description: Romane, unabhängig davon, aus welcher Epoche oder geographischen Region sie kommen, sind meist geprägt von ihren Figuren. Die Figuren geben der Handlung Struktur und fungieren sowohl als Orientierungshilfe als auch als Identifikationskonzepte für die Lesenden. Umso verwunderlicher ist es, wenn eine Figur nicht schlüssig erscheint. Oftmals fällt es schwer zu benennen, was es ist, dass bei den Rezipient:innen den Eindruck einer unausgeglichenen Figur entstehen lässt. Im Laufe der Erarbeitung dieser Bachelorarbeit und auch während des Studiums, fiel eine exakte Beschreibung, welche Faktoren eine literarische Figur unschlüssig erscheinen lassen, nie leicht und kam immer wieder auf. Häufig resultieren diese Beschreibungen in einer generellen Infragestellung der in der Geschichte beschriebenen Gesellschaft oder enden mit einer eher subjektiven Auffassung und Beurteilung. Eine kurze Auseinandersetzung mit der Konzeption der Figur der Dewi Ayu in Eka Kurniawans Roman Cantik itu Luka 2019, resultierte ebenfalls in einer Verwunderung über die Ambivalenz der Figur und in einer Spekulation um den Aufbau der Gesellschaft innerhalb des Romans. Um diese Ambivalenzen zu erfassen und ihnen auf den Grund zu gehen, wird in dieser Arbeit ein, ‚Verstehprozess‘; wie Brigitte Rath (2011: 7) ihn nennt, in Gang gebracht. Die Interpretation zweier Romane der indonesischen Autorin Ayu Utami, geschieht hier mittels einer gender-orientierten Erzähltextanalyse.
 Angelehnt an Jossfinn Bohns Beitrag (2017: 134), Genderambivalenz und -dichotomie in Stiferts „Brigitta“, „Zwei Schwestern“ und „Der Nachtsommer“, werden ausgewählte Textstellen innerhalb verschiedener Analysekategorien untersucht und auf ihre weibliche und männliche Konnotation hin geprüft. Die zu untersuchenden Analysekategorien ergeben sich aus dem Anspruch, eine komplexe Figurenanalyse zu erzielen. Des Weiteren sollen die vorangegangen bereits beschriebenen Ambivalenzen innerhalb des Figurver- stehens mittels der Frage nach der Zuverlässigkeit der Erzählinstanz, in diesem Falle der Protagonistin der behandelten Textabschnitte, erörtert und frühere Beobachtungen anderer Forscher:innen infrage gestellt werden. Die Analysen der Romane mittels dieser Methode verspricht einen großen Erkenntnisgewinn, denn sonst Nichtgreifbares kann durch sie artikuliert werden. Diesen Ansatz verfolgt in seinen Grundzügen auch Charlotte Marbehant, die sich in ihrer recht aktuellen Arbeit Framing Gender Paradoxes in Indonesian Literature. The story of Bawuk mit der Ambivalenz der Figur Bawuk der gleichnamigen Kurzgeschichte Umar Kayams auseinandersetzt. Auch sie wendet die gender-orientierte Analyse in ihren Ansätzen an und erarbeitet mittels der Methode eine produktive Einordnung der Figur (Marbehant 2020: 19 ff.).

description: We relate the geometrical construction of (2+1)-spacetimes via grafting to phase space and Poisson structure in the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1)-dimensional gravity with vanishing cosmological constant on manifolds of topology $R\times S_g$, where $S_g$ is an orientable two-surface of genus $g>1$. We show how grafting along simple closed geodesics λis implemented in the Chern-Simons formalism and derive explicit expressions for its action on the holonomies of general closed curves on S_g. We prove that this action is generated via the Poisson bracket by a gauge invariant observable associated to the holonomy of $λ$. We deduce a symmetry relation between the Poisson brackets of observables associated to the Lorentz and translational components of the holonomies of general closed curves on S_g and discuss its physical interpretation. Finally, we relate the action of grafting on the phase space to the action of Dehn twists and show that grafting can be viewed as a Dehn twist with a formal parameter $θ$ satisfying $θ^2=0$.

