description: In 2007 in every European Union region, involved in the planning of Rural Development Plan (RDP), an independent evaluator should asses the impact of the plan in term of value added and productivity. Each region has adopted different methodologies but few of them have followed the indications of Common and Monitoring Evaluation Framework (CMEF) to evaluate the net value deriving by direct and indirect effect. IRPET, the Independent evaluator of Tuscany, utilising REMI-IRPET model has assed the impact of RDP on the main economic variables until 2020. Among 30 different measures it has been chosen only 5 of them that cover more than 54% of total amount of public and private investments. The economic impacts are also evaluated at provincial level.

description: During their violent merger, two neutron stars can shed a few percent of their mass. As this ejecta expands, it collides with the surrounding interstellar gas, producing a slowly-fading radio flare that lasts for years. Radio flares uniquely probe the neutron star merger populations as many events from past decades could still be detectable. Nonetheless, no radio flare observation has been reported to date. Here we show that the radio transient FIRST J1419+3940, first observed in 1993 and still detectable, could have originated from a neutron star merger. We carry out numerical simulations of neutron star merger ejecta to demonstrate that the observed radio light curve is well reproduced by a merger model with astrophysically expected parameters. We examine the observed radio data, as well as the host galaxy, to find clues that could differentiate the transient's neutron star merger origin from the alternative explanation---the afterglow of an off-axis long gamma-ray burst. Near-future observations could find further evidence for the FIRST J1419+3940 radio transient's origin. We show that existing radio surveys likely already recorded multiple radio flares, informing us of the origin and properties of neutrons tar mergers and their role in the nucleosynthesis of the heaviest elements in the Universe.

description: This article examines the development of global leadership literature, and finds that through a lot of research, many scholars have found that global leadership has an important impact on the success of global organizations. Nonetheless, even though considerable progress has been made in the theoretical research and practical development of global leadership, this area of study is still an immature field since researchers have not yet formed a consistent point of view, and many issues are still in heated debate, which need to be discussed in depth. The article includes the competencies that a successful global leader must possess in order to select and cultivate suitable global leaders. Furthermore, this article discusses the pathway to the cultivation of global leaders in the modern economy.
An observational survey of molecular emission ahead of Herbig-Haro objects

description: Context. A molecular survey recently performed ahead of HH~2 supports the idea that the observed molecular enhancement is due to UV radiation from the HH object. Aims. The aim of the present work is to determine whether all HH objects with enhanced HCO$^+$ emission ahead of them also exhibit the same enhanced chemistry as HH~2. We thus observed several molecular lines at several positions ahead of five Herbig-Haro objects where enhanced HCO$^+$ emission was previously observed. Methods. We mapped the five Herbig-Haro objects using the IRAM-30 m. For each position we searched for more than one molecular species, and where possible for more than one transition per species. We then estimated the averaged beam column densities for all species observed and also performed LVG analyses to constrain the physical properties of the gas. Results. The chemically richest quiescent gas is found ahead of the HH~7-11 complex, in particular at the HH~7-11 A position. In some regions we also detected a high velocity gas component. We find that the gas densities are always higher than those typical of a molecular cloud while the derived temperatures are always quite low, ranging from 10 to 25 K. The emission of most species seems to be enhanced with respect to that of a typical dense clump, probably due to the exposure to a high UV radiation from the HH objects. Chemical differentiation among the positions is also observed. We attempt a very simple chemical analysis to explain such differentiation.

description: Context. Since 1995 and the first discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star, 4000 exoplanets have been discovered using several techniques. However, only a few of these exoplanets were detected through direct imaging. Indeed, the imaging of circumstellar environments requires high-contrast imaging facilities and accurate control of wavefront aberrations. Ground-based planet imagers such as VLT/SPHERE or Gemini/GPI have already demonstrated great performance. However, their limit of detection is hampered by suboptimal correction of aberrations unseen by adaptive optics (AO). Aims. Instead of focusing on the phase minimization of the pupil plane as in standard AO, we aim to directly minimize the stellar residual light in the SPHERE science camera behind the coronagraph to improve the contrast as close as possible to the inner working angle. Methods. We propose a dark hole (DH) strategy optimized for SPHERE. We used a numerical simulation to predict the global improvement of such a strategy on the overall performance of the instrument for different AO capabilities and particularly in the context of a SPHERE upgrade. Then, we tested our algorithm on the internal source with the AO in closed loop. Results. We demonstrate that our DH strategy can correct for aberrations of phase and amplitude. Moreover, this approach has the ability to strongly reduce the diffraction pattern induced by the telescope pupil and the coronagraph, unlike methods operating at the pupil plane. Our strategy enables us to reach a contrast of 5e-7 at 150 mas from the optical axis in a few minutes using the SPHERE internal source. This experiment establishes the grounds for implementing the algorithm on sky in the near future.

