Robert Neumann: Mit eigener Feder
No full textRobert Neumann (1897–1957, Austrian exiled author and Vicepresidet of the PEN International, was even a disputatious antifascist political writer. His essays, his letters and biograpical documents give a vivid portrait of the diversity of literary life in Germay and Austria (before 1933/after 1958) and of exile in England (1933–1958).Der österreichische Schriftsteller Robert Neumann (1897–1975), Exilant und Vizepräsident des PEN International, war auch ein streitbarer antifaschistischer Publizist. Seine politisch-literarischen Aufsätze, seine Briefe und biographischen Dokumente ergeben ein lebendiges und facettenreiches Bild des literarischen Lebens in Deutschland und Österreich (vor 1933/nach 1958) und des Exils in England (1933–1958)
Relative Haagerup property for arbitrary von Neumann algebras
No full textWe introduce the relative Haagerup approximation property for a unital, expected inclusion of arbitrary von Neumann algebras and show that if the smaller algebra is finite then the notion only depends on the inclusion itself, and not on the choice of the conditional expectation. Several variations of the definition are shown to be equivalent in this case, and in particular the approximating maps can be chosen to be unital and preserving the reference state. The concept is then applied to amalgamated free products of von Neumann algebras and used to deduce that the standard Haagerup property for a von Neumann algebra is stable under taking free products with amalgamation over finite-dimensional subalgebras. The general results are illustrated by examples coming from q-deformed Hecke-von Neumann algebras and von Neumann algebras of quantum orthogonal groups.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Analysi
A comparison of deflation and the balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioner
No full textIn this paper we compare various preconditioners for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. We compare the well-known balancing Neumann Neumann preconditioner used in domain decomposition methods with a so-called deflation preconditioner. We prove that the effective condition number of the deflated preconditioned system is always, i.e. for all deflation vectors and all restrictions and prolongations, below the condition number of the system preconditioned by the balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioner. Even more, we establish that both preconditioners lead to almost the same spectra. The zero eigenvalues of the deflation preconditioned system are replaced by eigenvalues which are one if the balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioner is used. Moreover, we proved that the A-norm of the errors of the iterates build by the deflation preconditioner is always below the A-norm of the errors of the iterates build by the balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioner. Additionally, the amount of work of one iteration of the de ation preconditioned system is less than the amount of work of one iteration of the balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioned system. Finally, we establish that the deflation preconditioner and the balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioner produces the same iterates if one uses certain starting vectors. Numerical results for porous media flows emphasize the theoretical results.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
‐binding proteins as regulators of cell differentiation
No full textFirst published: 17 March 2022The RNA-binding protein Quaking (QKI) has emerged as a potent regulator of cellular differentiation in developmental and pathological processes. The QKI gene is itself alternatively spliced to produce three major isoforms, QKI-5, QKI-6, and QKI-7, that possess very distinct functions. Here, we highlight roles of the different QKI isoforms in neuronal, vascular, muscle, and monocyte cell differentiation, and during epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer progression. QKI isoforms control cell differentiation through regulating alternative splicing, mRNA stability and translation, with activities in gene transcription now also becoming evident. These diverse functions of the QKI isoforms contribute to their broad influences on RNA metabolism and cellular differentiation.

Funeral of theatre director František Neumann in Brno
No full textThe segment captures the funeral of theatre director František Neumann held in Brno on 27 February 1929. The coffin is carried out of the building of the Mahen Theatre and loaded onto a horse-drawn hearse. The funeral procession moves along the streets of Brno towards the railway station, where the coffin is placed in a special funeral carriage. The train leaves for Prostějov, Neumann´s final resting place. The footage includes two versions of the film capturing the same event

On Comparison of Mechanisms of Economic and Social Exchanges: The Times Model
No full textAn e-market system is a concrete implementation of a market institution; it embeds one or more exchange mechanisms. The mechanisms are – from the economic point of view – disembodied objects (models and procedures) which control access to and regulate execution of transactions. E-market systems are also information systems which are information and communication technologies artifacts. They interact with their users; have different features and tools for searching, processing and displaying information. This work puts forward an argument that the study of e-markets must incorporate both the behavioural economic as well as the information systems perspectives. To this end the paper proposes a conceptual framework that integrates the two. This framework is used to formulate a model, which incorporates the essential features of exchange mechanisms, as well as their implementations as IS artefacts. The focus of attention is on two classes of mechanisms, namely auctions and negotiations. They both may serve the same purpose and their various types have been embedded in many e-market systems
Solving integral equations with generalized Neumann kernel using global simpler GMRES for numerical conformal mapping
No full textWe study a numerical approach for solving integral equation with adjoint generalized Neumann kernel related to conformal mapping. Previously, computation of conformal mapping of M + 1 connected regions require solving at least M + 1 integral equations with adjoint generalized Neumann kernel separately. We apply global simpler GMRES which solve nonsymmetric system with multiple right-hand sides to solve M + 1 integral equations simultaneously. We also apply fast multipole method for several matrix vector products in every iteration of global simpler GMRES. Numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method

Von Neumann stability conditions for the convection-diffusion equation
No full textA method is presented to easily derive von Neumann stability conditions for a wide variety of time discretization schemes for the convection-diffusion equation. Spatial discretization is by the (c-scheme or the fourth-order central scheme. The use of the method is illustrated by application to multistep, Runge-Kutta and implicit-explicit methods, such as are in current use for flow computations, and for which, with few exceptions, no sufficient von Neumann stability results are available. 1
