L’incanto “dal vero”. Atmosfere veneziane del primo cinema

Early films

description: The essay explores the early Venetian cinematic representations, situating them within a broader historical framework. It proposes a narrative capable of transcending the notions of “veduta” and “dal vero” as mere documentary acts, pushing beyond the reality effects ensured by mechanical devices. Reflecting on Venice through these early films expands media-archaeological practices, moving away from the established paths of traditional film archive work and the historical reductionism to which these early documentaries were relegated. The “atmospheric” revision demanded by Venetian non-fiction from the early days of cinema becomes a privileged perspective on the act of viewing as an sentimental moment. Thinking beyond a history based on fixed textbook principles confirms the need to broaden the cinematic horizon to include these films: an ecological perspective and a hierarchical inversion, where what was once considered an iconic periphery becomes central to new definitions of meaning within a broader field of visual culture.

description: The giant arcs in the clusters of galaxies are modeled in the framework of the superbubbles. The density of the intracluster medium is assumed to follow a hyperbolic behavior. The analytical law of motion is function of the elapsed time and the polar angle. As a consequence the flux of kinetic energy in the expanding thin layer decreases with increasing polar angle making the giant arc invisible to the astronomical observations. In order to calibrate the arcsec-parsec conversion three cosmologies are analyzed.

description: The problem of combining information from several samples for estimating or testing a common mean for normal populations has been extensively studied in the statistical literature. In this paper, we take up this problem in the context of the common mean direction of several Fisher-von Mises-Langevin (FvML) distributions. The concentration parameters are taken to be unknown and heterogeneous. A non-iterative combined estimator is proposed and is seen to have substantially better risk performance than individual sample mean directions and a grand mean direction in a simulation study. Further, a test based on this non-iterative estimator is proposed, and nonparametric bootstrap and permutation resampling methods are developed for its implementation. Two more alternative tests are proposed and their implementation is carried out using nonparametric bootstrap resampling. A detailed simulation study shows that these test procedures achieve the nominal size and have good power performance. An ‘R’ package is developed for the implementation of the tests. A real data set is considered for illustrating the procedures.
An Equivalent ABCD-Matrix Formalism for Non-Local Wire Media with Arbitrary Terminations

description: A simple analytical model based on the transmission-matrix approach is proposed for equivalent wire-medium (WM) interfaces. The obtained ABCD matrices for equivalent interfaces capture the non-local effects due to the evanescent transverse magnetic (TM) WM mode and in part due to the propagating transverse electromagnetic (TEM) WM mode. This enables one to characterize the overall response of bounded WM structures by cascading the ABCD matrices of equivalent WM interfaces and WM slabs as transmission lines supporting only the propagating TEM WM mode, resulting in a simple circuit-model formalism for bounded WM structures with arbitrary terminations, including the open-end, patch/slot arrays, and thin metal/2D material, among others. The individual ABCD matrices for equivalent WM interfaces apparently violate the conservation of energy and reciprocity, and therefore, the equivalent interfaces apparently behave as non-reciprocal lossy or active systems. However, the overall response of a bounded WM structure is consistent with the lossless property maintaining the conservation of energy and reciprocity. These unusual features are explained by the fact that in the non-local WM the Poynting vector has an additional correction term which takes into account a "hidden power" due to non-local effects. Results are obtained for various numerical examples demonstrating a rapid and efficient solution for bounded WM structures, including the case of geometrically complex multilayer configurations with arbitrary terminations, subject to the condition that WM interfaces are decoupled by the evanescent TM WM mode below the plasma frequency.

description: A main disadvantage of many high-order methods for hyperbolic conservation laws lies in the famous Gibbs-Wilbraham phenomenon, once discontinuities appear in the solution. Due to the Gibbs-Wilbraham phenomenon, the numerical approximation will be polluted by spurious oscillations, which produce unphysical numerical solutions and might finally blow up the computation. In this work, we propose a new shock capturing procedure to stabilise high-order spectral element approximations. The procedure consists of going over from the original (polluted) approximation to a convex combination of the original approximation and its Bernstein reconstruction, yielding a stabilised approximation. The coefficient in the convex combination, and therefore the procedure, is steered by a discontinuity sensor and is only activated in troubled elements. Building up on classical Bernstein operators, we are thus able to prove that the resulting Bernstein procedure is total variation diminishing and preserves monotone (shock) profiles. Further, the procedure can be modified to not just preserve but also to enforce certain bounds for the solution, such as positivity. In contrast to other shock capturing methods, e.g. artificial viscosity methods, the new procedure does not reduce the time step or CFL condition and can be easily and efficiently implemented into any existing code. Numerical tests demonstrate that the proposed shock-capturing procedure is able to stabilise and enhance spectral element approximations in the presence of shocks.

