Philosophie politique radicale du paysage au XXIe siècle et ressources anarchistes (Radical political landscape philosophy of the 21st century and anarchist resources)
Creators: name: Mannisi, Alban
Publisher: name: RMIT University

Subjects: classificationCode: 330109
subject: Landscape architecture

description: BACKGROUND: This article by Alban Mannisi discusses the legacy of nineteenth-century eco-anarchist thinkers at the heart of contemporary political landscape philosophies. Through situations and projects drawn from the cultures and landscape traversed by Alban Mannisi (Singapore, Korea and Japan), the article exposes the resilience and re-emergence of resistance revitalising episteme developed by Joseph Proudhon, Murray Bookchin, or Piotr Kropotkin. This article was a response to the dialogue initiated between Alban Mannisi and a political specialist Phillipe Corcuff about worldwide civil society resistance facing new environmental issues. The article was written and published in French. CONTRIBUTION: The article illustrates cases of conflicts initiated by government and market initiatives and those of social and environmental cohesion maintained by indigenous communities. It is to demonstrate that the social reorganisation and domination of a neoliberal ecology is still today, as it has been since the industrial revolutions of the 19th century, at the source of environmental and community struggles. This article attempts to link Western thoughts of eco-resistance with current Asian practices and the Nagoya Protocol (art. 12) (2012) calling to pay attention to traditional indigenous practices and customs. SIGNIFICANCE: Alban Mannisi was commissioned by Dr. Phillipe Corcuff, Political Specialist and Professor of the Institute of Political Studies of Lyon (France) to contribute to the online publication of grand-angle-libertaire, a network of thinkers and philosophers that publishes analytical texts on libertarianism and associated issues. Texts are reviewed by an editorial board. As an established political figure on resistance movement in Europe, Phillipe Corcuff exposed Mannisi's research in prominent newspaper Mediapart and European activist network-ATTAC.

description: Gamma sources with high flux and spectral densities are the main requirements for new nuclear physics experiments to be performed in several worldwide laboratories and envisaged in the ELI-NP (Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics) project or in the IRIDE (Interdisciplinary Research Infrastructure with Dual Electron Linacs) proposals. The paper is focalized on an experiment of gamma photons production using Compton collisions between the DAFNE electron beam and a high average power laser pulse, amplified in a Fabry-Pérot optical resonator. The calculations show that the resulting gamma beam source has extremely interesting properties in terms of spectral density, energy spread and gamma flux comparable (and even better) with the last generation gamma sources. The energy of the gamma beam depends on the adopted laser wavelength and can be tuned changing the energy of the electron ring. In particular we have analyzed the case of a gamma factory tunable in the 2-9 MeV range. The main parameters of this new facility are presented and the perturbation on the transverse and longitudinal electron beam dynamics is discussed. A preliminary accelerator layout to allow experiments with the gamma beam is presented with a first design of the accelerator optics.

Nigeria's Public Procurement Law-Puissant Issues and Projected Amendments

Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Public Procurement Act 2007 brought a sense of regulation or framework to the procurement process in Nigeria. Preceding this law, Nigerian public procurement was not formally regulated in the sense that there was no law, which governed procurement at the federal or State level. This paper examined the various parts and sections of the PPA Act 2007 towards identifying major loopholes of the Act, as it may allow one party to circumvent the Act's intention without actually breaking that law. Some identified loopholes included ambiguity in the qualification criteria of a procurement manager, non-inclusion of the AEC professional on the National Council on Public Procurement, its failure to provide methods for dispute resolution etc. Meanwhile, some challenges militating against the implantation of the PPA Act 2007 identified were the absence of strong and compelling institutions, pervading corruption that has become Nigeria socio-cultural value, citizen’s refusal to demand accountability etc. Although some provisions of the PPA Act were amended in 2009 by the Nigerian Senate, some other vital amendments were proposed to the relevant authorities for evaluation and legislation. The findings of this research provide instrument and ideas that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Nigeria’s procurement process.
Search for heavy, long-lived, charged particles with large ionisation energy loss in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV using the ATLAS experiment and the full Run 2 dataset
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2023

