description: Additional file 4: Figure S1. Microscopic observation of fiber cells from the stem barks of ramie (published by Chen et al. 2014, BMC Genomics, 15:919). Barks collected from the top (TPS) and middle (MPS) sections of ramie stems were used for phosphoproteome analysis in this study. MPS is characterized by secondary cellular wall growth initiation and thickening, whereas the initiation of growth is not seen in TPS. Red arrows indicate the differential thickness of the cell walls of fibers from the two tissue types. Scale bars shown in the microscopic sections of TPS and MPS and in the figure of whole plant are 20 μm and 10 cm in length.

description: We analyze the elliptic flow parameter v_2 in Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76 TeV and in Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}} =200 GeV using a hybrid model in which the evolution of the quark gluon plasma is described by ideal hydrodynamics with a state-of-the-art lattice QCD equation of state, and the subsequent hadronic stage by a hadron cascade model. For initial conditions, we employ Monte-Carlo versions of the Glauber and the Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi models and compare results with each other. We demonstrate that the differential elliptic flow v_2(p_T) hardly changes when the collision energy increases, whereas the integrated v_2 increases due to the enhancement of mean transverse momentum. The amount of increase of both v_2 and mean p_T depends significantly on the model of initialization.

description: We present a near infrared study of the stellar content of 35 H\,{\sc{ii}} regions in the Galactic plane. In this work, we have used the near infrared domain $J-$, $H-$ and $K_{s}-$ band color images to visually inspect the sample. Also, color-color and color-magnitude diagrams were used to indicate ionizing star candidates, as well as, the presence of young stellar objects such as classical TTauri Stars (CTTS) and massive young stellar objects (MYSOs). We have obtained {\it Spitzer} IRAC images for each region to help further characterize them. {\it Spitzer} and near infrared morphology to place each cluster in an evolutionary phase of development. {\it Spitzer} photometry was also used to classify the MYSOs. Comparison of the main sequence in color-magnitude diagrams to each observed cluster was used to infer whether or not the cluster kinematic distance is consistent with brightnesses of the stellar sources. We find qualitative agreement for a dozen of the regions, but about half the regions have near infrared photometry that suggests they may be closer than the kinematic distance. A significant fraction of these already have spectrophotometric parallaxes which support smaller distances. These discrepancies between kinematic and spectrophotometric distances are not due to the spectrophotometric methodologies, since independent non-kinematic measurements are in agreement with the spectrophotometric results. For instance, trigonometric parallaxes of star-forming regions were collected from the literature and show the same effect of smaller distances when compared to the kinematic results. In our sample of H\,{\sc{ii}} regions, most of the clusters are evident in the near infrared images. Finally, it is possible to distinguish among qualitative evolutionary stages for these objects.

Year: 2021

description: This Report is the main outcome of Task 5.3, of Soclimpact project, which aimed at experimenting with different types of large datasets related to the tourism sector and characterised by velocity, variety, and volume, hence sharing the typical properties of Big Data. Three different lines of investigation were developed, aiming at tackling the following research questions: - How do climate events (like heat waves or storms, proxied by weather conditions and forecasts) impact on accommodation prices? This analysis considered Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily.
 - How do climate events impact on destination image and on the activities carried out by tourists in the destination? This analysis considered four islands of the Canary Islands archipelago (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Tenerife) and four Mediterranean islands (Crete, Cyprus, Malta and Sicily).
 - How do climate events (like forest fires) impact on hotel performance? This analysis considered Gran Canaria. Once estimations of impacts of specific events on prices, performance, and destination image were generated, climate change scenarios were used as inputs, thus allowing for the computation of the economic impact of climate change on the tourism sector (measured in terms of variation in yearly tourism expenditure).

 This report explains the methodologies used in the different lines of investigation, the estimation of parameters, and how to connect them with scenarios of climate change to produce estimations of changes in tourism expenditure in the different islands under scrutiny. Finally, the limitations of this work and the potentialities of Big Data analysis for research on the socio-economic impact of climate change are presented and critically discussed.

