description: Context: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is resistant to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and is associated with cognitive impairment. The modern Chinese medicine, compound Danshen dripping pills (CDDP), is clinically effective in treating epilepsy and improving cognitive impairment. Objective: This study evaluated the protective effects of CDDP alone and in combination with carbamazepine (CBZ) on kainic acid-induced TLE and cognitive impairment in rats. Materials and methods: Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups: control (sham operated), model, CDDP, CBZ and combined. A TLE model was then created via bilateral intrahippocampal injection of 0.35 μg kainic acid (KA). Rats received CDDP (85 mg/kg), CBZ (100 mg/kg) or combined (85 mg/kg CDDP +100 mg/kg CBZ) via intragastric administration for 90 d, respectively. Seizure intensity, apoptosis and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) were measured. Furthermore, the improvement in cognitive impairment and hippocampal neuronal damage was evaluated. Results: CDDP combined with CBZ significantly decreased seizure severity and frequency (p < 0.05) and ameliorated cognitive impairment (p < 0.05). The model group showed a significant reduction of neurons and Bcl-2/Bax expression in the hippocampus CA3 area (p < 0.01), the combined groups significantly reversed these change (p < 0.01). GDNF expression in the combined groups showed a clear increase over the model group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings support the use of CDDP as an adjuvant drug for the treatment of TLE and cognitive deficit. Its mechanism might be related to an anti-apoptosis effect and up-regulation of GDNF.

description: Observations of nearby galaxies reveal a strong correlation between the mass of the central dark object M and the velocity dispersion sigma of the host galaxy, of the form log(M/M_sun) = a + b*log(sigma/sigma_0); however, published estimates of the slope b span a wide range (3.75 to 5.3). Merritt & Ferrarese have argued that low slopes (<4) arise because of neglect of random measurement errors in the dispersions and an incorrect choice for the dispersion of the Milky Way Galaxy. We show that these explanations account for at most a small part of the slope range. Instead, the range of slopes arises mostly because of systematic differences in the velocity dispersions used by different groups for the same galaxies. The origin of these differences remains unclear, but we suggest that one significant component of the difference results from Ferrarese & Merritt's extrapolation of central velocity dispersions to r_e/8 (r_e is the effective radius) using an empirical formula. Another component may arise from dispersion-dependent systematic errors in the measurements. A new determination of the slope using 31 galaxies yields b=4.02 +/- 0.32, a=8.13 +/- 0.06, for sigma_0=200 km/s. The M-sigma relation has an intrinsic dispersion in log M that is no larger than 0.3 dex. In an Appendix, we present a simple model for the velocity-dispersion profile of the Galactic bulge.

Angular Distribution of Gamma-ray Bursts and Weak Lensing

Year: 2002

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate whether Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) from the Current BATSE Catalog have been affected by weak lensing by the nearby large scale structure. The redshift distribution of GRBs is believed to be broad, extending to z~5, so most events can be assumed to be at large redshifts, and hence subject to weak lensing, which would betray itself as projected (anti-)correlations between GRB events and galaxies or clusters that trace the intervening mass. Given the observed distribution of GRBs in fluence, and statistical positional error, e, we predict that most subsets drawn from BATSE Catalog will be anti-correlated with the foreground structure due to weak lensing, i.e. will show negative magnification bias. We find that GRBs are indeed anti-correlated with the APM galaxies (z~0.2-0.3) in the sense that galaxy density in circles of radii 1-1.5 deg (15-20 Mpc at z~0.3) centered on e<1 GRBs is about 10% lower than expected from a random distribution; the significance of GRB-APM anti-correlations reaches 99.7%. Cross-correlation between GRBs and distant rich Abell-Corwin-Olowin clusters is also negative. Standard cosmological models with Omega_matter ~ 0.3, Omega_Lambda ~ 0.7, and matter distribution on large scales following observed APM galaxy distribution with the biasing parameter of around 1 are not able to reproduce our GRB-APM anti-correlations. We propose a speculative model that does account for these anti-correlations as well as positive correlations found previously, between QSOs and APM galaxies. We briefly discuss if the proposed scheme is in conflict with observations of cosmic microwave background, galaxy surveys, cosmic velocity flows, and weak shear lensing.

