title: Tamoxifen boosted antifungal therapy for cryptococcal meningitis
Creators: name: Nguyễn Thị Thủy Ngân,
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: Central nervous system infections are of an important focus for clinical research, especially in tropical settings such as Vietnam. Of particular concern is cryptococcal meningitis, a leading cause of death particularly in HIV patients. These issues suggest studies to improve our understanding of the epidemiology of central nervous system infections, and to advance the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis. With this thesis, I study the changing aetiology and outcomes of central nervous system infections at Cho Ray Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and assess tamoxifen in combination with standard antifungal therapy for cryptococcal meningitis, and characterize the clinical Cryptococcus isolates as well as electrocardiograms in the tamoxifen trial.

The first results chapter, Chapter 2, I conducted a retrospective study of central nervous system infections presenting to Cho Ray Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 2008 to 2017. Cryptococcal meningitis is an especially severe CNS infection, and the basis of my thesis is an open-label randomized controlled trial of tamoxifen combined with amphotericin B and fluconazole for cryptococcal meningitis, which aimed to improve treatment outcomes. This trial is presented in Chapter 3. In chapter 4, I describe the characteristics of clinical Cryptococcus isolates in the tamoxifen trial and investigate their association with the outcomes of the trial. Because QTc prolongation can be driven by the study drug, tamoxifen, I then characterized QTc and other electrocardiogram data of patients in the tamoxifen trial, in chapter 5.

description: THE ANCIENT EXACT SCIENCES are the main subject in this collection of papers, offered in honor of Lis Brack-Bernsen by her colleagues and friends. The topics of the articles are linked by the themes that have been at the center of much of Lis’s own work: the Babylonian observational record, and the relationship between observation and theory; the gnomon, sundials, and time measurement; and the relationship between different scientific activities in the ancient world, especially the connections between mathematics and astronomy. Lis Brack-Bernsen has been a key figure in tranforming the study of Babylonian astronomy from an almost exclusive focus on the mathematical astronomy of the late period to embracing a much broader consideration of all aspects of the subject, both early and late, mathematical and observational, astronomical and astrological, and their relationships between one another. The papers demonstrate the wide variety of questions asked and approaches used by historians of ancient science.

description: Metastable austenitic stainless steel (304L) samples with a rectangular cross-section were plastically deformed in torsion during which they experienced multiaxial stresses that led to a complex martensitic phase distribution owing to the transformation induced plasticity effect. A three-dimensional characterization of the phase distributions in these cm-sized samples was carried out by wavelength-selective neutron tomography. It was found that quantitatively correct results are obtained as long as the samples do not exhibit any considerable preferential grain orientation. Optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, and finite element modeling were used to verify and explain the results obtained by neutron tomography. Altogether, neutron tomography was shown to extend the range of microstructure characterization methods towards the meso- and macroscale.

description: We construct explicit models of classical primordial standard clocks in an alternative to inflation, namely the slowly contracting ekpyrotic scenario. We study the phenomenology of massive spectator fields added to a state-of-the-art ekpyrotic model, with coupling functions that allow for these heavy fields to be classically excited while the background is slowly contracting. We perform numerical computations of the corrections to the scalar primordial power spectrum and compare with analytical estimates. Our full numerical results reveal so-called clock signals, sharp feature signals, as well as signals that link the two together. The models are found to predict oscillatory features that are resolutely different from what is calculated in inflation, and thus, such features represent unique fingerprints of a slowly contracting universe. This confirms the capability of primordial standard clocks to model-independently discriminate among very early universe scenarios.

description: This paper lists guidelines for analysts working with large data sets intended for computer storage and manipulation. Particularly when processing very large data sets, organization and planning of data collection, data preparation, and loading are extremely important. Considerable loss of time and money may result from oversights such as inconsistency in naming conventions or variable scales. Even a handful of aberrant record formats in a data set of 2000 variables could later require extra time for set merging. Careful preparation helps avoid such errors and inconvenience.
Solvent Selectivity controls Micro- versus Macro-phase Separation in Multiblock Chains

description: Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble were used to obtain critical parameters and conditions leading to microphase separation for block copolymers with solvophilic and solvophobic segments. Solvent selectivity was systematically varied to distinguish between systems that undergo macrophase separation to ones that microphase separate in the dilute phase, prior to macrophase separating. Finite-size scaling was used to obtain the critical parameters. Interestingly, corrections to scaling increase significantly for systems that form finite aggregates. The threshold value of solvent selectivity for aggregation was determined for symmetric diblock chains of varying length. The results indicate that long diblock copolymers form micelles in the dilute phase prior to macrophase separation, even in marginally selective solvents. The dependence of critical temperature on solvent selectivity was obtained for triblock, multiblock, and alternating chains. For highly selective solvents, strong structuring of both dilute and dense phases makes it harder to reach equilibrium.

