description: Dans cette recherche, nous avons en premier lieu étudié de manière théorique le fonctionnement de la motivation. Nous avons pu identifier les indicateurs pour permettre de la reconnaître. Nous avons ensuite analysé les spécificités et les étapes d’apprentissage du vocabulaire en allemand. Cette double analyse nous a permis de mener une démarche d’enseignement débouchant sur une liste d’activités d’enseignement du vocabulaire en allemand favorisant l’engagement cognitif des élèves et générant un apprentissage durable. Ainsi, notre question de recherche est la suivante : au sein des activités sélectionnées en tenant compte des spécificités du vocabulaire et des étapes d’apprentissage, lesquelles permettent des apprentissages durables et un engagement dans une salle de classe ? Nous avons présenté les activités de la liste à deux enseignantes expertes et deux enseignantes novices. L’objectif étant de savoir si elles estimaient que ces activités favorisaient la motivation des élèves et permettaient de générer des apprentissages durables du vocabulaire allemand. Notre recherche est de type qualitatif et est basée sur les pratiques déclarées des enseignant-e-s.

description: SrMoO₃, SrNbO₃, and SrVO₃ are remarkable highly conducting d¹ (V, Nb) or d² (Mo) perovskite metals with an intrinsically high transparency in the visible. A key scientific question is how the optical properties of these materials can be manipulated to make them suitable for applications as transparent electrodes and in plasmonics. Here, it is shown how 3d/4d cationic substitution in perovskites tailors the relevant materials parameters, i.e., optical transition energy and plasma frequency. With the example of the solid‐state solution SrV₁₋ₓMoₓO₃, it is shown that the absorption and reflection edges can be shifted to the edges of the visible light spectrum, resulting in a material that has the potential to outperform indium tin oxide (ITO) due to its extremely low sheet resistance. An optimum for x = 0.5, where a resistivity of 32 µΩ cm (≈12 Ω sq⁻¹) is paired with a transmittance above 84% in the whole visible spectrum is found. Quantitative comparison between experiments and electronic structure calculations show that the shift of the plasma frequency is governed by the interplay of d‐band filling and electronic correlations. This study advances the knowledge about the peculiar class of highly conducting perovskites toward sustainable transparent conductors and emergent plasmonics.

description: Alexander Sokurov estava à frente do seu tempo, quando 15 anos antes pensou na possibilidade de fazer um filme com um único take. A era digital ainda estaria para chegar e conceder-lhe essa possibilidade. Assim, Russkij Kovcheg (A Arca Russa, 2002) é um filme de um único plano-sequência, filmado num dia (23 de Dezembro de 2001), e é também a mais longa sequência em Cinema operada em Steadicam. A ideia de filmar o Hermitage de São Petersburgo, um dos maiores e mais antigos museus do mundo, foi tecnologicamente uma revolução: o único take de 90 minutos em cinema digital, em tempo real, através das galerias do Hermitage, é uma viagem no tempo por diversos períodos da história da Rússia até ao presente. A ligação entre tempo e espaço – a dimensão cinematográfica – consagra ao filme um lugar único na história do Cinema.

description: Quantum information science and engineering (QISE) which entails use of quantum mechanical states for information processing, communications, and sensing and the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology have dominated condensed matter physics and materials science research in the 21st century. Solid state devices for QISE have, to this point, predominantly been designed with bulk materials as their constituents. In this review, we consider how nanomaterials (i.e. materials with intrinsic quantum confinement) may offer inherent advantages over conventional materials for QISE. We identify the materials challenges for specific types of qubits, and we identify how emerging nanomaterials may overcome these challenges. Challenges for and progress towards nanomaterials based quantum devices are identified. We aim to help close the gap between the nanotechnology and quantum information communities and inspire research that will lead to next generation quantum devices for scalable and practical quantum applications.

description: O livro impresso é um dos maiores representantes da cultura material, ou cultura pré-digital/analógica. No entanto, argumento que o romance impresso contemporâneo, um género historicamente relacionado com o códice, encontra-se sob um processo de intensificação material através de técnicas e instrumentos de composição digital e produção. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo abordar estas questões sobre as interseções entre literatura impressa e a cultura digital. A análise é focada no romance VAS: An Opera in Flatland (2002) de Steve Tomasula. Este é um romance multimodal, no qual convergem diferentes inscrições textuais (tipografia, fotografia, desenho ...), transmitindo discursos complexos, através das suas instanciações impressas e digitais. Defendo que uma atenção a estas retroações no romance em análise permite elaborar uma relação entre a cultura analógica/impressa e a cultura digital em que as experimentações textuais revelam uma prática crítica que interroga os modos de intersecção das duas culturas.

