description: We present an evaluation of several representative sampling-based and optimization-based motion planners, and then introduce an integrated motion planning system which incorporates recent advances in trajectory optimization into a sparse roadmap framework. Through experiments in 4 common application scenarios with 5000 test cases each, we show that optimization-based or sampling-based planners alone are not effective for realistic problems where fast planning times are required. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that presents such a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art motion planners, which are based on a significant amount of experiments. We then combine different stand-alone planners with trajectory optimization. The results show that the combination of our sparse roadmap and trajectory optimization provides superior performance over other standard sampling-based planners combinations. By using a multi-query roadmap instead of generating completely new trajectories for each planning problem, our approach allows for extensions such as persistent control policy information associated with a trajectory across planning problems. Also, the sub-optimality resulting from the sparsity of roadmap, as well as the unexpected disturbances from the environment, can both be overcome by the real-time trajectory optimization process.

description: The physical origin of enhanced star formation activity in interacting galaxies remains an open question. Knowing whether starbursts are triggered by an increase of the quantity of dense gas or an increase of the star formation efficiency would improve our understanding of galaxy evolution and allow to transpose the results obtained in the local Universe to high redshift galaxies. In this paper, we analyze a parsec-resolution simulation of an Antennae-like model of interacting galaxies. We find that the interplay of physical processes has complex and important variations in time and space, through different combinations of mechanisms like tides, shear and turbulence. These can have similar imprints on observables like depletion time and CO emission. The densest gas only constitutes the tail of the density distribution of some clouds, but exists in large excess in others. The super-linearity of the star formation rate dependence on gas density implies that this excess translates into a reduction of depletion times, and thus leads to a deviation from the classical star formation regime, visible up to galactic scales. These clouds are found in all parts of the galaxies, but their number density varies from one region to the next, due to different cloud assembly mechanisms. Therefore, the dependence of cloud and star formation-related quantities (like CO flux and depletion time) on the scale at which they are measured also varies across the galaxies. We find that the $α_{\rm CO}$ conversion factor between the CO luminosity and molecular gas mass has even stronger spatial than temporal variations in a system like the Antennae. These results raise a number of cautionary notes for the interpretation of observations of unresolved star-forming regions, but also predict that the diversity of environments for star formation will be better captured by the future generations of instruments.

Il Medioevo come storia inventata: falsi, ucronie e "mappae mundi"
Creators: name: Barbierato, Enrico
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2021

description: L’analisi di un periodo storico attraverso la sua narrazione, sia esso il Medioevo o persino un’epoca più recente, considera una moltitudine di fonti, assai eterogenee e di forma non sempre immediata. In alcuni casi uno studioso può nutrire un interesse perfino secondario per un documento storico in sé, rivolgendo l’attenzione alle motivazioni e al contesto che hanno portato alla creazione e alla conservazione di una testimonianza, sia essa scritta, orale o iconografica. La lettura del passato apre diverse prospettive: è possibile rintracciare un genere narrativo che più di ogni altro meglio descrive il Medioevo? In quale senso una fonte (un falso, una biografia, un resoconto controfattuale) arricchisce la nostra conoscenza del passato? È sensato estendere lo studio a testimonianze non strettamente testuali o iconografiche, come le mappe geografiche? La riflessione che poggia su questi quesiti rivela un Medioevo in parte inventato, una fantasia che non è tuttavia l’ombra del passato storico, bensì il suo complemento. Analysing an historical period, such as the Middle Ages, or a more recent era, through its narration, must take into consideration many heterogeneous sources, whose form is not always immediately identifiable. In some cases, scholars may even have a secondary interest in a specific historical document, preferring to study the motivations and context behind its creation and conservation of historical testimony, either written, spoken or iconographic. Interpreting the past opens up different perspectives: is it possible to determine a single narrative genre able to describe the Middle Ages better than others? In what sense does a historical source (a forgery, a biography or a counter-factual description) enrich our knowledge of the historical past? Does it make sense to include in the study of history, sources that are not strictly textual or iconographic, such as a geographical map? Reflecting on these questions reveals an invented aspect of the Middle Ages, a fictional portrait that not only brings into view history’s shadow but also complements it.

