Roles Recast: Eleanor Antin and the 1970s
Creators: Liebert, Emily Katherine

Subjects: Art

description: "Roles Recast: Eleanor Antin and the 1970s" provides the first book-length study devoted to Eleanor Antin (b. 1935), and positions her practice as a pivotal point between late modernism and postmodernism in American art. The project focuses on Antin's work from 1971 to 1977, made while the artist was living in San Diego. During the period under consideration Antin integrated key facets from dominant art paradigms of the 1960s, especially Conceptualism and Minimalism, with a politics of desire and sexuality, creating art that instantiates a critique of vision. As such, Antin anticipated strategies that would become canonical by the late 1970s in art informed by postmodernist feminism, notably by artists associated with the "Pictures" generation. By arguing that San Diego was a key site from which art informed by postmodernist feminism emerged, I challenge the geographic binary that associates essentialist feminism with southern California and locates a more theoretically-inclined feminism in New York. Through what I call an "aesthetics of precarity," I contend that Antin reveals the vulnerability and potential for mutability that lie at the core of such fields as subjectivity, spectatorship and community. Related, she challenges the stability of visual representation and identity, and reveals the ways that fissures in one compromise the plenitude of the other. I argue that these features of Antin's work, integral to the particular feminism she advanced, served as a protest against the military triumphalist rhetoric--and its celebration of the heroic, stable soldier--that was prevalent during the Vietnam War era in which her artistic practice emerged.

description: In order to predict the stable and metastable phases of the bcc metals in the block of the Periodic Table defined by groups 5B to 6B and periods 4 to 6, as well as the structure dependence of their transport properties, we have performed full potential computations of the total energies per unit cell as a function of the c/a ratio at constant experimental volume. In all cases, a metastable body centered tetragonal (bct) phase was predicted from the calculations. The total energy differences between the calculated stable and metastable phases ranged from 0.09 eV/cell (vanadium) to 0.39 eV/cell (tungsten). The trends in resistivity as a function of structure and atomic number are discussed in terms of a model of electron transport in metals. Theoretical calculations of the electrical resistivity and other transport properties show that bct phases derived from group 5B elements are more conductive than the corresponding bcc phases, while bct phases formed from group 6B elements are less conductive than the corresponding bcc phases. Special attention is paid to the phases of tantalum where we show that the frequently observed beta phase is not a simple tetragonal distortion of bcc tantalum.

description: Educational programs are increasingly using multimedia tools, interactive technology, and applications in recent years. Monitoring the learning efficacy of students, as supervise from interactions with learning objects provided as well as interactions with other users. This affords a need to collect, analyze, and track the different types of data produced. Before the educational data analysis process can begin, data must first be stored on a Learning Record Store (LRS) system within the Learning Management Systems (LMS), which can receive and process web requests. The use of an effective e-learning framework that provides services for the monitoring and analysis of educational data is a crucial move. There are different e-learning standards for e-Learning content interoperability such as Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) which is a standard format to allow the package to work in different LMSs. Another example is IEEE Standard for Learning Technology standards family: the IEEE 1484.11.1, which suggests a complicated data model structure to monitor student experiences with education material.

description: Quantum Gravity admits topological excitations of microscopic scale which can manifest themselves as particles --- topological geons. Non-trivial spatial topology also brings into the theory free parameters analogous to the $θ$-angle of QCD. We show that these parameters can be interpreted in terms of geon properties. We also find that, for certain values of the parameters, the geons exhibit new patterns of particle identity together with new types of statistics. Geon indistinguishability in such a case is expressed by a proper subgroup of the permutation group and geon statistics by a (possibly projective) representation of the subgroup.

