Reading skin in Victorian newspapers: an analysis of British newspapers’ coverage of human skin, 1840-1900
Creators: name: Garrisi, Diana
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: This thesis employs keyword-based searches in digital newspaper archives to identify recurrent patterns and themes in reports concerning human skin between the years 1840 and 1900 in Britain. The thesis argues that Victorian newspapers used the skin to foster three main Victorian social campaigns: the sanitation movement, which aimed at improving health and disseminating awareness about the importance of personal hygiene and cleanliness; the anti-Poor Law campaign, which created opposition to the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act, in particular to the establishment of deterrent workhouses; and the campaign to abolish flogging in the military, a movement started earlier in the century which was to see its greatest achievement in 1881 with the official suppression of the practice after a long series of legal reforms. Regular news coverage of stories related to the human skin fulfilled two more purposes, the epistemological and the commercial. It enhanced the popular understanding of dermatology and attracted revenue in the form of advertisements from the booming skin products market. The thesis is broken down into six main chapters. Following the literature review and a methodological section, the third chapter shows the two main trends that dominated the media portrayal of the skin within both advertisements and news. The subsequent chapter explores how the idea of the skin as a stratified organ was disseminated through the news coverage of a flogging inquest by The Times newspaper. The fifth chapter continues examining The Times but moves from the anti-flogging campaign to the anti-Poor Law campaign. This section explores how the paper covered cases regarding the mistreated skin of the poorest classes and cases of death by starvation and neglect. The final chapter looks at the local and national news coverage of occupational skin diseases, with a focus on coal miners and chimney sweeps. The thesis proposes a new perspective on the history of journalism: it looks at the news coverage of a specific aspect of human anatomy and shows how this fitted the Victorian newspapers regarding four main social issues: public health, poverty, the conditions of soldiers and the condition of the working class.

description: In multiple scientific and technological applications we face the problem of having low dimensional data to be justified by a linear model defined in a high dimensional parameter space. The difference in dimensionality makes the problem ill-defined: the model is consistent with the data for many values of its parameters. The objective is to find the probability distribution of parameter values consistent with the data, a problem that can be cast as the exploration of a high dimensional convex polytope. In this work we introduce a novel algorithm to solve this problem efficiently. It provides results that are statistically indistinguishable from currently used numerical techniques while its running time scales linearly with the system size. We show that the algorithm performs robustly in many abstract and practical applications. As working examples we simulate the effects of restricting reaction fluxes on the space of feasible phenotypes of a {\em genome} scale E. Coli metabolic network and infer the traffic flow between origin and destination nodes in a real communication network.

Which spectral distortions does $Λ$CDM actually predict?

description: Ever refined cosmological measurements have established the $Λ$CDM concordance model, with the key cosmological parameters being determined to percent-level precision today. This allows us to make explicit predictions for the spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) created by various processes occurring in the early Universe. Here, we summarize all guaranteed CMB distortions and assess their total uncertainty within $Λ$CDM. We also compare simple methods for approximating them, highlighting some of the subtle aspects when it comes to interpreting future distortion measurements. Under simplified assumptions, we briefly study how well a PIXIE-like experiment may measure the main distortion parameters (i.e., $μ$ and $y$). Next generation CMB spectrometers are expected to detect the distortion caused by reionization and structure formation at extremely high significance. They will also be able to constrain the small-scale power spectrum through the associated $μ$-distortion, improving limits on running of the spectral index. Distortions from the recombination era, adiabatic cooling of matter relative to the CMB and dark matter annihilation require a higher sensitivity than PIXIE in its current design. The crucial next step is an improved modeling of foregrounds and instrumental aspects, as we briefly discuss here.

