title: Caveat Emptor! The Rhetoric of Choice in Food Politics
Creators: name: Calabrese, Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: This project is about a form of corporate predation that entails both policy influence and cultural legitimation. Neoliberal explanations of the inability of citizens to thrive in the current socio- economic condition typically rest on a combination of victim-blaming and appeals to the individualistic rhetoric that assumes we all enjoy equality of opportunity and freedom of choice. It is common for corporate lobbyists, and politicians under their influence, to argue against consumer protection on the grounds that such efforts are paternalistic, and that they therefore undermine consumer sovereignty. By this logic, illnesses that are highly correlated to diet are problems that consumers can avoid, and it is not the duty of food companies or government to prevent consumers from making “bad choices.” Implicit in this moralistic narrative is that consumers have sufficient knowledge about the alternatives to enable them to make “good choices.” Major food lobbies use their political influence to oppose government regulations of food, based on the reasoning that consumers deserve the right to choose. Food industry groups also will sometimes invest heavily to prevent legal requirements to disclose information that might enable consumers to make informed choices, creating a predatory double-bind. In this essay, I discuss how the rhetoric of choice is employed by the food industry, how it is formulated within the political context of the United States, and how that rhetoric poses threats to food systems globally.
Drop impact on wet granular beds: water-content effects on the cratering

description: Drop impact events on wet granular bed show rich variety by changing the substrate composition. We observe the drop impact onto dry/wet granular substrates with different grain size (50-400 μm) and water content (0-22 vol %). Although the impactor condition is fixed (impact velocity: 4.0 m/s, water drop radius: 1.8 mm), the experiment reveals that the post-impact behaviors of both impactor and target are strongly affected by the substrate composition. We sort these behaviors into several phases regarding liquid splashing and crater shapes left after the event. As these phases show relevance each other, we measure the mechanical characteristics of the substrates and find that the onset of splashing and particle ejection are explained by a fracture of the substrate. Furthermore, we discuss several timescales of the event to understand more detailed phase separations. Consequently, we find that the splashing phase and the crater shape are determined by a competition of the timescales of impact, penetration, and contact.

description: Background: The population of older people should be supported to enjoy optimal quality of life. Health professionals should consider a range of interventions that support the older population to maintain their quality of life. One such interventional approach involves spiritual care. Objective: To explore what is known about spiritual care approaches for older people living in the community. Methods: Scoping review informed by Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Eight electronic databases were searched: CINAHL, Ageline, PubMed, ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health, PsycINFO, Scopus, Garuda, and Neliti. The review included quantitative and qualitative primary peer-reviewed research studies focusing on spiritual care interventions for older people living in the community published between 2011 and 2021 in English or Bahasa Indonesia. The search was uploaded into an electronic citation manager and imported into Covidence for screening. Results: A total of 29 studies were included in the review. While the studies were conducted in five continents, most were reported from the Asian continent. Five key issues based on the outcome of interventions were found namely psychological, physical, spiritual, multidisciplinary approach, and social connection. Conclusion: This scoping review identifies spiritual interventions conducted across many countries have been implemented for older people living in the community. Although there are review limitations and further research is needed, these spiritual interventions, both faith-based and non-faith-based, are identified as useful to support the well-being of older people.
The UK's Indian Diaspora: Reflections of Hindutva Ideology Online and Offline
Creators: name: Shaji Nair, Gopika
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2025

description: India home to over a billion people has around 17.9 million as a diaspora community around the world. With the onset of a far-right political power in India who are proponents of extremist Hindu ideology, the diaspora’s engagement and participation in this is notable. The paper proposes research questions which aims to observe the UK Indian diaspora’s participation on Twitter and WhatsApp to spread and mobilise for the Hindutva cause. The objectives of the proposed research are to explore themes and contextualise diaspora politics from the lens the Indian diaspora, and to understand how digital media spaces are used by both the political party and its diaspora supporters in creating nationalistic discourse and an identity solidified within these means. The study will also aim to gain in depth understanding of how these online discourses and practices reflect in offline mobilisation. Since this is a MPhil thesis, the paper only proposes a plausible methodology using digital ethnography and semi-structured interviews, that may be used by future researchers either to complete the research questions or for a similar study.
Multiple Floquet Chern insulator phases in the spin-charge coupled triangular-lattice ferrimagnet: Crucial role of higher-order terms in the high-frequency expansion