description: In the drive to embrace more inclusive, equitable, and respectful approaches to research, academics are increasingly encouraged to engage with diverse and alternate knowledges, including with First Nations and Indigenous Communities. Yet for those working at the intersection of different worldviews—known as the “cultural interface”—the experience can be accompanied by feelings of discomfort. We recognise discomfort as a personal, inner emotion of vulnerability that alerts us to unspoken, difficult conversations; to challenged beliefs and assumptions; and to the limits of our own knowledge. As a group of academics working at the cultural interface, we identify common themes across our collective experiences of discomfort, including fragility and guilt, helplessness, fear, ignorance, shame, challenged conceptions of time, and finally connection and relationality. By openly discussing and confronting our experiences of discomfort, we demonstrate that immersion in discomfort is a journey that provides opportunities for learning, understanding, and fostering co‐governing partnerships with integrity.

description: A simple approach is introduced to assess the toxicity of nitroaromatic compounds in terms of an oral LD50 dose (50% lethal dose) for rats. Most of the presented Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models for prediction of in vivo toxicity of nitroaromatics are calculated by quantum computing descriptors which are more difficult to interpret and apply, while the new model requires only the molecular structure of a desirable nitroaromatic compound. The novel model is based on the constitutional descriptors, such as the number of oxygen, sulphur, phosphorous and molecular fragments. Experimental data of 90 nitroaromatics are used to derive and test the new model as the logarithm of LD50 values, i.e. –log (LD50). Although it is based on only simple structural parameters, the reliability of the new model is also higher than the complex QSAR model because the values of the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of –log (LD50) for the new and the outputs of the latest QSAR method are 0.342 and 0.377, respectively.
Dalle fonti alla pellicola: la narrazione del medioevo russo nel cinema di Ejzenštejn e Tarkovskij

Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2021

description: L’articolo intende mettere in luce i rapporti tra le fonti storiche del Medioevo russo e la resa cinematografica della narrazione medievale nelle poetiche di Ejzenštejn e Tarkovskij. Congelando le filmografie dei due autori sulle due rispettive pellicole che hanno raccontato il Medioevo russo, l’Alexandr Nevskij (1938) di Ejzenštejn e l’Andrej Rublёv (1966) di Tarkovskij, l’articolo propone un’indagine critica sulle modalità d’approccio divergenti dei due registi rispetto al materiale storiografico e l’analisi della portata storica che la narrazione del Medioevo assume in un prodotto artistico cinematografico. Partendo dal pensiero di H. White sulla necessità di affiancare la forma narrativa al contenuto del lavoro storico, l’obiettivo dell’articolo è anzitutto la messa in discussione della presunta oggettività della verità storiografica, spostando l’attenzione, in un’ottica cinematografica, sui precisi processi che portano a compimento una narrazione storica tout court in relazione al presente della narrazione e allo sguardo dello spettatore. This contribution aims to highlight the relationship between the historical sources of the Russian Middle Ages and the cinematic rendering of the medieval narrative in Ejzenštejn and Tarkovskij’poetics. Focusing on two respective films that recounted the Russian Middle Ages, the Alexandr Nevsky (1938) by Ejzenštejn and the Andrej Rublёv (1966) by Tarkovskij, the article proposes a critical investigation into the divergent approaches of the two directors with respect to historiographical material and the analysis of the historical significance that the medieval narrative assumes in a cinematographic product. Starting from the thought of the philosophy of history’s expert H. White on the need to combine the narrative form with the content of the historical work, the objective of the contribution is primarily to question the alleged objectivity of the historiographical truth. Afterwards the focus will be on the precise processes that bring to completion an historical narrative tout court in relation to the present of the narrative and the viewer’s gaze in a cinematographic perspective.

