GenX Inhibits P-glycoprotein and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein Transport Activity and Expression at the Blood-Brain Barrier in Sprague-Dawley Rats
Creators: name: Richards, Alicia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: GenX (CAS No. 62037-80-3) is a replacement for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as a chemical precursor in fluoropolymer manufacturing. The compound is a persistent contaminant in drinking water and air. To address the potential for CNS toxicity, we investigated the effects of low concentrations (0.01 – 1000 nM) of GenX on ATP-Binding Cassette transporter activity and expression at the blood-brain barrier. Using an ex vivo steady-state luminal fluorescence-based assay, we found that 1 - 1000 nM GenX rapidly inhibited P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP, ABCG2) activity in SD rats and in human ovarian cancer cells. Inhibition of efflux transport reduces the neuroprotective function of the BBB, potentially exposing the CNS to toxic substrates. If GenX has a similar effect in other P-gp- and BCRP-expressing tissues, then changes in pharmacokinetics of xenobiotics could occur.

description: Based on close readings of the visual album Lemonade by Beyoncé and the music video Two Weeks by FKA twigs this paper examines shining, as the potential to diffract a mirror, as the medium that holds deep significance for white western subject formation. In reference to Achille Mbembe’s approach to becoming black and Fred Moten’s concept of previousness I will argue that shining plays a central role in enabling a black subjectification whose political power arises from the circumstance of not yet being a proper subject. In the previousness of black subjectivity rests the possibility to realize being engaged with world beyond white western understandings of participation. Thus, black subjectivity can be understood as diffractive subjectivity, as shiny.

description: Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue in India, with high incidence and mortality. The current literature on post-TB sequelae functional defects focuses heavily on spirometry, with conflicting obstruction vs. restriction data, lacks advanced statistical analysis, and has insufficient data on diffusion limitation and functional impairment. Objective: This study aimed to thoroughly evaluate post-tubercular sequelae after treatment, assessing chest radiology, spirometry, diffusing capacity, and exercise capacity. Methods: A total of 85 patients were studied at a university teaching hospital in Mysuru. The data collected included characteristics, comorbidities, smoking history, and respiratory symptoms. The investigations included spirometry, DLCO, chest X-rays with scoring, and 6MWT. Results: Of the patients, 70% had abnormal X-rays post-treatment, correlating with reduced lung function. Additionally, 70% had impaired spirometry with obstructive/restrictive patterns, and 62.2% had reduced DLCO, with females at higher risk. Smoking increased the risk of sequelae. Conclusions: Most patients had residual radiological/lung function abnormalities post-treatment. Advanced analyses provide insights into obstructive vs. restrictive defects. Ongoing research should explore pathogenetic mechanisms and therapeutic modalities to minimize long-term post-TB disability.

description: We present new results for the jet-veto efficiency and zero-jet cross section in Higgs production through gluon fusion. We incorporate the N$^3$LO corrections to the total cross section, the NNLO corrections to the 1-jet rate, NNLL resummation for the jet $p_t$ and LL resummation for the jet radius dependence. Our results include known finite-mass corrections and are obtained using the jet-veto efficiency method, updated relative to earlier work to take into account what has been learnt from the new precision calculations that we include. For 13 TeV collisions and using our default choice for the renormalisation and factorisation scales, $μ_0=m_H/2$, the matched prediction for the jet-veto efficiency increases the pure NNNLO prediction by about 2% and the two have comparable uncertainties. Relative to NNLO+NNLL results, the new prediction is 2% smaller and the uncertainty reduces from more than 10% to less than 5%. Results are also presented for the central scale $μ_0=m_H$.

Notationen aus Zorn. Auto-ethnographische Texte zu einer Performance über den Dritten Raum
Creators: name: Palme, Pia
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2017

description: This auto-ethnography explores wrath as a material and inspiration for my compositional practice, drawing on Donald W. Winnicott’s conception of a third space as an intermediary between the individual and the surrounding environment. Written for a lecture performance, the text compiles theoretical, practical, and poetic reflections about my process as a composer, performer, artist, and feminist. Rethinking listening as a tool to creatively interact with an environment, I propose that listening must be inclusive. As a listener, I explore the interior dimension of social interactions and my own inner space, my mind: thinking mind is an inner vocality. Composing is an intimate process that begins inside, progresses towards an ,outside’, and is well adjusted through the exchange with the environment. An important phase is the zone when an imagined sound becomes manifest as a notated image, to be further developed, performed, and perceived by an audience. I identify this time-space continuum as a third space linking my artistic process to a wider social context. Alongside my composition SETZUNG (2014), inspired by the work and life of the author Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (Mexico 1651-1695), I look into aspects of veiling from artistic and cultural angles.

