The Intellectual As Warrior: Isaiah Berlin’s Cold War
Creators: Zhang, Lanbo
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: History

description: This thesis challenges the notion of the academic as a neutral observer by regarding Isaiah Berlin as an active Cold War participant. In reformulating the intellectual’s role, this paper looks to add a new perspective to the Cold War and another element in how it is defined and conceived as a conflict. The objective of such a project is to understand why the West came to perceive the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a serious threat following World War II from an intellectual’s perspective. While recognizing the relevance and reality of the Cold War as a material conflict, this paper assigns vital importance to the epistemological and moral aspects of the Cold War to show that many of its stakes were in ideas. By looking into the life and works of one of the twentieth century’s most influential Western intellectuals, this thesis hopes to uncover the underlying moral rationale behind one of the most peculiar conflicts in modern history from the perspective of one of its actors.

description: The "hall churches" of East Anglia, which number fewer than two dozen, were among the most distinctive of the thousands of parish churches built or rebuilt in England during the Late Middle Ages. Indeed, at the time of their construction, these buildings were nothing short of revolutionary since their open configurations upended centuries-old conventions of church planning. All medieval parish churches, by virtue of their function as spiritual centers for the common faithful, possessed two important ritual zones: the nave (traditionally maintained by the laity) and the chancel (traditionally maintained by the clergy). The vast majority treated these zones as semi-autonomous spaces. But a tiny minority, namely "hall churches," treated them as a single fully integrated volume of continuous extent and congruent design. Historians of art and architecture, in evaluating these one-of-a-kind structures, have been quick to praise their phenomenological homogeneity as architectural ensembles but slow to parse their ontological heterogeneity as composite spatial enclosures and conglomerate social enterprises. This dissertation seeks, in contrast, to investigate the implications of this productive tension between affect and reality via object-oriented methods derived from the spatial turn in the humanities. It argues—with special reference to three case study buildings in the cathedral city of Norwich—that the provocative contradictions of late medieval parish “hall churches” enabled parishioners to problematize identity by exploiting the fundamentally pliable relationship between form and meaning in architectural production.

description: The Monniaux Problem in abstract interpretation asks, roughly speaking, whether the following question is decidable: given a program $P$, a safety (\emph{e.g.}, non-reachability) specification $φ$, and an abstract domain of invariants $\mathcal{D}$, does there exist an inductive invariant $I$ in $\mathcal{D}$ guaranteeing that program $P$ meets its specification $φ$. The Monniaux Problem is of course parameterised by the classes of programs and invariant domains that one considers. In this paper, we show that the Monniaux Problem is undecidable for unguarded affine programs and semilinear invariants (unions of polyhedra). Moreover, we show that decidability is recovered in the important special case of simple linear loops.

description: A trimetallic CuII derivative, [Cu3(L)2(CF3COO)2] (1) (where H2L = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine), was prepared and characterized. In 1, the two terminal CuII ions are linked to the central CuII by trifluoroacetato and doubly bridging phenoxido. Both the square-pyramidal and octahedral geometries are observed among two different CuII centers in the linear arrangement of the trimetallic unit. Compound 1 is characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectra. Compound 1 has high cytotoxic activity in breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), colorectal carcinoma (HCT116) and particularly, in ovarian carcinoma (A2780) cell line compared to a lung adenocarcinoma cell line. The IC50 in A2780 cells is 25 times lower than the respective value for normal human primary fibroblasts demonstrating 1 has higher cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. Additionally, combination of DOX with 1 induces a higher loss of HCT116 cell viability compared with each drug alone.

description: Gravitationally coupled scalar fields, originally introduced by Jordan, Brans and Dicke to account for a non constant gravitational coupling, are a prediction of many non-Einsteinian theories of gravity not excluding perturbative formulations of String Theory. In this paper, we compute the cross sections for scattering and absorption of scalar and tensor gravitational waves by a resonant-mass detector in the framework of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. The results are then specialized to the case of a detector of spherical shape and shown to reproduce those obtained in General Relativity in a certain limit. Eventually we discuss the potential detectability of scalar waves emitted in a spherically symmetric gravitational collapse.

