description: The electronic structure of two-dimensional (2D) materials are inherently prone to environmental perturbations, which may pose significant challenges to their applications in electronic or optoelectronic devices. A 2D material couples with its environment through two mechanisms: local chemical coupling and nonlocal dielectric screening effects. The local chemical coupling is often difficult to predict or control experimentally. Nonlocal dielectric screening, on the other hand, can be tuned by choosing the substrates or layer thickness in a controllable manner. Therefore, a compelling 2D electronic material should offer band edge states that are robust against local chemical coupling effects. Here it is demonstrated that the recently synthesized MoSi$_2$N$_4$ is an ideal 2D semiconductor with robust band edge states protected from capricious environmental chemical coupling effects. Detailed many-body perturbation theory calculations are carried out to illustrate how the band edge states of MoSi$_2$N$_4$ are shielded from the direct chemical coupling effects, but its quasiparticle and excitonic properties can be modulated through the nonlocal dielectric screening effects. This unique property, together with the moderate band gap and the thermodynamic and mechanical stability of this material, paves the way for a range of applications of MoSi$_2$N$_4$ in areas including energy, 2D electronics, and optoelectronics.
Consenso para o tratamento nutricional da acidúria glutárica tipo I

description: A acidúria glutárica tipo I é uma doença hereditária do metabolismo dos aminoácidos lisina, hidroxilisina e triptofano, causada pelo défice da enzima desidrogenase do glutaril-CoA. Trata-se de uma doença de transmissão autossómica recessiva, estando actualmente conhecidas mais de 150 mutações no gene responsável. Normalmente, a forma de apresentação da doença caracteriza-se por uma crise encefalopática aguda, com perda imediata de aquisições e faculdades. O diagnóstico bioquímico é realizado através da excreção dos ácidos glutárico, 3-hidroxiglutárico e glutacónico, bem como de glutarilcarnitina. O tratamento nutricional deve ser instituído o mais cedo possível. Após a instalação das sequelas neurológicas, o tratamento nutricional revela-se pouco eficaz na sua reversão. A abordagem clássica do tratamento nutricional consiste na imple mentação de uma dieta hipoproteica e restrita em lisina, suplementada com uma mistura de aminoácidos específica. O uso de carnitina é fundamental, enquanto que a eficácia da riboflavina não é consensual. A deterioração clínica destes doentes é por vezes acentuada, com dificuldades em se alimentarem e com reflexo negativo no estado nutricional e prognóstico. Actualmente, a acidúria glutárica tipo I é considerada uma doença tratável.

description: Complex vector modes of light, non-separable in their spatial and polarisation degrees of freedom, are revolutionising a wide variety of research fields. It is therefore not surprising that the generation techniques have evolved quite dramatically since their inception. At present it is common to use computer-controlled devices, among which digital micromirror devices have become popular. Some of the reason for this are their low-cost, their polarisation-insensitive and their high-refresh rates. As such, in this manuscript we put forward a novel technique characterised by its high stability, which is achieved through a common-path interferometer. We demonstrate the capabilities of this technique experimentally, first by generating arbitrary vector modes on a higher-order Poincaré sphere, secondly, by generating vector modes in different coordinates systems and finally, by generating various vector modes simultaneously. Our technique will find applications in fields such as optical manipulations, optical communications, optical metrology, among others.

description: Disordered systems such as spin glasses have been used extensively as models for high-dimensional random landscapes and studied from the perspective of optimization algorithms. In a recent paper by L. Addario-Berry and the second author, the continuous random energy model (CREM) was proposed as a simple toy model to study the efficiency of such algorithms. The following question was raised in that paper: what is the threshold $β_G$, at which sampling (approximately) from the Gibbs measure at inverse temperature $β$ becomes algorithmically hard? This paper is a first step towards answering this question. We consider the branching random walk, a time-homogeneous version of the continuous random energy model. We show that a simple greedy search on a renormalized tree yields a linear-time algorithm which approximately samples from the Gibbs measure, for every $β< β_c$, the (static) critical point. More precisely, we show that for every $\varepsilon>0$, there exists such an algorithm such that the specific relative entropy between the law sampled by the algorithm and the Gibbs measure of inverse temperature $β$ is less than $\varepsilon$ with high probability. In the supercritical regime $β> β_c$, we provide the following hardness result. Under a mild regularity condition, for every $δ> 0$, there exists $z>0$ such that the running time of any given algorithm approximating the Gibbs measure stochastically dominates a geometric random variable with parameter $e^{-z\sqrt{N}}$ on an event with probability at least $1-δ$.

