description: The communication range of wireless networks can be greatly improved by using distributed beamforming from a set of independent radio nodes. One of the key challenges in establishing a beamformed communication link from separate radios is achieving carrier frequency and sample timing synchronization. This paper describes an implementation that addresses both carrier frequency and sample timing synchronization simultaneously using RF signaling between designated master and slave nodes. By using a pilot signal transmitted by the master node, each slave estimates and tracks the frequency and timing offset and digitally compensates for them. A real-time implementation of the proposed system was developed in GNU Radio and tested with Ettus USRP N210 software defined radios. The measurements show that the distributed array can reach a residual frequency error of 5 Hz and a residual timing offset of 1/16 the sample duration for 70 percent of the time. This performance enables distributed beamforming for range extension applications.

description: The magnetic phase diagram, magnetoelastic coupling, and uniaxial pressure effects of centrosymmetric magnetic skyrmion-hosting GdRu$_2$Si$_2$ are investigated by means of high-resolution capacitance dilatometry in fields up to 15\,T supported by specific heat and magnetisation studies. In addition to the previously reported phases in the $H$-$T$ phase diagram, we observe a third antiferromagnetic phase in zero magnetic field. We present the magnetic phase diagram and find two unreported phases, one of which features a comparably giant uniaxial pressure dependence. Our dilatometric measurements show magnetoelastic effects associated with the various magnetic ordering phenomena. We determine the uniaxial pressure dependencies of the various phases, in particular of the skyrmion lattice phase which is enhanced at higher fields and temperatures and also widens at a rate of 0.07~T/GPa when uniaxial pressure is applied along the $c$ axis. The relevance of fluctuations is further highlighted by the presence of tricritical point indicated by our thermodynamic data at the phase boundary separating two double-\textit{Q} magnetic configurations between which the skyrmion pocket phase evolves upon further cooling.

A receding torus model for the Iwasawa-Taniguchi effect for Compton-thick AGN

description: Recently, Boorman et al. (2018) reported on the discovery of the Iwasawa-Taniguchi (I-T) effect (a.k.a. X-ray Baldwin effect) for Compton-thick AGN. They measured a decrease of the 6.4 keV iron line equivalent width with the 12mu luminosity, assumed as a proxy for the intrinsic X-ray luminosity, which in Compton-thick AGN is not directly observable. One of the most popular explanations of the classic I-T effect is the so-called receding torus model, i.e. the decrease of the covering factor of the molecular `torus' with X-ray luminosity. In this paper we show that an I-T effect for Compton-thick AGN is indeed expected in the receding torus model, assuming that the torus is funnelling the primary X-ray luminosity which is then scattered in a `hot mirror'. We found that the observed relation is well reproduced provided that the typical column density of the `hot mirror' is about 7.5x10^{22} cm^{-2}.

description: This paper characterizes several ways of transferring knowledge via lyric poetry. It is argued that conveying information via schemata is a prevalent mode of that kind. But there are also others like employing a concise use of language or pointing at other texts using intertextual references. Besides, many poetry books establish some sort of a lyric sequence to further elaborate a certain topic. As information in lyric poetry is not only schematized, but also sketchy, from a receptionist point of view it may also be highlighted that recipients can make use of it as some kind of a template that enables them to gain new insights related to their own living environment. The important role of schemata as well as the other kinds of knowledge transfer specified in this paper are exemplified with reference to the contemporary poetry of ageing and with a special focus on several poems by Harald Hartung. As ageing is a process that becomes more and more important to western societies due to demographic development, the poetry of ageing and of old age in particular may serve as a tool for gaining knowledge and especially knowledge-what-it-is-like regarding that topic. This adds even more authority to the question of how knowledge is transferred via literature and lyric poetry in particular.
Mass Outflow from the X-ray Binary X2127+119 in M15

