Finite subset spaces of the circle
Creators: name: Rose, Simon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis we investigate a new and highly geometric approach to studying finite subset spaces of the circle. By considering the circle as the boundary of the hyperbolic plane, we are able to use the full force of hyperbolic geometry—in particular, its well-understood group of isometries—to determine explicitely the structure of the first few configuration spaces of the circle S¹. Once these are understood we then move onto studying their union—that is, exp₃(S¹,)—and in particular, we re-prove both an old theorem of Bott and a newer (unpublished) result of E . Щепин (E. Shchepin) about this space.
Overview of critical food safety problems found in small and medium enterprises of the agro-processing and food service sectors in the Caribbean and possible strategies for finding solutions

description: Contaminated foods kill millions of people around the world each year. Here in the Caribbean, the exact number of persons who die annually from foodborne illnesses is unknown. SMEs in agro-processing and food service make up a large percentage of the players in the food sector of the region, and their practices are at times questionable. For these establishments, the critical food safety problems that stymie the food safety effort, include poor personal hygiene, inadequate cleaning and sanitizing practices, inefficient pest control, improper use of preservatives, unsatisfactory time/temperature relationships, inadequate training and inadequate infrastructure. Possible strategies to assist in solving these problems would involve updating and strengthening of current legislation, improved surveillance and monitoring, training of staff within the SMEs in issues relating to food safety management and production methods and outreach programmes on food safety that target the general public and school children. Integral to all of this is the sharing of ideas and information and the pooling of data from all of the countries of the region in an effort to accelerate the thrust toward the production of safe food.
title: La spiegazione delle disuguaglianze attraverso modelli generativi. Un contributo alla comprensione della mobilità sociale nella prospettiva della sociologia analitica

Year: 2020

description: Questo lavoro affronta il tema del contributo e delle potenzialità che i sistemi multi-agente, come strumento di simulazione dei processi sociali, possono offrire alla ricerca sociologica nel campo della mobilità sociale. Dopo una ricognizione degli studi in materia, vengono presentati e argomentati i presupposti di una analisi del fenomeno in base all’ipotesi che esso costituisca un effetto dimensionale di tipo macro, generato dalla composizione dinamica di scelte di azione compiute da attori sociali individuali che si muovono in un ambito di reciproca interdipendenza in base a una varietà di condizioni e vincoli delle loro scelte. Tale sezione approda alla modellizzazione dell’ipotetico percorso individuale di ricerca occupazionale attraverso versioni a complessità causale crescente del modello stesso, ottenute simulandone gli esiti dovuti all’effetto compositivo del grado di istruzione, dell’origine sociale, del livello di aspirazione, delle opportunità, lungo l’asse relazionale dei soggetti agenti.

Banking in Switzerland
Creators: name: SAYERS, R.S.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Swiss banking, Switzerland, operational problems, institutional features, competition, Central Bank, policy, credit control
subject: E52, E58, G21

description: The first part of the article calls attention to the operational problems and institutional features of Swiss banking, which are of special “practical” importance for the banking world. Among these are the relations between the several categories of credit institutions and especially between the big commercial banks and the cantonal banks; the widespread system of postal chèques that limits the scope of commercial banks; the elaborate distinction drawn between the several kinds of savings accounts; the special attention devoted by all classes of banks to “little credit”; the strictly orthodox policies followed by the commercial banks in their lending operations after the bitter experience of 1930; the wide range of “ancillary functions” they offer their clients; the role of banks in capital issues; the structure of interest rates. Here, the author draws special attention in the analysis to the role of competition. In the second part of the article the banking law of 1934 and the position of the Central Bank are examined. Here, the author deals with matters more strictly connected with banking policy and credit control. JEL: E52, E58, G21

