GRAVAMINA CONSCIENTIAE. FISCALIT�, DIRITTO E TEOLOGIA NELLA SPAGNA DEL SIGLO DE ORO. RICERCHE INTORNO ALLA SCUOLA DI SALAMANCA
Creators: name: RUSSELLO, SIMONA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: This work reconstructs the main thought of the School of Salamanca with reference to the theme of tax imposition through the analyze of main Treaties such as De iustitia et iure, Consilia, Relectiones, commentaries to San Tommaso? Secunda Saecundae, manuals for confessors, quaestiones De iure bello, cartas and Consejos about the India?s Government. We would like to know whether and which contribution theologians ?jurists belonging to the second scholasticism could offer to the Spanish Crown for the organization and management of a ? modern? and efficient fiscal system. We found magistri who were sensible interpreters of their times, who paid attention to the fiscal reasons and at the same time strict guardian of the justice application, in that world, through the instrument of right- of iustum ius. We reached the American coasts where Justinian sources, as interpreted by medieval jurists and as used by our theologians, demonstrated the ability to manage a government of ?things never seen? , making possible a connection between far coasts. The School of Salamanca, then, as explained by its main characters, managed to offer a good instrument of control of subjects on one hand (by affirming the moral obligation of fiscal laws); and it maintained the role of Church in taking care of things of this world, on the other hand (as long as indicating the right conditions for justice, the excommunication for the ones who break them, the use of censor as suggested in bulla in Coena Domini , the acknowledgment of the central role of theologians and confessors as interpreters of a proper fiscal obligations and experts to solve any doubt). Finally, it was able to maintain and express a deep desire for freedom that recent conquests (of men, things and earths) put away towards the old world, on a field, the fiscal one, that is central and ambivalent for the political speech, where we saw old and new conflicts coming out.

description: We investigate exotic neutrino interactions using the 205.4 kg$\cdot$day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. New constraints on the mass and couplings of new gauge bosons are presented. Two nonstandard neutrino interactions are considered: a $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge-boson-induced interaction between an active neutrino and electron/nucleus, and a dark-photon-induced interaction between a sterile neutrino and electron/nucleus via kinetic mixing with a photon. This work probes an unexplored parameter space involving sterile neutrino coupling with a dark photon. New laboratory limits are derived on dark photon masses below $1~{\rm eV}/c^{2}$ at some benchmark values of $Δm_{41}^{2}$ and $g^{\prime2}{\rm{sin}}^{2}2θ_{14}$.

EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATIONS AND LABOR MARKET POLICIES IN GERMANY AND ITALY
Creators: name: PANCALDI, FEDERICO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: To what extent did globalization generate uniform employers' pressures for employment protection deregulation and welfare state retrenchment? Which institutional arrangements did employers support and how did they influence policy-making processes in comparative perspective? This work answers these questions by investigating the positions of peak employers associations in Germany and Italy with respect to the reform processes of employment protection legislation and unemployment insurance systems between 1990 and 2008. Building on a theoretical distinction of the policy preferences of different employers groups in postindustrial economies, this research finds that relevant intra-business divides emerged during key reform events mainly between employers in small firms and in the low-productivity sectors and core manufacturing producers. In both countries, the point of contention was not whether to change inherited 'industrial' institutions but rather how to change them. Everywhere, small-firm employers struggled to gain as low levels of job protection and contribution rates to unemployment insurance as possible, whereas core producers indeed tended to advocate for more moderate adjustments. Research findings emphasize the growing influence of small business demands as a consequence of postindustrial economic-structural changes, and suggests that dual reform outputs are intrinsically associated with the development of service-based economies. Two variables are however found shaping different policy arrangements mainly with respect to dismissal protection and unemployment insurance systems in Germany and Italy. On one side, the distributional outcomes of industrial policy structures spurred stronger discontentment with existing labor market institutions among German small-firm employers than among Italian employers. On the other hand, different peak associational systems were conducive to different capacities of employers to organize collective action. An encompassing system facilitated intra-business coordination and the predominance of a 'logic of influence' vis-�-vis other actors in Germany. By contrast, a fragmented associational system incentivized competing positions between different business segments in Italy and oriented them to pursue particularistic reform objectives, consistently with a 'logic of membership'.

