description: A novel Zn(II) ions imprinted poly (2-hydroxyethyl Methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-(L)-histidine methyl ester) poly(HEMAH) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) nanosensor were designed for detection of Zn(II) ions in aqueous solution and artificial plasma providing a low cost, rapid and reliable results compared to other techniques such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer, X-ray fluorescence with synchrotron radiation. Zn(II) ions imprinted nanofilm on the SPR chip surface was synthesized by bulk polymerization. Characterization of Zn(II) ions imprinted nanosensor was performed by contact angle measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), ellipsometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR). Designed nanosensor was applied for selective detection of Zn(II) ions in aqueous solution within the range of 0.5–1.0 µg/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were calculated as 0.19 and 0.64 ng/mL, respectively. Association kinetics analysis, Scatchard, Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir–Freundlich, Tempkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were analyzed to the experimental data in order to identify the adsorption behavior. The selectivity of the SPR nanosensor was examined by using competitive metal ions such as Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Fe(II). To evaluate the imprinting effect of Zn(II) ions imprinted (MIP) and non-imprinted (NIP) nanosensor was also prepared as the control. Repeatability of the response signal was tested by four times adsorption–desorption–regeneration cycle.
Dominique Goy-Blanquet, Shakespeare in the Theatre: Patrice Chéreau, London: Bloomsbury (The Arden Shakespeare)
Creators: name: Coveney, Michael
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2019

description: London theatre critic Michael Coveney reviews Shakespeare in the Theatre: Patrice Chereau by Dominique Goy-Blanquet, tracing the career of a great director to its roots in a love for the Elizabethan theatre of Shakespeare and Marlowe, noting how a famous production of Richard II proved so influential that Shakespeare replaced Moliere as France’s most performed playwright. The author vividly evokes a modern chain of European theatre stemming from Brecht through two of Chereau’s most significant post-war mentors, Roger Planchon at the TNP, Villeurbanne, and Giorgio Strehler at the Piccolo in Milan. Chereau, who died in 2013, was a director of remarkable taste and intellect, his productions of Marivaux redefining that playwright and his imagination creating a lunar landscape for the new plays of Jean-Marie Koltes, Jon Fosse and others and frequently a Shakespearean dimension, too. The book is a compendium of fascinating production detail and a compellingly argued history of a crucial period of European theatre in which Chereau played a leading role.

description: Two recent shifts in computing are challenging the effectiveness of traditional approaches to data protection. Emerging machine learning workloads have complex access patterns and unique leakage characteristics that are not well supported by existing protection approaches. Second, mobile operating systems do not provide sufficient support for fine grained data protection tools forcing users to rely on individual applications to correctly manage and protect data. My thesis is that these emerging workloads have unique characteristics that we can leverage to build new, more effective data protection abstractions. This dissertation presents two new data protection systems for machine learning work-loads and a new system for fine grained data management and protection on mobile devices. First is Sage, a differentially private machine learning platform addressing the two primary challenges of differential privacy: running out of budget and the privacy utility tradeoff. The second system, Pyramid, is the first selective data system. Pyramid leverages count featurization to reduce the amount of data exposed while training classification models by two orders of magnitude. The final system, Pebbles, provides users with logical data objects as a new fine grained data management and protection primitive allowing data management at a higher level of abstraction. Pebbles, leverages high level storage abstractions in mobile operating systems to discover user recognizable application level data objects in unmodified mobile applications.

description: In 1822, William Buckland first recognized Pleistocene vertebrate coprolites, and they are now known from more multiple localities with a global distribution. Carnivore coprolites dominate, and there are two distinct biogeographic and taphonomic provinces for vertebrate coprolites in the Pleistocene. The Castrocopros province of North and South America is characterized by a dominance of herbivore coprolites, which are preserved almost exclusively in caves. The Hyaenacoprus province in Africa, Europe and Asia is dominated by hyena coprolites that occur mainly in caves, but also in other depositional environments. Pacific Islands may represent a third province characterized by dominant bird coprolites from caves, but the known localities are all Holocene. Mammuthocopros allenorum ichnogen. and ichnosp. nov. is a coprolite of Mammuthus columbi from Utah, USA.

