Knowledge for the Enhancement between Memory and Contemporaneity: Pilgrim’s Old and New Routes in Historical Maps (15th-19th Centuries)

description: The text analyses the cartography produced between the late Middle Ages and the Unification of Italy (and the Carta d’Italia of the Military Survey Office): among the most important categories of documented sources for the history of viability and the area. The original maps (almost all hand-drawn) prevail, drawn for the ancient states or upper classes for the purpose of military or civil management, control and enhancement of the territory.  Beyond the metrics and topographic contents, the utilisation of historical maps requires research in public and private land registries of Italy and other countries, which is not always easy. It furthermore requires a rational critical evaluation of the products and with this the necessary contextualisation of administrative and political-economic-social strategic practice to which they belong. The text addresses historical cartography (general maps of various scales and road types) used for the study of viability, including the numerous pilgrim routes that cross Tuscany from north to south, passing through the Appennino, through the crossings of Lunigiana and Valtiberina. The official Tuscan products, as well as those of its sub-regions and communities (whose road network is highlighted) stand out among others, and also singular street routes, particularly those drawn during the second half of the 18th century and the first decades of the 20th century when the geometric cadastre was completed. Almost all of them were needed to be able to rule the territory and often to plan and carry out important public work as well as modernisation of communication infrastructure.

The International Feast of the History. A Concrete Project for the Dissemination of History and Heritage

Subjects: History; Heritage; Roots; Education; Teaching

description: In this paper, I present a series of educational projects, new challenges and perspectives that the International Centre of methodology for teaching history and heritage (DiPaSt) of the University of Bologna has undertaken in the last years regarding the teaching of history and heritage education. I would like to start by asking a question: can historical and cultural heritage act as a tool to compensate for the gaps, shortcomings, and the sense of loss, which afflict and define the society in which we live? In addition, this in turn leads us to another question: which tools and which methodologies can we use? Every time when a professor starts a new course of Medieval History or Methodologies of teaching history, most of the students tell him that they do not like history. Therefore, the professor usually spends half of the time of the course explaining why it is important to study and to teach history. Because history is not the merely textbook, or a sequence of dates, wars, battles. Nevertheless, history is us, we are history. For these reasons, fifteen years ago, a group of professors of the University of Bologna got together and created the “Feast of the history”. Nowadays, the Feast is widely recognized as one of the most important events in Europe.

description: Questions regarding how primordial or pristine the comets of the solar system are have been an ongoing controversy. In this review, we describe comets' physical evolution from dust and ice grains in the solar nebula to the contemporary small bodies in the outer solar system. This includes the phases of dust agglomeration, the formation of planetesimals, their thermal evolution and the outcomes of collisional processes. We use empirical evidence about comets, in particular from the Rosetta Mission to comet 67P/Churyumov--Gerasimenko, to draw conclusions about the possible thermal and collisional evolution of comets.

An asperity-based statistical model for the adhesive friction of elastic nominally flat rough contact interfaces

description: Contact mechanics-based models for the friction of nominally flat rough surfaces have not been able to adequately capture certain key experimentally observed phenomenona, such as the transition from a static friction peak to a lower level of sliding friction and the shear-induced contact area reduction that has been observed in the pre-sliding regime especially for soft materials. Here, we propose a statistical model based on physically-rooted contact mechanics laws describing the micromechanics of individual junctions. The model considers the quasi-static tangential loading, up to full sliding, of the contact between a smooth rigid flat surface and a nominally flat linear elastic rough surface comprising random independent spherical asperities, and accounts for the coupling between adhesion and friction at the micro-junction level. The model qualitatively reproduces both the macroscopic shear-induced contact area reduction and, remarkably, the static friction peak without the need to explicitly introduce two different friction levels. It also demonstrates how the static friction peak and contact area evolution depend on the normal load and certain key microscale interface properties such as surface energy, mode mixity and frictional shear strength. "Tougher" interfaces (i.e. with larger surface energy and smaller mode mixity parameter) are shown to result in a larger real contact area and a more pronounced static friction peak. Overall, this work provides important insights about how key microscale properties operating at the asperity level can combine with the surface statistics to reproduce important macroscopic responses observed in rough frictionalsoft contact experiments.

