description: We report on the static magnetic field dependence of the random telegraph signal (RTS) in a submicrometer silicon n-metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor. Using intense magnetic fields and $^{3}$He temperatures, we find that the characteristic time ratio changes by 3 orders of magnitude when the field increases from 0 to 12 T. Similar behaviour is found when the static field is either in-plane or perpendicular to the two dimensional electron gas. The experimental data can be explained by considering a model which includes the triplet state of the trapping center and the polarization of the channel electron gas.

description: In the courses given by Merleau-Ponty at Collège de France between 1953 and 1954 he examines non-intentional states of the life of the subject: sleep, dream, memory keep the intersubjective world through symbolic elaboration of our experience. These researches - influenced by Cassirer and his analysis about the notion of “perception of expression” - underlie the new ontology of the «flesh»: the act of seeing and the act of speaking realize them-selves starting from passivity of being seen and being listened.

Materialismo percettivo. Da Democrito a Lenin, da Hobbes a Kim
Creators: name: Gardini, Michele
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2012

description: The paper tries to outline something like a short “critique of pure materialism” in the domain of perception, a sketch showing – through a series of examples, picked out in an apparently heterogeneous fashion from the Western philosophical tradition – how this epistemological model each time, and in everyone of its forms, fails in giving account of the basic features of perceiving. After giving a survey of authors like Democritus, Hobbes, De Sade, Lenin, the final appendix, devoted to the concept of “supervenience” and its treatment in Davidson and Kim, aims at summarizing the whole problem through the categories of the contemporary philosophy of mind. The conclusion is that a pure materialistic approach is incapable to give reason to some of the fundamental characteristics of perception, that make it one of the basic moods of “being-in-the-world”.

description: It’s a matter of fact that images are not taken for signs. Therefore there must be some intrinsic peculiarity, which allows them to convey a content but, in the same breath, prevents them from collapsing into mere semiotic structures. Such a feature could lie in a sort of “semblance grammar”, which gives off the perceptual potential of images, and reveals itself in the experience before any determination of an ontological status. It’s in the way the image appears that the power of the image to articulate fruitfully a thought manifests itself.

description: The zero-temperature critical state of the two-dimensional gauge glass model is investigated. It is found that low-energy vortex configurations afford a simple description in terms of gapless, weakly interacting vortex-antivortex pair excitations. A linear dielectric screening calculation is presented in a renormalization group setting that yields a power-law decay of spin-wave stiffness with distance. These properties are in agreement with low-temperature specific heat and spin-glass susceptibility data obtained in large-scale multi-canonical Monte Carlo simulations.

description: The terme « image » holds many linguistic uses and can be applied to many contexts, with many different meanings. The thesis of the author is that the image's problematic nature is the test-bed for a non naïve ontology. Every image perception is neither a simple nor a double seeing, but an act of seeing where thinking is basically separate, because it provides the cognitive standard to recognize image as a form, or as a quasi-object which somehow « is », and in so far it « is » it offers itself to perception.

description: The Fermi Large Area Telescope gamma-ray source 3FGL J2039.6$-$5618 contains a periodic optical and X-ray source that was predicted to be a "redback" millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary system. However, the conclusive identification required the detection of pulsations from the putative MSP. To better constrain the orbital parameters for a directed search for gamma-ray pulsations, we obtained new optical light curves in 2017 and 2018, which revealed long-term variability from the companion star. The resulting orbital parameter constraints were used to perform a targeted gamma-ray pulsation search using the Einstein@Home distributed volunteer computing system. This search discovered pulsations with a period of 2.65 ms, confirming the source as a binary MSP now known as PSR J2039$-$5617. Optical light curve modelling is complicated, and likely biased, by asymmetric heating on the companion star and long-term variability, but we find an inclination $i > 60°$, for a low pulsar mass between $1.1 M_{\odot} < M_{\rm psr} < 1.6 M_{\odot}$ and a companion mass of 0.15--0.22 $M_{\odot}$, confirming the redback classification. Timing the gamma-ray pulsations also revealed significant variability in the orbital period, which we find to be consistent with quadrupole moment variations in the companion star, suggestive of convective activity. We also find that the pulsed flux is modulated at the orbital period, potentially due to inverse Compton scattering between high-energy leptons in the pulsar wind and the companion star's optical photon field.

