Year: 2012

description: Moving from the famous essay by G.E. Lessing (Laokoon, 1766), my paper aims at applying Lessing’s distinction between poetry and painting (conceived as the art of temporality – painting – and the art of spatiality – poetry) to the couple cinema/comics. For this purpose, I analyse a particular comic book (precisely, a graphic novel), Watchmen by Alan Moore, and its recent film version directed by Zack Snyder (2009).

description: This paper examines the role of the life cycle in impacting the distribution of a combined income and wealth measure using data from the 2001 and 2006 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. Such an assessment is made using both graphical representation of the distribution of the well-being measure along with utilization of the social welfare decomposition procedure. Results show a mild yet statistically insignificant improvement in the distribution of the economic measure over the five-year period. Contribution to social welfare is found highest among the cohort where the age of the head of household is between 45 and 54 years. Targeted programs are found to enhance social welfare if they are aimed towards cohorts where the age of the head of household is younger than 35 years or where the age of the head of household is in the 35-to-44 age group, depending on whether the analysis is based on a per-farm household or on a per-capita basis.

description: I show how abundant land and scarce labor shaped African institutions before colonial rule. I present a model in which exogenous suitability of the land for agriculture and endogenously evolving population determine the existence of land rights, slavery, and polygyny. I then use cross-sectional data on pre-colonial African societies to demonstrate that, consistent with the model, the existence of land rights, slavery, and polygyny occurred in those parts of Africa that were the most suitable for agriculture, and in which population density was greatest. Next, I use the model to explain institutions among the Egba of southwestern Nigeria from 1830 to 1914. While many Egba institutions were typical of a land-abundant environment, they sold land and had disputes over it. These exceptions were the result of a period of land scarcity when the Egba first arrived at Abeokuta and of heterogeneity in the quality of land.

description: With the Waxman-Markey Bill passing the House and the Obama administration’s push to reduce carbon emissions, the likelihood of the implementation of some form of a carbon policy is increasing. This study estimates the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the six largest crops produced in Arkansas using 63 different production practices as documented by University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. From these GHG estimates a baseline state “carbon footprint” was estimated and a hypothetical cap-and-trade carbon reduction of 5, 10, and 20% was levied on Arkansas agriculture. Results show that while a modest reduction in GHG emissions (5%) would only affect crop allocations amongst certain crops while marginally reducing state net returns, a 20% reduction would cause major cropping pattern shifts with some traditional row crops nearly disappearing.

Perturbing Inputs to Prevent Model Stealing

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We show how perturbing inputs to machine learning services (ML-service) deployed in the cloud can protect against model stealing attacks. In our formulation, there is an ML-service that receives inputs from users and returns the output of the model. There is an attacker that is interested in learning the parameters of the ML-service. We use the linear and logistic regression models to illustrate how strategically adding noise to the inputs fundamentally alters the attacker's estimation problem. We show that even with infinite samples, the attacker would not be able to recover the true model parameters. We focus on characterizing the trade-off between the error in the attacker's estimate of the parameters with the error in the ML-service's output.

description: Motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we show that there is a remarkable agreement between static supergravity solutions and extrema of a field theory potential. For essentially any function V, there are boundary conditions in anti de Sitter space so that gravitational solitons exist precisely at the extrema of V and have masses given by the value of V at these extrema. Based on this, we propose new positive energy conjectures. On the field theory side, each function V can be interpreted as the effective potential for a certain operator in the dual field theory.

description: This paper examines the effect of labor organization on integrated pest management (IPM), using cross section data collected from a participatory farming system survey of 157 durian growers in Chanthaburi, Thailand, in 2005. In contrast to many studies of IPM adoption, this work uses the form of farm labor organization as an endogenous factor for identifying the rate of IPM adoption among durian growers. The instrumental variables method was employed to econometrically relate a set of alleged variables as instruments of labor organization to the rate of IPM adoption. Results show that, among others, farms employing hired labor have a significantly lower adoption rate of IPM.

In \cite{js2006}, the authors conjectured that if $ (f_n)_{n \geq 1} $ is non-degenerate, transitive and satisfies $ \lim_{n \to \infty} \mathbb{E}[C_n] = \infty$, then $ (C_n)_{n \geq 1} $ is not tight. We give an explicit example of a sequence of Boolean functions which disproves this conjecture.

description: We further explore the counter-term subtraction definition of charges (e.g., energy) for classical gravitating theories in spacetimes of relevance to gauge/gravity dualities; i.e., in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces and their kin. In particular, we show in general that charges defined via the counter-term subtraction method generate the desired asymptotic symmetries. As a result, they can differ from any other such charges, such as those defined by bulk spacetime-covariant techniques, only by a function of auxiliary non-dynamical structures such as a choice of conformal frame at infinity (i.e., a function of the boundary fields alone). Our argument is based on the Peierls bracket, and in the AdS context allows us to demonstrate the above result even for asymptotic symmetries which generate only conformal symmetries of the boundary (in the chosen conformal frame). We also generalize the counter-term subtraction construction of charges to the case in which additional non-vanishing boundary fields are present.

