Human techno-evolution and the future

description: Material cultures are the result of human ingenuity and aim at a purpose: a very basic notion of “technology”. They have surrounded the birth of human babies for more than three million years, much earlier than previously thought. In 2015, the discovery of an enigmatic lithic industry was announced at the Lomekwi 3 site on the western shore of Lake Turkana in Kenya, surprisingly dated to 3.3 million years ago, that is, more than half a million years older than the first known fossil belonging to the genus Homo. We have to rewrite the textbooks because it is unlikely that Homo habilis was the first human to build and manipulate tools (Harmand et al., 2015). He no longer deserves his surname. Lomekwi’s tools are rudimentary and often unfinished, but already diversified: they are a lithic “industry” in all respects, not a failed experiment of occasional creativity. We do not know which technologist hominin made them: in those regions in Africa, at that time, australopithecines of the A. afarensis species (like Lucy) and their Kenyanthropus cousins circulated. They had a brain that was a third of ours. Our brains develop for two thirds after birth. Thus, the experiences, the care we receive, the family and social context in which we grow, the encounters that happen to us, the games with friends, what we learn by social imitation, and so on, literally carve our brains (Dehaene et al., 2015). Therefore, in the past, the tools and technological (bodily and mental) prostheses that we learned to use, that surrounded us since we were born and that perhaps we ourselves contributed to invent or improve, shaped our brains (Wrangham, 2009). Fire, cooking food, group life have transformed the environment around us, making it more permissive, relaxing natural selection, so allowing the affirmation of costly adaptations such as neoteny (the retention of juvenile traits in adults, our developmental secret) and articulated language. Long after, when the last glaciation ended 11.700 years ago, after a long period of trials and errors (intuitive selection of plants for feeding and self-medication, flour production, and so on), some populations of Homo sapiens learned to systematically domesticate plants and animals in several regions of the globe. Today, we think of agriculture as the domain of the “natural”, but actually it was the largest technological experiment in the engineering of terrestrial ecosystems ever done. Some plant and animal species started to produce goods useful to humanity, as of course they would never have done. Artificial selection has radically transformed them, morphologically and genetically. Nevertheless, from their point of view, domesticated plants and animals have cleverly used us humans as vehicles of diffusion. As a result, ecologically and geologically speaking, the Earth has never been the same via technologies. The Anthropocene is an old story.

description: We present a novel approach to perform ground-based estimation and prediction of the surface solar irradiance with the view to predicting photovoltaic energy production. We propose the use of mini-batch k-means clustering to extract features, referred to as per cluster number of pixels (PCNP), from sky images taken by a low-cost fish eye camera. These features are first used to classify the sky as clear or cloudy using a single hidden layer neural network; the classification accuracy achieves 99.7%. If the sky is classified as cloudy, we propose to use a deep neural network having as input features the PCNP to predict intra-hour variability of the solar irradiance. Toward this objective, in this paper, we focus on estimating the deep neural network model relating the PCNP features and the solar irradiance, which is an important step before performing the prediction task. The proposed deep learning-based estimation approach is shown to have an accuracy of 95%.

description: Abstract
Different researches have revealed that Ethiopia has a number of environmentally-related problems that threaten national security. The country loses up to 2-6 percent of annual crop production due to climate uncertainties, with drought being the main national environmental challenge. Ethiopia has a high country risk index of 7.38, one of the highest in Eastern Africa, which underlies a high level of potential risk for conflict, both within the country as well as in the region. Again, Ethiopia has an environmental score of 7.67 which is a high risk level. Generally speaking, therefore, Ethiopia is identified as a hot spot for environmental concern.

description: In this work we studied polymerization-induced self-assembly by means of computer simulations. Using this model, phase diagrams of the micelle states were constructed depending on the polymer concentration and the asymmetry of the composition for various reaction conditions. We found that if the reaction is ideal controlled radical polymerization (the initiation speed is much larger than the propagation speed and there are no side reactions such as termination or chain transfer), the phase diagram is no different from that obtained for pre-synthesized monodisperse diblock-copolymers with one insoluble block. Next, we studied two cases of slow initiation. We found that the phase diagram change dramatically: upon decreasing the initiation speed, the regions of spherical and cylindrical micelles shrink, while the region of vesicles/lamellae expands. This happens because at small initiation speed there is a significant amount of chains with a very short non-soluble block (and even without such block altogether), which do not participate in the formation of micelles. Therefore, decreasing the initiation speed essentially remaps the phase diagram coordinates by making the effective concentration lower (by decreasing the number of active chains) and the effective block length ratio higher (again, because the number of active chains gets higher, while the number of monomers remains the same).

