title: Exposing the Event. A Curatorial Investigation of the Aesthetics of Novelty in the Portuguese Revolution
Creators: name: Rito, Carolina
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Curatorial, Portuguese Revolution, Politics of Aesthetics, Aesthetics, Novelty

description: Exposing the Event dissertation sets up the curatorial as an aesthetic investigative practice able to read the representations and manifestations of the ‘new’—and what they efface—in the expanded field of cultural activity. Through a curatorial approach the ‘new’ is examined as a constellation of aesthetic manifestations and exposures, only able to signify under an apparatus that renders them visible, sayable and thinkable (Rancière, 2004). Considering a historical event as a cultural manifestation of the new, the Portuguese Revolution (1974-1976) serves as the framework of this investigation. The three chapters draw on visual and aural material—documentary, essay and militant cinema—of the Portuguese Revolution, made during the PREC (Ongoing Revolutionary Process) and in the present.

Chapter One introduces the film Torre Bela (Harlan, 1977) set in Portugal during the Carnation Revolution, in order to problematise the mechanisms of ‘event’ production as an unexpected manifestation of a historical new. Chapter Two explores the notion of the ‘return of the secret gaze’ (Kuster, 2007) in order to disclose a multiplicity of layers of representation in the exhibitionary space of Torre Bela. Chapter Three addresses the ‘right to narrate’ unmoving histories through Grada Kilomba’s intervention in the film Conakry (César, 2013) and the haunted memories of Ventura in Horse Money (Costa, 2014). The proposed readings aim to address the ‘non-revolted’ affects of the post-revolutionary present.

A series of transcriptions, images and performative texts are woven into the dissertation. These materials include an interview with Pedro Costa (2015), and an array of stills from Torre Bela (1977). Their insertion aims to animate the curatorial as an investigative practice capable of intersecting different registers of material and set them in dialogue.
DNA Signal Induced Fusion And Aggregation Behaviors of Synthetic Cells

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis investigates the use of engineered DNA to program fusion and aggregation behaviors of artificial cells, mimicking biological cells and their important functions. To achieve this goal, we construct synthetic cells from engineered lipids and DNA to recognize and process intercellular signals.
Cell fusion is regulated by snap receptor (SNARE) proteins in mammalian cells. The zippering of SNARE proteins exerts forces to the adjacent cell membrane and induces membrane fusion. The hybridization of membrane anchored DNA can induce fusion in a similar way. The advantage of using DNA as a fusion signal is that oligonucleotides are much easier to engineer and control. In this study, we construct two types of small vesicles decorated with DNA oligonucleotides and demonstrate their fusion using programmable DNA base-pairing. Fluorescent probes are used to measure fusion events. The experiment advances our understanding of the dynamic vesicle fusion behavior.

Cell aggregation is a complex behavior that is closely associated to the differentiation, migration, and viability of biological cells. An effort to create synthetic analogs could lead to considerable advances in cell physiology and biophysics. Rendering and modulating such a dynamic artificial cell system require mechanisms for receiving, transducing, and transmitting intercellular signals, yet effective tools are limited at present. Here we construct synthetic cells and show their programmable aggregation behaviors using DNA oligonucleotides as a signaling molecule. The synthetic cells have transmembrane DNA origami that are used to recognize and process intercellular signals. We demonstrate that multiple small vesicles aggregate onto a giant vesicle after a transduction of external DNA signals by an intracellular enzyme, and that the small vesicles dissociate when receiving ‘release’ signals.

We envision that this thesis will provide a new platform for building programmable synthetic protocells capable of chemical communication and coordination.

Subjects: subject: The curatorial, curating, antagonism, anachronism, exhaustion, fictionalism, Palestine-Israel, Israel-Palestine, action and acting, politics and the political

description: Betrayal is proposed in this dissertation as a concept that is informed by political theory and by curatorial concepts. Betrayal is conceptualized here as an entanglement of antagonistic relations. It is proposed as an engagement with an antagonism while withdrawing from its underlying logic. Betrayal is presented as a variety of approaches through a set of proposals which include exhaustion, anachronism, fictionalism, demonstration and acting.
 
