Year: 2012

description: Poiché, come già sottolineava Gorgia, il riso può essere un’utile arma nelle mani di un abile oratore, l’articolo indaga la presenza del Witz all’interno del Corpus Lysiacum e propone una rassegna di esempi, organizzati e analizzati sulla base dell’artificio retorico utilizzato nella costruzione del motto arguto (in particolare, antitesi, paradosso, iperbole, metafora). Anche in quest’àmbito, trovano conferma l’equilibrio e la misura attici, abitualmente riconosciuti a Lisia.

Paul Ricoeur e il racconto Omnium Temporum in Unum Conlatio
Creators: name: Sarti, Samanta
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: L’inesplicabile funzione sintetica e transitiva dell’immaginazione sta alla base di quel principio di analogia senza il quale non germoglierebbe il fenomeno di innovazione semantica, che è ciò che metafora e racconto hanno in comune a “livello di senso”, ciò che costituisce lo scopo principale d’indagine della filosofia dentro l’enigma della creatività umana. Nel saggio L’immaginazione nel discorso e nell’azione. Per una teoria generale dell’immaginazione, Ricoeur recupera i passaggi aporetici kantiani nel tentativo di riaprire il dibattito sul misterioso, fondamentale intervento dell’immaginazione nell’ambiguo rapporto tra le due forme di conoscenza. Nell’unità linguistica del racconto sta il termine medio tra vissuto temporale e atto narrativo, ma il rapporto di dare e avere del testo, la possibilità di comprendere e far comprendere esperienze, la metamorfosi dal testo all’azione, non avrebbero vita senza quello che Kant chiama “libero gioco dell’immaginazione”. L’immaginazione, suggerisce Ricoeur, è il segreto di una competenza: la capacità di esporci agli effetti della storia liberi di cogliere l’infinità di nessi possibili della temporalità vissuta.

Dante ad Auschwitz: la poetica di Dante nell’opera di Primo Levi
Creators: name: Peron, Sabrina
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: Dei libri di Primo Levi (chimico, saggista, scrittore, testimone), colpisce il tono privo di retorica e di vittimismo che volutamente evita artifici diretti a suscitare nel lettore la commozione. Altresì colpisce la sua chiarezza, attuata con una ricerca di economia linguistica, che porta a una scrittura rapida, snella ed essenziale, affinché «tutti comprendano». Scrittura che ha a che fare con la forma mentis di Levi, scienziato e chimico attento al giusto dosaggio degli elementi e al rigore del trattamento senza fronzoli dei mezzi linguistici. Dietro tale solo apparente semplicità, il dramma personale e storico di Levi è però filtrato, ripensato e rielaborato attraverso grandi modelli culturali e, in particolare, l’opera di Dante. Due sono gli aspetti più generali della poetica dantesca che si ritrovano nell’opera di Primo Levi e in particolare in Se questo è un uomo e, ancora più specificatamente, nel capitolo Il canto di Ulisse. Anzitutto e principalmente il tema dell’inferno, vi è poi il tema del viaggio.

description: We examine the effect of vacancies on the phase behavior and structure of systems consisting of hard cubes using event-driven molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. We find a first-order phase transition between a fluid and a simple cubic crystal phase that is stabilized by a surprisingly large number of vacancies, reaching a net vacancy concentration of ~6.4% near bulk coexistence. Remarkably, we find that vacancies increase the positional order in the system. Finally, we show that the vacancies are delocalized and therefore hard to detect.

description: Recently, M.\ Abért and T.\ Hubai studied the following problem. The chromatic measure of a finite simple graph is defined to be the uniform distribution on its chromatic roots. Abért and Hubai proved that for a Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequence of finite graphs, the chromatic measures converge in holomorphic moments. They also showed that the normalized log of the chromatic polynomial converges to a harmonic real function outside a bounded disc. In this paper we generalize their work to a wide class of graph polynomials, namely, multiplicative graph polynomials of bounded exponential type. A special case of our results is that for any fixed complex number $v_0$ the measures arising from the Tutte polynomial $Z_{G_n}(z,v_0)$ converge in holomorphic moments if the sequence $(G_n)$ of finite graphs is Benjamini--Schramm convergent. This answers a question of Abért and Hubai in the affirmative. Even in the original case of the chromatic polynomial, our proof is considerably simpler.

description: In cavity optomechanics, nanomechanical motion couples to a localized optical mode. The regime of single-photon strong coupling is reached when the optical shift induced by a single phonon becomes comparable to the cavity linewidth. We consider a setup in this regime comprising two optical modes and one mechanical mode. For mechanical frequencies nearly resonant to the optical level splitting, we find the photon-phonon and the photon-photon interactions to be significantly enhanced. In addition to dispersive phonon detection in a novel regime, this offers the prospect of optomechanical photon measurement. We study these QND detection processes using both analytical and numerical approaches.