description: Understanding ballistic phonon transport effects in transient thermoreflectance experiments and explaining the observed deviations from classical theory remains a challenge. Diffusion equations are simple and computationally efficient but are widely believed to break down when the characteristic length scale is similar or less than the phonon mean-free-path. Building on our prior work, we demonstrate how well-known diffusion equations, namely the hyperbolic heat equation and the Cattaneo equation, can be used to model ballistic phonon effects in frequency-dependent periodic steady-state thermal transport. Our analytical solutions are found to compare excellently to rigorous numerical results of the phonon Boltzmann transport equation. The correct physical boundary conditions can be different from those traditionally used and are paramount for accurately capturing ballistic effects. To illustrate the technique, we consider a simple model problem using two different, commonly-used heating conditions. We demonstrate how this framework can easily handle detailed material properties, by considering the case of bulk silicon using a full phonon dispersion and mean-free-path distribution. This physically transparent approach provides clear insights into the nonequilibrium physics of quasi-ballistic phonon transport and its impact on thermal transport properties.

description: Accurate and repeated photometric follow-up observations of planetary-transit events are important to precisely characterize the physical properties of exoplanets. A good knowledge of the main characteristics of the exoplanets is fundamental to trace their origin and evolution. Multi-band photometric observations play an important role in this process. By using new photometric data, we computed precise estimates of the physical properties of two transiting planetary systems. We present new broad-band, multi-colour, photometric observations obtained using three small class telescopes and the telescope-defocussing technique. For each of the two targets, one transit event was simultaneously observed through four optical filters. One transit of WASP-48 b was monitored with two telescopes from the same observatory. The physical parameters of the systems were obtained by fitting the transit light curves with {\sc jktebop} and from published spectroscopic measurements. We have revised the physical parameters of the two planetary systems, finding a smaller radius for both HAT-P-23 b and WASP-48 b, $R_{b}=1.224 \pm 0.037 R_{Jup}$ and $R_{b}=1.396 \pm 0.051 \, R_{Jup}$, respectively, than those measured in the discovery papers ($R_{b}=1.368 \pm 0.090 R_{Jup}$ and $R_{b}=1.67 \pm 0.10 R_{Jup}$). The density of the two planets are higher than those previously published ($ρ_{b}$ ~1.1 and ~0.3 $ρ_{jup}$ for HAT-P-23 and WASP-48 respectively) hence the two Hot Jupiters are no longer located in a parameter space region of highly inflated planets. An analysis of the variation of the planet's measured radius as a function of optical wavelength reveals flat transmission spectra within the experimental uncertainties. We also confirm the presence of the eclipsing contact binary NSVS-3071474 in the same field of view of WASP-48, for which we refine the value of the period to be 0.459 d.

 da (Savigny, 1818) and Notomastus mossambicus (Thomassin, 1970), were new to the Mediterranean fauna, 19 species new
 to the eastern Mediterranean fauna, 90 species new to the Levant fauna and 209 species new to the Cypriot fauna, bringing
 the total number of taxa known from Cyprus to 456 species. A total of 11 polychaete species, which were previously regar-
 ded as Lessepsian species, were encountered, of which 7 are being newly reported for the first time along the coast of
 Cyprus. Two species new to the Mediterranean Sea, which could also be Lessepsian species as they have Indo-Pacific dis-
 tributions, were re-described and discussed.

