Against the Return of Fagin
Creators: name: Marroni, Michela
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description:

Bob Fagin was a boy who helped twelve-year-old Dickens during his traumatic experience at Warren’s Blacking Factory. Taking the cue from the discrepancy between the real Fagin and devilish Fagin in Oliver Twist, I will consider the reasons underlying Dickens’s choice of this particular name for such a villain. At the same time, in light of the scarcely plausible contrast between Oliver’s innocence and the urban decay surrounding him, I will argue that the novel should be interpreted as a social metaphor whose ethical model is The Pilgrim’s Progress. Indeed, as suggested by the novel’s complete title – The Adventures of Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy’s Progress – the eponymous hero’s experience can be regarded as a transition from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City where the “principle of good” is ultimately brought into action. However, unlike Bunyan’s motivated and energetic hero, Oliver is a character whose main traits are passivity, innocence, and silence. Although melodramatic and awash with sentimentality, Victorian middle-class readers readily subscribed to the novel’s message based on the final triumph of goodness.

description: The success of online creative communities depends on the will of participants to create and derive content in a collaborative environment. Despite their growing popularity, the factors that lead to remixing existing content in online creative communities are not entirely understood. In this paper, we focus on overdubbing, that is, a dyadic collaboration where one author mixes one new track with an audio recording previously uploaded by another. We study overdubbing in an online community for music co-creation, named Songtree, and analyze the relationship of the song- and author-related measures with the likelihood and frequency of these dyadic collaborations. A survey is also conducted to understand how active community members perceive reuse and collaboration. Furthermore, we study musicians who collaborate regularly, that is, frequently overdub each other’s songs. Building on frequent pattern mining techniques, we develop an approach to seek instances of such recurring collaborations in the Songtree community. We identify 43 instances involving two or three members with a similar reputation in the community. Our findings highlight common and different remix factors in occasional and recurring collaborations. Specifically, fresh and less mature songs are generally overdubbed more; instead, exchanging messages and invitations to collaborate are significant factors only for songs generated through recurring collaborations whereas author reputation (ranking) and applying metadata tags to songs have a positive effect only in occasional collaborations

description: Modernist urban planning emerged in the 20th century as a solution to conflicts of use between industrial production and housing. However, these originally visionary guidelines are increasingly coming under criticism. Especially the resulting dominant car traffic causes problems today. In order to design more liveable and climate-resilient cities for the future, new planning approaches are needed. These are developed in the following article for the Greek port metropolis of Thessaloniki.
«Más allá está la luz»: comentario del poema «Un milagro de Buda» de Luis Alberto de Cuenca

description:

Luis Alberto de Cuenca’s poetry seems to be like an open book, because of its powerful intertextuality, which has everything. In this sense, this work aims to look over a small ensemble of oriental poems, that adds another piece to the puzzle, and especially examines the poem “A Buda’s miracle”, which is interesting because of its curious textual history, as well as for its condition of buddhist poem that comes from a book about Buddha.

description: We present a study of the infrared properties of X-ray selected, moderate luminosity (Lx=10^{42}-10^{44}ergs/s) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) up to z~3, to explore the links between star formation in galaxies and accretion onto their central black holes. We use 100um and 160um fluxes from GOODS-Herschel -the deepest survey yet undertaken by the Herschel telescope- and show that in >94 per cent of cases these fluxes are dominated by the host. We find no evidence of any correlation between the X-ray and infrared luminosities of moderate AGNs at any redshift, suggesting that star-formation is decoupled from nuclear (AGN) activity. The star formation rates of AGN hosts increase strongly with redshift; by a factor of 43 from z<0.1 to z=2-3 for AGNs with the same X-ray luminosities. This increase is consistent with the factor of 25-50 increase in the specific star formation rates (SSFRs) of normal, star-forming (main-sequence) galaxies. Indeed, the average SSFRs of AGN hosts are only marginally (20 per cent) lower than those of main-sequence galaxies, with this small deficit being due to a fraction of AGNs residing in quiescent (low-SSFR) galaxies. We estimate 79+/-10 per cent of moderate AGNs are hosted in main-sequence galaxies, 15+/-7 per cent in quiescent galaxies and <10 per cent in strongly starbursting galaxies. The fractions of all main sequence galaxies at z<2 experiencing a period of moderate nuclear activity is strongly dependent on galaxy stellar mass (Mstars); rising from a few per cent at Mstars~10^{10}Msun to >20 per cent at Mstars>10^{11}Msun. Our results indicate that it is galaxy stellar mass that is most important in dictating whether a galaxy hosts a moderate luminosity AGN. We argue that the majority of moderate nuclear activity is fuelled by internal mechanisms rather than violent mergers, suggesting that disk instabilities could be an important AGN feeding mechanism.