description: The Elk Valley has a long history of land use that has resulted in an extensive road network across the landscape. While roads serve a purpose at the time of development and various subsequent uses, a high concentration of roads can result in negative effects on adjacent ecosystems, wildlife, and habitats. In 2018, the Elk Valley Cumulative Effects Management Framework (EV-CEMF) identified road density as the dominant stressor impacting five regionally important ecosystems and species identified as valued components (VCs) in the Elk Valley (aquatic ecosystems, grizzly bear, bighorn sheep, and old growth and mature forest). In pursuit of sustainability, Teck has made maintaining biodiversity a core value. Guided by Teck’s aspirational vision to secure a Net Positive Impact on biodiversity, Teck is committed to reducing its potential contributions to cumulative effects in the regions in which they have influence. In alignment with recommendations from the EV-CEMF, Teck is working to assess and rehabilitate road networks on its privately-owned land and Crown coal tenure lands where road density is high, and where road rehabilitation is expected to mitigate potential adverse cumulative impacts on VCs. The goal of Teck’s Road Rehabilitation Program is to return linear features to conditions similar to that of adjacent undisturbed areas. By engaging with and incorporating feedback from Indigenous communities, the province, local communities, and various stakeholders prior to rehabilitation, Teck has developed a supported Program that has rehabilitated approximately 32 km of linear features since 2021. The Program implements native-species revegetation and an adaptive monitoring program following earthworks. Road Rehabilitation contributes to improved habitat quality, restoration of hydrological processes, reduction of chronic soil erosion and reduced spread of invasive vegetation. Through ongoing engagement, Teck will continue to seek additional opportunities to reduce the impacts of linear disturbance for regionally valued ecosystems and wildlife.

description: In general a universal covering of a non connected topological group need not admit a topological group structure such that the covering map is a morphism of topological groups. This result is due to R.L. Taylor (1953). We generalise this result and relate it to the theory of obstructions to group extensions. The methods use: the equivalence between covering maps of X and covering groupoids of the fundamental groupoid of X; the equivalence between group groupoids and crossed modules; and descriptions of cohomology in terms of crossed complexes.

Roles of Retinoid Signaling in Urothelial Progenitor Cells

Epithelium--Physiology
Bladder

description: The bladder urothelium is a stratified epithelium that interconnects with the ureters to form the urinary outflow tract. A defining feature of the urothelium is its luminal population of uroplakin-expressing Superficial cells that function to create a protective, waterproof barrier. As such, proper differentiation of urothelial cell types during development and regeneration is essential for bladder function. Previous work has demonstrated that the urothelium is derived from a transient endodermal progenitor population, termed P-cells. However, two remaining uncertainties are the timing and regulation of P-cell fate. Here we show through lineage tracing that the specification of P-cells into luminal, uroplakin-expressing cell types is temporally related to the timing of endogenous retinoic acid (RA) signaling. Selective inhibition of RA signaling in P-cells through ShhCre-driven expression of the RaraT403 dominant-negative (RaraDN) mutant receptor redirected cells towards an abnormal K14+ basal fate that underwent Notch-mediated stratification into a keratinizing squamous epithelium that largely resembled epidermis. Transcriptome analysis of mutant P-cells identified aberrant expression of transcriptional regulators that have critical roles in squamous differentiation and epidermal commitment. Interestingly, inhibition of RA signaling in P-cells also resulted in improper connections between the ureters and the bladder through reduced Caspase 9-mediated apoptosis and remodeling of the common nephric duct. These observations demonstrate that RA signaling in bladder urothelial progenitor cells is required not only for proper epithelial differentiation, but also for regulating inter-organ signals that orchestrate morphogenesis of the urinary outflow tract.

Light Scattering in Transparent Glass Ceramics

description: Transparent glass ceramic materials, with microstructures comprised of dispersed nanocrystallites in a residual glass matrix, offer the prospect of nonlinear optical properties. However, good transparency requires low optical scattering and low atomic absorption. The attenuation of light due to scattering (turbidity) will depend upon the difference in refractive index of the two phases and the size and distribution of crystals in the glass. Here, we model the glass ceramic as a late-stage phase-separated structure, and compute scattering in this model. We find that the turbidity follows a k^8 R^7 relationship, where k is the wavevector of light in the glass ceramic and R is the average radius of the crystals in the glass.

