METAMORPHOSIS AND TRANSITIONAL FEMALE IDENTITIES IN ANGELA CARTER'S FAIRY TALES
Creators: name: PASOLINI, ANNA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: This thesis develops new readings of the poetics and the politics of Angela Carter?s The Bloody Chamber and other Stories (1979) through the key image of the metamorphosis, which becomes the core concept to develop and scrutinise reflections on desire, sexuality, identity, role positions, power-knowledge relations, storytelling and the materialization of the body. Metamorphic processes can be said to inform the fairy tales of the collection both under a thematic and a stylistic perspective, to the extent that transformation itself becomes a particularly suitable interpretative kernel within the analysis of their content as well as their style. Metamorphosis pervades indeed the plots and meanings of the tales, is a metaphor for alternative developments of female identity, and informs their structure and representation. In this work, the analysis of Carter?s fairy tales is carried out through ideas, images and narrative strategies conveying change and transformation, and is articulated into to four main issues. First of all, the way in which Carter plays with the generic conventions of fairy tales, and with their narrative structures and strategies is shown to be transformative, in that her re-writings perform a reconfiguration of, and disrupt readers? expectations towards, the traditional genre in terms of pedagogic content, symbolical meanings, and political consequences. Secondly, the tales are shown to display metamorphosing female identities, so that they elicit a critical, on occasion even controversial, reflection on sexual politics, above all on its inscription in the development of subjectivity, social relationships, empowerment and freedom. Thirdly, and strictly connected with the previous points, the metamorphoses portrayed in Carter?s tales are explored with reference to the role played by the body in terms of textual and sexual politics. Representations of the body are thus questioned in order to show how they comply with or disrupt established generic norms and conventions of the genre, and how this has an impact on the feminine ideal that its conventions traditionally purported to fashion and hand down. Last but not least, given the importance and the subversive potential of Carter?s peculiar and challenging use of language, the last part of this thesis is devoted to a thorough analysis of her words. Hence, the last chapter endeavours to perform a corpus stylistic study of some tales of The Bloody Chamber, that is, to investigate the texts by applying corpus linguistic methods to literary analysis.

description: Chlamydomonas shows both positive and negative phototaxis. It has a single eyespot near its equator and as the cell rotates during forward motion the light signal received by the eyespot varies. We use a simple mechanical model of Chlamydomonas that couples the flagellar beat pattern to the light intensity at the eyespot to demonstrate a mechanism for phototactic steering that is consistent with observations. The direction of phototaxis is controlled by a parameter in our model and the steering mechanism is robust to noise. Our model shows switching between directed phototaxis when the light is on and run-and-tumble behaviour in the dark.

description: Cutting-edge hyperscanning methods led to a paradigm shift in social neuroscience. It allowed researchers to measure dynamic mutual alignment of neural processes between two or more individuals in naturalistic contexts. The ever-growing interest in hyperscanning research calls for the development of transparent and validated data analysis methods to further advance the field. We have developed and tested a dual electroencephalography (EEG) analysis pipeline, namely DEEP. Following the preprocessing of the data, DEEP allows users to calculate Phase Locking Values (PLVs) and cross-frequency PLVs as indices of inter-brain phase alignment of dyads as well as time-frequency responses and EEG power for each participant. The pipeline also includes scripts to control for spurious correlations. Our goal is to contribute to open and reproducible science practices by making DEEP publicly available together with an example mother-infant EEG hyperscanning dataset.

description: The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important biomedical model organism used in many disciplines. The phenomenon of developmental delay in zebrafish embryos has been widely reported as part of a mutant or treatment-induced phenotype. However, the detection and quantification of these delays is often achieved through manual observation, which is both time-consuming and subjective. We present KimmelNet, a deep learning model trained to predict embryo age (hours post fertilisation) from 2D brightfield images. KimmelNet’s predictions agree closely with established staging methods and can detect developmental delays between populations with high confidence using as few as 100 images. Moreover, KimmelNet generalises to previously unseen data, with transfer learning enhancing its performance. With the ability to analyse tens of thousands of standard brightfield microscopy images on a timescale of minutes, we envisage that KimmelNet will be a valuable resource for the developmental biology community. Furthermore, the approach we have used could easily be adapted to generate models for other organisms.

