SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA’S BERNARDINO CAMPI PAINTING SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA AND THE IDEAL CORTIGIANA

description: Italian Renaissance artist Sofonisba Anguissola is well-known for the array of self-portraits she painted during her early career. Through her self-portraits created between 1548 and 1559, Anguissola constructed her identity as a virtuous young noblewoman and skilled artist. The key to Anguissola’s portraiture was her adaptation of the ideas prescribed by humanist Baldassar Castiglione in his famous text The Courtier in order to depict herself as the ideal female courtier. Anguissola’s self-fashioning reached its pinnacle with her 1559 self-portrait Bernardino Campi Painting Sofonisba Anguissola, which was among the last works Anguissola completed before she was invited to join the Spanish court of Philip II as a lady-in-waiting-cum-painter. This thesis examines the means by which Anguissola strategically shaped her identity for a court position in her 1559 portrait. I argue she utilized accepted principles for 16th century noble portraiture and costuming, the secondary figure of her former painting teacher, and courtly wit as described by Castiglione, to portray herself as the ideal noblewoman and to firmly secure her position as the first professional female “noble artist” at court.

description: In this paper, we consider the following Klein-Gordon-Maxwell equations \begin{eqnarray*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -Δu+ V(x)u-(2ω+ϕ)ϕu=f(x,u)+h(x)&\mbox{in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$},\\ -Δϕ+ ϕu^2=-ωu^2&\mbox{in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$}, \end{array} \right. \end{eqnarray*} where $ω>0$ is a constant, $u$, $ϕ: \mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, $V : \mathbb{R}^{3} \rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a potential function. By assuming the coercive condition on $V$ and some new superlinear conditions on $f$, we obtain two nontrivial solutions when $h$ is nonzero and infinitely many solutions when $f$ is odd in $u$ and $h\equiv0$ for above equations.

description: Commissioned in 1867 and installed in 1874, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s (1827-1875) Les Quatre parties du monde soutenant la sphère céleste (The Four Parts of the World Supporting the Celestial Sphere), also referred to as the Fontaine des Quatre-Parties-du-Monde (Fountain of the Four Parts of the World), is a public sculpture that adorns a fountain at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. The monument sits on the axis between the Luxembourg Palace and the Paris Observatory and depicts four nude female figures who support a celestial sphere, and who represent the four continents–Europe, America, Africa, and Asia–through their distinct physiognomic features. This thesis interrogates the work’s racial iconography and spatial relationship to sites that embodied French political and scientific authority during the Second French Empire. Reading the monument’s iconography in relation to its placement in the charged space of Haussmannized Paris, I suggest that Napoléon III intended Carpeaux’s work to affirm his right to govern and his need to unite a divided French nation. The Fontaine embodied the contradictions of Napoléon III’s political messaging, as his regime outwardly championed progressive ideals, while it built and sustained itself on imperial and racial conservatism and French racial and political superiority.

description: Understanding the role of network structure in the evolution of cooperation is a key research goal at the intersection between physics and biology. Recent studies have particularly focused on multiplex networks given that multiple social domains are interrelated and cannot be represented by single-layer networks. However, the role of network multiplexity is not fully understood when combined with another important network characteristic: network dynamics. In the present study, we investigated evolutionary prisoner's dilemma games played on dynamic two-layer multiplex networks in which the payoff combined across the two layers determined strategy evolution. In addition, we introduced network dynamics where agents can sever links with defecting neighbors and construct new links. Our simulation showed that link updating enhances cooperation but the resultant states are far from those of full cooperation. This modest enhancement in cooperation was related to symmetry breaking whereby the cooperation frequency in one layer disproportionately increased while that in the other layer remained the same or even diminished. However, this broken symmetry disappeared with sufficiently fast link updating. Our results show that the introduction of network dynamics enhances cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma as previously reported, but this enhancement is accompanied by significant asymmetry once network multiplexity is considered.

