Tino, Peter; Spatial representation of symbolic sequences through iterative function systems: (in English) Jeffrey proposed a graphic representation of DNA sequences using Barnsley's iterative function systems. In spite of further developments in this direction (Oliver et. al, 1993), (Roman-Roldan et. al, 1994), (Li, 1997), the proposed graphic representation of DNA sequences has been lacking a rigorous connection between its spatial scaling characteristics and the statistical characteristics of the DNA sequences themselves. We 1) generalize Jeffrey's graphic representation to accommodate (possibly infinite) sequences over an arbitrary finite number of symbols, 2) establish a direct correspondence between the statistical characterization of symbolic sequences via Renyi entropy spectra and the multifractal characteristics (Renyi generalized dimensions) of the sequences' spatial representations, 3) show that for general symbolic dynamical systems, the multifractal fH-spectra in the sequence space coincide with the fH-spectra on spatial sequence representations.

Gregory R. Crane, David A. Smith, Clifford E. Wulfman; Building a Hypertextual Digital Library in the Humanities: A Case Study on London: (in English) This paper describes the creation of a new humanities digital library collection: 11,000,000 words and 10,000 images representing books, images and maps on pre-twentieth century London and its environs. The London collection contained far more dense and precise information than the materials from the Greco-Roman world on which we had previously concentrated. The London collection thus allowed us to explore new problems of data structure, manipulation, and visualization. This paper contrasts our model for how humanities digital libraries are best used with the assumptions that underlie many academic digital libraries on the one hand and more literary hypertexts on the other. Since encoding guidelines such as those from the TEI provide collection designers with far more options than any one project can realize, this paper describes what structures we used to organize the collection and why. We particularly emphasize the importance of mining historical authority lists (encyclopedias, gazetteers, etc.) and then generating automatic span-to-span links within the collection. [Text] (0.75)

Reminiscences, memoirs, and lectures of Monsignor A. Ravoux, V. G: (in English) Monsignor Augustin Ravoux (1815-1906) emigrated from France in 1838, responding to the plea of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Dubuque, Iowa, for missionaries among the Indians. His first mission was at Prairie du Chien, where he remained until he began ministering to the Sioux [Dakota] Indians in 1841. During his time with the Sioux, 1841-1844, he became proficient in their language and developed a permanent mission at Little Prairie (now Chaska). Between 1844 and 1851, Ravoux also ministered to communities at Mendota, St. Paul, Lake Pipin, and St. Croix. Ravoux divides his book into three sections: reminiscences and memoirs comprise the first; lectures he delivered comprise the second; and miscellaneous letters, lectures, and essays (usually written by other authors) comprise the third. The reminiscences and memoirs cover the period from 1838-1862 and conclude with his ministry to Sioux condemned to death for their part in the 1862 Sioux uprising. [Text] (4.10)

