Abstract:
Looking at John Duncan's 1980 art performance, BLIND DATE, and its morally controversial content, I propose to investigate the nature of art's relationship to morality. My research consists of determining whether "immorality" represents an obstacle to the ontological identity of art and to artistic value. To question the authority of ethical criticism in art, I review a contemporary philosophical debate, which opposes two main schools, one in support of the validity of ethical criticism in art and the other against it. Following up on the second position, I elaborate a definition of art and a system of evaluation that aims to determine artistic value, both of which allow space for the potential artistic legitimacy of immoral art.

Abstract:
This thesis analyses a case study on territorial transformations induced by the private lease of a natural reserve situated in the Senegal River Delta Region. It aims to question mainstream discourses about large-scale land acquisitions that portray stakeholders as homogeneous entities, i.e. the “state”, the “company”, the “local community”, bestowing them with static features and prearranged power relations. Against these arguments, the theoretical proposal is to look at the land acquisition through the relational approach to territory and territoriality of Claude Raffestins’, by integrating it with the Sandra Evers’ analytical tool of Zones of Intermediality. ‘zones of intermediality’ has been used as analytical tool to grasp stakeholders’ discourses and positionalities that slip away by macro narratives. Therefore, this study analyses variations in stakeholders’ positioning, their interconnections and the divergent responses of groups of farmer, pastoralist and agro-pastoralist to a new top-down project of territory. Moreover, it aims to show how grounded analysis on large-scale land acquisitions can disentangle the simplistic discourses of “global threats to vulnerable local territories”, by pointing out the distinctiveness of places in attracting and/or mediating transnational dynamics of resource accumulation. I argue that by analysing power-embedded mediation patterns and discursive practices, the Zones of Intermediality could enhance the capacity of Raffestin’s territoriality approach in capturing territorial ideas and practices of everyday life.<br>Questa tesi tratta uno studio di caso sulle trasformazioni territoriali indotte dalla concessione ad un privato di parte di una riserva naturale nel Delta del fiume Senegal. Lo studio desidera mettere in questione il discorso dominante sulle acquisizioni di terra su larga scala che rappresenta gli attori come unità omogenee. Così facendo “lo stato”, “la compagnia” e la “comunità locale” ad esempio vengono resi soggetti statici e caratterizzati da rapporti di potere predeterminati. In contrapposizione a questi argomenti, la proposta teorica alla base di questo lavoro è di guardare alle acquisizioni di terra su larga scala attraverso l’approccio relazionale al territorio e alla territorialità di Claude Raffestin, integrandolo con lo strumento analitico delle Zones of Intermediality di Sandra Evers. Zones of Intermediality viene qui usato per analizzare i repertori discorsivi e le razionalità territoriali che possono sfuggire da grandi narrazioni. Quindi questo studio analizza le variazioni nel posizionamento degli attori, le loro interconnessioni e le risposte divergenti di gruppi di contadini, pastori ed agro-pastori ad un progetto di territorio imposto dall’alto. Inoltre la tesi vuole dimostrare come lo studio delle acquisizioni di terra su larga scala a livello micro permetta di decostruire le narrazioni semplicistiche che parlano di “minacce globali a territori locali” mettendo in luce il valore delle complessità locali nell’attrarre o mediare le dinamiche transnazionali di accumulazione delle risorse. Sostengo che Zones of Intermediality, analizzando le dinamiche di mediazione intrinseche al potere e le pratiche discorsive, possa ampliare la capacità del modello di Raffestin nel cogliere le idee e le pratiche territoriali della quotidianità.

