The Critique of Power Dynamics Through Sound
Creators: name: Blair, Gregory
Publisher: name: Art Style
Year: 2024
Subjects: Sound, Power, Art, Spatial, Politics

description: This paper explores and elucidates a method of making sound in the history of music and art that is explicitly political and disruptive. At different moments in history, certain musicians and sound artists have strategically enlisted different modalities in the production of their music or art to critique and disrupt different forms of power. Some of these particular projects have actively tried to resist or challenge certain oppressive power formations and cultural norms. Their creations form a sub genealogy of sorts in the history of sound, connected not through genres, context, or musical compositions, but by a commonality of procedure and method. The primary focus of this paper is an analysis of how political critique and resistance can be made through musical endeavors or sound art and put into action in the world—how theory can become praxis. Three specific case studies will be investigated to demonstrate the various permutations of how music or sound can be melodically quite different and originate from a different context, but also strive for the same overall goal of critiquing power, often in the form of societal norms, spatial politics, or unwritten cultural codes of conduct. Because many of these forms of power become naturalized, they often become unnoticed. However, even in their invisibility they serve to frame individual understanding, meaning, and value. The critiques of power dynamics through sound considered in this paper are intended to expose and question the reach, authenticity, and authority that different power formations may possess. To demonstrate how a critique of existing forms of power may be developed using sound, a detailed analysis of three projects utilizing sound will include Pussy Riot’s political protest Punk Prayer, Samson Young’s artwork Canon, and Selma Selman’s performance You Have No Idea.

title: The Contributing Factors to Teacher Retention and Attrition and the Impact of Principals on Those Decisions
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Teacher retention and attrition in the United States is, and has been, an issue of major concern for policy makers and administrators. Exacerbating this on-going issue is a teacher shortage. High teacher attrition rates hinder schools in their ability to provide quality instruction, impact school culture, and drain schools and districts financially, including occasioning greater costs devoted to human capital investment. Prior research has provided insight into the teacher and organizational factors associated with attrition and the detrimental impact that it has on our schools. Less attention, however, has been placed on administrative influence, and even less, addressing the organizational contexts surrounding teachers who leave the district (Leavers), and move from their school to another school within the district (Movers), in addition to those who persist (Stayers). Attrition is a significant problem facing all schools, but the problem is more severe among high need schools forced to spend much needed financial and other resources on recruitment and training efforts to replace the large percentages of teachers leaving within their first few years. Given the need to retain high-quality teachers, and the significant influence that administration may have on these decisions, research is needed to understand this relationship, and the ways in which principals work to retain their teachers. Employing sequential explanatory design; and using a district level survey of all teachers, logistic regression and follow-up interviews of teachers at each school level this mixed-methods study explored two primary questions. 1. What are the reasons teachers leave or stay in their school, their school district, or profession? 2. In what ways do principals contribute to teacher decisions to leave or stay in their school, district, and profession? Additionally, this study sought a more in depth understanding of the factors contributing to teacher decisions in leaving, moving, or staying in school, district or profession. Lastly, of those contributing factors; identified through district-level survey, what, specifically, was or is the role that the building principal played regarding any of these stated decisions. Through data analysis and triangulation and integration of the qualitative and quantitative findings, the results of this study suggest that school culture/morale; teacher autonomy; student relationships, behavior, and achievement are at the center of teacher decision making with regard to attrition decisions. Through survey and follow up interviews it was determined that a principal’s focus on the aspects outlined above and explored below, can directly and indirectly impact teacher retention and attrition.
A hierarchical statistical framework for emergent constraints: application to snow-albedo feedback

description: Emergent constraints use relationships between future and current climate states to constrain projections of climate response. Here, we introduce a statistical, hierarchical emergent constraint (HEC) framework in order to link future and current climate with observations. Under Gaussian assumptions, the mean and variance of the future state is shown analytically to be a function of the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio between data-model error and current-climate uncertainty, and the correlation between future and current climate states. We apply the HEC to the climate-change, snow-albedo feedback, which is related to the seasonal cycle in the Northern Hemisphere. We obtain a snow-albedo-feedback prediction interval of $(-1.25, -0.58)$ \%$K^{-1}$. The critical dependence on SNR and correlation shows that neglecting these terms can lead to bias and under-estimated uncertainty in constrained projections. The flexibility of using HEC under general assumptions throughout the Earth System is discussed.

