description: Rainfall in the tropics is largely focused in a narrow zonal band near the Equator, known as the intertropical convergence zone. On average, substantially more rain falls just north of the Equator. This hemispheric asymmetry in tropical rainfall has been attributed to hemispheric asymmetries in ocean temperature induced by tropical landmasses. However, the ocean meridional overturning circulation also redistributes energy, by carrying heat northwards across the Equator. Here, we use satellite observations of the Earth’s energy budget, atmospheric reanalyses and global climate model simulations to study tropical rainfall using a global energetic framework. We show that the meridional overturning circulation contributes significantly to the hemispheric asymmetry in tropical rainfall by transporting heat from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere, and thereby pushing the tropical rain band north. This northward shift in tropical precipitation is seen in global climate model simulations when ocean heat transport is included, regardless of whether continents are present or not. If the strength of the meridional overturning circulation is reduced in the future as a result of global warming, as has been suggested, precipitation patterns in the tropics could change, with potential societal consequences.

description: The bulk single crystals of of low-dimensional magnet (CH$_3$)$_2$NH$_2$CuCl$_3$ (DMACuCl$_3$ or MCCL) are grown by a slow evaporation method with different kinds of solvents, different degrees of super-saturation of solution and different temperatures of solution, respectively. Among three kinds of solvent, methanol, alcohol and water, alcohol is found to be the best one for growing MCCL crystals because of its structural similarity to the raw materials and suitable evaporation rate. The best growth temperature is in the vicinity of 35 $^{\circ}$C. The problem of the crystals deliquescing in air has been solved through recrystallization process. The crystals are characterized by means of x-ray diffraction, specific heat and magnetic susceptibility.

description: The aim of this study is to provide insights concerning the effects of the ubiquitous digital environment on the way people think and the subsequent need to equip young individuals with the necessary skills. Several studies focus on defining the so-called digital skills, also providing indications that higher cognitive skills are required. However, they do not examine how young individuals could perform better to adapt to the continuously evolving digital environment. To address this gap, the study introduces and analyses the construct of digital intelligence, representing the new way of thinking and behaviour in the digital environment. For the purposes of the study, a set of tests was given to students at Greek high schools, targeting 15–16 years old students and employing original tests to assess digital intelligence. According to the findings, digital intelligence is composed of: (1) logical reasoning, algorithms, and evaluation, (2) abstraction, decomposition, and patterns and generalisation, (3) digital emotional intelligence and communication, (4) digital safety and security, and (5) digital identity, use, literacy, and rights. Assessing digital intelligence, as proposed in this study, could be used to assist vocational guidance, employee selection and evaluation, and development of revised school curricula.
Dust Dynamics and Implications for Planetesimal Formation in Turbulent Protoplanetary Disks
Creators: name: Xu, Ziyan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Planetesimal formation from dust grains has long been one of the least understood processes in planet formation. Recent observations of ring-like substructures in protoplanetary disks indicate dust concentration in axisymmetric gas pressure bumps, but it is unclear whether such dust rings can be precursors to planetesimal formation. In laminar environments, planetesimal formation is widely believed to be the outcome of dust clumping by the streaming instability, triggered by the dust feedback to the gas drag force in a background pressure gradient. However, forming planetesimals generally requires super-solar solid abundances, as expected in dust rings, and the streaming instability is unlikely to operate in pressure bumps. In addition, the bulk disk is believed to be weakly turbulent. We conduct 3D non-ideal MHD simulations with Athena code to study dust dynamics in weakly turbulent disks, focusing on the role of dust feedback. We find that in a smooth disk, dust feedback modifies turbulence properties, enhances dust settling, and reduces dust layer thickness. Dust clumping is seen in the simulations, likely related to magnetic zonal flows. Introducing a gas pressure bump in our simulations leads to dust trapping in a ring. Dust feedback further affects turbulence properties and promotes dust trapping by making the dust ring narrower. We find evidence of dust clumping in the ring for near-solar global solid abundance of mm-sized dust. These results suggest that dust rings are preferable locations for planetesimal formation, with implications for the observed ring structures.

