description: A gift for the unicellular organism paramecium, Grit Ruhland’s to-scale “slipper” is only viewable under a microscope. Ruhland collaborated with scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Cellbiology and Genetics to build Pantoffel für Pantoffeltierchen (2007), a slipper-shaped home for the slipper-shaped organism, also known as Pantoffeltierchen, or slipper animalcules. The use of scale makes this work at once humorous and an explicit rejection of anthropocentricism. The specific encounter between shelter and organism creates a closed system that positions the viewing human as outside and other.

description: This paper presents a design technique for obtaining regular time-invariant low-density parity-check convolutional (RTI-LDPCC) codes with low complexity and good performance. We start from previous approaches which unwrap a low-density parity-check (LDPC) block code into an RTI-LDPCC code, and we obtain a new method to design RTI-LDPCC codes with better performance and shorter constraint length. Differently from previous techniques, we start the design from an array LDPC block code. We show that, for codes with high rate, a performance gain and a reduction in the constraint length are achieved with respect to previous proposals. Additionally, an increase in the minimum distance is observed.

Few-cycle fiber pulse compression and evolution of negative resonant radiation

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: We present numerical simulations and experimental observations of the spectral expansion of fs-pulses compressing in optical fibers. Using the input pulse frequency chirp we are able to scan through the pulse compression spectra and observe in detail the emergence of negative-frequency resonant radiation (NRR), a recently discovered pulse instability coupling to negative frequencies [Rubino et al., PRL 108, 253901 (2012)]. We observe how the compressing pulse is exciting NRR as long as it overlaps spectrally with the resonant frequency. Furthermore, we observe that optimal pulse compression can be achieved at an optimal input chirp and for an optimal fiber length. The results are important for Kerr-effect pulse compressors, to generate novel light sources, as well as for the observation of quantum vacuum radiation.

description: 3D Morphable models of the human body capture variations among subjects and are useful in reconstruction and editing applications. Current dental models use an explicit mesh scene representation and model only the teeth, ignoring the gum. In this work, we present the first parametric 3D morphable dental model for both teeth and gum. Our model uses an implicit scene representation and is learned from rigidly aligned scans. It is based on a component-wise representation for each tooth and the gum, together with a learnable latent code for each of such components. It also learns a template shape thus enabling several applications such as segmentation, interpolation, and tooth replacement. Our reconstruction quality is on par with the most advanced global implicit representations while enabling novel applications. Project page: https://vcai.mpi-inf.mpg.de/projects/DMM/
Two-dimensional Fermionic Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference with Weyl Fermions

description: We propose a two-dimensional Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) type interference experiment for Weyl fermions in graphene and 3D topological insulators. Since Weyl fermions exhibit linear dispersion, similar to photons in vacuum, they can be used to obtain the HOM interference intensity pattern as a function of the delay time between two Weyl fermions. We show that while the Coulomb interaction leads to a significant change in the angle dependence of the tunneling of two identical Weyl fermions incident from opposite sides of a potential barrier, it does not affect the HOM interference pattern, in contrast to previous expectations. We apply our formalism to develop a Weyl fermion beam-splitter (BS) for controlling the transmission and reflection coefficients. We calculate the resulting time-resolved correlation function for two identical Weyl fermions scattering off the BS.

Conductivity and thermopower are computed in the diffusive limit of transport based on the Boltzmann equation. Bulk and surface contribution to the transport coefficients are separated by a special projection technique. As a result we show clear signatures of the topological surface state in the thermoelectric properties.

Multilevel Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method for High-Contrast Single-Phase Flow Problems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014

description: In this paper we propose a general framework for the uncertainty quantification of quantities of interest for high-contrast single-phase flow problems. It is based on the generalized multiscale finite element method (GMsFEM) and multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) methods. The former provides a hierarchy of approximations of different resolution, whereas the latter gives an efficient way to estimate quantities of interest using samples on different levels. The number of basis functions in the online GMsFEM stage can be varied to determine the solution resolution and the computational cost, and to efficiently generate samples at different levels. In particular, it is cheap to generate samples on coarse grids but with low resolution, and it is expensive to generate samples on fine grids with high accuracy. By suitably choosing the number of samples at different levels, one can leverage the expensive computation in larger fine-grid spaces toward smaller coarse-grid spaces, while retaining the accuracy of the final Monte Carlo estimate. Further, we describe a multilevel Markov chain Monte Carlo method, which sequentially screens the proposal with different levels of approximations and reduces the number of evaluations required on fine grids, while combining the samples at different levels to arrive at an accurate estimate. The framework seamlessly integrates the multiscale features of the GMsFEM with the multilevel feature of the MLMC methods following the work in \cite{ketelson2013}, and our numerical experiments illustrate its efficiency and accuracy in comparison with standard Monte Carlo estimates.

