Gilded Age Visual Media as the Impetus for Social Change: Jacob Riis's Reform Photography and the Antecedents of Documentary Film
Creators: name: Yotova, Denitsa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: This thesis examines the birth and evolution of the social documentary genre in visual media. It proposes that a mixture of ideology, technology, and social awareness are necessary for a successful social reform. Its review and study of related primary and secondary sources determines that despite the limitations of technology during the nineteenth century, social documentaries were produced long before they were part of the genres of photography and film. By focusing on the work of Danish photographer Jacob Riis and tracing the emergence of the film medium through time, this thesis demonstrates a strong connection between documentary film and Riis's social documentary photography and public slide exhibitions. The thesis supports the idea that in order to understand the present, one must study the past, and in these terms, Riis's work should be viewed as one of the chief precursors of the social documentary genre in visual media. Ultimately, the thesis determines the importance of the role of visual documentary in society, the idea that it anchors historical and collective memory, and its history is still relevant to the twenty-first century.

description: The instability of standard money demand functions has undermined the role of monetary aggregates for monetary policy analysis in the euro area. This paper uses country-specific monetary aggregates to shed more light on the economics behind the instability of euro area money demand. Our results obtained from panel estimation indicate that the observed instability of standard money demand functions could be explained by omitted variables like e.g. technological progress that are important for money demand but constant across member countries.

Wage and employment effects of non-binding minimum wages

description: Common wisdom holds that the introduction of a non-binding minimum wage is irrelevant for actual wages and employment. Empirical and experimental research, however, has shown that the introduction of a minimum wage can raise even those wages that were already above the new minimum wage. In this paper, we analyze how these findings can be explained by theoretical wage bargaining models between unions and firms. While the Nash bargaining solution is unaffected by minimum wages below initially bargained wages, we show that such minimum wages can drive up wages – and be harmful to employment – when bargaining follows the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution.

description: UAV-based intelligent data acquisition for 3D reconstruction and monitoring of infrastructure has experienced an increasing surge of interest due to recent advancements in image processing and deep learning-based techniques. View planning is an essential part of this task that dictates the information capture strategy and heavily impacts the quality of the 3D model generated from the captured data. Recent methods have used prior knowledge or partial reconstruction of the target to accomplish view planning for active reconstruction; the former approach poses a challenge for complex or newly identified targets while the latter is computationally expensive. In this work, we present Bag-of-Views (BoV), a fully appearance-based model used to assign utility to the captured views for both offline dataset refinement and online next-best-view (NBV) planning applications targeting the task of 3D reconstruction. With this contribution, we also developed the View Planning Toolbox (VPT), a lightweight package for training and testing machine learning-based view planning frameworks, custom view dataset generation of arbitrary 3D scenes, and 3D reconstruction. Through experiments which pair a BoV-based reinforcement learning model with VPT, we demonstrate the efficacy of our model in reducing the number of required views for high-quality reconstructions in dataset refinement and NBV planning.

description: We have developed a mathematical model for in-host virus dynamics that includes spatial chemotaxis and diffusion across a two dimensional surface representing the vaginal or rectal epithelium at primary HIV infection. A linear stability analysis of the steady state solutions identified conditions for Turing instability pattern formation. We have solved the model equations numerically using parameter values obtained from previous experimental results for HIV infections. Simulations of the model for this surface show hot spots of infection. Understanding this localization is an important step in the ability to correctly model early HIV infection. These spatial variations also have implications for the development and effectiveness of microbicides against HIV.

description: This paper proposes a model that can be implemented to estimate the willingness to pay for distributive justice, defined as distribution according to desert. We derive a formula that allows one to recover the willingness to pay for distributive justice from fiscal data and the estimated coefficients of a probit regression. Using this formula and data from a 1998 Gallup Social Audit, we find that on average the monetary value of justice forUS households amounts to about one fifth of their disposable income. Moreover, we find evidence of markedly heterogeneous preferences for justice along the lines of race and education.

