description: This paper discusses economic practices of women in the Dutch colony New Netherland. As letters, court records and engravings show, women of the 17th century were involved in the colonial transatlantic and global trade of goods — predominantly fur — in many ways. Thus the dichotomous narratives of men as global players and women as locally bound are no longer justified. Instead, we need new perspectives that focus on the gender specificity of economic activities in Early Modern Times. Suggesting to analyze the history of global enterprises in the 17th century as a history of projects this paper focuses on the risks of failure and their impact on the economic behavior of men and women alike.

description: To understand cosmic mass assembly in the Universe at early epochs, we primarily rely on measurements of stellar mass and star formation rate of distant galaxies. In this paper, we present stellar masses and star formation rates of six high-redshift ($2.8\leq z \leq 5.7$) dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) that are strongly gravitationally lensed by foreground galaxies. These sources were first discovered by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at millimeter wavelengths and all have spectroscopic redshifts and robust lens models derived from ALMA observations. We have conducted follow-up observations, obtaining multi-wavelength imaging data, using {\it HST}, {\it Spitzer}, {\it Herschel} and the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX). We use the high-resolution {\it HST}/WFC3 images to disentangle the background source from the foreground lens in {\it Spitzer}/IRAC data. The detections and upper limits provide important constraints on the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for these DSFGs, yielding stellar masses, IR luminosities, and star formation rates (SFRs). The SED fits of six SPT sources show that the intrinsic stellar masses span a range more than one order of magnitude with a median value $\sim$ 5 $\times 10^{10}M_{\Sun}$. The intrinsic IR luminosities range from 4$\times 10^{12}L_{\Sun}$ to 4$\times 10^{13}L_{\Sun}$. They all have prodigious intrinsic star formation rates of 510 to 4800 $M_{\Sun} {\rm yr}^{-1}$. Compared to the star-forming main sequence (MS), these six DSFGs have specific SFRs that all lie above the MS, including two galaxies that are a factor of 10 higher than the MS. Our results suggest that we are witnessing the ongoing strong starburst events which may be driven by major mergers.

Verheissungsvolle Berichte und suggestive Karten: Die englischen und niederländischen Nordostpassagen-Expeditionen des 16. Jahrhunderts zwischen Erfolg und Scheitern

Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur

description: From a modern perspective, the English and Dutch expeditions into the northern seas in the 16th century that set out to discover new shipping routes from Europe to Asia have thoroughly failed: Neither of them ever reached their goal. All the alluring expectations of exotic goods and spices that would be easily imported into England and the Netherlands – thus winning the competition in global commerce against Spain and Portugal – were shattered in the perennial ice of the Arctic Sea. Nevertheless these expeditions resulted in travel reports that tell stories of threatening ice, sea monsters, and barbaric peoples. The documents though, also assure the reader of a successful crossing of the Arctic in a near future, highlight the enormous achievement and endurance of the ships’ crews and emphasize the increase in knowledge due to the expeditions, mainly the mapping of northern coastlines. These aspects of historical ‘reality’, imaginations and wishful thinking are also juxtaposed in a couple of extraordinary maps accompanying the reports. This essay will analyse how the travel narratives and their visualization in the maps blur our neat distinction between failure and success and how especially maps became the piece of evidence for every single fragment of achievement.

Glück auf! Fortuna und Risiko im frühneuzeitlichen Bergbau
Creators: name: Asmussen, Tina
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2016

description: As mining became more popular as a form of investment in the 16th century, the number of representations of mining scenes depicting the goddess Fortuna increased. She became a popular emblem of the promises, risks, and uncertainties of mining. The discursive and iconographical traditions of chance in the context of mining are borrowed from the fortuna di mare. The popularity of the maritime Fortuna stood in a close context with the emergence of the term risk in the late Middle Ages, which is closely connected to the sea trade and the social group of merchants and sailors. In the context of mining this image of fragile stability seems to have captured the imagination of those who, like the goddess, had to make quick moves to keep on top in the new world of 16th-century business with mineral resources. In this article I show how the concepts of hope, risk and chance were mediated through the figure of Fortuna between the sea and the mountains. In current research, however, a modernist perspective often connects the emergence of risk with the processes of secularization and growing self-awareness of tradesmen and merchants. My investigation instead concentrates on discourses about successful and failed mining investments, both in textual and visual sources, in order to investigate the vast semantic field of risk, hope and chances. This analysis reveals that the notion of Fortune in mining was inextricably tied up with Christian discourses on moral values and hope.

