description: The actual research deals with determining by a new protocol the necessary parameters considering a three-dimensional model to simulate in a realistic way the turning process on machine tool. This paper is dedicated to the experimental displacements analysis of the block tool / block workpiece with self-excited vibrations. In connexion with turning process, the self-excited vibrations domain is obtained starting from spectra of two accelerometers. The existence of a displacements plane attached to the tool edge point is revealed. This plane proves to be inclined compared to the machines tool axes. We establish that the tool tip point describes an ellipse. This ellipse is very small and can be considered as a small straight line segment for the stable cutting process (without vibrations). In unstable mode (with vibrations) the ellipse of displacements is really more visible. A difference in phase occurs between the tool tip displacements on the radial direction and on the cutting one. The feed motion direction and the cutting one are almost in phase. The values of the long and small ellipse axes (and their ratio) shows that these sizes are increasing with the feed rate value. The axis that goes through the stiffness center and the tool tip represents the maximum stiffness direction. The maximum (resp. minimum) stiffness axis of the tool is perpendicular to the large (resp. small) ellipse displacements axis. FFT analysis of the accelerometers signals allows to reach several important parameters and establish coherent correlations between tool tip displacements and the static - elastic characteristics of the machine tool components tested.

description: Der er udviklet en online webtjeneste, som ud fra kontinuerte støjmålinger langs en vejstrækning kombine-ret med beregninger kan vise et dynamisk kort med vejstøjens udbredelse i naboområdet. Der kan ligeledes vises kort over de afledte effekter af støjen, herunder gener og forskellige former for helbredsrisici. Kortene over gene og helbredsrisici genereres ved at koble støjberegningsresultaterne med den nyeste forskning indenfor støjens helbredseffekter. I denne artikel præsenteres metoden, og der vises eksempel på brugerflade og mulige brugssituationer. Brugere af dette system kan være medarbejdere i kommunernes miljø- og planafdelinger, beslutningsta-gere og borgere. Arbejdet med at udvikle dynamiske støjkort er foretaget i samarbejde med SoundEAR.

description: We assess the validity of a single step Godunov scheme for the solution of the magneto-hydrodynamics equations in more than one dimension. The scheme is second-order accurate and the temporal discretization is based on the dimensionally unsplit Corner Transport Upwind (CTU) method of Colella. The proposed scheme employs a cell-centered representation of the primary fluid variables (including magnetic field) and conserves mass, momentum, magnetic induction and energy. A variant of the scheme, which breaks momentum and energy conservation, is also considered. Divergence errors are transported out of the domain and damped using the mixed hyperbolic/parabolic divergence cleaning technique by Dedner et al. (J. Comput. Phys., 175, 2002). The strength and accuracy of the scheme are verified by a direct comparison with the eight-wave formulation (also employing a cell-centered representation) and with the popular constrained transport method, where magnetic field components retain a staggered collocation inside the computational cell. Results obtained from two- and three-dimensional test problems indicate that the newly proposed scheme is robust, accurate and competitive with recent implementations of the constrained transport method while being considerably easier to implement in existing hydro codes.

description: This thesis has been prepared for the interuniversity postgraduate program in Health Care Management and Health Care Informatics. Its purpose is to study the current situation of Pandemic Response Information Systems and to make suggestions for the improvement of the situation by creating a Single Pandemic Response Information System. In the first chapter, the needs and challenges of Health Information Systems are mentioned and a brief analysis of the situation which exists at the global and Greek level is presented. In the second chapter, a bibliographic review is made regarding Health Information Systems for Pandemic Response at the global and Greek level and there is a comparative study of them. The third chapter presents the case studies of three Greek Pandemic Response Information Systems: covid19.gov.gr, the Vaccination Appointment System and the Vaccination Certificates in Digital Form. Furthermore, the fourth chapter presents the pilot design of an Integrated Pandemic Response System at the Greek level. The need for a single system, as well as its requirements, emerges based on the analysis of the questionnaires completed by ordinary users and by professional users of the Pandemic Response Information Systems. In the fifth and last chapter, the conclusions, challenges, limitations and future goals of the thesis are mentioned.

