Year: 2012

description: Most of the Italian cities have been in crisis through the last decades, not being able anymore to guarantee the needs and expectations of their inhabitants, due to the lack of fundamental services, mobility, places of aggregation and attraction. The housing growth since Second World War, answering almost only to the needs of speculation and revaluation of landed revenue, produced anonymous and degraded suburbs, contributing to cancel a fundamental part of our communities’ history and culture. The crisis of the cities has clashed with the architectural one. Through sustainable regeneration, identified by the Italian architects as the greatest opportunity for revitalizing the cities and develop the country, we need to sustain interventions based on high architectural quality, besides innovative energetic, environmental and social requalification standards. It is now as never fundamental to extend the city effect from the centre to the far end suburbs, upgrading the public element, integrating the services and proposing new polarities able to interact in a synergic and propaedeutic way with the city centre. Within these settings, involving public agencies and resources with private companies and capitals, the new conversion, development and alienation of the public real estate (valued more than 400 billions €), represent a unique chance to redefine and regenerate the cities, apart from being an extraordinary opportunity to drop the debt and rationalize the local government expenses. To provide powerful infrastructures, aimed cultural policies, sustainable and environmental developments plans, are the biggest challenges to make our cities the most important investment on our future.

A map of human genome variation from population-scale sequencing

Year: 2010

description: The 1000 Genomes Project aims to provide a deep characterization of human genome sequence variation as a foundation for investigating the relationship between genotype and phenotype. Here we present results of the pilot phase of the project, designed to develop and compare different strategies for genome-wide sequencing with high-throughput platforms. We undertook three projects: low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of 179 individuals from four populations; high-coverage sequencing of two mother–father–child trios; and exon-targeted sequencing of 697 individuals from seven populations. We describe the location, allele frequency and local haplotype structure of approximately 15 million single nucleotide polymorphisms, 1 million short insertions and deletions, and 20,000 structural variants, most of which were previously undescribed. We show that, because we have catalogued the vast majority of common variation, over 95% of the currently accessible variants found in any individual are present in this data set. On average, each person is found to carry approximately 250 to 300 loss-of-function variants in annotated genes and 50 to 100 variants previously implicated in inherited disorders. We demonstrate how these results can be used to inform association and functional studies. From the two trios, we directly estimate the rate of de novo germline base substitution mutations to be approximately 10−8 per base pair per generation. We explore the data with regard to signatures of natural selection, and identify a marked reduction of genetic variation in the neighbourhood of genes, due to selection at linked sites. These methods and public data will support the next phase of human genetic research.

description: Local planning for a differential wheeled robot is designed to generate kinodynamic feasible actions that guide the robot to a goal position along the navigation path while avoiding obstacles. Reactive, predictive, and learning-based methods are widely used in local planning. However, few of them can fit static and crowd environments while satisfying kinodynamic constraints simultaneously. To solve this problem, we propose a novel local planning method. The method applies a long-term dynamic window approach to generate an initial trajectory and then optimizes it with graph optimization. The method can plan actions under the robot's kinodynamic constraints in real time while allowing the generated actions to be safer and more jitterless. Experimental results show that the proposed method adapts well to crowd and static environments and outperforms most SOTA approaches.

Balancing between two goods: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and ethical compliancy considerations for privacy-sensitive materials in health sciences archival and historical special collections
Creators: name: Gilliland, Anne T.
name: Wiener, Judith A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Objective: The investigation provides
recommendations for establishing institutional
collection guidelines and policies that protect the
integrity of the historical record, while upholding the
privacy and confidentiality of those who are protected
by Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) or professional ethical standards.
Methods: The authors completed a systematic
historical investigation of the concepts of collection
integrity, privacy, and confidentiality in the formal
and informal legal and professional ethics literature
and applied these standards to create best practices
for institutional policies in these areas.
Results: Through an in-depth examination of the
historical concepts of privacy and confidentiality in
the legal and professional ethics literature, the authors
were able to create recommendations that would
allow institutions to provide access to important, yet
sensitive, materials, while complying with the
standards set by HIPAA regulations and professional
ethical expectations.
Conclusion: With thoughtful planning, it is possible
to balance the integrity of and access to the historical
record of sensitive documents, while supporting the
privacy protections of HIPAA and professional ethical
standards. Although it is theorized that collection
development polices of institutions have changed
due to HIPAA legislation, additional research is
suggested to see how various legal interpretations
have affected the integrity of the historical record in
actuality.

