description: It is studied the bright spatial solitons in nonlocal defocusing Kerr media with parity-time (PT) symmetric potentials. We find that these solitons can exist and be stable over a different range of potential parameters. The influence of the degree of nonlocality on the solitons and the transverse energy flow within the stable solitons are also examined.

description: Moving from the critique of the deterritorialisation process that led to the concentration of services and activities in metropolitan areas and the consequent desertification of peripheral and marginal territories, the paper reflects on the implications of the traditional centralized model of energy production and on its criticalities amplified by the ongoing pandemic, then analyzing the opportunities of an energy transition characterized by return to territory. The creation of energy communities represents an opportunity to overcome the social acceptance paradigm and the traditional sectoral approach to experiment with a model of territorial energy patrimonialisation, through the integration of specific locally defined energy mixes, calibrated on the resources’ availability and reproducibility and respectful of the bioregion assets. Dynamic energy communities in which the inhabitants participate, interpret, co-plan, are involved in the identification of local resources and take an active role as protagonists in the definition and management of the transition process of their territories towards a self-sustainability prospect.

description: The low temperature electronic and galvanomagnetic transport properties of the low dimensional oxide KRu_4O_8 are experimentally considered. A quadratic temperature variation of the resistivity is observed to be proportional to the residual resistivity. It shows the role of inelastic electron scattering against impurities, i.e. a large Koshino-Taylor effect, rather than a consequence of strong electronic correlations. In the same temperature range, the Kohler rule is not fulfilled. The resistance noise increases also sharply, possibly due to a strong coupling of carriers with lattice fluctuations in this low dimensional compound.

A novel role for the Notch effector RBPJ in tumorigenesis
Creators: name: Kulic, Iva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Notch signaling pathway, which converges on RBPJ, is deregulated in a number of malignancies. Following pathway activation, RBPJ, the DNA-binding component of the pathway, associates with Notch to activate transcription of target genes. In the absence of Notch activity, RBPJ acts as a transcriptional repressor by recruiting a co-repressor complex that must be displaced to reinitiate the cycle of activation. As RBPJ is a key regulator of Notch signaling and is constitutively expressed in normal cells, we set out to evaluate the effect of RBPJ loss in the context of human cancer. Frequent RBPJ loss was detected in human breast and lung tumors. Moreover, depletion of RBPJ in a human breast cancer cell line accelerated xenograft tumor growth, whereas over-expression of a mutated version of RBPJ (which allows retained function as a transcriptional repressor but prevents activation via Notch) reduced tumor growth in a mouse model. These findings were confirmed in a lymphoma knock-out cell line, where a complete loss of RBPJ strikingly increased tumor growth in mice. RBPJ-deficient tumor xenografts showed up-regulated expression of HEY family genes, which represent direct canonical RBPJ targets. Blockade of Notch activation had no effect on the magnitude of HEY gene derepression in the absence of RBPJ, indicating that Notch does not participate in deregulated signal activation resulting from loss of transcriptional repression. To identify other aberrantly induced genes that contribute to the oncogenic phenotype with RBPJ loss, we performed a global analysis. RBPJ removal led to enrichment of acetylated histone H4 at induced gene promoters. We therefore used this epigenetic mark as an indirect measure of promoter activity to identify processes that were differentially active in the RBPJ-depleted breast cancer cells compared to RBPJ-containing controls. RBPJ loss enriched for a Notch-like signal and increased acetyl marks at genes associated with cell survival. Indeed, resistance to cell death was observed in RBPJ-deficient breast cancer and lymphoma tumors both in vitro and in vivo. This work defines a new role for RBPJ as a tumor suppressor, the loss of which represents an alternate mechanism for deregulating Notch signaling in cancer.
Pensare un’economia trasformativa per comunità sostenibili e solidali

