description: Hadronic decays of the highly excited $2D$ $D_s$ resonances have been studied in the $^3P_0$ model. Widths of all possible hadronic decay channels of the $2D$ $D_s$ have been computed. $D^*_{s1}(2700)$, $D^*_{s1}(2860)$, $D^*_{s3}(2860)$, $D(2600)$ and $D(2750)$ can be produced from hadronic decays of the $2D$ $D_s$, and relevant hadronic decay widths have been particularly paid attention to. The hadronic decay widths of $2D$ $D_s$ to $D(2600)$ or $D(2750)$ may be large, and the numerical results are different in different assignments of $D(2600)$ and $D(2750)$. The hadronic decay widths of $2D$ $D_s$ to $D^*_{s1}(2860)$, $D^*_{s3}(2860)$ or $D^*_{s1}(2700)$ are very small, and different in different assignments of $D^*_{s1}(2700)$.

description: We report the results obtained from the optical polarimetric study of the light scattered by comets C/2013 V1 (Boattini) and 290P/Jager at lower phase angles. The polarimetric observations of two comets have been performed with the 1.04-m Sampurnanand telescope of Aryabhatta Research Institute of observational sciencES near Nainital in India on 2013 December 4 and 5 and on 2014 April 24 using R photometric band ($λ$ = 630 nm, $Δ$$λ$ =120nm). We covered observations in both the pre and post perihelion passage of comets C/2013 V1 (Boattini) and 290P/Jager at two phase angles $\sim$ 13$^\circ$ and 27$^\circ$. The degree of polarization changes from ($-1.4$$\pm 0.3$)per cent to (+2.8$\pm 0.5$)per cent for comet C/2013 V1 (Boattini) and ($-1.6$$\pm 0.5$)per cent to (+2.5$\pm 0.5$)per cent for comet 290P/Jager at phase angles $\sim$ 13$^\circ$ and 27$^\circ$ respectively. The change in the physical properties of cometary dust is being well studied from the polarization maps obtained for both the period of observations. It is found that the aperture polarization values are comparable to those of other comets. The variation in the brightness profile of both the comets from the standard canonical nature is also being observed in both the solar and anti-solar direction during this phase which suggests the various physical evolution influencing the cometary comae.

description: The K1 gene of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a 46-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that possesses transforming properties, initiates signaling pathways in B cells, and prevents apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate a mechanism for activation of the K1 promoter by the Rta transactivator. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) analysis of the K1 promoter demonstrated that purified Rta protein bound to the K1 promoter at three locations, independent of other DNA-binding factors. Transcriptional assays revealed that only two of these Rta DNA-binding sites are functionally significant, and that they could impart Rta responsiveness to a heterologous E4 TATA box promoter. In addition, TATA-binding protein (TBP) bound to a TATA box element located 25 bp upstream of the K1 transcription start site and was also shown to associate with Rta by coimmunoprecipitation analysis. Rta transactivation may therefore be mediated in part through recruitment of TBP to target promoters.

description: Reflection gratings enable light coupling to optical cavities without transmission through substrates. Gratings that have three ports and are mounted in second-order Littrow configuration even allow the coupling to high-finesse cavities using low diffraction efficiencies. In contrast to conventional transmissive cavity couplers, however, the phase of the diffracted light depends on the lateral position of the grating, which introduces an additional noise coupling. Here we experimentally demonstrate that this kind of noise cancels out once both diffracted output ports of the grating are combined. We achieve the same signal-to-shot-noise ratio as for a conventional coupler. From this perspective, 3-port grating couplers in second-order Littrow configuration remain a valuable approach to reducing optical absorption of cavity coupler substrates in future gravitational wave detectors.

description: We show that an arbitrary spatial distribution of complex refractive index inside an object can be exactly represented as a sum of two "monomorphous" complex distributions, i.e. the distributions with the ratios of the real part to the imaginary part being constant throughout the object. A priori knowledge of constituent materials can be used to estimate the global lower and upper boundaries for this ratio. This approach can be viewed as an extension of the successful phase-retrieval method, based on the Transport of Intensity equation, that was previously developed for monomorphous (homogeneous) objects, such as e.g. objects consisting of a single material. We demonstrate that the monomorphous decomposition can lead to more stable methods for phase retrieval using the Transport of Intensity Equation. Such methods may find application in quantitative in-line phase-contrast imaging and phase-contrast tomography.