description: We observe that at the Large Hadron Collider, using forward + central detectors, it becomes possible for the first time to carry out calorimetric measurements of the transverse energy flow due to "minijets" accompanying production of two jets separated by a large rapidity interval. We present parton-shower calculations of energy flow observables in a high-energy factorized Monte Carlo framework, designed to take into account QCD logarithmic corrections both in the large rapidity interval and in the hard transverse momentum. Considering events with a forward and a central jet, we examine the energy flow in the interjet region and in the region away from the jets. We discuss the role of these observables to analyze multiple parton collision effects.

description: The goal of the research was to discover which type of input and instruction best facilitates the acquisition of syntax in adult learners. An artificial miniature language was used to model real second language to control precisely the type of input, conditions of exposure and instruction accompanying that input. Performance of learners under four input conditions was compared and analogies were drawn between these conditions and those experienced by adult second language learners (L2 learners). "Instructed" learners Z): like formally instructed L2 learners were systematically taught the rules of the language. "Exposure" learners saw example sentences and were asked to search for rules, the conditions of their input analogous to that of "naturalistic" L2 learners who receive no formal instruction but who make conscious efforts to search for rules. "Memorisation" learners received the same input as that presented to the exposure learners but were asked to memorise the sentencesT. hey were seena s analogoust o naturalistic L2 learners who do not search for the rules and the conditions of input were modelled on those claimed to induce implicit learning. "Cued" learners received input which contained cross-sentential cues to underlying phrasal structure. They were modelled on naturalistic learners whose input contains such cues and who make efforts to search for rules. Performance was compared on both grammaticality judgement and free production tasks. No overall superiority in performance was observed for any of the input conditions. An interaction between input type and rule complexity was evident in which the amount of information received regarding the rules related positively to performance on. the less salient, more complex rules. It was proposed that the findings could be explained in terms of a "noticing" hypothesis, in which noticing of features is considered a pre-requisite for acquisition. Theories of second and artificial language learning which have stipulated that complex rules can only be learned implicitly were not supported.

description: The homology groups of many natural sequences of groups $\{G_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ (e.g. general linear groups, mapping class groups, etc.) stabilize as $n \rightarrow \infty$. Indeed, there is a well-known machine for proving such results that goes back to early work of Quillen. Church and Farb discovered that many sequences of groups whose homology groups do not stabilize in the classical sense actually stabilize in some sense as representations. They called this phenomena representation stability. We prove that the homology groups of congruence subgroups of $GL_n(R)$ (for almost any reasonable ring $R$) satisfy a strong version of representation stability that we call central stability. The definition of central stability is very different from Church-Farb's definition of representation stability (it is defined via a universal property), but we prove that it implies representation stability. Our main tool is a new machine for proving central stability that is analogous to the classical homological stability machine.

“Change a life. Change your own” : child sponsorship, the discourse of development, and the production of ethical subjects
Creators: name: Ove, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This project explores the practice of child sponsorship and its role in helping construct ethical subjectivities in the North. Employed by organizations like World Vision and Plan International, child sponsorship is one of the most prominent and successful fundraising techniques for development efforts in the global South. Child sponsorship is more than an effective marketing tool, however; it is a powerful apparatus for the conveyance of representations about the global South, the North, and the relationship between the two. Using a discourse analytic approach, this project examines Canadian sponsorship programs, the advertising they produce, and sponsors they attract. This analysis addresses not only the representations contained within sponsorship promotional material but also the contexts in which this material is produced, interpreted, and acted upon. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 31 child sponsors and 18 sponsorship staff, this research explores how sponsorship programs and sponsors are represented – and represent themselves – as trying to “make a difference” in the world, and how these representations relate to contemporary understandings of poverty and development. In the end, it is argued that the success of child sponsorship is not related as much to the way it focuses on the needs of poor children as it is to the way it constructs a vision of ethical action in the work of international development that coincides with the personal development of Northern sponsors, the “natural” bio-psychological development of Southern children, and the organizational development of sponsorship programs. In other words, child sponsorship and its advertizing (re)positions what it means to live ethically in an unequal and unjust world. Through child sponsorship, the desires to become better people(s), secure appropriate childhoods, and raise lots of money end up taking priority over the goal of living together well on a global scale.

