description: The paper is a case study of two extensively-glazed steel- framed buildings, Jean Prouvé’s 1957 temporary school in Villejuif, France, and, Müller Verdan Architekten’s 2006 Sporthalle “Gotthelf” in Thun, Switzerland, that integrate natural ventilation within the building structure itself. Practically, this unique approach enables the designers to provide usually mutually exclusive features, large glass formats and natural ventilation, without incurring the various penalties associated with operating such very heavy elements. Conceptually, the idea of integrating the ventilation function within structural members goes against the standard orthodoxy consisting of the separation of enclosure systems from skeletal structural systems. This dichotomy has been one of the canonical rules of Modern Architecture ever since Le Corbusier enshrined it in his “Five Points”. It remains today the prevailing paradigm in curtain wall-type envelopes. These two projects deserve to be better known because of their integrative design intelligence, and, because they challenge the dominant paradigm of separation of structure and enclosure, and in doing so, they open interesting design perspectives regarding the sustainable integration of natural ventilation in buildings. The method for researching Prouvé’s building is archival research- and analysis-based. In the case of the Müller Verdan’s Sporthalle, the analysis of drawings is complemented with direct on-site observations and conversations with the architects. The paper also compares and contrasts the two projects with special focus on their structural and natural ventilation aspects.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

title: Progress at What Price?: Defenses of Indigenous Peoples in Argentine Writing about Patagonia (1894-1904)
Creators: name: Kerr, Ashley
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: Official history boasts that by the mid-1880s, the Argentine government had definitively brought Patagonia under national control, neutralizing the savagery associated with both the land and the indigenous people who lived there. The 1881 Tratado de Límites between Argentina and Chile and the 1884 Ley Orgánica de los Territorios Nacionales demarcated the limits of national sovereignty and organized the newly-formed provinces of Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, and Tierra del Fuego. General Lorenzo Vittner declared the successful end of the Conquista del desierto in 1885, ending military efforts to subdue indigenous populations in the south (Mases 59). At the same time, presidents Julio A. Roca (1880-85) and Miguel Juarez Celman (1886-1890) organized the sale of public lands and encouraged immigration through propaganda, subsidized passages, and the work of official agents in Europe (Valko 29). The realization of the dream of a white, civilized Argentina appeared to be right around the corner.

description: We derive quantitative predictions of the optical and X-ray luminosity functions (LF) for QSs in the redshift range $z<3$. Based on BH paradigm, we investigate how the accretion is controlled by the surrounding structures, as these grow hierarchically. We argue that for $z < 3$ efficient black hole fueling is triggered by the encounters of a gas-rich host with its companions in a group. The dispersion of the dynamical parameters in the encounters produces a double power-law LF. Strong luminosity evolution (LE) is produced as these encounters deplete the gas supply in the host; an additional, milder density evolution obtains since the interactions become progressively rarer as the groups grow richer but less dense. From the agreement with the optical and the X-ray data, we conclude that the evolution of the bright quasars is articulated in two ways. Earlier than $z~3$ the gas-rich protogalaxies grow by merging, which also induces parallel growth of central holes accreting at Eddington rates. In the later era of group assemblage the host encounters with companions drive onto already existing holes further but meager accretion; these consume the gas in the hosts, and cause supply-limited emissions which are intermittent, go progressively sub-Eddington and peter out. Then other fueling processes come to the foreground; we discuss the faint emissions, especially noticeable in X-rays, which are expected when hosts in the field cannibalize satellite galaxies with their meager gas contents.

description: We consider type IIB supergravity backgrounds which describe marginal deformations of the Coulomb branch of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory with SO(4) x SO(2) global symmetry. Wilson loop calculations indicate that certain deformations enhance the Coulombic attraction between quarks and anti-quarks at the UV conformal fixed-point. In the IR region, these deformations can induce a transition to linear confinement.

description: A sensitive and simple microwell based competition enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3) was developed. Nicrowells coated with antibody were incubated with antigen followed by adding horseradish peroxidase (HRPO) conjugate. The assay, which can be performed within two hours at room temperature, involved simultaneous incubation of E2 - or E3-HRPO conjugate and serum sample in polystyrene microwells coated with anti- E2 or anti-E3 gamma globulin fraction.

