title: Stefan Zweig im Exil
Creators: name: Lenjani, Ilir
Year: 2009

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema Stefan Zweig im Exil. Am Anfang dieser Arbeit wird ein Gesamtbild über das Exil von Stefan Zweig entworfen. Dabei werden geschichtliche Ereignisse, politische, soziale und gesellschaftliche Strukturen der Aufnahmeländer und auch der Terminus Heimat näher erläutert, um einen Überblick über das Exil als Gesamtphänomen zu verschaffen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden im Besonderen zwei Werke Stefan Zweigs, die historische Biografie Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam und der Roman Ungeduld des Herzens, die beide eine interessante Entstehungsgeschichte aufweisen, analysiert. Anhand dieser zwei Werke wird versucht, das Exilleben und das Sujet der Werke, herauszuarbeiten. Als erstes wird die historische Biografie Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam näher behandelt. Mit der Gegenüberstellung der historischen Persönlichkeiten Martin Luther gegen Erasmus von Rotterdam stellt dieses Werk ein Selbstbildnis Stefan Zweigs im Gegensatz Adolf Hitler dar. Am Bild des Humanisten Erasmus von Rotterdam orientierte sich Stefan Zweig im Widerstand gegen den in seinen Augen brutalen Machtmenschen Martin Luther. Es sind deutliche Parallelen zwischen dem 16. und 20. Jahrhundert sichtbar.Das letzte Kapitel wird die ausführlich Auseinandersetzung mit seinem Roman Ungeduld des Herzens ausmachen. Als nächstes wird erläutert, von wem Stefan Zweig beim Verfassen dieses Romans beeinflusst worden ist. Desweiteren werden zwei Gruppen von Menschen vorgestellt, welche den Grundsatz der Hoffnung und Verzweiflung verkörpern. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Verkörperung der Schuld. Sie wird in der Figur des Leutnant Hofmillers sichtbar.

description: There is increasing interest in urban airspace mobility (UAM or AAM), which essentially refers to two- or four-seated, electrically driven air-taxis. Due to their expected operations, populated areas will experience this new and unfamiliar aircraft noise. Because of their novel design and operating concepts, their noise characteristics differ remarkably from those of a conventional aircraft. Therefore, aspects of noise impact on affected residents around vertiports and resulting community acceptance of air-taxis come into the focus of research. At the same time, most residents have little or no idea what air-taxi operations will look, or sound like in reality. Acceptance predictions based on acoustic metrics for single flight events, such as sound pressure levels perceived on the ground or equivalent sound pressure levels across a period of time, are speculative. This circumstance represents an uncertainty factor for developing the emerging UAM industry and must be addressed. One central part of the Bavarian State Ministry-funded project PAULA specifically addresses the question: How are air-taxi noise and scenarios across a certain number of operations at various observer points perceived and judged by the population? Laboratory studies using distributions of audio sequences of flyovers and fly-bys, synthetically made audible, can provide the answer to this question. This paper focuses on an overview of the project’s methods, used in the noise impact studies.

description: Dung beetles provide crucial ecosystem services and serve as model organisms for various behavioural, ecological and evolutionary studies. However, dung beetles have received little attention as consumers of large cadavers. In this study, we trapped copronecrophagous dung beetles on above-ground exposed piglet cadavers in 61 forest plots distributed over three geographically distinct regions in Germany, Central Europe. We examined the effects of land use intensity, forest stand, soil characteristics, vascular plant diversity and climatic conditions on dung beetle abundance, species richness and diversity. In all three regions, dung beetles, represented mainly by the geotrupid species Anoplotrupes stercorosus and Trypocopris vernalis, were attracted to the cadavers. High beetle abundance was associated with higher mean ambient temperature. Furthermore, A. stercorosus and T. vernalis were more abundant in areas where soil contained higher proportions of fine sand. Additionally, an increased proportion of forest understorey vegetation and vascular plant diversity positively affected the species richness and diversity of dung beetles. Thus, even in warm dry monocultured forest stands exploited for timber, we found thriving dung beetle populations when a diverse understorey was present. Therefore, forestry practices that preserve the understorey can sustain stable dung beetle populations and ensure their important contribution to nutrient cycles.