description:
BACKGROUND: Both the incidence of diabetes mellitus and consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages are high in the Hispanic/Latino population in the United States. The associations between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, and 100% fruit juice with prediabetes and glucose metabolism markers in the diverse Hispanic/Latino population in the United States are unknown. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to examine the cross-sectional associations between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, and 100% fruit juice with prediabetes and glucose metabolism markers such as fasting glucose and insulin, 2-h oral-glucose-tolerance test, HOMA-IR, HOMA index for β-cell function (HOMA-B), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among US Hispanic/Latino adults. METHODS: Using baseline data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (2008-2011), beverage consumption was ascertained using two 24-h dietary recalls and a food propensity questionnaire. Diabetes/prediabetes status was defined by self-report, antihyperglycemic medication use, and American Diabetes Association laboratory criteria. Among 9965 individuals without diabetes (5194 normoglycemia, 4771 prediabetes) aged 18-74 y, the associations of beverage consumption with prediabetes and glucose metabolism markers were analyzed using logistic and linear regressions, respectively, accounting for complex survey design. RESULTS: Compared with individuals who consumed <1 serving/d (<240 mL/d) of sugar-sweetened beverages, individuals who consumed >2 servings/d (>480 mL/d) had 1.3 times greater odds of having prediabetes (95% CI: 1.06, 1.61) and higher glucose metabolism markers including fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and HbA1c. Consumption of artificially sweetened beverages showed an inverse association with β-cell function (HOMA-B). Intake of 100% fruit juice was not significantly associated with prediabetes nor with glucose metabolism markers. CONCLUSIONS: Among US Hispanic/Latino adults, higher sugar-sweetened beverage consumption was associated with increased odds of prediabetes and higher glucose metabolism markers. Public health initiatives to decrease sugar-sweetened beverage consumption could potentially reduce the burden of diabetes among Hispanics/Latinos in the United States.

Subjects: subject: offshore aquaculture

description: Marine aquaculture is playing an increasingly important role in the global food supply chain. Data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO, 2020b) indicates that harvested fish account for at least 20% of the animal protein intake of 3.3 billion people, and global marine aquatic products are expected to grow by 155% from 2020 to 2050 according to the Marine Aquatic Forecast Report of DNV (2021). As the scale of mariculture grows in nearshore areas, severe environmental pollution and resource utilisation conflicts with competing users such as shipping, tourism, fishing and conservation are inevitable. Therefore, some companies or organisations, for example, Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre in Australia, are considering moving the fish farms to offshore areas. Because of the lack of theoretical research and empirical practise, such as the determination of environmental loads and the mechanism of hydroelastic interactions between waves and flexible net structures, offshore fish farming still faces tremendous risks and challenges. This also means that cutting-edge science and technology in this field are gaining research traction from both academia and industry. At offshore sites, aquatic facilities exposed to high-energy environments will be subjected to more significant wave loads. Therefore, it is one of the core design considerations for engineers to effectively and accurately predict the hydroelastic behaviour of fish cages under the action of ocean waves. Based on this background, the present Ph.D. thesis will investigate the hydroelastic interaction between ocean waves and open-net fish cages. The specific objectives include: 1. Undertaking a systematic literature review to identify research trends and gaps in this field; 2. Establishing an innovative semi-analytical solution for the research question; 3. Simulating and analysing the hydroelastic behaviour of the net cage under wave action; 4. Conducting parametric studies on the mechanical characteristics of the cages. These tasks provide references and experience for engineers when designing offshore aquaculture systems. […]

description: We present a non-perturbative lattice study of SU(4) gauge theory with two flavors of fermions in the fundamental representation and two in the two-index antisymmetric representation: a theory closely related to a minimal partial-compositeness model for physics beyond the Standard Model, that was proposed by G. Ferretti. We discuss the phase structure of the lattice theory and report results for various observables of interest, including the masses of states obtained from different combinations of valence fermions and the spectrum of the Dirac operator. Finally, we comment on the extension of this type of studies to other partial-compositeness models (including, in particular, one that was recently suggested by H. Gertov et al.), which could admit lighter top-quark partners, highlighting some key features of our lattice simulation algorithm, that make it suitable for such generalizations.

