description: Il testo descrive il rilievo urbano effettuato sui percorsi commerciali presenti nel centro storico di Parma mediante l’utilizzo di una metodologia volta ad ottenere il fotoraddrizzamento di tutti i fronti urbani caratterizzanti i principali assi commerciali. Gli elaborati esito di queste operazioni si distinguono per potenzialità espressiva, immediatezza di lettura e comprensione e per la grande valenza nella trasmissione delle informazioni e delle conoscenze legate all’immagine del centro storico.
description: The conservation of the fabric of the old town centre is not simply a problem of safeguarding the cultural heritage of the collective memory; it must, most of all, be an expression of the will to recover and restore the value of a living urban structure since, in the urban context, the old town centre plays a role in the social identification and recognition of the community.
The old town centres of Italian cities have always been characterised by the coexistence of residential and shopping functions but, following the profound social changes of recent decades, shopping in the old town fabric no longer enjoys the privileged condition that it had for many centuries: not only have new purchasing spaces established themselves in suburban and extra-urban areas, diverting the flow of consumers from central areas that have lost a large share of the market, but there are also problems related to the emptying of the residential function.
In recent years, the search for solutions to these problems has resulted in the popularity of the Natural Shopping Centre concept. Many Italian old town centres are experimenting with an integrated and coordinated system of commercial businesses in the foodservice, hospitality, craft and service sectors and dedicated market, rest and reception areas that were originally developed and organised spontaneously.
The fundamental points on which the creation of an NSC is based are a strong organisation and a recognisable unitary image, both indispensable for offering an alternative to the new shopping areas located near built-up areas and in recently-constructed suburbs.
The elements of the urban landscape also draw vitality from the private and collective functions of the center and at the same time the collective facilities located shape their relations with citizens by following various forms of exploitation of urban space.
The first elegy of Maximianus: A translation and commentary based on an analysis of possible earlier Latin influences found by a computer search on the PHI CD-ROM disk.

description: This thesis comprises an assessment of the introductory poem of a book of six, known as the "first elegy by Maximianus". The authorship of the poem is uncertain, and a principal objective of the study is to shed light on this puzzle. A review of the poem's quality and its historical context leads to the thesis that it could have been authored as a school exercise by one or a group of students of Latin literature writing in the 6th century A.D. The influence of earlier writers on the composition of the poem has been examined by performing a thorough search through classical Latin literature for phrases that are similar to those found in this "first elegy by Maximianus". Such a study would have been prohibitively time-consuming until recently, when the introduction of high-speed computers has made the exercise feasible. In the present work, the PHI CD-ROM collection of the complete Republican and early Imperial Latin literature was used as the primary reference for phrase-matching. A methodology has been developed and described for classifying the probability of earlier influence on phrases in the poem. A complete translation of the poem is followed by a commentary on the influence of previous writings on phrases in the first 220 lines of the poem that have been found in the course of the computer search to be similar to phrases used by previous authors. It is shown that 62 phrases and half-lines are likely to have been influenced by the Latin literature of the period from 250 B.C. to 200 A.D. The evidence is consistent with the suggestion in this thesis that the elegy could have been a school exercise written by an immature student or group of students.

description: The use of carbon dioxide (CO₂) for stunning and killing animals is considered to compromise welfare due to air hunger, anxiety, fear, and pain. Despite decades of research, no alternatives have so far been found that provide a safe and reliable way to induce unconsciousness in groups of animals, and also cause less distress than CO₂. Here, we revisit the current and historical literature to identify key research questions that may lead to the identification and implementation of more humane alternatives to induce unconsciousness in mice, rats, poultry, and pigs. In addition to the evaluation of novel methods and agents, we identify the need to standardise the terminology and behavioural assays within the field. We further reason that more accurate measurements of consciousness state are needed and serve as a central component in the assessment of suffering. Therefore, we propose a roadmap toward improving animal welfare during end-of-life procedures.
Cooperation as a driver of environmental innovation in Australian businesses

description: Cooperation with external partners regarding the introduction of new or modified products, processes, managerial practices or marketing methods that aim to avoid harming the environment, environmental innovation, has been a subject of debate around the world, and more recently in Australia. A review of the environmental management and innovation literature has revealed gaps, especially in the empirical testing of the influence of business cooperation on environmental innovation. A survey of 2732 businesses by the Australian Bureau of Statistics was analysed employing logistic regression. A positive linear relationship between environmental innovation and business cooperation for innovation was found. While both expenditure on research and development (R&D) and business size influence the likelihood of adopting and developing green innovations to a large extent, our findings do not show significant results for other control variables: export, financial assistance (subsidies and grants), and the industry sector.
The Effects of Feedforward Self-modeling on Self-efficacy, Music Performance Anxiety, and Music Performance in Anxious Adolescent Musicians