description: Pandemic has underlined as never before the limits of the prevailing economic model, and the evidence about the fact that our life styles are increasingly assaulted by multiple (financial, economic, ecologic and about social justice) lasting and overlapping crisis. The ‘solidarity society’ is showing, along this crisis, an important response capacity, practising multiple generative experiences of new economy whose common frame is a pact of care for its own living space, fair with both human community and natural environment. The serious consequences of the ongoing pandemic, the end of which is difficult to predict, will bring just a return to the previous situation or an activation of the large and diffuse social innovation potentialities? So far, we have no clear signal towards one or the other. In any case, we can develop alternative action and strategies based on potentialities. Starting from the local level there is the possibility to experiment not just residual or testimonial projects but alternative models of production, distribution, consumption and savings bringing back the concept of economy to its primary dimension, the one to satisfy fundament needs of the community. If we do not reclaim this dimension, we will not be able to answer the issues of equity and justice, both social and environmental, which are everyday becoming more urgent and essential at the global level.

description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) causes motor neuron degeneration, with 97% of cases exhibiting TDP-43 proteinopathy. Elucidating pathomechanisms has been hampered by disease heterogeneity and difficulties accessing motor neurons. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neurons (iPSMNs) offer a solution; however, studies have typically been limited to underpowered cohorts. Here, we present a comprehensive compendium of 429 iPSMNs from 15 datasets, and 271 post-mortem spinal cord samples. Using reproducible bioinformatic workflows, we identify robust upregulation of p53 signalling in ALS in both iPSMNs and post-mortem spinal cord. p53 activation is greatest with C9orf72 repeat expansions but is weakest with SOD1 and FUS mutations. TDP-43 depletion potentiates p53 activation in both post-mortem neuronal nuclei and cell culture, thereby functionally linking p53 activation with TDP-43 depletion. ALS iPSMNs and post-mortem tissue display enrichment of splicing alterations, somatic mutations, and gene fusions, possibly contributing to the DNA damage response.

description: The present report intends to deal with the spontaneous jet ignition, occurring just after the sudden outburst of hydrogen from a high-pressure reservoir into atmosphere. The propensity of hydrogen to ignite, is a complex problem, and little is known, in spite of numerous experiments and numerical analyses carried out. One possible scenario involves the effect of heat and mass diffusion at the contact surface, separating the cooled hydrogen from heated air, which may trigger chemistry and ultimately lead to ignition. A model with multistep kinetics for hydrogen-air combustion is examined here in the short time limit. A proper formulation has been developed by adding perturbation to the chemically frozen flow solution. A strategy for the numerical solution of the resulting linear problem involves splitting the problem into three subproblems. Results show two distinct regimes where early on, initiation is dominant, and at later times, chain-branching plays an important role.

Chrysis indigotea Dufour & Perris 1840: 38. Syntypes; France (MNHN) (examined). Dahlbom 1854: 208, Mocsáry 1889: 346, Trautmann 1927: 142, Balthasar 1954: 198, Haupt 1957: 96, Noskiewicz & Pulawski 1958: 45, Vikberg 1986a: 62, Rosa & Soon 2012.
Distribution. Sweden.—Westpalearctic: central and southern Europe, North Africa, Asia Minor (Linsenmaier 1959).
Remarks. Dahlbom (1854) reported one specimen from Östergötland in Sweden (” Ostrogothia Sveciae a me olim deprehensum ” [= Östergötland Sweden once detected by me, Dahlbom]). Several authors later reported the species from Sweden based on Dahlbom’s record. However, it was not included in the Swedish checklists by Erlandsson (1971) and Dyntaxa (2013). We have checked Dahlbom’s specimen, which is deposited in Lund (ZMUL) and it is correctly identified. The specimen has no geographical label, but as it was collected and reported from Sweden by Dahlbom, most likely it is genuinely of Swedish origin. No other records of C. indigotea are known from northern Europe. It is possible that the species has gone extinct in Sweden. The closest verified records of C. indigotea are from central Germany (Kroupa et al. 2012).
C. indigotea was added to the Finnish fauna by Silfverberg (1981: 61), who referred to Erlandsson (1971: 90). However, as noted by Vikberg (1986a), Erlandsson did not record the species from Finland but East Fennoscandia. No specimens of C. indigotea from Finland or Russian Fennoscandia have been found in collections, so most likely Erlandsson’s record is incorrect.

