A Bayesian Semiparametric Approach to Estimating a Bacterium's Wild-Type Distribution and Prevalence: Accounting for Contamination and Measurement Error
Creators: name: Eagan, Will A
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Applied statistics

description: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major challenge to modern medicine and of grave concern to public health. To monitor AMR, researchers analyze "drug/bug" collections of clinical assay results to estimate AMR prevalence and the distribution of susceptible (wild-type) strains. This estimation is challenging because (a) the collection of assay results is a mixture of susceptible and resistant (non-wild-type) strains and (b) the most commonly used dilution assay produces interval-censored readings. To limit the effects of contamination from non-wild-type strains, methods have focused on using the counts in the K left-most bins, with K based on different heuristics. This limited use of the available data can result in the loss of precision and accuracy of model parameters. More recent methods have fit all the bin counts using a mixture model. These methods, however, struggle with identifiability and rely on penalization or informative priors to obtain reasonable estimates. In addition, none of the methods specifically account for the inherent assay variability, which has been shown to encompass a three-fold dilution range.
To account for this measurement error and utilize the full data set of bin counts, we propose a Bayesian semiparametric method to handle both single-year and multiyear studies. Similar to the previous mixture model methods, we model the wild-type distribution parametrically. Because less is known about the non-wild-type distribution,the proposed method uses a Dirichlet Process mixture model for the non-wild-type distribution. By accounting for measurement error we are able to impose biologicalconstraints on the degree of overlap between the two underlying true distributions. In doing this, we maintain identifiability. The feasibility of this approach and its improved precision and accuracy are demonstrated through simulation studies and an application to a real data set.

description: Abstract

In the Hall of Justice, a court interpreter is an essential team member who facilitates smooth communication at all stages and phases of the process. Therefore, this research investigates the court interpreter's role and provides strategies and practical educational guidelines. This research aims to critically analyze the challenges faced by court interpreters, including ensuring accuracy, neutrality, and management of technical legal language, with the hypothesis that court interpreters have great difficulties in these areas. A purposive sample of 30 court interpreters from Jordan was selected for using an online survey. The online survey covers various topics, including background information, language skills, challenges, professional development, types of interpretation, training, and advocacy to explore these areas. The results show that interpreters believe that their formal training is insufficient, especially in cases involving legal nuances, and they face specific technical challenges. There is a need to create specialized training in legal terminology and cultural competence workshops to improve the quality of judicial interpretation. The conclusion highlights the importance of providing such training to help court interpreters overcome the difficulties they face, especially when dealing with complex legal terminology.

description: Complete non-ambiguous trees (CNATs) are combinatorial objects which appear in various contexts.Recently, Chen and Ohlig studied the notion of permutations associated to these objects, and proposed a series of nice conjectures.Most of them were proved by Selig and Zhu, through a connection with the abelian sandpile model.But one conjecture remained open, about the distribution of a natural statistic named determinant.We prove this conjecture, in a bijective way.

Thermoneutral Housing Did Not Impact the Combined Effects of External Loading and Raloxifene on Bone Morphology and Mechanical Properties in Growing Female Mice
Creators: name: Tastad, Carli Anne
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

description: Raloxifene is an FDA-approved selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that improves tissue quality by binding to collagen and increasing the bound water content in the bone matrix in a cell-independent manner. In this thesis, active tissue formation was induced by non-invasive external tibial loading in female mice and combined with raloxifene treatment to assess their combined effect on bone morphology and mechanical properties. Thermoregulation is an important factor that could have physiological consequences on research outcomes, and was introduced as an additional experimental factor in this study. We hypothesized that by removing the mild cold stress under which normal lab animals are housed, a metabolic boost would allow for further architectural and mechanical improvements as a result of the combination of tibial loading and raloxifene treatment. Ten week old female C57BL/6J mice were treated with raloxifene, underwent tibial loading to a strain level of 2050με and were housed in thermoneutral conditions (32°C) for 6 weeks. We investigated bone morphology through microcomputed tomography (μCT) and mechanical properties via four-point bending and fracture toughness testing. Results indicated a combined improvement by external loading and raloxifene on geometry, particularly in the cancellous region of the bone, and also in bone mechanics leading to greater improvements than either treatment individually. Temperature did not have a robust impact on either bone architecture or mechanical integrity.

