title: In Search of the Performer’s Way: The Work of Jerzy Grotowski
from the Perspective of Daoism
Creators: name: Song, Jong Hyuk
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2019

description: The work of Jerzy Grotowski is investigated within the perspective of Daoism as it is
discoursed in the classical Chinese text, Dao De Jing. In identifying its connection with
the intellectual achievements of Grotowski’s contemporary Europe, i.e., Niels Bohr’s
principle of complementarity in quantum physics and Jacques Derrida’s notion of
différance in deconstructionism, Daoism provides an illuminating framework for
comprehending Grotowski’s praxis. The philosophical notions of Daoism may be seen as
underpinning Grotowski’s two most important principles, conjunctio oppositorum
(conjunction of opposites) and via negativa (way of negation), whose implication can be
encapsulated as the interaction of opposite pairs in the unceasing process. With these
principles, the actors of the Theatre Laboratory accomplished the ‘total act’, an act of the
body-text that embraces both one’s self and one’s cultural heritage, in the Poor Theatre in
which novel actor/spectator relationships were also tested. In his post-theatrical work,
Grotowski deepened his investigations of the performer’s body, which was finally
identified as the body of essence of ‘the doer’. Grotowski’s lifetime research, in short,
involved a persistent process of searching for the genuine body of the performer, which is
clearly comprehended in the Daoist perspective that the world exists in the constant
process of interplay between the fundamental pair of opposites, being (有, yǒu) and nonbeing
(無, wú).
Dual Superconformal Symmetry from AdS5 x S5 Superstring Integrability

description: We discuss 2d duality transformations in the classical AdS5 x S5 superstring and their effect on the integrable structure. T-duality along four directions in Poincare parametrization of AdS5 maps the bosonic part of the superstring action into itself. On bosonic level, this duality may be understood as a symmetry of the first-order (phase space) system of equations for the coset components of the current. The associated Lax connection is invariant modulo the action of an so(2,4)-automorphism. We then show that this symmetry extends to the full superstring, provided one supplements the transformation of the bosonic components of the current with a transformation on the fermionic ones. At the level of the action, this symmetry can be seen by combining the bosonic duality transformation with a similar one applied to part of the fermionic superstring coordinates. As a result, the full superstring action is mapped into itself, albeit in a different kappa-symmetry gauge. One implication is that the dual model has the same superconformal symmetry group as the original one, and this may be seen as a consequence of the integrability of the superstring. The invariance of the Lax connection under the duality implies a map on the full set of conserved charges that should interchange some of the Noether (local) charges with hidden (non-local) ones and vice versa.

Dynamics of gravity oriented axi-symmetric satellites with thermally flexed appendages
Creators: name: Ng, Chun Ki Alfred
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The equations of motion for a satellite with a rigid central body and a pair of appendages deforming due to thermal effects of the solar radiation are derived. The dynamics of the system is studied in two stages: (i) librational dynamics of the central body with quasi-steady thermally flexed appendages; (ii) coupled librational/vibrational dynamics of the spacecraft. Response of the system is investigated numerically over a range of system parameters and effect of the thermal deformations assessed. The study indicates that for a circular orbit, the flexible system can become unstable under critical combinations of system parameters and initial conditions although the corresponding rigid system continues to be stable. However, in eccentric orbits, depending on the initial conditions, thermally flexed appendages can stabilize or destabliIize the system. Attempt is also made to obtain an approximate closed-form (analytical) solution of the problem to quickly assess trends and gain better physical appreciation of response characteristics during the preliminary design. Comparisons with numerical results show approximate analysis to be of an acceptable accuracy for the intended objective. The closed-form solution can be used with a measure of confidence thus promising a substantial saving in time, effort, and computational cost.
Residual eccentricity of inspiralling orbits at the gravitational-wave detection threshold: Accurate estimates using post-Newtonian theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We use equations of motion containing gravitational radiation-reaction terms through 4.5 post-Newtonian order to calculate the late-time eccentricities of inspiraling binary systems of non-spinning compact bodies as they cross the detection threshold of ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers. The initial eccentricities can be as large as 0.999. We find that the final eccentricities are systematically smaller than those predicted by the leading quadrupole approximation, by as much as 30 percent for a 300 solar mass binary crossing the LIGO/Virgo detection threshold at 10 Hz, or eight percent smaller for a 60 solar mass binary. We find an analytic formula for the late-time eccentricity that accurately accounts for the higher-order post-Newtonian effects, generalizing a formula derived by Peters and Mathews in the 1960s. We also find that the final eccentricities are independent of the ratio of the masses of the two compact bodies to better than two percent.