We also compare the results of the different research groups and conclude that although one of the main differences in the results for single degenerate progenitors is the retention efficiency with which accreted hydrogen is added to the white dwarf core, this cannot explain all the differences.

Microfluidic electrochemical detection of prostate cancer using telomerase activity
Creators: name: Yu, Jie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Prostate cancer has become one of the leading causes of death and the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men, worldwide. It is highly treatable if detected early, but the current screening methods suffer from poor clinical specificity for prostate cancer, leading to unavoidable misdiagnosis and overtreatment. Elevated telomerase activity has been discovered as an indicator of a variety of cancers, including over 92 % of prostate cancers. High clinical specificity of telomerase activity for prostate cancer compared to other prostate anomalies is an important concept promoted in this thesis. To overcome the quantification complexity of current telomerase activity detection techniques, we have designed and demonstrated the TAME assay (Telomerase Activity Measured Electrochemically): a microfluidic biosensor to detect and measure telomerase activity using an electrochemical technique known as E-DNA. Telomerase activity has been successfully correlated to a TAME parameter, TRAP (Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol) product concentration, using two E-DNA schemes: ‘signal-off’ and ‘signal-on’. In terms of the E-DNA signal change, telomerase activity and TRAP product concentrations we investigated are linearly correlated, which is promising for prostate cancer screening and detection. The signal-off scheme exhibits electrochemical signal suppression if telomerase activity is present with alternating cyclic voltammetry (ACV) at 50 Hz. The signal-on scheme shows the reverse effect with square wave voltammetry (SWV) at 150 Hz. ‘Signal-on’ and ‘signal-off’ are transferable by altering SWV’s frequency. The limit of detection of ‘signal-off’ and ‘signal-on’ on tested E-DNA chips using un-purified TRAP samples, originated from un-purified prostate cell extracts, are 55 nM and 10 nM. The TAME assay well-differentiates prostate cancer cells from healthy prostate epithelial cells based on telomerase activity expressions.Due to the trend in medical devices towards miniaturization, portability, low power, and high integration capability, in addition to a microfluidic E-DNA chip, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) microfluidic chip is under development. The PCR chamber is 2.5 mm X 2.5 mm with the integration of micro-heaters and temperature sensors. PCR chips are designed to achieve heating uniformity, which has been evaluated by thermal imagining. In future, a fully integrated TAME chip including both E-DNA and PCR is anticipated.

description: This research paper aims to verify the thesis according to which the local mono-functional economies such as those based on winter mass tourism are not sustainable, nor advantageous from an economic and social point of view. The analysis is based on the surveys conducted by Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat) in the spring 2020 lockdown period, relating to the loss of revenue in the Italian municipalities. In the Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta these losses are related to the tourist specialization (based on the number of tourists) and to the local endowment of services. In the mountain area of these two regions the average loss of service companies in the 46 tourist specialized municipalities was four times more than the average of all 536 mountain municipalities.

The Relationship Between a Medial Heel Whip and the Free Moment in Distance Runners

description: Understanding the pathomechanics and aetiology of running-related injuries is multi-factorial. Increased torsional stress has been suggested as a factor related to overuse running injuries, therefore, we hypothesized that a medial heel whip (MHW) can serve as a surrogate to the summation of foot-ground torsional stress as measured by the free moment (FM) as well as measures of foot progression angle (FPA) and rearfoot eversion (RE). This study found no significant relationship between FPA, MWH and only a small relationship between RE and FM (r=0.28, p=0.01). However, in a separate study, we did find that the MHW can be reliably measured using visual assessment and that it is a valid measure compared to three-dimensional kinematic data. The intra-rater percentage of agreement was 83% and the inter-rater percentage of agreement was 65%. Future studies are necessary to evaluate the role of other strength, flexibility and alignment measures and to determine if a MHW contributes meaningful information to understanding the aetiology and clinical assessment of running-related injuries.

