This article investigates a public debate in Germany that put a special spotlight on the interaction of standard language ideologies with social dichotomies, centering on the question of whether Kiezdeutsch, a new way of speaking in multilingual urban neighbourhoods, is a legitimate German dialect. Based on a corpus of emails and postings to media websites, I analyse central topoi in this debate and an underlying narrative on language and identity. Central elements of this narrative are claims of cultural elevation and cultural unity for an idealised standard language High German', a view of German dialects as part of a national folk culture, and the construction of an exclusive in-group of German' speakers who own this language and its dialects. The narrative provides a potent conceptual frame for the Othering of Kiezdeutsch and its speakers, and for the projection of social and sometimes racist deliminations onto the linguistic plane.
We present results of full 3D hydrodynamical and radiative transfer simulations of the colliding stellar winds in the massive binary system η Carinae. We accomplish this by applying the SimpleX algorithm for 3D radiative transfer on an unstructured Voronoi-Delaunay grid to recent 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of the binary colliding winds. We use SimpleX to obtain detailed ionization fractions of hydrogen and helium, in 3D, at the resolution of the original SPH simulations. We investigate several computational domain sizes and Luminous Blue Variable primary star mass-loss rates. We furthermore present new methods of visualizing and interacting with output from complex 3D numerical simulations, including 3D interactive graphics and 3D printing. While we initially focus on η Car, the methods employed can be applied to numerous other colliding wind (WR 140, WR 137, WR 19) and dusty `pinwheel' (WR 104, WR 98a) binary systems. Coupled with 3D hydrodynamical simulations, SimpleX simulations have the potential to help determine the regions where various observed time-variable emission and absorption lines form in these unique objects.
We present 3D numerical simulations of the NGC6888 nebula considering the proper motion and the evolution of the star, from the red supergiant (RSG) to the Wolf-Rayet (WR) phase. Our simulations reproduce the limb-brightened morphology observed in [OIII] and X-ray emission maps. The synthetic maps computed by the numerical simulations show filamentary and clumpy structures produced by instabilities triggered in the interaction between the WR wind and the RSG shell.
The main objective of this work is to investigate the evolution of massive stars, and the interplay between them and the ionized gas for a sample of local metal-poor Wolf-Rayet galaxies.
Optical integral field spectrocopy was used in combination with multi-wavelength radio data.
Combining optical and radio data, we locate Wolf-Rayet stars and supernova remnants across the Wolf-Rayet galaxies to study the spatial correlation between them. This study will shed light on the massive star formation and its feedback, and will help us to better understand
distant star-forming galaxies.
The Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI) has become a popular metric for evaluating improvement in disease prediction models through the past years. The concept is relatively straightforward but usage and interpretation has been different across studies. While no thresholds exist for evaluating the degree of improvement, many studies have relied solely on the significance of the NRI estimate. However, recent studies recommend that statistical testing with the NRI should be avoided. We propose using confidence ellipses around the estimated values of event and non-event NRIs which might provide the best measure of variability around the point estimates. Our developments are illustrated using practical examples from EPIC-Potsdam study.
We analyse whether a stellar atmosphere model computed with the code CMFGEN provides an optimal description of the stellar observations of WR 136 and simultaneously reproduces the nebular observations of NGC 6888, such as the ionization degree, which is modelled with the pyCloudy code. All the observational material available (far and near UV and optical spectra) were used to constrain such models. We found that the stellar temperature T∗, at τ = 20, can be in a range between 70 000 and 110 000 K, but when using the nebula as an additional restriction, we found that the stellar models with T∗ ∼ 70 000 K represent the best solution for both, the star and the nebula.
A flexible approach to assess fluorescence decay functions in complex energy transfer systems
(2015)
Background: Time-correlated Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) probes molecular distances with greater accuracy than intensity-based calculation of FRET efficiency and provides a powerful tool to study biomolecular structure and dynamics. Moreover, time-correlated photon count measurements bear additional information on the variety of donor surroundings allowing more detailed differentiation between distinct structural geometries which are typically inaccessible to general fitting solutions.
Results: Here we develop a new approach based on Monte Carlo simulations of time-correlated FRET events to estimate the time-correlated single photon counts (TCSPC) histograms in complex systems. This simulation solution assesses the full statistics of time-correlated photon counts and distance distributions of fluorescently labeled biomolecules. The simulations are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the dye behavior in FRET systems with defined dye distances and measurements of randomly distributed dye solutions. We validate the simulation results using a highly heterogeneous aggregation system and explore the conditions to use this tool in complex systems.
Conclusion: This approach is powerful in distinguishing distance distributions in a wide variety of experimental setups, thus providing a versatile tool to accurately distinguish between different structural assemblies in highly complex systems.
Climate change and its impacts already pose considerable challenges for societies that will further increase with global warming (IPCC, 2014a, b). Uncertainties of the climatic response to greenhouse gas emissions include the potential passing of large-scale tipping points (e.g. Lenton et al., 2008; Levermann et al., 2012; Schellnhuber, 2010) and changes in extreme meteorological events (Field et al., 2012) with complex impacts on societies (Hallegatte et al., 2013). Thus climate change mitigation is considered a necessary societal response for avoiding uncontrollable impacts (Conference of the Parties, 2010). On the other hand, large-scale climate change mitigation itself implies fundamental changes in, for example, the global energy system. The associated challenges come on top of others that derive from equally important ethical imperatives like the fulfilment of increasing food demand that may draw on the same resources. For example, ensuring food security for a growing population may require an expansion of cropland, thereby reducing natural carbon sinks or the area available for bio-energy production. So far, available studies addressing this problem have relied on individual impact models, ignoring uncertainty in crop model and biome model projections. Here, we propose a probabilistic decision framework that allows for an evaluation of agricultural management and mitigation options in a multi-impact-model setting. Based on simulations generated within the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP), we outline how cross-sectorally consistent multi-model impact simulations could be used to generate the information required for robust decision making.
Using an illustrative future land use pattern, we discuss the trade-off between potential gains in crop production and associated losses in natural carbon sinks in the new multiple crop-and biome-model setting. In addition, crop and water model simulations are combined to explore irrigation increases as one possible measure of agricultural intensification that could limit the expansion of cropland required in response to climate change and growing food demand. This example shows that current impact model uncertainties pose an important challenge to long-term mitigation planning and must not be ignored in long-term strategic decision making.
Background: Medical training is very demanding and associated with a high prevalence of psychological distress. Compared to the general population, medical students are at a greater risk of developing a psychological disorder. Various attempts of stress management training in medical school have achieved positive results on minimizing psychological distress; however, there are often limitations. Therefore, the use of a rigorous scientific method is needed. The present study protocol describes a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of a specifically developed mindfulness-based stress prevention training for medical students that includes selected elements of cognitive behavioral strategies (MediMind).
Methods/Design: This study protocol presents a prospective randomized controlled trial, involving four assessment time points: baseline, post-intervention, one-year follow-up and five-year follow-up. The aims include evaluating the effect on stress, coping, psychological morbidity and personality traits with validated measures. Participants are allocated randomly to one of three conditions: MediMind, Autogenic Training or control group. Eligible participants are medical or dental students in the second or eighth semester of a German university. They form a population of approximately 420 students in each academic term. A final total sample size of 126 (at five-year follow-up) is targeted. The trainings (MediMind and Autogenic Training) comprise five weekly sessions lasting 90 minutes each. MediMind will be offered to participants of the control group once the five-year follow-up is completed. The allotment is randomized with a stratified allocation ratio by course of studies, semester, and gender. After descriptive statistics have been evaluated, inferential statistical analysis will be carried out with a repeated measures ANOVA-design with interactions between time and group. Effect sizes will be calculated using partial η-square values.
Discussion: Potential limitations of this study are voluntary participation and the risk of attrition, especially concerning participants that are allocated to the control group. Strengths are the study design, namely random allocation, follow-up assessment, the use of control groups and inclusion of participants at different stages of medical training with the possibility of differential analysis.
A multi-reference study of the byproduct formation for a ring-closed dithienylethene photoswitch
(2015)
Photodriven molecular switches are sometimes hindered in their performance by forming byproducts which act as dead ends in sequences of switching cycles, leading to rapid fatigue effects. Understanding the reaction pathways to unwanted byproducts is a prerequisite for preventing them. This article presents a study of the photochemical reaction pathways for byproduct formation in the photochromic switch 1,2-bis-(3-thienyl)-ethene. Specifically, using single- and multi-reference methods the post-deexcitation reaction towards the byproduct in the electronic ground state S0 when starting from the S1–S0 conical intersection (CoIn), is considered in detail. We find an unusual low-energy pathway, which offers the possibility for the formation of a dyotropic byproduct. Several high-energy pathways can be excluded with high probability.
Fluid force microscopy combines the positional accuracy and force sensitivity of an atomic
force microscope (AFM) with nanofluidics via a microchanneled cantilever. However, adequate loading and cleaning procedures for such AFM micropipettes are required for various application situations. Here, a new frontloading procedure is described for an AFM micropipette functioning as a force- and pressure-controlled microscale liquid dispenser. This frontloading
procedure seems especially attractive when using target substances featuring high
costs or low available amounts. Here, the AFM micropipette could be filled from the tip side with liquid from a previously applied droplet with a volume of only a few μL using a short low-pressure pulse. The liquid-loaded AFM micropipettes could be then applied for experiments in air or liquid environments. AFM micropipette frontloading was evaluated with the well-known organic fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G and the AlexaFluor647-labeled antibody goat anti-rat IgG as an example of a larger biological compound. After micropipette usage, specific cleaning procedures were tested. Furthermore, a storage method is described, at which the AFM micropipettes could be stored for a few hours up to several days without drying out or clogging of the microchannel. In summary, the rapid, versatile and cost-efficient
frontloading and cleaning procedure for the repeated usage of a single AFM micropipette is beneficial for various application situations from specific surface modifications through to local manipulation of living cells, and provides a simplified and faster handling for already known experiments with fluid force microscopy.
We suggest several ideas which when combined could lead to a new mechanism for long-term pulsations of very hot and luminous stars. These involve the interplay between convection, radiation, atmospheric clumping and winds, which collectively feed back to stellar expansion and contraction. We discuss these ideas and point out the future work required in order to fill in the blanks.
We consider a Cauchy problem for the heat equation in a cylinder X x (0,T) over a domain X in the n-dimensional space with data on a strip lying on the lateral surface. The strip is of the form
S x (0,T), where S is an open subset of the boundary of X. The problem is ill-posed. Under natural restrictions on the configuration of S we derive an explicit formula for solutions of this problem.
We present the first physical characterization of the young open cluster VVVCL041. We spectroscopically observed the cluster main-sequence stellar population and a very-massive star candidate: WR62-2. CMFGEN modelling to our near-infrared spectra indicates that WR62-2 is a very luminous (10^6.4±0.2 L⊙)and massive (∼ 80M⊙) star.
Let A be a nonlinear differential operator on an open set X in R^n and S a closed subset of X. Given a class F of functions in X, the set S is said to be removable for F relative to A if any weak solution of A (u) = 0 in the complement of S of class F satisfies this equation weakly in all of X. For the most extensively studied classes F we show conditions on S which guarantee that S is removable for F relative to A.
The size and morphology control of precipitated solid particles is a major economic issue for numerous industries. For instance, it is interesting for the nuclear industry, concerning the recovery of radioactive species from used nuclear fuel.
The precipitates features, which are a key parameter from the post-precipitate processing, depend on the process local mixing conditions. So far, the relationship between precipitation features and hydrodynamic conditions have not been investigated.
In this study, a new experimental configuration consisting of coalescing drops is set to investigate the link between reactive crystallization and hydrodynamics. Two configurations of aqueous drops are examined. The first one corresponds to high contact angle drops (>90°) in oil, as a model system for flowing drops, the second one correspond to sessile drops in air with low contact angle (<25°). In both cases, one reactive is dissolved in each drop, namely oxalic acid and cerium nitrate. When both drops get into contact, they may coalesce; the dissolved species mix and react to produce insoluble cerium oxalate. The precipitates features and effect on hydrodynamics are investigated depending on the solvent. In the case of sessile drops in air, the surface tension difference between the drops generates a gradient which induces a Marangoni flow from the low surface tension drop over the high surface tension drop. By setting the surface tension difference between the two drops and thus the Marangoni flow, the hydrodynamics conditions during the drop coalescence could be modified. Diols/water mixtures are used as solvent, in order to fix the surface tension difference between the liquids of both drops regardless from the reactant concentration. More precisely, the used diols, 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol, are isomer with identical density and close viscosity. By keeping the water volume fraction constant and playing with the 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol volume fractions of the solvents, the mixtures surface tensions differ up to 10 mN/m for identical/constant reactant concentration, density and viscosity. 3 precipitation behaviors were identified for the coalescence of water/diols/recatants drops depending on the oxalic excess. The corresponding precipitates patterns are visualized by optical microscopy and the precipitates are characterized by confocal microscopy SEM, XRD and SAXS measurements. In the intermediate oxalic excess regime, formation of periodic patterns can be observed. These patterns consist in alternating cerium oxalate precipitates with distinct morphologies, namely needles and “microflowers”. Such periodic fringes can be explained by a feedback mechanism between convection, reaction and the diffusion.
