title: Media Effects on Cultural Perceptions as Seen in Food Media and Food Cultures
Creators: name: Tortolini, David Williams
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Everyday people all over the world watch food media. These engagements happen through multiple media outlets -- both new and old -- such as documentaries, streaming platforms, and television. Through these outlets, viewers can immerse themselves in a group’s culinary culture from the comforts of their residences. What happens when viewers engage with these cultures has been fabricated for consumerism and hegemonic balancing. This thesis will examine and critique how these platforms have created conditions for a change in cultural definitions and representations. Audiences in the United States are shown these changes when they are shown a specific group's cultural products that contradict what the group members have traditionally engaged with and consumed. While these forms of engagement, consumption, and observation can be looked at using multiple lenses and historical contexts, what is key to each examination is questioning how media create engagement and consumerism with these forms. Some key questions that I plan to answer include: How are erasure and misrepresentation of the culinary culture portrayed in media? How are new media outlets following traditional tropes and creating sites of discourse? How are practices of redefining the Other affected by media representation? How does audience engagement cement these new definitions? The last two questions are the most important as a consumer of food can choose how to engage with their own culture, the culture of another person, or a mix of the two. Is it possible that with new media platforms, ones that mix media and hands-on consumer engagement, the audience becomes part of the definition process? What will the consumer and, in large part, society do when they are told by people who immigrate/migrate into their community that the dish they have always perceived as true was a fabrication? Using an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, it is the aim of this thesis to shed light on how these processes are performed every day.
Efficient quantum error correction of dephasing induced by a common fluctuator

description: Quantum error correction is expected to be essential in large-scale quantum technologies. However, the substantial overhead of qubits it requires is thought to greatly limit its utility in smaller, near-term devices. Here we introduce a new family of special-purpose quantum error-correcting codes that offer an exponential reduction in overhead compared to the usual repetition code. They are tailored for a common and important source of decoherence in current experiments, whereby a register of qubits is subject to phase noise through coupling to a common fluctuator, such as a resonator or a spin defect. The smallest instance encodes one logical qubit into two physical qubits, and corrects decoherence to leading-order using a constant number of one- and two-qubit operations. More generally, while the repetition code on $n$ qubits corrects errors to order $t^{O(n)}$, with $t$ the time between recoveries, our codes correct to order $t^{O(2^n)}$. Moreover, they are robust to model imperfections in small- and intermediate-scale devices, where they already provide substantial gains in error suppression. As a result, these hardware-efficient codes open a potential avenue for useful quantum error correction in near-term, pre-fault tolerant devices.

Non-thermal Leptogenesis from the Heavier Majorana Neutrinos

description: We investigate a scheme for making leptogenesis by means of the CP violating decays of the seesaw Majorana neutrinos proposed by Fukugita and Yanagida. However, in order to avoid the wash-out of the produced lepton number we propose the production of the Majorana neutrinos to occur non-thermally and sufficiently late. After this time, in consequence, the B-L (baryon minus lepton) quantum number becomes a good ``accidental symmetry'' protecting the asymmetry produced. This non-thermal leptogenesis at late time is realized by a boson decaying into the Majorana neutrinos with a long lifetime. Suggestively this boson could correspond to a scalar field which causes the cosmic inflation, the inflaton, and thus its decay means really the reheating of the Universe. We find that this mechanism works well even if the lightest Majorana neutrinos are not produced sufficiently or not present, and the decays of the heavier seesaw Majorana neutrinos can be responsible to the baryon asymmetry in the present Universe, as we illustrate by the example of the family replicated gauge group model.

description: A cybersecurity threat is termed as a spiteful action that normally seeks to damage data, stealing data, and disrupting digital life in broad. Most bouts that are involved in the disruption of data entail computer viruses, data breaches, and denial of service attacks. Cyber-attacks are typically launched against us via cyberspace, which is an implicit scope that does not exist and has become a simile to assist us to understand digital weaponry designed to harm us. Most cyberattacks are mere nuisances in which they can seriously threaten the livelihood of an individual. On several occasions, this cyber-attack can cause electrical blackouts, flop of military facilities, and infringements of national security secrets. As a result, valuables may be stolen, and sensorial data, such as medical records, may be lost. Additionally, cyber-attacks can disrupt phone and computer networks and be able to paralyze systems that make data unavailable.

