description: We have observed five carbon-rich AGB stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, using the Infrared Spectrometer on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The stars were selected from a near-infrared survey of Fornax and include the three reddest stars, with presumably the highest mass-loss rates, in that galaxy. Such carbon stars probably belong to the intermediate-age population (2-8 Gyr old and metallicity of [Fe/H] -1) of Fornax. The primary aim of this paper is to investigate mass-loss rate, as a function of luminosity and metallicity, by comparing AGB stars in several galaxies with different metallicities. The spectra of three stars are fitted with a radiative transfer model. We find that mass-loss rates of these three stars are 4-7x10^-6 Msun yr-1. The other two stars have mass-loss rates below 1.3x10^-6 Msun yr-1. We find no evidence that these rates depend on metallicity, although we do suggest that the gas-to-dust ratio could be higher than at solar metallicity, in the range 240 to 800. The C2H2 bands are stronger at lower metallicity because of the higher C/O ratio. In contrast, the SiC fraction is reduced at low metallicity, due to low silicon abundance. The total mass-loss rate from all known carbon-rich AGB stars into the interstellar medium of this galaxy is of the order of 2x10^-5 Msun yr-1. This is much lower than that of the dwarf irregular galaxy WLM, which has a similar visual luminosity and metallicity. The difference is attributed to the younger stellar population of WLM. The suppressed gas-return rate to the ISM accentuates the difference between the relatively gas-rich dwarf irregular and the gas-poor dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Our study will be useful to constrain gas and dust recycling processes in low metallicity galaxies.

Individuale e globale. L’irripetibile unicità di Diego
Creators: name: Russo, Pippo

description: On the day of his death, Diego Armando Maradona was definitively elevated to the status of global leader with a universal message. The media mobilization that was triggered immediately, in addition to breaking the thematic monopoly of covid in the global communication agenda, has decreed a status that had never been assigned to a sports personality. And the unanimity registered by the emotional reaction of global public opinion has also healed the divisive character that instead the figure of Diego Armando Maradona had been in life. From this starting point, the essay intends to propose a variation on Maradona as a global and transversal cultural phenomenon, capable of affirming itself as such by enhancing the propensity for an individualism full of a sense of challenge and never inclined to mediation. The essay also takes into account a particular dimension of the figure of Maradona: that of being a global and Italian phenomenon at the same time. A global phenomenon, because it belongs to the whole of humanity and proved it for the umpteenth time on the day of his death, when the media around the world interrupted the information monopoly of the pandemic for a couple of days to give space to a great media ceremony of homage to the genius. An Italian phenomenon, because it was during the years spent in Italy that Maradona became the greatest ever and achieved the most significant successes.

Considerazioni sulla definizione e la classificazione dei composti
Creators: name: Grandi, Nicola
Publisher: name: Annali Online  Lettere - Ferrara
Year: 2012

description: The notion of 'compounded word / compounding' has been a central topic  of the recent literature on morphology, but is still lacking a  universally accepted definition: in fact, almost all the definitions we  find in the literature appear unsatisfactory since they tend to label as  compound any multi-word lexical item or to exclude from the category  'compounding' lexical items which, on the contrary, seem to match the  necessary conditions for being members of it. Moreover, the category  'compounding' crosses the limit between morphology and syntax. All these  problems have made difficult both a definition and a classification of  compounds. In this paper, I aim both to draw a new definition of  compounding, based only on morphological criteria, and to sketch a new  classification of compounds, starting from the distinction between  coordinative compounds and hierarchical compounds. In the last section  of the paper, a comparative analysis of English end Italian verbal  compounds will be made, in order to show that items which belong to the  same semantic class can exhibit relevant differences on the formal  ground in a cross-linguistic perspective.

description: We compute the Moore-Witten regularized u-plane integral on CP^2, and we confirm their conjecture that it is the generating function for the SO(3)-Donaldson invariants of CP^2. We prove this conjecture using the theory of mock theta functions and harmonic Maass forms. We also derive further such generating functions for the SO(3)-Donaldson invariants with 2N_f massless monopoles using the geometry of certain rational elliptic surfaces (N_f=0,2,3,4). We show that the partition function for N_f=4 is nearly modular. When combined with one of Ramanujan's mock theta functions, we obtain a weight 1/2 modular form. This fact is central to the proof of the conjecture.