MPIparallelism

description: OpenFOAM acts as a major player in the Open Source CFD arena, due to its flexibility, but its complexity
 also makes it more difficult to correctly define performance figure and scaling.
 One of the main bottlenecks for a full enabling of OpenFOAM for massively parallel cluster is the limit in its MPIparallelism
 paradigm, embodied in the Pstream library, which limits the scalability up to the orders of few thousands
 of cores. The proposed work aims to creating an interface to external linear algebra libraries for solving SpMV linear
 system such as PETSc/Hypre thus providing to the users a greater choice and flexibility when solving their cases, and
 to utilise their respective Community’s knowledge which has been developed over decades and not currently accessible
 within the OpenFOAM framework.

description: We give the first polynomial time algorithm for \emph{list-decodable covariance estimation}. For any $α> 0$, our algorithm takes input a sample $Y \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ of size $n\geq d^{\mathsf{poly}(1/α)}$ obtained by adversarially corrupting an $(1-α)n$ points in an i.i.d. sample $X$ of size $n$ from the Gaussian distribution with unknown mean $μ_*$ and covariance $Σ_*$. In $n^{\mathsf{poly}(1/α)}$ time, it outputs a constant-size list of $k = k(α)= (1/α)^{\mathsf{poly}(1/α)}$ candidate parameters that, with high probability, contains a $(\hatμ,\hatΣ)$ such that the total variation distance $TV(\mathcal{N}(μ_*,Σ_*),\mathcal{N}(\hatμ,\hatΣ))<1-O_α(1)$. This is the statistically strongest notion of distance and implies multiplicative spectral and relative Frobenius distance approximation for parameters with dimension independent error. Our algorithm works more generally for $(1-α)$-corruptions of any distribution $D$ that possesses low-degree sum-of-squares certificates of two natural analytic properties: 1) anti-concentration of one-dimensional marginals and 2) hypercontractivity of degree 2 polynomials. Prior to our work, the only known results for estimating covariance in the list-decodable setting were for the special cases of list-decodable linear regression and subspace recovery due to Karmarkar, Klivans, and Kothari (2019), Raghavendra and Yau (2019 and 2020) and Bakshi and Kothari (2020). These results need superpolynomial time for obtaining any subconstant error in the underlying dimension. Our result implies the first polynomial-time \emph{exact} algorithm for list-decodable linear regression and subspace recovery that allows, in particular, to obtain $2^{-\mathsf{poly}(d)}$ error in polynomial-time. Our result also implies an improved algorithm for clustering non-spherical mixtures.

description: The SLAC T-510 experiment provides the first beam-test of radio-frequency radiation from a charged particle cascade in the presence of a magnetic field (up to 970 G), a model system for radio-frequency emission from a cosmic-ray air shower. The primary purpose of this experiment is to provide a suite of controlled laboratory tests to compare to simulations based on particlelevel models of RF emission, making the calibrations of critical importance. We present system calibrations and analysis of the experiment from end to end. Measurements of the beam charge and two-dimensional magnetic field map are fed directly into the simulations using two different formalisms: ZHS and Endpoints. Simulated electric fields are forward-folded with the system response, allowing for direct comparisons of spectra and waveforms with the simulations.

description: Speed is the key to further advances in technology. For example, quantum technologies, such as quantum computing, require fast manipulations of quantum systems in order to overcome the effect of decoherence. However, controlling the speed of quantum dynamics is often very difficult due to both the lack of a simple scaling property in the dynamics and the infinitely large parameter space to be explored. Therefore, protocols for speed control based on understanding on the dynamical properties of the system, such as non-trivial scaling property, are highly desirable. Fast-forward scaling theory (FFST) was originally developed to provide a way to accelerate, decelerate, stop and reverse the dynamics of quantum systems. FFST has been extended in order to accelerate quantum and classical adiabatic dynamics of various systems including cold atoms, internal state of molecules, spins and solid-state artificial atoms. This paper describes the basic concept of FFST and review the recent developments and its applications such as fast state-preparations, state protection and ion sorting. We introduce a method, called inter-trajectory travel, derived from FFST recently. We also point out the significance of deceleration in quantum technology.