Creating News Visuals: A Multi-method Study of Drone Pilots' Role in the Appropriation and Shaping of Drones in the UK Media
Creators: name: Fokiceva, Elina
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis argues that drone visuals production is a process of social shaping of drones in the media, where the central role is given to a drone pilot actor (ANT). The primary study's question is how and why are drone visuals produced and used in the UK news? The study explores the processes of drone video production and denotes the organisational influence on the social shaping of drones (SCOT). This research examined drone pilot practices by conducting 21 semi-structured interviews with the BBC in-house, freelance, and private drone company pilots, BBC representatives, and examiners from a Recognised Assessment entity (RAE). The study presents findings from an ECA of drone video collections discovered from the BBC Motion Gallery and ITN Online Collection. This study offers a theoretical and methodological contribution to drone journalism study, reflecting on the social shaping of technology in the media, the role of the new media professional - the drone pilot- and the new form of visual content, the drone video. The thesis presents findings on drone pilots' role in shaping drones in the media and the visual framing of news stories. The organisational context, drone pilot collective subjectivities and the visual framing aspects have been discussed in this thesis as it relates to this study's aims.

description: This is a review on entropy in various fields of mathematics and science. Its scope is to convey a unified vision of the classical as well as some newer entropy notions to a broad audience with an intermediate background in dynamical systems and ergodic theory. Due to the breadth and depth of the subject, we have opted for a compact exposition whose contents are a compromise between conceptual import and instrumental relevance. The intended technical level and the space limitation born furthermore upon the final selection of the topics, which cover the three items named in the title. Specifically, the first part is devoted to the avatars of entropy in the traditional contexts: many particle physics, information theory, and dynamical systems. This chronological order helps to present the materials in a didactic manner. The axiomatic approach will be also considered at this stage to show that, quite remarkably, the essence of entropy can be encapsulated in a few basic properties. Inspired by the classical entropies, further akin quantities have been proposed in the course of time, mostly aimed at specific needs. A common denominator of those addressed in the second part of this review is their major impact on research. The final part shows that, along with its profound role in the theory, entropy has interesting practical applications beyond information theory and communications technology. For this sake we preferred examples from applied mathematics, although there are certainly nice applications in, say, physics, computer science and even social sciences. This review concludes with a representative list of references.

title: A geometrical parameter study of the analytical stress calculation in adhesive joints with thick bonding layers
Creators: name: Methfessel, Thomas S.
name: Becker, Wilfried
Publisher: name: Wiley-VCH
Year: 2023

description: Strength and failure analyses are critical to the safe and sustainable design of any structure. In the case of adhesively bonded joints, particular attention must be paid to the adhesive layer, which is comparably compliant and subject to high stresses. Determining the stresses in the adhesive layer is essential to identify critical areas in the joint and prevent the formation of cracks. In most applications, bonded joints have thin adhesive layers that can already be accounted for with highly simplified analytical models. However, for the consideration of thicker adhesive layers, advanced models are required that take the adhesive layer into account in more detail. Therefore, in this work, an analytical model with a higher‐order displacement approach is presented to account for more complex deformation behavior in the adhesive layer. The applied advanced displacement approach is particularly suitable for joints with thicker adhesive layers. In addition, the model enables the calculation of stresses and strains in bonded joints for a wide range of joint configurations and applications. A parameter study is carried out to evaluate the effect of different thicknesses of the adhesive layer and to show the advantages of the current model compared to other existing ones. For verification, all analytical results were compared with corresponding Finite Element Analyses.

