A First Search for coincident Gravitational Waves and High Energy Neutrinos using LIGO, Virgo and ANTARES data from 2007

We present the results of the first search for gravitational wave bursts associated with high energy neutrinos. Together, these messengers could reveal new, hidden sources that are not observed by conventional photon astronomy, particularly at high energy. Our search uses neutrinos detected by the underwater neutrino telescope ANTARES in its 5 line configuration during the period January - September 2007, which coincided with the fifth and first science runs of LIGO and Virgo, respectively. The LIGO-Virgo data were analysed for candidate gravitational-wave signals coincident in time and direction with the neutrino events. No significant coincident events were observed. We place limits on the density of joint high energy neutrino - gravitational wave emission events in the local universe, and compare them with densities of merger and core-collapse events.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures, science summary page at http://www.ligo.org/science/Publication-S5LV_ANTARES/index.php.

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access

Plant traits - the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants - determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits - almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives

Germany's poetic miscreants on the road: from beat poetics to Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Nicolas Born and Jürgen Theobaldy

textWest German poets Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Nicolas Born and Jürgen Theobaldy became associated with the American Beats in the minds of readers and critics in the 1960s and 70s through their work as poets, essayists and anthologists. This association was due chiefly to Brinkmann’s activities as a programmatic adapter of the work of American Beat and New York School poets for German literature. This dissertation examines the specific impact these adaptations had on the poetry produced in West Germany in the 1970s. The adaptations these authors made of their American sources were part of a larger rebellion against the poetic norms of the 1950s that were promulgated in the late 1960s. This rebellion mirrors in many ways the rebellion of American poets against poetic norms in place in the U.S. 1950s. Thus, in order to properly understand the literary program of Brinkmann, Born and Theobaldy, this work elucidates the various poetic rebellions against the influence of T. S. Eliot and New Criticism in the American 1950s. It then examines the programmatic adaptation of American poetic and pop culture sources in the work of Brinkmann. Specifically, it employs Siegfried Kracauer’s theory of the “mass ornament” in an examination of Brinkmann’s adaptations of American poet Frank O’Hara in the development of his poetics of the surface. It then examines the appropriation of an American poetic idiom in the work of Born, Theobaldy and Brinkmann by analyzing both their writings on poetry and selected poems by each. It concludes with a consideration of the impact these three poets had on the poetry of the Neue Subjektivität movement of the 1970s and beyond.Germanic Studie

A first search for coincident gravitational waves and high energy neutrinos using LIGO, Virgo and ANTARES data from 2007

We present the results of the first search for gravitational wave bursts associated with high energy neutrinos. Together, these messengers could reveal new, hidden sources that are not observed by conventional photon astronomy, particularly at high energy. Our search uses neutrinos detected by the underwater neutrino telescope ANTARES in its 5 line configuration during the period January - September 2007, which coincided with the fifth and first science runs of LIGO and Virgo, respectively. The LIGO-Virgo data were analysed for candidate gravitational-wave signals coincident in time and direction with the neutrino events. No significant coincident events were observed. We place limits on the density of joint high energy neutrino - gravitational wave emission events in the local universe, and compare them with densities of merger and core-collapse events
