description: 9. Panicum cupressifolium A. Camus in Bull. Soc. Bot. France 72: 372. 1925 (Fig. 6A, 7).
Lectotypus (designated here): MADAGASCAR. Prov. Fianarantsoa: Andringitra massif, II.1921, Perrier de la Bâthie 14548 (P [P00224765]!; isolectotype: E!, EA!, G [G00022443], K [K000244691, K000244692, K000244693, K000244694, K000244695]!, MO!, P [P00224764, P00462677]!, PRE [PRE0031827 -0]!, S [S-G-4484] image seen, SI!, TAN!, US [US00147793, US00148388]!).

Woody perennial, much branched, the main stems lignified, to 50 cm tall, the culms and nodes glabrous. Leaf sheaths glabrous. Ligule absent. Leaf blades scale-like, ovate, flat, coriaceous, 0.05–0.3 × 0.05–0.2 cm, drying red-brown, imbricate, appressed, glabrous on both sides, often larger on the central stem. Spikelets terminal, rare and difficult to find, single at branch apices or rarely up to three together, nodding, elliptic, apically obtuse, c. 2.5 mm long, with poorly visible veins, whitish to purple, opening only partly. Lower glume c. ½ as long as the spikelet, chartaceous, apically obtuse, 3-veined, glabrous. Upper glume 3/4 as long as the spikelet, herbaceous, 3–5-veined, glabrous. Lower floret barren, with a reduced palea. Lower lemma herbaceous, 5-veined, glabrous. Upper lemma smooth, shiny, pale.
Distribution and ecology. – Endemic to Madagascar, restricted to high elevation and high soil moisture environments in the Andringitra massif, 2400–2700 m (Fig. 8A).
Notes. – Likely the most unusual of Madagascar’s grasses, P. cupressifolium does resemble a low stature conifer when forming monotypic stands on the plateau of Andringitra National Park. Leaf blades and leaf sheaths are reduced, while inflorescences are not readily visible as they are reduced to a single spikelet (or sometimes a group of up to three spikelets) at the culm apex.
The lectotype sheet has been chosen for its high quality material and an annotation in the author’s handwriting.

West Africa

description: Focusing on the novels Death in Beirut by Tawfiq Awwad and The Story of Zahra by Hanan al-Shaykh, the thesis explores the connections between Lebanon and West Africa, particularly Sierra Leone and Guinea, from the years preceding the Lebanese civil war to the present time. The novels are civil war narratives crisscrossed with Israeli invasions, threatened southern Lebanese borders, and diasporic Lebanese in Africa and their remittances. Although current news headlines are focused on terrorist threats posed by Lebanese diamond smuggling networks in Sierra Leone, the links between Lebanon and West Africa have a longer history. The initial waves of migration (1880s-1940) from Lebanon to West Africa established trading and merchant communities, with the direction of French colonial authority. Lebanese merchants during the first wave of migration entrenched themselves in the economies of West Africa and facilitated the later waves of immigration during the Lebanese civil war. Current articles depicting Africa as a composition of weak, “soft” states vulnerable to terrorist activity echo alarmist publications during the Cold War that identified Africa as fertile ground where “red weeds” can grow (specifically in a Time article). Stereotypes of the Lebanese in West Africa emerge in articles and human rights organization papers, which the two core Lebanese novels selected for the thesis explore

description: We consider quantum systems with causal dynamics in discrete spacetimes, also known as quantum cellular automata (QCA). Due to time-discreteness this type of dynamics is not characterized by a Hamiltonian but by a one-time-step unitary. This can be written as the exponential of a Hamiltonian but in a highly non-unique way. We ask if any of the Hamiltonians generating a QCA unitary is local in some sense, and we obtain two very different answers. On one hand, we present an example of QCA for which all generating Hamiltonians are fully non-local, in the sense that interactions do not decay with the distance. We expect this result to have relevant consequences for the classification of topological phases in Floquet systems, given that this relies on the effective Hamiltonian. On the other hand, we show that all one-dimensional quasi-free fermionic QCAs have quasi-local generating Hamiltonians, with interactions decaying exponentially in the massive case and algebraically in the critical case. We also prove that some integrable systems do not have local, quasi-local nor low-weight constants of motion; a result that challenges the standard definition of integrability.