description: In 1965, Yoko Ono, a Japanese performance artist, performed Cut Piece at Carnegie Hall in New York City. During the performance, Ono sat on stage and invited the audience to come up, cut off, and take a piece of her clothing. With the audience cutting a piece one by one, the behaviors from the previous participants impacted the later people's actions and the reflections from the auditorium. This study was undertaken in an effort to understand better Ono's artistic invention for Cut Piece: inspiring her audience to critically consider the outside world, including the interrelationships with other people and the existence of the established art institutions, with the support of the concert hall. By performing the piece at Carnegie Recital Hall instead of an art museum or art gallery, Ono promoted audience members to play two roles: observer and performer in her constructing artistic situation. According to the theatrical ideas of alienation and empathy, the two roles could guarantee the audience to both obtain critical thinking and emotional experience. Due to the revolution of Carnegie Hall from the private organization to non-profit one, Ono also waged an act of institutional critique, which criticized the functions and services of art institutions, especially the education for the public and the display of artworks. Therefore, through exploring new possibilities of a conventional musical hall, Ono specifically achieved her artistic and political goal of evoking audience members' critical rethink.

description: We study a prototypical model of two coupled two-level systems, where the competition between coherent and dissipative coupling gives rise to a rich phenomenology. In particular, we analyze the case of asymmetric coupling, as well as the limiting case of chiral (or one-way) coupling. We investigate various quantum optical properties of the system, including its steady state populations, power spectrum, and second-order correlation functions, and outline the characteristic features which emerge in each quantity as one sweeps through the nontrivial landscape of effective complex couplings. Most importantly, we reveal instances of population trapping, unexpected spectral features and strong photon correlations.

Lectotypus (designated here by Callmander & Veldkamp): INDONESIA. Moluccas: Anon. s.n. (G-PREL [G00818072]!) (Fig. 8).
Notes. – WARBURG (1897: 472) cited a Houttuyn collection in the Vahl herbarium (C [C10015464]) in a list of specimens seen: “Houttuyn, Kopenhag, ster. Wein”. MERRILL (1938: 342) mentioned the same specimen annotated as “ Myristica aromatica ded. Dr. Houttuyn”, whereas SINCLAIR (1968: 231) mentioned two Houttuyn collections at L and one in G as “Ex Herb. Burman”. None of these publications designated a type for Myristica fragrans, the source of nutmeg.
One of the L sheets (L-908.133-1765) is annotated by Houttuyn with a reference to his publication (HOUTTUYN, 1789b). The other was given to D. van Royen in 1784 (L-908.133-1797). Two collections have been located in Houttuyn’s herbarium in G-PREL and are annotated by Houttuyn. The only collection with a reference to Houttuyn’s Natuurlijke Historie is designated here as the lectotype. The remaining collections may be considered as part of original material.
DE WILDE (2000: 470) designated a lectotype as: “ J. W. Weinmann [Taalrijk Register 7 (1748) tab. 760-a]”. However, the presence of original material in Houttuyn’s herbarium in G-PREL (Fig. 8) renders this lectotypification superfluous. The origin of the lectotype is quoted as Planta Ind. Orient. in Houttuyn’s herbarium, referring to the Moluccas rather than Ceylon or Java, as is predominantly the case.

SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS’S MRS. NESBITT AS CIRCE (1781): FASHIONING REPUTATIONS

description: In the spring of 1781, society hostess and former courtesan Mary Nesbitt commissioned Sir Joshua Reynolds to paint her portrait, a work now called Mrs. Nesbitt as Circe (1781). As its current title suggests, the portrait depicts Nesbitt in the guise of Circe, a sorceress and sexual temptress in ancient Greek mythology. However, the painting freely interprets Circe’s story. Nesbitt is surrounded by three animals in the portrait—a domestic cat, a black monkey, and a leopard—none of which feature in the Homeric text or other versions of Circe’s tale. Building on recent scholarship that considers how Georgian portraiture could function as a form of self-fashioning for both the artist and sitter, this thesis examines the unusual iconography of Mrs. Nesbitt as Circe. I offer a series of hypotheses that illuminate this enigmatic image in its context, analyzing its complex relationship to concepts of gendered and national identity in late eighteenth-century Britain. Nesbitt’s choice to depict herself as this sexually alluring mythological character is a clear reference to her own history as a courtesan, a daring move for both her and Reynolds, risking public approbation for celebrating her lack of propriety. Yet the provocative nature of this allusion to Circe is tempered by the menagerie of non-European animals around the sitter. I argue this iconography links Nesbitt to Britain’s imperial and racial exploits of the period, which included colonial expansion in Africa, the rise of the East India Company, and increasing trade throughout the Middle East. Through this oblique reference to Britain’s power overseas, Reynolds secured Nesbitt’s white privilege, visually identifying her with the nation’s colonial military and economic power.

