description: In this paper, I explore the history of Thought as atheoretical domain that has been, and still is, expressedthrough images. I survey the scientific legacy ofphotography and brain–computer interface (BCI) as ithas been expressed through culture in images, art andscience fiction. The scientific framework scaffolds thepractice-based research in which I aim to representthoughts as data into a three-dimensional (3D) digitalspace, culminating in the major body of workThoughtforms: 3D printed thoughts.The aim of the project is to visually represent andcharacterise forms of thought by recording brainwavedata captured from a mobile electroencephalograph(EEG) device. I show how thoughts, as units ofinformation, are coded and decoded, and interpretedthrough digital imaging and 3D printing. Through thisproject, I was able to collect a dataset of over 200digital thought forms which enabled me to identify andclassify “shapes” of thoughts corresponding torepresentations of mental states.My practice is positioned within a technology-drivensociety saturated with information networks, consumerdata-tracking devices and biometrics profiling systemsand the untiring determination of art and sciencecontinuing to explore the unknown.

description: Patents and scientific papers provide an essential source for measuring science and technology output, to be used as a basis for the most varied scientometric analyzes. Authors' and inventors' names are the key identifiers to carry out these analyses, which however, run up against the issue of disambiguation. By extension identifying inventors who are also academic authors is a non-trivial challenge. We propose a method using the International Patent Classification (IPC) and the IPCCAT API to assess the degree of similarity of patents and papers abstracts of a given inventor, in order to match both types of documents. The method is developed and manually qualified based on three corpora of patents extracted from the international EPO database Espacenet. Among a set of 4679 patents and 7720 inventors, we obtain 2501 authors. The proposed algorithm solves the general problem of disambiguation with an error rate lower than 5%.

description: We address binary phase-shift-keyed communication channels based on Gaussian states and prove that squeezing improves state discrimination at fixed energy of the channel, also in the presence of phase diffusion. We then assess performances of homodyne detection against the ultimate quantum limits to discrimination, and show that homodyning achieves optimality in large noise regime. Finally, we consider noise in the preparation of the seed signal (before phase encoding) and show that also in this case squeezing may improve state discrimination in realistic conditions.

description: We develop a theory of Tannakian Galois groups for t-motives and relate this to the theory of Frobenius semilinear difference equations. We show that the transcendence degree of the period matrix associated to a given t-motive is equal to the dimension of its Galois group. Using this result we prove that Carlitz logarithms of algebraic functions that are linearly independent over the rational function field are algebraically independent.

description: This paper engages with issues of the bio-image body, identifying the mechanisms by which the microscopic is understood and interacted with by a range of audi- ences. We are interested in how images are used to mediate with the biological unseen, and how the pro- cess can be used to perturb and shift imaginaries of use and transformation of matter, living or otherwise. We take a research through design approach and build the argument using two interventions made in the context of Living Ashes, a project developed by the authors and that explores semi-living matter through protocells. The first intervention produces recorded moving image of protocells, using intercutting to connect events across scales. The second intervention prompts discussion on issues of agency in generating image with/of nonhumans.
Anomalous H_2CO Absorption Towards the Galactic Anticenter: A Blind Search for Dense Molecular Clouds

description: We have carried out a blind search in the general direction of the Galactic Anticenter for absorption of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation near 4.83 GHz by molecular clouds containing gaseous ortho-formaldehyde (H_2CO). The observations were done using the 25-m radio telescope at Onsala in Sweden, and covered strips in Galactic latitude -1 < b < +1 at several longitudes in the region 170 < l < 190 . Spectra were obtained in these strips with a grid spacing corresponding to the telescope resolution of 10'. We have detected H_2CO CMB absorption at ~ 10% of the survey pointings. This detection rate is likely to increase with further improvements in sensitivity, and may become comparable to the detection rate expected from a blind CO survey with a corresponding sensitivity limit. We have mapped some of these detections in more detail and compared the H_2CO absorption to existing maps of CO(1-0) emission in the same regions. There appears to be a rough correlation between the velocity-integrated line strength of the CO(1-0) emission and that of the H_2CO absorption. However, the scatter in this correlation is significantly larger than the measurement errors, indicating differences of detail at and below the linear resolution of our observations (~ 4 - 9 pc). Although these two tracers are expected to have similar excitation requirements on the microscopic level characteristic of warm, T_K > 10K, dense, 10^3 < n < 10^5 cm^{-3} condensations in molecular clouds, the CO(1-0) line is expected to be optically thick, whereas the H_2CO line is not. This latter difference is likely to be responsible for a significant part of the scatter in the correlation we have found.

