Paradoxes and the Scandals of Logic: a Borgesian Look Over Juan Rodolfo Wilcock Critical and Journalistic Articles
Creators: name: Ferrante, Florencia
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2019

description:
In recent years Juan Rodolfo Wilcock has been the subject of renewed critical interest. This article focuses on the relations between some of Wilcock’s and Jorge Luis Borges’ philosophical conceptions, especially regarding their reflections on the concept of ‘paradox’ and its repercussions on literary representation. This article examines a series of texts that have remained, so far, practically unexplored: Wilcock’s press and critical articles. It is in fact here, in this specific corpus, that the impact of Borges’ work on Wilcock’s thought becomes more explicit, therefore opening a new critical perspective for the interpretation of Wilcock’s place in the Italian literary field.

description: We present experimental and theoretical studies of the magnetoresistance oscillations induced by resonance transitions of electrons between tunnel-coupled states in double quantum wells. The suppression of these oscillations with increasing temperature is irrelevant to the thermal broadening of the Fermi distribution and reflects the temperature dependence of the quantum lifetime of electrons. The gate control of the period and amplitude of the oscillations is demonstrated.

description: The challenges of a polycentric world necessitate new ways of addressing global problems. Of late,

strategic partnerships have become prominent features in the foreign profiles of international actors.

They can be seen as a practice of cooperation, and can be further broken down to patterned actions,

such as diplomacy and summitry. These practices feature prominently in the ASEAN-China strategic

partnership for two reasons. First, diplomacy has proven to be pivotal in both the securitization and

the desecuritization of the South China Sea maritime dispute. Second, summitry is the foundation of

the ASEAN-China Dialogue Relations, which was formally established in 1996, and on which the strategic

partnership is built. Looking at the ASEAN-China strategic partnership from the perspective of

practice theory can then identify the constitutive effects of practices on regional cooperation. This effectively

moves the discussion about strategic partnerships from what they are to how they operate in

international relations. The practices of diplomacy and summitry in ASEAN-China relations can then

be argued as the key forces behind regional cooperation.

Year: 2019

description:
This study analyses from a semiotic perspective Perla Suez novel El país del diablo (2015). It focuses on the narrative and descriptive process which are at the heart of the inversion the text carries out in a specific intertextual relation with the discursive devices of the official story known as the ‘Conquista del Desierto’. This was a military campaign which took place between 1878 and 1885 to take control of vast areas of the Pampas and Argentinian Patagonia from the indigenous populations. It also analyses textual devices that support a perspective shift resulting in a mythical, ecological and animistic vision of the Mapuche tribes.

description: The weakly nonlinear rheology of a surfactant solution of wormlike micelles is investigated from both a modeling and experimental perspective using the framework of medium amplitude parallel superposition (MAPS) rheology. MAPS rheology defines material functions, such as the third order complex compliance, which span the entire weakly nonlinear response space of viscoelastic materials to simple shear deformations. Three-tone oscillatory shear deformations are applied to obtain feature-rich data characterizing the third order complex compliance with high data throughput. Here, data for a CPyCl solution are compared to the analytical solution for the MAPS response of a reptation-reaction constitutive model, which treats micelles as linear polymers that can break apart and recombine in solution. Regression of the data to the model predictions provides new insight into how these breakage and recombination processes are affected by shear, and demonstrates the importance of using information-rich data to infer precise estimates of model parameters.

Ionised carbon and galaxy activity
Creators: name: Curran, S. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the possibility that the decrease in the relative luminosity of the 158 micron [CII] line with the far-infrared luminosity in extragalactic sources stems from a stronger contribution from the heated dust emission in the more distant sources. Due to the flux limited nature of these surveys, the luminosity of the detected objects increases with distance. However, the [CII] luminosity does not climb as steeply as that of the far-infrared, giving the decline in the L_[CII]/L_FIR ratio with L_FIR. Investigating this further, we find that the [CII] luminosity exhibits similar drops as measured against the carbon monoxide and radio continuum luminosities. The former may indicate that at higher luminosities a larger fraction of the carbon is locked up in the form of molecules and/or that the CO line radiation also contributes to the cooling, done mainly by the [CII] line at low luminosities. The latter hints at increased activity in these galaxies at greater distances, so we suggest that, in addition to an underlying heating of the dust by a stellar population, there is also heating of the embedded dusty torus by the ultra-violet emission from the active nucleus, resulting in an excess in the far-infrared emission from the more luminous objects.

