Interlude I: Great Fishes and Monstrous Men (Shoreline)
Creators: name: Palmer, Megan E.
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2017

description: If we judge by its popular broadsides, early modern England was awash with mon-sters. Broadsides, ephemeral as flotsam, offer tantalizing but fragmentary glimpses of how (and why) monsters were conceived. One such sheet, “a most true and mar-veilous strange wonder” (1568) (see next page), relates how a group of monstrous creatures apprehended in the waters near Ipswich nearly draw a boatful of men out to sea to be “lost and utterlie cast away,” but through God’s will and the industri-ousness of other sailors, the men are saved; the monsters (a group of “wonderfull stronge” “fisshes”) are brought to land, then vanquished and consumed.
Elastically Cooperative Activated Barrier Hopping Theory of Relaxation in Viscous Fluids. I. General Formulation and Application to Hard Sphere Fluids

description: We generalize the force-level Nonlinear Langevin Equation theory of single particle hopping to include collective effects associated with long range elastic distortion of the liquid. The activated alpha relaxation event is of a mixed spatial character, involving two distinct, but inter-related, local and collective barriers. There are no divergences at volume fractions below jamming or temperatures above zero Kelvin. The ideas are first developed and implemented analytically and numerically in the context of hard sphere fluids. In an intermediate volume fraction crossover regime, the local cage process is dominant in a manner consistent with an apparent Arrhenius behavior. The super-Arrhenius collective barrier is more strongly dependent on volume fraction, dominates the highly viscous regime, and is well described by a nonsingular law below jamming. The increase of the collective barrier is determined by the amplitude of thermal density fluctuations, shear modulus or transient localization length, and a growing microscopic jump length. Alpha relaxation time calculations are in good agreement with recent experiments and simulations on dense fluids and suspensions of hard spheres. Comparisons of the theory with elastic models and entropy crisis ideas are explored. The present work provides a foundation for constructing a quasi-universal, fit-parameter-free theory for relaxation in thermal molecular liquids over 14 orders of magnitude in time.

description: Predicting and comparing algorithm performance on graph instances is challenging for multiple reasons. First, there is usually no standard set of instances to benchmark performance. Second, using existing graph generators results in a restricted spectrum of difficulty and the resulting graphs are usually not diverse enough to draw sound conclusions. That is why recent work proposes a new methodology to generate a diverse set of instances by using an evolutionary algorithm. We can then analyze the resulting graphs and get key insights into which attributes are most related to algorithm performance. We can also fill observed gaps in the instance space in order to generate graphs with previously unseen combinations of features. This methodology is applied to the instance space of the Hamiltonian completion problem using two different solvers, namely the Concorde TSP Solver and a multi-start local search algorithm.

description: Breast cancer screening is one of the most common radiological tasks with over 39 million exams performed each year. While breast cancer screening has been one of the most studied medical imaging applications of artificial intelligence, the development and evaluation of the algorithms are hindered due to the lack of well-annotated large-scale publicly available datasets. This is particularly an issue for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) which is a relatively new breast cancer screening modality. We have curated and made publicly available a large-scale dataset of digital breast tomosynthesis images. It contains 22,032 reconstructed DBT volumes belonging to 5,610 studies from 5,060 patients. This included four groups: (1) 5,129 normal studies, (2) 280 studies where additional imaging was needed but no biopsy was performed, (3) 112 benign biopsied studies, and (4) 89 studies with cancer. Our dataset included masses and architectural distortions which were annotated by two experienced radiologists. Additionally, we developed a single-phase deep learning detection model and tested it using our dataset to serve as a baseline for future research. Our model reached a sensitivity of 65% at 2 false positives per breast. Our large, diverse, and highly-curated dataset will facilitate development and evaluation of AI algorithms for breast cancer screening through providing data for training as well as common set of cases for model validation. The performance of the model developed in our study shows that the task remains challenging and will serve as a baseline for future model development.

