description: Aerogels are solid materials with a porous structure filled with air and are among the best thermal insulation materials. During ambient pressure drying (APD), silica gels endure significant drying shrinkage due to the capillary pressure generated by pore liquid evaporation. Silylated gels can recover the drying shrinkage through a phenomenon called the spring-back effect (SBE). However, the underlying structural mechanisms and the evolution of the amount of liquid and gaseous phases in the pores of a gel undergoing APD remain unexplored. Here, we use in operando X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) with quantitative imaging to monitor the progression of the liquid, gaseous, and solid phases of silica gels during APD, i.e., during the drying shrinkage and the subsequent SBE. Silica gels modified by trimethylchlorosilane shrank to 17% of their original volume and sprung back to 29% of their original volume. We found that a mixture of gaseous and liquid phases is already present in gels before the maximum shrinkage, which challenges the common assumption that gas penetrates the pores in parallel to the SBE. The emergence of the SBE was correlated to an equal volume fraction of solid, liquid, and gas in the gels. The evaporation rate decreased near and after the maximum shrinkage, suggesting a shift from convection-limited to diffusion-limited transport of hexane vapor. Our results show that fluid movements and volume change can be monitored in operando by μCT imaging during ambient pressure drying and spring-back of an aerogel, showing the combined effects of evaporation of fluid and diffusion of gas within and out of the aerogel.

description: This paper aims to study the determinants of corruption by examining specificities relating to the region and the level of economic development. Starting from a cross-sectional study on 130 countries, we rely on the Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) approach to address the issue of model uncertainty and identify the key determinants of corruption according to the level of development and the region. Our results highlight the need for specific remedies in the fight against corruption given the regional, sociocultural, economic and institutional specificities. Indeed, the key determinants of corruption in sub-Saharan Africa are not the most relevant in the East Asia and Pacific region. Similarly, the most important determinants in developed countries are not the most worrying in developing countries.

description: In questo testo vengono analizzati alcuni aspetti del modo in cui Achille Mbembe svolge la propria complessa indagine su quelle che chiama «politiche dell’inimicizia» (Mbembe, 2015). Tali politiche sono poste al centro di un’analisi tesa fra presente e modernità. Osservando l’esperienza coloniale, si sottolinea il complesso aspetto delle moderne democrazie, amichevole ma anche violento. Mbembe si inoltra in quelle esperienze nelle quali l’umanità ha prodotto e subìto fenomeni come colonialismo, imperialismo e sfruttamento. Nella seguente trattazione vengono presi in esame alcuni lavori di Mbembe in cui si ipotizza che la nostra epoca sia costitutivamente segnata dalla diffusione di dispositivi securitari e di sorveglianza, di separazione e discriminazione. Dall’esperienza coloniale di demarcazione fra colonizzati e colonizzatori è stato mutuato il dispositivo confinario diffuso a livello globale.

Social Capital and Geriatric Depression during Ageing: could this association be mediated by Perceived Social Support and Perceived Social Cohesion among Neighbors?
Creators: name: Ricciardi, Elisabetta
Publisher: name: Iconocrazia

Subjects: Social capital; geriatric depression; ageing; social cohesion; neighborhood

description: The main aim of the present study is to examine the link between social capital and the geriatric depression symptoms during ageing, in addition to analysis of the role of the perceived social support and social cohesion in the aforementioned relationship. It was hypothesized that older adults who can have access to a larger social capital than others experience less geriatric depression symptoms. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that the effect of social capital on the symptoms of geriatric depression is due to perceived social support and social cohesion among neighbors. A sample of 588 older adults (50-90 years old), filled out self-reported measures. Geriatric depression symptoms were measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The Functional Social Support (FSSQ) and the Social Cohesion and Trust Scale were used to assess perceived social support and perceived social cohesion, respectively. These results showed that the social capital may be a protective factor against geriatric depression as long as the scores of perceived social support. Moreover, these findings may provide relevant insights for developing age-friendly urban communities improving social contact opportunities and social policies to promote well-being during ageing.

