Becoming nomadic, becoming woman : minoritarian becomings in the Deleuzian theater
Creators: name: Spiegel, Jennifer B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari claim that within contemporary Western society, every movement beyond the normative must pass through the stage of "becomingwoman," Woman being the dominant "other" against which the masculine political majority has defined its self-image. Becoming-Woman acts as the entryway into a nomadic theatre in so far as it indicates a willingness to inhabit positions and perspectives other than those delineated as normatively powerful and to develop according to these alternative desires. "Becoming Woman" does not, however, represent an end in itself, but plays an introductory role that may facilitate a potentially infinite number of minoritarian "becomings." Ultimately, this nomadic theatre seeks to destabilize the stronghold that identity-based thinking has on the production and limitation of our desires. It celebrates a multiplicity of desires by focusing not on the ways abstract norms and identities are represented, but rather on the way in which every lived gesture repeats a series of images and, in so doing, makes that image into something entirely new. The question I ask here, however, is to what extent can a nomadic "becoming-woman" serve to empower women and minorities given the historical lack of strong identities that have been available to facilitate their becoming? The first half of this thesis is dedicated to developing the strategies of minoritarian becoming in the Deleuzian nomadic theatre. I argue that while this approach allows us to move beyond received normative ways of being, it does not yet provide the necessary tools to assure that minority desires will not simply be appropriated by a political majority. The second half of this thesis therefore explores possible tools for developing approaches to cultural media that can not only serve a generalized process of becoming-minoritarian or becoming-woman, but that can do so in a manner that also furthers the desires of women and minorities. Here I consider the approaches of Cixous, Irigaray, Braidotti and Butler as providing possible avenues for developing these desires. My focus throughout is on how these strategies inform approaches to cultural production and I therefore show how some of these strategies work in various nonrepresentational theatre and performance pieces, including the theatrical productions of Artaud and Cixous, the drag performances of Divine, and other approaches. I conclude by suggesting a re-reading of Deleuze that allows for the insights of the feminists I examined and that may pave the way for the development of cultural media focused on building alliances amongst women and minorities through the use of community theatre and carnival.

description: Dentro do agronegócio brasileiro, o café arábica está entre os produtos com o mais elevado nível de risco e, ainda assim, é um produto importante para a economia brasileira. Os mercados futuros são reconhecidos como meio de gerenciamento desses riscos, mas observou-se o baixo uso desse mecanismo no caso brasileiro. Por outro lado, a literatura tem avançado quanto aos métodos para realização de estratégias de hedge. Em vista disso, esse artigo teve a finalidade de analisar a efetividade, em redução de riscos, de diferentes estratégias de hedge para o café arábica no Brasil. Foram Testadas quatro estratégias: não atuação em mercados futuros; cobertura completa; estratégia estática que incorpora o conteúdo informacional em médias condicionais, obtida pelo modelo VEC; e a dinâmica, que incorpora o conteúdo informacional sobre a volatilidade, derivada do modelo GARCH Multivariado BEKK. Os resultados indicaram a estratégia dinâmica como mais efetiva, seguida da estática, cobertura completa e não atuação em mercados futuros. Contudo, a dinâmica teve pequena superioridade, quando comparada à estática, donde se concluiu que as duas estratégias tiveram efetividades semelhantes. Quanto às demais estratégias, elas foram desaconselháveis.--------------------------------------------The Arabian coffee is the highest level of risk among the products inside the Brazilian agribusiness, and it is a important product to the Brazilian economy. The futures markets are recognized as a way of managing these risks, but there was identified low use of this mechanism in the Brazilian’s case. Moreover, the literature has advanced in the methods for implementation of hedge strategies. This paper had the purpose of analyzing the reducing risks effectiveness of different hedge strategies for the Arabian coffee in Brazil. It were tried four strategies: no performance in futures markets; Complete coverage; Static strategy, that incorporates the informational content in conditional average, obtained by the VEC model; and the dynamic strategy, which incorporates the informational content on the volatility, derived from the Multivariate GARCH BEKK model. The results indicated the dynamic strategy as more effective, followed by static, complete coverage, not performance in future markets. However, the dynamic had not significantly more effective when compared to the static, from that it was possible to conclude that the two strategies were similar effectiveness. As for other strategies, they were non advisable.
On a parity property in the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect

description: The main issue in this paper is to discuss a parity property that appears in the expressions for the distorted spectrum of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. When using the convolution integrals method involving scattering laws we argue that the distorted spectrum contains a new term, which is an odd power of the frequency. Such a term, absent in the conventional approaches, implies a crossover frequency which differs in value form the ones reported in the literature by a significant, in principle observable, amount. Also, such term casts doubt on the demanding need of computing complicated relativistic calculations. The relationship of our approach with the existing calculations is discussed.

description: [Objectives] This study aimed to explore the effect of different processing methods on the storage quality of strawberries. [Methods] Strawberries purchased from Xintongtian Supermarket in Cangzhou City were used as the experimental material, and they were subjected to different processing methods: 45 ℃ hot air for 30 min, 45 ℃ hot water for 10 min and 3% calcium chloride for 1 min. [Results] The processing effect of 45 ℃ hot water for 10 min was better than that of 45 ℃ hot air for 30 min. The processing effect of 3% calcium chloride for 1 min was good. Hot water processing could prolong the time to begin to rot, obviously alleviate the increase in weight loss rate, and obviously alleviate the decrease of soluble solids and Vc contents of strawberry fruit. However, the ability of hot water to delay the decrease of strawberry fruit hardness was not as good as that of calcium chloride. [Conclusions] The strawberries processed with 45 ℃ hot water for 10 min showed the best storage quality.

description: The country is facing one of the biggest challenges since its independence – the process of the EU accession. Taking into consideration that „forecasting important economic events is source of power“ (Howitt, 2005), the aim of this paper is to develop a model in order to assess the impact of the EU membership on the Macedonian agriculture. The model is recursive, dynamic, multi-product partial equilibrium model for the meat, dairy and cereals sector in the Republic of Macedonia. It follows the AGMEMOD principles, hence comprising the local features of the Macedonian agriculture. The baseline scenario shows a positive growth of the pig meat, lamb meat and cow milk sectors. On the other hand, in the EU scenarios the most positive effect is expected in the extensive sectors, e.g the sheep and beef productions. The grains show modest growth on the supply side, but the projections on the net-trade demonstrate further deficit increase. The biggest gain in the EU scenarios comes from the higher level of prices, but also from the higher budgetary support. Compared with the experiences of the previous enlargements, the model confirms the expectations about the development of the selected sectors after the EU accession.

description: In symbolic regression, the search for analytic models is typically driven purely by the prediction error observed on the training data samples. However, when the data samples do not sufficiently cover the input space, the prediction error does not provide sufficient guidance toward desired models. Standard symbolic regression techniques then yield models that are partially incorrect, for instance, in terms of their steady-state characteristics or local behavior. If these properties were considered already during the search process, more accurate and relevant models could be produced. We propose a multi-objective symbolic regression approach that is driven by both the training data and the prior knowledge of the properties the desired model should manifest. The properties given in the form of formal constraints are internally represented by a set of discrete data samples on which candidate models are exactly checked. The proposed approach was experimentally evaluated on three test problems with results clearly demonstrating its capability to evolve realistic models that fit the training data well while complying with the prior knowledge of the desired model characteristics at the same time. It outperforms standard symbolic regression by several orders of magnitude in terms of the mean squared deviation from a reference model.

description: We used concentrations of in situ cosmogenic 10Be from riverine sediment to quantify the basin-averaged denudation rates and sediment fluxes in the Plessur Basin, Eastern Swiss Alps, which is a tributary stream to the Alpine Rhine, one of the largest streams in Europe. We complement the cosmogenic dataset with the results of morphometric analyses, geomorphic mapping, and sediment fingerprinting techniques. The results reveal that the Plessur Basin is still adjusting to the landscape perturbation caused by the glacial carving during the Last Glacial Maximum c. 20,000 years ago. This adjustment has been most efficient in the downstream part where the bedrock comprises high erodibility North Penninic flysch and Bündnerschist, whereas glacial landforms are still prominently preserved in the upstream region, comprising low erodibility South Penninic and Austroalpine bedrock. This geomorphic observation is supported by the 10Be based denudation rate and sediment provenance analysis, which indicate a much faster sediment production in the flysch and schist lithologies. Interestingly, the reach of fast denudation has experienced the highest exhumation and rock uplift rates. This suggests that lithologic and glacial conditioning have substantially contributed to the local uplift and denudation as some of the driving forces of a positive feedback system.

