description: The applicability of the local hardness as defined by the derivative of the chemical potential with respect to the electron density is undermined by an essential ambiguity arising from this definition. Further, the local quantity defined in this way does not integrate to the (global) hardness - in contrast with the local softness, which integrates to the softness. It has also been shown recently that with the conventional formulae, the largest values of local hardness do not necessarily correspond to the hardest regions of a molecule. Here, in an attempt to fix these drawbacks, we propose a new approach to define and evaluate the local hardness. We define a local chemical potential, utilizing the fact that the chemical potential emerges as the additive constant term in the number-conserving functional derivative of the energy density functional. Then, differentiation of this local chemical potential with respect to the number of electrons leads to a local hardness that integrates to the hardness, and possesses a favourable property; namely, within any given electron system, it is in a local inverse relation with the Fukui function, which is known to be a proper indicator of local softness in the case of soft systems. Numerical tests for a few selected molecules and a detailed analysis, comparing the new definition of local hardness with the previous ones, show promising results.

title: The identification of novel root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus thornei & P. neglectus) resistances in Iranian landrace wheat (Triticum aestivum) and einkorn (T. monococcum) and their introgression into Australian wheat cultivars

description: The root-lesion nematodes (RLN) Pratylenchus thornei and P. neglectus are globally important pathogens of wheat that can reduce yields by up to 60% and 20%, respectively. They often occur together in mixed populations that are best managed through the incorporation of genetic tolerance and resistance into adapted wheat genotypes. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on a collection of 245 Iranian landrace wheats (ILWs) to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with P. thornei resistance, which were then validated using seven ILW-derived BC1F4 populations. A P. thornei-resistant subset of 91 ILWs were characterised for their P. neglectus resistance and were genetically analysed to determine if any carried the primary P. neglectus resistance genes used in Australia. ILW-derived breeding populations were selected for resistance to P. thornei and/or P. neglectus. Four einkorn-derived recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations were produced and evaluated for resistance to P. thornei to identify resistant RILs and to estimate the effective number of resistance genes using segregation and quantitative genetics analyses. Five novel QTL located on chromosomes 2B (x2), 3B, 5B and 7B were identified in the GWAS. Individual ILWs carried up to six QTL and final P. thornei population density decreased exponentially as QTL number per genotype increased. Ten KASP markers were validated in the BC1F4 populations, which carried two to five P. thornei-resistance QTL. Seven ILW accessions were identified as resistant to P. neglectus with five carrying novel P. neglectus resistance. Six ILW-derived breeding lines with resistance to both P. thornei and P. neglectus were developed. Evaluation of four einkorn-derived RIL populations identified 26 RILs that were resistant to P. thornei. Both segregation and quantitative genetics analyses indicated that one to two genes controlled the resistance in all populations. The ILWs are a valuable source of novel resistances to both P. thornei and P. neglectus. Analysing existing phenotypic data in a GWAS effectively identified P. thornei resistance QTL without the need to develop biparental populations. This is the first report of P. thornei resistance being transferred from einkorn to wheat. The five novel P. thornei resistance QTL and the 43 wheat breeding lines with resistance to P. thornei, P. neglectus or both P. thornei and P. neglectus will increase diversity in the genetic management of RLN and deliver new gene combinations to increase the overall level of resistance available to plant breeders.
An Integrated asset management of buried infrastructure : a BIM-based life cycle thinking framework

description: Water and sewer pipe networks are core public infrastructure critical for basic human services. These infrastructures should be sustainable as they consume natural resources and produce emissions into the environment during their life cycle. Water and sewer pipes should be sustainable based on their manufacturing and operation, which is typically evaluated using the established methods such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). Additionally, a standard data management system that can interact with various built environments and collaborate with various databases improves the decision-making process. Building Information Modelling (BIM) can be used for this purpose, which has the capability of collaboration and interoperability, which are useful for infrastructure conflict resolution and stakeholder management. This research has proposed a BIM-based life cycle thinking framework for integrated asset management of buried infrastructure using a stochastic approach such as the Markov-chain model. A geo-referenced 3D model was developed in Civil 3D using GIS shapefiles obtained from open-source data of the City of Kelowna municipality. The life cycle impacts of five different pipe materials were evaluated using LCA and LCCA for the developed 3D model that includes four phases: production, installation, maintenance, and disposal. The results of life cycle environmental impacts with all the midpoint impact categories are aggregated into a sustainability score using a weighted sum method and compared with ReCiPe’s single score. Furthermore, integrated maintenance is suggested as a possible alternative to conventional sequential maintenance, and a common trench is considered following the CSA, ASTM, ASCE, and AASHTO guidelines. The comparison of ReCiPe’s single score to the estimated life cycle sustainability impact (LCSI) index gave contrasting results, mainly in the analysis of ductile iron and PVC pipe materials. Based on the LCSI index, the pipe materials are ranked, and the best pipe material is selected. The integrated maintenance approach was found to be cost-effective with a life cycle cost savings of 18%, but at a cost of 19% greater CO2eq emissions. Nonetheless, when the LCSI index is considered, the integrated maintenance approach with a common trench has55% less life cycle environmental impacts than separate trenches. The proposed framework has demonstrated the potential for sustainable buried infrastructure through appropriate selection of pipe materials and integrated infrastructure management. Future research may expand the trench design with more green construction materials, that may further reduce the CO2eq emissions and conventional stochastic optimization techniques may be utilized for performance prediction models.