description: Lithic artifact functions are often determined by analysis of form alone. Artifact function can be determined through experimental archaeology, use-wear, and paleoethnobotanical analyses. Determining artifact function provides information about the types of tasks people performed, including activities involving materials which are unlikely to preserve in the archaeological record. Such data are valuable for our understanding of day-to-day activities and larger scale past economic organization. This thesis addresses the function a novel form of unifacial scraper from the Classic period (250 – 900 AD) Maya city of Waka’, Guatemala. I employed experimental replication, use-wear analysis, and paleoethnobotanical analyses to ascertain potential functions for the specific tool type. This study shows that these tools were likely intended to process soft organic materials such as maguey cacti, but in practice they were employed for a variety of tasks. Beyond investigating the function of a novel tool form, produced on chert, which is underappreciated in Maya archaeology, this thesis uses this information to comment on the nature of Classic period Maya economies. This research adds to broader ongoing reassessments of Maya economies, which are now recognized as more similar to our own economies than previously thought. I find that these scrapers were quotidian tools manufactured by specialists and exchanged through a commercial system, illustrating that Classic Maya economies were complex, multi-scalar, and commercialized.

description: We investigate the transport properties of a quantum wire of weakly interacting fermions in the presence of local particle loss. We calculate current and conductance in this system due to applied external chemical potential bias that can be measured in experimental realizations of ultracold fermions in quasi one-dimensional traps. Using a Keldysh field theory approach based on the Lindblad equation, we establish a perturbative scheme to study the effect of imbalanced reservoirs. Logarithmically divergent terms are resummed using a renormalization group method, and a novel powerlaw behavior for the conductance as a function of the potential bias across the wire is found. In contrast to the equilibrium case of a potential barrier in a Luttinger liquid, the conductance exhibits a scaling behavior, which depends on the interaction strength and on the loss probability. Repulsive interactions reduce the conductance of the wire while attractive interactions enhance it. However, perfect reflectivity and transparency are only reached in the absence of particle loss.

Energy And Exergy Based Impact Of Avionics Thermal Management Systems On Tactical Aircraft Performance
Creators: name: Hedspeth, Joseph Terranova
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Thermal management systems for tactical aircraft electronics cooling were studied in this work. The systems consisted of an HFC-134a based vapor compression cycle (VCC) and an air-based reversed-Brayton cycle (RBC). The heat loads consisted of aircraft electronics, including avionics. The system models were built using detailed component-level models. The models underwent verification and validation to check mass and energy conservation, as well as ensuring the model’s behavior reflected the actual system’s behavior. Both models were run through a matrix of boundary conditions that represented specific segments of two tactical aircraft missions with next generation thermal loads. These segments included typical tactical aircraft operating conditions: ground idle, cruise, combat, dash, and loiter. The resulting system performance of both models was analyzed using a first law energy-based fuel impact and second law exergy-based irreversibility method to determine their respective impact to the aircraft. Component level irreversibilities were also analyzed. The VCC cooling system met or exceeded cooling performance goals, while the RBC fell short during some mission segments. The VCC also had a lower fuel impact than the RBC from an energy perspective and lower system and component level irreversibilities from an exergy perspective for most mission segments. The opposite trend was observed during the ground idle segment, where the VCC’s fuel impact was larger but irreversibilities were lower than the RBC’s.The VCC’s lower fuel impact was due to the engine power take-off having less of an impact on engine fuel flow than the RBC’s bleed air. The VCC’s lower irreversibilities were due to the system’s use of phase change in the heat exchangers, which tended to be more efficient than the single-phase heat transfer in the RBC’s heat exchangers. Some limitations of the study should be addressed in future work, including electrical power generation losses and an improved air humidity model that operates better at low temperatures and incorporates moisture evaporation. Alternative VCC refrigerants with higher critical temperatures should also be explored to ensure the system does not limit the aircraft operationally. New architectures should be explored that combine RBC cooling and VCC cooling. Overall, the VCC cooled the thermal load more efficiently with a lower overall impact to the aircraft than the RBC from both energy and exergy based perspectives.

