Our Everyday: The Intangible Yet Tangible Tensions Between Commonality, Contrast, and Co-operation within Design Education.

description: As with commoning, the principles of equality, cooperation, and self-determination are central to the cultivation of inclusion and equity within Te Kura Hoahoa, The School of Design Innovation, Victoria University of Wellington, Te Herenga Waka, in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Importantly and specific to our School, we are guided by Te Tiriti o Waitangi, [The Treaty of Waitangi] in which our responsibilities to Māori as a principal partner in that Treaty, are not to blend each by cooperation into common-ness but to acknowledge each as distinctive and equal entities. Embracing this mahi [mission], this research asserts that understandings of people, place, and space, offered from within Māori ways of being, have much to offer our attempts to shift design from the outmoded Euro-Anglo-American paradigms and hierarchies still modelled within the discipline, to one where we embrace more than co-operation and equity, but the intangible yet tangible tensions of commonality and contrast. Our proposal is that the guiding principles of equality, cooperation, and self-determination highlighted within commoning, and The School of Design Innovation, are better articulated when rooted in tikanga values [Māori values and protocols]. We suggest that akoranga, the fluidity and longevity of reciprocity, whanaungatanga, authentic connections, manaakitanga, the care we offer, and encapsulates not only what is known but acknowledges the experiences and history of how it is known, and kaitiakitanga, active rather than passive guardianship and confers responsibilities, not rights ‘to’ people and place as those values. These understandings, we assert, are central to any shifts design pedagogy or praxis takes to move from the central creed of universality, historically used to join us all as one, until now. This paper focuses on Te Ao Māori, the Māori worldview, and a supporting Pasifika ideology, Ta-Vā. Both speak to the acknowledgement and negotiation of relationships through connectivity of people, place, space, and time. We argue that the values upheld in design and within commoning, of power sharing, equality, cooperation, and self-determination are best enabled when deeply rooted in shared values, tikanga Māori. We hope to illustrate akoranga, whanaungatanga, manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga as facilitators of rangatiratanga [self-determination], in our use of them our guides.
On the 2D behavior of 3D MHD with a strong guiding field
Creators: name: Alexakis, Alexandros
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations in the presence of a guiding magnetic field are investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. The basis of the investigation consists of 9 runs forced at the small scales. The results demonstrate that for a large enough uniform magnetic field the large scale flow behaves as a two dimensional (non-MHD) fluid exhibiting an inverse cascade of energy in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field, while the small scales behave like a three dimensional MHD-fluid cascading the energy forwards. The amplitude of the inverse cascade is sensitive to the magnetic field amplitude, the domain size, the forcing mechanism, and the forcing scale. All these dependencies are demonstrated by the varying parameters of simulations. Furthermore, in the case that the system is forced anisotropically in the small parallel scales an inverse cascade in the parallel direction is observed that is feeding the 2D modes.

Recent Observations of Supernova Remnants with VERITAS

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Supernova remnants (SNRs) are widely considered the most likely source of cosmic rays below the knee ($10^{15}$ eV). Studies of GeV and TeV gamma-ray emission in the vicinity of SNRs, in combination with multi-wavelength observations, can trace and constrain the nature of the charged particle population believed to be accelerated within SNR shocks. They may also speak to the diffusion and propagation of these energetic particles and to the nature of the acceleration mechanisms involved. We report here on recent observations of SNRs with VERITAS, including the discoveries of VHE gamma-ray emission from from G120.1+1.4 (Tycho's SNR) and from the northwest shell of G78.2+2.1 (gamma-ray source VER J2019+407, which was discovered as a consequence of the VERITAS Cygnus region survey).

description: We study the existence of absolutely maximally entangled (AME) states in quantum mechanics and its applications to quantum information. AME states are characterized by being maximally entangled for all bipartitions of the system and exhibit genuine multipartite entanglement. With such states, we present a novel parallel teleportation protocol which teleports multiple quantum states between groups of senders and receivers. The notable features of this protocol are that (i) the partition into senders and receivers can be chosen after the state has been distributed, and (ii) one group has to perform joint quantum operations while the parties of the other group only have to act locally on their system. We also prove the equivalence between pure state quantum secret sharing schemes and AME states with an even number of parties. This equivalence implies the existence of AME states for an arbitrary number of parties based on known results about the existence of quantum secret sharing schemes.

