description: We consider the chaotic motion of low-mass bodies in two-body high-order mean-motion resonances with planets in model planetary systems, and analytically estimate the Lyapunov and diffusion timescales of the motion in multiplets of interacting subresonances corresponding to the mean-motion resonances. We show that the densely distributed (though not overlapping) high-order mean-motion resonances, when certain conditions on the planetary system parameters are satisfied, may produce extended planetary chaotic zones -- "zones of weak chaotization," -- much broader than the well-known planetary connected chaotic zone, the Wisdom gap. This extended planetary chaotic zone covers the orbital range between the 2/1 and 1/1 resonances with the planet. On the other hand, the orbital space inner (closer to the host star) with respect to the 2/1 resonance location is essentially long-term stable. This difference arises because the adiabaticity parameter of subresonance multiplets specifically depends on the particle's orbit size. The revealed effect may control the structure of planetesimal disks in planetary systems: the orbital zone between the 2/1 and 1/1 resonances with a planet should be normally free from low-mass material (only that occasionally captured in the first-order 3/2 or 4/3 resonances may survive); whereas any low-mass population inner to the 2/1 resonance location should be normally long-lived (if not perturbed by secular resonances, which we do not consider in this study).

«O Sancta Haera». Pilgrims and Pilgrimage in the Sanctuary of Sainte Foy at Conques
Creators: name: Papasidero, Marco
Publisher: name: Almatourism - Journal of Tourism, Culture and Territorial Development
Year: 2017
Subjects: Pilgrimages; Hagiography; Sainte Foy; Conques; Pilgrimages’ routes

description: The Liber miraculorum Sancte Fidis, written during the XI century, partially by Bernard of Angers, describes miracles, healings and rituals practiced in the sanctuary of Sainte Foy at Conques, martyr of the beginning of the IV century.

The Liber allows us to analyze the anthropological and religious dimension of the pilgrims and their pilgrimage. As a matter of fact, through the descriptions of the pilgrims, their gestures, their aspects, their words, their ritual practices by the tomb, their rich or poor offerings, we can analyze the dimension of the Medieval pilgrimage as a specific case study, which can help us describe the idea of pilgrimage in Medieval West Europe and specifically in this sanctuary.

Furthermore, through the reading of the accounts of miracle stories, we can analyze the healing ritual practices, the miraculous dimension of this cult and the Sainte’s ability to treat diseases. The center of the Conques cult was – and remains – the Majesty of Sainte Foy, a reliquary statue in which the power (virtus/dynamis) of the saint’s relics is concentrated.

description: 100 records and many other documentary testimonies regarding the Congregation of the Holy Face of Lucca are stored within the funds of the Historical Diocesan Archive of Lucca. The Chapters of the Society of the Holy Face are present within the same Archive; this document is dated back to 1306-1308 and it is brought up together with the minutes of the meetings in a paper register of 16th-17th century, the only one remained concerning the renewed Society of the Holy Sacrament and the Holy Face. The brotherhood recovered importance during the 19th century mostly thanks to some priests of Lucca, including the Abbot Pietro Pera (the future Archbishop between 1845 and 1846). Specifically, two important moments regarding the renewed interest for the relics of Lucca can be registered after the Napoleonic Era. First, a competition for the construction of a golden lamp for the chapel of the Holy Face was carried out between 1835 and 1836, and Abbot Pera was charged to supervise the enterprise. Related documentaries as well as the various drawings presented for the competition are stored in the Archives of the Congregation of the Holy Face. Moreover, a pilgrimage to the simulacrum of Lucca took place during 1896. This event was very successful: the City and the entire Diocese accurately organized the arrival of about 132,000 pilgrims by controlling pilgrims’ overnighting and daily meals, and developing a visiting route concerning the shrines of the City.

description: Recently, a generalization of the double-Rayleigh with line-of-sight channel fading model taking into account shadowing of the line-of-sight component has been proposed. In this research, a closed-form analysis of the average bit error rate for MPSK/MQAM modulations is performed. The derived solution is accompanied by proposed numerically efficient approximation and all possible asymptotic expressions that correspond to extreme channel parameters. Lastly, a numerical simulation was performed that demonstrated the correctness of the derived results.

