Creators: name: Winkelbauer, Sandra
Year: 2012

description: Im theoretischen Teil der Diplomarbeit werden die Mehrsprachigkeitsforschung und das Konzept Language Awareness vorgestellt, sowie die Konzeptualisierung von Mehrsprachigkeitsbewusstheit vorgenommen. Das Kapitel zur Mehrsprachigkeitsforschung beschäftigt sich zunächst mit der Schwierigkeit einer Definitionsfindung. Danach werden verschiedene Klassifizierungen individueller Mehrsprachigkeit beschrieben und ein kurzer historischer Abriss der Mehrsprachigkeitsforschung gegeben. Es folgt die Darstellung des Forschungsfeldes des Dritt- und weiteren Spracherwerbs und der Mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktik, wobei bei letzerer insbesondere auf die Interkomprehensionsdidaktik eingegangen wird. Im Kapitel zum Konzept Language Awareness, wird zunächst dessen historische Entwicklung nachgezeichnet und terminologische Fragen geklärt. Danach werden drei verschiedene Zugänge zu Language Awareness beschrieben und die Sprachbewusstheit von Lehrkräften in den Blickpunkt genommen. An eine kurze Zusammenfassung dieser beiden Theoriebausteine schließt sich deren Zusammenführung mittels der vorgenommenen Konzeptualisierung von Mehrsprachigkeitsbewusstheit an.
Im empirischen Teil der Arbeit wird untersucht, inwiefern sich das EPOSA (Europäisches Portfolio für Sprachlehrende in Ausbildung) für einen mehrsprachigkeitsorientierten Unterricht erweitern lässt. Das erste Kapitel wird dem EPOSA, das den Ausgangspunkt des vorliegenden Forschungsinteresses darstellt, gewidmet. In diesem werden Hintergründe, Ansprüche und Ziele sowie dessen Aufbau beschrieben, bevor auf Möglichkeiten einer Implementierung in der österreichischen Lehrer/innenbildung eingegangen wird.  Danach wird in einem zweiten Kapitel das Forschungsdesign erläutert: die Indikatoren für die Evaluierung der Deskriptoren werden angeführt, die „Kann-Beschreibungen“ aufgelistet sowie kurz erläutert und die Vorgehensweise bei der Identifikation der Deskriptoren wird beschrieben. Danach folgen zwei Abschnitte zur Konzeption des Fragebogens und der Formulierung der Hypothesen. Zum Schluss wird auf die Durchführung der Erhebung eingegangen und die Zielgruppe näher beschrieben. Im dritten Kapitel dieses empirischen Teils werden die Ergebnisse der Fragebogenstudie dargestellt und analysiert. Dafür werden zunächst die Verfahren bei der Auswertung der Daten kurz erläutert, die Stichprobe beschrieben sowie die Annahmen geprüft und die Ergebnisse diskutiert.
Den Abschluss der Arbeit bildet eine Conclusio, in der die Ergebnisse der Studie vor dem Hintergrund der forschungsleitenden Fragestellung erörtert werden.

Realizing an effective, efficient Smart Grid will require the time, effort and imagination of a wide range of individuals and organizations. Because of this complexity, there is a real risk that deployment of mission-critical infrastructures could be delayed. Stakeholders need concisely stated goals, objectives, and requirements written in simple, clear language; and accessible input and feedback channels.

Guaranteed discovery of the NmSuGra model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the discovery potential of the next-to-minimal supergravity motivated model: NmSuGra. This model is an extension of mSuGra by a gauge singlet, and contains only one additional parameter: lambda, the Higgs-singlet-Higgs coupling. NmSuGra solves the mu-problem and reduces the fine tuning of mSuGra. After identifying parameter space regions preferred by present experimental data, we show that these regions of NmSuGra are amenable to detection by the combination of the Large Hadron Collider and an upgraded Cryogenic Dark Matter Search. This conclusion holds strictly provided that the more than three sigma discrepancy in the difference of the experimental and the standard theoretical values of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon prevails in the future.