description: Definition of an accurate system model for Automated Planner (AP) is often impractical, especially for real-world problems. Conversely, off-the-shelf planners fail to scale up and are domain dependent. These drawbacks are inherited from conventional transition systems such as Finite State Machines (FSMs) that describes the action-plan execution generated by the AP. On the other hand, Behavior Trees (BTs) represent a valid alternative to FSMs presenting many advantages in terms of modularity, reactiveness, scalability and domain-independence. In this paper, we propose a model-free AP framework using Genetic Programming (GP) to derive an optimal BT for an autonomous agent to achieve a given goal in unknown (but fully observable) environments. We illustrate the proposed framework using experiments conducted with an open source benchmark Mario AI for automated generation of BTs that can play the game character Mario to complete a certain level at various levels of difficulty to include enemies and obstacles.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a new interferometry paradigm: a self-interfering clock. We split a clock into two spatially separated wave packets, and observe an interference pattern with a stable phase showing that the splitting was coherent, i.e., the clock was in two places simultaneously. We then make the clock wave packets "tick" at different rates to simulate a proper time lag. The entanglement between the clock's time and its path yields "which path" information, which affects the visibility of the clock's self-interference. By contrast, in standard interferometry, time cannot yield "which path" information. As a clock we use an atom prepared in a superposition of two spin states. This first proof-of-principle experiment may have far-reaching implications for the study of time and general relativity and their impact on fundamental quantum effects such as decoherence and wave packet collapse.

description: The Renewable Energy Directive of the EU has represented a key driver for the uptake of renewable energy resources for electricity in Europe. However, there are several countries and regions within the EU where the uptake of renewables for electricity have been comparatively low so far. Current technological innovation provides opportunities for decentralised RES systems of production and energy storage that enable the rise of new collective forms of energy citizenship. The “Clean Energy for all Europeans” package puts consumers at the heart of EU energy policies; the recast Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) includes new provisions for RES community energy empowering them to participate in the energy market. There is a need to re-align national and regional policy frameworks and support schemes with RED II. Member States have to transpose the definitions, rights and duties of renewable energy communities (RECs) pursuant to RED II and provide an enabling framework to promote and facilitate their development” (see Article 22(4) of the RED II), Furthermore, RED II requires that Member States “carry out an assessment of the existing barriers and potential of development” of RECs (Article 22(3)), COME RES and specifically the deliverable at hand aim to inform and support Member States in accomplishing this task. Deliverable 2.2 includes rough assessments of the potentials for RECs in the COME RES target regions. These assessments rely on a common methodology and take into consideration the specific climate, energy, technological and socio-economic conditions. They are based on a cascade approach: starting from the technical RES potential (e.g. based on data such as available land, rooftop areas, housing types, climatic conditions) or politically agreed targets, an estimate is made about the fraction of this potential that could be particularly suitable to be 'unlocked' by community approaches.

description: We consider the real topological string on certain non-compact toric Calabi-Yau three-folds X, in its physical realization describing an orientifold of type IIA on X with an O4-plane and a single D4-brane stuck on top. The orientifold can be regarded as a new kind of surface operator on the gauge theory with 8 supercharges arising from the singular geometry. We use the M-theory lift of this system to compute the real Gopakumar-Vafa invariants (describing wrapped M2-brane BPS states) for diverse geometries. We show that the real topological string amplitudes pick up certain signs across flop transitions, in a well-defined pattern consistent with continuity of the real BPS invariants. We further give some preliminary proposals of an intrinsically gauge theoretical description of the effect of the surface operator in the gauge theory partition function.

description: Signalling is of particular importance in immune cells, and upstream in the signalling pathway many membrane receptors are functional only as complexes, co-locating with particular lipid species. Work over the last 15 years has shown that plasma membrane lipid composition is close to a critical point of phase separation, with evidence that cells adapt their composition in ways that alter the proximity to this thermodynamic point. Macrophage cells are a key component of the innate immune system, are responsive to infections and regulate regulating the local state of inflammation. We investigate changes in the plasma membrane’s proximity to the critical point as a response to stimulation by various pro- and anti-inflammatory agents. Pro-inflammatory (interferon-γ, Kdo 2-Lipid A, lipopolysaccharide) perturbations induce an increase in the transition temperature of giant plasma membrane vesicles; anti-inflammatory interleukin 4 has the opposite effect. These changes recapitulate complex plasma membrane composition changes, and are consistent with lipid criticality playing a master regulatory role: being closer to critical conditions increases membrane protein activity.

