description: The collection of data and their management remain a never-ending challenge within projects carried out in low-income countries. Data collection requires high investments, and even if great efforts have been done in building tools for data sharing, these processes need to be improved at local level in developing countries. Data are valuable items for developing strategies leading to more effective local development. The CeTAmb LAB, on the basis of its experience, proposes a reflection on the role of the academia, which is based on principles of capacity building and sharing knowledge, in promoting the importance of data collection, conservation and sharing.

Various metrics with different kinds of singular orbits can be constructed by our methods. It turns out that the holonomy of our metrics is automatically SU(4) and that they are asymptotically conical. Moreover, we investigate the smoothness of the metrics at the singular orbit.

description: A manifold with an arbitrary affine connection is considered and the geodesic spray associated with the connection is studied in the presence of a Lie group action. In particular, results are obtained that provide insight into the structure of the reduced dynamics associated with the given invariant affine connection. The geometry of the frame bundle of the given manifold is used to provide an intrinsic description of the geodesic spray. A fundamental relationship between the geodesic spray, the tangent lift and the vertical lift of the symmetric product is obtained, which provides a key to understanding reduction in this formulation.

Helicobacter pylori tunnistamine sagedaste maohaiguste peamiseks etioloogiliseks teguriks muutis täielikult nende haiguste ravi põhimõtteid ning andis võimaluse seni kroonilise kuluga haiguste edukaks raviks ja ennetamiseks. Lisaks suurele kliinilisele tähtsusele on Helicobacter pylori uuringud liitnud koostööks erinevaid baasteaduste valdkondi (immunoloogid, mikrobioloogid, molekulaarbioloogid, patoloogid) ja kliinilise meditsiini erialasid. Helicobacter pylori uurimiseks on loodud riikide ja erialade vahelised koostöörühmad.

Velocity of sound in solid iodine
Creators: name: Leith, Marshall Montgomery
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The pulse technique was employed to measure velocities of longitudinal and transverse mechanical waves in solid iodine at ultrasonic frequencies. Pulses were produced and their echoes displayed by a Sperry Ultrasonic Attenuator Comparator. Transducers for generating the waves were: longitudinal waves, X-cut quartz crystals of 5 and 12 Mcs.; transverse waves, Y-cut quartz crystal of. 5 Mcs. For longitudinal measurements the sample was immersed in baths of liquid helium, liquid nitrogen, solid carbon dioxide, ice, ambient room temperature, and boiling water. No dispersion was found. Four samples were used, but as iodine is anisotropic in many of its physical properties most attention was paid to two amorphous samples which were thought to give representative average values of the properties of iodine. From the values of longitudinal velocity, Young's modulus was calculated. Transverse velocity measurements were made in baths of liquid helium, liquid nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and ambient room temperature. The shear, modulus was determined from the transverse velocity; compressibility was found from Young's modulus and the shear modulus. All these quantities behave much as would be expected of a solid material. The Debye characteristic temperature calculated from the longitudinal and transverse velocities was compared with values calculated from specific heat data and Lindemann melting point formula.

We find that the result agrees remarkably well with the predictions of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model in all channels. We choose the quenched lattice QCD, since it is closer to the large-Nc limit of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We also show how transversity information, relevant for the light-cone physics, can be obtained from our equal-time rest-frame lattice calculations.

description: A semiclassical mechanism which suppresses the weak anisotropies of an inhomogeneous cosmological model is developed. In particular, a wave function of this Universe having a meaningful probabilistic interpretation is obtained that is in agreement with the Copenhagen School. It describes the evolution of the anisotropies with respect to the isotropic scale factor which is regarded as a semiclassical variable playing an observer-like role. Near the cosmological singularity the solution spreads over all values of the anisotropies while, when the Universe expands sufficiently, the closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model appears to be the favorite state.

description: We give an explicit formula for the effective partition function of a harmonically bound particle minimally coupled to a photon field in the dipole approximation. The effective partition function is shown to be the Laplace transform of a positive Borel measure, the effective measure of states. The absolutely continuous part of the latter allows for an analytic continuation, the singularities of which give rise to resonances. We give the precise location of these singularities, and show that they are well approximated by of first order poles with residues equal the multiplicities of the corresponding eigenspaces of the uncoupled quantum oscillator. Thus we obtain a complete analytic description of the natural line spectrum of the charged oscillator.

