description: Der Begriff „Verstehen“ ist vielsinnig und besitzt mehrere Bedeutungsebenen, da er ganz schematisch – nimmt man Martin Heideggers Fundamentalontologie mal heraus, die Verstehen als ein Existenzial begreift – auf der einen Seite einen Grundbegriff unserer sozialen und kulturellen Lebenswelt darstellt, um unsere Mitmenschen und deren Handlungen (auch im Rückblick) zu verstehen. Auf der anderen Seite müssen wir aber auch Sinn verstehen: den Sinn von Texten, von Informationen, von Zeichen, von Regeln, von Traditionen, Gesetzen, Formularen und so weiter. Damit ist Verstehen ein Grundbegriff der Hermeneutik, also der (Kunst‑)Lehre des Verstehens oder der Interpretation von Texten. Auf dieser Grundlage wurde der Begriff zu einem wissenschaftstheoretischen und -philosophischen Konzept, an dem man seit Johann Gustav Droysen und Wilhelm Dilthey die Abgrenzung der Geistes- von den Naturwissenschaften festgemacht hat (S. 3 f.). Verstehen ist – wie Dilthey formuliert hat – die Methode, die die Geisteswissenschaften erfüllt. Es „ist das grundlegende Verfahren für alle weiteren Operationen der Geisteswissenschaften“ beziehungsweise „Verstehen [ist] grundlegend für die Geisteswissenschaften“. Und andererseits ist Verstehen der Fundamentalbegriff der von ihm postulierten deskriptiven Psychologie. Hier lautet das einschlägige Dilthey-Zitat: „Die Natur erklären wir, das Seelenleben verstehen wir.“ Die Frage nach dem Verstehen zeigt sich somit immer auch als die Frage nach dem Subjekt und Objekt des Verstehens, seien es Menschen, Handlungen oder Texte. Wer versteht wen oder was? Reicht es, wenn man „Verstehen“ als rationales Erfassen, Begreifen und Erkennen tieferer Einsichten und komplexerer Zusammenhänge definiert, oder impliziert es mehr?

description: In the article "Non-commutative Grobner bases for commutative algebras", Eisenbud-Peeva-Sturmfels proved a number of results regarding Grobner bases and initial ideals of those ideals in the free associative algebra which contain the commutator ideal. We prove similar results for ideals which contains the anti-commutator ideal (the defining ideal of the exterior algebra). We define one notion of generic initial ideals in the free assoicative algebra, and show that gin's of ideals containing the commutator ideal, or the anti-commutator ideal, are finitely generated.

description: The coupled Maxwell-Lorentz system describes feed-back action of electromagnetic fields in classical electrodynamics. When applied to point-charge sources (viewed as limiting cases of charged fluids) the resulting nonlinear weakly hyperbolic system lies beyond the scope of classical distribution theory. Using regularized derivatives in the framework of Colombeau algebras of generalized functions we analyze a two-dimensional analogue of the Maxwell-Lorentz system. After establishing existence and uniqueness of solutions in this setting we derive some results on distributional limits of solutions with $δ$-like initial values.

description: This dissertation explores the experience of Indian immigrants to the United States in the early twentieth century through an examination of the self-published writings of Dinshah P. Ghadiali, a Parsi Zoroastrian who immigrated to the United States with the hope of establishing himself as an important inventor but instead earned notoriety as a charismatic if irrepressible quack. With his family, Ghadiali settled in New Jersey in 1911, and became a naturalized citizen in 1917, the same year that Congress banned further immigration from all of Asia. He purchased a printing press early in his career to promote his discoveries but gradually repurposed it to archiving the many injuries and affronts he suffered in his encounters with immigration officials, police, journalists, judges, and juries. Ghadiali was arrested several times throughout his career for laws governing the practice of medicine, but he became the target of increasingly racialized persecution after he married a white woman in 1923. He was accused of "white slavery" and sentenced to prison for five years. In 1932, the government sought to strip him of his citizenship. Ghadiali believed he had been singled out for persecution by professional rivals--in fact, he was caught in a much broader campaign to denaturalize citizens of Indian origin after the Supreme Court, in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923), determined that Indians were "racially ineligible" for citizenship. The volumes examined here consist mainly of Ghadiali's reconstructions of his many encounters with the law. Rather than a biography or cultural study of racialization, this dissertation explores the way in which immigrant subjects participate in the crafting of personhood or subjectivity through violent and mundane encounters with legal institutions, legal language, and legal form.

