description: This article addresses the scale of wartime population displacement in continental Europe, the relief efforts made on behalf of refugees, their impact on host communities, and the cultural representation of refugees. It discusses the political issues raised by the suddenness and ubiquity of the refugee crisis, and the devolution of responsibilities on to local authorities and private organisations. Of particular significance is the fact that mass displacement allowed patriotic elites to construe relief in national terms and to proselytise among a captive audience. The article concludes with observations about the broader ramifications of the wartime refugee crisis.

description: New two-dimensional quantum model - the generalization of the Scarf II - is completely solved analytically for the integer values of parameter. This model being not amenable to conventional procedure of separation of variables is solved by recently proposed method of supersymmetrical separation. The latter is based on two constituents of SUSY Quantum Mechanics: the intertwining relations with second order supercharges and the property of shape invariance. As a result, all energies of bound states were found, and the analytical expressions for corresponding wave functions were obtained.

Link scheduling directed graphs using undirected edge colours
Creators: name: D'Oliveira, Kyle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Communication in a wireless network is typically modeled as either a directed or an undirected communication graph. Link scheduling is the problem of assigning time slots to each edge so that communication on every edge at its assigned time may occur without interference. Interference is also modeled as a graph, typically the same as the communication graph. However, interference may occur even without the desire or possibility of communication and warrants its own graph. When link scheduling directed graphs, Packet Radio Network (PRN)-colouring is used to create a link schedule. When modeled as an undirected graph, strong edge colouring is typically used to create a link schedule. Both PRN and strong edge colouring have been shown to be NP-complete. In this thesis, two new types of undirected edge colourings are analyzed: Acyclic Colour Induced (ACI) and Even Cycle Parity Colour Induced (ECPCI) edge colouring. Both ACI and ECPCI edge colouring are less restrictive than strong edge colouring in the sense that a strong edge colouring provides both an ACI and an ECPCI edge colouring; in fact, it is possible to use significantly fewer colours. Further, there is a translation that will take an ACI or an ECPCI edge colouring of an undirected graph and transform it into a directed PRN-colouring of the corresponding symmetric directed graph.These two new types of edge colourings are shown to be NP-complete. Lower bounds for ACI and ECPCI edge colouring planar graphs are analyzed. It is shown that there exists planar graphs with maximum degree Δ that require 33Δ/16 (respectively 2Δ+1) colours in an ACI (respectively ECPCI) edge colouring. Also, algorithms are given for strong, ACI, and ECPCI edge colouring that take into account a communication graph that is a subgraph of the interference graph. Using these algorithms, a link schedule using PRN-colouring on directed communication and interference graphs can be created that is an Ο(1) and Ο(\sqrt{\gamma}) approximation for planar and general graphs with genus γ≥1 respectively. The approximation algorithm given improves the best known upper bound for link scheduling planar graphs.

description: This paper describes a method for evaluating interannotator reliability in an email corpus annotated for type (e.g., question, answer, social chat) when annotators are allowed to assign multiple labels to a message. An augmentation is proposed to Cohen's kappa statistic which permits all data to be included in the reliability measure and which further permits the identification of more or less reliably annotated data points.

title: Studies on the fabrication and contact stiffness of mechanical interfaces with tailored rough and structured surfaces
Creators: name: Perris, Jack Alan Nathaniel
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: Contact stiffness is a measure of how interface separation displacement will respond to an applied load. Contact stiffness is most directly affected by interface geometry, material properties, and external factors such as loading, lubrication etc. Surface geometry is often considered in terms of roughness, the asperities that make up a surface and the compliance they introduce to an interface. The compliance or contact stiffness of an interface has an inherent contribution to how mechanical systems operate. This becomes critically important to engineering design where performance is directly linked to interfacial properties, through individual components or a systemic effect – vibrational response machines, biomedical joints, frictional contacts in turbine and engines. If an engineer can control the contact stiffness of an interface, then there is an opportunity to manipulate the performance of a design to suit the needs of the user. The work in this thesis explores the viability of creating both controlled, tailored, and repeatable pre-defined microstructured and rough surface topographies. The first half of the work involved the development of a novel fabrication technique that combines microfabrication techniques and manufacturing technologies to generate microstructured topographies in functional polymers with the aim of controlling contact stiffness. The designs were initially modelled in finite element software before manufacture and mechanical testing. The microstructured interfaces yielded promising results that indicate high repeatability and tailoring of contact stiffness to the users’ defined characteristics. The second half introduces the concept of manipulating numerically generated rough surface topographies to be produced in various polymers, again aiming to control contact stiffness. The numerically generated topographies were 3D printed before being replicated in various polymer materials through injection moulding and polymer casting, and finally mechanically tested. The results display a high level of control of surface characteristics which can be translated into the rough surface interfaces. The designs can then be manipulated to achieve the desired contact stiffness properties in a repeatable and tailored fashion. All areas of the work presented in this thesis have the potential to further tribological knowledge and future applications in a wide range of engineering fields.

