This Day, We Use Our Energy for Revolution: Black Feminist Ethics of Survival, Struggle, and Renewal in the new New Orleans

description: “This Day, We Use Our Energy for Revolution” is a collaborative ethnography of activist endurance, which I have researched and written alongside the leaders of Women With A Vision (WWAV) in New Orleans, a black feminist health collective founded in 1989. Grounded in three years of fieldwork and a decade of engaged partnership, this dissertation centers the often-hidden histories, practices, and geographies of struggle in America’s zones of abandonment and asks how visions for living otherwise become actionable. Two events frame its inquiry: On March 29, 2012, WWAV overturned a law criminalizing sex work as a “crime against nature,” thereby securing the removal of more than 800 people from the Louisiana sex offender registry list; two months later, on May 24, still unknown arsonists firebombed and destroyed the organization’s headquarters. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this dissertation excavates the histories of violence and struggle that surround these events in order to render visible a complex geographic story of religion, conquest, and refusal. Post-Katrina New Orleans has been imagined as a “resilient” city fulfilling secular visions for progress and development. I argue, by contrast, that this spatial project of renovation rests on centuries-old colonialist logics, wherein blackness figures as the foil upon which “resilience” establishes its own significance. As such, I read the attacks on WWAV not as exceptional, but rather as clues into the enduring spatial threat that black women’s material, spiritual, and intellectual labors pose. For generations, southern black women have been doing history outside of established historiography. Their archives take many forms: texts written, bodies resurrected, communities made whole. So do their narratives. The deft two-step of southern black women’s history-making both refuses and reframes the dominant discourses into which they enter, as well as the places they have been assigned by white supremacy, gender injustice, and state power. I argue that this generations-honed black feminist praxis opens new directions for understanding the work of crafting social life and political vision since emancipation. Complementing historical studies on how black women fashioned authority within mainline and charismatic Christian institutions, this dissertation looks beyond the pews to the blues, to front porches and to Afro-Caribbean traditions––to locate and theorize black women’s ethics, aesthetics, and epistemologies for crafting more livable human geographies.

description: We consider the two-point correlation function of the photodissociation cross section in molecules where the fragmentation process is indirect, passing through resonances above the dissociation threshold. In the limit of overlapping resonances, a formula is derived, relating this correlation function to the behavior of the corresponding classical system. It is shown that nonuniversal features of the two-point correlation function may have significant experimental manifestations.

More-than-water, more-than-human: a transdisciplinary sociology of water conflict in central Iran
Creators: name: Nabavi, Ehsan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2017
Subjects: water conflict, conflict transformation, Actor-Network, assemblage, Zayandeh-Rood river, Iran

description: Water conflict situations represent an intense meeting point of society and nature, particularly in terms of increasing water demand and diminishing resources. However, less tangible interactions also occur in these situations: between hydraulic infrastructure, governments, science and communities. Such connections are often left unidentified because of the assumption of the division between culture and nature and between the human and the nonhuman as separate categories. This thesis argues the water conflicts that our current world seeks to govern—often through technical, apolitical, acultural approaches—are ‘hybridized’ in nature. They are immersed in myriad of nested networks of heterogeneous elements (e.g. humans, technologies, scientific evidence, laws, ideas, and biophysical processes), interacting together and connecting the past, present, and future. Specifically, what is understood in societies as ‘water conflict’ is the outcome of dynamic interactions that continuously form and reform the conflict situation, and determine the social and political orders surrounding it. The thesis argues that we can and should go beyond singular disciplinary viewpoints to unpack this ‘water conflict assemblage’. To this end, it proposes a transdisciplinary frame of analysis, called Actor-Network-Systems (ANSs). The thesis offers a new way to reconceptualise water conflict, including the well-established notion of ‘hydrohegemony’, and ‘hydropolitics’ more generally. The theoretical shift is brought about in two ways: first, by revisiting the meaning and implication of the ‘political’, and the ‘social’ in water research through considering the role of nonhumans; second, by establishing the connection between ‘conflict’ and ‘the future’ and the ways in which it affects the ‘sustainability’ discourse circulated in society. Using the example of the Zayandeh-Rood water conflict in Iran, the study illustrates how different concepts developed in this thesis encourage a higher level of understanding, deeper reflection, and renewed purpose to the study of water conflict. To put the provided insights into practice, the thesis also developed and trialled a form of participatory drama, called Pathways Theatre, as an innovative initiative to influence a conflict situation, so as to transform it into a more sustainable configuration. The Zayandeh-Rood case demonstrates the value and policy-relevance of the approach to real-world conflict transformation.

