inventory

description: To provide an extensive overview of the diversity of “mountain” VCs configurations, the inventory covers all European mountain regions located in EU Members States and associated countries, and it describes 472 value chains (VCs), including emergent VCs, and those based on circular bio-economy processes, ecosystem service provision, innovative governance methods, novel market strategies, and digital innovations. VCs engaged in the valorisation of cultural and knowledge-based local resources are also included in the inventory. Each VCs is characterized accounting for the local material and non-material assets (e.g., land use, landscape amenities, cultural knowledge) they rely upon, the main human actors managing these resources, and the current (predicted) challenges VCs are (will be) confronted with in face of the foreseen climatic, socioeconomic, and demographic trends. Where present, innovations already in place as well as those envisioned to address those challenges are also described for each VC. Additional geographical, demographic, and socioeconomic data describing the local context each VC is embedded in are also provide in the inventory. Such information is useful to identify commonalities among the VCs present in European mountain regions.  

This inventory is based on a purposive sampling of VCs to select across the European mountain regions located in EU Members States and associated countries, those most representative of each mountain area. Therefore, the inventory does not suggest that any specific VC associated with a geographic area is the only found in this location, but it aims at providing an overview of the diversity of mountain VCs by describing and characterizing a selection of VCs in European mountain areas. Indeed, the VCs selection is framed by the interests and knowledge of the different MOVING partners which span from academia to NGO, passing through companies providing consultancy and advisory services. Therefore, this might imply that some – also potentially interesting – VCs have been ignored and are missing in this inventory.  

Relevant information arises from this inventory. First, agriculture plays a key role in supporting livelihoods of mountain communities, as it is showed by the relatively high number of livestock and plant-based VCs in the inventory. Moreover, the collected VCs strongly rely on the integration of different capital forms (natural, social, cultural) and knowledge with a distinctive local attribute. Innovations identified in the selected VCs is related to new products, as well as – and probably more relevant for the sustainable development of mountain areas – to the way “traditional” products are produced and the values (cultural, nature preservation, etc.) that are attached to them.

description: A key feature of monolayer semiconductors, such as transition-metal dichalcogenides, is the poorly screened Coulomb potential, which leads to large exciton binding energy (Eb) and strong renormalization of the quasiparticle bandgap (Eg) by carriers. The latter has been difficult to determine due to cancellation in changes of Eb and Eg, resulting in little change in optical transition energy at different carrier densities. Here we quantify bandgap renormalization in macroscopic single crystal MoS2 monolayers on SiO2 using time and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES). At excitation density above the Mott threshold, Eg decreases by as much as 360 meV. We compare the carrier density dependent Eg with previous theoretical calculations and show the necessity of knowing both doping and excitation densities in quantifying the bandgap.

description: The angular and frequency correlation functions of the transmission coefficient for light propagation through a strongly scattering amplifying medium are considered. It is found that just as in the case of an elastic scattering medium the correlation function consists of three terms. However, the structure of the terms is rather different. Angular correlation has a power-law decay and exhibits oscillations. There is no "memory effect" as in the case of an elastic medium. Interaction between diffusion modes is strongly enhanced near the lasing threshold. Frequency correlation scale decreases close to the lasing threshold. We also consider time correlations of the transmission in the case of nonstationary inhomogeneities. We find short- and long-range time correlations. The scale of the short-range correlation decreases, while the long-range correlation scale becomes infinite near the threshold.

description: We derive a microscopic expression for the dielectric susceptibility $χ$ of a Coulomb glass, which corresponds to the definition used in classical electrodynamics, the derivative of the polarization with respect to the electric field. The fluctuation-dissipation theorem tells us that $χ$ is a function of the thermal fluctuations of the dipole moment of the system. We calculate $χ$ numerically for three-dimensional Coulomb glasses as a function of temperature and frequency.
Dynamical properties of the finite-size Dicke model coupled to a thermal reservoir

Year: 2018

description: We investigate the dynamical properties of the finite-size Dicke model coupled to a photon reservoir in the dispersive regime. The system-reservoir coupling in our Hamiltonian includes counter-rotating terms, which are relevant in the strong atom-cavity coupling. Because the dispersive regime is considered, the dynamics of low-energy states are described sufficiently accurately within the finite-dimensional subspace of the dressed states. Using the separation of the time scales between the system and the reservoir, we derive the Markovian quantum master equation in the subspace without ignoring the counter-rotating terms. The temporal evolution of the expectation of the cavity mode shows that the bifurcation of the long-lived state corresponds to the superradiant transition in the isolated model. The master equation explicitly gives the steady state solution. The numerical results for the first-order correlation function on the steady state indicate that the strong atom-cavity coupling enhances the coherence and softens the dephasing in the superradiant region.

