Andres Serrano: Uncensored Photographs
No full textTrès vite cantonné à sa photographie Piss Christ (1987) et au scandale qu’elle a provoqué en 1989 aux Etats-Unis, Andres Serrano est un artiste qui a fait l’objet d’une forte catégorisation : « Je me rends compte que les gens s’attendent à un certain niveau de provocation de ma part […] Mais lorsque je provoque, ils se mettent en colère et quand je ne provoque pas, ils sont déçus » (p. 41). Le catalogue Andres Serrano: Uncensored Photographs tente ainsi de questionner la notion de provocation..

Multiplexed color encoded silica nanospheres prepared by stepwise encapsulating quantum dot/SiO2 multilayers
No full text: We present a flexible method for multiplexed colour encoded nanospheres (MENs) encapsulating layers of different colour quantum dots. Our method results in highly efficient photoluminescent nanospheres with monodisperse, photostable, and excellent luminescence properties

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
False Consciousness in Financial Markets: Or is it in Ivory Towers?
No full textIn general, models in finance assume that investors are risk averse. An example of such a recent model is the pioneering work of Aumann and Serrano, which presents an economic index of riskiness of gambles which is independent of wealth and holds (as might be understood from the adjective “economic”) for exclusively risk averse investors. In their paper, they discuss gambles with positive expected returns which will be accepted or rejected by agents which different levels of risk aversion. The question never asked by the authors (and in most of the finance literature) is: Who is offering these attractive gambles? To arrive at an answer, we extend the Aumann-Serrano risk index in such a way that it accommodates gambles with either positive or negative expectations and is thus suitable for both the risk averse and risk lovers. Once we allow for the existence of risk lovers, it may be shown that in financial markets, many gambles with negative expectations are taken either knowingly or unknowingly so that there are always people that act as if they are risk lovers. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of our result, in particular that gambling is by no means restricted to the casino or the track.
Regularization of a neural network for binary classification
No full textTreballs Finals de Grau de Física, Facultat de Física, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2019, Tutora: M. Ángeles Serrano MoralNeural networks are complex non-linear models used to learn representations of data with multiple
levels of abstraction. In this work, we introduce the basic notions of a neural network model, explaining the training process and generalization capabilities. In particular, to avoid overfitting to the training data, we study the L2 regularization method. Finally, an application of 2D vector classification has been developed to illustrate the concept

Exploring Emptiness: An Investigation of MA and MU in My Sonic Composition Practice
No full textThe commentary investigates Japanese aesthetics of space, silence and emptiness - ma and mu - that informed my compositional practice during the research period 2012 - 2015. The portfolio comprises text compositions and sound installations in which forms of micro events and sustained events are employed. Throughout, the emphasis is on my personal engagement with, and manifestation of emptiness that concerns a particular model of listening and perception.
Chapter 1 discusses six primary research areas: ma and mu, material, text, form, listening and perception. Firstly, I introduce ma and mu by examining noh culture and Zeami's teaching of senu hima (where there is no-action) in the context of my personal approaches to music. The following subjects are then used to contextualise my PhD practice by means of examples from various composers and visual artists. Here, these particular and enigmatic concepts are explored through Japanese art as well as Western contemporary works by Alvin Lucier, Eliane Radigue and those of the Wandelweiser collective.
Part 2 provides contextual commentaries on selected compositions from the portfolio that mostly articulate my aesthetics in relation to the topics covered in Chapter 1. koso koso addresses my methodologies to investigate the essence of senu hima, followed by treow that discusses my approach to materials and the importance of space. I move on to grade two and grade two extended in order to examine text scores, and then, look into Espèces d'espaces 03 and 04 as examples of musical forms that I employ.
Finally, listening and perception are investigated through the compositions gnome and con.de.structuring. Throughout, I describe how my works explore emptiness as a result of my particular emphasis on listening over composing