description: This article analyzes research outputs in ergonomics and human factors engineering (EHFE), revealing its intellectual structure via bibliometric techniques, co-word analysis, network analysis and science visualization tools. The population comprises 23,472 records published during 2000–2018 in 19 core journals of the human factors and ergonomics subject category in Scopus. Findings showed that in EHFE fields ‘the United States’, ‘University of Central Florida’ and ‘Stanton NA’ were the most productive country, university and author, respectively. It was also found that ‘ergonomics’ was the most frequent keyword and ‘ergonomics × human factor’ the most frequent co-occurring keywords in EHFE documents. Hierarchical cluster analysis led to creation of eight topical clusters, including among others ‘biomechanics ergonomics’, ‘work-related musculoskeletal disorders & work system design’ and ‘performance’. The results indicated that ‘biomechanics ergonomics’ was a well-matured cluster while ‘human machine interaction’, ‘ergonomics design’, ‘macro-ergonomics’ and ‘cognitive ergonomics’ were found to be emerging or declining clusters.

description: Die chronologischen Implikationen der Belege für Monatslängen werden in diesem Beitrag
 anhand von zusätzlichem Material sowie von neueren astronomischen Theorien und
 Erkenntnissen über die Zeitkorrektur nachgeprüft. Die 2013 zur Verfügung stehenden Belege
 für Monatslängen sind in sich stimmig und bestätigen die Schlussfolgerungen von 1982,
 wenn auch mit etwas niedrigerer Konfidenz. Bei einem Konfidenzniveau zwischen 95 %
 und 99 % wird die lange Chronologie zu Ungunsten der mittleren Chronologien favorisiert.
 Ein Bayessches Argument verdeutlicht, dass die lange Chronologie (Ammisaduqa Jahr 1 =
 1702 v. Chr.) ungefähr 25-mal wahrscheinlicher ist als jede der anderen drei Chronologien
 (1646, 1638 oder 1582 v. Chr.). Davon unabhängig deuten auch die Ur-III-zeitlichen Belege
 auf die lange Chronologie hin (Amar-Sin Jahr 1 = 2094 v. Chr.).

description: The parasitoid wasp Trichopria drosophilae is promising as a biocontrol agent for controlling the ubiquitous pest Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura). Crucial for the successful implementation of any biocontrol agent is a high parasitisation rate by the parasitoid. Most studies investigating the parasitisation rate of D. suzukii pupae have focused on parasitisation in the fruit or in a petri dish. However, the predominant pupation site of D. suzukii in the field is the soil. Unfortunately, little is known on how well parasitoid wasps can detect and parasitise pupae of D. suzukii buried in the soil. Therefore, we conducted soil parasitisation experiments of T. drosophilae on D. suzukii pupae using two pupation depths in three different soil types (loamy sand, loam, and clay). In all three soil types, we found generally low D. suzukii pupae parasitisation rate by T. drosophilae, independent of the pupation depth. The pupation behaviour of D. suzukii and the parasitisation behaviour of T. drosophilae are discussed in detail. For pest control in most soil types, our results mean that the number of D. suzukii larvae pupating in the soil should be reduced, e.g., by adding a layer of sandy soil or covering the soil with plastic mulch. This might increase the probability of success when using T. drosophilae as a biocontrol agent.

description: A data-driven ab initio generalized Langevin equation (AIGLE) approach is developed to learn and simulate high-dimensional, heterogeneous, coarse-grained conformational dynamics. Constrained by the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, the approach can build coarse-grained models in dynamical consistency with all-atom molecular dynamics. We also propose practical criteria for AIGLE to enforce long-term dynamical consistency. Case studies of a toy polymer, with 20 coarse-grained sites, and the alanine dipeptide, with two dihedral angles, elucidate why one should adopt AIGLE or its Markovian limit for modeling coarse-grained conformational dynamics in practice.

Identification of factors and defining their significance enables improvements of OHS in the observed enterprises. The aim of the model is to assist MSEs in evaluating their qualities, pinpointing their deficiencies and ways to maximize the improvement of OHS performances. A panel of 20 experts defined the factors through an iterative process using the Delphi method. The research resulted in a model consisting of 42 OHS factors grouped into 10 categories. Model validation was carried out in the Republic of Serbia. The validation confirmed the applicability of the model as well as the relevance of factors that were determined by the panel of experts.

