Drawn towards (an exhibition of drawings)
No full textAn exhibition of graphic work by Simon Read:
My proposal for the exhibition at the Cut Gallery is that, rather than show a selection of studio work, I would focus primarily on drawing and more specifically upon drawing that is used as a means of exploring ideas and even more specifically laying stress upon work that has been carried out within this region.
My decision to do this was not just a matter of accessibility, but more to use it as a platform for how an artist can use work directly as a vehicle for exploration and engaging with contemporary issues, such as environmental change.
Over the last ten years I have increasingly sought ways in which I can actively contribute to this debate. Being based upon the Suffolk Coast in daily contact with a changing estuary landscape, means that I have a privileged insight, which I now feel that I can articulate through my relationship with the local community.
Now I find myself operating on many levels, my public role has expanded to put me on more committees than I would have initially imagined and I am energetically exploring ways that I can establish interdisciplinary collaborations in an academic context. It is always difficult to square this kind of involvement with the autonomy of an artist's practice. This is something that I cannot claim to have an answer for but have the conviction that, if pursued, it is bound to make sense.
To this end I have suggested that, rather than a finite show of work, this exhibition should be taken in the spirit of an open question.

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

long-read-tools.org: an interactive catalogue of analysis methods for long-read sequencing data
No full text© The Author(s) 2021. Published by Oxford University Press GigaScience. BACKGROUND: The data produced by long-read third-generation sequencers have unique characteristics compared to short-read sequencing data, often requiring tailored analysis tools for tasks ranging from quality control to downstream processing. The rapid growth in software that addresses these challenges for different genomics applications is difficult to keep track of, which makes it hard for users to choose the most appropriate tool for their analysis goal and for developers to identify areas of need and existing solutions to benchmark against. FINDINGS: We describe the implementation of long-read-tools.org, an open-source database that organizes the rapidly expanding collection of long-read data analysis tools and allows its exploration through interactive browsing and filtering. The current database release contains 478 tools across 32 categories. Most tools are developed in Python, and the most frequent analysis tasks include base calling, de novo assembly, error correction, quality checking/filtering, and isoform detection, while long-read single-cell data analysis and transcriptomics are areas with the fewest tools available. CONCLUSION: Continued growth in the application of long-read sequencing in genomics research positions the long-read-tools.org database as an essential resource that allows researchers to keep abreast of both established and emerging software to help guide the selection of the most relevant tool for their analysis needs
Reinforcement bipolar read: addressing read disturb in RRAM
No full textMemory advances have not kept up with computing demands. Emerging device technology Resistive RAM (RRAM) addresses this by enabling computation-in-memory. However, RRAM suffers from read disturb, limiting viability. While earlier work has had some success in reducing read disturb by switching the read current direction (a bipolar read scheme), the RRAM device eventually degraded. In this work, a reinforcing bipolar read scheme is introduced, which aims to prevent read disturb by reinforcing both HRS and LRS, away from the undefined state. From device-level simulation, this reinforcing behaviour is predicted for V = 0.5, 0.4 and 0.3 V with a fixed switching ratio between time under positive and negative read voltage polarity rsw i tch = 2.5, 2.5 and 2.75, respectively. At V = 0.2 V and V = 0.1 V, it is predicted that no reinforcement scheme exists. The bipolar read scheme found for V = 0.5 V was evaluated in circuit simulation with a sense amplifier. however the HRS and LRS reinforcing behaviour found at device-level could not be replicated. From unipolar read results at circuit level, it was determined no switching ratio exists that reinforces both the HRS and LRS state boundaries as chosen here at RHRS,min = 12.8kΩ and RLRS,max = 4.4kΩ for V = 0.5 V. However, a 5.1x reduction in resistance drift compared to conventional unipolar read was still obtained.Computer Engineerin