description: An iterative approach which was recently applied to approximate the reflection and scattering coefficients of transmission line ports is analyzed. The iterative solution for the current on an infinite wire above ground is compared to the exact solution. The example is chosen since it is one of the few problems where an exact solution exists. The wire is excited by a lumped voltage source or a plane wave. The convergence of the iterative approach is shown. It can be concluded that the zeroth iteration, which is the classical transmission line solution, coincides with the general transverse electromagnetic mode. Furthermore, it is shown that the first iteration is a very good approximation of the radiation and leaky modes, that occur in the close neighborhood around the lumped source.

description: This article presents the newly developed ‘Aid for Peace’ approach. This approach facilitates the planning and evaluation of peacebuilding, development and humanitarian policies and programmes, in latent or manifest violent conflict or in the aftermath of a violent conflict or war. The ‘Aid for Peace’ framework consists of four parts that focus on the needs for peacebuilding in a given country or area. It tailors the intervention’s objectives and activities towards these needs through identifying its peacebuilding relevance, and develops or evaluates peace and conflict results chains and indicators for understanding its effects on conflict and peacebuilding. Based on the same methodological framework, the approach provides separate guides for planning and evaluating peace and aid policies and programmes.

description: We explore the use of observed polar coronal holes (CHs) to constrain the flux distribution within the polar regions of global solar magnetic field maps in the absence of reliable quality polar field observations. Global magnetic maps, generated by the Air Force Data Assimilative Photospheric flux Transport (ADAPT) model, are modified to enforce field unipolarity thresholds both within and outside observed CH boundaries. The polar modified and unmodified maps are used to drive Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) models of the corona and solar wind (SW). The WSA predicted CHs are compared with the observations, and SW predictions at the WIND and Ulysses spacecraft are also used to provide context for the new polar modified maps. We find that modifications of the polar flux never worsen and typically improve both the CH and SW predictions. We also confirm the importance of the choice of the domain over which WSA generates the coronal magnetic field solution but find that solutions optimized for one location in the heliosphere can worsen predictions at other locations. Finally, we investigate the importance of low-latitude (i.e., active region) magnetic fields in setting the boundary of polar CHs, determining that they have at least as much impact as the polar fields themselves.

Cosmological simulations predict that AGN preferentially live in gas-rich, star-forming galaxies despite effective feedback

description: Negative feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the leading mechanism for the quenching of massive galaxies in the vast majority of modern galaxy evolution models. However, direct observational evidence that AGN feedback causes quenching on a population scale is lacking. Studies have shown that luminous AGN are preferentially located in gas-rich and star-forming galaxies, an observation that has sometimes been suggested to be in tension with a negative AGN feedback picture. We investigate three of the current cosmological simulations (IllustrisTNG, EAGLE and SIMBA) along with post-processed models for molecular hydrogen gas masses and perform similar tests to those used by observers. We find that the simulations predict: (i) no strong negative trends between AGN luminosity and molecular gas fraction or sSFR; (ii) both high-luminosity ($L_{bol}>10^{44}$ erg/s) and high-Eddington ratio (>1%) AGN are preferentially located in galaxies with high molecular gas fractions and sSFR; and (iii) that the gas-depleted and quenched fractions of AGN host galaxies are lower than a control sample of non-active galaxies. These three findings are in qualitative agreement with observational samples at $z=0$ and $z=2$ and show that such results are not in tension with the presence of strong AGN feedback, which all simulations we employ require to produce realistic massive galaxies. However, we also find quantifiable differences between predictions from the simulations, which could allow us to observationally test the different subgrid feedback models.

