description: The impetus for this catalogue is an art exhibition, And Another Thing, which took place in 2011. Its focus concerned nonanthropocentrism, one of the primary tenets shared by various then-emerging philosophies grouped under the mantle of speculative realism. This volume serves to document that exhibition and to expand on two of its curatorial gambits: to prioritize art historical contexts for contemporary philosophy (rather than the other way around), and to apprehend artworks as historically specific objects of philosophy. This historical orientation distinguishes And Another Thingfrom more recent art world attention to speculative realism; both the early exhibition and this expanded catalogue are intended to highlight that contribution to ongoing interdisciplinary discussions.

Symbolic walk in regular networks

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We find that a symbolic walk (performed by a walker with memory given by a Bernoulli shift) is able to distinguish between the random or chaotic topology of a given network. We show this result by means of studying the undirected baker network, which is defined by following the Ulam approach for the baker transformation in order to introduce the effect of deterministic chaos into its structure. The chaotic topology is revealed through the central role played by the nodes associated with the positions corresponding to the shortest periodic orbits of the generating map. They are the overwhelmingly most visited nodes in the limit cycles at which the symbolic walker asymptotically arrives. Our findings contribute to link deterministic chaotic dynamics with the properties of networks constructed using the Ulam approach.

International Conference on Design Principles & Practices Workshop & Presentation - Narrative Dioramas: Capturing new knowledge generated through storymaking within co-design activities

description: Conference: 2020 International Conference on Design Principles & Practices
Narrative Dioramas: Capturing new knowledge generated through storymaking within co-design activities focuses on three main generative methods within co-design activities: probes, prototypes, and toolkits. These methods focus on providing guidance for participants to interpret, make, and reflect upon a lived experience within a workshop. These generative methods help make things that are normally unobservable available as resources for design decisions and rationale. While methods such as interviews and observations give designers access to the explicit and observable, generative methods afford access to the tacit and implicit aspects of users’ lives. Generative making methods produce insights in many variations, sometimes taking the shape of performance, forms, and future imaginaries. This research is currently investigating how these variations emerge, and are shared through stories within workshops, as well as how best to analyse this story data within spaces of emergence. One motivation for trying to capture and analyse these stories as they emerge is twofold: 1) to help minimise the time and energy spent on data analysis far after the workshop occurs, and 2) to provide a platform for the participants to take a more active role in the analysis. Co-design methods have been while established, while a mode of analysis for generated data has not. This research seeks to develop a mode to attune to, and analyse, emergent data surfaced through stories.

description: At the heart of speculative realism (SR) and object-oriented ontology (OOO) is the notion of a flat ontology. Manuel DeLanda defines a flat ontology as “one made exclusively of unique, singular individuals, differing in spatio-temporal scale but not in ontological status.”1Within the context of SR and OOO, these “singular individuals” are human and nonhuman, animate and inanimate. The very notion of a flat ontology is spatial in its conception. It provides a spatial metaphor for a dense and complicated field of both interaction and isolation, where things (read as human and nonhuman) are at moments drawn in relation to one another, and at moments withdrawn and discrete.

description: Epithelization, the process whereby an epithelium covers a cell-free surface, is not only central to wound healing but also pivotal in embryonic morphogenesis, regeneration, and cancer. In the context of wound healing, the epithelization mechanisms differ depending on the sizes and geometries of the wounds as well as on the cell type while a unified theoretical decription is still lacking. Here, we used a barrier-based protocol that allows for making large arrays of well-controlled circular model wounds within an epithelium at confluence, without injuring any cells. We propose a physical model that takes into account border forces, friction with the substrate, and tissue rheology. Despite the presence of a contractile actomyosin cable at the periphery of the wound, epithelization was mostly driven by border protrusive activity. Closure dynamics was quantified by an epithelization coefficient $D = σ_p/ξ$ defined as the ratio of the border protrusive stress $σ_p$ to the friction coefficient $ξ$ between epithelium and substrate. The same assay and model showed a high sensitivity to the RasV12 mutation on human epithelial cells, demonstrating the general applicability of the approach and its potential to quantitatively characterize metastatic transformations.

Such deformations may become a concern as the size of the CCC increases (e.g. when used as a diagnostic device in a particle accelerator facility involving beamlines with a large diameter). In addition to static deformations, this paper also discusses the effect of mechanical vibrations on the CCC performance.

