description: The character of the central density profile in the Lemaître-Tolman (LT) solutions plays a fundamental role in their application as cosmological models. This same character is studied here for these solutions used to model complete gravitational collapse. A necessary condition for the development of a black hole (not even locally naked singularities) is developed. This condition allows central density cusps, the central feature of the LT solutions when used to match cosmological observations without invoking the cosmological constant.

description: In recent years, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been popular in the graph classification task. Currently, shallow GNNs are more common due to the well-known over-smoothing problem facing deeper GNNs. However, they are sub-optimal without utilizing the information from distant nodes, i.e., the long-range dependencies. The mainstream methods in the graph classification task can extract the long-range dependencies either by designing the pooling operations or incorporating the higher-order neighbors, while they have evident drawbacks by modifying the original graph structure, which may result in information loss in graph structure learning. In this paper, by justifying the smaller influence of the over-smoothing problem in the graph classification task, we evoke the importance of stacking-based GNNs and then employ them to capture the long-range dependencies without modifying the original graph structure. To achieve this, two design needs are given for stacking-based GNNs, i.e., sufficient model depth and adaptive skip-connection schemes. By transforming the two design needs into designing data-specific inter-layer connections, we propose a novel approach with the help of neural architecture search (NAS), which is dubbed LRGNN (Long-Range Graph Neural Networks). Extensive experiments on five datasets show that the proposed LRGNN can achieve the best performance, and obtained data-specific GNNs with different depth and skip-connection schemes, which can better capture the long-range dependencies.

description: When an exciton in semiconductor is scattered and its energy is decreased far below the resonance energy of the bare exciton state, it has been considered that an exciton-polariton is created immediately by the scattering process, because there is no exciton level at that energy. However, according to the recent time-resolved measurements of P emission originating from inelastic exciton-exciton scattering, it looks rather natural to consider that the exciton-polariton is created in a finite time scale which is restricted by a coherence volume of the exciton after the scattering. In this interpretation, the exciton remains in this time scale far below its resonance energy as a transient state in a series of processes. We propose an expression of the P-emission lifetime depending on the coherence volume of the scattered excitons through the conversion process from them to the polaritons. The coherence volume of the scattered excitons appears in the calculation of the inelastic scattering process on the assumption of a finite coherence volume of the bottleneck excitons.Time-resolved optical-gain measurements could be a way for investigating the validity of our interpretation.

description: E. Tesauro in his masterpiece Il Cannocchiale Aristotelico used the metaphor of theatre to describe rhetoric effects of metaphors. Moreover metaphor effects, in Tesauro, are mostly described in psychological and cognitive terms. W. Eggington (How the world became a stage, 2003) names theatricality the relationship between individual and space that appears since upon Sixteenth century in Western Europe theatre. This form of relationship takes the place of presence. Thus Eggington calls the form of theatre performance spread in the period before Sixteenth century. This paper takes into account Eggington hypothesis and discusses his validity. Moreover in order to understand the implications of the rhetoric of metaphor exposed in Tesauro’s masterpiece, the research compares metaphoric effects with the dynamic of theatricality.

description: Recommender systems have been demonstrated to be effective to meet user's personalized interests for many online services (e.g., E-commerce and online advertising platforms). Recent years have witnessed the emerging success of many deep learning-based recommendation models for augmenting collaborative filtering architectures with various neural network architectures, such as multi-layer perceptron and autoencoder. However, the majority of them model the user-item relationship with single type of interaction, while overlooking the diversity of user behaviors on interacting with items, which can be click, add-to-cart, tag-as-favorite and purchase. Such various types of interaction behaviors have great potential in providing rich information for understanding the user preferences. In this paper, we pay special attention on user-item relationships with the exploration of multi-typed user behaviors. Technically, we contribute a new multi-behavior graph neural network (MBRec), which specially accounts for diverse interaction patterns as well as the underlying cross-type behavior inter-dependencies. In the MBRec framework, we develop a graph-structured learning framework to perform expressive modeling of high-order connectivity in behavior-aware user-item interaction graph. After that, a mutual relation encoder is proposed to adaptively uncover complex relational structures and make aggregations across layer-specific behavior representations. Through comprehensive evaluation on real-world datasets, the advantages of our MBRec method have been validated under different experimental settings. Further analysis verifies the positive effects of incorporating the multi-behavioral context into the recommendation paradigm. Additionally, the conducted case studies offer insights into the interpretability of user multi-behavior representations.