Gamma globulin was isolated from whole anti-serum by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. A carbodiimide coupling method was utilized to prepare the E2 - and E3-HRPO conjugates.

The detection limit of the E2 assay is 2.0 pg/mL and 6.0 ng/mL for the E3 assay. Precision studies involving pooled serum samples with three different levels of E2 and E3 were performed . Intra-assay coefficients of variation of 15.0%, 8.83%, and 8.13% were obtained for E2 at 20.48 pg/mL, 79.14 pg/mL, and 424.6 pg/mL, and of 12.4%, 9.63%, and 9.08% for E3 at 49.19 ng/mL, 153.4 ng/mL, and 505.7 ng/mL. Interassay coefficients of variation of 18.04&, 10.404, and 8.70% were obtained for E2 at 20.57 pg/mL, 78.67 pg/mL, and 422.0 pg/mL, and of 15.06%, 12.33%, and 9.84% for E, at 47.76 ng/mL, 153.4 ng/mL, and 504.7 ng/mL. Values for total E2 and total E3 so determined correlated well with those determined by radioimmunoassay with correlation coefficient of 0.955 and 0.959 respectively.

title: Translating Rosalía de Castro’s saudade into English
Creators: name: Krause, James R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Critics of Rosalía de Castro frequently recognize her participation in the Galician revival of culture and language, known as the Rexurdimento, in the latter half of the Nineteenth Century. Her final work, En las orillas del Sar (1884), has garnered particular praise for the richness of its aesthetic, linguistic, and socio-cultural aspects. Castro, however, is not widely known to readers of English, even though there are three anthologies of her poetry in translation. In 1937, S. Griswold Morley published selections in the bilingual edition, Beside the River Sar. Critics reviewed it favorably, but some of the translations read stiff and dated today. Charles David Ley published a selection of Castro’s Galician poetry from both Cantares gallegos (1863) and Follas novas (1880) in 1964. Like the Morley translations, they seem a bit stilted to the modern reader. In 1991, a new anthology, simply titled Poems, was translated by Anna-Marie Aldaz, Barbara N. Gantt, and Anne C. Bromley. This collection presents a selection of poems and prologues from Cantares, Follas novas, as well as En las orillas del Sar. Their updated translations introduce a new generation of readers to Rosalía de Castro. These three collections, however, have been given short shrift in critical studies. Other than Joyce Tolliver’s article published in 2002, which studies the construction of gender in the 1937 and 1991 editions, there are no critical studies that approach these translations.

description: We report the variable X-ray emission from BL Lacertae detected in the ASCA ToO observation conducted during the EGRET and RXTE pointings, coincident with the 1997 July outburst. The source showed a historically high state of X-ray, optical, and gamma-ray emission, with its 2-10 keV flux peaking at ~3.3 E-11 erg/cm2/s. This is more than 3 times higher than the value measured by ASCA in 1995. We detected two rapid flares which occured only in the soft X-ray band, while the hard X-ray flux also increased, but decayed with a much longer time scale. Together with the requirement of a very steep and varying power law dominating the soft X-ray band in addition to the hard power law, we suggest that both the high energy end of the synchrotron spectrum and the hard inverse Compton spectrum were visible in this source during the outburst. We discuss the possible origins of the observed variability time scales, and interpret the short time scales of the soft X-ray variability as reflecting the size of the emission region.