description: In this paper the amorphous/solid to disorder liquid structural phase transitions of an anomalous confined fluid is analyzed using their local fractal dimension. The model is a system of particles interacting through a two length scales potentials confined by two infinite plates. In the bulk, this fluid exhibit water-like anomalies and under confinement forms layers of particles. The particle distributions of them, present different arrangements related to amorphous/solid phases. Here only the contact layer is analyzed through fractal singularity spectrum. At high densities the structural transition its quantify by the order degree to determine the phases affected by the confinement. This mapping shows that the system as the temperature increased, the fractal dimension decreases, which is consistent with the behavior studying in such systems. This result suggests that under thermodynamic perturbations, an anomalous confined liquid, presents different phase transitions achieving be characterized by its fractality.

description: Dental implants are installed in areas previously grafted by different types of biomaterials, however there is no consensus in the literature about their influence on the stability of these implants. Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) is a widely used, sensitive method that offers better resolution when compared to other tests, for the evaluation of this stability. The present study evaluated the influence of different types of biomaterials on the stability of implants installed in previously grafted areas, using the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ), in a systematic literature review, following the PRISMA criteria.
New Perspectives on the “Silo Effect” – Initial Comparisons of Network Structures across Public Health Collaboratives
Creators: name: Bevc, Christine A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Objectives: We explored to what extent "silos" (preferential partnering) persist in interorganizational boundaries despite advances in working across boundaries. We focused on organizational homophily and resulting silo effects within networks that might both facilitate and impede success in public health collaboratives (PHCs). Methods: We analyzed data from 162 PHCs with a series of exponential random graph models to determine the influence of uniform and differential homophily among organizations and to identify the propensity for partnerships with similar organizations. Results: The results demonstrated a low presence (8%) of uniform homophily among networks, whereas a greater number (30%) of PHCs contained varying levels of differential homophily by 1 or more types of organization. We noted that the higher frequency among law enforcement, nonprofits, and public health organizations demonstrated a partner preference with similar organizations. Conclusions: Although we identified only a modest occurrence of partner preference in PHCs, overall success in efforts to work across boundaries might be problematic when public health members (often leaders of PHCs) exhibit the tendency to form silos.

description: The building lease is a new tool available to the government to finance public ‘cold’ infrastructures which allows to spread the investment over several years. Some major projects have recently been funded with this solution which can be used for both new works and for interventions on the existing buildings. The use of the building lease on existing assets (such as renovations or restorations), however, is still very rare, because of the need to «sale and lease back» the building concerned.

description: In this paper, we apply the saddle-point method in conjunction with the theory of the N$\ddot{o}$rlund-Rice integrals to derive a precise asymptotic formula for the generalized Li coefficients established by Omar and Mazhouda. Actually, for any function $F$ in the Selberg class $\mathcal{S}$ and under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we have $$λ_{F}(n)=\frac{d_{F}}{2}n\log n+c_{F}n+O(\sqrt{n}\log n),$$ with $$c_{F}=\frac{d_{F}}{2}(γ-1)+\frac{1}{2}\log(λQ_{F}^{2}),\ \ λ=\prod_{j=1}^{r}λ_{j}^{2λ_{j}},$$ where $γ$ is the Euler constant and the notation is as bellow.

