description: Die »Kritik der Tragödie« ist in erster Linie Kritik an der philosophischen Tragödientheorie, die darauf hinausläuft, das tragische Geschehen als notwendig zu behaupten. Der höhere Sinn, den es durch die Theorie empfängt, hat den Preis einer Affirmation des Schicksals: mithin den Preis der Freiheit. Die These der vorliegenden Untersuchung besteht darin, dass die Tragödien das nicht hergeben. Jede Tragödie ist Darstellung und Kritik des Tragischen; sie ist, dem doppelten Sinn des Genitivs folgend, das Medium ihrer Selbstkritik. Die Gattung ist, von ihren griechischen Anfängen bis zu den späten Produktionen des 20. Jahrhunderts, viel »brechtscher« als ihr Ruf: Brecht selbst, verfangen in die politischen Kämpfe mit dem Einfühlungstheater des 19. Jahrhunderts, mochte nicht wahrhaben, in welchem Grade ihm das klassische Theater der vorbürgerlichen Periode ein Bundesgenosse hätte sein können. Diese These wird an einem Textkorpus durchgeführt, das sich in den weitläufigen Bahnen des Orestie-Stoffs bewegt und von der Aischyleischen ›Orestie‹ bis zu Hofmannsthal und Heiner Müller reicht. Methodisch lebt die Arbeit aus der Spannung zwischen dem systematischen Ansatz und der Überzeugung, dass es allein der exaktesten philologischen Arbeit gelingen kann, das kritische Potenzial der Tragödie gegen den tragödientheoretischen common sense zu bergen. Eine Reihe grundlegender Neulektüren klassischer Stücke hat sich aus diesem Verfahren ergeben. Das besondere Augenmerk der Untersuchung liegt dabei auf Phänomenen dramatischer Entschleunigung. Angefangen von den Chorliedern, den »songs« der griechischen Tragödie, bildet sich vor allem in ihnen die Tragödie in ein Reflexionsmedium ihrer selbst um. Schicksal, das ist die Zeit in ihrer beschleunigten Form heißt es bei Jean Giraudoux, und so ist es für die tragische Form kennzeichnend, dass die Einheit von Darstellung und Kritik des Schicksals sich im Gegenschnitt von Beschleunigung und Verlangsamung realisiert.

description: This paper builds on recent work on Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) in the non-linear observer community, by framing the visual localisation and mapping problem as a continuous-time equivariant observer design problem on the symmetry group of a kinematic system. The state-space is a quotient of the robot pose expressed on SE(3) and multiple copies of real projective space, used to represent both points in space and bearings in a single unified framework. An observer with decoupled Riccati-gains for each landmark is derived and we show that its error system is almost globally asymptotically stable and exponentially stable in-the-large.

description: We study the mixing of chemical species in the interstellar medium (ISM). Recent observations suggest that the distribution of species such as deuterium in the ISM may be far from homogeneous. This raises the question of how long it takes for inhomogeneities to be erased in the ISM, and how this depends on the length scale of the inhomogeneities. We added a tracer field to the three-dimensional, supernova-driven ISM model of Avillez (2000) to study mixing and dispersal in kiloparsec-scale simulations of the ISM with different supernova (SN) rates and different inhomogeneity length scales. We find several surprising results. Classical mixing length theory fails to predict the very weak dependence of mixing time on length scale that we find on scales of 25--500 pc. Derived diffusion coefficients increase exponentially with time, rather than remaining constant. The variance of composition declines exponentially, with a time constant of tens of Myr, so that large differences fade faster than small ones. The time constant depends on the inverse square root of the supernova rate. One major reason for these results is that even with numerical diffusion exceeding physical values, gas does not mix quickly between hot and cold regions.

description: Though black-box predictors are state-of-the-art for many complex tasks, they often fail to properly quantify predictive uncertainty and may provide inappropriate predictions for unfamiliar data. Instead, we can learn more reliable models by letting them either output a prediction set or abstain when the uncertainty is high. We propose training these selective prediction-set models using an uncertainty-aware loss minimization framework, which unifies ideas from decision theory and robust maximum likelihood. Moreover, since black-box methods are not guaranteed to output well-calibrated prediction sets, we show how to calculate point estimates and confidence intervals for the true coverage of any selective prediction-set model, as well as a uniform mixture of K set models obtained from K-fold sample-splitting. When applied to predicting in-hospital mortality and length-of-stay for ICU patients, our model outperforms existing approaches on both in-sample and out-of-sample age groups, and our recalibration method provides accurate inference for prediction set coverage.

