title: The economic development of second-tier city-regions in the United Kingdom: using “absorptive capacity” to theorise the “firm-territory nexus”
Creators: name: Waite, David Andrew
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2015

description: The economic development challenges facing second-tier city-regions in the United Kingdom reflect a critical dimension of policy debates concerning spatial rebalancing. The integration of multi-location firms at second-tier territorial contexts is an important aspect of rebalancing narratives, and this thesis examines what such integration may entail for the economic development of these places. Given the label of the “firm-territory nexus” by other economic geographers (Dicken and Malmberg, 2001), integration brings into focus a complex set of factors, processes and conditions. In order to grapple with and order such complexity, the conceptual framework of city-region absorptive capacity has been proposed and developed in this research. Four case studies across two second-tier UK cities, Edinburgh and Manchester, comprising interviews with elites and the collection of extensive documentary material, provides the empirical material for framework development. The research hinges on an analytical process that: first, deploys the functional form of “absorptive capacity” to provide language and broad parameters by which to approach the empirical object; and second, generates abstract categories from the empirical data to flesh out a contextually sensitive conceptual framework. Network position relative to London and labour appear as important integrating mechanisms across the case studies, though the conceptual framework demonstrates contingencies in terms of territorial and relational processes, shifting moments of structure and agency, and the overlapping institutional mosaics at play. By providing portraits of city economies in the middle ground of global economic networks, the need to articulate economic geographies of the “outside” and “inside” are also given emphasis.

description: We define a trivolution on a complex algebra $A$ as a non-zero conjugate-linear, anti-homomorphism $τ$ on $A$, which is a generalized inverse of itself, that is, $τ^3=τ$. We give several characterizations of trivolutions and show with examples that they appear naturally on many Banach algebras, particularly those arising from group algebras. We give several results on the existence or non-existence of involutions on the dual of a topologically introverted space. We investigate conditions under which the dual of a topologically introverted space admits trivolutions.

description: With the advent of automated species identification and automated trait analysis, researchers need large amounts of training data to improve methods and to gain more insights into the plasticity of traits. Herbaria all over the world have invested large amounts of money and time in collecting samples of plants. However, recent studies have shown that today's methods are not sufficiently able to generalize information acquired on traditional herbarium samples and to transfer them to living samples. This finding stimulated our research into a digital herbarium that fulfils the requirements of traditional collections, but also preserves an individual plant in its living state. Utilizing the various sensors of modern mobile devices, we developed an multi-platform app that seamlessly allows acquiring a digital herbarium sheet. The user initially decides about the life form of a plant to collect and is then being directed through an adaptive serious of image perspectives to be acquired. Completed observations are uploaded to the projects server and become part of a botanists work queue, who is carefully checking and correcting observation details and eventually approving or rejecting it. The observation's status is synced back to the user's device along with detailed information on potential problems discovered by the expert in order motivate the user and to improve observation quality. Approved observations are transferred to conservations bodies. We will demonstrate the end-to-end scenario of capturing an observation, reviewing its correctness, and propagating feedback back to the user. Through Flora Capture, users acquired more than 5,200 observations of more than 500 species already.

description: In the age of changes and threat to the ecosphere at macroecological scales, big data has crystalized as a go-to tool for ecological research. To facilitate the creation of, access to, and referencing of contributors to such big data repositories, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) has established data streams that make readily available a wealth of biodiversity data. Navigating and accessing such large data sets and ensuring fair use and accreditation of observations can seem daunting. In this workshop, we will introduce GBIF, show how to navigate its data portal, demonstrate data streams to obtain and handle data programmatically, and communicate accreditation procedures.

title: Hunc quoque carminibus referam fortasse triumphum: Zur Funktion der Triumph-Thematik in Ovids Pont. 2,1
Creators: name: Becker, Niels
Publisher: name: Heidelberg University Library
Year: 2017

description: In der augusteischen Dichtung – und besonders bei Ovid – ist das Triumph-Motiv ein häufig anzutreffendes Gestaltungselement, das in der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung bisher jedoch nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen hat. In der vorliegenden Studie wird daher erstmals die Funktion dieses Motivs in Pont. 2,1 – einer der ausführlichsten Triumphschilderungen Ovids – eingehend analysiert und vor dem Hintergrund der übrigen Triumphszenen im Werk der augusteischen Dichter interpretiert.