description: We introduce the perturbative $\hbar$-power series ($\hbar$ = Planck constant) providing the algebraic solutions of $D=4$ quantum Snyder and Yang models which describe relativistic quantum space-times and Lorentz-covariant quantum phase spaces. We argue that if in these series the zero order ($\hbar $-independent) terms are non-vanishing they describe the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) parameters of Lie-algebraic symmetries which characterize the considered models ($D=4$ dS symmetry in Snyder and $D=5$ dS symmetry in Yang cases). The consecutive terms in $\hbar$-power series can be calculated explicitly if we supplement the SSB order parameters (Nambu-Goldstone or NG modes) by dual set of commutative momenta, which together define the canonical tensorial Heisenberg algebra.

description: This paper provides textual evidence of Keynes’s writing and composing on issues which are linked to philosophy, moral science and economics. As a philosopher Keynes was concerned with contemporary discussion on knowledge, probability, judgment and methods of reasoning. He participated in the Bloomsbury Group. He developed a distinct view on ethics, egoism, individual and conventional judgment, animal spirits and responsibility. He denied that expectations can be reduced to mathematical calculation. He developed ways to theorize about uncertainty, confidence and the future. The project Keynes as a philosopher is of great importance in English-and French-speaking discourses. Unfortunately it has not been received and recognized in German discourses.

description: There are many studies regarding stop the progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D) through dietary control but there is no global recommendation for a specific diet. The strongest evidence is weight control through nutritional education but it does not include elderly people because of the risk of malnutrition that would entail. Therefore, the search for specific foods that can help slow down the progress towards T2D are of great interest. Although the controversy between fish consumption and the risk of developing T2D, it has been observed that oily fish could play a protective role. This type of fish may contain large amounts of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) but, on the contrary, contain omega-3 with effects on the cardiovascular system. In addition, the presence of taurine, a semi-essential amino acid very present in oily fish and which has been studied its antidiabetogenic effect, could play an essential role in the protective effect of this type of fish against T2D. Among them, the one with the highest concentrations of omega-3 and taurine as well as low concentration of POPs is sardine. An integrative review of observational studies and clinical trials was performed to investigate the association between sardine consumption and T2D prevention.
title: Borderlands
Creators: name: Appleton, Sarah K.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
The creative nonfiction essays in Borderlands explore family, self, memory, dream, and other liminal spaces. The critical concept of writing the body, as it is explored by feminist theorists such as Hélène Cixous, is enacted in these essays through both form and content, particularly in the interplay—or borderland—between mind and body. While some of these essays take a traditional form, other essays are more lyrical in nature, which can be seen in the juxtaposition of fragmented sections that construct a nonlinear narrative. The development of the author’s voice can be tracked through scene and dialogue, original language, and source work—all elements of craft that tie the author into a larger legacy of female writers writing as a transgressive, disruptive act. Some writers who have informed this work are Anne Carson, Leslie Jamison, Ander Monson, Maggie Nelson, Virginia Woolf, and others. Bracketed by essays about two different dead bodies, the borderlands in between examine and question the writer’s growth as a person and lay bare troubling uncertainties.

description: There has been mixed evidence regarding the existence of rational bubbles in the foreign exchange markets. Standard unit root and cointegration tests are criticized for their low power to detect rational bubbles that periodically collapse. This paper introduces recently developed sequential unit root tests into the analysis of exchange rates bubbles. Our results show that explosiveness in the nominal Sterling-dollar exchange rates is fully explained by the relative prices of traded goods.

description: We employ a neoclassical growth model to assess the impact of financial liberalization in a developing country on capital owners` and workers` consumption and welfare. We find in a baseline calibration for an average non- OECD country that capitalists suffer a 42 percent reduction in permanent consumption because capital inflows reduce their return to capital while workers gain 8 percent of permanent con- sumption because capital inflows increase wages. These huge gross impacts contrast with the small positive net effect found in a neoclas- sical represent agent model by Gourinchas and Jeanne (2006). We further show that the result for capitalists is insensitive to enhanced productivity catch-up processes induced by capital inflows. Our find- ings can help explain why poorer countries tend to be less financially open as capitalists` losses are largest for countries with the lowest capital stocks, inducing strong opposition to capital market opening.
title: Three Languages, One Nation: Trilingualism and National Identity in England, From the Mid-Twelfth to the Early Fourteenth Century
Creators: name: Anderson, Christopher
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2015

