description:  

 Although for millennia the Mediterranean has facilitated the exchange of goods and people, in recent decades, it has been treated as a border between continents, nations and supranational institutions, with the European Union on one side and MENA region on the other. Yet pressing issues related to migration, climate change and pollution reveal problems with the border approach. In 1995, the Barcelona Process culminated in the creation of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the UfM Urban Agenda in an attempt to better connect countries around the Mediterranean. To concretise this agenda, TU Delft and the authors of this text were invited to work with DG-Regio, UNESCO, the EIB (European Investment Bank), and the ministries in charge of spatial planning in Member States, to draft the UfM Strategic Action Plan for Sustainable Urban Development. The goal of the Action Plan is to enhance the strategic and integrative value of spatial planning interventions in each country. Based on the personal reflections of the authors and the detailed communication with the institutions involved in the making of the plan, the article presents the history and the conceptual framework of the making of the UfM Strategic Action Plan. It concludes by highlighting the hurdles that the UfM Strategic Action Plan faces as a new transnational policy framework for the transfer of policy from the European Union to the MENA region (Middle East and the North of Africa). Such challenges are not only based on content, but they are also related to the frames and structures within which policy is developed and exchanged.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The Detroit wholesale produce market is the sixth largest in the Nation, supplying over 4 million people with fresh fruits and vegetables. The Albany-Schenectady-Troy market is a medium-sized market, serving over 700,000 people. The Charleston, Huntington, and Wheeling markets in West Virginia supply from 200,000 to 300,000 people each. The other markets in West Virginia are all relatively small. This report describes the organization and operation of these markets, including the buying, selling, and operating practices of the wholesalers and chains in the markets, and the changes that have taken place during the past quarter century. The information on which the report is based was obtained as part of a nationwide study of the organization and operations of wholesale produce markets. The purpose of the study was to describe and appraise the current status of wholesale markets and the changes which have taken place in them. The findings should give firms in wholesale and shipping -point markets, farmers, interested citizens, and public agencies a better understanding of the forces at work in the marketing system for fresh fruits and vegetables, and provide a basis for making better decisions in adjusting to the changes taking place throughout the structure of marketing.
Unconventional strong pinning in the low temperature phase of U_.9725Th_.0275Be_13

description: We investigated low field vortex dynamics in a single crystal of U_.9725Th_.0275Be_13. We found a sharp transition in the vortex creep rate at the lower transition temperature T_c2, coincident with the second jump in the specific heat. In the high-temperature phase, rather strong creep rates are observed. In the low temperature phase, the rates drop to undetectabely low levels. This behaviour indicates that a very strong pinning mechanism is present in the low temperature phase of U_.9725Th_.0275Be_13, which could be explained by the existence of domain walls, separating discreetly degenerate states of a superconductor, that can sustain fractional vortices and thus act as very strong pinning centers.

description: We present a spectral-timing analysis of observations taken in fall 2017 of the newly detected X-ray transient MAXI J1535-571. We included 38 Swift/XRT window timing mode observations, three XMM-Newton observations and 31 NICER observations in our study. We computed the fundamental diagrams commonly used to study black hole transients, and fitted power density and energy spectra to study the evolution of spectral and timing parameters. The observed properties are consistent with a bright black hole X-ray binary ($F_{\mathrm{0.6-10 keV}}^{\mathrm{max}}=3.71\pm0.02\times10^{-7}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$) that evolves from the low-hard-state to the high-soft state and back to the low-hard-state. In some observations the power density spectra showed type-C quasi-periodic oscillations, giving additional evidence that MAXI J1535-571 is in a hard state during these observations. The duration of the soft state with less than ten days is unusually short and observations taken in spring 2018 show that MAXI J1535-571 entered a second (and longer) soft state.

description: The influence of a macroscopic time-dependent threshold on the retrieval process of three-state extremely diluted neural networks is examined. If the threshold is chosen appropriately in function of the noise and the pattern activity of the network, adapting itself in the course of the time evolution, it guarantees an autonomous functioning of the network. It is found that this self-control mechanism considerably improves the retrieval quality, especially in the limit of low activity, including the storage capacity, the basins of attraction and the information content. The mutual information is shown to be the relevant parameter to study the retrieval quality of such low activity models. Numerical results confirm these observations.