description: ASHVIN WP5 “Digital twin-based structural monitoring and asset management” focus on establishing a real-time connection between physical infrastructures and virtual yet realistic numerical models of such assets for the purpose of supporting maintenance and asset management tasks. Deliverable 5.2 entitled ”Digital-Twin enabled multi-physics simulation and model matching” was submitted in April 2023 under this work package. This report is related to task 5.2 “Multi-physics FEM model calibration” lead by UPC. Abstract This deliverable presents a report on the developed actions and results concerning Digital- Twin-enabled multi-physics simulations and model matching. Enabling meaningful simulations within new human-infrastructure interfaces such as Digital twins is paramount. Accessing the power of simulation opens manifold new ways for observation, understanding, analysis and prediction of numerous scenarios to which the asset may be faced. As a result, managers can access countless ways of acquiring synthetic data for eventually taking better, more informed decisions. The tool MatchFEM is conceived as a fundamental part of this endeavour. From a broad perspective, the tool is aimed at contextualizing information between multi-physics simulations and vaster information constructs such as digital twins. 3D geometries, measurements, simulations, and asset management coexist in such information constructs. This report provides guidance for generating comprehensive, adequate initial conditions of the assets to be used during their life span using a DT basis. From a more specific focus, this deliverable presents a set of exemplary recommendations for developing DT-enabled load tests of assets in the form of a white paper.

description:  In 2023, Network of the National Library of Medicine, Region 7 (NNLM R7) hosted a webinar on the History of the Rochester Study: Literature Discussion. We identified the Rochester Study topic by watching discussions on the Medical Library Association’s Hospital Libraries Caucus listserv. On the listserv, librarians expressed curiosity about this historic research. During the webinar, the chat discussion was lively, creating 16 pages of commentary that was saved, anonymized, and distributed to the registrants and on the Hospital Libraries Caucus listserv. ​In 2024, we will deepen our conversation on this history of medical librarianship by taking three months to read A History of Medical Libraries and Medical Librarianship by Michael and Jennie Kronenfeld. The Moodle course starts in February and closes at the end of April. Participants can choose to join discussion forums and Zoom meetings to share ideas with their peers. This presentation will hit the highlights of the Rochester Study literature discussion. This includes participant remarks about the historic changes in federal requirements, information access, aspects of care as well as commentary on future research directions. The presentation will conclude with a synopsis of the Kronenfeld book, with surprising details about the history of medical librarianship. The NNLM training program had 162 registrants for the History of the Rochester Study: Literature Discussion. Judging from these counts, health sciences librarians are interested in the history of their profession. NNLM supports the work of health sciences librarians and looks forward to providing a learning opportunity for this population.

description: There has been mounting evidence that pretrained language models fine-tuned on large and diverse supervised datasets can transfer well to a variety of out-of-domain tasks. In this work, we investigate this transfer ability to the legal domain. For that, we participated in the legal case entailment task of COLIEE 2021, in which we use such models with no adaptations to the target domain. Our submissions achieved the highest scores, surpassing the second-best team by more than six percentage points. Our experiments confirm a counter-intuitive result in the new paradigm of pretrained language models: given limited labeled data, models with little or no adaptation to the target task can be more robust to changes in the data distribution than models fine-tuned on it.

description: There is no doubt that new technology has become one of the crucial parts of most people's lives around the world. By and large, in this era, the Internet and the Internet of Things (IoT) have become the most indispensable parts of our lives. Recently, IoT technologies have been regarded as the most broadly used tools among other technologies. The tools and the facilities of IoT tech-nologies within the marketplace are part of Industry 4.0. The marketplace is too regarded as a new area that can be used with IoT technologies. One of the main purposes of this paper is to highlight using IoT technologies in Industry 4.0, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is another feature revised. This paper focuses on the value of the IoT in the industrial domain in general; it reviews the IoT and focuses on its benefits and drawbacks, and presents some of the IoT applications, such as in transportation and healthcare. In addition, the trends and facts that are related to the IoT technologies on the marketplace are reviewed. Finally, the role of IoT in telemedicine and healthcare and the benefits of IoT technologies for COVID-19 are presented as well.

