description: In his book New Dark Age, artist James Biddle argues that our cultural moment is characterised by obfuscation, where ‘technology itself hides its own agency—through opaque machines and inscrutable code’. As a result, we experience technology less through understanding its functionality and more through the affects it generates as it shapes our day-to-day experience of shopping, dating and socialising. For Berry and Dieter this phenomenon is reflected in contemporary art, where artists are no longer obsessively fascinated with the functional value of computation such as interactivity but grapple instead with a broader set of affectations that emerge from hyper-digital lives. In this sense, artists give technological imaginaries form, as they draw attention to the affective repercussions of a digital world that is defined by the opacity of its digital images.This presentation will explore ‘persuasive design’— design techniques that are concealed in social and commercial interfaces to encourage consumption or increase time on device—through recent works of contemporary art. Examples of persuasive design include infinite scroll; information feeds that produce endlessly refreshed content, activating neurological stressors that manipulate users. Recent works by Matt Collishaw and Katriona Beales have both made visible elements of infinite scroll that are concealed in everyday internet use, drawing attention to acts of persuasion that remain obfuscated during online shopping and surfing. The paper will argue that these acts of making visible afford opportunities for resisting persuasive design, in a hyper-digital era that constantly seeks to shape our emotional and affective lives.

description: Photographer and media artist Elke Reinhuber explores the dark side of a tropical paradise in which almost every aspect of life seems to be too good to be true. Living there for more than half a decade, the location came very close to her imagination of Eden. Everything is clean and tidy, people from different ethnicities and cultures live peacefully together in harmony – all compromising to communicate in an acquired language, softly – hardly anyone ever speaks up or expresses a strong opinion. The city-state’s character is shaped by the very far-reaching intervention in the existence of all of its residents. The full habitat is exposed to a constant revision and optimisation – this encroaching regime begins with the handling of the topography. The metropolis is in an ongoing process of terraforming by extending the coastline into the sea, levelling the hills and then compacting the swamps with the overburden; rivers were relocated, lagoons were turned into inland lakes, in short, nature was brought= under complete control. This total command feels so self-evident that every aspect of surveillance and punishment – if any of the rules are violated – is understood as part of the social contract. However, looking behind the façade will reveal only what everyone already knows, like on the “Titanic”, the machine deck hides the relevant people in the dark. The artistic research examines how the comfort and fear of total control, self-censorship and constant surveillance may be observed and expressed in independent artistic projects.

Heat transfer in sunspot penumbrae. Origin of dark-cored penumbral filaments

description: Context: Observations at 0.1" have revealed the existence of dark cores in the bright filaments of sunspot penumbrae. Expectations are high that such dark-cored filaments are the basic building blocks of the penumbra, but their nature remains unknown. Aims: We investigate the origin of dark cores in penumbral filaments and the surplus brightness of the penumbra. To that end we use an uncombed penumbral model. Methods: The 2D stationary heat transfer equation is solved in a stratified atmosphere consisting of nearly horizontal magnetic flux tubes embedded in a stronger and more vertical field. The tubes carry an Evershed flow of hot plasma. Results: This model produces bright filaments with dark cores as a consequence of the higher density of the plasma inside the tubes, which shifts the surface of optical depth unity toward higher (cooler) layers. Our calculations suggest that the surplus brightness of the penumbra is a natural consequence of the Evershed flow, and that magnetic flux tubes about 250 km in diameter can explain the morphology of sunspot penumbrae.

description: Programs with multiphase control-flow are programs where the execution passes through several (possibly implicit) phases. Proving termination of such programs (or inferring corresponding runtime bounds) is often challenging since it requires reasoning on these phases separately. In this paper we discuss techniques for proving termination of such programs, in particular: (1) using multiphase ranking functions, where we will discuss theoretical aspects of such ranking functions for several kinds of program representations; and (2) using control-flow refinement, in particular partial evaluation of Constrained Horn Clauses, to simplify the control-flow allowing, among other things, to prove termination with simpler ranking functions.

