title: Uncanny Others: Hauntology, Ethnography, Media
Creators: name: Clanton, Carrie B.
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: anthropology, media, representation, hauntology

description: This thesis presents my study of “ghosthunting”—the practice of attempting to capture ghosts, primarily using cameras and audio recorders—as a metaphorical device for the use of audio-visual media within anthropology. I conducted fieldwork with ghosthunters, paying particular attention to their attendant audio-visual media practices and outputs, in order to redress the reluctance of anthropology to a) evaluate audio and visual media as mechanisms for producing anthropological critique—although some anthropologists have taken pains to do that with writing—and b) to understand the particular "haunted" history of audio-visual media as being related to critical anthropological concerns such as representation, time, and the other. 

The history of the use of audio-visual media within ghosthunting follows a similar trajectory to that of anthropology, and the resultant methodologies and outputs of both disciplines function in ways that are less inclined towards discursive “speaking with others” than they are towards attempting to produce demystified representations of others. Neither practice has, in contemporary times, acknowledged the historical connection of audio-visual media to the supernatural, nor its capacity to deal with the uncanny as a critical provocation. 

My study of ghosthunters shows that despite attempts to reify ghosts via photography, audio, and film, those media are themselves devices that maintain the uncanny as an ethical injunction towards the other—whether as ghosts or as the cultural “other” of anthropological critique. An acknowledgement of the “haunted” origins and capacities of media allows for ethical engagements with anthropological others, ultimately suggesting critical media methodologies for anthropology that, while informed by anthropology’s “crisis of representation,” radically differ from written ethnography. Viewing the relationship of media and anthropology through the lens of Derrida’s hauntology is a useful framework for thinking about media methodologies that can stand as critique.
title: Becoming Object: Positioning a Feminist Art Practice
Creators: name: Stupart, Linda
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Feminism, queer, zombie, neoliberalism, objectification, postfeminism, participation, sex, confessional

description: This thesis considers new possibilities for the object as a site of emancipation from and resistance to neoliberal models of subjectivity. In particular, I propose new queer and feminist object positions and practices as potentially rupturing the matrices of taste, labour, identity, and subjectivity as they are reproduced in both the material form (the institutional display and trade of art objects) and thematic content of contemporary art, particularly in ‘the West’.

The first chapter critiques the objectification qua subject production of neoliberal capitalism, exemplified in the mechanisms of Human Resources Management (HRM) particularly within the university. The chapter also begins to posit queer, trans and non-binary (1)  bodies as outside of this proper subject production, as (abject) objects that break the flow of capitalism.

The second chapter critiques ‘participatory practice’, exemplified here by Tino Sehgal, Renzo Martens and Santiago Sierra, as a practice which objectifies people-as-artistic-material under the guise of the production of empathy, experience, emotion and intersubjectivity. I argue that participatory practice is melancholic in that it is a terminal mourning for the lost art object of 1968,(2)  which fails to recognise this loss, thus destroying itself as art dissolves into capitalist life. I suggest that resistance to this process might happen at the site of the body-as-material, in the voice and actions of the worker-participant who constitutes the artwork. 

The third chapter queers the melancholia of the participatory artwork through the figure of the zombie, who dies (even commits suicide) and then returns to life and to rebellion. The chapter proposes ‘undead sex acts’ as sex acts sited in abjection and/or objecthood which challenge the reproductive logics of straight sex, as well as the insistence on sex as an act situated in the realm of the proper sexual subject, which excludes and incarcerates those who fall outside of this delineation. 

(1) Non-binary’ refers to people whose gender lies outside of male and female binaries.

title: Foundations of Modern Cello Technique; Creating the Basis for a Pedagogical Method
Creators: name: Welbanks, Valerie
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: cello, modern music, contemporary music, cello technique, extended technique

description: Throughout their studies, cellists use short technical exercises such as scales and études which, under the supervision of a teacher, provide the skills necessary to play the repertoire.  Etudes in particular – this body of formal, pedagogical works that developed in tandem with the rise of the virtuoso – are designed to strengthen specific technical notions in musical context, providing access to more demanding repertoire.  Surprisingly, however, the last significant collection of études for the cellist is Popper’s High School of Cello Playing (1905).  

