Haunting Lost Futures: The Crises of Space and Time under Neoliberalism in Support The Girls
Creators: name: Fleming, Victoria
Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: Andrew Bujalski’s film, Support the Girls, offers insight into the frayed social bonds shaped by neoliberalist ethos over the last forty years. These frayed bonds are indicative of the spatial-temporal suspension that have come to shape our lives under neoliberalism.


Trapped in the precarious yet perpetual present, haunted by the stabilizing dreams of the past, we concurrently mourn for our lost futures. Despite feeling anchored within our ostensibly immovable present, we nonetheless remain affectively bound to the belief that, perhaps, things will change this time as we continue engaging with the very objects and systems perpetuating our malaise, alienation, and precarity. In this article, I argue that Support the Girls represents the temporal and spatial disjuncture characterizing post-modernism and the age of neoliberalism. Support the Girls reflects the impasse marred by affective relations of cruel optimism as conceptualized by theorist Lauren Berlant that marks our temporal present, while the characters continue occupying the non-places defining Mark Fisher’s notion of hauntology and the slow cancellation of the future. As illustrated in Support the Girls, this temporal and spatial dispossession defining late capitalism has stripped Lisa (played by Regina Hall), the general manager of a local Hootersesque restaurant and sports bar called Double Whammies, and the cabal of young women she manages, of any material relations of collective solidarity, replacing these collective bonds with empathy as a form of conflict resolution.

Autonomous mobile robot navigation with GPU acceleration for unmanned UV-C based decontamination applications
Creators: name: Vachhani, Birju
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Navigation is a complex robotic problem solving which makes the mobile robot intelligent for decision making in dynamic environments. The objective of this thesis is to achieve autonomous mapping and navigation of a 2D environment for unmanned decontamination and sterilization of rooms in facilities such as hospitals and hotels, where UV-based degermination system is carried by a four-wheeled robot during the navigation. The challenge arises from the intensive online computation needed in the navigation process, as a  Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system is employed for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and obstacle detection, and occupancy grid is employed as the data structure to represent surrounding environments in robotics. However, path planning on an occupancy grid is computationally intensive. For example, path planning on a 25m x 25m grid can involve processing of 250,000 grid cells on a 0.05m resolution grid. In this project, we developed a parallel computation framework to substantially reduce the processing times, and thereby, achieve dynamic obstacle avoidance and autonomous exploration. Specifically, a obstacle inflation module was created using parallel computing. Building on that, a graph based path planner was also developed for autonomous as well as user instructed navigation. The system was thoroughly tested in various static and dynamic indoor environments.

description: We consider the question of existence of "bell-shaped" (i.e. non-increasing for x>0 and non-decreasing for x<0) traveling waves for the strain variable of the generalized Hertzian model describing, in the special case of a p=3/2 exponent, the dynamics of a granular chain. The proof of existence of such waves is based on the English and Pego [Proceedings of the AMS 133, 1763 (2005)] formulation of the problem. More specifically, we construct an appropriate energy functional, for which we show that the constrained minimization problem over bell-shaped entries has a solution. We also provide an alternative proof of the Friesecke-Wattis result [Comm. Math. Phys 161, 394 (1994)], by using the same approach (but where the minimization is not constrained over bell-shaped curves). We briefly discuss and illustrate numerically the implications on the doubly exponential decay properties of the waves, as well as touch upon the modifications of these properties in the presence of a finite precompression force in the model.

