Subjects: Energy generation, conversion and storage (excl. chemical and electrical)

description: The numerical calculation of the electromagnetic fields within electric machines is sensitive to the magnetic characteristic of steel. However, the magnetic characteristic of steel is uncertain due to fluctuations in alloy composition, possible contamination, and other manufacturing process variations including punching. Previous attempts to quantify magnetic uncertainty due to punching are based on parametric analytical models of B-H curves, where the uncertainty is reflected by model parameters. In this work, we set forth a data-driven approach for quantifying the uncertainty due to punching in B-H curves. In addition to the magnetic characteristics of steel lamination, the remanent flux density (Br) exhibited by the permanent magnets in a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is also uncertain due to unpredictable variations in the manufacturing process. Previous studies consider the impact of uncertainties in B-H curves and Br of the permanent magnets on the average torque, cogging torque, torque ripple and losses of a PMSM. However, studies pertaining to the impact of these uncertainties on the combined machine/drive system of a PMSM is scarce in the literature. Hence, the objective of this work is to study the effect of B-H and Br uncertainties on the performance of a PMSM machine/drive system using a validated finite element simulator. Our approach is as follows. First, we use principal component analysis to build a reduced-order stochastic model of B-H curves from a synthetic dataset containing B-H curves affected by punching. Second, we model the the uncertainty in Br and other uncertainties in B-H characteristics e.g., due to unknown state of the material composition and unavailability of accurate data in deep saturation region. Third, to overcome the computational limitations of the finite element simulator, we replace it with surrogate models based on Gaussian process regression. Fourth, we perform propagation studies to assess the effect of B-H and Br uncertainties on the average torque, torque ripple and the PMSM machine/drive system using the constructed surrogate models.

description: More than ten years have passed since the 2007 MLA Ad Hoc Committee of Foreign Languages report recommended structural and curricular change initiatives to counteract the growing crisis in postsecondary world language education. Almost a decade earlier, Heidi Byrnes had already expounded on the need to replace persistent bifurcated curricular legacy systems in world language education with clearly articulated programs across the entire undergraduate spectrum. To do so, she argued, faculty members at all levels needed to abandon unrealistic and nativist expectations of student proficiency, stop pitting teaching against research, and replace the dictates of a textbook or chosen methodology with well-thought-out curricula. She also urged practitioners to engage in “deep reflection on the value of foreign language study in a collegiate context” to help “learners perform the humanist act of discovering themselves” through the acquisition of multiple literacies (278). If we consider John Kotter’s change theory (1993), world language practitioners have been aware of a sense of urgency to devise and enact change since the 1990s; however, attempts at building a guiding coalition or forming a strategic vision and initiatives have—with few notable exceptions—rarely been enacted or yielded many tangible results at the department level.

description: Violence is of considerable relevance to Public Health. It was the aim of the violence screening implemented as part of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) to assess data on physical and psychological violence in various social environments (partnership, family, workplace, public space). For the first time as part of a nationally representative health survey, the data were collected from the perspective of victim and perpetrator both among women and men. The study population was comprised of 5,939 participants aged between 18 and 64 years. Approximately every 20th participant reported being the victim of physical violence in the preceding 12 months, men significantly more frequently than women. With regard to the frequency of being the perpetrator of physical violence (overall prevalence 3.7%) there were no significant differences between the sexes. Psychological victimisation was reported by every fifth participant and overall perpetrating psychological violence was reported by every tenth. Women tended to be more frequently the victims but they were also significantly more frequently the perpetrators of both physical and psychological violence in the domestic area (partnership, family). In contrast, men more frequently reported being both the perpetrator and the victim of violence in the workplace and in public spaces. Young adults between 18 and 29 years as well as persons of low socioeconomic status were consistently more frequently affected by violence although there were exceptions with regard to psychological victimisation. More than three-quarters of the victims of physical violence reported being greatly or extremely affected in their well-being by the violence and in the case of psychological violence the rate was about approximately 60%. Impairments in well-being following physical and psychological violence were considerably higher in men, especially in the case of domestic violence (partnership, family). Overall, women reported a greater sense of wrongdoing following violence perpetration than men; as to the perpetration of violence towards a partner, however, there was no difference between the sexes in this regard.

description: Between 1870 and 1888, in the letters and sketches of his correspondance, Rimbaud is portrayed as an eternal traveller. The places of his wanderings change (countryside, cities, imaginary places), so does his representation by Verlaine, Delahaye and Nouveau. From reality to imagination, the sketches fix Rimbaud in his friends’ memory. Yet his representation gradually fades away and becomes, through his absence, the very symbol of space.