The impact of religiously motivated boycotts on brand loyalty among transnational consumers
Creators: name: Serhan, Omar Al
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Consumer behaviour

description: Boycotting has been empirically proven to be damaging to business organisations, and there is compelling evidence to suggest that it is not only here to stay, but it is also on the increase. Brand loyalty is declining for many reasons including the effects of market competitiveness, the fading of brand differentiation andthe ever-changing marketplace landscape. Transnationality and its impact on consumer behaviour—despite the increase in the international human movements and border crossing—is still an understudied field.The conducted literature review suggests that little attention has been paid to explore the link between boycotting and brand loyalty from the transnational consumers perspective. To achieve the research objective, which is to develop an understanding of the impact of boycotting on brand loyalty and the influence of transnationality on this relationship, a mixed methods approach was adopted. Thirty-five qualitative interviews were conducted with London-based Muslim Arabs and sequentially an online questionnaire that generated 537 responses. This research has empirically revealed the negative impact of consumer boycotts on brand loyalty and highlighted the influential role that transnationality, social capital and demographics play in shaping the consumer boycotting and brand loyalty decision-making process. This study also explored the role of religion on boycotting and the subsequent brand loyalty behaviour and empirically confirmed that religiously motivated boycotts are damaging for business firms as they have a sudden and long-term negative effect on loyalty. The study shows that religious denominations have a significant impact on both boycotting and loyalty behaviour. Based on the study findings, implications, recommendations for management and consumers alike and suggestions for future research are presented.
title: Exploring Marine Bacterial Communities with a Focus on Bacteria Attached to Particles
Creators: name: Trano, Anna Chiara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: Prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) and phytoplankton have been widely investigated in terms of taxonomy, physiology, metabolism and their role in biogeochemical cycles, however, the relationship with one another is still little known. Phytoplankton can interact with free- living (FL) prokaryotes but can also maintain particle- attached (PA) prokaryotes on their surface, facilitating exchanges in the region surrounding their cells, the phycosphere. In this study, prokaryotic community structures of both PA and FL were determined with the hypothesis that the interaction is not casual but based upon processes linked to the physiology and characteristics of the living particles. In order to obtain a detailed morphological and taxonomical identification of FL and PA prokaryotes, High Throughput 16S rRNA gene Sequencing and Scanning Electron Microscopy were used as main tools. In the first part of the thesis, the prokaryotic community composition was analyzed in diatom cultures, based upon growing evidence that many diatom species rely on mutualistic interactions with their microbiota. Skeletonema marinoi, known to produce PUAs (PolyUnsaturated Aldehydes) and the non PUA-producing Skeletonema tropicum were used to understand if the diatom-attached prokaryotic communities present host-specificity also in relation to the presence or absence of secondary metabolites. In the second and third part of the thesis, the temporal and spatial scales of FL and PA prokaryotes distribution and diversity were investigated in situ to also understand the environmental drivers regulating them. Generally, PA and FL prokaryotes accommodate significantly divergent communities, especially when analyzed at a fine taxonomic level, in relation to the origin and abundance of particles. All the data together provide a clear and comparable assessment of PA and FL prokaryotic diversity, at different sites and under different conditions, making a significant contribution to the field of marine microbial ecology for a better definition of marine microbiome and its potential functional role.

Characterizing the non-thermal emission of Cas A
Creators: name: Helder, E. A.
name: Vink, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report on our analysis of the 1 Ms Chandra observation of the supernova remnant Cas A in order to localize, characterize and quantify its non-thermal X-ray emission. More specifically, we investigated whether the X-ray synchrotron emission from the inside of the remnant is from the outward shock, but projected toward the inner ring, or from the inner shell. We tackle this problem by employing a Lucy-Richardson deconvolution technique and measuring spectral indices in the 4.2-6 keV band. We show that most of the continuum emission is coming from an inner ring that coincides with the location of the reverse shock. This inner ring includes filaments, whose X-ray emission has been found to be dominated by X-ray synchrotron emission. The X-ray emission from these filaments, both at the forward shock and from the inner ring, have relatively hard spectra with spectral index > -3.1. The regions emitting hard X-ray continuum contribute about 54% of the total X-ray emission in the 4.2-6 keV. This is lower than suggested by extrapolating the hard X-ray spectrum as measured by BeppoSAX-PDS and INTEGRAL. This can be reconciled by assuming a gradual steepening of the spectrum toward higher energies. We argue that the X-ray synchrotron emission is mainly coming from the Western part of the reverse shock. The reverse shock in the West is almost at rest in our observation frame, corresponding to a relatively high reverse shock velocity of ~6000 km/s in the frame of the freely expanding ejecta.