Loss-tolerant EPR steering for arbitrary dimensional states: joint measurability and unbounded violations under losses

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We show how to construct loss-tolerant linear steering inequalities using a generic set of von Neumann measurements that are violated by $d$-dimensional states, and that rely only upon a simple property of the set of measurements used (the maximal overlap between measurement directions). Using these inequalities we show that the critical detection efficiency above which $n$ von Neumann measurements can demonstrate steering is $1/n$. We show furthermore that using our construction and high dimensional states allows for steering demonstrations which are also highly robust to depolarising noise and produce unbounded violations in the presence of loss. Finally, our results provide an explicit means to certify the non-joint measurability of any set of inefficient von Neuman measurements.

description: This article focuses on a new category of urban spaces, the ‘super-places’, considered as a mix between shopping centres and entertainment parks. Following Walter Benjamin’s studies on urban modernity, the super-places – standing out as utopias or enchanted fortresses in the unsteady and territorialized areas of the contemporary metropolis – will be defined as an evolution of the phantasmagorias where the Parisian flâneur used to stroll. In order to describe the experience of suspension and performance of identity affecting the visitor of the super-places, the concept of ‘hyperreality’, developed by Umberto Eco in his paper Dalla periferia dell'impero (1977), will also be used.

Tree- versus graph-level quasilocal Poincare duality on S^1
Creators: name: Johnson-Freyd, Theo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)
subject: Quantum Algebra (math.QA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Among its many corollaries, Poincare duality implies that the de Rham cohomology of a compact oriented manifold is a shifted commutative Frobenius algebra --- a commutative Frobenius algebra in which the comultiplication has cohomological degree equal to the dimension of the manifold. We study the question of whether this structure lifts to a "homotopy" shifted commutative Frobenius algebra structure at the cochain level. To make this question nontrivial, we impose a mild locality-type condition that we call "quasilocality": strict locality at the cochain level is unreasonable, but it is reasonable to ask for homotopically-constant families of operations that become local "in the limit." To make the question concrete, we take the manifold to be the one-dimensional circle. The answer to whether a quasilocal homotopy-Frobenius algebra structure exists turns out to depend on the choice of context in which to do homotopy algebra. There are two reasonable worlds in which to study structures (like Frobenius algebras) that involve many-to-many operations: one can work at "tree level," corresponding roughly to the world of operadic homotopy algebras and their homotopy modules; or one can work at "graph level," corresponding to the world of PROPs. For the tree-level version of our question, the answer is the unsurprising "Yes, such a structure exists" --- indeed, it is unique up to a contractible space of choices. But for the graph-level version, the answer is the surprising "No, such a structure does not exist." Most of the paper consists of computing explicitly this nonexistence, which is controlled by the numerical value of a certain obstruction, and we compute this value explicitly via a sequence of integrals.

Democracy in the Eye of the Beholder: A Cross-National Study Examining the Influence of Individualism on Perceptions of Democratic Ideals
Creators: name: El-Baradie, Noor
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Although research shows widespread global support for democracy, research suggests that there are different national perceptions of democracy based on exposure to democracy, political regimes, and national income. However, the research on how national culture affects perceptions and definitions of democracy is limited. A well-studied and defined cultural divide is between collectivist and individualist cultures. Consequently, there is research that explores the differences in how democracy develops and manifests in collectivist and individualist cultures, as well as the correlation between the level of individualism in a country and its national wealth. However, there is a gap in the research on how a culture of individualism in a country affects how its population defines democracy. In this study, I measure the relationship between individualism level in a country and the average response on the essentialness of various attributes of democracy. I find some substantial evidence that countries with higher national individualism scores perceive characteristics of democracy as essential differently than other countries. These results could potentially indicate that culture may play a significant role in formulating ideals and standards in a country that affects definitions and perception of democracy.

description: The texts which this study refers to form part of a particular epistolary anthology with multiple senders, but with only one declared addresse, God,commissioned to various intellectuals by the theologist René Guitton. Within the epistolary genre – a performative space, in that it is the place for the performance of the self and the other – the particularity of the pragmatic-communicative relationship that binds the real sender to an imaginary addresse and, as such, inadequate to put into action the expected mechanism of feed- back, will be examined. To this end, the comunicative circumstance of such an act of writing, that is what concerns the bifurication of the destination of these special epistolary acts, will be taken into consideration. One destination is that directed towards the external readers of the volume of letters that the editor-client will publish; the other destination is that created by the movement of the division of the I into a Me, the only feasible otherness to whom one addresses one’s own performance in an auto- reflective movement.