Retorica tra letteratura e storia. Agostino e il Medioevo polimorfo di Louis De Wohl
Creators: name: Salvestrini, Amalia
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2021

description: L’articolo intende approfondire la questione del Medioevo come luogo di narrazioni a partire dal romanzo di Louis De Wohl (1903-1961) dedicato ad Agostino d’Ippona, Una fiamma inestinguibile (1952) e dal tema della retorica. Il tema della retorica, come una delle dimensioni possibili in cui rappresentare la storia, dà vita sia a una peculiare narrazione descrittiva del Medioevo, plurale e variegata, sia a una narrazione creatrice della storia stessa, dal momento che la potenza della parola di Agostino viene colta nella sua capacità di incidere e trasformare la storia stessa. Il contributo si conclude con l’analisi di alcuni tratti salienti di altri romanzi di ambientazione medievale di De Wohl, su Francesco d’Assisi (1958) e su Tommaso d’Aquino (1950), per osservarne la peculiare rappresentazione di Medioevo che a tratti sembra andare oltre agli schemi storiografici degli anni in cui sono scritti. The article intends to explore the question of the Middle Ages as a place of narrations starting from Louis De Wohl’s (1903-1961) novel about Augustine of Hippo, The Restless Flame (1952) and the theme of rhetoric. The subject of rhetoric, as one of the possible dimensions in which to represent history, gives rise both to a peculiar descriptive narrative of the Middle Ages, plural and variegated, and to a narration that creates history itself, since the power of Augustine’s word is captured in its ability to affect and transform history itself. The paper concludes with an analysis of some salient features of other medieval novels by De Wohl, on Francis of Assisi (1958) and Thomas Aquinas (1950), in order to observe the peculiar representation of the Middle Ages that emerges, which at times seems to go beyond the historiographic schemes of the years in which they were written.

Letteratura nella cattedrale. Il sorriso di Becket
Creators: name: Parodi, Massimo
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2021

description: Nel Medioevo tante volte presentato dalla letteratura come un grande romanzo di avventure, un posto decisamente particolare spetta alla vicenda di Tommaso Becket, prima cancelliere di re Enrico II e poi arcivescovo di Canterbury, assassinato nella sua cattedrale nel 1170. Si tratta di una vicenda che presenta i motivi fondamentali di ogni racconto epico e tragico. Ispirandosi a questa convinzione l’articolo ripercorre alcune delle maggiori opere letterarie che hanno raccontato da diversi punti di vista lo scontro tra Becket e il suo re: alcune delle agiografie medievali, Alfred Tennyson, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer nel XIX secolo, e – nel XX – Thomas Stearns Eliot, Christopher Fry e Jean Anouilh. Del vero Tommaso Becket è assai difficile riuscire a farsi un’idea precisa, mentre sembra realizzarsi la grande metafora, proposta da Giovanni di Salisbury, suo stretto collaboratore, della vita e della storia come rappresentazione teatrale in cui hanno importanza decisiva solo i ruoli che gli uomini sono chiamati a interpretare. In the Middle Ages, so often depicted in literature as a great adventure novel, a very special place belongs to the story of Thomas Becket, firstly chancellor of King Henry II and later Bishop of Canterbury, murdered in his cathedral in 1170. This episode presents the fundamental motifs of every epic and tragic tale. Inspired by this conviction, this article examines some of the most significant literary works that have described the conflict between Becket and his king from different points of view: some of the medieval hagiographies, Alfred Tennyson, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer in the 19th century, and – in the 20th – Thomas Stearns Eliot, Christopher Fry and Jean Anouilh. It is very difficult to get a precise idea of the real Thomas Becket, while the great metaphor proposed by John of Salisbury, his close collaborator, of life and history as a theatrical representation in which only the roles that men are called to play are of decisive importance, seems to have been realized.

