Early Modern Crime Literature: Ideology, Emotions and Social Norms
Creators: name: Ascari, Maurizio
name: Golinelli, Gilberta
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: Early Modern Crime Literature: Ideology, Emotions and Social Norms delves into the complex relation between early modern crime and its literary representations in the light of an episteme that was characterised by contrasting ideologies, forms of transgression and their containment. It explores the multi-layered, polyphonic and porous nature of crime literature as dynamised by social and cultural changes, positioning it within a shifting geometry of religious and political conflicts, class and gender divides and negotiations, genres and market forces. It also discusses the unstable status of criminals, ranging from the abject to the ambivalent to proto-mass-cultural forms of personality cult pivoting on deviance from social norms.

From Sin and Damnation to Crime and Punishment in Early Tudor Drama
Creators: name: Mullini, Roberta
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: The article presents some case studies of early sixteenth-century English (and Scottish) drama in search of transformation from the overall religious condemnation of sins to a worldlier idea of crime and punishment. Starting from the sin of avarice and connecting it to the acquisition of illegal wealth and stolen property both on an individual and a political level, it also includes usury among property crimes. Relevant Tudor laws and statutes are taken into account and plays are studied on the background of contemporary legislation. The representation of onstage trial courts is also investigated, showing the change and continuation of legal procedures. Onstage forms of punishment are discussed as well. The analysis shows that the passage from sin to crime and from religious condemnation to earthly punishment, a phenomenon still difficult to perceive for law and social historians, is nevertheless foreshadowed in early Tudor drama, which progressively reflects social and political issues, including the administration of justice.

Between Sin and Crime: The Contrasting Hermeneutics of J. Ogilvie’s Trial and Execution, According to the Relatio Incarcerationis and A True Relation of the Proceedings Against John Ogilvie
Creators: name: Hernández Arana, Luis Fernando
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: This article explores the relationship between the old conceptualization of crime, inherited from Scholasticism, and the new –modern– conceptualization of crime through the controversial case of the Jesuit John Ogilvie, executed in Glasgow in 1615. It contextualizes the two main published accounts of his arrest, trial and execution, the autobiographical account known as the Relatio incarcerationis and the Scottish official account of Ogilvie’s trial and execution, A True Relation of the Proceedings Against John Ogilvie. These two accounts represent two different worldviews. The Catholic narrative insists on the universality of dogma and is based on the theological conception of sin. The national-Protestant narrative considers it a crime of treason to deny the full authority of the king in his own nation and bases its conception of the crime on the legal rather than theological ground. By showing the contrasting elements of these worldviews, the article evidences the development of these two different conceptions of crime. The complex process of the transitional conceptualization of crime in the early-modern period demands first a broader analysis to understand the conceptual evolution that took place after the Renaissance period.

description: Photonic crystal cavities can localize light into nanoscale volumes with high quality factors. This permits a strong interaction between light and matter, which is important for the construction of classical light sources with improved properties (e.g., low threshold lasers) and of nonclassical light sources (such as single and entangled photon sources) that are crucial pieces of hardware of quantum information processing systems. This article will review some of our recent experimental and theoretical results on the interaction between single quantum dots and photonic crystal cavity fields, and on the integration of multiple photonic crystal devices into functional circuits for quantum information processing.

Vortex-antivortex nucleation in magnetically nanotextured superconductors: Magnetic-field-driven and thermal scenarios

description: Within the Ginzburg-Landau formalism, we predict two novel mechanisms of vortex-antivortex nucleation in a magnetically nanostructured superconductor. Although counterintuitive, nucleation of vortex-antivortex pairs can be activated in a superconducting (SC) film covered by arrays of submicron ferromagnets (FMs) when exposed to an external homogeneous magnetic field. In another scenario, we predict the thermal induction of vortex-antivortex configurations in SC/FM samples. This phenomenon leads to a new type of Little-Parks oscillations of the FM magnetization-temperature phase boundary of the superconducting film.

