Babette\u27s Feast: The Persistence of Love
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay\u27s first paragraph.
After one\u27s first viewing of Babette\u27s Feast, a film by Gabriel Axel, one may easily think that the main point of the film revolves around interpretation of religion and food. Although these certainly are two major aspects, I personally found that in many ways, love and the way it persists through time is a major feature of the movie as well. Thanks to Axel, the movie can be viewed through the lends of love, and as the plot unfolds, it becomes more obvious that the persistence of love is a point Axel wanted to send to his audience
Search for QCD-instantons at HERA
Signals of QCD instanton induced processes are searched for in deep-inelastic
ep scattering at HERA in a kinematic region defined by the Bjorken scaling
variables x>0.001, 0.1156
degrees. Upper limits are derived from the expected instanton-induced final
state properties based on the QCDINS Monte Carlo model.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures, World Scientific Doc. class (included); For the

Genuine Correlations in Hadronic Z Decays
Correlations among hadrons with the same electric charge produced in Z
decays are studied using the high statistics data collected from 1991 through
1995 with the OPAL detector at LEP. Normalized factorial cumulants up to fourth
order are used to measure genuine pa rticle correlations as a function of the
size of phase space domains in rapidity, azimuthal angle and transverse
momentum. tein correlations. Some of the recently proposed algorithms to
simulate Bose-Einstein effects, implemented in the Monte Carlo model \PYTHIA,
reproduce reasonably well the me asured second- and higher-order correlations
between particles with the same charge as well as those in all-charge particle
multiplets.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures (in ps), talk given at XXXI International

Calibration update of the COMBO-17 CDFS catalogue
We present an update to the photometric calibration of the COMBO-17 catalogue
on the Extended Chandra Deep Field South, which is now consistent with the
GaBoDS and MUSYC catalogues. As a result, photometric redshifts become slightly
more accurate, with <0.01 rms and little bias in the delta_z/(1+z) of galaxies
with R<21 and of QSOs with R<24. With increasing photon noise the rms of
galaxies reaches 0.02 for R<23 and 0.035 at R~23.5. Consequences for the
rest-frame colours of galaxies at z<1 are discussed.Comment: A&A research note, resubmitted 02 Oct 2008, 4 pages in print forma
MalLo March: A Live Sonified Performance With User Interaction
Presented at the 22nd International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD-2016)In this extended abstract we present a new performance piece titled MalLo March that uses MalLo, a predictive percussion instrument, to allow for real-time sonification of live performers. The piece consists of two movements where in the first movement audience members will use a web application and headphones to listen to a sonification of MalLo instruments as they are played live on stage. During the second movement each audience member will use an interface in the web app to design their own sonification of the instruments to create a personalized version of the performance. We present an overview of the hardware and interaction design, highlighting various listening modes that provide audience members with different levels of control in designing the sonification of the live performers
Spectral Dependence of Polarized Radiation due to Spatial Correlations
We study the polarization of light emitted by spatially correlated sources.
We show that in general polarization acquires nontrivial spectral dependence
due to spatial correlations. The spectral dependence is found to be absent only
for a special class of sources where the correlation length scales as the
wavelength of light. We further study the cross correlations between two
spatially distinct points that are generated due to propagation. It is found
that such cross correlation leads to sufficiently strong spectral dependence of
polarization which can be measured experimentally.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