description: The diurnal cycle of precipitation (DCP) is a core mode of precipitation variability in regions and seasons where the dominant precipitation type is convective. The occurrence of extreme precipitation is often closely linked to the DCP. Future changes in extreme precipitation may furthermore, in certain regions, exhibit a strong diurnal signal. Here we investigate the present and future diurnal cycle of hourly precipitation in the state-of-the-art 0.11°C EURO-CORDEX (EC-11) ensemble and in a convection-permitting model (CPM), with a focus on extremes. For the present climate, long-standing timing and frequency biases in the DCP found in lower-resolution models persist in the EC-11 ensemble. In the CPM, however, these biases are largely absent, particularly the diurnal distribution of extremes, which the EC-11 ensemble misrepresents. For future changes to hourly precipitation, we find clear diurnal signals in the CPM and in EC-11 models, with high regional and intra-ensemble variability. The diurnal signal typically peaks in the morning. Interestingly, the EC-11 ensemble mean shows reasonable agreement with the CPM on the diurnal signal's timing, showing that this feature is representable by models with parametrized convection. Comparison with the CPM suggests that EC-11 models greatly underestimate the amplitude of this diurnal signal. Our study highlights the advantages of CPMs for investigating future precipitation change at the diurnal scale, while also showing the EC-11 ensemble capable of detecting a diurnal signal in future precipitation change.

description: Paraleuctra
 DIAGNOSIS: Paraleuctra adults are dark brown in color and very slender (Fig. 135). The cercal segments of males are heavily modified, surrounding the simple short epiproct which is oriented perpendicular to the body (Fig. 143). The female plate is bilobed and protrudes off the body (Fig. 144). Nymph have palps subequal to the glossae (Fig. 133), as opposed to Leuctra which has long palps. Nymphs lack short setae on the posterior margin of abdominal tergites (Fig. 134) which Leuctra nymphs possess.
 DISTRIBUTION—Global: Holarctic— Regional: AOB— Aimag: SE, TO.
 DISCUSSION: The genus Paraleuctra is richer in the Nearctic than the Palearctic. It is interesting that this points to connections east across Beringia while the distribution of L. fusca, which is similar in placement and extent to P. zapekinae Zhiltzova, 1974, is to the west, Europe. More collections from this range are warranted.

description: By selecting the data from 1989 to 2009 in China, we conduct regression analysis on the total out value of agriculture, the usage amount of chemical fertilizer, total power of agricultural machinery, effective irrigation area, and the damage area. The results show that the usage amount of chemical fertilizer and the damage area, the great obstacle to the construction of resource-saving and environment-friendly agriculture, have significant impact on the output value of agriculture; total power of agricultural machinery and effective irrigation area have insignificant impact on the output value of agriculture. Based on these, the suggestions for promoting the development of resource-saving and environment-friendly agriculture are put forward as follows: transform agricultural production mode, and optimize the industrial structure of agriculture; promote scientific use of chemical fertilizer, and promote the ability of agriculture to resist risks; promote the development of biogas in rural areas, and carry out the comprehensive use of biological material resources in rural areas.

