Gerhart Pohl and Hauptmann, ... Carl Hauptmann
No full textThe following text presents a little‑known fact from the history of Silesian‑German literature: the relationship between the writers Gerhart Pohl and Carl Hauptmann. Pohl (1902–1966) – first and foremost a prose writer, but also a playwright, publisher, reader, columnist and prominent member of writers’ associations – is known in literary circles primarily as an acquaintance, biographer and a kind of “guardian of memory” of the other Hauptmann brother, the Nobel Prize winner Gerhart. A closer examination of the sources, however, reveals Carl Hauptmann’s significant role in Pohl’s literary legacy and biography, as well as the great esteem in which Pohl held Carl Hauptmann. Firstly – Gerhart Pohl mentions the novel “Einhart der Lächler” as one of the main inspirations for taking the literary path. Secondly – Pohl’s first meeting with Carl Hauptmann takes place more than a decade earlier than Pohl’s meeting with Gerhart Hauptmann. Finally – Pohl considers Carl Hauptmann to be a precursor of Expressionism, as well as the author of the greatest German‑language book of the Rübezahl. The source material for the following analysis are Gerhart Pohl’s texts about Carl Hauptmann from his journalistic and occasional texts and essays
Luehea microphylla Pohl 1833

Wallnöfer, pers. comm.). These two specimens are syntypes of <i>L. microphylla</i>, and the previous typification of Cunha (1985) needs to be corrected (Art. 9.2 of the ICN), since it represents the first-step lectotype of <i>L. microphylla</i> and now requires the second-step typification by the way of subsequent lectotypification (Art. 9.17 of the ICN). For this reason, we designated herein the specimen <i>Pohl s.n.</i> (W0071087) the second-step lectotype of <i>L. microphylla</i>, that agree well with the morphological description presented in the protologue. Based on the type materials, the application of the name <i>L. microphylla</i> Pohl is confirmed as a heterotypic synonym of <i>L. candicans,</i> as previously accepted by Cunha (1985).</p>Published as part of <i>Gerace, Samuele, Bovini, Massimo G., Peruzzi, Lorenzo & Baumgratz, José Fernando A., 2022, Typification of names in the neotropical genus Luehea (Malvaceae: Grewioideae), pp. 180-188 in Phytotaxa 542 (2)</i> on pages 183-184, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.542.2.5, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/6415980">http://zenodo.org/record/6415980</a>
Illustration 63: Zeitschrift für die Buchillustration: Heft 1/1974
No full textThis is one of two unusual finds in a lovely Berlin used bookshop. I did not know of the magazine Illustration 63. Antiquariat Ihring had several copies, and I looked through them. Not surprisingly, there were many fables represented in the good artworks reproduced in the issues. I found two especially nicely done and took them along. Each issue of the magazine includes a set of Beilagen, individual pieces printed on their own and included inside the back cover. This issue includes two Beilagen that offer fables. Benno Huth's smaller two-colored linocut presents Canum legati ad Iovem, the dogs sent to Iove. It is a funny illustration. Alfred Pohl presents in larger format a woodcut representing Iriarte's version of Aesop's Two Goats. As might be expected, it is a dynamic illustration. What I seem to be learning from Wikipedia and German Google is that the magazine died after seventy-nine issues.Language note: German#709La Fontain
Antonia ovata Pohl var. excelsa Paula ex Paula (Loganiaceae)
No full textNeste trabalho são considerados os aspectos morfológicos externo e palinológico de três variedades de Antonia ovata Pohl, ocorrentes na floresta da região do rio Jari (Estado do Pará) e nos cerrados da Amazônia e do Planalto Central brasileiro.In this paper the author studies extern morphological and palinological aspects of the three varieties of the Antonia ovata Pohl: var. ovata, var. pilosa and var. excelsa. The var. excelsa from the woods of region of Jari river (Amazonia), and the var. ovata and var. pilosa from "cerrado" of Amazonia, and Central Brazil. Pollen grains of the two varieties excelsa and ovata present polymorphism. The identification of the three varieties is based on the following characteristics: presence or lack of hairs on the leaves and branches; height and diameter of the specimens; and, finally, the habitat