‘El Diego de la gente’: the most human of the football Gods

Year: 2022

description: Football and religion maintain a beneficial association and it would not be an exaggeration to say that contemporary football presents the most watched religious performances in the world (Rial, 2012). Some authors even compare football to a new religion. In the multisite ethnographic research about football that I have conducted in more than 15 countries since 2003, I found expressions of devotion to various celebrity players who are treated as “saints” and “messiahs” – yet none with the intensity of Maradona, who has his own Church in Argentina, chapels in the streets of Naples, and there was passionate commotion at his wake. Inquiring into the relationship between football and religion, the article explores the characteristics of the star Maradona, who is closer to the ambiguous figure of Exú than other more Apollonian football “deities”. It examines why Maradona deserves such worship and how this banal religiosity echoes among football fans. Cheering for Maradona can be seen as a weapon of the weak to beat puissant, at least imaginarily.

Pierre Broodcoorens: un scrittore di fiandra e la Germania
Creators: name: Geminiani, Graziana
Publisher: name: Annali Online  Lettere - Ferrara
Year: 2012

description: The editorial destiny of Le Sang rouge des Flamands reflects the  relationship between Belgium and Germany during the First World War. The  author Pierre Broodcoorens, partly because of his abnormal identity of a  French-speaking Flemish, has succeeded in creating - without being  aware of it - a rural idyll so deeply germanic, that it could be used  for the expansionistic aims of Germany that prospected a germanic  Flanders. Johannes Schlaf, the famous German author and translator of  the novel, had only to exclude the intention of social denunciation,  declared by the author in the preface of the novel, and then the pages  of Le Sang rouge des Flamands would advocate for a profound  "germanicity". If Pierre Broodcoorens is completely forgotten nowadays,  this is not for the lack of literary quality, but the reason has rather  to be searched in the political and ideological aspects, in which the  idealist and promising writer has been involved

Asymptotic Analysis of General Multiuser Detectors in MIMO DS-CDMA Channels

description: We analyze a MIMO DS-CDMA channel with a general multiuser detector including a nonlinear multiuser detector, using the replica method. In the many-user, limit the MIMO DS-CDMA channel with the multiuser detector is decoupled into a bank of single-user SIMO Gaussian channels if a spatial spreading scheme is employed. On the other hand, it is decoupled into a bank of single-user MIMO Gaussian channels if a spatial spreading scheme is not employed. The spectral efficiency of the MIMO DS-CDMA channel with the spatial spreading scheme is comparable with that of the MIMO DS-CDMA channel using an optimal space-time block code without the spatial spreading scheme. In the case of the QPSK data modulation scheme the spectral efficiency of the MIMO DS-CDMA channel with the MMSE detector shows {\it waterfall} behavior and is very close to the corresponding sum capacity when the system load is just below the transition point of the {\it waterfall} behavior. Our result implies that the performance of a multiuser detector taking the data modulation scheme into consideration can be far superior to that of linear multiuser detectors.

I luoghi della passione. Stadi, culture, comunità
Creators: name: Tirino, Mario
Publisher: name: Eracle. Journal of Sport and Social Sciences
Year: 2022

description: This paper reflects on the stadium as a symbolic place. The “ethnographic” study of stadiums allows us to understand how these structures reflect the social, economic, and cultural processes of cities and nations. Starting from Andrea Ferreri’s book, the paper analyses the role of stadiums in defining the sense of belonging to a community, through the sports stories that take place there. Sporting legends, therefore, are a decisive part of these processes of narration and self-narration, through which individuals and groups recognise themselves as elements of the same shared destiny. This socialising function of stadiums, linked to the multiplicity of experiences, stories, and legends that they “host”, also concerns the rituality of football. As a kind of “universal secular religion” (Boff, 2014), football can connect a community in the name of a (sporting) faith, which consecrates its temples - the stadiums - according to a codified set of ritual gestures, movements, songs, and choruses.

