description: We construct the non-relativistic counterparts of some well-known supergravity solutions dual to relevant and marginal deformations of N=4 super Yang-Mills. The main tool we use is the null Melvin twist and we apply it to the N=1 and N=2* Pilch-Warner RG flow solutions as well as the Lunin-Maldacena solution dual to beta-deformations of N=4 super Yang-Mills. We also obtain a family of supergravity solutions with Schrodinger symmetry interpolating between the non-relativistic version of the N=1 Pilch-Warner and Klebanov-Witten fixed points. A generic feature of these non-relativistic backgrounds is the presence of non-vanishing internal fluxes. We also find the most general, three-parameter, null Melvin twist of the AdS_5xS^5 black hole. We briefly comment on the field theories dual to these supergravity solutions.

description: We present results of an analysis of the J, H, and K$_s$ 2MASS images of 139 spiral edge-on galaxies selected from the Revised Flat Galaxies Catalog. The basic structural parameters scalelength (h), scaleheight (z_0), and central surface brightness of the stellar disks (mu_0) are determined for all selected galaxies in the NIR bands. The mean relative ratios of the scaleheights of the thin stellar disks in the J:H:K$_s$ bands are 1.16:1.08:1.00, respectively. Comparing the scaleheights obtained from the NIR bands for the same objects, we estimate the scaleheights of the thin stellar disks corrected for the internal extinction. We find that the extinction-corrected scaleheight is, on average, 11% smaller than that in the K-band. Using the extinction-corrected structural parameters, we find that the dark-to-luminous mass ratio is, on average, 1.3 for the galaxies in our sample within the framework of a simplified galactic model. The relative thicknesses of the stellar disks z_0/h correlates with their face-on central surface brightnesses obtained from the 2MASS images. We also find that the scaleheight of the stellar disks shows no systematic growth with radius in most of our galaxies.

description: Die Grundrechte haben die Aufgaben, dem Staat Grenzen zu setzen, wenn er in die Rechte Privater eingreift. Sie verpflichten daher nur Hoheitsträger, nicht aber Private untereinander. Dieser Grundsatz galt seit über 60 Jahren. Nun hat das Bundesverfassungsgericht in einem Beschluss aus dem Jahr 2018 diese Grundfeste der Grundrechtstheorie infrage gestellt, indem ein Stadionverbot, das private Betreiber von Fußballstadien ausgesprochen hatten, direkt anhand der Grundrechte gemessen wurde. Damit reagiert das Gericht auf die zunehmende Privatisierung und den Umstand, dass wichtige Teile unseres Soziallebens inzwischen in Sphären (wie sozialen Netzwerken oder eben Fußballstadien) stattfinden, die sich direktem staatlichen Einfluss entziehen. Trotzdem hat die Entscheidung das Potential, das ausgewogene Verhältnis zwischen Staatsgewalt und Privaten aus den Angeln zu heben. Der Autor analysiert im folgenden Beitrag die Entscheidung und ihre praktischen Konsequenzen.

description: Louisiana – mit diesem Wort verbinden viele zunächst einmal die Stadt New Orleans, den Jazz und den Karneval mit seinem Höhepunkt am Mardi Gras, d. h. dem Dienstag vor Aschermittwoch, die kreolische Küche oder auch die Plantagenhäuser entlang des Mississippi. Weniger bekannt ist demgegenüber das Cajun Country, also jenes Gebiet westlich des Mississippi, das zunächst überwiegend von den im 18. Jahrhundert aus der heutigen ostkanadischen Provinz Neuschottland vertriebenen Akadiern besiedelt wurde. Von Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts bis heute ist Louisiana immer eine multikulturelle und polyglotte Region gewesen, da sie von frankophonen Siedlern aus verschiedenen Regionen in Kanada und Frankreich, afrikanischen Sklaven, spanischen Siedlern, Flüchtlingen aus Saint-Domingue, englischsprachigen Neuankömmlingen und, seit geraumer Zeit, Migranten aus Mittelamerika und Asien besiedelt wurde. Diese Bevölkerungsvielfalt hat sich lange im Sprachenspektrum widergespiegelt: Neben Englisch als dominierende Sprache wurde bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert auch noch Französisch und Kreolisch gesprochen, allerdings hat die Sprecherzahl dieser beiden Sprachen in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts rapide abgenommen. Daran werden auch die seit einigen Jahren zu beobachtenden Revitalisierungsbemühungen nichts ändern, was aber nicht ausschließt, dass das französische Erbe trotz allem auf einer symbolischen Ebene bewahrt werden wird.

