“Authorizing for oneself a place in the world”
Creators: name: Malandrino, Raffaella
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2015

description: Jhumpa Lahiri’s 2003 novel The Namesake unfolds as the Bildungsroman of Gogol, the child of Bengali immigrant parents who is torn between his American upbringing and his Indian ancestry. Fraught with the most intimate aspects of the intergenerational conflict of immigrant lives in America, Lahiri’s narrative is reframed in a 2006 movie by the director Mira Nair. Nair’s The Namesake emerges as a collectivizing work, aiming at establishing a spatial and an emotional continuity between India and America. This article discusses how the narrative dissonances and the communicative voids that mold the protagonist’s angst in the novel are rendered by the power of the camera. By reinserting the Indian American second generation in a web of collective fruition, Mira Nair’s gaze illuminates the protagonist’s existential transformation, and at the same time grounds the South Asian diasporic experience onto an American, as well as a global realm of recognition.

description: The article discusses the evolution of civilian nuclear policies in Cold War America and the impact upon them of the incident at the reactor of Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in March 1979. It examines three interrelated issues: the inescapable connection between the civilian and the military dimensions of nuclear power; the effective mobilization from below against nuclear energy in 1970s’ America, and the ability of anti-nuclear groups to appeal across the political and cultural spectrum; and how the political and cultural transformations of the 1970s challenged the certainties of the previous decades and hindered the development of nuclear energy. The article is divided in three parts, dealing respectively with the intrinsic contradictions of nuclear power, the increasing difficulties of the nuclear industry in the 1970s and, finally, the impact of Three Mile Island.

description: Existing user simulators (USs) for task-oriented dialogue systems only model user behaviour on semantic and natural language levels without considering the user persona and emotions. Optimising dialogue systems with generic user policies, which cannot model diverse user behaviour driven by different emotional states, may result in a high drop-off rate when deployed in the real world. Thus, we present EmoUS, a user simulator that learns to simulate user emotions alongside user behaviour. EmoUS generates user emotions, semantic actions, and natural language responses based on the user goal, the dialogue history, and the user persona. By analysing what kind of system behaviour elicits what kind of user emotions, we show that EmoUS can be used as a probe to evaluate a variety of dialogue systems and in particular their effect on the user's emotional state. Developing such methods is important in the age of large language model chat-bots and rising ethical concerns.

Guido Fink and American Film Studies

Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2015

description: This essay focuses on the early years in the career of scholar and film critic Guido Fink (1935-), one of the most influential intellectuals in his generation and a passionate pioneer in the field of American culture and cinema. By concentrating on Fink’s juvenile articles, which he published in the early 1950s in the local journal La nuova scintilla and in the national newspaper L’Unità, the essay aims to highlight the extraordinary elements of innovation and insight they contain. Fink was in fact experimenting with interdisciplinarity, matching theory with historical and cultural reflection, and analyzing cinema in its interconnections with literature, theater, and society at a time when nobody else did. All this would later not only become characteristic of his personal methodology of research, but also prove essential to the development of film studies and cultural studies in the international arena.

description: We calculate the differential conductance at a probe inserted in the weak link of a topological Josephson junction, consisting of a semiconducting nanowire deposited on top of two separated superconductors. Our aim is to understand how the peculiar features in the spectrum of Andreev bound states, arising due to the presence of Majorana bound states at the ends of the two topological superconducting wires defining the junction, can be determined through a measurement of the differential conductance. We find that when the probe allows a single propagating mode, the differential conductance presents a dip at zero voltage of zero conductance close to the position where the spectrum exhibits the topologically protected crossing. This can be viewed as a signature of the presence of Majorana states, which does not require fermion parity conservation and is robust against parameters' changes, as well as disorder. On the contrary, when the probe allows two or more propagating modes the differential conductance resembles the spectrum of Andreev bound states. This has been established making use of both numerical and analytical methods.

description: Recently Weinberg suggested that Goldstone bosons arising from the spontaneous breakdown of some global hidden symmetries can interact weakly in the early Universe and account for a fraction of the effective number of neutrino species N_eff, which has been reported persistently 1 σaway from its expected value of three. In this work, we study in some details a number of experimental constraints on this interesting idea based on the simplest possibility of a global U(1), as studied by Weinberg. We work out the decay branching ratios of the associated light scalar field $σ$ and suggest a possible collider signature at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In some corners of the parameter space, the scalar field σcan decay into a pair of pions with a branching ratio of order O(1)% while the rest is mostly a pair of Goldstone bosons. The collider signature would be gluon fusion into the standard model Higgs boson gg -> H or associated production with a W gauge boson q q'-bar -> H W, followed by H -> σσ-> (ππ) (αα), where αis the Goldstone boson.

