Ethno-religious Identities and Cosmopolitan Echoes in John Updike’s ‘Terrorist’ (2006) and Joseph O’Neill’s ‘Netherland’ (2008)
Creators: name: Mansutti, Pamela
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: September 11, Terrorist Attacks; John Updike; Joseph O’Neill; Race; Religion; Cosmopolitanism

description: Far from offering a cohesive representation of ethnic and racialized individuals after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, US recent fiction on this particular subject navigates otherness in many contradictory ways, ranging from the resistance to represent, or even think, alterity in literary forms to the desire of exploring, if not mastering it through characterization. The novels here examined, John Updike’s Terrorist (2006) and Joseph O’Neill’s Netherland (2008), deal with the long-term aftermath of 9/11 rather than shaping its symptomatic repercussions in the days following the attacks. Yet, Updike and O’Neill pick up on the dualisms that run across early post-9/11 America and represent, though in ways that are at largely at odds, the impossibility for (either naturalized or immigrant) ethnic subjects to suture their own identity to the fabric of American society. Theirs are stories of naiveté and exclusion that convey a rather pessimistic vision of multiculturalism in the twenty-first-century US society. In both Updike and O’Neill’s novels, 9/11 has augmented social tensions and racial hatred: on the one hand, mainstream white America appears self-absorbed and depressed, unable to open up fully to the unfit or the different; on the other hand, racialized individuals are depicted in an ambivalent light and are in the end doomed because of their blind and staunch faith, regardless whether it is pinned on Islam or the American dream. This would leave us with a rather bleak picture if it were not for the fact that the “white gazes” that shape the novels cast a benign, sympathetic light on the ethnic characters by turning them into victims of their own intransigence and of even larger systemic forces beyond their control.

Deformation of a free interface pierced by a tilted cylinder

description: We investigate the interaction between an infinite cylinder and a free fluid-fluid interface governed only by its surface tension. We study the deformation of an initially flat interface when it is deformed by the presence of a cylindrical object, tilted at an arbitrary angle, that the interface "totally wets". Our simulations predict all significant quantities such as the interface shape, the position of the contact line, and the force exerted by the interface on the cylinder. These results are compared with an experimental study of the penetration of a soap film by a cylindrical liquid jet. This dynamic situation exhibits all the characteristics of a totally wetting interface. We show that whatever the inclination, the force is always perpendicular to the plane of the interface, and its amplitude diverges as the inclination angle increases. Such results should bring new insights in both fluid and solid mechanics, from animal locomotion to surface micro-processing.-processing.

description: We demonstrate that fermion-boson models with nonlocal interactions can be simulated at finite band filling with the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. We apply this method to explore the influence of the electron-phonon interaction range for a half-filled band in one dimension, covering the full range from the Holstein to the Fröhlich regime. The phase diagram contains metallic, Peierls, and phase-separated regions, which we characterize in terms of static and dynamical correlation functions. In particular, our results reveal a suppression of $2k_F$ charge correlations with increasing interaction range, allowing for a power-law decay comparable to the pairing correlations.