The annual report of the Bank of Italy for 1953

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Bank of Italy, annual report, credit control, fiscal policy, monetary authorities, flexible interest rate policy
subject: E43, E52, E58, E62

description: The first part of the article summarises some of the views concerning current Italian problems expressed by the Governor of the Bank of Italy, Dr. Menichella, in his Annual Address to Shareholders. The author gives particular attention to Menichella’s views on the technique of credit control by the Bank of Italy, commenting on the stress which the Governor placed on rigid and fortuitous elements that have influenced the total volume of accommodation granted by the Bank of Italy in recent years, his conclusion that the instruments of control available to the Central Bank are imperfect and his observations on the smallness of the area of manoeuvrability in fiscal policy. The author raises the question whether in the case that the combination of rigid and fortuitous factors should be less favourable in the future than it has been in the past, the monetary authorities might not still be able to tighten their control through a flexible interest rate policy of the kind that has been adopted in many other countries since 1951. The second part of the article gives a summary of the year’s developments, mostly in the financial sphere. It includes a brief description of the new cartel agreement between the commercial banks, and the system of interest rates which has been officially established thereunder. JEL: E43, E52, E58, E62

title: Reading between the lines, 1839-1939 : popular narratives of the Afghan frontier
Creators: name: Malhotra, Shane Gail
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: In 'Reading Between the Lines', I investigate the literary representations that, building on the influential writings of Mountstuart Elphinstone and WaIter Scott, created an 'Afghanistan of the mind' over a century of British engagement. Using the quantitative methodologies of book history, my thesis sheds light on the public responses to three successive Anglo-Afghan wars, and the reception of the writings to which these gave rise. By this means, I trace the rise and fall of readers' interest in Afghanistan through six studies of individual authors. The first chapter examines the media storm around the writings of Florentia Sale, eyewitness to the disasters of the First Anglo-Afghan War, whose bestselling Journal was published by John Munay. Chapter two considers John William Kaye, and his journalistic and fictional reshaping of the war, culminating in his authoritative History. The third chapter considers George Alfred Henty's use of Afghanistan and the Second Anglo-Afghan War in his historically-based adventure stories for boys, which is contrasted with the more subtle imaginative representations in Rudyard Kipling's 'The Man Who Would Be King' and Kim, explored in chapter four. Investigating literary responses in the 1920s and 30s, I study two relatively unknown authors, to demonstrate the pervasive urge for eyewitnesses to the Third Anglo-Afghan War and its aftermath to tell their story. In chapters five and six, Martin Louis Alan Gompel1z (pseud. Ganpat) and Alice Pennell (nee Sorabji), are scrutinized through a detailed biographical, bibliographical and textual study, using material from Blackwood's and John MU11'ay archives, giving the most complete account of their writings to date. Using these six authors, and the success or failure of their writings, I critically examine the various influences of the press, publishers, and book trade on the rise and fall of public appetites for narratives of Afghanistan.
Development problems in Southern Italy: the second conference of the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Southern Italy, development, investment, income, policy, Mezzogiorno
subject: O11, O14, O20

description: The article comments on some of the points raised at the Second Conference of the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno, and at the related meeting organised by the SVIMEX, both held in Naples in November, 1953. Besides reporting on some of the dimensions of the problem of raising the level of investment and income in the South as they were described in the paper presented for discussion at the Conference by Professor P. Saraceno, it takes up some controversial interpretations of the application of multiplier analysis to this problem. It points to a consequent difference of views, which found expressions at the Conference, concerning the distribution of “sacrifices” and “benefits” of the investment programme, and to the importance of this difference in connection with the establishment of policy norms.

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, poverty, parliament, report
subject: I30, I32

description: On the 12th of October, 1951, the Italian Parliament approved a motion for an enquiry into poverty. The task was assigned to a Parliamentary Commission where the several groups were represented proportionately to their numbers, under the chairmanship of Eio Vigorelli, now Minister of Labour in the Italian Government. The Commission delivered their general report in June, 1953, accompanied by a voluminous collection of documentary evidence: 14 volumes of statistical returns, technical enquiries, monographs on special subjects etc. In this brief article, the author sums up some of the more important conclusions reached both on the statistical field (attempts at a quantitative appraisement of economic and social depression in Italy), and on the principals that should be followed to remedy the serious deficiencies of the present legislation.