description: We investigate the behaviour of the nuclear forces as a function of the light quark masses (or, equivalently, pion mass) in the framework of chiral effective field theory at next-to-leading order. The nucleon-nucleon force is described in terms of one- and two-pion exchange and local short distance operators, which depend explicitly and implicitly on the quark masses. The pion propagator becomes Coulomb-like in the chiral limit and thus one has significant scattering in all partial waves. The pion-nucleon coupling depends implicitly on the quark masses and we find that it becomes stronger in the chiral limit. There is a further quark mass dependence in the S-wave four--nucleon couplings, which can be estimated by means of dimensional analysis. We find that nuclear physics in the chiral limit becomes natural. There are no new bound states, the deuteron binding energy is B_D^{CL} = 9.6 +/- 1.9^+1.8_-1.0 MeV, and the S-wave scattering lengths take values of a few fm, a_{CL} (^1S_0) = -4.1 +/- 1.6^+0.0_-0.4 fm and a_{CL} (^3S_1) = 1.5 +/- 0.4^+0.2_-0.3 fm. We also discuss the extrapolation to larger pion masses pertinent for the extraction of these quantities from lattice simulations.

description: We numerically study weak, random, spatial velocity modulation ["quenched gravitational disorder" (QGD)] in two-dimensional massless Dirac materials. QGD couples to the spatial components of the stress tensor; the gauge-invariant disorder strength is encoded in the quenched curvature. Although expected to produce negligible effects, wave interference due to QGD transforms all but the lowest-energy states into a quantum-critical "stack" with universal, energy-independent spatial fluctuations. We study five variants of velocity disorder, incorporating three different local deformations of the Dirac cone: flattening or steepening of the cone, pseudospin rotations, and nematic deformation (squishing) of the cone. QGD should arise for nodal excitations in the $d$-wave cuprate superconductors (SCs), due to gap inhomogeneity. Our results may explain the division between low-energy "coherent" (plane-wave-like) and finite-energy "incoherent" (spatially inhomogeneous) excitations in the SC and pseudogap regimes. The model variant that best matches the cuprate phenomenology possesses quenched random pseudospin rotations and nematic fluctuations. This model variant and another with pure nematic randomness exhibit a robust energy swath of stacked critical states, the width of which increases with increasing disorder strength. By contrast, quenched fluctuations that isotropically flatten or steepen the Dirac cone tend to produce strong disorder effects, with more rarified wave functions at low- and high-energies. Our models also describe the surface states of class DIII topological SCs.

description: Although scholarship on human rights has burgeoned within literary studies in recent years, that scholarship primarily engages literature as an outlet for trauma and witnessing, rather than restoration and recovery. "The Art of Reconciliation in Rwanda" instead reflects upon the recuperative capacities of art to fuel State-led reconciliation programs. Concentrating on Rwandan literature, theater, film, and memorial sites following the 1994 genocide, I theorize the many literatures of reconciliation in terms of three distinct genres: transfiguration, trial, and memorialization. Existing debates about reconciliation within Rwanda have furthermore been dominated by social science and ethnographic research that wrongly reduce reconciliation to ethnic identity, thereby presuming that survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators only possess conflicting views over the national project to unify. But as the artworks I discuss differently indicate, Rwandan reconciliation has exceeded such formulaic categories to manifest in overlapping genres and vectors of identification that transcend ethnic divides. In my dissertation, genre thus offers a route to both creating and perceiving the “commonality within difference” so crucial to successful reconciliation politics.
Rotating dust solutions of Einstein's equations with 3-dimensional symmetry groups, Part 3: All Killing fields linearly independent of u^α and w^α

description: This is the third and last part of a series of 3 papers. Using the same method and the same coordinates as in parts 1 and 2, rotating dust solutions of Einstein's equations are investigated that possess 3-dimensional symmetry groups, under the assumption that each of the Killing vectors is linearly independent of velocity $u^α$ and rotation $w^α$ at every point of the spacetime region under consideration. The Killing fields are found and the Killing equations are solved for the components of the metric tensor in every case that arises. No progress was made with the Einstein equations in any of the cases, and no previously known solutions were identified. A brief overview of literature on solutions with rotating sources is given.

