description: Opera fantasias have been denigrated as insufficiently intellectual or serious, as derivative, as merely popular or sentimental. However, many of the perceived flaws were, if not hallmarks, at least accepted realities of Italian opera composing. Like opera itself, the opera fantasia is a popular art form, stylistically predictable yet formally flexible, based heavily on past operatic tradition and prefabricated materials. I approach opera fantasias, instrumental works that use themes from a single opera as the body of their virtuosic and flamboyant material, both historically and theoretically, concentrating on compositions written for and by woodwind-instrument performers in Italy in the second half of the nineteenth century. Important overlapping strands in my theoretical framework include the concept of virtuosity and its gradual demonization, the strong gendered overtones of individual woodwind instruments and of virtuosity, the distinct Italian context of these fantasias, the presentation and alteration of opera narratives in opera fantasias, and the technical and social development of woodwind instruments. I have uncovered a large body of compositions and composers, many of whom have not been written about in English, through archival research in Milan, Naples, Parma, Bologna, and Palermo. This reveals trends in operas used for fantasias, temporally, spatially, and between instruments, as well as further trends in the use of specific melodies. I use contemporary reviews of performances and compositions to attest to the popularity of the opera fantasia throughout the second half of the nineteenth century in Italy, including oboist Antonio Pasculli as a case study. This often overlooked genre is intimately tied to the central canon and deeply connected to its social and musical contexts. Approaching the opera fantasia as a coherent and meaningful group of works clarifies a genre that has been consciously stifled and cultural resonances that still impact music reception and performance today.

description: Vital biological processes such as genome repair require fast and efficient binding of selected proteins to specific target sites on DNA. Here we propose an active target search mechanism based on "chromophoresis", the dynamics of DNA-binding proteins up or down gradients in the density of epigenetic marks, or colours (biochemical tags on the genome). We focus on a set of proteins that deposit marks from which they are repelled---a case which is only encountered away from thermodynamic equilibrium. For suitable ranges of kinetic parameter values, chromophoretic proteins can perform unidirectional motion and are optimally redistributed along the genome. Importantly, they can also locally unravel a region of the genome which is collapsed due to self-interactions and "dive" deep into its core, for a striking enhancement of the efficiency of target search on such an inaccessible substrate. We discuss the potential relevance of chromophoresis for the location of DNA lesions.

description: A significant increase in the global demand of animal products is expected in the near future, because of evolving food consumption patterns in emerging countries. To fulfil the needs, a “Livestock Revolution” should occur and it will have to target in priority smallholder farms in developing countries, as they are the main actors in supply chains of milk and meat. To achieve such an increase in milk yield and live weight gain within numerous farms, new tools of intervention have to be tested. In fact, in many developing countries, State services are currently withdrawing from their traditional support to farmers, and therefore innovative methods should be set-up. They will also require a more responsible implication of the stakeholders in supply chains, particularly with well organized farmers’ associations. In areas characterized by water stress and climate change, this should be a top priority issue in the agenda of agricultural development institutions. As livestock production involves many processes from water to forage biomass elaboration and dietary rations conceptions, it is generally acknowledged that it necessitates important volumes of water. In this article, an example of an intervention research is presented from the Tadla irrigation scheme (centre of Morocco) as an illustration of intensive cattle production in a context of irrigation in a semi arid region (less than 300 mm of annual rainfall). Results related to follow-ups of water productivity through cattle farming and trials to increase the average milk yield per cow are presented. A reflection on the possibilities to use "virtual water" and on the generalisation of such methods to a whole population of dairy farmers in a supply basin (i.e. an irrigation scheme) is finally developed with its consequences on the economic sustainability of smallholder units. Thus, a capacity building process is urgently required to upgrade farmers’ performances. This will induce the adoption of sound on-farm practices, from irrigation systems to soil fertility management and forage biomass production. It will also rely on the continuous design of balanced dietary rations for lactating cows and their impacts on cattle load (number of cattle per ha of forage). Finally, more attention should be paid to the existing farmers’ co-operatives, which would constitute crucial operators in disseminating innovation processes to face the challenges of water shortage in cattle production systems.