Backreaction of Hawking Radiation on a Gravitationally Collapsing Star I: Black Holes?
Creators: name: Mersini-Houghton, Laura
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Particle creation leading to Hawking radiation is produced by the changing gravitational field of the collapsing star. The two main initial conditions in the far past placed on the quantum field from which particles arise, are the Hartle–Hawking vacuum and the Unruh vacuum. The former leads to a time-symmetric thermal bath of radiation, while the latter to a flux of radiation coming out of the collapsing star. The energy of Hawking radiation in the interior of the collapsing star is negative and equal in magnitude to its value at future infinity. This work investigates the backreaction of Hawking radiation on the interior of a gravitationally collapsing star, in a Hartle–Hawking initial vacuum. It shows that due to the negative energy Hawking radiation in the interior, the collapse of the star stops at a finite radius, before the singularity and the event horizon of a black hole have a chance to form. That is, the star bounces instead of collapsing to a black hole. A trapped surface near the last stage of the star's collapse to its minimum size may still exist temporarily. Its formation depends on the details of collapse. Results for the case of Hawking flux of radiation with the Unruh initial state, will be given in a companion paper II.

description: We investigate the thermodynamics of a crystalline solid applying q-deformed algebra of Fibonacci oscillators through the generalized Fibonacci sequence of two real and independent deformation parameters q1 and q2. We based part of our study on both Einstein and Debye models, exploring primarily (q1,q2)-deformed thermal and electric conductivities as a function of Debye specific heat. The results revealed that q-deformation acts as a factor of disorder or impurity, modifying the characteristics of a crystalline structure. Specially, one may find the possibility of adjusting the Fibonacci oscillators to describe the change of thermal and electrical conductivities of a given element as one inserts impurities. Each parameter can be associated to different types of deformations such as disorders and impurities.

description: A massive black hole (MBH) consumes stars whose orbits evolve into the small phase-space volume of unstable orbits, the "loss-cone", which take them directly into the MBH, or close enough to interact strongly with it. The resulting phenomena: tidal heating and tidal disruption, binary capture and hyper-velocity star ejection, gravitational wave (GW) emission by inspiraling compact remnants, or hydrodynamical interactions with an accretion disk, are of interest as they can produce observable signatures and thereby reveal the existence of the MBH, affect its mass and spin evolution, probe strong gravity, and provide information on stars and gas near the MBH. The continuous loss of stars and the processes that resupply them shape the central stellar distribution. We investigate relativistic stellar dynamics near the loss-cone of a non-spinning MBH in steady-state analytically and by Monte Carlo simulations of the diffusion of the orbital parameters. These take into account Newtonian mass precession due to enclosed stellar mass, in-plane precession due to general relativity, dissipation by GW, uncorrelated two-body relaxation, correlated resonant relaxation (RR) and adiabatic invariance due to secular precession, using a rigorously derived description of correlated post-Newtonian dynamics in the diffusion limit. We argue that general maximal entropy considerations strongly constrain orbital diffusion in steady-state, irrespective of the relaxation mechanism. We identify the exact phase-space separatrix between plunges and inspirals, predict their steady-state rates, and verify they are robust under a wide range of assumptions. We derive the dependence of the rates on the mass of the MBH, show that the contribution of RR is small, and discuss special cases where unquenched RR in restricted volumes of phase-space may affect the steady-state substantially.

description: PURPOSE: To determine the preferences of radiologists among eight different image processing algorithms applied to digital mammograms obtained for screening and diagnostic imaging tasks. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight images representing histologically proved masses or calcifications were obtained by using three clinically available digital mammographic units. Images were processed and printed on film by using manual intensity windowing, histogram-based intensity windowing, mixture model intensity windowing, peripheral equalization, multiscale image contrast amplification (MUSICA), contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization, Trex processing, and unsharp masking. Twelve radiologists compared the processed digital images with screen-film mammograms obtained in the same patient for breast cancer screening and breast lesion diagnosis. RESULTS: For the screening task, screen-film mammograms were preferred to all digital presentations, but the acceptability of images processed with Trex and MUSICA algorithms were not significantly different. All printed digital images were preferred to screen-film radiographs in the diagnosis of masses; mammograms processed with unsharp masking were significantly preferred. For the diagnosis of calcifications, no processed digital mammogram was preferred to screen-film mammograms. CONCLUSION: When digital mammograms were preferred to screen-film mammograms, radiologists selected different digital processing algorithms for each of three mammographic reading tasks and for different lesion types. Soft-copy display will eventually allow radiologists to select among these options more easily.