Structure of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Intracluster Light
Creators: name: Kluge, Mathias
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: I have undertaken a photometric survey of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and their surrounding Intracluster light (ICL) with the Wendelstein Wide Field Imager. The sample consists of 171 BCGs at low redshift (z<0.08). Special care during the background subtraction procedure allows me to measure semi-major axis surface brightness (SB) profiles of the BCG+ICL systems down to a limiting SB = 30 mag_g' arcsec^-2. That corresponds to 425+/-220 kpc semi-major axis radii. On such low SB levels, accretion signatures like tidal streams (in 22% of the BCGs) and shells (in 9.4% of the BCGs) become visible in many of the systems, indicating that accretion as a formation channel contributes significantly to the ICL build-up in clusters. I find that 39% of the BCG+ICL systems have SB profiles that are well described by a single Sérsic (SS) function whereas 61% require a double Sérsic (DS) function to obtain a good fit. SS BCGs, having more symmetric isophotal shapes and fewer detected accretion signatures than DS BCGs, appear to have slightly more relaxed morphology than their DS counterparts. Members of the latter type encompass S2=66+/-28% of their total light in the outer Sérsic component. There is a wide scatter in transition radii r_x and surface brightness at the transition radii SB(r_x) between the two Sérsic components. The integrated brightnesses of the BCG+ICL systems do not correlate with S2 and only weakly with r_x and SB(r_x). That indicates that the outer Sérsic component is unlikely to trace the ICL, contrary to often taken assumption. Moreover, we confirm the existence of broken slopes in the Kormendy- and size-luminosity relations for BCGs and regular ellipticals. The slopes for BCGs are steeper than previously known. The reason is that the amount of ICL had been underestimated since the luminosity fraction at faint SBs increases with BCG+ICL brightness. We furthermore find that the ICL is on average better aligned with the host clusters than the BCG. The ICL is on average also offset towards the cluster center. That qualifies it as a potential Dark Matter tracer. We find positive correlations between BCG+ICL brightness and cluster mass, cluster radius, cluster richness and integrated satellite brightness, confirming that BCG/ICL growth is indeed coupled
 with cluster growth.

description: We are at a point were technology has once again shifted focus as it has several times in the past. Gone now is the ages of the steam engines, railroads, the internal combustion engine and nuclear power. We are now in an age of technology based on microelectronics, biotechnology, and digital information systems. Each time a change in technology has come about, it has affected daily life and the way we understand space. The question is, what are those changes and how can architecture use them to densify, illuminate, pacify and enlighten in the urban fabric. Firstly, there has been an increase in banal space in the city, created by the repetition of forms and the sound bite philosophy of marketing and the franchise. This is space without features, edges, landmarks, substance or quality, or to say it another way it is location without locale. Life is also speeding up, and shows no sign of slowing down. With the increase in speed there is an increased awareness of those small units of time of waiting. The time isn't long enough to do anything, but too long not to, and this leads to lag stress. Multiple and parallel levels of existence are becoming legible, with the Cartesian grid no longer being the only defining frame of reference. In the datasphere the city is becoming, information no longer travels on longitude and latitude but instantaneously between two points. Finally, the frame between the virtual and the real is being removed. In response to this, I propose the following. A frameless spatial system A system which takes the ordinary and realigns it to create new and interesting juxtapositions of form and space. A system based on a program of waiting, to be used to decrease lag stress. A system which will help to create a focus and a sense of place in key areas in the city. A system based on process or relative based design - using connections, proximity, flow and view as generating devices. A system which makes use of an increased literacy in the population of overlapping layers and woven forms. A system which, therefore, sits parallel to, and co-exists with, the existing urban fabric, or a Paraspace.

