description: We explore the evolution of the time variability (in the optical $g$-band and on timescales of weeks to years) of SDSS Stripe 82 quasars along the quasar main sequence. A parent sample of $1004$ quasars within $0.5\leq z \leq 0.89$ are used for our statistical studies, we then make subsamples from our parent sample: a subsample of $246$ quasars with similar luminosities, and a subsample of $399$ quasars with similar Rfe (i.e., the ratio of the equivalent width of FeII within $4435$--$4685\ \mathrmÅ$ to that of \Hbeta). We find the variability amplitude decreases with luminosity ($L_{\mathrm{bol}}$). The anti-correlation between the variability amplitude and Rfe is weak but statistically significant. The characteristic timescale, $τ$, correlates mostly with quasar luminosity, its dependence on Rfe is statistically insignificant. After controlling luminosity and Rfe, the high- and low-FWHM samples have similar structure functions. These results support the framework that Rfe is governed by Eddington ratio and FWHM of Hbeta is mostly determined by orientation. We then provide new empirical relations between variability parameters and quasar properties (i.e., luminosity and Rfe). Our new relations are consistent with the scenario that quasar variability is driven by the thermal fluctuations in the accretion disk, $τ$ seems to correspond to the thermal timescale. From our new relations, we find the short-term variability is mostly sensitive to $L_{\mathrm{bol}}$. Basing on this, we propose that quasar short-term (a few months) variability might be a new type of "Standard Candle" and can be adopted to probe cosmology.

Subjects: subject: Computer science

description: In this dissertation, we explored the usage of computational interaction design methods in the construction of human-centered tools. Computational design interaction methods involve applying learning and optimization to develop user interfaces. Effectively integrating computational tools into interactions can mitigate the effort needed to use these tools, possibly also by flattening their learning curve. These tools can create a seamless workflow for users by eliminating repetitive and/or routine tasks, thus allowing them to focus on the more creative aspects of their work. The novelty and variety of interaction modalities in emerging technologies like VR/AR bring forth fertile ground for exploring incorporating computational tools in designing interactions. AR/VR introduce additional interaction challenges such as maintaining environmental awareness and creating immersive experiences, that could be solved by using computational interaction design methods. We leveraged the human-centered design paradigm to develop several computational interaction tools: - A VR navigation tool that is adaptively displayed according to the user's need for navigation help, as determined by a gaze-based learning model. - A tool for automatically arranging visual elements in a virtual space by optimizing for the amount of visual attention they could receive. - An environment-aware mobile AR drawing tool that allows users to draw 2D strokes on a tablet that are projected and optimized into 3D curves on the environment geometry. - A character design tool that furnishes designers with the capability of exploring their cartoon character colorization designs with a generative auto-colorization model.

description: The use of archery to hunt appears relatively late in human history. It is poorly understood but the application of poisons to arrows to increase lethality must have occurred shortly after developing bow hunting methods; these early multi-stage transitions represent cognitive shifts in human evolution. This paper is a synthesis of widely-scattered literature in anthropology, entomology, and chemistry, dealing with San (“Bushmen”) arrow poisons. The term San (or Khoisan) covers many indigenous groups using so-called ‘click languages’ in southern Africa. Beetles are used for arrow poison by at least eight San groups and one non-San group. Fieldwork and interviews with Ju|’hoan and Hai||om hunters in Namibia revealed major differences in the nature and preparation of arrow poisons, bow and arrow construction, and poison antidote. Ju|’hoan hunters use leaf-beetle larvae of Diamphidia Gerstaecker and Polyclada Chevrolat (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini) collected from soil around the host plants Commiphora africana (A. Rich.) Engl. and Commiphora angolensis Engl. (Burseracaeae). In the Nyae Nyae area of Namibia, Ju|’hoan hunters use larvae of Diamphidia nigroornata Ståhl. Larvae and adults live above-ground on the plants and eat leaves, but the San collect the underground cocoons to extract the mature larvae. Larval hemolymph is mixed with saliva and applied to arrows. Hai||om hunters boil the milky plant sap of Adenium bohemianum Schinz (Apocynaceae) to reduce it to a thick paste that is applied to their arrows. The socio-cultural, historical, and ecological contexts of the various San groups may determine differences in the sources and preparation of poisons, bow and arrow technology, hunting behaviors, poison potency, and perhaps antidotes.

