description: Germline epigenetic programming, including genomic imprinting, substantially influ-ences offspring development. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays an important role in Histone 3 Lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3)-dependent imprinting, loss of which leads to growth and developmental changes in mouse offspring. In this study, we show that offspring from mouse oocytes lacking the PRC2 protein Embryonic Ectoderm Development (EED) were initially devel-opmentally delayed, characterised by low blastocyst cell counts and substantial growth delay in mid-gestation embryos. This initial developmental delay was resolved as offspring underwent accelerated fetal development and growth in late gestation resulting in offspring that were similar stage and weight to controls at birth. The accelerated development and growth in offspring from Eed-null oocytes was associated with remodelling of the placenta, which involved an increase in fetal and maternal tissue size, conspicuous expansion of the glycogen-enriched cell population, and delayed parturition. Despite placental remodelling and accelerated offspring fetal growth and development, placental efficiency, and fetal blood glucose levels were low, and the fetal blood metabolome was unchanged. Moreover, while expression of the H3K27me3-imprinted gene and amino acid trans-porter Slc38a4 was increased, fetal blood levels of individual amino acids were similar to controls, indicating that placental amino acid transport was not enhanced. Genome-wide analyses identi-fied extensive transcriptional dysregulation and DNA methylation changes in affected placentas, including a range of imprinted and non-imprinted genes. Together, while deletion of Eed in growing oocytes resulted in fetal growth and developmental delay and placental hyperplasia, our data indi-cate a remarkable capacity for offspring fetal growth to be normalised despite inefficient placental function and the loss of H3K27me3-dependent genomic imprinting.

description: In today’s evolving energy landscape, accurate electric load forecasting has become critical for ensuring the stability and efficiency of power systems. Traditional methods often fall short due to increasing system complexity and variability. Therefore, this article explores the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as a modern, adaptive solution. It highlights the strengths of ANNs in handling nonlinear data, integrating multiple input variables, and learning from past patterns. Moreover, it discusses challenges such as data requirements and interpretability. Ultimately, the article concludes that ANNs offer substantial benefits and will play a key role in the future of sustainable energy management.

description: Alltagserfahrungen mit TschechInnen bilden den inhaltlichen Kern des in dieser kulturwissenschaftlichen Arbeit analysierten Gruppengesprächs von fünf jungen Erwachsenen, um 1989 geboren, im Grenzbezirk zu Tschechien. Der Gesprächskontext, der Gesprächsverlauf und die Aussagen der TeilnehmerInnen werden vor dem Hintergrund der sozialräumlichen Gegebenheiten zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt und analysiert, unterlegte Strukturen skizziert und eine Lesart des Gruppengesprächs entwickelt: In der Hauptsache beziehen sich die Alltagserfahrungen und –wahrnehmungen von TschechInnen auf das grenzüberschreitende Einkaufen und Konsumieren von Dienstleistungen. Vor dem Hintergrund der Sprachbarriere, einem weitgehenden medialen Vakuum, der Absenz familiärer Erzählungen oder filmischer Narrative kommt der Wahrnehmung aus der KonsumentInnenperspektive für die Vorstellungen der GesprächsteilnehmerInnen von TschechInnen überproportionale Bedeutung zu. Die einseitigen Alltagswahrnehmungen aus der KonsumentInnenperspektive werden durch die unterschwellige Wahrnehmung der wirtschaftlichen Asymmetrie grundiert und führen zu weiteren Asymmetriekonstruktionen.

description: This study explores the overlap between text summarization and simplification outputs. While summarization evaluation methods are streamlined, simplification lacks cohesion, prompting the question: how closely can abstractive summarization resemble gold-standard simplification? We address this by applying two BART-based BRIO summarization methods to the Newsela corpus, comparing outputs with manually annotated simplifications and achieving a top ROUGE-L score of 0.654. This provides insight into where summarization and simplification outputs converge and differ.

