Aporias of Mobility: Amazonian Landscapes between Exploration and Engineering

Subjects: Latin American literature

description: This dissertation argues that the journeys of naturalists, explorers, intellectuals, and engineers through the Amazon in the second half of the nineteenth and first decade of the twentieth century gave rise to perspectives that challenge foundational assumptions about technology in modern metropolitan centers. Chief among these assumptions are the ideas that technology contributes to specialization, the disenchantment of reality, the entrapment of the subject in the logistics of urban labor, and the removal of natural obstacles. The examination of the roles of nature and technology in texts and images of the period shows that travel and exploration were represented as experiences of enchantment and encounters with impassable terrains. The dissertation focuses on three interconnected cases to support its thesis: Euclides da Cunha’s reading of the naturalists in his essays on the Amazon; experiences and practices of exploration on the Madeira and Mamoré Rivers; and the construction of a railroad along these rivers to render the hauling of vessels over land and long voyages unnecessary. Developing a cultural-historical framework that counters narratives of technological domination and failure, the dissertation concludes that the tensions between exploration and engineering in these cases reveal the eschatological facets of the history of technology.  The eschatological facets show both how technologies contribute to the construction of the farthest frontiers and how technologies themselves arrive at their final stages.

description: The level of mass segregation in the core of globular clusters has been previously proposed as a potential indicator of the dynamical constituents of the system, such as presence of a significant population of stellar-mass black holes (BHs), or even a central intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). However, its measurement is limited to clusters with high-quality Hubble Space Telescope data. Thanks to a set of state-of-the-art direct N-body simulations with up to 200k particles inclusive of stellar evolution, primordial binaries, and varying BH/neutron stars, we highlight for the first time the existence of a clear and tight linear relation between the degree of mass segregation and the cluster structural concentration index. The latter is defined as the ratio of the radii containing 5% and 50% of the integrated light ($R_5/R_\mathrm{50}$), making it robustly measurable without the need to individually resolve low-mass stars. Our simulations indicate that given $R_5/R_\mathrm{50}$, the mass segregation $Δm$ (defined as the difference in main sequence median mass between center and half-light radius) is expressed as $Δm/M_\odot = -1.166 R_5/R_\mathrm{h} + 0.3246$, with a root-mean-square error of $0.0148$. In addition, we can explain its physical origin and the values of the fitted parameters through basic analytical modeling. Such correlation is remarkably robust against a variety of initial conditions (including presence of primordial binaries and IMBHs) and cluster ages, with a slight dependence in best-fit parameters on the prescriptions used to measure the quantities involved. Therefore, this study highlights the potential to develop a new observational tool to gain insight on the dynamical status of globular clusters and on its dark remnants.

description: The key concept discussed in these lectures is the relation between the Hamiltonians of a quantum integrable system and the Casimir elements in the underlying hidden symmetry algebra. (In typical applications the latter is either the universal enveloping algebra of an affine Lie algebra, or its q-deformation.) A similar relation also holds in the classical case. We discuss different guises of this very important relation and its implication for the description of the spectrum and the eigenfunctions of the quantum system. Parallels between the classical and the quantum cases are thoroughly discussed.

description: Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag stellt mögliche Klassifikationen von Bier nach verwendeten Rohstoffen, Verzuckerungswegen und Gärmechanismen vor und charakterisiert Bier als Lebensmittel und alkoholisches Getränk. Dabei wird hier von einem breiten Definitionsvorschlag ausgegangen, der auch rezente ethnographische, als Bier bezeichnete Getränke berücksichtigt und somit prähistorischen Verhältnissen eher gerecht wird. Zutaten, Herstellung und Konsum solcher Biere werden beschrieben und dienen als Rahmen, innerhalb dessen die bisher bekannten Hinweise auf Bier – auch unter Berücksichtigung des eng verwandten Brotes – in der Vorgeschichte Südwestasiens und Europas gedeutet werden können. Erste chemische Hinweise auf die Kenntnis von Bier aus Malz existieren im vorkeramischen Neolithikum Vorderasiens, verlieren sich jedoch im keramischen Neolithikum wieder, bis ab dem 5. Jahrtausend auch Malzfunde bzw. entsprechende Schriftquellen auftreten. Das Fundbild ist jedoch noch zu lückenhaft, um zu möglichen Rohfrucht- oder Brotbieren oder zur zeitlichen Entwicklung von Bier in der Vorgeschichte mehr als Vermutungen und neue Fragestellungen formulieren zu können.