Structure-Preserving Compressing Primitives: Vector Commitments and Accumulators

description: bstract. Compressing primitives such as accumulators and vector commitments, allow to represent large data sets with some compact, ideally constant-sized value. Moreover, they supportoperations like proving membership or non-membership with minimal, ideally also constantsized, storage and communication overhead. In recent years, these primitives have found numerous practical applications, with many constructions based on various hardness assumptions.So far, however, it has been elusive to construct these primitives in a strictly structure-preservingsetting, i.e., in a bilinear group in a way that messages, commitments and openings are all elements of the two source groups. Interestingly, backed by existing impossibility results, not evenconventional commitments with such constraints are known in this setting. However, in manypractical applications it would be convenient or even required to be structure-preserving, e.g.,to commit or accumulate group elements.In this paper we investigate whether strictly structure-preserving compressing primitives canbe realized. We close this gap by presenting the first strictly structure-preserving commitmentthat is shrinking (and in particular constant-size). We circumvent existing impossibility resultsby employing a more structured message space, i.e., a variant of the Diffie-Hellman messagespace. Our main results are constructions of structure-preserving vector commitments as wellas structure-preserving accumulators. We first discuss generic constructions and then presentconcrete constructions under the Diffie-Hellman Exponent assumption. To demonstrate theusefulness of our constructions, we discuss various applications.

description: Experimental observations of typical kinds of synchronization transitions are reported in unidirectionally coupled time-delay electronic circuits with a threshold nonlinearity and two time delays, namely feedback delay $τ_1$ and coupling delay $τ_2$. We have observed transitions from anticipatory to lag via complete synchronization and their inverse counterparts with excitatory and inhibitory couplings, respectively, as a function of the coupling delay $τ_2$. The anticipating and lag times depend on the difference between the feedback and the coupling delays. A single stability condition for all the different types of synchronization is found to be valid as the stability condition is independent of both the delays. Further, the existence of different kinds of synchronizations observed experimentally is corroborated by numerical simulations, and from the changes in the Lyapunov exponents of the coupled time-delay systems.

Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: Using the piece of video art “Rust, Mold, and Cracks”, created by the author, this paper addresses questions related to space, ruins, and different temporalities. Calling upon the authors Georg Simmel and Milton Santos, the text proposes an approach to ruins that goes further than dualist concepts such as abandoned/not abandoned, or modern/outdated. It also discusses the role of Nature in this scenario. In light of this situation, space and time are under mutable reorganisation, as pointed out by David Harvey. Different arrangements between them shall produce diverse modernities. Considering images as objects resulting from this spatiotemporal modification, this article comments on their accumulation.

Bose-glass, superfluid, and rung-Mott phases of hard-core bosons in disordered two-leg ladders

description: By means of Monte Carlo techniques, we study the role of disorder on a system of hard-core bosons in a two-leg ladder with both intra-chain ($t$) and inter-chain ($t^\prime$) hoppings. We find that the phase diagram as a function of the boson density, disorder strength, and $t^\prime/t$ is far from being trivial. This contrasts the case of spin-less fermions where standard localization arguments apply and an Anderson-localized phase pervades the whole phase diagram. A compressible Bose-glass phase always intrudes between the Mott insulator with zero (or one) bosons per site and the superfluid that is stabilized for weak disorder. At half filling, there is a direct transition between a (gapped) rung-Mott insulator and a Bose glass, which is driven by exponentially rare regions where disorder is suppressed. Finally, by doping the rung-Mott insulator, a direct transition to the superfluid is possible only in the clean system, whereas the Mott phase is always surrounded by the a Bose glass when disorder is present. The phase diagram based on our numerical evidence is finally reported.

Inertial detection of unusual driving events for self-driving
Creators: name: Wang, Hairong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: While modern self-driving vehicles have shown their impressive capabilities towards offering new mobility to millions of people, it still remains challenging to build fully dependable and safe self-driving systems. To ensure the dependability of automated driving, the self-driving system is not only required to understand common road situations, but also widely different unusual events (e.g., objects on the roadway, pedestrian crossing highway, deer standing next to the road, etc.), which are very rare but more likely to cause unanticipated accidents.To detect unusual events, existing approaches seek to collect them by driving millions of miles with self-driving prototypes. But there still remains uncertainty because of limited miles covered. In contrast, this thesis proposes automatic unusual driving events identification algorithms, which can detect unusual cases through inertial sensing from in-vehicle devices in human-driven vehicles. This approach can be scaled to a much larger number of vehicles and thereby cover larger driving distances. The approach involves monitoring human driver reactions based on inertial sensors (e.g., accelerometer and gyroscope) and demonstrating that they are useful indicators of unusual driving events.Our inertial detection approach includes three stages. At first, we apply a potential emergency period (braking and swerving) detection to detect a sudden driver reaction, which reflects situations that challenge human drivers. Then we utilize three features to extract different properties from the detected periods. Finally, we propose a feature fusion method to fuse the features in an accuracy- driven way. Therefore, by extracting the features from the potential unusual periods, we can detect hazardous events from a large data set automatically. Besides, in order to improve the efficiency of processing a large scale of dataset, we also provide an alternative approach to process data in parallel pipelines in the cloud.We evaluate whether the inertially identified driving events match events that are manually labeled as unusual based on more than 120 hours of real-world driving data. The result shows the proposed fusion method outperforms the baseline methods with an 82% accuracy improvement for braking events as well as a 94% accuracy improvement for swerving events. To improve the dependability of automated driving systems, such detected events could be used in simulation tests to gradually refine self-driving software.
Testing stellar population synthesis models with Sloan Digital Sky Survey colors of M31's globular clusters