Abstract gringo
(2015)
This paper defines the syntax and semantics of the input language of the ASP grounder gringo. The definition covers several constructs that were not discussed in earlier work on the semantics of that language, including intervals, pools, division of integers, aggregates with non-numeric values, and lparse-style aggregate expressions. The definition is abstract in the sense that it disregards some details related to representing programs by strings of ASCII characters. It serves as a specification for gringo from Version 4.5 on.
We present results from our near-infrared spectroscopy with VLT/ISAAC of four, massive eclipsing binary systems in the young, heavily reddened, massive Danks clusters. We derive accurate fundamental parameters and the distance to these massive systems, which comprise of OIf+, WR and O-type stars. Our goal is to increase the sample of well-studied WR stars and constrain their physics by comparison with evolutionary models.
Assumed comparable environmental conditions of early Mars and early Earth in 3.7 Ga ago – at a time when first fossil records of life on Earth could be found – suggest the possibility of life emerging on both planets in parallel. As conditions changed, the hypothetical life on Mars either became extinct or was able to adapt and might still exist in biological niches. The controversial discussed detection of methane on Mars led to the assumption, that it must have a recent origin – either abiotic through active volcanism or chemical processes, or through biogenic production. Spatial and seasonal variations in the detected methane concentrations and correlations between the presence of water vapor and geological features such as subsurface hydrogen, which are occurring together with locally increased detected concentrations of methane, gave fuel to the hypothesis of a possible biological source of the methane on Mars.
Therefore the phylogenetically old methanogenic archaea, which have evolved under early Earth conditions, are often used as model-organisms in astrobiological studies to investigate the potential of life to exist in possible extraterrestrial habitats on our neighboring planet. In this thesis methanogenic archaea originating from two extreme environments on Earth were investigated to test their ability to be active under simulated Mars analog conditions. These extreme environments – the Siberian permafrost-affected soil and the chemoautotrophically based terrestrial ecosystem of Movile cave, Romania – are regarded as analogs for possible Martian (subsurface) habitats. Two novel species of methanogenic archaea isolated from these environments were described within the frame of this thesis.
It could be shown that concentrations up to 1 wt% of Mars regolith analogs added to the growth media had a positive influence on the methane production rates of the tested methanogenic archaea, whereas higher concentrations resulted in decreasing rates. Nevertheless it was possible for the organisms to metabolize when incubated on water-saturated soil matrixes made of Mars regolith analogs without any additional nutrients. Long-term desiccation resistance of more than 400 days was proven with reincubation and indirect counting of viable cells through a combined treatment with propidium monoazide (to inactivate DNA of destroyed cells) and quantitative PCR. Phyllosilicate rich regolith analogs seem to be the best soil mixtures for the tested methanogenic archaea to be active under Mars analog conditions. Furthermore, in a simulation chamber experiment the activity of the permafrost methanogen strain Methanosarcina soligelidi SMA-21 under Mars subsurface analog conditions could be proven. Through real-time wavelength modulation spectroscopy measurements the increase in the methane concentration at temperatures down to -5 °C could be detected.
The results presented in this thesis contribute to the understanding of the activity potential of methanogenic archaea under Mars analog conditions and therefore provide insights to the possible habitability of present-day Mars (near) subsurface environments. Thus, it contributes also to the data interpretation of future life detection missions on that planet. For example the ExoMars mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos which is planned to be launched in 2018 and is aiming to drill in the Martian subsurface.
The rise of evolutionary novelties is one of the major drivers of evolutionary diversification. African weakly-electric fishes (Teleostei, Mormyridae) have undergone an outstanding adaptive radiation, putatively owing to their ability to communicate through species-specific Electric Organ Discharges (EODs) produced by a novel, muscle-derived electric organ. Indeed, such EODs might have acted as effective pre-zygotic isolation mechanisms, hence favoring ecological speciation in this group of fishes. Despite the evolutionary importance of this organ, genetic investigations regarding its origin and function have remained limited.
The ultimate aim of this study is to better understand the genetic basis of EOD production by exploring the transcriptomic profiles of the electric organ and of its ancestral counterpart, the skeletal muscle, in the genus Campylomormyrus. After having established a set of reference transcriptomes using “Next-Generation Sequencing” (NGS) technologies, I performed in silico analyses of differential expression, in order to identify sets of genes that might be responsible for the functional differences observed between these two kinds of tissues. The results of such analyses indicate that: i) the loss of contractile activity and the decoupling of the excitation-contraction processes are reflected by the down-regulation of the corresponding genes in the electric organ; ii) the metabolic activity of the electric organ might be specialized towards the production and turnover of membrane structures; iii) several ion channels are highly expressed in the electric organ in order to increase excitability, and iv) several myogenic factors might be down-regulated by transcription repressors in the EO.
A secondary task of this study is to improve the genus level phylogeny of Campylomormyrus by applying new methods of inference based on the multispecies coalescent model, in order to reduce the conflict among gene trees and to reconstruct a phylogenetic tree as closest as possible to the actual species-tree. By using 1 mitochondrial and 4 nuclear markers, I was able to resolve the phylogenetic relationships among most of the currently described Campylomormyrus species. Additionally, I applied several coalescent-based species delimitation methods, in order to test the hypothesis that putatively cryptic species, which are distinguishable only from their EOD, belong to independently evolving lineages. The results of this analysis were additionally validated by investigating patterns of diversification at 16 microsatellite loci. The results suggest the presence of a new, yet undescribed species of Campylomormyrus.
Zellbasierte heterologe Expressionssysteme bieten ein einfaches und schnelles Verfahren, um neue Süßstoffe oder Süßverstärker zu finden. Unter Verwendung eines solchen Testsystems, konnte ich in Zusammenarbeit mit der Symrise AG, Holzminden und dem Institut für Pflanzenbiochemie in Halle/Saale die vietnamesische Pflanze Mycetia balansae als Quelle eines neuen Süßstoffs identifizieren. Deren Hauptkomponenten, genannt Balansine, aktivieren spezifisch den humanen Süßrezeptor. Chimäre Rezeptoren zeigten, dass die amino-terminalen Domänen der Süßrezeptoruntereinheiten, welche ein Großteil der Liganden des Süßrezeptors binden, für dessen Aktivierung durch Balansin A nicht notwendig sind.
Voraussetzung für die Anwendung zellbasierter Testsysteme zum Auffinden neuer Süßstoffe ist jedoch, dass süße Substanzen gesichert identifiziert werden, während nicht süße Substanzen zuverlässig keine Rezeptoraktivierung aufweisen. Während in HEK293 TAS1R2 TAS1R3To Galpha15i3-Zellen Süßrezeptoraktivierung gegenüber nicht süß schmeckenden Substanzen beobachtet wurde, konnte mit den HEK293PEAKrapid Galpha15-Zellen ein zuverlässiges Testsystem identifiziert, welches den Süßgeschmack der untersuchten Substanzen widerspiegelte.
Es fanden sich keine Hinweise, dass akzessorische Proteine oder verwandte Rezeptoren des Süßrezeptors das unterschiedliche Verhalten der Zellen verursachen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Verwendung unterschiedlicher G-Proteine die Signalamplituden des Süßrezeptors beeinflusst, die Unterschiede zwischen den Zellsystemen jedoch nicht vollständig erklärt. Keine der untersuchten Galpha-Proteinchimären spiegelte die intrinsische Süße der Substanzen wider.
Wenn auch nicht ursächlich für die Diskrepanz zwischen Süßrezeptoraktivierung in vitro und Süßgeschmack in vivo, so weisen die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit auf eine Interaktion der Süßrezeptoruntereinheiten mit dem humanen Calcium-sensing Rezeptor hin. Vanillin und Ethylvanillin konnten als neue Agonisten des Calcium-sensing Rezeptors identifiziert werden.
Wie die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, können sich kleine Unterschiede im Zellhintergrund deutlich auf die Funktionsweise heterolog exprimierter Rezeptoren auswirken. Dies zeigt wie wichtig die Wahl der Zellen für solche Screeningsysteme ist.

When it comes to footnotes, Alexander von Humboldt was ahead of his times even though his references leave much to be desired by today’s academic standards. This article examines the footnotes of Humboldt’s Essai politique sur l‘île de Cuba (1826). While it is not always easy to decipher his sometimes cryptic references, the undertaking is worthwhile: Humboldt’s footnotes do not only reveal his vast networks of knowledge. They also provide glimpses of ongoing, contemporary disputes among different scholars that involve Humboldt’s writings. They also present Humboldt’s reactions to such disputes. Exploring Humboldt’s footnotes consequently allows the reader to access both Humboldt the scholar and Humboldt the human being.
Inventories of individually delineated landslides are a key to understanding landslide physics and mitigating their impact. They permit assessment of area–frequency distributions and landslide volumes, and testing of statistical correlations between landslides and physical parameters such as topographic gradient or seismic strong motion. Amalgamation, i.e. the mapping of several adjacent landslides as a single polygon, can lead to potentially severe distortion of the statistics of these inventories. This problem can be especially severe in data sets produced by automated mapping. We present five inventories of earthquake-induced landslides mapped with different materials and techniques and affected by varying degrees of amalgamation. Errors on the total landslide volume and power-law exponent of the area–frequency distribution, resulting from amalgamation, may be up to 200 and 50%, respectively. We present an algorithm based on image and digital elevation model (DEM) analysis, for automatic identification of amalgamated polygons. On a set of about 2000 polygons larger than 1000 m2, tracing landslides triggered by the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the algorithm performs well, with only 2.7–3.6% incorrectly amalgamated landslides missed and 3.9–4.8% correct polygons incorrectly identified as amalgams. This algorithm can be used broadly to check landslide inventories and allow faster correction by automating the identification of amalgamation.
Sentences with doubly center-embedded relative clauses in which a verb phrase (VP) is missing are sometimes perceived as grammatical, thus giving rise to an illusion of grammaticality. In this paper, we provide a new account of why missing-VP sentences, which are both complex and ungrammatical, lead to an illusion of grammaticality, the so-called missing-VP effect. We propose that the missing-VP effect in particular, and processing difficulties with multiply center-embedded clauses more generally, are best understood as resulting from interference during cue-based retrieval. When processing a sentence with double center-embedding, a retrieval error due to interference can cause the verb of an embedded clause to be erroneously attached into a higher clause. This can lead to an illusion of grammaticality in the case of missing-VP sentences and to processing complexity in the case of complete sentences with double center-embedding. Evidence for an interference account of the missing-VP effect comes from experiments that have investigated the missing-VP effect in German using a speeded grammaticality judgments procedure. We review this evidence and then present two new experiments that show that the missing-VP effect can be found in German also with less restricting procedures. One experiment was a questionnaire study which required grammaticality judgments from participants without imposing any time constraints. The second experiment used a self-paced reading procedure and did not require any judgments. Both experiments confirm the prior findings of missing-VP effects in German and also show that the missing-VP effect is subject to a primacy effect as known from the memory literature. Based on this evidence, we argue that an account of missing-VP effects in terms of interference during cue-based retrieval is superior to accounts in terms of limited memory resources or in terms of experience with embedded structures.
New V-shaped non-centrosymmetric dyes, possessing a strongly electron-deficient azacyanine core, have been synthesized based on a straightforward two-step approach. The key step in this synthesis involves palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of dibromo-N,N′-methylene-2,2′-azapyridinocyanines with arylacetylenes. The resulting strongly polarized π-expanded heterocycles exhibit green to orange fluorescence and they strongly respond to changes in solvent polarity. We demonstrate that differently electron-donating peripheral groups have a significant influence on the internal charge transfer, hence on the solvent effect and fluorescence quantum yield. TD-DFT calculations confirm that, in contrast to the previously studied bis(styryl)azacyanines, the proximity of S1 and T2 states calculated for compounds bearing two 4-N,N-dimethylaminophenylethynyl moieties establishes good conditions for efficient intersystem crossing and is responsible for its low fluorescence quantum yield. Non-linear properties have also been determined for new azacyanines and the results show that depending on peripheral groups, the synthesized dyes exhibit small to large two-photon absorption cross sections reaching 4000 GM.
In a recent BAMS article, it is argued that community-based Open Source Software (OSS) could foster scientific progress in weather radar research, and make weather radar software more affordable, flexible, transparent, sustainable, and interoperable.
Nevertheless, it can be challenging for potential developers and users to realize these benefits: tools are often cumbersome to install; different operating systems may have particular issues, or may not be supported at all; and many tools have steep learning curves.
To overcome some of these barriers, we present an open, community-based virtual machine (VM). This VM can be run on any operating system, and guarantees reproducibility of results across platforms. It contains a suite of independent OSS weather radar tools (BALTRAD, Py-ART, wradlib, RSL, and Radx), and a scientific Python stack. Furthermore, it features a suite of recipes that work out of the box and provide guidance on how to use the different OSS tools alone and together. The code to build the VM from source is hosted on GitHub, which allows the VM to grow with its community.
We argue that the VM presents another step toward Open (Weather Radar) Science. It can be used as a quick way to get started, for teaching, or for benchmarking and combining different tools. It can foster the idea of reproducible research in scientific publishing. Being scalable and extendable, it might even allow for real-time data processing.
We expect the VM to catalyze progress toward interoperability, and to lower the barrier for new users and developers, thus extending the weather radar community and user base.
