Surprise Encounters: Readings in Transatlantic Modernism
Creators: Stanley, Kate

Subjects: American literature
Literature, Modern

description: Since the beginning of the twentieth century, some of the most forceful accounts of modernity have located the traumatic shocks of war, urbanization, and technological change at the heart of modern experience and modernist literature. SURPRISE ENCOUNTERS argues that a dominant framework of shock and rupture has obscured a nineteenth-century conception of surprise, which transformed models of mind and narrative on both sides of the Atlantic. I draw on Ralph Waldo Emerson's formulation of life as "a series of surprises" to distinguish a paradigm of surprise from Walter Benjamin's influential definition of modernity as a "series of shocks and collisions." For Emerson, the fact that we live in an uncertain universe of chance requires moment-by-moment exposure to contingency. The challenge, as he framed it, was to invent new forms of living and writing that allow the unexpected to amplify rather than deaden receptivity, to enrich rather than impoverish experience. "Surprise," one of Emerson's "lords of life," guided such American writers as Henry James, Gertrude Stein, and Nella Larsen, but also Benjamin's shock poets par excellence--Baudelaire and Proust. Each translates Emerson's central question--How do I live so that every moment is new?--into compositional terms, to ask: How do I write so that every sentence is new? Their widely various responses to the Emersonian call hinge on unexpected syntactical and scenic turns that reorient attention and restructure narrative form. My chapters locate surprise in Proust's and Baudelaire's techniques for collapsing timelessness with the ephemeral (modernist methods I trace back to Emerson's "method of nature"); in the lacunae that lodge between past and future tenses in James's scenes of recognition; in Stein's cultivation of fresh grammars of attention; and in Larsen's challenge to Anglo-American master plots that deadeningly dovetail with the deterministic logic of race and reproduction. Each writer's dedication to renewal--temporal, psychic, grammatical, narrative--reframes the present as an open site of experiential and experimental possibility. Beyond representing surprise, the writers of this study are dedicated to training new habits of attention to the unpredictable events that punctuate daily life. In this endeavor, they join psychologists William James and Silvan Tomkins in theorizing surprise as a sudden event that both arrests and spurs processes of feeling and thinking. The literary subject of each chapter is a theorist of emotion and modern experience who exercises a capacity to express as well as enact the aesthetic and psychic dimensions of surprise.

description: This study was designed to develop an assessment tool to measure high school students’ personal epistemology (PE) in the physics domain by using validation processes. Based on theoretical foundations of PE, the PPEQ was conceptualised on six hypothetical dimensions: structure of knowledge [SK], justification of knowledge and knowing [JK], changeability of knowledge [CK], equations in physics [EQ], quick learning [QL], and source of knowledge [source]. In total, 42-items were developed deductively for these dimensions, and a panel of experts assessed the content validity of the instrument. Subsequently, factor analyses were performed to obtain construct-related evidence. First, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed on the data collected from 362 ninth graders. EFA yielded a six-factor solution which excluded the EQ and divided SK into two dimensions: coherent SK and hierarchical SK. Second, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted with the remaining 27-items on data collected from a new sample of 350 ninth graders. The CFA results confirmed that the PPEQ assesses six factors emerged from EFA. Internal consistency of the PPEQ was also found to be very high with Cronbach’s α reliability coefficient of .92, and the coefficients of dimensions ranged from .71 to .83.

Renormalization analysis of intermittency in two coupled maps
Creators: name: Kim, Sang-Yoon
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The critical behavior for intermittency is studied in two coupled one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of an approximate renormalization operator in the space of coupled maps. Each fixed map has a common relavant eigenvaule associated with the scaling of the control parameter of the uncoupled one-dimensional map. However, the relevant ``coupling eigenvalue'' associated with coupling perturbation varies depending on the fixed maps. These renormalization results are also confirmed for a linearly-coupled case.