The pillar of this ecosystem is the good management of the palm grove, which allows the establishment of a three-layer structure and of a microclimate favourable for agriculture. Nowadays oases ecosystem is at risk, endangered by climate changes and economic and social factors and the poor management of the palm grove,caused by lack of human and material resources,is the main cause of its’ collapsing. The introduction of small mechanization can provide tools to invigorate this farming system and attract young people in the agricultural sector.

description: By computing spin-polarized electronic transport across a finite zigzag graphene ribbon bridging two metallic graphene electrodes, we demonstrate, as a proof of principle, that devices featuring 100% magnetoresistance can be built entirely out of carbon. In the ground state a short zig-zag ribbon is an antiferromagnetic insulator which, when connecting two metallic electrodes, acts as a tunnel barrier that suppresses the conductance. Application of a magnetic field turns the ribbon ferromagnetic and conducting, increasing dramatically the current between electrodes. We predict large magnetoresistance in this system at liquid nitrogen temperature and 10 Tesla or at liquid helium temperature and 300 Gauss.

St Damien Hospital in Port-au-Prince required a medicine based on hydroxyurea to treat pediatric patients. Since there is no specific formulation on the market, in the context of the A.P.P.A.® Project at the University of Turin, a galenic formulation was studied along with a method to assess its quality and its stability over time. The medicine was introduced on site following the training of local staff and it is now dispensed to nearly 50 patients.

Geometric Phases of Two Ising-interacting Spins in a Rotating Magnetic Field
Creators: name: Shi, Yu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider how to obtain a nontrivial two-qubit unitary transformation purely based on geometric phases of two spin-1/2's with Ising-like interaction in a magnetic field with a static z-component and a rotating xy-component. This is an interesting problem both for the purpose of measuring the geometric phases and in quantum computing applications. In previous approach, coupling of one of the qubit with the rotating component of field is ignored. By considering the exact two-spin geometric phases, we find that a nontrivial two-spin unitary transformation purely based on Berry phases can be obtained by using two consecutive cycles with opposite directions of the magnetic field and opposite signs of the interaction constant. In the nonadiabatic case, starting with a certain initial state, a cycle in the projected space of rays and thus Aharonov-Anandan phase can be achieved. The two-cycle scheme cancels the total phases, hence any unknown initial state evolves back to itself without a phase factor.

description: Droughts and floods caused by climate changes impoverish rural regions and as a consequence people leave rural areas, reinforcing existing migration trends in a downward cycle.Local people movements are the first effect of the climate changes, that modify the main environmental resources. In this framework, vulnerability and resilience analysis are sound tools to identify the most critical situations. In this work, the data obtained by a survey conducted by an NGO in three Ethiopian Woredas were the input for the incapacity to adapt calculation. The index mapping highlighted a critical situation especially in one of the three analyzed Woredas.

description: In this paper we study the formation and dynamics of self-propelled cavity solitons (CSs) in a model for vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) subjected to external frequency selective feedback (FSF), and build their bifurcation diagram for the case where carrier dynamics is eliminated. For low pump currents, we find that they emerge from the modulational instability point of the trivial solution, where traveling waves with a critical wavenumber are formed. For large currents, the branch of self-propelled solitons merges with the branch of resting solitons via a pitchfork bifurcation. We also show that a feedback phase variation of 2πcan transform a CS (whether resting or moving) into a different one associated to an adjacent longitudinal external cavity mode. Finally, we investigate the influence of the carrier dynamics, relevant for VCSELs. We find and analyze qualitative changes in the stability properties of resting CSs when increasing the carrier relaxation time. In addition to a drifting instability of resting CSs, a new kind of instability appears for certain ranges of carrier lifetime, leading to a swinging motion of the CS center position. Furthermore, for carrier relaxation times typical of VCSELs the system can display multistability of CSs.

