HET VERDRIET VAN BELGIË (1983): L'artista da giovane secondo Hugo Claus

Subjects: subject: Joyce, James
subject: Intertextuality
subject: Comparative literature
subject: Irish literature

description: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Un ritratto dell'artista da giovane), il primo romanzo di Joyce, viene pubblicato nel 1916 dalla B.W. Huebsch, dopo essere apparso a puntate sulla rivista letteraria The Egoist grazie al supporto di Ezra Pound. Ambientato esclusivamente in Irlanda, compare su una rivista inglese e approda a una casa editrice statunitense. Del 1983 è invece la pubblicazione di Het verdriet van België (La sofferenza del Belgio), di Hugo Claus, autore belga di lingua nederlandese. Ambientato in prevalenza nelle Fiandre Occidentali, il romanzo esce perDe Bezige Bij, un'importante casa editrice di Amsterdam. Fin da subito ottiene le lodi di critica e pubblico e viene considerato il capolavoro di Claus. Prendendo le mosse da un articolo di Guido Lauwaert che traccia in maniera sommaria dei parallelismi tra i due testi, questa discussione intende ampliare e analizzare in maniera più dettagliata gli elementi comuni e mostrare punti di contatto e deviazioni nelle modalità in cui si sviluppano. Con la consapevolezza che Het verdriet è un'opera estremamente complessa che si presta ad analisi e letture molteplici, questa indagine intende quindi concentrarsi sui rapporti che il magnum opus di Hugo Claus intrattiene con il Portrait e tracciare una piccola storia di come nel sistema-letteratura nulla si perda e tutto si riscriva.

Beschreibung:Etwawiebei S. haravec nov.sp. (s. o.), die Elytrenmakeln etwas kleiner (Abb. 128), die Punktierung von Pronotum und Elytren gröber und weniger weitläufig (vgl. a. u.).
Länge: 5,0- 6,2mm (Vorderkörperlänge: 3,0- 3,2mm).
PM des HT: HW: 53 (50); DE: 27 (26); PW: 42 (40); PL: 43 (40); EW: 61 (52); EL: 47; SL: 51.
Männchen und Weibchen: Wie bei S. haravec, die Apikalpartie des Medianlobus jedoch mit anderem Umriss (Abb. 207), Parameren mit etwa 15-20 Borsten.
Differenzial diagnose ÄusserlichinfastallenPunkten mit S. haravec übereinstimmend, die Punkte des Pronotums aber gröber, fast so gross wie der apikale Querschnitt des 3. Fühlergliedes, die Punktzwischenräume meist kleiner als die Punkte, auf der Scheibe selten auch grösser. Die Elytren sind bei den Stücken aus Venezuela gröber und flacher punktiert, auf der überwiegenden Fläche sind sie flach nach aussen auslaufend, die Punktabstände sind grösser als die Punkte; nur auf den Elytrenmakeln sind die Punkte rundlich eingestochen.
Variabilität: Die Stücke aus Bolivien weichen vom Holotypus durch überall rundlich eingestochene Elytrenpunkte und etwas kürzere Elytren mit leicht trapezoidem Umriss ab, das Exemplar aus Ekuador besitzt ebenfalls nur rundlich eingestochene Elytrenpunkte, die auch etwas kleiner und weitläufiger angeordnet als beim HT sind. Der Aedoeagus aller dieser Exemplare lässt sich aber nicht von dem der Stücke aus Venezuela unterscheiden.
Etymologie: Mit dem Namen dieser Art ehre ich ihren verdienstvollen Sammler, Dr. R. Brooks.

Minimal pole representation and analytic continuation of matrix-valued correlation functions

description: We present a minimal pole method for analytically continuing matrix-valued imaginary frequency correlation functions to the real axis, enabling precise access to off-diagonal elements and thus improving the interpretation of self-energies and susceptibilities in quantum simulations. Traditional methods for matrix-valued analytic continuation tend to be either noise-sensitive or make ad-hoc positivity assumptions. Our approach avoides these issues via the construction of a compact pole representation with shared poles through exponential fits, expanding upon prior work focused on scalar functions. We test our method across various scenarios, including fermionic and bosonic response functions, with and without noise, and for both continuous and discrete spectra of real materials and model systems. Our findings demonstrate that this technique addresses the shortcomings of existing methodologies, such as artificial broadening and positivity violations. The paper is supplemented with a sample implementation in Python.

