description: This paper studies the choosability of signed planar graphs. We prove that every signed planar graph is 5-choosable and that there is a signed planar graph which is not 4-choosable while the unsigned graph is 4-choosable. For each $k \in \{3,4,5,6\}$, every signed planar graph without circuits of length $k$ is 4-choosable. Furthermore, every signed planar graph without circuits of length 3 and of length 4 is 3-choosable. We construct a signed planar graph with girth 4 which is not 3-choosable but the unsigned graph is 3-choosable.

Anxiety, Freedom, and the Future of the Past
Creators: name: Lundsgaard-Leth, Kresten
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2015

description: In this article I present a close reading of Section 5 in Søren Kierkegaard’s The Concept of Anxiety. After an introduction which alludes to the literary fiction of Jonathan Franzen, the article turns directly to Section 5, in which Kierkegaard’s pseudonym, Vigilius Haufniensis, unfolds the phenomenon of anxiety as the original experience of existential freedom. In the first step of the argument, I argue that the. transition of the human being from its natural state into an existence of ethically qualified freedom is a process which must be understood as a peculiar self–disturbance at the heart of subjectivity. In a second step, I claim that this self–disturbance is connected to the essential normativity of language that human beings always already find themselves in. In a concluding discussion, I suggest the interpretation that the linguistical self–disturbance of a human self implies an ethical requalification of the possibilities of one’s past as well as of one’s future.

description: In this paper, we show how to discretize the abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory on generic planar lattices/graphs (with or without translational symmetries) embedded in arbitrary 2D closed orientable manifolds. We find that, as long as a one-to-one correspondence between vertices and faces can be defined on the graph such that each face is paired up with a neighboring vertex (and vice versa), a discretized Chern-Simons theory can be constructed consistently. We further verify that all the essential properties of the Chern-Simons gauge theory are preserved in the discretized setup. In addition, we find that the existence of such a one-to-one correspondence is not only a sufficient condition for discretizing a Chern-Simons gauge theory but, for the discretized theory to be nonsingular and to preserve some key properties of the topological field theory, this correspondence is also a necessary one. A specific example will then be provided, in which we discretize the Chern-Simons gauge theory on a tetrahedron.

description: Despite the proliferation of explainable AI (XAI) methods, little is understood about end-users' explainability needs and behaviors around XAI explanations. To address this gap and contribute to understanding how explainability can support human-AI interaction, we conducted a mixed-methods study with 20 end-users of a real-world AI application, the Merlin bird identification app, and inquired about their XAI needs, uses, and perceptions. We found that participants desire practically useful information that can improve their collaboration with the AI, more so than technical system details. Relatedly, participants intended to use XAI explanations for various purposes beyond understanding the AI's outputs: calibrating trust, improving their task skills, changing their behavior to supply better inputs to the AI, and giving constructive feedback to developers. Finally, among existing XAI approaches, participants preferred part-based explanations that resemble human reasoning and explanations. We discuss the implications of our findings and provide recommendations for future XAI design.

description: Hadronic light-by-light scattering is one of the virtual processes that causes the gyromagnetic factor $g$ of the muon to deviate from the value of two predicted by Dirac's theory. This process makes one of the largest contributions to the uncertainty of the Standard Model prediction for the muon $(g-2)$. Lattice QCD allows for a first-principles approach to computing this non-perturbative effect. In order to avoid power-law finite-size artifacts generated by virtual photons in lattice simulations, we follow a coordinate-space approach involving a weighted integral over the vertices of the QCD four-point function of the electromagnetic current carried by the quarks. Here we present in detail the semi-analytical calculation of the QED part of the amplitude, employing position-space perturbation theory in continuous, infinite four-dimensional Euclidean space. We also provide some useful information about a computer code for the numerical implementation of our approach that has been made public at https://github.com/RJHudspith/KQED.

description: The paper deals with questions related to the method of Husserl’s phenomenology. It is argued that Husserl’s analysis of different kinds of intuitional consciousness (anschauendes Bewusstsein) should be regarded as functional towardsthe elaboration of the method of phenomenology as a science of essences. The paper especially focuses on Husserl’s analyses of phantasy – and picture – consciousness and highlights the specific relevance of such analyses for the phenomenological method.

description: In this paper, we present a novel model-agnostic machine learning technique to extract a reduced thermochemical model for reacting hypersonic flows simulation. A first simulation gathers all relevant thermodynamic states and the corresponding gas properties via a given model. The states are embedded in a low-dimensional space and clustered to identify regions with different levels of thermochemical (non)-equilibrium. Then, a surrogate surface from the reduced cluster-space to the output space is generated using radial-basis-function networks. The method is validated and benchmarked on a simulation of a hypersonic flat-plate boundary layer with finite-rate chemistry. The gas properties of the reactive air mixture are initially modeled using the open-source Mutation++ library. Substituting Mutation++ with the light-weight, machine-learned alternative improves the performance of the solver by 50% while maintaining overall accuracy.

