Animals in literature

description: Disability and animality have frequently been conjoined in American literature as the limit cases of cognition, language, and narrative. In modern and contemporary fiction, this intersection is not just thematic, but also an opportunity for formal experimentation. My dissertation considers a century-spanning group of authors that includes William Faulkner, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and contemporary disabled writers and artists such as Jillian Weise, Kathy High, and Sharona Franklin. It uses a combination of close reading, historical research, and theoretical analysis to argue that some of the last century’s most influential literary experiments have built upon aesthetic modes associated with both disability and animality. For instance, in The Sound and the Fury, Benjy Compson’s famously associative narration is driven as much by canine-identified sensory tendencies of smell and touch as it is by human cognitive difference, and the folkloric interludes central to Their Eyes Were Watching God are catalyzed by the work-debilitated body of a mule. Few scholars have recognized the extent to which disability and animality are entangled as aesthetic categories, because each field has typically disavowed the other: disability studies makes “full humanity” a goal while assuming the inferiority of nonhumans, and animal studies often elevates nonhuman species by emphasizing their intelligence and physical abilities. My project bridges this impasse by showing how disability and animality come together to push language and literature in new directions, revealing an unrecognized literary tradition in which narratorial capacity, ethical consideration, and even access to the text do not depend on supposedly human-defining abilities like spoken language and written literacy.

description: Decision theory formally solves the problem of rational agents in uncertain worlds if the true environmental probability distribution is known. Solomonoff's theory of universal induction formally solves the problem of sequence prediction for unknown distribution. We unify both theories and give strong arguments that the resulting universal AIXI model behaves optimal in any computable environment. The major drawback of the AIXI model is that it is uncomputable. To overcome this problem, we construct a modified algorithm AIXI^tl, which is still superior to any other time t and space l bounded agent. The computation time of AIXI^tl is of the order t x 2^l.

description: Humans, octopuses, bees, scrub jays, and dogs have all been shown to have rich cognitive capacities, but their minds work very differently. What are the most important factors contributing to the kind of mind an animal has? I show that the ways in which an animal relates to time—its ways of representing the temporal and the nature of its memory—are crucial to the rest of its capacities. I develop empirically-informed philosophical accounts of the natures of episodic memory, and of the representation of temporal properties, temporal frameworks, and narratives. And I use these accounts to interpret the relevant empirical literature, and to show how these capacities can transform the extent to which animals can understand the complexity of the world.

description: Accurate control of quantum systems requires precise measurement of the parameters that govern the dynamics, including control fields and interactions with the environment. Parameters will drift in time and experiments interleave protocols that perform parameter estimation with protocols that measure the dynamics of interest. Here we specialize to a system made of qubits where the dynamics correspond to a quantum computation. We propose setting aside some qubits, which we call spectator qubits, to be measured periodically during the computation, to act as probes of the changing experimental and environmental parameters. By using control strategies that minimize the sensitivity of the qubits involved in the computation, we can acquire sufficient information from the spectator qubits to update our estimates of the parameters and improve our control. As a result, we can increase the length of experiment where the dynamics of the data qubits are highly reliable. In particular, we simulate how spectator qubits can keep the error level of operations on data qubits below a $10^{-4}$ threshold in two scenarios involving coherent errors: a classical magnetic field gradient dynamically decoupled with sequences of two or four $π$-pulses, and laser beam instability detected via crosstalk with neighboring atoms in an ion trap.

description: Motivated by black hole physics, we define the Unruh state for a scalar field in de Sitter space. Like the Bunch-Davies state, the Unruh-de Sitter state appears thermal to a static observer. However, it breaks some of the symmetries of de Sitter space. We calculate the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in the Unruh-de Sitter state in two dimensions and find a non-vanishing flux of outgoing negative energy. Extrapolating the result to four dimensions, we argue that this backreacts on the initial de Sitter geometry semi-classically. Notably, we estimate that de Sitter space is destabilized on a timescale set by the gravitational entropy; analogous to black hole evaporation, the endpoint of this instability is a singular geometry outside the regime of effective field theory. Finally, we suggest that the Unruh-de Sitter state may be a natural initial state for patches of de Sitter space, and discuss the implications for slow-roll and eternal inflation, and for de Sitter thermodynamics.

description: We consider 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories with R-symmetry on a hemisphere times a torus. We apply localization techniques to evaluate the exact partition function through a cohomological reformulation of the supersymmetry transformations. Our results represent the natural elliptic lifts of the lower dimensional analogs as well as a field theoretic derivation of the conjectured 4d holomorphic blocks, from which partition functions of compact spaces with diverse topology can be recovered through gluing. We also analyze the different boundary conditions which can naturally be imposed on the chiral multiplets, which turn out to be either Dirichlet or Robin-like. We show that different boundary conditions are related to each other by coupling the bulk to 3d $\mathcal{N}=1$ degrees of freedom on the boundary three-torus, for which we derive explicit 1-loop determinants.

