description: Vernacular settlements present a high degree of flexibility and a good capacity of adaptation to the environmental, social, economic and cultural conditions of the contexts in which they develop. The “VerSus. Lessons from Vernacular Heritage to Sustainable Architecture” research project, financed within the European Culture 2007-2013 project, is aimed at the codification of the lessons of environmental, socio-economic and socio-cultural lessons derived from the vernacular heritage, with the purpose of establishing strategies, solutions and good practices that may be adapted and used in an innovative way in the recovery of historical centres and in the design and planning of an appropriate and resilient architecture capable of responding to the requirements of contemporary life.

Subjects: raw sequence reads
Multispecies

description: The Orange-Vaal smallmouth yellowfish (Labeobarbus aeneus) and Orange-Vaal largemouth yellowfish (L. kimberleyensis) occur in sympatry for much of their distribution. The two species are different behaviourally, ecologically and morphologically. Despite these differences there have been several reports of potential hybridization events, particularly in man-made environments such as dams. However, previous attempts to determine whether hybridization is occurring between these species using morphology, allozymes and mitochondrial DNA were inconclusive. In this study we sequence samples from both species to resolve whether hybridization is occurring between these species, and simultaneously make use of these data to investigate the applicability of mining mitochondrial signal from NGS data.

description: The evaporation of Primordial Black Hole (PBH) via Hawking radiation influences the evolution of Inter Galactic Medium by heating up the latter and consequently affects the 21cm signal originated from the neutral Hydrogen atoms. In this work, we have considered EDGES observational data of 21cm line corresponding to cosmic dawn era to constrain the mass and the abundance of PBHs. In this context, two different PBH mass distributions namely, power law and lognormal mass distributions are considered to estimate the effects of PBH evaporation on the 21cm brightness temperature $T_{21}$. In addition to these two mass distributions, different monochromatic masses are also considered. The impacts of Dark Matter - baryon interactions on $T_{21}$ are also considered in this work along with the influences of PBH evaporation. Furthermore, adopting different monochromatic masses for PBHs, an attempt has been made to formulate a distribution for PBH masses by associating a probability weightage of the $T_{21}$ values (at $z \sim 17.2$), within the range given by EDGES experiment, with the calculated $T_{21}$ values for each of the PBH mass values. The distribution best suited for the present purpose is found to be a combination of an error function and Owen function. Allowed contours in the parameter space of (initial PBH mass-dark matter mass) are obtained.

description: For decades, searches for electroweak-scale dark matter (DM) have been performed without a definitive detection. This lack of success may hint that DM searches have focused on the wrong mass range. A proposed candidate beyond the canonical parameter space is ultra-heavy DM (UHDM). In this work, we consider indirect UHDM annihilation searches for masses between 30 TeV and 30 PeV, extending well beyond the unitarity limit at $\sim$100 TeV, and discuss the basic requirements for DM models in this regime. We explore the feasibility of detecting the annihilation signature, and the expected reach for UHDM with current and future Very-High-Energy (VHE; $>$ 100 GeV) $\gamma$-ray observatories. Specifically, we focus on three reference instruments: two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope arrays, modeled on VERITAS and CTA-North, and one Extended Air Shower array, motivated by HAWC. With reasonable assumptions on the instrument response functions and background rate, we find a set of UHDM parameters (mass and cross section) for which a $\gamma$-ray signature can be detected by the aforementioned observatories. We further compute the expected upper limits for each experiment. With realistic exposure times, the three instruments can probe DM across a wide mass range. At the lower end, it can still have a point-like cross section, while at higher masses the DM could have a geometric cross section, indicative of compositeness.

