the Variational Particle-Mesh (VPM) method for a prototype fluid equation the known as the EPDiff equation}, which is short for Euler-Poincaré equation associated with the diffeomorphism group (of $\mathbb{R}^d$, or of a $d$-dimensional manifold $Ω$). The EPDiff equation admits measure valued solutions, whose dynamics are determined by the momentum maps for the left and right actions of the diffeomorphisms on embedded subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^d$. The discrete VPM analogs of those dynamics are studied here. Our main results are: (i) a variational formulation for the VPM method, expressed in terms of a constrained variational principle principle for the Lagrangian particles, whose velocities are restricted to a distribution $D_{\VPM}$ which is a finite-dimensional subspace of the Lie algebra of vector fields on $Ω$; (ii) a corresponding constrained variational principle on the fixed Eulerian grid which gives a discrete version of the Euler-Poincaré equation; and (iii) discrete versions of the momentum maps for the left and right actions of diffeomorphisms on the space of solutions.

description: Broadband X-ray spectroscopy of the X-ray emission produced in the coronae of active galactic nuclei (AGN) can provide important insights into the physical conditions very close to their central supermassive black holes. The temperature of the Comptonizing plasma that forms the corona is manifested through a high-energy cutoff that has been difficult to directly constrain even in the brightest AGN because it requires high-quality data at energies above 10 keV. In this paper we present a large collection of coronal cutoff constraints for obscured AGN based on a sample of 130 AGN selected in the hard X-ray band with Swift/BAT and observed nearly simultaneously with NuSTAR and Swift/XRT. We find that under a reasonable set of assumptions regarding partial constraints the median cutoff is well constrained to 290$\pm$20 keV, where the uncertainty is statistical and given at the 68% confidence level. We investigate the sensitivity of this result to our assumptions and find that consideration of various known systematic uncertainties robustly places the median cutoff between 240 keV and 340 keV. The central 68% of the intrinsic cutoff distribution is found to be between about 140 keV and 500 keV, with estimated uncertainties of 20 keV and 100 keV, respectively. In comparison with the literature, we find no clear evidence that the cutoffs in obscured and unobscured AGN are substantially different. Our analysis highlights the importance of carefully considering partial and potentially degenerate constraints on the coronal high-energy cutoff in AGN.

On the magnetic structure and wind parameter profiles of Alfven wave driven winds in late-type supergiant stars

description: Cool stars at giant and supergiant evolutionary phases present low velocity and high density winds, responsible for the observed high mass-loss rates. Although presenting high luminosities, radiation pressure on dust particles is not sufficient to explain the wind acceleration process. Among the possible solutions to this still unsolved problem, Alfven waves are, probably, the most interesting for their high efficiency in transfering energy and momentum to the wind. Typically, models of Alfven wave driven winds result in high velocity winds if they are not highly damped. In this work we determine self-consistently the magnetic field geometry and solve the momentum, energy and mass conservation equations, to demonstrate that even a low damped Alfven wave flux is able to reproduce the low velocity wind. We show that the magnetic fluxtubes expand with a super-radial factor S>30 near the stellar surface, larger than that used in previous semi-empirical models. The rapid expansion results in a strong spatial dilution of the wave flux. We obtained the wind parameter profiles for a typical supergiant star of 16 M_sun. The wind is accelerated in a narrow region, coincident with the region of high divergence of the magnetic field lines, up to 100 km/s. For the temperature, we obtained a slight decrease near the surface for low damped waves, because the wave heating mechanism is less effective than the radiative losses. The peak temperature occurs at 1.5 r_0 reaching 6000 K. Propagating outwards, the wind cools down mainly due to adiabatic expansion.

description: We explored the statistical properties of short-term X-ray variability using long-exposure {\it XMM-Newton} data during high X-ray variability phases of blazars S5 0716+714 and PKS 2155-304. In general, hardness ratio shows correlated variations with the source flux state (count rate), but in a few cases, mainly the bright phases, the trend is complex with correlation and anti-correlation both, indicating spectral evolution. Stationarity tests suggest the time series as non-stationarity or have trend stationarity. Except for one, none of the histograms fit resulted in a reduced-\(χ^2 \sim 1\) for a normal and log-normal profile but a normal profile is favored in general. On the contrary, the Anderson-Darling test favors lognormal with a test-statistic value lower for log-normal over normal for all the observations, even if out of significance limits. None of the IDs show linear RMS-flux relation. The contrary inferences from widely used different statistical methods indicate that a careful analysis is needed while the complex behavior of count rate with hardness ratio suggests spectral evolution over a few 10s of kilo-seconds during bright phases of the sources. In these cases, the spectrum extracted from whole observation may not be meaningful for spectral studies and certainly not a true representation of the spectral state of the source.