description: In this work, microporous layer (MPL) degradation was investigated through the characterization of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell performance and in situ liquid water visualizations. While both the MPL and carbon fiber substrate underwent ex situ carbon corrosion-based degradation, the degradation of the MPL has the most significant impact on the electrochemical performance and the liquid water distribution within the operating PEM fuel cell. Specifically, MPL degradation resulted in larger quantities of liquid water accumulation within the gas diffusion layer (GDL), and we attributed this accumulation to the loss of MPL hydrophobicity caused by the carbon corrosion-based degradation process. The increased liquid water accumulation led to increased mass transport resistances and performance losses at high operating current densities (> 1.5 A/cm2). With increasing current density, the liquid water saturation profile converged to an upper threshold within GDLs with MPLs, whereas an upper liquid water saturation threshold was not observed for GDLs without MPLs. Predictions of long-term performance characteristics of PEM fuel cells should be informed by the proneness of the MPL to carbon corrosion degradation.

description: The management of residual municipal waste after recycling is becoming an increasingly problematic procedure, while the challenges related to this process are multi-dimensional and encompass environmental, economic and social factors. As per the recommendations of the European Union, it is more beneficial for the residual fraction to undergo disposal via waste-to-energy conversion in specialist incineration plants and monitored low-power boilers than by landfilling. Such a process not only limits the negative impact on the environment that is characteristic of landfilling, but also makes it possible to obtain additional electric and thermal energy.

description: Drones are a relatively novel noise source in the modern sonic environment. Yet, research on short-term noise annoyance is still sparse. In this contribution, a laboratory listening experiment is presented, which investigated the association of quadcopter size (smaller, larger), maneuver and flight speed on noise annoyance. The experiment revealed that (1) the smaller drone was perceived as more annoying than the larger drone; (2) takeoff and landing maneuvers were more annoying than flybys, and (3) a "loitering effect" was observed, with slow flybys eliciting higher annoyance ratings, especially for high-altitude operations. The findings from this study foretell the potentially unique challenges posed by drone noise to our communities, suggesting the necessity for distinctive assessment in terms of noise regulation.

description: L’Autrice si interroga sulla necessità di rintracciare nell’ordinamento – con riferimento alla dimensione temporale del lavoro – solide basi di protezione di beni primari come la salute e sicurezza dei lavoratori. L’operazione conoscitiva è svolta a partire dalle regole di matrice legale che disciplinano l’organizzazione dell’orario di lavoro, il focus sulla caratterizzazione ex ante o ex post della tutela è centrale soprattutto alla luce del fatto che le soluzioni di protezione “secondaria” si dimostrano inidonee a garantire effettività. L’ausilio della disciplina prevenzionistica – in particolare in sede di predisposizione del documento di valutazione dei rischi – può fornire interessanti risposte, come strumento di controllo e contenimento della flessibilità oraria.

 The Author questions possible legal basis of protection of fundamental rights to health and safety, with reference to working time. The focus on ex ante or ex post protection is central, specially starting from the assumption that “secondary protection” is not suitable to guarantee effectivity to a given measure. Interesting answers may be supplied by preventive rules: the “risk assessment document” could be an instrument to control and restraint working time flexibility.

description: A pilot scale drone network for medical delivery is currently being developed for NHS Scotland as part of Project CAELUS. This paper describes the development of a set of online sound demonstrations of the drone intended for use in the network. The sound demonstrations comprise validated auralisations of overflight and take-off operations within three distinct ambient soundscapes. A comprehensive field survey was undertaken to characterise the acoustic signature of the drone at different distances from the flight path and take-off point. An analysis-synthesis approach, based on the field survey data and recordings, has been used to develop auralisations of the drone. The plausibility of the auralisations has been assessed through objective comparisons against the measured field data and subjectively via critical listening sessions. The resulting sound demonstrations have been used as the basis of an online listening experiment investigating the human response to drone sound, detailed in a companion paper.

