description: We present the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the globular clusters (GCs) and fields of seven early-types galaxies. These galaxies are selected to have both deep Chandra observations, which allow their LMXB populations to be observed to X-ray luminosities of $10^{37}-10^{38}$ erg/s, and HST optical mosaics which enable the X-ray sources to be separated into field LMXBs, GC LMXBs, and contaminating background and foreground sources. We find that at all luminosities the number of field LMXBs per stellar mass is similar in these galaxies. This suggests that the field LMXB populations in these galaxies are not effected by the GC specific frequency, and that properties such as binary fraction and the stellar initial mass function are either similar across the sample, or change in a way that does not effect the number of LMXBs. We compare the XLF of the field LMXBs to that of the GC LMXBs and find that they are significantly different with a p-value of $3\times10^{-6}$ (equivalent to 4.7$σ$ for a normal distribution). The difference is such that the XLF of the GC LMXBs is flatter than that of the field LMXBs, with the GCs hosting relatively more bright sources and fewer faint sources. A comparison of the XLF of the metal-rich and metal-poor GCs hints that the metal-poor GCs may have more bright LMXBs, but the difference is not statistically significant.

description: The Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) III-Nitride ternary alloy has the potentiality to allow achieving high efficiency solar cells through the tuning of its band gap by changing the Indium composition. It also counts among its advantages a relatively low effective mass, high carriersâ mobility, a high absorption coefficient along with good radiation tolerance.However, the main drawback of InGaN is linked to its p-type doping, which is difficult to grow in good quality and on which ohmic contacts are difficult to realize. The Schottky solar cell is a good alternative to avoid the p-type doping of InGaN. In this report, a comprehensive numerical simulation, using mathematically rigorous optimization approach based on state-of-the-art optimization algorithms, is used to find the optimum geometrical and physical parameters that yield the best efficiency of a Schottky solar cell within the achievable device fabrication range. A 18.2% efficiency is predicted for this new InGaN solar cell design.

Η εργασία αντλεί τόσο από θεωρητικές μελέτες του θέματος όσο και από αποφάσεις της διεθνούς νομολογίας που άπτονται της λειτουργίας των δικαστηρίων αυτών, προκειμένου να εστιάσει σε μια σειρά από ερωτήματα. Το πρώτο από τα ερωτήματα αυτά είναι από πού προκύπτει η δέσμευση των ένοπλων ομάδων από το διεθνές δίκαιο. Το δεύτερο είναι εάν επιτρέπεται στις ομάδες αυτές να συγκροτούν δικαστήρια. Το επόμενο ερώτημα είναι ποιοι κανόνες διεθνούς δικαίου διέπουν την σύστασή τους ενώ το τέταρτο αφορά τις διαδικαστικές εγγυήσεις στις οποίες αυτά οφείλουν να συμμορφώνονται.

description: The Master Thesis under the title «Challenging the State monopoly in the attribution of justice: The case of organized non-State armed groups in non-international armed conflicts» is concerned with the establishment and operation of courts by non-state armed groups during armed conflicts of non-international character. The Thesis draws upon theoretical studies and relevant international case-law, in order to focus on a series of queries. The first one of those is regarding the legal basis underpinning the attribution of international law to non-state armed groups. The second one is if non-state armed groups are even allowed to establish courts. The next query touches upon the applicable international laws governing the constitution and operation of such courts and the fourth one refers to the due process guarantees that they are meant to conform with. Questions regarding the stance that the international community should have towards this kind of courts and the expectations that it should have of them are the final objects of study in this Thesis. It should be noted that this Thesis does not purport to answer the above questions in a definite manner; however it intends to be more than a mere listing of the different theories on the matter

description: Based on first-principles calculations, we find that LiZnBi, a metallic hexagonal $ABC$ compound, can be driven into a Dirac semimetal with a pair of Dirac points by strain. The nontrivial topological nature of the strained LiZnBi is directly demonstrated by calculating its $\mathbb{Z}_2$ index and the surface states, where the Fermi arcs are clearly observed. The low-energy states as well as topological properties are shown to be sensitive to the strain configurations. The finding of Dirac semimetal phase in LiZnBi may intrigue further researches on the topological properties of hexagonal $ABC$ materials and promote new practical applications.