description: Nemurella
 DIAGNOSIS: Adult coloration is typically dark to golden brown in life and when preserved. Male are most readily distinguished by the cerci which form a triangle around the genitalic structures (Fig. 165). Also, the paraprocts (Fig. 166) are diagnostic, being divided into two long, thin lobes extending past the cercal bases. The inner lobes also surpass the entire length of the cercal segment, in stark constrast to the short and stubby lobes in Nemoura and the wider lobes of Amphinemura. As in Amphinemura, the hypoproct (ventral) extends between the paraprocts. The epiproct is bifurcate from the lateral view. Female subgenital plate is composed of two sclerotized vaginal lobes separated by a depressed median area. Sternum 7 forms a slightly sclerotized lobe that extends posteriorly to partially cover the median depression of sternum 8 (Fig. 167). Nymphs are generally less pilous than other Nemouridae, but have four thick, stout hairs on abdominal tergites (Fig. 149), two of which are much longer than all other hairs present along the tergite margin. The hind femur has a transverse row of hairs that are often longer than the femur width. In later instars, the first and third tarsal segments of the hind leg are equal in length (Fig. 148) and the male paraprocts are readily apparent and curve up between the cerci. In earlier instars, the cerci are as long as the body and the antennae have long hairs on the basal segments.

description: We describe the zero temperature phases and phase boundaries of an effective lattice model for frustrated, easy-plane, spin S=1/2 quantum antiferromagnets. The model contains states with Neel and bond-centered charge order and fractionalization in different limiting regimes, and we describe how these orders compete at intermediate coupling. The complex Berry phase terms render this model unsuitable for direct simulation; however, a duality mapping leads to a model of interacting current loops with positive weights, which is then studied by Monte Carlo simulations.

description: We used high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ni $L_3$ edge to simultaneously investigate high-energy interband transitions characteristic of Ni-O bond ordering and low-energy collective excitations of the Ni spins in the rare-earth nickelates $R$NiO$_3$ ($R$ = Nd, Pr, La) with pseudocubic perovskite structure. With the support of calculations based on a double-cluster model we quantify bond order (BO) amplitudes for different thin films and heterostructures and discriminate short-range BO fluctuations from long-range static order. Moreover we investigate magnetic order and exchange interactions in spatially confined $R$NiO$_3$ slabs by probing dispersive magnon excitations. While our study of superlattices (SLs) grown in the (001) direction of the perovskite structure reveals a robust non-collinear spin spiral magnetic order with dispersive magnon excitations that are essentially unperturbed by BO modulations and spatial confinement, we find magnons with flat dispersions and strongly reduced energies in SLs grown in the $(111)_{\text{pc}}$ direction that exhibit collinear magnetic order. These results give insight into the interplay of different collective ordering phenomena in a prototypical 3$d$ transition metal oxide and establish RIXS as a powerful tool to quantitatively study several order parameters and the corresponding collective excitations within one experiment.

description: A local permittivity model is proposed to accurately characterize spatial dispersion in non-local wire-medium (WM) structures with arbitrary terminations. A closed-form expression for the local thickness-dependent permittivity is derived for a general case of a bounded WM with lumped impedance insertions and terminated with impedance surfaces, which takes into account the effects of spatial dispersion and loads/terminations in the averaged sense per length of the wire medium. The proposed approach results in a local model formalism and accurately predicts the response of WM structures for near-field and far-field excitation. It is also shown that a traditional transmission network and circuit model can be effectively used to quantify the interaction of propagating and evanescent waves with WM structures. In addition, the derived analytical expression for the local thickness-dependent permittivity has been used in the full-wave numerical solver (CST Microwave Studio) demonstrating a drastic reduction in the computation time and memory in the solution of near-field and far-field problems involving wire media.

 Specimens examined. Lectotype studied (MNHN) (Fig. 1F).
 Geographical Distribution. Endemic to Guadeloupe. (Fig. 3).
 Diagnosis. The separation between antennomeres 9 and 10 place this species within the subgenus Ecnomorphus. Carpophilus dufaui is easily distinguished from other members of this subgenus in the Caribbean by the parallel sided lateral margins of the pronotum (broadly rounded in C. thomasi), and darker coloration (overall lighter coloration in both C. tempestivus and C. thomasi). Carpophilus dufaui clearly has close affinities to C. tempestivus but is diagnosed by the length of the visible abdominal tergites (penultimate longer in C. jamaicensis, terminal segment longer in C. dufaui).
 Natural history. Unknown.