Claudia Kozinetz, Rodica Matusa, Andreaa Cazacu; The burden of pediatric HIV/AIDS in Constanta, Romania: a cross-sectional study: (in English) AbstractBackgroundBy 1990, 94 percent of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases in Romania were in children less than 13 years of age. The majority of the cases were identified in the city of Constanta. The purpose of this paper was to describe the current burden of pediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the Constanta county.MethodsA cross-sectional study was designed to address the primary objective. Between April 1999 and March 2000, all living cases of pediatric HIV infection in the Constanta county were identified from records at the HIV hospital clinic which serves the Constanta county. Standard demographic, social, clinical, treatment and hospitalization data were collected for each study subject. Data were analyzed according to cross-sectional study design methodology.ResultsOf the 762 subjects, the majority were seven to 11 years of age, lived with their parents and attended school. Only 70% of the fathers and 13% of the mothers were employed. Horizontal transmission accounted for 90% of the cases. Most of the children had moderate to severe disease as indicated by their AIDS-defining signs; 40% had AIDS. Less than half of the children were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART and children of mothers with a high school or greater education were independent predictors of long-term non-progression of HIV disease.ConclusionsThis cross-sectional study demonstrated that ten years after the HIV epidemic was identified in Romania, it remains a health and economic burden. The infected children are very ill, but ART is not available for all. The proportion with vertical transmission has increased from an estimated four % to nine %. Our findings support the need to get HIV therapy to economically challenged countries such as Romania. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.72)
Danilov, Roman A, Ekelund, Nils GA; Effects of Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ and pentachlorophenol on photosynthesis and motility in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in short-term exposure experiments: (in English) AbstractBackgroundHeavy metals, especially copper, nickel, lead and zinc, have adverse effects on terrestrial and in aquatic environments. However, their impact can vary depending on the nature of organisms. Taking into account the ability of heavy metals to accumulate in sediments, extended knowledge of their effects on aquatic biota is needed. In this context the use of model organisms (often unicellular), which allows for rapid assessment of pollutants in freshwater, can be of advantage. Pentachlorophenol has been extensively used for decades as a bleaching agent by pulp- and paper industry. Pentachlorophenol tends to accumulate in the nature. We aim to determine if photosynthesis and motility can be used as sensitive physiological parameters in toxicological studies of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a motile green unicellular alga. It is discussed if photosynthesis and motility can be used as sensitive physiological parameters in toxicological studies.ResultsThe concentrations studied ranged from 0.1 to 2.0 mg l-1 for copper, nickel, lead and zinc, and from 0.1 to 10.0 mg l-1 for pentachlorophenol. Exposure time was set to 24 h. Copper and pentachlorophenol turned out to be especially toxic for photosynthetic efficiency (PE) in C. reinhardtii.ConclusionCopper and pentachlorophenol turned out to be especially toxic for PE in C. reinhardtii. Zinc has been concluded to be moderately toxic while nickel and lead had stimulatory effects on the PE. Because of high variance, motility was not considered a reliable physiological parameter when assessing toxicity of the substances using C. reinhardtii. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.23)
Yuri Wolf, Igor Rogozin, Nick Grishin, Roman Tatusov, Eugene Koonin; Genome trees constructed using five different approaches suggest new major bacterial clades: (in English) AbstractBackgroundThe availability of multiple complete genome sequences from diverse taxa prompts the development of new phylogenetic approaches, which attempt to incorporate information derived from comparative analysis of complete gene sets or large subsets thereof. Such attempts are particularly relevant because of the major role of horizontal gene transfer and lineage-specific gene loss, at least in the evolution of prokaryotes.ResultsFive largely independent approaches were employed to construct trees for completely sequenced bacterial and archaeal genomes: i) presence-absence of genomes in clusters of orthologous genes; ii) conservation of local gene order (gene pairs) among prokaryotic genomes; iii) parameters of identity distribution for probable orthologs; iv) analysis of concatenated alignments of ribosomal proteins; v) comparison of trees constructed for multiple protein families. All constructed trees support the separation of the two primary prokaryotic domains, bacteria and archaea, as well as some terminal bifurcations within the bacterial and archaeal domains. Beyond these obvious groupings, the trees made with different methods appeared to differ substantially in terms of the relative contributions of phylogenetic relationships and similarities in gene repertoires caused by similar life styles and horizontal gene transfer to the tree topology. The trees based on presence-absence of genomes in orthologous clusters and the trees based on conserved gene pairs appear to be strongly affected by gene loss and horizontal gene transfer. The trees based on identity distributions for orthologs and particularly the tree made of concatenated ribosomal protein sequences seemed to carry a stronger phylogenetic signal. The latter tree supported three potential high-level bacterial clades,: i) Chlamydia-Spirochetes, ii) Thermotogales-Aquificales (bacterial hyperthermophiles), and ii) Actinomycetes-Deinococcales-Cyanobacteria. The latter group also appeared to join the low-GC Gram-positive bacteria at a deeper tree node. These new groupings of bacteria were supported by the analysis of alternative topologies in the concatenated ribosomal protein tree using the Kishino-Hasegawa test and by a census of the topologies of 132 individual groups of orthologous proteins. Additionally, the results of this analysis put into question the sister-group relationship between the two major archaeal groups, Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota, and suggest instead that Euryarchaeota might be a paraphyletic group with respect to Crenarchaeota.ConclusionsWe conclude that, the extensive horizontal gene flow and lineage-specific gene loss notwithstanding, extension of phylogenetic analysis to the genome scale has the potential of uncovering deep evolutionary relationships between prokaryotic lineages.

