Welfare und Ernährungssicherheit: Die Unterstützungsprogramme der Amministrazione per gli aiuti internazionali (Aai) von der Nachkriegszeit bis in die 60er Jahre
Authors: Inaudi Silvia 
Published: April 2018

Riassunto
:L’articolo propone una panoramica critica degli interventi socio-assistenziali posti in essere dal dopoguerra alla prima meta degli anni Sessanta dall’Amministrazione per gli aiuti internazionali (Aai): organismo singolare nel panorama assistenziale italiano per le sue caratteristiche di autonomia all’interno del complesso statuale e per la fitta rete di rapporti intessuti a livello internazionale. Sotto la guida del democristiano Lodovico Montini, l’Aai si fece portatrice di istanze di modernizzazione nell’ambito di una visione che intendeva coniugare la tradizione del cattolicesimo sociale con la moderna cultura anglosassone dell’auto-aiuto, e di un modello di Welfare promanante dallo Stato ma rispettoso dell’iniziativa privata. L’attuazione dei suoi programmi, nei quali rilevante fu la focalizzazione sull’infanzia e la gioventu e l’enfasi sull’aspetto pedagogico-formativo, si accompagno al costante supporto della professionalizzazione del personale preposto ai servizi socio-assistenziali. Per il ruolo del tutto peculiare che l’Aai ebbe nel panorama dell’assistenza pubblica italiana, analizzarne la genesi e l’operato significa anche riflettere sulle contraddittorie scelte in materia di intervento sociale da parte del governo italiano nel piu ampio contesto delle intersezioni fra welfare e guerra fredda.
Le case tributarie nelle leggi e nei documenti longobardi
Authors: Carminati Fabio , Mariani Andrea 
Published: April 2018

Zusammenfassung
In einigen Dokumenten aus der Zeit des Langobardenreiches (7.-8. Jh.) werden spezifische Landstucke erwahnt, case tributarie genannt. Einige von diesen waren Teil der Curtis Regia (bzw. der Fiscus), wahrend andere moglicherweise in Privatbesitz waren. Alle verschwanden nach dem Niedergang des langobardischen Konigreiches. Ihre Eigenschaften wurden bislang noch nicht naher untersucht: fur gewohnlich werden die case tributarie als Aquivalent der case massaricie betrachtet, das heist als Zentren landwirtschaftlicher Produktion, welche von Siedlern bewirtschaftet wurden. Eine solche Hypothese stimmt mit den jungsten Forschungsergebnissen uberein, welche jedoch die Existenz der generellen Besteuerung im langobardischen Konigreich ausklammert, obwohl die Quellen einen anderen Zusammenhang andeuten. Durch die Analyse dieser Quellen ist es moglich hilfreiche Informationen zu erlangen, um sowohl die Funktion als auch die Hauptmerkmale der case tributarie zu interpretieren und um einige besondere Charakteristiken der langobardischen Administration aufzuzeigen. Hierfur werden wir zuerst die wenigen uberlieferten Dokumente mit Verweisen auf die case tributarie sowie einige ihrer Hauptmerkmale und Problemstellen vorstellen. In einem weiteren Schritt werden wir die bisherige historiographische Interpretation erortern. Schlieslich schlagen wir ein anderes Modell und seine Umsetzung in einer speziellen Fallstudie vor.

Riassunto
Il carteggio del gesuita Matthaus Rader, nato nella Germania meridionale, rappresenta non solo una fonte importante per lo studio della storia culturale bavarese, ma offre anche un’importante testimonianza per il transfer culturale tra l’Italia e la Germania all’inizio del XVII secolo. I suoi progetti editoriali sia filologici che storici spesso necessitavano, nel contesto delle procedure di censura interne all’ordine, dell’approvazione da parte della curia generalizia. Da cio derivava un regolare scambio epistolare con la Citta eterna che apriva a Rader l’accesso a manoscritti rari, conservati a Roma, e lo metteva in contatto con i bibliotecari locali. Tali rapporti facevano di lui un importante interlocutore per viaggiatori diretti da Roma verso la Baviera, ad esempio Leone Allacci, il quale nel 1623 avrebbe dovuto trasferire i fondi della Palatina in Italia. La posizione di Rader come storiografo ufficiale della corte bavarese comportava che egli propagasse a Roma la visione storica del suo committente, il duca Massimiliano I. Il contrasto provocato da Abraham Bzowski con Massimiliano per la rappresentazione dell’imperatore Ludovico IV nei suoi Annales ecclesiastici porto Rader sull’orlo di un conflitto con il preposito generale dei gesuiti, Vitelleschi; in tale cornice si concepi piuttosto come attore sullo sfondo della politica culturale bavarese.

