impact of foreshock transients on nearearth space

this project addresses major open questions in plasma physics the dynamics of collisionless shocks their impact on the downstream medium and particle acceleration collisionless shocks are powerful particle accelerators ubiquitous in astrophysical plasmas recent works suggest that the dynamics of the shock precursor or foreshock contributes greatly to shock acceleration here we use nearearth space as a natural laboratory to quantify the impact of transient kinetic structures forming in the foreshock these foreshock transients are particularly intriguing because in addition to contributing to acceleration at the shock itself they impact geospace as a whole in driving swift intense wave storms in earths magnetosphere in this proposal i present recent data revealing that these waves accelerate energetic electrons in earths radiation belts connecting for the first time the dynamics of two major acceleration sites at earth this issue has never been explored because of considerable challenges multipoint in situ observations and global kinetic simulations are needed to unravel the complex processes at work the wavestorms project makes full use of recent advances on both of these fronts to resolve the impact of foreshock transients on nearearth space in a holistic manner using a flagship kinetic model of the global magnetosphere and highfidelity space and groundbased measurements we will 1 fully characterise their interaction with the shock and their contribution to shock acceleration 2 quantify the radiation belt response acceleration and losses 3 connect our findings to the solar wind context to finally 4 quantify their global impact on nearearth space my expertise in foreshock physics and in combining multimission data and cuttingedge simulations puts me in a unique position to lead this project our results will constitute a breakthrough in our understanding of nearearth space dynamics and particle acceleration in general
manufacturing process for biobased fibrereinforced composite parts for structural applications

currently the use of biocomposites is limited to less critical applications that do not have significant requirements in terms of mechanical performance however the use of synthetic composites made from carbon or glass fibre has several difficulties in terms recycling and in terms of dependence on third countries about 98 of these synthetic composites still end up in landfills and about 80 of the raw materials are currently manufactured outside of europe to improve this situation the project addresses the challenges of using biocomposites for structural parts and aims to increase the range of applications in which biocomposites can be used this will be achieved by developing an accurate draping process to control fibre orientation by creating material models that capture the natural variability of the material and by integrating nanostructured biobased sensors for load monitoring through the increased accuracy and additional control loops in the manufacturing process the consortium expects to achieve predictable properties and constant qualitywithin the project use cases from wind energy and boatbuilding will be investigated aiming at the manufacturing of a full size rotor blade and a ship hull to demonstrate the technical feasibility and achieving trl7 for the manufacturing technologies in addition to the end users the consortium consists of partners from automation machine building measurement technology material manufacturing and simulation software to cover all aspects of the developments based on the predicted growth of the biocomposites market which is expected to increase by a factor of 25 by 2030 the consortium expects a market potential of about 100m by 2030
iraqi cinema beyond the screen

in the beginning of the 20th century iraqi cities and urban environments changed and new public spheres and forms of workand leisure emerged new neighborhoods and institutions cafs and theaters changed the structure of urban life in theprocess modern leisure and entertainment began moving from the private realm into the public and increasingly came to beorganized on a commercial scale one index of these changes was cinema which arrived in iraq in the early 20th centuryand quickly became a highly popular form of entertainment a modern and global rather than a specifically iraqidevelopment the emergence of cinema in iraq can be seen as a local inflexion of a global phenomenon situated at thecrossroads of egyptian indian european and american film production cinema in iraqi sheds light on the transnationalqualities of early cinema in iraq itself but also in the many areas across the globe where national cinema only emergedbelatedly yet the development of the specific culture of cinema so significant in the history of iraq as well as in the field ofcinema studies and nonwestern cinema has received scarce attention my project undertakes this fresh subjectinterrogating the transnational circulation of cultural products and material objects including films and technology andexploring how they came together at a particular historical moment with capital performers and people with technical skillsto establish cinema as a form of leisure in iraq studying the emergence of cinema in iraq through an approach that attendsto cinemas material and transnational histories and contexts can enhance our understanding not just of iraq and its manyentangled networks connections and histories but also of early cinema outside of the global centers of gravity finally tecishows how the intersection of capital public space and popular entertainment lays open both the possibilities tensions andconflicts that developed in 20th century iraq
revealing enhancerderived rna erna transcriptome erna processing and biogenesis during neuronal stimuliactivated transcription