Characterization of hereditary cancer syndromes
Creators: name: Schrader, Kasmintan Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Hereditary cancer syndromes predispose to early-onset or multiple cancers in a person or family, follow Mendelian inheritance patterns and demonstrate stereotyped patterns of tumor development. Genotype-phenotype correlations direct clinical genetic testing and provide guidance for hereditary cancer management. This thesis began by examining the association of lobular breast cancer with germline mutations in CDH1, the gene encoding the epithelial cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin and tested whether CDH1 represented a high-frequency breast cancer susceptibility gene, apart from its association with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. In addition it examined other genotype-phenotype correlations including the association between granular cell tumors and a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome, the specific correlation between a recurrent somatic mutation in a transcription factor and adult-type granulosa cell tumors and the strong association of germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations with high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer. These candidate gene analyses were performed using low-throughput molecular technologies. With the advent of cheaper DNA-sequencing capabilities, the application of these new technologies to novel Mendelian disease gene discovery and hereditary cancer management became the subsequent focus of the thesis. Objectives: To determine the frequency of germline CDH1 mutations in women with lobular breast cancer unselected for familial gastric cancer; to define the associations between several alternative genotype-phenotype correlations; and, to apply next-generation sequencing to determine the basis of a Mendelian disorder, in order to determine its utility as a potential familial cancer gene discovery and clinical tool. Selected Methods: Single amplicon mutation screening and sequence analysis of a large cohort of women with early-onset or familial lobular breast cancer. Next-generation sequencing analysis of a family with multiple individuals cosegregating spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and retinitis pigmentosa. Results: Without a selective history of diffuse gastric cancer, potentially pathogenic germline mutations in CDH1 occured in women with early-onset or hereditary lobular breast cancer in less than two percent of individuals. Diagnosis of a Mucolipidosis type III gamma was possible using new sequencing technologies. Conclusion: There is utility in understanding genotype-phenotype correlations in order to direct genetic testing and novel gene identification. Next-generation sequencing technologies can succesfully be applied to Mendelian disorders with clear phenotypes for gene discovery.
La femme-musulmane et la littérature

description: Representations of Oriental woman have evolved through centuries. Pictured as a sexual object by Orientalists in 18th and 19th centuries, or to serve Arab nationalisms (Tunisia, Algeria) in the 20th century, these images have been reconfigured after 9/11 to justify the War on Terror and to serve the Islamist discourse. Therefore, Muslim women have taken advantage of the media attention after 9/11 to get out of this “in-between” and to become the Muslimwoman (re)claiming their bodies, their desires and their sexuality through literature.

Rebirth of the Nouveau Roman: 9/11 as a Crisis of Confidence in American Literary Aesthetics
Creators: name: Davis Wood, Daniel
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: American literature, post-9/11 fiction, realism, nouveau roman, literary discourse, independent publishing.

description: This article argues that 9/11 created a crisis of confidence amongst writers of American fiction by problematizing literary realism’s claims to verisimiltude and so undermining it as a plausible and credible mode of fiction. Surveying the post-9/11 debate over the merits and shortcomings of realism, this article suggests that the unlikely beneficiary of this crisis of confidence has been the contemporary nouveau roman, a mode of fiction that originates from within the literary traditions of continental Europe. The emergence of writers, publishers, reviewers, and readers attracted to the nouveau roman as a mode of literature in opposition to realism—and engaged in its production, evaluation, promotion, and dissemination—seems to signify a widespread dissatisfaction with the predominant American literary response to the crisis of 9/11. Providing a brief history of the emergence of this post-9/11 institutional support for the nouveau roman, this article contends that the nouveau roman requires a place in literary histories of post-9/11 American fiction even if it does not explicitly address the subject of 9/11 itself.

The sound and the fury: tre sguardi letterari sull’11-S tra rabbia, incredulità e metaletteratura
Creators: name: Cattaneo, Simone
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: 11 settembre 2001; Loriga; Prada; Vila-Matas

description: The aim of the article is to offer three different versions of the 11-S terrorist attacks, showing how Juan Manuel de Prada (Baracaldo, 1970), Ray Loriga (Madrid, 1967) and Enrique Vila-Matas (Barcelona, 1948) reproduce that tragic event in some of their novels – La vida invisible, El hombre que inventó Manhattan and El Mal de Montano – employing different techniques and approaches. In that way it’s possible to recognize in their pages an interesting spectrum of emotions that goes from rage to refined literary reflections. Still, the analysis of these texts, reveals a subtle uniformity imposed by the television screen: in the contemporary society, images captured by cameras contribute to create a mould that influences the reception of reality and thus causes both a stereotyped assimilation and a sceptical critique of media news. As we will see, precisely that last attitude raises in the authors an hopeless hope of being the witnesses of an unreal event, a sort of paradoxical will to be integrated in the society of the spectacle (Debord) as a psichological defense against horror.

description: The paper studies some Italian poems dedicated to the events of September 11th. A connection between formal analysis and application of categories of the cultural studies (orientalism, gender, post-human) reveals some costants in the description of the towers fall. On the formal level, it is possible to identify, in some texts, regular verses and quotations from works of the literary tradition. Some poems focus on the power relations between East and West; other poems go beyond the opposition organic/inorganic or renogotiate the human category by the inclusion of the literary character of the vampire.

