description: Sticking of H and D atoms on interstellar dust grains is the first step in molecular hydrogen formation, which is a key reaction in the InterStellar Medium (ISM). After studying the sticking coefficients of H2 and D2 molecules on amorphous silicate surfaces experimentally and theoretically, we extrapolate the results to the sticking coefficient of atoms and propose a formulae that gives the sticking coefficients of H and D on both silicates and icy dust grains. In our experiments, we used the King and Wells method for measuring the sticking coefficients of H2 and D2 molecules on a silicate surface held at 10 K. It consists of measuring with a QMS (quadrupole mass spectrometer) the signals of H2 and D2 molecules reflected by the surface during the exposure of the sample to the molecular beam at a temperature ranging from 20 K to 340 K. We tested the efficiency of a physical model, developed previously for sticking on water-ice surfaces. We applied this model to our experimental results for the sticking coefficients of H2 and D2 molecules on a silicate surface and estimated the sticking coefficient of atoms by a single measurement of atomic recombination and propose an extrapolation. Sticking of H, D, HD, H2, and D2 on silicates grains behaves the same as on icy dust grains. The sticking decreases with the gas temperature, and is dependent on the mass of the impactor. The sticking coefficient for both surfaces and impactors can be modeled by an analytical formulae S(T), which describes both the experiments and the thermal distribution expected in an astrophysical context. The parameters S0 and T0 are summarized in a table. Previous estimates for the sticking coefficient of H atoms are close to the new estimation; however, we find that, when isotopic effects are taken into account, the sticking coefficient variations can be as much as a factor of 2 at T=100 K.

description: In recent decades, a growing focus has been on reducing fossil fuel consumption and minimizing CO2 emissions in the transportation sector. The aerospace industry, which accounted for more than 2% of global carbon emissions in 2021, has taken measures to address this issue. One promising solution to achieve this objective is the development of fully electric aircraft (FEA). In this regard, superconducting technology offers promising advantages, including compactness, lightweight, and higher efficiency to speed up this transition. This work considers a superconducting propulsion system for an electric aircraft. Among the components, the modeling of resistive superconducting fault current limiter (RSFCL) and superconducting DC cable are studied. These models are simulated by MATLAB programming and SIMULINK, and the results are shown. The models analyze their electrical-thermal behavior in a short short-circuit and in normal operation conditions. Finally, a SIMULINK model containing the fault limiter and cable is simulated, and the results are presented. As a result, different models are compared and suitable designs are presented for both applications.

description: We present high spatial and temporal resolution Ca II 8542 observations of a kink wave in an on-disk chromospheric active region fibril. The properties of the wave are similar to those observed in off-limb spicules. From the observed phase and period of the wave we determine a lower limit for the field strength in the chromospheric active region fibril located at the edge of a sunspot to be a few hundred Gauss. We find indications that the event was triggered by a small-scale reconnection event higher up in the atmosphere.

An exploration of the cognitive dispositions and mechanisms of challenge and threat: enhancing our understanding of performance under pressure
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Andrew
Publisher: name: Loughborough University

Subjects: Sports science and exercise not elsewhere classified

description: The relationship between challenge and threat states and performance has been well documented, but there are many aspects of this relationship that require attention. A greater understanding of the cognitive mechanisms which may best explain this relationship is needed, with the most appropriate methods of assessment and analysis requiring clarification. Such a comprehension would allow for a more intricate development of challenge-enhancing approaches, as well as an ability to appropriately assess the outcome of such methods. In essence, this explication would provide conceptual enhancement of the present TCTSA. Many, if not all, athletes stand to benefit from such works, particularly those who may be most ‘at-risk’ of approaching performance in a threat state. So, the aims of this thesis were fourfold: 1) to examine how individual variation in challenge and threat states following repeated exposure to pressure testing is associated with cognitive responses and performance, 2) to examine the role of a putative moderator of challenge and threat states (dispositional reinvestment), 3) to evaluate the cognitive mechanisms between these states and performance under pressure, and 4) to assess the feasibility of influencing challenge states to enhance cognitive responses of athletes under pressure. Overall, a greater comprehension of the TCTSA has been developed throughout this programme of research which should inform the work of researchers and practitioners. The sensitivity of measures overtime has been elucidated, a cognitive disposition has been identified, and a performance pathway of challenge and threat states has been evidenced. Ultimately, the feasibility of facilitating improved psychophysiological and cognitive responses over time for athletes has been substantiated. Mainly, this thesis offers an original contribution and an alternative focus to the current array of literature concerning the TCTSA. This was achieved by focusing on the decision-making pathway between challenge and threat states and performance, elaborating upon the ability to measure challenge and threat states over time, and the feasibility of manipulating these states to enhance the decision making of athletes. Together, work from this thesis should enable practitioners to implement and monitor bespoke challenge interventions/environments to enhance the decision-making ability of their athletes under pressure. Future researchers may consider assessing the cognitive effects of challenge-specific interventions longitudinally, perhaps spanning an entire pre-season, to better comprehend whether consistent challenge responses are possible. This would have both performance and well-being benefits for athletes.

