description: Anja Zimmermann: Image, Science, Gender This paper considers the increasing interest in science visualisation in recent years. The mutation of art history to disciplines such as visual culture (or iconic criticism and iconographic research) raises the problem of the constant recourse to anthropological research traditions, which disregard already established differentiations. The contribution of gender to a visual culture perspective amounts to a deepening differentiation, whereas in turn questions raised by visual culture can enrich the application of gender studies in art history with fresh subjects and new evaluative possibilities. Against the implicitly totalising claim of visual culture, this paper sets a critical gender perspective on visual culture intent on taking into account categories of difference that otherwise risk being lost in the quest for an “anthropology of the image.”

Melange. Zur Konzeption von Leiblichkeit und Alterität in der französischen Bildhauerei des 12. Jahrhunderts am Beispiel einer Konsolenfigur von Montceaux-l’Etoile

description: Melange. On the conception of Corporeality and Alterity in French sculpture of the 12th Century through the Example of a Console Figure at Montceaux-l'Etoile The winged creature at the portal of a church in southern Burgundy is often interpreted as a bird-siren and as the embodiment of earthly temptations attributed to the realm of evil. Based on a close description of the features of this figure, this paper shows other possible levels of meaning. By interweaving contrasting statements and transgressing supposedly “natural” categories, the creature evades any clear identification: it is at once human and animal, dressed in a garment that is covers skin and simultaneously reveals a scale-covered body; it is sexually indeterminate, hovering between inside and outside, between life and death. The creature depicts the boundaries and the limitations of man-made categorical order. It highlights the latter’s arbitrariness and inadequacy, and recalls of the hypothesis of the historian David A. Williams concerning the location of the “monstrous” in the Middle Ages: at the edges of the order and very close to its “divine” center. Melange. Zur Konzeption von Leiblichkeit und Alterität in der französischen Bildhauerei des 12. Jahrhunderts am Beispiel einer Konsolenfigur von Montceaux-l'Etoile Die geflügelte Kreatur am Portal einer Pfarrkirche im Süden der Bourgogne wird in der Forschung häufig als Vogel-Sirene gedeutet und als Verkörperung irdischer Verlockungen dem Feld des Bösen zugerechnet. Auf der Grundlage einer dichten Beschreibung ihrer gestalterischen Merkmale zeigt dieser Aufsatz allerdings weitere mögliche Bedeutungsebenen der Figur auf. In der Verwebung gegensätzlicher Aussagen und der Überschreitung scheinbar ‚natürlicher‘ Kategorien entzieht sich die Kreatur einer eindeutigen Bestimmung: menschlich und tierisch zugleich, gekleidet in einer Hülle, die zugleich Hautoberfläche ist und den Blick auf einen schuppenbedeckten Leib gewährt, geschlechtlich unbestimmbar, zwischen Innen und Außen, Leben und Tod schwebend. Die Kreatur verbildlicht die Grenzen bzw. die Begrenztheit der von Menschen gemachten kategorialen Ordnung. Sie zeigt ihre Willkür und Unzulänglichkeit und erinnert damit an die These des Historiker David A. Williams zur Verortung des ‚Monströse‘ im Mittelalter: zugleich an den Rändern der Ordnung und ihrem ‚göttlichen‘ Zentrum sehr nahe.

We prove the existence of a pro-finite $S$-group scheme $\aleph(X,x)$ and a universal $\aleph(X,x)$-torsor dominating all the pro-finite pointed torsors over $X$. Though $\aleph(X,x)$ may not be unique in general it still can provide useful information in order to better understand $X$. In a similar way we prove the existence of a pro-algebraic $S$-group scheme $\aleph^{\rm alg}(X,x)$ and a $\aleph^{\rm alg}(X,x)$-torsor dominating all the pro-algebraic and affine pointed torsors over $X$. The case where $X\to S$ has no sections is also considered.

description: Group activities are important behaviors in human society, providing personalized recommendations for groups is referred to as the group recommendation task. Existing methods can usually be categorized into two strategies to infer group preferences: 1) determining group preferences by aggregating members' personalized preferences, and 2) inferring group consensus by capturing group members' coherent decisions after common compromises. However, the former would suffer from the lack of group-level considerations, and the latter overlooks the fine-grained preferences of individual users. To this end, we propose a novel group recommendation method AlignGroup, which focuses on both group consensus and individual preferences of group members to infer the group decision-making. Specifically, AlignGroup explores group consensus through a well-designed hypergraph neural network that efficiently learns intra- and inter-group relationships. Moreover, AlignGroup innovatively utilizes a self-supervised alignment task to capture fine-grained group decision-making by aligning the group consensus with members' common preferences. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets validate that our AlignGroup outperforms the state-of-the-art on both the group recommendation task and the user recommendation task, as well as outperforms the efficiency of most baselines.