description: To unequivocally distinguish genuine quantumness from classicality, a widely adopted approach focuses on the negative values of a quasi-distribution representation as compelling evidence of nonclassicality. Prominent examples include the dynamical process nonclassicality characterized by the canonical Hamiltonian ensemble representation (CHER) and the nonclassicality of quantum states characterized by the Wigner function. However, to construct a multivariate joint quasi-distribution function with negative values from experimental data is typically highly cumbersome. Here we propose a computational approach utilizing a deep generative model, processing three marginals, to construct the bivariate joint quasi-distribution functions. We first apply our model to tackle the challenging problem of the CHERs, which lacks universal solutions, rendering the problem ground-truth (GT) deficient. To overcome the GT deficiency of the CHER problem, we design optimal synthetic datasets to train our model. While trained with synthetic data, the physics-informed optimization enables our model to capture the detrimental effect of the thermal fluctuations on nonclassicality, which cannot be obtained from any analytical solutions. This underscores the reliability of our approach. This approach also allows us to predict the Wigner functions subject to thermal noises. Our model predicts the Wigner functions with a prominent accuracy by processing three marginals of probability distributions. Our approach also provides a significant reduction of the experimental efforts of constructing the Wigner functions of quantum states, giving rise to an efficient alternative way to realize the quantum state tomography.

title: Daniel Defoe : The Family Instructor

Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

Subjects: subject: Family, Instructor, Values, Relationships, Religion, Novels, Structure, Style

description: The focus of this thesis is The Family Instructor by Daniel Defoe. There are two books: Volume I, first published in 1715, and Volume II, published in 1718. In both cases I have used the Pickering and Chatto edition, published in 2006 and edited by P.N. Furbank.

The thesis examines The Family Instructor, in the contexts of family, religion and of its style, to argue that, although usually classed as a conduct book, it is not easily categorised, reflecting as it does Defoe‘s transitional status between ancient and modern times.

The Introduction gives my argument. After the opening chapter, which contains critical remarks on Defoe‘s work, Chapter Two considers The Family Instructor in the context of contemporary representations of the family. The older, patriarchal model is examined. In this the husband/ and father is responsible for the entire household, whereas the modern, ―nuclear‖, version, which is also examined, relies less on status and more on contractual and emotional relationships.

Chapter Three looks at religion, beginning with an overview of the many sects which are significant for an understanding of The Family Instructor. The chapter argues that although Defoe is at times close to the Latitudinarian position and despite his claim that the work is designed to apply both to Anglicans and Dissenters, his overall position is that of a Dissenter.

Chapter Four examines the conduct book genre and goes on to compare the style of The Family Instructor with that of Robinson Crusoe in particular, arguing that the former does not qualify as a ―conduct book‖ and that many of the devices which Defoe uses in his first long narrative are present in The Family Instructor. The Conclusion draws together the arguments of the preceding chapters.

Materials are crucial components of virtual relightable assets, defining the interaction of light at the surface of geometries. Given their importance, significant research effort was dedicated to their representation, creation and acquisition. However, in the past 6 years, most research in material acquisiton or generation relied either on the same unique dataset, or on company-owned huge library of procedural materials. With this dataset we propose a significantly larger, more diverse, and higher resolution set of materials than previously publicly available. We carefully discuss the data collection process and demonstrate the benefits of this dataset on material acquisition and generation applications. The complete data further contains metadata with each material's origin, license, category, tags, creation method and, when available, descriptions and physical size, as well as 3M+ renderings of the augmented materials, in 1K, under various environment lightings. The MatSynth dataset is released through the project page at: https://www.gvecchio.com/matsynth.

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder is an increasingly common developmental disability. Students diagnosed with ASD can be challenging to incorporate into mainstream classrooms due to a lack of understanding and negative attitudes of neurotypical peers towards those students. This thesis aims to address the problem in a unit plan centered on the use of young adult literature with a main protagonist on the Spectrum in the English Language Arts classroom. Specifically, it argues the use of such texts in conjunction with a literature circles unit in providing better understanding and greater acceptance of students with ASD. The unit and lesson plans were written to reflect how Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, Bishop’s windows, doors, and mirrors , and the texts students read can influence their thinking and behavior. Using goodreads and local ELA book lists, I selected four YAL texts which portrayed the main character with ASD as they go about their daily lives. These texts were then incorporated into the twenty-lesson unit plan which aims at supporting positive attitudes and acceptance of neurotypical students towards their peers with ASD.

