Jonson and Shakespeare: Oedipal Revenge

Jonson's attacks on Shakespeare's popular stagecraft, in the Induction to Bartholomew Fair and the Prologue to the folio version of Every Man In His Humour, are both well known. This essay argues that the focus of these attacks extends to an area of the dramatists' rivalry that has not hitherto been explored, in the presentation of their plays at court. While it is known that Shakespeare's plays were frequently performed at court the evidence for the presentation of Jonson's plays there is more patchy. But the essay marshals it to suggest that the sequence of plays collected in the 1616 Works is in part a proud record of their performance at court, where he was now poet laureate in all but title, while the Prologue to Every Man In implicitly questions the fitness of Shakespeare's plays for presentation there. Such questioning extends into Bartholomew Fair itself, whose presentation at court on the first day of the 1614/15 Revels season has all the appearance of a command performance. Winwife's choice of t.
Per/forming Memorial: Site specific Performances of Shakespeare's All is True: King Henry VIII (2006 2013)

This essay examines diverse commemorative acts of reception in four recent productions of Shakespeare and Fletcher's All is True: King Henry VIII staged in locations we associate with Shakespeare's life and career: Holy Trinity Church in Stratford upon Avon (2006) The Rose archaeological site (2008) Shakespeare's Globe (2010) and the Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, Virginia (2013) By using established theories regarding "ghosting," location, memory and the archive developed by Marvin Carlson, Peggy Phelan, Joseph Roach, Pierre Nora, Rebecca Schneider and others, this paper attempts to determine how any endeavor to gain real or imagined proximity to Shakespeare's life and drama is less a re creative act than a creative one. It marks the 1989 discoveries of the Rose and Globe archaeological sites as a turning point for subsequent experiments in architectural reconstruction and Shakespeare performance and offers a basic taxonomy of real or imagined resonances of authenticity available in heritage locations. While acknowledging that these memorial sites stand in as surrogates, or "sites of memory," for the lost or displaced originals, this paper concludes by asking if performances such as these offer a satisfying repositioning of the present, by privileging the performance of what remains, that also diminishes our nostalgic yearning for further recovery of the historical locations and events they commemorate.
Arden of Faversham and Shakespeare's Early Collaborations: The Evidence of Meter

Most recent specialists in the attribution of authorship agree that the three Henry VI plays and Titus Andronicus, of the Shakespeare First Folio (1623) are collaborative, and that Shakespeare was also a coauthor of the anonymously published Edward III (1596) There is also growing support for the view that the middle scenes, 4 9, of the anonymous domestic tragedy Arden of Faversham (1592) were largely, if not wholly, Shakespeare's. The evidence for all these conclusions has come mainly from computational analyses of lexical words and rates of use of high frequency function words, from database searches of rare phrases and collocations, and from the detection of stylistic and sub stylistic patterns of usage. Marina Tarlinskaja's newly published investigation of the versification of English drama of the period 1561 1642 enables the allocations of shares in what are held to be Shakespeare's early collaborations to be tested against her carefully compiled metrical data. Tarlinskaja is aware of the divisions of authorship proposed by modern attributionists and presents her counts of various verse features accordingly. Statistical analysis of the figures in her tables for the above mentioned plays provides broad support for the latest findings. In particular, scenes 4 9 of Arden of Faversham, unlike the rest of the play, are significantly more akin metrically to the putatively Shakespearean portions of the four Folio plays and Edward III than to the putatively non Shakespearean portions.
Selling Shakespeare: Biography, Bibliography, and the Book Trade

Selling Shakespeare tells a new story about Shakespeare's life and career in print, a story centered on the people who created, bought, and sold books in the early modern period. The interests and investments of publishers and booksellers have defined our ideas of what is "Shakespearean," and attending to their interests demonstrates how one version of Shakespearean authorship surpassed the rest. In this book Adam Hooks identifies and examines four pivotal episodes in Shakespeare's life in print: the debut of his narrative poems, the appearance of a series of best selling plays, the publication of collected editions of his works, and the cataloguing of those works. Hooks also offers a new kind of biographical investigation and historicist criticism, one based not on external life documents, nor on the texts of Shakespeare's works, but on the books that were printed, published, sold, circulated, collected, and catalogued under his name.
Fabrication and Nonlinear Thermomechanical Analysis of SU8 Thermal Actuator
Venue: Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems

SU8 based micromechanical structures are widely used as thermal actuators in the development of compliant micromanipulation tools. This paper reports the design, nonlinear thermomechanical analysis, fabrication, and thermal actuation of SU8 actuators. The thermomechanical analysis of the actuator incorporates nonlinear temperature dependent properties of SU8 polymer to accurately model its thermal response during actuation. The designed SU8 thermal actuators are fabricated using surface micromachining techniques and the electrical interconnects are made to them using flip chip bonding. The issues due to thermal stress during fabrication are discussed and a novel strategy is proposed to release the thermal stress in the fabricated actuators. Subsequent characterization of the actuator using an optical profilometer reveals excellent thermal response, good repeatability, and low hysteresis. The average deflection is ~8.5 mm for an actuation current of ~5 mA. The experimentally obtained deflection profile and the tip deflection at different currents are both shown to be in good agreement with the predictions of the nonlinear thermomechanical model. This underscores the need to consider nonlinearities when modeling the response of SU8 thermal actuators.
Path planning for mobile robot using self adaptive learning particle swarm optimization
Venue: Science China Information Sciences

As a challenging optimization problem, path planning for mobile robot refers to searching an optimal or near optimal path under different types of constrains in complex environments. In this paper, a self adaptive learning particle swarm optimization (SLPSO) with different learning strategies is proposed to address this problem. First, we transform the path planning problem into a minimisation multi objective optimization problem and formulate the objective function by considering three objectives: path length, collision risk degree and smoothness. Then, a novel self adaptive learning mechanism is developed to adaptively select the most suitable search strategies at different stages of the optimization process, which can improve the search ability of particle swarm optimization (PSO) Moreover, in order to enhance the feasibility of the generated paths, we further apply the new bound violation handling schemes to restrict the velocity and position of each particle. Finally, experiments respectively with a simulated robot and a real robot are conducted and the results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of SLPSO in solving mobile robot path planning problem.

Venue: 2016 Biennial International Conference on Power and Energy Systems: Towards Sustainable Energy (PESTSE)

Power quality disturbance is a one the challenging issues, where many researchers are gaining the attention towards it, now a day it is very much necessary to monitor power quality disturbances for analyze and other purpose. The quantity of the data captured in present power quality monitoring system has been increasing drastically. It is difficult to store and transmission huge data. So compression technique is required to reduce the storage space for data. This paper proposes Dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) method for power quality monitoring and integrates run length encoding technique for compress disturbance data. Voltage sag, swell, transients and flickers are Power quality disturbances used to test the proposed method. And Matlab was used for generation of test signals and to implement the different algorithms for data compression.
Wavelet packet decomposition for power quality monitoring in smart grid
Venue: 2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting

In this paper, a framework for the smart grid (SG) power quality (PQ) monitoring system based on wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) is proposed to detect PQ disturbances. This paper proposes an effective technique for PQ disturbances detection based on the inter and intra scale correlation of the wavelet packet coefficients. The wavelet packet coefficients are not only correlated within its own scale but also across the adjacent scales. This approach has been evaluated using both simulated and real power system disturbance data.

Seq NMS for Video Object Detection
Venue: ArXiv

Video object detection is challenging because objects that are easily detected in one frame may be difficult to detect in another frame within the same clip. Recently, there have been major advances for doing object detection in a single image. These methods typically contain three phases: (i) object proposal generation (ii) object classification and (iii) post processing. We propose a modification of the post processing phase that uses high scoring object detections from nearby frames to boost scores of weaker detections within the same clip. We show that our method obtains superior results to state of the art single image object detection techniques. Our method placed 3rd in the video object detection (VID) task of the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge 2015 (ILSVRC2015)
THE INFLUENCE OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE ON THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE ARABS

I T IS AXIOMATIC that the language of any people is influenced by its psychology and culture. Few investigators, however, have ever seriously studied the converse: the influence that language itself exerts on the psychology and culture of the people who use it. The general tendency is to regard language as sufficiently flexible to adapt itself to cultures and intellects rather than so rigid as to stamp its own peculiarities upon them. But any close scrutiny of the relations between language and psychology will show that there is an intimate interdependence between the two. The exact nature and extent of this two way influence must be ascertained separately for each individual case, as they depend on a large number of factors and variables which can at best be only roughly estimated. The following discussion attempts to summarize the outstanding features of one only of this two way interaction: namely, the influence which the Arabic language exerts upon the psychology of the Arabs.
Dedup Est Machina: Memory Deduplication as an Advanced Exploitation Vector
Venue: 2016 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (SP)