description: Dieser Aufruf zum Sammeln von Folklore war der erste seiner Art im jüdischen Kontext. Das Jüdische des Fragebogens ist durch das Magen-David-Symbol der Henry Jones-Loge von Hamburg im Briefkopf offensichtlich. Darunter findet sich eine programmatische Darlegung zur Bedeutung der Folklore für die jüdische kulturelle Identität. Diese einseitige Einladung ist von drei Mitgliedern des „Comités der Henry Jones-Loge für jüdische Volkskunde“ unterzeichnet: M Deutschländer, Dr. Max Grunwald und Gustav Tuch. Es ist unklar, wie viele Kopien des Dokuments verteilt wurden. Das vorliegende Exemplar wurde im Archiv der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Volkskunde (SGV) in Basel aufbewahrt, einer Gesellschaft, die 1896 von dem berühmten Volkskundler Eduard Hoffmann-Krayer gegründet wurde. Hoffmann-Krayer gründete später eine jüdische Sektion innerhalb der SGV. Der Fragebogen verweist auf den Zusammenhang zwischen der Entstehung der jüdischen Volkskunde und der Institutionalisierung der „Volkskunde“ im weiteren Sinne. Abgesehen von seiner symbolischen Bedeutung weist der Inhalt des Fragebogens jedoch nur wenige spezifisch jüdische Aspekte auf.

description: This invitation for collecting folklore was the first of its kind in the Jewish context. The Jewishness of this questionnaire is apparent: a Magen David symbol of the Henry Jones-Loge of Hamburg at the top of the front page. Below it, we find a programmatic exposition on the importance of folklore for Jewish cultural identity. This one page invitation is signed by three members of the “Comité der Henry Jones-Loge für jüdische Volkskunde”: M Deutschländer, Dr. Max Grunwald and Gustav Tuch. It is unclear how many copies of the document were distributed. The extant copy was stored in the archives of the Swiss Folklore Society Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Volkskunde (SGV) in Basel, a society established in 1896 by the famous folklorist Eduard Hoffmann-Krayer. Hoffmann-Krayer later incorporated a Jewish section within the SGV. The questionnaire demonstrates how the emergence of Jewish folklore studies belonged to the institutionalization of “Volkskunde” more broadly. Despite its symbolic importance, the content of the questionnaire exhibits very few specifically Jewish aspects.

description: What is the relevance of major mergers and interactions as triggering mechanisms for active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity? To answer this longstanding question, we analyze 140 XMM-selected AGN host galaxies and a matched control sample of 1264 inactive galaxies over z~0.3-1.0 and log(M_*/M_sun)<11.7 with high-resolution HST/ACS imaging from the COSMOS field. The visual analysis of their morphologies by 10 independent human classifiers yields a measure of the fraction of distorted morphologies in the AGN and control samples, i.e. quantifying the signature of recent mergers which might potentially be responsible for fueling/triggering the AGN. We find that (1) the vast majority (>85%) of the AGN host galaxies do not show strong distortions, and (2) there is no significant difference in the distortion fractions between active and inactive galaxies. Our findings provide the best direct evidence that, since z~1, the bulk of black hole accretion has not been triggered by major galaxy mergers, therefore arguing that the alternative mechanisms, i.e., secular processes and minor interactions, are the leading triggers for the episodes of major black hole growth. We also exclude an alternative interpretation of our results: a significant time lag between merging and the observability of the AGN phase could wash out the most significant merging signatures, explaining the lack of enhancement of strong distortions on the AGN hosts. We show that this alternative scenario is unlikely due to: (1) recent major mergers being ruled out for the majority of sources due to the high fraction of disk-hosted AGN, (2) the lack of a significant X-ray signal in merging inactive galaxies as a signature of a potential buried AGN, and (3) the low levels of soft X-ray obscuration for AGN hosted by interacting galaxies, in contrast to model predictions.