Ausgangspunkt dieser Analyse ist das von M. Beard entwickelte Konzept des Triumphs als eines „ritual in ink“, eines Rituals „whose principal form is in ink alone ... a ritual that exists on paper frequently without a direct referent in ritual action“. Durch die Übertragung dieses Konzepts auf Pont. 2,1 wird deutlich, wie Ovid das mimetische Potential der Triumphelemente und die mannigfachen intertextuellen Bezüge seiner Schilderung benutzt, um die außersprachliche Referentialität des Triumphrituals in Frage zu stellen und so die offizielle Triumphideologie des Kaiserhauses zu unterminieren. Dabei macht sich der an den Rand des römischen Herrschaftsbereichs relegierte Dichter die staatlich sanktionierte Auffassung zu eigen, der zufolge im Triumphritual als „staging of the world“ (I. Östenberg) die Übereinstimmung von urbs und orbis terrarum zum Ausdruck kommt, und setzt sich im Schlussteil des Gedichts sogar selbst als poeta vates und auctor des von ihm beschriebenen Triumphzugs an die Stelle des triumphierenden Kaisers.

Neben den erwähnten literatur- und geschichtswissenschaftlichen Ansätzen berücksichtigt die Untersuchung auch linguistische Analysekategorien. Dabei handelt es sich zum einen um die Zeichentheorien F. de Saussures und C. K. Ogdens, mit deren Hilfe die verschiedenen Elemente der Triumphschilderung als ein Netz von Signifikant-Signifikat-Beziehungen verstehbar werden, die sich durch das Fehlen des in Ogdens Dreiecksmodell vorgesehenen Referenzaspekts auszeichnen. Hinzu kommt das im Rahmen der Sprechakttheorie entwickelte Konzept unterschiedlicher directions of fit, die ein genaueres Verständnis der Unterminierung des aus linguistischer Sicht als unterdeterminiert zu bezeichnenden Triumphrituals ermöglichen. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist dabei die Benennung der Triumphelemente durch Zuschauer und eigens zu diesem Zweck im Triumphzug mitgeführte tituli.

Am Ende der Arbeit werden Perspektiven für weitergehende Untersuchungen aufgezeigt, die auf der Kombination literatur- und sprachwissenschaftlicher Analyseverfahren beruhen.

Die Studie wurde im Frühjahr 2014 abgeschlossen.

description: The decay Bs to mu+ mu- is one of the milestones of the flavor program at the LHC. We reappraise its Standard Model prediction. First, by analyzing the theoretical rate in the light of its main parametric dependence, we highlight the importance of a complete evaluation of higher-order electroweak corrections, at present known only in the large-mt limit, and leaving sizable dependence on the definition of electroweak parameters. Using insights from a complete calculation of such corrections for K to pi bar{nu} nu decays, we find a scheme in which NLO electroweak corrections are likely to be negligible. Second, we address the issue of the correspondence between the initial and the final state detected by the experiments, and those used in the theoretical prediction. Particular attention is devoted to the effect of the soft radiation, that has not been discussed for this mode in the previous literature, and that can lead to O(10%) corrections to the decay rate. The "non-radiative" branching ratio (that is equivalent to the branching ratio fully inclusive of bremsstrahlung radiation) is estimated to be (3.23 +/- 0.27) x 10^{-9} for the flavor eigenstate, with the main uncertainty resulting from the value of f_{Bs}, followed by the uncertainty due to higher order electroweak corrections. Applying the same strategy to Bd to mu+ mu-, we find for its non-radiative branching ratio (1.07 +/- 0.10) x 10^{-10}.