Ginis, Roman; Optimal Distributed Resource Allocation: We present and explore the problem of automatic distributed resource allocation for a large scale system operating on the basic principles of a free market economy. We model such environment as a resource allocation problem where the producers and consumers are numerous distributed entities controlled by different interests that trade resource time to achieve their goals and maximize their individual objective functions. A consumer specifies her problem in terms of a graph of resource types that describes temporal relationships between the resources. A resource type is expressed by a predicate that establishes the necessary properties that a resource needs to satisfy to be used in a solution. The consumer also specifies an objective function in terms of the resource type attributes, that needs to be maximized while searching for a solution. A feasible reservation on the part of a consumer, is a set of resources each of which satisfies the required constraints of its type and is available at such times as dictated by the temporal execution order specified by the graph. We present two polynomial-time algorithms for finding feasible and optimal reservation plans. We also introduce a method to perform a distributed atomic transaction to commence the reservation of the chosen resources. The transaction method is based oil the call-option financial instrument that is well suited for the problem. Finally we show how to use these algorithms to solve the problems in crisis management applications. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.35)

GERGEN IOSIF, IANOS GHEORGHE, LUCIA ILIS; SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LOADING WITH HEAVY METALS IN THE CITY OF TIMISOARA: The great majority of the soils from urban agglomerations are constituted of important or processed materials and deposited of appreciate thickness on that place or on other lands. Most of these materials have a mineral origin, made of rocks and building residual, different industrial or house garbage's or other garbage's which come from different sources, some of them with a high risk of toxicity. Part of these materials have been deposited in mediums which favored polluant accumulation, others were deposited in conditions of natural epuration so that finally the antrosoils have evoluted in different qualitative conditions. The work also has in view the study of these situation in some towns from the south-west part of Romania with the suggest and agree for the introduction of some new taxonomic divisions in the case of the highly antropic remaniated soils. The geogenous fund of the area plays an important role in the accumulation of heavy metals, but the physical and chemical characteristics of the rocks and soils condition the spreading of the chemical elements on the horizontal and vertical space.

I examine the implications of this statement in the light of Pouillonns earlier Temps et Roman, a theory of the novel published in 1946. The fact is that if we know for certain what meaning to attach to categoremes (content words) we hardly know how to express the meaning of syncategoremes (structure words).

Schulze, Kai; Ni/Mg/Al catalysts derived from hydrotalcite-type precursors for the partial oxidation of propane - Ni/Mg/Al-Katalysatoren hergestellt aus hydrotalkitartigen Prekursoren fur die partielle Oxiadtion von Propan: Prof. Dr. Gunter Geismar, Prof. Dr. Roman Dziembaj (Universitat Krakau); (in German) Ni/Mg/Al containing anionic clays of hydrotalcite-type structure with varying Ni/Mg ratio and constant Al content were synthesised by coprecipitation. Their composition and structure was determined by elemental analysis, XRD, TG-MS and DSC. Their calcination at 700-1000°C resulted in the transformation into the corresponding mixed metal oxides, with their structure depending on the calcination temperature. Temperature programmed reduction/oxidation and high temperature XRD studies were applied to study their reducibility, Ni dispersion and the oxidation of the formed metallic nickel particles. The partial oxidation of propane to syngas could be successfully performed at temperatures between 600 and 900°C over reduced Ni containing catalysts. The conversion of propane and the yield of syngas increased with increasing reaction temperature. The catalysts with a low to medium Ni content exhibited better catalytic performance than those with a higher Ni content or a conventional steam reforming catalyst used as reference. Coking was found to decrease with increasing reaction temperature and to increase with increasing Ni content. Since several factors characterising the catalysts (BET surface area, Mg content and available Ni surface) follow the same or the opposite trend with the Ni content, it was impossible to differentiate between these properties and their effect on the catalyst performance or coking. By the use of the best catalyst an at least two-fold increase in the yield of carbon monoxide and eight-fold increase in the yield of hydrogen was observed compared with the non-catalytic reaction. Further investigations were performed to study the influence of the feed ratio and the space velocity. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.32)

