description: U.S. sugar industry concentration was highlighted when the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) sued to stop the United
States Sugar Corporation (U.S. Sugar) from acquiring the sugar assets of Louis Dreyfus Co (a.k.a. Imperial Sugar) in
2021. This EBOT—the third and final in a series—outlines geographic and firm concentration in the U.S. cane sugar
refining industry. This analysis includes traditional as well as non-traditional refiners. Non-traditional refiners, including Sugaright, Sucro, and California Sugar Refiners, are relative newcomers to the industry and primarily produce refined liquid sugar. While closings and acquisitions increased concentration based on only traditional raw sugar refining capacity, increasing non-traditional refining capacity offsets some of that concentration.

description: In previous work arXiv:1009.4135 we have shown that the soft breaking of the BRST symmetry arising within the Gribov-Zwanziger framework can be converted into a linear breaking, while preserving the nilpotency of the BRST operator. Due to its compatibility with the Quantum Action Principle, the linearly broken BRST symmetry directly translates into a set of Slavnov-Taylor identities. We show that these identities guarantee the multiplicative renormalizability of both Gribov-Zwanziger and Refined Gribov-Zwanziger theories to all orders. The known property that only two renormalization factors are needed is recovered. The non-renormalization theorem of the gluon-ghost-antighost vertex as well as the renormalization factor of the Gribov parameter are derived within the linearly broken formulation.

description: The physical properties of brown dwarf companions found to orbit nearby, solar-type stars can be benchmarked against independent measures of their mass, age, chemical composition, and other parameters, offering insights into the evolution of substellar objects. The TRENDS high-contrast imaging survey has recently discovered a (mass/age/metallicity) benchmark brown dwarf orbiting the nearby (d=18.69+/-0.19 pc), G8V/K0V star HD 4747. We have acquired follow-up spectroscopic measurements of HD 4747 B using the Gemini Planet Imager to study its spectral type, effective temperature, surface gravity, and cloud properties. Observations obtained in the H-band and K1-band recover the companion and reveal that it is near the L/T transition (T1+/-2). Fitting atmospheric models to the companion spectrum, we find strong evidence for the presence of clouds. However, spectral models cannot satisfactorily fit the complete data set: while the shape of the spectrum can be well-matched in individual filters, a joint fit across the full passband results in discrepancies that are a consequence of the inherent color of the brown dwarf. We also find a $2σ$ tension in the companion mass, age, and surface gravity when comparing to evolutionary models. These results highlight the importance of using benchmark objects to study "secondary effects" such as metallicity, non-equilibrium chemistry, cloud parameters, electron conduction, non-adiabatic cooling, and other subtleties affecting emergent spectra. As a new L/T transition benchmark, HD 4747 B warrants further investigation into the modeling of cloud physics using higher resolution spectroscopy across a broader range of wavelengths, polarimetric observations, and continued Doppler radial velocity and astrometric monitoring.

Effective transient behaviour of inclusions in diffusion problems
Creators: name: Brassart, Laurence
name: Stainier, Laurent
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper is concerned with the effective transport properties of heterogeneous media in which there is a high contrast between the phase diffusivities. In this case the transient response of the slow phase induces a memory effect at the macroscopic scale, which needs to be included in a macroscopic continuum description. This paper focuses on the slow phase, which we take as a dispersion of inclusions of arbitrary shape. We revisit the linear diffusion problem in such inclusions in order to identify the structure of the effective (average) inclusion response to a chemical load applied on the inclusion boundary. We identify a chemical creep function (similar to the creep function of viscoelasticity), from which we construct estimates with a reduced number of relaxation modes. The proposed estimates admit an equivalent representation based on a finite number of internal variables. These estimates allow us to predict the average inclusion response under arbitrary time-varying boundary conditions at very low computational cost. A heuristic generalisation to concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient is also presented. The proposed estimates for the effective transient response of an inclusion can serve as a building block for the formulation of multi-inclusion homogenisation schemes.

description: We discuss the surface spectral function of superconductors realized from a topological insulator, such as the copper-intercalated Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$. These functions are calculated by projecting bulk states to the surface for two different models proposed previously for the topological insulator. Dependence of the surface spectra on the symmetry of the bulk pairing order parameter is discussed with particular emphasis on the odd-parity pairing. Exotic spectra like an Andreev bound state connected to the topological surface states are presented.

