Documentary Methods in Music Theater as a Potential Playground for Artistic Research
Creators: name: Dick, Leopold
Year: 2022
Subjects: artistic research
music theatre
contemporary music

description: In the form of a workshop report, I would like to present the significant increase in the importance of documentary procedures for music theater in recent years and discuss the extent to which this trend raises questions that lend themselves to treatment with methods of artistic research. Starting point are observations from my teaching practice with young music theater makers in the last two years: Our group of students has become markedly more international during this time. As a result, aspects of ‘culture clash’ respectively ‘cultural fusion’ have come to the fore in collaborative projects. For the artistic negotiation of such phenomena of a globalized present, documentary material is increasingly employed. Using the example of a current student project, I will sketch how contemporary music theater practice and artistic research could be linked. In essence, I am interested in discussing the following question: What are the specific possibilities and limits of contemporary music theater to authenticate a social status quo, and what methods can be used to systematically explore and represent them?

description: Wirkmodelle werden im Kontext theoriebasierter Evaluationsansätze ein immer häufiger verwendetes Instrument. Viele Fragen in Bezug auf das angemessene Vorgehen bei der Entwicklung und Verwendung von Wirkmodellen bleiben allerdings oft unbeantwortet, nicht zuletzt, da konkrete Fallbeispiele selten genau genug dokumentiert werden. Nach einem kurzen Überblick zur Rolle von Wirkmodellen in der aktuellen Evaluationsliteratur beschreibt der Beitrag am Beispiel des schweizerischen Programms ‚Jugend und Sport‘ ausführlich die Entwicklung eines Wirkmodells, die gleichzeitig literaturbasiert und unter Einbeziehung wichtiger Stakeholdergruppen erfolgte. Erfahrungen werden aus den Perspektiven Auftraggebende, Modellentwicklung und Evaluationstheorie reflektiert. Dabei werden drei häufig genannte Herausforderungen thematisiert: Machen Wirkmodelle blind für nicht intendierte Wirkungen? Sollten Wirkmodelle die Sichtweise von Stakeholdern abbilden oder sich an etablierten wissenschaftlichen Theorien orientieren? Ist der Aufwand für die Entwicklung eines Wirkmodells gerechtfertigt?

description: Wie in zahlreichen Wissenschafts- und Kunstformaten stellt der Vergleich auch in der essayistischen Praxis Harun Farockis ein zentrales epistemisches Werkzeug dar. Ein Blick auf die Beschaffenheit der aus einem Vergleich hervorgehenden Erkenntnisse mag ein neues Licht auf den Essay als Form werfen. Während die von Adorno mit dem Essay in Verbindung gebrachte Poetik der Konstellation Erkenntnisse durch Spekulation und Witz (ingenium) macht und damit stets eine prekäre Form des Wissens generiert, emanzipiert sich Farockis künstlerische Praxis im Laufe der Jahrzehnte von der Notwendigkeit der Abstraktion. Anstatt vergleichend Erkenntnisse darzustellen, stellt sie schließlich das Vergleichen selbst dar. In Farockis Praxis spiegelt sich somit die für den Essay konstitutive Spannung zwischen einem Begehren nach Verallgemeinerung und der Einsicht in deren Unmöglichkeit.

description: The ongoing miniaturisation of thin films, coatings, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) components and devices demands for new characterising tools and methods. Conventional mechanical tests cannot be readily applied to small scales, first because one can expect new mechanical properties of such small-scale materials and second because minuscule samples are difficult to handle in conventional mechanical experiments such as tensile tests. Here we present a new method for determining the mechanical properties of LIGA (German acronym for ‘Lithographie, Galvanoformung und Abformung’) processed MEMS, mechanical watch parts and devices. The method is based on a reverse analysis of load-displacement data obtained from nanoindentation experiments that can be performed on micrometer sized volumes. To validate the method for typical applications in microengineering, a comparison of microtensile and nanoindentation tests is presented in this paper. The comparison of microtensile and nanoindentation tests showed that the elastic modulus obtained in nanoindentation for all tested materials was systematically about 15% higher than the values obtained in tensile testing, which can be attributed to the different size and microstructural levels that are probed. The numerical simulation of the nanoindentation tests allowed to estimate the true stress–true strain relationship up to strain levels of 30%, whereas in microtensile experiments the rheology of the tested materials can be determined to 5% only.