title: Die Untertanen des Klosters Klein-Mariazell in Niederösterreich
Creators: name: Schoebitz, Helmut
Year: 2017

description: Die vorgelegte Arbeit behandelt die Lebenswelt der untertänigen Bevölke¬rung einer geistlichen Grundherrschaft im südwestlichen Niederösterreich im 17. Jahrhundert, genauer um die Besitzungen des ehemaligen Benediktinerklosters „Mariazell in Österreich“ – heute eher bekannt als „Klein-Mariazell“ – im Oberen Triestingtal (heute Gemeinde Altenmarkt an der Triesting, politischer Bezirk Baden). Die untersuchten Bevölkerungsgruppen sind einerseits die Gewerbetrei¬benden einer Marktgemeinde, andererseits die Bauernfamilien der umliegenden Dörfer. Zwar war die Anzahl von Menschen überschaubar und jeder kannte jeden, aber in sozialer Hinsicht äußerst heterogen und erfüllt von persönlichen Spannungen – keineswegs eine „heile Welt“. Meiner Analysen erfolgten vorwiegend durch Auswertung der derzeit im Niederösterreichischen Landesarchiv in St. Pölten aufbewahrten Herrschaftsakten, fall¬weise ergänzt durch Angaben aus Kirchenmatriken. Aus methodischen Gründen trenne ich scharf zwischen dem aus¬schließlich auf Primärquellen beruhenden Hauptteil und einigen für das allgemeine Verständnis nötigen Ein¬führungen und Erläuterungen (letztere sowohl in den Einleitungs¬kapiteln als auch in den Fußnoten). Wichtig war mir, die Quellen für sich sprechen zu lassen und Ansichten und Wertungen vor allem aus der Jetztzeit nicht in die Untersuchungen einfließen zu lassen. Ich möchte die historische, für uns sehr fremde Lebenswelt verstehen können, ohne diese vom heutigen Standpunkt aus beurteilen zu wollen. Zunächst waren die wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen zu untersuchen, weiters die politischen Verhältnisse (Obrigkeit – Selbstverwaltung – Familienstrukturen), das Gerichtswesen und schließlich die traditionelle Lebensweise dieser Menschen: Zeitrech¬nung, Arbeitsweisen, Zusammenleben, Nachbarschaft, Geburt und Kindheit, Sexualität, Ehe und Familie, Nahrung und Kleidung, Unterhaltung und Feste, und zuletzt noch Alter, Tod und Begräbnis. Zum gewöhnlichen Ablauf des Lebens kamen noch weitere Ereignisse: Kriege, feindliche Einfälle, Seuchenzüge, Unfälle und Verbrechen.

description: We introduce an experimentally accessible network representation for many-body quantum states based on entanglement between all pairs of its constituents. We illustrate the power of this representation by applying it to a paradigmatic spin chain model, the XX model, and showing that it brings to light new phenomena. The analysis of these entanglement networks reveals that the gradual establishment of quasi-long range order is accompanied by a symmetry regarding single-spin concurrence distributions, as well as by instabilities in the network topology. Moreover, we identify the existence of emergent entanglement structures, spatially localised communities enforced by the global symmetry of the system that can be revealed by model-agnostic community detection algorithms. The network representation further unveils the existence of structural classes and a cyclic self-similarity in the state, which we conjecture to be intimately linked to the community structure. Our results demonstrate that the use of tools and concepts from complex network theory enables the discovery, understanding, and description of new physical phenomena even in models studied for decades.
The Significance of Childhood in Wordsworth's Poetry

description: William Wordsworth, perhaps more than any other writer, is the poet of childhood, Even though, in a popular sense, he is not considered as a writer of verse for children, yet as a poet, who writes of children and who deals with the psychology of child, hood, he ranks supreme. All that Romanticism sought, Wordsworth looked for and discovered in the child. It was the child guided by its emotions, rather than the thoughtful child, that he watched; he studied the richness of its soul, and looked not at its frail body; the individual child, not the typical, drew his attention; he was interested in the concrete child whom he had met or with whom he had associated in childhood; and he studied those children who had a certain amount of freedom in contrast to those who were disciplined by mature minds.

The Common Origin of Multicellularity and Cancer: Lessons from the Fossil Record
Creators: name: Montagna, Daniela