title: Do – it – yourself – Hirnstimulation: eine medizinethische Analyse von transkranieller Gleichstromstimulation in der Selbstanwendun

description: Transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation (im Folgenden tDCS), deren Wirkung in der medizinischen Forschung vielfältig zum Einsatz kommt, wird auch ohne medizinische Anleitung oder Indikation im Hausgebrauch verwendet, um kognitive Leistungen zu steigern. Transkranielle Gelichstromstimulation funktioniert über zwei kleine Elektroden am Kopf über die eine geringe Spannung von 1-2mA auf den Kopf übertragen werden und durch die Schädeldecke das Gehirn erreichen. Je nach Flussrichtung des Stroms wird so ein Areal entweder stimuliert oder gehemmt. Diese einfache Technik machen sich nun Privatpersonen zu Nutzen um kognitive Leistungen ohne medizinische Indikation zu steigern. Vielzählige Erfahrungsberichte von Anwendern lassen vermuten, dass sich die Technologie für einige als durchaus effizient und sicher erweist, diese anekdotische Evidenz ist jedoch nicht ausreichend, um tatsächlichen Nutzen und Sicherheit für den Anwender aus medizinethischer Perspektive beurteilen zu können. Medizinethische Themen, die beim Hausgebrauch von tDCS betrachtet werden, sind: Sicherheit der Anwendung (Betrachtung von Neben – und Wechselwirkungen), Suchtpotenzial, Sozialer Druck/Zwang, Anwendung durch Kinder, Authentizität und Autonomie des Einzelnen, Fairness und Regulierung der Anwendung sowie der mögliche Glücksgewinn. Diese Themen müssen jedoch unter verschiedenen Voraussetzungen betrachtet werden. Zum einem nach aktuellem Stand der Wissenschaft, sowie unter Annahme von zukünftigen Forschungsergebnissen. Je nach Nutzen – Risiko – Profil (geringer Nutzen, moderater und hoher Nutzen), ergeben sich dann unterschiedliche Szenarien, mit denen unterschiedlich umgegangen werden muss. Grundlegend kann behauptet werden, dass es sowohl nach aktuellem Stand der Wissenschaft als auch unter zukünftigen Annahmen keinen Grund für eine Nutzung von tDCS ohne medizinische Indikation gibt, aber auch kein Argument für ein absolutes Verbot der Nutzung, da die Risiken extrem gering sind. Die Anwendung von tDCS durch Kinder, ohne medizinischen Hintergrund, muss gesondert betrachtet werden und strenger reguliert werden, da die Technik noch unerforschte Wirkung auf das kindliche Gehirn ausüben kann, die das in der Entwicklung befindliche Gehirn dauerhaft schädigen können. Eine Forschung der Wirkung auf das erwachsene Gehirn muss so weit vorangetrieben werden, bis klarere Ergebnisse über die langfristigen Auswirkungen bekannt sind. Erst danach kann eine Forschung an Kindern vorgenommen werden und dementsprechend eine Regulierung erstellt werden.

description: Extending a previous work by the same authors, we investigate the existence of expansion-free dynamical stars with non-zero spatial twist and rotation and show that such stars cannot exist. Firstly, it is shown that a rotating expansion-free dynamical star with zero twist cannot exist. This is due to the fact that such stars cannot radiate and they are shear-free, in which case the energy density $ρ$ is time independent. Secondly, we prove that a non-rotating expansion-free dynamical star with non-zero spatial twist also cannot exist, as either the strong energy condition must be violated, i.e. $ρ+3p<0$, or the star must be shear-free in which case the star is static ($Θ=Ω=Σ=0$). Finally, if we insist that the rotation and spatial twist are simultaneously non-zero, then the star cannot be shear-free in which case we obtain a quadratic polynomial equation in $ϕ$ and $Σ$ with no real solutions. Therefore such stars cannot exist.

