In this panel, we offer four papers on some of the complex ways in which sound, sensation, affect, and embodiment shape, are shaped by, digital platforms. This approach does not eschew questions power as a key concern, but rather foregoes broad dystopian (or utopian) generalizations, pointing instead to specific instances platformized platform-adjacent cultural production see how manifests cont...

Cet essai développe une analyse critique de la mondialisation basée sur des recherches terrains entreprises dans décennie 2010 à Cuba, plus particulièrement La Havane. L’enseignement les universités anglo-saxonnes au Canada et en Grande-Bretagne années 2000 se caractérisait par peur l’homogénéisation culture, puis l’application...

BACKGROUND It has previously been shown that conditioning activities consisting of repetitive hops have the potential to induce better drop jump (DJ) performance in recreationally active individuals. In the present pilot study, we investigated whether repetitive conditioning hops can also increase reactive jump and sprint performance in sprint-trained elite athletes competing at an internationa...

The organizers of the Memorial Session for Herman Rietschel asked that I review some of the history of the interplay of superconductivity and spin fluctuations. Initially, Berk and Schrieffer showed how paramagnon spin fluctuations could suppress superconductivity in nearly-ferromagnetic materials. Following this, Rietschel and various co-workers wrote a number of papers in which they investiga...

Resistance training alters the proportion of skeletal muscle fibers but not brain neurotrophic factors in young adult rats. J Strength Cond Res 30(12): 3531-3538, 2016-Resistance training (RT) is related to improved muscular strength and power output. Different programs of RT for r...

n engl j med 368;11 nejm.org march 14, 2013 977 about a celebrity patient who had been admitted for pregnancy complications. A nurse, filling in at the reception desk in the early morning hours, answered the phone and, without attempting to verify the callers’ identities, transferred them to the duty nurse caring for the Duchess of Cambridge. The duty nurse then provided them with confidential ...

We present new attacks and robust countermeasures for security-sensitive components, such as single sign-on APIs and client-side cryptographic libraries, that need to be safely deployed on untrusted web pages. We show how failing to isolate such components leaves them vulnerable to attacks both from the hosting website and other components running on the same page. These attacks are not prevent...

Computers are changing the way sound and recorded music are listened to and used. The use of computers to playback music makes it possible to change and adapt music to different usage situations in ways that were not possible with analog sound equipment. In this thesis, interaction with pre-recorded music is investigated using prototypes and user studies. First, different interfaces for browsin...

Japan has an active and diverse Hip Hop scene with widespread popularity among the younger generation. This is reflected in recent figures cited by Manabe (2006, pp. 3-4) who notes that 15% of all singles classified as gold or above in the first half of 2005 were rap-oriented al}d that rap is an integrai•wrt of the Japanese music scene. The history of Hip Hop in Japan has been delineated in a s...

We report the results of numerical calculations of rung-rung current correlations on a 2-leg t-J ladder with J/t = 0.35 for dopings x = 0.125 and x = 0.19. We find that the amplitude of these correlations decays exponentially. We argue that this can be understood within a bosonization framework in terms of the pinned phase variables associated with a C1SO phase with dx2−y2-like power law pairin...