description: Accurate stellar population synthesis models are vital in understanding the properties and formation histories of galaxies. In order to calibrate and test the reliability of these models, they are often compared with observations of star clusters. However, relatively little work has compared these models in the ugriz filters, despite the recent widespread use of this filter set. In this paper, we compare the integrated colors of globular clusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with those predicted from commonly used simple stellar population (SSP) models. The colors are based on SDSS observations of M31's clusters and provide the largest population of star clusters with accurate photometry available from the survey. As such, it is a unique sample with which to compare SSP models with SDSS observations. From this work, we identify a significant offset between the SSP models and the clusters' g-r colors, with the models predicting colors which are too red by g-r\sim0.1. This finding is consistent with previous observations of luminous red galaxies in the SDSS, which show a similar discrepancy. The identification of this offset in globular clusters suggests that it is very unlikely to be due to a minority population of young stars. The recently updated SSP model of Maraston & Stromback better represents the observed g-r colors. This model is based on the empirical MILES stellar library, rather than theoretical libraries, suggesting an explanation for the g-r discrepancy.

description: We present a methodology for modelling population dynamics with formal means of computer science. This allows unambiguous description of systems and application of analysis tools such as simulators and model checkers. In particular, the dynamics of a population of Aedes albopictus (a species of mosquito) and its modelling with the Stochastic Calculus of Looping Sequences (Stochastic CLS) are considered. The use of Stochastic CLS to model population dynamics requires an extension which allows environmental events (such as changes in the temperature and rainfalls) to be taken into account. A simulator for the constructed model is developed via translation into the specification language Maude, and used to compare the dynamics obtained from the model with real data.

Parasite uniquely features class issues and social criticism instead of depicting typical class struggles between the rich and the poor. Parasite addresses the class structure in transition and highlights the precarious class on the margin. By personalizing class relations into family relations, Parasite features the changing family system along with the breakup of the conventional family. Parasite picks up the very point of this social change and the transformation of family types.

If you build it, will they come? Using historical development patterns to better anticipate future development scenarios for cumulative effects assessment
Creators: name: Lerner, Jackie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: In Canada and the United States, as in many other jurisdictions worldwide, environmental impact assessments required as part of the permitting process for proposed resource development projects include cumulative effects assessments. These aim to predict a proposed project’s environmental impacts in combination with those of past, present, and future projects. This last category of projects has been problematic for analysts. Detailed information about future projects is usually scant, and this limitation is often cited as a justification for excluding future projects from consideration. Conversely, a more speculative approach to estimating the potential economic benefits of future projects is widely accepted. Thus, the authorities responsible for permitting projects are often given restrictive assessments of environmental impacts and optimistic assessments of economic benefits. The goal of this dissertation is to introduce a practical approach to balancing the asymmetry described above—a method for considering induced development in CEA in order to give potential environmental impacts the same weight that potential economic benefits currently receive. To do this, I use the historical record to discern patterns of development that followed infrastructure. I do so in a specific geographic context and so develop empirical evidence of how projects build on top of preceding projects’ legacy of proximate services, labour, water and energy supplies, and routes to market. I then use this evidence to forecast the probable outcomes of permitting a proposed project in terms of likely future induced development. The initial iteration of the method uses British Columbia as a case study, and makes use of data on that province’s historical development. This first iteration is intended as a means of exploring and demonstrating the method’s value in a specific application, while providing a framework that can be refined and applied to other contexts.

