description: Based on the microscopic model including strong spin-orbit coupling, on-site Coulomb and Hund's interactions, as well as crystal field effects, we have investigated magnetic and optical properties of Sr2IrO4. Taking into account all possible intermediate state multiplets generated by virtual hoppings of electrons, we calculated the isotropic Heisenberg, pseudodipolar, and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling constants, which describe the experiment quite well. We have also evaluated the optical conductivity σ(ω) by employing the exact diagonalization method on small clusters, and obtained two peaks at \sim 0.5 and \sim 1.0 eV in agreement with experiment. The two peak structure of σ(ω) arises from the unusual Fano-type overlap between electron-hole continuum of the Jeff = 1/2 band and the intrasite spin-orbit exciton observed recently in Sr2IrO4 by resonant x-ray scattering.

description: Many large composite structures are manufactured using sandwich laminates to achieve high specific bending strength and stiffness. Examples include wind turbine blades, where self-weight becomes increasingly important as blade size increases. Resin infusion of three-dimensional sandwich laminates can result in complex resin flow paths, and subsequent defect formation, which are difficult to predict. The core material used for sandwich construction and its interaction with liquid resins may also influence the formation of defects, and in the case of balsa this effect can be used to reduce defect severity. In order to evaluate the effect of cored sandwich laminate construction on the formation of defects, this thesis concentrates on the characterisation of commonly used core materials and their interaction with liquid resin under high vacuum conditions. It also considers two numerical flow-modelling packages which are shown to be effective at the prediction of flow front convergence for monolithic laminate, but over-estimate defect severity when modelling air- permeable cored laminates. For balsa core, experiments indicate that the available pore space can act as sink for trapped air, which can aid the reduction of defects where multiple flow fronts converge due to the complexity of flow in sandwich laminates. Empirical data for air absorption and desorption rates in balsa core were obtained using a custom-designed experiment. Using these data a theoretical model was developed that can indicate available pore space, which can inform optimum processing conditions, such as time under vacuum. The diffusion coefficients obtained for air absorption and desorption in balsa are very similar, and lie in the middle of published ranges for hard woods at around 2 x 10 -7 m2/s. The methodology developed for this research project represents actual behaviour of air absorption/desorption during resin infusion, whilst other techniques do not, merely measuring diffusion of air through a sample not allowing for finite pore space. In consequence, infusion strategies can be planned more precisely because core/resin interaction is better understood. Knit line defect formation could be predicted with greater accuracy with suitably modified flow-modelling programs.

Band taut sutured manifolds

description: Attaching a 2-handle to a genus two or greater boundary component of a 3-manifold is a natural generalization of Dehn filling a torus boundary component. We prove that there is an interesting relationship between an essential surface in a sutured 3-manifold, the number of intersections between the boundary of the surface and one of the sutures, and the cocore of the 2-handle in the manifold after attaching a 2-handle along the suture. We use this result to show that tunnels for tunnel number one knots or links in any 3-manifold can be isotoped to lie on a branched surface corresponding to a certain taut sutured manifold hierarchy of the knot or link exterior. In a subsequent paper, we use the theorem to prove that band sums satisfy the cabling conjecture, and to give new proofs that unknotting number one knots are prime and that genus is superadditive under band sum. To prove the theorem, we introduce band taut sutured manifolds and prove the existence of band taut sutured manifold hierarchies.

Subjects: language, tourism, discours, culture, power, advertisement

description: Since 1995, tourism leads the economical base of Costa Rica. The ecological tourism has been the most developed since the biodiversity is internationally accepted; whereas the cultural tourism is embryonic as well as combined with other alternatives.
In this paper, we are going to analyze the lexicon used in three texts on discursive genre “guide book”   taken from the Communal and Rural Handbook of Tourism and an advertising brochure. We compare the lexicon of an official text with two others from the communal-rural tourism, in relation to cultural and environmental tourism from different places of the country.
With the fundamental presumption that tourism as economical enterprise or cultural industry uses publicity with the purpose of capturing the diverse kinds of population and selling their offer; we take the theoretical referents of the language of tourism and some other elements of the critical analysis of discourse.
It is important to mention that for a long time, the cultural diversity was left out, and the touristic development of the country covered up the physical presence or the cultural legacy of some components of the national population. Nevertheless, with the development of the touristic activity it is used the image of pluralism in the regional plans for the development of the region.
In the every day offer are included hiking on paths and some other cultural traditions. Utterances are reaffirmed in the lexicon plan, which allude to touristic repertoire of principal ideas as well as enhances the authenticity of the offer.