Spectropolarimetric Observations of Herbig Ae/Be Stars. II. Comparison of Spectropolarimetric Surveys: HAeBe, Be and Other Emission-Line Stars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The polarization of light across individual spectral lines contains information about the circumstellar environment on very small spatial scales. We have obtained a large number of high precision, high resolution spectropolarimetric observations of Herbig Ae/Be, Classical Be and other emission-line stars collected on 117 nights of observations with the HiVIS spectropolarimeter at a resolution of R=13000 on the 3.67m AEOS telescope. We also have many observations from the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter at a resolution of R=68000 on the 3.6m CFH telescope. In roughly ~2/3 of the so-called "windy" or "disky" Herbig Ae/Be stars, the detected H-alpha linear polarization varies from our typical detection threshold near 0.1% to over 2%. In all but one HAe/Be star the detected polarization effect is not coincident with the H-alpha emission peak but is detected in and around the obvious absorptive part of the line profile. The qu-loops are dominated by the polarization in this absorptive region. In several stars the polarization varies in time mostly in the absorptive component and is not necessarily tied to corresponding variations in intensity. This is a new result not seen at lower resolution. In the Be and emission-line stars, 10 out of a sample of 30 show a typical broad depolarization effect but 4 of these 10 show weaker effects only visible at high resolution. Another 5 of 30 show smaller amplitude, more complex signatures. Six stars of alternate classification showed large amplitude (1-3%) absorptive polarization effects. These detections are largely inconsistent with the traditional disk-scattering and depolarization models.

Finding shortest non-trivial cycles in directed graphs on surfaces

name: Lazarus, Francis
Publisher: name: Journal of Computational Geometry
Year: 2016

description: Let $D$ be a weighted directed graph cellularly embedded in a surface of genus $g$, orientable or not, possibly with boundary. We describe algorithms to compute shortest non-contractible and shortest surface non-separating cycles in $D$, generalizing previous results that dealt with undirected graphs. Our first algorithm computes such cycles in $O(n^2\log n)$ time, where $n$ is the total number of vertices and edges of $D$, thus matching the complexity of the best general algorithm in the undirected case. It revisits and extends Thomassen's 3-path condition; the technique applies to other families of cycles as well. We also provide more efficient algorithms in special cases, such as graphs with small genus or bounded treewidth, using a divide-and-conquer technique that simplifies the graph while preserving the topological properties of its cycles. Finally, we give an efficient output-sensitive algorithm, whose running time depends on the length of the shortest non-contractible or non-separating cycle.

description: We have designed and tested an in-plane echelle spectrograph configured to investigate precision radial velocities from ground-based near-infrared observations. The spectrograph operates across the spectral range of 0.9-1.7 mm at a spectral resolution of R = 50,000, and uses a liquid nitrogen-cooled HAWAII 1K detector. Repeated measurements of the Earth's rotation via integrated Sunlight with two different instrument arrangements in the near infrared Y band have produced radial velocities with ~10 m/s RMS over a period of several hours. The most recent instrument configuration has achieved an unbinned RMS of 7 m/s and suggests that infrared radial velocity precisions may be able to approach those achieved at optical wavelengths.

description: We investigate whether black holes can be defined without using event horizons. In particular we focus on the thermodynamic properties of event horizons and the alternative, locally defined horizons. We discuss the assumptions and limitations of the proofs of the zeroth, first and second laws of black hole mechanics for both event horizons and trapping horizons. This leads to the possibility that black holes may be more usefully defined in terms of trapping horizons. We also show how Hawking radiation can also be seen to arise from trapping horizons and discuss which horizon area should be associated with the gravitational entropy.

description: Eine Analyse der Auswirkungen von Wirtschaftsformen auf soziale Strukturen erfordert die Beschäftigung mit den grundlegenden Prinzipien und den verschiedenen Formen von Tausch. Denn Tausch als konstituierendes Element gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens tritt in verschiedenen Ausprägungen auf, die wiederum unterschiedliche soziale Kompetenzen der Tauschenden erfordern.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird nach Erläuterungen zum Thema „Tauschkreise und Komplementärwährungen“ und einer kontextuellen Beschreibung des untersuchten Tauschkreises KAESCH, näher auf theoretische Konzepte aus der ökonomischen Anthropologie eingegangen. Dies beinhaltet etwa eine ausführliche Beschreibung der wichtigsten Tauschformen sowie das Modell von Basis und Markt von Stephen Gudeman. In einer späteren theoretischen Ergänzung wird auf Werttheorien und Überlegungen zu Vertrauen innerhalb einer Gesellschaft eingegangen.
In den empirischen Kapiteln wird erst die emische Sichtweise der TeilnehmerInnen auf den Tauschkreis näher beschrieben und dieser in Anlehnung an Gudemans Modell betrachtet. Desweiteren wird die Tauschform, wie sie bei KAESCH praktiziert wird zwischen den theoretischen Tauschmodellen verortet. Nach und nach zeichnet sich ein deutlicher, wenn auch unausgesprochener Vergleich zwischen dem Tausch bei KAESCH und dem Kauf, der vorherrschenden Tauschform in westlichen Volkswirtschaften, mitsamt den jeweiligen sozialen Aspekten und Konsequenzen ab.
Das empirische Datenmaterial stammt von zwei ExpertInneninterviews und acht leitfadengestützten Interviews mit TeilnehmerInnen des Tauschkreises. Weitere teilweise verwertete Daten erhielt ich durch teilnehmende Beobachtung während diversen Veranstaltungen und durch spontane persönliche Gespräche, die sich vor Ort ergaben.