description: Background: The value of procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis of bacterial infections and for determining antibiotic usage among patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is currently unclear. Methods: We systematically reviewed the literature and selected studies that evaluated PCT as a biomarker for predicting bacterial infection and compared PCT-based protocols to determine its application in the initiation or discontinuation of antibiotics. Guidance for systematic reviews from Cochrane and the GRADE were followed to perform this study. Data were pooled and analyzed by using a random-effects or a fixed-effects model based on the heterogeneity. Results: The pooled sensitivity and specificity of PCT in diagnosing respiratory bacterial infections were 0.60 and 0.76, respectively, with the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.77. Subgroup analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of PCT for patients in ICU were 0.48 and 0.69, respectively. PCT-based protocols decreased antibiotic prescription (relative risk = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.62–0.71) and total antibiotic exposure (mean difference = −2.60, 95% CI: −4.48–0.72), without affecting clinical outcomes such as treatment failure, length of hospitalization and rates of re-exacerbation or overall mortality. Conclusions: PCT has a moderate ability to distinguish bacterial respiratory infection in patients with AECOPD. PCT-guided algorithm can reduce unnecessary administration of antibiotics without increasing adverse outcomes. However, for patients requiring admission in the ICU, PCT may have a poor diagnostic value, and the PCT-guided algorithm may not effectively and safely reduce the antibiotic exposure.

description: This dissertation excavates the print and archive culture of diasporic and continental Africans who forged a community in Cape Town between 1900 and 1946. Although the writers I consider write after the Victorian era, I use the term "black Victorian" to preserve their own political investments in a late nineteenth-century understanding of liberal empire. With the abolition of slavery in 1834 across the British Empire and the Cape Colony's qualified nonracial franchise of 1853, Cape Town, and District Six in particular, took on new significance in black radicalism. By writing periodicals, pamphlets and autobiographies, black Victorians hoped to write themselves into the culture of empire.  These recovered texts read uncannily, unsettling the construction of official archives as well as contemporary canons of South African, African and diasporic African literatures. By turning to the traffic of ideas between Africa and its diaspora in Cape Town, this dissertation recovers a vision of (black) modernity that had not yet succumbed to the formulations of anti-imperial nationalisms.

description: We study the quasiprobability representation of quantum light, as introduced by Glauber and Sudarshan, for the unified characterization of quantum phenomena. We begin with reviewing the past and current impact of this technique. Regularization and convolution methods are specifically considered since they are accessible in experiments. We further discuss more general quantum systems for which the concept of negative probabilities can be generalized, being highly relevant for quantum information science. For analyzing quantum superpositions, we apply recently developed approaches to visualize quantum coherence of states via negative quasiprobability representations, including regularized quasiprobabilities for light and more general quantum correlated systems.

description: We show that the electronic and atomic structure of carbon nanotubes undergo dramatic changes with hydrogen chemisorption from first principle calculations. Upon uniform exohydrogenation at half coverage, the cross sections of zigzag nanotubes become literally square or rectangular, and they are metallic with very high density of states at the Fermi level, while other isomers can be insulating. For both zigzag and armchair nanotubes, hydrogenation of each carbon atom from inside and outside alternatively yield the most stable isomer with a very weak curvature dependence and a large band gap.

subject: Craft practice

description: Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) broadly refers to a group of technologies that create objects using material deposition rather than by reductive means, which describes most means of traditional manufacturing. This study is interested in the use of these additive manufacturing technologies by craftspeople located around the world. Craft practice has a tendency to be associated with manual processes and not with technology. This study questions whether these ideas are relevant to a new generation of craftspeople. The studio component of this study aims to push the boundaries of what is possible to create using additive manufacturing and the related technology of computer-aided design (CAD).These examples, which take the form of a baseball hat and a gown, are deliberately complex in nature in order to push the technology to its very limits. The baseball hat is significant for sheer complexity of a single 3d printed part, while the gown represents the World’s first full length evening dress printed as a single part. These works inform the theoretical exegetical part of this study and form a backdrop to the findings/conclusions of this study.
Isomorphism property in nonstandard extensions of ZFC universe

description: We study models of HST, a nonstandard set theory which includes, in particular, the ZFC Replacement and Separation schemata in the language containing the membership and standardness predicates, and Saturation for well-orderable families of internal sets. This theory admits an adequate formulation of the isomorphism property IP: "any two elementarily equivalent internally presented structures of a wellorderable language are isomorphic." IP implies, for instance, that all infinite internal sets are equinumerous, and there exists a unique (modulo isomorphisms) internal elementary extension of the standard reals. We prove that IP is independent of HST (using the class of all sets constructible from internal sets) and consistent with HST (using generic extensions of $\HST$ models by a sufficient number of generic isomorphisms).

