Aesthetics and Politics of the Fashion Image: A Queer Perspective
Creators: name: Filippello, Roberto
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2018

description: This essay theorizes the fashion photographic image as a privileged site for queer sensory experience. It takes the stance that the aesthetic engagement with the fashion image occurs through sensation, and more precisely, through a haptic and periperformative experience that activates desires, meanings, and fantasies. Through the circulation of feelings sparked via the sensorial experiencing of the photo, queer subjects can sense belongings and form affiliations that bind them in an egalitarian community of sense exceeding sexual and social differences. A queer theory of fashion photography does not posit that the photographic image may foster propositional knowledge in the viewers, but rather that it moves them to engage corporeally with the image and triggers their imagination to configure new affective modes of being in the world.

description: The flare produced when a star is tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole holds potential as a diagnostic of both the black hole mass and the star mass. We propose a new method to realize this potential based upon a physical model of optical/UV light production in which shocks near the apocenters of debris orbits dissipate orbital energy, which is then radiated from that region. Measurement of the optical/UV luminosity and color temperature at the peak of the flare leads directly to the two masses. The black hole mass depends mostly on the temperature observed at peak luminosity, while the mass of the disrupted star depends mostly on the peak luminosity. We introduce {\sc TDEmass}, a method to infer the black hole and stellar masses given these two input quantities. Using {\sc TDEmass}, we find, for 21 well-measured events, black hole masses between $5\times 10^5$ and $10^7 M_\odot$ and disrupted stars with initial masses between 0.6 and $13M_\odot$. An open-source {\sc python}-based tool for {\sc TDEmass} is available at https://github.com/taehoryu/TDEmass.git.

Cinematic Intertextuality and the Aesthetics of Ambiguity from Antonioni to Aldridge
Creators: name: Carter, Gerrard
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2018

description: In order to interpret the work of British photographer Miles Aldridge and gain insight into the semiotic ambiguity of his photographs, this paper relies on the capacity to decipher the photographs’ relationship to other arts such as Italian cinema and in particular, to the work of Italian film director Michelangelo Antonioni. From the perspective of this present study, the decisive role of semiotics in relation to photography is that it promotes an interactive process between artist and spectator. The methodology employed in this study to demonstrate how previous systems of language inspire a semiotic dialogue and produce multiple interpretations is a combination of Umberto Eco’s concept of open work and French narratological theories of hypertextuality. Through an examination of the Italian cinematic influence in the work of Miles Aldridge, this paper demonstrates how generating interpretations becomes an essential element of a photograph’s aesthetics.

description: A dedicated device to fully determine the four-dimensional beam matrix, called ROSE (ROtating System for Emittance measurements) was successfully commissioned. Results obtained with 83Kr13+ at 1.4 MeV/u are reported in Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 19, 072802 (2016). Coupled moments were determined with an accuracy of about 10%, which is sufficiently low to reliably determine a lattice which could decouple the beam. However, the remaining uncertainty on the corresponding eigen emittances was still considerable high. The present paper reports on improvement of the evaluation procedure which lowers the inaccuracy of measured eigen emittances significantly to the percent level. The method is based on trimming directly measured data within their intrinsic measurement resolution such that the finally resulting quantity is determined with high precision.

description: A methodology for estimating a demand system from household survey data is developed and applied to the 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey data. The empirical results are sets of estimated demand elasticities for households segmented with different income levels. In addition, we apply these demand elasticities to estimate the implied nutrient elasticities for low-income households. The estimation results are useful in evaluating some food policy and program effects related to households of a specific income level.

description: Measurements of the magnetic Grüneisen parameter ($Γ_B$) and specific heat on the Kitaev material candidate $α$-RuCl$_3$ are used to access in-plane field- and temperature-dependence of the entropy up to 12 T and down to 1 K. No signatures corresponding to phase transitions are detected beyond the boundary of the magnetically ordered region, but only a shoulder-like anomaly in $Γ_B$, involving an entropy increment as small as $10^{-5} R\log 2$. These observations put into question the presence of a thermodynamic phase transition between the purported quantum spin liquid and the field-polarized state of $α$-RuCl$_3$. We show theoretically that at low temperatures $Γ_B$ is sensitive to crossings in the lowest excitations within gapped phases, and identify the measured shoulder-like anomaly as being of such origin. Exact diagonalization calculations demonstrate that the shoulder-like anomaly can be reproduced in extended Kitaev models that gain proximity to an additional phase at finite field without entering it. We discuss manifestations of this proximity in other measurements.