description: We prove a theorem about elliptic operators with symmetric potential functions, defined on a function space over a closed loop. The result is similar to a known result for a function space on an interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These theorems provide accurate numerical methods for finding the spectra of those operators over either type of function space. As an application, we numerically compute the Morse index of constant mean curvature tori of revolution in the unit 3-sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$, confirming that every such torus has Morse index at least five, and showing that other known lower bounds for this Morse index are close to optimal.

description: We present a set of four Gemini-North GMOS/IFU observations of the central disturbed regions of the dwarf irregular starburst galaxy NGC 1569, surrounding the well-known super star clusters A and B. This continues on directly from a companion paper, in which we describe the data reduction and analysis techniques employed and present the analysis of one of the IFU pointings. By decomposing the emission line profiles across the IFU fields, we map out the properties of each individual component identified and identify a number of relationships and correlations that allow us to investigate in detail the state of the ionized ISM. Our observations support and expand on the main findings from the analysis of the first IFU position, where we conclude that a broad (< 400 km/s) component underlying the bright nebular emission lines is produced in a turbulent mixing layer on the surface of cool gas knots, set up by the impact of the fast-flowing cluster winds. We discuss the kinematic, electron density and excitation maps of each region in detail and compare our results to previous studies. Our analysis reveals a very complex environment with many overlapping and superimposed components, including dissolving gas knots, rapidly expanding shocked shells and embedded ionizing sources, but no evidence for organised bulk motions. We conclude that the four IFU positions presented here lie well within the starburst region where energy is injected, and, from the lack of substantial ordered gas flows, within the quasi-hydrostatic zone of the wind interior to the sonic point. The net outflow occurs at radii beyond 100-200 pc, but our data imply that mass-loading of the hot ISM is active even at the roots of the wind.

Year: 2019

description:
The paper aims at studying the female immigrant of the 21st century in Spain from a cinematographic and literary point of view. After explaining what immigration is and which are the factors that influence this growing phenomena, cinema and literature of immigration are presented in order to analyse the works that are object of this study: the movies A mi madre le gustan las mujeres (2001) of Daniela Féjerman, Canciones de amor en Lolita’s Club (2007) of Vicente Aranda, Evelyn (2012) of Isabel de Ocampo, and the novels La patera (2000) of Mahi Binebine, Las voces del Estrecho (2016) of Andrés Sorel, Deshojando alcachofas (2005) of Esther Bendahan. On one hand the selected films and books give an overview of the immigrant women focusing on the stereotypes and the prejudices shared by the Western societies. On the other hand, they give a realistic and objective representation, showing the inferior position and the exploitation that the immigrant women have to endure.

description: In the scenarios of specific conditions and crises such as the coronavirus pandemic, the availability of e-learning ecosystem elements is further highlighted. The growing importance for securing such an ecosystem can be seen from DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on e-learning components of the Croatian e-learning system. The negative impact of the conducted attack is visible in numerous users who were prevented from participating in and implementing the planned teaching process. Network anomalies such as conducted DDoS attacks were identified as one of the crucial threats to the e-learning systems. In this paper, an overview of the network anomaly phenomenon was given and botnets' role in generating DDoS attacks, especially IoT device impact. The paper analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the e-learning systems in Croatia. Based on the conclusions, a research methodology has been proposed to develop a cyber-threat detection model that considers the specifics of the application of e-learning systems in crisis, distinguishing flash crowd events from anomalies in the communication network. The proposed methodology includes establishing a theoretical basis on DDoS and flash crowd event traffic, defining a laboratory testbed setup for data acquisition, development of DDoS detection model, and testing the applicability of the developed model on the case study. The implementation of the proposed methodology can improve the quality of the teaching process through timely DDoS detection and it gives other socio-economic contributions such as developing a specific research domain, publicly available dataset of network traffic, and raising the cyber-security of the e-learning systems.

description: We present a strong constraint on variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio, mu, over cosmological time scales using molecular hydrogen transitions in optical quasar spectra. Using high quality spectra of quasars Q0405-443, Q0347-383 and Q0528-250, variation in mu relative to the present day value is limited to (Delta mu)/mu=(2.6 +/- 3.0) x 10^(-6). We reduce systematic errors compared to previous works by substantially improving the spectral wavelength calibration method and by fitting absorption profiles to the forest of hydrogen Lyman alpha transitions surrounding each H_2 transition. Our results are consistent with no variation, and inconsistent with a previous approx 4 sigma detection of mu variation involving Q0405-443 and Q0347-383. If the results of this work and those suggesting that alpha may be varying are both correct, then this would tend to disfavour certain grand unification models.