description: We report the first observation of the non-magnetic Barkhausen effect in van der Waals layered crystals, specifically, between the Td and 1T' phases in type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe2. Thinning down the MoTe2 crystal from bulk material to about 25nm results in a drastic strengthening of the hysteresis in the phase transition, with the difference in critical temperature increasing from 40K to more than 300K. The Barkhausen effect appears for thin samples and the temperature range of the Barkhausen zone grows approximately linearly with reducing sample thickness, pointing to a surface origin of the phase pinning defects. The distribution of the Barkhausen jumps shows a power law behavior, with its critical exponent α = 1.27, in good agreement with existing scaling theory. Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy on MoTe2 crystals of various thicknesses shows results consistent with our transport measurements.
Lack of Self-Averaging in Critical Disordered Systems

description: We consider the sample to sample fluctuations that occur in the value of a thermodynamic quantity $P$ in an ensemble of finite systems with quenched disorder, at equilibrium. The variance of $P$, $V_{P}$, which characterizes these fluctuations is calculated as a function of the systems' linear size $l$, focusing on the behavior at the critical point. The specific model considered is the bond-disordered Ashkin-Teller model on a square lattice. Using Monte Carlo simulations, several bond-disordered Ashkin-Teller models were examined, including the bond-disordered Ising model and the bond-disordered four-state Potts model. It was found that far from criticality the energy, magnetization, specific heat and susceptibility are strongly self averaging, that is $V_{P}\sim l^{-d}$ (where $d=2$ is the dimension). At criticality though, the results indicate that the magnetization $M$ and the susceptibility $χ$ are non self averaging, i.e. $\frac{V_χ}{χ^{2}}, \frac{V_{M}}{M^{2}}\not \rightarrow 0$. The energy $E$ at criticality is weakly self averaging, that is $V_{E}\sim l^{-y_{v}}$ with $0

description: A method for creating scenarios of time series of monthly mean surface temperature at a specific site is developed. It is postulated that surface temperature can be specified as a linear combination of regional and local temperature components, where the regional component is an areal-average free tropospheric temperature such as may be produced by general circulation model climate simulations, and the local component is a response to purely local surface effects. Three models were tested for the North Carolina area, using weighted least squares linear regression techniques.A method for creating scenarios of time series of monthly mean surface temperature at a specific site is developed.

description: We present the results of modelling of the radio spectrum evolution and dispersion measure variations of PSR B1259-63, a pulsar in a binary system with Be star LS 2883. We base our model on a hypothesis that the observed variations of the spectrum are caused by thermal free-free absorption occurring in the pulsar surroundings. We reproduce the observed pulsar spectral shapes in order to examine the influence of the stellar wind of LS 2883 and the equatorial disc on the pulsar's radiation. The simulations of the pulsar's radio emission and its consequent free-free absorption give us an insight into the impact of stellar wind and equatorial disc of LS 2883 has on the shapes of PSR B1259-63 radio spectra, providing an evidence for the connection between gigahertz-peaked spectra phenomenon and the close environment of the pulsar. Additionally, we supplement our model with an external absorbing medium, which results in a good agreement between simulated and observational data.

description: The Effeminists were a group of gay men who left the gay liberation movement to align themselves with radical feminists. Their work is controversial, but also provides important challenges and insights for the study of gay liberation history and its shortcomings. Through reviewing their publications, we see that the effeminists provided unique and generative interrogations of gay male misogyny that still provide insights about gay men’s politics today. In studying effeminism, we are reminded not only that gay liberation was not a perfect political project, and that its shortcomings continue to be relevant to our political situation, but also that theoretical debates about the origins of homophobia and its relation to sexism are not concluded.
Monopole clusters in Abelian projected gauge theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We show that the monopole currents which one obtains in the maximally Abelian gauge of SU(2) fall into two quite distinct classes (when the volume is large enough). In each field configuration there is precisely one cluster that permeates the whole lattice volume. It has a current density and a magnetic screening mass that scale and it produces the whole of the string tension. The remaining clusters have a number density that follows an approximate power law proportional to the inverse cube of l where l is the length of the monopole world line in lattice units. These clusters are localised in space-time with radii which vary as the square root of l. In terms of the radius r these `lumps' have a scale-invariant distribution proportional to (dr/r . 1/{r^4}). Moreover they appear not to contribute at all to the string tension. The fact that they are scale-invariant at small distances would seem to rule out an instanton origin.

description: Massive rare particles have been searched for in the penetrating cosmic radiation using the MACRO apparatus at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories. Liquid scintillators, streamer tubes and nuclear track detectors have been used to search for magnetic monopoles (MMs). Based on no observation of such signals, stringent flux limits are established for MMs as slow as a few 10^(-5)c. The methods based on the scintillator and on the nuclear track subdetectors were also applied to search for nuclearites. Preliminary results of the searches for charged Q-balls are also presented.

description: PURPOSE: To update the recommendations for the use of bisphosphonates in the prevention and treatment of bone disease in multiple myeloma. The Update Committee expanded the guideline to include a discussion of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ).

