description: We introduce the notion of infinitary interpretation of structures. In general, an interpretation between structures induces a continuous homomorphism between their automorphism groups, and furthermore, it induces a functor between the categories of copies of each structure. We show that for the case of infinitary interpretation the reversals are also true: Every Baire-measurable homomorphism between the automorphism groups of two countable structures is induced by an infinitary interpretation, and every Baire-measurable functor between the set of copies of two countable structures is induced by an infinitary interpretation. Furthermore, we show the complexities are maintained in the sense that if the functor is $\mathbfΔ^0_α$, then the interpretation that induces it is $Δ^{\mathtt{in}}_α$ up to $\mathbfΔ^0_α$ equivalence.

description: Knowledge management in higher education institutions (HEIs) can be analysed from intellectual capital (IC), which is made up of a series of intangible resources, becoming a valuable element. The purpose of this research is to analyse the creation of core competences based on the interaction between intangible IC resources. A multivariate statistical analysis through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used as a methodological design. The results show that it is possible to articulate IC intangible resources in core activities that become core competences and strengthen competitive advantages in HEIs. The empirical results show the need to recognise the characteristics and maturity level of IC in each HEI. Regarding the originality and value of the research, no previous studies analysing the relationship between IC, core competences, and competitive advantages in HEIs were identified. It was possible to establish valuable intangible resources among which teaching-learning methods, teacher quality and interdepartmental cooperation alliances stand out.
Photography, Representation of Trauma and Spectatorship in Naomi Iizuka’s At the Vanishing Point
Creators: name: Katopodi, Sapfo
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2021
Subjects: At the Vanishing Point; photography; trauma; monologue; myth of Orpheus and Eurydice; spectatorship

description: Interest in this article revolves around Naomi Iizuka’s At the Vanishing Point (2004) as a play that inventively reclaims the device of the monologue and invests in the dynamics of polyvocality in an unprecedented mode. Attention is specifically devoted to the ways in which the play attains these goals by approaching photography both as a staging technique and a central theme, in its unorthodox portrayal of the neighborhood of Butchertown in Louisville, Kentucky. My aim with this paper is two-fold. First, resorting to the seminal interventions of Cathy Caruth and Dominick LaCapra in the field of trauma studies, I explore the connection between photography and the traumatic experience and interrogate Iizuka’s investment in the visual element as an original way for trauma to be read. Second, by focusing on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice that is directly referenced in the play, I showcase that the overall effect of this work is analogous to the one that the myth achieves by allowing special emphasis to be drawn, among all other issues, to the very act of looking. Thus, the introduction of technology on the level of theater practice as well as that of themes and the employment of the myth, become tools in the hands of the playwright, who encourages not only her characters but also the audience to truly look, to observe the spectacle in front of them, and thus to reassess the ways in which they relate to the act of remembering and reconsider their views on history.

“The ones you sent”: American veterans and legacies of the Vietnam War
Creators: name: Cossentino, Thomas A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation analyzes prominent political mobilizations of Vietnam War veterans between the 1960s and the post-9/11 U.S. military interventions to reveal how their organizing efforts have been fundamentally informed by the social and institutional relationship between the Vietnam-era military and the nation that sent it to war. The existing literature on the Vietnam War’s legacies often underscores the historical influence of political elites and the explanatory value of popular culture to the extent that it elides less prominent historical actors. By contrast, this dissertation provides a more contested and contingent narrative of the Vietnam War’s repercussions by demonstrating how veterans mobilized the different lessons they derived from their experiences to engage their society. Rather than relying primarily on analysis of the speeches of political officials, or the films and music of commercial artists, this social historical study is grounded in sources produced by veterans—their own oral history interviews, correspondence, organizational papers, public statements, and literary production—to expose their attempts to communicate the consequences of their war experiences to their fellow Americans. It reveals connections between ideologically disparate political projects, and traces the ways that those efforts have influenced changes in American ideas about military service since the Vietnam War.Exploring veterans’ attempts to build communities and engage the larger society, this study argues that while political ideology often divided veterans, the social context of their military service generated common concerns. Most significantly, military manpower policies that buffered the war’s impositions on middle-class domestic life contributed to a perception among veterans that Americans at home were disengaged from the burdens of the war they fought. While the troubling implications of U.S. intervention in Vietnam turned popular opinion against the war by the late 1960s, Americans responded with quiet, conflicted apprehension more than active opposition. Veterans often interpreted the consequent silence as indifference, and this observation compelled them to come to terms with their war experiences in a position of social and moral distance from their society.This social estrangement contradicted prevalent assumptions that war was a matter of exigency that entailed shared sacrifice. Vietnam War veterans’ ideological diversity reflected their need to give individualized meaning to their experiences, given the limits of their society’s collective assimilation of the war’s consequences. Yet the ideas and activism that drove their mobilizations in the decades since the 1960s reflected in different ways a common yearning for social and moral reciprocity that was rooted in the inequities of the Vietnam War mobilization, and which remains pertinent to the contemporary relationship between the armed forces and the society it serves.