description: We present the results of direct simulation of the expansionof a two-component ultracold plasmafor various numbers of particles, densities, and electron temperatures. A description of the expansionprocess common to all plasma parameters is given. After the escape of fast electrons from the plasmacloud, the excess positive charge is localized at the outer boundary, in a narrow layer. This layerhas a characteristic front shape with a sharp drop in the charge concentration. The charged layerretains the remaining electrons during the entire expansion process. As the plasma expands, thespeed of movement of the charged layer becomes constant and significantly exceeds the sonic speedof ions. In addition, the dependence of the radial velocity of ions on the radius acquires a self-similarcharacter long before the final stage of expansion. On the basis of the calculation results, equationsand self-similar solutions are obtained. General dependences on plasma parameters are determined,which are compared with experimental data.

description: During a community reading program with Chinese mothers, the researcher in this study helped the mothers with higher-level questions to promote young children’s abstract and critical thinking. With a multiple baseline design, the researcher of the current study coached five mothers of young children on how to ask Higher-level questions during dialogic reading. With timely feedback and collaborative work with the coach, the coachees significantly increased their number of higher-level questions. The children participating in this study also improved greatly in their expressive vocabulary. The results of the study indicate that these parents need explicit instruction on higher-level questions and coaching in a one-on-one format was effective in improving the critical thinking skills of children.

description: Knowledge Graphs (KGs) such as Resource Description Framework (RDF) data represent relationships between various entities through the structure of triples (). Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) is crucial in machine learning applications, specifically in node classification and link prediction tasks. KGE remains a vital research topic within the semantic web community. RDF-star introduces the concept of a quoted triple (QT), a specific form of triple employed either as the subject or object within another triple. Moreover, RDF-star permits a QT to act as compositional entities within another QT, thereby enabling the representation of recursive, hyper-relational KGs with nested structures. However, existing KGE models fail to adequately learn the semantics of QTs and entities, primarily because they do not account for RDF-star graphs containing multi-leveled nested QTs and QT-QT relationships. This study introduces RDF-star2Vec, a novel KGE model specifically designed for RDF-star graphs. RDF-star2Vec introduces graph walk techniques that enable probabilistic transitions between a QT and its compositional entities. Feature vectors for QTs, entities, and relations are derived from generated sequences through the structured skip-gram model. Additionally, we provide a dataset and a benchmarking framework for data mining tasks focused on complex RDF-star graphs. Evaluative experiments demonstrated that RDF-star2Vec yielded superior performance compared to recent extensions of RDF2Vec in various tasks including classification, clustering, entity relatedness, and QT similarity.

description: As a basic characteristic of cosmic ray (CR) propagation, the diffusive halo can advance our understanding of many CR-related studies and indirect dark matter. The method to derive the halo size usually has degeneracy problems thus affected by large uncertainties. The diffusion gamma ray from high-latitude clouds might shed light on the halo size independently. Since the spatially dependent propagation (SDP) model has a better agreement with the observed CRs, compared with conventional propagation model, in this work, we investigate the halo thickness based on SDP model with Fermi-LAT $\rmγ$-ray observation on the high- and intermediate-velocity clouds. As a result, in order not to exceed the relative $γ$-ray emissivity in the high-latitude clouds, halo thickness should be in the range of $\rm ~3.3\sim9~ kpc$. Moreover, the spatial morphology of $\rmγ$-rays estimated based on SDP model under different values of halo thickness are distinctive, which provides us a tool to determine the halo size. We hope that our model could be tested and tuned by multi-wavelength observations in the future.