description: Molecular motors are macromolecular complexes which use some form of input energy to perform mechanical work. The filamentary tracks, on which these motors move, are made of either proteins (e.g., microtubules) or nucleic acids (DNA or RNA). Often, many such motors move simultaneously on the same track and their collective properties have superficial similarities with vehicular traffic on highways. The models we have developed provide ``unified'' description: in the low-density limit, a model captures the transport properties of a single motor while, at higher densities the same model accounts for the collective spatio-temporal organization of interacting motors. By drawing analogy with vehicular traffic, we have introduced novel quantities for characterizing the nature of the spatio-temporal organization of molecular motors on their tracks. We show how the traffic-like intracellular collective phenomena depend on the mechano-chemistry of the corresponding individual motors.

Prioritising data items for business analytics: Framework and application to human resources

description: The popularity of business intelligence (BI) systems to support business analytics has tremendously increased in the last decade. The determination of data items that should be stored in the BI system is vital to ensure the success of an organisation's business analytic strategy. Expanding conventional BI systems often leads to high costs of internally generating, cleansing and maintaining new data items whilst the additional data storage costs are in many cases of minor concern -- what is a conceptual difference to big data systems. Thus, potential additional insights resulting from a new data item in the BI system need to be balanced with the often high costs of data creation. While the literature acknowledges this decision problem, no model-based approach to inform this decision has hitherto been proposed. The present research describes a prescriptive framework to prioritise data items for business analytics and applies it to human resources. To achieve this goal, the proposed framework captures core business activities in a comprehensive process map and assesses their relative importance and possible data support with multi-criteria decision analysis.

description: In complex oxide heteroepitaxy, strain engineering is a powerful tool to obtain phases in thin films that may be otherwise unstable in bulk. A successful example of this approach is mixed phase bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) epitaxial thin films. The coexistence of a tetragonal-like (T-like) matrix and rhombohedral-like (R-like) striations provides an enhanced electromechanical response, along with other attractive functional behaviors. In this paper, we compare the energetics associated with two thickness dependent strain relaxation mechanisms in this system: domain walls arising from monoclinic distortion in the T-like phase, and the interphase boundary between the host T-like matrix and tilted R-like phases. Combining x-ray diffraction measurements with scanning probe microscopy, we extract quantitative values using an empirical energy balance approach. The domain wall and phase boundary energies are found to be 113 $\pm$ 21 and 426 $\pm$ 23 mJ.m$^{-2}$, respectively. These numerical estimates will help us realize designer phase boundaries in multiferroics, which possess colossal responses to external stimuli, attractive for a diverse range of functional applications.

Determining the true colour of the extended halos of early-type galaxies

description: Deep optical images provide unprecedented surface brightness level so that we can probe the stellar populations in the very outskirts of early-type galaxies, in an environment which is crucial to determine the history of these galaxies. The deep images change our outlook on the nearby early-type galaxies by revealing stellar shells, rings, streams, tails and extended halos.

 At the very low surface brightness levels reached by deep optical images, a number of artefacts and ghosts show up. By using a new method, we correct for these artificial effects. This was done for a large sample of massive early-type galaxies observed with the MegaCam camera at the Canada - France - Hawaii Telescope under the MATLAS (Mass Assembly of early-Type GaLAxies with their fine Structures) programme. We calculate the colour profiles at large galactic radii, study the age and metallicity gradients, calibrated with the central ancillary data, and compare it with predictions from numerical simulations.