description: In this paper a new method for recognition of consonant-vowel phonemes combination on a new Persian speech dataset titled as PCVC (Persian Consonant-Vowel Combination) is proposed which is used to recognize Persian phonemes. In PCVC dataset, there are 20 sets of audio samples from 10 speakers which are combinations of 23 consonant and 6 vowel phonemes of Persian language. In each sample, there is a combination of one vowel and one consonant. First, the consonant phoneme is pronounced and just after it, the vowel phoneme is pronounced. Each sound sample is a frame of 2 seconds of audio. In every 2 seconds, there is an average of 0.5 second speech and the rest is silence. In this paper, the proposed method is the implementations of the MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients) on every partitioned sound sample. Then, every train sample of MFCC vector is given to a multilayer perceptron feed-forward ANN (Artificial Neural Network) for training process. At the end, the test samples are examined on ANN model for phoneme recognition. After training and testing process, the results are presented in recognition of vowels. Then, the average percent of recognition for vowel phonemes are computed.

description: We analyze optical data cubes of the nuclear regions of two late-type galaxies, NGC 908 and NGC 1187, obtained with the Integral Field Unit of the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph. Both data cubes show stellar structures consistent with double nuclei. The morphology of the line-emitting areas in the central region of NGC 1187 is also of a double nucleus, while the spatial morphology of the line-emitting areas in the data cube of NGC 908 is consistent with a circumnuclear asymmetric ring. The emission-line ratios of the nuclear spectra (and, actually, along the entire field of view) of both galaxies are characteristic of H II regions. In particular, based on its emission-line properties, the circumnuclear ring in NGC 908 can be identified as a star-forming ring. The observed spatial morphology of the stellar emission and also the differences in the properties of the stellar populations detected in the stellar nuclei of NGC 908 suggest that the most likely scenario to explain the double stellar nucleus in this object involves a minor merger, probably with a high mass ratio. On the other hand, considering the similar properties of the stellar populations in the stellar nuclei of NGC 1187, together with the stellar and gas kinematic properties, we conclude that the most likely scenario to explain the double stellar and gas nucleus in this galaxy involves the stellar and gas kinematics, in the form of a circular nuclear disk subject to perturbations.

description: We investigate spherically symmetric solutions to a recently proposed covariant and locally Lorentz-invariant varying speed of light theory. We find the metrics and variations in $c$ associated with the counterpart of black holes, the outside of a star, and stellar collapse. The remarkable novelty is that $c$ goes to zero or infinity (depending on parameter signs) at the horizon. We show how this implies that, with appropriate parameters, observers are prevented from entering the horizon. Concomitantly stellar collapse must end in a ``Schwarzchild radius'' remnant. We then find formulae for gravitational light deflection, gravitational redshift, radar echo delay, and the precession of the perihelion of Mercury, highlighting how these may differ distinctly from their Einstein counterparts but still evade experimental constraints. The main tell-tale signature of this theory is the prediction of the observation of a different value for the fine structure constant, $α$, in spectral lines formed in the surface of stars. We close by mentioning a variety of new classical and quantum effects near stars, such as aging gradients and particle production.

description: Satellite quantum communications have rapidly evolved in the past few years, culminating in the proposal, development, and deployment of satellite missions dedicated to quantum key distribution and the realization of fundamental tests of quantum mechanics in space. However, in comparison with the more mature technology based on fiber optics, several challenges are still open, such as the capability of detecting, with high temporal accuracy, single photons coming from orbiting terminals. Satellite laser ranging, commonly used to estimate satellite distance, could also be exploited to overcome this challenge. For example, high repetition rates and a low background noise can be obtained by determining the time-of-flight of faint laser pulses that are retro-reflected by geodynamics satellites and then detected on Earth at the single-photon level. Here we report an experiment with regard to achieving a temporal accuracy of approximately 230 ps in the detection of an optical signal of few photons per pulse reflected by satellites in medium Earth orbit, at a distance exceeding 7500 km, by using commercially available detectors. Lastly, the performance of the Matera Laser Ranging Observatory is evaluated in terms of the detection rate and the signal-to-noise ratio for satellite quantum communications.

