Re-sculpting the future: Climate change and sculptural practice

Subjects: Sculpture

description: Sculpture draws on a diverse selection of materials and processes ranging from primeval to cutting edge technologies. This diversity allows sculptors to take on a large variety of concepts and topics but a subject that many sculptors find difficult to explore is climate change. The use of high emission materials and high-energy processes that are associated with traditional sculptural materials such as bronze and steel create an ethical dilemma for sculptors working in this field. My practice-led research attempts to identify suitable pathways that locate my research within the artistic discourse of climate change. To do this I have worked with a variety of materials and processes to reveal the delicate relationship between material, process and concept. The issue of climate change is concerning on many levels but perhaps most disturbing is the psychological phenomena that act as an impediment toward decisive action. My research reveals a number of obstacles that impede action including a psychological phenomenon that is the foundation of a flawed proposal to stabilise the climate through the technology of geo-engineering. Such proposals can be considered a type of science-fiction; in my research I have created my own speculative account of the future based on the predictions of climate scientists and targeted a holistic approach to combating climate change for a post-apocalyptic future through the visual art form of sculpture.

description: We propose a novel adversarial speaker adaptation (ASA) scheme, in which adversarial learning is applied to regularize the distribution of deep hidden features in a speaker-dependent (SD) deep neural network (DNN) acoustic model to be close to that of a fixed speaker-independent (SI) DNN acoustic model during adaptation. An additional discriminator network is introduced to distinguish the deep features generated by the SD model from those produced by the SI model. In ASA, with a fixed SI model as the reference, an SD model is jointly optimized with the discriminator network to minimize the senone classification loss, and simultaneously to mini-maximize the SI/SD discrimination loss on the adaptation data. With ASA, a senone-discriminative deep feature is learned in the SD model with a similar distribution to that of the SI model. With such a regularized and adapted deep feature, the SD model can perform improved automatic speech recognition on the target speaker's speech. Evaluated on the Microsoft short message dictation dataset, ASA achieves 14.4% and 7.9% relative word error rate improvements for supervised and unsupervised adaptation, respectively, over an SI model trained from 2600 hours data, with 200 adaptation utterances per speaker.

description: We study quantum radiation generated by a uniformly accelerated motion of small spherical mirrors. To obtain Green's function for a scalar massless field we use Wick's rotation. In the Euclidean domain the problem is reduced to finding an electric potential in 4D flat space in the presence of a metallic toroidal boundary. The latter problem is solved by a separation of variables. After performing an inverse Wick's rotation we obtain the Hadamard function in the wave-zone regime and use it to calculate the vacuum fluctuations and the vacuum expectation for the energy density flux in the wave zone.

description: Today surgeons usually prepare for operations by inspecting sets of 2D radiological images. This means that they need to form a 3D mental model from 2D data. The lack of depth perception afforded by 2D images is an issue especially in complex cases. New and improved approaches are therefore an area of active research. Recent advances in both holographic mixed reality and 3D visualization techniques represent an interesting opportunity to address this issue. The article describes our ongoing efforts to support surgeons in preoperative planning by developing a medical volume viewer for Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 headset. The app combines the state-of-the art image quality of cinematic volume rendering with the excellent depth perception in holographic headsets and will allow new ways of planning surgeries and interacting with medical volumes.

description: We investigate alternative candidates to dark energy that can explain the current state of the universe in the framework of the generalized teleparallel theory of gravity $f(T)$ where $T$ denotes the torsion scalar. To achieve this, we carried out a series of reconstruction taking into account to the ordinary and entropy-corrected versions of the holographic and new agegraphic dark energy models. These models used as alternative to dark energy in the literature in order describe the current state of our universe. It is remarked that the models reconstructed indicates behaviors like phantom or quintessence models. Furthermore, we also generated the EoS parameters associated to entropy-corrected models and we observed a transition phase between quintessence state and phantom state as showed by recent observational data. We also investigated on the stability theses models and we created the $\{r-s\}$. The behavior of certains physical parameters as speed of sound and the Statefinder parameters are compatible with current observational data.

description: We consider space-times which in addition to admitting an isolated horizon also admit Killing horizons with or without an event horizon. We show that an isolated horizon is a Killing horizon provided either (1) it admits a stationary neighbourhood or (2) it admits a neighbourhood with two independent, commuting Killing vectors. A Killing horizon is always an isolated horizon. For the case when an event horizon is definable, all conceivable relative locations of isolated horizon and event horizons are possible. Corresponding conditions are given.

