Factories Against the Clock: Time-discipline and Resistance in the Silk Reeling Factories of Bursa 1850-1915
Creators: name: Pulas, Zeynep Ecem
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2021

description: What can the study of different regimes of time discipline in factories and deviations in their measurement tell us about the relationship between capital, labour and the state authority in the Ottoman Empire? In this article, I will answer this question by analysing the official letters and petitions of the Bursa Silk workers to explore how “watchless” people understand and negotiate new time patterns emerged from mechanized production. I argue that the mechanized factory production did not result in a clock-measured, regular working day up until the early twentieth century in silk factories of Bursa. These irregular labor patterns, however, cannot be explained by the immature scale of the industry or lack of labor rationalization. The answer lies at the heart of the working day: such irregularity enabled employers to increase, to say it in Marxist terms, the absolute surplus value. Furthermore, I will argue that the demand for regimented work hours came not from the capitalists, and it was not the Ottoman government`s top-down reforms. Rather, the demand to curb all-invading, irregular work hours came from the young female laborers who were deemed the least “time-conscious”. In this light, the story of Bursa decenters the male-dominated view in the global history of economy and labour and adds nuance to our understanding of the temporalities of capitalism.

Envisioning (In)dependent Filastin: Agrochemicals and the Synthetic Age in British-Ruled Palestine
Creators: name: Polatsek, Omri
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2021

description: By reconstructing the history of Imperial Chemical Industries Levant activities and examining Husni al-Miqdadi’s writings (one of ICI Levant’s agents), this article explores the crystallization of the Synthetic Age in British-ruled Palestine. As ICI Levant was the leading local importer of agrochemicals to Palestine, it held a significant position for Zionist-Jews and Arab-Palestinians, both seeking to transform the economic basis of the land in order to materialize a future national economy that would be based on agriculture. After describing the interdependence between the Synthetic Age and British Imperialism in the first section, the article depicts the company’s local and regional activity and explores Arab-Palestinians reaction to its expansion in the second and third sections. In the last section, it studies the activities and writings of one of the company’s agents, Husni al-Miqdadi (المقدادي). Reconstructing al-Miqdadi’s work vis-à-vis ICI’s local and regional activity reveals the material and social entanglements between the national-local and imperial-global, resulting from the new ‘chemical possibilities’ generated by British Imperialism. This article argues that al-Miqdadi specific expertise as a fertilizer expert was a product of a substantial change that took place during the interwar period– the rising flow of synthetic agrochemicals to Palestine and the Middle East. As the Synthetic Age was set into motion by imperial infrastructure and colonial mindsets, its material and conceptual aspects shaped the interactions between local and imperial actors and enabled experts like Al-Miqdādi to join in and expand the discourse of Arab-Palestinian nahda.

description: More than a century after the inception of quantum theory, the question of which traits and phenomena are fundamentally quantum remains under debate. Here we give an answer to this question for temporal processes which are probed sequentially by means of projective measurements of the same observable. Defining classical processes as those that can---in principle---be simulated by means of classical resources only, we fully characterize the set of such processes. Based on this characterization, we show that for non-Markovian processes (i.e., processes with memory), the absence of coherence does not guarantee the classicality of observed phenomena and furthermore derive an experimentally and computationally accessible measure for non-classicality in the presence of memory. We then provide a direct connection between classicality and the vanishing of quantum discord between the evolving system and its environment. Finally, we demonstrate that---in contrast to the memoryless setting---in the non-Markovian case, there exist processes that are genuinely quantum, i.e., they display non-classical statistics independent of the measurement scheme that is employed to probe them.

description: The elliptic algebra A_{q,p}(sl(N)_{c}) at the critical level c=-N has an extended center containing trace-like operators t(z). Families of Poisson structures, defining q-deformations of the W_N algebra, are constructed. The operators t(z) also close an exchange algebra when (-p^{1/2})^{NM} = q^{-c-N} for M \in Z. It becomes Abelian when in addition p=q^{Nh} where h is a non-zero integer. The Poisson structures obtained in these classical limits contain different q-deformed W_N algebras depending on the parity of h, characterizing the exchange structures at p =/ q^{Nh} as new W_{q,p}(sl(N)) algebras.

