description: By comparing the properties of non-recycled radio-loud $γ-$ray pulsars and radio-quiet $γ-$ray pulsars, we have searched for the differences between these two populations. We found that the $γ-$ray spectral curvature of radio-quiet pulsars can be larger than that of radio-loud pulsars. Based on the full sample of non-recycled $γ-$ray pulsars, their distributions of the magnetic field strength at the light cylinder are also found to be different. We notice that this might be resulted from the observational bias. In re-examining the previously reported difference of $γ-$ray-to-X-ray flux ratios, we found the significance can be hampered by their statistical uncertainties. In the context of outer gap model, we discuss the expected properties of these two populations and compare with the possible differences identified in our analysis.

description: The application of dyes in different process industries will cause environmental impact. Thus, the need for removal of dyes using an Advanced oxidation process is a vital issue to decrease the effect of dyes. An Advanced oxidation process works based on the generation of hydroxyl radicals as an intermediate to takes place the photocatalytic process under UV irradiation. Titanium dioxide was used in the photocatalytic decolorization study of a dye i.e., methylene blue (MB). During Usage of this semiconductor as a photocatalyst for removal of dye, physiochemical characteristics of the photocatalyst, the effect of the various process parameters like initial dye concentration, catalyst loading, and UV irradiation time on the photodegradation of MB were investigated using surface Response methodology. We obtain that the photocatalyst material has anatase composition of 100%, the specific surface area 55.64 m 2 /g and crystallite size of 39.93 nm respectively. In addition to this, analysis on degradation of methylene blue (MB) as an organic dye pollutant upon photocatalytic oxidation of TiO 2 nanoparticles under UV-light (393 nm) irradiation was optimized. According to analysis of variance numerical optimization 94.89 % removal efficiency were predicted through adjusting the selected parameters under specified or bounded conditions. Furthermore, the rate of dye degradation (reaction) kinetics were also studied. The result indicates from first order Languier-Hinshewood kinetics model, is good fitting with regression coefficient of 97.93 %.

description: In nematodes, environmental or physiological perturbations alter death's scaling of time. In human cancer, genetic perturbations alter death's curvature of time. Those changes in scale and curvature follow the constraining contours of death's invariant geometry. I show that the constraints arise from a fundamental extension to the theories of randomness, invariance and scale. A generalized Gompertz law follows. The constraints imposed by the invariant Gompertz geometry explain the tendency of perturbations to stretch or bend death's scaling of time. Variability in death rate arises from a combination of constraining universal laws and particular biological processes.

description: The self-referenced spectral interferometry (SRSI) technique, which is usually used for microjoule-level femtosecond pulses characterization, is improved to characterize weak femtosecond pulses with nanojoule based on the transient-grating effect. Both femtosecond pulses from an amplifier with 3 nJ per pulse at 1 kHz repetition rates and femtosecond pulses from an oscillator with less than 0.5 nJ per pulse at 84 MHz repetition rates are successfully characterized. Furthermore, through a special design, the optical setup of the device is even smaller than a palm which will makes it simple and convenient during the application. These improvements extend the application of SRSI technique to the characterization of femtosecond pulses in a broad range. Not only pulses from an amplifier but also pulses from an oscillator or weak pulses used in ultrafast spectroscopy can be monitored with this SRSI method right now.

Evaluation of Different Seepage Treatment Methods in Railway Tunnels Case Study: Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit System (LRT)

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: This research investigated and evaluated water blocking techniques in tunnel sections present at the St. Georgis tunnel using 2D modelling by numerical simulation software namely GeoStudio. With the help of GeoStudio extension, GeoStudio SEEP/W, the tunnel geometry along with material property of the concrete and backfill material using readily available hydraulic property as an assumption was modelled. This together with simplifying assumptions such as material homogeneity and isotropy, maximum water flux or infiltration pressure was seen at tunnel bottom of the side wall and clearly seen much like the actual condition. With this assumptions, the model showed that, the tunnel section exhibits maximum flux or infiltration in the bottom corner each side. The inner lining of the tunnel in particular have been studied and results show that the nodes exhibit water infiltration occurs in each node point with the maximum 9.75E /s. Proper application of water proofing helps in preventing water infiltration throughout the tunnel lining. Even if exterior waterproofing is part of the solution, it is also necessary to implement a drain pipe at the bottom of the tunnel to remove the water that will accumulate near the tunnel bottom. One additional finding here would be that the protection of the waterproofing on the tunnel side linings will be greatly increased if a rock-fill can be implemented on the as a backfill material for a limited width so that the gravitational drainage of the rock-fill avoids any saturation to develop at the tunnel side lining. In both cases though, the implementation of a drain pipe is mandatory. Furthermore the research has managed to deduce the applied water proofing material has malfunctioned or otherwise since it has been claimed that water proofing material has been implemented on all section of the tunnel, where there should have been less threat of leakage according to the research, the top slab of the tunnel, on actual ground it was seen to have had high leakage.