description: The about 600 Islamic manuscripts which entered Columbia Libraries between 1890 and 1960 form one of the lesser known U.S. collections.4 Its relative obscurity reflects that Columbia Libraries ceased to actively acquire manuscripts in Arabic script, once the university had reorganized its Semitic and Indo-Iranian Studies departments as Area Studies programs, which were increasingly oriented towards the Social Sciences. I will use this collection, which is quite modest if compared to the collections of more than 10,000 Islamic manuscripts in the libraries of Princeton and UCLA, to explore the interdependence between the emergence of Near Eastern Studies in North America, collection development in Columbia Libraries, and book trade in the Muslim Near East. Because the oldest layer of this collection was established at the end of the nineteenth century, during the last phase of the Islamic manuscript tradition, the collection reflects how the manuscript-to-print transition impacted the book trade. After 1850 large-scale commercial publishing houses began to dominate the Islamic book production in the Near East and India, so that the interplay between indigenous book production and book trade also determined the format in which Islamic books circulated in Europe and North America. Not all known and popular texts were immediately available in both formats so that a collector could not always choose between a manuscript copy and a printed book published in the Near East or India. Although a collector could only be more selective whenever texts were available in more than one format, different formats were never traded equally. A future in-depth analysis of this collection promises to provide evidence for the intellectual and cultural history of the Near East, while shedding new light on the history of Near Eastern Studies in North America.

description: We find the spectrum and wave functions of the heavy-light mesons in $(1 + 1)$-dimensional QCD in the 't Hooft limit, both in the rest frame, using the Coulomb (axial) gauge, and on the light cone. Our emphasis is on the effects of chiral symmetry breaking on the spectrum. While dynamical equations in both cases look different, the results for the spectrum are identical. The chiral symmetry breaking is clearly seen from the gap and Bethe--Salpeter equations in the laboratory frame. At the same time, while vacuum is trivial on the light cone (no chiral condensate), the effects of the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetry manifest themselves in the same way, as it follows from the coincidence of the spectra obtained from the laboratory-frame Bethe--Salpeter equation on the one hand, and the light-cone 't Hooft-type equation on the other.

description: In the last decades many authors have become interested in the study of multilinear and polynomial generalizations of families of operator ideals (such as, for instance, the ideal of absolutely summing operators). However, these generalizations must keep the essence of the given operator ideal and there seems not to be a universal method to achieve this. The main task of this paper is to discuss, study, and introduce multilinear and polynomial extensions of the aforementioned operator ideals taking into account the already existing methods of evaluating the adequacy of such generalizations. Besides this subject's intrinsic mathematical interest, the main motivation is our belief (based on facts that shall be presented) that some of the already existing approaches are not adequate.

description: Syzygium caryophyllatum is an underutilized minor fruit tree that bears globular fruits. When they ripen, they turn a deep purple or black colour. Even though the fruits are edible, consumption is low due to the low proportion of edible parts and limited supply of fruits. In the present study, twenty collections of S. caryophyllatum from various parts of Kerala State, India, were evaluated based on morphological (qualitative and quantitative), and biochemical traits of fruits. The findings revealed a wide range of variation among the collections. Among the selected candidate plus trees (CPTs), one CPT, SC3, appeared as a distinct candidate from all other collections in the dendrogram based on quantitative and biochemical traits. The grouping pattern in cluster analysis results was supported by a scatter plot based on Principal coordinate Analysis (PCoA). Various fruit traits of SC3 showed superiority and thus this tree was selected as the most promising among 20 CPTs with maximum pulp percentage, pulp-to-seed ratio, TSS, anthocyanins, ascorbic acid, total sugar, and minimum seed percentage. The nutritional profiling of SC3 fruit showed a vital source of nutritious elements with antinutrient concentrations falling within the acceptable range.
Error estimates for a finite difference approximation of mean curvature flow for surfaces of torus type

