Silencing the Martyr in Second Isaiah’s Suffering Servant
Creators: Estes, Elizabeth Colmant
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Liberation theology
Biblical interpretation
Theology

description: The history of interpretation of Isaiah’s fourth or suffering servant song, Isaiah 52:13 to 53:12, illustrates how the Reformation tenet that Christ’s crucifixion provides redemption from sin suppressed two key gospel messages: 1) A call to acknowledge and repent the sin of our complicity in unjust persecution;
2) A call to join in social solidarity with people who are unjustly persecuted, by risking our own security to help them. In Christianity's first centuries, Origen of Alexandria’s interpretation recalled Jewish martyrs such as Eleazar in Maccabees and it is supported by the work of modern scholars including Stephen Patterson and Benjamin Sommer. However, when Martin Luther and John Calvin systematized Reformed theology, and their adherents formalized Reformed doctrine, a spiritualized, all-powerful, redeeming Christ replaced the very human martyr at the center of this text. Jesuit theologian Jon Sobrino’s interpretation is based on El Salvador’s martyrs in the 1980’s and echoes the themes of 20th and 21st century black liberation theology as propounded by James Cone and found in the essays of James Baldwin. Portions of the Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism and Cannons of Dort are considered. In its conclusion, this paper proposes that reintegrating a martyrology at the heart of Reformed Christianity would improve its faithfulness to this and related biblical texts.
Silencing “Breaking the Silence”: The Israeli government’s agenda respecting human rights NGOs activism since 2009

description: This research examines a key aspect in the deterioration of Israeli democracy between 2009-2018. Mainly, it looks at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Right-wing governments utilization of legislative procedure to limit the right to free speech. The aspects of the right to free speech discussed here pertain to dissenting and critical activism against these government’s policies. The suppression of said right is manifested in the marginalization, delegitimization and ultimately silencing of its expression in Human Rights NGOs activism. To demonstrate this, the research presents a case study of one such NGO –“Breaking the Silence”–and the legal and political actions designed to cause its eventual ousting from mainstream Israeli discourse. The research focuses on the importance and uniqueness of this NGO, as well as the ways in which the government perceives and acts against it. First, it analyzes the NGO’s history, modus operandi and goals, emphasizing the uniqueness that makes it a particularly fascinating case. Then, it researches the government’s specific interest in crippling and limiting its influence. Finally, it highlights the government’s toolbox and utilization thereof against it. By shining a light on this case, the research seeks to show the process of watering down of a fundamental right within Israeli democracy –which is instrumental to understanding the state’s risk of decline towards illiberal democracy.
Foundations and their practical implications for the constitutive coefficients of poromechanical dual-continuum models

description: A dual-continuum model can offer a practical approach to understanding first-order behaviours of poromechanically coupled multiscale systems. To close the governing equations, constitutive equations with models to calculate effective constitutive coefficients are required. Several coefficient models have been proposed within the literature. However, a holistic overview of the different modelling concepts is still missing. To address this we first compare and contrast the dominant models existing within the literature. In terms of the constitutive relations themselves, early relations were indirectly postulated that implicitly neglected the effect of the mechanical interaction arising between continuum pressures. Further, recent users of complete constitutive systems that include inter-continuum pressure coupling have explicitly neglected these couplings as a means of providing direct relations between composite and constituent properties, and to simplify coefficient models. Within the framework of micromechanics, we show heuristically that these explicit decouplings are in fact coincident with bounds on the effective parameters themselves. Depending on the formulation, these bounds correspond to end-member states of isostress or isostrain. We show the impacts of using constitutive coefficient models, decoupling assumptions and parameter bounds on poromechanical behaviours using analytical solutions for a 2D model problem. Based on the findings herein, we offer recommendations for how and when to use different coefficient modelling concepts.