Skew monoidales, skew warpings and quantum categories

Subjects: subject: Category Theory (math.CT)

description: Kornel Szlachányi recently used the term skew-monoidal category for a particular laxified version of monoidal category. He showed that bialgebroids $H$ with base ring $R$ could be characterized in terms of skew-monoidal structures on the category of one-sided $R$-modules for which the lax unit was $R$ itself. We define skew monoidales (or skew pseudo-monoids) in any monoidal bicategory $\mathscr M$. These are skew-monoidal categories when $\mathscr M$ is $\mathrm{Cat}$. Our main results are presented at the level of monoidal bicategories. However, a consequence is that quantum categories in the sense of Day-Street with base comonoid $C$ in a suitably complete braided monoidal category $\mathscr V$ are precisely skew monoidales in $\mathrm{Comod} (\mathscr V)$ with unit coming from the counit of $C$. Quantum groupoids are those skew monoidales with invertible associativity constraint. In fact, we provide some very general results connecting opmonoidal monads and skew monoidales. We use a lax version of the concept of warping defined recently by Booker-Street to modify monoidal structures.

Effect of high temperature extrusion conditions on the microstructure of AA3003 aluminum alloy
Creators: name: Grajales, Lina Marcela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The effect of high temperature extrusion conditions on the microstructure of AA3003 aluminum alloys has been investigated. The extrusion trials were conducted using a laboratory scale fully instrumented extrusion press at Rio Tinto Alcan’s Arvida Research and Development Centre (ARDC). Direct Chill (DC) cast billets were homogenized using one of three different treatments (e.g. 8 h at 500°C, 8h at 550°C, and 24 h at 600°C) prior to extrusion. Extrusions were conducted using a range of extrusion temperatures (e.g. 350°C to 500°C), ram speeds (e.g. 2 mm/s to 32 mm/s), and extrusion ratios (e.g. 17:1 ER to 280:1 ER). This provided a full range of as-extruded microstructures from recrystallized to unrecrystallized, with a wide range of final grain sizes. The microstructure of the extrudates was examined using optical microscopy and Electron Backscatter Microscopy (EBSD). The extrudate microstructures have been rationalized in comparison with the processing conditions from the extrusion trails. It was found that the extent of recrystallization is related to the homogenization treatment (i.e. dispersoid number density), and the ram speed (i.e. the temperature profile). It was also found that the ‘unrecrystallized’ deformed grain thickness could be approximated using a simple mass balance approach. The stability of ‘unrecrystallized’ as-extruded samples was investigated in post-extrusion annealing experiments, using a range of temperatures (e.g. 500°C to 550°C) and times (e.g. 10 min. at 550°C). It was found that most of the structures had enough stored energy to recrystallize. In addition, high temperature compression tests were conducted using a Gleeble® 3500 Thermo-mechanical Simulator. These tests were conducted to further investigate the constituent behavior of the aluminum alloy with regards to transient strain rates. Tests were conducted at a temperature of 500°C using a constant strain of 1 s-¹ and 10 s-¹, and transient strain rates. The yield stress, flow stress and work hardening were fit to a physically based flow stress model developed by Kocks and Chen. It was found that the strain rate history had an effect on the flow stress of the material, and that the model could not fully capture the behavior.

However, especially since Grönemeyer does not contradict the old role model, he seems to be credible when he ignores it in his later song «Mensch».

Italy's Public Debt, Finance, and Macro-Usury. A Reckoning: Crimes against Humanity?
Creators: name: Fabrizio Pezzani
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The dynamics of Italy's public debt can be attributed to two factors related to the increased use of current and non-current investment expenditure by politicians in search of short-term consensus, and the frequent use of destabilizing actions related to operations outside debt linked to the malicious use of finance, as demonstrated by the trials initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice since 2015.Until the mid-1970s, public debt was on a virtuous trajectory, fluctuating between 32 and 35% of GDP, a ratio that allows for comparison regardless of changes in the value of currency.Its relative stability was shaken in that decade and increasingly so in the following one. The graphs indicate a surge in debt not due to internal phenomena but to external action arbitrarily imposed by the introduction of the dollar as the sole currency of exchange in international transactions. In 1945 at Bretton Woods, the conditions had been established that made monetary stability possible by linking the printing of paper money to an underlying real value, gold. The reference currency to which other currencies were to be linked was the dollar, which could be printed at a rate of $36 per ounce of gold. Until 1971, monetary stability fostered unprecedented economic development, but from the mid-1960s in the United States, the Vietnam War began to absorb a growing demand for monetary resources, and the student protests undermined the country's internal equilibrium.
Uno spazio tutto per sé. La poetica degli «Ingolstädter Stücke» dal punto di vista di Marieluise Fleißer

The analysis of Fleißer’s “position-takings” in the Ingolstädter Stücke unravels the personal viewpoint from which her aesthetic choices are defined, as well as the “differential signification” of her poetics within the literary field.