description: Deep learning algorithms have driven expressive progress in many complex tasks. The loss function is a core component of deep learning techniques, guiding the learning process of neural networks. This paper contributes by introducing a consistency loss for visual odometry with deep learning-based approaches. The motion consistency loss explores repeated motions that appear in consecutive overlapped video clips. Experimental results show that our approach increased the performance of a model on the KITTI odometry benchmark.

description: New technologies for acquiring biological information such as eDNA, acoustic or optical sensors, make it possible to generate spatial community observations at unprecedented scales. The potential of these novel community data to standardize community observations at high spatial, temporal, and taxonomic resolution and at large spatial scale ('many rows and many columns') has been widely discussed, but so far, there has been little integration of these data with ecological models and theory. Here, we review these developments and highlight emerging solutions, focusing on statistical methods for analyzing novel community data, in particular joint species distribution models; the new ecological questions that can be answered with these data; and the potential implications of these developments for policy and conservation.

description: Let $γ^{(m)} \equiv \{ γ_{ij} \}_{0 \leq i +j \leq m}$ be a given complex-valued sequence. The truncated complex moment problem (TCMP in short) involves determining necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive Borel measure $μ$ on $\mathbb{C}$ (called a representing measure for $γ^{(m)}$) such that $γ_{ij} = \int \overline{z}^i z^j dμ$ for $0 \leq i +j \leq m$. The TCMP has been completely solved only when $m= 1, 2, 3, 4$. We provide in this paper a concrete solution to the quintic TCMP (that is, when $m = 5$). We also study the cardinality of the minimal representing measure. Based on the bivariate recurrences sequences's properties with some Curto-Fialkow's results, our method intended to be useful for all odd-degree moment problems.

Massless Elementary Particles in a Quantum Theory Over a Galois Field

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider massless elementary particles in a quantum theory based on a Galois field (GFQT). We previously showed that the theory has a new symmetry between particles and antiparticles, which has no analogue in the standard approach. We now prove that the symmetry is compatible with all operators describing massless particles. Consequently, massless elementary particles can have only the half-integer spin (in conventional units), and the existence of massless neutral elementary particles is incompatible with the spin-statistics theorem. In particular, this implies that the photon and the graviton in the GFQT can only be composite particles.

description: Surveys of exoplanet host stars are valuable tools for assessing population level trends in exoplanets, and their outputs can include stellar ages, activity, and rotation periods. We extracted chromospheric activity measurements from the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) Gaia survey spectra in order to probe connections between stellar activity and fundamental stellar properties. Building on the California Kepler Survey's legacy of 1189 planet host star stellar properties including temperature, surface gravity metallicity and isochronal age, we add measurements of the Ca II H and K lines as a proxy for chromospheric activity for 879 planet hosting stars. We used these chromospheric activity measurements to derive stellar rotation periods. We find a discrepancy between photometrically derived and activity-derived rotation periods for stars on the Rossby Ridge. These results support the theory of weakened magnetic braking. We find no evidence for metallicity-dependent activity relations, within the metallicity range of -0.2 to +0.3 dex. With our single epoch spectra we identify stars that are potentially in Maunder Minimum like state using a combination of log (R'HK) and position below the main-sequence. We do not yet have the multi-year time series needed to verify stars in Maunder Minimum like states. These results can help inform future theoretical studies that explore the relationship between stellar activity, stellar rotation, and magnetic dynamos.

Subjects: Blind prediction competition; Shake-table test; Historical centers; Masonry aggregates; Adjacent buildings;

description: In many historical centers in Europe, stone masonry buildings are part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. The analysis of such building aggregates is very challenging and modelling guidelines missing. Advances in the development of analysis methods have been impeded by the lack of experimental data on the seismic response of such aggregates. The SERA project AIMS (Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures) provides such experimental data by testing an aggregate of two buildings under two horizontal components of dynamic excitation.
 With the aim to advance the modelling of unreinforced masonry aggregates, a blind prediction competition is organized before the experimental campaign. Each group is provided a complete set of construction drawings, material properties, testing sequence and the list of measurement to be reported.