description: The first law of thermodynamics at black hole horizons is known to be obtainable from the gravitational field equations. A recent study claims that the contributions at inner horizons should be considered in order to give the conventional first law of black hole thermodynamics. Following this method, we revisit the thermodynamic aspects of field equations in the Lovelock gravity and f(R) gravity by focusing on two typical classes of charged black holes in the two theories.

description: La presente tesi propone un'estensione della teoria delle perturbazioni Hamiltoniana al limite termodinamico (ossia, per sistemi con un numero infinito di gradi di libert� e una temperatura, o energia specifica, finita), nello spirito della teoria ergodica (cio�, in presenza di una misura invariante). Per un sistema concreto, il modello ?4 discreto, si ottiene una versione debole del teorema di Nehoroscev. Il risultato � che, nel limite termodinamico, esiste almeno un'osservabile, indipendente dall'energia, la cui funzione di autocorrelazione temporale rimanga significativamente discosta da zero fino a tempi esponenzialmente lunghi nei parametri perturbativi. La tesi � completata dalla discussione di argomenti correlati, ossia le propriet� analitiche generali delle funzioni di autocorrelazione temporale e un'applicazione euristica della teoria perturbativa al problema del limite di densit� nei plasmi magnetizzati.

description: Combining experimental data, numerical transport calculations, and theoretical analysis, we study the temperature-dependent resistivity of high-mobility 2D Si MOSFETs to search for signatures of weak localization induced quantum corrections in the effective metallic regime above the critical density of the so-called two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (2D MIT). The goal is to look for the effect of logarithmic insulating localization correction to the metallic temperature dependence in the 2D conductivity so as to distinguish between the 2D MIT being a true quantum phase transition versus being a finite-temperature crossover. We use the Boltzmann theory of resistivity including the temperature dependent screening effect on charged impurities in the system to fit the data. We analyze weak perpendicluar field magnetoresistance data taken in the vicinity of the transition and show that they are consistent with weak localization behavior in the strongly disordered regime $k_F\ell\gtrsim1$. Therefore we supplement the Botzmann transport theory with a logarithmic in temperature quantum weak localization correction and analyze the competition of the insulating temperature dependence of this correction with the metallic temperature dependence of the Boltzmann conductivity. Using this minimal theoretical model we find that the logarithmic insulating correction is masked by the metallic temperature dependence of the Botzmann resistivity and therefore the insulating $\log T$ behavior may be apparent only at very low temperatures which are often beyond the range of temperatures accessible experimentally. Analyzing the low-$T$ experimental Si MOSFET transport data we identify signatures of the putative insulating behavior at low temperature and density in the effective metallic phase.

description: This research develops an expanded unified growth theory that incorporates the endogenous accumulation of physical capital, population, human capital, and technology. The model incorporates a complementarity between physical capital and human capital and can be extended to a multi-country setting with international technology diffusion. The analytical characterization of the mechanisms behind the observed patterns of long-run growth and comparative development delivers a consistent explanation for a large set of seemingly unrelated empirical facts. A quantitative multi-country version of the model matches various empirical regularities of long-run growth dynamics and comparative development patterns that have previously been studied in isolation. The findings also shed new light on the role of the demographic transition for convergence patterns, the specification of cross-country growth regressions, technology spillovers, and the secular stagnation debate.

description: We solve the nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) using matrix product states (MPS). This allows us to treat much larger bath sizes and by that reach substantially longer times (factor $\sim$ 2 -- 3) than with exact diagonalization. We show that the star geometry of the underlying impurity problem can have substantially better entanglement properties than the previously favoured chain geometry. This has immense consequences for the efficiency of an MPS-based description of general impurity problems: in the case of equilibrium DMFT, it leads to an orders-of-magnitude speedup. We introduce an approximation for the two-time hybridization function that uses time-translational invariance, which can be observed after a certain relaxation time after a quench to a time-independent Hamiltonian.