description:
The present study examines the question of pre-modern national identity and its association with language in medieval England from the mid-twelfth to early fourteenth century, particularly the use of language to express collective identity. In doing so, the use and meaning associated with the three languages of medieval England (English, French, and Latin) are explored through an interdisciplinary approach, using typical historical sources, while also drawing on primary and secondary source material from literary history. Chapter one looks at the changing and reshaping of English national identity following the Norman Conquest of 1066, focusing on assimilation and identity conflict from the mid-twelfth to the early thirteenth century. It concludes by illustrating the development of a collective English identity, the sense of which shared a commonality presented by writers in all three languages. In this chapter, each language is treated separately so as to examine the specific social, cultural, and political associations with the languages and how they inform on matters of identity formation and change over time. The second chapter focuses on the personal reign of Henry III and the baronial reforms and rebellions of the 1260s. Here, the questions of national identity and the meaning of being an Englishman are examined through primary sources written in all three languages of England. Through this, the chapter highlights a moment in the 1260s that represents the collectiveness of the English nation represented in terms of a shared commonality, primarily through a shared history, culture, and customs, but also through their shared English language. The third and final chapter explores changes to English national identity present in the three languages in the reign of Edward I (r. 1272-1307). During his reign, French and Latin writers increasingly expressed their English national identity through the “otherness” of the peoples that surrounded them: most important for this study the French, Welsh, and Scots. In comparison, English vernacular writers began to frame their own sense of English national identity by way of social division, represented by status and education. What is termed the “divided community” is examined through the reading of French and Latin chronicles that speak to the separation of the English people through imperialist conquests as the hallmark of national identity, and English vernacular sources which illustrate an internal separateness, one that is not new, but different from the division present after the Norman Conquest. Overall, the study highlights the discrepant experience of English national identity during the period and how the choice of using one language over the other two implied and actively emphasized different senses of English identity.

CANDECOMP/PARAFAC Decomposition of High-order Tensors Through Tensor Reshaping

description: In general, algorithms for order-3 CANDECOMP/-PARAFAC (CP), also coined canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD), are easily to implement and can be extended to higher order CPD. Unfortunately, the algorithms become computationally demanding, and they are often not applicable to higher order and relatively large scale tensors. In this paper, by exploiting the uniqueness of CPD and the relation of a tensor in Kruskal form and its unfolded tensor, we propose a fast approach to deal with this problem. Instead of directly factorizing the high order data tensor, the method decomposes an unfolded tensor with lower order, e.g., order-3 tensor. On basis of the order-3 estimated tensor, a structured Kruskal tensor of the same dimension as the data tensor is then generated, and decomposed to find the final solution using fast algorithms for the structured CPD. In addition, strategies to unfold tensors are suggested and practically verified in the paper.

description: Graph databases (GDBs) are crucial in academic and industry applications. The key challenges in developing GDBs are achieving high performance, scalability, programmability, and portability. To tackle these challenges, we harness established practices from the HPC landscape to build a system that outperforms all past GDBs presented in the literature by orders of magnitude, for both OLTP and OLAP workloads. For this, we first identify and crystallize performance-critical building blocks in the GDB design, and abstract them into a portable and programmable API specification, called the Graph Database Interface (GDI), inspired by the best practices of MPI. We then use GDI to design a GDB for distributed-memory RDMA architectures. Our implementation harnesses one-sided RDMA communication and collective operations, and it offers architecture-independent theoretical performance guarantees. The resulting design achieves extreme scales of more than a hundred thousand cores. Our work will facilitate the development of next-generation extreme-scale graph databases.

description: Institutions matter greatly in the development of competitive advantage. Different institutional strategies to manipulate and shape institutions are discussed in the literature. This paper aims at extending the existing conceptual model of membership strategy. Despite being referenced frequently, the concept of membership strategy is not well developed. This is surprising because what is referred to as membership strategy has become very popular in various industries. We propose and develop a theoretical model that explains a firm’s opportunity to protect itself against dominant institutional pressures and, additionally, to create competitive advantage by implementing a consumer centric membership strategy. Practical examples are discussed to clarify theoretical interrelationships. The main illustrative case focuses on Blizzard Entertainment, an American developer and publisher of video games.