description: Nanocomposite materials, consisting of two or more phases, at least one of which has a nanoscale dimension, play a distinctive role in materials science because of the multiple possibilities for tailoring their structural properties and, consequently, their functionalities. In addition to the challenges of controlling the size, size distribution, and volume fraction of nanometer phases, thermodynamic stability conditions limit the choice of constituent materials. This study goes beyond this limitation by showing the possibility of achieving nanocomposites from a bimetallic system, which exhibits complete miscibility under equilibrium conditions. A series of nanocomposite samples with different compositions are synthesized by the co‐deposition of 2000‐atom Ni‐clusters and a flux of Cu‐atoms using a novel cluster ion beam deposition system. The retention of the metastable nanostructure is ascertained from atom probe tomography (APT), magnetometry, and magnetotransport studies. APT confirms the presence of nanoscale regions with ≈100 at% Ni. Magnetometry and magnetotransport studies reveal superparamagnetic behavior and magnetoresistance stemming from the single‐domain ferromagnetic Ni‐clusters embedded in the Cu‐matrix. Essentially, the magnetic properties of the nanocomposites can be tailored by the precise control of the Ni concentration. The initial results offer a promising direction for future research on nanocomposites consisting of fully miscible elements.
Layered controllable video generation

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Advances in deep generative models have led to impressive results in image and video synthesis. However, synthesis of realistic images/videos, without the ability to control the depicted content in them, has limited practical utility. We introduce layered controllable video generation, where we, without any supervision, decompose the initial frame of a video into foreground and background layers, with which the user can control the video generation process by simply manipulating the foreground mask. The key challenges are the unsupervised foreground-background separation, which is ambiguous, and ability to anticipate user manipulations with access to only raw video sequences. We address these challenges by proposing a two-stage learning procedure. In the first stage, with the rich set of losses and dynamic foreground size prior, we learn how to separate the frame into foreground and background layers and, conditioned on these layers, how to generate the next frame using VQ-VAE generator. In the second stage, we fine-tune this network to anticipate edits to the mask, by fitting (parameterized) control to the mask from future frame. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this learning and the more granular control mechanism, while illustrating state-of-the-art performance on two benchmark datasets.

description: This paper presents a learning-based method to improve bi-prediction in video coding. In conventional video coding solutions, the motion compensation of blocks from already decoded reference pictures stands out as the principal tool used to predict the current frame. Especially, the bi-prediction, in which a block is obtained by averaging two different motion-compensated prediction blocks, significantly improves the final temporal prediction accuracy. In this context, we introduce a simple neural network that further improves the blending operation. A complexity balance, both in terms of network size and encoder mode selection, is carried out. Extensive tests on top of the recently standardized VVC codec are performed and show a BD-rate improvement of -1.4% in random access configuration for a network size of fewer than 10k parameters. We also propose a simple CPU-based implementation and direct network quantization to assess the complexity/gains tradeoff in a conventional codec framework.

description: In this chapter, we provide a review of conversational agents (CAs), discussing chatbots, intended for casual conversation with a user, as well as task-oriented agents that generally engage in discussions intended to reach one or several specific goals, often (but not always) within a specific domain. We also consider the concept of embodied conversational agents, briefly reviewing aspects such as character animation and speech processing. The many different approaches for representing dialogue in CAs are discussed in some detail, along with methods for evaluating such agents, emphasizing the important topics of accountability and interpretability. A brief historical overview is given, followed by an extensive overview of various applications, especially in the fields of health and education. We end the chapter by discussing benefits and potential risks regarding the societal impact of current and future CA technology.

Evidence Synthesis Methods to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Complex Public Health Interventions With Multiple Intervention Components
Creators: name: Smith, Ellesha Alice
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the evidence synthesis of public health interventions, several challenges arise due to the heterogeneity of study design, populations and complexity of the interventions, for which standard meta-analysis methods are not always appropriate. Despite this, most public health intervention appraisals are currently based on narrative reviews or pairwise meta-analysis. This thesis explores the development and application of evidence synthesis methodology that addresses the complexity of public health evidence. Component network meta-analysis can estimate the effectiveness of intervention components and combinations of components. In this thesis, component network meta-analysis was extended to incorporate the estimation of covariate-component effects at the individual and study level. In this thesis, a review of NICE public health guidelines explored the use of, and barriers to, evidence synthesis methodology. Application of evidence synthesis methodology, and the extension of standard methods, was demonstrated using two motivating examples in public health: a previous Cochrane review in the prevention of childhood accidents, and a systematic review conducted in this thesis investigating interventions for the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A component taxonomy for the second motivating example was developed based on delivery modality. A series of network and component network meta-analysis models were applied to the motivating examples. The extension of standard methods proposed in this thesis was applied where individual participant data was available. Heterogeneity is a major barrier to the implementation of more advanced statistical methods in public health intervention appraisals. Evidence synthesis methodology and the proposed extended method in this thesis enables the exploration of heterogeneity in terms of intervention components, and covariate associations at the individual and study level, whilst addressing ecological bias. These methods could have implications for improving the intervention evaluation process across the wide-ranging topics in public health by providing more information to decision makers and addressing policy relevant questions.