description: A direct and exact method for calculating the density of states for systems with localized potentials is presented. The method is based on explicit inversion of the operator $E-H$. The operator is written in the discrete variable representation of the Hamiltonian, and the Toeplitz property of the asymptotic part of the obtained {\it infinite} matrix is used. Thus, the problem is reduced to the inversion of a {\it finite} matrix.
Dynamical Semigroup Description of Coherent and Incoherent Particle-Matter Interaction

description: The meaning of statistical experiments with single microsystems in quantum mechanics is discussed and a general model in the framework of non-relativistic quantum field theory is proposed, to describe both coherent and incoherent interaction of a single microsystem with matter. Compactly developing the calculations with superoperators, it is shown that the introduction of a time scale, linked to irreversibility of the reduced dynamics, directly leads to a dynamical semigroup expressed in terms of quantities typical of scattering theory. Its generator consists of two terms, the first linked to a coherent wavelike behaviour, the second related to an interaction having a measuring character, possibly connected to events the microsystem produces propagating inside matter. In case these events breed a measurement, an explicit realization of some concepts of modern quantum mechanics ("effects" and "operations") arises. The relevance of this description to a recent debate questioning the validity of ordinary quantum mechanics to account for such experimental situations as, e.g., neutron-interferometry, is briefly discussed.

Oscillation Solutions to Solar Neutrino Problem

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999

description: The current status of oscillation solutions to the Solar Neutrino Problem is reviewed. Four oscillation solutions are discussed in the light of 708d Superkamiokande data: MSW, Just-So VO, VO with Energy-Independent Suppression (EIS) and Resonant-Spin-Flavor-Precession (RSFP). Only EIS VO is strongly disfavoured by the global rates, mostly due to the Homestake data. Vacuum oscillations give an interesting solution which explains high-energy excess of events observed by Superkamiokande and predicts {\em semi-annual} seasonal variation of $Be$-neutrino flux. There are indications to these variations in the GALLEX and Homestake data. No direct evidence for oscillation is found yet.

Connecting Compact Star-forming and Extended Star-forming Galaxies at Low-redshift: Implications for Galaxy Compaction and Quenching

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Previous findings show that the existence of dense cores or bulges is the prerequisite for quenching a galaxy, leading to a proposed two-step quenching scenario: compaction and quenching. In this scenario, galaxies first grow their cores to a stellar mass surface density threshold and subsequently quenching occurs, suggesting that galaxies evolve from extended star-forming galaxies (eSFGs), through compact star-forming galaxies (cSFGs), to quenched population. In this work, we aim at examining the possible evolutionary link between eSFGs and cSFGs by identifying the trends in star formation rate (SFR), gas-phase metallicity and HI content, since one would naturally expect that galaxies evolve along the track of cold gas consumption and metal enhancement. We select a volume-limited sample of 15,933 galaxies with stellar mass above $10^{9.5}M_{\odot}$ and redshift of 0.02 < z < 0.05 from the NASA-Sloan-Atlas catalog within the ALFALFA footprint. The cSFGs on average exhibit similar or slightly higher SFRs of $\sim$0.06 dex and significantly higher gas-phase metallicity (up to 0.2 dex at low mass) with respect to the eSFGs, while the cSFGs dominate the galaxy population of the most intense star formation activities. More importantly, overall the median HI content and gas depletion time of cSFGs are about half of eSFGs. Our result supports the compaction and quenching scenario that galaxies evolve and grow their cores along the track of cold gas consumption and metal enhancement. The environments of eSFGs and cSFGs are indistinguishable, suggesting that the compaction process is independent of any environmental effects at least for low-redshift universe.

description: New pricing policies are emerging where cloud providers charge resource provisioning based on the allocated CPU frequencies. As a result, resources are offered to users as combinations of different performance levels and prices which can be configured at runtime. With such new pricing schemes and the increasing energy costs in data centres, balancing energy savings with performance and revenue losses is a challenging problem for cloud providers. CPU frequency scaling can be used to reduce power dissipation, but also impacts VM performance and therefore revenue. In this paper, we firstly propose a non-linear power model that estimates power dissipation of a multi-core PM and secondly a pricing model that adjusts the pricing based on the VM's CPU-boundedness characteristics. Finally, we present a cloud controller that uses these models to allocate VMs and scale CPU frequencies of the PMs to achieve energy cost savings that exceed service revenue losses. We evaluate the proposed approach using simulations with realistic VM workloads, electricity price and temperature traces and estimate energy savings of up to 14.57%.