Publisher: name: Organisms
Year: 2023

description: Despite the methodological limitations in the study of fossil record and some confusion in the literature about the diagnostic distinction between real neoplasia and other types of proliferation or even malformations in species very distant from mammals, paleopathological studies have revealed many cases of bona fide benign as well as malignant neoplasms in animals and land plants since Paleozoic Era onwards. Further, almost all types of modern neoplastic diseases have been documented in ancient Homo sapiens bone remains. It is worth to note that, despite the major changes in the structure of animal populations, the prevalence of malignant as well benign neoplasms has remained relatively constant (and in some cases it has even increased), among the different taxa of animals for hundred million years suggesting that malignancies as well as benign neoplasms are rooted quite deeply in the evolutionary life of organisms. This seemingly unremarkably fact represents a remarkable riddle for evolutionary biologists. If natural selection, working on living organisms has been powerful enough to produce complex adaptations, from the eye to the immune system, why has it been unable to eliminate or even reduce the incidence of cancer, even though many apparently less harmful traits have been eliminated during species evolution. Based on the fact that, both today and in the fossil record, cancer seems to occur in organs that have experienced a decline or loss of their regenerative ability we suggested that it may be an ultimate, even futile, reparative attempt. Therefore, the permanence of cancer by hundred million years might be understood if its existence is coupled to the normal regenerative mechanisms of the organisms without which no pluricellular organism could survive. This interpretation, encoded in the so-called hypothesis of the biological sense of cancer, was built within the broad framework of tissue organization field theory (TOFT) by assuming that cancer is primarily a disease of higher levels of organization, that is, an organismic, organ or tissue-based disease rather than a cellular one.

description: This paper is devoted to studies of non-negative, non-trivial (classical, punctured, or distributional) solutions to the higher order Hardy-Hénon equations \[ (-Δ)^m u = |x|^σu^p \] in $\mathbf R^n$ with $p > 1$. We show that the condition \[ n - 2m - \frac{2m+σ}{p-1} >0 \] is necessary for the existence of distributional solutions. For $n \geq 2m$ and $σ> -2m$, we prove that any distributional solution satisfies an integral equation and a weak super polyharmonic property. We establish some sufficient conditions for punctured or classical solution to be a distributional solution. As application, we show that if $n \geq 2m$ and $σ> -2m$, there is no non-negative, non-trivial, classical solution to the equation if \[ 1 < p < \frac{n+2m+2σ}{n-2m}. \] At last, we prove that for for $n > 2m$, $σ> -2m$ and $$p \geq \frac{n+2m+2σ}{n-2m},$$ there exist positive, radially symmetric, classical solutions to the equation.

description: Decision tree learning is a widely used approach in machine learning, favoured in applications that require concise and interpretable models. Heuristic methods are traditionally used to quickly produce models with reasonably high accuracy. A commonly criticised point, however, is that the resulting trees may not necessarily be the best representation of the data in terms of accuracy and size. In recent years, this motivated the development of optimal classification tree algorithms that globally optimise the decision tree in contrast to heuristic methods that perform a sequence of locally optimal decisions. We follow this line of work and provide a novel algorithm for learning optimal classification trees based on dynamic programming and search. Our algorithm supports constraints on the depth of the tree and number of nodes. The success of our approach is attributed to a series of specialised techniques that exploit properties unique to classification trees. Whereas algorithms for optimal classification trees have traditionally been plagued by high runtimes and limited scalability, we show in a detailed experimental study that our approach uses only a fraction of the time required by the state-of-the-art and can handle datasets with tens of thousands of instances, providing several orders of magnitude improvements and notably contributing towards the practical realisation of optimal decision trees.

Lectotypus (designated here): MADAGASCAR. Prov. Antsiranana: Mt. Tsaratanana, IV.1924, Perrier de la Bâthie 16163 (P [P00450264]!; isolectotype: P [P00450265]!).
Ascending wiry annual or perennial, rooting at lower nodes, 10–60 cm tall, the culms glabrous. Leaf sheaths glabrous or with ciliate edges. Ligule a lacerate ciliolate membrane. Leaf blades lanceolate, flat, reflexed at maturity, chartaceous, 1–2 × 0.2–0.4 cm, drying red-green, sparsely hirsute on both sides. Panicles terminal, fully exserted on a peduncle 5–8 cm long, 3–6 cm long, ovate, diffuse, the branching distichous or in threes, the branches divergent, wiry, with occasional white cilia, the pedicels 1.5–4 mm long. Spikelets ovate-elliptic, apically acute, 1.3–1.5 mm long, purple, never gaping open. Lower glume a nerveless vestige of variable shape. Upper glume as long as the spikelet, membranous, 3-veined, glabrous or with a few small trichomes, dehiscing early. Lower floret barren, without a significant palea. Lower lemma membranous, 3–5-veined, with minute trichomes between the veins or towards the apex. Upper lemma smooth, shiny, pale brown.
Distribution and ecology. – Restricted to Mount Tsaratanana, forest with lichen c. 2000 m (Fig. 8A).
Notes. – This species is likely a member of a group of closely related wet forest and montane species also including P. crystalinum, P. danguyi, P. manongarivense, and P. vohitrense (Malagasy regional endemics) as well as P. mitopus (Madagascar and East Africa). Species boundaries within this group remain unclear, particularly for P. flacourtii which is only known from two collections. If the open arrangement of the panicle is not a reliable character P. flacourtii could be conspecific with P. danguyi. Panicum flacourtii seems to occur in drier environments than other members of this group and can be distinguished by its open panicles with single spikelets, and purple to dark brown inflorescence branches and spikelets.
The lectotype is chosen for its superior flowering material.