description: The field vane shear test (FVT) provides the only direct measurement of in-situ yield and residual undrained shear strength and is widely used in geotechnical practice. However, use of this test in mine tailings requires modifications from the ASTM standard to achieve and maintain undrained conditions. This paper advances research presented in recent publications that identified concerns with the accuracy of data obtained in mine tailings using the ASTM standard, as well as those introducing high-speed FVT equipment and modified procedures for mine tailings applications. Herein, the authors present the results and interpretation of a field investigation program commissioned by a confidential mining client across multiple tailings storage facilities (TSFs). The investigation used these modified procedures and high-speed FVT equipment with the objective of mitigating risk associated with the uncertainty of whether FVT results used for selection of design parameters were in an undrained condition. To this end, a series of FVTs were performed at the same depths in adjacent soundings using a range of vane rotation rates for evaluation of both drainage and viscous effects on the measured yield and residual undrained shear strength. Companion cone penetration test (CPT) soundings with pore water pressure dissipation (PPD) tests were also conducted to support the characterization and interpretation. Results from this program demonstrate how the client, in a practical manner, was able to validate their standard of practice for high-speed FVT and determine optimal vane rotation rates that achieve undrained conditions while avoiding viscous effects for the various mine tailings across their portfolio of TSFs. For the mining industry, this provides a model for implementation of similar investigation programs at other TSFs to gain site-specific knowledge of vane rotation rate effects on the measured undrained shear strength for respective mine tailings, as well as a basis and directive for development of modified standards for mine tailings applications superseding the existing ASTM standard.

Software citation

description: Tracking citations to research software via persistent identifiers is difficult due to dilution of citations over many PIDs assigned to a software package. On top of this, software citations are often consistently being edited out by every actor part of the scholarly communication process such as reference managers, publishers, professors and discovery systems. Thus, the survival rate of a software citation is extremely low in the current scholarly ecosystem. The Sloan-funded Asclepias project is a collaboration between a publisher, discovery system and repository with the goal is to promote scientific software into an identifiable, citable, and preservable object. We have built a citation broker, that is currently tracking some 6.000 citations to Zenodo DOIs from NASA ADS, CrossRef and EuropePMC.

description: Background: To investigate effect and toxicity of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in a Danish real-life non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) population. By including patients underrepresented in clinical trials, such as those with brain metastasis (BM), higher age, more comorbidity and poorer performance status (ECOG), comparison of unselected patients to clinical trial populations is possible. Material and methods: Real life data were gathered from 118 consecutive NSCLC patients with incurable NSCLC treated with ICI at the Department of Oncology at the University Hospital of Odense, Denmark from September 2015 to April 2018. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) grades 3–5 were registered prospectively during the same period. Additional patient related data were obtained retrospectively from patients' files. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier estimates, the log-rank test and cox regression analysis performed for factors affecting survival. Results: Median age for patients was 66 years (IQR 59–71) and 62 years (range: 55–64) for those with BM. Females 63%; adenocarcinoma (AC)/squamous/others 69%/23%/8%; ECOG ≥ 2 10%; bone/brain/liver metastases 36%/18%/15%; PD-L1 (TPS) <1%/ ≥ 1%/ ≤ 49%/ ≥ 50%/NR: 3%/14%/68%/15%; baseline autoimmunity 10%, Charlson's Comorbidity Index Score (CCIS) ≥ 2 39%, treatment line: 1st/2nd/ ≥ 3rd 39%/30%/31%. Median OS for patients receiving ICI in ≥2 line was 11.5 months versus not reached in first line (HR 2.6, [95% CI: 1.3–5.0], p = .005). For patients with BM, the median OS was 8.2 months (HR 1.38, [95% CI: 0.7–2.5], p = .37). Twenty-four percent of patients terminated ICI due to irAE grades 3–5 alone (grade 5, n = 1), which were not associated with higher age or BM. Conclusions: OS and PFS were comparable to clinical trial reports. Long-lasting remission is also possible in patients with BM. Real-life populations have higher rates of irAE grades 3 and 4 than reported in clinical trials, but it does not seem to impact median OS.