Beyond 9/11: Poetics of Transcultural Agency in Contemporary Ethnic American Poetry
Creators: name: Elhayawi, Mavy
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: postmodernism ; post-postmodernism ; Naomi Shihab Nye ; Li-Young Lee ; Transcultural Agency ; Ethnic American Poetry

description: In a post-postmodern world void of exclusive identities, limited localities or hindering cultural borders, and in a period of rapid globalization, massive flows of transmigration, and increasing creation of multinationals, the future of mankind should be envisioned as a shared mission accomplished only through negotiation and reconciliation of contradictory cultural experiences. Yet, moving beyond the entrenched boundaries of national space and overcoming the American-third world mutual hatred and distrust – engrained after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers and America’s war on terrorism – still requires a considerable leap of imagination. Investigating such alternative imagination – which transgresses the narrow borders of place, time and identity, recognizes the dramatic change in the politics of place, understands how there has been both merged and emerged in the characterization of here, views the future as a transcultural treaty that needs to be peacefully negotiated, accepts the limitless boundaries of self-consciousness, and perceives the potentials inherent in the complex interaction and interruption of the other – is the main aim of this paper.

“Iraqi Freedom”: Counterhegemonic Narrations of the Occupation of Iraq from Blogs to Books
Creators: name: Maioli, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: war in Iraq; internet life-narratives; blogs; blog adaptation into books

description: The terrorist attacks of 9/11 made people look at the Web as a source of news and live accounts in an unprecedented way. It was during the subsequent  war on Iraq, however, when most professional journalists were embedded, that the internet finally became an established source of news in terms of news websites and, especially, of a new media merging journalism and life-narrative: blogs.  Several ‘warblogs’ were written by Iraqis in English, providing a view of the war and occupation “from within”, as well as a less prejudiced representation of Iraqis in particular and Muslim communities in general. Some of these ‘authentic’ voices were later absorbed into the mainstream when their war accounts were turned into books and packaged for new audiences. This paper focuses on two female blogs from Iraq, Baghdad Burning by Riverbend and IraqiGirl by HNK, discussing the way new media allow these women to articulate their voices and convey their identities in a way that also challenges dominant narrations of the war and occupation, as well as of Muslim women as passive and victims. While their blog narratives challenge the stereotypical notion of the Arab woman and a specific ‘exoticist’ imaginary, however, in becoming books their blogs are inevitably absorbed into hegemonic representations of Arab women as a consequence of the marketing practices surrounding the book as a consumer good, which are paradoxically promoted by Western ‘liberals’ trying to disseminate a specific counterhegemonic discourse of the war.

9/11 e il terrore: un adattamento grafico di Sid Jacobson e Ernie Colόn

Subjects: memoria; grafic novel; propaganda; parola e immagine; terrore e terrorismo; commissione nazionale sugli attacchi contro gli Stati Uniti

description: The graphic report published in 2006 by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Coln, an adaptation from The 9/11 Report  by the National Commission on terrorist attacks upon the United States, was dedicated “to the memory of those who lost their lives”, hoping that it could help to better understand what happened that day and in the years leading up to it. Thus, using the rhetoric of terror as a guideline, memory seems to be the central aim of a book which longs to be “accessible to all”, in particular, to a new set of readers who could be interested in graphic narration. “Our goal (…) was not only to inform our fellow citizens about history but also to energize and engage them on behalf of reform and change, to make our country safer and more secure”,  so reads the Forward to Jacobson and Coln’s work. But is it true?