Design and characterization of a dumbbell micro-ring resonator reflector
Creators: name: Yun, Han
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: A dumbbell shape micro-ring resonator reflector fabricated using the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology for use as a reflective notch filter is presented. The development of this dumbbell micro-ring reflector is motivated by the increasing demand for highly confined resonant structures as integrated optical components in modern optical communication and sensor applications. In this thesis, we have analyzed and simulated the reflection properties of dumbbell micro-ring reflectors based on SOI strip waveguides. We have optimized our design based on the analytic modeling and simulation results and had our devices fabricated at a foundry. An automated optical probe station has been developed for characterizing the performance of the fabricated dumbbell micro-ring reflectors. Measurement results on the reflection spectrum showed an extinction ratio of 20 dB with a quality factor of ~11,000. Thermal tuning responses showed the potential for those resonators in sensor applications.

In particular we show that it can accommodate the DAMA, CoGeNT and CRESST experimental results. Assuming conservative bounds, this candidate is shown not to be ruled out by the CDMS, XENON and PICASSO experiments. We offer an analytic understanding of how the long-range interaction modifies the experimental allowed regions, in the cross section versus Dark Matter mass parameter space, with respect to the typically assumed contact interaction. Finally, in the context of a symmetric Dark Matter sector, we determine the associated thermal relic density, and further provide relevant constraints imposed by indirect searches and colliders.

title: Cultural Infrastructure: Cisterns as Urban Artifacts Shaping the City of Yazd
Creators: name: Malekpour Bahabadi, Najmeh
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: Today we face dual humanitarian crises: ancient monuments are crumbling, while water shortages threaten human survival. On the one hand, the effects of global warming place vast populations out of reach of fresh drinking water. On the other hand, advanced late-stage capitalism continues to propagate models of urban sprawl that do not value architectural heritage. This research expands the canon of architectural history to study a little-known water infrastructure that has come to define some Persian desert cities. Yazd is a city in the arid central plateau of present-day Iran that was built around a water source in the Shirkuh mountain range. This water source established Yazd as an important stop on an ancient trade route, the secondary branch of the Silk Road. Water structures and facilities, including ab-anbars (cisterns for local water access), located on qanats (elaborate underground canals that guided the city’s development), channel water from nearby mountains, utilizing extraordinary cooling towers that punctuate the urban skyline and act as social hubs for local communities. This research considers the contemporary water crisis of Yazd to bring attention to the forces that allowed these ancient water structures to shape the city both historically and today after losing their initial function. In particular, the following pages focus on cisterns as an architectural typology. The implication is that cisterns comprise a generic architectural form that is bound to the public space and public buildings of the city. Using analytical drawings, the research aims to identify the significance of a building type in forming the city. Such typologies are of particular value for discussing both a building’s singleness and shared features. In other words, this research is an investigation concerned not only with the forms of buildings, but also with the external forces that shape those buildings. As such, the cisterns act like a grammar for a city whose history is shaped by water and architecture.