description: A well-established approach to reasoning about loops during program analysis is to capture the effect of a loop by extracting recurrences from the loop; these express relationships between the values of variables, or program properties such as cost, on successive loop iterations. Recurrence solvers are capable of computing closed forms for some recurrences, thus deriving precise relationships capturing the complete loop execution. However, many recurrences extracted from loops cannot be solved, due to their having multiple recursive cases or multiple arguments. In the literature, several techniques for approximating the solution of unsolvable recurrences have been proposed. The approach presented in this paper is to define transformations based on regular path expressions and loop counters that (i) transform multi-path loops to single-path loops, giving rise to recurrences with a single recursive case, and (ii) transform multi-argument recurrences to single-argument recurrences, thus enabling the use of recurrence solvers on the transformed recurrences. Using this approach, precise solutions can sometimes be obtained that are not obtained by approximation methods.

description: Higher-order constrained Horn clauses (HoCHC) are a semantically-invariant system of higher-order logic modulo theories. With semi-decidable unsolvability over a semi-decidable background theory, HoCHC is suitable for safety verification. Less is known about its relation to larger classes of higher-order verification problems. Motivated by program equivalence, we introduce a coinductive version of HoCHC that enjoys a greatest model property. We define an encoding of higher-order recursion schemes (HoRS) into HoCHC logic programs. Correctness of this encoding reduces decidability of the open HoRS equivalence problem -- and, thus, the LambdaY-calculus Böhm tree equivalence problem -- to semi-decidability of coinductive HoCHC over a complete and decidable theory of trees.

description: What does it mean to speak generally of ‘the image’, as if the term were somehow preferable to referring to ‘art’ or ‘aesthetics’? The term ‘image’ seems more inclusive, less bound by the constraints of art’s traditional strategies of unconvincing autonomy or failed dissolution. It suggests a wider universe and seems to encompass, at least metaphorically, everything that we may wish to consider - whether the commercial image, or the plethora of inhuman, technically captured images, or the infinite field of social media images or the residual field of laboriously crafted one-offs (fine art paintings, drawing, photographs, etc.). My aim in this paper is to question this assumption, this sense that the notion of image is general, sufficient and adequate. It aims to question it not only conceptually, but practically in terms of changed circumstances. The notion of image assumes an extravagant relation to space and time that is no longer available to us. It assumes a profligate logic of repetition and loss - spatialisation and delay - that is less universal than profoundly historically and materially circumscribed.My argument has its specific basis in a response to French philosopher Jacques Ranciere’s claims about the ‘ethical regime of images’, which he associates with Plato’s condemnation of the truth value of representations and the educative value of poetry. I suggest that this emphasis on ‘images’ neglects the oral cultural character of the ancient world, which have the potential to inform a very different conception of the space, time and potential of contemporary art and aesthetics.
X-ray diffraction studies on lithium intercalated MoS[2]
Creators: name: Wainwright, David Stanley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Li[sub x]MoS₂. samples were prepared by cathodically intercalating a MoS₂ powder cathode with lithium. X-ray diffraction patterns of these samples were taken using the Debye-Scherrer method. From these patterns, the crystal structure of the lithium intercalated M0S₂ was determined as a function of cell voltage. There is no apparent change in the powder patterns until a phase transition occurs in the sample at ≃1.1 V. This transition appears to involve a slipping of lattice planes in the M0S₂ crystal. Straining of the lattice is evident after this phase transition takes place. Non-uniform straining blurred the X-ray pictures with the result that the structure of the new phase could not be unambiguously determined. It does seem certain though, that an aligning of the Mo atoms takes place in this transition. The new phase could be fit to a hexagonal unit cell. The lattice parameters were measured over a charge-discharge cycle in the new phase. The unit cell parameters reversibly change throughout a cycle, implying that intercalation takes place. The c axis exhibits a maximum with increasing lithium content, while the a axis increases monotonically. The volume of the unit cell increases smoothly however, reaching a maximum value some 15% larger than the original. Another phase transition may take place at ≃ 0.55 V. Samples discharged below this voltage appear almost amorphous in the powder patterns, possibly due to extreme non-uniform straining of the lattice. Some decomposition products of the Li-MoS₂ cells have also been discovered.