description: Analyzing camera trap images is a challenging task due to complex scene structures at different locations, heavy occlusions, and varying sizes of animals. One particular problem is the large fraction of images only showing background scenes, which are recorded when a motion detector gets triggered by signals other than animal movements. To identify these background images automatically, an active learning approach is used to train binary classifiers with small amounts of labeled data, keeping the annotation effort of humans minimal. By training classifiers for single sites or small sets of camera traps, we follow a region-based approach and particularly focus on distinct models for daytime and nighttime images. Our approach is evaluated on camera trap images from the Bavarian Forest National Park. Comparable or even superior performances to publicly available detectors trained with millions of labeled images are achieved while requiring significantly smaller amounts of annotated training images.

description: Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) investigates the interaction between light confined in a resonator and particles, such as atoms. In recent years, CQED experiments have reached the optical domain resulting in many interesting applications in the realm of quantum information processing. For many of these application it is necessary to overcome limitations imposed by photon loss. In this context whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators have obtained significant interest. Besides their small mode volume and their ultra high quality, they also exhibit favorable polarization properties that give rise to chiral light--matter interaction. In this chapter, we will discuss the origin and the consequences of these chiral features and we review recent achievements in this area.

description: Papilledema is the swelling of the optic disc resulting from increased cranial pressure. The diagnosis of papilledema is important not only to treat pathologies of the eye, but it also can be an important indicator for underlying brain pathology since the subarachnoid space surrounding the optic nerve is contiguous with the brain. Therefore increased pressure from the brain from pathologies such as hydrocephalus can be transmitted to the posterior eye. To study papilledema, a reproducible post hemorrhagic hydrocephalic rat model was used to study the changes of the retina, optic disc and optic nerve when exposed to high intracranial pressure. Multiple changes were noted in the post hemorrhagic hydrocephalic model including decreased thickness of the ganglion cell complex, decreased retinal thickness in the periphery in females, increased retinal thickness close to the optic nerve in males, increased optic disc width and diameter along with a decrease number of retinal ganglion cells. These findings were similar to findings in human patients with papilledema. Therefore, future studies are indicated using the post hemorrhagic hydrocephalic rat model to further understand the mechanism of papilledema progression and the use of possible therapeutics.

description: [Abridged] We describe the near-infrared reddening signature of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in external galaxies. In particular, we examine the E(J-H) and E(H-K) color-excesses, and the effective extinction law observed in discrete GMC regions. We also study the effect of the relative scale height of the GMC distribution to the color-excesses, and to the observed mass function of GMCs. We perform Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations with 3D models of stellar radiation and clumpy dust distributions, resembling a face-on geometry. The scattered light is included in the models, and near-infrared color maps are calculated from the simulated data. The effective near-infrared reddening law, i.e. the ratio E(J-H)/E(H-K), has a value close to unity in GMC regions. The ratio depends on the relative scale height of GMCs, xi, and for xi values 0.1...0.75 we find the typical ratios of 0.6...1.1. The effective extinction law turns out to be very flat in GMC regions. We find the ratios of apparent extinctions of A(H)/A(K)=1.35...1.55 and A(J)/A(H)=1.15. The effect of the scattered flux on the effective reddening law, as well as on the effective extinction law, is significant. Regarding the GMC mass function, we find no correlation between the input and observed slopes of the mass functions. Rather, the observed slope reflects the parameter $ξ$ and the dynamical range of the mass function. We estimate that only a fraction of 10...20 % of the total mass of GMCs is recovered, if the observed color-excess values are transformed to masses using the Galactic reddening law. In the case of individual clouds the fraction can vary between ~0...50 %.