The rich palette of extended techniques for cello, achieved through a century of innovation and experimentation, has no equivalent representation.  The cellist who desires, or is required, to meet this new rise in virtuosity must essentially decipher new idioms alone, unless fortunate enough to work with a specialist who will pass on the fruits of personal experience.  I suggest that many of the problems which modern music faces today are connected to the performer’s dearth of proficiency concerning certain musical and instrumental techniques.  As a survey of pedagogical material will show, few steps have been taken to enable cellists to gain the technical fluency needed for providing engaging performances of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire.    

Through discussions with contemporary music specialists, the study of existing publications, and my own performing experience, I present the cello’s extended techniques as a linear progression of traditional technique.  Three future projects guide the content and structure of this thesis: curriculum development, the creation of an online database, and the commissioning of concert études modelled on Paganini’s 24 Caprices for Solo Violin.  The 24 sections of this thesis guide the reader through a technique’s origin and development, basic acoustical information, and performance advice, creating a pedagogical framework.  Only with a clear methodological approach can contemporary music be expected to become more than a specialism.
Topological constraints on general relativistic galaxies: Exploring novel conical singularity networks
Creators: name: Galoppo, Marco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The van Stockum-Bonner class of spacetimes can be interpreted as fully general relativistic models for rigidly rotating disc galaxies. Frame-dragging effects in these geometries demand a recalibration of the dark matter content relative to models based on Newtonian gravity. We investigate the previously overlooked topological structure of these spacetimes, in relation to the viability of fully general relativistic galaxy toy models. We discuss the appropriate boundary conditions for these solutions to model disc galaxies. For this class of spacetimes, we show the existence of a network of quasi-regular singularities along the rotation axis of the galaxies. The existence of such novel conical defect structures further restricts the physical viability of the van Stockum-Bonner class. Unwinding these issues is key to avoiding pathologies in future fully general relativistic modelling of alternative to dark matter.

Subjects: matemat

description: Portando l’attenzione sul metodo moltiplicativo egizio illustrato su di un antico papiro, mi chiedo come quel popolo potesse usarlo in modo agevole e veloce. Da qui la creazione di un prontuario, una tabella di risultati pre calcolati, che rappresentano l’intero sistema numerico espresso come numeri dispari e le loro potenze di due, tali per cui appaiano tutti i numeri pari. La tabella spiega il metodo di calcolo stesso.

Continuando, alla potenza del numero due è collegato il sistema binario. Attraverso quest’ultimo è possibile riscrivere la moltiplicazione egizia sotto un’altra forma che attraverso un automatismo computazionale ne rende più agevole l’uso.  

Da qui, sviluppando il sistema numerico in forma binaria appaiono modelli e regole cicliche, le stesse usate per creare il prontuario precedentemente esposto. La ricerca di modelli nel mondo fisico era un punto chiave della cultura egizia che viene riportata all’interno di una metodologia di calcolo che oggi riscopriamo per il suo valore matematico e simbolico.

description: Despite growing recognition of the importance of transdisciplinary research in addressing complex sustainability challenges, in practice it has been much hampered by persistent inequities, power disparities, and epistemological disconnect. Planetary health as an emerging field offers a unique lens highlighting the need for knowledge integration across the environment-health-development (EHD) nexus. Drawing upon extensive analyses, including a literature review of practices in these fields, a case study of a planetary health action research project in Indonesia and Fiji, and a meta-analysis of existing transdisciplinarity frameworks, this PhD proposes a practice framework to guide the design and implementation of transdisciplinary collaboration in planetary health and broader sustainable development.
Analysis of Cardiovascular drugs by RP-HPLC and MLC-A Review
Creators: name: Devgan, Nikhil Raj
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography is a method used to perform drug assays for its profound results. The methodology following the RP- HPLC is not only one of the most user-friendly analytical techniques available, but also is one of the most sustainable. It is only impressive to find this technique being deployed on so many aspects and at various levels. This review paper aims to serve as a compilation of the latest techniques and methods, deployed in the drug assay industry of a few cardiovascular drugs and also serves a comparative study between RP-HPLC and MLC. Namely, Atenolol, Metoprolol, Felodipine and Diltiazem are the drugs found to be consumed at a very large scale all over the globe.

