description: Within the nonparametric regression model with unknown regression function $l$ and independent, symmetric errors, a new multiscale signed rank statistic is introduced and a conditional multiple test of the simple hypothesis $l=0$ against a nonparametric alternative is proposed. This test is distribution-free and exact for finite samples even in the heteroscedastic case. It adapts in a certain sense to the unknown smoothness of the regression function under the alternative, and it is uniformly consistent against alternatives whose sup-norm tends to zero at the fastest possible rate. The test is shown to be asymptotically optimal in two senses: It is rate-optimal adaptive against Hölder classes. Furthermore, its relative asymptotic efficiency with respect to an asymptotically minimax optimal test under sup-norm loss is close to 1 in case of homoscedastic Gaussian errors within a broad range of Hölder classes simultaneously.

description: Die bestehenden Social-Media-Plattformen erweitern sukzessive die Art, Qualität und Quantität der Daten, die sie über ihre Nutzer:innen erheben. Zu bereits früher aufgezeichneten Daten kommen diverse neue Arten hinzu: Hierzu gehören Körperbewegungen, wie die Handgesten, mit denen die Geräte gesteuert werden, die Augenbewegungen, die von vielen Geräten erfasst werden, aber auch Faktoren wie die menschliche Stimme, oder Herzschläge und Gehirnaktivitäten.
Neben der simplen Identifizierung von Individuen erlauben diese verhaltensbiometrische Merkmale viele Rückschlüsse über Eigenschaften aufgenommener Personen, wie Alter, Geschlecht, Gesundheitszustand, aber auch die Persönlichkeit. Für die Nutzer:innen ist dabei nur noch sehr schwer zu erkennen, welche Rückschlüsse über wesentliche Informationen möglich sind.
Als Gegenmaßnahme gegen diese Privatsphäreeinschnitte haben Nutzer:innen oftmals nur die Wahl, ob eine Anwendung auf einen bestimmten Sensor vollständig zugreifen darf, oder gar nicht; wobei Letzteres oftmals damit verbunden ist, dass die Anwendung nicht mehr wie gewünscht, oder gar nicht mehr funktioniert.
Um dieser Diskrepanz zwischen Datenschutz und immer weitreichenderer Datensammlung zu begegnen, bedarf es zunächst Untersuchungen über die in solchen biometrischen Daten enthaltenen Informationen. Zusätzlich werden neuartige Privatsphäre-Einstellungen nötig, in welchen die Nutzer:innen nicht nur wählen können, ob Daten geteilt werden (z.B. von bestimmten Sensoren), sondern auch ob private Eigenschaften durch Anonymisierungstechniken vor dem Teilen entfernt werden sollen.

description: It is still debated whether the low-doping Fermi surface of cuprates is composed of hole pockets or of disconnected Fermi arcs. Results from cellular dynamical mean field theory (c-DMFT) support the Fermi arcs hypothesis by predicting corresponding Fermi arcs for the Hubbard model. Here, we introduce a simple parametrization of the self-energy, in the spirit of Yang-Rice-Zhang theory, and show that state of the art c-CDMFT calculations cannot give a definitive answer to the question of Fermi arcs vs holes pockets, and this, independently of the periodization (cumulant or Green's function) used to display spectral weights of the infinite lattice. Indeed, when our model is restricted to a cluster and periodized like in c-DMFT, only two adjustable parameters suffice to reproduce the qualitative details of the frequency and momentum dependence of the low energy c-DMFT spectral weight for both periodizations. In other words, even though our starting model has a Fermi surface composed of hole and electron pockets, it leads to Fermi arcs when restricted to a cluster and periodized like in c-DMFT. We provide a new "compact tiling" scheme to recover the hole and electron pockets of our starting non-interacting lattice model, suggesting that better periodization schemes might exist.

description: The charged pion form factor, Fpi(Q^2), is an important quantity which can be used to advance our knowledge of hadronic structure. However, the extraction of Fpi from data requires a model of the 1H(e,e'pi+)n reaction, and thus is inherently model dependent. Therefore, a detailed description of the extraction of the charged pion form factor from electroproduction data obtained recently at Jefferson Lab is presented, with particular focus given to the dominant uncertainties in this procedure. Results for Fpi are presented for Q^2=0.60-2.45 GeV^2. Above Q^2=1.5 GeV^2, the Fpi values are systematically below the monopole parameterization that describes the low Q^2 data used to determine the pion charge radius. The pion form factor can be calculated in a wide variety of theoretical approaches, and the experimental results are compared to a number of calculations. This comparison is helpful in understanding the role of soft versus hard contributions to hadronic structure in the intermediate Q^2 regime.