The Photoelectrochemistry of Assemblies of Semiconductor Nanoparticles at Interfaces
Authors: Hickey Stephen G. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The application of photoelectrochemical methods presents the researcher with a powerful set of versatile tools by which photoactive materials, such as semiconductor quantum dots, at conductive interfaces may be interrogated. While the range of photoelectrochemical techniques available is quite large, it is surprising that very few have found their way into common usage within the nanoparticle community. Here a number of photoelectrochemical techniques and the principles upon which they are based are introduced. A short discussion on the criticality of ensuring the nanoparticles are reliably anchored to the substrate is followed by an introduction to the basic set of equipment required in order to enable the investigator to undertake such experiments. Subsequently the four techniques of transient photocurrent response to square wave illumination, photocurrent spectroscopy, intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy and intensity modulated photovoltage spectroscopy are introduced. Finally, the information that can be acquired using such techniques is provided with emphasis being placed on a number of case studies exemplifying the application of photoelectrochemical techniques to nanoparticles at interfaces, in particular optically transparent electrodes.

Abstract
Carlos-Vivas, J, Freitas, TT, Cuesta, M, Perez-Gomez, J, De Hoyo, M, and Alcaraz, PE. New tool to control and monitor weighted vest training load for sprinting and jumping in soccer. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 3030–3038, 2019—The purpose of this study was to develop 2 regression equations that accurately describe the relationship between weighted vest loads and performance indicators in sprinting (i.e., maximum velocity, Vmax) and jumping (i.e., maximum height, Hmax). Also, this study aimed to investigate the effects of increasing the load on spatio-temporal variables and power development in soccer players and to determine the “optimal load” for sprinting and jumping. Twenty-five semiprofessional soccer players performed the sprint test, whereas a total of 46 completed the vertical jump test. Two different regression equations were developed for calculating the load for each exercise. The following equations were obtained: % body mass (BM) = −2.0762·%Vmax + 207.99 for the sprint and % BM = −0.7156·%Hmax + 71.588 for the vertical jump. For both sprinting and jumping, when the load increased, Vmax and Hmax decreased. The “optimal load” for resisted training using weighted vest was unclear for sprinting and close to BM for vertical jump. This study presents a new tool to individualize the training load for resisted sprinting and jumping using weighted vest in soccer players and to develop the whole force-velocity spectrum according to the objectives of the different periods of the season.
Drift in Neural Population Activity Causes Working Memory to Deteriorate Over Time
Authors: Schneegans Sebastian , Bays Paul M. 
Published: April 2018

Short-term memories are thought to be maintained in the form of sustained spiking activity in neural populations. Decreases in recall precision observed with increasing number of memorized items can be accounted for by a limit on total spiking activity, resulting in fewer spikes contributing to the representation of each individual item. Longer retention intervals likewise reduce recall precision, but it is unknown what changes in population activity produce this effect. One possibility is that spiking activity becomes attenuated over time, such that the same mechanism accounts for both effects of set size and retention duration. Alternatively, reduced performance may be caused by drift in the encoded value over time, without a decrease in overall spiking activity. Human participants of either sex performed a variable-delay cued recall task with a saccadic response, providing a precise measure of recall latency. Based on a spike integration model of decision making, if the effects of set size and retention duration are both caused by decreased spiking activity, we would predict a fixed relationship between recall precision and response latency across conditions. In contrast, the drift hypothesis predicts no systematic changes in latency with increasing delays. Our results show both an increase in latency with set size, and a decrease in response precision with longer delays within each set size, but no systematic increase in latency for increasing delay durations. These results were quantitatively reproduced by a model based on a limited neural resource in which working memories drift rather than decay with time.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTRapid deterioration over seconds is a defining feature of short-term memory, but what mechanism drives this degradation of internal representations? Here, we extend a successful population coding model of working memory by introducing possible mechanisms of delay effects. We show that a decay in neural signal over time predicts that the time required for memory retrieval will increase with delay, whereas a random drift in the stored value predicts no effect of delay on retrieval time. Testing these predictions in a multi-item memory task with an eye movement response, we identified drift as a key mechanism of memory decline. These results provide evidence for a dynamic spiking basis for working memory, in contrast to recent proposals of activity-silent storage.
Rapid-onset diabetic ketoacidosis secondary to nivolumab therapy
Authors: Lee Senhong , Morgan Aparna , Shah Sonali , Ebeling Peter R 
Published: April 2018

Summary
We report a case of a 67-year-old man with type 2 diabetes presented with diabetic ketoacidosis, two weeks after his first dose of nivolumab therapy for non–small-cell lung carcinoma. He was started on empagliflozin two days prior in the setting of hyperglycaemia after the initiation of nivolumab therapy. Laboratory evaluation revealed an undetectable C-peptide and a positive anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody. He was treated with intravenous fluids and insulin infusion and was subsequently transitioned to subcutaneous insulin and discharged home. He subsequently has developed likely autoimmune thyroiditis and autoimmune encephalitis.

