Decoding The Trading Floor: Charting a Postcolonial Hong Kong Identity through the TV Screen
Creators: name: Yee, Winnie L M

Year: 2019
Subjects: Hong Kong; Financial Crime Thriller; Postcolonial Identity; Local; Transnationl

description: This article adds to the analysis of Hong Kong TV culture by investigating recent trends in television production. It demonstrates that the small screen has become a means of grappling with postcolonial Hong Kong identity, and that this is most noticeable in its reinvention of the genre of the financial crime thriller. This analysis must be considered against the background of two new developments in television: the growth of transnational collaborations intended to appeal to the Asian market and the advent of TV series that replicate the experimentation of American shows and dispense with the traditional episodic narrative.

description: We introduce and explore the relation between knot invariants and quiver representation theory, which follows from the identification of quiver quantum mechanics in D-brane systems representing knots. We identify various structural properties of quivers associated to knots, and identify such quivers explicitly in many examples, including some infinite families of knots, all knots up to 6 crossings, and some knots with thick homology. Moreover, based on these properties, we derive previously unknown expressions for colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials and superpolynomials for various knots. For all knots, for which we identify the corresponding quivers, the LMOV conjecture for all symmetric representations (i.e. integrality of relevant BPS numbers) is automatically proved.

Music Keeps Us Together. Pop Songs in Korean Television Dramas

Subjects: K-Drama; soundtrack; hallyu; pop song; leitmotif

description: In the early 1990s the “trendy drama” became part of Korean TV programming. Mainly focused on a younger audience, it not only showed the modern urban life style of its protagonists searching for love, but also integrated newly composed pop music into the series, first as theme songs and later by playing musical pieces at crucial moments in the developing relationships of the young couples. This article analyzes the crucial part these songs play both in marketing a Korean series (or K-Drama), as well as in the development of its narrative, exemplified by the musical concepts of three recent series, Dokkaebi: The Lonely And Great God (2016-2017), While You Were Sleeping (2017) and Because This Is My First Life (2017). Similar to the concept of a leitmotif, once established as a song for a character, a couple or a mood, pop songs are used throughout the run of a series. They, therefore, add a new layer of meaning to a scene, not only through lyrics and music, but especially by referring to past developments and incidents, thus holding the whole series together and giving it an individual character.

description: We report on an optical setup generating more than one bit of randomness from one entangled bit (i.e. a maximally entangled state of two-qubits). The amount of randomness is certified through the observation of Bell non-local correlations. To attain this result we implemented a high-purity entanglement source and a non-projective three-outcome measurement. Our implementation achieves a gain of 27$\%$ of randomness as compared with the standard methods using projective measurements. Additionally we estimate the amount of randomness certified in a one-sided device independent scenario, through the observation of EPR steering. Our results prove that non-projective quantum measurements allows extending the limits for nonlocality-based certified randomness generation using current technology.

The Viewing Mind and Live-Action Japanese Television Series: A Cognitive Perspective on Gender Constructions in Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Spirit)
Creators: name: Kilpatrick, Helen Claire
Publisher: name: Series - International Journal of TV Serial Narratives
Year: 2019
Subjects: Japanese television; gender; narrative strategies; cognitive processing; Moribito

description: The recent (2016–2018) live-action Japanese television series, Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Spirit), was produced by NHK in the vein of the taiga (big river) historical drama, but challenges this and other Japanese generic conventions through its production as a fantasy series, and through its female heroine rather than the usual male samurai hero. This paper takes a cognitive narratological perspective in the exploration of how story-telling devices conjure and challenge some of the most dominant patriarchal scripts found across much of Asia (and elsewhere). It examines how narrative techniques prompt viewer mental processing with regard to cultural schemas and scripts of, for instance, male/female roles in family relationships, women’s participation in the employment sector, and marriage and childbearing. The examination thereby delves into important issues in the context of recent social discourse on gender roles in Japan. A close examination of the filmic strategies and devices which encourage audience engagement with the main female protagonist, Balsa, and her relationships casts light on the state of some of Japan’s changing attitudes on gender, workforce and family roles.