description: The Collective Variables Dashboard is a software tool for real-time, seamless exploration of molecular structures and trajectories in a customizable space of collective variables. The Dashboard arises from the integration of the Collective Variables Module with the visualization software VMD, augmented with a fully discoverable graphical interface offering interactive workflows for the design and analysis of collective variables. Typical use cases include a priori design of collective variables for enhanced sampling and free energy simulations as well as post-mortem analysis of any type of simulation or collection of structures in a collective variable space. A combination of those cases commonly occurs when preliminary simulations, biased or unbiased, reveal that an optimized set of collective variables is necessary to improve sampling in further simulations. Then the Dashboard provides an efficient way to intuitively explore the space of likely collective variables, validate them on existing data, and use the resulting collective variable definitions directly in further biased simulations using the Collective Variables Module. We illustrate the use of the Dashboard on two applications: discovering coordinates to describe ligand unbinding from a protein binding site, and designing volume-based variables to bias the hydration of a transmembrane pore.

Ein "Sonderling" auf Reisen

Year: 2012

description: Die Arbeit behandelt die fotografische Sammlung von Rudolf und Helene Oldenburg im Museum für Völkerkunde Wien, die im Zeitraum von 1901 – 1913 in Französisch Guinea und Kamerun entstand. Im Fotoarchiv des Museums nimmt die Sammlung 1053 Inventarnummern ein. Eine Bestandsaufnahme ergab, dass sich darunter 919 Motive befinden, die in 57 Glasdia, 763 originalen Glasplatten und 912 Abzügen erhalten sind. Neben den Fotografien wurden auch die Archivakten des Museums zur Sammlung bearbeitet, wodurch ca. 250 Aufnahmen näher bestimmt und ihre Sujets identifiziert werden konnten. Eine technische Bestimmung des Negativ- und Positivmaterials brachte u.a. Informationen zur Datierung der Fotografien. Außerdem wird in dieser Arbeit die Sammlungsgeschichte dargestellt.
Die Fotografien der Oldenburgs entstanden vor dem Hintergrund eines afrikanischen Diskurses, der von stereotypen Vorstellungen geprägt war und damit auch Einfluss auf diese nahm. Die vorliegende quellenkritische Untersuchung berücksichtigt dies ebenso wie die Dreiecksbeziehung von Fotograf/in, Autochthon/in und Betrachter/in bzw. von Produktionsumständen, Intention und Rezeption eines Bildes. Anhand von ausgewählten Beispielen wird dies dargestellt.
Die Aufnahmesujets wurden nach damalig aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Lehrmeinungen gewählt, was auf den Einfluss von Rudolf Pöch zurückzuführen ist, mit dem Rudolf Oldenburg in engem Kontakt stand. Die Fotografien aus Kamerun überragen jene aus Guinea sowohl in der technischen Ausführung als auch thematisch und systematisch. So geben besonders die Aufnahmen aus dem Grasland Einblicke in das Leben der einfachen Bevölkerung und halten in einer Vielzahl von Aufnahmen Arbeitsgänge und Maskeraden fest. Sie bilden so heute eine Grundlage für die Erforschung vergangener Kulturpraktiken.
Auch in deutschen Museen und im Archiv der Basler Mission befinden sich Abzüge der Oldenburgs. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden die Bestände der Sammlungen angefragt und ein Überblick gegeben.