description: We report the transitions among different oscillation quenching states induced by the interplay of diffusive (direct) coupling and environmental (indirect) coupling in coupled identical oscillators. This coupling scheme was introduced by Resmi {\it et al}. [Phys. Rev. E, 84, 046212 (2011)] as a general scheme to induce amplitude death (AD) in nonlinear oscillators. Using a detailed bifurcation analysis we show that in addition to AD, which actually occurs only in a small region of parameter space, this coupling scheme can induce other oscillation quenching states, namely oscillation death (OD) and a novel nontrvial AD (NAD) state, which is a nonzero {\it bistable} homogeneous steady state; more importantly, this coupling mediates a transition from AD to OD state and a new transition from AD to NAD state. We identify diverse routes to the NAD state and map all the transition scenarios in the parameter space for periodic oscillators. Finally, we present the first experimental evidence of oscillation quenching states and their transitions induced by the interplay of direct and indirect coupling.

description: We investigate the cosmic evolution of the internal structure of massive early-type galaxies over half of the age of the Universe. We perform a joint lensing and stellar dynamics analysis of a sample of 81 strong lenses from the SL2S and SLACS surveys and combine the results with a hierarchical Bayesian inference method to measure the distribution of dark matter mass and stellar IMF across the population of massive early-type galaxies. Lensing selection effects are taken into account. We find that the dark matter mass projected within the inner 5 kpc increases for increasing redshift, decreases for increasing stellar mass density, but is roughly constant along the evolutionary tracks of early-type galaxies. The average dark matter slope is consistent with that of an NFW profile, but is not well constrained. The stellar IMF normalization is close to a Salpeter IMF at $\log{M_*} = 11.5$ and scales strongly with increasing stellar mass. No dependence of the IMF on redshift or stellar mass density is detected. The anti-correlation between dark matter mass and stellar mass density supports the idea of mergers being more frequent in more massive dark matter halos.

description: The authors present a case study of how the Press Association (PA) implemented elegant, frictionless tools to enable the creation, enrichment and management of semantic metadata. The project evolved from the very successful work done by the PA to supply semantically-enriched content to the official Olympics website.
Commercial off-the-shelf products for managing metadata were investigated, but for a number of reasons including cost and difficulties of integration, we decided to build and rapidly prototype a custom solution in-house. We will show how this approach enabled greater business buy-in for semantics, through providing a visually attractive, usable interface for non-specialist data curators, combined with powerful widgets to ingest data from diverse sources.
The technical architecture will be discussed in an accessible way, including how the use of APIs enabled third party linked data on the web to be ingested, refined and then exported to a triple store and a text analytics application for concept extraction. We will highlight both what went well and what didn't, as well as covering some of the particular metadata challenges that a major news organization faces, such as quality assurance, disambiguation, governance and maintenance.

description: We study isolated finite interacting quantum systems after an instantaneous perturbation and show three scenarios in which the probability for finding the initial state later in time (fidelity) decays nonexponentially, often all the way to saturation. The decays analyzed involve Gaussian, Bessel of the first kind, and cosine squared functions. The Gaussian behavior emerges in systems with two-body interactions in the limit of strong perturbation. The Bessel function, associated with the evolution under full random matrices, is obtained with surprisingly sparse random matrices. The cosine squared behavior, established by the energy-time uncertainty relation, is approached after a local perturbation in space.

description: A transition toward a sustainable way of living is more pressing than ever. One link to achieving this transition is to increase the currently low level of sustainable consumption, and sustainability labeling has been shown to directly influence sustainable purchasing decisions. E-commerce retailers have recently picked up on a means to inform online shoppers about sustainable alternatives by introducing on their websites third-party and private sustainability labels as nudging instruments. However, despite its increasing relevance in practice, research lacks evidence about the availability and credibility of sustainability labeling in online retail. Our study is guided by the question of how online retailers use sustainability labels to communicate information on the sustainability of products to consumers. Our empirical research is based on a large-scale dataset containing sustainability information of nearly 17,000 fashion products of the leading online retailers in Germany Zalando and Otto. The results show that a large number of fashion products are tagged as sustainable, with two-thirds carrying a private label and one-third a third-party verified label. Only 14% of the tagged products, however, present credible third-party verified sustainability labels. This low percentage makes it challenging for consumers to comprehend to what degree a product is sustainable. The wide distribution of private labels indicates that most of the available sustainability information in the selected online shops addresses only single sustainability issues, preventing comparability. Furthermore, label heterogeneity can add to the confusion and uncertainty among consumers. Our practical recommendations support political initiatives that tackle the risk of greenwashing resulting from uncertified and weak sustainability information.
Geometric Sub-bundles