description: We have studied the effects of gas density inhomogeneities on the escape of ionising Lyman continuum (Lyc) photons from Milky Way-type galaxies via 3D numerical simulations using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code CRASH (Ciardi et al. 2001). To this aim a comparison between a smooth Gaussian distribution (GDD) and an inhomogeneous, fractal one (FDD) has been made with realistic assumptions for the ionising stellar sources based on available data in the solar neighborhood. In both cases the escape fraction f_esc increases with ionisation rate N_gamma (although for the FDD with a flatter slope) and they become equal at N_gamma = 2*10^50 s^-1 where f_esc = 0.11. FDD allows escape fractions of the same order also at lower N_gamma, when Lyc photon escape is sharply suppressed by GDD. Values of the escape fraction as high as 0.6 can be reached (GDD) for N_gamma ~ 9*10^50 s^-1, corresponding to a star formation rate (SFR) of roughly 2 M_o yr^-1; at this ionising luminosity the FDD is less transparent (f_esc ~ 0.28). If high redshift galaxies have gas column densities similar to local ones, are characterized by such high SFRs and by a predominantly smooth (i.e.turbulence free) interstellar medium, our results suggest that they should considerably contribute to - and possibly dominate - the cosmic UV background.

Beyond the Bulge: a Fundamental Relation Between Supermassive Black Holes and Dark Matter Halos
Creators: name: Ferrarese, Laura
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The possibility that the masses of supermassive black holes (SBHs) correlate with the total gravitational mass of their host galaxy, or the mass of the dark matter halo in which they presumably formed, is investigated using a sample of 16 spiral and 20 elliptical galaxies. The bulge velocity dispersion, typically defined within an aperture of size less than 0.5 kpc, is found to correlate tightly with the galaxy's circular velocity, the latter measured at distances from the galactic center at which the rotation curve is flat, 20 to 80kpc. By using the well known M-sigma relation for SBHs, and a prescription to relate the circular velocity to the mass of the dark matter halo in a standard CDM cosmology, the correlation between velocity dispersion and circular velocity is equivalent to one between SBH and halo masses. Such a correlation is found to be nonlinear, with the ratio between the two masses decreasing from 2X10^-4 for halos of 10^14 solar masses, to 10^-5 for halos of 10^12 solar masses. Preliminary evidence suggests that halos smaller than ~5X10^11 solar masses are increasingly less efficient -- perhaps unable -- at forming SBHs.

Wide-Spectrum Slow Magnetoacoustic Waves in Coronal Loops

description: A model interpreting variations of EUV brightness upward propagating in solar coronal loops as slow magnetoacoustic waves is developed. A loop is considered to have a non-zero plane inclination angle and offset of circular loop centre from the baseline. The model also incorporates effects of dissipation and gravitational stratification. A linear evolutionary equation is derived and applied to investigation of slow wave dynamics. Both the non-zero plane inclination and the offset decrease the growth of the wave amplitude due to stratification. It is shown that wide spectrum slow magnetoacoustic waves, consistent with currently available observations in the low frequency part of the spectrum, can provide the rate of heat deposition sufficient to heat the loop. In this scenario, the heat would be deposited near the loop footpoints which agrees with the current observational data.

description: We investigate how strongly and at what scales the Sunyaev- Zel'dovich effect reflects the shifting balance between the two processes that compete for governing the density and the thermodynamic state of the hot intra-cluster medium pervading clusters and groups of galaxies: the hierarchical clustering of the DM; the non-gravitational energy and momentum fed back into the ICM by the condensing baryons. We base on a SAM of galaxy formation and clustering to describe how the baryons are partitioned among the hot, the cool and the stellar phase; the partition shifts as the galaxies cluster hierarchically, and as the feedback by stellar winds and SN explosions follows the star formation. Their impact is amplified by the same large scale accretion shocks that thermalize the gravitational energy of gas falling into the growing potential wells. We compute the Compton parameter $y$, and find a relation of $y$ with the ICM temperature, the $y-T$ relation, which departs from the self-similar scaling and bends down at temperatures typical of galaxy groups. We model-independently relate this with the analogous behaviour of the L_x - T relation, and discuss to what extent our results are generic of the hierarchical models of galaxy formation and clustering.