description: The effect that an additional energy barrier E_{kr} for step adatoms moving around kinks has on equilibrium step edge fluctuations is explored using scaling arguments and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. When mass transport is through step edge diffusion, the time correlation function of the step fluctuations behaves as C(t) = A(T) t^{1/4}. At low temperatures the prefactor A(T) shows Arrhenius behavior with an activation energy (E_{det} + 3 epsilon)/4 if E_{kr} < epsilon and (E_{det} + E_{kr} + 2 epsilon)/4 if E_{kr} > epsilon, where epsilon is the kink energy and E_{det} is the barrier for detachment of a step adatom from a kink. We point out that the assumption of an Einstein relation for step edge diffusion has lead to an incorrect interpretation of step fluctuation experiments, and explain why such a relation does not hold. The theory is applied to experimental results on Pt(111) and Cu(100).

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Fiber reinforced materials (FRMs) can be modeled as bi-phasic materials, where different constitutive behaviors are associated with different phases. The numerical study of FRMs through a full geometrical resolution of the two phases is often computationally infeasible, and therefore most works on the subject resort to homogenization theory, and exploit strong regularity assumptions on the fibers distribution. Both approaches fall short in intermediate regimes where lack of regularity does not justify a homogenized approach, and when the fiber geometry or their numerosity render the fully resolved problem numerically intractable. In this paper, we propose a distributed Lagrange multiplier approach, where the effect of the fibers is superimposed on a background isotropic material through an independent description of the fibers. The two phases are coupled through a constraint condition, opening the way for intricate fiber-bulk couplings as well as allowing complex geometries with no alignment requirements between the discretisation of the background elastic matrix and the fibers. We analyze both a full order coupling, where the elastic matrix is coupled with fibers that have a finite thickness, as well as a reduced order model, where the position of their centerline uniquely determines the fibers. Well posedness, existence, and uniquess of solutions are shown both for the continuous models, and for the finite element discretizations. We validate our approach against the models derived by the rule of mixtures, and by the Halpin-Tsai formulation.

description: Corporate governance in Australia has become important according to both academic and managerial perspectives. The governance system is a dynamic force which has been evolving continuously. A series of corporate collapses and the recent global financial crisis have encouraged most countries including Australia to develop their governance systems, and policy makers to develop a code for the role of governance (Aguilera & Cuervo-Cazurra, 2009; Beekes et al., 2011). The common law system for corporate governance in Australia is similar to the Anglo-Saxon so-called “outsider” system of ownership and control, which is typical of the board structure in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (Dignam & Galanis, 2004). This governance mechanism is a framework of rules, practices, systems, and relations by which a company and its authorities and managers are controlled and directed. This involves balancing the interests of insiders (managers) and outsiders (such as customers, shareholders, financiers, and government). Therefore, the structure of this governance can influence the way the objectives of a company are set and achieved, the way that performance is optimized, and how risks are monitored and assessed.

description: We study a flavor model with $A_4$ symmetry which originates from $S_4$ modular group. In $S_4$ symmetry, $Z_2$ subgroup can be anomalous, and then $S_4$ can be violated to $A_4$. Starting with a $S_4$ symmetric Lagrangian at the tree level, the Lagrangian at the quantum level has only $A_4$ symmetry when $Z_2$ in $S_4$ is anomalous. We obtain modular forms of two singlets and a triplet representations of $A_4$ by decomposing $S_4$ modular forms into $A_4$ representations. We propose a new $A_4$ flavor model of leptons by using those $A_4$ modular forms. We succeed in constructing a viable neutrino mass matrix through the Weinberg operator for both normal hierarchy (NH) and inverted hierarchy (IH) of neutrino masses. Our predictions of the CP violating Dirac phase $δ_{CP}$ and the mixing $\sin^2θ_{23}$ depend on the sum of neutrino masses for NH.

description: We analyze the optimal decision-making hierarchy in an organization when decision-makers of limited liability have preferences conflicting with the organization’s objective and exert externalities on their counterparts. In a horizontal hierarchy, every decision is made by a different agent. In a vertical hierarchy, one agent is in charge of all decisions. Only this agent is incentivized. This advantage is outweighed if there is a horizontal hierarchy so that the decision-makers’ preferences are close to the organization’s objective with respect to the decision they are in charge of but far from the organization’s objective for the other decisions.

