The topic of synchronization forms a link between nonlinear dynamics and neuroscience. On the one hand, neurobiological research has shown that the synchronization of neuronal activity is an essential aspect of the working principle of the brain. On the other hand, recent advances in the physical theory have led to the discovery of the phenomenon of phase synchronization. A method of data analysis that is motivated by this finding - phase synchronization analysis - has already been successfully applied to empirical data. The present doctoral thesis ties up to these converging lines of research. Its subject are methodical contributions to the further development of phase synchronization analysis, as well as its application to event-related potentials, a form of EEG data that is especially important in the cognitive sciences. The methodical contributions of this work consist firstly in a number of specialized statistical tests for a difference in the synchronization strength in two different states of a system of two oscillators. Secondly, in regard of the many-channel character of EEG data an approach to multivariate phase synchronization analysis is presented. For the empirical investigation of neuronal synchronization a classic experiment on language processing was replicated, comparing the effect of a semantic violation in a sentence context with that of the manipulation of physical stimulus properties (font color). Here phase synchronization analysis detects a decrease of global synchronization for the semantic violation as well as an increase for the physical manipulation. In the latter case, by means of the multivariate analysis the global synchronization effect can be traced back to an interaction of symmetrically located brain areas.<BR> The findings presented show that the method of phase synchronization analysis motivated by physics is able to provide a relevant contribution to the investigation of event-related potentials in the cognitive sciences.
Polymer optical fibers (POFs) are a rather new tool for high-speed data transfer by modulated light. They allow the transport of high amounts of data over distances up to about 100 m without be influenced by external electromagnetic fields. Due to organic chemical nature of POFs, they are sensitive to the climate of their environment and therefore the optical fiber properties are as well. Hence, the optical stability is a key issue for long-term applications of POFs. The causes for a loss of optical transmission due to climatic exposures (aging/degradation) are researched by means of chemical analytical tools such as chemiluminescence (CL) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for five different (with respect to manufacturers) step-index multimode PMMA based POFs and for seven different climatic conditions. Three of the five POF samples are studied more in detail to realize the effects of individual parameters and for forecasting longterm optical stability by short-term exposure tests. At first, the unexposed POF components (core, cladding, and bare POF as combination of core and cladding) are characterized with respect to important physical and chemical properties. The glass transition temperature Tg, and the melting temperature Tm are in the region of 120 °C to 140 °C, the molecular weight (Mw) of cores is in the order of 105 g mol-1. POFs are found to have different chemical compositions of their claddings as could be detected by FTIR, but identical compositions of their cores. Two of the POFs are exposed as cables (core, cladding and jacket) for about 3300 hours to the climate 92 °C / 95 % relative humidity (RH) resulting in a different transmission decrease. Investigating the related unexposed and exposed bare POFs for degradation using CL, FTIR, thermogravimetry (TG), UV/visible transmittance and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) suggest that claddings of POFs are more affected than cores. Probably the observed loss of transmission is mainly due to increased light absorption and imperfections at the core-cladding boundary caused by a large degradation of claddings. Hence, it is highly possible that the optical transmission stability of POFs is governed mainly by the thermo-oxidative stability of the cladding and minor of the core. Three bare POFs (core and cladding only) are exposed for different duration of exposure time (30 hours to 4500 hours) to 92 °C / 95 %RH, 92 °C / 50 %RH, 50 °C / 95 %RH, 90 °C / low humidity, 100 °C / low humidity, 110 °C / low humidity and 120 °C / low humidity. In these climates their transmission variations are found to be different from each other, too. The outcomes strongly inform that under high temperature and high humid climates physical changes such as volume expansion, are the main sources for the loss of optical transmission. Also, the optical transmission stability of POFs is found to be dependent on chemical compositions of claddings. Under high temperature and low humid conditions, a loss of transmission at the early stages of the exposure is mainly caused by physical changes, presumable by corecladding interface imperfections. For the later stages of exposures it is proposed to an additional increase of light absorption by core and cladding owes to degradation. Optical simulation results obtained parallel by Mr. L. Jankowski (a PhD student of BAM) are found to confirm these results. For bare POFs, too, the optical stability of POFs seems to depend on their thermo-oxidative stability. Some short-term exposure tests are conducted to realize influences of individual climatic parameters on the transmission property of POFs. It is found that at stationary high temperature and variable humidity conditions POFs display to a certain amount a reversible transmission loss due to physically absorbed water. But in the case of varying temperature and constant high humidity such reversibility is hardly noticeable. However, at room temperature and varying humidity, POFs display fully reversible transmission loss. The whole research described above has to be regarded as a starting point for further investigations. The restricted distribution of fundamental POF data by the manufacturers and the time consuming aging by climatic exposures restrict the results more or less to the samples, investigated here. Significant general statements require for example additional information concerning the variation of POF properties due to production. Nevertheless the tests, described here, have the capability for approximating and forecasting the long-term optical transmission stability of POFs. -------------- Auch im Druck erschienen: Appajaiah, Anilkumar: Climatic stability of polymer optical fibers (POF) / Anilkumar Appajaiah. - Bremerhaven : Wirtschaftsverl.