Analphabetismus und Teilhabe
(2015)
Aus bildungstheoretisch-gesellschaftskritischer Perspektive stellt sich Lernen als soziales Handeln in gesellschaftlich-vermittelten Verhältnissen – Möglichkeiten wie auch Begrenzungen – dar. Funktionaler Analphabetismus ist mit einem bundesweiten Anteil von 14% der erwerbsfähigen Bevölkerung oder 7,5 Millionen Analphabeten in Deutschland nicht nur ein bildungspolitisches und -praktisches, sondern auch ein wissenschaftlich zu untersuchendes Phänomen. Es gibt zahlreiche Untersuchungen, die sich mit dieser Thematik auseinandersetzen und Anknüpfungspunkte für die vorliegende Studie bieten. Aus der Zielgruppenforschung beispielsweise ist bekannt, dass die Hauptadressaten der Männer, der Älteren und der Bildungsfernen nicht adäquat erreicht bzw. als Teilnehmende gewonnen werden.

Warum Analphabeten im Erwachsenenalter, also nach der Aneignung vielfältigster Bewältigungsstrategien, durch das sich das Phänomen einer direkten Sichtbarkeit entzieht, dennoch beginnen das Lesen und Schreiben (wieder) zu lernen, wird bislang weder bildungs- noch lerntheoretisch untersucht. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erwachsenenbildungsstudie werden genau diese Lernanlässe empirisch herausgearbeitet.
Als Heuristik wird auf eine subjekttheoretische Theoriefolie rekurriert, die sich in besonderer Weise eignet Lernbegründungen im Kontext gesellschaftlich verhafteter Biografien sichtbar zu machen. Lernforschung im Begründungsmodell muss dabei auf eine Methodik zurückgreifen, die die Perspektive des Subjekts, Bedeutungszusammenhänge und typische Sinnstrukturen hervorbringen kann. Daher wird ein auf Einzelfallstudien basierendes, qualitatives Forschungsdesign gewählt, das Daten aus der Erhebung mittels problemzentrierter Interviews bereitstellt, die eine Auswertung innerhalb der Forschungsstrategie der Grounded Theory erfahren und in einer empirisch begründeten Typenbildung münden. Dieses Design ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion typischer Lernanlässe und im Ergebnis die Entwicklung einer gegenstandsbezogene Theorie mittlerer Reichweite.
Aus der vorliegenden Bedeutungs-Begründungsanalyse konnten empirisch fünf Lernbegründungstypen ausdifferenziert werden, die sich im Spannungsverhältnis von Teilhabeausrichtung und Widersprüchlichkeit bewegen und in ihrer Komplexität mittels der drei Schlüsselkategorien Bedeutungsraum, Reflexion der sozialen Eingebundenheit und Kompetenzen sowie Lernen bzw. dem Erleben der Diskrepanzerfahrung zwischen Lesen-Wollen und Lesen-Können dargestellt werden. Das Spektrum der Lernbegründungstypen reicht von teilhabesicherndem resignierten Lernen, bei dem die Sicherung des bedrohten Status quo im Vordergrund steht und die Welt als nicht gestaltbar erlebt wird, bis hin zu vielschichtigem teilhabeerweiternden Lernen, das auf die Erweiterung der eigenen Handlungsmöglichkeiten zielt und die umfangreichste Reflexion der sozialen Eingebundenheit und Kompetenzen aufweist. Funktionale Analphabeten begründen ihr Lernen und Nicht-Lernen vor dem Hintergrund ihrer sozialen Situation, ihrer Begrenzungen und Möglichkeiten: Schriftsprachlernen erhält erst im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe und dessen Reflexion eine Bedeutung.
Mit der Einordnung der Lernbegründungen funktionaler Analphabeten in: erstens, Diskurse der Bildungsbenachteiligung durch Exklusionsprozesse; zweitens, die lerntheoretische Bedeutung von Inklusionsprozessen und drittens, den internationalen Theorieansatz transformativen Lernens durch die Integration der Reflexionskategorie, erfolgt eine Erweiterung bildungs- und lerntheoretischer Ansätze. In dieser Arbeit werden Alphabetisierungs- und Erwachsenen-bildungsforschung verbunden und in den jeweiligen Diskurs integriert. Weitere Anschluss- und Verwertungsmöglichkeiten in der Bildungsforschung wären denkbar. Die Untersuchung von Lernbegründungen im Längsschnitt beispielsweise kann Transformationsprozesse rekonstruierbar machen und somit Erträge für eine Bildungsprozessforschung liefern. Bildungspraktisch können die Lernbegründungstypen einerseits der Teilnehmergewinnung dienen, andererseits Ausgangspunkt für reflexive Lernbegleitungskonzepte sein, die Lernbegründungen zur Sprache bringen und die soziale Eingebundenheit thematisieren und damit Lernprozesse unterstützen.
NaYF4:Yb:Er nanoparticles (UCNP) were synthesized under mild experimental conditions to obtain a pure cubic lattice. Upon annealing at different temperatures up to Tan = 700 °C phase transitions to the hexagonal phase and back to the cubic phase were induced. The UCNP materials obtained for different Tan were characterized with respect to the lattice phase using standard XRD and Raman spectroscopy as well as steady state and time resolved upconversion luminescence. The standard techniques showed that for the annealing temperature range 300 °C < Tan < 600 °C the hexagonal lattice phase was dominant. For Tan < 300 °C hardly any change in the lattice phase could be deduced, whereas for Tan > 600 °C a back transfer to the α-phase was observed. Complementarily, the luminescence upconversion properties of the annealed UCNP materials were characterized in steady state and time resolved luminescence measurements. Distinct differences in the upconversion luminescence intensity, the spectral intensity distribution and the luminescence decay kinetics were found for the cubic and hexagonal lattice phases, respectively, corroborating the results of the standard analytical techniques used. In laser power dependent measurements of the upconversion luminescence intensity it was found that the green (G1, G2) and red (R) emission of Er3+ showed different effects of Tan on the number of required photons reflecting the differences in the population routes of different energy levels involved. Furthermore, the intensity ratio of Gfull/R is highly effected by the laser power only when the β-phase is present, whereas the G1/G2 intensity ratio is only slightly effected regardless of the crystal phase. Moreover, based on different upconversion luminescence kinetics characteristics of the cubic and hexagonal phase time-resolved area normalized emission spectra (TRANES) proved to be a very sensitive tool to monitor the phase transition between cubic and hexagonal phases. Based on the TRANES analysis it was possible to resolve the lattice phase transition in more detail for 200 °C < Tan < 300 °C, which was not possible with the standard techniques.
Analysis and modeling of transient earthquake patterns and their dependence on local stress regimes
(2015)
Investigations in the field of earthquake triggering and associated interactions, which includes aftershock triggering as well as induced seismicity, is important for seismic hazard assessment due to earthquakes destructive power. One of the approaches to study earthquake triggering and their interactions is the use of statistical earthquake models, which are based on knowledge of the basic seismicity properties, in particular, the magnitude distribution and spatiotemporal properties of the triggered events.
In my PhD thesis I focus on some specific aspects of aftershock properties, namely, the relative seismic moment release of the aftershocks with respect to the mainshocks; the spatial correlation between aftershock occurrence and fault deformation; and on the influence of aseismic transients on the aftershock parameter estimation. For the analysis of aftershock sequences I choose a statistical approach, in particular, the well known Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model, which accounts for the input of background and triggered seismicity. For my specific purposes, I develop two ETAS model modifications in collaboration with Sebastian Hainzl. By means of this approach, I estimate the statistical aftershock parameters and performed simulations of aftershock sequences as well.
In the case of seismic moment release of aftershocks, I focus on the ratio of cumulative seismic moment release with respect to the mainshocks. Specifically, I investigate the ratio with respect to the focal mechanism of the mainshock and estimate an effective magnitude, which represents the cumulative aftershock energy (similar to Bath's law, which defines the average difference between mainshock and the largest aftershock magnitudes). Furthermore, I compare the observed seismic moment ratios with the results of the ETAS simulations. In particular, I test a restricted ETAS (RETAS) model which is based on results of a clock advanced model and static stress triggering.
To analyze spatial variations of triggering parameters I focus in my second approach on the aftershock occurrence triggered by large mainshocks and the study of the aftershock parameter distribution and their spatial correlation with the coseismic/postseismic slip and interseismic locking. To invert the aftershock parameters I improve the modified ETAS (m-ETAS) model, which is able to take the extension of the mainshock rupture into account. I compare the results obtained by the classical approach with the output of the m-ETAS model.
My third approach is concerned with the temporal clustering of seismicity, which might not only be related to earthquake-earthquake interactions, but also to a time-dependent background rate, potentially biasing the parameter estimations. Thus, my coauthors and I also applied a modification of the ETAS model, which is able to take into account time-dependent background activity. It can be applicable for two different cases: when an aftershock catalog has a temporal incompleteness or when the background seismicity rate changes with time, due to presence of aseismic forces.
An essential part of any research is the testing of the developed models using observational data sets, which are appropriate for the particular study case. Therefore, in the case of seismic moment release I use the global seismicity catalog. For the spatial distribution of triggering parameters I exploit two aftershock sequences of the Mw8.8 2010 Maule (Chile) and Mw 9.0 2011 Tohoku (Japan) mainshocks. In addition, I use published geodetic slip models of different authors. To test our ability to detect aseismic transients my coauthors and I use the data sets from Western Bohemia (Central Europe) and California.
Our results indicate that:
(1) the seismic moment of aftershocks with respect to mainshocks depends on the static stress changes and is maximal for the normal, intermediate for thrust and minimal for strike-slip stress regimes, where the RETAS model shows a good correspondence with the results;
(2) The spatial distribution of aftershock parameters, obtained by the m-ETAS model, shows anomalous values in areas of reactivated crustal fault systems. In addition, the aftershock density is found to be correlated with coseismic slip gradient, afterslip, interseismic coupling and b-values. Aftershock seismic moment is positively correlated with the areas of maximum coseismic slip and interseismically locked areas. These correlations might be related to the stress level or to material properties variations in space;
(3) Ignoring aseismic transient forcing or temporal catalog incompleteness can lead to the significant under- or overestimation of the underlying trigger parameters. In the case when a catalog is complete, this method helps to identify aseismic sources.
Background
Body image distortion is highly prevalent among overweight individuals. Whilst there is evidence that body-dissatisfied women and those suffering from disordered eating show a negative attentional bias towards their own unattractive body parts and others’ attractive body parts, little is known about visual attention patterns in the area of obesity and with respect to males. Since eating disorders and obesity share common features in terms of distorted body image and body dissatisfaction, the aim of this study was to examine whether overweight men and women show a similar attentional bias.
Methods/Design
We analyzed eye movements in 30 overweight individuals (18 females) and 28 normalweight individuals (16 females) with respect to the participants’ own pictures as well as gender-
and BMI-matched control pictures (front and back view). Additionally, we assessed body image and disordered eating using validated questionnaires.
Discussion
The overweight sample rated their own body as less attractive and showed a more disturbed body image. Contrary to our assumptions, they focused significantly longer on attractive
compared to unattractive regions of both their own and the control body. For one’s own body, this was more pronounced for women. A higher weight status and more frequent body checking predicted attentional bias towards attractive body parts. We found that overweight adults exhibit an unexpected and stable pattern of selective attention, with a distinctive focus on their own attractive body regions despite higher levels of body dissatisfaction. This positive attentional bias may either be an indicator of a more pronounced pattern of attentional avoidance or a self-enhancing strategy. Further research is warranted to clarify these results.
Die Studieneingangsphase stellt für Studierende eine Schlüsselphase des tertiären Ausbildungsabschnitts dar. Fachwissenschaftliches Wissen wird praxisfern vermittelt und die Studierenden können die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Themenfeldern der verschiedenen Vorlesungen nicht erkennen. Zur Verbesserung der Situation wurde ein Workshop entwickelt, der die Verbindung der Programmierung und der Datenstrukturen vertieft. Dabei wird das Spiel Go-Moku1 als Android-App von den Studierenden selbständig entwickelt. Die Kombination aus Software (Java, Android-SDK) und Hardware (Tablet-Computer) für ein kleines realistisches Softwareprojekt stellt für die Studierenden eine neue Erfahrung dar.
Erstsemester-Studierende sind mit den Anforderungen des Lehr-/ Lernprozess einer Universität oder Fachhochschule noch nicht vertraut. Ihre Erwartungen orientieren sich vielmehr an ihrer bisherigen Lerngeschichte (Abitur, Fachabitur, o. ä.). Neben den fachlichen Anforderungen des ersten Semesters müssen die Studierenden also auch Veränderungen im Lehr-/Lernprozess erkennen und bewältigen. Es wird anhand einer Output-orientierten
informatischen Lehrveranstaltung aufgezeigt, dass sich aus deren strengen Anforderungen der Messbarkeit klare Kompetenzbeschreibungen ergeben, die besonders dem Orientierungsbedürfnis Erstsemester-Studierender entgegenkommen.
Are individual differences in reading speed related to extrafoveal visual acuity and crowding?