description: We have performed inelastic scanning tunneling spectroscopy (ISTS) on individual Fe atoms adsorbed on a Ag(111) surface. ISTS reveals a magnetization excitation with a lifetime of about 400 fsec which decreases linearly upon application of a magnetic field. Astoundingly, we find that the g-factor, which characterizes the shift in energy of the excitation in a magnetic field, is g = 3.1 instead of the regular value of 2. This enhancement can be understood when considering the complete electronic structure of both the Ag(111) surface state and the Fe atom, as shown by ab initio calculations of the magnetic susceptibility.

description: Transcription factors (TFs) are regulatory proteins that bind DNA in promoter regions of the genome and either promote or repress gene expression. Here we predict analytically that enhanced homo-oligonucleotide sequence correlations, such as poly(dA:dT) and poly(dC:dG) tracts, statistically enhance non-specific TF-DNA binding affinity. This prediction is generic and qualitatively independent of microscopic parameters of the model. We show that non-specific TF binding affinity is universally controlled by the strength and symmetry of DNA sequence correlations. We perform correlation analysis of the yeast genome and show that DNA regions highly occupied by TFs exhibit stronger homo-oligonucleotide sequence correlations, and thus higher propensity for non-specific binding, as compared with poorly occupied regions. We suggest that this effect plays the role of an effective localization potential enhancing the quasi-one-dimensional diffusion of TFs in the vicinity of DNA, speeding up the stochastic search process for specific TF binding sites. The predicted effect also imposes an upper bound on the size of TF-DNA binding motifs.

description: The symmetry energy, the neutron pressure and the asymmetric compressibility of deformed neutron-rich even-even nuclei are calculated on the examples of Kr and Sm isotopes within the coherent density fluctuation model using the symmetry energy as a function of density within the Brueckner energy-density functional. The correlation between the thickness of the neutron skin and the characteristics related with the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy is investigated for isotopic chains of these nuclei in the framework of the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock plus BCS method. Results for an extended chain of Pb isotopes are also presented. A remarkable difference is found in the trend followed by the different isotopic chains: the studied correlations reveal a smoother behavior in the Pb case than in the other cases. We also notice that the neutron skin thickness obtained for $^{208}$Pb with SLy4 force is found to be in a good agreement with recent data.

description: With its high data rates and electromagnetic interference-free operation capability, visible light communication (VLC), also known as LiFi, has emerged as a potential candidate for 6G and beyond networks. In this demo, we present an experimental demonstration of a LiFi system on a software-defined platform. The physical layer of the demo system builds upon direct current biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) and supports adaptive transmission with different modulation schemes/levels including BPSK, 4-QAM, 8-PSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM. For switching between different modulation schemes, a feedback link with on/off keying modulation is used to send channel state information (CSI) to the OFDM transmitter. Based on the CSI, the OFDM transmitter adapts its next transmission by selecting a modulation scheme which maximizes the spectral efficiency while satisfying a predefined error performance target of 3.8 × 10-3

description: We define an integral, the distributional integral of functions of one real variable, that is more general than the Lebesgue and the Denjoy-Perron-Henstock-Kurzweil integrals, and which allows the integration of functions with distributional values everywhere or nearly everywhere. Our integral has the property that if $f$ is locally distributionally integrable over the real line and $ψ\in\mathcal{D}(\mathbb{R}%) $ is a test function, then $fψ$ is distributionally integrable, and the formula% [ =(\mathfrak{dist}) \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x) ψ(x) \,\mathrm{d}% x\,,] defines a distribution $\mathsf{f}\in\mathcal{D}^{\prime}(\mathbb{R}) $ that has distributional point values almost everywhere and actually $\mathsf{f}(x) =f(x) $ almost everywhere. The indefinite distributional integral $F(x) =(\mathfrak{dist}) \int_{a}^{x}f(t) \,\mathrm{d}t$ corresponds to a distribution with point values everywhere and whose distributional derivative has point values almost everywhere equal to $f(x).$ The distributional integral is more general than the standard integrals, but it still has many of the useful properties of those standard ones, including integration by parts formulas, substitution formulas, even for infinite intervals --in the Cesàro sense--, mean value theorems, and convergence theorems. The distributional integral satisfies a version of Hake's theorem. Unlike general distributions, locally distributionally integrable functions can be restricted to closed sets and can be multiplied by power functions with real positive exponents.