Learning points:

Glycemic surveillance in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors is recommended.

Early glycemic surveillance after commencement of anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors may be indicated in selected populations, including patients with underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus and positive anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody.

Sodium-glucose co transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors should be used with caution in patients on immunotherapy.
TIRADS score is of limited clinical value for risk stratification of indeterminate cytological results

Published: April 2018

Context
Thyroid nodules with cytological indeterminate results represent a daily and recurrent issue for patient management.

Objective
The primary aim of our study was to determine if TIRADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System) could be used to stratify the malignancy risk of these nodules and to help in their clinical management. Secondary objective was to estimate if this risk stratification would change after reclassification of encapsulated non-invasive follicular variant of papillary carcinomas (FVPTC) as non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm (NIFTP).

Patients and methods
Single-center retrospective study of a cohort of 602 patients who were referred for ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration from January 2010 to December 2016 with an indeterminate cytological result and in whom histological results after surgery were available. TIRADS score was prospectively determined for all patients included. Nodules that had been classified as FVPTC were submitted to a rereading of histological report and reclassified as NIFTP when judged relevant. A table of malignancy risk crossing Bethesda and TIRADS results was built before and after this reclassification.

Results
The study included 602 cytologically indeterminate nodules. TIRADS score was positively correlated with the malignancy rate (P < 0.0001). Risk stratification with TIRADS was significant only in Bethesda V nodules (P = 0.0004). However, the risk of malignancy in this Bethesda V category was always above 45%, whatever the TIRADS score.

Conclusion
For a clinician facing an indeterminate cytological result for a thyroid nodule, return to TIRADS score is of limited value in most conditions to rule in or rule out malignancy and to guide subsequent management of patients.
The kinetics of adsorption binding of Ba2+ ions by trimethylsilylated silica

Published: April 2018

It was established that incomplete substitution of free silanols of fumed silica surface on (CH3)3Si-groups leads to an increase in the ability of modified SiO2 to adsorb Ba2+ cations from an electrolyte solution. Silica with 48.3% of trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups adsorbs 1.8 mmol·g-1 of Ba2+ cations from 0.01 M BaCl2 solution, that in 3 times more than the adsorption of these cations by unmodified silica. It was found that the adsorption of cations by basic and modified silica is well described by the pseudo-second order Lagergren equation. The high adsorption activity of silica with chemisorbed TMS-groups is due to the formation of local regions with relatively large values of negative and positive electrostatic potentials in the vicinity of grafted TMS-groups.
Probabilistic criterion for Gausian equivalent linearization
Authors: Anh N. D. , Schiehlen W. 
Published: April 2018

Within the scope of Gaussian equivalent linearization, a new probabilistic criterion for determining the coefficients of the linearized equivalent equation is proposed to treat stationary response of non-linear systems under zero mean Gaussian ro.nd.om excitation. Application to the Duffing oscillate subjected to white noise is presented that shows significant improvement over corresponding accuracy of the classical Gaussian equivalent linearization for both weak and strong non-linear.
An algorithm for one - dimensional tidal model of river networks
Authors: Dac Nguyen Tat 
Published: April 2018

There has been a great number and variety of numerical techniques for one-dimensional tidal model of river networks, e.g. [1. 2], which base themselves on the integration of the Saint-Venant equation. [1] requires a complicated procedure in classification of branches and in computation of the recurrence coefficients. [2] has some advantage in comparison with [1] but the degree of the system of linear equation to be solved is quite great. This makes it [l] fit only for simple networks of river. In this report a modified algorithm for river networks is given. It is shown that there is only one recurrence relation to be used for all branches describing the networks the graph structure is formed. The algorithm is flexible for users. The theory presented in this report has been programmed in FORTRAN IV and the resulting computer program has been tested on a part of Mekong river.

The paper deals with stability analysis of shell on the basis FEM via Castem 2000. The numerical results of stability problems of cylinders subjected to different loads as compress load, pressure, concentrated and combined loads are compared with analytical result and give a good agreement. The influence of changing radius of the cylindrical shell on the unstable forms and the influence of angles of fibers on unstable behaviour of laminated composite shell are considered. Numerical results and corresponding programs by languages Gibian given in the paper to realize software Castem 2000 can be applied in the design and in the stability analysis of the shell with more complex conditions
Influence of the Frequency-chirp Gaussian Pulse on the Pulse Broadening in %the Dispersive Fibers
Authors: Kien Bui Xuan , Hung Tran Hai , Chien Trinh Dinh 
Published: April 2018