Discovery of black hole spindown in the BATSE catalogue of long GRBs

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The BATSE catalogue is searched for evidence of spindown of black holes or proto-neutron stars (PNS) by extracting normalized light curves (nLC). The nLC are obtained by matched filtering, to suppress intermediate time scales such as due to the shock break-out of GRB jets through a remnant stellar envelope. We find consistency within a few percent of the nLC and the model template for spindown of an initially extremal black hole against high-density matter at the ISCO. The large BATSE size enables a study of the nLC as a function of durations $T_{90}$. The resulting $χ^2_{red}$ is within a $2.35σ$ confidence interval for durations $T_{90}>20$ s, which compares favorably with the alternative of spindown against matter further out and spindown of a PNS, whose $χ^2$ fits are, respectively, outside the 4$σ$ and 12$σ$ confidence intervals. We attribute spindown against matter at the ISCO to cooling by gravitational-wave emission from non-axisymmetric instabilities in the inner disk or torus as the result of a Hopf bifurcation in response to energetic input from the central black hole. This identification gives an attractive outlook for chirps in quasi-periodic gravitational waves lasting tens of seconds of interest to LIGO, Virgo and the LCGT.

description: Multiplexers based on the modulation of superconducting quantum interference devices are now regularly used in multi-kilopixel arrays of superconducting detectors for astrophysics, cosmology, and materials analysis. Over the next decade, much larger arrays will be needed. These larger arrays require new modulation techniques and compact multiplexer elements that fit within each pixel. We present a new in-focal-plane code-division multiplexer that provides multiplexing elements with the required scalability. This code-division multiplexer uses compact lithographic modulation elements that simultaneously multiplex both signal outputs and superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) detector bias voltages. It eliminates the shunt resistor used to voltage bias TES detectors, greatly reduces power dissipation, allows different dc bias voltages for each TES, and makes all elements sufficiently compact to fit inside the detector pixel area. These in-focal-plane code-division multiplexers can be combined with multi-gigahertz readout based on superconducting microresonators to scale to even larger arrays.

description: High rate sampling detectors measuring the potential difference between the main body and boom antennas of interplanetary spacecraft have been shown to be efficient means to measure the voltage pulses induced by nano dust impacts on the spacecraft body itself (see Meyer-Vernet et al, Solar Phys. 256, 463 (2009)). However, rough estimates of the free charge liberated in post impact expanding plasma cloud indicate that the cloud's own internal electrostatic field is too weak to account for measured pulses as the ones from the TDS instrument on the STEREO spacecraft frequently exceeding 0.1 V/m. In this paper we argue that the detected pulses are not a direct measure of the potential structure of the plasma cloud, but are rather the consequence of a transitional interruption of the photoelectron return current towards the portion of the antenna located within the expanding cloud.

description: We demonstrate the approach towards a Gibbs-like equilibrium state, with a common temperature and a chemical potential, of two finite metallic grains, prepared with a different number of noninteracting electrons, connected by a weak link that is susceptible to incoherent and inelastic processes. By developing an analytic method and by using an exact numerical approach, the quantum time evolution of the electrons in the metallic grains is followed. In the absence of decoherring and inelastic effects, equilibration is never reached. Introducing dephasing effects on the link only, using a dephasing probe, the two quantum systems equilibrate, but do not evolve towards a Gibbs-like state. In contrast, by mimicking inelastic interactions with a voltage probe, the metal pieces evolve towards a common Gibbs-like equilibrium state, with the probe.

description: The oscillation spectrum of a one-dimensional vertical dust string formed inside a glass box on top of the lower electrode in a GEC reference cell was studied. A mechanism for creating a single vertical dust string is described. It is shown that the oscillation amplitudes, resonance frequencies, damping coefficients, and oscillation phases of the dust particles separate into two distinct groups. One group exhibits low damping coefficients, increasing amplitudes and decreasing resonance frequencies for dust particles closer to the lower electrode. The other group shows high damping coefficients but anomalous resonance frequencies and amplitudes. At low oscillation frequencies, the two groups are also separated by a π-phase difference. One possible cause for the difference in behavior between the two groups is discussed.