description: We develop a novel approach to fusion reactions for syntheses of superheavy elements, which combines the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) method with a dynamical diffusion model based on the Langevin equation. In this approach, the distance of the closest approach for the capture process is estimated within the TDHF approach, which is then plugged into the dynamical diffusion model as an initial condition. We apply this approach to hot fusion reactions leading to formation of the element $Z=120$, that is, the $^{48}$Ca+$^{254,257}$Fm, $^{51}$V+$^{249}$Bk, and $^{54}$Cr+$^{248}$Cm reactions. Our calculations indicate that the distances of the closest approach for these systems are similar to each other and thus the difference in the probabilities of evaporation residue formation among those reaction systems originates mainly from the evaporation process, which is sensitive to the fission barrier height and the excitation energy of a compound nucleus.

description: The review discusses the assets and liabilities of the production of Measure for Measure directed by Paolo Valerio for the 2018 Shakespeare Festival at the Roman theatre in Verona. After giving a fair write-up of performance (acting, scene-setting and costumes), the reviewer foregrounds the central, aporetic issues of the ‘dark’ comedy/tragicomedy – love, sex, law and religion. Reservations are expressed about the fast tempo imposed on the tragic part of the play by privileging intrigue and allowing Duke Vincentio to dominate the stage as a puppet master – thereby overshadowing the mirroring effect of the comic one that is almost downgraded to a farce instead of working as a realistic counterbalance.

description: We have measured the quadratic Zeeman coefficient for the ${^{1}S_{0} \leftrightarrow {^{3}P_{0}}}$ optical clock transition in $^{27}$Al$^{+}$, $C_{2}=-71.944(24)$~MHz/T$^{2}$, and the unperturbed hyperfine splitting of the $^{25}$Mg$^{+}$ $^{2}S_{1/2}$ ground electronic state, $ΔW / h = 1~788~762~752.85(13)$~Hz, with improved uncertainties. Both constants are relevant to the evaluation of the $^{27}$Al$^{+}$ quantum-logic clock systematic uncertainty. The measurement of $C_{2}$ is in agreement with a previous measurement and a new calculation at the $1~σ$ level. The measurement of $ΔW$ is in good agreement with a recent measurement and differs from a previously published result by approximately $2σ$. With the improved value for $ΔW$, we deduce an improved value for the nuclear-to-electronic g-factor ratio $g_{I}/g_{J} = 9.299 ~308 ~313(60) \times 10^{-5}$ and the nuclear g-factor for the $^{25}$Mg nucleus $g_{I} = 1.861 ~957 ~82(28) \times 10^{-4}$. Using the values of $C_{2}$ and $ΔW$ presented here, we derive a quadratic Zeeman shift of the $^{27}$Al$^{+}$ quantum-logic clock of $Δν/ ν= -(9241.8 \pm 3.7) \times 10^{-19}$, for a bias magnetic field of $B \approx 0.12$~mT.

Subjects: subject: 19999 Mathematical Sciences not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis, a family of integral representation results are proved for problems involving energies with  different dimensionalities and multiscale interactions. The  first part is work in the framework of functions of bounded Hessian, with an eye towards application to the theory of second order structured deformations. A relaxation theorem for BH functionals is obtained in the spirit of the 1992 work of Ambrosio and Dal Maso, Fonseca and Müller within the BV context. An integral representation theorem is established for abstract second order structured deformations functionals, using proof techniques from the global method for integral representation introduced in 1998 by Bouchitté, Fonseca and Mascarenhas. The second family of results concerns systems featuring simultaneous homogenization and phase transition  effects. These are studied via the technique of 􀀀-convergence, and multiple regimes
are considered corresponding to the relative scaling of the phase transition thickness and the scale of the heterogeneity. In particular, 􀀀-limit results are proved in the general case of vector-valued functions when the two rates are commensurate and when the frequency of the
heterogeneity is sufficiently small with respect to the thickness.
On Culler-Shalen seminorms and Dehn filling