description: Image classification is a fundamental application in computer vision. Recently, deeper networks and highly connected networks have shown state of the art performance for image classification tasks. Most datasets these days consist of a finite number of color images. These color images are taken as input in the form of RGB images and classification is done without modifying them. We explore the importance of color spaces and show that color spaces (essentially transformations of original RGB images) can significantly affect classification accuracy. Further, we show that certain classes of images are better represented in particular color spaces and for a dataset with a highly varying number of classes such as CIFAR and Imagenet, using a model that considers multiple color spaces within the same model gives excellent levels of accuracy. Also, we show that such a model, where the input is preprocessed into multiple color spaces simultaneously, needs far fewer parameters to obtain high accuracy for classification. For example, our model with 1.75M parameters significantly outperforms DenseNet 100-12 that has 12M parameters and gives results comparable to Densenet-BC-190-40 that has 25.6M parameters for classification of four competitive image classification datasets namely: CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN and Imagenet. Our model essentially takes an RGB image as input, simultaneously converts the image into 7 different color spaces and uses these as inputs to individual densenets. We use small and wide densenets to reduce computation overhead and number of hyperparameters required. We obtain significant improvement on current state of the art results on these datasets as well.

description: This dissertation is about the structure of thought. Following Gottlob Frege, I define a thought as the sort of content relevant to determining whether an assertion is true or false. The historical component of the dissertation involves interpreting Frege’s actual views on the structure of thought. I argue that Frege did not think that a thought has a unique decomposition into its component senses, but rather the same thought can be decomposed into senses in a variety of distinct ways. I extend Frege’s position and use it to develop an account of the hierarchy of senses, the senses expressed by indexicals and demonstratives, and the distinction between logical and non-logical structure. I also discuss various connections with the nature of meta-representation, our capacity for reflective judgment, some aspects of the structure of conscious experience, the way we perceive regions of space and durations of time, and our conscious awareness of our own perceptions and events of thinking.

description: This dissertation traces the history of media coverage of the "Threatened Innocent" - a young, often female victim - who has been killed, kidnapped or otherwise endangered. Charting the evolution of this narrative through the centuries, it contends that these stories are rooted in the Puritan captivity narratives of the late 1600s, when the kidnapping of Europeans by Indians was not uncommon. From the establishment of child abuse and kidnapping for ransom as social problems in the nineteenth century, to the moral panic over child snatching in the 1980s and so-called Internet predators in more recent years, this dissertation examines the stories that have created the template for the way we understand Threatened Innocents today.
      	This dissertation further argues that the power of these stories springs as much from the language with which they are told and the rhetoric with which they are surrounded as from the plot points themselves. Since the conservative capture of populism - a decades-long process completed in the 1980s - stories of Threatened Innocents have successfully yoked together this quintessentially American narrative with this quintessentially American rhetoric, resulting in a powerful discourse whose effects are as profound and as they are far-reaching.
      	Our fixation with stories of Threatened Innocents has, at every turn, wedded narrative tradition to a sense of national identity and civic responsibility. The overarching contention is that the stories we tell shape our lives personally and publicly, establishing a social reality that is often untethered to fact.

description: The dissertation includes three papers that address some theoretical and technical issues of latent variable models. The first paper extends the uniformly most powerful test approach for testing person parameter in IRT to the two-parameter logistic models. In addition, an efficient branch-and-bound algorithm for computing the exact p-value is proposed. The second paper proposes a reparameterization of the log-linear CDM model. A Gibbs sampler is developed for posterior computation. The third paper proposes an ordered latent class model with infinite classes using a stochastic process prior. Furthermore, a nonparametric IRT application is also discussed.

description: Among the usual constraints of (1,1) supergravity in d=2 the condition of vanishing bosonic torsion is dropped. Using the inverse supervierbein and the superconnection considerably simplifies the formidable computational problems. It allows to solve the constraints for those fields before taking into account the (identically fulfilled) Bianchi identities. The relation of arbitrary functions in the seminal paper of Howe to supergravity multiplets is clarified. The local supersymmetry transformations remain the same, but, somewhat surprisingly, the transformations of zweibein and Rarita-Schwinger field decouple from those of the superconnection multiplet. A method emerges naturally, how to construct `non-Einsteinian' supergravity theories with nontrivial curvature and torsion in d=2 which, apart from their intrinsic interest, may be relevant for models of super black holes and for novel generalizations in superstring theories. Several explicit examples of such models are presented, some of which immediately allow a dilatonic formulation for the bosonic part of the action.

