Tame geometry and transcendence in hodge theory

Hodge theory, as developed by Deligne and Griffiths, is the main tool for analyzing the geometry and arithmetic of complex algebraic varieties, that is, solution sets of algebraic equations over the complex numbers. It occupies a central position in mathematics through its relations to differential geometry, algebraic geometry, differential equations and number theory. It is an essential fact that at heart, Hodge theory is NOT algebraic. On the other hand, some of the deepest conjectures in mathematics (the Hodge conjecture and the Grothendieck period conjecture) suggest that this transcendence is severely constrained.

Recent work of myself and others suggests that tame geometry, whose idea was introduced by Grothendieck in the 1980s, is the natural setting for understanding these constraints. Tame geometry, developed by model-theorist as o-minimal geometry, has for prototype real semi-algebraic geometry, but is much richer. As a spectacular application of tame geometry, Bakker, Tsimerman and I recently reproved a famous result of Cattani-Deligne-Kaplan, often considered as the most serious evidence for the Hodge conjecture: the algebraicity of Hodge loci.

I propose to lead a group at HU Berlin to explore this striking new connection between tame geometry and Hodge theory, with three axes: (I) attack the arithmetic of periods coming from the moduli space of abelian differentials; this opens a completely new perspective on this space cherished by dynamicists; (II) attack some fundamental questions for general variations of Hodge structures: fields of definition of Hodge loci (related to the conjecture that Hodge classes are absolute Hodge classes); atypical intersections, for instance for families of Calabi- Yau varieties; Ax-Schanuel conjecture for mixed period maps and for Hodge bundles;  (III) attack Simpson’s « Standard conjecture » for local systems through the tame geometry of the non-abelian Hodge correspondence.
FLUID SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING FLUID LOSSES DURING HYDROCARBON RECOVERY OPERATIONS

Système hydraulique mettant en application la taille de particules calibrées de carbonate de calcium (CaCO3) et un lignosulfonate modifié. Facultativement, un polymètre thixotropique, tel qu'une gomme de welan ou de xanthum est utilisé pour maintenir en suspension le CaCO3 et le lignosulfonate. Il est important que les dimensions des particules de CaCO3 soient réparties selon une vaste gamme, pour prévenir avec efficacité la filtration ou la perte de fluide dans la formation. En outre, le lignosulfonate doit être polymérisé dans une mesure suffisante pour abaisser sa solubilité à l'eau. Le lignosulfonate modifié (sulfonate de lignine) est nécessaire à la formation d'un gâteau de sédiments principalement à la surface du puits de forage. Etant donné que les particules de ce gâteau de sédiments n'envahissent pas le puits de forage grâce à l'action du lignosulfonate modifié, lors de l'enlèvement du gâteau de sédiments, il ne se produit aucune hausse de pression qui indiquerait un endommagement de la formation et de la surface du puits de forage, réduisant de manière caractéristique la perméabilité générale de la formation. Les qualités rhéologiques de ce fluide permettent de l'employer dans un grand nombre d'applications où l'on souhaite obtenir une protection de la formation perméable d'origine. Ces applications comprennent, de manière non limitative, la fracturation de forage et la maîtrise des pertes de fluide au cours des opérations d'achèvement telles que le bourrage au granulat ou le reconditionnement des puits.

Creation of long-term business strategies and Export Development Plans for DSS OPERATOR ACTION COMPANY and Jakub Stepasiuk based on international activities in order to increase profitability and gain a long-term competitive advantage of companies.