description: We study a perturbed Floquet Hamiltonian $K+βV$ depending on a coupling constant $β$. The spectrum $σ(K)$ is assumed to be pure point and dense. We pick up an eigen-value, namely $0\inσ(K)$, and show the existence of a function $λ(β)$ defined on $I\subset\R$ such that $λ(β) \in σ(K+βV)$ for all $β\in I$, 0 is a point of density for the set $I$, and the Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation series represents an asymptotic series for the function $λ(β)$. All ideas are developed and demonstrated when treating an explicit example but some of them are expected to have an essentially wider range of application.

description: We derive the equilibrium and transport properties of metals using renormalization group equations and finite-size scaling. Particular attention is given to the well-known cases of Fermi and Luttinger liquids. An important subtlety is that the temperature dependence of many transport coefficients is determined by ``dangerous'' irrelevant operators. We also characterize violations of Fermi or Luttinger liquid behavior in terms of indices, analogous to the critical indices describing phase transitions. We briefly consider the normal-state properties of the cuprates from this standpoint.

Sound Design for Electric Vehicles: Fulfilling Laws and Creating Digital Artwork
Creators: name: Fortino, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Art Style
Year: 2024

description: Over the last decades, the sound of vehicles with internal combustion engines has been developed to perfection, so that car enthusiasts are not only able to hear the differences between car manufactures but also between different engine configurations and exhaust styles. Even people that do not know all the technical details about different engine types will most likely be more aware of approaching cars with a flat-6 engine or legendary V8 engine. Vehicle sounds are experienced both consciously and unconsciously and have a huge impact on the driving emotions, as well as the overall customer experience. Most car manufactures are aiming for a complete transition to an all-electric fleet in the near future and already started the transformation process. Well known structures and all the know-how of the past decades cannot be used anymore to create the unique sound branding of each car manufacturer. This is why acoustic engineers and sound designers are confronted with an almost complete empty spectrogram and need to create a full story for all frequencies and in each driving condition of the electric vehicle. The design process starts very similar to a music producer sitting in silence who uses his imagination to bring ideas into life. This article reflects first the sound design methods of the last decades to create unique sounds of vehicles with internal combustion engines in order to take into account the heritage of customer experience. From this perspective, the challenges for electric vehicle (EV) sound designers are derived in order to not only comply with regulatory requirements for pedestrian safety and homologation but also to create pleasant, emotional and unforgettable soundscapes. For this purpose, technical toolchains are shown that have been combined with creative approaches in order to build a productive environment for turning the sound of electric vehicles into digital artwork.

Such colliders are planned to start to operate at a center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV to 800 GeV, with a final energy of about 2 TeV expected. They are ideal facilities for the discovery of supersymmetric particles. High precision measurements of their properties and interactions will help to uncover the mechanism of supersymmetry breaking and will allow for tests of grand unification scenarios.

Signal propagation on $κ$-Minkowski spacetime and non-local two-point functions

description: We study the propagation of quantum fields on $κ$-Minkowsi spacetime. Starting from the non-commutative partition function for a free field written in momentum space we derive the Feynman propagator and analyze the non-trivial singularity structure determined by the group manifold geometry of momentum space. The additional contributions due to such singularity structure result in a deformed field propagation which can be alternatively described in terms of an ordinary field propagation determined by a source with a blurred spacetime profile. We show that the $κ$-deformed Feynman propagator can be written in terms of vacuum expectation values of a commutative non-local quantum field. For sub-Planckian modes the $κ$-deformed propagator corresponds to the vacuum expectation value of the time-ordered product of non-local field operators while for trans-Plankian modes this is replaced by the Hadamard two-point function, the vacuum expectation value of the anti-commutator of non-local field operators.