description: It was the sudden resurgence of violence in 2006 that brought Southeast Asia’s newest nation – East Timor – back to the forefront of public attention, and spotlighted the role of youth gangs as main perpetrators of street violence in East Timor’s capital Dili. Based on fieldwork conducted in 2007, this paper challenges conventional myths about an aggressive East Timorese ‘youth bulge’ by using theoretical notions on the construction of masculinities and violence as tools for analysis. The paper will portray gangs against the structural background of major socio-economic transformations accelerated by the international intervention and experiences of violence during Indonesian occupation as active agents strategically using violence as resource for (identity) politics.
Holographic Dual of Crosscap Conformal Field Theory

description: We propose a holographic dual for 2D CFT defined on closed non-orientable manifolds, such as the real projective plane $\mathbb{RP}^2$ and the Klein bottle $\mathbb{K}^2$. Such CFT can be constructed by introducing antipodally identified cuttings, i.e. crosscaps, to a sphere and hence called crosscap CFT (XCFT). The gravity dual is AdS$_3$ spacetime with dS$_2$ end-of-the-world branes. In particular, the Lorentzian spacetime with a global dS$_2$ brane is dual to the unitary time evolution of a crosscap state in CFT, post-selected on the CFT ground state. We compute the holographic $\mathbb{RP}^2$ partition function (or the $p$-function), one-point function, and $\mathbb{K}^2$ partition function, and see that they successfully reproduce the XCFT results. We also show a holographic $p$-theorem as an application.

description: We developed a coupled regional climate system model based on the CCLM regional climate model. Within this model system, using OASIS3-MCT as a coupler, CCLM can be coupled to two land surface models (the Community Land Model (CLM) and VEG3D), the NEMO-MED12 regional ocean model for the Mediterranean Sea, two ocean models for the North and Baltic seas (NEMO-NORDIC and TRIMNP+CICE) and the MPI-ESM Earth system model. We first present the different model components and the unified OASIS3-MCT interface which handles all couplings in a consistent way, minimising the model source code modifications and defining the physical and numerical aspects of the couplings. We also address specific coupling issues like the handling of different domains, multiple usage of the MCT library and exchange of 3-D fields. We analyse and compare the computational performance of the different couplings based on real-case simulations over Europe. The usage of the LUCIA tool implemented in OASIS3-MCT enables the quantification of the contributions of the coupled components to the overall coupling cost. These individual contributions are (1) cost of the model(s) coupled, (2) direct cost of coupling including horizontal interpolation and communication between the components, (3) load imbalance, (4) cost of different usage of processors by CCLM in coupled and stand-alone mode and (5) residual cost including i.a. CCLM additional computations. Finally a procedure for finding an optimum processor configuration for each of the couplings was developed considering the time to solution, computing cost and parallel efficiency of the simulation. The optimum configurations are presented for sequential, concurrent and mixed (sequential+concurrent) coupling layouts. The procedure applied can be regarded as independent of the specific coupling layout and coupling details. We found that the direct cost of coupling, i.e. communications and horizontal interpolation, in OASIS3-MCT remains below 7 % of the CCLM stand-alone cost for all couplings investigated. This is in particular true for the exchange of 450 2-D fields between CCLM and MPI-ESM. We identified remaining limitations in the coupling strategies and discuss possible future improvements of the computational efficiency.

description: The present review discusses recent developments in numerical techniques for the solution of systems with stochastic uncertainties. Such systems are modelled by stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), and techniques for their discretisation by stochastic finite elements (SFEM) are reviewed. Also, short overviews of related fields are given, e.g. of mathematical properties of random fields and SPDEs and of techniques for high-dimensional integration. After a summary of aspects of stochastic analysis, models and representations of random variables are presented. Then mathematical theories for SPDEs with stochastic operator are reviewed. Discretisation-techniques for random fields and for SPDEs are summarised and solvers for the resulting discretisations are reviewed, where the main focus lies on series expansions in the stochastic dimensions with an emphasis on Galerkin-schemes.

description: If a stochastic model is used to describe uncertainties, the physical system may be described by a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE). A discretisation by a Galerkin ansatz with tensor-products of finite element functions and stochastic ansatz functions yields a large system of equations that can be efficiently solved by iterative methods. Due to its sheer size, parallel techniques are required, and we have implemented a ``hierarchical parallel solver'' for this: our solver uses a (possibly parallel) deterministic solver for the spatial discretisation. Coarser grained levels of parallelism are implemented by distributing the unknowns over the processors and by running different instances of the (possibly parallel) deterministic solver in parallel.