This thesis work describes a new experimental method for the determination of Mode II (shear) fracture toughness, KIIC of rock and compares the outcome to results from Mode I (tensile) fracture toughness, KIC, testing using the International Society of Rock Mechanics Chevron-Bend method.Critical Mode I fracture growth at ambient conditions was studied by carrying out a series of experiments on a sandstone at different loading rates. The mechanical and microstructural data show that time- and loading rate dependent crack growth occurs in the test material at constant energy requirement.The newly developed set-up for determination of the Mode II fracture toughness is called the Punch-Through Shear test. Notches were drilled to the end surfaces of core samples. An axial load punches down the central cylinder introducing a shear load in the remaining rock bridge. To the mantle of the cores a confining pressure may be applied. The application of confining pressure favours the growth of Mode II fractures as large pressures suppress the growth of tensile cracks.Variation of geometrical parameters leads to an optimisation of the PTS- geometry. Increase of normal load on the shear zone increases KIIC bi-linear. High slope is observed at low confining pressures; at pressures above 30 MPa low slope increase is evident. The maximum confining pressure applied is 70 MPa. The evolution of fracturing and its change with confining pressure is described.The existence of Mode II fracture in rock is a matter of debate in the literature. Comparison of the results from Mode I and Mode II testing, mainly regarding the resulting fracture pattern, and correlation analysis of KIC and KIIC to physico-mechanical parameters emphasised the differences between the response of rock to Mode I and Mode II loading. On the microscale, neither the fractures resulting from Mode I the Mode II loading are pure mode fractures. On macroscopic scale, Mode I and Mode II do exist.
Strategien der Autorisierung : Projektionen der Chicana bei Gloria Anzaldúa und Cherríe Moraga
(2004)
Borderlands/La Frontera (1987), Loving in the War Years (1983) und The Last Generation (1993) entziehen sich einer einfachen Zuordnung: Sie führen unterschiedliche Sprachcodes, und Genres zusammen und sind zwischen Literatur und Theorie angesiedelt. Die Texte der mexikanisch-amerikanischen Autorinnen Cherríe Moraga und Gloria Anzaldúa verfolgen diverse Strategienum eine im Prozess des Schreibens entstehende, vielfältig verortete und gebrochene Identität zu konstituieren. In ihnen überlagern sich verschiedene kulturelle Diskurse US-amerikanischer, mexikanischer und hispanoamerikanischer Provenienz. Sie prägen neue Begriffsmetaphern wie New Mestiza, Borderlands/ La Frontera und Queer Aztlán, die in die politische und kulturelle Emanzipationsbewegung der Chicanos in den USA feministische und équeere' Positionen einschreiben und über diesen Kontext hinaus eine hohe Symbolkraft entwickeln. Im Gegensatz zu der in den Ethnic Studies und den Womens' Studies vorherrschenden Rezeption dieser Werke als völlig neue und traditionsunabhängige Texte zeigt die vorliegende Arbeit, dass die Autorinnen durchaus vorhandene Strategien nutzen und mit ihnen Sexualitätsdiskurse und Körperkonzepte sowie anthropologische und kulturtheoretische Diskurse zurückgeifen. Die Arbeit verbindet romanistisch- lateinamerikanistische und angloamerikanistische Fach- und Forschungskompetenz und versteht sich als Beitrag zu einer neuen kulturwissenschaftlich orientierten Literaturwissenschaft.