The Ontology of Photography A Reassessment
Creators: name: Abolghassemi, Mohamadreza
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2018

description: This paper explores some issues concerning the ontology of photography. It would appear that photography’s ontology bears some significant specificities comparing with other art forms. First, the study of negative film and printed photograph relations shows us that photography has a multi-layered ontology, since although the latter is ontologically dependent upon the former, it stands autonomously as work of art. Second, I will consider the problem of forgery in photography. It seems that photographs are autographic and allographic, fakeable and unfakeable. Third, ontological status of negative film will be explored. Apparently, current ontological categories aren’t pertinent as far as negative-photograph’s ontology is concerned. That’s why, relying on Gérard Genette ontological notions, I propose to consider the negative film as «immanence» and the printed photograph as work’s «transcendence». In this regard, printed photograph functions as a manifestation of the negative film.

description: We study the model of Einstein-Maxwell theory minimally coupling to a massive charged self-interacting scalar field, parameterized by the quartic and hexic coupling, labelled by $λ$ and $β$, respectively. In the absence of scalar field, there is a class of counterexamples to cosmic censorship. Moveover, we investigate the properties of full nonlinear solution with nonzero scalar field, and argue that, by assuming massive charged self-interacting scalar field with sufficiently large charge above one certain bound, these counterexamples can be removed. In particular, this bound on charge for self-interacting scalar field is no longer equal to the weak gravity bound for free scalar case. In the quartic case, the bounds are below free scalar case for $λ<0$, while above free scalar case for $λ>0$. Meanwhile, in the hexic case, the bounds are above free scalar case for both $β>0$ and $β<0$.

description: The YMCA (Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again) and STEP ({The SMC in Time: Evolution of a Prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy) projects are deep g,i photometric surveys carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) and devoted to study the outskirts of the Magellanic System. A main goal of YMCA and STEP is to identify candidate stellar clusters and complete their census out to the outermost regions of the Magellanic Clouds. We adopted a specific over-density search technique coupled with a visual inspection of the color magnitude diagrams (CMDs) to select the best candidates and estimate their ages. To date, we analysed a region of 23 sq. deg. in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, detecting 85 candidate cluster candidates, 16 of which have estimated ages falling in the so called "age gap". We use these objects together with literature data to gain insight into the formation and interaction history of the Magellanic Clouds.

description: In this paper, we study the Hubbard model with intersite Coulomb interaction in the ionic limit (i.e. no kinetic energy). It is shown that this model is isomorphic to the spin-1 Ising model in presence of a crystal field and an external magnetic field. We show that for such models it is possible to find, for any dimension, a finite complete set of eigenoperators and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. Then, the hierarchy of the equations of motion closes and analytical expressions for the relevant Green's functions and correlation functions can be obtained. These expressions are formal because these functions depend on a finite set of unknown parameters, and only a set of exact relations among the correlation functions can be derived. In the one-dimensional case we show that by means of algebraic constraints it is possible to obtain extra equations which close the set and allow us to obtain a complete exact solution of the model. The behavior of the relevant physical properties for the 1D system is reported.

description: The analysis presented here suggests that low-, middle-, and high-income countries all respond differently to changes in income and food prices and, furthermore that low-income countries are more responsive than high-income countries to such changes. These conclusions are based on a two-stage, cross-country demand system fit to the 1996 International Comparison Project (ICP) data for nine broad categories and eight food sub-categories of goods across 114 countries. The broad consumption groups include: food, beverage, and tobacco; clothing and footwear; education; gross rent, fuel, and power; house furnishings and operations; medical care; recreation; transport and communications; and other items. The food sub-groups include bread and cereals, meat, fish, dairy products, oils and fats, fruit and vegetables, beverages and tobacco, and other food products. The country data exhibit group heteroskedasticity, and a maximum likelihood procedure that corrects for group heteroskedasticity is developed and used to estimate the model. Theil's information inaccuracy measures are calculated to measure the goodness of fit of the system of equations, while Strobel measures are calculated to measure the goodness of fit on an individual equation basis. Using the estimated parameters, income and price elasticities are calculated
Photographic Manipulation and Photographic Deception