description: We consider the hierarchy of higher-order Riccati equations and establish their connection with the Gambier equation. Moreover we investigate the relation of equations of the Gambier family to other nonlinear differential systems. In particular we explore their connection to the generalized Ermakov-Pinney and Milne-Pinney equations. In addition we investigate the consequence of introducing Okamoto's folding transformation which maps the reduced Gambier equation to a Liénard type equation. Finally the conjugate Hamiltonian aspects of certain equations belonging to this family and their connection with superintegrability are explored.
Management of socio-political risk arising from corporate transitions : the Mt. Milligan experience
Creators: name: Thomson, Garth Connor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Changes in management and/or ownership at mineral exploration and mining projects can cause a regression in corporate-stakeholder relationships, as the changing faces and attitudes can lead to breakdowns in communication, misunderstandings, and heightened risk of conflict. Failure to maintain positive relationships with stakeholders can lead to significant costs for proponents, and is frequently cited as one of the most pressing issues facing the mining industry. By examining the Mt. Milligan mine in central British Columbia, Canada, as a case-study, this thesis provides an analysis of how successive management teams endeavored to mitigate socio-political risk by building relationships with local stakeholders, and specifically how these relationships were impacted by successive changes in management and ownership. Interviews with managers from the three most recent proponents of Mt. Milligan were conducted to collect data on perceptions of socio-political risk and the execution of corporate transitions. The study also incorporates perceptions of the Mt. Milligan experience drawn from interviews with local and regional stakeholders, including First Nations groups and neighboring municipalities. Information from the interviews was scrutinized using data analysis software, and collectively reviewed for main themes and patterns over time. The research also included a historical document review, and a field visit to the mine region. This study finds that the levels of socio-political risk arising from a transition are linked to: effective due-diligence, corporate culture and experience of the proponent, and community experience and capacity. Effective mitigation of this risk is linked to: transfer of personal relationships, quality and frequency of communication, creation of institutionalized stakeholder engagement mechanisms, and preserving an institutional record of social engagement and commitments to communities. A strong relationship is noted between the experience of managers and community members during Mt. Milligan's development history, and the ideas conveyed by the current literature on socio-political risk management in the mining industry. In summary, this study delivers a review of the historic mitigation of socio-political risk at Mt. Milligan arising from multiple changes in management and ownership. Lessons drawn from this review inform key strategies that can be employed in the management and mitigation of socio-political risk at future projects. The study advances the current dialogue surrounding stakeholder relations in the mining industry, and contributes to an improvement of industry practices addressing the management of socio-political risk through transitions in the management and ownership of mining projects.

Between democratic security and democratic legality : discursive institutionalism and Colombia’s Constitutional Court
Creators: name: Boesten, Jan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation seeks to explain why the Colombian Constitutional Court disallowed a referendum to extend presidential terms in 2010, when it allowed a similar reform in 2005. There are three elements to this decision that make it remarkable for institutional theory and comparative politics: 1) The sitting president, Álvaro Uribe, was an extremely popular and powerful president, who used his transformative capacities to initiate a far-reaching reform agenda; 2) the Court’s authority appreciably increased between 2005 and 2010; 3) the jurisprudence of the Court involved a doctrine that is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, but a re-interpretation of the norms outlining judicial review of constitutional reforms. This dissertation inserts the 2010 decision in the historical and political context and asks three questions that guide each chapter: 1) Does the 1991 Constitution amount to a critical juncture in Colombia’s political history? 2) Does the post-genesis evolution of Colombia’s constitutional jurisprudence follow a path-dependent logic? 3) Did judges follow strategic incentives when they developed and applied the substitution doctrine, which struck down Uribe’s reform to extent the number of terms in the presidential office? Building on the Colliers’ critical juncture framework, I show that the 1991 constituent process was a contingent event marked by genuine communicative action that incorporated sections from society previously marginalized, negotiated with important public input, and entirely restructured the meaning of the organizational imperatives of the polity. Contrary to expectations from the discontinuous change model, post-genesis development cannot be fully captured by path dependence, but involves incremental changes of institutional learning inside the judiciary. The investigation into the re-election decisions will show that institutional learning depends on carefully administered spaces of deliberation inside the Court that buttress the cohesion of legal reasoning. Altogether, this leads me to view institutions not as structured expectations in a game between rational actors or regularized patterns of conducts, but discursive structures, in which actors negotiate the meaning and significance of norms with reference to a constitutional text and the intention of the constituents that drafted the charter in the first place. The constitutional judge is a deliberative judge.