description: The use of topical antimicrobials in wound healing presents challenges like risk of drug resistance and toxicity to local tissue. Simvastatin (SIM), a lipid-lowering agent which reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, is repurposed for its pleiotropic effect in wound healing. A bioactive bioadhesive polymer-based film forming spray (FFS) formulation of SIM was designed using chitosan, collagen, hyaluronic acid and optimised by employing the DoE approach. Optimised formulation demonstrated moderate viscosity (12.5 ± 0.3 cP), rapid film formation (231 ± 5.6 s), flexibility, tensile strength and sustained drug release (T80 – time for 80% drug release − 9.05 ± 0.7 h). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) verified uniformly dispersed drug within the composite polymer matrix. SIM FFS demonstrated antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. In vivo excision wound model studies in mice affirmed the beneficent role of bioactive polymers and the efficacy of SIM FFS in wound contraction and closure, tissue remodelling and re-epithelization in comparison to standard antimicrobial preparation. Cytokines TNF- alpha, IL-6 were downregulated and IL-10 was upregulated. Biochemical markers; hydroxyproline, hexosamine and histopathology were consistent with wound contraction observed. This is an exploratory effort in repurposing SIM for wound healing in a novel dosage form, underscoring its potential as an alternative to conventional topical antimicrobials.

A rigorous statistical comparison of data with theory is done, without use of the concept of root-mean-square deviation, and excellent agreement is obtained. The Casimir force between metal and semiconductor is demonstrated to be significantly different than between two similar or dissimilar metals.

description: Task-based programming models are excellent tools to parallelize and seamlessly load balance an application workload. However, the integration of I/O intensive applications and task-based programming models is lacking. Typically, I/O operations stall the requesting thread until the data is serviced by the backing device. Because the core where the thread was running becomes idle, it should be possible to overlap the data query operation with either computation workloads or even more I/O operations. Nonetheless, overlapping I/O tasks with other tasks entails an extra degree of complexity currently not managed by programming models' runtimes. In this work, we focus on integrating storage I/O into the tasking model by introducing the Task-Aware Storage I/O (TASIO) library. We test TASIO extensively with a custom benchmark for a number of configurations and conclude that it is able to achieve speedups up to 2x depending on the workload, although it might lead to slowdowns if not used with the right settings.

description: We present a study of the isotropic-nematic interface in a system of hard spherocylinders. First we compare results from Monte Carlo simulations and Onsager density functional theory for the interfacial profiles of the orientational order parameter and the density. Those interfacial properties that are not affected by capillary waves are in good agreement, despite the fact that Onsager theory overestimates the coexistence densities. Then we show results of a Monte Carlo study of the capillary waves of the interface. In agreement with recent theoretical investigations (Eur.Phys.J. E {\bf 18} 407 (2005)) we find a strongly anistropic capillary wave spectrum. For the wave-numbers accessed in our simulations, the spectrum is quadratic, i.e.elasticity does not play a role. We conjecture that this effect is due to the strong bending rigidity of the director field in suspensions of spherocylinders.

description: The one-dimensional hydrogen atom is an intriguing quantum mechanics problem that exhibits several properties which have been continually debated. In particular, there has been variance as to whether or not even-parity solutions exist, and specifically whether or not the ground state is an even-parity state with infinite negative energy. We study a "regularized" version of this system, where the potential is a constant in the vicinity of the origin, and we discuss the even- and odd-parity solutions for this regularized one-dimensional hydrogen atom. We show how the even-parity states, with the exception of the ground state, converge to the same functional form and become degenerate for $x > 0$ with the odd-parity solutions as the cutoff approaches zero. This differs with conclusions derived from analysis of the singular (i.e., without regularization) one-dimensional Coulomb potential, where even-parity solutions are absent from the spectrum.

description: The intercalation-induced phase transition of MoS2 from the semiconducting 2H to the semimetallic 1T' phase has been studied in detail for nearly a decade; however, the effects of a heterointerface between MoS2 and other two-dimensional (2D) crystals on the phase transition have largely been overlooked. Here, ab initio calculations show that intercalating Li at a MoS2-hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) interface stabilizes the 1T phase over the 2H phase of MoS2 by ~ 100 mJ m-2, suggesting that encapsulating MoS2 with hBN may lower the electrochemical energy needed for the intercalation-induced phase transition. However, in situ Raman spectroscopy of hBN-MoS2-hBN heterostructures during electrochemical intercalation of Li+ shows that the phase transition occurs at the same applied voltage for the heterostructure as for bare MoS2. We hypothesize that the predicted thermodynamic stabilization of the 1T'-MoS2-hBN interface is counteracted by an energy barrier to the phase transition imposed by the steric hindrance of the heterointerface. The phase transition occurs at lower applied voltages upon heating the heterostructure, which supports our hypothesis. Our study highlights that interfacial effects of 2D heterostructures can go beyond modulating electrical properties and can modify electrochemical and phase transition behaviors.

