Listening in Khaled Mattawa’s “Zodiac of Echoes”
Creators: name: Vallone, Mirella
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: This article analyzes the acoustic dimension in Khaled Mattawa’s Zodiac of Echoes, particularly its relation to diasporic subjectivity, faith and translation, starting from the premises of Jean-Luc Nancy in À L’Écoute (2002) / Listening (2007). Unsatisfied with the visual paradigm that dominates Western thought and the related anesthesia of the senses associated with ocularcentrism, the French philosopher evaluates the possibility of an ontology and epistemology based on listening as the sense that touches upon and stimulates all bodily senses and the mind. Like Nancy, Mattawa seems to propose resonance as a foundation, as the first or last profundity of sense itself. Zodiac of Echoes is the space/time of reverberations where the diasporic subjectivity of the poems lends an ear in the process of ongoing definition and redefinition of the self.

description: The case of heavy quark propagation in dense extended matter is studied in the multiple scattering formalism of the higher twist energy loss scheme. We consider the case of deep inelastic scattering off a large nucleus. The hard lepton scatters off a heavy quark fluctuation within one of the nucleons. This heavy quark then propagates through the dense medium, multiply scattering off the gluon field of the remaining nucleons in its path. We consider the fictitious process where a heavy quark propagates through the nucleus without radiation. Invoking Soft-Collinear Effective Theory power counting arguments, we consider the case of a "semi-hard" heavy-quark where the mass is of the order of the out-going momentum and larger than the transverse momentum imparted per unit length due to scattering. In this limit, it is found that longitudinal momentum exchanges (quantified by the transport coefficient $\hat{e}$) have a comparable effect on the off-shellness of the propagating quark, as the transverse momentum exchanges (quantified by $\hat{q}$) which constitute the leading cause of off-shellness for propagating light quarks or gluons. Consequences of this new hierarchy for the propagation of the heavy quark in dense matter are discussed.

Quantum probabilities as Dempster-Shafer probabilities in the lattice of subspaces
Creators: name: Vourdas, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The orthocomplemented modular lattice of subspaces L[H(d)], of a quantum system with d- dimensional Hilbert space H(d), is considered. A generalized additivity relation which holds for Kolmogorov probabilities, is violated by quantum probabilities in the full lattice L[H(d)] (it is only valid within the Boolean subalgebras of L[H(d)]). This suggests the use of more general (than Kolmogorov) probability theories, and here the Dempster-Shafer probability theory is adopted. An operator D(H1,H2), which quantifies deviations from Kolmogorov probability theory is introduced, and it is shown to be intimately related to the commutator of the projectors P(H1),P(H2), to the subspaces H1,H2. As an application, it is shown that the proof of CHSH inequalities for a system of two spin 1/2 particles, is valid for Kolmogorov probabilities, but it is not valid for Dempster- Shafer probabilities. The violation of these inequalities in experiments, supports the interpretation of quantum probabilities as Dempster-Shafer probabilities.

title: An Exploratory Study of Generational Differences in Health Information Seeking and Smoking Behaviors in Bulgaria
Creators: name: Stoyneva, Iva
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Smoking is a serious global public health threat that causes more than 6 million deaths annually (WHO, 2013). Smoking is also the single, most preventable cause of death (CDC, 2014). According to a recent study, Bulgaria was ranked as one of onlyl 1 countries in the world, in which half of the adult male population smokes, as well as one of 11 countries in which more than one-quarter of the adult female population smokes. Research suggests that the most significant predictors of smoking behavior in Bulgaria were age and geographic location (Balabanova, Bobak & McKee, 1998). Contributing to these finings, generational gaps in information communication literacy and technology were also found to be a contemporary phenomenon in Bulgaria (Mihailova, 2009). The primary purpose of this thesis was to inform potential public health interventions, aiming in decreasing the high number of smokers in Bulgaria. More specifically, the goals of the study were to deepen the current understanding about generational differences in the current health information seeking behavior in Bulgaria as well as the current attitudes and cultural perception in regards to smoking. The intended audience for this analysis was public health practitioners, policy makers, interested agencies, community groups, and academic researchers.