Eigenenergieverbrauch

description: Bei energetischen Betrachtungen zur Gebäudetechnik wurde bisher meist davon ausgegangen, dass der Stromverbrauch der Gebäudeautomations-Geräte vernachlässigbar klein ist im Vergleich zur erzeugten Wärmeenergie oder zum Stromverbrauch von Kühlgeräten, Ventilatoren, Pumpen und der Beleuchtung. Die Analysen zeigten, dass diese Ansicht zu revidieren ist: Bei durchschnittlich energieeffizienten Gebäuden beläuft sich der jährliche Stromverbrauch der Gebäudeautomation (GA), welche Raumautomation und primärseitige Gebäudeautomation umfasst, auf ein- bis zweistellige Prozentzahlen des jährlichen Endenergiebedarfs der Haustechnik (HLK und Beleuchtung). Für die untersuchten Gebäude beträgt der jährliche Stromverbrauch zwischen 6 % und 12 % des nach SIA 2024 quantifizierten Energiebedarfs für Heizung, Lüftung, Klimatisierung und Beleuchtung eines Gebäudes. Im Vergleich mit einem Minergie-P-Haus mit 25 kWh/m2, ohne Beleuchtung und eingeschlossen die Wassererwärmung, sind es 16 % bis 36 %. Absolut ergaben sich für die Raumautomation jährliche spezifische Stromverbrauchswerte von 2 bis 5 kWh/m2 (ohne primärseitige Gebäudeautomation).
Die Effizienz der eingesetzten GA-Komponenten beeinflusst den GA-Verbrauch weit stärker als die durch Effizienzklassen nach SIA 386.110 dokumentierten Funktionalitäten der Gebäudeautomation.

description: In a thermally bistable medium, cold, dense gas is separated from warm, rareified gas by thin phase transition layers, or fronts, in which heating, radiative cooling, thermal conduction, and convection of material are balanced. We calculate the steady-state structure of such fronts in the presence of magnetic fields, including the processes of ion-neutral drift and ion-neutral frictional heating. We find that ambipolar diffusion efficiently transports the magnetic field across the fronts, leading to a flat magnetic field strength profile. The thermal profiles of such fronts are not significantly different from those of unmagnetized fronts. The near uniformity of the magnetic field strength across a front is consistent with the flat field strength-gas density relation that is observed in diffuse interstellar gas.

Its aim is twofold: on the one hand, I intend to examine the implications that bring Google’s digital maps closer to the invention of the print or telescope; on the other hand, I intend to explain, through a medio-anthropological investigation, how the map, as a medium of perception, falls not only de facto, but also de jure, into the field of aesthetics.

Early Modern Aesthetics: Antony and Cleopatra and the Afterlife of Domination
Creators: name: Mapp, Nigel
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2020

description: This essay argues that Antony and Cleopatra’s pitting of Egypt against Rome is a cipher of aesthetic resistance to modern rationality. The coordinates are Adornian. Antony’s and Cleopatra’s complex identities elude the disenchanting, nominalist machinery in which diffuse indeterminacy necessitates conceptual imposition. Here, the individuals are essentially dramatized: sensate, embodied selves composed and expressed in relations of passionate recognition. The lovers’ deaths, and especially Cleopatra’s self-conscious theatre, rewrite the ascetic, dominative, and pseudo-theatrical rationality of Octavian Rome. The protest, the passion and singularity, lives mainly through its expressive emphases – such as hyperbole – and the re-functioning of the very dominative roles and norms being opposed. This reflects the restricted but critical – aesthetic – status of early modern drama, and specifies its opposition to the deepening attack on sensate knowing in its world.

description: Relaxed, massive galactic objects have been identified at redshifts z = 4;5; and 6 in hydrodynamical simulations run in a large cosmological volume. This allowed us to analyze the assembly patterns of the high mass end of the galaxy distribution at these high zs, by focusing on their structural and dynamical properties. Our simulations indicate that massive objects at high redshift already follow certain scaling relations. These relations define virial planes at the halo scale, whereas at the galactic scale they define intrinsic dynamical planes that are, however, tilted relative to the virial plane. Therefore, we predict that massive galaxies must lie on fundamental planes from their formation. We briefly discuss the physical origin of the tilt in terms the physical processes underlying massive galaxy formation at high z, in the context of a two-phase galaxy formation scenario. Specifically, we have found that it lies on the different behavior of the gravitationally heated gas as compared with cold gas previously involved in caustic formation, and the mass dependence of the energy available to heat the gas.

