description: The instance of existing school asset care, maintenance and regeneration represents the opportunity to develop some researches based on an model for an integrated management of the maintenance of learning spaces quality and efficiency, in order to re-think and modify them as “shared urban strategic resources” through which directly to involve the users operating both in schools and in neighbourhoods. An intervention philosophy has therefore emerged, based on the principle of ‘resilience’ within the school-city macrosystem: a complex system where technological, ecological and social elements co-exist and co-evolve within a vision linking the resource preservation culture with the living sustainability culture.

description: We analyze the steady-state transmission of high-momentum (high-$k$) electromagnetic waves through metal-semiconductor multilayer systems with loss and gain in the near-infrared (NIR). Using a semi-classical optical gain model in conjunction with the scattering matrix method (SMM), we study indium gallium arsenide phosphide (InGaAsP) quantum wells as the active semiconductor, in combination with the metals, aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and silver (Ag). Under moderate external pumping levels, we find that NIR transmission through Ag/InGaAsP systems may be enhanced by several orders of magnitude relative to the unpumped case, over a large angular and frequency bandwidth. Conversely, transmission enhancement through AZO/InGaAsP systems is orders of magnitude smaller, and has a strong frequency dependence. We discuss the relative importance of Purcell enhancement on our results and validate analytical calculations based on the SMM with numerical finite-difference time domain simulations.

Birth of the Universe from the Landscape of String Theory

description: We show that a unique, most probable and stable solution for the wavefunction of the universe, with a very small cosmological constant Λ1≃(πlpN)2, can be predicted from the supersymmetric minisuperspace with N vacua, of the landscape of string theory without reffering to the antropic principle. Due to the nearest neighbor tunneling in moduli space lattice, the N-fold degeneracy of vacua is lifted and a discrete spectrum of bound state levels over the whole minisuperspace emerges. SUSY is spontaneously broken by these bound states, with discrete nonzero energy levels Λs≃(sπlpN)2, s=1,2,...
Retinal Neurons Card Game!

Publisher: name: National Teaching Repository
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 520299
subject: Biological psychology not elsewhere classified

description: This card game provides a fun, interactive way to consolidate knowledge of the retinal neurons. The game described is based on the classic “Snap” card game where the aim is to identify matching cards. In this game, matching means identifying two cards that describe the same retinal neuron. For example, a picture of a rod photoreceptor on one card and a description matching a rod photoreceptor on another card.
 However, the cards could also be used for a different game such as building a retina. Groups of players could compete (by correctly answering questions, for example) to collect cards representing each retinal neuron to complete the game. What is included? Included in this resource are: “Retinal Neurons Card Game”: this document contains the cards required for the game and should be printed double sided, `flip on long edge’. Individual cards can then be laminated and cut out. “Overview of cards”: this spreadsheet shows the information presented on each card. “Retinal Neurons Card Game instructions”: this instruction sheet contains more detailed information about game play. Who can play? Number of players: 2-4 players + 1 additional person to check responses are correct (the `judge’). Given that this information may be new to players, it is prudent to have an independent person there who can check that the responses (match or no match) are correct. Cards The retinal neurons card game includes: 14 rod photoreceptor cards 14 cone photoreceptor cards 6 bipolar cell cards 10 retinal ganglion cell cards 2 `blind spot’ cards* 2 `3-dimensional perception’ cards*
 *The `blind spot’ cards and the `3-dimensional perception’ cards are optional (more information in the `Retinal Neurons Card Game instructions’ document).

description: These materials reflect work done for a 2016 article for American Libraries magazine ( http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2016/01/04/special-report-digital-humanities-libraries/). In writing the piece, the authors were charged with interviewing a variety of librarians about digital humanities. The originally submitted manuscript, which serves as the main record here, includes perspectives on digital humanities from academic librarians, a public librarian, and two school librarians. The subsequent published version, edited by American Libraries, retained most of the academic librarians' quotations but omitted the view points of the other librarians. It also includes quotations from an interview with the vendor, Gale Cengage, which was conducted by American Libraries, not the authors. The authors were not aware of of these quotes prior to publication of the article. Hence, the authors provide two supplementary files with the main record:
1) the last version of the article the authors submitted American Libraries. This is the version they expected would be published.
2) the text of a blog post the authors wrote after the published version appeared.