В развитии сюжета важную роль играет мотив смерти. Чередуя дневниковые записи Глеба о сегодняшнем его состоянии с воспоминаниями о прошлом, автор дает возможность увидеть целый ряд серьезных поворотов судьбы, случившихся в разные моменты жизни  героя. Для интерпретации как отдельных эпизодов, так и личности героя в целом самое важное — понимание. Понять же авторский замысел помогает выбор финала с уходом от конкретных решений и поступков к символу мечты, данному в названии романа и связанному с образом матери героя.

description: Aims: We measure the redshift of the lensing galaxy in eight gravitationally lensed quasars in view of determining the Hubble parameter H_0 from the time delay method. Methods: Deep VLT/FORS1 spectra of lensed quasars are spatially deconvolved in order to separate the spectrum of the lensing galaxies from the glare of the much brighter quasar images. A new observing strategy is devised. It involves observations in Multi-Object-Spectroscopy (MOS) which allows the simultaneous observation of the target and of several PSF and flux calibration stars. The advantage of this method over traditional long-slit observations is a much more reliable extraction and flux calibration of the spectra. Results: For the first time we measure the redshift of the lensing galaxy in three multiply-imaged quasars: SDSS J1138+0314 (z=0.445), SDSS J1226-0006 (z=0.517), SDSS J1335+0118 (z=0.440), and we give a tentative estimate of the redshift of the lensing galaxy in Q 1355-2257 (z=0.701). We confirm four previously measured redshifts: HE 0047-1756 (z=0.407), HE 0230-2130 (z=0.523), HE 0435-1223 (z=0.454) and WFI J2033-4723 (z=0.661). In addition, we determine the redshift of the second lensing galaxy in HE 0230-2130 (z=0.526). The spectra of all lens galaxies are typical for early-type galaxies, except for the second lensing galaxy in HE 0230-2130 which displays prominent [OII] emission.

description: The Brownian motion of a particle in a one-dimensional periodic potential subjected to a uniform external force F is studied. Using the formula for the diffusion coefficient D obtained by other authors and an alternative one derived from the Fokker-Planck equation in the present work, D is compared with the differential mobility μ= dv/dF where v is the average velocity of the particle. Analytical and numerical calculations indicate that inequality D \ge μk_{B}T, with k_{B} the Boltzmann constant and T the temperature, holds if the periodic potential is symmetric, while it is violated for asymmetric potentials when F is small but nonzero.

description: Simple minimal but informationally complete positive operator-valued measures are constructed out of the expectation-value representation for qudits.

description: The relic density of a cold dark matter (CDM) candidate is calculated in the context of three non-standard cosmological scenaria and its value is compared with the one obtained in the standard regime. In particular, we consider the decoupling of the CDM particle during: (i) A decaying-particle dominated phase or (ii) a kinetic-energy dominated phase or (iii) the decay of a massive particle under the complete or partial domination of kination. We use plausible values (from the viewpoint of supersymmetric models) for the mass and the thermal averaged cross section times the velocity of the cold relic and we investigate scenaria of equilibrium and non-equilibrium production. In the case (i) a low reheat temperature, in the range (1-20) GeV, significantly facilitates the achievement of an acceptable CDM abundance. On the other hand, the presence of kination in the case (ii) can lead to an enhancement of the CDM abundance up to three orders of magnitude. The latter enhancement can be avoided, in the case (iii). In a such situation, the temperature turns out to be frozen to a plateau value which is, mostly, lower than about 40 GeV.