description: We introduce a general method for transforming the equations of motion following from a Das-Jevicki-Sakita Hamiltonian, with boundary conditions, into a boundary value problem in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. For the particular case of a one-dimensional chain of interacting NxN Hermitean matrices, the corresponding large N boundary value problem is mapped into a linear Fredholm equation with Hilbert-Schmidt type kernel. The equivalence of this kernel, in special cases, to a second order differential operator allows us recover all previously known explicit solutions for the matrix eigenvalues. In the general case, the distribution of eigenvalues is formally derived through a series of saddle-point approximations. The critical behaviour of the system, including a previously observed Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, is interpreted in terms of the stationary points. In particular we show that a previously conjectured infinite series of sub-leading critical points are due to expansion about unstable stationary points and consequently not realized.

description: This study explores the ways that acts of writing occur and become recognized as “writing” in a kindergarten classroom. Symbolic representations often aligning with the dominance of conventions come to be seen and named as writing as soon as children enter school, therefore influencing how one is seen and named in the classroom space as a “writer.” This often-narrow focus on what it means to be a writer leaves little room for teachers to acknowledge the various acts of writing that occur or might occur across space and time in a given classroom or in out of school contexts. With this naming of particular acts of writing, comes the exclusion of other acts. Drawing on a sociocultural framework with tenets of post structuralism, this case study uses a Foucauldian approach to shed light on the multiple powers/knowledges that are deployed in a classroom. Using ethnographic methods this work highlights the ways that children engage in acts of mark making both within and beyond the designated pedagogical space dedicated to writing. Data were gathered through participant observations, interviews, and the collection of artifacts across the first 4 months of school in a kindergarten classroom situated in a suburban district in the Midwest. The ongoing analysis of data across the study surfaced several discursive patterns suggesting that both the teacher and children were influenced by the larger discourse of accountability and compliance circulating in schools today. With an increased emphasis on early literacy standards and the ensuing accountability attached to such, this analysis has the potential to open up possibilities that may extend how writing might come to be seen and taught in classrooms, therefore influencing the kinds of writing and acts that might be seen as permissible.

description: Cauchy horizons are shown to be differentiable at endpoints where only a single null generator leaves the horizon. A Cauchy horizon fails to have any null generator endpoints on a given open subset iff it is differentiable on the open subset and also iff the horizon is (at least) of class C^1 on the open subset. Given the null convergence condition, a compact horizon which is of class C^2 almost everywhere has no endpoints and is (at least) of class C^1 at all points.

description: DNA methylation in CpGs dinucleotides is associated with high mutability and disappearance of CpG sites during evolution. Although the high mutability of CpGs is thought to be relevant for vertebrate evolution, very little is known on the role of CpG-related mutations in the genomic diversification of vertebrates. Our study analysed genetic differences in chickens, between Red Junglefowl (RJF; the living closest relative to the ancestor of domesticated chickens) and domesticated breeds, to identify genomic dynamics that have occurred during the process of their domestication, focusing particularly on CpG-related mutations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variations (CNVs) between RJF and these domesticated breeds were assessed in a reduced fraction of their genome. Additionally, DNA methylation in the same fraction of the genome was measured in the sperm of RJF individuals to identify possible correlations with the mutations found between RJF and the domesticated breeds. Our study shows that although the vast majority of CpG-related mutations found relate to CNVs, CpGs disproportionally associate to SNPs in comparison to CNVs, where they are indeed substantially under-represented. Moreover, CpGs seem to be hotspots of mutations related to speciation. We suggest that, on the one hand, CpG-related mutations in CNV regions would promote genomic ‘flexibility’ in evolution, i.e., the ability of the genome to expand its functional possibilities; on the other hand, CpG-related mutations in SNPs would relate to genomic ‘specificity’ in evolution, thus, representing mutations that would associate with phenotypic traits relevant for speciation.

description: Mixing of passive scalars in compressible turbulence does not obey the same classical Reynolds number scaling as its incompressible counterpart. We first show from a large database of direct numerical simulations that even the solenoidal part of the velocity field fails to follow the classical incompressible scaling when the forcing includes a substantial dilatational component. Though the dilatational effects on the flow remain significant, our main results are that both the solenoidal energy spectrum and the passive scalar spectrum scale assume incompressible forms, and that the scalar gradient aligns with the most compressive eigenvalue of the solenoidal part, provided that only the solenoidal components are used for scaling in a consistent manner. Minor modifications to this statement are also pointed out.