Algorithm Diversity for Resilient Systems

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Diversity can significantly increase the resilience of systems, by reducing the prevalence of shared vulnerabilities and making vulnerabilities harder to exploit. Work on software diversity for security typically creates variants of a program using low-level code transformations. This paper is the first to study algorithm diversity for resilience. We first describe how a method based on high-level invariants and systematic incrementalization can be used to create algorithm variants. Executing multiple variants in parallel and comparing their outputs provides greater resilience than executing one variant. To prevent different parallel schedules from causing variants' behaviors to diverge, we present a synchronized execution algorithm for DistAlgo, an extension of Python for high-level, precise, executable specifications of distributed algorithms. We propose static and dynamic metrics for measuring diversity. An experimental evaluation of algorithm diversity combined with implementation-level diversity for several sequential algorithms and distributed algorithms shows the benefits of algorithm diversity.

description: We outline an approach for improving the temporal contrast of a high-intensity laser system by $>$8 orders of magnitude using non-collinear sum-frequency generation with the signal and idler of an optical parametric amplifier. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique by cleaning pulses from a millijoule-level chirped-pulse amplification system to provide $>$10$^{12}$ intensity contrast relative to all pre-pulses and amplified spontaneous emission $>$5~ps prior to the main pulse. The output maintains percent-level energy stability on the time scales of a typical user experiment at our facility, highlighting the method's reliability and operational efficiency. After temporal cleansing, the pulses are stretched in time before seeding two multi-pass, Ti:sapphire-based amplifiers. After re-compression, the 1~J, 40~fs (25~TW) laser pulses maintain a $>$10$^{10}$ intensity contrast $>$30~ps prior to the main pulse. This technique is both energy-scalable and appropriate for preparing seed pulses for a TW- or PW-level chirped-pulse amplification laser system.
Symmetry properties of the metric energy-momentum tensor in classical field theories and gravity

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We derive a generic identity which holds for the metric (i.e. variational) energy-momentum tensor under any field transformation in any generally covariant classical Lagrangian field theory. The identity determines the conditions under which a symmetry of the Lagrangian is also a symmetry of the energy-momentum tensor. It turns out that the stress tensor acquires the symmetry if the Lagrangian has the symmetry in a generic curved spacetime. In this sense a field theory in flat spacetime is not self-contained. When the identity is applied to the gauge invariant spin-two field in Minkowski space, we obtain an alternative and direct derivation of a known no-go theorem: a linear gauge invariant spin-2 field, which is dynamically equivalent to linearized General Relativity, cannot have a gauge invariant metric energy-momentum tensor. This implies that attempts to define the notion of gravitational energy density in terms of the metric energy--momentum tensor in a field-theoretical formulation of gravity must fail.

description: Neurofeedback systems have been increasingly utilized in recent years for the treatment of ADHD. However, the disease-specific characteristics and the training motivation are only taken into account to a limited extent, especially for the therapy of children. Inspired by previous research in projector-based AR, we propose a new AR-based multiplayer game with BCI and haptic feedback for the therapy of children with ADHD. We evaluated our approach in an explorative user study with seven domain experts with different backgrounds related to the topic. The results show a harmonious combination of different technologies and that the multiplayer approach and the haptic aspects of the game are suitable and motivating to complement existing therapy methods. The results create an essential basis for further development of patient-oriented neurofeedback systems in ADHD therapy.