description: In two recent papers [N. Aizawa, Y. Kimura, J. Segar, J. Phys. A 46 (2013) 405204] and [N. Aizawa, Z. Kuznetsova, F. Toppan, J. Math. Phys. 56 (2015) 031701], representation theory of the centrally extended l-conformal Galilei algebra with half-integer l has been applied so as to construct second order differential equations exhibiting the corresponding group as kinematical symmetry. It was suggested to treat them as the Schrodinger equations which involve Hamiltonians describing dynamical systems without higher derivatives. The Hamiltonians possess two unusual features, however. First, they involve the standard kinetic term only for one degree of freedom, while the remaining variables provide contributions linear in momenta. This is typical for Ostrogradsky's canonical approach to the description of higher derivative systems. Second, the Hamiltonian in the second paper is not Hermitian in the conventional sense. In this work, we study the classical limit of the quantum Hamiltonians and demonstrate that the first of them is equivalent to the Hamiltonian describing free higher derivative nonrelativistic particles, while the second can be linked to the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator whose frequencies form the arithmetic sequence omega_k=(2k-1), k=1,...,n. We also confront the higher derivative models with a genuine second order system constructed in our recent work [A. Galajinsky, I. Masterov, Nucl. Phys. B 866 (2013) 212] which is discussed in detail for l=3/2.

description: We report the discovery of rapid variations of a high-velocity CIV broad absorption line trough in the quasar SDSS J141007.74+541203.3. This object was intensively observed in 2014 as a part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project, during which 32 epochs of spectroscopy were obtained with the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey spectrograph. We observe significant (>4sigma) variability in the equivalent width of the broad (~4000 km/s wide) CIV trough on rest-frame timescales as short as 1.20 days (~29 hours), the shortest broad absorption line variability timescale yet reported. The equivalent width varied by ~10% on these short timescales, and by about a factor of two over the duration of the campaign. We evaluate several potential causes of the variability, concluding that the most likely cause is a rapid response to changes in the incident ionizing continuum. If the outflow is at a radius where the recombination rate is higher than the ionization rate, the timescale of variability places a lower limit on the density of the absorbing gas of n_e > 3.9 x 10^5 cm^-3. The broad absorption line variability characteristics of this quasar are consistent with those observed in previous studies of quasars, indicating that such short-term variability may in fact be common and thus can be used to learn about outflow characteristics and contributions to quasar/host-galaxy feedback scenarios.

description: The digitalisation of communication started as early as the 1980s. With the rise of the internet in the mid-90s the digitalisation process intensified; then it took on another dimension with the spread of social media and smartphones in the mid noughties. These new technologies are providing new possibilities that are unveiling, or rather, strengthening societal trends. What’s more, traditional forms of organisation are also being transformed at breakneck speed. This publication provides an overview of both developments: On the one hand we have societal developments such as the blurring of boundaries between real and digital worlds, constant connectivity, fake news, and social media outrage. On the other, we have the effects on traditional media, the workplace, schools, non-governmental organisations and sports.

description: CXCR4 coreceptor usage appears to occur less frequently among HIV-1 subtype C viruses. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic determinants within the V3 region of subtype C isolates able to use CXCR4. Thirty-two subtype C isolates with known phenotypes (16 R5, 8 R5X4 and 8 X4 isolates) were assessed. A subtype C-specific V3 heteroduplex tracking assay (HTA) was used to determine sample complexity, and nucleotide sequencing analysis was used to compare characteristics associated with CCR5 and CXCR4-using isolates. There were sufficient genetic differences to discriminate between R5 viruses and those able to use CXCR4. In general, R5 isolates had an HTA mobility ratio >0 .9 whereas CXCR4-using isolates were usually < 0.9. Multiple bands were more frequently seen among the dualtropic isolates. Sequence analysis of the V3 region showed that CXCR4-using viruses were often associated with an increased positive amino acid charge, insertions and loss of a glycosylation site, similar to HIV-1 subtype B. In contrast, where subtype B consensus V3 has a GPGR crown motif irrespective of coreceptor usage, all 16 subtype C R5 viruses had a conserved GPGQ sequence at the tip of the loop, while 12 of the 16 (75%) CXCR4-using viruses had substitutions in this motif, most commonly arginine (R). These findings were confirmed using a larger published data set. We therefore suggest that changes within the crown motif of subtype C viruses might be an additional pathway to utilise CXCR4 and thus GPGQ may limit the potential for the development of X4 viruses.