description: A fraction of energy is theoretically predicted to be captured from electromagnetic field to form a gravitating mass, when a low-mass charged particle enters the strong field from a region of no electromagnetism. In this paper the mass variation has been calculated for a charged particle on free-fall in the constraint electromagnetic field. It has been shown that there is an evident effect to the variation in mass when the low-mass charged particle is in the strong field.

description: Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy has been used to characterise strain coupling and relaxation behaviour associated with magnetic/magnetoelectric phase transitions in GdMnO3, TbMnO3 and TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 through their influence on elastic/anelastic properties. Acoustic attenuation ahead of the paramagnetic  colinear-sinusoidal/incommensurate/antiferromagnetic transition at ~41 K correlates with anomalies in dielectric properties and is interpreted in terms of Debye-like freezing processes. A loss peak at ~150 K is related to a steep increase in electrical conductivity with a polaron mechanism. The activation energy, Ea, of ≥ ~0.04 eV from a loss peak at ~80 K is consistent with the existence of a well-defined temperature interval in which the paramagnetic structure is stabilised by local, dynamic correlations of electric and magnetic polarisation that couple with strain and have relaxation times in the vicinity of ~10-6 s. Comparison with previously published data for Sm0.6Y0.4MnO3 confirms that this pattern may be typical for multiferroic orthorhombic RMnO3 perovskites (R = Gd, Tb, Dy). A frequency-dependent loss peak near 10 K observed for TbMnO3 and TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3, but not for GdMnO3, yielded Ea ≥ ~0.002 eV and is interpreted as freezing of some magnetoelastic component of the cycloid structure. Small anomalies in elastic properties associated with the incommensurate and cycloidal magnetic transitions confirm results from thermal expansion data that the magnetic order parameters have weak but significant coupling with strain. Even at strain magnitudes of ~0.1-1 ‰, polaron-like strain effects are clearly important in defining the development and evolution of magnetoelectric properties in these materials. Strains associated with the cubic - orthorhombic transition due to the combined Jahn-Teller/octahedral tilting transition in the vicinity of 1500 K are 2-3 orders of magnitude greater. It is inevitable that ferroelastic twin walls due to this transition would have significantly different magnetoelectric properties from homogeneous domains due to magnetoelastic coupling with steep strain gradients.

description: Visual appearance is an important aspect influencing the perception and consequent acceptance of Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA). To this end, the Uncanny Valley theory contradicts the common assumption that increased humanization of characters leads to better acceptance. Rather, it shows that anthropomorphic behavior may trigger feelings of eeriness and rejection in people. The work presented in this paper explores whether four different autonomous ECAs, specifically build for a European research project, are affected by this effect, and how they compare to two slightly more realistically looking human-controlled, i.e. face-tracked, ECAs with respect to perceived humanness, eeriness, and attractiveness. Short videos of the ECAs in combination with a validated questionnaire were used to investigate potential differences. Results support existing theories highlighting that increased perceived humanness correlates with increased perceived eeriness. Furthermore, it was found, that neither the gender of survey participants, their age, nor the sex of the ECA influences this effect, and that female ECAs are perceived to be significantly more attractive than their male counterparts.

The proof of continuity integrates methods from discrete geometry and lattice theory, while the proof of generic completeness combines techniques from geometry with analysis. The fingerprint has a fast algorithm based on Brillouin zones and related inclusion-exclusion formulae. We have implemented the algorithm and describe its application to crystal structure prediction.

description:
This essay, first and foremost, puts into context the relevance of Joan Fuster and Rafael-Lluís Ninyoles’ work during the 1960s. In addition, it distinguishes their different way of analysing society in general, and Valencian society in particular. On one hand, Joan Fuster approached reality through literary essays. Ninyoles, on the other hand, adopted a sociological perspective. Two different ways of observing the world that the author of this study considers as supplementary. Finally, the essay argues that the book Madre España, written by Rafael-Lluís Ninyoles, constitutes a complete treatise about Spanish nationalist thought morphology, which is nowadays as valid as it was decades ago.