Skeleton-based Action Recognition with Non-linear Dependency Modeling and Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion

description: Human skeleton-based action recognition has long been an indispensable aspect of artificial intelligence. Current state-of-the-art methods tend to consider only the dependencies between connected skeletal joints, limiting their ability to capture non-linear dependencies between physically distant joints. Moreover, most existing approaches distinguish action classes by estimating the probability density of motion representations, yet the high-dimensional nature of human motions invokes inherent difficulties in accomplishing such measurements. In this paper, we seek to tackle these challenges from two directions: (1) We propose a novel dependency refinement approach that explicitly models dependencies between any pair of joints, effectively transcending the limitations imposed by joint distance. (2) We further propose a framework that utilizes the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion to differentiate action classes without being affected by data dimensionality, and mathematically derive learning objectives guaranteeing precise recognition. Empirically, our approach sets the state-of-the-art performance on NTU RGB+D, NTU RGB+D 120, and Northwestern-UCLA datasets.

description: We present the theoretical investigation of structural and optical properties of silver and gold cluster–dipeptide hybrids bound to the FS defect of the MgO (100) surface. We use DFT and its TDDFT variant combined with the polarizable embedded cluster model for the description of the extended MgO environment. As model peptide we have chosen CysTrp since the cysteine residue interacts strongly with metal particles through the sulfur atom and tryptophan is the most important chromophoric amino acid. Our results show that in the case of CysTrp bound to the supported Ag4 cluster an intense optical signal arises at 400 nm. In contrast, in the case of gold no strongly localized absorption is present since the optical response of supported gold–peptide hybrids is dominated by a large number of low intensity d-electron excitations spread over a broad energy range. Such a localized optical signal which is present in supported silver hybrids can be exploited for the optical detection of peptides and thus can serve as basis for the development of biosensing materials.

description: The pore saturation of natural gas hydrate in sediments is a key parameter for estimating hydrate resources in a reservoir. For a better understanding of gas hydrate distribution, the experimental study of the pore saturation of methane hydrate in sediments from a hydrate reservoir in the Eastern Nankai Trough have been carried out. In total, eleven samples, comprising sand, silty sand, silt, and representative of the main sediment types identified in the Eastern Nankai trough, were tested. The results obtained clearly indicate a particle size and clay content dependent trend: almost 100% of pores were saturated with methane hydrate in sand when little silt and clay were present, decreasing to ~ 13% in silty sand (sand 54%, silt 41% and clay 5%), and ~ 4% in clayey silt. These results are generally consistent with NMR logging results for high-saturation samples, but somewhat different for samples with medium or low saturation levels.

description: Let p be an odd prime. Suppose that E is a modular elliptic curve/Q with good ordinary reduction at p. Let Q_{oo} denote the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of Q. It is conjectured that Sel_E(Q_{oo}) is a cotorsion Lambda-module and that its characteristic ideal is related to the p-adic L-function associated to E. Under certain hypotheses we prove that the validity of these conjectures is preserved by congruences between the Fourier expansions of the associated modular forms.

description: As a continuation of our previous work, which concerned the radial abundance distribution in the galactic disc over the distances 4-10 kpc this paper presents the first results on the metallicicty in the outer disc (RG > 10 kpc). Based on high-resolution spectra obtained for 19 distant Cepheids we sampled galactocentric distances from 10 to 12 kpc. Combined with the results of our previous work on the inner and middle parts of the galactic disc, the present data enable one to study the structure of the radial abundance distribution over a large baseline. In particular, we find indications of a discontinuity in the radial abundance distribution for iron as well as a number of the other elements. The discontinuity is seen at a galactocentric distance RG = 10 kpc. This finding supports the results reported earlier by Twarog et al. (1997).

description: We study the adiabatic dynamics of degenerate quantum states induced by loop paths in a control parameter space. The latter correspond to noisy trajectories if the system is weakly coupled to environmental modes. On top of conventional dynamic dephasing, we find a universal non-Abelian geometric dephasing (NAGD) contribution and express it in terms of the non-Abelian Berry connection and curvature. We show that NAGD implies either decay or amplification of coherences as compared to the coherences when only dynamic dephasing is present. The full NAGD matrix structure can be probed through interference experiments. We outline such a detection scheme for modified Majorana braiding setups.