INAPPROPRIATE LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS, IN CHILDREN WITH PREDYALITIC CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY
Creators: name: Romano, Carmela
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2008

description: Background: Increased left ventricular (LV) mass in children with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) might represent an adaptive mechanism to compensate for increased workload. We hypothesize that in pre-dialysis CRI children, values of LV mass exceed compensatory value for individual cardiac load. Methods: Complete anthropometrics, biochemical profile and echocardiograms were obtained in 33 children with pre-dialysis CRI (age 1-23 yrs, mean 12.2±5.0 yrs; 22 males) and 33 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. LV dimensions and wall thicknesses were measured from the M-mode, LV volume and long-axis dimension from the 2-D, blood pressure from 24-hour ambulatory recordings. Endocardial shortening, ejection fraction, LV mass, LV mass index, relative wall thickness, circumferential wall stress, and excess of LV mass (as ratio of observed LV mass to value predicted from body size, gender, and cardiac workload) were analyzed. Results: CRI patients showed higher values of indexed LV chamber diameter and LV mass index, resulting in significantly higher prevalence of LVH (36.3 vs 9%; all p<0.05). In addition CRI patients showed lower LV ejection fraction, lower midwall fractional shortening and lower stress-corected midwall shortening. The ratio of excess of LV mass was significantly greater in CRI patients than in normal controls (126±19 vs 103±13%; p<0.001). Conclusions: In CRI children values of LV mass are higher than those needed to sustain individual cardiac load compared to normal controls, a condition associated with LVH and reduced systolic performance.

description: We consider $\mathcal{N=1}$ superconformal field theories in three-dimensions possessing a conserved current multiplet $\mathcal{F}_{ (α_{1} α_{2} α_{3} α_{4}) }$ which we refer to as the superspin-2 current multiplet. At the component level it contains a conserved spin-2 current different from the energy-momentum tensor and a conserved fermionic higher spin current of spin 5/2. Using a superspace formulation, we calculate correlation functions involving $\mathcal{F}$, focusing particularly on the three-point function $ \langle \mathcal{F} \mathcal{F} \mathcal{F} \rangle $. After imposing the constraints arising from conservation equations and invariance under permutation of superspace points, we find that the parity-even and parity-odd sectors of this three-point function are each fixed up to a single coefficient. The presence of the parity-odd contribution is rather non-trivial, as there is an apparent tension between supersymmetry and the existence of parity-odd structures.

description: The equation of state (EOS) of dense nuclear matter is a key factor to determine the internal structure and properties of neutron stars. However, the EOS of high-density nuclear matter has great uncertainty mainly because the terrestrial nuclear experiments cannot reproduce matter as dense as that in the inner core of a neutron star. Fortunately, continuous improvements in astronomical observations of neutron stars provide the opportunity to inversely constrain the EOS of high-density nuclear matter. A number of methods have been proposed to implement this inverse constraint, such as the Bayesian analysis algorithm, the Lindblom's approach, and so on. Neural network algorithm is an effective new method developed in recent years. By employing a set of isospin-dependent parametric EOSs as the training sample of neural network algorithm, we set up an effective way to reconstruct the EOS with relative accuracy through a few mass-radius data. Based on the obtained neural network algorithms and according to the NICER observations on masses and radii of neutron stars with assumed precision, we get the inversely constrained EOS and further calculate the corresponding macroscopic properties of the neutron star. The results are basically consistent with the constraint on EOS from the Huth $et~ al.$ based on Bayesian analysis. Moreover, the results show that even though the neural network algorithm was obtained by using the finite parameterized EOS as the training set, it is valid for any rational parameter combination of the parameterized EOS model.

