description: In this issue of Academic Quarter, we focus on the concept of utility. References to utility are ubiquitous in both practical and theoretical settings. One of the most widespread ways of arguing for the initiating of or holding on to a certain practice or activity is that it is useful to us, and appeals to utility is a common and important argumentative move in theoretical discussion. However, the vast and often diverse specifications of utility reveal the indeterminacy inherent in the comprehension of utility. This gives cause for a struggle for the meaning and reference of utility, which in some cases, may lead to altering the originally positive normativity of utility into a negative interpretation. We get confused about utility, and become uncertain of how to apply and how to regard the concept. But at the same time, we cannot seem to escape it or avoid it, and we certainly cannot seem to be indifferent to its forceful nature.

description: In this issue of Academic Quarter, we focus on the network approach. Throughout the past 40 years the network perspective seem to have become the go-to analytical approach that emphasizes relation-making processes and descriptions of how phenomena come into being within the social sciences and the humanities. With this issue we want to engage in a discussion of the appropriateness and relevance of the network approach, and to ask; what do we (still) gain by applying a network perspective? The call for the issue invited contributions from the humanities and the social sciences. Resultantly the issue now, fortunately, contains nine articles from a range of scholarly fields. The different approaches to the concept, theories and methodologies of network(s) inherent in this issue show how thinking in networks, infrastructures, agents and actors still function as a productive scholarly perspective that enables new insights into the interplay between humans and technology, the individual and the collective and societal reproduction and change.

Predicting the incidence of planets and debris discs as a function of stellar mass
Creators: name: Greaves, J. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mass of solids in a young circumstellar disc may be the key factor in its efficiency in building planetesimals and planetary cores, and dust observed around young T Tauri and Herbig Ae stars can be used as a proxy for this initial solid content. The dust-mass distributions are taken from recent millimetre-wavelength data and fitted using survival analysis to take into account upper limits, and threshold disc-masses for building planets and belts of comets are estimated. Amongst A-stars, 20% gas giant and 55% debris disc systems are predicted, in good agreement with observations. For M-stars, the predicted and observed planet-frequencies agree at ~2-3%, and this low incidence is explained by a lack of massive discs. However, debris is predicted around approx. 14% of M-stars, while only ~2% such systems have so far been found. This suggests that deeper searches such as with Herschel and SCUBA-2 may find a cold disc population previously missed around these low-luminosity stars. Also, an estimate of the efficiency of building millimetre-detected dust into planetary cores suggests that about a third of M-stars could host an Earth-mass planet -- but as the dust is spread over large disc areas, such planets may orbit far from the star.

description: We use Bayesian component estimation methods to examine the prospects for large-scale polarized map and cosmological parameter estimation with simulated Planck data assuming simplified white noise properties. The sky signal is parametrized as the sum of the CMB, synchrotron emission, and thermal dust emission. The synchrotron and dust components are modelled as power-laws, with a spatially varying spectral index for synchrotron and a uniform index for dust. Using the Gibbs sampling technique, we estimate the linear polarisation Q and U posterior amplitudes of the CMB, synchrotron and dust maps as well as the two spectral indices in ~4 degree pixels. We use the recovered CMB map and its covariance in an exact pixel likelihood algorithm to estimate the optical depth to reionization tau, the tensor-to-scalar ratio r, and to construct conditional likelihood slices for the EE and BB spectra. Given our foreground model, we find sigma(tau)~0.004 for tau=0.1, sigma(r)~0.03 for a model with r=0.1, and a 95% upper limit of r<0.02 for r=0.0.

description: We investigate the temperature-disorder (T-S) phase diagram of a three-dimensional gauge glass model, which is a cubic-lattice nearest-neighbor XY model with quenched random phase shifts A_xy at the bonds, by numerical Monte Carlo simulations. We consider the uncorrelated phase-shift distribution P(A_xy)\sim \exp[(cos A_xy)/S], which has the pure XY model and the uniform distribution of random shifts as extreme cases at S=0 and S->infty respectively, and which gives rise to equal magnetic and overlap correlation functions when T=S. While the high-temperature phase is always paramagnetic, at low temperatures there is a ferromagnetic phase for weak disorder (small S) and a glassy phase at large disorder (large S). These three phases are separated by transition lines with different magnetic and glassy critical behaviors. The disorder induced by the random shifts turns out to be irrelevant at the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition line, where the critical behavior belongs to the 3D XY universality class of pure systems; disorder gives only rise to very slowly decaying scaling corrections. The glassy critical behavior along the finite-temperature paramagnetic-glassy transition line belongs to the gauge-glass universality class, with a quite large critical exponent nu=3.2(4). These transition lines meet at a multicritical point M, located at T=S=0.7840(2). The low-temperature ferromagnetic and glassy phases are separated by a third transition line, from M down to the T=0 axis, which is slightly reentrant.