Contrary to our previous guess, this coefficient turns out to be different from that one entering heavy flavor decay or heavy flavor fragmentation.

description: Bond stretching mimics different levels of electron correlation and provides a challenging testbed for approximate many-body computational methods. Using the recently developed phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AF QMC) method, we examine bond stretching in the well-studied molecules BH and N$_2$, and in the H$_{50}$ chain. To control the sign/phase problem, the phaseless AF QMC method constrains the paths in the auxiliary-field path integrals with an approximate phase condition that depends on a trial wave function. With single Slater determinants from unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) as trial wave function, the phaseless AF QMC method generally gives better overall accuracy and a more uniform behavior than the coupled cluster CCSD(T) method in mapping the potential-energy curve. In both BH and N$_2$, we also study the use of multiple-determinant trial wave functions from multi-configuration self-consistent-field (MCSCF) calculations. The increase in computational cost versus the gain in statistical and systematic accuracy are examined. With such trial wave functions, excellent results are obtained across the entire region between equilibrium and the dissociation limit.

The relationship of comprehension and production : a study of a nonverbal child
Creators: name: Riley, Jeffrey Keith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This research examines whether a seven-year-old nonverbal boy's comprehension of syntax develops at an accelerated rate following the introduction of speech output through a portable speech synthesizer (VOIS 135). The study was motivated by (1) a general lack of agreement about the relationship of comprehension and production in language acquisition, (2) some child language investigators' claims that--at certain points during the development of language--production precedes and influences comprehension, and (3) the natural experimental condition provided by a nonverbal child who is suddenly given the ability to 'speak' with the help of a portable speech synthesizer. At the beginning of the research period, the child's sentence comprehension was thoroughly assessed with standard and special purpose tests. His production was assessed through analysis of videotaped interactions. The child was then trained to use the synthetic speech device (VOIS 135) over an eight month period. At the end of this period testing of both comprehension and production was repeated to provide a measurement of language growth in each performance mode. The child demonstrated comprehension of concatenated structures and clefts at the end of the research period; this represented a developmental leap from the beginning of the research period when he understood only much simpler structures. During the eight month study, development of comprehension on the lexical level came to an apparent halt. Production results indicated that the child experienced a definite expansion in productive vocabulary and length of utterance during the research period. Observations indicated that the child's pragmatic and discourse skills improved markedly with his use of the speech output device. Factors which might account for developments (or lack of development as in the case of lexical comprehension) are discussed. Clinical implications of improvements in pragmatic and discourse skills through the use of the device are considered along with methodological suggestions for using this study as a pilot for larger research. Conclusions are that: (1) use of the speech synthesizer led the child to listen to utterances as structural wholes; (2) the child became a more active and independent partner in the communication exchange; (3) synthetic speech garnered the child more attention and more opportunities for interaction; (4) synthetic speech gave the subject access to a greater range of communication partners. While the comprehension-production results are interesting, i.e. the child was able to understand structures at a level of unanticipated complexity after being trained to use the speech device, these results do not elucidate the nature of the comprehension-production relationship. Difficulties in interpreting the results of this study underline the need for a coherent theory relating comprehension and production in language development.

All compounds in the composition range x .LE. 0.3 crystallize in the orthorhombic structure (Space Group Pnma). No further structural transition is observed as temperature is lowered below 300K. The compound x = 0.4, is a mixture of two orthorhombic phases crystallizing in Pnma and Fmmm space group. The x = 0.5 compound has a tetragonal structure in the space group, I4/mcm. The charge ordered (CO) state with CE-type antiferromagnetic order remains stable for x .LE. 0.3. Above x = 0.3, the CE-type antiferromagnetic state is suppressed. In x = 0.4 compound, A-type antiferromagnetic ordering is found at temperatures below 200K. Orbital ordering accompanying the spin ordering is found in all the samples with x .LE. 0.4. The system becomes ferromagnetic at x = 0.5 and no signature of orbital ordering is observed. As a function of , the charge ordered state is stable up to ~ 1.24A, and is suppressed thereafter. The magnetic structure undergoes a transformation from CE-type antiferromagnetic state to a ferromagnetic state with an intermediate A-type antiferromagnetic state.