Taeniopterygidae

description: Taeniopterygidae   COMMON NAME: Willowflies.
 SIZE: Small to Medium (10–20 mm).
 FEEDING GROUP: Shredders (Some Scrapers).
 TOLERANCE VALUE: 2 (Low).
 DIAGNOSIS: Both adults and nymphs are distinguishable from other families by the length of the second tarsal segment being approximately equal to the length of the first segment (Fig. 9). Adults resemble those of Nemouridae in overall body shape, although taeniopterygids lack the well defined “X” venation found in nemourids. In males, sternum 10 is long and often visible from the dorsal view, appearing to surround the genitalic structures like a cup (Fig. 369). Sternum 9 in females is likewise long in most genera (Fig. 370), though barely produced in Taeniopteryx (Fig. 376). The nymphs are generally stout bodied with the pronotum considerably wider than the abdomen. The developing wing pads are greatly divergent from the midline (Fig. 12). As with all Euholgnatha, the paraglossae and glossae are subequal and the labial palps are robust (Fig. 7).
 DISCUSSION: These stoneflies are found in flowing waters in root mats, snags, leaf packs and sometimes on stones. They are usually found at the edges of streams and rivers where the current is reduced. Like Capniidae, the adults often emerge during cold months, though little collecting during this time period has been done in Mongolia due to road accessibility issues. Most species in this family are generally intolerant of pollution, but some species are well-adapted to large polluted rivers.

Active graphene-based hyperbolic metamaterials
Creators: name: Tarasenko, Illya
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Hyperbolic metamaterials are a class of artificial (nano-) structures, designed to transport electric fields, which would otherwise evanescently decay in free space. Field profiles of evanescent waves can be well matched to profiles of surface plasmons - confined metal-dielectric boundary surface charge oscillations - allowing resonant coupling between them. By building a structure, composed of alternating metal-dielectric boundaries, one can ensure transportation of the evanescent modes across a whole stack of layers. Here we employ graphene monolayers as conductive media, alternating with dielectric spacers. To ensure an accurate non-local description, necessary for high-k evanescent modes, we use a non-local quantum conductivity model for graphene, which accounts for inter- and intra-band transition processes and temperature effects, thus facilitating a comprehensive loss and gain description. Here we present and formalise the theory of graphene-based passive and active hyperbolic metamaterials. We discuss the developed theoretical ’toolset’, used to describe hyperbolic properties of graphene-based metamaterials, such as plasmonic regions, band structure, tunability etc. With our toolset, we theoretically predict the possibility of using graphene-based hyperbolic metamaterials for plasmonic loss compensation and amplification and demonstrate the possibility of using active and passive stacks with finite number of layers to propagate and amplify Gaussian pulses. In the second part of this thesis we propose to employ Moiré patterns, arising from the structural interference between single layers of graphene and hexagonal Boron Nitride. This bi-layer forms an effective metasurface which can be designed to facilitate coupling of vacuum plane waves to high-k plasmon modes of graphene. Using the extinction theorem, we model Moiré patterns as sinusoidal gratings with a period and depth, corresponding to those, experimentally observed. We show that a reflectivity drop of ∼ 0.5% can be achieved with the help of this metasurface, placed on the boundary between a (Drude) metal and a dielectric structure.

description: In acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) the suppression of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) differentiation and proliferation is a major factor contributing to treatment complications and mortality rates. Previous studies associated an altered microenvironment with dysregulated haematopoiesis but the precise molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood. To mimic AML infiltrated human bone marrow (BM), we utilised our published humanised 3D BM model. Healthy donor MSCs were cultured on a 3D collagen scaffold, co-injected with normal CD34+ HSPCs with AML and transplanted into NSG-SGM3 mice. In analogue, we co-cultured healthy BM MSCs with HSPCs and AML. Both ex vivo and in vivo models replicated a suppression of normal haematopoiesis. Similar to AML patients, cell death was affected minimally but the majority of HSPCs were quiescent and showed an enrichment of serial colony-forming cells and LTC-ICs. Ex vivo, HSPC suppression was largely dependent on the presence of MSCs but not in a direct contact manner. Stroma secretome analysis identified the previously uncharacterized stanniocalcin-1 (STC1). STC1 is exclusively expressed in MSCs and upregulated 2 to 30-fold after AML contact. Supplemented recombinant STC1 significantly enriches for quiescent HSPCs and helps to preserve their functionality, while the proliferation of AML was unchanged. Neutralisation of STC1 in AML scaffolds improved HSPC cell number through increased proliferation. Further transcriptomic interrogation of the MSCs after AML exposure also identified an upregulation of Hypoxia-inducible factor -1 alpha (HIF-1α) target genes and increased stabilisation of HIF-1α. Knockdown of HIF-1α in MSCs not only abrogates secreted STC1 but also improves HSPC proliferation in the presence of AML. In conclusion, the newly developed humanised ex vivo and in vivo models mimic the suppression of HSPCs by AML but are dependent on an altered MSC niche and the HIF-1α-STC1 axis. Inhibition of niche remodelling may be an interesting new approach to improve recovery after AML treatment.