Dissonances of a Modern Medium. Alienating and Integrating Aspects of Photography

description: Does photography in its various facets lead to alienation or integration? This article is based on a Eurasian survey among photography students from India and Europe. After working definitions of the central terms, it looks at aspects that students have mentioned in connection with alienation – including the view of photography as a barrier or intruder and the adoption of an external perspective on the own culture through photography, up to an individual escape through photography. With regard to integration, photography can open the gates to new experiences and allow growth and identity work, offer a common form of expression and go hand in hand with empathy and knowledge, which matches some aspects of Indian art theory. All in all, the answers of the Indian and European students were quite similar. It turns out that the more reflected people are about photography, the more they can benefit from it.

Exercise cardio-protection from chemotherapy for breast cancer
Creators: name: Kirkham, Amy Ashley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: One in nine women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, yet 88% will live for at least five years after diagnosis. Cardiovascular disease has become the most common cause of death of older breast cancer survivors, and breast cancer survivors are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than women who have not had breast cancer. One of the contributing factors to the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is anthracycline chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity, or damage to the myocardium. The need for balance of oncological efficacy with cardiotoxicity of anthracycline chemotherapy has driven the active investigation of cardio-protective strategies. Exercise, an accessible and inexpensive intervention with numerous other health benefits, has demonstrated efficacy for attenuating cardiotoxicity in numerous preclinical (i.e. animal model) studies; a finding yet to be confirmed by clinical research. This dissertation investigated the potential for exercise cardio-protection from anthracycline chemotherapy in women diagnosed with breast cancer in three studies. The primary findings are: 1) during anthracycline treatment, adherence to supervised exercise training following the guidelines for cancer survivors varies widely; 2) the primary reason for withdrawal, missed exercise sessions, and non-adherence to prescribed intensity and/or duration was treatment-related symptoms; 3) despite low and variable adherence, women who enrolled in an exercise training program during anthracycline chemotherapy for breast cancer did not experience a clinically relevant deterioration of echocardiography-derived systolic global longitudinal strain or strain rate, which are both established predictive markers of cardiotoxicity; 4) global longitudinal strain has excellent intra-observer reliability and is consistently measurable in breast cancer patients, making it an excellent option for an outcome measure to assess cardio-protection; 5) performance of a single vigorous intensity aerobic exercise bout performed 24 hours prior to anthracycline treatment attenuates the acute NT-proBNP myocardial injury marker response to the first treatment, and alters hemodynamic regulation and cardiac structure after completion of treatment, but has no effect on longitudinal strain or strain rate or treatment symptoms. Overall this dissertation provides proof-of-principal for exercise cardio-protection, and contributes novel findings regarding exercise prescription and outcome measure assessment for future exercise cardio-protection studies during anthracycline treatment for breast cancer.
Eternal Truth and the Mutations of Time: Archival Documents and Claims of Timeless Truth

Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico

description: Philosophical texts regarded as «inspired» present special difficulties for textual editors and intellectual historians that can be mitigated by the study of archival documents. The works of the philosopher and yogī Aurobindo Ghose are considered important contributions to twentieth-century Indian literature and philosophy. Some of his followers regard them as inspired and therefore not subject to critical study. Aurobindo himself accepted the reality of inspiration but also thought that inspired texts, such as the Bhagavad Gītā, contain a temporal as well as an eternal element. Aurobindo’s papers are preserved in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Archives, which took shape during the 1970s. Editions of Aurobindo’s books published between his death in 1950 and 1977 were issued without consulting his manuscripts, early editions, etc., and therefore contain transmission errors, subjective emendations, etc. The editors of texts issued after 1977 followed the established methodology of textual criticism and so eliminated many obvious errors. Some of Aurobindo’s readers refused to accept the new editions, and agitated for the restoration of the earlier texts, going so far as to file legal cases against the editors and the administrators of his ashram or spiritual community. A nuanced approach to the editing of texts regarded by some as inspired must take the sentiments of readers into consideration while insisting on scholarly rigour.

