La lettura sensuale e molteplice: per un contributo al concetto di performance in Italo Calvino
Creators: name: Rosso, Nadia
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: Starting from the consideration of the difficulty of writing, Calvino writes at the end of the seventies his perhaps most debated novel: If at a winter night a traveller. Fascinated by conceptual art (Paolini, in primis), Calvino elaborates in a fundamental essay, The squaring (1975), the guiding lines of the hiper-novel of ’79 and a personal performative theory of his, through which the reader approaches the reading and the pleasure of the text following a course of cooperation and a construction of the text. Close to the theories of the reception which were being worked out in those same years, Calvino reaches in this way an original vision of writing and reading starting from the elaboration of a «mental space», a moment of extreme synergy and a performative will which is established between the person «who makes» and the one «who looks at» or reads the work of art, ending by changing the inner sintax itself of the text.

Mise-en-scène. Politiche di autorappresentazione e autenticità su YouTube
Creators: name: Sindoni, Maria Grazia
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: YouTube features an exponentially growing collection of video, spoken and audio data that are still unexplored. Handling such data is a challenging undertaking which calls for a multidisciplinary approach, which takes into account the highly complex nature of YouTube texts. This paper sets out to illustrate politics of self-representation and authenticity in a non commercial video on YouTube, with grounding theories provided by systemic-functional grammar (Halliday 1978; Halliday Mathiessen 2004 [1984]) and methods of enquiry from multimodal corpus linguistics (Baldry O’Halloran 2010). In particular, a top viewed and top rated non commercial video will be analyzed as a multimodal “mastertext”, originating a wealth of “metatexts”, i.e. written comments. A corpus-driven study of a sample of ca. 70000 comments will provide insights into interactional dynamics within video-sharing communities and, more specifically, explore transitivity patterns with reference to the Hallidayan experiential metafunction. Despite the apparent randomness and breaking of the relevance maxim (Grice 1975) of such comments, a corpus-driven analysis gives evidence for relatively fixed categorizations on the grounds that transitivity patterns are regular and highly predictable. Examples of material, mental and relational processes endorse this heuristic interpretation.

Derivation and validation of a set of miRNA predictors of month-3 moderate-severe pain following trauma exposure using the AURORA cohort
Creators: name: Lin, Tina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Pain development is common following a traumatic experience. Moderate-severe pain is defined as any severity response of 4 or higher on a 0-10 Numeric Pain Rating Scale for overall body pain and can negatively affect an individual’s quality of life as well as bodily functions. The aim of this thesis is to use data from the Advancing Understanding of RecOvery afteR traumA (AURORA) Study to develop machine learning classification models to accurately classify if a patient will develop month-3 moderate-severe pain following trauma exposure. After data cleaning, imputation, and preprocessing, there were a total of 271 observations and 157 miRNA features. The data were partitioned into a 70:30 train test ratio to exclusively derive the models on the training data and exclusively validate the models on the test data. Data handling, model building, and data analysis were all done in R. I created the logistic regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression, naïve Bayes, random forest, and polynomial support vector machine (SVM) models using the stats, glmnnet, e1071, randomForest, and e1071 packages, respectively. Of the 5 models created, polynomial SVM had the best external accuracy and F1 score at 0.5909 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of (0.4809, 0.6946) and 0.7313, respectively. On the other hand, naïve Bayes overall had the worst external accuracy and F1 score at 0.4886 with a 95% CI of (0.3805, 0.5975) and 0.5455, respectively. Logistic regression had the best external AUC score of 0.5313, followed closely by random forest (AUC = 0.5260) and polynomial SVM (AUC = 0.5209). The performance rates of my models were worse compared with others found in the literature that were used to classify pain following trauma exposure. Improvements to the model building process is needed for better classification of individuals at risk of developing moderate-severe pain following trauma exposure in the early stages when presented to the emergency department.

description: Gossip, rumor and slander are ‘primary discourse genres’ (Bakhtin) characterized by a diegetic structure, a hybrid ontology and a powerful performative value. They are short stories with a particularly strong impact on the transformation of people’s lives and identities. Between the innocent chatter and the murderous slander, we see a colorful spectrum of socially marked speech acts, constitutively suspended between the public and the private domain, psychologically contagious, and narratively marked by different degrees of fictionality. Tracing the transformation from ‘primary’ into ‘secondary discourse genres’, my paper examines and compares some examples of dramatic and narrative representation of gossip, rumor and slander as plotswitching devices, considering their effects on the characters’ evolution.