 

Micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is a green and sustainable technique for analysis of drug formulations. MLC is not only greener out of the two, but is also cost effective. It is said to have mobile phase of 90% or more water (v/v), which can even be recycled if the injection volumes are few and distantly made. A few modifications in the RP-HPLC system serves as a gate way to this analytical technique. MLC has the same setup as RP-HPLC system yet the methodology involved is different. The difference lies in the mobile and stationary phase development during the analysis. With few modifications, the interactions involved in the separation are hightened, resulting in quantification. The chromatograms produced are yet blunt and/or broad. With the issue of reduced efficiency, it has only the green factor at its disposal. MLC is a technique being explored for ways to enhance it's efficiency. After almost 45 years of this technique's discovery, it still captures attention of eager scientists. The working principle involved in the techniques are discussed along with the recent method development and discussions. The quantification of the potent drugs lead to newly proposed ideas being scribbled and brought to life every day. The potential methods and the chromatographic conditions for cardiovascular drugs are taken in account in this review paper, keeping in mind their versatility, cost-effectiveness and their green approach.
Dynamics of Interacting Ultracold Atoms and Emergent Quantum States
Creators: name: Lyu, Changyuan
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Atomic and molecular physics

description: The development of ultracold atom physics enables people to study fundamental questions in quantum mechanics within this highly-tunable platform. This dissertation focuses on several topics of the dynamical evolution of quantum systems.Chapter 2 and 3 talk about Loschmidt echo, a simple quantity that reveals many hidden properties of a system’s time evolution. Chapter 2 looks for vanishing Loschmidt echo in the complex plane of time and the corresponding dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPT) in the thermodynamic limit. For a two-site Bose-Hubbard model consisting of weakly interacting particles, DQPTs reside at the time scale inversely proportional to the interaction, where highly entangled pair condensates also show up. Chapter 3 discusses the revival of Loschmidt echo in a discrete time crystal, a Floquet system whose discrete temporal transition symmetry is spontaneously broken. We propose a new design and demonstrate its robustness against the fluctuations in the driving field. It can also be used in precision measurement to go beyond the Heisenberg limit. Experimental schemes are presented.Out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) is a more complicated variant of Loschmidt echo. Experimentally it requires reversing the time evolution. In Chapter 4, by exploiting the SU(1,1) symmetry of a weakly interacting BEC and connecting its quantum dynamics to a hyperbolic space, we obtain a geometric framework that enables experimentalists to manipulate the evolution with great freedom. Backward evolution is then realized effectively to measure OTOC of such SU(1,1) systems.Chapter 5 discusses the decoherence of a spin impurity immersed in a spinor BEC. Our calculations show that by looking at the dynamics of the impurity’s reduced density matrix, the phase of the spinor BEC can be detected.

For instance, it is often the case that rotating an imagedoes not change its meaning; the target variable is likely invariant to rotations of the input. Models for graph and set data are typically designed to be permutation-invariant, since the order of set elements and isomorphisms of graphs usually do not change their meaning, but a unified paradigm for both types of data is lacking. Moreover, existing models are either insufficiently flexible or difficult to reliably train in practice. This dissertation presents Janossy pooling (JP), a novel framework for training neural networks that are (approximately) invariant to a prespecified finite group of transformations (e.g., permutations), with a focus on graphs and sets. Motivated by partial exchangeability and Janossy densities, we view transformation-invariant models as averages over all transformations of the input, each passed to a transformation-sensitive function. As the set of transformations can be very large, we advance three approximation strategies: π-Stochastic Gradient Descent (π-SGD), k-ary approximations, and poly-canonical orderings. Compared to state-of-the-art approaches, JP is capable of expressing a richer class of models than Message Passing Graph Neural Networks and does not necessitate the use of highly complex and discontinuous functions for modeling sets effectively. Empirical evidence, including experiments on molecular and protein-protein-interaction datasets, supports the theory we develop and the practical benefits of JP. However, on another note, it may be unclear whether enforcing invariances is appropriate in any given task, such as in the case of time-evolving graphs.
Accordingly, we propose a data-driven scheme where the extent of transformation sensitivity is determined by a regularization hyperparameter. This approach invokes the Birkhoff-von Neumann theorem, making it directly applicable to both graphs and sets, and establishes a link between existing methods and infinitely strong regularization. Finally, we verify this approach experimentally.