description: Teenage boys in the first year of secondary school were interviewed about their Kodaly influenced, voice based classroom music course with a view to improving the subject offering in terms of educational efficacy and popularity at the site of the research. Discourse analysis of the interview transcripts revealed that the singing aspect of the course was not as unpopular with the students as some research predicted. Indeed, the boys enjoyed singing and playing instruments. They enjoyed the cognitive challenge of rigorous music education. The discourse analysis revealed that identity creation and friendship building in the first year of secondary schooling was more important to the students than the researcher had expected. Students enjoyed learning music by making music and advocated for more opportunities for paired and small group music making to have more opportunities to make friends, to learn about each other and to negotiate and construct their identities. The course was developed in line with the findings of the initial interviews in an action research framework. The study found that asking students about their learning and interrogating thoroughly what they say can assist in matching pedagogy to student needs. It found that practitioners should adopt a site and child specific, rather than a one size fits all approach when applying pedagogical practices.

description: ‘Image’ as a kind of softpower plays an increasingly important role in international relations and is drawing more and more attention from international actors. In the process of national image (or international actor’s image) construction mass media is an inevitable actor not only because it can prominently reflect perceptions from the government, elites and the public but can also affect or even lead the direction the perception takes to an extent. Previous studies have suggested that international actors usually respond to their images when they make decisions or take action. This paper investigates articles about the EU in two influential Chinese newspapers, People’s Daily and Nanfang Daily, which were published from 2002 to 2011, employing empirical research methods in the analysis of the intensity, content and attitude of the newspaper articles. The comparison of news reports and EUChina relations enables us to discuss the relationship between international relations and actors’ media images. Thus, this study sets out to determine how the Chinese media perceive the EU and whether EU-China relations and the media might have co-constituted and co-determined each other in the decade between 2002 and 2011.

Application Platforms, Routing Algorithms and Mobility Behavior in Mobile Disruption-Tolerant Networks

description: Mobile disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), experience frequent and long duration partitions due to the low density of mobile nodes. In these networks, traditional networking models relying on end-to-end communication cease to work. The topological characteristics of mobile DTNs impose unique challenges for the design and validation of routing protocols and applications. We investigate challenges of mobile DTNs from three different viewpoints: the application layer, a routing perspective, and by studying mobility patterns. In the application layer, we have built 7DS (7th Degree of Separation) as a modular platform to develop mobile disruption-tolerant applications. 7DS offers a class of disruption-tolerant applications to exchange data with other mobile users in the mobile DTN or with the global Internet. In the routing layer, we have designed and implemented PEEP as an interest-aware and energy efficient routing protocol which automatically extracts individual interests of mobile users and estimates the global popularity of data items throughout the network. PEEP considers mobile users' interests and global popularity of data items in its routing decisions to route data toward the community of mobile users who are interested in that data content. Mobility of mobile users impacts the conditions in which routing protocols for mobile DTNs must operate and types of applications that could be provided for mobile networks in general. The current synthetic mobility models do not reflect real-world mobile users' behavior. Trace-based mobility models, also, are based on traces that either represent a specific population of mobile users or do not have enough granularities in representing mobility of mobile users for example cell tower traces. We use Sense Networks' GPS traces that are being collected by monitoring a broad spectrum of mobile users. Using these traces, we employ a Markovian approach to extract inherent patterns in human mobility. We design and implement a new routing algorithm for mobile DTNs based on our Markovian analysis of the human mobility. We explore how the knowledge of the mobility improves the performance of our Markov based routing algorithm. We show that that our Markov based routing algorithm increases the rate of data delivery to popular destinations with consuming less energy than legacy algorithms.

description: A Thomas-Fermi statistical analysis of Bader's interatomic surface developed in a previous work (L.Delle Site, Phys.Lett.A 286 61-64 (2001)) is here extended by considering exchange effects and electron density's inhomogeneity at basic level via Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Weizsacker model. The results obtained show interesting connections with bohmian mechanics and lead to a statistical interpretation of the chemical properties of condensed systems at atomistic level.