description: In any dimension $D$, the Euclidean Einstein-Hilbert action, which describes gravity in the absence of matter, can be discretized over random discrete spaces obtained by gluing families of polytopes together in all possible ways. In the physical limit of small Newton constant, only the spaces which maximize the mean curvature survive. In two dimensions, this results in a theory of random discrete spheres, which converge in the continuum limit towards the Brownian sphere, a random fractal space interpreted as a quantum random space-time. In this limit, the continuous Liouville theory of $D=2$ quantum gravity is recovered. Previous results in higher dimension regarded triangulations - gluings of tetrahedra or $D$-dimensional generalizations, leading to the continuum random tree, or gluings of simple colored building blocks of small sizes, for which multi-trace matrix model results are recovered. This work aims at providing combinatorial tools which would allow a systematic study of richer building blocks and of the spaces they generate in the continuum. We develop a bijection with stacked two-dimensional discrete surfaces, and detail how it can be used to classify discrete spaces according to their mean curvature and topology. A number of blocks are analyzed, including the new infinite family of bi-pyramids, as well as toroidal and $D$-dimensional generalizations. The relation to random tensor models is detailed. A central concern is the lowest bound on the number of ($D-2$)-cells for any given blocks, or equivalently the right scaling for the associated tensor model to have a well-behaved $1/N$ expansion. We also apply our bijection to the identification of the graphs contributing at any order to the $2n$-point functions of the colored SYK model, and to the enumeration of generalized unicellular maps - spaces obtained from a single building block - according to their mean curvature.

description: The Open Computing Cluster for Advanced data Manipulation (OCCAM) is a multi-purpose flexible HPC cluster designed and operated by a collaboration between the University of Torino and the Sezione di Torino of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare. It is aimed at providing a flexible, reconfigurable and extendable infrastructure to cater to a wide range of different scientific computing use cases, including ones from solid-state chemistry, high-energy physics, computer science, big data analytics, computational biology, genomics and many others. Furthermore, it will serve as a platform for R&D activities on computational technologies themselves, with topics ranging from GPU acceleration to Cloud Computing technologies. A heterogeneous and reconfigurable system like this poses a number of challenges related to the frequency at which heterogeneous hardware resources might change their availability and shareability status, which in turn affect methods and means to allocate, manage, optimize, bill, monitor VMs, containers, virtual farms, jobs, interactive bare-metal sessions, etc. This work describes some of the use cases that prompted the design and construction of the HPC cluster, its architecture and resource provisioning model, along with a first characterization of its performance by some synthetic benchmark tools and a few realistic use-case tests.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: En los últimos años, las estrictas divisiones establecidas por la historiografía tradicional para dar cuenta de la producción literaria finisecular en el territorio español, han sido objeto de significativas revisiones críticas. Las versiones dicotómicas de Pedro Salinas o la más radicalizada de Díaz Plaja, apoyadas en una estricta separación de “modernismo” y “generación del 98,” han evolucionado hacia una concepción más abarcadora. En este sentido, la expresión “crisis de fin de siglo” permite englobar conceptos filosóficos como el positivismo o el krausismo, que se extienden más allá del territorio nacional, así como fenómenos políticos e históricos relevantes al final de siglo. En el prurito de contextualizar la producción española en un marco geográfico más extenso, sin embargo, se corre el riesgo de privilegiar ciertos referentes espaciales, como el europeo y subestimar, otros, como el latinoamericano, clave en la España finisecular. El propósito del presente ensayo es indagar en estas conexiones geográficas, y explorar las dimensiones temporales que el modernismo, como movimiento literario originario en Latinoamérica, tuvo con el regeneracionismo, un movimiento sociológico oriundo del suelo peninsular. En este sentido, la obra de Rubén Darío resulta muy reveladora por ejemplificar ciertas premisas regeneracionistas y nutrirse del debate transatlántico que estas premisas suscitaron en el cambio de siglo.