description: Despite being a layered, easily-exfoliated compound, copper monotelluride (CuTe) features an unusual quasi-one-dimensional charge density wave below $T_{\rm CDW}\approx335$ K. Within a CuTe layer, the electrical resistivity depends sensitively on the direction of the electrical current. Here, we use magnetotransport to probe the metallic state of CuTe with two distinct in-plane current directions. When the current flows along the $a$-axis ($I//a$), the magnetoresistance exhibits a downward curvature as the magnetic field increases. On the other hand, when the current is along the $b$-axis ($I//b$), the magnetoresistance shows the opposite curvature. Our analysis uncovers a violation of Kohler scaling, but only for $I//a$. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are detected at low temperatures. Our results shed light on the nature of the metallic state in CuTe with the development of the charge density wave.

description: Vibrio cholerae is a globally distributed water-borne pathogen that causes severe diarrheal disease and mortality, with current outbreaks as part of the seventh pandemic. Further understanding of the role of environmental factors in potential pathogen distribution and corresponding V. cholerae disease transmission over time and space is urgently needed to target surveillance of cholera and other climate and water-sensitive diseases. We used an ecological niche model (ENM) to identify environmental variables associated with V. cholerae presence in marine environments, to project a global model of V. cholerae distribution in ocean waters under current and future climate scenarios. We generated an ENM using published reports of V. cholerae in seawater and freely available remotely sensed imagery. Models indicated that factors associated with V. cholerae presence included chlorophyll-a, pH, and sea surface temperature (SST), with chlorophyll-a demonstrating the greatest explanatory power from variables selected for model calibration. We identified specific geographic areas for potential V. cholerae distribution. Coastal Bangladesh, where cholera is endemic, was found to be environmentally similar to coastal areas in Latin America. In a conservative climate change scenario, we observed a predicted increase in areas with environmental conditions suitable for V. cholerae. Findings highlight the potential for vulnerability maps to inform cholera surveillance, early warning systems, and disease prevention and control.

description: Testing the aerodynamics of micro- and nano-UAVs without actually flying is highly challenging. To address this issue, we introduce Open Gimbal, a specially designed 3 Degrees of Freedom platform that caters to the unique requirements of micro- and nano-UAVs. This platform allows for unrestricted and free rotational motion, enabling comprehensive experimentation and evaluation of these UAVs. Our approach focuses on simplicity and accessibility. We developed an open-source, 3D printable electro-mechanical design that has minimal size and low complexity. This design facilitates easy replication and customization, making it widely accessible to researchers and developers. Addressing the challenges of sensing flight dynamics at a small scale, we have devised an integrated wireless batteryless sensor subsystem. Our innovative solution eliminates the need for complex wiring and instead uses wireless power transfer for sensor data reception. To validate the effectiveness of open gimbal, we thoroughly evaluate and test its communication link and sensing performance using a typical nano-quadrotor. Through comprehensive testing, we verify the reliability and accuracy of open gimbal in real-world scenarios. These advancements provide valuable tools and insights for researchers and developers working with mUAVs and nUAVs, contributing to the progress of this rapidly evolving field.

