description: Video games are challenging objects to preserve for a variety of reasons, but their value is increasingly becoming apparent to cultural heritage institutions. This study describes interviews conducted with digital preservationists at Carnegie Mellon University, the Computer History Museum, the Library of Congress, Stanford University, and The Strong National Museum of Play to determine how they define meaningful preservation of video games and what they feel are the greatest challenges to achieving this level of preservation.The obstacles the interviewees most frequently identified were laws that make it illegal to perform preservation activities without permission from copyright owners, difficulties obtaining this permission, and insufficient resources to preserve a vast amount of deteriorating media. The study concludes with interviewees’ ideas for how to overcome these problems and calls for further research on how to make video game preservation successful and scalable.

The Consumer Society and the (False) Myth of Mass Democratisation
Creators: name: Marchetti, Maria Cristina
Publisher: name: QuiEdit

Subjects: Baudrillard, consumer society, mass society

description: About fifty years from its first publication in 1970, La société de consommation. Ses mythes ses structures (Paris Denoël) confirms itself as a lucid analysis of the meanings at the basis of the consumption dynamics within contemporary society.

In what he calls the ‘mystique of equality’, the concept of needs is linked to that of well-being, triggering the illusion that the increase in total amount of goods an individual can possess automatically translates into a levelling of society and in total well-being for all. According to Baudrillard, this approach does not take due account of the social logic of consumption, at which level the differentiation process for the retention of social distances is reiterated. Thus, according to Baudrillard, a mechanism that powers social differences survives through a consumerist ideology disguised as egalitarianism.

Hence, Baudrillard distances himself from Marx and from the concept of value in use, understanding that at the base of mature capitalism does not lie production (and thus the dialectic of capital/labour force), but consumption.
Years later, the system of consumption presents itself unchanged, to the extent that in some respects the postmodern aesthetics has actually exasperated its characteristics, blending the needs of production with an individual differentiation process that seems incapable of finding other ways of expression.

description: The particle discovered in the Higgs boson searches at the LHC with a mass of about 125 GeV can be identified with one of the neutral Higgs bosons of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). We calculate predictions for the Higgs-boson masses in the NMSSM using the Feynman-diagrammatic approach. The predictions are based on the full NMSSM one-loop corrections supplemented with the dominant and sub-dominant two-loop corrections within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). These include contributions at $\mathcal{O}{\left(α_t α_s, α_b α_s, α_t^2,α_tα_b\right)}$, as well as a resummation of leading and subleading logarithms from the top/scalar top sector. Taking these corrections into account in the prediction for the mass of the Higgs boson in the NMSSM that is identified with the observed signal is crucial in order to reach a precision at a similar level as in the MSSM. The quality of the approximation made at the two-loop level is analysed on the basis of the full one-loop result, with a particular focus on the prediction for the Standard Model-like Higgs boson that is associated with the observed signal. The obtained results will be used as a basis for the extension of the code FeynHiggs to the NMSSM.

Imagination of our Present: Jean Baudrillard from the The System of Objects to the Domotics and the Internet of Things

description: The article reflects on the connections between Baudrillard’s first reflections on space, design and technology and the contemporary innovations that blurred completely the border between virtual and real. Just because not so present in the international debate on the new web as in the nineties, Jean Baudrillard’s work still deserves to be rediscovered and applied to the innovations that mark our time. Probably only authors such as Geert Lovink (2011) are using the reference to the French philosopher to establish a union trait between the old web and the so-called web 2.0. This is why it might be more useful to reflect on how the visionary character of Baudrillard has anticipated a future vision, still to be explored systematically. For this reason in the following article I will try to compare Baudrillard’s first work which is an insightful dissertation on the relationship between the virtual space of communication and the physical space of the architecture, forerunning one of the latest trends in digital innovation that is the integration between bits and atoms as in the recent debate on the end of the ‘digital dualism’ (Jurgenson, 2011).