description: Konnektoren verknüpfen zwei Sachverhalte miteinander und bestimmen, in welcher Beziehung diese Sachverhalte zueinander stehen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird quantitativ erhoben, wie Konnektoren innerhalb von wissenschaftlichen Texten verteilt sind. Hierzu wird einerseits eine textlinguistische Perspektive eingenommen, aus welcher das Vorkommen der Konnektoren in den Textteilen Einleitung, Hauptteil, Diskussion und Schluss von wissenschaftlichen Fachartikeln erfasst wird. Andererseits wird eine schreibkompetenzentwicklungsorientierte Perspektive eingenommen. Zu diesem Zwecke werden Bachelorarbeiten von Studierenden mit Deutsch als Fremd- oder Zweitsprache wissenschaftlichen Fachartikeln aus dem Fach Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege gegenübergestellt. Die zugrundeliegende Forschungsfrage lautet, ob signifikante Abweichungen im Gebrauch von Konnektoren sowohl zwischen den Textteilen der Fachartikel als auch im Vergleich der studentischen Texte mit den Expert_innentexten festzustellen sind. Die Untersuchung erfolgt exemplarisch an zwei zusammengestellten Korpora mit jeweils fünf Bachelorarbeiten bzw. Fachartikeln. Für die Erfassung und Auswertung ziehe ich die semantische Klassifikation nach dem Handbuch der deutschen Konnektoren (Breindl et al. 2014) heran und fasse weiters in Anlehnung an Czicza et al. (2012) bestimmte Konnektorenkategorien zu dem Cluster „Wissenschaftstypische Konnektoren“ zusammen. Mit diesem kann u.a. überprüft werden, ob der wissenschaftstypische Sprachgebrauch zwischen Textteilen bzw. zwischen den beiden Korpora differiert. Aus der Untersuchung wird tendenziell ersichtlich, dass Konnektoren, die in bestimmten Textteilen besonders konzentriert vorkommen, konstitutiv für die jeweilige kommunikative Funktion dieses Textteils wirken – so z.B. alternativebasierte Konnektoren in der Diskussion. Des Weiteren zeigt sich in den Bachelorarbeiten insgesamt eine höhere Konnektorenfrequenz als in den Fachartikeln, allerdings eine deutlich abweichende Verteilung der Konnektoren. Die Gründe werden hier einerseits in der mangelhaften Sprachkompetenz hinsichtlich des korrekten semantischen Gebrauchs von Konnektoren vermutet, andererseits in der sich durch Sprachimitation äußernden, noch nicht ausgeprägten Text(sorten)kompetenz – zu deren Vermittlung die vorliegende Untersuchung einen Beitrag leistet.

description: Despite significant advances in image-to-image (I2I) translation with generative adversarial networks (GANs), it remains challenging to effectively translate an image to a set of diverse images in multiple target domains using a single pair of generator and discriminator. Existing I2I translation methods adopt multiple domain-specific content encoders for different domains, where each domain-specific content encoder is trained with images from the same domain only. Nevertheless, we argue that the content (domain-invariance) features should be learned from images among all of the domains. Consequently, each domain-specific content encoder of existing schemes fails to extract the domain-invariant features efficiently. To address this issue, we present a flexible and general SoloGAN model for efficient multimodal I2I translation among multiple domains with unpaired data. In contrast to existing methods, the SoloGAN algorithm uses a single projection discriminator with an additional auxiliary classifier and shares the encoder and generator for all domains. Consequently, the SoloGAN can be trained effectively with images from all domains such that the domain-invariance content representation can be efficiently extracted. Qualitative and quantitative results over a wide range of datasets against several counterparts and variants of the SoloGAN demonstrate the merits of the method, especially for challenging I2I translation datasets, i.e., datasets involving extreme shape variations or need to keep the complex backgrounds unchanged after translations. Furthermore, we demonstrate the contribution of each component in SoloGAN by ablation studies.

