SPATIAL DIMENSION

description: The editions of the Olympic Games have created a major urban transformation, allowing for a new critical perspective on the new urban dimension of the Games, in particular the winter edition underwent profound transformations in spatial patterns. The study analyses the different spatial models of the Winter Olympic Games developed up to the present day. Through a special focus on the particular relationship between the Olympic Village and the urban fabric, useful tools will be provided for the evaluation of the Olympic event on the subject territory. These spatial models show the importance of the spatial impact of the Olympic Village on the city, allowing us to consider Olympic urbanism as an asset that cannot be destroyed in the post-Olympic phase. Since the first edition of the Winter Olympics in Chamonix in 1924, the event was organised in mountain locations with ski resorts, a sports hall and accommodation structures. We will observe how the winter edition since Oslo 1952 has complexified into a broader spatial model. Therefore, we will analyse how the creation of new structures will always entail some territorial changes and new impacts on the internal connections of the city and the territory. The research proposes an innovative analysis of Olympic urbanism in general, and of Olympic villages in particular, which consolidates the field of study that Olympic urbanism represents and offers a useful document for the future construction of new Olympic villages in the coming decades. In addition, the study aims to offer a reflection on the specific case of Turin 2006 in order to observe how the regional model has become the model favoured by future candidate cities. Through the analysis we will observe how the winter edition has been transformed into a model that is permanently embedded in the regional strategies of the host cities. Therefore, the Olympic event will be a key element for the planning of regional infrastructures, the transport system, services and housing in the regional areas.

description: We demonstrate in some detail how Macdonald polynomials emerge from the recently introduced 3-Schur functions when the plane-partition vector time-variables are projected onto the ordinary scalar times under non-vanishing angles, which depend on $q$ and $t$. We also explain how the cut-and-join operators smoothly interpolate between different cases. Most of consideration is restricted to level two.

description: Femtosecond lasers can form long plasma filaments over distances ranging from several centimetres to several meters which can be used advantageously for high speed flow control, in particular for drag reduction. Recently the first experimental demonstration of femtosecond energy deposition in a wind tunnel has been reported. This paper completes this report by presenting a parametric analysis of the effect of the femtosecond energy deposition in the flow. In particular, the effect stagnation pressure on the flow perturbation and the drag variation is investigated. Drag measurements show that higher reductions in drag are obtained for larger stagnation pressures.

description: Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field with odd residual characteristic and let $G$ be the $F$-points of a connected reductive group defined over $F$. Let $θ$ be an $F$-involution of $G$. Let $H$ be the subgroup of $θ$-fixed points in $G$. Let $χ$ be a quasi-character of $H$. A smooth complex representation $(π,V)$ of $G$ is $(H,χ)$-distinguished if there exists a nonzero element $λ$ in $\operatorname{Hom}_H(π,χ)$. We generalize a construction of descended invariant linear forms on Jacquet modules first carried out independently by Kato and Takano (2008), and Lagier (2008) to the setting of $(H,χ)$-distinction. We follow the methods of Kato and Takano, providing a new proof of similar results of Delorme (2010). Moreover, we give an $(H,χ)$-analogue of Kato and Takano's relative version of the Jacquet Subrepresentation Theorem. In the case that $χ$ is unramified, $π$ is parabolically induced from a $θ$-stable parabolic subgroup of $G$, and $λ$ arises via the closed orbit in $Q\backslash G / H$, we study the (non)vanishing of the descended forms via the support of $λ$-relative matrix coefficients.

description: Hybrid rocket engine technology has been advanced enormously at European universities, research institutions and companies in the last decade. New fuels like paraffin-based mixtures have been developed in order to increase regression rate which enables more compact engine designs with high thrust density. With this, the application of hybrid rocket motors has become feasible in several fields like sounding rocket and smallsat launch vehicle propulsion systems. The start-up HyImpulse is developing a paraffin-based hybrid rocket engine with 75 kN thrust in order to power a hybrid propulsion sounding rocket and smallsat launch vehicle. To reach a design of a high performing launch vehicle, it was identified as crucial to choose the best performing oxidizer for hybrid rocket applications: Liquid oxygen. HyImpulse has successfully developed a 10 kN hybrid rocket motor using paraffin-based fuels and liquid oxygen.

description: A well-known open problem in graph theory asks whether Stanley's chromatic symmetric function, a generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph, distinguishes between any two non-isomorphic trees. Previous work has proven the conjecture for a class of trees called spiders. This paper generalizes the class of spiders to $n$-spiders, where normal spiders correspond to $n = 1$, and verifies the conjecture for $n = 2$.