Continuum Variability of Active Galactic Nuclei in the Optical-UV Range

description: The variability of the continuum spectral energy distribution has been analyzed for a complete magnitude-limited sample of quasars in Selected Area 57, observed at two epochs in the photographic $U$, $B_J$, $F$ and $N$ bands with the Mayall 4m telescope at Kitt Peak. Changes $δα$ of the spectral slope $α$ appear correlated with brightness variations $δlog f_ν$ indicating an average hardening of the spectrum in the bright phases. This confirms that the correlation of variability with redshift, found in a single observing band, is due to intrinsic spectral changes. The average observed $δα- δlog f_ν$ relation is consistent with the spectral change due to temperature variation of a black body of about $2.5 \cdot 10^4 K$.

description: Luminous Galactic OH/IR stars have been identified as massive (>4-5 M_s) AGB stars experiencing HBB and Li production. Their Rb abundances and [Rb/Zr] ratios derived from hydrostatic model atmospheres, are significantly higher than predictions from AGB nucleosynthesis models, posing a problem to our understanding of AGB evolution and nucleosynthesis. We report new Rb and Zr abundances in the full sample of massive Galactic AGB stars, previously studied with hydrostatic models, by using more realistic extended model atmospheres. We use a modified version of the spectral synthesis code Turbospectrum and consider the presence of a circumstellar envelope and radial wind. The Rb and Zr abundances are determined from the 7800 A Rb I resonant line and the 6474 A ZrO bandhead, respectively, and we explore the sensitivity of the derived abundances to variations of the stellar (Teff) and wind (M_loss, beta and vexp) parameters in the extended models. The Rb and Zr abundances derived from the best spectral fits are compared with the most recent AGB nucleosynthesis theoretical models. The new Rb abundances are much lower (even 1-2 dex) than those derived with the hydrostatic models, while the Zr abundances are similar. The Rb I line profile and Rb abundance are very sensitive to the M_loss rate but much less sensitive to variations of the wind velocity-law and the vexp(OH). We confirm the earlier preliminary results based on a smaller sample of massive O-rich AGB stars, that the use of extended atmosphere models can solve the discrepancy between the AGB nucleosynthesis theoretical models and the observations of Galactic massive AGB stars. The Rb abundances, however, are still strongly dependent of the M_loss, which is unknown in these AGB stars. Accurate M_loss rates in these massive Galactic AGB stars are needed in order to break the models degeneracy and get reliable Rb abundances in these stars.

La chanson bâtarde de Stromae et Abd al Malik : Belgique, Afrique et francophonie
Creators: name: Hirschi, Stéphane
Publisher: name: ATeM Archiv für Textmusikforschung
Year: 2018

description: Since its beginnings, French chanson has been full of mixed musical influences. Two present-day French singers, Abd Al Malik and Stromae, preserve this tradition and renew it at the same time. While singing about ‘elsewhere’ used to be a pretext for exoticism with commercial intentions, these two singers symbolise a generation where human mixity has become a major reality, which can also be observed in their songs. When Abd Al Malik, for instance, uses the pattern and inspiration of Jacques Brel’s “Amsterdam” for his own song “Gibraltar”, he changes both meaning and dynamics of the original song. Amsterdam’s port is a tearing dead end ; Abd Al Malik’s port is a place of transfiguration where you can ‘sublimize’ yourself and transform travelling into a productive initiation.
On the same level, Stromae, metis and orphan himself, succeeds in sublimizing his pain in a dynamic danse with its success “Papaoutai” ; and he also succeeds in doing so in his song “Bâtard”, a true art poétique, where thanks to his own maestro’s abilities he presents hybridity as riches to be shared.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Earlier studies have demonstrated substantial diurnal variation in acoustic abundance of fish. Both the level and the uncertainty of abundance estimates from surveys carried out around the clock are affected. It has been hypothesized that diurnal variation in acoustic densities is caused by a diurnal variation in tilt angle. As the directivity of fish is higher at higher frequencies a diurnal variation in tilt angle will affect the acoustic recordings more for higher than for lower frequencies. This hypothesis is tested through an analysis of the frequency response of acoustic recordings of cod and haddock in the Barents Sea from 18, 38, 70 and 120 kHz Simrad EK 60 echo sounders. The results demonstrate, as expected, a systematic diurnal change where the reduction in acoustic densities during nighttime is more prominent for higher frequencies. The result is expected since gadoids are visual feeders being active with a more directed swimming pattern at daytime than during night when they have a more relaxed swimming with more variable tilt angle. Applications of the results for improving the quality of survey abundance estimates are discussed.