The approach we follow to determine the integrability is that of the Singularity Analysis. More specifically, we test if the gravitational field equations possesses the Painlevé property. For the exponential potential of the scalar field we are able to perform an analytic explicit integration of the field equations and write the solution in terms of Laurent expansion and more specifically write the solution in terms of Right Painlevé series.

description: Scale invariance provides a principled reason for the physical importance of Hilbert space, the Virasoro algebra, the string mode expansion, canonical commutators and Schroedinger evolution of states, independent of the assumptions of string theory and quantum theory. The usual properties of dimensionful fields imply an infinite, projective tower of conformal weights associated with the tangent space to scale-invariant spacetimes. Convergence and measurability on this tangent tower are guaranteed using a scale-invariant norm, restricted to conformally self-dual vectors. Maps on the resulting Hilbert space are correspondingly restricted to semi-definite conformal weight. We find the maximally- and minimally-commuting, complete Lie algebras of definite-weight operators. The projective symmetry of the tower gives these algebras central charges, giving the canonical commutator and quantum Virasoro algebras, respectively. Using a continuous, m-parameter representation for rank-m tower tensors, we show that the parallel transport equation for the momentum vector of a particle is the Schroedinger equation, while the associated definite-weight operators obey canonical commutation relations. Generalizing to the set of integral curves of general timelike, self-dual vector-valued weight maps gives a lifting such that the action of the curves parallel transports arbitrary tower vectors. We prove that the full set of Schroedinger-lifted integral curves of a general self-dual map gives an immersion of its 2-dim parameter space into spacetime, inducing a Lorentzian metric on the parameter space. The immersion is shown to satisfy the variational equations of open string.

The reconstructed final state of Au + Au collisions from PHENIX and STAR data at sqrt{s}=130 AGeV - indication for quark deconfinement at RHIC

description: The final state of Au + Au collisions at sqrt{s}=130 AGeV at RHIC has been reconstructed within the framework of the Buda-Lund hydrodynamical model, by performing a simultaneous fit to final data on two-particle Bose-Einstein correlations of the STAR and PHENIX Collaborations, and final identified single particle spectra as measured by the PHENIX Collaboration. The results indicate a strongly three-dimensional expansion with a four-velocity field that is almost a spherically symmetric Hubble flow. We find large transverse geometrical source sizes, R_G = 9.8 +- 1.2 fm, a relatively short mean freeze-out time of tau0 = 6.1 +- 0.3 fm/c and a short duration of particle emission, Delta_tau = 0.02 +- 1.5 fm/c. Most strikingly, we find an indication for a hot central part or the hydrodynamically evolving core, characterized by a central temperature of T0 = 202 +- 13 MeV, that is close to (or even above) the deconfinement temperature of the quark-hadron phase transition. The best fit indicates a cold surface temperature of T_s = 110 +- 16 MeV. When the possibility of the hot center is excluded, the confidence level of the fit decreases from 28.9 % to 1.2 %. Predictions are made for the rapidity dependence of the slope parameters, for the transverse mass dependence of the rapidity-width of the single-particle spectra, and for the transverse velocity dependence of the non-indentical particle correlations.

Novel Secured Architecture with Effective Data Sharing in Cloud Based Big Data Storage Environment

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Big data security is a challenging task with many complexities. Big data security is mainly dependent on the infrastructure, data type, management, resource allocation and management and Data analysis. Cloud computing is the trending technology dealing with the big data analysis and storage. A novel architecture involving the data outsourcing, data sharing and data management is proposed for the security of the cloud environment in multiple layers. A hybrid algorithmic module was developed for the important procedures like Data compression, Data clustering and Data Indexing. Corresponding attributes were tested for the analysis of the performance metrics. Though many research and studies were done on the cloud security none of them proved the strength and effectiveness of the security architecture. Hence a decentralized security architecture based on the block chain codes was developed for the IoT applications. A special authentication protocol was proposed for this architecture. All these experiments were conducted in a spark environment to demonstrate the effectiveness of the security performance against space complexity, time complexity and throughput.