description: Coughing is a typical symptom of COVID-19. To detect and localize coughing sounds remotely, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning model was developed in this work and integrated with a sound camera for the visualization of the cough sounds. The cough detection model is a binary classifier of which the input is a two second acoustic feature and the output is one of two inferences (Cough or Others). Data augmentation was performed on the collected audio files to alleviate class imbalance and reflect various background noises in practical environments. For effective featuring of the cough sound, conventional features such as spectrograms, mel-scaled spectrograms, and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) were reinforced by utilizing their velocity (V) and acceleration (A) maps in this work. VGGNet, GoogLeNet, and ResNet were simplified to binary classifiers, and were named V-net, G-net, and R-net, respectively. To find the best combination of features and networks, training was performed for a total of 39 cases and the performance was confirmed using the test F1 score. Finally, a test F1 score of 91.9% (test accuracy of 97.2%) was achieved from G-net with the MFCC-V-A feature (named Spectroflow), an acoustic feature effective for use in cough detection. The trained cough detection model was integrated with a sound camera (i.e., one that visualizes sound sources using a beamforming microphone array). In a pilot test, the cough detection camera detected coughing sounds with an F1 score of 90.0% (accuracy of 96.0%), and the cough location in the camera image was tracked in real time.

description: Black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) in the hard and hard-intermediate spectral (and temporal) states exhibit in their power spectra characteristic frequencies called type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). Various models that can explain them with various degrees of success have been proposed, but a definitive answer is still missing. The hot Comptonizing corona interacting with the cold accretion disk, both of which are central in understanding BHXRBs, is essentially a dynamical system. Our aim is to investigate if the radiative coupling between the two components can produce QPOs. We write and solve the time-dependent equations that describe energy conservation in the system corona - accretion disk. We examine both constant and variable mass accretion rates. By necessity, in this first investigation we use a simple model, but it contains all the essential ingredients. For a constant mass accretion rate and certain justifiable conditions, the dynamic corona - disk system exhibits oscillations, which die out after a few cycles. The characteristic frequencies of these oscillations are similar to the ones observed in the power spectra of BHXRBs. For most parameters, the natural frequencies persist even in the case of variable accretion rates. We argue that type-C QPOs in BHXRBs could, in principle, arise from the interaction of the hot Comptonizing corona with the much colder accretion disk. If this picture is correct, it has immediate implications for other systems that contain the above constituents, such as active galactic nuclei.

description: The lepton sector is studied within a flavored non-renormalizable model where the $\mathbf{S}_{3}\otimes \mathbf{Z}_{2}$ flavor symmetry drives the Yukawa couplings. In this framework, the effective neutrino mass, that comes from the type II see-saw mechanism, as well as the charged lepton mass matrices are hierarchical and possessed (under a benchmark in the charged sector) a kind of Fritzsch textures that achieve to accommodate the mixing angles in good agreement with the last experimental data. The model predicts a CP-violating phase consistent with the experimental data and the branching ratio for the lepton flavor violation process, $μ\rightarrow eγ$, is well below the current bound.

description: Mira Thakkar successfully defended her Master's Thesis at American University on July 24, 2023. This is her thesis presentation. Her abstract is below:

Here, we focus on testing for segregation distortion in F1 populations of tetraploids. Tetraploids, which contain four sets of chromosomes, are important in both evolutionary research and agricultural improvement. In agricultural experiments with F1 populations, as a quality control measure, researchers often test whether genotype frequencies conform to those expected under Mendelian segregation. However, classical segregation patterns can be distorted in tetraploids due to the meiotic processes of double reduction and preferential pairing, which can alter gamete frequencies. Currently, there is no method to test for segregation distortion while accounting for these two processes in tetraploid F1 populations, despite their widespread use in agriculture.

To address this gap, we propose a Bayesian approach that incorporates both preferential pairing and double reduction in a new model for offspring genotypes in tetraploid F1 populations. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach through simulations and a real dataset of tetraploid blueberries. Our method inherits all of the benefits of Bayesian analysis, including consistency under the null, incorporation of prior information, and applicability to small samples by not depending on asymptotic approximations. This study provides a valuable contribution to the field by offering a new tool for testing for segregation distortion in tetraploid F1 populations.