description: In relay assisted wireless communications, the multi-source, single relay and single destination system (an $M$-1-1 system) is of growing importance, due to the increased demand for higher network throughput and connectivity. Previously, power allocation in $M$-1-1 systems have assumed availability of instantaneous channel state information (CSI), which is rather idealistic. In this paper we consider an $M$-1-1 Decode-and-Forward (DF), Full-Duplex, orthogonal frequencey division multiple access (OFDMA) based relay system with statistical-CSI and analyze the achievable rate $R$ of such a system. We show how $R$ can only be maximized by numerical power allocation schemes which has a high-complexity of order $\mathcal O(M^3)$. By introducing a rational approximation in the achievable rate analysis, we develop two low-complexity power allocation schemes that can obtain a system achievable rate very close to the maximum $R$. Most importantly, we show that the complexity of our power allocation schemes is of order $\mathcal O(M\log M)$. We then show how our power allocation schemes are suitable for a multi-user relay system, where either the priority is to maximize system throughput, or where lower computations in power allocation scheme are essential. The work we present in this paper will be of value to the design and implementation of real-time multi-user relay systems operating under realistic channel conditions.

description: Open star clusters from the MWSC (Milky Way Star Clusters) catalogue have been used to determine the Galactic rotation parameters. The circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center has been found from data on more than 2000 clusters of various ages to be V_0=236+/-6 km s^{-1} for the adopted Galactocentric distance of the Sun R_0=8.3+/-0.2 kpc. The derived angular velocity parameters are Ω_0=28.48+/-0.36 km s^{-1} kpc^{-1}, Ω'_0=-3.50+/-0.08 km s^{-1} kpc^{-2}, and Ω"_0= 0.331+/-0.037 km s^{-1} kpc^{-3}. The influence of the spiral density wave has been detected only in the sample of clusters younger than 50 Myr. For these clusters the amplitudes of the tangential and radial velocity perturbations are f_θ=5.6+/-1.6 km s^{-1} and f_R=7.7+/-1.4 km s^{-1}, respectively; the perturbation wavelengths are λ_θ=2.6+/-0.5 kpc (i_θ=-11+/-2 degrees) and λ_R=2.1+/-0.5 kpc (i_R=-9+/-2 degrees) for the adopted four-armed model (m=4). The Sun's phase in the spiral density wave is (χ_\odot)_θ=-62+/-9 degrees and (χ_\odot)_R =-85+/-10 degrees from the residual tangential and radial velocities, respectively.

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Proper and adequate lighting plays an important role at workplaces, which can significantly enhance or worsen workplace safety and productivity. Vision is one of the major senses in a human body that directly affects tasks and activities. Thus, improving inadequate lighting does not necessarily mean to introduce more light. Installing better lights with less fixtures but more illumination could prove to be a cheaper and more effective alternative. This project revolves around enhancing the current lighting conditions through the introduction of a smart lighting system with integrated LEDs providing safer and more effective lighting while utilizing the application of various safety engineering and illumination methods, principles and techniques at a medical device manufacturing plant in order to minimize workplace near misses, reduce overall energy consumption and improve productivity. Three artificial lighting methods were experimented one by one each for one month and their yielded results were compared against each other for the three defined dependent variables. The enhancement project yielded significant results in the form of decreased number of near misses, reduced annual energy consumption, and increased worker efficiency as compared to those of the previous conditions.