On the Northern side no more interesting character came into prominence than Major-General George Brinton McClellan, commanding the Army of the Potomac. It is undoubtedly true that not one of the commanders on either side was so heartily loved by the men in the ranks and at the same time so generally cursed by public opinion as was he. His conduct of the Peninsular Campaign in 1863 and the failure to take Richmond have for long been the subject of controversy. Historians through the years have been generous in their criticism and, whether rightly or wrongly, an unfriendly picture of the man has become somewhat traditional. Many years have passed, however, since those eventful months and time has served to calm the passions of civil strife. Within recent years new materials have become available which make a new study worthwhile. Obviously no interpretation can be made that will be satisfactory to all, but certainly it is possible today to study the period and write much more disproportionately than in earlier years. It is hoped that the story which follows will add somewhat to our knowledge of MCClellan and throw additional light on men and events of Civil War times.

description: Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are characterized by the emission of a short burst of high-energy radiation. We analyze the cumulative impact of TDEs on galactic habitability using the Milky Way as a proxy. We show that X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation emitted during TDEs can cause hydrodynamic escape and instigate biological damage. By taking the appropriate variables into consideration, such as the efficiency of atmospheric escape and distance from the Galactic center, we demonstrate that the impact of TDEs on galactic habitability is comparable to that of Active Galactic Nuclei. In particular, we show that planets within distances of $\sim 0.1$-$1$ kpc could lose Earth-like atmospheres over the age of the Earth, and that some of them might be subject to biological damage once every $\gtrsim 10^4$ yrs. We conclude by highlighting potential ramifications of TDEs and argue that they should be factored into future analyses of inner galactic habitability.

description: Higgs Bosons produced via gluon-gluon fusion (ggF) with large transverse momentum ($p_T$) are sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. However, high $p_T$ Higgs Boson production is contaminated by a diversity of production modes other than ggF: vector boson fusion, production of a Higgs boson in association with a vector boson, and production of a Higgs boson with a top-quark pair. Combining jet substructure and event information with modern machine learning, we demonstrate the ability to focus on particular production modes. These tools hold great discovery potential for boosted Higgs bosons produced via ggF and may also provide additional information about the Higgs Boson sector of the Standard Model in extreme phase space regions for other production modes as well.

title: Körperliche Selbstoptimierung zwischen Freizeit und Arbeit
Creators: name: Koschi, Melanie
Year: 2017

description: Immer mehr Personen setzen sich mit ihrem Körper auseinander und opfern ihre Zeit und ihr Geld in die Optimierung ihres Körpers und des äußeren Erscheinungsbildes, um das Ideal eines perfekten Körpers zu erreichen. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem zunehmenden Trend der körperlichen Selbstoptimierung und geht der Frage nach, wie und aus welchen Motiven sich die Studierenden optimieren. Darüber hinaus wird untersucht, in welchen Kontexten beruflicher oder privater Natur die Optimierung stattfindet. Um die Forschungsfrage beantworten zu können, werden Leitfadeninterviews mit Studierenden unterschiedlicher Studienrichtungen geführt. Die Interviews werden nach der Inhaltsanalyse nach Ritchie und Lewis ausgewertet, indem sie in Kategorien eingeteilt werden. Im Anschluss daran werden die Ergebnisse mit den Theorien verbunden und interpretiert. Dadurch soll das Optimierungsverhalten der Studierenden herausgearbeitet werden.
description: More and more people pay attention to their bodies and are willing to spend a lot of time and money for body modification in order to achieve a perfect appearance. This thesis makes a scientific investigation about this increasing trend and look into the question, how and what are the reasons of the students, to follow the trend? It also examines, in which contexts of professional or private nature the body modification takes place. In order to be able to answer the research question, guideline-based interviews with the students from different fields of study are conducted. The interviews are evaluated according to the method of qualitative-oriented content analysis according to Ritchie and Lewis, in which they are divided into different categories. Finally, the results of the analyse are compared with the theories and interpreted. This is the way, how the body modification behaviour of students is to be worked out.

description: Cosmic (hydrogen) reionization marks one of the major phase transitions of the universe at redshift z >= 6. During this epoch, hydrogen atoms in the intergalactic medium (IGM) were ionized by Lyman continuum (LyC) photons. However, it remains challenging to identify the major sources of the LyC photons responsible for reionization. In particular, individual contributions of quasars (or active galactic nuclei, AGNs) and galaxies are still under debate. Here we construct the far-ultraviolet (far-UV) luminosity function for type 1 quasars at z >= 6 that spans 10 magnitudes (-19 < M_UV < -29), conclusively showing that quasars made a negligible contribution to reionization. We mainly search for quasars in the low-luminosity range of M_UV > -23 mag that is critical to determine quasars' total LyC photon production but has been barely explored previously. We find that the quasar population can only provide less than 7% (95% confidence level) of the total photons needed to keep the universe ionized at z = 6.0 - 6.6. Our result suggests that galaxies, presumably low-luminosity star-forming systems, are the major sources of hydrogen reionization.