Classical trajectories compatible with quantum mechanics

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Consider any stationary Schroedinger wave equation (SWE) solution $psi (x)$ for a particle. The corresponding PDF on position QTR{em}{x} of the particle is QTR{em}{p}$_{X}(x)=|psi (x)|^{2}$. There is a classical trajectory QTR{em}{x(t)} for the particle that is consistent with this PDF. The trajectory is unique to within an additive constant corresponding to an initial condition QTR{em}{x(0).} However the value of QTR{em}{x(0)} cannot be known. As an example, a free particle in its ground state in a box of length QTR{em}{L} obeys a classical trajectory QTR{em}{x/L - (1/2}$pi)sin (2pi x/L)+t_{0}=t.$ The constant QTR{em}{t}$_{0}$ is an unknowable time displacement. Momentum values, however, cannot be determined by merely differentiating QTR{em}{d/dt} the trajectory QTR{em}{x(t)} and, instead, follow the usual quantification rules of Heisenberg's. This permits position and momentum to remain complementary variables. Our approach is fundamentally different from that of D. Bohm.

Toi, moi… et les autres ? Musique populaire et migration dans le film musical Toi, moi, les autres d’Audrey Estrougo (2011)

description: In my article, I analyse the relationship between famous French songs and migration in the French film musical Toi, moi, les autres (Audrey Estrougo 2011), which mixes the codes of the fairy tale romcom with a story about undocumented migrants in contemporary Paris. I underscore that the use of these songs – very few of the musical arrangements are sung by figures of sans-papiers – is pernicious. They serve to highlight and to cement the love story of the two protagonists much more than to develop a real political discourse. I argue that the filmmaker has exploited the memorial – and sentimental – dimension of the French songs for the benefit of the romantic story but has failed to offer a critical discourse on the situation of the undocumented migrants, which had been one of the intentions of the film.

description: We consider separating the problem of designing Hamiltonian quantum feedback control algorithms into a measurement (estimation) strategy and a feedback (control) strategy, and consider optimizing desirable properties of each under the minimal constraint that the available strength of both is limited. This motivates concepts of information extraction and disturbance which are distinct from those usually considered in quantum information theory. Using these concepts we identify an information trade-off in quantum feedback control.

description: How can the rich panorama of French songs which scholars tend to identify as ‘songs of migration’ be characterized? The chanson politique, the chanson engagée, and the chanson de la migration – all three of them make statements about society but the latter is specific in its themes: It focuses on the individual and/or the collective experience of forced displacement and migration, which have been the lot of thousands and thousands of people in the past three decades. In the first part of this article, the history of French immigration is outlined in order to contextualise the 60 songs chosen for analysis. After briefly highlighting the complexity and plurimediality of the artistic form of the chanson, the second part concentrates on the themes addressed and on the narrative perspective; it ends with Louis Calvet who stated as early as 1976 that a chanson can be political for three reasons: the author’s intentionality, the topics dealt with, and the way in which the contemporary society ‘lives’ the respective songs.

