"Legislators and Interpreters": Le Malheur of Deconstructionism

description: When Jacques Derrida accuses the project of the Enlightenment of being totalitarian, illusive, racist, imperialist, devoid of any intellectual merit and moral ground, Jürgen Habermas unexpectedly responds that Derrida’s deconstruction represents a betrayal of what was best known about the Enlightenment since it undermines reason, destroys universality, and renounces the hope of any emancipation. Derrida, from a modern viewpoint, fails to provide norms of judgment, misunderstands the foundations of the Enlightenment, and shows no critical responsibility; while modernity, in Derrida’s logic, is philosophically inconsistent and authoritarian in nature. If the Enlightenment is worse, deconstructionism is more than worse. Deconstructionism, in line with this, appears to have a “tragic fate” since one could no more tell when it has begun and where and how it is has been developing. Deploying an archeological method and a genealogical design, this paper offers an epistemic digging into the structures of thoughts that rest behind Derrida’s deconstructionism. Differently put, it addresses deconstructionism in relationship with its descendants. The concepts of Enlightenment, modernity, postmodernity, philosophy, literature, post-theory, or the demise of theory become fundamental to trace the trajectory and the development of Derrida’s thinking. The legacy of metaphysics has turned out to be the legislator for deconstructionism, and Derrida has functioned as a rebellious interpreter and hunter to history itself.

description: We present a study of the normal state optical conductivity in the cuprate superconductors using the nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquid (NAFL) description of the magnetic interaction between their planar quasiparticles. We find that the highly anisotropic scattering rate in different regions of the Brillouin zone, both as a function of frequency and temperature, a benchmark of NAFL theory, leads to an average relaxation rate of the Marginal Fermi Liquid form for overdoped and optimally doped systems, as well as for underdoped systems at high temperatures. We carry out numerical calculations of the optical conductivity for several compounds for which the input spin fluctuation parameters are known. Our results, which are in agreement with experiment on both overdoped and optimally doped systems, show that NAFL theory explains the anomalous optical behavior found in these cuprate superconductors.

description: Black hole generalized p-brane solutions for a wide class of intersection rules are presented. The solutions are defined on a manifold that contains a product of n - 1 Ricci-flat internal spaces. They are defined up to moduli functions H_s = H_s(R) obeying a non-linear differential equations (equivalent to Toda-type equations) with certain boundary conditions imposed. Using conjecture on polynomial structure of H_s for intersections related to Lie algebras, new A_2-dyon solutions are obtained. Two examples of these A_2-dyon solutions, i.e. dyon in D = 11 supergravity with M2 and M5 branes intersecting at a point and dyon in Kaluza-Klein theory, are considered.

description: Recent data point in the direction of a $Λ$ dominated universe. We briefly review ``Quintessence'' as a model for a dynamical cosmological term and analyse the role of Susy QCD as a possible particle physics candidate. The multiscalar content of the theory is fully taken into account and interaction with other cosmological fields is discussed. Finally, the possibility of constructing a unified scheme for quintessence and inflation is mentioned.

description: Background: To determine the association of maternal and fetal inflammatory factors with gender-specific infant adiposity, independent of leptin. Methods: Analysis of anthropometry from 265 mother–infant pairs at birth and 280 pairs at 6 months from the randomised control trial of low glycaemic index diet in pregnancy (ROLO) study (Randomised control trial of low glycaemic index diet) and their association with Maternal TNF-alpha, interleukin 6 and leptin as measured in early and late pregnancy and fetal levels in cord blood. Results: No associations were noted in the male cohort. On multiple regression amongst the female neonatal cohort late pregnancy IL-6 was inversely associated with sum of skinfolds (p ≤ .001); at 6 months infant sum of skinfolds were positively associated with early pregnancy IL-6 (p = .046) and central adiposity positively associated with early pregnancy TNF alpha (p = .018) independent of leptin. Conclusion: Although maternal inflammatory cytokines were not associated with neonatal adiposity independent of leptin (as this association is known), both IL-6 and TNF-α were associated with female infant anthropometry at 6 months of age independent of leptin. These results suggest inflammatory cytokines may exert an in-utero influence on later infant adiposity with a tendency to influence female adiposity more than male. Further research is required to ascertain whether these cytokines may be used as reliable early predictors of infant adiposity.