description: We present emergent ergosurfaces (ES) in a transition layer between type-I and type-II Weyl semimetals (WSMs). The Hawking temperature defined by the surface gravity at the acoustic event horizon which coincides with the ES when the tangent velocity $v_{\parallel}$ is small is in a measurable interval. On the type-II WSM side, i.e., inside the {ES when $v_{\parallel}$ is large}, the motion of the quasiparticles may be chaotic {after} a critical surface as they are governed by an effective inverted oscillator potential induced by the mismatch between the type-I and type-II Weyl nodes. In a relevant lattice model, we calculate out of time ordered correlators (OTOCs). We find that the OTOCs are fast scrambling with a quantum Lyapunov exponent in high temperature and the scrambling is saturated after the Ehrenfest time. This confirms the quantum chaotic behavior.

Here we show that classical Besov spaces on compact homogeneous spaces are examples of such Besov spaces. On the other hand we show that even Besov spaces defined by a good grid made of partitions by intervals may differ from a classical Besov space, giving birth to exotic Besov spaces.

Moment theories for a d-dimensional dilute granular gas of Maxwell molecules

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Various systems of moment equations---consisting of up to (d+3)(d^2+6d+2)/6 moments---in a general dimension d for a dilute granular gas composed of Maxwell molecules are derived from the inelastic Boltzmann equation by employing the Grad moment method. The Navier--Stokes-level constitutive relations for the stress and heat flux appearing in the system of mass, momentum and energy balance equations are determined from the derived moment equations. It has been shown that the moment equations only for the hydrodynamic field variables (density, velocity and granular temperature), stress and heat flux---along with the time-independent value of the fourth cumulant---are sufficient for determining the Navier--Stokes-level constitutive relations in the case of inelastic Maxwell molecules, and that the other higher-order moment equations do not play any role in this case. The homogeneous cooling state of a freely cooling granular gas is investigated with the system of the Grad (d+3)(d^2+6d+2)/6-moment equations and its various subsystems. By performing a linear stability analysis in the vicinity of the homogeneous cooling state, the critical system size for the onset of instability is estimated through the considered Grad moment systems. The results on critical system size from the presented moment theories are found to be in reasonably good agreement with those from simulations.

Highntemperature fermentations and thermotolerant yeast species in the brewing scene

Subjects: subject: 69999 Biological Sciences not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis the effects of high temperatures on fermentation characteristics, as well as the use of thermotolerant yeasts in brewing are investigated. Specifically, the effects of high temperatures on yeast growth and fermentation rate are examined and the characteristics of the products produced at high temperature fermentations are analyzed. Signal transduction pathways involving reactive oxygen species as second messengers seem to participate in the decrease of yeast growth rate at supraoptimal temperatures, while ethanol, lactic acid and acetic acid are described as ‘escape valves’ for the yeast cells. Oxidative stress is linked to thermal stress. Furthermore, the effects of high fermentation temperatures on the production of volatile compounds during fermentation are overviewed. Esters’ and higher alcohols’ levels increase with the temperature and the promoted expression of specific genes which are involved in their production is the reason for that. Furthermore, diacetyl forms sharper peaks at high fermentation temperatures, which coincides with decreased maturation times. Acetaldehyde levels depend mainly on the availability of NADH and there is not a clear connection between their levels in beer and fermentation temperature. The brewing characteristics of several thermotolerant yeasts are analyzed. These yeasts come from the wine industry, the distilleries and bioethanol production sectors or from farmhouse ales, including Norwegian Kveik. Several Kveik yeasts have mutations at the CDC25 gene which has been found to increase thermotolerance. Novel products made with these yeasts are suggested and they include low alcohol beers with Brettanomyces, low alcohol beers and Lambics with Lachancea thermotolerans, hard seltzers with whisky strains and high gravity brewing with Kveik. The operational challenges and the benefits associated with high fermentation temperatures are stated. Thermotolerant yeasts can significantly decrease fermentation times and save at least 100,000 hL/year for a brewery with an annual production capacity of 5 million hL/year. Finally, a SWOT analysis is included for five of the articles that were used in this thesis to assess their quality, explore their strengths and weaknesses, and reveal their potential for new, more comprehensive, research projects. Most of the novel product ideas are contained in the SWOT analysis.

