Danza, poesia e musica in Fabula. Bologna 1487 - nozze Bentivoglio-D'Este
Creators: name: Bortoletti, Francesca
Publisher: name: Annali Online  Lettere - Ferrara
Year: 2012

description: From the mid XVth century a theory and justification of dance as art  arose in Italy. The theoretical workings did not always correspond to  what other sources tell us of the actual performance of dances and  bourgeois festive occasions. Nevertheless in some case the expansiveness  of certain chroniclers offers a wealth of indications about different  moments of spectacle. This is the case of the celebrations organised in  Bologna on 1487 for the marriage between Annibale Bentivoglio, and  Lucrezia d'Este, and the allegorical fibula represented on January the  29th, which will be the focus of the present paper. The mythological  fable was mentioned and described by various literary and chronicle  sources including: the Nuptiae Bentiuolorum, the official version  in latin; the account of Sabadino degli Arienti; the Ephitalamium  written in vernacular and dedicated to Lorenzo the Magnificent; the Nuptiale carmen in which Naldo Naldi recalls the Bentivoglio-d'Este wedding a few months afterwards; a previously unknown anonymous Narratione,  in vernacular. The analysis of these documents, allow to describe the  dance in his complexity. The dance appears to take on a determining and  polyfunctional role in the structuring of the dramatised story, off  shoot in part of an acquaintance with well-tried patterns of spectacle  and techniques of entertainment; but at the same time the result of new  experiments and reworkings open to the combinations of different  patterns of spectacle.

description: The effect of surface atom vibrations for H$_2$ scattering from a Cu(111) surface at different temperatures is being investigated for hydrogen molecules in their rovibrational ground state ($v$=0, $j$=0). We assume weakly correlated interactions between molecular degrees of freedom and surface modes through a Hartree product type wavefunction. While constructing the six dimensional effective Hamiltonian, we employ: (a) a chemically accurate potential energy surface according to the Static Corrugation Model [Wijzenbroek and Somers, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 054703 (2012)]; (b) normal mode frequencies and displacement vectors calculated with different surface atom interaction potentials within a cluster approximation; (c) initial state distributions for the vibrational modes according to Bose-Einstein probability factors. We carry out 6D quantum dynamics with the so-constructed effective Hamiltonian, and analyze sticking and state-to-state scattering probabilities. The surface atom vibrations affect the chemisorption dynamics. The results show physically meaningful trends both for reaction as well as scattering probabilities compared to experimental and other theoretical results.

description: One of the key challenges in solar and heliospheric physics is to understand the acceleration of the solar wind. As a super-sonic, super-Alfvénic plasma flow, the solar wind carries mass, momentum, energy, and angular momentum from the Sun into interplanetary space. We present a framework based on two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics to estimate the flux of these quantities based on spacecraft data independent of the heliocentric distance of the location of measurement. Applying this method to the Ulysses dataset allows us to study the dependence of these fluxes on heliolatitude and solar cycle. The use of scaling laws provides us with the heliolatitudinal dependence and the solar-cycle dependence of the scaled Alfvénic and sonic Mach numbers as well as the Alfvén and sonic critical radii. Moreover, we estimate the distance at which the local thermal pressure and the local energy density in the magnetic field balance. These results serve as predictions for observations with Parker Solar Probe, which currently explores the very inner heliosphere, and Solar Orbiter, which will measure the solar wind outside the plane of the ecliptic in the inner heliosphere during the course of the mission.

description: The traditional node percolation map of directed networks is reanalyzed in terms of edges. In the percolated phase, edges can mainly organize into five distinct giant connected components, interfaces bridging the communication of nodes in the strongly connected component and those in the in- and out-components. Formal equations for the relative sizes in number of edges of these giant structures are derived for arbitrary joint degree distributions in the presence of local and two-point correlations. The uncorrelated null model is fully solved analytically and compared against simulations, finding an excellent agreement between the theoretical predictions and the edge percolation map of synthetically generated networks with exponential or scale-free in-degree distribution and exponential out-degree distribution. Interfaces, and their internal organization giving place from "hairy ball" percolation landscapes to bottleneck straits, could bring new light to the discussion of how structure is interwoven with functionality, in particular in flow networks.

description: We report calculations of the positron potential and wavefunction in LaFeAsO. These calculations show that the positron wavefunction does sample the entire unit cell although it is largest in the interstices of the La layer adjacent to As atoms. The implication is that angular correlation of annihilation radiation (ACAR) is a viable probe of the Fermi surfaces in this material. The results also apply to positive muons, and indicate that these will be localized in the La layer adjacent to As.