description: This paper presents a search for hypothetical massive, charged, long-lived particles with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV. These particles are expected to move significantly slower than the speed of light and should be identifiable by their high transverse momenta and anomalously large specific ionisation losses, dE/dx. Trajectories reconstructed solely by the inner tracking system and a dE/dx measurement in the pixel detector layers provide sensitivity to particles with lifetimes down to O(1) ns with a mass, measured using the Bethe–Bloch relation, ranging from 100 GeV to 3 TeV. Interpretations for pair-production of R-hadrons, charginos and staus in scenarios of supersymmetry compatible with these particles being long-lived are presented, with mass limits extending considerably beyond those from previous searches in broad ranges of lifetime.

description: APIs are increasingly becoming new business assets for organizations and consequently, API functionality and its pricing should be precisely defined for customers. Pricing is typically composed by different plans that specify a range of limitations, e.g., a Free plan allows 100 monthly requests while a Gold plan has 10000 requests per month. In this context, the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) has emerged to model the functional part of an API, becoming a de facto industry standard and boosting a rich ecosystem of vendor-neutral tools to assist API providers and consumers. In contrast, there is no proposal for modeling API pricings (i.e. their plans and limitations) and this lack hinders the creation of tools that can leverage this information. To deal with this gap, this paper presents a pricing modeling framework that includes: (a) Pricing4APIs model, a comprehensive and rigorous model of API pricings, along SLA4OAI, a serialization that extends OAS; (b) an operation to validate the description of API pricings, with a toolset (sla4oai-analyzer) that has been developed to automate this operation. Additionally, we analyzed 268 real-world APIs to assess the expressiveness of our proposal and created a representative dataset of 54 pricing models to validate our framework.

description: The Cluster Counting (CC) technique, proposed for dE/dx measurements with the SuperB drift-chamber, could, significantly, improve particle identification by avoiding the fluctuations involved in charge measurements. As the technique is quite sensitive to the detector working conditions and to the front-end chain response, in this note we have investigated the effects on clusters detection efficiency of electron diffusion, preamplifier frequencyresponse and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) using different algorithms. The evaluation is based on Garfield datasets, generated for a single cell geometry, at different impact points for π/μ/e particles with momenta 120, 140, 160, 180 and 210 MeV. The current waveforms generated by Garfield have been shaped according to the preamplifier response and different amounts of white gaussian noise has been added to the waveforms to simulate different SNRs. Finally an estimation of π/μ/e separation is shown.

description: The WHO Guidelines for drinking-water quality recommend the water safety plan (WSP) approach as the most effective way of ensuring continuous provision of safe drinking-water. The challenges related to drinking-water supply in rural areas and small towns are of notable concern globally, but the WSP approach has been proven to work effectively in small-scale water supplies. It clearly emphasizes the importance of preventing waterborne disease, and supports communities in dealing with the everyday challenges of maintaining a reliable and safe water supply. This second, updated edition of WHOâ€Ìs Water safety plan: a field guide to improving drinking-water safety in small communities provides a step-by-step introduction to the WSP approach and includes a range of ready-to-use templates to assist those involved in rural water supply with developing and implementing their own WSPs.

description: In questa nota divulgativa sono presentate le proprietà fenomenologiche della fase superconduttrice quali la resistenza elettrica nulla, l'espulsione del campo magnetico o effetto 'Meissner', il concetto di campo magnetico critico e supercorrente critica, gli ordini di grandezza delle variabili fisiche coinvolte puntualizzando le tappe storiche della superconduttività. Si mostra il differente comportamento fra un superconduttore e un conduttore perfetto e sono introdotte le due classi di materiali superconduttori e le differenti strutture cristalline. Inoltre si accenna cosa è un quanto di flusso magnetico, le conseguenze dovute alla quantizzazione del campo magnetico in un superconduttore. Brevemente si presenta la speculazione che delinea i fondamenti microscopici del fenomeno superconduttivo: la teoria 'BCS' e il concetto della formazione delle coppie di 'Cooper'. Infine è accennata la descrizione della transizione di fase da uno stato normale a quello superconduttore come 'rottura spontanea della simmetria', concetto elegante e potente usato in modo generale per la comprensione di molteplici fenomeni fisici