description: In this book we successfully demonstrate a millimeter-precision laser rangefinder using a low-cost photon counter. An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) comprises timing circuitry and single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) as the photodetectors. For the timing circuitry, a novel binning architecture for sampling the received signal is proposed which mitigates non-idealities that are inherent to a system with SPADs and timing circuitry in one chip.
Matching asteroid population characteristics with a model constructed from the YORP-induced rotational fission hypothesis

description: From the results of a comprehensive asteroid population evolution model, we conclude that the YORP-induced rotational fission hypothesis can be consistent with the observed population statistics of small asteroids in the main belt including binaries and contact binaries. The foundation of this model is the asteroid rotation model of Marzari et al. (2011), which incorporates both the YORP effect and collisional evolution. This work adds to that model the rotational fission hypothesis and the binary evolution model of Jacobson & Scheeres (2011). The asteroid population evolution model is highly constrained by these and other previous works, and therefore it has only two significant free parameters: the ratio of low to high mass ratio binaries formed after rotational fission events and the mean strength of the binary YORP (BYORP) effect. We successfully reproduce characteristic statistics of the small asteroid population: the binary fraction, the fast binary fraction, steady-state mass ratio fraction and the contact binary fraction. We find that in order for the model to best match observations, rotational fission produces high mass ratio ($> 0.2$) binary components with four to eight times the frequency as low mass ratio ($< 0.2$) components, where the mass ratio is the mass of the secondary component divided by the mass of the primary component. This is consistent with post-rotational fission binary system mass ratio being drawn from either a flat or a positive and shallow distribution, since the high mass ratio bin is four times the size of the low mass ratio bin; this is in contrast to the observed steady-state binary mass ratio, which has a negative and steep distribution. This can be understood in the context of the BYORP-tidal equilibrium hypothesis, which predicts that low mass ratio binaries survive for a significantly longer period of time than high mass ratio systems.

Flag-Based Control of Quantum Purity for $n=2$ Systems

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: This paper investigates the fast Hamiltonian control of $n=2$ density operators by continuously varying the flag as one moves away from the completely mixed state. In general, the critical points and zeros of the purity derivative can only be solved analytically in the limit of minimal purity. We derive differential equations that maintain these features as the purity increases. In particular, there is a thread of points in the Bloch ball that locally maximizes the purity derivative, and a corresponding thread that minimizes it. Additionally, we show there is a closed surface of points inside of which the purity derivative is positive, and inside of which is negative. We argue that this approach may be useful in studying higher-dimensional systems.

description: We construct $d$-dimensional pure simplicial complexes and pseudo-manifolds (without boundary) with $n$ vertices whose combinatorial diameter grows as $c_d n^{d-1}$ for a constant $c_d$ depending only on $d$, which is the maximum possible growth. Moreover, the constant $c_d$ is optimal modulo a singly exponential factor in $d$. The pure simplicial complexes improve on a construction of the second author that achieved $c_d n^{2d/3}$. For pseudo-manifolds without boundary, as far as we know, no construction with diameter greater than $n^2$ was previously known.

description: The $s$-process nucleosynthesis in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars depends on the modeling of convective boundaries. We present models and s-process simulations that adopt a treatment of convective boundaries based on the results of hydrodynamic simulations and on the theory of mixing due to gravity waves in the vicinity of convective boundaries. Hydrodynamics simulations suggest the presence of convective boundary mixing (CBM) at the bottom of the thermal pulse-driven convective zone. Similarly, convection-induced mixing processes are proposed for the mixing below the convective envelope during third dredge-up where the 13C pocket for the s process in AGB stars forms. In this work we apply a CBM model motivated by simulations and theory to models with initial mass $M = 2$ and $M = 3M_\odot$, and with initial metal content Z = 0.01 and Z = 0.02. As reported previously, the He-intershell abundance of 12C and 16O are increased by CBM at the bottom of pulse-driven convection zone. This mixing is affecting the $^{22}Ne(α,n)^{25}Mg$ activation and the s-process effciency in the 13C-pocket. In our model CBM at the bottom of the convective envelope during the third dredgeup represents gravity wave mixing. We take further into account that hydrodynamic simulations indicate a declining mixing efficiency already about a pressure scale height from the convective boundaries, compared to mixing-length theory. We obtain the formation of the 13C-pocket with a mass of $\approx 10^{-4}M_\odot$. The final $s$-process abundances are characterized by 0.36 < [s=Fe] < 0.78 and the heavy-to-light s-process ratio is 0.23 < [hs=ls] < 0.45. Finally, we compare our results with stellar observations, pre-solar grain measurements and previous work.