Rustici, Craig; Glass Houses: Why the Subjects of Queen Elizabeth Avoided the Subject of Pope Joan: This lecture (delivered as the 21st Hofstra University Distinguished Faculty Lecture on October 10, 2001) investigates why sixteenth-century English printers published extraordinarily few texts devoted to the sensational exploits of Pope Joan, an apocryphal, medieval woman who allegedly disguised herself as a man and became a Roman Catholic pontiff. An explanation lies in the troubling comparisons that English exiles and hostile foreign observers drew between the public careers and personal lives of Pope Joan and Queen Elizabeth I of England. Royal ceremonies, the Queen's ecclesiastical role, and the recurrent tropes of anti-Elizabethan propaganda all lent credibility to the charge that Elizabeth, "Supreme Governor" of the Church of England, acted as "ceste nouvelle Papesse." The popess analogy cast doubt on the legitimacy of Elizabeth's unprecedented reign as an unmarried English queen and, consequently, threatened to inspire sedition among her (sometimes restless) subjects. Not surprisingly, then, printers operating within the reach of the Queen's government chose to handle the Pope Joan legend with care. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.01)

Solving problems relating to software systems as well as non-software systems are influenced by current methodologies and methods object analysis and system project. A good CASE tool must be able to meet all requirements of users as they change. Meta CASE systems are interesting just because of their flexibility namely not only in time aspect (in regard to changes resulted from continual system development during time) but also concerning to different requirements of different users - ability meet requirements of large spectrum of users is achieved by supporting multiple methods and tools, their customisability and even facility to create userNs own methods.

Dombois, Florian; Uber Erdbeben - Ein Versuch zur Erweiterung seismologischer Darstellungsweisen: (in German) The dissertation in hand is engaged in the understanding and cognition of earthquakes. Essentially it is the attempt to draw near the natural phenomenon and to broaden our conception of it: (i) What actually is an earthquake? What makes it up? Why might it be fascinating? (ii) How were and how are earthquakes depicted in the textual and pictoral tradition in Europe? (iii) How is the form of depiction related to the content 'earthquake'? How does the phenomenon change when the form of depiction is altered? (iv) And last not least: which form seems to be most suitable for the depiction of an earthquake? According to the above questions 16 'earthquake-depictions' are sampled to investigate the relation between form and content. The attempt is made to provide a collection of great diversity in form: Today's usual manner of earthquake depiction is represented by the reaction, the earthquake of Kobe has received (§ 13 seismological article, § 14 press releases, § 15 earthquake simulator in the Natural History Museum London); then there are chosen: two samples of the Old Greek tradition (§ 1 myth of Poseidon, § 2 Aristoteles' 'Meteorologica'), further two from the Roman tradition (§ 3 Seneca's 'Naturales Quaestiones', § 4 'Aetna'), and two from the Christian tradition (§ 5 'Bible', § 6 Thomas Aquinas on Aristotle's 'Meteorologica'); furthermore there are some samples looked upon that show reaction on the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 (§ 8 shocking ballads, § 9 Voltaire, § 10 copper engravings of Le Bas, § 11 Immanuel Kant, § 12 John Michell). Last not least the science fiction novel 'Richter 10' by Clarke and McQuay (§ 16) is examined. Finally I complain that the manner of scientific depiction is 'un-sensual' and disposing. Therefore the dissertation is meant to flow into a counter-project. The last chapter scrutinizes the experience of the investigations before under a wider angle. In consequence I suggest to investigate an acoustical transponation of the earth's movements. An example of the new kind of sound that emerges from that is drawn from a 1994 earthquake in Chile. A range of further considerations show that not only the form of the acoustical transformation seems promising but also its content: far from the mainstream of seismological research the new acoustic form renders the question of earthquake prediction in a unusual but new and fairly easy way. All of this results in me hoping that the releasing of this new form of depiction triggers of a new field of scientific research at the same time. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.13)
Nutzel, Gerda; Die Kontextualitat der Theologinnenarbeit - dargestellt am Beispiel der Entwicklung in den lutherischen Kirchen Bayerns, Mecklenburgs und Brasiliens: (in German) The research of the history of female theologians shows the development of women pastors in three lutheran churches living in three different socioeconomic contects of RFA, GDR and Brazil. Based on literal souce mateial and interviews with 20 women pastors of every church surge the historical steps of female participation in the ordainend ministry. At the beginning some women studied theology, looked for individal possibilities to work in the church. The next step has been a special limited form of women ministry until their ful participation of men and women in the ordained ministry happened. In the last years the chances oft the gender is discussed in a feminist view. The summary reflects the importance oft the socioeconomic contect, of the different forms of ecclesiastical instiutions and of the influence of the different convictions in the orthodox churches,. in the roman catholic teaching und in the protestant theology. The result is that the development of female participation in lutheran churches challenges all christians and all churches to inquire their biblical hermeneutic, anthropology and ecclesiology. The history of the female theologians in the lutheran churches provokes a vision of christian unity which includes the ful participation of men and women in the ordained ministry.

