Simon Kramer Family Collection 1813-1990
No full textThe collection is divided into two series. Series I contains manuscripts of his writings in German, accompanied with English translations. Series II consists of genealogical material, family trees, vital records, etc. (in German and English) of the Kramer family.See inventory.Mr. Kramer was an author of German children folklore. Mr. Kramer's children came to the US.Simon Kramer was born in 1808 in Schnaittach, Bavaria. He graduated from a teacher's training school in 1828 and started tutoring. His son Max was offered an apprenticeship in Chicago by a former pupil. Some of his other children followed and immigrated to the US during the 1840s and 1850s. He took up writing later in his life and also wrote a memoir, which is in the LBI library. He died in 1887.See also books in LBI library DS 135 G5 K712 K7 and DS 135 G5 K712Photographs removed to Photograph Collectiondigitize
A Transfer Report on the Development of a Framework to Evaluate Search Interfaces for their Support of Different User Types and Search Tactics
No full textAs the understanding of search systems, user needs and seeking strategies is developing, the design of search user interfaces is evolving to support more complicated and exploratory forms of search. With the design of new search features that enable these richer modes of exploration, comes the need to better understand the support they provide. In this report a new evaluation framework is presented that analyses search features for how they a) contribute to an overall interface, b) allow users to carry out different search tactics, and c) support different types of users and their needs. The novel contributions of the framework improve on some of the limitations of typical user studies, and allow search systems to be systematically analysed in much more detail and in much less time. The presented evaluation framework is then validated in three ways. First the validity of the models used as the building blocks of the framework are investigated through related work. Second the method of integrating these building-block models is validated and strengthened by consensus of expert opinion. Third, the overall approach is validated by comparing its analyses to the results of previously carried out user studies. The validation process has shown both the value of the framework and identified areas of future work that should be addressed for the framework to be completed. This report concludes with the set of contributions that the framework makes, and why the remaining work will be challenging, but critical to the final design
Max Frisch's novel: Stiller. A study
No full text The attempt is made in the following study to present an interpretation of the novel "Stiller" by the Swiss author, Max Frisch, by tracing through the novel the dominant themes of the graven-image or 'Bildnis' and that of the problem of freedom with reference to the novel's main character.

Enseñanza de la escritura de Max Aub: comprensión y memoria
No full textEste texto analiza a obra testimonial de Max Aub sobre su experiencia en los campos de concentración en Francia desde una perspectiva de discursos comparados. Para destacar las estrategias de la escritura del autor recuperables por otros proyectos discursivos que persigan la sensibilización y la denuncia a través del cruce entre la comunicación y la éticaThis text analyses the testimonial work of Max Aub about his experience in the French concentration camps in France from comparative discourses approach. It emphasizes the writing strategies used by the author useful for other awareness and denounce discourses through the dialogue among communication and ethic

On a generalization of power algorithms over max-plus algebra
No full textIn this paper we discuss a generalization of power algorithms over max-plus algebra. We are interested in finding such a generalization starting from various existing power algorithms. The resulting algorithm can be used to determine the so-called generalized eigenmode of any square regular matrix over max-plus algebra. In particular, the algorithm can be applied in the case of regular reducible matrices in which the existing power algorithms can not be used to compute eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors.Accepted Author ManuscriptMathematical Physic
A qualidade da liderança: um estudo da teoria weberiana
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Curso de Ciências Sociais.A questão da liderança política em Max Weber é de extrema importância para o entendimento de toda a obra deste autor. Este trabalho de conclusão de curso (TCC) propõe-se examinar as formas como o pensamento weberiano qualifica a liderança política. Primeiramente cotejando a qualidade da liderança política nas classes sociais. Num segundo momento averiguar a qualificação institucional para tal liderança. Por último, o presente trabalho objetiva verificar no indivíduo as qualidades enumeradas por Max Weber. Tendo, principalmente em seus textos militantes os conceitos de “ética dos fins últimos” (ou ética da convicção) (Gesinnungsethik) e "ética da responsabilidade" (Verantwortungsethik) como sendo os principais tipos ideais na ética profissional como espírito do capitalismo ocidental. Max Weber entende que é a herança política e, consequentemente a educação política os principais referenciais para a compreensão do tema em questão.The issue of political leadership in Max Weber got the paramount importance for the understanding of all the work by this author. This study aims at examining this issue from the perspective of the weberian concept of qualified political leadership. Primarily aims at comparing the quality of political leadership in social classes. Secondly ascertain the institutional qualification for political leadership. Finally, this study aims to verify the individual qualities listed by Max Weber. Having mainly in his militant’s works the concepts of ethics of conviction (Gesinnungsethik) and ethics of responsibility (Verantwortungsethik) as the main ideal types in professional ethics as the spirit of Western capitalism. Max Weber believes that is the political heritage and consequently leading education policy the frameworks for understanding the topic in question
The subzero microbiome: Microbial activity in frozen and thawing soils
No full textMost of the Earth's biosphere is characterized by low temperatures (<5 °C) and cold-adapted microorganisms are widespread. These psychrophiles have evolved a complex range of adaptations of all cellular constituents to counteract the potentially deleterious effects of low kinetic energy environments and the freezing of water. Microbial life continues into the subzero temperature range, and this activity contributes to carbon and nitrogen flux in and out of ecosystems, ultimately affecting global processes. Microbial responses to climate warming and in particular, thawing of frozen soils are not yet well understood although the threat of microbial contribution to positive feedback of carbon flux is substantial. To date, several studies have examined microbial community dynamics in frozen soils and permafrost due to changing environmental conditions, and some have undertaken the complicated task of characterizing microbial functional groups and how their activity changes with changing conditions, either in situ or by isolating and characterizing macromolecules. With increasing temperature and wetter conditions microbial activity of key microbes and subsequent efflux of greenhouse gases also increase. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of microbial activity in seasonally frozen soils and permafrost. With a more detailed understanding of the microbiological activities in these vulnerable soil ecosystems, we can begin to predict and model future expectations for carbon release and climate change.Peer reviewe

Studies on linear systems and the eigenvalue problem over the max-plus algebra
No full textMax-plus代数は，実数全体に無限小元を付加した集合に，加法として最大値をとる演算，乗法として通常の加法を考えた代数系である．本論文では，max-plus線形方程式に対するCramerの公式の類似物を用いて，線形方程式の解空間の基底が構成できることを示した．さらに固有値問題に関連して，max-plus行列の固有ベクトルの概念を2通りの観点から拡張した．The max-plus algebra is the semiring with addition "max" and multiplication "+". In the present thesis, the author gives a combinatorial characterization of solutions of linear systems in terms of the max-plus Cramer's rule. Further, the author extends the concept of eigenvectors of max-plus matrices from two different perspectives.doctoral thesi