Shrines and Holy Places in Tuscany between Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism: the Difficult Relationship between Knowledge and Valorization

Year: 2017
Subjects: Knowledge; Valorization; Via Francigena; Tuscany

description: After an introduction to the correct classification of the relationship between knowledge and valorization as a strategic subject in territorial development policies, the article moves on to talk about the Via Francigena through historical and territorial Italian culture. In the accumulation of successful initiatives not everything has been estimated and minimised, but many occasions have been wasted, beginning with that of a systematic survey of historical testament. The Francigena, the most ancient and important European pilgrim route has frequently facilitated the biggest and most important historical-cultural subject of medieval viability which, for example could include the numerous vie romee. Selections made have eliminated the financial support to the basic research on cultural heritage from which knowledge inexorably derives a non-substitutable foundation for the divulgation and dispersal of knowledge. In the matter of the Tuscany, it would have been possible to highlight, not only the important historical moments of historiography, by to also make the large documentary, literary, artistic and architectural depositories available from the presence of ecclesiastical institutes on a local level. The article develops, deepening the theme of the cult of the Mother of God in the Italian Middle Ages and Renaissance with relation to narrative tradition, thus recomposing the framework of Marian exaltation to be brought to light and valorized spiritually as well as culturally.

Assessing the complexity of orbital parameters after asymmetric kick in binary pulsars

description: The dynamical characterization of the Millisecond Pulsar (MSP) parameters is a key issue in understanding these systems. We present an analytical analysis of the orbital parameters of binary MSPs with long periods (Porb > 2 d) and circular (e < 0.1) orbits, produced by an asymmetric kick model imparted during the Accretion Induced Collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs process. It turns out that the distribution of orbits peaks up to P_orb;f < 90 d with strong circularization. Considering the different assumptions about the distribution of companions He stars 3M< Mcom < 5M, the binary will affect the setups of the balance condition of minimum energy. Our analytical approach is just the first approach to the more complete models required for describing all binary parameters after an asymmetric kick. Therefore, we have also run some numerical simulations in order to compare their results with the analytical studies. We aim to initiate the first exploration of the full complexity of the problem, when combining a variable kick time and a variable kick vector direction. Indeed, the numerical simulations show patterns resembling the complex behavior found in chaotic scattering problems. Although we deal with a deterministic problem and bounded orbits, the regular characteristic orbits are found in more realistic phases during the AIC process. In addition, the overall process can show complex behaviors strongly associated with the internal kick mechanisms. This would lead us to identify the nature of regular orbits and their orbital morphology.

description: Interactive AI systems increasingly employ a human-in-the-loop strategy. This creates new challenges for the HCI community when designing such systems. We reveal and investigate some of these challenges in a case study with an industry partner, and developed a prototype human-in-the-loop system for preference-guided 3D model processing. Two 3D artists used it in their daily work for 3 months. We found that the human-AI loop often did not converge towards a satisfactory result and designed a lab study (N=20) to investigate this further. We analyze interaction data and user feedback through the lens of theories of human judgment to explain the observed human-in-the-loop failures with two key insights: 1) optimization using preferential choices lacks mechanisms to deal with inconsistent and contradictory human judgments; 2) machine outcomes, in turn, influence future user inputs via heuristic biases and loss aversion. To mitigate these problems, we propose descriptive UI design guidelines. Our case study draws attention to challenging and practically relevant imperfections in human-AI loops that need to be considered when designing human-in-the-loop systems.

description: Determining how voice assistants should broker consent to share data with third party software has proven to be a complex problem. Devices often require users to switch to companion smartphone apps in order to navigate permissions menus for their otherwise hands-free voice assistant. More in line with smartphone app stores, Alexa now offers "voice-forward consent", allowing users to grant skills access to personal data mid-conversation using speech. While more usable and convenient than opening a companion app, asking for consent 'on the fly' can undermine several concepts core to the informed consent process. The intangible nature of voice interfaces further blurs the boundary between parts of an interaction controlled by third-party developers from the underlying platforms. This provocation paper highlights key issues with current verbal consent implementations, outlines directions for potential solutions, and presents five open questions to the research community. In so doing, we hope to help shape the development of usable and effective verbal consent for voice assistants and similar conversational user interfaces.

description: The increasing reach and functionality of voice assistants has allowed them to become a general-purpose platform for tasks like playing music, accessing information, and controlling smart home devices. In order to maintain the quality of third-party skills and to protect children and other members of the public from inappropriate or malicious skills, platform providers have developed content policies and certification procedures that skills must undergo prior to public release. Unfortunately, research suggests that these measures have been ineffective at curating voice assistant platforms, with documented instances of skills with significant security and privacy problems. This provocation paper outlines how the underlying architectures of these platforms had turned skill certification into a seemingly intractable problem, as well as how current certification methods fall short of their full potential. We present a roadmap for improving the state of skill certification on contemporary voice assistant platforms, including research directions and actions that need to be taken by platform vendors. Promoting this change in domestic voice assistants is especially important, as developers of commercial and industrial assistants or other similar contexts increasingly look to these devices for norms and conventions.

