title: The Four Axes of Legal Ideology
Creators: name: Wardle, Benjamin James
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Slavoj Žižek
subject: Legal ideology
subject: Social stratification

description: The writings of Slavoj Žižek have greatly expanded our understanding of how social stratification is maintained through ideology. However, those writing on the ideological operation of law are yet to engage with Žižek’s work. This thesis draws on Žižek’s multifaceted definition of ideology to provide unique insights into the ways that law is implicated in the maintenance of systemic inequality in liberal democracies. Ideology is defined as incorporating four interdependent and interrelated axes. The first axis, discourses, explains how communicative networks often controlled by the powerful lead people to view contingent, cultured and historic concepts necessary for social hierarchy as universal, egalitarian or eternal. It is asserted that the dominant legal norms of individual freedom and formal equality act in this way by masking the systemic oppression prevalent in liberal democracies. These norms also permeate abstract individualism and colonise popular understandings of two potentially revolutionary concepts. The second axis, spontaneous beliefs, analyses how people instinctively react to unfamiliar situations drawing on ideological discourses in ways that adapt, develop and individualise beliefs that are intimately entwined with social hierarchies. In daily experiences people draw on the dominant norms of abstraction and individualism permeated by law. In doing so these norms are amended to suit changing social conditions. The production of legal ideology is consequently not the exclusive terrain of professional ideologues like academics, politicians and judges but is assisted by people from all walks of life in seemingly mundane and ordinary circumstances.

description: From virtual reality and telepresence, to augmented reality, holoportation, and remotely controlled robotics, these future network applications promise an unprecedented development for society, economics and culture by revolutionizing the way we live, learn, work and play. In order to deploy such futuristic applications and to cater to their performance requirements, recent trends stressed the need for the Tactile Internet, an Internet that, according to the International Telecommunication Union, combines ultra low latency with extremely high availability, reliability and security. Unfortunately, today's Internet falls short when it comes to providing such stringent requirements due to several fundamental limitations in the design of the current network architecture and communication protocols. This brings the need to rethink the network architecture and protocols, and efficiently harness recent technological advances in terms of virtualization and network softwarization to design the Tactile Internet of the future. In this paper, we start by analyzing the characteristics and requirements of future networking applications. We then highlight the limitations of the traditional network architecture and protocols and their inability to cater to these requirements. Afterward, we put forward a novel network architecture adapted to the Tactile Internet called FlexNGIA, a Flexible Next-Generation Internet Architecture. We then describe some use-cases where we discuss the potential mechanisms and control loops that could be offered by FlexNGIA in order to ensure the required performance and reliability guarantees for future applications. Finally, we identify the key research challenges to further develop FlexNGIA towards a full-fledged architecture for the future Tactile Internet.

description: This the first of a set of three papers about the Compression Theorem: if M^m is embedded in Q^q X R with a normal vector field and if q-m > 0, then the given vector field can be straightened (ie, made parallel to the given R direction) by an isotopy of M and normal field in Q X R. The theorem can be deduced from Gromov's theorem on directed embeddings [M Gromov, Partial differential relations, Springer-Verlag (1986); 2.4.5 C'] and is implicit in the preceeding discussion. Here we give a direct proof that leads to an explicit description of the finishing embedding. In the second paper in the series we give a proof in the spirit of Gromov's proof and in the third part we give applications.

description: Advancements in clinical treatment are increasingly constrained by the limitations of supervised learning techniques, which depend heavily on large volumes of annotated data. The annotation process is not only costly but also demands substantial time from clinical specialists. Addressing this issue, we introduce the S4MI (Self-Supervision and Semi-Supervision for Medical Imaging) pipeline, a novel approach that leverages advancements in self-supervised and semi-supervised learning. These techniques engage in auxiliary tasks that do not require labeling, thus simplifying the scaling of machine supervision compared to fully-supervised methods. Our study benchmarks these techniques on three distinct medical imaging datasets to evaluate their effectiveness in classification and segmentation tasks. Notably, we observed that self supervised learning significantly surpassed the performance of supervised methods in the classification of all evaluated datasets. Remarkably, the semi-supervised approach demonstrated superior outcomes in segmentation, outperforming fully-supervised methods while using 50% fewer labels across all datasets. In line with our commitment to contributing to the scientific community, we have made the S4MI code openly accessible, allowing for broader application and further development of these methods.