description: We develop a new estimation technique for recovering depth-of-field from multiple stereo images. Depth-of-field is estimated by determining the shift in image location resulting from different camera viewpoints. When this shift is not divisible by pixel width, the multiple stereo images can be combined to form a super-resolution image. By modeling this super-resolution image as a realization of a random field, one can view the recovery of depth as a likelihood estimation problem. We apply these modeling techniques to the recovery of cloud height from multiple viewing angles provided by the MISR instrument on the Terra Satellite. Our efforts are focused on a two layer cloud ensemble where both layers are relatively planar, the bottom layer is optically thick and textured, and the top layer is optically thin. Our results demonstrate that with relative ease, we get comparable estimates to the M2 stereo matcher which is the same algorithm used in the current MISR standard product (details can be found in [IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing 40 (2002) 1547--1559]). Moreover, our techniques provide the possibility of modeling all of the MISR data in a unified way for cloud height estimation. Research is underway to extend this framework for fast, quality global estimates of cloud height.

Phase Transitions in 4D Gauss-Bonnet-de Sitter Black Holes

description: We investigate thermodynamic aspects of black holes in the recently formulated four dimensional Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity, focusing on its asymptotically de Sitter ($Λ>0$) solutions. We take a Euclidean path integral approach, where thermodynamic data is fixed at a finite radius `cavity' outside the black hole to achieve equilibrium in the presence of the cosmological horizon. Working in the extended phase space where the cosmological constant is treated as a thermodynamic pressure, we study the phase structure of both uncharged and charged solutions, uncovering a wealth of phenomena. In the uncharged case, black holes are found to undergo either the standard Hawking-Page-like transition to empty de Sitter space or a small-large transition (akin to those seen in charged AdS black holes in pure Einstein gravity) depending on the pressure. We also find a triple point where the radiation, small, and large black hole phases coexist, and a zeroth-order phase transition within a narrow range of Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter. Reentrant phase transitions between radiation and a small black hole also exist inside a certain parameter range. Similar phenomena are found in the charged case, with the charge parameter playing a role analogous to the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter in determining the phase structure.

description: A precision measurement of the mass of the h_c(1P1) state of charmonium has been made using a sample of 24.5 million psi(2S) events produced in e+e- annihilation at CESR. The reaction used was psi(2S) -> pi0 h_c, pi0 -> gamma gamma, h_c -> gamma eta_c, and the reaction products were detected in the CLEO-c detector. Data have been analyzed both for the inclusive reaction and for the exclusive reactions in which eta_c decays are reconstructed in fifteen hadronic decay channels. Consistent results are obtained in the two analyses. The averaged results of the present measurements are M(h_c)=3525.28+-0.19 (stat)+-0.12(syst) MeV, and B(psi(2S) -> pi0 h_c)xB(h_c -> gamma eta_c)= (4.19+-0.32+-0.45)x10^-4. Using the 3PJ centroid mass, Delta M_hf(1P)= - M(h_c) = +0.02+-0.19+-0.13 MeV.

description: We present results of a survey of public transport networks (PTNs) of selected 14 major cities of the world with PTN sizes ranging between 2000 and 46000 stations and develop an evolutionary model of these networks. The structure of these PTNs is revealed in terms of a set of neighbourhood relations both for the routes and the stations. The networks defined in this way display distinguishing properties due to the constraints of the embedding 2D geographical space and the structure of the cities. In addition to the standard characteristics of complex networks like the number of nearest neighbours, mean path length, and clustering we observe features specific to PTNs. While other networks with real-world links like cables or neurons embedded in two or three dimensions often show similar behavior, these can be studied in detail in our present case. Geographical data for the routes reveal surprising self-avoiding walk properties that we relate to the optimization of surface coverage. We propose and simulate an evolutionary growth model based on effectively interacting self-avoiding walks that reproduces the key features of PTN.

description: This paper aims to analyse an unexplored social dimension by memory, feminist and sport studies: representations and contradictions on “El Diego” amid amateur feminist soccer players’ testimonies in Buenos Aires. His death meant a moral and political dilemma on an Argentinian popular symbol among those who build a militant project throughout soccer and feminism. This event became a debate within the feminist movement, which has gained relevance in Argentina since the Ni Una Menos’ uprising (2015) and abortion legalization (2020). One position criticized his masculinity model and any act that honored him, such as his funeral at the Casa Rosada. Aware of this nearby “cancel culture” critique, another position highlighted an intersectional review of Maradó’s political and affective role in their personal biographies and social life as a sport hero and popular myth who made happy all soccer fans regardless of their team attachment.