description: Potassium-ion ($\rm K$-ion) rechargeable batteries; considered to be lucrative low-cost battery options for large-scale and capacious energy storage systems, have been garnering tremendous attention in recent years. However, due to the scarcity of cathode materials that can condone the reversible re-insertion of the large $\rm K$-ions at feasible capacities, the viability of $\rm K$-ion batteries has been greatly undercut. In this paper, we explore a potential cathode material in the $\rm K_2O$-$\rm Fe_2O_3$-$\rm MnO_2$ ternary phase system, that not only demonstrates reversible $\rm K$-ion reinsertion but also manifests relatively fast rate capabilities. The titled cathode compound, $\rm K_{0.4}Fe_{0.5}Mn_{0.5}O_2$, demonstrates a reversible capacity of approximately $\rm120 $ mAh g$^{-1}$ at $\rm 10$ hours of (dis)charge ($viz.$, $\rm C/10$ rate) with $ca.$ $\rm 85$% of the capacity being retained at a $\rm 1$ hour of (dis)charge ($\rm 1 C$ rate) which is considered to be good capacity retention. Additionally, both hard and soft X-rays have been employed to unravel the mechanism by which $\rm K$-ion is reversibly inserted into $\rm K_{0.4}Fe_{0.5}Mn_{0.5}O_2$. The results revealed a cumulative participation of both manganese cations and oxygen anions in $\rm K_{0.4}Fe_{0.5}Mn_{0.5}O_2$ illustrating its potential as a high-capacity $\rm K$-ion battery cathode material that relies on both anion and cation redox. Further development of related high-capacity cathode compositions can be anticipated.

description: Quantum computers are invaluable tools to explore the properties of complex quantum systems. We show that dynamical localization of the quantum sawtooth map, a highly sensitive quantum coherent phenomenon, can be simulated on actual, small-scale quantum processors. Our results demonstrate that quantum computing of dynamical localization may become a convenient tool for evaluating advances in quantum hardware performances.

description: A simplicial complex $Δ$ is called flag if all minimal nonfaces of $Δ$ have at most two elements. The following are proved: First, if $Δ$ is a flag simplicial pseudomanifold of dimension $d-1$, then the graph of $Δ$ (i) is $(2d-2)$-vertex-connected and (ii) has a subgraph which is a subdivision of the graph of the $d$-dimensional cross-polytope. Second, the $h$-vector of a flag simplicial homology sphere $Δ$ of dimension $d-1$ is minimized when $Δ$ is the boundary complex of the $d$-dimensional cross-polytope.

description: The computer science research community and the broader public have become increasingly aware of negative consequences of algorithmic systems. In response, the top-tier Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference for machine learning and artificial intelligence research required that authors include a statement of broader impact to reflect on potential positive and negative consequences of their work. We present the results of a qualitative thematic analysis of a sample of statements written for the 2020 conference. The themes we identify broadly fall into categories related to how consequences are expressed (e.g., valence, specificity, uncertainty), areas of impacts expressed (e.g., bias, the environment, labor, privacy), and researchers' recommendations for mitigating negative consequences in the future. In light of our results, we offer perspectives on how the broader impact statement can be implemented in future iterations to better align with potential goals.

description: The fast skeletal myosin light chain2 gene (mlc2f) was isolated and characterized
 from mud loach (Misgurnus mizolepis). The mRNA expression of endogenous mlc2f in
 wild type adult mud loach was mainly observed in skeletal muscle tissue and much
 lower levels in skin and gill tissue. A transgenic construct using mlc2f promoter
 attached to cyan fluorescent protein gene was used to drive skeletal muscle-specific
 expression of the fluorescent reporter in transgenic mud loach . All transgenic founders
 exhibited mosaic expression of transgene. A founder transgenic male successfully
 transmitted the transgene to the subsequent generation. Transgenic CFP signals were
 not found during embryonic developmental stage but afterward the signals were found
 to be visualized at 12 hours post hatching. During early larval growth, CFP signals
 were observed in fin muscles, head muscles and skeletal muscles. At juvenile stage,
 CFP signals were observed reliably in skeletal muscle. In adult stage of F1 generation,
 strongest CFP expression was visible in skeletal muscle tissue in accordance with the
 highest mRNA expression of endogenous mlc2f in muscle. Fluorescent transgene was
 passed on to the subsequent generation (F2) following the Mendelian single gene
 inheritance pattern. Histological analysis using F2 transgenic also showed the skeletal
 muscle-dominant transgenic expression. This study provided evidence of the potential of
 mlc2f promoter to drive skeletal muscle specific expression in the mud loach. Using
 mlc2f promoter and CFP as reporter gene, it is possible to monitor development of
 fast skeletal muscle in real time fashion and on site from larva until adult stage of
 transgenic mud loach.
