Whatever the dreams do, may the constant bodily keeping involving us now within the waking coincidence maintain us nearby, while we and all who have held tight relax to sleep, and through these hours, difficult to remember, when death will undo each double helix and comb the loose strands, like the sea. FUTURITY Numeral round to numeral round- &-round our sundial ants tug time. Tiny harnesses of light. At night at various variances the stars & moon hitch up the Four Snails of the Apocalypse, but you-- for you, little jockey, I slide up & buckle the two purple stirrups you’ll perch to break the gate & hurl out fluttering silks (o my favorite!) onto urgency’s whipping track: already latterdays’ lost tuck the far turn in a shuffle of dust. MOTHERS' DAY Willynilly, mama's cottoncandy baby boy, floss flesh spins on a spine & just now such a sourpuss, do fuss less, yes? Dreambasket & bobbling to uppity whitecapped & lilypaddled lake traffic lilting off from loon to leggy heron & back to a skit of raccoon, mama's puttering one of her annual half-past two o'clock picnics luckily you'll settle to nap through just as I now nuzzle you to for my pretty refreshment's sake at the nick of my visitor, vinegar mother of mine seeped up exactly on time from her puckering grave. She'll linger; I'll primp her wisps again. We'll sip wine. GAMMA EGG ON MEMORIAL DAY Take me for a floribunda-headed tuft! The hat’s a formality one unsupervised mirror, knowing no better, picked out for me; alas, rash millinery, but might’ve turned me out even more unbecomingly among the cemetery decor, half plastic & spattered, the whole famdamnily outing indignant over its hour-&-a- half already behind a schedule. Thanks to me, also, refreshments I promised & made & mustn’t I know I set right here, it was checkered linen in russet wicker. Private graces: I bless to such grandbabies as these of mine & worldwide the paradisiacal islands of the pancreas & all the kindly endocrines, whose penitential cells seep, sweet, even in sleep careless sleep & likewise all the waking hours I keep love at it, lub-dub. The heart unskilled like a fist, squishing the love along to distribute among the subtlest capillaries to nourish cell bulbs originating the grandbabies’ eyelashes, even. Why do you live with us, Gamma Egg? You know, I was off on a way, the way, my own, the one I like to get, the one you always seem to, & just then because of the exprovising implosive devices, the loving astray. MYSTERY PACKAGE You get it-- right now-- surprise! Peel up the blue sky apparent at the bottom of a pavement puddle & there appears your career in outer space. Or, when you crank open their can, the worms’ delighted expressions. World without end or means: swept up, & the museum of dark matter closed, as if merely for renovations. Map- dancing bees circumvent the rotunda & zag away to their hexagon complex, experts as to locality, as if lost souls’ applause compelled them encore home. Unpack your basket. Wrapped in someone’s houndstooth-checkered- past napkin, the nasty booby-trapping war that shook over your son returns him. HEARSE after William Blake Oops, hit the skid rind, cruel world slipped a corkscrewy peel of it’s-about-time. Spirits high, royalty flung itself wide open upon its own unhinges & by a splinter of chance that night I rose, my first foot received into a golden glassyeyed slingback pump, slick as princeling himself & the moon by its half & half- again measures recalculating what brass tarnish or shine he & his might take to me & mine. Heels, toes, how didn’t both poor stepsisters flail tipsy & lose their balances, bloody-shod & blind! Remember the cornfield listening?-- nick of the worm in the rolypoly pumpkin’s undercarriage? Sooner or later a watched wedding boils. PRECIPITATIONS 1. Maple branches hauled the clogged snow fourteen miles away, seventeen miles return to shrug more of the same snow off onto the porch steps. The steps tiptoed around the downspout corner to where the lilac to this day doesn’t recall. Try to compel it, it won’t. Seems I can’t distinguish an upending of grief from its lowdowning. 2. Refrain, bass thump I worked up from underneath & into a neighboring dog’s whine, scours my ears. April: already a week’s leftover clouds spoil in the sink & the sky wrings its rag of sour rain ping-ping down into a speckled pan on the ground. The other pan, shiny one I could see a face in, scorched-- as Sir Armadillo, knight in armor, rusts, husk of himself, steel wool argyle vest I knitted him into. 3. Unexpectedly clad as hail, surprise, it’s you! --rare one, outlandish, hippity hopping-mad in the dooryard, ridiculous momentary tantrum, all the peonies battered flat & then in exhaustion you break into silly sunburst & rainbow, innocent crunch of you underfoot, sobbing & soon led off in plastic fisticuffs. My desk planner enters, for tomorrow, Not today! & lists in logical order aspects of a complicated errand. 4. Months’ drudgery turning over & inside- & rightside- out leaf after leaf, but tonight I rustle out gorgeous: supermodel the runway queen in strut, cocked neck snapping a tangled curl across my sneer, svelte all the way home in chilly gooseflesh stomping poppop-zip through the last clutch of photographers. Season’s sensation: ballooning midnight-blueblack gown, its quick switches & tucks of fog, a la mode, all the rage. OLFACTORY CUES That’ll be that bum raccoon pair now, rumble my dumpster! All-hours backwoods masque, Soldier-of- Fortune loves Prima Donna for the little ways her fingers do fishheads & for the inquisition she permits her tongue. For my part, I pick over best in speckled foxgloves: see my ad in Odds- ‘n’-Ends, apparent weekly starting next best vexed issue. Take, for my own good, care. Sniff what mustier yet bouquet foments: this morning’s oeuvre stars me fumigating in flying colors such lingerie, table linens & lingering sheets as string along the patio, even as in aerosol I next brush up my static-blue bouffant, incorporating what flattering lights these rosy windows glance off mirrors even as I miss my image in them terribly. Did I mean to revisit romantic indiscretion, the spiced bower? Trellis, sundial, trippingly the ardent letter stashed ashen under the (which one?) flagstone? Today the day & this the very stricken hour I’m positive we set? More mere animal racket, though, & persistent stink: varmints taking liberties upon my (I admit it) riches of embarrassment, hot toxics of carnal conversation. Love of my life, I ramble on. Soupcon in the air of a ghost some orderly somewhere unwinds out of old gauze bagged in biohazard. I remember my lips swelled & bled. Bruised over the pelvis, I staggered. I could fuck a stone-cold stone rock, I thought, if it were he, if he pressed his nostrils into me. TROTH As surely as eleven Eastern gray squirrels twirl twigs roundabout the parade grounds, I love you & lash my leaves too. Yay! until very God Herself appears slinky in sequins & in full diatribe roaring No way! will I assuredly love you. As yours-truly as new flotsam floats & fresh jetsam hurls upon high seas-swollen rollicking residue, I, too, crest in whitecaps of love among such two-by-twos as grapple one or another sloshed off of No’s foundering ark, & as verily I buzz as does the hive of hexagonized love that survives every flower to flatter & fatten its Queen of stings’ sweet dream. If I crouch latterly scratching a frosty window’s opaque fleurs- de-lys to elaborate love’s ill-gotten pains, if I’ve caught on to your quickstep just then double-crossing our spin-- why, I’ll be that liar luckily nobody listens to; I’ll be the nevermind-who, whose only love you’ll be nonetheless, poor irregardless you. HE RECOLLECTS HER FINERY I’d just about sweet-talked closing time into home-to-my-love when its very last moment stumbled clumsily upon, ah, the true me. O dear, o dear. Such-as-it-is was my sad shape. What sad hands must’ve dug the slick gray clay clods of me once from a drum? Slapped-on, then, & thumbing me through successive misdisfigurements, as against what innocent armature formerly tingling shyly to what high promise, witticism & incipient flesh tones? Look what the cat dragged in & drops & purrs to, sniffs it & seizes it up & trots on ahead, repeating at each threshold.