Triangulation in data collection and data analysis was performed in order to answer eleven research questions. Findings indicated that there were statistically significant generational differences between GEN X (1961-1981) and GEN Y (1981- 2001) in: concern with quality of health and medical information online, perception of how easy it is for a person to quit smoking, perception of the health consequences of first-hand smoking, and in the attempts to quit smoking in the past year. Generational differences in cultural trends in regards to smoking were also noted in the qualitative analysis. Finally, guidelines for translating these data into an applied public health intervention in Bulgaria were discussed.

Year: 2021

description: DeLillo’s The Silence contemplates the entropy which lies at the core of digital trafficking in a new, sustained critique of the accelerations of the new economy, recently intersecting with the current and recurrent states of emergency. My analysis of his late lyrical prose locates this novella within his Millennium series of six short lyrical narratives written in the sparse, paratactic form inaugurated with his absurdist plays. In these late works, the author recovers an experimental, modernist style which, in its clipped, hermetic tones, explores the secrets of domestic jargons and of small talk while calling for a badly needed social reconstruction and for a compelling reflection on post-traumatic confinement as a condition still able to preserve the humane ability to write and communicate beyond screens.

“War is Ninety Percent Myth”
Creators: name: Grossi, Angelo
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: Denis Johnson’s post-9/11 incursion into the Vietnam war genre, the sprawling novel Tree of Smoke (2007), is a prominent example of a typically post-postmodern constructive attitude towards the crisis of historical referentiality. This issue can be further illuminated by reading Tree of Smoke in the light of another novel by the same author, the overlooked post-apocalyptic phantasmagoria Fiskadoro (1985). Set in a “time between civilizations” following a nuclear holocaust and in a region of Florida called “The quarantine,” Fiskadoro portrays a fallen and linguistically hybrid America where only the elements that were marginalized by the myth of American exceptionalism seem to have survived. Fiskadoro’s only incursion into the past, buried in the memory of a mute centenarian female character, concerns the fall of Saigon, which is narrated also in Tree of Smoke and is seen as the event that marks the beginning of the decay of the US empire. Reading Tree of Smoke in connection to Fiskadoro, this article will analyze how Johnson’s literary project reflects on the ritualistic and mythical dimension of the construction of history with a sensibility that both incorporates and overcomes postmodernism.

Small scale tracked vehicle

description: Small scale tracked robot vehicles are widely used for a number of applications ranging from industrial applications, such as mining and agricultural, to hazardous and complex applications in defense, toxic cleanup, space exploration, etc. These tracked robotic vehicles are often chosen to accomplish a set of objectives in unstructured, dynamic, and uncertain environments. To design a tracked robotic vehicle to meet a particular objective, there are number of fundamental factors that are critical for mobility such as drive motor torque, thrust force, resistive forces, etc. The goal of this thesis was to investigate the difficulty in evaluating critical mobility characteristics for small scale tracked vehicles, particularly at the 20:1 scale. The study was further constrained by examining low cost solutions. A tracked robotic vehicle based on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware was selected, and a complete sensing, instrumentation, and control system was developed for baseline studies. To quantify data and validate the system, we calibrated independent subsystems, which included microcontrollers, motion sensors, and torque measurement using a motor sensing resistor. We critically analyzed the data through various relationships (e.g., vehicle velocity vs slip, thrust force vs vehicle weight, traction coefficient vs slip etc) that exist among common performance characteristics used for full-scale tracked vehicles. Based on the data obtained, we predicted and proved practically the tracked vehicle performance, including maximum grade that can be negotiated. At the end of this research, we found that if some critical factors like sensor and effectors noise is controlled properly, the data can be interpreted effectively and successfully to assess the performance of tracked vehicle on hard surfaces. Additional considerations would have to be made to investigate effectiveness on deformable terrains, as the present work was confined to hard surfaces for establishing the viability of the approach

