description: Absorption of elastic waves in complex media is commonly found to increase linearly with frequency, for both longitudinal and shear waves. This ubiquitous property is observed in media such as rocks, unconsolidated sediments, and human tissue. Absorption is due to relaxation processes at the level of atomic scales and up to the sub-micron scale of biological materials. The effect of these processes is usually expressed as an integral over relaxation frequencies or relaxation times. Here we argue that these processes are thermally activated. Unusual for ultrasonics and seismics, we can therefore transform the expression for absorption from the frequency or time domains to an integral over an activation energy landscape weighted by an energy distribution. The universal power-law property surprisingly corresponds to a flat activation energy landscape. This is the solution which maximizes entropy or randomness. Therefore the linearly increasing absorption corresponds to the energy landscape with the fewest possible constraints.

description: Derek Jarman used cinema as a tool of political subversion during an era of Thatcherite repression. His re-interpretations of history and dystopic visions of the present, as well as his insistence on the worth and validity of queer lives, ran directly counter to the hostile, homogenizing forces of New Right Conservatism. He was able to achieve this through a radical re-imagination of how time and history can be represented onscreen. Throughout his wide-ranging oeuvre, Jarman played the role of time-traveler, knocking time out of joint to examine the echoes between disparate eras. While he is often described as an iconoclast, contemporary criticism of his work tends to attribute that rebellious spirit to the more graphic, erotic, or provocative imagery in his films. Of course, those scraps of dissent are surprising and often challenging, but the kernel of his defiance lies in his experimental treatment of time. At the core of this thesis is the argument that Jarman’s disregard for the linear timeline was his boldest iconoclasm.

description: [Abridged] Recent studies revealed a strong correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass of star-forming galaxies, the so-called star-forming main sequence. An empirical modeling approach (2-SFM) which distinguishes between the main sequence and rarer starburst galaxies is capable of reproducing most statistical properties of infrared galaxies. In this paper, we extend this approach by establishing a connection between stellar mass and halo mass with the technique of abundance matching. Based on a few, simple assumptions and a physically motivated formalism, our model successfully predicts the (cross-)power spectra of the cosmic infrared background (CIB), the cross-correlation between CIB and cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing, and the correlation functions of bright, resolved infrared galaxies measured by Herschel, Planck, ACT and SPT. We use this model to infer the redshift distribution these observables, as well as the level of correlation between CIB-anisotropies at different wavelengths. We also predict that more than 90% of cosmic star formation activity occurs in halos with masses between 10^11.5 and 10^13.5 Msun. Taking into account subsequent mass growth of halos, this implies that the majority of stars were initially (at z>3) formed in the progenitors of clusters, then in groups at 0.5

description: In Deutschland erhielten ungefähr 30.000 Afghan:innen keinen Schutzstatus, und sie wurden als ausreisepflichtig eingestuft. Von ihnen sind in den letzten vier Jahren, in denen Sammelabschiebungen mittels Charterflügen vollzogen wurden, tatsächlich nur etwas mehr als 1000 Menschen tatsächlich außer Landes gebracht worden – und das zu außerordentlichen Kosten. Für alle, die als abschiebefähig kategorisiert wurden, waren Abschiebungen ein ständiger Quell der Angst und Verunsicherung – niemand wusste, ob er oder sie als Nächste:r an der Reihe wäre.Dieser Artikel beschreibt die politischen Hintergründe der Abschiebungen nach Afghanistan aus Deutschland insbesondere für die Jahre 2016 und 2021. Er vertritt die These, dass Abschiebungen ein wesentliches Element des „Grenzspektakels“ (De Genova 2013) darstellen, mit dem ein Drama der Ausschließung inszeniert wird, das die nationale Existenzordnung bestätigt. Aus dieser Sicht ist der größere Rahmen, in dem das Abschiebespektakel stattfindet, die deutsche Biopolitik: Biopolitik ist nach Foucault die Politik, die über das „Leben-Machen und Sterben-Lassen“ entscheidet. Biopolitische Perspektiven legen den Fokus zumeist auf das „Leben-Machen“. Abschiebungen jedoch sind meiner Ansicht nach die unvermeidliche dunkle Seite der Biopolitik, auf die Foucault hingewiesen hat: das Sterbenlasse