description: The recent discovery and initial characterization of sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets that receive stellar irradiance of approximately Earth's raised the prospect of finding habitable planets in the coming decade, because some of these temperate planets may support liquid water oceans if they do not have massive H2/He envelopes and are thus not too hot at the bottom of the envelopes. For planets larger than Earth, and especially planets in the 1.7-3.5 R_Earth population, the mass of the H2/He envelope is typically not sufficiently constrained to assess the potential habitability. Here we show that the solubility equilibria vs. thermochemistry of carbon and nitrogen gases results in observable discriminators between small H2 atmospheres vs. massive ones, because the condition to form a liquid-water ocean and that to achieve the thermochemical equilibrium are mutually exclusive. The dominant carbon and nitrogen gases are typically CH4 and NH3 due to thermochemical recycling in a massive atmosphere of a temperate planet, and those in a small atmosphere overlying a liquid-water ocean are most likely CO2 and N2, followed by CO and CH4 produced photochemically. NH3 is depleted in the small atmosphere by dissolution into the liquid-water ocean. These gases lead to distinctive features in the planet's transmission spectrum, and a moderate number of repeated transit observations with the James Webb Space Telescope should tell apart a small atmosphere vs. a massive one on planets like K2-18 b. This method thus provides a way to use near-term facilities to constrain the atmospheric mass and habitability of temperate sub-Neptune exoplanets.

description: In 2009 at the Reboot 11 conference in Copenhagen, Bruce Sterling delivered one of his signature “closing rants” in which he characterised the coming decade as being overwhelmed by a sense of dark euphoria. The primary image he conjured was of a generation “afraid of the sky”, a state of endless freefall – between the duality of shiny techno-futurism and its dark gothic underbelly. A black silhouette spiralling out of control is an image imprint that runs from Vertigo to Mad Men to Gravity and of course most explicitly, to the eerie repose of the falling man on 9/11.This paper will seek to unpack not only the nature and texture of the fall but the accumulative image bank upon which this this scene is etched. Game worlds, Hollywood cinema and television all prophesize the post-millennial technological catastrophe in a variety of lusty visual forms. What however, does the end actually look like? Down in the weeds as it were; what are the signature tropes of such mediated ecologies – of networks, precious metals, silicon and liquid colour. The tangible stuff that give an aesthetics of darkness its permanent and enduring form?In this conflicting age of techno-cultural seduction and environmental anxiety - in this Anthropocene of our creation - the desirable sci-fi trope of speculative futurists, “the return to the farm,” is no longer viable. We passed it somewhere on the way down. The image of the Earth, as captured by Apollo 8, co-opted by Stuart Brand, digitised by Google and commodified by Amazon has consolidated its virtual turn. So where does that narrative of affect and virtuality turn next?The twenty-teens are behind us, 2020 has certainly arrived with a clang, but it doesn’t feel like a “nontwentieth century space”. The darkness from which we seek to emerge persists – the forever war, surveillance architecture, the attention economy and platform capitalism endure, indeed they thrive. Now that the present is no longer rushing up from below, how do we navigate the final Act of Sterling's gothic moment?