description: The majority of approaches for acquiring dense 3D environment maps with RGB-D cameras assumes static environments or rejects moving objects as outliers. The representation and tracking of moving objects, however, has significant potential for applications in robotics or augmented reality. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to dynamic SLAM with dense object-level representations. We represent rigid objects in local volumetric signed distance function (SDF) maps, and formulate multi-object tracking as direct alignment of RGB-D images with the SDF representations. Our main novelty is a probabilistic formulation which naturally leads to strategies for data association and occlusion handling. We analyze our approach in experiments and demonstrate that our approach compares favorably with the state-of-the-art methods in terms of robustness and accuracy.

description: An extension of coupled maps is given which allows for the growth of the number of elements, and is inspired by the cell differentiation problem. The growth of elements is made possible first by clustering the phases, and then by differentiating roles. The former leads to the time sharing of resources, while the latter leads to the separation of roles for the growth. The mechanism of the differentiation of elements is studied. An extension to a model with several internal phase variables is given, which shows differentiation of internal states. The relevance of interacting dynamics with internal states (``intra-inter" dynamics) to biological problems is discussed with an emphasis on heterogeneity by clustering, macroscopic robustness by partial synchronization and recursivity with the selection of initial conditions and digitalization.

description: The space of complete collineations is a compactification of the space of matrices of fixed dimension and rank, whose boundary is a divisor with normal crossings. It was introduced in the 19th century and has been used to solve many enumerative problems. We show that this venerable space can be understood using the latest quotient constructions in algebraic geometry. Indeed, there is a detailed analogy between the complete collineations and the moduli space of stable pointed curves of genus zero. The remarkable results of Kapranov exhibiting the latter space as a Chow quotient, Hilbert quotient, and so on, all have counterparts for complete collineations. This analogy encompasses Vainsencher's construction of the complete collineations, as well as a form of the Gel'fand-MacPherson correspondence. There is also a tangential relation with the Gromov-Witten invariants of Grassmannians. The symmetric and anti-symmetric versions of the problem are considered as well. An appendix explains the original motivation, which came from the space of broken Morse flows for the moment map of a circle action.

description: Thanks to the Cassini Huygens mission, it is now established that the first aerosols in Titan s upper atmosphere are found from an altitude of about 1200 km. Once they are formed and through their descent towards the surface, these nanoparticles are submitted to persistent Far Ultra-Violet (FUV) radiation that can reach lower atmospheric layers. Such an interaction has an impact, especially on the chemistry and charge budget of the atmospheric compounds. Models are useful to understand this photoprocessing, but they lack important input data such as the photoemission threshold or the absolute photoabsorption/emission cross sections of the aerosols. In order to quantify the photoemission processes, analogs of Titan s aerosols have been studied with the DESIRS FUV beamline at the synchrotron SOLEIL as isolated substrate-free nanoparticles. We present here the corresponding ARPES (Angle-Resolved PhotoElectron Spectroscopy) data recorded at different FUV photon energies. The results show a very low photoionization threshold (6.0 +/- 0.1 eV~ 207 nm) and very high absolute ionization cross sections (~106 Mb) indicating that FUV photoemission from aerosols is an intense source of slow electrons which has to be taken into account in photochemical models of Titan s atmosphere.

description: The group theoretical treatment of bound and scattering state problems is extended to include band structure. We show that one can realize Hamiltonians with periodic potentials as dynamical symmetries, where representation theory provides analytic solutions, or which can be treated with more general spectrum generating algebraic methods. We find dynamical symmetries for which we derive the transfer matrices and dispersion relations. Both compact and non-compact groups are found to play a role.

description: Star colloids are rigid particles with long and slender arms connected to a central core. We show numerically that the colloid shapes control the rheology of their suspensions. In particular, colloids with curved arms and hooks can entangle with neighbor particles and form large clusters that can sustain high stresses. When a large cluster permeates the whole system the viscosity increases many fold. Contrary to the case of spherical colloids we observe that these effects are very strong even at moderate volumes fraction over a wide range of Péclet numbers.