description: We study the effects of photoirradiation with circularly polarized light on the Dirac half-metal state induced by the ferrimagnetic order in a triangular Kondo-lattice model. Our analysis based on the Floquet theory reveals that two types of Floquet Chern insulator phases appear as photoinduced nonequilibrium steady states and that these two phases can be experimentally detected and distinguished by measurements of the Hall conductivity. It is elucidated that these rich nonequilibrium topological phases come from higher-order terms in the high-frequency expansion called Brillouin-Wigner expansion, which is in striking contrast to usually discussed Floquet Chern insulator phases originating from the lowest-order terms of the expansion. So far, the lattice electron models on simple non-multipartite lattices such as triangular lattices and square lattices have not been regarded as targets of the Floquet engineering because the lowest-order terms of the high-frequency expansion for Floquet effective Hamiltonians cancel each other to vanish in these systems. Our findings of the Floquet Chern insulator phases in a triangular Kondo-lattice model are expected to expand the range of potential models and even materials targeted by the Floquet engineering.

description: In the current artificial intelligence (AI) era, the scale and quality of the dataset play a crucial role in training a high-quality AI model. However, good data is not a free lunch and is always hard to access due to privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). A potential solution is to release a synthetic dataset with a similar distribution to that of the private dataset. Nevertheless, in some scenarios, it has been found that the attributes needed to train an AI model belong to different parties, and they cannot share the raw data for synthetic data publication due to privacy regulations. In PETS 2023, Xue et al. proposed the first generative adversary network-based model, VertiGAN, for vertically partitioned data publication. However, after thoroughly investigating, we found that VertiGAN is less effective in preserving the correlation among the attributes of different parties. This article proposes a Vertical Federated Learning-based Generative Adversarial Network, VFLGAN, for vertically partitioned data publication to address the above issues. Our experimental results show that compared with VertiGAN, VFLGAN significantly improves the quality of synthetic data. Taking the MNIST dataset as an example, the quality of the synthetic dataset generated by VFLGAN is 3.2 times better than that generated by VertiGAN w.r.t. the Fréchet Distance. We also designed a more efficient and effective Gaussian mechanism for the proposed VFLGAN to provide the synthetic dataset with a differential privacy guarantee. On the other hand, differential privacy only gives the upper bound of the worst-case privacy guarantee. This article also proposes a practical auditing scheme that applies membership inference attacks to estimate privacy leakage through the synthetic dataset.

description: Quantum distillation is a modern technology to decrease the von Neumann entropy of a subsystem by coherent system dynamics. Here we propose an active quantum distillation protocol, in which a bang-bang theme is applied to actively control the coherent dynamics of our system in order to obtain a subsystem with the von Neumann entropy as low as possible. For a bipartite Bosonic system, we derive the analytical expression of lower bound of the entropy of subsystem under any unitary transformation with conservation of particles. The lower bound is validated by numerical simulations on the Bose-Hubbard model, where the coherent evolution is controlled by tuning one interaction term of the Hamiltonian. Our protocol can be used to decrease the entropy of one subsystem lower than the total bipartite state and increase the number of Bosons or only distill out very few Bosons in the subsystem.

description: In pursuit of this Special Issue’s goal to “push the traditional boundaries of cultural policy studies,” this article conceptualizes the US Department of Defense (DoD) as a cultural policy agency. All cultural policy is goal-oriented and aims to act within and have effects upon “the cultural.” Cultural policy scholars examine how State agencies, policies, and regulations act upon to influence: the cultural industries; cultural texts; and, national identities and citizen-subjects. Although the US Federal government has no official cultural policy agency like Canada (the Department of Heritage) or France (the Ministry of Culture), this article conceptualizes the DoD—one of the largest US Federal government agencies—as a cultural policy agency and explores how it uses cultural policy to act within and upon the cultural field. It presents a study of one important DoD cultural policy agency (the Public Affairs Office’s Special Assistant for Entertainment Media) and one significant DoD cultural policy doctrine (DoD Instruction 5410.16 DoD Assistance to Non-Government, Entertainment-Oriented Media Productions). This particular DoD cultural policy formation acts upon the cultural field, and in effect, supports and legitimizes the current and ongoing militarization of the cultural industries, popular culture and national identity.