description: Episodic memory is memory for personally experienced past events. Recently, there has been intense debate as to whether episodic memory is unique to humans, or whether it may extend to non-human animals. Although many insightful paradigms have shown elements of episodic memory in numerous species, research has been shrouded with difficulties, stemming from the extensive criteria and the phenomenological nature of such memories. This thesis, therefore, aims to move beyond a debate hindered by definition, and rather than searching for a definite answer to the question, focuses on comparing the similarities and differences between the way humans and animals (specifically, great apes) recall past events. The thesis beings with an introduction to memory, before focusing on episodic memory and the episodic memory debate. In the following chapter, the subjects (great apes) and the general testing procedure are introduced. In Chapter 3, the distinctiveness effect is investigated in the recall of a past event. The distinctiveness effect refers to the enhanced memory for distinctive, as opposed to non-distinct information. The results suggest that the distinctiveness effect occurs in great apes’ memory of past events, moreover, it occurs regardless of reinforcement, consistent with results found in humans. Chapter 4 explores involuntary memory in great apes; a form of memory that occurs frequently in humans and has been proposed to exist in animals, yet has been largely overlooked. Using a paradigm that draws upon elements of involuntary memory, apes show successful recall of a past event after long delays. Chapter 5 investigates the recall of social information from past events, an area which has received little attention. The results of this chapter indicate that apes fail to integrate social information (who) with what, suggesting that social information may not be readily incorporated into the memory of past events; however, this is likely due to a lack of saliency. The final chapter discusses the findings of the three experimental chapters (3-5), before providing potential avenues for future research.

description: Our planet is facing huge effects of global climate changes that are threatening biodiversity data to be surviving. Biodiversity data exist in very complex characteristics, such as high volume, variety, veracity, velocity, and value, as Big data. The variety or heterogeneity of biodiversity data provides a very high challenging research problem since they exist in unstructured, semi-structured, quasi-structured, and generated in XML, EML, Excel sheets, videos, images, or ontologies. In addition, the availability of biodiversity data includes trait-measurements, species distribution, species’ morphology, genetic sequences, phylogenetic trees, spatial data, and ecological niches; data are collected and uploaded in Bio Portals via citizen scientists, museums’ collections, ecological surveys, and environmental studies. These data collections generate big data, which is important current research. The first phase of Big data analytics life cycle discovers whether the data is enough to perform the analytics process, which takes more time than any other phase. In addition, Big biodiversity data management life cycle includes data integration as a main phase, affecting storage, indexing, and querying. In the data integration phase, we apply semantic data integration in order to combine data from different sources and consolidate them into valuable information that depends on semantic technologies. A number of research attempts have been achieved on semantic big data integration. For example, Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) has been proposed in relational schema and in NOSQL [1,2] databases since it provides a semantically conceptual schema over data repository. Another example is Semantic Extract Transform Load (ETL) framework [3], which integrates and publishes data from multiple sources as open linked data provides through semantic technologies. Moreover, Semantic MongoDB-based has been developed where researchers represented as an OWL ontology. However, the need for semantic big data integration tools becomes highly recommended because of the growth of biodiversity big data. In the current work, a semantic big data integration system is developed, which handles the following features: 1) Data heterogeneity, 2) NoSQL databases, 3) Ontology based Integration, and 4) User Interaction, where data integration components can be chosen. A proof-of-concept will be developed based on biodiversity data, having various data formats. In addition, related ontologies will be used from BioPortal.

title: The image of ecclesiastical restorers in narrative sources in England c.1070-1130
Creators: name: French, Michael
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2015

description: This thesis explores the depiction of ecclesiastical restorers in narrative sources in England between c.1070 and 1130. It examines the way in which contemporaries wrote about churchmen who were engaged in restoring the English Church, particularly the actions which were attributed to them. While a great deal has been written about ideas of Church reform from the time, little has been done to set out who might actually be considered a restorer. Narrative sources offer a window through which to assess the themes which most concerned writers of the time. The thesis focuses upon chronicles and saints’ Lives to delve into these themes, as it seeks to identify the criteria by which writers assessed churchmen who attempted to restore the Church. Certain common trends will be identified. However, it will also be argued that different contexts and commentators honed the image of the restorer so that the needs of communities and their particular members shaped ideas of the figures under discussion. The examination is split between four chapters, each addressing an important aspect in the depiction of the restorer. Chapter One looks at the importance of material restoration, through the recovery of lost lands and the rebuilding of churches. Chapter Two looks at how writers depicted restorers correcting morals in England and improving monastic customs, particularly saints’ cults. Chapter Three explores the notion of ‘right order’ and how it was important for churchmen to ensure that the correct hierarchy was restored. The fourth and final chapter examines the personal characteristics expected of a restorer, such as industry, prudence and learning, as well as descriptions of saintly restorers. Finally, the conclusion tests its findings against writing from different times and places, namely other European writing from the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries and tenth-century England.