description: In this study, forskolin-loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles (FR-HSANPs) were successfully prepared by incorporation and affinity-binding methods. FR-HSANPs were characterized by transmission electron microscope that most of them are circular in shape and size is around 340 nm. The drug loading was more than 88% and further sustained release profiles were observed as it is 77.5% in 24 h time. Additionally, the cytotoxicity results with HepG2 cells indicated that FR-HSANPs showed significantly higher cytotoxicity and lower cell viability as compared to free forskolin (FR). Furthermore, to understand the binding mechanism of human serum albumin (HSA) with forskolin resulted from fluorescence quenching as a static mechanism and the binding constant is 6.26 ± 0.1 × 104 M−1, indicating a strong binding affinity. Further, association and dissociation kinetics of forskolin–HSA was calculated from surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and the binding constant found to be Kforskolin = 3.4 ± 0.24 × 104 M−1 and also fast dissociation was observed. Further, we used circular dichroism and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the possible structural changes including local conformational changes and rigidity of the residues of both HSA and HSA–forskolin complexes.

description: Talk at Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics IX, Sep 15-20, 2019 - Castle Waldthausen - Frankfurt - Germany Abstract Most C-enhanced metal poor stars show simultaneously substantial enhancements of heavy n-capture elements, such as Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La and Eu. These have been commonly classified according to the presence of the element Ba which is dominantly made by the s process and of Eu which has an s-process production contribution of only ∼3%, and is therefore considered an r-process element. We are revisiting the classification of CEMP stars with the goal to establish more granular criteria based on the neutron-density prevailing in the stellar nuclear production site. To this end we have constructed equilibrium nucleosynthesis simulations for 6 < log Nn < 23. These models are independent of any specific astrophysical site. We compare the simulations with the JINAbase data base of CEMP stars. A large proportion of stars labeled CEMP-s in that data base cannot be reproduced by s-process neutron density models, but instead agree better with elemental ratios characteristic for the intermediate neutron density. Our analysis involves elemental ratios of both first and second peak, and reveals that predictions of observational abundance ratios are severely limited by nuclear physics uncertainties, especially the (n, γ) rate of n-rich unstable species 2 - 6 masses off the valley of stability. This new type of analysis lends itself to a systematic nuclear physics impact study approach, and we will present results from three such studies that have revealed a handful of (n,γ) reactions that should be measured with the highest priority. We will briefly summarize the present state of simulations in 3D and 1D of the most likely astrophysical sites of the i process.

description: We present the results of our computation of the subregion complexity and also compare it with the entanglement entropy of a $2+1$--dimensional holographic superconductor which has a fully backreacted gravity dual with a stable ground sate. We follow the "complexity equals volume" or the CV conjecture. We find that there is only a single divergence for a strip entangling surface and the complexity grows linearly with the large strip width. During the normal phase the complexity increases with decreasing temperature, but during the superconducting phase it behaves differently depending on the order of phase transition. We also show that the universal term is finite and the phase transition occurs at the same critical temperature as obtained previously from the free energy computation of the system. In one case, we observe multivaluedness in the complexity in the form of an "S" curve.

description: High-fidelity physics simulations are powerful tools in the design and optimization of charged particle accelerators. However, the computational burden of these simulations often limits their use in practice for design optimization and experiment planning. It also precludes their use as online models tied directly to accelerator operation. We introduce an approach based on machine learning to create nonlinear, fast-executing surrogate models that are informed by a sparse sampling of the physics simulation. The models are 10^6 to 10^7 times more efficient to execute.We also demonstrate that these models can be reliably used with multi-objective optimization to obtain orders-of-magnitude speedup in initial design studies and experiment planning. For example, we required 132 times fewer simulation evaluations to obtain an equivalent solution for our main test case, and initial studies suggest that between 330 to 550 times fewer simulation evaluations are needed when using an iterative retraining process. Our approach enables new ways for high-fidelity particle accelerator simulations to be used, at comparatively little computational cost.

