Convergence of graphs with intermediate density

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: We propose a notion of graph convergence that interpolates between the Benjamini--Schramm convergence of bounded degree graphs and the dense graph convergence developed by László Lovász and his coauthors. We prove that spectra of graphs, and also some important graph parameters such as numbers of colorings or matchings, behave well in convergent graph sequences. Special attention is given to graph sequences of large essential girth, for which asymptotics of coloring numbers are explicitly calculated. We also treat numbers of matchings in approximately regular graphs. We introduce tentative limit objects that we call graphonings because they are common generalizations of graphons and graphings. Special forms of these, called Hausdorff and Euclidean graphonings, involve geometric measure theory. We construct Euclidean graphonings that provide limits of hypercubes and of finite projective planes, and, more generally, of a wide class of regular sequences of large essential girth. For any convergent sequence of large essential girth, we construct weaker limit objects: an involution invariant probability measure on the sub-Markov space of consistent measure sequences (this is unique), or an acyclic reversible sub-Markov kernel on a probability space (non-unique). We also pose some open problems.

description: We use the Heat Kernel method to calculate the Entanglement Entropy for a given entangling region on a fractal. The leading divergent term of the entropy is obtained as a function of the fractal dimension as well as the walk dimension. The power of the UV cut-off parameter is (generally) a fractional number which indeed is a certain combination of these two indices. This exponent is known as the spectral dimension. We show that there is a novel $\log$ periodic oscillatory behavior in the expression of entropy which has root in the complex dimension of the fractal. We finally indicate that the Holographic calculation in a certain hyper-scaling violating bulk geometry yields the same leading term for the entanglement entropy, if one identifies the effective dimension of the hyper-scaling violating theory with the spectral dimension of the fractal. We provide more supports with comparing the behavior of the thermal entropy in terms of the temperature computed for a fractal geometry and a hyper-scaling violating theory as well.

Comparison of Compliance and Treatment Outcome Between Medicaid and Non-Medicaid Patients Treated in a University Setting
Creators: name: Berndt, Jeffrey N.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The objective of this study was to compare the compliance and treatment outcomes of Medicaid and fee for service patients who were treated by the same orthodontist in the same clinic setting. Twenty three patients, enrolled in Medicaid who had completed treatment between 2000 and May 2009 were identified. For each provider a matching number of fee for service patients who met the same inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly selected from the provider's patient pool. Initial and final models were scored using the Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) Index to assess initial and post-treatment orthodontic outcome. Compliance was measured by reviewing chart entries and recording dates for the following: missed, rescheduled, cancelled and emergency appointments and appointments where the patient presented with a broken appliance. The model analysis of PAR scores showed that there was no difference between Medicaid patients in post-treatment PAR, after adjusting for age, gender and pretreatment PAR. No statistically significant difference between the Medicaid and non-Medicaid groups on compliance. With respect to effectiveness of treatment and compliance, there does not appear to be substantial differences between patients enrolled in Medicaid and those patients that pay privately.

description: The main goal of this work is to explore which elements carry the most information about the birth origin of stars and as such that are best suited for chemical tagging. We explored different techniques to minimize the effect of outlier value lines in the abundances by using Ni abundances derived for 1111 FGK type stars.We evaluated how the limited number of spectral lines can affect the final chemical abundance. Then we were able to make an efficient even footing comparison of the [X/Fe] scatter between the elements that have different number of observable spectral lines in the studied spectra. We found that the most efficient way of calculating the average abundance of elements when several spectral lines are available is to use a weighted mean (WM) where as a weight we considered the distance from the median abundance. This method can be effectively used without removing suspected outlier lines.We showed that when the same number of lines is used to determine chemical abundances, the [X/Fe] star-to-star scatter for iron group and $α$-capture elements is almost the same. On top of this, but at a lower level the largest scatter was observed for Al and the smallest for Cr and Ni. We recommend caution when comparing [X/Fe] scatters among elements that have a different number of spectral lines available. A meaningful comparison is necessary to identify elements that show the largest intrinsic scatter and can be thus used for chemical tagging.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: A prospective pilot study of adult patients treated with customized lingual orthodontic appliances (IncognitoTM, Bad Essen, Germany) was undertaken to measure the intensity and duration of functional impairment and orthodontic tooth pain. Six patients, fully bonded in both arches at UNC School of Dentistry, completed standardized questionnaires at specified time points over an eight week period after appliance placement. Functional impairment, including speech, was reported using a 5 - point Likert Rating Scale while tooth pain was scored using an 11 - point Numerical Rating Scale. Functional impairment and tooth pain were highest at 48 and 72 hours respectively. Pronunciation problems were highest at 24 hours and declined to near baseline by week 3. Tooth pain subsided by the conclusion of week 2; functional impairment improved by the end of week 3. The results of this investigation may help orthodontists provide details to patients about adaptation to customized lingual orthodontic appliances.
Understanding the meaning of Greek temples' orientations. Akragas Valley of the Temples as a case study