description: Octupolar order is described in two space dimensions in terms of the maxima (and conjugated minima) of the probability density associated with a third-rank, fully symmetric and traceless tensor. Such a representation is shown to be equivalent to diagonalizing the relevant third-rank tensor, an equivalence which however is only valid in the two-dimensional case.

description: Historically, HIV vaccines specifically designed to raise cellular immunity resulted in protection from disease progression but not infection when tested in monkeys challenged with a single high virus exposure. An alternative approach, more analogous to human sexual exposures, is to repetitively challenge immunized monkeys with a much lower dose of virus until systemic infection is documented. Using these conditions to mimic human sexual transmission, we found that a multi-protein DNA/MVA HIV-1 vaccine is indeed capable of protecting rhesus monkeys against systemic infection when repeatedly challenged with a highly heterologous immunodeficiency virus (SHIV). Furthermore, this repetitive challenge approach allowed us to calculate per-exposure probability of infection, an observed vaccine efficacy of 64%, and undertake a systematic analysis for correlates of protection based on exposures needed to achieve infection. Therefore, improved non-human primate models for vaccine efficacy can provide novel insight and perhaps renew expectations for positive outcomes of human HIV clinical trials.
Promoter switching allows simultaneous transcription of LANA and K14/vGPCR of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus

description: Latent transcription of the latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA/ORF73) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus is driven by the LANAp-c. Complexity arises during lytic reactivation, however, as the bicistronic K14/vGPCR transcript initiates 32 bp downstream of LANAp-c in the opposite orientation. We identify an Rta/ORF50-inducible LANA promoter (LANAp-i) that is distinct from the LANAp-c. LANAp-c is unaffected by Rta/ORF50. Utilization of the second, downstream LANAp-i explains how LANA and K14/vGPCR are simultaneously transcribed during de novo infection or lytic reactivation. Transactivation of LANAp-i and K14/vGPCRp requires the C-terminal activation domain of Rta/ORF50 and is mediated by DNA-binding-dependent and -independent Rta/ORF50 mechanisms. Transcriptional profiling following viral reactivation support promoter reporter phenotypes. In sum, -elements within the LANAp were selected to ensure faithful expression of LANA and other genes regulated by LANAp during all stages of the KSHV lifecycle despite potential interference from K14/vGPCRp activity.

Development and characterization of a new single cycle vaccine vector in the simian immunodeficiency virus model system

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: We have developed a new single cycle lentiviral vector, SIVsmH4i-SC27.1, as a potential SIV/HIV-1 vaccine candidate. This viral vector is capable of expressing all of the SIV gene products but is limited to one round of infection. The vector was created by mutating 27 codons dispersed among the viral , and genes to block protein function, attenuate viral replication/infectivity, and reduce the ability of the virus to manipulate the host immune system. To complement the and replication defects, SC27.1 was pseudotyped with the VSV G glycoprotein to allow particle entry. The mutation was complemented by producing particles from an APOBEC3G-negative cell line, and the Vif protein defect was validated by showing that the single cycle virus lost most of its infectivity when particles were produced in presence of APOBEC3G. To deal with the problem of an antibody response to the VSV G protein in a vaccination strategy, two additional serotypes of the VSV G protein were used to create pseudotyped virus particles, and we observed no cross-neutralization activity for two of the pseudotyped particles with a potent neutralizing antiserum to one of the VSV G proteins. We detected moderate inhibition of infectivity in normal human and macaque sera, especially to the New Jersey serotype of VSV G, but as a heat sensitive activity, presumably complement mediated. These particles can be used in a prime-boost strategy to determine if a single cycle lentiviral vaccine vector capable of expressing all of the viral gene products holds promise in inducing immunity and protection to an SIVsm challenge.

