description: We study the physics of the superconducting variant of Weyl semimetals, which may be realized in multilayer structures comprising topological insulators and superconductors. We show how superconductivity can split each Weyl node into two. The resulting Bogoliubov Weyl nodes can be pairwise independently controlled, allowing to access a set of phases characterized by different numbers of bulk Bogoliubov Weyl nodes and chiral Majorana surface modes. We analyze the physics of vortices in such systems, which trap zero energy Majorana modes only under certain conditions. We finally comment on possible experimental probes, thereby also exploiting the similarities between Weyl superconductors and 2-dimensional p + ip superconductors.

Reliable and efficient transmission of compressive-sensed electroencephalogram signals

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: As technologies around us are emerging at a rapid rate, wireless body sensor networks (WBSN)s are increasingly being deployed to provide comfort and safety to patients. WBSNs can monitor the patient's health and transmit the collected data to a remote location where it can be assessed. Such data is collected and transmitted using low battery devices such as specialized sensors or even smart phones. To elongate the battery life, the energy spent on acquiring, processing and transmitting the data should be minimized. The thesis addresses the case of electroencephalogram (EEG)signals. It studies the energy spent in the sensor node, mainly in the processing stage, i.e. after acquiring the data and before transmitting it to a certain receiver-end in a wireless fashion. To minimize this energy, the number of bits to be processed and transmitted must be minimized. Compressive sampling (CS) is ideal for such a purpose as it requires minimal number of computations to compress a signal. For transmitting the signals acquired by CS, we studied their quantization followed by 2 different schemes. Scheme 1 applies lossless Huffman coding for further compression that allows perfect reconstruction. This is followed by a Reed-Solomon (RS) code to protect the data from errors during transmission. Scheme 2 does not apply any further compression. It only quantizes the data and applies the RS code to it. Both schemes were then enhanced by adding an interleaver and deinterleaver that improved the results. The data was then sent in packets over a transmission channel which was simulated using a 2-state Markov model. Under ideal channel conditions, Scheme 1 with Huffman compression decreased the total number of bits sent by 5.45 %. The best scheme however was scheme 2 followed by an interleaver. It achieved the best signal reconstruction results under normal or noisy channel conditions.

description: It is a well-known fact that the concept of kairos encompasses a wide variety of meanings, ranging from “due time”, “critical situation”, “appropriate or decisive moment”, to “correct behaviour” and “skilful action”. All of these meanings point not only to the temporal, spatial and circumstantial characteristics of kairos, but also, and more importantly, to the action that is required in order to seize a favourable opportunity in a given moment. Without such action, and the ability to perform it, the kairos does not yield any advantage, thus remaining unexploited. On the other hand, without kairos no action can be successful, as even the most refined ability is by itself no guarantee for a successful outcome. In the Graeco-Roman world, kairos is therefore always linked with specific skills: in arts such as poetry, rhetoric, medicine, divination, alchemy and in a variety of techniques such as those needed in farming, warfare and sports, the successful outcome depends on the ability to grasp the kairos that is within reach at a given moment. This volume examines the different meanings of kairos as reflected in the methodologies commonly applied in the arts and techniques, showing how these help to broaden and deepen our knowledge of kairos. The chapters investigate both aspects of kairos: that relating to its objective conditions, i.e. its manifestation on certain occasions and circumstances; and that relating to its subjective conditions, i.e. the skills needed to grasp the opportune moment in which it should be utilized.

description: Recent reflection on uncertainty overlooks and even misunderstands Plato’s thought. Faced with a complex world, he definitely admits the presence of kairòs, whose literary and iconographic images are already established. He forces the arts (tèchnai) to grasp it by calculating not only external measures of objects, but also those «pertaining to the essence of generation» (Pol. 283d). Seizing this ‘right moment’ is even more complicated in the interpersonal relationships and goes back to the care (epimèleia) of oneself and of others. According to the intense words of Socrates before his death in the Phaedo (61d, 114d), reasoning together (diaskopèin) is not enough: also an ability is always requested from us to tell our own story (mythologhèin) and to welcome those of others as well. Only this way we can run the risk, time by time, of believing the truth, feeling the good, judging and acting the right.