description: Symmetry plays a fundamentally important role in physics. In this work, we find a conservation law, $S^{\dagger}(H_{c}^{\dagger})S(H_{c})=I$, which is valid for any non-Hermitian scattering center $H_c$. As a result, the reflections and transmissions of a non-Hermitian system $\left\{ r,t\right\}$ and its Hermitian conjugation system $\left\{ \bar{r},\bar{t}\right\} $ satisfy the conservation law $\bar{r}^{\ast}r+\bar{t}^{\ast}t=1$, instead of the energy conservation law that applies to incoming and outgoing waves in a Hermitian system. Consequently, the pseudo-Hermiticity of a non-Hermitian system ensures an energy-difference conservation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the energy-difference conservation is respectively valid and invalid in two prototypical anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems, where the energy-difference conservation is protected by the pseudo-Hermiticity. Our findings provide profound insight into the conservation law, the pseudo-Hermiticity, and the anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry in non-Hermitian systems.

description: Claim paragraph (from the sourcing sheet): We selected the claim that concern of infecting others positively predicts future social distancing practices. This reflects the following statement from the paper’s abstract: “Concern for others (positively) and fear of missing social events (negatively) predicted social distancing.” The claim was tested by analyzing the data in Mplus 8.4 using the Bayes estimator with a conservative convergence criterion of .001. All parameters used noninformative priors. The MCMC estimation proceeded in two chains. Final convergence was determined by potential scale reduction (PSR). Following convergence, trace plots were examined to identify potential issues in the mixing of the MCMC chains. Bayesian 95% credibility intervals (95% BCI) for the posterior distributions were reported. This resulted in concern of infecting others being prospectively associated with more social distancing over the next two weeks (beta = 0.22, 95% BCI: 0.089, 0.346). The focal test in the original paper is: This resulted in concern of infecting others being prospectively associated with more social distancing over the next two weeks (beta = 0.22, 95% BCI: 0.089, 0.346).

description: We propose an extension to the Davydov D$_2$ Ansatz in the dynamics study of the Holstein molecular crystal model with diagonal and off-diagonal exciton-phonon coupling using the Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variational principle. The new trial state by the name of the "multi-D$_2$ Ansatz" is a linear combination of Davydov D$_2$ trial states, and its validity is carefully examined by quantifying how faithfully it follows the Schrödinger equation. Considerable improvements in accuracy have been demonstrated in comparison with the usual Davydov trial states, i.e., the single D$_1$ and D$_2$ Ansätze. With an increase in the number of the Davydov D$_2$ trial states in the multi-D$_2$ Ansatz, deviation from the exact Schrödinger dynamics is gradually diminished, leading to a numerically exact solution to the Schrödinger equation.

description: Recently, Sato et al. proposed an public verifiable blind quantum computation (BQC) protocol by inserting a third-party arbiter. However, it is not true public verifiable in a sense, because the arbiter is determined in advance and participates in the whole process. In this paper, a public verifiable protocol for measurement-only BQC is proposed. The fidelity between arbitrary states and the graph states of 2-colorable graphs is estimated by measuring the entanglement witnesses of the graph states,so as to verify the correctness of the prepared graph states. Compared with the previous protocol, our protocol is public verifiable in the true sense by allowing other random clients to execute the public verification. It also has greater advantages in the efficiency, where the number of local measurements is O(n^3*log {n}) and graph states' copies is O(n^2*log{n}).

description: The $m_T$-dependencies of the femto-scales, the so-called interferometry and source radii, are investigated within the hydrokinetic model for different types of particle pairs - pion-pion, kaon-kaon, proton-proton and proton-lambda, - produced in Pb+Pb and $p+p$ collisions at the LHC. In particular, such property of the femto-scales momentum behavior as $m_T$-scaling is studied for the systems with (w) and without (w/o) intensive transverse flow, and also w and w/o re-scattering at the final afterburner stage of the matter evolution. The detail spatiotemporal description obtained within hydrokinetic model is compared with the simple analytical results for the spectra and longitudinal interferometry radii depending on the effective temperature on the hypersurface of maximal emission, proper time of such emission, and intensity of transverse flow. The derivation of the corresponding analytical formulas and discussion about a possibility for their utilization by the experimentalists for the simple femtoscopy data analysis is the main aim of this theoretical investigation.