description: Axion-like particles are promising candidates to make up the dark matter of the universe, but it is challenging to design experiments that can detect them over their entire allowed mass range. Dark matter in general, and in particular axion-like particles and hidden photons, can be as light as roughly $10^{-22} \;\rm{eV}$ ($\sim 10^{-8} \;\rm{Hz}$), with astrophysical anomalies providing motivation for the lightest masses ("fuzzy dark matter"). We propose experimental techniques for direct detection of axion-like dark matter in the mass range from roughly $10^{-13} \;\rm{eV}$ ($\sim 10^2 \;\rm{Hz}$) down to the lowest possible masses. In this range, these axion-like particles act as a time-oscillating magnetic field coupling only to spin, inducing effects such as a time-oscillating torque and periodic variations in the spin-precession frequency with the frequency and direction set by fundamental physics. We show how these signals can be measured using existing experimental technology, including torsion pendulums, atomic magnetometers, and atom interferometry. These experiments demonstrate a strong discovery capability, with future iterations of these experiments capable of pushing several orders of magnitude past current astrophysical bounds.

description: We examine resonant slepton production at the LHC with gravitinos in the final state. The slepton undergoes gauge decay into a neutralino and a lepton, the neutralino decays into a photon and a gravitino. By measuring the transverse masses of the gamma- G and the l-gamma- G subsystems it is possible to accurately reconstruct both the slepton and neutralino masses. In some regions of parameter space the slepton decays directly into a lepton and gravitino, giving an identical experimental topology to W production (l missing E_T). We present the novel matrix element squared for lepton-gravitino production. A peak in the tail of the lepton-missing momentum transverse mass distribution of the W provides a signature for the process and an accurate measurement of the slepton mass. We display the search reach for the LHC and 300 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity.

description: I will discuss how art practice within a genetics laboratory can provide a situated account of scientific knowledge through a performative exploration of subjectivity. The focus of this paper is my doctoral research on my relationship with the microbial organism through its use as synthetic biology resource. Drawing source material from synthetic biology and art practices that employ biotechnology, I undertake a slow, performative practice tracing my subjective experience in the laboratory through devising a method of converting my thought into DNA and then physically inserting this DNA into the body of the common laboratory micro-organism, Escherichia coli (E. coli). Diffracted through readings of post-humanist and vital materialist works, I (re)consider my intuitive engagement with the materials, methods and tools of synthetic biology both as an imposition upon the constructed space of the laboratory and upon the constructed body of the organism. Through the ongoing art project, Pithos, a practical engagement with the organism as vessel, and Transformation, a participatory performance workshop that reconsiders genetic modification as an act of assembling lively material, I construct narratives that reframe our relation to biological material through intra-action, kinship and responsibility.

description: This paper approaches the problematics of visibility and invisibility embodied by the apparatus, which is routinely treated as a latent presence, or blind spot, within the images that it produces. Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s discussion of the blind spot in perception offers a means of reconsidering the relationship between apparatus and image. Vilém Flusser’s category of ‘technical images’ will be considered in relation to the material hermeneutics of scientific imaging articulated by Don Ihde. These approaches will be applied to key examples that include contemporary scientific imaging of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the contingent astronomy of August Strindberg’s Celestographs (1894). These examples embody particular relations between apparatus and image that shed new light on imaging practices at the intersection of science and art.