Una prospettiva di emancipazione socratica dalla città globale della retorica
Creators: name: Michelis, Angela
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2015

description: The emancipation from the conventional relationships and the rhetoric discourses is a preferential entry–point to interpret Carlo Michelstaedter’s philosophy. His thought aims at a revolution of individual thinking and praxis towards a new way of living, more aware of our condition of human beings. The acceptation of our fragile destiny of life and death, love and pain, is the first step to find a truth that makes us free as individuals, but compassionate with other human beings and natural entities of world. This path demands a critical dialectic, an overcoming of social prejudices, a revolution in the languages, a relativization of the perspectives in order to understand each other and change the social and natural fight for survival into a condition of dialogue and peace.

Digital Traceability and the Right to be Forgotten
Creators: name: Romele, Alberto
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2015

description: The goal of this article is to show how Ricoeur’s perspective on traces could be used in the current debate on digital traces and the “right to beforgotten” — the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union according to which people have the right, under certain conditions, to ask search engines like Google to remove results for queries that include their name. In the first section, the author discusses Ricoeur’s unexpected “love for technology.” In particular, he shows how externalizations — i.e. methods, techniques and technologies—have been at the heart of Ricoeur’s hermeneutical reflections. In the second section, he takes into account Ricoeur’s considerations on traces and memory in Memory, History, Forgetting as potential replies to the several issues posed by digital traceability. The hypothesis is that Ricoeur’s perspective, and especially his motto “you are better than your actions,” could represent an ethical integration of both the juridical imposition of the European Court of Justice and the technical–moral solutions suggested by authors such as Luciano Floridi and Viktor Mayer–Schönberger.

description: By using results of highly accurate computations of the total energies of a large number of few-electron atoms we construct a few interpolation formulas which can be used to approximate the total energies of bound atomic states. In our procedure the total energies of atomic states $E$ are represented as a function of the electric charge of atomic nucleus $Q$ and the total number of bound electrons $N_e$. Some general properties of the $E(Q, N_e)$ function are investigated. The knowledge of the $E(Q, N_e)$ function allows one to determine the total (and binding) energies of these states in arbitrary atoms and ions with different $Q$ and $N_e$.

description: Recently, deep learning-based methods have drawn huge attention due to their simple yet high performance without domain knowledge in sound classification and localization tasks. However, a lack of gun sounds in existing datasets has been a major obstacle to implementing a support system to spot criminals from their gunshots by leveraging deep learning models. Since the occurrence of gunshot is rare and unpredictable, it is impractical to collect gun sounds in the real world. As an alternative, gun sounds can be obtained from an FPS game that is designed to mimic real-world warfare. The recent FPS game offers a realistic environment where we can safely collect gunshot data while simulating even dangerous situations. By exploiting the advantage of the game environment, we construct a gunshot dataset, namely BGG, for the firearm classification and gunshot localization tasks. The BGG dataset consists of 37 different types of firearms, distances, and directions between the sound source and a receiver. We carefully verify that the in-game gunshot data has sufficient information to identify the location and type of gunshots by training several sound classification and localization baselines on the BGG dataset. Afterward, we demonstrate that the accuracy of real-world firearm classification and localization tasks can be enhanced by utilizing the BGG dataset.

Identità e narrazione

Year: 2015

description: The paper makes a comparison between Paul Ricoeur’s theory of narrative identity of the self and the new forms of self–representation, developed by the social networks. The aim is twofold: on one hand, is ricoeurian theory of the self still appropriate, based on the implications of social networks practices for personal identity? On the other hand, can ricoeurian theory of identity provide some critical tools for the identity models conveyed by the social media? My hypothesis is that Ricoeur’s model provides tools to understand some aspects of the social network’s ways of building personal identity.

