Das dänische Strafgesetz – Straffeloven : vom 15. April 1930 - nach dem Stand vom 1. Juli 2001
Das geltende dänische Strafgesetz vom 15. April 1930 trat am 1. Januar 1933 in Kraft. Bis zum Stand vom 1. Juli 2001, den die vorliegende Übersetzung wiedergibt, sind 80 Änderungsgesetze erlassen worden. Der Anwendungsbereich des Strafgesetzes erstreckt sich auf Dänemark sowie auf die Färöer, die seit 1948 ein autonomes Gebiet unter dänischer Krone bilden. Änderungsgesetze werden für diesen Landesteil jeweils gesondert in Kraft gesetzt; dabei sind nicht sämtliche Änderungsgesetze übernommen worden. Auf Grönland, das 1979 ebenfalls als gleichberechtigter Teil Dänemarks die innere Selbständigkeit erlangt hat, gilt ein eigenes Kriminalgesetz vom 5. März 1954 mit späteren Änderungen
Neustonic copepods (Labidocera spp.) discovered living residentially in coral reefs
Pontellid copepods are archetypical representatives of the neuston — the highly specialized community living in the top 5–10 cm of the ocean surface. Their deep blue pigmentation and large eyes are unique adaptations to surface irradiation and carnivory, but poor prerequisites for survival in the transparent waters beneath the sea surface. Here, we report the discovery of three reef-associated representatives of this group — Labidocera bataviae A. Scott, 1909; L. pavo Giesbrecht, 1889; and Labidocera sp. — living residential in coral reefs. We (1) document the presence of Labidocera spp. for two separate coral reefs on two expeditions to Papua New Guinea, (2) describe their migration behavior and substrate preference, and (3) quantify the effects of benthic reef community composition on their abundance. All life stages of Labidocera spp. were 43 to 94 times more abundant at the reef sites compared to offshore sites. Although pontellids are generally considered non-migrators, Labidocera spp. showed discernible diel vertical migrations: living in reef substrates during the day, emerging into the water column at night (sometimes more than once), and returning to the substrate at dawn. Labidocera spp. showed a pronounced substrate preference for coral rubble, microalgae, and turf, over branching coral, massive boulder coral, and sand

The optical system of the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, Part II: mirror alignment and point spread function
Mirror facets of the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are
aligned using stars imaged onto the closed lid of the PMT camera, viewed by a
CCD camera. The alignment procedure works reliably and includes the automatic
analysis of CCD images and control of the facet alignment actuators. On-axis,
80% of the reflected light is contained in a circle of less than 1 mrad
diameter. The spot widens with increasing angle to the telescope axis. In
accordance with simulations, the spot size has roughly doubled at an angle of
1.4 degr. from the axis. The expected variation of spot size with elevation due
to deformations of the support structure is visible, but is completely
non-critical over the usual working range. Overall, the optical quality of the
telescope exceeds the specifications.Comment: 23 pages, 13 figure
Clonal competition in BcrAbl-driven leukemia: how transplantations can accelerate clonal conversion
The optical system of the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, Part I: layout and components of the system
H.E.S.S. -- the High Energy Stereoscopic System -- is a new system of large
imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, with about 100 m^2 mirror area for
each of four telescopes, and photomultiplier cameras with a large field of view
(5 degr.) and small pixels (0.16 degr.). The dish and reflector are designed to
provide good imaging properties over the full field of view, combined with
mechanical stability. The paper describes the design criteria and
specifications of the system, and the individual components -- dish, mirrors,
and Winston cones -- as well as their characteristics. The optical performance
of the telescope as a whole is the subject of a companion paper.Comment: 28 pages, 20 figure
A systemic model for differentiating school technology integration
School technology integration rarely begins with school or educator choice. It is part of a wider context where external and internal factors have direct influence on the goals and tools that are adopted over time. The objective of this study is to investigate the systemic conditions that contribute or inhibit the development of different activities by teachers making use of new media. We compiled a list of well-known conditions for technology integration success and mapped these in the historical and culturally bound perspective of activity theory (cultural historical activity theory). We conducted a multiple case study analysis of four schools, public and private. The results point to unique and distinctive scenarios even when homogeneity would be expected, reinforcing the argument that material conditions do not determine pedagogical outcomes nor do they determine changes in practice. Beyond this, the study proposes a methodology that can help elicit tensions in technology integration, pointing to avenues for school development
First detection of a VHE gamma-ray spectral maximum from a Cosmic source: H.E.S.S. discovery of the Vela X nebula
The Vela supernova remnant (SNR) is a complex region containing a number of
sources of non-thermal radiation. The inner section of this SNR, within 2
degrees of the pulsar PSR B0833-45, has been observed by the H.E.S.S. gamma-ray
atmospheric Cherenkov detector in 2004 and 2005. A strong signal is seen from
an extended region to the south of the pulsar, within an integration region of
radius 0.8 deg. around the position (RA = 08h 35m 00s, dec = -45 deg. 36'
J2000.0). The excess coincides with a region of hard X-ray emission seen by the
ROSAT and ASCA satellites. The observed energy spectrum of the source between
550 GeV and 65 TeV is well fit by a power law function with photon index = 1.45
+/- 0.09(stat) +/- 0.2(sys) and an exponential cutoff at an energy of 13.8 +/-
2.3(stat) +/- 4.1(sys) TeV. The integral flux above 1 TeV is (1.28 +/- 0.17
(stat) +/- 0.38(sys)) x 10^{-11} cm^{-2} s^{-1}. This result is the first clear
measurement of a peak in the spectral energy distribution from a VHE gamma-ray
source, likely related to inverse Compton emission. A fit of an Inverse Compton
model to the H.E.S.S. spectral energy distribution gives a total energy in
non-thermal electrons of ~2 x 10^{45} erg between 5 TeV and 100 TeV, assuming a
distance of 290 parsec to the pulsar. The best fit electron power law index is
2.0, with a spectral break at 67 TeV.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy and

Observations of Mkn 421 in 2004 with H.E.S.S. at large zenith angles
Mkn 421 was observed during a high flux state for nine nights in April and
May 2004 with the fully operational High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.)
in Namibia. The observations were carried out at zenith angles of
60--65, which result in an average energy threshold of 1.5 TeV
and a collection area reaching 2~km at 10~TeV. Roughly 7000 photons from
Mkn~421 were accumulated with an average gamma-ray rate of 8 photons/min. The
overall significance of the detection exceeds 100 standard deviations. The
light-curve of integrated fluxes above 2~TeV shows changes of the diurnal flux
up to a factor of 4.3. For nights of high flux, intra-night variability is
detected with a decay time of less than 1 hour. The time averaged energy
spectrum is curved and is well described by a power-law with a photon index
\egamm and an exponential cutoff at \ecut~TeV and an average integral flux
above 2~TeV of 3 Crab flux units. Significant variations of the spectral shape
are detected with a spectral hardening as the flux increases. Contemporaneous
multi-wavelength observations at lower energies (X-rays and gamma-rays above
~GeV) indicate smaller relative variability amplitudes than seen
above 2~TeV during high flux state observed in April 2004.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, published in A&
Very high energy gamma rays from the direction of Sagittarius A*.
We report the detection of a point-like source of very high energy (VHE) -rays coincident within 1' of Sgr A *, obtained with the HESS array of Cherenkov telescopes. The -rays exhibit a power-law energy spectrum with a spectral index of and a flux above the 165 GeV threshold of m -2 s -1. The measured flux and spectrum differ substantially from recent results reported in particular by the CANGAROO collaboration