description: We study the q-deformation of the bi-local system, two particle system, bounded by a relativistic harmonic oscillator type of potential from both points of view of mass spectra and the behavior of scattering amplitudes. In particular, we try to formulate the deformation so that $P^2$, the square of center of mass momenta, enters into the deformation parameters of relative coordinates. As a result, the wave equation of the bi-local system becomes non-linear one with respect to $P^2$; then, the propagator of the bi-local system suffers significant change so as to get a convergent self energy to second order.

description: Weather variability can threaten French suckler cow farms which rely on rather extensive forage production. However, flexibility of the production system can help farmer to face crop production shocks. This study aims at assessing how crop yield shocks impact on farms outcomes when adaptive capacity is taken into account. Our objectives are to develop a dynamic model which enables us 1) to predict the optimal mix of production adjustments to face crop yield shocks, 2) to quantify how far the system moves from the equilibrium and how long it takes to return and 3) to measure impact of shocks on economic results when adaptive capacity is taken into account. An original dynamic recursive bio-economic farm model integrating detailed technical and biological constraints and coupled with biological sub-models has been built and calibrated to represent an average farm producing charolais finished animals. Crop yield shocks of intensities ranging between -60% and +60% of their average values are simulated in between average years. A preference for maintaining animal sales and animal live weight at the expense of crop products trade balance is found. Thought, when intensities of shocks get higher, forced sales and important variations of the area of pasture cut are observed. Essential of loss (or gain) of net profit is felt the year of the shock but can be remnant for several years. In addition, gains for good years do not totally compensate loss of symmetric bad ones. Consequently, farms capacity to face risk could be weaken over time. Minimum consumption needs, probability distribution of shocks and successions or combinations of shocks would have thought to be taken into account to assess real capacity of farms to maintain over time.

description: The Monte Carlo simulations of pulsar periods, pulse-widths and magnetic inclination angles are performed. Using the available observational data sets we study a possible trial parent distribution functions by means of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov significance tests. We also use an additional condition that the numbers of generated interpulses, whether from both magnetic poles or from single pole, are at the observed levels. We conclude that the parent distribution function of magnetic inclination angles is neither flat nor cosine but it is a more complicated function with a local maximum near alpha=25deg and another weaker one near alpha=90deg. The plausible distribution function of pulsar periods is represented by the gamma function. The beaming fraction describing the fraction of observable radio pulsars is about 0.12.

description: This research note documents estimation procedures and results for an empirical investigation of the performance of the recently developed spatial, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) covariance estimator calibrated with different kernel bandwidths. The empirical example is concerned with a hedonic price model for residential property values. The first bandwidth approach varies an a priori determined plug-in bandwidth criterion. The second method is a data driven cross-validation approach to determine the optimal neighborhood. The third approach uses a robust semivariogram to determine the range over which residuals are spatially correlated. Inference becomes more conservative as the plug-in bandwidth is increased. The data-driven approaches prove valuable because they are capable of identifying the optimal spatial range, which can subsequently be used to inform the choice of an appropriate bandwidth value. In our empirical example, pertaining to a standard spatial model and ditto dataset, the results of the data driven procedures can only be reconciled with relatively high plug-in values (n0.65 or n0.75). The results for the semivariogram and the cross-validation approaches are very similar which, given its computational simplicity, gives the semivariogram approach an edge over the more flexible cross-validation approach.

description: In the context of ever-increasing petroleum prices combined with concerns about climate change, timing of adoption and rate of diffusion of land-based fuels and backstop technologies for transportation use are examined in this paper. A global model of land allocation joined with a Hotelling model has been developed. Using this framework, effects of climate and energy policies on world agricultural and energy markets have been explored. Further, their regional impacts are also analyzed. Whereas mandatory blending bio-fuels have substantial effects on world food prices and do not succeed in curbing down carbon emissions fluxes, carbon targets are expected to speed up date of adoption of backstop technologies. Then, sensitivity scenarios with regards to technological parameters reveal that higher is the rate of technological change, earlier backstop technologies are adopted and lower is the stock of carbon accumulated into the atmosphere. Finally, interplay between land-based fuels and deforestation has been studied. Results show that land-based fuels production speeds up world deforestation and causes substantial carbon emissions due to conversion of forests into agricultural lands.