From the so called dispersionless Lax representation of these equations we obtain three compatible Hamiltonian structures. The second and third Hamiltonian structures are calculated directly from the r-matrix approach. Since the third structure is not related recursively with the first two ones the generalized dispersionless KdV hierarchy can be characterized as a truly tri-Hamiltonian system.

We prove optimality of the lower bound for $δ\to 1^{-}$. We prove a conjectured upper bound on the asymptotic gap between two consecutive Virasoro primaries for a central charge greater than $1,$ demonstrating it to be $1.$ Furthermore, a systematic method is provided to establish a limit on how tight the bound on the $O(1)$ correction to the Cardy formula can be made using bandlimited functions. The techniques and the functions used here are of generic importance whenever the Tauberian theorems are used to estimate some physical quantities.

description: Communication is a ubiquitous component of life. While complexity and sophistication vary, both unicellular and multicellular organisms constantly interact with their environment. Unicellular organisms, once thought to be asocial, have since been demonstrated to display a multitude of social interactions and hierarchies. For example, quorum sensing enables a bacterial population to modulate gene expression in response to cell-population density, initiating social behavior and the exchange of resources. In eukaryotes, unicellular ascomycete fungi use mating GPCRs to detect secreted peptide pheromones, initiating changes in gene expression required for mating. An overview of communication in unicellular organisms is presented in Chapter 1. In general, these communication systems are characterized by a high degree of fidelity, and as such have been harvested by synthetic biologists to organize communication in synthetic systems. Quorum sensing modules have been employed for pattern formation and to coordinate biosynthesis processes across a community. However, fungal mating remains underutilized as a source of synthetic biology tools. In this dissertation, we leverage fungal mating G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their peptide ligands to build responsive yeast systems. We use genome-mining to identify additional fungal peptide-GPCR pairs, which are then characterized in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In Chapter 2, we exploit the high specificity and sensitivity of fungal mating GPCRs to design a yeast whole-cell biosensor that produces a visible output in response to detection of peptide biomarkers. In Chapter 3, we genome-mine additional peptide-GPCR pairs and use them as orthogonal signaling channels to build synthetic yeast communities. Finally, in Chapter 4, we use these synthetic yeast communities to provide sense-and-respond capabilities to an Engineered Living Material (ELM).

description: Water scarcity has required constant water recycling, leading to a decline in water quality, further exacerbated by high concentrations of fine particles that reduce the efficiency of solid-liquid separation systems. Inclined settlers offer a viable secondary treatment option for high-turbidity water. Effective design requires understanding of operational conditions, geometry, and suspension properties. Using OpenFOAM, computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed for a continuous inclined countercurrent conduit to assess the influence of inlet particle concentration on efficiency, exploring various Surface Overflow Rates (SOR) and inclination angles. The results show that the steady state in which the flow settles is strongly dependent on the particle concentration. For very low particle concentrations, the flow is mostly stationary with little to no resuspension of particles. Increasingly unstable regimes are observed to emerge as the inlet concentration increases, leading to increased particle resuspension. Instabilities arise from overhanging zones at the tip of the suspension, generating recirculation zones that enlarge the resuspension region and induce entrainment within the bulk suspension. Shear instabilities become noticeable at large particle concentrations, further increasing resuspension. Different regimes were identified, influenced by the SOR and the inclination angles. Additionally, a Reynolds number characterizing these systems is proposed alongside a scale analysis. The findings highlight particle concentration as a critical parameter in inclined plate settler design.

