Last Temptation of Freedom: Life and Wanderings of Nikos Kaatzakis’s Work in Censorship Times

Del célebre escritor y traductor griego Nikos Kazantzakis –creador del mítico Zorba– quizás se conozca su intensa relación con España, su cultura y su historia. Sin embargo, poco o nada se sabe del largo y atormentado periplo de sus obras en plena dictadura franquista, cuando su pluma, vibrante y heterodoxa, se enfrentó con el riguroso dogmatismo de la censura. El rico e importante caudal de documentos conservados en el Archivo General de Administración de Alcalá de Henares nos permite, por un lado, reconstruir con precisión el complejo entramado de la circulación de su obra a partir de los años cincuenta y, por otro, brindar un ejemplo más de las modalidades de la censura editorial y sus repercusiones a medio y largo plazo, descubriendo que hasta los años ochenta un lector español accedía a la obra de Kazantzakis casi exclusivamente a través de las Obras selectas de la editorial Planeta, variamente enmendadas e intervenidas.The strong relationship between Spain, its culture and history, and Nikos Kazantzakis, the renowned Greek writer and translator, creator of the mythical Zorba, is likely to be well-known. However, we know little or nothing about the long and tormented trajectory of his works during the Franco regime, when his heretodoxical pen had to struggle with the tough dogmatism of the censorship. The huge and significant amount of documents, kept in the Archivo General de Administracion of Alcalá de Henares, allows us, on the one hand, to precisely reconstruct the complex network of the circulation of his works, since the fifties and, on the other hand, provides us one more example of the patterns of the censorship on the publishing sector and its impact, in the medium and short term. Thus we could discover that, till the eighties, the Spanish reader could access Kazantzakis’s works, almost exclusively through his Obras selectas, published by Planeta, emended and modified in different ways

Search for Spin-Dependent Short-Range Force Using Optically Polarized 3^3He Gas

We propose a new method to detect short-range \textit{P-} and \textit{T-} violating interactions between nucleons, based on measuring the precession frequency shift of polarized $^3$He nuclei in the presence of an unpolarized mass. To maximize the sensitivity, a high-pressure $^3$He cell with thin glass windows (250 $\rm\mu m$) is used to minimize the distance between the mass and $^3$He. The magnetic field fluctuation is suppressed by using the $^3$He gas in a different region of the cell as a magnetometer. Systematic uncertainties from the magnetic properties of the mass are suppressed by flipping both the magnetic field and spin directions. Without any magnetic shielding, our result has already reached the sensitivity of the current best limit. With improvement in uniformity and stability of the field, we can further improve the sensitivity by two orders of magnitude over the force range from $10^{-4}-10^{-2}$ m

Towards Building Wind Tunnels for Data Center Design

Data center design is a tedious and expensive process. Recently, this process has become even more challenging as users of cloud services expect to have guaranteed levels of availability, durability and performance. A new challenge for the service providers is to find the most cost-effective data center design and configuration that will accommodate the users ’ expectations, on ever-changing workloads, and constantly evolving hardware and software components. In this paper, we argue that data center design should become a systematic process. First, it should be done using an integrated approach that takes into account both the hardware and the software interdependencies, and their impact on users ’ expectations. Second, it should be performed in a “wind tunnel”, which uses large-scale simulation to systematically explore the impact of a data center configuration on both the users ’ and the service providers ’ requirements. We believe that this is the first step towards systematic data center design – an exciting area for future research. 1

Age-related EBV positive clonal B-cell Lymphoid proliferation (EBV+-DLBCL)

The Ebstein Barr virus(EBV), herpes virus 5 has been associated with lymphoproliferative disordrers. Age-related EBV+ B-LPD is defined as an EBV+ clonal B-cell lymphoid proliferation or EBV+-DLBCL developing in patients over the age of 40 years in the absence of any known immunodeficiency and without an underlying T-cell lymphoma1. We present a case of EBV+ clonal B-cell lymphoid proliferation

Fuzzy Description of Skin Lesions

We propose a system for describing skin lesions images based on a human perception model. Pigmented skin lesions including melanoma and other types of skin cancer as well as non-malignant lesions are used. Works on classification of skin lesions already exist but they mainly concentrate on melanoma. The novelty of our work is that our system gives to skin lesion images a semantic label in a manner similar to humans. This work consists of two parts: first we capture they way users perceive each lesion, second we train a machine learning system that simulates how people describe images. For the first part, we choose 5 attributes: colour (light to dark), colour uniformity (uniform to non-uniform), symmetry (symmetric to non-symmetric), border (regular to irregular), texture (smooth to rough). Using a web based form we asked people to pick a value of each attribute for each lesion. In the second part, we extract 93 features from each lesions and we trained a machine learning algorithm using such features as input and the values of the human attributes as output. Results are quite promising, especially for the colour related attributes, where our system classifies over 80 % of the lesions into the same semantic classes as humans

Critical current degradation in HTS wires due to cyclic mechanical strain

HTS wires, which may be used in many devices such as magnets and rotating machines, may be subjected to mechanical strains from electromagnetic, thermal and centripetal forces. In some applications these strains will be repeated several thousand times during the lifetime of the device. We have measured critical current degradation due to repeated strain cycles for both compressive and tensile strains. Results for BSCCO-2223 HTS conductor samples are presented for strain values up to 0.5% and cycle numbers up to and beyond 10/sup 4/

Greater repertoire and temporal variability of cross-frequency coupling (CFC) modes in resting-state neuromagnetic recordings among children with reading difficulties

Cross-frequency, phase-to-amplitude coupling (PAC) between neuronal oscillations at rest may serve as the substrate that supports information exchange between functionally specialized neuronal populations both within and between cortical regions. The study utilizes novel algorithms to identify prominent instantaneous modes of cross-frequency coupling and their temporal stability in resting state magnetoencephalography (MEG) data from 25 students experiencing severe reading difficulties (RD) and 27 age-matched non-impaired readers (NI). Phase coherence estimates were computed in order to identify the prominent mode of PAC interaction for each sensor, sensor pair, and pair of frequency bands (from δ to γ) at successive time windows of the continuous MEG record. The degree of variability in the characteristic frequency-pair PACf1−f2 modes over time was also estimated. Results revealed a wider repertoire of prominent PAC interactions in RD as compared to NI students, suggesting an altered functional substrate for information exchange between neuronal assemblies in the former group. Moreover, RD students showed significant variability in PAC modes over time. This temporal instability of PAC values was particularly prominent: (a) within and between right hemisphere temporo-parietal and occipito-temporal sensors and, (b) between left hemisphere frontal, temporal, and occipito-temporal sensors and corresponding right hemisphere sites. Altered modes of neuronal population coupling may help account for extant data revealing reduced, task-related neurophysiological and hemodynamic activation in left hemisphere regions involved in the reading network in RD. Moreover, the spatial distribution of pronounced instability of cross-frequency coupling modes in this group may provide an explanation for previous reports suggesting the presence of inefficient compensatory mechanisms to support reading