Arbitrary Objects: Minimalism and Nonanthropocentrism

Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2016

description: In his influential 1965 essay “Specific Objects,” sculp-tor Donald Judd surveyed the “new work” in painting and sculpture being created by his contemporaries in the New York scene. He noted with satisfaction that the “part by part” compositional structure he identified with European tradition and metaphoric “anthropo-morphism” was giving way to a holistic, environmental approach to three-dimensional space that he equated with a new kind of realism. “Three dimensions,” Judd wrote, “are real space. That gets rid of the problem of illusionism and of literal space, space in and around marks and colors—which is riddance of one of the salient and most objectionable relics of European art.”

description: The electrostatic behavior of a prototypical three-dimensional topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$(111) is investigated by a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of the distribution of Rb atoms adsorbed on the surface. The positively charged ions are screened by both free electrons residing in the topological surface state as well as band bending induced quantum well states of the conduction band, leading to a surprisingly short screening length. Combining a theoretical description of the potential energy with STM-based atomic manipulation, we demonstrate the ability to create tailored electronic potential landscapes on topological surfaces with atomic-scale control.

Slow Motion Matters: A Slow Motion Enhanced Network for Weakly Supervised Temporal Action Localization

description: Weakly supervised temporal action localization (WTAL) aims to localize actions in untrimmed videos with only weak supervision information (e.g. video-level labels). Most existing models handle all input videos with a fixed temporal scale. However, such models are not sensitive to actions whose pace of the movements is different from the ``normal" speed, especially slow-motion action instances, which complete the movements with a much slower speed than their counterparts with a normal speed. Here arises the slow-motion blurred issue: It is hard to explore salient slow-motion information from videos at ``normal" speed. In this paper, we propose a novel framework termed Slow Motion Enhanced Network (SMEN) to improve the ability of a WTAL network by compensating its sensitivity on slow-motion action segments. The proposed SMEN comprises a Mining module and a Localization module. The mining module generates mask to mine slow-motion-related features by utilizing the relationships between the normal motion and slow motion; while the localization module leverages the mined slow-motion features as complementary information to improve the temporal action localization results. Our proposed framework can be easily adapted by existing WTAL networks and enable them be more sensitive to slow-motion actions. Extensive experiments on three benchmarks are conducted, which demonstrate the high performance of our proposed framework.
“War is not the only trauma:” Rethinking Psychosocial healing in complex emergencies

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Social service
Mental health

description: War inevitably leads to a degree of psychological trauma among affected populations. This paper critiques Western-based, clinical interventions as detrimental to an already demoralized population. Ager’s (2002) framework of psychosocial intervention – human capacity, social ecology, and culture and values – is appropriate in the context of complex emergencies. Building upon an ecosystems perspective, Ager’s framework considers the whole individual and promotes strengths and resiliencies. Social workers are ideal facilitators of this type of community-based, culturally-salient, psychosocial programming, due to its application of the field’s core principles and its commitment to empowering community members to participate in their own recovery.

We demonstrate the power of bosonization in elucidating the structure of a multi-component fermion theory with chiral and internal symmetries. Many remarkable features and quantum symmetries in such a system are most readily uncovered in the bosonized form of the original fermion theory.

description: Whether anxious and lonely or brave and hubristic, humans have staked out for themselves a privileged position, alone, at the center of everything. Anthropocentrism is the name for this ontological lynchpin that binds together centuries of art, philosophy, social theory, and scientific inquiry. The exhibition And Another Thing (2011) was part of an alternate movement toward nonanthropocentrism, an effort to dislodge the human from the center of discussion, to enrich the concept of being, and to open the very world itself to all things that comprise it. The world is brimming with things, and seen from a nonanthropocentric vantage, all things are equal, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral. Nonanthropocentrism repositions humans as just “another thing,” no more precious or central than any other.