description: There is growing awareness that dyspnoea, like pain, is a multidimensional experience, but measurement instruments have not kept pace. The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) assesses overall breathing discomfort, sensory qualities, and emotional responses in laboratory and clinical settings. Here we provide the MDP, review published evidence regarding its measurement properties and discuss its use and interpretation. The MDP assesses dyspnoea during a specific time or a particular activity (focus period) and is designed to examine individual items that are theoretically aligned with separate mechanisms. In contrast, other multidimensional dyspnoea scales assess recalled recent dyspnoea over a period of days using aggregate scores.

description: Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) catalyzes phosphatidylcholine synthesis. PEMT knockout mice have fatty livers, and it is possible that, in humans, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) might be associated with PEMT gene polymorphisms. DNA samples from 59 humans without fatty liver and from 28 humans with NAFLD were genotyped for a single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 8 of PEMT which leads to a V175M substitution. V175M is a loss of function mutation, as determined by transiently transfecting McArdle-RH7777 cells with constructs of wildtype PEMT open reading frame or the V175M mutant. Met/Met at residue 175 (loss of function SNP) occurred in 67.9% of the NAFLD subjects and in only 40.7% of control subjects (p< 0.03). For the first time we report that a polymorphism of the human PEMT gene (V175M) is associated with diminished activity and may confer susceptibility to NAFLD.

description: An adiabatic state preparation technique, called the adiabatic spiral, is proposed for the Heisenberg model. This technique is suitable for implementation on a number of quantum simulation platforms such as Rydberg atoms, trapped ions, or superconducting qubits. Classical simulations of small systems suggest that it can be successfully implemented in the near future. A comparison to Trotterized time evolution is performed and it is shown that the adiabatic spiral is able to outperform Trotterized adiabatics.

description: Previous studies show that acute choline deficiency (CD) triggers apoptosis in cultured rat hepatocytes (CWSV-1 cells). We demonstrate that prolonged EGF stimulation (10 ng/mL x 48 hrs) restores cell proliferation, as assessed by BrdU labeling, and protects cells from CD-induced apoptosis, as assessed by TUNEL labeling and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. However, EGF rescue was not accompanied by restoration of depleted intracellular concentrations of choline, glycerphosphocholine, phosphocholine, or phosphatidylcholine. In contrast, we show that EGF stimulation blocks apoptosis by restoring mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), as determined using the potential-sensitive dye chloromethyl-X-rosamine, and by preventing the release and nuclear localization of cytochrome c. We investigated whether EGF rescue involves EGF receptor phosphorylation and activation of the down-stream cell survival factor Akt. Compared to cells in control medium (CT, 70 μmol choline x 48hrs), cells in CD medium (5 μmol choline) were less sensitive to EGF-induced (0–300 ng/mL x 5 min) receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. Compared to cells in CT medium, cells in CD medium treated with EGF (10 ng/mL x 5 min) exhibited higher levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent phosphorylation of AktSer473. Inactivation of PI3K was sufficient to block EGF-stimulated activation of Akt, restoration of mitochondrial ΔΨm, and prevention of cytochrome c release. These studies indicate that stimulation with EGF activates a cell survival response against CD-apoptosis by restoring mitochondrial membrane potential and preventing cytochrome c release and nuclear translocation which are mediated by activation of Akt in hepatocytes.

description: A numerical and systematic parameter study of three-dimensional vesicle electrohydrodynamics is presented to investigate the effects of different fluid and membrane properties. The dynamics of vesicles in the presence of DC electric fields is considered, both in the presence and absence of linear shear flow. For suspended vesicles it is shown that the conductivity ratio and viscosity ratio between the interior and exterior fluids, as well as the vesicle membrane capacitance, substantially affect the minimum electric field strength required to induce a full Prolate-Oblate-Prolate transition.In addition, there exists a critical electric field strength above which a vesicle will no longer tumble when exposed to linear shear flow.

