title: Articulations of inclusivity within in-game concerts: a comparative multi-case study
Creators: name: de Souza Gandra Camilo, Victor Yago
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: in-game concerts, inclusivity, social inclusion, virtuality, social liveness.

description: This research will investigate the power of in-game concerts to act as articulators of social connections and inclusivity between their attendees. Despite existing as a category of music consumption since the 2000s, with platforms such as Second Life and Lord of the Rings Online, in-game concerts have entered a new stage in their development and popularity since 2018, with more platforms and artists adhering to (and further developing) the format. This often causes thousands, or millions, of attendees to be simultaneously impacted by a same virtual event and leads to the research questions: (i) in what ways can in-game concerts affect the social experience of music consumption of their attendees and (ii) in what ways can in game concerts be more (or less) inclusive than their non-virtual counterparts? By combining elements from the theory of Liveness, with special attention to the notion of ‘social liveness’ (Auslander, 2008; Couldry, 2004), Social Inclusion Theory (Bailey, 2005; Hayday & Collison, 2020) and Social Dominance Theory (Sidanius & Pratto, 1999; Ong et al., 2021), this research will be carried out as a comparative multi-case study. Special focus will be given to the scene of independent Minecraft festivals (2018-2021) and to the concert by Norwegian singer Aurora in the MMORPG Sky: Children of the Light (2022). The investigation of each of these cases will lead to a comparative analysis, from which reflections on the social power of ingame concerts as a wider category will be drawn.
Free-Free Spectral Energy Distributions of Hierarchically Clumped HII Regions

description: In an effort to understand unusual power-law spectral slopes observed in some hypercompact HII regions, we consider the radio continuum energy distribution from an ensemble of spherical clumps. An analytic expression for the free-free emission from a single spherical clump is derived. The radio continuum slope (with F_ν ν^α) is governed by the population of clump optical depths N(tau), such that (a) at frequencies where all clumps are thick, a continuum slope of +2 is found, (b) at frequencies where all clumps are optically thin, a flattened slope of -0.11 is found, and (c) at intermediate frequencies, a power-law segment of significant bandwidth with slopes between these two limiting values can result. For the ensemble distribution, we adopt a power-law distribution N(tau) tau^{-γ}, and find that significant power-law segments in the SED with slopes from +2 to -0.11 result only for a relatively restricted range of $γ$ values of 1 to 2. Further, a greater range of clump optical depths for this distribution leads to a wider bandwidth over which the intermediate power-law segment exists. The model is applied to the source W49N-B2 with an observed slope of \alphab +0.9, but that may be turning over to become optically thin around 2 mm. An adequate fit is found in which most clumps are optically thin and there is little shadowing of rearward clumps by foreground clumps (i.e., the geometrical covering factor C<<1). The primary insight gained from our study is that in the Rayleigh-Jeans limit for the Planck function that applies for the radio band, it is the distribution in optical depth of the clump population that is solely responsible for setting the continuum shape, with variations in the size and temperature of clumps serving to modulate the level of free-free emission.

description: Recent results have shown unprecedented control over separation distances between two metallic elements hundreds of nanometers in size, underlying the effects of free-electron nonlocal response also at mid-infrared wavelengths. Most of metallic systems however, still suffer from some degree of inhomogeneity due to fabrication-induced surface roughness. Nanoscale roughness in such systems might hinder the understanding of the role of microscopic interactions. Here we investigate the effect of surface roughness in coaxial nanoapertures resonating at mid-infrared frequencies. We show that although random roughness shifts the resonances in an unpredictable way, the impact of nonlocal effects can still be clearly observed. Roughness-induced perturbation on the peak resonance of the system shows a strong correlation with the effective gap size of the individual samples. Fluctuations due to fabrication imperfections then can be suppressed by performing measurements on structure ensembles in which averaging over a large number of samples provides a precise measure of the ideal system's optical properties.