description: We study the behaviour of cubic blue phases under shear flow via lattice Boltzmann simulations. We focus on the two experimentally observed phases, Blue Phase I (BPI) and Blue Phase II (BPII). The disclination network of Blue Phase II continuously breaks and reforms under steady shear, leading to an oscillatory stress response in time. For larger shear rates, the structure breaks up into a Grandjean texture with a cholesteric helix lying along the flow gradient direction. Blue Phase I leads to a very different response. Here, oscillations are only possible for intermediate shear rates -- very slow flow causes a transition of the initially ordered structure into an amorphous network with an apparent yield stress. Larger shear rates lead to another amorphous state with different structure of the defect network. For even larger flow rates the same break-up into a Grandjean texture as for Blue Phase II is observed. At the highest imposed flow rates both cubic blue phases adopt a flow-aligned nematic state. Our results provide the first theoretical investigation of sheared blue phases in large systems, and are relevant to understanding the bulk rheology of these materials.

description: We explore the possibility of further gravitational wave modes in $F(T)$ gravity, where $T$ is the torsion scalar in teleparallelism. It is explicitly demonstrated that gravitational wave modes in $F(T)$ gravity are equivalent to those in General Relativity. This result is achieved by calculating the Minkowskian limit for a class of analytic function of $F(T)$. This consequence is also confirmed by the preservative analysis around the flat background in the weak field limit with the scalar-tensor representation of $F(T)$ gravity.

description: Camera pose estimation for two-view geometry traditionally relies on RANSAC. Normally, a multitude of image correspondences leads to a pool of proposed hypotheses, which are then scored to find a winning model. The inlier count is generally regarded as a reliable indicator of "consensus". We examine this scoring heuristic, and find that it favors disappointing models under certain circumstances. As a remedy, we propose the Fundamental Scoring Network (FSNet), which infers a score for a pair of overlapping images and any proposed fundamental matrix. It does not rely on sparse correspondences, but rather embodies a two-view geometry model through an epipolar attention mechanism that predicts the pose error of the two images. FSNet can be incorporated into traditional RANSAC loops. We evaluate FSNet on fundamental and essential matrix estimation on indoor and outdoor datasets, and establish that FSNet can successfully identify good poses for pairs of images with few or unreliable correspondences. Besides, we show that naively combining FSNet with MAGSAC++ scoring approach achieves state of the art results.

description: We derive an exact closed-form expression for fidelity susceptibility of even- and odd-sized quantum Ising chains in the transverse field. To this aim, we diagonalize the Ising Hamiltonian and study the gap between its positive and negative parity subspaces. We derive an exact closed-form expression for the gap and use it to identify the parity of the ground state. We point out misunderstanding in some of the former studies of fidelity susceptibility and discuss its consequences. Last but not least, we rigorously analyze the properties of the gap. For example, we derive analytical expressions showing its exponential dependence on the ratio between the system size and the correlation length.

description: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine laypeople's subjective understanding of their own wisdom development. To do this, autobiographical memories of wisdom-fostering life events were examined for (a) life-event characteristics, and (b) self-reflective processes believed to support growth in wisdom through life experience. Methods: Midlife adults (N = 482) provided a written autobiographical memory of a wisdom-fostering life event. Memories were content analyzed by expert coders for life-event characteristics (i.e., fundamentality, emotional valence, cultural normativity, and specific event types) and self-reflective processes (i.e., narrative coherence, meaning-making, and personal growth). Participants also completed self-report and performance measures of wisdom. Results: Wisdom-fostering life events tended to be fundamental to life, culturally non-normative, and emotionally negative. Participants frequently reported developing wisdom from relationship events (e.g., interpersonal conflict, divorce) and life-threatening/mortality events (e.g., death, serious illness). Wisdom was positively associated with reconstructive (i.e., narrative coherence) and analytical (i.e., meaning-making, personal growth) components of self-reflection. Self-reflective processes varied as a function of life-event characteristics. Discussion: This study emphasizes the role of both persons and environments in the development of wisdom, and highlights the importance of self-reflection as a mechanism through which wisdom is constructed from life experience.

description: Due to the non-ideality of analog components, transceivers experience high levels of hardware imperfections, like in-phase and quadrature imbalance (IQI), which manifests itself as the mismatches of amplitude and phase between the I and Q branches. Unless proper mitigated, IQI has an important and negative impact on the reliability and efficiency of high-frequency and high-data-rate systems, such as terahertz wireless networks. Recognizing this, the current paper presents an intelligent transmitter (TX) and an intelligent receiver (RX) architecture that by employing machine learning (ML) methodologies is capable to fully-mitigate the impact of IQI without performing IQI coefficients estimation. They key idea lies on co-training the TX mapper's and RX demapper in order to respectively design a constellation and detection scheme that takes accounts for IQI. Two training approaches are implemented, namely: i) conventional that requires a considerable amount of data for training, and ii) a reinforcement learning based one, which demands a shorter dataset in comparison to the former. The feasibility and efficiency of the proposed architecture and training approaches are validated through respective Monte Carlo simulations.