description: The bright X-ray binary X2127+119 in the core of the globular cluster M15 has long been thought to be in an unusual evolutionary state, in which the binary is embedded in a common envelope. Support for this idea comes from X2127+119's absorption lines, which are blue shifted at all orbital phases, indicating the existence of outflows from the system. A common-envelope scenario implies that the absorption lines should exhibit maximum blue shift near mid-eclipse (binary phase 0.0). We have re-analysed INT spectra of X2127+119 obtained in 1986, 1987 and 1988 using the latest orbital ephemeris (substantially different from that used in the original analysis), and find that the orbital phase at which the absorption lines show a maximum blue shift is not 0.0, but rather 0.25 -- 0.3. These results indicate that a common-envelope scenario for X2127+119 may not work. In addition, from spectrograms of the He II 4686 line, we report the first tentative detection of X2127+119's companion star.

description: Emojis are being frequently used in todays digital world to express from simple to complex thoughts more than ever before. Hence, they are also being used in sentiment analysis and targeted marketing campaigns. In this work, we performed sentiment analysis of Tweets as well as on emoji dataset from the Kaggle. Since tweets are sentences we have used Universal Sentence Encoder (USE) and Sentence Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (SBERT) end-to-end sentence embedding models to generate the embeddings which are used to train the Standard fully connected Neural Networks (NN), and LSTM NN models. We observe the text classification accuracy was almost the same for both the models around 98 percent. On the contrary, when the validation set was built using emojis that were not present in the training set then the accuracy of both the models reduced drastically to 70 percent. In addition, the models were also trained using the distributed training approach instead of a traditional singlethreaded model for better scalability. Using the distributed training approach, we were able to reduce the run-time by roughly 15% without compromising on accuracy. Finally, as part of explainable AI the Shap algorithm was used to explain the model behaviour and check for model biases for the given feature set.

The voltage-current characteristics show excellent scalability according to the vortex-glass model with a static critical exponent ν of around 1.35 and a temperature-dependent dynamic exponent z increasing from 7.8 to 9.0 for the investigated temperature range. The large and non-constant z values are discussed in the frame of 3D vortex glass, thermally activated flux motion, and inhomogeneity broadening.

description: We investigate, in the framework of (2+1) dimensional gravity, stationary, rotationally symmetric gravitational sources of the perfect fluid type, embedded in a space of arbitrary cosmological constant. We show that the matching conditions between the interior and exterior geometries imply restrictions on the physical parameters of the solutions. In particular, imposing finite sources and absence of closed timelike curves privileges negative values of the cosmological constant, yielding exterior vacuum geometries of rotating black hole type. In the special case of static sources, we prove the complete integrability of the field equations and show that the sources' masses are bounded from above and, for vanishing cosmological constant, generally equal to one. We also discuss and illustrate the stationary configurations by explicitly solving the field equations for constant mass--energy densities. If the pressure vanishes, we recover as interior geometries Godel like metrics defined on causally well behaved domains, but with unphysical values of the mass to angular momentum ratio. The introduction of pressure in the sources cures the latter problem and leads to physically more relevant models.

"A Freedom Transcending Mere Materiality": Catch-22, Temporality, Trauma, and Responsibility
Creators: name: Edwards, Ian
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2008

description: This article explores the relationship between temporality, trauma and responsibility in the novel Catch-22. Borrowing from psychoanalytic theories of the drive, I develop a reading of the temporality of trauma in general, and as related to the drives. This involves a delayed-reaction, non-linear articulation of the trauma that is intimately linked in Catch-22 to the ways in which Yossarian is exposed to threats to his bodily integrity. In response to an exposure of the finitude of his bodily subjectivity, an initially passive attitude is engendered in Yossarian in response to his traumatic "primal scene," the death of Snowden. This article is concerned with demonstrating how Yossarian ultimately surpasses this sense of passivity and finitude in order to take responsibility for his own trauma and the fantasies surrounding it. Whilst the drives and trauma might be seen as ex-trinsic factors that serve to limit or curtail subjective agency, with a more nuanced understanding of the drives, trauma, and finitude itself, we can see in Catch-22 an example of the paradoxical freedom that is manifested in Yossarian in relation to his symptom. The manifest sense of responsibility that Yossarian owns to is, however, matched by a latent responsibility that is not broached in the text. The final part of this article shows how, in comparison with Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, Catch-22 elides further responsibilities that are left latent within the text. As such, the comparison between the two texts dramatises the contradictions and ambivalences involved in the act of representing war.