description: Ontologies, i.e., formal specifications of concepts and relations relevant to a specialised domain of interest, are information resources which play a crucial role in the tasks of knowledge representation, management and discovery. Knowledge acquisition, the process of curating and updating them, is typically carried out manually, requiring human efforts that are tedious, time-consuming and expensive. This holds true especially in the case of ontologies which are continuously being expanded with new terms, in their aim to support a growing number of use cases. An example of such is the Environment Ontology (ENVO). Initially developed to support the annotation of metagenomic data, ENVO has more recently realigned its goals in support of the Sustainable Development Agenda for 2030 and thus is currently much broader in scope, covering the domains of biodiversity and ecology. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase with respect to ENVO’s number of classes; hence the process of curating and updating the ontology can benefit from automated support. In this work, we aim to help in expanding ENVO in a more efficient manner by automatically discovering new habitat mentions. To this end, we developed a text mining-based approach underpinned by the following pipeline: (1) automatic extraction of habitat mentions from text using named entity recognition methods; (2) normalisation of every extracted mention, i.e., identification of the most relevant ENVO term based on the calculation of lexical similarity between them; (3) application of a filter to retain only habitat mentions that appear to not yet exist in ENVO; and (4) construction of clusters over the remaining mentions. The pipeline results in clusters consisting of potential synonyms and lexical variations of existing terms, as well as semantically related expressions, which can then be evaluated for integration into an existing ENVO class, or, on occasion, be indicative of a new class that could be added to the ontology. Applying our approach to a corpus pertaining to the Dipterocarpaceae family of forest trees (based on documents from the Biological Heritage Library and grey literature), we generated more than 1,000 new habitat terms for potential incorporation into ENVO.

description: The LOw Frequency Array, LOFAR, is a next generation radio telescope with its core in the Netherlands and elements distributed throughout Europe. It has exceptional collecting area and wide bandwidths at frequencies from 10 MHz up to 250 MHz. It is in exactly this frequency range where pulsars are brightest and also where they exhibit rapid changes in their emission profiles. Although LOFAR is still in the commissioning phase it is already collecting data of high quality. I will present highlights from our commissioning observations which will include: unique constraints on the site of pulsar emission, individual pulse studies, observations of millisecond pulsars, using pulsars to constrain the properties of the magneto-ionic medium and pilot pulsars surveys. I will also discuss future science projects and advances in the observing capabilities.

description: Let $f : (X, Δ) \to Y$ be a flat, projective family of sharply $F$-pure, log-canonically polarized pairs over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p >0$ such that $p \nmid \ind(K_{X/Y} + Δ)$. We show that $K_{X/Y} + Δ$ is nef and that $f_* (\sO_X(m (K_{X/Y} + Δ)))$ is a nef vector bundle for $m \gg 0$ and divisible enough. Some of the results also extend to non log-canonically polarized pairs. The main motivation of the above results is projectivity of proper subspaces of the moduli space of stable pairs in positive characteristics. Other applications are Kodaira vanishing free, algebraic proofs of corresponding positivity results in characteristic zero, and special cases of subadditivity of Kodaira-dimension in positive characteristics.

title: Gradient-Based Surface Reconstruction and the Application to Wind Waves
Creators: name: Scherr, Tim
Publisher: name: Heidelberg University Library
Year: 2017