description: The recently discovered vanadium-based kagome metals AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) offer the possibility to study the interplay between competing electronic orderings, such as charge density order and superconductivity. We focus on the former and provide a comprehensive set of $^{51}$V, $^{87}$Rb, and $^{121}$Sb magnetic resonance measurements on an RbV$_3$Sb$_5$ single crystal. Elucidating the symmetries and properties of the CDW phase is essential to understanding the unconventional electronic orderings occurring in this material. We establish the structure of the $2\times 2 \times 2$ superlattice that describes the system below the charge density wave transition by combining both experimental and computational methods, with a methodology that can be readily applied to the remaining compounds of the same family. Our results give compelling evidence that the CDW structure occurring below 103 K for RbV$_3$Sb$_5$ is the so-called Inverse Start of David pattern $π$-shifted along the c axis (also known as staggered tri-hexagonal).

description: Background: Using a functional analysis of prostate cancer cells, we found a CD24-dependent inactivation of mutant p53, but the clinical significance of this observation remained uncertain. Here, we validated these results with samples of human prostate cancer and explored the role of a CD24-p53 axis in racial disparities of prostate cancer. Methods: Samples of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded prostate cancer from 141 European Americans (EAs) and 147 African Americans (AAs) in two independent sample cohorts were assessed for protein expression of CD24, mutant p53, mouse double minute 2 human homolog (MDM2), and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (ARF) using immunohistochemical analyses. All samples were analyzed for TP53R175H and TP53R273H. Results: CD24, mutant p53, MDM2, and ARF proteins were expressed in 55%, 24%, 39%, and 68% of prostate cancer samples, respectively. CD24 and mutant p53 were present more frequently in late-stage and metastatic prostate cancer. The presence of CD24 was associated with a greater than fourfold risk of metastasis, which included lymph node and distant metastases. H score analysis showed positive correlations of CD24 expression with mutant p53 (r =.308, P <.001) and MDM2 (r =.227, P =.004). There was a negative correlation for CD24 with ARF (r = −.280, P <.001). A racial disparity was evident for CD24 (AAs/EAs: 64% vs 47%; P =.004) but not for mutant p53 (AA/EA: 28% vs 21%; P =.152). In 32 CD24+/mutant p53+ cases, a TP53R273H mutation was found in five cases, but no TP53R175H mutation was found. Conclusion: The CD24-p53 axis may contribute to aggressive and metastatic prostate cancers, especially those of AAs. This observation enhances understanding of the pathogenesis of prostate cancer and its associated racial disparities.

The above-threshold tetraquark states $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_c(4020)$, $Z_{cs}(3985)$, $Z_b(10610)$, $Z_b(10650)$ can be explained as the corresponding di-hadron resonances, respectively. We also studied the $Σ_c^{(\ast)}\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ interactions to investigate the three hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$. We further used the parameters fixed from the $P_c$ states to predict the possible molecular states in $Ξ_c\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$, $Ξ_c^\prime\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ and $Ξ_c^\ast\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ systems. Our predictions of the $Ξ_c\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ bound states are very consistent with two new near-threshold structures recently observed by the LHCb Collaboration.

Yet, the question is: does their “affirmative thinking” represent an answer to the issues of an epoch matching the supremacy of technoscience and acquiescence to nihilism?

description: Data protection regulations require that website visitors provide their informed consent before their personal data are collected. However, privacy notices are often misunderstood. We claim that the context of the notice, i.e. the visitor’s action preceding their appearance, can affect its comprehension. In two studies with an ad hoc website (N = 132, 128), we either preserved the sequential connection between the notice and the action triggering it or broke it with a delay. We also manipulated the reference to the triggering action in the notice's title. The participants’ comprehension, perceived comprehension, and response were measured. In a third study (N = 91), we investigated how different contexts (i.e. generic vs. specific) affect the participants’ interpretation of the notice. Overall, the results suggest that the action preceding the notice affects the identification of its cause (studies 1, 2, and 3) and the interpretation of its content (study 3), whereas the explicit content of the notice does not. The acceptance of the notice does not seem to directly follow an improvement in comprehension, as would be foreseen by the transparency paradox. Considering the sequential context in which the notice appears seems then a good design practice to achieve genuine comprehension.

description: We analyze a $t_{2g}$ double-exchange system where the orbital directionality of the itinerant degrees of freedom is a key dynamical feature that self-adjusts in response to doping and leads to a phase diagram dominated by two classes of ground-states with zigzag and checkerboard patterns. The prevalence of distinct orderings is tied to the formation of orbital molecules that in one-dimensional paths make insulating zigzag states kinetically more favorable than metallic stripes, thus allowing for a novel doping-induced metal-to-insulator transition. We find that the basic mechanism that controls the magnetic competition is the breaking of orbital directionality through structural distortions and highlight the consequences of the interorbital Coulomb interaction.