(2015)
Readers differ considerably in their speed of self-paced reading. One factor known to influence fixation durations in reading is the preprocessing of words in parafoveal vision. Here we investigated whether individual differences in reading speed or the amount of information extracted from upcoming words (the preview benefit) can be explained by basic differences in extrafoveal vision-i.e., the ability to recognize peripheral letters with or without the presence of flanking letters. Forty participants were given an adaptive test to determine their eccentricity thresholds for the identification of letters presented either in isolation (extrafoveal acuity) or flanked by other letters (crowded letter recognition). In a separate eye-tracking experiment, the same participants read lists of words from left to right, while the preview of the upcoming words was manipulated with the gaze-contingent moving window technique. Relationships between dependent measures were analyzed on the observational level and with linear mixed models. We obtained highly reliable estimates both for extrafoveal letter identification (acuity and crowding) and measures of reading speed (overall reading speed, size of preview benefit). Reading speed was higher in participants with larger uncrowded windows. However, the strength of this relationship was moderate and it was only observed if other sources of variance in reading speed (e.g., the occurrence of regressive saccades) were eliminated. Moreover, the size of the preview benefit-an important factor in normal reading-was larger in participants with better extrafoveal acuity. Together, these results indicate a significant albeit moderate contribution of extrafoveal vision to individual differences in reading speed.
Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre werden in Windhoektouristische Besichtigungstouren durch das ehemalige Township Katutura angeboten. Damit war der Städtetourismus in der namibischen Hauptstadt recht früh Teil eines Trends, der zu Beginn desselben Jahrzehnts – ausgehend vom Nachbarland Südafrika – einsetzte: die touristische Inwertsetzung städtischer Armutsviertel. Dieses häufig als „Slum- oder Armutstourismus“ bezeichnete Phänomen sorgt seit seiner Entstehung nicht nur für einiges mediales Aufsehen und eine öffentliche Empörung, sondern das Global Slumming wird in den letzten Jahren auch immer mehr zum Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Der Slumtourismus bietet den Anlass neu über das Verhältnis von Armut und Tourismus im weltgesellschaftlichen Kontext nachzudenken.
Diese Publikation ist das Ergebnis eines Studienprojekts des Instituts für Geographie der Universität Osnabrück. Sie ist die erste umfangreichere empirische Fallstudie zum Townshiptourismus in Namibia.
Lo pintoresco se puede definir como un sentimiento que invita al espectador de una escena particular a reproducirla en un cuadro, algo que permitió a los viajeros del siglo XIX transportar las imágenes como posesiones, especialmente a través de la publicación de un Atlas Pittoresque. Cada una de esas imágenes es un testimonio de los viajes y sus historias cruzadas. Este es el caso de la lámina III, Vista de la Plaza Mayor de México, que forma parte de la obra Vues des Cordillères et Monuments des Peuples Indigènes de l’Amérique, una imagen que ilustra las redes de intercambio que se sucedían entre artistas y científicos a través de los viajes y expediciones.
Arthur Ewert (1890-1959)
(2015)
Arthur Ewert (1890-1959) war in den zwanziger und frühen dreißiger Jahren ein wichtiger Funktionär der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands und der Kommunistischen Internationale.
Er wurde in der Familie eines armen Bauern in Ostpreußen geboren. Nach dem Abschluß der Schule ging er nach Berlin, um hier eine Lehre als Sattler zu absolvieren. Über die Berliner Arbeiterjugendbewegung fand er Kontakt zur Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands, deren Mitglied er 1908 wurde.
Im Mai 1914 emigrierte er gemeinsam mit seiner langjährigen Lebensgefährtin und späteren Ehefrau Elise Saborowski (1886-1939) nach Nordamerika, wo er sich sofort der sozialistischen Bewegung anschloß. Anfang 1919 gehörte er zu den Mitbegründern der ersten Kommunistischen Partei Kanadas.
Im Sommer 1919 kehrte er nach Deutschland zurück und wurde Mitglied der wenige Monate zuvor gegründeten KPD.
Auf dem Leipziger Parteitag der KPD im Februar 1923 wurde er in die zwanzigköpfige Zentrale seiner Partei gewählt und stieg damit in den engeren Führungszirkel auf.
Nach der gescheiterten »Deutschen Oktoberrevolution« im Herbst 1923 kämpfte er gemeinsam mit Ernst Meyer, Hugo Eberlein, Wilhelm Pieck und anderen um das Überleben der KPD, doch gelang es seiner Gruppe nicht, den Sieg der Linken und Ultralinken im parteiinternen Machtkampf zu verhindern. Ewert wurde politisch »kaltgestellt« und schied für mehr als ein Jahr aus der Parteiführung aus.
In dieser Zeit erfüllte er verschiedene Aufgaben für die Kommunistische Internationale. Bereits im Juni 1923 war er Berichterstatter zur Lage in der Norwegischen Arbeiterpartei gewesen, ab Ende 1924 war er Abgesandter bei der KP Großbritanniens. Im Sommer und Frühherbst 1927 hielt er sich mehrere Monate in den USA auf.
Im Sommer 1925 wurde er auf Veranlassung der Kommunistischen Internationale in die Führung der KPD zurückgeholt. Er trug wesentlich dazu bei, die Parteiführung unter Ernst Thälmann zu stabilisieren und sie – zumindest zeitweise – auf einen realpolitischen Kurs zu orientieren.
Mit dem erneuten »Links«-Schwenk der KPD ab Anfang 1928 wurde er als »Versöhnler« stigmatisiert und zunehmend zur Zielscheibe innerparteilicher Attacken. Der Versuch eines »Befreiungsschlages« unter Ausnutzung der sogenannten Wittorf-Affäre im Herbst 1928 scheiterte, bis zum Sommer 1929 wurde Arthur Ewert auf Drängen Stalins und mit ausdrücklicher Zustimmung Thälmanns aus allen Funktionen in der KPD entfernt.
Nach der Auflösung des Reichstags und dem damit verbundenen Verlust seines Reichstagsmandats im Juli 1930 schied Ewert endgültig aus der deutschen Parteiarbeit aus.
Ende 1930 wurde er zum Leiter des Südamerikanischen Büros der Kommunistischen Internationale in Montevideo, der Hauptstadt Uruguays, ernannt. Er trug damit Verantwortung für die unmittelbare Anleitung der Kommunistischen Parteien im sogenannten Südkegel Südamerikas. In diese Zeit fielen seine ersten Kontakte zu Luiz Carlos Prestes, dem legendären »Ritter der Hoffnung«, mit dem er ab Anfang 1935 in Brasilien zusammenarbeitete.
Von 1932 bis 1934 leitete Arthur Ewert das Büro der Kommunistischen Internationale in Shanghai und spielte dabei eine entscheidende Rolle zugunsten Mao Tse-tungs, dessen politisches Überleben er in einem innerparteilichen Machtkampf der KP Chinas sicherte.
Als Vertreter der Kommunistischen Internationale war Arthur Ewert im Verlaufe des Jahres 1935 an den Versuchen beteiligt, in Brasilien – gestützt auf ein breites Bündnis, die »Nationale Befreiungsallianz« - einen politischen Machtwechsel herbeizuführen. Nach dem Scheitern des von Prestes geführten Aufstandsversuches wurde er Ende 1935 verhaftet. Arthur Ewert verlor in Folge der barbarischen Folterungen in brasilianischer Haft den Verstand.
Er kam im Mai 1945 im Ergebnis einer Amnestie frei. 1947 gelang es seiner Schwester, ihn in die sowjetische Besatzungszone zurückzuholen. Die Ärzte dort konnten nur noch feststellen, daß eine Heilung unmöglich war. Arthur Ewert verbrachte den Rest seines Lebens in einem Pflegeheim in Eberswalde, wo er 1959 starb.
En este breve ensayo propongo que en la ascensión al Teide Alexander von Humboldt pudo adquirir una perspectiva integral, que le sirvió como marco de comunicación científica para aunar la multitud de datos que se había dispuesto a recoger en su breve estancia en la isla. Más aun, de ahí en adelante este marco además le serviría para darle sentido de conjunto a las incontables y diversas informaciones que recogería en los restantes cinco años de viaje. Para poner en evidencia el enfoque de la visita a Tenerife de Humboldt, analizo su relato de la ascensión al Teide suponiendo que está estructurado según los relatos de viajes épicos y peregrinaciones.

Although Boolean Constraint Technology has made tremendous progress over the last decade, the efficacy of state-of-the-art solvers is known to vary considerably across different types of problem instances, and is known to depend strongly on algorithm parameters. This problem was addressed by means of a simple, yet effective approach using handmade, uniform, and unordered schedules of multiple solvers in ppfolio, which showed very impressive performance in the 2011 Satisfiability Testing (SAT) Competition. Inspired by this, we take advantage of the modeling and solving capacities of Answer Set Programming (ASP) to automatically determine more refined, that is, nonuniform and ordered solver schedules from the existing benchmarking data. We begin by formulating the determination of such schedules as multi-criteria optimization problems and provide corresponding ASP encodings. The resulting encodings are easily customizable for different settings, and the computation of optimum schedules can mostly be done in the blink of an eye, even when dealing with large runtime data sets stemming from many solvers on hundreds to thousands of instances. Also, the fact that our approach can be customized easily enabled us to swiftly adapt it to generate parallel schedules for multi-processor machines.
An observational measure of anger regulation in middle childhood was developed that facilitated the in situ assessment of five maladaptive regulation strategies in response to an anger-eliciting task. 599 children aged 6-10 years (M = 8.12, SD = 0.92) participated in the study. Construct validity of the measure was examined through correlations with parent- and self-reports of anger regulation and anger reactivity. Criterion validity was established through links with teacher-rated aggression and social rejection measured by parent-, teacher-, and self-reports. The observational measure correlated significantly with parent- and self-reports of anger reactivity, whereas it was unrelated to parent- and self-reports of anger regulation. It also made a unique contribution to predicting aggression and social rejection.
In this paper we describe the recent state of our research
project concerning computer science teachers’ knowledge on students’
cognition. We did a comprehensive analysis of textbooks, curricula
and other resources, which give teachers guidance to formulate assignments.
In comparison to other subjects there are only a few concepts
and strategies taught to prospective computer science teachers in university.
We summarize them and given an overview on our empirical
approach to measure this knowledge.
Background
Previous literature mainly introduced cognitive functions to explain performance decrements in dual-task walking, i.e., changes in dual-task locomotion are attributed to limited cognitive information processing capacities. In this study, we enlarge existing literature and investigate whether leg muscular capacity plays an additional role in children’s dual-task walking performance.
Methods
To this end, we had prepubescent children (mean age: 8.7 ± 0.5 years, age range: 7–9 years) walk in single task (ST) and while concurrently conducting an arithmetic subtraction task (DT). Additionally, leg lean tissue mass was assessed.
Results
Findings show that both, boys and girls, significantly decrease their gait velocity (f = 0.73), stride length (f = 0.62) and cadence (f = 0.68) and increase the variability thereof (f = 0.20-0.63) during DT compared to ST. Furthermore, stepwise regressions indicate that leg lean tissue mass is closely associated with step time and the variability thereof during DT (R2 = 0.44, p = 0.009). These associations between gait measures and leg lean tissue mass could not be observed for ST (R2 = 0.17, p = 0.19).
Conclusion
We were able to show a potential link between leg muscular capacities and DT walking performance in children. We interpret these findings as evidence that higher leg muscle mass in children may mitigate the impact of a cognitive interference task on DT walking performance by inducing enhanced gait stability.
Así que als Diskursmarker
(2015)
The present paper discusses Spanish así que (‘so that’) as a discourse marker by means of data that are retrieved from the Corpus del Español. The synchronic study has both a quantitative and a qualitative side. From a quantitative perspective the use of así que as a discourse marker is compared with its use as a conjunction. It is shown that así que as a conjunction is far more frequent. The qualitative analysis focuses on the different procedural meanings of así que: it can be used to introduce a summary, a consequence or an inference, and, on behalf of the interlocutor, even a question. The study furthermore reveals that así que as a discourse marker can well be analysed in terms of adfunctionalization / capitalization, i.e. when an already existing means of expression becomes exploited for wider purposes. In this context, the notions of grammaticalization, lexicalization and pragmaticalization are also briefly discussed.
The results of streamflow trend studies are often characterized by mostly insignificant trends and inexplicable spatial patterns. In our study region, Western Austria, this applies especially for trends of annually averaged runoff. However, analysing the altitudinal aspect, we found that there is a trend gradient from higher-altitude to lower-altitude stations, i.e. a pattern of mostly positive annual trends at higher stations and negative ones at lower stations. At midaltitudes, the trends are mostly insignificant. Here we hypothesize that the streamflow trends are caused by the following two main processes: on the one hand, melting glaciers produce excess runoff at higher-altitude watersheds. On the other hand, rising temperatures potentially alter hydrological conditions in terms of less snowfall, higher infiltration, enhanced evapotranspiration, etc., which in turn results in decreasing streamflow trends at lower-altitude watersheds. However, these patterns are masked at mid-altitudes because the resulting positive and negative trends balance each other. To support these hypotheses, we attempted to attribute the detected trends to specific causes. For this purpose, we analysed trends of filtered daily streamflow data, as the causes for these changes might be restricted to a smaller temporal scale than the annual one. This allowed for the explicit determination of the exact days of year (DOYs) when certain streamflow trends emerge, which were then linked with the corresponding DOYs of the trends and characteristic dates of other observed variables, e.g. the average DOY when temperature crosses the freezing point in spring. Based on these analyses, an empirical statistical model was derived that was able to simulate daily streamflow trends sufficiently well. Analyses of subdaily streamflow changes provided additional insights. Finally, the present study supports many modelling approaches in the literature which found out that the main drivers of alpine streamflow changes are increased glacial melt, earlier snowmelt and lower snow accumulation in wintertime.