description: New gradient-based surface reconstruction techniques are presented: regularized least absolute deviations based methods using common discrete differential operators, and spline based methods. All new methods are formulated in the same mathematical framework as convex optimization problems and can handle non-rectangular domains. For the spline based methods, either common P-splines or P1-splines can be used. Extensive reconstruction error analysis shows that the new P1-spline based method is superior to conventional methods in the case of gradient fields corrupted with outliers. In the analysis, both spline based methods provide the lowest reconstruction errors for reconstructions from incomplete gradient fields. Furthermore, the pre-processing of gradient fields is investigated. Median filter pre-processing offers a computationally efficient method that is robust
to outliers. After the reconstruction error analysis, selected reconstruction methods are applied to imaging slope gauge data measured in the wind-wave facility
Aeolotron in Heidelberg. Using newly developed segmentation methods, it is possible to detect different coordinate system orientations of gradient field data
and reconstruction algorithms. In addition, the use of a zero slope correction for reconstructions from the provided imaging slope gauge data is justified. The impact of light refracting bubbles on reconstructions from this data is part of this thesis as well. Finally, some water surface reconstructions for measurement conditions with different fetch lengths at the same wind speed in the Aeolotron are shown.

description: According to Harada and Sasa [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 130602 (2005)], heat production generated in a non-equilibrium steady state can be inferred from measuring response and correlation functions. In many colloidal systems, however, it is a nontrivial task to determine response functions, whereas details about spatial steady state trajectories are easily accessible. Using a simple conditional averaging procedure, we show how this fact can be exploited to reliably evaluate average heat production. We test this method using Brownian dynamics simulations, and apply it to experimental data of an interacting driven colloidal system.
title: Politik und Gesellschaft in der philippinischen Pfingstbewegung
Creators: name: Maltese, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Heidelberg University Library
Year: 2017

description: Die Studie untersucht das Verhältnis von Pentekostalismus und Politik in den Philippinen. Dafür werden zuerst Diskurse und Figuren mit nationaler Ausstrahlung beschrieben – auch solche, die von der Forschung bislang ignoriert wurden, wie die einflussreichen Kreise um den Pfingstbischof Villanueva.
Sodann wird ihre Rezeption in einer Mittelschichtsstadt im mittleren Süden des Landes analysiert, wodurch die Rolle lokaler Hegemonieverhältnisse bei der Artikulation pentekostaler Politik deutlich wird. Ein Fokus liegt auf den Debatten zu den Präsidentschaftskandidaturen von 2004 und
2010 und zum Reproduktionsgesundheitsgesetz.
Die konsequente Berücksichtigung der Verflechtung von globalen, nationalen und lokalen Diskursen macht politische Rationalitäten sichtbar, für die der Forschungsblick bisher verstellt war. So lässt sich entgegen der verbreiteten Annahme, dass die Pfingstbewegung weltflüchtig, religiös intolerant und sozialpolitisch insensibel sei, zeigen, dass diese Klischees schon ab den 1980ern innerpentekostal problematisiert wurden und in den 2000ern Parteiallianzen mit marxistisch-leninistischen und islamistischen Gruppen gebildet wurden. Dies ermöglicht nicht nur neue Perspektiven auf die Religions- und Politikgeschichte des Landes, sondern auch auf die allgemeinen Zusammenhang von Religion, kollektiver Identitätsbildung und Populismus.

title: Antibodies conjugated with viral antigens elicit a cytotoxic T cell response against primary CLL ex vivo
Creators: name: Schneidt, Viktor

description: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent type of B cell leukemia in adults. Treatment options against this incurable disease have continually been expanding with strategies using specific antibodies, inhibitors and individualized adaptive immunotherapy. However, none of these approaches is curative and devoid of adverse effects. In this preclinical ex vivo study, a novel therapeutic
approach has been developed that uses B cell-specific antibodies coupled with antigens (antigen-armed antibodies, AgAbs) derived from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The breadth of the immunogenic epitope repertoire within the coupled antigen is a critical factor for the immune response amplitude as it determines the potential number and diversity of memory T cell clones that can be
reactivated. Along this line, a strongly immunogenic latent EBV antigen named EBNA3C was fragmented into large segments and conjugated to the antibody vehicles. Application of these antibody conjugates to leukocytes isolated from
treatment-naïve CLL patients led to an efficient expansion of CD4+ T cells that recognized EBNA3C in all tested cases. Moreover, CLL cells pulsed with EBNA3C-AgAbs
induced specific responses of these T cells with widely varying intensities across the patient population. Interestingly, a large proportion of the EBV-specific T cells consisted of highly efficient cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that eliminated CLL cells loaded with EBNA3C through the granzyme B (GrB)/perforin-mediated pathway. The encouraging results from this study demonstrate the potential of AgAbs to redirect endogenous CD4+ CTLs against
CLL cells loaded with EBV antigens in a high percentage of patients, and warrants the inception of clinical trials.
title: Lucian's response to Augustine: conversion and narrative in Confessions and Nigrinus
Creators: name: Grethlein, Jonas
Publisher: name: Mohr Siebeck
Year: 2016