Placing this important example of a chiral medium onto a curved geometry reveals the geometric nature of odd viscosity. The anomalous odd viscosity of the vortex matter is associated with a special interaction of point vortices with curvature.

description: This dissertation analyzes the function of animal speakers in political poetry by William Langland, Geoffrey Chaucer, and John Gower, and it claims that late fourteenth-century poets describe the marginalized voices of emerging politicians by using animal expressions and noises. These writers invent a playful yet earnest poetics of acknowledgment in comparing politicians’ calls to animal cries. In unveiling novel interpretations of Langland’s mouse, Chaucer’s goose, and Gower’s jay, I argue that the speeches of animals contribute to significant argumentative strains within several late fourteenth-century poems, which remain obscure if the reader ignores the signal contribution of the animal. Finally, I study the use of animal speech in the Lancastrian poem, Richard the Redeless, to understand the ways in which the anti-Ricardian regime appropriated this malleable animal imagery to pursue its own political agenda.

description: Thermodynamic uncertainty relations quantify how the signal-to-noise ratio of a given observable is constrained by dissipation. Fluctuation relations generalize the second law of thermodynamics to stochastic processes. We show that any fluctuation relation directly implies a thermodynamic uncertainty relation, considerably increasing their range of applicability. In particular, we extend thermodynamic uncertainty relations to scenarios which include measurement and feedback. Since feedback generally breaks time-reversal invariance, the uncertainty relations involve quantities averaged over the forward and the backward experiment defined by the associated fluctuation relation. This implies that the signal-to-noise ratio of a given experiment can in principle become arbitrarily large as long as the corresponding backward experiment compensates, e.g. by being sufficiently noisy. We illustrate our results with the Szilard engine as well as work extraction by free energy reduction in a quantum dot.

Animistic Fictions: German Modernism, Film, and the Animation of Things

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: German literature

description: This dissertation investigates representations of animated objects in German modernist literature and film between roughly 1900 and 1930. Rainer Maria Rilke's 1902 remark that "all community has withdrawn from things and humans" corresponds to a more general reflection in German literary modernism on a new estrangement and distance between human subjects and the external object-world. Responding to this perceived crisis, modernist texts by Rilke, Franz Kafka, and others present an animated life of things as a highly ambivalent fiction, posing both a distorted and potentially recuperative relationship between humans and things. Alongside textual representations of animated things in Kafka's stories and Rilke's poetry and prose, the new medium of cinema also presented a visual life of things in early stop-motion animation films around 1910 as well as in the experimental films of the 1920s avant-garde. In contrast to nineteenth-century theories on the subjective, psychological origins of animistic experience, literature and film after 1900 approached the animation of things as a matter of external, artificial production. Focusing on the literary works of Rilke and Kafka, and the writings and films of German avant-garde artist Hans Richter, this dissertation argues for an understanding of modernist representations of animated things as "animistic fictions," aimed at producing the effects of animistic experience, while also foregrounding and self-reflecting upon their artificial status.
Density of states at disorder-induced phase transitions in a multichannel Majorana wire

description: An N-channel spinless p-wave superconducting wire is known to go through a series of N topological phase transitions upon increasing the disorder strength. Here, we show that at each of those transitions the density of states shows a Dyson singularity ν(ɛ)∝ɛ−1∣∣lnɛ∣∣−3, whereas ν(ɛ)∝ɛ|α|−1 has a power-law singularity for small energies ɛ away from the critical points. Using the concept of “superuniversality” [Gruzberg et al., Phys. Rev. B 71, 245124 (2005)], we are able to relate the exponent α to the wire's transport properties at zero energy and, hence, to the mean free path l and the superconducting coherence length ξ.

description: Substations play a crucial role in the electrical power infrastructure, and ensuring their reliable operation is of paramount importance. Recent substation accidents and failures have raised significant concerns regarding the safety and stability of the power supply. To address these challenges, the majority of domestic power system substations have adopted intelligent preventing maloperation protection systems. While these systems have proven effective in enhancing safety, certain operational issues persist, such as real-time monitoring of operation ticket implementation and tracking of location data for relevant power equipment and facilities. These limitations can lead to operational inefficiencies and reduced stability and reliability of the power system.

