Secularization and the British Lyric in the Twentieth Century

Twentieth century

description: This dissertation considers how twentieth century British lyric poets, in continuing the traditional relationship between religion and poetry, respond to changing expectations and assumptions about poetry’s role and power—changes directly related to ongoing social processes of secularization. By combining recent critical insights from secularization theory and lyric theory with close readings of poems, essays, and letters from British poets, this dissertation shows that due to social changes that cohere around World War I, poets like Wilfred Owen, Mary Borden, and David Jones confront an unsettling of traditional strategies of lyric enchantment. This unsettling both imperils the legitimacy of lyric poetics and opens new opportunities. Poets such as Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and H.D. subsequently engage in strategies of deliberate re-enchantment to justify wide-ranging vocations, while the later Eliot, David Jones, and Elizabeth Jennings confront the limits of re-enchantment but still imagine the poetic vocation as connected to religion. In every case, this dissertation shows that lyric re-enchantment (as a distillation of the aesthetic itself) is fundamentally ambiguous; it is necessarily secular and immanent, yet it continues to imply a transcendence that can easily be put to religious or even supernatural ends. The lyric is thus a genre that uniquely registers the opportunities and challenges for the aesthetic in a secular age.

description: In order to verify Percival's conjecture [J. Phys. B 6,L229 (1973)] we study a planar billiard in its classical and quantum versions. We provide an evaluation of the nearest-neighbor level-spacing distribution for the Cassini oval billiard, taking into account relations with classical results. The statistical behavior of integrable and ergodic systems has been extensively confirmed numerically, but that is not the case for the transition between these two extremes. Our system's classical dynamics undergoes a transition from integrability to chaos by varying a shape parameter. This feature allows us to investigate the spectral fluctuations, comparing numerical results with semiclassical predictions founded on Percival's conjecture. We obtain good $global$ agreement with those predictions, in clear contrast with similar comparisons for other systems found in the literature. The structure of some eigenfunctions, displayed in the quantum Poincaré section, provides a clear explanation of the conjecture.

description: Mounding instability in a conserved growth from vapor is analysed within the framework of adatom kinetics on the growing surface. The analysis shows that depending on the local structure on the surface, kinetics of adatoms may vary, leading to disjoint regions in the sense of a continuum description. This is manifested particularly under the conditions of instability. Mounds grow on these disjoint regions and their lateral growth is governed by the flux of adatoms hopping across the steps in the downward direction. Asymptotically ln(t) dependence is expected in 1+1- dimensions. Simulation results confirm the prediction. Growth in 2+1- dimensions is also discussed.

Secure Computation Towards Practical Applications

description: Secure multi-party computation (MPC) is a central area of research in cryptography. Its goal is to allow a set of players to jointly compute a function on their inputs while protecting and preserving the privacy of each player's input. Motivated by the huge growth of data available and the rise of global privacy concerns of entities using this data, we study the feasibility of using secure computation techniques on large scale data sets to address these concerns. An important limitation of generic secure computation protocols is that they require at least linear time complexity. This seems to rule out applications involving big amounts of data. On the other hand, specific applications may have particular properties that allow for ad-hoc secure protocols overcoming the linear time barrier. In addition, in some settings the full level of security guaranteed by MPC protocols may not be required, and some controlled amount of privacy leakage can be acceptable. Towards this end, we first take a theoretical point of view, and study whether sublinear time RAM programs can be computed securely with sublinear time complexity in the two party setting. We then take a more practical approach, and study the specific scenario of private database querying, where both the server's data and the client's query need to be protected. In this last setting we provide two private database management systems achieving different levels of efficiency, functionality, and security. These three results provide an overview of this three-dimensional trade-off space. For the above systems, we describe formal security definitions and stablish mathematical proofs of security. We also take a practical approach roviding an implementation of the systems and experimental analysis of their efficiency.