enhancers are short distal cisregulatory dna regions that drive expression of a gene however enhancers do not function exclusively as dna entities activated enhancers are transcribed by rna polymerase ii rnapii which produces enhancerderived rnas ernas production of erna creates additional transregulatory mechanisms facilitated by dnarna rnarna or proteinrna interactions due to ernas fast degradation rates and lack of robust and standardized sequencing methods reports about the molecular nature of erna molecules and their processing are conflicting making mechanisms of gene regulation by erna controversial even less is known about co and posttranscriptional processing of erna this project aims to overcome the controversy and fill the knowledge gap by studying a welldefined experimental system cultured rat cortical neurons and activation of immediateearly gene ieg response perturbing the core erna endonuclease and combining this with ernatailored sequencing computational and biochemical methods the developed integrative approach will reveal molecular features of erna molecules and their precursors genomewide opening the opportunity to study erna biogenesis to further understand molecular mechanisms behind the ernamediated gene regulation
adolescent autocracies progovernment student groups in resurgent authoritarian regimes

democracy in retreat was the 2019 title of the freedomhouse index which ascertained 13 consecutive years of a global decline in political rights and civil liberties from 2005 to 2018 the report foregrounds the alarming erosion of longstanding democracies and those part of democracys third wave which began in the 1970s in southern europe followed by countries in latin america and east asia and culminated in the dramatic regime breakdowns initiated by democratic reforms in centraleastern europe soviet union south asia and subsaharan africa a period that has inspired scholars to deliberate the idea of democracy representing the ultimate end of a countrys political development or even the end of history itself this period of democratization was initially lauded as a linear set sequence which would eventually encompass the globe from the early 21st century on however a new generation of scholars has been describing a reverse wave of regime changes diamond 2015

the mathematics of interacting fermions

the quantum manybody problem presents us with a baffling variety of phenomena whose mathematical understanding is just leaving infancy one of the most prominent examples is the behavior of electrons in condensed matter surprisingly despite the presence of strong interactions between particles in the microscopic schroedinger equation on a macroscopic level one observes almost noninteracting particles moreover some properties even turn out to be universal ie do not depend on the details of the microscopic equation at all fermi liquid theory has been phenomenologically developed as an emergent theory to describe these correlation effects in systems of interacting fermionic particles the first goal of this project is a rigorous derivation of fermi liquid theory from the schroedinger equation my approach will be based on the analysis of highdensity scaling limits while the analysis of scaling limits has been tremendously successful in the last years for bosonic systems in fermionic systems it has been restricted to the derivation of meanfield theories recently i have developed an approximate bosonization for threedimensional systems which can be rigorously applied in highdensity scaling limits this is one of the few tools that permit an analysis beyond meanfield theory enabling us now to describe correlations without relying on perturbation theory the second goal is to show that onedimensional systems can be analyzed similarly but display a very different behavior called luttinger liquid demonstrating that the approach allows to distinguish fermi from nonfermi liquids thus i will not only provide a unified justification of the noninteracting electron approximation in two and more dimensions but also pave a new way to and partially resolve the classification problem of the fermionic phase diagram
the neural basis of dynamic territorial aggression and fear

the urge to defend ones territory is an evolutionarily conserved instinct aimed at securing optimal access to food mates and shelter conflict arises when territories become unstable due to seasonal changes in resource availability or when population density increases under such conditions individuals must carefully balance social aggression and avoidance to maximize their control of territorial resources while avoiding subordination at the hands of their neighbors what is the neural basis of such dynamic territorial behaviors we have found that an evolutionarily conserved medial hypothalamic brain structure serves as a switch between social aggression and avoidance in this proposal we ask where and how is territory encoded in the brain and how could it control this hypothalamic switch a clue emerges from recent work in which we discovered that neural activity in this structure encodes a map of social space much like the mammalian hippocampus encodes a map of navigational space however unlike hippocampal place cells that arise spontaneously as animals explore hypothalamic territory cells require social experience to form we will develop a seminatural laboratory testing environment where we can monitor the dynamic acquisition of territories in mice over time and apply in vivo neural recording activity perturbation and computational modelling to extract precise synaptic integration and plasticity mechanisms that underlie territorybased decisionmaking in the mammalian brain uncovering the neural basis of territorial behaviors is an essential step toward a biological understanding of human aggression and fear and could provide insight into interventions for maladaptive responses to threats to personal space resources and beliefs