Recent forecasts of the future growth of population in Italy
Creators: name: FEDERICI, N.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italian population growth, forecasts, growth rates, demographics
subject: J11

description: The recent forecasts by both international and Italian students of future Italian population growth are critically described and commented on in the first part of the present article. In the second part, the author compares the probable future trend of the population in Italy, considered as a whole, with that of other European countries. She points out that, according to the most esteemed forecasts, the differences still existing between their respective rates of growth will further decline, and it may be presumed that the several countries will become stationary at about the same time. But, as noted, different conclusions are reached for South Italy, whose demographic vitality leads one to expect a marked growth and, consequently, a favourable composition as regards age groups for many decades to come.

title: Getting ready to act. Neurocognitive aspects of action preparation
Creators: name: Perri, Rinaldo Livio
Publisher: name: Sapienza Università Editrice
Year: 2020

description: The topic of proactivity of brain functions has become of growing interest in the cognitive neuroscience. Brain activity is no longer described solely in a reactive way, but also as preparatory and predictive of future events. This volume focuses especially on the neurocognitive activities associated with anticipatory processes of perceptual decision-making. What does the brain do to prevent mistakes? Is it possible to prevent speed and accuracy of a decision even before it is made? Why do some people perform better or worse than others? The volume answers these and other questions through the description of some original research. In particular, electroencephalographic investigations are illustrated which allowed to define a first version of the model known as “preparation-perception-action cycle”. Present findings reveal theoretical and practical implications which constitute a useful reference for researchers and scholars interested in discovering the aware and unaware ways in which our brain anticipates the future.

Sulla scia della più recente tendenza del legislatore nazionale, volta a privilegiare forme privatistiche e stragiudiziali di composizione della crisi di impresa alternative al fallimento, il trust, con la sua attitudine a segregare e contemporaneamente imprimere un vincolo “reale” di destinazione al patrimonio a esso imputato, si è progressivamente diffuso quale meccanismo di protezione di assets appartenenti a soggetti insolventi o quale strumento di supporto delle operazioni di liquidazione - volontaria o concorsuale - dell’azienda, pur in assenza di una disciplina compiuta dell’istituto.

title: Seismic Performance of Masonry Cross Vaults. Learning from historical developments and experimental testing
Creators: name: GAETANI, ANGELO
Publisher: name: Sapienza Università Editrice
Year: 2020

description: Considering the seismic behaviour of cultural heritage buildings, recent earthquakes have emphasised the high vulnerability of vaulted structures. In this regard, the present thesis deals with masonry cross vaults, among the most diffused and fascinating structural typologies of the European cultural heritage. After a thorough review of cross vault historical developments, the focus is shifted to the shaking table tests of a scaled arch. These two points provided valuable information to calibrate the finite element model of cross vault, discussed next. Finally, the influence of the main geometrical and mechanical parameters on the seismic capacity of cross vaults are examined by means of a sensitivity analysis.

description: With the advent of hybrid quantum classical algorithms using parameterized quantum circuits the question of how to optimize these algorithms and circuits emerges. In this paper we show that the number of single-qubit rotations in parameterized quantum circuits can be decreased without compromising the relative expressibility or entangling capability of the circuit. We also show that the performance of a variational quantum eigensolver is unaffected by a similar decrease in single-qubit rotations. We compare relative expressibility and entangling capability across different number of qubits in parameterized quantum circuits. High-dimensional qudits as a platform for hybrid quantum classical algorithms is a rarity in the literature. Therefore we consider quantum frequency comb photonics as a platform for such algorithms and show that we can obtain an relative expressibility and entangling capability comparable to the best regular parameterized quantum circuits.