Publisher: name: Wiley-VCH

description: In recent years, Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs) have been adapted and developed to simulate the behavior of solids. They have already been applied to fractures as well. However, until now, our previous work has been restricted to stationary cracks. In this work, we regard the reduced 2D case of anti‐plane shear deformation with mode III crack opening. The wave equation is the governing equation for this problem, which is solved via an LBM. The main contribution of this work is the introduction of an algorithm to handle crack growth in an LBM for solids. The underlying scheme is based on geometric assumptions, which is well suited for the regular lattice used by the LBM. A fracture criterion based on the stress intensity factor is implemented and illustrated by a numerical example.

description: We study a Monte Carlo algorithm for simulation of probability distributions based on stochastic step functions, and compare to the traditional Metropolis/Hastings method. Unlike the latter, the step function algorithm can produce an uncorrelated Markov chain. We apply this method to the simulation of Levy processes, for which simulation of uncorrelated jumps are essential. We perform numerical tests consisting of simulation from probability distributions, as well as simulation of Levy process paths. The Levy processes include a jump-diffusion with a Gaussian Levy measure, as well as jump-diffusion approximations of the infinite activity NIG and CGMY processes. To increase efficiency of the step function method, and to decrease correlations in the Metropolis/Hastings method, we introduce adaptive hybrid algorithms which employ uncorrelated draws from an adaptive discrete distribution defined on a space of subdivisions of the Levy measure space. The nonzero correlations in Metropolis/Hastings simulations result in heavy tails for the Levy process distribution at any fixed time. This problem is eliminated in the step function approach. In each case of the Gaussian, NIG and CGMY processes, we compare the distribution at t=1 with exact results and note the superiority of the step function approach.

description: We find a normal form which describes the high energy dynamics of a class of piecewise smooth Fermi-Ulam ping pong models; depending on the value of a single real parameter, the dynamics can be either hyperbolic or elliptic. In the first case we prove that the set of orbits undergoing Fermi acceleration has zero measure but full Hausdorff dimension. We also show that for almost every orbit the energy eventually falls below a fixed threshold. In the second case we prove that, generically, we have stable periodic orbits for arbitrarily high energies, and that the set of Fermi accelerating orbits may have infinite measure.

description: We use the renormalization group method to study the normal state of quasi-one-dimensional superconductors nearby a spin-density-wave instability. On the basis of one-loop scattering amplitudes for the quasi-one-dimensional electron gas, the integration of the renormalization group equations for the two-loop single particle Matsubara self-energy leads to a nonFermi-liquid temperature downturn of the momentum-resolved quasi-particle weight over most part of the Fermi surface. The amplitude of the downturn correlates with the entire instability line for superconductivity, defining an extended quantum critical region of the phase diagram as a function of nesting deviations of the Fermi surface. One also extracts the downward renormalization of interchain hopping amplitudes at arbitrary low temperature in the normal phase. By means of analytical continuation of the Matsubara self-energy, one-particle spectral functions are obtained with respect to both energy and temperature and their anomalous features analyzed in connection with the sequence of instability lines of the phase diagram. The quasi-particle scattering rate is found to develop an unusual temperature dependence, which is best described by the superimposition of a linear and quadratic $T$ dependences. The nonFermi-liquid linear-$T$ component correlates with the temperature scale $T_c$ of the superconducting instability over an extended range of nesting deviations, whereas its anisotropy along the Fermi surface is predicted to parallel the momentum profile of a d-wave pairing gap on the Fermi surface. We examine the implications of our results for low dimensional unconventional superconductors, in particular the Bechgaard salts series of quasi-1D organic conductors, but also the pnictide and cuprate superconductors where several common features are observed.