description: Inelastic neutron scattering is employed to study the reciprocal-space structure and dispersion of magnetic excitations in the normal and superconducting states of single-crystalline Rb0.8Fe1.6Se2. We show that the recently discovered magnetic resonant mode in this compound has a quasi-two-dimensional character, similar to overdoped iron-pnictide superconductors. Moreover, it has a rich in-plane structure that is dominated by four elliptical peaks, symmetrically surrounding the Brillouin zone corner, without sqrt(5) x sqrt(5) reconstruction. We also present evidence for the dispersion of the resonance peak, as its position in momentum space depends on energy. Comparison of our findings with the results of band structure calculations provides strong support for the itinerant origin of the observed signal. It can be traced back to the nesting of electron-like Fermi pockets in the doped metallic phase of the sample in the absence of iron-vacancy ordering.

description: Bolometers are phonon mediated detectors used in particle physics experiments to search for rare processes, such as neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter interactions. They feature an excellent energy resolution, which is a few keV over an energy range extending from a few keV up to several MeV. Nevertheless the resolution can be limited by the noise induced by vibrations of the mechanical apparatus. In arrays of bolometers part of this noise is correlated among different detectors and can be removed using a multichannel decorrelation algorithm. In this paper we present a decorrelation method and its application to data from the CUORICINO experiment, an array of 62 TeO2 bolometers.

description: Astronomical instruments generally possess spatially variant point-spread functions, which determine the amount by which an image pixel is blurred as a function of position. Several techniques have been devised to handle this variability in the context of the standard image deconvolution problem. We have developed an iterative gravitational lens modeling code called Mirage that determines the parameters of pixelated source intensity distributions for a given lens model. We are able to include the effects of spatially variant point-spread functions using the iterative procedures in this lensing code. In this paper, we discuss the methods to include spatially variant blurring effects and test the results of the algorithm in the context of gravitational lens modeling problems.

description: The CoGeNT collaboration has reported evidence of an annual modulation in its first fifteen months of data. Here we compare the amplitude and phase of this signal to the modulation observed by the DAMA collaboration, assuming that both arise due to elastically scattering dark matter (DM). We directly map the CoGeNT signal to the DAMA detector without specifying any astrophysical parameters and compare this with the signal measured by DAMA. We also compare with constraints from CDMS II and XENON10. We find that DM of mass 5-14 GeV that couples equally to protons and neutrons is strongly disfavoured. Isospin-violating DM fares better but requires a boosted modulation fraction.

description: We study whether the nonmonotonic behavior found in the differential cross section of the phi-meson photoproduction near threshold can be described by a resonance. The resonant contribution is evaluated by using an effective Lagrangian approach. We find that, with the assumption of a J^P=3/2^- resonance with mass of 2.10 \pm 0.03 GeV and width of 0.465 \pm 0.141 GeV, LEPS data can indeed be well described. The ratio of the helicity amplitudes A_1/2/A_3/2 calculated from the resulting coupling constants differs in sign from that of the known D13(2080). We further find that the addition of this postulated resonance can substantially improve the agreement between the existing theoretical predictions and the recent omega photoproduction data if a large value of the OZI evading parameter x_OZI = 12 is assumed for the resonance.

description: Although experimentally accessible energies can not probe `asymptopia', recent measurements of` inelastic $pp$ cross sections at the LHC at 7000 GeV and by Auger at 57000 GeV allow us to conclude that: i) both $\sigin$ and $\sigtot$, the inelastic and total cross sections for $pp$ and $\bar p p$ interactions, saturate the Froissart bound of $\ln^2 s$, ii) when $s\rightarrow \infty$, the ratio $\sigin/\sigtot$ is experimentally determined to be $0.509\pm 0.021$, consistent with the value 0.5 required by black disk at infinite energies, and iii) when $s\rightarrow \infty$, the forward scattering amplitude becomes purely imaginary, another requirement for the proton to become a totally absorbing black disk. Experimental verification of the hypotheses of analyticity and unitarity over the center of mass energy range $6\le \sqrt s\le 57000$ GeV are discussed. In QCD, the black disk is naturally made of gluons; our results suggest that the lowest-lying glueball mass is $2.97\pm 0.03$ GeV.

description: We outline the scientific motivation behind a search for gravitational waves associated with short gamma ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) during LIGO's fifth science run and Virgo's first science run. The IPN localisation of short gamma ray bursts is limited to extended error boxes of different shapes and sizes and a search on these error boxes poses a series of challenges for data analysis. We will discuss these challenges and outline the methods to optimise the search over these error boxes.