description: The aim of this paper is to examine two modes of problematization, which shift the traditional examination of self–truth away from its initially Cartesian focus point. It analyses two new ways — those of Ricoeur and Foucault—of redefining the relationship between subjectivity and truth, two ways of challenging both the Cartesian veridiction mode (the evidence) and the resulting metaphysical offshoot of the subject (the res cogitans) and its self–positioning and founding nature (the subjectum). The first method finds a founding paradigm in testimony, while the second takes confession as its model.

description: Our Universe is a vast, tantalizing enigma - a mystery that has aroused humankind's innate curiosity for eons. Begging questions on alien lifeforms have been thus far unfruitful, even with the bounding advancements we have embarked upon in recent years. Coupled with logical assumption and calculations such as made by Dr. Frank Drake starting in the early 1960s, evidence in the millions should exist in our galaxy alone, and yet we've produced no clear affirmation in practice. So, where is everybody? In one sense, the seeming silence of the Universe past terra firma reveals layers of stubborn human limitation. Even as ambitious programs such as SETI aim to solve these knotty challenges, the results have turned up rather pessimistic possibilities. An existential disaster may lay in wait as our society advances exponentially towards space exploration, acting as the Great Filter: a phenomenon that wipes out civilizations before they can encounter each other, which may explain the cosmic silence. In this article, we propose several possible doomsday-type scenarios, including anthropogenic and natural hazards, both of which can be prevented with reforms in individual, institutional and intrinsic behaviors. We take into account multiple calamity candidates: nuclear warfare, pathogens and pandemics, artificial intelligence, asteroid and comet impacts, and climate change. Each of these categories have various influences but lack critical adjustment to accommodate to their high risk. We have long ignored the quickly encroaching Great Filter, even as it threatens to consume us entirely, especially as our rate of progress correlates directly to the severity of our fall. This indicates a necessary period of introspection, followed by appropriate refinements to properly approach our predicament, and see our way through it.

description: Is it really possible to tell the suffered pain? What kind of story tellingcould give an account of the uniqueness of the sorrow? The paper focuses on the description of the fragility of the human, as well as on the problems posed by the access to the symbolic field, in Paul Ricoeur’s theory. It particularly criticizes his notion of “plot,” as described in Temps et récit: from the point of view of transitional justice processes, Ricoeur’s narrative seems unable to tell the singular person who suffers the pain, his irreducible difference and his possible — required maybe — silence.

description: We report an axion dark matter search at Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitskii sensitivity with the CAPP-12TB haloscope, assuming axions contribute 100\% of the local dark matter density. The search excluded the axion--photon coupling $g_{aγγ}$ down to about $6.2\times10^{-16}$ GeV$^{-1}$ over the axion mass range between 4.51 and 4.59 $μ$eV at a 90\% confidence level. The achieved experimental sensitivity can also exclude Kim-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov axion dark matter that makes up just 13\% of the local dark matter density. The CAPP-12TB haloscope will continue the search over a wide range of axion masses.

Paul Ricoeur’s Hermeneutics of the Self
Creators: name: Brennan, Eileen
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2015

description: This paper sets out to reappraise Ricoeur’s theory of the self, offering a critical commentary on three important theses regarding Oneself as Another: those of Domenico Jervolino, Johann Michel and Jean Greisch. It challenges the commonly held assumption that the “hermeneutics of the self,” which Ricoeur introduces in that work, is continuous with his earlier works on a “reform” of subjectivity. It discusses three considerations which indicate that, from the mid to late 1980’s onwards, Ricoeur did not view “the subject” and “the self ” as one and the same. It argues that the “guiding thread” in Ricoeur’s work is infact a critical engagement with Descartes’ Second Meditation. This sustained but evolving critique of the Second Meditation is almost always the occasion for innovation. However, when it occurs in Oneself as Another it gives rise to a revolution: a break with the “philosophies of the subject” and a rapprochement with Heidegger.