description: Social commerce is an emergent business model where user-generated content is a valuable source of information that minimises the risk and ambiguity surrounding online purchase decisions. This study examines the user-generated content represented by reviews and recommendations (electronic word of mouth or eWOM) by contrasting customer (peer) vs. authority (expert) generated eWOM, from a product buying criteria perspective. Using five consumer healthcare wearable products as a benchmark, customer reviews from Amazon.com were analysed and compared with expert reviews and recommendations from Consumer Reports using machine learning techniques such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modelling, logistic regression, multinomial naïve Bayes, random forest and support vector machines. The findings suggest that expert reviews and recommendations remain product-centric and are not attuned to shifts in customer buying patterns, thus missing out on important product context-based usage and evaluation criteria such as operational, personal, and environmental. Considering these results, the authors discuss implications for managers and researchers, and future research directions.

description: To define and identify a region-of-interest (ROI) in a digital image, the shape descriptor of the ROI has to be described in terms of its boundary characteristics. To address the generic issues of contour tracking, the yConvex Hypergraph (yCHG) model was proposed by Kanna et al [1]. In this work, we propose a parallel approach to implement the yCHG model by exploiting massively parallel cores of NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). We perform our experiments on the MODIS satellite image database by NASA, and based on our analysis we observe that the performance of the serial implementation is better on smaller images, but once the threshold is achieved in terms of image resolution, the parallel implementation outperforms its sequential counterpart by 2 to 10 times (2x-10x). We also conclude that an increase in the number of hyperedges in the ROI of a given size does not impact the performance of the overall algorithm.

description: We present a boundary element method to compute numerical approximations to the non-linear Molodensky problem, which reconstructs the surface of the earth from the gravitational potential and the gravity vector. Our solution procedure solves a sequence of exterior oblique Robin problems and is based on a Nash-Hörmander iteration. We apply smoothing with the heat equation to overcome a loss of derivatives in the surface update. Numerical results compare the error between the approximation and the exact solution in a model problem.

description: C’est la volonté de concevoir des activités extra-muros de valeur qui nous a incités à consacrer notre mémoire au sujet de la visite d’entreprise comme élément central d’une séquence d’enseignement. Le premier but de ce mémoire est de produire une réflexion synthétique sur la sortie pédagogique comme moyen d’enseignement. Nous exploitons des connaissances théoriques issues de recherches scientifiques, des récits d’expériences et des documents pratiques développés par des collectivités publiques ou des entreprises. Nous avons décidé de retenir comme second but la conception d’un canevas à l’usage des enseignants du Canton de Vaud. Les objectifs d’une séquence d’enseignement autour d’une visite pédagogique sont cognitifs, affectifs et récréatifs. De manière générale, et nos différents types de sources le confirment, la visite d’entreprise poursuit ces trois objectifs et c’est à l’enseignant de les pondérer, en fonction de critères propres au programme et à sa classe. Nous nous concentrons sur la problématique de l’organisation d’activités extra-muros plutôt que sur la question de leur valeur pédagogique. Les résultats des recherches ne sont que très rarement soutenus empiriquement. Nous considérons néanmoins qu’ils sont suffisamment nombreux et convergents pour refléter les réels bénéfices d’une sortie. Les aspects pratiques développés dans les articles et ouvrages de recherches, ainsi que dans nos deux autres types de sources, sont considérés comme les résultats de notre recherche d’information et essentiellement utilisés pour la création de notre canevas. Nous avons décidé d’analyser ces résultats selon le déroulement de la séquence, soit AVANT, PENDANT et APRÈS la visite. Le canevas reprend cette même articulation. Finalement, nous abordons la question de l’évaluation de la visite et de la séquence d’enseignement dans son ensemble.

description: A phenomenological theory is proposed to analyze the asymptotic dynamics of perturbed inviscid Kolmogorov shear flows in two dimensions. The phase diagram provided by the theory is in qualitative agreement with numerical observations, which include three phases depending on the aspect ratio of the domain and the size of the perturbation: a steady shear flow, a stationary dipole, and four traveling vortices. The theory is based on a precise study of the inviscid damping of the linearized equation and on an analysis of nonlinear effects. In particular, we show that the dominant Landau pole controlling the inviscid damping undergoes a bifurcation, which has important consequences on the asymptotic fate of the perturbation.