description: Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of using a self-instructional-radiographic-anatomy (SIRA) module on Dental Hygiene (DH) faculty test performance when identifying normal radiographic anatomy. Methods: Pilot study with a repeated measures design. Exempt from Institutional-Review-Board review. DH clinical faculty (N=23) were invited to participate by completing an online: pre-test, SIRA module, immediate post-test, and a four-month follow-up post-test. Descriptive analyses, the Friedman’s ANOVA, and the Exact-Wilcoxon-Signed-Rank test were used. Results: Pre-test response rate was 73.9% (N=17); 88.2% (N=15) completed both post-tests. Participants included: 5 full-time faculty, 5 part-time faculty, and 5 graduate teaching assistants. The Friedman’s ANOVA indicated no significant difference in the percentage of correct responses between the tests. The Exact-Wilcoxon-Signed-Rank test indicated no statistical significance when comparing percent change between tests. Conclusion: The SIRA module did not significantly affect DH faculty test performance. Future research should include a larger sample size when evaluating the effectiveness of possible calibration methods.

description: In late medieval economy, failing was as much a social as an economic process. The story of the hanseatic merchant Hildebrand Veckinchusen (ca. 1365-1426) shows how his network of family members, friends, and business partners on the one hand enabled him to be successful as a merchant. On the other hand the same network deployed its social power against him once he had run into problems: As his potential new investors had to stem from the circle of his old partners, they all knew his fate, and they all informed each other about his shortcomings. So Hildebrand had to borrow the money he needed from outside his network from an external creditor. His friends would have been able to defer the return of his loans (as they knew how to keep track of him), whereas the external creditor could not and thus put him in prison as an insolvent debtor. His friends offered help only on the condition that Hildebrand did admit his faults and listened to their advice, but he refused. But Veckinchusen’s network demanded control of his decisions and affairs in which the social an economic sphere were intimately linked. Hildebrand didn’t perceive himself as failed, contrary to what his friends expected him to do. Thus he wasn’t allowed back into the network, which, to be successful, had to exclude failures such as Hildebrand Veckinchusen.

Giant In-Particle Field Concentration and Fano Resonances at Light Scattering by High-Refractive Index Particles

description: A detailed analytical inspection of light scattering by a particle with high refractive index m+iκand small dissipative constant κis presented. We have shown that there is a dramatic difference in the behavior of the electromagnetic field within the particle (inner problem) and the scattered field outside it (outer problem). With an increase in m at fix values of the other parameters, the field within the particle asymptotically converges to a periodic function of m. The electric and magnetic type Mie resonances of different orders overlap substantially. It may lead to a giant concentration of the electromagnetic energy within the particle. At the same time, we demonstrate that identical transformations of the solution for the outer problem allow to present each partial scattered wave as a sum of two partitions. One of them corresponds to the m-independent wave, scattered by a perfectly reflecting particle and plays the role of a background, while the other is associated with the excitation of a sharply-m-dependent resonant Mie mode. The interference of the partitions brings about a typical asymmetric Fano profile. The explicit expressions for the parameters of the Fano profile have been obtained "from the first principles" without any additional assumptions and/or fitting. In contrast to the inner problem, at an increase in m the resonant modes of the outer problem die out, and the scattered field converges to the universal, m-independent profile of the perfectly reflecting sphere. Numerical estimates of the discussed effects for a gallium phosphide particle are presented.

description: Inertial magnetization dynamics have been predicted at ultrahigh speeds, or frequencies approaching the energy relaxation scale of electrons, in ferromagnetic metals. Here we identify inertial terms to magnetization dynamics in thin Ni$_{79}$Fe$_{21}$ and Co films near room temperature. Effective magnetic fields measured in high-frequency ferromagnetic resonance (115-345 GHz) show an additional stiffening term which is quadratic in frequency and $\sim$ 80 mT at the high frequency limit of our experiment. Our results extend understanding of magnetization dynamics at sub-picosecond time scales.