Subjects: Design

description: This paper presents a two-part framework for documenting and disseminating Research through Design (RtD) as a scholarly activity, intended primarily for designers new to scholarly research and students developing Research through Design (RtD) as a mode of inquiry. The first part of the framework provides guidelines for documenting RtD through a Critical Journaling practice, which emphasises chronologically capturing and reflecting on: contextual research, self and peer critique, and regular ‘overview maps’, alongside iterative design processes. The second part argues for disseminating RtD projects through Contextual Portfolios, which situate design artefacts alongside key insights from primary research, innovative design processes, and self and peer critique, in order to explicitly frame contributions to scholarly knowledge. The framework is demonstrated using an ongoing RtD project ‘Endgame’; I show how ‘research data’ drawn from my Critical Journaling practice is used to produce Contextual Portfolios, in order to present the research in different contexts. The paper concludes by highlighting the challenges of demonstrating scholarly rigour underpinning RtD that is ‘equivalent’to traditional scholarly publications and suggests ‘open access peer review’ and an RtD community publishing model, supported by university presses.

description: Technological change and its social implications have in recent years become a topic of intense interest and fierce debate. Human actions are driven by cultural, economic and political forces that have unforeseen consequences and side-effects, as we have recently noticed. Climate related risks for natural and human systems (drought and precipitation deficits; sea level rise; species loss and extinction; health risks, livelihoods, food security, water supply, human security, and economic growth) are reaching higher and higher levels (IPCC, 2019) and we are asked to rethink and redesign ourselves as users of life in close and interrelated familiarity with the environment. This scenario overwhelms us with a sensation of uncertainty, of accelerated times, of technological transformation and rapid social changes that create concern and profound expectations at the same time. This paper will focus on the architectural project as the center of a new debate, able to build complex scientific, social, political and cultural point of views, in a period where the downturn of anthropocentric perspective is radically changing our approach to design, technology and materials given their impact on resources. The question we will try to answer along this paper is mainly: How can we direct our knowledge today so that – as designers – we can re-balance our impact on the planet and literally ‘build’ our future? Of course, there’s no linear and obvious answer.

description: We present a reflective practice where challenges of assembling, making sense of and drawing conclusions from co-created materials were addressed through a process of design synthesis that improved the clarity and meaning making during the interpretation process. In this paper, we illustrate our point by presenting a set of design research artifacts resulting from design synthesis: a manifesto, a scale model, a set of storyboards and illustrated characters. Inspired by the arts and creative practice in other disciplines such as film making, we adapted these methods as a means of transforming participants’ contributions into inspirational resources for interactive design. This process encouraged the production of new creative and active forms of documentation and enabled us to handle interpretation in a way that embraced the inspirational and provisional nature of our creative and participatory processes. By doing so, we broaden the current practice of documentation in design and show how our process of design synthesis can serve the purpose of co-creation. Finally, we encourage design practitioners to adapt and develop design-based methods to filter and externalize insights, making their thinking tangible for them and others so they can be collectively discussed, tested and reflected upon to inspire future ideas.

description: Veganism is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act, but the experience of vegan students is under-researched. Moreover, veganism may intersect with other protected characteristics, for instance when it is informed by student’s religious beliefs. This project addresses this research gap by inviting vegan students to share their experiences in an online focus group, and by exploring how vegans and veganism are represented in a sample of OU social science modules. As respect for nonhuman animals’ experiences is central to veganism, the project will also explore how nonhuman animals are represented in that same sample of OU social science modules.

description: China’s industrial policies in emerging technology industries have received significant criticism due to their inefficient resource allocation and propensity for corruption. The recent failures of Tsinghua Unigroup and Wuhan Hongxin Semiconductor Manufacturing (HSMC), both of which received tremendous state support, are two notable instances of such failed industrial policy in China’s semiconductor industry. Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), however, similarly received vast swaths of state resources, but rather than collapse, SMIC exceeded international expectations with its advancement into 7nm manufacturing despite facing U.S. export restrictions. SMIC’s achievement, although still behind the internationally competitive cutting edge, was notable for the Chinese semiconductor industry, which is dependent on foreign technology at several points along the supply chain. This thesis conducted a regression analysis on financial data from SMIC between 2007 and 2022 that showed government funding had a positive impact on SMIC’s R&D capabilities and asset accumulation. The thesis argues that in light of these positive effects, where many see economic inefficiencies—such as in the failures of Tsinghua Unigroup and HSMC—the Chinese leadership may instead see the ancillary cost of pursuing political economy and national security goals, such as reducing or eliminating China’s foreign semiconductor dependency. This is similar to observations in venture capital markets, where the pursuit of remarkably successful firms inevitably entails the loss of some capital in other, less-promising investments. The notable distinction being that the Chinese leadership’s calculus does not optimize for financial return, but rather for the achievement of political economy goals. Thus, we should adopt a corresponding lens and consider this alternative understanding of the goals of industrial policy in China that redefines measures of “success” as achieving broader political economy and national security objectives rather than attaining economically optimal resource allocation.