Babelsberg/RML
(2015)
New programming language designs are often evaluated on concrete implementations. However, in order to draw conclusions about the language design from the evaluation of concrete programming languages, these implementations need to be verified against the formalism of the design. To that end, we also have to ensure that the design actually meets its stated goals. A useful tool for the latter has been to create an executable semantics from a formalism that can execute a test suite of examples. However, this mechanism so far did not allow to verify an implementation against the design.
Babelsberg is a new design for a family of object-constraint languages. Recently, we have developed a formal semantics to clarify some issues in the design of those languages. Supplementing this work, we report here on how this formalism is turned into an executable operational semantics using the RML system. Furthermore, we show how we extended the executable semantics to create a framework that can generate test suites for the concrete Babelsberg implementations that provide traceability from the design to the language. Finally, we discuss how these test suites helped us find and correct mistakes in the Babelsberg implementation for JavaScript.
Catalytic amounts of a weak base are sufficient to induce the decomposition of anthracene endoperoxides to anthraquinone. The mechanism has been elucidated by isolation of intermediates in combination with DFT calculations. The whole process is suitable for the convenient generation of hydrogen peroxide under very mild conditions.
Der Na⁺-K⁺-2Cl⁻-Kotransporter (NKCC2) wird im distalen Nephron der Niere exprimiert. Seine Verteilung umfasst die Epithelien der medullären und kortikalen Teile der dicken aufsteigenden Henle-Schleife (Thick ascending limb, TAL) und die Macula densa. Resorptiver NaCl-Transport über den NKCC2 dient dem renalen Konzentrierungsmechanismus und reguliert systemisch auch Volumenstatus und Blutdruck. Die Aktivität des NKCC2 ist mit der Phosphorylierung seiner N-terminalen Aminosäurereste Serin 126 und Threonin 96/101 verbunden. Vermittelt wird diese durch die homologen Kinasen SPAK (SPS-related proline/alanine-rich kinase) und OSR1 (Oxidative stress responsive kinase 1), die hierzu ihrerseits phosphoryliert werden müssen. Der regulatorische Kontext dieser Kinasen ist mittlerweile gut charakterisiert. Über Mechanismen und Produkte, die den NKCC2 deaktivieren, war hingegen weniger bekannt. Ziel der Arbeit war daher zu untersuchen, welche Wege zur Deaktivierung des Transporters führen. Der intrazelluläre Sortierungsrezeptor SORLA (Sorting-protein-related receptor with A-type repeats) war zuvor in seiner Bedeutung für das Nephron charakterisiert worden. Ein SORLA-defizientes Mausmodell weist unter anderem eine stark verringerte NKCC2-Phosphorylierung auf. Unter osmotischem Stress können SORLA-defiziente Mäuse ihren Urin weniger effizient konzentrieren. Meine Resultate zeigen mit hochauflösender Technik, dass SORLA apikal im TAL lokalisiert ist und dass mit NKCC2 eine anteilige Kolokalisation besteht. Unter SORLA Defizienz war die für die NKCC2 Aktivität maßgebliche SPAK/OSR1-Phosphorylierung gegenüber dem Wildtyp nicht verändert. Jedoch war die ebenfalls im TAL exprimierte Phosphatase Calcineurin Aβ (CnAβ) per Western blot um das zweifache gesteigert. Parallel hierzu wurde immunhistochemisch die Kolokalisation von verstärktem CnAβ-Signal und NKCC2 bestätigt. Beide Befunde geben zusammen den Hinweis auf einen Bezug zwischen der reduzierten NKCC2-Phosphorylierung und der gesteigerten Präsenz von CnAβ bei SORLA Defizienz. Die parallel induzierte Überexpression von SORLA in HEK-Zellen zeigte entsprechend eine Halbierung der CnAβ Proteinmenge. SORLA steuert demzufolge sowohl die Abundanz als auch die zelluläre Verteilung der Phosphatase. Weiterhin ließ sich die Interaktion zwischen CnAβ und SORLA (intrazelluläre Domäne) mittels Co-Immunpräzipitation bzw. GST-pulldown assay nachweisen. Auch die Interaktion zwischen CnAβ und NKCC2 wurde auf diesem Weg belegt. Da allerdings weder SORLA noch NKCC2 ein spezifisches Bindungsmuster für CnAβ aufweisen, sind vermutlich intermediäre Adapterproteine bei ihrer Bindung involviert. Die pharmakologische Inhibition von CnAβ mittels Cyclosporin A (CsA; 1 h) führte bei SORLA Defizienz zur Normalisierung der NKCC2-Phosphorylierung. Entsprechend führte in vitro die Gabe von CsA bei TAL Zellen zu einer 7-fach gesteigerten NKCC2-Phosphorylierung. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Phosphatase CnAβ über ihre Assoziation mit NKCC2 diesen im adluminalen Zellkompartiment deaktivieren kann. Gesteuert wird dieser Vorgang durch die Eigenschaft von SORLA, CnAβ apikal zu reduzieren und damit die adluminale Phosphorylierung und Aktivität von NKCC2 zu unterstützen. Da Calcineurin-Inhibitoren derzeit die Grundlage der immunsupprimierenden Therapie darstellen, haben die Ergebnisse eine klinische Relevanz. Angesichts der Co-Expression von SORLA und CnAβ in verschiedenen anderen Organen können die Ergebnisse auch über die Niere hinaus Bedeutung erlangen.
The transmission of wildlife zoonoses to humans depends, amongst others, on complex interactions of host population ecology and pathogen dynamics within host populations. In Europe, the Puumala virus (PUUV) causes nephropathia epidemica in humans. In this study we investigated complex interrelations within the epidemic system of PUUV and its rodent host, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). We suggest that beech fructification and bank vole abundance are both decisive factors affecting human PUUV infections. While rodent host dynamics are expected to be directly linked to human PUUV infections, beech fructification is a rather indirect predictor by serving as food source for PUUV rodent hosts. Furthermore, we examined the dependence of bank vole abundance on beech fructification. We analysed a 12-year (2001-2012) time series of the parameters: beech fructification (as food resource for the PUUV host), bank vole abundance and human incidences from 7 Federal States of Germany. For the first time, we could show the direct interrelation between these three parameters involved in human PUUV epidemics and we were able to demonstrate on a large scale that human PUUV infections are highly correlated with bank vole abundance in the present year, as well as beech fructification in the previous year. By using beech fructification and bank vole abundance as predictors in one model we significantly improved the degree of explanation of human PUUV incidence. Federal State was included as random factor because human PUUV incidence varies considerably among states. Surprisingly, the effect of rodent abundance on human PUUV infections is less strong compared to the indirect effect of beech fructification. Our findings are useful to facilitate the development of predictive models for host population dynamics and the related PUUV infection risk for humans and can be used for plant protection and human health protection purposes.

Die Amerikanischen Reisetagebücher stellen eine Herausforderung für die Erforschung historischer Epistemologie dar. Der vorliegende Aufsatz will ausgehend vom Scheitern einer eindeutigen gattungsgeschichtlichen Zuschreibung die Sonderstellung der Bände als Instrumente der Erfahrung herausarbeiten, welche an der Schwelle zum 19. Jh. den ontologischen Optimismus sowie das methodische Tasten eines Wissenschaftlers, Schriftstellers und Forschungsreisenden in subjektbezogener Form zugänglich machen. Gerade der multifunktionale Charakter der ‚Journale‘ als Log- bzw. Reisetagebücher und Skizzenhefte, die noch weit entfernt von der Ordnung wissenschaftlichen Schreibens scheinen, lassen jene Voraussetzungen wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisprozesse sichtbar werden, mithilfe derer Humboldt innerhalb der kantschen Koordinaten Raum und Zeit einen ‚Rhythmus‘ situativ verarbeiteter Natur- und Welterfahrung in ein dynamisches Speichermedium einfließen lässt.
Extract: Topics in psycholinguistics and the neurocognition of language rarely attract the attention of journalists or the general public. One topic that has done so, however, is the potential benefits of bilingualism for general cognitive functioning and development, and as a precaution against cognitive decline in old age. Sensational claims have been made in the public domain, mostly by journalists and politicians. Recently (September 4, 2014) The Guardian reported that “learning a foreign language can increase the size of your brain”, and Michael Gove, the UK's previous Education Secretary, noted in an interview with The Guardian (September 30, 2011) that “learning languages makes you smarter”. The present issue of BLC addresses these topics by providing a state-of-the-art overview of theoretical and experimental research on the role of bilingualism for cognition in children and adults.
Die Honigbiene Apis mellifera zeigt innerhalb einer Kolonie eine an das Alter gekoppelte Arbeitsteilung. Junge Honigbienen versorgen die Brut (Ammenbienen), während ältere Honigbienen (Sammlerinnen) außerhalb des Stocks Pollen und Nektar eintragen. Die biogenen Amine Octopamin und Tyramin sind an der Steuerung der Arbeitsteilung maßgeblich beteiligt. Sie interagieren mit Zielzellen über die Bindung an G Protein gekoppelte Rezeptoren. A. mellifera besitzt fünf charakterisierte Octopaminrezeptoren (AmOctαR1, AmOctβR1-4), einen charakterisierten Tyraminrezeptor (AmTyr1) sowie einen weiteren putativen Tyraminrezeptor.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde dieser putative Aminrezeptor als zweiter Tyraminrezeptor (AmTyr2) identifiziert, lokalisiert und pharmakologisch charakterisiert.
Die von der cDNA abgeleitete Aminosäuresequenz weist strukturelle Eigenschaften und konservierte Motive von G Protein gekoppelten Rezeptoren auf. Phylogenetisch ordnet sich der AmTyr2 Rezeptor bei den Tyramin 2 Rezeptoren anderer Insekten ein. Die funktionelle und pharmakologische Charakterisierung des putativen Tyraminrezeptors erfolgte in modifizierten HEK293 Zellen, die mit der Rezeptor cDNA transfiziert wurden. Die Applikation von Tyramin aktiviert Adenylylcyclasen in diesen Zellen und resultiert in einem Anstieg des intrazellulären cAMP Gehalts. Der AmTyr2 Rezeptor kann durch Tyramin in nanomolaren Konzentrationen halbmaximal aktiviert werden. Während es sich bei Octopamin um einen wirkungsvollen Agonisten des Rezeptors handelt, sind Mianserin und Yohimbin effektive Antagonisten. Für die Lokalisierung des Rezeptorproteins wurde ein polyklonaler Antikörper generiert. Eine AmTyr2-ähnliche Immunreaktivität zeigt sich im Gehirn in den optischen Loben, den Antennalloben, dem Zentralkomplex und in den Kenyon Zellen der Pilzkörper.
Des Weiteren wurde die Rolle der Octopamin- und Tyraminrezeptoren bei der Steuerung der altersabhängigen Arbeitsteilung analysiert.
Die Genexpression des AmOctαR1 in verschiedenen Gehirnteilen korreliert unabhängig vom Alter mit der sozialen Rolle, während sich die Genexpression von AmOctβR3/4 und den Tyraminrezeptoren AmTyr1 und AmTyr2 maximal mit dem Alter aber nicht der sozialen Rolle ändert. Sammlerinnen weisen einen höheren Octopamingehalt im Gesamtgehirn auf als Ammenbienen; bei Tyramin zeigen sich keine Unterschiede. Während Tyramin offensichtlich keine direkte Rolle spielt, werden durch Octopamin gesteuerte Prozesse der altersabhängigen Arbeitsteilung bei der Honigbiene vermutlich über den AmOctαR1 vermittelt.
Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit zeigen die wichtige Rolle von biogenen Aminen, insbesondere Octopamin bei der sozialen Organisation von Insektenstaaten.
The cell surface of cyanobacteria is covered with glycans that confer versatility and adaptability to a multitude of environmental factors. The complex carbohydrates act as barriers against different types of stress and play a role in intra- as well as inter-species interactions. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the chemical composition, biosynthesis and biological function of exo- and lipo-polysaccharides from cyanobacteria and give an overview of sugar-binding lectins characterized from cyanobacteria. We discuss similarities with well-studied enterobacterial systems and highlight the unique features of cyanobacteria. We pay special attention to colony formation and EPS biosynthesis in the bloom-forming cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa.
Double cyclization of short linear peptides obtained by solid phase peptide synthesis was used to prepare bridged bicyclic peptides (BBPs) corresponding to the topology of bridged bicyclic alkanes such as norbornane. Diastereomeric norbornapeptides were investigated by 1H-NMR, X-ray crystallography and CD spectroscopy and found to represent rigid globular scaffolds stabilized by intramolecular backbone hydrogen bonds with scaffold geometries determined by the chirality of amino acid residues and sharing structural features of β-turns and α-helices. Proteome profiling by capture compound mass spectrometry (CCMS) led to the discovery of the norbornapeptide 27c binding selectively to calmodulin as an example of a BBP protein binder. This and other BBPs showed high stability towards proteolytic degradation in serum.

Accelerating climate change and increased economic and environmental interests in permafrost-affected regions have resulted in an acute need for more directed permafrost research. In June 2014, 88 early career researchers convened to identify future priorities for permafrost research. This multidisciplinary forum concluded that five research topics deserve greatest attention: permafrost landscape dynamics, permafrost thermal modeling, integration of traditional knowledge, spatial distribution of ground ice, and engineering issues. These topics underline the need for integrated research across a spectrum of permafrost-related domains and constitute a contribution to the Third International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP III).