description: We study soliton collisions and the decay of solitons into sound in superfluid Fermi gases across the Bose-Einstein condensate to Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BEC-BCS) crossover by performing numerical simulations of the time-dependent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. This decay process occurs when the solitons are accelerated to the bulk pair-breaking speed by an external potential. A similar decay process may occur when solitons are accelerated by an inelastic collision with another soliton. We find that soliton collisions become increasingly inelastic as we move from the BEC to BCS regimes, and the excess energy is converted into sound. We interpret this effect as being due to evolution of Andreev bound states localized within the soliton.

Il territorio come costruzione sociale al tempo del Covid
Creators: name: Bonomi, Aldo
Publisher: name: Scienze del Territorio
Year: 2020

description: To deal about territory as a social construction in Covid times we need to start again from community, albeit eradicated from physical proximity. The social dimension of the community does not pertain only to experts and prefects. The word ‘care’, beyond sanitary domain, urges a job that starts from feelings, anthropologies, operating on the thousand uncertainties that characterize our society rich in means and poor in collective ends. Care as a path and opportunity to rethink our being a community of destiny, starting from territories of the margin dense of practices and experiences between environmental sustainability and social inclusion, to take to the centre for more habitable cities. To this end, it is necessary that social innovation tries to escape from the technological allure or ritualism of technical design focused upon innovation of means, promoting instead innovation of social ends and production of collective meaning. We need to consider social innovation practices not only as good news, but also as a collective intellect of new intermediate bodies, that is, filaments of new institutionality. There can be no green economy without green society, a collective intellect rooted into territories to create and restore social cohesion. In terms of governance, it would seem logical to weave regional columns to dialogue with the state pediment that holds and coordinates everything, and then go to Europe and the world to come… given the state of debate, an utopia.

Il lavoro del virus e il virus del lavoro nelle mappe di territorio

description: The territorial analysis of the spread of Covid-19, detailed at the municipality and district level, is a necessary tool for understanding the morphology of the contagion and fighting it. It reveals its ‘classist’ character, which has affected the most poorer urban areas, but also as at the challenge of the virus the ‘network capitalism’ has revealed its structural ‘frailty’. Almost all long networks have thus crashed, as the borders closed, while the district economy has seen its virtue - the relationship of proximity, relational intensity, pushed interaction - transformed into vice and deadly threat: the ‘red’ areas, in which contagion and lethality are concentrated, correspond almost palmarily with those where productive and commercial interactivity was more fibrillating. The virus did not walk only on the silk road, in Italy it also retraced the provincial networks of production interchange, the salmon ascent along the valleys that had characterized the transition to post-Fordism, saw the clusters of warehouses become hubs of the contagion (the story of Bergamo is exemplary). The intertwining between the fibrillating intensity of doing and the frailty of the productive structure was lethal for areas such as the central Padania: between the fever of doing and the fever of the virus there is a tragic interaction where it is not the ‘Rhenish capitalism’ that dominates but the very intense and very frail Italian one.

description: Fractionally charged massive particles (FCHAMPs) appear in extensions of the standard model, especially those with superstring constructions. The lightest FCHAMP would be absolutely stable and any produced during the early evolution of the Universe would be present today. The production, annihilation, and survival of L, a lepton with electroweak but no strong interactions, of mass m_L and charge Q_L (in units of the positron charge) are explored. Since massive charged particles behave like baryons, primordial nucleosynthesis and the cosmic background radiation temperature anisotropies limit the FCHAMP relic density leading to constraints on the Q_L - m_L relation. Further constraints are provided by the invisible width of the Z and by accelerator searches for massive, charged particles. We exploit the fact that in the early Universe the negatively charged L will combine with alpha particles and protons forming tightly bound, positively charged states. The Coulomb barriers between these positively charged bound states and the free L+ suppress late time annihilation in the Galaxy and on Earth, limiting any late-time reduction of relic FCHAMP pairs. The surviving FCHAMP abundance on Earth is orders of magnitude higher than the limits from terrestrial searches for fractionally charged particles, appearing to close the window on FCHAMPs. However, as Q_L approaches an integer these searches become increasingly insensitive, leaving some "islands" in the Q_L - m_L plane which may be explored by searching for FCHAMPs in the cosmic rays.