Conceptualising social capital : case studies of social capital inputs into housing
Creators: name: Chan, Helen G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Social capital refers to material and symbolic resources that are accessed through social relationships and used for purposive actions. Conceptualising social capital as having four archetypal forms provides planners with an analytic and heuristic tool for considering the different resources that community and government actors bring to various projects and social endeavours. These forms of social capital are called bonding social capital (based on intra-community relationships), bridging social capital (based on extra-community relationships), institutional social capital (based on relationships established by the formal and informal institutions of society) and synergistic social capital (based on relationships between state and civil society actors). This quadripartite model of social capital was found to be useful in analysing the different socially embedded resources which were applied to housing initiatives for two distinct communities of people in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. One case looked at a seniors care home established for elderly Chinese people by a community-based organisation (CBO) known as the United Chinese Community Enrichment Services Society (S.U.C.C.E.S.S.). The second case examined community housing for adults with developmental disabilities that was supported directly by family members and a CBO called Mainstream Association for Proactive Community Living (MAPCL) and indirectly by an informal group known as the Parents Support Group for Families of Mentally Handicapped Adults. In both cases, the housing initiative relied on resources that were accessed through the intra-community ties of people united by a common ethnicity or interest in supporting adults with developmental disabilities. Necessary inputs for developing and sustaining the housing initiatives were also found in extra-community ties with the wider community and internationally-based professional associations; relationships with government actors at the municipal, provincial and federal levels; and predictable societal relationships established by legislation and norms of behaviour. A four-part model of social capital additionally serves as a planning tool to identify a broader range of resources and possibilities for policy intervention and to remind planners they work with multiple publics, must adopt a critical approach to community involvement and coproduction and should encourage governments to be active in shaping the institutional environment and engaging with individuals and community groups.

That has consequences on the image of history, that Sebald seems to want to represent as a process of destruction, instead of an ascending rail.

description: Stream stars removed by tides from their progenitor satellite galaxy or globular cluster act as a group of test particles on neighboring orbits, probing the gravitational field of the Milky Way. While constraints from individual streams have been shown to be susceptible to biases, combining several streams from orbits with various distances reduces these biases. We fit a common gravitational potential to multiple stellar streams simultaneously by maximizing the clustering of the stream stars in action space. We apply this technique to members of the GD-1, Pal 5, Orphan and Helmi streams, exploiting both the individual and combined data sets. We describe the Galactic potential with a Stäckel model, and vary up to five parameters simultaneously. We find that we can only constrain the enclosed mass, and that the strongest constraints come from the GD-1, Pal 5 and Orphan streams whose combined data set yields $M(< 20\ \mathrm{kpc}) = 2.96^{+0.25}_{-0.26} \times 10^{11} \ M_{\odot}$. When including the Helmi stream in the data set, the mass uncertainty increases to $M(< 20\ \mathrm{kpc}) = 3.12^{+3.21}_{-0.46} \times 10^{11} \ M_{\odot}$.

description: Rwanda is currently in transition from a period of emergency to one of development following the 1994 war and genocide. Before the tragic events of 1994, the Agricultural Statistics Division (DSA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Resources and Forestry (MINAGRI) maintained a comprehensive database of agricultural statistics. The DSA was responsible for providing information on agricultural policy based on annual surveys of rural households. These surveys, which were interrupted in 1994 were resumed in 1999 by the Food Security Research Project (FSRP) and the DSA of MINAGRI. The resumption of these activities were aimed at updating the agricultural statistics database and improving the internal capacity of MINAGRI to collect, process, and analyse data on key food security issues and to better inform the policy-making process in ways that will contribute to the promotion of food security in Rwanda.

description: The interaction of a supernova with a circumstellar medium (CSM) can dramatically increase the emitted luminosity by converting kinetic energy to thermal energy. In 'superluminous' supernovae (SLSNe) of Type IIn -- named for narrow hydrogen lines in their spectra -- the integrated emission can reach $\sim 10^{51}$ erg, attainable by thermalising most of the kinetic energy of a conventional SN. A few transients in the centres of active galaxies have shown similar spectra and even larger energies, but are difficult to distinguish from accretion onto the supermassive black hole. Here we present a new event, SN2016aps, offset from the centre of a low-mass galaxy, that radiated $\gtrsim 5 \times 10^{51}$ erg, necessitating a hyper-energetic supernova explosion. We find a total (SN ejecta $+$ CSM) mass likely exceeding 50-100 M$_\odot$, with energy $\gtrsim 10^{52}$ erg, consistent with some models of pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) or pulsational PISNe -- theoretically-predicted thermonuclear explosions from helium cores $>50$ M$_\odot$. Independent of the explosion mechanism, this event demonstrates the existence of extremely energetic stellar explosions, detectable at very high redshifts, and provides insight into dense CSM formation in the most massive stars.