description: We investigate the regulator problem (tracking and disturbance rejection) for a system (plant) described by a boundary controlled anti-stable linear one-dimensional Schrodinger equation, using the backstepping approach. The output to be controlled is not required to be measurable and its observation operator is assumed to be admissible for a certain operator semigroup that is related to the operator semigroup of the original plant. We consider both the state feedback and the output feedback regulator problem. In the latter case, the measurement from the Schrodinger equation is taken at the boundary. First we show that the open-loop system is well-posed. We design a state feedback control law that solves the regulator problem by the backstepping method. Then, a finite-dimensional reference observer and an infinite-dimensional disturbance observer are designed. Putting these together, we obtain an output feedback controller with internal loop that achieves output regulation.

description: The antiferromagnetism in transition metal compounds is mostly mediated by the bridging anions through a so-called superexchange mechanism. However, in materials like normal spinels $AB_2X_4$ with local moments only at the $A$ site, such an anion-mediated superexchange needs to be modified. Here we report a new spinel compound Co$_{1+x}$Ir$_{2-x}$S$_4$ ($x$ = 0.3). The physical property measurements strongly suggest an antiferromagnetic-like transition at 292 K in the Co($A$) diamond sublattice. The first-principle calculations reveal that the nearest-neighbor Co($A$) spins align antiferromagnetically with an ordered magnetic moment of 1.67 $μ_\mathrm{B}$, smaller than the expected $S = 3/2$ for Co$^{2+}$. In the antiferromagnetic state, there exists an inter-cation charge-transfer gap between the non-bonding Ir-$t_\mathrm{2g}$ orbitals at the valence band maximum and the Co-S antibonding molecular orbitals at the conduction band minimum. The small charge transfer energy significantly enhances the virtual hopping between these two states, facilitating a robust long-range superexchange interaction between two neighboring CoS$_4$ complexes, which accounts for the high Néel temperature in Co$_{1+x}$Ir$_{2-x}$S$_4$. This inter-cation charge transfer mediated magnetic interaction expands the traditional superexchange theory, which could be applicable in complex magnetic materials with multiple cations.

description: Due to the high childhood obesity rates within the United States, it is necessary to develop efficacious strategies to combat childhood obesity.  To explore whether early intervention can produce lasting metabolic improvements, we used a mouse model of genetically-induced hypothalamic leptin resistance (LeprNkx2.1knockout, hereby known as KO) that exhibits early-onset hyperphagia and obesity.  We found that KO mice exhibit reduced capacity of the brown adipose tissue (as seen by disorganized mitochondrial structure).  Brown adipose tissue capacity can be restored by paired-feeding in the peri-weaning period, leading to persistent improvements in later adiposity even after restriction ends.  These studies lead us to investigate the maturation process of brown adipose tissue in the peri-weaning period.  We found that brown adipose tissue expansion between 2 to 3 weeks of age is accompanied by a reduced thermogenic capacity in control mice, as determined by protein levels of uncoupling protein 1 and disorganization of the mitochondrial cristae.  Thermogenic function was restored by 5 weeks of age, as demonstrated by a peak of uncoupling protein 1, in control mice but not KO mice.  Paired-feeding of KO mice in the peri-weaning period rescued this peak at 5 weeks of age.  These studies elucidate a critical period when brown adipose tissue expansion is followed by activation.  The magnitude of brown adipose tissue activation at this time might be predictive of future obesity and metabolic rate, highlighting a potential therapeutic time window in which to intervene in pediatric obesity.

description: Scientific cooperation is an important part of the European Union (EU)’s policy approach towards the countries in its neighbourhood. This has opened up many opportunities for cooperation in the areas of science, technology, research, and innovation between the EU and the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries. This working paper reviews the institutional and policy parameters of scientific cooperation between the EU and three EaP countries – Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine. It provides an overview of the science policies in these countries, focusing on the lasting impact of their shared communist legacies and post-Soviet transitions, as well as on their current strategies, institutions, and ambitions in the domain of science, research and development policy. The paper also reviews the place of scientific cooperation in the EU’s science and external policies, focusing on relations with the neighbourhood and the EaP countries in particular. We also take stock of the existing programmes for scientific and educational cooperation and academic mobility between the EU and EaP countries. We present an inventory of relevant projects, with a discussion of the progress, level of participation of the research communities in the EaP, and other relevant parameters, such as the distribution of projects and participating institutions across broad scientific fields as well as disciplines. Altogether, we find that Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine have registered a considerable degree of participation in the science and research programmes of the EU, but we also identify a number of barriers and structural impediments to a more successful partnership.