DSS Operator is a company responsible for the management, maintenance and expansion of the Lower Silesia Broadband Network (DSS). DSS operator is a company that creates access networks for Local Governments and Telecommunication Operators, so that entities can offer their services to destination users located in areas where the availability of telecommunications services is limited or needs to be upgraded. In detail, the Lower Silesia Broadband Network is a fibre-optic network built under the auspices of the Marshal’s Office in the Lower Silesian Voivodship with the use of European Union aid funds, as part of the project “Liquidation of information exclusion areas and construction of the Lower Silesia backbone network”. Modern network, operator-class equipment and a competent and experienced team of employees are the strongest part of the DSS Operator, which translates into high guaranteed quality of services (SLA), especially appreciated by customers. DSS OPERATOR S.A. was founded from the transformation of FONDLAR Spółka z o.o., a company with extensive experience created by a team of professionals working in the telecommunications industry for many years (mainly commercial telecommunication operators in teams, where actions aimed at customer needs were the most important goal). The company bases its activities on signed civil-legal agreements and cooperation agreements – currently the entity does not employ employees on the basis of employment contracts. As a result, it has the opportunity to cooperate with outstanding specialists and experts in the field. Since 2013 the company has been operating under the name FONDLAR Sp. z o.o., in September 2016 it changed its name to DSS Operator S.A. and since then the company has concluded 30 Framework Agreements and more than 30 Detail Agreements concerning approx. 60 wholesale services. Telecommunications entrepreneurs, who at first carefully tested the service capabilities of the DSS, are now signing a circle
Meeting the Challenges of Transdisciplinary Knowledge Production for Sustainable Water Governance

Increasing pressure on mountain water resources is making it necessary to address water governance issues in a transdisciplinary way. This entails drawing on different disciplinary perspectives, different types of knowledge, and different interests to answer complex governance questions. This study identifies strategies for addressing specific challenges to transdisciplinary knowledge production aiming at sustainable and reflective water governance. The study draws on the experiences of 5 large transdisciplinary water governance research projects conducted in Austria and Switzerland (Alp-Water-Scarce, MontanAqua, Drought-CH, Sustainable Water Infrastructure Planning, and an integrative river management project in the Kamp Valley). Experiences were discussed and systematically analyzed in a workshop and subsequent interviews. These discussions identified 4 important challenges to interactions between scientists and stakeholders—ensuring stakeholder legitimacy, encouraging participation, managing expectations, and preventing misuse of data and research results—and explored strategies used by the projects to meet them. Strategies ranged from key points to be considered in stakeholder selection to measures that enhance trustful relationships and create commitment.
FDI, Export, and Capital Structure

This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and export on capital structure for firms in emerging economies. The hypotheses are developed based on an agency theory perspective and are tested using a sample of 566 Taiwanese firms. We find that the behavior of multinational corporations (MNCs) with a high debt ratio is in line with agency theory predictions.


Our findings show that: (1) MNCs in emerging economies, defined as those firms with at least one foreign subsidiary or some extent of FDI, have a higher level of debt than non-MNCs, which contrasts with the findings for MNCs based in developed countries; and (2) export intensity leads to a lower debt ratio, which has not received much attention in previous studies. We propose several factors related to the context of emerging economies to explain these contradictory findings.


We also explore the interaction effect of the extent of FDI and export intensity on the capital structure of MNCs, and find that the impact is negative, which implies that both monitoring costs and agency costs rise dramatically for creditors when firms’ international operations become overly complicated.
The caliper project: linking research and innovation for gender equality

The CALIPER project aims at driving a structural change process and implementing Gender Equality Plans in 7 Research Performing and 2 Research Funding organizations, involving the highest and middle management levels since the beginning to impact the whole institution. The project goal is to make research organizations more gender equal by increasing the number of female researchers in STEM, improving their careers prospects and integrating a gender dimension in research. CALIPER is featured by a broad geographic focus and an innovative approach based on engaging national and regional innovation ecosystems in the partners’ countries with a quadruple helix approach: the project will trigger and make internal changes and gender equality policies sustainable by orchestrating the core inward auditing/internal assessment and GEPs design with outward actions engaging external stakeholders to activate synergies at all different junctions of the ‘education-research- transfer to market of STEM research results’ chain. CALIPER will adopt an intersectional approach to gender equality issues, paying attention to the ways gender inequalities are linked to and intersected with other discriminations. CALIPER will ensure its successful implementation by adopting a holistic methodology featured by capacity building support to build and sustain internal gender knowledge and expertise, mutual learning among partners, a participatory co-design of GEPs as well as 2 iteration levels for implementing and refining GEPs and a thorough monitoring and evaluation mechanism, leading to durable institutional changes. Thanks to the presence of a pan- European Professional association in the consortium and further dissemination actions such as the Caliper Charter and Code and awareness raising sessions on gender in research open to external stakeholders and other RPOs/RFOs , Caliper results have strong potentials to be multiplied both nationally and in other EU28 countries.
Tratamento ortodôntico do sorriso gengival utilizando-se mini-implantes (Parte I): tratamento do crescimento vertical do complexo dentoalveolar anterossuperior