Magnetic interactions in strongly correlated systems: spin and orbital contributions

description: We present a technique to map an electronic model with local interactions (a generalized multi-orbital Hubbard model) onto an effective model of interacting classical spins, by requiring that the thermodynamic potentials associated to spin rotations in the two systems are equivalent up to second order in the rotation angles. This allows to determine the parameters of relativistic and non-relativistic magnetic interactions in the effective spin model in terms of equilibrium Green's functions of the electronic model. The Hamiltonian of the electronic system includes, in addition to the non-relativistic part, relativistic single-particle terms such as the Zeeman coupling to an external magnetic fields, spin-orbit coupling, and arbitrary magnetic anisotropies; the orbital degrees of freedom of the electrons are explicitly taken into account. We determine the complete relativistic exchange tensors, accounting for anisotropic exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, as well as additional non-diagonal symmetric terms (which may include dipole-dipole interaction). Our procedure provides the complete exchange tensors in a unified framework, including previously disregarded features such as the vertices of two-particle Green's functions and non-local self-energies. We do not assume any smallness in spin-orbit coupling, so our treatment is in this sense exact. Finally, we show how to distinguish and address separately the spin, orbital and spin-orbital contributions to magnetism.

description: Glidcop is an oxide-particle-dispersion strengthened copper composite that has a combination of high mechanical strength and high electrical conductivity. It has been used as a conductor for 100 T ultrahigh field pulsed magnets by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, USA. In the quest for even higher field pulsed magnets, material development is crucial. Since the mechanical properties of a material are often determined by its micro-structure, full characterization of the microstructure of Glidcop is necessary. In this work, we studied the microstructure of Glidcop AL-60 using both transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). We identified both alpha-Al2O3 and cubic eta-Al2O3 nanoparticles in AL-60 and investigated their size and density distribution. The small alumina particles eta-Al2O3 nanoparticles with typical size of 5 to 30 nm are of triangular shape. They have had well defined crystal orientation relation-ship with the Cu matrix. We observed dislocations pinned by the alumina nanoparticles in cold-drawn wires. We believed that dislocation bypassing alumina particles via Orowan looping was the main strengthening mechanism. We observed microcracks near large particles, demonstrating the detrimental effect of large particles in AL-60.

description: Development of REBCO cables that carry high electrical current in high magnetic field is crucial for future large-scale magnet applications. This experimental work presents the critical current measurements of two different REBCO cables by a test facility at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL). The simple-stacked cable is made by the NHMFL by stacking 21 REBCO tapes without soldering. The Conductor-on-Round-Core (CORC) cable provided by Advanced Conductor Technologies has 21 layers of REBCO tapes with 2 tapes/layer. The test facility consists of a 12 T split solenoid magnet with 15 cm bore providing transverse field to the samples, a superconducting transformer (SCT) as a current source providing up to 45 kA current. Special attentions were paid to fabrication of solder joints between REBCO cables and the SCT output. The voltage-current traces were measured as a function of magnetic field at 4.2 K, from which the critical currents are determined. The details of this measurement are discussed.