description: Contexte. L’infection est une complication de la biopsie transrectale de la prostate guidée par échographie, malgré l’utilisation de l’antibioprophylaxie. Des publications récentes ont rapporté des cas groupés d’infections, ce qui a conduit le service d’urologie du centre hospitalier Lyon-Sud à vérifier le taux de ces infections, les facteurs de risque et les germes en cause. Méthode. Une étude de cohorte rétrospective a été menée, à partir des dossiers informatiques des patients qui ont bénéficié d’une biopsie de prostate entre le 1er janvier et le 31 décembre 2016. L’infection a été définie comme l’apparition de symptômes infectieux dans les 30 jours après la biopsie de la prostate, ayant conduit à un examen cytobactériologique des urines (ECBU) significatif. Tous les facteurs associés au risque infectieux dans la littérature ont été recherchés et analysés (analyse univariée et multivariée de type régression logistique). Résultats. Parmi les 197 patients inclus, quatre ont développé une infection (2 %). Candida albicans était retrouvé chez deux patients et Enterococcus fæcium chez un patient. Les facteurs de risque statistiquement significatifs dans l’analyse multivariée étaient une hospitalisation antérieure dans les six mois précédant la biopsie, et la présence d’un sondage vésical. Conclusion. Le taux d’infections mesuré était semblable à celui retrouvé dans la littérature, incitant à considérer que les conditions des biopsies permettaient de prévenir le risque infectieux.

description: Port cities are places at the edge of sea and land, where flows of goods and people create unique spaces, institutions and cultures, often over long periods of time. History matters when it comes to understanding and designing the future of port cities such as the two ancient Mediterranean cities of Beirut and Naples, where institutions and spaces are the result of longue durée histories. Long-standing spatial and institutional frameworks in these cities have influenced recent plans. In the Italian city of Naples, historic spaces and practices have impeded transformation, because port and city authorities are pursuing divergent and historically established goals while many industrial sites, including areas used by oil industry, await redevelopment. In Beirut, reconstruction following the tragic explosion of 2020, which significantly damaged both port and city, shaping and perhaps limiting the present and future of the city. This article analyses the historic development and the opportunities for future planning of Naples and Beirut through the lens of the Adaptive Strategies course, a master-level course coordinated by Carola Hein and co-taught with Paolo De Martino and John Hanna at TU Delft in 2022. Students, through imaginative methods, rethought the relationship between land and water, port and city, questioning current planning models and imagining new resilient and adaptive processes.

description: Introduction. L’accident d’exposition au sang (AES) est un accident fréquent chez les professionnels de santé qui peut avoir des conséquences potentiellement graves. La littérature révèle que les étudiants hospitaliers ont une méconnaissance du sujet. De plus, l’obstétrique est un milieu exposant particulièrement les étudiants sages-femmes aux AES. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les connaissances sur les AES des étudiants sages-femmes en dernière année de formation. Méthode. Une étude observationnelle descriptive multicentrique transversale a été réalisée auprès des étudiants sages-femmes en dernière année de formation en 2016-2017 dans les 35 écoles françaises. Un questionnaire en ligne leur a été adressé par e-mail. Résultats. Au total 454 étudiants ont répondu à ce questionnaire. Parmi eux, 29,3 % (n = 133) avaient déjà été victimes d’un ou plusieurs AES durant leurs études. 12,1 % (n = 55) des répondants savaient correctement définir un AES. 90,7 % (n = 412) des étudiants avaient reçu une information sur les AES durant leurs études. De plus, l’étude révèle une sous-déclaration importante des AES soit 46,6 % (n = 83). Conclusion. L’étude montre que les étudiants sages-femmes ont des connaissances sur les AES, mais qu’elles ne sont pas optimales ni suffisamment mises à profit en matière de moyens de prévention et de procédure de prise en charge. De plus, la question de l’enseignement dispensé sur les AES est soulevée ainsi que la nécessité de réactualiser les connaissances au cours des études.

description: We report on experimental study into the effects of surface acoustic waves on the optical emission of dot-in-a-nanowire heterostructures in III-V material systems. Under direct optical excitation, the excitonic energy levels in III-nitride dot-in-a-nanowire heterostructures oscillate at the acoustic frequency, producing a characteristic splitting of the emission lines in the time-integrated photoluminescence spectra. This acoustically induced periodic tuning of the excitonic transition energies is combined with spectral detection filtering and employed as a tool to regulate the temporal output of anti-bunched photons emitted from these nanowire quantum dots. In addition, the acoustic transport of electrons and holes along a III-arsenide nanowire injects the electric charges into an ensemble of quantum dot-like recombination centers that are spatially separated from the optical excitation area. The acoustic population and depopulation mechanism determines the number of carrier recombination events taking place simultaneously in the ensemble, thus allowing a control of the anti-bunching degree of the emitted photons. The present results are relevant for the dynamic control of single photon emission in III-V semiconductor heterostructures.
Land-Sea Spaces and Infrastructures: the Mediterranean as an Edge, a Continent, a Cluster

Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2024

description: Looking for new visions and tools for land-sea integrated planning, the article aims to reason on a reconceptualization of the contemporary Mediterranean through exceptional cases of design and representation. Whether they are utopian projects from the early twentieth century, such as Atlantropa (1928), or up-to-date critical mappings, such as Migrating Mediterranean (2022), they are works aimed at capturing the heterogeneity and at the same time compactness of this millennial water basin. If the utopian project of Atlantropa took the coastal edge of the Mediterranean as its main area of action, irreversibly modifying its morphology through new infrastructures, the critical map Migrating Mediterranean reverses the interpretation by focusing on the aquatic surface and, actually, on the multiple ways of settlement and circulation on and across the sea. Through these interpretations, the Mediterranean is seen time to time as an edge, a continent and a cluster. In the latter meaning – the Mediterranean as a cluster – its relational potential emerges proposing it as a key area for experimentation in the field of infrastructure and osmotic land-sea circulation. The perspective offered by the cluster regime turns the Mare Nostrum into a quintessential workspace for testing the new tactics offered by spatial clustering.

PRECISION MEASUREMENTS IN ATOMIC CESIUM-133

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 510201
subject: Atomic and molecular physics

description: Atomic parity violation measurements facilitate tests of the standard model in a tabletop platform. This parity violating effect is caused by the weak force interaction that slightly mixes states of opposite parity and weakly allows electric dipole transitions. Precision determinations of the extremely weak parity violating transition amplitude rely on interference techniques to amplify this weak transition. The strength of this interfering transition is critical in evaluating the parity violating amplitude and is the primary focus of this work. Here we discuss several measurements in atomic cesium-133 that aid in our understanding of atomic parity violation. We have remeasured the relative strength of the scalar and vector transition polarizabilities on the 6s 2S1/2 ->7s 2S1/2 transition to better that 0.1%. We have measured the static Stark polarizability on the 6s 2S1/2 -> 7s 2S1/2 transition to better than 0.04%. With this value we also reevaluate the reduced electric dipole matrix elements <7s||r||7pJ >. We use these new matrix elements to reevaluate the calculated scalar transition polarizability on the 6s 2S1/2 -> 7s 2S1/2 transition. Finally, we have also measured hyperfine intervals on the 12s 2S1/2, 13s 2S1/2, 11d 2DJ , and 6p 2PJ levels.

The robustness of asteroseismic estimates of global stellar parameters to surface term corrections

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Oscillation frequencies of even the best stellar models differ from those of the stars they represent, and the difference is predominantly a function of frequency. This difference is caused by limitations of modeling the near-surface layers of a star. This frequency-dependent frequency error, usually referred to as the "surface term" can result in erroneous interpretation of the oscillation frequencies unless treated properly. Several techniques have been developed to minimize the effect of the surface term; it is either subtracted out, or frequency combinations insensitive to the surface terms are used, or the asteroseismic phase $ε$ is used to determine a match between models and stars. In this paper we show that no matter what technique is used to account for the surface term, as long as the physics of the models is the same, the global parameters of a star --- mass, radius and, age --- obtained from frequency analyses are robust. This implies that even though we cannot model the internal structure of stars perfectly, we can have confidence in all results that use stellar global properties obtained through the analysis of stellar oscillation frequencies.

Une première étude a été menée au sein de l’établissement. Des actions d’amélioration ont ensuite été réalisées, sur la base de sessions de formation, d’information, de jeux, et d’affichage. Une nouvelle évaluation est alors menée et montre un taux de 92 % de réponses correctes apportées. Des améliorations significatives ont ainsi pu être observées, notamment concernant la conduite à tenir en cas d’accident d’exposition au sang. Cette étude montre l’importance de réaliser des formations annuelles pour rappeler les bonnes pratiques et de les accompagner d’évaluations périodiques des connaissances des agents.