description: During the final moments of a binary black hole (BH) merger, the gravitational wave (GW) luminosity of the system is greater than the combined electromagnetic output of the entire observable universe. However, the extremely weak coupling between GWs and ordinary matter makes these waves very difficult to detect directly. Fortunately, the inspiraling BH system will interact strongly--on a purely Newtonian level--with any surrounding material in the host galaxy, and this matter can in turn produce unique electromagnetic (EM) signals detectable at Earth. By identifying EM counterparts to GW sources, we will be able to study the host environments of the merging BHs, in turn greatly expanding the scientific yield of a mission like LISA.

description: We have measured plasmon energies in Na under high pressure up to 43 GPa using inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS). The momentum-resolved results show clear deviations, growing with increasing pressure, from the predictions for a nearly-free electron metal. Plasmon energy calculations based on first-principles electronic band structures and a quasi-classical plasmon model allow us to identify a pressure-induced increase in the electron-ion interaction and associated changes in the electronic band structure as the origin of these deviations, rather than effects of exchange and correlation. Additional IXS results obtained for K and Rb are addressed briefly.

description: Questo lavoro di diploma tratta il tema della motivazione all’apprendimento in allievi di un corso base di matematica di quarta media nel contesto di un progetto interdisciplinare. Specificamente, l’obiettivo di questa ricerca-azione è quello di investigare in che modo la programmazione di un videogioco con Scratch stimola la motivazione degli allievi, favorendo così la comprensione di concetti legati alla genetica e alla probabilità. L’analisi qualitativa degli effetti del progetto sulla motivazione si basa sul confronto tra le risposte date dagli allievi a due questionari, insieme all’analisi delle videoregistrazioni delle lezioni passate in aula informatica. I dati raccolti mostrano che quasi tutti gli allievi, anche quelli senza esperienze pregresse nella programmazione, hanno apprezzato l’attività, dicendosi contenti di aver imparato a fare qualcosa di nuovo e di aver potuto usare il pensiero creativo. Sembra quindi che il percorso abbia avuto un effetto motivante sugli allievi. Non tutta la classe, però, ha riconosciuto la presenza di entrambe le discipline nel progetto: ciò solleva degli interrogativi riguardo le possibili ricadute sull’acquisizione di concetti disciplinari. Sulla base di questi risultati incoraggianti, in futuro andrebbe quindi analizzato quantitativamente in che modo un’attività di programmazione del genere possa favorire l’acquisizione di concetti disciplinari.

description: “Inclusione, dal latino inclusio-onis, è l’atto, il fatto di includere, cioè di inserire, di comprendere in una serie, in un tutto” (Treccani, n.d.). Il principio cardine di questo lavoro è proprio quello di includere, inserire nell’esperienza di apprendimento ciascun allievo, comprendendone i punti di forza e i punti di debolezza, con il traguardo di eliminare, in fase pregressa, gli ostacoli che potrebbero renderne difficile l’accessibilità. Secondo un approccio di tipo induttivo, la ricerca ha l’obiettivo di osservare quali effetti può avere un intervento focalizzato sull’organizzazione dei compiti a casa e del diario, pensato per un allievo con ADHD, applicato con l’allievo stesso e il resto della classe, per poi in fase finale riuscire ad ipotizzare dei collegamenti, tra quanto raccolto e quanto presente in letteratura. Alla classe sono stati proposti degli strumenti che favorissero l’organizzazione per un periodo di tempo, verificando l’andamento della percezione di sé stessi rispetto alla propria organizzazione e all’efficacia degli strumenti stessi, attraverso l’impiego di questionari ad inizio, a metà e a fine lavoro. Dal progetto emerge quanto un lavoro di questo genere favorisca, in questo caso specifico, l’organizzazione dei compiti e del diario, non solo dell’allievo con ADHD, bensì dell’intero gruppo classe. Nei risultati finali gli allievi hanno espresso delle valutazioni migliori rispetto alle proprie competenze organizzative. Relatrice: Roberta Zariatti Coppes.

