Conspiracies and Secret Societies in Interwar French Literature
Creators: Earle, Jason

Subjects: Romance literature
Literature

description: This dissertation analyzes the central place that representations of secret societies and conspiracies occupied in literature in France in between the two World Wars, reappearing in various guises in works by authors across aesthetic and ideological traditions. My examination situates these literary representations within their political and social context, demonstrating that the instability of the French Third Republic created an atmosphere that contributed to a proliferation of conspiracy theories targeting every faction imaginable, from right-wing and leftist groups to Freemasons, Jesuits, and Jews. Serving as both the subject of fictional works and the object of critical study, the figure of the secret society allowed authors to position themselves and their texts within this context of uncertainty and suspicion. The representation of conspiracies and secret societies permitted authors as varied as Jules Romains, André Malraux, Céline, and Paul Nizan to participate in and shape a widespread reevaluation of the political order by critiquing a dysfunctional system of parliamentary democracy and highlighting the cultural tensions of the day. My thesis does not just read these texts as reflections of larger political and cultural debates; it argues that secret societies and conspiracies served a specific literary function, particularly concerning the evolution of the avant-garde and the ideological novel in the interwar years. The invocation of these groups provided a charged metaphor for defining literary techniques and concerns of audience, genre, and language; and their representation helped shape the form and practice of interwar literature. I show, ultimately, how conspiracies and secret societies in literature participated in a larger discourse of fear and suspicion that heralded the decline of the avant-garde, the rise of the committed novel, and a growing literary interest in politics, ethnology, and sociology.

description: Consider $N$ balls initially placed in $L$ bins. At each time step take a ball from each non-empty bin and \emph{randomly} reassign the balls into the bins.We call this finite Markov chain \emph{General Repeated Balls into Bins} process. It is a discrete time interacting particles system with parallel updates. Assuming a \emph{quantitative} chaotic condition on the reassignment rule we prove a \emph{quantitative} propagation of chaos for this model. We furthermore study some equilibrium properties of the limiting nonlinear process.

Reduced-order Koopman modeling and predictive control of nonlinear processes

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)

description: In this paper, we propose an efficient data-driven predictive control approach for general nonlinear processes based on a reduced-order Koopman operator. A Kalman-based sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics method is employed to select lifting functions for Koopman identification. The selected lifting functions are used to project the original nonlinear state-space into a higher-dimensional linear function space, in which Koopman-based linear models can be constructed for the underlying nonlinear process. To curb the significant increase in the dimensionality of the resulting full-order Koopman models caused by the use of lifting functions, we propose a reduced-order Koopman modeling approach based on proper orthogonal decomposition. A computationally efficient linear robust predictive control scheme is established based on the reduced-order Koopman model. A case study on a benchmark chemical process is conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Comprehensive comparisons are conducted to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method.

description: A search for magnetic monopoles and high-electric-charge objects is presented using 34.4 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV $pp$ collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2015 and 2016. The considered signature is based upon high ionization in the transition radiation tracker of the inner detector associated with a pencil-shape energy deposit in the electromagnetic calorimeter. The data were collected by a dedicated trigger based on the tracker high-threshold hit capability. The results are interpreted in models of Drell-Yan pair production of stable particles with two spin hypotheses (0 and 1/2) and masses ranging from 200 GeV to 4000 GeV. The search improves by approximately a factor of five the constraints on the direct production of magnetic monopoles carrying one or two Dirac magnetic charges and stable objects with electric charge in the range $20\le|z|\le60$ and extends the charge range to $60

description: The tunability of the helium-helium interaction through an external electric field is investigated. For a static external field, electric-field induced resonances and associated electric-field induced bound states are calculated for the $^4$He-$^4$He, $^3$He-$^4$He, and $^3$He-$^3$He systems. Qualitative agreement is found with the literature for the $^3$He-$^4$He and $^3$He-$^3$He systems [E. Nielsen, D. V. Fedorov, and A. S. Jensen, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf{82}}, 2844 (1999)]. The implications of the predicted electric-field induced resonances for $^4$He-$^4$He on the wave packet dynamics, initiated by intense laser pulses, are investigated. Our results are expected to guide next generation experiments.

