Brefeldin A arrests the maturation and egress of herpes simplex virus particles during infection
Creators: name: Cheung, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) requires the host cell secretory apparatus for the maturation and egress of newly synthesized viral particles. Not only do viral glycoproteins rely on the host ER and Golgi compartments for their proper processing, it is believed that enveloped particles are transported through these same organelles for their export out of the cells. Brefeldin A (BFA) is a compound that induces retrograde movement of material from the Golgi apparatus to the ER and causes the disassembly of the Golgi complex. In this study, the effects of BFA on the propagation of HSV-1 in infected cells were examined. Release of viral particles from infected cells was inhibited by as little as 1 µg/ml BFA. Further analysis revealed that BFA did not affect the normal assembly of viral nucleocapsids, but did block the movement of newly-enveloped particles from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Naked nucleocapsids were found in the cytoplasm of infected cells treated with BFA, however, these particles were neither infectious, nor were they released from the cells. Although BFA altered the distribution of viral glycoproteins in infected cells, this alteration was reversed within 2 hours after the removal of BFA. In contrast, the BFA-induced blockage to viral release was not fully reversed after BFA was removed and cells were allowed to recover in fresh medium for 3 hours. These findings indicate that the BFA-induced retrograde movement of material from the Golgi complex to the ER early in infection arrests the ability of the host cell to support the maturation and egress of enveloped viral particles. Furthermore, exposure of infected cells to BFA during the exponential release phase of the viral life cycle can cause irreversible damage to the egressing particles. This suggests that productive growth of HSV-1 in infected cells relies on a series of events that, once disrupted by agents such as BFA, cannot be easily reconstituted.
Nigun Poems

description: This set of poems grew out of my experiences of listening and finding myself inside nigunim (pl; singular nigun or nign), Chassidic chants—mystical, usually wordless songs used as accompaniment for rituals—weddings, prayers, candle–lightings—collective beckoning of transcendence. The nigun experience is fraught with what Amiri Baraka called, referring to blues, the “re/feeling”—proximity and shape of personal history of encounters with unfathomable. Because most of the nigunim did not have lyrics they were comprised of scat—but a somber sort of a scat: “oi–oi”, “di–dai”, “bah–bom”, etc. Musical instruments were not used to accompany them, either, since most of the singing happened on the Sabbath, when instruments were put away. Rid of accompaniment, rid of lyrics, these stripped down chants were visceral and prayer–like but washed out of content, and filled, instead, with implication—with attempts. At the climax of one of his talks, balancing at the edge of the cognitive void, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov reportedly said: “And even to this, too, there’s an answer. But that answer is necessarily a song.” These poems attempt to reimagine the sensation of locating oneself inside a nigun.

Phase Transitions, Distance Functions, and Implicit Neural Representations

description: Representing surfaces as zero level sets of neural networks recently emerged as a powerful modeling paradigm, named Implicit Neural Representations (INRs), serving numerous downstream applications in geometric deep learning and 3D vision. Training INRs previously required choosing between occupancy and distance function representation and different losses with unknown limit behavior and/or bias. In this paper we draw inspiration from the theory of phase transitions of fluids and suggest a loss for training INRs that learns a density function that converges to a proper occupancy function, while its log transform converges to a distance function. Furthermore, we analyze the limit minimizer of this loss showing it satisfies the reconstruction constraints and has minimal surface perimeter, a desirable inductive bias for surface reconstruction. Training INRs with this new loss leads to state-of-the-art reconstructions on a standard benchmark.

description: Lost Chords: White Musicians and Their Contributions to Jazz, 1915-1945 is fascinating historical criticism, both extremely well written and well re-searched. It is a work that intends to shed light on white and supposedly "forgotten" players of jazz from the pre-bebop era. Its author, Richard M. Sudhalter, sets out to make clear the enormous contributions and talents of these important white musicians. His intention to do so in a balanced way, so as not to cast aspersions on any black musicians, is not wholly successful.

