description: In line with the national and international context, where energy emerges as a means for development, and not an end in itself, the definition of strategic objectives and implementing strategies for energy and development needs to be based on an inclusive and integrated approach including all the implications of energy on social, economic and environmental dimensions. Looking at the Italian perspective, the UNESCO Chair in Energy for Sustainable Development at the Department of Energy has launched a new initiative, by proposing the activation of a ‘Multi-stakeholder Platform for Energy in Development’, to define a first national pilot experience of multi-actors collaborations including institutional and private sectors, civil society, academic and research sectors. The overall objective of the Platform is to identify, formulate and validate energy intervention strategies in line with the SDG7. In May 2016, the Platform has started the elaboration of the ‘Guidelines for projects in Energy & Development’. The guidelines contribute to define a national framework for planning energy projects in the development cooperation, referring to the best practices existing in the international framework.

description: Internationalization of higher education institutes is becoming a real opportunity of development in environmental and social subjects. This paper explores a case study where university agreements and student exchanges between low-middle income and high-income countries have started a process of international cooperation about environmental themes. The agreements, signed between two Italian and two Bolivian Universities, started formally in 2015 and include the cooperation through local authorities, private companies and non-governmental organizations. This case study proved the importance of Universities for implementing international programs concerning environmental issues in low-middle income countries, opening new opportunities for sustainable development.

description: We study the response functions (chromo-electric susceptibilities) for an interacting quark-gluon plasma. The interaction effects have been encoded in the effective fugacities for quasi-partons which are extracted self-consistently from the two equations of state for hot QCD. The first one is the fully perturbative $O(g^5)$ EOS and, the second one which is $O(g^6\ln(1/g))$, incorporates some non-perturbative effects. We find that response function shows large deviations from the ideal behavior. We further determine the temperature dependence of the Debye mass by fixing the effective coupling constant $Q^2$ which appears in the transport equation. We show that our formalism naturally yields the leading order HTL expression for the Debye mass if we employ the ideal EOS. Employing the Debye mass, we estimate the dissociation temperatures for various charmonium and bottomonium bound states. These results are consistent with the current theoretical studies.

description: In large cities, pedestrians can account for 40% to 50% of traffic fatalities. In 2014 there were 4,884 pedestrian fatalities and about 65,000 injuries in the United States (NHTSA, 2015). Many of these incidents occur at crosswalks where drivers fail to comply with pedestrian crossing laws. Driver compliance increased in Gainesville, Florida, after applying NHTSA’s high-visibility enforcement (HVE) model to pedestrian right-of-way laws. The original study report is available at www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/ nti/pdf/811786.pdf. This current study was a follow-up to the original Gainesville pedestrian HVE project. The objective was to determine the extent to which the observed increases in driver yielding obtained in the original study persisted over a follow-up period of nearly 4 years after the HVE intervention program ended.

description: More Cops More Stops (MCMS) was a high-visibility enforcement (HVE) program designed to address multiple traffic safety issues with one message and programmatic effort. Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in Oklahoma and Tennessee conducted heightened alcohol-impaired driving, seat belt, and speeding enforcement, which was advertised using the MCMS combined message. Highway safety researchers have previously tested the combined approach. Jones, Joksch, Lacey, Wiliszowski, and Marchetti (1995) evaluated a combined speeding, alcohol-impaired driving, and seat belt program. While the study did not reach definitive conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the combined approach, the study found combined enforcement to be taxing on law enforcement because it required heightened enforcement of multiple traffic laws at the same time. Also, the study suggested that the combined message was too complex and diluted the salience of each specific issue. The current research set out to test the MCMS combined concept using a controlled pre-post design, which allowed for identifying added benefits of a combined program over those associated with single-issue programs (i.e., Click It or Ticket (CIOT) and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over [DSOGPO]). Over a two-year period, LEAs in Oklahoma and Tennessee engaged in intensive enforcement for four waves of MCMS, two waves of CIOT and two waves of DSOGPO. The program and control areas in each State were exposed to CIOT and DSOGPO activities, but by design only the program areas were exposed to MCMS. Examining differences between the program and control areas allowed for isolating the effect of MCMS separate from the effects of CIOT and DSOGPO.