description: This dissertation explores the use of romance across religious poetry in late medieval England. Medieval devotional poems frequently borrow motifs and devices from romance; they might, for example, figure Jesus as a knight jousting with the devil or adopt the romance technique of interlace to narrate the Passion. Critics most frequently read these borrowings as a popularizing method, arguing that the poets of these religious texts turn to romance in order to appeal to their secular audience. I argue instead that late 14th century Middle English poets use romance to explore difficult theological paradoxes and Christian practices. In Pearl, the romance descriptio personae helps articulate the paradoxes of divine reward, at once hierarchical and egalitarian. In Piers Plowman, the romance incognito demonstrates the shifting and multivalent nature of the Trinity. In St. Erkenwald, the slow indulgence of romance wonder stands in contrast to God’s time, which is simultaneously immediate and drawn-out. In the Canterbury Tales, the romance parody of Thopas primes the reader for the prudential lessons of Melibee. This dissertation adds to a growing body of scholarship that reads medieval romance, and in particular Middle English romance, as a genre that does not simply entertain audiences but also interrogates, challenges, or reiterates medieval values and ideas. However, this project adds to current scholarship by examining romance out of its native context and inside or beside religious genres instead. In the first three chapters, I argue that by triggering a romantic reading, the Middle English poems Pearl, Piers Plowman, and St. Erkenwald enact and demonstrate the conceptual difficulties of certain theological paradoxes. In these poems, romance serves as a contemplative tool by demonstrating the reader’s comprehensive limits in the face of the divine. My fourth chapter, which explores Chaucer’s romance parody Sir Thopas alongside his pedagogical treatise Melibee, instead considers the Christian virtue of prudence; here, the exaggerated romance tropes of Sir Thopas prepare the pilgrims to pay penance prudentially by feeling and contemplating time in daily Christian life. While romance does not articulate a paradox about God in Thopas-Melibee, it still prompts contemplation about a difficult Christian virtue, prudence. In all four chapters, I find that romance serves as a vehicle for spiritual contemplation because of its own modes of thinking, whether that be social, economic, or temporal. Whether romance is set within or beside devotional texts, the secular genre allows the reader to contemplate difficult Christian theology and practices and to experience them as difficult in contemplation. Romance, I argue, is a critical tool in the vernacular theologian’s toolkit.

description: We solve the Cauchy problem for the relativistic closed string in Minkowski space $M^{3+1}$, including the cases where the initial data has a knot like topology. We give the general conditions for the world sheet of a closed knotted string to be a time periodic surface. In the particular case of zero initial string velocity the period of the world sheet is proportional to half the length ($\ell$) of the initial string and a knotted string always collapses to a link for $t=\ell/4$. Relativistic closed strings are dynamically evolving or pulsating structures in spacetime, and knotted or unknotted like structures remain stable over time. The generation of arbitrary $n$-fold knots, starting with an initial simple link configuration with non zero velocity is possible.

Roles of transcription factor T-bet in memory CD4+ T cell generation, function, homeostasis and tissue targeting