description: Cosmic Birefringence (CB) is a phenomenon in which the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation is rotated as it travels through space due to the coupling between photons and an axion-like field. We look for a solution able to explain the result obtained from the \textit{Planck} Public Release 4 (PR4), which has provided a hint of detection of the CB angle, $α=(0.30\pm0.11)^{\circ}$. In addition to the solutions, already present in the literature, which need a non-negligible evolution in time of the axion-like field during recombination, we find a new region of the parameter space which allows for a nearly constant time evolution of such a field in the same epoch. The latter reinforces the possibility to employ the commonly used relations connecting the observed CMB spectra with the unrotated ones, through trigonometric functions of the CB angle. However, if the homogeneous axion field sourcing isotropic birefringence is almost constant in time during the matter-dominated era, this does not automatically implies that the same holds true also for the associated inhomogeneous perturbations. For this reason, in this paper we present a full generalized Boltzmann treatment of this phenomenon, that is able, for the first time to our knowledge to deal with the time evolution of anisotropic cosmic birefringence (ACB). We employ this approach to provide predictions of ACB, in particular for the set of best-fit parameters found in the new solution of the isotropic case. If the latter is the correct model, we expect an ACB spectrum of the order of $(10^{-15}\div10^{-32})$ deg$^2$ for the auto-correlation, and $(10^{-7}\div10^{-17})$ $μ$K$\cdot\,$deg for the cross-correlations with the CMB $T$ and $E$ fields, depending on the angular scale.

Biasing Receptor Mediated Signaling in Metastatic Breast Cancer

Subjects: Pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences not elsewhere classified

description: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a well-recognized proto-oncogene and mediator of cancer cell growth and proliferation. Emerging evidence suggests the paradoxical role of EGFR activation, unique to metastatic breast cancer cells. Previously studies elucidated the role of EGFR mediated activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1, STAT1, is required to induce apoptosis in cells with increased metastatic potential. In this current study, we evaluate the effects of cells with mutations leading to aberrations in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PI3K/AKT/protein kinase B signaling. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit α (PIK3CA) is a key regulator of the PI3K/Akt pathway and is one of the most commonly mutated genes in breast cancer patients. Utilizing human breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-468 and BT-20s, characterized by amplified protein levels of EGFR and mutations in the PI3K signaling, we demonstrate activation of EGFR with EGF leads to increased pSTAT1 expression. We further demonstrate biased EGFR signaling toward STAT1 activation by pharmacological inhibition of downstream kinase activity with MEK1/2 inhibitor, trametinib, and the AKT inhibitor, Uprosertib or in combination with the PI3Kα specific inhibitor Alpelisib, trade name, PIQRAY. Combination MEK and Akt signaling inhibition followed by EGF stimulation show marked increase in apoptotic activity and decreased cell viability. Moreover, we demonstrate changes in EGFR mediated apoptosis in murine breast cancer cell line derived from metastatic lung nodules, delineate from cells derived from the primary tumor. These finding support the notion of differential evolution of cancer cells as they metastasize to secondary organs. Furthermore, EGFR expression was observed to be vital in EGF mediated pSTAT1 in human breast cancer cell lines. To this end we explored alternative stimulators of pSTAT1 using interferon activation. Addition of INFγ led to robust pSTAT1 in cells that did not respond to EGF and levels of pSTAT1 were not attenuated with our combination treatment. Together, our findings demonstrate the differential role of EGFR expression and signaling in metastatic cells and tolerance for novel combination therapies for patients of late stage breast cancer.

description: Flux attachment provides a powerful conceptual framework for understanding certain forms of topological order, including most notably the fractional quantum Hall effect. Despite its ubiquitous use as a theoretical tool, directly realizing flux attachment in a microscopic setting remains an open challenge. Here, we propose a simple approach to realizing flux attachment in a periodically-driven (Floquet) system of either spins or hard-core bosons. We demonstrate that such a system naturally realizes correlated hopping interactions and provides a sharp connection between such interactions and flux attachment. Starting with a simple, nearest-neighbor, free boson model, we find evidence -- from both a coupled wire analysis and large-scale density matrix renormalization group simulations -- that Floquet flux attachment stabilizes the bosonic integer quantum Hall state at $1/4$ filling (on a square lattice), and the Halperin-221 fractional quantum Hall state at $1/6$ filling (on a honeycomb lattice). At $1/2$ filling on the square lattice, time-reversal symmetry is instead spontaneously broken and bosonic integer quantum Hall states with opposite Hall conductances are degenerate. Finally, we propose an optical-lattice-based implementation of our model on a square lattice and discuss prospects for adiabatic preparation as well as effects of Floquet heating.