Anisotropic thermalization of dilute dipolar gases

description: We study collisional rethermalization in ultracold dipolar thermal gases, made intricate by their anisotropic differential cross sections. Theoretical methods are provided to derive the number of collisions per rethermalization, which for dipolar gases, is highly dependent on the dipole alignment axis. These methods are formulated to be easily applied in experimental contexts, even reducing to analytic expressions if the route to thermal equilibrium is governed by short-time dynamics. In the analytic case, collisional rethermalization is fully characterized by the dipole magnitude and orientation, scattering length, and thermalization geometry. These models compare favorably to Monte Carlo simulations, and are shown to model well a recent experimental result on the rethermalization of polar molecular samples.

description: We explore the extension of quantum cosmology outside the homogeneous approximation, using the formalism of loop quantum gravity. We introduce a model where some of the inhomogeneous degrees of freedom are present, providing a tool for describing general fluctuations of quantum geometry near the initial singularity. We show that the dynamical structure of the model reduces to that of loop quantum cosmology in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This result corroborates the assumptions that ground loop cosmology, sheds light on the physical and mathematical relation between loop cosmology and full loop quantum gravity, and on the nature of the cosmological approximation. Finally, we show that the non-graph-changing Hamiltonian constraint considered in the context of algebraic quantum gravity provides a viable effective dynamics within this approximation.

description: In this paper we present an approach towards the comprehensive analysis of the non-integrability of differential equations in the form $\ddot x=f(x,t)$ which is analogous to Hamiltonian systems with 1+1/2 degree of freedom. In particular, we analyze the non-integrability of some important families of differential equations such as Painlevé II, Sitnikov and Hill-Schrödinger equation. We emphasize in Painlevé II, showing its non-integrability through three different Hamiltonian systems, and also in Sitnikov in which two different version including numerical results are shown. The main tool to study the non-integrability of these kind of Hamiltonian systems is Morales-Ramis theory. This paper is a very slight improvement of the talk with the almost-same title delivered by the author in SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems 2007.

description: The merger of two or more galaxies can enhance the inflow of material from galactic scales into the close environments of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), obscuring and feeding the supermassive black hole (SMBH). Both recent simulations and observations of AGN in mergers have confirmed that mergers are related to strong nuclear obscuration. However, it is still unclear how AGN obscuration evolves in the last phases of the merger process. We study a sample of 60 Luminous and Ultra-luminous IR galaxies (U/LIRGs) from the GOALS sample observed by NuSTAR. We find that the fraction of AGN that are Compton-thick (CT; $N_{\rm H}\geq 10^{24}\rm\,cm^{-2}$) peaks at $74_{-19}^{+14}\%$ at a late merger stage, prior to coalescence, when the nuclei have projected separations of $d_{\rm sep}\sim 0.4-6$ kpc. A similar peak is also observed in the median $N_{\rm H}$ [$(1.6\pm0.5)\times10^{24}\rm\,cm^{-2}$]. The vast majority ($85^{+7}_{-9}\%$) of the AGN in the final merger stages ($d_{\rm sep}\lesssim 10$ kpc) are heavily obscured ($N_{\rm H}\geq 10^{23}\rm\,cm^{-2}$), and the median $N_{\rm H}$ of the accreting SMBHs in our sample is systematically higher than that of local hard X-ray selected AGN, regardless of the merger stage. This implies that these objects have very obscured nuclear environments, with the $N_{\rm H}\geq 10^{23}\rm\,cm^{-2}$ gas almost completely covering the AGN in late mergers. CT AGN tend to have systematically higher absorption-corrected X-ray luminosities than less obscured sources. This could either be due to an evolutionary effect, with more obscured sources accreting more rapidly because they have more gas available in their surroundings, or to a selection bias. The latter scenario would imply that we are still missing a large fraction of heavily obscured, lower luminosity ($L_{2-10}\lesssim 10^{43}\rm\,erg\,s^{-1}$) AGN in U/LIRGs.