description: Schmerz hat als weit verbreitete Gesundheitsstörung nicht nur Konsequenzen für die Lebensqualität des einzelnen akut oder chronisch Schmerzkranken, sondern stellt darüber hinaus Anforderungen an das Gesundheitssystem. Die Daten des Bundes-Gesundheitssurveys ermöglichen erstmalig für die gesamte Bundesrepublik Deutschland repräsentative Aussagen zur Auftretenshäufigkeit von Schmerz, dessen Lokalisation und Intensität. Zudem ermöglicht die Datenlage eine Differenzierung nach Alter, Geschlecht und Schichtzugehörigkeit. Welch große Bedeutung der Schmerz für das Wohlbefinden des Menschen hat, wird mit Hilfe des SF-36 als Messinstrument für gesundheitlich bedingte Lebensqualität überzeugend belegt. Die Zusammenhänge zwischen bestimmten Krankheitsbildern und dem Auftreten von Schmerzen in unterschiedlicher Intensität, werden hier nur ansatzweise und exemplarisch für Migräne und Arthrose untersucht. Weitere komplexe Auswertungen der schmerzepidemiologischen Daten sind geplant.
description: Pain is a widely occurring disturbance of well-being and has serious consequences for the quality of life of patients suffering from acute or chronic pain. Thus, pain makes high demands on the health system. For the first time in the Federal Republic of Germany the National Health Interview and Examination Survey allows to make representative statements concerning the prevalence of pain, its intensity, frequency, duration and localisation. Furthermore, the results enable to differentiate according to age, gender, and social classes. The SF-36, used as an instrument to measure health related quality of life, has been employed to demonstrate the overwhelming significance of pain for the well-being of the population. In this publication the connection between certain disease syndromes like migraine and arthrosis and the prevalence of different qualities of pain is investigated. Additional more complex evaluation of the epidemiological data on pain are in preparation.

description: The Oulipo has claimed that foreign member, Italo Calvino, was a key proponent of the clinamen, a purposeful deviation from the strict constraints in which the group specializes. However, upon closer inspection, Calvino’s Oulipian production during his Paris period does not seem to advance a formalized definition of this tool of constrained writing. This paper elucidates his theorization and subsequent implementation of this fundamental Oulipian principle and argues that it is Calvino’s metaphorical (rather than a strict) use of the clinamen that influenced the Oulipo.

description: A total of 2475 animals from Germany, both captive and wild, were tested for antibodies against Francisella tularensis to obtain more knowledge about the presence of this pathogen in Germany. An indirect and a competitive ELISA served as screening methods, positive and inconclusive samples were confirmed by Western blot. Of the zoo animals sampled between 1992 and 2007 (n = 1122), three (0·3%) were seropositive. The seroconversion of a hippopotamus in Berlin Zoo was documented. From 1353 serum samples of wild foxes (Vulpes vulpes), raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and wild boars (Sus scrofa), collected between 2005 and 2009 in the federal state of Brandenburg (surrounding Berlin), a total of 101 (7·5%) tested positive for antibodies to F. tularensis lipopolysaccharide. Our results indicate a higher seroprevalence of F. tularensis in wildlife in eastern Germany than commonly assumed. Furthermore, we found foxes and raccoon dogs to be biological indicators for tularaemia.

description: Given the powerful influence that music carries in all cultures, it is ideal that everyone have the access and means to learn and understand music. Music visualizations are powerful tools which have proven abilities to help people learn and understand music, as well as enjoy the music. However, when used for educational purposes, it is imperative that the visualization be accurate. This thesis investigated the creation of a visualization which could take input from a live guitar and, in real time, accurately display the pitch within ±2¢, correctly display the note name, and transcribe the note onto the Western music staff. Research was conducted on the history of music visualizations, types of music visualizations and their uses, and commonly used methods of pitch detection.
Processing©3 was selected as the development environment for creating the visualization. Autocorrelation was chosen as the method of pitch detection. Sine waves accurate to 0.01 Hz were generated in MATLAB and used to test the visualization. A tc electronic® PolyTune® 2 guitar tuning pedal was used to tune the guitar before input into the visualization. This served as a means to verify the accuracy of the visualization’s output. A Rocksmith® 1/4-inch to USB cable was used to bring the live guitar signal into the visualization.
Processing©3 served as a successful tool for creating the music visualization. The visualization correctly displayed the note name, transcribed the note onto the Western music staff, displayed the audio input, displayed the FFT of the audio input, and accurately displayed the pitch in real time. However, autocorrelation did not give the desired results for pitch accuracy. The detected pitch was not consistently accurate to the desired ±2¢. But, the pitch was accurate toat least ±8¢ over the open string range (E2 to E4), and at least ±18¢ over the full range of the guitar (E2 to D6). Though Processing©3 worked well to create the visualization, it may not be the best tool for processing the audio when high accuracy is desired in real time.