description: Background: Congenital cataract displays large phenotypic (syndromic and isolated cataracts) and genetic heterogeneity. Mutations in several transcription factors involved in eye development, like PITX3, have been associated with congenital cataracts and anterior segment mesenchymal disorders. Materials and methods: Targeted sequencing of 187 genes involved in ocular development was performed in 96 patients with mainly anophthalmia and microphthalmia. Additionally, Sanger sequencing analysis of PITX3 was performed on a second cohort of 32 index cases with congenital cataract and Peters anomaly and/or sclereocornea. Results: We described five families with four different PITX3 mutations, two of which were novel. In Family 1, the heterozygous recurrent c.640_656dup (p.Gly220Profs*95) mutation cosegregated with eye anomalies ranging from congenital cataract to Peters anomaly. In Family 2, the novel c.669del [p.(Leu225Trpfs*84)] mutation cosegregated with dominantly inherited eye anomalies ranging from posterior embryotoxon to congenital cataract in heterozygous carriers and congenital sclereocornea and cataract in a patient homozygous for this mutation. In Family 3, we identified the recurrent heterozygous c.640_656dup (p.Gly220Profs*95) mutation segregating with congenital cataract. In Family 4, the de novo c.582del [p.(Ile194Metfs*115)] mutation was identified in a patient with congenital cataract, microphthalmia, developmental delay and autism. In Family 5, the c.38G>A (p.Ser13Asn) mutation segregated dominantly in a family with Peters anomaly, which is a novel phenotype associated with the c.38G>A variant compared with the previously reported isolated congenital cataract. Conclusions: Our study unveils different phenotypes associated with known and novel mutations in PITX3, which will improve the genetic counselling of patients and their families.

description: It is now well-established that a dark, compact object (DCO), very likely a massive black hole (MBH) of around four million solar masses is lurking at the centre of the Milky Way. While a consensus is emerging about the origin and growth of supermassive black holes (with masses larger than a billion solar masses), MBHs with smaller masses, such as the one in our galactic centre, remain understudied and enigmatic. The key to understanding these holes - how some of them grow by orders of magnitude in mass - lies in understanding the dynamics of the stars in the galactic neighbourhood. Stars interact with the central MBH primarily through their gradual inspiral due to the emission of gravitational radiation. Also stars produce gases which will subsequently be accreted by the MBH through collisions and disruptions brought about by the strong central tidal field. Such processes can contribute significantly to the mass of the MBH and progress in understanding them requires theoretical work in preparation for future gravitational radiation millihertz missions and X-ray observatories. In particular, a unique probe of these regions is the gravitational radiation that is emitted by some compact stars very close to the black holes and which could be surveyed by a millihertz gravitational wave interferometer scrutinizing the range of masses fundamental to understanding the origin and growth of supermassive black holes. By extracting the information carried by the gravitational radiation, we can determine the mass and spin of the central MBH with unprecedented precision and we can determine how the holes "eat" stars that happen to be near them.

rincrescimento dell'agente di Bernard Williams: un confronto con la colpa, il rimorso e altre forme di rincrescimento
Creators: name: Gasparoni, Simone
Publisher: name: Thaumàzein | Rivista di Filosofia
Year: 2023

description: This essay explores Bernard Williams’ notion of agent-regret, comparing it with guilt, remorse, and other forms of regret. I first highlight some features of the intentional structure of guilt (also in relation to shame) and remorse, and then proceed to the analysis of regret. I discuss several examples of regret, including Williams’ discussion of the truck driver who accidentally runs over a child. In agreement with Williams, I argue that agent-regret has a moral significance not captured by either guilt or remorse. If we generally feel guilty or remorseful for intentional actions or omissions, regret shows that we are emotionally attached even to the involuntary aspects of what we do. Agent-regret suggests that our concept of responsibility is broader than we think, and its phenomenology (as well as its potential action tendencies) may be indicative of an agent’s morality.

description: Even though many specialized studies have contributed to the conceptual framework of kairos, there has been very little research dealing with this notion in ancient arts. Observing this gap, principally in what concerns Greek pottery, the author explores Exekias’s pictorial rendition of Achilles slaying Penthesileia in a black figure amphora dating from VI BC, in order to draw attention to the hermeneutical possibilities arising from a comparatist approach interested in the interaction between words and images. Specifically, the author proposes that vase figurations contribute to rethink kairos, principally in what concerns the chain of meaning generated by the association of pictorial materials and ancient philosophy, including key-terms from early Hippocratic medicine, such as that of krisis.