Decision-Making in Young Adults: Towards a Better Understanding of Individual Differences in Decision-Making Anxiety

Year: 2020
Subjects: decision-making

description: The study of individual differences provides insights into how person-specific factors influence decision-making, either before, during or after a decision is made. This dissertation examined a specific individual difference in decision-making: decision-making anxiety. With the adoption of a situation-specific approach, a series of three studies allowed for the conceptual definition of this construct, the development of a measure, and the exploration of its role in the decisionmaking process. Study 1 focused on the development and validation of the Decision-Making Anxiety Inventory. The results demonstrated that the 8-item scale is a useful measure of decision-making anxiety, a superordinate construct, best understood by the interrelations of its three factors of anxiety, worry, and emotionality. Moreover, this study situated decision-making anxiety alongside existing decision-making and personality constructs. In Study 2, the relationships between decision-making anxiety and objective and perceived decision-making competence, and perceived decision quality were examined. This study also included crossvalidation from peers. Findings revealed that anxious decision-makers viewed themselves as poor decision-makers who do not make quality decisions. This perception was not supported by the results from objective measures, nor from peer ratings. In Study 3, the role of decisionmaking anxiety was explored in a specific decision-making context: job search. Data was gathered at two time points, two months apart. This study investigated whether decision-making anxiety led to poorer job choice outcomes, via its relationship with job search behaviours. Results demonstrated that decision-making anxiety was a significant negative predictor of job search effort and intensity, and the focused, exploratory, and haphazard job search strategies. However, decision-making anxiety did not predict the more distal outcomes. Overall, this dissertation highlights that decision-making anxiety is a relevant individual difference in decision-making, which appears to influence individuals’ perceptions about their decisionmaking skills, their experience of decision outcomes, and their decision-related behaviours

In this, Base 5 Aluminum Stack (2008) thwarts what object-oriented philosopher Graham Harman calls the “overmining” of its content, i.e., the impulse to write human interpretation over a thing’s material facticity. In Andre’s work, all questions of meaning generation become self-reflexive.

description: GRO J1008$-$57 is a high-mass X-ray binary for which several claims of a cyclotron resonance scattering feature near 80 keV have been reported. We use NuSTAR, Suzaku, and Swift data from its giant outburst of November 2012 to confirm the existence of the 80 keV feature and perform the most sensitive search to date for cyclotron scattering features at lower energies. We find evidence for a 78$^{+3}_{-2}$ keV line in the NuSTAR and Suzaku data at $> 4σ$ significance, confirming the detection using Suzaku alone by Yamamoto et al. (2014). A search of both the time-integrated and phase-resolved data rules out a fundamental at lower energies with optical depth larger than 5% of the 78 keV line. These results indicate that GRO J1008$-$57 has a magnetic field of $6.7\times10^{12} (1+z)$ G, the highest of known accreting pulsars.

description: We study the asymptotic behaviour of the resolvents $({\mathcal A}^\varepsilon+I)^{-1}$ of elliptic second-order differential operators ${\mathcal A}^\varepsilon$ in ${\mathbb R}^d$ with periodic rapidly oscillating coefficients, as the period $\varepsilon$ goes to zero. The class of operators covered by our analysis includes both the "classical" case of uniformly elliptic families (where the ellipticity constant does not depend on $\varepsilon$) and the "double-porosity" case of coefficients that take contrasting values of order one and of order $\varepsilon^2$ in different parts of the period cell. We provide a construction for the leading order term of the "operator asymptotics" of $({\mathcal A}^\varepsilon+I)^{-1}$ in the sense of operator-norm convergence and prove order $O(\varepsilon)$ remainder estimates.

Plague
Creators: name: Byfleet, Rose
Publisher: name: Odeuropa
Year: 2023

description: The recurrence and spread of plague in Europe over four centuries, beginning with the Black Death in 1347, engendered distinctive olfactory associations. 'Bad' air or 'miasma', associated with filth and 'corruption' of the air and identifiable by its stench, was thought to directly cause plague. Scientific texts focussing on plague differentiate between 'foul' (causal) and 'sweet' (preventative) odours, which typically co-existed during periods of pestilence as the smell of sickness blended with the scent of prophylaxis. Foul odours, whether in public spaces or in the sick room, needed to be removed or countered with sweet (e.g. flowers, herbs, incense) or particularly pungent smells (e.g pitch, burned goat's horn, gunpowder). Municipal and church authorities accordingly arranged to fumigate cities with woodsmoke and, from the sixteenth century, gunpowder. Householders were urged to keep domestic interiors clean and sweet, free of potential sources of stench and to air, fumigate and scent rooms and textiles with fresh plants and perfumes. Individuals were encouraged to take further preventative action using vinegar-soaked sponges and scented accessories to create a personal cloud of protective fragrance (Welch 2012, 21). Evidence for concern with plague-inducing stench and the use of perfumes to counter it largely comes from sixteenth-century Italian medical texts and their English translations. This reflects the authority of Italian medicine and public health practices and the impact of the Italian plague of 1575-78 (Cohn 2010; 22-33; Henderson 2019, 3-5; Wear 2000. 314). However, theory and practice can radically differ: even if the advice was followed to the letter, what individuals smelled and experienced in the presence of certain scents, is impossible to reconstruct.