description: La Fondazione CNAO ha tra i suoi scopi anche lo svolgimento di attività di ricerca. Il centro CNAO è stato concepito sin dall'inizio con tre sale di trattamento, espandibili fino a cinque, ed una 'sala sperimentale' nella quale le attività di ricerca possano venire svolte senza intralciare e senza essere intralciate dalla attività clinica.Tale sala sperimentale deve essere progettata per essere 'multi-uso', cioè tale da poter venire utilizzata per attività di ricerca nei campi più disparati e non specializzata in un tipo di attività particolare. Possibili argomenti di ricerca sono radiobiologia, sviluppo di monitor di fascio, sviluppo di dosimetri, studi di radiation hardness e molti altri ancora.Lo studio di tale facility ed in particolare lo studio degli aspetti tecnici legati all'ampliamento del complesso dell'acceleratore è stato portato avanti congiuntamente da CNAO e INFN, nell'ambito dell'accordo quadro approvato nel 2009 e del nuovo accordo quadro stipulato nel 2013. Per meglio identificare le necessità dei possibili utenti è stato svolto un sondaggio i cui risultati sono stati considerati nella definizione delle specifiche funzionali della linea e della sala sperimentale. Tale sondaggio è illustrato più avanti in questo documento. In questo documento viene descritto il progetto della sala sperimentale e delle linee di alta e di bassa energie coinvolte. Nella prima parte del documento viene data una descrizione generale del progetto, mentre i dettagli sono generalmente riportati nelle appendici e nei documenti allegati.

description: The rapid development of infrared spectroscopy, observational astronomy, and scanning near-field microscopy has been enabled by the emergence of sensitive mid- and far-infrared photodetectors. Owing to their exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and fast photoresponse, superconducting hot-electron bolometers (HEBs) have become a critical component in these applications. While superconducting HEBs are traditionally made from sputtered superconducting thin films like Nb or NbN, the potential of layered van der Waals (vdW) superconductors is untapped at THz frequencies. Here, we report the fabrication of superconducting HEBs out of few-layer NbSe$_2$ microwires. By improving the interface between NbSe$_2$ and metal leads connected to a broadband antenna, we overcome the impedance mismatch between this vdW superconductor and the radio frequency (RF) readout circuitry that allowed us to achieve large responsivity THz detection over the range from 0.13 to 2.5 THz with minimum noise equivalent power of 7~pW$\sqrt{Hz}$. Using the heterodyne sub-THz mixing technique, we reveal that NbSe$_2$ superconducting HEBs are relatively fast and feature a characteristic response time in the nanosecond range limited by the slow heat escape to the bath through a SiO$_2$ layer, on which they are assembled, in agreement with energy relaxation model. Our work expands the family of materials for superconducting HEBs technology, reveals NbSe$_2$ as a promising platform, and offers a reliable protocol for the in-lab production of custom bolometers using the vdW assembly technique.

description: Understanding heating and cooling mechanisms in mesoscopic superconductor-semiconductor hybrid devices is crucial for their application in quantum technologies. Owing to the poor thermal conductivity of typical devices, heating effects can drive superconducting-to-normal phase transitions even at low applied bias, observed as sharp conductance dips through the loss of Andreev excess currents. Tracking such dips across magnetic field, cryostat temperature, and applied microwave power, which constitutes Joule spectroscopy, allows to uncover the underlying cooling bottlenecks in different parts of a device. By applying this technique, we analyze heat dissipation in devices based on full-shell InAs-Al nanowires and reveal that superconducting islands are strongly susceptible to heating as their cooling is limited by the rather inefficient electron-phonon coupling, as opposed to grounded superconductors that primarily cool by quasiparticle diffusion. Our measurements indicate that powers as low as 50-150 pW are able to fully suprpress the superconductivity of an island. Finally, we show that applied microwaves lead to similar heating effects as DC signals, and explore the interplay of the microwave frequency and the effective electron-phonon relaxation time.

