Zur Bedeutungsdifferenzierung des Wortes 'peace'

Der Beitrag untersucht, wie Bewußtseinsbeeinflussung vermittels Sprache, d. h. durch Texte, ihre Art und Weise der Gestaltung und des verwendeten Wortschatzes, geschieht. Anhand einer linguistischen Analyse von Texten aus amerikanischen und britischen Zeitschriften aus dem Jahre 1983, in denen es um die sowjetisch-amerikanischen Beziehungen, die Genfer Verhandlungen über Mittelstreckenraketen und um die Friedensbewegung in Westeuropa geht, wird die Bedeutungsfixierung bzw. Veränderung politischer Lexeme am Beispiel des Wortes ,peace' dargestellt. Es wird aufgezeigt, daß vom Standpunkt der bürgerlichen Ideologie aus das Wort ,peace' je nach Kontext in einer negativen wie positiven Bedeutung gebraucht wird, so daß zur Zeit zwei verschiedene prototypische Bedeutungen von ,peace' im bürgerlichen Sprachgebrauch zu finden sind. Welche Bedeutung letztlich Allgemeingut wird und somit Folgen für das Lexikonwort haben wird, ist heute noch nicht absehbar. Doch zeigt die Textanalyse zumindest ansatzweise die Absicht der westlichen Medien, Bewußtseinsbeeinflussung im Sinne der Ideologie des Imperialismus zu betreiben.

Umgang mit Informationen und Meinungsbildung in Projekten

Informationsverarbeitung und Meinungsbildung in Projektgruppen sind mit besonderen Herausforderungen verbunden, um die für Projekte typischen, neuartigen und komplexen Aufgaben erfolgreich zu bewältigen. Mit Hilfe organizations- und sozialpsychologischer Forschungsergebnisse erläutern wir Mechanismen und Strategien der kollektiven Informationsverarbeitung, die fürdenUmgang mit Information und Meinungsbildung in Projekten wichtig sind.

Potential for broad range multiplexing of fibre Bragg gratings in polymer optical fibres and operation in the 700-nm wavelength range

Refractive index and structural characteristics of optical polymers are strongly influenced by the thermal history of the material. Polymer optical fibres (POF) are drawn under tension, resulting in axial orientation of the polymer molecular chains due to their susceptibility to align in the fibre direction. This change in orientation from the drawing process results in residual strain in the fibre and also affects the transparency and birefringence of the material (1-3). PMMA POF has failure strain as high as over 100%. POF has to be drawn under low tension to achieve this value. The drawing tension affects the magnitude of molecular alignment along the fibre axis, thus affecting the failure strain. The higher the tension the lower the failure stain will be. However, the properties of fibre drawn under high tension can approach that of fibre drawn under low tension by means of an annealing process. Annealing the fibre can generally optimise the performance of POF while keeping most advantages intact. Annealing procedures can reduce index difference throughout the bulk and also reduce residual stress that may cause fracture or distortion. POF can be annealed at temperatures approaching the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer to produce FBG with a permanent blue Bragg wave-length shift at room temperature. At this elevated temperature segmental motion in the structure results in a lower viscosity. The material softens and the molecular chains relax from the axial orientation causing shrinking of the fibre. The large attenuation of typically 1dB/cm in the 1550nm spectral region of PMMA POF has limited FBG lengths to less than 10cm. The more expensive fluorinated polymers with lower absorption have had no success as FBG waveguides. Bragg grating have been inscribed onto various POF in the 800nm spectral region using a 30mW continuous wave 325nm helium cadmium laser, with a much reduced attenuation coefficient of 10dB/m (5). Fabricating multiplexed FBGs in the 800nm spectral region in TOPAS and PMMA POF consistently has lead to fabrication of multiplexed FBG in the 700nm spectral region by a method of prolonged annealing. The Bragg wavelength shift of gratings fabricated in PMMA fibre at 833nm and 867nm was monitored whilst the POF was thermally annealed at 80°C. Permanent shifts exceeding 80nm into the 700nm spectral region was attained by both gratings on the fibre. The large permanent shift creates the possibility of multiplexed Bragg sensors operating over a broad range. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

Evidence for the surface-catalyzed suzuki-miyaura reaction over palladium nanoparticles:an operando XAS study

No need to get away: X-ray absorption spectroscopy of catalytically active palladium nanopartlcles during a SuzukiMlyaura cross-coupling reaction revealed that the nanopartlcles were stable under the reaction conditions, and that cross-coupling Involved the direct participation of surface palladium defect sites In the catalytic cycle (see picture). Selective chemical and structural poisons provided further evidence for a heterogeneous active site. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KCaA.

Quantitative interpretation of diffusion-ordered NMR spectra:can we rationalize small molecule diffusion coefficients?

Appealingly simple: A new method is described that allows the diffusion coefficient of a small molecule to be estimated given only the molecular weight and the viscosity of the solvent used. This method makes possible the quantitative interpretation of the diffusion domain of diffusion-ordered NMR spectra (see picture). © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