A New Type of Quantum Criticality in the Pyrochlore Iridates

description: Magnetic fluctuations and electrons couple in intriguing ways in the vicinity of zero temperature phase transitions - quantum critical points - in conducting materials. Quantum criticality is implicated in non-Fermi liquid behavior of diverse materials, and in the formation of unconventional superconductors. Here we uncover an entirely new type of quantum critical point describing the onset of antiferromagnetism in a nodal semimetal engendered by the combination of strong spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations, and which is predicted to occur in the iridium oxide pyrochlores. We formulate and solve a field theory for this quantum critical point by renormalization group techniques, show that electrons and antiferromagnetic fluctuations are strongly coupled, and that both these excitations are modified in an essential way. This quantum critical point has many novel features, including strong emergent spatial anisotropy, a vital role for Coulomb interactions, and highly unconventional critical exponents. Our theory motivates and informs experiments on pyrochlore iridates, and constitutes a singular realistic example of a non-trivial quantum critical point with gapless fermions in three dimensions.

description: Dipolaritons are a three-way superposition of photon, a direct exciton, and an indirect exciton that are formed in coupled quantum well microcavities. As is the case with exciton-polaritons, dipolaritons have a self-interaction due to direct and exchange effects of the underlying electrons and holes. Here we present a theoretical description of dipolaritons and derive simple formulas for their basic parameters. In particular, we derive the effective dipolariton-dipolariton interaction taking into account of exchange effects between the excitons. We obtain a simple relation to describe the effective interaction at low densities. We find that dipolaritons should condense under suitable conditions, described by a dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equation. While the parameters for condensation are promising, we find that the level of tunability of the interactions is limited.

description: We investigate steam condensation induced water hammer (CIWH) phenomena and present new theoretical results. We use the WAHA3 model based on two-phase flow six first-order partial differential equations that present one dimensional, surface averaged mass, momentum and energy balances. A second order accurate high-resolution shock-capturing numerical scheme was applied with different kind of limiters in the numerical calculations. The applied two-fluid model shows some similarities to Relap5 which is widely used in the nuclear industry to simulate nuclear power plant accidents. This model was validated with different CIWH experiments which were performed in the PMK-2 facility, which is a full-pressure thermo-hydraulic model of the nuclear power plant of VVER-440/312 type in the Energy Research Center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest and in the Rosa facility in Japan. In our recent study we show the first part of a planned large database which will give us the upper and lower flooding mass flow rates for various pipe geometries where CIWH can happen. Such a reliable database would be a great help for future reactor constructions and scheming.

Newton's cradle analogue with Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We propose a possible experimental realization of a quantum analogue of Newton's cradle using a configuration which starts from a Bose-Einstein condensate. The system consists of atoms with two internal states trapped in a one dimensional tube with a longitudinal optical lattice and maintained in a strong Tonks-Girardeau regime at maximal filling. In each site the wave function is a superposition of the two atomic states and a disturbance of the wave function propagates along the chain in analogy with the propagation of momentum in the classical Newton's cradle. The quantum travelling signal is generally deteriorated by dispersion, which is large for a uniform chain and is known to be zero for a suitably engineered chain, but the latter is hardly realizable in practice. Starting from these opposite situations we show how the coherent behaviour can be enhanced with minimal experimental effort.

The Recentness of Things

Publisher: name: punctum books

description: Art has the habit of appearing in object form. The habit has been difficult to bring into sharp focus, though, no matter how aggressively art itself seems to summon us to do so. For all the scrutiny devoted to Las Meninas(1656) as a representation of representation (in the line of thinking that Michel Foucault established in The Order of Things [1966]), too little attention has been paid to the back side of the painting—that is, the image of the back side, the segmented stretcher supporting the monumental stretched canvas (the unevenness of its edges clearly visible), leaning against the large easel. Diego Velázquez does not expose this back side in a small gesture; it is a full-length drama. It is a drama that means to assert painting as a material act, and to assert the fact of the object form of painting, of the material support of the image, of the bulk of the production and the product. This is certainly not the point of the painting tout court, but it is a point in the painting, and an especially poignant point in our age of digital reproducibility when (as in André Malraux’s photographically mediated musée imaginaire) physical detail suffers the homogenization perpetrated by the image. As though in anticipation of his masterpiece’s ubiquitous reproduction, Velázquez bids his audience to remember: paintings have size and shape and weight.

