Eine «einzige große Verzögerung». Die Exilliteratur Maria Lazars und ihre Rezeption: [A «single great delay». Maria Lazar’s exile literature and its reception]

The Austrian novelist, essayist and journalist Maria Lazar (1895-1948), only recently rediscovered, who was a contemporary of Thomas Mann and an acquaintance of Bertolt Brecht, wrote many different types of texts. Considered a promising talent back in Vienna, the reception of her works decreased during Lazar’s years in exile. The following contribution aims to reconstruct the dynamics of her marginalization and takes a closer look at the socially critical dimension of No Right to Live and Die Eingeborenen von Maria Blut [The Natives of Maria Blood]

Politische Kommunikation

Das Thema dieser Arbeit ist Kommunikation im Allgemeinen und politische Kommunikation im Speziellen. In ihr wird - praxisorientierter als in bereits vorliegenden Arbeiten - von germanistischer Seite untersucht, ob die öffentliche Kommunikation, insbesondere die politische, sich, will sie ihre Ziele erreichen, immer weiter an der wirtschaftlichen Kommunikation orientieren muss, insbesondere auch an Markenkommunikation. Durch die Zusammenführung dieser beiden Kommunikations-Genres kann sich Neues für die Zukunft und somit ein effizienterer Weg ergeben, mit den gestiegenen Anforderungen umzugehen. Ausgangspunkt dafür ist, dass deutliche Anzeichen identifizierbar sind, die es gestatten, bei der Beobachtung von politischer Kommunikation eine Entwicklung auszumachen, die beschrieben werden kann mit der zentralen These: Aktuelle politische Kommunikation wird maßgeblich vom Sinnzusammenhang der Marketingtechniken des Wirtschaftssystems bestimm

MIMO In Vivo

We present the performance of MIMO for in vivo environments, using ANSYS HFSS and their complete human body model, to determine the maximum data rates that can be achieved using an IEEE 802.11n system. Due to the lossy nature of the in vivo medium, achieving high data rates with reliable performance will be a challenge, especially since the in vivo antenna performance is strongly affected by near field coupling to the lossy medium and the signals levels will be limited by specified specific absorption rate (SAR) levels. We analyzed the bit error rate (BER) of a MIMO system with one pair of antennas placed in vivo and the second pair placed inside and outside the body at various distances from the in vivo antennas. The results were compared to SISO simulations and showed that by using MIMO in vivo, significant performance gain can be achieved, and at least two times the data rate can be supported with SAR limited transmit power levels, making it possible to achieve target data rates in the 100 Mbps.Comment: WAMICON 201

Circular photogalvanic effect induced by monopolar spin orientation in p-GaAs/AlGaAs MQW

The circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) has been observed in (100)-oriented $p$-GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells at normal incidence of far-infrared radiation. It is shown that monopolar optical spin orientation of free carriers causes an electric current which reverses its direction upon changing from left to right circularly polarized radiation. CPGE at normal incidence and the occurence of the linear photogalvanic effect indicate a reduced point symmetry of studied multi-layered heterostructures. As proposed, CPGE can be utilized to investigate separately spin polarization of electrons and holes and the symmetry of quantum wells.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Beckett, Bernhard, Dante: Intertextuelle Referenzen in Lilian Faschingers «Magdalena Sünderin»: [Beckett, Bernhard, Dante: Intertextual References in Lilian Faschinger’s «Magdalena the Sinner»]

The prose of the Carinthian writer Lilian Faschinger features complex intertextual networks. By integrating as well as interweaving quotations and motives from Samuel Beckett’s Malone Dies, Thomas Bernhard’s Frost and Dante Alighieri’s Divina Commedia, her picaresque novel Magdalena Sünderin does more than merely engage in postmodern playfulness. This article investigates how Faschinger’s text makes use of its intertextual elements to ridicule the literary canon. It also poses the question whether this can be interpreted as a tongue-in-cheek feminist act against male domination in the literary scene as such

Phoenicococcus cribiformes sp. n. (Hemiptera, Phoenicococcidae) em Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) (Araucariaceae) no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

A cochonilha Phoenicococcus cribiformes é descrita do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Além de Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell, 1899, é a segunda espécie conhecida da familia Phoenicococcidae. A fêmea adulta de P. cribiformes difere da P. marlatti por apresentar nos primeiros segmentos abdominais um par de placas cribiformes. Ela foi coletada sobre Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.), o chamado Pinheiro-do-Paraná, dentro da casca do tronco. Foi observada uma associação com formigas do gênero Brachymyrmex.The scale insect Phoenicococcus cribiformes is described from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Besides Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell, 1899 this is the second known species of the family Phoenicococcidae. The adult female of P. cribiformes differs from P. marlatti showing cribiform plates on the first abdominal segments. It was collected on Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.), the so-called Parana pine, inside the bark of the tree trunk. An association with ants of Brachymyrmex sp. was observed