description: We study the $\bar D D$ (${\bar D}^0 D^0$ and $D^-D^+$) charm meson pair production in antiproton (${\bar p}$) induced reactions on nuclei at beam energies ranging from threshold to several GeV. Our model is based on an effective Lagrangian approach that has only the baryon-meson degrees of freedom and involves the physical hadron masses. The reaction proceeds via the $t$-channel exchanges of $Λ_c^+$, $Σ_c^+$, and $Σ_c^{++}$ baryons in the initial collision of the antiproton with one of the protons of the target nucleus. The medium effects on the exchanged baryons are included by incorporating in the corresponding propagators, the effective charm baryon masses calculated within a quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The wave functions of the bound proton have been determined within the QMC model as well as in a phenomenological model where they are obtained by solving the Dirac equation with appropriate scalar and vector potentials. The initial- and final-state distortion effects have been approximated by using an eikonal approximation-based procedure. Detailed numerical results are presented for total and double differential cross sections for the ${\bar D}^0 D^0$ and $D^-D^+$ production reactions on $^{16}$O and $^{90}$Zr targets. It is noticed that at ${\bar p}$ beam momenta of interest to the ${\bar P}ANDA$ experiment, medium effects lead to noticeable enhancements in the charm meson production cross sections.

description: We present an X-ray and radio study of the famous `El Gordo', a massive and distant ($z=0.87$) galaxy cluster. In the deep (340 ks) Chandra observation, the cluster appears with an elongated and cometary morphology, a sign of its current merging state. The GMRT radio observations at 610 MHz reveal the presence of a radio halo which remarkably overlaps the X-ray cluster emission and connects a couple of radio relics. We detect a strong shock ($\mathcal{M}\gtrsim3$) in the NW periphery of the cluster, co-spatially located with the radio relic. This is the most distant ($z=0.87$) and one of the strongest shock detected in a galaxy cluster. This work supports the relic-shock connection and allows to investigate the origin of these radio sources in a uncommon regime of $\mathcal{M}\gtrsim3$. For this particular case we found that shock acceleration from the thermal pool is still a viable possibility.

description: The CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer (CT-PPS) is an approved project to add tracking and timing information at approximately $\pm$210~m from the interaction point around the CMS detector. It is designed to operate at high luminosity with up to 50 interactions per 25~ns bunch crossing to perform measurements of e.g. the quartic gauge couplings and search for rare exclusive processes. During 2016, CT-PPS took data in normal high-luminosity proton-proton LHC collisions. In the coming years, high radiation doses and large multiple-vertex interactions will represent difficult challenges that resemble those of the high-luminosity LHC program. A coordinated effort of detector upgrades with the goal of reaching the physics goals while mitigating the degradation effects is under way. Upgrades to the tracking and timing detectors are discussed.

Impact of Faith, Religion, and Faith-Based Practices on African American Mothers with Autistic Children
Creators: name: Thompson-Spratley, Tamara
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Though there is an abundance of research identifying the significant role that faith-based coping strategies play in the lives of African American women when facing challenging life circumstances, there is a scarcity of research examining its impact on African American mothers raising children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Qualitative research exploring the experiences of African American mothers could provide insight into the ways in which faith, religion and faith-based practices influence African American mothers raising children with Autism. This Phenomenological study examined the influence of faith-based coping tools on fifteen African American mothers with autistic children. Five main research questions were explored: (1) How does faith, religion, and faith-based practices play a role in the coping strategies utilized by African American women raising children with autism? (2) Other than faith-based strategies, what coping tools and supports do these mothers utilize? (3) What impact if any, do faith, religion and faith-based practices have on mothers’ well-being and their perception of their children’s autism diagnosis? (4) What influence do the mothers believe that God has over their child’s prognosis?; and (5) How supportive do the mothers feel their religious community is towards them and their children? After analysis of the data, five main themes were identified including: (1) Emotions; (2) Faith-based practices and interactions; (3) Mothers’ perceptions of God’s role in their lives; (4) Experience of raising a child with Autism; and (5) Non-faith-based supports and interactions. The mothers revealed that faith-based interventions are a critical coping tool when managing the challenges associated with caring for their autistic children. Although all the mothers participating in the study verbalized a belief in a higher power, there were different views expressed on how God intervenes in their lives. The mothers verbalized a variety of both negative and positive attitudes regarding the support they received from their religious communities. Also, though faith-based tools were identified as being effective, other non-faith-based supports were noted as being helpful as well. Lastly, the mothers verbalized experiencing a range of emotions related to their child’s diagnosis of Autism. These emotions were found to change over time as the mothers adjusted and adapted to their child’s diagnosis. Implications and recommendations for future research, practice and policy were discussed.
Characterizing the Microbiome of a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Experiencing Atypical Temperatures
Creators: name: Tanzillo, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Landfill microbiology is a sparsely researched field. In these environments, elevated temperatures (above 45 °C) are uncommon, but they are a growing area of concern. Looking at one landfill experiencing above average temperatures (up to 87 °C) helps determine how landfill microbiomes respond to temperature change. Recent advances in sequencing technology provides an opportunity for a comprehensive investigation of these ecosystem dynamics using next generation sequencing. The microbiome observed is unlike the typical landfill community structure. Landfill samples were predominantly Firmicutes, especially in higher temperature samples (above 79 °C). Impacts on methanogens and methanotrophs are of great interest due to their role in global methane emissions. This community experiencing higher than usual temperatures provides insight on unexplored landfill ecosystem dynamics.