description: In today's educational landscape, design thinking has emerged as a vital skill for the 21st century, becoming ingrained in curricula from kindergarten through post-secondary education. However, despite its widespread integration, there exists a notable absence of quantitative evidence supporting effective instructional approaches for fostering cognitive design skills. Various initiatives have aimed to explore how individuals acquire cognitive design competencies and to catalog instructional methods that facilitate this process. Nevertheless, existing quantitative research on the topic is fragmented across diverse fields and lacks a cohesive synthesis. This study endeavors to fill this gap through a meta-analysis focusing on two primary objectives essential for informing effective design instruction. Firstly, it evaluates the effectiveness of instructional strategies in nurturing design skill development. Secondly, it identifies the foundational knowledge necessary for skill acquisition. By synthesizing available quantitative studies on design thinking learning interventions, this meta-analysis seeks to shed light on the impact of instructional approaches on students' development of design thinking skills. Through this analysis, we aim to provide educators and policymakers with evidence-based insights to enhance design education practices.

description: This paper investigates the theoretical implications of applying Darcy's law to premixed flames, a topic of growing interest in research on flame propagation in porous media and confined geometries. A multiple-scale analysis is carried out treating the flame as a hydrodynamic discontinuity in density, viscosity and permeability. The analysis accounts in particular for the inner structure of the flame. A simple model is derived allowing the original conservation equations to be replaced by Laplace's equation for pressure, applicable on both sides of the flame front, subject to specific conditions across the front. Such model is useful for investigating general problems under confinement including flame instabilities in porous media or Hele-Shaw channels. In this context, two Markstein numbers are identified, for which explicit expressions are provided. In particular, our analysis reveals novel contributions to the local propagation speed arising from discontinuities in the tangential components of velocity and gravitational force, which are permissible in Darcy's flows to leading order, but not in flows obeying Euler or Navier-Stokes equations.

description: Current state-of-the-art frequency standards are passive optical atomic clocks where the frequency of an optical resonator is stabilized to a narrow atomic transition. Passive clocks have achieved unprecedented stabilities of 6.6 x 10--19 over one hour of averaging time [1]. However, they face intrinsic limitations, particularly due to thermal and mechanical fluctuations of the local oscillator. To surpass the limitations of the passive clocks and go beyond the state-of-the-art, the idea of building active optical atomic clocks emerges. These clocks would be optical counterparts of hydrogen masers, with the emitted frequency defined by the atomic transition and therefore inherently stable against cavity instabilities. This paper discusses the latest developments and future prospects in the field of active optical atomic clocks.

title: Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Disease: Social and Environmental Drivers of Movement, Connectivity, and Disease Transmission in Bighorn Sheep
Creators: name: Ricci, Lauren E.

description: Movement is a fundamental component of animal ecology. Animals move in order to access resources and avoid risk. Movement decisions aggregated across time determine how individuals use space, contact dynamics between individuals within a population, and connectivity across a species range. These patterns that emerge from movement decisions have downstream implications for many ecological processes and a mechanistic understanding of movement can help answer broader questions about ecology.
Disease dynamics are intrinsically tied to movement. Understanding the mechanisms that drive movement can elucidate how disease will spread and impact host populations. In this vein, I employed a suite of movement analyses to understand how an individual’s social and environmental context affects movement, population connectivity, and disease dynamics in bighorn sheep populations living along a latitudinal and precipitation cline. Bighorn sheep are currently threatened by an infectious bacterial pneumonia that can have catastrophic outcomes on infected populations. The ultimate goal of this study was to understand how different patterns of movement affect disease transmission and population growth. Using location data collected from bighorn sheep spanning a variety of environmental conditions across the state of Nevada, I identified long-distance foray behaviors that lead to connectivity between populations based on movement characteristics, modeled the effect of social and environmental factors, as well as disease, on the probability of rams making foray movements, modeled seasonal connectivity between populations, and, finally, incorporated the results of the movement and connectivity models into a realistic model of metapopulation dynamics in the presence of disease. an important role in determining how populations are ultimately affected by disease. The probability of rams making foray movements is temporally dynamic, responding to seasonal pressures and local population demography. Connectivity between populations is also temporally dynamic, with the highest rates of contact during the breeding season. When incorporated into a disease simulation model, I found that the ultimate effect of disease on population dynamics can depend on the timing of connectivity between populations in relation to its ability to provide gene flow or disease transmission.