description: This paper studies investment incentives in the steady state of a dynamic bilateral matching market. Because of search frictions, both parties in a match are partially locked-in when they bargain over the joint surplus from their sunk investments. The associated holdup problem depends on market conditions and is more important for the long side of the market. In the case of investments in homogenous capital only the agents on the short side acquire ownership of capital. There is always underinvestment on both sides of the market. But when market frictions become negligible, the equilibrium investment levels tend towards the first-best.

description: Τα Κολοκάσια είναι ένας εγκαταλελειμμένος οικισμός του νομού Σφακίων , ο οποίος βρίσκεται στην έξοδο του φαραγγιού της Ασφένδου, βόρεια του χωριού Άγιος Νεκτάριος σε υψόμετρο 245 μ. Η παλαιότερη αναφορά στον οικισμό εντοπίζεται κατά την αιγυπτιακή απογραφή του 1834. Ο οικισμός χτίζεται στην είσοδο του ομώνυμου φαραγγιού, με την πρόσβαση σε περίπτωση κινδύνου στη θάλασσα αλλά και στο βουνό να καθίσταται ευκολότερη. Η ιδιαίτερη αυτή θέση του, παρείχε προστασία από πειρατές και κατακτητές. Μέχρι και να εγκαταληφθεί, το 1974, αποτελεί χειμερινό οικισμό του ορεινού χωριού Άσφενδος, γεγονός που διαμορφώνει καθοριστικά τόσο τη δομή του, όσο και τη καθημερινή ζωή των κατοίκων του. Σήμερα, τα περισσότερα σπίτια είναι εγκαταλελειμμένα ενώ ορισμένα έχουν αποκατασταθεί για παραθερισμό.
Ο οικισμός έχει πανοραμική θέα στον κάμπο του Φραγκοκάστελλου και η ανάπτυξή του είναι αμφιθεατρική, άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένη με την ιδιαίτερη μορφολογία της περιοχής, η οποία παρουσιάζει έντονες υψομετρικές διαφορές. Τα πέτρινα κτίσματα είναι κρυμμένα ανάμεσα σε παλιούς ελαιώνες καθιστώντας δύσκολη την ορατότητα τους ακόμα και απο κοντινή απόσταση. Η οργάνωση του δεν είναι συμπαγής, αλλά συγκροτείται από επιμέρους γειτονιές. Τα κτίσματα αποτελούν ζωντανό παράδειγμα της λιτής παραδοσιακής αρχιτεκτονικής των Σφακίων, εφόσον πρόκειται κατα κύριο λόγο για καμαρόσπιτα που αρθρώνονται μεταξύ τους, δημιουργώντας πολύπλοκα συμπλέγματα κατοικιών.
Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία επιδιώκει να συμβάλλει σε έναν ανοιχτό διάλογο ως προς την σύγχρονη παραγωγική διαδικασία σε σχέση με το δευτερογενή τομέα και τον τρόπο διάθεσης των τοπικών προϊόντων. Με γνώμονα, λοιπόν, την άρρηκτη σύνδεση της ζωής των κατοίκων του οικισμού αλλά και της ευρύτερης περιοχής των Σφακίων, με την αγροτική και κτηνοτροφική δραστηριότητα, προτείνεται η δημιουργία σύγχρονων μεταποιητικών μονάδων, με την ανέγερση νέων κτισμάτων, αλλά και την αποκατάσταση των ήδη υφιστάμενων κελυφών.

description: NGC 7793 - S26 is an extended source (350 pc $\times$ 185 pc) previously studied in the radio, optical and x-ray domains. It has been identified as a micro-quasar which has inflated a super bubble. We used Integral Field Spectra from the Wide Field Spectrograph on the ANU 2.3 m telescope to analyse spectra between 3600--7000 Å. This allowed us to derive fluxes and line ratios for selected nebular lines. Applying radiative shock model diagnostics, we estimate shock velocities, densities, radiative ages and pressures across the object. We show that S26 is just entering its radiative phase, and that the northern and western regions are dominated by partially-radiative shocks due to a lower density ISM in these directions. We determine a velocity of expansion along the jet of 330 km s$^{-1}$, and a velocity of expansion of the bubble in the minor axis direction of 132 km s$^{-1}$. We determine the age of the structure to be $4.1\times10^5$ yr, and the jet energy flux to be $ (4-10)\times10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$ The jet appears to be collimated within $\sim0.25$ deg, and to undergo very little precession. If the relativistic $β\sim 1/3$, then some 4 M$_{\odot}$ of relativistic matter has already been processed through the jet. We conclude that the central object in S26 is probably a Black Hole with a mass typical of the ultra-luminous X-ray source population which is currently consuming a fairly massive companion through Roche Lobe accretion.

