description: Fresh submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is described as fresh groundwater flux from land to ocean through submarine ocean boundaries. It has been reported to bring land-based nutrients, heavy metals, or potentially harmfulbacteria to the coastal area. Solutes delivered by SGD have been reported to cause eutrophication, change in coastal bacterial, benthic, and fish communities, as well as the deterioration of coastal ecosystems such as coral reef and mangroves. SGD rates tend to vary and fluctuate due to tidal cycle, hydraulic head, and seasonal variability, particularly in regions with high precipitation and groundwater recharge. Tropical regions, such as Southeast Asia, have been underrepresented in SGD studies. These regions are generally characterized by high aquifer permeability, fast weathering, nutrient-rich rocks, and active natural ecosystems. Thus, active SGD is expected here. Southeast Asia also has one of the mostaltered coastal land use worldwide, which subsequently makes SGD potentially act as an essential land-ocean delivery pathway of contaminant derived from human activities. Indonesia was chosen as a study site due to its long coastline and favorable hydrogeological conditions for SGD as mentioned above.

description: Cross-disciplinary approaches are needed to make major leaps forward on large societal issues. But the application of such an approach often proves challenging. In this panel, we propose to discuss the use of trans-disciplinary approaches to address global changes, including how to combine the needs and knowledge to respond effectively to the fast-changing climate. Participants will propose through short presentations a given perspective from within their respective discipline(s) (environment and natural sciences, health, social sciences and humanities) on the panel’s central question: “What are the major challenges of cross-disciplinary data and service integration technically, scientifically and socially to face global changes?”. The discussion will then be centered around lessons learned and experiences, as well as technical and conceptual solutions already explored for integrating diverse data types from a variety of sources within inter-, multi- or trans-disciplinary projects. In addition, bearing in mind that global changes concern a large variety of stakeholders, acting within rather than among systems and procedures, the specific added-value of integrating citizen science techniques and other participatory methodologies from social sciences and humanities into these cross-cutting projects will also be explored. This panel aims to identify the most valuable theoretical and practical collaboration perspectives among disciplines as an efficient way for the analysis and the comprehension of global changes. Audience participation in the discussions will be actively encouraged, ideally using one of the techniques discussed as a demonstration.

Critical fermion density for restoring spontaneously broken symmetry

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: We show how the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breakdown is affected by the presence of a sea of fermions in the system. When its density exceeds a critical value, the broken symmetry can be restored. We calculate the critical value and discuss the consequences for three different physical systems: First, for the standard model of particle physics, where the spontaneous symmetry breakdown leads nonzero masses of intermediate gauge bosons and fermions. The symmetry restoration will greatly enhance various processes with dramatic consequences for the early universe. Second, for the Gell-Mann--Lèvy $σ$-model of nuclear physics, where the symmetry breakdown gives rise to the nucleon and meson masses. The symmetry restoration may have important consequences for formation or collapse of stellar cores. Third, for the superconductive phase of condensed-matter, where the BCS condensate at low-temperature may be destroyed by a too large electron density.

description: Recently, the development of an independent strand of study, known as the ‘archaeology of dung,’ has resulted in numerous cross-geographical publications confirming the use of animal dung in archaeological deposits as the main fuel source and several other purposes. Most of these studies focus on the analysis of the microscopic evidence attributable to dung, combining multi-proxy approaches to investigate the biological components and potential markers of herbivore dung, as well identifying archaeobotanical indications from dung pellets and related sediments. Less numerous are studies concerning the identification of dung as a tempering agent in ceramic material. In this paper, we aim to replicate, observe, and discuss the recipe utilised by the ancient potters of Sai Island (northern Sudan) in the New Kingdom period (Late Bronze Age, c. 1500-1070 BCE) using an experimental approach. We aim to discuss the possible adoption of organic inclusions, and especially animal dung, as tempering agents to produce some of the locally made Nubian and Egyptian style ceramics.
An experimental walk in patterns, partitions, and words
Creators: name: Yang, Mingjia