Wa and Tatala: The Transformation of Indigenous Canoes on Yap and Orchid Island
Creators: name: Tu, Karen Kan-Lun
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Wa, Tatala, Canoe, Revitalisation, Transformation, Yap, Orchid Island

description: This thesis focuses on the areas on Orchid Island in Taiwan and Yap State in the Federated States of Micronesia exploring the transformation of indigenous canoe usage. The canoe performs significant symbolic and practical functions for both of these areas, though they have also developed local–specific functions thanks to variations in their respective histories that involve a complex process of transformation and revitalisation in canoe culture and navigation. The main aims of the thesis are to analyse the different usages of indigenous canoes from the late nineteenth century to the present, to discuss how foreign and colonial powers influenced canoe usage, and how indigenous canoes have developed contemporary meanings over time. This comparative study is framed within a broad historical perspective of social and cultural change in the Pacific. I discuss the importance of cultural and historical factors that have influenced canoe functions and the central meaning of the canoe to Islanders today. I collect oral traditions, historical records and ethnographic research data to build a comparative study of indigenous and contemporary canoe designs, their evolving usages and sociological purposes, as well as local reactions and adaptations in canoe usage, as reflected in gender relations and the division of labour. Debates about appropriate canoe usage frequently emerge during contemporary cultural revivals and demonstrations, and this thesis focuses especially on how the Islanders appropriate the canoe as a symbol of cultural revitalisation and identity. This suggests further future possibilities of the canoe as a dynamic symbol of the Islanders’ identities and a reflection of their oceanic indigeneity.

description: The installation of External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) enables to protect building envelope from natural weather effects and increase energy efficiency. As the system can be installed externally with simple work methods the usage is growing in European countries. The quality of the outcomeisinfluencedby design, material selection, and on-site construction process. The on-site fixing process of ETICS is guided by numerous regulations and guidelines which have aninsignificant impact on the actual construction technology. A list of Degradation Factors (DF) is created to classify the relevant on-site activities. Categorised on-site Degradation Factors are basing onvarious studies, standards, and regulations set for products. The shortcomings are categorised in eight sets: substrate, mixtures, adhesive, insulation, anchors, reinforcement, finishing layer and auxiliary materials. Additionally, a field study has been conducted to test the occurrenceof on-site shortcomingsin Estonia. The collected measurements and observations did not reveal severe and systematic installation failures, but random deviations occurred in most layers which might lead to the degradation of ETICS. The paper categoriseson-site shortcomings which can lead to theloss of technical performance during the service life of the façade.

description: Globalization has essentially empowered both newly industrialized and early industrialized countries but also caused considerable global challenges on economic, environmental, and social stability. Trends and risks of globalization and sustainability are specified by reports of global stakeholders as IMF, OECD, UN and its related organizations, WEF, WTO, and WWF. Competitive Sustainable Globalization (CSG) is introduced as a new paradigm and as a means to cope with the respective challenges. Competitive Sustainable Manufacturing (CSM) can be a fundamental enabler for CSG, proposing a global as well as a local approach for manufacturing. Potentials of value creation by manufacturing with reference to business models, education, and innovation are presented.

description: In this work we study cat maps with many degrees of freedom. Classical cat maps are classified using the Cayley parametrization of symplectic matrices and the closely associated center and chord generating functions. Particular attention is dedicated to loxodromic behavior, which is a new feature of two-dimensional maps. The maps are then quantized using a recently developed Weyl representation on the torus and the general condition on the Floquet angles is derived for a particular map to be quantizable. The semiclassical approximation is exact, regardless of the dimensionality or of the nature of the fixed points.

Spontaneously broken symmetry restoration of quantum fields in the vicinity of neutral and electrically charged black holes

description: We consider the restoration of a spontaneously broken symmetry of an interacting quantum scalar field around neutral, i.e., Schwarzschild, and electrically charged, i.e., Reissner-Nordström, black holes in four dimensions. This is done through a semiclassical self-consistent procedure, by solving the system of non-linear coupled equations describing the dynamics of the background field and the vacuum polarization. The black hole at its own horizon generates an indefinitely high temperature which decreases to the Hawking temperature at infinity. Due to the high temperature in its vicinity, there forms a bubble around the black hole in which the scalar field can only assume a value equal to zero, a minimum of energy. Thus, in this region the symmetry of the energy and the field is preserved. At the bubble radius, there is a phase transition in the value of the scalar field due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism. Indeed, outside the bubble radius the temperature is low enough such that the scalar field settles with a nonzero value in a new energy minimum, indicating a breaking of the symmetry in this outer region. Conversely, there is symmetry restoration from the outer region to the inner bubble close to the horizon. Specific properties that emerge from different black hole electric charges are also noteworthy. It is found that colder black holes, i.e., more charged ones, have a smaller bubble length of restored symmetry. In the extremal case the bubble has zero length, i.e., there is no bubble. Additionally, for colder black holes, it becomes harder to excite the quantum field modes, so the vacuum polarization has smaller values. In the extremal case, the black hole temperature is zero and the vacuum polarization is never excited.