title: Deconvolution of DNA Mixtures Using Replicate Sampling and TrueAllele® Mixture Interpretation
Creators: name: Antillon, Sara
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: DNA
subject: Genotyping

description: Analysis of DNA mixture evidence does not always yield distinct profiles. This process is further complicated with low template DNA (LT-DNA)samples often seen in forensic casework. Traditional qualitative methods use thresholds to distinguish allele peaks from stutter peaks, noise, etc.resulting in data being omitted during analysis. In cases where LT-DNA is present, low peaks that could potentially be attributed to low contributor profiles may not be called due to these instituted thresholds. The probabilistic genotyping computer software program created by Cybergenetics (Pittsburgh, PA), TrueAllele® Casework, considers all data and performs quantitative analysis using probability to represent uncertainty. It objectively forms likelihood ratios (LR) that compare the probabilities of an evidentiary genotype with a suspect genotype relative to a reference population. A joint likelihood function (JLF) takes two or more independent sets of data and compares them jointly as opposed to a single event. The JLFcan elicit more identification information proving useful in DNA mixture analysis. This project used TrueAllele® Casework to perform DNA mixture analysis on two sets of previously published mixture data provided by Cybergenetics. The first set comprised 40 two contributor mixture samples and the second set included four sets of 10 randomized mixtures with two, three, four, and five contributors, respectively. The selected samples were interpreted singly and jointly in three variable groups: mixture weight, template concentration, and complex mixtures. The differences between the match logLRs of the single and joint analyses were calculated and an information gain was seen in all three groups when the samples were analyzed jointly. Changing DNA collection and amplification procedures for touch andDNA mixture evidence samples will increase the amount of data available forDNA mixture analysis using probabilistic genotyping. These procedures can be modified so that multiple swabs and replicate amplifications produce more data that TrueAllele can analyze using the JLF. Jointly analyzing each independent evidence data can lead to higher match statistics which will ultimately help in the identification of those who commit crimes.

title: The Israeli Ethos of Conflict 1967-2006
Creators: name: Oren, Neta
Publisher: name: School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Arab-Israeli Conflict

description: This study focuses on a major component of the psychological repertoire that evolves during an intractable conflict – the ethos of conflict and the changes in this ethos over time. The study presents a theoretical framework that can be used to analyze and explain changes in ethos of intractable conflict, and also refers to the relationship between changes in the ethos and policy preferences in the realm of conflict resolution. The study then uses the Arab-Israeli conflict and related ethos as a case study for the application of this framework. Analysis of Israeli opinion polls, cultural products and political platforms revealed that during the years 1977 until 2000 some of the beliefs that comprised the Israeli ethos of conflict lost their status as widely held societal beliefs (for example beliefs rejecting the Palestinian claims to self-determination). Other beliefs retained their place in the conflict ethos but their support in the Israeli public diminished (beliefs extolling the prestige of the Israeli military). Still other beliefs, specifically about peace and about the nature of the existential threat to Israel, significantly changed their content. These changes in turn intensified the internal contradictions between the beliefs in the ethos. After an initial suppression and denial, the Israeli society started acknowledging the inconsistencies among its ethos values (for instance, maintaining a Jewish majority, democracy, and peace) and tried to solve them by changing the context that was activating the inconsistencies. The end result of all of the changes described above was a reduced tendency to consider the conflict as a sum-zero game, an increase of motivation to end the conflict, and of optimism about finding a solution – the two main conditions producing ripeness for conflict resolution. However, the events of 2000 with the eruption of the Second Intifada and its violence reversed the trend and restrengthened some of the societal beliefs in the ethos of conflict, which caused the current decrease in Israeli optimism and motivation to end the conflict.

description: In models in which some of the scalar field are charged and some uncharged, interactions with a finite temperature plasma will lead to corrections to the effective potential of the charged fields which may stabilize embedded defects made up of uncharged fields. In these models embedded defects, solutions of the field equations which are unstable at zero temperature, may thus be stable in the early Universe, and may then play an important role in cosmology. Two prototypical examples are the pion string in the theory of strong interactions, and the electroweak Z-string in the standard electroweak theory.

description: Ever increasing hardware capabilities and computation powers have made acquisition and analysis of big scientific data at the nanoscale routine, though much of the data acquired often turns out to be redundant, noisy, and/or irrelevant to the problems of interests, and it remains nontrivial to draw clear mechanistic insights from pure data analytics. In this work, we use scanning probe microscopy (SPM) as an example to demonstrate deep data methodology, transitioning from brute force analytics such as data mining, correlation analysis, and unsupervised classification to informed and/or targeted causative data analytics built on sound physical understanding. Three key ingredients of such deep data analytics are presented. A sequential excitation scanning probe microscopy (SE-SPM) technique is first adopted to acquire high quality, efficient, and physically relevant data, which can be easily implemented on any standard atomic force microscope (AFM). Brute force physical analysis is then carried out using simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) model, enabling us to derive intrinsic electromechanical coupling of interests. Finally, principal component analysis (PCA) is carried out, which not only speeds up the analysis by four orders of magnitude, but also allows a clear physical interpretation of its modes in combination with SHO analysis. A rough piezoelectric material has been probed using such strategy, enabling us to map its intrinsic electromechanical properties at the nanoscale with high fidelity, where conventional methods fail. The SE in combination with deep data methodology can be easily adapted for other SPM techniques to probe a wide range of functional phenomena at the nanoscale.