Implications of single field inflation in general cosmological scenarios on the nature of dark energy given the swampland conjectures

description: Swampland Conjectures have attracted quite some interest in the Cosmological Community. They have been shown to have wide ranging implications , like Constraints on Inflationary Models, Primordial Black Holes etc. to name a few. A particularly revealing insight on dark energy also shows that one can have the dark energy equation of state for a quintessence scenario to be signficantly different than -1 after one takes into account the refined dS conjecture. Another interesting issue with the swampland conjectures is that they have been shown to be incompatible with single field inflationary models in GR based cosmology. In our previous work we have, however, showed that single field inflationary models are quite compatible with swampland conjectures in their usual string theoretic form in a large class of modified cosmological scenarios. Building on that work, we now show that in modified cosmological scenarios where the early universe expansion was driven by single field inflation , one can have the dark energy equation of state to be significantly different from -1 even if we just take into account the original dS conjecture, let alone the refined form of that. We thereby show that one does not need to apply a step function approach towards inflation in order to have an observable distinction between constant and non constant dark energy models in the context of the swampland conjectures.

Interlude II: Great Fishes and Monstrous Men (Undertow)

Year: 2017

description: Back, now, to Ipswich in 1568 — and to a disorientingly dual narrative in which the darker side of shared creaturely vulnerability is hidden, though ever-present, beneath a story of human victory over the monstrous. As we have seen, the strong surface current running through Timothy Granger’s broadside account of the capture of twenty-seven orca concentrates its definition of monstrousness on the size of the captured creatures. Unlike other monster broadsides of its day, it is without an explicit moral: the monsters are used neither to warn against behaviors that cross culturally constructed moral boundaries nor to plead with readers to reform their lives. It is a story of human ascendency. But pulling strongly in the other direc-tion — back to sea, back to the enormity of non-human otherness and to the disturbing darkness of unspeakable human cruelty — the broadside also illustrates the extreme brutality of the men of Ipswich upon encountering their “monsters.” The orca, once finally captured, were hauled in to Ipswich wharf; the largest was tied to a tree. “Som of them,” we learn, “laye upon the wharfe .ii. dayes and a nyght before they weare dead, and yet [the men] strooke them wyth Axes & other weapons to kyll them,” even to the point of their axes breaking on the whales’ “bones hard as stones.” While Granger never remarks upon the merciless brutality he describes at length, it saturates the text. It is likely that these actions were legible as cruelty to many contemporaries, especially those who focused on the creatures as fish first and monsters second.

description: We investigate the formation of dust in a stellar wind during the red-supergiant (RSG) phase of a very massive Population III star with the zero-age main sequence mass of 500 M_sun. We show that, in a carbon-rich wind with a constant velocity, carbon grains can form with a lognormal-like size distribution, and that all of the carbon available for dust formation finally condense into dust for wide ranges of the mass-loss rate ((0.1-3)x10^{-3} M_sun yr^{-1}) and wind velocity (1-100 km s^{-1}). We also find that the acceleration of the wind driven by newly formed dust suppresses the grain growth but still allows more than half of gas-phase carbon to be finally locked up in dust grains. These results indicate that at most 1.7 M_sun of carbon grains can form in total during the RSG phase of 500 M_sun Population III stars. Such a high dust yield could place very massive primordial stars as important sources of dust at the very early epoch of the universe if the initial mass function of Population III stars was top-heavy. We also briefly discuss a new formation scenario of carbon-rich ultra-metal-poor stars considering the feedback from very massive Population III stars.