description: The generation of an early kination dominated era within a tracking quintessential model is investigated, the relic density of the Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) is calculated and we show that it can be enhanced with respect to its value in the standard cosmology. By adjusting the parameters of the quintessential scenario, the cold dark matter abundance in the universe can become compatible with large values for the annihilation cross section times the velocity of the WIMPs. Using these values and assuming that the WIMPs annihilate predominantly to $μ^+μ^-$, we calculate the induced fluxes of $e^\pm$ cosmic rays and fit the current PAMELA and Fermi-LAT data. We achieve rather good fits in conjunction with a marginal fulfillment of the restriction arisen from the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Phenethylisoquinoline - derived alkaloids and related systems
Creators: name: Paano, AMC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The phenethylisoquinoline alkaloids comprise a relatively new class of alkaloids. They are structurally related to the very vast group of alkaloids based on the 1-benzylisoquinoline skeleton. Most of these alkaloids follow a biosynthetic pathway analogous to the benzylisoquinoline series. That is, they are biosynthesized from the 1-phenethylisoquinoline autumnaline (Table 1, A-1) and its relatives by phenolic oxidative coupling and subsequent reactions. At present, nine groups of alkaloids are identified as of the phenethylisoquinoline type (Scheme 1). This includes the simple 1-phenethylisoquinoline (1), homomorphinane (2), colchicine (3), homoproaporphine (4), homoaporphine (5), bisphenethylisoquinoline (6), dibenz[d,fJazecine (7), homoerythrina (8), and cephalotaxine (9) groups. The bold lines in Scheme 1 represent biosynthetic pathways indicated by tracer studies. No tracer studies have been done on those shown with dotted lines. One can see in the Scheme that, biosynthetically, homoerythrina and cephalotaxinemay be related by a common precursor, the dibenz[d,fJazecine-type alkaloid (7). Colchicine on the other hand is derived biosynthetically from a homomorphinane (2), specifically Q-methylandrocymbine (Table 1, C-2). The homoprotoberberine-type alkaloid skeleton (10), which may also be biosynthetically derived from a 1-phenethylisoquinoline precursor by a Mannich-type reaction, and which was anticipated by Battersby to occur in plants, has not yet been isolated. However, a homoprotoberberine (11) was isolated from Berberis acticantha but differs from (10) in the ring C structure. That is, nitrogen and ring D are joined together by an ethylene group in (11) instead of a methylene group as in (10), the latter being characteristic of a Mannich-type ring closure. A complete list of the phenethyli soquinoline-derived alkaloids from plants, their sources, and their physical properties is given in Table 1 and summarised in Table 2. All the isolated alkaloids presented in Kamentani's review are included in Table 1 to provide a better view of the alkaloid profile.

Auf diese Frage gibt Alexis de Tocqueville, französischer Adeliger und feinfühliger Beobachter der europäischen und amerikanischen Gesellschaft in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, verblüffende Antworten. Sie zeigen, wie Individualismus und politische Lethargie die Versprechen der Demokratie auf Freiheit und Gleichheit unterlaufen und die Demokratie an sich selbst kranken lassen. Tocqueville bietet düstere Aussichten, die angesichts der Populismen heutiger Demokratien aktueller wirken denn je. Offensichtlich hat er schon damals tief ins Herz des demokratischen Menschen geschaut und darin Antworten auf unsere Fragen gefunden.