description: There is a nice scene in Annie Hall where Woody Allen’s character, standup Alvy Singer, meets Carol Kane’s character, stage manager Allison Portchnik. Waiting in the wings at a variety show, Singer remonstrates with Portchnik over the scheduling. “What do you mean, ‘next’?” he asks with amazement. “I’m not going after another comedian . . . because they’re laughing . . . so what are you telling me? They’re gonna laugh at him for a couple of minutes then I’ve gotta go out there and get laughs too? How much can they laugh? They’re laughed out!” I know how he feels. Our previous special issue— Experimental Writing about Music, edited by David Gutkin—is impossible to follow. But only in that sense do I relate to Singer: although Experimental Writing has its laugh–out–loud moments, it is also possibly the most ambitious and unique volume of Current Musicology to date. (If you haven’t already, find it at our website or order a hard copy). For the present issue, general operations resume: the articles collected here continue the journal’s unabating commitment to diverse content, high–quality scholarship, and rigorous peer review.

description: For a two-component Fermi gas in the unitarity limit (ie, with infinite scattering length), there is a well-known virial theorem, first shown by J. E. Thomas et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 120402 (2005). A few people rederived this result, and extended it to few-body systems, but their results are all restricted to the unitarity limit. Here I show that there is a generalized virial theorem for FINITE scattering lengths. I also generalize an exact result concerning the pressure, first shown in cond-mat/0508320, to the case of imbalanced populations.

description: Over the last several years, cultural historians have looked to jazz music as a way of talking about national identity. For historians of the United States, the logic is easy to understand. Jazz is, unquestionably, an integral part of the American story. But more importantly, as historians continue to rework the narrative of U.S. history to incorporate the issue of race more completely, jazz must be discussed as a crucial point of connection between whites and blacks in this country. To exclude jazz-not just as a musical form, but as a cultural phenomenon-would be historically inaccurate, and it would give a skewed view of how American national identity has evolved in the twentieth century. Understanding how jazz fits into definitions of European national identity, however, is a bit trickier. In the U.S., the early popularity of jazz challenged views of America as a country with distinctly “white” and “black” or “high” and “low” cultures that rarely ever met, and the music quickly came to be seen as an essential part of American life (Leonard 1962; Levine 1993). In Europe, however, the consequences of jazz’s popularity were more complicated for critics and cultural commentators-for Europeans, jazz was a “foreign” music. Therefore, it not only evoked conflicts about race and the boundaries between “high” and “low” culture (which were already subject to debate by the 1920s), it also raised questions about “Americanization” and the invasion of foreigners at a time when discussions of national identity had been energized by war and propaganda that saw “others” as enemies. Jazz quickly became a part of the “culture wars” of many countries in the 1920s and 1930s as they tried to renegotiate their sense of nationhood. At that moment, war, Depression, changes in international diplomacy, immigration, and the expansion of a global economy where goods and ideas easily crossed borders, all called older definitions of the nation into question. Jazz did not help to make things clearer. As in the U.S., the early debates about jazz in Europe were rarely only about the music itself. Rather, they doubled as complex attempts to reimagine national identity.

description: We present a study of the sensitivity of an International Linear Collider (ILC) to electroweak parameters in the absence of a light Higgs boson. In particular, we consider those parameters that have been inaccessible at previous colliders, quartic gauge couplings. Within a generic effective-field theory context we analyze all processes that contain quasi-elastic weak-boson scattering, using complete six-fermion matrix elements in unweighted event samples, fast simulation of the ILC detector, and a multidimensional parameter fit of the set of anomalous couplings. The analysis does not rely on simplifying assumptions such as custodial symmetry or approximations such as the equivalence theorem. We supplement this by a similar new study of triple weak-boson production, which is sensitive to the same set of anomalous couplings. Including the known results on triple gauge couplings and oblique corrections, we thus quantitatively determine the indirect sensitivity of the ILC to new physics in the electroweak symmetry-breaking sector, conveniently parameterized by real or fictitious resonances in each accessible spin/isospin channel.