description: The focus of the research carried out by Zones Portuaires and Corpi Idirici for the digital map of Genoa is water. The map is broken down into the theme of the "immersed" with a dual meaning of "invisible underground or underwater'' due to it being submerged or forced, and of "invisible - unknown or hidden" as a result of it being abandoned or unused. The map tells the stories of a select number of noteworthy places along fresh and saltwater routes, land and maritime passages, stories made invisible by anthropogenic hyper-infrastructures and immersed in physical conditions that lack knowledge and accessibility. The phenomenon has been studied from a point of view that moves from the sea to the hinterland and vice versa using a transdisciplinary approach method of investigation and restitution that makes use of the hybridization between artistic practice and scientific research.

description: The unitary irreducible representations of the covering group of the Poincare group P define the framework for much of particle physics on the physical Minkowski space P/L, where L is the Lorentz group. While extraordinarily successful, it does not provide a large enough group of symmetries to encompass observed particles with a SU(3) classification. Born proposed the reciprocity principle that states physics must be invariant under the reciprocity transform that is heuristically {t,e,q,p}->{t,e,p,-q} where {t,e,q,p} are the time, energy, position, and momentum degrees of freedom. This implies that there is reciprocally conjugate relativity principle such that the rates of change of momentum must be bounded by b, where b is a universal constant. The appropriate group of dynamical symmetries that embodies this is the Canonical group C(1,3) = U(1,3) *s H(1,3) and in this theory the non-commuting space Q= C(1,3)/ SU(1,3) is the physical quantum space endowed with a metric that is the second Casimir invariant of the Canonical group, T^2 + E^2 - Q^2/c^2-P^2/b^2 +(2h I/bc)(Y/bc -2) where {T,E,Q,P,I,Y} are the generators of the algebra of Os(1,3). The idea is to study the representations of the Canonical dynamical group using Mackey's theory to determine whether the representations can encompass the spectrum of particle states. The unitary irreducible representations of the Canonical group contain a direct product term that is a representation of U(1,3) that Kalman has studied as a dynamical group for hadrons. The U(1,3) representations contain discrete series that may be decomposed into infinite ladders where the rungs are representations of U(3) (finite dimensional) or C(2) (with degenerate U(1)* SU(2) finite dimensional representations) corresponding to the rest or null frames.

description: 1I/`Oumuamua is the first confirmed interstellar body in our Solar System. Here we report on observations of `Oumuamua made with the Spitzer Space Telescope on 2017 November 21--22 (UT). We integrated for 30.2~hours at 4.5 micron (IRAC channel 2). We did not detect the object and place an upper limit on the flux of 0.3 uJy (3sigma). This implies an effective spherical diameter less than [98, 140, 440] meters and albedo greater than [0.2, 0.1, 0.01] under the assumption of low, middle, or high thermal beaming parameter eta, respectively. With an aspect ratio for `Oumuamua of 6:1, these results correspond to dimensions of [240:40, 341:57, 1080:180] meters, respectively. We place upper limits on the amount of dust, CO, and CO2 coming from this object that are lower than previous results; we are unable to constrain the production of other gas species. Both our size and outgassing limits are important because `Oumuamua's trajectory shows non-gravitational accelerations that are sensitive to size and mass and presumably caused by gas emission. We suggest that `Oumuamua may have experienced low-level post-perihelion volatile emission that produced a fresh, bright, icy mantle. This model is consistent with the expected eta value and implied high albedo value for this solution, but, given our strict limits on CO and CO2, requires another gas species --- probably H2O --- to explain the observed non-gravitational acceleration. Our results extend the mystery of `Oumuamua's origin and evolution.

description: We successfully synthesized a verdazyl-based charge-transfer salt $[$$o$-MePy-V-($p$-Br)$_2]$FeCl$_4$, which has an $S_{\rm{V}}$=1/2 on the radical $o$-MePy-V-($p$-Br)$_2$ and an $S_{\rm{Fe}}$=5/2 on the FeCl$_4$ anion. $Ab$ $initio$ molecular orbital calculations indicate the formation of an $S_{\rm{V}}$=1/2 honeycomb lattice composed of three types of exchange interaction with two types of inequivalent site. Further, the $S_{\rm{V}}$=1/2 at one site is sandwiched by $S_{\rm{Fe}}$=5/2 spins through antiferromagnetic (AF) interactions. The magnetic properties indicate that the dominant AF interactions between the $S_{\rm{V}}$ = 1/2 spins form a gapped singlet state, and the remaining $S_{\rm{Fe}}$ = 5/2 spins cause an AF order. The magnetization curve exhibits a linear increase up to approximately 7 T, and an unconventional 5/6 magnetization plateau appears between 7 T and 40 T. We discuss the differences between the effective interactions associated with the magnetic properties of the present compound and ($o$-MePy-V)FeCl$_4$. We explain the low-field linear magnetization curve through a mean-field approximation of an $S_{\rm{Fe}}$ = 5/2 spin model. At higher field regions, the 5/6 magnetization plateau and subsequent nonlinear increase are reproduced by the $S_{\rm{V}}$ = 1/2 AF dimer, in which a particular internal field is applied to one of the spin sites. The ESR resonance signals in the low-temperature and low-field regime are explained by conventional two-sublattice AF resonance modes with easy-axis anisotropy. These results demonstrate that exchange interactions between $S_{\rm{V}}$ = 1/2 and $S_{\rm{Fe}}$ = 5/2 spins in $[$$o$-MePy-V-($p$-Br)$_2]$FeCl$_4$ realize unconventional magnetic properties with low-field classical behavior and field-induced quantum behavior.