description: Hyperluminous supersoft X-ray sources, such as bright extragalactic sources characterized by particularly soft X-ray spectra, offer a unique opportunity to study accretion onto supermassive black holes in extreme conditions. Examples of hyperluminous supersoft sources are tidal disruption events, systems exhibiting quasi-periodic eruptions, changing-look AGN, and anomalous nuclear transients. Although these objects are rare phenomena amongst the population of X-ray sources, we developed an efficient algorithm to identify promising candidates exploiting archival observations. In this work, we present the results of a search for hyperluminous supersoft X-ray sources in the recently released Chandra catalog of serendipitous X-ray sources. This archival search has been performed via both a manual implementation of the algorithm we developed and a novel machine-learning-based approach. This search identified a new tidal disruption event, which might have occurred in an intermediate-mass black hole. This event occurred between 2001 and 2002, making it one of the first tidal disruption events ever observed by Chandra.

description: In supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories (SYM) tension-degenerate domain walls are typical. Adding matter fields in fundamental representation we arrive at supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) supporting similar walls. We demonstrate that the degenerate domain walls can belong to one of two classes: (i) locally distinguishable, i.e. those which differ from each other locally (which could be detected in local measurements); and (ii) those which have identical local structure and are differentiated only topologically, through a judicially chosen compactification of $\mathbb{R}^4$. Depending on the number of flavors $F$ and the pattern of Higgsing both classes can coexists among SQCD $k$ walls interpolating between the vacua $n$ and $n+k$. We prove that the overall multiplicity of the domain walls obtained after accounting for both classes is $ν_{N,k}^\text{walls}= N!/\big[(N-k)!k!\big]$, as was discovered previously in limiting cases. (Here $N$ is the number of colors.) Thus, $ν_{N,k}^\text{walls}$ is a peculiar index. For the locally distinguishable degenerate domain walls we observe two-wall junctions, a phenomenon specific for supersymmetry with central extensions. This phenomenon does not exist for topological replicas.

description: We investigate combined effects of gravitational field and spatial topology on the fermionic condensate (FC) for a massive Dirac field in locally anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime with a part of spatial dimensions compactified to a torus. For general phases in the periodicity conditions along compact dimensions the topological Casimir contribution is explicitly extracted and the renormalization is reduced to the one for purely AdS spacetime. The FC is an even periodic function of the magnetic flux enclosed by compact dimension with the period of flux quantum. The topological contribution vanishes on the AdS boundary and dominates in the total FC in the region near the AdS horizon. For proper lengths of compact dimensions smaller than the AdS curvature radius the influence of the gravitational field is weak and the leading term in the corresponding expansion coincides with the FC for a locally Minkowski spacetime with compact dimensions. For large proper lengths the decay of the topological FC follows a power law for both massless and massive field, in contrast to an exponential decay in Minkowski bulk for massive fields. Applications are discussed for 2D Dirac materials.

We show that the Higgs bosons is always out of chemical abundance equilibrium with a fugacity $Υ_h = 0.69$ due to virtual decay channels. Additionally, Higgs momentum distribution is found to be ``cold'' for $T<25$\,GeV, since the scattering rate drops below the production rate.