description: In this article, the problem of identifying the source term in transport processes given by a complete parabolic equation is studied mathematically from noisy measurements taken at an arbitrary fixed time. The problem is solved analytically with Fourier techniques and it is shown that this solution is not stable. Three single parameter families of regularization operators are proposed to dealt with the instability of the solution. Each of them is designed to compensate the factor that causes the instability of the inverse operator. Moreover, a rule of choice for the regularization parameter is included and a Hölder error bound type is obtained for each estimation. Numerical examples of different characteristics are presented to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed strategies.

description: Equilibrated fluid-solid-growth (FSGe) is a fast, open source, three-dimensional (3D) computational platform for simulating interactions between instantaneous hemodynamics and long-term vessel wall adaptation through mechanobiologically equilibrated growth and remodeling (G&R). Such models can capture evolving geometry, composition, and material properties in health and disease and following clinical interventions. In traditional G&R models, this feedback is modeled through highly simplified fluid solutions, neglecting local variations in blood pressure and wall shear stress (WSS). FSGe overcomes these inherent limitations by strongly coupling the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for blood flow with a 3D equilibrated constrained mixture model (CMMe) for vascular tissue G&R. CMMe allows one to predict long-term evolved mechanobiological equilibria from an original homeostatic state at a computational cost equivalent to that of a standard hyperelastic material model. In illustrative computational examples, we focus on the development of a stable aortic aneurysm in a mouse model to highlight key differences in growth patterns between FSGe and solid-only G&R models. We show that FSGe is especially important in blood vessels with asymmetric stimuli. Simulation results reveal greater local variation in fluid-derived WSS than in intramural stress (IMS). Thus, differences between FSGe and G&R models became more pronounced with the growing influence of WSS relative to pressure. Future applications in highly localized disease processes, such as for lesion formation in atherosclerosis, can now include spatial and temporal variations of WSS.

description: Recent works on audio-driven talking head synthesis using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have achieved impressive results. However, due to inadequate pose and expression control caused by NeRF implicit representation, these methods still have some limitations, such as unsynchronized or unnatural lip movements, and visual jitter and artifacts. In this paper, we propose GaussianTalker, a novel method for audio-driven talking head synthesis based on 3D Gaussian Splatting. With the explicit representation property of 3D Gaussians, intuitive control of the facial motion is achieved by binding Gaussians to 3D facial models. GaussianTalker consists of two modules, Speaker-specific Motion Translator and Dynamic Gaussian Renderer. Speaker-specific Motion Translator achieves accurate lip movements specific to the target speaker through universalized audio feature extraction and customized lip motion generation. Dynamic Gaussian Renderer introduces Speaker-specific BlendShapes to enhance facial detail representation via a latent pose, delivering stable and realistic rendered videos. Extensive experimental results suggest that GaussianTalker outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in talking head synthesis, delivering precise lip synchronization and exceptional visual quality. Our method achieves rendering speeds of 130 FPS on NVIDIA RTX4090 GPU, significantly exceeding the threshold for real-time rendering performance, and can potentially be deployed on other hardware platforms.

description: Local-nonlocal coupling approaches combine the computational efficiency of local models and the accuracy of nonlocal models. However, the coupling process is challenging, requiring expertise to identify the interface between local and nonlocal regions. This study introduces a machine learning-based approach to automatically detect the regions in which the local and nonlocal models should be used in a coupling approach. This identification process uses the loading functions and provides as output the selected model at the grid points. Training is based on datasets of loading functions for which reference coupling configurations are computed using accurate coupled solutions, where accuracy is measured in terms of the relative error between the solution to the coupling approach and the solution to the nonlocal model. We study two approaches that differ from one another in terms of the data structure. The first approach, referred to as the full-domain input data approach, inputs the full load vector and outputs a full label vector. In this case, the classification process is carried out globally. The second approach consists of a window-based approach, where loads are preprocessed and partitioned into windows and the problem is formulated as a node-wise classification approach in which the central point of each window is treated individually. The classification problems are solved via deep learning algorithms based on convolutional neural networks. The performance of these approaches is studied on one-dimensional numerical examples using F1-scores and accuracy metrics. In particular, it is shown that the windowing approach provides promising results, achieving an accuracy of 0.96 and an F1-score of 0.97. These results underscore the potential of the approach to automate coupling processes, leading to more accurate and computationally efficient solutions for material science applications.

