description: Upcoming and ongoing large area weak lensing surveys will also discover large samples of galaxy clusters. Accurate and precise masses of galaxy clusters are of major importance for cosmology, for example, in establishing well calibrated observational halo mass functions for comparison with cosmological predictions. We investigate the level of statistical uncertainties and sources of systematic errors expected for weak lensing mass estimates. Future surveys that will cover large areas on the sky, such as Euclid or LSST and to lesser extent DES, will provide the largest weak lensing cluster samples with the lowest level of statistical noise regarding ensembles of galaxy clusters. However, the expected low level of statistical uncertainties requires us to scrutinize various sources of systematic errors. In particular, we investigate the bias due to cluster member galaxies which are erroneously treated as background source galaxies due to wrongly assigned photometric redshifts. We find that this effect is significant when referring to stacks of galaxy clusters. Finally, we study the bias due to miscentring, i.e., the displacement between any observationally defined cluster centre and the true minimum of its gravitational potential. The impact of this bias might be significant with respect to the statistical uncertainties. However, complementary future missions such as eROSITA will allow us to define stringent priors on miscentring parameters which will mitigate this bias significantly.

description: The ageing process and the considerable longevity need constant care work, attentive to the possibilities and weaknesses of each subject. In Italy, the promotion of home-care, as a way of greater well-being for the elderly and his/her family, has generated new family models and migration processes. There are new educational challenges in transnational urban spaces and in multicultural contexts. This intertwining of families and generations outlines new social dynamics of inclusion and exclusion and requires the development of processes of awareness and support paths towards an “across the border” Welfare. Social policies, in close connection with economic and educational ones, must take in consideration the plurality and interdependence generated by global complexity and identify new viable ways to support the ageing . In our contribution, we will examine the connections between the elderly, families and migrant careworkers, analysing the ways of communication and interaction of transnational families.

description: We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) Cycle-0 observations of the CO J = 6-5 line in the advanced galaxy merger Arp 220. This line traces warm molecular gas, which dominates the total CO luminosity. The CO emission from the two nuclei is well resolved by the 0.39" x 0.22" beam and the exceptional sensitivity and spatial/spectral resolution reveal new complex features in the morphology and kinematics of the warm gas. The line profiles are asymmetric between the red and blue sides of the nuclear disks and the peak of the line emission is offset from the peak of the continuum emission in both nuclei by about 100 pc in the same direction. CO self-absorption is detected at the centers of both nuclei but it is much deeper in the eastern nucleus. We also clearly detect strong, highly redshifted CO absorption located near the southwest side of each nucleus. For the eastern nucleus, we reproduce the major line profile features with a simple kinematic model of a highly turbulent, rotating disk with a substantial line center optical depth and a large gradient in the excitation temperature. The red/blue asymmetries and line-to-continuum offset are likely produced by absorption of the blue (SW) sides of the two nuclei by blue-shifted, foreground molecular gas; the mass of the absorber is comparable to the nuclear warm gas mass (10^8 M_solar). We measure an unusually high L_CO/L_FIR ratio in the eastern nucleus, suggesting there is an additional energy source, such as mechanical energy from shocks, present in this nucleus.

description: Family and school are not the only educational agencies in daily life of new generations. In this paper, we argue that the city itself can be regarded as well as a great educational agency where an extraordinarily important formative experience takes place. This paper is aimed at exploring the experience of urban space as one of the main components of the process of growth and integration of children of immigrants. This is an experience which takes place in relationships in between indoors (home and school) outdoors (urban context and digital world) spaces, and in between different codes and meanings. This perspective of research aims to investigate the role of urban and digital settings in encouraging or discouraging social integration processes in Italy. The Authors have analysed it through qualitative researches, in between educational studies and urban policies.