Die Mondgeschwindigkeitsperiode von 6247 synodischen Monaten, die der Konstruktion der Funktionen Φ und F des Systems A unterliegt, sind dadurch abzuleiten, dass man ein Vielfaches der Sarosperiode von 223 synodischen Monaten unter Verwendung der 27-jährigen Siriusperiode in eine ganzzahlige Anzahl von Sonnenjahren einpasst. Des Weiteren schlage ich vor, dass die Mondgeschwindigkeitsperiode von 251 synodischen Monaten, die für die Konstruktion von Funktion F des Systems B genutzt wird, ein direktes Ergebnis der Periode von 6247 Monaten ist. In aller Kürze diskutiere ich auch die Ursprünge der Perioden der Sonnengeschwindigkeitsfunktion B (des Systems A) und der Sonnenlängenfunktion
 A (des Systems B) und schlage vor, dass die Perioden dieser Funktionen eventuell aus einer
 präzisierten Version der 27-jährigen Siriusperiode hervorgehen. Abschließend wird der Zeitrahmen der möglicherweise schrittweisen Entwicklung der frühen Mond- und Sonnenfunktionen diskutiert.

description: This paper presents a novel approach for computing substructure characteristic modes. This method leverages electromagnetic scattering matrices and spherical wave expansion to directly decompose electromagnetic fields. Unlike conventional methods that rely on the impedance matrix generated by the method of moments (MoM), our technique simplifies the problem into a small-scale ordinary eigenvalue problem, improving numerical dynamics and computational efficiency. We have developed analytical substructure characteristic mode solutions for a scenario involving two spheres, which can serve as benchmarks for evaluating other numerical solvers. A key advantage of our method is its independence from specific MoM frameworks, allowing for the use of various numerical methods. This flexibility paves the way for substructure characteristic mode decomposition to become a universal frequency-domain technique.

description: How do societies remember their past? And how did they do so before the age of computers, printing, writing? This book takes stock of earlier work on memory in the fields of history and the social sciences. Our collection also takes a new look at how past and present social groups have memorialized events and rendered them durable through materializations: contributors ask how processes and incidents perceived as negative and disruptive are nonetheless constitutive of group identities. Papers also contrast the monumentalizing treatment given to singular events imbued with a hegemonic meaning to more localized, diverse memory places and networks. As case studies show, such memory scapes invite divergent, multivocal and subversive narratives. Various kinds of these imagined geographies lend themselves to practices of manipulation, preservation and control. The temporal scope of the volume reaches from the late Neolithic to the recent past, resulting in a long-term and multi-focal perspective that demonstrates how the perception of past events changes, acquires new layers and is molded by different groups at different points in time. As several contributions show, these manipulations of the past do not always produce the anticipated results, however. Attempts at “post-factual history” are countered by the socially distributed, but spatially and materially anchored nature of the very process of memorialization.
Solving Maxwell's Equations for a Capacitor in a DC Circuit. The Nature of the Potential Energy of a Capacitor.

description: It is shown below that in the capacitor, which is included in the DC circuit, there is an electromagnetic field and there are flows of electromagnetic energy. It has also been shown theoretically and experimentally that the flow of electromagnetic energy continues to circulate even after disconnecting from the DC voltage source. It remains even when the metal plates are removed, i.e. the capacitor's energy is stored in the capacitor dielectric even in the absence of charges. The energy that is contained in the capacitor and which is considered to be electrical potential energy is electromagnetic energy stored in the capacitor in the form of a stationary flow.

description: In recent years, the remarkable advancements in deep neural networks have brought tremendous convenience. However, the training process of a highly effective model necessitates a substantial quantity of samples, which brings huge potential threats, like unauthorized exploitation with privacy leakage. In response, we propose a framework named HiddenSpeaker, embedding imperceptible perturbations within the training speech samples and rendering them unlearnable for deep-learning-based speaker verification systems that employ large-scale speakers for efficient training. The HiddenSpeaker utilizes a simplified error-minimizing method named Single-Level Error-Minimizing (SLEM) to generate specific and effective perturbations. Additionally, a hybrid objective function is employed for human perceptual optimization, ensuring the perturbation is indistinguishable from human listeners. We conduct extensive experiments on multiple state-of-the-art (SOTA) models in the speaker verification domain to evaluate HiddenSpeaker. Our results demonstrate that HiddenSpeaker not only deceives the model with unlearnable samples but also enhances the imperceptibility of the perturbations, showcasing strong transferability across different models.