title: DEPRECATED: Advanced Magnetic Thin-Film Heads Under Read-While-Write Operation
Creators: name: Wang, Frank Zhigang
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: A Read-While-Write (RWW) operation for tape and/or potentially disk applications is needed in the following three cases: 1. High reliability; 2. Data servo systems; 3. Buried servo systems. All these applications mean that the read (servo) head and write head are operative simultaneously. Consequently, RWW operation will require work to suppress the so-called crossfeed field radiation from the write head. Traditionally, write-read crossfeed has been reduced in conventional magnetic recording heads by a variety of screening methods, but the effectness of these methods is very limited. On the other hand, the early theoretical investigations of the crossfeed problem concentrating on the flux line pattern in front of a head structure based on a simplified model, may not be comprehensive. Today a growing number of magnetic recording equipment manufacturers employ thin-film technology to fabricate heads and thereby the size of the modern head is much smaller than in the past. The increasing use of thin-film metallic magnetic materials for heads, along with the appearance of other new technologies, such as the MR reproductive mode and keepered media, has stimulated the need for an increased understanding of the crossfeed problem by advanced analysis methods and a satisfactory practical solution to achieve the RWW operation. The work described in this thesis to suppress the crossfeed field involves both a novel reproductive mode of a Dual Magnetoresistive (DMR) head, which was originally designed to gain a large reproduce sensitivity at high linear recording densities exceeding 100 kFCI, playing the key role in suppressing the crossfeed (the corresponding signal-noise ratio is over 38 dB), and several other compensation schemes, giving further suppression. Advanced analytical and numerical methods of estimating crossfeed in single and multi track thin-film/MR heads under both DC and AC excitations can often help a head designer understand how the crossfeed field spreads and therefore how to suppress the crossfeed field from the standpoint of an overall head configuration. This work also assesses the scale of the crossfeed problem by making measurements on current and improved heads, thereby adapting the main contributors to crossfeed. The relevance of this work to the computer industry is clear for achieving simultaneous operation of the read head and write head, especially in a thin-film head assembly. This is because computer data rates must increase to meet the demands of storing more and more information in less time as computer graphics packages become more sophisticated.
My City of Ruins: Bruce Springsteen e l’utopia fra le rovine
Creators: name: Botta, Enrico
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: Bruce Springsteen; My City of Ruins; The Rising;

description: The paper focuses on My City of Ruins, the song that Bruce Springsteen sang—ten days after the 09/11 terrorist attacks—for "America: A Tribute to Heroes" and that was released in the concept album The Rising in 2002. The essay aims to highlight how the song describes the post 09/11 New York City by opposing the themes of “ruins” and “utopia.” From a textual and musical point of view, My City of Ruins is, in fact, composed of a double structure that balances different feelings: the fear, pain, and loneliness of the victims, in the rock-blues first section; the faith, love, and hope, in the gospel second part. Furthermore, the paper tries to point out how My City of Ruins no longer describes the symbolic ruins of a foreign past—in line with the nineteenth and twentieth-century American cultural tradition of the Grand Tour—but defines the physical signs of a definitively collapsed “American dream,” which can survive only in a utopian and spiritual “Promised Land.”

Ground Zero/Fresh Kills: Cataloguing Ruins, Garbage, and Memory

Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: Ground Zero, Fresh Kills, cataloghi

description: The aim of this paper is to show how the rise and fall of the Twin Towers can be read in relation to the rise and fall of the Staten Island Fresh Kills landfill, how their destinies were entwined from the start, and how the immediate cultural response to the collapse of the former and the closing of the latter recurred to the form of catalogues of objects, words, and images. From this angle it will be possible to posit the events within a larger, if somewhat unusual, cultural frame encompassing the history of two different yet complementary symbols of New York up to 2001 (the WTC and Fresh Kills). From Don DeLillo’s Underworld (1997) and Falling Man (2007) through Holman, Steve Zeitlin e Joe Dobkin’s Crisis (2001-2002); from Art Spiegelman’s In the Shadows of No Tower (2004) to Artists Respond’s 9-11 (2002); from the New York Times to Bearing Witness to History, the 2003-2006 retrospective of the Smithsonian Museum, relevant collective or individual responses to the 2001 attacks took the form of a catalogue, a list, a vertical or horizontal juxtaposition of data, objects, and memories, evoking a suggestive parallel to the organizing principle of past relics collected in museums and garbage stratified in sanitary landfills.