description: Consider the continuous-time Markov Branching Process. In critical case we consider a situation when the generating function of intensity of transformation of particles has the infinite second moment, but its tail regularly varies in sense of Karamata. First we discuss limit properties of transition functions of the process. We prove local limit theorems and investigate ergodic properties of the process. Further we investigate limiting probability function conditioned to be never extinct. Hereupon we obtain a new stochastic population process as a continuous-time Markov chain called the Markov Q-Process. We study main properties of Markov Q-Process.

description: Microgale dobsoni (MPIH 1964/104)
 The vomeronasal organ of Microgale is about 1.2 mm in length and extends posteriorly to a point close, but still anterior, to the first ethmoturbinal. It comprises roughly 14% of nasal fossa length (8.4 mm) and 8% of head length (15 mm). A large vein courses lateral to the vomeronasal organ on each side and forms the axis around which the organ has a kidney­shaped appearance (e.g., slice 280).
A J­shaped paraseptal cartilage supports the vomeronasal organ throughout its length, but at no point does the outer bar completely enclose the vomeronasal organ laterally. Anteriorly, the paired vomeronasal organ empties into the superior margin of each nasopalatine duct (slice 244; fig. 30). The nasopalatine canal is paired and connects the oral and nasal cavities on either side of the palatine papilla (slice 240). Lateral to the nasopalatine duct, an isolated nasopalatine duct cartilage is present (slice 244; fig. 30), showing no connection to other cartilages.
Immediately anterior to the nasopalatine duct, the inferior septal ridge is evident and is supported in part by the cartilage of the anterior transverse lamina (slice 220). The latter cartilage has a very narrow posterior connection to the paraseptal cartilage, dorsal to the frontal plane in which the nasopalatine ducts connect the oral and nasal cavities (slice 240).
 Anterior to the premaxilla, a complete zona annularis is evident, connecting the nasal floor, sidewalls, and roof (slice 140). The superior alar cartilages of the external nose are evident in slice 80 and show a connection to the anterior nasal floor. Unlike the external nose of Potamogale (fig. 23A), no superiorly projecting cartilaginous spur is evident dorsally.

description: The exploration of the rich dynamics of electrons is a frontier in fundamental nano-physics. The dynamical behavior of electrons is dominated by random and chaotic thermal motion with ultrafast ($\approx$ ps) and nanoscale scatterings. This generates fluctuating electromagnetic fields in close vicinity of the moving electrons. W studied this fluctuation in small structures and found that its spatial distribution is not uniform, the magnitude of the fluctuation depends on external parameters such as the size ( ~1 $μm$) and the shape of the structure and changes can occur by an order of magnitude. Our work opens the possibility of improving the signal to noise ratio in small devices and in manipulating microscopic electron kinematics through nano-optical techniques and to applications in thermal detectors and photothermal photovoltaics.