description: Mirrors are ubiquitous in optics and are used to control the propagation of optical signals in space. Here we propose and demonstrate frequency domain mirrors that provide reflections of the optical energy in a frequency synthetic dimension, using electro-optic modulation. First, we theoretically explore the concept of frequency mirrors with the investigation of propagation loss, and reflectivity in the frequency domain. Next, we explore the mirror formed through polarization mode-splitting in a thin-film lithium niobate micro-resonator. By exciting the Bloch waves of the synthetic frequency crystal with different wave vectors, we show various states formed by the interference between forward propagating and reflected waves. Finally, we expand on this idea, and generate tunable frequency mirrors as well as demonstrate trapped states formed by these mirrors using coupled lithium niobate micro-resonators. The ability to control the flow of light in the frequency domain could enable a wide range of applications, including the study of random walks, boson sampling, frequency comb sources, optical computation, and topological photonics. Furthermore, demonstration of optical elements such as cavities, lasers, and photonic crystals in the frequency domain, may be possible.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are expanding in popularity for broad applications to challenging tasks in chemistry and materials science. Examples include the prediction of properties, the discovery of new reaction pathways, or the design of new molecules. The machine needs to read and write fluently in a chemical language for each of these tasks. Strings are a common tool to represent molecular graphs, and the most popular molecular string representation, SMILES, has powered cheminformatics since the late 1980s. However, in the context of AI and ML in chemistry, SMILES has several shortcomings -- most pertinently, most combinations of symbols lead to invalid results with no valid chemical interpretation. To overcome this issue, a new language for molecules was introduced in 2020 that guarantees 100\% robustness: SELFIES (SELF-referencIng Embedded Strings). SELFIES has since simplified and enabled numerous new applications in chemistry. In this manuscript, we look to the future and discuss molecular string representations, along with their respective opportunities and challenges. We propose 16 concrete Future Projects for robust molecular representations. These involve the extension toward new chemical domains, exciting questions at the interface of AI and robust languages and interpretability for both humans and machines. We hope that these proposals will inspire several follow-up works exploiting the full potential of molecular string representations for the future of AI in chemistry and materials science.

description: The Italian public housing building stock is considerable, although quantitatively less than that of other European countries,. The public policies adopted in the last decades have pushed the supply of housing by the private sector and supported the sale of the assets by the public housing authorities. Those buildings are often degraded and obsolete. Nevertheless, the issue of redevelopment of this part of the residential building stock is a central focus, also because of its important social role, especially in the current period of crisis. One of the recurring factors in the Italian case is the low quality of this building stock due to the lack of an organic maintenance activity. The paper reports the first results of a research carried out by the Department of Architecture and Design in cooperation with a social housing public authority, the Regional Agency for the Central Piedmont House (ATC). The goal of the research was the development of methodologies for estimating and analysis of maintenance requirements. Moreover, the study suggests and develops a forecasting tool for the planning of maintenance operations and redevelopment of the large building estates.

description: Euastrum bicudoi G.J.P.Ramos & C.W.N.Moura, sp. nov. (Figs 40–42)
Cells somewhat longer than wide; semicells trapeziform with concave margins between the lobes; median constriction deep, with sinus open; apical incision open, V-shaped; basal lobes ornamented with 1 long spine, polar lobes with 4 spines, unequal, 2 long on the margin, divergent, 2 short in the apical incision, convergent; cell wall with a pronounced central protuberance, circular; chloroplast with one pyrenoid per semicell. Zygospores not observed. Cell dimensions: length 25–26 μm, width 20–22.5 μm, apical lobe 10–11 μm, isthmus 5–5.5 μm.
 Holotype: material numbered (HUEFS 244149!) deposited at Herbário da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, population illustrated here in LM (Figs 40–42).
 Etymology: The epithet is given in honor of Brazilian desmidiologist Dr. Carlos Eduardo de Mattos Bicudo for his invaluable contribution to knowledge of desmids in American continent, especially in Brazil.
 Type locality and habitat characteristics: Collected at “Barragem do Dragão” Piatã, Bahia state, Brazil. Lat. 13° 05’ 48” S, Long. 41° 51’ 02” W. Sample collected by G. J. P. Ramos, C. W. N. Moura, F. M. Costa and M. A. Santos s/n (HUEFS 244149) on 13 July 2017. Euastrum bicudoi occurred in periphyton; water temperature 21ºC, pH 7.8, conductivity 10 μS. cm-1, dissolved oxygen 9.2 mg.L- 1.
 Notes: The presence of elongated spines is the most notable feature of this species, which was considered rare in the study area. We have analyzed approximately 30 specimens, and all of the cells presented the same morphological pattern with considerably elongated spines on both the polar and lateral lobes.
 Morphologically, Euastrum bicudoi resembles Euastrum cuspidatum var. goyazense (Kurt Först. & F.Eckert) Kurt Först. (1969: 31), although the latter differs mainly by having 2–3 short spines on the lobes instead long spines. This morphotype is apparently typical of the tropical region of Brazil, since other similar taxa (e.g., Euastrum arciferum Borge [1918: 59] and Euastrum subtile Borge [1918: 58]) were also described from material collected in the states of Bahia, Goiás, and Rio de Janeiro.