  • Robust Classification Method for Underwater Targets Using the Chaotic Features of the Flow Field
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Robust Classification Method for Underwater Targets Using the Chaotic Features of the Flow Field Xinghua Lin 1, Jianguo Wu 1,* and Qing Qin 2 1 School of Mechanical Engineering, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin 300401, China; [email protected] 2 China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd, Tianjin 300300, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 January 2020; Accepted: 10 February 2020; Published: 12 February 2020 Abstract: Fish can sense their surrounding environment by their lateral line system (LLS). In order to understand the extent to which information can be derived via LLS and to improve the adaptive ability of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), a novel strategy is presented, which directly uses the information of the flow field to distinguish the object obstacle. The flow fields around different targets are obtained by the numerical method, and the pressure signal on the virtual lateral line is studied based on the chaos theory and fast Fourier transform (FFT). The compounded parametric features, including the chaotic features (CF) and the power spectrum density (PSD), which is named CF-PSD, are used to recognize the kinds of obstacles. During the research of CF, the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), saturated correlation dimension (SCD), and Kolmogorov entropy (KE) are taken into account, and PSD features include the number, amplitude, and position of wave crests. A two-step support vector machine (SVM) is built and used to classify the shapes and incidence angles based on the CF-PSD. It is demonstrated that the flow fields around triangular and square targets are chaotic systems, and the new findings indicate that the object obstacle can be recognized directly based on the information of the flow field, and the consideration of a parametric feature extraction method (CF-PSD) results in considerably higher classification success.