description: Qudits with local dimension $d>2$ can have unique structure and uses that qubits ($d=2$) cannot. Qudit Pauli operators provide a very useful basis of the space of qudit states and operators. We study the structure of the qudit Pauli group for any, including composite, $d$ in several ways. To cover composite values of $d$, we work with modules over commutative rings, which generalize the notion of vector spaces over fields. For any specified set of commutation relations, we construct a set of qudit Paulis satisfying those relations. We also study the maximum size of sets of Paulis that mutually non-commute and sets that non-commute in pairs. Finally, we give methods to find near minimal generating sets of Pauli subgroups, calculate the sizes of Pauli subgroups, and find bases of logical operators for qudit stabilizer codes. Useful tools in this study are normal forms from linear algebra over commutative rings, including the Smith normal form, alternating Smith normal form, and Howell normal form of matrices. Possible applications of this work include the construction and analysis of qudit stabilizer codes, entanglement assisted codes, parafermion codes, and fermionic Hamiltonian simulation.

description: We investigate the effects of two-body currents on magnetic dipole moments of medium-mass and heavy nuclei using the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group with chiral effective field theory interactions and currents. Focusing on near doubly magic nuclei from oxygen to bismuth, we have found that the leading two-body currents globally improve the agreement with experimental magnetic moments. Moreover, our results show the importance of multi-shell effects for $^{41}$Ca, which suggest that the $Z=N=20$ gap in $^{40}$Ca is not as robust as in $^{48}$Ca. The increasing contribution of two-body currents in heavier systems is explained by the operator structure of the center-of-mass dependent Sachs term.

AI-Enhanced Analysis of Percentage Depth Dose Curves Along the Beam Axis of a Phantom Filled with Different Clinical PTO Objects: A Monte Carlo Geant4 Study
Creators: name: Sec, Zik
name: Zhāng, Xiǎotóng
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 

PurposeThis study investigates the behaviors of percentage depth dose (PDD) curves along the beam axis in a phantom filled with different clinical patient treatment objects (PTOs). By integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Monte Carlo simulations using the Geant4 toolkit, the research aims to enhance the precision and efficiency of dose distribution modeling in radiotherapy.

Design/Methodology/ApproachA water-equivalent phantom was modeled, incorporating various clinical PTOs such as bone, muscle, fat, lung tissue, and metallic implants. The phantom was irradiated with photon beams of 6 MV and 18 MV. AI algorithms were employed to optimize Monte Carlo simulations in Geant4, facilitating the analysis of energy deposition and the generation of PDD curves for different scenarios.

FindingsThe study reveals that the composition and density of PTOs significantly influence the PDD curves, with high-density materials causing pronounced changes in dose distribution. AI-enhanced simulations provided deeper insights into the complex interplay between PTO composition and beam energy, improving the accuracy of dose predictions. The results showed excellent agreement with experimental data, validating the AI-optimized Geant4 simulations.

Practical Implications

The integration of AI in Monte Carlo simulations offers a robust tool for improving radiotherapy treatment planning. The ability to accurately model complex geometries and interactions ensures personalized and effective dose delivery, potentially enhancing patient outcomes.

Originality/ValueThis study pioneers the application of AI in enhancing Monte Carlo simulations within the Geant4 toolkit for radiotherapy. The findings underscore the importance of AI-driven approaches in advancing the precision and efficiency of dose distribution modeling in complex clinical scenarios.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND
The Radical Discipline was an essay included in an edition of Caliper Journal with an editorial focus on Power. The edition included contributions from 36 other authors.
RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE
Caliper Journal is an independent student led architectural publication run by a group of current and recently graduated students of the Masters of Architecture at RMIT. It is the only independent journal in Australia to consider the discourse on architecture that flourishes within the student body and across the recently graduated. Every edition of the journal is given over to a guest editor who petitions written and creative responses from students, academics and the profession within the curated framework. The journal was guest edited by Amy Evans (RMIT Graduate 2015, Graduate Architect Kennedy Nolan). As such this journal continues a Victorian and RMIT history of independent publication in architecture that includes Transition Journal and Sabaud Magazine.
RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION
The Radical Discipline made connections between the academic and design studio led practice of the author and the recent architectural competition for the St Kilda Pride Centre. The project sought a critical juncture between the queer methodologies put to work in the design studio context and a reflection on the public presentation of the winning design by Grant Amon and Beardsley Architects. The text builds on the contemporary interest in the Queer to offer improvisational strategies that resist, disperse and drive the distribution of power.