description: Abstract Investigations of geometric frustrations in magnetic antidot lattices have led to the observation of interesting phenomena like spin-ice and magnetic monopoles. By using highly focused magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements and x-ray microscopy with magnetic contrast we deduce that geometrical frustration in these nanostructured thin film systems also leads to an out-of-plane magnetization from a purely in-plane applied magnetic field. For certain orientations of the antidot lattice, formation of perpendicular magnetic domains has been found with a size of several μm that may be used for an in-plane/out-of-plane transducer.

description: To identify the most efficient methods of immunological protection against SARS-CoV-2, including the currently most widespread variants of concern (VOCs)—B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and P.1—a simultaneous side-by-side-comparison of available vaccination regimes is required. In this observational cohort study, we compared immunological responses in 144 individuals vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 and the vector vaccine ChAdOx1-nCoV-19, either alone, in combination, or in the context of COVID-19-convalescence. Unvaccinated COVID-19-convalescent subjects served as a reference. We found that cellular and serological immune responses, including neutralizing capacity against VOCs, were significantly stronger with mRNA vaccines as compared with COVID-19-convalescent individuals or vaccinated individuals receiving the vector vaccine ChAdOx1-nCoV-19. Booster immunizations with mRNA vaccines triggered strong and broadly neutralizing antibody and IFN-γ responses in 100% of vaccinated individuals investigated. This effect was particularly strong in COVID-19-convalescent and ChAdOx1-nCoV-19-primed individuals, who were characterized by comparably moderate cellular and neutralizing antibody responses before mRNA vaccine booster. Heterologous vaccination regimes and convalescent booster regimes using mRNA vaccines may allow enhanced protection against SARS-CoV-2, including current VOCs. Furthermore, such regimes may facilitate rapid (re-)qualification of convalescent plasma donors with high titers of broadly neutralizing antibodies.

description: A pilot scale drone network for medical delivery is currently being developed for NHS Scotland as part of Project CAELUS. Noise is a key concern for the public acceptance of drone networks. There is a lack of empirical data on the human response to the sound of drones. This paper presents an online listening experiment designed to collect data on annoyance related to overflight (N = 425) and take-off (N = 278) operations of the proposed drone. The experiment follows a full factorial design, examining the effects of drone-listener distance, ambient soundscape type (remote rural, rural village, or urban), and context (medical delivery, no context). Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant effects of drone listener distance (p < 0.01), ambient soundscape type (p < 0.01), and contextual information (p < 0.01) on annoyance during both overflight and take-off operations. The study highlights the importance of considering contextual factors in the planning and assessment of drone operations.
title: Vergleich unterschiedlicher Extraktionsmethoden bei der Bestimmung von Vitamin E und Carotinoiden in Lebensmitteln
Creators: name: Wallner, Marlies
Year: 2009

description: Die Extraktion ist eine häufig eingesetzte Methode um einzelne Bestandteile (z.B. Makro- und Mikronährstoffe) aus unterschiedlichen Probematerialien (z.B. Lebensmittel) zu erhalten. Die erhaltenen Extrakte können danach direkt analysiert werden. Die Methode zum Herauslösen von fettlöslichen Vitaminen, die aktuell am Department für Ernährungswissenschaften angewandt wird, ist eine modifizierte Fest-Flüssig-Extraktionsmethode nach Folch et al. (1957). Um fettlösliche Substanzen aus Lebensmitteln lösen zu können, ist ein organisches Extraktionsmittel notwendig. Das verwendete Lösungsmittel Chloroform ist allerdings im Gespräch, gesundheitlich bedenklich zu sein. Daher wird versucht, von diesem Extraktionsmittel Abstand zu nehmen und eine Alternative zu finden. Das Lösungsmittel sollte die Analyten in quantitativ gleichwertiger Form wie Chloroform herauslösen können und auch gut zu handhaben sein. Bei der Extraktion muss allerdings auch mit Verlusten des Analyten gerechnet werden. Schon bei der Probenvorbereitung kann es, beispielsweise wie bei Gefriertrocknung der Probe, zu Verlusten kommen. Durch Einsatz von Filtern ist genauso mit Verlusten zu rechnen, wie auch durch die Verwendung von Natriumsulfat. Ebenso soll die Art und Dauer der Einwirkzeit des Lösungsmittels überprüft werden, um eventuelle Verluste aufgrund zu kurzer Einwirkzeiten festzustellen. Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit sollten eventuelle Vitamin-Verluste während einer Fest-Flüssig-Extraktion und der Probenvorbereitung aufgedeckt werden und eine Alternative zum derzeit verwendeten Lösungsmittel Chloroform gefunden werden.