description: Nuclear archaeology research provides scientific methods to reconstruct the operating histories of fissile material production facilities to account for past fissile material production. While it has typically focused on analyzing material in permanent reactor structures, spent fuel or high-level waste also hold information about the reactor operation. In this computational study, we explore a Bayesian inference framework for reconstructing the operational history from measurements of isotope ratios from a sample of nuclear waste . We investigate two different inference models. The first model discriminates between three potential reactors of origin (Magnox, PWR, and PHWR) while simultaneously reconstructing the fuel burnup, time since irradiation, initial enrichment, and average power density. The second model reconstructs the fuel burnup and time since irradiation of two batches of waste in a mixed sample. Each of the models is applied to a set of simulated test data, and the performance is evaluated by comparing the highest posterior density regions to the corresponding parameter values of the test dataset. Both models perform well on the simulated test cases, which highlights the potential of the Bayesian inference framework and opens up avenues for further investigation

description: In this paper I present aspects of my practice-based research, which focuses upon my cross-disciplinary collaborations undertaken with particle physicists working at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). This research led to the production and exhibition of a series of audiovisual artworks that engage with the philosophical, epistemological, and material aspects of particle physics. Issues arising between theory and experimentation – in terms of observation and measurement. My inquiry into the philosophy of particle physics has been framed largely through the epistemology of quantum physicist Niels Bohr. I discuss Bohr’s insights regarding nature and apparatuses, which I frame in the concepts of technological agency developed by contemporary scientific philosopher Andrew Pickering. Through my interactions with both physicists and apparatuses, I have produced artworks which express and question the limits of, and relationships between the subatomic and macroscopic universe, and the tensions and connections between art science.

description: In this work, we present the ensemble-marginalized Kalman filter (EnMKF), a sequential algorithm analogous to our previously proposed approach [1,2], for estimating the state and parameters of linear parabolic partial differential equations in initial-boundary value problems when the boundary data are noisy. We apply EnMKF to infer the thermal properties of building walls and to estimate the corresponding heat flux from real and synthetic data. Compared with a modified Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) that is not marginalized, EnMKF reduces the bias error, avoids the collapse of the ensemble without needing to add inflation, and converges to the mean field posterior using $50\%$ or less of the ensemble size required by EnKF. According to our results, the marginalization technique in EnMKF is key to performance improvement with smaller ensembles at any fixed time.
Where Is The Brainbody In The Stories of Curation?

description: Exhibitions about brain science are not transparent environments. They are rather dissemination practices where cultural assumptions and social relations are enacted through the brainbody as a site of and for meaning-making activity. The brainbody is a term used in feminist and critical theory to consider how neurological bodies are entangled with social, political and cultural structures. As a critical tool for thinking about the situatedness of cognition and embodiments of the brain, this paper explores how the brainbody takes shape through differing mechanisms of curation, display and visitor engagement. It does this through a critically discursive analysis of three specific examples of exhibition curation: Brain: The World Inside Your Head (2001), States of Mind: Tracing the Edges of Consciousness (2015-2016) and Brain Diaries: Modern Neuroscience in Action (2017).

description: This discussion will focus on soils as more than human subjects who are both living entities and ‘lenses’ through which we may begin to rethink some of the conventional parameters of ecology, communication, and even the grounding of traditional Western ontologies on which these boundaries have stood.[1] Just as the very term “more than human” potentially exceeds the relegation of both soilogic agents and animalities to subservient status, likewise this discussion embarks from a more than humanist (“posthumanist”) position.[2] As we attempt to look at living systems and ways of being in broader, more expansive terms, it becomes possible to catch conceptual glimpses of less hierarchical ontologies as understood by some more than Western cultures. This presages dirty thinking. My collaborators and I have also drawn inspiration from artistic, theoretical, and political movements in the West that have sought to interrupt the primacy of Eurocentric humanism in institutions and philosophical arenas.
 [1] Ontologies refers here to what and how are living entities (beings) more than to the larger phenomenological field of being (existence) as a whole. [2] We use the term "animalities" rather than "animals" in this discussion to denote, as closely as we can imagine, the totality of animals, both animal bodies and their conceptual role in various philosophical traditions.

description: The (rest-frame) near-IR domain contains important stellar population diagnostics and is often used to estimate masses of galaxies at low as well as high redshifts. However, many stellar population models are still relatively poorly calibrated in this part of the spectrum. To allow an improvement of this calibration we present a new database of integrated near-infrared JHKs magnitudes for 75 star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, using the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS). The majority of the clusters in our sample have robust age and metallicity estimates from color-magnitude diagrams available in the literature, and populate a range of ages from 10 Myr to 15 Gyr and a range in [Fe/H] from -2.17 to +0.01 dex. A comparison with matched star clusters in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC) reveals that the XSC only provides a good fit to the unresolved component of the cluster stellar population. We also compare our results with the often-cited single-channel JHK photometry of Persson and collaborators, and find significant differences, especially for their 30"-diameter apertures up to ~2.5 mag in the K-band, more than 1 mag in J-K, and up to 0.5 mag in H-K. Using simulations to center apertures based on maximum light throughput (as performed by Persson et al, we show that these differences can be attributed to near-IR-bright cluster stars (e.g., Carbon stars) located away from the true center of the star clusters. The wide age and metallicity coverage of our integrated JHKs photometry sample constitutes a fundamental dataset for testing population synthesis model predictions, and for direct comparison with near-IR observations of distant stellar populations.