description: We study the effect of cubic and tidal interactions on the spectrum of gravitational waves emitted in the inspiral phase of the merger of two non-spinning objects. There are two independent parity-even cubic interaction terms, which we take to be $I_1 = {R^{αβ}}_{μν} {R^{μν}}_{ρσ} {R^{ρσ}}_{αβ}$ and $G_3 = I_1-2 R^α\,_μ\,^β\,_ν R^μ\,_ρ\,^ν\,_σ R^ρ\,_α\,^σ\,_β$. The latter has vanishing pure graviton amplitudes but modifies mixed scalar/graviton amplitudes which are crucial for our study. Working in an effective field theory set-up, we compute the modifications to the quadrupole moment due to $I_1$, $G_3$ and tidal interactions, from which we obtain the power of gravitational waves radiated in the process to first order in the perturbations and leading order in the post-Minkowskian expansion. The $I_1$ predictions are novel, and we find that our results for $G_3$ are related to the known quadrupole corrections arising from tidal perturbations, although the physical origin of the $G_3$ coupling is unrelated to the finite-size effects underlying tidal interactions. We show this by recomputing such tidal corrections and by presenting an explicit field redefinition. In the post-Newtonian expansion our results are complete at leading order, which for the gravitational-wave flux is 5PN for $G_3$ and tidal interactions, and 6PN for $I_1$. Finally, we compute the corresponding modifications to the waveforms.

In this course, the subjects of tabular QA, extractive QA and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are examined. Moreover, we reveal our findings regarding fine-tuning transformer models for QA and propose an automatic labelling mechanism that can be integrated into QA systems in order to simplify the creation of training data. We evaluated on various CRM-related data sources. The evaluation of the fine-tuned extractive QA pipeline resulted in an F1-score of 76.93 %. A qualitative analysis by domain experts showed that the tabular QA pipeline with translation and column name mapping leads to an accuracy of 40 %.

description: Monitoring the responses of plants to environmental changes is essential for plant biodiversity research. This, however, is currently still being done manually by botanists in the field. This work is very laborious, and the data obtained is, though following a standardized method to estimate plant coverage, usually subjective and has a coarse temporal resolution. To remedy these caveats, we investigate approaches using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically extract the relevant data from images, focusing on plant community composition and species coverages of 9 herbaceous plant species. To this end, we investigate several standard CNN architectures and different pretraining methods. We find that we outperform our previous approach at higher image resolutions using a custom CNN with a mean absolute error of 5.16%. In addition to these investigations, we also conduct an error analysis based on the temporal aspect of the plant cover images. This analysis gives insight into where problems for automatic approaches lie, like occlusion and likely misclassifications caused by temporal changes.

description: We consider the Laplacian in a curved two-dimensional strip of constant width squeezed between two curves, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and variable Robin boundary conditions on the other. We prove that, for certain types of Robin boundary conditions, the spectral threshold of the Laplacian is estimated from below by the lowest eigenvalue of the Laplacian in a Dirichlet-Robin annulus determined by the geometry of the strip. Moreover, we show that an appropriate combination of the geometric setting and boundary conditions leads to a Hardy-type inequality in infinite strips. As an application, we derive certain stability of the spectrum for the Laplacian in Dirichlet-Neumann strips along a class of curves of sign-changing curvature, improving in this way an initial result of Dittrich and Kriz.

description: The radical change in mobility calls for the simulative support of decision making for large-scale projects which asks for the simultaneous consideration of multiple stakeholders additionally. The major challenge in such simulation systems is nowadays the consistent and modifiable tool-independent parameterization to enable scenario analysis by systematic parameter variation and reach reliable support for those extensive decisions. Taking the example of public charging infrastructure, a holistic co-simulation framework is proposed, in which an approach for the central parameterization as well as the belonging scenario analysis tool take part. Necessary functionalities as well as the belonging interfaces are revealed. Proposing a loop of mainly getting and setting parameters automatically, a domain ontology is required to reach standardization of naming conventions. With this work, a research gap in the filled of co-simulation is addressed by proposing a framework which allows the central parametrization of such systems to enable decision support.

description: Assuming a set of diverse process variants, information aggregation is used to provide an aggregated overview of the overall process. The main challenge is to provide a condensed but accurate overview, while avoiding redundant information. Although there exist different approaches for information aggregation, none of them actually consider the diversity of the multiple process variant attributes, such as resources, cost or duration. But this hinders from gaining an overview of the process diversity, i.e. the variance of multiple process attributes. Hence, valuable information regarding resource and time variability can get lost. Diversity measures can be used to evaluate the significance of a single process variant, based on multiple attributes. This short paper introduces existing diversity measures from different research disciplines and elaborates on their application in BPM for the purpose of information aggregation.