description: Micron-scale single-crystal nanowires of metallic TaSe3, a material that forms -Ta-Se3-Ta-Se3- stacks separated from one another by a tubular van der Waals (vdW) gap, have been synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a SiO2/Si substrate, in a process compatible with semiconductor industry requirements. Their electrical resistivity was found unaffected by downscaling from the bulk to as little as 7 nm in width and height, in striking contrast to the resistivity of copper for the same dimensions. While the bulk resistivity of TaSe3 is substantially higher than that of bulk copper, at the nanometer scale the TaSe3 wires become competitive to similar-sized copper ones. Moreover, we find that the vdW TaSe3 nanowires sustain current densities in excess of 108 A/cm2 and feature an electromigration energy barrier twice that of copper. The results highlight the promise of quasi-one-dimensional transition metal trichalcogenides for electronic interconnect applications and the potential of van der Waals materials for downscaled electronics.

description: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with persistent prevalence in Western populations, and a growing incidence in the developing world. Myocardial ischaemic injury is alleviated through surgical intervention, detrimentally exposing the heart to reperfusion injury. This inevitable and paradoxical injury has driven a field of cardioprotective research aimed at limiting cell death, enhancing standard reperfusion protocols and improving long-term patient outcomes from ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Despite promising laboratory results, clinical translation of cardioprotective interventions remains an unrealised goal. Notably, age, co-morbidities and chronic pharmacotherapy negatively influence the efficacy of cardioprotective interventions aimed at limiting I/R injury. Thus, effective interventions that reduce myocardial I/R injury in the settings of ageing and disease are fundamental. Based upon this fundamental premise, this doctoral project investigates a novel opioid therapy termed sustained ligand-activated preconditioning (SLP). Previous work demonstrated that SLP is superior to conventional cardioprotection through engagement of alternative signalling pathways, and exhibits potent and prolonged efficacy in young to aged hearts. Studies executed in this doctorate aimed to further delineate the specific mechanisms involved in generation of the protected SLP phenotype, and determine the clinical utility of SLP using other relevant models of disease and chronic pharmacotherapy.

description: We consider the consequences of appreciable line optical depth for the profile shape of X-ray emission lines formed in stellar winds. The hot gas is thought to arise in distributed wind shocks, and the line formation is predominantly via collisional excitation followed by radiative decay. Such lines are often modelled as optically thin, but the theory has difficulty matching resolved X-ray line profiles. We suggest that for strong lines of abundant metals, newly created photons may undergo resonance scattering, modifying the emergent profile. Using Sobolev theory in a spherically symmetric wind, we show that thick-line resonance scattering leads to emission profiles that still have blueshifted centroids like the thin lines, but which are considerably less asymmetric in appearance. We focus on winds in the constant-expansion domain, and derive an analytic form for the profile shape in the limit of large line and photoabsorptive optical depths. Our theory is applied to published {\it Chandra} observations of the O star $ζ$ Pup.

description: Kinetically constrained models (KCMs) are interacting particle systems on $Z^d$ with a continuous-time constrained Glauber dynamics, which were introduced by physicists to model the liquid-glass transition. One of the most well-known KCMs is the one-dimensional East model. Its generalization to higher dimension, the d-dimensional East model, is much less understood. Prior to this paper, convergence to equilibrium in the d-dimensional East model was proven to be at least stretched exponential, by Chleboun, Faggionato and Martinelli in 2015. We show that the d-dimensional East model exhibits exponential convergence to equilibrium in all settings for which convergence is possible.

 WATERHOUSE & JANSON stellen 1855 fest, dass sich in STEPHENS’ Sammlung auf dem Platz von S. sulcicollis ein Exemplar des S. melanopus befindet. Wieso sie dieses Stück als "evidently misplaced" bezeichnen, bleibt unklar. FAUVEL hat das 1869 wohl ebenso gesehen, sonst hätte er seine Synonymie nicht ausgesprochen. RYE kannte FAUVELs Arbeit offenbar noch nicht, sonst hätte er sich ihm sicher angeschlossen. Bei S. sulcicollis, so dürfen wir mit Sicherheit annehmen, handelt es sich um ein nicht völlig ausgefärbtes Stück (" pedibus rufo-piceis ") des S. melanopus, worauf auch schon der Name " sulcicollis " bezeichnend hinweist. Ich wiederhole also und bekräftige hiermit die schon 1869 ausgesprochene Synonymie.