description: Consider the exterior M of a hyperbolic knot lying in a closed, connected, orientable 3-manifold. Culler and Shalen defined norm on H_1(dM;R) using the SL(2,C) character variety of pi_1(M). The Culler-Shalen norm encodes many topological properties of M; in particular it provides information about Dehn fillings of M. Their construction may be applied to arbitrary curves in the SL_2(C)-character variety of a connected, compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold whose boundary is a torus, though in this generality one can only guarantee that it will define a seminorm. The first half of this paper is devoted to the development of the general theory of Culler-Shalen seminorms defined for curves of PSL_2(C)-characters. By working over PSL_2(C) we obtain a theory that is more generally applicable than its SL_2(C) counterpart, while being only mildly more difficult to set up. In the second half of this paper we apply the theory of Culler-Shalen seminorms to study the Dehn filling operation. In particular we examine the relationship between fillings which yield manifolds having a positive dimensional PSL_2(C)-character variety with those that yield manifolds having a finite or cyclic fundamental group. In one interesting application of this work we show that manifolds resulting from a nonintegral surgery on a knot in the 3-sphere tend to have a zero-dimensional PSL_2(C)-character variety. As a consequence we obtain an infinite family of closed, orientable, hyperbolic Haken manifolds which have zero-dimensional PSL_2(C)-character varieties.

description: In the space of only a few years, deep generative modeling has revolutionized how we think of artificial creativity, yielding autonomous systems which produce original images, music, and text. Inspired by these successes, researchers are now applying deep generative modeling techniques to the generation and optimization of molecules - in our review we found 45 papers on the subject published in the past two years. These works point to a future where such systems will be used to generate lead molecules, greatly reducing resources spent downstream synthesizing and characterizing bad leads in the lab. In this review we survey the increasingly complex landscape of models and representation schemes that have been proposed. The four classes of techniques we describe are recursive neural networks, autoencoders, generative adversarial networks, and reinforcement learning. After first discussing some of the mathematical fundamentals of each technique, we draw high level connections and comparisons with other techniques and expose the pros and cons of each. Several important high level themes emerge as a result of this work, including the shift away from the SMILES string representation of molecules towards more sophisticated representations such as graph grammars and 3D representations, the importance of reward function design, the need for better standards for benchmarking and testing, and the benefits of adversarial training and reinforcement learning over maximum likelihood based training.

description: Rubinstein and Sarnak investigated systems of inequalities of the form pi(x;q,a_1) > ... > pi(x;q,a_r), where pi(x;q,a) denotes the number of primes up to x that are congruent to a mod q. They showed, under standard hypotheses on the zeros of Dirichlet L-functions mod q, that the set of positive real numbers x for which these inequalities hold has positive (logarithmic) density delta_{q;a_1,dots,a_r} > 0. They also discovered the surprising fact that a certain distribution associated with these densities is not symmetric under permutations of the residue classes a_j in general, even if the a_j are all squares or all nonsquares mod q (a condition necessary to avoid obvious biases of the type first observed by Chebyshev). This asymmetry suggests, contrary to prior expectations, that the densities delta_{q;a_1,dots,a_r} themselves vary under permutations of the a_j. In this paper, we derive (under the hypotheses used by Rubinstein and Sarnak) a general formula for the densities delta_{q;a_1,dots,a_r}, and we use this formula to calculate many of these densities when q <= 12 and r <= 4. For the special moduli q = 8 and q = 12, and for {a_1,a_2,a_3} a permutation of the nonsquares {3,5,7} mod 8 and {5,7,11} mod 12, respectively, we rigorously bound the error in our calculations, thus verifying that these densities are indeed asymmetric under permutation of the a_j. We also determine several situations in which the densities delta_{q;a_1,dots,a_r} remain unchanged under certain permutations of the a_j, and some situations in which they are provably different.

description: The abundance and diversity of soil organisms are considered to be prime indicators of soil health, which has been defined as the capacity of soil to sustain productivity. Municipal biosolids are good sources of N, P and micronutrients for short-term crop production. The long-term impacts of biosolids on indicators of soil health are, however, less well understood. As inputs of organic C, biosolids have potential to increase soil biodiversity and improve soil health. However, because they contain greater concentrations of some metals than receiving soil, there is also potential for biosolids to have regressive effects on soil biodiversity and soil health. We have been studying the impacts of biosolids on arbuscular-mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and diversity of soil microfauna, as well as nutrient availability, at three sites in the southern interior of BC: (1) irrigated alfalfa, (2) crested wheatgrass, and (3) native range vegetation. We have found that high biosolids application rates (e.g. 60 Mg/ha) can cause slight reductions in diversity of microfauna and colonization of alfalfa roots by AMF, relative to untreated soil. The reduced colonization of alfalfa by AMF appears to be the result of enhanced availability of P. Since uptake of P, Cu and Zn is the primary benefit of AMF to crop plants, the implications of reduced AMF colonization (in response to enhanced P availability) are not yet clear. It is also still unclear if the reduced diversity of micro-fauna is the result of nutrient loading or metals. We hypothesize that the use of biosolids in reclamation projects, where the reference point is degraded soil, is more likely to enhance soil health.
New Materials for the Coating of Outdoor Bronze