 REMARKS: Gracilaria vermiculophylla is a highly invasive species. Within the last 20 years, G. vermiculophylla has been introduced in the Eastern Pacific and Eastern and Western North Atlantic on numerous occasions by the shipping and import of Japanese oysters to North America and Europe (Bellorin et al. 2004; Rueness 2005; Thomsen et al. 2006; Freshwater et al. 2006; Saunders 2009; Kim et al. 2010; Piñón-Gimate et al. 2012), or possibly as a component of seaweed/seagrass mixture used as commercial soil conditioner (Abreu et al. 2011). The success of G. vermiculophylla as an invasive species and known habitat modifier have raised ecological and environmental concerns (Wallentinus & Nyberg 2007; Williams & Smith 2007).

description: Urban studies have lately taken into account the “vertical” dimension along with the “horizontal”. But now, with massive advances in mobile digital technologies, especially in the leisure-activities field, it is time to take a closer look at this new dimension in urban space. Based on the findings of a qualitative study of digital strategies institutionally deployed at the level of a town, this article brings out the links between diverse spaces – physical and virtual, material and dematerialized – detailing the use of digital technologies by social and educational institutions. It appears that digital practices generate new forms of professional strategies aimed at the young and their parents. Educational spaces now include digital spaces and have an added ‘reticular’ dimension too.

description: The search for non-Newtonian forces has been pursued following many different paths. Recently it was suggested that hypothetical chameleon interactions, which might explain the mechanisms behind dark energy, could be detected in a high-precision force measurement. In such an experiment, interactions between parallel plates kept at constant separation could be measured as a function of the pressure of an ambient gas, thereby identifying chameleon interactions by their unique inverse dependence on the local mass density. During the past years we have been developing a new kind of setup complying with the high requirements of the proposed experiment. In this article we present the first and most important part of this setup -- the force sensor. We discuss its design, fabrication, and characterization. From the results of the latter we derive limits on chameleon interaction parameters that could be set by the forthcoming experiment. Finally, we describe the opportunity to use the same setup to measure Casimir forces at large surface separations with unprecedented accuracy, thereby potentially giving unambiguous answers to long standing open questions.
title: Performance Limits of THz Dispersive Spectroscopes Employing Super-Resolution Imaging

description: The performance of terahertz (THz) dispersive spectroscopes is limited in spectral resolution and frequency accuracy due to a finite pixel count. This paper demonstrates that increasing the synthetic effective pixel count by exploiting super-resolution (SR) imaging results in improved performance. To this end, we investigated the performance of a CMOS camera-based THz dispersive spectroscope using SR imaging. From 0.75–0.9 THz, average spectral resolution improved from 76 GHz to 34.2 GHz (about a factor of two), while the average frequency accuracy enhanced from 30 GHz to 1.65 GHz. Further to providing enhanced spectral resolution and frequency accuracy, our results provide an insight into the fundamental performance limits. For low-resolution (LR) imaging, the finite pixel count sets the spectral resolution limit, and for SR imaging, the camera angular resolution defines the limiting factor. For this reason, SR imaging generally improves the spectral resolution at least by a factor of two. Pixel count and noise fluctuation limit the frequency accuracy using LR and SR imaging, respectively.

description: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has expanded to include the management of post-surgical complications, where early detection and timely intervention are critical to patient recovery. Post-surgical complications such as infections, bleeding, thromboembolic events, and delayed wound healing are common causes of morbidity and mortality. AI technologies, through predictive analytics, real-time monitoring, and adaptive learning, offer a transformative approach to recognizing and managing these complications more efficiently than traditional methods. This paper explores the current landscape of AI applications in postoperative care, focusing on how machine learning algorithms, wearable technology, and integrated data platforms contribute to enhanced patient outcomes. It also addresses the challenges involved, including data privacy, integration with clinical workflows, and algorithmic bias, while outlining the future potential of AI to create safer and more efficient postoperative recovery environments.