description: For large-eddy simulation of turbulent premixed reacting flows, major challenges stem from the inability to resolve the flame in a computationally affordable manner. These challenges are most evident in combustors characterized by large domains and thin flames. In these applications, the thickened flame model may be used to extend the flame artificially to a numerically resolvable size through a thickening factor. Thicker flames exhibit suppressed wrinkling in the presence of turbulence, so an efficiency factor increases the flame speed without influencing flame thickness. In contrast to the detailed considerations of unresolved turbulent flame wrinkling, recent work shows that thickened flames do not respond correctly to resolved-scale stretch. In this work, errors in stretch-induced extinction are considered. The already established effect of thickening on extinction is illustrated, and the effect of efficiency factor is characterized in detail. Significant errors in extinction stretch rate are observed analytically and numerically in twin premixed counterflow flame simulations. In general, the original thickened flame formulation does not permit control over extinction, in contrast to its control over freely-propagating-flame thickness and speed. For reactant mixtures with a Lewis number greater than 1, a novel modification of the thickened flame formulation is presented, and through Lewis number adjustments, extinction errors are significantly reduced, while key flame thickening and speed properties of the original formulation are preserved. A test case featuring a turbulent premixed bluff-body-stabilized flame demonstrates that the extinction errors of the original formulation can lead to premature blowoff dynamics and significant statistical errors, if the grid is too coarse. The modified thickened flame model applied to the same grids addresses this issue and provides reasonable flame predictions on all grids, indicating the potential for extending this combustion model to resolutions of greater engineering relevance.
Experimental study of interfaces in Van Der Waals heterostructures

description: The advent of 2D materials and heterostructrures built from them has unleashed a huge potential to create and control novel electron systems. This thesis experimentally explores physical effects on the electronic states at the interfaces of 2D materials using electrostatic atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The findings described herein include the observation of atomically thin graphene and its local charge distributions through an insulating encapsulant using electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Similar to encapsulation with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), it is shown that covering a 2D material surface using monolayer graphene protects from damaging interactions with the environment, preventing detrimental oxidation of the sample surface in ambient conditions, with the added benefit of being able to image local charge distributions at atomic scales through the cover layer. Using this method, we image the room temperature charge density wave (CDW) phase of 1T-TaS2, a highly correlated 2D material, and identify the ordering of topological defects of the 2D CDW state to be related to that of Abrikosov vortex lattices in type II superconductor films. The interaction between the graphene layer and the 1T-TaS2 surface is further probed at 77K where 1T-TaS2 exhibits a commensurate CDW coupled to a Mott insulating electronic phase. Itinerant carriers within the graphene layer are found to screen the electron-electron interactions and reduce the Mott gap size at the 1T-TaS2 surface. Simultaneously, a charge density wave is observed to be induced in the graphene layer that is analogous to the superconducting proximity effect. The novel CDW proximity effect is found to be well captured within density functional theory (DFT) as well as with a simplified mean field Hamiltonian which allows the effect to be generalized to other materials.

description: Though education is a jurisdiction of the states, services for identified students are federally mandated and protected under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA. This study consisted of 14 semi-structured interviews with special education administrators in Illinois. Questions focused on how federal and state mandates impact administrator’s decision making regarding the services they can provide for students and how unique special education agreements are structured among districts. Findings of this study include why unique special education service agreements arise across Illinois, the impact of a private tuition reimbursement that unduly influences decisions regarding high needs students, and insights into stigmatization of special education services. Additionally, this study reveals that arbitrary changes to funding flow have time consuming consequences, and the teacher shortage within Illinois is impacting the quality of services districts provide to students. This research provides the framework to substantively inform policy recommendations: streamlining and equalizing funding models, conducting more research on the impact of funding mandates, ensuring that communities are educated about students in special education programming, and increasing IDEA grant funding.

description: We present a new parametric lens model for the massive galaxy cluster Abell~2744 based on the new ultra-deep JWST imaging taken in the framework of the UNCOVER program. These observations constitute the deepest JWST images of a lensing cluster to date, adding to the existing deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and the recent JWST ERS and DDT data taken for this field. The wide field-of-view of UNCOVER ($\sim45$ arcmin$^2$) extends beyond the cluster's well-studied central core and reveals a spectacular wealth of prominent lensed features around two massive cluster sub-structures in the north and north-west, where no multiple images were previously known. The 75 newly uncovered multiple images and candidates of 16 sources allow us, for the first time, to constrain the lensing properties and total mass distribution around these extended cluster structures using strong lensing (SL). Our model yields an effective Einstein radius of $θ_{E,\mathrm{main}}\simeq23''$ for the main cluster core (for $z_{\mathrm{s}}=2$), enclosing a mass of $M(θ<θ_{E,\mathrm{main}})\simeq7.7\times10^{13}$ M$_{\odot}$, and $θ_{E,\mathrm{NW}}\simeq13''$ for the newly discovered north-western SL structure enclosing $M(θ<θ_{E,\mathrm{NW}})\simeq2.2\times10^{13}$ M$_{\odot}$. The northern clump is somewhat less massive with $θ_{E,\mathrm{N}}\simeq7''$ enclosing $M(θ<θ_{E,\mathrm{N}})\simeq8\times10^{12}$ M$_{\odot}$. We find the northern sub-structures of Abell~2744 to broadly agree with the findings from weak lensing (WL) and align with the filamentary structure found by these previous studies. Our model in particular reveals a large area of high magnifications between the various cluster structures, which will be paramount for lensed galaxy studies in the UNCOVER field. The model is made publicly available to accompany the first UNCOVER data release.

