Ethan Canin, 30th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textEthan Canin is the author of six books of fiction, including the story collections Emperor of the Air, and The Palace Thief, and the novel Carry Me Across the Water. He has been called by the New Yorker one of “twenty writers for the new millennium.” Canin’s widely anthologized short stories have appeared in the New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Paris Review, and many other magazines, and have also been the basis for several Hollywood movies. A graduate of Harvard Medical School and a licensed physician, Canin gave up medicine a decade ago to become a professor at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, in Iowa City, Iowa

How theme building helps to create impactful electronic dance music
No full textThe thesis was created in order to explore the idea of creating stories to coin-cide with music. The aim was to give the reader an understanding of the artistry of electronic dance music. The author thoroughly documented existing works of art in the form of an EP (Extended Play) and album from two separate artists. Interviews of Virtual Riot and Xilent were researched in order to present their ideas of theme building and storytelling within their respective works. The in-terviews provided the ability to view the work they created subjectively while referencing the artists objective viewpoint and intentions.
The project portion of the thesis is where the author demonstrated the useful-ness of the findings by writing and producing their own EP. A collection of random songs written by the author was then put up against the newly made EP. The goal of this is to contrast how impactful the themed EP is in compari-son to the randomly assembled EP.
The conclusive idea is that music is typically more impactful if it can convey any level of story. Deep down people want more than just hype. The job of the artists is complete If the listener can become immersed in the music’s fabricat-ed world. With EPs it is imperative to maintain a mood for the listener and story-telling is just the way to do it.Links to the media portion

Investigating the influence of steric hindrance on selective anion transport
No full text
A series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkyl tren based tris-thiourea anion transporters were synthesised and their anion binding and transport properties studied. Overall, increasing the steric bulk of the substituents resulted in improved chloride binding and transport abilities. Including a macrocycle in the scaffold enhanced the selectivity of chloride transport in the presence of fatty acids, by reducing the undesired H

flux facilitated by fatty acid flip-flop. This study demonstrates the benefit of including enforced steric hindrance and encapsulation in the design of more selective anion receptors.

FCT-GAN: Fourier Neural Operator for Global Relation Enhancement in Tabular Data Synthesizing using Generative Adversarial Networks
No full textSince the regularization of data privacy (e.g., GDPR), the effectiveness of data sharing has decreased. A promising technique to circumvent this problem is tabular data synthesis (i.e., the generation of fake tabular data that statistically resembles the original data). However, the state-of-the-art tabular data synthesis model, CTAB-GAN, fails at robustly imitating global data dependencies and underperforms when column orders get permuted. CTAB-GAN internally uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) which limits the model’s performance due to a strictly non-global data perspective during iterative training phases. To address this limitation, this paper proposes FCT-GAN which leverages the Fourier Neural Operator to learn global dependencies in the frequency domain. Specifically, it enhances CTAB-GAN by replacing the CNN of the discriminator with a four-layered two-dimensional Fourier Neural Operator. As a consequence of FCT-GAN’s global nature and cross-column relation robustness, it outperforms CTAB-GAN and additionally offers the column permutation invariant property. The evaluation of FCT-GAN on five datasets shows that the generated data, remarkably resembles the real data and reveals an increase in accuracy, by up to 19% for five machine learning algorithms independent of data column order, compared to CTAB-GAN.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
I Left My Communicator on Sigma Iotia!
No full textThe astroquarks welcome noted science blogger and author Dr. Ethan Siegel whose new book Treknology takes a look at the intersection of science and science fiction. While you may already have a tablet computer, warp drive is probably still a few years away. But Elon Musk may be sending missions to the moon in less time than it takes the U.S.S. Enterprise to complete its 5-year mission (so, less than 5 years, get it?). Tune in for the latest news on exploration of the solar system as well as a look back to some classic Trek-nology with Dr. Ethan Siegel on this episode of Walkabout the Galaxy
Simulated pion photoproduction experiments
No full textThesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 18).Introduction: In this paper, I will be assessing the capabilities of the Neutral Meson Spectrometer (NMS) detector in a planned experiment at the High Intensity Gamma Source at Duke University. I will review the relevant theory and set out the importance of this experiment. I will describe the proposed apparatus and how I have modeled it in my simulation. I will explain the data we wish to draw from the experiment and present results as to how well I believe this setup will perform.by Ethan Howe.S.B