description: In the case of the extraordinary experience of a conversion, the shortcomings of a
verbal rendering are felt with particular force. Augustine’s account of his conversion
in Confessions 8, however, not only ignores the gap between experience and narrative,
but entwines them in a way that seems to erase the boundary between Life and
life. In Nigrinus, Lucian trenchantly satirises the kind of chain between conversion
and its representation envisaged by Augustine. At the same time, a comparison with
the much later reception of the Confessions in Petrarch throws into relief the common
ground which Lucian and Augustine share. Taken together, the Confessions and the
Nigrinus give us a glimpse of what may have been a rich tradition of protreptic conversion
literature in the Hellenistic and Imperial Eras.
title: Homer's vividness. An enactive approach

description: The vividness of Homeric poetry has been admired since antiquity, but has been difficult to pin down with
precision. It is usually thought to come about because readers are prompted to visualize the storyworld in the form of
mental images seen with the mind’s eye. But this cannot be right, both because there are serious scientific problems
with the concept of ‘pictures in the head’ and because Homer does not offer many detailed descriptions, which are a
prerequisite for eliciting detailed mental images. This article presents a different, and cognitively more realistic, take
on the imageability of Homeric epic, which is based on recent reader-response studies inspired by the enactivist theory
of cognition. These studies make a compelling case for readerly visualization as an embodied response, which does not
depend on bright or detailed mental images. An analysis of the chariot race in Iliad 23 identifies specific features of
what may be called an ‘enactive style’, notably the description of simple bodily actions. The final part of the article
demonstrates that an enactivist take on Homer’s vividness is not incompatible with the ancient concept of enargeia, the
chief rhetorical term with which Homer’s vividness is characterized in ancient criticism.
Shell evolution in neutron-rich carbon isotopes: Unexpected enhanced role of neutron-neutron correlation

description: Full shell-model diagonalization has been performed to study the structure of neutron-rich nuclei around $^{20}$C. We investigate in detail the roles played by the different monopole components of the effective interaction in the evolution of the N=14 shell in C, N and O isotopes. It is found that the relevant neutron-neutron monopole terms, $V^{nn}_{d_{5/2}d_{5/2}}$ and $V^{nn}_{s_{1/2}s_{1/2}}$, contribute significantly to the reduction of the N=14 shell gap in C and N isotopes in comparison with that in O isotopes. The origin of this unexpectedly large effect, which is comparable with (sometimes even larger than) that caused by the proton-neutron interaction, is related to the enhanced configuration mixing in those nuclei due to many-body correlations. Such a scheme is also supported by the large B(E2) value in the nucleus $^{20}$C which has been measured recently.
Nonparametric regression with nonparametrically generated covariates

description: We analyze the statistical properties of nonparametric regression estimators using covariates which are not directly observable, but have be estimated from data in a preliminary step. These so-called generated covariates appear in numerous applications, including two-stage nonparametric regression, estimation of simultaneous equation models or censored regression models. Yet so far there seems to be no general theory for their impact on the final estimator's statistical properties. Our paper provides such results. We derive a stochastic expansion that characterizes the influence of the generation step on the final estimator, and use it to derive rates of consistency and asymptotic distributions accounting for the presence of generated covariates.

description: The nonrelativistic annihilation of Majorana dark matter in the Sun to a pair of light fermions is chirality-suppressed. Annihilation to 3-body final states $\ell^+f^-V$, where $V=W,Z,γ$, and $\ell$ and $f$ are light fermions (that may be the same), becomes dominant since bremsstrahlung relaxes the chirality suppression. We evaluate the neutrino spectra at the source, including spin and helicity dependent effects, and assess the detectability of each significant bremsstrahlung channel at IceCube/DeepCore. We also show how to combine the sensitivities to the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section in individual channels, since typically several channels contribute in models.