The administrator character from Renaissance humanism to modernism: an examination of the authorial tradition of using characterisation to represent the mundane processes of their contemporary soundings, and as means through which to engage in discourses of power
Creators: name: Dempsey, Martin
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: This PhD aims to investigate the development of a character type, referred to in this thesis as the ‘administrator’ - the character used by authors as a means to reflect through character both the mundane processes of their contemporary soundings, and as a means through which to address contemporary discourses of power. This character has historically functioned to alter the course of plots, determine the fates of other characters, and dictate the pace of a narrative, yet despite having pervaded literature and wider culture over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth century, the character of the administrator has evaded detailed academic analysis of how and why such characters appear to be both wholly implicated in the plot’s outcome and yet are powerless to prevent the outcomes that it heralds. The goal of this thesis is, then, to trace and analyse a major aspect of characterisation that has seldom been made explicit in literary studies: the importance of the role that characterisation plays in the text’s relationship with systematised power. By using the text's principal administrator character, or means of characterising systematised power, as a prism through which to view the text, we may attempt to separate those aspects of the text which critique contemporary social hierarchies from those aspects of the text which reflect, or even affirm them, from the period of the early Renaissance through to the beginning of the twentieth century. Through an 'archaeology' of such a character type, the thesis shows how administrator characters have been used historically to incorporate the author's impressions of new organisational structures and the growing influence of certain institutions, from Machiavelli, More and Shakespeare through to the beginnings of modernism. The primary texts of this thesis have been selected as those which coincide with and appear to address major reconfigurations of collective organisation. By tracing the roots of the administrator character trope, as a kind of pre-history of our contemporary power relations (both in artistic representation and in our own relationships with systematised power), back to their earliest appearances in the Early Modern period, this thesis also seeks to contribute to a greater understanding of both the historical production of, and forms of subjectivity incorporated into, literary texts.

description: We consider an effective viscous pressure as the result of a backreaction of inhomogeneities within Buchert's formalism. The use of an effective metric with a time-dependent curvature radius allows us to calculate the luminosity distance of the backreaction model. This quantity is different from its counterpart for a "conventional" spatially flat bulk viscous fluid universe. Both expressions are tested against the SNIa data of the Union2.1 sample with only marginally different results for the distance-redshift relation and in accordance with the $Λ$CDM model. Future observations are expected to be able to discriminate among these models on the basis of indirect measurements of the curvature evolution.

Acupuncture during stroke rehabilitation: development of a manual for researching a complex intervention
Creators: name: Citkovitz, Claudia
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Evidence on acupuncture during stroke rehabilitation is inconsistent, with methodological problems including inappropriately standardized treatment protocols. This project developed and assessed feasibility of methods to study an individualized acupuncture intervention during acute stroke rehabilitation. DESIGN AND METHODS This three-part project aimed to 1) develop a manual for post-stroke acupuncture therapy; 2) determine feasibility of methods for future study and 3) explore stakeholder perceptions of acupuncture’s impact. First, a treatment manual was developed. Second, a cohort study used the manual to treat 48 inpatients, who had elected acupuncture treatment(n=25) or usual care only (n=23). Acupuncture was given 3-4 times weekly for 2-4 weeks. Outcomes assessed for feasibility included the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Modified Rankin Scale of global disability (mRS) and assessments of sleep, swallowing and bowel function(at baseline and discharge, with mRS also at 6-month follow-up). Confidence intervals were compared across mild, moderate and severe subgroups. The third study assessed stakeholder perceptions of acupuncture impact. Acupuncture patients were briefly interviewed, with surveys given to family, rehabilitation therapists, nurses and physicians. Impacts of acupuncture were identified using thematic analysis, and compared quantitatively across severity groups. RESULTS Improvement in FIM scores was similar in self-selected cohorts choosing acupuncture (Mdn=37.5) and usual care (Mdn=35), 95% CI [-6, 6]. FIMiii motor domain scores trended higher in the moderate subgroup only. Feasibility criteria were met for the outcomes of 6-month mRS, bowel function, and sleep. Findings of Project 3 included a wide range of perceived benefits, with no negative impact. Benefits included improved upper and lower extremity motor function, walking, relaxation, and pain reduction. Staff reported better mood and participation in physical and occupational therapy. Reported benefits differed across severity subgroups, but proportion of stakeholders perceiving benefit was similar. CONCLUSIONS Further research on acupuncture during stroke rehabilitation is feasible, given mutually appropriate intervention, patient population and outcome measures. The widely used FIM appears inappropriate for future study, except possibly for patients in the moderate range of severity. No outcome reached statistical significance in this small non-randomized study. Trends favored the acupuncture group on most secondary outcomes including 6-month mRS, sleep and bowel function. Additional directions for further study include the relationship between cortical damage and acupuncture responsiveness, and possible benefit to the rehabilitation process itself.