Nigeria

description: The prevailing attitude towards LGBTQ people in Nigeria is generally hostile. This has led to the criminalization of homosexual activities which means that LGBTQ people risk up to 14 years in prison for expressing their sexual orientation. This institutionalization of anti-gay sentiments has also exposed LGBTQ people to discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying, physical and mental torture. This is contrary to the spirit of inclusive society being promoted all over the world and which is needed for sustainable development. One of the means of justifying the discrimination and violence against LGBTQ people in Nigeria is the distortion of facts, emotional blackmail, and scare-mongering among the general populace. As a result, the best way to counter this narrative and support LGBTQ people in Nigeria is through purposeful, consistent and comprehensive collection of data which will then be strategically communicated to different audiences in order to modify attitude, policies and create a safe environment for LGBTQ people in Nigeria. However, there is an acute lack of data on LGBTQ issues in Nigeria with the available data scattered in unstructured and disparate sources making it difficult for researchers and activists to obtain a true picture of issues relating to LGBTQ people in Nigeria and effectively advocate for the decriminalization of gay activities in Nigeria. This paper therefore aims to explore how data science in the form of data mining and data visualization can be used to support a robust advocacy for gay rights in Nigeria. It will also analyse the available sources of data on LGBTQ people in Nigeria, efforts targeted at data collection and tools that can be used to create a reliable data bank for researchers, activists and right groups supporting the LGBTQ people in Nigeria.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been recently proposed as appealing candidate materials for spintronic applications owing to their distinctive atomic crystal structure and exotic physical properties arising from the large bonding anisotropy. Here we introduce the first MoS2-based spin-valves that employ monolayer MoS2 as the nonmagnetic spacer. In contrast with what expected from the semiconducting band-structure of MoS2, the vertically sandwiched-MoS2 layers exhibit metallic behavior. This originates from their strong hybridization with the Ni and Fe atoms of the Permalloy (Py) electrode. The spin-valve effect is observed up to 240 K, with the highest magnetoresistance (MR) up to 0.73% at low temperatures. The experimental work is accompanied by the first principle electron transport calculations, which reveal an MR of ~ 9% for an ideal Py/MoS2/Py junction. Our results clearly identify TMDs as a promising spacer compound in magnetic tunnel junctions and may open a new avenue for the TMDs-based spintronic applications.
Guardare il Tanztheater: una riflessione sulla fruizione del teatro di Pina Bausch
Creators: name: Trefiletti, Chiara
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: This contribution aims at analysing Pina Bausch’s theatrical activity as an example of some tendencies in contemporary performing art – with a special eye on the domains of emotionality and empathy. The analysis starts off some formal aspects of Tanztheater which are characterised by a strong compositional synergy and result in an interconnection of corporal, visual and sonic elements that create peculiar and complex tempos and play structures. Emotionality is the true core of Pina Bausch’s creative work: using the figurative power of the images represented, Pina Bausch does not just show: she evokes, suggests and refers to. The performance involves the audience in a multisensory and synaesthetic way; the staging is where the artist’s creation meets the viewer’s sensitivity meets the public’s response.

Subjects: Public-private sector cooperation

description: This thesis is a case study of three B Corporations’ engagement in cross-sector collaboration (CSC) and the (expected) public value creation associated with collaboration. An exploratory case study is used to gather data on B Corp leaders' attitudes and operations related to CSC with the public and nonprofit sectors. In-depth qualitative interviews conducted with key leaders representing B Corps from three public facing industries — healthcare, education, and environment — provide results on the nature of B Corp-involved CSC initiatives. Based on the case study, these collaborations are particularly successful between B Corps and the public sector at the local level. Additionally, findings support the conclusion that CSC initiatives involving B Corps result in stronger substantive outcomes when they exhibit stronger levels of “democratic accountability” and “procedural legitimacy.” The thesis concludes that increased coordination by public sector stakeholders (particularly on the local level) to engage/partner with B Corps has the potential to mutually benefit stakeholders and create meaningful public value. Understanding the current nature of B Corp-involved CSC initiatives and the public value creation associated support recommendations on how to capitalize on the value of B Corps as cross-sector stakeholders.

description: Background: As the climate and environmental crises unfold, eco-anxiety, defined as anxiety about the crises’ devastating consequences for life on earth, affects mental health worldwide. Despite its importance, research on eco-anxiety is currently limited by a lack of validated assessment instruments available in different languages. Recently, Hogg and colleagues proposed a multidimensional approach to assess eco-anxiety. Here, we aim to translate the original English Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS) into German and to assess its reliability and validity in a German sample. Methods: Following the TRAPD (translation, review, adjudication, pre-test, documentation) approach, we translated the original English scale into German. In total, 486 participants completed the German HEAS. We used Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess whether the four-factorial model of the original English version could be replicated in the German sample. Furthermore, associations with a variety of emotional reactions towards the climate crisis, general depression, anxiety, and stress were investigated. Results: The German HEAS was internally consistent (Cronbach’s alphas 0.71–0.86) and the Bayesian CFA showed that model fit was best for the four-factorial model, comparable to the factorial structure of the original English scale (affective symptoms, rumination, behavioral symptoms, anxiety about personal impact). Weak to moderate associations were found with negative emotional reactions towards the climate crisis and with general depression, anxiety, and stress. Discussion: Our results support the original four-factorial model of the scale and indicate that the German HEAS is a reliable and valid scale to assess eco-anxiety in German speaking populations.