On the Radius Anomaly of Hot Jupiters: Reexamination of the Possibility and Impact of Layered Convection
Creators: name: Kurokawa, Hiroyuki

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Observations have revealed that a significant number of hot Jupiters have anomalously large radii. Layered convection induced by compositional inhomogeneity has been proposed to account for the radius anomaly of hot Jupiters. To reexamine the impact of the compositional inhomogeneity, we perform an evolutionary calculation by determining convection regime at each evolutionary time step according to the criteria from linear analyses. It is shown that the impact is limited in the case of the monotonic gradient of heavy element abundance. The layered convection is absent for the first 1 Gyr from the formation of hot Jupiters and instead overturning convection develops. The super-adiabaticity of the temperature gradient is limited by the neutrally stable state for the Ledoux stability criterion. The effect of the increased mass of heavy elements essentially compensates the effect of the delayed contraction on the planetary radius caused by compositional inhomogeneity. In addition, even in the case where the layered convection is artificially imposed, this mechanism requires extremely thin layers (~ 10^1-10^3 cm) to account for the observed radius anomaly. The long-term stability of such thin layers remains to be studied. Therefore, if the criteria adopted in this paper are adequate, it might be difficult to explain the inflated radii of hot Jupiters by monotonic gradient of heavy element abundance alone.

description: A new method using a machine learning technique is applied to event classification and detection at seismic networks. This method is applicable to a variety of network sizes and settings. The algorithm makes use of a small catalogue of known observations across the entire network. Two attributes, the polarization and frequency content, are used as input to regression. These attributes are extracted at predicted arrival times for P and S waves using only an approximate velocity model, as attributes are calculated over large time spans. This method of waveform characterization is shown to be able to distinguish between blasts and earthquakes with 99 percent accuracy using a network of 13 stations located in Southern California. The combination of machine learning with generalized waveform features is further applied to event detection in Oklahoma, United States. The event detection algorithm makes use of a pair of unique seismic phases to locate events, with a precision directly related to the sampling rate of the generalized waveform features. Over a week of data from 30 stations in Oklahoma, United States are used to automatically detect 25 times more events than the catalogue of the local geological survey, with a false detection rate of less than 2 per cent. This method provides a highly confident way of detecting and locating events. Furthermore, a large number of seismic events can be automatically detected with low false alarm, allowing for a larger automatic event catalogue with a high degree of trust.

description: We have investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of perovskite SrRu1-xIrxO3 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on atomically-flat (001) SrTiO3 substrates. SrRuO3 has the properties of a ferromagnetic metal with Curie temperature 150 K. Substituting Ir for Ru in SrRuO3, films showed fully-metallic behavior and ferromagnetic ordering, although resistivity increased and the ferromagnetic TC decreased. Films with x = 0.25 underwent the metal-to-insulator transition at 75 K, and spin-glass-like ordering at 45 K with the elimination of ferromagnetic long-range ordering caused by the electron localization at the substitution sites. In ferromagnetic films, resistivity increased near-linearly with T, but in paramagnetic film (x = 0.25) resistivity increased as T3/2. Moreover, observed spin-glass-like (TSG) ordering with the negative magnetoresistance in film with x = 0.25; validates the hypothesis that (Anderson) localization favors glassy ordering at amply disorder limit. These observations provide a promising approach for future applications and of fundamental interest in 4d and 5d mixed perovskites.

