Does Writing Have a Future?
No full textProfessor David J. Gunkel is the Chair of the Department of Communication at Northern Illinois University – but that is his latest achievement in an extensive list of accomplishments. He is an award-winning educator, researcher, and the author of more than ninety scholarly articles and thirteen books. And it is his latest book, AI for Communication, and his latest thinking about what we have called artificial intelligence and writing that brought him to our 82nd annual conference.
In his keynote address on Saturday, October 9th, 2024, Dr. Gunkel argues that AI does not signal the “end of writing” as much as it suggests the twilight of a conception of writing that has been traditionally theorized as “logocentrism,” (a concept introduced by Jacques Derrida) that suggests that we in the West prioritize speech over writing, and that privilege is now questioned by “large language models” and generative AI. So, for Professor Gunkel, writing has a future but to enter that future, we have to, in his words, reconceptualize how we think about writing and write about thinking.”

Nutrient load concept-reservoir vs. bay impacts: A case study from a semi-arid watershed
No full textLarge flow-through reservoirs and lakes possess environmental gradients and monitoring programs are mostly adapted for cost and time effectiveness. Bay areas are often more isolated from the main water body and are likely to have unobserved different environmental processes and impacts. This study was performed at the Itaparica Reservoir, São Francisco River, located in semi-arid Northeast Brazil, with dendritic form. Water residence time in the Icó-Mandantes Bay was estimated by hydrodynamic flow and transport simulations. The P-chlorophyll a relationship was used to develop the P use efficiency coefficient for critical P load estimation of 25 μg P L-1. Phosphorus sources and input rates into a bay and the respective reservoir were calculated and compared regarding their different origins for the period after flooding (1988) and for 2013. After impoundment, the P load highly exceeded the carrying capacity because of leaching and mineralization processes. In 2013, P inputs were still above this threshold, whereas inflow and sub-basin P export during the rainy season were crucial. But eutrophication processes have increased in the bay relative to the main water body. Hence, water in hydraulic isolated parts is prone to eutrophication processes, thus, bays have to be specially considered in water resource management
Charge-transfer in B-site-depleted NdGaO 3 /SrTiO 3 heterostructures
No full textCation stoichiometry has been identified as a major key in establishing 2-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in oxide heterostructures. Here, we discuss a 2DEG formation scenario in B-site deficient perovskite/perovskite heterostructures, which previously were predicted to show insulating behavior. We elaborate an ionic picture based on oxygen-vacancy-buffered B-site vacancy defects in the polar oxide layer that yields a continuous transition from 2DEG formation to less conducting interfaces to insulating interfaces with increasing B-site deficiency. Experimentally, a corresponding modulation of charge transfer across NdGaO3/SrTiO3 interfaces is inferred using hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and transport experiments. With increasing B-site deficiency, we observe a decrease of the interfacial Ti3+ core level contribution, indicating a reduced charge transfer at the interface. This result is corroborated by temperature-dependent transport measurements, revealing increased low temperature resistance, with a dominant influence of a reduced electron density in the Ga-depleted sample. We consider a redistribution of oxygen vacancies in the B-site deficient polar oxide layer to explain the alleviated interface reconstruction, adding a new perspective on potential built-up in polar-oxide thin films

Three-dimensional modeling of wind- and temperature-induced flows in the Icó-Mandantes Bay, Itaparica Reservoir, NE Brazil
No full textThe Icó-Mandantes Bay is one of the major branches of the Itaparica Reservoir (Sub-Middle São Francisco River, Northeast Brazil) and is the focus of this study. Besides the harmful algae blooms (HAB) and a severe prolonged drought, the bay has a strategic importance-e.g., the eastern channel of the newly built water diversion will withdraw water from it (drinking water). This article presents the implementation of a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model-pioneering for the region-using TELEMAC-3D. The aim was to investigate the 3D flows induced by moderate or extreme winds as well as by heating of the water surface. The findings showed that a windstorm increased the flow velocities (at least one order of magnitude, i.e., up to 10-1-10-2 m/s) without altering significantly the circulation patterns; this occurred substantially for the heating scenario, which had, in contrast, a lower effect on velocities. In terms of the bay's management, the main implications are: (1) the withdrawals for drinking water and irrigation agriculture should stop working during windstorms and at least three days afterwards; (2) a heating of the water surface would likely increase the risk of development of HAB in the shallow areas, so that further assessments with a water quality module are needed to support advanced remediation measures; (3) the 3D model proves to be a necessary tool to identify high risk contamination areas e.g., for installation of new aquaculture systems
The Status of Robots in Moral and Legal Systems Review of David J. Gunkel (2018). Robot Rights. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press
No full textDavid J. Gunkel in his latest book Robot Rights presents the opportunities and challenges of integrating robots into moral and legal systems. The research question asked by the author is “Can and should robots have rights”? Following the Humean distinction between “is” and “ought”, Gunkel creates four statements that either opt for or against incorporating robots into legal discourse. The four modalities group contrasting opinions developed by different scholars on the subject of the eponymous robot rights. The author provides readers with yet another alternative approach to the question of legal recognition of robots which is based on Levinasian philosophy.MNiSW grant 261/ WCN/2019/1 “Wsparcie dla Czasopism Naukowych