description: The acoustic transmission loss characteristics of thermally loaded, double-walled multilayer microplates with functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) cores and magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) layers are examined in this work using a unique framework. The effective material characteristics of FG-GPLRC are assessed for a range of graphene platelet distributions, including uniform, symmetric, and asymmetric configurations, using the Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model and the law of mixtures. First-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) are used in the study to account for size-dependent effects. Hamilton’s principle and continuity conditions are used to generate governing equations for the coupled electromagneto-thermo-acoustic vibration response. The Galerkin technique is utilized to solve these equations analytically. The effects of length scale parameters, temperature profiles, temperature fluctuations, incident acoustic angles, cavity depth, electric and magnetic potentials, graphene distribution patterns, and graphene weight fractions on the STL performance are assessed through extensive parametric analyses. The findings demonstrate the critical influence of thermal and electromagnetic fields on the vibroacoustic behavior of advanced microstructures, offering new insights and practical design guidelines for engineering applications in harsh environments. Length scales elevate stiffness, improving low-frequency acoustic isolation via structural rigidification.FG-X graphene dispersion maximizes transmission loss; FG-O minimizes attenuation owing to dissimilar stiffness effects.Uniform thermal softening greatly degrades stiffness-dependent noise blocking in low-frequency bands.Actively tailoring electromechanical coupling through electric/magnetic fields overcomes inherent bandwidth limitations of passive materials.

Research Design and Methods This retrospective analysis of the German/Austrian Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation registry included data from 263 centers and 2529 patients <20 years (n = 660 tubeless insulin pump; n = 1869 MDI) who initiated treatment on a tubeless insulin pump as of January 1, 2013 and had 1 year of data preswitch from MDI and 3 years of data postswitch to a tubeless pump. Outcomes included the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin dose, and body mass index (BMI) SD score (SDS). Results Youth with T1D who switched from MDI therapy to a tubeless insulin pump showed better glycemic control at 1 year compared to patients who continued MDI treatment, adjusted mean ± SE: 7.5% ± 0.03% (58 mmol/mol) vs 7.7% ± 0.02% (61 mmol/mol); P < .001, with no between‐group difference at 2 and 3 years. Total daily insulin dose was lower (P < .001) in the tubeless insulin pump group, 0.80 ± 0.01, 0.81 ± 0.01, and 0.85 ± 0.01 U/kg, vs the MDI group, 0.89 ± 0.01, 0.94 ± 0.01, and 0.97 ± 0.01 U/kg, at 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively (all P < .001). BMI SDS increased in both groups and was not different over time. Conclusions Treatment with a tubeless insulin pump in youth with T1D was associated with improvements in glycemic control compared to MDI after 1 year and appears to be an effective alternative to MDI. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

description: Composite culture is often seen in regions with a history of cultural diversity and intercultural exchange, such as trading centers, crossroads of civilizations, or areas with a history of migration and conquest. It is important to note that composite culture is not a static concept; it continues to evolve as societies and cultures interact and change over time. People of multi philosophical ideas had co-existed right from the Vedic period. At the end of Vedic times, we could notice the evolving and inclusive living of societies with Buddhist’s, Mahavir’s principles along with the Ajivikas to mention a few. With the beginning of Common Era, the principles of Christianity came into confluence and the followers of Islam also lived in the same society of south India when Islam originated. It goes without saying that the epigraphs are the primary and contemporary and more reliable source of the time and found mostly engraved on the stone walls of the temples. In this search we are lucky to have the multiple volumes of them published by The Indian Council for Historical Research (ICHR), categorically volumed on language basis. The specialty of Vijayanagar period is the availability of inscriptions in multiple languages like Tamil, Sanskrit, Telugu and Kannada.