description: The problem of constructing confidence regions for the median in the nonparametric measurement error model (NMEM) is considered. This problem arises in many settings, including inference about the median lifetime of a complex system arising in engineering, reliability, biomedical, and public health settings. Current methods of constructing CRs are discussed, including the T-statistic based CR and the Wilcoxon signed-rank statistic based CR, arguably the two default methods in applied work when a confidence interval about the center of a distribution is desired. Optimal equivariant CRs are developed with focus on subclasses of of the class of all distributions. Applications to a real car mileage efficiency data set and Proschan's air-conditioning data set are demonstrated. Simulation studies to compare the performances of the different CR methods were undertaken. Results of these studies indicate that the sign-statistic based CR and the optimal CR focused on symmetric distributions satisfy the confidence level requirement, though they tended to have higher contents; while two of the bootstrap-based CR procedures and one of the developed adaptive CR tended to be a tad more liberal but with smaller contents. A critical recommendation is that, under the NMEM, both the T-statistic based and Wilcoxon signed-rank statistic based confidence regions should not be used since they have degraded confidence levels and/or inflated contents.

description: Для производства ликероводочных изделий широко используется растительное сырье, обладающее богатым химическим составом, включающим различные микроэлементы, эфирные масла, органические кислоты, углеводы. Это обуславливает сложный химический состав готовой продукции и требует комплексного подхода к контролю ее качества. Ионный состав во многом определяет качество и безопасность готовой продукции, а также влияет на ее стойкость при хранении. В представленной работе был исследован ионный состав ликероводочной продукции разных производителей. На основании обзора зарубежных исследований были подобраны условия хроматографического анализа и проанализированы 12 образцов ликероводочной продукции с осадком и без осадка. Было установлено, что ионный состав исследованных образцов представлен в основном катионами натрия, калия, кальция и магния и анионами хлоридов, нитратов, фосфатов и сульфатов, массовые концентрации которых колеблются в широких пределах, что объясняется богатым микроэлементным составом растительных компонентов, спецификой рецептур ликероводочных изделий и особенностями водоподготовки разных производителей. Было выявлено, что одной из основных причин ухудшения качества ликероводочных изделий стало повышенное содержание ионов кальция и магния. В некоторых образцах, наоборот, была исключена связь катионно-анионного состава с осадкообразованием. Таким образом, метод ионной хроматографии является незаменимым современным аналитическим инструментом в контроле качества готовой продукции. Его применение позволяет своевременно выявлять и устранять причины образования помутнений и осадков в ликероводочной продукции в процессе хранения, тем самым повышая эффективность технохимического контроля качества спиртных напитков.

For arbitrary $\la$, the model describes an exclusion process, in which a particle pushes its right neighbouring particles to the right, with rates depending on the number of these particles. Using the Bethe ansatz, we obtain the exact solution of the master equation .

description: The van der Waals liquid orthoterphenyl has long been used as a model system in the study of the glass transition. Motivated by mode-coupling theory, extensive experiments have been undertaken to monitor the onset of structural relaxation on microscopic time and length scales. Using in particular quasielastic neutron scattering, the decay of density and tagged-particle correlations has been measured as a function of temperature, pressure and wave number. A consistent picture is developped in which the mode-coupling singularity appears as a change of transport mechanism in the moderately viscous liquid, at temperatures far above the conventional (caloric) glass transition.

description: Scalar fields with inverse power-law effective potentials may provide a negative pressure component to the energy density of the universe today, as required by cosmological observations. In order to be cosmologically relevant today, the scalar field should have a mass $m_ϕ= O(10^{-33} {\mathrm eV})$, thus potentially inducing sizable violations of the equivalence principle and space-time variations of the coupling constants. Scalar-tensor theories of gravity provide a framework for accommodating phenomenologically acceptable ultra-light scalar fields. We discuss non-minimally coupled scalar-tensor theories in which the scalar-matter coupling is a dynamical quantity. Two attractor mechanisms are operative at the same time: one towards the tracker solution, which accounts for the accelerated expansion of the Universe, and one towards general relativity, which makes the ultra-light scalar field phenomenologically safe today. As in usual tracker-field models, the late-time behavior is largely independent on the initial conditions. Strong distortions in the cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectra as well as in the matter power spectrum are expected.