description: We report combined soft and hard x-ray scattering studies of the electronic and lattice modulations associated with stripe order in La$_{1.875}$Ba$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$ and La$_{1.48}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$. We find that the amplitude of both the electronic modulation of the hole density and the strain modulation of the lattice is significantly larger in La$_{1.875}$Ba$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$ than in La$_{1.48}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$ and is also better correlated. The in-plane correlation lengths are isotropic in each case; for La$_{1.875}$Ba$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$, $ξ^{hole}=255\pm 5$ Å whereas for La$_{1.48}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$F, $ξ^{hole}=111\pm 7$ Å. We find that the modulations are temperature independent in La$_{1.875}$Ba$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$ in the low temperature tetragonal phase. In contrast, in La$_{1.48}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$, the amplitude grows smoothly from zero, beginning 13 K below the LTT phase transition. We speculate that the reduced average tilt angle in La$_{1.875}$Ba$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$ results in reduced charge localization and incoherent pinning, leading to the longer correlation length and enhanced periodic modulation amplitude.

description: This contribution presents convolutional neural nets (CNN) based surrogate models for prediction of von Mises stress and equivalent plastic strain fields of commonly used Dual‐Phase (DP) steels in automotive applications. The models predict field quantities in an end‐to‐end manner, driven by segmented phase images from real experimental scanning electron micrographs as inputs and FEM calculations as outputs. Hereby, we train CNN models with the U‐net neural network structure based on around 900 elastoplastic FEM simulations of various DP steel microstructure samples under tensile test. The trained CNN models are validated and tested on 250 and 50 samples, respectively. Thereby CNN models are employed sequentially for different tasks , from the real micrographs to segmented phase maps, then from segmented phase maps to stress, strain field predictions, in an end‐to‐end manner. The field predictor model results show good agreement with the test data and convincing performance on unseen microstructural dataset. This work demonstrates the large potential of a Machine Learning model to make accumulatively use of the physics‐based simulation data of large number of boundary value problems with varying microstructure. It recaptures not only the physics, implied in each simulation training data obtained from the partial different governing equations of mechanics, but also the overarching correlation between the microstructure and the stress and strain field responses.

description: Approximate molecular calculations via standard Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory are exactly reproduced by performing self-consistent calculations on isolated fragments via Partition Density Functional Theory [Phys. Rev. A 82, 024501 (2010)]. We illustrate this with the binding curves of small diatomic molecules. We find that partition energies are in all cases qualitatively similar and numerically close to actual binding energies. We discuss qualitative features of the associated partition potentials.

description: The deposition of tellurium onto the low index faces of copper single crystals induces a range of structures such as the (2√3×2√3)R30° surface substitutional alloy on the Cu(111) surface. These structures have been studied using a combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), X-ray photoemission (XPS) and ultraviolet photoemission (UPS). The deposition of tellurium on to the Cu(111) surface produced several structures including (2√3×2√3)R30° phase for a coverage of 0.17ML, For a coverage of 0.33ML a (√3×√3)R30° surface alloy was found. For coverages greater than 0.66ML a bulk alloy was formed which is consistent with the Cu3Te2 phase. The deposition of tellurium onto the Cu(110) surface produced a c(2×2) structure for a coverage of 0.5ML. Further deposition causes uniaxial compression of the over-layer as indicated by the LEED patterns. STM of this surface revealed two hexagonal domains rotated 30° with respect to each other. The deposition of tellurium on to the Cu(100) surface produced a p(2×2) over−layer for a coverage of 0.25ML. Further deposition lead to a series of coincidence lattices showing co-existing structures including split c(2×2) spots in the LEED pattern. A heavily streaked split c(2×2) LEED pattern was observed for tellurium coverages over 1ML dosage where STM images revealed a heavily striped surface with two domains perpendicular to each other. The larger structures observed suggest 3D growth of these stripes. On all 3 surfaces the work function was found to increase upon tellurium deposition. The electronic structure of indium oxide thin films was investigated after different treatments in ultra high vacuum using XPS and UPS. The (111) surface was investigated using a combination of hard and soft X-rays showing the lower portion of the valence band to be dominated by oxygen orbitals while the higher portion of the valence band indium orbitals. The valence band was then probed and the work function measured after different annealing treatments. For all 3 samples, (111) (110) and (100) the work function was found to increase when annealing in oxygen when compared to annealing in vacuum. This is attributed to the movement of the Fermi level as the carrier concentration at the surface is altered. The lowering of observed gap states when annealing in oxygen also suggests they may originate from oxygen vacancies within the surface.
title: Infection of the Ovine herpesvirus 2 in the reservoir host, sheep, and the susceptible host, cattle
Creators: name: Mohammed Amin, Dashty
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: Ovine Herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2) is a gamma-herpesvirus that belongs to genus macavirus, is endemic in sheep worldwide. The virus infects sheep subclinically but when it is transmitted to cattle; it induces malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), a frequently fatal lymphoproliferative disease. The pathogenesis and site of OvHV-2 is unknown in both species. In this study, we tried to: first detect the virus presence and measure its DNA loads; secondly, localise the precise cellular location of the virus in the tissues of sheep and domestic cattle. For the first purpose, we optimised and validated a sensitive quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique using Taqman® probe system that can detect and measure the virus’s DNA as low as one viral DNA copy in a qPCR reaction. Secondly, we applied RNA in situ hybridisation (RNA-ISH) technique to detect viral transcripts (Ov2.5 a latent gene and ORF65 a lytic gene), and in addition we used immunohistology to stain the viral Ov8 antigen (glycoprotein) by specific polyclonal antibodies. For these purposes we have used a variety of organs and tissues, namely: respiratory tract, tongue, muzzle, lymphoid and reproductive organs as well as nasal swabs and peripheral blood leukocytes from randomly selected sheep (n=28), cows without MCF (n=50) and cattle with MCF (n=12). The results in sheep have shown that 88 % of them harbour viral DNA in most of their organs at very low amounts.The viral mRNA and antigen were also detected in a wide range of organs including epithelial cells of respiratory tract, tongue and muzzle, macrophages and lymphocytes (B cells) in bronchial associated lymphoid associated lymphocytes (BALT), lymph nodes in spleen as well as vascular endothelial cells of many of these tissues. Interestingly in cattle without MCF, results were very similar as in sheep i.e.; viral DNA was found in a large population of cattle (67 %); and viral transcripts and antigen detected in a large proportion of tested organs, similar as seen in sheep. In the MCF-affected cattle, similar types of cells were found infected as in cattle without MCF, but with significantly higher viral loads (more than three logs). This study shows for the first time OvHV-2 location and cell types they infect in sheep, and in cattle that do not show any evidence of MCF. The new question is what triggers inducing of MCF in the subclinically infected healthy cattle?. That can be addressed by further investigations
0099 Monuments devoted to artists in public spaces around museums: A nineteenth-century strategy to enhance the urban space of art districts
Creators: name: Lorente, Jesús Pedro
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2014