description: Al centro di questo saggio vi è il tema della relazione tra essere umano e luogo. Sulla base di un’originale prospettiva filosofica ed etico-politica, che tiene conto di alcune importanti ricerche di Sennett, Heidegger, Casey, Spinoza, Foucault, viene esaminato il progetto delle smart-cities e il mutamento del rapporto tra le città e coloro che le abitano e attraversano. Proprio sulla scorta di queste riflessioni, è riconosciuta la necessità di confrontarsi non solo con gli studi che si occupano del luogo come oggetto della cura, ma anche di quelli che si interrogano sulle modalità in cui il luogo stesso può influenzare la vita, la politica e la società. L’assunto che guida l’intero contributo è infatti il seguente: non si possono dare “città-intelligenti”, senza una “partecipazione-intelligente” e senza la presa in carico dei bisogni dei “cittadini intelligenti”. At the centre of this essay is the theme of the relationship between human being and place. On the basis of an original philosophical and ethical-political perspective, which takes into account some important research by Sennett, Heidegger, Casey, Spinoza and Foucault, the smart-cities project and the changing relationship between cities and those who inhabit and pass through them are examined. On the basis of these reflections, it is recognised that there is a need to confront not only those studies that deal with place as an object of care, but also those that question the ways in which place itself can influence life, politics and society. In fact, the assumption guiding the entire contribution is the following: there can be no 'smart-cities' without 'smart-participation' and without addressing the needs of 'smart citizens'.

description: We study the uniqueness of higher-spin algebras which are at the core of higher-spin theories in AdS and of CFTs with exact higher-spin symmetry, i.e. conserved tensors of rank greater than two. The Jacobi identity for the gauge algebra is the simplest consistency test that appears at the quartic order for a gauge theory. Similarly, the algebra of charges in a CFT must also obey the Jacobi identity. These algebras are essentially the same. Solving the Jacobi identity under some simplifying assumptions spelled out, we obtain that the Eastwood-Vasiliev algebra is the unique solution for d=4 and d>6. In 5d there is a one-parameter family of algebras that was known before. In particular, we show that the introduction of a single higher-spin gauge field/current automatically requires the infinite tower of higher-spin gauge fields/currents. The result implies that from all the admissible non-Abelian cubic vertices in AdS(d), that have been recently classified for totally symmetric higher-spin gauge fields, only one vertex can pass the Jacobi consistency test. This cubic vertex is associated with a gauge deformation that is the germ of the Eastwood-Vasiliev's higher-spin algebra.

description: Nell’attuale contesto della mobilità urbana, emerge una crescente richiesta di servizi di mobilità sostenibili, flessibili e integrati. Il Green Deal Europeo con lo scopo di fornire trasporti efficienti, sicuri e rispettosi dell'ambiente, ambisce a raggiungere il 55% di riduzioni di gas serra legati al trasporto entro il 2030, e il 90% entro il 2050. In particolare, è il trasporto in ambito urbano a contribuire per il 72% delle emissioni di CO2 provenienti dal trasporto su gomma in Europa. Tutto ciò ha portato negli ultimi anni alla trasformazione delle città in un'ottica smart e al diffondersi di pratiche di mobilità intelligente, dove l'ICT rappresenta una soluzione promettente per raggiungere questi nuovi obiettivi di mobilità. Questo lavoro prende in analisi le importanti caratteristiche di alcune iniziative emblematiche avviate da due città pugliesi, Bari e Taranto, che si stanno distinguendo nel panorama dell’Italia meridionale per le recenti iniziative legate alla Smart Mobility. Questa trasformazione influenza le politiche e le scelte degli abitanti, portando all’emergere di nuovi servizi e strategie, creando così un ambiente urbano nuovo e altamente personalizzato atto a soddisfare le esigenze e le preferenze sia dei residenti che dei visitatori. In the current context of urban mobility, a growing demand for sustainable, flexible, and integrated mobility services emerges. The European Green Deal, with the scope of providing efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly transport, aims to achieve 55% reductions in transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and 90% by 2050. In particular, the European urban transport contributes by 72% of the total CO2 emissions from road transport. This has led to the transformation of cities from a smart perspective and the spread of intelligent mobility practices in recent years, where ICT represents a promising solution to achieve these new mobility objectives.This paper analyses the important characteristics of some emblematic initiatives launched by two Apulian cities, Bari and Taranto, which are standing out in the panorama of southern Italy for their recent initiatives linked to Smart Mobility. This transformation influences policies and choices of inhabitants, leading to the emergence of new services and strategies, thus creating a new and highly personalized urban environment capable of satisfying the needs and preferences of both residents and visitors.