description: The normalized excess variance is a popular method used by many authors to estimate the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), especially in the X-ray band. We show that this estimator is affected by the cosmological time dilation, so that it should be appropriately corrected when applied to AGN samples distributed in wide redshift intervals. We propose a formula to modify this estimator, based on the use of the structure function. To verify the presence of the cosmological effect and the reliability of the proposed correction, we use data extracted from the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue, data release 5 (XMMSSC-DR5), and cross-matched with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalogue, of data release 7 and 12.

description: Pulse propagation is studied in an EIT medium with the control field having a periodically varying phase (chirp). Based both on numerical calculations and on an approximate approach neglecting absorption and nonadiabatic effects, it is shown that transparency occurs for probe pulses having a sufficiently narrow envelope and an appropriately suited chirp. For other chirped pulses the evolution of their spectra along a sample is studied. Using a projection method one can divide a pulse into a part for which the medium is transparent and a rest for which it is opaque.

Subjects: educational poverty; family impact; social intervention

description: Educational poverty concerns children’s access to educational resources. Families are recognized as crucial subjects for accessing to them. Hence, to contrast educational poverty, family-based interventions are advisable. This article describes the first Italian project adopting the ‘Family Impact Lens’, a family-focused approach to policy and practice. It was applied as a model for the monitoring and the impact evaluation of the project ‘Open Doors’, aimed to contrast educational poverty in an Italian marginal neighbourhood. A theory-based participatory methodology was deployed: both monitoring and evaluation were intended as accompanying processes of the project, leading the operators first to share the theoretical model and subsequently to assess their ability to apply it in their work. The Italian project intended to strengthen family and social educational relationships of children by acting on the 5 guiding criteria of the Family Impact Lens. This article reports the path carried out during the first year, consisted of a survey on 140 families, a questionnaire addressed to 42 educators, and 4 metaplans including all the different typologies of operators involved in the project. Results point out some first operational guidelines for improving the adherence to the Family Impact Lens in the next two years of the project.

description: An essential element in the web-trap architecture, the capture silk spun by ecribellate orb spiders consists of glue droplets sitting astride a silk filament. Mechanically this thread presents a mixed solid-liquid behavior unknown to date. Under extension, capture silk behaves as a particularly stretchy solid, owing to its molecular nanosprings, but it totally switches behavior in compression to now become liquid-like: It shrinks with no apparent limit while exerting a constant tension. Here, we unravel the physics underpinning the unique behavior of this "liquid wire" and demonstrate that its mechanical response originates in the shape-switching of the silk filament induced by buckling within the droplets. Learning from this natural example of geometry and mechanics, we manufactured programmable liquid wires that present previously unidentified pathways for the design of new hybrid solid-liquid materials. This article is available in open access with supplementary materials on the PNAS website.

description: We use Cycle 21 Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations and HST archival ACS Treasury observations of Galactic Globular Clusters to find and characterize two stellar populations in NGC 5024 (M53), NGC 5272 (M3), and NGC 6352. For these three clusters, both single and double-population analyses are used to determine a best fit isochrone(s). We employ a sophisticated Bayesian analysis technique to simultaneously fit the cluster parameters (age, distance, absorption, and metallicity) that characterize each cluster. For the two-population analysis, unique population level helium values are also fit to each distinct population of the cluster and the relative proportions of the populations are determined. We find differences in helium ranging from $\sim$0.05 to 0.11 for these three clusters. Model grids with solar $α$-element abundances ([$α$/Fe] =0.0) and enhanced $α$-elements ([$α$/Fe]=0.4) are adopted.