description: We revisit the well-studied problem of designing mechanisms for one-sided matching markets, where a set of $n$ agents needs to be matched to a set of $n$ heterogeneous items. Each agent $i$ has a value $v_{i,j}$ for each item $j$, and these values are private information that the agents may misreport if doing so leads to a preferred outcome. Ensuring that the agents have no incentive to misreport requires a careful design of the matching mechanism, and mechanisms proposed in the literature mitigate this issue by eliciting only the \emph{ordinal} preferences of the agents, i.e., their ranking of the items from most to least preferred. However, the efficiency guarantees of these mechanisms are based only on weak measures that are oblivious to the underlying values. In this paper we achieve stronger performance guarantees by introducing a mechanism that truthfully elicits the full \emph{cardinal} preferences of the agents, i.e., all of the $v_{i,j}$ values. We evaluate the performance of this mechanism using the much more demanding Nash bargaining solution as a benchmark, and we prove that our mechanism significantly outperforms all ordinal mechanisms (even non-truthful ones). To prove our approximation bounds, we also study the population monotonicity of the Nash bargaining solution in the context of matching markets, providing both upper and lower bounds which are of independent interest.

description: Pteronidea pseudonotabilis Enslin, 1916
A junior subjective synonym of Nematus (Pteronidea) bohemani Thomson, 1871, synonymy by Lindqvist (1954: 159).
Types. Pteronidea pseudonotabilis Enslin, 1916: 417–418. Syntypes ♀, “ Finnland ”. Syntype (?) ♀ “ Karislojo ” (MNCN_Ent 82352, http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.853779), 1 ♀ syntype, ZSM, “Karislojo”.
Discussion. Both, in MNCN and ZSM, specimens are to be found, which were apparently subsequently labeled as “´Type” or “ Paratype ”. The MNCN specimen was labeled by Dusmet. Enslin (1916: 417–418) described only females, and claimed that the larva and the males are unknown. Forsius (1921) noted that the type material was reared in 1909 and 1910, and that he also got males. But obviously, this was unknown to Enslin. Forsius (1921) also noted that he reared the species again in 1919, and described the larva and the male. Therefore, all males, and all specimens labeled “ex larva” in addition to the type label, are very likely not part of the type series. The ♀ specimen from ZSM is currently the only known type specimen with Enslin’s identification label. Perhaps more female syntypes may be found in RFT. A lectotype designation should be made in the course of the revision of this difficult group.

description: We demonstrate that the multiple gluon emission phase space in the dipole cascade model has a strong linear correlation with the number of gluons emitted. The number of gluons per unit available phase space at a certain resolution scale is found to be remarkably independent of the cms energy and global event properties like thrust, and even changes in the ordering variable or resolution scale. We show that the distribution of sizes of gluon-gluon dipoles in a parton cascade has stability properties which are sufficient to account for those of the phase space variable. We observe that certain more abstract entities, defined in the context of hadronisation and related to the gluon emission phase space, share those properties of colour dipoles and name them Generalised Dipoles. We also present an analytical model to qualitatively describe our findings.

Short paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.5194/agile-giss-2-25-2021. Short paper abstract: In Earth System Sciences, a data-driven research domain, several communities discuss the importance, guidance and implementation of making research data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. To foster these principles, in particular to support reusability, users need easy-to-use user interfaces with meaningful visualizations for detailed metainformation, e.g. on dataset’s origin and quality. However, visualization tools to facilitate the evaluation of fitness for use of ESS research data on domainspecific metainformation, do hardly exist. We provide a Geo-dashboard concept for user-friendly interactive and linked visualizations of provenance and quality information using standardized geospatial metadata. A provenance graph visualization serves as overview and entry point for further evaluations. Quality information is essential to evaluate the fitness for use of data. Therefore, we developed quality visualizations on several levels of detail to foster evaluation, e.g. by enabling users to choose and classify quality parameters based on their use-case-specific needs.

description: I argue that structural racism offers a unique explanation of durable racial inequality. However, the lack of consensus over the meaning of structural racism makes it difficult to theorize its explanatory power. To overcome this challenge, I develop an account of structural racism in terms of racially oppressive social structures. Structural racism explains durable racial inequality insofar as it motivates agents who benefit from relations of race-based advantage/disadvantage to act in ways that preserve those advantages. This motivational effect of structural racism ensures the support of enough advantaged agents to maintain racial inequality. I develop this explanatory claim with reference to a recent sociological case study of a U.S. high school in which white parents support social practices that reinforce racial disparities in students' educational attainments. Given its explanatory power, structural racism is key for developing a comprehensive analysis of the resilience of racial inequality, and for devising effective strategies to solve this social problem.