We estimate the bispectrum of curvature perturbation induced, and show the dependence of non-Gaussianity on the parameters of model. It is found that our model can have sizable local and equilateral non-Gaussianities to up to ${\cal O}(10^2)$, which is illustrated by an explicit example.

All of the ITE programmes in the FoE have been redesigned to be consistent with a culturally sustaining theoretical framework, Te Waharoa. Our classes are increasingly digital or blended. Meanwhile, the decline in international student numbers as a result of Covid-19 has affected how bilingual and multilingual learners are taught in schools. Translanguaging is a pedagogical tool that enhances the learning of bilingual and multilingual learners. This can be employed both online and face-to-face, in synchronous or asynchronous classes. Translanguaging allows learners to engage their full repertoire of linguistic skills and sets them up for life-long learning regardless of the changing linguistic and educational landscape..

description: It is known that under some assumptions the hitting time in quantum Markov chains is quadratically smaller than the hitting time in classical Markov chains. This work extends this result for decoherent quantum Markov chains. The decoherence is introduced using a percolation-like graph model, which allows us to define a decoherent quantum hitting time and to establish a decoherent-intensity range for which the decoherent quantum hitting time is quadratically smaller than the the classical hitting time. The detection problem under decoherence is also solved with quadratic speedup in this range.

Year: 2012

description: According to Joachim Heinzle, the Nibelungensage represents the «most German among all German issues». The following essay seeks to analyze in how far the German composer Richard Wagner resorts either to a more traditional or to a more innovative representation of the Germanic influences in his libretto The Rhinegold, which is the opening part of his operatic tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelungen. Moving from an epistemological basis, the libretto will be examined with a special focus on how Wagner applies and transforms Germanic mythology in terms of the characters and of deictic references.

description: Microstructures of Cu-rich phases and NbC precipitated phases have been studied in a long time ageing austenitic stainless steel by high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. The interaction difference between the twins and the second phases found to be dependent on the nature of the precipitates. The Cu-rich phases were identified to be twinned at the twin boundary. Nevertheless, the NbC precipitates not only twinned at the twin boundary but also induced the twin boundary bypass them. A particle size dependence of the generation of misfit dislocations also was detected at interface between precipitates and the austenitic matrix.

description: Herbal medicine has played a crucial role in healthcare systems across various cultures for centuries, offering natural alternatives to synthetic drugs. With the increasing awareness of the side effects associated with synthetic formulations, there is a growing interest in herbal-based treatments. Commiphora mukul (Guggul), a medicinal plant used extensively in Ayurveda, has been recognized for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal ointment incorporating Commiphora mukul bark extract, aimed at assessing its potential for wound healing and skin protection.The extract was obtained through Soxhlet and maceration methods using ethanol, methanol, and chloroform as solvents. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, and alkaloids, which contribute to its therapeutic properties. The antioxidant potential of the extract was evaluated using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay, which demonstrated significant radical inhibition, confirming its efficacy as a natural antioxidant.

A herbal ointment was formulated using Jathyadi Thailam and petroleum jelly as the base, incorporating Commiphora mukul extract in 5% and 10% concentrations. The physicochemical properties of the ointment, including pH, spreadability, viscosity, and stability, were evaluated according to standard protocols. Results indicated that the formulated ointment exhibited excellent homogeneity, spreadability, and stability over  months. The pH was within an acceptable range (5.6-6.2), ensuring compatibility with human skin. The findings suggest that the Commiphora mukul-based ointment possesses significant antioxidant potential and favorable physicochemical properties, making it a promising candidate for skin care and wound healing applications. This study highlights the importance of integrating traditional medicinal plants into modern pharmaceutical formulations, promoting the use of natural alternatives for skin-related ailments. Further in vivo studies and clinical trials are recommended to validate the therapeutic efficacy of the formulated herbal ointment

description: Acute acidic stress from sources such as acid rain might impact lake ecosystems in many aspects. Because zooplankton are sensitive to environmental change, they could be a good biotic indicator of acidification effects. We investigated survival and metabolic rates of 3 dominant zooplankton taxa in Lake Biwa, the cladoceran Daphnia pulicaria and the copepods Eodiaptomus japonicus and Cyclopoida spp., when subjected to different pH values (pH 4.0–8.0) at low (10 °C) and high (20 °C) temperatures. Because mortality of D. pulicaria and Cyclopoida spp. exceeded 50% over 24 h of incubation at pH < 4.6, but for E. japonicus at pH < 5.6, E. japonicus may be more vulnerable to acidic stress than the other 2 taxa. This vulnerability to acidification slightly increased at 10 °C for each taxon. Metabolic rates in D. pulicaria remained relatively constant over a wide pH range (4.6–8.0), but those of both copepods decreased at acidic conditions (pH 4.6–7.0). This decrease of metabolic rate might be related to their swimming activity, which decreased in acidic conditions.
Some non-collarable slices of Lagrangian surfaces