In the ancient Chinese context, sound was viewed as a potential register of the moral integrity of the state, as well as a power-ful tool to influence political stability and control. A reference to mimi zhi yin not only signified portentous or threatening sounds, but also served as a tacit reminder that sound is a power that may be harnessed for utilitarian ends.

Analytical and experimental study of flow from a slot into a freestream
Creators: name: Ainslie, Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The fluid mechanics of a jet issuing from a slot into a freestream is studied analytically and experimentally. The analytic study assumes incompressible, inviscid, irrotational flow for both the jet and freestream as well as equal stagnation pressures. The analysis proceeds by means of potential flow theory, using the Helmholtz-Kirchoff method of mapping the physical flow onto a simpler domain. This method examines the relationships between the geometrical and velocity parameters. Theoretical results for the mass flow out of the slot, shape of the streamline which divides the injectant from the mainstream, the coefficient of pressure across the slot, the velocity field across the slot and the coefficient of discharge from the slot are found for various slot angles. The calculated flow rates and coefficients of discharge are compared with data obtained from experiments performed using air flowing from a plenum, through a slot, into a small wind tunnel. The calculated and measured flow rates give similar trends and agree within ±17%. Differences are due to experimental uncertainties and the neglect in the theory of downstream flow separation and subsequent reattachment, upstream boundary layer thickness, or turbulent mixing along the dividing streamline. Despite these differences, the gross influence of the mainstream on the mass flow from the jet compares well. The effect of unequal stagnation pressures in the jet and mainstream is investigated experimentally and found to be smaller than the effect of changing geometry. The general agreement between theory and experiment suggests that pressure effects control the overall flow rate to a large extent and that this model can serve as a skeletal study for slot flow.

RASS-SDSS Galaxy Cluster Survey. VI. The dependence of the cluster SFR on the cluster global properties

description: Using a subsample of 79 nearby clusters from the RASS-SDSS galaxy cluster catalogue of Popesso et al. (2005a), we perform a regression analysis between the cluster integrated star formation rate (Sigma_SFR) the cluster total stellar mass (M_star), the fractions of star forming (f_SF) and blue (f_b) galaxies and other cluster global properties, namely its richness (N_gal, i.e. the total number of cluster members within the cluster virial radius), velocity dispersion (sigma_v), virial mass (M_200), and X-ray luminosity (L_X). All cluster global quantities are corrected for projection effects before the analysis. Galaxy SFRs and stellar masses are taken from the catalog of Brinchmann et al. (2004), which is based on SDSS spectra. We only consider galaxies with M_r <= -20.25 in our analysis, and exclude AGNs. We find that both Sigma_SFR and M_star are correlated with all the cluster global quantities. A partial correlation analysis show that all the correlations are induced by the fundamental one between Sigma_SFR and N_gal, hence there is no evidence that the cluster properties affect the mean SFR or M_star per galaxy. The relations between Sigma_SFR and M_star, on one side, and both N_gal and M_200, on the other side, are linear, i.e. we see no evidence that different clusters have different SFR or different M_star per galaxy and per unit mass. The fraction f_SF does not depend on any cluster property considered, while f_b does depend on L_X. We note that a significant fraction of star-forming cluster galaxies are red (~25% of the whole cluster galaxy population). We conclude that the global cluster properties are unable to affect the SF properties of cluster galaxies, but the presence of the X-ray luminous intra-cluster medium can affect their colors, perhaps through the ram-pressure stripping mechanism.

description: We present Gemini optical spectroscopy of three young star clusters in the western tidal tail of NGC3256. Compact star clusters (as opposed to dwarf-galaxy candidates) in tidal tails are rare, with these three clusters the first for which detailed quantitative spectroscopy has ever been obtained. We find that two of these clusters appear to be coeval, while the third is approximately two times older~200 Myr vs.~80 Myr). All three clusters are massive (1-3 x 10^5 msun) and appear to be of roughly solar metallicity. Additionally, the three clusters appear to be relatively large (R_eff = 10-20 pc), possibly reflecting weak compression at the time of formation and/or the weak influence of the tidal field of the galaxy. All three clusters have velocities consistent with the general trend of the HI velocities in the tidal tail. We conclude that if the loosely bound tail material of NGC 3256 gets stripped during future interactions of this galaxy within its group, these three clusters may become part of the intra-group medium.