description: In this study, the techno-economic approach of olive leaves (Olea europaea L.) wastes for the removal of Cd2+ from aqueous solutions was demonstrated. The adsorption process was illustrated regarding batch experiments and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, and Fourier-transform infrared characterization. The optimum pH and contact time were 6.6 and 123 min, respectively, giving Cd2+ removal efficiencies of 94.9% at Co = 50 mg/L and 81.5% at Co = 100 mg/L. The monolayer adsorption capacity of the Langmuir isotherm model was 32.6 mg/g (R2 = 0.97). The adsorption mechanisms might be related to (a) ion exchange with cations (e.g., K+, Na+, and Ca2+), (b) formation of cadmium chloride complexes, (c) interaction with oxygen-containing functional groups, (d) physical agglomeration in the pore surface, and (e) precipitation interaction using inorganic minerals (i.e., carbonates, phosphates, and silicates). The total cost of the adsorption process for the treatment of ions-containing wastewater was 0.038 $USD/m3. Assuming a benefit-cost of tertiary treated water as 0.044 $USD/m3, the adsorption system could attain a payback period of 5.7 years. This period was shorter than the lifetime of the capital investment (i.e., 10 years), and hence, the project would be economically feasible for an application.

description: Negative differential conductance (NDC) is expected to be an essential property to realize fast switching in future electronic devices. We here present a thorough analysis on electron transportability of a simple atomic-scale model consisting of square prisms, and clarify the detailed mechanism of the occurrence of NDC phenomenon in terms of the changes of local density of states upon applying bias voltages to the electrodes. Boosting up bias voltages, we observe sudden suppression of transmission peaks which results in NDC behavior in the current-voltage characteristic. This suppression is explained by the fact that when the bias voltage exceeds a certain threshold, the conduction channels contributing to the current flow are suddenly closed up to deny the electron transportation.

Security Exchange Theory

description: Security Exchange Theory is a novel approach to alliance behaviors in which a great power gives scarce security goods to a small state.  This behavior is a puzzle for two reasons.  First, it seems unlikely that a rational state would give away valuable resources without getting something in return, yet small states seem to have nothing to offer.  Second, small states sometimes refuse great power offers, which would seem to indicate that "free" security goods impose some sort of cost.  This theory addresses both of these puzzles.  First, it argues that great powers evaluate small states on their ability to contribute to the great power's security agenda.  The extent to which a small state can do so is its Perceived Strategic Value (PSV) in the eyes of the great power.  Ceteris paribus, small states with higher PSV receive larger security exchanges.  Second, it argues that small states face a wider array of threats than do great powers and array their forces to meet the greatest threat facing the regime.  To the extent that the small state's security perspective mirrors the great power's, the level of security exchanges will be higher.  However, because security exchanges impose costs on both parties, there are many cases in which either low PSV or an incompatible small state strategic agenda makes a security exchange unlikely.  I test the theory using great power - small state interactions in the Middle East between 1952 and 1961 using qualitative methods and from 1952 to 1979 using statistical analysis.  I find Security Exchange Theory is a powerful and parsimonious solution to the puzzle of great power - small state exchange behavior.

Microdroplet self-propulsion during dropwise condensation on lubricant-infused surfaces

description: Water vapor condensation is common in nature and widely used in industrial applications, including water harvesting, power generation, and desalination. As compared to traditional filmwise condensation, dropwise condensation on lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) can lead to an order-of-magnitude increase in heat transfer rates. Small droplets (with the diameter below 100 $μ$m) account for nearly 85 percent of the total heat transfer and droplet sweeping plays a crucial role in clearing nucleation sites, allowing for frequent re-nucleation. Here, we focus on the dynamic interplay of microdroplets with the thin lubricant film during water vapor condensation on LIS. Coupling high-speed imaging, optical microscopy, and interferometry, we show that the initially uniform lubricant film re-distributes during condensation. Governed by lubricant height gradients, microdroplets as small as 2 $μ$m in diameter undergo rigorous and gravity-independent self-propulsion, travelling distances multiples of their diameters at velocities up to 1100 $μ$m/s. Although macroscopically the movement appears to be random, we show that on a microscopic level capillary attraction due to asymmetrical lubricant menisci causes this gravity-independent droplet motion. Based on a lateral force balance analysis, we quantitatively find that the sliding velocity initially increases during movement, but decreases sharply at shorter inter-droplet spacing. The maximum sliding velocity is inversely proportional to the oil viscosity and is strongly dependent of the droplet size, which is in excellent agreement with the experimental observations. This novel and non-traditional droplet movement is expected to significantly enhance the sweeping efficiency during dropwise condensation, leading to higher nucleation and heat transfer rates.

