description: This thesis consists of poetry written over the period of three years in the poetry track of the MFA in Creative Writing program at George Mason University, and especially consists of poetry created in the final year of the program, where the author’s mother passed away. These poems deal directly with topics such as: loss, grief, cancer, caretaking of the sick and dying, and death itself. It is also concerned with the abstraction of the above list into myth, the supernatural, philosophy, and the dream state. This thesis is elegy.
Switch-Less Dragonfly on Wafers: A Scalable Interconnection Architecture based on Wafer-Scale Integration
Creators: name: Feng, Yinxiao
name: Ma, Kaisheng
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Hardware Architecture (cs.AR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Existing high-performance computing (HPC) interconnection architectures are based on high-radix switches, which limits the injection/local performance and introduces latency/energy/cost overhead. The new wafer-scale packaging and high-speed wireline technologies provide high-density, low-latency, and high-bandwidth connectivity, thus promising to support direct-connected high-radix interconnection architecture.
 In this paper, we propose a wafer-based interconnection architecture called Switch-Less-Dragonfly-on-Wafers. By utilizing distributed high-bandwidth networks-on-chip-on-wafer, costly high-radix switches of the Dragonfly topology are eliminated while increasing the injection/local throughput and maintaining the global throughput. Based on the proposed architecture, we also introduce baseline and improved deadlock-free minimal/non-minimal routing algorithms with only one additional virtual channel. Extensive evaluations show that the Switch-Less-Dragonfly-on-Wafers outperforms the traditional switch-based Dragonfly in both cost and performance. Similar approaches can be applied to other switch-based direct topologies, thus promising to power future large-scale supercomputers.

description: В Нижегородской области в 2014 г. на территории заповедника «Керженский» были начаты работы по реинтродукции исчезнувшего здесь в начале ХХ века лесного северного оленя. В течение нескольких лет была успешно отработана практика содержания и разведения оленей в неволе. В 2019 г. поголовье вольерных оленей пополнили «дикарями» из Архангельской области. В 2020 г. начат выпуск рожденных в вольерах оленей в природу. К концу 2023 г. в заповеднике и на сопредельной с ним территории на воле обитало 18 северных оленей и еще одиннадцать – в вольерах. Родившиеся здесь и выпущенные на волю олени осваивают территорию в радиусе 20 км. Хищничество, в том числе безнадзорных собак, является основным негативным фактором. Для успешной реализации проекта наряду с ООПТ можно использовать угодья высокоорганизованных охотничьих хозяйств, где проще решать проблему регулирования численности хищников. Для действенной охраны краснокнижных животных следует разработать механизмы стимулирования эффективно работающих охотпользователей.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This report has been prepared to meet the EverLoNG project deliverable D5.2.3, which involves identifying common safeguards from the risk assessments. It also contributes to fulfilling D5.3, which entails summarising the learnings from Work Package 5 and disseminating the insights gained to relevant international regulatory bodies. The report builds upon previous deliverables and activities in WP5.

The main safety hazards associated with an SBCC installation pertain to loss of containment in the chemical systems used during the CO2 capturing process and the hazards linked to loss of containment in systems employed for processing, storing, and off-loading captured CO2.

The report addresses preventive and mitigating safety barriers that should be considered to reduce the frequency and consequences of hazardous events related to SBCC installations. The evaluation is based on a comprehensive assessment of hazardous events identified through multiple HAZIDsconducted in the EverLoNG project, which must be mitigated to ensure the safety of the ship and its crew.

Quantum annealer accelerates the variational quantum eigensolver in a triple-hybrid algorithm
Creators: name: Jattana, Manpreet Singh
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Hybrid algorithms that combine quantum and classical resources have become commonplace in quantum computing. The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is routinely used to solve prototype problems. Currently, hybrid algorithms use no more than one kind of quantum computer connected to a classical computer. In this work, a novel triple-hybrid algorithm combines the effective use of a classical computer, a gate-based quantum computer, and a quantum annealer. The solution of a graph coloring problem found using a quantum annealer reduces the resources needed from a gate-based quantum computer to accelerate VQE by allowing simultaneous measurements within commuting groups of Pauli operators. We experimentally validate our algorithm by evaluating the ground state energy of H$_2$ using different IBM Q devices and the DWave Advantage system requiring only half the resources of standard VQE. Other larger problems we consider exhibit even more significant VQE acceleration. Several examples of algorithms are provided to further motivate a new field of multi-hybrid algorithms that leverage different kinds of quantum computers to gain performance improvements.