Written in the context of curatorial work in Israel-Palestine, this dissertation proposes several qualities of the field of the curatorial and applies them to political theory. Betrayal is considered operational through the field of the curatorial as the curatorial provides a setting for activating potentialities. In the three chapters of this dissertation, Betrayal is developed through an active reading of the lives and work of several figures as method: Alcibiades son of Cleinias, a fifth century BC Athenian politician; the last book published by Sigmund Freud during his lifetime: Moses and Monotheism; and Bertolt Brecht’s notion of Acting in relation to Hannah Arendt’s political Action. 

Informed by the curatorial ability to articulate connectedness and activating potentialities, this dissertation deploys Betrayal as a set of strategies that include formation, narrative and agency. The way these entangle antagonisms involves different ways of articulating practices that can move inside-out, can destabilize inwards and can shift the site of articulation of politics itself. The curatorial and Betrayal are thus the centre of this dissertation as it aims to provide a tool for operating in politics.

description: Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs), which exhibit permittivity as a function of electric field and/or permeability as a function of magnetic field strength, are of increasing importance for sharpening pulses to less than 100 ps and serving as radiofrequency (RF) sources; however, NLTLs often are not easily modified to achieve different output parameters. One method under investigation involves combining inclusions of nonlinear dielectric (barium strontium titanate (BST)) and/or magnetic (nickel zinc ferrite (NZF)) inclusions to tune NLTL properties by adjusting inclusion loading fractions. This thesis focuses on measuring the nonlinear permeability and magnetic loss tangent of composites comprised of various volume loadings of NZF or a combination of NZF and BST inclusions encapsulated in a silicon matrix. We measured the relative permeability from 1 - 4 GHz using a coaxial airline while biasing the samples in an external DC magnetic field from 0 – 171 kA/m. The permeability decreased from 1 to 4 GHz for each volume fraction but increased with increasing magnetic field strength at low magnetic field strengths with sufficient NZF volume loading. The magnetic loss tangents of the composites increased with increasing frequency and/or NZF volume fraction but were suppressed by increasing the external magnetic field strength. Adding BST to an NZF composites did not cause a significant change in permeability compared to NZF alone, based on an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparison test. These results elucidate the frequency, magnetic field, and volume loading dependence of NZF at microwave frequency and provide initial information for simulating NLTLs and examining more comprehensive RF system behavior. We then investigated the feasibility of tapering the NLTL by modifying the inclusion loading down the line to control the device’s electric and magnetic properties to achieve greater system flexibility and rigidity. Unlike conventional tapering by gradually changing the line size, this method bypasses the complex, difficult to manufacture geometries by leveraging the experimental results obtained for our NZF and BST composites. Potential drawbacks of extending this approach to nonlinear materials and NLTLs is discussed.

description: Real World Evidence (RWE), the use of data not collected via traditional randomised controlled trials (RCT) for decision-making, is becoming more interesting to market-access and reimbursement decision-makers, despite potential methodological issues around its use. This paper, the second in a series looking at the use of Real World Evidence (RWE) in Europe, analyses the opinions of a number of key experts in pricing and reimbursement from a selection of countries across Europe. Discussion centred on the use of RWE in licensing, commissioning, clinical decision-making and patient and outcome related decision-making in the context of three different treatment areas – chronic disease, oncology and rare diseases. Results of discussion sessions with ‘RWE experts’ indicated that the associated benefits of RWE are becoming more relevant but there is a need for a well-organised, high quality system for data generation, interpretation and use. It is likely that different treatment areas will have differing RWE requirements and differing levels of utility. In the rare disease arena, RWE may have a role in licensing based decisions, but this is unlikely for chronic disease or oncology. In order to enhance the role of RWE, and to ensure it meets its full potential in all treatment areas, a multi-stakeholder approach at the EU level is required, with collaboration between national and supranational organisations and all stakeholders including patient organisations, manufacturers and reimbursement agencies.
Younger-onset dementia

description: The term “presenile dementia”, used widely in the published literature until about 10 years ago, is no longer favoured and the terms “young-onset dementia”, “younger-onset dementia”,and “younger people with dementia” are now commonly used. Young-onset dementia (YOD) refers to the onset of dementia before the age of 65. Common symptoms include behavioral changes, psychiatric manifestations, and cognitive decline.