description: We present general analytic expressions for GRB afterglow light curves arising from a variable external density profile and/or a variable energy in the blast wave. The former could arise from a clumpy ISM or a variable stellar wind; The latter could arise from refreshed shocks or from an angular dependent jet structure (patchy shell). Both scenarios would lead to a variable light curve. Our formalism enables us to invert the observed light curve and obtain possible density or energy profiles. The optical afterglow of GRB 021004 was detected 537 seconds AB (after the burst) (Fox et al. 2002). Extensive follow up observations revealed a significant temporal variability. We apply our formalism to the R-band light curve of GRB 021004 and we find that several models provide a good fit to the data. We consider the patchy shell model with $p=2.2$ as the most likely explanation. According to this model our line of sight was towards a "cold spot" that has lead to a relativity low $γ$-ray flux and an initially weak afterglow (while the X-ray afterglow flux after a day was above average). Observations above the cooling frequency, $ν_c$, could provide the best way to distinguish between our different models.

description: All children need quality puberty education. The earlier onset of puberty, the burdens and costs of ignorance, ill-health, and inequality, exponential increases in technological connectivity, and global health and educational evidence, confirm that this need is great, growing, and urgent. This thesis is about the timely provision of school-based puberty education for girls and boys in Australia. Schools are the logical and most cost-effective sites to educate all children about puberty, relationships and values, sexuality development, reproductive health, and personal safeguarding, optimally integrated through all school year levels and across the silos of curricula disciplines. The literature shows that normalisation and integration of such puberty education content would greatly benefit students’ learning progress, their relationships and social values at all levels, their sexuality and reproductive health needs, their development of individual ethical rationality (phronesis, after Aristotle), and their future lifechances. Evidence-based guidelines and professional standards for quality school curricula supporting early, continuous, inclusive, and equitable puberty education have been developed for global use. However, in Australia, very little, if any, timely or effective education about students’ puberty or sexual health is currently delivered in schools. The existing state/territories’ Health and Physical Education (HPE) curricula, nominal site of such programs, has poorly served girls and boys, so that children glean what they can from their peers, the playground’s hidden curriculum, and media sources.

description: Selenium is an essential micronutrient required for human health that is incorporated as selenocysteine into the active site of a group of specialised proteins known as selenoproteins. Selenoproteins play a role in a variety of biological responses such as antioxidant defence, reactive oxygen species (ROS) signalling, thyroid hormone regulation, DNA synthesis and the unfolded protein response in the endoplasmic reticulum (UPRER). Pregnancy is a condition of enhanced demand for nutrients and heightened oxidative stress and deficiencies of micronutrients such as selenium exposes the placenta to an accumulation of free radicals that can cause diseases of pregnancy such as pre-eclampsia (PE), pre-term birth (PT), gestational diabetes (GDM), inter-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) and small for gestational age (SGA) babies. Decreased antioxidant capacity and serum selenium levels in pregnancy has been previously linked to these diseases of pregnancy in a wide variety of literature (Chapter 1). However, there are over 25 selenoproteins identified in the human genome but the role of many of these are yet to be fully characterised in the placenta and in disease. Therefore, the aims of this research were to 1) determine the concentration of selenium that is not toxic to transformed and primary cell lines, 2) determine the effect of selenium supplementation on the expression of SELH, SELK, SELM, SELN, SELP, SELS and SELT in transformed cell lines and primary cytotrophoblast cell lines, 3) Under conditions of cell stress induced by thapsigargin (Tg), tunicamycin (Tm), antimycin and rotenone, determine the effect of selenium supplementation in transformed and primary cell lines, 4) Determine the expression of selenoproteins, GPX4, DIO2, DIO3, MSRB1, SELF, SELN and SELP in publicly available RNA-sequenced placental databases complicated with FGR, 5) Determine the expression of SELH, SELK, SELM, SELN, SELP, SELS and SELT in the placenta in IUGR and PE primary cytotrophoblast tissue bank samples and 6) Understand the role of the UPRER genes ATF4, BIP, CHOP, GADD34, GRP94 and EDEM in diseased tissue samples such as IUGR and PE.

