description: Astrometric monitoring of the Sirius binary system over the past century has yielded several predictions for an unseen third system component, the most recent one suggesting a \leq50 MJup object in a ~6.3-year orbit around Sirius A. Here we present two epochs of high-contrast imaging observations performed with Subaru IRCS and AO188 in the 4.05 \mum narrow-band Br alpha filter. These data surpass previous observations by an order of magnitude in detectable companion mass, allowing us to probe the relevant separation range down to the planetary mass regime (6-12 M_Jup at 1", 2-4 M_Jup at 2", and 1.6 M_Jup beyond 4"). We complement these data with one epoch of M-band observations from MMT/AO Clio, which reach comparable performance. No dataset reveals any companion candidates above the 5-sigma level, allowing us to refute the existence of Sirius C as suggested by the previous astrometric analysis. Furthermore, our Br alpha photometry of Sirius B confirms the lack of an infrared excess beyond the white dwarf's blackbody spectrum.

description: We describe the theory and first experimental work on our concept for searching on earth for the presence of dark content of the vacuum (DCV) using atom interferometry. Specifically, we have in mind any DCV that has not yet been detected on a laboratory scale, but might manifest itself as dark energy on the cosmological scale. The experimental method uses two atom interferometers to cancel the effect of earth's gravity and diverse noise sources. It depends upon two assumptions: first, that the DCV possesses some space inhomogeneity in density, and second that it exerts a sufficiently strong non-gravitational force on matter. The motion of the apparatus through the DCV should then lead to an irregular variation in the detected matter-wave phase shift. We discuss the nature of this signal and note the problem of distinguishing it from instrumental noise. We also discuss the relation of our experiment to what might be learned by studying the noise in gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO.The paper concludes with a projection that a future search of this nature might be carried out using an atom interferometer in an orbiting satellite. The apparatus is now being constructed.

description: We describe Spitzer IRS spectroscopic observations of the 10 Myr-old star, EF Cha. Compositional modeling of the spectra from 5 μm to 35 μm confirms that it is surrounded by a luminous debris disk with LD/L\star ~ 10-3, containing dust with temperatures between 225 K and 430 K characteristic of the terrestrial zone. The EF Cha spectrum shows evidence for many solid-state features, unlike most cold, low-luminosity debris disks but like some other 10-20 Myr-old luminous, warm debris disks (e.g. HD 113766A). The EF Cha debris disk is unusually rich in a species or combination of species whose emissivities resemble that of finely powdered, laboratory-measured phyllosilicate species (talc, saponite, and smectite), which are likely produced by aqueous alteration of primordial anhydrous rocky materials. The dust and, by inference, the parent bodies of the debris also contain abundant amorphous silicates and metal sulfides, and possibly water ice. The dust's total olivine to pyroxene ratio of ~ 2 also provides evidence of aqueous alteration. The large mass volume of grains with sizes comparable to or below the radiation blow-out limit implies that planetesimals may be colliding at a rate high enough to yield the emitting dust but not so high as to devolatize the planetesimals via impact processing. Because phyllosilicates are produced by the interactions between anhydrous rock and warm, reactive water, EF Cha's disk is a likely signpost for water delivery to the terrestrial zone of a young planetary system.

Space Charge Effects in Cyclotron Gas Stopper

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The cyclotron gas stopper is a newly proposed device to stop energetic rare isotope ions from projectile fragmentation reactions in a helium-filled chamber. The radioactive ions are slowed down by collisions with a buffer gas inside a cyclotron-type magnet and are extracted via interactions with a Radio Frequency (RF) field applied to a sequence of concentric electrodes (RF carpet). The present study focuses on a detailed understanding of space charge effects in the ion extraction region. The space charge is generated by the ionized helium gas created by the stopping of the ions and eventually limits the beam rate. Particle-in-cell simulations of a two-component (electron-helium) plasma interacting via Coulomb forces were performed in the space charge field created by the stopping beam.