description: We review the close relationship between abstract machines for (call-by-name or call-by-value) lambda-calculi (extended with Felleisen's C) and sequent calculus, reintroducing on the way Curien-Herbelin's syntactic kit expressing the duality of computation. We use this kit to provide a term language for a presentation of LK (with conjunction, disjunction, and negation), and to transcribe cut elimination as (non confluent) rewriting. A key slogan here, which may appear here in print for the first time, is that commutative cut elimination rules are explicit substitution propagation rules. We then describe the focalised proof search discipline (in the classical setting), and narrow down the language and the rewriting rules to a confluent calculus (a variant of the second author's focalising system L). We then define a game of patterns and counterpatterns, leading us to a fully focalised finitary syntax for a synthetic presentation of classical logic, that provides a quotient on (focalised) proofs, abstracting out the order of decomposition of negative connectives.

The role of social ties in the process of settlement of migrant survivors of political violence : a critical ethnographic study
Creators: name: Elez, Tatjana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: In spite of the growing numbers of civilians who are fleeing their homes for the reasons of political violence, migrant survivors of political violence are significantly overlooked in psychological theory and research. In addition, clinical and social practices and polices involving this population are seldom based on empirical findings. Even though established psychological literature identifies the significant positive role of social factors in coping with stress, trauma, and life transitions, the role of social relationships in the successful settlement of migrant survivors has seldom been explored. Due to a lack of attention to the needs of migrant survivors, and psychology’s narrow research focus on individual “pathology”, little is known about factors, such as social ties, that may contribute to successful settlement outcomes of this population. This critical ethnographic study explored the diverse experiences and roles of social ties in the process of settlement for 8 migrant survivors of political violence residing in Vancouver and Winnipeg. The research design of this study involved three distinct, yet tightly interwoven, stages: reflexivity, dialogical stage, and system’s analysis, based on information collected in the interviews, participant observation, and conversations with 8 providers of clinical services. The results of the current study contribute to Counselling Psychology’s theoretical literature on transition and multiculturalism by identifying and describing various types of migrant survivors’ social ties and their diverse roles in the participants’ settlement process. In contrast to linear, universalizing, and apolitical psychological theories of acculturation, these results suggest a conceptualization of settlement as a continuous, dynamic, interactive, and social process rooted in its larger socio-political and economic contexts. In addition to their theoretical value, these results will serve to inform clinical and social practices designed to aid settlement of migrant survivors of political violence.

description: We report measurements of noncontact friction between surfaces of NbSe$_{2}$ and SrTiO$_{3}$, and a sharp Pt-Ir tip that is oscillated laterally by a quartz tuning fork cantilever. At 4.2 K, the friction coefficients on both the metallic and insulating materials show a giant maximum at the tip-surface distance of several nanometers. The maximum is strongly correlated with an increase in the spring constant of the cantilever. These features can be understood phenomenologically by a distance-dependent relaxation mechanism with distributed time scales.

description: The study of microsystems and the development of nanotechnologies require new techniques to measure piconewton and femtonewton forces at microscopic and nanoscopic scales. Amongst the challenges, there is the need to deal with the ineluctable thermal noise, which, in the typical experimental situation of a spatial diffusion gradient, causes a spurious drift. This leads to a correction term when forces are estimated from drift measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 170602 (2010)]. Here, we provide a systematic study of such effect comparing the forces acting on various Brownian particles derived from equilibrium distribution and drift measurements. We discuss the physical origin of the correction term, its dependence on wall distance, particle radius, and its relation to the convention used to solve the respective stochastic integrals. Such correction term becomes more significant for smaller particles and is predicted to be in the order of several piconewtons for particles the size of a biomolecule.

description: We report stable laser-driven proton beam acceleration from ultrathin foils consisting of two ion species: heavier carbon ions and lighter protons. Multi-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations show that the radiation pressure leads to very fast and complete spatial separation of the species. The laser pulse does not penetrate the carbon ion layer, avoiding the proton Rayleigh-Taylor-like (RT) instability. Ultimately, the carbon ions are heated and spread extensively in space. In contrast, protons always ride on the front of the carbon ion cloud, forming a compact high quality bunch. We introduce a simple three-interface model to interpret the instability suppression in the proton layer. The model is backed by simulations of various compound foils such as carbon-deuterium (C-D) and carbon-tritium (C-T) foils. The effects of the carbon ions' charge state on proton acceleration are also investigated. It is shown that with the decrease of the carbon ion charge state, both the RT-like instability and the Coulomb explosion degrade the energy spectrum of the protons. Finally, full 3D simulations are performed to demonstrate the robustness of the stable two-ion-species regime.