description: Subject of this work is the geometric evolution equation called mean curvature ﬂow. It evolves a surface pointwise into the direction of its normal with a velocity that is given by the mean curvature at that point. We restrict our attention to surfaces inof torus type. The aim is to approximate a reparametrized version of the ﬂow and derive error estimates for the fully discrete problem. Our strategy is to apply a variant of the well-known DeTurck trick for the reparametrization. The generated evolution equation depends on a parameter α that determines a tangential velocity. Using a ﬁnite diﬀerence method, we discretize this ﬂow and derive a family of semi-implicit fully discrete approximations. In the convergence proof we obtain optimal-order error bounds in discrete analogs to diﬀerent Sobolev norms like a discrete H2-norm as well as a discrete L∞-norm. This analysis is complemented with a numerical simulation of the approximated ﬂow. We compute the experimental order of convergence to support the theoretical results and provide an illustration of the inﬂuence of α on the approxi-mation.
description: Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist der Mean Curvature Flow. Diese geometrische Evolu-tionsgleichung bewegt eine Fläche punktweise in Richtung ihrer Normalen mit einer Geschwindigkeit, die gleich der mittleren Krümmung in diesem Punkt ist. Wir beschrän- ken uns auf Flächen im R3 vom Typ des Torus. Das Ziel ist, eine Umparametrisierung des Flusses zu approximieren und Fehlerabschätzungen für das vollständig diskrete Problem herzuleiten. Die Vorgehensweise besteht dabei darin, eine Variante des bekan-nten DeTurck Tricks für die Umparamterisierung anzuwenden. Dies führt auf eine Evolutionsgleichung, welche von einem Parameter α abhängt und eine durch diesen Parameter bestimmte Geschwindigkeit in tangentialer Richtung besitzt. Der modi-ﬁzierte Fluss wird mittels einer Finite-Diﬀerenzen-Methode diskretisiert und somit eine Familie von semi-impliziten, vollständig diskreten Approximationen erzeugt. Der Kon-vergenzbeweis liefert Fehlerschranken optimaler Ordnung in verschiedenen diskreten Normen, welche als Analogon von Sobolev-Normen wie der H2- und der L∞-Norm betrachtet werden können. Die Analyse wird durch eine numerische Simulation des Flusses ergänzt. Wir berechnen zum einen die experimentelle Konvergenzordnung, um die theoretischen Ergebnisse zu stützen, zum anderen illustrieren wir den Einﬂuss von α auf die Approximation.
Fear is no longer just a factor: Fearism as a new force-field vector in social science research

Subjects: force-field analysis, fearism, fear, transdisciplinary, human behavior analysis

description: There’s something gone stale with the common rhetoric around our species’ understanding of fear (and ‘fear’). We require a 21st-century radical up-grade of our critical literacy and fear management capacities on this domain of existence. A fresh idea about fear(ism) or fearism that emerged in the early 1990s (Fisher) and late 1990s (Subba) is pushing researchers to revision their ways of seeing how fear is not merely a factor in human affairs—rather, it is a potent means for sociological measure and typologies for human behavior. Fear is now, in the form of fearism, a force-field vector, which is beginning to be used in some latest innovative social research. This raises the bar in the evolutionary development of methodologies of knowledge. Fearism, with this new application, and further transdisciplinary applications ought to carry the world into a better understanding of the phenomenon of fear(ism). The purpose of such improvement in our critical literacy is to emancipate ourselves from the excessive domination of a culture of fear based in toxic fearism (or, what the author recently calls fearism-t).

description: The Clausius relation between entropy change and heat flux has previously been used to derive Einstein's field equations as an equation of state. In that derivation the entropy is proportional to the area of a local causal horizon, and the heat is the energy flux across the horizon, defined relative to an approximate boost Killing vector. We examine here whether a similar derivation can be given for extensions beyond Einstein gravity to include higher derivative and higher curvature terms. We review previous proposals which, in our opinion, are problematic or incomplete. Refining one of these, we assume that the horizon entropy depends on an approximate local Killing vector in a way that mimics the diffeomorphism Noether charge that yields the entropy of a stationary black hole. We show how this can be made to work if various restrictions are imposed on the nature of the horizon slices and the approximate Killing vector. Also, an integrability condition on the assumed horizon entropy density must hold. This can yield field equations of a Lagrangian constructed algebraically from the metric and Riemann tensor, but appears unlikely to allow for derivatives of curvature in the Lagrangian.