description: A base $\mathcal{B}$ for a space $X$ is said to be sharp if, whenever $x\in X$ and $(B_n)_{n\inω}$ is a sequence of pairwise distinct elements of $\mathcal{B}$ each containing $x$, the collection $\{\bigcap_{j\le n}B_j:n\inω\}$ is a local base at $x$. We answer questions raised by Alleche et al. and Arhangel$'$ski\uı et al. by showing that a pseudocompact Tychonoff space with a sharp base need not be metrizable and that the product of a space with a sharp base and $[0,1]$ need not have a sharp base. We prove various metrization theorems and provide a characterization along the lines of Ponomarev's for point countable bases.

description: The physics of an electron solid, held on a cryogenic liquid surface by a pressing electric field, is examined in a low-density regime that has not been explored before. We consider the effect of the pressing field in distorting the surface at the position of each electron and hence inducing an attractive force between the electrons. The system behavior is described in terms of an interplay between the repulsive Coulomb interaction and the attractive surface-induced interaction between individual electrons. For small densities and large enough pressing fields, we find a parameter regime where a square lattice is more favorable than the usual triangular lattice; we map out the first-order transition curve separating the two lattice geometries at zero temperature. In addition, our description allows an alternate static perspective on the charge-density wave instability of the system, corresponding to the formation of multi-electron dimples.

description: Farmer productivity by age was estimated, allowing for differences because of efficiency and returns to scale. Using Census of Agriculture data, estimates vary by state, but returns to scale average 1.07. Efficiency increases average 4.5 percent every ten years of age, to the age interval 35 to 44, and then decreases at that same rate.

description: Bullwhip effect (BWE) in a supply chain is a phenomenon wherein variance in orders placed increases as one moves upstream in the supply chain. This paper analyses the bullwhip effect from human behaviour perspective using beer distribution game (BDG). Personality traits of respondents were quantified using the big five inventory. Openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism are the five broad traits studied as independent variables (IVs). Inventory holding cost, back order cost and bullwhip effect (Quantified) were studied as dependent variables (DVs). Conscientiousness also acted as a moderator besides being an IV and had a weak negative correlation with BWE and costs. Openness related positively to DVs in some relationships which were significant. Reason for this anomaly was found in the moderation/interaction of personality traits with conscientiousness. The important findings are that personality matters in complex decision making in a supply chain. Moreover, traits interact with each other. The best performers were those who were high on conscientiousness and openness.
Using novel cell culture systems to establish the role of hepatitis C virus NS5A resistance in the era of direct-acting antiviral therapy