description: Purpose: Adherence to airway clearance therapy (ACT) among individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) is often inconsistent. This study aims to explore the perceptions of adults with CF regarding their experiences with ACT and what influences their selection of specific ACTs. Findings may help inform clinician approaches to patient care and ACT. Materials and Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using individual, semi-structured interviews. Eight participants [six male and two female, median (min–max) age 42.5 (27–52)] were purposively recruited from the Toronto Adult CF Centre at St. Michael’s Hospital, Unity Health Toronto. Results: Four key themes were generated from participants’ accounts. First, they described the intensive nature of CF self-management and its influence on their perceptions and selection of ACT techniques. Second, they emphasized the importance of healthcare professional guidance in treatment decisions. Third, physical health status, exercise, and CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy also shaped participants’ self-management approaches. Lastly, their social context influenced how they navigated self-management, which evolved over time. Conclusion: This study shows that ACT technique selection is influenced by various evolving needs across the lifespan. Understanding the role that patient experiences play in ACT technique selection may help clinicians personalize recommendations and promote patient-centred care.

description: A quasi-black hole, either non-extremal or extremal, can be broadly defined as the limiting configuration of a body when its boundary approaches the body's quasihorizon. We consider the mass contributions and the mass formula for a static quasi-black hole. The analysis involves careful scrutiny of the surface stresses when the limiting configuration is reached. It is shown that there exists a strict correspondence between the mass formulas for quasi-black holes and pure black holes. This perfect parallelism exists in spite of the difference in derivation and meaning of the formulas in both cases. For extremal quasi-black holes the finite surface stresses give zero contribution to the total mass. This leads to a very special version of Abraham-Lorentz electron in general relativity in which the total mass has pure electromagnetic origin in spite of the presence of bare stresses.

description: The Y.T. Lee Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA) started scientific operation in early 2007. This work describes the optimization of the system performance for the measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect for six massive galaxy clusters at redshifts $0.09 - 0.32$. We achieved a point source sensitivity of $63\pm 7$ mJy with the seven 0.6m dishes in 1 hour of on-source integration in 2-patch differencing observations. We measured and compensated for the delays between the antennas of our platform-mounted interferometer. Beam switching was used to cancel instrumental instabilities and ground pick up. Total power and phase stability were good on time scales of hours, and the system was shown to integrate down on equivalent timescales of 300 hours per baseline/correlation, or about 10 hours for the entire array. While the broadband correlator leads to good sensitivity, the small number of lags in the correlator resulted in poorly measured bandpass response. We corrected for this by using external calibrators (Jupiter and Saturn). Using Jupiter as the flux standard, we measured the disk brightness temperature of Saturn to be $149^{+5}_{-12}$ K.

description: Although there is great fluctuation in annual recordings of jellyfish along the Moroccan Mediterranean coast and an absence of long-term datasets, there is a common perception that jellyfish numbers are rising. To better understand the possible economic losses sustained by Moroccan fisheries caused by the effects of jellyfish, we undertook a survey among fishers at the Atlantic port of Tangier and the Mediterranean port of M’diq. We focused on fishers’ perceptions about jellyfish blooms in Moroccan waters and whether and how blooms affect their fishing activities. Our findings confirm that blooms have negatively affected fishing activities over the past decade in the Moroccan Mediterranean, but that the degree of impact varies considerably by fishery and location. Of the total respondents at M’diq, 86% reported that jellyfish reduced their seasonal revenue. The species mainly responsible for these losses were Pelagia noctiluca, followed by Rhizostoma pulmo and Chrysaora hysoscella. The annual direct damage caused by jellyfish has been estimated to be as high as US$3.26 million per year for the fleet at the port of M’diq. When jellyfish outbreaks occur, fishers must spend time repairing nets damaged by jellyfish, which adds more than 1 783 person-hours of work per year.
Probabilistic representation for solutions of an irregular porous media type equation: the degenerate case

description: We consider a possibly degenerate porous media type equation over all of $\R^d$ with $d = 1$, with monotone discontinuous coefficients with linear growth and prove a probabilistic representation of its solution in terms of an associated microscopic diffusion. This equation is motivated by some singular behaviour arising in complex self-organized critical systems. The main idea consists in approximating the equation by equations with monotone non-degenerate coefficients and deriving some new analytical properties of the solution.