Easy Columnar File Conversion with 'hepconvert'
Creators: name: Bilodeau, Zoë
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Though columnar file formats are popular among HEP users, the process to convert between file formats has multiple steps, and generally requires the use of one I/O package per file format. Often users need to customize the process as well, either due to memory constraints or to modify the data before writing it to a new file. This entails both more lines of code and experience with I/O packages, and in some cases knowledge about each data format.To streamline this process and save user’s time, we are developing the Python package ‘hepconvert.’ This package aims to simplify columnar file conversions and common customizations down to single function between file formats Parquet, ROOT, and HDF5 files. It uses pre-existing functions from reputable columnar I/O packages such as Uproot, Awkward Array, and h5py, with additional builtin features for common customizations. The customizations are added at user request and include automatic reading and writing in batches, compression setting, branch skimming and slimming, histogram summing, and more. In addition to making the features in hepconvert, we are also adding relevant functionality to Uproot that will eventually be included in hepconvert; adding new TBranches to existing TTrees.

Parus (Poecila) obtectus Cabanis, 1871b: 237.
Now: Parus cinctus cinctus Boddaert, 1783. See Hartert (1905: 366).
Type series: Cabanis (1871b: 237–238) did not specify how many specimens of this tit he examined, but exhibited “einige ... Bälge” (“several ... skins”) when he presented the description of this species at the 34th Monthly Meeting of the German Ornithological Society held on 1 May 1871. The two specimens listed below qualify as syntypes of P. obtectus, while other ZMB specimens were received too late to be types of the species. Unfortunately, both syntypes of Parus obtectus (see below) and most of the other specimens from the Dybowski series (ZMB 23011, ZMB 23147, and ZMB 23148) have been lost. The only surviving specimen, an unsexed mount (B.8533, ZMB 23010), was collected by Dybowski on 13 October 1870 NS at "Baikalsee", i.e. at Kultuk (see below). It has thus been collected at the same time and at the same place as both syntypes, but was received at the ZMB in September 1871 (according to the Accession Catalogue of the ZMB), i.e. after the species was described by Cabanis (1871b).
Taczanowski (1889: 12) listed another three specimens deposited in the MIZ as types of this species, two of which (MIZ 7991, MIZ 8018) are still there (Mlíkovský 2007a: 62). There is, however, no proof that Cabanis examined them, and their syntypical status is thus doubtful.
Syntype (lost): ZMB 20047 (B.7939), mounted, ♂, collected by B. Dybowski in October 1870 at Kultuk. Received at the ZMB in January 1871 according to the Accession Catalogue of the ZMB, where the specimen was marked as “Ex. orig.”.
Syntype (lost): ZMB 20048 (B.7939), mounted, ♀, collected by B. Dybowski in October 1870 at Kultuk. Received at the ZMB in January 1871 according to the Accession Catalogue of the ZMB, where the specimen was marked as “Ex. orig.”.
Type locality: Cabanis (1871b: 237) stated that Dybowski collected type specimens “in Sibirien südlich vom Baikalsee”, i.e. “in Siberia south of Lake Baikal” (see also Hartert 1905: 366). Voinstvenskij (1954: 767) inaccurately listed “ûžn. Zabajkal’e”, i.e. “southern Transbaikalia” as the type locality of P. obtectus. Entries in the Accession Catalogue of the ZMB indicate that all specimens received from Taczanowski in January 1871 originated from Kultuk, where Dybowski resided from January 1869 (Mlíkovský 2007a). We thus restrict here the type locality of P. o b t e c t u s to Kultuk, Irkutskaâ Province, Russia [51.72˚N, 103.68˚E].