description: Cardiotocograph (CTG) is a widely used tool for fetal surveillance during labor, which provides the joint recording of fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contraction data. Unfortunately, the CTG interpretation is difﬁcult because it involves a visual analysis of highly complex signals. Recent clinical research indicates that a correct CTG assessment requires a good understanding of the fetal compensatory mechanisms modulated by the autonomic nervous system. Certainly, this modulation reﬂects variations in the FHR, whose characteristics can involve signiﬁcant information about the fetal condition. The main contribution of this work is to investigate these characteristics by a new approach combining two signal pro-cessing methods: the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and time-varying autoregressive (TV-AR) modeling. The idea is to study the CEEMDAN intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in both the time-domain and the spectral-domain in order to extract information that can help to assess the fetal condition. For this purpose, ﬁrst, the FHR signal is decomposed, and then for each IMF, the TV-AR spectrum is computed in order to study their spectral dynamics over time. In this paper, we ﬁrst explain the foundations of our proposed features. Then, we evaluate their performance in CTG classiﬁcation by using three machine learning classiﬁers. The proposed approach has been evaluated on real CTG data extracted from the CTU-UHB database. Results show that by using only conventional FHR features, the classiﬁcation performance achieved 78, 0%. Then, by including the proposed CEEMDAN spectral-based features, it increased to 81, 7%.

description: Recovering the birth radii of observed stars in the Milky Way is one of the ultimate goals of Galactic Archaeology. One method to infer the birth radius and the evolution of the ISM metallicity assumes a linear relation between the ISM metallicity with radius at any given look-back time. Here we test the reliability of this assumption by using 4 zoom-in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations from the NIHAO-UHD project. We find that one can infer precise birth radii only when the stellar disk starts to form, which for our modeled galaxies happens ~ 10 Gyr ago, in agreement with recent estimates for the Milky Way. At later times the linear correlation between the ISM metallicity and radius increases, as stellar motions become more ordered and the azimuthal variations of the ISM metallicity start to drop. The formation of a central bar and perturbations from mergers can increase this uncertainty in the inner and outer disk, respectively.

description: We consider a generic scattering process that takes place in a region of size R inside the static patch of the de Sitter spacetime such that R is smaller than the curvature length scale of the background. The effect of curvature can thus be studied perturbatively. We obtain the asymptotic electromagnetic field generated by the scattering process including the leading order correction due to the presence of de Sitter background and discuss its universal aspects. We finally caculate the resultant first order corrections to the flat spacetime velocity memory effect.

description: Open-cell aluminum foams were manufactured by a sponge replication technique having a total porosity of ~90%. The influence of the thermal processing conditions such as atmosphere and temperature on the cellular structure, phase composition porosity, thermal conductivity, and compressive strength of the foams was studied. It was found that the thermal processing of aluminum foams in Ar at temperatures up to 800 ◦C led to aluminum foams with a reduced strut porosity, a lower amount of aluminum oxide, a higher thermal conductivity, and a higher compression strength, compared to foams thermally processed in air. These results were explained by the lower amount of aluminum oxide after thermal processing of the foams.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem österreichischen Schauspieler, Theaterdirektor, Regisseur und Dramatiker Friedrich Joseph Korntheuer (1779-1829), der heute zumeist als Schauspieler in den Stücken Ferdinand Raimunds bekannt ist. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, den vergessenen Dramatiker Korntheuer wiederzuentdecken und auf ihn aufmerksam zu machen. Die überschaubare Forschungsliteratur zu seiner Person und die schlechte editorische Lage hinsichtlich seiner dramatischen Beiträge stellen den Ausgangspunkt für eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Dramatiker Korntheuer dar. In dieser Arbeit wird der Versuch unternommen, erstmals einen Überblick über sein dramatisches Werk zu ermöglichen, indem die Aufführungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte sämtlicher von Korntheuer verfassten Stücke rekonstruiert wird. Außerdem soll die erstmalige Transkription von Korntheuers Singspiel Fortunatus Bock, oder Die Heirath als Strafe einen Beitrag zur Aufarbeitung der bestehenden Forschungslücken im Bereich des Wiener Vorstadttheaters leisten.
description: The intention of this paper is to analyze the Austrian actor, theater manager, stage director and dramatist Friedrich Joseph Korntheuer (1779-1829), who is nowadays mostly known as an actor in Ferdinand Raimund's plays. The aim of this work is to rediscover and draw attention to the forgotten dramatist Korntheuer. The manageable research literature on his person and the bad editorial position with regard to his dramatic contributions represent the starting point for an intensive examination of the dramatist Korntheuer. This study attempts to provide an overview of his dramatic oeuvre for the first time by reconstructing the performance and reception history of all plays written by Korntheuer. In addition, the first transcription of Korntheuers play Fortunatus Bock, oder Die Heirath als Strafe will contribute to the rehabilitation of the existing research gaps in the field of the Viennese suburban theater.