Contesting Imperial Feminisms: The Life of an Early Twentieth Century Egyptian Activist
Creators: name: Ruhl, Bella
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2021

description: In “Contesting Imperial Feminisms: The Life of an Early Twentieth Century Egyptian Activist,” I make the argument that first-wave Egyptian feminism was inextricably bound to nationalist discourses, and was both produced whole-cloth and adapted from European models by Egyptian activists in response to changing economic and political conditions. Using the life and political work of Huda Sha'arawi, a women’s rights activist and nationalist who lived during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, I complicate the euro-centric view that feminism in Egypt was the result of western intervention and was uncritically adopted by colonized women. Instead I try to draw attention to the ways in which Sha'arawi and her comrades formulated a feminism predicated on decolonial liberation and indigenous values, while navigating the political realities of British colonialism and industrialized modernity. A microhistorical study with far-reaching implications, this article analyzes Sha'arawi’s rhetoric and actions, including her performative political unveiling, to gain a deeper understanding of the political contributions of early twentieth century Egyptian feminism. My objective is to return some agency to intersectional actors whose politics have been unjustly framed within the historiography as derivative of (white, European) feminist and (patriarchal) nationalist frameworks.

Making Patagonia an “Australian Argentina” and making the Amazon tightly Brazilian: depictions and political projects in Roberto Payró’s and Euclides da Cunha’s travel writings (1898, 1904-1905)
Creators: name: De Oliveira Camassa, José Bento

description: The Patagonia and Acre territories were not part of Argentina and Brazil respectively by the time of their independences in the early nineteenth century. Instead, they were annexed during the Latin American Belle Époque, when both countries ascended economically and geopolitically and bore frontier impulses. Therefore, the incorporation of these territories was founded upon broader endeavors of national expansion and development. With these aspirations in their luggage, the Argentine journalist Roberto Payró traveled to Patagonia in 1898, while the Brazilian essayist Euclides da Cunha journeyed to Acre and the West Amazon in 1904-1905. Using a comparative history approach, this article shows how their travel writings debated modernizing and territorial integration projects and echoed similar plans, as both regions faced resemblant challenges. It also demonstrates how Payró’s and Cunha’s beliefs about race and national identity contrasted, a point that is linked to different mainstream ideas in Argentine and Brazilian intellectual debates, entailing dissonant points of view over which groups of people should ultimately populate Patagonia and Acre.

description: We construct quantum Separation of Variables (SoV) bases for both the fundamental inhomogeneous $gl_{\mathcal{M}|\mathcal{N}}$ supersymmetric integrable models and for the inhomogeneous Hubbard model both defined with quasi-periodic twisted boundary conditions given by twist matrices having simple spectrum. The SoV bases are obtained by using the integrable structure of these quantum models,i.e. the associated commuting transfer matrices, following the general scheme introduced in [1]; namely, they are given by set of states generated by the multiple action of the transfer matrices on a generic co-vector. The existence of such SoV bases implies that the corresponding transfer matrices have non degenerate spectrum and that they are diagonalizable with simple spectrum if the twist matrices defining the quasi-periodic boundary conditions have that property. Moreover, in these SoV bases the resolution of the transfer matrix eigenvalue problem leads to the resolution of the full spectral problem, i.e. both eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Indeed, to any eigenvalue is associated the unique (up to a trivial overall normalization) eigenvector whose wave-function in the SoV bases is factorized into products of the corresponding transfer matrix eigenvalue computed on the spectrum of the separate variables. As an application, we characterize completely the transfer matrix spectrum in our SoV framework for the fundamental $gl_{1|2}$ supersymmetric integrable model associated to a special class of twist matrices. From these results we also prove the completeness of the Bethe Ansatz for that case. The complete solution of the spectral problem for fundamental inhomogeneous $gl_{\mathcal{M}|\mathcal{N}}$ supersymmetric integrable models and for the inhomogeneous Hubbard model under the general twisted boundary conditions will be addressed in a future publication.

description: This article argues that theatre in colonial India-both in the form of touring companies and amateur dramatics-offered much more than mere entertainment: first, it was an important social space where the British diaspora constituted itself as a community. Secondly, it served as a lifeline to the home country. By watching theatrical performances either brought to them straight from London or which they performed themselves, colonial Britons felt in touch with their homeland. Finally, theatre not only allowed colonial audiences to participate in the metropolitan culture; it inadvertently helped to unify the British empire. Whether living in London, the provinces, or a colonial city, all British subjects consumed the same popular culture, forming in effect one big taste community. Theatre, therefore, lends itself to a discussion of central issues of imperial history, as, for example, the relationship between the metropolitan centre and the imperial periphery, the colonial public sphere, social and racial hierarchies, the perception of the 'Other', and processes of cross-cultural exchange and appropriation.
Population effects on the red giant clump absolute magnitude: The K-band