description: Constitutionalizing access to health care has been a positive force for Brazil and South Africa to improve people’s wellbeing. Since the establishment of the constitutional right framework, health has become a universal right and a responsibility of the state in Brazil and South Africa. In both countries, the right to health has been mobilized by a wide variety of actors from civil society that rose specifically in a constitutionalized space to take advantage of the context to judges and politicians. Furthermore, the right to health care creates an environment that brings together the network of people living with disease with civil societies to frame demands for treatment as a constitutional right in both public campaigns and in court filings. Constitutionalization also helps Brazil and South Africa alleviate health care disparities by playing a part on the initiation of a set of the national rural health mission.

description: Sustainable Supply Chain (SSC) management aims at integrating economic, environmental and social goals to assist in the long-term planning of a company and its supply chains. There is no consensus in the literature as to whether social and environmental responsibilities are profit-compatible. However, the conflicting nature of these goals is explicit when considering specific assessment measures and, in this scenario, multi-objective optimization is a way to represent problems that simultaneously optimize the goals. This paper proposes a Lagrangian matheuristic method, called $AugMathLagr$, to solve a hard and relevant multi-objective problem found in the literature. $AugMathLagr$ was extensively tested using artificial instances defined by a generator presented in this paper. The results show a competitive performance of $AugMathLagr$ when compared with an exact multi-objective method limited by time and a matheuristic recently proposed in the literature and adapted here to address the studied problem. In addition, computational results on a case study are presented and analyzed, and demonstrate the outstanding performance of $AugMathLagr$.

description: Phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution enable population persistence in response to global change. However, there are few experiments that test how these processes interact within and across generations, especially in marine species with broad distributions experiencing spatially and temporally variable temperature and pCO2. We employed a quantitative genetics experiment with the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, to decompose family-level variation in transgenerational and developmental plastic responses to ecologically relevant temperature and pCO2. Adults were conditioned to controlled non-upwelling (high temperature, low pCO2) or upwelling (low temperature, high pCO2) conditions. Embryos were reared in either the same conditions as their parents or the crossed environment, and morphological aspects of larval body size were quantified. We find evidence of family-level phenotypic plasticity in response to different developmental environments. Among developmental environments, there was substantial additive genetic variance for one body size metric when larvae developed under upwelling conditions, although this differed based on parental environment. Furthermore, cross-environment correlations indicate significant variance for genotype-by-environment interactive effects. Therefore, genetic variation for plasticity is evident in early stages of S. purpuratus, emphasizing the importance of adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity in organismal responses to global change.

description: The study of the evolution of coronal holes (CHs) is especially important in the context of high-speed solar wind streams (HSS) emanating from them. Stream interaction regions may deliver large amount of energy into the Earths system, cause geomagnetic storms, and shape interplanetary space. By statistically analysing 16 long-living CHs observed by the SDO, we focus on coronal, morphological and underlying photospheric magnetic field characteristics as well as investigate the evolution of the associated HSSs. We use CATCH to extract and analyse CHs using observations taken by AIA and HMI. We derive changes in the CH properties and correlate them to the CH evolution. Further we analyse the properties of the HSS signatures near 1au from OMNI data by manually extracting the peak bulk velocity of the solar wind plasma. We find that the area evolution of CHs mostly shows a rough trend of growing to a maximum followed by a decay. No correlation of the area evolution to the evolution of the signed magnetic flux and signed magnetic flux density enclosed in the projected CH area was found. From this we conclude that the magnetic flux within the extracted CH boundaries is not the main cause for its area evolution. We derive CH area change rates (growth and decay) of 14.2 +/- 15.0 * 10^8 km^2/day showing a reasonable anti-correlation (cc =-0.48) to the solar activity, approximated by the sunspot number. The change rates of the signed mean magnetic flux density (27.3 +/- 32.2 mG/day) and the signed magnetic flux (30.3 +/- 31.5 * 10^18 Mx/day) were also found to be dependent on solar activity (cc =0.50 and cc =0.69 respectively) rather than on the individual CH evolutions. Further we find that the CH area-to-HSS peak velocity relation is valid for each CH over its evolution but revealing significant variations in the slopes of the regression lines.