description: Objectives Using violent crime data from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we investigate the performance of an “early warning system” (EWS) for starting/stopping police deployments to hot spots for crime prevention. We show that (1) even the hottest chronic hot spots are dynamic with months “on” and “off” and (2) temporary hot spots are also targets for prevention. We compare the performance of EWS to constant deployment at chronic hot spots. Methods We estimate chronic hot spots using kernel density smoothing. We use simple methods for implementing EWS rules for detecting flare-ups, predicting persistence of flare-ups, and stopping deployments. Using 2000–2010 data we run computational experiments varying size of hot spots and rule thresholds to tune EWS. Results Tradeoff curves with crimes exposed to prevention efforts versus area of the city under prevention workload show that static and dynamic deployments have nearly the same efficiency. Different, however, is land-use distribution. While chronic hot spots tend to be in or adjacent to commercial areas, dynamic hot spots have significantly more and widely-scattered residential locations. We argue that dynamic hot spots thus have higher potential for reducing fear of crime and providing responsive police services to neighborhoods. Conclusions Even though police resources are “wasted” during “off” months by constant deployment to chronic hot spots, a dynamic system of deployment with simple methods cannot improve the efficiency of crime prevention. EWS comparably “wastes” resources because of false positives for hot-spot persistence and waiting to confirm hot-spot extinguishment. Nevertheless, EWS is more responsive to residential crime

In 1D, the intrinsic oscillations manifest themselves as flippings between spatially even and odd components of striped solitons, while in 2D the system features periodic transitions between zero-vorticity and vortical components of semi-vortex solitons. The consideration is performed by means of a combination of analytical and numerical methods.

description: Building construction costs over a trillion dollars and accounts for half of the non-renewable resources consumed on an annual basis in the US, with materials and equipment comprising three-quarters of these costs. While not the final arbiters, architects play a critical role in determining what materials are specified for construction projects. Material selection in architecture has historically been taught through high- level lectures accompanied by empirical, evidence- based exercises and precedent studies during school followed by “in the field” experience for interns in practice. While there are many great resources that discuss material properties and analyze the use of specific materials in iconic projects through a case study approach, there is a significant gap in the literature and support materials when it comes to how and why materials are selected in the first place. With the rapidly evolving nature of digital tools, ever-expanding range of materials available on the market, and increasing standards for building performance, there has never been a greater need for comprehensive resources to support architects’ and educators’ understanding of the interconnected factors that influence and support informed decisions that are justifiable to all project stakeholders. This paper presents the problem-setting process; findings from first-hand interviews with almost twenty practitioners at leading firms in New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco that have been recognized for their thoughtful use of materials; and plans for the next targeted phase of the work. University research seed funding supported the initial phase of this research, which was designed to validate assumptions about the unique nature of the material selection process. We plan that this study will serve as the first step toward developing codified resources to support a more evidence-based approach in education and practice.

description: We apply a recently developed semiclassical theory of short periodic orbits to the continuously open quantum tribaker map. In this paradigmatic system the trajectories are partially bounced back according to continuous reflectivity functions. This is relevant in many situations that include optical microresonators and more complicated boundary conditions. In a perturbative regime, the shortest periodic orbits belonging to the classical repeller of the open map - a cantor set given by a region of exactly zero reflectivity - prove to be extremely robust in supporting a set of long-lived resonances of the continuously open quantum maps. Moreover, for step like functions a significant reduction in the number needed is obtained, similarly to the completely open situation. This happens despite a strong change in the spectral properties when compared to the discontinuous reflectivity case.

description: Santiago de Chile, September 18, 1845: General Diego José Benavente (1790-1867) read a speech about his involvement in the independence movement at the University of Chile. The attendants to his address included Manuel Bulnes, President of the Republic; Manuel Montt, Minister of Education; Andrés Bello, Rector of the University; and heads of the state institutions. In front of them, Benavente asserted that if independence heroes were alive, “cuánta ser[ía] su satisfacción y complacencia al ver la nación independiente [. . .] gozando profunda paz bajo la égida de sus instituciones [y marchando] hacia la realización de los altos fines que ellos se propusieron” (122-23). An independence figure himself, Benavente linked the emancipatory goals in the country to the consolidation of a republican state apparatus. With respect to the University of Chile, he stated that a specific aim of the founding fathers was “la erección de este templo para que sus hijos vinieran a iniciarse en los sublimes misterios de aquellas ciencias que forman, conservan, y enriquecen a los Estados” (123).

