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
Full text linkThe 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

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

Ethan Frome: a digital scholarly edition
No full textEthan Frome: A Digital Scholarly Edition is the product of using a digital tool, Scalar, to edit literature. Among the critical editions of Ethan Frome in print today—thinking mainly of Kristin O’Lauer and Cynthia Griffin Wolff’s 1994 Norton edition, and Carol J. Singley’s 2013 Broadview edition—this version published through Scalar will digitize and expand the scholarly apparatus featured in those print books. Scalar is special in offering new capabilities for the writing of critical annotations. In this platform, annotations feature multi-media source-material which offer further clarity by including images and video to accompany an explanatory note. Scalar’s open-access feature will make the book freely available online to students and readers, and accessible by a URL once the project is finalized and made public. This edition also includes an introduction that highlights critical conversation concerning the biographical influences of Ethan Frome. I choose this critical perspective to frame the story because of its themes alongside the life events experienced by Wharton. Ancillary materials include collations of the copy-text (Scribner’s, 1922) with the manuscript, the first edition (Scribner’s, 1911), and the Scribner’s Magazine issues of Ethan Frome (1910), meant to show the changes that took place throughout the text’s compositional lifetime. Digital components of Scalar are used to imbed media in the text’s explanatory notes, an expansion of the act of critical annotation as seen in print editions, for the way supplementary materials of other media can be used to clarify moments in the text. The present project, as it stands, tests this hypothesis with the digital artifact—the prototypical Scalar book—discussed in this document, by presenting its materials in a way that show its potential as a scholarly tool as self-evident. It is my intention to refine my use of this digital tool, and the project, at a doctoral program starting in 2018.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Damiano Consilvi
The delusion of the nostalgic cure in Ethan Frome and The return of the soldier
No full textEthan Frome (1911) by Edith Wharton and The Return of the Soldier (1918) by Rebecca West describe a psychological journey and also document a cultural moment. Written at the genesis of modernism, they express the anxiety about fragmentation of society that began with the industrial revolution and climaxes with World War I. In these texts this fragmentation is represented through suppressed desire, broken masculinity, and wasted potential. To cope with this cumulative trauma the primary male characters, Ethan Frome and Chris Baldry, use nostalgia, a sentimental and romantic longing for a past that did not exist, to recreate the circumstances of their youth. Existing in the past, however, has dire consequences, for as Ethan and Chris attempt to recreate the circumstances of their youth, they also, as Freud theorizes, repeat, relearn, and relive their trauma. In this way, nostalgia is not only inauthentic, but also damaging. Their respective lovers, Mattie and Margaret, who at first appear to be saviors in Ethan and Chris’s nostalgic delusions by activating their life instinct, actually become angels of death, driving them toward a bleak future and their inevitable demise. Ethan and Chris are pawns by which Wharton and West demonstrate the illusion of romanticism and its failure to act as cure. Nostalgia is only a temporary palliative, a placebo, masking reality.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jennifer A. Hunte
