title: REFRAMING CINEMATOGRAPHY: Interpreting Cinematography in an Emerging Virtual Practice

description: Many of the current discussions around the practice of cinematography focus on the extension or disruption of the art form as it is increasingly practiced in the realm of the virtual. Since Avatar (Cameron 2009) won the Oscar for Best Cinematography at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, a significant number of the nominated and winning live-action feature films in this category have been characterised by a heavy component of virtual images rather than images produced by a camera. Although cinema has a history that spans over a century, computer-generated imagery (CGI) has only been present in this form since the early 1990s. Moreover, CGI has only become substantial in many critics’ views as a disruption to the practice and singular authorship of cinematography since the release of Avatar (Cameron 2009), with films such as Life of Pi (Lee 2012) and Gravity (Cuarón 2013) seen as exemplifying this trend. The objective of this research is to investigate the current definition of cinematography and to interpret the practice of the contemporary art form. This process of investigation is driven by a self-reflexive analysis of my studio projects that have been challenged, shaped, and developed by the work and experience of other film practitioners—specifically, cinematographers and cinema theorists—whose ideas relate closely to the problem at hand. This written component of my doctoral research comprises a wide-ranging analysis of the history of cinematography, with a particular focus on the evolution of virtual image production. I achieve this by comparing and contrasting the work of early cinematographers with that of contemporary cinematographers. Following this, I make comparisons between current leading examples of virtual cinematography in the discipline. Traditional and ‘new’ virtual practices of cinematography are considered through the prism of concepts proposed by theorists such as Jean Baudrillard in the 1980s and Charles Peirce in the nineteenth century and specifically Stephen Prince’s own writings about Peirce’s ideas in the 1990s. Contemporary academic thinkers such as Scott McQuire, Stephen Prince, and Patrick Keating, among many others were also instrumental in constructing this thesis. I conclude the discussion with my application of the latest methodological virtual cinematographic processes to several of my projects where I fulfilled the role of cinematographer. Emerging from this research is a new and holistic understanding of the practice of cinematography and a contemporary definition of the art form. This research has shaped my own professional practice of cinematography by formulating a methodology of ‘cinematic verisimilitude’ which I apply to image-making for cinema with the camera and the computer.
Homotopy of Rational Maps and the Quantization of Skyrmions

description: The Skyrme model is a classical field theory which models the strong interaction between atomic nuclei. It has to be quantized in order to compare it to nuclear physics. When the Skyrme model is semi-classically quantized it is important to take the Finkelstein-Rubinstein constraints into account. The aim of this paper is to show how to calculate these FR constraints directly from the rational map ansatz using basic homotopy theory. We then apply this construction in order to quantize the Skyrme model in the simplest approximation, the zero mode quantization. This is carried out for up to 22 nucleons, and the results are compared to experiment.

description: Tumour cell apoptosis is a crucial indicator for judging the antiproliferative effects of anti-cancer drugs. The detection of optical and macromolecular biomarkers is the most common method for assessing the level of apoptosis. We aimed to explore the anti-tumour mechanisms of 6-methoxyflavone. Three optical methods, including the percentage of apoptotic cells, cell morphology, and subcellular ultrastructure changes, were obtained using flow cytometry, inverted fluorescence microscopy, and transmission electron microscope imaging. The mRNA or protein expression of macromolecular biomarkers related to common apoptotic pathways was determined via polymerase chain reactions or western blot assays. The functional role of the core gene biomarker was investigated through overexpression, knockdown, and phosphorylation inhibitor (GSK2656157). Transcriptome sequencing and the optical biomarkers assays demonstrated that 6-methoxyflavone could induce apoptosis in HeLa cells. The expression of macromolecular biomarkers indicated that 6-methoxyflavone induced apoptosis through the PERK/EIF2α/ATF4/CHOP pathway. Phosphorylated PERK was identified as the core biomarker of this pathway. Both overexpression and GSK2656157 significantly altered the expression level of phosphorylated PERK in 6-methoxyflavone-treated HeLa cells. Macromolecular biomarkers, such as phosphorylated PERK and phosphorylated EIF2α are of great significance for assessing the therapeutic effects of 6-methoxyflavone.

