Incoherent Beasts: Victorian Literature and the Problem of Species

This dissertation argues that the destabilization of species categories over the course of the nineteenth century generated vital new approaches to animal figuration in British poetry and prose. Taxonomized by the followers of Linnaeus and organized into moral hierarchies by popular zoology, animals entered nineteenth-century British culture as fixed types, differentiated by the hand of God and invested with allegorical significance. By the 1860s, evolutionary theory had dismantled the idea of an ordered, cleanly subdivided “animal kingdom,” leading to an attendant problem of meaning: How could animals work as figures—how could they signify in any coherent way—when their species identities were no longer stable? Examining works in a wide range of genres, I argue that the problem of species produced modes of figuration that grapple with—and in many ways, embrace—the increasing categorical and referential messiness of nonhuman creatures. My first chapter centers on dog poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Michael Field, in which tropes of muteness express the category-crossings of dogs and the erotic ambiguities of the human-pet relationship. Chapter 2 looks at midcentury novels by Charles Dickens and Charlotte Brontë, arguing that the trope of metonymy—a key trope of both novels and pets—expresses the semantic wanderings of animals and their power to subvert the identities of humans. Chapter 3 examines two works of literary nonsense, Charles Kingsley’s The Water-Babies and Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, arguing that they invert and critique prior genres that contained and controlled the queerness of creaturely life—including, in Kingsley’s case, aquarium writing, which literally and figuratively domesticated ocean ecologies in the Victorian imaginary. In my fourth and fifth chapters, I turn to Tennyson’s Idylls of the King and H.G. Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau, two late-nineteenth-century works that explore the destabilization of the human species while still fighting against the overwhelming irresistibility of both human exceptionalism and an anthropocentric, category-based worldview. Throughout the dissertation, I argue that these representational approaches achieve three major effects that represent a break from the more indexical, allegorical forms of animal figuration that were standard when the century began. Rather than reducing animals to static types, they foreground the alterity and queerness of individual creatures. At the same time, they challenge the very idea of individuality as such, depicting creatures—including the human—tangled in irreducible webs of ecological enmeshment. Most of all, they call into question their own ability to translate the creaturely world into language, destabilizing the Adamic relationship between names and things and allowing animals to mean in ways that subvert the agency of humans. By figuring animals differently, these texts invite us to see the many compelling possibilities—ontological, relational, ethical—in a world unstructured by the taxonomical gaze