description: Minimax single facility location problems in multidimensional space with Chebyshev distance are examined within the framework of idempotent algebra. The aim of the study is twofold: first, to give a new algebraic solution to the location problems, and second, to extend the area of application of idempotent algebra. A new algebraic approach based on investigation of extremal properties of eigenvalues for irreducible matrices is developed to solve multidimensional problems that involve minimization of functionals defined on idempotent vector semimodules. Furthermore, an unconstrained location problem is considered and then represented in the idempotent algebra settings. A new algebraic solution is given that reduces the problem to evaluation of the eigenvalue and eigenvectors of an appropriate matrix. Finally, the solution is extended to solve a constrained location problem.

description: We theoretically study the quantum dynamics of transverse vibrations of a one-dimensional chain of trapped ions in harmonic potentials interacting via a Reggeon-type cubic nonlinearity that is nonunitary but preserves PT symmetry. We propose the notion of quantum fragility for the dissipative structural phase transition that spontaneously breaks the PT symmetry. In the quantum fragile regime, the nonlinearity dominates the response to mechanical perturbations and the chain supports neither the ordinary quantum phonons of a Luttinger liquid, nor the supersonic solitons that arise in classical fragile critical points in the absence of fluctuations. Quantum fluctuations, approximately captured within a one-loop renormalization group, give rise to mechanical excitations with a strongly momentum-dependent phonon velocity and dissipative spectral behavior. Observable signatures of the quantum fragile chain in trapped ion systems are discussed.

We focus particularly on the origin and behavior of this difference and show that it can be interpreted as the anomalous dimension of a certain scalar background field, leading to simple direct computation and qualitative understanding. The results are given for generic as well as supersymmetric gauge theories. These complement the set of well-known gamma- and beta-functions of Machacek/Vaughn. As an application, we compute the beta-functions for VEVs and tan(beta) in the MSSM, NMSSM and E6SSM.

description: La questione della sicurezza e della libera circolazione dei cittadini nell’area Schengen assume una risonanza storica che risiede nella tensione tra ordini nazionali e liberalismo economico, ma è anche acquisizione evolutiva di un positivismo moderno risultato di esperienze politiche e trasformazioni democratiche tra Stati. Questo saggio indaga le implicazioni sulla sicurezza pubblica emerse dopo gli eventi terroristici del 2001, rispetto ai quali l’area Schengen ha contribuito a creare una nuova coscienza, nuove forme di garanzia e dispositivi di sicurezza per la protezione dello spazio comunitario. In altri termini Schengen alimenta quell’immaginario collettivo che vede nell’Unione Europea un’area di libertà e di opportunità per i cittadini dei suoi Stati membri che considerano la libertà di circolazione uno dei principali pilastri raggiunti con l’integrazione comunitaria. Tuttavia gli attacchi terroristici degli ultimi anni hanno messo in crisi questo modello, riproponendo scenari distopici che lasciano presagire ulteriori spazi per la vulnerabilità e la sopraffazione. The issue of security and the free movement of citizens in the Schengen area takes on a historical resonance that lies in the tension between national orders and economic liberalism but is also an evolutionary acquisition of modern positivism resulting from political experiences and democratic transformations between states. This essay investigates the implications on public security that emerged after the terrorist events of 2001, with respect to which the Schengen area helped to create a new consciousness, new forms of guarantee and security devices for the protection of the community space. In other words, Schengen fuels that collective imagination that sees the European Union as an area of freedom and opportunity for the citizens of its member states who consider freedom of movement to be one of the main pillars achieved through EU integration. However, the terrorist attacks of recent years have challenged this model, re-proposing dystopian scenarios that suggest further spaces for vulnerability and oppression.