description: In this study, we propose a novel human-like memory architecture designed for enhancing the cognitive abilities of large language model based dialogue agents. Our proposed architecture enables agents to autonomously recall memories necessary for response generation, effectively addressing a limitation in the temporal cognition of LLMs. We adopt the human memory cue recall as a trigger for accurate and efficient memory recall. Moreover, we developed a mathematical model that dynamically quantifies memory consolidation, considering factors such as contextual relevance, elapsed time, and recall frequency. The agent stores memories retrieved from the user's interaction history in a database that encapsulates each memory's content and temporal context. Thus, this strategic storage allows agents to recall specific memories and understand their significance to the user in a temporal context, similar to how humans recognize and recall past experiences.

description: We introduce the idea of actually cooling quantum systems by means of incoherent thermal light, hence giving rise to a counterintuitive mechanism of “cooling by heating.” In this effect, the mere incoherent occupation of a quantum mechanical mode serves as a trigger to enhance the coupling between other modes. This notion of effectively rendering states more coherent by driving with incoherent thermal quantum noise is applied here to the optomechanical setting, where this effect occurs most naturally. We discuss two ways of describing this situation, one of them making use of stochastic sampling of Gaussian quantum states with respect to stationary classical stochastic processes. The potential of experimentally demonstrating this counterintuitive effect in optomechanical systems with present technology is sketched.

description: We study the superfluid behavior of a population imbalanced ultracold atomic Fermi gases with a short range attractive interaction in a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice, using a pairing fluctuation theory. We show that, besides widespread pseudogap phenomena and intermediate temperature superfluidity, the superfluid phase is readily destroyed except in a limited region of the parameter space. We find a new mechanism for pair hopping, assisted by the excessive majority fermions, in the presence of continuum-lattice mixing, which leads to an unusual constant BEC asymptote for $T_c$ that is independent of pairing strength. In result, on the BEC side of unitarity, superfluidity, when it exists, may be strongly enhanced by population imbalance.

description: This paper offers a review of technological developments regarding massive storage devices and the emergence of new streaming services for audio and video on-demand. While the capacity of storage devices has been increasing exponentially, the price of a stored bit has been falling at an even faster rate. Audio and video files can be stored on-line in personal computers and computer networks. Accessing this information requires new type of databases capable of handling special types of queries: access through annotations and metadata, access by similarity, and access by feature search. Databases with in-built streaming capabilities would be extremely useful for transmitting the information to the end user, while providing at the same time consistency checks, indexing, reporting, and querying features. They should also be fast and scalable. This paper reviews recent academic and industrial projects, and describes an implementation of a streaming video servlet based on the Oracle SQL database, its Binary Large Object storage data type, and the Java Database Connectivity interface.

description: Ozone dry deposition, an important tropospheric ozone sink, is expected to evolve with climate and land use, but coarse representation of ozone dry deposition in most large-scale atmospheric chemistry models hinders understanding of the influence of this sink on ozone air quality. Ozone uptake by stomata, injurious to plants, has been emphasized in the atmospheric chemistry community as the predominant terrestrial ozone depositional sink. However, there is an abundance of observational evidence from monitoring sites around the world suggesting that nonstomatal deposition processes (e.g., surface-mediated aqueous reactions on leaf cuticles, reactions with soil organic matter) are important ozone sinks. With observations from one of the longest ozone eddy covariance datasets available and a model hierarchy, I find substantial variations in nonstomatal ozone dry deposition, which is a non-negligible amount of the total ozone dry deposition, and identify the individual deposition processes driving observed variability. I pinpoint the responses of ozone pollution to changes in precursor emissions, climate, and ozone dry deposition at the beginning and end of the 21st century using a new version of the NOAA GFDL chemistry-climate model that more explicitly resolves deposition processes by leveraging the interactive biophysics of the land component of the model. My work highlights that under strong precursor emission controls there is a shift in the high ozone pollution season over northern mid-latitudes to a wintertime peak, and that wintertime ozone is sensitive to ozone dry deposition due to the long ozone lifetime. For both summer and winter, I find that neglecting variations in nonstomatal deposition and dependencies on environmental conditions may hinder accurate identification of the processes driving observed trends and variability in ozone pollution. In light of the sensitivity of ozone to dry deposition during winter, I identify a need for developing observational constraints on the wintertime depositional sink.