Multiplexed quantum repeaters based on single-photon interference with mild stabilization

description: Quantum repeaters are pivotal in the physical layer of the quantum internet. For its development, quantum repeaters capable of efficient entanglement distribution are necessary. Quantum repeater schemes based on single-photon interference are promising due to their potential efficiency. However, schemes involving first-order interference with photon sources at distant nodes require stringent phase stability in the components, which poses challenges for long-distance implementation. In this paper, we present a quantum repeater scheme that leverages single-photon interference with reduced difficulty of phase stabilization. Additionally, under specific conditions, we demonstrate that our scheme achieves a higher entanglement distribution rate between end nodes compared to existing schemes. This approach, implementable using only feasible technologies including multimode quantum memories and two-photon sources, offers high entanglement distribution rates and mild phase stabilization, leading to the development of multimode quantum repeaters.

title: Formations of the Contemporary : Islam, Globalization and Art
Creators: name: Madani, Adnan
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

Subjects: subject: Jean-Luc Nancy, Talal Asad, Secularism, Islam, Pakistani Art, Wittgenstein, Muslim, Subjectivity

description: This dissertation aims to describe a contemporary Muslim subjectivity as it is formed in response to globalization, universalism and secularism. The central theoretical focus is Jean-Luc Nancy’s deconstruction of Christianity, and its claim that secularism and globalization are connected to the internal form of monotheism. Where Nancy accords a special privilege to Christianity as the most autodeconstructive of the Abrahamic faiths, he also sees it losing its specific contours, as it becomes the naturalized form of the world through globalization. I set this thesis alongside narrative descriptions of my own experience as a cosmopolitan artist, theorist and traveller, to discover to what extent Nancy’s philosophy can satisfactorily account for a Muslim experience. Talal Asad’s examination of the complex genealogies of secularism, and his strong refusal of any necessary historical link between Christianity and modern secularism are contrasted with Nancy’s use of the term. Since both Asad and Nancy refer repeatedly if unsystematically to Wittgenstein, I show how his thinking on culture and religion informs the two very different thinkers. I proceed by examining four different histories of the idea of ‘universalism’ in contemporary philosophy: in the writings of Judith Butler on Hegel, Alain Badiou on Paul the Apostle, Akeel Bilgrami on Gandhi, and Louis Massignon on al-Hallaj. A recurrent motif within Christian universalism is Paul’s distinction between ‘circumcision of the heart’ and ‘circumcision of the flesh’, which I examine in Badiou’s philosophy and in the context of my own Muslim experience. I then examine the roots of a certain identity struggle in modern and contemporary art from Pakistan, linked to its emergence as a country founded in the name of Islam, but with the forms and traditions of 19th century European liberalism as well. Through a reading of one of my own art works as well as those of some of my contemporaries, I illustrate and expand on the nature of this conflicted identity. Finally, I suggest a rereading of Nancy that might incorporate Asad’s critique, and allows the possibility of rehabilitating ‘exoticism’ as a model of global encounter.
APPLICATIONS OF SHORT AND ULTRASHORT LASER INTERACTION WITH MATTER: FOR ABLATION AND NANOLITHOGRAPHY