title: The Problem of Sympathy-Seeking Projectors: Adam Smith’s Support of Usury Laws as Prudential Credit Rationing

description: THE TRANSFORMATION AND DECEPTION OF PROJECTORSEdward Austin Middleton, Ph.D George Mason University, 2021 Dissertation Director: Dr. David M. Levy Economic analysis since the beginning of the 19th century has regarded the ‘projector’ as an entrepreneur: one who bears the cost of uncertainty by reorganizing the structure of production in order to reap benefits of that reorganization. In this paper we examine the preceding 2000 years of literary record to demonstrate that uncertainty and productive reorganization were not the sole concerns regarding projectors, but instead the concerns were focused on transparency, methods, and vice. PROJECTORS AS CHIMERIAL MEN OF SYSTEMEdward Austin Middleton, Ph.D George Mason University, 2021 Dissertation Director: Dr. David M. Levy Jeremy Bentham accused Adam Smith of inconsistency in his Defense of Usury, characterizing “projectors” as beneficial entrepreneurs who should not be prohibited from borrowing at high rates of interest on the grounds that even their failures would lead to economic growth. A close look at Adam Smith’s work finds that Bentham misunderstands Smith’s argument; that narrowly defining projectors as entrepreneurs is inappropriately applied to the market institutions of the time; and that Smith develops and consistently applies a theory of market agency through his work that defends his advocacy of price ceilings in financial markets even as he rejects its application elsewhere. WELFARE ENHANCING USURY RESTRICTIONSEdward Austin Middleton, Ph.D; Christopher R. Fleming George Mason University, 2021 Dissertation Director: Dr. David M. Levy Chapter 3 uses a Constant Elasticities of Substitution function to model agents’ internal relative utilities when presented with risks that potentially yield both reclusive and sympathetic rewards, converting the two sources of utility into a single dimension willingness to pay. These agents offer interest rates as bids on investment funds depending on their perceived utility gain. Lenders maximize the loan portfolio’s expected profits. Interest rate price ceilings are imposed on this market to compare aggregate performance among price ceiling regimes, and the process repeated. The results demonstrate interest rate price ceilings theoretically may be efficacious at excluding sympathy-seeking agents from credit markets, improving overall economic growth.
Dimensional versus cut-off renormalization and the nucleon-nucleon interaction

description: The role of dimensional regularization is discussed and compared with that of cut-off regularization in some quantum mechanical problems with ultraviolet divergence in two and three dimensions with special emphasis on the nucleon-nucleon interaction. Both types of renormalizations are performed for attractive divergent one- and two-term separable potentials, a divergent tensor potential, and the sum of a delta function and its derivatives. We allow energy-dependent couplings, and determine the form that these couplings should take if equivalence between the two regularization schemes is to be enforced. We also perform renormalization of an attractive separable potential superposed on an analytic divergent potential.

Emergent scale invariance of non-classical plasmons in graphene nanoribbons

description: Using a nearest-neighbor tight-binding model we investigate quantum effects of plasmons on few-nanometer wide graphene nanoribbons, both for zigzag and armchair edge terminations. With insight from the Dirac description we find an emerging scale-invariant behavior that deviates from the classical model both for zigzag and armchair structures. The onset of the deviation can be related to the position of the lowest parabolic band in the band structure. Dirac theory is only valid in the parameter subspace where the scale invariance holds that relates narrow ribbons with high doping to wide ribbons with low doping. We also find that the edge states present in zigzag ribbons give rise to a blueshift of the plasmon, in contrast to earlier findings for graphene nanodisks and nanotriangles.

description: We study the phase diagram, ground state properties, and excitation gaps of a frustrated spin-Peierls chain, i.e. a spin-Peierls chain with both nearest neighbor exchange $J_1$ and next nearest neighbor exchange $J_2$. The phase diagram is calculated using a bosonization Renormalization-Group (RG) method. We propose a (bosonic) bond-operator mean field approximation to calculate the ground state properties and excitation gaps.