Alchemical kairos
Creators: name: Werrett, Joshua
Publisher: name: Thaumàzein | Rivista di Filosofia
Year: 2023

description: For Zosimos the alchemist (c.4th C. AD), it seems that the whole of alchemy depended upon the kairos – the opportune moment, determined via katarchic astrology, when an experiment would succeed. In fact, Zosimos refers to alchemical transformations as kairikai katabaphai – colour changes achieved at the kairos – and states that they are «subject to lunar influence and the passing of time» (The Visions 10.12). This paper explores Zosimos’ understanding of kairos and its importance in his alchemical practice. Firstly, a general overview is presented of Zosimos’ use of the term and the nuances which can be gleaned from his own work and the work of those in his intellectual milieu; the second half of this paper focuses more specifically on the term kairikai katabaphai to examine what role exactly kairos may have had in Zosimos’ wider religio-philosophical beliefs and his understanding of the mechanics behind alchemical change. Ultimately, this paper concludes that alchemists seem to have regarded the kairos as having many fascinating aspects: it is a divinely-inspired, precisely calculable, repeating, transformative moment, without which alchemical success is almost impossible. Zosimos’ practice involves a complicated amalgamation of prayer, sacrifice, calculation, and technique; as this paper hopes to demonstrate, a true appreciation of the kairos is at the heart of all of this.

description: The Pythagoreans went beyond the traditional use of diet to cure disease, convinced, as they were, that its real importance lies in healing the soul. The Pythagorean δίαιτα essentially takes on a further meaning with respect to the properly medical notion, that is, a meaning of existential and formative nature. If it is true, in fact, that food, in its variations, is decisive for the states of health and physical illness, it is also true that it has a reflex effect on psychic states and character; the ψυχή is strongly conditioned in the determination of lifestyles, as, on the other hand, it also appeared clear to the Hippocratic doctors. In this sense, it can perhaps be hypothesized that καιρός is the conceptual hub that allowed the transition from the iron rules of the akusmata of early Pythagoreanism to the more flexible consideration of what is appropriate in different circumstances, as we find in the doctrine related by Iamblichus, dating back to Aristoxenus, and, therefore, in the Pythagoreanism of the fourth century. The first testimony in which medicine is related to music and music therapy, specifically defined as “catharsis”, that is to say a tool for healing both physical and mental illnesses, also dates back precisely to this period. Hence the importance attached by Pythagorean thought to epimeleia, care as total harmony of body and spirit. In this sense, the Pythagorean doctrine appears to be the direct antecedent of Plato’s thought on the care of the “whole”.

description: The aim of this paper is to address the question of kairos from both a biographical and a didactic perspective, by focusing on some texts of the Platonist tradition in which the term kairos does not appear, yet traces of both its situational and formal meanings can be found. More specifically, I would like to show that when the Platonists present Plato as the culmination of the history of philosophy, they are inclined to identify the formative (or even situational) kairos for Plato in his encounter with Socrates. This encounter appears essential to enable the metaphysical flight of Plato’s thought, and represents the moment when philosophy becomes a medicine for the soul.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are said to have far-reaching potentials. While some organizations already lever AI technologies’ potentials, others have not kept pace. Motivated by organizations’ need to sustainably realize business value from AI-enabled IS, the aim of this thesis is to guide organizations in designing and managing AI-enabled IS. I structured my thesis along three research goals (RG): identifying relevant organizational capabilities to lever AI technologies’ potentials (RG1), guiding organizations in designing AI-enabled IS (RG2), and guiding organizations in managing AI-enabled IS (RG3). Approaching RG1, I derive organizational capabilities requirements to inform the organizational design and digital practices, frame the thesis’ results, and shed light on issues that need (scientific) guid-ance (Essay 1). RG2 deals with guidance for organizations to foster preparatory capabilities, while RG3 addresses the realization capabilities. Besides informing the organizational design and digital practice by rigorously developed knowledge, this thesis provides several artifacts that scholars and practitioners can use. The introduced artifacts guide organizations in identi-fying AI use cases (Essay 2), deconstructing the creation of AI applications’ business value (Essay 3), assessing the evolution of component technologies (Essay 4), managing AI appli-cations (Essay 5), and measuring system risks (Essay 6). My thesis provides novel theoretical perspectives on the identification of value-creating and value-capturing paths, their evaluation, their actualization, and management practices that sustain them. Accordingly, the essays provide theoretical lenses on, above all, the interplay between the technical and social subsystems of AI-enabled IS. The essays’ relevance stems from providing design-oriented or management-oriented knowledge and the development of artifacts following the design science research paradigm.
General U(N) gauge transformations in the realm of covariant Hamiltonian field theory