description: We present a novel binding mechanism where a neutral Rydberg atom and an atomic ion form a molecular bound state at large internuclear distance. The binding mechanism is based on Stark shifts and level crossings which are induced in the Rydberg atom due to the electric field of the ion. At particular internuclear distances between Rydberg atom and ion, potential wells occur which can hold atom-ion molecular bound states. Apart from the binding mechanism we describe important properties of the long-range atom-ion Rydberg molecule, such as its lifetime and decay paths, its vibrational and rotational structure, and its large dipole moment. Furthermore, we discuss methods how to produce and detect it. The unusual properties of the long-range atom-ion Rydberg molecule give rise to interesting prospects for studies of wave packet dynamics in engineered potential energy landscapes.

Fatigue damage propagation in graphite/epoxy composites
Creators: name: Yavuz, Ömer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A series of tests was performed to determine the increase in the crack length or fatigue damage of graphite/epoxy composites under tension-tension fatigue using traveling microscope, tetrabromoethane enhanced radiography and compliance techniques. Hercules As/3501-6 graphite fibre/epoxy prepreg was used to produce laminates which were subsequently cut into compact tension sample geometry. [90/0] ply configuration was used in the preparation of the laminates. Fatigue damage was observed to be in the form of a 'damage zone' rather than a single crack, which increased in size in both the 0° and 90° directions during fatigue. The damage followed three stages, during the whole fatigue life. The first stage was the acceleration; the intermediate stage was the deceleration and the final stage was the reacceleration of the damage. As a result of this behaviour the Paris approach was found to be non-valid for this material. Change in the compliance was observed during fatigue and this change revealed the same three stages as the development of the damage zone.

description: To further test MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) on galactic scales -- originally proposed to explain the rotation curves of disk galaxies without dark matter -- we study a sample of six strong gravitational lensing early-type galaxies from the CASTLES database. To determine whether dark matter is present in these galaxies, we compare the total mass (from lensing) with the stellar mass content (from a comparison of photometry and stellar population synthesis). We find that strong gravitational lensing on galactic scales requires a significant amount of dark matter, even within MOND. On such scales a 2 eV neutrino cannot explain this excess matter -- in contrast with recent claims to explain the lensing data of the bullet cluster. The presence of dark matter is detected in regions with a higher acceleration than the characteristic MONDian scale of $\sim 10^{-10}$m/s$^2$. This is a serious challenge to MOND unless the proper treatment of lensing is qualitatively different (possibly to be developed within a consistent theory such as TeVeS).

All $n$-parameter expressions recover $(n-1)$-generalization when the corresponding $q_n\to1$. Nonextensive statistical mechanics has been the source of successive generalizations of entropic forms and mathematical structures, in which this work is a consequence.

description: This work presents the derivation of a model for the heating process of the air of a glass dome, where an indoor swimming pool is located in the bottom of the dome. The problem can be reduced from a three dimensional to a two dimensional one. The main goal is the formulation of a proper optimization problem for computing the optimal heating of the air after a given time. For that, the model of the heating process as a partial differential equation is formulated as well as the optimization problem subject to the time-dependent partial differential equation. This yields the optimal heating of the air under the glass dome such that the desired temperature distribution is attained after a given time. The discrete formulation of the optimization problem and a proper numerical method for it, the projected gradient method, are discussed. Finally, numerical experiments are presented which show the practical performance of the optimal control problem and its numerical solution method discussed.

description: We present stellar evolution calculations from the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) to the Planetary Nebula (PN) phase for models of initial mass 1.2 M\odot and 2.0 M\odot that experience a Late Thermal Pulse (LTP), a helium shell flash that occurs following the AGB and causes a rapid looping evolution between the AGB and PN phase. We use these models to make comparisons to the central star of the Stingray Nebula, V839 Ara (SAO 244567). The central star has been observed to be rapidly evolving (heating) over the last 50 to 60 years and rapidly dimming over the past 20 - 30 years. It has been reported to belong to the youngest known planetary nebula, now rapidly fading in brightness. In this paper we show that the observed timescales, sudden dimming, and increasing Log(g), can all be explained by LTP models of a specific variety. We provide a possible explanation for the nebular ionization, the 1980s sudden mass loss episode, the sudden decline in mass loss, and the nebular recombination and fading.

