description: Cornerstones is an alternative interdisciplinary general education program for

high-achieving first-year students. It consists of four 6-credit courses taught in

sequence. Some of the hallmarks of the program are experiential learning (2-3

field trips in each course), information literacy and technology across the courses,

an emphasis on inquiry and research, collaboration by both students and faculty,

an introduction to competency-based education, and student agency in response

to critical issues (e.g, sustainability). In this session, we will discuss constructing

assignments that encourage reflective, integrative learning; incorporating

and assessing experiential learning; implementing our OSCAR "discovery of

scholarship" project; and developing faculty for interdisciplinary study. Through

this interactive discussion, participants in the session will explore how they might

adopt some of these practices in their own courses. In addition, participants will

have an opportunity to enhance the Cornerstones curriculum and pedagogy by

describing their own courses and practices. There will also be an opportunity to

ask about teaching in the Cornerstone program.

TEM Lamellae sample preparation

description: Analyses by transmission electron microscopy can only be performed on thin specimens transparent to the electron beam. This requires in most cases a sample preparation prior to the specimen observation. For polymers or biological samples microtomy is frequently used, but cannot be used for hard materials like metals or hard/soft composite materials. Here the preparation of TEM lamellae via FIB/SEM (Focused Ion Beam/Scanning Electron Microscopy) is the method of choice. The time consuming and difficult preparation technique is able to produce stunning results. This poster presents some of the work that was done at CF1 in 2018.

Subjects: interdisciplinary learning; critical thinking; creativity

description: Faculty will learn to use Form+Theme+Context (FTC)â„¢ as an interdisciplinary

approach that rebalances and integrates learning content for deeper student

engagement in critical thinking for diverse forms of literacy. As a visual organizer

that balances formal, thematic, and contextual considerations of any discipline,

the FTC Palette can be used to decode and encode any learning content, ranging

from a work of art, piece of writing, product design, or even a cultural institution

such as a museum. Faculty will be engaged in an interactive FTC demonstration to

interpret a famous work of art, collectively making discoveries informed by direct

visual experience. Immediately following the FTC demonstration, faculty (grouped

by different fields/colleges) will collaboratively utilize a generic FTC Palette as a

creative tool for specifically helping their students make stronger interdisciplinary

connections while advancing critical thinking skills within their home branch of

learning.

description: Supervised named entity recognition (NER) in the biomedical domain depends on large sets of annotated texts with the given named entities. The creation of such datasets can be time-consuming and expensive, while extraction of new entities requires additional annotation tasks and retraining the model. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a method for zero- and few-shot NER in the biomedical domain. The method is based on transforming the task of multi-class token classification into binary token classification and pre-training on a large amount of datasets and biomedical entities, which allow the model to learn semantic relations between the given and potentially novel named entity labels. We have achieved average F1 scores of 35.44% for zero-shot NER, 50.10% for one-shot NER, 69.94% for 10-shot NER, and 79.51% for 100-shot NER on 9 diverse evaluated biomedical entities with fine-tuned PubMedBERT-based model. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for recognizing new biomedical entities with no or limited number of examples, outperforming previous transformer-based methods, and being comparable to GPT3-based models using models with over 1000 times fewer parameters. We make models and developed code publicly available.

description: Technology is changing higher education, but the greatest value of a physical university will remain its face-to-face (naked) interaction between faculty and students. The most important benefits to using technology occur outside of the classroom. New technology can increase student preparation and engagement between classes and create more time for the in-class dialogue that makes the campus experience worth the extra money it will always cost to deliver. Students already use online content but need better ways to interact with material before every class. By using online quizzes and games, rethinking our assignments and course design, we can create more class time for the activities and interactions that most spark the critical thinking and change of mental models we seek.