description: Possibilities to study the biology of human protozoan parasites and their interaction with the host remain severely limited, either because of non-existent or inappropriate animal models or because parasites cannot even be cultured in vitro due to strict human-host specificity or physiology. Here we discuss the prospects of using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived culture systems including organoids as a strategy to address many of these experimental bottlenecks. iPSCs already allow the generation of differentiated cell cultures for many human organs, and these cells and derivatives are amenable to reverse genetics in combination with advanced tools for genetic manipulation. We present examples of blood, neuron, liver, and intestine-dwelling protozoa, i.e. Plasmodium falciparum, Toxoplasma gondii and Giardia duodenalis, where iPSCs or organoids would allow addressing questions of cell and developmental biology, immunology, and pharmacology in unprecedented ways. Starting points and resources for iPSC experimentation are briefly discussed.

description: Infections with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) can lead to severe sequelae; however, they are not notifiable in Germany. We tested urine samples from participants of KiGGS (German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents) for CT infections and linked the results to demographic and behavioural data from 1,925 participants (girls aged 15–17 years and boys aged 16–17 years) to determine a representative prevalence of CT infection in adolescents in Germany and to assess associated risk factors. Prevalence of CT infection was 2.2% (95% CI: 1.4–3.5) in girls and 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1–0.7) in boys. CT infection in girls was associated with higher use of alcohol, marijuana and cigarettes, lower social status, oral contraceptive use, pregnancy, repeated lower abdominal pain and higher rates of doctors’ consultations within the preceding three months and consultation of gynaecologists within the last 12 months. In multiple logistic regression, we identified two predictors for CT infection: marijuana consumption often or several times within the last 12 months (F(1,164)=7.56; p

Investigation of the Acute Digestive Symptoms Caused by Milks with Different Beta-casein Protein Variants in Dairy Intolerant Persons

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Nutrition and dietetics not elsewhere classified

description: Cows’ milk generally contains two types of β-casein, A1 and A2 types. A2 beta-casein is recognized as the original beta-casein variant because it was present before a proline to histidine point mutation occurrence in the polypeptide chain at 67th position. A1 and A2 are processed differently by digestive enzymes, and once milk or milk products are consumed, a seven-amino acid bioactive opioid peptide, beta-casomorphin-7, is released as a result of incomplete digestion of A1-beta-casein. This is a single-dose, randomized and double-blinded study. Participants received four different treatments (Regular milk, A2 milk, Jersey cow milk, and lactose free milk) in a randomized order. The lactose free milk acted as a negative control. This study aimed to evaluate tolerance to milks containing different levels of A2 β-casein (Jersey and A2 milks) as compared to commercial A1 (regularmilk containing both A1 and A2 β-casein) and lactose-free milk controls in lactose digesters and maldigesters. Seven subjects completed this double-blinded, randomized, crossover trial. Lactose malabsorption (LM) was determined by breath hydrogen test and milk intolerance were assessed by validated questionnaires. Treatments were fed as a single dose with a 6-day washout period to minimize any residual effects. Each subject was fed milk containing 0.5 g lactose per kg body weight. The pilot data from the seven subjects does strongly suggest greater hydrogen production from commercial A1 milk as compared to lactose-free, A2 and Jersey milks. Regular milk containing high A1 β-casein produced significantly higher hydrogen compared to lactose-free milk from 2 hours until 5hours. This suggests biologically relevant differences in lactose digestion among these milks. In addition, Jersey milk produced significantly higher hydrogen compared to lactose-free milk similar to regular milk between 2 and 6 hours while A2 milk was acting similar to lactose-free milk and did not result in increased hydrogen throughout the same time intervals. Taken together, these results suggest that the amount of A2 β-casein in Jersey milk was not adequate to attenuate the increased hydrogen concentration while pure A2 milk was effective. In this pilot clinical trial, abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, fecal urgency and total GI symptoms were reported as measures of digestive discomfort. Although the mean values of total GI symptom scores were numerically lower on the lactose free, pure A2 and Jersey group compared to regular milk group, none were statistically different. With seven subjects reported in this pilot data, and a calculated sample size requirement of 26, we can interpret trends that ultimately could result in significant differences as additional subjects complete this protocol.