Bronzes

description: Bronze surfaces exposed to an outdoor environment face many conservation challenges.  Dramatically varying conditions of temperature, moisture and pollution typically result in material loss (as pitting and dissolution) and chemical alteration, accompanied by color change.  Without intervention, bronze left to weather outdoors will continue to deteriorate until little remains of the physical substance and appearance of the original patinated surface.  However, the processes of decay can be slowed significantly through the use of coatings.  While waxes and lacquers have long been available to conservators, these coatings typically require annual maintenance to retain a high level of performance.  With the development of a number of new treatment systems, there seems to be the potential to combine improved protection with enhanced coating durability, considerably extending the time between conservation interventions. Several innovative coatings were evaluated, in comparison to current practices. This research has involved the preparation of coated coupons for testing with the use of QUV accelerated weathering.  A number of ASTM standard test methods were used to study the samples before and after QUV exposure.

In particular, the paper suggests profitability lays on the value markets recognize to agricultural production. In this perspective, the Slow Food strategy represents a good practice to be emulated because it strengthens the producers’ confidence, improves product culture among producers and consumers, and re-embeds local agricultural products into the hotbed of practices of society while mass consumption drives it to abandonment.

description: This thesis introduces functional nanomaterials including superatoms and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for new layered solids and molecular devices. Chapters 1-3 present how we incorporate superatoms into two-dimensional (2D) materials. Chapter 1 describes a new and simple approach to dope transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) using the superatom Co6Se8(PEt3)6 as the electron dopant. Doping is an effective method to modulate the electrical properties of materials, and we demonstrate an electron-rich cluster can be used as a tunable and controllable surface dopant for semiconducting TMDCs via charge transfer. As a demonstration of the concept, we make a p-n junction by patterning on specific areas of TMDC films.
      Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 introduce new 2D materials by molecular design of superatoms. Traditional atomic van der Waals materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron-nitride, and TMDCs have received widespread attention due to the wealth of unusual physical and chemical behaviors that arise when charges, spins, and vibrations are confined to a plane. Though not as widespread as their atomic counterparts, molecule-based layered solids offer significant benefits; their structural flexibility will enable the development of materials with tunable properties. Chapter 2 describes a layered van der Waals solid self-assembled from a structure-directing building block and C60 fullerene. The resulting crystalline solid contains a corrugated monolayer of neutral fullerenes and can be mechanically exfoliated. Chapter 3 describes a new method to functionalize electroactive superatoms with groups that can direct their assembly into covalent and non-covalent multi-dimensional frameworks. We synthesized Co6Se8[PEt2(4-C6H4COOH)]6 and found that it forms two types of crystalline assemblies with Zn(NO3)2, one is a three-dimensional solid and the other consists of stacked layers of two-dimensional sheets. The dimensionality is controlled by subtle changes in reaction conditions.
      CNT-based field-effect transistor (FETs), in which a single molecule spans an oxidatively cut gap in the CNT, provide a versatile, ground-state platform with well-defined electrical contacts. For statistical studies of a variety of small molecule bridges, Chapter 4 presents a novel fabrication method to produce hundreds of FETs on one single carbon nanotube. A large number of devices allows us to study the stability and uniformity of CNT FET properties. Moreover, the new platform also enables a quantitative analysis of molecular devices. In particular, we used CNT FETs for studying DNA-mediated charge transport. DNA conductance was measured by connecting DNA molecules of varying lengths to lithographically cut CNT FETs.