description: Il genere della medieval crime fiction ha preso il volo (dal punto di vista della quantità e della qualità delle creazioni) dall’inizio degli anni ’80 del secolo scorso, grazie ai romanzi di Ellis Peters (A Morbid Taste for Bones, 1977) e soprattutto di Umberto Eco (Il nome della rosa, 1980). Da allora a oggi oltre 150 tra autrici e autori hanno proposto storie di indagine criminale ambientate nel Medioevo. In questo articolo saranno esaminati alcuni casi interessanti che stanno a cavallo tra romanzo storico medievale e medieval crime fiction, in cui le autrici o gli autori hanno fatto ricorso a personaggi (storici o d’invenzione) impegnati a vario titolo nella riflessione filosofica, teologica o medica medievale. Oggetto di analisi saranno in particolare sia le descrizioni del loro aspetto fisico che i rispettivi ruoli attanziali e narrativi. The genre of medieval crime fiction took off (from the point of view of both quantity and quality of the books) from the beginning of the 1980s, thanks to the novels of Ellis Peters (A Morbid Taste for Bones, 1977) and especially by Umberto Eco (The name of the rose, 1980). Since then, more than 150 authors have proposed criminal investigation stories set in the Middle Ages. In this article we will examine some interesting cases that straddle medieval historical novel and medieval crime fiction, in which the authors have resorted to characters (historical or purely fictional) engaged in various capacities in philosophy, theology or medicine. In particular, both the descriptions of their physical aspect and their actantial and narrative roles will be analyzed.

description: We adopt the concept of the correlation matrix to study correlations among sequences of time-extended events occuring repeatedly at consecutive time-intervals. As an application we analyse the magnetoencephalography recordings obtained from human auditory cortex in epoch mode during delivery of sound stimuli to the left or right ear. We look into statistical properties and the eigenvalue spectrum of the correlation matrix C calculated for signals corresponding to different trials and originating from the same or opposite hemispheres. The spectrum of C largely agrees with the universal properties of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of random matrices, with deviations characterised by eigenvectors with high eigenvalues. The properties of these eigenvectors and eigenvalues provide an elegant and powerful way of quantifying the degree of the underlying collectivity during well defined latency intervals with respect to stimulus onset. We also extend this analysis to study the time-lagged interhemispheric correlations, as a computationally less demanding alternative to other methods such as mutual information.

description: The control of the stoichiometry of Li$_{1+x}$Zn$_{2-y}$Mo$_3$O$_8$ was achieved by the solid-state-reaction. We found that the best sample that has the chemical composition Li$_{0.95(4)}$Zn$_{1.92(8)}$Mo$_3$O$_8$ was obtained from the starting nominal composition with Li : Zn : Mo : O = $(1+w)$ : $(2.8-w)$ : $3$ : $8.6$ with $w = -0.1$, indicating that the stoichiometry is greatly improved compared to those in the earlier reports. For larger $w$ detailed structural analysis indicates that the mixed sites of Li and Zn are preferentially occupied by Li atoms, as well as the fraction of the non-magnetic secondary phase Zn$_2$Mo$_3$O$_8$ decreases. Magnetic susceptibility of the improved stoichiometry powder samples shows a broad hump in the temperature range of 100 $< T

description: We study a general field theory of a scalar field coupled to gravity through a quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term $ξ(ϕ) R^2_{GB}$. The coupling function has the form $ξ(ϕ)=ϕ^n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. In the absence of the Gauss-Bonnet term, the cosmological solutions for an empty universe and a universe dominated by the energy-momentum tensor of a scalar field are always characterized by the occurrence of a true cosmological singularity. By employing analytical and numerical methods, we show that, in the presence of the quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term, for the dual case of even $n$, the set of solutions of the classical equations of motion in a curved FRW background includes singularity-free cosmological solutions. The singular solutions are shown to be confined in a part of the phase space of the theory allowing the non-singular solutions to fill the rest of the space. We conjecture that the same theory with a general coupling function that satisfies certain criteria may lead to non-singular cosmological solutions.