description: We use our high resolution He-lamp based, tunable laser-based ARPES measurements and density functional theory calculations to study the electronic properties of LaBi, a binary system that was proposed to be a member of a new family of topological semimetals. Both bulk and surface bands are present in the spectra. The dispersion of the surface state is highly unusual. It resembles a Dirac cone, but upon closer inspection we can clearly detect an energy gap. The bottom band follows roughly a parabolic dispersion. The dispersion of the top band remains very linear, "V" shape like, with the tip approaching very closely to the extrapolated location of Dirac point. Such asymmetric mass acquisition is highly unusual and opens a possibility of a new topological phenomena that has yet to be understood.

Exact solution for a sample space reducing stochastic process

description: Stochastic processes wherein the size of the state space is changing as a function of time offer models for the emergence of scale-invariant features observed in complex systems. I consider such a sample-space reducing (SSR) stochastic process that results in a random sequence of strictly decreasing integers $\{x(t)\}$, $0\le t \le τ$, with boundary conditions $x(0) = N$ and $x(τ)$ = 1. This model is shown to be exactly solvable: $\mathcal{P}_N(τ)$, the probability that the process survives for time $τ$ is analytically evaluated. In the limit of large $N$, the asymptotic form of this probability distribution is Gaussian, with mean and variance both varying logarithmically with system size: $\langle τ\rangle \sim \ln N$ and $σ_τ^{2} \sim \ln N$. Correspondence can be made between survival time statistics in the SSR process and record statistics of i.i.d. random variables.

description: In this paper, we discuss two features of the noncommmutative geometry and spectral action approach to the Standard Model: the fact that the model is inherently Euclidean, and that it requires a quadrupling of the fermionic degrees of freedom. We show how the two issues are intimately related. We give a precise prescription for the Wick rotation from the Euclidean theory to the Lorentzian one, eliminating the extra degrees of freedom. This requires not only projecting out mirror fermions, as has been done so far, and which leads to the correct Pfaffian, but also the elimination of the remaining extra degrees of freedom. The remaining doubling has to be removed in order to recover the correct Fock space of the physical (Lorentzian) theory. In order to get a Spin(1,3) invariant Lorentzian theory from a Spin(4) invariant Euclidean theory such an elimination must be performed after the Wick rotation. Differences between the Euclidean and Lorentzian case are described in detail, in a pedagogical way.

description: We consider a non-equilibrium system of interacting emitters described by the XXZ model, whose excitonic transitions are spatially and spectrally coupled to a single mode cavity. We demonstrate that the output radiation field is sensitive to an interplay between the hopping ($J$) and the interactions ($U$) of the excitons. Moderate values of the short-ranged interaction are shown to induce laser with maximal output at the Heisenberg point ($U=J$). In the laser regime, charge-charge correlations emerge and they are shown to strongly depend on the interaction-hopping ratio. In particular, the system shows charge-density correlations below the Heisenberg point and ferromagnetic correlations beyond the Heisenberg point. This contrast to the equilibrium behavior of the XXZ chain occurs since the laser explores highly excited states of the emitters.