Bacterioplankton growth on extracellular organic carbon from marine microalgal cultures

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2005

description: Marine bacterial growth on extracellular organic carbon (EOC) of Chlorella minutissima, Dunaliella tertiolecta
 and Chaetoceros gracilis was studied. EOC was retrieved after filtration of optimum growing algal cultures at the middle
 of the exponential growth phase and the stationary phase. The filtrates were inoculated with natural marine bacterial assem-
 blages. The batch cultures were monitored for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, bacterial yield, biomass and
 oxygen respiration over a period 3.5-10 days. The overall bacterial response was statistically different between the algal
 species origin of EOC and between the two growth phases for each species. These differences were also found for DOC
 normalised values suggesting that they were due to qualitative differences of the EOC. The highest bacterial yield was indu-
 ced by the EOC originating from D. tertiolecta and the lowest by the C. minutissima EOC. Oxygen respiration followed
 the same pattern with significantly higher values in the cultures with D. tertiolecta and C. gracilis stationary phase EOC.
 DOC degradation rate, utilisable DOC, bacterial growth rate and bacterial growth efficiency was different between the EOC
 from the exponential and stationary phase of algal growth, only in the case of C. gracilis. Of all the algal species studied
 here, it seems that the exponential C. gracilis EOC is more labile for marine bacteria.

description: In this paper we consider the Boltzmann equation modelling the motion of a polyatomic gas where the integration collision operator in comparison with the classical one involves an additional internal energy variable $I\in\mathbb{R}_+$ and a parameter $δ\geq 2$ standing for the degree of freedom. In perturbation framework, we establish the global well-posedness for bounded mild solutions near global equilibria on torus. The proof is based on the $L^2\cap L^\infty$ approach. Precisely, we first study the $L^2$ decay property for the linearized equation, then use the iteration technique for the linear integral operator to get the linear weighted $L^\infty$ decay, and in the end obtain $L^\infty$ bounds as well as exponential time decay of solutions for the nonlinear problem with the help of the Duhamel's principle. Throughout the proof, we present a careful analysis for treating the extra effect of internal energy variable $I$ and the parameter $δ$.

Floquet-Magnus Theory and Generic Transient Dynamics in Periodically Driven Many-Body Quantum Systems

description: This work explores a fundamental dynamical structure for a wide range of many-body quantum systems under periodic driving. Generically, in the thermodynamic limit, such systems are known to heat up to infinite temperature states after infinite-time evolution, irrespective of dynamical details. In the present study, instead of considering infinitely long-time scale, we aim to provide a framework to understand the long but finite time behavior, namely the transient dynamics. In the analysis, we focus on the Floquet-Magnus (FM) expansion that gives a formal expression of the effective Hamiltonian on the system. Although in general the full series expansion is not convergent in the thermodynamics limit, we give a clear relationship between the FM expansion and the transient dynamics. More precisely, we rigorously show that a truncated version of the FM expansion accurately describes the exact dynamics for a finite-time scale. Our result reveals a reliable time scale of the validity of the FM expansion, which can be comparable to the experimental time scale. Furthermore, we discuss several dynamical phenomena, such as the effect of small integrability breaking, efficient numerical simulation of periodically driven systems, dynamical localization and thermalization. Especially on thermalization, we discuss generic scenario of the prethermalization phenomenon in periodically driven systems.