description: Based on molecular dynamics simulation, we find that hot spot in explosive is induced by inelastic impaction between void faces and develop a physical model to describe the temperature rising mechanism. A set of thermodynamic parameters for void collapse and hot spot is calculated. The hot spot relaxation time is proportional to square of hot spot size, and the plastic work is proportional to hot spot volume. A complete physical picture for hot spot formation is obtained.

description: Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) provides a unique framework to elucidate the interplay between strong correlations and topological phenomena in two-dimensional systems. The existence of multiple electronic degrees of freedom -- charge, spin, and valley -- gives rise to a plethora of possible ordered states and instabilities. Identifying which of them are realized in the regime of strong correlations is fundamental to shed light on the nature of the superconducting and correlated insulating states observed in the TBG experiments. Here, we use unbiased, sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo simulations to solve an effective interacting lattice model for TBG at charge neutrality. Besides the usual cluster Hubbard-like repulsion, this model also contains an assisted hopping interaction that emerges due to the non-trivial topological properties of TBG. Such a non-local interaction fundamentally alters the phase diagram at charge neutrality, gapping the Dirac cones even for infinitesimally small interaction. As the interaction strength increases, a sequence of different correlated insulating phases emerge, including a quantum valley Hall state with topological edge states, an intervalley-coherent insulator, and a valence bond solid. The charge-neutrality correlated insulating phases discovered here provide the sought-after reference states needed for a comprehensive understanding of the insulating states at integer fillings and the proximate superconducting states of TBG.

description: The general solutions in the models of closed and open superstring and super p-branes with exotic fractions of the N=1 supersymmetry are considered and the spontaneously broken character of the $OSp(1,2M)$ symmetry of the models is established. It is shown that extending these models by Wess-Zumino terms generates the Dirichlet boundary conditions for superstring and super p-branes. Using the generalized Wess-Zumino terms new $OSp(1,2M)$ invariant super p-brane and Dp-brane-like actions preserving $\frac{M-1}{M}$ fraction of supersymmetry are proposed. For M=32 these models suggest new superbrane vacua of M-theory preserving 31 from 32 global supersymmetries.

description: We present X-ray observations of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy, UGC 5101, thought to contain a buried active galactic nucleus (AGN) based on observations in other wavebands. We detected an absorbed hard component at >3 keV, as well as soft emission in the energy range 0.5-2 keV. The soft X-ray component, possibly due to a modestly dust-obscured, extended starburst, has an absorption-corrected 0.5-2 keV X-ray luminosity of LX(0.5-2 keV) = 1.2 * 10^41 ergs s^-1. The 0.5-2 keV X-ray to infrared luminosity ratio is a factor of 5 lower than typical values for a normal starburst, suggesting that this extended starburst is unlikely to be energetically dominant in UGC 5101. The most plausible origin of the absorbed hard component is the putative buried AGN. The 6.4 keV Fe K alpha emission line has a modest equivalent width (400 eV), suggesting that this hard component is direct emission from the AGN, rather than a scattered component. The absorption-corrected 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity of the buried AGN was estimated to be LX(2-10 keV) = 5 * 10^42 ergs s^-1. The intrinsic 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity and the 2-10 keV X-ray to infrared luminosity ratio are both comparable to values measured for Mrk 463, a Seyfert-2 galaxy of similar infrared luminosity.

