D., Trible, W., Ritger, A., Valdes-Rodriguez, S., Kronauer, D. J. C. Abstract: Ants communicate via large arrays of pheromones and possess expanded, highly complex olfactory systems, with antennal lobes in the brain comprising ~500 glomeruli. This expansion implies that odors could activate hundreds of glomeruli, which would pose challenges for higher order processing. To study this problem, we generated the first transgenic ants, expressing the genetically encoded calcium indicator GCaMP6s in olfactory sensory neurons. Using two-photon imaging, we mapped complete glomerular responses to four ant alarm pheromones. Alarm pheromones robustly activated less than or equal to 6 glomeruli, and activity maps for the three pheromones inducing panic-alarm in our study species converged on a single glomerulus. These results demonstrate that, rather than using broadly tuned combinatorial encoding, ants employ precise, narrowly tuned, and stereotyped representation of alarm pheromone cues. The identification of a central sensory hub glomerulus for alarm behavior suggests that a simple neural architecture is sufficient to translate pheromone perception into behavioral outputs.

In Episode #161 sprechen Jens und Jörg mit Emanuel Kronauer Worum geht's in dieser Folge Irgendwas mit Logistik? Wie verringert man den Staubgehalt der Luft? Wird Staub als Problem wahrgenommen? Welche Gefahren gehen mit einer hohen Staubbelastung einher? Wollen Kunden in der Regel die Luftqualität verbessern, weil sie die Auflagen nicht erfüllen können? Welche große Herausforderung gibt es in der Logistik bei der Staubentwicklung? Welche Nebeneffekte gibt es, wenn man die Staubentwicklung reguliert? Wird die Staubentwicklung grundsätzlich als Problem wahrgenommen? Gab es ab 2020 ein Umdenken, was das Thema Luftqualität betrifft? Wie startet man ein Projekt, wenn man die Luftqualität verbessern will? Wie ist die Projektabwicklung, hat man mit vielen Schnittstellen zutun oder ist es eine Plug and Play Lösung?

»Als der Tag anbrach, breitete sich eine Schockwelle über die Welt aus: In Europa tobte fast 23 Jahre nach dem NATO-Angriff auf Jugoslawien wieder ein offener Krieg.« Diesen einleitenden Worten lässt Jörg Kronauer die Vorgeschichte jenes Waffengangs folgen, in den der Ukraine-Konflikt durch den russischen Angriff im Februar 2022 umschlug: Dabei geht es um einen der beiden Großkonflikte, für die der Westen seit Jahren rüstet. Einmal gegen Russland, das sich nach seinem dramatischen Niedergang in den 1990ern stabilisiert hat und nun auf einer eigenständigen Rolle in der Weltpolitik beharrt. Zum zweiten gegen China, das bei rasantem Aufstieg im Begriff ist, zur Weltmacht zu werden. Dies suchen die transatlantischen Staaten zu verhindern. Der Machtkampf gegen Russland wie gegen China wird politisch, wirtschaftlich und medial geführt. In wachsendem Maß kommt ein militärischer Aufmarsch hinzu. Der Band zeigt: Eine künftige militärische Konfrontation, mit der bei weiterer Brandbeschleunigung auch das Szenario eines allumfassenden Weltkriegs bedrohlich aufscheint, liegt in der Logik dieser Politik.
Wir alle bemerken es an der Tankstelle oder beim Blick auf die Stromrechnung: Die Preise für Strom, Gas und Benzin sind derzeit so hoch wie nie. In der aktuellen Folge liefert der Journalist Jörg Kronauer eine marxistische Analyse der aktuellen Situation. Außerdem kommen bei Basti und Michi zwei Menschen zu Wort, die sich mit Stromsperren (und damit mit den Auswirkungen der hohen Preise) beschäftigen: Siw Mammitzsch von der Mieterberatung Essen und der Gladbecker DKP-Stadtrat Gerhard Dorka. Und am Ende verraten die Moderatoren, wie jeder von uns etwas gegen die hohen Energiepreise tun kann.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.04.29.068478v1?rss=1 Authors: Gal, A., Saragosti, J., Kronauer, D. J. Abstract: Recent years have seen a surge in methods to track and analyze animal behavior. Nevertheless, tracking individuals in closely interacting, group-living organisms remains a challenge. Here we present anTraX, an algorithm and software package for high-throughput video tracking of color-tagged insects. anTraX combines neural network classification of animals with a novel approach for representing tracking data as a graph, enabling individual tracking even in cases where it is difficult to segment animals from one another, or where tags are obscured. The use of color tags, a well-established and robust method for marking individual insects in groups, relaxes requirements for image size and quality, and makes the software broadly applicable. anTraX is readily integrated into existing tools and methods for automated image analysis of behavior to further augment its output. anTraX can handle large-scale experiments with minimal human involvement, allowing researchers to simultaneously monitor many social groups over long time periods.