The induced friction on a probe moving in a nonequilibrium medium

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using a powerful combination of projection-operator method and path-space response theory, we derive the fluctuation dynamics of a slow inertial probe coupled to a steady nonequilibrium medium under the assumption of time-scale separation. The nonequilibrium is realized by external nongradient driving on the medium particles or by their (athermal) active self-propulsion. The resulting friction on the probe is an explicit time-correlation for medium observables and is decomposed into two terms, one entropic, proportional to the noise variance as in the Einstein relation for equilibrium media, and a frenetic term that can take both signs. As an illustration, we give the exact expressions for the linear friction coefficient and noise amplitude of a probe in a rotating run-and-tumble medium. We find a transition to absolute negative probe friction as the nonequilibrium medium exhibits sufficient and persistent rotational current. There, the run-away of the probe to high speeds realizes a nonequilibrium-induced acceleration. Simulations show that its speed finally saturates, yielding a symmetric stationary probe-momentum distribution with two peaks.

description: \u000aThe historian A. T. Q. Stewart once remarked that in Ireland all history is applied history-that is, the study of the past prosecutes political conflict by other means. Indeed, nearly twenty years after the 1998 Belfast Agreement, 'dealing with the past' remains near the top of the political agenda in Northern Ireland. The essays in this volume, by leading experts in the fields of Irish and British history, politics, and international studies, explore the ways in which competing 'social' or 'collective memories' of the Northern Ireland 'Troubles' continue to shape the post-conflict political landscape.\u000a \u000aThe contributors to this volume embrace a diversity of perspectives: the Provisional Republican version of events, as well as that of its Official Republican rival; Loyalist understandings of the recent past as well as the British Army's authorized for-the-record account; the importance of commemoration and memorialization to Irish Republican culture; and the individual memory of one of the noncombatants swept up in the conflict. Tightly specific, sharply focused, and rich in local detail, these essays make a significant contribution to the burgeoning literature of history and memory. The book will interest students and scholars of Irish studies, contemporary British history, memory studies, conflict resolution, and political science.\u000a \u000aContributors: Jim Smyth, Ian McBride, Ruan O'Donnell, Aaron Edwards, James W.

description: For a long time, Games Research suffered from what Jaakko Stenros and Annika Waern classified as the Digital Fallacy – the tendency to regard analog games as a subset of digital games rather than the other way around. Where boardgames were once associated with the past of games and learning and digital games with the future, there are now fresh insights and applications for boardgames in learning – alongside with their renaissance as games for entertainment. Even as boardgames found new relevance in learning, the already-recognized possibilities in digital games for learning have continued to expand, with more flexible and ubiquitous tools and platforms allowing for a greater variety of avenues of learning research and practice to be explored. Augmented and mixed reality as well as virtual reality are frontiers in learning that beg for further exploration.

description: Hadron masses show a specific dependence on the quark masses. Therefore, the variation of these masses can cause a resonance in a hadronic scattering amplitude to become a bound state. Consequently, the amplitude exhibits a non-analytic behavior at this transition. Crossed amplitudes, where the resonance can be exchanged in the t-channel, can be shown to exhibit the same phenomenon by s-->t analytic continuation. This entails possible kinks in lattice quark mass extrapolations needed to compute hadronic observables.

description: Sustainable production system: characteristics of animals and products of the Porc Negre Mallorquí