description: This paper explores blackness as a provocation, a rupture at the heart of art’s polemic. It does not seek to be a thing, but a resonant force to proclaim a discourse of discovery for a new visual language. Theblackness is the expanse that the artist meanders through having neither a compass nor stars to navigate, marks an unheard refrain to try and state their territory.Any tool to measure the darkness implies there is something that can be defined, demarcated or discovered, as though darkness has a scale, size or shape. Darkness is not anything whilst being something, the infinitely smallest perturbation, energy shift, fluctuation that cannot be seen, to cause the disturbance for a recognition to take place.When images become saturated, blended and consumed in an ‘unregulated gluttony’ they produce darkness. It dwells in the collective unconsciousness: a dark, digital Eden ripe with uncertain potential. The search begins through the compression, like an allotrope of carbon, the future for the image world has to be discovered and encountered by moving through the darkness, enabling our senses, our proprioception to be able to accept the unacceptable, to deal with the unknowable. Commissioning our comprehension of position, momentum and equilibrium in the blackest of black forests to find alternative experiential references that channel us into a counter enlightenment.This paper focuses on the artist as a quantum flâneur, a prodigy of Lucretius falling through the vortices and laminar flows of darkness, waiting for the moment of the unpredictable swerve. Specific Artists whose work will be explored are Kasimir Malevich, Frederik de Wilde and Paul Thomas in the search for a new Eden.

description: Based upon flavor SU(3) symmetry, we perform global fits to charmless B decays into one pseudoscalar meson and one vector meson in the final states. We consider different symmetry breaking schemes and find that the one implied by na{ï}ve factorization is slightly favored over the exact symmetry case. The $(\barρ,\barη)$ vertex of the unitarity triangle (UT) constrained by our fits is consistent with other methods within errors. We have found large color-suppressed, electroweak penguin and singlet penguin amplitudes when the spectator quark ends up in the final-state vector meson. Nontrivial relative strong phases are also required to explain the data. The best-fit parameters are used to compute branching ratio and CP asymmetry observables in all of the decay modes, particularly those in the $B_s$ decays to be measured at the Tevatron and LHC experiments.

description: The processes and temporalities of decay, growth, contamination, and more-than-human entanglements are often invisible to the human eye, even when they occur in the intimacy of domestic settings. For example, a bowl of fruit that's left unconsumed, decays and becomes home to its own complex ecosystem of bacteria; while synthetic chemical environments can spill out from lawns into curbsides, impacting larger ecosystems. To be able to notice these processes humans require the assistance of temporally or spatially translating objects, such as microscopes, cameras and satellites.In this paper I present aspects of my practice-based research, suggesting that through experimentation with timelapse photography and compositing, cinematic images can expand and disrupt simple cause and effect relations that unfold in an untroubled temporal manner. By visualising domestic events as folds that can be brought into close proximity with larger systems and ecologies, film-makers, artists and researchers can reframe audience relationships to the ecological crisis of late capitalism’s accelerated and quantitative temporalities.Alongside this project of temporal visualisation, I reflect on my own actions and entanglements and propose that a situated cinematic practice that prioritises care and noticing can bring the film-maker into contact with more qualitative timescapes.

description: A legacy of Dark Edens flail within our attempts to synthetically manipulate nature, acting like transport proteins in a cell membrane that allow infiltration of both good and evil to emerge in contemporary imaginings of self and other.In trying to trace the steps of how a virus can jump species and achieve word-wide proliferation, we set out to establish both scientific and philosophical phylogenetic trees that will allow us to point backwards to a visualized emergence point. And in our pointing, both cultural and biological lines of transgressions maneuver on tracks within our cellular and granular memories akin to lysosomes traveling along microtubular pathways attempting to dispose of our complicitness.In striving to determine the proximal origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we examine intersections of geographic location, time points and mutation rates of specimens to elucidating common ancestry and species divergence. But in our origin stories, both moral and aesthetic judgements lurk in the telling.Speculations are being made as to whether the virus has a known backbone, how cell passaging allows for rapid mutation and adaptation, what circumstances facilitate modifications that enable viral species jumping, and how viral taxonomy defines “novelty” and “species demarkation.”As culture is pipetted out both “within” and “against” nature, how do we listen to signaling cells and the soft noise of aesthetic markers in ecosystems that allow us to hear when we are too immersed, too close and in need to stepping back?