description: In this thesis, we presented three studies that explore adsorbates or acceptor layers for enhancing diamond’s properties in the development of stable, high powered and radio frequency electronic devices. These studies implemented Density Functional Theory methods. The goal of this thesis was to understand the interactions between diamond surfaces and several types of adsorbate/acceptor layer molecules and to analyze the structure as well as the charge dynamics across the interface. In each chapter, we addressed the three critical elements for surface doped diamond devices, which are 1) the diamond surface, 2) the diamond-adsorbate/acceptor layer interface, and 3) the adsorbate/acceptor layer. The first chapter covers the effect of various degrees of surface coverage of H- and O-related terminating species and their combinations on structural and electronic properties of diamond (100) surfaces. The second chapter presents a study of the interesting surface chemistry taking place at the interface between the H-terminated diamond surface and NxOy molecules by analyzing the structural and electronic properties. In the final chapter, a systematic theoretical approach to engineer the intrinsic electrochemical properties of the MoO3 surface through substitutional doping technique that enhances the surface conductivity of the interfacing diamond surface is presented.

description: Hexagonal alpha-Ru trichloride single crystals exhibit a strong magnetic anisotropy and we show that upon applying fields up to 14 T in the honeycomb plane the successive magnetic order at T1 = 14 K and T2 = 8 K could be completely suppressed whereas in the perpendicular direction the magnetic order is robust. Furthermore the field dependence of chi(T) implies coexisting ferro- and antiferromagnetic exchange between in-plane components of Ru^3+-spins, whereas for out-of-plane components a strong antiferromagnetic exchange becomes evident. 101^Ru zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance in the ordered state evidence a complex (probably non coplanar chiral) long-range magnetic structure. The large orbital moment on Ru^3+ is found in density-functional calculations.

description: This paper estimates the value of improvements in the quality of freshwater angling sites in England, combining the results of stated preference (SP) models and a revealed preference (RP) model of the anglers’ actual choices of fishing sites and number of trips over a season. The paper provides comprehensive information into what anglers value and how much, considering all fishery types (coarse, game, and mixed) and water body types (river, stillwater, and canal) and a wide range of fish species. The study also considers several locational characteristics of the fishing sites, which have seldom been included in either SP or RP studies. We found that anglers attach a substantial value to lack of pollution, availability of pegs, and an attractive site environment. On average, the maximum possible improvement in one of these attributes in a given site more than doubles the number of visitors to that site and generates a total additional benefit of more than £10 per existing trip. Increases in fish size and quantity are also predicted to cause considerable changes in the number of visits and additional benefit, especially when moving from small/low to medium levels.

description: The mechanisms underlying the formation and retrieval of memories are still an active area of research and discussion. Manifold models have been proposed and refined over the years, with most assuming a dichotomy between memory processes involving non-conscious and conscious mechanisms. Despite our incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms, tests of memory and learning count among the most performed behavioral experiments. Here, we will discuss available protocols for testing learning and memory using the example of the most prevalent animal species in research, the laboratory mouse. A wide range of protocols has been developed in mice to test, e.g., object recognition, spatial learning, procedural memory, sequential problem solving, operant- and fear conditioning, and social recognition. Those assays are carried out with individual subjects in apparatuses such as arenas and mazes, which allow for a high degree of standardization across laboratories and straightforward data interpretation but are not without caveats and limitations. In animal research, there is growing concern about the translatability of study results and animal welfare, leading to novel approaches beyond established protocols. Here, we present some of the more recent developments and more advanced concepts in learning and memory testing, such as multi-step sequential lockboxes, assays involving groups of animals, as well as home cage-based assays supported by automated tracking solutions; and weight their potential and limitations against those of established paradigms. Shifting the focus of learning tests from the classical experimental chamber to settings which are more natural for rodents comes with a new set of challenges for behavioral researchers, but also offers the opportunity to understand memory formation and retrieval in a more conclusive way than has been attainable with conventional test protocols. We predict and embrace an increase in studies relying on methods involving a higher degree of automatization, more naturalistic- and home cage-based experimental setting as well as more integrated learning tasks in the future. We are confident these trends are suited to alleviate the burden on animal subjects and improve study designs in memory research.