Grigoriev, Dima, Karpinski, Marek, Smolensky, Roman; Randomization and the Computational Power of Analytic and Algebraic Decision Trees: We introduce a new powerful method for proving {\it lower bounds} on {\it randomized} and {\it deterministic} analytic decision trees, and give direct applications of our results towards some concrete geometric problems. We design also {\it randomized} algebraic decision trees for recognizing the {\it positive octant} in $\run$ or computing MAX in $\R^{n+1}$ in depth $\log^{\bigO{}(1)}n$. Both problems are known to have linear lower bounds for the depth of any deterministic analytic decision tree recognizing them. The main {\em new} (and {\em unifying}) proof idea of the paper is in the reduction technique of the signs of {\em testing} functions in a decision tree to the signs of their {\em leading terms} at the specially chosen points. This allows us to reduce the complexity of a {\em decision} tree to the complexity of a certain {\em boolean} circuit. [Text] (1.30)

Thorner, Klaus; "Der ganze Sudosten ist unser Hinterland": (in German) Mit der Untersuchung von Klaus Thorner liegt erstmals eine Analyse vor, die die deutschen Sudosteuropakonzepte und deren ideologischen Legitimationsmuster vom Kaiserreich uber die Weimarer Republik bis in den Nationalsozialismus im Zusammenhang darstellt und der Frage nach Kontinuitat in den Zielsetzungen und Argumentationsmustern nachgeht. Dabei kommt der Autor zu dem Ergebnis, dass Jugoslawien, Rumanien und Bulgarien seit den Anfangen deutscher Nationalokonomie (1840) bis zu den nationalsozialistischen Grossraumplanen als wesentliche deutsche Expansionsfelder betrachtet wurden. Angestrebt wurde, die Staaten Sudosteuropas in ein bestandiges Abhangigkeitsverhaltnis gegenuber Deutschland zu versetzen. Ihnen wurde die Funktion zugeschrieben, Rohstoffe, Nahrungsmittel und - je nach Bedarf - billige Arbeitskrafte nach Deutschland zu liefern und gleichzeitig als nahezu monopolartig beherrschter Absatzmarkt fur deutsche Industrieprodukte zu fungieren. Die sudosteuropaischen Lander erhielten in den deutschen Konzepten den Status informeller Kolonien, in denen die deutsche Wirtschaft Kontrolle uber Rohstoffe, Ernten, Verkehrswege u. a. gewinnen und die Produktionsstruktur bestimmen sollte. Eine eigenstandige Industrialisierung Sudosteuropas wurde dabei ausgeschlossen. Der deutsche Hegemonialanspruch wurde in zahlreichen Publikationen uber Jahrzehnte hinweg damit begrundet, dass die Bevolkerung Sudosteuropas 'orientalisch', 'barbarisch', 'ruckstandig' und nicht zu eigener Staatenbildung und -organisation fahig sei. Allein Deutschland habe die Mission, diese Lander zu zivilisieren und zu entwickeln. The investigation of Klaus Thorner presents for the first time a coherent view of the economic and ideological German concepts about south-eastern Europe from the beginnings of the German Empire to the period of National-Socialism. The author looks to answer the question if there is continuity in the goals and the forms of argumentation. The analysis arguments that Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria were seen from the beginnings of national economy in Germany (1840) to the national-socialistic 'Grossraum'-plans as essential fields of German expansion. The main goal was to endorse a permanent situation of dependence to these countries. They should supply Germany with raw products, foodstuffs and - according to requirement - of inexpensive workers. At the same time they should serve as an almost monopolistically ruled market for German industrial products. The countries of south-eastern Europe were considered as informal colonies in which German economic elite has to control about raw products, crops, traffic ways etc and to decide about their structure of production. An independent industrialization in south-eastern Europe was excluded. Over decades the German claim for hegemony was legitimated by the description of the south-east European population as 'oriental', 'uncivilized', 'undeveloped' and unable to constitute and organize an own state. The conviction was held that only Germany has the mission to civilize and develop this part of Europe. [Text] (0.21)