Robbers of the Sea: Piracy in Proclamations and Pamphlets, 1558-1675
Creators: name: Cotter, Hayley
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: The article considers two printed sources that informed English readers about the early modern crime of piracy: the royal proclamation and the pamphlet. It contends that proclamations on piracy have been an overlooked genre among scholars theorizing maritime crime, and that reading a pamphlet on piracy was an experience mediated by intimate knowledge of royal proclamations: these pamphlets, in turn, capitalize on this knowledge within their pages. It does not so much consider piracy itself, but rather mediates the effects of obtaining information about the crime through these two disparate, although complementary, mediums.

The rhetoric of co-management in Philipine fisheries
Creators: name: De La Peña, Lilian C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis traces the development of fisheries co-management in the Philippines. In the Philippines, the concept of co-management was first brought to the attention of local people by development agencies through their projects on community-based coastal resources management (CBCRM). After the legislation of the Local Government Code in 1991 and the Fisheries Code in 1998, co-management has not only directed the daily operation of local governments units but the daily life of local people, as well. CBCRM projects operated with the implicit aim to educate fishers about the physical environment. They also transferred technical skills to divert activities away from the sea to land (a vision of development highly influenced by scientific claims to reduce fishing efforts). Here lies the paradox. Co-management assumes decisions taken by local people emanate from "local voices," yet CBCRM projects have been working hard under prescribed set of ideas. The academic literature is not different. Students of social institutions surrounding property, for example, are also engaged in the rhetorical use of the concept 'community' to advance the idea of co-management. Based on field research on a fishing island in Central Philippines, this thesis illustrates how economic policies of the government have forced inhabitants to shift from farming to fishing. The result is the current intensification of fishing efforts. This situation directs attention to the possible harm that the combination of Western or science-derived principles and government's power to legislate might bring. Issues raised are discussed in light of emerging perspective from students of indigenous knowledge.

COMPARING THE 1996 AND 2002 FARM BILLS
Creators: name: Ibendahl, Gregory A.
name: Ibendahl, Gregory A.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2004
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: The 2002 farm bill is a big change from the 1996 farm bill. The new bill introduces greater complexity through direct and countercyclical payments. A comparison of the 1996 and 2002 farm bills is needed to estimate how all the changes affect farmers and to guide future farm bill policy. This paper uses simulation analysis to estimate 10 years of net income under the 1996 and 2002 farm bills for three Kentucky counties. Results indicate that both net income and income variance are very similar in all three counties. Changing the projected prices for the simulation affects income under both farm bills almost equally.
The Intricacies of Office: Constables, Thieves and the Uses of Literacy in Moll Flanders and Colonel Jack
Creators: name: Clegg, Jeanne
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: Among the many duties of constables during the early modern period was that of ‘carrying’ suspects taken by ordinary people before justices and then to prison. Moll Flanders, and Colonel Jack are justifiably terrified when one arrives the scene, but on all occasions - except that of Moll’s last arrest - they manage to get themselves out of the hands of the law. This article discusses three episodes in Moll Flanders and one in Colonel Jack, showing how thieves use hard-won knowledge of the intricacies of a constable’s office and their ‘tactic mobility’ to frustrate law enforcement. In conclusion it follows Hitchcock’s and Shoemaker’s attribution of unself-conscious agency to plebeian Londoners, stressing the urgent needs that force the poor and the criminal to acquire that knowledge and develop defensive tactics. It also suggests that in diffusing that know-how through print the two fictions may have, thanks to the growth literacy, been of help to thieves as well as officers of the law, and indirectly weakened public confidence in amateur policing.