description: We analyze the polynomial part of the Iwasawa realization of the coset representative of non compact symmetric Riemannian spaces. We start by studying the role of Kostant's principal SU(2)_P subalgebra of simple Lie algebras, and how it determines the structure of the nilpotent subalgebras. This allows us to compute the maximal degree of the polynomials for all faithful representations of Lie algebras. In particular the metric coefficients are related to the scalar kinetic terms while the representation of electric and magnetic charges is related to the coupling of scalars to vector field strengths as they appear in the Lagrangian. We consider symmetric scalar manifolds in N-extended supergravity in various space-time dimensions, elucidating various relations with the underlying Jordan algebras and normed Hurwitz algebras. For magic supergravity theories, our results are consistent with the Tits-Satake projection of symmetric spaces and the nilpotency degree turns out to depend only on the space-time dimension of the theory. These results should be helpful within a deeper investigation of the corresponding supergravity theory, e.g. in studying ultraviolet properties of maximal supergravity in various dimensions.

description: Huge volume of data from domain specific applications such as medical, financial, telephone, shopping records and individuals are regularly generated. Sharing of these data is proved to be beneficial for data mining application. Since data mining often involves data that contains personally identifiable information and therefore releasing such data may result in privacy breaches. On one hand such data is an important asset to business decision making by analyzing it. On the other hand data privacy concerns may prevent data owners from sharing information for data analysis. In order to share data while preserving privacy, data owner must come up with a solution which achieves the dual goal of privacy preservation as well as accuracy of data mining task mainly clustering and classification. Privacy Preserving Data Publishing (PPDP) is a study of eliminating privacy threats like linkage attack while preserving data utility by anonymizing data set before publishing. Proposed work is an extension to k-anonymization where Privacy Gain (PrGain) has been computed for selective anonymization for set of tuples. Classification and clustering characteristics of original data and anonymized data using proposed algorithm have been evaluated in terms of information loss, execution time, and privacy achieved. Algorithm has been processed against standard data sets and analysis shows that values for sensitive attributes are being preserved with minimal information loss.

description: Modeling gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is an important topic in systems biology. Although there has been much work focusing on various specific systems, the generic behavior of GRNs with continuous variables is still elusive. In particular, it is not clear typically how attractors partition among the three types of orbits: steady state, periodic and chaotic, and how the dynamical properties change with network's topological characteristics. In this work, we first investigated these questions in random GRNs with different network sizes, connectivity, fraction of inhibitory links and transcription regulation rules. Then we searched for the core motifs that govern the dynamic behavior of large GRNs. We show that the stability of a random GRN is typically governed by a few embedding motifs of small sizes, and therefore can in general be understood in the context of these short motifs. Our results provide insights for the study and design of genetic networks.

description: We analyze adaptive mesh-refining algorithms in the frame of boundary element methods (BEM) and the coupling of finite elements and boundary elements (FEM-BEM). Adaptivity is driven by the two-level error estimator proposed by Ernst P. Stephan, Norbert Heuer, and coworkers in the frame of BEM and FEM-BEM or by the residual error estimator introduced by Birgit Faermann for BEM for weakly-singular integral equations. We prove that in either case the usual adaptive algorithm drives the associated error estimator to zero. Emphasis is put on the fact that the error estimators considered are {not even globally equivalent to weighted-residual error estimators for which recently convergence with quasi-optimal algebraic rates has been derived.
Status of hadronic light-by-light scattering in the muon g-2

description: We give an update on the status of the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon g-2. We review recent work by various groups, list some of the open problems and give an outlook on how to better control the uncertainty of this contribution. This is necessary in order to fully profit from planned future muon g-2 experiments to test the Standard Model. Despite some recent developments, we think that the estimate a_{mu}^{HLbL} = (116 \pm 40) x 10^{-11} still gives a fair description of the current situation.