  • Engineering the Quantum Foam
    Engineering the Quantum Foam Reginald T. Cahill School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences, Flinders University, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, Australia [email protected] _____________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In 1990 Alcubierre, within the General Relativity model for space-time, proposed a scenario for ‘warp drive’ faster than light travel, in which objects would achieve such speeds by actually being stationary within a bubble of space which itself was moving through space, the idea being that the speed of the bubble was not itself limited by the speed of light. However that scenario required exotic matter to stabilise the boundary of the bubble. Here that proposal is re-examined within the context of the new modelling of space in which space is a quantum system, viz a quantum foam, with on-going classicalisation. This model has lead to the resolution of a number of longstanding problems, including a dynamical explanation for the so-called `dark matter’ effect. It has also given the first evidence of quantum gravity effects, as experimental data has shown that a new dimensionless constant characterising the self-interaction of space is the fine structure constant. The studies here begin the task of examining to what extent the new spatial self-interaction dynamics can play a role in stabilising the boundary without exotic matter, and whether the boundary stabilisation dynamics can be engineered; this would amount to quantum gravity engineering. 1 Introduction The modelling of space within physics has been an enormously challenging task dating back in the modern era to Galileo, mainly because it has proven very difficult, both conceptually and experimentally, to get a ‘handle’ on the phenomenon of space.

  • Hyperbolic Prism, Poincaré Disc, and Foams
    Hyperbolic Prism, Poincaré Disc, and Foams 1 1 Alberto Tufaile , Adriana Pedrosa Biscaia Tufaile 1 Soft Matter Laboratory, Escola de Artes, Ciências e Humanidades, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. The hyperbolic prism is a transparent optical element with spherical polished surfaces that refracts and reflects the light, acting as an optical element of foam. Using the hyperbolic prism we can face the question: is there any self-similarity in foams due to light scattering? In order to answer this question, we have constructed two optical elements: the hyperbolic kaleidoscope and the hyperbolic prism. The key feature of the light scattering in such elements is that this phenomenon is chaotic. The propagation of light in foams creates patterns which are generated due to the reflection and refraction of light. One of these patterns is observed by the formation of multiple mirror images inside liquid bridges in a layer of bubbles in a Hele-Shaw cell. We have observed the existence of these patterns in foams and their relation with hyperbolic geometry using the Poincaré disc model. The images obtained from the experiment in foams are compared to the case of hyperbolic optical elements, and there is a fractal dimension associated with the light scattering which creates self-similar patterns Keywords: Hyperbolic Prism, Poincaré Disc, Foams, Kaleidoscope. 1 Introduction Physically based visualization of foams improves our knowledge of optical systems. As long as the light transport mechanisms for light scattering in foams are understood, some interesting patterns observed can be connected with some concepts involving hyperbolic geometry, and this study involves mainly the classical scattering of light in foams and geometrical optics.