description: During the early modern period, practitioners in oftentimes unrelated arts and sciences began to experiment with transcribing and disseminating technical information by means of new symbolic notations. Algebra, music, chemistry, dance—whole fields of knowledge were quite literally rewritten with plus signs, treble clefs, affinity tables, and step symbols. “The Art of Signs” examines why early modern people working within and across disciplinary boundaries converged on the idea that developing complex symbolic notations would ultimately be worthwhile by reconstructing the reasons that they gave for doing so. It argues that symbolic notations appealed because they enabled powerful techniques of “visual thinking” that had no analogue in more conventional methods of inquiry. Notations transformed problems of information into problems of visualization whose solutions could then be derived by manipulating the properties of the drawn, two-dimensional plane. Indeed, early modern proponents of notations frequently described them in terms of vision, of being able to “see” things with them that they had not recognized before. However, because established methods of reasoning were predominantly verbal or empirical, symbolic notations and the visual thinking that they entailed necessarily challenged received ideas about how information ought to be represented and how knowledge ought to be discovered. Critics of the new notations argued that, at best, they amounted to a form of intellectual obscurantism that stymied rather than facilitated the circulation of knowledge. At worst, notations harbored disturbing implications for human ingenuity if the generation of new ideas truly could be reduced to the ranging and rearranging of symbols on a piece of paper. All told, “The Art of Signs” argues that early modern debates about the use and abuse of symbolic notations represent an underappreciated component of the epistemological ruptures that characterize the Scientific Revolution. Moreover, by recovering early modern understandings of symbolic notation, this dissertation demonstrates that a historical treatment of early modern semiotic thought can be leveraged to take a fresh look at perennial questions of representation that concern scholars across the humanities.

description: How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities.
      	In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals. I was also able to document the inconsistencies, problems and negotiations that the members of these entities encountered as they attempted to become successful musicians in the current global economic environment. This dissertation offers explicit details of how the rap musicians in the polities under study, were able to utilize their social networks in the process of commodifying their products for distribution in the hip-hop market place. I also tackle current academic discussions about how the rappers use digital technologies to assist them with this process. Engaging with concepts from economic anthropology, social mobility literature, political economy and globalization studies, the findings here demonstrate various entrepreneurial strategies utilized by rap musicians in this location.

description: Starting from the exact non-linear description of matter and radiation, a fully covariant and gauge-invariant formula for the observed temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CBR) radiation, expressed in terms of the electric ($E_{ab}$) and magnetic ($H_{ab}$) parts of the Weyl tensor, is obtained by integrating photon geodesics from last scattering to the point of observation today. This improves and extends earlier work by Russ et al where a similar formula was obtained by taking first order variations of the redshift. In the case of scalar (density) perturbations, $E_{ab}$ is related to the harmonic components of the gravitational potential $Φ_k$ and the usual dominant Sachs-Wolfe contribution $δT_R/\bar{T}_R\simΦ_k$ to the temperature anisotropy is recovered, together with contributions due to the time variation of the potential (Rees-Sciama effect), entropy and velocity perturbations at last scattering and a pressure suppression term important in low density universes. We also explicitly demonstrate the validity of assuming that the perturbations are adiabatic at decoupling and show that if the surface of last scattering is correctly placed and the background universe model is taken to be a flat dust dominated Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model (FRW), then the large scale temperature anisotropy can be interpreted as being due to the motion of the matter relative to the surface of constant temperature which defines the surface of last scattering on those scales.