description: Bestseller and blockbuster culture includes new ways of producing, distributing and experiencing media. Bestseller and blockbuster productions encompass production values in which a new type of pragmatic cooperation with external partners takes place. Films and television series are produced as platform productions for different media (cinema, television, mobile media) in combination with merchandise, franchising and destination tourism. To an increasing degree, books are published as e-books, thus contributing to changes in the culture of reading. Various agents and platforms contribute to new distributive modes of bestseller and blockbuster productions: publishers, bookshops, libraries, the DVD-market, online television channels and international cooperation agents.


The phenomenon of bestseller and blockbuster culture is the subject of investigation in this volume of Academic Quarter.

Gender Politics Orientation

Year: 2013

description: Relating the articles published in this issue to the content of the original call, this piece will turn to the gender politics orientation of the various pieces included. I will locate each of the contributions in a discussion dealing with the kind of orientation which makes up the main section of this article. That discussion will point to the enduring appeal of different feminist approaches, although, as I shall explain, not all contributions are easily appropriated to that outlook. Following on from this, I will discuss the possible significance of one pattern which is detectible in the articles, namely the fact that the conception of patriarchy is unchallenged by the articles collected here. Before approaching those tasks, however, I will provide brief summaries of the articles, grouping them in line with three sets: i) pieces which place emphasis on women, ii) articles equally focused on men and women, iii) contributions more focused on men (though they also illustrate the inseparability of the andro- and gynocentric perspectives).

Kakeya-type sets, lacunarity, and directional maximal operators in Euclidean space
Creators: name: Kroc, Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Given a Cantor-type subset Ω of a smooth curve in ℝ(d+1), we construct random examples of Euclidean sets that contain unit line segments with directions from Ω and enjoy analytical features similar to those of traditional Kakeya sets of infinitesimal Lebesgue measure. We also develop a notion of finite order lacunarity for direction sets in ℝ(d+1), and use it to extend our construction to direction sets Ω that are sublacunary according to this definition. This generalizes to higher dimensions a pair of planar results due to Bateman and Katz [4], [3]. In particular, the existence of such sets implies that the directional maximal operator associated with the direction set Ω is unbounded on Lp(ℝ(d+1)) for all 1 ≤ p < ∞.

description: We consider a recently proposed supersymmetric model based on the discrete Q6 family group.Because of the family symmetry and spontaneous CP violation the electric dipole moment (EDM), the CP violation in the mixing of the neural mesons and the dark matter mass m_DM are closely related. This triangle relation is controlled by the size of the mu parameters. Loop effects can give rise to large contributions to the soft mass insertions, and we find that the model allows a large CP violation in the B0 system. Its size is comparable with the recent experimental observations at D0 and CDF, and it could be observed at LHCb in the first years. If the parameter space is constrained by the neutron EDM, and flavor changing neutral currents and CP violations in K0 as well as B0 mixing, the triangle relation yields the following bound on the dark matter candidate: 0.12 TeV < m_DM < 0.33 TeV, which is directly observable at LHC. We also compute a_sl^s - a_sl^d, which is observable at LHCb, where a_sl^s(d) is the semi-leptonic CP asymmetryfor the B_s(d) system.

description: This paper describes the preliminary design of INTIMAL: a physical-virtual embodied interactive system for relational listening in the context of human migration, within the artistic practice of improvisatory telematic sonic performance. Informed by the Deep Listening experiences of nine Colombian migrant women in Europe, INTIMAL departs from their sensorial experience in dreams, virtual and physical spaces, for a holistic understanding of the body as interface that keeps memory of place. In counterpart with an oral archive of other women’s testimonies from the Colombian civil war, body movements, voice and spoken words act as resonances opening paths for healing experiences of loss.

description: Electronic state modulation of the armchair (6,6) carbon nanotubes filled with a linear assembly of oxygen molecules is addressed theoretically. Ferromagnetic coupling of encapsulated oxygen produces a magnetic field with cylindrical symmetry, which deviates the electron's eigenenergies from those prior to the oxygen absorption. An intriguing spectral gap arises near the Fermi energy, at which the gap formation is allowed only when the tube length equals to a multiple of three in units of carbon hexagon. A possible means to detect the selective gap formation is discussed.