description: We present a numerical scheme for the solution of nonlinear mixed-dimensional PDEs describing coupled processes in embedded tubular network system in exchange with a bulk domain. Such problems arise in various biological and technical applications such as in the modeling of root-water uptake, heat exchangers, or geothermal wells. The nonlinearity appears in form of solution-dependent parameters such as pressure-dependent permeability or temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. We derive and analyse a numerical scheme based on distributing the bulk-network coupling source term by a smoothing kernel with local support. By the use of local analytical solutions, interface unknowns and fluxes at the bulk-network interface can be accurately reconstructed from coarsely resolved numerical solutions in the bulk domain. Numerical examples give confidence in the robustness of the method and show the results in comparison to previously published methods. The new method outperforms these existing methods in accuracy and efficiency. In a root water uptake scenario, we accurately estimate the transpiration rate using only a few thousand 3D mesh cells and a structured cube grid whereas other state-of-the-art numerical schemes require millions of cells and local grid refinement to reach comparable accuracy.

A Psychological Approach to Musical Form: The Habituation–Fluency Theory of Repetition

description: With the possible exception of dance and meditation, there appears to be nothing else in common human experience that is comparable to music in its repetitiveness (Kivy 1993; Ockelford 2005; Margulis 2013). Narrative artifacts like movies, novels, cartoon strips, stories, and speeches have much less internal repetition. Even poetry is less repetitive than music. Occasionally, architecture can approach music in repeating some elements, but only some- times. There appears to be no visual analog to the sort of trance–inducing music that can engage listeners for hours. Although dance and meditation may be more repetitive than music, dance is rarely performed in the absence of music, and meditation tellingly relies on imagining a repeated sound or mantra (Huron 2006: 267). Repetition can be observed in music from all over the world (Nettl 2005). In much music, a simple “strophic” pattern is evident in which a single phrase or passage is repeated over and over. When sung, it is common for successive repetitions to employ different words, as in the case of strophic verses. However, it is also common to hear the same words used with each repetition.

description: Decentralized conflict resolution for autonomous vehicles is needed in many places where a centralized method is not feasible, e.g., parking lots, rural roads, merge lanes, etc. However, existing methods generally do not fully utilize optimization in decentralized conflict resolution. We propose a decentralized conflict resolution method for autonomous vehicles based on a novel extension to the Alternating Directions Method of Multipliers (ADMM), called Online Adaptive ADMM (OA-ADMM), and on Model Predictive Control (MPC). OA-ADMM is tailored to online systems, where fast and adaptive real-time optimization is crucial, and allows the use of safety information about the physical system to improve safety in real-time control. We prove convergence in the static case and give requirements for online convergence. Combining OA-ADMM and MPC allows for robust decentralized motion planning and control that seamlessly integrates decentralized conflict resolution. The effectiveness of our proposed method is shown through simulations in CARLA, an open-source vehicle simulator, resulting in a reduction of 47.93% in mean added delay compared with the next best method.

description: “Thank God for Japan! It’s turning out to be a second Nevada” (209). These words of an American booking agent in the 1960s capture some of the paradoxes of jazz in Japan. On one hand, it is a jazz paradise-where else can one find jazz coffee shops (jazu kissa) that prohibit talking, but offer patrons the opportunity to listen to extensive record collections over state-of-the-art speakers? And the Japanese are not only fans. Some of japan’s jazz musicians have achieved success in the international jazz world, notably pianist Akiyoshi Toshiko, who in 1980 received three top awards from Down Beat magazine. But still, for many musicians and commentators in the West (and for some in Japan as well) there persists the enduring image that Japanese jazzers, both the fans and the musicians alike, are somewhat akin to the faux Venetian canals in Las Vegas. Aren’t they trying to be something they cannot be?