description: Elemental rhenium exhibiting type-II superconductivity has been previously reported to break time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting state. We have investigated an arc-melted sample of rhenium exhibiting type-I superconductivity. Low temperature zero-field muon-spin relaxation measurements indicate that time-reversal symmetry is preserved in the superconducting state. Muon diffusion is observed, which is due to quantum mechanical tunneling between interstitial sites. The normal state behavior is characterized by the conduction electrons screening the muons and thermal broadening, and is typical for a metal. Energy asymmetries between muon trapping sites and the superconducting energy gap also characterize the superconducting state behavior.

description: Gorillas were once abundant in the forests of Central Africa, playing a fundamental role in the maintenance of ecosystems. Habitat loss, poaching and illegal wildlife trade have led populations to the brink of extinction. Genetic analysis of forensic DNA markers can be used to assess the effects of reduced population sizes and the effectiveness of conservation measures. This study aimed to assess whether cross-species genotyping of forensic DNA markers could provide both individual and sub-species identification. Firstly, massively parallel sequencing (MPS, via Illumina technology) analysis of 27 human orthologous aSTRs (autosomal short tandem repeats, via the Verogen ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep Kit) was applied to 52 individuals (14 chimpanzees; 4 bonobos; 16 western lowland; 6 eastern lowland, and 12 mountain gorillas). Thirteen loci could be genotyped across all individuals, and were individually and sub-species identifying. This showed that allelic diversity and the power to discriminate sub-species were greater when considering STR and flanking sequences rather than allele lengths alone, which are conventionally typed by capillary electrophoresis (CE). When comparing with humans, interruptions within long repeat arrays in African great apes did not appear to reduce allelic diversity, indicating a possible mutational difference to humans. Secondly, portable sequencing technology (via Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd sequencing) was exploited to investigate a panel of about 90 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) designed ad hoc for individual and sub-species identification in gorilla from non-invasive (i.e. poor quality) DNA samples (e.g. hair and faeces). A core set of 42 loci amplified across all individuals (34 western lowland; 6 eastern lowland, and 6 mountain gorillas) and provided both individual and sub-species identification. This approach helps overcome the current lack of well-established research facilities in habitat countries while facilitating genetic research and thus aid gorilla conservation.

Discovery of mid-range novel sequence insertions using long-read sequencing

description: Two decades after the initial sequencing and assembly of the human genome, the current reference assembly is still not sufficiently representative. Although most efforts to enrich our understanding of genomic variations have focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms, recent studies led by the Human Genome Structural Variation Consortium and the Genome in a Bottle Project aim to characterize struc- tural variations. Still, there are genomic sequences missing from assemblies. These sequences, termed novel sequence insertions, need to be discovered to better char- acterize human genome diversity. Furthermore, insertions discovered to date have been shown to harbor coding genes and other functional elements. Studies have proven the link between the existence of these insertions and the emergence of certain diseases. Current methods and tools developed for novel sequence inser- tion discovery suffer from shortcomings such as mapping ambiguity and assembly fragmentation, and especially lag in detecting long insertions. Unlike short-read sequencing, long-read sequencing has a higher basepair error rate, but is less prone to mapping ambiguity due to short repeats. Moreover, they can achieve longer more contiguous segments, resolving common assembly issues. On the other hand, short-reads are almost error-free, therefore could provide better breakpoint prediction at basepair level. Utilizing the complementary characteristics of both technologies, we introduced a novel algorithm RinsLR that discovers mid-range (50bp-10kbp) novel sequence insertions. RinsLR uses short-reads to accurately identify potential novel sequence insertion breakpoints. It then uses long-reads to rebuild and retrieve the inserted sequence. Using simulated experiments and the T2TCHM13 genome, we evaluated RinsLR, compared it against other tools, and showed that RinsLR achieves consistently high precision and recall rates.