Year: 2025

description: The ecosystem approach is a methodology aimed at sustainable management of natural resources based on maintaining ecological balance and protecting biological diversity. National and cultural characteristics play an important role in the implementation of this approach. Each country and culture has a unique relationship with nature, while managing the environment in accordance with its cultural values and historical context. In this context, cultural and national differences must be taken into account in order to effectively apply the ecosystem approach. This article analyzes the specifics of ecosystem management in a national and cultural context and highlights the importance of a culturally sensitive management approach.

description: We calculate the charge current in a metallic ferromagnet to first order in the time derivative of the magnetization direction. Irrespective of the microscopic details, the result can be expressed in terms of the conductivities of the majority and minority electrons and the non-adiabatic spin transfer torque parameter $β$. The general expression is evaluated for the specific case of a field-driven domain wall and for that case depends strongly on the ratio of $β$ and the Gilbert damping constant. These results may provide an experimental method to determine this ratio, which plays a crucial role for current-driven domain-wall motion.

description: We discuss a number of fundamental aspects of modern cosmological concepts, from the phenomenological, observational, theoretical and epistemic points of view. We argue that the modern cosmology, despite a great advent, in particular in the observational sector, is yet to solve important problems, posed already by the classical times. In particular the stress is put on discerning the scientific features of modern cosmological paradigms from the more speculative ones, with the latter immersed in some aspects deeply into mythological world picture. We finally discuss the principal paradigms, which are present in the modern cosmological studies and evaluate their epistemic merits.

description: Conflict and health emergencies such as Covid-19 create massive disruption of children’s education. Sometimes, these emergencies cause school closures and force relocation to refugee camp schools. Book Aid International and partners have been responding to such emergencies through the creation of simple and effective school libraries through the Reading for All (RFA) and Books to Go (B2G) projects. The overall objective was to observe how simple libraries, through outreach services to underserved communities including refugee populations, help ensure inclusive and equitable access to quality education for all. With the advent of Covid-19 pandemic, learning across many countries was seriously affected by prolonged closure of African schools between 2020 and 2022, including refugee settlement camps. The RFA Rhino Camp project provided vulnerable refugee children with learning opportunities in Uganda. The project supported the development of school libraries in 14 Early Childhood Development (ECD), 24 Primary and three secondary schools, by providing age-appropriate books, book storage and training for teaching staff. The B2G intervention engaged 20 poorly resourced primary schools across Kenya, Zanzibar, Ghana and Sierra Leone by establishing book-lending schemes that enabled children to read at home. The schools received books and book bags to facilitate book lending and teachers were trained to facilitate lending of books and reading promotion activities. The RFA project increased access to books among learners, facilitating learning and developing a love for reading. During the lockdown, teachers took books to learners at home where they facilitated group reading. The B2G project provided books to be taken home by more than 12,000 learners, providing the much-needed stress relief and opportunity for learning with carers and siblings during lockdown; both facilitated a continuation of ECD, Primary and Secondary education through the development of reading as a fundamental learning skill. The RFA and B2G were effective interventions that contributed to creating a more equal African society through increased access to books for literacy development among vulnerable children in line with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) – on quality education, and indirectly contributed to SDG 8 (on preparing refugees for ‘Decent work & Economic Growth’ in the future). Access to books to read within the home environment provided vulnerable children with hope, promoted literacy development, and kept the flames of learning burning during very challenging times. These outcomes illustrate that the RFA and B2G are effective models for equitable literacy development and are replicable in both basic and secondary schools.

description: Generalized vector form factors of the pion, related to the moments of the generalized parton distribution functions, are evaluated in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with the Pauli-Villars regularization. The lowest moments (the electromagnetic and the gravitational form factors) are compared to recent lattice data, with fair agreement. Predictions for higher-order moments are also made. Relevant features of the generalized form factors in the chiral quark models are highlighted and the role of the QCD evolution for the higher-order GFFs is stressed.