Those models are used for robust designs and fabrication development. The sophistication of modern communication systems urged the need of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), which consists of many MESFETs on the same chip. As the chip density increases, the need of accurate MESFET models becomes more pronounced. <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> In this study, a new technique has been developed to extract a 15-element small signal model of MESFET devices. This technique implies the use of three sets of S-parameter measurements at different bias conditions. The technique consists of two major steps; in the first step, some of the bias-independent extrinsic parameters are estimated in preparation for the second step. In the second step, all other parameters should be extracted at the bias point of interest. This technique shows reliable results. Unlike other optimization techniques, our proposed technique shows insensitivity to the unavoidable measurement errors over any frequency range. It shows a unique solution for all parameter values. This technique has been tested on S-parameters of a hypothetical-device model and compared with other optimization-based extraction techniques. Moreover, it has been also applied to GaAsTEK 0.8x300 mm2 MESFETs to extract the model parameters at different bias voltages. The study reveals accurate and consistent results among the similar devices on the same wafer. <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> Some thermal characteristics of the small-signal parameters are discussed.

Klenzendorf, Sybille; Management of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Europe.: Steve L. McMullin, Wolfgang Shroder, Dean F. Stauffer, Michael Vaughan; (in English) Management of Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) in Europe. Sybille A. Klenzendorf (Abstract) Successful conservation of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Europe is associated with public acceptance of damages caused by bears. Recent increases in sheep depredation and beehive damage in central Austria resulted in the deaths of two bears there. Since bear numbers are low in most European populations, alternatives to the elimination of problem bears associated with damage incidents must be sought. The events described above led to the formation of the Bear Management Group responsible for designing a management plan for Austria that will outline procedures for dealing with bear damage and conservation strategies. This study provides an overview of the magnitude and seasonal patterns of brown bear damage in Romania, Italy, Slovenia, Norway, Sweden, and Austria. It also illustrates how bears are managed in European countries by comparing different management strategies for dealing with brown bear damage, describing how bear management is organized, determining which organizations are involved, and explaining which duties these fulfill. Bear damage data were obtained from interviews with wildlife managers, hunters, and farmers in Romania, Italy, Slovenia, Norway, Sweden, and Austria, and from official records of their bear management agencies. Most damage incidents involved sheep and beehives in all countries. All countries offered a more or less well functioning damage compensation program to farmers. Conservation success, especially for small bear populations, seemed to be related to a good compensation program and reducing damage to livestock and property. Possible improvements of management strategies to reduce damage and increase conservation success in theses countries were discussed. The second part of this study was the assessment of the organizational structure of different bear management programs in Europe. Brown bear management in Europe included a broad spectrum of goals, ranging from no protection, to regulated hunting, to total protection. In each country, different organizations were involved in bear management, including private and governmental organizations. For each study country, I outlined which organizations were involved in bear management, determined if a management plan existed, described if and how hunting and damage compensation were structured, explained how each country dealt with problem bears, and finally, detailed what kind of management problems each country encountered. I tried to find management patterns for bear management in Europe, including advantages and disadvantages of each approach and their effectiveness within the countries they were applied. Methods included a content analysis of interviews with wildlife managers, farmers, and local people in each country. Results showed that two general types of management approaches could be identified. Romania, Sweden and Southern Slovenia took a conservationist approach, which was characterized by economic use of their bear population. All of these countries had viable bear populations. Romania and Southern Slovenia included an additional characteristic of feeding bears, which could be viewed as a utilitarian management scheme. The second management approach, which was classified as the preservationist approach, was observed in Norway, Italy, Northern Slovenia, and Austria. This management strategy was characterized by year-long protection of bears, low population numbers, and no feeding of bears. Further results of management differences in problem bear management, damage compensation, public education, and effectiveness of management approaches were summarized. The study provides a reference on bear management strategies in Europe. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.87)
Moser, Misti; Ru(m)inations; A Project in San Lorenzo: Marcia Feuerstein, Howard S. Gartner, Steven Thompson, Joseph Mashburn; (in English) I began with a place, the Roman ruin of San Lorenzo in Milan. This place has been a "provocateur," not an object or a set of parameters from which I responded. Architectural readings of the city are contaminated with foreshadowings or hints of what is yet to appear. One may read the city as "Janus" who pulsates back and forth leaving traces of past cosmogonies which look forward to being remembered. As the "haruspex" regards the liver in order to auspiciously found a city, distinct bodies of the city are "mirrors of the world at the moment of sacrifice." Reading the city as a Janus-faced entity suggests a slippery liminal zone between what is often clearly separated as existing and intervening. The act of drawing the site is also an act of remaking the site. The section of the city is a hieroglyph to be deciphered and "completed." This "completion" is necessary but not absolute.