Orthodontic mini-implants have revolutionized orthodontic anchorage and biomechanics by making anchorage perfectly stable. In this Part I, ‘gummy smile’ was defined and classified according to the etiologies. Among them, dentoalveolar type, a good indication of mini-implant treatment, was divided into three categories: (1) Cases with vertical growth of upper anterior dentoalveolar complex (Cases 1, 2, and 3), (2) Cases with protrusion of anterior dentoalveolar complex (Cases 4, and 5), and (3) Cases with protrusion of upper anterior dentoalveolar complex and extrusion of upper posterior teeth (Cases 6, and 7). Three cases with excessive vertical growth of the upper anterior dentoalveolar complex were presented. They were characterized with extruded and retroclined upper incisors, deep overbite, and gummy smile. The aim of this paper is to show that mini-implants are useful in the anterior area to intrude incisors and correct the gummy smile. An upper anterior mini-implant (1.6 x 6.0 mm) and a NiTi closed coil spring were used to intrude and procline the retroclined extruded incisors. Mini-implants can be used successfully as orthodontic anchorage to intrude anterior teeth. Abstract
Alternatives to Migration in the United States

Despite public opinion favoring reduced immigration, U.S. immigration policy since the 1980s has led to increased inflows of both legal and unauthorized immigrant workers, and migrants accounted for 12% of the U.S. population and 16% of its workforce in 2010. Given this disjuncture, this article explores practical alternatives to high levels of immigration in managing the U.S. workforce. The U.S. economy could reduce foreign-born employment by increasing employment among native workers, by increasing investment in technology and other enhancements to productivity, or by reducing production in immigrant-intensive industries. The article explores the feasibility of these alternatives in relation to current demographic and labor market conditions, possible policy tools, and the likely economic costs and benefits. The analysis reveals that the greatest economic benefits may be gained from enhancements to productivity, which would allow for reduced immigration without loss of output, whereas the reduction of U.S.-based production would likely generate net economic costs.
Integrated analysis of transnational and national territories 

The first ESPON projects have presented their final reports presenting new insights on territorial development in Europe and the territorial effects of sector policies. Territorial disparities are often the reflection of strong inequalities in the endowment of these territories in terms of competitiveness factors and structural intervention. Sector policies and instruments can have a significant impact on these elements and act as a factor of re-equilibrium among territories.

The diversity of territorial opportunities and development potentials plays an equally important role in providing for a harmonious and balanced European territory. Different territorial contexts entail their specific weaknesses and opportunities, which need to be analysed in a systematic way using the ESPON "three scale approach" focusing at European scale (macro scale), a diversity of transnational spatial contexts (meso scale) and each national territory (micro scale).

This project provides an integrated and structured analysis of the results of the ongoing and finalised ESPON project results, "zooming" in on different territorial contexts and scales, in order to identify existing spatial patterns and territorial specificities and complementarities.

Tourism art and souvenirs: the material culture of tourism

This book examines the relationship between art and tourism through the study of the material culture of tourism: tourist art and souvenirs. It thoroughly examines how to categorise the material culture of tourism within the discourses of contemporary art and cultural anthropology, and demonstrates that tourist art is a unique expression of place and genuine artistic style. The first investigation to consider the activity of souvenirs from both indigenous and settler tourist sites, it brings a unique addition to the existing, dated, research in the area.Working initially from Graburn’s definition of tourist art, as the art of one culture made specifically for the consumption of another, Tourism Art and Souvenirs sheds light on important aspects of the souvenir that have not been widely discussed. The most recent research is used to consider how the souvenir is designed and consumed, consumer expectations and influence on the character of the souvenir, how the souvenir maker is consumed by the tradition of heritage and how products become successful as souvenirs. The title also investigates the language involved in the representation of place and the recording of experience through the souvenir, developing a method that expresses the descriptive data of individual souvenir artefacts graphically so the patterns of language may be analysed.Enhancing the understanding of material culture in tourism and therefore adding to future tourism development this volume will be of interest to upper level students, researchers and academics in tourism, culture, heritage and sustainability.