description: We present two approaches to the heat flow on a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$: either as gradient flow on $L^2(M,m)$ for the energy; or as gradient flow on the reverse $L^2$-Wasserstein space $\mathcal{P}_2(M)$ of probability measures on $M$ for the relative entropy. Both approaches depend on the choice of a measure $m$ on $M$ and then lead to the same nonlinear evolution semigroup. We prove $\mathcal{C}^{1,α}$-regularity for solutions to the (nonlinear) heat equation on the Finsler space $(M,F,m)$. Typically, solutions to the heat equation will not be $\mathcal{C}^2$. Moreover, we derive pointwise comparison results a la Cheeger-Yau and integrated upper Gaussian estimates a la Davies.

Singular holomorphic foliations

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A generalized Nash Blow-up M' with respect to coherent subsheaves of locally free sheaves is defined for complex spaces. It is shown that M' is locally isomorphic to a monoidal transformation and hence is analytic. Examples of M' are given. Applications are given to Serre's extension problem and reductive group actions. A C* action on Grassmannians are defined, fixed point sets and Bialynicki-Birula decomposition is described. This action is generalized to Grassmann bundles. The Grassmann graph construction is defined for the analytic case and it is shown that for a compact Kaehler manifold the cycle at infinity is an analytic cycle. A calculation involving the localized classes of graph construction is given. Nash residue for singular holomorphic foliations is defined and it is shown that the residue of Baum-Bott and the Nash residue differ by a term that comes from the Grassmann graph construction of the singular foliation. As an application conclusions are drawn about the rationality conjecture of Baum-Bott. Pontryagin classes in the cohomology of the splitting manifold are given which obstruct an imbedding of a bundle into the tangent bundle.

description: We consider the continuum version of an elastic chain supporting topological and non-topological degrees of freedom; this generalizes a model for the dynamics of DNA recently proposed and investigated by ourselves. In a certain limit, the non-topological degrees of freedom are frozen, and the model reduces to the sine-Gordon equations and thus supports well-known topological soliton solutions. We consider a (singular) perturbative expansion around this limit and study in particular how the non-topological field assume the role of an auxiliary field. This provides a more general framework for the slaving of this degree of freedom on the topological one, already observed elsewhere in the context of the mentioned DNA model; in this framework one expects such phenomenon to arise in a quite large class of field-theoretical models.

description: This presentation makes the following case: that the world has changed over the past two decades, and while traditional tools of librarianship may have sufficed in the past, there is an urgent need for librarians to embrace open licences, open education resources, open access publications, open data, and open science. Each of these five major parts of the open ecosystem will be discussed, with a focus on how African librarians can learn about and adopt open practices for their own use and that of their clients. The paper emphasises the need for professional development of librarians, and demonstrate ways in which individuals, groups and institutions can access free online open resources to empower themselves. The current collaboration between OER Africa and AfLIA includes reference to a continuous professional development (CPD) framework for academic librarians. Such a framework is an innovative planning guide for CPD that supports the career development of librarians, as an alternative to unplanned ad hoc development. The presentation will conclude with the draft professional development framework for academic librarians offered for comment.

Nevertheless, Maradona contributed to the economic and political landscapes of football as we know them today. The Argentinian legend played an enormous role in popularising football on a global scale and made it a part of popular culture. Maradona was also known for his turbulent relations with football governing bodies, notably with the FIFA, the international football federation. On some occasions he acted as FIFA’s ambassador, on others he criticised the organisation harshly. In this article, the author wants to revisit Maradona’s style of making political statements and his manner to interact with sports organisations in order to understand whether his personality would fit modern sports regulatory framework and which lessons can be drawn from his approach by athletes and by governing bodies.

description: We summarize results on finite-volume effects in the propagators of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory using Dyson-Schwinger equations on a 4-dimensional torus. We demonstrate explicitly how the solutions for the gluon and the ghost propagator tend towards their respective infinite volume forms in the corresponding limit. We discuss the relation of our solutions with results from lattice Monte-Carlo simulations.