Year: 2018

description: I consider how photographic image manipulation and deception influence both interpretation and evaluation of photographs. First I distinguish between image manipulation and deception by clarifying that image manipulation does not necessarily lead to deception in terms of forming false beliefs. I also argue that image manipulation is not the only way of using photographs deceptively, and I provide examples for photographic deception that do not rely on image manipulation. Then I examine what role the readability of photographic properties (including if and how they have been manipulated) plays in their interpretation. I introduce the concept of photographic illocutionary acts to account for the interpretation of photographic images, and I argue that the default interpretation of photographs is always based on our knowledge of the specific ontological and epistemic status of photographs in general, and which distinguishes them from non-photographic images. I conclude that our knowledge about the ease and frequency of analogue or digital image manipulation does not alter our default interpretation with which we approach photographs.

Transition rates measured with intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation are compared to their respective adopted values and for the example of 26Mg to the B(E2; 0+ -> 2+) values obtained with a variety of standard methods. Intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation is found to have an accuracy comparable to those of long-established experimental techniques.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been studied extensively as monolayers 1-5, vertical or lateral heterostructures 6-8. To achieve functionalization, monolayers are often patterned using soft lithography and selectively decorated with molecules 9,10. Here we demonstrate the growth of a family of 2D materials that are intrinsically patterned. We demonstrate that a monolayer of PtSe2 can be grown on a Pt substrate in the form of a triangular pattern of alternating 1T and 1H phases. Moreover, we show that, in a monolayer of CuSe grown on a Cu substrate, strain relaxation leads to periodic patterns of triangular nanopores with uniform size. Adsorption of different species at preferred pattern sites is also achieved, demonstrating that these materials can serve as templates for selective self-assembly of molecules or nanoclusters, as well as for the functionalization of the same substrate with two different species.

description: Annual models for U.S. farm prices for corn and wheat are developed based on market factors as well as government agricultural commodity programs. The pricing relationships utilize a stocks-to-use modeling framework to capture the effects of market supply and demand factors on price determination. This formulation is augmented by factors that represent the changing role of agricultural policies, particularly government price support and stockholding programs. For wheat, international market effects as well as wheat feed use and related crosscommodity pricing considerations also are included. Model properties and model performance measures are presented. Additionally, recent price-forecasting applications of the models are discussed. The relatively simple structure of the estimated price models and their small data requirements lend themselves to use in price-forecasting applications in conjunction with market analysis of supply and demand conditions. In particular, the models have been implemented into USDAís short-term market analysis and long-term baseline projections. In these applications, the models provide an analytical framework to forecast prices and a vehicle for making consistency checks among the Departmentís supply, demand, and price forecasts.

In the ground state of each topological sector, the vortices are linked exactly $B$ times, due to a recently formulated theorem, with $B$ being the baryon number of the solution. The model also possesses metastable states, where the vortices are degenerate and do not lend the interpretation of the baryon number as the linking number of the vortices.

description: We discuss a new class of driven lattice gas obtained by coupling the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process to Langmuir kinetics. In the limit where these dynamics are competing, the resulting non-conserved flow of particles on the lattice leads to stationary regimes for large but finite systems. We observe unexpected properties such as localized boundaries (domain walls) that separate coexisting regions of low and high density of particles (phase coexistence). A rich phase diagram, with high an low density phases, two and three phase coexistence regions and a boundary independent ``Meissner'' phase is found. We rationalize the average density and current profiles obtained from simulations within a mean-field approach in the continuum limit. The ensuing analytic solution is expressed in terms of Lambert $W$-functions. It allows to fully describe the phase diagram and extract unusual mean-field exponents that characterize critical properties of the domain wall. Based on the same approach, we provide an explanation of the localization phenomenon. Finally, we elucidate phenomena that go beyond mean-field such as the scaling properties of the domain wall.