description: We describe a method to evaluate electronic forces by Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC). Electronic correlations, as well as thermal effects, are included naturally in this method. For fermions, a restricted approach is used to avoid the ``sign'' problem. The PIMC force estimator is local and has a finite variance. We applied this method to determine the bond length of H$_2$ and the chemical reaction barrier of H+H$_2\longrightarrow $H$_2$+H. At low temperature, good agreement is obtained with ground state calculations. We studied the proton-proton interaction in an electron gas as a simple model for hydrogen impurities in metals. We calculated the force between the two protons at two electronic densities corresponding to Na ($r_s=3.93$) and Al ($r_s=2.07$) using a supercell with 38 electrons. The result is compared to previous calculations. We also studied the effect of temperature on the proton-proton interaction. At very high temperature, our result agrees with the Debye screening of electrons. As temperature decreases, the Debye theory fails both because of the strong degeneracy of electrons and most importantly, the formation of electronic bound states around the protons.

description: We developed software for detection of variable stars using CCD photometry. It works with "varfind data" that could be exported after processing CCD frames using C-Munipack. Our goals were maximum automation and support of large fields of view with thousands of stars. The program chooses the comparison stars automatically, processes all time series using multiple comparison stars to get final light curves. Different filtering algorithms are used to reduce the impact of outlying points, imaging artifacts and low quality CCD frames without careful manual time series reduction. We implemented various variable detection indices and plotting two-channel diagrams of selected pair of indices and mean brightness of the star to distinguish variables from constant stars for further manual check of outlying points as variable candidates.

description: Due to the rapid growth of automation, edge computing draws much attention to the AI industry. In some scenarios, for an AI model to practice its functionality requires mere minimum computing performance, for which a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) will be plentiful. Especially in an off-the-grid environment, being able to complete smaller-scale computations by itself and run on batteries or solar power simultaneously empowers this compact computing unit with an indispensable significance. For instance, autopilot requiring instant computing to avoid accidents becomes one of the essential reasons for focusing on utilizing edge computing to refine the capability and possibility of AI. However, Applying the conventional AI model to an FPGA is not intuitive because FPGAs usually have hardware resource scarcity issues limited by their size. Besides the difficulty of the implementation, optimizing the trade-off between size and performance has always been another dilemma of edge device. Since the devices are conceivably installed and located outside or on moving objects, the space available for deployment is minimal; the better the configuration required, the larger the computing unit must be. Installing a gigantic computer on a vehicle is somewhat impractical.

This thesis will introduce the challenges and possible solutions for the previous situation; three different mobile-optimized AI models will be employed, indicating that the optimization can benefit edge computing in solving spatial issues through simulation. The experiment section will focus on the hardware design based on those three different AI models and discuss issues encountered during hardware implementation and the thought process for solving them. The results of the experiment will also be presented and proving the idea is promising and effective.

description: En la actualidad, es común presenciar el desarrollo de aplicaciones de ingeniería orientadas a la rehabilitación de personas, tanto para las que han sufrido accidentes, como para las que poseen deficiencias congénitas. En el caso de las personas cuyas discapacidades son neurológicas, las aplicaciones de rehabilitación o reincorporación, según se busque devolver facultades, o proveer medios de reemplazo para habilidades perdidas, requieren de una interfaz cerebro-computador, que se encarga de interpretar las señales cerebrales de los pacientes y traducirlas para que una computadora pueda interpretarlas. El presente trabajo comprende la implementación de algoritmos de procesamiento y clasificación de señales cerebrales, de manera que se pueda buscar un valor óptimo de eficiencia para el rango admisible de valores del parámetro de regularización; sin embargo, no se realizan diseños de experimentos de adquisición de data, debido a que este campo es interdisciplinario, y se requeriría de profesionales expertos en las otras áreas para el diseño y desarrollo de los mismos. Por esta razón se simularon señales provenientes de un dataset externo, y se explica el experimento de adquisición utilizado para su obtención.

description: The spectacular physical properties of quantum materials based on transition metal, rare earth, and actinide elements continue to challenge our comprehension of solid state physics and chemistry. The electronic states of these materials are dominated by the $d$ and $f$ wave functions intertwined with the strong band formation of the solid. In order to estimate which wave functions contribute to the ground state formation, we have had to rely, until now, on theoretical calculations combined with spectroscopy. Here we show that $s$-core-level non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering ($s$-NIXS) can directly image the active orbital in real space, without the necessity of any modeling. The power and accuracy of this new technique is shown using the text-book example, x$^2$-y$^2$/3$z^2$-r$^2$ orbital of the Ni$^{2+}$ ion in NiO single crystal.