description: Since a few years ago, travelling was often a dramatic experience for tourists with disabilities. Services and devices necessary to guarantee a comfortable journey usually were not made available neither by public touristic operators nor by private ones. More things must be done in the future to improve the services and devices , but the tourism concept idea has already evolved in the last ten years. The focus is now on the wellbeing of people. The first quality standard is the respect of the personal needs and the easy way to have access to all the facilities, the information and the services.
In the article a proposal of accessible tourism for deaf people will be presented. Up to now, to enjoy a cultural visit, a deaf tourist usually must have to contact a specialized guide - not always available - who knows the sign language. The intent is to offer the possibility to have always access to touristic and cultural contents in a direct and complete way.
We will present the first linguistic studies about sign language and its most important peculiarities. We will discuss the difference between interpretation and translation in sign language and it will presented the translation experience from Italian to Italian Sign Language (LIS) of a Venice touristic guide, that evolved in an academic spin-off project (VEASYT srl, www.veasyt.com).

description: This essay, which relies mostly on a cultural studies approach, aims to highlight the discursive and semiotic strategies which have defined official tourism promotion in South Africa since the end of apartheid. In particular, hosting the FIFA World Cup, a mega-event which placed the Country at the crossroads of international touristic flows in 2010, was not so much a finishing line, but rather a turning point for the self-refashioning of the country’s image. Shedding stereotyped definitions such as “the country of the big five”, South African Tourism has rebranded itself so as to mirror the new, complex reality and international status achieved by the nation since the advent of freedom. South Africa’s new public imaginary resembles a challenging, richly-textured prism, whose multiple facets concur to articulate a domestic discourse of reconciliation and unity along with the international projection of a powerful national identity, rebranded for the 21st century. By focusing on the promotion of so diverse branches of tourism as wildlife and conservation, township tourism and sport mega-events, this article aims to shed light on South Africa’s extraordinary achievement in nation-branding over the last decade, and on the way this process has been transformed into an effective tool of nation-building and public diplomacy

In the both cases the gap equations indicate the parity-broken phase exists and the pion becomes massless on the phase boundaries. We also show we can take the chiral and continuum limit in the Gross-Neveu model by tuning mass and gauge-coupling parameters. This supports the idea that the staggered-Wilson fermions can be applied to the lattice QCD simulation by taking a chiral limit, as with Wilson fermions.

On the Use of Shor States for the [7,1,3] Quantum Error Correcting Code

description: We explore the effect of Shor state construction methods on logical state encoding and quantum error correction for the [[7,1,3]] Calderbank-Shor-Steane quantum error correction code in a nonequiprobable error environment. We determine the optimum number of verification steps to be used in Shor state construction and whether Shor states without verification are usable for practical quantum computation. These results are compared to the same processes of encoding and error correction where Shor states are not used. We demonstrate that the construction of logical zero states with no first order error terms may not require the complete edifice of quantum fault tolerance. With respect to error correction, we show for a particular initial state that error correction using a single qubit for syndrome measurement yields a similar output state accuracy to error correction using Shor states as syndrome qubits. In addition, we demonstrate that error correction with Shor states has an inherent sensitivity to bit-flip errors. Finally, we suggest that in this type of error correction scenario one should always repeat a syndrome measurement until attaining an all zero readout (twice in row).

The proceeding tries to es¬ta¬blish by a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques the formal rela¬tion between cartesian landscape and socioeconomy with the aim of explaining the im¬pli¬cations of the actual socioeconomic changes in the maintenance of landscape.
Fuerteventura’s economy is heavily dependent on tourism, and precisely because of that, it is having rapid socioeconomic changes. The proceeding has not been totally realized yet in this context, but will be exposed a part of the results obtained so far on the analysis of the socioeconomic characteristics of Fuerteventura.

description: Asymptotic decay laws for planar and nonplanar shock waves and the first order associated discontinuities that catch up with the shock from behind are obtained using four different approximation methods. The singular surface theory is used to derive a pair of transport equations for the shock strength and the associated first order discontinuity, which represents the effect of precursor disturbances that overtake the shock from behind. The asymptotic behaviour of both the discontinuities is completely analysed. It is noticed that the decay of a first order discontinuity is much faster than the decay of the shock; indeed, if the amplitude of the accompanying discontinuity is small then the shock decays faster as compared to the case when the amplitude of the first order discontinuity is finite (not necessarily small). It is shown that for a weak shock, the precursor disturbance evolves like an acceleration wave at the leading order. We show that the asymptotic decay laws for weak shocks and the accompanying first order discontinuity are exactly the ones obtained by using the theory of nonlinear geometrical optics, the theory of simple waves using Riemann invariants, and the theory of relatively undistorted waves. It follows that the relatively undistorted wave approximation is a consequence of the simple wave formalism using Riemann invariants.