description: Recently, the academic and political debate on resource scarcity and conflict has been revitalized against the background of global trends like climate change and the growing commercial pressure on land. Scholars widely agree that resource scarcity causes or influences conflict via social and political mediation mechanisms. But the respective understanding of social mediation fundamentally depends on theoretical and ontological perspectives. We argue that conflicts over land are indeed distributive conflicts over a scarce resource. But they cannot be understood regarding only the materiality of the resource because the conflicts are embedded in specific social relations. We examine local conflicts over land in the Comoé region, South Western Burkina Faso and illustrate how local citizenship is negotiated in these conflicts. Control of and access to land as well as social categories of citizenship and belonging are linked to each other in a mutually constitutive relationship.

description: Future Square Kilometre Array (SKA) surveys are expected to generate huge datasets of 21cm maps on cosmological scales from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). We assess the viability of exploiting machine learning techniques, namely, convolutional neural networks (CNN), to simultaneously estimate the astrophysical and cosmological parameters from 21cm maps from semi-numerical simulations. We further convert the simulated 21cm maps into SKA-like mock maps using the detailed SKA antennae distribution, thermal noise and a recipe for foreground cleaning. We successfully design two CNN architectures (VGGNet-like and ResNet-like) that are both efficiently able to extract simultaneously three astrophysical parameters, namely the photon escape fraction (f$_{\rm esc}$), the ionizing emissivity power dependence on halo mass ($C_{\rm ion}$) and the ionizing emissivity redshift evolution index ($D_{\rm ion}$), and three cosmological parameters, namely the matter density parameter ($Ω_{m}$), the dimensionless Hubble constant ($h$), and the matter fluctuation amplitude ($σ_{8}$), from 21cm maps at several redshifts. With the presence of noise from SKA, our designed CNNs are still able to recover these astrophysical and cosmological parameters with great accuracy ($R^{2} > 92\%$), improving to $R^{2} > 99\%$ towards low redshift and low neutral fraction values. Our results show that future 21cm observations can play a key role to break degeneracy between models and tightly constrain the astrophysical and cosmological parameters, using only few frequency channels.

description: The Casimir effect is investigated in light-cone quantization. It is shown that for spacelike separation of the walls enclosing the system the standard result for the pressure exerted on the walls is obtained. For walls separated in light-cone space direction no regularization of the quantum fluctuations exists which would yield a finite pressure. The origin of this failure and its implications for other vacuum properties are discussed by analyzing the Casimir effect as seen from a moving observer approaching the speed of light. The possibility for calculation of thermodynamic quantities in light-cone quantization via the Casimir effect is pointed out.

description: Three closely related issues will be discussed. Magnetic quarks having non-Abelian charges have been found recently to appear as the dominant infrared degrees of freedom in some vacua of softly broken N=2 supersymmetric QCD with SU(n_c) gauge group. Their condensation upon N=1 perturbation causes confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking. We argue that these magnetic quarks can be naturally related to the semiclassical non-Abelian monopoles of the type first discussed by Goddard, Nuyts, Olive and E. Weinberg. We discuss also general properties of non-Abelian vortices and discuss their relevance to the confinement in QCD. Finally, calculation by Douglas and Shenker of the tension ratios for vortices of different N-alities in the softly broken N=2 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, is carried to the second order in the adjoint multiplet mass. A correction to the ratios violating the sine formula is found, showing that the latter is not a universal quantity.