description: The effects of rhenium doping in the range 0 to 10 atomic percent on the static and dynamic magnetic properties of Fe65Co35 thin films have been studied experimentally as well as with first principles electronic structure calculations focusing on the change of the saturation magnetization and the Gilbert damping parameter. Both experimental and theoretical results show that the saturation magnetization decreases with increasing Re doping level, while at the same time Gilbert damping parameter increases. The experimental low temperature saturation magnetic induction exhibits a 29 percent decrease, from 2.31 T to 1.64 T, in the investigated doping concentration range, which is more than predicted by the theoretical calculations. The room temperature value of the damping parameter obtained from ferromagnetic resonance measurements, correcting for extrinsic contributions to the damping, is for the undoped sample 0.0027, which is close to the theoretically calculated Gilbert damping parameter. With 10 atomic percent Re doping, the damping parameter increases to 0.0090, which is in good agreement with the theoretical value of 0.0073. The increase in damping parameter with Re doping is explained by the increase in density of states at Fermi level, mostly contributed by the spin-up channel of Re. Moreover, both experimental and theoretical values for the damping parameter are observed to be weakly decreasing with decreasing temperature.

description: Design, through current social transitions, has been invited to stand up and face the multidimensional geopolitical issues of our time. With this emerging demand, designers and researchers are challenging the limits of their discipline. This research project, based on time spent in the Calais Jungle (France’s largest and oldest informal Refugee Camp) reconsiders designer’s role(s) in social and contextual transitions. I realized rapidly on the ground, with much bewilderment, that the role I could have in this specific context as a designer was unbeknown to me. In face of the urgency of the situation, the Jungle’s inhabitants had become autonomous and by no means needed me, as a designer, to dictate their needs. However, it seemed primordial to be a witness to this ever transitional and both spatially and culturally evolving community of refugees who had created this world-town or town of the future. I instinctively used what design toolsI had in order to record this reality, becoming an on the ground design-researcher. I started composing data comprising installations, objects, videos, maps, texts and recordings. This practice, later named docu-design, used design to designate and document a context by materializing realities and creating artifacts in the same manner you would produce proof. Reflecting on this approach, is it possible to determine a way in which design could engage itself socially, culturally and politically, by preparing specific territories in order to act locally-centrically?

description: Non-invasive identification and localization of arrhythmic driving sources using body surface potential mapping (BSPM) can be an important tool for patient’s therapy planning. This study aims to quantify the impact of atrial tachycardia (AT), flutter (AFL) and fibrillation (AF) characterization by reducing the number of BSPM leads. 19 realistic computer simulations with 567 leads (high resolution – HR) have been used to characterize the arrhythmias with respect to the dominant frequency (DF) and phase singularity point (SP) distributions. Data was reshaped to 2D representations, interpolated to 30 x 65 grids and band-pass filtered (fc = 2 and 20 Hz). DF maps were generated combining Welch periodogram and activation detection with wavelet transform modulus maxima in each lead. Phase was obtained with the Hilbert transform on signals filtered around the highest DF (±1 Hz); dynamics of SPs were analyzed using histograms (heatmaps, HM) and connecting SPs along time (filaments). The analyses were reproduced for 6 layouts with 16 to 252 leads and results were compared using different similarity measures and analyzing features extracted from the maps. Although a loss in spatial resolution is observed and individual differences might be large, results from the HR setting are translated to all lead layouts without significant differences.

description: The project Beta maṣāḥǝft: Manuscripts of Ethiopia and Eritrea (Schriftkultur des christlichen Äthiopiens: eine multimediale Forschungsumgebung) is a long-term project that aims at creating a digital research environment for the study of the Ethiopian and Eritrean manuscript culture. Digital catalogue entries of manuscripts, text editions, and other relevant records (e.g. certain persons) are encoded in TEI XML. One of the important outcomes of the project is a systematic description of the literary and non-literary texts attested in the Ethiopian and Eritrean manuscript culture. That implies not only encoding, but the establishing of semantically meaningful relations between the texts. The poster is dedicated to the Ethiopic Psalter of the Virgin und to a strategic proposal of encoding of its structure in TEI XML.