description: Clusters of galaxies are the largest known gravitationally-bound structures in the Universe. When clusters collide, they create merger shocks on cosmological scales, which transform most of the kinetic energy carried by the cluster gaseous halos into heat. Observations of merger shocks provide key information of the merger dynamics, and enable insights into the formation and thermal history of the large-scale structures. Nearly all of the merger shocks are found in systems where the clusters have already collided, knowledge of shocks in the pre-merger phase is a crucial missing ingredient. Here we report on the discovery of a unique shock in a cluster pair 1E 2216 and 1E 2215. The two clusters are observed at an early phase of major merger. Contrary to all the known merger shocks observed ubiquitously on merger axes, the new shock propagates outward along the equatorial plane of the merger. This discovery uncovers an important epoch in the formation of massive clusters, when the rapid approach of the cluster pair leads to strong compression of gas along the merger axis. Current theoretical models predict that the bulk of the shock energy might be dissipated outside the clusters, and eventually turn into heat of the pristine gas in the circum-cluster space.

These notes cover only selected parts of the by now quite extensive knowledge on logarithmic conformal field theories. In particular, I discuss the proper generalization of null vectors towards the logarithmic case, and how these can be used to compute correlation functions. My other main topic is modular invariance, where I discuss the problem of the generalization of characters in the case of indecomposable representations, a proposal for a Verlinde formula for fusion rules and identities relating the partition functions of logarithmic conformal field theories to such of well known ordinary conformal field theories. These two main topics are complemented by some remarks on ghost systems, the Haldane-Rezayi fractional quantum Hall state, and the relation of these two to the logarithmic c=-2 theory.

Structurally stable families of periodic solutions in sweeping processes of networks of elastoplastic springs

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)

description: Networks of elastoplastic springs (elastoplastic systems) have been linked to differential equations with polyhedral constraints in the pioneering paper by Moreau (1974). Periodic loading of an elastoplastic system, therefore, corresponds to a periodic motion of the polyhedral constraint. According to Krejci (1996), every solution of a sweeping process with a periodically moving constraint asymptotically converges to a periodic orbit. Understanding whether such an asymptotic periodic orbit is unique or there can be an entire family of asymptotic periodic orbits (that form a periodic attractor) has been an open problem since then. Since suitable small perturbation of a polyhedral constraint seems to be always capable to destroy a potential family of periodic orbits, it is expected that none of potential periodic attractor is structurally stable. In the present paper we give a simple example to prove that even though the periodic attractor (of non-stationary periodic solutions) can be destroyed by little perturbation of the moving constraint, the periodic attractor resists perturbations of the physical parameters of the mechanical model (i.e. the parameters of the network of elastoplastic springs).

description: We consider Wave Maps with smooth compactly supported initial data of small H^{3/2}-norm from R^{3+1} to the hyperbolic plane and show that they stay smooth globally in time. Our methods are based on the introduction of a global Coulomb Gauge as in a recent paper by Shatah and Struwe, followed by dynamic separation as in earlier work of Klainerman and Machedon. We then rely on an adaptation of T.Tao's methods used in his recent breakthrough result on Wave Maps to spheres in low spatial dimensions.

description: In the recent decades, obesity has become one of the major public health issues and is associated with severe other diseases. Although current multidisciplinary therapy approaches already include behavioral therapy techniques, the oftentimes remaining lack of psychotherapeutic support after surgery leads to relapses and renewed weight gain. This paper presents an overview of the project ViTraS - Virtual Reality Therapy by Stimulation of Modulated Body Image - that addresses these challenges by: (i) Developing an integrative model predicting the influential paths of immersive media for an effective behavioral change; (ii) Developing an augmented reality (AR)-mirror system enabling an effective therapy on body self-perception of patients, and (iii) Developing a multi-user virtual reality (VR)-system supplying social support from therapists and other patients. The three components of the ViTraS projects are briefly introduced, as well as a first prototype of the AR-mirror system.