Die Autoren untersuchten mit Hilfe einer Fragebogenstudie das Sexualverhalten von StudentenInnen und KrankenpflegeschülernInnen unter der Bedrohung durch AIDS(n = 593). Als Ergebnis lässt sich festhalten, dass unterschiedliche Personengruppen mit unterschiedlichen Einstellungen, mit unterschiedlichem Wissen über HIV und AIDS, mit unterschiedlichem Sexualverhalten sowie einem unterschiedlichen Grad von persönlicher Betroffenheit auf differenzierte Weise angesprochen und zur Prävention angeleitet werden müssen. Die berufliche Nähe zu HIV und AIDS hat keinen Einfluss auf die sexuellen Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen. Nur durch eine Selbststeuerung kann einer Gefahrensituation, wie sie eine mögliche HIV-Infektion darstellt, begegnet werden. Von daher muss neben der persönlichen Betroffenheit auch die Einsicht gegeben sein, dass ich mich als Individuum eigenständig vor dieser Gefahr schützen kann. Ferner muss dieses Verhalten in die eigene Lebenswelt eingepasst und von der eigenen sozialen Umgebung getragen werden. Präventionsbemühungen müssen auf kompetenzsteigernde, ressourcenorientierte und differenzierte Maßnahmen setzen. Ansätze von Furchtappellen und Lustfeindlichkeit wirken kontraproduktiv. Eine Beschränkung der Prävention auf individuumzentrierte Maßnahmen ist wenig effektiv, sofern gesellschaftliche und strukturelle Bedingungen ausgeblendet werden. Ziel von Sexualpädagogik und AIDS-Präventionsarbeit muss es daher sein, eine von allen geteilte Kommunikationsstruktur für Intimität zu entwickeln.
Adherent cells constantly collect information about the mechanical properties of their extracellular environment by actively pulling on it through cell-matrix contacts, which act as mechanosensors. In recent years, the sophisticated use of elastic substrates has shown that cells respond very sensitively to changes in effective stiffness in their environment, which results in a reorganization of the cytoskeleton in response to mechanical input. We develop a theoretical model to predict cellular self-organization in soft materials on a coarse grained level. Although cell organization in principle results from complex regulatory events inside the cell, the typical response to mechanical input seems to be a simple preference for large effective stiffness, possibly because force is more efficiently generated in a stiffer environment. The term effective stiffness comprises effects of both rigidity and prestrain in the environment. This observation can be turned into an optimization principle in elasticity theory. By specifying the cellular probing force pattern and by modeling the environment as a linear elastic medium, one can predict preferred cell orientation and position. Various examples for cell organization, which are of large practical interest, are considered theoretically: cells in external strain fields and cells close to boundaries or interfaces for different sample geometries and boundary conditions. For this purpose the elastic equations are solved exactly for an infinite space, an elastic half space and the elastic sphere. The predictions of the model are in excellent agreement with experiments for fibroblast cells, both on elastic substrates and in hydrogels. Mechanically active cells like fibroblasts could also interact elastically with each other. We calculate the optimal structures on elastic substrates as a function of material properties, cell density and the geometry of cell positioning, respectively, that allows each cell to maximize the effective stiffness in its environment due to the traction of all the other cells. Finally, we apply Monte Carlo simulations to study the effect of noise on cellular structure formation. The model not only contributes to a better understanding of many physiological situations. In the future it could also be used for biomedical applications to optimize protocols for artificial tissues with respect to sample geometry, boundary condition, material properties or cell density.