description: A seasoned educator (curriculum theorist) and researcher, the author picks-up on the recent innovative gains made in the social sciences with the valid use of “fearism” as a concept for analysis, with the latest version being the use of fearism as a force-field vector on a quadrant mapping of social reality. This paper has three main purposes: (a) to review the citing of “fearism” in the Education literature per se and a critical evaluation of its rare use to date (b) to make suggestions of why this paucity of use by educators and, (c) to offer a more matured version of the placing of fearism as a force-field vector on a quadrant mapping that produces a ‘ring’ formation which includes a heretofore missing developmental and emancipatory trajectory within such analyses without reinforcing unnecessary moralism (e.g. virtues signaling) within such research approaches.
Dynamic facial appearance capture using six primaries
Creators: name: Mahmud, Anika
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Facial appearance changes as people talk, move and, change expression. The key indication of this change is the skin color. In current appearance models skin color is reconstructed by considering the scattering and absorption of light within skin layers caused by melanin and hemoglobin in a three dimensional color space. Capturing dynamic facial appearance requires capturing both the temporal deformation of facial geometry and the temporal change of skin color by measuring the hemoglobin concentration change. Existing passive multi-stereo capture systems can capture high resolution temporal facial geometry. Integrating skin appearance capture with the existing passive capture system is challenging because to capture facial appearance the system requires precise color calibration and cross polarization, which are inheritably not required in a facial capture system. Integrating them in the existing system requires expensive hardware and constrained capture setup. In this thesis we present a novel method that can capture dynamic facial appearance without changing the existing passive capture system. We use a six dimensional color space to reconstruct the skin color, which can be adapted easily to any existing capture pipeline.
Determining the cycle structure of permutation polynomials of shape x t + γTr (x k)

description: In this thesis we study the cycle structure of permutation polynomials. They play an important role in many applications of finite fields. Of particular note are combinatorial design theory, cryptography and coding theory. An important application of permutation polynomials with known cycle structure in coding theory is their use as parts of turbo codes. In this context we want the permutations to be given as polynomials, because this reduces the implementation cost. But we also want to know their cycle structures, because they give us important algebraic and combinatorial properties of the permutations, which strongly in uence the performance of the final code. Currently we know the cycle structure only for a few simple classes of permutation polynomials. These are monomials, Dickson and linearized polynomials. We give a survey of these results. None of these classes make full use of the structure of a finite field and mainly depend on either the multiplicative or additive group of the field. We focus on permutation polynomials of shape Xt+ Trqn=q(Xk) 2 Fqn[X], where 2 Fqn and 1 t; k qn-1. In contrast to those classes, for which the cycle structure is already known, these depend on both the additive and multiplicative structure of a finite field, but still have a nice algebraic form. Permutation polynomials of this shape were first considered in 2008 by Charpin and Kyureghyan [5] for q = 2, where a complete classification was given. We show, that polynomials of shape Xt+ f(X), where f : Fqn -> Fq, can only be permutations if gcd(t; qn - 1) = 1. In this case Xt is also a permutation, so for classification purposes it suffces to consider t = 1. In recent years Kyureghyan and Zieve [11], Ma and Ge [16] and Li, Qu, Chen, and Li [13] have constructed 24 infinite families of permutation polynomials of shape X + Trqn=q(Xk). We give the number of fixed points for all of these permutations. Further we show that permutation polynomials of shape X + f(X), where f : Fqn -> Fq, are precisely those that also permute any line + Fq, 2 Fqn. We give a condition on f, under which certain of these induced permutations on lines have the same cycle structure. All 17 of the 24 infinite families, where n is fixed to 2 or 3 satisfy this condition. In particular, if n = 2, which holds for 15 of them, this allows us to ascertain the cycle structure by determining it on Fq and any one other line + Fq. The cycle structure on Fq can be found easily, but getting the cycle structure on one of the other lines is still a very difficult problem. We solve it for two families completely and for one family in a special case.