description: Women still face social barriers when confronted with managerial positions, typically associated with the male domain. These barriers may be thought to be even more pronounced for lesbian women who are often discriminated against due to their sexual orientation. Perceptions of femininity and masculinity have recently caught the attention of scholars interested in leadership effectiveness perception associated with sexual minorities. If on the one hand being perceived as masculine may represent an advantage within the work context, some research suggests that conforming to gender roles by holding feminine traits is also important for female candidates. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the relationship between sexual orientation and leadership effectiveness perception. We specifically examined female leaders’ perceived masculinity and femininity as potential mediators of this relationship. 290 heterosexual participants rated a lesbian vs. heterosexual woman by rating her leadership effectiveness as well as masculinity and femininity. Results showed that being lesbian was associated with higher levels of masculinity and lower levels of femininity. Yet, only femininity was positively associated with leadership effectiveness, thus suggesting the importance of conforming to gender roles within the work environment. This study contributes to the literature on sexual minorities and leadership perception, by specifically focusing on how lesbian women may be perceived in work-related contexts and shed light on the role played by gender role-conforming perceptions when evaluating both heterosexual as well as lesbian individual’s leadership effectiveness perceptions.

description: Motivated by recent breakthrough in molecular beam epitaxy of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells [Y. J. Chung \textit{et al.}, Nature Materials \textbf{20}, 632 (2021)], we examine contributions to mobility and quantum mobility from various scattering mechanisms and their dependencies on the electron density. We find that at lower electron densities, $n_e \lesssim 1 \times 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$, both transport and quantum mobility are limited by unintentional background impurities and follow a power law dependence, $\propto n_e^α$, with $α\approx 0.85$. Our predictions for quantum mobility are in reasonable agreement with an estimate obtained from the resistivity at filling factor $ν= 1/2$ in a sample of Y. J. Chung \textit{et al.} with $n_e = 1 \times 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. Consideration of other scattering mechanisms indicates that interface roughness (remote donors) is a likely limiting factor of transport (quantum) mobility at higher electron densities. Future measurements of quantum mobility should yield information on the distribution of background impurities in GaAs and AlGaAs.

title: Stopp Cyberbullying – was dann?
Creators: name: Payer, Johannes
Year: 2017

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es herauszufinden, ob eine eventuelle technische Sperre, die Cyberbullyinghandlungen unmöglich machen würde, einen Beitrag zur Eindämmung von Cyberbullyinghandlungen leisten könnte oder ob es dadurch zu einem vermehrten Auftreten von direktem Bullying kommen würde. Dazu wurden mittels eines Onlinefragebogens 166 Schüler und Schülerinnen im Alter von 10 bis 20 Jahren befragt, wie sie auf eine technische Sperre, die ab sofort wirksam sein würde und typische Cyberbullyinghandlungen wie das Versenden von gemeinen Nachrichten, Bildern und Videos unmöglich machen würde, reagieren würden. Neben der Hauptfragestellung wurden Einflussfaktoren wie der Migrationshintergrund, die Motivation für aggressives Verhalten, die Involviertheit bezüglich direktem und Cyberbullying in Form von Täterschaft und Opferdasein erhoben, die sich auf die mögliche Wirksamkeit der Sperre auswirken könnten. Die Auswertung ergab, dass eine technische Sperre durchaus wirksam sein könnte, jedoch deuten die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass sich nur jene Personen von Cyberbullyinghandlungen abhalten lassen würden und zukünftig nicht auf direkte Bullyinghandlungen zurückgreifen würden, die sich ausschließlich als CybertäterInnen deklarierten. Jene Personen jedoch, die Spaß als Motivation für aggressives Verhalten ansehen, würden bei Inkrafttreten einer technischen Sperre zukünftig vermehrt auf direkte Bullyinghandlungen zurückgreifen. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit deuten darauf hin, dass eine technische Sperre zwar nicht die bisher erfolgreichen Strategien gegen Cyberbullying ersetzen kann, jedoch einen kleinen Beitrag zur Bekämpfung von Cyberbullying leisten könnte.