description: Photovoltaic energy conversion in photovoltaic cells has been analyzed by the detailed balance approach or by thermodynamic arguments. Here we introduce a network representation to analyze the performance of such systems once a suitable kinetic model (represented by a master equation in the space of the different system states) has been constructed. Such network representation allows one to decompose the steady state dynamics into cycles, characterized by their cycle affinities. The maximum achievable efficiency of the device is obtained in the zero affinity limit. This method is applied to analyze a microscopic model for a bulk heterojunction organic solar cell that includes the essential optical and interfacial electronic processes that characterize this system, leading to an explicit expression for the theoretical efficiency limit in such system. In particular, the deviation from Carnot's efficiency associated with the exciton binding energy is quantified.

description: For over half a century, scientists have contemplated the potential existence of life within the clouds of Venus. Unknown chemistry leaves open the possibility that certain regions of the Venusian atmosphere are habitable. In situ atmospheric measurements with a suite of modern instruments can determine whether the cloud decks possess the characteristics needed to support life as we know it. The key habitability factors are cloud particle droplet acidity and cloud-layer water content. We envision an instrument suite to measure not only the acidity and water content of the droplets (and their variability) but additionally to confirm the presence of metals and other non-volatile elements required for life's metabolism, verify the existence of organic material, and search for biosignature gases as signs of life. We present an astrobiology-focused mission, science goals, and instruments that can be used on both a large atmospheric probe with a parachute lasting about one hour in the cloud layers (40 to 60 km) or a fixed-altitude balloon operating at about 52 km above the surface. The latter relies on four deployable mini probes to measure habitability conditions in the lower cloud region. The mission doubles as a preparation for sample return by determining whether a subset of cloud particles is non-liquid as well as characterizing the heterogeneity of the cloud particles, thereby informing sample collection and storage methods for a return journey to Earth.

description: In the often cited 1969 essay “Art After Philosophy,” Joseph Kosuth proclaimed that “all art (after Duchamp) is conceptual (in nature) because art only exists conceptually.”2 Kosuth argued that Duchamp’s historical role was to align art with conceptual function, separate from a sensual aesthetics of transcendence, the “morphological” form of which had traditionally made art favorable to conventional critical taste. Kosuth put his finger on the moment when art’s autonomy was finally separated from the philosophy of aesthetics, with a smug declaration signaling “the end of philosophy and the beginning of art.”3 The relevance of discrete, portable art objects receded, and the linguistic, functional character of art as concept was foregrounded.

Revisiting a Privacy-Preserving Location-based Service Protocol using Edge Computing

description: Location-based services are getting more popular day by day. Finding nearby stores, proximity-based marketing, on-road service assistance, etc., are some of the services that use location-based services. In location-based services, user information like user identity, user query, and location must be protected. Ma et al. (INFOCOM-BigSecurity 2019) proposed a privacy-preserving location-based service using Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption (SHE). Their protocol uses edge nodes that compute on SHE encrypted location data and determines the $k$-nearest points of interest contained in the Location-based Server (LBS) without revealing the original user coordinates to LBS, hence, ensuring privacy of users locations. In this work, we show that the above protocol by Ma et al. has a critical flaw. In particular, we show that their secure comparison protocol has a correctness issue in that it will not lead to correct comparison. A major consequence of this flaw is that straightforward approaches to fix this issue will make their protocol insecure. Namely, the LBS will be able to recover the actual locations of the users in each and every query.
Trauma Expanded / Aesthetics Expanded

description: In their curatorial statement, Katherine Behar and Emmy Mikelson propose that the exhibition And Another Thing was meant to critically engage the privilege of the human in relation to art, materialism, and the recent turn to ontology in the philosophical movements known as speculative realism and object-oriented ontologies. Here, I also want to engage the ontological turn, its reconception of materialism and the privilege of the human, while giving special attention to developments in media technology. After all, nearly all media technological developments have raised questions about the human in that they often trouble, if not transform, the relationship of time and space, memory and forgetting, embodiment and disembodiment, privacy and exposure, individual and collective, matter and life. In this sense, the development of a new media technology often is traumatic while providing a unique form of transmitting trauma. As Marshall McLuhan put it: “The emergence of a new media is too violent and superstimulated a social experience for the central nervous system simply to endure.”1 It is the usual relationship, or perhaps I should say the usual opposition of life and matter, that is central in this most recent ontological turn, a turn, I would propose, that is especially resonant with the traumatic changes wrought with the development of digital technologies.