description: We systematically extend Bogoliubov theory beyond the mean field approximation of the Bose-Hubbard model in the superfluid phase. Our approach is based on the time dependent variational principle applied to the family of all Gaussian states (i.e. Gaussian TDVP). First, we find the best ground state approximation within our variational class using imaginary time evolution in 1d, 2d and 3d. We benchmark our results by comparing to Bogoliubov theory and DMRG in 1d. Second, we compute the approximate 1- and 2-particle excitation spectrum as eigenvalues of the linearized projected equations of motion (linearized TDVP). We find the gapless Goldstone mode, a continuum of 2-particle excitations and a doublon mode. We discuss the relation of the gap between Goldstone mode and 2-particle continuum to the excitation energy of the Higgs mode. Third, we compute linear response functions for perturbations describing density variation and lattice modulation and discuss their relations to experiment. Our methods can be applied to any perturbations that are linear or quadratic in creation/annihilation operators. Finally, we provide a comprehensive overview how our results are related to well-known methods, such as traditional Bogoliubov theory and random phase approximation.

description: Introduction: There is a growing trend of using patient preference studies to help incorporate the patient perspective into clinical drug development, care management, and health-care decision-making. Collecting and interpreting patient preference data is integral to multi-stakeholder engagement, patient-centric drug development, and clinical care management. Operationally, challenges exist in understanding ‘when’ and ‘how’ to embark on patient preference studies. This review will provide a brief overview of stated-preference methods, discuss applications throughout the clinical drug development and care management, and highlight how preference studies serve as a powerful tool for quantifying patient experiences for better outcomes. Areas covered: We present case studies to complement the different applications of stated-preference methods in clinical drug development and care management. We discuss the applications of preference data to help inform evidence-based patient advocacy, clinical development strategy, operational feasibility, regulator benefit-risk assessments, health technology assessments, and clinical decision-making. Expert commentary: Patient preference studies can serve as a powerful tool to engage patients and their communities as well as quantify the patient voice across different stages of clinical drug development and care management to support patient-centric health-care decision-making. It is expected that the application of these strategies will quickly advance in the coming years.
Long-term impact of Central Basin hypoxia and internal phosphorus loading on north shore water quality in Lake Erie

description: We hypothesized that north shore water quality of Lake Erie’s Central Basin is impacted by Central Basin hypoxia and, by extension, related to redox-dependant internal phosphorus (P) loading from the profundal sediments. To evaluate this hypothesis, we first quantified Central Basin hypoxia as hypoxic factor (HF, days in Aug–Sep that a sediment area equal to the Central Basin surface area was hypoxic) from published annual hypoxic (<2.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen) areal extent and duration. From 1985 to 2012, mean HF values were 15.2 (SE 1.45) d/Aug–Sep and ranged between 0 (1996) and 34.3 (2012) d/Aug–Sep. Second, we estimated internal load from an areal P release rate of 8 mg/m2/d, multiplied by HF. The estimate of 122 (SE 11.6) mg/m2/Aug–Sep (1985–2012, n = 28) is supported by an independent estimate of 136 (SE 20.3) mg/m2/summer (1970–1986, n = 15) computed from total P concentration increases at fall turnover and by an estimate for 1970. Third, 2013 temperature and oxygen profiles demonstrated periodic upwelling on the north shore of the Central Basin, in agreement with other studies. Fourth, we analysed P, chlorophyll a (Chl-a) and phytoplankton species data at 2 north shore drinking water intake stations. HF and internal loading were significantly correlated with summer soluble reactive P, August–October Chl-a concentrations, and cyanobacteria abundance at the Central Basin site but not at the control site in the Western Basin. While these correlations are weak, suggesting other effects including benthic productivity, they may be partially caused by hypolimnetic water circulated toward the shoreline.
The Interacting Dynamics of Tropical and Extratropical Climate: Insights from Observations, and Low-order and General Circulation Models