Tra romanzo e rivoluzione. Il millenarismo medievale sotto la penna di Umberto Eco
Creators: name: Rossi, Roberto
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2021

description: A partire dalla produzione saggistica e letteraria di Umberto Eco, l’articolo analizzerà l’immaginario del Medioevo inteso come culla di ogni genere di millenarismo. La trattazione prenderà avvio dal suo saggio Palinsesto su Beato (1963); tenendo conto dell’originalità della prospettiva strutturalista di Eco, si confronterà l’ultima riedizione di questo scritto con un quadro bibliografico sul ruolo dell’Apocalisse di San Giovanni in seno alla tradizione occidentale. Il primo riferimento sarà la tesi genealogica di Karl Löwith, il quale nel suo Significato e fine della storia (1949) affermò che le moderne filosofie della storia rispondono alla stessa ispirazione millenarista della cultura cristiana. Il secondo confronto sarà con uno dei ritratti dell’eresiarca Fra Dolcino; nella fattispecie, sarà considerata la prospettiva del filosofo socialista Antonio Labriola, elaborata a fine Ottocento per distinguere le applicazioni scientifiche del materialismo storico dai suoi fraintendimenti escatologici. Questi due opposti interlocutori condurranno a problematizzare l’interpretazione del millenarismo per come rappresentato da Umberto Eco ne Il nome della rosa (1980). Il romanzo intende infatti l’apocalittica dolciniana come la prefigurazione del terrorismo degli Anni di Piombo? O si tratta di una mera strizzata d’occhio, un gioco con il lettore, il quale è chiamato a non confidare troppo nella potenza simbolica delle analogie? Considering Umberto Eco’s articles and novels, the paper will examine the imaginary of the Middle Age as the cradle of every kind of millenarianism. The analysis will start from Eco’s essay Palinsesto su Beato (1963). Looking at the originality of his structuralist view, I will compare the last editing of this text with a bibliographical framework about the role of the Apocalypse of St. John in the Western tradition. The first reference will be the genealogical thesis of Karl Löwith, who in Meaning in History (1949) affirmed that the modern philosophies of history have the same eschatological aim of the Christian culture. The second comparison will be with a portrait of the medieval heresiarch Fra Dolcino. In this case, I will consider the perspective of the socialist philosopher Antonio Labriola, who elaborated it at the end of the XIX Century to distinguish the scientific applications of historical materialism from his eschatological misinterpretations. These two opposite references will drive me to problematize the representation of millenarianism as it was depicted by Umberto Eco in his The Name of the Rose (1980). Indeed, is Dulcinian millenarianism intended by the novel as a prefiguration of the political terrorism in Italy during the Years of Lead? Or is this only a wink, a joking interaction with the reader, who should be careful to rely not on the symbolic strength of analogies?

Anthony Kenny narratore della filosofia medievale
Creators: name: Damonte, Marco
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2021

description: In un’epoca, come quella attuale, votata allo specialismo, pochi autori sono disposti a scrivere una storia della filosofia che ambisca a coprire un intero periodo, quale quello medievale e, ancor meno, quelli che si cimentino a stilare una storia globale della filosofia. La settorialità ha molti pregi, ma almeno un difetto, cioè di evitare una narrazione unitaria che, seppur necessariamente parziale e non completa, sia capace di offrire una visione di insieme mettendo in scena i filosofi principali, aggregati in correnti, e i fondamentali indirizzi del pensiero speculativo. Il rischio di formulare una narrazione unitaria della filosofia, in qualità di unico autore, lo ha affrontato Anthony Kenny, dando alle stampe quattro volumi di una Nuova storia della filosofia occidentale. Il secondo di tali volumi è dedicato alla filosofia medievale e il presente contributo intende contestualizzarne la genesi, per poi esplicitare i criteri utilizzati da Kenny in quello che lui stesso definisce racconto e vagliare criticamente i risultati raggiunti. In an era, like the present one, devoted to specialism, few authors are willing to write a history of philosophy that aspires to cover an entire period, such as the medieval one and, even less, those who attempt to draw up a global history of philosophy. The sectoriality has many advantages, but at least one defect, that is to avoid a unitary narrative which, although necessarily partial and not complete, is capable of offering an overview by staging the main philosophers, aggregated into currents, and the fundamental directions of speculative thought. The risk of formulating a unitary narrative of philosophy, as the sole author, was faced by Anthony Kenny, publishing four volumes of a New History of Western Philosophy. The second of these volumes is dedicated to medieval philosophy and the present contribution intends to contextualize its genesis, paying special attention to the two sources Kenny refers to (Russell's and Copleston's histories of philosophy) to then clarify the criteria used by Kenny in what he himself defines as a narration and to critically examine the results achieved.