description: Datacenter-based Cloud Computing services provide a flexible, scalable and yet economical infrastructure to host online services such as multimedia streaming, email and bulk storage. Many such services perform geo-replication to provide necessary quality of service and reliability to users resulting in frequent large inter- datacenter transfers. In order to meet tenant service level agreements (SLAs), these transfers have to be completed prior to a deadline. In addition, WAN resources are quite scarce and costly, meaning they should be fully utilized. Several recently proposed schemes, such as B4, TEMPUS, and SWAN have focused on improving the utilization of inter-datacenter transfers through centralized scheduling, however, they fail to provide a mechanism to guarantee that admitted requests meet their deadlines. Also, in a recent study, authors propose Amoeba, a system that allows tenants to define deadlines and guarantees that the specified deadlines are met, however, to admit new traffic, the proposed system has to modify the allocation of already admitted transfers. In this paper, we propose Rapid Close to Deadline Scheduling (RCD), a close to deadline traffic allocation technique that is fast and efficient. Through simulations, we show that RCD is up to 15 times faster than Amoeba, provides high link utilization along with deadline guarantees, and is able to make quick decisions on whether a new request can be fully satisfied before its deadline.

description: The energy ejected from the galaxy micro-quasar GRS1915+105 in the form of jets is expected to lead to formation of an extended double lobe/hot-spot structure with the energy content comparable to an average supernova remnant. We used the Effelsberg 100m telescope at 10.45 GHz in attempt to identify such structures. For this distant galactic plane source any definite identification was not possible due to high confusion by numerous background sources, however, a few suspect structures were pointed out.

description: We apply a renormalized perturbative scheme on the Navier-Stokes equation for an incompressible isotropic turbulent velocity field. This allows us to obtain the renormalized expressions for second- and third-order cumulants of the velocity derivative directly from the corresponding Feynman diagrams. The resulting expressions are integrated numerically by excluding and including the dissipation range assuming Kolmogorov and Pao's phenomenological expressions for the energy spectrum. The ensuing values for skewness are found to be $S=-0.647$ (when the dissipation range is excluded) and $\mathcal{S}=-0.682$ (when the dissipation is included). These estimated values are compared with various experimental, numerical, and theoretical results.

A Refutation of Bell's Theorem

description: Bell's Theorem was developed on the basis of considerations involving a linear combination of spin correlation functions, each of which has a distinct pair of arguments. The simultaneous presence of these different pairs of arguments in the same equation can be understood in two radically different ways: either as `strongly objective,' that is, all correlation functions pertain to the same set of particle pairs, or as `weakly objective,' that is, each correlation function pertains to a different set of particle pairs. It is demonstrated that once this meaning is determined, no discrepancy appears between local realistic theories and quantum mechanics: the discrepancy in Bell's Theorem is due only to a meaningless comparison between a local realistic inequality written within the strongly objective interpretation (thus relevant to a single set of particle pairs) and a quantum mechanical prediction derived from a weakly objective interpretation (thus relevant to several different sets of particle pairs).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Sequential geostatistical simulation methods can be used to calculate empirical confidence intervals for biomass determined from acoustic surveys. Such simulation methods have several advantages: precision can be estimated in the presence of autocorrelation and non-random sampling and the combined variance of the acoustic and fish length-frequency measurements can be estimated empirically rather than analytically. In addition, an empirical probability density function (pdf) of the abundance estimate is generated, and can be used, for example, to determine the precision of indices that characterize spatial distribution, such as center of gravity. Examples from the Eastern Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska will be presented. The method can be extended to include other sources of uncertainty so that the total error is more closely approximated. A second method for evaluating total uncertainty, consisting of virtual sampling from a known fish distribution (created by simulation) is also being explored.

description: Networked Controlled Systems (NCSs) are more and more used in industrial applications. They are strongly connected to real-time constraints because important delays induced by the network can lead to an unstable process control. Usually, the network used in NCSs is shared with many others applications requiring different Quality of Service. The objective of this paper is to optimize the tuning of the network scheduling mechanisms in taking into account the level of Quality of Control. The goal is to maximize the bandwidth allocation for unconstrained frames in guarantying that the control constraints are respected. In this paper, we focus on switched Ethernet network implementing the Classification of Service (IEEE 802.1p) based on a Weighted Round Robin policy.

