The Ethical Representations of Intergenerational Migration Traumas

Through this project I study literary representations of the experiences of migration that reveal intergenerational traumas that are a result of migration. By analyzing the haunting persistence of trauma and the ethical implications of representing it in several literary works, my analyses present the intergenerational impact of dealing with migration. I analyze works such as Antígona González by Sara Uribe, Are you bringing something from Mexico? by Daimary Sanches Moreno, and Migrante 72 by Alma Guillermoprieto, among others. In examining these texts, I investigate how authors represent traumas such as violence experienced at the border and through the process of migration, the loss and sacrifices that come with migrating, the grappling with absence and closure, and the struggle to maintain cultural connections are all examples of what I research in my analysis of these literary texts

Generation of a two-photon state from a quantum dot in a microcavity under incoherent and coherent continuous excitation

We analyze the impact of both an incoherent and a coherent continuous excitation on our proposal to generate a two-photon state from a quantum dot in a microcavity [New J. Phys. 13, 113014 (2011)]. A comparison between exact numerical results and analytical formulas provides the conditions to efficiently generate indistinguishable and simultaneous pairs of photons under both types of excitation.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, conference proceeding

Guanajuato: a virtual exhibit

This thesis will present a virtual exhibition of a tourist destination in Mexico, Guanajuato City. By applying my previous experiences and the knowledge and skill acquired during this MFA program, I developed a Multimedia exhibition that encompasses a new virtual experience of the Mexican culture. This exhibition demonstrates my proficiency in the area of motion graphics

De los technopaegnia carolingios a la clerecía rabínica medieval. Nuevos horizontes en la literatura medieval a la luz de la poesía comparada

The concept of «mester de clerecía» is exposed here as a broad phenomenon whose origins are in Medieval non-quantitative latin poetry, in which, after the lost of the vowels quantity, the number of syllables is determining. This work will analyze two texts from a comparative point of view: a latin poem composed in tetrastichs of pentadecasyllables during the carolingian period, attributed to Paulin of aquilea, which reflects the initial status of medieval narrative poetry «a sílabas contadas»; and a castilian poem composed in the 13th century in «cuaderna vía» written by a Jewish author: the Coplas de Yosef. Both have a common source: the story of Joseph narrated in the book of Genesis. However, the literary procedures used by both authors, as well as the final results are very different. The contrastive analysis of the two texts make us determine the ideology present in each of them and also make us pose key questions related to the concept of «mester de clerecía», its definition, limits and evolution.El concepto de «mester de clerecía» se plantea aquí como un fenómeno amplio que se inicia en la poesía mediolatina no cuantitativa, en la que el cómputo silábico se convierte en un factor determinante tras la pérdida de la cantidad de las sílabas. En este trabajo analizaremos dos textos de forma comparativa: un poema latino compuesto en el período carolingio en cuartetas pentadecasilábicas y atribuido a Paulino de aquilea, que refleja ese estadio inicial de la poesía narrativa medieval «a sílabas contadas», y un poema castellano del siglo XIII en cuaderna vía escrito por un autor judío: las Coplas de Yosef. ambos textos tienen como base el mismo tema: el relato de José narrado en el Génesis, sin embargo, la formulación del mismo, así como el resultado final son muy diferentes. El análisis contrastivo de estos poemas nos lleva a determinar la ideología que subyace a cada uno de ellos, así como a plantear cuestiones claves en relación al concepto de mester de clerecía, su definición, límites y evolución

Throughput and range characterization of IEEE 802.11ah

The most essential part of Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure is the wireless communication system that acts as a bridge for the delivery of data and control messages. However, the existing wireless technologies lack the ability to support a huge amount of data exchange from many battery driven devices spread over a wide area. In order to support the IoT paradigm, the IEEE 802.11 standard committee is in process of introducing a new standard, called IEEE 802.11ah. This is one of the most promising and appealing standards, which aims to bridge the gap between traditional mobile networks and the demands of the IoT. In this paper, we first discuss the main PHY and MAC layer amendments proposed for IEEE 802.11ah. Furthermore, we investigate the operability of IEEE 802.11ah as a backhaul link to connect devices over a long range. Additionally, we compare the aforementioned standard with previous notable IEEE 802.11 amendments (i.e. IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11ac) in terms of throughput (with and without frame aggregation) by utilizing the most robust modulation schemes. The results show an improved performance of IEEE 802.11ah (in terms of power received at long range while experiencing different packet error rates) as compared to previous IEEE 802.11 standards.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, 5 table

Destination image, satisfaction and destination and loyalty in cruise tourism: the case of Málaga (Spain)

Over the past decades cruise tourism is a sector that has experienced a tremendous growth around the globe. The relations that are established between the different agents that interact in this industry, passengers, crew and residents are crucial for visitor satisfaction and the success of the tourist destination. The study has analyzed the different types of cruise passengers who landed at the port of Malaga and their perception of the city through destination image, satisfaction and destination loyalty. A cluster analysis identified the existence of four different groups of passengers whose opinions can give a specific answer to the consolidation of Malaga as a quality tourist destination. From a practical point of view, recommendations about the adequate management of the destination´s attractions for the cruise industry are discussed in the conclusions.Universidad de Málaga.

Detection of a Super Star Cluster as the Ionizing Source in the Low Luminosity AGN NGC 4303

HST UV STIS imaging and spectroscopy of the low luminosity AGN (LLAGN) NGC 4303 have identified the previously detected UV-bright nucleus of this galaxy, as a compact, massive and luminous stellar cluster. The cluster with a size (FWHM) of 3.1 pc, and an ultraviolet luminosity log L (1500 A}(erg/s/A)= 38.33 is identified as a nuclear super star cluster (SSC) like those detected in the circumnuclear regions of spirals and starburst galaxies. The UV spectrum showing the characteristic broad P Cygni lines produced by the winds of massive young stars, is best fitted by the spectral energy distribution of a massive cluster of 1e5 Msol generated in an instantaneous burst 4 Myr ago. No evidence for an additional non-thermal ionizing source associated with an accreting black hole is detected in the ultraviolet. We hypothesize that at least some LLAGNs in spirals could be understood as the result of the combined ionizing radiation emitted by an evolving SSC and a black hole (BH) accreting with low radiative efficiency, coexisting in the inner few parsecs region.Comment: 4 figure

Theory of frequency-filtered and time-resolved N-photon correlations

A theory of correlations between N photons of given frequencies and detected at given time delays is presented. These correlation functions are usually too cumbersome to be computed explicitly. We show that they are obtained exactly through intensity correlations between two-level sensors in the limit of their vanishing coupling to the system. This allows the computation of correlation functions hitherto unreachable. The uncertainties in time and frequency of the detection, which are necessary variables to describe the system, are intrinsic to the theory. We illustrate the formalism with the Jaynes--Cummings model, showing how correlations of various peaks at zero or finite time delays bring new insights into the dynamics of open quantum systems.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