description: Globally, ischaemic heart disease is a major contributor to premature morbidity and mortality. A significant number of young Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients (aged <55 y) have subsequent cardiac events within a year of their index event. This study used Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methylation to understand the pathogenesis in this subset of young MI patients, comparing them to a cohort of patients without recurrent events. Cases and controls were matched for age, gender, ethnicity, and comorbidities. Differential methylation analyses were performed on Reduced Representation Bisulphite Sequencing (RRBS) data. Across the group and within case–control pairs’ variation were analysed. Pairwise comparisons across each matched case–control pair resulted in a list of genes that were consistently significantly differentially methylated between all 16 matched pairs. This gene list was input into pathway analysis databases. Of particular relevance to cardiac pathology the following pathways were identified as over-represented in the patients with recurrent events; cell adhesion, transcription regulation and cardiac electrical conduction, specifically relating to calcium channel activity. This study looked at methylation differences between two populations of young MI patients. There were significantly different methylation profiles between the two groups studied; key pathways were identified as specifically affected in the patients with recurrent cardiac events. Matched pairwise comparisons and detailed interpretations of DNA methylation data may help to elucidate complex pathogeneses within and between clinical subtypes. Further analysis will determine whether these epigenomic differences can be useful as predictive biomarkers of clinical progression.

description: We propose a novel method for the determination of the effective interaction potential between the amino acids of a protein. The strategy is based on the combination of a new optimization procedure and a geometrical argument, which also uncovers the shortcomings of any optimization procedure. The strategy can be applied on any data set of native structures such as those available from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). In this work, however, we explain and test our approach on simple lattice models, where the true interactions are known a priori. Excellent agreement is obtained between the extracted and the true potentials even for modest numbers of protein structures in the PDB. Comparisons with other methods are also discussed.

description: The vanadates VO$_2$ and V$_2$O$_3$ are prototypical examples of strongly correlated materials that exhibit a metal-insulator transition. While the phase transitions in these materials have been studied extensively, there is a limited understanding of how the properties of these materials are affected by the presence of defects and doping. In this study we investigate the impact of native point defects in the form of Frenkel defects on the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of VO$_2$ and V$_2$O$_3$, using first-principles calculations. In VO$_2$ the vanadium Frenkel pairs lead to a non-trivial insulating state. The unpaired vanadium interstitial bonds to a single dimer, which leads to a trimer that has one singlet state and one localized single-electron $S=1/2$ state. The unpaired broken dimer created by the vanadium vacancy also has a localized $S=1/2$ state. Thus, the insulating state is created by the singlet dimers, the trimer and the two localized $S=1/2$ states. Oxygen Frenkel pairs, on the other hand, lead to a metallic state in VO$_2$, but are expected to be present in much lower concentrations. In contrast, the Frenkel defects in V$_2$O$_3$ do not directly suppress the insulating character of the material. However, the disorder created by defects in V$_2$O$_3$ alters the local magnetic moments and in turn reduces the energy cost of a transition between the insulating and conducting phases of the material. We also find self-trapped small polarons in V$_2$O$_3$, which has implications for transport properties in the insulating phase.

description: We have studied both experimentally and theoretically the surface pressure isotherms of copolymers of polystyrene-polyethyleneoxide (PS-PEO) at the air-water interface. The SCMF (single chain mean-field) theory provides a very good agreement with the experiments for the entire range of surface densities and shows that the adsorption energy per PEO monomer at the air-water interface is about one $k_B T$. In addition, the chain density profile has been calculated for a variety of surface densities, from the dilute to the very dense ones. The SCMF approach has been complemented by a mean-field approach in the low density regime, where the PEO chains act as a two-dimensional layer. Both theoretical calculations agree with the experiments in this region.

description: Web applications are relied upon by many for the services they provide. It is essential that applications implement appropriate security measures to prevent security incidents. Currently, web applications focus resources towards the preventative side of security. Whilst prevention is an essential part of the security process, developers must also implement a level of attack awareness into their web applications. Being able to detect when an attack is occurring provides applications with the ability to execute responses against malicious users in an attempt to slow down or deter their attacks. This research seeks to improve web application security by identifying malicious behaviour from within the context of web applications using our tool BlackWatch. The tool is a Python-based application which analyses suspicious events occurring within client web applications, with the objective of identifying malicious patterns of behaviour. Based on the results from a preliminary study, BlackWatch was effective at detecting attacks from both authenticated, and unauthenticated users. Furthermore, user tests with developers indicated BlackWatch was user friendly, and was easy to integrate into existing applications. Future work seeks to develop the BlackWatch solution further for public release.