description: After a primer on nanotechnology and a review of current educational practices in secondary schools, the concept of just-in-time education is proposed to integrate technosciences and humanities so that both future technoscientists and non-technoscientists develop a common understanding, possibly even a common language, to deal with social, ethical, legal, and political issues that arise from the development of nanotechnology and its convergence with other technoscientific developments.

description: The importance of a strict quarantine has been widely debated during the COVID-19 epidemic even from the purely epidemiological point of view. One argument against strict lockdown measures is that once the strict quarantine is lifted, the epidemic comes back, and so the cumulative number of infected individuals during the entire epidemic will stay the same. We consider an SIR model on a network and follow the disease dynamics, modeling the phases of quarantine by changing the node degree distribution. We show that the system reaches different steady states based on the history: the outcome of the epidemic is path-dependent despite the same final node degree distribution. The results indicate that two-phase route to the final node degree distribution (a strict phase followed by a soft phase) are always better than one phase (the same soft one) unless all the individuals have the same number of connections at the end (the same degree); in the latter case, the overall number of infected is indeed history-independent. The modeling also suggests that the optimal procedure of lifting the quarantine consists of releasing nodes in the order of their degree - highest first.

description: This poster presentation will illustrate how digital collections add value to the scholarly communication chain by supporting research, teaching, and scholarship in several ways: 1) increase access to primary materials, 2) increase access to special collections and archives 3) increase access to local materials of historical, cultural, and artistic significance 4) expand open access 5) foster collaboration with faculty and students 6) increase the reputation and visibility of your university and library. I will use specific examples from the Florida Atlantic University Digital Collections to “show and tell” and include the importance of creating metadata to enhance discovery and access to your digital collections. In addition, this poster will very briefly touch upon digital sustainability; mainly that of ensuring ongoing access to digital collections and ensuring long term preservation of these same materials.

description: We show that space-time evolution of one-dimensional fermionic systems is described by nonlinear equations of soliton theory. We identify a space-time dependence of a matrix element of fermionic systems related to the {\it Orthogonality Catastrophe} or {boundary states} with the $τ$-function of the modified KP-hierarchy. The established relation allows to apply the apparatus of soliton theory to the study of non-linear aspects of quantum dynamics. We also describe a {\it bosonization in momentum space} - a representation of a fermion operator by a Bose field in the presence of a boundary state.

Another hotel in Vancouver
Creators: name: Wakelin, Brian Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The main preoccupation of this project is desire and pleasure.. The program of a hotel in Vancouver was the chosen vehicle for this project. One of the main ways hotels in Vancouver provide pleasure is through the provision of views of mountains and the harbour. The Landmark hotel for example (located across the street from the project site), distinguishes itself in its marketing brochure as "Vancouver's tallest hotel (with) tastefully appointed, air-conditioned rooms and suites that feature private balconies with unsurpassed views of Vancouver's scenic wonders." However, beyond the building's size and resulting viewing opportunity, the facility has very little to offer in terms of memorable character or identity. The second sentence describing the qualities of the hotel room amenities states that "Each room is equipped with state-of-the-art security and fire prevention systems, in-room movies and two-line telephones with computer access and voice-mail messaging." The third sentence describing the hotels again makes reference to view: "Enjoy fine dining in our Cloud Nine revolving restaurant, where the panoramic views are only surpassed by our fine cuisine and service that caters to your every. need." Commencing with the hotel room, the project challenges the position that the only thing worthy of attention from the hotel room is the distant view. The room's manipulation in plan and section provide a series of framed views through spaces with differing spatial and material character without departing from the typical thirteen by thirty foot shell of most hotel rooms. From the vanity the bedroom and sitting area are the foreground of the distant views. The strategy for the public spaces is similar. The lobby bar for example overlooks the lobby and the porte cochere. The restaurant overlooks a garden terrace with the view to the North Shore beyond. At mid-tower the Corkscrew Lounge overlooks a terrace which is foreground to the view over Robson Street. At the top the Umbrella ballroom overlooks the swimming pool as well as Stanley Park. The strategy for the pubic spaces in the middle and upper tower is also aided by the fact that they are seen from a distance in the city. They are formal exceptions read against the regular field of identical rooms. They advertise themselves as places of pleasure people in the city can imagine themselves in.