Year: 2020

description: Experimental mathematics, broadly speaking, is the philosophy that computers are a valuable tool that should be used extensively in mathematical research. This thesis explores topics related to partitions, patterns and words, incorporating the spirit of experimental math. There are four main projects in this thesis, and we will take a walk from the least experimental to the most experimental. In the first project, we extend Shar and Zeilberger's work on generating functions enumerating 123-avoiding words (with r-occurrences of each letter) to words (with r-occurrences of each letter) having exactly one 123 pattern. After a system of equations has been established (by human means), we use computer to find the defining algebraic equation for generating functions for words with r occurrences of each letter and with exactly one 123 pattern, and derive relevant recurrences. Next, we move on to explore consecutive pattern avoidance, in particular, words that avoid the increasing consecutive pattern 12...r for any r >= 2. We use computer to conjecture the corresponding generating function and then tweak the Goulden--Jackson cluster method to prove the result by human means. We also treat the more general case of counting words with a specified number of the pattern of interest.After these, we dive into the world of partitions. More precisely, we introduce the combinatorial object which we call "relaxed partitions''. A relaxed partition of a positive integer n is a finite sequence of positive integers λ_1, λ_2, ..., λ_k (λ_i-λ_{i+1}>=r) whose sum is equal to n, where r is allowed to be negative (note that if we only allow r to be non-negative, then we get traditional partitions). We use computer to conjecture and prove the formula for the number of r-partitions (r<0) with fixed first part and number of parts. We also use computer to explore corresponding generating functions. Last but not least, we go back to traditional partitions and design an efficient algorithm to count restricted partitions. We start out with a more basic algorithm and then generalize it to account for more complicated partitions, like in the Kanade-Russell conjectures. We then make use of Frank Garvan's qseries Maple package and Amarel cluster computing to search for new partition identities. Many new identities have been discovered and (at least) one of them generalizes to an infinite family.

description: Over the past few years the understanding of the microscopic theory of black hole entropy has made important conceptual progress by recognizing that the degeneracies are encoded in partition functions which are determined by higher rank automorphic representations, in particular in the context of Siegel modular forms of genus two. In this brief review some of the elements of this framework are highlighted. One of the surprising aspects is that the Siegel forms that have appeared in the entropic framework are geometric in origin, arising from weight two cusp forms, hence from elliptic curves.

description: Existing memory reclamation policies on mobile devices may be no longer valid because they have negative effects on the response time of running applications. In this paper, we propose SWAM, a new integrated memory management technique that complements the shortcomings of both the swapping and killing mechanism in mobile devices and improves the application responsiveness. SWAM consists of (1) Adaptive Swap that performs swapping adaptively into memory or storage device while managing the swap space dynamically, (2) OOM Cleaner that reclaims shared object pages in the swap space to secure available memory and storage space, and (3) EOOM Killer that terminates processes in the worst case while prioritizing the lowest initialization cost applications as victim processes first. Experimental results demonstrate that SWAM significantly reduces the number of applications killed by OOMK (6.5x lower), and improves application launch time (36% faster) and response time (41% faster), compared to the conventional schemes.

Very long baseline interferometry and observations of gravitational lenses using intensity fluctuations: an analysis based on intensity autocorrelation
Creators: name: Borra, Ermanno F.

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A novel interferometric technique that uses the spectrum of the current fluctuations of a quadratic detector, a type of detector commonly used in Astronomy, has recently been introduced. It has major advantages with respect to classical interferometry. It can be used to observe gravitational lenses that cannot be detected with standard techniques. It can be used to carry out very long baseline interferometry. Although the original theoretical analysis, that uses wave interaction effects, is rigorous, it is not easy to understand. The present article therefore carries out a simpler analysis, using the autocorrelation of intensity fluctuations, which is easier to understand. It is based on published experiments that were carried out to validate the original theory. The autocorrelation analysis also validates simple numerical techniques, based on the autocorrelation, to model the angular intensity distribution of a source. The autocorrelation technique also allows a much simpler detection of the signal. In practice, the gravitational lens applications are the ones that can readily be done with presently available telescopes. We describe a practical example that shows that presently available VLBI radio-astronomical data can be used to observe microlensisng and millilensing in macrolensed Quasars. They may give information on the dark matter substructures in the lensing galaxies.