METHODS: For the 2007 update, an Update Committee composed of members from the full panel completed a review and analysis of data published since 2002. Searches of Medline and the Cochrane Collaboration Library databases were performed.

RECOMMENDATIONS: For multiple myeloma patients who have, on plain radiograph(s) or imaging studies, lytic destruction of bone or spine compression fracture from osteopenia, intravenous pamidronate 90 mg delivered over at least 2 hours or zoledronic acid 4 mg delivered over at least 15 minutes every 3 to 4 weeks is recommended. Clodronate is an alternative bisphosphonate approved worldwide, except in the United States, for oral or intravenous administration. New dosing guidelines for patients with pre-existing renal impairment were added to the zoledronic acid package insert. Although no similar dosing guidelines are available for pamidronate, the Update Committee recommends that clinicians consider reducing the initial pamidronate dose in patients with pre-existing renal impairment. Zoledronic acid has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment and is not recommended in this setting. The Update Committee suggests that bisphosphonate treatment continue for a period of 2 years. At 2 years, physicians should seriously consider discontinuing bisphosphonates in patients with responsive or stable disease, but further use is at the discretion of the treating physician. The Update Committee also discusses measures regarding ONJ.

description: Despite the increasing botnet threat, research in the area of botmaster traceback is limited. The four main obstacles are 1) the low-traffic nature of the bot-to-botmaster link; 2) chains of “stepping stones;” 3) the use of encryption along these chains; and 4) mixing with traffic from other bots. Most existing traceback approaches can address one or two of these issues, but no single approach can overcome all of them. Our early work focused on hijacking and sniffing botnet C&C traffic, especially when it is encrypted. We successfully executed MITM attacks on both IRCS- and HTTPS-based botnets. We further developed a kernel-level approach for obtaining millisecond-precision timing in a virtual machine environment, allowing us to run time-based watermarking code on virtual machines. The major contribution of this work is a novel flow watermarking technique to address all four traceback obstacles simultaneously. Our approach allows us to uniquely identify and trace any IRC-based botnet flow even if 1) it is encrypted (e.g., via SSL/TLS); 2) it passes multiple intermediate stepping stones; and 3) it is mixed with other botnet traffic. Our watermarking scheme relies on adding whitespace padding characters to outgoing IRC messages at the application layer. This produces specific differences in lengths between randomly chosen pairs of messages in a network flow. As a result, our watermarking technique only requires a few dozen packets to be effective. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach that has the potential to allow real-time botmaster traceback across the Internet. We empirically validated the effectiveness of our botnet flow watermarking approach with live experiments on PlanetLab nodes and public IRC servers on different continents. We achieved virtually a 100% detection rate of watermarked (encrypted and unencrypted) IRC traffic with a false positive rate on the order of 10-5. Due to the message queuing and throttling functionality of IRC servers, mixing chaff with the watermarked flow does not significantly impact the effectiveness of our watermarking approach.
Thermodynamic Geometry of Strongly Interacting Matter

description: The thermodynamic geometry formalism is applied to strongly interacting matter to estimate the deconfinement temperature. The curved thermodynamic metric for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is evaluated on the basis of lattice data, whereas the hadron resonance gas model is used for the hadronic sector. Since the deconfinement transition is a crossover, the geometric criterion used to define the \mbox{(pseudo-)critical} temperature, as a function of the baryonchemical potential $μ_B$, is $R(T,μ_B)=0$, where $R$ is the scalar curvature. The (pseudo-)critical temperature, $T_c$, resulting from QCD thermodynamic geometry is in good agreement with lattice and phenomenological freeze-out temperature estimates. The crossing temperature, $T_h$, evaluated by the hadron resonance gas, which suffers of some model dependence, is larger than $T_c$ (about $20\%$) signaling remnants of confinement above the transition.

description: PURPOSE: Expression of erbB2 and/or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is associated with biologic aggressiveness and poor prognosis in malignant salivary gland tumors (MSGTs). This phase II study was conducted to determine the antitumor activity of lapatinib, a dual inhibitor of EGFR and erbB2 tyrosine kinase activity, in MSGTs.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with progressive, recurrent, or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) immunohistochemically expressing at least 1+ EGFR and/or 2+ erbB2 were treated with lapatinib 1,500 mg daily, in a two-stage cohort. Patients with non-ACC MSGTs were treated as a separate single-stage cohort.