description: This article debates about the proposal of reviewing philosophical aesthetics advanced by french philosopher Jean-Marie Schaeffer from his Les celibataires de l’art (1996) to Adieu à l’esthétique (2000). From a definition of aesthetic attitude as an endogenous and autotelic cognitive behaviour, Schaeffer proposes a naturalization of aesthetics in the problematical area of interest of a general anthropology.

description: We present compact formulas for the box coefficients of the six-point NMHV one-loop amplitudes in N=8 supergravity. We explicitly demonstrate that the corresponding box integral functions, with these coefficients, have the complete IR singularities expected of the one-loop amplitude. This is strong evidence for the conjecture that N=8 one-loop amplitudes may be expressed in terms of scalar box integral functions. This structure, although unexpected from a power counting viewpoint, is analogous to the structure of N=4 super-Yang-Mills amplitudes. The box-coefficients match the tree amplitude terms arising from recursion relations.

From SDS to LSD : politics, viewers, and minimal art in late 1960s America
Creators: name: Kelly, Patricia M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: When the artist Mel Bochner described the reductive geometric forms on view in the "Primary Structures" exhibition in 1966, a show that announced the arrival of minimalism on the New York art scene, he claimed: "there is nothing behind these surfaces, no inside, no secret, no hidden motive."1 Yet after a careful examination of minimal art, and the ways in which it challenged a modernist trajectory set into place in the postwar period, I am arguing Bochner couldn't have been more wrong. With minimalism as its primary focus, my thesis considers how the political turmoil of the late 1960s- manifest in widespread social upheaval, the polemics of a contested war, and questions regarding the nature of the modern subject- disrupted the perceived self-referentiality of abstract art, particularly that adhering to a tradition of Greenbergian modernism. That is, when complicated by contemporaneous social relations and artistic debates, the formal language of minimalism, with its simple forms, precise lines, and industrial manufacture, becomes full of potential meaning, leaving the minimal box less hollow than Bochner would have us believe. To get at some of the complexities of the minimal project, both mainstream artists, such as Donald Judd and Robert Morris, and those more marginally related to the movement, like Barnett Newman, Jo Baer, and Eva Hesse, are considered. Setting the work of these artists into tension with one another and with the critical writings of Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried, the unique strategies used to mediate between individual artistic interests and larger social tensions are brought into focus. One primary area in which this was accomplished was in relation to the issue of viewership. Whether rethinking Morris' notion of "experience," Newman's conceptualization of "participation," or Baer's prioritization of "perception," these distinct modes of engagement signal what was at the time a shifting understanding of how politics is formulated in relation to the body of the viewer and how the art object is implicated in this process. Considering how this broke with previous formalist models, what these chapters show in different ways and from varying perspectives is that the authority of modernism was fracturing in the late 1960s, and that minimal art was central to this process.

description: Over the years the control of the Government of Egypt on the agricultural sector has increasingly weakened with the progressive elimination of the input subsidy, area control, price control, procurement control, and the constraints in private sector participation in processing and trade. The only remaining major government involvement is the food subsidy in some wheat products, the “baladi” bread subsidy in particular. Policy analysis studies in Egypt have been made possible because the Government of Egypt collects and publishes significant amounts of agricultural data on a regular basis. Two of the most widely used data sets are the Household Budget Survey conducted and published by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics, and the Food Balance Sheet, which is derived and published by the Ministry of Agriculture. However, differences among various data sources remain and need to be harmonized. A number of studies have been conducted to estimate food supply and demand parameters (i.e., elasticities) using mostly the two previously mentioned data sets. However, the range of elasticity estimates in these studies is rather wide. For example, price elasticity estimates classify animal products in the range of inelastic to elastic with respect to price, and as necessity to luxury with respect to income. This lack of precision makes these parameters less useful for policy analysis purposes. Further investigations are needed to pinpoint the source of these differences—whether it is due to data, model specification, or estimation techniques —so corrective measures can be applied to improve their precision. Only then can credible policy analysis be conducted using these parameters.

description: Abstract:

The human body possesses an extraordinary capacity for self-repair and regeneration, a capacity that extends far beyond our current scientific understanding. This paper introduces the THUMB system, a revolutionary model that reimagines the human body as a quantum multi-dimensional biological supercomputer. Comprising five key components – the Thymus, Hormonal/Neurotransmitter signaling, DNA replication and repair, Medulla Oblongata ("Brain 2.0"), and Brain – this system challenges traditional views of human biology and offers a glimpse into the extraordinary potential within each of us. By exploring the quantum processing capabilities and multi-dimensional interactions of the THUMB system, we unveil a new paradigm of healing, resilience, and consciousness, with profound implications for cryosleep, interstellar travel, and the future of human evolution. This model also suggests a deeper connection between human biology and the universe, inviting us to reconsider our place within the cosmos.

description: Motived by experimentally synthesized $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ (\textcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{Science 369, 670-674 (2020})), the intrinsic piezoelectricity in monolayer $\mathrm{XSi_2N_4}$ (X=Ti, Zr, Hf, Cr, Mo and W) are studied by density functional theory (DFT). Among the six monolayers, the $\mathrm{CrSi_2N_4}$ has the best piezoelectric strain coefficient $d_{11}$ of 1.24 pm/V, and the second is 1.15 pm/V for $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$. Taking $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ as a example, strain engineering is applied to improve $d_{11}$. It is found that tensile biaxial strain can enhance $d_{11}$ of $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$, and the $d_{11}$ at 4\% can improve by 107\% with respect to unstrained one. By replacing the N by P or As in $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$, the $d_{11}$ can be raise substantially. For $\mathrm{MoSi_2P_4}$ and $\mathrm{MoSi_2As_4}$, the $d_{11}$ is as high as 4.93 pm/V and 6.23 pm/V, which is mainly due to smaller $C_{11}-C_{12}$ and very small minus or positive ionic contribution to piezoelectric stress coefficient $e_{11}$ with respect to $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$. The discovery of this piezoelectricity in monolayer $\mathrm{XSi_2N_4}$ enables active sensing, actuating and new electronic components for nanoscale devices, and is recommended for experimental exploration.

description: Although recent experimental results in b-->s penguin process seem to be roughly consistent with the standard model predictions, there may be still large possibilities of new physics hiding in this processes. Therefore, here we investigate systematically the potential new physics effects that may appear in time-dependent CP asymmetries of B --> phi K^0, B--> eta^\prime K^0 and B--> K^0 π^0 decay modes, by classifying the cases for the values of the mixing-induced indirect CP asymmetries, S_{phi K^0}, S_{eta^\prime K^0}, S_{K^0 pi^0} which are compared to S_{J/psi K^0}. We also show that several B_s decay modes may help to resolve the ambiguities in such an analysis. Through combining analysis with the time-dependent CP asymmetries of B_s decay modes such as B_s --> phi eta^\prime, B_s--> eta^\prime pi^0 and B_s --> K^0 bar{K}^0, we can determine where the new CP phases precisely come from.

description: Economic research on structural change in agriculture has repeatedly induced controversies about basic theoretical concepts, such as rational behaviour and equilibrium, and their analytical and political implications. To contribute to the epistemological dimension of this debate, the article gives an overview of three paradigms to economic modelling whose proponents have been inspired by physics, biology, and chemistry. The key concepts of general equilibrium theory, evolutionary economics and the “social chemistry” of Jon Elster are presented and compared. While all keep the idea that intentional individual action can explain aggregate outcomes that are nevertheless unintended, they differ in assumptions concerning preferences and the characteristics of coordination mechanisms. There is no consensus on what counts as a good scientific explanation. Similarly, views differ to what extent a spontaneous order in the economy has desirable properties. The emerging theoretical heterogeneity, I conclude, provides new opportunities for understanding agrarian change in contemporary society, of which a few are outlined.