description: The discovery of a star formed out of pair-instability supernova ejecta would have massive implications for the Population III star initial mass function and the existence of stars over 100 Msun, but none have yet been found. Recently, the star LAMOST J1010+2358 was claimed to be a star that formed out of gas enriched by a pair-instability supernova. We present a non-LTE abundance analysis of a new high-resolution Keck/HIRES spectrum of J1010+2358. We determined the carbon and aluminum abundances needed to definitively distinguish between enrichment by a pair-instability and core-collapse supernova. Our new analysis demonstrates that J1010+2358 does not have the unique abundance pattern of a a pair-instability supernova, but was instead enriched by the ejecta of a low mass core-collapse supernova. Thus, there are still no known stars displaying unambiguous signatures of pair-instability supernovae.

description: This research examines China’s persistent effort to promote intellectual property rights (IPR) since the 1980s. Laws of intellectual property were among the first batch of legislations in China’s market reform. Since the mid-1980s, the state propaganda apparatus launched nationwide campaigns in five-year cycles to “educate” Chinese people on the Party’s new market-oriented law and policy, including laws of IPR. When intellectual property became core state policy in the 2000s, new initiatives emerged under law promotion campaigns to “raise awareness” of intellectual property. Starting the late 2000s, the promotion of IPR became stand-alone endeavors devoted to an innovation-friendly “culture” of intellectual property that facilitated compliance with the law and promoted industrial growth in cultural and media sectors. The notion of “IPR culture” played a key role in governmental promotion endeavors after China developed its national IPR strategy in the mid-2000s. In official discourse, “IPR culture” is instrumental and serves to shape mind-sets and regulate behaviors. It seeks to extensively use the Leninist media system to impose top-down pre-packaged understanding of intellectual property. While engaging actively with Western theories and corporate practices, IPR propaganda in China marginalizes and represses bottom-up challenges to the official stance in protection of private cultural property. China’s intellectual property propaganda campaigns are part of the state’s efforts to legitimate and facilitate the market-oriented reform. Since the late 1970s, the market reform proceeded side-by-side with ruthless repression of bottom-up resistance. IPR stood out in the state’s reform scheme at a time when China’s (re)insertion into global capitalist political economy took place concurrently with communication industries playing a key role to propel growth and IPR systems serving as the cornerstone for the market. The state-led campaign to engineer a pro-market IPR culture manifests China’s adoption of the logic of the global IPR regime, which will only subject China to the hegemonic power of Western IPR discourse and distance the state’s cultural project from grassroots dynamics of meaning making.

description: Riemann surfaces are among the simplest and most basic geometric objects. They appear as key players in many branches of physics, mathematics, and other sciences. Despite their widespread significance, how to compute distances between pairs of points on compact Riemann surfaces is surprisingly unknown, unless the surface is a sphere or a torus. This is because on higher-genus surfaces, the distance formula involves an infimum over infinitely many terms, so it cannot be evaluated in practice. Here we derive a computable distance formula for a broad class of Riemann surfaces. The formula reduces the infimum to a minimum over an explicit set consisting of finitely many terms. We also develop a distance computation algorithm, which cannot be expressed as a formula, but which is more computationally efficient on surfaces with high genuses. We illustrate both the formula and the algorithm in application to generalized Bolza surfaces, which are a particular class of highly symmetric compact Riemann surfaces of any genus greater than 1.

