Estrategias bioclimáticas pasivas para la zona bioclimática 4 en viviendas de interés social de Perú

La vivienda de interés social tiene a la actualidad poco más de cien años de existencia. En el contexto latinoamericano estas tipologías en su gran mayoría no han sufrido grandes variaciones en cuanto a sus características formales y constructivas. En ese sentido la presente investigación propone estrategias bioclimáticas pasivas de calentamiento para la vivienda de interés social. El método se llevó en tres fases: primeramente, se hizo una búsqueda de las estrategias bioclimáticas de calentamiento más adecuadas para clima frio. Seguidamente se hizo una recopilación de los ejemplos de adaptaciones bioclimáticos existentes que conciernen a las viviendas vernáculas de la zona y finalmente se expone las viviendas existentes en el contexto Mesoandino Sudamericano. Como resultados se determinó que las estrategias más acordes para la zona Mesoandina son dos; la mejora de la envolvente térmica interior (EnT) y la estrategia de calefacción solar (CS), las que pueden ser adecuadas a viviendas existentes o nuevas propuestas.
An energetic and kinetic perspective of the grain-boundary role in healing radiation damage in tungsten

Radiation-induced damage in tungsten (W) and W alloys has been considered as one of the most important issues in fusion research, because radiation-produced defects not only degrade the mechanical property but also change the behaviours of H and He in W significantly, such as the retention of H. Nano-structured W has been developed to reduce accumulation of defects within grains and further mitigate radiation-induced damage. However, the fundamental role of a grain boundary (GB) in healing radiation damage in W is not yet well understood. Using molecular dynamics and statics, we evaluate energetically and kinetically the role of a GB in defect evolution (vacancy and interstitial segregation and their annihilation) near the GB in W, by calculating the vacancy (interstitial) formation energy, segregation energy, diffusion barrier, vacancy?interstitial annihilation barrier near the GB and the corresponding influence range of the GB. We find that, as reported and expected, interstitials are preferentially trapped into GBs over vacancies during irradiation, with vacancies dominant near the GB and interstitials highly localized at the GB. On the one hand, the GB serves as a sink both for vacancies and interstitials near itself by reducing their formation energy and diffusion barrier. The formation energy of the vacancy decreases only by ?0.86?eV, but 7.5?eV is reduced for the formation energy of the interstitial in the GB core, indicating that the sink is unexpectedly stronger for interstitials than vacancies. The average barrier of vacancy diffusion is 0.98?eV much less than 1.8?eV in the bulk; the interstitial migrates into the GB via a barrier-free process. On the other hand, the GB acts as a catalyst for the vacancy?interstitial recombination at the GB by lowering the annihilation barrier. The annihilation with the average barrier as low as 0.31?eV works even at a low temperature of 121?K; besides, the annihilation of a close vacancy?interstitial pair is spontaneous. Meanwhile, the annihilation mechanism near the GB is modified due to the exceptionally large reduction in the interstitial formation energy. The influence range of the GB is small (1?1.5?nm), leading to a small volume fraction of the GB region working as the sink and the catalyst. This indicates that GBs in fine W grains may play a limited role in improving radiation performance.
An Indoor Location-Aware System for an IoT-Based Smart Museum

The new technologies characterizing the Internet of Things (IoT) allow realizing real smart environments able to provide advanced services to the users. Recently, these smart environments are also being exploited to renovate the users’ interest on the cultural heritage, by guaranteeing real interactive cultural experiences. In this paper, we design and validate an indoor location-aware architecture able to enhance the user experience in a museum. In particular, the proposed system relies on a wearable device that combines image recognition and localization capabilities to automatically provide the users with cultural contents related to the observed artworks. The localization information is obtained by a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) infrastructure installed in the museum. Moreover, the system interacts with the Cloud to store multimedia contents produced by the user and to share environment-generated events on his/her social networks. Finally, several location-aware services, running in the system, control the environment status also according to users’ movements. These services interact with physical devices through a multiprotocol middleware. The system has been designed to be easily extensible to other IoT technologies and its effectiveness has been evaluated in the MUST museum, Lecce, Italy.
Organsation of the european research community on nuclear materials