No parents left behind : a feminist and intersectional perspective on Canadian and Argentine parental leave laws
Creators: name: Cornejo, Sofia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Gender inequality in the distribution of unpaid care work and participation in the labour market is a critical issue around the world. Many countries have introduced parental leave policies as a mechanism to mitigate this gender disparity, having a direct impact on two main aspects of a person’s life: family and work. Nevertheless, most of these policies continue to be based on a nuclear family and the standard worker models, which are outdated. Families and work have recently experienced profound transformations, becoming more complex and diverse. Several families and types of employment have emerged, disputing the prevalence of the nuclear family and standard worker models. This leads to questioning whether parental leave policies have addressed these transformations and ensured equal protection for all parents across different families and employment relationships, closing the gender gaps or, conversely, these policies have reinforced not only gender but also social inequalities. Through a comprehensive comparative study of the Argentine and Canadian laws, this thesis deconstructs the assumptions about an ideal family and worker that underpin the parental leave regulations and the outcomes for parents in various families and employment relationships. Despite the Canadian legislation appearing to be more progressive and gender-inclusive than the Argentine, this thesis argues that both countries' parental leave laws fall short in ensuring equal access to and scope of leave benefits for parents in different families and employment arrangements. Through feminist and intersectional lenses, several indicators of the preference for an ideal nuclear family and standard worker that persist in the parental leave regulations of Argentina and Canada are identified. Furthermore, the negative effects experienced by certain non-traditional families and non-standard workers when trying to access parental leave benefits in the compared jurisdictions are discussed. This thesis concludes that in Argentina and Canada, non-traditional families and non-standard workers encounter greater barriers to access to and receive less parental leave benefits than parents in nuclear families and standard employment, which reinforces gender and social inequalities. The understanding of the unequal protection granted to different families and workers in the context of parental leave policies may benefit future legal reforms.

Field enhanced electron mobility by nonlinear phonon scattering of Dirac electrons in semiconducting graphene nanoribbons

description: The calculated electron mobility for a graphene nanoribbon as a function of applied electric field has been found to have a large threshold field for entering a nonlinear transport regime. This field depends on the lattice temperature, electron density, impurity scattering strength, nanoribbon width and correlation length for the line-edge roughness. An enhanced electron mobility beyond this threshold has been observed, which is related to the initially-heated electrons in high energy states with a larger group velocity. However, this mobility enhancement quickly reaches a maximum due to the Fermi velocity in graphene and the dramatically increased phonon scattering. Super-linear and sub-linear temperature dependence of mobility seen in the linear and nonlinear transport regimes. By analyzing the calculated non-equilibrium electron distribution function, this difference is attributed separately to the results of sweeping electrons from the right Fermi edge to the left one through the elastic scattering and moving electrons from low-energy states to high-energy ones through field-induced electron heating. The threshold field is pushed up by a decreased correlation length in the high field regime, and is further accompanied by a reduced magnitude in the mobility enhancement. This implies an anomalous high-field increase of the line-edge roughness scattering with decreasing correlation length due to the occupation of high-energy states by field-induced electron heating.

Pregnancy and early parenting trajectories among young people experiencing street-entrenchment : a qualitative study
Creators: name: Charlesworth, Reith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Background: Qualitative research demonstrates that, among youth who use substances in the context of entrenched poverty and homelessness, pregnancy is often viewed as an event that could change the trajectories of their lives. However, young people’s desires and decision-making regarding how to make changes do not always align with the perspectives of various professionals and systems regarding how best to intervene. Methods: This study draws on 14 months of longitudinal qualitative interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with 16 youth (under 29 years of age) to explore how pregnancy and early parenting shaped their trajectories. Eight of the 16 participants self-identified as Indigenous. Findings: The young people who participated in this study described pregnancy as a life event that could stabilize tumultuous romantic relationships and deepen a sense of romantic love in the midst of the everyday emergencies of substance use, homelessness, and poverty. As “moral assemblages,” romantic relationships shaped decision-making surrounding pregnancy and parenting on the streets, including the decision of whether or not to enter treatment. Consistent with previous research, pregnancy was envisioned by youth as a turning point that might allow them to realize different kinds of futures. However, intervention by child protection, healthcare, and criminal justice systems were often at odds with what youth envisioned for themselves, their families, and the future. In particular, interventions that separated young couples were often perceived by youth as destabilizing the very relationships that they felt would allow them to successfully navigate a pregnancy and create a family. Conclusions: This study highlights how a disjuncture between youth’s decision-making surrounding pregnancy and parenting and the systems that are intended to help them can further entrench young parents in cycles of loss, defeat, and harm that can be powerfully racialized. Two young people were not in romantic relationships during their pregnancies and were better able to navigate child protection and healthcare system demands and draw on other kinds of social support to ultimately maintain custody of their children. However, these fragile success stories further underscore the need for structural interventions that provide access to housing and income among vulnerable young parents.