Suzaku Detection of an Intense X-Ray Flare from an A-type Star HD161084

description: We report a serendipitous detection of an intense X-ray flare from the Tycho reference source HD 161084 during a Suzaku observation of the Galactic Center region for 20 ks. The X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) recorded a flare from this A1-type dwarf or subgiant star with a flux of 1.4x10^{-12} erg s^{-1} cm^{-2} (0.5--10 keV) and a decay time scale of 0.5 hr. The spectrum is hard with a prominent Fe XXV K alpha emission line at 6.7 keV, which is explained by a 5 keV thin-thermal plasma model attenuated by a 1.4x10^{21} cm^{-2} extinction. The low extinction, which is consistent with the optical reddening, indicates that the source is a foreground star toward the Galactic Center region. Based on the spectroscopic parallax distance of 530 pc, the peak X-ray luminosity amounts to 1x10^{32} erg s^{-1} (0.5--10 keV). This is much larger than the X-ray luminosity of ordinary late-type main-sequence stars, and the X-ray emission is unattributable to a hidden late-type companion that comprises a wide binary system with the A-star. We discuss possible natures of HD 161084 and suggest that it is most likely an interacting binary with elevated magnetic activity in the companion such as the Algol-type system. The flux detected by Suzaku during the burst is 100 times larger than the quiescent level measured using the archived XMM-Newton and Chandra data. The large flux amplification makes this star a unique example among sources of this class.

description: With petascale computers only a year or two away there is a pressing need to anticipate and compensate for a probable increase in failure and application interruption rates. Researchers, designers and integrators have available to them far too little detailed information on the failures and interruptions that even smaller terascale computers experience. The information that is available suggests that application interruptions will become far more common in the coming decade, and the largest applications may surrender large fractions of the computer’s resources to taking checkpoints and restarting from a checkpoint after an interruption. This paper reviews sources of failure information for compute clusters and storage systems, projects failure rates and the corresponding decrease in application effectiveness, and discusses coping strategies such as application-level checkpoint compression and system level process-pairs fault-tolerance for supercomputing. The need for a public repository for detailed failure and interruption records is particularly concerning, as projections from one architectural family of machines to another are widely disputed. To this end, this paper introduces the Computer Failure Data Repository and issues a call for failure history data to publish in it.

description: We use observations of spatially-aligned C II, C IV, Si II, Si IV, and O I absorbers to probe the slope and intensity of the ultraviolet background (UVB) at $z \sim 6$. We accomplish this by comparing observations with predictions from a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation using three trial UVBs applied in post-processing: a spectrally soft, fluctuating UVB calculated using multi-frequency radiative transfer; a soft, spatially-uniform UVB; and a hard, spatially-uniform "quasars-only" model. When considering our paired high-ionization absorbers (C IV/Si IV), the observed statistics strongly prefer the hard, spatially-uniform UVB. This echoes recent findings that cosmological simulations generically underproduce strong C IV absorbers at $z>5$. A single low/high ionization pair (Si II/Si IV), by contrast, shows a preference for the HM12 UVB, while two more (C II/C IV and O I/C IV) show no preference for any of the three UVBs. Despite this, future observations of specific absorbers, particularly Si IV/C IV, with next-generation telescopes probing to lower column densities should yield tighter constraints on the UVB.

description: Matthew Greer offers us a powerful, refreshing and thought-provoking critique of posthumanist approaches in archaeology as he sees them through the lens of Black Studies. He asks us to leave aside—temporarily—concerns with anthropocentrism to concentrate instead on the human side of the equation, while nonetheless positioning himself in line with posthumanist efforts to dismantle the human–non-human divide. The crux of Greer's arguments is that posthumanist approaches do not go far enough in distancing themselves from humanism for two reasons. First, humanity remains (tacitly) equated with white, heterosexual, economically well-off men, a single group that forms the scale against which all other people are measured. Second, posthumanist approaches do not acknowledge that racism and related forms of oppression were integral to the emergence of humanism and not a by-product of it.