description: UniFrac is a commonly used metric in microbiome research for comparing microbiome profiles to one another ("beta diversity"). The recently implemented Striped UniFrac added the capability to split the problem into many independent subproblems and exhibits near linear scaling. In this paper we describe steps undertaken in porting and optimizing Striped Unifrac to GPUs. We reduced the run time of computing UniFrac on the published Earth Microbiome Project dataset from 13 hours on an Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPU to 12 minutes on an NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU, and to about one hour on a laptop with NVIDIA GTX 1050 (with minor loss in precision). Computing UniFrac on a larger dataset containing 113k samples reduced the run time from over one month on the CPU to less than 2 hours on the V100 and 9 hours on an NVIDIA RTX 2080TI GPU (with minor loss in precision). This was achieved by using OpenACC for generating the GPU offload code and by improving the memory access patterns. A BSD-licensed implementation is available, which produces a C shared library linkable by any programming language.

description: We combine optical morphologies and photometry from HST, redshifts from Keck, and mid-infrared luminosities from Spitzer for an optically selected sample of~800 galaxies in GOODS-N to track morphology evolution of infrared luminous galaxies (LIRGs) since redshift z=1. We find a 50% decline in the number of LIRGs from z~1 to lower redshift, in agreement with previous studies. In addition, there is evidence for a morphological evolution of the populations of LIRGs. Above z=0.5, roughly half of all LIRGs are spiral, the peculiar/irregular to spiral ratio is ~0.7, and both classes span a similar range of L_{IR} and M_B. At low-z, spirals account for one-third of LIRGs, the peculiar to spiral fraction rises to 1.3, and for a given M_B spirals tend to have lower IR luminosity than peculiars. Only a few percent of LIRGs at any redshift are red early-type galaxies. For blue galaxies (U-B < 0.2), M_B is well correlated with log(L_{IR}) with an RMS scatter (about a bivariate linear fit) of ~0.25 dex in IR luminosity. Among blue galaxies that are brighter than M_B = -21, 75% are LIRGs, regardless of redshift. These results can be explained by a scenario in which at high-z, most large spirals experience an elevated star formation rate as LIRGs. Gas consumption results in a decline of LIRGs, especially in spirals, to lower redshifts.

Narrazione e psicoanalisi. Quale modello di narrazione?
Creators: name: Pieri, Paolo Francesco
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2012

description: The essay sheds light on the centrality of fiction and narration in the pattern of psychoanalytic relationship. The passage from a medically centered clinical relation to a critical psychotherapy entails a renunciation to any presumption of a universal subjectivity. The subject of such analysis is given just by the construction of a resurgent existential texture in which the fiction and narration activity plays a prominent role.

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

description: We briefly review the improvements in the predictions of atmospheric neutrino fluxes since the NOW2000 workshop. In spite of the great progress in calculational technique the predictions are still not exact because of the uncertainties in the two major sets of input - cosmic ray flux and hadronic interactions on light nuclei.

description: The social discount rate crucially determines optimal mitigation policies. This paper examines two shortcomings of the recent debate and the models on climate change assessment. First, removing an implicit assumption of (intertemporal) risk neutrality reduces the growth effect in social discounting and significantly amplifies the importance of risk and correlation. Second, debate and models largely overlook the difference in attitude with respect to risk and with respect to non-risk uncertainty. The paper derives the resulting changes of the risk-free and the stochastic social discount rate and points out the importance of even thin tailed uncertainty for climate change evaluation.

Characterizing Adiabaticity in Quantum Many-Body Systems at Finite Temperature

description: The quantum adiabatic theorem is fundamental to time dependent quantum systems, but being able to characterize quantitatively an adiabatic evolution in many-body systems can be a challenge. This work demonstrates that the use of appropriate state and particle-density metrics is a viable method to quantitatively determine the degree of adiabaticity in the dynamic of a quantum many-body system. The method applies also to systems at finite temperature, which is important for quantum technologies and quantum thermodynamics related protocols. The importance of accounting for memory effects is discussed via comparison to results obtained by extending the quantum adiabatic criterion to finite temperatures: it is shown that this may produce false readings being quasi-Markovian by construction. As the proposed method makes it possible to characterize the degree of adiabatic evolution tracking only the system local particle densities, it is potentially applicable to both theoretical calculations of very large many-body systems and to experiments.

description: The essay has the purpose to analyze the relationship between narration and experience, from a literary point of view. Moving from the distinction between narrator and novelist, suggested by a famous essay by Walter Benjamin, the author hypothesizes that, in the peculiar case of the literature about the ‘Shoah’, the prerogatives of both the figures are able to be overlapped