description: This paper reports a numerical approach for modelling the thermal behavior and heat accumulation/liberation of sustainable cementitious composites made with Recycled Brick Aggregates (RBAs) employed as carriers for Phase-Change Materials (PCMs). In the framework of the further development of the fixed grid modelling method, classically employed for solving the well-known Stefan problem, an enthalpy-based approach and an apparent calorific capacity method have been proposed and validated. More specifically, the results of an experimental program, following an advanced incorporation and immobilization technique, developed at the Institut für Werkstoffe im Bauwesen for investigating the thermal responses of various combinations of PCM-RBAs, have been considered as the benchmark to calibrate/validate the numerical results. Promising numerical results have been obtained, and temperature simulations showed good agreement with the experimental data of the analyzed mixtures.

description: China, as a country with 56 ethnic groups, has different geographical location, historical development and national customs. Residents in different places have incorporated different cultural characteristics when building local houses. This differentiated cultural and artistic feature is a reflection of the cultural connotation in a specific age and region. However, cultural protection is not always perfect. Many details are missed in this torrent of conservation culture, and door and window decorations are in this position. When collecting data, it is found that there is very little research on door and window decoration in Jiangxi. In this study, taking the doors and windows of Bailu Ancient Village as an example, combined with the cultural history of door and window decoration in southern Jiangxi, the artistic essence and historical value of the decorative patterns of houses were discussed. After searching a large number of documents, a field investigation was conducted in Bailu Ancient Village. Through direct observation of doors and windows and asking local residents about their understanding of door and window decoration, the history, current situation and future of door and window decoration in Bailu Ancient Village were described in detailed and predicted roughly.

description: In high technology markets, the development of new products has received widespread interest among marketing and management scholars. Popular wisdom suggests that a consumer driven approach to the product development process is key to a firm’s competitive success. Organizational learning research however has argued that a narrow focus on customer needs restricts a firm’s ability to search for unconventional product market opportunities. Hence, a greater openness to external ideas that extend beyond the interests of the consumer has been called for. In drawing on concepts of absorptive capacity and strategic alliances, this study develops a conceptual model to examine a firm’s product development process. This conceptual model is examined in the biotechnology industry. Regression analyses show a firm’s absorptive capacity exhibits a positive yet diminishing effect on a firm’s ability to introduce products to the market. Findings also indicate the type of knowledge possessed by a firm yields a distinct moderating effect to the product benefits of alliances.

description: Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator materials feature topologically protected edge states that can drastically reduce dissipation and are useful for the next-generation electronics. However, the nonvolatile control of topological edge state is still a challenge. In this paper, based on first-principles calculations, the switchable topological states are found in the van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures consisting of two dimensional (2D) Bi(111) bilayer (BL) and α-In2Se3 by reversing the electric polarization of the ferroelectric α-In2Se3. The topological switching results from the different charge transfer associated with the two opposite polarization states of α-In2Se3. This new topological switching mechanism has the unique advantages of being fully electrical as well as nonvolatile. Our finding provides an unprecedented approach to realize ferroelectric control of topological states in 2D materials, which will have great potential for applications in topological nanoscale electronics.