description: We study the thermalization, after sudden and slow quenches, of an interacting model having a quantum phase transition from a Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) non-Fermi liquid (NFL) to a Fermi liquid (FL). The model has SYK fermions coupled to non-interacting lead fermions and can be realized in a graphene flake connected to external leads. After a sudden quench to the NFL, a thermal state is reached rapidly via collapse-revival oscillations of the quasiparticle residue of the lead fermions. In contrast, the quench to the FL, across the NFL-FL transition, leads to multiple prethermal regimes and much slower thermalization. In the slow quench performed over a time $τ$, we find that the excitation energy generated has a remarkable intermediate-$τ$ non-analytic power-law dependence, $τ^{-η}$ with $η<1$, which seemingly masks the dynamical manifestation of the initial residual entropy of the SYK fermions. The power-law scaling is expected to eventually break down for $τ\to\infty$, signaling a violation of adiabaticity, due to the residual entropy present in the SYK fermions.

History

description: This thesis serves as a historical case study of the squatter movement of New York City’s East Village and Lower East Side from the 1970s-2000s. Informal squats form in Western cities experiencing blight and abandonment, with a plethora of vacant buildings reclaimed by a population unaccounted for by the “for-profit” housing market. The civic action taken in East Village and Lower East Side resulted in 11 buildings previously owned by the city to be converted into low-income cooperatives through an urban homesteading program. By examining the squatter movement as it relates to gentrification, this thesis aims to pull key demographic patterns to indicate how the neighborhood changed during its transition from disinvestment to reinvestment, as well as investigate the feasibility of urban homesteading as an alternative solution to housing crisis.

Nonlinear dynamics of a solid-state laser with injection

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We analyze the dynamics of a solid-state laser driven by an injected sinusoidal field. For this type of laser, the cavity round-trip time is much shorter than its fluorescence time, yielding a dimensionless ratio of time scales $σ\ll 1$. Analytical criteria are derived for the existence, stability, and bifurcations of phase-locked states. We find three distinct unlocking mechanisms. First, if the dimensionless detuning $Δ$ and injection strength $k$ are small in the sense that $k = O(Δ) \ll σ^{1/2}$, unlocking occurs by a saddle-node infinite-period bifurcation. This is the classic unlocking mechanism governed by the Adler equation: after unlocking occurs, the phases of the drive and the laser drift apart monotonically. The second mechanism occurs if the detuning and the drive strength are large: $k =O(Δ) \gg σ^{1/2}$. In this regime, unlocking is caused instead by a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, leading first to phase trapping and only then to phase drift as the drive is decreased. The third and most interesting mechanism occurs in the distinguished intermediate regime $k, Δ= O(σ^{1/2})$. Here the system exhibits complicated, but nonchaotic, behavior. Furthermore, as the drive decreases below the unlocking threshold, numerical simulations predict a novel self-similar sequence of bifurcations whose details are not yet understood.

description: In recent decades, many cities in China have encouraged the cultural and art sector as a pathway for urban development. With this trend, many art districts and clusters rose and fail and in Beijing and Song Zhuang became the largest original artists cluster in the whole country. While prevailing voices interpret this phenomenon as the result of 'rent' changes, this paper argues that 'art ecosystem diversity' in Song Zhuang has more impact on attracting artists. Borrowing the concept from natural ecosystem diversity, 'art ecosystem diversity' refers to the dynamic interactions and relations among civil society, government, non-governmental organization, artists and villagers. Art ecosystem diversity is strengthened and also leads to a diversified pattern of social stakeholders in the system as well as a mixed-use pattern of land use. While Song Zhuang gains popularity, it is also facing potential impedances, such as loss of diversity and over-commercialization. The analysis conclusion suggests that non-governmental organizations, as representative of public bodies, and its cooperation with governments and artists can anchor the diversity of Song Zhuang and sustain its art ecosystem.
Suturas discursivas del nacionalismo revolucionario en México (1925-1946)