description: Using a high-speed camera, we follow the propagation of the detachment front during the peeling of an adhesive tape from a flat surface. In a given range of peeling velocity, this front displays a multiscale unstable dynamics, entangling two well-separated spatiotemporal scales, which correspond to microscopic and macroscopic dynamical stick-slip instabilities. While the periodic release of the stretch energy of the whole peeled ribbon drives the classical macro-stick-slip, we show that the micro-stick-slip, due to the regular propagation of transverse dynamic fractures discovered by Thoroddsen et al. [Phys. Rev. E 82, 046107 (2010)], is related to a high-frequency periodic release of the elastic bending energy of the adhesive ribbon concentrated in the vicinity of the peeling front.

Interview mit dem Schleier

Year: 2017

description: Interviewing means mutually seeing one another. When the gaze hits a veil, it is doubled and broken in another gaze that also sees and is seen, although not simultaneously. Instead of registering objectively, we speak in a room where the lines of flight seem to go dark in the beyond, from where they come back into the world authorized. But the veil is a blind spot between these two poles, confusing the division into the profane and the sacred. Through stories coming from elsewhere and colonized by its own mythology, it circulates in the informational space of an opacity that indirectly relates flight and line to one another, inventing new ways to use media to work out difference and to move what is inadequate. Perhaps this attests to a lack in the power of imagination and need not signify anything unreal. Deliberately and systematically indirect, we look the complexity of the world in the face.

$\mathcal{N}=2^\star$ from Topological Amplitudes in String Theory

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In this paper, we explicitly construct string theory backgrounds that realise the so-called $\mathcal N=2^\star$ gauge theory. We prove the consistency of our models by calculating their partition function and obtaining the correct gauge theory spectrum. We further provide arguments in favour of the universality of our construction which covers a wide class of models all of which engineer the same gauge theory. We reproduce the corresponding Nekrasov partition function once the $Ω$-deformation is included and the appropriate field theory limit taken. This is achieved by calculating the topological amplitudes $F_g$ in the string models. In addition to heterotic and type II constructions, we also realise the mass deformation in type I theory, thus leading to a natural way of uplifting the result to the instanton sector.

description: The experimental techniques have evolved to a stage where various examples of nanostructures with non-trivial shapes have been synthesized, turning the dynamics of a constrained particle and the link with geometry into a realistic and important topic of research. Some decades ago, a formalism to deduce a meaningful Hamiltonian for the confinement was devised, showing that a geometry-induced potential (GIP) acts upon the dynamics. In this work we study the problem of prescribed GIP for curves and surfaces in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$, i.e., how to find a curved region with a potential given {\it a priori}. The problem for curves is easily solved by integrating Frenet equations, while the problem for surfaces involves a non-linear 2nd order partial differential equation (PDE). Here, we explore the GIP for surfaces invariant by a 1-parameter group of isometries of $\mathbb{R}^3$, which turns the PDE into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) and leads to cylindrical, revolution, and helicoidal surfaces. Helicoidal surfaces are particularly important, since they are natural candidates to establish a link between chirality and the GIP. Finally, for the family of helicoidal minimal surfaces, we prove the existence of geometry-induced bound and localized states and the possibility of controlling the change in the distribution of the probability density when the surface is subjected to an extra charge.

description: Meta-analyses have shown that shame is particularly associated with social anxiety disorder (SAD) compared to other anxiety disorders. Theories of SAD put inflexible and rigid coping with shame at the heart of SAD, however little data have been collected to validate that shame is a central aspect of what maintains SAD, as well as that rigid and inflexible coping with shame mediates the relationship between shame and the impaired functioning and symptoms observed in SAD. In addition, we are not aware of studies that have examined the relationship between internal and external shame and SAD in the same study. This two-study paper aims to examine the respective roles of internal and external shame, self-criticism, and shame-regulation strategies in social anxiety using well-powered cross-sections of the population. Participants for both studies were recruited as part of project MESA using the website MTurk. Study one uses a cross-sectional survey design. Study two uses a 14-day daily diary design in which participants report on one social interaction at the end of each day in a brief survey.

