Il “lavoro dello spirito”. La psicolinguistica antiriduzionistica di Maine de Biran
Creators: name: Piazza, Marco
Publisher: name: Annali del Dipartimento di Filosofia
Year: 2002

description: The subject of this work is Maine de Biran’s (1766-1824) theory about nature, origin and function of language, and about signs in general. Such theoretical reflection is a not very well explored aspect of Biran’s thought, whereas it is extremely important because of its connections with Biran’s doctrine of the active nature of human being. In the present article we have tried to make a reconstruction of this reflection that shows in deep the connections between Biran’s thought and the doctrines of his main interlocutors: Condillac, Maupertuis, Rousseau, Destutt de Tracy.

description: Reinforcement learning studies how an agent should interact with an environment to maximize its cumulative reward. A standard way to study this question abstractly is to ask how many samples an agent needs from the environment to learn an optimal policy for a $γ$-discounted Markov decision process (MDP). For such an MDP, we design quantum algorithms that approximate an optimal policy ($π^*$), the optimal value function ($v^*$), and the optimal $Q$-function ($q^*$), assuming the algorithms can access samples from the environment in quantum superposition. This assumption is justified whenever there exists a simulator for the environment; for example, if the environment is a video game or some other program. Our quantum algorithms, inspired by value iteration, achieve quadratic speedups over the best-possible classical sample complexities in the approximation accuracy ($ε$) and two main parameters of the MDP: the effective time horizon ($\frac{1}{1-γ}$) and the size of the action space ($A$). Moreover, we show that our quantum algorithm for computing $q^*$ is optimal by proving a matching quantum lower bound.

description: Control systems are sets of interconnected hardware and software components which regulate the behaviour of processes. The software of modern control systems rises for some years by requirements regarding the flexibility and functionality. Thus the force of innovation grows on enterprises, since ever newer products in ever shorter time intervals must be made available. Associated hereby is the crucial shortening of the product life cycle, whose effects show up in reduced care of the software and the spares inventory. The aim, the concept presented here and developed in a modeling environment, is proved and ensures a minimum functionality of software components. Replacing software components of a control system verified for functionality by a framework at run-time and if necessary the software conditions will become adapted. Quintessential point of this implementation is the usage of an abstract syntax tree. Within its hierarchical structure meta information is attached to nodes and processed by the framework. With the development of the concept for semantic proving of software components the lifetime of software-based products is increased.

description: This essay shows the Raymond Aron’s theory of Industrial society in a coherent and organic way. It particularly points out the links between the author’s philosophical theory of history and his political and sociological positions during the period of the Cold War. The concept of the «autonomy of political», and the related theory of the «primacy of political», must be considered as the logic consequences of his reflections about conditions and limits of historical and social knowledge.

description: We study dependence of jet quenching on matter density, using "tomography" of the fireball provided by RHIC data on azimuthal anisotropy $v_2$ of high $p_t$ hadron yield at different centralities. Slicing the fireball into shells with constant (entropy) density, we derive a "layer-wise geometrical limit" $v_2^{max}$ which is indeed above the data $v_2T_c$. One possible reason for that may be recent indications that the near-$T_c$ region is a magnetic plasma of relatively light color-magnetic monopoles.

Loop Quantum Gravity a la Aharonov-Bohm

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The state space of Loop Quantum Gravity admits a decomposition into orthogonal subspaces associated to diffeomorphism equivalence classes of spin-network graphs. In this paper I investigate the possibility of obtaining this state space from the quantization of a topological field theory with many degrees of freedom. The starting point is a 3-manifold with a network of defect-lines. A locally-flat connection on this manifold can have non-trivial holonomy around non-contractible loops. This is in fact the mathematical origin of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. I quantize this theory using standard field theoretical methods. The functional integral defining the scalar product is shown to reduce to a finite dimensional integral over moduli space. A non-trivial measure given by the Faddeev-Popov determinant is derived. I argue that the scalar product obtained coincides with the one used in Loop Quantum Gravity. I provide an explicit derivation in the case of a single defect-line, corresponding to a single loop in Loop Quantum Gravity. Moreover, I discuss the relation with spin-networks as used in the context of spin foam models.