Negotiation in the shadow of an extremist threat

description: In this paper I model negotiations between a state and the moderate faction of a terrorist organization first with complete information and later with this assumption dropped. The goal of this exercise is to reach a more complete understanding of what can be expected from such negotiations. The results of the model indicate that under certain circumstances, when moderates agree to cooperate with the state, extremists may attack the moderates of their own organization. This provides an explanation for the elevated levels of terrorist violence that accompany state negotiations with terrorists. The model also suggests that, under certain circumstances, the moderate faction may initiate negotiations with the state to push the extremists into offering concessions (which might include, among other things, a greater role in the decision making of the group or public services such as schools and infrastructure) to the moderates.

description: Resolved observations are bringing new constraints on the origin of radial gaps in protoplanetary disks. The kinematics, sampled in detail in one case-study, are indicative of non-Keplerian flows, corresponding to warped structures and accretion which may both play a role in the development of cavities. Disk asymmetries seen in the radio continuum are being interpreted in the context of dust segregation via aerodynamic trapping. We summarise recent observational progress, and also describe prospects for improvements in the near term.

It shown that under some assumptions on $ f $ and $ g $, the problem has at least one positive solution $(u,v)$. Our proof is based on the classical scaling method of Gidas and Spruck and topological degree theory.

description: At present neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) gas in galaxies at redshifts above $z \sim 0.3$ (the extent of 21-cm emission surveys in individual galaxies) and below $z \sim 1.7$ (where the Lyman-$α$ line is not observable with ground-based telescopes) has remained largely unexplored. The advent of precursor telescopes to the Square Kilometre Array will allow us to conduct the first systematic radio-selected 21-cm absorption surveys for HI over these redshifts. While HI absorption is a tracer of the reservoir of cold neutral gas in galaxies available for star formation, it can also be used to reveal the extreme kinematics associated with jet-driven neutral outflows in radio-loud active galactic nuclei. Using the six-antenna Boolardy Engineering Test Array of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, we have demonstrated that in a single frequency tuning we can detect HI absorption over a broad range of redshifts between $z = 0.4$ and $1.0$. As part of our early science and commissioning program, we are now carrying out a search for absorption towards a sample of the brightest GPS and CSS sources in the southern sky. These intrinsically compact sources present us with an opportunity to study the circumunuclear region of recently re-started radio galaxies, in some cases showing direct evidence of mechanical feedback through jet-driven outflows. With the sensitivity of the full ASKAP array we will be able to study the kinematics of atomic gas in a few thousand radio galaxies, testing models of radio jet feedback well beyond the nearby Universe

description: The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) has implemented interactive-engagement in its introductory physics curriculum for students majoring in both the life sciences and the physical sciences. As a measure of teaching effectiveness, UNC-CH has been administering both the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) and Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) to students in introductory courses since Fall 2007. This project examines students’ performance on both the FCI (N=7863) and CSEM (N=5222) using several established metrics for determining learning gains. This study finds that the implementation of interactive-engagement has a statistically significant increase of learning gains, independent of student gender or ethnicity. Furthermore, it was observed that learning gaps between genders narrowed for students enrolled in courses for physical science majors. Finally, further opportunities for study and data analysis are described for future use within UNC-CH’s research program.

description: Superoxide reductases are non-heme iron enzymes that represent valuable model systems for the reductive detoxification of reactive oxygen species. In the present study, we applied different theoretical methods to study the structural dynamics of a prototypical 2Fe-superoxide reductase and its influence on electron transfer towards the active site. Using normal mode and essential dynamics analyses, we could show that enzymes of this type are capable of well-defined, electrostatically triggered domain movements, which may allow conformational proofreading for cellular redox partners involved in intermolecular electron transfer. Moreover, these global modes of motion were found to enable access to molecular configurations with decreased tunnelling distances between the active site and the enzyme's second iron centre. Using all-atom classical molecular dynamics simulations and the tunnelling pathway model, however, we found that electron transfer between the two metal sites is not accelerated under these conditions. This unexpected finding suggests that the unperturbed enzymatic structure is optimized for intramolecular electron transfer, which provides an indirect indication of the biological relevance of such a mechanism. Consistently, efficient electron transfer was found to depend on a distinct route, which is accessible via the equilibrium geometry and characterized by a quasi conserved tyrosine that could enable multistep-tunnelling (hopping). Besides these explicit findings, the present study demonstrates the importance of considering both global and local protein dynamics, and a generalized approach for the functional analysis of these aspects is provided.
Exploring the Genetic Basis of Early Childhood Caries

