Daniel Barbu and Anti-Communism
No full textDaniel Barbu was one of the most important post-communist political scientists in Romania. He wrote extensively about the post-communist Romanian political society,and the understanding of the communist regime. Barbu’s critique of post-communist anti-communism was accompanied by his critical evaluation of the Romanian state’s official condemnation of communism in 2006. Before becoming a historian, political scientist, and theologian, Daniel Barbu was an art historian. He graduated from the Nicolae Grigorescu National Institute of Art in Bucharest in 1980 and then worked as a museum custodian at the Village Museum, and the Museum of Art in Bucharest. This article focuses on Daniel Barbu\u27s experience as an art historian during the communist regime in Romania and highlights his anti-communist stance in two reports he wrote with Octavian Roske, and Radu Ciuceanu in 1981 and 1984. The reports documented the destruction of historical monuments under the Ceaușescu regime and were clandestinely sent to Radio Free Europe. This prompted a Securitate investigation that failed to identify the authors
Daniel's twists of Hooley's delta function
No full textFollowing ideas of Daniel, a function analogous to Hooley’s Delta function is constructed for multiplicative functions with values in the unit disc. When the multiplicative function is of oscillatory nature, moments of the new Delta function are smaller than those for Hooley’s original. Similar ideas apply to incomplete convolutions if the multiplicative function satisfies a more rigid condition that is best expressed in terms of its generating Dirichlet series. The most prominent example where the theory applies is the Möbius function, thus providing some new insights into its value distribution
PREDA: An R-package to identify regional variations in genomic data
No full textChromosomal patterns of genomic signals represent molecular ngerprints that may reveal how the local structural organization of a genome impacts the functional control mechanisms. Thus, the integrative analysis of multiple sources of genomic data and information deepens the resolution and enhances the interpretation of stand-alone high-throughput data. In this note, we present PREDA (Position RElated Data Analysis), an R package for detecting regional variations in genomics data. PREDA identies relevant chromosomal patterns in high-throughput data using a smoothing approach that accounts for distance and density variability of genomics features. Custom-designed data structures allow efciently managing diverse signals in different genomes. A variety of smoothing functions and statistics empower exible and robust workows. The modularity of package design allows an easy deployment of custom analytical pipelines. Tabular and graphical representations facilitate downstream biological interpretation of results. © The Author 2011. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved
The Hegemonic Gaze and East-Central Europe - Challenging the Totalitarian Paradigm
No full textThe chapter introduces the notion of the "hegemonic gaze" in relation to the representation of East-Central Europe, demonstrating how the artist becomes interpellated as a regional subject, becoming simultaneously included and othered. It begins by examining the complexities involved in defining the region and the power dynamics involved in naming and being named. The author argues that different terms produce specific subject positions, reinforcing certain narratives about the region and foregrounding the end of communism and the failure of the socialist project.
Through the lens of Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding, the chapter explores how exhibitions and artworks depicting socialist monuments and architecture often become simplified and reinterpreted within the global art discourse. The author shows how the ‘‘hegemonic gaze’’ reinforces existing narratives and imposes meanings. Despite artists' efforts to engage with the complexities of the past, their work is often interpellated within predetermined frameworks that limit its interpretation
Multi-Modal Multi-Role UAV: Conceptual Study
No full textThis paper presents the conceptual design of a modular unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform featuring vertical/conventional take-off and landing (VTOL/CTOL) and interchangeable cabin modules tailored for different mission profiles, aimed at enhancing operational flexibility and reducing logistical complexity, thereby improving overall economic efficiency. The study addresses aerodynamic, structural, and propulsion aspects of a unified UAV configuration that can be reconfigured for a variety of missions, including cargo and passenger transport, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), medical evacuation (MEDEVAC/CASEVAC), search and rescue (SAR), combat/escort support, and electronic warfare (EW). A parametric analysis of propulsion sizing, aerodynamic performance, wing structural loading and landing gear sizing is conducted to assess the feasibility of the concept. The modular approach aims to enables significant cost savings, shorter turnaround times, and reduced logistical burden, without compromising mission capability
Adversarial Authorship Attribution in Open-Source Projects
No full textOpen-source software is open to anyone by design, whether it is a community of developers, hackers or malicious users. Authors of open-source software typically hide their identity through nicknames and avatars. However, they have no protection against authorship attribution techniques that are able to create software author profiles just by analyzing software characteristics. In this paper we present an author imitation attack that allows to deceive current authorship attribution systems and mimic a coding style of a target developer. Withing this context we explore the potential of the existing attribution techniques to be deceived. Our results show that we are able to imitate the coding style of the developers based on the data collected from the popular source code repository, GitHub. To subvert author imitation attack, we propose a novel author obfuscation approach that allows us to hide the coding style of the author. Unlike existing obfuscation tools, this new obfuscation technique uses transformations that preserve code readability. We assess the effectiveness of our attacks on several datasets produced by actual developers from GitHub, and participants of the GoogleCodeJam competition. Throughout our experiments we show that the author hiding can be achieved by making sensible transformations which significantly reduce the likelihood of identifying the author’s style to 0% by current authorship attribution systems
