2022 Resident Scholar Reflection: Liz Hutter
No full textLiz Hutter, an assistant professor of English at the University of Dayton, received the Marian Library Resident Scholar Fellowship for the project “Reading, Writing, and Seeing Health and Disability in Community at Lourdes Sanctuary.”
An account from the writer Flannery O’Connor, whose cousin suggested a pilgrimage to Lourdes as a healing intervention for a chronic illness, prompted Hutter’s interest in pursuing what she sees as a binary logic often associated with Lourdes, the shrine commemorating the 1858 apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous.
O’Connor made a distinction clear to her cousin: “I am going as a pilgrim, not a patient.”
Religious beliefs and spiritual practices play a role in how many people understand their illnesses or disabilities, Hutter posits. At the same time, religious institutions and spiritual communities are commonly involved in health promotion and communication around illness and disability. These individual beliefs and institutional practices merge on the therapeutic and spiritual landscape of the Lourdes sanctuary. Using materials and expertise in the Marian Library, she plans to examine Lourdes from multiple disciplines as not only a place for individual reflection and healing, but also as a space for examining community relationships and access to community services for persons with neurological, physical, sensory and other disabilities. By employing a disability studies perspective, she says, she plans to destabilize the rigid distinction O’Connor articulated between pilgrim and patient
Linear Kinematic Features (leads & pressure ridges) detected and tracked in sea-ice deformation simulated in an Arctic configuration of MITgcm using a 2-km horizontal grid spacing from 1997 to 2008
No full textLeads and pressure ridges are dominant features of the Arctic sea ice cover. Not only do they affect heat loss and surface drag, but also provide insight into the underlying physics of sea ice deformation. Due to their elongated shape they are referred as Linear Kinematic Features (LKFs). This data-set includes LKFs that were detected and tracked in sea ice deformation simulated in an Arctic configuration of MITgcm using a 2-km horizontal grid spacing. The model data is sampled for the entire observing period of the RADARSAT Geophysical Processor System (RGPS). The data-set spans the winter month (November to May) from 1997 to 2008 and covers the entire Arctic Ocean.

Due to their elongated shape they are referred as Linear Kinematic Features (LKFs). This data-set includes LKFs that were detected and tracked in sea ice deformation data obtained during the MOSAiC expedition from Sentinel-1 SAR data (von Albedyl & Hutter, 2023). The data-set spans the winter months between October 2019 and May 2020. A detailed description of the data-set and of the algorithms deriving it is provided in Hutter et al. (2019). We used the updated version of the algorithm for the data processing (Hutter, 2023). The dataset is closer described in Ringeisen et al. (2023)

Explicit Legg-Hutter intelligence calculations which suggest non-Archimedean intelligence
No full textAre the real numbers rich enough to measure intelligence? We generalize a result of Alexander and Hutter about the so-called Legg-Hutter intelligence measures of reinforcement learning agents. Using the generalized result, we exhibit a paradox: in one particular version of the Legg-Hutter intelligence measure, certain agents all have intelligence 0, even though in a certain sense some of them outperform others. We show that this paradox disappears if we vary the Legg-Hutter intelligence measure to be hyperreal-valued rather than real-valued
Natural variation in Drosophila melanogaster
No full textThis work is dedicated to studying natural variation in D. melanogaster at the DNA sequence and gene expression level. In addition I present a new version of the DNA polymorphism analysis program VariScan, which includes significant improvements.
In CHAPTER 1 I describe a genome scan of single nucleotide polymorphism in two natural D. melanogaster populations (from Africa and Europe) on the third chromosome. Together with polymorphism data previously published for the X chromosome of the same populations, this allows a comparative study of the polymorphism patterns of the X chromosome and an autosome. The frequency spectrum of mutations and the patterns of linkage disequilibrium are investigated. The observed patterns indicate that there is a significant difference in the behavior of the two chromosomes, as has already been suggested by previous studies. To uncover the reasons for this a coalescent based maximum likelihood method is applied that incorporates the effects of demographic history and unequal sex ratios. For the African population the differential behavior of the chromosomes can be explained by its demographic history and an excess of females. In Europe, a population bottleneck and an excess of males alone cannot explain the patterns we observe. The additional action of positive selection in this population is proposed as a possible explanation.
In CHAPTER 2 I investigate the variation in gene expression of the two aforementioned populations. Whole-genome microarrays are used to study levels of expression for 88% of all known genes in eight adult males from both populations. The observed levels of expression variation are equal in Africa and Europe, despite the fact that DNA sequence variation is much higher in Africa. This is evidence for the action of stabilizing selection governing levels of expression polymorphism. Supporting this view, genes involved in many different functions, and are therefore on strong selective constraint, show less variation than do genes with only few functions. The experimental design allows the search for genes which differ in their expression patterns between Europe and Africa and might therefore have undergone adaptive evolution. Detected candidates include genes putatively involved in insecticide resistance and food choice. Surprisingly, many genes over-expressed in Africa are involved in the formation and function of the flying apparatus.
In CHAPTER 3 I present version 2 of the program VariScan. This program was designed to analyse patterns of DNA sequence polymorphism on a chromosomal scale. The functionality of the core analysis tool, the wavelet decomposition, is described. In addition, multiple improvements to the previous version are presented. The program now supports the “pairwise deletion” option. This is essential for analysing data at the chromosome scale, since such data often contains incomplete information. It is now possible to add outgroup information, which allows the calculation of additional statistics. Furthermore, the separate analysis of different predefined chromosomal regions is added as an option. To increase the user friendliness, a graphical user interface is now included as part of the software package. Finally, VariScan is applied to published and computer-generated data and the ability of the wavelet-based analysis to uncover chromosomal regions with interesting DNA polymorphism patterns is demonstrated
Variations of porosity in a sheared pressurized layer of saturated soil induced by vertical drainage of water
No full textInternational audienceWe use the mixture model of soil saturated by a fluid, as developed by dell'Isola & Hutter and applied to an isothermal steady simple shear flow pressed and drained by a steady flow of water from above. The governing equations are reduced to a single second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) for the solid-volume fraction; its coefficients depend on the fluid viscosity and the thermodynamic pressure. The coefficients of this ODE give rise to the application of perturbation techniques; the solutions constructed in this way demonstrate that when the thermodynamic pressure is ignored, the solid-volume profile varies unrealistically largely over the layer thickness. Furthermore, when the vertical fluid convective acceleration terms are incorporated, they give rise to a 'destabilizing' mechanism in the sense that a boundary layer over which large changes of the solid-volume fraction arise and which is located where the draining fluid enters may flip to the exit boundary, and so make effective fluidities against shear deformations large. So, depending on the amount of water flow through the layer, the horizontal shearing to prescribed shear tractions may be small or large. For ice-sheet flow situations on soft beds, the flow rates achieving this flip are of the order of a few tens of centimetres per year and are, thus, fairly realistic
