The place-making function of ritual movement in roman religion

Ritual movement, that is movement of individuals or groups on a more or less fixed route for religious causes or purposes (e.g. processions), always played a major role in the religious life of the Romans. 

Nevertheless, not enough attention has been paid so far to its fundamental place-making role: RITMO aims to investigate the impact and consequences of the continued performance of ritual movement on the cultural, social and physical creation of religious places, thus of collective identity and memory, in ancient Rome (8th cent. BCE – 5th cent. CE). 

RITMO will explore some key case studies of ritual movement in Roman religion, as the Salian rituals, the transvectio equitum, the Argei, as well as four women festivals (Matralia, Nonae Caprotinae, Nemoralia and the procession of 207 BCE), in order to better understand how such rituals shaped (and were shaped by) emotions, identity and memory processes – during and after the ritual performance – by finally becoming embedded in Rome’s sacred landscape.

The project will then compare these case studies with more studied examples of ritual movements in Roman religion (e.g. the Lupercalia and the pompa circensis), and finally with a ritual movement still performed every year in Rome, the procession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Close observation of a ritual movement still ‘in the making’ can further put RITMO’s results to the test.

Comparison, spatiality and an inter/multidisciplinary approach will significantly enhance the understanding of such an important kind of ritual performance in ancient Rome. Moreover, as ritual movement is still practiced and is part of the cultural heritage of many countries, by delving into the significance of such phenomenon starting as from Antiquity, it will be easier to understand its semantics and meanings in contemporary society, and how it can still promote identity and belonging and foster social cohesion.
Evidence for strong dynamical evolution in disc galaxies through the last 11 Gyr. GHASP VIII - a local reference sample of rotating disc galaxies for high-redshift studies

[Abridged] Due to their large distances, high-z galaxies are observed at a very low spatial resolution. In order to disentangle the evolution of galaxy kinematics from low resolution effects, we have used Fabry-Perot 3D Ha data-cubes of 153 nearby isolated galaxies from the GHASP survey to simulate data-cubes of galaxies at z=1.7. We show that the inner velocity gradient is lowered and is responsible for a peak in the velocity dispersion map. Toy-models of rotating disks have been built to recover the parameters from low resolution data. The poor resolution makes the kinematical inclination uncertain and the center difficult to recover. The major axis is retrieved with an accuracy higher than 5deg for 70% of the sample. Toy-models also enable to retrieve statistically the maximum velocity and the mean velocity dispersion of galaxies with a satisfying accuracy. This validates the use of the Tully-Fisher relation for high-z galaxies but the loss of resolution induces a lower slope at high-z. We conclude that the main kinematic parameters are better constrained for galaxies with an optical radius larger than three times the seeing. The simulated data have been compared to actual high-z galaxies data in the redshift range 3>z>0.4. For rotation-dominated galaxies, we find that the use of the velocity dispersion central peak as a signature of rotating disks may misclassify slow and solid body rotators (~30% of our sample). We show that the projected data cannot reproduce the high velocity dispersion observed in high-z galaxies except when no beam smearing correction is applied. This unambiguously means that, at the opposite of local evolved galaxies, there exists at high redshift at least a population of disk galaxies for which a large fraction of the dynamical support is due to random motions.
PARALLEL COMPUTING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Nowadays engineers and researchers are faced with solving very complex problems in a mathematical modeling and design. Numerical analysis naturally finds applications in all fields of engineering and the physical sciences. The finite element method is a powerful tool for the numerical simulation of a wide range of problems. Implementation of the finite element method in CAD systems on the basis of modern computers allows researchers to solve large scale problems. The finite element method uses a discretization of a continuum domain into a mesh as the starting point. The discretization of complex domains may give large numbers of elements, thus increasing the requirements of computer memory and speed. Modern parallel computers use multiple processing elements simultaneously to solve a problem. Thus implementation of parallel computing into the finite element method is urgent direction of the research. In the finite element method for the numerical solution of partial differential equations, the stiffness matrix represents the system of linear equations that must be solved in order to ascertain an approximate solution to the differential equation. Therefore the article describes parallel algorithms for assembly of stiffness matrix and for solution of linear equations. Also this article contains two numerical experiments: 1) Dirichlet problem on the complex domain (gear); 2) Elasticity problem of three-layer shell. In the end of the article author compares the speed of a solution of these problems with one, two and four parallel cores and makes discussion about the effectiveness of parallel finite element processing.