description: The B^0 -> J/ψK_{S,L} channels are outstanding probes of CP violation. We have a detailed look at the associated Standard-Model uncertainties, which are related to doubly Cabibbo-suppressed penguin contributions, and point out that these usually neglected effects can actually be taken into account unambiguously through the CP asymmetries and the branching ratio of the B^0 -> J/ψpi^0 decay. Using the most recent B-factory measurements, we find a negative shift of the extracted value of beta, which softens the tension in the fits of the unitarity triangle. In addition, this strategy can be used to constrain a possible new-physics phase in B^0-\bar B^0 mixing. The proposed strategy is crucial to fully exploit the tremendous accuracies for the search for this kind of new physics that can be achieved at the LHC and future super-flavour factories.

description: The Archive’s soil specimens are invaluable time capsules for assessing temporal changes in soil properties”. Physical samples are a basic element for reference, study,and experimentation in research. There is an urgent need for better integrating these physical objects into the digital research data ecosystem, both in a global and in aninterdisciplinary context to support scientific reuse.The CREA collection, located at the Experimental Farm of Fagna, Scarperia (FI), stores specimens and associated metadata. It covers all major agricultural and forestrysoil landscapes in Italy for organic and mineral horizons. Parameters include water impedance, rooting depth, stoniness, Coarse fraction, particle size, pH, organic carbon,and total carbonates, World Reference Base classification. Part of collected samples was recently received and is temporarily stored unordered.With the present work, a tool was developed to expose both metadata, digital research data, displacement to support FAIR principles. The tool was developed by meansof Ms Power BI. The original local Ms Access database was stored on the cloud and connected to the tool to allow automatic updates. Geographic and semantic queriesare graphically implemented through drop-down menus and pie charts on administrative units; Soil districts; European Environments; Land use; WRB; and Project.The tool expose data collected by 13 different projects from 1986 to 2017. Contains 13,231 analyzed observations (pedological profiles, minipits,or augerings) for a total of 33,523 samples. Soil properties resulted in ranging for Clay: 0.1-93.5 (29,9 average); Sand: 0.0-99.4 (17.9), pH (water):3.9-9.7 (7.5); Organic carbon: 0.0-53.4 (7.8); Total carbonates: 0.0-91.4 (5.5) for the whole dataset. Textural composition of every Reference SoilGroup (24 out of 32) is presented as Bar Histogram. A navigation panel allows to preview the site location and storing collocation.Although samples access is restricted, data and storing displacement are exposed to support use of the data and specimen's reuse. Thedeveloped tool represents a first attempt to expose both metadata, soil data and filtering capabilities.

description: When observing the role of the digital image in contemporary society, it is easy to become cynical. Advances in computer science that afford image-based discourse are often influenced by nefarious drivers: drone surveillance and facial recognition limit privacy, while AI-driven deepfakes, informed by art and design practice, spread misinformation and often ethically shameful pornography.Although this dystopia of codified images threatens to smother us, communities representing a lighter side of image generation, and the collision of art and science, exist. Rather than serving opposing political masters to their counterparts, however, these communities allude to an almost a-political mode of creative and scientific expression. These communities represent a sort of “digital utopia”. To explore this notion, this paper will examine the Demoscene community.Demoscene emerged from the computing underground of the late 1970s, where “Demosceners” would produce real-time audio-visual productions, aimed at pushing the limitations of coder, artist, and hardware. Demosceners are driven to “achieve the impossible” by pushing machines of the time via creative algorithmic programming, outputting inspiring generative art. Famously, Demosceners create art using machines such as the Commodore 64, Amiga 500/1000, ZX Spectrum, Atari, PC.In effect, Demoscene exists for “pure” reasons, driven by artistic and algorithmic passion. A global phenomenon, Demoscene represents an alternative to the agenda-driven practices of image manipulation, vision and generation. Although a truly non-political space is impossible, exploring Demoscene from this perspective provides a remedy to the Dark Eden we find ourselves in online. After all, it is the impossible that Demoscene seeks to overcome.