description: A consistent, local coordinate formulation of covariant Hamiltonian field theory is presented. While the covariant canonical field equations are equivalent to the Euler-Lagrange field equations, the covariant canonical transformation theory offers more general means for defining mappings that preserve the action functional - and hence the form of the field equations - than the usual Lagrangian description. Similar to the well-known canonical transformation theory of point dynamics, the canonical transformation rules for fields are derived from generating functions. As an interesting example, we work out the generating function of type F_2 of a general local U(N) gauge transformation and thus derive the most general form of a Hamiltonian density that is form-invariant under local U(N) gauge transformations.

Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and its subsequent annexation is, undoubtedly, one of the most daring, aggressive acts in modern time. This invasion represented a clear violation of all recognized treaties. Despite that, discussion focused entirely on the political and legal aspects of the incasion, to the detriment of no less important issues, such as Iraq's claims justifying their invasion. The main concern of this thesis is to fill this vacuum and discuss fully the legal aspect of the Iraqi invasion to prove its illegality under both International Law and Islamic International Law. In evaluating the legality of the Iraqi claim, the thesis discusses in the first chapter the historical development of Kuwait and how it became an independent nation. In the second chapter, the focus is on the lefality of the protection agreement of 1899 signed between the Emir of Kuwait and the British government. It proves that such agreement was legally sound. The rest of the chapters are devoted to a discussion of all Iraqi claims vis a vis Kuwait and their legality under both modern International Law and Islamic International Law. The discussion is dealt with under three headings: invasion in response to Kuwait economic aggression, invasion upon the request of Kuwaiti dissidents, and finally the legality of the invasion under Islamic International Law. The outcome of such discussion is that all Iraqi claims failed to meet the test of legality under the rules of both laws. Moreover, it proved that states will use the ambiguity of legal rules and exploit them to their advantage as was in the case of Iraq.

Il perturbante e la crisi

Publisher: name: Thaumàzein | Rivista di Filosofia
Year: 2023

description: This paper aims to reflect on the polyvocal notions of “appearance” and “kairos”, framing them in an unprecedent field of investigation: the relations between foreigners. In fact, the analysis focuses on some central passages of Aeschylus’ Suppliants, the paradigmatic “drama of hospitality”. A first scenario reflects on the uncanny nature of the Danaids: they are barbarians, in appearance, behaviour and forma mentis, but also Greek, due to their genealogy common to the Argives. The analysis aims to prove that this double identity explains the “prism of the appearance”. Like a reflecting surface, the phenomenal sphere reveals and refracts: it is not illusory, because it shows a “visual truth”, but it is not exhaustive, because it transmits a partial image, which must be integrated with a “narrative truth”. A second scenario, indeed, investigates the crisis experienced by Pelasgus, king of Argos, related to the necessity to decide about the fate of the Danaids: hospitality or rejection? But the king faces this situation with responsibility because he recognizes the sacrality of the moment he lives. The exam intends to show that Pelasgus’ anguish explains the “dynamic stability of the kairos”. This exceptional time, on the one hand, proves to be a “stable point”, because it blocks the consequentiality of events; on the other, it is a “dynamic moment”, because it is a crossroads of opposing possibilities. But only after a critical examination of all the hypotheses, Pelasgus chooses to act as he should: welcoming the Suppliants, honouring the divine law of hospitality.