description: Optimisation algorithms designed to work on quantum computers or other specialised hardware have been of research interest in recent years. Many of these solver can only optimise problems that are in binary and quadratic form. Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimisation (QUBO) is therefore a common formulation used by these solvers. There are many combinatorial optimisation problems that are naturally represented as permutations e.g., travelling salesman problem. Encoding permutation problems using binary variables however presents some challenges. Many QUBO solvers are single flip solvers, it is therefore possible to generate solutions that cannot be decoded to a valid permutation. To create bias towards generating feasible solutions, we use penalty weights. The process of setting static penalty weights for various types of problems is not trivial. This is because values that are too small will lead to infeasible solutions being returned by the solver while values that are too large may lead to slower convergence. In this study, we explore some methods of setting penalty weights within the context of QUBO formulations. We propose new static methods of calculating penalty weights which lead to more promising results than existing methods.

description: This article describes the fuzzy conformable fractional derivative which is based on generalized Hukuhara differentiability. On these topics, we prove a number of properties concerning this type of differentiability. In addition, fuzzy conformable Laplace transforms are used to obtain analytical solutions to the fractional differential equation. Through the use of several practical examples, such as the fuzzy conformable fractional growth equation, the fuzzy conformable fractional one-compartment model, and the fuzzy conformable fractional Newton's law of cooling, we demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the approaches.

Subjects: Loreto; Pilgrimage; Croats; Maritime; Illyrian College

description: This paper presents a small part of the pilgrimages undertaken by Croats during the 18th century across the Adriatic Sea to Loreto. The pilgrimages are described as a sui generis phenomenon of all human and religious societies. The history of the Catholic pilgrimage is analyzed through the perspective of common roots with Judaism and Islam, and the subsequent differentiation from other Christian confessions. Relations of the Croats with overseas territories since the 14th century are described, as well as their settlement in the hinterland of Ancona: Recanati and Loreto. The story of the Shrine of the Our Lady of Loreto is presented, the ties with the Croats settled there, and the foundation of a special seminary for Croats in 1580: the Illyrian College. During the review of the 4,890 documentary sources of volume I of the Croatian Maritime Regesta, a smaller segment of sources was found from the State Archive of Venice on the subject of pilgrimages. These sources list 44 pilgrimages from various locations on the Croatian coast. The types of ships they traveled on, the origin of the passengers, their number, organization in groups, the time of pilgrimage and the time of the year in which they occurred are analyzed. The most numerous pilgrims are from Lošinj (Lussino), followed by Cres (Cherso), Dugi Otok (Isola Lunga), Rovinj (Rovigno), Labin (Albona), Korčula (Curzola), Zadar (Zara) and Vis (Lissa).

This work is a contribution to the study of the links between the two sides of the Adriatic in the 18th century, which requires further publication and analysis of documentary sources.

description: Products with PV integrated are not yet a common sight in the urban environment. The best known
example is parking meters. A project, started 2008, aims at promoting the exploitation of PV in the urban
environment. A mapping of the light energy conditions (intensity and spectral distribution) at a number of urban
locations will be conducted, using a unique light logger developed in the project. A variety of solar cells (different
manufacturers and technologies) will be characterized to have data material for matching suited solar cells to given
conditions, using a LED-based sun simulator which is also developed in the project. Based on the logged light energy
data and characteristics of the measured solar cells a guide will be developed for designers of PV products, who are
often challenged by low light energy in urban areas and a small surface area of the product for integration of PV.
Finally potential PV CO2-neutral substitutes for existing applications in the city and the market potential, drivers, and
obstacles will be examined.
Italy Seen Through the Eyes of Anselmo Adorno. A Testimony of the Middle Ages

description: Anselmo Adorno was one of the most prominent and influential men of Western Europe in the late Middle Ages in the area between Flanders, the Duchy of Burgundy and Scotland. Negotiator, wise, magistrate, Anselmo left us the journey report Itinerarium Terrae Sanctae Anselmi Adorni, written by his son Giovanni, a source of extraordinary wealth for the details and descriptions of places, customs and customs of the peoples of the eastern Mediterranean. Of particular interest is also the description of the cities, the urban and rural landscape, the routes that Adorno travelled in his journey between 1470 and 1471. The article will therefore take the moves from this precious testimony to describe the Italy visited by the pilgrim of Bruges, including Genoa, a family town of Rome, Brindisi and the Apulian cities of Naples, and the route that from the eternal city led to Venice, Cologne and finally to the West Flanders.