description: Memory T cells are a critical component of immunological memory, which provides long-lasting immunological protection. These cells are characterized by a lower response threshold, rapid effector cytokine production, and prolonged longevity, and thus allow organisms to respond to pathogens more rapidly and effectively. However, the mechanisms that regulate the generation, function, homeostasis and tissue targeting of memory CD4+ T cells are not clear.
      This body of work investigated post-effector requirement for T-bet expression in determining the circulating and tissue resident memory CD4+ T cell fate and the implications of early T-bet deletion on lung CD4+ TRM development. We used mouse models with conditional expression of T-bet to delete T-bet in CD4+ T cells after priming and effector differentiation to analyze the development of resultant memory CD4+ T cells. We found that T-bet-ablation following cell priming and Th1 polarization did not impair the ability of Th1 effector cells to produce high levels of IFN-γ production, and moreover, there were dramatic increases in IL-2 production, suggesting post-effector T-bet expression is not required for functional maintenance in effector cells. Memory CD4+ T cells that developed from T-bet ablated effector cells after transfer to lymphocyte deficient RAG1/2-/- hosts or intact congenic hosts had increased persistence, and they maintained lower but substantial levels of IFN-γ and higher IL-2 production. We found elevation of IL-17 production and RORγt expression in T-bet ablated memory CD4+ T cells, and transcriptome analysis further showed that these cells upregulated genes expressed by other CD4+ T cell subsets, including Foxp3 and GATA3, indicating greater functional plasticity of T-bet-ablated memory CD4+ T cells. Increased localization of T-bet-ablated memory CD4+ T cells in the lung resident niche was found only in RAG1/2-/- hosts but not in congenic hosts, indicating the importance of the tissue environment in the development of TRM cells.
      Using antigen specific T-bet+/- OT-II and T-bet-/- OT-II cells, we found that T-bet+/- OT-II cells had increased persistence while T-bet-/- OT-II cells had decreased persistence compared with the wild type OT-II cells after PR8-OVA influenza virus infection. However, both T-bet+/- and T-bet-/- OT-II cells had normal TRM formation.
      Collectively, our results reveal the roles of T-bet in regulating the generation, function, maintenance and tissue targeting of memory CD4+ T cells.

description: With the recent occurrence of artisanal small-scale mining (ASM) in Ghana, the effect of heavy metal accumulations and devegetation on the natural environment is increasing. The use of plants has been suggested to be an eco-friendly approach that have the ability to remove heavy metals used in the mining activities. There is a formalized interventions particularly used by commercial large scale mining establishments, but in the case of ASM there is paucity of knowledge in which naturally regenerated plant species could be used as an effective reclamation tool in heavy metal removal and promoting pioneer species recovery on abandoned illegal mining sites. In this study, we characterized two mining methods (alluvial and chamfi) and explored the extent and ability of early succession regenerating plants to remediate heavy metals at these sites after four (4) years of mining cessation. A randomised sampling approach used on selected plots made from 54 abandoned mined out sites (27 alluvial and 27 chamfi) and their respective controls (54 unmined areas) were demarcated for seedling and sapling assessments and plant-soil heavy metal interaction. A total of 6,157 seedlings belonging to 133 species and 536 saplings belonging to 42 species were recorded. Pielou's evenness and Shannon indices showed that both seedlings and saplings were equitably distributed between mined-out sites and their controls for both methods. A high bioaccumulation factor was recorded in the roots of plants located within the alluvial mining sites compared to that of the soils in the chamfi mining sites for heavy metals of Lead and Arsenic. A higher Translocation Factor (TF) was recorded for alluvial sites compared to the chamfi sites, which recorded lower levels of TF. Natural regenerated vegetation has the ability to enhance biodiversity recovery of the numerous abandoned ASM sites either than the known artificial reclamation practised.

title: Are metacognition interventions in young children effective? Evidence from a series of meta-analyses

description: A metacognitive learner acts in a planful way, monitors their progress, flexibly adapts their strategies, and reflects on their learning. Unsurprisingly, a metacognitive approach to learning is an important predictor of children’s academic performance and many attempts have been made to promote metacognition in young children. The current meta-analytic study evaluates the impact of such metacognition interventions on outcomes related to self-regulated learning and academic achievement in typically developing pre- and elementary school children. Structural, content-related, and methodological moderators were tested in this study including 349 effect sizes from 67 studies. An overall effectiveness of metacognition interventions was evidenced at immediate post-test g = 0.48 (95% CI [0.35, 0.61]), and at follow-up g = 0.29 (95% CI [0.17, 0.40]). Interestingly, metacognition interventions effectively enhanced children’s self-efficacy only at follow-up, suggesting that the positive impact of these interventions can unfold over a protracted period. For the first time, children’s executive functions were considered as outcome variables and results indicated a positive impact of metacognition interventions on these variables. One notable finding was that interventions that were delivered by teachers or task materials were more effective than interventions that were delivered by researchers for two outcomes related to self-regulated learning. This finding may reflect recent improvements in how teachers and researchers collaborate to develop intervention programs. The study supports and extends existing evidence that young learners benefit from metacognition interventions in myriad ways and provides novel insights relevant for pedagogical practice and theories of self-regulated learning.