FLAME

description: The flame stabilization represents a relevant issue in aero-engine design. In fact, the growing demand of pollutant emissions reduction without significant losses of the combustion efficiency has driven the efforts of the scientific community towards lean flames. Lean fuel mixtures, characterized by low temperature flames, could manifest an unstable behaviour which can easily lead to the flame extinction due to the establishment of the blowout condition. This requires the implementation of control systems to avoid flame instability occurrence. The present work shows an investigation of the impact of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuation on lifted flame stabilization in a methane CH4-air Bunsen burner at ambient conditions. Two different plasma actuator configurations, powered with a high voltage (HV)/high frequency sinusoidal signal, have been investigated. Once the best actuator configuration was selected, the efficiency of the plasma actuation has been evaluated in terms of the flame lift-off distance, length and shape. In particular, in order to change the actuator power dissipation, different peak-to-peak voltages Vpp were tested, while the actuation frequency was kept equal to 20 kHz. The application of plasma discharges to flame stabilization leads to plasma-attached flames or plasma-enhanced lifted flames, depending on the air and fuel flow rates. At air flow rate of 1.54 g/s, plasma actuation allowed to decrease the lift-off height until the fuel jet velocity was below about 0.05 m/s thanks to the extension of the flame region upstream, toward the burner exit section. Beyond this value, it had no significant impact on the flame lift-off height, even though the amplitude of the lift-off height oscillations reduced coupled with a more stable behaviour of the lifting flame. The benefit of the plasma actuation increased by reducing the air flow rate to 1.35 g/s. In this condition, plasma-assisted flame reattachment was evident at each fuel velocity, in combination with an increasing flame height proportionally to the fuel jet velocity.

description: In this issue, our outstanding colleagues review the recent exponential growth in our understanding of copy number variants (CNV) in neuropsychiatric disorders. The impact of DNA dosage changes on phenotypic traits was first understood, and leveraged for genetic mapping, by Drosophila geneticists nearly a century ago. Evidence for DNA dosage changes influencing human phenotypes came several decades later with the observation that Down Syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. This was followed by discoveries that dosage changes far smaller than the scale of a whole chromosome, limited to smaller sets of genes, could also cause clinical syndromes. These hallmark syndromes have set the stage for our current understanding of CNV disorders, and in this issue, we review several classic syndromes, including Williams syndrome or 7q11.23 deletion, reviewed by Osbourne and Mervis; 22q11 deletion syndrome reviewed by Gur et al; and 16p11.2 deletion/duplication, reviewed by Chung and colleagues. DNA dosage changes can also affect single genes; the impact of NRXN1 dosage changes is reviewed by Fuccillo and Pak.

Here the analysis by Friar, Madland, and Lynn of naturalness in a relativistic point-coupling model is extended. Fits to experimental nuclear data support naive dimensional analysis as a useful principle and imply a mean-field expansion analogous to that found for mean-field meson models.

description: Importance: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been shown to be beneficial for adults with type 2 diabetes using intensive insulin therapy, but its use in type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin without prandial insulin has not been well studied. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of CGM in adults with type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin without prandial insulin in primary care practices. Design, Setting, and Participants: This randomized clinical trial was conducted at 15 centers in the US (enrollment from July 30, 2018, to October 30, 2019; follow-up completed July 7, 2020) and included adults with type 2 diabetes receiving their diabetes care from a primary care clinician and treated with 1 or 2 daily injections of long- or intermediate-acting basal insulin without prandial insulin, with or without noninsulin glucose-lowering medications. Interventions: Random assignment 2:1 to CGM (n = 116) or traditional blood glucose meter (BGM) monitoring (n = 59). Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level at 8 months. Key secondary outcomes were CGM-measured time in target glucose range of 70 to 180 mg/dL, time with glucose level at greater than 250 mg/dL, and mean glucose level at 8 months. Results: Among 175 randomized participants (mean [SD] age, 57 [9] years; 88 women [50%]; 92 racial/ethnic minority individuals [53%]; mean [SD] baseline HbA1c level, 9.1% [0.9%]), 165 (94%) completed the trial. Mean HbA1c level decreased from 9.1% at baseline to 8.0% at 8 months in the CGM group and from 9.0% to 8.4% in the BGM group (adjusted difference, -0.4% [95% CI, -0.8% to -0.1%]; P =.02). In the CGM group, compared with the BGM group, the mean percentage of CGM-measured time in the target glucose range of 70 to 180 mg/dL was 59% vs 43% (adjusted difference, 15% [95% CI, 8% to 23%]; P <.001), the mean percentage of time at greater than 250 mg/dL was 11% vs 27% (adjusted difference, -16% [95% CI, -21% to -11%]; P <.001), and the means of the mean glucose values were 179 mg/dL vs 206 mg/dL (adjusted difference, -26 mg/dL [95% CI, -41 to -12]; P <.001). Severe hypoglycemic events occurred in 1 participant (1%) in the CGM group and in 1 (2%) in the BGM group. Conclusions and Relevance: Among adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin without prandial insulin, continuous glucose monitoring, as compared with blood glucose meter monitoring, resulted in significantly lower HbA1c levels at 8 months.