Modulational instability and nonlinear evolution of two-dimensional electrostatic wave packets in ultra-relativistic degenerate dense plasmas

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: We consider the nonlinear propagation of electrostatic wave packets in an ultra-relativistic (UR) degenerate dense electron-ion plasma, whose dynamics is governed by the nonlocal two-dimensional nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger-like equations. The coupled set of equations are then used to study the modulational instability (MI) of a uniform wave train to an infinitesimal perturbation of multi-dimensional form. The condition for the MI is obtained, and it is shown that the nondimensional parameter, $β\proptoλ_C n_0^{1/3}$ (where $λ_C$ is the reduced Compton wavelength and $n_0$ is the particle number density), associated with the UR pressure of degenerate electrons, shifts the stable (unstable) regions at $n_{0}\sim10^{30}$ cm$^{-3}$ to unstable (stable) ones at higher densities, i.e. $n_{0}\gtrsim7\times10^{33}$. It is also found that {the} higher the values of $n_{0}$, the lower is the growth rate of MI with cut-offs at lower wave numbers of modulation. Furthermore, the dynamical evolution of the wave packets is studied numerically. We show that either they disperse away or they blowup in a finite time, when the wave action is below or above the threshold. The results could be useful for understanding the properties of modulated wave packets and their multi-dimensional evolution in UR degenerate dense plasmas, such as those in the interior of white dwarfs {and/or} pre-Supernova stars.

description: Between May and June 2020, the DIGITAL ICH Observatory conducted the survey "Inventories & Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)". With this data we intended to analyse the practices and opinions of users of ICH Inventories. The 2003 UNESCO Convention underlines the importance of ICH inventories to safeguard, disseminate, and raise awareness on ICH. All nominations for inscription in the ICH World Lists must be included on an ICH Inventory. Mostly for this reason, in the last 12 years, multiple processes of inventory have begun. Nevertheless, how are ICH inventories being used? How do users consult them? What opinion do they have about them? To answer these and other questions we applied this survey. Now we present the results of this work, starting by describing the sample studied in the research.

description: We study the Schwinger effect in a system of non-parallel D1-branes for the bosonic strings using the path integral formalism. We drive the string pair creation rate by calculating the one loop vacuum amplitude of the setup in presence of the background electric filed defined along one of the D1-branes. We find an angle dependent minimum value for the background field and show that the decaying of vacuum into string pairs takes place for the field above this value. It is shown that in $θ\rightarrow\fracπ{2}$ limit the vacuum becomes stable and thus no pair creation occurs.

description: We present a re-analysis of the Geneva-Copenhagen survey, which benefits from the infrared flux method to improve the accuracy of the derived stellar effective temperatures and uses the latter to build a consistent and improved metallicity scale. Metallicities are calibrated on high-resolution spectroscopy and checked against four open clusters and a moving group, showing excellent consistency. The new temperature and metallicity scales provide a better match to theoretical isochrones, which are used for a Bayesian analysis of stellar ages. With respect to previous analyses, our stars are on average 100 K hotter and 0.1 dex more metal rich, which shift the peak of the metallicity distribution function around the solar value. From Stromgren photometry we are able to derive for the first time a proxy for alpha elements, which enables us to perform a tentative dissection of the chemical thin and thick disc. We find evidence for the latter being composed of an old, mildly but systematically alpha-enhanced population that extends to super solar metallicities, in agreement with spectroscopic studies. Our revision offers the largest existing kinematically unbiased sample of the solar neighbourhood that contains full information on kinematics, metallicities, and ages and thus provides better constraints on the physical processes relevant in the build-up of the Milky Way disc, enabling a better understanding of the Sun in a Galactic context.

