(Un)threading Rhythms: On Affect and Vibe in a Rave

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Toronto, raves arise across large nightclubs, DIY venues and outdoors, despite changing regulations that have further arranged and narrowed their possibility in the past 4 years. Following a rave in Toronto, this work explores ways that potentialities and affects emerge in a single night, through my entry of taking part in dancing and ...

Age Readings and Assessment in Coastal Batoid Elasmobranchs from Small-Scale Size-Selective Fishery: The Importance of Data Comparability in Multi-Specific Assemblages

Diversity
The large variation in vertebral shape and calcification observed among elasmobranch species prevents using a single method for enhancing growth bands and reading age.

MotionPyramid: Controllable Motion Synthesis via Stylized Phase Manifolds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce stylized phase manifolds—a compact, interpretable latent representation that disentangles motion content (e.g. “jumping”, “walking”), the temporal structure (e.g. motion cycle frequency, gait timing), and style (i.e. how the motion is performed). Learned in an unsupervised manner and inherently low‐dimensional, the manifold offers

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

DNA Barcoding Southwestern Atlantic Skates: A 20-Year Effort in Building a Species Identification Library

Diversity
The skate fauna in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWA; 34–55° S) is represented by ~32 species, many of which share external features that have led to misidentifications and deficient fishery statistics.

Push-off mechanics in speed skating with conventional skates and klapskates [PDF]

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2000
Personal and world records in speed skating improved tremendously after the introduction of the klapskate, which allows the foot to plantar flex at the end of the push-off while the full blade continues to glide on the ice. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the differences in skating technique with conventional versus klapskates and to

DNA barcoding unveils skate (Chondrichthyes: Rajidae) species diversity in ‘ray’ products sold across Ireland and the UK [PDF]

PeerJ, 2013
Skates are widely consumed across the globe, but many large species are subject to considerable concern regarding their conservation and management. Within Europe such issues have recently driven policy changes so that, for the first time, reports of ...

Which Decolonization? Theorizing Decolonization beyond Decoloniality and its Critics

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The debate on decolonial thought has reached an unhelpful stalemate. A core problem in assessing decolonial thought is that the term ‘decolonization’ has been stretched so widely that it now allows for many competing uses. For some critics of decolonial thought such as Nigerian philosopher Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò, this overuse points to conceptual ...

Integrability and Chaos in Figure Skating [PDF]

Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2019
We derive and analyze a three dimensional model of a figure skater. We model the skater as a three-dimensional body moving in space subject to a non-holonomic constraint enforcing movement along the skate's direction and holonomic constraints of continuous contact with ice and pitch constancy of the skate. For a static (non-articulated) skater, we show