description: We present the complete phase diagram for one-dimensional binary mixtures of bosonic ultracold atomic gases in a harmonic trap. We obtain exact results with direct numerical diagonalization for small number of atoms, which permits us to quantify quantum many-body correlations. The quantum Monte Carlo method is used to calculate energies and density profiles for larger system sizes. We study the system properties for a wide range of interaction parameters. For the extreme values of these parameters, different correlation limits can be identified, where the correlations are either weak or strong. We investigate in detail how the correlation evolve between the limits. For balanced mixtures in the number of atoms in each species, the transition between the different limits involves sophisticated changes in the one- and two-body correlations. Particularly, we quantify the entanglement between the two components by means of the von Neumann entropy. We show that the limits equally exist when the number of atoms is increased, for balanced mixtures. Also, the changes in the correlations along the transitions among these limits are qualitatively similar. We also show that, for imbalanced mixtures, the same limits with similar transitions exist. Finally, for strongly imbalanced systems, only two limits survive, i.e., a miscible limit and a phase-separated one, resembling those expected with a mean-field approach.

description: Receptor‐derived peptides have played an important role in elucidating chemokine‐receptor interactions. For the inflammatory chemokine CXC‐class chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), a site II‐mimetic peptide has been derived from parts of extracellular loops 2 and 3 and adjacent transmembrane helices of its receptor CXC‐class chemokine receptor 1 (Helmer et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 25657). The peptide sequence with a C‐terminal glutamine did not bind to CXCL8, whereas one with a C‐terminal glutamate did but with low micromolar affinity. We sought to improve the affinity and protease stability of the latter peptide through cyclization while also cyclizing the former for control purposes. To identify a cyclization strategy that permits a receptor‐like interaction, we conducted a molecular dynamics simulation of CXCL8 in complex with full‐length CXC‐class chemokine receptor 1. We introduced a linker to provide an appropriate spacing between the termini and used an on‐resin side‐chain‐to‐tail cyclization strategy. Upon chemokine binding, the fluorescence intensity of the tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA)‐labeled cyclic peptides increased whereas the fluorescence anisotropy decreased. Additional molecular dynamics simulations indicated that the fluorophore interacts with the peptide macrocycle so that chemokine binding leads to its displacement and observed changes in fluorescence. Macrocyclization of both 18‐amino acid‐long peptides led to the same low micromolar affinity for CXCL8. Likewise, both TAMRA‐labeled linear peptides interacted with CXCL8 with similar affinities. Interestingly, the linear TAMRA‐labeled peptides were more resistant to tryptic digestion than the unlabeled counterparts, whereas the cyclized peptides were not degraded at all. We conclude that the TAMRA fluorophore tends to interact with peptides altering their protease stability and behavior in fluorescence‐based assays.

description: The first conditioning of IBN from second generation sugars was successfully conducted in GBE’s Pilot Plant facility at Pomacle-Bazancourt, using Clariant’s Wheat Straw Hydrolysate (WSH) as feedstock. During the first year of the project, several WSH samples were tested with GBE’s IBN producing strain, while the development of new strains adapted to WSH was ongoing. Scale up attempts started in December 2017. GBE’s Pilot Plant facility for IBN production includes a 500 liters fermentation unit, and a purification unit allowing IBN purification, condensation and conditioning. Two different WSH batches were tested at the laboratory scale, before scale up in the Pilot Plant. Growth at the laboratory and Pilot scale were very similar, whereas productivity was lower in the Pilot. A first sample of IBN (kilogram scale) was produced from WSH, and delivered to INEOS for application tests. Because of the public (PU) nature of this deliverable, details such as WSH composition, strain genotype and process parameters will not be disclosed in this document.