Stotzia

description: Genus STOTZIA Marchal
Stotzia Marchal, 1906: 143. Type species: Stotzia striata Marchal by monotypy = Lichtensia ephedrae Newstead.
Diagnostic characters of the adult female: Live adult female elongate oval and highly convex; ovisac pure white with longitudinal striations, composed of woolly or granular material, entirely covering dorsum. Slide-mounted body oval, but dorsal surface much larger than venter. Stigmatic clefts not developed; stigmatic setae almost undifferentiated from marginal setae, although usually with 1 or 2 rather longer and stouter setae in each stigmatic area. Marginal setae spinose, with parallel sides, blunt apices and with rather narrow basal sockets; each side with 25–36 setae between anterior and posterior stigmatic areas. Dorsal tubular ducts numerous, evenly distributed throughout. Preopercular pores absent. Anal cleft fairly short. Anal ring normal, bearing 8 (occasionally 10) setae. Venter with 3 or more pairs of long setae on last 3 abdominal segments anterior to anogenital fold.
Comments: Worldwide, four species are included in Stotzia at present (García Morales et al. 2016); only S. ephedrae (Newstead) is known from Iran (Bodenheimer 1944b).

description: Polymer composite coatings lend themselves to a multitude of advanced engineeringapplications. From catalysis and biosensors to battery separation membranes and nanofiltrationdevices for wastewater treatment, polymer films offer numerous benefits for these types ofapplication. The ability to generate porous high surface area-to-volume, light weight, yetmechanically robust films has traditionally been limited to phase inversion for free standing filmsand roll-to-roll techniques for supported films. These methods are often reproducible and low costbut are mostly limited to 2D planar surfaces. In this work, electrospray deposition (ESD) is usedto fabricate porous polymer composite films with tunable microstructures and mechanicalproperties across a broad range of deformation regimes and strain rates. The structure of this reviewis as follows: (1) A review of ESD and self-limiting electrospray deposition (SLED) is provided.(2) Experimental parameters and materials used in each chapter are defined. (3) Self-limitingability of co-polymer compositions are evaluated and characterized mechanically, and limitationsare discussed. (4) Various mechanical models are explored, and the structure-propertyrelationships across various strain rates are analyzed using quartz crystal microbalance withdissipation (QCM-D). (5) ESD of polyimide (PI) is conducted to fabricate Li-ion battery (LIB)separators in coin-cell batteries, and their electrochemical performance are evaluated (6)Enhancements to the tunability of SLED films are explored including (a) addition of ionic chargecarriers to obtain nanoparticles and (b) co-solvent blending to control film thickness and porosity.(7) Finally, this work concludes with the assessment of relevant applications to solid state batteries(SSBs) and an outlook for future research.
title: Measuring quality of unsupervised learning

Year: 2024

description: Es ist trotz bereits entsprechender existierende Evaluationsmetriken eine große Herausforderung, die Qualität eines Clusterings zu bestimmen, welches dichtebasierte Cluster enthält. Dies lässt sich auf individuelle Schwächen in der Konstruktion der bereits existierenden Maße, als auch auf die inhärente Komplexität der Thematik zurückführen. In dieser Arbeit zerlegen wir drei bestehende dichtebasierte Metriken in ihre wesentlichen Bestandteile und überführen diese in ein vereinheitlichtes Framework, welches intuitive Vergleiche zulässt. Diese Metriken werden gemeinsam mit dem kürzlich entwickelten "Density-based Internal Evaluation Score for Clustering Outcomes" (DISCO) in einer Reihe von Experimenten ausführlich getestet. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dienen dazu, eine Sammlung von "real-world", dichtebasierten Datensätzen zu identifizieren, welche in dieser Form bisher nicht existiert, jedoch erheblich für die Weiterentwicklung und Verbesserung dichtebasierter Clustering-Methoden ist. Weiters zeigen wir, dass eine Dimensionalitätsreduktion mittels UMAP unvorhersehbare Auswirkungen auf die strukturellen Eigenschaften dieser Datensätze haben kann. Darüber hinaus erstellen wir einen Medium-Blogpost, der DISCO anhand praktischer Beispiele und intuitiver Erklärungen vorstellt, um es einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich zu machen.
description: Despite the existence of appropriate evaluation metrics, it remains a significant challenge to assess the quality of a clustering that contains density-based clusters. This can be attributed to both individual weaknesses in the design of existing measures as well as the inherent complexity of the subject. In this work, we break down three existing density-based metrics into their core components and integrate them into a unified framework that allows for intuitive comparisons. These metrics, along with the recently developed Density-based Internal Evaluation Score for Clustering Outcomes (DISCO), are thoroughly tested in a series of experiments. The insights gained from these experiments are used to identify a collection of real-world, density-based datasets, which does not yet exist in this form but is crucial for advancing and improving density-based clustering methods. Furthermore, we show that dimensionality reduction using UMAP can have unpredictable effects on the structural properties of these datasets. Additionally, we create a Medium blog post that introduces DISCO with practical examples and intuitive explanations, making it accessible to a broader audience.