description: We report the synthesis and superconducting properties of a new transition-metal chalcogenide Ta$_2$PdSe$_5$. The measurements of resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat reveal that Ta$_2$PdSe$_5$ is a bulk superconductor with $T_c$ $\simeq$ 2.5 K. The zero-field electronic specific heat in the superconducting state can be fitted with a two-gap BCS model. The upper critical field $H_{c2}$ shows a linear temperature dependence, and the value of $H_{c2}$(0) is much higher than the estimated Pauli limiting field $H_{c2}^{P}$ and orbital limiting field $H_{c2}^{orb}$. All these results of specific heat and upper critical field suggest that Ta$_2$PdSe$_5$ is a multi-band superconductor.

The Feminine and Masculine appear as unstable and hybrid signs, through a perturbing strategy of displacement and disguise, according to the Joppolo and Audiberti’s abhumanism theory: fusion of the opposites, that are reconciled in a panic and fully developed monad identity. The inversion of traditional gender’s roles, with the body and its masks (fetish-clothes) in erotic metamorphosis – changing also language, behavioral positions, self-perception –, happens on several levels; and the relationship between the sexes turns from physical encounter into metaphysical consistency.

description: Many biological systems can sense periodical variations in a stimulus input and produce well-timed, anticipatory responses after the input is removed. Such systems show memory effects for retaining timing information in the stimulus and cannot be understood from traditional synchronization consideration of passive oscillatory systems. To understand this anticipatory phenomena, we consider oscillators built from excitable systems with the addition of an adaptive dynamics. With such systems, well-timed post-stimulus responses similar to those from experiments can be obtained. Furthermore, a well-known model of working memory is shown to possess similar anticipatory dynamics when the adaptive mechanism is identified with synaptic facilitation. The last finding suggests that this type of oscillators can be common in neuronal systems with plasticity.

description: With the development of complex microfluidic systems, biomedical field has witnessed a revolutionary change in the way biological analyses are performed that are otherwise unattainable using conventional laboratory methods. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based microfluidic chips have enabled high parallelization, i.e. testing thousands of samples simultaneously, allowing researchers to make sound decisions in a single run. For example, spatial transcriptomic data that plays a vital role in cancer research and developmental biology can now be retained by microfluidic devices that are capable of delivering barcoded DNA tags to a tissue sample. However, reservoirs used for storing the DNA barcodes are fabricated by manually punching through the PDMS layer. There is no current method that allows us to create multiple of these through holes simultaneously. Manual punching is unreliable because not only is it time consuming but also requires skilled personnel to create those through-holes without leaving any PDMS debris inside the microchannels. This gives rise to a need for an easy interface fabrication method so that researchers take advantage of microfluidic systems and continue to explore high resolution spatial transcriptomic data through increased number of holes. Hence, my research focusses on exploring a fabrication approach to create multiple through-holes in PDMS. To do that, I have explored the utilisation of a vulcanizer. The parameters that greatly influence the fabrication of through-holes such as PDMS degassing and curing times, curing temperature and the amount of weight that needs to be exerted on the PDMS layer during the curing process were optimized to a certain value to produce repeatability. The advantages that the one-step through-hole fabrication method possesses in comparison to manual punching technique was studied. The validity of the approach was tested by creating a microfluidic device involving 100 number of reservoirs and applying it to the context of spatial transcriptomics. I checked the proper delivery of barcodes using the microfluidic design using fluorescent labels. This signifies that further binding of DNA barcodes to the tissue sample can be achieved and researchers can make use of spatial transcriptomics to its full potential by increasing through-holes.