description: All known organisms encode 20 canonical amino acids by base triplets in the genetic code. The cellular translational machinery produces proteins consisting mainly of these amino acids. Several hundred natural amino acids serve important functions in metabolism, as scaffold molecules, and in signal transduction. New side chains are generated mainly by post-translational modifications, while others have altered backbones, such as the β- or γ-amino acids, or they undergo stereochemical inversion, e.g., in the case of D-amino acids. In addition, the number of non-canonical amino acids has further increased by chemical syntheses. Since many of these non-canonical amino acids confer resistance to proteolytic degradation, they are potential protease inhibitors and tools for specificity profiling studies in substrate optimization and enzyme inhibition. Other applications include in vitro and in vivo studies of enzyme kinetics, molecular interactions and bioimaging, to name a few. Amino acids with bio-orthogonal labels are particularly attractive, enabling various cross-link and click reactions for structure-functional studies. Here, we cover the latest developments in protease research with non-canonical amino acids, which opens up a great potential, e.g., for novel prodrugs activated by proteases or for other pharmaceutical compounds, some of which have already reached the clinical trial stage.
Quickening Sands

description: The Lord of Ravenswood (tragic hero of Sir Walter Scott’s The Bride of Lammermoor) rides to avenge the death of his love. He rashly cuts away from the firmly packed ground where the sand meets the cliffs. He veers across the open expanse of the beach, and vanishes. Quicksand. Lord Ravenswood’s disappearance is abrupt and entire.The beach: a meeting of substances, a mixing, a wearing away. Sand shifts, rubs, drifts. Water flows, spreading itself out over the sand, smoothing, erasing, pulling silty gran-ules with it as it ebbs. The beach is a place of exchange where two substances come together, mix, and separate, each marked by contact with the other. Quicksand is a mixture of these substances — it is both water and sand — and yet it is neither water nor sand. It is a third substance. Undisturbed, sand and water maintain a balance, both present but not distinct, reliant upon the persistence of the other. Agitation alters this relationship separating water from sand; the land moves, ripples, opening a gap into which the walker sinks. Quicksand is both elements and both substances, it is the promise of solid ground and the subsequent rupture of water and sand that, in the case of Lord Ravenswood, swallows a man (and his horse) whole, in an instant. Quicksand is deceptive, unassuming, a perception of solid land that comes to life when stimulated. The separation of sand and water quickens the substance. The ground produces signs of life as the body is absorbed into living ground, becoming part of the landscape.1 Consumed. A monstrous incorporation.
Dispelling the Myth of Patents as Non-Rivalrous Property: Patents as Tools for Allocating Scarce Labor and Resources
Creators: Gruner, Richard S.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Patent laws and legislation
Resource allocation
Intellectual property

description: The view of patents as non-rivalrous property is fundamentally flawed in a key respect that has been largely overlooked in the legal literature. Past scholarship has focused on downstream rivalry regarding the use of patented ideas, while neglecting upstream rivalry regarding the inputs to those ideas in many modern research settings, i.e., the efforts of inventors and the substantial research resources that support them. By reexamining the impacts of patents on allocations of scarce resources, this Article helps to clarify two important roles of patents in modern, large-budget innovation: First, patent-influenced rewards help to attract scarce resources to innovation projects that would otherwise be devoted to alternative ends. Second, patent-influenced rewards provide prioritizing information to persons allocating scarce resources, establishing a basis to compare the relative value of commitments of resources among innovation projects. As innovation projects assume ever larger and more central functions in the United States economy, patents in the areas addressed by this Article will only increase in importance. The function of patents in influencing the allocation of resources to invention production has received remarkably little attention in law review analyses to date. This Article aims to rectify this imbalance and highlight the important functions that patents play in producing innovations valued by the public.