description: Reflectance, transmittance and absorbance of a symmetric light pulse, the carrying frequency of which is close to the frequency of interband transitions in a quantum well, are calculated. Energy levels of the quantum well are assumed discrete, and two closely located excited levels are taken into account. The theory is applicable for the quantum wells of arbitrary widths when the size quantization is preserved. A distinction of refraction indices of barriers and quantum well is taken into account. In such a case, some additional reflection from the quantum well borders appears which changes essentially a shape of the reflected pulse in comparison to homogeneous medium. The reflection from the borders disappears at some definite ratios of the carrying frequency of the stimulating pulse and quantum well width.

description: Quantum networks scale the advantages of quantum communication protocols to more than just two distant users. Here we present a fully connected quantum network architecture in which a single entangled photon source distributes quantum states to a multitude of users. Our network architecture thus minimizes the resources required of each user without sacrificing security or functionality. As no adaptations of the source are required to add users, the network can readily be scaled to a large number of clients, whereby no trust in the provider of the quantum source is required. Unlike previous attempts at multi-user networks, which have been based on active components, and thus limited to some duty cycle, our implementation is fully passive and thus provides the potential for unprecedented quantum communication speeds. We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of our approach using a single source of bi-partite polarization entanglement which is multiplexed into 12 wavelength channels to distribute 6 states between 4 users in a fully connected graph using only 1 fiber and polarization analysis module per user.

description: With the increase in the bandwidth & the transmission speed over the internet, transmission of multimedia objects like video, audio, images has become an easier work. In this paper we provide an approach that can be useful for transmission of video objects over the internet without much fuzz. The approach provides a ontology based framework that is used to establish an automatic deployment of video transmission system. Further the video is compressed using the structural flow mechanism that uses the wavelet principle for compression of video frames. Finally the video transmission algorithm known as RRDBFSF algorithm is provided that makes use of the concept of restrictive flooding to avoid redundancy thereby increasing the efficiency.

description: The Kepler-9 system harbors three known transiting planets. The system holds significant interest for several reasons. First, the outer two planets exhibit a period ratio that is close to a 2:1 orbital commensurability, with attendant dynamical consequences. Second, both planets lie in the planetary mass "desert" that is generally associated with the rapid gas agglomeration phase of the core accretion process. Third, there exist attractive prospects for accurately measuring both the sky-projected stellar spin-orbit angles as well as the mutual orbital inclination between the planets in the system. Following the original \textit{Kepler} detection announcement in 2010, the initially reported orbital ephemerides for Kepler-9~b and c have degraded significantly, due to the limited time base-line of observations on which the discovery of the system rested. Here, we report new ground-based photometric observations and extensive dynamical modeling of the system. These efforts allow us to photometrically recover the transit of Kepler-9~b, and thereby greatly improve the predictions for upcoming transit mid-times. Accurate ephemerides of this system are important in order to confidently schedule follow-up observations of this system, for both in-transit Doppler measurements as well as for atmospheric transmission spectra taken during transit.

description: Using deep HST/ACS observations, we demonstrate that the sub-solar stellar initial mass function (IMF) of 6 ultra-faint dwarf Milky Way Satellites (UFDs) is more bottom light than the IMF of the Milky Way disk. Our data have a lower mass limit of about 0.45 M$_{\odot}$, while the upper limit is $\sim 0.8$ M$_\odot$, set by the turn-off mass of these old, metal poor systems. If formulated as a single power law, we obtain a shallower IMF slope than the "Salpeter" value of $-2.3$, ranging from $-1.01$ for Leo IV, to $-1.87$ for Boötes I. The significance of such deviations depends on the galaxy and is typically 95\% or more. When modeled as a log-normal, the IMF fit results in a larger peak mass than in the Milky Way disk, however a Milky Way disk value for the characteristic system mass ($\sim0.22$ M$_{\odot}$) is excluded only at 68\% significance, and only for some UFDs in the sample. We find that the IMF slope correlates well with the galaxy mean metallicity and, to a lesser degree, with the velocity dispersion and the total mass. The strength of the observed correlations is limited by shot noise in the number of observed stars, but future space-based missions like JWST and WFIRST will both enhance the number of dwarf Milky Way Satellites that can be studied in such detail, and the observation depth for individual galaxies.