Politically Engaged Scholars: An Analytic of Positions and Norms

Publisher: name: Workplace: A Journal for Academic Labor
Year: 2018

description: The following essay considers various possible roles of intellectuals in social change and some ways of evaluating these alternatives. It is important to recognize the alternatives as they complicate what we might initially envision as the nature and tasks of a scholar activist. The first section of the essay distinguishes some possible relations between expertise and politics, including not only integration, but also dissociation of the two. I conclude this first section by arguing that all these practices are potentially valuable. Thus, our assessment should not be focused on selecting among individual alternatives, but on fostering an effective distribution of activities in practice. Put simply, we should not all be the same.

description: We report an infrared spectroscopy study on K$_{0.83}$Fe$_{1.53}$Se$_2$, a semiconducting parent compound of the new iron-selenide system. The major spectral features are found to be distinctly different from all other Fe-based superconducting systems. Our measurement revealed two peculiar spectral structures: a double peak structure between 4000-6000 cm$^{-1}$ and abundant phonon modes much more than those expected for a 122 structure. We elaborate that those features could be naturally explained from the blocked antiferromagnetism due to the presence of Fe vacancy ordering as determined by recent neutron diffraction experiments. The double peaks reflect the coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic couplings between the neighboring Fe sites.

description: Critical approaches to the political landscape of higher education are often divided between suggesting either that the university is in such a ruins that it must be abandoned, or that it exists as one of the only vestiges of a public good that needs to be restored and defended. Here, we take an alternative approach to analyzing the crisis-ridden landscape of higher education: class composition, a term we inherit from militant co-research projects. As defined by Marta Malo de Molina, class composition is the “subjective structure of needs, behaviours and antagonist practices, sedimented through a long history of different struggles.” This use of composition seeks to understand how worker and student subjectivities are forged through antagonism and difference to capitalist exploitation and its investments in technology, development, and “progress.”

description: We initiate the study of Majorana fermion codes. These codes can be viewed as extensions of Kitaev's 1D model of unpaired Majorana fermions in quantum wires to higher spatial dimensions and interacting fermions. The purpose of Majorana fermion codes (MFCs) is to protect quantum information against low-weight fermionic errors, that is, operators acting on sufficiently small subsets of fermionic modes. We examine to what extent MFCs can surpass qubit stabilizer codes in terms of their stability properties. A general construction of 2D MFCs is proposed which combines topological protection based on a macroscopic code distance with protection based on fermionic parity conservation. Finally, we use MFCs to show how to transform any qubit stabilizer code to a weakly self-dual CSS code.

Resolving the Contradictions of Academic Unionism

description: Economic crises are never just economic—they call into question the legitimacy of all major social institutions and the governing value system that unifies them into a hegemonic way of life. That is why crises are always moments of possibility for systemic change—the contradiction between the ruling value system and people’s life-requirements is exposed, opening a shared space for critical, democratic reflection on alternatives to a failing status quo. If democratic mobilization is to be defeated and the crisis resolved on the ruling class’s terms, new ways of running existing institutions must be devised.

description: I would like to begin with some reflections on the theme of this double issue of Works and Days and Cultural Logic, Transforming Praxis in and beyond the University. The phrase, “transforming praxis,” which obviously refers to Marx’s work, is a pleonasm. For Marx, all praxis is transformative, although the object and mode of transformation varies in the two kinds of praxis he describes.

description: A seguito del cedimento di un ancoraggio del vecchio ponte sospeso causato da una forte alluvione è stata richiesta la progettazione di un ponte che ristabilisse il collegamento tra le due sponde del fiume Brenno. I vincoli del progetto riguardano la distanza minima tra le spalle del ponte di 100m rispetto ai 60m della struttura precedente. Non è possibile attuare opere di premunizione contro le alluvioni, ma si è optato per lasciare maggiore margine d’azione al corso naturale del fiume allargando l’arginatura. L’utilizzo di appoggi intermedi all’interno dell’alveo non è stato vincolato.

Lukács, Mariátegui, and the Dialectical Roots of Edu-Activism

description: My intention in this paper is to interrogate the “origins” of Freire’s methodology by focusing on the works of José Carlos Mariátegui and Georg Lukács, both of whom wrote extensively on the question of Marxist dialectics and the dynamism of revolutionary engagement. My intention here is twofold: (1) to examine Lukács and Mariátegui as a framework for grasping in concrete terms the complexities of Freire’s radical pedagogical methodology and (2) to probe further what Lukács argues is the “necessary bond between consciousness and action” that underlies the essence of what this essay terms “edu-activism,” or the consequential outcome of Freire’s conscientization paradigm.