Grand Opera as racial uplift: the National Negro Opera Company 1941-1962
Creators: name: Wells, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: For twenty years, the National Negro Opera Company and its founder/director Mary Cardwell Dawson staged large-scale opera productions featuring African American performers. The company performed works by Verdi, Gounod, and African American composers R. Nathaniel Dett and Clarence Cameron White before sold-out crowds in venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Opera House. Though they sought to match the splendor and spectacle of the Metropolitan Opera Company, they never enjoyed the government and aristocratic patronage normally required to stage grand opera. Based on original archival research at the Library of Congress, this thesis documents the company's history, focusing on the interaction between its artistic mission and strategies for raising funds. The thesis also draws parallels between the company's work and the economic life of black churches, the emergence of a black middle class, and the philosophies of racial uplift articulated by W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.

description: The baryon Dirac form factor is computed at one-loop order in large-N_c baryon chiral perturbation theory, where N_c is the number of color charges. Loop graphs with octet and decuplet intermediate states are systematically incorporated into the analysis and the effects of the decuplet-octet mass difference are accounted for. There are large-N_c cancellations between different one-loop graphs as a consequence of the large-N_c spin-flavor symmetry of QCD baryons. As a byproduct, the mean-square charge radius is also computed through a detailed numerical analysis. The predictions of large-N_c baryon chiral perturbation theory are in very good agreement both with the expectations from the 1/N_c expansion and with the experimental data.

This is the higher analogue of the result that a QP-structure of degree 2 gives rise to a Courant algebroid. A CLWX 2-algebroid can also be viewed as a categorified Courant algebroid. We show that one can obtain a Lie 3-algebra from a CLWX 2-algebroid. Furthermore, CLWX 2-algebroids are constructed from split Lie 2-algebroids and split Lie 2-bialgebroids.

Within a context of the entanglement of affect and new technologies, it might be questioned if affect and control can be positioned as oppositions, i.e. capturing affect in terms of predictability and calculability, or if, conversely, contemporary networks undo themselves towards affective relatedness.

description: Digital signal processing techniques were employed to investigate the joint use of charge division and risetime analyses for the resistive anode (RA) coupled to a microchannel plate detector (MCP). In contrast to the typical approach of using the relative charge at each corner of the RA, this joint approach results in a significantly improved position resolution. A conventional charge division analysis utilizing analog signal processing provides a position measured resolution of 170 $μ$m (FWHM). By using the correlation between risetime and position we were able to obtain a measured resolution of 92 $μ$m (FWHM), corresponding to an intrinsic resolution of 64 $μ$m (FMHM) for a single Z-stack MCP detector.

The Honest Enthusiasm of Religious Opinion: Christian Republicanism and America's Quasi-War with France
Creators: name: Sawyer, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: America was embroiled in an unlikely quasi-war in the summer of 1798. French and American naval forces clashed in the Caribbean waters off the coast of the United States, all as a result of a break down in diplomacy between the French Directory and John Adams' Federalist administration. Despite this rapid decline in Franco-American political relations, most of the American public remained supportive of the French cause. The goal of this thesis is to determine how this antithetical relationship between political happening and public will resulted in military engagement. I argue that the Federalists used religious suasion in the form of Christian Republicanism and civic piety to persuade the American people that military defense and engagement was the best course of action.