description: Scanning tunneling microscope induced light emission from an atomic or molecular junction has been probed from the tunneling to contact regime in recent experiments. There, the intensity of the light emission shows strong correlation with the current/charge fluctuations at optical frequencies. We show that this is consistent with the established theory in the tunneling regime, by writing the finite-frequency shot noise as a sum of inelastic transitions between different electronic states. Based on this, we develop a practical scheme to perform calculations on realistic structures using Green's functions. The photon emission yields obtained re-produce the essential feature of the experiments.

description: We present new and stronger evidence for a previously reported relationship between galactic spiral arm pitch angle P (a measure of the tightness of spiral structure) and the mass M_BH of a disk galaxy's nuclear supermassive black hole (SMBH). We use an improved method to accurately measure the spiral arm pitch angle in disk galaxies to generate quantitative data on this morphological feature for 34 galaxies with directly measured black hole masses. We find a relation of log(M/M_sun) = (8.21 +/- 0.16) - (0.062 +/- 0.009)P. This method is compared with other means of estimating black hole mass to determine its effectiveness and usefulness relative to other existing relations. We argue that such a relationship is predicted by leading theories of spiral structure in disk galaxies, including the density wave theory. We propose this relationship as a tool for estimating SMBH masses in disk galaxies. This tool is potentially superior when compared to other methods for this class of galaxy and has the advantage of being unambiguously measurable from imaging data alone.

The $q_{\mathrm{T}}$ and $Δϕ_{t\bar{t}}$ spectra in top-antitop hadroproduction at NNLL+NNLO: the interplay of soft-collinear resummation and Coulomb singularities

description: In this paper, we present the resummation-improved differential transverse momentum and azimuthal decorrelation cross sections, $dσ_{t\bar{t}}/dq_{\mathrm{T}}$ and $dσ_{t\bar{t}}/dΔϕ_{t\bar{t}}$, in top-antitop pair production at the LHC. Our calculation is based on the observation that both cross sections are dominated by topologies where the top-quark pair is well separated, expressed in their relative velocity $β_{t\bar{t}}\sim\mathcal{O}(1)$, at colliding energies of $\sqrt{s}=13\,\text{TeV}$ or higher. Therefore, the asymptotic behaviour in the limits $q_{\mathrm{T}}\to0$ and $Δϕ_{t\bar{t}}\to0$ can mostly be captured by the soft and collinear resummation in the HQET$+$SCET framework. Nevertheless, starting at NNLL, Coulomb singularities emerge in the threshold regime, $β_{t\bar{t}}\to0$, in both the hard sector and its evolution kernels, leading to unphysical results upon integration over the entire $β_{t\bar{t}}$ range. To this end, two prescriptions, dubbed the D- and R-prescription, are introduced to regularise these Coulomb singularities. They embody two fundamentally different methods to truncate the threshold enhanced terms, rendering their contribution finite. In the absence of a combined threshold and small-transverse-momentum resummation, we present a quantitative assessment of the ambiguity introduced by the choice of prescription, itself a test of the sensitivity of our calculation to such threshold enhancements, for both the $dσ_{t\bar{t}}/dq_{\mathrm{T}}$ and $dσ_{t\bar{t}}/dΔϕ_{t\bar{t}}$ spectra.
Improved convergence of chiral effective field theory for 1S0 of NN scattering

description: It is argued that the fine-tuning due to the unnaturally large, generalized effective range in the 1S0 channel of NN scattering must be incorporated in order for one to obtain satisfactory convergence for chiral effective field theory. Without the proposition of perturbative one-pion exchange, an effective field theory with the spin-0, isospin-1 dibaryon is developed to account for this fine-tuning, and is demonstrated up to O(Q) where the leading irreducible two-pion exchange arises. The approach shown in the paper results in rapid convergence of the 1S0 partial-wave amplitude.