description: Industry dynamic is a key indicator for sustainable industry growth. It depends on variety of factors on international and regional level. One of the important driving forces on international level is seen in the face of economic and political alliances. Cultural and regional policies, and social behaviour are driving industry dynamics on a regional level though. Our hypothesis is that specific differences of industrial dynamics of the Balkan countries occurred based on economic and political alliances (EU membership; Euro zone, Black Sea Economic Cooperation). This hypothesis is verified with analysis of a traditional for the Balkans industrial sector like Food and Beverage. The paper aims to find out more evidence to verify a basic hypothesis. It includes a comparative analysis of some basic industrial dynamic’s indicators for the European Union (EU 16), Greece, Romania and Bulgaria. The analysed period is 2000-2010. The conclusions are concentrated mostly on Bulgaria.

description: An equilibrium of a delay differential equation (DDE) is absolutely stable, if it is locally asymptotically stable for all delays. We present criteria for absolute stability of DDEs with discrete timedelays. In the case of a single delay, the absolute stability is shown to be equivalent to asymptotic stability for sufficiently large delays. Similarly, for multiple delays, the absolute stability is equivalent to asymptotic stability for hierarchically large delays. Additionally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear DDE to be hyperbolic for all delays. The latter conditions are crucial for determining whether a system can have stabilizing or destabilizing bifurcations by varying time delays.

description: The possibility of generation of stable self-focusing beams in in-plane magnetized thin magnetic films is considered and theoretical conditions for the existence of such localized solutions are discussed. It is shown that for the definite direction between static magnetizing field and preferential direction of radiation from microwave antenna the problem reduces to the one-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equation. For such angles it is possible to generate stable self-focusing beams. Particular values of beam width and propagation angles versus magnitude of magnetizing field are calculated in order to suggest the realistic experimental setup for the observation of discovered effect.

До карантина у всех участников исследования ПЦР-тест на наличие COVID-19 был отрицательным. При повторном исследовании, проведенном после карантина, при отрицательных результатах ПЦР-теста у 38 из 73 были выявлены Ig G, при отрицательных результатах на IgM к COVID-19. С учетом этого участников исследования разделили на 2 группы. В I группу вошли 35 мужчин, у которых при проведении ИФА-исследовании (иммуноферментный анализ) в крови антитела к COVID-19 не были выявлены. Во II группу вошли 38 мужчин, у которых при повторном исследовании крови были выявлены Ig G к COVID-19. Учитывая, что у 4 из них после острого респираторного синдрома при COVID-19, осложненного дыхательной недостаточностью, отмечалась азооспермия, они не рассматривались.

description: We discuss some analytical and numerical aspects related to the replacement of integral dispersion relations by derivative relations and also the practical applicability of the derivative approach in the investigation of high-energy elastic hadron-hadron scattering. Making use of a Monopole Pomeron model and singly subtracted integral and derivative dispersion relations, we present the results of fits to the experimental data on the total cross sections and the ratio of the real to the imaginary part of the forward elastic scattering amplitude (proton-proton and antiproton-proton interactions). The emphasis is on the region of low energies and, in particular, we show that once the subtraction constant is used as a free fit parameter the derivative approach is equivalent to the integral approach even below the energy cutoff of the fitted data.

description: Mit der Befreiung präsentierte Berta Lask der Öffentlichkeit der Weimarer Republik ein Stück, das in der Tradition des revolutionären proletarischen Theaters die Massen, in diesem Falle Arbeiterinnen, zur aktiven politischen Teilnahme motivieren sollte. Anhand der Analyse der Figurenkonzeption und des formalen Aufbaus des Dramas soll gezeigt werden, wie das Verhältnis von Revolution und Geschlecht innerhalb dieser seltenen, auf weibliche Figuren zentrierten Handlung verhandelt wird. Zwar wird Frauen politische Teilhabe zugestanden bzw. diese auch in Form von Agitation gefordert, jedoch bleiben gewisse Handlungsräume – wie der Kampf an der Waffe – weiterhin problematisch für Frauen. Darüber hinaus werden die unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Kontexte und Konfliktlinien in Verbindung mit der Voraussetzung revolutionären Erwachens diskutiert. Während nach einer gemeinsamen Identifikationsmöglichkeit aller Frauen über die politische Gesinnung gestrebt wird, bleiben gewisse Darstellungen doch zum einen in kulturchauvinistischen Traditionen verhaftet und zum anderen die weibliche Beteiligung immer als Nachahmung von bzw. Anschluss an männliche revolutionäre Aktivität markiert.