description: First-principles total-energy calculations are carried out for (001) surfaces of the cubic perovskite ATiO3 compounds PbTiO3, BaTiO3, and SrTiO3. Both AO-terminated and TiO2-terminated surfaces are considered, and fully-relaxed atomic configurations are determined. In general, BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 are found to have a rather similar behavior, while PbTiO3 is different in many respects because of the partially covalent character of the Pb-O bonds. PbTiO3 and BaTiO3 are ferroelectrics, and the influence of the surface upon the ferroelectric distortions is studied for the case of a tetragonal ferroelectric distortion parallel to the surface. The surface relaxation energies are found to be substantial, i.e., many times larger than the bulk ferroelectric well depth. Nevertheless, the influence of the surface upon the ferroelectric order parameter is modest, and is qualitatively as well as quantitatively different for the two materials. Surface energies and electronic properties are also computed. It is found that for BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 surfaces, both AO-terminated and TiO2-terminated surfaces can be thermodynamically stable, whereas for PbTiO3 only the PbO surface termination is stable.

description: The spectrum of edge excitations is derived for the spin-unpolarized $ν= 2$ and $ν= 2/3$ FQHE. Numerical diagonalization of a system of six electrons on a disc confirms that the edge $ν= 2/3$ spin-singlet FQHE state consists of oppositely directed spin and charge branches on the same physical edge. The highly correlated $ν= 2/3$ singlet edge is shown to have the same spin branch as the $ν= 2$ singlet edge, providing evidence that the same $SU(2)_{k = 1}$ Kac-Moody algebra describes all unmixed spin branches. The spin and charge branches of the singlet state at $ν= 2/3$ are less coupled than the two branches of the spin-polarized state at the same filling factor, suggesting that the conductance along an edge may increase sharply across the polarized-unpolarized transition.

description: Black phosphorus (BP) is a two-dimensional layered material composed of phosphorus atoms. Recently, it was demonstrated that external perturbations such as an electric field close the band gap in few-layer BP, and can even induce a band inversion, resulting in an insulator phase with a finite energy gap or a Dirac semimetal phase characterized by two separate Dirac nodes. At the transition between the two phases, a semi-Dirac state appears in which energy disperses linearly along one direction and quadratically along the other. In this work, we study the optical conductivity of few-layer BP using a lattice model and the corresponding continuum model, incorporating the effects of an external electric field and finite temperature. We find that the low-frequency optical conductivity scales a power law that differs depending on the phase, which can be utilized as an experimental signature of few-layer BP in different phases. We also systematically analyze the evolution of the material parameters as the electric field increases, and the consequence on the power-law behavior of the optical conductivity.

description: Contributions of the direct quark mechanism are studied in the nonmesonic weak decays of light hypernuclei. The $ΛN \to NN$ transition is described by the one pion exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism, induced by the four-quark vertices in the effective weak Hamiltonian. By employing a realistic wave function of the $Λ$ inside the hypernuclei, nonmesonic decay rates of $^4_Λ$H, $^4_Λ$He, and $^5_Λ$He are calculated. The results show that the direct quark mechanism is significantly large and gives a large $ΔI =3/2$ contribution in the J=0 channel. The relative phase between the one-pion exchange and the direct-quark contributions is determined so that the effective weak Hamiltonian for quarks give both of them consistently. We find that the sum of these two contributions reproduce the current available experimental data fairly well.

description: We study the magnetization process of the $S=1/2$ antiferromagnetic spin ladder in the presence of the second and the third-neighbor couplings which lead to frustration with the typical nearest-neighbor coupling. We use degenerate perturbation theory and level spectroscopy analysis of the numerical diagonalization data of the Hamiltonian for finite systems. We find two kinds of plateaux at half the saturation moment in the magnetization curve. One is mainly due to the second-neighbor couplings and the other to the third-neighbor couplings. The mechanisms of these two plateaux are quite different with each other.