description: We review dilaton chiral perturbation theory (dChPT), the effective low-energy theory for the light sector of near-conformal, confining theories. dChPT provides a systematic expansion in both the fermion mass and the distance to the conformal window. It accounts for the pions and the light scalar, the approximate Nambu-Goldstone bosons for chiral and scale symmetry, respectively. A unique feature of dChPT is the existence of a large-mass regime in which the theory exhibits approximate hyperscaling, while the expansion nevertheless remains systematic. We discuss applications to lattice data, presenting successes as well as directions for future work.

description: A model of inhomogeneous baryogenesis based on the Affleck and Dine mechanism is described. A simple coupling of the scalar baryon field to the inflaton allows for formation of astronomically significant bubbles with a large baryon (or antibaryon) asymmetry. During the farther evolution these domains form compact stellar-like objects, or lower density clouds, or primordial black holes of different size. According to the scenario, such high baryonic number objects occupy relatively small fraction of space but despite that they may significantly contribute to the cosmological mass density. For some values of parameters the model allows the possibility the whole dark matter in the universe to be baryonic. Furthermore, the model allows the existence of the antibaryonic B-bubbles, i.e. a significant fraction of the mass density in the universe can be in the form of the compact antimatter objects (e.g. anti-stars).

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Sequence analysis of tRNA 7 ser from Drosophila melanogaster was carried out, primarily by the formamide degradation and post-labeling method of Stanley and Vassilenko. Preliminary analysis was on the terminal nucleoside-5', 3'-bis [51 - ³²P] phosphates of electrophoretically separated [51 - ³²P] ribooligonucleotides, identifying the [³² P]-nucleotides by chromatography on PEI-cel1ulose plates. Further analysis of possible modified nucleotides was performed by thin layer chromatography of [5' -³²P] nucleoside phosphates derived by nuclease P-j digestion from [51 - ³²P] oligomers. The partial sequence generated in this fashion was supplemented by ladder gel sequence analysis of [51 - P]tRNA ser , and to a limited extent by two dimensional homochromatography. In this way, a sequence was obtained that is complete except for part of the aminoacyl stem and the 5'-end of the extra arm. The data are consistent with a sequence for tRNAser of pGCAGmUUGUGGCac4CGAGCGmGDDAAGGCXUCUGA— m3CUI GAi 6AAujCAGAUmUCCCUm3CUGGGAGm5CGUAGGTijjCGm1 AAUCCUACCGACUGCNCCA.

description: Coronary heart disease (CAD) is one of the crucial reasons for cardiovascular mortality in middle-aged people worldwide. The most typical tool is angiography for diagnosing CAD. The challenges of CAD diagnosis using angiography are costly and have side effects. One of the alternative solutions is the use of machine learning-based patterns for CAD diagnosis. Hence, this paper provides a new hybrid machine learning model called Genetic Support Vector Machine and Analysis of Variance (GSVMA). The ANOVA is known as the kernel function for SVM. The proposed model is performed based on the Z-Alizadeh Sani dataset. A genetic optimization algorithm is used to select crucial features. In addition, SVM with Anova, Linear SVM, and LibSVM with radial basis function methods were applied to classify the dataset. As a result, the GSVMA hybrid method performs better than other methods. This proposed method has the highest accuracy of 89.45% through a 10-fold cross-validation technique with 35 selected features on the Z-Alizadeh Sani dataset. Therefore, the genetic optimization algorithm is very effective for improving accuracy. The computer-aided GSVMA method can be helped clinicians with CAD diagnosis.

We demonstrate both analytically and numerically that, our scheme could be achieved efficiently to find a marked state with high fidelity and high success probability. We also show the merits of the proposal that the increase of the ion number can improve the fidelity and the success probability of the CPF gate. The required operations for Grover search are very close to the capabilities of current ion-trap techniques.

description: We study the Yukawa corrections to the gamma gamma --> b\bar{b} corss section in the topcolor assisted technicolor models at the photon-photon colliders. We find that, for the favorable parameters, the relative corrections from pseudo Goldstone bosons give out a 3.2%--5.9% decrement of the cross section from the tree level when \sqrt{s}=500 GeV, the contributions from new extended technicolor gauge bosons Z* and colored gauge bosons B are negligibly small, and the relative correction arising from new color-singlet heavy gauge boson Z' is less than -3.2%. Therefore, the total relative corrections are significantly larger than the corresponding corrections in the standard model, the general two Higgs doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Since these corrections are obvious for the International Linear Colliders, the process gamma gamma --> b\bar{b} is really interesting in testing the standard model and searching for the signs of technicolor.