description: We explore the effect of modification to Einstein's gravity in white dwarfs for the first time in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. This leads to significantly sub- and super-Chandrasekhar limiting masses of white dwarfs, determined by a single model parameter. On the other hand, type Ia supernovae (SNeIa), a key to unravel the evolutionary history of the universe, are believed to be triggered in white dwarfs having mass close to the Chandrasekhar limit. However, observations of several peculiar, under- and over-luminous SNeIa argue for exploding masses widely different from this limit. We argue that explosions of the modified gravity induced sub- and super-Chandrasekhar limiting mass white dwarfs result in under- and over-luminous SNeIa respectively, thus unifying these two apparently disjoint sub-classes and, hence, serving as a missing link. Our discovery raises two fundamental questions. Is the Chandrasekhar limit unique? Is Einstein's gravity the ultimate theory for understanding astronomical phenomena? Both the answers appear to be no.

description: The 20th century has taught us that there are several practises of mortifying a tyrant’s body. Adolf Hitler’s corpse was made to disappear, probably because it was believed that his lifeless body couldn’t be shown without its charismatic power. Nevertheless, the reappearance of his image was soon realized, through practices of ‘ostranenie’, by cinema and literature. Cattelan’s sculpture, Him - that represents a small Hitler bowed down in prayer, with his back to the visitors - and especially its reassessment, in the homonymous play by Fanny Alexander Theatre Company, are at the heart of this speech, which tries to draw up a comparative inter artes catalogue of the Fuhrer mocked: by putting a baton in the hands of that ‘special’ silhouette-character and by forcing him to ‘dub’, with a perfect lip-synch, all the original cues of The Wizard of Oz movie.

Characterization of Endogenous Neurosteroid (3α,5α)3-Hydroxypregnan-20-one Activation of Anti-inflammatory Neuroimmune Signaling
Creators: name: Adelina Grusca
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Neuroimmune signaling, particularly activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs), plays a crucial role in central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as post-partum depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease. The endogenous neurosteroid (3α,5α)3- hydroxypregnan-20-one (3α,5α-THP, allopregnanolone) has displayed therapeutic efficacy in several CNS disorders that involve neuroimmune signaling. 3α,5α-THP has been shown to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression at least in part by inhibiting activation of TLR4 through MyD88- dependent signals. However, TLR4 activation involves a balance between both pro- and anti-inflammatory signaling, and 3α,5α-THP’s therapeutic effects may involve modulating both pro- and anti-inflammatory TLR4 signaling. To date, no study has characterized 3α,5α-THP’s activation of anti-inflammatory neuroimmune signaling. The present study measured how administration of 3α,5α-THP influenced expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 and chemokine CX3CL1 and explored pathway members that are potentially involved in 3α,5α-THP’s modulation of IL10 and CX3CL1. The data suggest that administration of 3α,5α-THP led to increases in IL10 and CX3CL1 in a region-dependent, sex-dependent, and neuroimmune state-dependent manner and elucidate some potential pathway members driving these phenomena.

description: Transcriptional repression may cause transcriptional noise by a competition between repressor and RNA polymerase binding. Although promoter activity is often governed by a single limiting step, we argue here that the size of the noise strongly depends on whether this step is the initial equilibrium binding or one of the subsequent unidirectional steps. Overall, we show that nonequilibrium steps of transcription initiation systematically increase the cell-to-cell heterogeneity in bacterial populations. In particular, this allows also weak promoters to give substantial transcriptional noise.