We impose boundary conditions aimed at singling out among those perturbations those describing the backreaction of anti-D2 branes on the CGLP background. The corresponding supergravity solution is a would-be dual to a metastable supersymmetry-breaking state. However, it turns out that this candidate bulk solution is inevitably riddled with IR divergences of its flux densities and action, whose physical meaning and implications for models of string cosmology call for further investigation.

description: The case of Sesto San Giovanni (SSG), a town marked by a previously intense industrial development then into an equally fast decline of production, may show effectively the impact of the urban regeneration, with the implied redesign of landscape and land policies. The whole process of gradual dismissal of manufacturing, the dynamics of industrial restructuring and the urban processes of recovery, reuse, reclamation and enhancement are triggering a wide debate among geographers and in other fields of research. Being probably the most complex product of human civilization, the city is obviously the most sophisticated and clarifying subject for territorial, social, economical, anthropological, linguistic and cultural studies. As a territorial framework, it is difficult to conceive globally: its boundaries are unstable, and its shapes tend to change very quickly. SSG entered the twenty-first century as a "visible city", a place where its dwellers, old and new, may find at the same time the marks of history and the signs of urban regeneration. However, SSG is also an “invisible city”, soaked with a symbolic heritage that requires protection, preservation and enhancement. Precisely for this reason the municipality decided to apply for UNESCO’s support, in order to protect its industrial heritage. Symbols, signs and values, at the same time, may prove a great resource to be moulded and exploited in terms of  major events such as the International Expo scheduled for 2015, which could prove a great opportunity for the city.

description: The Rattleback is a very popular science toy shown to students all over the world to demonstrate the non-triviality of rotational motion. When spun on a horizontal table, this boat-shaped object behaves in a peculiar way. Although the object appears symmetric, the dynamics of its motion seem very asymmetric. When spun in the preferred direction, it spins smoothly, whereas in the other direction it starts to oscillate wildly. The oscillation soon dies out and the rattleback starts to spin in the preferred way. We will construct and go through an analytical model capable of explaining this behaviour in a simple and intelligible way. Although we aim at a semi-pedagogical treatise, we will study the details only when they are necessary to understand the calculation. After presenting the calculations we will discuss the physical validity of our assumptions and take a look at more sophisticated models requiring numerical analysis. We will then improve our model by assuming a simple friction force.

Glocal Features of In-flight Magazines: when Local Becomes Global. An Explorative Study
Creators: name: Maci, Stefania Maria
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: English; Tourism; globalization

description: In-flights are magazines distributed by commercial airlines to their passengers and contain news items concerning travel, business and general-interest features, including tourist resorts. The choice of resorts to be described in in-flight magazines seems to depend on the destinations reached by the flights and apparently reflects a cultural and business tendency to focus tourists’ attention not just on popular destinations but also on less frequently advertised or less traditional tourism localities, and to invest in the rediscovery of local identities. Such rediscovery allows the exportation of local tourism to an international audience, thus providing considerable financial advantages.
It is the purpose of this paper to investigate the multimodal and linguistic strategies adopted by in-flight magazines so as to allow the local to become global. The analysis, based on a corpus of ten monthly in-flight magazines published in English and collected between 2009 and 2010, will try to define the linguistic conventions and constraints of this genre. In addition, attention will focus on the extent to which iconicity and interdiscursivity permeate the discourse of tourism in in-flight magazines. The resulting data seem to suggest that the airline industry tends to adopt marketing strategies aimed at promoting and differentiating national interests in an international context. The easiest way to do so is to present themselves as global. By highlighting this characteristic, airline companies construct a global reality which the international, and therefore global, traveller experiences