title: Genetic and Metabolic Aspects of Claw Horn Lesion Aetiopathogenesis in Holstein Cows
Creators: name: Barden, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: Sole haemorrhage (SH), sole ulcers (SU), and white line lesions (WL), collectively referred to as claw horn lesions (CHL), are important causes of lameness in dairy cattle. This thesis aimed to explore the aetiopathogenesis of CHL, with a focus on genetic and metabolic factors. A cohort of 2,352 Holstein cows was enrolled on four herds in the UK and each animal was assessed at four production stages. Data collected included detailed foot lesion records, ultrasound measurements of digital cushion thickness (DCT) and, on one herd, blood samples for analysis with proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. Pedigree records and genotypes were obtained for all animals. Single-step genetic analyses indicated sole lesions (SH and SU) had a moderate heritability, while WL had a low heritability. The genetic correlation was strong between SH and SU, moderate between SU and WL, and weak between SH and WL. The heritability estimates of DCT were low-to-moderate depending on the stage of production and location of DCT measurement. The genetic correlation between DCT and sole lesions was generally negative. The recovery of sole lesions between early and late lactation assessments was heritable and appeared only weakly genetically correlated with sole lesion susceptibility. Genome-wide association analyses of CHL and DCT traits revealed a polygenic background, with candidate genes identified relating to immunity and inflammation, as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Analysis of serum using 1H NMR spectroscopy indicated the serum metabolome could not accurately differentiate between healthy cows and those affected with sole lesions, but a small number of metabolites appeared to be associated with SU development. Finally, the potential of breeding for improved lameness resistance using national genetic indexes was assessed, and the Lameness Advantage index was significantly associated with SH and SU development. The additive genetic variance of CHL could be utilised to select for increased resistance to these lesions; novel traits such as DCT and sole lesion recovery may also be useful auxiliary traits to reduce CHL prevalence. The genetic relationships between investigated traits, in addition to the genomic regions and genes associated with CHL and DCT, provide further insights into the genetic background and potential aetiopathogenesis of CHL. The metabolic influence on CHL development is poorly understood with the results of this work suggesting the serum metabolome is not directly associated with sole lesion development, however, further metabolomic studies of CHL would be worthwhile. Breeding for reduced CHL by selecting on the Lameness Advantage index is likely to be effective, although more direct CHL traits would be more efficient. Genetic selection alongside management and environmental changes should be considered as the optimal approach to reducing CHL in dairy cattle.

description: In der Einführung des vorliegenden Sammelbands werden die Diskussionen über Erinnerung in der Archäologie in gegenwärtige Kontexte eingeordnet, unsere Beweggründe für die Herausgabe dieses Buches dargelegt und einige zentrale Aspekte von Erinnerung, Raum und Identität diskutiert. Neben einem kurzen Überblick zur Geschichte der Gedächtnisforschung mit einem Schwerpunkt auf den archäologischen Studien werden eine Reihe von Themen angesprochen, die in den Aufsätzen des vorliegenden Bandes eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dies betrifft unter anderem das Verhältnis von Vergessen und Erinnern sowie Beziehungen zwischen Raum, Ort und Erinnerung. In Einklang mit unseren AutorInnen betonen wir, dass Erinnerung eine Frage der Praktiken ist, nicht nur der Denkweise. Ein weiteres Element in unseren Diskussionen ist die Verbindung von Erinnerung, Fortbestehen und Geschichte.

description: A search for dark mesons originating from strongly-coupled, $SU(2)$ dark flavor symmetry conserving models and decaying gaugephobically to pure Standard Model final states containing top and bottom quarks is presented. The search targets fully hadronic final states and final states with exactly one electron or muon and multiple jets. The analyzed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 $fb^{-1}$ of proton$-$proton collisions collected at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess over the Standard Model background expectation is observed and the results are used to set the first direct constraints on this type of model. The two-dimensional signal space of dark pion masses $m_{π_D}$ and dark rho-meson masses $m_{ρ_D}$ is scanned. For $m_{π_D}/m_{ρ_D}=0.45$, dark pions with masses $m_{π_D}<940$ GeV are excluded at the 95% CL, while for $m_{π_D}/m_{ρ_D}=0.25$ masses $m_{π_D}<740$ GeV are excluded.