Two configurations of an external electric field perpendicular and parallel to the QW planes are considered in the energetic region for discrete excitonic states and continuum states. With the help of the real density matrix approach, which enables the derivation of the analytical expressions for the QW electro-optical functions, absorption spectra are calculated for the case of the excitation energy below the gap energy.

In addition, we present the observation of an enhancement for the $\Dbar^{*0} D^0$ invariant mass in the decays $B \to \Dbar^{*0} D^0 K$, at a mass of $(3875.1 {}^{+0.7}_{-0.5} \pm 0.5)$ MeV/$c^2$ with a width of $(3.0 {}^{+1.9}_{-1.4} \pm 0.9)$ MeV (the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic). Branching fractions and spin studies are shown for the three resonances. The results are based on 347 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II $B$ factory.

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: Nominal terms extend first-order terms with binding. They lack some properties of first- and higher-order terms: Terms must be reasoned about in a context of 'freshness assumptions'; it is not always possible to 'choose a fresh variable symbol' for a nominal term; it is not always possible to 'alpha-convert a bound variable symbol' or to 'quotient by alpha-equivalence'; the notion of unifier is not based just on substitution.
 Permissive nominal terms closely resemble nominal terms but they recover these properties, and in particular the 'always fresh' and 'always rename' properties. In the permissive world, freshness contexts are elided, equality is fixed, and the notion of unifier is based on substitution alone rather than on nominal terms' notion of unification based on substitution plus extra freshness conditions.
 We prove that expressivity is not lost moving to the permissive case and provide an injection of nominal terms unification problems and their solutions into permissive nominal terms problems and their solutions. We investigate the relation between permissive nominal unification and higher-order pattern unification. We show how to translate permissive nominal unification problems and solutions in a sound, complete, and optimal manner, in suitable senses which we make formal.

description: Phase-Rectified Signal Averaging (PRSA) was shown to be a powerful tool for the study of quasi-periodic oscillations and nonlinear effects in non-stationary signals. Here we present a bivariate PRSA technique for the study of the inter-relationship between two simultaneous data recordings. Its performance is compared with traditional cross-correlation analysis, which, however, does not work well for non-stationary data and cannot distinguish the coupling directions in complex nonlinear situations. We show that bivariate PRSA allows the analysis of events in one signal at times where the other signal is in a certain phase or state; it is stable in the presence of noise and impassible to non-stationarities.

description: Il miglioramento dell’efficienza dei sistemi irrigui rappresenta un obiettivo di primaria importanza nella gestione razionale delle risorse idriche in agricoltura.
Andamento e sviluppo spazio-temporale dei processi fisici agenti all’interno di tali sistemi  e la particolare configurazione e/o entità strutturale del complesso indagato possono decisamente influire sul funzionamento globale; rispettivamente se ne richiedono l’attenta e idonea definizione, per cui cognizione, ed ampie possibilità di accertamento, rilievo, monitoraggio e controllo.
A tal fine, possono rivelarsi di notevole ausilio strumenti quali i modelli di bilancio e simulazione (idrologica e colturale) e tecniche di telerilevamento satellitare; le metodologie sono state recentemente applicate per l’impiego del supporto e della procedura “SIMODIS” (SIMulation of On-Demand Irrigation Systems; D’Urso, 2001), ideata per simulare ed analizzare la condotta dei sistemi irrigui con esercizio alla domanda, in via deterministica.
Nel caso specifico, l’esperienza ha consentito di valutare ovvero apprezzare differenti scenari di gestione della risorsa idrica nell’ambito comprensoriale del “Boscariello”, in Destra Sele (Eboli, Salerno, Campania, Italia).
In definitiva, il medesimo approccio può estendersi alle diverse scale e proporsi per il supporto alle decisioni in senso lato, rivelandosi indubbiamente il più valido, oltre che il più efficace nell’affrontare e soluzionare problematiche di pianificazione, allocazione e gestione delle stesse risorse anche in altre sfere o settori.