description: This investigation included the construction of a spectral library of Mtb H37Rv peptides followed by a comparison of the results of data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA) workflows for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv proteins in human urine, with potential applications in tuberculosis diagnostics. The spectral library was constructed from DDA runs on tryptic peptides from Mtb H37Rv cell lysate. Library features were mapped to 30,341 unique peptides, 13,714 of which could be mapped to 2,332 proteins, 59.70% of the Mtb H37Rv proteome accounted for in the Sanger Institute database (NC_000962.3). Serial dilutions of Mtb H37Rv cell lysate in urine from PPD-negative volunteers were analyzed using both DDA and DIA. The resulting DDA spectra were analyzed in Proteome Discoverer™ 2.4.0 and DIA spectra in Skyline 20.2 using the above-mentioned spectral library with mProphet for peak-scoring. Data analysis parameters in the final DIA workflow were qix value (< 0.0076), library intensity dot-product (> 0.6), product mass error (< 0.85 ppm), retention time difference (< 3 min), and default dotp (> 0.6). The minimum Mtb total protein concentration that yielded a count of Mtb peptides higher than the negative controls was 6.25 ng/mL, with the final DIA workflow. In comparison, the DDA workflow only distinguished the 800 and 200 ng/mL samples from negative controls by peptide count. Therefore, the final DIA workflow may have an advantage over the DDA workflow employed for peptide detection within a lower analyte concentration range, suggesting it is more clinically relevant for Mtb diagnostics because lower concentrations of Mtb bioanalytes would be associated with less advanced TB infections.

description: The utility of selective retrieval processes in our everyday lives is evident across the varied contexts we are subjected to as human beings. Memory is characterised by an unlimited storage capacity, but limited retrieval capacity. Subsequently, we are selective in what we remember in a given context in order to use memory in an adaptive manner. Previous theory places memory at the centre of deriving and maintaining a sense of self and personal identity. In contrast however, the extent to which memory serves the representation of social identities and the groups to which they are linked is unclear. As social identities are said to be the extension of the self to the social context, the present empirical investigation examined the role of selective processes of retrieval and forgetting on the remembrance of social identity and group-based information in the areas of gender, religious, partisan, and ideological identity. Findings illustrated that we implicitly preserve and retrieve information that is relevant to our sense of social identity, whilst forgetting and implicitly diminishing information that is irrelevant. The findings also established that information retrieved not only pertains to the in-groups in which we seek membership, but also of opposing out-groups that seek to contrast and potentially challenge our in-group’s worldview. Furthermore, mechanisms and structures that support the representation of self were extended to the findings, delineating how processes of organisational and distinctive processing support the retrieval of social identity-based information of relevance and importance. The thesis concludes with the assertion that memory is not only the looking glass through which we see the reflection of the self, but also serves to act as the reflection through which we acquaint ourselves with, and relate ourselves to, our significant others in the social context.
The virtual crystal approximation revisited: Application to dielectric and piezoelectric properties of perovskites

description: We present an approach to the implementation of the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) for the study of properties of solid solutions in the context of density-functional methods. Our approach can easily be applied to any type of pseudopotential, and also has the advantage that it can be used to obtain estimates of the atomic forces that would arise if the real atoms were present, thus giving insight into the expected displacements in the real alloy. We have applied this VCA technique within the Vanderbilt ultrasoft-pseudopotential scheme to predict dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the Pb(Zr[0.5],Ti[0.5])O[3] solid solution in its paraelectric and ferroelectric phases, respectively. Comparison with calculations performed on ordered alloy supercells and with data on parents compounds demonstrates the adequacy of using the VCA for perovskite solid solutions. In particular, the VCA approach reproduces the anomalous Born effective charges and the large value of the piezoelectric coefficients.

description: Reliable collision avoidance is one of the main requirements for autonomous driving. Hence, it is important to correctly estimate the states of an unknown number of static and dynamic objects in real-time. Here, data association is a major challenge for every multi-target tracker. We propose a novel multi-target tracker called Greedy Dirichlet Process Filter (GDPF) based on the non-parametric Bayesian model called Dirichlet Processes and the fast posterior computation algorithm Sequential Updating and Greedy Search (SUGS). By adding a temporal dependence we get a real-time capable tracking framework without the need of a previous clustering or data association step. Real-world tests show that GDPF outperforms other multi-target tracker in terms of accuracy and stability.