description: The aim of this paper is to introduce a method for computing the allocated Solvency II Capital Requirement (SCR) of each Risk which the company is exposed to, taking in account for the diversification effect among different risks. The method suggested is based on the Euler principle. We show that it has very suitable properties like coherence in the sense of Denault (2001) and RORAC compatibility, and practical implications for the companies that use the standard formula. Further, we show how this approach can be used to evaluate the underwriting and reinsurance policies and to define a measure of the Company's risk appetite, based on the capital at risk return.

description: The formation of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) on metal oxide surfaces have attracted considerable interest due to their diverse applications. In this work, we have performed densi-ty-functional theory calculations to investigate the co-adsorption of oxygen and water on ul-trathin MgO(100) films deposited on Mo(100) substrate. We reveal that the molecular oxygen can be stepwise decomposed completely with the assistance of water. Consequently, a series of highly ROS including superoxide, hydroperoxide, hydroxyl and single oxygen adatom are formed on Mo(100) supported MgO(100) thinfilms. The reaction barriers accompanied by the generation of ROS are reported, and the influence of the thickness of MgO(100) films is also discussed. The most promising routes to produce these fascinating species provide valuable information to understand the importance of synergistic effect, namely the substrate, the co-adorbed species, and the film thickness, in multiphase catalyst design.
The image of women in graphic and narrative representations

description: Spain in the early twentieth century was a country in constant transformation. The Segunda República Española and the Civil War brought social as well as political changes. As the Republicans and Nationalists fought for control, women, and Spanish society as a whole, fought to establish woman's identity in modern Spain. Images of women in Civil War propaganda posters and in novels reveal the complexities inherent in both Republican and Nationalist attitudes toward women. While Republicans sought to liberate women, Republican propaganda posters and literature demonstrate a tendency to relegate women to tradition roles. The Nationalists, on the other hand , endeavored to maintain women as submissive housewives. Nonetheless, Nationalist propaganda posters and literature often contradict this ideal with images of strong women. These contradictions expose the unstable attitudes toward women on both sides of the Civil War and the difficulties of establishing identity, especially for women, in the modern era.

description: Mauern 2.0 (2013) by Jana König, Elisabeth Steffen, and Inga Turczyn, is an updating and revisitation of the film Duvarlar/Mauern/Walls by Can Candan (2011), or in the words of its authors: a conflicted copy. In 1991, after the fall of the Wall, Candan conducted interviews among the Turkish community in Berlin, giving voice to some of those who had been silenced by Germany’s new nationalism and accounting for their experiences with the tremendous increase in racist violence. Ten years later, shortly before the series of NSU murders was uncovered, König/Steffen/Turczyn took up where Duvarlar left off, interviewing some of Candan’s protagonists again and also including the perspectives of migrants from East Berlin and antiracist activists. Mauern 2.0 investigates the conjunctures of racism, the contemporaneity of the past, and the eerie presence of a future.

description: We study the regularity of the distance function to the boundary of a domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$, with respect to some asymmetric norms. We allow the boundary of the domain to have corners. We obtain an explicit formula for the second derivative of these distance functions. Furthermore, we study a generalized notion of the ridge of a domain, which is the set of singularities of a distance function to the boundary of the domain. We completely characterize the ridge by using a generalized notion of curvature.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the pyrolysis products of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRC), and block co-polymers (PS-b-P2VP and PS-b?P4VP). The studied PHA samples were produced at temperatures of 15 and 50 o C (PHA15 and PHA50), and commercially obtained from GlasPort Bio (PHAc). Initially, PHA samples were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine the molecular weight, and structure of the polymers. Thermal techniques such as thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calo?rimetry (DSC) analyses were performed for PHA, CFRC, and block co-polymers to investigate the degradation temperature range and thermal stability of samples. Fast pyrolysis (500 o C, ~102 ◦C s − 1) experiments were conducted for all samples in a wire mesh reactor to investigate tar products and char yields. The tar compositions were investigated by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and statistical modeling was performed. The char yields of block co-polymers and PHA samples (<2 wt. %) were unequivocally less than that of the PET sample (~10.7 wt. %). All PHA compounds contained a large fraction of ethyl cyclopropane carboxylate (~ 38–58 %), whereas PAH15 and PHA50 additionally showed a large quantity of 2-butenoic acid (~8–12 %). The PHAc sample indicated the presence of considerably high amount of methyl ester (~15 %), butyl citrate (~12.9 %), and tributyl ester (~17 %). The compositional analyses of the liquid fraction of the PET and block co-polymers have shown carcinogenic and toxic properties. Pyrolysis removed matrices in the CRFC composites which is an indication of potential recovery of the original fibers.
Die AG Postkolonial in Leipzig – Ein Bericht