description: This article examines the epilogue of Dostoevskii’s novel Crime and Punishment from the perspective of genre and generic expectation. Considering two generic plots that appear in the novel, the detective plot and the redemption narrative, the author argues that the imagined reader’s generic expectation is both satisfied and thwarted in each case. The author introduces the idea of “generic stasis” to refer to Raskol'nikov’s situation vis-à-vis generic plot in each plot trajectory of the epilogue. In upsetting generic expectation, this state of generic stasis creates an opening that enables the novel’s ending to occur. In this sense, the article argues for the utility of the epilogue’s generic hybridity in resisting narrative pre-determination.
Improving Storm Surge Hazard Characterization Using "Pseudo-surge" to Augment Hydrodynamic Simulation Outputs

description: Joint probability methods for assessing storm surge flood risk involve the use of a collection of hydrodynamic storm simulations to fit a response surface model describing the functional relationship between storm surge and storm parameters like central pressure deficit and the radius of maximum wind speed. However, in areas with a sufficiently low probability of flooding, few storms in the simulated storm suite may produce surge, with most storms leaving the location dry with zero flooding. Analysts could treat these zero-depth, “non-wetting” storms as either truncated or censored data. If non-wetting storms are excluded from the training set used to fit the storm surge response surface, the resulting suite of wetting storms may have too few observations to produce a good fit; in the worst case, the model may no longer be identifiable. If non-wetting storms are censored using a constant value, this could skew the response surface fit. The problem is that non-wetting storms are indistinguishable, but some storms may have been closer to wetting than others for a given location. To address these issues, this thesis proposes the concept of a negative surge, or “pseudo-surge”, value with the intent to describe how close a storm came to causing surge at a location. Optimal pseudo-surge values are determined by their ability to improve the predictive performance of the response surface via minimization of a modified least squares error function. We compare flood depth exceedance estimates generated with and without pseudo-surge to determine the value of perfect information. Though not uniformly reducing flood depth exceedance estimate bias, pseudo-surge values do make improvements for some regions where <40% of simulated storms produced wetting. Furthermore, pseudo-surge values show potential to replace a post-processing heuristic implemented in the state-of-the-art response surface methodology that corrects flood depth exceedance estimates for locations where very few storms cause wetting.

description: Background: From May-July 2011, Germany experienced a large Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O104:H4 outbreak. Our objective was to identify the prevalence of STEC O104:H4 carriers in households in highly affected areas, the rate of secondary household transmissions, and the duration of long-term shedding. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we recruited case and control households to determine STEC household prevalence; we then conducted a prospective cohort study (≥2-persons households with ≥1 case) for rates of household transmission and shedding duration. Results: For part 1, we recruited 57 case households (62 cases and 93 household contacts) and 36 control households (89 household members). We only detected cases in previously known case households and identified 1 possible adult-to-adult household transmission. For part 2, we followed 14 households and 20 carriers. No secondary household transmission was detected in the prospective follow-up. The longest prolonged shedding lasted >7 months, however, median estimated shedding time was 10-14 days (95% CI: 0-33 days). Three carriers showed intermittent shedding. Conclusions: Prevalence of STEC O104:H4 carriers even in highly affected areas appears to be low. Despite prolonged shedding in some patients, secondary adult-to-adult household transmissions seem to be rare events in the post-diarrheal disease phase.

Factors Affecting Internal Nitrogen Efficiency of Corn
Creators: name: Shafer, Matthew E.
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Agronomy