Experiencing Alba Tressina’s Anima mea liquefacta est through Bodily Humors and the Sacred Erotic
Creators: name: Johnson, Lindsay
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2013

description: In this article, I situate Tressina’s Anima mea liquefacta est (1622) at the nexus of Renaissance and Early Modern intellectual and religious frameworks. I demonstrate the ways in which it connects with the sacred erotic, a major component of European religious thought in the seventeenth century, and Galenic humorism, which by the end of the Renaissance had regained popularity. Through close reading of Tressina’s composition, I explore the artistic and cultural celebration of the sacred erotic and its offshoot, liquid eros, as well as the link between humorism and musical performance. Finally, I analyze Anima mea with respect to humorism, mapping Galen’s four humors and their cultural connotations line by line onto the piece itself in order to more fully appreciate the associations between sacred eroticism, the psychology and emotion of performance, and the physical bodies of the nuns who performed this music. Tressina’s compositions employ many conventions of sacred polyphonic music popular in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Such pre–existing conventions function as a shorthand version of collectively agreed–upon cultural meanings, performing cultural work that is easily recognizable to a wide variety of listeners living in a common time, society, and geographic area. By linking Anima mea to prevailing ideas about the body and its connection with the Divine, I demonstrate the extent to which Tressina interacted with and contributed to her artistic and political communities—not cut off from society, as many in the church hierarchy expected from a cloistered nun, but very much a part of it.

description: Based on the quantitative complementarity relations, we analyze thoroughly the properties of multipartite quantum correlations and entanglement in four-qubit pure states. We find that, unlike the three-qubit case, the single residual correlation, the genuine three- and four-qubit correlations are not suited to quantify entanglement. More interestingly, from our qualitative and numerical analysis, it is conjectured that the sum of all the residual correlations may constitute a good measure for the total multipartite entanglement in the system.

When we return outside, do we not want that slightly far-away look in our eyes, that secret smile that says that whilst we were in the theater we were not just in the theater? Do we not desire to be able to feel that we “lost ourselves” and yet, at the same time, were able to find the person we had lost in the first place, the person whose disappearance instigated our being drawn toward art: in other words, ourselves?

description: Sulfur is a volatile chemical element that plays an important role in tracing the chemical evolution of galaxies. However, its nucleosynthesis origin and abundance variations are still unclear. The goal of the present article is to accurately and precisely study the S-content of large number of stars located in the solar neighbourhood. We use the parametrisation of thousands of HR stellar spectra provided by the AMBRE Project, and combine it with the automated abundance determination GAUGUIN to derive LTE sulfur abundances for 1855 slow-rotating FGK-type stars. This is the largest and most precise catalogue of S-abundances published to date. It covers a metallicity domain as high as ~2.5dex starting at [M/H]~-2.0dex. We find that the [S/M] abundances ratio is compatible with a plateau-like distribution in the metal-poor regime, and then starts to decrease continuously at [M/H]~-1.0dex. This decrease continues towards negative values for supersolar metallicity stars as recently reported for Mg and as predicted by Galactic chemical evolution models. Moreover, sulfur-rich stars having [M/H] in the range [-1.0,-0.5] have very different kinematical and orbital properties with respect to more metal-rich and sulfur-poor ones. Two disc components, associated with the thin and thick discs, are thus seen independently in kinematics and sulfur abundances. The sulfur radial gradients in the Galactic discs have also been estimated. Finally, the enrichment in sulfur with respect to iron is nicely correlated with stellar ages: older metal-poor stars have higher [S/M] ratios than younger metal-rich ones. This work has confirmed that sulfur is an alfa-element that could be considered to explore the Galactic populations properties.