Excavating Memory, Burying History. Lessons from the Spanish Civil War

description: Dieser Beitrag handelt von einem Fall, in dem die Absicht, eine kritische Erinnerung an einen historischen Konflikt wiederzubeleben, eine bestimmte Form des Vergessens bewirkt hat. Bei dem besagten Fall handelt es sich um unsere archäologische Untersuchung auf zwei Schlachtfeldern des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs. Während der Arbeit wurde die traumatische Kriegsgeschichte durch Erinnerungspraktiken von Regierungsinstitutionen, in einem anderen Fall durch Graswurzel-Organisationen neutralisiert. Spontane Erinnerungen, die sich an Objekten festmachten, störten jedoch in beiden Fällen dieses befriedende Narrativ. Ich erläutere hier, wie ArchäologInnen materielle Erinnerung für die Erstellung kritischer Erzählungen der Vergangenheit nutzen können, um eine stärkere Reflexion in der Zivilgesellschaft zu fördern.
Public Archaeology beyond Commodities, Alienation and the Fourth Wall

description: ‚Public archaeology‘ gibt uns Mittel und Möglichkeiten an die Hand, soziopolitische und epistemische Grundlagen der Archäologie kritisch zu hinterfragen. Diese Studie untersucht miteinander verflochtene Themen einer ‚public archaeology‘ mit Fokus auf der historischen Konfliktarchäologie. Der Beitrag skizziert Vorschläge für eine Praxis der ‚public archaeology‘, die über die alltägliche Kommerzialisierung der Archäologie und den daraus resultierenden Geschäftscharakter der Beziehung zwischen ArchäologInnen und der Öffentlichkeit hinaus führt. Die Studie baut unter anderem auf den Arbeiten von Guy Debord und der Situationistischen Internationale auf.

description: Introduction: The study looked at the association between unemployment and depressive symptoms and major depression disorder worldwide and used a systematic review and meta-analysis for this purpose. Methods: Search time was limited to all articles published in English until December 2020. In the association between unemployment and depression, first, the results of qualified studies were extracted and then, the results of each study were pooled with each other using the random-effects method. Results: The prevalence of depression in the unemployed shows that this prevalence is 21% with a 95% CI [18, 24%]. This prevalence for depression symptoms is 24%, 95% CI [20, 28%] and this prevalence for major depressive disorder is 16% (95% CI 9-24%). The association between unemployment and depressive symptoms was OR=2.06, 95% CI [1.85, 2.30] and this association for the major depressive disorder was OR=1.88, 95% CI [1.57, 2.25]. The association between unemployment and depression in men was equal to OR=2.27, 95% CI [1.76, 2.93] and in women was equal to OR=1.62, 95% CI [1.40, 1.87]. Discussion: What is clear from the present study is that unemployment can lead to a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms and major depressive disorder, thereby undermining the mental health of the unemployed.

description: Pubblicata nel 2010, la Storia dell’Università di Sassari a cura di Antonello Mattone è una storia davvero ‘nuova’, oltre che essere la più recente. È stata preceduta da altre tre: quella di Pasquale Tola, di Luigi Siciliano Villanueva, di Ginevra Zanetti; al contrario delle prime due e della quarta, che abbracciano l’intero arco temporale delle vicende dell’Istituzione, la storia di Zanetti si ferma dopo la riforma sabauda del 1765...

description: The optimized effective potential (OEP) approach has so far mainly been used in benchmark studies and for the evaluation of band gaps. In this work, we extend the application of the OEP by determining the analytical ionic forces within the plane-wave and pseudopotential framework. It is first shown that, due to the constrained optimization inherent to the OEP approach, an extra term needs to be added to the standard Hellmann-Feynman expression for the forces, whenever nonlocal pseudopotentials are employed. Computing this term for functionals based on Hartree-Fock and the hybrid PBE0 functional yields forces with excellent numerical accuracy. Furthermore, results for equilibrium geometries and vibrational frequencies on a set of molecules and solids confirm that the local exchange OEP is able to reproduce results obtained with the nonlocal exchange potential. Our work opens up the possibility to study lattice dynamics using advanced orbital functionals for describing exchange and correlation effects.