We report here on the detail morphological study for the central host galaxy and the polar structure in all PRGs of our sample. Total magnitudes, bulge-to-disk decomposition and structural parameters are computed for all objects. These data are crucial for an accurate modeling of the stellar population and the estimate of the star formation rates in the two components.

description: This dissertation provides a critical assessment of Laura Terracina (1519-c.1577) and her works. It argues that she was a consummate product of her age, embodying the tensions which ruled the Italian peninsula. Terracina published eight books and left a ninth in manuscript at the time of her death, winning legions of admirers and making her sixteenth-century Italy’s most commercially successful female author. Yet in spite of her enormous popularity amongst her contemporaries, scholarship has largely neglected Terracina. This dissertation will open up an overdue field of enquiry into her life and works, exploring the significance of her role as a sixteenth-century female poet through the lenses of gender and class. By mapping her place in the literary landscape, it is hoped that this thesis will encourage scholars to afford Terracina the attention she so richly deserves. The first chapter of the dissertation situates Terracina as a poet of Naples, seeing her as a product of her family’s political standing within the city, her academician status, and her own construction of an urban coterie of supporters. The second chapter considers the mechanics of the journey into print, assessing Terracina’s own input and her close collaboration with male editors and publishers. It proposes a greater attribution of agency to Terracina than has thus far been made, arguing that she is, in fact, an important figure in the process of her texts reaching the hands of readers. The third chapter considers how the poet used her printed books as social tools, employing them to gain social and literary capital. The second section of the dissertation looks at two thematic strands within Terracina’s poetry. Chapter four considers her political poetry, including her attitude towards the harm done to civilian populations across Europe. Chapter five looks at the religious dimension to Terracina’s work, the spiritual poetry written in her later years, and the relationship this bears to her secular lyric. Finally, the dissertation concludes with a chapter on the contemporary reception of Terracina’s texts, providing preliminary thoughts on how she was read, before closing with a consideration of her literary afterlife in the centuries that followed.

description: At low temperature T, a significant difference between the behavior of crystals on the one hand and disordered solids on the other is seen: sufficiently strong disorder can give rise to a transition of the transport properties from conducting behavior with finite resistance R to insulating behavior with R=infinity as T -> 0. This well-studied phenomenon is called the disorder-driven metal-insulator transition and it is characteristic to non-crystalline solids. In this review of recent advances, we have presented results of transport studies in disordered systems, ranging from modifications of the standard Anderson model of localization to effects of a two-body interaction. Of paramount importance in these studies was always the highest possible accuracy of the raw data combined with the careful subsequent application of the finite-size scaling technique. In fact, it is this scaling method that has allowed numerical studies to move beyond simple extrapolations and reliably construct estimates of quantities as if one were studying an infinite system.

Two-loop conformal invariance for Yang-Baxter deformed strings

name: Wulff, Linus
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The so-called homogeneous Yang-Baxter (YB) deformations can be considered a non-abelian generalization of T-duality--shift--T-duality (TsT) transformations. TsT transformations are known to preserve conformal symmetry to all orders in $α'$. Here we argue that (unimodular) YB deformations of a bosonic string also preserve conformal symmetry, at least to two-loop order. We do this by showing that, starting from a background with no NSNS-flux, the deformed background solves the $α'$-corrected supergravity equations to second order in the deformation parameter. At the same time we determine the required $α'$-corrections of the deformed background, which take a relatively simple form. In examples that can be constructed using, possibly non-commuting sequences of, TsT transformations we show how to obtain the first $α'$-correction to all orders in the deformation parameter by making use of the $α'$-corrected T-duality rules. We demonstrate this on the specific example of YB deformations of a Bianchi type II background.