description: This study examines how and why leadership transitions fail. The nonprofit sector has examined this topic for more than three decades, but research shows that small and mid-sized arts organizations remain unprepared for the inevitable leadership transitions of the future. Building on existing literature, consultants and nonprofit professionals weigh in on the intricacies of transitions in today’s nonprofit environment, how for-profit practices translate to the nonprofit sector, and best practices for involving other stakeholders in the process. Together, these findings suggest that a shift in attitude is needed in the nonprofit sector for organizations to approach these situations with appropriate care and secure the adequate financial resources.
Lunchmates : a campus lunch co-op

description: There is a constantly growing need for enjoyable, nutritious, and affordable lunch options on campus. Students and staff members are becoming more pressed for time and decisions about food, sustainability, and the community seem to be growing in complexity. At the Vancouver Campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC), we are attempting to establish the feasibility of a campus based lunch co-op program to make it easier for students, and potentially staff members, to simply connect with others through the simple act of sharing food with others and eating lunch together. The Lunchmates campus lunch co-op aims to reduce the amount of time, energy, and waste students generate when cooking a typical individual meal. The Lunchmates each take turns cooking a homemade lunch for the entire group one day per week. To determine the feasibility of a lunch co-op on campus, we conducted a six-week trial run that identified the issues and challenges related to purchasing ingredients, food safety concerns, and nutritional requirements. We also looked into appropriate dining locations on campus, waste and energy reduction, and how the co-op project can contribute to community building at UBC. The Lunchmates project aims to include students and staff from all departments and faculties across campus. There are potential collaborations between the lunch co-op project and the UBC Wellness Centre Nutrition Team and also the UBC Vancouver Collegia program. There are three key recommendations for the subsequent stages of the lunch co-op project. Additional research opportunities and funding can be considered to ensure the project’s successful continuation.

description: Renormalization group evolution of QCD composite light-cone operators, built from two and more quark and gluon fields, is responsible for the logarithmic scaling violations in diverse physical observables. We analyze spectra of anomalous dimensions of these operators at large conformal spins at weak and strong coupling with the emphasis on the emergence of a dual string picture. The multi-particle spectrum at weak coupling has a hidden symmetry due to integrability of the underlying dilatation operator which drives the evolution. In perturbative regime, we demonstrate the equivalence of the one-loop cusp anomaly to the disk partition function in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory which admits a string representation. The strong coupling regime for anomalous dimensions is discussed within the two pictures addressed recently, -- minimal surfaces of open strings and rotating long closed strings in AdS background. In the latter case we find that the integrability implies the presence of extra degrees of freedom -- the string junctions. We demonstrate how the analysis of their equations of motion naturally agrees with the spectrum found at weak coupling.

Echinops telfairi

description: Echinops telfairi (ZIUT, HL 18 mm)
 The posterior margin of the paraseptal cartilage in Echinops is coincident with the anterior margin of the first ethmoturbinal (slice 15.2.4); the vomeronasal organ itself appears a fraction of a millimeter farther anteriorly (slice 14.2.2). Rostrally, the vomeronasal organ terminates over the posterior incisive foramina. The vomeronasal organ (approximately 1.6 mm long) comprises 17% of nasal capsule length (9.5 mm) and 9% of head length (18 mm). Two venous channels are evident dorsolateral and ventromedial to the vomeronasal organ on each side (e.g., slice 11.3.4), each of which gives off several small branches toward the inferior part of the nasal septum.
 The anterior paraseptal cartilage curves around the vomeronasal organ laterally (slice 10.5.4), but does not possess an outer bar passing dorsal to the vomeronasal organ or vomeronasal duct. The vomeronasal duct empties directly into the nasopalatine duct, well separated from the nasal cavity proper (slice 9.3.6). Farther anteriorly, the paired nasopalatine duct appears very atypical, as the conduits on each side coalesce with one another into a single channel that opens into the oral cavity (slice 8.3.6; fig. 31). As a result, the typical mammalian inverted mushroomshaped palatine papilla is absent. This condition has been previously documented in Echinops and Setifer by Hofer (1982a). Cartilages supporting the nasopalatine duct are small; only a minor cartilaginous center is evident along the lateral margin of the incisive foramen. The paraseptal cartilage does not show a significant anterior continuity with the anterior transverse lamina (slice 9.5.5).
Just anterior to the incisive foramina and dorsal to part of the nasopalatine duct, anteroposteriorly running ridges on either side of the septum are evident (slice 9.2.5). The posterior margin of the anterior transverse lamina provides cartilaginous support for these inferior septal ridges. Farther anteriorly, bulges on each side of the nasal septum comprise the ‘‘superior’’ septal ridges, which have no cartilaginous support and contain glandular tissue (slice 5.1.5). Also in this re­ gion of the anterior nose, a complete zona annularis is evident.
Adjacent to the anterior termination of the nasolacrimal duct, the superior alar processes originate from the nasal sidewall and extend dorsolaterally (slice 3.6.4). No connection with the anterior nasal cupula is apparent.