description: The measurement of spin-precession and orbital eccentricity in gravitational-wave (GW) signals is a key priority in GW astronomy, as these effects not only provide insights into the astrophysical formation and evolution of compact binaries but also, if neglected, could introduce significant biases in parameter estimation, searches, and tests of General Relativity. Despite the growing potential of upcoming LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing runs and future detectors to measure eccentric-precessing signals, accurately and efficiently modeling them remains a challenge. In this work, we present pyEFPE, a frequency-domain post-Newtonian (PN) waveform model for the inspiral of precessing-eccentric compact binaries. pyEFPE improves upon previous models by introducing analytical expressions for the Fourier mode amplitudes, enhancing the numerical stability of the multiple scale analysis framework, and adding recently derived PN corrections, critical to accurately describe signals in GW detectors. Additionally, we simplify the numerical implementation and introduce a scheme to interpolate the amplitudes, achieving a speedup of up to ~O(15) in the waveform computations, making the model practical for data analysis applications. We thoroughly validate pyEFPE by comparing it to other waveform models in the quasi-circular and eccentric-spin-aligned limits, finding good agreement. Additionally, we demonstrate pyEFPE's capability to analyze simulated GW events, accurately recovering the parameters of signals described by both pyEFPE and IMRPhenomXP. While pyEFPE still lacks important physical effects, such as higher-order PN corrections, higher-order modes, mode asymmetries, tidal interactions or the merger-ringdown phase, it represents a significant step towards more complete waveform models, offering a flexible and efficient framework that can be extended in future work to incorporate these effects.

title: Zusammenhang zwischen der Selbsteinschätzung kognitiver Fähigkeiten und psychometrisch gemessenen kognitiven Fähigkeiten
Creators: name: Thomas, Laura
Year: 2011

description: In dieser Studie wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen den selbsteingeschätzten und psycho-metrisch gemessenen kognitiven Fähigkeiten untersucht. Dabei gaben n = 109 reale Bewerber, entweder vor oder nach der Bearbeitung einer Intelligenz-Test-Batterie, für die sieben Primärfähigkeiten sensu Thurstone (1938), ihre Selbsteinschätzungen hinsichtlich ihrer Intelligenz ab. Für die Beziehung der selbsteingeschätzten und der psychometrisch gemessenen globalen Intelligenz ergab sich eine niedrige Korrelation, die kein signifikantes Ausmaß erreichte. Für den numerischen Faktor resultierte eine signifikante Korrelation (r = -.401), was darauf hinweist, dass reale Bewerber in diesem Bereich genauere Einschätzungen lieferten. Im Rahmen dieser Studie wurde auch die Güte der Selbsteinschätzung in Abhängigkeit der Vorgabebedingung der Fragebogen vor oder nach der Bearbeitung der Intelligenz-Test-Batterie untersucht. Mit Ausnahme des numerischen Bereichs, wo ein signifikanter Unterschied festzustellen war, hatte die Reihenfolge der Fragebogendarbietung keinen Einfluss auf die Selbsteinschätzung. In der Einschätzung der allgemeinen Intelligenz wurden keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern beobachtet. Männer schätzten sich im Bereich verbal comprehension besser als Frauen ein. Personen mit niedrigerer Schulbildung gaben für die räumlich-figurale Vorstellungsfähigkeit höhere Selbstbeurteilungen ab als jene mit Maturaniveaus.
description: The present thesis investigates the coherence between self-evaluated cognitive abilities and psychometrically assessed cognitive abilities. In this regard, n = 109 job applicants evaluated their intelligence either before or after attending an intelligence test battery based on the seven primary mental abilities sensu Thurstone (1938). The results reveal a non-significant correlation between the self-evaluated and the psychometrically assessed global intelligence of the participants. Furthermore a significant correlation-coefficient of (r = -.401) between the self- evaluated and measured numerical ability has been obtained, suggesting a higher accuracy in the self-evaluation of the just mentioned factor. The study also examined whether or not the quality of the self-assessment of the participants varies depending on the point in time when the self-assessment questionnaires were completed. The findings yield a significant difference only in connection with the numerical ability. Finally, an analysis of the influence of demographical factors such as gender and education on the self-evaluation occurred, revealing no significant differences between genders. Male participants evaluated themselves as being more skilled in the verbal comprehension ability compared to their female counterparts and persons without the general qualification for university entrance evaluated themselves as being more competent regarding spatial abilities compared to the participants with higher educational background.