description: Migraine is a common and painful neurological disorder, with genetic and environmental components. The prevalence of migraine varies between different racial groups, being higher in Caucasian populations (12%). Several conditions have been shown to be comorbid with migraine. One heart disorder that has been associated with migraine is a cardiac malformation affecting the interatrial septum and leading to patent foramen ovale (PFO), resulting from an incomplete anatomic fusion of the atrial septum primum and secundum. Mutations in the development regulatory gene GATA-4, located on human chromosome 8p23.1-p22, have been found to be responsible for some cases of congenital heart defects including PFO. To determine whether the GATA-4 gene is involved in migraine, the present study performed an association analysis of a common GATA-4 variant that results in a change of amino acid (S377G), in a large case/control population (275 unrelated Caucasian migraineurs versus 275 control individuals). Samples were genotyped for the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) using FACSArray flow cytometer and frequencies for this variant compared in migraine cases and age, sex and ethnicity matched controls...

description: In economics duopoly is a market dominated by two firms large enough to influence the market price. Stackelberg presented a dynamic form of duopoly that is also called `leader-follower' model. We give a quantum perspective on Stackelberg duopoly that gives a backwards-induction outcome same as the Nash equilibrium in static form of duopoly also known as Cournot's duopoly. We find two qubit quantum pure states required for this purpose.

description: What is the dimension of spacetime? We address this question in the context of the AdS/CFT Correspondence. We give a prescription for computing the number of large bulk dimensions, $D$, from strongly-coupled CFT$_d$ data, where "large" means parametrically of order the AdS scale. The idea is that unitarity of 1-loop AdS amplitudes, dual to non-planar CFT correlators, fixes $D$ in terms of tree-level data. We make this observation rigorous by deriving a positive-definite sum rule for the 1-loop double-discontinuity in the flat space/bulk-point limit. This enables us to prove an array of AdS/CFT folklore, and to infer new properties of large $N$ CFTs at strong coupling that ensure consistency of emergent large extra dimensions with string/M-theory. We discover an OPE universality at the string scale: to leading order in large $N$, heavy-heavy-light three-point functions, with heavy operators that are parametrically lighter than a power of $N$, are linear in the heavy conformal dimension. We explore its consequences for supersymmetric CFTs and explain how emergent large extra dimensions relate to a Sublattice Weak Gravity Conjecture for CFTs. Lastly, we conjecture, building on a claim of arXiv:0908.0756, that any CFT with large higher-spin gap and no global symmetries has a holographic hierarchy: $D=d+1$

description: We propose an application of a parity-time symmetric non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model by embedded it in a two-dimensional square lattice tube. The coalescence state at the exceptional point of non-Hermitian SSH model is chiral and selectively controls helical transport and amplification. Two typical helicity-dependent scattering dynamics are observed. If the incidence has an identical helicity with the embedded non-Hermitian SSH model, we observe a perfect transmission without reflection. However, if the incidence has an opposite helicity with the embedded non-Hermitian SSH model, except for a full transmission, we observe an amplified transmission with different helicity from the incidence; but the amplified reflection has identical helicity with the incidence. These intriguing features are completely unexpected in Hermitian system. Moreover, the helical amplification at high efficiency can be triggered by an arbitrary excitation. The different dynamics between incidences with opposite helicities are results of unidirectional tunneling, which is revealed to be capable of realizing without introducing magnetic field. Our findings open a direction in all-optical device and provide perspectives in non-Hermitian transport.