RESULTS: Of 62 patients screened, 29 of 33 (88%) ACC and 28 of 29 (97%) non-ACC patients expressed EGFR and/or erbB2. Forty patients with progressive disease were enrolled onto the study. Among 19 assessable ACC patients, there were no objective responses, 15 patients (79%) had stable disease (SD), nine patients (47%) had SD > or = 6 months, and four patients (21%) had progressive disease (PD). For 17 assessable non-ACC patients, there were no objective responses, eight patients (47%) had SD, four patients (24%) had SD > or = 6 months, and nine patients (53%) had PD. The most frequent adverse events were grade 1 to 2 diarrhea, fatigue, and rash. Eight paired tumor biopsies for correlative studies were procured; results did not correlate with clinical outcome.

CONCLUSION: Although no responses were observed, lapatinib was well tolerated, with prolonged tumor stabilization of > or = 6 months in 36% (95% CI, 21% to 54%) of assessable patients. The antitumor effects of lapatinib in MGSTs appear mainly cytostatic, hence evaluation of other molecular targeted agents, or combinations with lapatinib, may be considered. Continued efforts should be made to gain better understanding into the biology of this heterogeneous group of malignancies.
A quark action for very coarse lattices

description: We investigate a tree-level O(a^3)-accurate action, D234c, on coarse lattices. For the improvement terms we use tadpole-improved coefficients, with the tadpole contribution measured by the mean link in Landau gauge. We measure the hadron spectrum for quark masses near that of the strange quark. We find that D234c shows much better rotational invariance than the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert action, and that mean-link tadpole improvement leads to smaller finite-lattice-spacing errors than plaquette tadpole improvement. We obtain accurate ratios of lattice spacings using a convenient ``Galilean quarkonium'' method. We explore the effects of possible O(alpha_s) changes to the improvement coefficients, and find that the two leading coefficients can be independently tuned: hadron masses are most sensitive to the clover coefficient, while hadron dispersion relations are most sensitive to the third derivative coefficient C_3. Preliminary non-perturbative tuning of these coefficients yields values that are consistent with the expected size of perturbative corrections.

TeV Burst of Gamma-Ray Bursts and Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
Creators: name: Totani, Tomonori
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some recent experiments detecting very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays above 10-20 TeV independently reported VHE bursts for some of bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). If these signals are truly from GRBs, these GRBs must emit a much larger amount of energy as VHE gamma-rays than in the ordinary photon energy range of GRBs (keV-MeV). We show that such extreme phenomena can be reasonably explained by synchrotron radiation of protons accelerated to \sim 10^{20-21} eV, which has been predicted by Totani (1998a). Protons seem to carry about (m_p/m_e) times larger energy than electrons, and hence the total energy liberated by one GRB becomes as large as \sim 10^{56} (ΔΩ/ 4 π) ergs. Therefore a strong beaming of GRB emission is highly likely. Extension of the VHE spectrum beyond 20 TeV gives a nearly model-independent lower limit of the Lorentz factor of GRBs, as $γ\gtilde 500$. Furthermore, our model gives the correct energy range and time variability of ordinary keV-MeV gamma-rays of GRBs by synchrotron radiation of electrons. Therefore the VHE bursts of GRBs strongly support the hypothesis that ultra high energy cosmic rays observed on the Earth are produced by GRBs.