description: Bei älteren Menschen und bei altersbedingten Krankheiten kommt es im Körper zu einer abnormalen Anreicherung von Dicarbonyl-Verbindungen, was als Dicarbonyl-Stress bezeichnet wird. Gleichzeitig ist die Funktion von verschiedenen Immunzellen eingeschränkt. In dieser Arbeit konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich Dicarbonyl-Verbindungen negativ auf die Funktion von natürlichen Killer-Zellen (NK-Zellen) auswirken können. Dies betraf sowohl die Fähigkeit Konjugate mit Tumorzellen zu bilden als auch die anschließende Lyse der Tumorzellen. Des Weiteren führte eine Inkubation von Tumorzellen mit Dicarbonyl-Verbindungen zu einer verringerten Lyse durch NK-Zellen. Dicarbonyl-Stress stellt somit einen möglichen Grund für die reduzierte NK-Zell-Aktivität im Alter und bei altersbedingten Erkrankungen dar. Außerdem wurde die Expression der Sialyltransferasen in NK-Zellen untersucht. Eine Inkubation mit Dicarbonyl-Verbindungen führte zu einer reduzierten Expression der α2,8-Sialyltransferasen, weshalb eine reduzierte Menge von α2,8-verknüpften Sialinsäuren möglicherweise als Marker für Dicarbonyl-Stress in NK-Zellen fungieren könnte.
description: During aging and in age-related diseases the amount of dicarbonyl compounds is abnormally increased, which causes dicarbonyl stress. Moreover, aging and age-related diseases lead to a reduced function of different immune cells. In this thesis, it could be shown that an incubation of natural killer (NK) cells with dicarbonyl compounds led to a reduced NK cell function. The binding to tumor targets as well as the lytic activity of NK cells was reduced. In addition, incubation of tumor cells with dicarbonyl compounds also interfered with their lysis by NK cells. Therefore, the high levels of dicarbonyls might be one of the reasons for the reduced NK cell activity in older people and in age-related diseases. In the second part of this thesis, it was investigated which sialyltransferases are expressed in NK cells. Dicarbonyl stress led to a downregulation of the α2,8-sialyltransferases. Therefore, a reduced formation of α2,8-linked sialic acids might be used as a marker to identify NK cells which have undergone dicarbonyl stress.

description: Multi Higgs doublet models are interesting extensions of the Standard Model that can be related to flavor. The reason is that most flavor models usually involve the presence of several additional scalar fields. In this work we present an analysis that shows that for renormalizable flavor models based on the cyclic group of order $N$, if there is one flavored SU(2) double Higgs per generation, the smallest $N$ that can be used to reproduce the Nearest-Neighbor-Interaction texture for the quark mass matrices is N=5. Results for the Higgs spectrum and consistency under $K - \bar{K}$ mixing in a specific model with $Z_5$ are also presented.

description: We present a methodology for designing and implementing interactive intelligences. The constructionist design methodology (CDM)—so called because it advocates modular building blocks and incorporation of prior work—addresses factors that we see as key to future advances in AI, including support for interdisciplinary collaboration, coordination of teams, and large-scale systems integration. We test the methodology by building an interactive multifunctional system with a real-time perception-action loop. The system, whose construction relied entirely on the methodology, consists of an embodied virtual agent that can perceive both real and virtual objects in an augmented-reality room and interact with a user through coordinated gestures and speech. Wireless tracking technologies give the agent awareness of the environment and the user’s speech and communicative acts. User and agent can communicate about things in the environment, their placement, and their function, as well as about more abstract topics, such as current news, through situated multimodal dialogue. The results demonstrate the CDM’s strength in simplifying the modeling of complex, multifunctional systems that require architectural experimentation and exploration of unclear subsystem boundaries, undefined variables, and tangled data flow and control hierarchies.

description: Urban social–ecological–technological systems (SETS) are dynamic and respond to climate pressures. Change involves alterations to land and resource management, social organization, infrastructure, and design. Research often focuses on how climate change impacts urban SETS or on the characteristics of urban SETS that promote climate resilience. Yet passive approaches to urban climate change adaptation may disregard active SETS change by urban residents, planners, and policymakers that could be opportunities for adaptation. Here, we use evidence of urban social, ecological, and technological change to address how SETS change opens windows of opportunity to improve climate change adaptation.
Binary Disruption by Massive Black Holes: Hypervelocity Stars, S Stars, and Tidal Disruption Events

description: We examine whether disrupted binary stars can fuel black hole growth. In this mechanism, tidal disruption produces a single hypervelocity star (HVS) ejected at high velocity and a former companion star bound to the black hole. After a cluster of bound stars forms, orbital diffusion allows the black hole to accrete stars by tidal disruption at a rate comparable to the capture rate. In the Milky Way, HVSs and the S star cluster imply similar rates of 10^{-5}--10^{-3} yr^{-1} for binary disruption. These rates are consistent with estimates for the tidal disruption rate in nearby galaxies and imply significant black hole growth from disrupted binaries on 10 Gyr time scales.