description: This essay explores the semantic richness and practical applications of two concepts: kairos and deceit, through a meticulous analysis of their various manifestations. Regarding the notion of deceit, we will delve into the concepts of falsehood, error and fascination. As for the concept of kairos, we will emphasize its connection to the ideas of opportunity and appropriateness in both practices and behaviours. This research primarily focuses on Sophistic and Platonic texts, which provide valuable material for reflection. These texts enable us to clarify the meaning and theoretical utility of each concept under examination and to explore their intriguing and interconnected relationship. The interplay between kairos and deceit manifests in diverse realms such as ethics, rhetoric and art, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of praxis at every level of consideration.

description: This article analyses the role of the kairos in Greek rhetoric between the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The kairos is a complex and elusive notion. It is first and foremost the right time to deliver a speech, but the term also indicates the appropriateness of the arrangement of a speech and its brilliant style, which is achieved through the careful search for words, choosing them for their phonic and rhythmic pleasantness. The investigation starts with the Sophists and especially Gorgias and then analyses how the kairos is understood and used by 4th century rhetoricians such as Alcidamas, Isocrates, and Demosthenes. The survey ends with Aristotle and Plato. Aristotle, in the Rhetoric, does not explicitly formulate a theory of kairos but underlines the importance of both the choice of the appropriate time to deliver a speech and the use of proper language. Finally, the paper analyses the concept of rhetoric as psychagogy in Plato's Phaedrus: in his theory of philosophical rhetoric, the kairos indicates the right time and also the best ways with which discourse addresses different types of souls to direct them to virtue.

description: Reradiation of a spatially non-uniform ultrashort electromagnetic pulse interacting with the linear chain of multielectron atoms is studied in the framework of sudden perturbation approximation. Angular distributions of the reradiation spectrum for arbitrary number of atoms are obtained. It is shown that interference effects for the photon radiation amplitudes lead to appearing of "diffraction" maximums. The obtained results can be extended to the case of two- and three-dimensional crystal lattices and atomic chains. The approach developed allows also to take into account thermal vibrations of the lattice atoms.

Una riflessione sul Mitsein: da Heidegger a Jean-Luc Nancy
Creators: name: Marcacci, Carmine
Publisher: name: Thaumàzein | Rivista di Filosofia
Year: 2023

description: This article focuses on the fundamental background of the Mitsein ontology. The first part of the essay is specifically devoted to those paragraphs of Sein und Zeit that had been most fundamental to the development of Heidegger’s explanation of Mitsein. It highlights the premises and the consequences of Heidegger’s setting of the problem. Nancy wonders why Heidegger did not elaborate on the description of Mitsein, even if he always underlined the co-originariness of Dasein and Mitsein. Hence, the first operation made by Nancy was to rethink the Mitsein as the heart of Being and its modalization. For this reason, the second part of the article focuses on Nancy’s reading of Heideggerian Mitsein and Mitdasein, in L’être-avec de l’être-là and L’«éthique originaire» de Heidegger. In these works, Nancy further highlights the relationship between ethics and ontology, which Heidegger’s Über den «Humanismus» had already addressed. Nancy, as Heidegger’s interpreter, points out the equivalence between original ethics and fundamental ontology. The different outcome of Heidegger’s and Nancy’s ontology, indeed, depends on the way they use the Mitsein category and on a different role that ethics plays in the thinking of these authors. In conclusion, Nancy’s reading of Heideggerian Mitsein shows, on the one hand, Nancy’s reservations towards Heidegger’s analysis and, on the other, explains the fruitfulness of Heidegger’s reflection on the theme.