The Anderson localization in such structures demonstrates nonreciprocal features in the averaged localization length and individual transmission resonances. We employ short-wavelength approximation where the localization effects are strong, and consider both the Faraday and Voigt magnetooptical geometries. In the Faraday geometry, the transmission is strongly nonreciprocal for the circularly polarized waves, whereas in the Voigt geometry, the nonreciprocity is much weaker, and it may appear only for the individual transmission resonances of the TM-polarized waves.

title: Deep Neural Archives: Artificially Augmented Design in Historic Environments
Creators: name: Katsangelou, Smaro
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: Physical architecture archives have been an integral part of architectural practice since the nineteenth century. In Northern Greece, the historic center of Thessaloniki was destroyed by a fire in 1917. This event resulted in a vast urban regeneration plan and process that called for quick and efficient reconstruction of the city. The architecture archive left behind documenting the dynamic and rapid development of the city has been explored and analyzed by architecture historians for many decades. Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, and specifically in deep neural networks, have paved the way for exploring this data under a new, artificially augmented light. One can theorize that archives constitute the predecessors of big data, as they were used by humans to store and safeguard information of importance. The architecture archive of Thessaloniki’s historic center is used in this research as a dataset for generative AI algorithms to explore the latent space of the city’s architectural style and vocabulary. Urban design policies and legislation introduced in the 1960s enabled the demolition of many historic buildings in favor of greater residential density and higher buildings. Ultimately, the image of the city appears fragmented and incoherent due to consecutive urban transformation plans. An artificially augmented approach to redesigning parts of the city can bridge the city’s Ottoman, eclectic, and Art Deco heritage with the demands of contemporary urban life. The research explores the city’s mid-war architecture archive as the primary dataset to assess how new technologies and different deep neural networks can reinterpret architectural heritage. The experiments conducted with the mid-war archive of Thessaloniki can possibly serve as the training dataset for a pre-trained model, which can then be used with different architectural archives as potential datasets.
Electrophysiological and motoric effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation in normal and Parkinson's disease subjects
Creators: name: Kim, Diana Jean-Young
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: How vestibular input influences dynamical functional brain networks and sensorimotor processing is an unaddressed area of interest. Previous accounts have suggested that noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation is able to not only improve visuospatial processing in stroke patients, but also ameliorates some of the motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. However, the mechanisms through which these purported benefits are obtained are currently poorly understood. In Parkinson’s disease, patients suffer from symptoms of bradykinesia, or slowness of movement, as well as tremor, rigidity, postural instability and cognitive impairment. A proposed mechanism for bradykinesia is that in Parkinson’s disease cortical-basal ganglia-thalamocortical networks are “stuck” in a fixed state, resulting in poorly modulated, exaggerated oscillations resonating in the beta range (13-30 Hz). This thesis addresses a number of questions: What is the effect of external vestibular sensory input on widespread, systems-level oscillatory rhythms? When the brain is in a diseased state, as in Parkinson’s disease, can vestibular input modulate the abnormal dynamics of cortical-basal ganglia networks? Furthermore, is noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation consequently able to affect functional networks and information processing in the brain? Specifically, we investigated whether noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation was able to modulate synchrony of EEG oscillations in normal individuals and Parkinson’s disease subjects. Upon identifying significant neuromodulatory effects of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation across broadband rhythms in the resting-state EEG activity, we speculated that information processing may be similarly affected in task-related networks in Parkinson’s disease. Subsequently, we investigated whether the same noisy vestibular stimulus would be able to improve motor performance in Parkinson’s disease subjects. We found that their dynamics of motor tracking movements were improved in a visuomotor task by stimulation. We speculate that noisy vestibular stimulation is able to reinstate the abnormal dynamics of functional networks in disease conditions. Therefore, this thesis provides a foundation for assessing the potential utility of galvanic vestibular stimulation as a novel, non-invasive, neuromodulatory therapeutic for Parkinson’s disease.