Does Economic Endogeneity of Site Facilities in Recreation Demand Models Lead to Statistical Endogeneity?

description: Random Utility Models of recreation demand are widely used to relate demand and value to the characteristics of recreation sites. Although some kinds of endogeneity problems have been studied in previous literature, no study has addressed the potential problem with site characteristics that are endogenously supplied. Some site characteristics, like facilities, could be endogenous in an economic sense due to the interplay of supply and demand. That is, more popular recreation sites tend to have better site characteristics since managers with limited budgets would be more willing to invest in them. If recreation site improvements are more likely to occur at the more popular sites, then this economic endogeneity might cause problems for econometric models linking site demand to facilities. In this paper, we use Monte Carlo simulations to investigate under what situations this economic endogeneity will lead to statistical endogeneity.

description: The electronic properties of squashed arm-chair carbon nanotubes are modeled using constraint free density functional tight binding molecular dynamics simulations. Independent from CNT diameter, squashing path can be divided into {\it three} regimes. In the first regime, the nanotube deforms with negligible force. In the second one, there is significantly more resistance to squashing with the force being $\sim 40-100$ nN/per CNT unit cell. In the last regime, the CNT looses its hexagonal structure resulting in force drop-off followed by substantial force enhancement upon squashing. We compute the change in band-gap as a function of squashing and our main results are: (i) A band-gap initially opens due to interaction between atoms at the top and bottom sides of CNT. The $π-$orbital approximation is successful in modeling the band-gap opening at this stage. (ii) In the second regime of squashing, large $π-σ$ interaction at the edges becomes important, which can lead to band-gap oscillation. (iii) Contrary to a common perception, nanotubes with broken mirror symmetry can have {\it zero} band-gap. (iv) All armchair nanotubes become metallic in the third regime of squashing. Finally, we discuss both differences and similarities obtained from the tight binding and density functional approaches.

description: Fiction is first of all a pragmatico-semantic phenomenon, according to which in order to ascribe fictionality to something we must locate ourselves in a context different from a real one, so that that very something acquires a fictional meaning within this new context. Yet cognitively speaking fictionality is more than that. Fictionality involves the capacity of representing both the real world and an imaginary world, along with the metarepresentational capacity of representing to oneself that the first representation is different from the second representation.

A comparative study of two stochastic mode reduction methods

description: We present a comparative study of two methods for the reduction of the dimensionality of a system of ordinary differential equations that exhibits time-scale separation. Both methods lead to a reduced system of stochastic differential equations. The novel feature of these methods is that they allow the use, in the reduced system, of higher order terms in the resolved variables. The first method, proposed by Majda, Timofeyev and Vanden-Eijnden, is based on an asymptotic strategy developed by Kurtz. The second method is a short-memory approximation of the Mori-Zwanzig projection formalism of irreversible statistical mechanics, as proposed by Chorin, Hald and Kupferman. We present conditions under which the reduced models arising from the two methods should have similar predictive ability. We apply the two methods to test cases that satisfy these conditions. The form of the reduced models and the numerical simulations show that the two methods have similar predictive ability as expected.

description: This issue focuses on narration. In the first group of essays (Voltolini, Baldi, Ribatti, Pieri) narration is meant mostly as literary form exploring especially the fiction theme. In the second part many authors (Desideri, Mecacci, Portera, Magini) define narration as an open problem using different point of views (literature, cinema, design, art).

Guardare o toccare? Un’incertezza herderiana

Year: 2012

description: In the tradition of Western aesthetics and visual culture the practice of touching works of art has always been considered inappropriate and improper, if not dangerous: "You can watch, but do not touch" is the canonic rule in the institutionalized spaces of museums and galleries. At the same time, touching has been assimilated into the practice of looking itself, in the form of a "touching eye", a "tactile gaze" or "haptic vision". In my paper I will examine Herder's doctrine of sculpture as a crucial theoretical moment in which the oscillation between a real effective touch and a mere virtual and imaginative tactile experience of the artwork has generated a complex series of consequences for the following art theory (Riegl, Wölfflin, Berenson and others).

Threshold bounds for noisy bipartite states

description: For a nonseparable bipartite quantum state violating the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality, we evaluate amounts of noise breaking the quantum character of its statistical correlations under any generalized quantum measurements of Alice and Bob. Expressed in terms of the reduced states, these new threshold bounds can be easily calculated for any concrete bipartite state. A noisy bipartite state, satisfying the extended CHSH inequality and the perfect correlation form of the original Bell inequality for any quantum observables, neither necessarily admits a local hidden variable model nor exhibits the perfect correlation of outcomes whenever the same quantum observable is measured on both "sides".