The Porc Negre Mallorquí (PNM), recognized as an endangered breed, is the only pig breed native in the Balearic Islands. The formation of this population derives from adaptation process since the arrival of the first inhabitants. Medium size, black hair, drooping ears and “tassels” under the neck, characterize this breed. The current 2018 census identifies 61 farms with 1523 breeding and 3497 fattening pigs. This breed has adapted to Mediterranean agro-climatic conditions, with a diet based on pastures, cereals, legumes, figs, almonds, acorns and Mediterranean bushes, with barley supplements and green peas. Performance depends on available resources, with an average productivity of 14 piglets/sow/year and post-weaning growth of about 400-500 g/day until slaughter (140-160 kg live weight). In the European Union TREASURE project, a lower slaughter yield (~75.1%) and an exceptionally higher fat content (thickness of back fat ~5.5 cm) than those of conventional breeds were confirmed. Significant differences also exist in the quality of the meat, with higher content of fat (~6-8%) and mono-unsaturated fatty acids (~50%) in the loin, a darker colour, and a weaker shearing force. This black pig breed has been consolidated due to the development of the Protected Geographical Indication quality brand for "Sobrassada de Mallorca de Porc Negre" as a main traditional product and local sales of the PNM piglet ("Porcella"), within a sustainable production system.

Using Game-based Learning in Order to Enhance Decision Making Under Uncertainty

description: How do people make their decisions? Searching for the answer in the relevant literature, we can find that decisions are based either on rationality or intuition. Rational thinking is mainly observed in situations characterized by certainty (in terms of data or the consequences of decisions), while heuristic intuitive methods are mainly observed in situations of uncertainty. Training for the enhancement of decision making skills usually employs problem-based activities which mainly focus either only on rationality or only on intuition. However, problems in real life cannot always be solved with the contribution of only one way of thinking. In a decision making process often rationality works up to an extent and then intuition will lead to the final decision. For this reason, we designed and developed a game-based learning activity that enhances both rational and intuitive decision making skills. More specifically, we created a decision scenario in a virtual environment in which participants were provided with uncertainty-based information in their decision making process. As they tried to follow a rational decision making process, most of them realized that based on the given information they were confused and they had to decide intuitively at the end. This experiential learning activity was a tickler for the participants to decide under uncertainty and trust their intuition.

Reasoning about Social Choice Functions

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Multiagent Systems (cs.MA)

description: We introduce a logic specifically designed to support reasoning about social choice functions. The logic includes operators to capture strategic ability, and operators to capture agent preferences. We establish a correspondence between formulae in the logic and properties of social choice functions, and show that the logic is expressively complete with respect to social choice functions, i.e., that every social choice function can be characterised as a formula of the logic. We prove that the logic is decidable, and give a complete axiomatization. To demonstrate the value of the logic, we show in particular how it can be applied to the problem of determining whether a social choice function is strategy-proof.
On the feasibility of mounting bender elements in a flexible wall permeameter

description: Zoned embankment dams comprise some of Canada’s largest and most important infrastructure. A phenomenon that has emerged in recent times as a matter of concern for dam safety risk management is seepage-induced internal erosion in embankment dams and their foundations. A candidate method of monitoring the progression of internal erosion in the field is that of crosshole shear wave velocity measurement. To inform the interpretation of shear wave velocity data, the relation between change in shear wave velocity and occurrence of internal erosion must be characterized. This study examines the feasibility of equipping a flexible wall permeameter (FWP) with bender elements in order to measure shear wave velocity. Bender elements were designed and fabricated with a custom mounting system and a FWP was upgraded to accommodate the bender elements. The study was devised to determine if the changes made to the FWP device, including a 6 % reduction in the cross-sectional area available for flow, affect the seepage regime through the test specimen or internal erosion of its finer fraction, from tests conducted on three different gradations of glass beads. Comparisons of tests performed with and without bender elements indicate no systematic change to the seepage regime or the internal erosional response of the specimens. Thus, the inclusion of bender elements in the flexible wall permeameter, for purposes of shear wave velocity measurements, appears feasible.

description: In the tangent plane at any point of a surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space we consider an invariant linear map of Weingarten-type and find a geometrically determined moving frame field. Writing derivative formulas of Frenet-type for this frame field, we obtain eight invariant functions. We prove a fundamental theorem of Bonnet-type, stating that these eight invariants under some natural conditions determine the surface up to a motion. We show that the basic geometric classes of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space, determined by conditions on their invariants, can be interpreted in terms of the properties of two geometric figures: the tangent indicatrix, which is a conic in the tangent plane, and the normal curvature ellipse. We construct a family of surfaces with flat normal connection.