Abstract:
L’elaborato si pone l’obiettivo di analizzare i dating show, trasmissioni del genere reality realizzate ai fini di trovare l’amore, per lo più per persone sconosciute (nip). Ci si chiede come sia possibile che il tema della ricerca dell’anima gemella in tv generi continuamente titoli con buoni ascolti che declinano in molteplici forme il tentativo di un uomo o una donna di trovare la propria metà. Il dating show è uno dei filoni più longevi e di successo dell’intrattenimento televisivo internazionale grazie alla sua capacità di adattarsi al suo target privilegiato (quello dei giovani adulti 16-34enni). Il lavoro analizzerà le nuove frontiere degli show d’appuntamenti che per ottenere ascolti floridi, sia nei palinsesti delle reti generaliste che delle pay, devono proporre formule inedite spesso ibridandosi con altri generi televisivi (il game su tutti); modificando formato e struttura per farsi specchio dei tempi e cavalcare le trasformazioni socioculturali. Lo studio comprende, altresì, l'importanza di considerare la televisione come più di una semplice fonte di intrattenimento, ma piuttosto, come un mezzo contenente messaggi ideologici che possono esercitare un'influenza sul pubblico e sulle sue interpretazioni del mondo che lo circonda. La tesi partirà dalle caratteristiche comuni del genere, studiandone la storia dalle origini a oggi, negli USA e in Italia e concentrerà l'analisi su tre casi studio contemporanei: Undressed, Matrimonio a prima vista Italia e Primo appuntamento con lo spin-off Primo appuntamento crociera.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 125-126).<br>A method for blind separation of noisy jointly Gaussian multivariate signals X is presented, where X = AP + N, X is an observed set of vectors, A is the mixing matrix, P is the unknown signal matrix, and N is white noise. The objective is to estimate all matrices on the right-hand side when even their dimensions (the system order) are unknown. The algorithms developed are extensions of the Iterative Order and Noise (ION) estimation algorithm [10]. Improvements made within the iterative structure of ION to better estimate the order and noise yield ION'. The addition of a second-order blind identification algorithm (SOBI, [4]) subsequently yields ONA, which fully characterizes a data set by estimating the (O)rder, (N)oise, and mixing matrix (A). Metrics are developed to evaluate the performance of these algorithms, and their applicability is discussed. Optimum algorithm constants for ION' and ONA are derived, and their range of applicability is outlined. The algorithms are evaluated through application to three types of data: (1) simulated Gaussian data which spans the problem space, (2) a set of non-Gaussian factory data with 577 variables, and (3) a hyperspectral image with 224 channels. The ONA algorithm is extended to 2D (spatial) hyperspectral problems by exploiting spatial rather than time correlation. ONA produces a full characterization of the data with high signal-to-noise ratios for most unknown parameters in the Gaussian case, though the jointly Gaussian P is shown to be most difficult to retrieve. In all three cases, ONA reduces the noise in the data, identifies small sets of highly correlated variables, and unmixes latent signals. The spatial ONA identifies surface features in the hyperspectral image and retrieves sources<br>(cont.) significantly more independent than those retrieved by PCA. Further exploration of the applicability of these algorithms to other types of data and further algorithmic improvement is recommended.<br>by Amy Mueller.<br>M.Eng.

Abstract:
Blind Source Separation (BSS) methods have been attracting increasing attention for their promising applications in signal processing. Despite recent progress on the research of BSS, there are still remaining challenges. Specifically, this dissertation focuses on developing novel Underdetermined Blind Source Separation (UBSS) methods that can deal with several specific challenges in real applications, including limited number of observations, self/cross dependence information and source inference in the underdetermined case. First, by taking advantage of the Noise Assisted Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (NAMEMD) and Multiset Canonical Correlation Analysis (MCCA), we propose a novel BSS framework and apply it to extract the heart beat signal form noisy nano-sensor signals. Furthermore, we generalize the idea of (over)determined joint BSS to that of the underdetermined case. We explore the dependence information between two datasets and propose an underdetermined joint BSS method for two datasets, termed as UJBSS-2. In addition, by exploiting the cross correlation between each pair of datasets, we develop a novel and effective method to jointly estimate the mixing matrices from multiple datasets, referred to as Underdetermined Joint Blind Source Separation for Multiple Datasets (UJBSS-M). In order to improve the time efficiency and relax the sparsity constraint, we recover the latent sources based on subspace representation when the mixing matrices are estimated. As an example application for noise enhanced signal processing, the proposed UJBSS-M method also can be utilized to solve the single-set UBSS problem when suitable noise is added to the observations. Finally, considering the recent increasing need for biomedical signal processing in the ambulatory environment, we propose a novel UBSS method for removing electromyogram (EMG) from Electroencephalography (EEG) signals. The proposed method for recovering the underlying sources is also applicable to other artifact removal problems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods yield superior performances over conventional approaches. We also evaluate the proposed methods on real physiological data, and the proposed methods are shown to effectively and efficiently recover the underlying sources.<br>Applied Science, Faculty of<br>Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of<br>Graduate