Development of a 3D bioprinting software toolchain
Creators: name: Mohamed, Tamer Abdullah Gharieb
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) printers have revolutionized the process of prototyping and manufacturing inanimate objects. Extending this technology to tissue engineering as a means of creating customized in vitro tissue constructs that mimic in vivo conditions is a relatively new idea that has the potential to transform the way biological research is conducted. Biological tissues are inherently complex 3D heterogeneous structures. Many of these tissues are made up of building blocks that vary in composition and morphology. These building blocks are organized into different levels and locations which allow them to interact with one another in unique ways such that the overall tissue structure exhibits a specific biological function. Designing and then printing 3D biological structures composed of multiple cell-encapsulated building blocks, each programmed by composition and architecture and printed using different properties, is a challenge in tissue engineering. This thesis presents the development of a 3D bioprinting software toolchain for the design and printing of software-programmable tissues. The 3D bioprinting software toolchain is built around a novel bottom-up tissue engineering design method. The Tissue Building Block Design (TBBD) method seeks to enable the assembling of complex biological structures from a set of simpler building blocks, each coded with unique material compositions, printing properties, and architectures. Algorithms were developed to generate the layer-by-layer heterogeneous process plans required to 3D print tissue models designed using the TBBD method. We evaluate the performance of our implementation of the TBBD method by analyzing execution times and performing a comparison against a more standard design approach. We then analyze and discuss the effect of design choices and printing parameters on the overall printing process and the challenges associated with our microfluidics-based method of bioprinting. We also demonstrate the functionality and asses the capabilities of the 3D bioprinting software toolchain by printing several different heterogeneous hydrogel structures using our 3D bioprinter.

description: In principle, the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes LMXBs contain information about the geometry of the accretion flow and potentially the spacetime near the black hole, determined by its mass and spin. In practice, the inferences about spin and inner flow remain controversial despite big improvements in signal to noise and resolution of the data since the first attempts to infer spin from X-ray spectra. Rather than attempt to “measure” the spin or the inner flow size from the spectral model with variable spin or R_in, we attempt a comprehensive spectral analysis using a zero spin (and R_in=6r_g) model - the “vanilla” model - in an attempt to understand under what conditions, if at all, the model can be made to reproduce the data for various LMXB systems. We adopt a fully Bayesian approach with the best available prior information on BH mass and distance, making use of the latest and most self-consistent combination of various emission components and the most accurate models of interstellar absorption, using XMM-Newton RGS data. With a sample of over 35 black hole XRBs and upwards of 100 observations, this marks the largest and most self-consistent analysis of its nature, allowing for detailed exploration of the geometric properties and changes these systems experience throughout outburst.

description: Let X be a manifold with an action of a torus T such that all isotropy groups are connected and satisfying some other mild hypotheses. We provide a necessary and sufficient criterion for the T-equivariant cohomology of X with real coefficients to be a certain syzygy as a module over the cohomology of BT. It turns out that, possibly after blowing up the non-free part of the action, this only depends on the orbit space X/T together with its stratification by orbit type. Our criterion unifies and generalizes results of many authors about the freeness and torsion-freeness of equivariant cohomology for various classes of T-manifolds.

description: We study a complex action theory (CAT) whose path runs over not only past but also future. We show that if we regard a matrix element defined in terms of the future state at time $T_B$ and the past state at time $T_A$ as an expectation value in the CAT, then we are allowed to have the Heisenberg equation, the Ehrenfest's theorem and the conserved probability current density. In addition we show that the expectation value at the present time $t$ of a future-included theory for large $T_B-t$ and large $t- T_A$ corresponds to that of a future-not-included theory with a proper inner product for large $t- T_A$. Hence the CAT with future explicitly present in the formalism and influencing in principle the past is not excluded phenomenologically, because the effects are argued to be very small in the present era. Furthermore we explicitly derive the Schrödinger equation and Hamiltonian for the future state via path integral, and confirm that the Hamiltonian is given by the Hermitian conjugate of the Hamiltonian for the past state.

Distinguishing Between Stellar and Planetary Companions With Phase Monitoring

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Exoplanets which are detected using the radial velocity technique have a well-known ambiguity of their true mass, caused by the unknown inclination of the planetary orbit with respect to the plane of the sky. Constraints on the inclination are aided by astrometric follow-up in rare cases or, in ideal situations, through subsequent detection of a planetary transit. As the predicted inclination decreases, the mass of the companion increases leading to a change in the predicted properties. Here we investigate the changes in the mass, radius, and atmospheric properties as the inclination pushes the companion from the planetary into the brown dwarf and finally low-mass star regimes. We determine the resulting detectable photometric signatures in the predicted phase variation as the companion changes properties and becomes self-luminous. We apply this to the HD 114762 and HD 162020 systems for which the minimum masses of the known companions places them at the deuterium-burning limit.