Cardiac Action Potential Model of the Dog
Creators: name: Regulatory Catalog
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This tool represents an implementation of a canine action potential model. Cardiac electrophysiological computational models are comprised of numerous complex non-linear equations that predict the action potential in the heart at one or multiple sites. Cardiac electrophysiological modeling is a mature field which has been integrated with experimental studies to develop and test hypotheses for decades. Such models are highly modular and equations are often reused and/or modified. This model of the canine action potential is moderately complex with six currents, seven variables, and 36 parameters. This model was constructed by combining Hodgkin-Huxley formulations of the six major currents and all parameters are directly derived from experimental voltage clamp data. This fact allows for comprehensive parameter sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification. The tool is entirely self-contained, although the cardiac model developer or user can modify the equations representing the cell kinetics, stimulation protocol, and numerical solvers to generate the corresponding output for any cardiac model.

description: The bulk single crystals of $S = 1$ chain compound Ni(C$_3$H$_{10}$N$_2$)$_2$NO$_2$ClO$_4$ are grown by using a slow evaporation method at a constant temperature and a slow cooling method. It is found that the optimum condition of growing large crystals is via slow evaporation at 25 $^\circ$C using 0.015 mol Ni(ClO$_4$)$_2$$\cdot$6H$_2$O, 0.015 mol NaNO$_2$, and 0.03 mol 1,3-propanediamine liquid dissolved into 30 ml aqueous solvent. High-quality crystals with size up to $18 \times 7.5 \times 5$ mm$^3$ are obtained. The single crystals are characterized by measurements of x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and thermal conductivity. The susceptibilities along three crystallographic axes are found to exhibit broad peaks at $\sim 55$ K, and then decrease abruptly to zero at lower temperatures, which is characteristic of a Haldane chain system. The specific heat and the thermal conductivity along the $c$ axis can be attributed to the simple phononic contribution and are analyzed using the Debye approximation.

description: We present a quantum open-system approach to analyze the nonunitary dynamics of a superconducting qubit when it evolves under the influence of external noise. We consider the presence of longitudinal and transverse environmental fluctuations affecting the system's dynamics and model these fluctuations by defining their correlation function in time. By using a Gaussian-like noise correlation, we can study low- and high-frequency noise contribution to decoherence and implement our results in the computation of geometric phases in open quantum systems. We numerically study when the accumulated phase of a solid-state qubit can still be found close to the unitary (Berry) one. Our results can be used to explain experimental measurements of the Berry phase under high-frequency fluctuations and design experimental future setups when manipulating superconducting qubits.

description: We investigate the coupling relations among perturbations in general multi-field models. We derived the equations of motion for both background and perturbations in a general basis. Within this formalism, we revisit the construction of kinematic orthogonal normal vectors using the successive time derivatives of the background field velocity. We show that the coupling relations among modes in this kinematic basis can be reduced, by employing the background equations of motion for the scalar fields and their high order time derivatives. There are two typical features in the field space: inflationary trajectory and geometry of the potential. Correspondingly, the couplings among modes fall into two categories: one is controlled only by the kinematic quantities, the other involves high order derivatives of the potential. Remarkably, the couplings of the first category, i.e. controlled by the kinematic quantities only, show a "chain" structure. That is, each mode is only coupled to its two neighbour modes.

STI Co-Design Lab

description: This deliverable describes the organisation, results and validation phase of the first Gender STI Co-Design Lab (LAB).
 The first Co-design Lab that took place in September-October 2021 addressed the Gender STI objectives to integrate the gender perspective in bilateral and multilateral agreements between the EU Member States, Associated Countries and third countries through design thinking methods and participatory techniques.
 The document describes the methods, participatory steps and tools that have been applied in the first LAB to co-design shared solutions and prototypes for common challenges regarding gender inequalities in STI and to support the emergence of an international community of practitioners with similar challenging objectives. More specifically, the deliverable collects in detail “what” was done and how in the LAB, it reflects on the “so what” question, as to the sense and purpose of the challenge-based prototypes and their initial outputs, and finally draws some conclusions with a “now what” reflection on what was learnt and suggests possible priorities for future actions.