Spectral Index Monitoring for Temporal Changes in Mining Areas
Creators: name: Acharya, Prabin

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Mining activities impact land cover, vegetation, and soil properties, which require effective monitoring approaches. The remote sensing technique offers a valuable tool for monitoring and analyzing temporal changes in mine sites in light of spectral indices. This study focuses on analyzing temporal changes in spectral indices at mine sites in Alberta, Canada, and the tailings dam failure site in Brumadinho, Brazil, using Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellite imagery. In this study, spectral indices, including the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), the Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), and the Modified NDWI (MNDWI) are derived using the Google Earth Engine (GEE). Trend analysis and change detection algorithms are employed to assess the spectral and temporal variations in these spectral indices. The results reveal the changes in vegetation health, water presence, and moisture in mining areas. This integrated approach supports effective monitoring and decision-making in the mining industry and provides quantitative guidance for the safe operation and closure of mine sites. The study advances remote sensing techniques for efficient mine site monitoring and has broader applications in environmental and geotechnical contexts. It contributes to sustainable mining practices and remote sensing advancements for environmental assessments in Canada and worldwide.

description: We analyse and improve the volume-penalty method, a simple and versatile way to model objects in fluid flows. The volume-penalty method is a kind of fictitious-domain method that approximates no-slip boundary conditions with rapid linear damping inside the object. The method can then simulate complex, moving objects in general numerical solvers without specialised algorithms or boundary-conforming grids. Volume penalisation pays for this simplicity by introducing an equation-level error, the $\textit{model error}$, that is related to the damping time $η\ll 1$. While the model error has been proven to vanish as the damping time tends to zero, previous work suggests convergence at a slow rate of $\mathcal{O}(η^{1/2})$. The stiffness of the damping implies conventional volume penalisation only achieves first order numerical accuracy. We analyse the volume-penalty method using multiple-scales matched-asymptotics with a signed-distance coordinate system valid for arbitrary smooth geometries. We show the dominant model error stems from a displacement length that is proportional to a Reynolds number $\text{Re}$ dependent boundary layer of size $\mathcal{O}(η^{1/2}\text{Re}^{-1/2})$. The relative size of the displacement length and damping time leads to multiple error regimes. Our key finding derives a simple smoothing prescription for the damping that eliminates the displacement length and reduces the model error to $\mathcal{O}(η)$ in all regimes. This translates to second order numerical accuracy. We validate our findings in several comprehensive benchmark problems and finally combine Richardson extrapolation of the model error with our correction to further improve convergence to $\mathcal{O}(η^{2})$.

description: This dissertation is an archaeology of so-called Weibersprache. While the concept of feminine language is typically associated with 1970s feminist theory, this study shows that there was a diverse history of conceptualizing “women’s language” prior to this period. I begin with seventeenth-century ethnographic texts that report on a langage des femmes among Island Caribs (by authors such as Jean Baptiste du Tertre, Charles de Rochefort, and Raymond Breton). Shifting genres, I then trace how the idea of a separate women’s language was appropriated by German philology and philosophies of language in the nineteenth century. I show how authors ranging from Wilhelm von Humboldt to Fritz Mauthner reconceptualize Weibersprache to be a universal female phenomenon and present “primitive” women’s languages as evidence for the general alterity of female speech. The second chapter of the dissertation juxtaposes this genealogy of Weibersprache with the nineteenth-century debate over the origin of grammatical gender, and contends that discourses on gendered language constitute an important part of the broader reconfiguration of the sexes during this period. The third chapter moves to literary discourse to show how the notion of women's language fulfills a different discursive function around 1900. With recourse to texts by Robert Musil (Vereinigungen, Drei Frauen), Hugo von Hofmannsthal (Furcht, Elektra), and Walter Benjamin (“Das Gespräch”), I demonstrate how Modernist writers use the idea of an alternative feminine language as a means to test the boundaries of their own literary genres. Once the concept of Weibersprache is reimagined in Modernist literature, it assumes a utopian dimension, which then becomes a central concern for French feminist theory. The fourth chapter offers new readings of feminist theories of language (Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva) by contrasting their focus on textuality with earlier conceptions of Weibersprache that link women’s language to orality. A genealogy of “women’s language” from “primitive” phenomenon to feminist politics in ethnography, philology, literature and theory, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary study of language, sex and gender.

