The Era of the Martyrs

Abstract

and multiple times at graduate workshops organized by the Dutch National Research School in Classical Studies (OIKOS). I have also presented my work at the International Congress of Papyrology held at Barcelona in August 2016. I am grateful for the feedback and fruitful discussions at these events. Special thanks must go to Jan Bremmer's keen eye for detail in these early phases of my research as well as after the dissertation defence, when he read through the entire manuscript and brought my attention to studies or texts that I would otherwise have missed. I would like to thank the Graduate School for the funding that made these exchanges possible. The FAZIT-Stiftung further generously funded my trip to Ottawa.In the early summer of 2018, I submitted my dissertation. Soon afterwards, I travelled to Paris to participate in the Summer School in Coptic Papyrology. The summer school provides training in Coptic papyrology that is available in only a few institutions worldwide, and I have benefited immensely from my participation: my time in Paris not only allowed me to bring my skills in Coptic to the next level, but also gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of papyrology in an environment with many experts in the field. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Anne Boud'Hors for organizing this summer school and taking the time to discuss Coptic papyrological issues with me when I first encountered them in new contexts. After the summer school, coorganizers Alain Delattre and Gesa Schenke kindly read chapter two of the dissertation and I am immensely grateful for their corrections and suggestions.The dissertation was defended in Munich on 27 November 2018. Not long afterwards, I was given a position as a Volontärin, a form of apprenticeship in the museum sector in Germany, at the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, with a first posting at the Staatliches Museum Ägyptischer Kunst in Munich. The first half year as an assistant curator at the said museum left me little time to revise the dissertation, but it did give me the opportunity to look at Roman and Late Antique Egypt from a broader perspective. At the start of the second half year, when I was stationed at the Archäologische Staatssammlung in Munich, the editors of Millennium Studies accepted the manuscript of my dissertation for publication. I would like to thank Rene Pfeilschifter and the anonymous referee for their helpful suggestions and comments on the manuscript. My gratitude also goes to Anne Rudolph, production manager at De Gruyter, who guided the stages of the publication and editing process with meticulous care.Finally, and above all, I express gratitude to my parents, Seine and Ida, who have always supported me, my sister Gretha, who encouraged this academic adventure from the very beginning, and my husband Koji, whose support and love were invaluable for the completion of this book.Munich,

Electroweak precision pseudo-observables at the e+e− Z-resonance peak

“…The techniques presented here can be extended for the computation of massive three-loop electroweak Feynman integrals needed for Z-peak physics. It is also worth mentioning that the differential equations method [24,25] and the quoted IBP reductions are rapidly developing [26,27]. They are expected to be very helpful, if not decisive for solving complete sets of integrals, as the third numerical method in the forthcoming three-loop studies.…”