description: Using methods from dynamical systems theory in observations, low-order and general circulation models (GCMs), this dissertation explores (a) the response of midlatitude jet and eddy energy to climate change and variability, and (b) variability in predictability of the first kind of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon.
First, an analysis framework inspired by the Lorenz-1984 model is developed to study the relationship of the probability structure of the North Atlantic jet stream and storm track (location and strength) with (a) hemispheric surface temperature gradients (equator-to-pole gradient and ocean-land contrast), and (b) ENSO. Both the equator-to-pole gradient and the ocean-land contrast are projected to decrease in response to greenhouse gas forcing. The shifts in the probability structure of jet and eddy energy in relation to decreasing surface temperature gradients are in the opposite direction than the shifts for El Niño forcing. However, in climate change projections, the El Niño-like tropical pacific warming dominates the response of the jet/eddy energy probability, resulting in a strengthening and equatorward shift of the subtropical jet. The response of the subpolar jet is separate (poleward shift and strengthening), indicating that the combined effect of the tropical and extratropical SST changes under strong greenhouse gas forcing may set up conditions for a separation of the jet stream in the North Atlantic.
Then, ENSO predictability of the first kind is examined in observations and in pre-industrial model simulations, using local lyapunov exponents. Multidecadal variations in ENSO predictability are shown in a 2000-yr long simulation from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) CM2.1 model. The GCM is found to be less predictable than nature and than an intermediate model of the tropical Pacific (Zebiak-Cane model). Finally, it is shown that increased predictability is associated with a deeper thermocline in the west Pacific up to five years prior to the peak of the event, along with an earlier deepening of the thermocline in the east Pacific in the months preceding the peak.
This dissertation therefore illustrates that the analysis of key features of tropical and extratropical climate in a physically meaningful "reduced space" can provide a focused interpretation of GCM projections for climate change and variability.

description: The problem of this volume is not so much „Lyrik” but rather „Erkenntnis” (knowledge, cognition et al.). The paper, therefore, discusses a revision of our no-tion of „erkennen” (knowing, realizing, understanding), explaining it as a way of transforming our way of thinking things at the same time as understanding our-selves and other thinking beings. By this move the notion of knowledge/understand-ing is to be freed from the narrow restrictions of science, by which most of us have acquired the habit of limiting understanding to specific scientific methods. Beyond the bounds of established scientific standards the practice of philosophical thinking shows analogies to the practice of lyrical thinking. Both try to explore new ways of thinking off the limits of established methodological guidelines. Which character-istics do they share, which differences remain? But most of all, how can these non-scientific ways of searching knowledge be protected from confusion and disorien-tation? How may their ways of thinking be legitimized? Where do they lead? A major thesis of the paper argues that both ways of searching knowledge, poetry and philosophy, question the generally accepted distinction of analytical and syn-thetic judgements. This distinction is a constitutive element of any scientific dis-course manifesting itself in the importance of the introductory definitions of its spe-cific basic terms. They start form the common experience that seemingly evident words and notions, by being used in unaccustomed ways, may change their mean-ings, i.e. their relations to other words and notions. Through experimental practices of thinking poetry as well as philosophy, both in their own traditions, may succeed in opening up new ways of perceiving things as well as new realizations of the thinkers’ own position in the world and try to win others to join them in doing so.

The derivation employs regularities in preimages of blocks of zeros, reducing the problem of preimage enumeration to a well known lattice path counting problem. Assuming infinite lattice size and random initial configuration, the flow can be expressed in terms of generalized hypergeometric function. We show that the steady state limit agrees with previously published results.

description: We present MeerKAT observations of neutral hydrogen gas (HI) in the nearby merger remnant NGC 1316 (Fornax A), the brightest member of a galaxy group which is falling into the Fornax cluster. We find HI on a variety of scales, from the galaxy centre to its large-scale environment. For the first time we detect HI at large radii (70 - 150 kpc in projection), mostly distributed on two long tails associated with the galaxy. Gas in the tails dominates the HI mass of NGC 1316: 7e+8 Msun -- 14 times more than in previous observations. The total HI mass is comparable to the amount of neutral gas found inside the stellar body, mostly in molecular form. The HI tails are associated with faint optical tidal features thought to be the remnant of a galaxy merger occurred a few billion years ago. They demonstrate that the merger was gas-rich. During the merger, tidal forces pulled some gas and stars out to large radii, where we now detect them in the form of optical tails and, thanks to our new data, HI tails; while torques caused the remaining gas to flow towards the centre of the remnant, where it was converted into molecular gas and fuelled the starburst revealed by the galaxy's stellar populations. Several of the observed properties of NGC 1316 can be reproduced by a ~ 10:1 merger between a dominant, gas-poor early-type galaxy and a smaller, gas-rich spiral occurred 1 - 3 Gyr ago, likely followed by subsequent accretion of satellite galaxies.