description: Context: Recent research indicates that Web queries written by software developers are not very successful in retrieving relevant results, performing measurably worse compared to general purpose Web queries. Most approaches up to this point have addressed this problem with software engineering-specific automated query reformulation techniques, which work without developer involvement but are limited by the content of the original query. In other words, these techniques automatically improve the existing query but can not contribute new, previously unmentioned, concepts. Objective: In this paper, we propose a technique to guide software developers in manually improving their own Web search queries. We examine a conversational approach that follows unsuccessful queries with a clarification question aimed at eliciting additional query terms, thus providing to the developer a clear dimension along which the query could be improved. Methods: We describe a set of clarification questions derived from a corpus of software developer queries and a neural approach to recommending them for a newly issued query. Results: Our evaluation indicates that the recommendation technique is accurate, predicting a valid clarification question 80% of the time and outperforms simple baselines, as well as, state-of-the-art Learning To Rank (LTR) baselines. Conclusion: As shown in the experimental results, the described approach is capable at recommending appropriate clarification questions to software developers and considered useful by a sample of developers ranging from novices to experienced professionals.
Generational Differences in Automobility: Comparing America's Millennials and Gen Xers Using Gradient Boosting Decision Trees

description: Whether the Millennials are less auto-centric than the previous generations has been widely discussed in the literature. Most existing studies use regression models and assume that all factors are linear-additive in contributing to the young adults' driving behaviors. This study relaxes this assumption by applying a non-parametric statistical learning method, namely the gradient boosting decision trees (GBDT). Using U.S. nationwide travel surveys for 2001 and 2017, this study examines the non-linear dose-response effects of lifecycle, socio-demographic and residential factors on daily driving distances of Millennial and Gen-X young adults. Holding all other factors constant, Millennial young adults had shorter predicted daily driving distances than their Gen-X counterparts. Besides, residential and economic factors explain around 50% of young adults' daily driving distances, while the collective contributions for life course events and demographics are about 33%. This study also identifies the density ranges for formulating effective land use policies aiming at reducing automobile travel demand.
From the Roman and then Longobard via Cassiola to the Piccola Cassia Tourist Project

description: A coordinated set of initiatives of cultural value also useful for the acquaintance and tourism development of the territory must have as solid basis the study of the ancient testimonies of the path of travelers and pilgrims. Cassiola road was a Roman road, continuing north of Cassia road, disused during the occupation of the Longobards of West Emilia, and reopened by the longobard king Astolfo in the middle of the eighth century. Today the different stretches of Cassiola or Piccola Cassia road are still accessible on foot, on horseback, by bicycle, and touch places of high historical, architectural, artistic and cultural value.
The study of many other medieval roads deriving from Roman ones has verified the persistence of the use of the road name itself (such as Fiamenga da Flaminia or Cassiola da Cassia) or the use in medieval documents of the term strata, which always indicates a road of importance not only local but at least regional or trans-regional. Via Cassiola can be found in medieval documents from this name, in the vulgar Latin transformed into Cassola, or in the historical cartography of Modern age with the name of Cassola or Cassoletta. Its path to the plain between Modena and Bologna covered important Benedictine abbeys rich in relics, such as S. Silvestro di Nonantola and S. Maria in Strada, and medieval hospitals for pilgrims, such as S. Bartholomew of Spilamberto. On the hills, the road touched the abbey of St. Lucia of Roffeno and wandered the Apennine to the passage of the Arcane Cross, where a great cross was driving the passengers. On the way to the pass, pilgrims could stay at the church of S. Colombano in Fanano, while in the valley of the Ospitale torrent one could find refuge in the hospice of S. Giacomo of Val di Lamola, both still existing. In Tuscany, the road allowed to arrive in Pistoia, the end of the Roman Cassia road, where pilgrims could adore the relics of saint James in the cathedral, or reach the Garfagnana and Lucca, where the Holy Face attracts the devotion of thousands of faithful men and women from all over Europe.

description: Medical image segmentation can be implemented using Deep Learning methods with fast and efficient segmentation networks. Single-board computers (SBCs) are difficult to use to train deep networks due to their memory and processing limitations. Specific hardware such as Google's Edge TPU makes them suitable for real time predictions using complex pre-trained networks. In this work, we study the performance of two SBCs, with and without hardware acceleration for fundus image segmentation, though the conclusions of this study can be applied to the segmentation by deep neural networks of other types of medical images. To test the benefits of hardware acceleration, we use networks and datasets from a previous published work and generalize them by testing with a dataset with ultrasound thyroid images. We measure prediction times in both SBCs and compare them with a cloud based TPU system. The results show the feasibility of Machine Learning accelerated SBCs for optic disc and cup segmentation obtaining times below 25 milliseconds per image using Edge TPUs.