description: Nach Jan und Aleida Assmanns Konzept vom Kulturellen Gedächtnis nimmt der Kanon von autorisierten Überlieferungen einen zentralen Stellenwert in der Identitätskonstruktion von Gemeinschaften ein: Traditionen werden in einer komplexen Dynamik dann als bindend festgelegt, wenn sie für die Selbstvergewisserung zu einem Bezugsort geworden sind. Das Gedächtnis dieser Traditionen hat Gegenwartsrelevanz, insofern es die Identität der Gemeinschaft mitbestimmt. Im Kontext von Religionen etablieren sich so heilige Schriften, die als Offenbarung verstanden werden; im Christentum bildet die Bibel aus Altem und Neuem Testament den Kanon. Zugleich entstehen aber apokryphe (wörtlich: »verborgene«) Traditionen, die die kanonische Überlieferung fortschreiben und Lücken füllen; sie können mitunter in der gelebten Praxis eine hohe Bedeutung einnehmen, da sie Deutungsangebote stellen, die im Kanon nicht auf dem Radar waren.

description: The flowering behaviour of plants which respond both to vernalisation and photoperiod has been described by many writers, although long-day plants have been used more extensively than short-day plants. From his studies on winter and summer rye, Gregory (1948) postulates a linear sequence of processes leading to flower initiation. In winter rye, which has a quantitative low-temperature requirement, the operation of these processes is largely dependent on a precursor synthesised as a consequence of low-temperature treatment. In spring rye the precursor is already present in the germinating seed, Lang and,Melchers (1947), using a biennial variety of Hyoscyamus niger, postulate that a qualitative low-temperature requirement must be satisfied before photoperiodic reactions can occur. However, vernalisation may replace exposure to long-day photoperiod in accelerating flowering in a limited number of plants, Owen et: al, ( 1940) found that some individuals of one biennial beet variety were so strongly influenced by low temperatures that they developed seed stalks in non-inductive short days. Aitken (1955) found that an early variety of subterranean clover can initiate flowers at a low node as a result of either sufficient vernalisation without long days, or exposure to a sufficiently high-photoperiod without prior low-temperature treatment. In the present work a similar equivalence of vernalisation and long days in causing acceleration of flower initiation in several late pea varieties is reported. This equivalence is not expected on the theories of flowering postulated by Gregory (1948) and Melchers ( 1952), and possible reasons for this apparent disagreement are discussed in Part II of this thesis.

description: One of the primary objectives in modern astronomy is to discover and study planets with characteristics similar to Earth. This pursuit involves analyzing the spectra of exoplanets and searching for biosignatures. Contamination of spectra by nearby objects (e.g., other planets and moons in the same system) is a significant concern and must be addressed for future exo-Earth searching missions. The aim is to estimate, for habitable planets, the probability of spectral contamination by other planets within the same star system. This investigation focuses on the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets (LIFE). Since the Rayleigh criterion is inapplicable to interferometers such as those proposed for LIFE, we present new criteria based on the principle of parsimony, which take into account two types of issues: contamination or blending of point sources, and cancellation of point sources due to destructive interference. We define a new spatial resolution metric associated with contamination or cancellation that generalizes to a broader family of observing instruments. In the current baseline design, LIFE is an X-array architecture nulling interferometer. Our investigation reveals that its transmission map introduces the potential for two point sources to appear as one, even if they do not appear in close proximity. We find that LIFE has a spatial resolution comparable to that of a traditional telescope with a diameter of $D = 600\,\text{m}$, observing at $λ= 4 \,μ\text{m}$. Our survey of a star system population shows that, out of 73.4 expected habitable planets detected, 71.3 are not contaminated on average.

description: The paper in examining true federalism and nation building in Niger Delta argues that the Niger Delta region has been very backward due to the unattended responsibility of the Nigerian State. The federal government has vowed not to yield to the pressure of resource control. The government of the state is dependent on the exploitation and expropriation of the resources of the “powerless” minorities of the region in what may be termed as domestic imperialism. The effects of these are environmental degradation, pollution, lack of infrastructure, unemployment, militarization of the region, loss of lives and property among others. The study established that these factors are responsible for the various agitations witnessed in the region over the years. Among the recommendations, the paper proffers that for the country to experience lasting peace, there must be true federalism where the control of the resources be carried out by the indigenes of the region. There should also be total infrastructural and human capital development where all the youths will be gainfully employed for genuine peace to return to the Niger Delta
From development to sustainable development in the Cook Islands
Creators: name: Patterson, RMC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis contributes to the academic understanding of the role of technology transfer in underpinning sustainable development in developing countries. This contribution has two main components. First, the thesis offers a multidisciplinary review of academic literatures in developing a model of technology transfer from developed to developing countries that achieve sustainable development outcomes. Second, the thesis offers a detailed case study of an on-site wastewater management technology in the Cook Islands. The innovative on-site sewage treatment technology used in this project has been developed by the author over the past twenty years. The project took the form of a 'demonstration' Evapocycle system was installed at the recently completed education centre built by the non-government organisation Youth With a Mission on the island of Rarotonga. The problems of wastewater treatment in the Cook Islands, which are exacerbated by tourist development, are described. It is argued that the Evapocycle system could reduce problems associated with 'conventional' septic tank systems in use on Rarotonga, thus leading to a more sustainable development. The technology transfer model developed by Kedia and Bagat is reviewed and is applied to the chosen example. The thesis concludes that problems experienced in introducing the on-site treatment system to the Cook Islands can be explained by the model.