Dal punto di vista che qui più interessa, in ogni caso, la pandemia in corso e le dinamiche da essa innescate minacciano anche le fondamenta del progetto di unificazione europea che, dopo essere stato per secoli al centro di un vivace dibattito politico-ideale, aveva trovato a metà Novecento l’occasione per concretizzarsi sul piano storico e istituzionale.

description: Fugitive dust emissions play an important role in urban air quality. Much research on fugitive dust’s effects has focused on human health and societal impacts, with limited work investigating effects on other species. The endangered Apodemia mormo langei butterfly is endemic to the Antioch Dunes, a small area on the south bank of the San Joaquin River in northern California, largely protected as a National Wildlife Refuge. Between the two protected portions of the dunes is a gypsum processing facility. Deposition of gypsum dust may adversely affect endangered insects, especially in their vulnerable larval life stage. Persistent westerly winds blow from the western section of the refuge, across the industrial facility, to the eastern protected dune area. Ambient particulate matter (PM) was collected at 30 sites in both sections of the refuge using passive samplers deployed at times matching the butterfly life cycle. The prevailing wind maintained upwind-downwind sampling orientation throughout the study. PM samples were analyzed for total mass, and elemental composition via X-ray fluorescence. Downwind concentrations of gypsum-related elements were between 4 (strontium) and 12 (sulfur) times higher than upwind loadings, suggesting deposition of PM from the gypsum facility. The effect of fugitive emissions was strongest at the industrial facility’s fenceline, closest to a conveyor belt that loads gypsum. Combined with documented reductions in insect larval longevity when exposed to gypsum dust, the results suggest that gypsum deposition may be affecting the ecosystem and endangered species in the downwind unit of the Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge. Implications: Fugitive dust has impacts not only on humans, but on other organisms. The Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge (ADNWR) in California, set aside to protect the endangered Apodemia mormo langei butterfly, consists of two land units separated by a gypsum processing facility in between them. In this study, we demonstrate fugitive gypsum dust deposition on the downwind unit of the ADNWR, which may impact the endangered butterfly and its ecosystem.

description: Deliverable 7.1 documents Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for fossil isobutene. The report contains the results of literature research, which is conducted to specify the examined fossil isobutene routes. Based on literature research and expert consultation three routes are chosen for further investigation: MTBE decomposition, TBA decomposition and isobutene dehydrogenation. After defining the system boundaries for these processes, the Life Cycle Inventory is compiled based on LCA databases such as thinkstep GaBi 8 Professional database, ecoinvent 3.0 database, literature data as well as expert consultation. The fossil isobutene routes are implemented in the thinkstep GaBi 8 software and the LCA results are derived using CML 2001 impact categorization method. The LCA results for fossil isobutene are not definite. From a greenhouse gas perspective, MTBE decomposition or isobutene dehydrogenation are the preferable process routes. From a primary energy demand perspective TBA dehydration would be the preferable process routes. As greenhouse gas emissions do not fully correspond with primary energy demand for all process options, a decision for one or another process route requires specific weighing. The result for fossil isobutene production presented in this deliverable is the basis for comparison with LCA results for 1 st generation sugar isobutene LCA and 2nd generation sugar isobutene LCA in the upcoming Deliverable reports of the OPTISOCHEM project.

description: We briefly review the calculations of quantum corrections related with the exact NSVZ $β$-function in ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric theories, paying especial attention to the scheme dependence of the results. It is explained, how the NSVZ relation is obtained for the renormalization group functions defined in terms of the bare coupling constant if a theory is regularized by higher derivatives. Also we describe, how to construct a special renormalization prescription which gives the NSVZ relation for the renormalization group functions defined in terms of the renormalized coupling constant exactly in all orders for Abelian supersymmetric theories, regularized by higher derivatives. The scheme dependence of the NSVZ $β$-function (for the renormalization group functions defined in terms of the renormalized coupling constant) is discussed in the non-Abelian case. It is shown that in this case the NSVZ $β$-function leads to a certain scheme-independent equality.