Consequences of Participating in Questionable Academia: A Global Survey of Authors of Journal Articles and Conference Presentations

description: We designed a survey to examine the consequences of publishing in predatory journals and presenting at questionable conferences. The response rate of 4.1% is low, but expected, primarily because of the sensitivity of the subject matter. Nevertheless, as we have shown by comparing the responses obtained from all presenters (Figure 1), the geographical distribution of the responses allows us to draw more general conclusions. The results deserve further analysis and presentation in an expanded form. In the next step, we plan to deepen the present quantitative analysis and cross reference it with a qualitative analysis of the more than 600 responses we obtained to the open questions. Our survey shows a positive effect for individual researchers related to the activities we asked about. This can be seen both in the fact that, if researchers obtained advice before submitting an article to a journal or conference, this advice was in favour of a given outlet. Reactions from the close academic scientific community, as well as reactions beyond it, show that many researchers were congratulated and felt that this publication/presentation had a positive impact on their work. However, it is important to note that 13.3% of respondents indicated that the publication/presentation we asked about was not considered in their evaluation and nine researchers were fired because of this publication/presentation. One of the objectives of our study was to emphasise the perspective of researchers who choose to cooperate with questionable journals or conference organisers. Although numerous previous studies have presented the harmful effects of predatory academia, the majority of respondents indicated positive consequences of their choice. Both the authors’ positive judgement regarding their papers’ impact on science, as well as the positive formal consequences of such a choice of publishers, may indicate that such papers can encourage the rethinking of academic policies. The prevalence of the phenomenon may suggest that it is profitable for many authors to function within the predatory academy. Nonetheless, besides profiting individuals, it is detrimental to the wider scientific community. Thus, it is crucial to encourage researchers to function within credible means of scholarly communication, which would meet not only their own specific needs but would also be advantageous for the scholarly community.

Denied Citizenry and the Postnational Imaginary
Creators: name: Carosso, Andrea
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2014

description: This paper documents the emergence of a new sub-genre of U.S. literature, encompassing narratives focusing on the social and cultural backlash on Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This body of literature, produced by a new generation of authors of Middle Eastern descent writing in as well as outside the U.S., engages the problematic construction of the Middle Eastern (often summarily stereotyped as “Arab,” “Islamic” or “Muslim”) in the U.S. as disidentified citizen in the age of the War on Terror. In so doing – and more importantly – this new sub-genre calls for an urgent revision of notions of national literature, as it reflects new modes of diasporic citizenry in U.S. society and its representation in the new century. Deeply confronting conflicting notions of denied citizenry and exclusion in post 9/11 U.S., recent works by Mohsin Hamid, H.M. Naqvi and Moustafa Bayoumi (among others) bring to the foreground the emergence of what I call, after Donald Pease, a Postnational Imaginary, and engage literary studies to reassess the role of the postcolonial in twenty-first century American Studies as a scholarly discipline.

Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2014

description: The Man Farthest Down (1912), which narrates the 1910 visit to Europe of the prominent African-American leader Booker T. Washington, includes an important section on Sicily. The book focuses on social conditions in Europe and within this framework Sicily and the Sicilians firstly appear as a negative counter-image of the African Americans in the United States South. The island’s poverty results from the traditionalism of its population, its instrumental religion and lack of morality. Washington refuses, however, to racialize this negative image, and at a second level of his narrative he deploys Sicily as a case to deconstruct stereotyped representations, while comparisons between Sicily and the United States also provide covert critiques of social conditions, especially of African Americans, in the latter country. At a third level, Washington also frequently provides positive images of Sicilians. These images reflect his genuine understanding for Sicilians as a downtrodden group, and his appreciation of their human qualities. This layered description undoubtedly influences Washington’s analysis of the causes of poverty in Sicily. The traditionalism and alleged lack of morality of its population, the causes originally outlined, at a second level become consequences of the neglect and oppression of the Sicilians. He remains, however, surprisingly silent about possible remedies for Sicily’s problems, and ignores in fact movements for change that were effectively occurring on the island. We can assume, however, that his moderate programme in the United States, proposing uplift of the African American community through education and self-help, made it difficult to endorse radical changes in an island whose conditions he had constantly compared to the American South.