description: We investigate the hexagon formalism in the planar 4d conformal fishnet theory. This theory arises from N=4 SYM by a deformation that preserves both conformal symmetry and integrability. Based on this relation, we obtain the hexagon form factors for a large class of states, including the BMN vacuum, some excited states, and the Lagrangian density. We apply these form factors to the computation of several correlators and match the results with direct Feynman diagrammatic calculations. We also study the renormalisation of the hexagon form factor expansion for a family of diagonal structure constants and test the procedure at higher orders through comparison with a known universal formula for the Lagrangian insertion.

The discovery of a fractal regime proves the reality and consistency of critical-phenomena scenario as a model for dissipation in inhomogeneous and disordered HTS, gives the experimentally-based value of the relevant finite-size scaling exponent and offers some interesting new guidelines to the problem of pairing mechanisms in HTS.

description: Full Force deliverable. This task objective is to investigate the spread of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in horses in Europe. The focus will be on blaCTX-M-1 and blaSHV-12 genes. To date, isolates carrying blaCTX-M-1 predominate in horses. This is due to clonal dissemination as well as the spread of closely-related IncHI1 plasmids. The success of this plasmid gene combination might be due to the fact that the IncHI1 plasmid also carries the fos-operon, involved in the metabolism of fructo-oligosaccharides, which could give the plasmid a selective advantage in the gut of the horse. The combination IncHI1+ blaCTX-M-1 appears to be almost exclusively linked to horses. Less is known of the epidemiology of blaSHV-12, which is often associated with IncX3-plasmids. In total around 200 isolates from horses, both commensals and clinical isolates, from different parts of Europe will be included to investigate clonal and horizontal transmission. The inventory of available isolates among participanting partners is completed (n=264). All short-read sequences have been uploaded to owncloud, raw reads are assembled and the plasmidome determined/filtered. The plasmidome is comprised out of 8 clusters.

description: We present Monte Carlo simulations of surface induced disordering in a model of a binary alloy on a bcc lattice which undergoes a first order bulk transition from the ordered DO3 phase to the disordered A2 phase. The data are analyzed in terms of an effective interface Hamiltonian for a system with several order parameters in the framework of the linear renormalization approach due to Brezin, Halperin and Leibler. We show that the model provides a good description of the system in the vicinity of the interface. In particular, we recover the logarithmic divergence of the thickness of the disordered layer as the bulk transition is approached, we calculate the critical behavior of the maxima of the layer susceptibilities, and demonstrate that it is in reasonable agreement with the simulation data. Directly at the (110) surface, the theory predicts that all order parameters vanish continuously at the surface with a nonuniversal, but common critical exponent. However, we find different exponents for the order parameter of the DO3 phase and the order parameter of the B2 phase. Using the effective interface model, we derive the finite size scaling function for the surface order parameter and show that the theory accounts well for the finite size behavior of the DO3 ordering but not for that of B2 ordering. The situation is even more complicated in the neighborhood of the (100) surface, due to the presence of an ordering field which couples to the B2 order.

description: We investigate the weakly nonlinear dynamics of transient gravity waves at infinite depth under the influence of a shear current varying linearly with depth. An analytical solution is permitted via integration of the Euler equations. Although similar problems were investigated in the 1960's and 70's for special cases of resonance, this is to our knowledge the first general wave interaction (mode coupling) solution derived to second order with a shear current present. Wave interactions are integrable in a spectral convolution to yield the second order dynamics of initial value problems. To second order, irrotational wave dynamics interacts with the background vorticity field in a way that creates new vortex structures. A notable example is the large parallel vortices which drive Langmuir circulation as oblique plane waves interact with an ocean current. We also investigate the effect on wave pairs which are misaligned with the shear current. In contrast to a conjecture by Leibovich (1983) we find similar, but skewed, vortex structures in every case except when the mean wave direction is perpendicular to the direction of the current. Similar nonlinear wave-shear interactions are found to also generate near-field vortex structures in the Cauchy-Poisson problem with an initial surface elevation. These interactions create further groups of dispersive ring waves in addition to those present in linear theory. The second order solution is derived in a general manner which accommodates any initial condition through mode coupling over a continuous wave spectrum. It is therefore applicable to a range of problems including special cases of resonance. As a by--product of the general theory, a simple expression for the Stokes drift due to a monochromatic wave propagating at oblique angle with a current of uniform vorticity is derived, for the first time to our knowledge.