description: This paper aims at carrying out termination proofs for simply typed higher-order calculi automatically by using ordering comparisons. To this end, we introduce the computability path ordering (CPO), a recursive relation on terms obtained by lifting a precedence on function symbols. A first version, core CPO, is essentially obtained from the higher-order recursive path ordering (HORPO) by eliminating type checks from some recursive calls and by incorporating the treatment of bound variables as in the com-putability closure. The well-foundedness proof shows that core CPO captures the essence of computability arguments á la Tait and Girard, therefore explaining its name. We further show that no further type check can be eliminated from its recursive calls without loosing well-foundedness, but for one for which we found no counterexample yet. Two extensions of core CPO are then introduced which allow one to consider: the first, higher-order inductive types; the second, a precedence in which some function symbols are smaller than application and abstraction.

description: Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinn. is a quantitative long-day plants and native to grasslands from southern North America to northern South America and very popular as an ornamental cut flower crop. However, in regions limited exposure of sunshine during winter, retardation of plant growth and flowering of Eustoma plants for shipments in winter and spring is serious problems. Eustoma plants treated with Far-red (FR) light of only 3 hours at the end of the day (EOD) during winter seasons showed a longer main stem compared with untreated plants. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of leaf in Eustoma plants treated and untreated with EOD-FR.

description: Elongated magnetic polarities are observed during the emergence phase of bipolar active regions (ARs). These extended features, called magnetic tongues, are interpreted as a consequence of the azimuthal component of the magnetic flux in the toroidal flux-tubes that form ARs. We develop a new systematic and user-independent method to identify AR tongues. Our method is based on determining and analyzing the evolution of the AR main polarity inversion line (PIL). The effect of the tongues is quantified by measuring the acute angle [ tau] between the orientation of the PIL and the direction orthogonal to the AR main bipolar axis. We apply a simple model to simulate the emergence of a bipolar AR. This model lets us interpret the effect of magnetic tongues on parameters that characterize ARs ( e.g. the PIL inclination and the tilt angles, and their evolution). In this idealized kinematic emergence model, tau is a monotonically increasing function of the twist and has the same sign as the magnetic helicity. We systematically apply our procedure to a set of bipolar ARs that were observed emerging in line-of-sight magnetograms over eight years. For most of the cases studied, the tongues only have a small influence on the AR tilt angle since tongues have a much lower magnetic flux than the more concentrated main polarities. From the observed evolution of tau, corrected for the temporal evolution of the tilt angle and its final value when the AR is fully emerged, we estimate the average number of turns in the subphotospherically emerging flux-rope. These values for the 41 observed ARs are below unity, except for one. This indicates that subphotospheric flux-ropes typically have a low amount of twist, i.e. highly twisted flux-tubes are rare. Our results demonstrate that the evolution of the PIL is a robust indicator of the presence of tongues and constrains the amount of twist in emerging flux-tubes