Silent Harmony: Music and Time in Wordsworth's Prelude

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1988
Subjects: English literature
Senses and sensation in literature
Music in literature

description: Sensual imagery has been discussed by many of Wordsworth's critics, but although they might mention "the tyranny of the ear" as closely associated with "the tyranny of the eye," they tend to emphasize visual rather than audible imagery. The poet of The Prelude, however, is "now all eye/And now all ear" in the presence of nature, giving equal emphasis to both seeing and hearing, or looking and listening. Entering The Prelude by examining the imagery associated with the ear, beginning with the many musical allusions and metaphors enhances one's appreciation of Wordsworth's imagery by opening the door to the rich category of sound. Because sound is a temporal experience, an exploration of Wordsworth's audible imagery elucidates both his ideal of time and his real-life experience of it. Having identified Wordsworth's situation with respect to time by close reading of passages alive with a great range of sounds, one can step back and use this newly gained perspective--along with some applicable concepts from musicology--to find meaning in the poem's confusing overall structure.

description: The first of paper provides an econometric estimates of the relationship between temperature and maternal mortality in the U.S. Exploiting the year-to-year variation in temperature within states, I use a semiparametic estimation strategy to capture non-linear effects in mortality risks at extreme temperatures. Whereas most of the existing literature uses dry-bulb (thermometer) temperature, I use wet-bulb temperature, a metric that accounts for both temperature and humidity. The analysis shows that an additional day with an average wet-bulb temperature above of 80°F (about 95°F with 50% relative humidity) is associated with roughly 2.2 additional maternal deaths per 100,000 births. These estimates suggest that climate change may generate up to an additional 3,700 maternal deaths per year by 2090 as a result of very hot and humid days. In the second paper, we examined the impact of a model that accelerates developmental math coursework in community colleges so that students can complete dev-ed and college math courses in their programs of study within one year. Using data from Texas and a propensity score matching approach, we tested the impact of the model on several college milestones. Results suggest that students in the accelerated model were more likely to persist and accumulate college-level credits during the first year than those in traditional dev-ed math. After three years, there was a strong positive relationship between participation in the accelerated model and important college milestones, like college math course completion and total accumulated college-level credits. The third paper estimates the relationship between temperature and maternal mortality in a developing region. Similar to the first paper, I study the effects of extreme temperatures on maternal mortality using wet bulb temperature. I find that, relative to day in a comfortable temperature range, an additional day with an average wet-bulb temperature above of 85°F is associated with roughly 0.61 additional maternal deaths per 100,000 births. An analysis of future warming due to climate change shows there may be as many as 6000 additional maternal deaths between 2050 and 2090 due to changes in temperature, especially additional hot and humid days

description: Das Ziel der Arbeit ist es, durch Untersuchungen von historischen Prägestempeln für Münzen und Medaillen Abhängigkeiten zwischen der Zusammensetzung und den Materialeigenschaften herauszufinden. Neben der historischen Fragestellung gewinnt eine solche Analytik auch in der modernen Stahl- und Gusseisen-Herstellung zunehmend an Bedeutung.
Von besonderem Interesse sind die Gehalte und Verteilungen von Kohlenstoff und Spurenelementen. Unter Spurenelementen sind insbesondere solche Elemente zu verstehen, die trotz geringer Konzentration (bis etwa 0,5 Gewichtsprozente) erhebliche Auswirkungen auf mechanische Eigenschaften von Stahl- bzw. Gussbauteilen aufweisen.
Interessant ist dabei vor allem die Untersuchung von Materialien für historische Münzprägewerkzeuge, da diese einen bisher nur wenig untersuchten Gegenstand der Forschung darstellen. Ihre Untersuchung kann Informationen über Schadensursachen an Prägestempeln und ihren historischen Ursprüngen liefern.
Die besondere Herausforderung bei der Charakterisierung dieser Werkzeuge liegt im Wert der Objekte und der sehr begrenzten Zugänglichkeit von Exemplaren für eine zerstörende Analytik begründet. Aus diesen Gründen müssen vorwiegend lokal hochauflösende, zerstörungsfreie und empfindliche Bestimmungsverfahren eingesetzt bzw. Untersuchungen an geringsten Probenmengen durchgeführt werden.