(Togo) with severe (second- and third-degree) burns of 25–78% of total body surface area (TBSA) due
to flame in domestic accidents and were treated using skin substitutes.
We conducted skin substitution by dermal templates (Integra?) for two children and by skin allografts
for the other two. In the two cases of dermal templates, we performed a wound excision on day 30 in one
case, and on day 28 in the other. In one case, we associated the coverage with the dermal template to a
negative pressure wound therapy; we applied skin graft on day 18 and day 21. In the follow-up, we
observed no complication in both cases.
In one of the two cases of skin allograft, we performed an eschar excision on day 8 and a donor skin
allograft. we conducted another excision on day 15 while some parts were covered with skin autograft.
The child died ten hours after the last procedure. The second patient had sequential excisions and coerage
of some parts with skin allograft, and some others with skin autograft on day 42 In the fourth month, the
child was discharged with a wound coverage of 74%, which was completed by another skin graft in the
sixth month.
The availability of dermal templates compelled the choice between the two skin substitutes. The access
to other grafting options, such as a deceased skin bank, could allow the SOTH surgical team to step forward
to the burn care.

description: The extended boundary condition method can be used to study planewave scattering by an ellipsoid composed of an orthorhombic dielectric-magnetic material whose relative permittivity dyadic is a scalar multiple of its relative permeability dyadic. The scattered and internal field phasors can be expanded in terms of appropriate vector spherical wavefunctions with unknown expansion coefficients, whereas the incident field phasors can be similarly expanded but with known expansion coefficients. The scattered-field coefficients are related to the incident-field coefficients through a matrix. The scattering, absorption, and extinction efficiencies were calculated thereby in relation to the propagation direction and the polarization state of the incident plane wave, the constitutive-anisotropy parameters, and the nonsphericity parameters of the ellipsoid, when the eigenvectors of the real permittivity dyadic are aligned along the three semi-axes of the ellipsoid. As the electrical size of the ellipsoid increases, multiple lobes appear in the scattering pattern. The total scattering efficiency can be smaller than the absorption efficiency for some configurations of the incident plane wave but not necessarily for others. The nonsphericity of the object has a stronger influence on the total scattering efficiency than on the absorption efficiency. The forward-scattering efficiency increases monotonically with the electrical size for all configurations of the incident plane wave, and so does the backscattering efficiency for some configurations. For other configurations, the backscattering efficiency has an undulating behavior with increase in electrical size, and is highly affected by the shape and the constitutive anisotropy of the ellipsoid.

description: Let f : (M,p)\to (M',p') be a formal biholomorphic mapping between two germs of real analytic hypersurfaces in \C^n, p'=f(p). Assuming the source manifold to be minimal at p, we prove the convergence of the so-called reflection function associated to f. As a consequence, we derive the convergence of formal biholomorphisms between real analytic minimal holomorphically nondegenerate hypersurfaces. Related results on partial convergence of formal biholomorphisms are also obtained.

description: In this paper the N=2 supersymmetric extension of the Schroedinger Hamiltonian with 1/r-potential in arbitrary space-dimensions is constructed. The supersymmetric hydrogen atom admits a conserved Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector which extends the rotational symmetry SO(d) to a hidden SO(d+1) symmetry. This symmetry of the system is used to determine the discrete eigenvalues with their degeneracies and the corresponding bound state wave functions.

description: We compute the boundary two point functions of operators corresponding to massive spin 1 and spin 2 de Sitter fields, by an extension of the ``S-Matrix'' approach developed for bulk scalars. In each case the two point functions are of the form required for conformal invariance of the dual boundary field theory. We emphasise that in the context of dS/CFT one should consider unitary representations of the Euclidean conformal group, without reference to analytic continuation of the boundary theory to Lorentzian signature.

description: The existence of static self-gravitating Newtonian elastic balls is proved under general assumptions on the constitutive equations of the elastic material. The proof uses methods from the theory of finite-dimensional dynamical systems and the Euler formulation of elasticity theory for spherically symmetric bodies introduced recently by the authors. Examples of elastic materials covered by the results of this paper are Saint Venant-Kirchhoff, John and Hadamard materials.