Environmental flows for English rivers: a focus on modified catchments
Creators: name: Neachell, Emma
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: Increased human demands upon water resources and growing uncertainty surrounding climate change have focused attention on the need to determine environmental flows (e-flows) to protect and sustain river ecosystems. Internationally there have been several advances but within England an anthropocentric approach to water resources management has led to polices that set minimum flows founded in fear of water shortage. By exploring the history of flow management in England and its influence on current practice, and by introducing the concept of ‘ecological drought’ as a basis for managing future flows, this thesis makes two valuable contributions to the e-flows debate. It also explores the influence of George Baxter who more than 50 years ago proposed that compensation flows below dams could be varied to meet the seasonal ecological requirements without reducing water supplies. In this thesis, hydrological assessments are made of watercourses spanning the ‘natural – heavily modified’ continuum located across the River Trent and Great Ouse catchments of central England, using a dataset of 48 stations and approximately 1000 station-years. Analyses highlight a variety of ‘ecological drought’ responses, in magnitude, timing and duration, with extreme low flows being rarely observed on all watercourses in the same year. This suggests e-flow determinations at the local, sub-catchment, scale would have benefits for environmental protection and water supply. A variety of potential e-flow metrics are examined and Baxter’s hypothesis tested. It is shown that supporting flows during the key ecological periods of spring and autumn, while sustaining current levels of abstraction, would risk degradation of the rivers through the increased frequency and duration of extreme low flows. Finally, the thesis examines practical issues impacting on any future e-flows policies relating to climate change and hydrometry.
Role of Dislocations on Martensitic Transformation and Microstructure through Molecular Dynamic Simulations

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Metals and alloy materials

description: Martensitic transformation underlies the phenomena of super-elasticity within shape memory alloys and the production of advanced steels. Experimentation has demonstrated that defects and microstructural changes strongly influence this process. With simulations granting up to an atomic-level understanding of the impact that grain boundaries and precipitates have upon the solid-to-solid phase transformation. Yet the role that dislocations partake in the martensitic transformation and its microstructures remains unclear or disputed.
 Therefore, we utilize large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the forward and reverse transformation of martensitic material modeled after Ni63Al37 shape via thermal cycling loading. The simulations indicate that dislocations retain martensite well above the martensite start temperature and behave as nucleation sites for the martensite. We found that a reduction in dislocation density with cycle correlated with a decrement in the Ms and As transition temperatures, in agreement with the experiment. It was found that competing martensite variants could develop stable domains as dislocation density reduced sufficiently which resulted in multi-domain structures. Furthermore, the critical nuclei size of the martensite variant was able to be extracted from our results.
Physical electrostatics of small field emitter arrays/clusters

description: This paper improves understanding of electrostatic influences on apex field enhancement factors (AFEFs) for small field emitter arrays. Using the "floating sphere at emitter-plate potential" (FSEPP) model, it re-examines the electrostatics and mathematics of three simple systems of identical post-like emitters. For the isolated emitter, various approaches are noted. On need consider only the effects of sphere charges and (for separated emitters) image charges. For the 2-emitter system, formulas are found for "charge-blunting" and "neighbour-field" effects, for widely spaced and "sufficiently closely spaced" emitters. Mutual charge-blunting is always dominant, with a related (negative) fractional AFEF-change δ_two. For sufficiently small emitter spacing c, |δ_two| varies as 1/c; for large spacing, |δ_two| decreases as 1/c^3. In a 3-emitter linear array, differential charge-blunting and differential neighbor-field effects occur, but the former are dominant, and cause the "exposed" outer emitters to have higher AFEF (γ_0) than the central emitter (γ_1). Formulas are found for the exposure ratio Ξ=γ_0/γ_1, for large and for sufficiently small separations. The FSEPP model for an isolated emitter has accuracy around 30%. Line-charge models (LCMs) are an alternative, but an apparent difficulty with recent LCM models is identified. Better descriptions of array electrostatics may involve developing good fitting equations for AFEFs derived from accurate numerical solution of Laplace's equation, perhaps with equation form(s) guided qualitatively by FSEPP-model results. In existing fitting formulas, the AFEF-reduction decreases exponentially as c increases, which differs from FSEPP-model formulas. FSEPP models might provide a useful guide to the qualitative behaviour of small field emitter clusters larger than those investigated.