Autor war der Braunschweiger Museumsdirektor Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Jesse (1887–1972). Er gehörte zu den ersten Mitgliedern der 1943 gegründeten Braunschweigischen Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft. Seine Ideen zur Fundnumismatik inspirierten bald Walter Hävernick (1905–1983) zu seiner Konzeption einer flächendeckenden Funddokumentation für Thüringen (1943/1955) und Deutschland (1950). Aus dem maschinenschriftlichen Fundkatalog Mittelalter/Neuzeit "seiner" Numismatischen Kommission der Länder in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist ein halbes Jahrhundert später der EDV-Münzfundkatalog hervorgegangen.
Rome II Regulation and Liability of Multinationals for Human Rights Violations in Third Countries: Irreconcilable Differences? The Public policy exception to the application of the "host countries" legislation under Rome II Regulation

Tort liability of corporations

description: The past 20 years have seen an increase in the number of legal cases brought against corporations in their home countries for the harm caused by human rights violations in host countries. Lawyers apply different areas of law, such as civil law, criminal law or consumer protection law, to try to hold corporations legally responsible in their home countries for human rights abuses committed abroad. From these, tort law is one of the few available ways for victims to bring direct claims against corporations. The applicable law in this type of situation is of paramount importance. It is especially relevant when the standards between the developing host countries and the developed home countries are different. The applicable law will define the standard, the duty of care, as well as determine the amount of the damages. This thesis explores the effect of the European Union’s conflict-of-laws rules on these types of claims. It focuses on Rome II Regulation, specifically on the general rule set out in article 4 whereby the applicable law shall be the one of the country in which the damage occurs. The analysis is centered on the effect the rule has on such claims and the viability of overcoming it using the public order exception under article 26. By examining the legislative history of Rome II Regulation, legal academic articles and opinions of legal experts, statutory law of EU Member States, domestic case-law and case-law of the European Court of Justice, this thesis argues that the public order clause is an exceptional argument. It has been rarely used in the area of non-contractual obligations and it presents different weaknesses. It proposes further research on the topic as well as an amendment of Rome II Regulation to include a specific choice-of law rule for business related human rights claims against EU companies.

description: We examine critically the Gambier equation and show that it is the generic linearisable equation containing, as reductions, all the second-order equations which are integrable through linearisation. We then introduce the general discrete form of this equation, the Gambier mapping, and present conditions for its integrability. Finally, we obtain the reductions of the Gambier mapping, identify their integrable forms and compute their continuous limits.

Exchange interaction parameters and adiabatic spin-wave spectra of ferromagnets: A "renormalized magnetic force theorem"
Creators: name: Bruno, P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ``magnetic force theorem'' is frequently used to compute exchange interaction parameters and adiabatic spin-wave spectra of ferromagnets. The interest of this approach is that it allows to obtain these results from a non-self-consistent calculation of the (single-electron) band energy only, which greatly reduces the computational effort. However, as discussed by various authors, this approach entail some systematic error. Here, a ``renormalized magnetic force theorem'' allowing to remove this systematic error without increasing significantly the computational effort is presented. For systems with one atom per unit cell, it amounts to a simple renormalization of the spin-wave spectrum. This renormalization greatly improves the agreement between calculated and experimental Curie temperatures of Fe and Ni.

description: A combined model of the Kerr spinning particle and superparticle is considered. The structure of the Kerr geometry is presented in a complex form as being created by a complex source. A natural supergeneralization of this construction is obtained corresponding to a complex "supersource". Peforming a supershift to the Kerr and Kerr-Sen solutions we obtain metrics of supergravity black holes with a nonlinear realization of broken supersymmetry.