description: Emerging collaborative Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems require discovery and utilization of diverse, multi-attribute, distributed, and dynamic groups of resources to achieve greater tasks beyond conventional file and processor cycle sharing. Collaborations involving application specific resources and dynamic quality of service goals are stressing current P2P architectures. Salient features and desirable characteristics of collaborative P2P systems are highlighted. Resource advertising, selecting, matching, and binding, the critical phases in these systems, and their associated challenges are reviewed using examples from distributed collaborative adaptive sensing systems, cloud computing, and mobile social networks. State-of-the-art resource discovery/aggregation solutions are compared with respect to their architecture, lookup overhead, load balancing, etc., to determine their ability to meet the goals and challenges of each critical phase. Incentives, trust, privacy, and security issues are also discussed, as they will ultimately determine the success of a collaborative P2P system. Open issues and research opportunities that are essential to achieve the true potential of collaborative P2P systems are discussed.

description: Love Anarchy is a Swedish series that has been running on Netflix since autumn 2020. The series follows the seduction game between the business consultant Sofie and the young IT employee Max: every day one of the two challenges the other to make an action that goes beyond the limits of social norms. Sofie and Max's relationship brings to the stage the ambivalent imagery of gaming in contemporary sociality, that can be tracked down to the success of the "challenges" on social networks, along with the exploitation of gamification in marketing or “serious game” in social issues and public policy. In an anomic social context due to the rapidity of transformations, the game seems to offer a disciplinary guide that drives insights and decisions in the absence of other references. Through the analysis of the audio-visual text of the series and the comparison with other similar experiences in pop culture, this paper means to explore the current hybridization of ludic dimension and everyday life, along with the chance of putting individuals in touch with their deeper feelings and the collapse of separation between duty and leisure.

description: We study the dynamics of a two-level quantum system interacting with an external environment that takes the form of an XY spin chain in the presence of an external magnetic field. While the presence of the bath itself can enhance the transition probability from the lower level to the upper level of the system, we show that this noise-assisted phenomenon is sensitive to a change of the quantum phase of the environment. The derivative of the transition probability displays a maximum in correspondence with the critical value of the applied field both in the case of isotropic and anisotropic chains.

description: In this paper we consider scalar-tensor theories, allowing for both conformal and disformal couplings to a fluid with a generic equation of state. We derive the effective coupling for both background cosmology and for perturbations in that fluid. As an application we consider the scalar degree of freedom to be coupled to baryons and study the dynamics of the tightly coupled photon-baryon fluid in the early universe. We derive an expression for the effective speed of sound, which differs from its value in General Relativity. We apply our findings to the μ-distortion of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which depends on the effective sound-speed of the photon-baryon fluid, and show that the predictions differ from General Relativity. Thus, the μ-distortion provides further information about gravity in the very early universe well before decoupling.

description: Current autonomic computing systems are ad hoc solutions that are designed and implemented from the scratch. When designing software, in most cases two or more patterns are to be composed to solve a bigger problem. A composite design patterns shows a synergy that makes the composition more than just the sum of its parts which leads to ready-made software architectures. As far as we know, there are no studies on composition of design patterns for autonomic computing domain. In this paper we propose pattern-oriented software architecture for self-optimization in autonomic computing system using design patterns composition and multi objective evolutionary algorithms that software designers and/or programmers can exploit to drive their work. Main objective of the system is to reduce the load in the server by distributing the population to clients. We used Case Based Reasoning, Database Access, and Master Slave design patterns. We evaluate the effectiveness of our architecture with and without design patterns compositions. The use of composite design patterns in the architecture and quantitative measurements are presented. A simple UML class diagram is used to describe the architecture.