description: This study evaluates the performance and usability of Mixed Reality (MR), Virtual Reality (VR), and camera stream interfaces for remote error resolution tasks, such as correcting warehouse packaging errors. Specifically, we consider a scenario where a robotic arm halts after detecting an error, requiring a remote operator to intervene and resolve it via pick-and-place actions. Twenty-one participants performed simulated pick-and-place tasks using each interface. A linear mixed model (LMM) analysis of task resolution time, usability scores (SUS), and mental workload scores (NASA-TLX) showed that the MR interface outperformed both VR and camera interfaces. MR enabled significantly faster task completion, was rated higher in usability, and was perceived to be less cognitively demanding. Notably, the MR interface, which projected a virtual robot onto a physical table, provided superior spatial understanding and physical reference cues. Post-study surveys further confirmed participants' preference for MR over other interfaces.

description: Recently, large language models (LLMs) have been deployed to tackle various software engineering (SE) tasks like code generation, significantly advancing the automation of SE tasks. However, assessing the quality of these LLM-generated code and text remains challenging. The commonly used Pass@k metric necessitates extensive unit tests and configured environments, demands a high labor cost, and is not suitable for evaluating LLM-generated text. Conventional metrics like BLEU, which measure only lexical rather than semantic similarity, have also come under scrutiny. In response, a new trend has emerged to employ LLMs for automated evaluation, known as LLM-as-a-judge. These LLM-as-a-judge methods are claimed to better mimic human assessment than conventional metrics without relying on high-quality reference answers. Nevertheless, their exact human alignment in SE tasks remains unexplored.
 In this paper, we empirically explore LLM-as-a-judge methods for evaluating SE tasks, focusing on their alignment with human judgments. We select seven LLM-as-a-judge methods that utilize general-purpose LLMs, alongside two LLMs specifically fine-tuned for evaluation. After generating and manually scoring LLM responses on three recent SE datasets of code translation, code generation, and code summarization, we then prompt these methods to evaluate each response. Finally, we compare the scores generated by these methods with human evaluation. The results indicate that output-based methods reach the highest Pearson correlation of 81.32 and 68.51 with human scores in code translation and generation, achieving near-human evaluation, noticeably outperforming ChrF++, one of the best conventional metrics, at 34.23 and 64.92. Such output-based methods prompt LLMs to output judgments directly, and exhibit more balanced score distributions that resemble human score patterns. Finally, we provide...

description: We show that gravity field equations based on a tensor with rank greater than 2 have consistency problems in the sense that integration constants in the solutions, such as the parameter $m$ in the Schwarzschild metric, do not allow for an interpretation in terms of conserved quantities in the theory. The recently introduced Conformal Killing Gravity, an interesting extension of General Relativity that inherits all the solutions of the latter, and defined with a rank-3 tensor field equation that does not arise from a diffeomorphism-invariant action, is plagued with this problem. In this theory, it is not clear at all how one can define the energy and angular momentum for black hole solutions, or define the analogues of the formulas, such as the quadrupole formula, in the weak field limit for gravitational waves emitted by compact sources.

title: Tod des Körpers - Auferstehung des Leibes
Creators: name: Kapsreiter, Adriana Alexandra Elisabeth
Year: 2011