description: Data Assimilation: From an Eventful Past to a Bright Future Michael Ghil, Ecole Normale Supérieure and PSL University, Paris, France, and University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA Vilhelm Bjerknes first described weather prediction as an initial-value problem in 1904. As John von Neumann and associates started using computers to implement this idea immediately after World War II, it quickly became apparent that the requisite initial data available then were incomplete. The appearance of weather satellites in the 1960s led further on to the concept of time-continuous assimilation of remote-sensing data. Nowadays, data assimilation (DA) is being applied across all the areas of the climate sciences and much beyond. This presentation traces the evolution of DA methodology from the successive corrections and polynomial interpolation of the beginnings through the development of sequential-estimation (“Kalman filtering”) and control-theoretical (“variational” or “adjoint”) methods to today’s machine-learning–aided methods. Key concepts, such as information transfer between variables and between regions, as well as parameter estimation and new areas of applications are emphasized. Cutting-edge developments covered in the presentation touch upon the application of concepts and tools from non-autonomous and random dynamical systems theory, as well as upon combining machine learning with DA and with knowledge-based models for weather and climate prediction.

description: When we saw that the Stranger, Seattle’s alternative newspaper, was running a survey on kinks and sexual preferences, we knew we had to get our hands on the data. We convinced the that using machine learning methods on the responses would be a good idea, and then we quickly set out to analyzing them. But we had never written an article for a newspaper before—nor had we worked with data even remotely as dirty. It turns out what makes for a good blog post or technical journal is very different than writing for print, especially for such a sensitive topic. In this talk we will cover how we made sense of the lewd data, the statistical methods we used (and failures we produced), as well as the final results that ended up in our feature article: “There Are Four Kinds of Sex Partners (which one are you).”

description: Co-words have been considered as carriers of meaning across different domains in studies of science, technology, and society. Words and co-words, however, obtain meaning in sentences, and sentences obtain meaning in their contexts of use. At the science/society interface, words can be expected to have different meanings: the codes of communication that provide meaning to words differ on the varying sides of the interface. Furthermore, meanings and interfaces may change over time. Given this structuring of meaning across interfaces and over time, we distinguish between metaphors and diaphors as reflexive mechanisms that facilitate the translation between contexts. Our empirical focus is on three recent scientific controversies: Monarch butterflies, Frankenfoods, and stem-cell therapies. This study explores new avenues that relate the study of co-word analysis in context with the sociological quest for the analysis and processing of meaning.

description: Ecosystem status assessments are generally separated into realm-specific analyses (terrestrial, freshwater, estuarine or marine), but without integrating these into a coherent assessment of coastal biodiversity across the land–sea interface. Trends in assessment indicators in coastal versus non-coastal areas have also rarely been considered. In this study we aimed to compile the first cross-realm national biodiversity assessment for the South African coast using three key indicators. The ecological condition, ecosystem threat status, and ecosystem protection level of coastal ecosystem types (n = 186) were determined and compared with those of non-coastal ecosystem types (n = 444). Nearly half (46.9%) of the South African coastal habitat has been degraded compared with 20% of non-coastal areas. Proportionately, there are three-times (60%) as many threatened coastal ecosystem types (or 55% by area) as there are threatened non-coastal ecosystem types (19%, 6% by area). Despite the impacted state of coastal biodiversity, protection levels are generally higher in the coastal zone (87% of ecosystem types have some protection) compared with non-coastal areas (75%), although fewer coastal ecosystem types have met their biodiversity targets (24%, vs 28% for non-coastal ecosystem types). These results illustrate the importance of using a cross-realm approach for status assessments, management and conservation of coastal biodiversity. The assessment methods described are flexible and widely applicable to other regions.
Measuring the knowledge base of regional innovation systems in Germany in terms of a Triple Helix dynamics

description: The interaction among the three sub-dynamics of economic exchange, technological innovation, and institutional control can be captured with a generalized Triple Helix model. We propose to use the information contained in the configuration among the three sub-dynamics as an indicator of the synergy in a configuration. This measure indicates the reduction of the uncertainty which prevails at the level of an innovation system. On the basis of data at the district level in Germany, the conclusions of a previous study about the Netherlands are tested: medium-tech manufacturing is the main driver of the knowledge-based configuration in a regional economy, while knowledge-intensive services tend to uncouple the economy from the regional configuration. At the level of regions (NUTS-2) Germany's knowledge-based economy is no longer structured in terms of the previous East-West divide of the country, while this divide has prevailed at the level of the states (NUTS-1) that constitute the Federal Republic. However, the effects of high and medium-tech are not specific for the western or eastern parts of the country. The configuration of medium-tech manufacturing can be considered a better indicator of the knowledge-based economy than that of high-tech manufacturing.

