Typed letter signed by Katzmann on Higher SS and Police Leader letterhead. Danzig, January 3, 1943. Sent to Maximilian von Herff, Chief of SS Personnel Main Office. Katzmann reports on an SS-Standartfuhrer named Alfons Graf regarding the latter\u27s promotion. Katzmann was an SS-Gruppenfuhrer and police leader who perpetrated genocide in Danzig, Lvov (Lemberg), and Galicia. He took part in the assassinations of the Night of the Long Knives. After the invasion of Poland, he established the Radom Ghetto. With the advent of Operation Barbarossa, he was transferred to Lvov, and was promoted to Brigadier General. He ordered the murder of approximately 60,000 Jewish men, women and children. In 1941, 80,000 Jews were relocated to the Ghetto he established in Lvov. A kindergarten had been set up for children who were all secretly murdered. In Galicia he ordered transports from Lvov to the Belzec extermination center. By the end of 1942, only 40,000 Jews remained in the Lvov Ghetto. In January 1943, another 15,000 Jews were murdered including members of the Judenrat. By the end of June 1943, after the liquidation of another 140,000 Jews and yet another promotion, Katzmann was able to declare that Galicia was Judenfrei. Transferred to Danzig, he was responsible for the liquidation of the Stutthof concentration camp and its sub-camps. After Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945, Katzmann disappeared, escaping prosecution for his crimes and living until 1957 in Darmstadt, apparently without having communicated his existence to his wife and five children.https://digital.kenyon.edu/bulmash/1256/thumbnail.jp
A Living Legacy: The Katzmann Study Group on Immigrant Representation
Get PDFOn March 9, 2023, hundreds of individuals—including immigration lawyers, advocates, government officials, academics, journalists, and philanthropists—gathered for a symposium at Fordham University School of Law entitled Looking Back and Looking Forward: Fifteen Years of Advancing Immigrant Representation. The symposium was organized by the Fordham Law Review and sponsored by law school centers and clinics, nonprofit organizations, and the Katzmann Study Group on Immigrant Representation (the “Study Group”). For members of the Study Group, the day was particularly poignant because several sessions at the symposium honored the life and accomplishments of the Hon. Robert A. Katzmann, the Study Group’s founder and former Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Among the speakers who paid tribute to Judge Katzmann were Elizabeth Fine, counsel to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Fordham University School of Law posthumously awarded Judge Katzmann the Fordham-Stein Prize. His wife, Jennifer Callahan, accepted both the prize and the honorary doctorate that Fordham had bestowed on Judge Katzmann in 2020.
This year’s symposium was the fourth that the Study Group has played a role in organizing. In 2009, as I describe in greater detail below, Judge Katzmann was invited to deliver the Robert L. Levine Distinguished Lecture at Fordham University School of Law. He brought together a diverse set of colleagues to brainstorm solutions to the immigrant representation crisis. In 2011, we met at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where the Study Group unveiled the preliminary findings of the New York Immigrant Representation Study and announced a pilot project to create what was then known as the New York City Immigrant Representation Fellows Program. In 2018, we convened again at Fordham to mark ten years of the Study Group’s work

Force-Directed Embedding of Scale-Free Networks in the Hyperbolic Plane
Get PDFForce-directed drawing algorithms are the most commonly used approach to visualize networks. While they are usually very robust, the performance of Euclidean spring embedders decreases if the graph exhibits the high level of heterogeneity that typically occurs in scale-free real-world networks. As heterogeneity naturally emerges from hyperbolic geometry (in fact, scale-free networks are often perceived to have an underlying hyperbolic geometry), it is natural to embed them into the hyperbolic plane instead. Previous techniques that produce hyperbolic embeddings usually make assumptions about the given network, which (if not met) impairs the quality of the embedding. It is still an open problem to adapt force-directed embedding algorithms to make use of the heterogeneity of the hyperbolic plane, while also preserving their robustness.