description: Japanese popular culture can be comprehended as an ideological battleground where political notions are postulated and speculated on, including popular mecha anime. This paper focuses on the mecha science fiction of Takahashi Ryōsuke to think the relation between anime media and sense-making. I critically analyse Takahashi’s FLAG. In the series, the photojournalist Saeko Shirasu is assigned to a special forces’ unit, SDC (or “seedac”) that is tasked by the United Nations Forces to reclaim a UN flag. This flag attained symbolic value following its being photographed by Shirasu, which depicts civilians raising the flag in the war-torn Uddiyana, plunged into civil war following the explosion of sectarian religious differences among Buddhists and a native belief system. The flag became a symbol for peace but was stolen by the extremist “Gelut Sect” to disrupt peace accords. I take sense-making to be connected to the democratic political problem of orientation as critically disucssed by Hannah Richter. This paper both attempts to grasp how Takahashi uses anime to think the relation between media and sense-making and uses Takahashi’s anime to conceptualize the relation between politics, media, and sense-making. I read FLAG from the perspective of MOO, arguing that various media machines–from cameras to informational fragments–have the capacity to interrupt sense. In this way, what I call the “journalist-assemblage” constitutes what Bryant terms a “rogue object”. Rogue objects constitute escape vectors that can be followed to depart from oppressive gravities. This is a political matter of orientation. I use Bryant’s typology of gravities to make this textual point in Takahashi explicit, but also to make the meta-textual argument that anime can be utilized to disrupt given sense-making practices. Adjacent to this, I make an argument contra Grant Hamilton for the relevance of the critical and philosophical interpretation of texts.

description: The SEEBLOCKS.eu impact event took place on 10th April 2025 in Brussels and served as a platform for ICT experts to showcase how the 24-month project had successfully accelerated blockchain standardisation. This was achieved through dedicated financial support provided to European experts diligently working in the field, demonstrating how blockchain and DLT could serve society as relevant technology enablers.

Blockchain, as we have observed, proved to be a turning-point innovation, standing out as a novel horizontal IT revolution with a widespread impact across all industries. This disruptive technology, gaining traction and becoming mainstream, held the potential to bring lasting benefits to societies globally. To realise this potential, proper standardisation was crucial to reflect the needs of its global user base spanning all continents. Furthermore, the growth in blockchain usage led to a parallel increase in the demand for blockchain professionals, consequently driving up the need for blockchain skills. Addressing blockchain skills shortages and meeting both current and future demands for an exponentially growing blockchain workforce was therefore significant.

Through SEEBLOCKS.eu, 20 European experts were empowered to contribute to Blockchain/DLT standardisation efforts, share blockchain insights, and incorporate these findings into the European Rolling Plan for ICT Standardisation. SEEBLOCKS.eu also developed an online blockchain training course, intended as a sustainable resource for the broader DLT/Blockchain community for learning purposes, alongside a freely accessible Standards Visualisation Tool designed to foster education and capacity building in Blockchain/DLT standardisation.

The event's structure first explored the regulatory landscape influencing DLT & Blockchain activities, including the regulatory Acts that had come into force, such as the AI Act, Data Act, European Digital Identity (EUDI), electronic identification, authentication, and trust services (eIDAS), and the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW), among others. Following this, an overview of the technical contributions made by SEEBLOCKS.eu experts in bringing the European perspective to standardisation efforts was presented.

The event then shifted its focus to providing a platform for the twenty experts to articulate the impact of the funding they received, highlighting the lasting results achieved and outlining the necessary next steps to ensure the longevity of this investment. This was complemented by a demonstration showcasing the utility of the Blockchain/DLT Training Course. The day concluded with the presentation of SEEBLOCKS.eu prizes to those exceptional experts who had made significant contributions in their Blockchain/DLT endeavors.

description: I am proposing a special session for MLA 2025 recognizing the work of the artist Billy Martin. He is a long-time New Orleans resident who has published a great deal of speculative fiction (focusing mostly on horror) set in and around New Orleans under the name Poppy Z. Brite. His work is unabashedly Queer-oriented and most of his protagonists are gay men. His vampire novel "Lost Souls," in cult circles, rivaled the appeal of Anne Rice's "Interview" novels (in "Lost Souls," the vampires are explicitly Queer). His novel "Exquisite Corpse," loosely based on the Jeffrey Dahmer murders, was reviled and even banned in some places. Martin's "Rickey and G-Man" series of novels and short stories/novellas focused on the fine dining and restaurant scene from the perspective of a long-term male gay chef couple in New Orleans with a horror slant. To some extent, these latter novels were based on the experience of Martin's ex-husband, who used to run the French Quarter restaurant "The Green Goddess" and now runs the kitchen in "The House of Blues."

For quite a while Martin stepped away from writing and turned to visual art. However, he is now writing again, including locking down a publisher for his critical examination of religion in Stephen King's works and also returning to fiction and poetry writing. I've read one of his new short stories and one of his new poems and they are REALLY good!

Martin openly identifies as Trans and gay; he is now married to a wonderful New Orleans photographer named Grey who has supported Martin in his artistic journey.