description: This dissertation traces the emergence of a State-sponsored revolutionary culture in Mexico during the late 1920s and early 1930s through an eminently literary corpus of works. The analysis opens by highlighting the role played by literature in the formation of a politically and culturally homogeneous national identity in the years that followed the Revolution. An identity that was politically construed by the nationalist discourse of the Revolution, socially imagined as rural and peasant, and culturally characterized by machismo, secularism, and political unawareness. In this way, the dissertation argues that the consolidation of a national identity and political hegemony in those terms entailed the removal of marginal subjectivities and spaces: like the urban space of Mexico City and its inhabitants, the villista revolutionaries, the Cristero rebels and communist militants from the body politic because those subjectivities problematized the horizontality of Mexican identity, a process I call the Excisions from the National. In order to problematize these Excisions, I examine the representation of some of those marginal subjectivities and antagonistic identitary positions namely those found in key works of urban revolutionary, Villista, Cristero, and communist literatures. The dissertation traces how these subjectivities challenged revolutionary culture’s narrative of identity and of the nation itself and them moves on to construe what I call the Sutures of the National, a term I have coined to designate the manner in which these marginal subjectivities were later reincorporated to the body politic of the nation in a neutralized way once the revolutionary regime had stabilized during the 1940s and 50s. My analysis concludes by examining how the process of re-incorporating these subjectivities into the symbolic order of national identity led to certain unintended paradoxical binarisms of Mexican culture.

description: Quantum correlations between two parties are essential for the argument of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in favour of the incompleteness of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger noted that an essential point is the fact that one party can influence the wave function of the other party by performing suitable measurements. He called this phenomenon quantum steering and studied its properties, but only in the last years this kind of quantum correlation attracted significant interest in quantum information theory. In this paper the theory of quantum steering is reviewed. First, the basic concepts of steering and local hidden state models are presented and their relation to entanglement and Bell nonlocality is explained. Then various criteria for characterizing steerability and structural results on the phenomenon are described. A detailed discussion is given on the connections between steering and incompatibility of quantum measurements. Finally, applications of steering in quantum information processing and further related topics are reviewed.

New Directions for Tailings Management
Creators: name: Nelson, Priscilla P.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The global mining industry anticipates that societal demands will drive increased annual production rates, and the world-wide concern for the potential consequences from conventional tailings dam failure will drive increased scrutiny. This paper will provide an update on new technologies and approaches to tailings management that are being pursued since the writing of the SME Tailings Management Handbook (Nelson, 2022). The paper presents approaches to “zero waste” mining, including in-situ mining to reduce tailings volume, advanced processing that reduces water requirements and minimizes reagents, upscale and downscale uses for tailings materials, mine waste remining for critical minerals and metals, and new materials manufactured from tailings. Zero waste operations will extend the value chain for the mining industry to engage the circular economy through downstream production of value-added products that minimize the need for tailings disposal. This paper reviews the variety of opportunities for tailings management such that the long-term social and environmental impacts and liability are reduced or become benefits, and for revenue generation through remining/reprocessing when extraction technology improves. The paper also identifies opportunities for innovations in tailings dewatering, including the potential for mass application of in-situ electrokinetics for legacy, inactive and operational conventional TSFs.

description: We study the behavior of the pion dispersion relation in a pion medium at finite density and temperature. We introduce a pion chemical potential to describe the finite pion number density and argue that such description is valid during the hadronic phase of a relativistic heavy-ion collision between chemical and thermal freeze-out. We make use of an effective Lagrangian that explicitly respects chiral symmetry through the enforcement of the chiral Ward identities. The pion dispersion relation is computed through the computation of the pion self-energy in a non-perturbative fashion by giving an approximate solution to the Schwinger-Dyson equation for this self-energy. The dispersion relation is described in terms of a density and temperature dependent mass and an index of refraction which is also temperature, density as well as momentum dependent. The index of refraction is larger than unity for all values of the momentum for finite $μ$ and $T$. We conclude by exploring some of the possible consequences for the propagation of pions through the boundary between the medium and vacuum.