1-out-of-n Oblivious Signatures: Security Revisited and a Generic Construction with an Efficient Communication Cost

description: 1-out-of-n oblivious signature by Chen (ESORIC 1994) is a protocol between the user and the signer. In this scheme, the user makes a list of n messages and chooses the message that the user wants to obtain a signature from the list. The user interacts with the signer by providing this message list and obtains the signature for only the chosen message without letting the signer identify which messages the user chooses. Tso et al. (ISPEC 2008) presented a formal treatment of 1-out-of-n oblivious signatures. They defined unforgeability and ambiguity for 1-out-of-n oblivious signatures as a security requirement. In this work, first, we revisit the unforgeability security definition by Tso et al. and point out that their security definition has problems. We address these problems by modifying their security model and redefining unforgeable security. Second, we improve the generic construction of a 1-out-of-n oblivious signature scheme by Zhou et al. (IEICE Trans 2022). We reduce the communication cost by modifying their scheme with a Merkle tree. Then we prove the security of our modified scheme.

 Other material examined: One female (ZSI) from Miao, Arunāchal Pradesh, Changlang District, India, 600 m a.s.l., collected 6 March 1990 by D. B. Bastawade (this is the specimen reported by Bastawade in 1992). One male (MHNG) from Khasi Hills, between Mawsynram and Balat, 16 km from Mawsynram, Meghālaya, India, 1000 m a.s.l., collected 27 October 1978 by C. Besuchet and I. Löbl. One male (MHNG) from Khasi Hills, above Shillong, North face, Meghālaya, India, 1850–1950 m a.s.l., collected 25 October 1978 by C. Besuchet and I. Löbl. One male (MHNG, MCZ DNA102051 ) from Tura trail (25°30′28′′N, 90°13′54′′E), Tura Peak, West Garo Hills District, Meghālaya, India, 650 m a.s.l., collected 14 October 2004 by G. Cuccodoro, C. Carlton, R. Leschen and D. Erne.
This material may well correspond to four new species: the one from Miao known only from a female specimen, and the other three from Meghālaya, known by a single male each. We prefer to postpone the description of these new species until more material becomes available for study.

Particle Weights and their Disintegration I

description: The notion of Wigner particles is attached to irreducible unitary representations of the Poincare group, characterized by parameters m and s of mass and spin, respectively. However, the Lorentz symmetry is broken in theories with long-range interactions, rendering this approach inapplicable (infraparticle problem). A unified treatment of both particles and infraparticles via the concept of particle weights can be given within the framework of Local Quantum Physics. They arise as temporal limits of physical states in the vacuum sector and describe the asymptotic particle content. In this paper their definition and characteristic properties are worked out in detail. The existence of the temporal limits is established by use of suitably defined seminorms which are also essential in proving the characteristic features of particle weights.

An Integral Equation Method for the Cahn-Hilliard Equation in the Wetting Problem

description: We present an integral equation approach to solving the Cahn-Hilliard equation equipped with boundary conditions that model solid surfaces with prescribed Young's angles. The discretization of the system in time using convex splitting leads to a modified biharmonic equation at each time step. To solve it, we split the solution into a volume potential computed with free space kernels, plus the solution to a second kind integral equation (SKIE). The volume potential is evaluated with the help of a box-based volume-FMM method. For non-box domains, source density is extended by solving a biharmonic Dirichlet problem. The near-singular boundary integrals are computed using quadrature by expansion (QBX) with FMM acceleration. Our method has linear complexity in the number of surface/volume degrees of freedom and can achieve high order convergence with adaptive refinement to manage error from function extension.
