Zak-OTFS Implementation via Time and Frequency Windowing
No full textThis paper presents an efficient practical Zak-OTFS modulation implementation using time and frequency windowing methods. We present two general classes of twisted convolution (TC) filters (Type- 1 and Type-2), and show that they can be realized by time and frequency windowing functions. We then propose practical methods to generate time domain Zak-OTFS signals, for actual transmission, using the windowing functions. For Type-1, the signals are generated using an interpolation filter. For Type-2, they are generated using a form of precoded OFDM. We show that this allows a wide variety of pulse shapes to be implemented in practice for Zak-OTFS modulation. This was not previously possible. We also show that the Type-2 signals are more spectrally efficient than their Type-1 counterparts.</p
Zak Keyes Working With…
No full textTo accompany his exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig, this book presents the work of the Swiss-American graphic designer Zak Kyes. In collaboration with the curator, Barbara Steiner, the exhibition and publication bring together a range of works by Kyes, as well as works by a host of collaborators that includes architects, artists, writers, curators, editors, and graphic designers, presenting contemporary graphic design as a practice that mediates, and is mediated by, its allied disciplines.
Kyes, who lives and works in London, is known for his critical approach to graphic design, which encompasses publishing, editing, and site-specific projects for and in collaboration with cultural institutions. In 2005, Kyes founded the design studio Zak Group, and, in 2006, he became Art Director of the Architectural Association (AA), London. Under the auspices of the AA, he organized the seminal touring exhibition “Forms of Inquiry: The Architecture of Critical Graphic Design,” and later cofounded Bedford Press, an imprint that seeks to develop new models for contemporary publishing. By broadening the highly specialized role of the designer, Kyes challenges and further develops today’s graphic design practice.
While this work constitutes the exhibition’s point of departure, its focus is on the conceptual, visual, and economic intersections that link Kyes with his collaborators, revealing and further unfolding the designer’s multivalent practice. These intersections vary in form from idealistic to pragmatic, urgent and time-sensitive to abiding and long-lasting. Rather than presenting a chronological overview of Kyes’s work, the book highlights the designer’s relations with partners, clients, and institutions, and the creative potential of these collaborations to evolve traditional understandings of graphic design, art, and architecture

A tutorial on open-source large language models for behavioral science
No full textLarge language models (LLMs) have the potential to revolutionize behavioral science by accelerating and improving the research cycle, from conceptualization to data analysis. Unlike closed-source solutions, open-source frameworks for LLMs can enable transparency, reproducibility, and adherence to data protection standards, which gives them a crucial advantage for use in behavioral science. To help researchers harness the promise of LLMs, this tutorial offers a primer on the open-source Hugging Face ecosystem and demonstrates several applications that advance conceptual and empirical work in behavioral science, including feature extraction, fine-tuning of models for prediction, and generation of behavioral responses. Executable code is made available at github.com/Zak-Hussain/LLM4BeSci.git. Finally, the tutorial discusses challenges faced by research with (open-source) LLMs related to interpretability and safety and offers a perspective on future research at the intersection of language modeling and behavioral science
Enhancing student leaders' emotional intelligence through multi-dimensional executive coaching: a pragmatic case study approach
No full textThe first goal of the present study was to examine the use of executive coaching as a
method to enhance a student leader’s emotional intelligence competencies. The second
goal of the present study was to investigate whether a student leader’s emotional
intelligence competencies increased after the leader received coaching. The pragmatic
case study approach (Fishman, 1999) and the multi-dimensional executive coaching
process (Orenstein, 2007) were adapted for use with three participants at a large, eastcoast
university. There was mixed support for the first goal of the present study; the
degree to which the executive coaching methodology could be adapted to potentially
enhance a student leader’s emotional intelligence competencies varied among the three
cases. There was also mixed support for the second goal of the present study. Although
there was some evidence that the student leaders changed in positive ways as a result of the coaching, the evaluation design made it impossible to assess the extent to which emotional intelligence competencies changed. Based on experience with the three cases,
certain factors were identified that appear necessary in order to create success for the type
of executive coaching described in this study for benefiting university groups. These
"critical success factors" include: (1) the participant’s openness and commitment to the
coaching process; (2) a clearly designated supervising manager who is involved and
supportive of the entire coaching process; (3) the use of an empirically based 360-degree
assessment tool; (4) the consultant’s knowledge and training in organizational and
clinical psychology, encompassing individual, group, and systems levels of functioning;
(5) the consultant being self-aware and able to engage in the clinical "use of self" (Alderfer, 1985); and (6) the employment of an empirically based evaluation measure.Psy.DIncludes bibliographical referencesby Veronica B. Zak-Abrante