description: Non-intentionally doped c-plane GaN layers are generally employed as p-side waveguide layers in violet/blue-emitting laser diodes. The recombination and diffusion of charge carriers in the p-side GaN waveguide influence the injection efficiency of holes into the InGaN quantum wells of these devices. In this study, the non-radiative recombination and the diffusivity in the [000-1] direction for charge carriers in such GaN layers are investigated by the photoluminescence of buried InGaN quantum wells, in addition to the GaN photoluminescence. The vertical charge carrier diffusion length and the diffusion constant in GaN were determined by evaluating the intensity from InGaN quantum wells in different depths below a top GaN layer. Additionally, the intensity from the buried InGaN quantum wells was found to be more sensitive to variations in the non-radiative recombination rate in the GaN layer than the intensity from the GaN itself. The study enables conclusions to be drawn on how the growth of a p-side GaN waveguide layer has to be optimized: (1) The charge carrier diffusivity in the [000-1] direction at device operation temperature is limited by phonon scattering and can be only slightly improved by material quality. (2) The use of TMGa (trimethylgallium) instead of TEGa (triethylgallium) as a precursor for the growth of GaN lowers the background silicon doping level and is advantageous for a large hole diffusion length. (3) Small growth rates below 0.5 μm/h when using TMGa or below 0.12 μm/h when using TEGa enhance non-radiative recombination. (4) A V/III gas ratio of 2200 or more is needed for low non-radiative recombination rates in GaN.

description: Experimental techniques with emphasis in centrifuge testing were implemented to characterize the swelling behavior of expansive clays. This research consisted in three self-contained sections related to the study of different aspects of expansive clays. The first research component focused on the implementation of a qualitative mineralogy analysis performed using x-ray diffraction to determine the main clay minerals in an expansive soil. The analysis was performed on the clay-sized fraction of the soil and samples with preferential and random orientation were used in the analysis. Vacuum filtration was used to produce oriented samples in order to maximize the intensity of the diagnostic basal spacing of the clay minerals, and samples were subjected to different treatments to produce changes in the basal spacing or crystalline structure of the clay minerals to facilitate their identification. The second research component examined the effect of the coarse fraction on the swelling characteristics of expansive soils using a centrifuge-based approach. Vertical strains at the end of primary swelling were evaluated for different proportions of coarse fraction by volume. It was found that the magnitude of vertical strains at the end of primary swelling decreased with increasing coarse fraction. It was concluded that the swelling depended uniquely on the ratio between the volume of soil solids of the fine fraction and the volume of voids. Additionally, when correcting the initial void ratio of the specimens to account for this, the relationship between vertical strains at the end of primary swelling and initial void ratio for the soil mixtures defines a unique linear trend with the baseline material. The third research component examined the potential vertical rise at three field sites in Central Texas. Method 6048-A was applied to evaluate the PVR of three field sites using direct measurements of the swelling characteristics of soils sampled at each location. Project-specific data was generated in a relatively short time using this centrifuge-based method. The results obtained demonstrated the need for testing of project-specific samples, as a significant variation in PVR was observed in Site 2 and 3 between boring locations, while less variation between borings was found in Site 1

description: Thermoelectric (TE) technology enables the efficient conversion of waste heat generated in homes, transport, and industry into promptly accessible electrical energy. Such technology is thus finding increasing applications given the focus on alternative sources of energy. However, the synthesis of TE materials relies on costly and scarce elements, which are also environmentally damaging to extract. Moreover, spent TE modules lead to a waste of resources and cause severe pollution. To address these issues, many laboratory studies have explored the synthesis of TE materials using wastes and the recovery of scarce elements from spent modules, e.g., utilization of Si slurry as starting materials, development of biodegradable TE papers, and bacterial recovery and recycling of tellurium from spent TE modules. Yet, the outcomes of such work have not triggered sustainable industrial practices to the extent needed. This paper provides a systematic overview of the state of the art with a view to uncovering the opportunities and challenges for expanded application. Based on this overview, it explores a framework for synthesizing TE materials from waste sources with efficiencies comparable to those made from raw materials.