description: The Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) network has collected airborne particulate matter (PM) samples at locations throughout the United States since 1988 and provided chemical speciation measurements on the samples using several techniques including X-ray fluorescence (XRF). New XRF instruments for measuring PM elemental content of IMPROVE samples were introduced in 2011. To evaluate the performance of these new instruments relative to the old instruments, archived sample from three IMPROVE monitoring sites were retrieved and analyzed on the new instruments. The agreement between the two instruments varied by element. Comparisons of the results were very good (slopes within 10% of unity) for most elements regularly measured well above the detection limits (sulfur, chlorine, potassium, titanium, vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, lead). Different particle compositions at the three sites highlighted different measurement interferences. High sea salt concentrations at the coastal site emphasized corrections applied in the old systems to light elements – sodium and magnesium – and resulted in poor agreement for these elements. Comparisons of the XRF measurements with collocated sulfate measurements by ion chromatography suggest that sulfur measurements from the new instruments are more precise but slight underestimates. Comparing elemental ratios to expected ratios for soil-derived PM demonstrate the new instruments are better at resolving the aluminum and silicon peaks. Implications: The presented work represents a comprehensive analysis of the method change enacted within the Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) air monitoring network. This work describes the implications of the last change in elemental quantification methodology. The most important point for data users performing longitudinal analyses is that light elements (e.g., sodium – sulfur) were affected; the old instrumentation overestimated these elements while the current measurements are slightly underestimated. The authors recommend these results to be taken into consideration when interpreting sea salt and crustal sources of atmospheric dust.
Party Formation at Supranational Level: the Case of Radical Left Parties
Creators: name: Sozzi, Fabio
Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2020

description: Il processo di integrazione europea, alterando le "strutture di opportunità politiche", ha influenzato la capacità dei partiti di raggiungere i loro obiettivi fondamentali imponendo loro la necessità di adattarsi a tali cambiamenti in modo da ridurre al minimo gli effetti potenzialmente negativi del processo di integrazione europea. Lo scopo di questa ricerca è duplice. Da un lato, presentiamo un quadro teorico utile per comprendere come e in che misura i partiti politici nazionali hanno innovato le loro organizzazioni di fronte alla crescente integrazione europea e, in particolare, come e in che misura essi hanno sviluppato luoghi di cooperazione a livello europeo. Dall'altro lato, l’attenzione verrà rivolta, empiricamente, alla cooperazione partitica a livello europeo di una tradizionale famiglia di partiti euroscettici che, fino ad ora, ha ricevuto scarsa attenzione da parte della letteratura: la sinistra radicale. Parole chiave: Sinistra radicale; innovazione partitica; partiti a livello europeo; nascita dei partiti; europeizzazione The European integration process, altering the “political opportunity structures”, has influenced the ability of parties to achieve their primary goals and, in turn, it is reasonable to expect party organizations to adapt to such changes so as to minimize potentially negative effects of European integration and exploit new opportunities that external shift might offer. The aim of this research is twofold. On one side, we present a framework to appreciate how and in what extent national political parties have innovated their organizations in the face of growing European integration and, in particular, how and in what extent national parties have developed loci of cooperation at European level. On the other side, we try to investigate the building and the progressive cooperation at European level of a traditional Eurosceptic party family that, until now, has received little attention by academic researches: the radical left. Keywords: Radical left parties; party innovation; parties at European level; party formation; Europeanization.

description: Beim mathematischen Modellieren treten bereits beim Verstehen der Aufgabensituation Schwierigkeiten auf (Schukajlow, 2011). Dies kann zu weiteren Problemen im Lösungsprozess und zu fehlerhaften Lösungen führen (Schukajlow, 2011). Es wurde bereits gezeigt, dass verschiedene Strategien beim Bearbeiten von Modellierungsaufgaben diesen Schwierigkeiten entgegenwirken können (Schukajlow, 2011). Um den Modellierungsprozess von Lernenden zu verbessern, sollten weitere Verstehensstrategien untersucht werden. In der Deutschdidaktik konnte bereits festgestellt werden, dass das Nacherzählen den Verstehensprozess unterstützen kann (Abraham, 2000).