description: The dynamics of generic stochastic Lotka-Volterra (discrete logistic) systems of the form \cite{Solomon96a} $w_i (t+1) = λ(t) w_i (t) + a {\bar w (t)} - b w_i (t) {\bar w(t)}$ is studied by computer simulations. The variables $w_i$, $i=1,...N$, are the individual system components and ${\bar w (t)} = {1\over N} \sum_i w_i (t)$ is their average. The parameters $a$ and $b$ are constants, while $λ(t)$ is randomly chosen at each time step from a given distribution. Models of this type describe the temporal evolution of a large variety of systems such as stock markets and city populations. These systems are characterized by a large number of interacting objects and the dynamics is dominated by multiplicative processes. The instantaneous probability distribution $P(w,t)$ of the system components $w_i$, turns out to fulfill a (truncated) Pareto power-law $P(w,t) \sim w^{-1-α}$. The time evolution of ${\bar w (t)} $ presents intermittent fluctuations parametrized by a truncated Lévy distribution of index $α$, showing a connection between the distribution of the $w_i$'s at a given time and the temporal fluctuations of their average.

description: Silicon photonics is emerging as a promising platform for manufacturing and integrating photonic devices for light generation, modulation, switching and detection. The compatibility with existing CMOS microelectronic foundries and high index contrast in silicon could enable low cost and high performance photonic systems, which find many applications in optical communication, data center networking and photonic network-on-chip. This thesis first develops and demonstrates several experimental work on high speed silicon modulators and switches with record performance and novel functionality. A 8x40 Gb/s transmitter based on silicon microrings is first presented. Then an end-to-end link using microrings for Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation and demodulation is shown, and its performance with conventional BPSK modulation/ demodulation techniques is compared. Next, a silicon traveling-wave Mach- Zehnder modulator is demonstrated at data rate up to 56 Gb/s for OOK modulation and 48 Gb/s for BPSK modulation, showing its capability at high speed communication systems. Then a single silicon microring is shown with 2x2 full crossbar switching functionality, enabling optical interconnects with ultra small footprint. Then several other experiments in the silicon platform are presented, including a fully integrated in-band Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) monitor, characterization of optical power upper bound in a silicon microring modulator, and wavelength conversion in a dispersion-engineered waveguide. The last part of this thesis is on network-level application of photonics, specically a broadcast-and-select network based on star coupler is introduced, and its scalability performance is studied. Finally a novel switch architecture for data center networks is discussed, and its benefits as a disaggregated network are presented.

description: Data communication is a critical component of modern technology in our society. There is an increasing reliance on information being at our fingers tips and we expect a low-latency, high-bandwidth connection to deliver entertainment or enhanced productivity. In order to serve this demand, communications devices are being pressed for smaller form factors, higher data throughput, lower power consumption and lower cost. Similar demands exist in a number of applications including metro/long-haul telecommunications, shorter datacenter links and supercomputing. Silicon photonics promises to be a technology that will solve some of the difficulties with improving communication devices. Building photonics in silicon allows for reuse of the same fabrication technology that is used by the CMOS electronics industry, potentially allowing for large volumes, high yields and low costs. Part I of this thesis details the design of components needed in a high-speed silicon photonic platform to meet the current challenges for high-speed communications. The author’s work in modeling photodetectors resulted in improving photodetector bandwidth from 30 GHz to 67 GHz, the fastest reported at the time of publication. Details regarding the optimization and test of modulators are also presented with the first-reported 50 Gbps modulator at 1310-nm. A large scale parallel channel demonstration of high-speed silicon photonics is then presented showing the potential scalability for silicon photonics systems. A full transceiver requires a number of components other than the photodetector and modulator that are the core active pieces of a silicon photonics platform. Part II includes work on the design and test of silicon photonic components providing functionality beyond the photodetector and modulator. A novel design integrating Metal-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MESFETs) into a silicon photonics platform without process change is shown. This integration enables enhanced control functionality with minimal overhead. The critical final piece for a silicon photonics platform, adding a light source, is demonstrated along with performance results of the resulting tunable, extended C-band laser. In Part III, previous work on an enhanced silicon photonics platform with complementary components is used to build a high-speed integrated coherent link and then tested with a silicon photonics-based tunable laser. The transceiver was shown to operate at 34 Gbaud dual-polarization 16-QAM for a total of 272 Gbps over a single channel. This was the first published demonstration of an integrated coherent where all of the optics were built in a silicon photonics platform.