A systematic evidence synthesis of the changes observed in the brain of people diagnosed with a personality disorder in Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities

description: Preface: The path of this research stemmed from a passion and curiosity for mental health and neuroscience and in addition to this how prevalence, aetiology, diagnosis and treatment differs for people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority groups (BAME), being from this community myself. This study was meant to be an empirical study retrieving data from several mental health units in London, who agreed access, only to withdraw it at the last minute. We then planned for outpatients to come to LSBU to have the EEG scans necessary for data collection, but Covid-19 arrived and all face-to-face contact for research purposes halted before any data could be collected. The team concluded, that in order to keep the MRes ‘on the road’ and with no foreseeable end in sight to the CV-19-related lockdown, that a systematic evidence synthesis was feasible. Hence the work being reported here. This Evidence synthesis has been benchmarked against the PRIMSA statement . The associated PRISMA checklist was used to ensure that all relevant PRISMA items were addressed in the review paper, the student’s assessment of this can be found in appendix.

The targum (1877:Apr.)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1877

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Em 1590, a Companhia de Jesus deu início em Lisboa a um curso de matemática onde se ensinavam temas hoje associados à física clássica e astronomia. Nesta famosa Aula da Esfera, muitos professores eram jesuítas treinados fora do país que depois seguiam para as missões no Oriente. Por esta razão, os historiadores têm associado esta academia de matemática às novas ideias científicas no império português. Mas neste artigo mostro que a Aula da Esfera também teve um impacto enorme em Portugal continental por estar na origem dos primeiros livros de física escritos em português, onde se ensinaram ideias novas como o vácuo, o modelo heliocêntrico, e mecânica animal bastante cedo. Através de uma leitura atenta de manuscritos, este artigo também sugere que o contexto religioso português foi uma das forças motoras da ciência em Portugal, devido a um tipo de piedade material onde o encontro com o divino acontecia através das coisas mais materiais, incluindo novas tecnologias.

description: We investigate, in the context of asymmetric dark matter (DM), a new mechanism of spontaneous co-genesis of linked DM and baryon asymmetries, explaining the observed relation between the baryon and DM densities, Omega_DM/Omega_B ~ 5. The co-genesis mechanism requires a light scalar field, phi, with mass below 5 eV which couples derivatively to DM, much like a `dark axion'. The field phi can itself provide a final state into which the residual symmetric DM component can annihilate away.

description: The first results from the Tenth Cambridge (10C) Survey of Radio Sources, carried out using the AMI Large Array (LA) at an observing frequency of 15.7 GHz, are presented. The survey fields cover an area of approximately 27 sq. degrees to a flux-density completeness of 1 mJy. Results for some deeper areas, covering approximately 12 sq. degrees, wholly contained within the total areas and complete to 0.5 mJy, are also presented. The completeness for both areas is estimated to be at least 93 per cent. The source catalogue contains 1897 entries and is available at www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/surveys/10C. It has been combined with that of the 9C Survey to calculate the 15.7-GHz source counts. A broken power law is found to provide a good parameterisation of the differential count between 0.5 mJy and 1 Jy. The measured count has been compared to that predicted by de Zotti et al. (2005). The model displays good agreement with the data at the highest flux densities but under-predicts the integrated count between 0.5 mJy and 1 Jy by about 30 per cent. Entries from the source catalogue have been matched to those contained in the catalogues of NVSS and FIRST (both of which have observing frequencies of 1.4 GHz). This matching provides evidence for a shift in the typical 1.4-to-15.7-GHz spectral index of the 15.7-GHz-selected source population with decreasing flux density towards sub-mJy levels - the spectra tend to become less steep. Automated methods for detecting extended sources have been applied to the data; approximately 5 per cent of the sources are found to be extended relative to the LA synthesised beam of approximately 30 arcsec. Investigations using higher-resolution data showed that most of the genuinely extended sources at 16 GHz are classical doubles, although some nearby galaxies and twin-jet sources were also identified.