Angular Differential Imaging: a Powerful High-Contrast Imaging Technique

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Angular differential imaging is a high-contrast imaging technique that reduces quasi-static speckle noise and facilitates the detection of nearby companions. A sequence of images is acquired with an altitude/azimuth telescope while the instrument field derotator is switched off. This keeps the instrument and telescope optics aligned and allows the field of view to rotate with respect to the instrument. For each image, a reference PSF is constructed from other appropriately-selected images of the same sequence and subtracted to remove quasi-static PSF structure. All residual images are then rotated to align the field and are combined. Observed performances are reported for Gemini North data. It is shown that quasi-static PSF noise can be reduced by a factor \~5 for each image subtraction. The combination of all residuals then provides an additional gain of the order of the square root of the total number of acquired images. A total speckle noise attenuation of 20-50 is obtained for one-hour long observing sequences compared to a single 30s exposure. A PSF noise attenuation of 100 was achieved for two-hour long sequences of images of Vega, reaching a 5-sigma contrast of 20 magnitudes for separations greater than 8". For a 30-minute long sequence, ADI achieves 30 times better signal-to-noise than a classical observation technique. The ADI technique can be used with currently available instruments to search for ~1MJup exoplanets with orbits of radii between 50 and 300 AU around nearby young stars. The possibility of combining the technique with other high-contrast imaging methods is briefly discussed.

description: Invasive weeds are a large problem on large tracts of rangeland in North America. Biological methods of control have been instituted, but many information gaps remain. An investment model approach is used to demonstrate some of the potentially key pieces of biological data that are required for an analysis. This model is applied to the control of leafy spurge on rangeland. The results of control are very dependent on the rate of spread and control by the biological control agent, the initial density of the weed, and the recovery of the forage (grass) after the weed has been controlled. Benefits of control are relatively low, as is the cost of the biological control practice. It takes several years before net benefits of the control practice are positive.
The Allure and Joy of Female Criminals in Early Modern English City Comedy
Creators: name: Landis, Jessica
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: The article examines the appeal of female criminal characters in early modern English city comedies. Stage representations of urban criminals on the early modern stage reflect a cultural taste for fictionalized and sensationalized stories of criminal behavior also prevalent in the popular rogue literature of the time. This trend suggests everyday city dwellers’ collective desire to better understand and contain the growing and diversifying population of London in the early seventeenth century. Specifically, the article posits that the comedic tones and alluring nature of staged versions of female crooks mitigate the threat of criminality for readers and viewers. Focusing specifically on Ben Jonson’s Doll Common from The Alchemist and offering readings of some examples of rogue literature, the article turns to a body of research on coney-catching literature and gender to make the claim that female criminals on the early modern stage are portrayed in an affectionate way that emphasizes their sexual and emotional appeal. Their popularity speaks to both the fear of a familiar sense of danger and the thrill of experiencing the exotic in the changing early modern urban landscape.

description: Phononless plasmon assisted transport through a long disordered array of finite length quantum wires is investigated analytically. Two temperature regimes, the low- and the high-temperature ones, with qualitatively different temperature dependencies of thermally activated resistance are identified. The characteristics of plasmon assisted and phonon assisted transport mechanisms are compared. Generically strong electron-electron interaction in quantum wires results in a qualitative change of the temperature dependence of thermally activated resistance in comparison to phonon assisted transport. At high temperatures, the thermally activated resistance is determined by the Luttinger liquid interaction parameter of the wires.

Onset of Magnetic Explosion in Solar Coronal Jets in Quiet Regions on the Central Disk