description: We examine the radial evolution of correlation lengths perpendicular (\(λ_C^{\perp}\)) and parallel (\(λ_C^{\parallel}\)) to the magnetic-field direction, computed from solar wind magnetic-field data measured by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its first eight orbits, Helios 1, Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), WIND, and Voyager 1 spacecraft. Correlation lengths are grouped by an interval's alignment angle; the angle between the magnetic-field and solar wind velocity vectors (\(Θ_{\rm BV}\)). Parallel and perpendicular angular channels correspond to angles \(0^{\circ}~<~Θ_{\rm BV}~<~40^{\circ}\) and \(50^{\circ}~<~Θ_{\rm BV}~<~90^{\circ}\), respectively. We observe an anisotropy in the inner heliosphere within 0.40~au, with \(λ_C^{\parallel} / λ_C^{\perp} \approx 0.75\) at 0.10~au. This anisotropy reduces with increasing heliocentric distance and the correlation lengths roughly isotropize within 1~au. Results from ACE and WIND support a reversal of the anisotropy, such that \(λ_C^{\parallel} /λ_C^{\perp} \approx 1.29\) at 1~au. The ratio does not appear to change significantly beyond 1~au, although the small number of parallel intervals in the Voyager dataset precludes unambiguous conclusions from being drawn. This study provides insights regarding the radial evolution of the large, most energetic interacting turbulent fluctuations in the heliosphere. We also emphasize the importance of tracking the changes in sampling direction in PSP measurements as the spacecraft approaches the Sun, when using these data to study the radial evolution of turbulence. This can prove to be vital in understanding the more complex dynamics of the solar wind in the inner heliosphere and can assist in improving related simulations.

description: We present new joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of APM 08279+5255, a gravitationally-lensed, broad-absorption line quasar ($z=3.91$). After showing a fairly stable flux ($f_{\rm2-10}\simeq4-5.5\times10^{-13}\rm~erg~s^{-1}$) from 2000 to 2008, APM 08279+5255 was found in a fainter state in the latest X-ray exposures ($f_{\rm2-10}\simeq2.7\times10^{-13}\rm~erg~s^{-1}$), which can likely be ascribed to a lower X-ray activity. Moreover, the 2019 data present a prominent Fe K$α$ emission line and do not show any significant absorption line. This fainter state, coupled to the first hard X-ray sampling of APM 08279+5255, allowed us to measure X-ray reflection and the high-energy cutoff in this source for the first time. From the analysis of previous XMM-Newton and Chandra observations, X-ray reflection is demonstrated to be a long-lasting feature of this source, but less prominent prior to 2008, possibly due to a stronger primary emission. The estimated high-energy cutoff ($E_{\rm cut}=99_{-35}^{+91}$ keV) sets a new redshift record for the farthest ever measured and places APM 08279+5255 in the allowed region of the compactness-temperature diagram of X-ray coronae, in agreement with previous results on high-$z$ quasars.

Acoustic Neutrino Detection In a Adriatic Multidisciplinary Observatory (ANDIAMO)
Creators: name: Simonelli, Andrea
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The existence of cosmic accelerators able to emit charged particles up to EeV energies has been confirmed by the observations made in the last years by experiments such as Auger and Telescope Array. The interaction of such energetic cosmic-rays with gas or low energy photons, surrounding the astrophysical sources or present in the intergalactic medium, guarantee an ultra-high-energy neutrino related emission. When these energetic neutrinos interact in a medium produce a thermo-acoustic process where the energy of generated particle cascades can be conveyed in a pressure pulse propagating into the same medium. The kilometric attenuation length as well as the well-defined shape of the expected pulse suggest a large-area-undersea-array of acoustic sensors as an ideal observatory. For this scope, we propose to exploit the existing and no more operative offshore (oil rigs) powered platforms in the Adriatic sea as the main infrastructure to build an acoustic submarine array of dedicated hydrophones covering a surface area up to 10000 Km^2 and a volume up to 500 Km^2.