description: This article highlights specific aspects of the relationship between Maradona and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to trace the development of the “one-athlete brand” in global sport and the construction of the “foreign” sports myth in China. These aspects include the aligned development of football in China and Maradona as an icon, manifested in the gap in the domestic space for Western athletic icons in China and Maradona’s rise during the 1986 World Cup; the political identity and interpretation of Maradona as a supporter of communist and socialist regimes amidst China’s opening and international integration; and the modern development of the Chinese sports machine and Maradona’s corresponding stardom first as a player and then a coach. We assert that Maradona’s extensive story not only included China, but even reflects the strong sociological and cultural implications seen in the profound changes in Chinese society beginning in the mid-1980s.

description: We develop a new equation of state (EoS) table involving thermal (anti)kaons, Bose-Einstein condensate of $K^{-}$ mesons and $Λ$-hyperons for core-collapse supernova and neutron star merger simulations. This EoS table is based on a finite temperature density-dependent relativistic hadron field theory where baryon-baryon interaction is mediated by scalar $σ$, vector $ω$ and $ρ$ mesons, using the parameter set DD2 for nucleons. The repulsive hyperon-hyperon interaction is mediated by an additional strange $ϕ$ meson. The EoS for the $K^-$ condensed matter is also calculated within the framework of relativistic mean field model, whereas the low-density, inhomogeneous matter is calculated in the extended Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium model (NSE). The EoS table is generated for a wide range of values of three parameters - baryon density ($10^{-12}$ to $\sim$ 1 fm$^{-3}$), positive charge fraction(0.01 to 0.60) and temperature(0.1 to 158.48 MeV).

Whether, when, and how does online review matter to buying decisions?
Creators: name: Kim, Rae Yule
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Word of Mouth (WOM) is powerful, and online reviews are the most readily available WOM in electronic commerce. In fact, 82% of American adults see online reviews before making new purchases (Smith and Anderson, 2016). Interestingly, the previous findings of whether or not online review valence influences sales have been inconsistent. In this aspect, the effect of online reviews on sales should be contingent on consumer-level decision making, and thus, the importance of understanding whether and how consumers evaluate online reviews for making purchase decisions cannot be overstated. These three essays investigate how online reviews interact with other promotional signals to predict consumer responses in electronic commerce and add insights into online review literature. The first study investigates if other product quality signals, such as product attribute cues or brandedness, have substantial influences on whether and how consumers evaluate online review valence for making purchase decisions. Online review valence did not matter to buying decisions when product quality was convincing. The second study extends the finding and investigates whether the effect of online review valence on consumer decisions is influenced by good-enough reference points based on the reference effect theory. The findings suggest the marginal effect of online review valence is negative, and subsequently, the effect of online review valence on sales is not linear and also significantly varies by product quality. The third essay investigates how negative reviews can trigger a backlash effect on sales when price promotions are launched. Negative reviews can have a confirmation effect on consumers’ price-quality beliefs. Although managers might be more tempted to offer price discounts for products with negative reviews to compensate for uncompetitiveness in online review sentiments and increase chances of sales, it can provoke the opposite outcome. Price promotions decreased sales likelihood for products with review ratings below three stars (out of five). Especially, launching price promotions for products with extremely negative reviews, such as one to two (out of five) review ratings tended to decrease the chances of sales by 14 to 31%.

