While classical linear algebra libraries act on matrix and vector objects, Gnswo's design principle abstracts all functionality as linear operators," motivating the notation of a "linear operator algebra library" GINKGO'S current focus is oriented toward providing sparse linear algebra functionality for high performance graphics processing unit (GPU) architectures, but given the library design, this focus can be easily extended to accommodate other algorithms and hardware architectures. We introduce this sophisticated software architecture that separates core algorithms from architecture-specific backends and provide details on extensibility and sustainability measures. We also demonstrate GINKGO'S usability by providing examples on how to use its functionality inside the MFEM and deal.ii finite element ecosystems. Finally, we offer a practical demonstration of GINKGO'S high performance on state-of-the-art GPU architectures.This work was supported by the "Impuls und Vernetzungsfond of the Helmholtz Association" under grant VH-NG-1241.

Coexistence of Weak Localization and a Metallic Phase in Si/SiGe Quantum Wells

Magnetoresistivity measurements on p-type Si/SiGe quantum wells reveal the coexistence of a metallic behavior and weak localization. Deep in the metallic regime, pronounced weak localization reduces the metallic behavior around zero magnetic field without destroying it. In the insulating phase, a positive magnetoresistivity emerges close to B=0, possibly related to spin-orbit interactions.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

GeSn/SiGeSn Heterostructure and Multi Quantum Well Lasers

GeSn and SiGeSn are promising materials for the fabrication of a group IV laser source offering a number of design options from bulk to heterostructures and quantum wells. Here, we investigate GeSn/SiGeSn multi quantum wells using the optically pumped laser effect. Three complex heterostructures were grown on top of 200 nm thick strain-relaxed Ge0.9Sn0.1 buffers. The lasing is investigated in terms of threshold and maximal lasing operation temperature by comparing multiple quantum well to double heterostructure samples. Pumping under two different wavelengths of 1064 and 1550 nm yields comparable lasing thresholds. The design with multi quantum wells reduces the lasing threshold to 40 ± 5 kW/cm2 at 20 K, almost 10 times lower than for bulk structures. Moreover, 20 K higher maximal lasing temperatures were found for lower energy pumping of 1550 nm

Die Aufklärung der Noludarzwischenfälle im Hamburger Hafenviertel (St. Pauli) mit Hilfe kombinierter Analysenmethoden

Arnold W, Grützmacher H-F. Die Aufklärung der Noludarzwischenfälle im Hamburger Hafenviertel (St. Pauli) mit Hilfe kombinierter Analysenmethoden. Deutsche Zeitschrift für die gesamte gerichtliche Medizin. 1969;65(1):44-60.In den Jahren 1965/66 kam es vermehrt zu Beraubungsdelikten im Hamburger Hafenviertel (St. Pauli). Nach den Tatumständen war anzunehmen, daß wahrscheinlich den meist mehr oder weniger alkoholisierten Opfern unbeobachtet ein schnell wirkendes Schlaf- oder Betäubungsmittel beigebracht wurde. Die chemische Untersuchung polizeilich sichergestellter Urinproben der Geschädigten führte zur Isolierung eines Fremdstoffes aus einzelnen dieser Harnasservate, der mit Hilfe kombinierter Analysenmethoden (präparative Dünnschichtchromatographie, IR- und Massenspektrographie) als ein neuer Noludar-Metabolit (2,4-Dioxo-3,3-diäthyl-5-methyl-6-hydroxypiperidin) identifiziert wurde