description: Parsing is essential for a wide range of use cases, such as stream processing, bulk loading, and in-situ querying of raw data. Yet, the compute-intense step often constitutes a major bottleneck in the data ingestion pipeline, since parsing of inputs that require more involved parsing rules is challenging to parallelise. This work proposes a massively parallel algorithm for parsing delimiter-separated data formats on GPUs. Other than the state-of-the-art, the proposed approach does not require an initial sequential pass over the input to determine a thread's parsing context. That is, how a thread, beginning somewhere in the middle of the input, should interpret a certain symbol (e.g., whether to interpret a comma as a delimiter or as part of a larger string enclosed in double-quotes). Instead of tailoring the approach to a single format, we are able to perform a massively parallel FSM simulation, which is more flexible and powerful, supporting more expressive parsing rules with general applicability. Achieving a parsing rate of as much as 14.2 GB/s, our experimental evaluation on a GPU with 3584 cores shows that the presented approach is able to scale to thousands of cores and beyond. With an end-to-end streaming approach, we are able to exploit the full-duplex capabilities of the PCIe bus and hide latency from data transfers. Considering the end-to-end performance, the algorithm parses 4.8 GB in as little as 0.44 seconds, including data transfers.

description: It has been shown that space-time coordinates can exhibit only very few types of short-distance structures, if described by linear operators: they can be continuous, discrete or "unsharp" in one of two ways. In the literature, various quantum gravity models of space-time at short distances point towards one of these two types of unsharpness. Here, we investigate the properties of fields over such unsharp coordinates. We find that these fields are continuous - but possess only a finite density of degrees of freedom, similar to fields on lattices. We observe that this type of unsharpness is technically the same as the aperture induced unsharpness of optical images. It is also of the same type as the unsharpness of the time-resolution of bandlimited electronic signals. Indeed, as a special case we recover the Shannon sampling theorem of information theory.

description: To provide information that can support natural vegetation restoration in karst areas, we investigated the change rules of soil microbial communities during vegetation succession from bare rock to arboreal forest using high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that vegetation succession did not cause significant changes in alpha diversity of soil microbial communities. The main bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria during vegetation succession. There was a shift from Ascomycota to Basidiomycota during succession, and the relative abundance of Basidiomycota in arboreal rhizosphere soil was the highest; this promoted mycorrhizal formation with the trees and mineral nutrient absorption by the host. Most of the symbiotic networks between soil microorganisms showed cooperative relationships. We propose that the dominant microbes contributed to the biological weathering of limestone and soil evolution under vascular plants. Furthermore, the findings of this study can help improve soil properties by providing insight into how to adjust microbial composition.

description: Urban schools exist within everyday parlance as an ongoing quandary within American public schools. However, historical, social, cultural, and discursive meanings intersect and compose urban school contexts (re)producing what is known and understandable. Early–career teachers work within these intersections. How they work within and think about these intersections influence their teaching and classroom pedagogical practices. In other words, urban school discourses influence and impact curriculum, which is navigated and mediated by early–career teachers. Through Critical Race Theory and poststructural lenses, this research interrogates normative assumptions and interpretations undergirding these historical (re)productions which often constitute the families and students within these school communities.
      I conducted this study through individual interviews and a focus group session with six teachers who graduated from a graduate–level, university–based Urban Teacher Residency teacher preparation program and who have worked completed between three to six years as teachers in urban school settings. By focusing on the lived experiences of these early–career teachers, this study contributes to teacher education programs and to in–service induction teaching. These early–career teachers navigate district– and school–level discourses, both professionally in how they conduct their classrooms and personally in how they process their emotional lives. They continuously seek ways in which to maintain their vision for social justice and equity within urban school settings and to maintain an ethic of care for their students. Therefore, the analysis includes my reading and interpretation of teacher and student discourses within these conversations. Throughout these interpretations, I write through, integrate, and interrogate my own experiences and positionalities as an African–American woman, former student, and educator in urban school contexts. Finally, I construct a counter–story in which the teachers grapple with and support an ethic of care for their students. Counter–stories center the voices and experiences of teachers of color as they attend to systemic school inequalities. This research provides a platform for examining and revising the oft–repeated stories of urban schools so that they might become vehicles for transforming structural and cultural norms that have subordinated access and equity for all students, and especially in the context of urban schools, students of color.
Galactic porosity and a star formation threshold for the escape of ionising radiation from galaxies