The Genesis of a Philosophical Poem: Sri Aurobindo, World Literature and the Writing of Savitri
Creators: name: Hartz, Richard
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2020

description: Philosophical poetry has had a long and distinguished history in different cultural traditions. These traditions have always interacted to some extent, but today the barriers between them have largely broken down. Savitri, an epic in English by the early twentieth-century Indian philosopher and poet Sri Aurobindo, is a notable outcome of the confluence of Eastern and Western civilisations. Based on a creative reworking of a legend from the Sanskrit epic, the Mahābhārata, it incorporates in its neo-Vedantic vision aspects of the worldviews represented by the great philosophical poems of ancient, medieval and modern Europe. As vast in scope as any of these works, Savitri took shape over much of the poet’s life in a way comparable to Goethe’s Faust. A study of the stages of its composition reveals much about the author’s artistic, intellectual and spiritual development and gives insight into the poem’s autobiographical dimension.

description: When a spinning system experiences a transient gravitational encounter with an external perturber, a quasi-resonance occurs if the spin frequency of the victim matches the peak orbital frequency of the perturber. Such encounters are responsible for the formation of long tails and bridges of stars during galaxy collisions. For high-speed encounters, the resulting velocity perturbations can be described within the impulse approximation. The traditional impulse approximation, however, does not distinguish between prograde and retrograde encounters, and therefore completely misses the resonant response. Here, using perturbation theory, we compute the effects of quasi-resonant phenomena on stars orbiting within a disk. Explicit expressions are derived for the velocity and energy change to the stars induced by tidal forces from an external gravitational perturber passing either on a straight line or parabolic orbit. Comparisons with numerical restricted three-body calculations illustrate the applicability of our analysis.

description: Is there a specificity peculiar to the “Foucault archives” that makes them a sensitive object for philosophical and critical thought today? Can we use the “Foucault case” to reflect more broadly on the question of the philosophical archive / archives – what does the creation of archives for philosophers imply in terms of the reception and re-actualisation of their thought? In this article, we will start with a description of the multiple Foucault archives existing today and the history of their composition, as well as an initial discussion of their possible uses. We would then like to start from the concrete, material experience of the archives in order to ask a question that is more than methodological, ethico-political: would there be a “good use” (and therefore a “bad use”) of the archives of and by philosophers? More specifically, is there a “Foucaultian exception” which would require the Foucaultian, and probably philosophical, archives to be used in a broad sense, in a “different” way? We will plead for the construction of an ethic which is rather an “aesthetic” of the philosophical archives: the ability to bring out through the work on archives not something like “the good and true identity” of their author, but points of diffraction, unexpected faces, new writings.

A Typology of the Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Writing of Text Alternatives
Creators: name: Pichler, Alois
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2020

description: The paper describes the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s writing of text alternatives as it manifests itself in his manuscripts. Decided, undecided and cancelled alternatives are distinguished. Moreover, Wittgensteinian types of marking his text alternatives are described: this includes marking by writing the alternative phrase in parallel above line; marking change of order; separation markers; explicit comment; marking the alternative phrase by putting it between brackets or, most famously, double slashes. Finally, the phenomenon of bound text alternatives in Wittgenstein’s writings is discussed.

In the name of the Author: The artificial unity of Jan Patočka’s scattered works

description: At the time of his sudden death in 1977, the Czech philosopher Jan Patočka left a large philosophical legacy with no will and testament. For the last 43 years, the editors of his Collected Works have been reconstructing a unified and thematically articulated oeuvre from the more than 10,000 pages found in his drawers and boxes. It should in the end include not only the texts published during Patočka’s lifetime but also his many unpublished manuscripts, fragments, variations, drafts of unfinished philosophical projects, notebooks and letters. After demonstrating in which sense the death of the author coincides in Patočka’s case with the birth of his oeuvre, the article aims to show that the unity of Patočka’s work is not something given, but rather something to be artificially reconstructed, in an always disputable fashion, since the internal coherence of its various thematic divisions is necessarily itself a matter of ongoing interpretation.

Flares and Proper Motions of Ground-State OH Masers in W75N

description: The star-forming region W75N hosts bright OH masers that are observed to be variable. We present observations taken in 2008 of the ground-state OH maser transitions with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and the Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) and with the Nancay Radio Telescope in 2011. Several of the masers in W75N were observed to be flaring, with the brightest 1720-MHz maser in excess of 400 Jy. The 1720-MHz masers appear to be associated with the continuum source VLA 1, unlike the bright flaring 1665- and 1667-MHz masers, which are associated with VLA 2. The 1720-MHz masers are located in an outflow traced by water masers and are indicative of very dense molecular material near the H II region. The magnetic field strengths are larger in the 1720-MHz maser region than in most regions hosting only main-line OH masers. The density falls off along the outflow, and the order of appearance of different transitions of OH masers is consistent with theoretical models. The 1665- and 1667-MHz VLBA data are compared against previous epochs over a time baseline of over 7 years. The median maser motion is 3.5 km/s, with a scatter that is comparable to thermal turbulence. The general pattern of maser proper motions observed in the 1665- and 1667-MHz transitions is consistent with previous observations.