description: Quantum interference effects play a vital role in shaping the linear polarization profiles of solar spectral lines. The Ba II D2 line at 4554 A is a prominent example, where the F-state interference effects due to the odd isotopes produce polarization profiles, which are very different from those of the even isotopes that have no F-state interference. It is therefore necessary to account for the contributions from the different isotopes to understand the observed linear polarization profiles of this line. Here we do radiative transfer modeling with partial frequency redistribution (PRD) of such observations while accounting for the interference effects and isotope composition. The Ba II D2 polarization profile is found to be strongly governed by the PRD mechanism. We show how a full PRD treatment succeeds in reproducing the observations, while complete frequency redistribution (CRD) alone fails to produce polarization profiles that have any resemblance with the observed ones. However, we also find that the line center polarization is sensitive to the temperature structure of the model atmosphere. To obtain a good fit to the line center peak of the observed Stokes Q/I profile, a small modification of the FALX model atmosphere is needed, by lowering the temperature in the line-forming layers. Because of the pronounced temperature sensitivity of the Ba II D2 line it may not be a suitable tool for Hanle magnetic-field diagnostics of the solar chromosphere, because there is currently no straightforward way to separate the temperature and magnetic-field effects from each other.

description: NOTE:  Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...].  Abstract is included in .pdf document.

This thesis is a report on the results of an experimental investigation into the effects of cyclic heating and cooling prior to testing on the tensile and creep properties of aluminum alloy 75S-T6 Alclad sheet. A similar investigation concerning magnesium alloy sheet is described by J. N. Lindsley in Reference 1.

Specimens of 75S-T6 Alclad sheet were cyclically heated in an electric oven to either 250 [degrees] F or 550 [degrees] F and cooled to 100 [degrees] F. All specimens remained at elevated temperature an aggregate of 60 minutes , with the number of cycles during the hour varying from one to twenty.  Tensile tests and short time creep tests (6 minutes) were performed at room temperature and at the temperature of heat treatment.

It was found that at room and elevated temperatures the modulus of elasticity and 0.2 per cent yield strength were essentially independent of the number of heating cycles, as were the minimum creep rates at room temperature and at 250 [degrees] F. The minimum creep rate at 550 [degrees] F increased exponentially with the number of cycles.  Specimens heat treated at 550 [degrees] F and creep tested at room temperature showed practically no creep at any stress in six minutes.

Without regard to the cycling, the 0.2 per cent yield strength at room temperature was relatively unaffected by the 250 [degree] F heat treatment, but was reduced by a factor of four or more by the 550 [degree] F heat treatment. The modulus of elasticity at room temperature after either heat treatment remained very near the value for the untreated material at room temperature. Values from test conducted at elevated temperatures have been given in reports of previous investigations.

description: The Robertson model describing a chemical reaction involving three reactants is one of the classical examples of stiffness in ODEs. The stiffness is caused by the occurrence of three reaction rates $k_1,\,k_2$, and $k_3$, with largely differing orders of magnitude, acting as parameters. The model has been widely used as a numerical test problem. Surprisingly, no asymptotic analysis of this multiscale problem seems to exist. In this paper we provide a full asymptotic analysis of the Robertson model under the assumption $k_1, k_3 \ll k_2$. We rewrite the equations as a two-parameter singular perturbation problem in the rescaled small parameters $(\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2):=(k_1/k_2,k_3/k_2)$, which we then analyze using geometric singular perturbation theory (GSPT). To deal with the multi-parameter singular structure, we perform blow-ups in parameter- and variable space. We identify four distinct regimes in a neighbourhood of the singular limit $(\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2)= (0,0)$. Within these four regimes we use GSPT and additional blow-ups to analyze the dynamics and the structure of solutions. Our asymptotic results are in excellent qualitative and quantitative agreement with the numerics.