description: Renewable solar, tidal and wind energy have the potential of reducing dependency on fossil fuels and their environmentally negative impacts. Because of their variability, wind and solar energy in particular impose added costs on electrical grids as system operators attempt to balance operation of existing thermal power plants. In this regard, tidal stream power has an advantage over solar and wind energy as tides are predictable and comparatively regular; yet, tides remain intermittent and thereby still may create inefficiencies to the grid. In this paper, we develop a dynamic optimization framework for analyzing the allocation of power output across generating sources when tidal and wind power are added to the system. In particular, we minimize the cost of satisfying the 2006 British Columbia electricity demand. We use tidal current and wind data from sites around Vancouver Island to estimate the effects of an increase in renewable energy penetration into grids consisting of three typical generating mixes – the British Columbia generation mix that has a significant hydropower component, the Alberta generating mix with a coal-fired power dominance, and the Ontario generation mix which includes significant nuclear and coal-fired generation. Simulation results over an entire year (hourly time step) indicate that the cost of electricity will increase from its current levels by between 73% and 150% at renewable penetration rates of 30% depending on the assumed generating mix. The cost of reducing CO2 emissions ranges from $97.47 to $1674.79 per tonne of CO2, making this an expensive way of mitigating emissions. The reasons for these high costs are increased inefficiencies from standby spinning reserves and operation of plants at less than optimal levels (so that more fuel is burned per unit of electricity). Further, it is impossible to determine the displacement of emissions by renewable energy without considering the complete operating system.

Based on the close relationship between superconducting transition temperature (Tc) and electron density of states (DOS), we take two typical superconducting materials Hg and ZrTe3 as samples and calculate their DOS versus temperature under different pressures by using the first-principle molecular dynamics simulations. According to the analysis of the calculation results, the main contributors that induce superconducting transitions are deduced by tracing the variation of partial density of states near Tc. In particular, the microscopic mechanism of pressure increasing Tc is further analyzed.

description: Type II supernovae (SNe) interacting with disklike circumstellar matter (CSM) have been suggested as an explanation of some unusual Type II SNe, e.g., the so-called "impossible" SN, iPTF14hls. There are some radiation hydrodynamics simulations for such SNe interacting with a CSM disk. However, such disk interaction models so far have not included the effect of the ionization and recombination processes in the SN ejecta, i.e., the fact that the photosphere of Type IIP SNe between $\sim 10$-$\sim 100$ days is regulated by the hydrogen recombination front. We calculate light curves for Type IIP SNe interacting with a CSM disk viewed from the polar direction, and examine the effects of the disk density and opening angle on their bolometric light curves. This work embeds the shock interaction model of Moriya, et al. (2013) within the Type IIP SN model of Kasen & Woosley (2009), for taking into account the effects of the ionization and recombination in the SN ejecta. We demonstrate that such interacting SNe show three phases with different photometric and spectroscopic properties, following the change in the energy source: First few tens days after explosion (Phase 1), $\sim 10 - \sim 100$ days (Phase 2) and days after that (Phase 3). From the calculations, we conclude that such hidden CSM disk cannot account for overluminous Type IIP SNe. We find that the luminosity ratio between Phase 1 and Phase 2 has information on the opening angle of the CSM disk. We thus encourage early photometric and spectroscopic observations of interacting SNe for investigating their CSM geometry.

description: Results regarding probable bifurcations from fixed points are presented in the context of general dynamical systems (real, random matrices), time-delay dynamical systems (companion matrices), and a set of mappings known for their properties as universal approximators (neural networks). The eigenvalue spectra is considered both numerically and analytically using previous work of Edelman et. al. Based upon the numerical evidence, various conjectures are presented. The conclusion is that in many circumstances, most bifurcations from fixed points of large dynamical systems will be due to complex eigenvalues. Nevertheless, surprising situations are presented for which the aforementioned conclusion is not general, e.g. real random matrices with Gaussian elements with a large positive mean and finite variance.

description: DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon dark matter detector being operated 2 km underground at SNOLAB, Sudbury, Canada. The detector consists of 3.3 tonnes of ultra-pure liquid argon in a spherical acrylic cryostat instrumented with 255 photomultiplier tubes. Natural radioactive contamination in the acrylic vessel or TPB wavelength shifter can alpha-decay. Reconstruction of the position of the interactions taking place in the detector uses information about the number of photoelectrons detected in each PMT and when they were detected. Including this information in our suite of cuts allows us to identify and remove almost all surface background events. A method of event position reconstruction emphasizing photon timing is presented here.

description: Under Kyoto, biological activities that sequester carbon can be used to create CO2 offset credits that could obviate the need for lifestyle-changing reductions in fossil fuel use. Credits are earned by storing carbon in terrestrial ecosystems and wood products, although CO2 emissions are also mitigated by delaying deforestation, which accounts for one-quarter of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, nonpermanent carbon offsets from biological activities are difficult to compare with each other and with emissions reduction because they differ in how long they prevent CO2 from entering the atmosphere. This is the duration problem; it results in uncertainty and makes it difficult to determine the legitimacy of biological activities in mitigating climate change. While there is not doubt that biological sink activities help mitigate climate change and should not be neglected, in this paper we demonstrate that these activities cannot be included in carbon trading schemes.