description: In this paper, I argue that game studies must continue to move towards a rejection of the representationalist ontologies that restrict explorations of play. I suggest we look to Karen Barad’s agential realism as a basis for new theories. In her work reality is understood as a continuous production of performative materiality [1]. This idea resonates with the continuous, looping hardware and software actions that construct videogame worlds. While Barad’s work requires a certain understanding of elements of quantum physics, when contextualised within the sphere of digital games, we can instead focus on its implications for theories of play and action. I will focus on experiences of playing Antichamber [3] and Manifold Garden [5], reading them as active engagements with materiality, as understood by Barad, that have the potential to challenge particular ontological concepts. Ultimately, this paper furthers the idea that games can function as important philosophical tools due to their role in interactive (or ‘intra-active’) phenomena, over visual or representational qualities.

We write differential equations in x=m/M for the Master Integrals of the problem, which we Laurent-expand in the regularizing continuous dimension d around d=4, and then solve exactly in x up to order (d-4)^3 included; the result is expressed in terms of Harmonic PolyLogarithms of argument x and maximum weight 7. As a by product, we obtain the x=1 value, expected to be relevant in QED 4-loop static quantities like the electron (g-2). The analytic results were checked by an independent precise numerical calculation

description: Automatically learned quality assessment for images has recently become a hot topic due to its usefulness in a wide variety of applications such as evaluating image capture pipelines, storage techniques and sharing media. Despite the subjective nature of this problem, most existing methods only predict the mean opinion score provided by datasets such as AVA [1] and TID2013 [2]. Our approach differs from others in that we predict the distribution of human opinion scores using a convolutional neural network. Our architecture also has the advantage of being significantly simpler than other methods with comparable performance. Our proposed approach relies on the success (and retraining) of proven, state-of-the-art deep object recognition networks. Our resulting network can be used to not only score images reliably and with high correlation to human perception, but also to assist with adaptation and optimization of photo editing/enhancement algorithms in a photographic pipeline. All this is done without need for a "golden" reference image, consequently allowing for single-image, semantic- and perceptually-aware, no-reference quality assessment.

description: The work presented in this article is based on observations of data collected from an empirical study conducted in urban, sub-urban and indigenous preschools with different socio-economical levels in Puebla, Mexico. The objectives of the study emerged from the idea that preschool children that have not fully developed a verbal communication, have a great capacity to express and perceive art at its most basic form; they have the sensibility to connect and interpret the basic traces and colors impressed on cave walls by humans thousands of years ago. Children used an augmented reality application to observe contents from rock art including lions, kangaroos, hands and other elements, as well as other contemporary art including varied colors and shapes. This was the third of three studies that investigated children’s visual literacy capacities, interactions, social behaviors and attitudes that emerged with the use of augmented reality technology in a school setting.