description: This report puts President Biden’s proposed infrastructure bill in the context of other Democratic proposals for industrial policy coming from Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and others and of Republican proposals for industrial policy emanating from Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and others. For the left, we defined eight categories of opinion leaders. Four involved political leaders: the Biden campaign and administration; Sen. Bernie Sanders; Sen. Elizabeth Warren; and other Democratic Congress members submitting legislative bills and resolutions that advocated one or another form of industrial policy. These other members included Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Edward Markey, Sen. Charles Schumer, Sen. Chris Coons, Sen. Jeff Merkley, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Tim Ryan, and others. We also defined four categories of thinktanks or policy organizations that have advanced left-oriented industrial policy: the Brookings Institution; the Century Foundation; labor-oriented thinktanks (Economic Policy Institute and Alliance for American Manufacturing); and the Roosevelt Institute. For the right, we defined seven categories of opinion leaders. Four involved political leaders: . Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Josh Hawley, and Sen. Tom Cotton, and other Republican Congress members leaders (including Sen. Todd Young, Sen. John Cornyn, and others) espousing industrial policy beliefs in the form of legislation and resolutions sponsored. We also had three categories of think tanks and policy organizations that have come out in favor of a conservative version of industrial policy: American Compass; American Affairs; and the Niskanen Center. The report compares and contrasts the Democratic and Republican proposals on three heads: the problems they say call for industrial policy; the nature of the policy solutions offered; and the main targets they envision for such policy solutions. On all three, we find considerable convergences but also sizable divergences between the Democratic vision for industrial policy on the one hand and the Republican vision on the other. The report argues that the Democratic vision for industrial policy – with its emphasis on creating good jobs in the process of addressing climate change -- may be crucial to Democratic chances in 2022 and 2024 by allowing Democrats to successfully appeal to two key constituencies: voters concerned with climate change and working-class voters concerned about good jobs both for themselves and their children. However, Democratic chances could be enhanced if their industrial policy proposals can effectively counter and even coopt distinctive and popular elements of the Republican proposals, particularly their attention to the challenge posed by China and to popular concern about loss of community and meaningful work.

description: Hattori-Itakura have recently derived the full Landau-level summation form for the photon vacuum polarization tensor in constant external magnetic fields at the one-loop level. The Landau-level summation form is essential when the photon momentum exceeds the threshold of the pair creation of charged particles in a magnetic field stronger than the squared mass of the charged particle. The tensor has three different form factors depending on the tensor direction with respect to the external magnetic field. The renormalization is nontrivial because these form factors are expressed in terms of double or triple summation forms. We give a numerical UV subtraction method which can be applied to numerically evaluate the form factors in constant external magnetic fields. We numerically investigate the photon vacuum polarization tensor in the form of the Landau-level summation and estimate the systematic errors coming from truncation of the Landau-level summation in a parameter region realized in heavy ion collision experiments. We find that the error is practically controllable at an $O(10^{-2})$ level for electrons and muons in strong magnetic fields expected in heavy ion collisions in the experimentally feasible kinematic parameter regions.

description: An inflationary model in the framework of noncommutative space-time may generate a nontrivial running of the scalar spectral index, but usually induces a large tensor-to-scalar ratio simultaneously. With the latest observational data from the Planck mission, we reexamine the inflationary scenarios in a noncommutative space-time. We find that either the running of the spectral index is tiny compared with the recent observational result, or the tensor-to-scalar ratio is too large to allow a sufficient number of $e$-folds. As examples, we show that the chaotic and power-law inflation models with the noncommutative effects are not favored by the current Planck data.