description: This paper presents a study of songs written by the Neapolitan dub band Almamegretta and by the Florentine rocker Piero Pelù of the band Litfiba. The songs here analysed address the Mediterranean Sea as a cultural space representing a fluid means of transport for melodies as well as people. To better convey this stance, the lyrics are written in Italian, Neapolitan, English, French, and Arabic, and the hybrid sound of the tunes is a mix of genres ranging from Western rock to African, Eastern, and Jamaican contaminations. Among the themes covered by the songwriters are the similar conditions of African and Southern Italian immigrants, the notorious crossings of the Mediterranean Sea by migrants reaching the Italian shores, and the musicians’ wish for a peaceful coexistence of peoples
and cultures.

The emission regions in X-ray binaries: dipping as a diagnostic
Creators: name: Church, M. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: X-ray dipping in the black hole binary Cygnus X-1, the Galactic jet source GRO J1655-40 and in low mass X-ray binaries is discussed. It is shown that spectral analysis strongly constrains emission models. Measurement of dip ingress/egress times allows the sizes of extended emission regions to be determined, notably for the Accretion Disk Corona which is responsible for Comptonization in X-ray binaries. In LMXB, the radius of the ADC is shown to be between ~ 10^9 and ~ 5x10^10 cm, an appreciable fraction of the accretion disk radius. This is inconsistent with Comptonization models requiring a localized Comptonizing region, for example, in the immediate neighbourhood of the neutron star. Results from a survey of LMXB using ASCA and BeppoSAX reveal an approximate equality between the height of the blackbody emission region on the neutron star and the height of the inner radiatively-supported disk, suggesting either that there is a direct causal link, such as a radial accretion flow between the inner disk edge and the star, or an indirect link, as in the case of accretion flow creep on the surface of the neutron star as suggested by Inogamov & Sunyaev. Finally, the survey shows that the blackbody cannot originate on the accretion disk as the required inner radii in many sources are substantially less than the neutron star radius.

Je vous suis infiniment obligé, Monsieur mon très cher ami de m'avoir communiqué les savantes réflexions de M. Lenteaume [ortographié Ganteaume par Séguier] sur l'inscription hébraïque d'Arles et je vous prie de le remercier de ce qu'il a bien voulu jeter les yeux sur mon interprétation et m'en faire apercevoir les défauts. Cette inscription d'ailleurs n'est pas d'une assez grande conséquence pour qu'on se donne tant de peine pour l'expliquer. Je suis persuadé que l'interprétation du rabbin de Carpentras doit être préféré à tout autre. Je conviens avec lui pour le commencement et la fin de l'inscription et il ne s'agit que des mots ???????? qu'il divise ainsi ??? ????? et qu'il explique Dominae imola. Cette explication paraît très naturelle et je l'adopte préférablement à tout autre, en sorte que toute l'inscription doit s'interpréter : Hoc est sepulchrum Dominae Imolae filiae S. cette S est la première lettre de quelque nom que ce soit qui commence par cette lettre.

M. Ganteaume remarque très bien le mot ??? est syriaque, on dit en effet dans cette langue (voir lettre) pour dominus et (voir lettre)pour domina, mais il remarque encore mieux que le Juive ne pourrait s'appeler Marthe, comme je l'avais pensé.

Je suis à présent chargé d'une affaire très importante qui regarde la communauté et je ne puis m'entretenir avec le P. Lenteaume, je ne suis pas maître de mon temps. Je vous prie de lui faire mes excuses et de le remercier de son souvenir. Je saisirai quelque autre occasion pour renouer l'ancienne connaissance.