description: Internal N efficiency (IE) is defined as the amount of grain dry matter (GDM) produced per unit of N in the above ground plant at physiological maturity (PMN). Currently, a static value of IE (48 kg GDM kg-1 N) is used to define the optimal PMN in yield goal-based N recommendations used in 30 U.S. states and several N recommendation models. To evaluate the accuracy and variability of this value of IE at the economic optimum N rate (IEE), experiments were conducted at 47 sites located in eight states over a three year period (2014-2016). To establish IEE, N treatments ranged from 0 to 315 kg N ha-1 in 45 kg N ha-1 increments, applied either at-planting or split with 45 kg N ha-1 at-planting and the remainder at the V9±1 V-stage. Average IEE across all site-years was 53 kg GDM kg-1 N with 79% of the observations between 46 and 60 kg GDM kg-1 N, higher than the currently accepted value of IE. Half of the time the timing of N application affected IEE, with greater IEE with split N in 70% of these instances due to lower PMN arising from reduced stover dry matter. In most cases the timing of N did not affect IEE. Across all site-years, GDM at the EONR or EONR were unrelated to IEE. Plant N content at VT of the non-fertilized and 45 kg N ha-1 at planting treatments were single variables most highly correlated with IEE (p ≤ 0.10, r = -0.42 and -0.50, respectively). These variables reflected the amount of residual or available N retained in the plant and/or SDM at the optimal N rate. Other factors such as plant available water content at various depths and crop reflectance at the V9 leaf stage (sufficiency and simple ratio indices for both NDVI and NDRE at 0 and 45 kg N ha-1) were negatively related to IEE across all site-years, but only weakly. Predictive models for IEE at planting and prior to sidedressing accounted for < 50% of the variation in IEE. Internal N efficiency varied considerably, but was difficult to predict, thus contributing to the inaccuracy of the yield-goal based N recommendations.

description: Does the shift away from following or portraying the typical Asian male in my own life help Asians as a whole? Yes. Doing so can help Asian-Americans because it might allow others who view or interact with me to then change their perceptions about other Asian males and help them be more open-minded and accepting. This personal essay explores such notions.

Making Lists, Keeping Time: Infrastructures of Black Inquiry, 1900-1950

description: This essay places at the center of twentieth-century African American knowledge production the librarians and collectors who mapped blackness as a capacious site of inquiry in the decades before Black Studies. Between 1900 and 1950, they created infrastructures for inquiry into black history and culture through the production of bibliographies, catalogs, and indexes. A study of these list-making genres illuminates the contested terrain of infrastructure-building for black thought, while also confronting the frequent elisions of curatorial labor in theories of the archive. What becomes apparent when we turn to these figures is that acts of enumeration and organization were urgent and endemic to black thought in the first half of the twentieth century. At a time when black scholars could not access archives and when major reference works did not index black-authored periodicals, the stakes of enumeration were high. In a racially segregated information landscape, black thinkers necessarily made their arguments through lists and catalogs as well as through poetry and prose.

Mindreading and Social Status

Subjects: subject: Race

subject: Social classes

description: Would you like to get better at mindreading (i.e., at inferring people's beliefs, desires, and intentions, based on their behavior)? As it turns out, all you would have to do is lower your relative social status. Studies have shown that people in weaker social positions engage in more active and perceptive mindreading than do people in stronger social positions. (In fact, those in superior social position may assert their status by refusing to read mental states of others.) This essay shows that writers can intuitively manipulate their characters' sociocognitive complexity, by either following or subverting these real-life dynamics, often figured along the lines of class, race, and gender.
Romance and the Psychosocial Adjustment of Indonesian Adolescents

Subjects: Psychology of ageing

description: The associations between religiosity, popularity, problem behavior, and adolescent romantic involvement were examined with both concurrent regressions and longitudinal cross-lagged models in this three-year longitudinal study of 869 high-school Indonesian Muslim adolescents. A problem behavior construct was formed from three variables (i.e., self-reported tobacco use, self-reported alcohol use, and self-reported deviancy). Religiosity, problem behavior, and adolescent romance were self-reported, and popularity was peer-reported. Indonesian adolescents reported high percentages of romantic involvement across three grades, and their romantic involvement increased with age. In the concurrent analyses, both problem behavior and popularity were positively associated with romance at tenth grade, but the main effect of popularity was significant for girls only. Religiosity was negatively associated with romance for girls at tenth grade. In the cross-lagged models, tenth-grade popularity was positively associated with changes in adolescent romance from tenth to eleventh grade. Bidirectional associations emerged between problem behavior and adolescent romance across three grades. No gender difference emerged in the longitudinal analyses. These patterns of association showed both similarities and differences to those found in the US. This study provides evidence that adolescent romance is intertwined with other aspects of adolescent development in Indonesia, and highlights the importance of exploring the influences of culture on adolescent romance in future studies.