description: Photometry and long-slit spectroscopy are presented for 14 S0 and spiral galaxies of the Fornax, Eridanus and Pegasus cluster, and NGC 7582 group. The structural parameters of the galaxies are derived from the R-band images by performing a two-dimensional photometric decomposition of the surface-brightness distribution. This is assumed to be the sum of the contribution of a bulge and disc component characterized by elliptical and concentric isophotes with constant (but possibly different) ellipticity and position angles. The rotation curves and velocity dispersion profiles are measured from the spectra obtained along the major axis of galaxies. The radial profiles of the Hb, Mg, and Fe line-strength indices are presented too. Correlations between the central values of Mgd, , Hb, and sigma are found. The age, metallicity and alpha/Fe enhancement of the stellar population in the center and at the radius where bulge and disc give the same contribution to the total surface brightness are obtained using stellar population models with variable element abundance ratios. Three classes of bulges are identified. The youngest bulges (~2 Gyr) with ongoing star formation, intermediate-age bulges (4-8 Gyr) have solar metallicity, and old bulges (~10 Gyr) have high metallicity. Most of the sample bulges display solar alpha/Fe enhancement, no gradient in age, and a negative gradient of metallicity. The presence of negative gradient in the metallicity radial profile favors a scenario with bulge formation via dissipative collapse. (abridged)

description: We analyze the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra at the K edge of Mn in the antiferromagnetic insulating manganite LaMnO3. We make use of the Keldysh-type Green-function formalism, in which the RIXS intensity is described by a product of an incident-photon-dependent factor and a density-density correlation function in the 3d states. We calculate the former factor using the 4p density of states given by an ab initio band structure calculation and the latter using a multi-orbital tight-binding model. The ground state of the model Hamiltonian is evaluated within the Hartree-Fock approximation. Correlation effects are treated within the random phase approximation (RPA). We obtain the RIXS intensity in a wide range of energy-loss 2-15 eV. The spectral shape is strongly modified by the RPA correlation, showing good agreement with the experiments. The incident-photon-energy dependence also agrees well with the experiments. The present mechanism that the RIXS spectra arise from band-to-band transitions to screen the core-hole potential is quite different from the orbiton picture previously proposed, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the RIXS spectra.

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In isothermal disks the migration of protoplanets is directed inward. For small planetary masses the standard type-I migration rates are so fast that this may result in an unrealistic loss of planets into the stars. We investigate the planet-disk interaction in non-isothermal disks and analyze the magnitude and direction of migration for an extended range of planet masses. We have performed detailed two-dimensional numerical simulations of embedded planets including heating/cooling effects as well as radiative diffusion for realistic opacities. In radiative disks, small planets with M_planet < 50 M_Earth do migrate outward with a rate comparable to absolute magnitude of standard type-I migration. For larger masses the migration is inward and approaches the isothermal, type-II migration rate. Our findings are particularly important for the first growth phase of planets and ease the problem of too rapid inward type-I migration.

Automated Inversion of Attribute Mappings in Bidirectional Model Transformations
Creators: name: Kramer, Max E.
name: Rakhman, Kirill
Publisher: name: RWTH Aachen
Year: 2016

description: Bidirectional model transformations create or update a target model according to a base model and vice versa using a single transformation specification for both directions. Triple graph grammars, for example, define which model elements shall exist and how they should reference each other without repeating information for both directions. They can also copy values of simple-typed attributes, such as enumerations, strings, or numbers. But currently only the identity operator can be easily specified in bidirectional transformation languages: Other attribute mappings either have to be specified for both directions or with a special constraint language. In this paper, we present an approach that inverts attribute transformation expressions that can be written in a simple Java-like syntax. We also present an initial library of 30 operator-specific inverters that result in well-behaved view-update round-trips (GetPut) for all changes. For changes for which well-behaved update-view round-trips (PutGet) are impossible, we chose inversions that sustain as much information as possible. We realized our inversion approach for a prototypical transformation language that generates Java code. An evaluation using all 103 transformations of the ATL zoo shows that 26% of the LLOC of all non-trivial attribute transformation expressions could be inverted with our initial inverters. This may indicate that many transformation tasks could involve non-trivial attribute transformations that can easily be specified and inverted with our approach.