description: We previously reported that neuraminidase (NA) pretreatment of human PBMCs markedly increased their cytokine response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To study the mechanisms by which this occurs, we transfected HEK293T cells with plasmids encoding TLR4, CD14, and MD2 (three components of the LPS receptor complex), as well as a NF?B luciferase reporting system. Both TLR4 and MD2 encoded by the plasmids are ?-2,6 sialylated. HEK293T cells transfected with TLR4/MD2/CD14 responded robustly to the addition of LPS; however, omission of the MD2 plasmid abrogated this response. Addition of culture supernatants from MD2 (sMD2)-transfected HEK293T cells, but not recombinant, non-glycosylated MD2 reconstituted this response. NA treatment of sMD2 enhanced the LPS response as did NA treatment of the TLR4/CD14-transfected cell supplemented with untreated sMD2, but optimal LPS-initiated responses were observed with NA-treated TLR4/CD14-transfected cells supplemented with NA-treated sMD2. We hypothesized that removal of negatively charged sialyl residues from glycans on the TLR4 complex would hasten the dimerization of TLR4 monomers required for signaling. Co-transfection of HEK293T cells with separate plasmids encoding either YFP- or FLAG-tagged TLR4, followed by treatment with NA and stimulation with LPS, led to an earlier and more robust time-dependent dimerization of TLR4 monomers on co-immunoprecipitation, compared to untreated cells. These findings were confirmed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis. Overexpression of human Neu1 increased LPS-initiated TLR4-mediated NF?B activation and a NA inhibitor suppressed its activation. We conclude that (1) sialyl residues on TLR4 modulate LPS responsiveness, perhaps by facilitating clustering of the homodimers, and that (2) sialic acid, and perhaps other glycosyl species, regulate MD2 activity required for LPS-mediated signaling. We speculate that endogenous sialidase activity mobilized during cell activation may play a role in this regulation.

description: Con la presente ricerca si è cercato di esaminare la correlazione tra composizione in tipi di fibre e qualità della carne suina, le caratteristiche organolettiche e l'attitudine alla trasformazione in prosciutto da parte dell'industria alimentare. Si è cercato di creare un modello matematico di previsione della crescita corporea, basato sui fattori determinanti la potenzialità delle produzioni da parte degli animali allevati (fattori genetici, nutrizionali e ambientali). Si Sono voluti identificare ed inserire anche alcuni parametri genetici che tenessero conto delle caratteristiche proprie della muscolarità del suino (isoforma di tipo 2B e iperplasia). Si è quindi analizzato il tempo di comparsa dell'isoforma del tipo 2B durante lo sviluppo e l'accrescimento in muscoli a diversa composizione in tipi di fibre. Per lo studio delle cause della comparsa dell'iperplasia post natale, sono stati studiati l'espressione e la localizzazione dei fattori di crescita che nei mammiferi sono coinvolti nello sviluppo e differenziamento del muscolo scheletrico. Nella ricerca si sono inoltre esaminati: fattori miogenici trascrizionali quali MyoD, Myf5, Miogenina, MRF4 e MEF2; geni quale il gene Pax 7 che agiscono sulle cellule staminali pluripotenti differenziandole in precursori miogenici; espressione dei fattori appartenenti alle superfamiglie delle IGF e dei TGF-; espressione della miostatina.

description: This communication reports the formation and characterization of self assembled films of a low molecular weight anionic dye amaranth and polycation Poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) by electrostatic alternating Layer-by-Layer (LBL) adsorption. It was observed that there was almost no material loss occurred during adsorption process. The UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of amaranth solution reveal that with the increase in amaranth concentration in solution, the aggregated species starts to dominate over the monomeric species. New aggregated band at 600 nm was observed in amaranth-PAH mixture solution absorption spectrum. A new broad low intense band at the longer wavelength region, in the amaranth-PAH mixture solution fluorescence spectrum was observed due to the closer association of amaranth molecule while tagged into the polymer backbone of PAH and consequent formation of aggregates. The broad band system in the 650-750 nm region in the fluorescence spectra of different layered LBL films changes in intensity distribution among various bands within itself, with changing layer number and at 10 bilayer LBL films the longer wavelength band at 710 nm becomes prominent. Existence of dimeric or higher order n-meric species in the LBL films was confirmed by excitation spectroscopic studies. Almost 45 minute was required to complete the interaction between amaranth and PAH molecules in the 1-bilayer LBL film.