Making Memory – Culturescapes and the Communication of Archaeological Meaning

description: Archäologie spielt eine einzigartige Rolle bei der Wiederentdeckung und Wiederherstellung verlorener Momente des kulturellen Gedächtnisses. Aber sie hat auch Verantwortlichkeiten über die engen Grenzen der Wissenschaft hinaus; sie sollte eine aktive Rolle in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung der Vergangenheit einnehmen. Gerade heute ist ein Verständnis der materiellen Basis unserer menschlichen Vergangenheit wichtiger als je zuvor, denn wir befinden uns in einem kritischen historischen Prozess: wir müssen lernen, die andauernde Expansion, Verflechtung und Integration der globalen materiellen Kultur zu bewältigen. Das Fach Archäologie ist jedoch von sich aus selbst-referentiell und es gelingt ihm daher oft auch nicht, die Öffentlichkeit auf diese große Herausforderung aufmerksam zu machen. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Ansatz untersucht, diese kommunikative Kluft durch die Entwicklung eines innovativen, radikal transdisziplinären Curriculums zu überbrücken.

description: The Simons Observatory is a new ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment, which is currently being commissioned in Chile's Atacama Desert. During its survey, the observatory's small aperture telescopes will map 10% of the sky in bands centered at frequencies ranging from 27 to 280 GHz to constrain cosmic inflation models, and its large aperture telescope will map 40% of the sky in the same bands to constrain cosmological parameters and use weak lensing to study large-scale structure. To achieve these science goals, the Simons Observatory is deploying these telescopes' receivers with 60,000 state-of-the-art superconducting transition-edge sensor bolometers for its first five year survey. Reading out this unprecedented number of cryogenic sensors, however, required the development of a novel readout system. The SMuRF electronics were developed to enable high-density readout of superconducting sensors using cryogenic microwave SQUID multiplexing technology. The commissioning of the SMuRF systems at the Simons Observatory is the largest deployment to date of microwave multiplexing technology for transition-edge sensors. In this paper, we show that a significant fraction of the systems deployed so far to the Simons Observatory's large aperture telescope meet baseline specifications for detector yield and readout noise in this early phase of commissioning.

massive stars

description: Hot massive stars have strong stellar winds with velocity 1000-3000 km/s that, when shocked, produce hot gas with temperature 107−108 K. This is observed as diffuse X-ray emission in Wolf-Rayet nebulae, around young star clusters, and around the nearest O star, Zeta Oph. Zeta Oph is a runaway star whose strong wind produces a bow shock from the wind-ISM interaction, and diffuse X-ray emission from the shocked wind was detected in Chandra observations. It therefore provides an excellent testbed for models of bow shocks around massive stars. We present the first 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the bow shock around Zeta Oph, calculating the X-ray luminosity and thermal emission maps as a function of energy. Simulations with a range of different assumptions are compared with infrared and re-analysed X-ray observations. In all cases the simulations underpredict the X-ray emission, and the observed morphology of the emission is not easily understood from models. This first numerical study of the bow shock and wind bubble around Zeta Oph uses a relatively simple model of a uniform ISM and ideal-magnetohydrodynamics, and can be used as a basis for comparing results from models incorporating more physical processes. The faint diffuse emission is difficult to characterise from Chandra observations, and the much greater sensitivity to such nebulae promised by ATHENA will dramatically improve our understanding of the hot ISM, stellar winds, and mixing between hot and warm ISM phases.

Staging Migration – Staging the Nation. Imagining Community at Immigration Museums
Creators: name: Baur, Joachim
Publisher: name: Edition Topoi
Year: 2017

description: Migration und Migrationsgeschichte sind zu großen Themen der globalen Museumslandschaft geworden. In diesem Beitrag wird die Ansicht vertreten, dass die etablierten Immigrations-Museen als Reaktion auf die Krise kollektiver Narrative und die Heterogenisierung kultureller Identitäten verstanden werden können. Indem sie Immigration als gängige und gemeinsame Erfahrung darstellen, konstruieren sie ein Masternarrativ der Migration und tragen so zu einer Revision der Nation als vorgestellter Gemeinschaft bei. Nach Darstellung einiger Fälle, in denen sich ein solches Narrativ als problematisch erwiesen hat, und nach Skizzierung der Lösungsversuche der Museen, plädiere ich abschließend für eine Abwendung vom ,methodologischen Nationalismus‘ in musealen Repräsentationen von Migrationsgeschichte.

description: In this paper we develop a semi-standard Young tableau (SSYT) approach to construct a basis of non-factorizable superamplitudes in N = 1 massless supersymmetry. This amplitude basis can be directly translated to a basis for higher dimensional supersymmetric operators, yielding both the number of independent operators and their form. We deal with distinguishable (massless) chiral/vector superfields at first, then generalize the result to the indistinguishable case. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this method compared to the previously studied Hilbert series approach.