description: We report on the experimental violation of multipartite Bell inequalities by entangled states of trapped ions. First we consider resource states for measurement-based quantum computation of between 3 and 7 ions and show that all strongly violate a Bell-type inequality for graph states, where the criterion for violation is a sufficiently high fidelity. Second we analyze GHZ states of up to 14 ions generated in a previous experiment using stronger Mermin-Klyshko inequalities, and show that in this case the violation of local realism increases exponentially with system size. These experiments represent a violation of multipartite Bell-type inequalities of deterministically prepared entangled states. In addition, the detection loophole is closed.

description: In And Another Thing: Nonanthropocentrism and Art, Katherine Behar and Emmy Mikelson explore how artists engage with nonanthropocentrism, one of the primary tenets shared by recent speculative realist and new materialist philosophies. Extending their investigations in And Another Thing, an exhibition which the authors curated in 2011, this volume documents both that exhibition and expands on two of its curatorial aims: prioritizing art historical contexts for contemporary philosophy (rather than the other way around), and apprehending artworks as historically specific objects of philosophy.

The book is organized in three sections. In the first section, Behar and Mikelson provide long-form essays that chart the evolution of nonanthropocentrism and art, spanning eighteenth-century architectural drawing, performance, minimalist sculpture, and contemporary postminimalism. These essays raise the stakes for art and speculative realism, showing how artists have figured and prefigured nonanthropocentric ideas strikingly similar to those expounded in various “new” realist, materialist, and speculativist philosophies. Literally occupying the center of the volume, in section two, the exhibition is represented by full-color plates of eleven works by Carl Andre, Laura Carton, Valie Export, Regina José Galindo, Tom Kotik, Mary Lucking, Bruce Nauman, Grit Ruhland, Anthony Titus, Ruslan Trusewych, and Zimoun. Artworks by these emerging and canonical figures lay bare the networks of alliances underlying the exhibition. The book concludes with three short meditations on the relation between nonanthropocentrism and art, and what that relation might portend for future thought. These essays, by Bill Brown, Patricia Ticineto Clough, and Robert Jackson, are speculative in the sense that they perceive potentials for theory arising from nonanthropocentrism’s manifestations in art.

description: Bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) with a layered structure and visible light response exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity. To enhance its photocatalytic activity for the degradation of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), Zn2+ is partially substituted for Bi3+ in the Bi2WO6 lattice in this study. Particularly, the effect of Zn2+ content (0–22.5 at%) on the crystal structure, optical property, and photocatalytic activity for the photodegradation of PFAS of Bi2WO6 is investigated. According to the Le Bail fits, the unit-cell volume is slightly reduced from 487.7 Å3 to 480.8 Å3 by the partial substitution of smaller Zn2+ (0.74 Å for CN = 6) for larger Bi3+ (1.03 Å for CN = 6) in the Bi2WO6 crystal lattice, and the solubility of Zn2+ in the Bi2WO6 lattice is found to be below 17.5 at%. The partial substitution of Zn2+ influences the self-aggregation of nanoparticles, Ostwald ripening, and self-organization of nanoplates, resulting in different morphologies. Although the optical bandgap energy of Bi2WO6 is not significantly altered upon the partial substitution of Zn2+, the conduction and valence bands simultaneously shift upward. Among the Bi2−xZnxWO6+δ photocatalysts, 2.5 at% Zn2+-substituted Bi2WO6 exhibits larger water oxidation photocurrent density (0.316 mA cm−2 at 1.23 VRHE) and the highest photocatalytic activity for the photodegradation of PFHxA (k1 = 0.012 min−1). The trapping experiments confirm that the photo-excited holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (O2˙−) are the major reactive species involved in the photodegradation of PFHxA. Liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF/MS) reveals that decarboxylation and defluorination are the main possible routes for the photodegradation of PFHxA over Bi2−xZnxWO6+δ photocatalysts. Our findings suggest that the partial Zn2+-to-Bi2+ substitution can enhance the photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6 for the degradation of PFAS.

description: We demonstrate how the metallicities of young super star clusters can be measured using novel spectroscopic techniques in the J-band. The near-infrared flux of super star clusters older than ~6 Myr is dominated by tens to hundreds of red supergiant stars. Our technique is designed to harness the integrated light of that population and produces accurate metallicities for new observations in galaxies above (M83) and below (NGC 6946) solar metallicity. In M83 we find [Z]= +0.28 +/- 0.14 dex using a moderate resolution (R~3500) J-band spectrum and in NGC 6496 we report [Z]= -0.32 +/- 0.20 dex from a low resolution spectrum of R~1800. Recently commissioned low resolution multiplexed spectrographs on the VLT (KMOS) and Keck (MOSFIRE) will allow accurate measurements of super star cluster metallicities across the disks of star-forming galaxies up to distances of 70 Mpc with single night observation campaigns using the method presented in this letter.