Kalman filter based orbit observability study
Creators: name: Shorten, Roy Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: An Extended Kalman filter simulation technique was used to determine the observability of satellite orbits from one or two earth stations. It was found that range and range-rate measurements alone were insufficient for orbit determination. Either azimuth angle or elevation angle information were also required before an acceptable orbital estimate was obtained. However, range and range-rate measurements alone proved to be sufficient to improve the state estimates of approximately known orbits. Also if simultaneous range and range-rate measurements were available from two stations, orbit determination was possible. Various common orbital types were used throughout the study and only one pass of data was considered.

description: Continual learning has been a major problem in the deep learning community, where the main challenge is how to effectively learn a series of newly arriving tasks without forgetting the knowledge of previous tasks. Initiated by Learning without Forgetting (LwF), many of the existing works report that knowledge distillation is effective to preserve the previous knowledge, and hence they commonly use a soft label for the old task, namely a knowledge distillation (KD) loss, together with a class label for the new task, namely a cross entropy (CE) loss, to form a composite loss for a single neural network. However, this approach suffers from learning the knowledge by a CE loss as a KD loss often more strongly influences the objective function when they are in a competitive situation within a single network. This could be a critical problem particularly in a class incremental scenario, where the knowledge across tasks as well as within the new task, both of which can only be acquired by a CE loss, is essentially learned due to the existence of a unified classifier. In this paper, we propose a novel continual learning method, called Split-and-Bridge, which can successfully address the above problem by partially splitting a neural network into two partitions for training the new task separated from the old task and re-connecting them for learning the knowledge across tasks. In our thorough experimental analysis, our Split-and-Bridge method outperforms the state-of-the-art competitors in KD-based continual learning.

description: By using numerical simulation, we confirm that Takayasu--Sato--Takayasu (TST) model which leads Pareto's law satisfies the detailed balance under Gibrat's law. In the simulation, we take an exponential tent-shaped function as the growth rate distribution. We also numerically confirm the reflection law equivalent to the equation which gives the Pareto index $μ$ in TST model. Moreover, we extend the model modifying the stochastic coefficient under a Non-Gibrat's law. In this model, the detailed balance is also numerically observed. The resultant pdf is power-law in the large scale Gibrat's law region, and is the log-normal distribution in the middle scale Non-Gibrat's one. These are accurately confirmed in the numerical simulation.

description: We publicly release the spectroscopic and photometric redshift catalog of the sources detected with Chandra in the field of the $z$=6.3 quasar SDSS J1030+0525. This is currently the fifth deepest X-ray field, and reaches a 0.5-2 keV flux limit $f_{\rm 0.5-2}$=6$\times$10$^{-17}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$. By using two independent methods, we measure a photometric redshift for 243 objects, while 123 (51%) sources also have a spectroscopic redshift, 110 of which coming from an INAF-Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) Strategic Program. We use the spectroscopic redshifts to determine the quality of the photometric ones, and find it in agreement with that of other X-ray surveys which used a similar number of photometric data-points. In particular, we measure a sample normalized median absolute deviation $σ_{NMAD}$=1.48||$z_{phot}$-$z_{spec}$||/(1+$z_{spec}$)=0.065. We use these new spectroscopic and photometric redshifts to study the properties of the Chandra J1030 field. We observe several peaks in our spectroscopic redshift distribution between $z$=0.15 and $z$=1.5, and find that the sources in each peak are often distributed across the whole Chandra field of view. This evidence confirms that X-ray selected AGN can efficiently track large-scale structures over physical scales of several Mpc. Finally, we computed the Chandra J1030 $z>$3 number counts: while the spectroscopic completeness at high-redshift of our sample is limited, our results point towards a potential source excess at $z\geq$4, which we plan to either confirm or reject in the near future with dedicated spectroscopic campaigns.

description: The need to regularize loop integrals in a manner that preserves gauge invariance, for example, using the Pauli-Villars method, requires a subtraction that in the large mass limit hides its high momentum origin. This gives rise to the illusion that only nonrelativistic kaon loop momenta are relevant, when in fact this is not the case, as we show.