Translational dynamics effects on the non-local correlations between two atoms

description: A pair of atoms interacting successively with the field of the same cavity and exchanging a single photon, leave the cavity in an entangled state of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) type (see, for example, [S.J.D. Phoenix, and S.M. Barnett, J. Mod. Opt. \textbf{40} (1993) 979]). By implementing the model with the translational degrees of freedom, we show in this letter that the entanglement with the translational atomic variables can lead, under appropriate conditions, towards the separability of the internal variables of the two atoms. This implies that the translational dynamics can lead, in some cases, to difficulties in observing the Bell's inequality violation for massive particles.

description: Two coral species from the Early Aptian of the Monti d'Ocre area (Abruzzi) originally assigned to the genus Microsaraea Koby, 1889 are revised on the basis of their type material. Both are assigned to the genus Polyphylloseris. They are considered synonymous. The senior synonym, Microsaraea distefanoi Prever, 1909, was formerly assigned to the genus Microsolena and has a wide geographical and stratigraphical distribution. Since Microsaraea distefanoi Prever belongs to a different genus, the citations in the literature of this species are critically reviewed and, where possible, assigned to the proper Microsolena species.

description: Firstly, we generalize a semi-classical limit of open strings on D-branes in group manifolds. The limit gives rise to rigid open strings, whose dynamics can efficiently be described in terms of a matrix algebra. Alternatively, the dynamics is coded in group theory coefficients whose properties are translated in a diagrammatical language. In the case of compact groups, it is a simplified version of rational boundary conformal field theories, while for non-compact groups, the construction gives rise to new associative products. Secondly, we argue that the intuitive formalism that we provide for the semi-classical limit, extends to the case of quantum groups. The associative product we construct in this way is directly related to the boundary vertex operator algebra of open strings on symmetry preserving branes in WZW models, and generalizations thereof, e.g. to non-compact groups. We treat the groups SU(2) and SL(2,R) explicitly. We also discuss the precise relation of the semi-classical open string dynamics to Berezin quantization and to star product theory.

description: The Permian litho- and biostratigraphy of the Darin and Gachal sections of the southern part of the Kalmard block, Central Iran, are described. Like the Permian in the Halvan Mountain sections of the northern part of the block, the southern sections include four formations, namely the Chili, Chah-Kular, Hermez, and Rizi. The Chah-Kular Formation, which is first established in the present paper, corresponds to the Sartakht Formation of the northern sections. Its lowest beds contain plant fossils characteristic of the Lower Permian of Europe and partly, China. The Chili Formation includes fusulinids of the Kalaktashian assemblage, which has been dated as Sakmarian based on conodonts. Fusulinids in the Halvan Mt. section, which appear at the top of the formation, were previously found in conglomerate pebbles at the base of the overlying Sartakht Formation. As the beds with the Halvan Mt. fusulinid assemblage occur above beds with late Sakmarian conodonts, the assemblage may be of Artinskian age. However, that assemblage includes taxa usually not present either in the Artinskian fusulinid assemblage of the Urals or in the fusulinids of the Yakhtashian Stage that succeeds the Sakmarian in the Tethyan scale. A new fusulinid species (Nonpseudofusulina darinensis Leven, sp. nov.) and plants Annularia carinata Gutbier, Pecopteris monyi Zeiller P. cyathea (Schlotheim) Brongniart, Fascipteris cf. robusta (Kawasaki) Broutin, Discinites sp., Taeniopteris cf. crassicaulis Jongmans & Gothan are described. Palaeogeography of Central Iran region and adjacent areas is discussed.