description: Recent high-resolution N-body CDM simulations indicate that nonsingular three-parameter models such as the Einasto profile perform better than the singular two-parameter models, e.g. the Navarro, Frenk and White, in fitting a wide range of dark matter haloes. While many of the basic properties of the Einasto profile have been discussed in previous studies, a number of analytical properties are still not investigated. In particular, a general analytical formula for the surface density, an important quantity that defines the lensing properties of a dark matter halo, is still lacking to date. To this aim, we used a Mellin integral transform formalism to derive a closed expression for the Einasto surface density and related properties in terms of the Fox H and Meijer G functions, which can be written as series expansions. This enables arbitrary-precision calculations of the surface density and the lensing properties of realistic dark matter halo models. Furthermore, we compared the Sérsic and Einasto surface mass densities and found differences between them, which implies that the lensing properties for both profiles differ.

description: The article presents the maps and data at the provincial level of COVID infections in Italy in the first phase of the epidemic (March-May 2020). The bio-geography of infections in Italy was very articulated, with a spatial imprint that was maintained in the months considered despite significant variations in the total number of infections within the period considered. In addition to a North-South macro-gradient, infra- and supra-regional territorial areas with specific characteristics have been produced. The situations less affected by the infections occurred in areas without significant metropolitan components, characterized by a more balanced relationship from an ecological and landscape point of view. Some implications for better management of future epidemic risks are discussed. The so-called ‘green deal’ development models, in addition to the new contents for economic productions, need to have greater awareness of the bio-physical risks associated with an inadequate government of the territory: it will be necessary that they concretely assign a relevant role to multi-scalars networks of ecosystems and landscapes and the resilience services they offer.

Sorveglianza globale e metropoli pandemica. Attualità e genealogia di un disastro
Creators: name: Marzocca, Ottavio

description: The SARS-COV2 pandemic has shown that entrusting global communications systems with public health protection can produce disastrous results. In fact, the strategies of planetary surveillance, promoted by the World Health Organization for the prevention of EIDs that have long been the greatest danger of pandemic infections, are oriented in this sense. These strategies are based, on the one hand, on the problematic willingness of nation-states to promptly communicate information on the risks of epidemics and, on the other hand, on the algorithmic processing of large masses of disparate data derived from web users behaviours. The growth of urban concentrations – the subject of anti-epidemic biopolitics since the beginnings of modernity and today recognized as a determining factor of the ecosystem alterations that cause pandemic dangers – in this scenario risks becoming a tendency to resign oneself to, waiting for the next contagion. The territorialist approach can offer alternative perspectives to this both by promoting and applying the idea of ​​ urban bioregion and by taking into account that there are already those who plan to transfer most of the ‘dangerous liaisons’ that take place in the postmodern metropolis online.