description: Introduction: This prospective, multicenter, randomized study was designed to analyze the benefits of ticagrelor over clopidogrel in reducing subclinical stent thrombosis (ST) in patients with coronary artery disease who underwent implantation of a second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES). Methods: About 352 patients with single de novo coronary stenosis were randomly assigne`d to either clopidogrel group (aspirin plus clopidogrel) or ticagrelor group (aspirin plus ticagrelor) after DES implantation for 1 year. Baseline clinical characteristics, blood chemistry markers, coronary artery angiography (CAG), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were obtained during the index procedure. Data about clinic, CAG and OCT were also collected after 1 year follow-up. Intention-to-treat (ITT), per protocol set (PPS), and sensitivity analysis of subclinical ST were performed. Major factors associated with subclinical ST were analyzed by multivariable and univariable logistic regression models. Results: The incidence of subclinical ST in ticagrelor group was significantly low as compared to clopidogrel group (P < .05) at 1-year follow-up. Ticagrelor use was an independent factor in reducing subclinical ST (P < .05). The percentage of endothelial coverage, neointimal hyperplasia, malapposition, and edge dissection about stents were not different between the two groups (P > .05). Bleeding ratio was not markedly altered after ticagrelor treatment (P > .05). Not any significant differences were detected with regard to baseline clinical characteristics, CAG results, and DES between ticagrelor and clopidogrel groups (P > .05). Conclusion: In patients who underwent a second-generation DES implantation, using aspirin plus ticagrelor was associated with a significant reduction in subclinical ST. (ClinicalTrials.gov.

description: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) work very well for supervised learning problems when the training dataset is representative of the variations expected to be encountered at test time. In medical image segmentation, this premise is violated when there is a mismatch between training and test images in terms of their acquisition details, such as the scanner model or the protocol. Remarkable performance degradation of CNNs in this scenario is well documented in the literature. To address this problem, we design the segmentation CNN as a concatenation of two sub-networks: a relatively shallow image normalization CNN, followed by a deep CNN that segments the normalized image. We train both these sub-networks using a training dataset, consisting of annotated images from a particular scanner and protocol setting. Now, at test time, we adapt the image normalization sub-network for \emph{each test image}, guided by an implicit prior on the predicted segmentation labels. We employ an independently trained denoising autoencoder (DAE) in order to model such an implicit prior on plausible anatomical segmentation labels. We validate the proposed idea on multi-center Magnetic Resonance imaging datasets of three anatomies: brain, heart and prostate. The proposed test-time adaptation consistently provides performance improvement, demonstrating the promise and generality of the approach. Being agnostic to the architecture of the deep CNN, the second sub-network, the proposed design can be utilized with any segmentation network to increase robustness to variations in imaging scanners and protocols.

description: We present three-dimensional simulations of viscous dissipation of AGN induced gas motions and waves in clusters of galaxies. These simulations are motivated by recent detections of ripples in the Perseus and Virgo clusters. Although the sound waves generated by buoyant bubbles decay with distance from the cluster center, we show that these waves can contribute substantially to offsetting the radiative cooling at distances significantly exceeding the bubble size. The energy flux of the waves declines more steeply with radius than the inverse-square law predicted by energy conservation, implying that dissipation plays an important role in tapping the wave energy. We show that such dispersing sound waves/weak shocks are detectable as ripples on unsharp-masked X-ray cluster maps, and point out that the interfaces between the intracluster medium and old bubbles are also clearly detectable in unsharp-masked X-ray maps. This opens up the possibility of detecting fossil bubbles that are difficult to detect in radio emission. This mode of heating is consistent with other observational constraints, such as the presence of cool rims around the bubbles and the absence of strong shocks. Thus, the mechanism offers a way of heating clusters in a spatially distributed and gentle fashion. We also discuss the energy transfer between the central AGN and the surrounding medium. In our numerical experiments, we find that roughly 65 per cent of the energy injected by the AGN is transferred to the intracluster medium and approximately 25 percent of the injected energy is dissipated by viscous effects and contributes to heating of the gas. The overall transfer of heat from the AGN to the gas is comparable to the radiative cooling losses. The simulations were performed with the FLASH adaptive mesh refinement code.