The matter part of the action contains several scalar fields and antisymmetric forms. With Ricci-flat internal spaces, the model has a midisuperspace representation in form of a sigma-model on M_0. The latter can be used to determine exact composite electric p-brane solutions, which depend on a set of harmonic functions on M_0.

description: We discuss a possible generalization of the Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence to a more general class of manifolds. Specifically we consider the Fermat type hypersurfaces $M_N^k$: $\sum_{i=1}^N X_i^k =0$ in ${\bf CP}^{N-1}$ for various values of k and N. When k2. We assume that this massless sector is described by a Landau-Ginzburg (LG) theory of central charge $c=3N(1-2/k)$ with N chiral fields with U(1) charge $1/k$. We compute the topological invariants (elliptic genera) using LG theory and massive vacua and compare them with the geometrical data. We find that the results agree if and only if k=even and N=even. These are the cases when the hypersurfaces have a spin structure. Thus we find an evidence for the geometry/LG correspondence in the case of spin manifolds.

description: Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems, which use silicon as an optical medium. Data is transferred in the systems by optical rays. This technology is seen as the substitutions of electric computer chips in the future and the means to keep tack on the Moore’s law.
      Cavity optomechanics is a rising field of silicon photonics. It focuses on the interaction between light and mechanical objects. Although it is currently at its early stage of growth, this field has attracted rising attention. Here, we present highly sensitive optical detection of acceleration using an optomechanical accelerometer. The core part of this accelerometer is a slot-type photonic crystal cavity with strong optomechanical interactions. We first discuss theoretically the optomechanical coupling in the air-slot mode-gap photonic crystal cavity. The dispersive coupling gom is numerically calculated. Dynamical parametric oscillations for both cooling and amplification, in the resolved and unresolved sideband limit, are examined numerically, along with the displacement spectral density and cooling rates for the various operating parameters. Experimental results also demonstrated that the cavity has a large optomechanical coupling rate. The optically induced spring effect, damping and amplification of the mechanical modes are observed with measurements both in air and in vacuum. Then, we propose and demonstrate our optomechanical accelerometer. It can operate with a resolution of 730 ng/Hz¹/² (or equivalently 40.1 aN/Hz¹/²) and with a transduction bandwidth of ≈ 85 kHz.
      We also demonstrate an integrated photonics device, an on-chip spectroscopy, in the last part of this thesis. This new type of on-chip microspectrometer is based on the Vernier effect of two cascaded micro-ring cavities. It can measure optical spectrum with a bandwidth of 74nm and a resolution of 0.22 nm in a small footprint of 1.5 mm².

description: From 1960 to 1990 the former Soviet-German Wismut company milled uranium ore and processed a total of about 110,000 t of uranium at the Seelingstädt mill in Thuringia, Germany. In total about 104 million m³ of mill tailings were disposed into tailings ponds Trünzig and Culmitzsch. Since 1990 both tailings ponds have been dry-decommissioned in situ. The Trünzig tailings pond is being final covered and vegetated while the Culmitzsch tailings pond is currently being interim covered and re-contoured. In 2010 Wismut filed an application for a planning approval under water law for connecting the surface runoff from the Trünzig tailings pond to the receiving streams. In addition Wismut prepared a conceptual design for implementing the runoff from the Culmitzsch tailings pond into the regional catchment area. The paper presents the actual remediation status achieved for final covering, vegetation and runoff diversion from concepts to realization and provides an outlook to future permitting procedures and remediation at the sites foreseen to be completed by 2022.