description: We used optical images acquired with the Wide Field Camera of the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the Hubble Space Telescope and near-infrared data from GeMS/GSAOI to construct a high-resolution extinction map in the direction of the bulge stellar system Liller 1. In spite of its appearance of a globular cluster, Liller 1 has been recently found to harbor two stellar populations with remarkably different ages, and it is the second complex stellar system with similar properties (after Terzan5) discovered in the bulge, thus defining a new class of objects: the Bulge Fossil Fragments. Because of its location in the inner bulge of the Milky Way, very close to the Galactic plane, Liller 1 is strongly affected by large and variable extinction. The simultaneous study of both the optical and the near-infrared color-magnitude diagrams revealed that the extinction coefficient R$_V$ in the direction of Liller 1 has a much smaller value than commonly assumed for diffuse interstellar medium (R$_V=2.5$, instead of 3.1), in agreement with previous findings along different light paths to the Galactic bulge. The derived differential reddening map has a spatial resolution ranging from $1''$ to $3''$ over a field of view of about $90''$X$90''$. We found that the absorption clouds show patchy sub-structures with extinction variations as large as $δ{\rm E}(B-V)\sim0.9$ mag.

Konzeptuelle Metaphern in der Verdolmetschung im Europäischen Parlament
Creators: name: Lucka, Joanna
Year: 2012

description: This project constitutes a case study scrutinising the way conceptual metaphors are simultaneously interpreted in the European Parliament. Its interdisciplinary nature, juxtaposing applied and cognitive linguistics with interpreting studies, opens a broader perspective to explore this topic in depth. The first chapter of this Master’s thesis summarises the theory of conceptual metaphors, whereas the second one presents its application within the research field of political discourse. In the third chapter an array of conceptual metaphors, which pertain to the European Union, is collated, whereby a bench mark for the empirical analysis is prepared. The fourth chapter summarizes two research projects, which are devoted to the interpretation of conceptual metaphors in the European Parliament. Yet, Vuorikoski (2004) and Beaton (2007) arrive at contradictory conclusion as far as the interpretation of conceptual metaphors in the European Parliament is concerned. This opens a research gap for the empirical study conducted in the next chapter, whose overarching aim is to examine, how conceptual metaphors construed in German and English speeches in the European Parliament are interpreted into Polish.
description: Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit war es, die Verdolmetschung der konzeptuellen Metaphern am Beispiel des Europäischen Parlaments zu erforschen. Dieses interdisziplinäre Forschungsprojekt beruht auf dem wissenschaftlichen Austausch zwischen der angewandten Linguistik, kognitiven Linguistik und der Dolmetschwissenschaft. Im ersten Kapitel wurde die Theorie der konzeptuellen Metaphern zusammengefasst und im Anschluss daran deren Anwendung im politischen Diskurs beschrieben. Dabei wurde die Tragweite der konzeptuellen Metaphern in den Reden der PolitikerInnen hervorgehoben und die für diese Arbeit relevanten Metaphern im politischen Diskurs beschrieben. Im dritten Kapitel wurden Studien zusammengestellt, die konzeptuelle Metaphern über die Europäische Union erforschen, wodurch die Grundlage für den empirischen Teil geschaffen wurde. Anschließend wurden zwei Studien analysiert, die sich mit der Verdolmetschung von konzeptuellen Metaphern im Europäischen Parlament auseinandersetzten und deren Autorinnen zu gegensätzlichen Erkenntnissen kamen. Die aufgedeckte Forschungslücke stellte den Hintergrund für die durchzuführende empirische Studie, die die Erkenntnisse von Vuorikoski (2004) und Beaton (2007) in Bezug auf die Sprachenpaare Deutsch-Polnisch und Englisch-Polnisch überprüfte.

description: Masking of quantum information is a way of hiding information in correlations such that no information is accessible to any local observer. Although the set of all quantum states as a whole cannot be masked into bipartite correlations according to the no-masking theorem, the set of real states is maskable and is a maximal maskable set. In this work, we experimentally realize a masking protocol of the real ququart by virtue of a photonic quantum walk. Our experiment clearly demonstrates that quantum information of the real ququart can be completely hidden in bipartite correlations of two-qubit hybrid entangled states, which are encoded in two different degrees of freedom of a single photon. The hidden information is not accessible from each qubit alone, but can be faithfully retrieved with a fidelity of about 99% from correlation measurements. By contrast, any superset of the set of real density matrices cannot be masked.
Beer Game
Creators: name: Harrer, Astrid
Year: 2012