CNS inflammation : mechanisms of damage and strategies for prevention
Creators: name: Zhu, Bing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Axonal damage in the central nervous system (CNS) is an important pathological process in multiple sclerosis (MS). I established an acute demyelination model in the rat optic nerve through the microinjection of anti-galactocerebroside antibody and complement. Neurofilament.(NF) and microtubule (MT) immunoreactivity was markedly reduced within large demyelination lesions that had little inflammation at 24 hours after the injection. Between 3 and 7 days post-injection, there was a gradual increase of macrophages/activated microglia in demyelinated areas. NF and MT immunoreactivity almost disappeared within severe inflammatory lesions, and numerous axonal spheroids appeared at the lesion edges. Axonal cytoskeleton changes were further characterized on the ultrastructural level. It is concluded that acute demyelination may by itself induce local axonal cytoskeleton breakdown and that macrophages/activated microglia may cause axonal transection in CNS demyelination areas. I next explored other neurodegenerative features in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Extensive dendritic beading were observed in the white matter of lumbosacral spinal cord (LSSC) during acute and chronic EAE attacks, but recovered almost completely after clinical EAE recovery. In addition, synaptophysin, synapsin I, and PSD-95 immunoreactivity were markedly reduced in both the gray and white matter of LSSC during acute and chronic EAE attacks, but showed partial recovery after clinical EAE recovery. At various EAE stages, both dendritic beading and synaptic protein loss were correlated with the degree of inflammation in the LSSC. The dendritic and synaptic damage thus represents novel neuronal pathology that is associated with CNS autoimmune inflammation. Finally, I examined whether CNS autoimmune inflammation could be prevented through the potentiation of CNS immunoprivilege. Intrathecal infusion of recombinant Fas ligand (rFasL) before the onset of acute EAE dose-dependently suppressed EAE severity and alleviated pathological inflammation in LSSC. This treatment markedly increased apoptosis in CNS inflammatory cells, but did not suppress systemic immune response to the EAE-inducing antigen. No damage to spinal cord neural cells was detected after rFasL infusion. It is concluded that intrathecal infusion of rFasL is able to eliminate early-infiltrating inflammatory cells within the CNS, and therefore blocks the later recruitment of inflammatory cells into the CNS.

description: Quantum anomalies offer a useful guide for the exploration of transport phenomena in topological semimetals. In this work, we introduce a model describing a semimetal in four spatial dimensions, whose nodal points act like tensor monopoles in momentum space. This system is shown to exhibit monopole-to-monopole phase transitions, as signaled by a change in the value of the topological Dixmier-Douady invariant as well as by the associated surface states on its boundary. We use this model to reveal an intriguing "4D parity magnetic effect", which stems from a parity-type anomaly. In this effect, topological currents are induced upon time-modulating the separation between the fictitious monopoles in the presence of a magnetic perturbation. Besides its theoretical implications in both condensed matter and quantum field theory, the peculiar 4D magnetic effect revealed by our model could be measured by simulating higher-dimensional semimetals in synthetic matter.

description: We present detailed calculations of the diffraction pattern of a powder of bundles of C$_{60}$ peapods. The influence of all pertinent structural parameters of the bundles on the diffraction diagram is discussed, which should lead to a better interpretation of X-ray and neutron diffraction diagrams. We illustrate our formalism for X-ray scattering experiments performed on peapod samples synthesized from 2 different technics, which present different structural parameters. We propose and test different criteria to solve the difficult problem of the filling rate determination.