Pulsione Prometeica e Narcisismo: Aberrazione Ontologica e Autodistruzione
Creators: name: PsykoSapiens

Year: 2025

description: Il testo esplora la convergenza tra il mito di Prometeo e il narcisismo patologico, mettendo in luce la comune tensione verso la trascendenza e il rifiuto del limite come elemento strutturante dell’essere. La pulsione prometeica rappresenta l’impulso umano al dominio della natura, mentre il narcisismo patologico incarna una stagnazione autodistruttiva, in cui il limite viene percepito come ostacolo anziché fondamento ontologico. Attraverso un’analisi critica, lo studio indaga il paradosso di controllo e autodistruzione condiviso da queste due dinamiche, evidenziando come il riconoscimento del limite possa rappresentare la chiave per una trascendenza autentica e una maturazione evolutiva.

description: We study the gravitational behaviour of a spherically symmetric radiating star when the fluid particles are in geodesic motion. We transform the governing equation into a simpler form which allows for a general analytic treatment. We find that Bernoulli, Riccati and confluent hypergeometric equations are possible. These admit solutions in terms of elementary functions and special functions. Particular models contain the Minkowski spacetime and the Friedmann dust spacetime as limiting cases. Our infinite family of solutions contains specific models found previously. For a particular metric we briefly investigate the physical features, derive the temperature profiles and plot the behaviour of the casual and acasual temperatures.

description: The missing fluctuations problem in cosmic microwave background observations is naturally explained by well-proportioned small universe models. Among the well-proportioned models, the Poincare dodecahedral space is empirically favoured. Does gravity favour this space? The residual gravity effect is the residual acceleration induced by weak limit gravity from multiple topological images of a massive object on a nearby negligible mass test object. At the present epoch, the residual gravity effect is about a million times weaker in three of the well-proportioned spaces than in ill-proportioned spaces. However, in the Poincare space, the effect is 10,000 times weaker still, i.e. the Poincare space is about 10^{10} times "better balanced" than ill-proportioned spaces. Both observations and weak limit dynamics select the Poincare space to be special.

description: This work introduces a novel procedure to fit the scattering features of XANES spectra. The procedure was applied and validated on a chromium containing muscovite for which structural and crystal chemical characterization is available from literature. The simulation, which involved clusters formed by up to 90 atoms, proved to be effective in representing the Cr local environment, even if the system is characterized by a very low metal content, as demonstrated by the extremely good correspondence with experimental data

description: What if we could start all over again? Knowing what we know now, about the needs for research and the opportunities to improve the human condition, about the power of the Internet, and about the importance of the global village, what would we want publishing to look like? How would we use instant online sharing? How would we tap into experts in other corners of the globe? How would we design a system that truly accelerates discovery for the benefit of everyone? This talk will offer a modern take on research communication and publishing, and aims to inspire the Adelphi campus community to take just a few actions to help us get there.

description: Contemporary spaces dedicated to nightlife have always been intrinsically tied to Black, queer, gender-expansive conceptualizations of embodied liberation. Electronic dance music, in particular, and the accompanying cultures and communities are also tethered to Black liberation. Rooted in a simultaneous process of addressing the material conditions of intersectional disenfranchisement and escape from contemporary social politics in the pursuit of a "scrutable and safe" future (Tracy K. Smith, Sci-Fi), electronic dance music--and more broadly, nightlife--are potent sites of inquiry into the role identity plays in art creation. This writer's memo accompanies a produced soundscape that features live mixing and a conversation-based interview with Berlin-based musician Shaw Cain Hawkins on the potential nightlife spaces offer in promoting self-embodiment, uninhibited self-expression, and "the fantasy"--the idealized versions of the self. This soundscape is still in progress, although a version for this course has been attached here. I plan on continuing to interview artists, expand the sound scape, and eventually hold a public listening event towards the end of the school year.