description: We report the results of theoretical investigation of electronic structure of ThF$^+$ cation which is one of the most interesting systems to search for the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) [H. Loh, K.C. Cossel, M.C. Grau, K.-K. Ni, E.R. Meyer, J.L. Bohn, J. Ye, E.A. Cornell, Science {\bf 342}, 1220 (2013)] and other effects of violation of time reversal (T) and spacial parity (P) symmetries in fundamental interactions. For the working $^3Δ_1$ state we have found a quite high value of the effective electric field acting on unpaired electrons (37.3 GV/cm). The field will be required to interpret the experiment planed on ThF$^+$ in terms of eEDM. Within the concept of atoms in compounds [A.V. Titov, Y.V. Lomachuk, and L.V. Skripnikov, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 90}, 052522 (2014)] we have compared the ThF$^+$ electronic structure with that of ThO. Also we have calculated other parameters of T,P-odd interactions: $W_{T,P}$, which is needed for interpretation of the experiment in terms of the dimensionless constant $k_{T,P}$ characterizing the strength of the T,P-odd pseudoscalar$-$scalar electron$-$nucleus neutral current interaction (50 kHz); $W_M$, which is required to search for the Th nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment in $^{229}$ThF$^+$ (0.88 $\frac{10^{33}\mathrm{Hz}}{e {\rm cm}^2}$). A number of properties which can be measured are also calculated: hyperfine structure constant, the molecule-frame dipole moment, and g-factor.
title: Cognitive Processing of Proper Names

Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

description: The distinct processing characteristics of proper names have been characterised in various ways. Proper names have been considered unique, meaningless labels, and pure referencing expressions. A recent model by Valentine, Brennen and Bredart (1996) attributes the processing characteristics of people's names to processing via a token marker in memory. This thesis attempts to ascertain which of these explanations most adequately captures the processing characteristics of proper names. The first two experiments address evidence reported by Durso and O'Sullivan (1983) that would undermine the Valentine et al. (1996) model. The experiments indicate that Durso and O'Sullivan's data occurred as an artefact of their experimental design. Chapters 4 and 5 use a repetition priming technique to explore different classes of proper names: people's names, landmark names, country names and city names. Only names of people and landmark names produced cross modal and cross domain facilitation. The organisation of the output lexicon was addressed with five experiments reported in Chapter 6 using variants of the picture-word interference paradigm. It was found that common name distracters interfered with the production of proper name targets when a conceptual relationship existed between the target and the distracter. These data indicated that the lemma stage is highly influenced by semantic status and questioned the nature of organisation within the lemma. This thesis provides support for Valentine et al. (1996) indicating that the processing characteristics of people's names are determined by the nature of connectivity between the lemma and the token marker. The experiments reported in this thesis extend the role of the token marker to some classes of proper name other than people's names (i.e. landmarks). The data also demonstrate that the role of a token marker is not universal for all categories of proper name (i.e. not country names or city names). Differences between categories of proper name indicate that the theoretical views of uniqueness and meaninglessness do not adequately capture the diverse processing attributes of proper names.

description: Rhesus lymphocryptovirus (LCV) is a gamma-herpesvirus closely related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The rhesus latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) is highly homologous to EBV LMP2A. EBV LMP2A activates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and beta-catenin signaling pathways in epithelial cells and affects differentiation. In the present study, the biochemical and biological properties of rhesus LMP2A in epithelial cells were investigated. The expression of rhesus LMP2A in epithelial cells induced Akt activation, GSK3beta inactivation and accumulation of beta-catenin in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The nuclear translocation, but not accumulation of beta-catenin was dependent on Akt activation. Rhesus LMP2A also impaired epithelial cell differentiation; however, this process was not dependent upon Akt activation. A mutant rhesus LMP2A lacking six transmembrane domains functioned similarly to wild-type rhesus LMP2A indicating that the full number of transmembrane domains is not required for effects on beta-catenin or cell differentiation. These results underscore the similarity of LCV to EBV and the suitability of the macaque as an animal model for studying EBV pathogenesis.

description: BACKGROUND: In this study, it was determined that BKV is shed in saliva and an in vitro model system was developed whereby BKV can productively infect both submandibular (HSG) and parotid (HSY) salivary gland cell lines. RESULTS: BKV was detected in oral fluids using quantitative real-time PCR (QRTPCR). BKV infection was determined using quantitative RT-PCR, immunofluorescence and immunoblotting assays. The infectivity of BKV was inhibited by pre-incubation of the virus with gangliosides that saturated the major capsid protein, VP1, halting receptor mediated BKV entry into salivary gland cells. Examination of infected cultures by transmission electron microscopy revealed 45-50 nm BK virions clearly visible within the cells. Subsequent to infection, encapsidated BK virus was detected in the supernatant. CONCLUSION: We thus demonstrated that BKV was detected in oral fluids and that BK infection and replication occur in vitro in salivary gland cells. These data collectively suggest the potential for BKV oral route of transmission and oral pathogenesis.