Optimisation of Public Transport Policies for Green Mobility

Across Europe transport accounts for about 20 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions, nearly half of those are related to passenger transport. To reduce the carbon footprint of mobility, public transport has to be strengthened, especially in rural and sub-urban regions that represent bottlenecks in public transport networks. As reasonably good infrastructures and moving stocks are available throughout Europe, policy improvements here can lever considerable reductions in carbon emissions. Those include better integration of different low-carbon transport modes (bicycle/e-mobility and public transport), better ticketing options (e.g. door-to-door mobility tickets), use of ICT to react in real-time to fluctuating demand (especially bus transport; e.g. flexible routing), timetable integration (between large city networks and sub-urban surroundings), higher passenger comfort (e.g. on-board WiFi allowing work and leisure online activities while in public transport) and promoting a better image of public transport (PR and participation). Through improved policies, public transport networks become more attractive, leading to more passengers and hence more financial means to further expand public transport.

OptiTrans partners engage in an interregional learning where these questions are addressed in thematic seminars and mutual peer reviews. Baseline studies and an investigation of good practices furthermore build capacities before lessons learnt are analysed with transport stakeholders and integrated in Action Plans. Policy improvements are anticipated in both ERDF ROP frameworks and mobility strategies in the partner regions. 

Involved project partners represent local and regional public authorities who are in charge of mobility/transport strategies, planning and implementing public transport. Each partner has therefore the necessary capacities to lead in Phase 2 the implementation of the Action Plan being produced in result of the Phase 1 capacity building process.
Sustainable and Equipped Productive Areas

SEPA promotes the concept of sustainable production area defined as a Community of manufacturing firms and services that, within a territory and through cooperation, plan to improve their environmental, economic and social performances, acquiring specific organizational tools, management and infrastructure. Its most innovative aspect is to move the focus from the activity of individual public institutions and SMEs to the production areas in which they operate. The Project aims to transfer a model of sustainable management for productive areas to final beneficiaries, within the framework of relevant European strategies (Lisbon, Gothenburg) and according to EMS/EMAS standards. SEPA main goals are: 1) to achieve methodologies, tools and procedures needed to realise and manage a productive area in a sustainable way. The area shall offer economic advantages to tenants through economies of scale from centralised infrastructure and services and improve the general quality of life in the territories interested by the localisation; 2) to implement the SEPA model by integrating economic efficiency, environmental, social and cultural concerns into the SEPA areas. The project shall provide partners with tools for undertaking their role as initiators and promoters of viable pilot projects which promote a balanced pattern of attractive and accessible growth areas. Transnational action shall serve as the framework for supporting the establishment of joint strategies and empowerment of pooled resources through structures and capacities to develop consistent policies, plans and pilot projects targeting sustainable growth and jobs in the SEPA functional areas. It shall also target cooperative marketing activities in support of economic and regional development, attracting investments through a trans-national network of regions. Moreover, raising awareness on the concept of sustainable equipped productive areas shall be the subject of a well targeted communication campaign.
0046: Interest in the evaluation of exercise capacity by exercise stress testing in coronary artery disease – example of a series of diabetic women