description: The spatial distribution of star formation within galaxies strongly affects the resulting feedback processes. Previous work has considered the case of a single, concentrated nuclear starburst, and also that of distributed single supernovae (SNe). Here, we consider ISM structuring by SNe originating in spatially distributed clusters having a cluster membership spectrum given by the observed HII region luminosity function. We show that in this case, the volume of HI cleared per SN is considerably greater than in either of the two cases considered hitherto. We derive a simple relationship between the ``porosity'' of the ISM and the star formation rate (SFR), and deduce a critical SFR_crit, at which the ISM porosity is unity. This critical value describes the case in which the SN mechanical energy output over a timescale t_e is comparable with the ISM ``thermal'' energy contained in random motions; t_e is the duration of SN mechanical input per superbubble. This condition also defines a critical gas consumption timescale t_exh, which for a Salpeter IMF and random velocities of \simeq 10 km s-1 is roughly 10e10 years. We draw a link between porosity and the escape of ionising radiation from galaxies, arguing that high escape fractions are expected if SFR >~ SFR_crit. The Lyman Break Galaxies, which are presumably subject to infall on a timescale < t_exh, meet this criterion, as is consistent with the significant leakage of ionising photons inferred in these systems. We suggest the utility of this simple parameterisation of escape fraction in terms of SFR for semi-empirical models of galaxy formation and evolution and for modeling mechanical and chemical feedback effects.

Joint State Estimation Under Attack of Discrete Event Systems

description: The problem of state estimation in the setting of partially-observed discrete event systems subject to cyber attacks is considered. An operator observes a plant through a natural projection that hides the occurrence of certain events. The objective of the operator is that of estimating the current state of the system. The observation is corrupted by an attacker which can tamper with the readings of a set of sensors thus inserting some fake events or erasing some observations. The aim of the attacker is that of altering the state estimation of the operator. An automaton, called joint estimator, is defined to describe the set of all possible attacks. In more details, an unbounded joint estimator is obtained by concurrent composition of two state observers, the attacker observer and the operator observer. The joint estimator shows, for each possible corrupted observation, the joint state estimation, i.e., the set of states consistent with the uncorrupted observation and the set of states consistent with the corrupted observation. Such a structure can be used to establish if an attack function is harmful w.r.t. a misleading relation. Our approach is also extended to the case in which the attacker may insert at most n events between two consecutive observations.

description: Erysolin and its two metabolites which were found in blood, ERY-GSH and ERY-NAC, were synthesized by alkylation, amination, isothiocyanation and oxidation reactions from 1-bromo-4-chlorobutane and sodium methyl mercaptide. The reaction temperature, time, feed ratios and purification method were also optimized. The synthesis method was simple, green, safe and low-cost. Erysolin, ERY-GSH and ERY-NAC showed good antitumor activities against MCF-7, HeLa, HepG2, A549 and SW480 cells, which suggested that the antitumor mechanism of erysolin can also be clarified from its metabolites in addition to itself.

description: The broad aim of this dissertation is to understand the early impact of HPV vaccination in females at the population level.  Three important public health questions are addressed: 1) Is HPV vaccination doing what is expected: decreasing the prevalence of vaccine-type HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18 which are etiologically linked to invasive cervical cancer and genital warts?; 2) Is there evidence of beneficial cross-protection (decreased prevalence) of any of the other non-vaccine-targeted high-risk (HR) HPV genotypes?; and 3) With the expected decline of HPV 16 and 18, are there deleterious virological consequences, such as type-replacement (increased prevalence) with a rise of non-vaccine-targeted HR HPV?  In the first chapter, I assess and synthesize peer-reviewed literature published from 2007 to 2013 that documented early impact of HPV vaccination.  Seventeen ecological studies were stratified into three tiers based on degree of vaccination impact (cervical abnormalities, genital warts, and HPV DNA) and incidence or prevalence in samples from a pre-HPV vaccination time period (pre-2007) with that of a post-vaccination time period (post-2007) were compared.  In the second chapter,  I investigate vaccine-type HPV prevalence changes between pre- and post-vaccine periods in over 8,000 females aged 14-59 years enrolled in the NHANES HPV Vaginal Swab Surveys from 2003-2010.  In the third chapter, I test for evidence of non-vaccine-targeted HR HPV genotypic cross-protection and type-replacement in NHANES Survey females from the pre- and post-vaccine periods.  Finally, I conclude the dissertation with a summary of the findings and a discussion of the public health impltcations and offer suggestions for future research.

description: The exact solution of a diffusion$-$reaction model for the trapping and annihilation of positrons at interfaces of precipitate$-$matrix composites is presented considering both cylindrical or spherical precipitates. Diffusion-limitation is taken into account for interfacial trapping from the surrounding matrix as well as from the interior of the precipitate. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the mean positron lifetime and for the intensity of the positron lifetime component associated with the interface-trapped state. The model contains as special case also positron trapping at extended open-volume defects like spherical voids or hollow cylinders. This makes the model applicable to all types of cylindrical- and spherical-shaped extended defects irrespective of their size and their number density.