description: We previously described a single-cycle dengue vaccine (RepliVAX D2) engineered from a capsid (C) gene-deleted West Nile virus (WNV) expressing dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2) prM/E genes in place of the corresponding WNV genes. That work demonstrated that adaptation of RepliVAX D2 to grow in WNV C-expressing cells resulted in acquisition of non-synonymous mutations in the DENV2 prM/E and WNV NS2A/NS3 genes. Here we demonstrate that the prM/E mutations increase the specific infectivity of chimeric virions and the NS2A/NS3 mutations independently enhance packaging. Studies with the NS2A mutant demonstrated that it was unable to produce a larger form of NS1 (NS1'), suggesting that the mutation had been selected to eliminate a ribosomal frame-shift "slippage site" in NS2A. Evaluation of a synonymous mutation at this slippage site confirmed that genomes that failed to make NS1' were packaged more efficiently than WT genomes supporting a role for NS1/NS1' in orchestrating virion assembly.

description: We derive the stationary probability distribution for a non-equilibrium system composed by an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom that are subject to Gaussian colored noise and a conservative potential. This is based on a multidimensional version of the Unified Colored Noise Approximation. By comparing theory with numerical simulations we demonstrate that the theoretical probability density quantitatively describes the accumulation of active particles around repulsive obstacles. In particular, for two particles with repulsive interactions, the probability of close contact decreases when one of the two particle is pinned. Moreover, in the case of isotropic confining potentials, the radial density profile shows a non trivial scaling with radius. Finally we show that the theory well approximates the "pressure" generated by the active particles allowing to derive an equation of state for a system of non-interacting colored noise-driven particles.

description: We propose a model of the spatial visual processes underlying the identification and representation of the shape of primitive spatial regions. We propose that a region's boundaries are sensed at multiple scales bu boundariness detectors thta give graded responses, that stimulated boundariness detectors of similar scale, , connect to one another across a distance that is proportional to their scale, and that they connect via cores, where a core encodes the middles and widths of the region and hence is a trace in (x,y,), i.e. 3-D scale space.
Effects of Systemic Characteristics on the Quality of Family Day Care Services in Australia

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The National Quality Standard (NQS) in Australia has set a national benchmark for the quality of education and care services, including long day care (LDC) and family daycare (FDC). However, previous studies have examined the influential factors on the quality and quality improvement in LDCs, leaving FDCs understudied. This study aims to explore the effects of systemic characteristics on FDC’s NQS ratings, with a focus on management type (MT), socio-economic status (SES), community accessibility and remoteness (CAR) and managing jurisdiction (MJ). Altogether 441 FDC schemes across all states and territories of Australia were derived from the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority's (ACECQA) national dataset, including 4 FDCs with an overall rating of “Significant Improvement Required”, 209 FDCs with a rating of “Working Towards NQS”, 170 with a rating of “Meeting NQS” and 58 with a rating of “Exceeding NQS”. Multinomial logistic regressions (MLR) were conducted to predict FDC’s overall NQS rating for each systemic characteristic, controlling for the NQS version assessed against (2012 vs 2018). The results indicated that: (1) private for-profit FDC schemes were more likely to have lower NQS ratings than not for profit schemes; (2) FDC schemes located in low-SES communities were more likely to have lower NQS ratings than their counterparts in high-SES communities; and (3) schemes located in metropolitan areas were more likely to have lower ratings than the schemes in regional or remote areas. Results indicated that MT, SES, CAR and MJ could explain up to 19.3%, 9.2%, 6.9% and 7.8% of the variation in FDC’s NQS ratings, respectively. These findings imply that policy attention should be paid to the variations and inequalities caused by the major systemic features. In addition, efforts should be made to further explore the urban-rural and poor-rich gaps to promote equality and equity in early childhood education and care.

description: We study the scattering of infrared light by small dielectric core-shell particles taking a sapphire sphere with a CaO core as an example. The extinction efficiency of such a particle shows two intense series of resonances attached, respectively, to in-phase and out-of-phase multipolar polarization-induced surface charges build-up, respectively, at the core-shell and the shell-vacuum interface. Both series, the character of the former may be labelled bonding and the character of the latter antibonding, give rise to anomalous scattering. For a given particle radius and filling factor the Poynting vector field shows therefore around two wave numbers the complex topology of this type of light scattering. Inside the particle the topology depends on the character of the resonance. The dissipation of energy inside the particle also reflects the core-shell structure. It depends on the resonance and shows strong spatial variations.