description: Reproducing realistic collective behaviors presents a captivating yet formidable challenge. Traditional rule-based methods rely on hand-crafted principles, limiting motion diversity and realism in generated collective behaviors. Recent imitation learning methods learn from data but often require ground truth motion trajectories and struggle with authenticity, especially in high-density groups with erratic movements. In this paper, we present a scalable approach, Collective Behavior Imitation Learning (CBIL), for learning fish schooling behavior directly from videos, without relying on captured motion trajectories. Our method first leverages Video Representation Learning, where a Masked Video AutoEncoder (MVAE) extracts implicit states from video inputs in a self-supervised manner. The MVAE effectively maps 2D observations to implicit states that are compact and expressive for following the imitation learning stage. Then, we propose a novel adversarial imitation learning method to effectively capture complex movements of the schools of fish, allowing for efficient imitation of the distribution for motion patterns measured in the latent space. It also incorporates bio-inspired rewards alongside priors to regularize and stabilize training. Once trained, CBIL can be used for various animation tasks with the learned collective motion priors. We further show its effectiveness across different species. Finally, we demonstrate the application of our system in detecting abnormal fish behavior from in-the-wild videos.

description: Background: Autologous breast reconstruction is a reliable solution for many patients after mastectomy. While this technique represents a standardized approach in many patients, patients with ptotic breasts may require a combination of procedures to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result. Methods: We reviewed the mastectomy and free-flap breast reconstruction procedures performed at our institution from 2018 to 2022 in patients with ptotic breasts. The technique used to address the ptosis was put in focus as we present the four strategies used by our reconstructive surgeons. We performed two different one-stage and two different two-stage procedures. The difference between the two-stage procedures was the way the nipple areola complex was treated (inferior dermal pedicle or free skin graft). The difference between the one-stage procedures was the time of execution of the mastopexy/breast reduction (before or after the mastectomy and autologous breast reconstruction). Results: The one-stage procedure was performed with a free NAC in three patients and with a pedicled NAC in five patients. The two-stage procedure was performed in seven patients, with six of them undergoing mastopexy before and one patient undergoing mastopexy after the bilateral mastectomy and autologous reconstruction. No flap loss or total loss of the nipple areola complex occurred. Partial NAC loss was observed in five breasts in the single-stage group without any occurrence in the double-stage group. Conclusions: While both one- and two-stage procedures were performed in a safe fashion with satisfactory results at our institution, larger trials are required to determine which procedure may yield the best possible outcomes. These outcomes should also include oncological safety and patient-reported outcomes.

description: We continue our earlier studies of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the power spectra of accreting, rapidly-rotating black holes that originate from the geometric "light echoes" of X-ray flares occurring within the black hole ergosphere. Our present work extends our previous treatment to three-dimensional photon emission and orbits to allow for arbitrary latitudes in the positions of the distant observers and the X-ray sources in place of the mainly equatorial positions and photon orbits of the earlier consideration. Following the trajectories of a large number of photons we calculate the response functions of a given geometry and use them to produce model light curves which we subsequently analyze to compute their power spectra and autocorrelation functions. In the case of an optically-thin environment, relevant to advection-dominated accretion flows, we consistently find QPOs at frequencies of order of ~kHz for stellar-mass black hole candidates while order of ~mHz for typical active galactic nuclei (~10^7 Msun) for a wide range of viewing angles (30 to 80deg) from X-ray sources predominantly concentrated toward the equator within the ergosphere. As in our previous treatment, here too, the QPO signal is produced by the frame-dragging of the photons by the rapidly-rotating black hole, which results in photon "bunches" separated by constant time-lags, the result of multiple photon orbits around the hole. Our model predicts for various source/observer configurations the robust presence of a new class of QPOs, which is inevitably generic to curved spacetime structure in rotating black hole systems.