description: We report measured rate coefficients for electron-ion recombination for Si10+ forming Si9+ and for Si9+ forming Si8+, respectively. The measurements were performed using the electron-ion merged-beams technique at a heavy-ion storage ring. Electron-ion collision energies ranged from 0 to 50 eV for Si9+ and from 0 to 2000 eV for Si10+, thus, extending previous measurements for Si10+ [Orban et al. 2010, Astrophys. J. 721, 1603] to much higher energies. Experimentally derived rate coefficients for the recombination of Si9+ and Si10+ ions in a plasma are presented along with simple parameterizations. These rate coefficients are useful for the modeling of the charge balance of silicon in photoionized plasmas (Si9+ and Si10+) and in collisionally ionized plasmas (Si10+ only). In the corresponding temperature ranges, the experimentally derived rate coefficients agree with the latest corresponding theoretical results within the experimental uncertainties.

The Impact of Isolation on the Attentional Boost Effect
Creators: name: Smith, Samuel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The typical pattern of results in divided attention experiments is that subjects in a full attention (FA) condition perform markedly better on tests of memory than subjects in a divided attention (DA) condition which forces subjects to split their attention between studying to-be-remembered stimuli and completing some peripheral task. Nevertheless, recent research has revealed an exception wherein stimuli presented concurrently with targets in a detection task are better remembered than stimuli which co-occur with distractors. Research on this phenomenon – the Attentional Boost Effect (ABE) – has demonstrated that the ABE is reduced or eliminated for words made distinct by their word frequency or orthographic properties – forms of secondary distinctiveness. However, it is unclear how primary distinctiveness effects may interact with the ABE. The current study observed how perceptual and semantic manipulations of primary distinctiveness interact with the ABE, and revealed these interactions to be fundamentally different than those of secondary distinctiveness.

Multi-Proxy Sclerochronological Evidence for Plio-Pleistocene Regional Warmth: US Mid Atlantic Coastal Plain
Creators: name: Winkelstern, Ian Z.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Assessments of global Pliocene climate using conventional proxies indicate prevalent warmth at mid to high latitudes. However, it remains poorly understood how these climate changes were manifested on a regional basis and on annual timescales. Oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O) of fossil Mercenaria spp. (bivalve) shells enable reconstruction of growth temperature to estimate sea surface temperature (SST) at seasonal resolution, and comparing growth characteristics of fossil and modern populations can provide independent SST estimates. Fossil shells selected from the Yorktown Formation (Pliocene, early Piacenzian, ~3.3-3.0 Ma, warm interval) and the Chowan River Formation (Pleistocene, Gelasian, 2.4-1.8 Ma, subsequent cooling) of the US Mid Atlantic Coastal Plain document warmth and reduced seasonality relative to modern. Growth analyses of fossil populations likely exclude the possibility of more extreme (>25°C) average annual conditions. These results support model results of increased meridional heat transport during the Pliocene.

description: Three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, covering the spatial domain from hundreds of Schwarzschild radii to $2\ \mathrm{pc}$ around the central supermassive black hole of mass $10^8 M_\odot$, with detailed radiative cooling processes, are performed. Generically found is the existence of a significant amount of shock heated, high temperature ($\geq 10^8\ \mathrm{K}$) coronal gas in the inner ($\leq 10^4 r_\mathrm{sch}$) region. It is shown that the composite bremsstrahlung emission spectrum due to coronal gas of various temperatures are in reasonable agreement with the overall ensemble spectrum of AGNs and hard X-ray background. Taking into account inverse Compton processes, in the context of the simulation-produced coronal gas, our model can readily account for the wide variety of AGN spectral shape, which can now be understood physically. The distinguishing feature of our model is that X-ray coronal gas is, for the first time, an integral part of the inflow gas and its observable characteristics are physically coupled to the concomitant inflow gas. One natural prediction of our model is the anti-correlation between accretion disk luminosity and spectral hardness: as the luminosity of SMBH accretion disk decreases, the hard X-ray luminosity increases relative to the UV/optical luminosity.