description: A novel technique for measuring the mass of the top quark that uses only the kinematic properties of its charged decay products is presented. Top quark pair events with final states with one or two charged leptons and hadronic jets are selected from the data set of 8 TeV proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. By reconstructing secondary vertices inside the selected jets and computing the invariant mass of the system formed by the secondary vertex and an isolated lepton, an observable is constructed that is sensitive to the top quark mass that is expected to be robust against the energy scale of hadronic jets. The main theoretical systematic uncertainties, concerning the modeling of the fragmentation and hadronization of b quarks and the reconstruction of secondary vertices from the decays of b hadrons, are studied. A top quark mass of 173.68 +/- 0.20 (stat) +1.58 -0.97 (syst) GeV is measured. The overall systematic uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in the b quark fragmentation and the modeling of kinematic properties of the top quark.

description: The recent work by Iha et al shows an upper bound on mass anomalous dimension $γ_m$ of multi-flavor massless QCD at the renormalization group fixed point from the conformal bootstrap in $SU(N_F)_V$ symmetric conformal field theories under the assumption that the fixed point is realizable with the lattice regularization based on staggered fermions. We show that the almost identical but slightly stronger bound applies to the regularization based on Wilson fermions (or domain wall fermions) by studying the conformal bootstrap in $SU(N_f)_L \times SU(N_f)_R$ symmetric conformal field theories. For $N_f=8$, our bound implies $γ_m < 1.31$ to avoid dangerously irrelevant operators that are not compatible with the lattice symmetry.

description: A majority of people in LMICs live in cities now and over a third of them live in slums with poor housing conditions. Slums are generally areas with poor housing conditions and limited tenure security. Poor housing conditions may impose constraints on slum dwellers' ability to grow out of poverty by limiting their human capital attainment and restricting their employment options (Marx et al, 2013). In this project, I estimate the causal impact of giving slum households tenure security in the land they currently occupy and giving them financial assistance to build a house there. I study a program implemented by the government and exploit exogenous variation in who benefitted from this program. I study the impact of the program on three main categories of outcomes: (i) slum dwellers' total household income which could be impacted if the families start or expand household businesses in the new houses; (ii) health and subjective well being measures; (iii) investments in complementary household assets like durable electronic goods and furniture. I will study the mechanisms through which this impacts the households by studying their employment choices and time use. I will also estimate the general equilibrium effects of the program using the variation in proportion of slum dwellers who can receive the program across different slums. I am currently running a survey to measure these outcome variables. I pre-register the outcome variables and analysis plan here.

An Analysis of Third Party Tracking of Abortion Data
Creators: name: Jagdagdorj, Bolor-Erdene
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: Third party tracking is common across the Internet and is used for tailored advertisements towards individuals. These practices threaten the privacy of people, especially those seeking an abortion. The tracking of abortion-related data is especially important in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v Jackson Women Health Organization, which abolished the federal right to abortion that was previously established in Roe v Wade. The right to abortions is now decided by each state, many of which have severely limited or completely banned abortions. As laws and restrictions are changing regarding abortions, privacy is an increasing concern for women seeking abortions as well as individuals assisting in or providing abortions. This research examines third party tracking across abortion websites by analyzing advertisement content after visiting abortion websites. We found that while the overall distribution of advertisements were unaffected by abortion-seeking behavior, the ratio of health/pregnancy related ads were significantly higher for the conditions that visited abortion related websites. This study suggests many ideas for future research and demonstrates the challenges and importance of measuring third party tracking requests for individuals seeking abortions.