On the Aesthetics of the Anthropocene: The Sublime and beyond – other Concepts and Forms of Visualizations
Creators: name: Borsari, Andrea
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2023

description: There are many connections that link the aesthetic sphere to the set of phenomena that are encompassed by the general definition of “Anthropocene”. Among them, there are two that are explored in this contribution. On the one hand, it is a matter of getting to the bottom of the relationship between the conceptual heritage of the aesthetic-philosophical tradition and its metaphorical variants with the thematic core of the Anthropocene. On the other hand, it is a matter of ascertaining how this process intertwines and interferes with the forms of visualization of the “human epoch” and thereby conditions the possible reactions that descend from such representations. Finally, to conclude with a tentative assessment of the possibilities of countervisualization and lines of research within the conceptual field of aesthetics for a different rendering of relations with phenomena linked to the notion of the Anthropocene.

description: We review recent results on new physical models constructed as PT-symmetrical deformations or extensions of different types of integrable models. We present non-Hermitian versions of quantum spin chains, multi-particle systems of Calogero-Moser-Sutherland type and non-linear integrable field equations of Korteweg-de-Vries type. The quantum spin chain discussed is related to the first example in the series of the non-unitary models of minimal conformal field theories. For the Calogero-Moser-Sutherland models we provide three alternative deformations: A complex extension for models related to all types of Coxeter/Weyl groups; models describing the evolution of poles in constrained real valued field equations of non linear integrable systems and genuine deformations based on antilinearly invariant deformed root systems. Deformations of complex nonlinear integrable field equations of KdV-type are studied with regard to different kinds of PT-symmetrical scenarios. A reduction to simple complex quantum mechanical models currently under discussion is presented.

Magnetic Helicity of Self-Similar Axisymmetric Force-free Fields

description: In this paper we continue our theoretical studies on addressing what are the possible consequences of magnetic helicity accumulation in the solar corona. Our previous studies suggest that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are natural products of coronal evolution as a consequence of magnetic helicity accumulation and the triggering of CMEs by surface processes such as flux emergence also have their origin in magnetic helicity accumulation. Here we use the same mathematical approach to study the magnetic helicity of axisymmetric power-law force-free fields, but focus on a family whose surface flux distributions are defined by self-similar force-free fields. The semi-analytical solutions of the axisymmetric self-similar force-free fields enable us to discuss the properties of force-free fields possessing a huge amount of accumulated magnetic helicity. Our study suggests that there may be an absolute upper bound on the total magnetic helicity of all bipolar axisymmetric force-free fields. And with the increase of accumulated magnetic helicity, the force-free field approaches being fully opened up, with Parker-spiral-like structures present around a current-sheet layer as evidence of magnetic helicity in the interplanetary space. It is also found that among the axisymmetric force-free fields having the same boundary flux distribution, the one that is self-similar is the one possessing the maximum amount of total magnetic helicity. This possibly gives a physical reason why self-similar fields are often found in astrophysical bodies, where magnetic helicity accumulation is presumably also taking place.

description: The chemical composition of a protoplanetary disk is determined not only by in situ chemical processes during the disk phase, but also by the history of the gas and dust before it accreted from the natal envelope. In order to understand the disk's chemical composition at the time of planet formation, especially in the midplane, one has to go back in time and retrace the chemistry to the molecular cloud that collapsed to form the disk and the central star. Here we present a new astrochemical model that aims to do just that. The model follows the core collapse and disk formation in two dimensions, which turns out to be a critical upgrade over older collapse models. We predict chemical stratification in the disk due to different physical conditions encountered along different streamlines. We argue that the disk-envelope accretion shock does not play a significant role for the material in the disk at the end of the collapse phase. Finally, our model suggests that complex organic species are formed on the grain surfaces at temperatures of 20 to 40 K, rather than in the gas phase in the T>100 K hot corino.

description: We study the Poincare polynomials of all known Calabi-Yau three-folds as constrained polynomials of Littlewood type, thus generalising the well-known investigation into the distribution of the Euler characteristic and Hodge numbers. We find interesting fractal behaviour in the roots of these polynomials in relation to the existence of isometries, distribution versus typicality, and mirror symmetry.