Scaled medial axis representation: evidence from position discrimination task

description: Previous experimental studies (e.g. Kovacs I, Julesz B. Nature (London) 1994:370:644-646) have found enhanced contrast sensitivity at medial locations, supporting theoretical speculations that the visual system represents simple spatial regions by their medial axes. The core model (Burbeck CA. Pizer SM. Vis Res 1995;35:1917-1930) hypothesizes that the medial representation arises in a scale-specific way: the scale is determined by local object width, and it controls the resolution at which the medial locus and object width are encoded. Here we look for further evidence for a medial representation and test the idea that the resolution of the axis depends on object width. A new experimental paradigm was developed to infer sensitivity to position within individual figural regions. using circles as the figural regions. A probe dot was presented within a circle along a diameter at one location in one temporal interval and at a slightly different location on that diameter in a second temporal interval. The observer's task was to report the direction in which the probe dot had been displaced. Position discrimination thresholds were calculated and compared to two-dot separation discrimination thresholds. Data were obtained for two circle sizes. It was found that positional sensitivity was strongly enhanced near the center of the circle, and it was enhanced in a scale-dependent way. The results were tested against a scaled medial (core) model and against models assuming no medial representation. The core model was better able to account for the results.
title: Between the Exception and Biopolitical Security: A Critical Discourse Analysis of US and EU Securitization Strategies Post -9/11
Creators: name: Fiaccadori, Elisa
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

description: In line with Carl Schmitt’s characterization of the sovereign as ‘he who decides on the state of exception’, Giorgio Agamben argues that the exception is not only central to contemporary security developments but is increasingly becoming the rule. Starting from a critical exploration of biopolitics and sovereignty in the works of both Agamben and Foucault, through a theoretically informed discursive analysis, this thesis explores three important instances of securitization discourse, whose conceptualizations of sovereignty and security it uses to explain how exactly ‘the (state of) exception’ is generalized in the context of the war on terror. These are two US National Security Strategies (2002; 2006) and the European Security Strategy (2004). What the analysis of these documents, and in particular of the NSSs, demonstrates is that, as Agamben suggests, the exception is indeed essential to an articulation of sovereign power at the national level. It is through the decision on the exception exemplified by the decision on the enemy (i.e., terrorism) and the best means to combat it that the US tries to secure its status as a powerful state, legitimize a global leading role for itself in the war on terror. However, what it also shows is that whilst the theme of emergency is constitutive in different ways of both the US and EU (bio)political foreign policy and sovereignty, the attempt to ‘generalize the (state of) exception’ also relies on other mechanisms of (bio)power or (bio)security. These mechanisms of (bio)security, I argue, are operationalized differently from the logic of exception, but are not unconnected to it. They permit the globalization of (the state of) exception in the form of what I have called a ‘global (bio)emergency-State’, whose primary enabler is the US state and of which the EU is an active, if ‘indirect’, participant. This thesis argues that the logic of exception and security are in fact coextensive. However, contrary to Agamben, it claims that they are not coextensive in the absolute sense of being one and the same as his understanding of biosovereignty implies. They are coextensive in the very specific senses of the logic of exception finding its continuation in the transformation of security into strategic objective at both US national and European level.

description: We present and test a novel multiscale representation of perceived 3D surface orientation: the orientation path. Using a multiscale probe, we measure perceived surface orientation at multiple spatial scales: linking the measurements for a given surface location yields that location's orientation path. The multiscale data obtained show that observers consistently see different surface orientations at different spatial scales. We demonstrate that such multiscale data can reveal multiscale differences between observers' percepts of a stimulus and the stimulus geometry. We also demonstrate the use of the orientation path in evaluating the multiscale effects of adding a depth cue to a 3D display.