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit widmet sich der Bedeutung der Reliefdarstellungen des Sarkophags S. Maria Antiqua, der als eines der frühesten Exemplare eines vorkonstantinischen Sarkophags mit eindeutig christlichem Inhalt anzusehen ist. Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchungen werden zu Beginn grundsätzliche Ausgangsbedingungen der spätantiken bzw. frühchristlichen Sepulkralkunst herausgestellt. Dazu gehört die Konzeption der römischen Grabbezirke mit ihren Grabbauten ebenso wie die Entwicklung des Mediums Sarkophag von seinen griechischen Wurzeln bis ins 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Gerade die römische Sarkophagproduktion spielt für die weiteren Überlegungen eine besondere Rolle, da sowohl pagane, als auch christliche Sarkophage in denselben Werkstätten gefertigt wurden. Der Hauptteil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Analyse und Herleitung der im Fallbeispiel S. Maria Antiqua dargestellten Reliefszenen. Von besonderem Interesse ist dabei die Beziehung der Motive zu den paganen Vorbildern, die sowohl ikonographisch, als auch stilistisch und konzeptuell in diesen frühen christlichen Sarkophag eingeflossen sind. Bei den dargestellten Szenen kann dabei grundsätzlich unterschieden werden zwischen konkret christlichen Motiven, die sich inhaltlich auf das christliche Bekenntnis beziehen, und 'neutralen' Motiven, die sowohl von christlicher, als auch paganer Seite verwendet werden konnten. In beiden Fällen spielt die Ikonographie der paganen Sarkophage eine große Rolle und kann auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen nachgewiesen werden. Der Sarkophag S. Maria Antiqua zeigt die fragmentarische und unsystematische Übernahme verschiedener und zumeist pagan beeinflusster Versatzstücke, die erst durch die Kombination und den Kontext der Zeit christlich interpretierbar werden. Schließlich wird in dieser Arbeit der Versuch unternommen, einen Bezug zwischen den bildlichen Darstellungen der Sepulkralplastik und den zeitgleichen Vorstellungen von der Sterblichkeit des Körpers, von Tod und Jenseits herzustellen. Ein wichtiger Schlüsselbegriff ist dabei der Leib, dem in der christlichen Vorstellung die Auferstehung am Jüngsten Tage zuteil wird, während sich die pagane Sepulkralkultur mehr auf den Körper als sterblicher Überrest der diesseitigen Identität zu konzentrieren scheint. Der Fall S. Maria Antiqua lässt dabei vermuten, dass sich die frühe christliche Gemeinde nicht nur in der Sarkophagplastik an der pagane römische Umwelt orientiert hat, sondern dass sich auch im Bezug auf die Vorstellungen von Tod und Jenseits im 3. Jahrhundert keine klare Trennlinien zwischen christlicher und paganer Welt ziehen lassen.

description: In a fluid environment, flagellated microswimmers propel themselves by rotating their flagella. The morphology of these flagella significantly influences forward speed, swimming efficiency, and directional stability, which are critical for their survival. This study begins by simulating the three-dimensional motion trajectories of microswimmers to analyze their kinematic characteristics. The simulation results demonstrate that microswimmers can actively adjust their forward direction by modifying the orientation of their flagella. We subsequently perform numerical simulations to visualize the flow fields generated by a microswimmer and examine the hydrodynamic interactions between the cell body and the flagella, focusing on their impacts on forward speed and swimming efficiency. We conclude that forward speed and swimming efficiency are closely related to the filament radius, pitch angle, and contour length of the flagella, while the yaw angle of locomotion is determined by the helix radius and contour length of the flagella. We conclude that the pitch angle for maximum forward speed is slightly smaller than that for maximum swimming efficiency, which suggests that microswimmers can effectively alternate between states of maximum forward speed and maximum swimming efficiency by fine-tuning their pitch angle and adapting to varying ecological conditions. These morphological characteristics of microswimmers may result from species competition and natural selection. This research establishes an optimized model for microswimmers, providing valuable insights for the design of enhanced microrobots tailored to specific applications.

description: Finding the best parametrization for cosmological models in the absence of first-principle theories is an open question. We propose a data-driven parametrization of cosmological models given by the disentangled 'latent' representation of a variational autoencoder (VAE) trained to compress cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature power spectra. We consider a broad range of $Λ$CDM and beyond-$Λ$CDM cosmologies with an additional early dark energy (EDE) component. We show that these spectra can be compressed into 5 ($Λ$CDM) or 8 (EDE) independent latent parameters, as expected when using temperature power spectra alone, and which reconstruct spectra at an accuracy well within the Planck errors. These latent parameters have a physical interpretation in terms of well-known features of the CMB temperature spectrum: these include the position, height and even-odd modulation of the acoustic peaks, as well as the gravitational lensing effect. The VAE also discovers one latent parameter which entirely isolates the EDE effects from those related to $Λ$CDM parameters, thus revealing a previously unknown degree of freedom in the CMB temperature power spectrum. We further showcase how to place constraints on the latent parameters using Planck data as typically done for cosmological parameters, obtaining latent values consistent with previous $Λ$CDM and EDE cosmological constraints. Our work demonstrates the potential of a data-driven reformulation of current beyond-$Λ$CDM phenomenological models into the independent degrees of freedom to which the data observables are sensitive.