ORIENT-NM answers the Euratom WP 2019-20 call NFRP-08, which requests to explore the possibility of establishing a European Joint Programme (EJP) on nuclear materials. Accordingly, ORIENT-NM will:
1. Produce a convincing strategic research agenda (SRA) for materials for all nuclear fission reactor generations (until 2040), consistent with national programmes and industrial needs, including supply chain constraints, paying attention to standardisation issues and verifying the availability of suitable infrastructures;
2. Elaborate an efficient EJP governance and legal structure, including attention for decision-making processes, intellectual property issues, promotion of innovation and analysis of potentially available resources, as well as an implementation scheme caring among others for quality assurance, SRA updating, knowledge and data management; all this considering different possible scenarios;
3. To identify appropriate ways of interactions between the EJP and other bodies and initiatives that bear connections with nuclear materials (stake-holders), including international organisations, standardisation bodies, technical safety organisations, fusion and non-nuclear energy communities, other associations, while addressing the issue of a coordinated use of nuclear materials infrastructures. 
All of the above will be done in close dialogue with Member States and European Commission, as well as all other stake-holders, in order to meet their requirements and expectations from an EJP on nuclear materials and raise the interest of identified research owners and research managers, by demonstrating the added value of such EJP.
The key outcomes will be:
A. Critical assessment of the added value of an EJP on nuclear materials;
B. Vision Paper and SRA;
C. Possible EJP structure, governance, legal aspects and implementation;
D. Set of protocols for the interaction of the EJP with other stake-holders.
Documents listed under A, C and D will complement and integrate the SRA.
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING BENZOFURANYL SUBSTITUTED 3-CYANOQUINOLINE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE FOR THE TREATMENT OF SOLID TUMOURS

The invention concerns the use of a quinoline derivative of the Formula I, wherein each of Z, m, R<1>, n and R<3> have any of the meanings defined hereinbefore in the description, in the manufacture of a medicament for use as an anti-proliferative agent in the containment and/or treatment of solid tumour disease.
AC-COUPLED SENSOR SIGNAL CONDITIONING CIRCUIT

A method and apparatus for minimizing errors in a sensor device due to signal amplitude variation are disclosed herein. A signal output from the sensor device is amplified (207) and thereafter, AC-coupled (209) to a comparator (209) such that the amplification and AC-coupling (209) of the signal minimizes offset shift-related errors associated with the sensor device. The signal can be coupled to eliminate offset shifts due to component mismatches, calibration, aging and/or temperature associated with the sensor device. An AC-coupled sensor signal conditioning circuit (200) is utilized to amplify the signal through an amplifier and then AC-couple the signal to a comparator (209).
Discovery of non-competitive thrombin inhibitor derived from competitive tryptase inhibitor skeleton: Shift in molecular recognition resulted from skeletal conversion of carboxylate into phosphonate

A novel series of terminal and internal phosphonate esters based on our previously developed aryl carboxylate-type tryptase selective inhibitor 1 was synthesized. The potency of these synthesized compounds was assessed in vitro with an enzyme inhibition assay using three available serine proteases, that is, tryptase, trypsin, and thrombin. The internal phosphonate derivative 6 showed potent thrombin inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.0 μM, whereas it exhibited no or only weak tryptase and trypsin inhibition at 10 μM. The Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis indicates that the inhibition pattern of thrombin with 6 is non-competitive in spite of the fact that the lead carboxylate compound 1 is competitive inhibitor. Therefore, the skeletal conversion of the carboxylate into a phosphonate alters the mode of molecular recognition of these inhibitors by thrombin.
Microbial commons: building a legal instrument for farmers' rights on agricultural microbial resources