description: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just released a new resource for developing seat belt programs in the traffic safety community—Expanding the Seat Belt Program Toolbox: A Starter Kit for Trying New Program Ideas. Researchers examined strategies of behavior change proven effective in education, healthcare, advertising, and marketing, and considered application of these approaches to increase seat belt use. The result is this starter kit containing ideas of varying levels of readiness for occupant protection programmers to take and build from to enrich seat belt programming across the country. The 5 highlighted strategies selected among the 27 possibilities include High School Service-Learning Programs, Hospital Discharge Programs, Targeted Online Advertising, Online Learning/e-Learning, and Product/Message Placement. Five chapters explore these strategies. Each chapter begins with a subject matter expert’s historical account of the strategy and their description of how the strategy has worked in fields such as education and healthcare. The main feature of each chapter is the starter kit for pursuing use of the strategy to increase seat belt use. Researchers gathered guidance from the theoretical and practical foundations of each strategy and constructed resources to help program developers make informed decisions about the potential of each strategy in their seat belt programs. The strategies vary by readiness, as some require pilot testing, and others are much closer to implementation. This resource helps program developers take the first steps to pursue different ideas to expand their seat belt program toolboxes.

description: La cooperazione allo sviluppo oggi è chiamata a rispondere a nuove emergenze derivanti dai tanti mutamenti degli assetti sociali, politici e ambientali sulle comunitàin molte parti del mondo con particolare riferimento alle aree fragili. La cooperazione deve essere sempre più strumento valoriale della politica di un paese. Più cooperazione per combattere la povertà, ma anche per perseguire la pace, per garantire lo sviluppo, per governare in modo sano ed equo le migrazioni. Le frontiere della cooperazione si estendono a nuovi orizzonti e diventa quanto mai indispensabile sistematizzare l’azione facendo sì che gli attori coinvolti, dalle istituzioni pubbliche al mondo delle imprese, dalla società civile al sistema universitario trovino linguaggi comuni e strumenti condivisi idonei a elaborare politiche e azioni efficaci ad affrontare vecchie e nuove povertà, crescenti instabilità, inaspettati bisogni sociali. Alcune Università Italiane, in sinergia con la CRUI e la DGCS del MAECI hanno avviato d tempo una riflessione sul ruolo della formazione e della ricerca nello sviluppo. Riflessione che ha trovato risposte a livello nazionale nella Legge 125 dell’Agosto 2014 e a livello internazionale nell’Agenda 2030 che riconosce il mondo accademico come un attore chiave nello sviluppo Questo il cuore del dibattito che si è svolto a Milano in occasione del V Congresso Nazionale del CUCS il Coordinamento Universitario per la Cooperazione e lo Sviluppo organizzato e ospitato dall’Università degli Studi e il Politecnico di Milano.

description: We have investigated magnetic field dependence of the ac magnetoresitance and the magnetoreactance in La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 over a wide frequency range from f = 0 to 30 MHz. A huge ac magnetoresistance of 55 % at f = 15 MHz in a small magnetic field of H = 100 mT and magnetoreactance of 80 % at 2 MHz are reported. We show distinct field dependence of the magnetoreactance and the magnetoresistance with increasing frequency. It is shown that while the ac magnetoresistance is negative and shows a single peak at the origin for all frequencies except f = 30 MHz, the single peak in the magnetoreactance transforms into a valley at the origin and simultaneously a double peak develops . The position of the double peak increases in field with increasing frequency. Eventually, the sign of the magnetoreactance changes from negative to positive. Our results indicate possible occurrence of the ferromagneic resonance in MHz range in unsaturated manganite.