description: Existing approaches and datasets for face aging produce results skewed towards the mean, with individual variations and expression wrinkles often invisible or overlooked in favor of global patterns such as the fattening of the face. Moreover, they offer little to no control over the way the faces are aged and can difficultly be scaled to large images, thus preventing their usage in many real-world applications. To address these limitations, we present an approach to change the appearance of a high-resolution image using ethnicity-specific aging information and weak spatial supervision to guide the aging process. We demonstrate the advantage of our proposed method in terms of quality, control, and how it can be used on high-definition images while limiting the computational overhead.

description: In der Soziologie bezeichnet der Begriff der Ambivalenz gegensätzliche, konflikthafte oder widersprüchliche kulturelle Ziele einer Gesellschaftsstruktur. Dieser Beitrag wendet den Begriff auf die im Europäischen Forschungsraum institutionalisierten kulturellen Normen und Werte an, um eine strukturelle Ambivalenz europäischer Integration in der Wissenschaft zu untersuchen. Ziel ist eine Analyse des Verhältnisses von Gleichstellungsnormen und Exzellenzidealen am Beispiel der durch den European Research Council (ERC) repräsentierten europäischen Exzellenzinitiative. Die These ist, dass das aktuell dominante Exzellenzparadigma eine Umsetzung supranationaler Gleichstellungsnormen in der Wissenschaft erschwert.

description: Choice experiment studies eliciting values for quality attributes provide relevant information to fruit agribusiness managers in various ways. First, it helps orchard managers to know if novel cultivars possess the attributes most valued by consumers. Second, it benefits warehouse and re-tail store managers to apply appropriate techniques to enhance fruit quality characteristics most appealing to consumers. Third, it is valuable for marketing managers to base their strategies on research-based information on consumers’ preferences. Results from a choice experiment showed that consumers were willing to pay $0.19, $0.16, $0.16, and $0.06 for a one unit increase in Anjou pears’ sweetness, texture, juiciness, and firmness liking scores, respectively.

description: Based on the notion of the resolvent and on the Hilbert identities, this paper presents a number of classical results in the theory of differential operators and some of their applications to the theory of automorphic functions and number theory from a unified point of view. For instance, for the Sturm-Liouville operator there is a derivation of the Gelfand-Levitan trace formula, and for the one-dimensional Schroedinger operator a derivation of Faddeev's formula for the characteristic determinant and the Zakharov-Faddeev trace identities. Recent results on the spectral theory of a certain functional-difference operator arising in conformal field theory are then presented. The last section of the survey is devoted to the Laplace operator on a fundamental domain of a Fuchsian group of the first kind on the Lobachevsky plane. An algebraic scheme is given for proving analytic continuation of the integral kernel of the resolvent of the Laplace operator and the Eisenstein-Maass series. In conclusion, there is a discussion of the relation between the values of the Eisenstein-Maass series at Heegner points and Dedekind zeta-functions of imaginary quadratic fields, and it is explained why pseudo-cuspforms for the case of the modular group do not provide any information about the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function.

description: Der Beitrag analysiert aus ethnografischer, intersektionaler Perspektive Essenspraktiken von Schüler_innen und Fachkräften an einer inklusiven Ganztagsschule. Die kontrastierende Analyse zweier Szenen des Mittagessens einer 5. und 9. Klasse verweist auf schulklassenspezifische Gemeinsamkeiten wie Unterschiede von Essenspraktiken und setzt diese in Verbindung zum situativen Kontext. Die schulstrukturelle Rahmung des obligatorischen Mittagessens für Schüler_innen der Klasse 5 ermöglicht ebenso wie das ungeregelte Mittagessen im Klassenraum der Klasse 9 die situative Aushandlung verschiedener Formen von ex- wie inkludierenden Praktiken. Methodologisch reflektiert, ermöglicht die intersektionale Analyseperspektive das Aufzeigen der Verbindungen von Ungleichheitsdimensionen, die in vergeschlechtlichten Essenspraktiken von Schüler_innen und Fachkräften anhand von Performances und Doing Gendered Authority aufgerufen und bearbeitet werden.
Dynamic spatial tuning of attentional focus in the attentional blink