description: The neotribe is a sociological concept which postulates the return of tribes in a contemporary form. French sociologist Michel Maffesoli sees them as an emotional community, sometimes ephemeral, changeable in composition and which often lacks organisation and routinisation, in contrast to the original form of a tribe. This paper reflects on three interactive design projects made to test this theory, undertaken in 2017 and 2018. The projects were developed around three tribes: the People’s Fridge, the Freegans in Brixton (London) and the Tuskers on the EVE Online game. These groups are of interest because of their strong purpose and shared values. The notion of emergence is of particular interest in their development as it unites ethnographic and design approaches. This paper explores the research (divergence) and the making process (convergence). The research engages with theory and object analysis as catalysers. Finally, the process allows us to explore concepts such as DIY citizenship, the gift economy, values in an online game community and critique the notion of ‘smart’ in the Internet of Things. Hence, we hope this methodology allows more designers to contribute to a subject that goes beyond practice.

description: Recently there has been a debate concerning the universal properties of the phase transition in the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) $2A\to 3A, 2A\to \emptyset$. Although some of the critical exponents seem to coincide with those of the so-called parity-conserving universality class, it was suggested that the PCPD might represent an independent class of phase transitions. This point of view is motivated by the argument that the PCPD does not conserve parity of the particle number. In the present work we pose the question what happens if the parity conservation law is restored. To this end we consider the the reaction-diffusion process $2A\to 4A, 2A\to \emptyset$. Surprisingly this process displays the same type of critical behavior, leading to the conclusion that the most important characteristics of the PCPD is the use of binary reactions for spreading, regardless of whether parity is conserved or not.

description: Through describing ‘Blueprints’, a series of fabric collages, we detail a method for translating physical properties of objects into digital materialities of media compilations. This method has emerged within a piece of design research seeking to develop new ways to curate digital media to support ongoingness. The project context centres on working firstly with people who have a life limiting illness, secondly people living with an early stage of dementia and thirdly people who are bereaved. Ongoingness is a theoretical construct denoting an active dialogical component of ‘continued bonds’, which is an approach within bereavement care championing practices that enable a continued sense of connection between someone bereaved and a person who has died.
‘Blueprints’ are fabric collages made from scraps of fabric symbolising digital media (in this case photographs) from 2 people – one bereaved and one now deceased. The physical qualities that result from making the fabric collages (variation in layerings, thicknesses, stitching, fraying) each map onto directions for how the corresponding digital media will be composed in a compilation, and serves as a collaborative method of curating media in new ways. The ‘Blueprints’ method enables us to research if and how physical making of things can serve as a gentle way to engage with the complexities of media curation. It considers the potential value of indirect ways of curating digital media to enable ongoing connections between people through the unexpected compilations that the method creates.

description: The Georgia-07-like genotype II African swine fever virus (ASFV) with high virulence has been prevalent in China since 2018. Here, we report that genotype I ASFVs have now also emerged in China. Two non-haemadsorbing genotype I ASFVs, HeN/ZZ-P1/21 and SD/DY-I/21, were isolated from pig farms in Henan and Shandong province, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the whole genome sequences suggested that both isolates share high similarity with NH/P68 and OURT88/3, two genotype I ASFVs isolated in Portugal in the last century. Animal challenge testing revealed that SD/DY-I/21 shows low virulence and efficient transmissibility in pigs, and causes mild onset of infection and chronic disease. SD/DY-I/21 was found to cause necrotic skin lesions and joint swelling. The emergence of genotype I ASFVs will present more problems and challenges for the control and prevention of African swine fever in China.

description: Solemaker research is a collection of four RtD projects related to personalized shoemaking. Across these projects, we created 272 material samples that explore how to make shoes that are digitally fabricated for the individual. This shoe personalization system utilised soft materials, 3D printing, digital embroidery, laser cutting and our own digital tools. Achieving Solemaker meant hundreds of material samples for only a few research products; all were algorithmically generated. Our work exemplifies a change in making and craft practices through digital fabrication. In design theory, this is encapsulated in a model of digital personalization known as Ultra Personalized Product Service (UPPS). To investigate these links in the context of our material and making approach, we compared our hybrid craft practise to the model of UPPS using a system of physical boxes. We unpacked our work into boxes representing the model. This afforded ways to map projects together by means of a common language. This resulted in previously unseen connections, new understandings of the theoretical model, and new enabling transitions between model pillars. We present our unpacking “material sample boxing” process, a refined definition of the model, and the “physicalised” enabling transitions between the UPPS model stages.