Now, however, I propose holding the mirror up to our own contemporary moment, one much more confident in its relegation of monsters to fiction and much more explicit in its concern for animal welfare.
The Devil in the Details: A Critique of KSR's Unwarranted Reinterpretation of "Person Having Ordinary Skill"

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: In KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., the Supreme Court took it upon itself to comment on the supposed knowledge and capacities of a "person having ordinary skill in the art" as used in 35 U.S.C. § 103. This phrase is a key component of analyzing whether patents are "obvious" and lack sufficient value to justify the award of a patent. The perspective of a "person of ordinary skill in the art" is also used in virtually every meaningful standard in the field of patent law. Despite this significance, the Court felt no need to engage in any sort of structural or statutory analysis of the phrase. Instead, the Court at several points suggested that a "person having ordinary skill in the art" would have qualities that are not apparent from the plain language of the statute - such as creativity and insight beyond their immediate field.It may be that the Court did not realize that its statements regarding "persons having ordinary skill in the art" have significant implications both for patent cases involving obviousness and several other areas of the law. Therefore, this article seeks to fill the gaps left by the Court. By way of background, there is a discussion of the origins and evolution of the United States patent system and the development of the concept of "obviousness" over time. An effort at statutory construction of these terms is then made. The meanings so derived are then compared with the Court's statements in KSR to determine how (or if) they are consonant with precedent. Finally, as KSR is the law of the land, several potential results of a widespread implementation of the Court's views are posited so that the decision's full impact can be appreciated.

description: Building on the elastically collective nonlinear Langevin equation theory developed for hard spheres in the preceding paper I, we propose and implement a quasi-universal theory for the alpha relaxation of thermal liquids based on mapping them to an effective hard sphere fluid via the dimensionless compressibility. The result is a zero adjustable parameter theory that can quantitatively address in a unified manner the alpha relaxation time over 14 or more decades. The theory has no singularities above zero Kelvin, and relaxation in the equilibrium low temperature limit is predicted to be of a roughly Arrhenius form. The two-barrier (local cage and long range collective elastic) description results in a rich dynamic behavior including apparent Arrhenius, narrow crossover and deeply supercooled regimes, and multiple characteristic or crossover times and temperatures of clear physical meaning. Application of the theory to nonpolar molecules, alcohols, rare gases and liquids metals is carried out. Overall, the agreement with experiment is quite good for the temperature dependence of the alpha time, plateau shear modulus and Boson-like peak frequency for van der Waals liquids, though less so for hydrogen-bonding molecules. The theory predicts multiple growing length scales upon cooling, which reflect distinct aspects of the coupled local hopping and cooperative elastic physics. Calculations of an activation volume that grows with cooling, which is correlated with a measure of dynamic cooperativity, agree quantitatively with experiment. Comparisons with elastic, entropy crisis, dynamic facilitation and other approaches are performed, and a fundamental basis for empirically-extracted crossover temperatures is established. The present work sets the stage for addressing distinctive glassy phenomena in polymer melts, and diverse liquids under strong confinement.

description: A cluster of research in Affective Computing suggests that it is possible to infer some characteristics of users' affective states by analyzing their electrophysiological activity in real-time. However, it is not clear how to use the information extracted from electrophysiological signals to create visual representations of the affective states of Virtual Reality (VR) users. Visualization of users' affective states in VR can lead to biofeedback therapies for mental health care. Understanding how to visualize affective states in VR requires an interdisciplinary approach that integrates psychology, electrophysiology, and audio-visual design. Therefore, this review aims to integrate previous studies from these fields to understand how to develop virtual environments that can automatically create visual representations of users' affective states. The manuscript addresses this challenge in four sections: First, theories related to emotion and affect are summarized. Second, evidence suggesting that visual and sound cues tend to be associated with affective states are discussed. Third, some of the available methods for assessing affect are described. The fourth and final section contains five practical considerations for the development of virtual reality environments for affect visualization.

description: We are sinking. We are sinking, as individuals, as participants in a field that is sinking along with us, as members of a species, and as components in a massive, global eco-logical network. But we are not sinking because of the malevolence of natural forces, not because the sand is hungry for us and for our horses, characterized by “malicious intent,” as Erin Vander Wall describes the quicksand in Walter Scott’s The Bride of Lammermoor.1 We are not sinking because whales and monstrous fish want to swallow us whole, not because the strange beings of the sea wish harm on us, nor because the sea itself is vengeful, though “the water comes,”2 and who could blame it? We are sinking because of our collective hunger and callousness. As dwellers in the anthro-pocene, we can already see it all around us. Yes, of course, Venice is sinking.3 More than two decades ago, seemingly alarmist headlines asked questions about Amster-dam’s future like, “Is it time to build another ark?”4 But these cities have been sinking for centuries.