description: Objectives: We sought to 1) determine the proportion of ECC variance explained by high-density genotyping of the human genome, and 2) identify associated genetic loci. Methods: The discovery sample comprised 212 children participating in the study (ZOE) in North Carolina. DNA was purified from saliva and genotyped using Illumina HumanOmni2.5-8 arrays. “Prioritized” SNPs with P<5x10-5 were examined for replication in 3 independent cohorts of preschool-age children from the COHRA (n=326), IFS (n=348) and IHS (n=247) studies. Results: Fifty-two percent (P=0.03) of ECC variance was explained by all SNPs with minor allele frequency ≥5%. We found no genome-wide significant association (P<5x10-8), but 13 loci had P<5x10-5. No locus met statistical significance criteria in the replication samples. Conclusion: These results affirm a heritable component of ECC and demonstrate the feasibility of conducting genomics studies among preschool-age children.

description: Ursula von Keitz Visibility as an Aporia. On the Discourse on Skin (Color) in Douglas Sirk’s Imitation of Life One of the most important efforts in the development of color film technology was to accurately and realistically reproduce human skin color. In the mid 1930s, it became possible for cinematography to depict the full spectrum of skin colors. From that time on, feature films in the Western culture established a semantic classification of the gendered person which black-and-white films had only been able to display in shades of gray. Fair female skin was closely related to a white middle-class existence and associated with a high moral tone. The darker hue of male skin was associated with vitality (and outdoor activities in general). Women with a darker skin color, in contrast, were often explicitly sexualized and were closely associated with moral transgression. In Sirk’s Imitation of Life, released in 1959, a young light-skinned woman, born to a black mother, struggles for identity in a world of racial discrimination. She passes as “white” (and the film shows us the real difference between her skin colors and that of her mother in many scenes), because whiteness is the only color that can lead to social success. Thus the film reflects on the particular problem of the visible character in a medium of visibility. By constructing herself as white and positing appearance as essence, the light-skinned “black” woman unmasks the social construction of any racial difference.

description: With the EU continuing to expand it's foreign policy platform, including operating as conflict management actors, it is important to analyze their performance thus far. This thesis will outline the goals and capabilities of the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP), focusing on three varied attempts at conflict management in order to assess whether the EU can and should continue with ESDP. What will be shown is that while ESDP has had some mixed success, there is potential for the EU to be a significant actor in the future. Additionally, the thesis will show that along with conflict resolution and maintenance of peace, successful ESDP operations can lead to important improvements in long-tern human welfare.

description: Purpose – The methods of quality management, business process management and knowledge management have until now been exploited by science and the industry separately. An integration of these disciplines could unlock the potential of a solid structure to measure and gradually improve knowledge transfer processes. This paper aims to address this issue. Design/methodology/approach – A maturity model was developed for SMEs to measure and assess the quality of their business processes. This enabled the companies to determine their existing status and to take the necessary actions for the competence development of their business processes, which should contribute to the attainment of their knowledge management goals. Research limitations/implications – This paper introduces a maturity model for knowledge-intensive business processes that enables companies to determine their processes’ actual state and take the corresponding actions for their business processes improvement, in which special attention is being given to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Originality/value – The paper proposes an SME-specified maturity model for knowledge-intensive business processes. Its assessment procedure is developed based on literature researches and investigation of real processes of two industrial SMEs. This maturity model has advantages over other existing models since it accounts for the needs of SMEs by incorporating the company preference over the measured areas.
Absorption/Reflexion – Oberflächem bei Kerry James Marshall und Glen Ligon

description: Antje Krause-Wahl Absorption/Reflection. The Painted Surfaces of Kerry James Marshall and Glenn Ligon This article explores how Marshall and Ligon use the colors black and white to reflect alterity and hybridity in contemporary painting. By comparing the strategies of the two artists, who became known in Europe through documentas X and XI, this article makes clear that their use of black differs: Marshall works with an absorbing color, drawing attention to the invisibility of black (art) history, while at the same time creating images with which an African-American community can identify. In contrast, Glenn Ligon’s shimmering surfaces made out of coal dust can be linked to the discourse surrounding the images of black skin in Robert Mapplethorpe’s Black Book. Ligon’s paintings not only attract the gaze but also obscure it, a process that underscores how we view the unknown “other”. Furthermore, the reflecting and absorbing surfaces play with references to abstract expressionism in queering their “male black”.