Year: 2020

description: We examine the initiation of 10 coronal jet eruptions in quiet regions on the central disk, thereby avoiding near-limb spicule-forest obscuration of the slow-rise onset of the minifilament eruption. From the SDO/AIA 171A 12-second-cadence movie of each eruption, we (1) find and compare the start times of the minifilament's slow rise, the jet-base bright point, the jet-base interior brightening, and the jet spire, and (2) measure the minifilament's speed at the start and end of its slow rise. From (a) these data, (b) prior observations showing that each eruption was triggered by magnetic flux cancelation under the minifilament, and (c) the breakout-reconnection current sheet observed in one eruption, we confirm that quiet-region jet-making minifilament eruptions are miniature versions of CME-making filament eruptions, and surmise that in most quiet region jets: (1) the eruption starts before runaway reconnection starts, (2) runaway reconnection does not start until the slow-rise speed is at least about 1 km/s, and (3) at and before eruption onset there is no current sheet of appreciable extent. We therefore expect: (i) many CME-making filament eruptions are triggered by flux cancelation under the filament, (ii) emerging bipoles seldom, if ever, directly drive jet production because the emergence is seldom, if ever, fast enough, and (iii) at a separatrix or quasi-separatrix in any astrophysical setting of magnetic field in low-beta plasma, a current sheet of appreciable extent can be built only dynamically by a magnetohydrodynamic convulsion of the field, not by quasi-static gradual converging of the field.

Compliant Manipulation of Free-Floating Objects
Creators: name: Sharma, Shikha
name: Suomalainen, Markku
name: Kyrki, Ville
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Compliant motions allow alignment of workpieces using naturally occurring interaction forces. However, free-floating objects do not have a fixed base to absorb the reaction forces caused by the interactions. Consequently, if the interaction forces are too high, objects can gain momentum and move away after contact. This paper proposes an approach based on direct force control for compliant manipulation of free-floating objects. The objective of the controller is to minimize the interaction forces while maintaining the contact. The proposed approach achieves this by maintaining small constant force along the motion direction and an apparent reduction of manipulator inertia along remaining Degrees of Freedom (DOF). Simulation results emphasize the importance of relative inertia of the robotic manipulator with respect to the free-floating object. The experiments were performed with KUKA LWR4+ manipulator arm and a two-dimensional micro-gravity emulator (object floating on an air bed), which was developed in-house. It was verified that the proposed control law is capable of controlling the interaction forces and aligning the tools without pushing the object away. We conclude that direct force control works better with a free-floating object than implicit force control algorithms, such as impedance control.

description: We develop a demand model for the water market of Windhoek, Namibia, and segment the market by income. The model uses the perceived price concept developed by Shin (1985). Results confirm the Shin hypotheses that consumers don't know actual prices, but respond to perceived prices. The average price and covariates have the expected signs. However, marginal price (MP) coefficient is positive. Shin's perception parameter (k) is negative in two of three income segments. In the Shin model, this implies that consumers respond to MP (through perceived prices). Ambiguities about prices warrant further investigation.

description: We present a detailed experimental and theoretical analysis of the optical orientation of electron spins in GaAs/AlAs quantum wells. Using time and polarization resolved photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, the initial degree of electron spin polarization is measured as a function of excitation energy for a sequence of quantum wells with well widths between 63 Ang and 198 Ang. The experimental results are compared with an accurate theory of excitonic absorption taking fully into account electron-hole Coulomb correlations and heavy-hole light-hole coupling. We find in wide quantum wells that the measured initial degree of polarization of the luminescence follows closely the spin polarization of the optically excited electrons calculated as a function of energy. This implies that the orientation of the electron spins is essentially preserved when the electrons relax from the optically excited high-energy states to quasi-thermal equilibrium of their momenta. Due to initial spin relaxation, the measured polarization in narrow quantum wells is reduced by a constant factor that does not depend on the excitation energy.

Mary Frith, Moll Cutpurse, and the Development of an Early Modern Criminal Celebrity
Creators: name: Liebe, Lauren
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: Mary Frith (1584?-1659) is one of the most intriguing and well-documented female criminals of early modern London, both in court records and in literature. Popular perceptions of her criminality were shaped not by her crimes themselves, but by Frith’s cultivation of her own version of female celebrity, which drew upon and reframed her criminal actions. Frith constructed the persona of Moll Cutpurse as part of her development as a musical performer in London’s Bankside theatre district. She built upon her own criminal history to create a female character whose transgressiveness—both as a petty thief and as a cross-dressing performer—made her an intriguing and distinctive figure who quickly proved a fascinating topic for a variety of popular literature. Ballads, plays, and tales reshaped her criminal activities as heroic by exploiting her criminal celebrity persona. The popularity of Moll’s subsequent depictions in fiction has overshadowed Frith’s own achievements as a savvy performer and businesswoman, albeit one operating at the edges of the law. Only by examining Frith’s historical record alongside but distinct from the fictional portrayals of Moll can we determine the ways in which Frith’s female criminal celebrity shaped and was in turn shaped by her literary legacy.