description: We present the first calculations of next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N 4 LO) contributions to anomalous dimensions of spin- N twist-2 operators in perturbative QCD. Specifically, we have obtained the respective non-singlet quark–quark anomalous dimensions at N=2 and N=3 to the fifth order in the strong coupling αs . These results set the scale for the N 4 LO contributions to the evolution of the non-singlet quark distributions of hadrons outside the small- x region, and facilitate a first approximate determination of the five-loop cusp anomalous dimension. While the N 4 LO coefficients are larger than expected from the lower-order results, their inclusion stabilizes the perturbative expansions for three or more light flavours at a sub-percent accuracy for αs<0.3 .

description: We consider the vertex function of two vector and one axial-vector currents using the soft-wall holographic model of QCD with the Chern-Simons term. Two structure functions $w_L$ and $w_T$ describe such a vertex in the special case in which one of the two vector currents corresponds to an on-shell soft photon. We briefly review the QCD results for these functions, obtained from triangular loop diagrams with quarks having mass $m_q=0$ or $m_q \neq 0$, we compute $w_L$ and $w_T$ in the soft-wall model and compare the outcome to the QCD findings. We also calculate and discuss the two-point $Π_{VV}-Π_{AA}$ correlation function, together with a few low-energy constants, which turn out to be close to the QCD results.

description: The ablative management of atrial fibrillation, despite a number of landmark discoveries, remains one of the most challenging fields in interventional electrophysiology. It is generally accepted that successful isolation of the pulmonary veins is a highly effective way of managing paroxysmal forms of AF. However, despite almost a decade of research into alternative lesion patterns, the solution to persistent AF remains beyond our grasp. A variety of strategies have been proposed to target key areas in the atria; these use various complex mapping systems, usually based on tailored lesion sets to try and improve outcomes. None have proven to be the golden bullet. We have investigated the role of a lesion set intended to alter the electrical properties of the posterior wall of the left atrium. Commonly known as the ‘box-set’, this pattern has shown promise in early studies and may provide some key insights into future developments. Surgical ablation using the Epicor system aims to deliver the box-set lesion, outcomes have previously been documented but each series has its limitations. In our series, very late outcomes are reported to show an 80% freedom from AF rate in patients with paroxysmal AF pre-operatively and only 20% in those with long-standing persistent forms. The reason behind this dramatic variation is explored through the invasive electrophysiologal assessment of both successful and unsuccessful cases. We report a clear correlation between the successful isolation of the posterior wall and long-term freedom from AF. Though surgical ablation may be an acceptable approach for some, the ultimate goal is a lesion set that can be delivered purely endocardially. We explore the outcome of one such empirical pattern based on the box-set concept delivered through linear catheter technology and report outcomes broadly similar to alternative patterns.

description: We study the photon generation from arbitrary initial state in cavity QED due to the combined action of the anti-rotating term present in the Rabi Hamiltonian and Lindblad-type dephasing. We obtain a simple set of differential equations describing this process and deduce useful formulae for the moments of the photon number operator, demonstrating analytically that the average photon number increases linearly with time in the asymptotic limit.