description: Fugitive dust emissions play an important role in urban air quality. Much research on fugitive dust’s effects has focused on human health and societal impacts, with limited work investigating effects on other species. The endangered Apodemia mormo langei butterfly is endemic to the Antioch Dunes, a small area on the south bank of the San Joaquin River in northern California, largely protected as a National Wildlife Refuge. Between the two protected portions of the dunes is a gypsum processing facility. Deposition of gypsum dust may adversely affect endangered insects, especially in their vulnerable larval life stage. Persistent westerly winds blow from the western section of the refuge, across the industrial facility, to the eastern protected dune area. Ambient particulate matter (PM) was collected at 30 sites in both sections of the refuge using passive samplers deployed at times matching the butterfly life cycle. The prevailing wind maintained upwind-downwind sampling orientation throughout the study. PM samples were analyzed for total mass, and elemental composition via X-ray fluorescence. Downwind concentrations of gypsum-related elements were between 4 (strontium) and 12 (sulfur) times higher than upwind loadings, suggesting deposition of PM from the gypsum facility. The effect of fugitive emissions was strongest at the industrial facility’s fenceline, closest to a conveyor belt that loads gypsum. Combined with documented reductions in insect larval longevity when exposed to gypsum dust, the results suggest that gypsum deposition may be affecting the ecosystem and endangered species in the downwind unit of the Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge.

description: Urban underground infrastructures are valuable assets and thus demanding effective planning, construction and maintenance. While enabling greater visibility and reliability into the processes and subsystems of underground construction, applications of BIM, machine learning and computer vision in underground construction represent different sets of opportunities and challenges from their use in above-ground construction. This body of work presents on a study of BIM for underground stations driven by desire for efficiency and interoperability to improve decision making for construction lifecycle. The findings qualitatively demonstrate the benefits and challenges of BIM in facilitating the digital transition of tunnelling and underground construction.
Storia della sicurezza in Europa / Storia europea della sicurezza

description: L’ambito della storia della sicurezza è cresciuto rapidamente negli anni recenti – nonostante appaia ancora quello meno indagato all’interno dell’ampio contesto interdisciplinare degli studi sulla sicurezza. L’articolo cerca di disegnare un schizzo dello stato dell’arte, sottolineando tre aspetti: in primo luogo, una (tuttora assente) storia della sicurezza di età rinascimentale – la storia dell’iniziale concetto di sicurezza collettiva transterritoriale sviluppato nell’ambito del sistema degli Stati italiani del Quattrocento; in secondo luogo, lo sviluppo della sicurezza come principio guida dell’amministrazione interna allo Stato soprattutto nell’Europa continentale nei secoli XVII e XVIII; in terzo luogo, le sfide di una storia della sicurezza ambientale come storia delle relazioni transterritoriali e transnazionali tra economie politiche, natura e volontà di fornire sicurezza (a esseri umani, Stati, imperi). Parole chiave: Storia della sicurezza, Botero, Lorenzo de’ Medici, Claudio Tolomei, Sicurezza ambientale, Relazioni internazionali The field of the History of Security has quickly grown in recent years - though it still seems the least researched within the wider transdisciplinary context of security studies. The article tries to draw a sketch of the state of art and is highlighting three aspects, first a (still lacking) comprehensive Renaissance history of security - the history of the early concept of transterritorial collective security as developed within the quattrocento Italian State system -, second the development of security as a guiding principle of internal state administration mostly in continental Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, and third, into the challenges of a history of environmental security as a history of transterritorial and transnational relationships between political economies, nature and the want to provide security (for human beings, states, empires).

description: Laser surface texturing provides several benefits such as improved tribological behavior of the surface, reduced friction, increased anti-adhesive properties and improved wettability and lubrication applications. However, surface topography or surface texture resulting from laser processing and the relation between laser texturing parameters and surface texture parameters are not well understood. In the thesis paper, besides the statistical tool such as linear regression, Machine learning methods such as Artificial Neural Networks are utilized to generate a predictive modelling capability for the relationships between laser surface processing parameters and the resultant texture parameters on the scale-limited surfaces surveyed.