Nonequilibrium inflaton dynamics and reheating: Back reaction of parametric particle creation and curved spacetime effects

description: We present a detailed and systematic analysis of the nonperturbative, nonequilibrium dynamics of a quantum field in the reheating phase of inflatonary cosmology, including full back reactions of the quantum field on the curved spacetime, as well as the fluctuations on the mean field. We use the O(N) field theory with unbroken symmetry in a spatially flat FRW universe to study the dynamics of the inflaton in the post-inflaton, preheating stage. Oscillations of the inflaton's zero mode induce parametric amplification of quantum fluctuations, resulting in a rapid transfer of energy to the inhomogeneous modes of the inflaton field. We adopt the coupled nonperturbative equations for the mean field and variance derived in a preceding paper [gr-qc/9706001] by means of a two-particle-irreducible (2PI), closed-time-path (CTP) effective action for curved spacetime while specialized to leading order in the 1/N expansion. Adiabatic regularization is employed. The renormalized dynamical equations are evolved numerically from initial data which are generic to the end state of slow roll in many inflatonary cosmological scenarios. The initial conditions consist of a large-amplitude, quasiclassical, oscillating mean field, and a variance given by the de Sitter-invariant vacuum. We find that for sufficiently large initial mean-field amplitudes in this model, the parametric resonance effect alone (in a collisionless approximation) is not an efficient means to "preheat" the quantum field. For small initial mean-field amplitude, damping of the mean field via parametric amplification of quantum fluctuations is seen to occur. Our results indicate that the self-consistent dynamics of spacetime plays an important role in determining the physics of the post-inflatonary Universe.

description: Non-trivial braid-group representations appear as non-Abelian quantum statistics of emergent Majorana zero modes in one and two-dimensional topological superconductors. Here, we generate such representations with topologically protected domain-wall modes in a classical analogue of the Kitaev superconducting chain, with a particle-hole like symmetry and a Z2 topological invariant. The mid-gap modes are found to exhibit distinct fusion channels and rich non-Abelian braiding properties, which are investigated using a T-junction setup. We employ the adiabatic theorem to explicitly calculate the braiding matrices for one and two pairs of these mid-gap topological defects.

Engineering Geological Models and a Digital Modelling Solution for Tailings Management

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Topic II of the 2020 Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) requires the development, maintenance, and use of an interdisciplinary knowledge base, which includes the requirement (Requirement 2.2) for a site ground characterization (considered in part to be an Engineering Geological Model). The International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) Guidelines for the Development and Application of Engineering Geological Models on Projects defines an Engineering Geological Model (EGM) as “a knowledge framework for the logical evaluation and interpretation of all of the geological conditions and their engineering characteristics that are of significance to a project.” An EGM comprises both conceptual and observational inputs and encompasses components of geology, geomorphology, hydrogeology, and geotechnical engineering. Tailings and construction materials are included in the EGM. From a Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) foundation and construction materials characterization perspective, the development of EGMs is pertinent to making robust engineering decisions (particularly those pertaining to stability and seepage) for facilities in any stage of their lifecycle, and to demonstrate the compliance of both new and historic facilities to relevant standards, guidelines, and edicts. Additionally, Topic II of GISTM requires a collaborative approach to data management with multi-disciplinary knowledge disseminated among all stakeholders to support informed decision making. This means EGMs must be both accessible and dynamic, set up in a way that allows data within the framework to be continually interrogated and updated. An EGM solution for tailings management is presented that focuses on the integration of softwares that contain the knowledge framework within a 3D digital model. The solution focuses on making data accessible and maintaining dynamic connections between stored investigation and monitoring data, developed digital models, and engineering analysis software. The EGMs, their digital models and accompanying databases serve as a single source of engineering geological truth for each facility.