A new perspective on Kepler-68: a scaled-down solar system analog

Abstract (English version) Kepler-68 is a G1V old main sequence star known to host two transiting planets and a non-transiting one. With a magnitude in the Kepler band of 10.00 it is a suitable target for RVs follow ups and spectroscopic analysis. It is also part of the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) that contains very precise coordinates and parallax. It is a low-activity star, both from the photometric and spectroscopic point of view. The two transiting planets are named Kepler-68 b and Kepler-68 c. They have a short-period orbit around the host star of about 5.4 days and 9.6 days respectively and they are likely to be rocky Earths or super-Earths (~2.3 REarth and ~1 REarth respectively). The non-transiting planet, named Kepler-68 d, has a period of about 630 days and, even if the radius is not known, it is likely to be a Jupiter analog, as its minimum mass is around 0.77 MJupiter. In this work, we aim to study again and more deeply this system both from the photometric and spectroscopic point of view. The full Kepler light curve study with updated algorithms together with a new and thorough analysis of the stellar physical parameters led to a significant improvement in the planetary parameters determination. Thanks to new radial velocity data collected by the HARPS-N instrument at Telescopio Nazionale Galileo for this project, it was possible to increase the precision on the physical parameters also from the RV point of view. Together with the already existing public data from HIRES@Keck, we built an RV dataset with a temporal baseline longer than 11 years. Taking advantage of the new data, it was possible to infer the presence of a fourth brand new planet that turned out to have a period of about 1550 days and a minimum mass of ~0.133 MJupiter. The name of Kepler-68 e has been given to this new planet. In addition we used the new TESS data to study, for the first time, possible transit time variations (TTVs) using ephemerides built on Kepler data. Based on our analysis, no long term TTVs are found. We conclude with the determination of the density of planets b and c and their location on the Radius-Mass diagram, with Kepler-68 b being one of the planets with the most precise density measurement among the mini-Neptunes. Moreover, a brief discussion on the possible migration paths of the planets is addressed. All considered, this study constitutes the deepest and most updated study of the Kepler68 planetary system, that is still far from being fully characterized and represents an amenable target for future photometric and spectroscopic measurements. Abstract (versione italiana) Kepler-68 è una vecchia stella di sequenza principale di classe spettrale G1V conosciuta per ospitare due pianeti transitanti e uno non transitante. Avendo una magnitudine di 10,00 nella banda fotometrica di Kepler, la stella è un obiettivo abbordabile per ulteriori osservazioni con le velocità radiali e per analisi spettroscopiche. Essa fa anche parte della Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3), la quale contiene misure molto precise delle sue coordinate e della sua parallasse. È una stella che mostra bassa attività, sia dal punto di vista fotometrico sia spettroscopico. I due pianeti transitanti sono chiamati Kepler-68 b e Kepler-68 c. Hanno un'orbita a corto periodo attorno alla stella ospitante di circa 5,4 giorni e 9,6 giorni rispettivamente ed è probabile che essi siano pianeti analoghi alla Terra o superTerre (~2,3 RTerra e ~1 RTerra rispettivamente). Il pianeta non transitante, chiamato Kepler-68 d, ha un periodo di circa 630 giorni e, anche se il raggio non è noto, è probabile che si tratti di un pianeta di tipo Gioviano dato che la sua massa minima si aggira intorno a 0,77 MGiove. In questo lavoro, il nostro obiettivo è di studiare ancora e più accuratamente questo sistema sia dal punto di vista fotometrico che spettroscopico. Lo studio dell'intera curva di luce di Kepler, usando i più moderni algoritmi, insieme ad una nuova e più accurata analisi dei parametri fisici della stella, ha portato ad un significativo miglioramento dei parametri planetari. Grazie alle nuove velocità radiali collezionate dallo strumento HARPS-N presso il Telescopio Nazionale Galileo specificatamente per questo progetto, è stato possibile incrementare la precisione anche dei parametri fisici derivati da esse. Insieme ai dati pubblici preesistenti di HIRES@Keck, siamo stati in grado di costruire un dataset con una lunghezza temporale di più di 11 anni. Grazie all'utilizzo dei nuovi dati è stato possibile inferire la presenza di un quarto nuovo pianeta che si è rivelato avere un periodo di circa 1550 giorni e una massa minima di circa ~0,133 MGiove. A questo nuovo pianeta è stato dato il nome di Kepler-68 e. Oltre a ciò abbiamo usato i dati provenienti da TESS per studiare, per la prima volta, possibili variazioni del tempo di transito usando le effemeridi costruite sui dati di Kepler. In base alla nostra analisi, non sono state trovate variazioni dei tempi di transito sul lungo termine. Concludiamo con la determinazione della densità dei pianeti b e c e la loro posizione sul diagramma Raggio-Massa, sottolineando che Kepler-68 b è uno dei pianeti con la densità misurata più precisamente tra i mini-Nettuno. Inoltre, riportiamo una breve discussione sui possibili percorsi di migrazione seguiti dai pianeti. Alla luce di quanto esposto, questo lavoro costituisce il più profondo e aggiornato studio del sistema planetario Kepler-68, che è ancora ben lontano dall'essere completamente caratterizzato e rappresenta un obiettivo interessante per future osservazioni sia fotometriche che spettroscopiche

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT AGILE METHODOLOGIES AND FIT ASSESSMENT IN AN INDUSTRIAL CONTEXT

The paper collects together and describes the main and most known Agile methodologies. Those methodologies are then compared in order to assess their fit in the context of highly innovative non-software companies. In particular, the focus is on a full system supplier for food processing and packaging equipment, packaging material and services. The fit between the Agile methodologies and the company is performed considering the innovation and development processes in place into the Research and Development department of the company itself. By doing so the paper aims at contributing to the theme of Agile application in non-software industries. Moreover, it will support in the choice of which method or framework suits better having clear the needs and characteristics of that specific context. Finally, the paper provides also a suggestion about how to approach this kind of choices

Model Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) dalam Penentuan Strategi Pemilihan Lokasi Mata Air untuk Pembangunan Infrastruktur Irigasi di Kota Batu

Potensi mata air di Kota Batu yang digunakan sebagai sumber air irigasi secara keseluruhan belum memiliki infrastruktur irigasi sehingga perlu adanya pengembangan mata air. Pengembangan dilakukan dengan melakukan pembangunan infrastruktur irigasi. Mata air sejumlah 15 lokasi diidentifikasi berdasarkan aspek dari parameter yang meliputi kuantitas, kualitas, kontinuitas, dan jarak. Aspek parameter-parameter yang diidentifikasi digunakan sebagai pedoman dalam pemilihan lokasi mata air yang akan dibangun infrastruktur irigasi. Pemilihan lokasi mata air yang akan dibangun infrastruktur irigasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan Metode Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Metode AHP digunakan untuk menentukan nilai bobot dari setiap parameter dan alternatif. Berdasarkan nilai bobot dari setiap parameter dan alternatif kemudian dilakukan tahapan Sintesis Model AHP. Hasil dari sintesis menunjukkan bahwa dari ke-15 mata air nilai prioritas tertinggi berada di MA-15 (Mata Air Rembyung) dengan nilai 0,119. Hasil dari pemodelan AHP ini yang berupa nilai skala prioritas dapat digunakan dalam penentuan mata air yang akan dikembangkan terlebih dahulu