description: Stars are powerful sources for weakly interacting particles that are produced by nuclear or plasma processes in their hot interior. These fluxes can be used for direct measurements (e.g. solar or supernova neutrinos) or the back-reaction on the star can be used to derive limits on new particles. We discuss two examples of current interest, the search for solar axions by the CAST experiment at CERN and stellar-evolution limits on the size of putative large extra dimensions.

description: It is easy to sum chain-free self-energy rainbows, to obtain contributions to anomalous dimensions. It is also easy to resum rainbow-free self-energy chains. Taming the combinatoric explosion of all possible nestings and chainings of a primitive self-energy divergence is a much more demanding problem. We solve it in terms of the coproduct $Δ$, antipode S, and grading operator Y of the Hopf algebra of undecorated rooted trees. The vital operator is $S\star Y$, with a star product effected by $Δ$. We perform 30-loop Padé-Borel resummation of 463 020 146 037 416 130 934 BPHZ subtractions in Yukawa theory, at spacetime dimension d=4, and in a trivalent scalar theory, at d=6, encountering residues of $S\star Y$ that involve primes with up to 60 digits. Even with a very large Yukawa coupling, g=30, the precision of resummation is remarkable; a 31-loop calculation suggests that it is of order $10^{-8}$.

The Association Between Access to Marriage Rights and the Well-Being of White Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals in the United States.

Subjects: Counseling psychology

description: The present study aimed to examine factors related to having access to marriage rights among same-sex couples (N = 221). Having access to, or being denied access to, marriage rights in participants' state of residence was the predictive variable of interest. Well-being, social support, gay-related stress and relationship satisfaction were factors of interest, with well-being the primary outcome variable of interest. While there has been a significant amount of research conducted over the past 15 years which has found discrimination against lesbians, gays and bisexuals [LGBs] to be prevalent (Herek & Sims, 2007; Meyer, 2003), and linked to a direct negative impact on LGBs psychological and physical well-being (Balsam, Rothblum & Beauchaine, 2005), little research has been done to examine the impact of institutional discrimination, such as marriage laws. This study utilized constructs measuring experiences of discrimination, couples' access to social support, relationship satisfaction, and overall well-being, as research has suggested that marriage impacts a couple's access to social support from family and larger community networks, which has been found to be associated with overall well-being and relationship satisfaction (Gove et al., 2005). This dissertation attempts to make a contribution to an emerging but primarily understudied area of research by providing insight into the experiences of same-sex couples. Primary hypotheses tested were whether access (or denial) to marriage rights impacts gay-related stress, relationship satisfaction, one's access to social support within their relationship, and how these variables are associated with one's overall well-being.
The Artist as Curator: Diego Velázquez, 1623-1660

description: “The Artist as Curator: Diego Velázquez, 1623-1660” reconsiders the career of Diego Velázquez at the court of Hapsburg king Philip IV as a major episode in the history of curatorial practice. By this it means to examine the ways Velázquez’s activities as a painter and his activities as curator of the Hapsburg art collection transformed each other. Velázquez’s paintings express ambitions and attitudes towards his predecessors that would motivate Velázquez’s reorganization of parts of the royal collection that included their works. In turn, the collection and display of paintings in royal exhibition sites would cultivate in Velázquez a knowledge of art and its history that would inform the paintings he produced at court. Velázquez was a singularly art-historical painter, many of whose works investigate the nature of art itself. This dissertation seeks to prove that these aspects of Velázquez’s work were cultivated in the early modern museum that was the Alcázar palace, where he was surrounded by a veritable history of art under the Hapsburgs. The dissertation has five chapters; each closely examines a significant project in Velázquez’s trajectory as artist-curator at the Hapsburg court. The first uses the first major installation that Velázquez would witness at the Hapsburg court to set up the problematic of the dissertation as a whole - namely, that meaning was made on the walls of galleries, and that if Velázquez was going to make his name at court, it would be by engaging the royal art collection as it appeared on gallery walls. The second investigates Velázquez’s first curatorial project, the redecoration of the Octagonal Room; it argued that Velázquez’s interest in art itself—an interest characteristic of his painting practice—found a new medium in his work as curator of this gallery. The third chapter reexamines The Rokeby Venus as a function of what Velázquez witnessed over the course of the assembly of the Vaults of Titian, where paintings of nudes were exhibited all together; it thus demonstrates the impact of the royal art collection and its display on his creative imagination as a painter. The fourth chapter considers the culminating curatorial project of Velázquez’s career—the redecoration of the Hall of Mirrors—in tandem with the suite of paintings he made for it—the painting cycle including Mercury and Argus, examining the ways that these two projects mutually informed one another. The final chapter proposes that Las Meninas again evidences Velázquez’s curatorial and painterly imaginations at work simultaneously; then it uses the painting as a point of entry into the reception of both of these aspects of Velázquez’s work at the Hapsburg court, arguing that to make art after Velázquez was to acknowledge both. All together, these chapters tell the story of Velázquez’s increasing engagement with the royal art collection, from the start of his career at the Hapsburg court through his legacy beyond it.