description: Monuments to kings or military heroes have always been positioned in main squares and avenues, whilst those erected to famous cultural figures were a novelty introduced in the Enlightenment and Romanticism, placing busts or sitting monuments to writers or musicians in secluded gardens and in the surroundings of libraries, theatres, etc. During the nineteenth century, monuments to artists became also a common feature in many cities, where a most likely emplacement for them was in front of some art museum. In a way, they were a complement to the ornaments of such building, usually decorated with portraits and inscriptions glorifying great artists; but the monument to Murillo erected in 1863 by public subscription in Seville's Plaza del Museo was also an urban milestone, catching the attention of promenading public passing along a lateral street. Later, the monuments erected in the piazzas around the Prado Museum in Madrid, or in gardens outside the Louvre, became a popular prototype, emulated in many other cities up to the early 20th century. Their role as interfaces between public spaces and museum sites would thereafter be taken over by other kinds of artistic landmarks: not monuments to artists, but monumental artworks, often owned by the museum itself, thus bringing part of its collection outside, as a welcome starter to prospective cultural consumers.

description: During the 1980s Alberta experienced a significant debate about the merits of private education. After describing the historical background of, and major episodes in, this debate, the thesis assesses the three major arguments made against private schools: (1) that they undermined the quality of education expected in Alberta schools; (2) that they threatened the social cohesion of the province; and (3) that they infringed the rights of children to acquire broader intellectual and psychological horizons than those provided by their immediate families and communities. Finding none of these rationales to be so powerful and unquestionable as to support the vehemence with which they were employed, the thesis probes the deeper reasons for this vehemence. While some opponents of private education seemed driven primarily by commitment to the social visions or ideologies summed up by their arguments, the evidence confirms the prediction of public choice theorists that the same arguments would be little more than rationalizations of self-interest for the largest and most powerful opponent: Alberta's public education establishment.
Supersymmetric multi-Higgs doublet model with non-linear electroweak symmetry breaking

description: The electroweak symmetry is nonlinearly realized in an extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) through an additional pair of constrained Higgs doublet superfields. The superpotential couplings of this constrained Higgs doublet pair to the MSSM Higgs doublet pair catalyze their vacuum expectation values. The Higgs and Higgsino-gaugino mass spectrum is presented for several choices of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking and Higgs superpotential mass parameters. The additional vacuum expectation values provided by the constrained fields can produce a phenomenology quite different than that of the MSSM .