description: The optical theorem relates the total scattering cross-section of a given structure with its forward scattering, but does not impose any restrictions on other directions. Strong backward-forward asymmetry in scattering could be achieved by exploring retarded coupling between particles, exhibiting both electric and magnetic resonances. Here, a hybrid magneto-electric particle (HMEP), consisting of a split ring resonator acting as a magnetic dipole and a wire antenna acting as an electric dipole, is shown to possess asymmetric scattering properties. When illuminated from opposite directions with the same polarization of the electric field, the structure has exactly the same forward scattering, while the backward scattering is drastically different. The scattering cross section is shown to be as low as zero at a narrow frequency range when illuminated from one side, while being maximal at the same frequency range when illuminated from the other side. Theoretical predictions of the phenomena are supported with both numerical and experimental conformations, obtained at the GHz frequency range, and all are in a good agreement with each other. HMEP meta-particles could be used as building blocks for various metamaterials assembling solar cells, invisibility cloaks, holographic masks and more.

description: We will present a standards-based generalized architecture for large-scale repositories for research and preservation illustrated with real world examples drawn from a number of languages and cultural archive projects. This work is taking place in the context of the Australian Humanities and Social Sciences Research Data Commons, particularly the Language Data component thereof and the long-established PARADISEC cultural archive. The standards used include the Oxford Common File Layout for storage, Research Object CRATE (RO-Crate) for consistent linked-data description of FAIR digital objects, and a language data metadata profile to ensure long-term interoperability between systems and re-usability over time. We also discuss data licensing and authorization for access to non-open resources. We suggest that the approach shown here may be used in other disciplines or for other kinds of digital library, repository or archival systems.
Machine learning based data analytics of pavement performance prediction for airport pavement management system
Creators: name: Clemmensen, April Helena
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: A critical component in airfield pavement management systems (PMS) is pavement condition, both its current state and future condition. Decision-makers need this information well in advance of actual maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) project execution, particularly in airfield environments, in which even short-term closures have significant impacts on operations and are cost-prohibitive. Airfields have an additional time-sensitive need to eliminate Foreign Object Damage (FOD) stemming from either deteriorating pavement or construction on the airfield pavements. Pavement deterioration is dependent on many factors, making accurately predicting pavement performance a complex endeavor.Pavement condition prediction in terms of the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is improved in this dissertation using known paths of deterioration from pavements in other networks using the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) PAVEAIR database, a nationally available airfield PMS. Clustering is leveraged to improve the similarity of sections used in the models. Three different types of models are developed. The first method uses the Markov Chain (MC), which is a probabilistic model. Results from this model show that prediction accuracy is possible if structural, loading, or climate data is unavailable. The MC model can be improved via clustering, and initial pavement degradation is a reliable source for both clustering sections as well as future condition prediction with a minimal amount of initial input data. A smaller time interval used in the Markov Chain is more effective. The next two models developed are the Similarity-based Remaining Useful Life (sbRUL) model, and the Long-short Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. Results show that these models’ prediction of the PCI can be improved using unsupervised machine learning, reducing error by half.Furthermore, the features of machine learning models of Support Vector Machine for Regression (SVR), Random Forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting were analyzed and improved for airfield pavement condition prediction across multiple airfields using the FAA Extended Airport Pavement Life (EAPL) database. The impact of features on overlay or non-overlay pavement was assessed, and the most useful variables for prediction were determined. Evaluating the effect input parameters have on the models can inform the types of data collected, tracked, and used in prediction models for increased accuracy and less cost. Results show that the Random Forest model is the most accurate for non-overlay pavements. The SVR is the most accurate modeling method for overlays, and the condition and age of the pavement prior to the overlay influences the future performance of the overlay. An example Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is used to show these models can be used in PMS applications for pavement condition prediction and the subsequent decision making and cost analysis for future M&R.
Nonhuman Others and (F)oulipian Bugs Bunnies: Feminist Objects, Bodies and Visuality in American Experimental Poetry