Early-onset forms of adult neurodegenerative disease are the most common cause of YOD. Of these, the most common is AD followed by vascular dementia (VaD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Other causes include alpha synuclein pathologies, Huntington's disease, Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and Fahr's disease. Late-onset forms of childhood neurodegenerative conditions, such as mitochondrial disorders, lysosomal storage disorders, and leukodystrophies, are also important considerations and represent the most common causes of YOD in patients younger than 35 years. The reversible causes of YOD are inflammatory, infectious including, HIV dementia, neurosyphilis, Whipple disease, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), toxic, and metabolic disorders. A systematic approach to diagnosing YOD allows for early diagnosis and intervention with the ultimate goal of symptom reversal or, at minimum, improvement in quality of life for patients and caregivers.

description: The study of small RNA helps us understand part of the complexity of gene regulation of a cell. Of the different types of small RNAs, the most important in mammals are miRNA, tRNA fragments and piRNAs. The advantage of small RNA-seq analysis is that we can study all small RNA types simultaneously, with the potential to detect novel small RNA types. Seqcluster is a genome-wide sRNA characterization tool that detects units of transcripts (clusters) using a heuristic iterative algorithm to deal with multi-mapped events. It quantifies non-redundantly all types of sRNAs, and extract patterns of expression in biologically defined groups. This allows the study of RNAs that have multiple gene copies over the genome. We describe SeqclusterViz (https://github.com/lpantano/seqclusterViz), an interactive HTML-javascript web-page for visualizing small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) predicted by Seqcluster. Most computational tools for sequencing data analysis focus on microRNAs (miRNAs), overlooking other types of sRNAs that show multi-mapping hits. The SeqclusterViz tool allows users to visualize known/novel small RNA types in model or non-model organisms, and to select sRNA candidates for further validation. SeqclusterViz is divided into three panels: i) query-ready tables showing clusters and their genomic locations, ii) the expression profile over the precursor for all the samples, together with RNA secondary structures, and iii) the mostly highly expressed sequences. It is a stand-alone tool without external requirements. It runs locally in the computer making it portable. The tool integrates formatting options to show differences between groups or/and samples and to customize figures. Seqcluster and SeqclusterViz are integrated into bcbio-nextgen (https://bcbio-nextgen.readthedocs.io/), a community-based python framework. Here, we show the capabilities of the visualization tool and its validation using human brain samples from Parkinson’s disease patients.

description: Integration of trait data with phylogenies is required for ancestral state reconstruction, which gives an understanding of how phenotypic characters evolved during evolution. This was limited to smaller phylogenetic trees with few number of taxa, but current macro-evolutionary studies require integration of large data matrices with large phylogenetic trees, which introduces various challenges during the integration. In this work, several challenges regarding integration of large-scale trait data with phylogenies was identified and a generic bioinformatics pipeline was built to overcome those challenges. Phenoscape Knowledgebase (KB; kb.phenoscape.org) is a valuable source for retrieving computable trait data matrices for vertebrates, and Open Tree of Life project (Open Tree; http://opentreeoflife.org) is a popular source for retrieving species-level trees in the scale of large taxonomic groups. However, the data matrices downloaded from Phenoscape KB cannot be directly integrated with Open Tree phylogeny without significant data loss. Therefore, a generic bioinformatics pipeline was developed to transform the trait data matrices from Phenoscape KB into a version that can be integrated with Open Tree phylogenies. The pipeline is focused on efficient data integration, and it includes two novel algorithms for data propagation and taxonomic reconciliation. This pipeline was used to analyze the frequency of paired fin loss across teleost fishes and could reduce the missing data percentage of the initial matrix from 98.09% to 38.19%, which ensured that trait data retrieved from Phenoscape KB was efficiently transferred to the Open Tree phylogeny. Ancestral state reconstruction of the paired fin presence and absence provided understanding about paired fin evolution in teleost fishes and proved that this pipeline can be used to efficiently integrate trait data with a large phylogeny that is over 38,000 taxa, which was never conducted successfully in this scale before.

description: This thesis offers and evaluates collaborative writing practices for teams of Design students at M-Level in Higher Education (HE). The research begins by asking why writing is included in current art and design HE, and identifies an assumption about the role of writing across the sector derived from a misreading of the 1960 and 1970 Coldstream Reports. As a result, drawing on recommendations that were made in the Reports for non-studio studies to be complementary to art and design practice in HE, I focus on how teams of design students can complement their design skills with collaborative writing. Some studies for addressing how design students learn from writing in HE already exist, but none have established a practice-centred teaching method for collaborative writing for design teams at M-level. My research captures the effects of my Approaches, Practices and Tools (APTs) across three case study workshops. I compare these with the most common writing model in HE designed for text-based study in the humanities.