description: Modern science has available to it, and is more productively pursued with, massive amounts of data, typically either gathered from sensors or output from some simulation or processing. The table below shows a sampling of data sets that a few scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have available to them or intend to construct soon. Data Intensive Scalable Computing (DISC) couples computational resources with the data storage and access capabilities to handle massive data science quickly and efficiently. Our topic in this extended abstract is the effectiveness of the data intensive file systems embedded in a DISC system. We are interested in understanding the differences between data intensive file system implementations and high performance computing (HPC) parallel file system implementations. Both are used at comparable scale and speed. Beyond feature inclusions, which we expect to evolve as data intensive file systems see wider use, we find that performance does not need to be vastly different. A big source of difference is seen in their approaches to data failure tolerance: replication in DISC file systems versus RAID in HPC parallel file systems. We address the inclusion of RAID in a DISC file system to dramatically increase the effective capacity available to users.

Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 – Paneuropäische Parteien zur Rettung Europas?
Creators: name: Schuster, Simon
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Parteienwissenschaften
Year: 2018

description: Der EU lässt sich - trotz mancher potiver Entwicklungen - nach wie vor in ihrer rechtlichen Verfasstheit ein demokratisches Legitimationsproblem bescheinigen. Die Kritik an der demokratischen Rückbindung europäischer Entscheidungen im komplexen Geflecht europäischer Kompetenzverschränkungen und Gewaltenteilung ist eine, die schon immer und immer stärker in den öffentlichen aber auch rechtswissenschaftlichen Fokus gerückt ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund gründete sich Anfang 2016 die paneuropäische politische Bewegung Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM oder DiEM25) und verfolgte die Idee eines gesamteuropäischen Programms und einer paneuropäischen Liste. Damit unterschied sich DiEM ganz erheblich von den bestehenden politischen transeuropäischen Parteienstrukturen. Der Beitrag setzt sich mit den (europa-)rechtlichen Hindernissen für paneuropäische Parteien auseinander. Näher in den Blick genommen werden neben der rechtlichen Ausgangslage im europäischen Primärrecht (Art. 10 Abs. 4 EUV) vor allem auch die sekundärrechtlichen Konkretisierungen (Richtlinie für die Wahl zum Europaparlament - sog. Direktwahlakt, Verordnung über das Statut und die Finanzierung europäischer politischer Parteien und europäischer Stiftungen - sog. Parteienstatut).

description: The integrable structure of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is based on Shastry's R-matrix and the Yangian of a centrally extended sl(2|2) superalgebra. Alcaraz and Bariev have shown that the model admits an integrable deformation whose R-matrix has recently been found. This R-matrix is of trigonometric type and here we derive its underlying exceptional quantum affine algebra. We also show how the algebra reduces to the above mentioned Yangian and to the conventional quantum affine sl(2|2) algebra in two special limits.

Parteienvertrauen in Deutschland 2017: Ausmaß und Determinanten
Creators: name: Angenendt, Michael
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Parteienwissenschaften
Year: 2018

description: Das Vertrauen der Bürger in die politischen Institutionen ihres Landes lässt sich als Potenzial bzw. gesellschaftliche Ressource verstehen, mit der soziale, wirtschaftliche und politische Krisen leichter überwunden werden können als in der Abwesenheit politischen Vertrauens. Der Beitrag geht in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff des Vertrauens der Frage nach, wer wem bzw. welchen politischen Institutionen aus welchen Gründen vertraut.

Damit ist kein Staat zu machen: Von Verfassungsfeinden und einem weiteren Problem mit der Verfassungstreue
Creators: name: Bäcker, Alexandra
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Parteienwissenschaften
Year: 2018

description: Die NPD wollte in der Stadthalle Wetzlar eine Wahlkampfveranstaltung abhalten und erstritt sich dieses Recht über alle Instanzen im Eilrechtsschutz bis zum Bundesverfassungsgericht. Gleichwohl verweigerte die Stadt Wetzlar - vertreten durch die zuständigen Mitarbeiter der Stadt - der NPD den Zugang zu ihrer öffentlichen Einrichtung. Der Beitrag zeigt auf, warum die darin liegende Missachtung rechtsstaatlicher Grundsätze (sowohl der Gesetzesbindung der Verwaltung wie auch des Gewaltenteilungsgrundsatzes) eine nicht zu unterschätzende Gefahr für unser Gemeinwesen darstellt.