Competencies related to operating systems and computer
security are usually taught systematically. In this paper we present
a different approach, in which students have to remove virus-like
behaviour on their respective computers, which has been induced by
software developed for this purpose. They have to develop appropriate
problem-solving strategies and thereby explore essential elements of
the operating system. The approach was implemented exemplarily in
two computer science courses at a regional general upper secondary
school and showed great motivation and interest in the participating
students.
Faunal remains from Palaeolithic sites are important genetic sources to study preglacial and postglacial populations and to investigate the effect of climate change and human impact. Post mortem decay, resulting in fragmented and chemically modified DNA, is a key obstacle in ancient DNA analyses. In the absence of reliable methods to determine the presence of endogenous DNA in sub-fossil samples, temporal and spatial surveys of DNA survival on a regional scale may help to estimate the potential of faunal remains from a given time period and region. We therefore investigated PCR amplification success, PCR performance and post mortem damage in c. 47,000 to c. 12,000-year-old horse remains from 14 Palaeolithic sites along the Swiss Jura Mountains in relation to depositional context, tissue type, storage time and age, potentially influencing DNA preservation. The targeted 75 base pair mitochondrial DNA fragment could be amplified solely from equid remains from caves and not from any of the open dry and (temporary) wetland sites. Whether teeth are better than bones cannot be ultimately decided; however, both storage time after excavation and age significantly affect PCR amplification and performance, albeit not in a linear way. This is best explained by the—inevitable—heterogeneity of the data set. The extent of post mortem damage is not related to any of the potential impact factors. The results encourage comprehensive investigations of Palaeolithic cave sites, even from temperate regions.
Business Process Management has become an integral part of modern organizations in the private and public sector for improving their operations. In the course of Business Process Management efforts, companies and organizations assemble large process model repositories with many hundreds and thousands of business process models bearing a large amount of information. With the advent of large business process model collections, new challenges arise as structuring and managing a large amount of process models, their maintenance, and their quality assurance.
This is covered by business process architectures that have been introduced for organizing and structuring business process model collections. A variety of business process architecture approaches have been proposed that align business processes along aspects of interest, e. g., goals, functions, or objects. They provide a high level categorization of single processes ignoring their interdependencies, thus hiding valuable information. The production of goods or the delivery of services are often realized by a complex system of interdependent business processes. Hence, taking a holistic view at business processes interdependencies becomes a major necessity to organize, analyze, and assess the impact of their re-/design. Visualizing business processes interdependencies reveals hidden and implicit information from a process model collection.
In this thesis, we present a novel Business Process Architecture approach for representing and analyzing business process interdependencies on an abstract level. We propose a formal definition of our Business Process Architecture approach, design correctness criteria, and develop analysis techniques for assessing their quality. We describe a methodology for applying our Business Process Architecture approach top-down and bottom-up. This includes techniques for Business Process Architecture extraction from, and decomposition to process models while considering consistency issues between business process architecture and process model level. Using our extraction algorithm, we present a novel technique to identify and visualize data interdependencies in Business Process Data Architectures. Our Business Process Architecture approach provides business process experts,managers, and other users of a process model collection with an overview that allows reasoning about a large set of process models,
understanding, and analyzing their interdependencies in a facilitated way. In this regard we evaluated our Business Process Architecture approach in an experiment and provide implementations of selected techniques.
Direct assessment of attitudes toward socially sensitive topics can be affected by deception attempts. Reaction-time based indirect measures, such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT), are less susceptible to such biases. Neuroscientific evidence shows that deception can evoke characteristic ERP differences. However, the cerebral processes involved in faking an IAT are still unknown. We randomly assigned 20 university students (15 females, 24.65 +/- 3.50 years of age) to a counterbalanced repeated-measurements design, requesting them to complete a Brief-IAT (BIAT) on attitudes toward doping without deception instruction, and with the instruction to fake positive and negative doping attitudes. Cerebral activity during BIAT completion was assessed using high-density EEG. Event-related potentials during faking revealed enhanced frontal and reduced occipital negativity, starting around 150 ms after stimulus presentation. Further, a decrease in the P300 and LPP components was observed. Source analyses showed enhanced activity in the right inferior frontal gyrus between 150 and 200 ms during faking, thought to reflect the suppression of automatic responses. Further, more activity was found for faking in the bilateral middle occipital gyri and the bilateral temporoparietal junction. Results indicate that faking reaction-time based tests alter brain processes from early stages of processing and reveal the cortical sources of the effects. Analyzing the EEG helps to uncover response patterns in indirect attitude tests and broadens our understanding of the neural processes involved in such faking. This knowledge might be useful for uncovering faking in socially sensitive contexts, where attitudes are likely to be concealed.
Die Interaktionen von komplexen Kohlenhydraten und Proteinen sind ubiquitär. Sie spielen wichtige Rollen in vielen physiologischen Prozessen wie Zelladhäsion, Signaltransduktion sowie bei viralen Infektionen. Die molekularen Grundlagen der Interaktion sind noch nicht komplett verstanden. Ein Modellsystem für Kohlenhydrat-Protein-Interaktionen besteht aus Adhäsionsproteinen (Tailspikes) von Bakteriophagen, die komplexe Kohlenhydrate auf bakteriellen Oberflächen (O-Antigen) erkennen. Das Tailspike-Protein (TSP), das in dieser Arbeit betrachtet wurde, stammt aus dem Bakteriophagen 9NA (9NATSP). 9NATSP weist eine hohe strukturelle Homologie zum gut charakterisierten TSP des Phagen P22 (P22TSP) auf, bei einer niedriger sequenzieller Ähnlichkeit. Die Substratspezifitäten beider Tailspikes sind ähnlich mit Ausnahme der Toleranz gegenüber den glucosylierten Formen des O-Antigens. Die Struktur der beiden Tailspikes ist bekannt, sodass sie ein geeignetes System für vergleichende Bindungsstudien darstellen, um die strukturellen Grundlagen für die Unterschiede der Spezifität zu untersuchen.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde der ELISA-like tailspike adsorption assay (ELITA) etabliert, um Binderpaare aus TSPs und O-Antigen zu identifizieren. Dabei wurden 9NATSP und P22TSP als Sonden eingesetzt, deren Bindung an die intakten, an die Mikrotiterplatte adsorbierten Bakterien getestet wurde. Beim Test einer Sammlung aus 44 Salmonella-Stämmen wurden Stämme identifiziert, die bindendes O-Antigen exprimieren. Gleichzeitig wurden Unterschiede in der Bindung der beiden TSPs an Salmonella-Stämme mit gleichem O-Serotyp beobachtet. Die Ergebnisse der ELITA-Messung wurden qualitativ durch eine FACS-basierte Bindungsmessung bestätigt. Zusätzlich ermöglichte die FACS-Messung bei Stämmen, die teilweise modifizierte O-Antigene herstellen, den Anteil an Zellen mit und ohne Modifikation zu erfassen.
Die Oberflächenplasmonresonanz (SPR)-basierten Interaktionsmessungen wurden eingesetzt, um Bindungsaffinitäten für eine TSP-O-Antigen Kombination zu quantifizieren. Dafür wurden zwei Methoden getestet, um die Oligosaccharide auf einem SPR-Chip zu immobilisieren. Zum einen wurden die enzymatisch hergestellten O-Antigenfragmente mit einem bifunktionalen Oxaminadapter derivatisiert, der eine primäre Aminogruppe für die Immobilisierung bereitstellt. Ein Versuch, diese Oligosaccharidfragmente zu immobilisieren, war jedoch nicht erfolgreich. Dagegen wurde das nicht derivatisierte Polysaccharid, bestehend aus repetitivem O-Antigen und einem konservierten Kernsaccharid, erfolgreich auf einem SPR-Chip immobilisiert. Die Immobilisierung wurde durch Interaktionsmessungen mit P22TSP bestätigt. Durch die Immobilisierung des Polysaccharids sind somit quantitative SPR-Bindungsmessungen mit einem polydispersen Interaktionspartner möglich.
Eine Auswahl von Salmonella-Stämmen mit einer ausgeprägt unterschiedlichen Bindung von 9NATSP und P22TSP im ELITA-Testsystem wurde hinsichtlich der Zusammensetzung des O-Antigens mittels HPLC, Kapillargelelektrophorese und MALDI-MS analysiert. Dabei wurden nicht-stöchiometrische Modifikationen der O-Antigene wie Acetylierung und Glucosylierung detektiert. Das Ausmaß der Glucosylierung korrelierte negativ mit der Effizienz der Bindung und des Verdaus durch die beiden TSPs, wobei der negative Effekt bei 9NATSP weniger stark ausgeprägt war als bei P22TSP. Dies stimmt mit den Literaturdaten zu Infektivitätsstudien mit 9NA und P22 überein, die mit Stämmen mit vergleichbaren O-Antigenvarianten durchgeführt wurden. Die Korrelation zwischen der Glucosylierung und Bindungseffizienz konnte strukturell interpretiert werden.
Auf Grundlage der O-Antigenanalysen sowie der Ergebnisse der ELITA- und FACS-Bindungstests wurden die Salmonella-Stämme Brancaster und Kalamu identifiziert, die annähernd quantitativ glucosyliertes O-Antigen exprimieren. Damit eignen sich diese Stämme für weiterführende Studien, um die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Spezifität und der Organisation der Bindestellen der beiden TSPs zu untersuchen.
The nitric oxide (NO)/soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophasphate (cGMP)-signalling pathway is impaired under oxidative stress conditions due to oxidation and subsequent loss of the prosthetic sGC heme group as observed in particular in chronic renal failure. Thus, the pool of heme free sGC is increased under pathological conditions. sGC activators such as cinaciguat selectively activate the heme free form of sGC and target the disease associated enzyme. In this study, a therapeutic effect of long-term activation of heme free sGC by the sGC activator cinaciguat was investigated in an experimental model of salt-sensitive hypertension, a condition that is associated with increased oxidative stress, heme loss from sGC and development of chronic renal failure. For that purpose Dahl/ss rats, which develop severe hypertension upon high salt intake, were fed a high salt diet (8% NaCl) containing either placebo or cinaciguat for 21 weeks. Cinaciguat markedly improved survival and ameliorated the salt-induced increase in blood pressure upon treatment with cinaciguat compared to placebo. Renal function was significantly improved in the cinaciguat group compared to the placebo group as indicated by a significantly improved glomerular filtration rate and reduced urinary protein excretion. This was due to anti-fibrotic and antiinflammatory effects of the cinaciguat treatment. Taken together, this is the first study showing that long-term activation of heme free sGC leads to renal protection in an experimental model of hypertension and chronic kidney disease. These results underline the promising potential of cinaciguat to treat renal diseases by targeting the disease associated heme free form of sGC.
Climate change is likely to impact the seasonality and generation processes of floods in the Nordic countries, which has direct implications for flood risk assessment, design flood estimation, and hydropower production management. Using a multi-model/multi-parameter approach to simulate daily discharge for a reference (1961–1990) and a future (2071–2099) period, we analysed the projected changes in flood seasonality and generation processes in six catchments with mixed snowmelt/rainfall regimes under the current climate in Norway. The multi-model/multi-parameter ensemble consists of (i) eight combinations of global and regional climate models, (ii) two methods for adjusting the climate model output to the catchment scale, and (iii) one conceptual hydrological model with 25 calibrated parameter sets. Results indicate that autumn/winter events become more frequent in all catchments considered, which leads to an intensification of the current autumn/winter flood regime for the coastal catchments, a reduction of the dominance of spring/summer flood regimes in a high-mountain catchment, and a possible systematic shift in the current flood regimes from spring/summer to autumn/winter in the two catchments located in northern and south-eastern Norway. The changes in flood regimes result from increasing event magnitudes or frequencies, or a combination of both during autumn and winter. Changes towards more dominant autumn/winter events correspond to an increasing relevance of rainfall as a flood generating process (FGP) which is most pronounced in those catchments with the largest shifts in flood seasonality. Here, rainfall replaces snowmelt as the dominant FGP primarily due to increasing temperature.We further analysed the ensemble components in contributing to overall uncertainty in the projected changes and found that the climate projections and the methods for downscaling or bias correction tend to be the largest contributors. The relative role of hydrological parameter uncertainty, however, is highest for those catchments showing the largest changes in flood seasonality, which confirms the lack of robustness in hydrological model parameterization for simulations under transient hydrometeorological conditions.
Climate impacts on transocean dispersal and habitat in gray whales from the Pleistocene to 2100
(2015)
Arctic animals face dramatic habitat alteration due to ongoing climate change. Understanding how such species have responded to past glacial cycles can help us forecast their response to today's changing climate. Gray whales are among those marine species likely to be strongly affected by Arctic climate change, but a thorough analysis of past climate impacts on this species has been complicated by lack of information about an extinct population in the Atlantic. While little is known about the history of Atlantic gray whales or their relationship to the extant Pacific population, the extirpation of the Atlantic population during historical times has been attributed to whaling. We used a combination of ancient and modern DNA, radiocarbon dating and predictive habitat modelling to better understand the distribution of gray whales during the Pleistocene and Holocene. Our results reveal that dispersal between the Pacific and Atlantic was climate dependent and occurred both during the Pleistocene prior to the last glacial period and the early Holocene immediately following the opening of the Bering Strait. Genetic diversity in the Atlantic declined over an extended interval that predates the period of intensive commercial whaling, indicating this decline may have been precipitated by Holocene climate or other ecological causes. These first genetic data for Atlantic gray whales, particularly when combined with predictive habitat models for the year 2100, suggest that two recent sightings of gray whales in the Atlantic may represent the beginning of the expansion of this species' habitat beyond its currently realized range.