description: This work explores how vulnerable populations learn about, perceive, and incorporate natural hazards risks into their lives, and explores whether access to assistive online tools would result in an increased likelihood that at-risk residents would develop and maintain a set of household emergency preparedness and disaster response plans. I focus on a case study conducted on tsunami hazards risk in the community of Port Alberni, British Columbia, Canada. Located on the western coast of Vancouver Island, Port Alberni is the site of the most destructive tsunami disaster to have occurred in Canada during historic times, and remains a community vulnerable to tsunami hazards from sources located throughout the Pacific Ocean, including along the Cascadia Subjection Zone located just west of Vancouver Island. I first explore how various spatial data may be used to establish a community-wide tsunami evacuation map using a set of Geographic Information System (GIS) models, establishing the ease or difficulty associated with evacuating each household located within the official tsunami inundation zone. Next, I examine how household and personal factors can influence a household’s social vulnerability, potentially affecting their ability to recover following a tsunami disaster. Finally, I explore how these risk elements can be combined with household demographic information using a web-based application to assist study participants to develop a comprehensive set of household tsunami preparedness and response plans customized to the unique needs of participants’ household members and pets. Participant responses to a set of questionnaires and a short interview was used to assess the effectiveness of the online tool in encouraging the development of household emergency plans, and to provide guidance on how future versions of such a tool could be modified to better meet the needs of vulnerable households in other Canadian communities.

description: This article tries to grasp the ‘essential meaning’ of the pandemic and its context to introduce an alternative outcome based on practices already living, here and now, among local actors. From the break of co-evolutionary process between nature and culture to territorial regeneration as a design rule; from the tragic dominance of death to the vision of desired worlds of life. Resilience as resistance and proposal. Multiple experiences are gathered here, focusing the theme of neo-rurality and the co-production/consumption relationship, also in its nascent and growing connection with the Food Policy of the Milan Municipality and with civil volunteering. Right in the heart of the pandemic, which does not destroy but sees these practices grow and strengthen towards the future. They concern: small/medium-sized businesses and their more complex solidarity networks; the new role of some cooperatives, ‘hubs’ at the very centre of local agricultural realities in extended interaction. Field experiences that reveal all their fertility in a dialogue among theory, cultures and social practices destined to change the current common sense.

Riabitare un patrimonio: le ‘casette’ e la vita transumante nei monti del Cicolano (Rieti) tra memoria e nuova coscienza dei luoghi

description: In the plateau of Cicolano, south-eastern area of the province of Rieti, since ancient times human living has been possible thanks to agricultural, forest and pastoral activities. The only permanent centre was Castello di Rascino. Once it was destroyed by wars, at the end of the 13th century, the population migrated in two different directions, a part contributing to the foundation of L’Aquila, the other populating the slopes of the adjacent Valle del Salto. To abandon the plateau did not mean to abandon the productive activities, which became seasonal starting the phenomenon of transhumance. Since the seasonal transhumant, who hung about the plateau looking after the flocks or growing cereals and legumes, needed shelters, they started building structures locally called ‘casette’ (small houses). Strategically positioned close to privately appropriated fields or pastures, 147 of these ancient structures have been surveyed. Characterised by a simple and essential architecture, they have fences with ‘anti-wolf’ features to shelter flocks. The social changes of the first half of the last century decreed their abandonment. A recent recovery action, partly supported by EU funds, has helped making this a collective asset which, if well managed, can represent an opportunity for economic and social rescue of the entire territory, historically isolated and fragile.

description: We re-examine the formation of the inner Oort comet cloud while the Sun was in its birth cluster with the aid of numerical simulations. This work is a continuation of an earlier study (Brasser et al., 2006) with several substantial modifications. First, the system consisting of stars, planets and comets is treated self-consistently in our N-body simulations, rather than approximating the stellar encounters with the outer Solar System as hyperbolic fly-bys. Second, we have included the expulsion of the cluster gas, a feature that was absent previously. Third, we have used several models for the initial conditions and density profile of the cluster -- either a Hernquist or Plummer potential -- and chose other parameters based on the latest observations of embedded clusters from the literature. {These other parameters result in the stars being on radial orbits and the cluster collapses.} Similar to previous studies, in our simulations the inner Oort cloud is formed from comets being scattered by Jupiter and Saturn and having their pericentres decoupled from the planets by perturbations from the cluster gas and other stars. We find that all inner Oort clouds formed in these clusters have an inner edge ranging from 100 AU to a few hundred AU, and an outer edge at over 100\,000 AU, with little variation in these values for all clusters. All inner Oort clouds formed are consistent with the existence of (90377) Sedna, an inner Oort cloud dwarf planetoid, at the inner edge of the cloud: Sedna tends to be at the innermost 2% for Plummer models, while it is 5% for Hernquist models. We emphasise that the existence of Sedna is a generic outcome. We define a `concentration radius' for the inner Oort cloud and find that its value increases with increasing number of stars in the cluster, ranging from 600 AU to 1500 AU for Hernquist clusters and from 1500 AU to 4000 AU for Plummer clusters...