description: We present a detailed analysis of the behaviour of the Red Clump K-band absolute magnitude (M(K,RC)) in simple and composite stellar populations, in light of its use as standard candle for distance determinations. The advantage of using M(K,RC), following recent empirical calibrations of its value for the solar neighbourhood, arises from its very low sensitivity to the extinction by interstellar dust. We provide data and equations which allow the determination of the K-band population correction Delta(M(K,RC)) (difference between the Red Clump brightness in the solar neighbourhood and in the population under scrutiny) for any generic stellar population. These data complement the results presented in Girardi & Salaris(2001) for the V- and I-band. We show how data from galactic open clusters consistently support our predicted Delta(M(V,RC)), Delta(M(I,RC)) and Delta(M(K,RC)) values. Multiband VIK population corrections for various galaxy systems are provided. They can be used in conjunction with the method devised by Alves et al.(2002), in order to derive simultaneously reddening and distance from the use of VIK observations of Red Clump stars. We have positively tested this technique on the Galactic globular cluster 47Tuc, for which both an empirical parallax-based main sequence fitting distance and reddening estimates exist. We have also studied the case of using only V and I photometry, recovering consistent results for both reddening and distance. Application of this method to an OGLE-II field, and the results by Alves et al.(2002), confirm a LMC distance modulus of about 18.50, in agreement with the HST extragalactic distance scale zero-point.

description: Modeling of the onset of permafrost formation and succeeding gas hydrate formation in the changing surface temperature environment has been done for the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin (BMB). Numerical 1D modeling is constrained by deep heat flow from deep well bottom hole temperatures, deep conductivity, present permafrost thickness and thickness of Type I gas hydrates. Latent heat effects were applied to the model for the entire ice bearing permafrost and Type I hydrate intervals. Modeling for a set of surface temperature forcing during the glacial-interglacial history including the last 14 Myr, the detailed Holocene temperature history and a consideration of future warming due to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 was performed. Two scenarios of gas formation were considered; case 1: formation of gas hydrate from gas entrapped under deep geological seals and case 2: formation of gas hydrate from gas in a free pore space simultaneously with permafrost formation. In case 1, gas hydrates could have formed at a depth of about 0.9 km only some 1 Myr ago. In case 2, the first gas hydrate formed in the depth range of 290 – 300 m shortly after 6 Myr ago when the GST dropped from -4.5 °C to -5.5. °C. The gas hydrate layer started to expand both downward and upward subsequently. More detailed modeling of the more recent glacial–interglacial history and extending into the future was done for both BMB onshore and offshore models. These models show that the gas hydrate zone, while thinning will persist under the thick body of BMB permafrost through the current interglacial warming and into the future even with a doubling of atmospheric CO2.

description: Genus MATUANUS Gorochov
 Matuanus Gorochov, 1986: 705.
 Type species: Matuanus priapus (Saussure, 1878).
 REMARKS. — The definition of Matuanus has been reviewed in previous papers (Otte et al. 1987; Desutter-Grandcolas 1997b; Gorochov 2003). Here we describe four new species and add information on male FW venation and female genitalia for 6 of the 8 existing species.
 INCLUDED SPECIES. — M. azurensis n. sp.; M. bicolor n. sp.; M. bruneonervus n. sp.; M. caledonicus (Saussure, 1878); M. elegans Otte, 1987; M. flavomaculatus Gorochov, 1986; M. mirabilis Desutter-Grandcolas, 1997; M. neoplumus Otte, 1987; M. priapus (Saussure, 1878); M. rectinervus n. sp.; M. rufidulus (Saussure, 1878); M. rufomaculatus Gorochov, 2003.
 As mentioned by Gorochov (2003), three species were erroneously included in this genus by Otte (1994): Munda basimaculata Chopard, 1951, M. punctata Chopard, 1951, and Adenopterus saussurei (Chopard, 1915). These errors have been reported in the online data base Orthoptera Species File Online 2 (Eades et al. 2008), and need be corrected. In the same way, all species from the genus Munda Stål, 1877 have been duplicated into the genus Matuanus.