description: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been applied to address a variety of cooperative multi-agent problems with either discrete action spaces or continuous action spaces. However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous work has ever succeeded in applying DRL to multi-agent problems with discrete-continuous hybrid (or parameterized) action spaces which is very common in practice. Our work fills this gap by proposing two novel algorithms: Deep Multi-Agent Parameterized Q-Networks (Deep MAPQN) and Deep Multi-Agent Hierarchical Hybrid Q-Networks (Deep MAHHQN). We follow the centralized training but decentralized execution paradigm: different levels of communication between different agents are used to facilitate the training process, while each agent executes its policy independently based on local observations during execution. Our empirical results on several challenging tasks (simulated RoboCup Soccer and game Ghost Story) show that both Deep MAPQN and Deep MAHHQN are effective and significantly outperform existing independent deep parameterized Q-learning method.

description: In recent years Australian schools entered a period of significant curriculum change with the phased implementation of a national curriculum. This research focuses on the work of teachers as they enact the official curriculum; their role in curriculum change is critical (Brady & Kennedy, 2003; Clandinin & Connolly, 1990; Smith & Lovat, 2003). History was one of the subjects included in the first phase of the Australian curriculum development. Teachers’ understanding of the discipline, purpose and appropriate pedagogies is essential to student success in history (Taylor, 2008; Yilmaz, 2008). As an education officer working in curriculum support with history teachers across Queensland, a large state with considerable remote rural areas, I was interested in understanding the particular challenges of curriculum implementation for teachers in rural schools. The research reported in this thesis is a single-site educational case study that examines the experiences of one team of teachers as they planned for the implementation of the new curriculum, in the learning area of history, in a rural secondary school in Queensland. I locate my research at the intersection of four fields of inquiry: curriculum change, history curriculum, rural schooling and teachers’ work as mediators of the curriculum.

description: We review the equivalence of maximal center gauge fixing to the problem of finding the best fit, to a given lattice gauge field, by a thin vortex configuration. This fit is necessarily worst at the location of P-plaquettes. We then compare the fits achieved in Gribov copies generated by (i) over-relaxation; (ii) over-relaxation after Landau gauge preconditioning; and (iii) simulated annealing. Simulated annealing yields the best fit if all links on the lattice are included, but the situation changes if we consider only the lattice volume exterior to P-plaquettes. In this exterior region, the fit is best for Gribov copies generated by over-relaxation, and worst for Gribov copies generated after Landau gauge preconditioning. The two fitting criteria (including or not including the P-plaquettes) yield string tensions differing by -34% to +20% respectively, relative to the full string tension. Our usual procedure (``quenched minimization'') seems to be a compromise between these criteria, and yields string tensions at an intermediate value close to the full string tension.

description: We introduce a class of higher-order derivative models in (2,1) space-time dimensions. The models are described by a vector field, and contain a Proca-like mass term which prevents gauge invariance. We use the gauge embedding procedure to generate another class of higher-order derivative models, gauge-invariant and dual to the former class. We show that the results are valid in arbitrary (d,1) space-time dimensions when one discards the Chern-Simons and Chern-Simons-like terms. We also investigate duality at the quantum level, and we show that it is preserved in the quantum scenario. Other results include investigations concerning the gauge embedding approach when the vector field couples with fermionic matter, and when one adds nonlinearity.

Can Neutron-Star Mergers Explain the r-process Enrichment in Globular Clusters?

description: Star-to-star dispersion of r-process elements has been observed in a significant number of old, metal-poor globular clusters. We investigate early-time neutron-star mergers as the mechanism for this enrichment. Through both numerical modeling and analytical arguments, we show that neutron-star mergers cannot be induced through dynamical interactions early in the history of the cluster, even when the most liberal assumptions about neutron-star segregation are assumed. Therefore, if neutron-star mergers are the primary mechanism for r-process dispersion in globular clusters, they likely result from the evolution of isolated, primordial binaries in the clusters. Through population modeling, we find that moderate fractions of GCs with enrichment are only possible when a significant number of double neutron-star progenitors proceed through Case BB mass transfer --- under various assumptions for the initial properties of globular clusters, a neutron-star merger with the potential for enrichment will occur in ~15-60% (~30-90%) of globular clusters if this mass transfer proceeds stably (unstably). The strong anti-correlation between the pre-supernova orbital separation and post-supernova systemic velocity due to mass loss in the supernova leads to efficient ejection of most enrichment candidates from their host clusters. Thus, most enrichment events occur shortly after the double neutron stars are born. This requires star-forming gas that can absorb the r-process ejecta to be present in the globular cluster 30-50 Myr after the initial burst of star formation. If scenarios for redistributing gas in globular clusters cannot act on these timescales, the number of neutron-star merger enrichment candidates drops severely, and it is likely that another mechanism, such as r-process enrichment from collapsars, is at play.