My APTs use participants' designerly strengths to redesign how they can use writing to complement their practice. This provides learners with a means of identifying and creating their own situated writing structures and practices. I document how my practice-centred APTs position collaborative writing practices as a designerly mode of communication between design practitioners working in teams. I show it to be more complementary to practice and so more effective in comparison to models imported from the humanities. My explorations are carried out through two thesis sections. Section One is an in-depth literature-based rationale that critically informs my investigations. Section Two presents my methodologies and reports three case studies, in which I explore the emergent data collected through a range of qualitative methods, mapping and evaluative techniques. The findings are of importance to those teaching M-Level design courses.
QUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING WITH FREQUENCY-BIN QUDITS

Subjects: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Encoding quantum information in narrow, equispaced frequency bins has emerged as a novel scheme for photonic quantum information processing (QIP) due to its inherent high-dimensionality and compatibility with dense spectral multiplexing networks. Generation and distribution of such state, commonly known as biphoton frequency combs (BFCs), have been widely demonstrated over fiber- and chip-compatible platforms, while the processing side is relatively underdeveloped. In this dissertation, we focus on the realization of the quantum frequency processor, a photonic device comprised of an alternating sequence of electro-optic phase modulators and Fourier-transform pulse shapers, capable of processing BFCs in a parallel and low-noise fashion. Utilizing standard telecommunication components, we experimentally complete the universal gate set required for scalable quantum computing, including a high-fidelity Hadamard gate and a coincidence-basis controlled-NOT gate. High-dimensional quantum operations are also explored on our device, where we implement the first frequency-bin tritter, a three-mode extension of the Hadamard gate. Moreover, we exploit the natural parallelizability of the system and implement tunable and independent qubit operations on co-propagating qubits. We realize frequency-bin Hong-Ou-Mandel interference with record-high visibility, as well as the first high-fidelity spectral correlation flip on two-qubit entangled states. Finally, we demonstrate essential functionalities for quantum networking, including arbitrary single-qubit rotations, and for the first time, a frequency-domain Bell-state analyzer.
Each of these demonstrations represents a primitive but essential function in frequency domain QIP, with the potential of scaling up such fundamental systems into larger processors thanks to ongoing efforts in integrated photonics design. Such large-scale integrated processors would then be well positioned for the application such as interconnecting matter qubits with mismatched frequencies and various quantum communication protocols based on frequency-bin encoding.

description: Parents’ ability to access good quality information is the lifeline to good family outcomes, just as access to good quality childcare offers a child the best start in life. Pioneering information seeking behaviour study in the field of childcare, this research identifies that family outcomes are determined by their information behaviour, demand on systems, social networks, information sources and other symptomatic influencing factors including trust, quality, cost, staff, time and values. 

The research builds on existing theoretical approaches by integrating a multi-theoretical approach to facilitate a comprehensive analysis of parents’ childcare information-seeking behaviour which reveals that the childcare information-seeking process is characterised by information behaviours such as sense making, information authentication, information berry-picking, and in some cases information avoidance based on parents’ experience, system complexity, or family values. 

Identifying patterns of childcare information-seeking behaviour, the research builds a model that reflects the four categories of information sources parents consult or engage with during the period. Recognising the major barriers to information seeking, the research accentuates the critical success factors required to improve parents’ experience when looking for childcare to inform future policies, practice and development.
Post Windfarm Installation Impacts on Soil Properties and Crop Response in the Midwest

description: Throughout the United States, large windfarms, containing anywhere from 5 to 150 turbines, have been installed due to the increased demand for alternative energy. Since 2008, 1,264 turbines have been installed in Indiana, with the majority of installations occurring on agricultural fields. Despite the large number of turbine installations, impacts of these installations on soil and crop health is unknown. Turbine installation requires the traffic of heavy construction equipment within agriculture fields which may compact the soil altering its physical properties and negatively impact crop growth. To better understand the impact of turbine installation on soil and crop health, we developed a remote-sensing based method to quantify the areal extent of soil and crop impairment due to turbine installation. The method compares the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from satellite images from areas of potential impairment to areas with no known impairment to determine statistical differences in NDVI between impaired and unimpaired areas and then calculates the area of potential impairment. We tested this methodology on two windfarms in Indiana. Our results showed that in the year following turbine installation, turbine installation was associated with an average impairment of 1.8 hectares per turbine and the area of impairment decreased approximately 15-30 percent in each subsequent year. Our results also suggest that soil texture and drainage have an effect on the magnitude and recovery rate of impairment. Coarse textured and/or well drained soils experienced very little to no impairment while fine textured and/or poorly drained soils experienced significant impairment and had not returned to pre-installation levels of impairment after three years. Our findings will allow landowners the opportunity to review current points of negotiation with windfarm developers as well as provide information regarding the potential loss of productivity in crops at these sites.