description: In the environment, the atmosphere plays a fundamental role in the mercury (Hg) cycle, facilitating the transport and deposition of this toxic contaminant. Three forms of Hg are considered in the atmospheric Hg processes, including gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) or Hg°, and two other operationally defined forms: gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM), which consists of some oxidized gaseous inorganic Hg2+ and Hg+ species and particulate bounded mercury (PBM), which consists of either oxidized Hg or elemental Hg associated with particles. The sum of all gaseous compounds and gaseous elemental Hg is referred to as total gaseous mercury (TGM). Unique chemical and physical properties of this interesting element determine its behaviour in the environment. Hg emission sources include natural, anthropogenic and reemitted processes unfolding in the biosphere. Natural sources of emission into the atmospheric air are an important element of its global fluxes and the largest element of the global Hg cycle. Geogenic activities such as volcanoes and geothermal areas, oceans, lakes, forest and contaminated sites contribute to Hg evasion in the atmosphere. Among global anthropogenic sources, most Hg are released from thermal power plants, metal (including gold), artisanal and small-scale mining, cement production, etc. Quantifying atmospheric Hg concentrations is confronted with challenges, the most notable is the difficulty in measuring atmospheric Hg in low concentrations. However, there are several commercial devices available on the global market. Devices that are commonly used for air Hg monitoring are Tekran air Hg speciation system, PSA Sir Galahad, Lumex and many more. Even though there are limitations regarding these devices, they provide a good estimate and are used globally for atmospheric Hg studies. In this project, we quantify the atmospheric THg concentrations in Idrija, the former mercury mine and the cement production facility, Anhovo, located in Slovenia using three air Hg monitoring detectors, namely; the Tekran system, Sir Galahad and Lumex. Continuous Hg atmospheric concentrations measurements were performed using the Tekran system over one year (December 6, 2019‒February 18, 2021), THg in lichen samples (Hypogymnia Physodes) were conducted for a period of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months respectively. Lichens were analysed after proper preparation by AAS detector Model Hg-201 Semi-automated Hg Analyzer. Total gaseous elemental Hg concentrations were measured using the Lumex detector with the results interpolated on a map with the application of ArcGIS software. Climatic factors which play an important role in atmospheric Hg concentrations data were characterized and used together with the results from the three monitoring techniques to determine the correlation between the measured THg concentrations and these interferences.

description: In this paper we associate permitting symbols with rules of Grammars in the components of cooperating distributed context free hexagonal array grammar systems as a control mechanism and investigating the generative power of the resulting systems in the terminal mode. This feature of associating permitting symbols with rules when extended to patterns in the form of connected arrays also requires checking of symbols, but this is simpler than usual pattern matching. The benefit of allowing permitting symbols is that it enables us to reduce the number of components required in a cooperating distributed hexagonal array grammar system for generating a set of picture arrays.

description: As increasingly complex assisted reproductive technologies (ART) become available, legal and social conceptions of family become ambiguous and sometimes misaligned. The as-yet unrealized technology of cloning provides the clearest example of this confusion: is the legal parent of a clone the individual cloned, or are that individual‘s parents also the parents of the clone? These issues have been generally obscured by the debates around the deployment of ART, especially cloning; far less consideration has been given to the way these new technologies impact the way we think about and develop law on the relationships between genetic, social, gestational, and legal parenthood. This article considers these issues in depth, looking at competing common-law frameworks for determining parentage, the statutory framework of parentage, and deeper theoretical concerns underlying the area. The article concludes that an intent-based framework, with at least some external limitations, most accurately matches law to social views of parents using new forms of ART.