description: We report the observation of the quantized Hall effect in suspended graphene probed with a two-terminal lead geometry. The failure of earlier Hall-bar measurements is discussed and attributed to the placement of voltage probes in mesoscopic samples. New quantized states are found at integer Landau level fillings outside the sequence 2,6,10.., as well as at a fractional filling ν=1/3. Their presence is revealed by plateaus in the two-terminal conductance which appear in magnetic fields as low as 2 Tesla at low temperatures and persist up to 20 Kelvin in 12 Tesla. The excitation gaps, extracted from the data with the help of a theoretical model, are found to be significantly larger than in GaAs based electron systems.

New creatures made known : (re)discovering the extinct King Island emu
Creators: name: Pfennigwerth, SC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Nicolas Baudin's 1801-1804 voyage of discovery to the southern lands was the only scientific expedition to collect specimens of the dwarf emu Dromaius ater, endemic to King Island, Bass Strait, Australia. The expedition's naturalist, Francois Peron, documented the only detailed description of the life history of the birds (translated here in full for the first time), and the artist Charles-Alexandre Lesueur made the only visual record of a living bird. But the King Island emu's textual, taxonomic and even taxidermic representations were confused with other species and some of their remains, scattered across Europe, are elusive. A bird collected as part of one of the most ambitious ordering enterprises in early nineteenth-century science has been more or less forgotten. This thesis recovers the natural and unnatural history of the King Island emu, a species extinct in the wild since 1805. Placing the birds at the centre of the narrative, it traces their first encounters with Europeans to their last (and lasting) confinement in the menagerie and Museum. This innovative approach is in keeping with Animal Studies, an interdisciplinary field committed to examining the relationships between human and non-human species. In recounting the birds' story, the thesis discusses the general pattern of contemporaneous scientific collecting and some of the paradoxes of the nature and history of natural history: the link between discovery and demise. Analysing a wide variety of textual records, it demonstrates how competing principles of organisation in Republican natural science, and scientific expeditions, influenced attitudes toward and understandings of the King Island emu, with material consequences for their conservation. The thesis also reveals how visual representations further contributed, albeit unwittingly, to the species' epistemological and literal extinction. While such evidence does much to expose human attitudes to animals, it also shows the ways in which animal \specimens\" far from being inert objects of subsidiary influence actually played a major role in human endeavours. Proof of the emus' life experiences written on and in their physical remains likewise provides insight into animal realities only hinted at in the human documents. The thesis thus uncovers a rich seam of alternative experience and interpretation of human and animal heritage while suggesting a rethinking of our taken-for-granted place in the hierarchy of nature."
Stochastic heating of cooling flows

description: It is generally accepted that the heating of gas in clusters of galaxies by active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a form of feedback. Feedback is required to ensure a long term, sustainable balance between heating and cooling. This work investigates the impact of proportional stochastic feedback on the energy balance in the intracluster medium. Using a generalised analytical model for a cluster atmosphere, it is shown that an energy equilibrium can be reached exponentially quickly. Applying the tools of stochastic calculus it is demonstrated that the result is robust with regard to the model parameters, even though they affect the amount of variability in the system.

Polymorphic Jesus, Polymorphic Texts

Publisher: name: Blick in die Wissenschaft

description: In the apocryphal Acts of John, Jesus is »polymorphic«: he is a »shapeshifter,« who appears to his disciples in different physical forms at different times. This protean Jesus is likely unfamiliar to readers of the canonical New Testament – and yet the idea makes good sense as one possible way to reckon with the theological proposition that Jesus was simultaneously God and human. What kind of body did God-made-flesh have? Early Christians wrestled with this question. The answer presented in the apocryphal Acts of John is that Jesus possessed a constantly changing body with infinite possibility. This is just one example of how theological ideas – both compatible with and contrary to what is found in canonical texts – were developed in non-canonical Christian literature.