description: We model molecular cloud fragmentation with thin disk non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations that include ambipolar diffusion and partial ionization that transitions from primarily ultraviolet dominated to cosmic ray dominated regimes. These simulations are used to determine the conditions required for star clusters to form through a two-stage fragmentation scenario. Recent linear analyses have shown that the fragmentation length and time scales can undergo a dramatic drop across the column density boundary that separates the ultraviolet and cosmic ray dominated ionization regimes. As found in earlier studies, the absence of an ionization drop and regular perturbations leads to a single-stage fragmentation on parsec scales in transcritical clouds, so that the nonlinear evolution yields the same fragment sizes as predicted by linear theory. However, we find that a combination of initial transcritical mass-to-flux ratio, evolution through a column density regime in which the ionization drop takes place, and regular small perturbations to the mass-to-flux ratio are sufficient to cause a second stage of fragmentation during the nonlinear evolution. Cores of size ~0.1 pc are formed within an initial fragment of ~ pc size. Regular perturbations to the mass-to-flux ratio also accelerate the onset of runaway collapse.

description: Describing our interaction with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems as 'collaboration' is well-intentioned, but flawed. Not only is it misleading, but it also takes away the credit of AI 'labour' from the humans behind it, and erases and obscures an often exploitative arrangement between AI producers and consumers. The AI 'collaboration' metaphor is merely the latest episode in a long history of labour appropriation and credit reassignment that disenfranchises labourers in the Global South. I propose that viewing AI as a tool or an instrument, rather than a collaborator, is more accurate, and ultimately fairer.

description: The recently accentuated features of augmenting conventional wireless networks with high altitude platform systems (HAPS) have fueled a plethora of applications, which promise to offer new services to ground users, as well to enhance the efficiency and pervasion of existing applications. Cloud-enabled HAPS, which aims to create HAPS-based datacenters that offer cloud services to users, has particularly emerged as a promising key enabler to provide large-scale equitable services from the sky. Although offering cloud services from the HAPS proves to be efficient, its practical deployment at the stratosphere level still faces many challenges such as high energy requirements, physical maintenance, and is particularly prone to security considerations. Safeguarding the cloud-enabled HAPS against various cyberattacks is a necessity to guarantee its safe operation. This paper proposes a blockchain model to secure cloud-enabled HAPS networks that contain a large number of HAPS stations from recurring cyberattacks within the context of the environment and infrastructure monitoring (EIM) application. To this end, the paper first presents a detailed blockchain framework, and describes the ways of integrating the developed framework into the various system components. We then discuss the details of the system implementation, including the storing and consuming of cloud transactions, the generation of new blocks, and the blockchain consensus protocol that is tailored to the EIM requirements. Finally, we present numerical simulations that illustrate the performance of the system in terms of throughput, latency, and resilience to attacks.

description: We discuss the low energy effective dynamics of gapless excitations of the mass vortices of systems similar to the Ginzburg-Landau description of superfluid helium-3 in the bulk B phase. Our approach is to determine the vortex solution by considering a specific ansatz for the order parameter and minimizing the free energy. The conditions on the $β_i$ coefficients required for the stability of the various solutions for the order parameter are calculated. By considering the symmetries that are broken by the vortex solutions we are able to generate the moduli fields associated with the low energy excitations of the vortices. Using these fields we determine the effective free energy describing the dynamics of these excitations.

Reduction of BTZ spacetime to hypersurfaces of foliation
Creators: name: Park, I. Y.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We reduce the BTZ spacetime to two kinds of hypersurfaces of foliation: one having a fixed radial coordinate and the other a fixed angular coordinate. The radial reduction leads to a Liouville type theory, and confirms, from the first principle, the expectation laid out in the literature. In the other endeavor, the angular reduction of the 3D gravity is carried out in two different ways; the first again yields a Liouville type theory (different from that of the radial reduction) and the second yields a 2D interacting quantum field theory with quartic potential. Finally we discuss potential implications of our result for the Equivalence Principle and Purity of Hawking radiation.