description: L’apprentissage de l’allemand en L2 rencontre souvent une certaine réticence de la part des élèves, en particulier lorsqu’il s’agit de s’exprimer oralement. Aussi, dans cette recherche, avons-nous d’abord identifié les facteurs qui inhibent la prise de parole en classe. Parmi ceuxci, nous avons choisi de nous intéresser à la motivation. Après un tour d’approche conceptuel, nous avons d’une part retenu le modèle de Dörnyei (1994) qui met l’accent sur l’apprenant dans le cadre du cours de langue. D’autre part, nous nous sommes intéressées aux TIC dans le but d’identifier leur impact sur la motivation des élèves. C’est ainsi que nous avons formulé la problématique suivante : « dans quelle mesure l’utilisation d’une application familière agit-elle sur la motivation des élèves dans la prise de parole en allemand en classe ? » Pour y répondre, nous proposons d’étudier un dispositif didactique que nous avons conçu, intégrant l’usage d’une application de messagerie sur smartphone. Nous observons notamment les effets d’une telle activité instrumentée sur deux facteurs inhibant la motivation à prendre la parole en classe, à savoir la peur de s‘exprimer (peur des erreurs et peur du jugement des autres) et le désintérêt. Adoptant une démarche qualitative, nous avons opté pour des questionnaires adressés aux élèves qui permettaient d’accéder à leurs représentations. Nous avons également élaboré des grilles d’observation des comportements des élèves en classe. Nos analyses montrent que suite à l’activité numérique, tous les élèves ont été amenés à parler en allemand. En outre, les résultats obtenus permettent d’affirmer que pour la grande majorité des élèves, l’intérêt a été éveillé et la peur du jugement des autres diminuée.

description: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of highly versatile porous materials expressing previously unobserved high surface areas and tuneable both internal and external chemical environments. However, the current shortfall of these structures is insufficient data on their chemical stability as well as the lack of a standardised stability testing approach across literature. Thus, the aims of this work are two develop a comparable way of probing the water stability of MOFs as well as to test their applicability for micro-pollutant capture purposes. UiO-66 MOF showed poor stability in basic environment followed by moderate instability in neutral conditions. On the other hand, the inclusion of functional groups on UiO-66 confer a metal cluster shielding effect which can effectively prevent the diffusion of attacking chemical species into the MOF. Even in large pore size MOFs, the pore collapse inducing capillary effects during direct activation from water can be navigated by inclusion of hydrophobic functionalities. The poor stability of powdered ZIF-8 in acidic media and even in neutral conditions is attested. More importantly, the kinetic stability of ZIF-8 is dramatically improved by shaping into a pure phase monolithic MOF using a sol-gel synthesis process. Whereas the stability of monolithic UiO-66 and MOF-808 still needs improvement, it was found that monolithic MOF- 808 is successfully activated from water after stability testing with almost complete retention of original porosity, its powdered analogue suffered complete amorphisation under the same conditions. The current dissertation also presents a in-situ growth procedure of ZIF-8 on open frontal area honeycomb ceramic cordierite substrate. By tailoring the surface chemistry of the substrate, especially with ZnO, it was found that the growth of ZIF-8 was significantly enhanced, to achieve a uniform and complete surface coverage. ZIF-8 and UiO-66 MOFs were investigated for adsorption of endocrine disruptor micro-pollutant, bisphenol B (BPB). Whereas both MOFs promise very rapid uptake within less than 30 minutes of contact, their respective structural intricacies and stability limitations affect their removal capabilities. Most importantly, the monolithic ZIF-8 configuration yielded superior performance in both flow and batch mode conditions.