For that purpose we have developed a new model to calculate the sequential resonant currrent trhough a superlattice based in the TRansfer Hamiltonian Method. The tunneling current presents new features due to new effective tunneling chanels coming from the photoside bands induced by the AC field. Our theoretical results are in good agreement with the available experimental evidence.

description: The use of flexibility for demand shifting will play a vital role in the future Swiss power system that mainly relies on non-dispatchable generation. Space heating currently accounts for around 30% of final energy consumption in Switzerland. This proportion is expected to remain similar until 2050. With increased rates of electrification projected for the heating sector (i.e. replacement of fuel-based systems with heat pumps), heating demand has the potential to serve as an important source of flexibility. To ensure occupant comfort, flexibility potential of the space heating needs then to be first evaluated at the building scale before being upscaled to the national level. The aim of this article is to present the quantification of flexibility using the buildings thermal mass at the archetype level. Representative buildings archetype for the Swiss building stock are simulated using the UBEM tool CESAR-P for different patterns of the indoor temperature set point. These preliminary results were used to identify the parameters mainly impacting the power demand reduction, the rebound effect and the indoor temperature reduction. Future work should enable the generation of representative profiles of the flexibility potential for the different groups of Swiss buildings.

description: Sanidine separates from pumice of the early Miocene Peach Springs Tuff (PST) are concordantly dated at 18.5 {plus minus} 0.2 Ma by two isotopic techniques. The PST is the only known unit that can be correlated between isolated outcrops of Miocene strata from the central Mojave Desert of southeastern California to the western Colorado Plateau in Arizona, across five structural provinces, a distance of 350 km. Thus the age of the PST is important to structural and paleogeographic reconstructions of a large region. Biotite and sanidine separates from bulk samples of the PST from zones of welding and vapor-phase alteration have not produced consistent ages by the K-Ar method. Published ages of mineral separates from 17 localities ranged from 16.2 to 20.5 Ma. Discordant {sup 40}Ar/{sup 39}Ar incremental release spectra were obtained for one biotite and two of the sanidine separates. Ages that correspond to the last gas increments are old as 27 Ma. The {sup 40}Ar/{sup 39}Ar incremental release determinations on sanidine separated from blocks of PST pumice yield ages of 18.3 {plus minus} 0.3 and 18.6 {plus minus} 0.4 Ma. Laser fusion measurements yield a mean age of 18.51 {plus minus} 0.10. The results suggest that sanidine andmore » biotite K-Ar ages older than about 18.5 Ma are due to inherited Ar from pre-Tertiary contaminants, which likely were incorporated into the tuff during deposition. Sanidine K-Ar ages younger than 18 Ma probably indicate incomplete extraction of radiogenic {sup 40}Ar, whereas laser fusion dates of biotite and hornblende younger than 18 Ma likely are due to postdepositional alteration.« less
LEAP: An Innovative Direction Dependent Ionospheric Calibration Scheme for Low Frequency Arrays

description: The ambitious scientific goals of the SKA require a matching capability for calibration of atmospheric propagation errors, which contaminate the observed signals. We demonstrate a scheme for correcting the direction-dependent ionospheric and instrumental phase effects at the low frequencies and with the wide fields of view planned for SKA-Low. It leverages bandwidth smearing, to filter-out signals from off-axis directions, allowing the measurement of the direction-dependent antenna-based gains in the visibility domain; by doing this towards multiple directions it is possible to calibrate across wide fields of view. This strategy removes the need for a global sky model, therefore all directions are independent. We use MWA results at 88 and 154 MHz under various weather conditions to characterise the performance and applicability of the technique. We conclude that this method is suitable to measure and correct for temporal fluctuations and direction-dependent spatial ionospheric phase distortions on a wide range of scales: both larger and smaller than the array size. The latter are the most intractable and pose a major challenge for future instruments. Moreover this scheme is an embarrassingly parallel process, as multiple directions can be processed independently and simultaneously. This is an important consideration for the SKA, where the current planned architecture is one of compute-islands with limited interconnects. Current implementation of the algorithm and on-going developments are discussed.

description: Addressing vaccine compliance problems is of particular relevance and significance to public health. Despite resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases and public awareness of vaccine importance, why is it so challenging to boost population vaccination coverage to desired levels especially in the wake of declining vaccine uptake? To understand this puzzling phenomenon, here we study how social imitation dynamics of vaccination can be impacted by the presence of imperfect vaccine, which only confers partial protection against the disease. Besides weighing the perceived cost of vaccination with the risk of infection, the effectiveness of vaccination is also an important factor driving vaccination decisions. We discover that there can exist multiple stable vaccination equilibria if vaccine efficacy is below a certain threshold. Furthermore, our bifurcation analysis reveals the occurrence of hysteresis loops of vaccination rate with respect to changes in the perceived vaccination cost as well as in the vaccination effectiveness. Moreover, we find that hysteresis is more likely to arise in spatial populations than in well-mixed populations, even for parameter choices that do not allow for bifurcation in the latter. Our work shows that hysteresis can appear as an unprecedented roadblock for the recovery of vaccination uptake, thereby helping explain the persistence of vaccine compliance problem.
The scattering of FRBs by the intergalactic medium: variations, strength and dependence on dispersion measures