Nonmonotonic size dependence of the critical concentration in 2D percolation of straight rigid rods under equilibrium conditions

description: Numerical simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the percolation behavior of straight rigid rods of length $k$ ($k$-mers) on two-dimensional square lattices. The $k$-mers, containing $k$ identical units (each one occupying a lattice site), were adsorbed at equilibrium on the lattice. The process was monitored by following the probability $R_{L,k}(θ)$ that a lattice composed of $L \times L$ sites percolates at a concentration $θ$ of sites occupied by particles of size $k$. A nonmonotonic size dependence was observed for the percolation threshold, which decreases for small particles sizes, goes through a minimum, and finally asymptotically converges towards a definite value for large segments. This striking behavior has been interpreted as a consequence of the isotropic-nematic phase transition occurring in the system for large values of $k$. Finally, the universality class of the model was found to be the same as for the random percolation model.

description: Diese Arbeit umfasst Methoden für die computergestützte Auswertung von Massenspektrometriedaten mithilfe derer die Identifikation von niedermolekularen Substanzen verbessert wird. Hierfür wird die kombinatorische Fragmentierung durch die Kombination von unterschiedlichen Strategien und Informationsquellen erweitert. Die entwickelten Ansätze ermöglichen die Einbindung von Daten verschiedener experimenteller Methoden, wie zum Beispiel dem Wasserstoff-Deuterium-Austausch. Diese zusätzlichen Informationen helfen, die Anzahl der korrekt identifizierten Moleküle zu erhöhen. Zudem werden statistische Methoden verwendet, um Substrukturannotationen zu lernen und die Identifikationleistung bestehender computergestützter Methoden zu übertreffen. Daher präsentieren wir eine automatisierte Pipeline, die bereits in verschiedenen Softwareanwendungen, sowie zahlreichen Metabolomik- und Umweltstudien zum Einsatz kam, um die Identifikation von niedermolekularen Substanzen zu unterstützen.
description: In this thesis, we develop methods for computational mass spectrometry to improve the identification of small molecules based on tandem mass spectra. Therefore, we combine different strategies and information sources to extend combinatorial fragmentation for the evaluation of molecular candidates. The developed algorithmic methods enable the usage of data from additional experiments, such as hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry. Thus, the included information show an increase in the number of correctly identified molecules. Furthermore, statistical methods used to learn substructure annotations from reference spectra help to outperform existing computational methods. We present a new and refactored automated pipeline, initially known as MetFrag, that have been successfully applied in various software solutions and studies to support the identification of small molecules in metabolomics and environmental research.

description: Gene clusters rich in carbohydrate-active enzymes within Flavobacteriia genera provide a competitiveness for their hosts to degrade diatom-derived polysaccharides. One such widely distributed polysaccharide is glucuronomannan, a main cell wall component of diatoms. A conserved gene cluster putatively degrading glucuronomannan was found previously among various flavobacterial taxa in marine metagenomes. Here, we aimed to visualize two glycoside hydrolase family 92 genes coding for α-mannosidases with fluorescently-labeled polynucleotide probes using direct-geneFISH. Reliable in situ localization of single-copy genes was achieved with an efficiency up to 74% not only in the flavobacterial strains Polaribacter Hel1_33_49 and Formosa Hel1_33_131 but also in planktonic samples from the North Sea. In combination with high-resolution microscopy, direct-geneFISH gave visual evidence of the contrasting lifestyles of closely related Polaribacter species in those samples and allowed for the determination of gene distribution among attached and free-living cells. We also detected highly similar GH92 genes in yet unidentified taxa by broadening probe specificities, enabling a visualization of the functional trait in subpopulations across the borders of species and genera. Such a quantitative insight into the niche separation of flavobacterial taxa complements our understanding of the ecology of polysaccharide-degrading bacteria beyond omics-based techniques on a single-cell level.