description: The world is going through epoch-making changes that are cutting a deep swathe through the way we are, the way we organise our lives and behave, triggered by three consecutive revolutions, macro, micro and nano, sparked by globalisation. We need to follow the continuous thread that runs through them to be able to get to grips with the causes, connections, impacts and trends that will help us live new situations in a profoundly different world, in the Era of Awareness. These powerful changes will need to be understood in order to harness the opportuni- ties they have to offer and to be able to reorganise our socio-economic system along the lines of a new responsible and sustainable development model that will amalgamate growth, competitiveness, employment and quality of life. Changes that have steadily impacted on all levels of society, triggering discontinuity, broken paradigms and serious hardship. A Copernican revolution destined to change our habits and behaviour, that will also influence the way we live and the way we build.

description: The environmental design and its complex multi-disciplinary consequences are central in the thinking of the responsibilities, which the Institutes of Knowledge are based on. It is no longer a battle to the forefront, just for the explorers. It is an acquired and consolidated culture, but from an operational standpoint there are many areas of innovation, development, affirmation still to develop. The article focuses on four central aspects of the new culture of energy efficiency in urban systems: the new global/local decision making, the sustainability in urban processes, the new skills for research and development, the growing interest of industries in innovative urban technologies. It provides the main trends in Europe and a vision of a possible exit from the complex socio-economic situation of today: a culture of complexity and energy innovation as factors of development.

Higher dimensional dilaton black holes in the presence of exponential nonlinear electrodynamics

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We examine the higher dimensional action in which gravity is coupled to the exponential nonlinear electrodynamic and a scalar dilaton field. We construct a new class of $n$-dimensional static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions of this theory in the presence of the dilaton potential with two Liouville-type terms. In the presence of two Liouville-type dilaton potential, the asymptotic behavior of the obtained black holes are neither flat nor (A)dS. Due to the nonlinear nature of electrodynamic field, the electric field has finite value near the origin where $r\rightarrow0$ and goes to zero as $r\rightarrow\infty$. Interestingly enough, we find that in the absence of the dilaton field, the electric field has a finite value at $r=0$, while as soon as the dilaton field is taken into account, the electric field diverges as $r\rightarrow 0$. This implies that the presence of the dilaton field changes the behaviour of the electric field near the origin. In the limiting case where the nonlinear parameter $β$ goes to infinity, our solutions reduce to dilaton black holes of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity in higher dimensions. We compute the conserved and thermodynamic quantities of the solutions and show that these quantities satisfy the first law of black holes thermodynamics on the horizon.

description: New technologies and communication standards have changed traditional network processes. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging technologies where devices are connected to facilitate the users. When the networks are more congested due to a large number of users then the existing routing protocol and communication channels suffer from congestion, disconnection, overhead, and packet drop issues. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are adopted to support the ground networks for more feasible data communication. These networks provide coverage facilities to IoT networks and provide smooth data dissemination services. Through the use of relay and cooperative communication technologies, UAVs could enlarge the communication space for IoT networks. Traditional network routing protocols have been adopted for data communication in these networks. However, the adopted protocols are not able to handle mobility and uncertain network conditions. This paper proposes a Decision-based Routing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Internet of Things (DR-UAVIoT) network. The proposed protocol is useful for UAV-to-IoT and UAV-to?UAV data communication. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated with the existing protocols in terms of data delivery, delay, and network overhead. The experimental results indicate the better performance of the proposed protocol in terms of less delay, less overhead, and better data delivery ratio as compared with existing routing protocols.
Building a Progressive-Situational Model of Post-Diagnosis Information Seeking for Parents of Individuals with Down syndrome
Creators: name: Gibson, Amelia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: This grounded theory study used in-depth, semi-structured interview to examine the information-seeking behaviors of 35 parents of children with Down syndrome. Emergent themes include a progressive pattern of behavior including information overload and avoidance, passive attention, and active information seeking; varying preferences between tacit and explicit information at different stages; and selection of information channels and sources that varied based on personal and situational constraints. Based on the findings, the author proposes a progressive model of health information seeking and a framework for using this model to collect data in practice. The author also discusses the practical and theoretical implications of a responsive, progressive approach to understanding parents’ health information–seeking behavior.

description: One of the strategies used to exploit renewable energy resources is that of distributed microgeneration. It is necessary to integrate the dominant, but scarcely efficient, photovoltaic technology with others able to exploit the resources available throughout the territory. Micro wind power has entered into the market of integrated building systems thanks to a gradual renewal of local legislation. The complexity of predictive mechanisms for this technology dictates the utilisation of auxiliary design tools. Technological innovation must be stimulated by experiments that create a demand for self-production, a sort of savings for the local people and development of the entire community. This is all about a process at different scales commencing at the urban planning phase.