description: The preparation of many composites requires the intermixing of several macromolecular fluids along with the addition of solid filler particles. These fillers are usuallly polydisperse and there is an extensive experimental evidence that their size and shape profoundly affects the properties of the resulting material. In particular, it is generally found that the percolation threshold decreases as the size disparity between the different particles present in a system increases and that the threshold decreases with the aspect ratio of the particles. Here a recursive approach that we have recently introduced is applied to the study of the percolation of particles of different sizes and shapes, without the presence of a polymer matrix, on a lattice in various phases including metastable states. In our approach the original lattice is replaced by a recursive structure on which calculations are done exactly and interactions as well as size and shape disparities can be easily taken into account In the previous paper we have introduced the recursive approach and shown how correlations among particles of the same size can affect percolation. Before considering the complete system made of particles of various sizes and shapes embedded in a polymer matrix here we describe the properties of systems made of particles without any matrix. The approach appears to be extremely successful since it is able to capture most of the important features observed in experiments.

description: The FLUKA Monte Carlo program is used to calculate the effects of hadroproduction by primary gamma rays incident upon the earth's atmosphere; for the results presented in this paper, only primary angles at 0 degrees from zenith are considered. The FLUKA code is believed to be quite accurate in reproducing experimental photon hadroproduction data in the 1 GeV to 10 TeV energy range studied. The charged pions which are so produced can decay to muons with sufficient energy to reach ground level. The number of these muons and their radial and energy distribution are studied for incident gamma ray energies from 1 GeV to 10 TeV. The number of these muons is not negligible; they can, in certain circumstances, be used to study potential sources of gamma rays like gamma ray bursts. It is found, for example, that a 10 TeV incident primary gamma ray produces, on average, 3.4 muons which reach ground level; the gamma ray energy which produces the maximum number of muons at ground level depends on the spectral index of the primary gamma spectrum, a constant which describes how the primary gamma flux rises with decreasing primary energy. An example: for a differential spectral index of 2.7, there is a broad maximum number of muons coming from ~ 30 GeV primary gamma ray energy.

Scalar Casimir densities for cylindrically symmetric Robin boundaries

description: Wightman function, the vacuum expectation values of the field square and the energy-momentum tensor are investigated for a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter in the region between two coaxial cylindrical boundaries. It is assumed that the field obeys general Robin boundary conditions on bounding surfaces. The application of a variant of the generalized Abel-Plana formula allows to extract from the expectation values the contribution from single shells and to present the interference part in terms of exponentially convergent integrals. The vacuum forces acting on the boundaries are presented as the sum of self-action and interaction terms. The first one contains well-known surface divergences and needs a further renormalization. The interaction forces between the cylindrical boundaries are finite and are attractive for special cases of Dirichlet and Neumann scalars. For the general Robin case the interaction forces can be both attractive or repulsive depending on the coefficients in the boundary conditions. The total Casimir energy is evaluated by using the zeta function regularization technique. It is shown that it contains a part which is located on bounding surfaces. The formula for the interference part of the surface energy is derived and the energy balance is discussed.

title: Shifting Critical Approaches to the Elusive Jewishness of María by Jorge Isaacs
Creators: name: Lindstrom, Naomi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: This study examines and evaluates the ways in which critics have dealt with the question of a Jewish thematic current, self-awareness, or perspective in the much-reprinted 1867 novel María by the Colombian writer Jorge Isaacs (1837-1895). While scholars have long exhibited an awareness of Isaacs’s paternal Jewish descent and at times made observations concerning Jewish references or a Jewish outlook in the novel, it was Doris Sommer’s 1989 article “El mal de María: (Con)fusión en un romance nacional,” later included in her influential Foundational Fictions: The National Romances of Latin America (1991), that launched the current discussion over Jewish themes or thought in the novel. This overview first summarizes the pre-1980s debate over Jewish properties of María, identifying shifts in critical methodology that either inhibited or stimulated its growth as a question for academic study. This section of the essay is briefer, since Elzbieta Sklodowska’s 1983 “ María, de Jorge Isaacs, ante la crítica” provides a panoramic overview of María criticism at the time, and since Jewish themes are not explored as extensively in earlier studies. My essay then focuses more closely on studies from the 1980s onward and offers recommendations for how research on this topic may continue to evolve.

