Vaccination strategies to conserve the endangered African wild dog (Lycaon pictus)
No full textPathogens such as rabies virus and canine distemper virus present a significant risk to the long-term survival of some endangered African wild dog (Lycaon picrus) populations. Vaccination of wild dogs is one approach that might reduce population extinction risks; however clear guidelines for how best to do this are lacking. Hence, we developed a mathematical model of wild dog population dynamics that integrates a pathogen transmission model and a vaccination process. Simulations indicated that the most effective vaccination strategy includes all age classes (when pups are 2-months old), prioritizes the breeding pair, and vaccinates at least 4 animals per pack included in the vaccination effort. In addition, populations for which an Allee effect, high rates of pathogen introduction, or low rates of recovery and immunity were simulated, required greater vaccination coverage (dogs/pack), to protect an equivalent number of packs compared to populations for which no Allee effect, low rates of pathogen introduction, or high rates of recovery and immunity were simulated. For populations in which some packs (high-risk) have a greater risk of pathogen exposure than others (low-risk), vaccinating both high- and low-risk packs, or only low-risk packs, is more effective than vaccinating only high-risk packs when pathogen introduction rates are high. Finally, model results suggest that vaccination of wild dog populations against pathogens, such as canine distemper virus, that do not cause 100% mortality and against which some wild dogs develop acquired immunity, may be unnecessary.

A note on the calculation of consistent tangent operators for Von Mises and Drucker-Prager plasticity
No full textA comparison is made of implementations of consistent tangent operators that arise in implicit integration of Von Mises and Drucker-Prager yield criteria. When computing the consistent tangent operator a matrix inversion has to be performed at integration point level. The consequences of different formulations of the consistent tangent operator on the numerical accuracy are assessed
Berthold Viertel
No full textThe author and director Berthold Viertel (1885-1953), born and raised in Vienna, left a broad but fragmented autobiographical project, which changed a lot over time through exile and remigration. Katharina Prager analyses Viertels autobiographical practice and his re- and deconstructions of collective memory of a "different" Vienna around the year 1900, a counter image of the idealistic presentations by his friend Stefan Zweig. She connects his memories of "critical modernness" with studies about the Wiener Moderne in relation to 15 biographical spaces of memory. Berthold Viertel is shown as a prominent actor and networking expert in the cultural scene of Vienna, and as a typical representative of a critical avant-garde, whose lines of tradition he tried to preserve by his writing

Ferramonti di Tarsia, il lager dei bibliofili (Bernhard, Brenner, Kalk e Prager)
No full textIn this paper, the Author illustrates a little known event in history of book and in history of deportation in Italy. The concentration camp of Ferramonti (near Cosenza) was, in fact, a place of shared imprisonment for at least three very special cultural figures, known and less known, more or less related to the history of the book; three men of which the Author draws the short story that led them first in the camp, then to emerge again in a unique way: Ernst Bernhard, Gustav Brenner and Werner Prager. Also can be added the figure of Israel Kalk, who crossed the threshold of the field, although not as a prisoner. Briefly, Gustav Brenner will not be enough recognized as a genuine pioneer of the facsimile edition in Italy (long before Arnaldo Forni) and he will remain prominent editor in the history and traditions of Southern Italy; Werner Prager helped, with its activities of antiquarian bookseller, to recover the lost library of Theodor Mommsen; Ernst Bernhard will write his own memories during Ferramonti imprisonment, which will lay the foundation of his subsequent career as a famous psychoanalyst and writer; finally, Israel Kalk will provide a library for the camp, drawing from his own one, also rich in ancient Jewish and valuable books