Subjects: poetry; performance; feminism; materialisms; visuality; spectatorship

description: With the advent of posthumanism and a renovated attention to studies of the body-as-object, feminist experimental poetry is becoming a locus for the reconsideration of the gaze and spectatorship. Already in 2007, Juliana Spahr and Stephanie Young’s performance piece, “Foulipo,” acknowledged the powers—and problems—of (female) body visuality and representation, specifically in a technological context of continuous exposure. Drawing from feminist object-orientation (Katherine Behar 2016) and new feminist materialisms (Stacy Alaimo 2008, Karen Barad 2007, Jane Bennett 2010, Rosi Braidotti 2018, 2013), this paper analyzes the continuity of non-human, technological-virtual objects—printers, answering machines, glasses, texts—and (female) bodies as represented in the experimental and performance poetry of Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Juliana Spahr and Stephanie Young, Kimiko Hahn and Mary Jo Bang. In my argument, acknowledging the interconnections with these objects and subverting hierarchies allows feminist writers to paradoxically escape patriarchal objectification and sexualization. Through its formal strategies, the text itself becomes both an object of contemplation and a generative subject, ultimately undermining the prevailing dichotomy between subject and object.

The impact of changes in organizational gender diversity on employee- and organizational outcomes
Creators: name: Son, Eugene
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: This study examines whether and how a change in organizational gender diversity affects employees’ collective attitudes and organizational performance based on three theoretical perspectives: 1) Gestalt characteristics, 2) Social categorization perspectives, and 3) Sense-making perspectives. Previous literature has maintained a static approach to investigating the impact of organizational gender diversity and generated inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between diversity levels and organizational outcomes. Organizations with the same level of gender diversity, however, may have different histories of the diversity level (e.g., increase, decrease, or keep the level) and encounter different interpersonal dynamics according to the history. Using nationally representative Korean firm-level panel data, this study shows that a change in organizational gender diversity has a unique impact on employees’ collective job satisfaction, collective turnover, and organizations’ labor productivity. This study suggests that a change should be considered to clearly understand the direct relationship between organizational gender diversity and subsequent outcomes.

description: Following earlier works on the KMY model of black-hole formation and evaporation, we construct the metric for a matter sphere in gravitational collapse, with the back-reaction of pre-Hawking radiation taken into consideration. The mass distribution and collapsing velocity of the matter sphere are allowed to have an arbitrary radial dependence. We find that a generic gravitational collapse asymptote to a universal configuration which resembles a black hole but without horizon. This approach clarifies several misunderstandings about black-hole formation and evaporation, and provides a new model for black-hole-like objects in the universe.

description: Social media has been integrated into traditional e-commerce, creating an innovative technology-based approach to changing business practice and service, yet few researchers have attempted to provide an understanding of how this approach is changing consumer decision-making and purchase behaviours. Combining the expectation-confirmation theory and the expectation-confirmation model and information systems continuance, we propose a model for social commerce, illustrating how social media is utilised in online shopping as a three-fold process (pre-purchase, purchase, and post-purchase stages) from a consumer perspective. The model consists of three phases: social commerce motivation, social commerce adoption, and e-commerce effectiveness. Using two rounds of surveys, we find that (1) autonomous motivation and controlled motivation have positive effects on social commerce information seeking and sharing, and (2) social commerce information seeking formulates consumers’ pre-purchase decisions, thus affecting their actual purchase outcomes, repurchase intentions, and social commerce information-sharing intentions in the post-purchase stage. In addition, our study indicates that consumers may play dual roles in social commerce: as information seekers in the pre-purchase stage and as information providers in the post-purchase stage. Our findings have important implications for literature and practice.