description: Thermal polarization of multicomponent silicate glass was performed in air and in an argon atmosphere at various voltages. The influence of the conditions of polarization on the shape of the surface topography of polarized samples near the edge of the anode electrode was investigated. The dynamic temperature dependences of the polarization currents in polarized samples in the linear heating were measured. The mechanisms for the formation of surface relief under different polarization conditions are proposed.
Mean-field solar dynamo models with strong meridional flow at the bottom of the convection zone

description: The paper presents a study of kinematic axisymmetric mean-field dynamo models for a case of the meridional circulation with a deep-seated stagnation point and a strong return flow at the bottom of the convection zone. This kind of circulation follows from mean-field models of the angular momentum balance in the solar convection zone. We show that it is possible for this types of meridional circulation to construct kinematic dynamo models that resemble in some aspects the sunspot magnetic activity cycle. The dynamo model includes turbulent sources of the large-scale poloidal magnetic field production, due to kinetic helicity and a combined effect due to Coriolis force and the large-scale current. In these models the toroidal magnetic field, which is responsible for the sunspot production, is concentrated at the bottom of the convection zone, and is transported to low-latitude regions by the meridional flow. The meridional component of the poloidal field is also concentrated at the bottom of the convection zone while the radial component is concentrated in near polar regions. There are some issues which, perhaps, are resulted from the given meridional circulation pattern and the distribution of the magnetic diffusivity inside convection zone. In particular, in the near-equatorial regions the phase relations between the toroidal and poloidal components disagree with observations. Also, we show that the period of the magnetic cycle may not always monotonically decrease with the increase of the meridional flow speed. Thus, for the further progress it is important to determine the structure of the meridional circulation, which is one of the critical properties, from helioseismology observations.
Spatially resolved spectroscopy and chemical history of star-forming galaxies in the Hercules cluster: the effects of the environment

description: Spatially resolved spectroscopy has been obtained for a sample of 27 star-forming (SF) galaxies selected from our deep Halpha survey of the Hercules cluster. We have applied spectral synthesis models to all emission-line spectra of this sample using the population synthesis code STARLIGHT. We have obtained fundamental parameters of the stellar components, as the mean metallicity and age, and we have corrected the emission-line spectra for underlying stellar absorption. O/H and N/O gas chemical abundances were obtained using the latest empirical calibrations. The effects of cluster environment on the chemical evolution of galaxies and on their mass-metallicity (MZ) and luminosity-metallicity (LZ) relations were studied combining the derived gas metallicities, the mean stellar metallicities and ages, the masses and luminosities of galaxies and their existing HI data. We have found that our Hercules SF galaxies divide into three main subgroups: a) chemically evolved spirals with truncated ionized-gas disks and nearly flat oxygen gradients, witnessing the effect of ram-pressure stripping, b) chemically evolved dwarfs/irregulars populating the highest local densities, possible products of tidal interactions in preprocessing events, or c) less metallic dwarf galaxies which appear to be "newcomers" to the cluster, experiencing pressure-triggered star-formation. Most Hercules SF galaxies follow well defined MZ and LZ sequences (for both O/H and N/O); though the dwarf/irregular galaxies located at the densest regions appear to be outliers to these global relations, suggesting a physical reason for the dispersion in these fundamental relations. The Hercules cluster appears to be currently assembling via the merger of smaller substructures, providing an ideal laboratory where the local environment has been found to be a key parameter to understand the chemical history of galaxies.

 Abstract Ravulizumab (ULTOMIRIS®) is the first long-acting complement C5 inhibitor (administered intravenously every 8 weeks) to be approved in several countries globally, for adults with generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive (AChR Ab+). In the phase III CHAMPION MG trial, intravenous ravulizumab was associated with significant improvements in the MG-Activities of Daily Living scale at week 26 of treatment compared with placebo in adults with AChR Ab+ gMG. Improvements in the Quantitative MG scale total score were also significantly higher in ravulizumab than placebo recipients. These improvements were seen as early as week 1 of treatment initiation and were sustained to week 26. Ravulizumab was generally well tolerated; the most common treatment-emergent adverse events were headache, diarrhoea and nausea. Efficacy and tolerability data for up to 1 year from the ongoing open-label extension phase are consistent with those from the randomized, placebo-controlled phase; further results are awaited with interest. Thus, ravulizumab is an efficacious, generally well tolerated and convenient treatment option in adults with AChR Ab+ gMG, expanding the options available for gMG management.