description: This research paper is about demand and supply variance as one move up the supply chain. The first part deals with the basic facts, measurement and behavioral causes of the bullwhip effect. Previously published research papers of the bullwhip effect and ordering policies are introduced. The popular Beer Game from Sterman (1989) is compared with an adaption of the game: An additional supplier was invented to examine the use and impact of dual sourcing on the bullwhip effect and cost of the supply chain. The board game was played with 45 people in teams of 3 to analyze the results with statistical tests.
description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Angebots- und Nachfrageschwankungen innerhalb einer Lieferkette. Nach einer theoretischen Einführung über die Beschaffungsstrategien, mit besonderem Augenmerk auf Dual Sourcing, erfolgt ein Überblick über die Grundlagen, die Berechnung und die Entstehungsgründe des Bullwhip Effekts. Auf die bereits veröffentlichte Literatur zur Beschaffungslogistik und dem Bullwhip Effekt wird näher eingegangen. Der Spielablauf des klassischen Beer Games und die Spielbedingungen werden erläutert. Im empirischen Teil wurde das bekannte Beer Game mit den Daten von Stermans Experimenten aus dem Jahre 1989 verglichen. Das Beer Game wurde um einen zusätzlichen Lieferanten erweitert und dabei der Einsatz und die Auswirkungen von Dual Sourcing auf den Bullwhip Effekt untersucht. Anhand des wissenschaftlichen Brettspiels wurde die Adaption mit 45 Personen in 3er Teams durchgespielt und danach mittels statistischer Testverfahren überprüft.

Conservation Voltage Regulation: An Energy Efficiency Resource

Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2017

Newsletter
With the adoption of smart grid technologies, Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) promises greater efficiencies than ever before. But because its benefits accrue mainly to customers and its costs to utilities, CVR is not being adopted as widely as it could be. Allowing CVR energy savings to be treated as a certified energy efficiency resource can change that picture for the better.

description: In various provers and deductive verification tools, logical transformations are used extensively in order to reduce a proof task into a number of simpler tasks. Logical transformations are often part of the trusted base of such tools. In this paper, we develop a framework to improve confidence in their results. We follow a modular and skeptical approach: transformations are instrumented independently of each other and produce certificates that are checked by a third-party tool. Logical transformations are considered in a higher-order logic, with type polymorphism and built-in theories such as equality and integer arithmetic. We develop a language of proof certificates for them and use it to implement the full chain of certificate generation and certificate verification.

While developing mathematical models for keeping aloft individual aircraft, whole squadrons, or end-to-end systems for the U.S. DoD logistics networks after suffering damage, Massoud Amin, chairman of the IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter, discovered how power systems and interdependent coupled networks for fuel supply, energy and power, communication and energy markets could be retrofitted or designed to automatically stabilize and correct themselves. He carried those ideas first to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and then to the University of Minnesota, where he holds the Honeywell/H.W. Sweatt Chair in Technological Leadership.
Optical Interferometers with Reduced Sensitivity to Thermal Noise

description: A fundamental limit to the sensitivity of optical interferometry is thermal noise that drives fluctuations in the positions of the surfaces of the interferometer's mirrors, and thereby in the phase of the intracavity field. Schemes for reducing this thermally driven phase noise are presented in which phase shifts from concomitant strains at the surface and in the bulk of the substrate compensate the phase shift due to the displacement of the surface. Although the position of the physical surface fluctuates, the optical phase upon reflection can have reduced sensitivity to this motion.

Prendalona undetermined

description: 39. ** Prendalona sp.
(Fig. 4A–F)
Localities and specimens found: 50 – 1♀.
Distribution and ecology. This peculiar female was found amid the roots of a water hyacinth (see Appendix 1).
Remarks. Based on the main diagnostic characteristics, this unidentified individual most likely belongs to the genus Prendalona and is most similar to P. (formely Alona) guttata (Sars, 1862) (Sousa et al. 2016 a, 2018; Sinev et al. 2023a). At the same time, it has a number of noticeable differences from P. guttata and other representatives of the genus; mainly the presence of atypically long (up to 38 μm) setae on the posterior parts of the ventral margin of the valves (Fig. 4A, B) (in other species, these setae are distinctly shorter) and the presence of a noticeably longer and thicker setula in the distal part of the groups of lateral setulae of the postabdomen (Fig. 4A, C, F) (in other species, these groups have the other configuration of the setulae in length and thickness) (Sinev et al. 2023a). Unfortunately, the only specimen found does not allow for a complete analysis of the morphological structure. It is possible that this is a new representative of the chydoridae. Further finds and study of more specimens are needed to clarify the status of this form.