Coherence effects in the transition radiation spectrum and practical consequences

description: In the framework of the pseudophotons method and under the hypothesis of the far field approximation the formal evaluation of the transition radiation spectrum produced by a three-dimensional charged beam interacting with a metallic target is carried out. When spatial incoherent conditions are occurring, the transverse size of a three-dimensional beam affects the spectrum via a suitable dependence on the Fourier transform of the transverse distribution, while the temporal coherent enhance of the spectrum depends only on the longitudinal beam size via the longitudinal form factor in the same manner as in the case of a one-dimensional beam. Spatial incoherent effects, arising at short wave-length in the spectrum, on the one hand allow a better comprehension of some aspects of the transition radiation phenomelogy - e.g. an analytical formula for the total radiated energy - and on the other hand offer new perspectives in the practical application of the transition radiation as diagnostics method of the transverse beam size in a particle accelerator.

description: The quantum speed limit specifies a universal bound of the fidelity between the initial state and the time-evolved state. We apply this method to find a bound of the fidelity between the adiabatic state and the time-evolved state. The bound is characterized by the counterdiabatic Hamiltonian and can be used to evaluate the worst case performance of the adiabatic quantum computation. The result is improved by imposing additional conditions and we examine several models to find a tight bound. We also derive a different type of quantum speed limits that is meaningful even when we take the thermodynamic limit. By using solvable spin models, we study how the performance and the bound are affected by phase transitions.

description: In nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC, partons produced at high transverse momentum can undergo multiple scattering within the collision region prior to fragmenting into hadrons. We have studied the resulting medium-modified fragmentation function based on a calculation of the BDMPS-Z medium-induced gluon radiation for a dense, expanding medium of small finite extension. Here we explain how the BDMPS transport coefficient which measures the energy density attained in the collision, can be extracted from the observed modification of high-pt hadroproduction. We also comment on the significant remaining uncertainties in extracting the transport coefficient from data.

description: The origin of the ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs, $E>10^{18}$ eV) is still uncertain. However, great progress has been achieved due to the data taken by The Pierre Auger and Telescope Array observatories. The UHECR flux presents two main features, a hardening of the spectrum known as the ankle and a suppression at higher energies. The experimental data suggest that above the ankle the UHECRs flux is dominated by an extragalactic component of astrophysical origin. However, a minority component of exotic origin that dominates the flux beyond the suppression is still compatible with current data. Therefore, there exist the possibility that part of the UHECR flux originates from the decay of super-heavy dark matter particles clustered in the halos of the galaxies. In these scenarios the main contribution comes from the halo of our galaxy. In this article the possibility of identifying these scenarios in the context of the future very large exposure cosmic rays observatories is studied. It is worth mentioning that the contribution of the extragalactic halos located in the nearby universe is also included in these studies.

description: Excerpts from the report: Since World War II the price of butter has tended to fluctuate erratically when it was not being actively supported by Government purchases. It was found in this study that, in general, relatively little of the day-to-day changes in price could be associated with published indicators of short-time changes in supply and demand. Despite the failure to find strong measurable relationships between daily prices and other market statistics, major receivers of butter and others familiar with the market say that the butter market is very sensitive to changing supply and demand situations. Close observation of major price movements indicated that this was true, but that price adjustments were excessive and undependable relative to changes in supply and demand, particularly when supplies were short. This study examined the nature of fluctuations in butter prices at Chicago during 1947, 1948, 1951, and January through March 1952. The fluctuations were evaluated as to their reasonableness in terms of short-time changes in supply and demand, and the extent to which short-time changes in price could be explained by changes in supply and demand factors was determined statistically. The relationship between price and 20 supply-demand factors was studied for 10 marketing seasons encompassing 811 trading days, and detailed qualitative analysis was made of factors affecting price during certain periods in which price was consistently moving in one direction.