description: Taxonomy of Neolasioptera
Neolasioptera is the largest genus of the tribe Alycaulini. Its species are primary gall makers and have adults with 3- or 4-segmented palpi and fully fused, unlobed female cerci, pupae with a non-brittle exoskeleton, and larvae with the spatula (the characteristic dermal thoracic structure of most cecidomyiids) usually well-developed (with four exceptions), 3 or 4 lateral papillae on each side of the spatula and usually 6–8 papillae (two species with 4) on the terminal segment, which is convex and unlobed (Gagné 1994). Many Neolasioptera species have an associated, presumably symbiotic fungus, but the tunnels of the new species show no sign of fungal hyphae or its excrescence.

description: Family CRYPTOCOCCIDAE Kosztarab
Historically, the two genera discussed here under the family Cryptococcidae have sometimes been placed within the Eriococcidae sensu lato (e.g. Tang & Hao 1995; Miller & Stocks 2022). The uncertain higher classification around the Eriococcidae is discussed further under that family below. Molecular evidence using 18S places the Cryptococcidae in the Gondwanan clade of Eriococcidae (Cook & Gullan 2004; Gwiazdowski et al. 2006; Nan et al. 2013). However, the higher classification of the family-groups related to Eriococcidae is still uncertain, so the Cryptococcidae is treated separately here for convenience.
The Cryptococcidae contains two genera and eight described species worldwide (García Morales et al. 2016); in Iran, two species in separate genera are known.
Appearance in life: Adult female living in bark crevices on trees; each insect is covered with a feltlike ovisac formed of fine, white, waxy secretions.
Diagnostic characters: Body of adult female oval (Fig. 45), derm becoming sclerotized at full maturity in most species (but not in Cryptococcus fagisuga); antennae (Fig. 45A) each with 1–6 segments; legs (Fig. 45B) present / reduced to unsegmented stubs / entirely absent; spiracles (Fig. 45C) each surrounded by a sclerotized frame containing a group of associated quinquelocular disc-pores; a cluster pore plate present or absent from just below each posterior spiracle (Fig. 45B); simple disc-pores usually present on dorsal submargin; trilocular pores (Fig. 45D) normally present on dorsum; quinquelocular disc-pores (Fig. 45E) often present on both surfaces, occasionally scattered near spiracles; tubular ducts (Fig. 45F) present on both surfaces, often of two types; anal ring (Fig. 45G) surrounded by large setae, the ring heavily sclerotized, bearing 4–6 short setae and with or without pores.

description: Das Freiberger Pferd hat wie viele andere vergleichbare lokale, ursprüngliche europäische Pferderassen mit rückläufigen Bestandes- und Geburtenzahlen sowie einer fehlenden Rentabilität auf Stufe Produktion zu kämpfen. Agroscope, Schweizer Nationalgestüt SNG, untersuchte im Zuge der Erarbeitung eines Strategierapportes zur Erhaltung der Freibergerrasse die Marktkonformität des Freibergerpferdes (FM: franches-montagnes) mittels einer Umfrage bei Pferdeeigentümern sowie ergänzenden Experteninterviews. Die Ergebnisse lassen den Schluss zu, dass bei einer Mehrheit der befragten Pferdeeigentümer die persönlichen Erwartungen an ein Pferd mit der Beurteilung der Qualitäten und der generellen Wahrnehmung des Freibergerpferdes deckungsgleich sind. Daraus lässt sich ableiten, dass der FM über Qualitäten verfügt, die im Grundsatz im Freizeitpferdemarkt nachgefragt werden (einfacher Charakter, Polyvalenz, Robustheit, Gesundheit). Das Image des Markenbildes FM ist bei den nicht FM-Besitzern deutlich weniger positiv als bei den FM-Besitzern. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage sowie der Experteninterviews zeigten, dass vor allem Anstrengungen zur Verbesserung der Vermarktung und des Images notwendig sind, um einen besseren Absatz von Freibergerpferden zu gewährleisten und damit auch langfristig einen Anstieg der Geburten zu erreichen.