description: We study two classes of problems within sublinear algorithms: data structures for approximate nearest neighbor search, and property testing of Boolean functions. We develop algorithmic and analytical tools for proving upper and lower bounds on the complexity of these problems, and obtain the following results: * We give data structures for approximate nearest neighbor search achieving state-of-the-art approximations for various high-dimensional normed spaces. For example, our data structure for 𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 normed spaces over R𝘥 answers queries in sublinear time while using nearly linear space and achieves approximation which is sub-polynomial in the dimension. * We prove query complexity lower bounds for property testing of three fundamental properties: 𝘬-juntas, monotonicity, and unateness. Our lower bounds for non-adaptive junta testing and adaptive unateness testing are nearly optimal, and the lower bound for adaptive monotonicity testing is the best that is currently known. * We give an algorithm for testing unateness with nearly optimal query complexity. The algorithm is crucially adaptive and based on a novel analysis of binary search over long paths of the hypercube.

description: Recently many people have discussed the possibility that the universe is hyperbolic and was in an inflationary phase in the early stage. Under these assumptions, it is shown that the universe cannot have compact hyperbolic time-slices. Though the universal covering space of the universe has a past Cauchy horizon and can be extended analytically beyond it, the extended region has densely many points which correspond to singularities of the compact universe. The result is essentially attributed to the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on a compact negatively curved manifold. Validity of the result is also discussed in the case of inhomogeneous universe. Relationship with the strong cosmic censorship conjecture is also discussed.

"I have translated from the English". Shakespeare in Eighteenth-Century Italy
Creators: name: Nigri, Lucia

description: In eighteenth-century Italy negative responses to Shakespeare’s plays are not to be found exclusively in matters of aesthetics, but in the country’s political and cultural subordination to France. It is not surprising, then, that a new strand in the reception of Shakespeare in Italy could only really begin when the death of Voltaire (1778) and the geographical redefinition of part of the central Europe encouraged Italian intellectuals to reconsider France’s role as a ‘necessary’ cultural(-historical) mediator. The robust reappraisal of Shakespeare that took place in the last two decades of the century was indeed deeply involved with the different responses that were prompted by the socio-political context and the gradual shattering of libertarian ideals. In this context, the work of an unconventional translator, Giustina Renier Michiel, definitively hustled the gradual reappraisal of Shakespeare’s plays in Italy. Her translations of specific Shakespearean plays are as the repositories of ideological, political, and social messages sent by a Venetian woman to her fellow-citizens struggling to position themselves in a new geographical and political panorama.

description: The goals of this paper are first to describe and then to apply an ergodic-theoretic generalization of the Siegel integral formula from the geometry of numbers. The general formula will be seen to serve both as a guide and as a tool for questions concerning the distribution, in senses to be made precise, of the set of closed leaves of measured foliations subordinate to meromorphic quadratic differentials on closed Riemann surfaces.

description: Introduction This study investigated the level of and the influence of socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, subjective norm and self-efficacy on the intention to donate hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) among blood donors. Methods [Refer to Poster]. Results [Refer to Poster]. Discussion / Conclusion Overall, 87.1% reported a positive intention to donate HSC. Concerns about the regulations of HSC donation, potential side effects of HSC donation must be addressed while promoting HSC donation. Improving subjective norms and self-efficacy about HSC donate may enhance their intention to donate. The findings are useful for the development of strategies for donor recruitment in the region.
New Perspectives on Gata Redundancy in Mouse Embryogenesis

description: Gata4 and Gata6 are closely related transcription factors that are essential for the development of a number of embryonic tissues. While they have nearly identical DNA-binding domains and similar patterns of expression, Gata4 and Gata6 null embryos have strikingly different embryonic lethal phenotypes. Conditional deletion of these genes in the pancreas has also revealed specific functions for each factor in this organ. To investigate the role of these genes in pancreatic development, we performed a number of biochemical experiments on pancreatic cell lines and mutant tissues. We found that Gata4 and Gata6 regulate overlapping sets of genes in the developing pancreas. To determine whether the lack of global redundancy between Gata4 and Gata6 is due to differences in protein function or Gata4 and Gata6 expression domains, we generated mice that contained the Gata6 cDNA in place of the Gata4 genomic locus.  Gata4Gata6/Gata6 embryos survived through embryonic day (e)12.5 and successfully underwent ventral folding morphogenesis, demonstrating that Gata6 is able to replace Gata4 function in extraembryonic tissues. Interestingly, Gata6 is unable to replace Gata4 function in the septum transversum mesenchyme or the epicardium, leading to liver agenesis and lethal heart defects in Gata4Gata6/Gata6 embryos. These studies suggest that Gata4 has evolved distinct functions in the development of these tissues that cannot be performed by Gata6, even when it is provided in the identical expression domain. Our work has important implications for the respective mechanisms of Gata function during development, as well as the functional evolution of these essential transcription factors.