description: In the recent past, several groups of members of Congress have chosen to live together as roommates in shared part-time homes. In this undergraduate honors thesis, I investigate whether these residential relationships have an impact on the lawmakers’ rates of collaboration with one another. Theoretically, roommates will collaborate with one another more because of greater proximity, mutual self-interest, and altruism. This paper tracks two case studies qualitatively and quantitatively, using news coverage, research interviews with former members of Congress, probit regression analysis, and a difference-in-differences quasi-experiment to find significant support for a substantial “roommate effect” independent of a range of controls including ideology and party.

description: Quantum pumping in graphene has been predicted in recent years. Till date there have been no experiments indicating a graphene based quantum pump. This is not uncommon as in case of other non-Dirac behavior showing materials it has not yet been unambiguously experimentally detected. The reason being that in experiments with such materials the rectification effect overshadows the pumped current. In this work we answer the question posed in the title by taking recourse to "strain". We show that the symmetries of the rectified and pumped currents towards strain reversal can effectively distinguish between the two.

description: Reiwa, the name of the new Japanese era, is interpreted as a harmony of three perspectives, which have in common various aesthetical functions of sexuality. In section 1, the historical context of the formulation of the name is presented as an encounter of poetry and sexualized cosmogony. Section 2 offers systematic insights into the symbolic effects of sexuality as unity of elements from Shintoism & Taoism. Finally, the discussion of a dialectical perspective contributes in shaping a new interpretation of Reiwa, resting upon sexuality as an experience of creative and beautiful harmony.

description: Transmission spectra of H₂O+CO₂ mixtures have been recorded, at 296, 325 and 366 K, for various pressures and mixture compositions using two experimental setups. Their analysis enables to retrieve values of the “continuum” absorption by the CO₂-broadened H2₂O line wings between 100 and 1500 cm-1. The results are in good agreement with those, around 1300 cm-1, of the single previous experimental study available. Comparisons are also made with direct predictions based on line-shape correction factors χ calculated, almost thirty years ago, using a quasistatic approach and an input H₂O—CO₂ intermolecular potential. They show that this model quite nicely predicts, with slightly overestimated values, the continuum over a spectral range where it varies by more than three orders of magnitude. An empirical correction is proposed, based on the experimental data, which should be useful for radiative transfer and climate studies in CO2 rich planetary atmospheres.

description: Matsumoto Toshio’s avant-garde documentary Funeral Parade of Roses (bara no sōretsu) depicts life in Shinjuku’s 1960s underground culture. Using Sakabe Megumi’s hermeneutical theory, the film’s depiction of sexuality is analysed through its use of literal and figurative mirrors and masks. It is argued that sexuality is highly performative and that the film itself is structured like a play of mirrors, questioning the nature of reality by deferring hypostasis ad infinitum.

description: We study the boundary Majorana modes for the single component p-wave weak topological superconductors or superfluids, which form zero energy flat bands protected by time-reversal symmetry in the orbital channel. However, due to the divergence of density of states, the band flatness of the edge Majorana modes is unstable under spontaneously generated spatial variations of Cooper pairing phases. Staggered current loops appear near the boundary and thus time-reversal symmetry is spontaneously broken in the orbital channel. This effect can appear in both condensed matter and ultra-cold atom systems.

description: Background: The prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm is high in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) population. Emphysema involves proteolytic destruction of elastic fibers. Therefore, emphysema may also contribute to thoracic aorta dilatation. This study assessed aorta dilation in smokers stratified by presence of COPD, emphysema and airway thickening. Methods: Aorta diameters were measured on 3D magnetic resonance angiography in smokers recruited from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), the Emphysema and Cancer Action Project (EMCAP), and the local community. COPD was defined by standard spirometric criteria; emphysema was measured quantitatively on computed tomography and bronchitis was determined from medical history. Results: Participants (n = 315, age 58–79) included 150 with COPD and 165 without COPD, of whom 56% and 19%, respectively, had emphysema. Subjects in the most severe quartile of emphysematous change showed the largest diameter at all four aorta locations compared to those in the least severe quartiles (all p < 0.001). Comparing subjectswith andwithout COPD, aorta diameters were larger in participantswith severe COPD in ascending and arch (both p < 0.001), and abdominal aorta (p = 0.001). Chronic bronchitis and bronchial wall thickness did not correlate with aorta diameter. In subjects with emphysema, subjects with coexistence of COPD showed larger aorta than those without COPD in ascending (p=0.003), arch (p=0.002), and abdominal aorta (p=0.04). Conclusions: This study showed larger aorta diameter in subjects with COPD and severe emphysema.