description: Finite Element mesh generation remains an important issue for patient specific biomechanical modeling. While some techniques make automatic mesh generation possible, in most cases, manual mesh generation is preferred for better control over the sub-domain representation, element type, layout and refinement that it provides. Yet, this option is time consuming and not suited for intraoperative situations where model generation and computation time is critical. To overcome this problem we propose a fast and automatic mesh generation technique based on the elastic registration of a generic mesh to the specific target organ in conjunction with element regularity and quality correction. This Mesh-Match-and-Repair (MMRep) approach combines control over the mesh structure along with fast and robust meshing capabilities, even in situations where only partial organ geometry is available. The technique was successfully tested on a database of 5 pre-operatively acquired complete femora CT scans, 5 femoral heads partially digitized at intraoperative stage, and 50 CT volumes of patients' heads. The MMRep algorithm succeeded in all 60 cases, yielding for each patient a hex-dominant, Atlas based, Finite Element mesh with submillimetric surface representation accuracy, directly exploitable within a commercial FE software.

description: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the planning and implementation of the Universal Basic Education programme in Cross River State. The study discussed the implications for effective implementation. Two research questions guided the study. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of all heads of public junior secondary schools; school administrators who are directly in charge of the programme implementation, school teachers and professional bodies' example the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) in the state. A combination of stratified, proportional and judgemental sampling techniques was used in selecting a sample of 887 respondents. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire titled "Stakeholders Opinion Questionnaire on Implementation of UBE Programme (SOQIUP)". This was validated by three experts, two from Educational Management and one from Education Measurement and Evaluation in the faculty of education. A reliability estimate of 0.86 was obtained through the use of the Cronbach Alpha method. The collected data were analysed using mean, standard deviation and frequency counts. Findings indicated that the plan for the implementation of the Universal Basic Education Programme was done in a hurry, possibly without adequate consideration of necessities for its implementation in the state. The findings also revealed poor funding of education, lack of reliable statistics for planning and basic education not being free. It was, therefore, concluded that the low level of performance is associated with poor systematic needs assessment, hasty planning and implementation; hence, it was recommended that proper needs assessment be done regularly and continuously, as well as, strict adherence to the policy directives at the implementation stage.

description: We examine the problem of creating an encoded distributed storage representation of a data object for a network of mobile storage nodes so as to achieve the optimal recovery delay. A source node creates a single data object and disseminates an encoded representation of it to other nodes for storage, subject to a given total storage budget. A data collector node subsequently attempts to recover the original data object by contacting other nodes and accessing the data stored in them. By using an appropriate code, successful recovery is achieved when the total amount of data accessed is at least the size of the original data object. The goal is to find an allocation of the given budget over the nodes that optimizes the recovery delay incurred by the data collector; two objectives are considered: (i) maximization of the probability of successful recovery by a given deadline, and (ii) minimization of the expected recovery delay. We solve the problem completely for the second objective in the case of symmetric allocations (in which all nonempty nodes store the same amount of data), and show that the optimal symmetric allocation for the two objectives can be quite different. A simple data dissemination and storage protocol for a mobile delay-tolerant network is evaluated under various scenarios via simulations. Our results show that the choice of storage allocation can have a significant impact on the recovery delay performance, and that coding may or may not be beneficial depending on the circumstances.

Shape resonance at a Lifshitz transition for high temperature superconductivity in multiband superconductors

description: We discuss the shape resonance in the superconducting gaps of a two band superconductor by tuning the chemical potential at a Lifshitz transition for Femi surface neck collapsing and for spot appearing. The high temperature superconducting scenario for complex matter shows the coexistence of a first BCS condensate made of Cooper pairs in the first band and a second boson-like condensate made of bosons like bipolarons, in the second band where the chemical potential is tuned near a Lifshitz transition. The interband coupling controls the shape resonance in the pair exchange between the two condensates. We discuss the particular BCS-Bose crossover that occurs at the shape resonance tuning the Lifshitz parameter (the energy difference between the chemical potential and the Lifshitz topological transition) like tuning the external magnetic field for the Feshbach resonances in ultracold gases. This superconducting phase provides a particular case of topological superconductivity with multiple condensates of different winding numbers