description: We evaluate the two-photon exchange (TPE) correction to the muon-proton elastic scattering at small momentum transfer. Besides the elastic (nucleon) intermediate state contribution, which is calculated exactly, we account for the inelastic intermediate states by expressing the TPE process approximately through the forward doubly virtual Compton scattering. The input in our evaluation is given by the unpolarized proton structure functions and by one subtraction function. For the latter, we provide an explicit evaluation based on a Regge fit of high-energy proton structure function data. It is found that, for the kinematics of the forthcoming muon-proton elastic scattering data of the MUSE experiment, the elastic TPE contribution dominates, and the size of the inelastic TPE contributions is within the anticipated error of the forthcoming data.

description: Single phase cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4, CFO) nanoparticles of a controlled size (~ 6 nm) exhibiting superparamagnetic properties have been synthesized by hydrothermal technique using oleic acid (OA) as surfactant. The oleic acid coated CFO nanoparticles are stable in non-polar organic media, such as hexane but are not well dispersible in water. The surface of these snanoparticles has been further modified by citric acid using ligand exchange process, which makes CFO nanoparticles more stable colloidal solution in water. Citric acid coated CFO nanoparticles exhibits high dispersibility in water, high zeta potential, very low coercivity and moderate saturation magnetization. Biocompatibility of these CFO nanoparticles is demonstrated through cytotoxicity test in L929 cell line.

The politics of DTT policy-making in Bulgaria: the significance of path dependencies and institutional characteristics
Creators: name: Rashid, Imir
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: This thesis examines the politics of the policy process concerning the introduction of digital terrestrial television (DTT) in Bulgaria. Bulgaria is an Eastern European post-communist country and a member of the European Union (EU) since 2007. The policy of digitalisation of terrestrial broadcasting is studied from a domestic perspective that focuses on the relevance of the national institutional structures and their response to internal and external (notably EU) influences. The thesis relies primarily on the ‘new institutionalist’ theoretical approach to examine how historical path dependencies and state capacities have enabled or disabled certain types of behaviour by public and private actors which have in turn shaped the policy process. In this respect, the role of the EU is seen as refracted through the prism of domestic arrangements, capacities and interests. The thesis demonstrates that the weak institutional capacities of the Bulgarian state, political patronage, clientelism and cronyism, failed to ensure a clear, fair and transparent DTT switchover policy. Sectoral broadcasting characteristics including the prominence of pay-for platforms and small market size contributed to this result, yet the thesis argues that the extent of their impact has been determined by structural characteristics within which the desion-making process has taken place. The thesis shows that far from genuine public interest objectives - such as increased media plurality, a stronger role for PSB, more competition within and between platforms, and efficient use of spectrum - the DTT transition in the country has served to reinforce path-dependencies and historical continuities. This last point has been observed in relation to digital television policies in Western countries, such as Britain and the USA (Galperin, 2004a) and Sweden and Spain (Suarez Cantel, 2011: 318). More research is needed to confirm or not this conclusion in relation to other (post-communist) countries and other sectors.
The artist biopic: a historical analysis of narrative cinema, 1934-2010
Creators: name: Bovey, David
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: The thesis provides an historical overview of the artist biopic that has emerged as a distinct sub-genre of the biopic as a whole, totalling some ninety films from Europe and America alone since the first talking artist biopic in 1934. Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies. These examples can then be used as models for exploring similar sets of data from other countries and time periods. The specific topics chosen for discussion include the representation of a single painter, for example, Vincent Van Gogh, to see how the treatment of an artist varies across several countries and over seventy years. British artist biopics are analysed as a case study in relation to the idea of them posing as a national stereotype. Topics within sex and gender studies are highlighted in analysis of the representation of the female artist and the queer artist as well as artists who have lived together as couples. A number of well-known gallery artists have become directors of artist biopics and their films are considered to see what particular insights a professional working artist can bring to the portrayal of artistic genius and creation. In the concluding part of the thesis it is argued that the artist biopic overall has survived the bad press which some individual productions have received and can even be said to have matured under the influence of directors producing a quality product for the art house, festival and avant-garde distribution circuits. As a genre it has proved extremely adaptable and has reflected the changing attitudes towards art and artists within the wider community. It has both encouraged renewed interest in the work of established national artists and also raised the profile of those relatively obscure such as Séraphine de Senlis and Pirosmani.
A general theory of linear cosmological perturbations: scalar-tensor and vector-tensor theories