description: We examine the late-time (t > 200 days after peak brightness) spectra of Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax), a low-luminosity, low-energy class of thermonuclear stellar explosions observationally similar to, but distinct from, Type Ia supernovae. We present new spectra of SN 2014dt, resulting in the most complete published late-time spectral sequence of a SN Iax. At late times, SNe Iax have generally similar spectra, all with a similar continuum shape and strong forbidden-line emission. However, there is also significant diversity where some late-time SN Iax spectra display narrow P-Cygni features and a continuum indicative of a photosphere in addition to strong narrow forbidden lines, while others have no obvious P-Cygni features, strong broad forbidden lines, and weak narrow forbidden lines. Finally, some SNe Iax have spectra intermediate to these two varieties with weak P-Cygni features and broad/narrow forbidden lines of similar strength. We find that SNe Iax with strong broad forbidden lines also tend to be more luminous and have higher-velocity ejecta at peak brightness. We estimate blackbody and kinematic radii of the late-time photosphere, finding the latter an order of magnitude larger than the former. We propose a two-component model that solves this discrepancy and explains the diversity of the late-time spectra of SNe Iax. In this model, the broad forbidden lines originate from the SN ejecta, while the photosphere, P-Cygni lines, and narrow forbidden lines originate from a wind launched from the remnant of the progenitor white dwarf and is driven by the radioactive decay of newly synthesized material left in the remnant. The relative strength of the two components accounts for the diversity of late-time SN Iax spectra. This model also solves the puzzle of a long-lived photosphere and slow late-time decline of SNe Iax. (Abridged)

description: The paper deals with the dimensions of social capital in the Slovak Republic. The aim is to assess how social capital is distributed socially among the citizens of the Slovak Republic and geographically among the regions of the country. Social capital is evaluated on a basis of the three dimensions, where networks, trust and civism belong. The paper analyses the data from the European Values Study survey, especially the 2008 wave. The results of this study show that social capital has kept a decreasing tendency in the Slovak Republic throughout the period from the year 1991 to the year 2008. The reasons behind this may lie in the historical development of the country – the transformation of the economy and the dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic. With respect to a social distribution, social capital is generally higher among more educated, right-wing Slovaks with higher earnings. In the terms of a geographical distribution, the Trnava Region and the Trenčín Region appear to have less developed social capital compared to the other regions in Slovak Republic.

Cultural Differences and Social Amplification of Risk of a Tourism Destination: Foreign Media Coverage after 2016/2017 Earthquakes in Central Italy
Creators: name: Crespi, Isabella
name: Taibi, Marco
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: risk perception, media coverage; cultural differences; tourism destination

description: Tourism destinations are very exposed to disaster that can influence tourism demands and trends. As a matter of fact, terrorist activities, political instability and natural disasters are the three main factors, in the contemporary society, which can influence and support the risk perception and thus, have an impact on the tourist decision making process. This perception and the social amplification of risk are affected by media coverage during the events. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the role of media coverage in reporting risk in the context of a ‘risky destination’, as in the case of the Marche region, which has been stricken by several seismic events in August and October 2016 as well as in January 2017. In particular, this study analyses cultural differences from the perspective of online newspapers media coverage in the two countries during the earthquakes period using an explorative approach. This study draws attention to the cultural differences in media coverage and social amplification of risk Italy as a risky area and could will raise awareness among tourism marketers and policy makers about the importance of customized promotion and advertising strategies considering cultural differences.

Testing Fractional Action Cosmology
Creators: name: Shchigolev, V. K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The present work deals with a combined test of the so-called Fractional Action Cosmology (FAC) on the example of a specific model obtained by the author earlier. In this model, the effective cosmological term is proportional to the Hubble parameter squared through the so-called kinematic induction. The reason of studying this cosmological model could be explained by its ability to describe two periods of accelerated expansion, that is in agreement with the recent observations and the cosmological inflation paradigm. First of all, we put our model through the theoretical tests that gives a general conception of the influence of the model parameters on its behavior. Then, we obtain some restrictions on the principal parameters of the model, including the fractional index, by means of the observational data. Finally, the cosmography parameters and the observational data compared to the theoretical predictions are presented both analytically and graphically.