“A Disturbing Lack of Musical and Stylistic Continuity”? Elliott Carter, Charles Ives, and Musical Borrowing
Creators: name: Thurmaier, David
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2013

description: Elliott Carter and Charles Ives shared a complex personal and professional relationship. Ives supported Carter’s musical pursuits as a young man and remained a guiding influence throughout his career. As Jan Swafford writes, however, “Carter, whose mature music would owe a great deal to Ives . . . would pay back his mentor with a baffling mixture of admiration, advocacy, and cold repudiation” (Swafford 1998: 334). Although he eventually softened his early criticism of Ives and acknowledged his musical debts, Carter was consistently puzzled by the stress in Ives’s music on musical borrowing—i.e., the procedures by which a composer includes material from or refers to pre–existing musical pieces in the context of an original work. As Carter put it, Ives’s reliance on quotations accounted for “a disturbing lack of musical and stylistic continuity” (Perlis 1974: 145). On another occasion, Carter described Ives’s inclusion of popular songs and hymns as “constantly perplexing” (Edwards 1971: 63). In view of these and numerous other statements, it is equally perplexing that Carter borrows from Ives’s music on several occasions, most overtly in his 2001 Figment No. 2 (Remembering Mr. Ives) for solo cello. This composition contains literal snippets and gestures from, as well as stylistic allusions to, two Ives pieces: the Concord Sonata and Hallowe’en. In what follows, I explore the ways in which Carter borrows from Ives both literally and figuratively; how he incorporates those quotations into his music; and how he evokes Ives’s memory and musical style in several works.

Non-Adiabatic Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics with Spin Mapping Variables

description: We present a new non-adiabatic ring polymer molecular dynamics (NRPMD) method based on the spin mapping formalism, which we refer to as the spin-mapping NRPMD (SM-NRPMD) approach. We derive the path-integral partition function expression using the spin coherent state basis for the electronic states and the ring polymer formalism for the nuclear degrees of freedom (DOFs). This partition function provides an efficient sampling of the quantum statistics. Using the basic property of the Stratonovich-Weyl transformation, we derive a Hamiltonian which we propose for the dynamical propagation of the coupled spin mapping variables and the nuclear ring polymer. The accuracy of the SM-NRPMD method is numerically demonstrated by computing nuclear position and population auto-correlation functions of non-adiabatic model systems. The results from SM-NRPMD agree very well with the numerically exact results. The main advantage of using the spin mapping variables over the harmonic oscillator mapping variables is numerically demonstrated, where the former provides nearly time-independent expectation values of physical observables for systems under thermal equilibrium, the latter can not preserve the initial quantum Boltzmann distribution. We also explicitly demonstrate that SM-NRPMD provides invariant dynamics upon various ways of partitioning the state-dependent and state-independent potentials.
Review of Heather Wiebe. 2012. Britten’s Unquiet Pasts: Sound and Memory in Postwar Reconstruction. New York: Cambridge University Press
Creators: name: Penner, Nina
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2013

description: Britten as a public figure. Britten as a composer of music for children, amateurs, and the church. These are sides of Britten’s legacy that have attracted little scholarly attention prior to Heather Wiebe’s recent monograph Britten’s Unquiet Pasts: Sound and Memory in Postwar Reconstruction. More familiar is Britten as a composer of opera and art song, and as a man “at odds with . . . society” (Pears 1983: 152).1 Although anticipating the Britten centenary by one year, Britten’s Unquiet Pasts is much in keeping with the spirit of other Britten publications to be released this year, not least Paul Kildea’s (2013) biography. What emerges from these new perspectives is a more complex view of Britten, both as an artist whose breadth of work defies easy classification, and as a man with changing and often conflicting impulses towards his envisaged role in society.