description: Researchers and robotic development groups have recently started paying special attention to autonomous mobile robot navigation in indoor environments using vision sensors. The required data is provided for robot navigation and object detection using a camera as a sensor. The aim of the project is to construct a mobile robot that has integrated vision system capability used by a webcam to locate, track and follow a moving object. To achieve this task, multiple image processing algorithms are implemented and processed in real-time. A mini-laptop was used for collecting the necessary data to be sent to a PIC microcontroller that turns the processes of data obtained to provide the robot's proper orientation. A vision system can be utilized in object recognition for robot control applications. The results demonstrate that the proposed mobile robot can be successfully operated through a webcam that detects the object and distinguishes a tennis ball based on its color and shape.

description: We present redshifts for 2753 low-redshift galaxies between $0.03 \lesssim z_{\rm spec}\lesssim0.5$ with 18 $\leq$ $r$ $\leq$ 22 obtained with Hectospec at the Multi-Mirror Telescope (MMT). The observations targeted the XMM-LSS, ELAIS-N1 and DEEP2-3 fields, each of which covers $\sim$ 1 deg$^2$. These fields are also part of the recently completed CFHT Large Area U-band Deep Survey (CLAUDS) and on-going Hyper Suprime-Cam deep fields surveys. The efficiency of our technique for selecting low-redshift galaxies is confirmed by the redshift distribution of our sources. In addition to redshifts, these high S/N spectra are used to measure ages, metallicities, and nuclear activity levels. In combination with the photometric catalogue in $u$, $g$, $r$, $i$, $z$, $y$ down to 27 AB mag, we are able to study the galaxy population down to stellar masses of $\sim$ 10$^8 M_\odot$ . This paper presents the observational strategy, the reduction procedure and properties of the galaxy sample.

description: The exact factorization of the time-dependent electron-nuclear wavefunction has been employed successfully in the field of quantum molecular dynamics simulations for interpreting and simulating light-induced ultrafast processes. In this work, we summarize the major developments leading to the formulation of a trajectory-based approach, derived from the exact factorization equations, capable of dealing with nonadiabatic electronic processes, and including spin-orbit coupling and the non-perturbative effect of an external time-dependent field. This trajectory-based quantum-classical approach has been dubbed coupled-trajectory mixed quantum-classical (CT-MQC) algorithm, whose performance is tested here to study the photo-dissociation dynamics of IBr.

description: We show that the Euler walk on a Cayley tree exhibits two regimes (dynamic phases): a condensed phase and a low-density phase. In the condensed phase the self-organized area grows as a compact domain. In the low-density phase the proportion of self-organized (visited) nodes decreases rapidly from one generation of the tree to the next. We describe in detail returns of the Euler walk to the root and growth of the self-organized domain in the condensed phase. We also investigate the critical behaviour of the Euler walk at the point separating the two regimes.

description: Formal Methods for the Informal Engineer (FMIE) was a workshop held at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in 2021 to explore the potential role of verified software in the biomedical software ecosystem. The motivation for organizing FMIE was the recognition that the life sciences and medicine are undergoing a transition from being passive consumers of software and AI/ML technologies to fundamental drivers of new platforms, including those which will need to be mission and safety-critical. Drawing on conversations leading up to and during the workshop, we make five concrete recommendations to help software leaders organically incorporate tools, techniques, and perspectives from formal methods into their project planning and development trajectories.

description: The statistical properties of quantum transport through a chaotic cavity are encoded in the traces $\T={\rm Tr}(tt^†)^n$, where $t$ is the transmission matrix. Within the Random Matrix Theory approach, these traces are random variables whose probability distribution depends on the symmetries of the system. For the case of broken time-reversal symmetry, we present explicit closed expressions for the average value and for the variance of $\T$ for all $n$. In particular, this provides the charge cumulants $\Q$ of all orders. We also compute the moments $$ of the conductance $g=\mathcal{T}_1$. All the results obtained are exact, {\it i.e.} they are valid for arbitrary numbers of open channels.