description: In this paper, the solubility of carbon dioxide (CO$_{2}$) in water along the isobar of 400 bar is determined by computer simulations using the well-known TIP4P/Ice force field for water and TraPPE model for CO$_{2}$. In particular, the solubility of CO$_{2}$ in water when in contact with the CO$_{2}$ liquid phase, and the solubility of CO$_{2}$ in water when in contact with the hydrate have been determined. The solubility of CO$_{2}$ in a liquid-liquid system decreases as temperature increases. The solubility of CO$_{2}$ in a hydrate-liquid system increases with temperature. The two curves intersect at a certain temperature that determines the dissociation temperature of the hydrate at 400 bar ($T_{3}$). We compare the predictions with the $T_{3}$ obtained using the direct coexistence technique in a previous work. The results of both methods agree and we suggest 290(2)K as the value of $T_{3}$ for this system using the same cutoff distance for dispersive interactions. We also propose a novel and alternative route to evaluate the change in chemical potential for the formation of hydrate along the isobar. The new approach is based on the use of the solubility curve of CO$_{2}$ when the aqueous solution is in contact with the hydrate phase. It considers rigorously the non-ideality of the aqueous solution of CO$_{2}$, providing reliable values for driving force for nucleation of hydrates in good agreement with other thermodynamic routes used. It is shown that the driving force for hydrate nucleation at 400 bar is larger for the methane hydrate than for the carbon dioxide hydrate when compared at the same supercooling. We have also analyzed and discussed the effect of the cutoff distance of the dispersive interactions and the occupancy of CO$_{2}$ on the driving force for nucleation of the hydrate.

Medien und Metaphern des Schwarzweiß – Geschichte, Geschlecht und Bilderpolitik bei Kara Walker – mit einem kurzen Ausflug zu Cindy Sherman und Zwelethu Mthethwa

description: Anja Zimmermann Media and Metaphors of Black-and-white. History, Gender and Visual Politics in the Work of Kara Walker, Cindy Sherman, and Zwelethu Mthethwa Artistic techniques of black-and-white are loaded with cultural meaning. In part referring to color and contrast, black-and-white also always connotes racial difference. The article explores this intertwined relationship of certain artistic strategies and their cultural effects. Concentrating on the work of the American artist Kara Walker, who uses silhouettes in her work, the aim is to show how this and other related techniques are used to thwart prevailing notions of gender and race. Having created a fiercely debated body of work that has been called sexist and racist by a number of critics, Kara Walker is an example of the ambiguous effects of invoking pertinent stereotypes. Another focal point is the possible consequences for analyzing artwork that does not overtly deal with race but which nevertheless – e.g. by using black-and-white techniques –should be read in this context. Cindy Sherman is a case in point, as her work deals with representations of white femininity, but was received merely as a comment on postmodern debates about gender.

description: We investigated the nature of transport and magnetic properties in SrIr0.5Ru0.5O3, (SIRO) which has characteristics intermediate between a correlated non-Fermi liquid state and an itinerant Fermi liquid state, by growing perovskite thin films on various substrates (SrTiO3 (001), (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2TaAlO6)0.7 (001) and LaAlO3 (001)). We observed systematic variation of underlying substrate dependent metal-to-insulator transition temperatures at 80 K on SrTiO3, 90 K on (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2TaAlO6)0.7 and 100 K on LaAlO3) in resistivity. Resistivity in the metallic region follows a T3/2 power law; whereas insulating nature at low T is due to the localization effect. Magnetoresistance (MR) measurement of SIRO on SrTiO3 (001) shows negative MR upto 25 K and positive MR above 25 K, with negative MR proportional to B1/2 and positive MR proportional to B2; consistent with the localized-to-normal transport crossover dynamics. Furthermore, observed spin glass like behavior of SIRO on SrTiO3 (001) in the localized regime, validates the hypothesis that (Anderson) localization favors glassy ordering. These remarkable features provide a promising approach for future applications and of fundamental interest in oxide thin films.

