Lesings: mākslas principi un estētiskā audzināšana 18. gadsimta estētiskā racionālisma gaismā
2019
Darba mērķis ir apzināt Gotholda Efraima Lesinga estētiskās audzināšanas projektu apgaismības laikmeta estētiskā racionālisma kontekstā. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, ir izvirzīti trīs uzdevumi. Pirmkārt, sniegt ieskatu Lesinga priekšstatos par dažādu mākslas veidu uzdevumiem. Otrkārt, izprast Lesinga iezīmēto mākslas veidu sadarbību vai – tieši otrādi – to izslēdzošās attiecības. Treškārt, uzzināt, vai Lesinga gadījumā ir iespējams runāt par vienotu mākslas principu vai mākslas definīcijas izveidi. Darba gaitā secināts, ka vienotība nav iespējama mākslu hierarhiskā statusa un dažādo funkciju dēļ.
Case of unilateral wing formation in the female of the glowwormLampyris noctiluca
2003
On July 27, 1999, the first author found a unilaterally winged adult glowworm in a park in the city of Mainz. Except for the wings on the left side, the specimen exhibited female characteristics that extended to external sexual appendages, the lantern and the gonads. The internal organization showed some remarkable differences between right (wingless) and left (winged) side. The right ovary contained three times more mature eggs than the left side and the volume of the corpus allatum of this side was about one-third larger than that of the left side. This suggests that aptery and egg maturation are affected by corpus allatum activity, i.e., juvenile hormone production. The findings do not s…
Mappings of finite distortion : size of the branch set
2018
Abstract We study the branch set of a mapping between subsets of ℝ n {\mathbb{R}^{n}} , i.e., the set where a given mapping is not defining a local homeomorphism. We construct several sharp examples showing that the branch set or its image can have positive measure.
Mündliche Kompetenz und Bewusstsein beim unterrichtlichen Fremdsprachenlernen
2014
Das Buch befasst sich mit dem Zusammenspiel von kognitiven, emotionalen und motivationalen Faktoren beim Aufbau von mündlicher Kompetenz in Deutsch als Tertiärsprache bei erwachsenen Italienern. Es stützt sich dabei auf ein interdisziplinäres Vorgehen, das theoretisch erörtert und in seiner Methodenwahl ausführlich dargelegt wird, insbesondere die Videografie sowie intro-/retrospektive Verfahren. Die Ergebnisse der Studie veranschaulichen die Lernprozesse einmal klassenübergreifend, zum anderen erfolgt eine detaillierte Analyse der einzelnen Lernenden. Das Literaturverzeichnis liefert Lehrenden, Studierenden und Forschern eine erschöpfende bibliographische Quelle zu den behandelten Themen.
Climate change and the ecology and evolution of Arctic vertebrates.
2012
25 pages; International audience; Climate change is taking place more rapidly and severely in the Arctic than anywhere on the globe, exposing Arctic vertebrates to a host of impacts. Changes in the cryosphere dominate the physical changes that already affect these animals, but increasing air temperatures, changes in precipitation, and ocean acidification will also affect Arctic ecosystems in the future. Adaptation via natural selection is problematic in such a rapidly changing environment. Adjustment via phenotypic plasticity is therefore likely to dominate Arctic vertebrate responses in the short term, and many such adjustments have already been documented. Changes in phenology and range w…
Photoassisted Oxidation of the Recalcitrant Cyanuric Acid Substrate in Aqueous ZnO Suspensions
2007
The photoassisted oxidative transformation of the highly recalcitrant cyanuric acid was examined in the liquid−solid regime at pH 3 and natural pH 7.5 under UV irradiation in oxygen- and ozone-saturated ZnO suspensions using ZnO as a photomediator. Loss of cyanuric acid was assayed by HPLC UV absorption spectroscopy, whereas intermediates and final products were determined by HPLC ion chromatography (IC), by MS techniques using an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer operated in the negative-ion mode, and by FT-IR spectroscopy. Final reaction products were CO2 gas and NO3- ions. The measure of nitrate in solution quantified the degree of mineralization of the substrate; its concentrati…
Converting p-terphenyl into a novel organo-catalyst for LED-driven energy and electron transfer photoreactions in water.
2021
p-Terphenyl is a potent photoredox catalyst under UV-irradiation. Aiming for more sustainable reaction conditions, we added two sulfonate groups to this key structure to achieve water solubility and incorporated an SO2-bridge thereby shifting the absorption spectrum towards the visible. The resulting photocatalyst shows unexpected triplet reactivity in several test reactions.
Influence of temperature on the synthesis of thiol-stabilized CdTe nanoparticles in aqueous solutions
2010
We have investigated the evolution of thiol-capped cadmium telluride nanocrystals prepared in aqueous solutions at low and room temperature followed by heating at 50–100 °C. The UV–visible absorption spectra, as well as transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering observations made it possible to reveal differences in size and structure originating from different heating temperatures. It was shown that minimization of the nucleation process temperature provided formation of larger nanoparticles than at higher temperatures.
H and 19F NMR Investigation on Mixed Hydrocarbon−Fluorocarbon Micelles
2003
1H and 1 9 F NMR measurements on aqueous solutions of sodium perfluorooctanoate (SPFO) and sodium dodecanoate (SD) mixtures are reported. The surfactant concentration ranged from ∼0.3 to 10 times the critical micelle concentration (cmc ≅ 0.03 mol L - 1 ). The cmc of the SD/SPFO/water mixed system obtained from NMR data was in good agreement with that previously obtained by conductivity measurements. Below the cmc, the experimental chemical shift (δ) was independent of the total concentration for both surfactants. Above the cmc, however, the 6 values for 1 9 F varied linearly with concentration, whereas the values for the hydrogenated surfactant deviated from linearity. These observations in…
Thermodynamic Interaction Parameters for the System Water/NMMO Hydrate
2008
Vapor pressures of water were measured for aqueous solutions of N-methyl-morpholine N-oxide (NMMO) at 80, 90 and 100 degrees C. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameters, chi, calculated from these data as a function of phi, the volume fraction of NMMO, are negative at all concentrations; at low phi, they decrease by more than a factor of 2 as T is raised, whereas they remain almost unchanged as phi approaches unity. Accordingly, the heat of mixing is pronouncedly endothermal at low NMMO concentrations but close to athermal at low water content. The composition dependence of chi can be equally well described by the Redlich-Kister equation and by an approach subdividing the mixing process int…
