Mediaş Jewish Community Photograph Collection 1900-1930s bulk: undated

The collection contains more than 60 black and white photographs from the first decades of the 20th century found in the synagogue of Mediaş (Mediasch, Medgyes), Romania. The photographs were found in the process of an on-going clean-up and restoration project and for the most part are unidentified. The photographs are of community members and their relatives and friends; they consist of group family portraits, individual portraits, babies, and children. Some of the photographs originate from Mediaş and other nearby Transylvanian towns, while others were printed by foreign printing shops and were presumably sent to relatives living in Mediaş.

Feature extraction for fingerprint classification

This paper presents two algorithms for smoothing and feature extraction for fingerprint classification. Deutsch's(2) Thinning algorithm (rectangular array) is used for thinning the digitized fingerprint (binary version). A simple algorithm is also suggested for classifying the fingerprints. Experimental results obtained using such algorithms are presented.

Hur mycket IKT behöver en studerande? Virtuelle kurskonzepte und ihre auswirkungen auf leistung, zufriedenheit und arbeitsstrategien

In dem vorliegenden Aufsatz wird eine vergleichende Untersuchung eines Deutschkurses (Tyska V: Interkulturelle Themen) an der Schwedischen Wirtschaftsuniversität Helsinki (Hanken) präsentiert, der im Jahr 2002 vollständig virtuell und im Jahr 2003 mit virtuellen Lernphasen und Kontaktunterricht im Wechsel realisiert wurde, wobei sich das virtuelle Kursmaterial jeweils in der Lernumgebung WebCT befand. In der Untersuchung werden die Leistungen, die Kursevaluationen und die Arbeitsstrategien der Studierenden in den beiden Kurskonzepten analysiert und miteinander verglichen. In Bezug auf die Leistungen der Studierenden hat sich gezeigt, dass die guten Studierenden in beiden Kurskonzepten gleich gute Ergebnisse erzielen. Die Untersuchung zeigt jedoch, dass der Kontaktunterricht des teils-virtuellen Kurskonzeptes gerade für die schwächeren Studierenden eine wichtige Funktion erfüllt – die schwächeren Studierenden erzielen im Kurskonzept mit Kontaktunterricht deutlich bessere Ergebnisse als die schwächeren Studierenden im ganz virtuellen Kurskonzept. Ein Vergleich der Arbeitsstrategien zeigt, dass die schwächeren Studierenden im Unterschied zu den guten Studierenden deutliche Schwierigkeiten mit dem Zeit- und Materialmanagement haben. Für die Weiterentwicklung des Kurskonzeptes sind zum einen die technischen Rahmenbedingungen zu verbessern, und zum anderen muss der Kontaktunterricht neu überdacht werden, da die Einführung des Themas Arbeitsstrategien in der virtuellen Lernumgebung als eigenständiger Themenbereich dringend notwendig erscheint.

Geometric quantum computation using fictitious spin-1/2 subspaces of strongly dipolar coupled nuclear spins

Geometric phases have been used in NMR to implement controlled phase shift gates for quantum-information processing, only in weakly coupled systems in which the individual spins can be identified as qubits. In this work, we implement controlled phase shift gates in strongly coupled systems by using nonadiabatic geometric phases, obtained by evolving the magnetization of fictitious spin-1/2 subspaces, over a closed loop on the Bloch sphere. The dynamical phase accumulated during the evolution of the subspaces is refocused by a spin echo pulse sequence and by setting the delay of transition selective pulses such that the evolution under the homonuclear coupling makes a complete 2 pi rotation. A detailed theoretical explanation of nonadiabatic geometric phases in NMR is given by using single transition operators. Controlled phase shift gates, two qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, and parity algorithm in a qubit-qutrit system have been implemented in various strongly dipolar coupled systems obtained by orienting the molecules in liquid crystal media.