The Assemblage as Aesthetic Place. A Reading between Aesthetics and the Anthropocene of The Mushroom at the End of the World
Creators: name: Gorzanelli, Ivano
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2023

description: The text proposes an interpretation of the category of assemblage starting from Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing's reflection in The Mushroom at the End of the World. The hypothesis we suggest is that through the theoretical figure of assemblage, as image, place, concept, space of livability, Tsing along the multi-voiced itinerary of her text deconstructs the linearity and compactness of certain landscape histories. In doing so, Tsing resorts both to a precise and pointed critique of the idea of progress - especially thanks to W. Benjamin - as well as the search for a modelling of the landscape that has above all in the indeterminate and in chance encounters the reasons for its being. In Tsing's text, the assemblage becomes both the concrete experience of a place and a way of observing that allows an aesthetic reading and a critique of Landscape and cultural heritage to be combined.

description: A regular black hole model, which has been proposed by Hayward, is reconsidered in the framework of higher dimensional TeV unification and self-complete quantum gravity scenario (Dvali, Spallucci). We point out the "quantum" nature of these objects and compute their cross section production by taking into account the key role played by the existence of a "minimal length" l_0. We show as the threshold energy is related to l_0. We recover, in the high energy limit, the standard "black-disk" form of the cross section, while it vanishes, below threshold, faster than any power of the invariant mass-energy \sqrt{-s}.

Perceiving the Anthropocene as a Public Health Risk via Visual Culture
Creators: name: Finch-Race, Daniel A.
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2023

description: There is widespread scientific and cultural evidence that Earth’s planetary boundaries are being exceeded in irreparable ways due to unsustainable behavior in the Global North’s resource-hungry nations in particular, but responsiveness to the climate crisis is still lagging in many parts of the world. It has become clear that significant numbers of people have limited engagement with ecological risks accumulating on a scale much bigger than the micro-level human actions causing them, such as the day-to-day build-up of industrial pollutants including nitrogen dioxide. How best to go about galvanizing socially just degrowth in the face of barriers to individual commitment that range from a sense of powerlessness to disinterest in futures-thinking? Given the extent to which a preoccupation with wellbeing spans walks of life across the globe, it is worth considering the motivational power of understanding ecological dangers in terms of the potential for personal harm. With that end in mind, this article fleshes out an artistically and emotionally oriented approach to the totalizing extractivism of the Anthropocene as a source of public health problems, not least the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Nature that Takes Back it Spaces”: when Architecture Teaches how to Trace Roots. A Conversation with Carlo Ratti
Creators: name: Alison, Aurosa
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2023

description: Today, the definition of the Anthropocene is still very complex. Indeed, it isn't easy to illustrate a concept with many aspects. It is attractive, however, to understand how to interpret the human impact on the environment, and the concrete design of architecture can do so much to this end. In this contribution, I would offer an authentic and sensitive conversation with one of the most concrete architects on the international scene. I like to define Carlo Ratti as a "concrete" architect. Ratti's anthropocentric aspect is not only related to his design projects. His concept of the architectural project strongly represents the future part of the environmental system. How, more and more, the approach to the sensitivity and phenomenology of the present is the central aspect to be understood as a starting point to read future elements. In this regard, an architect creates a warning for the future generations who will inhabit the earth.

description: The Grad-Shafranov reconstruction is a method of estimating the orientation (invariant axis) and cross-section of magnetic flux ropes using the data from a single spacecraft. It can be applied to various magnetic structures such as magnetic clouds (MCs) and flux ropes embedded into the magnetopause and in the solar wind. We develop a number of improvements of this technique and show some examples of the reconstruction procedure of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) observed at 1 AU by the STEREO, WIND and ACE spacecraft during the minimum following the solar cycle 23. The analysis is conducted not only for ideal localized ICME events but also for non-trivial cases of magnetic clouds in fast solar wind. The Grad-Shafranov reconstruction gives reasonable results for the sample events, although it possesses certain limitations, which need to be taken into account during the interpretation of the model results.