Korean as a transitional literacy : language education, curricularization, and the vernacular-cosmopolitan interface in early modern Korea, 1895-1925
Creators: name: Pieper, Daniel Oliver
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study argues that language and literacy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (1895-1925) were formed through several interactive processes, including the development of “modern” literature and writing styles, processes of translation, dictionary compilation, and the circulation and functioning of language ideologies and discourses on linguistic modernity. Because Japanese engaged with the above processes vis-à-vis Western languages before Korean, Korean intellectuals found in the Japanese language a ready-made model for reform and modernization. Western notions of linguistic modernity—what modern language and literature “ought to be”—as well as the inundation of Korean with Japanese terms due to Korea’s late engagement with dictionary compilation and translation resulted in a Korean language that increasingly came to resemble Japanese. This facilitated the shift to higher Japanese literacy when combined with a colonial curriculum aimed at truncated Korean literacy and expansive Japanese. The convergence of the above processes with the political will engendered in education policy during a period of instability and flux in the orthographical development of Korean from that encoded in Literary Sinitic (hanmun) to Sino-Korean Mixed Script (kukhanmun) combined to lay the foundations for a shift from semi-literacy in Korean to literacy in Japanese, with Korean acting as a transitional literacy, and the sinograph (hancha) functioning as a mediating agent. Whereas pre-colonial language textbooks from various educational streams represented alternative pronouncements on vernacular literacy as well as laboratories for vernacular-cosmopolitan differentiation, Japanese-produced textbooks codified the official vision of colonial literacy, demonstrating a continued commitment to Mixed-Script orthography, directing the gradual diminution of Literary Sinitic, employing the sinograph as a diachronic and translingual mediating agent, and actualizing bilingual literacy transitioning.
title: Transcendental dynamics: wandering domains of meromorphic functions
Creators: name: Rodrigues Ferreira, Gustavo
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the iteration of transcendental meromorphic functions, i.e., functions that are meromorphic in the complex plane and admit no analytic extension to the Riemann sphere. We focus on problems that are in some way related to wandering domains, regions of normality whose iterates are all disjoint. The first problem that we explore is that of internal dynamics. By using hyperbolic geometry, recent work of Benini et al. classified the internal dynamics of simply connected wandering domains and showed that they can fit neatly into one of nine types, each with uniform internal dynamics. We show that, for multiply connected wandering domains of entire functions, this uniformity breaks down, and that we have geometrically defined laminations that determine the internal dynamics of the wandering domain. We also tackle the internal dynamics of multiply connected wandering domains of non-entire meromorphic functions. We show that they are much more complex and diverse, and investigate conditions that can recover the uniformity observed in the simply connected case. To further illustrate the richness of the meromorphic case, we construct (using approximation theory) a meromorphic function with a wandering domain with no eventual connectivity and (using quasiconformal surgery) a meromorphic function with a semi-contracting infinitely connected wandering domain. The second problem that we investigate is that of commuting functions – one of the oldest in complex dynamics. Recent work by Bergweiler and Hinkkanen, and later Benini, Rippon, and Stallard, show that it is related –in the entire case – to the presence of fast escaping wandering domains. In adapting their techniques to the meromorphic setting, we prove the strongest statement to date on the problem of commuting meromorphic functions and draw attention to ping-pong orbits and wandering domains – a “meromorphic-only” phenomenon that further complicates the problem. In the course of the thesis, we explore other problems that are tangentially related to those mentioned above. The first is the existence of what we call ill-behaved annuli coverings, infinite-degree maps without asymptotic values between topologica annuli. The second is the problem of symmetries of the Julia set, which – for rational functions – is known to be related to the problem of commuting functions. We discuss a conjecture by Kisaka and offer partial results towards classifying the symmetries of Julia sets of transcendental entire functions.
Comparison of SpatialAnalyzer and Different Adjustment Programs

description: Net adjustment is one of the basic tools for various surveying tasks. Among transformation of coordinates or the analysis and comparison of geometries, the adjustment of geodetic networks is an important part of the surveyor's work. The market offers a number of software solutions, both commercial and freeware.