Recevez, je vous prie mes voeux pour l'année qui va commencer. Personne [fol. 194v] ne vous la souhaite plus heureuse que moi. Elle le sera infiniment à mon égard si vous continuez à m'aimer. Les voeux que je fais sont communs à toute votre famille et je vous prie de lui en faire part. Je suis avec l'attachement le plus sincère, Monsieur mon très cher ami, votre serviteur très humble.

description: Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and uncertainties in modeling the plant dynamics are the main sources of imprecisions in the design cycle of model-based controllers. These implementation and model uncertainties should be addressed in the early stages of the controller design, otherwise they could lead to failure in the controller performance and consequently increase the time and cost required for completing the controller verification and validation (V&V) with more iterative loops. In this paper, a new control approach is developed based on a nonlinear discrete sliding mode controller (DSMC) formulation to mitigate the ADC imprecisions and model uncertainties. To this end, a DSMC design is developed against implementation imprecisions by incorporating the knowledge of ADC uncertainties on control inputs via an online uncertainty prediction and propagation mechanism. Next, a generic online adaptive law will be derived to compensate for the impact of an unknown parameter in the controller equations that is assumed to represent the model uncertainty. The final proposed controller is an integrated adaptive DSMC with robustness to implementation and model uncertainties that includes (i) an online ADC uncertainty mechanism, and (ii) an online adaptation law. The proposed adaptive control approach is evaluated on a nonlinear automotive engine control problem in real-time using a processor-in-the-loop (PIL) setup with an actual electronic control unit (ECU). The results reveal that the proposed adaptive control technique removes the uncertainty in the model fast, and significantly improves the robustness of the controllers to ADC imprecisions. This provides up to 60% improvement in the performance of the controller under implementation and model uncertainties compared to a baseline DSMC, in which there are no incorporated ADC imprecisions.

Trapping of Single Atoms with Single Photons in Cavity QED

description: Two recent experiments have reported the trapping of individual atoms inside optical resonators by the mechanical forces associated with single photons [Hood et al., Science 287, 1447 (2000) and Pinkse et al., Nature 404, 365 (2000)]. Here we analyze the trapping dynamics in these settings, focusing on two points of interest. Firstly, we investigate the extent to which light-induced forces in these experiments are distinct from their free-space counterparts. Secondly, we explore the quantitative features of the resulting atomic motion and how these dynamics are mapped onto variations of the intracavity field. Not surprisingly, qualitatively distinct atomic dynamics arise as the coupling and dissipative rates are varied. For the experiment of Hood et al., we show that atomic motion is largely conservative and is predominantly in radial orbits transverse to the cavity axis. A comparison with the free-space theory demonstrates that the fluctuations of the dipole force are suppressed by an order of magnitude. This effect is based upon the Jaynes-Cummings eigenstates of the atom-cavity system and represents qualitatively new physics for optical forces at the single-photon level. By contrast, even in a regime of strong coupling in the experiment of Pinkse et al., there are only small quantitative distinctions between the free-space theory and the quantum theory, so it is not clear that description of this experiment as a novel single-quantum trapping effect is necessary. The atomic motion is strongly diffusive, leading to an average localization time comparable to the time for an atom to transit freely through the cavity and to a reduction in the ability to infer aspects of the atomic motion from the intracavity photon number.

Experiments on predictability of word in context and information rate in natural language

description: Based on data from a large-scale experiment with human subjects, we conclude that the logarithm of probability to guess a word in context (unpredictability) depends linearly on the word length. This result holds both for poetry and prose, even though with prose, the subjects don't know the length of the omitted word. We hypothesize that this effect reflects a tendency of natural language to have an even information rate.