description: Itokawa particles, which are the recovered samples from the S-complex asteroid 25143 Itokawa by the Hayabusa spacecraft, demonstrate that S-complex asteroids are parent bodies of ordinary chondrite meteorites. Furthermore, they clarify that the space weathering age of the Itokawa surface is of the order of several thousand years. Traditionally, Q-type asteroids have been considered fresh-surfaced. However, as the space weathering timescale is approximately three orders of magnitude lesser than the conventionally considered age, the previously proposed formation mechanisms of Q-type asteroids cannot sufficiently explain the surface refreshening. In this study, we propose a new hypothesis on the surface state of Q-type asteroids: Q-type asteroids have a non-fresh weathered surface with a paucity of fine particles. For verifying this hypothesis, laboratory experiments on the space weathering of ordinary chondrites are performed. Based on the results of these experiments, we found that large (more than 100 μm) ordinary chondritic particles with space weathering exhibit spectra consistent with Q-type asteroids.

description: The double spin asymmetry for exclusive $J/ψ$ pair production in the polarized $p-p$ collisions at RHIC is investigated. Our study shows that the asymmetry in this process is measurable at RHIC-SPIN experiments in the near future, and, hence it can be used to determine the gluon distribution function $ΔG (x)$ in the polarized nucleon.

The Intergenerational Acculturation Gap: Family Conflict and Youth Maladjustment

description: Imagine a young Nicaraguan girl trying to explain to the doctor why her mother refuses to get a vaccination. Now imagine the mother confused and exasperated, having to wait on her daughter to translate why the doctor insists on driving a needle into her skin. In this culture clash, the child is caught in between as a cultural broker while the mother is forced to take on a passive role. As the example demonstrates, in immigrant families the process of acculturation can be severe, often disrupting family arrangements and emotional ties. The younger generation is able to adapt to the new culture quickly, learning the language and customs while the adult family members suddenly find their social status diminish due to the lack of education and language deficiencies. Their assimilation into American society therefore, rarely conforms to the ideal “melting pot” whereby immigrants are expected to shed their native cultural identity and uptake the values, beliefs and behaviors of the new culture. The process of acculturation itself however, is dependent on factors such as the nature of immigration, context of reception into the host country, and the age of immigration and time spent in the host country. Consequently, for many immigrant families, the process of acculturation challenges their self-worth, beliefs, and cultural practices resulting in family conflict and youth maladjustment.

description: The mechanisms driving phenotypic evolution have been of interest to biologists since Darwin. Ecological release—wherein adaptive evolution occurs following relaxation of constraining selective pressures—and environmental filtering—wherein exaptive traits allow colonization of a new area—have been studied in several insular cases. Anolis lizards, which may exist in solitude or sympatry with multiple congeners, are an excellent system for evaluating whether ecological release and environmental filtering are associated with phenotypic shifts across phylogenetic and geographical scales. Insular solitary Anolis exhibit phenotypic differentiation in body size and sexual size dimorphism—SSD—through exaptive and adaptive evolution, respectively. But, the generality of these effects has not yet been addressed. Here, we analyse the evolution of body size and SSD relative to sympatry in mainland Anolis. We found that mainland species co-occurring with few congeners exhibit uniform body size and greater SSD relative to other random mainland assemblages, consistent with the insular solitary pattern. The locations of evolutionary shifts for both traits do not coincide with evolutionary transitions to decreased levels of sympatry. These results are consistent with exaptive environmental filtering but not adaptive ecological release. Future studies should be conducted at local scales to evaluate the role of these factors in the evolution of solitary existence in mainland and island species.
Energy-momentum and angular-momentum of a gyratonic pp-waves spacetime

description: Gyratonic plane fronted gravitational waves are exact solutions of Einstein's field equations, which correspond to gravitational waves that carry momentum and angular-momentum. Using the definitions of the Hamiltonian formulation of the Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity, we explicitly evaluate the general expressions of the energy-momentum and angular-momentum of these space-times. In order to better understand the additional properties of these gravitational waves, we consider the motion of particles in this space-time and obtain an interesting relation between the angular-momentum of the particles and that of the gravitational waves.
The Interaction Between Accountability Policies for Kindergarten and Institutional Practices: Kindergarten Teachers and Principals Responses to Policies in Four Public and Private Subsidized Schools in Chile