description: Nanocatalytic in-situ upgrading is a novel technique for increasing heavy-oil recovery from naturally-carbonate-fractured reservoirs. In this research the effect of the gases, the catalyst, and the reaction heating on producing heavy-oil from carbonate matrix blocks are studied. Therefore, batch-mode experiments were carried out in a cylindrical core holder set-up to simulate heavy oil recovery from matrix blocks of Indiana limestone and Silurian dolomite core samples. Finally, a simple analytical method is proposed for modelling the temperature distribution in a matrix block heated by nanocatalytic in-situ upgrading process. This method is derived from the solutions of the heat conduction equation under different boundary conditions. Results demonstrate that nanocatalytic in-situ upgrading is an enhanced oil recovery process in which gas oil gravity drainage, miscibility, chemical reactions, and thermal conduction play an important role in the production of heavy-oil from carbonate matrix blocks.
Politiche urbane e pratiche solidali. Il panorama internazionale e un caso di studio

description: The crisis triggered by Covid-19 has accelerated a process of rethinking of contemporary living forms, already underway for some time, started in recent years especially by the fight against climate change and by the movements for the ‘right to the city’. This contribution proposes a reflection on two levels: that of medium and long-term international urban policies, and that of solidarity practices experimented in the city of Florence, taken as a case study. The article therefore offers a critical summary of some international policy documents dedicated to the response of cities to Covid-19. In the part dedicated to the case study, it describes the emergence of self-organized solidarity networks created in response to the immediate needs of the inhabitants, excluded from institutional emergency measures. In conclusion, it is highlighted how the indications of European policies point towards a more inclusive, sustainable and digital city and towards a different model of tourist use. At the same time, it can be observed that convincing hypotheses for a territorial restart of strong political value come from the realities active in solidarity mutualism. At the basis of these visions lie, in our opinion, a renewed centrality of public policies and collective space, an ability for interinstitutional and cooperative dialogue with the various social components, an attention to the bioregional scale for an effective ecological transition.

description: Quantum noise places a fundamental limit on the per photon sensitivity attainable in optical measurements. This limit is of particular importance in biological measurements, where the optical power must be constrained to avoid damage to the specimen. By using non-classically correlated light, we demonstrated that the quantum limit can be surpassed in biological measurements. Quantum enhanced microrheology was performed within yeast cells by tracking naturally occurring lipid granules with sensitivity 2.4 dB beyond the quantum noise limit. The viscoelastic properties of the cytoplasm could thereby be determined with a 64% improved measurement rate. This demonstration paves the way to apply quantum resources broadly in a biological context.

description: The Sverdrup Basin in the Canadian Arctic records a shift from warm-water photozoan carbonates to cool-water heterozoan carbonates during the Early Permian. Carbonate buildups composed of dominantly thrombolytic micrite with primary biotic components including bryozoan, echinoderm, Tubiphytes, brachiopod and sponge spicules occur as a series of mud mounds restricted to paleobathymetric lows located on present day Ellesmere Island. As many as 43 carbonate mud mounds have been catalogued from both Blind Fiord and Otto Fiord and are described and interpreted using microfacies analysis and geochemical analyses as part of this study. These mounds grew up to 150 m in thickness at the interface between a distally steepened ramp and a sigmoidal slope. This setting was below storm wave base, nutrient rich, and subjected to frequent turbidites and tempestites. Sediments from this environment comprise variably silty heterozoan wackestones and packstones.between a distally steepened ramp and a sigmoidal slope.