description: Although we have convincing evidence that a black hole bears an entropy proportional to its surface (horizon) area, the ``statistical mechanical'' explanation of this entropy remains unknown. Two basic questions in this connection are: what is the microscopic origin of the entropy, and why does the law of entropy increase continue to hold when the horizon entropy is included? After a review of some of the difficulties in answering these questions, I propose an explanation of the law of entropy increase which comes near to a proof in the context of the ``semi-classical'' approximation, and which also provides a proof in full quantum gravity under the assumption that the latter fulfills certain natural expectations, like the existence of a conserved energy definable at infinity. This explanation seems to require a fundamental spacetime discreteness in order for the entropy to be consistently finite, and I recall briefly some of the ideas for what the discreteness might be. If such ideas are right, then our knowledge of the horizon entropy will allow us to ``count the atoms of spacetime''.

description: Der folgende Beitrag ist der Versuch, aus der münzkundlichen und münzgeschichtlichen Literatur eine Vorstellung zu gewinnen, wie zwischen 1500 und 1850 Münzen hergestellt und dabei handarbeitliche Prozesse durch maschinelle abgelöst worden sind. Ausgangsbasis dafür ist eine langjährige Beschäftigung mit der Geschichte der Fertigungstechnik, vor allem mit dem industriellen Maschinenbau zwischen 1800 und 1950. Sie führte von der Entwicklung spanabhebender Werkzeugmaschinen zu Problemen der Massenfertigung, des Werkzeugbaus und der Blechbearbeitung und zu den trennenden und umformenden Werkzeugmaschinen. Dabei geriet fast zwangsläufig die frühneuzeitliche Münztechnik in den Blick, eine frühe Form der Massenfertigung, in der Maschinen entstanden sind die später in der industriellen Blechverarbeitung eine wichtige Rolle spielen sollten.
Der Beitrag versteht sich als Skizze, die die handarbeitlichen und maschinellen Verfahren technologisch umreißen und bewerten will. Die thermochemischen Prozesse des Legierens und Schmelzens von Münzmetall bleiben dabei außen vor. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Prozesse der Formgebung, denn nur sie sind seit etwa 1500 von einer Maschinisierung betroffen. Wärmebehandlungen und Reinigungsvorgänge werden gestreift, wenn sie für die Formgebung wichtig gewesen sind. Außerdem wird versucht, die Münzherstellung in größeren technikhistorischen Zusammenhängen zu sehen, etwa durch einen kurzen Vergleich mit dem fast zeitgleich entstandenen Buchdruck oder durch einen Blick auf die im 19. Jahrhundert sich entfaltende industrielle Blechverarbeitung.

Tenthredo acutiscutis

description: Tenthredo acutiscutis Konow, 1908
A valid species, Tenthredo (Olivacedo) acutiscutis Konow, 1908.
Types. Tenthredo acutiscutis Konow, 1908: 22. Syntypes ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated (MNCN_Ent 100183, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8119, Fig. 05, see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.746991). Type locality: India, Sikkim. Paralectotype ♀, same data as lectotype (SDEI, http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/ m9.figshare.775349).
Discussion. Konow had more than one syntype to hand (he gave a body size range). Malaise (1945: 237, plate XV) considered the syntype in the SDEI to be a paratype, and labeled it accordingly. Saini also examined this specimen, and supposed the holotype and a paratype to be in the SDEI (Saini 2007). The apex of the abdomen of the paralectotype is missing. This species, hitherto unplaced within Tenthredo, belongs to the subgenus Olivacedo Zhelochovtsev, 1988.