description: Studies have shown that remnants of destroyed planets and debris-disk planetesimals can survive the volatile evolution of their host stars into white dwarfs, but detection of intact planetary bodies around white dwarfs are few. Simulations predict that planets in Jupiter-like orbits around stars of $\lt 8 M_\odot$ avoid being destroyed by the strong tidal forces of their stellar host, but as yet there has been no observational confirmation of such a survivor. Here we report on the non-detection of a main-sequence lens star in the microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-477Lb using near-infrared observations from the Keck Observatory. We determine this system contains a $0.53\pm0.11$ solar mass white dwarf host orbited by a $1.4 \pm 0.3$ Jupiter mass planet with a separation on the plane of the sky of $2.8\pm 0.5$ AU, which implies a semi-major axis larger than this. This system is evidence that planets around white dwarfs can survive the giant and asymptotic giant phases of their host's evolution, and supports the prediction that over half of white dwarfs are predicted to have Jovian planetary companions. Located at approximately 2.0 kpc toward the center of our Galaxy, it likely represents an analog to the end stages of the Sun and Jupiter in our own Solar System.

Local phase space control and interplay of classical and quantum effects in dissociation of a driven Morse oscillator

description: This work explores the possibility of controlling the dissociation of a monochromatically driven one-dimensional Morse oscillator by recreating barriers, in the form of invariant tori with irrational winding ratios, at specific locations in the phase space. The control algorithm proposed by Huang {\it et al.} (Phys. Rev. A {\bf 74}, 053408 (2006)) is used to obtain an analytic expression for the control field. We show that the control term, approximated as an additional weaker field, is efficient in recreating the desired tori and suppresses the classical as well as the quantum dissociation. However, in the case when the field frequency is tuned close to a two-photon resonance the local barriers are not effective in suppressing the dissociation. We establish that in the on-resonant case quantum dissociation primarily occurs via resonance-assisted tunneling and controlling the quantum dynamics requires a local perturbation of the specific nonlinear resonance in the underlying phase space.

Carmen grece et latine: Liturgical Chants as Points of Contact between Byzantium and the West?
Creators: name: Wanek, Nina-Maria
Publisher: name: Series Musicologica Balcanica
Year: 2021
Subjects: Missa graeca, Byzantine chant, Gregorian chant, medieval music, doxology

description: Between approx. the 9th and 12th cent. liturgical chants with transliterated Greek text occur in Western manuscripts in a variety of regions (e.g. France, Italy, England and the German-speaking countries). Most famous are the ordinary-chants (Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei) of the so-called “Missa Graeca”, but also 49 various others such as Alleluia-chants, antiphones for Christmas, Easter and Pentecost or the Cherubic hymn can be found in these manuscripts. Although these chants are regarded as a paradigm for interculturality between Byzantium and the West in the middle-ages, many questions still remain unsolved. The paper will therefore concentrate on the following central issues with regard to the transmission of liturgical chants: • How can these chants have come to the West and/or who might have set Greek texts to music using perhaps a Byzantine model? • To which extent could a cultural transfer have happened between Byzantium and the West in medieval times and in which way might Eastern and Western liturgical music have indeed influenced each other? • What can the West have prompted to actually include chants with Greek texts in the manuscripts? • How was the usage of Greek in liturgical chants regarded in contemporary sources? Were Greek-texted chants seen as something “foreign/exotic” or belonging to oneʼs own cultural heritage? • Did the Greek chants have a purely decorative function or were they meant to stress the universality of the church? The paper will offer a reevaluation of the sources, a new assessment of the myths and facts surrounding the chants in questions as well as a discussion of new results from the current research project on the “Cultural transfer of music between Byzantium and the West”.

description: The main purpose of immunity and the evolutionary justification for its appearance is to protect the body from biological aggression, which is carried out in two main forms – external and internal. The immune State indicates the total number of individual reactions that, when interacting with the environment, can develop from normal reactions to pathological reactions. The human body cannot be considered a bioindicator of environmental assessment. A person can get sick with any acute disease, but this does not mean that in the human environment there are all kinds of pathogenic bacteria.
"Dance Music" in Byzantium and the Balkans
Creators: name: Liveri, Angeliki
Publisher: name: Series Musicologica Balcanica
Year: 2021
Subjects: Byzantium, Balkan, Art, Music, Dance

description: This paper will present a selection of representations belonging to Byzantine art, which show dance performances accompanied by music, by focusing on the time frame from the early to the late Byzantine period. Such pictures appear in various kinds of Byzantine art (e.g. wall paintings, sculptures, ivories, and illuminated manuscripts). However, only in a few of them, musicians and their musical instruments are depicted. Only a small number of these motifs is available. Most of these illustrations are linked with religious texts (New or Old Testament and psalms). Greek mythology also inspired a great number of them. Very few have a secular character inspired by literature or historical events. The representations will be combined and compared with references in written sources and archaeological remains. Songs, dance and music were performed in various occasions and places, e.g. in the imperial palace, in aristocratic palaces, in houses of ordinary people, in public places and in the countryside. This paper aims to highlight the presence of music at the dances in Byzantium, as well as the similarities and differences of these motifs in the contemporary art of the Balkan countries, which were under its cultural influence (e.g. Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania), making comparisons among the works originating from these regions.