description: In the present work we investigate wormhole configurations described by a constant redshift function in Einstein-Cubic gravity ({\sf ECG}). We derive analytical wormhole geometries by assuming a particular equation of state ({\sf EoS}) and investigate the possibility that these solutions satisfy the standard energy conditions. We introduce exact asymptotically flat and anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes that admit traversable wormholes. These solutions are obtained by imposing suitable values for the parameters of the theory so that the resulted geometries satisfy the weak energy condition ({\sf WEC}) in the vicinity of the throat, due to the presence of higher-order curvature terms. Moreover, we find that AdS solutions satisfy the {\sf WEC} throughout the spacetime. A description of the geodesic motion of timelike and null particles is presented for the obtained wormhole solutions. Also, using gravitational lensing effects, observational features of the wormhole structure are discussed.

Duty of care applied to tailings operations

description: The ever increasing costs and risks associated with tailings facilities worldwide have led to the adoption of a Duty of Care in ensuring high standards of tailings operation. The Oil Sands industry stands to benefit from lessons learned elsewhere in the world in regard to the application of a Duty of Care to tailings operations. Palmiter (2006)1 suggests that in business, "the duty of care addresses the attentiveness and prudence of managers in performing their decision-making and supervisory functions." Aspects addressed by the authors based on their international and local tailings experience include definition of the Duty of Care; select examples of tailings dam failures for lessons learned; tailings management imperatives of risk, quality and cost; reducing operational costs; universal indicators of quality tailings operations; a checklist of key operational components, and implementation and the human dynamic.

description: Improving the functioning and the safety of the electrical grids is a topic of great concern, given its magnitude and importance in today's world. In this thesis, we focus in these two subjects. In the first part, we study undetectable cyber-physical attacks on power grids, which are attacks that involve physical disruptions, including tripping lines and load modifications, and sensor output alterations. We propose a sophisticated attack model described under the full Alternating Current (AC) power flow equations and show its feasibility on large grids from a test cases library. As counter-measures, we propose different defensive strategies that the network's controller can apply under a suspected cyber attack. These are random, simple and fast procedures that change the voltages across the network and aim to unmask the current status of the system, assuming that the attacker cannot react against their randomness. Secondly, with access to data collected through Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) by a power utility in the United States, we perform statistical analyses on the frequency and voltage time series that have been recorded at a rate of 30 Hz. We focus on intervals of time where the sampled data shows to be in steady-state conditions and, with the use of appropriate signal processing filters, we are able to extract hidden anomalies such as spatio-temporal correlations between sensors and harmonic distortions.

description: In quantum gravity, fields may lose quantum coherence by scattering off vacuum fluctuations in which virtual black hole pairs appear and disappear. Although it is not possible to properly compute the scattering off such fluctuations, we argue that one can get useful qualitative results, which provide a guide to the possible effects of such scattering, by considering a quantum field on the $C$ metric, which has the same topology as a virtual black hole pair. We study a scalar field on the Lorentzian $C$ metric background, with the scalar field in the analytically-continued Euclidean vacuum state. We find that there are a finite number of particles at infinity in this state, contrary to recent claims made by Yi. Thus, this state is not determined by data at infinity, and there is loss of quantum coherence in this semi-classical calculation.