CP violating triple product asymmetry in charm decays
Creators: name: Bahinipati, Seema
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: CP violation asymmetry is expected to be very small within the Standard Model. Observation of CP violation in charm sector would hint towards New Physics. Time-reversal asymmetry is sensitive to CPV via the CPT Theorem, and is a clean and alternative way to search for CP violation in charm decays. This is achieved by the use of triple-product correlations in 4-body charm meson decays. The results from previous searches at BaBar and LHCb Collaborations and the latest results from Belle are reported. The most recent result from Belle performed in $D^{0} \to K^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays using kinematic asymmetry variables is the first measurement of its kind.

description: Smoothed functional (SF) schemes for gradient estimation are known to be efficient in stochastic optimization algorithms, specially when the objective is to improve the performance of a stochastic system. However, the performance of these methods depends on several parameters, such as the choice of a suitable smoothing kernel. Different kernels have been studied in literature, which include Gaussian, Cauchy and uniform distributions among others. This paper studies a new class of kernels based on the q-Gaussian distribution, that has gained popularity in statistical physics over the last decade. Though the importance of this family of distributions is attributed to its ability to generalize the Gaussian distribution, we observe that this class encompasses almost all existing smoothing kernels. This motivates us to study SF schemes for gradient estimation using the q-Gaussian distribution. Using the derived gradient estimates, we propose two-timescale algorithms for optimization of a stochastic objective function in a constrained setting with projected gradient search approach. We prove the convergence of our algorithms to the set of stationary points of an associated ODE. We also demonstrate their performance numerically through simulations on a queuing model.

Επιπεφυκότας

description: Ο επιπεφυκότας αποτελεί έναν από τους ιστούς του ανθρώπινου οφθαλμού με κρίσιμες λειτουργίες για την οφθαλμική υγεία και λειτουργία. Ο επιπεφυκότας μεταξύ των πολλών ιδιοτήτων του, προστατεύει την οφθαλμική επιφάνεια, βοηθάει τόσο στις μεταβολικές ανάγκες όσο και στην ανάπλαση του επιθήλιου του κερατοειδούς. Η επιπεφυκίτιδα είναι η φλεγμονή του επιπεφυκοτικού ιστού η οποία προκύπτει μετά από επαφή με κάποιο αλλεργιογόνο, ερεθιστικό παράγοντα, μολυσματική πηγή (όπως ιοί και βακτήρια),κ.α. Η επιπεφυκίτιδα είναι μια πάθηση με ιδιαίτερα καλή πρόγνωση στη πλειονότητα των περιστατικών και αρκετά συχνά αντιμετωπίζεται από επαγγελματίες υγείας όπως οι γενικοί ιατροί και οι φαρμακοποιοί και όχι από οπτικούς – οπτομέτρες και οφθαλμιάτρους
Operational understanding of the covariance of classical electrodynamics

description: It is common in the literature on classical electrodynamics and relativity theory that the transformation rules for the basic electrodynamic quantities are derived from the pre-assumption that the equations of electrodynamics are covariant against these---unknown---transformation rules. There are several problems to be raised concerning these derivations. This is, however, not our main concern in this paper. Even if these derivations are regarded as unquestionable, they leave open the following fundamental question: Are the so-obtained transformation rules indeed identical with the true transformation laws of the empirically ascertained electrodynamic quantities? This is of course an empirical question. In this paper, we will answer this question in a purely theoretical framework by applying what J. S. Bell calls "Lorentzian pedagogy"---according to which the laws of physics in any one reference frame account for all physical phenomena, including what a moving observer must see when performs measurement operations with moving measuring devices. We will show that the real transformation laws are indeed identical with the ones obtained by presuming the covariance of the equations of electrodynamics, and that the covariance is indeed satisfied. Beforehand, however, we need to clarify the operational definitions of the fundamental electrodynamic quantities. As we will see, these semantic issues are not as trivial as one might think.

description: The current emission noise of a carbon nanotube quantum dot in the Kondo regime is measured at frequencies $ν$ of the order or higher than the frequency associated with the Kondo effect $k_B T_K/h$, with $T_K$ the Kondo temperature. The carbon nanotube is coupled via an on-chip resonant circuit to a quantum noise detector, a superconductor-insulator-superconductor junction. We find for $h ν\approx k_B T_K$ a Kondo effect related singularity at a voltage bias $eV \approx h ν$, and a strong reduction of this singularity for $h ν\approx 3 k_B T_K$, in good agreement with theory. Our experiment constitutes a new original tool for the investigation of the non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body phenomena in nanoscale devices.