description: L’objet de ce mémoire est de proposer aux enseignants de langue une séquence d’enseignement complète en six périodes sur le sujet des discriminations (genre, sexe, race, classe, âge, etc.). Celle-ci s’articule autour d’une analyse, par les élèves eux-mêmes, de sections du moyen d’enseignement utilisé en classe. Le but de cette démarche est de sensibiliser les élèves aux différents types de discriminations et de favoriser le développement de leur esprit critique face à des objets de savoir qui eux aussi peuvent se révéler porteurs de biais socio-culturels. Après une séance d’introduction, les élèves analyseront leur moyen d’enseignement grâce à un questionnaire d’étayage. Le fruit de cette analyse sera ensuite résumé dans un email adressé à l’éditeur du manuel étudié (enseignement par la tâche). La séquence fait travailler aux élèves les quatre compétences fondamentales du Cadre Européen Commun de Référence pour les langues : expression orale et écrite, compréhension orale et écrite. Outre l’analyse proposée par les élèves durant l’expérimentation en classe de la séquence, une analyse complémentaire des sections du manuel est proposée par l’auteur du présent mémoire. Les limites et difficultés rencontrées lors de cette expérimentation sont aussi analysées, et l’efficacité de la séquence en matière de sensibilisation aux discriminations évaluée au vu des réponses des élèves aux questionnaires. On trouvera en annexe la grille complète de planification ainsi que tous les matériaux utilisés.
Remodeling the Minority: An Intersectional Approach to Analyzing South Asian Anglophone Literature

description: Since the early 20th century, South Asian writers have struggled to find their place in the mainstream of English literature. At times their work is criticized for being too culturally foreign, leaving western audiences unable to understand and relate to their storylines. On the other hand. South Asian literature has primarily received recognition from the West for its novelty and exotic qualities. To replace this racialized single-axis framework that has dominated western literary analysis of South Asian anglophone literature, I propose an intersectional framework of analysis through which an understanding of the overlap of people’s identities can promote greater inclusivity of marginalized groups. After a thorough review of what structures and opinions perpetuated the divide between South Asian English and western English, I will analyze three authors, Mulk Raj Anand, Arundathi Roy, and Prageeta Sharma, using intersectionality to understand the ways that their identities, their perception of their identities, and the West’s perspective of their worft have shaped their writing. This intersectional analysis, I project, will demonstrate an alternative to the othering of South Asian anglophone literature from western literature that has persisted. Ultimately, adopting intersectionality will shift analysis away from being Orientalist and instead towards more thorough appreciation of South Asian anglophone literature.

description: We investigate the ionization of hydrogen in a dynamic Solar atmosphere. We show that the time scale for ionization/recombination can be estimated from the eigenvalues of a modified rate matrix where the optically thick Lyman transitions that are in detailed balance have been excluded. We find that the time scale for ionization/recombination is dominated by the slow collisional leakage from the ground state to the first excited state. Throughout the chromosphere the time scale is long ($10^3$-$10^5$ s), except in shocks where the increased temperature and density shorten the time scale for ionization/recombination, especially in the upper chromosphere. Because the relaxation time scale is much longer than dynamic time scales, hydrogen ionization does not have time to reach its equilibrium value and its fluctuations are much smaller than the variation of its statistical equilibrium value appropriate for the instantaneous conditions. The ionization state tends to represent the higher temperature of the shocks, and the mean electron density is up to a factor of six higher than the electron density calculated in statistical equilibrium from the mean atmosphere. The simulations show that a static picture and a dynamic picture of the chromosphere are fundamentally different and that time variations are crucial for our understanding of the chromosphere itself and the spectral features formed there.

A Test of Photometric Redshifts for X-ray Selected Sources

description: We test the effectiveness of photometric redshifts based upon galaxy spectral template fitting for X-ray luminous objects, using a sample of 65 sources detected by Chandra in the field of the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey (CFGRS). We find that sources with quasar-dominated spectra (for which galaxy spectral templates are not appropriate) are easily identified, and that photometric redshifts are robust for the rest of the sources in our sample. Specifically, for the 59 sources that are not quasar-dominated at optical wavelengths, we find that the photometric redshift estimates have scatter comparable to the field galaxy population in this region. There is no evidence for a trend of increasing dispersion with X-ray luminosity over the range L_X = 10^39 - 5x10^43 erg/s, nor is there a trend with the ratio of X-ray to optical flux, f_X/f_R. The practical implication of this work is that photometric redshifts should be robust for the majority (~90%) of the X-ray sources down to f_X ~ 10^-16 erg/s/cm^2 that have optical counterparts brighter than R ~ 24. Furthermore, the same photometry can be easily used to identify the sources for which the photometric redshifts are likely to fail. Photometric redshift estimation can thus be utilized as an efficient tool in analyzing the statistical properties of upcoming large Chandra and XMM-Newton data sets and identifying interesting subsamples for further study.