A signal optical pulse propagating in the fiber is affected by many factors, one of the most important among them is dispersion. Under the dispersive influence, the optical pulse is reshaped, particulally, its duration is changed. Especially, the pulse duration change of the optical short pulse with the frequency-chirp is unregular. It influences to the propagating distance in the fiber optic network.In this paper, the expression of the signal optical pulse with the frequency-chirp propagated through the dispersive fiber is derived. This expression described the broadening of the pulse in propagating process (broadening factor), which depends on the frequence chirp and dispersive parameters. The influence of those parameters on the pulse broadening is simulated and discussed.
Research of Soil Moisture Retrieval Algorithms for Processing Radiometry Data
Authors: Anh Vo Thi Lan , Chung Doan Minh , Ngoc Ngo Tuan , Kostov K. G. 
Published: April 2018

Since 2012, the experts of Space Technology Institute have carried out the field experiments to obtain a high-resolution dataset of microwave radiometers for land surface parameters (soil moisture, soil temperature, vegetation water content), in order to improve the soil moisture retrieval methodology. L-band radiometers were used for measuring the brightness temperature of the bare soil. Field experiments for passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture were carried out in Hoai Duc District in 2012. L-band microwave radiometers were used for measuring the microwave emission of bare agricultural fields. The radiometers, which are used for soil moisture measurement, worked well during the experimental campaign and produced volumetric soil moisture estimates that compared well with the ground-truth measurements. Explanations for the observed discrepancies are presented. The experimental results showed that the model of Choudhury et al. for surface roughness correction provides a better fit to radiometric data over the angular range between 20° and 50° for \(n = 0\) (i.e., the \(\cos ^{2}\theta\) factor in the exponential in (15) is suppressed). Based on the results of the experiments conducted over two experimental sites with different soils, namely sandy loam at Hoai Duc Agrometeorologyl Center, it may be concluded that the testing of both the radiometric equipment and the method for soil moisture retrieval was very successful, and the main goal of the experiments was fulfilled.
Cross Sections for the \(^{nat}\)Zr\((p,xn)^{89,90}\)Nb Reactions Induced by 27.7 MeV Protons
Authors: Khue Pham Duc , Do Nguyen Van , Anh Le Tuan 
Published: April 2018

The cross-sections for the formation of \(^{89}\)Nb and \(^{90}\)Nb radionuclides in proton induced nuclear reactions on zirconium were measured by using the well known activation method. The natural zirconium (\(^{nat}\)Zr) target and copper (\(^{nat}\)Cu) monitor foils were irradiated by 27.7 MeV proton beam at the MC50 Cyclotron of the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Science (KIRAMS), Korea. The induced gamma activities of the reaction products were measured by a coaxial high purity germanium (HPGe) detector coupled to a PC-based multichannel analyzer. The obtained cross sections for each nuclide are compared with those existing in literature and with the theoretical cross sections calculated by the TALYS - 1.4 code.
Mean-field Study of \(^{12}\)C+\(^{12}\)C Fusion
Authors: Chien Le Hoang , Cuong Do Cong , Khoa Dao Tien 
Published: April 2018

The nuclear mean-field potential arising from the \(^{12}\)C+\(^{12}\)C interaction at the low energies relevant for the astrophysical carbon burning process has been constructed within the double-folding model, using the realistic nuclear ground-state density of the \(^{12}\)C nucleus and the effective M3Y nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction constructed from the G-matrix of the Paris (free) NN potential. To explore the nuclear medium effect, both the original density independent M3Y-Paris interaction and its density dependent CDM3Y6 version have been used in the folding model calculation of the \(^{12}\)C+\(^{12}\)C potential. The folded potentials at the different energies were used in the optical model description of the elastic \cc\ scattering at the energies around and below the Coulomb barrier, as well as in the barrier penetration model to estimate the fusion cross section and astrophysical $S$ factor of the \(^{12}\)C+\(^{12}\)C reactions at the low energies. The obtained results are in a good agreement with experimental data over a wide range of energies.
Kinetic mixing in models with an extra Abelian gauge symmetry
Authors: Tran Hieu Minh 
Published: April 2018

The Lagrangian of a theory possessing two Abelian gauge symmetries may contains a gauge kinetic mixing term without violating any known symmetries. In this paper, the formulation of theories extended by an additional Abelian gauge symmetry in the superfield formalism is presented. By rotating in the space of the gauge fields, the gauge kinetic mixing term can be eliminated, and the relevant charge and coupling are shifted in comparison with the original quantities. This process is valid for both theories with or without supersymmetry. We demonstrate, for example, the effect of the gauge kinetic mixing term in the case of the U(1) extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Various physical observables are computed for a given benchmark point. We find that the gauge kinetic mixing is important for the model to predict the observables in a good agreement with experimental data.