description: Renewable plant biomass represents a rich source of fixed carbon that is poised to accelerate the growth of the bioeconomy because it is widely available, underused, and inexpensive. Similarly, because it is a ubiquitous, carbohydrate-rich feedstock that can be used in a broad range of bioprocesses, current and emerging technologies are being designed to transform these feedstocks into a variety of products including surfactants, food additives, pigments, plastics, and biofuels. However, current strategies to deconstruct recalcitrant plant materials rely on expensive enzymes with inefficient and harsh pretreatment steps. However, anaerobic fungi degrade a variety of crude, untreated biomass materials into fermentable sugars that can be converted into various products making them an appealing, low-cost solution to this problem. Although there are potential applications in industry for anaerobic fungi, it remains untapped because of the difficulties in cultivating them, sequencing their genomes, and genetically engineering them. In this work, three novel anaerobic fungi were isolated, and their genomes were sequenced to identify their genomic potential that was then leveraged to develop bioprocesses and engineering tools. Specifically, I developed methods to acquire the first gapless genomes for anaerobic fungi to provide more comprehensive insight into their capabilities. The biomass hydrolyzing abilities of one strain were characterized and leveraged as a pretreatment system for plant biomass; by partnering these anaerobic fungi with K. marxianus yeast, higher carbon conversion to fine and commodity chemicals was achieved as part of a two-stage bioproduction system. Similarly, the genomes were leveraged to identify novel genes for mevalonate production. My analysis of codon utilization due to the unusual GC composition of these genomes overcome one of the challenges with heterologous gene expression, leading to a hybrid pathway in E. coli with titers up to 2.5 g/L of mevalonate. Finally, a basic set of genetic tools was created including promoters, reporters, selection markers, and a gene-editing system that are still in development but form the fundamental toolbox for genetic engineering in anaerobic fungi. Together, this work provides a foundation for future genetic and metabolic engineering approaches that can enhance the efficiency and production of chemicals and fuels from renewable plant biomass.

description: Ultrafine bubbles (UFB) technology is a novel tool in food safety with the potential to improve the potency of antimicrobials for the elimination of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, the first objective of this work was to investigate the impact of incorporating gas UFB [air and carbon dioxide (CO2)] on the efficacy of chlorine (Cl2; 100 and 200 ppm) and peracetic (PAA; 40 and 80 ppm) antimicrobial solutions against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes on artificially inoculated Gala apples. In brief, apples were dip inoculated with either E. coli or L. monocytogenes and then treated by dipping into Cl2 or PAA solutions with or without UFB for 1 or 2 min. Apples were then transferred directly into Dey-Engley neutralizing broth, hand massaged for 90 s, and microbial enumerations were performed. The incorporation of CO2 UFB in antimicrobial solutions resulted in significantly greater E. coli and L. monocytogenes reductions (2.1 and 2.4 Log CFU/apple, respectively) on apples compared to solutions without UFB (1.4 and 1.9 Log CFU/apple, respectively). However, the incorporation of air UFB resulted in similar log reductions of E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes (1.9 and 2.2 Log CFU/apple, respectively) on apples compared to antimicrobials with CO2 UFB and without UFB. The second major objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of incorporating gas [air, CO2, and nitrogen (N2)] UFB into Cl2 (50, 100, and 200 ppm) and PAA (20, 40, and 80 ppm) solutions against fresh (3 day) and aged (30 day) single- and multi-species biofilms of non-spore-forming pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes, and spore-forming non-pathogenic Bacillus subtilis on polypropylene, silicone, and stainless-steel surfaces. Biofilms were statically grown on polypropylene, silicone, and stainless steel coupons at 25°C for 3 days or 30 days, by immersing in a 3-strain cocktail of the respective bacteria in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth. Then coupons were treated by submerging in antimicrobial solutions with or without UFB for 1 minute, then swabbed into Dey-Engley neutralizing broth and enumerated. The incorporation of CO2 UFB in Cl2 and PAA antimicrobial solutions resulted in significantly greater log reductions of fresh and aged L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157: H7, B. subtilis and multi-species biofilms on all tested surfaces compared to antimicrobial solutions without UFB. This work shows the great potential of UFB in the food industry to enhance food safety.