description: Music performance anxiety (MPA) is a significant concern for musicians of all ages, levels of mastery, and genders (Kenny, 2011). Whereas the anxiety-performance relationship has been well researched in athletes, similar research with musicians is sparse (Nordin-Bates, 2012). In the present research, video feed-forward self-modeling (FF-SM video) was explored as an intervention for use by musicians. FF-SM involves video-editing, typically, to depict a level of master performance higher than that yet attained by the individual. Although video FF-SM has been used successfully with athletes (Ste-Marie, Rymal, Vertes, & Martini, 2011) to increase self-efficacy and improve performance, its use has not yet been explored with musicians. In the present study, Bandura’s Self-efficacy Theory (1977) was used as a framework to explore whether FF-SM videos would increase self-efficacy, lower anxiety, and improve performance in adolescent musicians who self-reported MPA. Twelve string musicians, aged 13 to 18 years, who self-reported MPA took part in a two-week intervention where in one week they practiced with the use of a FF-SM video and in the alternate week they practiced without the video. At the end of each week, participants performed the selected repertoire from their video. Video FF-SM significantly increased musicians’ self-efficacy but only for those musicians who viewed the video in the second week. No changes in anxiety or performance levels were observed. Zimmerman’s triadic self-regulation model is used to explain the cyclical pattern of self-efficacy benefits. It is concluded that the FF-SM video can be an effective tool to increase self-efficacy for musicians who self-report MPA, but that an enactive experience is first needed for those benefits to occur. Research extended over a longer time frame is recommended in order to examine whether influences on anxiety and performance would emerge at a later time.

An 'expanding text-iverse' approach to Big History learning and teaching materials
Creators: name: Voros, Joseph
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The basic idea is that multiple levels of technical depth are incorporated into a single unified document/text/multimedia package which would be useful for multiple people depending on their purpose in reading it, as well as over a number of subsequent 'readings' of the material. This presentation will suggest a multi-layered approach to the design and structure of textual material (including multimedia, etc) relating to Big History, and outline some of the major levels of technical detail that might be considered, ranging from popular non-technical (further broken down in terms of age/schooling level, such as primary, secondary, and adult), to tertiary survey level, to advanced undergraduate level, to very advanced under- or early post-graduate level, to possibly even research boundary level. Some examples from existing literatures, both Big History and beyond, will be used to illustrate the different levels, and some ideas for how such a text/multimedia package might be designed and structured will also be discussed, including the use of music. I hope to start a continuing conversation around the ways to reach a very wide audience for Big History, that thinks beyond the more traditional models of textbooks and technical level that publishers favour. Big History can change the world through changing worldviews, so let us give it the best chance we can to let it!

description: Intranuclear rodlets (INRs) are poorly understood intranuclear bodies originally identified within neuronal nuclei on the basis of their unique morphology. Their mechanism of formation, biochemical composition and physiological significance are largely unknown. To gain insight into the molecular regulators of INR formation, mice with a conditional adult β cell-specific knockout of the master regulator of β-cell metabolism, Lkb1 protein kinase (LABKO mice) were studied. The proportion of beta cells containing INRs was significantly reduced in LABKO mice. Further examination ruled out mTOR and Mark2 as downstream effectors of Lkb1 knockout INR phenotype. Instead it identified the mTOR pathway as an independent regulator of INR formation. To investigate INR changes in a pathophysiological context, β cell INRs were examined in two models of human metabolic syndrome: (1) mice maintained on a high-fat diet and (2) leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. Significant INR reduction was observed in both models. Taken together, our results support the view that INR formation in pancreatic β cells is a dynamic and regulated process. The substantial depletion of INRs in LABKO and obese diabetic mice suggests their relationship to β cell function and potential involvement in diabetes pathogenesis. The significance of these findings was further underscored by the demonstration of INRs in human endocrine pancreas, suggesting their potential relevance to the development of metabolic syndrome in humans. The existence of biochemically distinct subtypes of INRs has been suggested by previous reports of differential immunological staining of INRs in neurochemically distinct neuronal populations. Here, a novel variant of INR has been identified that is immunoreactive for the 40kDa huntingtin associated protein and ubiquitin; and evidence was provided for the existence of additional INR subtypes sharing ubiquitin immunoreactivity as a common feature. Selective association of these INRs with melanin concentrating hormone and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive neurons of the hypothalamus and the locus coeruleus was described. It was also demonstrated for the first time that biochemically distinct INR subtypes can co-exist within a single nucleus where they engage in non-random spatial interactions. These findings highlight the biochemical diversity and cell type specific expression of these enigmatic intranuclear structures. On the basis of these findings and previous literature a hypothesis is proposed as to the overall functional significance of INRs in the cell nucleus.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS:

El Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) es una condición caracterizada por dificultades en la interacción social, rigidez en el pensamiento y conductas repetitivas. A propósito de un caso se resalta la importancia de un enfoque multidisciplinario y rehabilitador para la estabilización psicopatológica en pacientes con TEA, así como la adherencia al tratamiento farmacológico. Se revisa la literatura científica del tema propuesto.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO:

Se presenta el caso de un hombre con antecedentes de múltiples ingresos psiquiátricos y diagnósticos previos de trastorno bipolar y esquizoafectivo, que ingresa en la Unidad de Psiquiatría de Hospitalización por un episodio de ansiedad grave y verborrea, con ideas de perjuicio. El paciente, con antecedentes de consumo de sustancias, vive en aislamiento social y con nulo apoyo psicosocial. A lo largo de su evolución, se observan rasgos compatibles con TEA, lo que lleva a una reevaluación diagnóstica una vez derivado a la Unidad de Rehabilitación y Convalecencia.

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS:

La exploración inicial revela ansiedad, discurso prolijo y suspicacia. El paciente muestra rigidez cognitiva y comportamental, falta de empatía y dificultades en la socialización. Las pruebas neuropsicológicas (WAIS-IV, ADOS-2, ADIR) confirman un perfil compatible con TEA. También se realizaron pruebas de personalidad (MCMI-IV), que revelaron rasgos compulsivos y evitativos, descartando patología psicótica franca.

DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL Y TRATAMIENTO:

El diagnóstico diferencial incluyó trastorno esquizoafectivo, Trastorno psicótico no especificado y trastorno de personalidad paranoide. Sin embargo, el estudio neuropsicológico concluyó que el cuadro es más congruente con TEA. El tratamiento definitivo concluyó en Paliperidona semestral inyectable junto con apoyo psicosocial y seguimiento en un dispositivo de rehabilitación para optimizar la adherencia al tratamiento.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES:

El caso destaca la importancia de un abordaje multidisciplinario en la estabilización de pacientes con TEA y problemas psiquiátricos asociados. La correcta evaluación neuropsicológica permitió ajustar el diagnóstico y tratamiento, mejorando la adherencia y calidad de vida del paciente. Se subraya la relevancia del manejo integral para mejorar la funcionalidad y el pronóstico a largo plazo en estos pacientes.

description: Il tradizionale rapporto fra fotografia e disegno indirizza lo studio, la rappresentazione e la progettazione degli scenari e dei paesaggi delle città, attraverso una storia dell’immagine urbana e dei suoi metodi di elaborazione. Dalla prospettiva accidentale e dalla camera oscura dei vedutisti italiani del secolo XVIII; passando per i panorami cilindrici del secolo XIX; al collage fotografico delle avanguardie del secolo XX e sino all’utilizzo delle risorse contemporanee basate sulla fotografia digitale, si costruisce una continuità del racconto grafico urbano che è variato: dalla totalità al frammento, dalla prospettiva conica accidentale al collage digitale e dalle immagini statiche bidimensionali alle immagini interattive e semi-immersive tridimensionali. Considerando la potenzialità che è suggerita dall’uso della fotografia digitale per il rilevamento, l’analisi e la progettazione di comparti urbani, si descrive una applicazione sviluppata parzialmente durante un Laboratorio internazionale dell’Università di Bologna e una proposta di metodologia didattica basata sulla ricostruzione vettoriale 3D a partire da panorami sferici a 360°.
description: The traditional relation among photographs and drawing relates the study, the representation and the proyectualidad of settings and landscapes of cities, with a history of the urban image and its methods of elaboration. Since the lineal perspectives and the camera obscura of the vedutistas Italian of the 18th century; passing for the cylindrical panorama of the 19th century; the photographic collage of the vanguards of the 20th century and the contemporary resources of the digital photography, a continuity of the urban graphic speech is built oscillating: of the totality to the fragment, of the lineal conical perspective to the digital collage and of the images two-dimensional to the interactive and semi-immersive 3D image. With the potentiality that suggests the use of the digital photography for the relevamiento, study and proyectación of urban fragments an application developed is described partly in a Workshop International of the Universita di Bologna and a proposal of didactic methodology based on the reconstruction vectorial three-dimensional from spherical panorama 360º.