description: We investigate when and how the relations of galaxy morphology and star forming activity with clustercentric radius become evident in galaxy clusters. We identify 162 galaxy clusters with total mass $M_{\rm tot}^{\rm cl} > 5 \times 10^{13} {\rm M}_\odot$ at $z = 0.625$ in the Horizon Run 5 (HR5) cosmological hydrodynamical simulation and study how the properties of the galaxies with stellar mass $M_\ast > 5 \times 10^9 {\rm M}_\odot$ near the cluster main progenitors have evolved in the past. Galaxies are classified into disk, spheroid, and irregular morphological types according to the asymmetry and Sersic index of their stellar mass distribution. We also classify galaxies into active and passive ones depending on their specific star-formation rate. We find that the morphology-clustercentric radius relation (MRR) emerges at $z \simeq 1.8$ as the fraction of spheroidal types exceeds 50% in the central region ($d \lesssim 0.1 R_{200}$). Galaxies outside the central region remain disk-dominated. Numerous encounters between galaxies in the central region seem to be responsible for the morphology transformation from disks to spheroids. We also find that the star formation activity-clustercentric radius relation emerges at an epoch different from that of MRR. At $z\simeq0.8$, passive galaxies start to dominate the intermediate radius region ($0.1\lesssim d/R_{200} \lesssim0.3$) and this "quenching region" grows inward and outward thereafter. The region dominated by early-type galaxies (spheroids and passive disks) first appears at the central region at $z\simeq 1.8$, expands rapidly to larger radii as the population of passive disks grows in the intermediate radii, and clusters are dominated by early types after $z\simeq 0.8$.

description: This research examined the impact of aloe vera gel (AVG) as an admixture on the compressive strengths of concrete and to model these properties with Ibearugbulem’s Approach using Visual Basic program. Data used for the model were obtained experimentally. The fresh and hardened properties of AVG-concrete were determined at 7, 14, 21, and 28 curing days with a water-binder ratio of 0.6 and AVG content varying at 0.5% increasing dosage of cement weight up to 5%, using mix ratios of 1:1.5:3 and 1:3:5. Grain size analysis, specific gravity tests, workability tests, setting-time tests, compressive strength’ test were carried out. A total of two hundred and sixty-four 150 × 150 × 150 mm’ concrete cubes were made for compressive strength test. Ibearugbulem’s concept was adopted to develop a model for prediction and strength-optimization of AVG-cement concrete. For the quantity of the constituent ingredients, the response function is expressed as a multivariable function, with respect to the spatial-domain for individual concrete mix content. Response function was formulated within the distinguished spatial-domain and was optimized with the variational approach. The results reveal that mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 is more workable than those made with the ratio of 1:3:5 and slump values increased as the addition of AVG content increased from 0.5 to 5. For mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 and 1:3:5, the optimum experimental and model compressive strength was 31.42 N/mm2 and 33.23N/mm2, 31.78 N/mm2   and 34.83 N/mm2 respectively at 28 curing days and 2.0% AVG inclusion. At 0.60 water-cement ratio, it is recommended to use aloe vera gel not exceeding 2.0%. wt. of cement.  The Student’s T-test statistical tool which was employed to evaluate the model performance at a 0.95 confidence status, affirmed that the model herein is reliable and apt for AVG-concrete.

description: In many situations humans have to reason with inconsistent knowledge. These inconsistencies may occur due to not fully reliable sources of information. In order to reason with inconsistent knowledge, it is not possible to view a set of premisses as absolute truths as is done in predicate logic. Viewing the set of premisses as a set of assumptions, however, it is possible to deduce useful conclusions from an inconsistent set of premisses. In this paper a logic for reasoning with inconsistent knowledge is described. This logic is a generalization of the work of N. Rescher [15]. In the logic a reliability relation is used to choose between incompatible assumptions. These choices are only made when a contradiction is derived. As long as no contradiction is derived, the knowledge is assumed to be consistent. This makes it possible to define an argumentation-based deduction process for the logic. For the logic a semantics based on the ideas of Y. Shoham [22, 23], is defined. It turns out that the semantics for the logic is a preferential semantics according to the definition S. Kraus, D. Lehmann and M. Magidor [12]. Therefore the logic is a logic of system P and possesses all the properties of an ideal non-monotonic logic.