description: Quantum entanglement is a resource in quantum metrology that can be distributed to two orthogonal physical quantities for the enhancement of their joint measurement sensitivity, as demonstrated in quantum dense metrology. On the other hand, we can also devote all the quantum resource to phase measurement only for optimum measurement sensitivity. Here, we experimentally implement a dual-beam scheme in an SU(1,1) interferometer for the optimum phase measurement sensitivity. We demonstrate a 3.9-dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio over the optimum classical method and this is 3-dB better than the traditional single-beam scheme. Furthermore, such a scheme also realizes a quantum optical tap of quantum entangled fields and has the full advantages of an SU(1,1) interferometer for practical applications in quantum metrology and quantum information.

description: The short-time evolution of a growing interface is studied analytically and numerically for the Kadar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. The scaling behavior of response and correlation functions is reminiscent of the ``initial slip'' behavior found in purely dissipative critical relaxation (model A). Unlike model A the initial slip exponent for the KPZ equation can be expressed by the dynamical exponent z. In 2+1 dimensions z is estimated from the short-time evolution of the correlation function for ballistic deposition and for the RSOS model.

The Sixties Are Dead: Long Live Their Legacy: The Politics and Poetics of Counterculture
Creators: name: Tsimpouki, Theodora
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2008

description: The sixties was an era of great social and cultural upheaval. It was a period of mass mobilization that attempted to redefine "America" by addressing issues of racial exclusion, sexual subordination and nationalism. Opposing a predominantly materialist interpretation of the American dream and its master narrative of American exceptionalism, the 1960s generation sought a number of ways to convey the Zeitgeist of the period. Rock music, radical activism, consciousness-raising groups, anti-disciplinary politics as well as alternative lifestyles that adopted willed poverty, communal living, drug experimentation and non-Western, non-Christian practices and beliefs created a powerful yet loosely organized cultural movement, known as the counterculture of the 1960s. While it is difficult to define a phenomenon which exhibited a variety of co-existing, and often conflicting, cultural practices, my focus in this paper is on the adversarial tendency of the sixties as it manifested itself in representative literary examples. I examine the fictional production of and about the sixties written during that turbulent period and the decades that succeeded it. Looking back in time and from the spatial (and cultural) distance of Europe, I argue that, while remaining critical with itself, countercultural fiction did not only run against the social mainstream of the day, it aimed a major blow at the discourse of American exceptionalism.

description: Cement-stabilized soil retaining wall structures are becoming increasingly popular for high-speed railway lines. However, the widely used Portland cement is heavily associated with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Additionally, the rising cost and scarcity of sand traditionally used as fill material is becoming a concern. Besides, the geomechanical performances of the cement-stabilized soil retaining walls using three-dimensional (3-D) finite element method (FEM) numerical analysis have seldom been investigated. To address these issues, this study investigates the geomechanical performances of geocell-reinforced soil (GRS) backfilled with magnesia-based cement-stabilized marine fill using the nonlinear stress-strain relationship and 3-D FEM models as an alternative to the traditional earth GRS walls. The study finds satisfactory results regarding stability, deformation, and settlement. Only nominal facing reinforcements may be required as the magnesia cement mechanically stabilizes the fill. Moreover, the strength and stiffness properties improve with increased curing duration. The safety factors and observed displacements were within acceptable limits. However, the critical region for the cement-stabilized marine fill GRS wall showing a rupture zone was identified at the toe of the structure. Finally, the study developed a load-displacement model for settlement predictions and uncertainty interpretations, and explained the strength development and deformation mechanisms. The results suggest that cement-stabilized soil retaining walls using magnesia-based cement could be a viable alternative to traditional earth GRS walls, while mitigating environmental concerns and reducing costs.
Writing a "War" Novel: Self-referentiality and Post-national Critique in Toni Morrison's Paradise
Creators: name: Nicol, Kathryn
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2008