Government information

description: This paper is a study of the transformation of the North Carolina Information Locator Service (NCGILS) in the decade following its creation in 1995. The changes that NCGILS has undergone mirror then changes in the world of metadata and government information. North Carolina started NCGILS as a librarian-influenced attempt to engage all information creators in producing quality metadata. As a result of several obstacles and issues encountered during the past decade, North Carolina has essentially put NCGILS into hibernation. Today North Carolina relies on automatic harvesting of metadata and centralized efforts by state library staff instead of relying on NCGILS code. This change to an information science driven model underscores the general inability to apply librarian-influenced models in the practical world of government information. The changes, challenges and issues encountered by NCGILS provide a valuable guide for all government agencies and academic students of metadata.
Three-point functions in c <= 1 Liouville theory and conformal loop ensembles

description: The possibility of extending the Liouville Conformal Field Theory from values of the central charge $c \geq 25$ to $c \leq 1$ has been debated for many years in condensed matter physics as well as in string theory. It was only recently proven that such an extension -- involving a real spectrum of critical exponents as well as an analytic continuation of the DOZZ formula for three-point couplings -- does give rise to a consistent theory. We show in this Letter that this theory can be interpreted in terms of microscopic loop models. We introduce in particular a family of geometrical operators, and, using an efficient algorithm to compute three-point functions from the lattice, we show that their operator algebra corresponds exactly to that of vertex operators $V_{\hatα}$ in $c \leq 1$ Liouville. We interpret geometrically the limit $\hatα \to 0$ of $V_{\hatα}$ and explain why it is not the identity operator (despite having conformal weight $Δ=0$).

Jean Baudrillard and Terrorism

Subjects: Jean Baudrillard; terrorism; media

description: The main purpose of this article is to consider the role attributed to terrorism by the French sociologist Jean Baudrillard, who conducted an extensive study on the nature of terrorism in the West over the course of three decades. His enquiry started with an analysis of the relationship between terrorism and the media, and led to the development of a number of concepts that will be considered in detail in this article. These concepts share the idea that in the West we are currently witnessing a return to what Baudrillard defined as the ‘symbolic exchange’, a concept which draws on the French tradition of sociological and anthropological research.

description: Art history publications are heavily reliant on images to illustrate their arguments, but a restrictive rights culture combined with the shrinking budgets of publishers has meant that it can be difficult to find and use the necessary images. By contrast, online cultures use images to freely express themselves in an open generative contrast. This paper analyses how the fair use doctrine of copyright law as a tool that can help bridge these two cultures and create a more open discourse in art history.

Background history and cosmic perturbations for a general system of self-conserved dynamical dark energy and matter

description: We determine the Hubble expansion and the general cosmic perturbations equations for a general system consisting of self-conserved matter and self-conserved dark energy (DE). While at the background level the two components are non-interacting, they do interact at the perturbations level. We show that the coupled system of matter and DE perturbations can be transformed into a single, third order, matter perturbation equation, which reduces to the (derivative of the) standard one in the case that the DE is just a cosmological constant. As a nontrivial application we analyze a class of dynamical models whose DE density $ρ_D$ consists of a constant term, $C_0$, and a series of powers of the Hubble rate. These models were previously analyzed from the point of view of dynamical vacuum models, but here we treat them as self-conserved DE models with a dynamical equation of state. We fit them to the wealth of expansion history and linear structure formation data and compare the obtained fit quality with that of the concordance $Λ$CDM model. Those with $C_0=0$ include the so-called "entropic-force" and "QCD-ghost" DE models, as well as the pure linear model $ρ_D\sim H$, all of which appear strongly disfavored. The models with $C_0\neq 0$, in contrast, emerge as promising dynamical DE candidates whose phenomenological performance is highly competitive with the rigid $Λ$-term inherent to the $Λ$CDM.

description: This study reports the interview responses of ten electronic resource selectors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The interviews were conducted to determine how selectors analyze usage statistics and whether selectors would prefer to use less specific, more specific, or a combination of both kinds of statistics to evaluate electronic indexes and databases. Another goal was to determine whether selectors would prefer to use citation analysis, vendor-generated statistics, or a combination of these methods to evaluate electronic journals. Most participants consider statistics within the context of the cost and the content of the resources. Most selectors would prefer to use a combination of less and more specific measures for evaluating electronic indexes and databases and a combination of citation analysis and vendor-generated statistics for evaluating electronic journals. Selectors' rankings of individual measures varied considerably according to their judgments of which measures indicated the highest level of use.