description: In many important statistical applications, the number of variables or parameters $p$ is much larger than the number of observations $n$. Suppose then that we have observations $y=Xβ+z$, where $β\in\mathbf{R}^p$ is a parameter vector of interest, $X$ is a data matrix with possibly far fewer rows than columns, $n\ll p$, and the $z_i$'s are i.i.d. $N(0,σ^2)$. Is it possible to estimate $β$ reliably based on the noisy data $y$? To estimate $β$, we introduce a new estimator--we call it the Dantzig selector--which is a solution to the $\ell_1$-regularization problem \[\min_{\tilde{\b eta}\in\mathbf{R}^p}\|\tildeβ\|_{\ell_1}\quad subject to\quad \|X^*r\|_{\ell_{\infty}}\leq(1+t^{-1})\sqrt{2\log p}\cdotσ,\] where $r$ is the residual vector $y-X\tildeβ$ and $t$ is a positive scalar. We show that if $X$ obeys a uniform uncertainty principle (with unit-normed columns) and if the true parameter vector $β$ is sufficiently sparse (which here roughly guarantees that the model is identifiable), then with very large probability, \[\|\hatβ-β\|_{\ell_2}^2\le C^2\cdot2\log p\cdot \Biggl(σ^2+\sum_i\min(β_i^2,σ^2)\Biggr).\] Our results are nonasymptotic and we give values for the constant $C$. Even though $n$ may be much smaller than $p$, our estimator achieves a loss within a logarithmic factor of the ideal mean squared error one would achieve with an oracle which would supply perfect information about which coordinates are nonzero, and which were above the noise level. In multivariate regression and from a model selection viewpoint, our result says that it is possible nearly to select the best subset of variables by solving a very simple convex program, which, in fact, can easily be recast as a convenient linear program (LP).

description: We predict the redshift distribution of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with Monte Carlo simulations. Our improved analysis constrains free parameters with three kinds of observation: (i) the log(N)-log(P) diagram of BATSE bursts; (ii) the peak energy distribution of bright BATSE bursts; (iii) the HETE2 fraction of X-ray rich GRBs and X-ray flashes. The statistical analysis of the Monte Carlo simulation results allow us to carefully study the impact of the uncertainties in the GRB intrinsic properties on the redshift distribution. The comparison with SWIFT data then leads to the following conclusions. The Amati relation should be intrinsic, if observationally confirmed by SWIFT. The progenitor and/or the GRB properties have to evolve to reproduce the high mean redshift of SWIFT bursts. Our results favor an evolution of the efficiency of GRB production by massive stars, that would be ~6-7 times higher at z~7 than at z~2. We finally predict around 10 GRBs detected by SWIFT at redshift z>6 for a three year mission. These may be sufficient to open a new observational window over the high redshift Universe.

description: The congruence of representation and reality has been constructed as an accepted necessity within the evolution and adaption of human cognition where it functions as a key feature of human survival within the material real. However, the adventure of contemporary science has questioned whether human cognition is even capable of exploring the complex traces of the deep structure of reality. If as has been speculated by Quentin Meillassoux in his rereading of Henri Bergson perception itself is a double limit based on both a biological process of filtering the stream of particles and a cognitive process of selectivity then our phenomenological apprehension of the real is one of poverty not dominance. This limit not only repurposes our relation to materiality within the multiplicity of reality but implies a limit to the human structure of thinking. If the structure of human interiority is exactly composed of our limited experience of an exteriority then the possibility arises that the structure of reality itself gives rise to or even creates the structure of human thinking. At the pragmatic level the structure of human thought derives from an ideal structure of physical reality and is capable of an imaginary metaphysics of infinite speed, unlimited by the mere physical constraints of light or gravity and redolent of a dynamism unconstrained by the human sensory apparatus. These questions have emerged simultaneously this century within the realisation that it is an unsupported assumption that the biologically determined human conception of reality does not mean that reality has achieved its apex in human consciousness. In freeing the sensory conception of thought from that definition, the specter of mathematical ideation and schematic artistic conception assumes a primacy in the new representations of reality that exist beyond both the real and the imaginary and are conceived within a speculative possibility of new forms conceived without the aid of the senses. This paper seeks to address these concerns as they are made manifest within new and emerging practices in Art and Design.

description: The Volca project is a speculative photography research project that is in parts a proposal, a sensory experiment and also continual work in progress. Volca is an experimental camera apparatus for recording what Flusser [7, 8] would term ’technical images’, that is, images produced by machines or technical processes. It’s design is to deliberately open the discussion of what it is to be photographer, or collaborator or even facilitator of a complex apparatus with a discrete system at it’s core. A system that extends beyond the physical body of the device and reaches into the heart of our human culture of creation, consumption, reflection, storytelling and the active shaping of our identity and self image. The Camera is seen as a collaborative apparatus, as the camera has ’possibility’ encoded into it. The photographer or ’facilitator’ of the apparatus selects one of these possibilities in a collaborative process with the apparatus, and the program of image production encoded within it. The project has several separate aspects dealing with hardware, software, interaction design and media and photographic theory. The making, distribution, display and consumption of these new speculative photographs is a vital part of the investigation of what can be considered the system of photography. A system where camera and photographer are only a small part of the philosophical whole. This paper and the body of work it describes is aimed at a discussion of what it is to engage with speculative design and what the notion of speculative photography may be.