description: The laser is being applied to various industrial applications as well as many research areas since the first laser built in the 1960s until it became a promising candidate for the technology development in the modern life. Hence, laser-material interaction continued to draw global attention. Understanding the mechanism of laser-material interaction at the femto- and nanosecond scales is crucial for basic research as well as energy, industrial, and defense applications. This thesis provides a study of the physics involved in laser-target interaction processes. This study starts with laser energy couples to target materials, then followed by studying of the ejected target particles, and the evolution of the evolving plasma. Although there are thorough works both theoretical and experimental which have been conducted over the years, there are still open questions to be answered. This includes the coupling of laser energy to the target material mainly in the high laser energy regions, the role of laser pulse duration on the dependence of the energytarget coupling, the charged particles ejection mechanisms, and how the pulse duration and target material properties affect target evolution. Understanding of the physics and mechanisms of laser energy coupling to the target material was then used for developing and optimizing multi-disciplinary applications. In this thesis, the ultrafast laser was investigated as a promising candidate for nanoparticles generation and thin film fabrication. Furthermore, laser energy was used to study the erosion of metals under different ambient conditions of gas and pressure, these conditions provide a simultaneous thermal, charged particles, and photons irradiation. These conditions are similar to the conditions at which material is exposed to in real applications such as energy applications using fusion reactors. Coupling both ultrafast and fast laser pulses was used for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light generation for advanced nanolithography for the next-generation computer chips. This laser-produced plasma could provide a solution to one of a problem existing in the current lithography industry which is ion debris and EUV photon collection system lifetime degradation.
title: Heterarchies and Missed Encounters

Subjects: subject: antimonumentality, art practice, complot, disagreement, epistemic confusion, knowledge production, latin america, missed encounter, not-knowing, philosophy of the encounter

description: This project explores affects and effects of epistemic confusion through the figure of the missed encounter. In oblique dialogue with post-Althusserian studies, the project makes a new performative term available for debates on contemporary artistic practice and knowledge production. The missed encounter does not signal a lack of encounters, nor an encounter that should have taken place and/but/or did not for an (un)expected reason. The missed encounter is unstable, it can operate as: a missed prescription, the sad outcome of a failed meeting, a quarrel or a disagreement.

Drawing on diverse materials spanning conceptual art, science fiction, paraliterary production and European and Latin American philosophy the project performs and explores such missed encounters. Chapter One introduces Santiago-Castro Gómez’s figure of the heterarchy and sets a template where artistic practices that deal with discursive and linguistic material come across affects of not-knowing. Chapter Two explores the notion of epistemic breakdown and knowledge by-products; it does so by reading the Strugatsky Brothers’ Novella A Billion Years Before the End of the World (2014) and actualising Robert Smithson’s Tour of the Monuments of Passaic (1996) in relation to it. Chapter Three reads Ricardo Piglia’s Theory of Complot (2002, 2015) and its production of a com-plot: a machination of plots that activate suspicion and intrigue as conspiranoid drivers of epistemic production. Chapter Four follows Hugo Santiago’s film Invasión (1969), exploring paraliterary situations of immanence, recurrence and non-exit through the retro-futural story of an infinite siege. 

The material brought into play in this project engages with the performative and self-actualising dimensions of textual production, tackling linguistic surpluses and the limits of knowledge products. Following this thrust, the project probes the productive ranges of a writing of the missed encounter.
title: Magnifying lenses: How the spectral analysis of the voice – human and animal – can be used to strengthen the connection between text and music
Creators: name: Rosani, Silvia

Subjects: subject: Sound analysis, Instrumental synthesis, Spectral music, Intersections, Rhizome, Deleuze, Animal and human voices, Aura

description: This commentary describes how my compositions in the last four years have been based upon models of human and animal vocal utterances, including both textual and paralinguistic elements, and how they strengthen the connection between text and music especially via synthetic relationships, based on the reproduction of the microscopic sound features of the voices which utter text. The textual elements are projected into the speech domain, thus acquiring uniqueness and including in the composition the aura of the being whose voice is analysed and later re-synthesised by the instruments involved. Varied repetition is used to feature text at multiple levels of enlargement, or filtering stages. All these occurrences of the same textual material have been regarded as nodes of a rhizome, since I conceived them as windows on to plateaux with different temporal scales or filtering processes, all intersecting a clearly defined socio-political plateau. The window form proved very useful for the inclusion of improvisation-based blocks and for the incorporation of elements from previously existing compositions into new ones. The Deleuzian concept of the rhizome created a suitable frame for the main aspects of my research and, since the change of analytical methodology in the course of the portfolio reflects my growing interest in perception, it is my intention to proceed along the path shown by Deleuze and Bergson to investigate the concepts of repetition and memory. Within the portfolio, the socio-political layer is at first determined by the content of the text, but later also by the identity of the person uttering the text and the techniques (s)he uses, so that in one of my compositions I successfully embedded music belonging to a non-Western culture. These trends show a future path for my research – namely, the identification of social differences among individuals and the detection of the traces of trauma through the analysis of their voices.