description: We use a recently developed lattice model to study the percolation of particles of different sizes and shapes in the presence of a polymer matrix. The polymer is modeled as an infinitely long semiflexible chain. We study the effects of the stiffness of the polymer, the size disparity of the filler particles, their aspect ratio and the interactions between fillers and polymer on the percolation properties of the system. The lattice model is solved exactly on a recursive Husimi lattice. The solution represent an approximate solution for a regular lattice. Our results are able to reproduce most of the experimental findings that have been observed in the literature. In particular, we observe how an increase in the size disparity of the filler particles dispersed in the matrix as well as an aincrease of their aspect ratio decreases the percolation threshold.

description: Petrovskii elliptic systems of linear differential equations given on a closed smooth manifold are investigated on the extended Sobolev scale. This scale consists of all Hilbert spaces that are interpolation spaces with respect to the Hilbert Sobolev scale. Theorems on the solvability of the elliptic systems on the extended Sobolev scale are proved. An a priori estimate for solutions is obtained, and their regularity is studied.

description: En Sab (1841), la primera y más conocida de las novelas de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, los personajes principales viven bajo varios sistemas represivos. Priman entre éstos la esclavitud y el matrimonio, el cual se caracteriza en la novela como otra variante de la esclavitud. Los personajes femeninos padecen las restricciones de una sociedad patriarcal: la obsesión social con el mantenimiento de la virginidad de las mujeres solteras limita sus movimientos e incluso una de las heroínas pierde control de su fortuna al casarse. La desigualdad económica también disminuye la libertad de varios personajes. Teresa, una pariente ilegítima recogida por los de B . . . , la familia principal de la novela, es, como ha señalado Harter, una “compañera-sirviente” (129) en la casa debido a su falta de recursos. Además, todos los miembros de la familia de B . . . , que ejemplifican la vida tradicional de los terratenientes cubanos, en el curso de la novela llegan a ser víctimas de una nueva forma de represión cuando, con el matrimonio de Carlota, la hija mayor, sus tierras y casa pasan a manos de unos ingleses capitalistas.

description: A two-dimensional topological sigma-model on a generalized Calabi-Yau target space $X$ is defined. The model is constructed in Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism using only a generalized complex structure $J$ and a pure spinor $ρ$ on $X$. In the present construction the algebra of $Q$-transformations automatically closes off-shell, the model transparently depends only on $J$, the algebra of observables and correlation functions for topologically trivial maps in genus zero are easily defined. The extended moduli space appears naturally. The familiar action of the twisted N=2 CFT can be recovered after a gauge fixing. In the open case, we consider an example of generalized deformation of complex structure by a holomorphic Poisson bivector $β$ and recover holomorphic noncommutative Kontsevich $*$-product.

description: We have made a thorough investigation of the nuclear structure function W_2A in the region of 0.8 < x < 1.5 and Q^2 < 20 GeV^2, separating the quasielastic and inelastic plus deep inelastic contributions. The agreement with present experimental data is good giving support to the results for both channels. Predictions are made in yet unexplored regions of x and Q^2 to assert the weight of the quasielastic or inelastic channels. We find that at Q^2 < 4 GeV^2 the structure function is dominated by the quasielastic contributions for x < 1.5, while for values of Q^2 > 15 GeV^2 and the range of x studied the inelastic channels are over one order of magnitude bigger than the quasielastic one. The potential of the structure function at x > 1 as a source of information on nuclear correlations is stressed once more.