In exploratory research strategy of coronary disease ranked first exercise stress test (EST). Beyond its positive predictive value represented by the repolarization triggered by stress, it provides additional prognostic and diagnostic information which includes exercise capacity especially in women. For women who cannot pedal, treadmill test according to the Bruce protocol allows a more accurate assessment of exercise capacity (EC) than a simple examination noting the exercise duration and intensity of the activity expressed in METs. Under exploration by treadmill test according to the Bruce protocol, 342 women with type 2 diabetes, in search of silent myocardial ischemia, exercise capacity (p=0.01) and exercise duration (p=0.001) emerged as significant in univariate analysis comparing the results of coronary angiography. And multivariate analysis patients who do not exceed 6 METs have stenosis (23%), OR=5,23X10 8 ; RR [IC 95%, 9,15X10 7 – 2,99X10 8 ], at least coronary infiltration (37%)(OR=9,21X10 7 ; RR [IC95%, 1,61x10 7 – 5,27x10 8 ] arteries and this in agreement with literature data. The modern interpretation of EST should include in addition to ST-segment changes, EC who is an important independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality both in the asymptomatic patient with coronary, moreover, it allows the evaluation of the protective effect of regular physical activity, especially for diabetic women.
PIPE FITTING

This invention concerns a pipe fitting which consists of a press fitting of corrosion-resistant material which has at least one section extending outwards or inwards and having a seal ring and a cylindrical area adjacent to it. This cylindrical area has a crease at the end of the extension and has a line pipe out of corrosion-resistant material, the end of which can be pushed into or onto the press fitting up to the mating edge. To that effect, the thin-walled line pipe (5) has a tightly fitting non-metallic jacket (7) shape-mated with it which, together with the line pipe (5), forms a compound pipe and the end area of the line pipe (5) has a supporting bushing (9, 11, 18).
Resistive switching characteristics of Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>-based resistive-switching random-access memory cell with tunnel barrier for high density integration and low-power applications

In this letter, a bipolar resistive-switching random-access memory (RRAM) in Ni/Si3N4/SiO2/p+-Si structure and its fabrication process are demonstrated. The proposed device with double-layer dielectrics consisting of Si3N4 layer (5 nm) as a resistive switching and SiO2 (2.5 nm) layer for the tunnel barrier is investigated in comparison with that having a single layer of Si3N4. Double-layer cell shows ultra-low power operation under a compliance current (ICOMP) of 500 nA, which ensures the reset current (IRESET) of sub-1 μA much lower than that of the single-layer cell. Also, large on/off ratio (∼105) has been obtained since the SiO2 layer efficiently suppresses the current in the high-resistance state. Moreover, maximum selectivity in double-layer cell is 122 when 1/2 read bias scheme is applied to the crossbar array. Highly nonlinear I-V characteristics of the double-layer Si3N4-based RRAM cell warrant the realization of selector-free RRAM cell in the crossbar array pursuing higher integration density.
Measurement of the top yukawa coupling with the atlas detector

In this project, the top Yukawa coupling is measured using proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. The top Yukawa coupling is the strength of the interaction between the Higgs boson and the top quark, which can be predicted in the Standard Model of elementary particles. A deviation of the measured top Yukawa coupling from the Standard Model prediction would be a proof of new phenomena beyond the Standard Model that could provide an answer to several open questions concerning the fundamental interactions of elementary particles.

The top Yukawa coupling will be determined from the production rate of the events containing a Higgs boson and a pair of top quarks at the ATLAS experiment. The selection criteria focus on the semileptonic decay of the pair of top quarks and the Higgs boson decay to a pair of bottom quarks in the phase phase with highly energetic Higgs boson and top quarks. The main goal of the project is to develop multivariate identification criteria using novel approaches, which involve: classification scheme of the signal events, jet substructure techniques and matrix element method. The effect of the expected 120 simultaneous proton-proton interactions on the measurement will be investigated and mitigated as well. It is expected that the project improves the precision of the top Yukawa coupling measurement by factor of 4 in the studied phase space.