description: Context. We use Hubble Space Telescope photometry of six rich, compact star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with ages ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 Gyr, to derive the clusters' stellar mass functions (MFs) at their half-mass radii. Aims. The LMC is an ideal environment to study stellar MFs, because it contains a large population of compact clusters at different evolutionary stages. We aim to obtain constraints on the initial MFs (IMFs) of our sample clusters on the basis of their present-day MFs, combined with our understanding of their dynamical and photometric evolution. Methods. We derive the clusters' present-day MFs below 1.0 Msun using deep observations with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and updated stellar population synthesis models. Results. Since the relaxation timescales of low-mass stars are very long, dynamical evolution will not have affected the MFs below 1.0 Msun significantly, so that - within the uncertainties - the derived MFs are consistent with the solar-neighbourhood IMF, at least for the younger clusters. Conclusions. The IMF in the low-density, low-metallicity environment of the LMC disk is not significantly different from that in the solar neighbourhood.

description: A theoretical framework is developed for a precise control of spatial patterns in oscillatory media using nonlinear global feedback, where a proper form of the feedback function corresponding to a specific pattern is predicted through the analysis of a phase diffusion equation with global coupling. In particular, feedback functions that generate the following spatial patterns are analytically given: i) 2-cluster states with an arbitrary population ratio, ii) equally populated multi-cluster states, and iii) a desynchronized state. Our method is demonstrated numerically by using the Brusselator model in the oscillatory regime. Experimental realization is also discussed.

These court programs attack the source of the problem by taking a comprehensive approach to changing behavior that includes accountability and long-term treatment. Whereas there is a substantial body of research demonstrating the effectiveness of Drug Courts, the same depth of research is lacking for DWI Courts. NHTSA conducted a web-based survey of DWI Courts and DWI/Drug Courts (court programs that handle both DWI and drug offenders) in April through May 2015 in order to obtain detailed information on how DWI Courts were operating. NHTSA plans to use that information to help guide development of a program to evaluate DWI Courts.

description: Questo testo è l’esito della collaborazione congiunta dei referenti delle Università nel Consiglio Nazionale per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo (CNCS), e più un generale di una riflessone condivisa con tutti coloro che hanno partecipato alle attività dei gruppi di lavoro. Anche se il quadro politico e organizzativo della cooperazione allo sviluppo (CS) dell’Italia appare in grande cambiamento da quando la prima versione è stata scritta (fine 2017), con il cambio di governo e di direzione in capo all’Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo (AICS), ci è sembrato opportuno proporre comunque questo testo come promemoria di alcuni principali passaggi che hanno formalmente coinvolto le Università nella riflessione sull’impostazione delle attività di CSdell’Italia. Questa funzione dipromemoria ci sembra particolarmente importante proprio nel momento in cui il quadro della CS italiana è destinato a cambiare ancora anche in seguito alla individuazione del vice Ministro con delega alla cooperazione (Prof.ssa Emanuela Del Re) alla ormai prossima designazione del nuovo Direttore dell’AICS. A tal fine il testo è organizzato in tre parti che riassumono tre importanti passaggi: la costituzione del CNCS e il ruolo dell’Università al suo interno, la Conferenza nazionale svoltasi a gennaio 2018 e le attività connesse con la creazione delle piattaforme “conoscenza per lo sviluppo”, volute dall’AICS con la richiesta di manifestazione di interesse espressamente indirizzate alle Università. Un quarto fondamentale passaggio èrappresentato dal Convegno CUCS svoltosi a Milano nel 14-15 settembre 2017, che ha impegnato le 30 università della Rete CUCS e ha visto l’organizzazione di varie sessioni tematiche attorno al tema “Migrazioni, pace e sviluppo. Nuove sfide e nuovi volti per la cooperazione”. Per un approfondimento sul Convegno CUCS di Milano rinviamotuttavia al prossimo numero di JUNCO dedicato alla pubblicazione degli Atti del Convegno CUCS.