Subjects: Cultural Routes; Historical Cartography; GIS; Heritage; Amiata

description: The contribution intends to show the approach and the methodology of historical geography used in the research and to corroborate the identification, as well as the officialization, of an ancient route in southern Tuscany. At the foot of Mount Amiata, the route was closely interconnected to the Via Francigena and likewise the history of the villages in the area.
The research has involved a thorough study of ancient written sources and historical cartography, a significant part of the research was undertaken in the field using a multidisciplinary approach. Archeology was particularly important, with the fundamental support of GPS survey tools and a consequent digital return and analysis by Geographical Information System (GIS).
The aim is not only to produce scientific material for the rediscovery of a historical-geographic context, but also to offer an important opportunity to make the most of the natural resources and the cultural, historical and artistic discoveries with the itinerary as the central idea. Following the concrete results obtained from the officialization of the itinerary, the research is an important witness to the landscape transformations and to the territorial development that the route, as in the past, continues to encourage.

description: The North West Shelf of Australia represents an extensive tropical carbonate ramp and forms an important template for the interpretation of similar systems found within the sedimentary record. Yet, little is known about the development of the distally steepened ramp during the mid-to-late Quaternary, a period during which NW-Australia was subject to high-frequency glacioeustatic changes in sea level and climate. This research presents core and seismic-reflection data from a mid to outer ramp transect at the Northwest Shelf. The investigated interval displays a distinct pattern with alternating changes in core color from dark to light. Dark intervals formed during humid interglacials and are composed of calcitic skeletal carbonates and elevated amounts of fluvial-derived siliciclastic input. Light intervals are predominantly comprised of inorganic precipitated aragonitic carbonates, which formed during arid glacial lowstands. Humid interglacials are characterized by limited sedimentation across the Northwest Shelf of Australia. Yet, substantial amounts of skeletal carbonates were deposited during the Holocene and Marine Isotope Stage 11. The presented results are consequential for the interpretation of seismic and outcrop data found within the rock record, as they emphasize the strong variability of carbonate production in response to glacioeustatic changes in climate, sea level, and antecedent topography. It further highlights a system, which predominantly produces and exports inorganic-derived aragonite during glacial low stands, thereby offering an alternative to the commonly applied platform model of “highstand-shedding”.

description: In order to define the path of a medieval road, it is essential to use different kind of sources, like the written texts, the archaeological and material remains referred to the road, the study of the geomorphological context, the toponymy. Modern technologies can help us to examine and use all these sources: first of all, the creation of a database could permit to manage all the data we have about a road; secondly, the database could be loaded in a GIS software, in order to answer to some historical, archaeological and topographical questions. This methodology can be applied to the “Via Francigena” case: starting from Sigeric’s itinerary, which is the main source about the road, it is possible to create a database containing all the data about the submansiones mentioned by the text. Furthermore, loading the database in a GIS software gives the possibility to study the road in its entire length, helping us to understand the relationships between the Via Francigena, the other itineraries and the ancient roads. But at the same time, this enables us to study the route in a specific region, and it could also be the opportunity to comprehend the evolution of the historical landscapes, focusing both on the track of the road and on the territory that the road has conditioned, according to the concept of “street areas”.

description: In the last decade, soundscapes have become one of the most active topics in Acoustics, providing a holistic approach to the acoustic environment, which involves human perception and context. Soundscapes-elicited emotions are central and substantially subtle and unnoticed (compared to speech or music). Currently, soundscape emotion recognition is a very active topic in the literature. We provide an exhaustive variable selection study (i.e., a selection of the soundscapes indicators) to a well-known dataset (emo-soundscapes). We consider linear soundscape emotion models for two soundscapes descriptors: arousal and valence. Several ranking schemes and procedures for selecting the number of variables are applied. We have also performed an alternating optimization scheme for obtaining the best sequences keeping fixed a certain number of features. Furthermore, we have designed a novel technique based on Gibbs sampling, which provides a more complete and clear view of the relevance of each variable. Finally, we have also compared our results with the analysis obtained by the classical methods based on p-values. As a result of our study, we suggest two simple and parsimonious linear models of only 7 and 16 variables (within the 122 possible features) for the two outputs (arousal and valence), respectively. The suggested linear models provide very good and competitive performance, with $R^2>0.86$ and $R^2>0.63$ (values obtained after a cross-validation procedure), respectively.

description: The passivation of the crystalline silicon surface is directly related to the open circuit voltage for the hetero-junction a-Si/c-Si solar cell, and efficiencies above 22% and open-circuit voltages (Voc) above 700 mV are demonstrated in the literature. To achieve very high Voc and effective lifetime for these c-Si devices a high quality a-Si:H passivation will be needed. For thin film amorphous silicon based devices it is well-known that the PECVD conditions required to produce high quality a-Si:H are very close to the region where micro-crystalline Si is deposited. However, for the growth of a passivation layer on crystalline silicon these conditions often result in epitaxial growth at the interface, reducing the effective lifetime and Voc of those devices. In this paper, data will be presented that correlates passivation properties of intrinsic amorphous silicon films to device performance. Specifically it is demonstrated that the passivation properties change during the anneal processes applied to cells during the manufacturing of full devices.