description: When two sequential targets (T1, T2) are inserted in an RSVP stream of distractors, perception of T2 is impaired at inter-target lags shorter than 700 ms. Paradoxically, this deficit disappears when T2 is presented directly after T1 (Lag-1 sparing). Visser et al. (1999) found that Lag-1 sparing occurs only when T1 and T2 are presented in the same stream. In contrast, Shih (2000) obtained Lag-1 sparing with targets in separate streams. Four experiments addressed this inconsistency and revealed Lag-1 sparing with targets in different streams, but only when observers had no foreknowledge of T1' s location. We hypothesized that when T1 location is known, the attentional spotlight is focused narrowly on that stream; if T2 then appears in the other stream it is missed, and Lag-1 sparing does not occur. When T1 location is not known, the spotlight is focused broadly, encompassing both streams, and Lag-1 sparing ensues.

description: This paper examines development of the Czech agriculture through profitability of the dairy - milk in time horizon 2002-2010. The analyse base of the methodology and the database published by Institute of Agricultural Economics and Information in Prague. The aim of the paper is to give an objective information about influence of agrarian policy on the development of milk production, especially with reference to comparison of changes in the pre-accession (period I = 2002-2003) and in the after-accession of CR to the EU with consistent producer prices of milk (period II = 2004-2008) and with reduced producer prices of milk (prediction of period III = 2009-2010). This deals with the economic position of Czech producers related to the most considerable livestock commodity of the Czech agriculture through 2 indicators, profitability without supports (R-S) and profitability with supports (R+S). There was proved that profitability R+S in the period I was negative for dairy sector. In connection with the membership of CR in EU agricultural supports significantly increased for dairy sector as the consequence of applying of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the Czech agriculture. Therefore there were monitored in the period II important positive changes of the indicator R+S for milk commodity. In the connection with the decrease of producer prices in the period III there was found important downgrade of this indicator. For the Czech Republic there were obtained following milk production values of R+S in the period I, resp. II and III 2,1 %, resp. 10,8 and –7,4 %.

description: We use the effective chiral Lagrangian to analyze the phase diagram of two-flavor twisted mass lattice QCD as a function of the normal and twisted masses, generalizing previous work for the untwisted theory. We first determine the chiral Lagrangian including discretization effects up to next-to-leading order (NLO) in a combined expansion in which m_π^2/(4πf_π)^2 ~ a Λ(a being the lattice spacing, and Λ= Λ_{QCD}). We then focus on the region where m_π^2/(4πf_π)^2 ~ (a Λ)^2, in which case competition between leading and NLO terms can lead to phase transitions. As for untwisted Wilson fermions, we find two possible phase diagrams, depending on the sign of a coefficient in the chiral Lagrangian. For one sign, there is an Aoki phase for pure Wilson fermions, with flavor and parity broken, but this is washed out into a crossover if the twisted mass is non-vanishing. For the other sign, there is a first order transition for pure Wilson fermions, and we find that this transition extends into the twisted mass plane, ending with two symmetrical second order points at which the mass of the neutral pion vanishes. We provide graphs of the condensate and pion masses for both scenarios, and note a simple mathematical relation between them. These results may be of importance to numerical simulations.

description: We report susceptibility, specific heat, and neutron diffraction measurements on NaCu$_2$O$_2$, a spin-1/2 chain compound isostructural to LiCu$_2$O$_2$, which has been extensively investigated. Below 13 K, we find a long-range ordered, incommensurate magnetic helix state with a propagation vector similar to that of LiCu$_2$O$_2$. In contrast to the Li analogue, substitutional disorder is negligible in NaCu$_2$O$_2$. We can thus rule out that the helix is induced by impurities, as was claimed on the basis of prior work on LiCu$_2$O$_2$. A spin Hamiltonian with frustrated longer-range exchange interactions provides a good description of both the ordered state and the paramagnetic susceptibility.