Advertisement displays manufactured by hybrid in-mould integration

OptIntegral develops and demonstrates LED displays for advertisement manufactured by in-mould hybrid integration of TOLAE electronics and photonics components.
The aim is to proof the flexibility and sustainability of the novel manufacturing process enabling a diversity of LED display products competitive with EU-labour cost.
Three different large area displays: 3D glasses free, lightpipe and backlight, will be demonstrated by three SMEs. The novel manufacturing process combines Roll-to-Sheet and Roll-to-Roll of flexible electronics with In-mould hybrid integration of the optoelectronics with the optics.
The novel displays harvest the intrinsic TOLAE benefits with thin, light weight, and bendable structures; and the specific in-mould integration benefits of a) automating the current manual assembly with high reproducibility and yield and b) enabling new optical design concepts that bring better display resolution, lower costs and energy savings. This differential value supports the effective market introduction of TOLAE based highly competitive products.
OptIntegral enables a wide choice of materials and options in process design to put the technological advances at the service of the cost, performance and time-to-market requirements of the novel displays.
The workplan sets and consolidates the value chain by the demonstration platform that links all actors, from LED suppliers to displays users. This allows to respond to market demands and to capture the user feedback on the effectiveness of the displays to communicate information and to meta-communicate attitudes towards the advertiser brand.
Three display manufacturers that are currently manufacturing and selling LED displays in EU will enlarge their portfolio by setting up pilot manufacturing lines and co-developing demonstrators adapted to their customers’ needs. This is achieved during the project with the goal to be on the market 1 year after the end of the project as a result of OptIntegral business case.
RESEARCH AND APPLICATION ON ASEISMIC ENERGY-SAVING STRUCTURAL SYSTEM FOR RURAL BUILDINGS

Rural buildings in China were mostly self-built by farmers and destroyed severely after earthquakes due to poor aseismic capacity and inefficient energy saving measures. Thusly, it is an urgent need to develop an aseismic energy saving structural system with low-cost rural construction. The paper analyzed the characteristics of traditional rural building structures, including raw soil wall bearing structure, soil-wood bearing structure, wood structure, stone structure and brick masonry structure, as well as their status quo on the energy saving technologies for aseismic buildings, respectively. The research on the low-cost aseismic and isolation structures for rural buildings by the author's group in recent years were introduced, which include a RAC brick masonry structure with vertical constructional reinforcements, a new type concrete block masonry structure with constructional columns, an isolated masonry structure with glass fiber cloth and panels-graphite-glass fiber cloth panels layer, an isolated masonry structures with low-strength glass bead mortar layer, a RAC shear wall with heat insulation blocks and a single layer of reinforcements, as well as the corresponding engineering applications. The studies show that the aseismic and isolated structures proposed above have the advantages of being constructed easily, economical and applicable to use, and good aseismic energy saving effect. Combined with the demand of industrialization application technology development for rural buildings, the application of the ecological environmental protection materials, and green construction, the key problems were pointed out for the development of a structural system of rural aseismic energy saving construction.
Analysis of charge recombination with the Arrhenius, Eyring and Marcus theories

The Q band of photosynthetic thermoluminescence, measured in the presence of a herbicide that blocks electron transfer from PSII, is associated with recombination of the S(2)Q(A)(-) charge pair. The same charge recombination reaction can be monitored with chlorophyll fluorescence. It has been shown that the recombination occurs via three competing routes of which one produces luminescence. In the present study, we measured the thermoluminescence Q band and the decay of chlorophyll fluorescence yield after a single turnover flash at different temperatures from spinach thylakoids. The data were analyzed using the commonly used Arrhenius theory, the Eyring rate theory and the Marcus theory of electron transfer. The fitting error was minimized for both thermoluminescence and fluorescence by adjusting the global, phenomenological constants obtained when the reaction rate theories were applied to the multi-step recombination reaction. For chlorophyll fluorescence, all three theories give decent fits. The peak position of the thermoluminescence Q band is correct by all theories but the form of the Q band is somewhat different in curves predicted by the three theories. The Eyring and Marcus theories give good fits for the decreasing part of the thermoluminescence curve and Marcus theory gives the closest fit for the rising part.