description: The paper gives an insight into the multifaceted work and the sometimes striking experiences of the action group Postcolonial Leipzig, who explores and brings to light the past of German colonialism as it can be traced throughout the city. It also explains the problems and challenges the group is continuously confronted with, e.g. when cooperating with town officials. Making the colonial past visible, is the precondition for serious political and cultural debate, not its substitute.

"I like America and America likes me": Joseph Beuys’ Selbstinszenierung als Schamane und Indianer im Kontext deutscher Erinnerungskultur

description: In 1974 Joseph Beuys staged his performance I like America and America likes me at the newly-opened René Block Gallery in New York. For three days he stayed in a small room together with a coyote. The performance has become widely known since then and particularly in recent years a film documentation has been shown in quite a number of exhibitions in Germany. My paper focuses both on the images of cultural difference that Beuys’ action provides and on the colonial fantasies that are produced or referred to through its reception within the art historical discourse. I will analyse how these images and fantasies are interwined with myths of the artist as sufferer and healer, and explore their specific function within German commemorative culture. In using Sigmund Freud’s concept of Deckerinnerung (screen-memory), I will argue that the images and fantasies of the Other which the performance produces and invokes, provide an opportunity for the German audience to deny and replace the problematic recent past – here: the history of National Socialism and of the Shoah – and to imagine themselves as victims.

description: Model Predictive Control (MPC) can efficiently control constrained systems in real-time applications. MPC feedback law for a linear system with linear inequality constraints can be explicitly computed off-line, which results in an off-line partition of the state space into non-overlapped convex regions, with affine control laws associated to each region of the partition. An actual implementation of this explicit MPC in low cost micro-controllers requires the data to be "quantized", i.e. represented with a small number of memory bits. An aggressive quantization decreases the number of bits and the controller manufacturing costs, and may increase the speed of the controller, but reduces accuracy of the control input computation. We derive upper bounds for the absolute error in the control depending on the number of quantization bits and system parameters. The bounds can be used to determine how many quantization bits are needed in order to guarantee a specific level of accuracy in the control input.

Afrikanismen als Deckerinnerungen. Zur Verwobenheit der postnationalsozialistischen und postkolonialen Erinnerung in bundesdeutschen Filmen der 1950er Jahre

description: The following essay takes as its starting point the observation that colonial/racist imagery, sounds, figures and metaphors can be found in many 1950s West-German films. Referring to the Freudian notion of screen memories, which can be understood as memories of a past that were never present, the essay asks how these filmic actualizations of africanist tropes established a vision of an unburdened past. By looking at three films the essay shows that actualizations of africanist – racist – imagery are key; not only for the transcription of the Nazi as well as the colonial past, but also for establishing a memory that allows for the construction of a self-image as re-covered and therefore no longer racist.