Monte Carlo studies of the chiral and spin orderings of the three-dimensional Heisenberg spin glass

description: The nature of the ordering of the three-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg spin glass with nearest-neighbor random Gaussian coupling is studied by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Several independent physical quantities are measured both for the spin and for the chirality, including the correlation-length ratio, the Binder ratio, the glass order parameter, the overlap distribution function and the non-self-averageness parameter. By controlling the effect of the correction-to-scaling, we have obtained a numerical evidence for the occurrence of successive chiral-glass and spin-glass transitions at nonzero temperatures, T_{CG} > T_{SG} > 0. Hence, the spin and the chirality are decoupled in the ordering of the model. The chiral-glass exponents are estimated to be ν_{CG}=1.4+-0.2 and η_{CG}=0.6+-0.2, indicating that the chiral-glass transition lies in a universality class different from that of the Ising spin glass. The possibility that the spin and chiral sectors undergo a simultaneous Kosterlitz-Thouless-type transition is ruled out. The chiral-glass state turns out to be non-self-averaging, possibly accompanying a one-step-like peculiar replica-symmetry breaking. Implications to the chirality scenario of experimental spin-glass transitions are discussed.

description: Many types of cells can sense external ligand concentrations with cell-surface receptors at extremely high accuracy. Interestingly, ligand-bound receptors are often internalized, a process also known as receptor-mediated endocytosis. While internalization is involved in a vast number of important functions for the life of a cell, it was recently also suggested to increase the accuracy of sensing ligand as the overcounting of the same ligand molecules is reduced. Here we show, by extending simple ligand-receptor models to out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics, that internalization increases the accuracy with which cells can measure ligand concentrations in the external environment. Comparison with experimental rates of real receptors demonstrates that our model has indeed biological significance.

Role bargaining : a means of adaptation to strain within dual work families
Creators: name: Humphreys, Elizabeth W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: It is generally recognized that considerable strain exists in women's dual role of housewife and wage earner. The concern of this thesis is to provide a description and analysis of this strain and determine the extent to which husbands and wives redistribute their family roles in response to such strain. A major focus is the relative contributions of dual work spouses to the performance of household tasks, under varying degrees of strain. Two sources of data were utilized: time-budget data for 389 couples and interview data for 10 couples. The analysis of the time-budget data indicates that the husbands' participation in household tasks is to a large extent independent of the demands placed upon their wives. The qualitative analysis suggests that wives with paying jobs adapt to the demands of the job and the family by altering the priorities of their role of wife, mother, and employee, rather than bargaining with their husband over obligations and responsibilities.

description: Aristotle’s definitions of truth and falsity, on the one hand, and the relational and cognitive account of truth entailed from its transcendental nature, on the other hand, naturally lead later medieval philosophers towards correspondence theories of truth. Nonetheless in the later Middles Ages at least three versions of the correspondence theory (classical, internalist, and externalist) can be found. Thomas Aquinas, in particular, proposed a mixed interpretation, bringing together metaphysical and semantical considerations.

description: The role of domain wall junctions in Carter's pentahedral model is investigated both analytically and numerically. We perform, for the first time, field theory simulations of such model with various initial conditions. We confirm that there are very specific realizations of Carter's model corresponding to square lattice configurations with X-type junctions which could be stable. However, we show that more realistic realizations, consistent with causality constraints, do lead to a scaling domain wall network with Y-type junctions. We determine the network properties and discuss the corresponding cosmological implications, in particular for dark energy.

The document describes these fossils in detail and compares them, in order to try to arrive at a workable solution to understand their taxonomic status. This study is potentially of great importance to develop further understanding of these fossils and their applications in analysis of the limestones in which they occur

description: Randomized shortest paths (RSP) are a tool developed in recent years for different graph and network analysis applications, such as modelling movement or flow in networks. In essence, the RSP framework considers the temperature-dependent Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution over paths in the network. At low temperatures, the distribution focuses solely on the shortest or least-cost paths, while with increasing temperature, the distribution spreads over random walks on the network. Many relevant quantities can be computed conveniently from this distribution, and these often generalize traditional network measures in a sensible way. However, when modelling real phenomena with RSPs, one needs a principled way of estimating the parameters from data. In this work, we develop methods for computing the maximum likelihood estimate of the model parameters, with focus on the temperature parameter, when modelling phenomena based on movement, flow, or spreading processes. We test the validity of the derived methods with trajectories generated on artificial networks as well as with real data on the movement of wild reindeer in a geographic landscape, used for estimating the degree of randomness in the movement of the animals. These examples demonstrate the attractiveness of the RSP framework as a generic model to be used in diverse applications.
Towards a fully consistent Milky Way disc model: Part 1 The local model based on kinematic and photometric data

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a fully consistent evolutionary disc model of the solar cylinder. The model is based on a sequence of stellar sub-populations described by the star formation history (SFR) and the dynamical heating law (given by the age-velocity dispersion relation AVR). The combination of kinematic data from Hipparcos and the finite lifetimes of main sequence (MS) stars enables us to determine the detailed vertical disc structure independent of individual stellar ages and only weakly dependent on the IMF. The disc parameters are determined by applying a sophisticated best fit algorithm to the MS star velocity distribution functions in magnitude bins. We find that the AVR is well constrained by the local kinematics, whereas for the SFR the allowed range is larger. A simple chemical enrichment model is included in order to fit the local metallicity distribution of G dwarfs. In our favoured model A the power law index of the AVR is 0.375 with a minimum and maximum velocity dispersion of 5.1 km/s and 25.0 km/s, respectively. The SFR shows a maximum 10 Gyr ago and declines by a factor of four to the present day value of 1.5 M_sun/pc^2/Gyr. A best fit of the IMF leads to power-law indices of -1.46 below and -4.16 above 1.72 M_sun avoiding a kink at 1 M_sun. An isothermal thick disc component with local density of ~6% of the stellar density is included. A thick disc containing more than 10% of local stellar mass is inconsistent with the local kinematics of K and M dwarfs.