subject: Bus

description: From Volume 1 (2007) of New Voices in Public Policy
description: This study hypothesizes that low-income, automobile-based commuters within the service areas of the Fairfax Connector bus system can be persuaded to use the Fairfax Connector county bus system, as opposed to a single occupancy vehicle (SOV), if the cost of their Connector fare is partially subsidized. This increase in the relative affordability of public transportation will enable targeted low-income commuters to take advantage of new, higher- paying job opportunities that may currently exist beyond their affordable commuting distance. Although not explicitly modeled, we surmise that increased utilization of the Fairfax Connector will also provide the added benefit of removing additional automobile traffic from the county's crowded roads and highways, thereby decreasing automotive traffic and providing benefits to commuters and employers.

description: In 2015, an online survey was conducted to investigate public attitudes toward key cetacean (whale, dolphin, and porpoise) conservation and 'hot topic' issues such as legislative protection, whaling, and captivity (n=858). Importance of the use of social media by scientists and conservationists and its accuracy was also addressed. When given a list of whale and dolphin species, 24.01% participants thought the blue whale was the most endangered, 22.14% thought it was the humpback whale, and 23.43% stated the killer whale. Additionally, participants were also asked which species listed was the most important to conserve: 39.74% indicating the bottlenose dolphin was the most important. Only 6.29% highlighted the most endangered cetacean (the Vaquita or Gulf of California harbor porpoise) and 5.01% noted the endangered North Atlantic right whale. More members of the public highlighted non-existent (fake) species as being of conservation concern than certain species of genuine concern (e.g. Pygmy short-fined whale, Lumpheaded dolphin, and Majestic spotted dolphin). The majority of participants considered dolphins and whales to be "under protected" or only "slightly protected" (29.95%; 41.96%, respectively) and expressed that marine mammal conservation laws and policies were "very important" or "important" (47.43%; and 37.88%, respectively). In addition, 86.83% of participants expressed opposition to the hunting of dolphins and whales (57.93% "strongly opposed" and 28.90% "opposed"); however, only 47.44% of participants were aware that several countries are still involved in whaling. Participants were divided on opposition or support of dolphins and whales in marine parks and aquariums (54.43%; 45.57% respectively). But 86.01% or 6 times as many members of the public preferred to view cetaceans in the wild via-whale watching than in captivity, and a majority noted that cetaceans should only be kept in captivity when dolphins are sick or injured, for conducting research relevant to dolphin conservation in the wild, and for conducting research on captive dolphin rearing and breeding (husbandry). A lack of awareness of the conservation status of whales and dolphins and continued whaling activities suggests that greater outreach to the public about the conservation status of whale and dolphin species is needed.

description: Asian American (AA) adolescents experience significant mental health concerns that are often overlooked and masked by cultural values. Due to the intergenerational acculturation conflict between parents and their children, second-generation AAs are particularly vulnerable to poor psychological outcomes and low utilization of mental health services. While there are existing programs targeting mental health problems by promoting parent-child relationships, a culturally adapted web-based parent training (PT) program for first-generation Korean American (KA) parents of second-generation adolescents does not exist. To address this gap in the literature, the present dissertation describes two studies that aimed to culturally adapt two existing PT programs for first-generation KA parents of teens. In Study 1, KA parents participated in two semi-structured focus groups to gather feedback after reviewing the initial Korean Family Communications (KFC) Program manual and the subsequent revised manual. Additionally, researchers consulted with a community KA mental health professional to best incorporate the focus group feedback. The following themes emerged: filial piety, communication, perception of Korean values, misconceptions about mental health, and stigma. The Korean Family Communications manual was revised according to feedback. In Study 2, The KFC Program was piloted to a sample of 10 KA parents. Preliminary results demonstrated that the program improved mental health literacy and attitudes towards seeking services. The program was accepted and well-received by KA parents.