description: Superpositions of hierarchies of integrable equations are also integrable. The superposed equations, such as the Hirota equations in the AKNS hierarchy, cannot be considered as new integrable equations. Furthermore if one applies the Hirota bilinear method to these equations one obtains the same $N$-soliton solutions of the generating equation which differ only by the dispersion relations. Similar discussions can be made for the locally and nonlocally reduced equations as well. We give, as an example, AKNS system of equations in $(1+1)$-dimensions.

description: Motivated by a quaternionic formulation of quantum mechanics, we discuss quaternionic and complex linear differential equations. We touch only a few aspects of the mathematical theory, namely the resolution of the second order differential equations with constant coefficients. We overcome the problems coming out from the loss of the fundamental theorem of the algebra for quaternions and propose a practical method to solve quaternionic and complex linear second order differential equations with constant coefficients. The resolution of the complex linear Schrodinger equation, in presence of quaternionic potentials, represents an interesting application of the mathematical material discussed in this paper.

description: The source OGLE-BLG-DN-0064 (hereafter OGLE64) was classified as a potential dwarf nova based on its regular outburst activity revealed by the OGLE optical survey. In this paper, we investigate the X-ray and optical emissions from the source OGLE64 based on archival Chandra and Swift X-ray data and our optical observations with the 6-m BTA telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. OGLE64 shows an X-ray luminosity $ L_X \approx 1.6 \times 10^{32} \, \text{erg s}^{-1} $ and a high X-ray-to-optical flux ratio $ F_X / F_{\text{opt}} \approx 1.5$, typical for accreting white dwarfs. The X-ray spectrum of OGLE64 is better fitted by the models of a power law with a photon index $Γ\approx 1.9$ and an optically thin plasma with a temperature $ kT \approx 6.4 \, \text{keV} $. The optical spectrum shows hydrogen and neutral helium emission lines, in some of which a double-peaked structure is observed. An analysis of the outburst activity of OGLE64, based on data from the OGLE, ZTF, ATLAS, and ASAS-SN optical surveys, has revealed superoutbursts with a characteristic supercycle $ P_{\text{super}} \approx 400 \, \text{days} $. We found no significant variability in either the X-ray or optical light curves of OGLE64 that could be associated with the change in the visibility conditions for the emitting regions at different orbital phases. Our estimates of the orbital period of the system by indirect methods show that the period probably lies in the range $ P_{\text{orb}} \sim 1.5 - 3.5 \, \text{h} $. The properties of the X-ray and optical emissions from OGLE64 lead us to conclude that the system is an SU UMa-type dwarf nova.

description: Topological edge modes are excitations that are localized at the materials' edges and yet are characterized by a topological invariant defined in the bulk. Such bulk-edge correspondence has enabled the creation of robust electronic, electromagnetic and mechanical transport properties across a wide range of systems, from cold atoms to metamaterials, active matter and geophysical flows. Recently, the advent of non-Hermitian topological systems---wherein energy is not conserved---has sparked considerable theoretical advances. In particular, novel topological phases that can only exist in non-Hermitian systems have been introduced. However, whether such phases can be experimentally observed, and what their properties are, have remained open questions. Here, we identify and observe a novel form of bulk-edge correspondence for a particular non-Hermitian topological phase. We find that a change in the bulk non-Hermitian topological invariant leads to a change of topological edge mode localisation together with peculiar purely non-Hermitian properties. Using a quantum-to-classical analogy, we create a mechanical metamaterial with non-reciprocal interactions, in which we observe experimentally the predicted bulk-edge correspondence, demonstrating its robustness. Our results open new avenues for the field of non-Hermitian topology and for manipulating waves in unprecedented fashions.