description: Global automakers hurried to switch to electric motors at the same time asEurope declared war on oil and gas emissions that contribute to global warming,which sparked a broad debate about the future of oil and how the Gulf countrieswill handle this transformation. The European Commission released last July thatit is going to study a strategy to halt the sale and production of cars that run onfossil fuels by 2035 and motivate the shift towards electric vehicles andtransportation, which will seriously impact the economies of the petroleumcountries, and Arab countries in particular. This is due to the growing threat ofclimate change as well as the sharp increase in oil prices around the world.Based on the most recent data for 2019, the world's transportation industry isresponsible for close to 60% of the yearly oil demand. It is well recognized thatthe transportation industry encompasses not just automobiles, buses, and trucks,but also ships, aircraft, and military hardware.Although experts predict that charging car batteries will needs electricityproduced by power plants using oil derivatives, data from 2019 showed that theamount of oil used to generate electricity does not increase 5% of the estimatedworldwide consumption of oil, with the majority of it being consumed indeveloping nations. In addition to depending on nuclear energy and renewableenergy sources, the technological advancement in the battery business would alsolessen reliance on oil for the production of power. Considering the findings of thestudy that I received, vehicle sales in the UAE and KSA would be able towithstand a flood of EVs of up to 30% by 2030. Saudi Arabia aims for at least 30percent of its cars to be electric powered by 2030, following its pledge to reachnet zero carbon emissions by 2060. Last year, EV manufacturer Lucid announceda long-term plan to build the first international manufacturing plant in SaudiArabia, targeting 150,000 vehicles per year at the King Abdullah Economic City.Meanwhile, the UAE is pushing for 42,000 EVs to be on its streets within thenext decade. To meet the rise in demand for green mobility, the UAE opened itsfirst electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Dubai Industrial City last month,built at a total cost of $408 million. The facility is expected to produce 55,000cars per year.

description: The current research used the contexts of U.S. presidential debates and negotiations to examine whether matching the linguistic style of an opponent in a two-party exchange affects the reactions of third-party observers. Building off communication accommodation theory (CAT), interaction alignment theory (IAT), and processing fluency, we propose that language style matching (LSM) will improve subsequent third-party evaluations because matching an opponent's linguistic style reflects greater perspective taking and will make one's arguments easier to process. In contrast, research on status inferences predicts that LSM will negatively impact third-party evaluations because LSM implies followership. We conduct two studies to test these competing hypotheses. Study 1 analyzed transcripts of U.S. presidential debates between 1976 and 2012 and found that candidates who matched their opponent's linguistic style increased their standing in the polls. Study 2 demonstrated a causal relationship between LSM and third-party observer evaluations using negotiation transcripts.

description: We report magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and muon spin relaxation (muSR) experiments on the triangular antiferromagnet La2Ca2MnO7 which develops a genuine two-dimensional, three-sublattice \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} magnetic order below T_N = 2.8 K. From the susceptibility and specific heat data an estimate of the exchange interaction is derived. A value for the spin-wave gap is obtained from the latter data. The analysis of a previously reported inelastic neutron scattering study yields values for the exchange and spin-wave gap compatible with the results obtained from macroscopic measurements. An appreciable entropy is still missing at 10 K that may be ascribed to intense short-range correlations. The critical paramagnetic fluctuations extend far above T_N, and can be partly understood in terms of two-dimensional spin-wave excitations. While no spontaneous muSR field is observed below T_N, persistent spin dynamics is found. Short-range correlations are detected in this temperature range. Their relation to a possible molecular spin substructure and the observed exotic spin fluctuations is discussed.

description: The first intervention of Social House at the national level co-financed by the Funds Integrated System (FIS) and the first one that has actually implemented the housing plan launched by the government in 2009 was born in Parma. The project was conceived for the realization of total 2477 accommodation, to be implemented in two stages, in relation to the availability of the areas. The end that has moved the initiative was to promote housing models based on economic and social needs of the community through the redevelopment Urban and Architectural.