description: The woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) is an iconic species of the Eurasian Pleistocene megafauna, which was abundant in Eurasia in the Pleistocene until its demise beginning approximately 10 000 years ago. Despite the early recovery of several specimens from well-known European archaeological sites, including its type specimen (Blumenbach 1799), no genomes of European populations were available so far, and all available genomic data originated exclusively from Siberian populations. Using coprolites of cave hyenas (Crocuta crocuta spelea) recovered from Middle Palaeolithic layers of two caves in Germany (Bockstein-Loch and Hohlenstein-Stadel), we isolated and enriched predator and prey DNA to assemble the first European woolly rhinoceros mitogenomes, in addition to cave hyena mitogenomes. Both coprolite samples produced copious sequences assigned to C. crocuta (27% and 59% mitogenome coverage, respectively) and woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis; 27% and 81% coverage, respectively). The sequences suggested considerable DNA degradation, which may limit the conclusions to be drawn; however, the mitogenomes of European woolly rhinoceros are genetically distinct from the Siberian woolly rhinoceros, and analyses of the more complete mitogenome suggests a split of the populations potentially coinciding with the earliest fossil records of woolly rhinoceros in Europe.
Arti performative e performatività delle arti come concetti 'intrinsecamente controversi'
Creators: name: Deriu, Fabrizio
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: According to Marvin Carlson, performance is an “essentially contested concept”, i.e. a concept which has disagreement about its essence built into the concept itself. An essentially contested concept implies recognition of rival uses of it, as not only logically possibile and humanly “likely”, but as of permanent critical value to one’s own use or interpretation. This feature is even more important nowadays, when performance is not limited to theatre and performance art but emerges (along with its theoretical partner, performativity) as central metaphor and critical tool for a wide variety of studies, covering almost every aspect of human activity. Following Carlson’s as well as Schechner’s and Jon McKenzie’s stimulating ideas, the article asks a bundle of questions. What do we exactly mean by performance? What defines, in particular, performing arts (theatre, music and dance) compared to arts that could not be properly called performative? And what one should exactly intend for performativity in the arts? According to McKenzie, in today’s world performance can refer to experimental art, productivity in the workplace, and functionality of technological systems. My aim is to argue that performing arts (in the field of cultural performances) work as a ‘countervailing thrust’ (in McLuhan’s words) against efficiency as operating principle in organizational and technological performance.

description: A fermion dark matter candidate with a relic abundance set by annihilation through a pseudoscalar can evade constraints from direct detection experiments. We present simplified models that realize this fact by coupling a fermion dark sector to a two-Higgs doublet model. These models are generalizations of mixed bino-Higgsino dark matter in the MSSM, with more freedom in the couplings and scalar spectra. Annihilation near a pseudoscalar resonance allows a significant amount of parameter space for thermal relic dark matter compared to singlet-doublet dark matter, in which the fermions couple only to the SM Higgs doublet. In a general two-Higgs doublet model, there is also freedom for the pseudoscalar to be relatively light and it is possible to obtain thermal relic dark matter candidates even below 100 GeV. In particular, we find ample room to obtain dark matter with mass around 50 GeV and fitting the Galactic Center excess in gamma-rays. This region of parameter space can be probed by LHC searches for heavy pseudoscalars or electroweakinos, and possibly by other new collider signals.

description: Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) is a framework for communication and active sensing that processes signals in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain. This paper explores three key features of the OTFS framework, and explains their value to applications. The first feature is a compact and sparse DD domain parameterization of the wireless channel, where the parameters map directly to physical attributes of the reflectors that comprise the scattering environment, and as a consequence these parameters evolve predictably. The second feature is a novel waveform / modulation technique, matched to the DD channel model, that embeds information symbols in the DD domain. The relation between channel inputs and outputs is localized, non-fading and predictable, even in the presence of significant delay and Doppler spread, and as a consequence the channel can be efficiently acquired and equalized. By avoiding fading, the post equalization SNR remains constant across all information symbols in a packet, so that bit error performance is superior to contemporary multi-carrier waveforms. Further, the OTFS carrier waveform is a localized pulse in the DD domain, making it possible to separate reflectors along both delay and Doppler simultaneously, and to achieve a high-resolution delay-Doppler radar image of the environment. In other words, the DD parameterization provides a common mathematical framework for communication and radar. This is the third feature of the OTFS framework, and it is ideally suited to intelligent transportation systems involving self-driving cars and unmanned ground/aerial vehicles which are self/network controlled. The OTFS waveform is able to support stable and superior performance over a wide range of user speeds.

"God's Orders:" Islamism in Afghanistan, 1979-2001
Creators: name: Doan, Charlsie

Year: 2023

description: In July of 1998, nearly 500 clerics and elders assembled in Kabul to draft a constitution for the new Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Section One, Article Two reads: “the system of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is based on the Qurʾan.” This paper examines how the concept of Qurʾan as constitution, and Islamism more broadly, came to Afghanistan and what it meant to the mujahidin—the Afghans who fought the Soviets in the 1980s—and then to the Taliban. This story is also about the transformation of Islamism from an intellectual concept to a political symbol to a purported instruction manual for state building.