The Modes of the Orthodox Church Chant in South Transylvania
Creators: name: Moisil, Costin
Publisher: name: Series Musicologica Balcanica
Year: 2021
Subjects: Byzantine music, Dimitrie Cunțan, formula, free rhythm

description: The Orthodox church chant from South Transylvania is a variant of the Byzantine chant. It was transmitted almost exclusively orally until 1890, when priest Dimitrie Cunțan published a volume in Western notation containing the most used pieces. The volume was used as a handbook for the cantors ever since, but oral tradition has continued to play a very important role even today. In this paper, I present the main issues to be investigated in order to achieve a theory of modes for the South Transylvania chant, pointing to a few particular aspects of this music. Research has to take into account both written sources and audio recordings. For the latter, one can use the database including recordings from about 100 cantors (age 29 to 87) made in 2002–2005 by Rev. Vasile Grăjdian and his assistants. The theory of modes should not confine only to the description of scales, dominant degrees, cadences, unstable degrees etc. It would be useful for such a theory to also list the formulas of every mode and reveal the rules of concatenating the formulas in a performance, and to describe the significant variations of tempo that are embedded in these formulas and modes as well.

Cinchona alkaloids and BINOL derivatives 
as privileged catalysts or ligands in asymmetric synthesis
Creators: name: Paradisi, Enrico <1986>

Subjects: CHIM/06 Chimica organica

description: During the last fifteen years organocatalysis emerged as a powerful tool for the enantioselective functionalization of the most different organic molecules. Both C-C and C-heteroatom bonds can be formed in an enantioselective fashion using many types of catalyst and the field is always growing. Many kind of chiral catalysts have emerged as privileged, but among them Proline, cinchona alkaloids, BINOL, and their derivatives showed to be particularly useful chiral scaffolds.
This thesis, after a short presentation of many organocatalysts and activation modes, focuses mainly on cinchona alkaloid derived primary amines and BINOL derived chiral Brønsted acids, describing their properties and applications.
Then, in the experimental part, these compounds are used for the catalysis of new transformations.
The enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of cyclic enones with naphthols using cinchona alkaloid derived primary amines as catalysts is presented and discussed. The results of this work were very good and this resulted also in a publication.
The same catalysts are then used to accomplish the enantioselective addition of indoles to cyclic enones. Many catalysts in combination with many acids as co-catalysts were tried and the reaction was fully studied. Selective N-alkylation was obtained  in many cases, in combination with quite good to good enantioselectivities.  Also other kind of catalysis were tried for this reaction, with interesting results.
Another aza-Michael reaction between OH-free hydroxylamines and nitrostyrene using cinchona alkaloid derived thioureas is briefly discussed.
Then our attention focused on Brønsted acid catalyzed transformations.
With this regard, the Prins cyclization, a reaction never accomplished in an enantioselective fashion until now, is presented and developed. The results obtained are promising.
In the last part of this thesis the work carried out abroad is presented. 
In Prof. Rueping laboratories, an enantioselective Nazarov cyclization using cooperative catalysis and the enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-hydrobenzoin catalyzed by Brønsted acid were studied.
The Character of the Keys in the Music of the Classical and Romantic Period
Creators: name: Staubli, Raphael
Publisher: name: Series Musicologica Balcanica

Subjects: science versus speculation, keys and colours

description: To discuss the character of keys in tonal music is a task between speculation and science based on facts. The purpose of this essay is to identify empirical facts on which individual traits of a given key are based. At the same time, I was keen on leaving room for the imagination, which plays an essential role in this context. On the one hand, it was my aim to conduct research which yields concrete results; on the other, I wanted to maintain an open-minded approach so as not to lose or narrow down the great range of feelings associated with individual keys. I also discuss a number of varying and contradictory approaches to the subject. In addition, I have included some thoughts on the much-disputed interconnectedness of key and colour. I examined a limited number of examples - by Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann and others - because I was primarily interested in pointing out relatable reasons for a given key’s perceived character and not necessarily in comparing a maximum number of compositions.