Any technical solution, it is now difficult to define «conform», because of information sources that instruct it, expected performances, and results at architectural, technical and material level. By increasing uncertainty and risk error. Starting from this background, the paper describes the research activities that take place at DASTEC in Reggio Calabria and that represent some potential solutions.

description: Utility mining emerged to overcome the limitations of frequent itemset mining by considering the utility of an item. Utility of an item is based on user's interest or preference. Recently, temporal data mining has become a core technical data processing technique to deal with changing data. On-shelf utility mining considers on-shelf time period of item and gets the accurate utility values of itemsets in temporal database. In traditional on-shelf utility mining, profits of all items in databases are considered as positive values. However, in real applications, some items may have negative profit. Most of the traditional algorithms are used to handle static database. In practical situations, temporal databases are continually appended or updated. High on-shelf utility itemsets needs to be updated. Re-running the temporal mining algorithm every time is ineffective since it neglects previously discovered itemsets. It repeats the work done previously. In this paper, an effective algorithm is proposed to find high on-shelf utility itemsets with negative values from the dynamic updated temporal database.

description: Independently estimating pixel values in Monte Carlo rendering results in a perceptually sub-optimal white-noise distribution of error in image space. Recent works have shown that perceptual fidelity can be improved significantly by distributing pixel error as blue noise instead. Most such works have focused on static images, ignoring the temporal perceptual effects of animation display. We extend prior formulations to simultaneously consider the spatial and temporal domains, and perform an analysis to motivate a perceptually better spatio-temporal error distribution. We then propose a practical error optimization algorithm for spatio-temporal rendering and demonstrate its effectiveness in various configurations.

description: I suggest the possibility that holographic quantum gravity is, in some sense, equivalent to quantum information theory. Some radical implications would follow. First, the theory of quantum gravity should have no adjustable coupling constants, similar to string theory. Thus, all complete bulk theories of quantum gravity are dual to each other. By setting up an appropriately entangled state, it should be possible to find wormholes connecting any two quantum gravity theories (e.g. string theory and loop quantum gravity). Secondly, if we represent space at one time as a tensor network, then dynamics is automatically encoded via gauge-equivalent descriptions of the boundary state. This would appear to imply, contrary to semiclassical expectations, that a closed universe should have only one state.

CCCloud Casalgrande Ceramic Cloud. From production to project
Creators: name: Alini, Luigi
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2011

description: One of the industrial sectors in which our Country is still a worldwide leader is ceramics. The analysts in the business rely on this industry since it managed to turn a time of slump into the opportunity to innovate. Casalgrande Padana stands for an exemplary case in that over the last decade it consolidated its worldwide leadership by achieved the much-sought convergence between manufacturers, professionals, research and academia. A testimony of this effort is the recent work entitled CCCloud, the first Italian effort by Kengo Kuma, resulting from a research study on ceramic materials assigned by Casalgrande to the Department of Architecture of the Universities of Ferrara and Siracusa.

Re-Innovating. Technological research contribution in the recovery of Our Lady of Mercy Church in Baranzate
Creators: name: Mangiarotti, Anna
name: Paoletti, Ingrid
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2011

description: The recovery project of Our Lady of Mercy Church in Baranzate, by Angelo Mangiarotti and Bruno Morassutti, with Aldo Favini for structures, built in 1956, and now in charge by Giulio Barazzetta, Anna Mangiarotti, Ingrid Paoletti, Tito Neri for structures and Giancarlo Chiesa for hvac, has requested a high technological effort in order to identify the technical options in order to ‘re-innovate’ on this building. The aim is to increase performances and internal comfort, while maintaining the original concept of the church. The deteriorated envelope will be changed with a façade envelope in steel dry assembled and a triple glazed unit high performance and with face fritted surfaced in order to reproduce the original architectural effects. Thanks to hvac, performances are radically improved.

Project for a renewable energy research centre
Creators: name: Giachetta, Andrea
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2011

description: In Liguria, where sustainable approaches to the design, construction and management of buildings enjoy scant currency, the idea of a company from Milan (FERA s.r.l.) setting up a research centre for studies into renewable energy resources, could well open up very interesting development opportunities. The project includes: environmental rehabilitation (restoration) projects; strategies for the protection of water resources and waste management systems; passive and active solar systems (solar thermal and experiments with thermodynamic solar energy); hyperinsulation systems, passive cooling of buildings; use of natural materials; bio-climatic use of vegetation. The author describes the project content within the context of the multidisciplinary work that has gone into it.