description: The economic well-being of the U.S. population with incomes below 130 percent of the official poverty guideline is of special interest to policymakers and food assistance program administrators. For example, the Food Stamp Program uses gross income below this level as one of several criteria for determining eligibility for program benefits. This study employs alternative welfare measures, including the Sen index, to assess the economic status of the low-income population and to track changes in welfare status over time. In general, welfare measures of households with income no greater than 130 percent of the poverty line improved slightly between 1981 and 1995. The study also assesses which demographic characteristics that describe these low-income households have the largest impact on the welfare measures. This demographic analysis is useful for identifying household types that could merit special attention in designing strategies such as job training or food stamp education and outreach.

description: While the important role of electrostatic interactions in aqueous colloidal suspensions is widely known and reasonably well-understood, the relevance of charge in nonpolar suspensions remains mysterious. We demonstrate that particles can have surprisingly strong electrostatic interactions in low dielectric constant environments when ions are solubilized by reverse micelles. A simple thermodynamic model, relating the structure of the micelles to the equilibrium ionic strength, is in good agreement with both conductivity and interaction measurements. Since dissociated ions are solubilized by reverse micelles, the entropic incentive to charge a particle surface is qualitatively changed, and surface entropy plays a important role.

Some Photographic Images Are Transparent

Year: 2018

description: Kendall Walton argued that photographs are transparent, that we literally see things through them. This claim provoked many objections, and one line of argument has focused on the fact that when we see objects in ordinary situations we see their approximate location with respect to us, whereas in typical photographs we do not. The author argues, however, that this egocentric spatial information is not what distinguishes literal seeing from typical photograph seeing. Instead of it, the author proposes two conditions for normal, literal seeing. One is that the seeing be real-time, and the other is that the image be “empty”. Some photographic images meet these conditions.

An example of the neutron structure function extraction from the deuteron and proton data is considered. The limit $x\to 1$ of the neutron to proton structure functions ratio is studied. A link between the deep inelastic scattering off the nucleon at high $x$ and elastic scattering off nuclei in high $Q^2$ region is discussed.

description: In early 1996, the peak in the current cycle of cattle inventories coincided with a long list of negative factors--negative returns at the farm and feedlot, record-high feed grain prices, a severe drought in 1995-96, widening farm-retail price spreads, a low farmers' share of the consumers' Choice beef dollar, and reports of high profits for beefpackers. This confluence created an atmosphere in which some producers and members of Congress questioned whether the cattle industry was adversely affected by high packer concentration and market power. In this report, we examine the cattle cycle of the 1990's to determine if there are differences from previous cattle cycles and, if so, how and why they are different. We found that values for many variables at the 1996 cyclical peak in cattle inventories, while bad, were not the worst on record. Further, price levels during the cattle cycle of the 1990's were better, our models suggest, than they could have been, given earlier patterns of price adjustment. Finally, despite the growth of packer concentration, we failed to demonstrate large negative effects of packer concentration on cattle prices during the 1991-to-present cattle cycle.

description: The co-evolution between black holes and galaxies suggests that feedback of active galactic nuclei influence host galaxies through ejecting radiative and kinetic energies to surroundings. Larger scale outflow in local universe are frequently observed by spatially resolved spectroscopy, while smaller scale outflow cannot be directly resolved by current observations. At the scale of the dusty torus, radiative and kinetic energies ejected from the central active nucleus interact with the materials. However, observations of such outflow are rarely reported due to the lack detection of unambiguously gas emission. Here we report the detection of clear and rich emission lines origin from the scale of dusty tours in an partially obscured quasar. The lines share a common intermediate width with full width at half maximum about 1900 \kmps\ and are shown in two systems: a major system is unshifted and a minor system has a blue-shifts of about 2600 \kmps. The line intensity ratios, combining photo-ionization simulations, indicates an ultradense line-emitting region with the density as high as $\sim$ $10^{13}~\rm cm^{-3}$. We interpret this as the lines being excited by a shock induced by the high-density and high-temperature gases at the scale of dusty torus, rather than photo-ionized by the central accretion disk. We speculate that the outflow, launched from the accretion disk, collides onto the inner wall of the dusty torus and shock-heat the gases to cause the major emission lines. The outflowing gases may also collide onto surrounding isolated clouds, and give rise to blue-shifted minor emission lines.