Terminality
Creators: name: Karlholm, Dan
Publisher: name: Terms: CIHA Journal of Art History
Year: 2023

description: The liminal term terminality serves as a conversation piece for issues to do with our escalating climate crisis; it is a term of engagement against our lingering collective dis-engagement from what many of us perceive as irrelevant to our profession. Terminality builds alliances between its nominal identity as a term, the temporal duration of a term and the arrival-and-departure characteristics of a terminal. Inevitably, however, the term also connotes end-state or terminal condition. The use-value of such a term is to summon a set of interlinked issues and propositions to stimulate action from and within the most anthropocentric discipline of all: art history. The essay discusses how art history could respond to the above on the level of the material entities of the artworks themselves (usually abbreviated as “art”) and the narrations and interconnections we produce to account for their identities, interdependencies and temporal trajectories (usually abbreviated as “history”).

description: We present the second ROSAT all-sky survey source catalogue, hereafter referred to as the 2RXS catalogue. This is the second publicly released ROSAT catalogue of point-like sources obtained from the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS) observations performed with the PSPC between June 1990 and August 1991, and is an extended and revised version of the bright and faint source catalogues. We used the latest version of the RASS processing to produce overlapping X-ray images of 6.4x6.4 degrees sky regions. To create a source catalogue, a likelihood-based detection algorithm was applied to these, which accounts for the PSF across the PSPC field of view. Improvements in the background determination compared to 1RXS were also implemented. We obtained about 135,000 X-ray detections in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy band down to a likelihood threshold of 6.5. Our simulations show that the expected spurious content of the catalogue is a strong function of detection likelihood, and the full catalogue is expected to contain about 30% spurious detections. X-ray images and overlaid X-ray contour lines provide an additional user product to evaluate the detections visually, and we performed our own visual inspections to flag uncertain detections. Intra-day variability in the X-ray light curves was quantified based on the normalised excess variance and a maximum amplitude variability analysis. X-ray spectral fits were performed using three basic models, a power law, a thermal plasma emission model, and black-body emission. Thirty-two large extended regions with diffuse emission and embedded point sources were identified and excluded from the present analysis. The 2RXS catalogue provides the deepest and cleanest X-ray all-sky survey catalogue in advance of eROSITA.

description: Rethinking “collectivity” aims at carving a methodology and standpoint to deconstruct the rigid forms of collectivity and to build different possibilities of reconnection. The term “to de/re-collectivize” is coined by Hyperimage Group to interpret contemporary artistic practices that intervene in social realities. This essay focuses on three representative artists from Hyperimage’s exhibition project “Why Collectivity?” for the Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021: Kidlat Tahimik (the Philippines), Koki Tanaka (Japan), and Daniel G. Andújar (Spain). Their practices respond to the core concern “re-/de-collectivize art in action,” which seeks to examine the changing modes of collective memory and visual heritage as they are confronted by the ongoing expansion of global capitalist markets and competing (geo-) politics, as well as the ways in which the imagination of a utopic social order becomes communal (artistic) practices of ad-hoc assemblies and temporary collectivities.