Casimir-Polder forces from density matrix formalism

description: We use the density matrix formalism in order to calculate the energy level shifts, in second order on interaction, of an atom in the presence of a perfectly conducting wall in the dipole approximation. The thermal corrections are also examined when $\hbar ω_0/k_B T = k_0 λ_T \gg 1$, where ${$ω_0=k_0 c$}$ is the dominant transition frequency of the atom and $λ_T$ is the thermal length. When the distance $z$ between the atom and the wall is larger than $λ_T$ we find the well known result obtained from Lifshitz's formula, whose leading term is proportional to temperature and is independent of $c$, $\hbar$ and $k_0$. In the short distance limit, when $z\llλ_T$, only very small corrections to the leading vacuum term occur. We also show, for all distance regimes, that the main thermal corrections are independent of $k_0$ (dispersion is not important) and dependent of $c$, which means that there is not a non-retarded regime for the thermal contributions.

Review of Charles M. Joseph. 2011. Stravinsky’s Ballets. New Haven: Yale University Press.
Creators: name: Sterbenz, Maeve
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2013

description: Charles M. Joseph’s recent monograph explores an important subset of Stravinsky’s complete oeuvre, namely his works for dance. One of the aims of the book is to stress the importance of dance for Stravinsky throughout his career as a source of inspiration that at times significantly shaped his development as a composer. Joseph offers richly contextualized and detailed pictures of Stravinsky’s ballets, ones that will be extremely useful for both dance and music scholars. While he isolates each work, several themes run through Joseph’s text. Among the most important are Stravinsky’s self–positioning as simultaneously Russian and cosmopolitan; and Stravinsky’s successes in collaboration, through which he was able to create fully integrated ballets that elevated music’s traditionally subservient role in relation to choreography.

I Am/Was the Walrus

description: For most of his adult life, John Lennon fought to define himself against his public identity as "Beatle-:John." That image, crafted by the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein and the pop music industry became a burden to all four of the Beatles during the group's seven years of international star-dom. In place of the rough leather-clad rock and roll band that played rambling one hour sets in the Hamburg Kaiserkeller and the Liverpool Cavern Club during 1960-61, Epstein forged a more commercially viable group of four well (and uniformly) dressed young men whose stage act was reduced to twenty minute carefully scripted sets.

Review of Eva Rieger. 2011. Richard Wagner’s Women. Translated by Chris Walton; and Laurence Dreyfus. 2010. Wagner and the Erotic Impulse.
Creators: name: Coleman, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2013

description: The anniversary commemoration of great artistic figures would be incomplete without a survey of the scholarly landscape. So in the year of Richard Wagner’s bicentenary, the publication of new books shows no sign of abating, and nor should it, when there is still so much to be said about this most controversial of composers. But many of the literary products that pass for Wagner scholarship are still beset by popular assumption, blind deference, and trite dismissal, imposing a dead weight that threatens to smother the critical spark that alone can do Wagner justice and demonstrate his startling relevance. It is in this spirit that the present article will individually review two recent publications on gender and sexuality in Wagner, and finally compare them and reflect on wider scholarly trends and possibilities.

Quasinormal mode characterization of evaporating mini black holes

description: According to recent theoretical developments, it might be possible to produce mini black holes in the high energy experiments in the LHC at CERN. We propose here a model based on the $n$-dimensional Vaidya metric in double null coordinates for these decaying black holes. The associated quasinormal modes are considered. It is shown that only in the very last instants of the evaporation process the stationary regime for the quasinormal modes is broken, implying specific power spectra for the perturbations around these mini black-holes. From scattered fields one could recover, in principle, the black hole parameters as well as the number of extra dimensions. The still mysterious final fate of such objects should not alter significantly our main conclusions.

Local Critic Training for Model-Parallel Learning of Deep Neural Networks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: In this paper, we propose a novel model-parallel learning method, called local critic training, which trains neural networks using additional modules called local critic networks. The main network is divided into several layer groups and each layer group is updated through error gradients estimated by the corresponding local critic network. We show that the proposed approach successfully decouples the update process of the layer groups for both convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). In addition, we demonstrate that the proposed method is guaranteed to converge to a critical point. We also show that trained networks by the proposed method can be used for structural optimization. Experimental results show that our method achieves satisfactory performance, reduces training time greatly, and decreases memory consumption per machine.