Architectural Technology and Technological Planning
Creators: name: Giallocosta, Giorgio
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2011

description: At least three fundamental aspects of the many singular technological approaches to architectural planning are currently evolving significantly and are ripe for potential development. The first relates to enhanced opportunities for defining the ex-ante characteristics and performance of building products and components, but particularly concerns potential leadership assumptions in planning and the ‘reification’ of architecture through ‘collective’ behaviours. The second relates to the tendency to try and overcome the connotation of architectural projects, inclusive of their entire life cycle. The third relates to current evolutionary developments (either potential or simply implicit) in performance approach.

Thoughts on basic training for the design: relationships with research innovations
Creators: name: Raiteri, Rossana
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2011

description: If research, also in the technology field, produces interesting results, little attention has devoted to education and to the relationship between the first and the second. But the wealth of knowledge now available (even for web accessibility) is profoundly changing the approach to design and, therefore, to university education. This contribution is to open up a debate and to encourage a confrontation on this issue. One critical point concerns the alternation between the conceptualization and the experience throughout the process that must see the student as the protagonist: from first ideas up to the actual execution and to the expected life of what has been designed. This implies that we are favoring a complex approach to simple themes rather than the reverse.

description: Abstract Objective: To discover what is known about music therapy and the mental health of healthcare workers, and the outcomes that have been reported. Introduction: Music therapy has been documented to improve mental health. This scoping review aims to assess the extent the literature examines music therapy and healthcare workers’ mental health and what outcomes have been reported. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider experimental, quasi-experimental, and qualitative studies and systematic reviews that include healthcare workers in all healthcare settings and geographic locations caring for patients at the time of the study. It will consider studies that examine music therapy and the mental health of healthcare workers and the reported and observed outcomes. Methods: Published and unpublished primary studies, reviews, and text and opinion papers published in English will be included in the search strategy across nine databases. After duplicates are removed, two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts against the inclusion criteria for the review and then assess the full text of selected citations against the inclusion criteria, recording any reasons for exclusion. Data will be extracted from papers included in the scoping review by two independent reviewers using a data extraction tool developed by the reviewers. The authors will determine how to present the extracted data after analysis, but the data will be presented in either a diagrammatic or tabular format that aligns with the objective and question of the scoping review and accompanied by a narrative summary.

Response to "Comment on `Modification of Lie's transform perturbation theory for charged particle motion in a magnetic field'" [Phys. Plasmas 30, 104701 (2023)]

description: Dr. Brizard's comment on my work is based on a conceived procedure that does not come from my work. The defense of his claim that the modification of the so-called standard Lie's transform theory is unnecessary is also unsupported. This response reveals in detail the inconsistency issues in the so-called standard Lie's transform theory by analyzing both its results and root causes. The problem in the so-called standard Lie's transform theory is beyond the issue to take into account the ordering difference between the guiding center motion and gyromotion. The inconsistent commutation of derivative and limit causes another issue. Besides, the so-called standard Lie's transform formulation leads to an unnecessarily lengthy and tedious derivation process for a one or two page task under the singular (or renormalized) formalism described in my paper.

Stochastic approach to generalized Schr{ö}dinger equation: A method of eigenfunction expansion
Creators: name: Tsuchida, Satoshi

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using a method of eigenfunction expansion, a stochastic equation is developed for the generalized Schr{ö}dinger equation with random fluctuations. The wave field $ ψ $ is expanded in terms of eigenfunctions: $ ψ = \sum_{n} a_{n} (t) ϕ_{n} (x) $, with $ ϕ_{n} $ being the eigenfunction that satisfies the eigenvalue equation $ H_{0} ϕ_{n} = λ_{n} ϕ_{n} $, where $ H_{0} $ is the reference "Hamiltonian" conventionally called "unperturbed" Hamiltonian. The Langevin equation is derived for the expansion coefficient $ a_{n} (t) $, and it is converted to the Fokker--Planck (FP) equation for a set $ \{ a_{n} \} $ under the assumption of the Gaussian white noise for the fluctuation. This procedure is carried out by a functional integral, in which the functional Jacobian plays a crucial role for determining the form of the FP equation. The analyses are given for the FP equation by adopting several approximate schemes.