Closing yield gaps
(2015)
Global food production needs to be increased by 60-110% between 2005 and 2050 to meet growing food and feed demand. Intensification and/or expansion of agriculture are the two main options available to meet the growing crop demands. Land conversion to expand cultivated land increases GHG emissions and impacts biodiversity and ecosystem services. Closing yield gaps to attain potential yields may be a viable option to increase the global crop production. Traditional methods of agricultural intensification often have negative externalities. Therefore, there is a need to explore location-specific methods of sustainable agricultural intensification. We identified regions where the achievement of potential crop calorie production on currently cultivated land will meet the present and future food demand based on scenario analyses considering population growth and changes in dietary habits. By closing yield gaps in the current irrigated and rain-fed cultivated land, about 24% and 80% more crop calories can respectively be produced compared to 2000. Most countries will reach food self-sufficiency or improve their current food self-sufficiency levels if potential crop production levels are achieved. As a novel approach, we defined specific input and agricultural management strategies required to achieve the potential production by overcoming biophysical and socioeconomic constraints causing yield gaps. The management strategies include: fertilizers, pesticides, advanced soil management, land improvement, management strategies coping with weather induced yield variability, and improving market accessibility. Finally, we estimated the required fertilizers (N, P2O5, and K2O) to attain the potential yields. Globally, N-fertilizer application needs to increase by 45-73%, P2O5-fertilizer by 22-46%, and K2O-fertilizer by 2-3 times compared to the year 2010 to attain potential crop production. The sustainability of such agricultural intensification largely depends on the way management strategies for closing yield gaps are chosen and implemented.
The sea level rise induced intensification of coastal floods is a serious threat to many regions in proximity to the ocean. Although severe flood events are rare they can entail enormous damage costs, especially when built-up areas are inundated. Fortunately, the mean sea level advances slowly and there is enough time for society to adapt to the changing environment. Most commonly, this is achieved by the construction or reinforcement of flood defence measures such as dykes or sea walls but also land use and disaster management are widely discussed options. Overall, albeit the projection of sea level rise impacts and the elaboration of adequate response strategies is amongst the most prominent topics in climate impact research, global damage estimates are vague and mostly rely on the same assessment models. The thesis at hand contributes to this issue by presenting a distinctive approach which facilitates large scale assessments as well as the comparability of results across regions. Moreover, we aim to improve the general understanding of the interplay between mean sea level rise, adaptation, and coastal flood damage.
Our undertaking is based on two basic building blocks. Firstly, we make use of macroscopic flood-damage functions, i.e. damage functions that provide the total monetary damage within a delineated region (e.g. a city) caused by a flood of certain magnitude. After introducing a systematic methodology for the automatised derivation of such functions, we apply it to a total of 140 European cities and obtain a large set of damage curves utilisable for individual as well as comparative damage assessments. By scrutinising the resulting curves, we are further able to characterise the slope of the damage functions by means of a functional model. The proposed function has in general a sigmoidal shape but exhibits a power law increase for the relevant range of flood levels and we detect an average exponent of 3.4 for the considered cities. This finding represents an essential input for subsequent elaborations on the general interrelations of involved quantities.
The second basic element of this work is extreme value theory which is employed to characterise the occurrence of flood events and in conjunction with a damage function provides the probability distribution of the annual damage in the area under study. The resulting approach is highly flexible as it assumes non-stationarity in all relevant parameters and can be easily applied to arbitrary regions, sea level, and adaptation scenarios. For instance, we find a doubling of expected flood damage in the city of Copenhagen for a rise in mean sea levels of only 11 cm. By following more general considerations, we succeed in deducing surprisingly simple functional expressions to describe the damage behaviour in a given region for varying mean sea levels, changing storm intensities, and supposed protection levels. We are thus able to project future flood damage by means of a reduced set of parameters, namely the aforementioned damage function exponent and the extreme value parameters. Similar examinations are carried out to quantify the aleatory uncertainty involved in these projections. In this regard, a decrease of (relative) uncertainty with rising mean sea levels is detected. Beyond that, we demonstrate how potential adaptation measures can be assessed in terms of a Cost-Benefit Analysis. This is exemplified by the Danish case study of Kalundborg, where amortisation times for a planned investment are estimated for several sea level scenarios and discount rates.
Based on niche theory, closely related and morphologically similar species are not predicted to coexist due to overlap in resource and habitat use. Local assemblages of bats often contain cryptic taxa, which co-occur despite notable similarities in morphology and ecology. We measured in two different habitat types on Madagascar levels of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in hair (n = 103) and faeces (n = 57) of cryptic Vespertilionidae taxa to indirectly examine whether fine-grained trophic niche differentiation explains their coexistence. In the dry deciduous forest (Kirindy), six sympatric species ranged over 6.0% in delta N-15, i.e. two trophic levels, and 4.2% in delta C-13 with a community mean of 11.3% in delta N-15 and - 21.0% in delta C-13. In the mesic forest (Antsahabe), three sympatric species ranged over one trophic level (delta N-15: 2.4%, delta C-13: 1.0%) with a community mean of 8.0% delta N-15 and - 21.7% in delta C-13. Multivariate analyses and residual permutation of Euclidian distances in delta C-13- delta N-15 bi-plots revealed in both communities distinct stable isotope signatures and species separation for the hair samples among coexisting Vespertilionidae. Intraspecific variation in faecal and hair stable isotopes did not indicate that seasonal migration might relax competition and thereby facilitate the local co-occurrence of sympatric taxa.
Solving problems combining task and motion planning requires searching across a symbolic search space and a geometric search space. Because of the semantic gap between symbolic and geometric representations, symbolic sequences of actions are not guaranteed to be geometrically feasible. This compels us to search in the combined search space, in which frequent backtracks between symbolic and geometric levels make the search inefficient. We address this problem by guiding symbolic search with rich information extracted from the geometric level through culprit detection mechanisms.

Small scale distribution of insect root herbivores may promote plant species diversity by creating patches of different herbivore pressure. However, determinants of small scale distribution of insect root herbivores, and impact of land use intensity on their small scale distribution are largely unknown. We sampled insect root herbivores and measured vegetation parameters and soil water content along transects in grasslands of different management intensity in three regions in Germany. We calculated community-weighted mean plant traits to test whether the functional plant community composition determines the small scale distribution of insect root herbivores. To analyze spatial patterns in plant species and trait composition and insect root herbivore abundance we computed Mantel correlograms. Insect root herbivores mainly comprised click beetle (Coleoptera, Elateridae) larvae (43%) in the investigated grasslands. Total insect root herbivore numbers were positively related to community-weighted mean traits indicating high plant growth rates and biomass (specific leaf area, reproductive-and vegetative plant height), and negatively related to plant traits indicating poor tissue quality (leaf C/N ratio). Generalist Elaterid larvae, when analyzed independently, were also positively related to high plant growth rates and furthermore to root dry mass, but were not related to tissue quality. Insect root herbivore numbers were not related to plant cover, plant species richness and soil water content. Plant species composition and to a lesser extent plant trait composition displayed spatial autocorrelation, which was not influenced by land use intensity. Insect root herbivore abundance was not spatially autocorrelated. We conclude that in semi-natural grasslands with a high share of generalist insect root herbivores, insect root herbivores affiliate with large, fast growing plants, presumably because of availability of high quantities of food. Affiliation of insect root herbivores with large, fast growing plants may counteract dominance of those species, thus promoting plant diversity.
Winter storms are the most costly natural hazard for European residential property. We compare four distinct storm damage functions with respect to their forecast accuracy and variability, with particular regard to the most severe winter storms. The analysis focuses on daily loss estimates under differing spatial aggregation, ranging from district to country level. We discuss the broad and heavily skewed distribution of insured losses posing difficulties for both the calibration and the evaluation of damage functions. From theoretical considerations, we provide a synthesis between the frequently discussed cubic wind–damage relationship and recent studies that report much steeper damage functions for European winter storms. The performance of the storm loss models is evaluated for two sources of wind gust data, direct observations by the German Weather Service and ERA-Interim reanalysis data. While the choice of gust data has little impact on the evaluation of German storm loss, spatially resolved coefficients of variation reveal dependence between model and data choice. The comparison shows that the probabilistic models by Heneka et al. (2006) and Prahl et al. (2012) both provide accurate loss predictions for moderate to extreme losses, with generally small coefficients of variation. We favour the latter model in terms of model applicability. Application of the versatile deterministic model by Klawa and Ulbrich (2003) should be restricted to extreme loss, for which it shows the least bias and errors comparable to the probabilistic model by Prahl et al. (2012).
The paper presents two approaches to the development of
a Computer Science Competence Model for the needs of curriculum
development and evaluation in Higher Education. A normativetheoretical
approach is based on the AKT and ACM/IEEE curriculum
and will be used within the recommendations of the German
Informatics Society (GI) for the design of CS curricula. An empirically
oriented approach refines the categories of the first one with regard to
specific subject areas by conducting content analysis on CS curricula of
important universities from several countries. The refined model will be
used for the needs of students’ e-assessment and subsequent affirmative
action of the CS departments.
Computational Thinking
(2015)
Digital technology has radically changed the way people
work in industry, finance, services, media and commerce. Informatics
has contributed to the scientific and technological development of our
society in general and to the digital revolution in particular. Computational
thinking is the term indicating the key ideas of this discipline that
might be included in the key competencies underlying the curriculum
of compulsory education. The educational potential of informatics has
a history dating back to the sixties. In this article, we briefly revisit this
history looking for lessons learned. In particular, we focus on experiences
of teaching and learning programming. However, computational
thinking is more than coding. It is a way of thinking and practicing interactive
dynamic modeling with computers. We advocate that learners
can practice computational thinking in playful contexts where they can
develop personal projects, for example building videogames and/or robots,
share and discuss their construction with others. In our view, this
approach allows an integration of computational thinking in the K-12
curriculum across disciplines.
Im Rahmen der EU-weiten REACH-Verordnung haben Alternativmethoden zum Tierversuch in der Toxikologie an Bedeutung gewonnen. Die Alternativmethoden gliedern sich auf in In-vitro- und In-silico-Methoden. In dieser Dissertation wurden verschiedene Konzepte der In-silico-Toxikologie behandelt.
Die bearbeiteten Themen reichen von quantitativen Strukturaktivitätsbeziehungen (QSAR) über eine neue Herangehensweise an das gängige Konzept zur Festlegung von Grenzwerten bis hin zu computerbasierten Modellierungen zum Alkohol- und Bisphenol-A-Stoffwechsel.
Das Kapitel über QSAR befasst sich im Wesentlichen mit der Erstellung und Analyse einer Datenbank mit 878 Substanzen, die sich aus Tierversuchsstudien aus dem Archiv des Bundesinstituts für Risikobewertung zusammensetzt. Das Design wurde dabei an eine bereits bestehende Datenbank angepasst, um so einen möglichst großen Datenpool zu generieren. In der Analyse konnte u.a. gezeigt werden, dass Stoffe mit niedrigerem Molekulargewicht ein erhöhtes Potential für toxikologische Schäden aufwiesen als größere Moleküle.
Mit Hilfe des sogenannten TTC-Konzepts können Grenzwerte für Stoffe geringer Exposition festgelegt werden, zu denen keine toxikologischen Daten zur Verfügung stehen. In dieser Arbeit wurden für die Stoffe dreier Datenbanken entsprechende Grenzwerte festgelegt. Es erfolgte zunächst eine gängige strukturbasierte Aufteilung der Substanzen in die Kategorien "nicht toxisch", "möglicherweise toxisch" und "eindeutig toxisch". Substanzen, die aufgrund ihrer Struktur in eine der drei Klassen eingeordnet werden, erhalten den entsprechenden Grenzwert. Da in die dritte Klasse auch Stoffe eingeordnet werden, deren Toxizität nicht bestimmbar ist, ist sie sehr groß. Daher wurden in dieser Arbeit die ersten beiden Klassen zusammengelgt, um einen größeren Datenpool zu ermöglichen. Eine weitere Neuerung umfasst die Erstellung eines internen Grenzwerts. Diese Vorgehensweise hat den Vorteil, dass der Expositionsweg herausgerechnet wird und somit beispielsweise Studien mit oraler Verabreichung mit Studien dermaler Verabreichung verglichen werden können.
Mittels physiologisch basiertem kinetischem Modelling ist es möglich, Vorgänge im menschlichen Körper mit Hilfe spezieller Software nachzuvollziehen. Durch diese Vorgehensweise können Expositionen von Chemikalien simuliert werden. In einem Teil der Arbeit wurden Alkoholexpositionen von gestillten Neugeborenen simuliert, deren Mütter unmittelbar zuvor alkoholische Getränke konsumiert hatten. Mit dem Modell konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Expositionen des Kindes durchweg gering waren. Nach einem Glas Wein wurden Spitzenkonzentrationen im Blut von Neugeborenen von 0,0034 Promille ermittelt. Zum Vergleich wurde die Exposition durch ein für Säuglinge zugelassenes alkoholhaltiges pflanzliches Arzneimittel simuliert. Hier wurden Spitzenkonzentrationen von 0,0141 Promille erreicht. Daher scheinen Empfehlungen wie gelegentlicher Konsum ohne schädigende Wirkung auf das Kind wissenschaftlich fundiert zu sein.