description: Soil data are required for purposes of environmental protection and for answering questions related to climate change, climate impact, and adaptation. Information on the soil status and its long-term changes are required for modeling local and regional processes. In Germany, soil data are collected and made available by various public authorities and academic institutions. The brochure "Soil data in Germany" is a clear compilation of information on measurement and survey activities and on maps with nationwide coverage. It is aimed at making these activities known to users in science and administration and at providing access to measurement and survey data. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: Wer erhebt und misst welche Parameter in den Böden? Wo liegen die Messstandorte und wofür werden die Messdaten verwendet? Diese häufig gestellten Fragen waren Anlass für das Umweltbundesamt, die Broschüre Bodendaten in Deutschland in der nunmehr 3. Auflage zu veröffentlichen. Zwanzig Steckbriefe vermitteln ein vielfältiges Bild über die wichtigsten Mess- und Erhebungsaktivitäten für Böden.Im Vergleich wird deutlich, dass sich die einzelnen Aktivitäten sowohl im Anwendungszweck, in der Anzahl der Standorte und deren Verteilung als auch in der Untersuchungshäufigkeit und in der Untersuchungs- und Probenahmemethodik unterscheiden. Allen gemeinsam sind jedoch der bundesweite und dauerhaft angelegte Betrachtungsansatz und die Fokussierung auf das Medium Boden.

description: Given a renormalization scheme, we show how to formulate a tractable convex relaxation of the set of feasible local density matrices of a many-body quantum system. The relaxation is obtained by introducing a hierarchy of constraints between the reduced states of ever-growing sets of lattice sites. The coarse-graining maps of the underlying renormalization procedure serve to eliminate a vast number of those constraints, such that the remaining ones can be enforced with reasonable computational means. This can be used to obtain rigorous lower bounds on the ground state energy of arbitrary local Hamiltonians, by performing a linear optimization over the resulting convex relaxation of reduced quantum states. The quality of the bounds crucially depends on the particular renormalization scheme, which must be tailored to the target Hamiltonian. We apply our method to 1D translation-invariant spin models, obtaining energy bounds comparable to those attained by optimizing over locally translation-invariant states of $n\gtrsim 100$ spins. Beyond this demonstration, the general method can be applied to a wide range of other problems, such as spin systems in higher spatial dimensions, electronic structure problems, and various other many-body optimization problems, such as entanglement and nonlocality detection.

description: Several classes of quantum circuits have been shown to provide a quantum computational advantage under certain assumptions. The study of ever more restricted classes of quantum circuits capable of quantum advantage is motivated by possible simplifications in experimental demonstrations. In this paper we study the efficiency of measurement-based quantum computation with a completely flat temporal ordering of measurements. We propose new constructions for the deterministic computation of arbitrary Boolean functions, drawing on correlations present in multi-qubit Greenberger, Horne, and Zeilinger (GHZ) states. We characterize the necessary measurement complexity using the Clifford hierarchy, and also generally decrease the number of qubits needed with respect to previous constructions. In particular, we identify a family of Boolean functions for which deterministic evaluation using non-adaptive MBQC is possible, featuring quantum advantage in width and number of gates with respect to classical circuits.