Flanagan, Eanna E.; Quantum inequalities in two dimensional Minkowski spacetime: We generalize some results of Ford and Roman constraining the possible behaviors of renormalized expected stress-energy tensors of a free massless scalar field in two dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Ford and Roman showed that the energy density measured by an inertial observer, when averaged with respect to that observers proper time by integrating against some weighting function, is bounded below by a negative lower bound proportional to the reciprocal of the square of the averaging timescale. However, the proof required a particular choice for the weighting function. We extend the Ford-Roman result in two ways: (i) We calculate the optimum (maximum possible) lower bound and characterize the state which achieves this lower bound; the optimum lower bound differs by a factor of three from the bound derived by Ford and Roman for their choice of smearing function. (ii) We calculate the lower bound for arbitrary, smooth positive weighting functions. We also derive similar lower bounds on the spatial average of energy density at a fixed moment of time., Comment: 6 pages, no figures, uses revtex 3.1 macros, to appear in Phys Rev D.

Yadigaroglu, I. -A., Romani, Roger W.; Gamma-Ray Pulsars: Beaming Evolution, Stats and Unident. EGRET Sources: We compute the variation of the beaming fraction with the efficiency of high energy gamma-ray production in the outer gap pulsar model of Romani and Yadigaroglu. This allows us to correct the fluxes observed for pulsars in the EGRET band and to derive a simple estimate of the variation of efficiency with age. Integration of this model over the population of young neutron stars gives the expected number of gamma-ray pulsars along with their distributions in age and distance. This model also shows that many of the unidentified EGRET plane sources should be pulsars, and predicts the gamma-ray fluxes of known radio pulsars. The contribution of unresolved pulsars to the background flux in the EGRET band is found to be about 5 %.

Visser, Matt; Traversable wormholes: the Roman ring: In this brief report I introduce a yet another class of geometries for which semi-classical chronology protection theorems are of dubious physical reliability. I consider a Roman ring'' of traversable wormholes, wherein a number of wormholes are arranged in a ring in such a manner that no subset of wormholes is near to chronology violation, though the combined system can be arbitrarily close to chronology violation. I show that (with enough wormholes in the ring) the gravitational vacuum polarization (the expectation value of the quantum stress-energy tensor) can be made arbitrarily small. In particular the back-reaction can be kept arbitrarily small all the way to the reliability horizon''---so that semi-classical quantum gravity becomes unreliable before the gravitational back reaction becomes large., Comment: 4 pages; ReV_TeX 3.0 in twocolumn mode; two line drawings using the LaTeX picture environment; Accepted for publication in Physical Review D15 [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.72)