description: Highly visible sobriety checkpoint programs have been shown to be an effective method of reducing alcohol-related driving crashes (Elder et al., 2002). However, the use of checkpoints is prohibited in 12 States, including Washington. These States have tested other alternatives, including highly visible saturation patrols. In November 2006, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) sponsored the Nighttime Emphasis Enforcement Team (NEET) pilot project in Snohomish County. The goal of the NEET pilot project was to reduce serious injuries and fatalities due to impaired driving through the deployment of a fully dedicated team of Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers concentrating on nighttime enforcement of impaired driving. NEET troopers were not responsible for responding to calls for service. Rather, they were assigned exclusively to NEET teams.

description: A major goal in optomechanics is to observe and control quantum behavior in a system consisting of a mechanical resonator coupled to an optical cavity. Work towards this goal has focused on increasing the strength of the coupling between the mechanical and optical degrees of freedom; however, the form of this coupling is crucial in determining which phenomena can be observed in such a system. Here we demonstrate that avoided crossings in the spectrum of an optical cavity containing a flexible dielectric membrane allow us to realize several different forms of the optomechanical coupling. These include cavity detunings that are (to lowest order) linear, quadratic, or quartic in the membrane's displacement, and a cavity finesse that is linear in (or independent of) the membrane's displacement. All these couplings are realized in a single device with extremely low optical loss and can be tuned over a wide range in situ; in particular, we find that the quadratic coupling can be increased three orders of magnitude beyond previous devices. As a result of these advances, the device presented here should be capable of demonstrating the quantization of the membrane's mechanical energy.

description: Rural-to-urban migration and sustained natural population growth in Africa, if not properly addressed, may pose serious threat to ecosystems and human wellbeing, both locally and afar. Novel concepts and operative approaches are needed to better frame these challenges and support local decision-making processes, to promote sustainable development. Indeed, this is a key area in which the Academia can make a significant contribution, for example, exploring innovative concepts and developing related approaches to support decision-making processes at a local scale. This paper focuses on the urban water sector as an informative example, ultimately aiming to highlight key areas in which research can provide concrete and valuable assistance. More specifically, we introduce two innovative concepts, i.e. ecosystem services and boundary work; hence propose an operative approach to support the process of design and assessment of the impact of watershed investments. To illustrate real-life implementation of the approach in a data scarce context in sub-Saharan Africa, we consider as a case study soil erosion and water scarcity-related challenges affecting Asmara, a medium-sized city in Eritrea. Accordingly, we adopt urban water security and rural poverty alleviation as two illustrative objectives, within a ten-year planning horizon. The case study application resulted in spatially explicit outputs that inform decision-making processes. By timely addressing stakeholders' concerns of credibility, saliency, and legitimacy, the proposed approach is expected to facilitate negotiation of objectives, definition of scenarios, and assessment of alternative watershed investments. Above all, and beyond the urban water sector, the case study application helps highlighting key areas in which the academic work can make concrete contribution mainly in terms of knowledge transfer and capacity building.

description: Empirical studies on the spatial structures in several real transport networks reveal that the distance distribution in these networks obeys power law. To discuss the influence of the power-law exponent on the network's structure and function, a spatial network model is proposed. Based on a regular network and subject to a limited cost $C$, long range connections are added with power law distance distribution $P(r)=ar^{-δ}$. Some basic topological properties of the network with different $δ$ are studied. It is found that the network has the smallest average shortest path when $δ=2$. Then a traffic model on this network is investigated. It is found that the network with $δ=1.5$ is best for the traffic process. All of these results give us some deep understandings about the relationship between spatial structure and network function.