description: We study Milner's encoding of the call-by-value $λ$-calculus into the $π$-calculus. We show that, by tuning the encoding to two subcalculi of the $π$-calculus (Internal $π$ and Asynchronous Local $π$), the equivalence on $λ$-terms induced by the encoding coincides with Lassen's eager normalform bisimilarity, extended to handle $η$-equality. As behavioural equivalence in the $π$-calculus we consider contextual equivalence and barbed congruence. We also extend the results to preorders. A crucial technical ingredient in the proofs is the recently-introduced technique of unique solutions of equations, further developed in this paper. In this respect, the paper also intends to be an extended case study on the applicability and expressiveness of the technique.

description: This paper introduces a new efficient autoprecoder (AP) based deep learning approach for massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) downlink systems in which the base station is equipped with a large number of antennas with energy-efficient power amplifiers (PAs) and serves multiple user terminals. We present AP-mMIMO, a new method that jointly eliminates the multiuser interference and compensates the severe nonlinear (NL) PA distortions. Unlike previous works, AP-mMIMO has a low computational complexity, making it suitable for a global energy-efficient system. Specifically, we aim to design the PA-aware precoder and the receive decoder by leveraging the concept of autoprecoder, whereas the end-to-end massive multiuser (MU)-MIMO downlink is designed using a deep neural network (NN). Most importantly, the proposed AP-mMIMO is suited for the varying block fading channel scenario. To deal with such scenarios, we consider a two-stage precoding scheme: 1) a NN-precoder is used to address the PA non-linearities and 2) a linear precoder is used to suppress the multiuser interference. The NN-precoder and the receive decoder are trained off-line and when the channel varies, only the linear precoder changes on-line. This latter is designed by using the widely used zero-forcing precoding scheme or its lowcomplexity version based on matrix polynomials. Numerical simulations show that the proposed AP-mMIMO approach achieves competitive performance with a significantly lower complexity compared to existing literature.

description: Resumo: O objectivo maior deste texto é integrar os media no âmbito da teoria social e nos esforços por para compreender a interacção entre indivíduos, instituições, tecnologias e os seus usos. Começa por situar historicamente o termo “novos media” a partir do quadro mais geral da história recente dos media, com o objetivo de justificar a validade atual do par “novos media". Sustenta a análise a partir de posições/debates já consolidados nos estudos críticos dos media e da sociedade, que dedicaram uma atenção importante ao papel dos media no âmago das sociedades de massa e aos seus desenvolvimentos através das sociedades pós-industriais até aos nossos dias. É a partir daqui que defende, enquanto perceção final, a relação estreita entre a estrutura tecnológica (e a sua ligação aos media) e os seus usos humanos, que definem os novos media como um sistema técnico-social – um sistema inédito, inovador e dinâmico.

Climate Data Analysis

description: We investigate heat waves (HWs) affecting the valley of Grenoble in a future climate. In this study, heat waves are defined as periods of at least 3 consecutive days of daily maximum and minimum temperature exceeding the 92nd historical percentile. This definition has been chosen to select HWs that might impact human health. Even though only the strongest HWs are potentialy harmful, the definition allows to identify a suficient number of events to perform a statistical study. The HWs are characterised by their duration, peak temperature and mean daily maximum temperature. Additionally, each HW is studied per year using a framework measuring heat wave number, duration, participating days, and the peak and mean magnitudes. The HW characteristics are calculated with the results of simulations from the regional climate model MAR. MAR was forced by reanalysis and by a global model for the entire 21st century. The uncertainty of future anthropogenic forcing is taken into account by analysing results for the shared socio-economic pathways SSP2 and SSP5. The simulations are evaluated against in-situ measurements in the past period. MAR captures well daily maximum and minimum temperatures as well as observed HWs. Under future climate conditions, the increase in very hot daily maximum and minimum temperatures is mainly due to the shift rather than the broadening of their probability density functions. Additionally, the HWs become more frequent and have a longer duration, higher peak temperature and mean daily maximum temperature. Finally, a sensitivity analysis to the HW de ning threshold is carried out.