Khα1,2 hypersatellites of 3d transition metals and their photoexcitation energy dependence

Hollow atoms in which the K shell is empty while the outer shells are populated allow studying a variety of important and unusual properties of atoms. The diagram x-ray emission lines of such atoms, the K-h alpha(1,2) hypersatellites (HSs), were measured for the 3d transition metals, Z=23-30, with a high energy resolution using photoexcitation by monochromatized synchrotron radiation. Good agreement with ab initio relativistic multiconfigurational Dirac-Fock calculations was found. The measured HS intensity variation with the excitation energy yields accurate values for the excitation thresholds, excludes contributions from shake-up processes, and indicates domination near threshold of a nonshake process. The Z variation of the HS shifts from the diagram line K alpha(1,2), the K-h alpha(1)-K-h alpha(2) splitting, and the K-h alpha(1)/K-h alpha(2) intensity ratio, derived from the measurements, are also discussed with a particular emphasis on the QED corrections and Breit interaction.

K -shell diagram and hypersatellite spectra of 4d transition elements

The K-shell diagram (K alpha(1,2) and K beta(1,3)) and hypersatellite (HS) (K-h alpha(1,2)) spectra of Y, Zr, Mo, and Pd have been measured with high energy-resolution using photoexcitation by 90 keV synchrotron radiation. Comparison of the measured and ab initio calculated HS spectra demonstrates the importance of quantum electrodynamical (QED) effects for the HS spectra. Phenomenological fits of the measured spectra by Voigt functions yield accurate values for the shift of the HS from the diagram lines, the splitting of the HS lines, and their intensity ratio. Good agreement with theory was found for all quantities except for the intensity ratio, which is dominated by the intermediacy of the coupling of the angular momenta. The observed deviations imply that our current understanding of the variation of the coupling scheme from LS to jj across the periodic table may require some revision.

In dieses Untersuchungsspektrum wurden 1990 Miesmuscheln (Mytilus edulis) aus der inneren Deutschen Bucht einbezogen, um im Rahmen eines deutsch-dänischen Gemeinschaftsprogramms weitergehende Informationen über Schadstoffbelastungen küstennaher Areale zu gewinnen.

O discurso do capitalista e a cultura do mal-estar

A presente dissertação de mestrado pretende abordar as vicissitudes do discurso do capitalista sobre o sujeito. Para tanto, toma como ponto de partida a afirmação de Lacan, em suas palestras em Saint-Anne sobre O saber do psicanalista, de que o que caracteriza o discurso do capitalista é a foraclusão da castração. A partir dessa colocação representada no matema do discurso do capitalista pelo desaparecimento da disjunção entre produto e verdade, bem como pela ausência de um vetor entre agente e Outro, o que demonstra que esse discurso não promove laço social , percorre-se algumas questões que reverberam sobre o sujeito, dentre as quais se destaca: se o sujeito não existe fora do laço social, que sorte de efeitos a ele resulta por freqüentar um discurso que se apresenta como dominante na contemporaneidade em que a castração está foracluída e, portanto, também o liame social? Tendo em vista que a Verwerfung é o que opera no discurso do capitalista, lança-se a hipótese de que a esquizofrenização no nível do discurso resulte na propagação do que Helene Deutsch convencionou chamar de como se. Esse fenômeno surgiria como uma suplência imaginária a que recorreria o sujeito como estabilização face aos efeitos decorrentes da foraclusão da castração no discurso do capitalista. Trata-se de um discurso psicotizante que, ao contrário dos quatro discursos apresentados por Lacan no seminário O avesso da psicanálise, não promove laço social. Se discurso é o que faz laço social e Freud, em 1930, anunciara que a principal fonte de sofrimento de que padece o homem é a relação com os demais, o mal-estar na civilização é o mal-estar dos laços sociais. Logo, os quatro discursos participam do mal-estar na civilização. Ao contrário destes, o discurso do capitalista, na tentativa de eliminar o mal-estar, foraclui o laço social. Por promover o gozo ao invés da renúncia à pulsão, o discurso do capitalista acaba por instigá-la. E, como toda pulsão é pulsão de morte, não é outra coisa senão o empuxo mortífero ao gozo que o discurso do capitalismo produz. A potência que o discurso do capitalista adquiriu na contemporaneidade é analisada a partir de sua íntima relação com o discurso da ciência. A partir de algumas colocações de Hannah Arendt acerca da banalidade do mal presente em um sistema totalitário como o nazista, cogita-se a hipótese de que a aliança entre os discursos do capitalista e da ciência resulte no surgimento de uma nova forma de totalitarismo: o totalitarismo de consumo.