In response to these challenges, there is a growing need for a high-performance substation integrated smart preventing mal-operation system. This system would not only provide real-time monitoring and tracking capabilities but also significantly reduce operational pressure on substation operators by simplifying complex tasks within the power system. The research and design of such a system are vital to improving the overall safety and efficiency of substation operations. This paper aims to address the existing problems in substation operation and design a comprehensive integrated smart preventing mal-operation system that leverages advanced technology to enhance operational performance and safeguard the power supply

description: X-ray lasers based on transitions in highly charged \textit{Ni}-like ions generating in the "water window" wavelength range can be pumped by compact laboratory discharge sources. This makes them promising candidates for use as compact coherent X-ray sources in laboratory applications including biological imaging and investigations of carbon containing materials. In this paper, the results of numerical simulations of the plasma dynamics and kinetics in an X-ray laser based on transitions in \textit{Ni}-like xenon ions are reported. The laser active medium is created by an extended low-inductive high current Z-discharge capable of producing two successive electrical pulses. The non-equilibrium multi-charged ion plasma dynamics is studied numerically using a non-stationary 1D two-temperature radiation-MHD model, which describes plasma hydrodynamics, non-stationary ionization, transfer of the continuum and line radiation as well as processes in the pumping electrical circuit. The ionic energy level populations are calculated in the quasi-stationary approximation. The simulation results allowed determination of the electrical and energy pumping parameters necessary to obtain a weak signal gain for the working transitions of the order of $g^+\sim1$ $\mbox{cm}^{-1}$. It was demonstrated that plasma with the electronic temperature of more than 400 eV and the density of more than $10^{19}$ $\mbox{cm}^{-3}$ can be created by a low inductive two step discharge with peak current exceeding 200 kA.

description: Emerging reconfigurable data centers introduce unprecedented flexibility in how the physical layer can be programmed to adapt to current traffic demands. These reconfigurable topologies are commonly hybrid, consisting of static and reconfigurable links, enabled by e.g., an Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) connected to top-of-rack switches in Clos networks. Even though prior work has showcased the practical benefits of hybrid networks, several crucial performance aspects are not well understood. For example, many systems enforce artificial segregation of the hybrid network parts, leaving money on the table. In this article, we study the algorithmic problem of how to jointly optimize topology and routing in reconfigurable data centers, in order to optimize a most fundamental metric, maximum link load. The complexity of reconfiguration mechanisms in this space is unexplored at large, especially for the following cross-layer network-design problem: given a hybrid network and a traffic matrix, jointly design the physical layer and the flow routing in order to minimize the maximum link load. We chart the corresponding algorithmic landscape in our work, investigating both un-/splittable flows and (non-)segregated routing policies. A topological complexity classification of the problem reveals NP-hardness in general for network topologies that are trees of depth at least two, in contrast to the tractability on trees of depth one. We moreover prove that the problem is not submodular for all these routing policies, even in multi-layer trees. However, networks that can be abstracted by a single packet switch (e.g., nonblocking Fat-Tree topologies) can be optimized efficiently, and we present optimal polynomial-time algorithms accordingly. We complement our theoretical results with trace-driven simulation studies, where our algorithms can significantly improve the network load in comparison to the state-of-the-art.

description: Maintenance and manipulation of large DNA and RNA virus genomes had presented an obstacle for virological research. BAC vectors provided a solution to both problems as they can harbor large DNA sequences and can efficiently be modified using well-established mutagenesis techniques in Escherichia coli. Numerous DNA virus genomes of herpesvirus and pox virus were cloned into mini-F vectors. In addition, several reverse genetic systems for RNA viruses such as members of Coronaviridae and Flaviviridae could be established based on BAC constructs. Transfection into susceptible eukaryotic cells of virus DNA cloned as a BAC allows reconstitution of recombinant viruses. In this paper, we provide an overview on the strategies that can be used for the generation of virus BAC vectors and also on systems that are currently available for various virus species. Furthermore, we address common mutagenesis techniques that allow modification of BACs from single-nucleotide substitutions to deletion of viral genes or insertion of foreign sequences. Finally, we review the reconstitution of viruses from BAC vectors and the removal of the bacterial sequences from the virus genome during this process.