description: Multi-Person Tracking (MPT) is often addressed within the detection-to-association paradigm. In such approaches, human detections are first extracted in every frame and person trajectories are then recovered by a procedure of data association (usually offline). However, their performances usually degenerate in presence of detection errors, mutual interactions and occlusions. In this paper, we present a deep learning based MPT approach that learns instance-aware representations of tracked persons and robustly online infers states of the tracked persons. Specifically, we design a multi-branch neural network (MBN), which predicts the classification confidences and locations of all targets by taking a batch of candidate regions as input. In our MBN architecture, each branch (instance-subnet) corresponds to an individual to be tracked and new branches can be dynamically created for handling newly appearing persons. Then based on the output of MBN, we construct a joint association matrix that represents meaningful states of tracked persons (e.g., being tracked or disappearing from the scene) and solve it by using the efficient Hungarian algorithm. Moreover, we allow the instance-subnets to be updated during tracking by online mining hard examples, accounting to person appearance variations over time. We comprehensively evaluate our framework on a popular MPT benchmark, demonstrating its excellent performance in comparison with recent online MPT methods.

description: Due to demographic changes, a lack of medical expertise in special and rare cases may occur. One possible solution to overcome this deciency is the use of a teleconsultation system. This system makes it possible to remotely connect a medical expert. New technology developments, like AR- technologies, enable advanced and new applications of those systems. The present paper describes the results of expert interviews regarding attitudes towards and requirements on an AR-based teleconsultation system for telemedicine. The interviews were conducted with emergency doctors and paramedics already using an existing consultation system for telemedicine. Our aim was to gain insights into their attitudes towards and experiences with the current system, their requirements on an AR-based teleconsultation system as well as their attitudes and valuations towards the use of an avatar within such a system. Another focus of our study was on their estimation of the inuence of such a system on the patient-paramedic-interaction. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis. The results were used to derive initial requirements for a new AR-based teleconsultation system and to gain a better understanding of users’ needs. Results are discussed in the light of an early stage in the development process. According to the approach of human centred design the results serve as initial ndings which will be considered in the further development process.
How strings solve the apparent contradiction between black holes and quantum coherence

description: Computations in the calculable small coupling regime of string theories and the general consensus that no new physics has to be invoked in continuing to the large coupling (black hole) regime, suggest the following picture. Quantum states are not black holes even if energy distributions would suggest so. Black holes appear as macrostates, i.e. with the same procedure that blures the quantum coherence of microstates. It is also discussed how a spacetime description - and thus geometry, causal properties and event horizons - may stem from decoherence in the pregeometric approach represented by string theories.

description: Personal in Gesundheitsorganisationen ist kontinuierlich hohen physischen und psychischen Belastungen ausgesetzt. Positive Effekte von Virtual Reality in der Therapie zur Stressreduktion legen die Vermutung nahe, dass durch eine Verwendung von Entspannungssoftware mit VR-Technologie eine psychische Belastungsminderung bei Pflegekräften eintreten könnte. Um das Potential der VR-Technologie für das Personal in Gesundheitsorganisationen zu analysieren, wurden zehn Mitarbeiter/innen eines Pflegezentrums in einer Pilotstudie zu ihren Belastungsfaktoren befragt, eine Pause mit einer VR-Brille mit Entspannungssoftware gestaltet und anschließend die Einschätzung zur Belastungsminderung in einem Fragebogen festgehalten. Diese Pilotstudie zeigt, dass die VR-Technologie ein Potential für die Belastungsminderung bietet, wenn die Rahmenbedingungen adäquat gestaltet werden.
Jet suppression from small to intermediate to large radius

description: We present predictions for jet suppression from small to intermediate to very large radius, for low and very high energy jets created in heavy ion collisions at the LHC. We use the hybrid strong/weak coupling model for jet quenching that combines perturbative shower evolution with an effective strongly coupled description of the energy and momentum transfer from the jet into the hydrodynamic quark-gluon plasma. Because of momentum conservation, the wake created by the jet enhances or depletes the amount of particles generated at the freeze-out hypersurface depending on their orientation with respect to the jet. Within such framework we find that jet suppression is surprisingly independent of the anti-$k_T$ radius $R$, first slightly increasing as one increases $R$, then at larger values of $R$ very slowly decreasing. This nearly independence of jet suppression with increasing values of $R$ arises from two competing effects, namely the larger energy loss of the hard jet components, which tends to increase suppression, versus the partial recovery of the lost energy due to medium response, reducing suppression. We also find that the boosted medium from the recoiling jet reduces the amount of plasma in the direction opposite to it in the transverse plane, increasing the amount of jet suppression due to an over-subtraction effect. We show that this characteristic signature of the hydrodynamization of part of the jet energy can be quantified by selecting samples of dijet configurations with different relative pseudorapidities between the leading and the subleading jet.