description: In this note we define the notion of collarable slices of Lagrangian submanifolds. Those are slices of Lagrangian submanifolds which can be isotoped through Lagrangian submanifolds to a cylinder over a Legendrian embedding near a contact hypersurface. Such a notion arises naturally when studying intersections of Lagrangian submanifolds with contact hypersurfaces. We then give two explicit examples of Lagrangian disks in $\mathbb{C}^2$ transverse to $S^3$ whose slices are non-collarable.

Accretion Disks and Dynamos: Toward a Unified Mean Field Theory

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Conversion of gravitational energy into radiation in accretion discs and the origin of large scale magnetic fields in astrophysical rotators have often been distinct topics of research. In semi-analytic work on both problems it has been useful to presume large scale symmetries, necessarily resulting in mean field theories. MHD turbulence makes the underlying systems locally asymmetric and nonlinear. Synergy between theory and simulations should aim for the development of practical mean field models that capture essential physics and can be used for observational modeling. Mean field dynamo (MFD) theory and alpha-viscosity accretion theory exemplify such ongoing pursuits. 21st century MFD theory has more nonlinear predictive power compared to 20th century MFD theory, whereas accretion theory is still in a 20th century state. In fact, insights from MFD theory are applicable to accretion theory and the two are artificially separated pieces of what should be a single theory. I discuss pieces of progress that provide clues toward a unified theory. A key concept is that large scale magnetic fields can be sustained via local or global magnetic helicity fluxes or via relaxation of small scale magnetic fluctuations, without the kinetic helicity driver of 20th century textbooks. These concepts may help explain the formation of large scale fields that supply non-local angular momentum transport via coronae and jets in a unified theory of accretion and dynamos. In diagnosing the role of helicities and helicity fluxes in disk simulations, each disk hemisphere should be studied separately to avoid being misled by cancelation that occurs as a result of reflection asymmetry. The fraction of helical field energy in disks is expected to be small compared to the total field in each hemisphere as a result of shear, but can still be essential for large scale dynamo action.

Pseudo-compliance or Convergence? Content teachers work together to learn about language.

description: Pseudo-compliance or Convergence? Content teachers work together to learn about language. Many secondary teachers in New Zealand have undertaken professional learning and development (PLD) during their teaching career as educational leaders recognise that English language learners (ELLs) require specific academic support if they are to achieve academic success. This paper reports cases from a small-scale PLD project conducted over one year at an urban senior secondary school in New Zealand. This school prepared international ELLs for entry to a New Zealand university. The subject teacher participants volunteered to participate in the PLD which focussed on working with a colleague to identify the linguistic demands of their subjects, and develop pedagogies that fitted research evidence about teaching ELLs and their existing pedagogical subject knowledge. This paper reviews three contrasting cases where the subject-specific teacher partnerships responded differently to the PLD and working with their PLD partner/s. The PLD sessions with language facilitators were conducted remotely through audio-recorded Zoom meetings. Data also included co-constructed lesson plans and notes from participants’ observations of one another’s lessons. A thematic analysis suggests that this PLD was considered successful by the participants when the facilitators acknowledged the teachers’ pedagogical subject expertise, and when the teachers were willing to position themselves as learners. However, some teachers were unable to adapt their existing professional identity. This paper reinterprets the findings by adapting Davison’s (2006) conceptual framework for mapping collaboration between content and ESL teachers. Two layers of collaboration emerged. The first mapped collaboration between the facilitator and the participants which revealed evidence of creative co-construction. The second layer of collaboration between the teacher-participants suggested that even pairs accustomed to teaching together remained at a pseudo-compliance level during the language PLD. The study suggests that these teachers’ professional learning relationships were complicated by engaging with a discipline outside their subject epistemology. This has implications for PLD requiring teacher collaboration. This paper reports findings from a PLD project where facilitators supported content teachers to explore the language of their discipline, and incorporate pedagogies supporting ELLs. Davison’s (2006) conceptual framework revealed partnerships ranging from creative co-construction to pseudo-compliance. Teachers’ PLD relationships were complicated by engaging with a discipline outside their subject.
