Alias States: Composing (for) Electronically Enhanced Set-ups
… project investigates the creation of hybrid set-ups that combine acoustic instruments with electronic technology and investigates how musical works can be composed for these bespoke set-ups. The submitted compositions engage this two-fold act of composition to focus on instrumental construction; …

Between Floors: The Ups and Downs of Mediated Narrative
“Between Floors: The Ups and Downs of Mediated Narrative” and the accompanying creative remediation project, “Between Floors: Love and Other Blood Related Diseases,” meld theory and practice of print with electronic literature and installation art. I argue that as the medium changes, the narrative …

Resonant UPS topologies for the emerging hybrid fiber coaxial networks
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems have been extensively applied to feed critical loads in many areas. Typical examples of critical loads include life-support equipment, computers and telecommunication systems. Although all UPS systems have a common purpose to provide continuous power-to …

Employing UPS for Safe and Efficient Power Oversubscription in Data Centers
… we propose to use uninterrupted power supply (UPS) as an energy storage unit to assist supply the server when the work load exceeds the rated capacity of CB. It can prevent the CB from tripping and increase the peak power capacity. We design a circuit to control when the server draws power from …

Gromov Witten Invariants of Blow Ups of P² using Logarithmic Geometry
… for computing Gromov-Witten invariants of blow ups of P² can be derived using logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory and punctured maps. We extend the recursion to compute Gromov-Witten invariants with Hodge class insertions.

The validity and reliability of a 1-minute half sit-ups test
… Subjects (N= 133) performed as many sit-ups as they could in one minute. A test-retest reliability study was conducted for two measuring devices, in which subjects performed the sit-ups twice using the same apparatus. An inter-apparatus reliability study between the two apparatus was …

Aspects of Generalized Geometry: Branes with Boundary, Blow-ups, Brackets and Bundles
This thesis explores aspects of generalized geometry, a geometric framework introduced by Hitchin and Gualtieri in the early 2000s. In the first part, we introduce a new class of submanifolds in stable generalized complex manifolds, so-called Lagrangian branes with boundary. We establish a …

Computers, cut-ups and combinatory volvelles : an archaeology of text-generating mechanisms
Through an archaeology of text-generating mechanisms, the present work excavates the deep history of reading and writing as material, combinatory practices. On the one hand, by positing the physical manipulation of language as a form of reading and writing, this archaeology answers Roger Chartier's …