description: Ein wesentliches Ziel der Surveillance lebensmittelbedingter Infektionserkrankungen ist das frühzeitige Erkennen von Krankheitsausbrüchen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist eine systematische flächendeckende Feintypisierungssurveillance ein besonders wertvolles Instrument für ausgewählte bakterielle Erreger, wie z. B. enterohämorrhagische E. coli (EHEC), Listeria monocytogenes, oder bestimmte Salmonellen-Serovare. Mit molekularen Methoden der Feintypisierung werden Erregerisolate von Patienten weitergehend und möglichst auf der klonalen Ebene charakterisiert, um identische Erregerstämme und damit Ausbrüche zu entdecken und Erkrankte einem bestimmten Ausbruchsgeschehen zuzuordnen. In dem hier vorgelegten Plädoyer wird aus Sicht der Infektionsepidemiologie begründet, warum in Deutschland für ausgewählte bakterielle Erreger eine systematische flächendeckende Feintypisierungssurveillance notwendig ist und welche entscheidenden Vorteile sie bietet.
description: Timely outbreak detection is a major objective of the surveillance of food-borne infections. In this regard molecular subtyping is a very useful tool for several bacterial pathogens, e.g. enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), Listeria monocytogenes and various serotypes of non-typhoidal Salmonella. The basis is the characterization of patient isolates by molecular methods, preferably at the clonal level. The goal is to find groups of identical isolates which may indicate that they share a common origin, i.e. they might belong to an outbreak. In this article we put forward strong reasons why a systematic nationwide molecular subtyping surveillance is needed for selected bacterial pathogens in Germany.

description: In March 2011, the German sentinel surveillance system for influenza (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Influenza (AGI)) was complemented by an Internet-based syndromic monitoring system (GrippeWeb) for acute respiratory infections (ARI) and influenza-like-illness (ILI). To assess representativeness of GrippeWeb participants, key demographic variables and lifetime prevalence of asthma and diabetes were compared with data from the general population of Germany. To ‘validate’ GrippeWeb, we compared weekly ARI and medically attended ARI (MAARI) rates, generated between weeks 35/2011 and 34/2012, with AGI MAARI rates and overlaid GrippeWeb ILI rates with the number of positive influenza samples obtained by the AGI. GrippeWeb had high weekly participation rates (62% of participants reported in ≥90% of possible weeks). Although it varied by age group, participants reported a mean of between 1.3 and 6.0 ARI episodes and between 0.1 and 2.4 ILI episodes during the study year. Estimated GrippeWeb MAARI incidence was very similar to the AGI MAARI incidence and influenza circulation was reflected well in the GrippeWeb ILI rates. GrippeWeb became a reliable monitoring system shortly after implementation, capturing the burden of ARI and ILI at general population level. The high degree of agreement between GrippeWeb’s and AGI’s MAARI data lends support to the validity of both systems.
The Forbidden City: Tombolo between American Occupation and Italian Imagination

description: Largely ignored by scholarship and increasingly occluded in historical memory, Tombolo was once so central to Italian culture and politics that even allusive references to the term could conjure the doubt, anxiety, and indignation of a society working to recover after the war. A pine grove located between Pisa and Livorno, Tombolo housed a large American encampment, which was both a key staging site for the Allied invasion of Italy and a centre of power for the post-war American occupation. It was also the site of a flourishing black market, rampant prostitution, and racial tensions, which combined to give it an outsized role in the Allied occupation as well as in the Italian imagination. Indeed, a mix of prurience and prejudice made Tombolo a kind of Italian obsession after the war. It became the "città proibita" or forbidden city, the subject of lurid tales of white slavery, murder, and kidnapping, money laundering, and thefts totalling billions of lire. In countless journalistic exposes, short stories, novels, and even two neorealist films-Tombolo, paradiso nero (Ferroni, 1947) and Senza pietà (Lattuada, 1948)-Tombolo was the staging ground for a cultural confrontation with the transgressions of the Second World War and the post-war occupation. As such representations made clear, violent clashes in Tombolo pitted not only American against Italian but also white against black, northern against southern, man against woman, Right against Left. In art as in life, therefore, Tombolo became the "contact zone" for the competing racial regimes of Jim Crow and Fascism, and for the resistance against those regimes: the nascent American Civil Rights movement and Italian anti-Fascism. Then it was largely-but not entirely-forgotten. I argue that, despite this willful act of collective forgetting, the contact and conflict of Tombolo substantially re-shaped both Italian and American society in the years that followed the conclusion of the Second World War.