These functional components include dietary fiber such as beta glucan, fatty acids such as omega-3 fatty acids, flavonoids, plant sterols, phytoestrogens, probiotics and prebiotics. According to recent marketing analyses, the functional food industry in the United States could double with estimate sales over $37.7 billion by 2007. This trend can be attributed to the growing consumer's interest in maintaining their health, their aim for the improvement of their children nutrition, and their increased awareness regarding the connection between health and diet. An impressive list of functional foods has been recently launched into the market. In 2005 alone, sixty-nine value-added new products, targeted specifically to the children's market, containing healthy omega-3 fatty acids, were introduced. We recognize the need to conduct research in the important area of functional foods. Therefore, our research group is focused on developing functional foods specifically containing probiotics. Probiotics, including bacteria from the genus Bifidobacterium, are lactic acid viable and metabolically active microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host including improvement of gastrointestinal health and the immune system. In particular, we are interested in developing an acid whey beverage fermented with lactic acid bacteria and yeast cultures containing probiotics as adjunct cultures added post-fermentation. Current research includes the isolation of lactic acid bacteria from commercial sources such as yogurt and probiotic capsules and the characterization of the isolates as Bifidobacterium for the incorporation into the acid whey fermented beverage as an adjunct culture.

description: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death in Korea, and studies have reported that asthma can have a negative impact on CVD. This study aimed to identify the association between asthma and CVD, including the current status, treatment status, and duration of asthma in Korean adults. The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016–2021) was used, and 34,384 adults aged 19 years or older were included. Exposures were asthma-related characteristics, and outcomes were hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and stroke. The association between asthma characteristics and CVD was analyzed using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis. The asthma diagnosis experience rate of the population was 3.1%; 1.6% were currently suffering from asthma, 1.0% were receiving asthma treatment, 0.6% were receiving regular medication, and 1.5% had a disease duration of 11 years or more. The CVD diagnosis rates in the population were 20.2% for hypertension, 2.3% for ischemic heart disease, and 1.8% for stroke. Compared to those who had no asthma diagnosis, those who had been diagnosed with asthma (OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.47–2.87), received asthma treatment (OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.22–3.04), and had a long duration of asthma (OR = 3.54, 95% CI = 1.71–7.33) had a significantly higher risk of ischemic heart disease. However, hypertension and stroke were not significantly correlated with asthma-related characteristics. Asthma diagnosis and asthma-related characteristics were associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease. Our study suggests that research on risk assessment and management of CVD in patients with asthma would be needed.

description: The discovery of the archives of Francesco di Marco Datini of Prato - a 14th century Merchant and Banker of international standing - dates back to 1870. The archives, perhaps the largest and most complete collection of mercantile documents of the Middle Ages, gave rise to research work that culminated in 1928 with an important work by Enrico Bensa, which afforded a general view of the Merchant of Prato himself and of the multifarious activities of his Companies. Today, two initiatives are being carried out for utilising the Datini Archives and making them more widely known. First is the publication of the documents edited along modern lines, in a collection of 30 volumes that will facilitate their consultation and use. Second is a special exhibition of the Archives now being arranged at Prato, which will call the attention of the public to the importance and interest of this cultural patrimony. The present article gives account of both of these undertakings, framed in a brief comprehensive account of Datini himself, showing the significance of his papers and of the studies devoted to them.

description: Aims : To find the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in an in vitro assay of the antioxidants ascorbic acid, naringenin and quercetin against the foodborne pathogens Escherichia coli serotype 0157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus and the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results: Inhibition zones were recorded using a broad range of concentrations from 10,000 to 1 micrograms/ml on Escherichia coli serotype 0157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The MIC for the antioxidants ascorbic acid and naringenin were 1 micrograms/ml for P. aeruginosa and E. coli serotype 0157:H7, respectively. The MIC for quercetin was 1 micrograms/ml on E. coli serotype 0157:H7 while high concentrations of the antioxidant were required to inhibit S. aureus (MIC of 5,000 micrograms/ml) and P. aeruginosa (MIC of 7,500 micrograms/ml). Conclusions: Low concentrations (1 microgram/ml) of the antioxidants ascorbic acid and naringenin were effective on some of the evaluated bacteria (P. aeruginosa and E. coli serotype 0157:H7, respectively) and therefore could be incorporated into foods. The antioxidant quercetin was effective against the pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli serotype 0157:H7 at low concentration (1 microgram/ml) while inhibition against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa required concentrations that if used as food additives would have a negative effect on the organoleptic properties of the foods. The assessment of the effective antioxidant concentration to eliminate these bacteria can be useful in developing value-added and safe food products.