“Why archive?” and Other Important Questions Asked by Occupiers

description: As the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement began to take shape in Zuccotti Park—also known as Liberty Square—in New York City, an archives working group formed as a collective interested in preserving the physical and digital documents created by activists in the movement. Members of the Archives Working Group (AWG) were faced with a unique set of challenges, as well as the opportunity to address these challenges in an independent, non-hierarchical, non-institutional setting. Consensus-based decision-making drove the actions of the group, but competing visions also needed to be reconciled. Some of the most common questions about the role and function of archives required explanation, both within and beyond the working group. The desire and need to interact with the archives’ creators was integral to the establishment of the OWS AWG's collection. Managing relationships with any set of living donors is inherently complicated, and the occupiers we found ourselves working with represented a dynamic group of content creators and contributors. Activists ask a lot of questions. By definition activists are challenging the status quo. As members of the AWG, we were asked a lot of very valid questions including: “What is an archive? Is there a difference between art and archives?” “What are you collecting?” “Who will have access to what you are collecting?” “Where is this stuff going to be kept?” “Are you trying to collect all the archives produced in the movement?” “Why collect this?” and “Why not this?” “What do archivists do and why?” “Why should archives matter to people in the movement?” These questions and how we answered them serve as the foundation for this chapter. We will elaborate on our answers to activists’ questions and put forth an analysis of archival theory as related to some of the questions with especially complex implications. The formation of a digital archive also brought up some issues that are beyond those most relevant to the discussion of management of and access to analog archives. Part of this essay is dedicated to the ways in which we addressed these particular concerns. We will conclude with lessons learned in the process of creating a collection of physical and digital archives coming out of Occupy Wall Street in 2011-2012.

description: Chetogena grandis Rondani, 1859
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 176 (key), 178 (description).
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in Liguria vel in Pedemontio [Liguria as well as Piedmont (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, holotype (MZUF: Box 12): Chetogena Rnd. / grandis Rnd. assimilis / 606 / “ Questo esemplare è stato studiato da L. Messnil nell’agosto 1938 ” [Specimen studied by L. Messnil in August 1938].
CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Phorocera grandis (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 140, Pape et al. 1995: 17, O’Hara et al. 2009: 98, Cerretti 2010: 110; O’Hara et al. 2020: 407).
REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 178) described Chetogena grandis from a single male: “ unicum masculum observavi a Clar. Spinola mihi transmissus [I observed a single male sent to me by Mr. Spinola]”. Massimiliano Spinola collected both in Piedmont and in Liguria. There are two males in the MZUF, one of which L. Messnil examined. We consider this latter as the holotype. Herting (1969: 195) incorrectly designated Mesnil’s specimen as the lectotype and considered the other male as belonging to a different species.

description: The focused organization theory of social ties proposes that the structure of human social networks can be arranged around extra-network foci, which can include shared physical spaces such as homes, workplaces, restaurants, and so on. Until now, this has been difficult to investigate on a large scale, but the huge volume of data available from online location-based social services now makes it possible to examine the friendships and mobility of many thousands of people, and to investigate the relationship between meetings at places and the structure of the social network. In this paper, we analyze a large dataset from Foursquare, the most popular online location-based social network. We examine the properties of city-based social networks, finding that they have common structural properties, and that the category of place where two people meet has very strong influence on the likelihood of their being friends. Inspired by these observations in combination with the focused organization theory, we then present a model to generate city-level social networks, and show that it produces networks with the structural properties seen in empirical data.

description: Models of pulse formation in nerve conduction have provided manifold insight not only into neuronal dynamics but also the non-linear dynamics of pulse formation in general. Recent observation of neuronal electro-chemical pulses also driving mechanical deformation of the tubular neuronal wall and thereby generating ensuing cytoplasmic flow now question the impact of flow on the electro-chemical dynamics of pulse formation. We, here, theoretically investigate the classical Fitzhugh-Nagumo model now accounting for advective coupling between the pulse propagator typically describing membrane potential and here triggering mechanical deformations and, thus, governing flow magnitude, and the pulse controller, a chemical species advected with the ensuing fluid flow. Employing analytical calculations and numerical simulations we find, that advective coupling allows for a linear control of pulse width while leaving pulse velocity unchanged. We therefore uncover an independent control of pulse width by fluid flow coupling.