Farm management practices have been shown to drive the evolution of specific consortia of agricultural microbial resources that contribute to increased agricultural productivity. The ecological traits of agricultural micro-organisms have made them an important target for patenting. Farmers' rights are an outcome of the recognition of the role of farmer communities in the evolution of crop varieties. Indigenous farmers have acted as selection agents in the development of crop as well as agricultural microbial resources by increasing reproductive fitness of particular genotypes. However, unlike with crop selection, no formal recognition of farmers' rights or potential benefit sharing programme has been proposed for agricultural micro-organisms that evolved from farming regimes. The central thesis that this project seeks to prove is that multilateral trade and environmental agreements  have failed in protecting the rights of indigenous farmers for their intellectual contribution in selection of beneficial agricultural biodiversity. The coming into force of TRIPS agreement and the Convention on Biological diversity has concretized the patenting regime of micro-organisms. In the absence of effective international and national legal enforcement, benefits are shared through mutually agreed contract arrangements which are invariably skewed against indigenous farmers. A commons approach to micro-organisms has potential to align farmers' rights on agricultural microbial resources with legal instruments developed for plant genetic resource collections. Microbial commons is conceptualized and builds on other work that is done in the areas of genetic resource commons and networked information commons in digitized environments in the field of genetic resources. This project aims to analyse deficiencies and barriers in multilateral agreements and develop a legal instrument for the incorporation of a commons regime for sharing of benefits from agricultural micro-organisms.
Using Content Maps to Measure Content Development in Physical Education: Validation and Application

Purpose: This study reports on our efforts toward extending the conceptual understanding of content development in physical education by validating content maps as a measurement tool, examining new categories of instructional tasks to describe content development and validating formulae that can be used to evaluate depth of content development.

Stability of tetrons

We consider the interactions in a mesonic system, referred here to as `tetron', consisting of two heavy quarks and two lighter antiquarks (which may still be heavy in the scale of QCD), i.e. generally $Q_a Q_b \bar q_c \bar q_d$, and study the existence of bound states below the threshold for decay into heavy meson pairs. At a small ratio of the lighter to heavier quark masses an expansion parameter arises for treatment of the binding in such systems. We find that in the limit where all the quarks and antiquarks are so heavy that a Coulomb-like approximation can be applied to the gluon exchange between all of them, such bound states arise when this parameter is below a certain critical value. We find the parametric dependence of the critical mass ratio on the number of colors $N_c$, and confirm this dependence by numerical calculations. In particular there are no stable tetrons when all constituents have the same mass. We discuss an application of a similar expansion in the large $N_c$ limit to realistic systems where the antiquarks are light and their interactions are nonperturbative. In this case our findings are in agreement with the recent claims from a phenomenological analysis that a stable $b b \bar u \bar d$ tetron is likely to exist, unlike those where one or both bottom quarks are replaced by the charmed quark.
Animation, materials, transcultural ecologies: performing worlds at the baroque savoy court of christine of france

ANIMATE investigates the spectacles staged at the Savoy court in Turin during the lifetime of the regent Christine of Bourbon-France (1606-1663). By examining objects and scenery, costumes and movements, this research explores how these virtual spaces performed new ways of thinking about the world, its natural resources and environments, at a time that saw a rapid increase in the circulation of bodies and things across borders. To pursue this aim, the study focuses on a large archive of extant – and understudied – visual and textual documentation: fourteen albums produced by court calligrapher, cartographer, and engineer Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio to document, over 1.117 manuscript pages, the performances in all their constituent elements. This investigation stems from my experience as a research associate with the project ""Making Worlds: Art, Materiality, and Early Modern Globalization"", based at McGill University, which examined issues raised by the global turn in art history and the humanities. By pursuing an art historical and cross-disciplinary approach, in the unfolding of this research I will i) further enhance my understanding of Italian visual culture in the context of global connectivity; ii) acquire new methodological tools for the critical evaluation of aesthetic practices from the point of view of ecology; iii) reinforce my mastery of an object of study – the courtly performance – that involved different types of media. The Art History Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, one of the first in the United States to embrace a mission of comprehensive global coverage, and the DAR at the University of Bologna, the largest multi-focused Department of the Arts in Italy, will constitute ideal settings in which pursue this investigation. The success of this project will strenghten my professional profile with the realization of my first monograph, thus boosting my chances of securing a tenure-track position within the DAR.