description: We study a recently proposed scenario for the early universe: Subluminal Galilean Genesis. We prove that without any other matter present in the spatially flat Friedmann universe, the perturbations of the Galileon scalar field propagate with a speed at most equal to the speed of light. This proof applies to all cosmological solutions -- to the whole phase space. However, in a more realistic situation, when one includes any matter which is not directly coupled to the Galileon, there always exists a region of phase space where these perturbations propagate superluminally, indeed with arbitrarily high speed. We illustrate our analytic proof with numerical computations. We discuss the implications of this result for the possible UV completion of the model.

The Health Consequences of Policing for People Who Use Drugs
Creators: name: Atlas, Sara
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Crisis intervention (Mental health services)
Substance abuse
Drug control
Harm reduction
Police

description: Although drug prohibition was a direct result of racism and xenophobia, the United States maintains the view that punishment and criminalization are the solution to substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs). As a result, communities of color are hyper-policed and experience disproportionate brutality, particularly for individuals who use drugs. Policing is not only associated with worse health outcomes, but actively hinders people who use drugs from accessing overdose prevention resources and other harm reduction services. Crisis intervention teams aim to improve interactions between people experiencing crises and the police, but there are mixed results regarding their efficacy. Furthermore, they do not fundamentally address the root causes of substance use, nor do they acknowledge the negative effects of policing on the health of this group. Ultimately, involving the police in crisis intervention reinforces the punitive system that is maintained through brutality and incarceration, neither of which come from a health-oriented framework. To maximize the health, safety, and dignity of people who use drugs, it is necessary to re-evaluate the need for police to serve as the default first responders for behavioral health and substance use crises. This narrative review explores the relationship between the war on drugs, policing, and the health of the policed, and recommends the expansion of crisis intervention models that do not involve the police.

Lo que vino después (sobre los diarios de Ricardo Piglia)
Creators: name: Montaldo, Graciela Raquel
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Latin American literature
Latin American literature--Social aspects

description: El propósito de este trabajo es explorar la conformación de una nueva idea de literatura en la cultura latinoamericana de los años setenta tomando como material primario los tres volúmenes de Los diarios de Emilio Renzi de Ricardo Piglia. La literatura fue una práctica ligada a la tradición elitista pero aún estaba cargada de promesas emancipatorias y fue repolitizada por los jóvenes del post-boom. Piglia tuvo un lugar central en esa redefinición. La edición de sus diarios muestra la exploración del propio Piglia sobre las nuevas posibilidades de la literatura, sobre las ideas de obra, autor, vanguardia. Se interrogan por la práctica de la literatura en el momento en que se está produciendo un cambio radical en su concepción.
The Construction of Dual-trace Factor in Yang-Mills Theory

description: Recently, a BCJ dual of the color-ordered formula for Yang-Mills amplitude was proposed, where the dual-trace factor satisfies cyclic symmetry and KK-relation. In this paper, we present a systematic construction of the dual-trace factor based on its proposed relations to kinematic numerators in dual-DDM form. We show that the construction presented respects relabeling symmetry. In addition, we show that using relabeling symmetry as conditions, the same construction can be solved independently.