description: The fast-growing, market-driven demand for cryptocurrencies worries central banks, as their monetary policy could be completely undermined. Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could offer a solution, yet our understanding of their design and consequences is in its infancy. This non-technical paper examines how The Bahamas has designed the Sand Dollar, the first real-world instance of a retail CBDC. It contrasts the Sand Dollar with definition-based specifications. I then develop a scenario analysis to illustrate commercial bank risks. In this process, the central bank becomes a deposit monopolist, leading to high funding risks, disintermediation risks, and solvency risks for the com-mercial banking sector. I argue that restrictions and caps will be the new specifications of a regulatory framework for CBDCs if disintermediation in the banking sector is to be prevented. I identify the anonymity of CBDCs as a comparative disadvantage that will affect their adoption. These findings provide insight into governance problems facing central banks, and coherently lead to the design of the Sand Dollar. I conclude by suggesting that combating cryptocurrencies is a task that cannot be solved by a CBDC.

description: The European historic city centres are currently experiencing innovative approaches for rehabilitation of urban spaces afflicted by social and physical decay. The revitalization challenges are a consequence of the integration of contemporary technologies and solutions to achieve new requirements and of the impacts of socio-economic dynamics. Understanding and boosting the drivers connected to the cultural potential of the historic city centres can play an important role in adaptive re-use. This paper focuses on the synergy between cultural heritage and urban development, cultural heritage preservation and local economic growth, proposing adaptive reuse design practices applied in historic city centre, through the adoption of a multi-criteria methodology for heritage-led regeneration.

We show that the method converges strongly with a rate $O(Δt^{\frac12}) $. By means of a perturbation argument, we also establish the strong convergence of the standard backward Euler scheme with the same rate.

description: We describe and discuss the low-temperature resistivity (and the temperature-dependent inelastic scattering rate) of several different doped 2D semiconductor systems from the perspective of the Planckian hypothesis asserting that $\hbar/τ=k_\mathrm{B}T$ provides a scattering bound, where $τ$ is the appropriate relaxation time. The regime of transport considered here is well-below the Bloch-Gruneisen regime so that phonon scattering is negligible. The temperature-dependent part of the resistivity is almost linear-in-$T$ down to arbitrarily low temperatures, with the linearity arising from an interplay between screening and disorder, connected with carrier scattering from impurity-induced Friedel oscillations. The temperature dependence disappears if the Coulomb interaction between electrons is suppressed. The temperature coefficient of the resistivity is enhanced at lower densities, enabling a detailed study of the Planckian behavior both as a function of the materials system and carrier density. Although the precise Planckian bound never holds, we find somewhat surprisingly that the bound seems to apply approximately with the scattering rate never exceeding $k_\mathrm{B} T$ by more than an order of magnitude either in the experiment or in the theory. In addition, we calculate the temperature-dependent electron-electron inelastic scattering rate by obtaining the temperature-dependent self-energy arising from Coulomb interaction, also finding it to obey the Planckian bound within an order of magnitude at all densities and temperatures. We introduce the concept of a generalized Planckian bound where $\hbar/τ$ is bounded by $αk_\mathrm{B} T$ with $α\sim 10$ or so in the super-Planckian regime with the strict Planckian bound of $α$=1 being a nongeneric finetuned situation.

Involvement of Men in Family Planning in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Creators: name: Chetry,Narayan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Family Planning (FP) and reproductive health services have been a global concern especially in developing countries where fertility rates are high. Traditionally, FP services had always targeted females with little or no attention given to males. In low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), FP and maternal and child health (MCH) services do not actively engage male partners or husbands. Lack of male involvement in pregnancy related care is one of the major causes of
maternal mortality in LMICs. This is a review study and the comprehensive search databases used are PubMed, Google Scholar, Global Health to retrieve relevant article. A total of 25 relevant article conducted in LMICs were included. Most studies state various
challenges/barriers, benefits and opportunities related to involvement of men in FP and MCH services. This review paper explores the benefits, challenges, risk and approaches to increasing men`s engagement in FP and identifies areas for education and interventions. The paper
specifically aims to investigate the involvement of men in FP and maternal health outcomes in LMICs and finally provide recommendation to engage men more effectively. Further, the review provides the scope for further research of male involvement in FP and MCH in LMICs.