description: There is a sufficiently large $N\in h\mathbb{N}$ such that the following holds. If $G$ is a tripartite graph with $N$ vertices in each vertex class such that every vertex is adjacent to at least $2N/3+2h-1$ vertices in each of the other classes, then $G$ can be tiled perfectly by copies of $K_{h,h,h}$. This extends work by two of the authors [Electron. J. Combin, 16(1), 2009] and also gives a sufficient condition for tiling by any fixed 3-colorable graph. Furthermore, we show that $2N/3+2h-1$ in our result can not be replaced by $2N/3+ h-2$ and that if $N$ is divisible by $6h$, then we can replace it with the value $2N/3+h-1$ and this is tight.

However, across this spectrum of usage there is also an insoluble equivocation in every contemporary encounter with our masked faces: either the mask is a protection for others (the wearer is possibly infected), or it is a protection from others (the other is possibly infected). That vacillation expresses an ethical dilemma. In a milieu in which “community transmission” and “contact tracing” become the crucial vectors for governmental charting and containment of the contagion, the mask can signify an admission that one might endanger others, or the suspicion that everyone else is a danger and a threat. On one hand duty of care, on the other survivalist accusation.But that equivocation itself masks a dark ethos, rather than ethic, as the superposition of the images of self and other, of mortality and survival, forges a complexion and ceremony of the undead. The strategy of social distancing emblematised in the public coinage of the mask can be correlated with the new exposure of faces in the quasi-privacy of Instagram selfies and Zoom chat rooms. The face becomes an agent of this contagion, as if the mask as well as its correlate Zoom or Instagram telepresence might be a post-Edenic fig-leaf concealing — by distancing — a contagious and obscene dark matter.

description: The shifting forms and colours visible on the inside of our eyelids in a darkened room are produced by phosphenes -- particles of light emitted from cells within the retina, which are detected by the optic nerve and imaged by the visual cortex. In this presentation, we briefly review how phosphenes have been the subject of contemporary artworks and are hypothesised to have inspired Palaeolithic cave art. We then introduce “Phosphene Expressionism”, one of the contemplative practices that make up The Playful Eye, an interactive experience designed for art museum visitors, which we have delivered in physical and virtual art museum spaces in the United States, Germany and Australia. Conference participants will be invited to experience the practice for themselves, preparing the ground for the final section, in which we discuss the implications of the phosphene phenomenon for understanding the ontology of the artwork; the roles of artist and art museum visitor; the relationship between interior and exterior space at the margins of the hallucinogenic; and the ways in which the phenomenon illuminates, metaphorically and literally, the supersaturated darkness of the contemporary image.

description: What does it mean to speak generally of ‘the image’, as if the term were somehow preferable to referring to ‘art’ or ‘aesthetics’? The term ‘image’ seems more inclusive, less bound by the constraints of art’s traditional strategies of unconvincing autonomy or failed dissolution. It suggests a wider universe and seems to encompass, at least metaphorically, everything that we may wish to consider - whether the commercial image, or the plethora of inhuman, technically captured images, or the infinite field of social media images or the residual field of laboriously crafted one-offs (fine art paintings, drawing, photographs, etc.). My aim in this paper is to question this assumption, this sense that the notion of image is general, sufficient and adequate. It aims to question it not only conceptually, but practically in terms of changed circumstances. The notion of image assumes an extravagant relation to space and time that is no longer available to us. It assumes a profligate logic of repetition and loss - spatialisation and delay - that is less universal than profoundly historically and materially circumscribed.My argument has its specific basis in a response to French philosopher Jacques Ranciere’s claims about the ‘ethical regime of images’, which he associates with Plato’s condemnation of the truth value of representations and the educative value of poetry. I suggest that this emphasis on ‘images’ neglects the oral cultural character of the ancient world, which have the potential to inform a very different conception of the space, time and potential of contemporary art and aesthetics.