description: Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή, διεισδύοντας στα βάθη της ρωσικής ιστορίας και της ρωσικής πνευματικής σκέψης, φανερώνει τις βασικές πτυχές του πολιτικού και εκκλησιαστικού βίου της Ρωσίας οι οποίες διεμόρφωσαν το ιδιαίτερο ιδεολογικό προφίλ της, το οποίο, έως σήμερα προσδιορίζει την ιδιαίτερη, αν και για πολλούς δυσνόητη, ρωσική ύπαρξη. Επίσης, συμβάλλει στην καλύτερη κατανόηση της ρωσικής εθνικής και κυρίως εκκλησιαστικής ταυτότητας, η οποία διαχρονικώς απασχολεί ή θα λέγαμε προβληματίζει την Πρωτόθρονη Εκκλησία της Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, όμως χωρίς την κατανόηση της οποίας, δεν είναι δυνατή η οικοδόμηση μίας ρεαλιστικής σχέσης με τη Ρωσική Εκκλησία και εν γένει με τη Ρωσία.
description: This doctorate, analyzing the depths of Russian history and Russian religious thought, reveals the main aspects of the political and church life of Russia, which formed its special ideological profile, which until now defines a special Russian existence, even if for many people, this existence is incomprehensible. It also contributes to a better understanding of Russian national and especially ecclesiastical identity, which firmly worries, or should we say, troubling the First Throne Church of Constantinople. But if this especial Russian identity is not understood, it is impossible to build a realistic relationship with the Russian Church and with Russia in general.

description: We investigated the archival ground-based VLBI images of the extragalactic radio sources included in both the {\it Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)} and the {\it Planck} catalogues, and selected 49 bright and compact sources as potential targets for space Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations at mm wavelengths. These sources have a flat radio continuum spectrum between 33 and 94~GHz. They are identified as core-dominated active galactic nuclei (AGN), located at declinations above $-40\degr$, and have never been observed with ground-based VLBI at 86~GHz. The radio properties of the 49 new sources are presented. We compare this new sample with similar samples of compact AGN available from earlier studies. The new candidates, together with the existing bright compact AGN sample identified from 86-GHz ground-based VLBI imaging surveys, form a catalogue of more than 160 AGN. These could be primary targets for mm-VLBI observations on the ground, as well as for future mm-wavelength space VLBI missions such as the project with two satellites currently under study in China.

Copyright Fraud in the Internet Age: Copyright Management Information for Non-Digital Works Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Fraud

Copyright

description: With the advent of the digital age, authors of creative works enjoy the benefits of quickly and inexpensively distributing their works to global audiences. These developments have unfortunately led to the negative consequence that pirated, unauthorized, or altered copies reach potential users before the creator of the work releases the authentic version according to his or her terms. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 sought to address some of these concerns by punishing circumventions of technologies controlling access to copyrighted works (17 U.S.C. § 1201) and by protecting "copyright management information," i.e. the data identifying the author and the terms of use of a copyrighted work (17 U.S.C. § 1202). While scholars have commented extensively on section 1201, little scholarship exists on section 1202. This Article addresses that gap. The Article discusses a federal court split regarding the scope of application of section 1202 and demonstrates that the legislative history and the plain language of the statute call for broad application to both digital and non-digital works. The Article then looks at section 1202 in the context of Internet fraud, and argues that this section functions as a consumer fraud statute, offering protections for the provision of accurate information and authentic works that can well serve copyright owners and consumers.