description: The phenomenon in psycholinguistics known as structural priming happens, during language comprehension, when a prime sentence facilitates the processing speed of a target sentence, when both bear the same syntactic structure. In the present study, two specific passive constructions were investigated, the agentive by-phrase and the temporal by-phrase, to evaluate whether these structures primes each other or whether they prime themselves. On-line sentence processing measured by eye-tracking data in the form of duration of fixations within the AOIs (areas of interest) as well as fixation regressions to those AOIs corresponding to the prepositional by-phrases, the NP (det N), and the VP (aux V) respectively. The study yielded significant findings for priming of agentive targets with agentive primes and a failure to find priming in all other combinations of agentive and temporal prime and target conditions. The implications of these findings for an understanding of the mental representation of syntax of these constructions are discussed.

description: The development of more sustainable remediation techniques has been receiving greater attention, as an alternative to soil excavation plan in urban gardens. An in situ phytoextraction experiment with buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) was performed with a 5 mmol kg−1 citric acid (CA) application. Joint experiments under laboratory conditions were conducted using various cultivars of F. esculentum in two soils with a Pb contamination of either geogenic or anthropogenic origin and various chelate concentrations. Results show that a minimum dose of 50 mmol kg−1 of CA is required to lower soil pH and raise the concentration of mobile Pb–CaCl2 for both soils. Consequently, Pb shoot uptake is increased from 6.3 to 8.9 times depending on soil type. Phytoextraction efficiency is found to be 1.3 to 2.0 times higher in the anthropogenic contaminated soil than in the soil with geogenic Pb. A scale effect has also been identified since Pb root accumulation under laboratory conditions was 2.4 times higher than in the field experiment. Despite an increase in the Pb extraction rate with CA, buckwheat appears to lack the efficiency needed to remove Pb in moderately contaminated soils. The calculated remediation period would last 166 years to remove the mobile Pb fraction.
The role of water management in tailings dam incidents

description: This paper presents a review of tailings dam incidents, and examines the role water management on the causes and consequences of these incidents. The incident review includes data compiled by the US Society on Dams, International Commission on Large Dams, the United Nations Environmental Programme, and other available sources. The incident data (from 1900 through 2014) was evaluated and classified for dam characteristics, operating conditions, incident cause, and incident effects. The number and type of incidents (ranging from a minor release with subsequent repair and reuse to a dam breach and tailings release), are shown as functions of history, dam height, and incident cause. The results demonstrate that both ponded and interstitial water are contributing factors in the causes and consequences of these incidents. Elimination of future tailings dam incidents would be aided by managing ponded water in the tailings impoundment so that the probabilities for overtopping the dam, seepage and piping, and dam slope instability are reduced. In addition, transition of the tailings from a saturated deposit with a resulting high potential for flow to an unsaturated deposit with no potential for flow would reduce the likelihood of downstream consequences from a tailings dam incident.

description: Sowohl zur Vorausberechnung, als auch zur Analyse der optischen bzw. elektronischen Eigenschaften der Halbleiter ist es von besonderer Bedeutung, deren komplexe Optische Funktion (OF) im Spektralbereich der Fundamentalabsorption in ihrer funktionalen Abhängigkeit von der Photonenenergie modellartig darzustellen. Liegen räumliche Inhomogenitäten vor bzw. variiert die Zusammensetzung des Materials, so muß die Modelldarstellung für jeden Individualparameter der OF eine entsprechende analytische Funktion enthalten. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird diese Modelldarstellung für den konkreten Fall des Ge(1-x)Si(x) Mischkristallsystems auf der Basis der quantenmechanischen Absorptionsprozesse entwickelt. Dabei werden sieben relevante Interbandübergänge berücksichtigt, die je spezifische Spektralanteile liefern und mit dem jeweiligen van-Hove-Typ der Singularität der kombinierten Zustandsdichte bzw. ihrem spektralen Verlauf in der Nähe der betreffenden kritischen Übergangsenergie korrespondieren. Der Spektralbereich umfaßt das relativ ausgedehnte Intervall von 0,5 eV bis 20 eV Photonenenergie und damit in geschlossener Form die gesamte sogen. Fundamentalabsorption der Ge-Si-Mischkristalle. Höherenergetische Anregungen (z.B. d-Band-Effekte) werden mittels einer additiven Suszeptibilitätskonstanten berücksichtigt. Das Ergebnis der Modellrechnung wird im Vergleich mit vorliegenden Messungen an reinem Germanium (x=0), reinem Silizium (x=1) sowie im gesamten Variationsbereich von x in seiner Leistungsfähigkeit, insbesondere in dem 1,7 eV bis 5,6 eV Photonenenergie umfassenden Spektralbereich vorgestellt und diskutiert, für den experimentelle Daten vorliegen. - Die entwickelten quantenmechanisch begründeten Spektralfunktionen für den Beitrag der verschiedenen Typen von Interbandanregungen zum Imaginärteil der komplexen DK sind grundsätzlich allgemein gültig und lassen sich deshalb auch zu einer analogen Parametrisierung der komplexen OF auch anderer Halbleiter bzw. Isolatoren verwenden.