In short, I'd like to propose a session at MLA recognizing Martin's work in establishing NOLA as a setting within the speculative literature genre and in literature in general, in some ways even more so than other local authors like Anne Rice and John Kennedy O'Toole. One of the fields in which I work is non-canonical literature and I think it's a shame that no one has even mentioned Martin in any of the MLA CFPs.

description: Hydrophobic coatings are of utmost importance for many applications of paper-based materials. However, to date, most coating methods demand vast amounts of chemicals and solvents. Frequently, fossil-based coating materials are being used and multiple derivatization reactions are often required to obtain desired performances. In this work, we present a solvent-free paper-coating process, where olive oil as the main biogenic component is being used to obtain a hydrophobic barrier on paper. UV-induced thiol-ene photocrosslinking of olive oil was pursued in a solvent-free state at a wavelength of 254 nm without addition of photoinitiator. Optimum reaction conditions were determined in advance using oleic acid as a model compound. Paper coatings based on olive oil crosslinked by thiol-ene reaction reach water contact angles of up to 120°. By means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, a successful reaction and the formation of a polymer network within the coating can be proven. These results show that clickchemistry strategies can be used to achieve hydrophobic polymeric paper coatings while keeping the amount of non-biobased chemicals and reaction steps at a minimum.

description: Consumers in today's markets enjoy high value, quick deliveries and low prices. However, at which costs are this value realised? This paper challenges the classical view on business performance by enforcing data sharing along supply chains to inform the end customer on the sustainability of their purchase. Our research question is: How can data sharing along supply chains trigger ethical consumer behaviour? We conduct two workshops with industry, policy-makers, and academic participants and capture the system dynamics of their reflection. We show the influence of data sharing to advance ethical purchasing choices and shifts towards sustainability goals.

Towards univalent reference types
Creators: name: Sterling, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2024

description: We develop a denotational semantics for general reference types in an impredicative version of guarded homotopy type theory, an adaptation of synthetic guarded domain theory to Voevodsky's univalent foundations. We observe for the first time the profound impact of univalence on the denotational semantics of mutable state. Univalence automatically ensures that all computations are invariant under symmetries of the heap -- a bountiful source of program equivalences. In particular, even the most simplistic univalent model enjoys many new equations that do not hold when the same constructions are carried out in the universes of traditional set-level (extensional) type theory.

description: In this work we study particular TQFTs in three dimensions, known as Symmetry Topological Field Theories (or SymTFTs), to identify line defects of two-dimensional CFTs arising from the compactification of 6d $(2,0)$ SCFTs on 4-manifolds $M_4$. The mapping class group of $M_4$ and the automorphism group of the SymTFT switch between different absolute 2d theories or global variants. Using the combined symmetries, we realize the topological defects in these global variants. Our main example is $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$. For $N$ M5-branes the corresponding 2d theory inherits $\mathbb{Z}_N$ $0$-form symmetries from the SymTFT. We reproduce the orbifold groupoid for theories with $\mathbb{Z}_N$ $0$-form symmetries and realize the duality defects at fixed points of the coupling constant under elements of the mapping class group. We also study other Hirzebruch surfaces, del Pezzo surfaces, as well as the connected sum of $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$. We find a rich network of global variants connected via automorphisms and realize more interesting topological defects. Finally, we derive the SymTFT on more general 4-manifolds and provide two examples.

Correcting Road Image Annotations

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2024

description: Digitisation provides a promising avenue to meet new socio-economic demands in infrastructure delivery. The current state of practice suggests that human annotators still need to participate substantially in data preparation for digitising infrastructure, such as annotating real-life domain-specific visual datasets for road maintenance. Research in the past focuses on predicting better labels with less human effort, leaving a gap in not maximizing the gains from the subsequent human corrections of pseudo-labels to ground truths. The gap highlights the opportunities for a solution to mimic human corrections by “correcting like instances alike”. We propose an extension to Mask R-CNN to tackle this gap. Our auto-correction method harvests learnings from past corrections and automates corrections in forthcoming images. The method first gauges the corrections made between the pseudo-labels and the final ground truth. The method then compares the feature vectors and attribute data of a new batch of unlabelled images against past corrections. When the deep learning model predicts similarly wrong features, the method will mimic human corrections in the past and prompt additions, deletions or category changes. The method concludes with post-processing to eliminate unwanted predictions. This similarity-based approach improves the precision of the testing batch by 15-70% and reduces the number of mouse clicks by approximately 20%. The solution therefore partially automates the human review after predicting pseudo-labels by similarity-based corrections.