description: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the position and financing needs of agri-food industry in Slovakia. There is a growth of agri-food sector which is reflected in growing demand for finance. Despite current favourable conditions on the financial market in Slovakia, some viable firms still face a credit constraint. Financing gap exists due to relatively high interest rates for some firms and due to their lack of sufficient collateral. Based on the survey results and focus group meetings we estimate the financing gap. Results show that there is potential for a further expansion of the financing market, with a financing gap estimated at EUR 36.8 mil. Small firms suffer the most from the financing gap and they constitute 77.4% of the gap. Financing gap and financing needs will be growing in the future. Firms need to increase investment to stay competitive on the market and need to adopt to changes in consumer preferences. This requires further investment into new technology and equipment. Tougher environmental requirements make firms invest into more environmentally friendly production processes. Furthermore, the sector is expected to be growing in the future. Financial instruments in the form of loan guarantees and interest rate subsidies would partly eliminate the existing financing gap. Small firms would benefit from simple and flexible financial instruments serving as guarantees for loans. Large firms would benefit from long-term loans supported by financial instruments. Policy-makers should place special attention on the use of financial instruments in agri-food sub-sectors with potential high value added and high employment.
Membrane potential based assay for SLC15A2 using HEK-293 SLC15A2 OE cells

description: FLIPR® membrane potential dye measures changes of charges across the cell membrane, upon activation of SLC15A2. The assay allows the detection of ion channel and transporter modulation by increasing or decreasing the fluorescent signal as cellular membrane potential changes. When cells are depolarized dye enters the cells, causing an increase in fluorescent signal, conversely, cells hyperpolarization results in dye exit and decreased fluorescence (Figure 1). SLC15A2 belongs to the proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters (POTs) family, it is an electrogenic transporter that mediates the cellular uptake of di/tripeptides and many peptide-like drugs such as cefadroxil, valacyclovir and others, utilizing an inwardly directed proton gradient.

description: We investigate the chiral properties of SU(2) gauge theory with six flavors, i.e. six light Dirac fermions in the fundamental representations by lattice simulation, and point out that the spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry does not occur in this system. The quark mass dependence of the mesonic spectrum provides an evidence for such a possibility. The decay constant tends to be increased by the finite size effect, which is opposite to the behavior predicted by chiral perturbation theory and indicates that the long distance dynamics in the six-flavor theory could be different from the theory with chiral symmetry breaking. The subtracted chiral condensate, whose utility is demonstrated by the simulation of two-flavor theory, is shown to vanish in the chiral limit within the precision of available data.

Integral preserving discretization of 2D Toda lattices

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There are different methods of discretizing integrable systems. We consider semi-discrete analog of two-dimensional Toda lattices associated to the Cartan matrices of simple Lie algebras that was proposed by Habibullin in 2011. This discretization is based on the notion of Darboux integrability. Generalized Toda lattices are known to be Darboux integrable in the continuous case (that is, they admit complete families of characteristic integrals in both directions). We prove that semi-discrete analogs of Toda lattices associated to the Cartan matrices of all simple Lie algebras are Darboux integrable. By examining the properties of Habibullin's discretization we show that if a function is a characteristic integral for a generalized Toda lattice in the continuous case, then the same function is a characteristic integral in the semi-discrete case as well. We consider characteristic algebras of such integral-preserving discretizations of Toda lattices to prove the existence of complete families of characteristic integrals in the second direction.

description: A definition of quantum correlation is presented for an arbitrary bipartite quantum state based on the skew information. This definition not only inherits the good properties of skew information such as the contractivity and so on, but also is effective and almost analytically calculated for any bipartite quantum states. We also reveal the relation between our measure and quantum metrology. As applications, we give the exact expressions of quantum correlation for many states, which provides a direct support for our result.

A Transnational Streetcar Named Desire

description: The 1948 premiere production of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire in Mexico was an international event. This first Mexican-Spanish production was directed by the Japanese director Seki Sano, who had immigrated to Mexico from Japan in 1939. An avid student of the theatrical technique of the Russian Stanislavski, Seki Sano founded the Mexican semi-professional Teatro de la Reforma. This was the group that performed the Spanish premiere of Williams’ Streetcar in the Palacio de Bellas Artes of Mexico City between December 4 and December 12, 1948 (ten performances in all). The extraordinary success of this Streetcar not only introduced Tennessee Williams to Mexican audiences in Spanish, it also made it possible for the Japanese immigrant Seki Sano and his group to revolutionize Mexican theater. Adding to the international dimension of this Spanish-language premiere of Williams’ Un tranvía llamdo deseo was the Polish-Mexican actor, and friend of Tennessee Williams, Wolf Ruvinskis in the lead role of the play’s Stanley Kowalski. The significance of this event for Tennessee Williams’ work as an international phenomenon cannot be overestimated.