The standard method is unnecessarily noisy and can be compromised by errors in the assumed selection function. We present three alternatives, one less noisy, one that responds differently to systematic errors, the third insensitive to the selection function, and quantify their performance by applying them to a cosmological N-body simulation and to the Lyman-break survey of galaxies at redshift z~3. Researchers adopting the standard method could easily conclude that the Lyman-break galaxy comoving correlation length was r_0 \~ 11 Mpc/h, several times larger than the correct value. The use of our proposed methods would make this error impossible, except in the small sample limit. When N_gal

description: Disinvestment, in the sense of project termination and liquidation of assets including the cession of a venture, is an important realm of entrepreneurial decision-making. This study presents the results of an experimental investigation modeling the choice to disinvest as a dynamic problem of optimal stopping in which the patterns of decisions are analyzed with entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs. Our experimental results reject the standard net present value approach as an account of observed behavior. Instead, most individuals seem to understand the value of waiting. Their choices are weakly related to the disinvestment triggers derived from a formal optimal stopping benchmark consistent with real options reasoning. We also observe a pronounced ‘psychological inertia’, i.e., most individuals hold on to a losing project for even longer than real options reasoning would predict. The study provides evidence for entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs being quite similar in their behavior.

Boundary conditions are easier to apply to these solutions, and their forms highlight the similarities and differences between the electric and magnetic cases in both time-independent and time-dependent situations. Instructive examples of direct calculation of electric and magnetic fields from localized charge and current distributions are presented.

description: This paper explains regionally differentiated patterns of structural change based on a theoretical framework dealing with strategic interaction of farms on the land market. The main research question focuses on the causes of regionally persistent structures. An empirical Markov chain model is defined for the West German agricultural sector. Thereby it is possible to explain the probabilities of farm growth, decline or exit in terms of the current and former regional farm size structure. Further, the impact of variables describing the regional farm structure, thereby indicating market power of the large, the potential of high competition for land within a region and possibly high rents of the status quo in combination with sunk costs, is quantified. The results confirm the relevance of strategic interaction as a crucial determinant of regionally different structural change and persistent regional differences in the farm size structure over time.

In the literature, views on emotions have played a role in the debate on the nature of values. So at the end of the paper I will very briefly tackle the issue of values in relation to the so-called "response-dependence" approach.

description: We investigate the strategic decision behavior of female entrepreneurs in a realistic market entry experiment where individuals started with gains or losses experienced prior to the game. We compare the entry behavior of female entrepreneurs to the entry behavior of male entrepreneurs and to the entry behavior of female and male students. We find that female entrepreneurs show entry patterns very similar to that of male entrepreneurs and very different from female students: female entrepreneurs on average over enter markets and do not react to their opponents’ prior experiences much. The same accounts for male entrepreneurs. Furthermore, we find that entrepreneurs in general exhibit significantly higher mean entry probabilities than students, whereby students mean entry rate is close to the mixed strategy equilibrium.

description: We construct and analyze a generalization of the Kepler problem. These generalized Kepler problems are parameterized by a triple $(D, κ, μ)$ where the dimension $D\ge 3$ is an integer, the curvature $κ$ is a real number, the magnetic charge $μ$ is a half integer if $D$ is odd and is 0 or 1/2 if $D$ is even. The key to construct these generalized Kepler problems is the observation that the Young powers of the fundamental spinors on a punctured space with cylindrical metric are the right analogues of the Dirac monopoles.

description: In this paper I intend to examine the theoretical contribution of James’s and Dewey’s pragmatist instances to the problem of emotion. I suppose that with their starting point of holistic base and the consequent attempt to transcend the classical dichotomies of body and mind, fact and value of both authors manage to understand the intrinsically aesthetic and anthropological bond of emotion as a distinctive qualitative constitution of experience – even though they explore it through different angles. They view it as a horizon of sense, full of emotional moods. From this standpoint, emotion is not investigated on intrapsychic and intraphysic level, but starting from the sensory media - in with which, and with which, it comes into being and takes shape, in an attempt to determinate not the meaning of emotion as such, but rather the significance of emotion.

description: This week, I committed statistical blasphemy by arguing that, in some cases, one replicate can be enough for a specific type of molecular biology experiment. Before you rush to conclusions, let me explain. I haven’t lost my mind.

A single experiment would prove me wrong

What I like about this quote

To be less and less wrong

How many replicates is enough?