Of various advice types, we consider deterministically-chosen advice (not necessarily algorithmically determined) and randomly-chosen advice (according to certain probability distributions). In particular, we show that certain weak machines can be significantly enhanced in computational power when randomized advice is provided in place of deterministic advice.

description: We have designed and built the first band-limited coronagraphic mask used for ground-based high-contrast imaging observations. The mask resides in the focal plane of the near-infrared camera PHARO at the Palomar Hale telescope and receives a well-corrected beam from an extreme adaptive optics system. Its performance on-sky with single stars is comparable to current state-of-the-art instruments: contrast levels of $\sim10^{-5}$ or better at 0.8" in $K_s$ after post-processing, depending on how well non-common-path errors are calibrated. However, given the mask's linear geometry, we are able to conduct additional unique science observations. Since the mask does not suffer from pointing errors down its long axis, it can suppress the light from two different stars simultaneously, such as the individual components of a spatially resolved binary star system, and search for faint tertiary companions. In this paper, we present the design of the mask, the science motivation for targeting binary stars, and our preliminary results, including the detection of a candidate M-dwarf tertiary companion orbiting the visual binary star HIP 48337, which we are continuing to monitor with astrometry to determine its association.

description: Magnetised turbulence is ubiquitous in astrophysical systems, where it notoriously spans a broad range of spatial scales. Phenomenological theories of MHD turbulence describe the self-similar dynamics of turbulent fluctuations in the inertial range of scales. Numerical simulations serve to guide and test these theories. However, the computational power that is currently available restricts the simulations to Reynolds numbers that are significantly smaller than those in astrophysical settings. In order to increase computational efficiency and, therefore, probe a larger range of scales, one often takes into account the fundamental anisotropy of field-guided MHD turbulence, with gradients being much slower in the field-parallel direction. The simulations are then optimised by employing the reduced MHD equations and relaxing the field-parallel numerical resolution. In this work we explore a different possibility. We propose that there exist certain quantities that are remarkably stable with respect to the Reynolds number. As an illustration, we study the alignment angle between the magnetic and velocity fluctuations in MHD turbulence, measured as the ratio of two specially constructed structure functions. We find that the scaling of this ratio can be extended surprisingly well into the regime of relatively low Reynolds number. However, the extended scaling becomes easily spoiled when the dissipation range in the simulations is under-resolved. Thus, taking the numerical optimisation methods too far can lead to spurious numerical effects and erroneous representation of the physics of MHD turbulence, which in turn can affect our ability to correctly identify the physical mechanisms that are operating astrophysical systems.
EHT goals and ambitions in the WSU era

description: Since 2019, when the first image of the supermassive black hole in M87 was released, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) augmented by ALMA has produced a series of groundbreaking results aimed at understanding the physics, dynamics and properties of these massive compact objects. The two main targets of the EHT collaboration are M87 and SgrA*, which, though comparable in angular sizes, display very different dynamics and properties like linear and circular polarisation. More recently, and thanks to the continued expansion of the EHT array (8 telescopes were available in 2017 in bands 3 and 6, while next year, in Cycle 11, there will be 11 telescopes available in bands 3, 6 and 7 and spectral line

mode) more supermassive black holes have been observed and studied, as well as pulsar observations which were made possible by the phased array. Despite these early results, many fundamental questions still remain, e.g., on the exact nature of accretion and jet launching mechanisms. For this reason, new observations will greatly benefit from an improved the uv-coverage and more sensitive antennas, but also by exploring the time domain more extensively. To this end, making  the first ever “movie” of the supermassive black hole in SgrA* on daily/weekly or monthly timescales will be a cruciall goal of the EHT in the coming years. Lastly, adding EHT space-based antennas will allow an even better uv-coverage and will likely play a crucial role in coming decades too.