description: The photometric sky quality of Mt. Shatdzhatmaz, the site of Sternberg Astronomical Institute Caucasian Observatory 2.5 m telescope, is characterized here by the statistics of the night-time sky brightness and extinction. The data were obtained as a by-product of atmospheric optical turbulence measurements with the MASS (Multi-Aperture Scintillation Sensor) device conducted in 2007--2013. The factors biasing night-sky brightness measurements are considered and a technique to reduce their impact on the statistics is proposed. The single-band photometric estimations provided by MASS are easy to transform to the standard photometric bands. The median moonless night-sky brightness is 22.1, 21.1, 20.3, and 19.0 mag per square arcsec for the $B$, $V$, $R$, and $I$ spectral bands, respectively. The median extinction coefficients for the same photometric bands are 0.28, 0.17, 0.13, and 0.09 mag. The best atmospheric transparency is observed in winter.

description: This paper presents an approach towards creating a repository for nuclear data collections and services that implements the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles. The proposed platform provides an integrated environment for data collections, resources, and services to support the worldwide nuclear science and technology community. The repository is designed to organize different type of resources in a structured way and to provide a unified access point to all the heterogeneous collections that the Nuclear Data Section (NDS) hosts. The repository is implemented using a hybrid approach, where the core part of the system is based on the Invenio RDM framework. This part integrates with existing NDS and IAEA services, as well as with several newly built micro-services that implement specialized nuclear data retrieval and visualization products. In addition, the platform provides a secure and reliable environment to store and preserve nuclear resources. The presentation will provide a detailed description of the various aspects of the platform, including the architecture, data and service integration, security, and scalability.
Swimming in troubled waters: ambient levels of common pollutants have little effect on the regional distribution and swimming behavior of two New Jersey anurans

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Environmental conservation efforts to protect amphibian habitat would be greatly aided with information about amphibian habitat selection and requirements as well as information about tolerance to common pollutants. In the past several decades the effects of pollutants on amphibian distribution and physiology have increased. However, uncertainty about effects still exists given the number of different amphibian species, and the large amount of variation shown in the results of the studies that have been conducted. Lithobates kauffeldi, a species that was just recently discovered, was listed as a species of concern in New York and is also known for its occurrence in highly urbanized and agricultural habitats, so I wanted to determine if the distribution of Lithobates kauffeldi could be predicted by water quality. Using field observations of New Jersey and New York wetlands and laboratory measurements of five water quality parameters (salinity, nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing compounds, and pH) and other environmental characteristics, I determined that the only water quality variable that was different between sites was phosphate and the only vegetative difference between sites was the presence of Queen Anne’s Lace. While conducting the first study, I observed frogs in habitats that I would have thought were too salty for them to survive and reproduce, so I wanted to explore how behavior might be related to salt exposure. Using Lithobates palustris tadpoles in a series of outdoor experiments, I found that only the proportion of the experimental arena explored, and the total distance swam in the behavior experiment differed between treatments. Both studies attempted to shed a deeper understanding on the influence of water quality on New Jersey and New York amphibians, particularly two understudied species.

description: Over the last 15 years solid-state NMR (ssNMR) has undergone a huge leap forward, particularly as a spectroscopic technique for biomolecules. MAS NMR has become more widespread because of advances in probe technology and development of proton-detected multidimensional experiment. The development of probes which can spin rotors faster and faster allowed the development of experiments which have resolution and acquisition times approaching solution state experiments. ssNMR was used to evaluate three aspects of protein structure. Hydrogen bonding patterns of CDN labeled GB1 were investigated using hNCOH and hNCAH spectra at 105 kHz MAS. PIP3 binding by the kindlin-2 PH domain was investigated with P-N rotationalecho double resonance (REDOR) experiments.

description: Functional renormalization group (FRG) methods applied to calculations of isospin-symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter as well as neutron matter are reviewed. The approach is based on a chiral Lagrangian expressed in terms of nucleon and meson degrees of freedom as appropriate for the hadronic phase of QCD with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry. Fluctuations beyond mean-field approximation are treated solving Wetterich's FRG flow equations. Nuclear thermodynamics and the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition are investigated in detail, both in symmetric matter and as a function of the proton fraction in asymmetric matter. The equations of state at zero temperature of symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter are found to be in good agreement with advanced ab-initio many-body computations. Contacts with perturbative many-body approaches (in-medium chiral perturbation theory) are discussed. As an interesting test case, the density dependence of the pion mass in the medium is investigated. The question of chiral symmetry restoration in nuclear and neutron matter is addressed. A stabilization of the phase with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry is found to persist up to high baryon densities once fluctuations beyond mean-field are included. Neutron star matter including beta equilibrium is discussed under the aspect of the constraints imposed by the existence of two-solar-mass neutron stars.