description: Collaboration between stakeholders in the agro-food sector is nowadays a common phenomenon. Despite the huge diversity observed, this paper argues that collective action always results in the establishment of a collective organization (whether formally organized or not), which is characterized by the presence of a coordination centre. This organism represents all partners united in the collective and performs tasks by order of the individual members and the group. From a theoretical point of view, all collective organizations qualify as hybrid organizations, which can be studied through the lens of Transaction Costs Economics. Hybrids governance structures are a large set of arrangements that are situated between markets and hierarchies. When organizing transactions, hybrids do not purely rely on the price mechanism or authority, but rather on an interplay of four coordination mechanisms. These coordination mechanisms are the central element of this paper and we hypothesize that their degree of formalization is positively correlated with the complexity of the tasks faced by the coordination centre. To test this hypothesis, a survey was designed and information was gathered on some general and organizational characteristics of 65 collective initiatives in the Flemish agro-food sector. Information on the coordination mechanism could thereby be directly gathered, but the complexity of the tasks was approximated by the collective organization’s objectives, the characteristics of the specifications in force and the entry rules for members. The analysis proves that there is indeed a positive relationship between the degree of formalization of the coordination mechanisms on the hand and the complexity of coordination centre’s tasks. Information devices occurs in combination with informal cooperation in small groups, contracts are adopted by groups of 5 to 14 members to realize medium complex objectives and formal coordination (extern regulation and new governance bodies) is finally linked to quality differentiation, which requires considerable efforts in the definition and enforcement of product and/or process specifications.
Generating dyonic solutions in 5D Einstein-dilaton gravity with antisymmetric forms and dyonic black rings

description: We consider 5-dimensional Einstein-dilaton gravity with antisymmetric forms. Assuming staticity and a restriction on the dilaton coupling parameters, we derive 4-dimensional sigma-model with a target space $SL(2,R)/SO(1,1)\times SL(2,R)/SO(1,1)$. On this basis, using the symmetries of the target space, we develop a solution generating technique and employ it to construct new asymptotically flat and non-flat dyonic black rings solutions. The solutions are analyzed and the basic physical quantities are calculated.

description: The roles of business relationships in selected European agri-food chains are analysed. Using survey data from 1,442 farmers, food processors and retailers in two commodity sectors (meat and cereals) and across six different EU countries, we test the empirical relevance of several theory-based determinants influencing the choice of relationship type and the sustainability of inter-enterprise relationships. This is undertaken for the overall dataset and separately for different chain stages (farmer-processor versus the processor-retailer relationships), commodities and individual countries. Overall, we find that sector and enterprise-specific determinants seem to influence the choice of a certain relationship type while chain-internal, dyadic factors affect the sustainability of relationships. A logistic regression analysis reveals that the preference for a relationship type, while being highly chain-specific, depends on the long-term orientation and the strive for independence of an enterprise and the product-quality requirements within a corresponding market. As for the sustainability of the analysed relationships, structural equation modelling results suggest that its most important determinant is effective communication, with its two components, adequate communication frequency and high information quality, being equally important. The existence of personal bonds and an equal power distribution between buyers and suppliers are the second most important determinants, followed by the negative impact of key staff leaving. The analysis also reveals that the relative importance of these determinants differs significantly across the two considered chain stages and between the countries investigated. Agribusiness managers, seeking to improve their supplier or buyer relationships, need to consider the crucial role of effective communication and the positive contribution that the existence of personal bonds can make to the development and maintenance of sustainable interactions.

description: The efficient modulation and control of ultrafast signals on-chip is of central importance in terahertz (THz) communications and a promising route toward sub-diffraction limit THz spectroscopy. Two-dimensional (2D) materials may provide a platform for these endeavors. We explore this potential, integrating high-quality graphene p-n junctions within two types of planar transmission line circuits to modulate and emit picosecond pulses. In a coplanar stripline geometry, we demonstrate electrical modulation of THz signal transmission by 95%. In a Goubau waveguide geometry, we achieve complete gate-tunable control over THz emission from a photoexcited graphene junction. These studies inform the development of on-chip signal manipulation and highlight prospects for 2D materials in THz applications.

description: The paper presents a multiple criteria model for the evaluation of the sustainability of projects for the economic re-use of historical buildings in Venice. The model utilises the relevant parameters for the appraisal of sustainability, aggregated into three macro-indicators: intrinsic sustainability, context sustainability and economic-financial feasibility. The model has been calibrated by a panel of experts and tested on two reuse hypotheses of the Old Arsenal in Venice. The tests have proven the model to be a useful support in the early stages of evaluation of re-use projects, where economic improvements are to be combined with conservation, as it supports the identification of critical points and the selection of projects, thus providing not only a check-list of variables to be considered, but an appraisal of trade-offs between economic uses and requirements of conservation.