description: We use the microlensing variability observed for eleven gravitationally lensed quasars to show that the accretion disk size at a rest-frame wavelength of 2500 Angstroms is related to the black hole mass by log(R_{2500}/cm)=(15.78\pm0.12) + (0.80\pm0.17)\log(M_BH/10^9M_sun). This scaling is consistent with the expectation from thin disk theory (R ~ M_BH^{2/3}), but when interpreted in terms of the standard thin disk model (T ~ R^{-3/4}), it implies that black holes radiate with very low efficiency, log(eta) = -1.77\pm0.29 + log(L/L_E) where eta=L/(Mdot*c^2). Only by making the maximum reasonable shifts in the average inclination, Eddington factors and black hole masses can we raise the efficiency estimate to be marginally consistent with typical efficiency estimates (eta ~ 10%). With one exception, these sizes are larger by a factor of ~4 than the size needed to produce the observed 0.8 micron quasar flux by thermal radiation from a thin disk with the same T ~ R^{-3/4} temperature profile. While scattering a significant fraction of the disk emission on large scales or including a large fraction of contaminating line emission can reduce the size discrepancy, resolving it also appears to require that accretion disks have flatter temperature/surface brightness profiles.

Temperature dependence studies of persistent currents in superconductors
Creators: name: Knittel, Anton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A study has been made of some energy and momentum properties associated with the electrons of superconducting indium. In the experiments, an electric current was induced in the indium sample and measurements were made to detect any effects of an increasing super-state electron density on the current. By lowering the sample's temperature appropriately, the electron density could be controlled. The indium sample studied was in the form of a thin film, constructed by vacuum evaporation onto a glass substrate. Two indium wires connected the ends of the thin film to a copper wafer, forming a complete electric circuit. This circuit was electrically isolated and measurements of the current through the thin film were made with a search-coil coupled to the current's magnetic field. A relationship between the current changes observed and some momentum properties of superstate electrons was then established. The assumption that all "virtual pairs" in a superconductor have a common momentum proved consistent with the experimental results. Theoretical calculations are given which suggest that only those normal electrons with a preferred momentum can take part in increasing the superconductive electron density. This implies that a superstate electron system may effect the transformation of internal energy into work. However, the experiments carried out have not been sufficiently sensitive to show this conclusively. The inference stated above is based on the experimental results in conjunction with the required agreement of theoretical calculations with accepted theory. The indium-copper junction resistance had a resistance value which was markedly temperature dependent in the region below 3.4°K (the transition temperature of pure indium). A variation of resistance between the extremes 9.4 x 10⁻¹º Ω at 3.1°K and 8 x 10⁻¹º Ω at 1.2°K was found. The cause of this large resistance change is ascribed to various effects but probably the most important one is the diffusion of copper impurity into the indium. Arguments in favor of this explanation are given. A number of suggestions are also included which may be helpful to the design of experiments similar to the one reported in this thesis.

description: The goal of this study was to provide better understanding of the consequences of older adults’ crash injuries on their health and functional performance – their ability to carry out normal activities – by addressing these research questions: What are the differences in measures of self-reported health and performance between: (1) People 65 and older who were injured in crashes, and those of similar age who were in crashes but not injured? and (2) People 65 and older and people 40 to 55 who were injured in crashes? Researchers reviewed police crash reports from Connecticut and Indiana from 2009 to identify potential participants who fit into one of the groups of interest for this study.

Oma tervist hindasid vastajad 5astmelisel skaalal: väga hea, hea, rahuldav, halb ja väga halb. Uuringutulemused näitasid, et umbes pooled vastanutest hindasid oma tervist vähemalt heaks ja pooled rahuldavaks või halvemaks. Meeste ja naiste tervise enesehinnangus olulist erinevust ei leitud. Oma tervist rahuldavaks või halvemaks hinnanuid esines rohkem madalama haridustasemega, mittetöötavate, majanduslikult halvasti toime tulevate ja vanema vanuserühma meeste ning naiste hulgas. Ei leitud tervise enesehinnangu seost rahvuse, elukoha ega perekonnaseisuga.