description: Various types of mixed spin two-dimensional Heisenberg networks are investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. This study aims at interpreting quantitatively the thermodynamical properties of two-dimensional molecule-based magnets recently synthesized. The proposed model requires that: (i) one of the two magnetic centers has a spin large enough to be treated as a classical spin; (ii) the zero field Hamiltonian is isotropic; (iii) the quantum spins have only classical spins as neighbours. The quantum Hamiltonian is then replaced by a classical one with effective ferromagnetic interactions. The temperature dependence of both the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility are calculated. The effect of the lattice geometry is analysed.

description: We present a Monte Carlo study of various universal amplitude ratios of the two dimensional q=4 Potts model. We simulated the model close to criticality in both phases taking care to keep the systematic errors, due to finite size effects and logarithmic corrections in the scaling functions, under control. Our results are compatible with those recently obtained using the form-factors approach and with the existing low temperature series for the model.

Spontaneous Spatiotemporal Ordering of Shape Oscillations Enhances Cell Migration

description: The migration of cells is relevant for processes such as morphogenesis, wound healing, and invasion of cancer cells. In order to move, single cells deform cyclically. However, it is not understood how these shape oscillations influence collective properties. Here we demonstrate, using numerical simulations, that the interplay of directed motion, shape oscillations, and excluded volume enables cells to locally "synchronize" their motion and thus enhance collective migration. Our model captures elongation and contraction of crawling ameboid cells controlled by an internal clock with a fixed period, mimicking the internal cycle of biological cells. We show that shape oscillations are crucial for local rearrangements that induce ordering of internal clocks between neighboring cells even in the absence of signaling and regularization. Our findings reveal a novel, purely physical mechanism through which the internal dynamics of cells influences their collective behavior, which is distinct from well known mechanisms like chemotaxis, cell division, and cell-cell adhesion.
Mapping the inner accretion disk of the galactic black hole J1550-564 through its rise to outburst

description: We study the spectral properties of the first 14 observations of the rise to outburst phase of the X-ray transient J1550-564. Using the PCA and HEXTE instruments, we find that the 3-200 keV spectra smoothly pass from a standard low/hard state to a very high state. The classic high state is never encountered possibly indicating that it is not a phenomenon of the rise phase. We find that the individual PCA spectra can be fitted adequately by a disk black body and a thermal Comptonization model which includes reflection. Once the very high state is reached there is clear spectral curvature of the continuum which possibly indicates the presence of a composite thermal/non-thermal plasma. Detailed modelling of the reflection parameters shows a sharp increase in mean ionization at the onset of the transition between the low state and very high state. There is a related variability in the reflected fraction but its exact value depends on the continuum model used. We can constrain the inner radius using relativistic smearing and while there are large uncertainties, the data are incompatible with a disk extending to the last stable orbit in either state. Since the system is on the rise to outburst, the disk instability models strongly imply that there is no standard inner disk at the time the low state spectrum is observed. This is compatible with a truncated disk, filled by an X-ray hot, advection dominated accretion flow. However, magnetic flares above the outbursting disk can also match the observed spectra once the effects of either outflow and/or strong photoionization of the surface of the disk are included.

description: The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) is an X-ray astrophysics payload on the International Space Station. It enables unprecedented high-precision timing of millisecond pulsars without the pulse broadening and delays due to dispersion and scattering within the interstellar medium that plague radio timing. We present initial timing results from a year of data on the millisecond pulsars PSR B1937+21 and PSR J0218+4232, and nine months of data on PSR B1821-24. NICER time-of-arrival uncertainties for the three pulsars are consistent with theoretical lower bounds and simulations based on their pulse shape templates and average source and background photon count rates. To estimate timing stability, we use the $σ_z$ measure, which is based on the average of the cubic coefficients of polynomial fits to subsets of timing residuals. So far we are achieving timing stabilities $σ_z \approx 3 \times 10^{-14}$ for PSR B1937+21 and on the order of $10^{-12}$ for PSRs B1821$-$24 and J0218+4232. Within the span of our \textit{NICER} data we do not yet see the characteristic break point in the slope of $σ_z$; detection of such a break would indicate that further improvement in the cumulative root-mean-square (RMS) timing residual is limited by timing noise. We see this break point in our comparison radio data sets for PSR B1821-24 and PSR B1937+21 on time scales of $> 2$ years.