Trust and Reciprocity: The Foundations of the Sharing Economy
Creators: name: Martini, Elvira

Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: participated economy; trust; sociability

description: The economic crisis that has hit hard on traditional markets and businesses, as well as the spread of digital platforms, have encouraged the emergence of new cultural practices and new forms of meeting between supply and demand for goods and services. Public attention has been directed towards new practices, such as the sharing economy, which expresses the emergence of a real revolution based on the culture of reuse and direct access. Practices, in other words, ‘connoted by the hybridization between formal and informal actions and oriented towards the re-embeddedness of economic exchange’ (Arcidiacono, 2013). Jeremy Rifkin (2014) prefigures a new ‘participatory economy’, made possible by digital technology and within ‘freedom of access exceeds the ownership, sustainability supplants consumerism, cooperation ousts competition. An economy where the logic of the delegation is overcome and all the actors interact and release new resources in order to identify and implement responses to their needs’. The aim of this work is to advance a reflection on how the sharing economy can help shape new forms of welfare, where social ties are increasingly the foundation of economic exchange and cooperation (Pais, Mainieri, 2015), looking at the potential of the community economy and the recovery of the reciprocity and sociality values.

description: 4. Adelobotrys fuscescens Triana (1871: 68).
 Type:— “ Prope Tamana in locis umbrosis provin. Chocoensis Novae Granatae”, March 1853, J. J. Triana 3859 (lectotype NY-00221288!, designated here; isolectotypes BM-000544053!, BR-00000013206291 [digital image!], BR-00000013206277 [fragments]!, COL-000003144 [digital image!] [photograph US-00120329, digital image!], G-DC-00319567!, K-000329467!, P-00219220!, US-1803180 [digital image!]).
 In his description of A. fuscescens, Triana (1871) mentioned his own collection, Triana 3859, without indicating the herbarium where it was housed. There are several sheets deposited at BM, BR, COL, G-DC, K, NY, P and US. None bear the collection number 3859, but several have annotations made by Triana. The COL and P specimens bear the collector number 3856 and have annotations on collection locality, therefore the collector number 3859 cited by Triana is obviously erroneous and is to be corrected. The specimen proposed here as lectotype was selected because it is the only one which is annotated as Adelobotrys fuscescens in Triana’s own hand, it represents the best fit with the original description, presenting more intact leaves and flowers, and the collector and collection locality coincide with those in the protologue.

Urban Youth in Transformation: Considerations for a Sociology of Trap Subculture
Creators: name: Conti, Uliano
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: subculture; Trap; sociology

description: The article considers the theme of urban subcultures and focuses on the evolution of hip hop subculture. Hip hop subculture is made up of elements such as writing, break-dance, djing and rap. Rap as a musical genre changes over time, with the affirmation, for example, of Gangsta-rap. Recently, the Trap music genre has also emerged. The main features of Trap are identifiable in the rhetorical topoi of violence, individualism, references to drugs and urban suburbs. The paper analyses these characteristics and relates them to traditional rap, highlighting what the Trap genre communicates about urban suburbs and marginal young people.

Subjects: sport; communication; olympics

description: This paper analyses the recent editions of Olympic Summer Games. It examines the changes and political, economical and cultural dimensions of mega-events, underlining the links among life, culture, mediascapes and cultural identities. The analysis starts with London Olympic Games 2012 and continues with the Games in Rio 2016: the primary changes in urban infrastructures and the social, political and economical transformation of the two cities together with the great impact of Olympic ceremonies in media images are introduced in the paper, with a particular reference to the symbolic representations of opening and closing ceremonies. The above mentioned events are an imaginative tour, which links knowledge, heritage, history and global values, demonstrating the interrelation between sport and other social spheres. Sport mega-events seem to create infinite world, connected with global and local culture. The opening and closing ceremonies represent also new symbolic values, and some ‘economies of imagination’, which reform urban infrastructures and open new social identity and heritage.