The WSU will positively impact EHT observations in several ways, and most critically, by providing a boost in sensitivity of x1.5 thanks to its digital and receiver improvements, which will improve the phasing efficiency and thus will allow to observe fainter calibrators. Also, phasing on multiple lines and allowing to use one ALMA antenna as stand-alone will help obtain faster and dynamic observations. ALMA sub-arraying could be an interesting application for the EHT as it would allow for simultaneous dual-band observations and thus phase transfer at the other sites - however fast switching between bands may work well enough to this purpose. Overall, because VLBI is already part of the WSU design and integration plan, this will greatly help the EHT get back to observing with ALMA and reach its ambitious goals in the WSU era.

description: In this paper, we report our results on charged hadron multiplicities of heavy quark initiated jets produced in high energy collisions. After implementing the so-called dead cone effect in QCD evolution equations, we find that the average multiplicity decreases significantly as compared to the massless case. Finally, we discuss on the transverse momentum distribution of light quark initiated jets and emphasize on the comparison between our predictions and CDF data.

description: This paper illustrates how the tools of equilibrium statistical mechanics can help to explain a far-from-equilibrium problem: the jamming transition in frictionless granular materials. Edwards ideas consist of proposing a statistical ensemble of volume and stress fluctuations through the thermodynamic notion of entropy, compactivity, X, and angoricity, A (two temperature-like variables). We find that Edwards thermodynamics is able to describe the jamming transition (J-point). Using the ensemble formalism we elucidate the following: (i)We test the combined volume-stress ensemble by comparing the statistical properties of jammed configurations obtained by dynamics with those averaged over the ensemble of minima in the potential energy landscape as a test of ergodicity. Agreement between both methods supports the idea of "thermalization" at a given angoricity and compactivity. (ii) A microcanonical ensemble analysis supports the idea of maximum entropy principle for grains. (iii) The intensive variables describe the approach to jamming through a series of scaling relations as A {\to} 0+ and X {\to} 0-. Due to the force-volume coupling, the jamming transition can be probed thermodynamically by a "jamming temperature" TJ comprised of contributions from A and X. (iv) The thermodynamic framework reveals the order of the jamming phase transition by showing the absence of critical fluctuations at jamming in observables like pressure and volume. (v) Finally, we elaborate on a comparison with relevant studies showing a breakdown of equiprobability of microstates.

description: La chiesa parrocchiale di San Pietro si trova nel comune di Maroggia in Canton Ticino ed è situata sulle rive del lago Ceresio. Questa chiesa è un importante edificio di epoca barocca che venne costruito a partire dal 1640 sulle fondamenta di tre chiese preesistenti. L’edificio, a causa della sua posizione, è costantemente influenzato dalla presenza del lago che costituisce una fonte di umidità notevole e pregiudica lo stato di conservazione delle superfici esterne. Le condizioni climatiche sfavorevoli e le caratteristiche dei materiali messi in opera durante i restauri hanno causato delle estese alterazioni cromatiche dovute alla presenza di organismi biodeteriogeni.

description: We report the antimony (Sb) doping effect in a prototype system of iron-based supercon-ductors LaFeAsO1-yFy (y=0, 0.1, 0.15). X-ray powder diffraction indicates that the lattice pa-rameters increase with Sb content within the doping limit. Rietveld structural refinements show that, with the partial substitution of Sb for As, while the thickness of the Fe2As2 layers increases significantly, that of the La2O2 layers shrinks simultaneously. So a negative chemical pressure is indeed "applied" to the superconducting-active Fe2As2 layers, in con-trast to the effect of positive chemical pressure by the phosphorus doping. Electrical resis-tance and magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that, while the Sb doping hardly influences the SDW anomaly in LaFeAsO, it recovers SDW order for the optimally-doped sample of y=0.1. In the meantime, the superconducting transition temperature can be raised up to 30 K in LaFeAs1-xSbxO1-yFy with x=0.1 and y=0.15. The Sb doping effects are discussed in term of both J1-J2 model and Fermi Surface (FS) nesting scenario.

