The Probably and the Provable. By Jonathan L. Cohen

  Sight: Långholmen, Stockhomen ”Långholmensmarinstad” består av tre delar. En båtuppställningslada ett bostadsområde och en restaurang. Båtuppställningsladan har även en dubbel funktion som teater under sommar halvåret då Stockholmstads Parkteater får en fast spelplats och båtarna ligger i vattnet. Restarangen ligger i anslutning till båt huset och har en stor glas vägg som öppnar sig in mot Båtarna/teatern som skapar ett tydligt marint tema.   Bostadsområdet består av nio stycken radhus som vilar mot den befintliga Q-märkta fängelsemuren likt små japanskavillor med ljusgård. Det centralt placerade bostadshuset med sina fem våningar är lika högt som de gamla fängelsebyggnaderna. En lugn lummig innergård skapas emellan radhus och bostadshuset. Den lokala segel skolan får även husera i den nedre våningen av bostadshuset.      Sight: Långholmen, Stockhomen ”Långholmensmarinstad” consists of three parts. These are a large boathouse housing complex and a restaurant. The boathouse also has a double function as theatre space during the summer months when the Stockholm Parkteatern needs its seasonal venue. The restaurant is in direct adjacent to the Boathouse/theatre with a large glass wall which gives the restaurant a natural marina vibe. The housing complex consists of nine townhouses adjacent to the old heritage labelled prison wall, with small Japanese courtyards and one housing block. The housing block rises five story’s and has the same metric height as the surrounding historical prison buildings.   This creates a green peaceful inner courtyard in-between the townhouses and the housing block. The locale yachting club is given a natural haven in the ground floor space in the housing block

Topography and pigeon orientation

Two types of homing experiments with pigeons to determine the influence of topographical features on the orientation behavior of the birds are discussed. The releases and following were conducted by ground experiments in which the birds are tracked by visual observation at points of topographical interest and the helicopter method by which the birds are tracked throughout the entire flight. The ground experiments showed a strong influence of topographical features on initial orientation. The helicopter experiments showed that the ground experiments do not provide adequate information on the manner in which homing occurs

Rank three matroids are Rayleigh

A Rayleigh matroid is one which satisfies a set of inequalities analogous to the Rayleigh monotonicity property of linear resistive electrical networks. We show that every matroid of rank three satisfies these inequalities.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 3 table

Observations of the Ultraviolet Spectra of Carbon White Dwarfs

Strong ultraviolet carbon lines were detected in additional white DC (continuous visual spectra) dwarfs using the IUE. These lines are not seen in the ultraviolet spectrum of the cool DC star Stein 2051 B. The bright DA white dwarf LB 3303 has a strong unidentified absorption near lambda 1400

Autonomous Organization of the (International) Scientific Community Would Simplify Data Protection in the Social Sciences and Encourage Reanalysis

In den Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften besteht ohne die Moeglichkeit einer Re-Analyse von statistischen Ergebnissen (gleichermaßen amtlichen wie nicht-amtlichen) die Gefahr von nicht entdeckten Irrtuemern. Mit anderen Worten: Re- Analysen sind in der Wissenschaft die "Berufungsinstanz", ohne die es keine funktionierende Scientific Community geben kann. Der Schutz vor fehlerhaften wissenschaftlichen Ergebnissen mit Hilfe von Re-Analysen ist ein "oeffentliches Interesse", das in der Datenschutzdiskussion und insbesondere bei der Auslegung von Datenschutzregelungen bislang zu wenig beachtet wurde. Das Wissenschaftssystem und der Gesetzgeber sind gleichermaßen aufgefordert, Re-Analysen zu ermoeglichen ohne den Datenschutz zu verletzen. Als Instrumente werden Selbstbindungen im Wissenschaftssystem und die Schaffung eines gesetzlichen "Forschungsdaten-Geheimnisses" diskutiert. The re-analysis of statistical data is an effective means of protecting the public from undiscovered errors in social science research. Re-analysis is critical, as there is no difference between official data and non-official data. However, discussions concerning data protection legislation do not usually take this into consideration. Proper data protection rules must make it possible to conduct independent re-analysis of protected data. The paper discusses the possibilities of self-binding in the (international) scientific community and creating a new kind of law which would provide scientific data with a special legal status (Forschungsdaten- Geheimnis).