Year: 2021

description: Il tema sviluppato nel presente intervento è il rapporto tra narrazione e (ri)costruzione storica. Si prenderà in esame l’accezione di narrativa correntemente utilizzata nel mondo storiografico facendola dialogare con il paradigma dei global middle ages, espressione coniata nel 2018 dalle storiche Catherine Holmes e Naomi Standen. Per meglio mettere in risalto tali dinamiche un caso di studio sarà offerto dalla vicenda di Federico II, con particolare enfasi alla costruzione biografica e dei miti nel rapporto con le culture altre. Il fine sarà di superare le due tradizionali macro interpretazioni dell’idea di Medioevo, analizzate da Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri e David Matthews: Medioevo arretrato regno di oscurità e Medioevo vagheggiato come luce del mattino, all’origine di molte identità politiche contemporanee – non ultima quella dell’Unione Europea. The topic we intend to develop in this essay is the relationship between narration and historical (re)construction. We will examine the meaning behind the current concept of narrative in historiography, with a dialectical approach towards the paradigm of global Middle Ages, an expression firstly used by historians Catherine Holmes and Naomi Standen in 2018. To perform an in depth analysis of the abovementioned relationship, we will use as a case study the figure of Frederick II. A significant emphasis will be put on the biographical construction and myths, especially in the relationship with other cultures. The aim of our essay is to provide a framework within it would be easier to overcome the two traditional macro interpretations of Middle Ages, studied by Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri and David Matthews: Middle Ages as a backward reign of darkness and Middle Ages as the morning light, at the origin of many contemporary political identities – not least that of the European Union.

The equilibrium configuration of the binary system is given by a small deformation from the irrotational Darwin-Riemann ellipsoid which is the solution at Newtonian order. It is found that the orbital separation at the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) decreases when one increases the compactness parameter $M_{\ast}/c^2 a_{\ast}$, in which $M_{\ast}$ and $a_{\ast}$ denote the mass and the radius of a star, respectively. If we compare the 1PN angular velocity of the binary system at the ISCO in units of $\sqrt{M_{\ast}/a_{\ast}^3}$ with that of Newtonian order, the angular velocity at the ISCO is almost the same value as that at Newtonian order when one increases the compactness parameter. Also, we do not find the instability point driven by the deformation at 1PN order, where a new sequence bifurcates throughout the equilibrium sequence of the binary system until the ISCO. We also investigate the validity of an ellipsoidal approximation, in which a 1PN solution is obtained assuming an ellipsoidal figure and neglecting the deformation. It is found that the ellipsoidal approximation gives a fairly accurate result for the total energy, total angular momentum and angular velocity. However, if we neglect the velocity potential of 1PN order, we tend to overestimate the angular velocity at the ISCO regardless of the shape of the star (ellipsoidal figure or deformed figure).

Nudità e pazzia: la "rottura" francescana fra agiografia e narrazione

description: L’articolo esamina l’episodio della spogliazione di Francesco d’Assisi intersecando la lettura delle prime narrazioni della vita del santo e dei romanzi contemporanei che hanno raccontato la sua vicenda. L’atto di rinuncia ai beni paterni e la rottura che esso determina lungo il corso della vita di Francesco vengono posti in relazione al tema della follia, che costituisce un cambio del paradigma con cui guardare il mondo e la sua logica. La scelta di Francesco di rinunciare al potere e alla proprietà proprie del mondo, oppone ad esse una nuova logica che si traduce non nella rinuncia al mondo, ma nella capacità di trascenderlo rimanendo al suo interno. The article examines the episode of the dispossession of Francis of Assisi by intersecting the reading of the first narrations of the life of the saint and contemporary novels that have told his story. The act of renouncing his father's goods and the rupture that it determines along the course of Francis' life are placed in relation to the theme of folly, which constitutes a change of paradigm with which to look at the world and its logic. The choice of Francis to renounce the power and the property of the world, opposes to them a new logic that is translated not in the renunciation of the world, but in the capacity to transcend it by remaining within it.