description: We introduce a scheme to characterise a qudit T gate that has different noise than a set of Clifford gates. We developed our scheme through representation theory and ring theory to generalise non-Clifford interleaved benchmarking to qudit systems. By restricting to the qubit case, we recover the dihedral benchmarking scheme. Our characterisation scheme provides experimental physicists a practical method for characterising universal qudit gate sets and advances randomised benchmarking research by providing the characterisation of a complete qudit library.

description: Biologically plausible Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), characterized by spike sparsity, are growing tremendous attention over intellectual edge devices and critical bio-medical applications as compared to artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, there is a considerable risk from malicious attempts to extract white-box information (i.e., weights) from SNNs, as attackers could exploit well-trained SNNs for profit and white-box adversarial concerns. There is a dire need for intellectual property (IP) protective measures. In this paper, we present a novel secure software-hardware co-designed RRAM-based neuromorphic accelerator for protecting the IP of SNNs. Software-wise, we design a tailored genetic algorithm with classic XOR encryption to target the least number of weights that need encryption. From a hardware perspective, we develop a low-energy decryption module, meticulously designed to provide zero decryption latency. Extensive results from various datasets, including NMNIST, DVSGesture, EEGMMIDB, Braille Letter, and SHD, demonstrate that our proposed method effectively secures SNNs by encrypting a minimal fraction of stealthy weights, only 0.00005% to 0.016% weight bits. Additionally, it achieves a substantial reduction in energy consumption, ranging from x59 to x6780, and significantly lowers decryption latency, ranging from x175 to x4250. Moreover, our method requires as little as one sample per class in dataset for encryption and addresses hessian/gradient-based search insensitive problems. This strategy offers a highly efficient and flexible solution for securing SNNs in diverse applications.

The Brazilian Military Regime of 1964-1985: Legacies for Contemporary Democracy
Creators: name: Power, Timothy J.
Publisher: name: Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut (Berlin)
Year: 2016
Subjects: Coup; Dictatorship; Authoritarianism; Legacies; Democratic consolidation; Brazil

description: This article revisits the 21-year military dictatorship in Brazil to examine how it shaped subsequent democratic politics after the transition to civilian rule in 1985. In particular, six legacies are analysed. The paper begins by focusing on the relative legitimacy of the Brazilian military regime when compared to other dictatorships in the Southern Cone. The article then examines several variables which impact on the way politics has played out between 1985 and 2014: a high level of continuity of personnel inherited from the military period, an accentuated commitment to civil liberties (as in the Constitution of 1988), a more robust level of political competition compared to the pre-coup years, and a delayed but increasingly meaningful consideration of transitional justice issues. The article concludes by noting how mass mobilization (the street) engendered the collapse of the military regime in 1983-1984, and how this strategy of collective action has been repeated on several occasions under democracy.

Make live, make die, and let die: refusal to die in the terminal time of the Anthropocene
Creators: name: Uwase Ndahiro, Sandrine
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 47
subject: Language, communication and culture

description: This thesis examines living conditions in a deathscape in ways that contribute to the more extensive discussion about life in the Anthropocene. Environmental issues like deforestation, pollution, and famine visible across the continent produce a compelling narrative of the visceral charge of enduring life in necropolitical sites of violence, displacement and resistance. Such sites become framed as deathscapes, a term Hugo Ka Canham uses to provoke a consideration of what it means to live with and despite ecological devastation and to reconsider survivance and freedom in blighted spaces. Contemporary African cultural texts effectively produce narratives of livingness that re-works the necropolitical governances of objectification. I argue that contemporary African cultural texts bear witness to the ongoing environmental catastrophe by documenting the material reality of deathscapes and exposing the living conditions of the ‘there’ that are framed as unimaginable. This analysis is established by close reading related to four genres: prose fiction, memoir, film and photography, in four African cultural texts: Helon Habila’s Oil on Water (2010), Wangari Maathai’s Unbowed (2006), Mora Kpai’s Arlit, Deuxième Paris (2005), Wanuri Kahiu’s Pumzi (2009), Nyaba Leon Ouedraogo’s The Hell of Copper (2008) and Fabrice Monteiro’s The Prophecy (2013). My selected cultural texts depart from the limits of representing climate change as a distant crisis and instead make the crisis legible by inventing ways of how it may play out by passive/active postcolonial subjects who cannot and will not abandon the desire to live even when faced with a certain death. This analysis shows that for more than a decade now, writers and artists from across the African continent have been addressing the effects of environmental degradation in ways that illuminate the scale of devastation in the lived reality of their people while also providing nuanced representations of everyday coping mechanisms for surviving and even imagining a future beyond this devastation. Postcolonial African subjects’ resistance and determination for survivance in a deathscape offer a more accurate, situated and potentially optimistic responses to environmental crisis from an African perspective in the terminal times of the Anthropocene era.