Grundlagen zum Parteienrecht

Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Parteienwissenschaften
Year: 2018

description: Der Spiegel der Rechtsprechung zu den Grundlagen des Parteienrechts ist auch im Berichtsjahr 2017 von Entscheidungen zum Problem des staatlichen Neutraliätsgebots gegenüber Teilnehmern am politischen Wettbewerb geprägt. So setzt sich der Beitrag mit der Entscheidung des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts zur Rechtswidrigkeit der "Licht-aus"-Anordnung und des Aufrufs zur Gegendemonstration des Düsseldorfer Oberbürgermeisters anlässlich einer DÜGIDA-Demonstration auseinander. Weitere Fälle anderer Verwaltunsgerichte betrafen etwa die Kritik des Frankfurter Oberbürgermeisters über seinen Facebookaccount an der Einladung der damaligen AfD-Bundesvorsitzenden in den örtlichen Wirtschaftsclub und und das Engagement der Oberbürgermeisterin der Stadt Köln gegen den in ihrer Stadt stattfindenden Bundesparteitag der AfD. In anderen verwaltungsgerichtlichen Verfahren ging es um die Entziehung einer Waffenbesitzkarte wegen verfassungsfeindlicher Bestrebungen und ein Versammlungsverbot. Daneben nimmt der Beitrag auch zivilgerichtliche Verfahren in den Blick, so einen presserechtlichen Auskunftsanspruch in Fragen der Parteienfinanzierung (Wahlkampffinanzierung des SPD-Kanzlerkandidaten Peer Steinbrück), einen urheberrechtlichen Unterlassungsanspruch der Musikgruppe „Die Höhner“ gegen die NPD wegen der Verwendung zweier ihrer Lieder im Thüringer Wahlkampf und zwei namensrechtliche Streitigkeiten, einmal zwischen der in Bayern gegründeten „Union der Christlichen und Sozialen Demokraten“ (CDSU) und der CDU und zum anderen zwischen der AfD und der „Allianz Deutscher Demokraten“ wegen deren Kurzbezeichnung ADD. Mit einer Entscheidung des Obersten Gerichtshofs Österreichs zu einem Parteiausschluss wurde auch ein rechtsvergleichend aufschlussreiches Urteil in die Sammelbesprechung aufgenommen.

description: In the highly automated processing in broiler abattoirs, some process steps reduce the bacterial counts and inactivate or remove pathogens, while others can lead to an increase. The present study compared the reduction of Enterobacteriaceae counts (EBCs) on breast skin samples in 3 broiler abattoirs using different scalding techniques: (A) conventional immersion scalding (360 s), (B) conventional immersion scalding with thermal treatment of the water (204 s), and (C) the AeroScalder® using hot, humid, saturated air as the scalding medium (360 s in air). In 3 commercial broiler abattoirs in Germany and The Netherlands, a total of 320 breast skin samples per abattoir (before and after scalding, after plucking, before and after chilling) and water samples from the scalders were taken and examined for EBC. After scalding, a significant EBC reduction by 0.7 log was determined only for the conventional immersion scalder (Abbatoir A); the reductions of the other 2 scalders were 0.1 log (Abattoir B) and 0.2 log (Abattoir C) and not statistically significant. The EBCs after scalding differed by up to 0.5 log cfu/g when the 3 scalders were compared, and these counts can be seen as similar. For all 3 abattoirs, the largest EBC reductions (p < 0.001) of 2.8 to 3.6 logs were found after plucking. Compared to the immersion scalders, EBCs in water samples were lowest in those taken from the AeroScalder®. Hence, we conclude that the conventional immersion scalders and the AeroScalder® reduced EBCs in a comparable manner. However, the greatest reductions in EBCs were seen after the plucking steps in the studied abattoirs, not after the scalding as such.