description: We study the consequences of deterministic chaos for diffusion-controlled reaction. As an example, we analyze a diffusive-reactive deterministic multibaker and a parameter-dependent variation of it. We construct the diffusive and the reactive modes of the models as eigenstates of the Frobenius-Perron operator. The associated eigenvalues provide the dispersion relations of diffusion and reaction and, hence, they determine the reaction rate. For the simplest model we show explicitly that the reaction rate behaves as phenomenologically expected for one-dimensional diffusion-controlled reaction. Under parametric variation, we find that both the diffusion coefficient and the reaction rate have fractal-like dependences on the system parameter.

description: We report on two types of experiments with intrinsic Josephson systems made from layered superconductors which show clear evidence of nonequilibrium effects: 1. In 2-point measurements of IV-curves in the presence of high- frequency radiation a shift of the voltage of Shapiro steps from the canonical value hf/(2e) has been observed. 2. In the IV-curves of double-mesa structures an influence of the current through one mesa on the voltage measured on the other mesa is detected. Both effects can be explained by charge-imbalance on the superconducting layers produced by the quasi-particle current, and can be described successfully by a recently developed theory of nonequilibrium effects in intrinsic Josephson systems.

Security Policy Definition and Enforcement in Distributed Systems
Creators: Zhao, Hang
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Computer science

description: Security in computer systems is concerned with protecting resources from unauthorized access while ensuring legitimate requests can be satisfied all the time. The recent growth of computer systems both in scale and complexity poses tremendous management challenges. Policy-based systems management is a very promising solution in this scenario. It allows the separation of the rules that govern the behavior choices of a system from the provided functionality, and can be adapted to handle a large number of system elements. In the past two decades there have been many advances in the field of policy research. Although existing solutions in centralized systems are well-established, they do not work nearly as well in distributed environments because of scalability, network partitions, and the heterogeneity of the endpoints. This dissertation contributes to this endeavor by proposing three novel techniques to address the problem of security policy definition and enforcement in large-scale distributed systems. To correctly enforce service and security requirements from users who have no intimate knowledge of the underlying systems, we introduce the first distributed policy refinement solution that translates high-level policies into low-level implementable rules, for which the syntax and semantics can be fully interpreted by individual enforcement points. Taking advantage of both the centralized and end-to-end enforcement approaches, we propose a novel policy algebra framework for policy delegation, composition and analysis. As a concrete instantiation of policy delegation enabled by the algebraic framework, we invent a novel firewall system, called ROFL (routing as the firewall layer), that implements packet filtering using the underlying routing techniques. ROFL implements a form of ubiquitous enforcement, and is able to drop malicious packets closer to their origins to save transmission bandwidth and battery power, especially for resource-limited devices in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). The correctness and consistency of ROFL can be verified using policy algebra. It provides formalisms to address the complexity of distributed environments, increase assurance and show how to tune tradeoffs and improve security with ubiquitous enforcement. To demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of ROFL as a high-performance firewall mechanism, we analyze its performance quantitatively and conduct experiments in a simulated environment with two ad-hoc routing protocols. Empirical study shows that the increase in traffic for handling ROFL routing messages is more than outweighed by the savings by early drops of unwanted traffic.

description: It has been reported that airborne methyl jasmonate (MeJA) was metabolized into jasmonic acid (JA) and jasmonoyl isoleucine (JA-L-Ile). In this report, jasmonoyl valine (JA-L-Val), 12-hydroxy JA (12OHJA), and 12-glucosyloxy JA (12OGlcJA) were identified as metabolites originating from airborne MeJA using tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Furthermore, the preferable conversion of (-)-MeJA (natural form) into 12OHJA, 12OGlcJA, JA-L-Ile, and JA-L-Val was observed.