Nostalgia

Publisher: name: Terms: CIHA Journal of Art History
Year: 2023

description: This essay discusses the concept of nostalgia as a paradigm that comes into play in engaged art and particularly in contemporary artistic practices and theories that relate to the global margins. While international art platforms and the museum are increasingly calling for decolonization, inclusion and diversity, issues of remembrance, migration and exile, trauma and loss, fragmentation and restoration, often appear to be negotiated or viewed through the paradigm of nostalgia. Can nostalgia be used as a critical tool to address these problematics? Can the aesthetics of nostalgia activate change or even inspire debate? Or, on the contrary, does nostalgia fix and maintain difference when it comes to gender and racial issues, as well as their intersectionalities? Is there a clear demarcation between the perpetrators of colonial nostalgia and the inheritors of its legacies? This essay intends to address these questions and expand the reflection on nostalgia as an effective term for the field of global art history.

description: Every country has a different approach to of climate change adaptation based on local context and needs. This presentation gives an overview how the Netherlands and Germany approach sustainability, and how these differences impacted the energy transition process. Multi-Stakeholder processes have been one of the most crucial features during this process. Germany has proven to be a pioneer in the renewable energy technology and implemented the energy transition through an integrated long-term governance perspective. Public awareness is created through economic incentives, like a tariff-system that is supposed to support renewable energy producers with attractive rates. The Netherlands proved to be a pioneer in "transition management frameworks" throughout the process initiating new ways for coalitions between research and policy making to create storylines alongside already existing agendas of various governmental bodies. By now, the governing authorities in the Netherlands have implemented sustainability agendas on every level. The Netherlands create sustainable project outcomes by • Multi-Stakeholder dialogues • Analyzing and planning every project from a long-term sustainability perspective • Putting the SDG framework at the center of project design on every governmental level • Creating public awareness In Germany sustainability adaptation projects are created, if municipalities see an urgent need or receive special funding for pilot projects. However, by creating a multi-stakeholder communication plan including municipalities, utilities committees, urban planners, local academia and local fund givers as well the engaged public, new ideas can be generated in an joint effort. This can broaden up finance opportunities and leads, as in the Netherlands, to more holistic projects.

We develop and analyze explicit and implicit mimetic finite difference schemes for this equation. These schemes work on general polytopal meshes which provide enormous flexibility to model magnetic devices with various shapes. A projection on the unit sphere is used to preserve the magnitude of the magnetization. We also provide a proof that shows the exchange energy is decreasing in certain conditions. The developed schemes are tested on general meshes that include distorted and randomized meshes. The numerical experiments include a test proposed by the National Institute of Standard and Technology and a test showing formation of domain wall structures in a thin film.

description: Distinguished from representation, another kind of art of “Word-Writing” finds echoes in Paleolithic art (e.g. the Lascaux cave), which features a type of “drawings” of lines and dots, in addition to mimetic images and patterns as signs and symbols in art history. Not being fully explained so far, this kind of “drawings/traces” can be a research subject if approached from the perspective of shufa (Chinese traditional art of Word-Writing which highlights spontaneity/freedom of expressing moods or feelings and also refers to a kind of freehand brushwork correlating) and xieyi (Chinese traditional painting which becomes similar to a kind of “Word-Writing”).

Baroque

Publisher: name: Terms: CIHA Journal of Art History

description: The spiritual torsion and material complexity so characteristic of Baroque aesthetics is something that extends to (or perhaps, better, issues from) the intension of the term itself. This much is evident in the sense that, since the twentieth century, various projects have proposed such notions as a medical-baroque, a postcolonial-baroque, and a digital-baroque. Beyond any given object of analysis, then, in this way the Baroque adduces the concepts by which any inquiry into objects might take place. As such, the Baroque can be said to be that which signals the ongoing relation of thought to the world, of ‘the inside’ to ‘the outside’ (while at the same time problematising the priority of either side over the other). Indeed, following certain post-Kantian readings of Leibnizian philosophy, the Baroque is to be regarded not so much as something to be understood but rather as a frenzied development of the understanding itself.

Current-loops, phase transitions, and the Higgs mechanism in Josephson-coupled multi-component superconductors

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The $N$-component London $\mathrm{U}(1)$ superconductor is expressed in terms of integer-valued supercurrents. We show that the inclusion of inter-band Josephson couplings introduces monopoles in the current fields, which convert the phase transitions of the charge-neutral sector to crossovers. The monopoles only couple to the neutral sector, and leave the phase transition of the charged sector intact. The remnant non-critical fluctuations in the neutral sector influence the one remaining phase transition in the charged sector, and may alter this phase transition from a $3DXY$ inverted phase transition into a first-order phase transition depending on what the values of the gauge-charge and the inter-component Josephson coupling are. This preemptive effect becomes more pronounced with increasing number of components $N$, since the number of charge-neutral fluctuating modes that can influence the charged sector increases with $N$. We also calculate the gauge-field correlator, and by extension the Higgs mass, in terms of current-current correlators. We show that the onset of the Higgs-mass of the photon (Meissner-effect) is given in terms of a current-loop blowout associated with going into the superconducting state as the temperature of the system is lowered.