New mediterranean elements in contemporary housing. The case of Barcelona
Creators: name: Bagnato, Vincenzo
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2012

description: In the face of increasing and differentiating the low-cost housing demand and the trend of establishing new paradigms in the contemporary housing design, the architectural investigation has replaced into its disciplinary statement the topic of housing as central question in research and design experimentation. The city of Barcelona has codified in the last years innovative modalities of public management in social housing, offering interesting points of reflection on the idea of housing and of Mediterranean quality in urban, architectural and constructive terms. The paper proposes a key to the reading on the recent experiences of social housing in Barcelona illustrating the different forms through which architecture interprets the relationship between housing and public space, between innovation and constructive tradition.

description: What type of knowledge do we use when judging the healthiness of different foods? To answer this question, we study how different food names tend to co-occur with other words in large-scale language data. We use this information to predict people’s judgments of food healthiness and to uncover words and concepts that are more associated with healthy and unhealthy foods.

description: A Chern insulator (quantum anomalous Hall insulator) phase is demonstrated to exist in a typical semi-Dirac system, the TiO2/VO2 heterostructure. By combining first-principles calculations with Wannier-based tight-binding model, we calculate the Berry curvature distribution, finding a Chern number of -2 for the valence bands, and demonstrate the existence of gapless chiral edge states, ensuring quantization of the Hall conductivity to 2e^2/h. A new semi-Dirac model, where each semi-Dirac cone is formed by merging three conventional Dirac points, is proposed to reveal how the nontrivial topology with finite Chern number is compatible with a semi-Dirac electronic spectrum.

description: Ultrathin FeSe films grown on SrTiO$_{3}$ substrates are a recent milestone in atomic material engineering due to their important role in understanding unconventional superconductivity in Fe-based materials. Using femtosecond time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, we study phonon frequencies in ultrathin FeSe/SrTiO$_{3}$ films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. After optical excitation, we observe periodic modulations of the photoelectron spectrum as a function of pump-probe delay for 1 unit cell, 3 unit cell, and 60 unit cell thick FeSe films. The frequencies of the coherent intensity oscillations increase from 5.00(2) to 5.25(2) THz with increasing film thickness. By comparing with previous works, we attribute this mode to the Se A$_\textrm{1g}$ phonon. The dominant mechanism for the phonon softening in 1 unit cell thick FeSe films is a substrate-induced lattice strain. Our results demonstrate an abrupt phonon renormalization due to a lattice mismatch between the ultrathin film and the substrate.

Global nutrition transition and the pandemic of obesity in developing countries

description: Decades ago, discussion of an impending global pandemic of obesity was thought of as heresy. But in the 1970s, diets began to shift towards increased reliance upon processed foods, increased away-from-home food intake, and increased use of edible oils and sugar-sweetened beverages. Reductions in physical activity and increases in sedentary behavior began to be seen as well. The negative effects of these changes began to be recognized in the early 1990s, primarily in low- and middle-income populations, but they did not become clearly acknowledged until diabetes, hypertension, and obesity began to dominate the globe. Now, rapid increases in the rates of obesity and overweight are widely documented, from urban and rural areas in the poorest countries of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to populations in countries with higher income levels. Concurrent rapid shifts in diet and activity are well documented as well. An array of large-scale programmatic and policy measures are being explored in a few countries; however, few countries are engaged in serious efforts to prevent the serious dietary challenges being faced.

description: The boost in social housing interventions is the answer to the growing demand for new housing caused by higher social vulnerability in the wake of the economic and financial crisis in Europe. It meets the goal of inclusive growth, as defined in Europe 2020’s growth strategy. This paper deals with this issue starting from an analysis of the social events that are worsening the housing problem in Europe, and which are exasperated by the anti-crisis measures implemented by the Governments of the most financially stricken countries. This paper then highlights the key role played by social managers as the element that guarantees intervention sustainability. The case-study of the Fondazione Housing Sociale demonstrates how the social manager is a key element in social housing interventions.