description: A helium‐enabled Niton X‐ray analyser (HHpXRF) study of 296 lava stepping stones from ancient Pompeii showed that their surfaces were contaminated with superficial deposits of Zn and Pb. Recent research has shown that concentrations of these elements are highest in urban areas, where they were attributed to tyre dust and leaded petrol, respectively. The distribution of these elements on the stepping stones is represented on maps of the site. Zn pollution is most abundant in areas visited by tourists and is attributed mostly to wear from their rubber‐soled footwear. Pb pollution is attributed to the movement of onsite vehicles using leaded petrol.
Jacobean Presentism and the Bite of the Right in Thatcher’s England.

subject: English literature--Early modern
subject: Adaptations

description: Barker’s 1986 adaptation of Women Beware Women stands out as a precise example of the practical application of presentism. For Barker, Jacobean tragedy offered a pithy analogy between the rankness inherent in seventeenth-century England and a despair that spoke to the futureless youth of Thatcher’s Britain. However, Barker proposed an alternative framework for the negotiation of value in his era through his emphasis on the intangible and productive authority of art, which is found at the edges of a crumbling social order, in Thatcher’s reviled “purposeless anarchy.” In his adaptation of Women Beware Women, Barker took the performative principles inherent in presentism and applied them to the creation of a literary text in a manner that designed to alienate the audience – not only from the theatrical spectacle, but from their existence in the present. In doing so, Middleton’s tragedy was given contemporary political meaning by becoming an artistic representation of political dissent. By examining the way in which the sexual use of the female body can be reclaimed as empowerment through the legitimizing articulation of desire, the play relocated Florence’s political future in the chaos that pushes at the edge of cultural politics and demanded recognition for the voices of the oppressed.

description: Drought induced water stress, which may cause runaway cavitation of xylem elements, puts many forests at risk for severe mortality.  This risk can be estimated through cavitation vulnerability curves that describe the decline of hydraulic conductance (K) as xylem water tension increases. These sigmoidal curves provide water stress thresholds (P50) representing the tipping point between hydraulic resilience and severe cavitation, which can be compared with in-situ xylem water tensions data to determine hydraulic safety margins.

Species’ cavitation vulnerability can vary across age and climate, as xylem elements change during development of new growth rings and in response to variable seasonal moisture. However, studies considering both age and climate effects on vulnerability are rare.

We present here empirical evidence to suggest that for isohydric species, trends in cavitation vulnerability across age may be determined by climate.

description: Both acoustics and electromagnetism represent measurable fields in terms of dynamical potential fields. Electromagnetic force-fields form a spacetime bivector that is represented by a dynamical energy-momentum 4-vector potential field. Acoustic pressure and velocity fields form an energy-momentum density 4-vector field that is represented by a dynamical action scalar potential field. Surprisingly, standard field theory analyses of spin angular momentum based on these traditional potential representations contradict recent experiments, which motivates a careful reassessment of both theories. We analyze extensions of both theories that use the full geometric structure of spacetime to respect essential symmetries enforced by vacuum wave propagation. The resulting extensions are geometrically complete and phase-invariant (i.e., dual-symmetric) formulations that span all five grades of spacetime, with dynamical potentials and measurable fields spanning complementary grades that are related by a spacetime vector derivative (i.e., the quantum Dirac operator). These complete representations correct the equations of motion, energy-momentum tensors, forces experienced by probes, Lagrangian densities, and allowed gauge freedoms, while making manifest the deep structural connections to relativistic quantum field theories. Finally, we discuss the implications of these corrections to experimental tests.

description: Landing one academic position in ecology is hard. Landing two positions in the same geographic area and scientific discipline is really hard. Landing two positions that make each partner happy is really, really hard.  Do we dual-career ecologists have a pipe dream or can we overcome the two body problem? This ignite talk will share examples of how dual-career ecologists have succeeded.  While everybody does it differently, patience, perseverance, and time have all played important roles in helping these couples reach professional and personal satisfaction.

description: Slow employment growth after the "Great Recession" of 2008 has been blamed

by employers on the mismatch between their needs and the skills held by job

applicants. This has led to fears that recent college graduates might become a

"lost generation" unable to advance in the current economic climate. Recent years

have seen the convergence of two demographic trends. First has been a shift in the

nationâ€™s economy from dependence on the conversion of raw materials to goods

to a knowledge age dependent on the conversion of data to valuable information.