description: Trinidad has been producing fresh-cut fruit and vegetable products since the mid1990's and the quantity and range of products have been expanding. Staff of the Postharvest Unit of the Research Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Marine Resources conducted a survey of retailing of the fresh-cut products in Trinidad. The results were reported to stakeholders at a seminar / workshop in January 2006. The quantity and quality of domestically produced crops, papaya (Carica papaya L.), watermelon (Citrutlus lanatus), pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr), dasheen leaves (Colocasia esculenta), pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima), carilla (Momordica charantia) and okra (Hibiscus esculentus L.) used in fresh-cut products were not consistent and this has implications for the sustainability and profitability of the fledging industry. Both survey and workshop discussions revealed that, although the products had strong visual appeal, stringent and consistent quality standards were lacking. Future prospects were examined and recommendations made for improvements in the sector. Recommendations were made for developments in the quantity, quality, safety and marketing of fresh-cut products. International food safety standards needed to be applied to ensure a consistently safe product to the consumer. Key areas for research, development and education were identified at the workshops and these are presented as short, medium and long-term strategies for the development of a vibrant fresh-cut industry in Trinidad.

description: Soziale Mobilität wird aktuell vermehrt diskutiert, sowohl im Rahmen wissenschaftlicher Studien als auch auf digitalen Plattformen wie Instagram. Hier sind neue, un(ter)bezahlte Arbeitsorte entstanden, die stark flexibilisiert und prekarisiert sind. Zudem teilen sie eine zentrale Eigenschaft mit anderen feminisierten Tätigkeiten wie jene der Care-Arbeit: Sie ist weitgehend unsichtbar, wobei die Subjekte selbst hypervisibel sind. Der Beitrag untersucht anhand von cyberethnografischem Material Aushandlungsprozesse sozialer Mobilität von Instragram-Influencer*innen, die kritische Bildungsarbeit im Bereich der sozialen Gerechtigkeit leisten. Dabei wurde von der Annahme ausgegangen, dass soziale Mobilität ein wiederkehrendes Thema in Beiträgen dieser Influencer*innen ist, da der soziale Status dieser Arbeit uneindeutig ist. Die explorative Analyse zeigt insbesondere die Bedeutung horizontaler Mobilität für Influencer*innen, wodurch gängige meritokratische Diskurse über eine vertikale Mobilität neu betrachtet werden können.

Soot measurements using Laser Induced Incandescence for ethene combustion under engine-relevant conditions
Creators: name: Yeung, Michael Kam Ho
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: With growing concerns over the detrimental effects of soot emission, it has become important to study possible emission reduction strategies and explore new measurement techniques to advance soot diagnostic capabilities. In this study, the potential of using nitrogen as a fuel diluent to reduce soot is measured in a series of combustion experiments under engine-relevant conditions using Laser Induced Incandescence (LU). In the first part of this research, a calibration was conducted to allow conversion of LIT signals into soot mass concentration values. This calibration was performed by measuring samples of different, but known, soot concentration with LII under different configurations. Secondly, a test plan was designed for this study using a statistical design-of-experiment technique, response surface methodology (RSM). The concept of R SM is to conduct a small number of experiments strategically and use the results to create an empirical model. Using this approach, a test matrix of 135 experiments was developed. Finally, combustion experiments were carried out in a shock tube. In these experiments, soot concentration within a combusting ethene jet was measured with LII. The LII results were then processed and used as inputs for building the empirical models, from which the following trends were observed: • . Addition of nitrogen was observed to lower the levels of soot within the fuel jet. • Increases in pre-combustion temperature reduced the level of soot detected. • Changes in fuel injection pressure and pre-combustion pressure were observed to cause competing effects on the level of soot detected. This might be caused by underlying changes in air fuel ratio associated with changes in the two pressures. The results of this work indicate fuel dilution with nitrogen can be a potential soot reduction strategy for non-premixed gaseous-fuelled combustion systems. This study also shows that the ability to instantaneously generate a map of soot distribution within a combusting fuel jet makes LII more powerful than traditional soot diagnostic techniques.