description: In recent years, deep learning has gained popularity for its ability to solve complex classification tasks. It provides increasingly better results thanks to the development of more accurate models, the availability of huge volumes of data and the improved computational capabilities of modern computers. However, these improvements in performance also bring efficiency problems, related to the storage of datasets and models, and to the waste of energy and time involved in both the training and inference processes. In this context, data reduction can help reduce energy consumption when training a deep learning model. In this paper, we present up to eight different methods to reduce the size of a tabular training dataset, and we develop a Python package to apply them. We also introduce a representativeness metric based on topology to measure the similarity between the reduced datasets and the full training dataset. Additionally, we develop a methodology to apply these data reduction methods to image datasets for object detection tasks. Finally, we experimentally compare how these data reduction methods affect the representativeness of the reduced dataset, the energy consumption and the predictive performance of the model.
Minimal Seesaw extension for Neutrino Mass and Mixing, Leptogenesis and Dark Matter: FIMPzillas through the Right-Handed Neutrino Portal

description: We propose a minimal seesaw extension to simultaneously account for realistic neutrino mass and mixing, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via leptogenesis and a viable dark matter relic density, in which two right-handed neutrinos are coupled to a dark Dirac fermion and complex scalar field, both charged under a global $U(1)_D$ symmetry. As a concrete example, we consider the Littlest Seesaw model which describes neutrino mass and mixing and accounts for leptogenesis, thereby fixing the neutrino Yukawa couplings and right-handed neutrino masses. By considering the freeze-in production mechanism of dark matter, we explore the parameter space of right-handed neutrino portal couplings and dark particle masses which give the correct dark matter relic abundance, focussing on the case of a superheavy Dirac fermion dark matter particle, with a mass around $10^{10}$ GeV. Such a FIMPzilla can provide a successful explanation of the dark matter relic abundance, with its production reliant on neutrino Yukawa couplings over much of the parameter space, depending on the assumed dark particle masses, and the reheat temperature.

Healing Covid-19 in the Brazilian Northwest Amazon: A discourse-centered exploration of Indigenous peoples’ perspectives

description: Of the many questions which the Covid-19 pandemic has provoked, one of the biggest is “When will life be normal again?” On top of assuming that the pre-pandemic status quo has no challengers, it begs the question of who might want to forge a new normal on their own terms. Building off of that question, this paper embarks on a case study of how Indigenous peoples in the Upper Rio Negro of the Northwest Amazon have drawn upon shamanism and also reaffirmed its validity alongside “Western medicine” during the pandemic. To this end, I use a discourse-centered approach to analyze how incantations, a genre of shamanic discourse unique to the Upper Rio Negro, have not only been used to treat Covid-19 but also made numerous appearances in digital media/journalistic coverage of the pandemic. Ultimately, I argue that the both subtle and overt references to incantations made by many Indigenous scholars and shamans in the Upper Rio Negro reflect how shamanism in the region involves myriad socio-political obligations, which may be invoked to forward self-determination.

description: Effect of charge-transfer recombination for positronium (Ps) scattering is studied on Ps-H system using coupled-channel formalism considering a new rearrangement channel Ps+H --> e^+ + H^- and exchange. The correlation and continuum effects introduced by this charge-transfer channel result to substantial convergence to the low energy scattering parameters. Effects on scattering length, PsH binding energy, and low-energy (0-10 eV) phase-shifts and cross sections are evaluated and H$^-$ formation cross sections are reported from above the threshold (6.438 eV) to 100 eV.