description: Background: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is associated with high levels of functional impairments such as difficulties in academic or occupational performance and in social relationships. With an increasing number of traumatic event types experienced (trauma load), PTSD risk increases in a dose-dependent manner. Accordingly, high rates of PTSD can impair the reconstruction process in post-conflict societies. In order to meet these high needs for mental health services in societies with little access to professional care, task shifting approaches and community-based interventions have been suggested. Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) has been developed as a short and pragmatic exposure-based PTSD treatment that can be easily trained to lay personnel. Yet, it remains unclear whether NET can be effectively provided by trained lay counsellors even at high levels of trauma load. Objective: To investigate whether trauma load influences the treatment effectiveness of NET provided by trained and supervised local lay counsellors. Method: Linear mixed models were calculated to investigate the influence of trauma load on treatment effectiveness in a sample of N = 323 rebel war survivors from Northern Uganda with PTSD. Results: We found a strong reduction of PTSD symptoms following NET, which was not influenced by trauma load. However, individuals with higher levels of trauma load reported higher PTSD symptoms before therapy as well as 4 and 10 months following treatment completion compared to individuals with lower trauma load. Conclusions: Treatment with NET by lay counsellors is effective independent of trauma load. However, individuals with higher trauma load have a higher probability to show residual symptoms, which might require additional time, sessions or treatment modules.

description: Context: Sporadic pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (sporPHP1B) is an imprinting disease without a defined genetic cause, characterized by broad methylation changes in differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of the GNAS gene. Objective: This work aims to provide insights into the causative event leading to the GNAS methylation defects through comprehensive molecular genetic analyses of a pair of female monozygotic twins concordant for sporPHP1B who were conceived naturally i.e., without assisted reproductive techniques. Methods: Using the leukocyte genome of the twins and family members, we performed targeted bisulfite sequencing, methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme (MSRE)-qPCR, whole-genome sequencing (WGS), high-density SNP array, and Sanger sequencing. Results: Methylation analyses by targeted bisulfite sequencing and MSRE-qPCR revealed almost complete loss of methylation at the GNAS AS, XL, and A/B DMRs and gain of methylation at the NESP55 DMR in the twins, but not in other family members. Except for the GNAS locus, we did not find apparent methylation defects at other imprinted genome loci of the twins. WGS, SNP array, and Sanger sequencing did not detect the previously described genetic defects associated with familial PHP1B. Sanger sequencing also ruled out any novel genetic alterations in the entire NESP55/AS region. However, the analysis of 28 consecutive SNPs could not exclude the possibility of paternal heterodisomy in a span of 22 kb comprising exon NESP55 and AS exon 5. Conclusion: Our comprehensive analysis of a pair of monozygotic twins with sporPHP1B ruled out all previously described genetic causes. Twin concordance indicates that the causative event was an imprinting error earlier than the timing of monozygotic twinning.

description: Aufgabe und Zielsetzung dieser Diplomarbeit war es, zwei neu synthetisierte Stilbenderivate (KJ5 undKj16), auf ihre Wirkung an isolierten Organen von Meerschweinchen zu untersuchen. Dabei dienten Arteria pulmonalis, Aorta und Ileum terminalis, um die Wirkung auf die glatte Muskulatur zu testen,. Um eine Wirkung auf die Herzmuskulatur zu überprüfen, bediente man sich Präparaten von Atrium dexter und Musculi papillares. Von Interesse war nicht nur die Eigenwirkung der jeweiligen Testsubstanz, sondern auch der Vergleich mit der bereits gut erforschten Leitsubstanz Resveratrol. Die Versuche zeigten, dass die beiden Substanzen auf gewisse Organe eine stärkere, doch auf manche Organe keine, bis schwache Wirkung besitzen im Vergleich mit der Leitsubstanz.