description: The original results of experimental investigations concerning the reduction of the seismic vulnerability of masonry vaults through Composite Reinforced Mortar CRM are presented in the paper. The transversal performances of full scale, masonry barrel vault samples, i.e. running bond pattern vaults and brick in folio vaults, carrying their own weight and reinforced at the extrados or at the intrados are investigated through cyclic tests. The connection of the reinforced vaults with the masonry abutment is particularly considered and discussed, due to the importance of this detail to avoid uplift and slip at the skewback sections and better exploit the CRM benefits. The experimental behavior of the vault samples is described and analyzed in terms of global behavior, crack pattern and load displacement curves, also in comparison with the unreinforced configurations. The CRM allowed significant improvements in both vaults strength and displacement capacities, as contrasted the cracks opening and foster the spreading of cracks all along the vault. Considerable performances emerged also in terms of dissipative capacities, with a mean damping value of about 0.13 in the post cracking configuration. The vault-to-wall connection, based on embedded steel and composite bars, resulted essential for avoiding dangerous vault sliding at skewback sections, that may reduce the vault performances and also cause the fall from the support.

description: This work proposes deuteronated PAH (DPAH+ ) molecules as a potential carrier of the 4.4 and 4.65 μm mid infrared emission bands that have been observationally detected towards the Orion and M17 regions. Density Functional Theory calculations have been carried out on DPAH+ molecules to see the variations in the spectral behaviour from that of a pure PAH. DPAH+ molecules show features that arise due to the stretching of the aliphatic C-D bond. Deuterated PAHs have been previously reported as carriers for such features. However, preferred conditions of ionization of PAHs in the interstellar medium (ISM) indicates the possibility of the formation of DPAH+ molecules. Comparison of band positions of DPAH+ s shows reasonable agreement with the observations. We report the effect of size of the DPAH+ molecules on band positions and intensities. This study also reports a D/H ratio ([D/H]sc ; the ratio of C-D stretch and C-H stretch bands per [D/H]num ) that is decreasing with the increasing size of DPAH+ s. It is noted that large DPAH+ molecules (no. of C atoms ~ 50) match the D/H ratio that has been estimated from observations. This ratio offers prospects to study the deuterium abundance and depletion in the ISM.

description: Biomarker in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treatment are rare. We aimed to compare the clinical value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) as biomarker in mCRPC patients undergoing androgen receptor-targeted agent (ARTA) treatment. Overall cohort (65 patients) was stratified regarding either CTC or AR-V7 status followed by further sub-stratification of the respective other marker. Subsequently, prostate specific antigen (PSA) response, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS)) of subgroups was compared. CTCs and AR-V7 were detected in 54 (83%) and 33 (61%) patients, respectively. All AR-V7 + were CTC +. We detected PSA response in all subgroups. For PFS and OS, biomarker stratification revealed differences between all subgroups. Interestingly, no significant differences of AR-V7 transcript copy numbers were detected between responding and non-responding patients. Additionally, multivariable analysis revealed no independent prognostic value of AR-V7 positivity. Both biomarkers show clinical value in prognosticating clinical outcome. Nonetheless, AR-V7 stratification underestimates the heterogenous subgroup of CTC − and CTC + patient, the latter requiring more intense clinical surveillance. Additionally, AR-V7 level does not correlate with clinical response. Thus, the value of AR-V7 as a clinical biomarker must be considered skeptically.

description: Motivated by experiments, we undertake an investigation of electronic structure reconstruction and its link to electrodynamic responses of monoclinic MoO2. Using a combination of LDA band structure with DMFT for the subspace defined by the physically most relevant Mo 4d-bands, we unearth the importance of multi-orbital electron interactions to MoO2 parent compound. Supported by a microscopic description of quantum capacity we identify the implications of many-particle orbital reconstruction to understanding and evaluating voltage-capacity profiles intrinsic to MoO2 battery material. Therein, we underline the importance of the dielectric function and optical conductivity in the characterisation of existing and candidate battery materials.

