Recent advances on information transmission and storage assisted by noise

The interplay between nonlinear dynamic systems and noise has proved to be of great relevance in several application areas. In this presentation, we focus on the areas of information transmission and storage. We review some recent results on information transmission through nonlinear channels assisted by noise. We also present recent proposals of memory devices in which noise plays an essential role. Finally, we discuss new results on the influence of noise in memristors.Comment: To be published in "Theory and Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics: Model and Design of Complex Systems", Proceedings of ICAND 2012 (Springer, 2014

Authentic Blackness and the Portrayals of African Americans in Prime Time Television Commercials

Though each African American person holds unique experiences, beliefs and preferences that are molded by his or her background, education, gender, sexual orientation and religion, he or she is often defined by superficial characteristics, such as how a person behaves, speaks and dresses, that determine his or her degree of authentic blackness. This thesis explores authentic blackness within the African American community and how television commercials help define what is considered authentically black. Based on the Social Cognitive Theory, Hall’s Theory of Encoding and Decoding, the Cultivation Theory and the Social Construction of Reality Theory, this thesis explores how African Americans are used in television commercials and African Americans perceive authentic blackness. The first part of the study , content analysis of television commercials during primetime slots, found that stereotypical portrayals of African Americans still exists and that blackness is often used to validate the coolness of a brand or product. The second part of the study, a survey about what is considered authentically black and interviews with eleven African Americans, revealed that most respondents believe that acting black is comprised of superficial characteristics that change over time

Cryogenic and room temperature strength of sapphire jointed by hydroxide-catalysis bonding

Hydroxide-catalysis bonding is a precision technique used for jointing components in opto-mechanical systems and has been implemented in the construction of quasi-monolithic silica suspensions in gravitational wave detectors. Future detectors are likely to operate at cryogenic temperatures which will lead to a change in test mass and suspension material. One candidate material is mono-crystalline sapphire. Here results are presented showing the influence of various bonding solutions on the strength of the hydroxide-catalysis bonds formed between sapphire samples, measured both at room temperature and at 77 K, and it is demonstrated that sodium silicate solution is the most promising in terms of strength, producing bonds with a mean strength of 63 MPa. In addition the results show that the strengths of bonds were undiminished when tested at cryogenic temperatures

Being True to \u3ci\u3eTrulia\u3c/i\u3e: Do Disclosure-Only Settlements in Merger Objection Lawsuits Harm Shareholders?

A significant debate within mergers and acquisitions law concerns the explosive popularity of the “merger objection lawsuit” (MOL), a shareholder action seeking to enjoin an announced deal on fiduciary duty grounds. MOLs blossomed during the Financial Crisis, becoming popularly associated with “shareholder shakedowns,” whereby quick-triggered plaintiff attorneys would file against – and then rapidly settle with – acquirers, typically on non-monetary terms containing modest added disclosures in exchange for blanket class releases and attorney fee awards. This practice unleashed a torrent of criticism from lawyers, commentators, academics, and (ultimately) judges, culminating in a doctrinal shift in Delaware law in the January 2016 Trulia opinion, which virtually prohibited disclosure-only settlements. This paper investigates the implications of this doctrinal shock from a shareholder welfare perspective. We argue that – notwithstanding the intuitive appeal of prohibiting / discouraging disclosure settlements – it is far from clear whether doing so helps or hurts target shareholders ex ante, since the threat of MOLs interacts with other intra-corporate agency costs (such as those of managers and buyers negotiating deals). Reducing the credibility of a litigation threat may deter shakedowns at the cost of reduced deal premia and shareholder value – consequences inconsistent with conventional commitments of corporate law. We develop a theoretical model of company acquisitions formally demonstrating that the competing equilibrium effects of Trulia are indeterminate, an insight that hoists a flag of caution regarding the doctrinal innovation. Moreover, our model delivers testable implications related to Trulia, which we investigate empirically. Our empirical analysis suggests that the recent doctrinal shock does not appear to have resulted in a discernible increase to target shareholder welfare