Second has been the arrival of the "millennial" generation in higher education and

the workplace. Employers in todayâ€™s economic climate prefer adaptable employees

with thinking, communication, innovation, and process skills over those with

focused job-based training. However, todayâ€™s college students want explicit rules

to govern their decisions and expect grades based on work quantity instead of

quality. Three Mason faculty and staff with experience and research expertise in

student learning, generational characteristics, and career services will discuss

how faculty can help students develop the skills they will need in the workplace.

description: Il progetto OTTERS - Citizen Science per la tutela delle acque - ha lo scopo di facilitare l'adozione di standard tecnici, legali ed etici per i protocolli e i metodi di Citizen Science (CS) in materia di acque dolci e marine in Europa (https://otters-eu.aua.am). Ha inoltre l'obiettivo di esaminare l'efficacia della CS nella trasformazione della società verso una gestione sostenibile degli ecosistemi acquatici. Per raggiungere tali fini l'obiettivo del Work Package 2 del progetto è la pubblicazione di tre white paper, i cui argomenti sono: l'implementazione della Direttiva quadro sull'acqua (WFD) nei progetti di CS; lo sviluppo di progetti di CS nel monitoraggio del corridoio fluviale, in particolare sulla qualità della vegetazione ripariale e sulla biodiversità; e un white paper sull'ambiente marino e costiero. L'analisi della letteratura ha finora delineato il seguente quadro: la WFD è spesso al centro della dissertazione; molti studiosi si sono dichiarati a sostegno dell'implementazione della WFD, mentre altri considerano l'obiettivo del 2027 come non più realizzabile e propongono invece un obiettivo continuativo che vada oltre tale data. Inoltre, sempre più progetti che coinvolgono direttamente le Agenzie Ambientali, il che è potenzialmente utile poiché potrebbe fornire un monitoraggio più ampio e dettagliato, visto anche che l’affidabilità dei dati della CS è stata riconosciuta. Infine, vi è un buon numero di studi che stanno esaminando i possibili risultati politici dei progetti di CS. Dal punto di vista scientifico, i dati più utilizzati nel monitoraggio sono quelli dei macrobenthos, seguiti dalle concentrazioni di nitrati e fosfati e dalla presenza di pesci (soprattutto se sono coinvolti pescatori), il che può essere spiegato dall'accessibilità degli strumenti per raccogliere campioni e analizzarli. D'altra parte, c'è una carenza di progetti legati alla vegetazione ripariale e all'Escherichia coli, il che può essere spiegato dalla difficoltà nel raggiungere punti di osservazione utili per osservare la vegetazione a causa della morfologia del paesaggio, e dalla necessità di un laboratorio per rilevare l'E.coli. Il progetto OTTERS spera di contribuire alle discussioni sulla scalabilità e il miglioramento dell'uso della CS nei settori delle acque dolci e marine mediante la conduzione di revisioni, valutazioni e discussioni sull'efficacia della CS per la ricerca e l'innovazione, nonché sulla consapevolezza dei cittadini e la cultura ambientale correlata.

description: Does inverse scaling only occur as a function of model size, or can it also occur over the course of training? We carry out an exploratory study investigating whether the performance of language models on specific tasks can decrease (while general performance remains high) during training on the language modeling task. We find 8 tasks on which Pythia 12B (Biderman et al., 2023) shows decreased performance over the course of training. Five of these tasks (TruthfulQA-MC1, TruthfulQA-MC2, Hindsight Neglect, Memo Trap, and Pattern Match Suppression) additionally show a consistent relationship whereby larger language models show a greater decrease in performance the more they are trained, despite showing standard (positive) scaling overall. This highlights the importance of testing performance at all relevant benchmarks any time models are trained on additional data, even if their overall performance improves

description: Ordinary differential equation (ODE) is widely used in modeling biological and physical processes in science. In this article, we propose a new reproducing kernel-based approach for estimation and inference of ODE given noisy observations. We do not assume the functional forms in ODE to be known, or restrict them to be linear or additive, and we allow pairwise interactions. We perform sparse estimation to select individual functionals, and construct confidence intervals for the estimated signal trajectories. We establish the estimation optimality and selection consistency of kernel ODE under both the low-dimensional and high-dimensional settings, where the number of unknown functionals can be smaller or larger than the sample size. Our proposal builds upon the smoothing spline analysis of variance (SS-ANOVA) framework, but tackles several important problems that are not yet fully addressed, and thus extends the scope of existing SS-ANOVA as well. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method through numerous ODE examples.