İzmir as Mediterranean Trade Port and Ottoman City in 19th Century
Creators: name: Gelişkan, Nil Nadire
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2024

description: İzmir occupies a prominent place among the Mediterranean port cities of the 19th century. The city is quite similar to other port cities in terms of trade dynamics but differs from them in the diversity of actors who had a say in trade. It can easily be said that İzmir was one of the plateaus of 19th century capital competition. Especially in the 19th century, the city was considered the second capital of the Ottoman Empire after Istanbul and continued to be one of its most important ports. In this period, the architectural and urban arrangements made by the Ottoman government on a local scale, as well as the urban transportation interventions made with the initiatives of western countries, significantly affected the morphology of the city. In this context, the morphological transformation of İzmir in the 19th century, its position within local, regional, and global networks, and its relationship with urban interventions will be evaluated through maps, drawings and documents related to railways and transportation.

Designing a Waterspace in a Sea of Land. The Basso Ferrarese: a Territory Poised Between Reclamations and Sea Level Rising
Creators: name: Grasso, Rosa
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2024

description: The Basso Ferrarese area in the Po Delta is an undecided place, suspended between land and sea, in search of its future. Its current conformation derives from a history linked first to a large marshy basin, then to centuries of reclamation. Although the reclamations have helped the agricultural use of the land, at the same time they have caused the disentanglement between population and site. At the same time, the threat of rising sea levels is looming. Through a series of journeys, the current landscapes of that sea of land that today forms the Basso Ferrarese have been recorded. A sea made up of many levels that limit and direct the reclamation channels. In a strong state of abandonment, what can be the future of the area? Through the creation of an imaginary for the water space and the study of the needs of a case study, 5 design actions have been identified to decolonize the delta from the land and regain contact with the water, at the same time preparing for the rise of the sea.

Convergence and Divergence in Mediterranean Port Cities
Creators: name: Sousa Santos, Rafael
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2024

description: The history of the Mediterranean region and its port cities is crucial in understanding the origin and development of many modern societies. These cities have always been characterized by their interdependent relationships, forming an essential part of a system of crucial regional and international routes, made possible and enriched by the sea. Simultaneously, these cities have been able to preserve their urban values while continuously adapting to new requirements and circumstances, making them ideal case studies of urban resilience. Despite their decisive role in the emergence of the global economic system, these cities have received little attention from the humanities and social sciences. This article aims to consider the Mediterranean port cities in relation to their historical context, their urban model, and their intrinsic and shared conditions. For this purpose, a narrative literature review is developed, with reference authors on this topic. Additionally, fiction resources are explored as a complementary research method based on the intersections between description and invention in three projects focused on the Mediterranean region and its port cities.

Effective Surface Impedance of Polycrystals Under Conditions of Anomalous Skin-Effect

description: The effective impedance of strongly anisotropic polycrystals has been investigated under the conditions of extremely anomalous skin effect. We were interested in finding out how the value of the effective impedance depends on the geometry of the Fermi surface of a single crystal grain. The previously obtained nonperturbative solution based on the application of the impedance (the Leontovich) boundary conditons was used to calculate the effective impedance of a polycrystalline metal. When the Fermi surface is a surface of revolution, the expression for the effective impedance is rather simple. Some model Fermi surfaces were examined. In the vicinity of the electronic topological transition the singularities of the effective impedance related to the change of the topology of the Fermi surface were calculated. Our results show that though a polycrystal is an isotropic medium in average, it is not sufficient to consider it as a metal with an effective spherical Fermi surface, since this can lead to the loss of some characteristic features of extremely anomalous skin effect in polycrystals.