description:  Let $\mathfrak{X}$ be a topological stack, and $LocSys(\mathfrak{X})$ a local system taking varieties $v \in \mathfrak{X}$ to their projective resolutions over an affine coordinate system. Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be smooth charts encompassing non-degenerate loci of the upper-half plane, and let $\varphi$ be the map $\beta \circ \alpha^{-1}$. Our goal is to describe a class of vector bundles, called $\emph{geometric sub-bundles}$, which provide holonomic transport for n-cells (for small values of n) over a $G_\delta$-space which models the passage $\mathfrak{X} \rightrightarrows LocSys(\mathfrak{X})$. We will first establish the preliminary definitions before advancing our core idea, which succinctly states that for a pointed, stratified space $Strat_M^\ast$, there is a canonical selection of transition maps $[\varphi]$ which preserves the intersection of a countable number of fibers in some sub-bundle of the bundle $Bun_V$ over $LocSys(\mathfrak{X})$.

description: We analyze the ultimate bounds on the phase sensitivity of an interferometer, given the constraint that the state input to the interferometer's initial 50:50 beamsplitter $B$ is a product state of the two input modes. Requiring a product state is a natural restriction: if one were allowed to input an arbitrary, entangled two-mode state $|Ξ\rangle$ to the beamsplitter, one could generally just as easily input the state $B|Ξ\rangle$ directly into the two modes after the beamsplitter, thus rendering the beamsplitter unnecessary. We find optimal states for a fixed photon number and for a fixed mean photon number.
Effective model for massless Dirac electrons on a surface of weak topological insulators

description: In a typical situation, gapless surface states of a three-dimensional (3D) weak topological insulator (WTI) appear only on sides, leaving the top and bottom surfaces gapped. To describe massless Dirac electrons emergent on such side surfaces of a WTI, a two-dimensional (2D) model consisting of a series of one-dimensional helical channels is usually employed. Yet, explicit derivation of such a model from a 3D bulk Hamiltonian has been lacking. Here, we explicitly derive an effective 2D model for the WTI surface states starting from a Wilson-Dirac Hamiltonian for the bulk WTI and establish a firm basis to the hitherto hypothesized 2D model. We show that the resulting 2D model accurately reproduces the excitation spectrum of surface Dirac electrons determined by the 3D model. We also show that the 2D model is applicable to a side surface with atomic steps.

description: In this work, we propose a dynamical systems perspective on the modeling of sepsis and its organ-damaging consequences. We develop a functional two-layer network model for sepsis based upon the interaction of parenchymal cells and immune cells via cytokines, and the coevolutionary dynamics of parenchymal, immune cells, and cytokines. By means of the simple paradigmatic model of phase oscillators in a two-layer system, we analyze the emergence of organ threatening interactions between the dysregulated immune system and the parenchyma. We demonstrate that the complex cellular cooperation between parenchyma and stroma (immune layer) either in the physiological or in the pathological case can be related to dynamical patterns of the network. In this way we explain sepsis by the dysregulation of the healthy homeostatic state (frequency synchronized) leading to a pathological state (desynchronized or multifrequency cluster) in the parenchyma. We provide insight into the complex stabilizing and destabilizing interplay of parenchyma and stroma by determining critical interaction parameters. The coupled dynamics of parenchymal cells (metabolism) and nonspecific immune cells (response of the innate immune system) is represented by nodes of a duplex layer. Cytokine interaction is modeled by adaptive coupling weights between nodes representing immune cells (with fast adaptation timescale) and parenchymal cells (slow adaptation timescale), and between pairs of parenchymal and immune cells in the duplex network (fixed bidirectional coupling). The proposed model allows for a functional description of organ dysfunction in sepsis and the recurrence risk in a plausible pathophysiological context.
The Conceptual and Disciplinary Segregation of Disability: a Phenomenography of Science Education Graduate Student Learning