description: The issue of the orientation of Greek Temples has been the subject of several debates since the end of the 19 century. In fact, although a general tendency to orientation within the arc of the rising sun is undeniable, specific patterns and true meaning remain obscure. With the aim of shedding light on this problem we present here a new complete, high precision survey of the temples of Akragas, the so called Valley of the Temples UNESCO site. Our results include a important temple which was essentially yet unpublished, and most of all show that very different reasons influenced the orientation choices, some symbolical, but others by far more practical, besides the general rule of orienting to the rising sun. In particular, the existence of temples orientated in accordance with the towns grid, as well as to the cardinal points irrespectively from the sun's declination associated to true east at the uneven horizon, is evidenced. Finally, for two temples having anomalous orientations a stellar and a lunar proposal are made respectively

description: Phenomena induced by the existence of entanglement, such as nonlocal correlations, exhibit characteristic properties of quantum mechanics distinguishing from classical theories. When entanglement is accompanied by classical communication, it enhances the power of quantum operations jointly performed by two spatially separated parties. Such a power has been analyzed by the gap between the performances of joint quantum operations implementable by local operations at each party connected by classical communication with and without the assistance of entanglement. In this work, we present a new formulation for joint quantum operations connected by classical communication beyond special relativistic causal order but without entanglement and still within quantum mechanics. Using the formulation, we show that entanglement assisting classical communication necessary for implementing a class of joint quantum operations called separable maps can be interpreted to simulate "classical communication" not respecting causal order. Our results reveal a new counter-intuitive aspect of entanglement related to spacetime.

description: CPU scheduling is one of the most crucial operations performed by operating systems. Different conventional algorithms like FCFS, SJF, Priority, and RR (Round Robin) are available for CPU Scheduling. The effectiveness of Priority and Round Robin scheduling algorithm completely depends on selection of priority features of processes and on the choice of time quantum. In this paper a new CPU scheduling algorithm has been proposed, named as CSPDABRR (Characteristic specific Prioritized Dynamic Average Burst Round Robin), that uses seven priority features for calculating priority of processes and uses dynamic time quantum instead of static time quantum used in RR. The performance of the proposed algorithm is experimentally compared with traditional RR and Priority scheduling algorithm in both uni-processor and multi-processor environment. The results of our approach presented in this paper demonstrate improved performance in terms of average waiting time, average turnaround time, and optimal priority feature.

description: Quantum steering enables one party to communicate with another remote party even if the sender is untrusted. Such characteristics of quantum systems not only provide direct applications to quantum information science, but are also conceptually important for distinguishing between quantum and classical resources. While concrete illustrations of steering have been shown in several experiments, quantum steering has not been certified for higher dimensional systems. Here, we introduce a simple method to experimentally certify two different kinds of quantum steering: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering and single-system (SS) steering (i.e., temporal steering), for dimensionality (d) up to d=16. The former reveals the steerability among bipartite systems, whereas the latter manifests itself in single quantum objects. We use multidimensional steering witnesses to verify EPR steering of polarization-entangled pairs and SS steering of single photons. The ratios between the measured witnesses and the maximum values achieved by classical mimicries are observed to increase with $d$ for both EPR and SS steering. The designed scenario offers a new method to study further the genuine multipartite steering of large dimensionality and potential uses in quantum information processing.

description: We evaluate the limiting efficiency of full and partial solar spectrum harvesting via the process of internal photoemission in Au-semiconductor Schottky junctions. Our results based on the ab initio calculations of the electron density of states (e-DOS) reveal that the limiting efficiency of the full-spectrum Au converter based on hot electron injection is below 4%. This value is even lower than previously established limit based on the parabolic approximation of the Au electron energy bands. However, we predict limiting efficiency exceeding 10% for the hot holes collection through the Schottky junction between Au and p-type semiconductor. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such converters have more potential if used as a part of the hybrid system for harvesting high- and low-energy photons of the solar spectrum.