description: Dissolved oxygen in sea water is a major factor affecting marine habitats and biogeochemical cycles. Oceanic zones with oxygen deficits represent significant portions of the area and volume of the oceans and are thought to be expanding. The Peruvian oxygen minimum zone is one of the most pronounced and lies in a region of strong mesoscale activity in the form of vortices and frontal regions, whose effect in the dynamics of the oxygen minimum zone is largely unknown. Here, we study this issue from a modeling approach and a Lagrangian point of view, using a coupled physical-biogeochemical simulation of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone and finite-size Lyapunov exponent fields to understand the link between mesoscale dynamics and oxygen variations. Our results show that, at depths between 380 and 600 meters, mesoscale structures have a relevant dual role. First, their mean positions and paths delimit and maintain the oxygen minimum zone boundaries. Second, their high frequency fluctuations entrain oxygen across these boundaries as eddy fluxes that point towards the interior of the oxygen minimum zone and are one order of magnitude larger than mean fluxes. We conclude that these eddy fluxes contribute to the ventilation of the oxygen minimum zone.

description: Since data curation is a new area of practice for LIS professionals, little is known about the existing workforce in this area. Using secondary analysis of the Workforce Issues in Library and Information Science data, the study examined the work, career stories and post-graduate experiences of LIS alumni who indicated that their work involved data work. LIS professionals performing data duties appeared in a variety of organizations and workplace settings. These professionals were also more likely to be managers, have a higher number of job functions and identify as both a librarian and information professional than other respondents. Five career pathways into data curation were identified.

Dancing in Circles. Baudrillard and Death
Creators: name: D'Andrea, Fabio
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2017
Subjects: death; imaginary; objects

description: With the aid of a Baudrillardian text that sociology mostly overlooked, this essay aims at highlighting the author’s closeness to the mythanalytic core of French socio-anthropology, particularly Durand and Maffesoli – thinkers to whom Baudrillard has been connected by strong friendly, even more than intellectual, ties. In Symbolic Exchange and Death (1984 [1976]), he puts forward a heterodox view of the social, when Modernity is still at its apex. He does so in no uncertain terms: ‘symbol’ and ‘death’ in the title mark a radical moving away from the prevailing ideology; more so the conjugation of serious things like economy and goods with fuzzy entities such as symbols, vestiges of a cultural infancy now left behind. Today this is not, however, the most appealing aspect of this book: the Modern attempt at rebuilding reality starting from the market has failed, but this is only one of the aspects of the paradigmatic collapse that is crushing the XXI century. Much more is at stake and most of it is here suggested: reversibility, cycle, death. The play of simulacra and the dissolution of reality are already clearly formulated, even though more can be said about the transfiguration of objects, but it is also possible to take Baudrillard’s ideas beyond their intended range by focusing on a moment in his career when his path could have gone in other directions than those it actually took. It could have led him to less modern developments: the symbolic and corporeal space that is hinted at here is the Elsewhere of Modernity that in subsequent works unfortunately disappears.

The Question of Reality: the Relationship Between the Real and the Unreal in Baudrillard and Morin
Creators: name: Grassi, Valentina
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2017
Subjects: : reality, Baudrillard, Morin

description: Jean Baudrillard and Edgar Morin were both fascinated by the question of the ‘reality of reality’ in the contemporary world, where the domination of media, technics and technology has substantially reconfigured mankind’s relationship with reality. The substantial difference between the two positions is that Baudrillard in the endless dialectic between the real and the unreal disrupts both, without the possibility of their ever being caught in their essence, while in Morin the two are an integral part of each other and it isn’t possible for humans to escape the contradiction of a life that is both real and unreal, in constant exchange between reality and imaginary. For Baudrillard, the task of thought is to expose a reality that is fundamentally illusory, and it must do so through a series of provocative propositions that force reality to reveal itself as illusion. For Morin, social phenomena, even unexpected events in the social system, must be designed with specific attention to their symbolic, mythological aspect, which is a constituent part of social communication with respect to the phenomenon itself. Aspects generally confined within the irrational lie must have their space as an object of study, in order to increase awareness of the continued contamination and of the indissolubility of the epistemological couple reality-unreality.