The connection between moral positions and moral arguments drives opinion change

Liberals and conservatives often take opposing positions on moral issues. But what makes a moral position liberal or conservative? Why does public opinion tend to become more liberal over time? And why does public opinion change especially fast on certain issues, such as gay rights? We offer an explanation based on how different positions connect with different kinds of moral arguments. Based on a formal model of opinion dynamics, we predicted that positions better connected to harm and fairness arguments will be more popular among liberals and will become more popular over time among liberals and conservatives. Finally, the speed of this trend will be faster the better the position connects to harm and fairness arguments. These predictions all held with high accuracy in 44 years of polling on moral opinions. The model explains the connection between ideology and moral opinions, and generates precise predictions for future opinion change.
METHOD AND ELECTRODE ARRANGEMENT FOR INDUCING FLAT FREQUENCY MODULATION RESPONSE IN SEMICONDUCTOR LASER

In order to induce a flat frequency modulation response in a multi-electrode semiconductor laser (10′) which includes an active region (12) and at least one phase control region (14) with no active layer, a modulation current is applied to both of the active region (12) and the phase control region (14). Further, an improved electrode arrangement for inducing a flat frequency modulation response in a multi-electrode semiconductor laser (10′) is present. The semiconductor laser includes three regions: an active region (12), a phase control region (14) and a Bragg reflector region (16). Each of the active region, the phase control region and the Bragg reflector region being provided with an electrode (30a,30b′,30b˝,30c) for receiving an injection current, wherein the electrode provided for the active layer extends into the phase control region.
Taxes, International Clienteles and the Value of ADR Dividends

An alternative approach to valuing dividends is developed and applied to American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on Australian stocks. The values of ADR dividends are estimated from the period when, due to different ex-dividend dates, the ADRs and their underlying stocks trade with differential dividend entitlements. Australian ADR dividends are valued at less than their face value and the dividends on the underlying stocks are valued at more than their face value. This suggests that ADR dividends are priced by a clientele of US investors placing little value on the imputation tax credits attached to the dividends and that a clientele of Australian resident investors, who obtain value from imputation tax credits, price the dividends on the underlying stock.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy detection of dopamine by DNA Targeting amplification assay in Parkisons's model

Dopamine is a potent neuromodulator in the brain that influences a variety of motivated behaviors and is involved in several neurologic diseases. We evaluated a bio-barcode amplification assay for its ability to detect dopamine in a mouse model with and without prior administration of the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). Our approach uses a combination of DNA barcodes and bead-based immunoassays for detecting neurotransmitters with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This method relies on a gold nanoplate with adsorbed antibodies and gold nanoparticles that are encoded with DNA and antibodies that can sandwich the target protein captured by the nanoparticle-bound antibodies. C57BL/6 mice were infused intranasally with MPTP (25mg/kg/day) over 7 consecutive days. At 7 and 21 days after the last administration of MPTP, dopamine was found by western blot analysis to have decreased in the midbrain by 37.44% and 92.95%, respectively. Furthermore, the Raman intensity of dopamine in the midbrains of MPTP-treated mice decreased by 56.77% and 61.12% on days 7 and 21, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the concentration of dopamine in midbrain and striatum of MPTP-treated mice can be easily detected using the bio-barcode assay, which is a rapid, high-throughput screening tool for detecting neurotransmitters.