description: The ability to perform classically intractable electronic structure calculations is often cited as one of the principal applications of quantum computing. A great deal of theoretical algorithmic development has been performed in support of this goal. Most techniques require a scheme for mapping electronic states and operations to states of and operations upon qubits. The two most commonly used techniques for this are the Jordan-Wigner transformation and the Bravyi-Kitaev transformation. However, comparisons of these schemes have previously been limited to individual small molecules. In this paper we discuss resource implications for the use of the Bravyi-Kitaev mapping scheme, specifically with regard to the number of quantum gates required for simulation. We consider both small systems which may be simulatable on near-future quantum devices, and systems sufficiently large for classical simulation to be intractable. We use 86 molecular systems to demonstrate that the use of the Bravyi-Kitaev transformation is typically at least approximately as efficient as the canonical Jordan-Wigner transformation, and results in substantially reduced gate count estimates when performing limited circuit optimisations.

description: A spinor current-source is found in the Weyl non-Abelian gauge theory which does not contain the abstract gauge space. It is shown that the searched spinor representation can be constructed in the space of external differential forms and it is a 16-component quantity for which a gauge-invariant Lagrangian is determined. The connexion between the Weyl non-Abelian gauge potential and the Cartan torsion field and the problem of a possible manifestation of the considered interactions are considered.

Il santo che non ti aspetti. Sorprese ed eccentricità dell’agiografia medievale
Creators: name: Guglielmetti, Rossana
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2021

description: L’agiografia fa parte dei generi letterari nei quali si esprimono con più libertà concezioni teologiche e morali non convenzionali, che ci svelano un Medioevo meno uniforme di come lo si immagina. L’articolo presenta alcuni esempi tratti da testi originari di diverse aree, dal Mediterraneo greco all’Irlanda, dall’epoca tardoantica al basso Medioevo. Di santi come il bretone Macuto, Epifanio di Salamina, i martiri edesseni e svariati abati irlandesi si narrano azioni mosse da permalosità, vendicatività, gelosia, competizione. Ancora nelle storie di santi irlandesi, tra cui Brigida, compare il miracolo dell’eliminazione di un feto indesiderato dal grembo della madre. Il bolognese Procolo è celebrato per aver assassinato a sangue freddo il suo persecutore. La greca Irene è assunta fisicamente in cielo. Nella Navigatio Brendani, infine, la figura di Giuda è oggetto di una pietà del tutto eccezionale. Tutte queste anomalie generano alcune reazioni di censura e mitigazione nella ricezione e trasmissione dei testi, ma fondamentalmente sono accettate e conservate, testimoniando l’apertura e varietà dottrinale ancora possibile in epoca medievale. Hagiography is one of the literary genres in which unconventional theological and moral conceptions are most freely expressed, revealing a less uniform Middle Ages than we imagine. The article presents some examples from texts originating in different areas, from the Greek Mediterranean to Ireland, from late antiquity to the late Middle Ages. Saints such as the Breton Macutus, Epiphanius of Salamis, the Edessenian martyrs and several Irish abbots are described as acting out of touchiness, vindictiveness, jealousy and competition. In the stories of other Irish saints, including Bridget, we read the miracle of the elimination of an unwanted foetus from his mother’s womb. The Bolognese Proculus is celebrated for having cold-bloodedly murdered his persecutor. The Greek Irene is physically assumed into heaven. Finally, in the Navigatio Brendani, the figure of Judas is granted a quite exceptional piety. All these anomalies arouse some reactions of censorship and mitigation in the reception and transmission of these texts, but fundamentally they are accepted and preserved, testifying to the doctrinal openness and variety still possible in medieval times.