A Comparison of Residential Water and Sewer Rates in Georgia
Creators: name: Horowitz, Mark Samuel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: When setting rates, many utilities use rate surveys - regional compilations of utilities' rates - to gauge a fair price increase. However, each utility has a unique set of factors that affect its rate, so simple comparisons between two utility rates may lead to the wrong conclusion. This thesis describes regression models which provide better comparisons by incorporating factors that influence rates. Two types of bills - water only and combined water and sewer - are modeled at four consumption levels: 3000, 6000, 9000, and 12000 gallons per month. The models use the data from all the utilities in the sample to provide an estimated average bill, with a 95% confidence interval, for each utility. Then, each utility can compare its actual bill with this estimate. The models also show that high bills (both types) are associated with source water, recent rate changes, large grants, and large connection fees at most consumption levels.
"Une mémoire d'ombres et de pierre" - Kulturelle Differenz und Geschlechterdifferenz in Hiroshima mon amour
Creators: name: Futscher, Edith
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2007

description: “Une mémoire d'ombres et de pierre”. Cultural and Sexual/Gender Difference in Hiroshima mon amour This article focuses on the very first pictures and takes from Alain Resnais’ and Marguerite Duras’ Hiroshima mon amour (1959), which anticipate their strategy of inverting the cultural constructions of black and white. While the story is based on the encounter and love of two subjects, male and female, who differ in many respects, Resnais’ and Duras’ approach is to overcome and indeed transgress the processes of othering via the articulation of differences: Historicity, ethnicity, and gender as well as sexuality are intertwined with the media of skin, film, and memory.

"... so bitter wie der Geschmack von Heißen gerösteten Kaffeebohnen..." - Trauma, Medialität und Hautfarbe in Kara Walkers Safety Curtain der Staatsoper in Wien

description: Birgit Haehnel "…and pungent as hot roasted coffee beans…” Trauma, Mediality, und Skin Color in Kara Walker's Safety Curtain in the Vienna State Opera House The traumatic memories of slavery persist and become visible in the shaping of skin color in visual culture, for example. The African-American woman artist Kara Walker grappled with these themes that point to the denial of memory and history in Austria. With her large-scale picture covering the safety curtain at the Vienna State Opera House in 1998, she raised new questions about the interconnections between slavery, racism, and fascism. Walker's silhouettes are defined as a specific design to overcome traumatic experiences with history that are enclosed in the figuration of racial stereotypes. The crucial factor is the effect of the medium: The blank space of the silhouettes is a sublime sign and has the power to break up the traumatic patterns of denial, which are inherent in European visual representations of black-and-white body images. As effectively charged signs touching the spectators’ senses as well as their mental and emotional states, they are able to change thinking or rather cause changes in awareness through perception. This thought refers to Gilles Delueze's concept of the “encountered signs”, Sigmund Freud’s “Erinnerungsspuren” (traces of memory), and Aby Warburg's “Pathosformeln / mnemische Energien”. Finally, the (art) historical creation of meaning is stimulated by the artwork and then entrusted to the spectators.

Über_Format. Monstrosität, whiteness und Gender in Kunst und Medien heute

Year: 2007

description: Barbara Paul On Format, Monstronity, Whiteness and Gender in Art and the Media Today This article analysis the subversive potential of a limitation of femininity, whiteness, and monstrosity through the example of Mara Mattuschka’s film S.O.S. Extraterrestria, the music video clip “Pass That Dutch” by the black American rapper Missy Elliott, and the color photographs of the Australian artist Destiny Deacon. As Paul argues, the combination of these three alterities makes it possible to shift the boundaries of normativity, a move that is adept at confound on a sustained basis discursively effective and yet still in large part invisible encodings and stereotypes.

description: We construct refined tropical enumerative genus zero invariants of toric surfaces that specialize to the tropical descendant genus zero invariants introduced by Markwig and Rau when the quantum parameter tends to $1$. In the case of trivalent tropical curves our invariants turn to be the Goettsche-Schroeter refined broccoli invariants. We show that this is the only possible refinement of the Markwig-Rau descendant invariants that generalizes the Goettsche-Schroeter refined broccoli invariants. We discuss also the computational aspect (a lattice path algorithm) and exhibit some examples.

description: In the present paper we show that the Gompertz function, the Fisher-Tippett and the Gumbel probability distributions are related to both Stirling numbers of the second kind and Bernoulli numbers. Especially we prove for the Gumbel probability density function an analog of the Grosset-Veselov formula which connects 1-soliton solution of the KdV equation with Bernoulli numbers.