Abstract:
Le thème principal de cette thèse est l'analyse de données du fond diffus cosmologique (CMB). En particulier, je présente une méthode, Bayesian Independent Analysis (BICA), qui effectue à la fois la séparation des composants et l'inférence du spectre de puissance du CMB. Je commence par présenter les principes de base du CMB et souligne la nécessité d'une modélisation robuste des erreurs au niveau de la carte. Puis je présente la principale source d'erreurs dans les produits du CMB, à savoir les avant-plans. La séparation des composants est une étape cruciale dans l'analyse de données de CMB. Je passe en revue plusieurs méthodes visant à nettoyer le CMB des avant-plans. Puis je présente BICA. La méthode est formulée dans le cadre bayésien aveugle. Il en résulte une inférence jointe de la carte de CMB et de son spectre de puissance. Ainsi, les erreurs sur la reconstruction comprennent les incertitudes dues à la présence d'avant-plans dans les données. En considérant des choix particuliers de prior et d'échantillonnage, je montre comment la formulation bayésienne de séparation des composantes fournit un cadre unificateur dont les méthodes précédentes sont des cas particuliers. Je présente les résultats de BICA lorsqu'elle est appliquée sur des données simulées et les données Planck. Cette méthode est capable de reconstruire la carte du CMB et son spectre sur une large fraction du ciel. Les principales contributions de cette thèse sont : 1) un spectre de puissance du CMB dont les erreurs prennent en compte la présence d'avant-plans mais sans modèle physique, 2) une carte CMB avec un modèle d'erreur incluant à la fois le bruit et avant-plans<br>The main topic of this thesis is the analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. In particular, I present a method, Bayesian Independent component analysis (BICA), that performs both CMB component separation and CMB power spectrum inference.I begin by presenting the basics of our understanding of the CMB emission and highlight the need for a robust error modelling at the map level. Then I present the main source of errors in the CMB products, namely the foregrounds.Component separation is a crucial and delicate step in CMB data analysis. I review several methods aiming at cleaning the CMB from foregroundsThen I present BICA. The method is formulated in a blind Bayesian framework. The posterior distribution provides an inference of the CMB map and power spectrum from the observation maps. Thus, the errors on the reconstruction include the uncertainties due the presence of foregrounds in the data. By considering particular choices of prior and sampling scheme, I show how the Bayesian formulation of component separation provide a unifying framework of which previous methods are special cases.I present the results of BICA when applied on both simulated data and 2013 Planck data. This method is able to reconstruct the CMB map and power spectrum on a large fraction of the sky. The main contributions of this thesis is to provide: 1) a CMB power spectrum on a large multipole range whose errors take the presence of foregrounds into account but without assuming physical models, 2) a CMB map inference together with an error model including both noise and foregrounds residuals

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 81-83).<br>A second-order method for blind source separation of noisy instantaneous linear mixtures is presented and analyzed for the case where the signal order k and noise covariance GG-H are unknown. Only a data set X of dimension n > k and of sample size m is observed, where X = AP + GW. The quality of separation depends on source-observation ratio k/n, the degree of spectral diversity, and the second-order non-stationarity of the underlying sources. The algorithm estimates the Second-Order separation transform A, the signal Order, and Noise, and is therefore referred to as SOON. SOON iteratively estimates: 1) k using a scree metric, and 2) the values of AP, G, and W using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, where W is white noise and G is diagonal. The final step estimates A and the set of k underlying sources P using a variant of the joint diagonalization method, where P has k independent unit-variance elements. Tests using simulated Auto Regressive (AR) gaussian data show that SOON improves the quality of source separation in comparison to the standard second-order separation algorithms, i.e., Second-Order Blind Identification (SOBI) [3] and Second-Order Non-Stationary (SONS) blind identification [4]. The sensitivity in performance of SONS and SOON to several algorithmic parameters is also displayed in these experiments. To reduce sensitivities in the pre-whitening step of these algorithms, a heuristic is proposed by this thesis for whitening the data set; it is shown to improve separation performance. Additionally the application of blind source separation techniques to remote sensing data is discussed.<br>(cont.) Analysis of remote sensing data collected by the AVIRIS multichannel visible/infrared imaging instrument shows that SOON reveals physically significant dynamics within the data not found by the traditional methods of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Noise Adjusted Principal Component Analysis (NAPCA).<br>by Keith Herring.<br>S.M.