Associations Between Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Dietary Greenhouse Gas Emissions among US Adults from 2007-2010

description: Objectives: Food systems are a key driver of climate change and poor health. A major food system shift over the last few decades is increased ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption. High UPF consumption is extensively linked with poor diet quality and chronic diseases, but the environmental impacts of UPFs are less explored. We used a nationally representative survey to evaluate the association between UPF consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) among US adults.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with two pooled waves of data (2007-2008 and 2009-2010) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Foods were classified according to NOVA based on degree of processing. We divided participants into quintiles based on proportion of diet from UPFs using mean of two-day dietary recall. Foods reported in NHANES were matched with GHGEs using the database of Food Recall Impacts on the Environment for Nutrition and Dietary Studies (dataFRIENDS). Dietary GHGEs were measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per person per day per 1000 grams of food (kg CO2-eq). Multivariate linear regression models were used to test the association between quintiles of UPF consumption and dietary GHGEs. We estimated the survey-weighted distribution of sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, income, education, and race/ethnicity) by quintile of UPF consumption and GHGE.

Results: Consuming a greater proportion of diet from UPFs was associated with greater dietary GHGEs (ptrend<0.001). The estimated relative GHGEs for the lowest quintile of UPF consumption were 1.19 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.27) kg CO2-eq, compared to 1.71 (95% CI: 1.65, 1.77) kg CO2-eq for the highest UPF quintile, showing a 43% increase. Adults who were younger, had lower incomes, had less education, and who were non-Hispanic Black were more likely to be in the highest quintile of UPF intake. Adults who were male, had lower incomes, had less education, and who were non-Hispanic Black were more likely to be in the highest quintile of relative GHGEs.

Conclusions: Diets with a greater proportion of UPFs tend to be higher in GHGEs. These results suggest that policies to reduce UPFs could have health and environmental co-benefits, though more research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind why UPFs are associated with GHGEs.

description: An $\hbar$-expansion is presented for the ensemble-averaged spectral function of noninteracting matter waves in random potentials. We obtain the leading quantum corrections to the deep classical limit at high energies by the Wigner-Weyl formalism. The analytical results are checked with success against numerical data for Gaussian and laser speckle potentials with Gaussian spatial correlation in two dimensions.

description: As the need for long-term affordable housing in the U.S. becomes increasingly clear, community land trusts (CLTs) have attracted the attention of a growing number of people. Despite their popularity, implementation numbers remain low. This report evaluates potential challenges that impact the creation and operation of CLTs by using several U.S. case studies, focusing on the context of Austin, TX. The navigation of property tax valuations, existing affordable housing mechanisms, and limited resources and capacity are among identified barriers. After these issues are analyzed, I present several recommendations that would allow CLTs to operate more effectively.
Il teatro della Taganka nel XXI secolo. Performatività della cultura russa sulla scena

description: The object of the paper is the latest theatrical production of one of the most influent director of XX century: Yuri Lyubimov. His provocative and innovative style is well known thanks to his performances staged in USSR and abroad, but we would to consider his productions of the last ten years. The aim of such circumscribed analysis is to demonstrate how Yuri Lyubimov has been able to connect into the performances of the Taganka Theatre all the elements of Russian Culture in a kind of global performance of them. The five representative performances, that we have submitted to analysis, are bound by the post – modern (and post – dramatic) use of literary, artistic, historical quotations in an intensive dialogue with the texts of Tradition and with the spectators of many generations.

L'altro e lo stesso sulle scene di Performance (1968)
Creators: name: Esposito, Lucia
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: This paper explores the multiple ways in which the film Performance directed by N. Roeg and D. Cammell almost programmatically builds its narrative on the ideas of performance and performativity themselves. Firstly, in tune with the avant-garde experimentations of the Sixties Performance Art, the film strongly tries to delete the border between representation and reality by mixing actors and no actors and by having its participants profoundly affected by the seemingly ritualistic performance (Turner 1982). Secondly, the film openly attacks any essentialist concept of a unitary identity by exploring, through its ambiguous, even queer characters, the ideas of the double and the androgynous and by deconstructing any ontological discourse built on gender and its performative acts (Butler 1999). Finally, the dysfunctional values enacted by the cinematographic cultural performance align themselves with the counter-cultural ideals of the period by parodying the business-like societal models imposed by the establishment and the obsolete class-based system perpetuated by the English elites. In doing so, it proposes a utopian vision which puts at stake the identity of the nation itself while projecting on film the Sixties revolutionary dream about changing the world.

description: We study the continuity of the maximum-entropy inference map for two observables in finite dimensions. We prove that the continuity is equivalent to the strong continuity of the set-valued inverse numerical range map. This gives a continuity condition in terms of analytic eigenvalue functions which implies that discontinuities are very rare. It shows also that the continuity of the MaxEnt inference method is independent of the prior state.