Persuasive Design and the Art of Resistance: Making the Dark Image Visible

description: In his book New Dark Age, artist James Biddle argues that our cultural moment is characterised by obfuscation, where ‘technology itself hides its own agency—through opaque machines and inscrutable code’. As a result, we experience technology less through understanding its functionality and more through the affects it generates as it shapes our day-to-day experience of shopping, dating and socialising. For Berry and Dieter this phenomenon is reflected in contemporary art, where artists are no longer obsessively fascinated with the functional value of computation such as interactivity but grapple instead with a broader set of affectations that emerge from hyper-digital lives. In this sense, artists give technological imaginaries form, as they draw attention to the affective repercussions of a digital world that is defined by the opacity of its digital images.This presentation will explore ‘persuasive design’— design techniques that are concealed in social and commercial interfaces to encourage consumption or increase time on device—through recent works of contemporary art. Examples of persuasive design include infinite scroll; information feeds that produce endlessly refreshed content, activating neurological stressors that manipulate users. Recent works by Matt Collishaw and Katriona Beales have both made visible elements of infinite scroll that are concealed in everyday internet use, drawing attention to acts of persuasion that remain obfuscated during online shopping and surfing. The paper will argue that these acts of making visible afford opportunities for resisting persuasive design, in a hyper-digital era that constantly seeks to shape our emotional and affective lives.
The augmented message-matrix approach to deterministic dense coding theory

description: A method is presented for producing analytical results applicable to the standard two-party deterministic dense coding protocol, wherein communication of K perfectly distinguishable messages is attainable with the aid of K selected local unitary operations on one qudit from a pair of entangled qudits of equal dimension d in a pure state. The method utilizes the properties of a (d^2)x(d^2) unitary matrix whose initial columns represent message states of the system used for communication, augmented by sufficiently many additional orthonormal column vectors so that the resulting matrix is unitary. Using the unitarity properties of this augmented message-matrix, we produce simple proofs of previously established results including (i) an upper bound on the value of the square of the largest Schmidt coefficient, given by d/K, and (ii) the impossibility of finding a pure state that can enable transmission of K=d^2-1 messages but not d^2. Additional results obtained using the method include proofs that when K=d+1 the upper bound on the square of the largest Schmidt coefficient (i) always reduces to at least (1/2)[1+sqrt{(d-2)/(d+2)}], and (ii) reduces to (d-1)/d in the special case that the identity and shift operators are two of the selected local unitaries.

description: Images exist at the interstices between human perceptual experience and its technological mediation. This is especially relevant as the development and implementation of technologies offers new possibilities to produce visualisations from data. In so doing, technological mediation tangibly augments relations between how images are produced, experienced, and interpreted.The present incorporation of machine learning into various forms of visual media offers insight into this issue by enabling images to be produced as the result of the statistical analysis of datasets. Computational relations which are extracted and inferred between features within images help to construct learned representations which are in turn used to generate images. This results in a form of computationally determined representation which is informed by the interpretive processes performed by machines.Existing notions of technically-produced images often prove inadequate for the description of the visual artefacts of machine learning, leaning heavily on historical narratives regarding the technical production of images and even perpetuating inaccuracies. These tend to misconstrue images either as accurate reflections of reality or as the product of artificial perception and genius by virtue of their engagement with technological processes.Through a media archaeological approach, this paper addresses how current notions of image production remain tied to historical ideas which anthropomorphise and which overestimate the role played by machines, while minimising the role played by humans therein. It seeks to clarify the mediating role played by visual technologies and to demonstrate how images produced using machine learning offer new ways of approaching theories of the image.

description: Locomotion and generation of flow at low Reynolds number are subject to severe limitations due to the irrelevance of inertia: the "scallop theorem" requires that the system have at least two degrees of freedom, which move in non-reciprocal fashion, i.e. breaking time-reversal symmetry. We show here that a minimal model consisting of just two spheres driven by harmonic potentials is capable of generating flow. In this pump system the two degrees of freedom are the mean and relative positions of the two spheres. We have performed and compared analytical predictions, numerical simulation and experiments, showing that a time-reversible drive is sufficient to induce flow.