INTRODUCTION: The South East Asia Research Collaboration in HIV (SEARCH) RV411 clinical trial in Thailand was a systematic investigation of analytic treatment interruption (ATI) in individuals diagnosed and treated since Fiebig stage I acute HIV infection. Here, we explore decision-making processes and perceptions of trial participation in a phase I trial that raised important ethical considerations, to identify potential areas of improvement in this relatively new field of HIV research. Similar considerations apply to other HIV phase I trials, especially those involving ATI, making this trial a model to identify challenges and opportunities in promoting informed choice. METHODS: Using longitudinal semi-structured interviews and a validated questionnaire, we examined how decisions to join or decline the trial were made, whether there was evidence of decisional conflict, and reactions to the trial outcomes. We also explored contrasting views and experiences in this small trial cohort. We report analyses of data from these questionnaires and interviews, conducted from February through December of 2016 with the 14 SEARCH cohort participants who either joined (n = 8) or declined (n = 6) participation in RV411. RESULTS: The eight participants and six decliners had low overall decisional conflict, which remained low over time. Decision making was more difficult for decliners than participants, at least initially. While all interviewees described being satisfied with their decisions, our study identified important negative consequences for a few individuals, including seroconversion, negative experiences with optional procedures and disappointment due to rapid viral rebound. CONCLUSIONS: Although our results reflect the experiences of a small group invited to join this trial, our overall finding of low decisional conflict even while some individuals reported negative experiences provides lessons for clinical trial investigators. We developed points-to-consider in helping participants make informed choices, to support participants during the trial and to support decliners in their decisions.

description: Despite ‘race’ equality legislation in England, Whiteness – a political and ideological system of power that maintains ‘White’ raced hegemony, is reproduced everyday in its educational institutions in and through a Eurocentric National Curriculum that implicitly valorizes ‘White’ raced subjects in subtle ways that often appear neutral or invisible. The persistent and repeated patterning of Whiteness in and through these educational systems and structures is seen to represent a form of tacit intentionality on the part of powerholders and state education policymakers in postcolonial England. However, these institutionalized practices of Whiteness, and the processes of racialization that have historically maintained them, have not yet been critically analysed, which serves to further facilitate and secure their hegemonic power and structured invisibility by enabling them to remain concealed. This thesis critically historicizes how Whiteness, and its structured invisibility, has been socially produced in educational institutions in postcolonial England in and through the curriculum, unconsciously or otherwise. This is a subversive move that intends to critically expose and analyse how Whiteness has tenaciously secured its hegemony, and structured invisibility, over time, in ways that intend to suggest strategies for deconstructing it to make curricular knowledges and practices equitable. Empirical data is drawn from four sources – curricular texts, including English state curriculum policies, examination syllabi and pedagogical resources, teacher participant interview data, classroom observations and a research diary, which are all framed within a qualitative methodological approach. This data is critically analysed using a range of theoretical frameworks – critical Whiteness studies, racialization, Foucauldian, Lacanian and Butlerian theory. Key research findings indicate that the processes of racialization that enable Whiteness to maintain itself, and its structured invisibility, are complex and multi-faceted involving structural, historical, political, discursive, visual, unconscious, affective, micro-social and embodied configurations. This research has implications for state curriculum policymakers, educational institutions, teacher educators and teachers.