description: Background: Change and variation in the timing of the first and last birth may have consequences for the mother, her family, and society including increased use of assisted reproduction, increased risk of maternal and perinatal adverse event, and failure to achieve the desired family size. Objectives: The aim of this review is to map and explore published literature regarding (i) the contemporary trends of maternal age at first and last birth globally; (ii) the determinants of the of changes in age of first and last birth; (iii) the impact of changes of age at first and last birth on population demographics; and (iv) if the negative impact of changes in age at first and last birth can be mitigated by strategies to provide ART, prevent STIs and chronic diseases, or extend reproductive longevity. Methods: This scoping review will follow the Arksey and O’Malley framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. We will search MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, reports of demographic surveys and the global burden of disease reports. We will include published reports on maternal age at first and last birth. Two reviewers will complete all screening and data abstraction independently. Data will be extracted onto a data charting table to create a descriptive summary of the results. Discussion: This scoping review will provide a broad overview of current trends of maternal age at first and last birth. The analysis will allow us to refine future research in this area.
Annotation of the Understudied Kinome and  Preliminary Testing of Kinase Inhibitor Combinations

Year: 2017

description: A technique utilizing multiplexed inhibitor beads and mass spectrometry (MIB/MS) detects functional protein kinases in breast cancer cell lines.  Data from this technique was used to shed light on the understudied kinome, a portion of which is captured by the MIB/MS method. Regression analysis was performed to find correlations in kinase activity.  The functional linkages were then used to annotate the understudied kinases.  Annotations revealed new possible functions and disease relations for many understudied kinases.
       Kinase inhibitor combinations were suggested by principle components analysis (PCA) results performed on MIB/MS data from treated breast cancer cell lines.   The combinations were preliminarily tested for signs of effectiveness.  Dose curves and growth assays were performed to compare drug combinations in the SKBR3 cell line. The interpretation of in vitro experiment results was impeded because of poor accuracy and reproducibility. Possible designs for in vitro experiments producing interpretable results are presented.

description: Fat bodies have long been used for the purposes of entertainment. But unlike their negative presentations in circuses and seaside attractions, members of the fat activist community are embracing ways to show positive representations of fatness and fat bodies; One of these ways is coloring books. Fat positive coloring books are exploring the ways in which fat activists use the medium to queer fatness and provide alternative visual representations of fat bodies. Works included Fat ladies in spaaaaaaaace by Theo Nicole Lorenz (2011), FATSPO coloring book by Brian Stuart (2013), Big-bellied Merbabes: A body positive coloring by Rachelle Bellar (2013), Body love: A fact activist coloring book by Allison Tunis (2016), Fat bodies coloring by Sarah Burns (2016), The big fat little coloring zine by Natalie Perkins (2016), and Superfat crop top girl gang coloring book Zine by Rachele Cateyes (2016). Fat positive coloring books embrace subversive themes, queer fatness, and display positive representations of fat bodies and fatness.

“I Wanna Be Fat”: Healthism and Fat Politics in TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life
Creators: name: Kindinger, Evangelia
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2017

description: American reality TV has for a long time staged fat bodies in exaggerated and voyeuristic ways. The aim of such programs is to tell cautionary tales about the supposedly disastrous effects of fatness for the individual and society. The fat body needs to change, or be controlled in order to function fully in a capitalist society. One series that interrupts this narrative is TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life (2015-); the title suggests that this narrative is not one of misery and regret, but of joy – certainly an unusual take on fatness in reality TV. It stars Whitney Thore, a woman who claims to be body positive, and who advertises fat politics; politics inspired by fat studies and activism. These clash with the healthist, neoliberal ideology circulated in reality TV. While she announces that she is proud to be fat, her friends and family are constantly shown challenging her. The series thus sends contradicting messages: unable to fully commit to fat and body positivity, it stages Thore’s health problems in a spectacular way and thus undermines the successes and triumphs she experiences as fat role model.

Staring Back: A Response to Body Shamers in Haley Morris-Cafiero’s Self-Portraiture
Creators: name: Auz, Lucienne
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2017

description: In 2010, Memphis-based artist Haley Morris-Cafiero set out on a global photographic project entitled Wait Watchers (2010-2015), a series of self-portraits that explore the issue of body shaming. Within these works Morris-Cafiero performs the role of a vacationer, dressing in locale-appropriate attire and striking classic tourist poses. Nothing about her fashion or demeanor would strike many as unusual, but captured within the larger shot are onlookers, unaware of being photographed, who become characters in her performance as they react to her appearance. Though repeatedly capturing looks of disgust, contempt and ridicule, Morris-Cafiero does not claim to know the thoughts of passersby. She finds proof of viewers’ perceptions in hostile online comments posted to her work. Utilizing these comments Morris-Cafiero created a second performance-based series, In the Time of Trump (2015-present), in which she photographs herself adopting the role of the online trolls in order to subvert their gaze, strip the perception of online anonymity, and to re-present their words to the world. Exploring the intersection of fat studies and disability studies, this paper locates Morris-Cafiero’s two series within the framework of Tobin Siebers’ concept of disability aesthetics. Siebers argues to broaden our definition of aesthetics to encompass new conceptions of beauty and to recognize that our aesthetic response is based on an embodied experience. This paper argues that Morris-Cafiero’s work successfully embraces unique corporeality and challenges socio-cultural distinctions of the outsider‘ body.