description: We present a method for parametrizing linear cosmological perturbations of theories of gravity, around homogeneous and isotropic backgrounds. The method is sufficiently general and systematic that it can be applied to theories with any degrees of freedom (DoFs) and arbitrary gauge symmetries. In this paper, we focus on scalar-tensor and vector-tensor theories, invariant under linear coordinate transformations. In the case of scalar-tensor theories, we use our framework to recover the simple parametrizations of linearized Horndeski and "Beyond Horndeski" theories, and also find higher-derivative corrections. In the case of vector-tensor theories, we first construct the most general quadratic action for perturbations that leads to second-order equations of motion, which propagates two scalar DoFs. Then we specialize to the case in which the vector field is time-like (à la Einstein-Aether gravity), where the theory only propagates one scalar DoF. As a result, we identify the complete forms of the quadratic actions for perturbations, and the number of free parameters that need to be defined, to cosmologically characterize these two broad classes of theories.

Landscapes of the invisible: sounds, cosmologies and poetics of space
Creators: name: Piva, Anna
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: In this PhD by Publication I revisit and contextualize art works and essays I have collaboratively created under the name Flow Motion between 2004-13, in order to generate new insights on the contributions they have made to diverse and emerging fields of contemporary arts practice/research, including digital, virtual, sonic and interdisciplinary art. The works discussed comprise the digital multimedia installation and sound art performance Astro Black Morphologies/Astro Dub Morphologies (2004-5), the sound installation and performance Invisible (2006-7), the web art archive and performance presentation project promised lands (2008-10), and two related texts, Astro Black Morphologies: Music and Science Lovers (2004) and Music and Migration (2013). I show how these works map new thematic constellations around questions of space and diaspora, music and cosmology, invisibility and spectrality, the body and perception. I also show how the works generate new connections between and across contemporary avant-garde, experimental and popular music, and visual art and cinema traditions. I describe the methodological design, approaches and processes through which the works were produced, with an emphasis on transversality, deconstruction and contemporary black music forms as key tools in my collaborative artistic and textual practice. I discuss how, through the development of methods of data translation and transformation, and distinctive visual approaches for the re-elaboration of archival material, the works produced multiple readings of scientific narratives, digital X-ray data derived from astronomical research on black holes and dark energy, and musical, photographic and textual material related to historical and contemporary accounts of migration. I also elaborate on the relation between difference and repetition, the concepts of multiplicity and translation, and the processes of collective creation which characterize my/Flow Motion’s work. The art works and essays I engage with in this commentary produce an idea of contemporary art as the result of a fluid, open and mutating assemblage of diverse and hybrid methods and mediums, and as an embodiment of a cross-cultural, transversal and transdisciplinary knowledge shaped by research, process, creative dialogues, collaborative practice and collective signature.

description: A physically-motivated function was developed to accurately determine the total absorption peak in an electromagnetic calorimeter and to overcome biases present in many commonly used methods. The function is the convolution of a detector resolution function with the sum of a delta function, which represents the complete absorption of energy, and a tail function, which describes the partial absorption of energy and depends on the detector materials and structures. Its performance was tested with the simulation of three typical cases. The accuracy of the extracted peak value, resolution, and peak area was improved by an order of magnitude on average, relative to the Crystal Ball function.