Taxonomy of Oncaeidae (Copepoda: Cyclopoida) from the Red Sea. VII. Oncaea cristata, a new species related to the ovaliscomplex, and a revision of O. ovalis Shmeleva and O. bathyalis Shmeleva from the Mediterranean

description: A new small species of oncaeid copepod, Oncaea cristata, is described from the mesopelagic zone of the Red
 Sea. The species is characterized by a very small outer distal spine on the endopods of swimming legs 2 and 3, being shor-
 ter than the terminal conical projection on the distal segment. Females of an oncaeid species sharing this distinct morpho-
 logical character were described by Shmeleva (1969) from the Adriatic Sea under the name O. ovalis. However, the original
 description of O. ovalis by Shmeleva (1966), based on male specimens from the same area, exhibits distinct differences in
 the proportional spine lengths on swimming legs 2 and 3, suggesting that two different species may have been described
 under this name. Since the type material of O. ovalis is no longer extant, new material from the mesopelagic zone in the
 southern Adriatic Sea was examined during the present study in an attempt to clarify the taxonomic confusion surrounding
 ovalis-type oncaeids. Both sexes of three different ovalis-type oncaeids were found in the Adriatic, which are distinguished
 by distinct differences in endopodal spine lengths on legs 2 and 3: ovalis-type 1 is assigned to O. ovalis Shmeleva, 1966,
 based on (1) outer distal spine longer than the terminal conical projection on legs 2 and 3, and (2) outer distal spine equal
 in length to the distal spine on leg 2; ovalis-type 2 is characterized by very short outer distal spines on the endopods of leg
 2 and 3, being shorter than the terminal conical projection in both legs and is described here as a new species, O. crypta sp.
 nov. being conspecific with O. ovalis sensu Shmeleva (1969) (female only); ovalis-type 3 is similar to the male of O.
 bathyalis sensu Shmeleva (1969), however, differences in the endopodal spine lengths between the two sexes in Shmeleva´s
 (1968) original description of the female and her subsequent redescription of both sexes in 1969 render it virtually impos-
 sible to make any positive statement as to the identity of genuine O. bathyalis

description: Humans eating diets deficient in the essential nutrient choline can develop organ dysfunction. We hypothesized that common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in choline metabolism influence the dietary requirement of this nutrient. Fifty-seven humans were fed a low choline diet until they developed organ dysfunction or for up to 42 days. We tested DNA SNPs for allelic association with susceptibility to developing organ dysfunction associated with choline deficiency. We identified an SNP in the promoter region of the phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase gene (PEMT; −744 G→C; rs12325817) for which 18 of 23 carriers of the C allele (78%) developed organ dysfunction when fed a low choline diet (odds ratio 25, P=0.002). The first of two SNPs in the coding region of the choline dehydrogenase gene (CHDH; +318 A→C; rs9001) had a protective effect on susceptibility to choline deficiency, while a second CHDH variant (+432 G→T; rs12676) was associated with increased susceptibility to choline deficiency. A SNP in the PEMT coding region (+5465 G→A; rs7946) and a betaine:homocysteine methyl-transferase (BHMT) SNP (+742 G→A; rs3733890) were not associated with susceptibility to choline deficiency. Identification of common polymorphisms that affect dietary requirements for choline could enable us to identify individuals for whom we need to assure adequate dietary choline intake.—da Costa, K.-A., Kozyreva, O.

description: The Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory describes the low-energy excitations of strongly correlated one-dimensional (1D) fermions. In the past years, a number of studies have provided a detailed understanding of this universality class. More recently, theoretical investigations that go beyond the standard low-temperature, linear-response, TLL regime have been developed. While these provide a basis for understanding the dynamics of the spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid, there are few experimental investigations in this regime. Here we report the observation of a thermally-induced, spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid in a $^6$Li atomic Fermi gas confined to 1D. We use Bragg spectroscopy to measure the suppression of spin-charge separation and the decay of correlations as the temperature is increased. Our results probe the crossover between the coherent and incoherent regimes of the Luttinger liquid, and elucidate the roles of the charge and the spin degrees of freedom in this regime.