Abstract:
In an exploratory approach to data analysis, it is often useful to consider the observations as generated from a set of latent generators or 'sources' via a generally unknown mapping. Reconstructing sources from their mixtures is an extremely ill-posed problem in general. However, solutions to such inverse problems can, in many cases, be achieved by incorporating prior knowledge about the problem, captured in the form of constraints. This setting is a natural candidate for the application of the Bayesian method- ology, allowing us to incorporate "soft" constraints in a natural manner. This Thesis proposes the use of sparse statistical decomposition methods for ex- ploratory analysis of datasets. We make use of the fact that many natural signals have a sparse representation in appropriate signal dictionaries. The work described in this Thesis is mainly driven by problems in the analysis of large datasets, such as those from functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain for the neuro-scientific goal of extracting relevant 'maps' from the data. We first propose Bayesian Iterative Thresholding, a general method for solv- ing blind linear inverse problems under sparsity constraints, and we apply it to the problem of blind source separation. The algorithm is derived by maximiz- ing a variational lower-bound on the likelihood. The algorithm generalizes the recently proposed method of Iterative Thresholding. The probabilistic view en- ables us to automatically estimate various hyperparameters, such as those that control the shape of the prior and the threshold, in a principled manner. We then derive an efficient fully Bayesian sparse matrix factorization model for exploratory analysis and modelling of spatio-temporal data such as fMRI. We view sparse representation as a problem in Bayesian inference, following a ma- chine learning approach, and construct a structured generative latent-variable model employing adaptive sparsity-inducing priors. The construction allows for automatic complexity control and regularization as well as denoising. The performance and utility of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated on a variety of experiments using both simulated and real datasets. Experimental results with benchmark datasets show that the proposed algorithms outper- form state-of-the-art tools for model-free decompositions such as independent component analysis.

Abstract:
AbstractILSAs show that student performance in Spain is lower than the OECD average and has shown no progress from 2000 until 2011/2012. One of the main features is the low proportion of top performers. During this long period of stagnation, the education system was characterized by having no national (or standardized regional) evaluations and no flexibility to adapt to the different needs of the student population. The fact that the system was blind and rigid, plus the lack of common standards at the national level, gave rise to three major deficiencies: a high rate of grade repetition, which led to high rates of early school leaving, and large differences between regions. These features of the Spanish education system represent major inequities. However, PISA findings were used to reinforce the misguided view that the Spanish education system prioritized equity over excellence. After the implementation of an education reform, some improvements in student performance took place in 2015 and 2016. Unfortunately, the results for PISA 2018 in reading were withdrawn for Spain, apparently due to changes in methodology which led to unreliable results. To this date, no explanation has been provided raising concerns about the reliability and accountability of PISA.

Abstract:
The “Accessible Oceans” pilot project aims to inclusively design auditory displays that support perception and understanding of ocean data in informal learning environments (ILEs). The project’s multi-disciplinary team includes expertise from all related fields — ocean scientists, dataset experts, a sound designer with specialization in data sonification, and a learning sciences researcher. In addition, the PI is blind and provides a crucial perspective in our research. We describe the sound design of informative sonifications and respective auditory displays based on iterative design with user input at each stage, including from blind and low-vision (BLV) students, their teachers, and subject-matter experts. We discuss the importance of framing data sonifications through an auditory presentation of contextual information. We also report on our latest auditory display evaluation using Auditory Interface UX Scale (BUZZ) surveys at three ILE test sites. These responses further affirm our auditory display design developments. We include access to the auditory displays media and lessons learned over the course of this multi-year NSF-funded Advancing Informal Stem Learning (AISL) grant https://accessibleoceans.whoi.edu/

Full text
Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine the presence of jetting downstream of a perforated plate flow conditioner in an 8 inch pipe flowing high pressure natural gas. Data presented indicates no measurable jetting is present 10 pipe diameters (10D) downstream of the perforated plate tested from 110 FPS to 10 FPS. Slight velocity profile anomalies were detected 3D downstream of the perforated plate, and severe jetting was detected at 0.9D. Additionally, a double-blind CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) model was created for the three different test configurations. The CFD modeling results showed good agreement with experimental data.