description: Quantum nonlocal correlations are generated by implementation of local quantum measurements on spatially separated quantum subsystems. Depending on the underlying mathematical model, various notions of sets of quantum correlations can be defined. In this paper we prove separations of such sets of quantum correlations. In particular, we show that the set of bipartite quantum correlations with four binary measurements per party becomes strictly smaller once we restrict the local Hilbert spaces to be finite dimensional, i.e., $\mathcal{C}_{q}^{(4, 4, 2,2)} \neq \mathcal{C}_{qs}^{(4, 4, 2,2)}$. We also prove non-closure of the set of bipartite quantum correlations with four ternary measurements per party, i.e., $\mathcal{C}_{qs}^{(4, 4, 3,3)} \neq \mathcal{C}_{qa}^{(4, 4, 3,3)}$.

description: This project invites people to recognize the material and the properties of shredded textiles to form light stewardship through the material expression of a fiber that we have in abundance, that we do not want to make any more of, however, we need to find a solution for to prevent the shredding of microplastics and reduce the consumeristic cycles of textile-textile systems. The invitation is to see the value of architecture and built form to contain the shred through various methods of binding techniques, to create a place and space that draws attention to the ephemeral properties of shredded textiles and prompting conversation around what the future of the material might look like, how we might utilize it in the built environment and reconsider or consider our relationship with the material. The applications move along the spectrum of the ways to which fabrics have been used to divide space, and create place. The project is interested in exploring the ways that textiles can interact with an enviroment as well as the properties of materials, definitions of what textiles are. The biggest take away from the project being the material relationship through the shred via the community around it, through a goal of providing hope for a conscious future system that makes engaging with more sustainable practices more accessible.

description: Astrometry plays a crucial role in understanding the structure, dynamics, and evolution of celestial objects by providing precise measurements of their positions and motions. We propose a new approach to wide-field, relative astrometry, Plate Analysis. Plate Analysis is an innovative algorithm that estimates stellar coordinates and corrects geometric distortion based on precise reference sources, without relying on dedicated calibration fields. It is implemented as a probabilistic framework using Stochastic Variational Inference to efficiently optimize the numerous parameters involved in the model.
 The methodology was tested through a simplified simulation designed after the Galactic center survey of the JASMINE mission. This simulation, called the JASMINE mini-mock survey, covered three years of observation with 100 satellite orbits, providing a comprehensive dataset for evaluating the performance of Plate Analysis. Although the observation model incorporated more than 30,000 parameters, the parameters were efficiently optimized through Plate Analysis. The results showed that the estimated coordinates closely match the expected stellar motions, with an average positional error of about $70\,\mathrm{μas}$. These findings validate the potential of Plate Analysis for precise wide-field astrometric applications, offering significant insights into improving the accuracy of stellar dynamics measurements.

Standard Khmer Vowel System: An Acoustic Study

Subjects: Mon-Khmer, Khmer, standard Khmer, vowel system, duration, frequency, Acoustic Phonetics, Phnom Penh dialect, structure and variation.

description: Previous acoustic studies of Khmer Language (Henderson 1952, Thomas & Wanna 1987-88, Ratree 1998, Woźnica 2009, Kirby 2014) did not concentrate on the Phnom Penh dialect as the canonical form of Khmer. This study concentrates on the description of standard Khmer vowel distinction in the specific context of the Phnom Penh dialect. Although there is no clear-cut definition of "Standard Khmer", the notion of "speaking clearly" (និយាយច្បាស់/nijiɜj cbah/) may help us to define standard Khmer dialect. This study reports the results of an acoustic-phonetic analysis of the Phnom Penh Khmer dialect. The study finds that all Phnom Penh Khmer vowels presented phonemically and phonetically in the standard Khmer vowel system. Khmer vowels are traditionally separated into two series (a & b) and/or registers (first and second). In Phnom Penh long and short vowels, the first register vowels are lower and more open than the second register vowels. Moreover, the first register vowels are also diphthongized in Phnom Penh, respectively similar to the BB vowels reported by Ratree Wayland (1996). However, the short vowels, for /o/, /ɔ/, /ɑ/ and /a/, are more centralized than the long vowels. Even though in general the Phnom Penh vowel system is a canonical form of the standard Khmer vowel system, some differences exist both in phonology and in phonetics.