description: We perform a comprehensive analysis of a number of scalar field theories in a attempt to find analytically 5-dimensional, localised-on-the-brane, black-hole solutions. Extending a previous analysis, we assume a generalised Vaidya ansatz for the 5-dimensional metric tensor that allows for time-dependence, non-trivial profile of the mass function in terms of the bulk coordinate and a deviation from the over-restricting Schwarzschild-type solution on the brane. In order to support such a solution, we study a variety of theories including single or multiple scalar fields, with canonical or non-canonical kinetic terms, minimally or non-minimally coupled to gravity. We demonstrate that for such a metric ansatz and for a carefully chosen, non-isotropic in 5 dimensions, energy-momentum tensor, solutions that have the form of a Schwarzschild-(Anti)de Sitter or Reissner-Nordstrom type of solution do emerge, however, the resulting profile of the mass-function along the bulk coordinate, when allowed, is not the correct one to eliminate the bulk singularities.

description: Dismissed architectures and urban voids are often considered revitalization chances for the cities. At the same time they are an urban problem, tied to structural crisis and social decay. The research take on the relationship between the safeguard of historical industrial buildings and new needs in terms of eco-compatibility, global cost and energy. Through the results of an application of life cycle design, the paper aims at demonstrating the importance of tools for the analysis supporting strategical evaluations for the sustainable planning of urban renewal through the reclamation of dismissed industrial sites.

description: Quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is a widely used building block for quantum algorithms, whose scalable implementation is challenging in experiments. Here, we propose a protocol of quadratic quantum Fourier transform (QQFT), considering cold atoms confined in an optical lattice. This QQFT is equivalent to QFT in the single-particle subspace, and produces a different unitary operation in the entire Hilbert space. We show this QQFT protocol can be implemented using programmable laser potential with the digital-micromirror-device techniques recently developed in the experiments. The QQFT protocol enables programmable Hamiltonian engineering, and allows quantum simulations of Hamiltonian models, which are difficult to realize with conventional approaches. The flexibility of our approach is demonstrated by performing quantum simulations of one-dimensional Poincaré crystal physics and two-dimensional topological flat bands, where the QQFT protocol effectively generates the required long-range tunnelings despite the locality of the cold atom system. We find the discrete Poincaré symmetry and topological properties in the two examples respectively have robustness against a certain degree of noise that is potentially existent in the experimental realization. We expect this approach would open up wide opportunities for optical lattice based programmable quantum simulations.

Year: 2016

description: Located close to some of the most important historical areas of Bergamo, the nineteenth-century section of the former Montelungo-Colleoni barracks is set up as a strategic context to merge the old built environment with the more modern settlements. The report relates the challenge undertaken by a project of urban regeneration based on a functional mixité of high social, cultural and economic value. This starting from the results of the International Competition promoted in order to find the right balance between conservation and transformative actions, in the belief that the process and project aspects can play a central role in providing innovative responses to the recurring critical issues that arise in the complex transformations and in identifying effective forms of dialogue between institutions and stakeholders.

The Formation of the Galactic Bar and Spiral Arms in a Stellar Disc in Cylindrical Coordinates
Creators: name: Boyu Xue
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: To understand the gas dynamics in barred spiral galaxies, the potentials of the galactic bars and spiral arms must be modeled in a physical way. Past simulations (Sormani et al. 2015, 2018) did a detailed analysis of gas flows with galactic components as external static potentials. However, the external static potential model is not perfect since the star distribution could evolve due to its interaction either with itself or the gas components. The goal of this project is to implement a live gravitational potential by solving the Boltzmann moment equations and the self-gravity of the stars. The previous simulation by Mitchell et al. (2012) has been done in cartesian coordinates but boxy structures and spurious spiral arms are observed, which is believed to be caused by running a cylindrical problem in a cartesian grid. To improve it, I run this problem with cylindrical coordinates. The Boltzmann moment equations were solved by the collisionless solver implemented in Athena. The self-gravity was obtained by the logarithmic spiral solver introduced by Kalnajs (1971). I generate a stellar disc configuration that is similar to the configuration in Mitchell et al (2012). The difference is believed to be caused by different choices of grid setup. The disc is unstable at r < 2000 pc according to Toomre’s stability criteria. Spiral arms and the center bar formations are observed in the unstable region in my simulation. Boxy structures and spurious spiral arms are not observed in my simulation. However, the center bar and spiral arms get destroyed soon because of star evacuation around the center, which is believed to be caused by the limitations of the logarithmic spirals solver.
Synergetic Temporary Use for the Enhancement of Historic Centers: The Pilot Project for the Naples Waterfront