Política Externa Independente, from Geisel to Lula
Creators: name: Wiesebron, Marianne L.
Publisher: name: Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut (Berlin)
Year: 2016
Subjects: Foreign policy; Política Externa Independente; Nacionalistas; Entreguistas; Brazil

description: In the first decades of the 20th century, Brazil formed an ‘unwritten alliance’ with the United States. This changed when Brazilian governments began to focus on the country’s national development and Washington did not give anything back for Brazil’s loyalty. In 1961, Jânio Quadros launched the concept of Política Externa Independente, which really came into its own during the military regime, especially during Geisel’s government (1974-1979). In the middle of the Cold War, Brazil developed many new bilateral and multilateral relationships, including with communist countries. Some of his predecessors had been more aligned with Washington, and are considered entreguistas, while those developing an independent policy are called nacionalistas. This pendulum movement does also happen in times of democratic regimes. Cardoso was much more aligned to Washington, especially during his first mandate, while Lula really put Brazil on the world map.

description: We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a 1.2 RJup, 5.9 MJup giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in TESS Sector 40. Radial velocity (RV) observations of TOI-4465 using the Automated Planet Finder telescope show a planetary signal with an orbital period of ~102 days, and an orbital eccentricity of e=0.24. TESS re-observed TOI-4465 in Sector 53, and will again in Sector 80, but will not detect another transit of TOI-4465 b. A global ground-based photometry campaign was initiated to observe another transit of TOI-4465 b after the RV period determination. The ~12 hour-long transit event was captured from 13 sites around the world, and included observations from several citizen scientists. TOI-4465 b is a dense (3.9 g/cm3), warm giant planet. We use giant planet structure models to estimate its bulk heavy-element content, and find that TOI-4465 b is enriched in metals at a level consistent with the core accretion theory of giant planet formation. Increasing the number of long-period planets by confirming single-transit events is crucial for understanding the frequency and demographics of planet populations in the outer regions of planetary systems.

description: Multi-Task Learning (MTL) involves learning of multiple tasks, jointly. It seeks to improve the generalization performance of each task by leveraging the relationships among the different tasks. It is an advanced concept of Single-Task Learning (STL), most widely used in classification. In STL, each task is considered to be independent and learnt independently whereas in MTL, multiple tasks are learnt simultaneously by utilizing task relatedness. The main intuition is that the training signal present in related tasks can help each of the tasks learn better models. It also allows for learning of better models with fewer labeled examples. In this thesis our focus is on improving the classification performance for a database categorized as a hierarchy and archiving large number of documents. We focus on improving the classification performance of this database (source) by developing a MTL based model. In this model we use an external database to facilitate the classification process for the source database. We have used the logistic regression model for multiple classification tasks and k-nearest neighbor approach for finding the similarities between the classes in two hierarchical databases. The kNN allows us to de fine task relationships. Experiment on sampled DMOZ dataset has been done to evaluate the performance of MTL with STL, Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) and Transfer Learning (TL). We have also used random projections for achieving better runtime performance at a minimal effect on classification accuracy.

A New Perspective on the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission Excess

description: The Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) recently published measurements of diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission (DGE) in the 10-1000 TeV energy range. The measured DGE flux is significantly higher than the expectation from hadronic interactions between cosmic rays (CRs) and the interstellar medium. This excess has been proposed to originate from unknown extended sources produced by electron radiation, such as pulsar wind nebulae or pulsar halos (PWNe/halos). In this study, we propose a new perspective to explain the DGE excess observed by LHAASO. The masking regions used in the LHAASO DGE measurement may not fully encompass the extended signals of PWNe/halos. By employing a two-zone diffusion model for electrons around pulsars, we find that the DGE excess in most regions of the Galactic plane can be well explained by the signal leakage model under certain parameters. Our results indicate that the signal leakage from known sources and contributions from unresolved sources should be considered complementary in explaining the DGE excess.