What allows us to kinesthetically empathize with motions of non-anthropomorphic objects?
Creators: name: Miyoshi, Kensho
Publisher: name: The Journal of Somaesthetics

description: The physical movements of designed objects not only have utilitarian purposes but also make us experience the diverse kinetic sensations. Such an imaginative projection of one’s own embodied sensation to observed movements is called “kinesthetic empathy”. Despite the majority of its research focused on observation of human movements, little is known about how kinesthetic empathy works with the movements of everyday, non-anthropomorphic objects. Through my close observations, I propose a new concept of “kinesthetic elements” that help us understand the kinesthetic potential of object motions beyond somatic dissimilarity.

title: Bayesian Signal Recovery with Noisy Side Information in Compressed Sensing
Creators: name: Abdullahu, Kushtrim
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Compressed Sensing
subject: Single-PIxel Imaging

description: In this thesis we will explore how to combine compressed sensing recovery of several sets of variables, given several sets of measurements when the overall measurement matrix has certain structure. A problem with compressed sensing can be that the dimension of the signal to be recovered is very large and, hence, the measurement matrix is very large in some specific applications e.g. imaging problems. Matrices of large dimensions are hard to handle, so the idea is to investigate specific structures which reduce complexity and storage. One way is to introduce a structure where the measurement matrix is formed from sub-blocks (submatrices) in our case 5, 8 and 10 sub-blocks, where we implement the BAMP algorithm on these submatrices of the measurement matrix, and by exploiting the results of each BAMP, we will have more measurements (partially modified) for other BAMPs on other submatrices. In the end we will compare the results of this structure with the results of applying the BAMP on the full measurement matrix.

description: We describe an event-based approach to simulate the propagation of an electromagnetic plane wave through dielectric media. The basic building block is a deterministic learning machine that is able to simulate a plane interface. We show that a network of two of such machines can simulate the propagation of light through a plane parallel plate. With properly chosen parameters this setup can be used as a beam splitter. The modularity of the simulation method is illustrated by constructing a Mach-Zehnder interferometer from plane parallel plates, the whole system reproducing the results of wave theory. A generalization of the event-based model of the plane parallel plate is also used to simulate a periodically stratified medium.

Ensemble, Entrainment, and Movement in the Mess of the Matter: Non-anthropocentric Design of Responsive-Media Environments

description: In this paper, we describe an experimental approach to the study of coordinated group activity (ensemble) through the development of a responsive media system and enacted movement-based research. Interested in how ensembles emerge, we take into account the material conditions of phenomena associated with coordination and entrainment. To this end we share about the development of a responsive media system and as well as a series of movement experiments with the system. As a unframing tactic, we suspend ontological assumptions which occlude, mask, or ignore relation and event as emergent and unprestateable. This tactic belies both our observations of event as well as the design of responsive behaviors in the media environment apparatus. Our investigations yielded insights for us about embodied experience with respect to technicity.

description: We present a spectroscopic test confirming the potential of narrow-band optical imaging as a method for detecting star-forming satellites around nearby galaxies. To date the efficiency of such methods, and particularly the fraction of false detections resulting from its use, has not been tested. In this paper we use optical spectroscopy to verify the nature of objects that are apparently emission-line satellites, taken from imaging presented elsewhere. Observations of 12 probable satellites around 11 host galaxies are presented and used to compare the recession velocities of the host and satellite. This test confirms, in all cases, that there is genuine line emission, that the detected line is hydrogen alpha, and that the satellites have similar recession velocities to their hosts with a maximum difference of ~ 250 km/s, consistent with their being gravitationally bound companions. We conclude that the spectroscopy has confirmed that narrow-band imaging through H alpha filters is a reliable method for detecting genuine, star-forming satellites with low contamination from galaxies seen in projection along the line-of-sight.

description: We presented an antibiotic-loaded γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework that delivered antibiotics suitable for the treatment of bacterial infections. The γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework was developed using γ-cyclodextrin and potassium ion via the ultrasonic method. The antibiotic (florfenicol and enrofloxacin) was primarily encapsulated into the pore structures of γ-CD-MOF, which allowed the sustained release of antibiotics over an extended period of time in vitro and in vivo. Notably, antibiotics-loaded γ-CD-MOF showed much superior activity against bacteria than free antibiotics (lower MIC value) and displayed better long-lasting activity (longer antibacterial time). The antibiotics-loaded γ-CD-MOF showed nontoxic and perfect biocompatibility to mammalian cells and tissues both in vitro and in vivo. These materials thus represent a novel drug-delivery device suitable for antibiotic therapy. This research is of great significance for reducing the generation of bacterial resistance and providing new ideas for the application of γ-CD-MOF.