description: The purpose of this paper is to provide examples of companies using diversified strategies to advance in a competitive market and withstand the economic downturn. This paper will explain the benefits of the strategies and how one can implement them in their own business. The variety of strategies and examples will be presented in a literature review and a case study about the Los Angeles Clipper franchise. The goal is to present diversified strategies as an alternate response to the decline, so companies will gain ideas about how to develop cost saving initiatives that will increase long term revenue. Furthermore the Clippers diversity initiatives can be applied to any company that is struggling with increasing their revenue.
Anomalous thermodynamic power laws near topological transitions in nodal superconductors

description: Unconventional superconductors are most frequently identified by the observation of power-law behaviour on low-temperature thermodynamic or transport properties, such as specific heat. Here we show that, in addition to the usual point and line nodes, a much wider class of different nodal types can occur. These new types of nodes typically occur when there are transitions between different types of gap node topology, for example when point or line nodes first appear as a function of some physical parameter. We identify anomalous, non-integer thermodynamic power laws associated with these new nodal types, and give physical examples of superconductors in which they might be observed experimentally, including the noncentrosymmetric superconductor Li$_2$Pd$_{3-x}$Pt$_x$B.

Impact investigation of reactor fuel operating parameters on reactivity for use in burnup credit applications
Creators: name: Sloma, Tanya N.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: When representing the behavior of commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF), credit is sought for the reduced reactivity associated with the net depletion of fissile isotopes and the creation of neutron-absorbing isotopes, a process that begins when a commercial nuclear reactor is first operated at power. Burnup credit accounts for the reduced reactivity potential of a fuel assembly and varies with the fuel burnup, cooling time, and the initial enrichment of fissile material in the fuel. With regard to long-term SNF disposal and transportation, tremendous benefits, such as increased capacity, flexibility of design and system operations, and reduced overall costs, provide an incentive to seek burnup credit for criticality safety evaluations.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Interim Staff Guidance 8, Revision 2 in 2002, endorsing burnup credit of actinide composition changes only; credit due to actinides encompasses approximately 30% of exiting pressurized water reactor SNF inventory and could potentially be increased to 90% if fission product credit were accepted. However, one significant issue for utilizing full burnup credit, compensating for actinide and fission product composition changes, is establishing a set of depletion parameters that produce an adequately conservative representation of the fuel's isotopic inventory. Depletion parameters can have a significant effect on the isotopic inventory of the fuel, and thus the residual reactivity.
This research seeks to quantify the reactivity impact on a system from dominant depletion parameters (i.e., fuel temperature, moderator density, burnable poison rod, burnable poison rod history, and soluble Boron concentration). Bounding depletion parameters were developed by statistical evaluation of a database containing reactor operating histories. The database was generated from summary reports of commercial reactor criticality data. Through depletion calculations, utilizing the SCALE 6 code package, several light water reactor assembly designs and in-core locations are analyzed in establishing a combination of depletion parameters that conservatively represent the fuel's isotopic inventory as an initiative to take credit for fuel burnup in criticality safety evaluations for transportation and storage of SNF.

description: Il paper analizza la pandemia da COVID-19 attraverso l’utilizzo del concetto di crisi, delineandone un quadro teorico facente riferimento ad alcuni scritti di Koselleck, Habermas e Debray. A partire da tale cornice teorica viene poi affrontata l’importanza che assume l’indagine sulle cause di una crisi ed il perché non possa che produrre un conflitto interpretativo. Nello specifico della crisi pandemica viene analizzata l’emersione nello spazio pubblico di teorie alternative a quella avallata dalla comunità scientifica e ne viene proposta una tipizzazione in due tesi (una basata sull’incidente di laboratorio e l’altra sulla guerra batteriologica) di cui vengono analizzate le implicazioni politiche e teoriche. The paper analyses the COVID-19 pandemic using the concept of crisis, defining a theoretical framework referring to some writings by Koselleck, Habermas and Debray. Within this theoretical framework, what is analysed is the importance of the investigation into the causes of a crisis and why this investigation produces an interpretative conflict. Specifically with regard to the pandemic crisis, the rise of alternative theories to the one endorsed by the scientific community is examined, and a typification is proposed in two theses (one based on the laboratory incident and the other on bacteriological warfare) whose political and theoretical implications are analysed.