description: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense, ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus. The discovery of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has revolutionised the management of hepatitis C. Several highly efficacious combination regimens are now available and offer high cure rates (>95%). The presence of baseline or treatment-emergent resistance-associated substitutions (RASs), particularly NS5A RASs, complicate therapy and reduce cure rates for some patients. A better understanding of NS5A RASs is required to guide treatment strategies. This study used established and novel cell culture systems to investigate the role of NS5A resistance testing in the DAA treatment era. Competition assays were performed using Jc1 reporter viruses with and without the L31V NS5A RAS in Huh7.5 cells to investigate the mechanism behind long-term persistence of NS5A RASs following treatment failure. A phenotypic resistance assay for clinical isolates was developed using the recently described Huh7.5-SEC14L2 cell culture system. A systematic review investigated the relevance of treatment optimisation strategies, including resistance-optimisation strategies, in the DAA era. This study found no evidence to support trans-complementation of NS5A as a mechanism to explain the long-term persistence of NS5A RASs. Enhanced propagation of the L31V-containing Jc1 virus in an infection system, despite reduced infectivity and replication capacity, suggests increased cell-to-cell spread as an alternative mechanism, which requires further study. In the Huh7.5-SEC14L2 system, genotype 1a clinical isolates possess a similar Ledipasvir resistance phenotype compared to replicon data. A Y93H-containing clinical isolate conferred a 3-4x fold-change in EC50, lower than the >1000x described in replicon studies. This discrepancy is related to the proportion of RAS present within the viral population and the EC90 value is a more accurate indicator of resistance phenotype. Real-world studies testing resistance-optimised treatment strategies are emerging. Despite an increasing emphasis on simplified treatment strategies, NS5A RASs will remain of relevance for some patients in the pangenotypic DAA treatment era.

description: Mathematical programming models, as typically formulated for international trade applications, may contain certain implied restrictions which lead to solutions which can be shown to be technically infeasible, or if feasible, then not actually an equilibrium. An alternative formulation is presented which allows joint-inputs and multi-products, with pure transshipment and product substitution forms of arbitrage.
Transcriptional regulation of VSG monoallelic expression in the African trypanosome - Trypanosoma brucei
Creators: name: Davies, Carys
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: T. brucei is a unicellular protozoan parasite that is best known for its sophisticated strategy of antigenic variation of the surface coat protein, VSG, to evade host immune responses. There are over one thousand VSG genes in the T. brucei genome and ~20 telomeric expression sites (ESs) from where VSG may be expressed. All but one of these ESs is strictly silenced, which is crucial for antigenic variation to be successful, and a single ES is actively transcribed in a manner known as monoallelic expression. VSG ESs are transcribed using RNA Polymerase I from within a unique sub-nuclear structure called the Expression Site Body (ESB). The observation that an ESB is not detected in all cells within a given population suggests that the active ES is dynamically regulated. In this research project I adapted a fluorescent timer reporter called FastFT for use in T. brucei, to investigate this phenomenon. I established that the kinetics of the FastFT fluorophore maturation in T. brucei make this a promising tool for studying dynamic transcriptional states, and potentially other aspects of trypanosome biology. I also used this novel tool to test the model that the ESB is a limiting structure contributing to monoallelic expression of VSG, and showed that transcriptional dynamics are altered when monoallelic expression is disrupted. I also sought to identify factors that suppress transcription from silent ESs, of which there are two types – bloodstream form and metacyclic form. I analysed data from three genome-wide functional screens designed to identify repressors of metacyclic form expression site transcription and validated several of the candidate genes. I further characterised the function of one of these genes, TbSAP, which is a predicted DNA binding protein. I showed that perturbation of TbSAP led to up-regulation of both bloodstream and metacyclic ES transcription. I also discovered that TbSAP is a nuclear protein that appears to be enriched at the nuclear periphery. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that TbSAP interacts with ES promoters, and may mediate transcriptional repression through either regulation of ES localisation or ES chromatin structure. In this research project I have attempted to further our understanding of the positive and negative regulators of ES transcription, which underpin the paradigmatic system of monoallelic expression in this divergent eukaryote.

description: Only a select few developed nations pursue subatomic physics research through the use of accelerator facilities. Canada is one of these, and has gained considerable stature and prestige amongst the international community in this field over the past one and one-half decades. The TRIUMF facility in British Columbia is recognized as one of the world's leading accelerator programs serving the needs of Canadian and international researchers. The KAON factory is a proposed expansion of TRIUMF. The purpose of the expansion is to increase the energies of the subatomic interactions under study by a factor of about 60, in order to provide new insights into the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Construction of the KAON factory is estimated to cost about $694 million. Although a final decision has not yet been made to proceed, Canada and British Columbia signed an agreement in 1988 to advance the planning process to the next step - an engineering design and impact study. The mandate for the study includes engineering design, Canadian industrial capability. and analyses of economic and environmental impacts.