Flavor-dependent $U(1)$ extension inspired by lepton, baryon and color numbers

description: There is no reason why the gauge symmetry extension is family universal as in the standard model and the most well-motivated models, e.g. left-right symmetry and grand unification. Hence, we propose a simplest extension of the standard model -- a flavor-dependent $U(1)$ gauge symmetry -- and find the new physics insight. For this aim, the $U(1)$ charge, called $X$, is expressed as $X=x B+y L$ in which $x$ and $y$ are free parameters as functions of flavor index, e.g. for a flavor $i$ they take $x_i$ and $y_i$ respectively, where $B$ and $L$ denote normal baryon and lepton numbers. Imposing a relation involved by the color number $3$, i.e. $-x_{1,2,\cdots,n}=x_{n+1,n+2,\cdots,n+m}=3y_{1,2,\cdots,n+m}\equiv 3z$, for arbitrarily nonzero $z$, we achieve a novel $U(1)$ theory with implied $X$-charge. This theory not only explains the origin of the number of observed fermion families but also offers a possible solution for both neutrino mass and dark matter, which differs from $B-L$ extension. Two typical models based on this idea are examined, yielding interesting results for flavor-changing neutral currents and particle colliders, besides those of neutrino mass and dark matter.

Constraining the jet composition of GRB 221009A with the prompt TeV emission limit

description: Recent LHAASO observations of the prompt emission phase of the brightest-of-all-time GRB 221009A imposes a stringent limit on the flux ratio between the TeV and MeV emissions, $F_{\rm TeV}/F_{\rm MeV}\le 2\times10^{-5}$, during the period $220 \operatorname{-}230\, {\rm s}$ after the trigger. bf This period covers the peak of the main MeV burst and is just before the TeV afterglow emerges. Within the framework of internal shocks, we study the internal $γγ$ absorption in GRB 221009A by generating a set of synthetic bursts in a simulation that reproduces the observed feature of GRB 221009A. We find that the $γγ$ absorption does not lead to an exponential cutoff, but rather a power-law spectrum, consistent with previous works. We further find that the attenuation due to $γγ$ absorption alone cannot explain the flux limit ratio of GRB 221009A, suggesting a low ratio between synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) and synchrotron emission outputs. This requires the magnetic field energy density to be much larger than the synchrotron photon energy density so that the SSC flux is greatly suppressed. This indicates that the jet composition of GRB 221009A is likely Poynting-flux-dominated.

"On the Altar of Sectarianism": Orson Murray's Anti-Biblical Thought and the American Anti-Slavery Society, 1833-1863
Creators: name: Howard, James Carson
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: My thesis focuses on the abolitionist movement in America through the lens of forgotten abolitionist, Orson S. Murray. Murray was an original member of the American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS) and was editor of the Vermont Baptists' denominational newspaper from 1835-1843. Like other abolitionists, Murray used the press as his pulpit to facilitate abolitionist thought with a Christian influence. Murray's use of the press to circulate his abolitionist thought was however understood by the Vermont Baptist Committee as an agitating disruption toward the unity of the broader Baptist community. After Murray's informal excommunication, it increased his skepticism of religion and caused him to abandon the Christian faith. Subsequently, Murray rebuked Christianity and increasingly critiqued the Bible as fallible document unfit as platform for members of the AASS. For the remainder of Murray's life, he advocated abolitionists must abandon the Bible as a moral platform for abolition. Murray's story reveals unnoticed nuances about both denominational schisms and the Bible as source of contention within the AASS. With Murray as a lens, we understand the effect denominational schisms had on the AASS and their inevitable turn toward the popularization of moderate anti-slavery sentiments. Murray's exemplary doubt of Christianity helps scholars of the abolitionist movement understand the AASS in a different light. Focusing on the AASS and the sacrifices they made throughout the movement, we understand broader anti-slavery movement as inconsistent and non-linear.