description: This essay argues for the centrality of the theme of war in Toni Morrison's 1997 novel Paradise, and analyses the treatment of this theme in relation to Morrison's previous fiction and the work of other contemporary African-American writers. In particular, I argue that Morrison's fiction contests the narration of war as a break in the continuity of the nation, and as a strategic opportunity to represent the nation to itself—a representation open to recontainment within an ongoing narrative of national progress. This reading of war as a theme in Paradise is developed through an analysis of Rey Chow's recent work on war and "self-referentiality" in the post-Cold War era, in which the time and space of war are no longer in opposition to the time and space of the nation, but are coterminous with the globalized and fragmented nation of the contemporary era. I further argue that the novel's analysis of the production of authority and the performance of power can be understood in terms of the construction of a visual order of knowledge characteristic of the "world as picture" that Martin Heidegger identifies as key to the metaphysics of the modern age, and that Chow locates in the doctrine of U.S. exceptionalism in the Cold War era and after. This essay then develops the analysis of exceptionalist discourse applied to the novel in criticism thus far, to argue that the novel explores the use of exceptionalist discourse not only in the nation at large, but particularly in the nation at war. I therefore argue that the novel can usefully be understood as "post-national" in the critical sense of the term, in that the novel both resists the totality of a single national narrative, and the possibility of the "post-war" nation.

Bridging Poetic and Cold War Divides in Lyn Hejinian's Oxota and Vikram Seth's The Golden Gate
Creators: name: Edmond, Jacob
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2008

description: Lyn Hejinian's Oxota: A Short Russian Novel (1991) and Vikram Seth's The Golden Gate (1986) are works from two very different poetic camps- Language poetry and New Formalism—that both draw on Russia's national poet Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse Eugene Onegin (1833) for inspiration and so offer a unique opportunity for reconsidering poetic and Cold War divides in U.S. poetry. These two poems can be read as attempts to transcend the Cold War binaries of the 1980s at both formal and thematic levels. Each poem employs its connection with Eugene Onegin, including the genre-crossing elements of that work, to create a symbolic space in which divides are bridged between East and West. The poetics of boundary crossing in both works thus belies the apparently radical formal difference between the two and demonstrates the multiple ways in which the crises and euphoria of the late Cold War period have promoted artistic expression and experimentation as part of an attempt to interpret the conflict and flux that marked the last decades of the previous century. At the same time, my comparison of Oxota and The Golden Gate demonstrates the need for criticism to bridge the conflicts in contemporary U.S. poetry and so to parallel the formal, thematic, political, and geographic boundary crossing of these two novels in verse.

description: In this paper, we study the accuracy of values aggregated over classes predicted by a classification algorithm. The problem is that the resulting aggregates (e.g., sums of a variable) are known to be biased. The bias can be large even for highly accurate classification algorithms, in particular when dealing with class-imbalanced data. To correct this bias, the algorithm's classification error rates have to be estimated. In this estimation, two issues arise when applying existing bias correction methods. First, inaccuracies in estimating classification error rates have to be taken into account. Second, impermissible estimates, such as a negative estimate for a positive value, have to be dismissed. We show that both issues are relevant in applications where the true labels are known only for a small set of data points. We propose a novel bias correction method using Bayesian inference. The novelty of our method is that it imposes constraints on the model parameters. We show that our method solves the problem of biased classification-based aggregates as well as the two issues above, in the general setting of multi-class classification. In the empirical evaluation, using a binary classifier on a real-world dataset of company tax returns, we show that our method outperforms existing methods in terms of mean squared error.