Exactly-embedded multiconfigurational self-consistent field theory using density matrix embedding: the localized active space self-consistent field method

description: Density matrix embedding theory (DMET) is a fully quantum-mechanical embedding method which shows great promise as a method of defeating the inherent exponential cost scaling of multiconfigurational wave function-based calculations by breaking large systems into smaller, coupled subsystems. However, we recently [JCTC 2018, 14, 1960] encountered evidence that the single-determinantal bath picture inherent to DMET is sometimes problematic when the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) is used as a solver and the method is applied to realistic models of strongly-correlated molecules. Here, we show this problem can be defeated by generalizing DMET to use a multiconfigurational wave function as a bath without sacrificing attractive features of DMET, such as a second-quantized embedded subsystem Hamiltonian, by dividing the active space into unentangled active subspaces each localized to one fragment. We introduce the term localized active space (LAS) to refer to this kind of wave function. We obtain the LAS wave function by the DMET algorithm itself self-consistently, and we name this approach the localized active space self-consistent field (LASSCF) method. LASSCF exploits a modified DMET algorithm, but it requires no ambiguous error function minimization, produces a wave function with exact embedding, is variational, and reproduces CASSCF where comparable DMET calculations fail. Our results for test calculations on the nitrogen double-bond dissociation potential energy curves of several diazene molecules suggest that LASSCF can be an appropriate starting point for a perturbative treatment. Outside of the context of embedding, LAS is an attractive alternative to a CAS wave function because its cost scaling is exponential only with respect to the size of individual fragment active subspaces, rather than the whole active space of the entire system.

description: We derive power spectra of the scalar- and tensor-type structures generated in an inflation model based on a massive non-minimally coupled scalar field with the strong coupling assumption. We make analyses in both the original-frame and the conformally transformed Einstein-frame. We derive contributions of both structures to the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, and compare the contributions with the four-year COBE-DMR data. Previous study showed that sufficient amount of inflation requires a small coupling parameter. In such a case the spectra become near Zeldovich spectra, and the gravitational wave contribution becomes negligible compared with the scalar-type contribution which is testable in future CMBR experiments.

description: Community participation in various stages of tourism development cannot be neglected for any type of destination to be flourished, as the new forms of tourism seek both the satisfaction of tourists as well as the locals. Moreover, involving the local people in destination planning, creating sufficient employment opportunities especially for the local youths, educating the local residents about the consequences of tourism on nature and natural resources, ensuring overall socio-economic growth and environmental protection etc. are essential for the sustainable development of any protected area. In this study, the authors have chosen Ranthambore National Park, located in Rajasthan as a case study (1) to explore the present status of tourism in terms of sustainable, ecotourism, and nature based tourism, (2) to highlight the community role and their involvement in resource management and conservation activities, and (3) to investigate the Government’s and local NGOs’ role in connecting the host community to various conservation and development practices in this protected land, which is also a prominent tourist destination in Rajasthan. The study is based on both primary and secondary data - collected from site and from different published research articles, book chapters, Rajasthan government policies, reports, tourism policies, NGOs’ reports, articles on Ranthambore National Park, official websites of Rajasthan Tourism and the respective national park. Qualitative approach has been adopted for collecting the empirics of the paper. The findings reveal that the supportive nature of the local people in resource management & forest protection, and the positive measures taken by Rajasthan Government and the Local NGOs to promote this protected area as an eco-tourism hub and to conserve its natural resources through different community based initiatives, schemes and policies; ultimately help in making the pathway of sustainable ecotourism development. The study also points out that (1) implementing realistic ecotourism plan to overcome the lack of coordination between public and private sectors, and (2) increasing the level of literacy in this area, as well as making local people more aware of the importance and realities of nature conservation should be considered as the main priorities to accelerate the level of participation in future course of time.