description: Η παρούσα πτυχιακή/διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται τις αρχειακές εργασίες που χρειάζεται να πραγματοποιηθούν για να ολοκληρωθεί η επεξεργασία ενός αρχείου. Συγκεκριμένα, αφορά τις διαδικασίες πρόσκτησης, της ταξινόμησης, της περιγραφής και της ευρετηρίασης του συμβολαιογραφικού αρχείου του συμβολαιογράφου Νικολάου Ξ. Σακελλίωνος. Σκοπός είναι μέσα από την περιγραφή των λειτουργιών, των εργασιών της πρόσκτησης, της αποδελτίωσης, της ταξινόμησης, της περιγραφής και της ευρετηρίασης, να παρουσιάσω την καθημερινότητα και τις δυσκολίες που καλείται να αντιμετωπίσει ένας αρχειονόμος. Ταυτόχρονα, προσδοκώ να επισημανθεί η σημασία των συμβολαιογραφικών αρχείων και η σημασία και συνεισφορά των Γενικών Αρχείων του Κράτους (Γ.Α.Κ.), όχι μόνο στην επιστημονική/ερευνητική κοινότητα, αλλά και στην κοινωνία εν όλω. Για το λόγο αυτό, διεξήχθη βιβλιογραφική έρευνα, στην οποία καταδεικνύονται και αποσαφηνίζονται οι βασικές έννοιες και αρχές της αρχειονομίας, αναδεικνύονται οι ομοιότητες και οι διαφορές σε ό, τι αφορά το συμβολαιογραφικό θεσμό καθώς και τους κανόνες που διέπουν τα συμβολαιογραφικά αρχεία τόσο στην Ελλάδα, όσο και στο εξωτερικό, με σκοπό να διαπιστωθούν οι συνθήκες που επικρατούν, οι πρακτικές που εφαρμόζονται και κυρίως τα προβλήματα που ανακύπτουν. Παρατηρήθηκε έλλειψη μελετών στον τομέα των εγχώριων συμβολαιογραφικών αρχείων, κάτι το οποίο αποτέλεσε τη βάση για τη συγκεκριμένη εργασία. Επιπρόσθετα, είναι επιθυμητό να εξεταστεί, κατά πόσο οι διεθνείς αρχειονομικοί κανόνες και πρότυπα είναι εφαρμόσιμα και αποτελεσματικά στο περιβάλλον ενός ελληνικού αρχειακού φορέα, πάνω σε ένα συμβολαιογραφικό αρχείο, και αν μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν από μία άπειρη, εν δυνάμει αρχειονόμο που αναλαμβάνει την επεξεργασία ενός αρχείου. Συνοψίζοντας, σκοπός είναι να καταδειχθούν οι διαδικασίες που ακολουθούνται κατά τη διάρκεια της επεξεργασίας ενός αρχείου, να συγκριθούν τα ξένα και τα ελληνικά αρχεία καθώς και να συγκριθεί η αρχειακή θεωρία με την πραγματικότητα.

description: Half-Heusler (HH) compounds are among the most promising thermoelectric (TE) materials for large-scale applications due to their superior properties such as high power factor, excellent mechanical and thermal reliability, and non-toxicity. Their only drawback is the remaining-high lattice thermal conductivity. Various mechanisms were reported with claimed effectiveness to enhance the phonon scattering of HH compounds including grain-boundary scattering, phase separation, and electron–phonon interaction. In this work, however, we show that point-defect scattering has been the dominant mechanism for phonon scattering other than the intrinsic phonon–phonon interaction for ZrCoSb and possibly many other HH compounds. Induced by the charge-compensation effect, the formation of Co/4d Frenkel point defects is responsible for the drastic reduction of lattice thermal conductivity in ZrCoSb1−xSnx. Our work systematically depicts the phonon scattering profile of HH compounds and illuminates subsequent material optimizations.
Analytical model for non-thermal pressure in galaxy clusters - III. Removing the hydrostatic mass bias

description: Non-thermal pressure in galaxy clusters leads to underestimation of the mass of galaxy clusters based on hydrostatic equilibrium with thermal gas pressure. This occurs even for dynamically relaxed clusters that are used for calibrating the mass-observable scaling relations. We show that the analytical model for non-thermal pressure developed in Shi & Komatsu 2014 can correct for this so-called 'hydrostatic mass bias', if most of the non-thermal pressure comes from bulk and turbulent motions of gas in the intracluster medium. Our correction works for the sample average irrespective of the mass estimation method, or the dynamical state of the clusters. This makes it possible to correct for the bias in the hydrostatic mass estimates from X-ray surface brightness and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations that will be available for clusters in a wide range of redshifts and dynamical states.