Native species in reclamation of disturbed lands
Creators: name: Bell, Marcus A. M.
name: Meidinger, Dellis Vern, 1953-
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: When reclamation seeks to reintegrate disturbed lands into the natural landscape, use of native species could have decided ecological, economic and aesthetic advantages. As products of millions of years of adaption to varied environments, native species generally require no maintenance, are self perpetuating, and are visually integrated with surrounding landscapes. In the practical sense, native seed is presently unavailable commercially. Therefore, research is necessary on the collection of native seed and cuttings, the storage and treatment of seed for dormancy breaking and germination, the time of seeding and methods of propagation for maximum seedling establishment, the growth on different materials and sites, the selection of proper species combinations (including agronomics), and on the practical and cost aspects of commercial production. By observation in nature, and by lab experiments, native species should be evaluated for their role in succession, erosion control capability, contribution to soil humus, palatability for wildlife and visual integrating capabilities. Initially, research priority should be given to species suitable for difficult sites where agronomic species are relatively unsuccessful or costly to maintain (e.g. high elevations, steep slopes, dry areas). The immediate goal of this research would be the production of a catalogue of native species suitable for reclamation of disturbed lands in British Columbia. This catalogue would contain all available information on areas, sites, conditions, etc. for which species would be suitable as well as information on species germination, propagation, and early maintenance requirements. Establishment of an independent Reclamation Research Institute is proposed to fund and coordinate this research in connection with other aspects of reclamation in the province.

Facet and energy predictions in grain boundaries: lattice matching and molecular dynamics

description: Many material properties can be traced back to properties of their grain boundaries. Grain boundary energy (GBE), as a result, is a key quantity of interest in the analysis and modeling of microstructure. A standard method for calculating grain boundary energy is molecular dynamics (MD); however, on-the-fly MD calculations are not tenable due to the extensive computational time required. Lattice matching (LM) is a reduced-order method for estimating GBE quickly; however, it has only been tested against a relatively limited set of data, and does not have a suitable means for assessing error. In this work, we use the recently published dataset of Homer et al. [1] to assess the performance of LM over the full range of GB space, and to equip LM with a metric for error estimation. LM is used to generate energy estimates, along with predictions of facet morphology, for each of the 7,304 boundaries in the Homer dataset. In keeping with prior work, it is observed that LM predictions of low energy boundaries matches well with MD results. Moreover, there is a good general agreement between LM and MD, and it is apparent that the error scales approximately linearly with the predicted energy value; this makes it possible to establish an empirical estimate on error for future LM calculations. An essential part of the LM method is the faceting relaxation, which corrects the expected energy by convexification across the compact space (S2) of boundary plane orientations. The original Homer dataset did not allow for faceting, but upon extended annealing, it was shown that facet patterns similar to those predicted by LM were emerging.
Excess Freshwater Outflow from the Black Sea-Lake during Glacial and Deglacial Periods and Delayed Entry of Marine Water in the Early Holocene Require Evolving Sills

description: The Black Sea becomes periodically isolated from the global ocean during each glacial period. This occurs when the elevation of the global ocean is lower than the Bosporus sill, putting a stop to inflow of salt water to the Black Sea. This phenomenon allows the Black Sea to evolve from a marine environment to a freshwater one. It is also evident that the depth of the Bosporus sill does not remain at the same elevation, and instead is dynamic. The sill becomes filled with sediments during periods of its sub-aerial exposure but is subsequently eroded to its bedrock during periods of outflow from the Black Sea-Lake to the global ocean. This interpretation comes from the observations that during the last glacial period, the Black Sea-Lake was in a positive hydrological balance, fresh, and predominantly outflowing to the global ocean over a deep Bosporus sill, at approximately 80 meters below sea level (mbsl). It is highly likely that there were brief periods when the lake froze and the outflow suspended, such as during the extreme stadial conditions associated with the North Atlantic iceberg-discharge Heinrich Event 2 (HE 2) at ~24 kyr before present, when there is also no evident carbonate accumulation in stalagmites that receive water from evaporated Black Sea surface water. Upon the onset of deglaciation, large floods originating from the Fennoscandinavian Ice Sheet and the Alps, delivered meltwater so as to fully ventilate the Black Sea-Lake and even potentially replace all of the water in the basin. These floods occurred near the time of the deglacial iceberg-discharge Heinrich Event 1 (HE 1 at ~17 kyr before present), and left pulses of red-colored sediment everywhere on the western half of the Black Sea basin.