description: We report on inelastic neutron scattering measurements that find incommensurate itinerant like magnetic excitations in the normal state of superconducting FeTe$_{0.6}$Se$_{0.4}$ (\Tc=14K) at wave-vector $\mathbf{Q}_{inc}=(1/2\pmε,1/2\mpε)$ with $ε$=0.09(1). In the superconducting state only the lower energy part of the spectrum shows significant changes by the formation of a gap and a magnetic resonance that follows the dispersion of the normal state excitations. We use a four band model to describe the Fermi surface topology of iron-based superconductors with the extended $s(\pm)$ symmetry and find that it qualitatively captures the salient features of these data.

description: This contribution presents the case study of S(P)EEDKITS, a four-year collaborative research project co-funded within the Seventh Framework Programme, activity: Security (SEC-2011.4.2-3, grant agreement no. 284931). The project involved 15 European partners including humanitarian organizations, research centers, academia and private enterprises, for the development of rapid deployable, modular and lightweight kits toimplementthe Emergency Response Units (ERUs) already in use by humanitarian organizations for emergency response. This article focuses on the knowledge transfer in a systemic design process, with a multidisciplinary and horizontal approach. The paper goes through in particular the activities carried out by the Politecnico di Milano, which was directly committed in the design of packaging and modularity of the ERUs.

Dynamics of a Z-pinch discharge in Argon.
Creators: name: Daughney, Cecil Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A discussion of probe measurement of the magnetic field in a plasma is presented with particular reference to the perturbation of the magnetic field caused by the probe. A correction procedure is developed to compensate for this perturbation. Using magnetic probes, radial variation of the current density distributions are obtained for an argon plasma in a z-pinch discharge. Initial argon pressures of 100, 250, and 500 μHg are investigated. The current density distributions are determined for 1 μsec intervals between the initiation of the discharge and the occurrence of the first pinch. These current density distributions are compared with photographic observations. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the snowplow model and the shock wave model. Mathematically, the non-linear snowplow equation is solved using an approximation technique which results in analytic solutions. The shock wave equation is solved by a graphical technique. An extension of the shock wave model is proposed for a better understanding of the experimental results.

description: Within the framework of the international debate focusing on experiences emerging from cities in the global North, this paper aims to explore urban food policies under the lens of a global South perspective, paying particular attention to African cities and taking into account the common elements they present -compared with other urban contexts and territories- but also the specificities and uniqueness of them with respect to the process of urbanization and the linkages existing amongst cities and food. Urban food policies are powerful institutional actions, able to build more sustainable food systems of contemporary cities. These innovative policies are designed with a systemic and cross-sectoral approach, capable of acting at the intersection of different issues and fields such as water, waste, planning, health, transport, education, environment, trade, but also food and nutrition security, self-sufficiency and food sovereignty. We will describe an overview of initiatives developed in African cities, in view of the values stemming from the New Urban Agenda and the recommended actions by the recent Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, as an inspiring and propelling opportunity for new forms of territorial partnerships which could promote new types of cooperation amongst cities, universities, research bodies and civil society organizations from global North and South. Our research follows also the broader Italian development agenda. Under this light we will describe the mobilization of a number of institutional actors towards enhancing collaboration with the African context, drawing a geography of priorities, places and initiatives that are being activated in this field. The paper will identify a series of cross-cutting issues (such as land tenure, climate change, urban agriculture, rural-urban migration, waste management) to create a set of interpretative geographies, comparing cases across different African perspectives (for instance, environmental and socio-cultural) to identify common grounds and regional features.

description: Within wider criticalthoughts on and inside international cooperation, in this contribution some reflections are made about possible approaches to evaluate the effects of cooperation actions onto recipient populations. Starting from an experience of academically-led indepententcooperation in a rural internal area of El Salvador, Central America, a debate is stimulated on how international cooperation can avoid forcing the beneficiary populations, and instead really and solely serve the interests of the recipients: their strategic empowerment and – above all – their self-determination.

description: Hastings recently provided a proof of the existence of channels which violate the additivity conjecture for minimal output entropy. In this paper we present an expanded version of Hastings' proof. In addition to a careful elucidation of the details of the proof, we also present bounds for the minimal dimensions needed to obtain a counterexample.