description: While many factors drive the sharing economy’s growth, trust and motivations play critical roles. However, which factors are more important to young consumers? This research compares a trust model with a motivation model for predicting intention to use Airbnb, Uber, and TaskRabbit, comparing within each platform, not between them. The study uses a survey sample of Midwest United States business undergraduates (nearly all Generation Z). Each sample varies in experience levels: relatively high experience Uber respondents, very low experience TaskRabbit respondents, and medium experience for Airbnb. Results show that within Uber, the trust model predicts significantly better than the motivation model. Within Airbnb and TaskRabbit, the motivation model predicts only slightly better. By combining the trust and motivation variables into one model by platform, we find differing degrees of complementarity between the trust and motivation variables, with those for Airbnb being the most complementary in terms of predictive power and those for Uber being the least complementary. Within Airbnb and TaskRabbit, combining the trust and motivation models shows the two most significant variables were enjoyment and trusting intention. Within Uber, trusting intention and trusting beliefs in the provider were the most significant. We provide implications and directions for future research.

description: We present a rigorous study of the short maturity asymptotics for Asian options with continuous-time averaging, under the assumption that the underlying asset follows a local volatility model. The asymptotics for out-of-the-money, in-the-money, and at-the-money cases are derived, considering both fixed strike and floating strike Asian options. The asymptotics for the out-of-the-money case involves a non-trivial variational problem which is solved completely. We present an analytical approximation for Asian options prices, and demonstrate good numerical agreement of the asymptotic results with the results of Monte Carlo simulations and benchmark test cases in the Black-Scholes model for option parameters relevant in practical applications.

Associated with the intra-excitonic 1s-2p transition, the gradual build-up of an absorption peak around 3.1 meV (0.75 THz) signifies the delayed exciton formation after optical pump which is accelerated for higher excitation densities. Analyzing the spectral shape of this THz absorption resonance, two distinct resonances are found which are attributed to the mass-anisotropy of L valley electrons via a microscopic theory.

description: In recent years, the phenomenon of the semantic web and linked open data has become a hot topic in digital philology. Although TEI XML (the "lingua franca" of digital philology) is itself a semantic document description language, it does not in itself cross the boundary between a network of documents and a network of data. Previous attempts to link TEI XML to the semantic web have not been successful, and have not contributed to the use of philological data outside the narrow framework of its creation. We have therefore opted for a hybrid solution that can implement both a high level of external connectivity, and the specificity required by the discipline. The architecture is based on the interconnection of services and software such as Wikdata, GitHub and Zenodo, as well as Wikibase and Invenio RDM. It is illustrated through the concrete publishing practice of the DigiPhil project.

description: We use semiconductor quantum dots, "artificial atoms," to implement a scheme for deterministic generation of long strings of entangled photons in a cluster state, an important resource for quantum information processing. We demonstrate a prototype device which produces strings of a few hundred photons in which the entanglement persists over 5 sequential photons. The implementation follows a proposal by Lindner and Rudolph (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2009) which suggested periodic timed excitation of a precessing electron spin as a mechanism for entangling the electron spin with the polarization of the sequentially emitted photons. In our realization, the entangling qubit is a quantum dot confined dark exciton. By performing full quantum process tomography, we obtain the process map which fully characterizes the evolution of the system, containing the dark exciton and n photons after n applications of the periodic excitations. Our implementation may greatly reduce the resources needed for quantum information processing.