description: The essential, conserved yeast nucleolar protein Ytm1 is one of 17 proteins in ribosome assembly intermediates that contain WD40 protein-protein interaction motifs. Such proteins may play key roles in organizing other molecules necessary for ribosome biogenesis. Ytm1 is present in four consecutive 66S preribosomes containing 27SA2, 27SA3, 27SB, and 25.5S plus 7S pre-rRNAs plus ribosome assembly factors and ribosomal proteins. Ytm1 binds directly to Erb1 and is present in a heterotrimeric subcomplex together with Erb1 and Nop7, both within preribosomes and independently of preribosomes. However, Nop7 and Erb1 assemble into preribosomes prior to Ytm1. Mutations in the WD40 motifs of Ytm1 disrupt binding to Erb1, destabilize the heterotrimer, and delay pre-rRNA processing and nuclear export of preribosomes. Nevertheless, 66S preribosomes lacking Ytm1 remain otherwise intact.

description: This lightning talk paper discusses an initial data set that has been gathered to understand the use of software in research, and is intended to spark wider interest in gathering more data. The initial data analyzes three months of articles in the journal Nature for software mentions. The wider activity that we seek is a community effort to analyze a wider set of articles, including both a longer timespan of Nature articles as well as articles in other journals. Such a collection of data could be used to understand how the role of software has changed over time and how it varies across fields.

description: A precise evaluation of the secondary particle production and propagation in the atmosphere is very important for the atmospheric neutrino oscillation studies. The issue is addressed with the extension of a previously developed full 3-Dimensional Monte-Carlo simulation of particle generation and transport in the atmosphere, to compute the flux of secondary protons, muons and neutrinos. Recent balloon borne experiments have performed a set of accurate flux measurements for different particle species at different altitudes in the atmosphere, which can be used to test the calculations for the atmospheric neutrino production, and constrain the underlying hadronic models. The simulation results are reported and compared with the latest flux measurements. It is shown that the level of precision reached by these experiments could be used to constrain the nuclear models used in the simulation. The implication of these results for the atmospheric neutrino flux calculation are discussed.

description: In the discrete modeling approach for hybrid control systems, the continuous plant is reduced to a discrete event approximation, called the DES-plant, that is governed by a discrete event system, representing the controller. The observability of the DES-plant model is crucial for the synthesis of the controller and for the proper closed loop evolution of the hybrid control system. Based on a version of the framework for hybrid control systems proposed by Antsaklis, the paper analysis the relation between the properties of the cellular space of the continuous plant and a mechanism of plant-symbols generation, on one side, and the observability of the DES-plant automaton on the other side. Finally an observable discrete event abstraction of the continuous double integrator is presented.

Beth-Uhlenbeck approach for repulsive interactions between baryons in a hadron gas

description: The quantum mechanical Beth-Uhlenbeck (BU) approach for repulsive hard-core interactions between baryons is applied to the thermodynamics of a hadron gas. The second virial coefficient $a_2$ -- the "excluded volume" parameter -- calculated within the BU approach is found to be temperature dependent, and it differs dramatically from the classical excluded volume (EV) model result. At temperatures $T =100-200$ MeV, the widely used classical EV model underestimates the EV parameter for nucleons at a given value of the nucleon hard-core radius by large factors of 3-4. Previous studies, which employed the hard-core radii of hadrons as an input into the classical EV model, have to be re-evaluated using the appropriately rescaled EV parameters. The BU approach is used to model the repulsive baryonic interactions in the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model. Lattice data for the second and fourth order net baryon susceptibilities are described fairly well when the temperature dependent BU baryonic excluded volume parameter corresponds to nucleon hard-core radii of $r_c = 0.25-0.3$ fm. Role of the attractive baryonic interactions is also considered. It is argued that HRG model with a constant baryon-baryon EV parameter $v_{NN} \simeq 1$ fm$^3$ provides a simple yet efficient description of baryon-baryon interaction in the crossover temperature region.