description: Questo articolo propone una metodologia per la rappresentazione virtuale di Beni Culturali non più esistenti, che integra l’acquisizione dello stato di fatto attraverso le tecniche di rilievo 3D digitale, con l'analisi delle fonti storiche, letterarie, catastali ed iconografiche. L’uso del dato geometrico oggettivo come griglia interpretativa di partenza consente di costruire un metodo scalabile e riapplicabile su diversi manufatti. Il processo è qui sperimentato con la ricostruzione virtuale delle fasi evolutive di una chiesa emblematica per la sua storia tormentata: la Basilica di San Giovanni in Conca a Milano. Attraverso tale ricostruzione viene proposta una rappresentazione realistica e comprensibile delle storia del manufatto, utile sia per l’analisi critica degli studiosi che per la valorizzazione turistica.
description: This article proposes a methodology for the virtual representation of lost Cultural Heritage monuments, based on the integration of a 3D digital survey of the remains, with the analysis of historical, literary, cadastral and iconographic sources. By using the objective geometrical data as initial interpretative grid, a scalable method is generated, suitable to be re-used on different artifacts. This approach has been experimented on the virtual reconstruction of different historical periods of a church characterized by a complex architectural development: the Basilica of San Giovanni in Conca in Milan. Realistic 3D digital representations of this monument allow to better understand the lost building changes, useful both for critical analysis of the experts or for touristic valorization.
The Quest for Accountability in Ontario's Post-Secondary Education Sector: An Assessment of the Transformative Power of the Multi-Year Accountability Agreements (MYA/MYAAS)

Subjects: Public policy implementation

description: This doctoral thesis analyzes the introduction, development, evolution and impacts of the Multi-Year Accountability Agreements, which were introduced to the Ontario post-secondary sector in 2006. The analysis uses an eclectic theoretical framework that builds on the accountability literature, public policy implementation theory, organizational theory, principal-agent theory and the study of instruments in the French tradition. This allows for analyzing the original object of study using multiple lenses. The field work was extensive and consisted of a documentary analysis including the agreements for Ontario’s twenty universities between 2006-07 and 2009-10, as well as thirty-seven semi-structured interviews undertaken in 2012 with representatives from Ontario universities, the Ontario government and other sector organizations. The thesis moves away from a speculative definition of accountability as it clarifies how this concept is interpreted and constructed by the actors involved in its implementation and how its dimensions evolve over time. Accountability is thus conceptualized as a “moving target” – a challenge that is not unique to the post-secondary sector, as these kinds of processes are observed in other areas of the public sector. Therefore, although accountability is often presented as a tool of “good governance” intended to reduce waste and increase trust, is actually operationalized in a highly symbolic fashion and the gaps between the public discourse, the perceptions of actors and the final implementation are demonstrated. This thesis also shows how the choice of instrument facilitates acceptance of a new requirement in the sector and helps balance the government’s need for control with the universities’ need for independence. On one hand, the type of instrument is coherent with government discourse for increased accountability. On the other hand, the instrument, presented as an agreement embodies the negotiated character of the relationship, and conveys the idea to different actors that their needs are being met. However, when the objectives are ambiguous, uncertainty is pervasive, and negotiation is limited, the increase in control reduced and the changes in autonomy are negligible. Despite the promises of the instrument, symbolic and rhetorical compliance may be the sustainable equilibrium between governments and governed.
Eastern Ontario climate: Variability and trends during the 20th century.

Subjects: subject: Physics, Atmospheric Science.