description: We introduce the co-surface graph $\mathcal{CS}$ of a finitely generated free group $\mathbb{F}$ and use it to study the geometry of hyperbolic group extensions of $\mathbb{F}$. Among other things, we show that the Gromov boundary of the co-surface graph is equivariantly homeomorphic to the space of free arational $\mathbb{F}$-trees and use this to prove that a finitely generated subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(\mathbb{F})$ quasi-isometrically embeds into the co-surface graph if and only if it is purely atoroidal and quasi-isometrically embeds into the free factor complex. This answers a question of I. Kapovich. Our earlier work [Hyperbolic extensions of free groups, arXiv:1406.2567] shows that every such group gives rise to a hyperbolic extension of $\mathbb{F}$, and here we prove a converse to this result that characterizes the hyperbolic extensions of $\mathbb{F}$ arising in this manner. As an application of our techniques, we additionally obtain a Scott--Swarup type theorem for this class of extensions.

description: We describe a simple method that produces automatically closed forms for the coefficients of continued fractions expansions of a large number of special functions. The function is specified by a non-linear differential equation and initial conditions. This is used to generate the first few coefficients and from there a conjectured formula. This formula is then proved automatically thanks to a linear recurrence satisfied by some remainder terms. Extensive experiments show that this simple approach and its straightforward generalization to difference and $q$-difference equations capture a large part of the formulas in the literature on continued fractions.

description: Social media has played a significant role in recent activist movements. It empowers activists to organize and communicate their experiences. Archival efforts to document narratives that are historically silenced makes activist material an attractive collecting area. However, archives trying to preserve digital ephemera like social media from activist movements face digital preservation challenges as well as ethical considerations. By conducting online surveys and semi-structured interviews with archivists working on projects collecting activist social media this study found that activist social collecting projects: 1) face ethical and collection development challenges, 2) usually follow traditional models for acquisition, description, and access, and 3) increase donor and user engagement with collections. This suggests that in the future the profession would benefit from the development of best practices surrounding ethical collection development and use of activist social media.
Proof of a new colour decomposition for QCD amplitudes

description: Recently, Johansson and Ochirov conjectured the form of a new colour decomposition for QCD tree-level amplitudes. This note provides a proof of that conjecture. The proof is based on "Mario World" Feynman diagrams, which exhibit the hierarchical Dyck structure previously found to be very useful when dealing with multi-quark amplitudes.

Baudrillard Between Benjamin and McLuhan: ‘the Narcissistic Seduction’ of the Media Society
Creators: name: Lombardinilo, Andrea
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2017
Subjects: : communication, media, sociology

description: This paper aims to further investigate some aspects of Baudrillard’s analysis of the media society, influenced by Benjamin’s aesthetic teaching and McLuhan’s mediological legacy. His purpose is to probe the effects of the symbolic speedup fueled by the repeatability of messages and contents, constantly substituted by their immanent abstractions. The dominion of the signifier upon the signified, the replacement of the referendum with its referential highlights, the emphasis on the semiotic complexity of contemporary myths (as already remarked by Barthes), all this is destined to turn media into body extensions. Hence follows the ‘narcissistic seduction’ of television, as McLuhan outlines in reference to the tautological nature of mainstream media. In this sense, Baudrillard does not neglect the heuristic relevance of daily experience, conceived as an ‘open work’ by Eco. To the fore are the expressive shifts engendered by the cultural industry in the age of consumer fever. The result is Baudrillard’s syncretistic analysis of our communicative uncertainty. The latter stems from the meaningful and repeatable objects permeating the social act, increasingly influenced by the ‘narcissistic seduction’ of media.