description: Similarity search is a fundamental algorithmic primitive, widely used in many computer science disciplines. There are several variants of the similarity search problem, and one of the most relevant is the $r$-near neighbor ($r$-NN) problem: given a radius $r>0$ and a set of points $S$, construct a data structure that, for any given query point $q$, returns a point $p$ within distance at most $r$ from $q$. In this paper, we study the $r$-NN problem in the light of fairness. We consider fairness in the sense of equal opportunity: all points that are within distance $r$ from the query should have the same probability to be returned. In the low-dimensional case, this problem was first studied by Hu, Qiao, and Tao (PODS 2014). Locality sensitive hashing (LSH), the theoretically strongest approach to similarity search in high dimensions, does not provide such a fairness guarantee. To address this, we propose efficient data structures for $r$-NN where all points in $S$ that are near $q$ have the same probability to be selected and returned by the query. Specifically, we first propose a black-box approach that, given any LSH scheme, constructs a data structure for uniformly sampling points in the neighborhood of a query. Then, we develop a data structure for fair similarity search under inner product that requires nearly-linear space and exploits locality sensitive filters. The paper concludes with an experimental evaluation that highlights (un)fairness in a recommendation setting on real-world datasets and discusses the inherent unfairness introduced by solving other variants of the problem.

description: The dynamics of generalized Lotka-Volterra systems is studied by theoretical techniques and computer simulations. These systems describe the time evolution of the wealth distribution of individuals in a society, as well as of the market values of firms in the stock market. The individual wealths or market values are given by a set of time dependent variables $w_i$, $i=1,...N$. The equations include a stochastic autocatalytic term (representing investments), a drift term (representing social security payments) and a time dependent saturation term (due to the finite size of the economy). The $w_i$'s turn out to exhibit a power-law distribution of the form $P(w) \sim w^{-1-α}$. It is shown analytically that the exponent $α$ can be expressed as a function of one parameter, which is the ratio between the constant drift component (social security) and the fluctuating component (investments). This result provides a link between the lower and upper cutoffs of this distribution, namely between the resources available to the poorest and those available to the richest in a given society. The value of $α$ %as well as the position of the lower cutoff is found to be insensitive to variations in the saturation term, that represent the expansion or contraction of the economy. The results are of much relevance to empirical studies that show that the distribution of the individual wealth in different countries during different periods in the 20th century has followed a power-law distribution with $1 < α< 2$.

description: Unfavourable conditions throughout the period of parental care can severely affect growth, reproductive performance, and survival. Yet, individuals may be affected differently, depending on the developmental period during which constraints are experienced. Here we tested whether the nestling phase compared to the fledgling phase is more susceptible to nutritional stress by considering biometry, physiology, sexually selected male ornaments and survival using zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) as a model species. As nestlings (day 0–17) or fledglings (day 17–35), subjects were raised either on low or high quality food. A low quality diet resulted in significantly elevated baseline corticosterone titres in both nestlings and fledglings. Subjects showed substantial compensatory growth after they had experienced low quality food as nestlings but catch-up growth did neither lead to elevated baseline corticosterone titres nor did we detect long term effects on biometry, male cheek patch, or survival. The compensation for temporally unfavourable environmental conditions reflects substantial phenotypic plasticity and the results show that costs of catch-up growth were not mediated via corticosterone as a physiological correlate of allostatic load. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms and plasticity with which animals respond to periods of constraints during development as they may occur in a mistiming of breeding.

description: The existence of one-way functions is arguably the most important problem in computer theory. The article discusses and refines a number of concepts relevant to this problem. For instance, it gives the first combinatorial complete owf, i.e., a function which is one-way if any function is. There are surprisingly many subtleties in basic definitions. Some of these subtleties are discussed or hinted at in the literature and some are overlooked. Here, a unified approach is attempted.

description: Deep learning has become an area of interest in most scientific areas, including physical sciences. Modern networks apply real-valued transformations on the data. Particularly, convolutions in convolutional neural networks discard phase information entirely. Many deterministic signals, such as seismic data or electrical signals, contain significant information in the phase of the signal. We explore complex-valued deep convolutional networks to leverage non-linear feature maps. Seismic data commonly has a lowcut filter applied, to attenuate noise from ocean waves and similar long wavelength contributions. Discarding the phase information leads to low-frequency aliasing analogous to the Nyquist-Shannon theorem for high frequencies. In non-stationary data, the phase content can stabilize training and improve the generalizability of neural networks. While it has been shown that phase content can be restored in deep neural networks, we show how including phase information in feature maps improves both training and inference from deterministic physical data. Furthermore, we show that the reduction of parameters in a complex network outperforms larger real-valued networks.