description: Neutron scattering studies and measurements of the dielectric susceptibility and ferroelectric polarization P have been carried out in various magnetic fields H for single-crystal samples of the multiferroic system LiVCuO4 with quasi one-dimensional spin 1/2 Cu2+ chains formed of edge-sharing CuO4 square planes, and the relationship between the magnetic structure and ferroelectricity has been studied. The ferroelectric polarization is significantly suppressed by the magnetic field H above 2 T applied along a and b axes. The helical magnetic structure with the helical axis parallel to c has been confirmed in H=0, and for H//a, the spin flop transition takes place at H=2 T with increasing H, where the helical axis changes to the direction parallel to H. The ferroelectric polarization along a at H=0 is found to be proportional to the neutron magnetic scattering intensity, indicating that the magnetic order is closely related to the appearance of the ferroelectricity. The relationship between the magnetic structure and ferroelectricity of LiVCuO4 is discussed by considering the existing theories.

Chancengleichheit
Creators: name: Bäcker, Alexandra
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Parteienwissenschaften
Year: 2018

description: Diese Rubrik des Spiegels der Rechtsprechung setzt sich mit den im Berichtsjahr 2017 ergangenen Gerichtsentscheidungen zu Fragen der Chancengleichheit politischer Parteien in den Fällen auseinander, wenn ein Träger öffentlicher Gewalt den Parteien Einrichtungen zur Verfügung stellt oder andere öffentliche Leistungen gewährt (§ 5 PartG). In Wahlkampfzeiten gerät dabei stets die Wahlwerbung politischer Parteien in den Fokus. Gegenstand der gerichtlichen Auseinandersetzung war häufig der Versuch, auf kommunaler Ebene ein als „übermäßig“ empfundenes Plakatieren im Wahlkampf, also die Wahlsichtwerbung der Parteien, straßen- und/oder ordnungsrechtlich einzuschränken. Das Bestreben, etwa einer „Verschandelung der Stadt“ oder auch einer „Reizüberflutung durch Überfrachtung des öffentlichen Raumes" entgegenzuwirken, gerät dabei in Konflikt mit der Notwendigkeit einer der Parteienfreiheit und dem Chancengleichheitsgrundsatz gerecht werdenden Verteilung der Plakatierungsflächen. In Zeiten des Wahlkampfes bietet insbesondere auch die chancengleiche Teilhabe an Sendungen in Hörfunk und Fernsehen oder auch an öffentlichen Podiumsdiskussionen Anlass für Gerichtsverfahren. Daneben sind die sog. „Stadthallenfälle“, also der Zugang politischer Parteien zu öffentlichen Veranstaltungsräumen, seit eh und je Dauerbrenner unter den Rechtsstreitigkeiten. Dies gilt auch für die Geltendmachung eines Anspruchs auf Einrichtung eines Girokontos.

description: The question if the Bose statistics is broken at the TeV scale is discussed. The decay of a new heavy spin 1 gauge boson Z' into two photons, Z'-> 2 gamma, is forbidden by the Bose statistics among other general principles of quantum field theory (Landau-Yang theorem). We point out that the search for this decay can be effectively used to probe the Bose symmetry violation at the CERN LHC.

description: Die Rubrik "Parteienfinanzierung" im Spiegel der Rechtsprechung nimmt die im Zusammenhang mit der Finanzierung politischer Parteien oder ihnen nahestehender Organisationen ergangene Rechtsprechung in den Blick. Im Berichtsjahr 2017 hat das VG Berlin über die Rücknahme eines Bewilligungsbescheides über die Gewährung staatlicher Parteienfinanzierung und der Festsetzung eines Sanktionsbetrages gegen die Partei „Die PARTEI“ wegen Unrichtigkeiten des Rechenschaftsberichtes im Zusammenhang mit dem sog. Geldhandel (Aktion Geld für Geld) als Reaktion auf den Goldhandel der AfD entschieden. Der VGH Kassel befasste sich mit einer Änderung der Entschädigungssatzung einer Stadt, derzufolge eine Fraktion einer erkennbar verfassungsfeindlichen Partei von der Teilhabe an den kommunalen Fraktionszuschüssen ausgeschlossen wurde. Um die - nicht gleichheitsgerechte - Erhöhung von Zuwendungen an Fraktionen und Gruppen ging es in einem Verfahren vor dem OVG Münster, das von der Ratsgruppe Pro Köln angestrengt worden war. Vor dem BFH wurde über Zuwendungen an kommunale Wählervereinigungen gestritten.