description: Intrigued by a recent Belle result for a large direct CP asymmetry in $B^0\to D^+D^-$, we study the effects of a $\bar b\to \bar uu\bar d$ quark transition by combining the asymmetry information with rates and asymmetries in isospin-related decays. Arguing for a hierarchy among several contributions to these decays, including an exchange amplitude which we estimate, we present tests for factorization of the leading terms, and obtain an upper bound on the ratio of $\bar b\to \bar uu\bar d$ and $\bar b\to \bar cc\bar d$ amplitudes. We prove an approximate $ΔI=1/2$ amplitude relation for $B\to D\bar D$, and an approximate equality between CP asymmetries in $B^0\to D^+D^-$ and $B^+\to D^+\bar D^0$. Violations of these relations by Belle measurements, at $1.8σ$ and $3.6σ$ respectively, if confirmed, would indicate a possible New Physics contribution in $\bar b\to \bar uu\bar d$. Applying flavor SU(3), we extend this study to a total of ten processes including $ΔS=0$ decays involving final $D_s$ and initial $B_s$ mesons, and $ΔS=1$ decays of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons into pairs of charmed pseudoscalar mesons. The decays $B_s\to D\bar D$ provide useful information about a small exchange amplitude, responsible for a decay rate difference between $B^+\to D^+\bar D^0$ and $B^0\to D^+D^-$. A method for determining the weak phase $γ$, based on CP asymmetries in $B^0(t)\to D^+D^-$ and the decay rate for $B_s\to D^+_sD^-_s$ or $B^{+(0)}\to D^+_s\bar D^0 (D^-)$, is shown to involve high sensitivity to SU(3) breaking.

Diego Maradona: mito, héroe, símbolo de la subalternidad

description: The death of Argentine football player Diego Maradona on November 25, 2020 caused huge manifestations of public pain. At the same time, it unleashed intense journalistic coverage, which abused words such as myth, symbol, hero, idol and identity. The key question revolved around how far Maradona, an unrivaled athlete and simultaneously a conflictive public figure, for his personal conduct (including sports convictions and criminal cases for drug use) and for his political positions linked to left-wing populism, it could be considered a symbol of a presumed national identity. The work proposes to work on these categories, in the context of three decades of research on the relationship between sport and identities, as well as in relation to some hypotheses about subaltern voices in the contemporary scene.

description: Entre todos los campeones de la historia mundial del deporte, es difícil encontrar un personaje a quien se haya reservado una atención publica mas grande de la que obtuvo Diego Armando Maradona. Si en la Argentina y en Nápoles el Pibe de Oro pudo convertirse con facilidad en un icono de la cultura y de la tradición popular, la resonancia de su figura en vida, y el clamor planetario engendrado por su muerte, nos llevan a pensar mas bien en un fenómeno cultural universal, que encuentra ramas, lecturas, aceptaciones de nivel internacional. El número especial que las revistas FUNES y ERACLE proponen en conjunto, tiene por lo tanto como objetivo investigar, en un plano comparativo y según una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, el alcance global, así como local, del fenómeno Maradona.

NGC4438 and its environment at radio wavelengths

description: We present multi-frequency, radio-continuum and HI observations of NGC4438, the highly-disturbed, active galaxy in the Virgo cluster, with the VLA and the GMRT. High-resolution observations with the VLA at 4860 and 8460 MHz show the presence of an inverted-spectrum radio nucleus located between the highly asymmetric lobes of radio emission. This demonstrates that these lobes arise due to an AGN rather than a compact nuclear starburst. The low-frequency radio continuum observations made with the GMRT detect the extended emission on the western side of the galaxy whose spectral index is flatter at higher frequencies and suggests that it is a mixture of thermal and non-thermal emission. The HI observations show an elongated structure which is displaced by ~4.1 kpc on the western side of NGC4438 and has a size of ~9.8 kpc and a mass of 1.8*10^8 M_sun. The velocity field suggests systematic rotation. We also detect HI emission from the disk of the galaxy with a mass of 1.2*10^8 M_sun. We detect a faint HI tail towards the north of NGC4438 close to a stellar tail seen in deep optical observations. This HI tail has a total extent of ~50 kpc and a mass of 1.4*10^8 M_sun if it is at the distance of NGC4438. The velocity of the HI tail is ~-10 km/s similar to that of HI emission from IC 3355, but the possibility that the tail could be foreground Galactic emission cannot be ruled out. We discuss the different structures in the light of different models.

description: The behavior of complex networks under attack depends strongly on the specific attack scenario. Of special interest are scale-free networks, which are usually seen as robust under random failure or attack but appear to be especially vulnerable to targeted attacks. In a recent study of public transport networks of 14 major cities of the world we have shown that these networks may exhibit scale-free behaviour [Physica A 380, 585 (2007)]. Our further analysis, subject of this report, focuses on the effects that defunct or removed nodes have on the properties of public transport networks. Simulating different attack strategies we elaborate vulnerability criteria that allow to find minimal strategies with high impact on these systems.