title: Journalism Professors in the German Democratic Republic: A Collective Biography
Creators: name: Meyen (Ed.), Michael
Publisher: name: USC Annenberg Press
Year: 2017

description: Based on archive material and biographical interviews, this article reveals a dead end of the discipline’s history. Examining all 25 full professors of journalism in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the study shows that the politically motivated closure of the Leipzig department in 1990 buried a paradigm that had lost the connection to
international discussions. Even if the invention of the East German alternative was clearly shaped by the communists’ demand for journalists who would fit into the steered media, both the origins and requirements for the field’s professors and their very first steps were quite similar to the rest of the world. However, when globalization and academization took off in full force, GDR professors became increasingly isolated from the field.
Rereading Frantz Fanon in the light of his unpublished texts
Creators: name: Khalfa, Jean

description: Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) is principally known as a great theoretician of race relations and decolonization, in particular through the two main books he published during his lifetime Black Skin, White Masks (1952) and The Wretched of the Earth (1961). What is less known is that he was in parallel a pioneering psychiatrist and an early and recognized theoretician of ethnopsychiatry. A volume of about a thousand pages of texts either difficult to access or presumed lost was recently published, following more than a decade of research in archives located in different parts of the world. It reveals first the importance and originality of his thought as a scientist, and secondly the importance of this dimension of his work for the understanding of his political texts. This is shown on two points: 1) the role of violence in the decolonization process, when compared with Fanon’s texts on psychiatric internment, the phenomenon of agitation and the alternative model of social therapy and 2) the use of «identity» as cultural foundation for newly decolonized states, which he strongly criticised, when compared with Fanon’s systematic questioning of any personal «constitution» in his psychiatric and ethnopsychiatric work.

Essays in identification and estimation of duration models and varying coefficient models
Creators: name: He, Xiaoqi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Chapter 1 studies the identification of a preemption game where the timing decisions are expressed as mixed hitting time (MHT). It considers a preemption game with private information, where agents choose optimal time to invest, with payoffs driven by Geometric Brownian Motion. The game delivers the optimal timing of investment based on a threshold rule that depends on both the observed covariates and the unobserved heterogeneity. The timing decision rules specify durations before the irreversible investment as the first time the Geometric Brownian Motion hits a heterogeneous threshold, which fits the MHT framework. As a result, identification strategies for MHT can be used for a first stage identification analysis of the model primitives. Estimation results are performed in a Monte Carlo simulation study. Chapter 2 studies the identification of a real options game similar to chapter 1, but with complete information. Because of the multiple equilibria problems associated with the complete information game, the point identification is only achieved for a duopoly case. This simple complete information game delivers two possible different kinds of equilibria, and we can separate the parameter space of unobserved investment cost accordingly for different equilibria. We also show the non-identification result for a three-player case in appendix B.4. Chapter 3 studies the estimation of a varying coefficient model without a complete data set. We use a nearest-matching method to combine two incomplete samples to get a complete data set. We demonstrate that the simple local linear estimator of the varying coefficient model using the combined sample is inconsistent and in general the convergence rate is slower than the parametric rate to its probability limit. We propose the bias-corrected estimator and investigate the asymptotic properties. In particular, the bias-corrected estimator attains the parametric convergence rate if the number of matching variables is one. Monte Carlo simulation results are consistent with our findings.
Developing Digital Technology at the Husserl Archives. A Report

description: After a brief introduction to the history of the Husserl Archives I focus on the methodological specificities in studying Husserl’s work on the basis of his manuscripts and of his archives. In a second step I expound on the effects that the current shift from an analogous to a hybrid analogous and digital archives is producing in the self-understanding of the practices of our institution. Particularly, developing digital technology means that the Husserl Archives are entering a new phase in respect to how archival and editorial impulses will affect the presentation of Husserl’s writings. Finally, I offer some perspectives about how the planned virtual platform («digitalHusserl»), which will give direct access to his manuscripts, is designed to promote a new understanding of Husserl’s specific process of philosophical writing, of his unique wording of thoughts.