Noise-Aided Logic in an Electronic Analog of Synthetic Genetic Networks

We report the experimental verification of noise-enhanced logic behaviour in an electronic analog of a synthetic genetic network, composed of two repressors and two constitutive promoters. We observe good agreement between circuit measurements and numerical prediction, with the circuit allowing for robust logic operations in an optimal window of noise. Namely, the input-output characteristics of a logic gate is reproduced faithfully under moderate noise, which is a manifestation of the phenomenon known as Logical Stochastic Resonance. The two dynamical variables in the system yield complementary logic behaviour simultaneously. The system is easily morphed from AND/NAND to OR/NOR logi

Astrophysically Triggered Searches for Gravitational Waves: Status and Prospects

In gravitational-wave detection, special emphasis is put onto searches that focus on cosmic events detected by other types of astrophysical observatories. The astrophysical triggers, e.g. from gamma-ray and X-ray satellites, optical telescopes and neutrino observatories, provide a trigger time for analyzing gravitational wave data coincident with the event. In certain cases the expected frequency range, source energetics, directional and progenitor information is also available. Beyond allowing the recognition of gravitational waveforms with amplitudes closer to the noise floor of the detector, these triggered searches should also lead to rich science results even before the onset of Advanced LIGO. In this paper we provide a broad review of LIGO's astrophysically triggered searches and the sources they target

Recuperando voces

Este paper forma parte de los resultados preliminares del trabajo de investigación llevado a cabo en la Universidad Nacional de Quilmes bajo el título de “Violencia Delictiva y Derechos Humanos; habla el interno carcelario bonaerense”, dirigido por el Lic. Brardinelli y la Dra. Rita Segato. Cuando las investigaciones que se realizan desde las ciencias sociales toman como objeto de estudio el Sistema Penal, y dentro de él a la cárcel, suelen limitarse a abordajes cuantitativos o a análisis limitados, que intentan reflejar los incrementos o la estabilidad de la población encarcelada. En numerosas ocasiones estos estudios, con abordajes cuantitativos, se convierten en insumos (principalmente en los gobiernos de tinte neoliberal) que permiten la discusión sobre políticas penitenciarias, desde los diferentes poderes del Estado y desde la misma opinión pública, pero, en general, estas discusiones han girado alrededor de los temas de la creación de nuevos penales o de la pertinencia de uno u otro modelo de construcción carcelaria y no de la realidad del ser encarcelado. Estos “debates” suavizan la complejidad del tema carcelario y omiten el hecho de la vulneración de derechos que padecen los internos por una parte y de la construcción de nuevas identidades(la identidad tumbera) de las personas privadas de libertad Nuestro intento parte de darle una mirada diferente, buscando vías de acceso alternativo a los conocimientos internos de la cárcel. Mediante este trabajo lo que tratamos es de convocar a los internos a hacer su propio relato, de desarrollar su capacidad de verter estos saberes (los propios, los percibidos) en el lenguaje y abrirles un pasaje en el proceso de comunicación, como un factor liberador, pues le permite simbolizar sus tensiones psíquicas, emocionales y sociales y de apaciguamiento.Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

The development of an operational system for estimating irrigation water use reveals socio-political dynamics in Ukraine

Irrigation is the main driver of crop production in many agricultural regions across the world. The estimation of irrigation water has the potential to enhance our comprehension of the Earth system, thus providing crucial data for food production. In this study, we have created a unique operational system for estimating irrigation water using data from satellite soil moisture, reanalysis precipitation, and potential evaporation. As a proof of concept, we implemented the method at a high resolution (1 km) during the period of 2015–2023 over the area south of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine, which collapsed on 6 June 2023. The selected study area enabled us to showcase that our operational system is able to track the effect of the pandemic and conflict on the irrigation water supply. Significant decreases of 63 % and 44 % in irrigation water compared to the mean irrigation water between 2015 and 2023 have been identified as being linked to the collapse of the dam and, potentially, to the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively.</p