description: Patients with the COVID-19 infection may have pneumonia-like symptoms as well as respiratory problems which may harm the lungs. From medical images, coronavirus illness may be accurately identified and predicted using a variety of machine learning methods. Most of the published machine learning methods may need extensive hyperparameter adjustment and are unsuitable for small datasets. By leveraging the data in a comparatively small dataset, few-shot learning algorithms aim to reduce the requirement of large datasets. This inspired us to develop a few-shot learning model for early detection of COVID-19 to reduce the post-effect of this dangerous disease. The proposed architecture combines few-shot learning with an ensemble of pre-trained convolutional neural networks to extract feature vectors from CT scan images for similarity learning. The proposed Triplet Siamese Network as the few-shot learning model classified CT scan images into Normal, COVID-19, and Community-Acquired Pneumonia. The suggested model achieved an overall accuracy of 98.719%, a specificity of 99.36%, a sensitivity of 98.72%, and a ROC score of 99.9% with only 200 CT scans per category for training data.

description: The chiral dynamics of the doubly heavy baryons is solely governed by the light quark. In this work, We have derived the chiral corrections to the mass of the doubly heavy baryons up to N$^3$LO. The mass splitting of $Ξ_{cc}$ and $Ω_{cc}$ at the N$^2$LO depends on one unknown low energy constant $c_7$. With the experimental mass of $Ξ_{cc}(3520)$ as the input, we estimate the mass of $Ω_{cc}$ to be around 3.678 GeV. Moreover, we have also performed a systematical analysis of the chiral corrections to the axial currents and axial charges of the doubly heavy baryons. The chiral structure and analytical expressions will be very useful to the chiral extrapolations of the future lattice QCD simulations of the doubly heavy baryons.

Racist Tropes in HIV Prevention Advertisement Strategies in the USA

description: PrEP is a medication that, when taken once a day by an HIV negative person, prevents HIV transmission with a very high efficacy and low rate of adverse symptoms. This medication has been widely available since its approval by the FDA in 2012, however, the demographics of PrEP users in the USA do not reflect those most at risk for HIV infection; PrEP’s user base is primarily white gay men, while black gay and bisexual men and transgender women experience low rates of PrEP uptake, despite these communities having disproportionately higher rates of HIV transmission. Advertisement and pharmaceutical companies have increased the representation of queer Black people in ads to respond to this disparity. However, this increase in representation raises questions about the efficacy of representation as a source of liberation, especially considering the presence of the racist trope of medical non-compliance among Black patients. This thesis analyzes groups of public-facing PrEP advertisements for their racial demographics and adherence to anti-Black tropes. Additionally, this project hopes to identify the ways in which medical racism, and the power imbalances inherent to the doctor-patient relationship as it exists today, impact the racial disparities in PrEP usage.

description: Euclidean distance matrices (EDM) are matrices of squared distances between points. The definition is deceivingly simple: thanks to their many useful properties they have found applications in psychometrics, crystallography, machine learning, wireless sensor networks, acoustics, and more. Despite the usefulness of EDMs, they seem to be insufficiently known in the signal processing community. Our goal is to rectify this mishap in a concise tutorial. We review the fundamental properties of EDMs, such as rank or (non)definiteness. We show how various EDM properties can be used to design algorithms for completing and denoising distance data. Along the way, we demonstrate applications to microphone position calibration, ultrasound tomography, room reconstruction from echoes and phase retrieval. By spelling out the essential algorithms, we hope to fast-track the readers in applying EDMs to their own problems. Matlab code for all the described algorithms, and to generate the figures in the paper, is available online. Finally, we suggest directions for further research.

description: Uncovering the atomic scale mechanisms and their rate constants is often the first step towards understanding the dynamical behaviour of a material. Over the years, the molecular dynamics (MD) method has been a reliable workhorse by providing such kinetic information. However, when atomic scale events happen rarely at timescales accessible to MD it is more useful to apply a MD-based rare-event acceleration technique. We review a rare-event acceleration technique called the Temperature Programmed MD (TPMD). TPMD has been particularly effective with thermally-activated rare events on corrugated energy landscapes. Several fundamental aspects of the TPMD method are discussed including the temperature programme, deconvoluting the TPMD output to recover the rate constants for kinetic pathways, reconstructing unbiased dynamical trajectories from TPMD, as well as new schemes to optimise TPMD calculations. Sample scripts demonstrating the implementation of TPMD using the LAMMPS package, source codes for analysis, and user instructions have been provided.