Transversity form factors of the pion in chiral quark models

description: The transversity form factors of the pion, involving matrix elements of bilocal tensor currents, are evaluated in chiral quark models, both in the local Nambu--Jona-Lasinio with the Pauli-Villars regularization, as well as in nonlocal models involving momentum-dependent quark mass. After suitable QCD evolution the agreement with recent lattice calculations is very good, in accordance to the fact that the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry governs the dynamics of the pion. Meson dominance of form factors with expected meson masses also works properly, conforming to the parton-hadron duality in the considered process.

Investigating the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate Near the Supernova Remnant IC 443 Through H3+ Observations

description: Observational and theoretical evidence suggests that high-energy Galactic cosmic rays are primarily accelerated by supernova remnants. If also true for low-energy cosmic rays, the ionization rate near a supernova remnant should be higher than in the general Galactic interstellar medium (ISM). We have searched for H3+ absorption features in 6 sight lines which pass through molecular material near IC 443---a well-studied case of a supernova remnant interacting with its surrounding molecular material---for the purpose of inferring the cosmic-ray ionization rate in the region. In 2 of the sight lines (toward ALS 8828 and HD 254577) we find large H3+ column densities, N(H3+)~3*10^14 cm^-2, and deduce ionization rates of zeta_2~2*10^-15 s^-1, about 5 times larger than inferred toward average diffuse molecular cloud sight lines. However, the 3 sigma upper limits found for the other 4 sight lines are consistent with typical Galactic values. This wide range of ionization rates is likely the result of particle acceleration and propagation effects, which predict that the cosmic-ray spectrum and thus ionization rate should vary in and around the remnant. While we cannot determine if the H3+ absorption arises in post-shock (interior) or pre-shock (exterior) gas, the large inferred ionization rates suggest that IC 443 is in fact accelerating a large population of low-energy cosmic rays. Still, it is unclear whether this population can propagate far enough into the ISM to account for the ionization rate inferred in diffuse Galactic sight lines.

Low temperature properties of holographic condensates

description: In the current work we study various models of holographic superconductors at low temperature. Generically the zero temperature limit of those models are solitonic solution with a zero sized horizon. Here we generalized simple version of those zero temperature solutions to small but non-zero temperature T. We confine ourselves to cases where near horizon geometry is AdS^4. At a non-zero temperature a small horizon would form deep inside this AdS^4 which does not disturb the UV physics. The resulting geometry may be matched with the zero temperature solution at an intermediate length scale. We understand this matching from separation of scales by setting up a perturbative expansion in gauge potential. We have a better analytic control in abelian case and quantities may be expressed in terms of hypergeometric function. From this we calculate low temperature behavior of various quatities like entropy, charge density and specific heat etc. We also calculate various energy gaps associated with p-wave holographic superconductor to understand the underlying pairing mechanism. The result deviates significantly from the corresponding weak coupling BCS counterpart.

Ionic interactions in EMAA ionomer blends : a rheological and mechanical property investigation

description: Polyethylene-co-methacrylic acid (EMAA) ionomers are functionalized polymers with up to 15% carboxylic acid groups neutralized by counterions such as sodium, zinc, or lithium. Due to the polarity difference between the polar cations and the nonpolar hydrocarbon chain, ionic groups aggregate into clusters which act as crosslinks leading to improved mechanical strength, viscosity, and self-healing properties. The analysis done in this study shows that binary mixtures of two different cations further enhance the rheological and mechanical properties such as complex viscosity, Young’s modulus, and yield strength. The enhancement is beyond what is calculated through the linear combination of the corresponding properties of the individual components forming the blends. The morphological change supporting the synergism is suggested to be an increased cluster strength and phase segregation for highly neutralized EMAA ionomers. However, this synergism is not observed for large stresses and deformations outside the linear region due to the deformation of clusters as a stress-release mechanism. Investigation of interaction in binary ionic binary blends of EMAA ionomers is measured using linear, nonlinear, and extensional rheology in the melt state, and using dynamic mechanical tensile testing in the solid state. A universal parameter, the “Molecular weight-normalized Neutralization” (NMW), is developed and found to be correlated to the presence of rheological and mechanical property enhancement for all binary blends. NMW is composed of the inverse of molecular weight and of neutralization. High NMW obtained through high degrees of combined cation neutralization and low combined molecular weight ionomers are correlated with higher degrees of enhancement. More significant synergism has been found for blends containing zinc counterions due to the high valency of their ionic charge compared to sodium or lithium counterions.