We identify fundamental differences between the behavior of spring embedders in Euclidean and hyperbolic space, and adapt the technique to take advantage of the heterogeneity of the hyperbolic plane

Fauveliopsis cf. adriatica: Katzmann & Laubier 1974: 535–537, Fig. 3. Fauveliopsis glabra: López 2011: 2–4, Figs. 1–2 (non Hartman in Hartman & Barnard, 1960). TL: Adriatic Sea. D: Only known from the Adriatic Sea in two localities, 54–62 m; probably reaching 400 m. Deeper records might belong to a different species. Type material: Mediterranean Sea, Adriatic Sea, Holotype (NHMW 13224), S off Prvić Luka (43°42.6’ N, 15°47.7’ E), 54–62 m, no date provided (not seen; specimens 3–4 mm long, 0.7 mm wide, 21–26 chaetigers). Additional material. Western North Atlantic. One specimen (LACM 7523) from scaphopod, R/V Atlantis, Sta. A72 (38°16’ N, 71°47’ W), epibenthic sled, 2864 m, 24 Aug. 1964, H.L. Sanders, coll. (body wall slightly broken in a posterior chaetiger, 12 mm long, 1 mm wide, 30 chaetigers; GP between chaetigers 11 and 12). 13 specimens (LACM 7525), R/ V Atlantis, Sta. A 87, Jul. 1963, H.L. Sanders, coll. (five straight, others bent, straight ones 1.4–9.0 mm long, 0.2–0.9 mm wide, 17–36 chaetigers; GP seen in largest specimen, on the right side, before chaetiger 11; one mature female with oocytes about 100 µm). Seven specimens (LACM 7527), off Surinam, N off Amazon River mouth, R/ V Chain, Sta. Dr 33 (07°52’ N, 54°31.5’ W to 07°55’ N, 54°35’ W), 520–550 m, anchor dredge, 25 Apr. 1963, H.L. Sanders, coll. (in gastropod and scaphopod shells; two out of shells, 1.3–6.1 mm long, 0.3–0.7 mm wide, 28–29 chaetigers; GP not seen). 27 specimens (LACM 7529), from gastropod shells, twisted, broken, R/ V Chain. Sta. Dr. 76 (39°38.3’ N, 67°57.8’ W), 2862 m, 29 Jun. 1965, H.L. Sanders, coll. Diagnosis. Fauveliopsis with 17–36 chaetigers. First three chaetigers with two aciculars per ramus. Median parapodia with 1–2 aciculars and 1–2 capillaries per ramus. Posterior chaetigers with aciculars and capillaries; 3–4 notochaetae and 3–8 neurochaetae. Pygidium with spherical papillae. GP in posterior margin of chaetiger 10 in largest specimens (over 6 mm long). In gastropod and scaphopod shells. Additional observations. Specimens living inside gastropod (Olivella Swainson, 1831, Seguenzia Jeffreys, 1876, vitrinellids) or scaphopod (Cadulus Philippi, 1844) shells (Fig. 1A). They accumulate fine particles inside gastropod shells and apparently promote cementation, or precipitation of some mineral particles over both gastropod or scaphopod shells. Anterior end truncate (Fig. 1C), posterior region blunt; anterior region segments twice wider than long, medial and posterior regions with segments three times wider than long (Fig. 1B). GP small round structure very close to the border of chaetiger 11 (Fig. 1B, inset). Oocytes visible in the posterior region, especially ventrally, each about 100 µm in diameter (Fig. 1D). Remarks. Fauveliopsis adriatica resembles F. magna by having genital papillae (GP) on the right side, and body surface papillated; they differ in the chaetiger where GP are present, and on the relative number of chaetae along posterior chaetigers. In F. adriatica the GP are present before chaetiger 11, and 3–8 capillaries in posterior chaetigers, whereas F. magna has GP before the chaetal lobe of chaetigers 13 or 14, and only 2–3 capillaries in posterior chaetigers. Katzmann & Laubier (1974:535–537, Fig. 3) found another specimen living in a gastropod shell, from a nearby locality, and with similar number of neurochaetae in posterior chaetigers, but with more papillose integument and with less chaetae in posterior chaetigers. It must be noted that these specimens were identified as F. cf. adriatica (NHMW 13223), and they probably belong to the same species because they have about the same number of chaetigers, although they were larger (6 mm long, 0.2–0.3 mm wide, 26 chaetigers); from deeper water (400 m), and one of them was a mature female (oocytes 250 µm). Several specimens found in deeper waters in the Northwestern Atlantic, previously identified as F. glabra, are herein regarded, with hesitation, as conspecific with F. adriatica. The main difference between these two species relies on the number of acicular chaetae along anterior chaetigers; in F. adriatica there are only aciculars whereas in F. glabra there are aciculars and capillaries. The type materials were not available but because of their number of chaetigers, they are probably juveniles. The clarification of the affinities between these shallow water species with the deeper water forms requires the study of type material.Published as part of Salazar-Vallejo, Sergio I., Zhadan, Anna E. & Rizzo, Alexandra E., 2019, Revision of Fauveliopsidae Hartman, 1971 (Annelida, Sedentaria), pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 4637 (1) on pages 9-10, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4637.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/333520
Partitioning the Bags of a Tree Decomposition into Cliques
Get PDFWe consider a variant of treewidth that we call clique-partitioned treewidth in which each bag is partitioned into cliques. This is motivated by the recent development of FPT-algorithms based on similar parameters for various problems. With this paper, we take a first step towards computing clique-partitioned tree decompositions.
Our focus lies on the subproblem of computing clique partitions, i.e., for each bag of a given tree decomposition, we compute an optimal partition of the induced subgraph into cliques. The goal here is to minimize the product of the clique sizes (plus 1). We show that this problem is NP-hard. We also describe four heuristic approaches as well as an exact branch-and-bound algorithm. Our evaluation shows that the branch-and-bound solver is sufficiently efficient to serve as a good baseline. Moreover, our heuristics yield solutions close to the optimum. As a bonus, our algorithms allow us to compute first upper bounds for the clique-partitioned treewidth of real-world networks. A comparison to traditional treewidth indicates that clique-partitioned treewidth is a promising parameter for graphs with high clustering
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
