Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia: A Conversation Among Artemis Christinaki, Amrita Narayanan, and Avgi Saketopoulou
No full textThis transcribed conversation of an online dialogue between Artemis Christinaki, Amrita Narayanan, and Avgi Saketopoulou introduces readers to Saketopoulou’s recently published book, Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia. With astute questions and through a series of probing observations, Christinaki and Narayanan engage the author, opening up crucial dimensions of psychoanalysis, gender and sexuality studies, and politics. The exchange tracks the three main signifiers of the book, risk, race, and traumatophilia, and articulates Saketopoulou’s critical concern with the traumatophobic logics rippling through the field. What emerges is a rich discussion of how Saketopoulou’s three terms work within psychoanalysis and the risks, opportunities, and challenges they unfurl in the clinic and in the broader field of psychosocial and psychoanalytic studies.<br/

A dangerous but powerful idea - counter acceleration and speed with slowness and wholeness
No full textThe dangerous idea is that school reform, in India in particular, but across the world too, is impossible. Changing education, at the systemic level or at the institutional or school level, or educating teachers and school leaders in change can be classified as largely first order change - that of school improvement, which involves doing more of the same but doing it better (where the focus is on efficiency) and that of school re-structuring, which involves re-organising components and responsibilities (where the focus is on effectiveness). Geetha Narayanan is Principal Investigator with Project Vision at the Centre for Education Research Training and Development (CERTAD) within the Srishti School of Art Design and Technology in Bangalore, India. She has dedicated her career to finding and establishing new models of education that are creative, synergistic and original in their approach to learning.

Exploring image recognition: applying convoluted neural networks and learning to recognize safe cyclists
No full text"Today, there is a need to focus on the mobility revolution that is currently taking place. With the advent of more intelligent data gathering, there is also a growing need for using existing technology and infrastructure to achieve this goal, without incorporating expensive, complicated systems. As single-occupancy give way to shared mobility solutions, combined with regular mass transit and pedestrian-aware street infrastructure (traffic lights, crosswalks etc.), there is a large ""networked mobility system'' that has the potential to be tapped. Moreover, autonomous cars will be here soon, to add to the mix.
With statistics showing an increase in bicyclist related crashes over the last decade and an increase in bicycle-borne road users, there is a necessity for cities and autonomous vehicles to build bicycle safety into their adaptation to the ""driverless future"". This paper is an exploration into the use of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based Machine Learning (ML) algorithm to identify bicycle-borne road users, who wear helmets.
We use a pre-made CNN framework-YOLO (You Only Look Once), and built around it further. After a brief proof-of-concept test on a publicly available dataset (including extraction, parsing and detection), the algorithm was modified. Some important features were added, such as identifying license plates, faces and encrypting them. Further, there is also a detailed account of using the ML capabilities that the framework is built with, and training it to identify bicycle-borne road users wearing a helmet."Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Ramakrishnan Narayanan, accepted the attached license on 2017-07-21 at 13:17.The student, Ramakrishnan Narayanan, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-07-21 at 13:34.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-07-21 at 13:47.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11580 on 2018-03-02 at 13:03:11Made available in DSpace on 2018-03-02T20:02:40Z (GMT).

Elaborating the Project Management System
No full textThis chapter elaborates on the perspective of project management as an organizational capability, crucial for strategy execution and hence necessitating the attention of senior management. The author builds on the work on Project Management System (PMS) by Narayanan and DeFillippi, who developed the PMS concept to describe the context created for project managers by the senior management of a firm in response to strategy shifts. This chapter develops this concept further by detailing how PMS influences the conduct of project managers: their competencies, successful resource acquisition practices, ways to access information and knowledge, behavioral challenges, and career opportunities. The chapter also indicates some key practical implications for project managers: the need to be aware of the organizational context, understanding the strategic logic of projects, the need to speak the language of senior management, and mapping information networks. </jats:p
Ambipolar organic field-effect transistor fabricated by co-evaporation of pentacene and N,N '-ditridecylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide
No full textOrganic field-effect transistors were fabricated where the active semiconductor layer consisted of a co-evaporated film of pentacene and a perylene derivative, N,N′-ditridecylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide. The device characteristics were evaluated in an oxygen-free environment. The field-effect transistor showed excellent ambipolar operation with field-effect hole mobility of 0.09 cm2 V-1 s-1 and field-effect electron mobility of 9.3 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1. The threshold voltage for p-channel operation was -18 V and the same for n-channel operation was 15 V. This ambipolar device could be a building block to form flexible integrated circuits with low-power consumption and ease of design
Influence of the polymer dielectric characteristics on the performance of pentacene organic field-effect transistors
No full textOrganic field-effect transistors were fabricated with pentacene as the active material and different polymeric dielectrics such as cyanoethylpullulan, poly(4-vinyl phenol), polymethylmethacrylate, parylene-C and polyimide as the gate material. The performance of the devices is compared with respect to the parameters, field-effect mobility, threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, and the maximum possible value of interface traps
N-channel organic field-effect transistors using N,N '-ditridecylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide and a polymeric dielectric
No full textOrganic field-effect transistors were fabricated using N,N′- ditridecylperylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI-C H) as the active material and a polymeric insulator polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as the gate dielectric. A mobility value of 1.7 × 10 cm V s was estimated from the transistor characteristics. The threshold voltage was 0.2 V and the inverse subthreshold slope was 7.6 V/decade. At low gate and high drain voltages, the device exhibits injection of holes from the Al drain electrode. This was rectified by using LiF as a buffer layer between Al and (PTCDI-C H). Such modified devices exhibited mobility 1.2 × 10 cm V s, threshold voltage -0.3 V, and inverse subthreshold swing of 5 V/decade
Populating the Institutional Repository with Automated Content Harvesting
No full textThis presentation was given by Yrjo Lappalainen and Nikesh Narayanan, Zayed University Library and Learning Commons
This presentation provides an overview of ZU Scholars (https://zuscholars.zu.ac.ae) institutional repository, launched by Zayed University in 2021. Zayed University Library has developed a semi-automatic process to harvest metadata and CC-licensed full text files into the repository from various sources on a weekly basis. The approach has been successful as the Library has already harvested over 5300 metadata records and over 1000 CC-licensed full text files into the repository, resulting into over 40000 downloads. Future plans include generating custom reports from the repository data, pushing content into ORCID and establishing another semi-automatic process for requesting accepted author manuscripts </p