description: We obtain tilings with a singular point by applying conformal maps on regular tilings of the Euclidean plane, and determine its symmetries. The resulting tilings are then symmetrically colored by applying the same conformal maps on colorings of regular tilings arising from sublattice colorings of the centers of its tiles. In addition, we determine conditions so that the coloring of a tiling with singularity that is obtained in this manner is perfect.

description: Der Erwerb von Kompetenzen naturwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisgewinnung und des Wissenschaftlichen Denkens ist ein zentrales Bildungsziel des naturwissenschaftlichen Unterrichts. Zur Förderung wird das Forschende Lernen empfohlen, jedoch bedarf dieses Unterrichtsprinzip der adäquaten Unterstützung durch die Lehrkraft. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Studie zur Überprüfung der Wirksamkeit von diskursiv-reflexiven Szenarien (Concept Cartoons) im Rahmen des Forschenden Lernens vorgestellt. Es zeigt sich, dass das Forschende Lernen mit Concept Cartoons im Vergleich zu einer Vergleichsgruppe ohne diese Lernunterstützung zu größeren Lernzuwächsen im Wissenschaftlichen Denken, dem Methodenwissen und dem Fachwissen führt. Außerdem kann die kognitive Belastung durch Verwendung der Concept Cartoons reduziert werden.

Efficient calculation methods for the diffusion coefficient of interstitial solutes in dilute alloys

description: In the example of oxygen diffusion in dilute ferritic iron alloys it is shown that the calculation of the diffusion coefficient can be separated into a contribution related to the migration in the interaction region between oxygen and the substitutional solute and a part related to diffusion in pure body centered cubic (bcc) Fe. The corresponding diffusion times are determined by analytical expressions using Density-Functional-Theory (DFT) data for the respective binding energies. The diffusion coefficient in the interaction region must be determined by atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo (AKMC) simulations with DFT values for the migration barriers as input data. In contrast to previous calculations, AKMC simulation must only be performed for one concentration of the substitutional solute, and the obtained results can be employed to obtain data for other concentrations in a very efficient manner. This leads to a tremendous decrease of computational efforts. Under certain conditions it is even possible to use analytical expressions where merely DFT data for the binding energies are needed. The limits of applicability of the presented calculation procedures are discussed in detail. The methods presented in this work can be generalized to interstitial diffusion in other host materials with small concentrations of substitutional solutes.

description: We describe a normal form for a smooth intersection of two quadrics in even-dimensional projective space over an arbitrary field of characteristic 2. We use this to obtain a description of the automorphism group of such a variety. As an application, we show that every quartic del Pezzo surface over a perfect field of characteristic 2 has a canonical rational point and, thus, is unirational.

description: Having children or not is one of the most important decisions that a person will make in his or her lifetime. The Reproductive Life Plan (RLP) is a protocol that aims to encourage both women and men to reflect on their reproductive intentions and to find strategies for successful family planning, for example to have the wanted number of children and to avoid unwanted pregnancies as well as ill-health that may threaten reproduction. The RLP was developed in an American context for promotion of reproductive health in a life cycle perspective. Few studies have systematically evaluated the effectiveness of using an RLP protocol in clinical practice. This article describes the application of using the RLP protocol in contraceptive counselling in Sweden.
Il progetto Insieme: perché una ricerca sui Centri per bambini e famiglie?
Creators: name: Musatti, Tullia
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Educazione Familiare
Year: 2016

description: At more than a quarter of century from the first creation of Centri per bambini e famiglie in Italy, they seem to be increasingly secluded within a peripheral area of the ECEC world and their objectives and goals are no more discussed. This article describes the rationale and methodology of the research project Insieme, which was aimed at verify the actual presence of CBF in Italy and analyse their nature and functions. The project, promoted by ISTC-CNR and carried out in collaboration with Qua_Si/UniversiScuola, University of Milano-Bicocca, was composed by two studies: a survey on the distribution and functioning of CBF across Italian regions and a study based on a qualitative data collection (observations in the services and interviews to CBF professionals) in a sample of services. Some of the main issues raised by the study are presented and discussed with particular concern to the relationship of CBF to the other ECEC services.
