STUDIES ON PLANT BILE PIGMENTS-6. PHOTOCHEMICALLY ASSISTED REACTION OF A-DIHYDROBILINDIONE WITH NUCLEOPHILES AS A MODEL FOR PHYTOCHROME INTERCONVERSION
From the A-dihydrobilindione 3. the pyridinium derivatives 6a,b and analogues thereof have
been obtained by a formal nucleophilic substitution. The reaction is rationalized as a photochemically
assisted oxidation of 3 with a subsequent regioselective addition of pyridine at C-5. By thermolysis.
6a.b yields back the parent bilin 3, together with an oxidation product. The significance of the reaction
with respect to the phytochrome interconversion is discussed

Zwischen Marginalität und Allmachtsfantasien. Neuere Publikationen zum Pädagogikunterricht in der gymnasialen Oberstufe
Nach kurzen Hinweisen zur Institutionalisierung des Faches bzw. zur prekären Situation der Fachdidaktik Pädagogikunterricht und einem kurzen Überblick über die aktuelle Ausdifferenzierung des Diskursfeldes werden für den aktuellen Stand der fachdidaktischen Diskussion charakteristische Arbeiten von K. Beyer, E. Wortmann, E. Stiller und G. Koumides vorgestellt. Dabei werden Subjektorientierung und Handlungspropädeutik als der - trotz unterschiedlicher Akzentuierungen - gemeinsame Bezugspunkt dieser Arbeiten herausgestellt und das Fehlen einer empirischen Bedingungsanalyse des Faches sowie das Desinteresse an bildungssoziologischen Fragestellungen moniert. (DIPF/Orig.)Following a brief sketch of the institutionalization of the school subject pedagogics and of the precarious situation of the didactics of pedagogical instruction as well as a short survey on the recent differentiation of the field of discourse, the authors report on the studies by K. BEYER, E. WORTMANN, E. STILLER, and G. KOUMIDES, which are characteristic of the recent discussion on pedagogical didactics. Subject orientation and practice-related preparatory courses are revealed as a point of reference common to all of these studies, despite their different accentuations. However, the authors criticize the lack of an empirical analysis of the conditions of the subject pedagogics as well as the lack of interest in issues relating to educational sociology. (DIPF/Orig.

Use of TanDEM-X and Sentinel Products to Derive Gully Activity Maps in Kunene Region (Namibia) Based on Automatic Iterative Random Forest Approach
Gullies are landforms with specific patterns of shape,
topography, hydrology, vegetation, and soil characteristics. Remote
sensing products (TanDEM-X, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2) serve
as inputs into an iterative algorithm, initialized using a micromapping simulation as training data, to map gullies in the northwestern of Namibia. A Random Forest Classifier examines pixels
with similar characteristics in a pool of unlabeled data, and gully
objects are detected where high densities of gully pixels are enclosed
by an alpha shape. Gully objects are used in subsequent iterations
following a mechanism where the algorithm uses the most reliable
pixels as gully training samples. The gully class continuously grows
until an optimal scenario in terms of accuracy is achieved. Results
are benchmarked with manually tagged gullies (initial gully labeled
area <0.3% of the total study area) in two different watersheds
(408 and 302 km2, respectively) yielding total accuracies of >98%,
with 60% in the gully class, Cohen Kappa >0.5, Matthews Correlation Coefficient >0.5, and receiver operating characteristic
Area Under the Curve >0.89. Hence, our method outlines gullies
keeping low false-positive rates while the classification quality has
a good balance for the two classes (gully/no gully). Results show
the most significant gully descriptors as the high temporal radar
signal coherence (22.4%) and the low temporal variability in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (21.8%). This research builds
on previous studies to face the challenge of identifying and outlining
gully-affected areas with a shortage of training data using global
datasets, which are then transferable to other large (semi-) arid
regions.This research is part of the DEM_HYDR2024 project sup ported by TanDEM-X Science Team, therefore the authors
would like to express thanks to the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt (DLR) as the donor for the used TanDEM-X
datasets. They acknowledge the financial support provided by
the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST)
within the IRPC research funding programme and to ILMI for
the sponsorship of field trips to identify suitable study areas.
Finally, they would like to express gratitude toward Heidelberg
University and the Kurt-Hiehle-Foundation for facilitating the
suitable work conditions during this research