An investigation of the interference effects of a sting support system on the pressure distribution over a body of revolution
Creators: name: Schurmeier, Harris M.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1949
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: The pressure distribution over a body of revolution was measured, both with and without a sting, or sting and simulated sting-support structure, present. The investigation was carried out in a wind tunnel at a low speed.

The results indicated that the changes in the pressure distribution over the body were small if the sting diameter was half the base diameter and the sting made reasonably long. The effects of the sting and sting-support structure were felt only over the aft 20 percent of the body and were such as to increase the pressure in all cases investigated.
Modularity as one principle in sustainable technology design – a design case study on ICT

description: Within design of information and communication technology (ICT) we need to first shape and then follow a vision to take responsibility for the futures that design materializes. Although research and literature on both sustainable technology and sustainable interaction design grow significantly, both fields with their (im)material character, are less often thought together and seen as mutually shaping. Hence, this paper examines the state-of-the-art in modularity as one sustainable design principle for the mobile phone and related ICT, utilizing a review of design (concept) cases in form of their multimedia representations. Matching the findings from the concrete exemplars with generic scientific research results within modular designing informs a discussion on value preservation (promotion of reuse over recycling and the like), portraying nowadays insufficiencies on the one hand and desirable, meaningful futures on the other. It describes both the employment of and the confidence in modularity for accomplishing sustainability, digital materiality or the soft matter, and the demandingness of modularly upgradable architectures. Supposedly by help of the critical design practice in an academic context - which translates to fundamental creativity-based research driven by envisioning new possibilities - further research shall build on the insights gained here. Our vision may thus be called sustainable technology and interaction design, which as an acronym gives STaID.
title: Dolls and Octopuses. The (In)human Sexuality of Mari Katayama
Creators: name: Kubiński, Grzegorz
Publisher: name: The Polish Journal of Aesthetics
Year: 2019

description: Japan is very often seen as a country of ambiguities and contradictions. The latest technology meets tradition here. In the popular culture of the West, Japan is also perceived as a disturbingly sensual country. This article is an attempt to combine elements such as Western technology and eastern sexuality based on the work of contemporary artist Mari Katayama. A number of proposals are presented how to interpret Katayama’s work as a reinterpretation of sociosexual and bodily as well as corporeal norms of the past and present, and of the West and of the East.

Arbitrary vector beam generation in semiconductor quantum dots

description: We have proposed an arbitrary vector beam (VB) generation scheme in a thin disk-shaped quantum dot (QD) medium considering phonon interaction. The QD biexciton system exhibits interplay between first and third-order nonlinear susceptibility between two orthogonal circular polarisation transitions. Three QD transitions are coupled with one applied weak and two strong control orbital angular momentum (OAM) carrying fields. Therefore, the applied field experiences absorption, and a new field with the desired OAM is generated via four-wave mixing (FWM). These two orthogonal field superpositions produce VB at the QD medium end. We have also demonstrated the polarization rotation of a VB by changing only the relative control field phase. Additionally, we have analyzed the effect of temperature on the VB generation.

Universal Healthcare: A Path to Health Equity in the United States
Creators: name: Gruberg, Julia
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2021
Subjects: National health insurance
Racism
Medical policy
Health--Social aspects
Social status

description: Health equity and social determinants of health are important concepts to understand when forming health policy in the United States. Health equity refers to a state of health and wellbeing that is not differentiated between groups based on marginalized status or history of oppression. Social determinants of health, perhaps more correctly called structural determinants of health, provide a framework for understanding how race and racism, socioeconomic status (SES), gender and sexuality, and other societal (as opposed to biological) factors influence health and the unequal burden of disease. Vast health disparities between Black and White Americans have been widely reported, although the link between health status and racism is not as commonly articulated. An abundance of studies have linked health insurance status to improved physical and mental health. While universal health insurance cannot overcome racism as a fundamental cause of health disparities, it would ameliorate the effects of living in a profoundly racist society. In order to advance health equity in the United States, legislators should make health insurance free and accessible to all.