description: Extreme dieting, exercise, cosmetic surgery, substance abuse, disordered eating, mental and physical health conditions are issues linked to the development of a negative body image. It is a significant issue in contemporary society and one of the top personal concerns of Australian adolescents. While many body image awareness and intervention campaigns have previously been deployed to combat this issue, there has been little research into the visual design of these campaigns. This doctoral project aims to demonstrate that visual designers using a practice-led designer-as-producer approach, rather than following the traditional designer-as-serviceprovider paradigm, can improve the efficacy of body awareness and intervention campaigns. My self-directed ‘designer-as-producer’ focus was informed by and responded to the contexts of body image in contemporary culture, contemporary visual design practice, and existing approaches towards body image awareness and intervention campaigns. To this end, a series of methods were employed, including creative studio practice, reflective analysis, and synthesis. These methods of investigation continuously informed each other, revealing new insights and suggesting further actions to be taken. One of the findings of the research was the problematic use of photographic imagery in this field. As an alternative to photographic imagery, my creative outcomes explored the use of hand-lettering to communicate body shape diversity through metaphor. The application of lettering also positioned my outcomes against mainstream consumerist culture by rejecting standardisation and promoting care and uniqueness. Working in a designer-as-producer capacity also allowed me to develop perspectives and modes of engagement that vastly differ from existing approaches used in body image awareness and intervention campaigns. The research project culminated in a speculative body image awareness and intervention campaign titled No Bodies Perfekt. Incorporating statements and messages found to be effective in changing perceptions around body image and media literacy, No Bodies Perfekt utilised augmented reality to disrupt physical advertising in the public sphere with hand-lettered digital overlays.

description: We present a new approach for generating solutions in heterotic string theory compactified down to three dimensions on a torus with d+n>2, where d and n stand for the number of compactified space--time dimensions and Abelian gauge fields, respectively. It is shown that in the case when d=2k+1 and n is arbitrary, one can apply a solution--generating procedure starting from solutions of the stationary Einstein theory with k Maxwell fields; our approach leads to classes of solutions which are invariant with respect to the total group of three-dimensional charging symmetries. We consider a particular extension of the stationary Einstein--multi-Maxwell theory obtained on the basis of the Kerr--multi-Newman--NUT special class of solutions and establish the conditions under which the resulting multi--dimensional metric is free of Dirac string peculiarities.

description: The in-medium color potential is a fundamental quantity for understanding the properties of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP). Open and hidden heavy-flavor (HF) production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions (URHICs) has been found to be a sensitive probe of this potential. Here we utilize a previously developed quarkonium transport approach in combination with insights from open HF diffusion to extract the color-singlet potential from experimental results on $Υ$ production in URHICs. Starting from a parameterized trial potential, we evaluate the $Υ$ transport parameters and conduct systematic fits to available data for the centrality dependence of ground and excited states at RHIC and the LHC. The best fits and their statistical significance are converted into a temperature-dependent potential. Including nonperturbative effects in the dissociation rate guided from open HF phenomenology, we extract a rather strongly coupled potential with substantial remnants of the long-range confining force in the QGP.

