    Manchmal muss man schon aufpassen, dass man mit den jungen Architekturbüros nicht durcheinander kommt: Da gibt es also das Stuttgarter Büro "somaa", das in diesem Jahr mit kleinen, feinen Gebäuden im Stuttgarter Raum auf sich aufmerksam machen konnte. Und dann gibt es das in Wien ansässige Büro "soma", gegründet 2007 von Martin Oberascher, Stefan Rutzinger, Kristina Schinegger und Günther Weber. Deren bislang bekanntestes Projekt ist das "dauerhafte Themengebäude" für die Expo 2012 im südkoreanischen Yeosu (siehe BauNetz-Meldung vom 30. Januar), das zum bleibenden Wahrzeichen der Stadt werden soll

    3D point cloud of the Hundsalm ice cave

    3D point cloud of the Hundsalm ice cave acquired with a Riegl VZ-2000i Terrestrial Laser Scanner on 2020-05-15, 2020-06-23 and 2020-07-03. Individual point clouds acquired from 255 scan positions were co-registered taking into account potential changes in snow, firn and ice content between the acquisition campaigns. The final data set reflects the snow, firn and ice conditions of 2020-07-03 and contains 3D points with an average spatial resolution of 2 cm. Points are classified into 4 classes: 1 = above ground points (e.g. vegetation) outside the cave, 2 = ground points outside the cave, 3 = points representing the cave's rock surface, 4 = points representing the snow, firn and ice surface in the cave. The points are stored in ETRS89/UTM zone 32N coordinates (EPSG:25832) and include, beside of the classification, an intensity attribute

    Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden

    No full text
    This essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

    CLOSE-RANGE SENSING TECHNIQUES IN ALPINE TERRAIN

    No full text
    Early career researchers such as PhD students are a main driving force of scientific research and are for a large part responsible for research innovation. They work on specialized topics within focused research groups that have a limited number of members, but might also have limited capacity in terms of lab equipment. This poses a serious challenge for educating such students as it is difficult to group a sufficient number of them to enable efficient knowledge transfer. To overcome this problem, the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research 2015 on close-range sensing techniques in Alpine terrain was organized in Obergurgl, Austria, by an international team from several universities and research centres. Of the applicants a group of 40 early career researchers were selected with interest in about ten types of specialized surveying tools, i.e. laser scanners, a remotely piloted aircraft system, a thermal camera, a backpack mobile mapping system and different grade photogrammetric equ..

    Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education

    No full text
    We describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72

    This collection contains clippings of articles by Hans Martin Schwarz (1917, Hamburg – 2006, New York, better known as Martin Ebon), published between 1934 and 1938 in German-Jewish newspapers on a wide variety of subjects such as sports, emigration, the political situation in Germany, and religious attitudes of the young. It also contains reviews of his books "Einer wie Du und Ich" and "Heiteres, Besinnliches, Nachdenkliches."digitizedHans Martin Schwarz (1917, Hamburg – 2006, New York, better known as Martin Ebon), was a journalist and author. In Germany during the 1930s, he published in a variety of German-Jewish periodicals, primarily the Israelitisches Familienblatt. After immigrating to the United States in 1938, he changed his name to Martin Ebon, and published dozens of books in the areas of world affairs and parapsychology.Processe

    Advancing forest mapping: Pretraining strategies and deep-ensemble based uncertainty for predicting evergreen broad-leaved cover from Sentinel-2 time series

    No full text
    The distribution changes of evergreen broad-leaved tree and shrub species (EVE) at the border of Mediterranean and temperate forests due to climate change and land-use changes necessitates accurate mapping techniques to support biodiversity monitoring and climate adaptation strategies. Remote sensing time series provide valuable data for vegetation analysis, yet functional-level mapping in mixed forests remains challenging due to limited observation data. To tackle this limitation, the present study investigates pretraining strategies for mapping EVE cover in selected Italian forest areas using Sentinel-2 time series and a probabilistic Convolutional Neural Network. Additionally deep ensemble-based uncertainty estimation is used to further enhance the interpretability of the output. We compare three model training strategies: (i) direct training on up-to-date but limited field data, (ii) supervised pretraining on a larger, diverse forest vegetation database before fine-tuning, and (iii) self-supervised pretraining on large-scale unlabeled time series before fine-tuning. Our results demonstrate that pretraining on contextually similar datasets in combination with a spatial split of training and validation data significantly enhances predictive performance and generalization to unseen regions in a cross-validation experiment. Additionally, we assess epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty to improve interpretability and identification of out-of-distribution predictions. This study highlights the benefits of pretraining and uncertainty quantification for large-scale remote sensing applications with limited availability of labeled data