description: The September 11th event focused the world's attention on the threat of bioterrorism to the food chain. As a consequence, the U.S. implemented the Bioterrorism Act (BTA). These new administrative import rules will be evaluated regarding WTO conformity and trade impact. This analysis is based on an inventory approach systematizing the BTA, and a trade flow analysis. The BTA do not significantly deviate from WTO rules, however, the findings are driven by existing flexibility in international administrative import guidelines. The trade analysis highlights that products and countries with prior expedited or less regulated procedures and small import quantities are affected.

description: Controlling crystalline material defects is crucial, as they affect properties of the material that may be detrimental or beneficial for the final performance of a device. Defect analysis on the sub-nanometer scale is enabled by high-resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy [HR(S)TEM], where the identification of defects is currently carried out based on human expertise. However, the process is tedious, highly time consuming and, in some cases, yields ambiguous results. Here we propose a semi-supervised machine learning method that assists in the detection of lattice defects from atomic resolution microscope images. It involves a convolutional neural network that classifies image patches as defective or non-defective, a graph-based heuristic that chooses one non-defective patch as a model, and finally an automatically generated convolutional filter bank, which highlights symmetry breaking such as stacking faults, twin defects and grain boundaries. Additionally, we suggest a variance filter to segment amorphous regions and beam defects. The algorithm is tested on III-V/Si crystalline materials and successfully evaluated against different metrics, showing promising results even for extremely small training data sets. By combining the data-driven classification generality, robustness and speed of deep learning with the effectiveness of image filters in segmenting faulty symmetry arrangements, we provide a valuable open-source tool to the microscopist community that can streamline future HR(S)TEM analyses of crystalline materials.

description: We demonstrate that in semiconductor quantum dots wave functions probed by imaging techniques based on local tunneling spectroscopies like STM show characteristic signatures of electron-electron Coulomb correlation. We predict that such images correspond to ``quasi-particle'' wave functions which cannot be computed by standard mean-field techniques (density functional theory, Hartree-Fock) in the strongly correlated regime corresponding to low electron density. From the configuration-interaction solution of the few-particle problem for prototype dots, we find that quasi-particle wave function images may display signatures of Wigner crystallization.

description: In this paper, we introduce a distributed secondary frequency control scheme for an islanded ac microgrid under event-triggered communication. An integral type event-triggered mechanism is proposed by which each distributed generator (DG) asynchronously and periodically checks its triggering condition and determines whether to update its control inputs and broadcast its states to neighboring DGs. In contrast to existing event-triggered strategies on secondary control of microgrids, under the proposed sampled-data based event-triggered mechanism, DGs need not be synchronized to a common clock and each individual DG checks its triggering condition periodically, relying on its own clock. Furthermore, the proposed method efficiently reduces communication and computation complexity. We provide sufficient conditions under which all DGs' frequencies asymptotically converge to the common reference frequency value. Finally, effectiveness of our proposed method is verified by simulating different scenarios on a well-established islanded ac microgrid benchmark in the MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Government Policy and Food Imports: The Case of Wheat in Egypt