description: Fossil tetrapod burrows from the Cerro Azul Formation (Late Miocene-Early Pliocene) of southwestern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, are described and interpreted. The local sedimentary sequence is composed of massive siltstone, with two interbedded calcareous palaeosols, that were deposited in a loessic plain under a semiarid climate. The burrow systems are recognised as Maneraichnus pampeanum igen. and isp. nov., an ichnotaxon that is typified by long ramps that lead to a main chamber located at bifurcation, with chambers forming at least one-third of the total tunnel/ramp volume. A rodent producer is indicated by the presence of interconnected burrow systems with a subcircular cross-section (average RDI = 0.98) and by paired, blunt, incisor traces. The large ratio of chamber volume to tunnel/ramp volume (0.45) is indicative of a communal species and a body mass ranging from 0.9 to 4.6 kg is inferred for the producer. Considering the mentioned constrains and the fossorial mammals of the Cerro Azul Formation, it is proposed that the burrow systems belonged to Lagostomus (Late Miocene-Recent). The fossil burrows also match extant L. maximus (‘vizcacha’) burrow systems in overall architecture, passive fill, and similar size of claw traces. Miocene species of Paedotherium (Notoungulate) is discussed as an alternative potential digger.http://zoobank.org:act:C3588BE1-BAAF-46D7-92FA-0ADEF295AED3http://zoobank.org:act:2A9F3301-9EC8-4FD1-B875-078CD9324049
Jewish Refugee Poetry in Shanghai
Creators: name: Meng, Duosi
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Within the larger context of the Holocaust narrative, the Jewish experience of exile in Shanghai, China provides many examples of the impact of forced migration. This study of the poems written by Jewish exile writers and refugees in Shanghai from 1938 to 1948 discusses the notion of refugee literature as a form of minority literature, the meaning of political writing and cultural-geographical spaces in displacement and the collision of cultural values, the function of language in identity crises, the articulation of cultural differences, and the struggle to survive under extreme deprivation. This theoretical analysis, based on Homi K. Bhabha’s theories on cultural phenomena, backed up by the observation of the survival trajectory of the Jewish refugees in Shanghai, shows that the moments and processes of social, cultural and political confrontation and convergence between races, religions and ideologies achieve a crucial understanding of the location of culture, revealing distinctive images of marginal and under-represented communities. Furthermore, this study also shows that the history of the 20th century was a time of social, economic, and political displacement. Observations made by this historical witnessing force upon us a realization that the transnational fusion of narratives of migration, refuge and exile offer another approach to re-reading mainstream cultures. Cultures not only recognize themselves in being forced to contrast themselves with “otherness”, but also by confronting their own “otherness” as an initial part of “self.”

Poetics

description: Does engagement have a particular poetics? Every artist is committed in and through his work, if only because expressing oneself as an artist, and in a certain way, is always a choice. When an artist like Urs Fischer and institutions like the Venice Biennale, the Pinault - Bourse de Commerce collection (Paris) or the Luma Foundation (Arles), choose to engage the history of art through one of his key works, the Rape of the Sabine Women (1583) of Giambologna, by inscribing it in the poetic register of melancholy or tragedy (abduction, violence, rape), they raise the question of the writing of the history of art today, with the return of looted works, the colonial past, the relationships of violence. This article proposes to question the staging of art history as a tragedy played in front of the media or in front of the public in museums and exhibitions.

Stable dark and bright soliton Kerr combs can coexist in normal dispersion resonators

description: Using the Lugiato-Lefever model, we analyze the effects of third order chromatic dispersion on the existence and stability of dark and bright soliton Kerr frequency combs in the normal dispersion regime. While in the absence of third order dispersion only dark solitons exist over an extended parameter range, we find that third order dispersion allows for stable dark and bright solitons to coexist. Reversibility is broken and the shape of the switching waves connecting the top and bottom homogeneous solutions is modified. Bright solitons come into existence thanks to the generation of oscillations in the switching wave profiles. Finally, oscillatory instabilities of dark solitons are also suppressed in the presence of sufficiently strong third order dispersion.