description: Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) plays pivotal roles in many real-world applications. Despite the successes of GCN deployment, GCN often exhibits performance disparity with respect to node degrees, resulting in worse predictive accuracy for low-degree nodes. We formulate the problem of mitigating the degree-related performance disparity in GCN from the perspective of the Rawlsian difference principle, which is originated from the theory of distributive justice. Mathematically, we aim to balance the utility between low-degree nodes and high-degree nodes while minimizing the task-specific loss. Specifically, we reveal the root cause of this degree-related unfairness by analyzing the gradients of weight matrices in GCN. Guided by the gradients of weight matrices, we further propose a pre-processing method RawlsGCN-Graph and an in-processing method RawlsGCN-Grad that achieves fair predictive accuracy in low-degree nodes without modification on the GCN architecture or introduction of additional parameters. Extensive experiments on real-world graphs demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed RawlsGCN methods in significantly reducing degree-related bias while retaining comparable overall performance.

Mediating Acts of War/Staging Crises of Sensibility: David Rabe's Sticks and Bones, Eve Ensler's Necessary Targets, and Sam Shepard's The God of Hell
Creators: name: Blatanis, Konstantinos
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism

description: The article focuses on the efforts of three outstanding contemporary American dramatists to address identified parameters of socio-political and cultural crises brought about by the diverse, yet intricately related, historical instances of the Vietnam War, the Bosnia-Herzegovina War, and the war on terror. In Sticks and Bones (1971), David Rabe discerns multiple layers of trauma on the face of a Vietnam veteran and thus finds chance to question the impossibility of gaining access to a healing process within the boundaries of a topos that proves even more disorienting than the battlefield itself. In Necessary Targets (2001), Eve Ensler, responding creatively to peculiarities spawned by the Bosnia-Herzegovina War and its aftermath, tackles adequately the question whether trauma is translatable. In addition, she examines the issue of positioning one's own stance towards the other's suffering, exploring modes in which the targeted people may help the observer become aware of her own crisis of self-placement. In The God of Hell (2004), Sam Shepard directs his efforts at capturing in stage images the feeling of bewilderment prevalent in post-9/11 America, where the appropriation of the national by a newly-conceived type of order is attempted via directed attacks on the people's understanding. In all three cases, attention is given to the artists' desire to shake audiences out of the familiarity of widely-shared and firmly-established representations of crises, highlighting that what should be seen and studied as the most serious facet of "crisis" is the very failure the subject encounters in attaining a thorough understanding of the moment itself.

Hop, Skip or Leap? Issues of Accessibility in the Literature of Rachel Carson, Janisse Ray, and Terry Tempest Williams
Creators: name: Bralesford, Helen
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2008

description: The last half of the twentieth century was a period when American women finally became able to use their voice to instigate political change. In the field of environmentalism there are notable examples of women successfully doing just that. From Rachel Carson whose seminal text Silent Spring (1962) warned a generation of the wider implications of indiscriminate pesticide use, to contemporary regional writers like Southern activist Janisse Ray and Utahan Terry Tempest Williams, the strategies that they have employed in their writing in order to instigate political change are often risky, bold, and innovative. But they are also democratic, seeking always to move the broader public to activism on behalf of the environment.