Sentiment analysis

description: This study performed sentiment analysis on Tweets created during 30 basketball games. 14,440 Tweets were collected using the Twitter Streaming API, parsed by a script and analyzed using the program SentiStrength. There was significant strong positive correlation between game sentiment of fan Tweets and the outcome of the game. Significant correlation was also found between fourth quarter sentiment of fan Tweets and the outcome of the game. Findings suggest that fans participate in live-Tweeting game events as a way to interact with the game and other fans. This study proposes that improvements can be made to sentiment analysis through domain-specific approaches such as improved domain dictionaries and lexicons.
Smart Pilot Assignment for Massive MIMO

description: A massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, which utilizes a large number of antennas at the base station (BS) to serve multiple users, suffers from pilot contamination due to inter-cell interference. A smart pilot assignment (SPA) scheme is proposed in this letter to improve the performance of users with severe pilot contamination. Specifically, by exploiting the large-scale characteristics of fading channels, the BS firstly measures the inter-cell interference of each pilot sequence caused by the users with the same pilot sequence in other adjacent cells. Then, in contrast to the conventional schemes which assign the pilot sequences to the users randomly, the proposed SPA method assigns the pilot sequence with the smallest inter-cell interference to the user having the worst channel quality in a sequential way to improve its performance. Simulation results verify the performance gain of the proposed scheme in typical massive MIMO systems.

description: This paper discusses the elements that contribute to student comfort in library study areas. These factors, which include lighting, color, acoustics, and furniture, were generated from a search of library and architectural literature. The criteria were then applied to three undergraduate libraries, Clemons Library at University of Virginia, Johnson Center Library at George Mason University, and Lilly Library at Duke Library. The case studies include descriptions of the physical appearance of the spaces based on the generated criteria, as well as suggestions for improvements that may be made. Photographs and floor plans are included to illustrate visual elements of the spaces.

Subjects: terrorism, communic-action, digital era

description: In the last decades, societies had to face great social changes. In the current globalised world, individuals are always more connected one to each other and the social network in which they are inserted have a deep influence on them. At the same time, ancient phenomena like the terroristic one have shown great capabilities in adapting to them. Even if secular and religious terroristic groups are not so different as they could appear, different explanations for a different type of terrorism have been defined. The great challenge of our days is to understand the real meanings of the change occurred; above all, a new form of relations and interrelations must be considered. Indeed, all social transformation concerning individuals and their social networks are reflected by larger phenomena. In this perspective, the globalisation process, the spread of the digital era and the spread of Information Communicational Technologies have had a great impact on the social structure of current communities. Indeed, the easy access to new technologies and their potentialities are key elements in the evolution of terroristic organisations. The aim of this article is to offer an overview on this subject inserted in the international context, underlying the deep change occurred from an organised relation to a connected organisation of actors.

Periodic transit and variability search with simultaneous systematics filtering: Is it worth it?

description: By using subsets of the HATNet and K2 (Kepler two-wheel) Campaign 1 databases, we examine the effectiveness of filtering out systematics from photometric time series while simultaneously searching for periodic signals. We carry out tests to recover simulated sinusoidal and transit signals added to time series with both real and artificial noise. We find that the simple (and more traditional) method that performs correction for systematics first and signal search thereafter, produces higher signal recovery rates on the average, while also being substantially faster than the simultaneous method. Independently of the method of search, once the signal is found, a far less time consuming full-fledged model, incorporating both the signal and systematics, must be employed to recover the correct signal shape. As a by-product of the tests on the K2 data, we find that for longer period sinusoidal signals the detection rate decreases (after an optimum value is reached) as the number of light curves used for systematics filtering increases. The decline of the detection rate is observable in both methods of filtering, albeit the simultaneous method performs better in the regime of relative high template number. We suspect that the observed phenomenon is linked to the increased role of low amplitude intrinsic stellar variability in the space-based data. This assumption is also supported by the substantially higher stability of the detection rates for transit signals against the increase of the template number.

Les chercheuses ont également tenté de mettre en perspective ces structures particulières visant à organiser le travail des élèves de manière coopérative avec les difficultés habituellement rencontrées par les enseignants·e·s face à ce type de modalité de travail. Alliant recherche semi-expérimentale et qualitative, ce travail combine une méthode de récolte de données mixtes, permettant une analyse plus nuancée de celles-ci.