Quantum Monte Carlo Simulation of Exciton-Exciton Scattering in a GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Well

description: We present a computer simulation of exciton-exciton scattering in a quantum well. Specifically, we use quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study the bound and continuum states of two excitons in a 10 nm wide GaAs/Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As quantum well. From these bound and continuum states we extract the momentum-dependent phase shifts for s-wave scattering. A surprising finding of this work is that a commonly studied effective-mass mode for excitons in a 10 nm quantum well actually supports two bound biexciton states. The second, weakly bound state may dramatically enhance exciton-exciton interactions. We also fit our results to a hard-disk model and indicate directions for future work.

New Phases of Thermal SYM and LST from Kaluza-Klein Black Holes

description: We review the recently found map that takes any static and neutral Kaluza-Klein black hole, i.e. any static and neutral black hole on Minkowski-space times a circle M^d x S^1, and maps it to a corresponding solution for a non- and near-extremal brane on a circle. This gives a precise connection between phases of Kaluza-Klein black holes and the thermodynamic behavior of the non-gravitational theories dual to near-extremal branes on a circle. In particular, for the thermodynamics of strongly-coupled supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on a circle we predict the existence of a new non-uniform phase and find new information about the localized phase. We also find evidence for the existence of a new stable phase of (2,0) Little String Theory in the canonical ensemble for temperatures above its Hagedorn temperature.

description: According to the author, the Duchampian notion of “inframince” puts photography, its status as well as its artistic use, to the test of its relationship with reality. Far from its documentary function, it is confronted with ultrathin differences, both phenomenal and conceptual, which substantially change the conception of the reality of which it is an image: “thing” (Ding), real (Lacanian), object a (Lacanian), simulacrum or other? The text introduces these problems and opens the vision of the image to multiple horizons from this point of view.

description: We investigate the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) in the presence of obstacles that dynamically bind and unbind from the lattice. The model is motivated by biological processes such as transcription in the presence of DNA-binding proteins. Similar models have been studied before using the mean-field approximation, but the exact relation between the particle current and density remains elusive. Here, we first show using extensive Monte Carlo simulations that the current-density relation in this model assumes a quasi-parabolic form similar to that of the ordinary TASEP without obstacles. We then attempt to explain this relation using exact calculations in the limit of low and high density of particles. Our results suggest that the symmetric, quasi-parabolic current-density relation arises through a non-trivial cancellation of higher-order terms, similarly as in the standard TASEP.

description: We study the problem of the behavior of a quantum massless scalar field in the space between two parallel infinite perfectly conducting plates, one of them stationary, the other moving periodically. We reformulate the physical problem into a problem about the asymptotic behavior of the iterates of a map of the circle, and then apply results from theory of dynamical systems to study the properties of the map. Many of the general mathematical properties of maps of the circle translate into properties of the field in the cavity. For example, we give a complete classification of the possible resonances in the system, and show that small enough perturbations do not destroy the resonances. We use some mathematical identities to give transparent physical interpretation of the processes of creation and amplification of the quantum field due to the motion of the boundary and to elucidate the similarities and the differences between the classical and quantum fields in domains with moving boundaries.

description: Some lineages of the orchid genus Ophrys exhibit among the highest diversification rates reported so far. As a consequence of a such intense and rapid evolution, the systematics and taxonomy of this genus remain unclear. A hybrid assembly approach based-on long- and short-read genomic data allowed us to outperform classical methods to successfully assemble whole plastid genomes for two new species of Ophrys: O. aymoninii and O. lutea. Along with three other previously Ophrys plastid genome sequences, we then reconstructed the first whole plastome-based molecular phylogeny including representatives of the three mains recognized Ophrys lineages. Our results support the placement of the O. insectifera clade as sister group of “non-basal Ophrys” rather than a basal position. Our findings corroborate recent results obtained from genomic data (RAD-seq and transcriptomes) but contrast with previous ones. These results therefore confirm that molecular phylogenetic hypotheses based on a limited number of loci (e.g. nrITS, matK, rbcL) may have provided a biased picture of phylogenetic relationships within Ophrys and possibly other plant taxa.