description: We examine the effect of spatial curvature in the pre-big-bang inflationary model suggested by string theory. We study $O(α')$ corrections and we show that, independently of the initial curvature, they lead to a phase of exponential inflation. The amount of inflation in this phase is long enough to solve the horizon and flatness problems if the evolution starts deeply into the weak coupling regime. There is a region of the parameter space of the model where such a long inflationary phase at the string scale is consistent with COBE anisotropies, millisecond pulsar timing and nucleosynthesis constraints. We discuss implications for the spectrum of relic gravitational waves at the frequencies of LIGO and Virgo.
description: revised Sept. 97; the new version includes a discussion of the compatibility between a long inflationary phase at the string scale and the experimental bounds on the gravitational wave spectrum

description: There is a Turing computable embedding $Φ$ of directed graphs $A$ in undirected graphs. Moreover, there is a fixed tuple of formulas that give a uniform interpretation; i.e., for all directed graphs $A$, these formulas interpret $A$ in $Φ(G)$. It follows that A is Medvedev reducible to $Φ(A)$ uniformly; i.e., there is a fixed Turing operator that serves for all $A$. We observe that there is a graph $G$ that is not Medvedev reducible to any linear ordering. Hence, $G$ is not effectively interpreted in any linear ordering. Similarly, there is a graph that is not interpreted in any linear ordering using computable $Σ_2$ formulas. Any graph can be interpreted in a linear ordering using computable $Σ_3$ formulas. Friedman and Stanley gave a Turing computable embedding L of directed graphs in linear orderings. We show that there is no fixed tuple of $L_{ω_1,ω}$ formulas that, for all $G$, interpret the input graph $G$ in the output linear ordering $L(G)$. Harrison-Trainor and Montalbán have also shown this, by a quite different proof.

description: The establishment of image correspondence through robust image registration is critical to many clinical tasks such as image fusion, organ atlas creation, and tumor growth monitoring, and is a very challenging problem. Since the beginning of the recent deep learning renaissance, the medical imaging research community has developed deep learning based approaches and achieved the state-of-the-art in many applications, including image registration. The rapid adoption of deep learning for image registration applications over the past few years necessitates a comprehensive summary and outlook, which is the main scope of this survey. This requires placing a focus on the different research areas as well as highlighting challenges that practitioners face. This survey, therefore, outlines the evolution of deep learning based medical image registration in the context of both research challenges and relevant innovations in the past few years. Further, this survey highlights future research directions to show how this field may be possibly moved forward to the next level.

description: The correlation between inertial range velocity fluctuations and energy dissipation in fully developed turbulence is studied using high resolution direct numerical simulation. Runs with microscale Reynolds number up to ${\cal R}_λ \simeq 300$ have been performed in order to achieve the maximum extent of the scaling range compatible with a proper resolution of the dissipative scales. The bridge relations, a set of scaling relations which express quantitatively the statistical dependence of dissipation-scale velocity fluctuations on inertial-range ones, are verified. Corrections to the bridge relations due to the finite size of the scaling range are investigated.

description: The entropy of a black hole can differ from a quarter of the area of the horizon because of quantum corrections. The correction is related to the contribution to the Euclidean functional integral from quantum fluctuations but is not simply equal to the correction to the effective action. A (2+1) dimensional rotating black hole is explicitly considered.