description: The scattering of fast radio bursts (FRBs) by the intergalactic medium (IGM) is explored using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We confirm that the scattering by the clumpy IGM has significant line-of-sight variations. We demonstrate that the scattering by the IGM in the voids and walls of the cosmic web is weak, but it can be significantly enhanced by the gas in clusters and filaments. The observed non-monotonic dependence of the FRB widths on the dispersion measures (DM) cannot determine whether the IGM is an important scattering matter or not. The IGM may dominate the scattering of some FRBs, and the host galaxy dominates others. For the former case, the scattering should be primarily caused by the medium in clusters. A mock sample of 500 sources shows that $τ_{\rm{IGM}} \propto \rm{DM_{IGM}}^{1.6-2.1}$ at $z<1.5$. Assuming that the turbulence follows Kolmogorov scaling, we find that an outer scale of $L_0\sim 5\,$pc is required to make $τ_{\rm{IGM}} \sim 1-10\,$ms at $ν=1\, $ GHz. The required $L_0\sim 5\, $pc can alleviate the tension in the timescales of turbulent heating and cooling but is still $\sim 4$ orders of magnitude lower than the presumed injection scale of turbulence in the IGM. The gap is expected to be effectively shortened if the simulation resolution is further increased. The mechanisms that may further reduce the gap are shortly discussed. If future observations can justify the role of the IGM in the broadening of FRBs, it can help to probe the gas in clusters and filaments.

description: Single photon emitters (SPEs) play an important role in a number of quantum information tasks such as quantum key distributions. In these protocols, telecom wavelength photons are desired due to their low transmission loss in optical fibers. In this paper, we present a study of bright single-photon emitters in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) emitting in the telecom range. We find that these emitters are photostable and bright at room temperature with a count rate of ~ MHz. Together with the fact that SiC is a growth and fabrication-friendly material, our result may pave the way for its future application in quantum communication technology applications.

description: We consider the reaction ee ->qqQQ as a test of lepton number non-conservation in the framework of the left-right-symmetric electroweak model. The main contributions to this process are due to Majorana neutrino exchange in t-channel and doubly charged Higgs (Delta{--}) exchange in s-channel with a pair of right-handed weak bosons (WR) as intermediate state. We show that in a linear ee collider with the collision energy of 1 TeV (1.5 TeV) the cross section of this process is 0.01 fb (1 fb), and it will, for the anticipated luminosity of 10**{35} cm**{-2}, be detectable below the WR threshold. We study the sensitivity of the reaction on the masses of the heavy neutrino, WR and Delta{--}.

title: Finding Heteronormativity in the Raw/Bold Beauty Project Artworks, and Defying Heteronormativity In the Artworks of “Je T'aime Moi Aussi” and “Alison Lapper Pregnant.”

description: Herein lies a critique of various artworks by the Raw and Bold Beauty Projects NYC (2006 & 2015), Olivier Fermiello’s “Je t’aime moi aussi” (2014) photographs, and Marc Quinn’s Alison Lapper Pregnant (2000) statue, created by using various feminist and feminist disability studies ideals and outlooks in regards to pointing out ableist and heteronormative ideals and ideology in Western, patriarchal society media and the artworks that defy the typical heteronormative ideals concerning women with disabilities. The critiques will separate out what I deem as the positive and negative “markers” that depict women with disabilities as unique and sexual (unless they identify as asexual). The more positive images will show the subject using her own agency, subverting the oppressive male gaze in her own way because they will not be trying to fit into the patriarchal mold since the subjects would never be accepted by typical patriarchal norms. More negative images will depict the subjects as sexual women with disabilities, but will also reproduce typical, Western, patriarchal norms that all women under the male gaze are forced into. By comparing the two, the normalness of sexuality and disability will become apparent by showing the subjects through their own lens on their own terms (although all of the photographs are mediated by the photographer’s gaze) – not by trying to fit into a mold that will never accept them. The subjects of the artworks will plainly be making their own impact on their artworks by creating their own sexual spaces within the artworks; excessive use of Photoshop, unnatural poses, and being the center of their own artworks are just some of the ways that the women shown will positively use their artworks to display and show their own unique agency and sexuality with a disability.