description: The goal of this paper is to experiment new math concepts and theories, especially if they run counter to the classical ones. To prove that contradiction is not a catastrophe, and to learn to handle it in an (un)usual way. To transform the apparently unscientific ideas into scientific ones, and to develop their study (The Theory of Imperfections). And finally, to interconnect opposite (and not only) human fields of knowledge into as-heterogeneous-as-possible other fields.

Bridge to Somewhere: The Value of Auckland’s Northern Motorway Extensions

description: We estimate benefits that have resulted from extensions to Auckland’s Northern Motorway since 1991. Population and employment rose substantially in locations near the new exits and to the north of the motorway extension, relative to developments elsewhere on the North Shore and in the broader Auckland Region. Land values also rose strongly near the new exits. Our approach to measuring net benefit uses changes in land values (after controlling for other factors) as a revealed preference indicator of value. We compare the estimated benefits with costs of the project to gain a measure of the project’s benefit:cost ratio (B:C). Our results indicate that the gross benefit of the extensions from Tristram Avenue to Orewa is at least $2.3 billion (2004 NZ$s) compared with the estimated extension costs (discounted to 2004) of $366 million, giving a B:C ratio of at least 6.3, which exceeds the standard ratio of 4.0 used to approve roading projects in New Zealand. Our estimates take account of the possibility of diminution in value occurring elsewhere near the existing Northern Motorway network, but not in other areas of Auckland or elsewhere in the country. Conversely, they do not include any benefits that may be impounded in commercial property values in the CBD (and elsewhere) arising from increased accessibility to an enlarged labour pool.

description: We consider the analytic continuation of the transfer function associated with a 2x2 operator matrix having unbounded couplings into unphysical sheets of its Riemann surface. We construct a family of non-selfadjoint operators which factorize the transfer function and reproduce certain parts of its spectrum including the nonreal (resonance) spectrum situated in the unphysical sheets neighboring the physical sheet.

description: Wenn ein Jurist einen Begriff wie "allgemein anerkannte Regeln der Technik" serviert bekommt, läuft ihm gewissermaßen das Wasser im Munde zusammen in der Vorfreude darauf, diesen Begriff zu definieren. So schwer es mir fällt, möchte ich dennoch, jedenfalls vorläufig, auf eine solche Definition verzichten, zumal solche Definitionen heute im Verlauf dieser Veranstaltung schon zur Sprache gekommen sind.
Den Schwerpunkt will ich auf den zweiten Teil des Themas setzen, auf die - praktische- Sicht des Richters. Dazu legitimiert mich meine Tätigkeit als Richter am Oberlandesgericht Celle, wo ich als Mitglied eines Zivilsenats zum erheblichen Teil mit Bausachen zu tun habe. Die allgemein anerkannten Regeln der Technik begegnen dem Richter natürlich auch in anderen Bereichen, insbesondere im Haftungsrecht und im Verwaltungsrecht. Bitte erlauben Sie mir aber, mich meiner praktischen Erfahrung entsprechend im wesentlichen auf das Bauvertragsrecht zu beschränken. Ich hoffe, daß trotz dieser Einschränkung die typisch richterliche Sichtweise deutlich wird.