Passing the Baton: An analysis of executive leadership transitions in small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations
Creators: name: Schultz, Tara

subject: Strategy, management and organisational behaviour

description: This study examines how and why leadership transitions fail. The nonprofit sector has examined this topic for more than three decades, but research shows that small and mid-sized arts organizations remain unprepared for the inevitable leadership transitions of the future. Building on existing literature, consultants and nonprofit professionals weigh in on the intricacies of transitions in today’s nonprofit environment, how for-profit practices translate to the nonprofit sector, and best practices for involving other stakeholders in the process. Together, these findings suggest that a shift in attitude is needed in the nonprofit sector for organizations to approach these situations with appropriate care and secure the adequate financial resources.

description: We present an experimental set-up developed to perform optical spectroscopy experiments (Raman scattering and photoluminescence measurements) with a micrometer spatial resolution, in an extreme environment of low temperature, high magnetic field and high pressure. This unique experimental setup, to the best of our knowledge, allows us to explore deeply the phase diagram of condensed matter systems by tuning independently these three thermodynamic parameters, while monitoring the low-energy excitations (electronic, phononic or magnetic excitations), to spatially map the Raman scattering response or to investigate objects with low dimensions. We apply this technique to bulk FePS3, a layered antiferromagnet with a Neel temperature of T = 120 K.

description: In brand succession planning, nonprofit arts organizations must plan how to best transition their marketing along with their founder. Branding in nonprofits is not a new topic, but often organizations are unaware of just how connected their founder is to their outward facing communications. This paper seeks to explore the relationship between founders of nonprofit arts organizations and their organization’s institutional brand. The conclusion of this paper describes how organizations can best plan for transitioning their brand and marketing messaging along with that of their founder, to avoid losing trust from constituents when new leadership takes over.

description: Setifer setosus (ZIUT, celloidin­embedded individual)
 The vomeronasal organ of this adult Setifer specimen extends approximately 5 mm posteriorly beyond the premaxilla, to the level of the first premolars (slice 75.2.1). Unfortunately, length estimates for the nasal fossa and head of this specimen are unavailable. One particularly large blood vessel lies lateral to the vomeronasal organ along most of its length; numerous other vessels of moderate caliber are also evident scattered throughout the organ (e.g., slice 64.1.1).
The paraseptal cartilage borders the vomeronasal organ ventrally and medially throughout its length. In some sections it extends lateral to the vomeronasal organ (e.g., slice 57.2.1), but the paraseptal cartilage does not give off an outer bar that passes dorsal to the vomeronasal organ or the vomeronasal duct.
 At its anterior margin the vomeronasal organ grades into the vomeronasal duct, which enters the nasopalatine duct ventral to and separate from the nasal fossa (slice 48.1.1). The nasopalatine canal of Setifer leaves the nasal fossa paired; farther ventrally, however, Setifer resembles Echinops in that the canals on each side join with each other to form a single canal that opens into the oral cavity (slice 38.1.1; see also Hofer, 1982a). A very small nasopalatine duct cartilage is evident connected with the paraseptal cartilage (e.g., 48.3.1).
Anterior to the vomeronasal organ, the paraseptal cartilage ends, showing no continuity with the anterior transverse lamina. The posterior margin of the anterior transverse lamina supports the inferior septal ridge, extending out from the nasal septum, just dorsal and anterior to the nasal openings of the nasopalatine ducts (slice 47.2.1).
 Anterior to the premaxilla, the nasal floor descends relative to the roof, greatly increas­ ing the volume within the nasal cupula (compare slices 35.2.1 and 25.2.1). In this region, Setifer shows a broad continuity, or zona annularis, between the nasal septum, floor, and sidewall.
The superior alar processes are relatively narrow, showing only a short connection with the anterior nasal floor and no connection with the anterior nasal cupula. However, the alar processes do provide attachments for small muscles of the rhinarium (e.g., slice 13.2.1).