description: Science teacher education has long sought to educate new science teachers to more fully understand “Science-for-all” and prepare them to effectively navigate diverse contexts. To adopt this “Science-for-all” mantra, we need to address what the labeling (i.e., categorical labeling and/or mislabeling) of students with disabilities means for science teacher education. This paper provides a critical inquiry to ground the claim that disability operates subversively and unrecognized as a marker of difference similar to labels that produce exclusion in science education (e.g., race, class, and gender). Using a phenomenographic design, this research studied graduate students’ conceptualizations of disability as they progressed through the only required diversity course at a large, urban university in the American northeast. Primary data sources included in-depth, pre-/post-course interviews with supplemental data collected from biweekly course reflections. Phenomenographic data analyses addressed to what extent these graduate students embraced a disability studies perspective relative to disability—i.e., viewing disability beyond merely individual deficit. Findings suggest that the course sustained the relatively static conceptualizations about disability held by the participants related to individual deficiency rather than pushing for more critical views of disability beyond deficiency. Implications are discussed in relation to multicultural science teacher education course goals.

Exploring Gaussian elimination based solution methods of electric systems using circuit principles
Creators: Tong Duan, Venkata Dinavahi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

In power system simulation, the mathematical solution methods are typically regarded as pure numerical operations, which are independent of the circuit principles. In this letter, it is demonstrated that the computational procedures in the commonly used numerical solution methods for circuit equations are essentially equivalent to the basic principles of electricity. The computational procedures of the representative Gaussian elimination based solution methods (including GE and pivoting method for sparsity of GE/LU) are comprehensively analyzed and their deep relationships with the circuit principles are revealed: the computation process of these mathematics based numerical solution methods can be completely explained using circuit principles. The interesting findings could help understand the computational process of solution methods from the circuit perspective, which may also guide the design of new circuit solution methods.

description: Broad absorption lines (BALs) are present in the spectra of ~20% of quasars (QSOs); this indicates fast outflows (up to 0.2c) that intercept the observer's line of sight. These QSOs can be distinguished again into radio-loud (RL) BAL QSOs and radio-quiet (RQ) BAL QSOs. The first are very rare, even four times less common than RQ BAL QSOs. The reason for this is still unclear and leaves open questions about the nature of the BAL-producing outflows and their connection with the radio jet. We explored the spectroscopic characteristics of RL and RQ BAL QSOs with the aim to find a possible explanation for the rarity of RL BAL QSOs. We identified two samples of genuine BAL QSOs from SDSS optical spectra, one RL and one RQ, in a suitable redshift interval (2.5$

description: In this paper, we propose to leverage the Bayesian uncertainty information encoded in parameter distributions to inform the learning procedure for Bayesian models. We derive a first principle stochastic differential equation for the training dynamics of the mean and uncertainty parameter in the variational distributions. On the basis of the derived Bayesian stochastic differential equation, we apply the methodology of stochastic optimal control on the variational parameters to obtain individually controlled learning rates. We show that the resulting optimizer, StochControlSGD, is significantly more robust to large learning rates and can adaptively and individually control the learning rates of the variational parameters. The evolution of the control suggests separate and distinct dynamical behaviours in the training regimes for the mean and uncertainty parameters in Bayesian neural networks.

description: We study the exponential stability of evolutionary equations. The focus is laid on second order problems and we provide a way to rewrite them as a suitable first order evolutionary equation, for which the stability can be proved by using frequency domain methods. The problem class under consideration is broad enough to cover integro-differential equations, delay-equations and classical evolution equations within a unified framework.

description: Initial experiments in the design process of a novel 3D printed conformal propellant tank for small satellites are conducted. Contact angle measurements of static colored water droplets on printed PLA, PMMA, and PETG sample plates are performed. Additionally, the optical characteristics of transparent printed tanks of two to five millimeter wall thickness and with three illumination setups are evaluated. The results indicate that the influence of fluorescein as a colorant in the useful concentration only slightly affects the contact angle measurements. The combination of well scattered UV light and use the smallest possible wall thicknesses, on the order of two millimeters, made out of PLA provides the best visibility. These findings enable the development of a printed conformal tank design with an integrated PMD.