Scaling in the Timing of Extreme Events

description: Extreme events can come either from point processes, when the size or energy of the events is above a certain threshold, or from time series, when the intensity of a signal surpasses a threshold value. We are particularly concerned by the time between these extreme events, called respectively waiting time and quiet time. If the thresholds are high enough it is possible to justify the existence of scaling laws for the probability distribution of the times as a function of the threshold value, although the scaling functions are different in each case. For point processes, in addition to the trivial Poisson process, one can obtain double-power-law distributions with no finite mean value. This is justified in the context of renormalization-group transformations, where such distributions arise as limiting distributions after iterations of the transformation. Clear connections with the generalized central limit theorem are established from here. The non-existence of finite moments leads to a semi-parametric scaling law in terms of the sample mean waiting time, in which the (usually unkown) scale parameter is eliminated but not the exponents. In the case of time series, scaling can arise by considering random-walk-like signals with absorbing boundaries, resulting in distributions with a power-law "bulk" and a faster decay for long times. For large thresholds the moments of the quiet-time distribution show a power-law dependence with the scale parameter, and isolation of the latter and of the exponents leads to a non-parametric scaling law in terms only of the moments of the distribution. Conclusions about the projections of changes in the occurrence of natural hazards lead to the necessity of distinguishing the behavior of the mean of the distribution with the behavior of the extreme events.

The Self in/and History
Creators: name: Simonetti, Paolo
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: This article aims at investigating the relationship between autofiction, postmemory and historical novel in contemporary US literature through a hybrid subgenre that I would tentatively call “historiographic autofiction” – novels set in a (real or reimagined) historical past (or having to do with historiographic reconstruction) in which the author also appears as a fictionalized character. By analyzing as case studies Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America and William T. Vollmann’s The Rifles, it will be possible to see how autofictional strategies applied to historical narratives apparently provide factual legitimacy to personal, reconstructed, or imagined events, while paradoxically presenting them (as well as their author/protagonist) as fictional. Putting the author’s autofictional self in a historical setting lends credibility to the narration and gives the mark of sincerity and authenticity to the text, bestowing it with testimonial value. At the same time, the work’s evident fictionality deconstructs any actual claim of objectivity or truthfulness, stressing the inevitable manipulation and stratification of history while encouraging reflections on how past narratives influence one’s identity in the act of shaping (and being shaped by) one’s life story.

description: We present the development and evaluation of a hand tracking algorithm based on single depth images captured from an overhead perspective for use in the COACH prompting system. We train a random decision forest body part classifier using approximately 5,000 manually labeled, unbalanced, partially labeled training images. The classifier represents a random subset of pixels in each depth image with a learned probability density function across all trained body parts. A local mode-find approach is used to search for clusters present in the underlying feature space sampled by the classified pixels. In each frame, body part positions are chosen as the mode with the highest confidence. User hand positions are translated into hand washing task actions based on proximity to environmental objects. We validate the performance of the classifier and task action proposals on a large set of approximately 24,000 manually labeled images.

description: Physical activity is one approach that may help manage the symptoms experienced by persons with MS and the burden faced by their care-partners. This thesis examined: i) the efficacy of a physical activity intervention for increasing physical activity in dyads affected by moderate-to- severe MS; and (ii) the interdependence in physical activity in MS-care-partner dyads. A 12- week, randomized pilot feasibility trial was conducted in five (two intervention; three control) MS-care-partner dyads. Participants self-reported physical activity and wore an accelerometer for 7-days at baseline and 12-weeks (i.e., follow-up). A large effect of the intervention was observed on self-reported physical activity (d= 0.98) and time spent sedentary (d= -1.26). Most correlations in physical activity within dyads were moderate-to-strong at baseline (rs range= 0.33-0.72) and over time (rs range= 0.40-0.80). The results from this pilot case study lay the foundation for larger physical activity interventions in dyads affected by MS.

description: Cooperators that refuse to participate in sanctioning defectors create the second-order free-rider problem. Such cooperators will not be punished because they contribute to the public good, but they also eschew the costs associated with punishing defectors. Altruistic punishers - those that cooperate and punish - are at a disadvantage, and it is puzzling how such behaviour has evolved. We show that sharing the responsibility to sanction defectors rather than relying on certain individuals to do so permanently can solve the problem of costly punishment. Inspired by the fact that humans have strong but also emotional tendencies for fair play, we consider probabilistic sanctioning as the simplest way of distributing the duty. In well-mixed populations the public goods game is transformed into a coordination game with full cooperation and defection as the two stable equilibria, while in structured populations pattern formation supports additional counterintuitive solutions that are reminiscent of Parrondo's paradox.