description: We investigated the thermal conductivity of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along thin Au and Ag films on a SiO$_2$ substrate with a Ti adhesive layer. To determine the propagation length and skin depth of SPPs along Au and Ag thin films, we numerically solved the dispersion relation while considering the size effect of the permittivity of metal. Additionally, we derived the spatial distribution of SPPs along the film thickness to analyze the effect of the Ti adhesive layer on the plasmon thermal conductivity of Au and Ag thin films. Our theoretical predictions revealed a decrease of approximately 30\% in plasmon thermal conductivity when considering the size effect of the permittivity of thin metal films. Furthermore, this causes the film thickness at which maximum thermal conductivity occurs to increase by about 30\%. Taking these factors into account, we calculated the optimal thickness of Au and Ag films, along with Ti adhesive layers, on SiO$_2$ substrates to be approximately 20 nm. By fabricating a sample with the optimal thickness of Au and Ag films, we experimentally demonstrated that the plasmon thermal conductivity of Au and Ag films can be as high as about 20\% of their electron contribution. This research will broaden the thermal design applications of ballistic thermal transport by SPPs propagating along thin metal coatings in microelectronics.

description: This study dates business cycles in 10 European countries, the United States, and Japan between 1925 and 1936. The aim is to establish a consistent dating of the world economic crisis, which is a precondition for understanding the sharp economic decline in many countries during the interwar period. Three approaches were applied that are common in business cycle dating. First, a deskriptive analysis infers on recessions based on the two-consecutive quarters approach often associated with the US National Bureau of Economic Research. Second, the time series is decomposed into trend and cycle using the Hodrick-Prescott (1980) filter. The third approach is to use Markov-regime switching models, which was proposed by Hamilton (1989) for such purposes. The results of confirm that the Great Depression was a global phenomenon, not limited to the US or Germany. Business cycle comovement in the interwar period is at a level comparable to the post- WWII period. This finding points at the contribution of international business cycle integration to the course of the decline in single countries.

First law of thermodynamics and entropy of FLRW universe in modified gravity
Creators: name: Sebastiani, Lorenzo

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the first law of thermodynamics and entropy associated to the apparent horizon of (non-flat) FLRW space-time in different theories of modified gravity and in the presence of a perfect fluid of matter. We pose our attention on those theories which lead to second order differential field equations on FLRW background. In this way, we observe that one may obtain a formula for entropy in terms of the radius of the apparent horizon only. Thus, when considering a modification to the area law of General Relativity, it is possible to reconstruct the gravitational lagrangian consistent with the corresponding first law.

description: We examine physicists' charge of ad hocness against the Higgs mechanism in the standard model of elementary particle physics. We argue that even though this charge never rested on a clear-cut and well-entrenched definition of "ad hoc", it is based on conceptual and methodological assumptions and principles that are well-founded elements of the scientific practice of high-energy particle physics. We further evaluate the implications of the recent discovery of a Higgs-like particle at the CERN's Large Hadron Collider for the charge of ad hocness against the Higgs mechanism.

description: In recent years, fiscal performance in Central Europe has steadily deteriorated, in contrast to the improvement in the Baltics. This paper explores the determinants of such differences among countries on the path to EU accession. Regression estimates suggest that economic and institutional fundamentals do not provide a full explanation. An alternative explanation lies in the political economy of the accession process, and a game-theoretic model illustrates why a country with a stronger bargaining position might have an incentive to deviate from convergence to the Maastricht criteria. The model generates alternative fiscal policy regimes—allowing for regime shifts—depending on country characteristics and EU policies.

description: Anomalous resonances in properly shaped plasmonic nanostructures can in principle lead to infinite absorption/gain efficiencies over broad bandwidths. By developing a closed-form analytical solution for the fields scattered by conjoined semicircles, we outline the fundamental physics behind these phenomena, associated with broadband adiabatic focusing of surface plasmons at the nanoscale. We are able to justify the apparent paradox of finite absorption/gain in the limit of infinitesimally small material loss/gain, and we explore the potential of these phenomena in nonlinear optics, spasing, energy-harvesting and sensing.