Some t-tests for N-of-1 trials with serial correlation

description: N-of-1 trials allow inference between two treatments given to a single individual. Most often, clinical investigators analyze an individual's N-of-1 trial data with usual t-tests or simple nonparametric methods. These simple methods do not account for serial correlation in repeated observations coming from the individual. Existing methods accounting for serial correlation require simulation, multiple N-of-1 trials, or both. Here, we develop t-tests that account for serial correlation in a single individual. The development includes effect size and precision calculations, both of which are useful for study planning. We then evaluate and compare their Type I and II errors and interval estimators to those of usual t-tests analogues via Monte Carlo simulation. The serial t-tests clearly outperform the usual t-tests commonly used in reporting N-of-1 results. Examples from N-of-1 clinical trials in fibromyalgia patients and from a behavioral health setting exhibit how accounting for serial correlation can change inferences. These t-tests are easily implemented and more appropriate than simple methods commonly used; however, caution is needed when analyzing only a few observations.

A Weakly Nonlinear Alfvenic Pulse in a Transversely Inhomogeneous Medium

description: The interaction of a weakly nonlinear Alfvénic pulse with an Alfvén speed inhomogeneity in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field is investigated. Identically to the phase mixing experienced by a harmonic Alfvén wave, sharp transverse gradients are generated in the pulse by the inhomogeneity. In the initial stage of the evolution of an initially plane Alfvénic pulse, the transverse gradients efficiently generate transversely propagating fast magnetoacoustic waves. However, high resolution full MHD numerical simulations of the developed stage of the pulse evolution show that the generation saturates due to destructive wave interference. It is shown that the weakly non-linear description of the generated fast magnetoacoustic wave is well described by the driven wave equation proposed in Nakariakov, Roberts & Murawski (1997), and a simple numerical code (2D MacCromack), which solves it with minimal CPU resources produces identical results to those obtained from the full MHD code ({\it Lare2d}, Arber et al. 2001). A parametric study of the phenomenon is undertaken, showing that, contrary to one's expectations, steeper inhomogenities of the Alfvén speed do not produce higher saturation levels of the fast wave generation. There is a certain optimal gradient of the inhomogeneity that ensures the maximal efficiency of the fast wave generation.

description: Three new bufadienolides with a Δ14,15 double bond, named bufogarlides A-C (1-3), together with three known analogs (4-6), were isolated from the skins of Bufo bufo gargarizans. Their structures were identified by analyses of spectroscopic data (1 D and 2 D NMR, HR-ESIMS), and comparison with the literature data. All the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against ovarian carcinoma cell lines A2780 and SKOV3. Among them, compound 5 showed the highest potential for the growth inhibition of cancerous cells A2780 and SKOV3 with the IC50 values of 21.09 and 67.08 nM, respectively.

description: Attunements towards becoming-minor: fabulations from a tiny house movement is a contemplation on the notion of ‘becoming’ as explored in the work of Deleuze and Guattari, and specifically on becoming-minor – a concept taken up productively by scholars in widely varying fields. My work emerges from in-between a study of the Australian tiny house movement and tiny house practices; the fuzziness of research and method in post-qualitative research; and my personal and scholarly learning experiences in the arts and humanities. The tiny house study was undertaken as a post-qualitative assemblage composed, decomposed and recomposed by the desires and becomings of actual people caught up in the messiness of life. Their voices are not data. They emerge as co-narrators alongside the thoughts of other scholars, contributing to the overall story of the thesis. The inquiry is carried through writing – framed as thinking/writing – and the concept of fabulation, understood by Deleuze and Guattari as a creative force capturing percepts and affects via a general becoming. In its aspect as storying and storytelling, fabulation is open to the future and articulates ‘a people to come’. My co-constitutive practice of thinking/writing also acknowledges the ethical and aesthetic tensions and struggles that can be experienced in becoming-academic. This project becomes a dissertation in line with what it contemplates and as such, it does not arrive at any particular knowledge claim. Instead, it inaugurates a minor inquiry upon itself in response to a problem that emerged from its own middle, in order to find out what it is and what it can do. It bears witness to its own deconstruction, as a formal thesis and as a tiny house research project, through movements of thinking/writing with becomingminor as a concept for inquiry. I take ‘concept’ as ‘a practice that thinks’ (Manning 2016, p.27) which has had ethical, methodological, structural and stylistic implications for what a dissertation might be.