The Faces of Fatness in Early Modern Europe
Creators: name: Benninga, Sara
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2017

description: Since the beginning of Christianity the body, and lack of control over it, were perceived as a site of sin. St. Augustine, for example, struggled with the temptations of the senses, seeking control of his mind over the urges of his body. St. Thomas Aquinas viewed immoderate eating and drinking as gluttonous. This sinful perception of the body was clearly developed in artistic depictions. Gluttony was often represented by a fat figure. In early modern Europe, the negative appraisal of the fat body was further related to heathen customs, and to violation of the accepted social norms and hierarchy. This paper focuses on images from 15th and 16th century northern Europe, delineating the negative visual approach towards the fat body. From representations of the sin of Gluttony to the depiction of peasants around the time of the German peasant wars, this paper follows the negative portrayal of the fat body and its different religious, social and political meanings.

description: Young giant exoplanets are a unique laboratory for understanding cool, low-gravity atmospheres. A quintessential example is the massive extrasolar planet $β$ Pic b, which is 9 AU from and embedded in the debris disk of the young nearby A6V star $β$ Pictoris. We observed the system with first light of the Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) system. In Paper I we presented the first CCD detection of this planet with MagAO+VisAO. Here we present four MagAO+Clio images of $β$ Pic b at 3.1 $μ$m, 3.3 $μ$m, $L^\prime$, and $M^\prime$, including the first observation in the fundamental CH$_4$ band. To remove systematic errors from the spectral energy distribution (SED), we re-calibrate the literature photometry and combine it with our own data, for a total of 22 independent measurements at 16 passbands from 0.99--4.8 $μ$m. Atmosphere models demonstrate the planet is cloudy but are degenerate in effective temperature and radius. The measured SED now covers $>$80\% of the planet's energy, so we approach the bolometric luminosity empirically. We calculate the luminosity by extending the measured SED with a blackbody and integrating to find log($L_{bol}$/$L_{Sun}$) $= -3.78\pm0.03$. From our bolometric luminosity and an age of 23$\pm$3 Myr, hot-start evolutionary tracks give a mass of 12.7$\pm$0.3 $M_{Jup}$, radius of 1.45$\pm$0.02 $R_{Jup}$, and $T_{eff}$ of 1708$\pm$23 K (model-dependent errors not included). Our empirically-determined luminosity is in agreement with values from atmospheric models (typically $-3.8$ dex), but brighter than values from the field-dwarf bolometric correction (typically $-3.9$ dex), illustrating the limitations in comparing young exoplanets to old brown dwarfs.

description: We study the dynamical behaviour of points in the boundaries of simply connected invariant Baker domains $U$ of meromorphic maps $f$ with a finite degree on $U$. We prove that if $f|_U$ is of hyperbolic or simply parabolic type, then almost every point in the boundary of $U$ with respect to harmonic measure escapes to infinity under iteration. On the contrary, if $f|_U$ is of doubly parabolic type, then almost every point in the boundary of $U$ with respect to harmonic measure has dense forward trajectory in the boundary of $U$, in particular the set of escaping points in the boundary of $U$ has harmonic measure zero. We also present some extensions of the results to the case when $f$ has infinite degree on $U$, including classical Fatou example.

description: We show that memory, in the form of underdamped angular dynamics, is a crucial ingredient for the collective properties of self-propelled particles. Using Vicsek-style models with an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process acting on angular velocity, we uncover a rich variety of collective phases not observed in usual overdamped systems, including vortex lattices and active foams. In a model with strictly nematic interactions the smectic arrangement of Vicsek waves giving rise to global polar order is observed. We also provide a calculation of the effective interaction between vortices in the case where a telegraphic noise process is at play, explaining thus the emergence and structure of the vortex lattices observed here and in motility assay experiments.