Shock Structure and Shock Heating in the Galactic Central Molecular Zone

description: We present maps of a large number of dense molecular gas tracers across the Central Molecular Zone of our Galaxy. The data were taken with the CSIRO/CASS Mopra telescope in Large Projects in the 1.3cm, 7mm, and 3mm wavelength regimes. Here, we focus on the brightness of the shock tracers SiO and HNCO, molecules that are liberated from dust grains under strong (SiO) and weak (HNCO) shocks. The shocks may have occurred when the gas enters the bar regions and the shock differences could be due to differences in the moving cloud mass. Based on tracers of ionizing photons, it is unlikely that the morphological differences are due to selective photo-dissociation of the molecules. We also observe direct heating of molecular gas in strongly shocked zones, with a high SiO/HNCO ratios, where temperatures are determined from the transitions of ammonia. Strong shocks appear to be the most efficient heating source of molecular gas, apart from high energy emission emitted by the central supermassive black hole Sgr A* and the processes within the extreme star formation region Sgr B2.

description: Valie Export’s A Perfect Pair (1987) reveals the insidious nature of commercialism by taking literally the idea that the body of a consumer can become a “walking billboard.” The video shows how a human subject’s autonomy is consumed and reduced to the point of becoming a floating signifier. Export emphasizes the already-objectified female subject of consumer capitalism, while also extending an equal-opportunity attitude toward male objectification.

description: I review the status of lattice-QCD calculations relevant to quark flavor physics. The recent availability of physical-mass ensembles with large physical volumes generated by a growing number of lattice collaborations is an exciting development and I discuss their impact on the landscape of lattice flavor physics calculations. The activities of the newly formed FLAG-2 collaboration which provides averages of quantities calculated in lattice QCD that are relevant for quark flavor physics are also discussed. My talk covers (a subset of) the same quantities reviewed by FLAG-2, including results for $K$, $D_{(s)}$, and $B_{(s)}$ meson decay constants and semileptonic decay form factors, as well as for hadronic matrix elements of neutral ($K$, $D$, and $B_{(s)}$) meson mixing. I also briefly discuss recent progress towards understanding nonleptonic $K$ decay and long-distance contributions to $Δm_K$.

description: Regina José Galindo’s work questions the ontological status of the female subject. Her photograph No perdemos nada con nacer (2000) shows the artist’s naked body, bagged and discarded, in a litter-strewn landscape. The work operates through overt abjection, while also making reference to the convention of viewing the female body as messy and requiring containment.

description: In Wall/Floor Positions (1968), Bruce Nauman leans, props, cantilevers, and rests his body on and against the wall and floor of his studio to imitate the manner in which minimalist sculpture is positioned in relation to gallery architecture. Nauman’s mimicry effaces his human significance by making his own body equivalent to the industrial materials deployed in early minimalist sculptures. Continuing minimalism’s exploration of space through relationships, the artist’s body is used as a material with which to measure and study the room’s dimensions.

PS-Transformer: Learning Sparse Photometric Stereo Network using Self-Attention Mechanism
Creators: name: Ikehata, Satoshi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Existing deep calibrated photometric stereo networks basically aggregate observations under different lights based on the pre-defined operations such as linear projection and max pooling. While they are effective with the dense capture, simple first-order operations often fail to capture the high-order interactions among observations under small number of different lights. To tackle this issue, this paper presents a deep sparse calibrated photometric stereo network named {\it PS-Transformer} which leverages the learnable self-attention mechanism to properly capture the complex inter-image interactions. PS-Transformer builds upon the dual-branch design to explore both pixel-wise and image-wise features and individual feature is trained with the intermediate surface normal supervision to maximize geometric feasibility. A new synthetic dataset named CyclesPS+ is also presented with the comprehensive analysis to successfully train the photometric stereo networks. Extensive results on the publicly available benchmark datasets demonstrate that the surface normal prediction accuracy of the proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms with the same number of input images and is even comparable to that of dense algorithms which input 10$\times$ larger number of images.

Supersymmetry Breaking Effects using the Pure Spinor Formalism of the Superstring

description: The SO(32) heterotic superstring on a Calabi-Yau manifold can spontaneously break supersymmetry at one-loop order even when it is unbroken at tree-level. It is known that calculating the supersymmetry-breaking effects in this model gives a relatively accessible test case of the subtleties of superstring perturbation theory in the RNS formalism. In the present paper, we calculate the relevant amplitudes in the pure spinor approach to superstring perturbation theory, and show that the regulator used in computing loop amplitudes in the pure spinor formalism leads to subtleties somewhat analogous to the more familiar subtleties of the RNS approach.