description: Machine learning (ML) is transforming a wide range of applications, promising to bring immense economic and social benefits. However, it also raises substantial security, privacy, and transparency challenges. ML workloads indeed push companies toward aggressive data collection and loose data access policies, placing troves of sensitive user information at risk if the company is hacked. ML also introduces new attack vectors, such as adversarial example attacks, which can completely nullify models’ accuracy under attack. Finally, ML models make complex data-driven decisions, which are opaque to the end-users, and difficult to inspect for programmers. In this dissertation we describe three systems we developed. Each system addresses a dimension of the previous challenges, by combining new practical systems techniques with rigorous theory to achieve a guaranteed level of protection, and make systems easier to understand. First we present Sage, a differentially private ML platform that enforces a meaningful protection semantic for the troves of personal information amassed by today’s companies. Second we describe PixelDP, a defense against adversarial examples that leverages differential privacy theory to provide a guaranteed level of accuracy under attack. Third we introduce Sunlight, a tool to enhance the transparency of opaque targeting services, using rigorous causal inference theory to explain targeting decisions to end-users.

description: It is argued that D=10 type II strings and M-theory in D=11 have D-5 branes and 9-branes that are not standard p-branes coupled to anti-symmetric tensors. The global charges in a D-dimensional theory of gravity consist of a momentum $P_M$ and a dual D-5 form charge $K_{M_1...M_{D-5}}$, which is related to the NUT charge. On dimensional reduction, P gives the electric charge and K the magnetic charge of the graviphoton. The charge K is constructed and shown to occur in the superalgebra and BPS bounds in $D\ge 5$, and leads to a NUT-charge modification of the BPS bound in D=4. $K$ is carried by Kaluza-Klein monopoles, which can be regarded as D-5 branes. Supersymmetry and U-duality imply that the type IIB theory has (p,q) 9-branes. Orientifolding with 32 (0,1) 9-branes gives the type I string, while modding out by a related discrete symmetry with 32 (1,0) 9-branes gives the SO(32) heterotic string. Symmetry enhancement, the effective world-volume theories and the possibility of a twelve dimensional origin are discussed.

description: In questo articolo vengono analizzate due trasposizioni contemporanee di Madame Bovary: Gemma Bovery, il romanzo grafico di Posy Simmonds (1999) e il suo adattamento cinematografico di Anne Fontaine (2014). Ci si interroga sul ruolo dell’originale e, più in generale, della letteratura patrimoniale nelle due storie. In un dispositivo che esibisce il riferimento e fa della precedenza e della fama del romanzo flaubertiano la condizione della sua stessa esistenza, i due adattamenti propongono, ciascuno per il proprio medium, una riflessione sul ruolo e sulla funzione del modello.

description: Der Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über die Möglichkeiten elektronischer Publikationsformen und will ausdrücklich ermutigen, die Möglichkeiten elektronischer Veröffentlichungen zu nutzen. Im Mittelpunkt der Darstellung stehen die elektronischen Zeitschriften. Zunächst stellt sich die Frage nach der Definition von eJournals: Es handelt sich um Zeitschriften, deren Artikel [sämtlich] im Volltext online verfügbar sind. Wie viele mag es überhaupt geben? 35.000? 50.000? Diese Frage ist kaum zu beantworten, da die Anzahl sich ständig ändert. Dies kann an der Anzahl der elektronischen Zeitschriften der Universitätsbibliothek Braunschweig verdeutlicht werden: waren es 2004 noch 10.000, so stieg die Anzahl über 35.000 im Jahr 2008 auf 40.500 in den Jahren 2009/2010 an. Wie bei gedruckten Zeitschriften gibt es auch bei E-Zeitschriften große Unterschiede bei Preis, Qualität, Reputation und Lebensdauer.

description: Das Auftragen kosmetischer bzw. medizinischer Formulierungen auf die Haut ist eine der Maßnahmen zur Verhinderung und zur Behandlung von Lichtschäden. Der Einsatz von Mischungen UV-absorbierender, -reflektierender, -streuender Substanzen in Formulierungen wie Cremes, Salben und Emulsionen ist bewährte Praxis zur Prophylaxe, während in der sogenannten Photodynamischen Therapie von Lichtschäden ähnliche Formulierungen zum Einsatz kommen, die mit hochaktiven Wirkstoffen wie 5-Aminolävulinsäure oder speziellen Porphyrinen als Photosensibilisatoren beladen sind. Der Vortrag beinhaltet Beispiele für Neuentwicklungen von Formulierungen sowohl für die Prophylaxe als auch für die Therapie von UV-bedingten Lichtschäden.