description: This note is an elaboration of the ideas and intuitions of Grothendieck and Weil concerning the "arithmetic topology". Given 3-dimensional manifold M fibering over the circle we introduce an real quadratic number field K with discriminant d, where d>0 is an integer number uniquely determined by M. The idea is to relate geometry of M to the arithmetic of field K. On this way, we show that Vol M is a limit density of ideals of given norm in the field K (Dirichlet density). The second statement says that the number of cusp points of manifold M is equal to the class number of the field K. It is remarkable that both of the invariants can be explicitly calculated for the concrete values of discriminant d. Our approach is based on the K-theory of noncommutative C*-algebras coming from measured foliations and geodesic laminations studied by Thurston et al. We apply the elaborated technique to solve the Poincare conjecture for given class of manifolds.

Surface effects in nucleation and growth of smectic B crystals in thin samples

description: We present an experimental study of the surface effects (interactions with the container walls) during the nucleation and growth of smectic B crystals from the nematic in free growth and directional solidification of a mesogenic molecule ($C_4H_9-(C_6H_{10})_2CN$) called CCH4 in thin (of thickness in the 10 $μ$m range) samples. We follow the dynamics of the system in real time with a polarizing microscope. The inner surfaces of the glass-plate samples are coated with polymeric films, either rubbed polyimid (PI) films or monooriented poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) films deposited by friction at high temperature. The orientation of the nematic and the smectic B is planar. In PI-coated samples, the orientation effect of SmB crystals is mediated by the nematic, whereas, in PTFE-coated samples, it results from a homoepitaxy phenomenon occurring for two degenerate orientations. A recrystallization phenomenon partly destroys the initial distribution of crystal orientations. In directional solidification of polycrystals in PTFE-coated samples, a particular dynamics of faceted grain boundary grooves is at the origin of a dynamical mechanism of grain selection. Surface effects also are responsible for the nucleation of misoriented terraces on facets and the generation of lattice defects in the solid.

description: In this paper we present a new approach for studying the dynamics of spatially inhomogeneous cosmological models with one spatial degree of freedom. By introducing suitable scale-invariant dependent variables we write the evolution equations of the Einstein field equations as a system of autonomous partial differential equations in first-order symmetric hyperbolic format, whose explicit form depends on the choice of gauge. As a first application, we show that the asymptotic behaviour near the cosmological initial singularity can be given a simple geometrical description in terms of the local past attractor on the boundary of the scale-invariant dynamical state space. The analysis suggests the name ``asymptotic silence'' to describe the evolution of the gravitational field near the cosmological initial singularity.

Critical phenomena in gravitational collapse of Husain-Martinez-Nunez scalar field

description: We construct analytical models to study the critical phenomena in gravitational collapse of the Husain-Martinez-Nunez massless scalar field. We first use the cut-and-paste technique to match the conformally flat solution ($c=0$ ) onto an outgoing Vaidya solution. To guarantee the continuity of the metric and the extrinsic curvature, we prove that the two solutions must be joined at a null hypersurface and the metric function in Vaidya spacetime must satisfy some constraints. We find that the mass of the black hole in the resulting spacetime takes the form $M\propto (p-p^*)^γ$, where the critical exponent $γ$ is equal to $0.5$. For the case $c\neq 0$, we show that the scalar field must be joined onto two pieces of Vaidya spacetimes to avoid a naked singularity. We also derive the power-law mass formula with $γ=0.5$. Compared with previous analytical models constructed from a different scalar field with continuous self-similarity, we obtain the same value of $γ$. However, we show that the solution with $c\neq 0$ is not self-similar. Therefore, we provide a rare example that a scalar field without self-similarity also possesses the features of critical collapse.