description: Scale-free surfaces, such as cones, remain unchanged under a simultaneous expansion of all coordinates by the same factor. Probability density of a particle diffusing near such absorbing surface at large time approaches a simple form that incorporates power-law dependencies on time and distance from a special point, such as apex of the cone, which are characterized by a single exponent $η$. The same exponent is used to describe the number of spatial conformations of long ideal polymer attached to the special point of a repulsive surface of the same geometry and can be used in calculation of entropic forces between such polymers and surfaces. We use the solution of diffusion equation near such surfaces to find the numerical values of $η$, as well as to provide some insight into the behavior of ideal polymers near such surfaces.

description: High-level exposure to arsenic, a known carcinogen and endocrine disruptor, is associated with prostate cancer (PCa) mortality. Whether low-level exposure is associated with PCa aggressiveness remains unknown. We examined the association between urinary arsenic and PCa aggressiveness among men in North Carolina. This cross-sectional study included 463 African-American and 491 European-American men with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma. PCa aggressiveness was defined as low aggressive (Gleason score < 7, stage = cT1–cT2, and PSA < 10 ng/mL) versus intermediate/high aggressive (all other cases). Total arsenic and arsenical species (inorganic arsenic (iAsIII + iAsV), arsenobetaine, monomethyl arsenic, and dimethyl arsenic)) and specific gravity were measured in spot urine samples obtained an average of 23.7 weeks after diagnosis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the covariate-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for PCa aggressiveness in association with arsenic tertiles/quantiles overall and by race. The highest (vs. lowest) tertile of total arsenic was associated with PCa aggressiveness ORs of 1.77 (95% CI = 1.05–2.98) among European-American men, and 0.94 (95% CI = 0.57–1.56) among African-American men (PInteraction = 0.04). In contrast, total arsenic and arsenical species were not associated with PCa aggressiveness in unstratified models. Low-level arsenic exposure may be associated with PCa aggressiveness among European-Americans, but not among African-Americans.

description: Increasing complexity and data-generation rates in cyber-physical systems and the industrial Internet of things are calling for a corresponding increase in AI capabilities at the resource-constrained edges of the Internet. Meanwhile, the resource requirements of digital computing and deep learning are growing exponentially, in an unsustainable manner. One possible way to bridge this gap is the adoption of resource-efficient brain-inspired "neuromorphic" processing and sensing devices, which use event-driven, asynchronous, dynamic neurosynaptic elements with colocated memory for distributed processing and machine learning. However, since neuromorphic systems are fundamentally different from conventional von Neumann computers and clock-driven sensor systems, several challenges are posed to large-scale adoption and integration of neuromorphic devices into the existing distributed digital-computational infrastructure. Here, we describe the current landscape of neuromorphic computing, focusing on characteristics that pose integration challenges. Based on this analysis, we propose a microservice-based framework for neuromorphic systems integration, consisting of a neuromorphic-system proxy, which provides virtualization and communication capabilities required in distributed systems of systems, in combination with a declarative programming approach offering engineering-process abstraction. We also present concepts that could serve as a basis for the realization of this framework, and identify directions for further research required to enable large-scale system integration of neuromorphic devices.

description: In experimental and clinical studies, green or black tea consumption has been shown to reduce oxidative stress. However, these studies involved high levels of tea consumption and may not reflect patterns in the general population. Here, we examined the association between black or green tea consumption and oxidative stress in a cross-sectional study of 889 premenopausal US women aged 35-54 years. Tea consumption was measured using the Block-98 FFQ. Urinary 8-iso-PGF2α (F2-IsoP) and 2,3-dinor-5,6-dihydro-15-F2t-isoprostane (15-F2t-IsoP-M) were used as biomarkers of oxidative stress. These compounds were measured by MS and normalised to creatinine. Linear regression was used to calculate the geometric mean differences (GMD) and 95% CI for log-transformed urinary F2-IsoP or 15-F2t-IsoP-M in relation to black or green tea consumption. We further examined whether adjusting for caffeine impacted associations between tea and oxidative stress. Geometric means of urinary F2-IsoP and 15-F2t-IsoP-M were 1·44 (95% CI 1·39, 1·49) and 0·71 (95% CI 0·69, 0·73) ng/mg creatinine, respectively. Overall, green tea consumption was not associated with urinary F2-IsoP or 15-F2t-IsoP-M. High-level black tea consumption (≥5 cups/week compared with 0) was associated with higher 15-F2t-IsoP-M concentrations (adjusted GMD=0·10, 95 % CI 0·02-0.19) but not F2-IsoP. Adjusting for caffeine nullified the association between black tea and 15-F2t-IsoP-M. Our findings do not support the hypothesis that dietary tea consumption is inversely associated with oxidative stress.