In this study, we show how to treat Hamiltonians with non-linear terms, that are relevant for describing uniaxial anisotropies and mechanical constraints. These interactions can be expressed solely through quadratic terms of the spin operator along one axis, that can be identified with the quantisation axis.

description: Model size and inference speed at deployment time, are major challenges in many deep learning applications. A promising strategy to overcome these challenges is quantization. However, a straightforward uniform quantization to very low precision can result in significant accuracy loss. Mixed-precision quantization, based on the idea that certain parts of the network can accommodate lower precision without compromising performance compared to other parts, offers a potential solution. In this work, we present High Granularity Quantization (HGQ), an innovative quantization-aware training method that could fine-tune the per-weight and per-activation precision by making them optimizable through gradient descent. This approach enables ultra-low latency and low power neural networks on hardware capable of performing arithmetic operations with an arbitrary number of bits, such as FPGAs and ASICs. We demonstrate that HGQ can outperform existing methods by a substantial margin, achieving resource reduction by up to a factor of 20 and latency improvement by a factor of 5 while preserving accuracy.

description: The quantum dynamics of a dense and dipole-dipole coupled ensemble of two-level emitters interacting via their environmental thermostat is investigated. The static dipole-dipole interaction strengths are being considered strong enough but smaller than the transition frequency. Therefore, the established thermal equilibrium of ensemble's quantum dynamics is described with respect to the dipole-dipole coupling strengths. We have demonstrated the quantum nature of the spontaneously scattered light field in this process for weaker thermal baths as well as non-negligible dipole-dipole couplings compared to the emitter's transition frequency. Furthermore, the collectively emitted photon intensity suppresses or enhances depending on the environmental thermal baths intensities.

description: With a clean environment and high collision energy, the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) would be an excellent facility for heavy flavor physics. Using the Monte Carlo event generator Pythia, we simulate the production of the charmed (bottom) hadron pairs in the electron-positron collisions at the $Z$ factory of CEPC, and the inclusive production rates for typical candidates of the hidden/double-charm and hidden/double-bottom $S$-wave hadronic molecules are estimated at an order-of-magnitude level with the final state interactions after the hadron pair production. The predicted cross sections for the hidden-charm meson-meson molecules $X(3872)$ and $Z_c(3900)$ are at $\rm{pb}$ level, which are about two to three orders of magnitude larger than the production cross sections for the double-charm meson-meson molecules $T_{cc}$ and $T_{cc}^{*}$, as the double-charmed ones require the production of two pairs of $c\bar{c}$ from the $Z$ boson decay. The production cross sections for the hidden-charm pentaquark states $P_{c}$ and $P_{cs}$ as meson-baryon molecules are a few to tens of fb, which are about one magnitude larger than those of the possible hidden-charm baryon-antibaryon and double-charm meson-baryon molecules. In the bottom sector, the production cross sections for the $Z_b$ states as $B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{*}$ molecules are about tens to hundreds of fb, indicating $10^6$ - $10^7$ events from a two-year operation of CEPC, and the expected events from the double-bottom molecules are about 2 - 5 orders of magnitude smaller than the $Z_b$ states. Our results shows great prospects of probing heavy exotic hadrons at CEPC.

description: Berechnungsmethoden mit Berücksichtigung des physikalisch nichtlinearen Verhaltens von Stahlbetonkonstruktionen werden mit Einführung der europäischen und nationalen Normung verstärkten Einsatz in der Tragwerksplanung finden. Hierbei sind im Gegensatz zu linearen Berechnungen zeitliche Aspekte der Tragwerksbeanspruchung zu berücksichtigen. Ein Lösungsansatz zur Beherrschung von Lastfolgeeffekten kann auf der Grundlage der Theorie des adaptiven Tragwerkes abgeleitet werden. Unter Verwendung von Algorithmen der mathematischen Optimierung lassen sich derartige Probleme numerisch lösen. Von besonderem Interesse sind dabei spezielle Formulierungen zur Bestimmung von Grenzwiderständen, die zur Bemessung von Stahlbetontragwerken herangezogen werden können. Im Beitrag werden zwei Konzepte zur numerischen Bestimmung von adaptiven Grenzwiderständen auf der Basis der nichtlinearen Optimierung vorgestellt, diese sind: - Konzept des superponierten Restzustandes - Konzept der gekoppelten plastischen Antwort. Es wird von einem elastisch- plastischen Verhalten der untersuchten Struktur ausgegangen.