An open question, for example, is the description of the interplay of disorder and interactions, which has been predicted to give rise to exotic states of matter such as quantum glasses or many-body localization. In this review, we will present an overview of experimental observations with disordered quantum gases, focused on one-dimensional bosons, and we will connect them with theoretical predictions.

description: The contribution of power production by Photovoltaic (PV) systems to the electricity supply is constantly increasing. An efficient use of the fluctuating solar power production will highly benefit from forecast information on the expected power production. This forecast information is necessary for the management of the electricity grids and for energy trading. This paper presents an approach to predict regional PV power output based on irradiance forecasts provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). In the first part of the paper we introduce and evaluated different approaches to refine the irradiance forecasts. The second part of the paper addresses the power prediction for ensembles of PV systems. Here, in view of the data handling problems associated with the high number of individual systems contributing to the total PV generation within a region, the identification of representative subsets and representative system characterizations reflecting the power characteristics of the total ensemble is discussed.

Optimizing the Multi Level Multi Domain Particle-in-Cell code Parsek2D-MLMD
Creators: name: T. Ponweiser
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014
Subjects: simulation of astrophysical, space, plasmas

description: Parsek2D-MLMD is a semi-implicit Multi Level Multi Domain Particle-in-Cell (PIC) code for the simulation of astrophysical and space plasmas. In this Whitepaper, we report on improvements on Parsek2D-MLMD carried out in the course of the PRACE preparatory access project 2010PA1802. Through algorithmic enhancements – in particular the implementation of smoothing and temporal sub-stepping – as well as through performance tuning using HPCToolkit, the efficiency of the code has been improved significantly. For representative benchmark cases, we consistently achieved a total speedup of a factor 10 and higher.
The Influence of Pilgrimage Routes on Local Culture and Imagination: the “Italian Compostela” as a case study

Subjects: Saint James the Greater; Pilgrimage; Pistoia; Religious Imagination; Cults

description: In the middle of the 12th century Pistoia achieved an important relic of Saint James the Greater from Santiago de Compostela, becoming in a short time the most important Italian landmark for the worship of the Saint. As a consequence, the Tuscan city, placed near the Francigena route, became also an important center of pilgrimage, as demonstrated by several aspects of its topography and material production. Mostly within the first half of the 16th century, both local culture and popular imagination have been deeply influenced by the worship of the Apostle, especially by his characterization as pilgrimage’s patron; this influence can be recognized not only in some artistic works (above all through the representation of scallop shells – the pecten jacobeus – or through the representation of biblical figures clearly related to pilgrimage), but also in miracles’ tales and in the morphology of the Patron Saint’s festival.

Through an iconological and anthropological analysis of some of these material and written sources, the example of Pistoia can demonstrate how pilgrimage, «a kinetic ritual, full of real and “sacred” objects» (Turner-Turner, 1997), influences in a wide sense the culture of the places interested by this important phenomenon.

Basilicas in Venantius Fortunatus’ Miscellanea

Year: 2017
Subjects: Venantius Fortunatus; Basilicas; Merovingian

description: The article deals with the basilicas in Venantius Fortunatus’Miscellanea. Indeed, the eleven books of Carmina by the italic poet who lived for many years in the merovingian France, describe several samples of such buildings dedicated to prayers and worship of God and saints. The attention is drawn not in particular to their architecture, but to the role and function they usually held in the frame of a society where Christianity attempted to overcome still notable opposition of unchristians. Artificer of these holy buildings was the bishop, whom Venantius gives a lot of praises to, seeking that same way of still and rich life which he could reach when probably he was no longer young.

description: Flexible Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells on a polyimide foil were manufactured by an
adapted low-temperature ion beam assisted co-evaporation process. The extra amount of energy supplied by the
incoming selenium ions is proven to enhance the growing regime during low-temperature deposition. With increasing
ion energy above a certain value a degradation of the electrical parameters is observed. Electrically active defects are
suspected to be responsible for this decrease of the electric parameters of the solar cells. It is the purpose of this work
to show the origin of these defects and their influence on the electrical properties of the CIGS absorber layer by the
utilization of admittance spectroscopy. We discuss the results with respect to potential conversion efficiency
improvements and correlate the findings with selenium ion beam parameters.