description: Human trafficking is a multi-faceted problem that continues to impact a broad range of people around the world, including the trafficked, their families and local communities (Ikeora, 2016). Nigeria was named one of the top eight countries of origin for human trafficking and is one of the leading African countries in human trafficking with substantial cross-border and internal trafficking (UNODC, 2006; US Department of State Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, 2016). There have been calls for human trafficking in Nigeria to be addressed as a social problem (Asiwaju, 2008) involving voluntary and non-voluntary behaviours (Long, 2004; Goździak & Bump, 2008; Zhang, 2009; Hoyle, 2011; Weitzer, 2014; Murray et al., 2015). Existing human trafficking interventions in Nigeria include law (migration controls and legislative measures), education (public awareness campaigns) and pilot economic empowerment programs (NAPTIP, 2014; Duru & Ogbonnaya, 2012) yet the extent of human trafficking continues to rise (Adepoju, 2005; Carling, 2005; Okojie, 2009; Duru & Ogbonnaya, 2012), prompting calls for the phenomenon to be considered through an alternate lens (Asiwaju, 2008; Goździak & Bump, 2008; Weitzer, 2014) such as marketing (Pennington et al., 2009; Murray et al., 2015).

description: Given the increasing importance of globally distributed software development (GDSD) over the last decade, it is surprising that empirical research in this area is still in the very early stage. The few existing suggest that traditional coordination and control mechanisms can be effective for these projects only with support from appropriate information technology. However, at present, little is known about the success of current Information and Communication Technology (ICT) support in the context of GDSD projects. Therefore, the main question this research addresses is what ICT-based support is appropriate for globally distributed software development projects? The objectives of this research are to elicit and develop the functional requirements for ICT support for GDSD projects, to analyze the gap between existing tools and these requirements, and to develop an Internet-based integrated architecture of tools that would fill these gaps.

description: Aus dem Vorwort: Zivilreligion II bildet den zweiten Teil der kleinen Trilogie. Diese Schrift ist den „Grundelementen“ der Zivilreligion gewidmet. „Versöhnung, Strafe und Gerechtigkeit“ bilden drei Grundpfeiler des Christentums. Diese drei Ideen aus sind der Sicht eines westlichen säkularen Rechtssystems zu beleuchten. Besonders zu beachten ist dabei die Rechtspraxis. Die Juristen bemühen sich alltäglich um der Schaffung von Rechtsfrieden, indem sie auf allen Ebenen Angebote zur Vermittlung und zur Aushandlung von Konsenslösungen zur Verfügung stellen. Diese Mediationen im weiten Sinne, zumeist in der Form von „privaten Vergleichsverträgen“ jeglicher Art, bestimmen das zivilisierte Recht. Das geschriebene Recht regelt nur das „Worst-Case Scenario“ und dient im Alltag als Drohkulisse. Private Sühneverträge kann schon das Mittelalter, bei denen dann die Alternative der privaten Vergeltung im Raume stand. Ferner ist nachzufragen, was den „Strafe“ in einem Verfassungsstaat meint und welche praktische Bedeutung dem Geständnis des Angeklagten zukommt. Außerdem ist zusammenzufassen, was unter „Gerechtigkeit“ generell zu verstehen ist, und was Gerechtigkeit in einem westlichen System der Menschenrechte zu bedeuten hat. Das Ideenpaar der Versöhnung und der Vermittlung dient dabei durchgehend als roter Faden. Der erste Band führt den Titel: Zivilreligion I, Grundlegung: Westlicher „demokratischer Präambel-Humanismus“ und universelle Trias „Natur, Seele und Vernunft“(2010). Diese Schrift beschäftigt sich auch mit der Frage nach universellen Grundelementen aller Religionen. Der dritte Teil ist überschrieben mit: Zivilreligion III. Überbau: Demokratischer Humanismus, sozialreale Dehumanisierung, Auflösung zum synthetischen Pragmatismus der „Mittelwelt“ (2010). Die drei kleinen Schriften zur Zivilreligion ergänzen das etwas umfangreichere Buch, das den Titel „Zivilisation – Staat und Mensch, Gewalt und Recht, Kultur und Natur“ trägt und im Jahre 2009 im Open Access der Freien Universität Berlin veröffentlicht wurde. Jenes hat sich mit der Struktur der Zivilisation, und zwar vor allem, aber nicht ausschließlich der westlichen Zivilisation beschäftigt. Die Schrift zur Zivilisation war also eher formal ausgelegt. Nunmehr sind die inhaltlichen höchsten Leitideen des Westens aufzugreifen und auszudeuten.