description: Introduction Medication nonadherence among hemodialysis (HD) patients can be caused by erroneous medication beliefs held by them. Thus, an evaluation on patients’ belief on the risk and benefit of their prescribed medication is essential for the improvement of medication adherence. Objective To assess the prevalence of medication nonadherence among HD patients. To assess the beliefs about medicine among HD patients. To evaluate association of demographic data, beliefs about medicines with the medication nonadherence among HD patients. Methodology  Study design: Multi-center, cross sectional study Study location: HD center Hospital Balik Pulau and seven Non-Government Organization HD centers Timeline: September 2019 until January 2020 (data collection)  Sample size: N = 325 patients (single proportion formula) Sampling method: Purposive sampling Inclusion criteria: more than 18 years old, undergoing HD for at least 6 months, able to understand and communicate in either Malays, English, or Mandarin language, had no cognitive impairment. Data collection: Data collection form consisted of 4 parts: 1) Demographic data and medical status 2) Medication list 3) 5 items-medication adherence reporting scale (MARS-5) adherence assessment 4) Beliefs about medicines questionnaire (BMQ) Data analysis: Data was analysed by using SPSS version 18. Data was presented using descriptive statistic, chi square, single and multiple logistic regressions. P- value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results [Refer to Poster]. Discussion Major factor for medication nonadherence is forgetfulness. Hence, medication counselling should be targeted on unintentional nonadherence. Patients from different ethnic significantly differ in their perception towards medication sides effects. Patients with higher number of prescribed medications have more tendency to perceive of overuse of prescribed medication for their disease. Patient with belief of medication will protect them from becoming worse showed significant higher adherence to medication. Nonadherence to medication were significantly more prominent among patient who worries about taking medications and perceived most medication cause addictive to them. Conclusion Beliefs about medicines can affect medication taking behavior of the HD patients. Thus, it is important for health care providers to identify and remove patient’s misconception towards prescribed medication to minimize the medication nonadherence.

description: The authors establish a connection between the Quillen K-theory of certain local fields and the de Rham-Witt complex of their rings of integers with logarithmic poles at the maximal ideal. They consider fields K that are complete discrete valuation fields of characteristic zero with perfect residue fields k of characteristic p > 2. They evaluate the K-theory with Z/p^v-coefficients of K, and verify the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for K.

Re-Writing the Script: Updating the Massacre of the Innocents for the Twenty-First Century
Creators: name: Pfeiffer, Kerstin
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies

description: Mystery plays constitute an important element in the heritage practice of York and Chester, two English cities with surviving medieval play cycles, which have been at the forefront of mystery play revivals since 1951. In their historic and their modern incarnations, the York and Chester mystery plays are considered vehicles for the celebration of community. However, the medieval and modern plays seek to reach out to their spectators in different ways, not least because modern mysteries are performed for an increasingly diverse audience, drawn from a wider constituency, both in cultural and religious terms, compared to their medieval antecedents. Drawing on theatre studies scholarship and performance observation, this article explores the challenges that contemporary productions have to overcome in order to engage twenty-first century audiences. It focuses on dramatizations of the Massacre of the Innocents, a particularly popular episode in the Middle English Corpus Christi cycles, which remains a firm favourite with modern directors. By exploring the strategies that historical mystery plays and their recent incarnations in 2013 (Chester) and 2014 (York) use for managing feeling, it illustrates how modern productions seek to build a sense of community – not necessarily a religious but an ethically engaged sense of community. Modern versions of the Massacre of the Innocents emerge as exemplary sites for exploring the ways in which re-appropriating the culture of the past in the present through performance creates spaces for negotiating contemporary senses of community.

description: We study the impurity pinning of the Quantum Hall (QH) smectic state arising in two dimensional electron systems in high Landau levels. We use replicas and a Gaussian Variational method to deal with the disorder. The pinned quantum smectic exhibits very anisotropic behaviour, with density correlations along the direction of the stripes manifesting a Bragg-Glass type behaviour i.e., quasi long range order whereas those in the transverse direction are infra red divergent. We calculate the dynamical conductivity along the stripe direction and find a wavelength dependent pinning peak.