description: Objectives: Though there is a growing body of literature on crash risks in the developed world, little is known about how well these models apply to motoring in developing countries, the context in which the majority of road traffic fatalities occur. This qualitative study explores factors perceived to influence crash risks for commercial drivers in Ghana. Method: Twenty commercial drivers of varied ages and experience were sampled from 7 major lorry terminals in 3 regions (Greater Accra, Ashanti, and Volta) of Ghana. Data were collected through semistructured interviews. Results: The participants identified some issues that are shared with drivers in the developed world, though moderated by the Ghanaian context. These included work pressures (e.g., fatigued driving), speeding, distracted driving, and inadequate vehicle maintenance. Other factors identified by participants are less frequently considered in research addressing driving behavior in developed countries. These included aggressive competition over passengers and corruption (e.g., improper licensing practices), among others. Conclusion: The findings have implications for building a research base to support the development of road safety policy and interventions in developing countries.

description: The richness that characterizes relationships is often absent when they are modeled using computational methods in network science. Typically, relationships are represented simply as links, perhaps with weights. The lack of finer granularity is due in part to the fact that, aside from linkage and strength, no fundamental or immediately obvious dimensions exist along which to categorize relationships. Here we propose a set of dimensions that capture major components of many relationships -- derived both from relevant academic literature and people's everyday descriptions of their relationships. We first review prominent findings in sociology and social psychology, highlighting dimensions that have been widely used to categorize social relationships. Next, we examine the validity of these dimensions empirically in two crowd-sourced experiments. Ultimately, we arrive at a set of ten major dimensions that can be used to categorize relationships: similarity, trust, romance, social support, identity, respect, knowledge exchange, power, fun, and conflict. These ten dimensions, while not dispositive, offer higher resolution than existing models. Indeed, we show that one can more accurately predict missing links in a social graph by using these dimensions than by using a state-of-the-art link embeddedness method. We also describe tinghy.org, an online platform we built to collect data about how social media users perceive their online relationships, allowing us to examine these dimensions at scale. Overall, by proposing a new way of modeling social graphs, our work aims to contribute both to theory in network science and practice in the design of social-networking applications.

Influence of vortex street structure on the efficiency of energy separation

description: Regions with reduced and increased values of total enthalpy are observed in a time-averaged flow behind a bluff body. This energy redistribution takes place both in the vortex formation region and in the developed vortex wake. The present paper focuses on studying the effect of the structure of a vortex street on the intensity of energy redistribution. Two approaches are used. The first one is direct numerical simulation of the flow behind a transversely oscillating cylinder, which is known for a variety of vortex patterns in the wake. The simulations are based on a finite element solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for a compressible perfect viscous gas. The second approach is based on simplified point vortex models for infinite periodic vortex streets, which contain a finite number of vortex chains in equilibrium. It turns out that these simple models make it possible to obtain satisfactory qualitative results, particularly if a more precise approximation of velocity fields in the vortex cores (Rankine vortices) is implemented. It is shown that the effect of energy redistribution significantly depends on the vortex structure, namely the mutual arrangement of the vortices and their intensities. The estimates of the energy separation efficiency in the time-averaged flow are obtained for the general case of an arbitrary number of chains. A more detailed analysis is performed for vortex streets with 2, 3, and 4 vortex chains.

description: There is a continuously increasing demand for using High-Performance-Computing (HPC) infrastructure for solving geoscientific questions in different domains. Fostering the "FAIRness" (referring to the FAIR principles of Wilkinson et al. 2016 - "Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable") of the data generated in HPC calculations is therefore a necessity; however, the sheer size of such data poses a big challenge. In particular, approaches to FAIR data and computing which do not require the complete movevement of extremely big data sets have to be developed.

Here, the Interest Group (IG) "High-performance Computing in Earth System Sciences" within NFDI4Earth (the German National Research Data Infrastructure consortium for Earth System Sciences) presents a concept/working paper, which will receive versioned updates as needed. This is intended as an encouragement to both researchers and infrastructure providers to engage in joint discussions on the further design of work processes, future service offerings and their interaction on the background of the FAIR principles for HPC data. The NFDI4Earth IG High-performance Computing in Earth System Sciences will further promote these discussions in NFDI4Earth and bring them into the framework of the entire NFDI.

description: New kind of differential equations, called local fractional differential equations, has been proposed for the first time. They involve local fractional derivatives introduced recently. Such equations appear to be suitable to deal with phenomena taking place in fractal space and time. A local fractional analog of Fokker-Planck equation has been derived starting from the Chapman-Kolmogorov condition. Such an equation is solved, with a specific choice of the transition probability, and shown to give rise to subdiffusive behavior.