description: Recent studies of inflation with multiple scalar fields have highlighted the importance of non-canonical kinetic terms in novel types of inflationary solutions. This motivates a thorough analysis of non-Gaussianities in this context, which we revisit here by studying the primordial bispectrum in a general two-field model. Our main result is the complete cubic action for inflationary fluctuations written in comoving gauge, i.e. in terms of the curvature perturbation and the entropic mode. Although full expressions for the cubic action have already been derived in terms of fields fluctuations in the flat gauge, their applicability is mostly restricted to numerical evaluations. Our form of the action is instead amenable to several analytical approximations, as our calculation in terms of the directly observable quantity makes manifest the scaling of every operator in terms of the slow-roll parameters, what is essentially a generalization of Maldacena's single-field result to non-canonical two-field models. As an important application we derive the single-field effective field theory that is valid when the entropic mode is heavy and may be integrated out, underlining the observable effects that derive from a curved field space.

description: We use two high resolution N-body simulations, one assuming general relativity and the other the Hu-Sawicki form of $f\left(R\right)$ gravity with $\vert \bar{f}_{R} \vert = 10^{-6}$, to investigate the concentration--formation time relation of dark matter haloes. We stack haloes in logarithmically spaced mass bins to fit median density profiles and extract median formation times. At fixed mass, haloes in modified gravity are more concentrated than those in GR, especially at low masses and at low redshift, and do not follow the concentration--formation time relation seen in GR. We assess the sensitivity of the relation to how concentration and formation time are defined, as well as to the segregation of the halo population by the amount of gravitational screening. We find a clear difference between halo concentrations and assembly histories displayed in modified gravity and those in GR. Existing models for the mass--concentration--redshift relation that have gained success in cold and warm dark matter models require revision in $f\left(R\right)$ gravity.

The values were determined by fitting the results of Figs. 5b and 6 using PRISM software. The equation is Y = Bmax × X/(Kd + X), where Y is the OD450 at each concentration, X is the concentration of antigen and receptors, and Bmax is the OD450 at saturation. (PDF 118 kb)
Search for Direct Stress Correlation Signatures of the Critical Earthquake Model

description: We propose a new test of the critical earthquake model based on the hypothesis that precursory earthquakes are ``actors'' that create fluctuations in the stress field which exhibit an increasing correlation length as the critical large event becomes imminent. Our approach constitutes an attempt to build a more physically-based cumulative function in the spirit of but improving on the cumulative Benioff strain used in previous works documenting the phenomenon of accelerated seismicity. Using a space and time dependent visco-elastic Green function in a two-layer model of the Earth lithosphere, we compute the spatio-temporal stress fluctuations induced by every earthquake precursor and estimate, through an appropriate wavelet transform, the contribution of each event to the correlation properties of the stress field around the location of the main shock at different scales. Our physically-based definition of the cumulative stress function adding up the contribution of stress loads by all earthquakes preceding a main shock seems to be unable to reproduce an acceleration of the cumulative stress nor an increase of the stress correlation length similar to those observed previously for the cumulative Benioff strain. Either earthquakes are ``witnesses'' of large scale tectonic organization and/or the triggering Green function requires much more than just visco-elastic stress transfers.

description: We study phantom maps and homology theories in a stable homotopy category S via a certain Abelian category A. We express the group P(X,Y) of phantom maps X -> Y as an Ext group in A, and give conditions on X or Y which guarantee that it vanishes. We also determine P(X,HB). We show that any composite of two phantom maps is zero, and use this to reduce Margolis's axiomatisation conjecture to an extension problem. We show that a certain functor S -> A is the universal example of a homology theory with values in an AB 5 category and compare this with some results of Freyd.

description: Layered magnets have recently received tremendous attention, however, spin-exchange coupling mechanism across their interlayer regions is yet to be revealed. Here, we report a Bethe-Slater-curve (BSC) like behavior in nine transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers (MX2, M=V, Cr, Mn; X=S, Se, Te) and established interlayer spin-exchange coupling mechanisms at their van der Waals gaps using first-principle calculations. The BSC-like behavior offers a distance-dependent interlayer anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition. This phenomenon is explained with the spin-exchange coupling mechanisms established using bilayer CrSe2 as a prototype in this work. The Se pz wavefunctions from two adjacent interfacial Se sublayers overlap at the interlayer region. The spin alignment of the region determines interlayer magnetic coupling. At a shorter interlayer distance, Pauli repulsion at the overlapped region dominates and thus favors anti-parallel oriented spins leading to interlayer AFM. For a longer distance, kinetic energy gain of polarized electrons across the bilayer balances the Pauli repulsion and the bilayer thus prefers an interlayer FM state. In light of this, the AFM-FM transition is a result of competition between Pauli and Coulomb repulsion and kinetic energy gain. All these results open a new route to tune interlayer magnetism and the revealed spin-exchange coupling mechanisms are paramount additions to those previously established ones.
