Theory of a refined earth model

Refined equations are derived relating the variations of the earths gravity and radius as functions of longitude and latitude. They particularly relate the oblateness coefficients of the old harmonics and the difference of the polar radii /respectively, ellipticities and polar gravity accelerations/ in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres

Erstnachweis der Verworrenen Armleuchteralge für Sachsen-Anhalt

Trotz ihres auffälligen, an Schachtelhalme oder Hornkraut erinnernden Erscheinungsbildes bleibt die Gruppe der Armleuchteralgen (Characeae) vielfach unbeachtet. Dabei liefert sie wichtige Hinweise zur Beurteilung des Erhaltungszustandes von Gewässern und zur Bewertung ihrer naturschutzfachlichen Bedeutung. Die Armleuchteralgen sind habituell auch mit bloßem Auge leicht erkennbar und eine streng in sich geschlossene Artengruppe. Neuere deutschsprachige Bestimmungsschlüssel liefern KRAUSE (1976, 1997), ROTHMALER (1984) und VAHLE (1990). Angaben zu den Standortansprüchen der Arten findet man unter anderem bei KRAUSE (1997), SCHMIDT et al. (1996) und VAHLE (1990)

Smoothed Bounded-Confidence Opinion Dynamics on the Complete Graph

We present and analyze a model for how opinions might spread throughout a network of people sharing information. Our model is called the smoothed bounded-confidence model and is inspired by the bounded-confidence model of opinion dynamics proposed by Hegselmann and Krause. In the Hegselmann–Krause model, agents move towards the average opinion of their neighbors. However, an agent only factors a neighbor into the average if their opinions are sufficiently similar. In our model, we replace this binary threshold with a logarithmic weighting function that rewards neighbors with similar opinions and minimizes the effect of dissimilar ones. This weighting function can be tuned with parameters and and recovers the Hegselmann–Krause model as approaches infinity. We analyze the effect of and on some of the stationary states of the smoothed bounded-confidence model on the complete graph. In particular, we analyze the stationary states with consensus and those with two distinct opinions