description: Viimastel aastatel on järjest selgemaks saanud seos raku energeetilise ainevahetuse ja südamehaiguste vahel, mistõttu on oluline uurida seda mõjutavaid tegureid. Töös uuriti südamelihase rakkude mitokondriaalse hingamise regulatsiooni väga erineva rakustruktuuriga preparaatides: 1) permeabiliseeritud kardiomüotsüütides, kus mitokondrid on regulaarselt organiseeritud; 2) südamelihase fenotüübiga sarnastes kontraheeruvates HL-1 (B HL-1) rakkudes ja 3) HL-1 mittekontraheeruvates (NB HL-1) rakkudes. Nende preparaatide vahel esines suur erinevus mitokondriaalse hingamise regulatsioonis. Selline tulemus näitab raku struktuuri ja funktsiooni vaheliste seoste tähtsust südamelihase rakkudes ning võimaldab paremini mõista protsesse nii terves kui ka patoloogilises südamelihases.

description: Speeding is a major factor in a large proportion of traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities in the United States. Automated speed enforcement (ASE) is one effective countermeasure for reducing speeding and crashes. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) co-published the Speed Enforcement Camera Systems Operational Guidelines (2008) to assist State and local agencies to plan and operate ASE systems as a component of comprehensive speed management programs. This survey, conducted in 2011-2012, examined the protocols and practices of U.S. law enforcement agencies in the deployment and implementation of ASE, public perceptions of fairness, and the nature of communication by communities regarding any positive outcomes of ASE operations. It also examined the alignment of existing ASE programs with FHWA/NHTSA Guidelines. The authors identified 107 U.S. jurisdictions with ASE programs as of October 2011, located in 12 States and the District of Columbia (91 currently active, 15 discontinued, and 1 agency that had both currently active and discontinued components of their ASE program). The authors mailed each of the 107 jurisdictions a questionnaire with follow-ups conducted by mail, e-mail, phone, and site visit. Completed questionnaires were received from 90 agencies (84% response rate). Highlights from the findings are presented in this document.

description: Töös antakse ülevaade II trimestri vereseerumi biokeemiliste markerite sõeltesti (double/triple test  ehk kaksik-/kolmiktest) rakendamise tulemustest nooremas vanuserühmas (≤ 35/37) Eestis  8 aasta jooksul (1999–2006). Testiga alustati Tartus ja Tartumaal 1998. a sügisel, alates 2003. a tehakse testi kogu Eestis. 2006. aastal tehti Eestis sõeltesti keskmiselt 91%-le rasedatest (Tar tu- ja Harjumaal ~ 100%, Ida-Virumaal 48%). 1999–2006 on Eestis tehtud ühtekokku 60 970 vereseerumi sõeltesti. Positiivne testi tulemus oli 2904 juhul (4,76%) amniotsenteesi näidustuseks. Loote kromosoomianomaalia leiti 82 juhul (1 : 36), neist 37 (45%) juhul Downi sündroom (DS). Sünnieelse skriiningu tulemusel on DS-laste sünnisagedus Eestis vähenenud. Seega on II trimestri seerumiskriining Eestis olnud tulemuslik, kuid edasiseks edukaks tööks on vajalik senist sõeltestimise taktikat muuta. 2008. aastal on plaanis Eestis laiemalt rakendada I ja II trimestri integreeritud sõeltesti.

Drag reduction in pipe flow by optimal forcing

description: In most settings, from international pipelines to home water supplies, the drag caused by turbulence raises pumping costs many times higher than if the flow were laminar. Drag reduction has therefore long been an aim of high priority. In order to achieve this end, any drag reduction method must modify the turbulent mean flow. Motivated by minimization of the input energy this requires, linearly optimal forcing functions are examined. It is shown that the forcing mode leading to the greatest response of the flow is always of m=1 azimuthal symmetry. Little evidence is seen of the second peak at large m (wall modes) found in analogous optimal growth calculations, which may have implications for control strategies. The model's prediction of large response of the large length-scale modes is verified in full direct numerical simulation of turbulence ($Re=5300$, $Re_τ\approx 180$). Further, drag reduction of over 12% is found for finite amplitude forcing of the largest scale mode, m=1. Significantly, the forcing energy required is very small, being less than 2% of that by the through pressure, resulting in a net energy saving of over 10%.