We find that this simple model is capable of reproducing the essential features of the observed spectrum with the blackbody temperature T_bl = 250+/-50 kK, hydrogen column density N_H = 5.0^{+2.9}_{-1.5} x 10^{19} cm^{-2}, fractional emitting area f = 5.6^{+60}_{-4.5} x 10^{-3}, boundary layer luminosity L_bl = 5^{+18}_{-3} x 10^{33} erg/s, wind velocity v ~ 2500 km/s, wind mass-loss rate Mdot_w ~ 1.1 x 10^{16} g/s, and arbitrary values of the wind ionization fractions of 20 ions of O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Fe. Given that in outburst the accretion disk luminosity L_disk ~ 1 x 10^{35} erg/s, L_bl/L_disk ~ 0.05^{+0.18}_{-0.03}, which can be explained if the white dwarf (or an equatorial belt thereon) is rotating with an angular velocity Omega_wd ~ 0.7^{+0.1}_{-0.2} Hz, hence V_rot sin i ~ 2300 km/s.

description: 1. Smilax binchuanensis P.Li & C.X.Fu, nom. nov.
 Replaced name: Heterosmilax yunnanensis Gagnepain (1934: 70). Type: CHINA. Yunnan: Binchuan, Ta-ta-ouan, 6 March 1906, Ducloux 4545 (holotype P!, isotype P!).
 Etymology: The existence of the previously published Smilax yunnanensis Chen (1983: 111) necessitates a new name for this species. Since Binchuan, Yunnan, is the type and only known locality, we propose binchuanensis as the new specific epithet.

description: In this paper, we study locally strongly convex Tchebychev hypersurfaces, namely the {\it centroaffine totally umbilical hypersurfaces}, in the $(n+1)$-dimensional affine space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. We first make an ordinary-looking observation that such hypersurfaces are characterized by having a Riemannian structure admitting a canonically defined closed conformal vector field. Then, by taking the advantage of properties about Riemannian manifolds with closed conformal vector fields, we show that the ellipsoids are the only centroaffine Tchebychev hyperovaloids. This solves the longstanding problem of trying to generalize the classical theorem of Blaschke and Deicke on affine hyperspheres in equiaffine differential geometry to that in centroaffine differential geometry.

Some new results on an old controversy: is perturbation theory the correct asymptotic expansion in nonabelian models?

description: Several years ago it was found that perturbation theory for two-dimensional O(N) models depends on boundary conditions even after the infinite volume limit has been taken termwise, provided $N>2$. There ensued a discussion whether the boundary conditions introduced to show this phenomenon were somehow anomalous and there was a class of `reasonable' boundary conditions not suffering from this ambiguity. Here we present the results of some computations that may be interpreted as giving some support for the correctness of perturbation theory with conventional boundary conditions; however the fundamental underlying question of the correctness of perturbation theory in these models and in particular the perturbative $β$ function remain challenging problems of mathematical physics.

description: We present the current status of the research activities of the Ghent group on neutrino-nucleus interactions. These consist in the modeling of some of the relevant neutrino-nucleus reaction channels at intermediate energies: low-energy nuclear excitations, quasielastic scattering, two-nucleon knockout processes and single-pion production. The low-energy nuclear excitations and the quasielastic peak are described using a Hartree-Fock-CRPA (continuum random phase approximation) model that takes into account nuclear long-range correlations as well as the distortion of the outgoing nucleon wave function. We include two-body current mechanisms through short-range correlations and meson-exchange currents. Their influence on one- and two-nucleon knockout responses is computed. Bound and outgoing nucleons are treated within the same mean-field framework. Finally, for modeling of the neutrino-induced single-pion production, we use a low-energy model that contains resonances and the background contributions required by chiral symmetry. This low-energy model is combined with a Regge approach into a Hybrid model, which allows us to make predictions beyond the resonance region.