description: We present a Deep-Learning (DL) pipeline developed for the detection and characterization of astronomical sources within simulated Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) data cubes. The pipeline is composed of six DL models: a Convolutional Autoencoder for source detection within the spatial domain of the integrated data cubes, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for denoising and peak detection within the frequency domain, and four Residual Neural Networks (ResNets) for source characterization. The combination of spatial and frequency information improves completeness while decreasing spurious signal detection. To train and test the pipeline, we developed a simulation algorithm able to generate realistic ALMA observations, i.e. both sky model and dirty cubes. The algorithm simulates always a central source surrounded by fainter ones scattered within the cube. Some sources were spatially superimposed in order to test the pipeline deblending capabilities. The detection performances of the pipeline were compared to those of other methods and significant improvements in performances were achieved. Source morphologies are detected with subpixel accuracies obtaining mean residual errors of $10^{-3}$ pixel ($0.1$ mas) and $10^{-1}$ mJy/beam on positions and flux estimations, respectively. Projection angles and flux densities are also recovered within $10\%$ of the true values for $80\%$ and $73\%$ of all sources in the test set, respectively. While our pipeline is fine-tuned for ALMA data, the technique is applicable to other interferometric observatories, as SKA, LOFAR, VLBI, and VLTI.

Nietzsche and Networks, Nietzschean Networks: The Digital Dionysus
Creators: name: Mellamphy, Dan

Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2016

description: The inspiration for this volume of essays, drawn from the pro-ceedings of the Nietz sche Workshop @ Western (held at West-ern University, London on, and the Center for Transformative Media at The New School, New York ny),1 comes from the hy-pothesis that Nietz sche’s thinking is pertinent to a phenomenon which can be described as the planetary propensity toward the digitization and networking of information. Moreover, “Nietz-sche-Thought”  —  to  lift  a  phrase  from  philosopher  François  Laruelle2  —  provides  unique  insights  about  the  complexities of  our  contemporary  network-centric  condition,    especially  in  relation  to  the  all-important  notion  of  “information,”  which  has  been  conceptualized  primarily  in  terms  that  are  protoco-logical and computational, hence almost exclusively Apollonian(or  as  Gilles  Deleuze  and  Félix  Guattari  would  say,  “striated”),  rather  than  Dionysian  (or  as  Deleuze  and  Guattari  would  say,  “smooth”) terms. As Manav Guha argues in his contribution to this volume, the current military understanding of net-centric-ity is “a project of extreme striation involving the harnessing of Dionysian energies of the yet-to-be-processed with the Apollon-ian reigns of the processor.”
Interacting Viscous Dark Energy in Bianchi Type-III Universe

description: In this paper we study the evolution of the equation of state of viscous dark energy in the scope of Bianchi type III space-time. We consider the case when the dark energy is minimally coupled to the perfect fluid as well as direct interaction with it. The viscosity and the interaction between the two fluids are parameterized by constants $ζ_{0}$ and $σ$ respectively. We have made a detailed investigation on the cosmological implications of this parametrization. To differentiate between different dark energy models, we have performed a geometrical diagnostic by using the statefinder pair $\{s, r\}$.

The Internet as a Development from Descartes' Res Cogitans: How to Render It Dionysian
Creators: name: Hutter, Horst
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2016

description: The vision of the human condition that emerges from both an-cient Greek tragedy and pre-Christian philosophy involves the fundamental duality of Apollo and Dionysus, among other di-vinities,  naturally.  Accordingly,  life  is  defined  and  ordered  by  the influence of both of these divinities. As such it involves defi-nite form, growth and change through time, as well as finitude and the dissolution of every form into chaos and death. Apollo and Dionysus both always win and ultimately always also lose. Nothing  lasts,  except  the  constant  regeneration  of  new  forms  of  growth  and  movements  toward  the  future  that  transit  brief  presents, before becoming memories of the past. From this per-spective we are indeed all goats that sing and dance for a while before  vanishing  into  the  nihilating  nothing.2  Or,  in  another  image,  we  are  all  donkeys  that  celebrate  for  a  while,  welcom-ing new donkeys to the celebration before singing our songs of goodbye.3 Yet the fact that every singing donkey or goat stands under  the  influence  of  two  divinities  has  also  given  birth  to  much hope and longing for eternity and the promise of escap-ing from the depredations of time. Some of these structures of hope have been based on vehement attempts to defeat Dionysus altogether and enthrone a permanent Apollo.