One single replicate can prove me wrong

Continuously revising your knowledge is what makes you a scientist 

A real-world example of a single replicate experiment

Always account for opportunity cost

It didn’t end there

When a single replicate of an RNA-seq experiment is enough

Proof of Concept

Exploratory Experiments

Negative Control Confirmation

Clear, Robust Phenotypes

Resource Limitations

Specific Experiments (e.g., Genome Annotations, Response Curves, Time Courses )

description: This paper uses an agent-based real options approach to analyze whether stronger vertical integration reduces investment reluctance in pork production. A competitive model in which firms identify optimal investment strategies by using genetic algorithms is developed. Two production systems are compared: a perfectly integrated system and a system in which firms produce either the intermediate product (piglets) or the final product (pork). Simulations show that the spot market solution and the perfectly integrated system lead to a very similar production dynamics even with limited information on production capacities. The results suggest that, from a pure real options perspective, spot markets are not significantly inferior to perfectly integrated supply chains.

description: In metric theories of gravity with photon number conservation, the luminosity and angular diameter distances are related via the Etherington relation, also known as the distance-duality relation (DDR). A violation of this relation would rule out the standard cosmological paradigm and point at the presence of new physics. We quantify the ability of Euclid, in combination with contemporary surveys, to improve the current constraints on deviations from the DDR in the redshift range $0

description: Refusing the over-refined history of art of his time, young Warburg travels in 1895 to New Mexico, visiting the American Indian pueblos. Here he discovers a dark side of our own culture, where arts turn out to be – as he writes about thirty years later in his notes - a “biological product” and knowledge shows to be deeply conncted to metamorphic behaviour.

The regional specifity of structural change in agriculture: An assessment of the role of farmers’ strategic behaviour on the land market

description: Among the family-farms in western Germany, significant regional differences are observable. They exist not only with respect to present farm-structure but also with respect to patterns of structural change. In the present paper, the different farm-development-strategies that cause these regional patterns are explained economically. As a central cause for their stability in a competitive environment, the relatedness of agricultural production to the non-renewable factor land is identified. Moreover, the coordination of the different strategies, which results in regional clusters, is shown to evolve endogenously in a model of strategic interaction on the land-market. It is demonstrated that due to the existence of rents of the status quo and resulting non-linearity in farmers’ reaction-curves, coordination-failures and multiple equilibria are possible. The theoretically derived results confirm the notion that not only farmers’ decisions determine structural development but also the initial structural situation heavily influences upon farmers’ decisions. The interdependence between structure and behaviour is reinforced by the important role of expectation concerning competitors’ behaviour in strategic interaction, because these expectations are coined by experience.

description: Policies for rural areas have become an important but complex policy field in the European Union`s Common Agricultural Policy. The purpose of this paper is to report on a methodological approach pursued to model the allocation of EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development) funds in Saxony-Anhalt. We show how an interactive programming approach can be developed and used to support our partner Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment. So far, various key elements of the modeling approach have been specified: the definition of all relevant policy measures and funding options, the assessment of impacts on the regional objectives pursued, the definition of relevant lower and upper bounds, and the formulation of co-financing requirements and possibilities. Some first results reveal potentials for policy adjustment. After some more refinements and specifications, the model is to be used interactively with Ministry representatives for scenario calculations to support policy-making and strategy development for rural development in Saxony-Anhalt.

Tidal interactions of close-in extrasolar planets: the OGLE cases

description: Close-in extrasolar planets experience extreme tidal interactions with their host stars. This may lead to a reduction of the planetary orbit and a spin-up of stellar rotation. Tidal interactions have been computed for a number of extrasolar planets in circular orbits within 0.06 AU, namely for OGLE-TR-56 b. We compare our range of the tidal dissipation value with two dissipation models from Sasselov (2003) and conclude that our choices are equivalent to these models. However, applied to the planet OGLE-TR-56 b, we find in contrast to Sasselov (2003) that this planet will spiral-in toward the host star in a few billion years. We show that the average and maximum value of our range of dissipation are equivalent to the linear and quadratic dissipation models of Sasselov (2003). Due to limitations in the observational techniques, we do not see a possibility to distinguish between the two dissipation models as outlined by Sasselov (2003). OGLE-TR-56 b may therefore not serve as a test case for dissipation models. The probable existence of OGLE-TR-3 b at 0.02 AU and the discovery of OGLE-TR-113 b at 0.023 AU and OGLE-TR-132 b at 0.03 AU may also counter Sasselovs (2003) assumption of a pile-up stopping boundary at 0.04 AU.