Discrete Symmetries In Lorentz-Invariant Non-Commutative QED

description: It is pointed out that the usual $θ$-algebra assumed for non-commuting coordinates is not $P$- and $T$-invariant, unless one {\it formally} transforms the non-commutativity parameter $θ^{μν}$ in an appropriate way. On the other hand, the Lorentz-covariant DFR algebra, which `relativitizes' the $θ$-algebra by replacing $θ^{μν}$ with a second-rank antisymmetric tensor operator $\htheta^{μν}$, is $C$-, $ P$- and $T$-invariant. It is then proved that $C, P$ and $T$ are separately conserved in Lorentz-invariant Non-Commutative QED.

A spectacle in the [re]making

description: Post-industrial landscapes, voids left in the fabric of Rust Belt cities, present an opportunity for transformation, and the reclamation of a city’s identity. This project explores the tangible and intangible impacts of repair on a site that exhibits the agency to repair itself. Central to this exploration is the material identity of clay. As a core element in the history of Hamilton’s industrial past, clay represents not only the region’s manufacturing legacy but also the possibility for renewal. The project interrogates the placeness and cultural significance of clay as both a material and a medium of memory. Clay, with its malleable nature and ancient craft tradition, becomes a metaphor for the site’s ability to repair itself, reflecting its own material-making in a regenerative process. The building’s architecture, crafted with local clay, offers a narrative of resilience and continuity, inviting the landscape to reclaim agency in its restoration. Hamilton Brickworks —once a thriving industrial site—now stands abandoned with its past embedded in the physicality of the site and the production of bricks that shaped part of the city’s industrial development. By diving deep into the history of the Brickworks, this project builds upon research from its past to inform the repair for its future. The project aims to reveal what new relationships and experiences can be formed between people and the post-industrial landscape.

description: The large genome of the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) genome accumulates massive amount of accumulated transposable elements (TEs), which show intrinsic transcriptional activities. Hampering the ability to precisely determine full-length RNA transcript sequences are exonized TEs, which produce numerous highly similar fragments that are difficult to resolve using short-read sequencing technology. Here, we applied a 5ʹ-Cap capturing method using Nanopore long-read direct RNA sequencing to characterize full-length transcripts in their native RNA form and to analyze the TE exonization pattern in the locust transcriptome. Our results revealed the widespread establishment of TE exonization and a substantial contribution of TEs to RNA splicing in the locust transcriptome. The results of the transcriptomic spectrum influenced by Piwi expression indicated that TE-derived sequences were the main targets of Piwi-mediated repression. Furthermore, our study showed that Piwi expression regulates the length of RNA transcripts containing TE-derived sequences, creating an alternative UTR usage. Overall, our results reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of TE exonization in the species characterized by large and repetitive genomes.

Unsupervised Learning Methods for Visual Place Recognition in Discretely and Continuously Changing Environments

description: Visual place recognition in changing environments is the problem of finding matchings between two sets of observations, a query set and a reference set, despite severe appearance changes. Recently, image comparison using CNN-based descriptors showed very promising results. However, existing experiments from the literature typically assume a single distinctive condition within each set (e.g., reference: day, query: night). We demonstrate that as soon as the conditions change within one set (e.g., reference: day, query: traversal daytime-dusk-night-dawn), different places under the same condition can suddenly look more similar than same places under different conditions and state-of-the-art approaches like CNN-based descriptors fail. This paper discusses this practically very important problem of in-sequence condition changes and defines a hierarchy of problem setups from (1) no in-sequence changes, (2) discrete in-sequence changes, to (3) continuous in-sequence changes. We will experimentally evaluate the effect of these changes on two state-of-the-art CNN-descriptors. Our experiments emphasize the importance of statistical standardization of descriptors and shows its limitations in case of continuous changes. To address this practically most relevant setup, we investigate and experimentally evaluate the application of unsupervised learning methods using two available PCA-based approaches and propose a novel clustering-based extension of the statistical normalization.