description: The historical climate record is analyzed to determine trends and variability to develop possible scenarios for future climates. The study area is the Prescott-Russell United Counties and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry United Counties of Eastern Ontario. Three data sets were used: the Canadian monthly climate data, the Historical Canadian Database Version 2: Monthly Rehabilitated Precipitation and Homogenized Temperature Data Sets and the Eastern Canada daily dataset. The ten warmest years of the past century occurred at the beginning and at the end of the century. However, the last decade (1990--1998) experienced four of the ten warmest years of the century, including the warmest year on record (1998), which was a full degree warmer than the second warmest (1953). Unlike the warmest year, the ten coldest years occurred in the early part of the century, between 1904--1943. The 1990s, although warm in the mean, had fewer extreme heat waves and fewer cold snaps. There is no clear relation between temperature and precipitation, suggesting that future climates may be wet or dry. From the mid 1960s to the present the growing season has started earlier, and since 1984 has been ending later than the long-term average. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Essi rappresentano il rinnovamento culturale degli inizi del Secolo e testimoniano la predominanza del Razionlismo tra le due guerre e il secondo dopoguerra. Riflettendo su quanto tale patrimonio sia poco conosciuto e come abbia subito o rischi di subire trasformazioni radicali, Giovanna D’Amia e Luca Tamini hanno ipotizzato la costituzione di un osservatorio della Milano Moderna, come ricerca interdisciplinare volta a conoscere, valorizzazione e monitorare le condizioni dei soggetti architettonici selezionati e proporre linee-giuda per interventi futuri. Dallo scorso anno è quindi iniziata la creazione di un archivio di dati e documenti degli edifici ed è oggi possibile tracciare un primo bilancio.

La consapevolezza pubblica che l’attuale geografia dell’offerta presente negli ambiti urbani centrali sia sempre più organizzata spazialmente per addensamenti commerciali - costituiti da un attrattivo mix di servizi commerciali, pubblici esercizi, artigiani di servizio, media e grande distribuzione commerciale moderna - ha caratterizzato la definizione delle politiche di intervento promosse dalla Regione Lombardia e dal Comune di Milano, focalizzate su interventi pubblico-privati di valorizzazione e di gestione integrata delle attività di vendita, nell’interesse comune dello sviluppo sociale, culturale ed economico del contesto urbano.
description: Commerce plays a social protection role and can give quality to a city and a community or subtract from it and attribute meaning and character to places or render them banal in a standardised landscape. Intervention to improve shops and businesses open to the public can support more general urban regeneration processes and may be implemented through public policies.
The Lombardy Region has recently organised a competition for funding of projects which improve commercial activities and public establishments in geographical areas identified as business districts (urban or more regional). The organiser of the project which involves businesses and the local context they are set in is the municipality, which, however, is obliged to apply in partnership with at least that association which represents most of the businesses operating in commerce. The mix of commerce, crafts and innovative service industries is a specific trait of the Milan metropolitan area which is described as a possible area in which to activate urban regeneration processes.
Framing truth and testimony: the interrogation of justice in 'The Thin Blue Line'

description: Just after midnight on 28 November 1976, during a routine traffic stop in Dallas, police officer Robert W Wood was murdered by a man whom police investigators determined to be Randall Dale Adams. Adams was sentenced to death and imprisoned; twelve years later, documentary maker Errol Morris re-examined his story in his film 'The Thin Blue Line' (1988). The discoveries uncovered in this film caused the case to be re-opened: Adams was found innocent and was released the following year. Aside from the remarkable fact that his movie helped save the life of a man wrongly convicted of a crime, Morris' documentary marks a crucial point in the history of documentary film. With its focus on the crime itself and the subsequent investigation, The Thin Blue Line introduced many thematic and stylistic elements that have since become commonplace, not only in other documentary feature films but also in related areas such as television documentary.

description: I centri storici italiani sono il risultato di un processo generativo che ne ha plasmato la forma e che ne ha stratificato i segni ed i linguaggi nelle varie epoche. Favorire la cultura delle tradizioni permette lo sviluppo di un ambiente urbano sostenibile che consente di compattare le città, concentrando i servizi e sfruttare l’habitat naturale per il commercio, i centri storici. La necessità di codici grafici per gestire le azioni di recupero integrato è oramai assunta come necessaria; trova soluzione nell’introduzione di repertori tipologici e quaderni del recupero che derivano da una accurata campagna di rilevamento e documentazione che riguarda le caratteristiche formali, estetiche e funzionali. Nella pratica contemporanea il mercato della sostenibilità e della protezione sismica rischia di prendere il sopravvento sulle scelte sociali e culturali a medio-lungo termine portando la progettazione a considerare solo gli aspetti tecnici e tecnologici.
description: Italian conservation areas are recognized as the result of a generative process that shaped their form and created a complex system of layers and local languages trough centuries. Enhance the role of traditions allows to develop a sustainable built environment, to densify towns, to make strategies for social services and to make an efficient use of conservation areas for commercial purposes. The design coding address integrated actions and the interventions in conservation areas; for this purpose it is necessary to implement a correct workflow: field survey, measured drawings, pattern books, design codes and graphic building regulations. In the contemporary practice the market of sustainability and seismic protection is addressing just technology based solutions forgetting to solve the actual issues of urban design, the social and cultural growth of communities.