description: Sharing research artifacts is known to help people to build upon existing knowledge, adopt novel contributions in practice, and increase the chances of papers receiving attention. In Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), openly providing research artifacts plays a key role, even more so as the community targets a broader use of AI techniques, which can only become feasible if large open datasets and confidence measures for their quality are available. However, the current lack of common discipline-specific guidelines for research data sharing opens the opportunity for misunderstandings about the true potential of research artifacts and subjective expectations regarding artifact quality. To address this issue, we introduce a set of guidelines for artifact sharing specifically tailored to MDE research. To design this guidelines set, we systematically analyzed general-purpose artifact sharing practices of major computer science venues and tailored them to the MDE domain. Subsequently, we conducted an online survey with 90 researchers and practitioners with expertise in MDE. We investigated our participants' experiences in developing and sharing artifacts in MDE research and the challenges encountered while doing so. We then asked them to prioritize each of our guidelines as essential, desirable, or unnecessary. Finally, we asked them to evaluate our guidelines with respect to clarity, completeness, and relevance. In each of these dimensions, our guidelines were assessed positively by more than 92\% of the participants. To foster the reproducibility and reusability of our results, we make the full set of generated artifacts available in an open repository at \texttt{\url{https://mdeartifacts.github.io/}}.

description: Certain serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica cause invasive disease (e.g., enteric fever, bacteremia, septicemia, meningitis, etc.) in humans and constitute a global public health problem. A rapid, sensitive diagnostic test is needed to allow prompt initiation of therapy in individual patients and for measuring disease burden at the population level. An innovative and promising new rapid diagnostic technique is microwave-accelerated metal-enhanced fluorescence (MAMEF). We have adapted this assay platform to detect the chromosomal oriC locus common to all Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovars. We have shown efficient lysis of biologically relevant concentrations of Salmonella spp. suspended in bacteriological media using microwave-induced lysis. Following lysis and DNA release, as little as 1 CFU of Salmonella in 1 ml of medium can be detected in <30 seconds. Furthermore the assay is sensitive and specific: it can detect oriC from Salmonella serovars Typhi, Paratyphi A, Paratyphi B, Paratyphi C, Typhimurium, Enteritidis and Choleraesuis but does not detect Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae or Acinetobacter baumanii. We have also performed preliminary experiments using a synthetic Salmonella oriC oligonucleotide suspended in whole human blood and observed rapid detection when the sample was diluted 1?1 with PBS. These pre-clinical data encourage progress to the next step to detect Salmonella in blood (and other ordinarily sterile, clinically relevant body fluids).

description: We introduce string-bond states, a class of states obtained by placing strings of operators on a lattice, which encompasses the relevant states in Quantum Information. For string-bond states, expectation values of local observables can be computed efficiently using Monte Carlo sampling, making them suitable for a variational abgorithm which extends DMRG to higher dimensional and irregular systems. Numerical results demonstrate the applicability of these states to the simulation of many-body sytems.

description: We present a study of the polarization of the $Υ(1S)$ and $Υ(2S)$ states using a $1.3 $ fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected by the D0 experiment in 2002--2006 during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We measure the polarization parameter $α=(σ_{T}-2σ_{L})/(σ_{T}+2σ_{L})$, where $σ_{T}$ and $σ_{L}$ are the transversely and longitudinally polarized components of the production cross section, as a function of the transverse momentum ($p_{T}^Υ$) for the $Υ(1S)$ and $Υ(2S)$. Significant $p_{T}^Υ$-dependent longitudinal polarization is observed for the $Υ(1S)$. A comparison with theoretical models is presented.