title: DEPRECATED: NURSES' ATTITUDES AND NURSE-PATIENT INTERACTIONS ON A PAEDIATRIC WARD
Creators: name: CURTIS, ELIZABETH ANNE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: Despite the potentially very significant role of nurses in mitigating against the negative effects of hospitalisation on children, the attitudes and behaviour of paediatric nurses towards patients have been largely ignored within the literature. This study, therefore, aimed to consider paediatric nurses' attitudes and their interactions with patients and, in particular, to investigate the relationship between these two variables. However, in contrast with similar studies in other specialties, nurses' attitudes and behaviour were considered at a general and individual patient level. A general attitude measure, the Paediatric Attitude Scale (PAS), was developed during the first part of the study and indicated that nurses' attitudes towards patients as a whole tended to be tolerant and patient-centred. Nurses' interactions with patients were mainly positive and, in contrast with previous research, regularly occurred outside of the normal nursing routine. In addition, almost half of all nurse-patient interactions contained a social component. As predicted, no significant association was evident between nurses' scores on the PAS and their general behaviour with patients. However, modest associations with correlation ratios of between 0.10 and 0.16 were found between nurses' attitudes towards individual patients (as measured by ranking scales) and the quality, duration and, to a lesser extent, the number of interactions with those particular patients. Indeed, the results suggested that patients who were liked more and who were considered easier to nurse tended to receive interactions which were more positive and longer than patients who were liked less and who were perceived to be more 'difficult'. However, the actual differences between interaction scores for particular patients were relatively small and their clinical significance in terms of the impact on children and the need to modify nursing practice is, therefore, debatable.

description: The paper Mega-events: a privileged observatory on the reconfiguration of spaces, landscapes and identities in the contemporary city. The case of Zaragoza 2008 proposes an analysis of urban restoration processes in contemporary European cities, through the case study of Zaragoza. Zaragoza represents a useful case study in order to point out how contemporary cities face the economic and social transition, from the traditional industrial model to the contemporary response to global urban challenges. The case of Zaragoza synthesizes the main strategies adopted by local administrations in reshaping cities, adopting urban renewal programs and policies. The transformation of Zaragoza started at the end of the eighties with the approval of the new Masterplan (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). After that, in 1998, a commission composed by local administrators and stakeholders, adopted a Strategic plan, which promoted the regeneration and the local development of the city until 2015. In 2004 Zaragoza obtained the nomination as host city for the International Expo of 2008. The challenge of the Expo gave a new impulse to all the programmed projects, spread in all the neighborhoods, which converged towards the scheduled event of 2008.
The core of the research presented in this paper concerns the analysis of the policies, the strategies and practices promoted by the city of Zaragoza for the Expo 2008 and their consequences in reshaping and reorganizing the city after the conclusion of the event.

description: We study finite-dimensional product Hilbert spaces, coupled spin systems, entanglement and energy level crossing. The Hamilton operators are based on the Pauli group. We show that swapping the interacting term can lead from unentangled eigenstates to entangled eigenstates and from an energy spectrum with energy level crossing to avoided energy level crossing.

description: The most recent results of searches at the LHC for the Higgs boson h have turned up possible hints of such a particle with mass m_h about 125 GeV consistent with standard model (SM) expectations. This has many potential implications for the SM and beyond. We consider some of them in the contexts of a simple Higgs-portal dark matter (DM) model, the SM plus a real gauge-singlet scalar field D as the DM candidate, and a couple of its variations. In the simplest model with one Higgs doublet and three or four generations of fermions, for D mass m_D < m_h/2 the invisible decay h -> DD tends to have a substantial branching ratio. If future LHC data confirm the preliminary Higgs indications, m_D will have to exceed m_h/2. To keep the DM lighter than m_h/2, one will need to extend the model and also satisfy constraints from DM direct searches. The latter can be accommodated if the model provides sizable isospin violation in the DM-nucleon interactions. We explore this in a two-Higgs-doublet model combined with the scalar field D. This model can offer a 125-GeV SM-like Higgs and a light DM candidate having isospin-violating interactions with nucleons at roughly the required level, albeit with some degree of fine-tuning.