description: During the next few decades, tremendous demands will be placed on the foreign exchange-earning capacities of developing countries. These countries need to pay for rapidly increasing food imports and, in addition, for the capital goods they need to import to sustain economic growth. Intensives pressure will also be placed on the real incomes of low-income people, particularly if the real price of food rises in response to the rapid growth of demand. That pressure, in turn, will increase the pressure for consumer food subsidies, aided by a growing realization that food subsidies are labor subsidies in the same sense that interest rate subsidies are capital subsidies. In contrast, constraints on foreign exchange availability, saving rates, and the availability of government revenues will press for containment of food subsidy coasts. These forces are neither simpler nor well understood. Their importance will increase. Much of IFPRI’s research is forced on the background factors, the conceptual elements, and the empirical record of food subsidies. Import policy is a major component of these. This research report by Grant Scobie is a major step forward for IFPRI’s work in this important area. It concentrates on the interaction of government policy and wheat imports. Data for Egypt sheds light on many of the issues related to their interaction. Because the size of food subsidies and wheat imports is much larger in Egypt than in other developing countries. This research is related to specific analyses of food subsidies and their effects currently under way at IFPRI. That work will allow more conclusions about how international trade and domestic food policies interact. Other work at IFPRI is refining our knowledge of the relationship between food prices and availability, on the one hand, and poverty, nutritional status, and employment on the other. From these works objectives of growth and equality more effectively and more humanely.

Identification of genomic alterations and altered expression profiles using novel baterial genome display techniques
Creators: name: Malloff, Chad Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The efficacy of antimicrobial agents against common bacterial pathogens has been diminishing significantly in recent years. Numerous clinical isolates and lab strains with altered virulence and drug resistances have been identified. The identification of novel and acquired genes involved in pathogenesis will be imperative in the development of new drugs. Large scale genomic and expression profiling of pathogenic phenotypes will prove invaluable for gene identification. We have developed three whole genome-scanning techniques to aid in the identification of acquired and novel genes. First, two-dimensional bacterial genomic display (2DBGD) was developed, from current two-dimensional DNA electrophoresis (2DDE) techniques, for the high-throughput comparison of bacterial genomes. This technique was used to generate high-resolution displays that enable the direct comparison of > 800 genomic fragments simultaneously. 2DBGDs allowed the identification of large insertions, encoding for antibiotic resistance, in strains of the respiratory pathogens B. pertussis and P. aeruginosa, and a 7 nucleotide substitution in a 20 kbp plasmid. 2DBGDs are capable of detecting acquired DNA, however, only in very closely related strains. If used to compare more distantly related bacteria (different species) numerous small changes (ie. small deletions and point mutations), unrelated to the interesting phenotype, would encumber the comparison of 2DBGDs. For this reason a second method, bacterial comparative genomic hybridization (BCGH), was developed to directly compare the genomes of more distantly related bacteria to identify gain or loss of genomic DNA. The utility of BCGH was also evaluated by comparing two strains of the opportunistic pathogen P. aeruginosa. Detection of a single copy gene insertion responsible for gentamicin resistance validates this method. Hybridization of the BCGH template with cDNA probes generated from the comparison strains was also used to confirm the identity of the gentamicin resistance gene. Lastly we used a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of B. pertussis to generate a template of BAC fingerprints spanning 87.2% of the genome. This template was used for the comparison of cDNA populations that represent different virulence phases in B. pertussis. Known virulence genes were identified and numerous candidate genes demonstrated alternate expression. These novel genome wide scanning techniques will enable the identification of novel and acquired genes that may be used as targets for combating the reoccurrence of bacterial pathogens.
Relaxing unimodularity for Yang-Baxter deformed strings

description: We consider so-called Yang-Baxter deformations of bosonic string sigma-models, based on an $R$-matrix solving the (modified) classical Yang-Baxter equation. It is known that a unimodularity condition on $R$ is sufficient for Weyl invariance at least to two loops (first order in $α'$). Here we ask what the necessary condition is. We find that in cases where the matrix $(G+B)_{mn}$, constructed from the metric and $B$-field of the undeformed background, is degenerate the unimodularity condition arising at one loop can be replaced by weaker conditions. We further show that for non-unimodular deformations satisfying the one-loop conditions the Weyl invariance extends at least to two loops (first order in $α'$). The calculations are simplified by working in an $O(D,D)$-covariant doubled formulation.