  • Modelling and Simulation of Acoustic Absorption of Open Cell Metal Foams
    Modelling and Simulation of Acoustic Absorption of Open Cell Metal Foams Claudia Lautensack, Matthias Kabel Fraunhofer ITWM, Kaiserslautern Abstract We analyse the microstructure of an open nickel-chrome foam using computed tomography. The foam sample is modelled by a random Laguerre tessellation, i.e. a weighted Voronoi tessellation, which is fitted to the original structure by means of geometric characteristics estimated from the CT image. Using the Allard-Johnson model we simulate the acoustic absorption of the real foam and the model. Finally, simulations in models with a larger variation of the cell sizes yield first results for the dependence of acoustic properties on the geometric structure of open cell foams. 1. Introduction Open cell metal foams are versatile materials which are used in many application areas, e.g. as heat exchangers, catalysts or sound absorbers. The physical properties of a foam are highly affected by its microstructure, for instance the porosity or the specific surface area of the material or the size and shape of the foam cells. An understanding of the change of the foam’s properties with altering microstructure is crucial for the optimisation of foams for certain applications. Foam models from stochastic geometry are powerful tools for the investigation of these relations. Edge systems of random tessellations are often used as models for open foams. Geometric characteristics which are estimated from tomographic images of the foams are used for fitting the models to real data. Realisations of foams with slightly modified microstructure can then be generated by changing the model parameters. Numerical simulations in these virtual foam samples allow for an investigation of relations between the geometric structure of a material and its physical properties.

  • Low Rattling: a Predictive Principle for Self-Organization in Active Collectives

General principles describing self-organization away from equilibrium have been challenging to iden- tify. We offer a unifying framework that models the behavior of com- plex systems as largely random, while capturing their configuration- dependent response to external forcing. This allows derivation of a Boltzmann-like principle for understanding and manipulating driven self-organization. We validate our predictions experimentally in shape- changing robotic active matter, and outline a methodology for con- trolling collective behavior. Our findings highlight how emergent or- arXiv:2101.00683v1 [cond-mat.stat-mech] 3 Jan 2021 der depends sensitively on the matching between external patterns of forcing and internal dynamical response properties, pointing towards future approaches for design and control of active particle mixtures and metamaterials. 1 ACCEPTED VERSION: This is the author's version of the work.

  • Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio in Biology, Physics, Astrophysics, Chemistry and Technology: a Non-Exhaustive Review
    Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio in Biology, Physics, Astrophysics, Chemistry and Technology: A Non-Exhaustive Review Vladimir Pletser Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China; [email protected] Abstract Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio can be found in nearly all domains of Science, appearing when self-organization processes are at play and/or expressing minimum energy configurations. Several non-exhaustive examples are given in biology (natural and artificial phyllotaxis, genetic code and DNA), physics (hydrogen bonds, chaos, superconductivity), astrophysics (pulsating stars, black holes), chemistry (quasicrystals, protein AB models), and technology (tribology, resistors, quantum computing, quantum phase transitions, photonics). Keywords Fibonacci numbers; Golden ratio; Phyllotaxis; DNA; Hydrogen bonds; Chaos; Superconductivity; Pulsating stars; Black holes; Quasicrystals; Protein AB models; Tribology; Resistors; Quantum computing; Quantum phase transitions; Photonics 1. Introduction Fibonacci numbers with 1 and 1 and the golden ratio φlim → √ 1.618 … can be found in nearly all domains of Science appearing when self-organization processes are at play and/or expressing minimum energy configurations. Several, but by far non- exhaustive, examples are given in biology, physics, astrophysics, chemistry and technology. 2. Biology 2.1 Natural and artificial phyllotaxis Several authors (see e.g. Onderdonk, 1970; Mitchison, 1977, and references therein) described the phyllotaxis arrangement of leaves on plant stems in such a way that the overall vertical configuration of leaves is optimized to receive rain water, sunshine and air, according to a golden angle function of Fibonacci numbers. However, this view is not uniformly accepted (see Coxeter, 1961). N. Rivier and his collaborators (2016) modelized natural phyllotaxis by the tiling by Voronoi cells of spiral lattices formed by points placed regularly on a generative spiral.

  • A Piece of History
    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.