Essays on economics of education and immigration
Creators: name: Luo, Suwei

description: In Chapter 1, I study whether the increase in immigrants with at least a four-year college education affects the tendency of US high school students to take science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Advanced Placement (AP) exams. I use data from both IPUMS American Community Survey 1-year samples (for 2005-2014) and the College Board AP (for 2005-2014) to construct state level panels. Using the 1980 distribution across states of immigrants from different countries, I construct an instrumental variable to account for the potential endogeneity of immigration location. I find a positive effect of highly educated immigrants on STEM AP exams per youth. In Chapter 2, I study whether family background affects students’ college major choice using the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009. I find parents’ education level plays a more important role than family income in determining students’ college major choice. Students with more educated parents are more likely to choose STEM majors, mainly due to higher GPAs in high school, higher 9th grade mathematics proficiency, and parents more likely to be employed in STEM fields. Multinomial logistic regression suggests students with more educated parents are more likely to major in engineering, natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, and business in college. In Chapter 3, I study whether family background affects students’ choice of Associate’s degree major using the 2009 High School Longitudinal Study. Students with more educated parents are slightly more likely to consider STEM majors upon enrolling in postsecondary education, an effect driven by higher 9th grade mathematics proficiency. However, I do not find any impact of family background on whether students actually declare a STEM major. I examine the determinants of students’ declaring a different major from the one originally considered. Men are more likely than women to consider a STEM major yet declare a non-STEM major, in contrast to the results of Chapter 2, where I found men are more likely than women to consider a non-STEM major yet declare a non-STEM major for the students pursuing a four-year Bachelor’s degree. Students with foreign-born parents are more likely to consider non-STEM majors yet declare a STEM major, which is consistent with the findings from Chapter 2.
A fully automated platform for photoinitiated RAFT polymerizations

description: Photoinduced Electron/energy Transfer-Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization allows for high-throughput synthesis of numerous polymer architectures on the benchtop in parallel. Recent developments have further increased throughput by incorporating the use of liquid handling robotics to automate PET-RAFT reagent handling and dispensing into 96-well plates. This allows for the synthesis of up to 96 different polymer compositions in parallel which enables the combinatorial synthesis of large polymer libraries. Although the use of liquid handling robotics can enable automated polymer reagent dispenses in 96-well plates, the photoinitiation/polymerization step still requires advancement to provide a fully automated platform that closes the gap between reagent dispensing and polymerization screening. Here, we describe the development of a robotic platform using Python, instrumentation, a custom-designed “lightbox”, and an online fluorescence monitoring to fully automate the entire PET-RAFT process in synthesizing multiple different polymer architectures in parallel. On our platform, reagents are automatically dispensed in a 96 well plate, individual wells are automatically exposed to light through our custom-built lightbox until the polymerizations are complete, and reactions are screened using fluorescence monitoring on a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, with the transfers between instruments occurring via a robotic arm. We found that this platform could enable robust parallel polymer synthesis with spatial and temporal control of both acrylate/acrylamide homopolymers, random heteropolymers, and block copolymers with high conversions and low polydispersity. With these results, this platform is a tool that allows for efficient combinatorial chemistry. In addition, with the inclusion of machine learning protocols to help navigate the polymer space towards specific properties of interest, this robotic platform can ultimately become a self-driving lab that can dispense, synthesize, and screen polymer libraries.

Social Networks Analysis in Discovering the Narrative Structure of Literary Fiction

description: In our paper we would like to make a cross-disciplinary leap and use the tools of network theory to understand and explore narrative structure in literary fiction, an approach that is still underestimated. However, the systems in fiction are sensitive to readers subjectivity and attention must to be paid to different methods of extracting networks. The project aims at investigating into different ways social interactions are read in texts by comparing networks produced by automated algorithms-natural language processing with those created by surveying more subjective human responses. Conversation networks from fiction have been already extracted by scientists, but the more general framework surrounding these interactions was missing. We propose several NLP methods for detecting interactions and test them against a range of human perceptions. In doing so, we have pointed to some limitations of using network analysis to test literary theory, e.g. interaction, which corresponds to the plot, does not form climax.

description: Shearlets are a relatively new directional multi-scale framework for signal analysis, which have been shown effective to enhance signal discontinuities such as edges and corners at multiple scales. In this work we address the problem of detecting and describing blob-like features in the shearlets framework. We derive a measure which is very effective for blob detection and closely related to the Laplacian of Gaussian. We demonstrate the measure satisfies the perfect scale invariance property in the continuous case. In the discrete setting, we derive algorithms for blob detection and keypoint description. Finally, we provide qualitative justifications of our findings as well as a quantitative evaluation on benchmark data. We also report an experimental evidence that our method is very suitable to deal with compressed and noisy images, thanks to the sparsity property of shearlets.