Legitimate voices : teen mothers and education
Creators: name: Pittaway, SM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The dominant discourses and stereotypical images surrounding the teenage mother cast her, overwhelmingly, in a negative light. She is a social, and (although to a lesser extent in contemporary society) a moral problem. The \wrong-girl\" discourse is a powerful one and shapes the dominant view of the teenage mother as having made bad (and wrong) choices. It seeks to shame and blame the young mother for her \"predicament\". It is also within this discursive framework that stereotypes abound: teenage mother as high school drop out; as irresponsible; as \"stupid slut\". Psychological traits are attributed to the teenage mother which often cast her into an infantilised role unable to make her own (responsible) decisions. According to this view of the teenage mother solutions need to be found to remedy her mistake. Some see the solution as the removal of all welfare benefits in an effort to make teenage parenting less attractive while others call for a re-stigmatisation of teenage mothers. In terms of education there are those who believe that teenage mothers must continue to follow the \"normal\" life trajectory through adolescence which means completing secondary education at the same time as her non-parenting peers and then find employment in order to best provide for her family. Many barriers stand in the way for young mothers re-entering the adolescent world of secondary education especially when school environments aren't supportive of the teenage mother. Despite this and despite the negative view of teenage mothers this narrative life history study sought to give voice through the telling of their stories to seven Tasmanian women who had given birth as teenagers and who had subverted the stereotype of \"high school drop out\" by re-engaging with education. This study complements earlier investigations by legitimising the voices of a select sample of young mothers in an effort to examine their view of the realities of their lives within the context of negative societal views a mutual obligation welfare framework and largely unsupportive school environments. There are implications of this study for educators and educational policy makers in Tasmania the state with the second highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Australia."
Der Fußabdruck Jesu

description: Vor gut fünfzig Jahren entstand der wohl berühmteste Fußabdruck. Neil Armstrong hat ihn auf dem Mond hinterlassen und die pathetischen Worte hinzugefügt: »Ein kleiner Schritt für einen Menschen, ein riesiger Sprung für die Menschheit.« Weniger bekannt ist die subtile Kritik, die der zweite Mann auf dem Mond, der bekennende Freimaurer Buzz Aldrin, an diesen Worten angebracht hat. In seiner Autobiographie zitiert er den Begründer der Tiefenpsychologie Carl Gustav Jung: »Raumflüge sind lediglich ein Entrinnen, eine Flucht vor sich selbst; es ist ja so viel leichter, den Mars oder den Mond zu erreichen, als das eigene Wesen zu erkennen. « Auch wenn Aldrin, dem man das Privileg des ersten Schrittes auf dem Mond verweigert hatte und der deshalb zeitlebens auf Armstrong neidisch war, die Bedeutung des Fußabdrucks relativiert, wird solchen Spuren immer wieder eine emblematische Bedeutung zugesprochen. Als Zeichen, das eine vergangene Anwesenheit bezeugt. Als Symbol für ein besonderes Ereignis. Oder aber als Erkennungszeichen für eine Person, für die Identität eines Individuums. Neugeborenen wird ein Fußabdruck genommen, um sie zu identifizieren. Gelegentlich kommt Fußspuren sogar eine religiöse Bedeutung zu.

description: Grafting of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) understocks with scions from Manihot glaziovii was proposed to improve the cassava root yield and as a temporal approach to overcoming the problem of cassava mosaic disease (CMD). This work compared performance of nongrafted KU50 with M. esculenta grafted as understock with M. glaziovii, KU50 or HB80 scions. KU50 and HB80 are released M. esculenta varieties. Work was conducted in the field using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replicates in two seasons (rainy and dry seasons) in Thailand. The M. glaziovii grafted plants were larger than nongrafted controls. Grafting also increased fresh root yield by 25% (dry season) and 37% (rainy season) and dry matter content by 19% (dry season) and 42% (rainy season) over the nongrafted controls. Net photosynthesis (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs) and growth parameters indicated that the grafted plants had a higher photosynthetic capacity and more vigorous growth than nongrafted controls during the dry season. Correlation coefficients of Pn and gs with growth and productivity parameters at different ages of the plant were highly significant during the dry season but not in the rainy season. This study demonstrated that M. glaziovii–cassava grafting improved cassava growth and root yield.
Jenseits des Kanons