Livy, Book 45 : historical commentary and study of sources
Creators: name: Baronowski, Donald Walter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In Part One the composition of Book 45 of Livy's Ab Urbe Condita is studied and an attempt is made to trace portions of the book to a small number of principal sources. It is demonstrated that Livy used the work of the Greek historian Polybius for his account of Roman activities in the Hellenistic east and for Roman relations with the Hellenistic states. Livy's Latin sources in this book were the Sullan annalists Valerius Antias and Q. Claudius Quadrigarius, of whom Claudius may have been the more prominent. Livy used these late annalists for his account of events in Rome and the west, and for administrative details such as lists of magistrates. This analysis of Livy's work helps us to evaluate the relative worth of his account, since Polybius was generally more reliable than the annalists in his description of affairs in the Hellenistic east, while the annalists seem to have provided an important service by preserving "archival" material in their writings. The detailed commentary on Book 45 appears in Part Two. Although problems of many kinds are treated, the emphasis is on international relations, prosopography, political groups in Rome, chronology and the other traditions which treat the events described by Livy. In Appendix One and Appendix Three an attempt is made to clarify the diplomatic relations of Rome with the Rhodians and with the Ptolemaic kingdom, respectively, during the years 172 - 167. This attempt involves an evaluation and synthesis of a variety of sources belonging to different traditions. The attitude towards the Rhodians reflected in the work of the Roman annalists forms the subject of Appendix Two. In Appendix Four the relations between Rome and the Hellenistic states are considered. The most usual bond between Rome and these states in the second century B. C. seems to have been that of amicitia, a relationship which denoted friendship without clearly defining the terms by which friendly relations were to be maintained. The Romans, however, became more and more insistent that their foreign amici should follow Roman foreign policy much as the Italian socii did. A few Hellenistic states, however, were granted, or were forced to accept, foedera with Rome which imposed upon them obligations similar to those of the Italian socii, but these non-Italian socii of Rome were never fully absorbed into the system of the "Roman alliance".
title: Landscapes before the landscape in ancient Etruscan art
Creators: name: Pontelli, Elena
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2022

description: This thesis approaches the broad field of landscape study from a specialized standpoint, namely by investigating the different ways in which landscape is represented in Etruscan art. In particular, this analysis aims to identify the significance of what we might nowadays refer to as “landscape elements” in the production-fruition systems of Etruscan visual culture. The iconographic analysis presented here shows that landscape features are working material which, employed in relation to other image elements, express specific meanings in the construction of the image. This thesis begins with an historiographical overview of the ways landscape representation has been investigated over time, including by visualizing the relationships and influences between the different disciplines that have approached landscape as a research topic. The core section then considers all kinds of representations of landscape elements (landscape elements that appear isolated within images as well as more structured and coherent ensembles of landscape features) in Etruscan art, from its earliest period to the threshold of Hellenism. The analysis and presentation of images is based on a ‘situational’ categorization (theme/context-based categories) designed to enable transversal readings. Dealing with the multiple ‘landscapes’ that existed before the landscape (aesthetically appreciable as a pictorial theme), entails moving along two different but interconnected paths. On the one hand, we can see landscape features performing different functions in different visual occurrences. On the other hand, from the perspective of an unfolding elaboration of figurative structures, these features can be analyzed as individual signifying structures that were only organized into broader uniform configurations over time.

description: Fragmentation of highly charged molecular ions or clusters consisting of more than two atoms can proceed in an onestep synchronous manner where all bonds break simultaneously or sequentially by emitting one ion after the other. We separated these decay channels for the fragmentation of CO23+ ions by measuring the momenta of the ionic fragments. We show that the total energy deposited in the molecular ion is a control parameter which switches between three distinct fragmentation pathways: the sequential fragmentation in which the emission of an O+ ion leaves a rotating CO2+ ion behind that fragments after a time delay, the Coulomb explosion and an in-between fragmentation - the asynchronous dissociation. These mechanisms are directly distinguishable in Dalitz plots and Newton diagrams of the fragment momenta. The CO23+ ions are produced by multiple electron capture in collisions with 3.2 keV/u Ar8+ ions.