description: Thermographic phosphors are useful compounds to determine temperature, due to their luminescence characteristics being a function of temperature. In this research, Zinc Oxide: Gallium was evaluated for its ability to measure the temperature of an impact event in a drop weight apparatus. Different solids loadings of the phosphor were placed in a sylgard binder and these samples were then excited by a 355 nm laser as they were impacted. Images of the event were captured through two separate filters with a high-speed camera, from which intensity ratios were formed. These intensity ratios correlated to a temperature, revealing the change in temperature of the sample throughout the impact. Initial testing at a repetition rate of 500 kHz provided insignificant data, due to difficulties with timing. The whole impact event was not able to be captured, and the imprecise timing of the drop did not allow for imaging of a specific area of the impact. Moving to a slower repetition rate of 50 kHz, the entire impact was captured on the high-speed camera, showing three separate areas of interest. The first section of this area was where the impact was first initiated, resulting in a temperature increase. Next, there was a temperature decrease, where the energy from the drop weight transitioned to deforming, rather than heating the sample. Lastly, there was a final temperature rise when the sample was fully compressed, but the impact was still occurring. This trend presented itself in all of the samples, supporting the idea that when combined with the intensity ratio method, ZnO:Ga embedded in a sylgard binder is an appropriate method to determine the temperature changes in a high-speed impact event.

description: Detecting the cosmic 21 cm signal from Epoch of Reionization (EoR) has always been a difficult task. Although the Galactic foreground can be regarded as a smooth power-law spectrum, due to the chromaticity of the antenna, additional structure will be introduced into the global spectrum, making the polynomial fitting algorithm perform poorly. In this paper, we introduce an improved polynomial fitting algorithm - the Vari-Zeroth-Order Polynomial (VZOP) fitting and use it to fit the simulation data. This algorithm is developed for the upcoming Low-frequency Anechoic Chamber Experiment (LACE), yet it is a general method suitable for application in any single antenna-based global 21 cm signal experiment. VZOP defines a 24-hour averaged beam model that brings information about the antenna beam into the polynomial model. Assuming that the beam can be measured, VZOP can successfully recover the 21 cm absorption feature, even if the beam is extremely frequency-dependent. In real observations, due to various systematics, the corrected measured beam contains residual errors that are not completely random. Assuming the errors are frequency-dependent, VZOP is capable of recovering the 21 cm absorption feature even when the error reaches 10%. Even in the most extreme scenario where the errors are completely random, VZOP can at least give a fitting result that is not worse than the common polynomial fitting. In conclusion, the fitting effect of VZOP depends on the structure of the error and the accuracy of the beam measurement.

description: Seit dem 1. Januar 2009 sind die Gemeinden im Kanton Uri gesetzlich verpflichtet, einen professionellen Sozialdienst zu führen. Um diese Forderung umzusetzen, schlossen sich die Gemeinden zu regionalen Diensten zusammen. Bis anhin wurde die Ausrichtung der Sozialhilfe in den meisten Gemeinden durch das Milizorgan vorgenommen. Die Professionalisierung brachte neue Strukturen und grosse Veränderungen. Diese qualitative Forschungsarbeit widmet sich dieser Entwicklung aus Sicht von Menschen, welche in strategischer oder operativer Form in den Sozialhilferegionen tätig sind. Die Autorin hat Sozialratspersonen, Sozialarbeitende und Sozialtätige mittels Leitfadeninterviews zur Entwicklung, zum Professionalisierungsgrad, zum eigenen Professionalisierungsverständnis und zur Rolle der Sozialarbeit in der weiteren Entwicklung befragt. Die Forschungsergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass die Sozialarbeit in der bisherigen Entwicklung eine zentrale Rolle einnahm. So haben Sozialarbeitende für die Profession Stellung bezogen und begründet, warum es Sozialarbeit braucht. In den heutigen Sozialhilferegionen ist bereits ein gewisser Professionalisierungsgrad, welcher mit Kriterien der SKOS verglichen wurde, vorhanden. Die involvierten Perso-nen haben zudem ein hohes Professionalisierungsverständnis. Auch in der weiteren Entwicklung wird der Sozialarbeit eine wichtige Rolle zugeschrieben. Um die Stärken der Sozialarbeit gegen aussen vertreten zu können, braucht es allerdings eine klare Haltung, wozu eine starke professionelle Identität nötig ist. Sozialarbeit kann also, macht sie sich für ihre Profession stark, viel bewirken.