Einstein and Bell, von Mises and Kolmogorov: reality and locality, frequency and probability
Creators: name: Khrennikov, Andrei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We perform frequency analysis of the EPR-Bell argumentation. One of the main consequences of our investigation is that the existence of probability distributions of the Kolmogorov-type which was supposed by some authors is a mathematical assumption which may not be supported by actual physical quantum processes. In fact, frequencies for hidden variables for quantum particles and measurement devices may fluctuate from run to run of an experiment. These fluctuations of frequencies for micro-parameters need not contradict to the stabilization of frequencies for physical observables. If, nevertheless, micro-parameters are also statistically stable, then violations of Bell's inequality and its generalizations may be a consequence of dependence of collectives corresponding to two different measurement devices. Such a dependence implies the violation of the factorization rule for the simultaneous probability distribution. Formally this rule coincides with the well known BCHS locality condition (or outcome independence condition). However, the frequency approach implies totally different interpretation of dependence. It is not dependence of events, but it is dependence of collectives. Such a dependence may be induced by the same preparation procedure.

(De)Constructing Nostalgic Myths of the Mother in Japanese drama Woman
Creators: name: Mithani, Forum

Year: 2019
Subjects: Japan; television drama; motherhood; furusato; nostalgia

description: In a time of uncertainty and crisis, many Japanese have sought comfort in images of an idyllic native home, centred on a devoted, nurturing mother. Paradoxically, while this romanticised conception of the 'mother' is mourned as a casualty of modernisation, it is a relatively recent invention produced in response to anxieties over the rapid social changes Japan experienced during the post-war period. The construction of this maternal fantasy has primarily been the work of men seeking solace in the warm embrace of the 'mother' as compensation for their diminishing social status. However, nostalgic representations are not invariably sweet reminiscences. The television drama Woman is one example of a media product that exploited the nostalgic image of motherhood without ignoring its contraditions. I argue that in its depiction of two contrasting returns to one's native home, the drama constructs an indulgent, child-centred idealisation of motherhood only to deconstruct it through the revelation of its artifice. In the process, it reveals the constrasting dissatisfactions of men and women in contemporary Japan.

Complete Bell-state analysis for superconducting-quantum-interference-device qubits with transitionless tracking algorithm

description: In this paper, we propose a protocol for complete Bell-state analysis for two superconducting-quantum-interference-device qubits. The Bell-state analysis could be completed by using a sequence of microwave pulses designed by the transition- less tracking algorithm, which is an useful method in the technique of shortcut to adiabaticity. After the whole process, the information for distinguishing four Bell states will be encoded on two auxiliary qubits, while the Bell states keep unchanged. One can read out the information by detecting the auxiliary qubits. Thus the Bell-state analysis is nondestructive. The numerical simulations show that the protocol possesses high success probability of distinguishing each Bell state with current experimental technology even when decoherence is taken into account. Thus, the protocol may have potential applications for the information readout in quantum communications and quantum computations in superconducting quantum networks.

Officially Sanctioned Adaptation and Affective Fan Resistance: The Transmedia Convergence of the Online Drama Guardian in China
Creators: name: Wang, Cathy Yue
Publisher: name: Series - International Journal of TV Serial Narratives
Year: 2019
Subjects: Adaptation; Media Censorship; Chinese TV drama; Boys’ Love Fandom; Fan Fictions

description: This article examines how the adaptation process and fan engagement are constituted in the Mainland China media landscape by focusing on the phenomenally popular online drama Guardian (镇魂2018). Through an in-depth analysis of this series, the article explores the contestation and negotiation between the “top-down expurgation” from the drama’s production team during its adaptation process and the “bottom-up subversion” from the fans of this series during its reception and consumption. If the intentional expurgation signifies a strategy of survival confronting the restrictions imposed by censors, then the fans’ creative activities work as a kind of resistance to the (post)socialist ideology in China, where homosexuality has been considered a violation of traditional Confucian values, where supernatural narratives have been viewed as backward superstitions, and socially wronged lower-class members are seen as a threat to social stability. The adaptation of Guardian from novel to drama and its reception becomes a battlefield of strategic compliance and resistance, where economic demand and political power, modern liberal attitudes toward gender, sexuality, and equality and traditional values concerning harmony, conformity, and authority contest and negotiate.