title: Enskiled coping : exploring the process of becoming skilled in and through the practice of craft

description: 	Becoming skilled is often portrayed through linear trajectories and stepwise models that reduce the complexity of lived experience. In turn, these models restrict the possibilities for going on by suggesting that what we do, and how we know, unfolds in a unidirectional and predetermined manner. This thesis addresses this problem by exploring the process of becoming skilled over time. It traces the author’s own becoming a potter through apprenticeship in the practice of craft. Based on this rich empirical data three contributions are made to process studies in management and organisation. Firstly, this thesis illuminates a multi-directional, two-phased ‘pattern of enskilment’ through which practitioners develop the necessary foundational skills to grasp the underlying logic of practice and reveal new ways of going on. Secondly, patterns of enskilment are shown to unfold in the forces and flows of the wider institutional arrangements as practitioners both follow and orchestrate the rhythms of practice. In turn, the emergent and potent forces that shape the course of ongoing becoming are revealed. In so doing, form-imposing structures, such as rules, judgments and intentions are shown to be ongoing and emergent forces that are generated in and through process, as it unfolds against a background of practice. Finally, apprenticeship is presented as means of understanding becoming through the process of becoming itself. Herein researcher and researched are reunited in the synchronous weaving together of simultaneous lines of becoming as they traverse overlapping practice(s). To this end, what we know and what we do are inherently entangled in who we are.

title: A Surrogate Machine Learning Method for Real-time Indoor Acoustic Analysis: A Case Study in an Educational Building

description: Achieving optimal speech intelligibility in educational settings is crucial for effective learning. Designers face challenges due to the diversity of building regulations, which define acoustic comfort in various ways. Objective acoustic parameters such as Definition (D50) and the Speech Transmission Index (STI) are pivotal in assessing acoustic quality tailored to a room’s function, with STI being especially indicative of speech intelligibility. To address the need for quick, accurate predictions of D50 and STI values across classroom areas, this research employs a surrogate machine learning (ML) approach. Our methodology involves simulating acoustic properties in a single educational room using the Pachyderm plugin within Grasshopper to analyze D50 at three key frequencies (125, 1000, and 4000 Hz), as well as the overall STI. We utilize the CatBoost algorithm as a surrogate model to predict the acoustic performance of individual sensors. The effectiveness of our model is assessed using the R2 score, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Squared Error (MSE) for individual sensors, along with Pearson correlation for comprehensive sensor analysis. The results demonstrate the high performance and potential of this surrogate ML approach in generating detailed and accurate acoustic heatmaps, thus ensuring enhanced acoustic comfort in educational environments. This method provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for real-time acoustic assessment, paving the way for improved educational building design.
Expression, purification, and characterization of RD3, the protein associated with Leber's congenital amaurosis type 12

description: RD3 is a highly conserved 23 kDa soluble protein expressed in the retinal and testicular tissues required for the trafficking of GC1 (Guanylate Cyclase 1). A lack of expression of this protein, or of GC1, results in a rapid loss of photoreceptor cells after retinal development, indicating their importance in photoreceptor function and survival. Previous work has demonstrated that RD3 shows disperse and membrane-associated distribution in HEK293T cells. When expressed in E. coli, RD3 forms inclusion bodies exclusively. RD3 is non-amenable to vigorous centrifugation, resistant to purification by way of size exclusion, and binds to and inhibits GC1. The current investigation demonstrates that RD3 is highly conserved throughout sight capable vertebrates, forms large proteolipid macro-molecular structures of 10nm size or greater and that E. coli expressed protein conforms to the predicted secondary structure of RD3. Additionally, methods of isolating RD3 used in previous studies are carried out here and found to result in the formation of the expected structures. Multiple alignment and secondary structure prediction software, circular dichroism, dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy, and standard protein purification and visualization techniques are utilized in these endeavors.