LAMINATION SCHEME AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS EFFECTS ON THE FREE VIBRATION OF LAMINATED COMPOSITE BEAMS

Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering

description: In this study, the effects of both lamination scheme and boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of free vibration of laminated composite beams were investigated. The problem is analyzed and solved using the energy approach which is formulated by a finite element model. Lamination schemes for symmetric and non-symmetric laminated beams were studied. Six boundary conditions are considered; clamped _free (CF), hinged _hinged (HH), clamped _clamped (CC), hinged _clamped (HC), hinged _free (HF), free _free (FF). Each beam has either movable ends or immovable ends. It is found that both symmetrically and anti-symmetrically laminated beams of similar size and end conditions have equal natural frequencies which, generally, decrease as the angle of orientation increases. Also, It is found that the more constrained beams have the higher values of natural frequencies of transverse vibration. However, the free-free and hinged-free beams are found to have the highest frequencies of transverse vibration amongst all beams although they look less constrained. This behavior is due to the fact that the first mode of the two beams is equal zero (rigid body motion), and replaced by the second mode to be the fundamental mode. The values of the natural frequencies of longitudinal modes are found to be the same for all beams with movable ends since they are generated by longitudinal movements only. But for immovable ends, the clamped-free and hinged-free beams have equal frequencies in longitudinal vibration, and those of the other beams are also the same.
(Global and Local) Fluctuations of Phase Space Contraction in Deterministic Stationary Non-equilibrium

description: We studied numerically the validity of the fluctuation theorem, introduced by Evans,Cohen and Morris and proved by Gallavotti and Cohen, for a 2-dimensional system of particles maintained in a steady shear flow by Maxwell daemon boundary conditions (see Chernov and Lebowitz). The theorem was found to hold if one considers the total phase space contraction $σ$ occuring at collisions with both walls: $σ=σ^\su+σ^\giu$. An attempt to extend it to more local quantities $σ^\su$ and $σ^\giu$, corresponding to the collisions with the top or bottom wall only, gave negative results. The time decay of the correlations in $σ^{\su,\giu}$ was very slow compared to that of $σ$.

description: Das Digitale Fernsehen ist in vielen Teilen der Welt bereits eingeführt. In Europa und vielen anderen Teilen der Welt sind es die Standards der DVB-Familie, die sowohl im Kabel als auch terrestrisch und per Satellit zur Ausstrahlung von Fernseh-, Hörfunk- und Datenrundfunkprogrammen genutzt werden. Die Standards der DVB-Familie werden von einem 1993 gegründeten Industriekonsortium entwickelt, das den Namen "DVB-Projekt" trägt und derzeit etwa 250 Unternehmen und Forschungsinstitute aus aller Welt zu seinen Mitgliedern zählt. Auch für die Versorgung von Taschenempfängern – insbesondere entsprechend ausgerüsteten Mobilfunktelefonen – gibt es geeignete DVB-Lösungen. Die technische Basis aller dieser Standards stammt aus den frühen 1990er Jahren. Seither ist einerseits die Kenntnis über die Leistungsmerkmale und Grenzen der Übertragungssysteme für Digitalsignale erheblich gewachsen und andererseits ist es möglich geworden, hochkomplexe Algorithmen in Hard- Firm- und Software zu realisieren, die zu Beginn der Entwicklung des Digitalfernsehens als nicht wirtschaftlich implementierbar galten. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Entwicklungen entstanden und entstehen Systeme der zweiten Generation für das Digitalfernsehen, die in ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit wesentlich über das hinaus gehen, was bisher weltweit in Betrieb genommen wurde. Über diese Weiterentwicklungen berichtet der vorliegende Beitrag.