Full text
Abstract:
Considering the importance of the transportation network and bridge structures, the associated seismic design philosophy is shifting from the basic collapse prevention objective to maintaining functionality on the community scale in the aftermath of moderate to strong earthquakes (i.e., resiliency). In addition to performance, the associated construction philosophy is also being modernized, with the utilization of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques to reduce impacts of construction work on traffic, society, economy, and on-site safety during construction. Recent years have seen several developments towards the design of low-damage bridges and ABC. According to the results of conducted tests, these systems have significant potential to achieve the intended community resiliency objectives. Taking advantage of such potential in the standard design and analysis processes requires proper modeling that adequately characterizes the behavior and response of these bridge systems. To evaluate the current practices and abilities of the structural engineering community to model this type of resiliency-oriented bridges, the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) organized a blind prediction contest of a two-column bridge bent consisting of columns with enhanced response characteristics achieved by a well-balanced contribution of self-centering, rocking, and energy dissipation. The parameters of this blind prediction competition are described in this report, and the predictions submitted by different teams are analyzed. In general, forces are predicted better than displacements. The post-tension bar forces and residual displacements are predicted with the best and least accuracy, respectively. Some of the predicted quantities are observed to have coefficient of variation (COV) values larger than 50%; however, in general, the scatter in the predictions amongst different teams is not significantly large. Applied ground motions (GM) in shaking table tests consisted of a series of naturally recorded earthquake acceleration signals, where GM1 is found to be the largest contributor to the displacement error for most of the teams, and GM7 is the largest contributor to the force (hence, the acceleration) error. The large contribution of GM1 to the displacement error is due to the elastic response in GM1 and the errors stemming from the incorrect estimation of the period and damping ratio. The contribution of GM7 to the force error is due to the errors in the estimation of the base-shear capacity. Several teams were able to predict forces and accelerations with only moderate bias. Displacements, however, were systematically underestimated by almost every team. This suggests that there is a general problem either in the assumptions made or the models used to simulate the response of this type of bridge bent with enhanced response characteristics. Predictions of the best-performing teams were consistently and substantially better than average in all response quantities. The engineering community would benefit from learning details of the approach of the best teams and the factors that caused the models of other teams to fail to produce similarly good results. Blind prediction contests provide: (1) very useful information regarding areas where current numerical models might be improved; and (2) quantitative data regarding the uncertainty of analytical models for use in performance-based earthquake engineering evaluations. Such blind prediction contests should be encouraged for other experimental research activities and are planned to be conducted annually by PEER.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of the SPIM-1-2 project was to identify and evaluate the most promising technologies for detecting and sizing fatigue cracks on heavy wall pipelines and risers, preferably without liquid coupling. To complete this evaluation, six full-scale heavy wall pipe samples were fabricated, and a range of fatigue cracks generated in circumferential welds using resonant fatigue. These samples were used in blind test trials on several available inspection technologies in a pull-through testbed. The technologies were evaluated on their ability to detect and size the fatigue cracks generated from resonant fatigue. At the conclusion of the SPIM-1-2 project, the fatigue cracks in the heavy-wall circumferential welds were available to PRCI members to continue testing and development of inspection technologies. At the conclusion of the SPIM-1-2 project, the actual fatigue crack locations and sizes were not included in the final reports to protect the blind nature of the six pipes samples. A follow-up effort under NDE-2-2 was conducted to gather metallurgical truth for several of the fatigue cracks and generate a comprehensive report that evaluated the inspection technology results from SPIM-1-2 against this truth data.