description: Research infrastructures have been identified as an important source of greenhouse gas emissions of astronomical research. Based on a comprehensive inventory of 1,211 ground-based observatories and space missions, we assessed the evolution of the number of astronomical facilities and their carbon footprint from 1945 to 2022. We found that space missions dominate greenhouse gas emissions in astronomy, showing an important peak at the end of the 1960ies, followed by a decrease that has turned again into a rise over the last decade. Extrapolating past trends, we predict that greenhouse gas emissions from astronomical facilities will experience no strong decline in the future, and may even rise substantially, unless research practices are changed. We demonstrate that a continuing growth in the number of operating astronomical facilities is not environmentally sustainable. These findings should motivate the astronomical community to reflect about the necessary evolutions that would put astronomical research on a sustainable path.

description: This thesis is a poetic meditation on three famines in history: the Irish Potato Famine lasting from 1845 to 1852, the Ukrainian famine of 1933, and the Great Chinese Famine lasting from 1958 to 1961. In telling these narratives, a kind of memorial is built through poetry, and therefore an examination of memorials themselves begins. The thesis concerns itself with tragedies easily forgotten by the American public. In considering memorials and their psychological function, another thread appears: that of guilt, complicity, and privilege. Following this thread, it becomes apparent that in order to look at these tragedies one must first acknowledge from where one is looking.

description: Biotechnology and medicine are constantly battling threats to global health security. Many modern techniques exist for detecting and predicting where outbreaks might occur and between small molecule drugs, like antibiotics, biologics, and vaccines, much progress has been made in treating diseases globally. However, outbreaks still frequently occur, and many pathogens exist for which there are no treatment. In this review, we paint a picture of the challenges faced in maintaining global health security and how a new wave of gene editing technologies can overcome them. We discuss a number of technologies that are actively developing CRISPR as a treatment or diagnostic tool as well as how CRISPR tools can affect drug development indirectly and speculate on what the near future for these research directions holds. Last, some of the risks associated with gene editing technologies and the efforts scientists are undertaking to mitigate them are covered. Overall, CRISPR and gene editing technologies are likely to have a positive influence on our global health security outlook, both as a form of treatment and detection tool as well as a force for increasing the rate of biological and drug discovery.

description: Nel monitoraggio ambientale civico costituisce un’importanza fondamentale la conoscenza profonda dello strumento che si utilizza nelle rilevazioni. La strumentazione è spesso sviluppata con il supporto di community che raccolgono appassionati ed esperti di elettronica open-source e di fabbricazione digitale, come i FabLab o makerspace, già presenti in molte città italiane ed europee. Gli stessi laboratori promuovono corsi e workshop a tutti i livelli sulla costruzione di strumenti e sul monitoraggio civico. I Fablab ospitano comunità di cittadini coese in cui il “fare” collaborativo e lo spirito di condivisione ha permesso il proliferare di progetti di ricerca e sviluppo della tecnologia "open" costituita da software free ed hardware a basso costo. Il FabLab Wemake di Milano, da alcuni anni, sviluppa strumenti per il monitoraggio civico dell’aria e dell’acqua, organizzando anche workshop in presenza e on-line dedicati a scuole e comuni cittadini. In qualche caso gli strumenti sono stati intercalibrati con quelli professionali gestiti da laboratori CNR, dimostrando che buone performance possono essere raggiunte con bassi costi e semplicità di funzionamento, grazie alla collaborazione del mondo della ricerca ufficiale.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine factors, which motivate people to watch electronic sports. The sample consisted of males and females aged 18 to 65 watching e-sport, both online and at live e-sport viewing events. All individuals completed a 56-item instrument comprising the Sports Fan Motivation Scale (Wann, 1995) and the Motivation Scale for Sports Consumption (Trail, Fink, & Andersen, 2000) as well as demographics and e-sport behavior questions. Motivations were analyzed on the basis of subgroups (i.e., gender, age, ethnicity, preferred viewing duration, preferred number of co-spectators, preferred viewing location, and whether or not the spectator was an actual player). Overall the highest motivating factors were entertainment, eustress, and aesthetics on the Sports Fan Motivation Scale, and the highest motivating factors on the Motivation Scale for Sports Consumption were player skills, drama, and knowledge.