Sophisticated digital transmission techniques have to be utilized to overcome digital subscriber line transmission impairments due to the high signal attenuation, i&barbelow;nter-s&barbelow;ymbol i&barbelow;nterference (ISI), c&barbelow;rosst&barbelow;alk noise (XT) from the signals present on adjacent wires, signal reflections, radio-frequency noise, and impulse noise. In current ADSL standard, a multicazrier modulation technique named d&barbelow;iscrete m&barbelow;ultit&barbelow;one (DMT) is used to deal with the impairments caused by heavy ISI and signal reflections. A concatenated channel coding structure is employed to efficiently increase the transmission capability in the presence of strong additive crosstalk noise. This channel coding scheme consists of an inner 4&barbelow;-D&barbelow;imensional T&barbelow;rellis C&barbelow;oded M&barbelow;odulation (4D-TCM) and an outer R&barbelow;eed-S&barbelow;olomon (RS) code separated by an interleaver. In this thesis, we investigated the potential transmission performance improvement by using Turbo code in ADSL DMT systems. To achieve this, we first proposed a turbo coding structure that fits well in the current ADSL DMT system architecture. This structure is very similar to the existing concatenated channel coding structure, except a bandwidth efficient T&barbelow;urbo T&barbelow;rellis C&barbelow;oded M&barbelow;odulation (TTCM) is used instead of the 4D-TCM. To obtain high bandwidth efficiency, only part of the bits are turbo coded and the uncoded bits are protected by a constellation mapping similar to Ungerboeck's set partitioning in TCM. The proposed TTCM was shown to provide extremely good performance when a S&barbelow;ymbol M&barbelow;aximum a&barbelow; p&barbelow;osteriori (SMAP) decoding algorithm is employed. In spite of the good performance of this SMAP algorithm, we proposed to use a simplified TTCM decoding structure to avoid the excessive decoding complexity introduced by the possibly large number of uncoded bits. The proposed turbo coded ADSL DMT system was simulated to evaluate the achievable transmission performance in a stationary noise environment and its performance was compared to that obtained by using the 4D-TCM. Simulation results showed significant performance improvements by using turbo codes.

description: Cryptosystems based on hyperelliptic curves were first presented by N. Koblitz, in 1989 (c.f. [11]). In 1996, a first attempt was made to give an elementary introduction to hyperelliptic curves (c.f. [3]). This introduction aimed at presenting these curves to readers having knowledge of undergraduate ring theory. The tentative was difficult because many definitions and results had to be ad-hoc and unmotivated. The aim of this thesis is to present hyperelliptic curves to readers having completed a first graduate course in commutative algebra. The approach is that of Algebraic Number Theory. All necessary definitions are stated and all crucial results proved and explained. In fact, above the mere presentation of hyperelliptic curves lies the objective of introducing cryptosystems constructed using such curves and of addressing practical issues relevant to the implementation of these cryptosystems. We proceed by describing hyperelliptic function fields and by discussing computational aspects of ideal theory in these algebraic structures. Then we introduce the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve and use our previous developments on ideal theory to draw conclusions on the structure and computational laws of the Jacobian. Finally, we present hyperelliptic Jacobian-based cryptosystems and discuss the practical issues of message encoding and divisor compression.

description: Mineral carbonation is known to be among the most efficient ways to reduce the anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide. Serpentine minerals (Mg3Si2O5(OH)4), have shown great potential for carbonation. A way to improve yield is to thermally activate serpentine minerals prior to the carbonation reaction. This step is of great importance as it controls Mg2+ leaching, one of the carbonation reaction limiting factors. Previous studies have focused on the optimization of the thermal activation by determining the ideal activation temperature. However, to date, none of these studies have considered the impacts of the thermal activation on the efficiency of the aqueous-phase mineral carbonation at ambient temperature and moderate pressure in flue gas conditions. Several residence times and temperatures of activation have been tested to evaluate their impact on serpentine dissolution in conditions similar to mineral carbonation. The mineralogical composition of the treated solids has been studied using X-ray diffraction coupled with a quantification using the Rietveld refinement method. A novel approach in order to quantify the meta-serpentine formed during dehydroxylation is introduced. The most suitable mineral assemblage for carbonation is found to be a mixture of the different amorphous phases identified. This study highlights the importance of the mineralogical assemblage obtained during the dehydroxylation process and its impact on the magnesium availability during dissolution in the carbonation reaction.