“We Ain’t Going Nowhere. We Here”
Creators: name: Patrizi, Chiara
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: Jesmyn Ward’s oeuvre belongs to an area of the American literary canon that has notable antecedents in the novels of William Faulkner, Zora Neal Hurston and Toni Morrison, and her themes and style show also a polyphony and a sense of the tragic explicitly reminiscent of Ancient Greek tragedy. My article employs Christina Sharpe’s concept of the wake to analyze how – in her novels, memoirs, and nonfiction – Ward manages to work within that literary tradition and with the burdening history (both past and present) of Black people and to produce narratives in which there may be no space for redemption, but which nonetheless show a peculiar sense of hope, grounded on the concepts of survival and witness. In Ward’s writing, survival and witness become the elements that allow an unexpected radiance to shed among the desolation of her stories, thus involving readers in the act of becoming, they too, witnesses. These two means of resistance and resilience have shaped Black people’s identity from the very beginning. A resilience that may appear pointless in the current racial waste land depicted by Ward, but which constitutes a powerful voice to reclaim dignity and humanity for her characters, her people.

Queer Realities
Creators: name: Jayne, Ian
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: In the wake of James Wood’s 2001 decrial of a supposedly “hysterical” realism, critics have debated the continuation and possibilities of post-postmodern realism. During the same two decades, theorists have considered queer lives in relation to normativity, futurity, and possibility. I bridge these twinned inquiries by turning to José Esteban Muñoz’s concepts of disidentification and the queer utopia as a way to elucidate the workings four critically-acclaimed novels: André Aciman’s 2007 Call Me by Your Name, Hanya Yanagihara’s 2015 A Little Life, Brandon Taylor’s 2020 Real Life, and Sam Lansky’s 2020 Broken People. These novels oscillate between the “real” and the “utopic,” a persistent negotiation which playfully collapses temporal, spatial, and affective dimensions as vectors of realism. From Aciman’s neo-melodramatic, first-person narration of American expatriates in northern Italy during the 1980s, to Yanagihara’s and Taylor’s excavations of physical and sexual trauma, and to Lansky’s revision of bourgeois self-invention, these texts demonstrate Muñoz’s assertion that queerness is “a temporal arrangement in which the past is a field of possibility.” This new queer realism is a flexible, crucial, and utopic facet of contemporary American fiction, foregrounding the novel as the site of the possible, and realism as perpetually “not-yet-here.”

Diagnosis. This Mexican species is distinguished from others in the frontalis species group by the weakly modified mid tarsus (Parent 1930, fig. 28; similar to Fig. 129) and arista-like stylus with elongate, narrowly oval apical lamella that is obliquely clipped at apex (Fig. 114).
Redescription (adapted from Parent 1930). Male. Body length 3 mm. Head: Frons shiny metallic violet. Face narrow, satiny white. Antenna (Fig. 114) black; scape slightly shorter than postpedicel; postpedicel elongate oval, about 1.5X as long as wide; arista-like stylus with elongate, narrowly oval apical lamella, obliquely clipped across apex. Thorax: Metepimeron yellow. Scutellum with distinct blue-violet reflections. Legs: Foreleg: Yellow, tarsus dark brown from near apex of tarsomere 2. Tibia slender. Tarsomere 1 very short, about as long as wide. Tarsomere 3 subequal in length to tarsomere 4, with longer dorsal microsetulae at apex. Tarsomere 4 with longer dorsal microsetulae (some hooked) and row of slightly larger microsetulae across apex. Midleg: Yellow, except tarsomeres 2–5 black. Tarsus weakly modified (Parent 1930, fig. 28). Tarsomere 1 slightly longer than combined length of tarsomeres 2–5. Tarsomere 2 scarcely broadened apically, with small anteroapical projection bearing a few longer microsetulae. Tarsomeres 3–4 short, similar in size. Hindleg: Yellow, except tarsus black. Tarsomere 1 slightly but distinctly shorter than tarsomere 2. Wing: Tinged with brown; veins brown. Elongate oval and rather narrow, with anal area somewhat reduced. Abdomen: Tergites 2–3 mostly yellow except narrow median brown band. Tergite 4 with large yellow lateral spot.
Female. Unknown.
Distribution and seasonal occurrence. Known only from the type specimen from near Guadalajara, Mexico (Fig. 147) collected in November.
Remarks. Parent (1930) provided illustrations of the antenna, fore and mid tarsi, and wing. This species seems related to C. frontalis (whose males have an unmodified arista-like stylus) based on the similar, weakly modified mid tarsus. Although Parent (1930) did not note specialized ventral setae on the hind tibia of C. lamellicornis (and the hind tibia are now broken on the type), I suspect such setae could be present and this species will run both ways in the key (couplet 27).