Testing the Blowback Thesis: American Military Presence and Terrorism against Americans
Creators: name: Noble, Mark
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Social scientific analyses of anti-American terrorism primarily seek explanations in the political, economic, and social conditions of states where Americans are attacked. A prominent counter-narrative places the focus on U.S. foreign policies positing that anti-American terrorism is blowback for them. The few studies that analyze anti-American terrorism as a potential consequence of U.S. actions abroad do not examine if there are long-term or cumulative effects of U.S. policies and actions. In order to effectively determine if terror events are truly blowback we must integrate an examination of long-term effects. To inject cumulative effects into the discussion, this paper evaluates six methodological approaches to that end and applies them to two replicated studies that are most consistent to the concept of blowback. The analysis demonstrates that military dependency is integral to explanations of anti-American terrorism and that blowback is greater than previously identified when long-term effects are considered.

description: We present a rigorous analysis of the Magnesium Aluminum Chloro Complex (MACC) in tetrahydrofuran (THF), one of the few electrolytes that can reversibly plate and strip Mg. We use \emph{ab initio} calculations and classical molecular dynamics simulations to interrogate the MACC electrolyte composition with the goal of addressing two urgent questions that have puzzled battery researchers: \emph{i}) the functional species of the electrolyte, and \emph{ii}) the complex equilibria regulating the MACC speciation after prolonged electrochemical cycling, a process termed as conditioning, and after prolonged inactivity, a process called aging. A general computational strategy to untangle the complex structure of electrolytes, ionic liquids and other liquid media is presented. The analysis of formation energies and grand-potential phase diagrams of Mg-Al-Cl-THF suggests that the MACC electrolyte bears a simple chemical structure with few simple constituents, namely the electro-active species MgCl$^+$ and AlCl$_4^-$ in equilibrium with MgCl$_2$ and AlCl$_3$. Knowledge of the stable species of the MACC electrolyte allows us to determine the most important equilibria occurring during electrochemical cycling. We observe that Al deposition is always preferred to Mg deposition, explaining why freshly synthesized MACC cannot operate and needs to undergo preparatory conditioning. Similarly, we suggest that aluminum displacement and depletion from the solution upon electrolyte resting (along with continuous MgCl$_2$ regeneration) represents one of the causes of electrolyte aging. Finally, we compute the NMR shifts from shielding tensors of selected molecules and ions providing fingerprints to guide future experimental investigations.

description: Since Rob Pollack and Glenn Stevens used overconvergent modular symbols to construct p-adic L-functions for non-critical slope rational modular forms, the theory has been extended to construct p-adic L-functions for non-critical slope automorphic forms over totally real and imaginary quadratic fields by the first and second authors respectively. In this paper, we give an analogous construction over a general number field. In particular, we start by proving a control theorem stating that the specialisation map from overconvergent to classical modular symbols is an isomorphism on the small slope subspace. We then show that if one takes the modular symbol attached to a small slope cuspidal eigenform, then there is a canonical way of constructing a ray class distribution from the corresponding overconvergent symbol, that moreover interpolates critical values of the L-function of the eigenform. We thus define its p-adic L-function to be this distribution.

description: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a model that enables a company to select the supply chain strategy based on risk probability p (measure of how likely/often a detrimental event occurs) and risk impact i (expression of the significance of a loss when that event occurs). Design/methodology/approach – This paper discusses four supply chain strategies: agility, robustness, resilience and rigidity. Mathematical models are used for the strategies’ cost functions, which reveal optimal solutions and break-even points in dependence of p and i. Findings – This paper proposes that resilience is appropriate in the case of high supply chain risk probability and impact, and rigidity if both values are low. When only risk impact is low, robustness is optimal, whereas agility is optimal when only risk probability is low. Research limitations/implications – This research extends existing models for selecting the appropriate supply chain strategy. Practical implications – Knowledge of the interplay between the strategies’ cost functions and risk probability and risk impact is vital for companies. This may encourage managers to become more familiar with their strategy costs and supply chain risks. Originality/value – To the author’s knowledge, no corresponding model exists so far that links risk impact and risk probability to the four supply chain strategies.