Black Holes of Negative Mass

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: I demonstrate that, under certain circumstances, regions of negative energy density can undergo gravitational collapse into a black hole. The resultant exterior black hole spacetimes necessarily have negative mass and non-trivial topology. A full theory of quantum gravity, in which topology-changing processes take place, could give rise to such spacetimes.

description: In the time of the European accession, Romanian mental health witnessed a window of opportunity in developing international projects that aim at the improvement of the public sector of care. The article will present a brief historical background of these collaborations, as well as the content and status of progress of two Twinning Projects that focus on improving of mental health care and on implementing of training programs in the field. The outcomes of these projects, due to end in late 2009, will allow the Romanian Ministry of Public Health to have a solid ground for policy change and in supporting modern, integrated, service development.
Questa rock-pile weathering study : geotechnical characterization
Creators: name: Van Zyl, Dirk J. A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Questa Weathering and Stability Study that was commissioned by Molycorp, Inc. (now Chevron Mining Inc., CMI) included extensive geotechnical characterization of the rock pile and analog materials. For the most part the Questa rock piles are matrix supported. This paper provides a summary of the geotechnical characterization results obtained during the research project. It provides summary level information and compares the summary statistics, especially the coefficients of variation, obtained for the results with those from previous studies as compiled in the literature. The results show that the variability as expressed by the coefficients of variation obtained for the Questa study is similar to those in the literature. These consistent results show that the geotechnical characteristics of the Questa materials do not contain significant “outliers”. Furthermore, the characteristics are consistent between rock piles so that all the data can be combined into one set of data for evaluation. It is expected that the friction angle will not reduce significantly with time as the rock piles age because geochemical evaluations concluded that new clay minerals will not form in the rock piles in the 100 to 1000 year timeframe. While weathering products may result in the deposition of cementation in the matrix it is not expected that this will result in measurable effects on the c-parameter.

Field-theoretical construction of currents and superpotentials in Lovelock gravity
Creators: name: Petrov, A. N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Conserved currents and related superpotentials for perturbations on arbitrary backgrounds in the Lovelock theory are constructed. We use the Lagrangian based field-theoretical method where perturbations are considered as dynamical fields propagating on a given background. Such a formulation is exact (not approximate) and equivalent to the theory in the original metric form. From the very start, using Noether theorem, we derive the Noether-Klein identities and adopt them for the purposes of the current work. Applying these identities in the framework of Lovelock theory, we construct conserved currents, energy-momentum tensors out of them, and related superpotentials with arbitrary displacement vectors, not restricting to Killing vectors. A comparison with the well known Abbott-Deser-Tekin approach is given. The developed general formalism is applied to give conserved quantities for perturbations on anti-de Sitter (AdS) backgrounds. As a test we calculate mass of the Schwarzschild-AdS black hole in the Lovelock theory in arbitrary $D$ dimensions. Proposals for future applications are presented.

description: We examine the Schrodinger algebra in the framework of Berezin quantization. First, the Heisenberg-Weyl and sl(2) algebras are studied. Then the Berezin representation of the Schrodinger algebra is computed. In fact, the sl(2) piece of the Schrodinger algebra can be decoupled from the Heisenberg component. This is accomplished using a special realization of the sl(2) component that is built from the Heisenberg piece as the quadratic elements in the Heisenberg-Weyl enveloping algebra. The structure of the Schrodinger algebra is revealed in a lucid way by the form of the Berezin representation.

description: We discuss a model of an economic community consisting of $N$ interacting agents. The state of each agent at any time is characterized, in general, by a mixed strategy profile drawn from a space of $s$ pure strategies. The community evolves as agents update their strategy profiles in response to payoffs received from other agents. The evolution equation is a generalization of the replicator equation. We argue that when $N$ is sufficiently large and the payoff matrix elements satisfy suitable inequalities, the community evolves to retain the full diversity of available strategies even as individual agents specialize to pure strategies.