description: We study a process of opinion formation in a population of agents whose interaction pattern is defined on the basis of randomly distributed groups of three agents, or triplets -in contrast to networks, which are defined on the basis of agent pairs. Results for the time needed to reach full consensus are compared between a triplet-based structure with a given number of triplets and a random network with the same number of triangles. The full-consensus time in the triplet structure is systematically lower than in the network. This discrepancy can be ascribed to differences in the shape of the probability distribution for the number of triplets and triangles per agent in each interaction pattern.

description: We discuss how the chemical composition of QCD jets is altered by final state interactions in surrounding nuclear matter. We describe this process through conversions of leading jet particles. We find that conversions lead to an enhancement of kaons at high transverse momentum in Au+Au collisions at RHIC, while their azimuthal asymmetry v_2 is suppressed.

On the X-ray Spectra of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and Soft Gamma Repeaters

description: We revisit the apparent correlation between soft X-ray band photon index and spin-down rate nudot previously reported for Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) by Marsden & White (2001). Our analysis, improved thanks to new source discoveries, better spectral parameter measurements in previously known sources, and the requirement of source quiescence for parameter inclusion, shows evidence for the previously noted trend, although with greater scatter. This trend supports the twisted magnetosphere model of magnetars although the scatter suggests that factors other than nudot are also important. We also note possible correlations involving the spectra of AXPs and SGRs in the hard X-ray band. Specifically, the hard-band photon index shows a possible correlation with inferred nudot and B, as does the degree of spectral turnover. If the former trend is correct, then the hard-band photon index for AXP 1E 1048.1-5937 should be ~0--1. This may be testable with long integrations by INTEGRAL, or by the upcoming focussing hard X-ray mission NuSTAR.

description: Quite recently Philbin et al present new theory of the van der Waals friction at zero temperature. Contrary to the previous theory they claimed that there is no "quantum friction" due to quantum fluctuation of the electromagnetic field between two parallel plates moving relative to each other. We show that this theory is incorrect.

description: Placusa canadensis Klimaszewski, 2001 NOVA SCOTIA: Kings County: North Alton, 2.VI.2005, D.H. Webster, under bark of wind-fallen Populus grandidentat a Michx. (4, DHWC). Placusa canadensis is newly recorded in the Maritime Provinces. In Canada it has been previously recorded in Ontario and Québec; in the United States it is known from Ohio and West Virginia (Klimaszewski et al. 2001). In Québec this species has been found predominantly in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) stands, occasionally in white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) forests. Th ey have been collected from under the bark of recently fallen trees and from rotting fungi and tree stumps (Klimaszewski et al. 2001). Th e specimens in Nova Scotia were found in association with specimens of Carpophilus sayi Parsons [Nitidulidae] (abundant), and Corticeus tenuis (LeConte) [Tenebrionidae] (infrequent) in the same subcortical habitat.

Acrotona subpygmaea

description: Acrotona subpygmaea (Bernhauer, 1909) NOVA SCOTIA: Halifax County: Point Pleasant Park, 20.IX.2001, C.G. Majka, coniferous forest, in bark of dead white pine (1, CGMC). Acrotona subpygmaea is newly recorded in Nova Scotia. In Canada it has been previously recorded in New Brunswick; in the United States there are records from Massachusetts and Indiana (Klimaszewski et al. 2005a). In New Brunswick it was collected in a red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) forest (Klimaszewski et al. 2005a). The status of Acrotona subpygmaea, however, is subject to some question. In most respects it appears to be identical to Acrotona avia (Casey). Th ere is an unresolved problem in determining the status of these two species names in that while all the external and internal structures of both male and female types of A. avia are intact, in the case of the (unpublished) lectotype of A. subpygmaea designated by V. Gusarov, the median lobe of the adeagus of the male is missing and the female syntype has a collapsed spermatheca, making it difficult to determine whether these are distinct species or whether A. avia should be designated as a junior synonym of A. subpygmaea. J. Klimaszewski and collaborators are in the process of revising the eastern Canadian species of the genus Acrotona. Th e present identification should be regarded as tentative, pending this revision.

Master-equation analysis of accelerating networks

description: In many real-world networks, the rates of node and link addition are time dependent. This observation motivates the definition of accelerating networks. There has been relatively little investigation of accelerating networks and previous efforts at analyzing their degree distributions have employed mean-field techniques. By contrast, we show that it is possible to apply a master-equation approach to such network development. We provide full time-dependent expressions for the evolution of the degree distributions for the canonical situations of random and preferential attachment in networks undergoing constant acceleration. These results are in excellent agreement with results obtained from simulations. We note that a growing, non-equilibrium network undergoing constant acceleration with random attachment is equivalent to a classical random graph, bridging the gap between non-equilibrium and classical equilibrium networks.