description: Animal monitoring in natural habitats provides significant insights into the animals’ behavior, interactions, health, or external influences. However, the sizes of monitoring devices attachable to animals strongly depends on the animals’ sizes, and thus the range of possible sensors including batteries is severely limited. Gathered data can be offloaded from monitoring devices to data sinks in a wireless sensor network using available radio access technologies, but this process also needs to be as energy-efficient as possible. This paper presents an approach to combine the benefits of high-throughput WiFi and robust low-power LoRa communication for energy-efficient data offloading. WiFi is only used when connectivity between mobile devices and data sinks is available, which is determined by LoRa-based distance estimations without the need for additional GPS sensors. A prototypical implementation on low-end commodity-off-the-shelf hardware is used to evaluate the proposed approach in a German mixed forest using a simple path loss model for distance estimation. The system provides an offloading success rate of 87%, which is similar to that of a GPS-based approach, but with around 37% less power consumption.

description: Observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array revealed intra-hour variations in the radio source PKS B1322-110 (Bignall et al. 2019). As part of an optical follow-up, we obtained Gemini Halpha and Halpha continuum (HalphaC) images of the PKS B1322-110 field. A robust 19-sigma detection of PKS B1322-110 in the Halpha-HalphaC image prompted us to obtain the first optical spectrum of PKS B1322-110. With the Gemini spectrum we determine that PKS B1322-110 is a flat-spectrum radio quasar at a redshift of z=3.007 +/- 0.002. The apparent flux detected in the Halpha filter is likely to originate from HeII emission redshifted precisely on the Galactic Halpha narrow-band filter. We set upper limits on the emission measure of the Galactic plasma, for various possible cloud geometries.
The evolution of misaligned accretion discs and spinning black holes

description: In this paper we consider the process of alignment of a spinning black hole and a surrounding misaligned accretion disc. We use a simplified set of equations, that describe the evolution of the system in the case where the propagation of warping disturbances in the accretion disc occurs diffusively, a situation likely to be common in the thin discs in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We also allow the direction of the hole spin to move under the action of the disc torques. In such a way, the evolution of the hole-disc system is computed self-consistently. We consider a number of different situations and we explore the relevant parameter range, by varying the location of the warp radius $R_{\rm w}$ and the propagation speed of the warp. We find that the dissipation associated with the twisting of the disc results in a large increase in the accretion rate through the disc, so that AGN accreting from a misaligned disc are likely to be significantly more luminous than those accreting from a flat disc. We compute explicitly the time-scales for the warping of the disc and for the alignment process and compare our results with earlier estimates based on simplified steady-state solutions. We also confirm earlier predictions that, under appropriate circumstances, accretion can proceed in a counter-aligned fashion, so that the accreted material will spin-down the hole, rather than spinning it up. Our results have implication in a number of different observational features of AGN such as the orientation and shape of jets, the shape of X-ray iron lines, and the possibility of obscuration and absorption of X-ray by the outer disc as well as the general issue of the spin history of black holes during their growth.

description: The Milky Way hosts on average a few supernova explosions per century, yet in the past millennium only five supernovae have been identified confidently in the historical record. This deficit of naked-eye supernovae is at least partly due to dust extinction in the Galactic plane. We explore this effect quantitatively, developing a formalism for the supernova probability distribution, accounting for dust and for the observer's flux limit. We then construct a fiducial axisymmetric model for the supernova and dust densities, featuring an exponential dependence on galactocentric radius and height, with core-collapse events in a thin disk and Type Ia events including a thick disk component. When no flux limit is applied, our model predicts supernovae are intrinsically concentrated in the Galactic plane, with Type Ia events extending to higher latitudes reflecting their thick disk component. We then apply a flux limit and include dust effects, to predict the sky distribution of historical supernovae. We use well-observed supernovae as light-curve templates, and introduce naked-eye discovery criteria. The resulting sky distributions are strikingly inconsistent with the locations of confident historical supernovae, none of which lie near our model's central peaks. Indeed, SN 1054 lies off the plane almost exactly in the anticenter, and SN 1181 is in the 2nd Galactic quadrant. We discuss possible explanations for these discrepancies. We calculate the percentage of all supernovae bright enough for historical discovery: $\simeq 13\%$ of core-collapse and $\simeq 33\%$ of Type Ia events. Using these and the confident historical supernovae, we estimate the intrinsic Galactic supernova rates, finding general agreement with other methods. Finally, we urge searches for supernovae in historical records from civilizations in the southern hemisphere.