Das letzte Buch der im Juli verstorbenen Büchnerpreisträgerin. Romangeschichten, präsentiert von einem Alter Ego der Autorin selbst. Nie harmlos, aber stets von formvollendeter Eleganz und voll von subtilen Reflexionen.
Mitschnitt einer Veranstaltung im Jahr 2014 in der Reihe "Forum Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik" Referent: Prof. Martin Kronauer, Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin, Fachgebiet: Strukturwandel und Wohlfahrtsstaat in internationaler Perspektive Moderation: Dr. Ute Kalbitzer Umkämpft – gefährdet – verschwiegen: gesellschaftliche Voraussetzungen für individuelle Autonomie In den letzten Jahren haben Tendenzen der Fragmentierung der Gesellschaft und der Exklusion größerer Teile der Bevölkerung stark zugenommen. Mit der einseitigen Einschreibung der individuellen Eigenverantwortung - nicht nur in die Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik -, konnten Prekarisierung und Exklusion zunehmend sowohl die Erwerbsarbeit als auch andere Lebensbereiche der Gesellschaft ergreifen und gefährden damit gerade die individuelle Autonomie der Gesellschaftsmitglieder in modernen Gesellschaften. Ausgehend von der These, dass diese Entwicklungen quer zu Klassenstrukturen verlaufen und zu neuen wie umfassenden Ungleichheiten und Unsicherheiten führen, werden mögliche sozialpolitische Alternativen und neue politische Allianzen vorgestellt. Im Mittelpunkt wird die Frage stehen, welche gesellschaftlichen Sicherheiten ein selbstbestimmtes Leben ermöglichen können? Hier rücken die im Kapitalismus immer umkämpften und gefährdeten sowie vom Neoliberalismus verschwiegenen gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen für Autonomie und Teilhabe aller wieder in den Mittelpunkt und machen deutlich, vor welchen schwierigen Aufgaben eine linke Sozial- und Wirtschaftspolitik steht.

Chad and Brian go it alone through Kronauer's "night of amok" as he attempt to murder Solovyei for his myriad crimes. Then they enter into part four of the book, "Taiga," which is a collection of "narracts" set some seven hundred (or a thousand?) years in the future. Hannko is recreating the feminist post-exotic texts from before, along with her dad's crazy ramblings; Kronauer is living in oil, suffering the thousand-plus year punishment Solovyei promised him.

With just Chad and Brian on this week's episode, the show turns almost full superhero. We get Chad's weirdly specific—and unnerving—Volodine-influenced dream. We get to see Samiya Schmidt transform into a raging version of Captain Marvel/Banshee. We get to see Kronauer assume his role as the one chosen to take down Solovyei. Brian and Chad also talk about the influence of language and ideologies on the characters, "cock's language" and "to rut," and speculate about just who is dreaming the dreamer.