description: Efficiency is a core concept of multi-objective optimization problems and multi-attribute decision making. In the case of pairwise comparison matrices a weight vector is called efficient if the approximations of the elements of the pairwise comparison matrix made by the ratios of the weights cannot be improved in any position without making it worse in some other position. A pairwise comparison matrix is called double perturbed if it can be made consistent by altering two elements and their reciprocals. The most frequently used weighting method, the eigenvector method is analyzed in the paper, and it is shown that it produces an efficient weight vector for double perturbed pairwise comparison matrices.

description: The commented paper claims to provide a new expression for an energy stored around a general radiator. The major purpose of this comment is to show that the claim is unjustified. Alongside with this issue, it is pointed out that some of the core formulas of the commented paper are not completely correct, and that their correct form has in fact been derived elsewhere, though for the purpose of evaluating the quality factor QZ and not the stored energies.

description: Quantum error correction will be a necessary component towards realizing scalable quantum computers with physical qubits. Theoretically, it is possible to perform arbitrarily long computations if the error rate is below a threshold value. The two-dimensional surface code permits relatively high fault-tolerant thresholds at the ~1% level, and only requires a latticed network of qubits with nearest-neighbor interactions. Superconducting qubits have continued to steadily improve in coherence, gate, and readout fidelities, to become a leading candidate for implementation into larger quantum networks. Here we describe characterization experiments and calibration of a system of four superconducting qubits arranged in a planar lattice, amenable to the surface code. Insights into the particular qubit design and comparison between simulated parameters and experimentally determined parameters are given. Single- and two-qubit gate tune-up procedures are described and results for simultaneously benchmarking pairs of two-qubit gates are given. All controls are eventually used for an arbitrary error detection protocol described in separate work [Corcoles et al., Nature Communications, 6, 2015]

Who Are You Calling Fat? Eating Disordered Thinking in Jenny Saville’s Plan and Propped
Creators: name: Lockard, Brittany
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2017

description: Jenny Saville’s early paintings of fat, female nudes, as exemplified by Plan (1993) and Propped (1992) achieved an almost instant notoriety, in part due to the openly feminist intentions Saville claimed for her otherwise traditional subject matter. Critics tend to either laud the works as celebrations of fatness or provide feminist readings of the nudes as troubling societal body standards. However, none of these authors question that the women depicted are fat. I argue that critics conflate size and scale in these paintings, demonstrating their absorption of society’s increasingly stringent beauty norms. The paintings also reveal Saville’s own ambivalent attitude toward fatness, as well as contemporary anxiety about the fat body.

description: By making use of a recently proposed framework for the inference of thermodynamic irreversibility in bosonic quantum systems, we experimentally measure and characterize the entropy production rates in the non-equilibrium steady state of two different physical systems -- a micro-mechanical resonator and a Bose-Einstein condensate -- each coupled to a high finesse cavity and hence also subject to optical loss. Key features of our setups, such as cooling of the mechanical resonator and signatures of a structural quantum phase transition in the condensate are reflected in the entropy production rates. Our work demonstrates the possibility to explore irreversibility in driven mesoscopic quantum systems and paves the way to a systematic experimental assessment of entropy production beyond the microscopic limit.

Tit-for-Tat: The Effect of Miscommunication on Language Processing Effort and Decision Making Complexity

description: Momentary miscommunication, when left unresolved, may lead to long-lasting effects that negatively impact communication. One of the major factors behind miscommunications is ambiguity, which might arise, e.g., due to different perspectives of the speaker and the listener, or as a result of misinformation of the listener by the speaker. Here we report two studies investigating how the type of ambiguity affects listeners' willingness to comprehend a confusing speaker. Both studies used a mouse- and eye-tracking paradigm to evaluate listener processing effort and decision making during an unresolvable miscommunication task, in which the participants were presented with pre-recorded ambiguous instructions from a pseudo-confederate. Our results indicated that participants behave reciprocally in conversation: the type of ambiguity affected the effort they exerted when listening to a confusing speaker. Furthermore, eye dwell time analysis revealed that less processing effort was exerted when no salient visual cue was presented to recruit attentional resources. However, when an environmental cue was presented that made the miscommunication salient (i.e., in the form of interference or a perspective taking cue), listeners put forth more processing effort. Moreover, we show that perspective taking and decision making complexity metrics are positively related to increases in language processing effort -- indicating that instances of miscommunication produced cognitive consequences of indecision, thinking, and cognitive pull. Overall, this work provides an important step into evaluating the impact of miscommunication on language use and understanding.