description: The paper reports the results of a phase of the research Project “Urban Eco-efficiency,” developed by the Architecture Department at the University of Naples Federico II, in collaboration with the regional section of the CeNSU. The thesis is the efficiency of incremental processes through temporary installations and uses in order to insert in historic centers innovative architectures and functions that are aimed at eco-efficient transformations. The experimentation conducted through the program for the enhancement of the historic Naples waterfront, in which the research group participated, allowed us to verify the thesis, in areas where the temporary dimension and bottom-up processes that typically characterize it are adequately coordinated in a unitary plan, with a sensitive de-escalation of the infighting, both institutional and between stakeholders.

description: The analysis of gravitational wave (GW) datasets is based on the comparison of measured time series with theoretical templates of the detector's response to a variety of source parameters. For LISA, the main scientific observables will be the so-called time-delay interferometry (TDI) combinations, which suppress the otherwise overwhelming laser noise. Computing the TDI response to GW involves projecting the GW polarizations onto the LISA constellation arms, and then combining projections delayed by a multiple of the light propagation time along the arms. Both computations are difficult to perform efficiently for generic LISA orbits and GW signals. Various approximations are currently used in practice, e.g., assuming constant and equal armlengths, which yields analytical TDI expressions. In this article, we present 'fastlisaresponse', a new efficient GPU-accelerated code that implements the generic TDI response to GWs in the time domain. We use it to characterize the parameter-estimation bias incurred by analyzing loud Galactic-binary signals using the equal-armlength approximation. We conclude that equal-armlength parameter-estimation codes should be upgraded to the generic response if they are to achieve optimal accuracy for high (but reasonable) SNR sources within the actual LISA data.

What are cultural places of memory? - Memory, place and the cultural memory according to Aleida and Jan Assmann

description: The study of places of memory is an expanding field in international geography, in which the concept of cultural memory by Aleida and Jan Assmann, which has its origins in German-language cultural studies, has received little attention. However, in a concentration of the concept on the specific concerns of a cultural-geographical study of places of memory lies the possibility – especially as an important intellectual style of German Theory – to explicitly ask about the mechanisms of origin and function of places of memory. The basic assumption of the concept is that cultural memory functions as a medial storehouse of experiences from the past. Based on the assumption that places of memory cannot be a storage, but only an anchor of memories, the article develops a space-oriented conception of cultural memory spaces derived from the basic features of cultural memory. The following four characteristics are elaborated: Cultural memory spaces are (1) dynamic and (2) present-related (3) supports of memory, (4) in which individual memories intertwine with cultural memory.

description: The rapid obsolescence of healthcare facilities and the lack of suitable areas to host these services in urban contexts, are forcing their locations outside cities and historical centres. The complexity and variety of crucial aspects, involved in the smooth functioning of healthcare facilities, require, in the longterm, planning decisions supported by appropriate evaluation tools. Starting from the investigation of hospital location trends in Europe and Italy, the analysis of European case studies and a deep systematic review of the literature, the paper aims to define a set of criteria focused on the design of location strategies for new healthcare facilities.

description: In this work we investigate the entropic information-measure in the context of braneworlds with non-constant curvature. The braneworld entropic information is studied for gravity modified by the squared of the Ricci scalar, besides the usual Einstein-Hilbert term. We showed that the minimum value of the brane configurational entropy provides a stricter bound on the parameter that is responsible for the $F(R)$ model to differ from the Einstein-Hilbert standard one. Our results are moreover consistent to a negative bulk cosmological constant.