description: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs, known as mesenchymal stem cells) are considered to be a promising therapeutic tool for many diseases. But it is still unclear which cells are more efficient and safe for wound healing and tissue regeneration for clinical applications: undifferentiated, partially differentiated stem cells or differentiated cells. In this study, we modified MSCs with keratinocyte-conditioned medium (KCM) and examined MSCs, partially differentiated MSCs (PMSCs) and differentiated cell migration, accumulation in the wounded area as well as cell regenerative efficiency in a full-thickness skin wound model. In addition to that, the impact of intradermal and intravenous cell delivery methods of wound healing was evaluated. C57BL/6J mouse compact bone MSCs were treated with a KCM for 14 days. Flow cytometry analysis showed the appearance of keratinocyte surface markers which were absent in MSCs, whereas the specific markers for MSCs were lost. Cells were injected either intravenously or intradermally in C57BL/6J mice. Wound closure, cell migration and accumulation in the wounded area were further analysed. Wound healing was assessed by the rate of wound closure and by histological evaluation. Cells were monitored using optical imaging. We demonstrated that PMSCs showed morphology similar to keratinocyte cells, had enhanced migration and increased survival at the site of injury. PMSCs had a beneficial effect on wound healing and tissue regeneration. This effect was reinforced when these cells were injected intravenously. Due to their partial differentiation status, we assume that PMSCs can differentiate more rapidly into epidermal cell lineages thus causing faster and qualitatively improved wound healing.

description: Das Schlagwort „Corporate Social Responsibility“, kurz CSR, beherrscht seit einiger Zeit die Wirtschaft. Nicht nur in Österreich, sondern auch in der gesamten EU und in den USA, scheint das Thema um die unternehmerische Verantwortung der Gesellschaft eine gewisse Priorität zu haben. Aber was ist CSR, beziehungsweise was bedeutet es, im Sinne von CSR gesellschaftlich verantwortlich zu handeln? Warum gibt es dieses Umdenken in der Wirtschaft? Welche Maßnahmen sollten getroffen werden, um der gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung sinnvoll nachzugehen? Welche wichtigen Begrifflichkeiten gilt es in diesem Kontext zu behandeln? Ist der Grund des freiwilligen gesellschaftlichen Handelns der zunehmende öffentliche Druck? Alle diese Fragen sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser Arbeit. Im theoretischen Teil dieser Arbeit geht es darum, die zentralen Begriffe der Diskussion über die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung von Unternehmen näher zu beleuchten und Begriffe wie Corporate Social Responsibility, Corporate Citizenship, Corporate Governance, Stakeholder Management, Social Responsible Investment und nachhaltige Entwicklung voneinander abzugrenzen und deren Bedeutung aufzuzeigen. Modelle und Ansätze in der Entwicklungsphase von CSR, internationale Rahmendokumente und Standards der CSR-Debatte sowie eine allgemeine Darstellung der Situation in Österreich werden näher betrachtet. Im praktischen Teil soll eine Fallstudienanalyse der Unternehmen Henkel CEE, OMV AG und der Telekom Austria Group anhand von Fragen in Bezug auf die durchgeführten Maßnahmen, Projekte und inhaltlichen Schwerpunkte in den drei Bereichen Ökologie, Ökonomie und Soziales zeigen, wie CSR in der Praxis gelebt wird. Die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung von Unternehmen und die verschiedenen Konzepte, die dahinter stehen, sind ein weites Feld. Es treffen viele unterschiedliche Meinungen und Sichtweisen aufeinander, jedoch ist man sich über die Wichtigkeit von CSR-Maßnahmen und deren steigenden Bedeutung in der Zukunft einig. Die aktive Anwendung von CSR bringt eine Reihe von Vorteilen und bewirkt einen Zusatznutzen für Unternehmen und dient zu guter Letzt dem Allgemeinwohl der Bevölkerung.

description: Squeezing is a resource that enables precision enhancements in quantum metrology and can be used as a basis for the generation of entanglement by linear optics. While strong squeezing is challenging to generate in optical fields, here we present simple periodic modulation protocols in optomechanical systems that can generate large squeezing of their mechanical degrees of freedom for realistic system parameters. We then proceed to show how such protocols can serve to improve the measurement precision of weak forces and enhance the generation of entanglement between test masses that are subject to any kind of weak interaction. Moreover, these protocols can be reverted to reduce the amount of injected energy, while preserving the generated entanglement and making it more resilient to noise. We present the principle at work, discuss its application in a variety of physical settings, including levitated and tethered mechanical harmonic oscillators, and present example applications to Casimir and gravitational forces.
