Franz Werfel Family Correspondence 1925-1947 Bulk dates: 1940-1944
No full textThis collection consists primarily of Werfel family correspondence from 1940-1947. Letters and telegraphs mainly document Franz and Alma Werfel's escape from France to the United States, and the efforts of Franz's sisters Marianne Rieser and Hanna Fuchs-Robettin to help their parents escape Europe by way of France and Portugal. Additional correspondence concerns Ferdinand Rieser's work at the Zurich Schaupielhaus, and the collection also contains a typescript of the Marianne Rieser play "Your Problem Please."Author Franz Werfel (1890-1945) was born in Prague to the glove merchant Rudolph Werfel. He had two sisters, playwright Marianne Amalie Rieser (1899-1965) and Hanna Fuchs-Robettin (1896-1964). Werfel was educated in Prague, and from 1915 to 1917 he served in the Austrian army on the Russian front. After the war he settled in Vienna and worked as a full-time writer. His novels were especially popular in England and in the United States. In Vienna he met Alma Mahler-Gropius (1879-1964), the widow of the composer Gustav Mahler. At that time she was married to the architect Walter Gropius. She divorced Gropius and went to live with Werfel; they were married in 1929. The Werfels lived in Austria until 1938, when the Anschluss forced them into exile. After travelling from France to Spain, they settled in the United States in 1940. Franz Werfel died in Beverly Hills, California, on August 26, 1945, in the middle of his work, correcting galley proof of his last book of verse.Alma Schindler was born in Vienna in 1879 as the daughter of the landscape painter Emil Jakob Schindler. She studied with the composer Alexander von Zemlinsky and in 1902 married Gustav Mahler. In 1915, she married the architect Walter Gropius; the couple separated in 1918. In 1929, she married Franz Werfel. She died in New York in 1964.On permanent loan from Judaica Conservancy FoundationProcesseddigitize

Transmission Bender as an Analyzer Device for MIEZE
No full textMIEZE (Modulation of IntEnsity with Zero Effort) spectroscopy is a high-resolution spin echo technique optimized for the study of magnetic samples and samples under depolarizing conditions. It requires a polarization analyzer in between spin flippers and the sample position. For this, the device needs to be compact and insensitive to stray fields from large magnetic fields at the sample position. For MIEZE, in small angle scattering geometry, it is further essential that the analyzer does not affect the beam profile, divergence, or trajectory. Here, we compare different polarization analyzers for MIEZE and show the performance of the final design, a transmission bender, which we compare to McStas simulations. Commissioning experiments have uncovered spurious scattering in the scattering profile of the bender, which most likely originates from double Bragg scattering in bent silicon
A psychoanalysis study in the main character representing franz kafka as the author in metamorphosis novella
No full textNurul Atikah, A Psychoanalysis Study In The Main Character Representing Franz Kafka As The Author In Metamorphosis Novella. Dibimbing oleh Herland Franley Manalu dan Diana Anggraeni. Penelitian ini menganalisa kondisi psikologis dari karakter utama yaitu Gregor samsa dalam metamorphosis yang ditulis oleh seorang eksistensialis yaitu Franz Kafka pada tahun 1912. Kondisi psikologis tersebut yang membentuk kepribadian karakter tersebut berupa kecemasan, kegalauan, dan kesedihan bisa sejalan dengan motivasi pengarang yang dilihat dari biography nya dan kondisi eksistensialis pengarang yang dituangkan didalam karya sastra ini. Di dalam cerita tersebut, penelitian ini menganalisa kepribadian karakter utama yaitu Gregor Samsa sebagai objek penelitian menggunakan teori kepribadian Id, Ego dan Superego dari Sigmund Freud kemudian mengaitkan relasi antara kepribadiaan karakter utama dengan pengalaman kehidupan Franz Kafka sebagai pengarang melalui psikologi sastra tentang psikologi pengarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif analisis naratif yang merepresentasikan informasi dalam bentuk narasi dan dialog sebagai objek dari penelitian. Adapun isi dari analisis, sebagai berikut; (1) Kondisi kepribadian Gregor Samsa yang mengalami kegalauan, kecemasan, kesedihan dengan kehidupannya yang dipetakan melalui dialog dan monolog(2) Kepribadian Gregor Samsa yang dijelaskan dalam aliran karya sastra Kafka disebut sebagai Kafkaesque (3) Membuktikan pada kesimpulan melalui data yang telah dikumpulkan bahwa kondisipsikologis yang dialami oleh Gregor Samsa merupakan cerminan dari kehidupan Franz Kafka sebagai pengarang. Sebagai seorang pengarang, karya sastra Franz Kafka merepresentasikan konteks sosial pada era itu bahkan masih relevan sampai sekarang dalam tema-tema eksistensial seperti itu
Higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion
No full textThe book is devoted to the theory of topological higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion in K-theory. The author defines the higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion based on Volodin's K-theory and Borel's regulator map. He describes its properties and generalizations and studies the relation between the higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion and other torsions used in K-theory: Whitehead torsion and Ray-Singer torsion. He also presents methods of computing higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion, illustrates them with numerous examples, and describes various applications of higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion, particularly for the study of homology of mapping class groups. Packed with up-to-date information, the book provides a unique research and reference tool for specialists working in algebraic topology and K-theory
Melathra huyenae Franz, new species
No full text<p> <b> <i>Melathra huyenae</i> Franz, new species</b> (Figs. 1–14)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> <i>Melathra huyenae</i> is diagnosed by the following combination of traits: integument black, legs dark reddish brown; scales predominantly pale white, grey-silver to tan or brown, yet turquoise metallic on the rostrum, and with two conspicuous sub-elliptical patches of rusty brown metallic scales on anteromesal edges of elytra. The post-epistomal region is not distinctly depressed, and the median rostral sulcus is short and not narrowly linear. The head has a postocular constriction. The profemur is toothed, whereas the female metatibia has neither a row of teeth nor a mucro. The humeri are not well-developed. The female declivity bears a mesal tuft of suberect scales. The female sternum is VIII elliptical (Fig. 10) and the corpus of the spermatheca is swollen (Fig. 12). The male median lobe has a strongly sclerotized flagellum and paired anterior, narrowly plicate sclerites (Fig. 14). Further differential traits are provided in the genus-level diagnosis.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> General morphological characteristics and measurements as specified in genus-level account above. Post-epistomal area of rostrum with more widely spaced, bluish or pale turquoise metallic scales, thereafter with contiguous pale silver/grey to brown scales typically forming alternating linear stripes along dorsal surface of rostrum (Figs. 1, 5). Body surface primarily covered with homogeneously intermixed pale white to grey-silver and variously brown scales, resulting in uniform dark brown appearance without magnification; patches of rusty (to orange) brown metallic scales present on lateral sides of pronotum, thoracic and abdominal sterna, and elytra as well as 2 distinct sub-elliptical patches of such scales in mesal anterior corners of elytra (Figs. 1, 4). Lateral and ventral sides of rostrum, head, and femora (particularly on lateral sides near region of ventral tooth) more frequently with pale white scales (Figs. 2, 3). Setae short, lobulate, recurved, rusty brown and inconspicuous except on nasal plate, femora, ventral sides of tibiae (particular male metatibiae), and ventral sternites.</p> <p> <b>Variation.</b> Other than substantive differences in body size, there is little apparent variation among specimens in terms of shape, surface structure, and coloration. Macroscopic differences in color patterns are largely due to varying levels of scale abrasion; worn specimens show more parts of the underlying black integument.</p> <p> <b>Type Material.</b> H o l o t y p e f e m a l e “D. R. [Dominican Republic] Pedernales [Province], Las Cuevas, Bahía de las Aguilas Station, afternoon & night collecting (incl.

Thomas ” (8 males, 6 females); “ DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Pedernales Prov. [ince], Cabo Rojo, 21-V-1992, M. C. Thomas (4 males, 4 females).</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Named to acknowledge the author’ s love and appreciation for his best friend and greatest supporter, Huyen Dotran.</p> <p> <b>Natural History.</b> Numerous specimens of <i>M. huyenae</i> were collected while beating shrubby plants at night along trails in the coastal dry forest (“main platform”) of the Jaragua National Park, near the Bahía de las Águlas Station, at only 40 m above sea level (Fig. 15; see also León <i>et al.</i> 2011). The host plant associations remain unknown. No additional specimens were taken while collecting repeatedly on similar vegetation at higher elevations, <i>i.e.</i> moving uphill from Carretera 44 along the Carretera Cabo Rojo to Aceitillar, thus suggesting that <i>M. huyenae</i> is narrowly restricted to the coastal zone of the Jaragua National Park. Similarly, narrowly endemic species are reported for the phylogenetically and ecologically related Greater Antillean genera <i>Apotomoderes, Artipus,</i> and <i>Scelianoma</i> Franz and Girón (Woodruff 1985; Franz and Girón 2009; Franz 2010a).</p>Published as part of <i>Franz, Nico M., 2011, Melathra Huyenae Franz, A New Genus And New Species Of Entimine Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae) From Southwestern Hispaniola, pp. 352-362 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 65 (4)</i> on pages 359-360, DOI: 10.1649/072.065.0406, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10085403">http://zenodo.org/record/10085403</a>