description: In this book-length collection of poetry divided into three sections, I use a variety of forms to explore the anxieties of memory. Throughout the manuscript, the poems wrestle with the complications of inheritance and artifacts—those things that get left behind and held on to, both physical and intangible. In the first section, the poems are grounded in place and excavation practices, utilizing source material from the Historic St. Mary’s City website to add texture to the speaker’s ruminations on a failed relationship. The middle section of the manuscript serves as a bridge between the first and third sections, chronicling the problems of the physical act of making memories, refracting and returning to the same memory again and again and chronicling the shifts in memories as they age. In the final section of the manuscript, the poems turn toward family history, examining the speaker’s relationship to expired relatives and to the expectations they may have left lingering in her life.
Possible charge inhomogeneities in the CuO2 planes of YBa2Cu3O6+x (x=0.25, 0.45, 0.65, 0.94) from pulsed neutron diffraction

description: The atomic pair distribution functions (PDF) of four powder samples of YBa2Cu3O6+x (x=0.25, 0.45, 0.65, 0.94) at 15 K have been measured by means of pulsed neutron diffraction. The PDF is modelled using a full-profile fitting approach to yield structural parameters. In contrast to earlier XAFS work we find no evidence of a split apical oxygen site. However, a slightly improved fit over the average crystallographic model results when the planar Cu(2) site is split along the z-direction. This is interpreted in terms of charge inhomogeneities in the CuO2 planes.

Exact Eignstates for Trapped Weakly Interacting Bosons in Two Dimensions

description: A system of N two-dimensional weakly interacting bosons in a harmonic trap is considered. When the two-particle potential is a delta function Smith and Wilkin have analytically proved that the elementary symmetric polynomials of particle coordinates measured from the center of mass are exact eigenstates. In this study, we point out that their proof works equally well for an arbitrary two-particle potential which possesses the translational and rotational symmetries. We find that the interaction energy associated with the eigenstate with angular momentum L is equal to aN(N-1)/2+(b-a)NL/2, where a and b are the interaction energies of two bosons in the lowest-energy one-particle state with zero and one unit of angular momentum, respectively. Additionally, we study briefly the case of attractive quartic interactions. We prove rigorously that the lowest-energy state is the one in which all angular momentum is carried by the center of mass motion.

description: By studying the effective potential of the MSSM at finite temperature, we find that CP can be spontaneously broken in the intermediate region between the symmetric and broken phases separated by the bubble wall created at the phase transition. This type of CP violation is necessary to have a bubble wall profile connecting CP conserving vacua, while violating CP halfway and generating sufficient baryon number without contradiction to the experimantal bounds on CP violations. Several conditions on the parameters in the MSSM are found for CP to be broken in this manner.

description: The semiclassical approach, successfully applied in the past to the inelastic, inclusive electron scattering off nuclei, is extended to the treatment of exclusive processes. The final states interaction is accounted for in the mean field approximation, respecting the Pauli principle. The impact on the exclusive cross section of the shape of the potential binding the nucleons into the nucleus and of the distortion of the outgoing nucleon wave are explored. The exclusive scattering is found to be quite sensitive to the mean field final states interaction, unlike the inclusive one. Indeed we verify that the latter is not affected, as implied by unitarity, by the distortion of the outgoing nucleon wave except for the effect of relativity, which is modest in the range of momenta up to about 500 MeV/c. Furthermore, depending upon the correlations between the directions of the outgoing and of the initial nucleon, the exclusive cross-section turns out to be remarkably sensitive to the shape of the potential binding the nucleons. These correlations also critically affect the domain in the missing energy-- missing momentum plane where the exclusive process occurs.

description: Encapsulating cisplatin (CDDP) into liposomes to form lipid-platinum-chloride nanoparticles (LPC NPs) has shown a promising anticancer effect in melanoma, bladder, and liver cancer models. This promising anticancer effect of LPC NPs challenges us to study its implications in combination with photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, we report the therapeutic efficacy of PDT+LPC on a xenograft model of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Results showed that PDT+LPC significantly reduced the tumor volume by up to ~112%. Meanwhile, LPC, PDT+CDDP, or the CDDP group showed ~98.8%, ~73.1%, or ~39.5% volume reductions, respectively. Histological examination suggests that PDT+LPC or LPC treatment showed minimal side effects on renal damage compared to either CDDP or the PDT+CDDP group. Immunohistochemistry staining (IHC) staining on Ki-67, CD31, cleaved caspase-3, TUNEL assays, and western blots of tumor suppressor p53 confirmed consistent results. Most importantly, PDT+LPC prolonged tumor growth inhibition, which leads to minimum chemotherapy treatment administrations. Results suggest that PDT cytotoxicity provided a potent additive effect towards chemotherapy efficacy. Therefore, combined PDT with LPC NPs enhanced the therapeutic outcome in human OSCC.