Towards efficacious management of microbial infections

description: Before the 20th century infectious ailments were a central basis for morbidity and mortality globally. The introduction of effective antimicrobial agents in the mid-20th century was a turning point in medicine. Fatal diseases such as bacterial meningitis became curable, morbidity and mortality rates associated with infectious diseases reduced and surgical procedures became safer. The success of these new antimicrobial agents led many to believe problems of dealing with infectious diseases could be eradicated. This confidence soon waned due to the upsurge of drug-resistance strains. Today, rapid emergence of drug-resistance and slow introduction of new therapies are some of the contributing factors to high morbidity and mortality rates associated with infectious diseases. Consequently, to efficaciously manage drug-resistance infections, we must exercise stewardship over available resources and promote development of new antimicrobials. To aid in antimicrobial stewardship we sought to develop a rapid azole susceptibility testing technology for Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a prevalent cause of fungal blood stream infections associated with high mortality rates. Timely administration of the appropriate antifungal is correlated positive patient’s outcome. However, timely administration is hindered by the sluggish turnovers of traditional susceptibility testing methods which take up to 72 hours. Herein, we demonstrate glucose metabolic profiling can be used as a rapid readout of fluconazole susceptibility. By probing the de novo lipogenesis, we could discriminate between a fluconazole-susceptible and fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans strain within 5 hours.To promote development of new antimicrobial agents we conducted phenotypic screens and targeted screens in efforts to identify new chemical structures with antibacterial or antivirulence properties. From the phenotypic screen we identified alkynyl isoquinoline as Gram-positive specific antibacterial agents. In our targeted screen we identified an inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis phosphodiesterase (CdnP). CdnP facilitate immune evasion, hence we envision CdnP inhibitors could be developed into antivirulence agents. Lastly, to promote development of new antimicrobial agents we developed a facile technique for identifying inhibitors of cyclic dinucleotide (CDNs) metabolizing enzymes. Due the vital role of CDNs in bacterial physiology, CDNs metabolizing enzymes have been proposed as ideal target for development of new antimicrobial agents.

Propellant Slosh in Conformal Tanks
Creators: name: Beckman, Emily

Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: As small satellites are increasingly used in the space industry, creative solutions for the use of their limited volume will be required. Conformal tanks are one idea to better make use of this volume. These tanks are non-traditionally shaped and non-axisymmetric. Because slosh can have detrimental effects on a spacecraft, it should be understood. However, slosh in these more complicated geometries has not been thoroughly investigated in the past.
This research looks at slosh within six geometries, five of which are conformal tanks. These geometries are evaluated in both an experiment and using CFD simulations. It was found that the total slosh motion appears to be the sum of slosh behavior along each dimension. Slosh along a line of symmetry will have center of mass movement that stays along that line. Slosh off the line of symmetry will deviate from that line unless slosh frequency is the same in each direction.
A Domain-specific Modeling Technique for Value-driven Strategic Sourcing

description: Strategic sourcing recognizes that procurement should support a firm’s effort to achieve its long-term objectives. In particular, procurement needs to be a cross-functional end-to-end process inside the organization that is oriented towards value creation within the company and between the company and its partners in the value chain. The main challenge to the implementation of value-driven strategic sourcing is the lack of instruments that are characterized by analytical rigor and robustness in the identification of strategic sourcing options to achieve strategic goals. Therefore, this research aims to develop a domain-specific modeling technique founded on the Service-Dominant Logic which focuses on the systemic exploration of sourcing alternatives and emphasizes the delivery of value to achieve desired outcomes. This paper reports on a first cycle of Design Science Research which includes the demonstration and the evaluation of the value and utility of the modeling artefacts by means of a case study about IT outsourcing in the healthcare industry.

Le Grand Tōkyō  et son système urbanistique :  l'invention d'une échelle métropolitaine, 1923-1939

description: À la fin du XIXe siècle, face au problème de croissance urbaine accélérée, le sujet de la maîtrise de l’urbanisation de Tōkyō se superpose au projet de modernisation de la capitale. L’accroissement de la population et de l’industrialisation conduit les édiles à repenser les limites de ce territoire, ses échelles de planification et ses méthodes d’aménagement. L’examen de la réglementation et des plans d’aménagement successifs élaborés par les autorités montre que la question de l’échelle métropolitaine et de son dessin ne se pose qu’à partir du tournant des années 1920, et qu'elle s'accélère après le séisme de 1923. Si la capitale ne passe officiellement du statut de ville à celui de métropole qu’en 1943, plusieurs dessins de sa figure métropolitaine sont déjà explorés sous la forme de plans à cette nouvelle échelle.

description: In this talk, we showcase our approach to representing trait data within the NFDI4Biodiversity Knowledge Graph. We demonstrate how ontologies from our terminology repository and service BiodivPortal (biodivportal.gfbio.org) are combined to create a semantic pipeline for transforming trait data into RDF, enabling interoperability and machine-interpretable biodiversity knowledge. Additionally, we explore the role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in two key aspects: schema mapping to facilitate data integration and natural language question answering over the Knowledge Graph.