Ein weiteres Kinetik-Modell befasste sich mit dem Stoffwechsel von Bisphenol A. Teils widersprüchliche Daten zur Belastung mit BPA in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur führen wiederholt zu Anregungen, den Grenzwert der Chemikalie anzupassen. Die Funktionalität der am Metabolismus beteiligten Enzyme kann je nach Individuum unterschiedlich ausgeprägt sein. Mittels Modellings konnte hier gezeigt werden, dass dies maßgeblich dazu führt, dass sich berechnete Plasmaspiegel von Individuen bis zu 4,7-fach unterscheiden.
Die Arbeit konnte somit einen Beitrag zur Nutzung und Weiterentwicklung von In-silico-Modellen für diverse toxikologische Fragestellungen leisten.
Concluding Remarks
(2015)
This paper originated from discussions about the need for
important changes in the curriculum for Computing including two focus
group meetings at IFIP conferences over the last two years. The
paper examines how recent developments in curriculum, together with
insights from curriculum thinking in other subject areas, especially mathematics
and science, can inform curriculum design for Computing.
The analysis presented in the paper provides insights into the complexity
of curriculum design as well as identifying important constraints and
considerations for the ongoing development of a vision and framework
for a Computing curriculum.
Background: Continuous treatment is an important indicator of medication adherence in dementia. However, long-term studies in larger clinical settings are lacking, and little is known about moderating effects of patient and service characteristics.
Methods: Data from 12,910 outpatients with dementia (mean age 79.2 years; SD = 7.6 years) treated between January 2003 and December 2013 in Germany were included. Continuous treatment was analysed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. In addition, multivariate Cox regression models were fitted with continuous treatment as dependent variable and the predictors antidementia agent, age, gender, medical comorbidities, physician specialty, and health insurance status.
Results: After one year of follow-up, nearly 60% of patients continued drug treatment. Donezepil (HR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.82-0.95) and memantine (HR: 0.85; 0.79-0.91) patients were less likely to be discontinued treatment as compared to rivastigmine users. Patients were less likely to be discontinued if they were treated by specialist physicians as compared to general practitioners (HR: 0.44; 0.41-0.48). Younger male patients and patients who had private health insurance had a lower discontinuation risk. Regarding comorbidity, patients were more likely to be continuously treated with the index substance if a diagnosis of heart failure or hypertension had been diagnosed at baseline.
Conclusions: Our results imply that besides type of antidementia agent, involvement of a specialist in the complex process of prescribing antidementia drugs can provide meaningful benefits to patients, in terms of more disease-specific and continuous treatment.
Organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells based on polymer:fullerene blends are a promising alternative for a low-cost solar energy conversion. Despite significant improvements of the power conversion efficiency in recent years, the fundamental working principles of these devices are yet not fully understood. In general, the current output of organic solar cells is determined by the generation of free charge carriers upon light absorption and their transport to the electrodes in competition to the loss of charge carriers due to recombination.
The object of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic processes and physical parameters determining the performance. A new approach for analyzing the characteristic current-voltage output was developed comprising the experimental determination of the efficiencies of charge carrier generation, recombination and transport, combined with numerical device simulations.
Central issues at the beginning of this work were the influence of an electric field on the free carrier generation process and the contribution of generation, recombination and transport to the current-voltage characteristics. An elegant way to directly measure the field dependence of the free carrier generation is the Time Delayed Collection Field (TDCF) method. In TDCF charge carriers are generated by a short laser pulse and subsequently extracted by a defined rectangular voltage pulse. A new setup was established with an improved time resolution compared to former reports in literature. It was found that charge generation is in general independent of the electric field, in contrast to the current view in literature and opposed to the expectations of the Braun-Onsager model that was commonly used to describe the charge generation process. Even in cases where the charge generation was found to be field-dependend, numerical modelling showed that this field-dependence is in general not capable to account for the voltage dependence of the photocurrent. This highlights the importance of efficient charge extraction in competition to non-geminate recombination, which is the second objective of the thesis.
Therefore, two different techniques were combined to characterize the dynamics and efficiency of non-geminate recombination under device-relevant conditions. One new approach is to perform TDCF measurements with increasing delay between generation and extraction of charges. Thus, TDCF was used for the first time to measure charge carrier generation, recombination and transport with the same experimental setup. This excludes experimental errors due to different measurement and preparation conditions and demonstrates the strength of this technique. An analytic model for the description of TDCF transients was developed and revealed the experimental conditions for which reliable results can be obtained. In particular, it turned out that the $RC$ time of the setup which is mainly given by the sample geometry has a significant influence on the shape of the transients which has to be considered for correct data analysis.
Secondly, a complementary method was applied to characterize charge carrier recombination under steady state bias and illumination, i.e. under realistic operating conditions. This approach relies on the precise determination of the steady state carrier densities established in the active layer. It turned out that current techniques were not sufficient to measure carrier densities with the necessary accuracy. Therefore, a new technique {Bias Assisted Charge Extraction} (BACE) was developed. Here, the charge carriers photogenerated under steady state illumination are extracted by applying a high reverse bias. The accelerated extraction compared to conventional charge extraction minimizes losses through non-geminate recombination and trapping during extraction. By performing numerical device simulations under steady state, conditions were established under which quantitative information on the dynamics can be retrieved from BACE measurements.
The applied experimental techniques allowed to sensitively analyse and quantify geminate and non-geminate recombination losses along with charge transport in organic solar cells. A full analysis was exemplarily demonstrated for two prominent polymer-fullerene blends.
The model system P3HT:PCBM spincast from chloroform (as prepared) exhibits poor power conversion efficiencies (PCE) on the order of 0.5%, mainly caused by low fill factors (FF) and currents. It could be shown that the performance of these devices is limited by the hole transport and large bimolecular recombination (BMR) losses, while geminate recombination losses are insignificant. The low polymer crystallinity and poor interconnection between the polymer and fullerene domains leads to a hole mobility of the order of 10^-7 cm^2/Vs which is several orders of magnitude lower than the electron mobility in these devices. The concomitant build up of space charge hinders extraction of both electrons and holes and promotes bimolecular recombination losses.
Thermal annealing of P3HT:PCBM blends directly after spin coating improves crystallinity and interconnection of the polymer and the fullerene phase and results in comparatively high electron and hole mobilities in the order of 10^-3 cm^2/Vs and 10^-4 cm^2/Vs, respectively. In addition, a coarsening of the domain sizes leads to a reduction of the BMR by one order of magnitude. High charge carrier mobilities and low recombination losses result in comparatively high FF (>65%) and short circuit current (J_SC ≈ 10 mA/cm^2). The overall device performance (PCE ≈ 4%) is only limited by a rather low spectral overlap of absorption and solar emission and a small V_OC, given by the energetics of the P3HT.
From this point of view the combination of the low bandgap polymer PTB7 with PCBM is a promising approach. In BHJ solar cells, this polymer leads to a higher V_OC due to optimized energetics with PCBM. However, the J_SC in these (unoptimized) devices is similar to the J_SC in the optimized blend with P3HT and the FF is rather low (≈ 50%). It turned out that the unoptimized PTB7:PCBM blends suffer from high BMR, a low electron mobility of the order of 10^-5 cm^2/Vs and geminate recombination losses due to field dependent charge carrier generation.
The use of the solvent additive DIO optimizes the blend morphology, mainly by suppressing the formation of very large fullerene domains and by forming a more uniform structure of well interconnected donor and acceptor domains of the order of a few nanometers. Our analysis shows that this results in an increase of the electron mobility by about one order of magnitude (3 x 10^-4 cm^2/Vs), while BMR and geminate recombination losses are significantly reduced. In total these effects improve the J_SC (≈ 17 mA/cm^2) and the FF (> 70%). In 2012 this polymer/fullerene combination resulted in a record PCE for a single junction OSC of 9.2%.
Remarkably, the numerical device simulations revealed that the specific shape of the J-V characteristics depends very sensitively to the variation of not only one, but all dynamic parameters. On the one hand this proves that the experimentally determined parameters, if leading to a good match between simulated and measured J-V curves, are realistic and reliable. On the other hand it also emphasizes the importance to consider all involved dynamic quantities, namely charge carrier generation, geminate and non-geminate recombination as well as electron and hole mobilities. The measurement or investigation of only a subset of these parameters as frequently found in literature will lead to an incomplete picture and possibly to misleading conclusions.
Importantly, the comparison of the numerical device simulation employing the measured parameters and the experimental $J-V$ characteristics allows to identify loss channels and limitations of OSC. For example, it turned out that inefficient extraction of charge carriers is a criticical limitation factor that is often disobeyed. However, efficient and fast transport of charges becomes more and more important with the development of new low bandgap materials with very high internal quantum efficiencies. Likewise, due to moderate charge carrier mobilities, the active layer thicknesses of current high-performance devices are usually limited to around 100 nm. However, larger layer thicknesses would be more favourable with respect to higher current output and robustness of production. Newly designed donor materials should therefore at best show a high tendency to form crystalline structures, as observed in P3HT, combined with the optimized energetics and quantum efficiency of, for example, PTB7.
Background African weakly-electric fishes of the family Mormyridae are able to produce and perceive weak electric signals (typically less than one volt in amplitude) owing to the presence of a specialized, muscle-derived electric organ (EO) in their tail region. Such electric signals, also known as Electric Organ Discharges (EODs), are used for objects/prey localization, for the identification of conspecifics, and in social and reproductive behaviour. This feature might have promoted the adaptive radiation of this family by acting as an effective pre-zygotic isolation mechanism. Despite the physiological and evolutionary importance of this trait, the investigation of the genetic basis of its function and modification has so far remained limited. In this study, we aim at: i) identifying constitutive differences in terms of gene expression between electric organ and skeletal muscle (SM) in two mormyrid species of the genus Campylomormyrus: C. compressirostris and C. tshokwe, and ii) exploring cross-specific patterns of gene expression within the two tissues among C. compressirostris, C. tshokwe, and the outgroup species Gnathonemus petersii. Results Twelve paired-end (100 bp) strand-specific RNA-seq Illumina libraries were sequenced, producing circa 330 M quality-filtered short read pairs. The obtained reads were assembled de novo into four reference transcriptomes. In silico cross-tissue DE-analysis allowed us to identify 271 shared differentially expressed genes between EO and SM in C. compressirostris and C.tshokwe. Many of these genes correspond to myogenic factors, ion channels and pumps, and genes involved in several metabolic pathways. Cross-species analysis has revealed that the electric organ transcriptome is more variable in terms of gene expression levels across species than the skeletal muscle transcriptome. Conclusions The data obtained indicate that: i) the loss of contractile activity and the decoupling of the excitation-contraction processes are reflected by the down-regulation of the corresponding genes in the electric organ’s transcriptome; ii) the metabolic activity of the EO might be specialized towards the production and turn-over of membrane structures; iii) several ion channels are highly expressed in the EO in order to increase excitability; iv) several myogenic factors might be down-regulated by transcription repressors in the EO.
Electron transfer (ET) reactions play a crucial role in the metabolic pathways of all organisms. In biotechnological approaches, the redox properties of the protein cytochrome c (cyt c), which acts as an electron shuttle in the respiratory chain, was utilized to engineer ET chains on electrode surfaces. With the help of the biopolymer DNA, the redox protein assembles into electro active multilayer (ML) systems, providing a biocompatible matrix for the entrapment of proteins.
In this study the characteristics of the cyt c and DNA interaction were defined on the molecular level for the first time and the binding sites of DNA on cyt c were identified. Persistent cyt c/DNA complexes were formed in solution under the assembly conditions of ML architectures, i.e. pH 5.0 and low ionic strength. At pH 7.0, no agglomerates were formed, permitting the characterization of the NMR spectroscopy. Using transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy (TROSY)-heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) experiments, DNAs’ binding sites on the protein were identified. In particular, negatively charged AA residues, which are known interaction sites in cyt c/protein binding were identified as the main contact points of cyt c and DNA.
Moreover, the sophisticated task of arranging proteins on electrode surfaces to create functional ET chains was addressed. Therefore, two different enzyme types, the flavin dependent fructose dehydrogenase (FDH) and the pyrroloquinoline quinone dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH), were tested as reaction partners of freely diffusing cyt c and cyt c immobilized on electrodes in mono- and MLs. The characterisation of the ET processes was performed by means of electrochemistry and the protein deposition was monitored by microgravimetric measurements. FDH and PQQ-GDH were found to be generally suitable for combination with the cyt c/DNA ML system, since both enzymes interact with cyt c in solution and in the immobilized state. The immobilization of FDH and cyt c was achieved with the enzyme on top of a cyt c monolayer electrode without the help of a polyelectrolyte. Combining FDH with the cyt c/DNA ML system did not succeed, yet. However, the basic conditions for this protein-protein interaction were defined. PQQ-GDH was successfully coupled with the ML system, demonstrating that that the cyt c/DNA ML system provides a suitable interface for enzymes and that the creation of signal chains, based on the idea of co-immobilized proteins is feasible.
Future work may be directed to the investigation of cyt c/DNA interaction under the precise conditions of ML assembly. Therefore, solid state NMR or X-ray crystallography may be required. Based on the results of this study, the combination of FDH with the ML system should be addressed. Moreover, alternative types of enzymes may be tested as catalytic component of the ML assembly, aiming on the development of innovative biosensor applications.