Odd and even Maass cusp forms for Hecke triangle groups, and the billiard flow
No full textBy a transfer operator approach to Maass cusp forms and the Selberg zeta function for cofinite Hecke triangle groups, Moller and the present author found a factorization of the Selberg zeta function into a product of Fredholm determinants of transfer-operator-like families: Z(s) = det(1 - L-s(+)) det(1 - L-s(-)). In this article we show that the operator families L-s(+/-) arise as families of transfer operators for the triangle groups underlying the Hecke triangle groups, and that for s is an element of C, Res = 1/2, the operator L-s(+) (respectively L-s(-)) has a 1-eigenfunction if and only if there exists an even (respectively odd) Maass cusp form with eigenvalue s(1 - s). For non-arithmetic Hecke triangle groups, this result provides a new formulation of the Phillips-Sarnak conjecture on non-existence of even Maass cusp forms.Volkswagen Foundatio
Lessons from science fiction : Frederik Pohl and the robot prosumer
No full textThe diverse fields of business, management and marketing have long explored the concept of the ‘prosumer’ – the producer-consumer who not only consumes those products produced by industry, but also has some hand in their creation (Toffler 1980; Ritzer 1993; Ritzer and Jurgenson 2010; Ritzer 2015). But while the term itself is often credited to futurist Alvin Toffler (1980), the concept he describes (and that which Ritzer et al. adapt) is a central concern of science fiction, which has much to offer our understanding of modern-day prosumption and is not limited by the language and limitations of purely scientific academic discourse. Indeed, one of the most important voices in this area is author and editor Frederik Pohl, with his co-authored novel The Space Merchants (1952) and short stories including ‘The Midas Plague’ (1954) and ‘The Man Who Ate the World’ (1956). In each of these works, Pohl seeks to satirise the mindless robot-like behaviour of human beings, while also posing a word of warning for the social, economic and ecological impact mass-prosumption. This is a particularly relevant message given the rise of ‘surveillance capitalism’ (Zuboff 2019) – the real world manifestation of the dystopias that Pohl and his contemporaries describe. In this paper, I argue that science fiction isn’t just a useful tool for social theorists, but rather, a vital resource, as it provides a speculative framework through which to interrogate the potential impacts and implications of new technology, and the links between production and consumption, technology and work. Furthermore, it provides the means through which to imagine possible futures and the lasting impacts of consumption that go beyond describing the world as it is, and move into the realms of what the world may become

Estudo anatômico e palinológico de Antônia ovata Pohl (Loganiaceae)
No full textNesta comunicação o autor considera a anatomia do caule, pecíolo, lâmina foliar e madeira, além dos aspectos morfológicos externo e palinológico, de espécimes de Antonia ovata, ocorrentes na floresta da região do rio Jarí (Estado do Pará) e nos cerrados da Amazônia e do Brasil Central; nomeia os espécimes da mata como sendo uma variedade nova para a ciência: Antonia ovata Pohl var. excelsa Paula.In this paper the author studies extern morphological, palinological and anatomical aspects, aiming to put an end to the doubts in the taxonomic studies of the specimens of Antonia ovata Pohl (or aiming make clear the taxonomy of the specimens of Antonia ovata. Specimens of Antonia ovata from the woods of the region of Jarí river (Amazônia) are considered by the author as a new variety. With its description, the number of varieties of Antonia ovata rose to three: pilosa, ovata and excelsa (new variety). The extern morphological aspect is found among the individuals from three habitats: "cerrados" of Amazônia, Brasil Central and forest of the region Jarí river. The identification of the three varieties is based on the following characteristic. Presence or lack of hairs on the leaves and branches; microscopic structure of wood (see comparative table); height and diameter of the specimens; and finally the habitat. Pollen grains of these two varieties excelsa and ovata present polymorphism. The leaf of that species has structure of a higrophyllous plants. The stem is rich in mucilaginous cells; vascular bundles are bicollateral; the leafknot is bilacunar, and the trace is formed by two vascular bundles