Postkoloniale Selbstbilder in der postnationalsozialistischen Gesellschaft

Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2016

description: This article suggests a double perspective on postcolonial and post-NS images of the self and the other. Racism as well as anti-Semitism will be analyzed with regard to their connection to colonialism and National Socialism respectively. The historical analysis points out the differences between these two forms of discrimination and looks more closely at their present-day manifestations by reflecting the practices of othering. Asking for a concept of postcolonial memory after the Holocaust, presumptions for a critical approach in education related to a history of crimes are developed. How can the commemoration of colonialism and National Socialism consider their discontinuities and crossovers without neglecting the specificities of each complex in regard to power and persecution?

description: Issue No 59 of FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur explores the specific postcolonial condition in Germany, particularly as it appears in the field of visual culture. Departing from the relationship as it is (implicitly) articulated in recent debates and practices between German colonial history and Germany’s nationalsocialist past, it outlines a research gap in current discourse. From today’s perspective, the editors argue, German colonialism must necessarily be considered and discussed as a postnationalsocialist condition. The histories of National Socialism and Second World War are inevitably inscribed into the memory of German colonialism. The issue, therefore, focuses on the question of how colonial history and the history of nationalsocialism are interwoven in the visual cultures of memory of both the two German states, FRG and GDR, after 1945/1949 and in re-united Germany after 1990. This implies to consider how after the Second World War images of gender and/or gendered imageries were employed to (consciously or unconsciously) remember and not remember, to make visible and invisibilise German colonial history.

Acceleration of charged particles due to chaotic scattering in the combined black hole gravitational field and asymptotically uniform magnetic field

description: To test the role of large-scale magnetic fields in accretion processes, we study dynamics of charged test particles in vicinity of a black hole immersed into an asymptotically uniform magnetic field. Using the Hamiltonian formalism of charged particle dynamics, we examine chaotic scattering in the effective potential related to the black hole gravitational field combined with the uniform magnetic field. Energy interchange between the translational and oscillatory modes od the charged particle dynamics provides mechanism for charged particle acceleration along the magnetic field lines. This energy transmutation is an attribute of the chaotic charged particle dynamics in the combined gravitational and magnetic fields only, the black hole rotation is not necessary for such charged particle acceleration. The chaotic scatter can cause transition to the motion along the magnetic field lines with small radius of the Larmor motion or vanishing Larmor radius, when the speed of the particle translational motion is largest and can be ultra-relativistic. We discuss consequences of the model of ionization of test particles forming a neutral accretion disc, or heavy ions following off-equatorial circular orbits, and we explore the fate of heavy charged test particles after ionization where no kick of heavy ions is assumed and only switch-on effect of the magnetic field is relevant. We demonstrate that acceleration and escape of the ionized particles can be efficient along the Kerr black hole symmetry axis parallel to the magnetic field lines. We show that strong acceleration of ionized particles to ultra-relativistic velocities is preferred in the direction close to the magnetic field lines. Therefore, the process of ionization of Keplerian discs around Kerr black holes can serve as a model of relativistic jets.

Assessment of the Apparent Contact Dimension and Co-Variates in Untreated and Orthodontically Treated Dentitions
Creators: name: Raj, Vishnu
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This study assessed the existence of the Apparent Contact Dimension, a determinant of dental esthetics, using casts of orthodontically treated (n=40) and non-treated (n=27) subjects deemed to possess excellent occlusion. Co-variates studied included tooth size, tooth shape, tip and torque. The average ACD proportions in this study, relative to the height of an ipsilateral central incisor, were found to be 49, 38 and 27 % between the central incisors, central and lateral incisor, and the lateral incisor and canine, respectively. The ACD exhibited a positive correlation (p<0.05) with the height of the clinical crown and a negative correlation (p<0.05) with W/H ratios of the corresponding teeth. No statistically significant correlations were evident between the ACD with the shape of the clinical crown, the tip, and torque. This study is the first to validate the existence and proportions of the ACD.

description: Mauritsen, A. L. (2021, March 16). Irreligiosity and cultural religion in Denmark. Retrieved from osf.io/237dy This study investigates irreligion and cultural religion in a Danish context. Research on irreligiosity (non-religion, secular studies, atheism etc.) is rapidly growing. “The Scandinavian Paradox”, which denotes the fact that Scandinavians remain members of their national churches, but often self-identify as irreligious, still puzzles researchers. This project seeks to contribute to this knowledge gap by the use of a survey study.