The Researcher is planning to pursue an academic career and the International Fellowship will help to strengthen his position as an independent researcher by extending his scientific expertise and by acquiring additional skills on project management, leadership, and presentation.
Improvement of Gel Strength and Melting Point of Fish Gelatin by Addition of Coenhancers Using Response Surface Methodology

Fish gelatin is a potential alternative to mammalian gelatin. However, poor gel strength and low melting point limit its applications. The study was aimed at improving these properties by adding coenhancers in the range obtained from response surface methodology (RSM) by using Box-Behnken design. Three different coenhancers, MgSO₄, sucrose, and transglutaminase were used as the independent variables for improving the gel strength and melting point of gelatin extracted from Tiger-toothed croaker (Otolithes ruber). Addition of coenhancers at different combinations resulted gel strength and melting point in the range of 150.5 to 240.5 g and 19.5 to 22.5 °C, respectively. The optimal concentrations of coenhancers for predicted maximum gel strength (242.8 g) obtained by RSM were 0.23 M MgSO₄, 12.60% sucrose (w/v), and 5.92 mg/g transglutaminase and for predicted maximum melting point (22.57 °C), the values were 0.24 M MgSO₄, 10.44% sucrose (w/v), and 5.72 mg/g transglutaminase. By addition of coenhancers at these optimal concentrations in verification experiments, the gel strength and melting point were improved from 170 to 240.89 g and 20.3 to 22.7 °C, respectively. These experimental values agreed well with the predicted values demonstrating the fitness of the models. Results from the present study clearly revealed that the addition of coenhancers at a particular combination can improve the gel strength and melting point of fish gelatin to enhance its range of applications.There is a growing interest in the use of fish gelatin as an alternative to mammalian gelatin. However, poor gel strength and low melting point of fish gelatin have limited its commercial applications. The gel strength and melting point of fish gelatin can be increased by incorporation of coenhancers such as magnesium sulphate, sucrose, and transglutaminase. Results of this work help to produce the fish gelatin suitable for wide range of applications in the food industry.

Petrophysical Characteristics of Coastal Swamp Depobelt Reservoir in the Niger Delta Using Well-Log Data

Sonic, gamma ray, density and resistivity logs in the onshore Coastal Swamps of the Niger Delta are used in the determination of some petrophysical properties of the reservoir in the Coastal Swamp Depobelt in the Niger Delta. The parameters investigated were porosity, velocities, shear and compressional velocities, and Poisson’s ratio. The results of the analysis show that the reservoir is 66m sandstone thick having porosity range of 0.21 – 0.39 with average of 0.26; density ranges between 2.01 and 2.30 with average of 2.21g/cc; Poisson’s ratio range 0.33 – 0.45 with 0.40 as average value; shear-wave velocity Vs ranges from 718 to 1097 having average of 932.33 m/s, compressional-wave velocity Vp ranges from 2110 to 2570 with average of 2230m/s, Vp/Vs ratio ranges 1.96 – 3.18 with average value of 2.55; and Gamma-ray GR value ranges 62 – 105 having average of 90AP and Vs 718 m/s are indicative fluid-filled reservoir. The results of this work can be used for well drilling and petroleum production programmes, and for civil engineering work in the area of study.
Opening up science

While 2020 can be defined using the word ""Lockdown"", we hope to define 2021 with the words ""Opening Up"". If the world is about to return to normality, the key contributor to this achievement is Research. Thus, the 2021 European Researchers? Night aims to celebrate science, as the hero that made it possible for the world to open up.
Designed around the concept of ""Opening Up Science"", our event will highlight the impact that science and researchers have had in the process of opening up the world again. Never before in the history of humanity has the impact of science on our lives been clearer and faster. The concept will be extended to underline the key role that research will play in a post-Covid green recovery, a process that will allow societies to move forward to a cleaner, more sustainable, carbon-neutral and resilient future. 
Public trust in science comes with a higher responsibility for researchers in society: Opening Up Science will also carry a key message to the research community that needs to open up to the public. Using our event as a best practice example, we will highlight the importance of public engagement and science education as vital elements in making science truly more open in the society.
The event will be organised by a national consortium, based in large Romanian university cities (Iasi, Timisoara, Craiova, Constanta and Sibiu), in collaboration with their traditional partners and local authorities, as well as joining goals with local science festivals or science associations. Flexibility will be key principle in organizing of the 2021 - whether returning to face-to-face interaction or remaining in an online format, focused on minds-on experiments, the event will capitalise on the newly gained experience of 2020, that allowed for better reach in underserved communities and even across Europe, through the collaboration between various projects coordinated from different countries.