description: Compton scattering is involved in many astrophysical situations. It is well known and has been studied in detail for the past fifty years. Exact formulae for the different cross sections are often complex, and essentially asymptotic expressions have been used in the past. Numerical capabilities have now developed to a point where they enable the direct use of exact formulae in sophisticated codes that deal with all kinds of interactions in plasmas. Although the numerical computation of the Compton cross section is simple in principle, its practical evaluation is often prone to accuracy issues. These can be severe in some astrophysical situations but are often not addressed properly. In this paper we investigate numerical issues related to the computation of the Compton scattering contribution to the time evolution of interacting photon and particle populations. An exact form of the isotropic Compton cross section free of numerical cancellations is derived. Its accuracy is investigated and compared to other formulae. Then, several methods to solve the kinetic equations using this cross section are studied. The regimes where existing cross sections can be evaluated numerically are given. We find that the cross section derived here allows for accurate and fast numerical evaluation for any photon and electron energy. The most efficient way to solve the kinetic equations is a method combining a direct integration of the cross section over the photon and particle distributions and a Fokker-Planck approximation. Expressions describing this combination are given.

Ikhʋnachi Aiyʋmohmi: Teaching is Tradition - Uncovering Indigenous Curriculum & Pedagogy Within Language Revitalization

subject: Indigenous peoples--Education

subject: Choctaw Indians
subject: Chickasaw Indians

description: Traditional methodological approaches to language revitalization include methods used within Indigenous communities to teach their heritage language using strategies and tactics unique to their community. For instance, my pokni (grandmother) spoke to the influence active learning methods such as singing had on her Choctaw language development. Traditionally, singing played a large role in Choctaw culture, used on multiple occasions, such as various ceremonies, dances, and times of hardship. My pokni described the way in which Choctaw songs are sung very slowly, in such a way that each syllable is clearly articulated, allowing for an individual to really hear the root sounds of the language. Singing traditional hymns creates a learning environment where one is exposed to common words and phrases in the language within a medium in which the language is heard in a repetitive and slow fashion. And for someone like my pokni who learned Choctaw entirely through oral practices, this one method of language acquisition speaks to a larger understanding of Choctaw's oral methodology of language learning and teaching.
Language revitalization work comes in the form of connecting Native peoples to the culture and knowledge of their respective Indigenous backgrounds through the exploration of their Native languages. As tribes and other Indigenous communities attempt to retain their languages and reclaim their cultural sovereignty, these communities have developed many forms of curriculum and programming rooted in ancestral knowledge and values systems that are consistent with recognizing the pedagogical strengths within Native cultures. In this handbook, I will cover the curriculum present in current language revitalization efforts, how tribal values are centered in this work, and how these efforts leverage community interest to ensure language acquisition. These sources reviewed serve as a body of knowledge to help language revitalists understand how Native language curricula can be developed within culturally-sustaining methodologies.
KINSHIP AND SEVERANCE: RECONCILING FRACTURED HISTORIES AND REIMAGINING A TRANSNATIONAL KOREAN DIASPORA

description: Central to this creative synthesis project are the experiences and imaginations of Korean diaspora populations and how they conceptualize notions of kinship and severance — both amongst each other and in relation to some form of Korean identity. Within the context of this project, kinship and severance operate as two seemingly oppositional, but interconnected themes – interacting with one another through complex histories of war, solidarity, division, and diaspora. Though scholars of diaspora studies have long explored themes of kinship and severance in application to various populations throughout the globe, this project sources from original interviews with members of the Korean diaspora to formulate original definitions of these themes. As such, this project defines kinship as a sensation of unity and connection within communities, often derived from the intimacies of shared history and ongoing reconciliation. Conversely, severance can be understood as a feeling of separation and/or deprivation from a perceived identity, community, physical space or land, and an existence of self determination. Historical research and data from qualitative interviews frame these notions of kinship and severance as existing simultaneously within both Korean histories and contemporary realities. From the collective experiences of imperial violence and colonial struggle, thus connoting kinship by way of shared experiences of severance, to the subsequent fracturing of the Korean diaspora that has simultaneously generated new opportunities for community formation and transnational solidarity, Korean people across the globe appear tethered to these themes and sensations, with this array of experiences yet to be fully reconciled or explored.

In dissecting these themes, this project further adopts somewhat of a temporal analysis: bridging connections between Korean histories, contemporary experiences of Korean diaspora peoples, and imagined futures of a healed Korean people by way of family reconnection and reunification of the peninsula. Consistent with this analysis, this project explores a series of research questions:

1) How do Korean diaspora peoples navigate notions of kinship and severance in their personal and familial conception of a Korean diasporic identity?

2) In what ways do kinship and severance play a signicant role in the historical movement of Korean peoples, as well as the subsequent formation of a multi-dimensional Korean diasporic identity?