description: Many emergent phases of matter stem from the intertwined dynamics of quasiparticles. Here we show that a topological superconducting phase emerges as the result of interactions between electrons and magnons in a quantum wire and a helical magnet. The magnon-mediated interaction favors triplet superconductivity over a large magnetic phase space region, and stabilizes topological superconductivity over an extended region of chemical potentials. The superconducting gap depends exponentially on the spin-electron coupling, allowing it to be enhanced through material engineering techniques.

description: Modification of proteins in infant milk formula (IF) is of major concern to the dairy industry and consumers. Thermal treatment is required for microbiological safety, but heat, light, metal-ions and other factors may induce oxidative damage, and be a health risk. In this study protein modifications in IFs were quantified. IFs contained both reducible (disulphide) and non-reducible (di-tyrosine, lanthionine, lysinoalanine) protein cross-links. Dehydroalanine and the cross-linked species lanthionine and lysinoalanine were detected. Protein carbonyls were detected predominantly on high molecular mass materials. Oxidation products of phenylalanine (m-tyrosine), tryptophan (N-formylkynurenine, kynurenine, 3-hydroxykynurenine), tyrosine (di-tyrosine) and methionine (methionine sulphoxide) were detected, consistent with amino acid modification. Higher levels of most of the markers of protein modification were present in the hydrolysed protein brand, when compared to the conventional IF samples, indicative of increased damage during additional processing. Significant levels of racemised (D-) amino acids were present. These data indicate that amino acids in proteins in IFs are modified to a significant extent during manufacture, with hydrolysed IF being particularly prone.

description: After observing that the well-known convexity theorems of symplectic geometry also hold for compact contact manifolds with an effective action of a torus whose Reeb vector field corresponds to an element of the Lie algebra of the torus, we use this fact together with a recent symplectic orbifold version of Delzant's theorem due to Lerman and Tolman [LT] to show that every such compact toric contact manifold can be obtained by a contact reduction from an odd dimensional sphere.

 Type locality. ‘[China:] Yunnan: Lushui Co.’.
 Type material. Not examined.
 Diagnosis. Body length. JJ: 9.0 mm.
 Aedeagus in lateral view (Fig. 116): Median lobe slightly regularly bent in apical two thirds; lateral elevation low, placed in anterior third of aedeagus length. Dorsal process in lateral view: basal two thirds narrow, almost straight, apical third wider, apex pronounced to hook-like process directed upwards.
 Differential diagnosis. I have not have an oportunity to study the type material of Liroetis tibialis yet. Based on the original description, L. tibialis is very similar to L. flavipennis. Both species show only slight differences in the structure of aedeagus (cf. Figs 108, 116). At the moment, I treat L. tibialis as a valid species; however, it might prove to be a synonym of L. flavipennis in the future.
 Distribution. China: Yunnan (JංൺඇǤ 1988).

description: We develop a generalization of the $Q$-construction of the first author, Diemer, and the third author for Grassmann flips. This generalization provides a canonical idempotent kernel on the derived category of the associated global quotient stack. The idempotent kernel, after restriction, induces a semi-orthogonal decomposition which compares the flipped varieties. Furthermore its image, after restriction to the geometric invariant theory semistable locus, "opens" a canonical "window" in the derived category of the quotient stack. We check this window coincides with the set of representations used by Kapranov to form a full exceptional collection on Grassmannians.

description: The rate and security of quantum communications between users placed at arbitrary points of a quantum communication network depend on the structure of the network, on its extension and on the nature of the communication channels. In this work we propose a strategy for the optimization of trusted-relays based networks that intertwines classical network approaches and quantum information theory. Specifically, by suitably defining a quantum communication efficiency functional, we identify the optimal quantum communication connections through the network by balancing security and the quantum communication rate. The optimized network is then constructed as the network of the maximal quantum communication efficiency connections and its performance is evaluated by studying the scaling of average properties as functions of the number of nodes and of the network spatial extension.