Some of our episodes talk about a conductor’s journey as a musician, or their philosophical understanding of the nature of choral music. Some episodes are pure toolkits: here’s what you need to solve your problems. This episode has the rare distinction of being both. Dr. Kronauer and Ryan cover the “hows” of directing teenage male voices, as well as the “whys” behind them. You’re going to want to listen to this one twice. Listen: Highlight to Tweet: “Living rigidly is not the game. The game is finding elasticity.” - Steven Kronauer Show Notes: Try thinking less in terms of “blend,” and more in terms of “agreement.” For the teenage male singer, it’s important to reassure them that change is a part of life. Whatever they are working with (or through) will be fine. When dealing with limited range, you need to offer patience and guidance. Provide a model. Avoiding “compensation,” or reaching for a pitch. (“that giraffe thing” - Ryan Guth) Posture and alignment are always important, but especially so for teenage boys. Accept and love this period of life where you’re going through change! Falsetto is huge. HUGE. Sing into a straw in a cup of water, so that the sound is focused at the front of the bubbles. It helps practice constant airflow. Hum with the tongue between the lips, concentrating on the vibration of the vocal folds while letting go of tensions. “You learn to sing by singing.” Place your singers according to what will be healthy for them. Bio: DR. STEVEN KRONAUER, a highly experienced voice teacher, tenor, and conductor, is the conductor of Los Angeles Children’s Chorus’ Young Men’s Ensemble, comprised of young men with changing voices. After completing two Master’s degrees at the University of Michigan, one in Voice Performance and the other in Choral Conducting, Dr. Kronauer began his professional career in the chorus of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, Germany, as its youngest member ever. During his ten-year engagement, he had the privilege of meeting and studying with many noted singers of the highest echelon, including world famous Verdi tenor Dennis O’Neill and Wagnerian baritone Donald MacIntyre. Dr. Kronauer was employed as a soloist with the Bavarian State Opera for television broadcasts, CD recordings, and live radio performances, appearing with Renee Fleming, Kurt Moll, and many others, in secondary tenor roles. Dr. Kronauer performed the role of Smy in a world premiere of the German opera Peter Pan, by Willfried Hiller, directed by the world famous stage director August Everding. This performance was recorded at the Prinz-Regenten Theatre in Munich, Germany, and distributed by Deutche Gramaphone. Dr. Kronauer has studied oratorio with the finest of the field, including Ernst Haefliger and Peter Schreier, in Germany (while being a guest observer as a conductor at the Deutche Stats Oper in Berlin, Germany). He also studied with tenor John McCollum in the United States. Since then, he established a career in Europe singing oratorio under such noted conductors as Karl Anton Richenbacher and Peter Schneider. Additionally, Dr. Kronauer has sung as a soloist at the Cologne Philharmonic, and with the Munich Philharmonic in Germany. He has sung more than 100 performances of Carmina Burana, internationally. Dr. Kronauer’s interest in opera conducting was enhanced upon becoming acquainted with Zubin Mehta and Wolfgang Sawalisch at the Munich Opera. Dr. Kronauer is a soloist with many organizations since his return from Europe, including a frequent guest with the Angeles Chorale and the National Children’s Chorus, here in Los Angeles. Dr. Kronauer completed his doctorate degree at the University of California, Los Angeles in choral conducting and operatic conducting under the direction of Donald Neuen and William Vendice, respectively. He has worked with Donald Neuen as an assistant conductor with the UCLA Chorale and with Maestro Vendice as the assistant conductor of the UCLA Opera. Previously, The University of Michigan offered Dr. Kronauer the opportunity of completing two Masters Degrees in Vocal Performance (under Lorna Haywood and John McCollum) and Choral Conducting (under Theodore Morrison). There, he was the Assistant Conductor for Jerry Blackstone and the University of Michigan Men’s Glee Club. He has also led a choral workshop at the University of Munich. Dr. Kronauer’s expertise focused on performance practice of American and British chorale music. While in Munich he formed The Munich Opera Chamber Chorus, which sang some of the great chamber music of the Germanic tradition, including the complete Liebeslieder waltzes. Dr. Kronauer has taught on the voice faculty of the Interlochen Arts Camp and at the University of California, Irvine. He also had the honor of presenting a lecture to the National Association of Teacher’s of Singing on the “Dos and Don’ts of Starting a Singing Career in Germany.” Dr. Kronauer taught for three years as a member of the voice faculty, and the music director of the opera program at California State University, Los Angeles, conducting fully staged performances of Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck and L’incornatione di Poppea, by Monteverdi. Dr. Kronauer was the Acting Chair of the voice department of the University of California, Santa Barbara for two years and the director of opera activities producing. Currently Dr. Kronauer has a busy private voice studio and is on the faculty of California State University, Long Beach at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music teaching voice and German diction.