Extinction, Rememory and the Deadly Work of Capitalism in Valeria Luiselli’s “Lost Children Archive”
Creators: name: Iuli, Cristina
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: Valeria Luiselli’s 2019 novel, Lost Children Archive, attends to the inherited repressions, silences, and erasures around the official chronicling of the current migrant and refugee crisis at the Southwestern border between the US and Mexico by developing in a very original narrative format a literary space of personal “re-memory” that encompasses that specific crisis and extends to the geopolitical history of the United States. In the novel, fictional and non-fictional references shape an American landscape that appears as the space of both unfinished colonization and incomplete representation. The novel’s project is to make the disappearances it traces readable, by evoking them first and by re-enacting them later, in its twin sections delivered by two different narrators. In inscribing absences from the present and from the past, the novel both delivers several narratives of “lost” children, lost people, lost sounds, lost landscapes and lost species, and interrogates our conceptual preparedness for the prospect of extinction and for the dis-imagination of the future. It does so historically by linking colonial violence to capitalism’s expansion, and formally by highlighting the affective and archival power of writing vis-à-vis digital narrative and the quantification of information.

Questioning the Borders of Contemporary US Fiction
Creators: name: Schiavini, Cinzia
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: This essay investigates the margins of twentieth-century American novel in the light of the increasingly deterritorialized status of US culture and literature – a literature whose borders need to be reconfigured not only in terms of reception, but of creation as well. In particular, the essay focuses on the Pakistani-born author H.M. Naqvi and his first novel, Home Boy (2009) – part immigrant narrative, part Bildungsroman, part 9/11 novel. Rooting Home Boy deep in the American grain and at the same time investigating the construction of Otherness through the protagonist’s “inoutsider” status and perspective, Naqvi explores the potential and the limits of what can be considered as “performative Americaness,” defined not by genealogic or geographical belonging, but by cultural and literary affiliations in the politically and socially unstable scenario of the post-national world

description: The reconstruction of a species tree from genomic data faces a double hurdle. First, the (gene) tree describing the evolution of each gene may differ from the species tree, for instance, due to incomplete lineage sorting. Second, the aligned genetic sequences at the leaves of each gene tree provide merely an imperfect estimate of the topology of the gene tree. In this note, we demonstrate formally that a basic statistical problem arises if one tries to avoid accounting for these two processes and analyses the genetic data directly via a concatenation approach. More precisely, we show that, under the multi-species coalescent with a standard site substitution model, maximum likelihood estimation on sequence data that has been concatenated across genes and performed under the incorrect assumption that all sites have evolved independently and identically on a fixed tree is a statistically inconsistent estimator of the species tree. Our results provide a formal justification of simulation results described of Kubatko and Degnan (2007) and others, and complements recent theoretical results by DeGorgio and Degnan (2010) and Chifman and Kubtako (2014).

ESFRI Roadmap

description: Over the next 12 months, this task will focus on fostering new collaborations and strengthening existing partnerships with Research Infrastructures (RIs) across Europe and other regions worldwide. 

Within Europe, the emphasis will be on strategic dialogues with RIs on the ESFRI roadmap and the development of collaboration strategies in key priority areas. These efforts will benefit from consultation with ELIXIR Node partners and aim to align activities between European RIs, enhancing bioinformatics and life science research and RIs. Recognising the shared membership of ELIXIR with multiple RIs, this task will allow the alignment of strategic, scientific and technical priorities.

Beyond Europe, the task will raise awareness of ELIXIR's services and resources and enable knowledge exchange with bioinformatics communities worldwide. By building on past and ongoing projects in Latin America, Africa, and beyond, the task will explore the value of distributed RIs and embed best practices into future Node activities. Through these efforts, the task aims to enhance global scientific collaboration and embed ELIXIR's role in the international research landscape.

This planning will serve as a guiding document for the duration of STEERS project. It begins by addressing collaboration with RIs in Europe, outlines expected collaborations with global organisations and geographical regions, and concludes with an overview of communication channels and potential support mechanisms for Nodes in their international engagement.