description: To assist researchers to identify Environmental Microorganisms (EMs) effectively, a Multiscale CNN-CRF (MSCC) framework for the EM image segmentation is proposed in this paper. There are two parts in this framework: The first is a novel pixel-level segmentation approach, using a newly introduced Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), namely, "mU-Net-B3", with a dense Conditional Random Field (CRF) postprocessing. The second is a VGG-16 based patch-level segmentation method with a novel "buffer" strategy, which further improves the segmentation quality of the details of the EMs. In the experiment, compared with the state-of-the-art methods on 420 EM images, the proposed MSCC method reduces the memory requirement from 355 MB to 103 MB, improves the overall evaluation indexes (Dice, Jaccard, Recall, Accuracy) from 85.24%, 77.42%, 82.27%, and 96.76% to 87.13%, 79.74%, 87.12%, and 96.91%, respectively, and reduces the volume overlap error from 22.58% to 20.26%. Therefore, the MSCC method shows great potential in the EM segmentation field.

description: Tenrec ecaudatus (ZIUT, HL 20 mm; fig. 32)
Posteriorly, the vomeronasal organ and paraseptal cartilages extend to the upper canines. The vomeronasal organ itself measures approximately 1.5 mm in length. This makes up 14% of nasal fossa length (10.2 mm) and 7.5% of head length (20 mm). Several small blood vessels are apparent running parallel to the vomeronasal organ.
The paraseptal cartilage lies medial to the vomeronasal organ along its entire length and does not exhibit a complete outer bar laterally (fig. 32). The vomeronasal ducts are narrow, anterior continuations of each vomeronasal organ tube, emptying into the nasopalatine canal at a point well­separated from the nasal fossa (slice 7.5.1). A large palatine papilla is evident medial to the nasopalatine ducts as they open into the oral cavity.
 A nasopalatine duct cartilage is present lateral to the nasopalatine ducts and is connected to both the paraseptal cartilage dorsomedially and the ‘‘nasopalatine duct’’ cartilage medially (slice 8.2.4; fig. 33). Kuhn (1971: 30) noted that confusion exists regarding the definitions of the ‘‘palatine’’ and ‘‘nasopalatine duct’’ cartilages; in some taxa (including Tenrec), the two are continuous anteriorly. As defined in previous studies (e.g., Maier, 1980), they are at least distinguishable posteriorly; the palatine cartilage exists lateral, and the nasopalatine duct cartilage medial, to the nasopalatine duct itself.
 Anterior to the nasopalatine canal is the inferior septal ridge, supported medially by the superior arm of the anterior transverse lamina and containing olfactory epithelium (slice 6.1.1). The medial arm of the anteriormost paraseptal cartilage has a narrow connection with the anterior transverse lamina. The connection between the nasal septum, floor, and sidewall in Tenrec is constricted, but present, at the point just anterior to the premaxilla and where the nasolacrimal duct enters the nasal fossa (slice 4.4.5).
 A feature of the external nose that Tenrec shares with Setifer is the abrupt inferior extension of the anterior nasal floor, greatly enlarging the surface area available for olfactory epithelium in the anterior nose (slice 5.3.1). In Tenrec, the narrow superior alar processes originate from this ventrally extended nasal floor, and show no commissura alicupularis connecting them to the anterior nasal cupulae.

description: Differential cross sections for elastic scattering of 21.5 MeV positive and negative pions by Si, Ca, Ni and Zr have been measured as part of a study of the pion-nucleus potential across threshold. The `anomalous' repulsion in the s-wave term was observed, as is the case with pionic atoms. The extra repulsion can be accounted for by a chiral-motivated model where the pion decay constant is modified in the medium. Unlike in pionic atoms, the anomaly cannot be removed by merely introducing an empirical on-shell energy dependence.