description: Composition, music-mathematical theory and the surnames of major European figures are not often deemed important in the so-called post-historical, post-modern or post-patriarchal era. In spite of this, I persevere with two things: a slow-paced, philological study of the doctrine of Jacques Lacan and the composition of non-octave music. As a young man, Lacan received a Catholic education that was hostile to Enlightenment philosophies. As an elderly man, Lacan declared himself an anti-philosopher and a non-progressive. He never let go of the Trinity or philological notions of the Letter qua mystery material or severe threat to common understanding. Unlike the tragedian Sigmund Freud, Lacan considered his work comic-pathetic, hence the incessant parade of insults and mockery. This is frequently overlooked by Anglophone academics. To correct this, I place an emphasis on the comic-pathetic Father figures that Lacan composed at the Panthéon from 1972 to 1980. Of secondary interest are Lacan’s four discourse-schemas from 1969 and his schema of capitalism from 1972.

description: By making use of the Green function concept of quantization of the electromagnetic field in Kramers--Kronig consistent media, a rigorous quantum mechanical derivation of the rate of intermolecular energy transfer in the presence of arbitrarily shaped, dispersing, and absorbing material bodies is given. Applications to bulk material, multi-slab planar structures, and microspheres are studied. It is shown that when the two molecules are near a planar interface, then surface-guided waves can strongly affect the energy transfer and essentially modify both the (Förster) short-range $R^{-6}$ dependence of the transfer rate and the long-range $R^{-2}$ dependence, which are typically observed in free space. In particular, enhancement (inhibition) of energy transfer can be accompanied by inhibition (enhancement) of donor decay. Results for four- and five-layered planar structures are given and compared with experimental results. Finally, the energy transfer between two molecules located at diametrically opposite positions outside a microsphere is briefly discussed.

description: SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) develop mitochondrial dysfunction and other cellular responses similar to those that occur in the dopaminergic neurons of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). It has been shown in animal models of PD that neuronal death can be prevented by metformin, an anti-diabetic drug. Both MPP+ and metformin inhibit complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It has been reported that decreased levels of the mitochondrial inner membrane proteins TIMM23 and NDUFS3 are associated with the increased generation of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial depolarization. In the present study, we investigated the effects of metformin on MPP+-induced neurotoxicity using differentiated human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. The results showed that pretreatment with metformin increased the viability of MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Pretreatment with metformin decreased the expression of TIMM23 and NDUFS3 in MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. This was correlated with reduced mitochondrial fragmentation and an improvement in the mitochondrial membrane potential. These results suggest that metformin pretreatment protects against MPP+-induced neurotoxicity, and offer insights into the potential role of metformin in protecting against toxin-induced parkinsonism.

The Color--Flavor Transformation of induced QCD

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The color-flavor transformation is applied to the U(N) lattice gauge model, in which the gauge theory is induced by a heavy chiral scalar field sitting on lattice sites. The flavor degrees of freedom can encompass several `generations' of the auxiliary field, and for each generation, remaining indices are associated with the elementary plaquettes touching the lattice site. The effective, color-flavor transformed theory is expressed in terms of gauge singlet matrix fields carried by lattice links. The effective action is analyzed for a hypercubic lattice in arbitrary dimension. The saddle points equations of the model in the large-N limit are discussed.

description: Many studies have reported that microRNA-221 (miR-221) is abnormally expressed in various cancers, and there has not been a study to systematically analyze the association between miR-221 and chemoresistance in different cancers. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, and Cochrane for relevant studies. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate. A total of 30 studies with 1670 patients were enrolled in our study. Thirteen cancer types have been studied, and traditional chemotherapy, targeted drugs, endocrine therapy, chemoradiotherapy, and other treatments were used. High miR-221 expression was associated with poor chemotherapy response in most studies, and the meta-analysis confirmed this result (OR = 3.64, 95%CI: 1.73–7.62, p = 0.001). Besides, the higher level of miR-221 was related to shorter overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.16, 95%CI: 1.47–3.16, p < 0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 1.81, 95%CI: 1.51–2.16, p < 0.001) in patients after chemotherapy. Our results highlight that high miR-221 expression has possible associations with chemoresistance and poor prognosis in multiple cancers. Further studies are needed to discover the molecular mechanisms underlying these associations to provide a solid evidence base for it being used as biomarkers of response to chemotherapeutic interventions in cancer.