description: Similar to many other countries, over the past decade Chile has developed policies increasing accountability over schools and teachers working with young children, yet little is known about the impact of these policies on teachers and teaching practices.
      	This study contributes to the research on policy implementation by examining the interaction between accountability policies and institutional practices in kindergarten in the context of the Chilean school system.  Specifically, this multiple-site case study explored the responses of kindergarten teachers and principals in different school contexts to policies driven by accountability principles. The study employs a critical approach mobilizing a blend of institutional theory and sense-making theory to examine schools’ macro and micro levels of policy implementation.
      	The results indicate that according to teachers there is a disjunction between the traditional aims of early childhood education, and the objectives of current policies that emphasize results over processes. The teachers interviewed in this study felt that accountability policies largely increase control and surveillance over their teaching and privilege standardized performance measures over holistic child development. However, these policies do provide teachers some opportunities to improve their professional legitimacy in an educational context that usually isolates them. The study also reveals a large gap between teachers’ and principals’ knowledge of early childhood education and their views of the impact of accountability policies.
      	One of the main implications of this study is that policy implementation should put in place supporting actions to help teachers implement accountability practices while acknowledging teachers’ expertise and fostering their agency.

description: Keycorp is Australia’s largest payments technology service provider. The company provides independent, as well as multi-vendor payments technology to retailers, financial institutions and large corporate organisations. Bambora is Keycorp’s Swedish parent company, which in turn is owned by the Ingenico Group, a private equity-backed French provider of payment and transaction processing services with revenues of €2.6b (Ingenico Group, 2018).
 In the 1990’s, Keycorp was the first company to launch a range of LCD monitors for PC’s as a new desktop technology for replacing bulky monitors using cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. As such, Keycorp had a first-mover advantage. Since then, LCD monitors have quickly dominated the market due to their compact size (small footprint), light weight, minimal flicker, non-detrimental radiation and low power consumption.
 This case study deals with the introduction of a product in Keycorp’s LCD monitors business, which was to be designed from a value-for-money perspective, based on customer preferences.
 Specific quantitative techniques used were factor and conjoint analyses.

description: In many solid tumours a desmoplastic reaction takes place, which results in tumour tissue stiffening due to the extensive production of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, such as collagen, by stromal cells, mainly fibroblasts (FBs) and cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). In this study, we investigated the effect of collagen stiffness on pancreatic FBs and CAFs, particularly on specific cytoskeleton properties and gene expression involved in tumour invasion. We found that cells become stiffer when they are cultured on stiff substrates and express higher levels of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Also, it was confirmed that on stiff substrates, CAFs are softer than FBs, while on soft substrates they have comparable Young's moduli. Furthermore, the number of spread FBs and CAFs was higher in stiffer substrates, which was also confirmed by Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) mRNA expression, which mediates cell spreading. Although stress fibres in FBs become more oriented on stiff substrates, CAFs have oriented stress fibres regardless of substrate stiffness. Subsequently, we demonstrated that cells' invasion has a differential response to stiffness, which was associated with regulation of Ras homologue family member (RhoA) and Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK-1) mRNA expression. Overall, our results demonstrate that collagen stiffness modulates FBs and CAFs cytoskeleton remodelling and alters their invasion properties.
`Operational' Energy Conditions

description: I show that a quantized Klein-Gordon field in Minkowski space obeys an `operational' weak energy condition: the energy of an isolated device constructed to measure or trap the energy in a region, plus the energy it measures or traps, cannot be negative. There are good reasons for thinking that similar results hold locally for linear quantum fields in curved space-times. A thought experiment to measure energy density is analyzed in some detail, and the operational positivity is clearly manifested. If operational energy conditions do hold for quantum fields, then the negative energy densities predicted by theory have a will-o'-the-wisp character: any local attempt to verify a total negative energy density will be self-defeating on account of quantum measurement difficulties. Similarly, attempts to drive exotic effects (wormholes, violations of the second law, etc.) by such densities may be defeated by quantum measurement problems. As an example, I show that certain attempts to violate the Cosmic Censorship principle by negative energy densities are defeated. These quantum measurement limitations are investigated in some detail, and are shown to indicate that space-time cannot be adequately modeled classically in negative energy density regimes.