description: The following paper addresses student attitudes towards keystroke logging and plagiarism prevention measures. Specifically, the paper concerns itself with changes made to the “ShowYourWork” plugin, which was implemented to log the keystrokes of students in Utah State University’s introductory Computer Science course, CS1400. Recent work performed by the Edwards Lab provided insights into students’ feelings towards keystroke logging as a measure of deterring plagiarism. As a result of that research, we have concluded that measures need to be taken to enable students to have more control over their data and assist students to feel more comfortable with keystroke logging. This paper introduces the work done to enhance student privacy and feelings of security and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the changes made to ShowYourWork.

title: Experimental Nonnative Wood Addition Enhances Instream Habitat for Native Fishes and Investigating Dryland River Alterations
Creators: name: Miller, Benjamin J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: The rivers of the Colorado River Basin (CRB) have been degraded by human activities such flow regulation, water overallocation, and the introduction of invasive riparian vegetation (primarily tamarisk tamarix spp. and Russian olive Elaeagnus angustifolia). These stressors have resulted in widespread habitat loss and simplification, which is a major contributor to the endangerment of native fishes in the CRB.
The objectives of this study were to 1) assess the effectiveness of enhancing native fish habitat by experimentally adding cut wood from nonnative Russian olive to the San Juan River, a highly degraded dryland river, and 2) determine the magnitude of channel narrowing and vegetation encroachment over time, which are indicators of riverine habitat alteration, for three dryland CRB tributaries. Addressing these objectives can provide valuable insights to assist managers in more effectively restoring habitats for endangered native fish species.
Our results indicate that wood addition can lead to increased local abundances of native fishes, which is likely due to the increased food resources and higher habitat quality that wood addition facilitated. Additionally, we demonstrated that all three study rivers underwent substantial vegetation encroachment and channel narrowing, the latter of which coincided with a general decrease in river flows over time, with large decreases in flows corresponding to more pronounced channel narrowing. We therefore provide evidence supporting nonnative wood addition as an effective management action for enhancing native fish habitat while also underscoring the magnitude of river alteration in the region. Our findings emphasize that, when possible, preserving or restoring natural flows should be prioritized for the effective conservation of dryland rivers. In systems where managing flows is not feasible, managers may consider non-flow methods, like adding in-stream wood, to improve native fish habitats.

description: The multi-step macroautophagy/autophagy process ends with the cargo-laden autophagosome fusing with the lysosome to deliver the materials to be degraded. The metazoan-specific autophagy factor EPG5 plays a crucial role in this step by enforcing fusion specificity and preventing mistargeting. How EPG5 exerts its critical function and how its deficiency leads to diverse phenotypes of the rare multi-system disorder Vici syndrome are not fully understood. Here, we report the first structure of human EPG5 (HsEPG5) determined by cryo-EM and AlphaFold2 modeling. Our structure revealed that HsEPG5 is constructed from helical bundles analogous to tethering factors in membrane trafficking pathways but contains a unique protruding thumb domain positioned adjacent to the atypical tandem LIR motifs involved in interaction with the GABARAP subfamily of Atg8-family proteins. Our NMR spectroscopic, molecular dynamics simulations and AlphaFold modeling studies showed that the HsEPG5 tandem LIR motifs only bind the canonical LIR docking site (LDS) on GABARAP without engaging in multivalent interaction. Our co-immunoprecipitation analysis further indicated that full-length HsEPG5-GABARAP interaction is mediated primarily by LIR1. Finally, our biochemical affinity isolation, X-ray crystallographic analysis, affinity measurement, and AlphaFold modeling demonstrated that this mode of binding is observed between Caenorhabditis elegans EPG-5 and its Atg8-family proteins LGG-1 and LGG-2. Collectively our work generated novel insights into the structural properties of EPG5 and how it potentially engages with the autophagosome to confer fusion specificity.