Religious parody and the economy of significance in Decameron day five
Creators: name: Essary, Brandon K.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: According to some critics, the fifth day of Boccaccio's Decameron represents a return to order. After Day Four's theme of tragic events and unhappy endings, the queen of Day Five, Fiammetta, requires that only stories with happy endings be told. Ironically, however, even though Day Five's stores are supposed to end happily with the celebration of marriage and the triumph of love, nearly all the events leading up to the irenic conclusions are shaped by tragedy, fear, violence, coercion and even death. Rather than acting as a peaceful and socially unifying force fundamental to order and stability in society, the institution of marriage in Day Five is built upon a foundation of strained an unpropitious circumstances. The resultant representation of marriage is parodic, and the goal of the present study will be to underline Boccaccio's efforts to create a near total parody of the marriages witnessed through Day Five and to analyze how the various novelle utilize love and marriage to undermine social order. In addition, in chapter two, this study will seek to understand this parody in economic terms as employed by Boccaccio, a writer of a mercantile and commercial background.

description: ABSTRACT
      Critical Theory and Popular Culture: Preparing School Leaders for the Emerging Biracial Majority
      Since the implementation of the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) decision, school leaders have been tasked with the challenge of mitigating the historical and societal tensions that have existed between blacks and whites that developed during slavery. Despite the integration of blacks and white students within the same school building, American public schools continue to struggle with inclusiveness of all groups of students, as evidenced by the lack of success of certain minority groups (English, 2002; Shields, 2004). As a result, several diversity initiatives and reform efforts have been implemented (Sleeter, 2012; Wardle, 2000). Moreover, many educational leadership programs have begun adopting social justice frameworks in an effort to develop transformative leaders. Even with these attempts to recognize and include all groups of students, black-white biracial students are rarely included in educational research and literature (Root, 1996, 2001; Wardle, 2007; Williams, 2009, 2011). This dissertation was an inquiry into the pedagogical use of popular culture, in the form of film—specifically films with biracial characters and in some instances other video texts—for the purpose of engaging school leaders (principals and assistant principals) in critically reflective activities that merge theory and popular culture. The theories that the researcher employed are Stuart Hall’s Encoding/Decoding and Critical Race Theory (CRT). Transformative leadership strategies are embedded throughout the pedagogical project, which serve as the primary justification for the dissertation format that results in an authentic product that consists of a 3-day professional learning experience.

description: Cette thèse en création littéraire comporte d’abord un roman jeunesse : La violence de vivre centré sur Katharos, un jeune homme tourmenté par son passé. Au fil des pages, ce personnage principal vivra une chute morale. Le roman narre un destin semblable à celui de toute autre personne ayant traversé l’humanité : c’est l’histoire de la rencontre d’une âme avec la douleur, des choix qui résulteront de cette rencontre et de leurs effets. Néanmoins, c’est également un roman qui montre les fréquentations, les amitiés ainsi que les liens familiaux du personnage et à quel point ces gens qui l’entourent peuvent ajouter à ses souffrances ou alors faire germer en lui force et espoir. Le deuxième volet de la thèse porte sur la question de l’écriture en tant qu’instrument pour produire une catharsis chez le lecteur. Cette deuxième section est divisée en deux chapitres : le premier portant sur la théorie aristotélicienne de la catharsis, le second analysant La violence de vivre sous la lunette de la catharsis. Ainsi, ce volet théorique cherche, d’une part, à définir la catharsis selon Aristote et les éléments qui participent à la construction de cette notion; d’autre part, à déterminer si La violence de vivre parvient à déclencher ou non une catharsis pour ses lecteurs. Somme toute, il n’y a qu’une énigme au cœur de cette thèse. Comment peut-on, en création, employer l’écriture pour transformer le lecteur? Plus particulièrement, peut-on diriger cette catharsis du lecteur de manière à lui prodiguer de l’espoir?

Join me to explore advances in the analysis of GNSS in an Australia context.Knowing our ‘place in space’ is an inherent human emotive connection and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), as a technology, has become prevalent in the world around us, and as a society we have become reliant on basic functions such as knowing where we are, and how to navigate from one place to another.Advances in analysis of GNSS observations has led to us being able to determine a location down to the sub-millimetre; calculate precise orbital arcs of low earth satellite platforms that are exploding in numbers for innovative communication technologies and earth observation; define how wet the troposphere is, and assist weather forecasting models; and even provide real-time precise positioning at the centimetre-level for a variety of applications.
This presentation will take you through advances in positioning and navigation technologies through the lens of GNSS products and services based at Geoscience Australia, and how these benefit everyday Australians.