Nucleo per artisti al Murnerei (Gole della Breggia): the artists platform

description: Lo sviluppo di questo progetto è partito dall’analisi degli elementi architettonici e caratteristici del Mendrisiotto; per poi andare più nello specifico a guardare il luogo in cui ci troviamo: le Gole della Breggia. Il progetto si suddivide in tre elementi: Il primo elemento, situato all’ingresso del lotto. Si tratta del blocco comune adibito a zona di incontro, per artisti e non, ed equipaggiato come bar e ristorante; Il secondo elemento che troviamo sul percorso è un’ampia piattaforma sulla quale troviamo i cinque atelier/casa degli artisti; Il terzo elemento, che viene posizionato come chiusura del lotto stesso, è l’edificio per l’esposizione, che verrà utilizzato da tutti e sette gli artisti, aperto a tutti coloro che sono interessati all’arte. La disposizione, di questi, è data dal masterplan originale, ciò che viene modificato è la parte centrale (ciò che chiamo secondo elemento). Da masterplan gli atelier/abitazioni non erano raggruppati tra loro ed erano allo stesso livello degli altri edifici. Nel mio caso, ho voluto creare un nuovo livello che fosse rialzato rispetto agli edifici di ente pubblico, dando una netta divisione e differenziazione degli spazi. Entrando nel lotto e percorrendo il nuovo nucleo degli artisti il primo e l’ultimo edificio hanno gli ingressi alla stessa quota del percorso, invece per raggiungere gli atelier, zona più privata per l’artista e i suoi collaboratori, ci si imbatte in una scalinata per ogni atelier, che porta prima in una zona esterna dell’atelier e dove si trova l’ingresso dell’atelier stesso. Il concetto prende forma dall'idea di un basamento di cemento armato per l‘appoggio di costruzioni in legno. Il terreno in pendenza circostante viene “allontanato” dalle fondamenta in calcestruzzo, che innalzano la piattaforma e gli edifici su di essa. Grazie a questo elemento si ha la possibilità di non andare a modificare l’argine preesistente e il terreno, il quale verrà sistemato con la volontà di mantenere le pendenze il più possibilmente invariate. Durante la progettazione, la materialità è stato un tema molto importante.

description: We study the circumstellar environment of the carbon-rich star R Scl using the near- and mid-infrared high spatial resolution observations from the ESO-VLTI instruments VINCI and MIDI. These observations aim at increasing our knowledge of the dynamic processes in play within the very close circumstellar environment where the mass loss of AGB stars is initiated. Data are interpreted using a self-consistent dynamic model. Interferometric observations do not show any significant variability effect at the 16 m baseline between phases 0.17 and 0.23 in the K band, and for both the 15 m baseline between phases 0.66 and 0.97 and the 31 m baseline between phases 0.90 and 0.97 in the N band. We find fairly good agreement between the dynamic model and the spectrophotometric data from 0.4 to 25 $μ$m. The model agrees well with the time-dependent flux data at 8.5 $μ$m, whereas it is too faint at 11.3 and 12.5 $μ$m. The VINCI visibilities are reproduced well, meaning that the extension of the model is suitable in the K-band. In the mid-infrared, the model has the proper extension to reveal molecular structures of C2H2 and HCN located above the stellar photosphere. However, the windless model used is not able to reproduce the more extended and dense dusty environment. Among the different explanations for the discrepancy between the model and the measurements, the strong nonequilibrium process of dust formation is one of the most probable. The complete dynamic coupling of gas and dust and the approximation of grain opacities with the small-particle limit in the dynamic calculation could also contribute to the difference between the model and the data.
Engaging the high-rise in German media culture : aspects of vertical living from 1945 to 2020
Creators: name: Leesing, Dorothee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation examines the way high-rise living was portrayed and documented in the press, in interactive gaming environments and fictional storytelling in West Germany between 1945 and 2020. I argue that the figure of the high-rise in West Germany served not only as a departure from the material destruction after WWII, but also as an ideological marker of a new start. This argument builds on existing research on architecture in a medial understanding, as storage as well as processor and transmitter of history. In the particular case of West Germany, these aspects are concerned with questions of memory and exile, but also with segregation and mobility. The chapters show how the cultural and social perception of the high-rise changed over the course of time. My second and third chapters focus on press outlets, which deployed photography as well as narrative strategies in order to highlight the idea of a fresh start after the war, marked by the new high-rise architecture. Chapter Four employs the genre of children’s literature in order to show the significance of segregation of indoor and outdoor spaces and its concluding ascriptions of function. Chapter Five examines an early interactive game console Game&Watch, and the game environments which rely heavily on the high-rise as a driver of the gameplay. I illustrate how the game environments and game setups filter the negative aspects of the new architecture and build it into the gameplay. Finally, Chapter Six concludes with a discussion of negative reporting in a current media context. I introduce the spatial idiosyncrasies of surveillance and liminality of the high-rise mass dwelling by analysing the narrative strategies employed in Karosh Taha’s novel Beschreibung einer Krabbenwanderung. In sum, these mechanisms of memory making, exile, segregation and mobility show the underlying tropes of the high-rise’s enmeshment with spatial effects and history.