Reconciliation with the Earth and Each Other: Intergenerational Environmental Justice in Canada

description: There has been growing recognition in recent environmental discourse that environmental justice, which is normally understood to mean the disproportionate effect of climate change on minority groups, also takes the form of epistemic injustice. In the Canadian context, this means the exclusion of Indigenous philosophies, values, and perspectives from discourse about environmental ethics, as well as the spheres of policy and governance as they pertain to the environment. At the same time, there has been increasing concern with creating just outcomes for future people. Given that future generations have made no contribution to the pollution that causes climate change, but will feel its worst effects, many environmental and political philosophers have recently pointed to the need for a strong theory of intergenerational justice, especially as it pertains to the environment. In this thesis, I argue that an essential part of achieving intergenerational environmental justice in Canada is working toward the rectification of both material and epistemic harms toward Indigenous peoples which are perpetuated by the “rationalistic” conception of nature which sees nature as an instrumentally valuable resource to be exploited for human gain. I explore the historical construction of this conception of nature and its pervasiveness in recent work on environmental ethics in order to show how Indigenous perspectives have historically been suppressed through colonialism, and more recently been subjected to epistemic oppression within Western environmental ethics. I then focus specifically on intergenerational environmental justice as a field in which Indigenous philosophies have faced the greatest exclusion, and may also have the most to teach us. I conclude by providing a brief overview of recent Indigenous environmental activism as an expression of Indigenous values, and look to treaties as understood by Indigenous philosophies as a potential framework for moving together toward a just future for all.

description: Motivated by a nonparametric GARCH model we consider nonparametric additive autoregression models in the special case that the additive components are linked parametrically. We show that the parameter can be estimated with parametric rate and give the normal limit. Our procedure is based on two steps. In the first step nonparametric smoothers are used for the estimation of each additive component without taking into account the parametric link of the functions. In a second step the parameter is estimated by using the parametric restriction between the additive components. Interestingly, our method needs no undersmoothing in the first step.
0085 Graphic Intersections: Erga, Parerga and Pro-Erga
Creators: name: Petherbridge, Deanna Sheila
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2020

description: The place where design and art intersect is drawing with its elastic capability of functioning as the whole, the preparatory and the supplementary work. Drawing doesn't only occur at the level of individual practice but can be part of wider "graphic events" where concerted acts of recording, performing, inventing and disseminating link diverse visual practices across time. Two such discursive events are discussed as paradigms: the accidental finding of the Villa Aurea in the 1480s in Rome and Alois Senefelder's lithographic publication of the illustrated Book of Hours of Emperor Maximilian I in 1808. Both were stylistically influential through the popularising of 'grotesque' configurations that unify heterogeneity through linearity.

0086 Persuasion: Nicolas Pineau's Designs on the Social
Creators: name: Scott, Katie
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2014

description: This essay offers a Latourian account of the wood sculptor Nicolas Pineau's design process via a reading of Jean-François Bastide's novella La petite maison. It argues that the conventional form assumed by his drawings or 'inscriptions' – the indications of scale, the delineation of options, the signatures and marginal notes – can be read as traces of seduction that helped 'translate' potential patrons to a taste for Rococo. The essay further suggests that the activation of the taste at the point of commission was kept alive in the designs executed by the bi-modal asymmetry that is characteristic of the goût pittoresque because its exercise was considered a mark of refinement.

A multi-wavelength analysis of Spitzer selected Coma Cluster galaxies: star formation rates and masses

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We present a thorough study of the specific star formation rates for MIPS 24um selected galaxies in the Coma cluster. We build galaxy spectral energy distributions using optical (u',g',r',i',z'), Near-infrared (J,H,Ks), and Mid to Far-infrared (IRAC and MIPS) photometry. New and archival spectra confirm 210 cluster members. Subsequently, the total infrared luminosity, galaxy stellar mass, and specific star formation rate for the members are determined by measuring best fit templates. Using an array of complementary diagnostics, we search for contaminating AGN, but find few. We compare obscured star formation rates to unobscured rates derived from extinction-corrected H-alpha emission line measurements. The agreement between these two values leads us to conclude that there is no evidence for an additionally obscured component. In our spectroscopic sample, complete to 80% for r' < 19.5, we find that all starbursts are blue and are dwarfs, having masses < 10^9 solar masses. Examining the location of these starbursts within the cluster, we confirm that there is a lower fraction in the cluster core.