description: Obwohl die Darstellung von Gerichtsverhandlungen durch die gesamte Geschichte des englischsprachigen Theaters hinweg eine wichtige Rolle spielt, gibt es keinen gängigen Gattungsbegriff (wie etwa das deutsche 'Prozessdrama' oder auch die vorwiegend zur Klassifizierung entsprechender Filme verwendete Bezeichnung courtroom drama), unter den sich solche Stücke subsumieren ließen. Eine begrifflich besser erschlossene Ausnahme stellt allenfalls das tribunal play als eigenständiges Genre dar. Einer gattungsbegrifflichen Festlegung stehen die sehr unterschiedlichen Funktionen entgegen, die Gerichtsprozessen in englischsprachigen Dramen zukommen. Wie im Folgenden weiter ausgeführt wird, steigern sie die Spannung oder verstärken voyeuristische Impulse, verhandeln individuelle oder kollektive Identitäten und Verantwortlichkeiten, hinterfragen Konstruktionen von 'Wahrheit', debattieren moralische Fragen, intervenieren in gesellschaftliche und politische Diskurse oder kritisieren rechtliche Institutionen.
description: Even though the portrayal of trials has been of major significance throughout the history of anglophone theatre, there is no common generic term for such plays (such as, for instance, 'courtroom drama' in the context of film). With the exception of the tribunal play as a widely acknowledged dramatic subcategory, the following therefore avoids such generic labelling. This resistance against generic pigeonholing is also reflected in the diverse functions dramatic trials may serve; as explained in more detail below, they further suspense or channel voyeuristic impulses, negotiate individual or collective responsibilities and identities, interrogate constructions of 'truth', debate moral questions, intervene into socio-political discourse, or criticise legal institutions.

description: The ongoing climate warming is expected to increase thermokarst activity and their impacts by inducing permafrost degradation and active layer deepening. A retrogressive thaw slump, which represents the most dynamic thermokarst landform, was investigated in the Richardson Mountains-Peel Plateau region. The exposed material at the thaw slump represents an opportunity to characterize the cryostratigraphy of the uppermost 5 m of permafrost. Analyses of the stratigraphy, sedimentology, isotope geochemistry and radiocarbon dating is presented. Six sites were also identified on an elevation-vegetation gradient to provide complementary data on thaw layer thickness. Summer air temperatures, vegetation cover type, mesoscale conditions modifying the snowpack, timing of the snow accumulation and winter air temperature inversions are identified as the main drivers of thaw layer thickness in the region. The physical and chemical parameters of the massive ground ice exposed at the thaw slump are characteristic of buried glacier ice that experienced water infiltration and partial refreezing. The layer between the massive ground ice units and the thaw layer in the thaw slump is identified as a relict thaw layer and represents the period of maximum active layer deepening. It dates to the Holocene thermal maximum, which represents a period of important thermokarst activity that resulted in widespread paleo-thaw unconformities across northwestern Canada. Association of the region’s thaw slump activity with paleoclimatic parameters provide indication that the combination of formerly glaciated continuous permafrost, hummocky rolling moraine terrain, stream-incised relief, and massive ground ice, coupled with major rainfall events, represents a set of condition that is favourable to thaw slump activity.

description: We study the domain wall structure in thin uniaxial ferromagnetic films in the presence of an in-plane applied external field in the direction normal to the easy axis. Using the reduced one-dimensional thin film micromagnetic model, we analyze the critical points of the obtained non-local variational problem. We prove that the minimizer of the one-dimensional energy functional in the form of the Néel wall is the unique (up to translations) critical point of the energy among all monotone profiles with the same limiting behavior at infinity. Thus, we establish uniqueness of the one-dimensional monotone Néel wall profile in the considered setting. We also obtain some uniform estimates for general one-dimensional domain wall profiles.

description: Economic evaluation is a methodological framework that evaluates the clinical, economic and humanistic aspects of pharmaceutical products, services and programs, as well as other health care interventions. An Economic Evaluation Guideline (EEG) is a country-specific guideline which can be used as a standard for the preparation of studies to be included in application for reimbursement. This systematic review is a broad review about EEGs key features and characteristics with the addition of their development process and the team composition involved in this development in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It will examine the variation across different EEGs in LMICs. We will focus on LMICs as classified by the World Bank Atlas method for the 2020 fiscal year.