description: The principal pivot transform (PPT) of a matrix A partitioned relative to an invertible leading principal submatrix is a matrix B such that A [x_1^T x_2^T]^T = [y_1^T y_2^T]^T if and only if B [y_1^T x_2^T]^T = [x_1^T y_2^T]^T, where all vectors are partitioned conformally to A. The purpose of this paper is to survey the properties and manifestations of PPTs relative to arbitrary principal submatrices, make some new observations, present and possibly motivate further applications of PPTs in matrix theory. We pay special attention to PPTs of matrices whose principal minors are positive.

description: This thesis describes the effect of geometries with controlled radius of curvature on cellular behavior, a novel approach to measure and map protrusive forces in cells and the application of fabrication techniques like wet etching and microcontact printing to answer fundamental biological problems. In order to isolate the effects of curvature from other factors, we have developed a technique to create features with nominally identical dimensions but varying radius of curvature. Using these substrates, we analyzed the effect of curvature on cell morphology. Cell area and aspect ratio were examined on various substrates, and immunostaining of focal adhesions, stress fibers and microtubules were used to show the effect of curvature on these cytoskeleton components. We show that feature curvature has an effect on both cell morphology and cytoskeleton organization. Using this technique, it may be possible to engineer precise geometries that can lead to better design of scaffolds and biomaterials for tissue engineering. The motivation behind measuring cellular forces was two fold, first to measure the protrusive forces locally and with spatial resolution and second to measure them at the same time as traction forces. This is important because cell motility is a result of forces generated within a cell and various biological processes like cancer metastasis, wound healing and immune response are a result of cell motility. Thus, measuring theses forces precisely and simultaneously will help us designing and develop devices that can have application in cancer diagnostics and wound healing therapies. The magnitude of protrusive force measured was 1.0 nN and traction force was computed to be 2.7 nN. Furthermore we also estimated the number of actin filaments per micron square which agree with previously reported values thus confirming the accuracy of this method. The approach presented here is the first study to simultaneously measure the protrusive and traction forces in cells. In chapter 4, I describe in detail the fabrication process for making high aspect ratio grooves and ridges by wet etching Silicon using boiling potassium hydroxide. The etched substrates were used as imprint masters and were faithfully replicated and molded in a silicone elastomer. Next the substrates were plasma fluorinated and used to form elastomer stamps for microcontact printing and other applications requiring easy mold release. In chapter 5, I have used microcontact printing to fabricate substrates to help us understand plasma membrane dynamics. The role of plasma membrane (PM) area as a critical factor during cell motility is poorly understood, mainly due to an inability to precisely follow PM area dynamics. To address this fundamental question, we developed static and dynamic assays to follow PM area changes during fibroblast spreading.

description: It has been a longstanding goal in computer vision to describe the 3D physical space in terms of parameterized volumetric models that would allow autonomous machines to understand and interact with their surroundings. Such models are typically motivated by human visual perception and aim to represents all elements of the physical word ranging from individual objects to complex scenes using a small set of parameters. One of the de facto stadards to approach this problem are superquadrics - volumetric models that define various 3D shape primitives and can be fitted to actual 3D data (either in the form of point clouds or range images). However, existing solutions to superquadric recovery involve costly iterative fitting procedures, which limit the applicability of such techniques in practice. To alleviate this problem, we explore in this paper the possibility to recover superquadrics from range images without time consuming iterative parameter estimation techniques by using contemporary deep-learning models, more specifically, convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We pose the superquadric recovery problem as a regression task and develop a CNN regressor that is able to estimate the parameters of a superquadric model from a given range image. We train the regressor on a large set of synthetic range images, each containing a single (unrotated) superquadric shape and evaluate the learned model in comparaitve experiments with the current state-of-the-art. Additionally, we also present a qualitative analysis involving a dataset of real-world objects. The results of our experiments show that the proposed regressor not only outperforms the existing state-of-the-art, but also ensures a 270x faster execution time.