description: Our contribution aims at building bridges between academics and practitioners (NGOs, Public authorities, and social entrepreneurs) through an adaptative and inclusive knowledge hub on 15-min cities. This endeavor faces several problems linked to the lack of interconnection between the stakeholders 'experiences and the lack of tools, and dedicated studies. These problems tend to weaken the decision-making. Our main effort addresses the need for a knowledge polarization and for a common space to share experiences. 
The present contribution presents a synthesis of the knowledge presented in a "scientific seminar open to practitioners" held in Milano in 2023. This synthesis could benefit practitioners by facilitating the access to the knowledge produced. This synthesis may also indicate avenues for future research. The synthesis is organized in five themes: the definition of 15-minute city, proximity according to a specific mode, the planification based on the 15-minute city principles, examples of inclusivity in a 15-minute city, and evaluation of the 15-minute city.

description: Emerging and re-emerging pathogens and more specifically, water-borne pathogens continue to be a burden globally. In East Africa, water-borne infectious diseases include cholera, cryptosporidiosis, giardia, hepatitis A and E, leptospirosis, schistosomiasis, and typhoid. Watering holes are an understudied environment for surveillance, in Laikipia County, Kenya. These locations provide a unique perspective as it is a shared environment between animals, livestock, and humans and allow the ability to conduct pathogen surveillance under a One Health framework. Throughout Laikipia County, 10 watering holes were sampled. Within Kenya, there have been outbreaks of cholera, schistosomiasis is considered endemic, and leptospirosis has a high global burden (Chadeka et al., 2019). To our knowledge, there has not been a study in Laikipia County studying water samples from watering holes for zoonotic infectious diseases. Of increasing concern, due to climate change, there has been a scarcity of resources, and certain watering holes are now almost or completely empty during portions of the year. In addition, there has been an ongoing drought which has led to an increase in the shared usage of watering holes and made water a valuable resource amongst humans and animals. From May 2020 until March 2022, 122 pooled water samples were collected from 10 watering holes within Laikipia County. The samples were processed and sequenced using a Mk1C MinION, with output sequences analyzed through a data pipeline. Partial reads from the following microorganisms were detected: Acanthamoeba castellanii, Aeromonas veronii, Brevibacillus brevis, Gardnerella vaginalis, Legionella pneumophila, Orientia tsutsugamushi, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae. Samples were further examined for potential contigs, many of the samples had limited mapping to the reference genome, often with no coverage overlapping. These findings highlight the potential uses of metagenomics for environmental surveillance and the need for more studies conducting work with environmental DNA and metagenomics. Additionally, this thesis starts to contribute towards a larger conversation within science about the reliability and confidence or working with and analyzing genetic data.

description: Although 3D models are today indispensable in various industries, the adequate pricing of 3D models traded on online platforms, i.e., virtual 3D assets, remains vague. This study identifies relevant price determinants of virtual 3D assets through the analysis of a dataset containing the characteristics of 135.384 3D models. Machine learning algorithms were applied to derive a virtual 3D asset price prediction tool based on the analysis results. The evaluation revealed that the random forest regression model is the most promising model to predict virtual 3D asset prices. Furthermore, the findings imply that the geometry and number of material files, as well as the quality of textures, are the most relevant price determinants, whereas animations and file formats play a minor role. However, the analysis also showed that the pricing behavior is still substantially influenced by the subjective assessment of virtual 3D asset creators.

Pileup Per Particle Identification

description: We propose a new method for pileup mitigation by implementing "pileup per particle identification" (PUPPI). For each particle we first define a local shape $α$ which probes the collinear versus soft diffuse structure in the neighborhood of the particle. The former is indicative of particles originating from the hard scatter and the latter of particles originating from pileup interactions. The distribution of $α$ for charged pileup, assumed as a proxy for all pileup, is used on an event-by-event basis to calculate a weight for each particle. The weights describe the degree to which particles are pileup-like and are used to rescale their four-momenta, superseding the need for jet-based corrections. Furthermore, the algorithm flexibly allows combination with other, possibly experimental, probabilistic information associated with particles such as vertexing and timing performance. We demonstrate the algorithm improves over existing methods by looking at jet $p_T$ and jet mass. We also find an improvement on non-jet quantities like missing transverse energy.