description: Besides the typical test voltages like DC, AC, lightning impulse (LI) and switching impulse (SI), combined and composed test voltages are of increasing interest. Combined test voltage is typical for disconnector tests where on both sides of the open contacts AC and impulse voltage will be applied. The elements between the two voltage sources and the test object are at the same time coupling and blocking elements which means that in one case they should transfer the voltage from one source and block the voltage from the other source. The use of high-voltage DC cables for transmission of power over long distances requires voltage tests with composite test voltage, where again coupling and blocking elements are very important components of the test circuit. The voltage measurement should be done with approved measuring systems which consist of converting devices and recording devices. For DC, AC, LI and SI voltages traceable reference divider are available, but for combined and composite test voltages not. Therefore, a European research project 19NRM07 HV-com² was established to develop traceable high-voltage reference dividers for combined and composite test voltages and also calibrators for approving digital recorders used in such a test circuit. The outcome of this project will be proposals for the revision of IEC 60060-1 and IEC 60060-2 whereby for part 1 some proposals are already available and will be taken into account in the discussion of the revision.

description: This paper studies the trading volumes and wealth distribution of a novel agent-based model of an artificial financial market. In this model, heterogeneous agents, behaving according to the Von Neumann and Morgenstern utility theory, may mutually interact. A Tobin-like tax (TT) on successful investments and a flat tax are compared to assess the effects on the agents' wealth distribution. We carry out extensive numerical simulations in two alternative scenarios: i) a reference scenario, where the agents keep their utility function fixed, and ii) a focal scenario, where the agents are adaptive and self-organize in communities, emulating their neighbours by updating their own utility function. Specifically, the interactions among the agents are modelled through a directed scale-free network to account for the presence of community leaders, and the herding-like effect is tested against the reference scenario. We observe that our model is capable of replicating the benefits and drawbacks of the two taxation systems and that the interactions among the agents strongly affect the wealth distribution across the communities. Remarkably, the communities benefit from the presence of leaders with successful trading strategies, and are more likely to increase their average wealth. Moreover, this emulation mechanism mitigates the decrease in trading volumes, which is a typical drawback of TTs.

description: Obwohl die Darstellung von Gerichtsverhandlungen durch die gesamte Geschichte des englischsprachigen Theaters hinweg eine wichtige Rolle spielt, gibt es keinen gängigen Gattungsbegriff (wie etwa das deutsche 'Prozessdrama' oder auch die vorwiegend zur Klassifizierung entsprechender Filme verwendete Bezeichnung courtroom drama), unter den sich solche Stücke subsumieren ließen. Eine begrifflich besser erschlossene Ausnahme stellt allenfalls das tribunal play als eigenständiges Genre dar. Einer gattungsbegrifflichen Festlegung stehen die sehr unterschiedlichen Funktionen entgegen, die Gerichtsprozessen in englischsprachigen Dramen zukommen. Wie im Folgenden weiter ausgeführt wird, steigern sie die Spannung oder verstärken voyeuristische Impulse, verhandeln individuelle oder kollektive Identitäten und Verantwortlichkeiten, hinterfragen Konstruktionen von 'Wahrheit', debattieren moralische Fragen, intervenieren in gesellschaftliche und politische Diskurse oder kritisieren rechtliche Institutionen.
description: Even though the portrayal of trials has been of major significance throughout the history of anglophone theatre, there is no common generic term for such plays (such as, for instance, 'courtroom drama' in the context of film). With the exception of the tribunal play as a widely acknowledged dramatic subcategory, the following therefore avoids such generic labelling. This resistance against generic pigeonholing is also reflected in the diverse functions dramatic trials may serve; as explained in more detail below, they further suspense or channel voyeuristic impulses, negotiate individual or collective responsibilities and identities, interrogate constructions of 'truth', debate moral questions, intervene into socio-political discourse, or criticise legal institutions.
Nonsingular Black Holes in $f(R)$ Theories

description: We study the structure of a family of static, spherically symmetric space-times generated by an anisotropic fluid and governed by a particular type of $f(R)$ theory. We find that for a range of parameters with physical interest, such solutions represent black holes with the central singularity replaced by a finite size wormhole. We show that time-like geodesics and null geodesics with nonzero angular momentum never reach the wormhole throat due to an infinite potential barrier. For null radial geodesics, it takes an infinite affine time to reach the wormhole. This means that the resulting space-time is geodesically complete and, therefore, nonsingular despite the generic existence of curvature divergences at the wormhole throat.