All the programs have the ability to process terrestrial observations (distance, zenith angle, horizontal direction) in common. Apart from that, the programs differ in various aspects, which are important for the customer's choice. For instance, the net dimensions are not the same with each piece of software. Some programs do not offer a proper 3D adjustment. They handle horizontal position and height separately and therefore ignore the mathematical dependencies between the two components.

Seeing the range of software solutions, the question arises, whether the programs give equivalent results. Earlier evaluations of net adjustment programs, including New River Kinematics' SpatialAnalyzer (SA), revealed on the one hand almost identical adjustment results for the classic programs. On the other hand, the evaluations showed that SA, using a different mathematical model (bundle adjustment) yields clearly distinguishable deviations. Hence, in this paper the authors focused on SA with the classic programs as reference. The first part of the comparison deals with the results of evaluating a terrestrial network. Due to the fact that the programs do not account for the earth's curvature in a standardized way, the network is of small size to overcome the need of pre-processing.

The second part of the paper compares the results of the evaluation of basic geometries (plane, circle, cylinder, sphere) using SA and other software packages with the least squares solution obtained in a rigorous Gauss Helmert model.
Tracked identities, resistance, and cultural production of yeongpoja : critical ethnography of tracked English classes in a Korean middle school
Creators: name: Byean, Hyera
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: In South Korea, English is implicated in local political processes, mediating relations of class and social (re)production (Park, 2013). Unequal access to English restricts the prospects of the disadvantaged in education and the job market (Kubota, 2011). Tracking, an institutional practice which groups students by performance, is one way in which these inequalities manifest in the neoliberalized landscape of Korean education. Situated within the frameworks of cultural production (Willis, 1977, 2004) and language socialization (Duff & Talmy, 2011), this critical ethnography explores the language learning trajectories of ninth-grade students in a Korean school over one semester who have been tracked since entering middle school. Classroom interactions and interviews are analyzed using critical discourse approaches (Talmy, 2010a). This study finds that teachers oriented to the significance of English in high-stakes exams, and naturalized tracking to provide students appropriately leveled lessons. However, their beliefs about homogenously-constituted tracks steered them to conflate students’ language competence with track categories and prevented them from attending to the multiple levels and needs of learners within each track. More importantly, there were very few differences in the instructional materials used across tracks because teachers based their lessons on the same textbook in preparation for the same tests. Consequently, many students, regardless of track, deemed tracking unconducive to learning, engaging in acts of resistance to grammar-translation-oriented classroom practices. Nevertheless, students displayed disaffiliative stances towards detracking out of concerns of being held back or tacitly positioned as having deficits. In this sense, this study argues that socialization into tracking led students to track not only their abilities but also their habitus (Bourdieu, 1990) and identities. Such tracked identities created conditions to reinforce a school hierarchy in which many low-track students were discursively co-produced as yeongpoja, i.e., students who have given up on English. This study demonstrates that the yeongpoja identity is a consequence of socialization into low tracks, manifesting students’ resistance to their stigmatized identities as well as the test-oriented instructional practices. The study concludes with a call for reexamining tracking, suggesting implications for instruction which integrate and recognize the needs, interests, and knowledge of students from diverse backgrounds.
The helicity and vorticity of liquid crystal flows

description: We present explicit expressions of the helicity conservation in nematic liquid crystal flows, for both the Ericksen-Leslie and Landau-de Gennes theories. This is done by using a minimal coupling argument that leads to an Euler-like equation for a modified vorticity involving both velocity and structure fields (e.g. director and alignment tensor). This equation for the modified vorticity shares many relevant properties with ideal fluid dynamics and it allows for vortex filament configurations as well as point vortices in 2D. We extend all these results to particles of arbitrary shape by considering systems with fully broken rotational symmetry.

Year: 2014

description: We rely on the security properties of cryptographic protocols every day while browsing the Internet or withdrawing money from an ATM. However, many of the protocols we use today were standardized without a proof of security. Serious flaws in protocols restrict the level of security we can reach for applications. This thesis motivates why we should strive for proofs of security and provides a framework that makes using automated tools to conduct such proofs more feasible.