Ab initio Calculations of Electric Dipole Polarizabilities in the Li, Na and K Atoms

description: We carry out first-principle calculations of scalar and tensor components of the static electric dipole polarizabilities of six low-lying states of lithium (Li), sodium (Na) and potassium (K) alkali atoms in the linear response approach. Results are compared from the Dirac-Hartree-Fock (DHF) method, third-order many-body perturbation theory (MBPT(3) method), random phase approximation (RPA) and singles and doubles approximated relativistic coupled-cluster theory (RCCSD method). We find the DHF and RPA results are close to each other, while the MBPT(3) and RCCSD results are close to each other. This suggests that pair-correlation effects play significant roles over core-polarization effects to determine these quantities accurately in the above alkali atoms. We also compare contributions arising through the core, core-valence and valence correlations through all the methods in Li, Na and K, which show that the core-valence contributions are negligibly small in all the methods and there is no particular trends of the core and valence correlation contributions with the size of the atom. Uncertainties to the RCCSD results are estimated to quote the final values, and they are compared with the previous calculations and experimental results.

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle von Differenz und Grenzen bei der Identitätsbildung. Des Weiteren wird untersucht welche Bedeutung Migration, Konfliktwahrnehmung und Heimat in diesem Prozess spielen. Die Beschäftigung mit diesen Fragen fand auf individueller (im Bezug auf die Selbst-Wahrnehmung) und auf kollektiver (Gemeinschaftsbewusstsein) Ebene am Beispiel irischer MigrantInnen in Bristol/England statt. Die verwendete Interviewmethode war das problemzentrierte Interview nach Witzel (1982). In einem Zeitraum von sieben Wochen sprach ich mit sechs irischen MigrantInnen der ersten Generation. Die gewonnenen Daten wurden mit Hilfe des Auswertungsverfahrens nach Schmidt (2007) analysiert. Durch kritische Reflexion von Konzepten und Theorien, in Verbindung mit den Erzählungen meiner InterviewpartnerInnen, entstanden die folgenden Ergebnisse. Identität wird als Konstrukt verstanden. Sie ist dynamisch, kontradiktorisch und multipel. Zentral sind die Themen agency und Kontextabhängigkeit. Auf individueller Ebene wird ein schwaches Identitätskonzept vertreten – das „Andere“ wird als existierend respektiert, Differenzen begründen sich aber nicht wechselseitig. Auf Gemeinschaftsebene wird die Bedeutung von Abgrenzungen anerkannt. Eine ausschließliche Konzentration auf Grenzen würde jedoch zentrale Elemente kollektiver Identität – die Konzentration auf und Identifikation mit einen/m Kern (Erfahrungen, Erinnerungen, Interessen, Werte, Orientierungen) – übersehen. Grenzen sind – wie Identität - wandelbar und verhandelbar. In diesen Prozessen des Aushandelns durch Interaktion spielen Migration, Konflikt und Heimat unterschiedliche Rollen. Alle drei Faktoren haben jedoch Auswirkungen auf das Selbst- und Gruppen-Bewusstsein, wobei Kontext, Fremdwahrnehmung und Macht die individuelle Selbstwahrnehmung und Zugehörigkeiten prägen. Mit ihrem konstruktivistischen Verständnis von Identität, in Verbindung mit einer anthropologischen Perspektive auf Migration, sieht sich die Arbeit als Beitrag zur anthropologischen Debatte um Identität.