Memory deduplication, a well known technique to reduce the memory footprint across virtual machines, is now also a default on feature inside the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 operating systems. Deduplication maps multiple identical copies of a physical page onto a single shared copy with copy on write semantics. As a result, a write to such a shared page triggers a page fault and is thus measurably slower than a write to a normal page. Prior work has shown that an attacker able to craft pages on the target system can use this timing difference as a simple single bit side channel to discover that certain pages exist in the system. In this paper, we demonstrate that the deduplication side channel is much more powerful than previously assumed, potentially providing an attacker with a weird machine to read arbitrary data in the system. We first show that an attacker controlling the alignment and reuse of data in memory is able to perform byte by byte disclosure of sensitive data (such as randomized 64 bit pointers) Next, even without control over data alignment or reuse, we show that an attacker can still disclose high entropy randomized pointers using a birthday attack. To show these primitives are practical, we present an end to end JavaScript based attack against the new Microsoft Edge browser, in absence of software bugs and with all defenses turned on. Our attack combines our deduplication based primitives with a reliable Rowhammer exploit to gain arbitrary memory read and write access in the browser. We conclude by extending our JavaScript based attack to cross process system wide exploitation (using the popular nginx web server as an example) and discussing mitigation strategies.
Validation of Novel Biomarkers for Prostate Cancer Progression by the Combination of Bioinformatics, Clinical and Functional Studies
Venue: PloS one

The identification and validation of biomarkers for clinical applications remains an important issue for improving diagnostics and therapy in many diseases, including prostate cancer. Gene expression profiles are routinely applied to identify diagnostic and predictive biomarkers or novel targets for cancer. However, only few predictive markers identified in silico have also been validated for clinical, functional or mechanistic relevance in disease progression. In this study, we have used a broad, bioinformatics based approach to identify such biomarkers across a spectrum of progression stages, including normal and tumor adjacent, premalignant, primary and late stage lesions. Bioinformatics data mining combined with clinical validation of biomarkers by sensitive, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT PCR) followed by functional evaluation of candidate genes in disease relevant processes, such as cancer cell proliferation, motility and invasion. From 300 initial candidates, eight genes were selected for validation by several layers of data mining and filtering. For clinical validation, differential mRNA expression of selected genes was measured by qRT PCR in 197 clinical prostate tissue samples including normal prostate, compared against histologically benign and cancerous tissues. Based on the qRT PCR results, significantly different mRNA expression was confirmed in normal prostate versus malignant PCa samples (for all eight genes) but also in cancer adjacent tissues, even in the absence of detectable cancer cells, thus pointing to the possibility of pronounced field effects in prostate lesions. For the validation of the functional properties of these genes, and to demonstrate their putative relevance for disease relevant processes, siRNA knock down studies were performed in both 2D and 3D organotypic cell culture models. Silencing of three genes (DLX1, PLA2G7 and RHOU) in the prostate cancer cell lines PC3 and VCaP by siRNA resulted in marked growth arrest and cytotoxicity, particularly in 3D organotypic cell culture conditions. In addition, silencing of PLA2G7, RHOU, ACSM1, LAMB1 and CACNA1D also resulted in reduced tumor cell invasion in PC3 organoid cultures. For PLA2G7 and RHOU, the effects of siRNA silencing on proliferation and cell motility could also be confirmed in 2D monolayer cultures. In conclusion, DLX1 and RHOU showed the strongest potential as useful clinical biomarkers for PCa diagnosis, further validated by their functional roles in PCa progression. These candidates may be useful for more reliable identification of relapses or therapy failures prior to the recurrence local or distant metastases.
Identity Management and Relational Culture in Interfaith Marital Communication in a United States Context: A Qualitative Study

This study explored the identity management processes in interfaith marital communication in a United States setting. Sixteen marital partners participated in this interview study. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, interpreted, and analyzed. Guided by identity management theory, the interview data analysis revealed three general themes: development of the interfaith relational identity via the co creation of a superordinate spiritual and value system; implementation of relational boundaries to prioritize the relational identity; and identification of key milestone decisions (i.e. wedding plans and children socialization coordination) interfaith partners face in their intimate relationships. Contributions, limitations, and directions for future studies on interfaith marital communication are addressed.
Evidence that sea lampreys Petromyzon marinus complete their life cycle within a tributary of the Laurentian Great Lakes by parasitizing fishes in inland lakes

The sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus invaded the upper Laurentian Great Lakes and feeds on valued fish. The Cheboygan River, Michigan, USA, is a large sea lamprey producing tributary to Lake Huron and despite having a renovated dam 2 km from the river mouth that presumably blocks sea lamprey spawning migrations, the watershed upstream of the dam remains infested with larval sea lamprey. A navigational lock near the dam has been hypothesized as the means of escapement of adult sea lampreys from Lake Huron and source of the upper river population (H1) However, an alternative hypothesis (H2) is that some sea lampreys complete their life cycle upstream of the dam, without entering Lake Huron. To evaluate the alternative hypothesis, we gathered angler reports of lamprey wounds on game fishes upstream of the dam, and captured adult sea lampreys downstream and upstream of the dam to contrast abundance, run timing, size, and statolith microchemistry. Results indicate that a small population of adult sea lampreys (n
EFFECTS OF B2O3 ADDITION ON SINTERING BEHAVIOR AND MICROWAVE DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF Mg4Ta2O9 CERAMICS PREPARED BY THE SOL GEL METHOD

Sintering characteristics and microwave dielectric properties of Mg4Ta2O9 5wt% B2O3 ceramics were investigated. With the sintering temperature increasing in the range of 1100C 1350C, the apparent density, er and Qf values increased firstly and then saturated at 1250C with excellent microwave properties: er~12.1, Qf~77,575GHz and tf~ 40ppm/C. Compared to the pure MT ceramics, the B2O3 additives effectively decreased the sintering temperature of MT ceramics and had no detrimental effect on the properties of the MT ceramics due to the liquid phase effect.
Study of structural and conduction properties of Co3O4 doped corundum type Mg4Ta2O9 ceramics

The effects of structural distortion on charge transport, crystal defects and relaxor response are studied for corundum type (Mg1 xCox)4Ta2O9 (x 0 0.5) ceramics. XRD analysis reveals that A site substitution takes place up to x 0.3, whereas further increasing the Co concentration causes a charge imbalance to be created by heterovalent substitution of Co3+ in place of Mg2+ In order to maintain the charge neutrality, B site substitution takes place for x 0.4 and 0.5. This paper has established a relation between polyhedral distortion and the conduction mechanism in ceramics. Impedance measurements were made on the prepared samples over a wide range of temperatures (30 450 degC) and frequencies (100 Hz to 1 MHz) Heterovalent A site substitution and cationic vacancies gradually increase the polyhedral distortion, leading to a decrease in the activation energy for the conduction process. B site substitution reduces the cationic vacancies and strengthens the activation energy. For samples having x 0.1 0.4, the barrier hopping mechanism dominates, whereas for x 0 and 0.5, the polaron conduction mechanism plays the dominant role in the ac conduction process. Moreover, the samples having x 0.1 and 0.2 exhibit an additional quantum tunnelling process at low temperatures due to the inadequacy of the energy for ionic conduction. In complex electric modulus analysis, broad peaks are observed in the M' versus frequency plots, which are ascribable to the existence of several potential minima for central cations within the octahedron.
OpenPTrack: Open source multi camera calibration and people tracking for RGB D camera networks
Venue: Robotics Auton. Syst.

It allows to track people in big volumes at sensor frame rate and currently supports a heterogeneous set of 3D sensors. In this work, we describe its user friendly calibration procedure, which consists of simple steps with real time feedback that allow to obtain accurate results in estimating the camera poses that are then used for tracking people. On top of a calibration based on moving a checkerboard within the tracking space and on a global optimization of cameras and checkerboards poses, a novel procedure which aligns people detections coming from all sensors in a x y t i m e space is used for refining camera poses. While people detection is executed locally, in the machines connected to each sensor, tracking is performed by a single node which takes into account detections from all over the network. Here we detail how a cascade of algorithms working on depth point clouds and color, infrared and disparity images is used to perform people detection from different types of sensors and in any indoor light condition. We present experiments showing that a considerable improvement can be obtained with the proposed calibration refinement procedure that exploits people detections and we compare Kinect v1, Kinect v2 and Mesa SR4500 performance for people tracking applications. OpenPTrack is based on the Robot Operating System and the Point Cloud Library and has already been adopted in networks composed of up to ten imagers for interactive arts, education, culture and human robot interaction applications.