description: Accurate alignment of a fixed mobile device equipped with inertial sensors inside a moving vehicle is important for navigation, activity recognition, and other applications. Accurate estimation of the device mounting angle is required to rotate the inertial measurement from the sensor frame to the moving platform frame to standardize measurements and improve the performance of the target task. In this work, a data-driven approach using deep neural networks (DNNs) is proposed to learn the yaw mounting angle of a smartphone equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and strapped to a car. The proposed model uses only the accelerometer and gyroscope readings from an IMU as input and, in contrast to existing solutions, does not require global position inputs from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). To train the model in a supervised manner, IMU data is collected for training and validation with the sensor mounted at a known yaw mounting angle, and a range of ground truth labels is generated by applying a random rotation in a bounded range to the measurements. The trained model is tested on data with real rotations showing similar performance as with synthetic rotations. The trained model is deployed on an Android device and evaluated in real-time to test the accuracy of the estimated yaw mounting angle. The model is shown to find the mounting angle at an accuracy of 8 degrees within 5 seconds, and 4 degrees within 27 seconds. An experiment is conducted to compare the proposed model with an existing off-the-shelf solution.

description: Wearable sweat biosensors for noninvasive monitoring of health parameters have attracted significant attention. Having these biosensors embedded in textile substrates can provide a convenient experience due to their soft and flexible nature that conforms to the skin, creating good contact for long-term use. These biosensors can be easily integrated with everyday clothing by using textile fabrication processes to enhance affordable and scalable manufacturing. Herein, a flexible electrochemical glucose sensor that can be screen-printed onto a textile substrate has been demonstrated. The screen-printed textile-based glucose biosensor achieved a linear response in the range of 20–1000 µM of glucose concentration and high sensitivity (18.41 µA mM−1 cm−2, R2 = 0.996). In addition, the biosensors show high selectivity toward glucose among other interfering analytes and excellent stability over 30 days of storage. The developed textile-based biosensor can serve as a platform for monitoring bio analytes in sweat, and it is expected to impact the next generation of wearable devices.

description: PORFIDO (Physical Oceanography by RFID Outreach) is an underwater measurement system designed to gather oceanographic data from the Optical Modules of a neutrino telescope with a minimum of disturbance to the main installation. PORFIDO is composed of a sensor glued to the outside of an Optical Module, in contact with seawater, and of a Reader placed inside the sphere, facing the sensor. Data are transmitted to the reader through the glass by RFID and to shore in real time for periods of years. The sensor gathers power from the radio frequency, thus eliminating the need for batteries or connectors through the glass.  We have deployed four PORFIDO probes measuring temperatures with the NEMO Phase 2 tower in march 2013. After more than one year all probes are operative and are transmitting temperature data from 3500 m depth. In the fall of 2014 we will deploy with the first KM3 Phase 1 towers an improved version of PORFIDO with a resolution of 0.5E-3 °C.

description: BACKGROUND Audio and pattern synthesis work for sound installation or live performance, such as Mark Fell (64 Beautiful Phase Violations, 2013) & Lorenzo Senni (The Shape Of Trance To Come, 2017) could be described by few composition techniques and few characteristic sounds to truly ensure the genre's minimalistic sonic approach in the digital practices. What if only one type of sound becomes the main central element for the whole temporal experience of the performance? CONTRIBUTION The digital sound performance Untitled (Temporal Structure Linear Texture One) explores Time through the scope of a linear sound production by using subtle rhythmic pattern modification for 33 minutes long. By using a graphical programming environment, the audio work explores the nature of repetition and difference through the lens of using one type of sound only. Subtle change occur placing the listeners in a specific effort to endure the performance on one-hand and, on another hand to totally hypnotize them by breaking with the notion of Time. Did it last for about 10, 20 or 30 minutes? As sound is a Time-Based Media, obviously narrowing a performance to its strict minimum to exist (i.e. 1 sound only), to emphasizing over Temporality and the experience of the listener. SIGNIFICANCE With more complex music software & audio plug-ins development, the creative industry is producing hundreds of new virtual instruments, adding multitude extra layers of sounds into composition conflicting completely with the famous design quote; - less is more. Untitled (Temporal Structure Linear Texture One) performance was commissioned on June 23, 2018 for the opening of A.Farm, a new art space collaboration between the Nguyen Art Foundation, San Art & MoT+++ located in District 12, Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam.