Adsorption of CO on the Ca3Ru2O7(001) surface

description: The adsorption of CO molecules at the Ca3Ru2O7(001) surface was studied using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Ca3Ru2O7 can be easily cleaved along the (001) plane, yielding a smooth, CaO-terminated surface. The STM shows a characteristic pattern with alternating dark and bright stripes, resulting from the tilting of the RuO$_6$ octahedra. At 78,K, CO adsorbs at an apical surface O at the channel edge with a predicted binding energy of $E_{ads} = -0.85$eV. After annealing at room temperature, the CO forms a strong bond ($E_{ads}= -2.04$eV) with the apical O and the resulting carboxylate takes the place of the former surface O. This carboxylate can be decomposed by scanning the surface with a high sample bias voltage of +2.7V, restoring the original surface.
What Is Called Ecoterrorism
Creators: name: Buell, Lawrence
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2008

description: The perceived threat of ecological terrorism has become a major concern of environmental discourse during the past two decades and ominously shifted focus in the process. This neologism has been brandished as an epithet both from the "right," in the first instance to stigmatize eco- and animal rights activism, and from the "left," to stigmatize state and corporate-sponsored violence. The activists quickly lost this war of words, however, so that "ecoterrorism" discourse has become predominantly a rhetorical weapon not only against radicals but sometimes even mainstream reformist initiatives. Through the lens of literary history, the shift is encapsulated by the genesis and reception of two novels: Edward Abbey's cult classic The Monkey-Wrench Gang (1975), a catalytic inspiration for the Earth First! Movement but later a poster-child for right-wing critics of "ecoterrorism"; and Michael Crichton's eco-thriller State of Fear (2004), in which an eco-radical organization figures as a satanic adversary secretly deployed by a supposedly respectable mainstream environ-mental group. It might seem that 9/11 would have played a crucial role in putting what one political theorist has called "resistance citizenship" on the defensive. But that is less true than one might suppose from the claims usually made for 9/11's world-historical import. In this case, the "zero hypothesis" rejected by Jean Baudrillard (9/11 made no appreciable difference in the world power structure) seems broadly true. The deeper cultural logic of this irony is then explored, with reference to the long tradition of conspiracy phobia in U.S. history, as well as the political thought of Hannah Arendt, Jacques Derrida, and others. I then return to the question of how radical ecotheory's ethical paradigms might abet overreaction rejected by Baudrillard and conclude with some reflections on the possible future(s) of eco-resistance citizenship.

Scale Invariance, Mass and Cosmology

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The possibility of mass in the context of scale-invariant, generally covariant theories, is discussed. The realizations of scale invariance which are considered, are in the context of a gravitational theory where the action, in the first order formalism, is of the form $S = \int L_{1} Φd^4x$ + $\int L_{2}\sqrt{-g}d^4x$ where $Φ$ is a density built out of degrees of freedom independent of gravity, which we call the "measure fields". For global scale invariance, a "dilaton" $ϕ$ has to be introduced, with non-trivial potentials $V(ϕ)$ = $f_{1}e^{αϕ}$ in $L_1$ and $U(ϕ)$ = $f_{2}e^{2αϕ}$ in $L_2$. This leads to non-trivial mass generation and potential for $ϕ$. Mass terms for an arbitrary matter field can appear in a scale invariant form both in $L_1$ and in $L_2$ where they are coupled to different exponentials of the field $ϕ$. Implications of these results for cosmology having in mind in particular inflationary scenarios, models of the late universe and modified gravitational theories are discussed.

Hollywood's Major Crisis and the American Film "Renaissance"
Creators: name: Kokonis, Michalis
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2008

description: In its long history, Hollywood faced several crises most of which were sustained with slight damage. However, the most severe crisis started in the post-war years and culminated in the period of the late 60s and early 70s when the Big Hollywood Studios came to the brink of bankruptcy. The aim of this paper is to re-examine the post-war period in order to assess the major changes (social, political, economic, technological) that gravely affected the Hollywood system of production and transformed the American cinema. As a result of this, Hollywood underwent a brief period of radicalization and innovation, which came to be known as Hollywood Renaissance. Hollywood Renaissance films like Bonnie and Clyde (1967), The Graduate (1967), and Easy Rider (1969) marked a return to a truly American Cinema. Furthermore, the films' artistic sensibilities brought them closer to their European counterparts. In effect, the period of the late 60s and early 70s signaled a rebirth of the American Film and paved the way for what is now called New Hollywood.