description: The  Pokémon  Go  craze  went  global  in  the  summer  of  2016.  Gamers, through their smartphone screens and cameras, could see  an  “augmented  reality”  —  one  animated  by  adorable  poké-mon  that  they  had  to  find,  catch,  and  collect  —  superimposed  on the world around them. Playing the game inside the Victoria and  Albert  Museum  in  London,  we  found  ourselves  mesmer-ized by the eerie entanglement of the embodied works of art all around us and the disembodied figures of cuteness overrunning the place. A strange temporal nexus had transformed and over-taken the museum. There, behind a Greek statue, lurked Pika-chu. Inside one of the major aesthetic archives in the world, we witnessed  not  only  the  backward  mapping  of  the  postmodern  cute  onto  old  artifacts  but  also  the  forward  projection  of  cute  potential  from  the  same  relics  of  art.  Moving  through  a  space  of clashing aesthetic modalities, we were children once more.

description: The  stylistic  qualities  of  the  late  medieval  English  play  cycle  known as the Towneley cycle have long intrigued literary schol-ars, with no aspect demonstrating this more clearly than the con-cept of the “Wakefield Master,” the name given to an anonymous playwright deemed to have written the most distinctive sections of the cycle.1 Known for his remarkably inventive uses of poetic form, rhyme words, colloquial expression, and verbal play, the Wakefield Master’s verbal intensity in the cycle has been read in different  ways,  including  as  a  demonstration  of  “the  abuses  of  language” and the moral complicity of poetry (Stevens); as a re-flection of humanity and “the variety of the world” (Meredith); as  evidence  of  anticlericalism  (Dillon);  and  as  critical  com-mentary on the forms of more urban, civic-minded play cycles (Nisse).2 This chapter will focus on what the Wakefield Master’s style says about the affective pursuits of style itself, examining a single  play  from  the  cycle  —  the  Play  of  the  Dice,  which  comes  directly after the Crucifixion play — that seems designed to pose questions  not  only  about  modes  of  verbal  expression  and  the  judgments  that  accompany  them,  but  also  about  the  extent  to  which aesthetic experience can be generated by stylized expres-sion across different, often simultaneous media (verbal, visual, auditory, kinetic). If the Towneley cycle as a whole might be said to  be  characterized,  via  the  ostensible  talents  of  the  Wakefield  Master, by pockets of radical ingenuity, then the Play of the Dice should rightfully be understood as the play in the cycle that is most compulsively preoccupied with innovation as a site of both thematic and formal inquiry.
Indulgence and Refusal: Cuteness, Asceticism, and the Aestheticization of Desire
Creators: name: Howie, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: punctum books

description: Centuries before the late nineteenth-century advent of the cute, not  to  mention  its  twentieth-century  flowering  in  consumer-ism,  ascetic  medieval  Christians  resisted  temptation  in  a  way  that  served  to  inflame  desire,  to  make  it  more  acute,  with  the  ultimate goal of eradicating it to achieve greater holiness. Early twenty-first-century  scholars,  such  as  Sianne  Ngai  and  Daniel  Harris,  resist  and  refuse  the  restrictions  of  traditional  scholar-ship to explore critically the so-called minor aesthetic category of cuteness, finding it a form that, like asceticism, also arouses desires  and  embraces  seemingly  incongruous  qualities.  While  asceticism  calls  attention  to  desire  by  denying  its  fulfillment,  cuteness conceals the power of the commodity’s insidious desir-ability behind a masquerade of innocent powerlessness.

description: Loading quantum information deterministically onto a quantum node is an important step towards a quantum network. Here, we demonstrate that coherent-state microwave photons, with an optimal temporal waveform, can be efficiently loaded onto a single superconducting artificial atom in a semi-infinite one-dimensional (1D) transmission-line waveguide. Using a weak coherent state (average photon number N<<1 with an exponentially rising waveform, whose time constant matches the decoherence time of the artificial atom, we demonstrate a loading efficiency of above 94% from 1D semi-free space to the artificial atom. We also show that Fock-state microwave photons can be deterministically loaded with an efficiency of 98.5%. We further manipulate the phase of the coherent state exciting the atom, enabling coherent control of the loading process. Our results open up promising applications in realizing quantum networks based on waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED).