description: Beyond Canon_ ist das erste Centre for Advanced Studies an einer Theologischen Fakultät und gleichzeitig die erste Kollegforschungsgruppe an der Universität Regensburg. Die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) hat dieses Format im Jahre 2007 speziell für die Geisteswissenschaften eingeführt: Gelehrte aus aller Welt versammeln sich an einem Ort, um gemeinsam mit ortsansässigen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern ein übergreifendes Thema zu erforschen und zu erörtern. Im Fokus der Forschung stehen unter der Überschrift Jenseits des Kanons (Beyond Canon_) sogenannte Heterotopien religiöser Autorität in der Spätantike. Damit gemeint sind Texte, Riten und Dinge, die mit apokryphen Traditionen in Verbindung stehen und eine besondere Wirksamkeit im kirchlichen Leben entfaltet haben. Sie werden als „andere Orte“ verstanden, die als „Widerlager“ zum biblischen Kanon dienen, den sie fortschreiben, bestätigen oder auch unterlaufen. Das Ziel ist es, Einblicke in das religiöse Leben jenseits kirchlicher und theologischer Normen zu gewinnen und dadurch zugleich Aufschluss über die tatsächliche Bedeutung des biblischen Kanons zu erhalten.

An approach to construct wave packets with complete classical-quantum correspondence in non-relativistic quantum mechanics
Creators: name: Pedram, Pouria
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce a method to construct wave packets with complete classical and quantum correspondence in one-dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanics. First, we consider two similar oscillators with equal total energy. In classical domain, we can easily solve this model and obtain the trajectories in the space of variables. This picture in the quantum level is equivalent with a hyperbolic partial differential equation which gives us a freedom for choosing the initial wave function and its initial slope. By taking advantage of this freedom, we propose a method to choose an appropriate initial condition which is independent from the form of the oscillators. We then construct the wave packets for some cases and show that these wave packets closely follow the whole classical trajectories and peak on them. Moreover, we use de-Broglie Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics to quantify this correspondence and show that the resulting Bohmian trajectories are also in a complete agreement with their classical counterparts.

Morocco's African Foreign Policy

description: Morocco’s African foreign policy is not new, although it features some new characteristics, such as an emphasis on the economy, its reach far beyond traditional francophone African circles, as well as unprecedented number of royal visits across Africa. There are also two non-material aspects to Morocco’s new approach: it comes with a South-South twist and may also indicate an identity shift in Morocco, as it seems that the focus on Africa is replacing the Arab-Islamic orientation that dominated under the late King Hassan II. However, one of main challenges of this policy is Morocco’s dual standing on migration: as the country is increasingly becoming, simultaneously, a sending country, a transit country and a host country for migrants, it faces some difficult choices that risk damaging some of its international alliances.

This publication is part of the MENARA Future Notes series which in the form of policy briefs analyse ongoing events in the SEMCs and Middle East region, emphasising the implications for the EU, suggesting the best policy options and assessing plausible and preferable future scenarios.

Parallel dichotomy algorithm for solving tridiagonal SLAEs

description: A parallel algorithm for solving a series of matrix equations with a constant tridiagonal matrix and different right-hand sides is proposed and studied. The process of solving the problem is represented in two steps. The first preliminary step is fixing some rows of the inverse matrix of SLAEs. The second step consists in calculating solutions for all right-hand sides. For reducing the communication interactions, based on the formulated and proved main parallel sweep theorem, we propose an original algorithm for calculating share components of the solution vector. Theoretical estimates validating the efficiency of the approach for both the common- and distributed-memory supercomputers are obtained. Direct and iterative methods of solving a 2D Poisson equation, which include procedures of tridiagonal matrix inversion, are realized using the mpi technology. Results of computational experiments on a multicomputer demonstrate a high efficiency and scalability of the parallel sweep algorithm.
