Oltre la frontiera: lo sguardo della geografia sul cinema
Creators: name: Maggioli, Marco
Publisher: name: Semestrale di studi e ricerche di geografia
Year: 2017

description: The work aims to highlight the importance of cinema and audiovisual
media as a source of dynamic geographical investigation. The use
of audiovisual media is discussed in Italian geography since the second
half of the 1940’s especially for educational purposes. A whole new
thought is developed from the 70’s when the issue will be addressed as
part of the magazine Hérodote, in order to use cinema as a source of
geographical analysis. City, environment, landscapes, travel, and border
issues are now increasingly present in the various national film industries.
Can geography use these different “points of view” for a reflection
on the concept of representation?

Cet article met en évidence l’importance de l’utilization du cinéma
dans la quête des études du territoire.
L’opportunité de l’utilisation du cinéma et de l’audiovisuel en géographie
est discutée en Italie avec des finalités essentiellement didactique
a partir de la seconde moitié des années Quarante du XX ème
siécle. Une réflexion tout-a-fait nouvelle ce développ à partir des années
Soixante-dix, et est mise en exergue par la revue Herodote, dans
l’optique de son utilisation en tant que source d’analyse des etudes du territoire, des villes, de l’environnement, des paysages, des voyages,
des frontières, et ce sont aujourd’hui les sujets les plus abordés par les
differentes cinématographies nationales.
La géographie peut-elle utiliser ce different “point de vue” pour generer
une reflexion sur le concept de représentation?

description: Although lattice gases composed by $k$NN particles, forbidding up to their $k$th nearest neighbors of being occupied, have been widely investigated in literature, the location and the universality class of the fluid-columnar transition in the 2NN model on the square lattice is still a topic of debate. Here, we present grand-canonical solutions of this model on Husimi lattices built with diagonal square lattices, with $2L(L+1)$ sites, for $L \leqslant 7$. The systematic sequence of mean-field solutions confirms the existence of a continuous transition in this system and extrapolations of the critical chemical potential $μ_{2,c}(L)$ and particle density $ρ_{2,c}(L)$ to $L \rightarrow \infty$ yield estimates of these quantities in close agreement with previous results for the 2NN model on the square lattice. To confirm the reliability of this approach we employ it also for the 1NN model, where very accurate estimates for the critical parameters $μ_{1,c}$ and $ρ_{1,c}$ -- for the fluid-solid transition in this model on the square lattice -- are found from extrapolations of data for $L \leqslant 6$. The non-classical critical exponents for these transitions are investigated through the coherent anomaly method (CAM), which in the 1NN case yields $β$ and $ν$ differing by at most 6\% from the expected Ising exponents. For the 2NN model, the CAM analysis is somewhat inconclusive, because the exponents sensibly depend on the value of $μ_{2,c}$ used to calculate them. Notwithstanding, our results suggest that $β$ and $ν$ are considerably larger than the Ashkin-Teller exponents reported in numerical studies of the 2NN system.

description: The monomer-dimer model is fundamental in statistical mechanics. However, it is $#P$-complete in computation, even for two dimensional problems. A formulation in matrix permanent for the partition function of the monomer-dimer model is proposed in this paper, by transforming the number of all matchings of a bipartite graph into the number of perfect matchings of an extended bipartite graph, which can be given by a matrix permanent. Sequential importance sampling algorithm is applied to compute the permanents. For two-dimensional lattice with periodic condition, we obtain $ 0.6627\pm0.0002$, where the exact value is $h_2=0.662798972834$. For three-dimensional lattice with periodic condition, our numerical result is $ 0.7847\pm0.0014$, {which agrees with the best known bound $0.7653 \leq h_3 \leq 0.7862$.}

In this review, we examine what kinds of molecules can be laser cooled, how to design a suitable cooling scheme, and how the cooling can be understood and modelled. We review recent work on laser slowing, magneto-optical trapping, sub-Doppler cooling, and the confinement of molecules in conservative traps, with a focus on the fundamental principles of each technique. Finally, we explore some of the exciting applications of laser-cooled molecules that should be accessible in the near term.

description: The AIIG and the SGI joined to the UNESCO Week of Education for
Sustainable Development initiative “Waste: reduction and recycling”,
held in Italy in the week from November 10th to 16th 2008 and promoted
by the Italian National Commission of UNESCO, to support the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). AIIG and SGI took part in that initiative by organizing the conference “Waste responsible management. A challenge for the sustainability
of territory”. This theme is a topical subject of territorial and environmental management: in a framework of incessant growth of resource
consumption, probably no one territorial community is in safety.
The conference showed that the problem is not (only) a management
or technical challenge, but an environmental education is need
for all the components of society (schoolchildren and adults, but also
members of the public administration) in order to accomplish a social
shared objective of waste prevention. This issue could be also a challenge
for geography, which could have a significant role in better analyzing
the different territorial contexts, to promote participated and
shared solutions, towards a sustainable and long-term waste and resources
policy, in which every part of society takes a responsible role.

description: The damage spreading method (DS) provided a useful tool to obtain analytical results of the thermodynamics and stability of the 2D Ising model --amongst many others--, but it suffered both from ambiguities in its results and from large computational costs. In this paper we propose an alternative method, the so called self-overlap method, based on the study of correlation functions measured at subsequent time steps as the system evolves towards its equilibrium. Applying markovian and mean field approximations to a 2D Ising system we obtain both analytical and numerical results on the thermodynamics that agree with the expected behavior. We also provide some analytical results on the stability of the system. Since only a single replica of the system needs to be studied, this method would seem to be free from the ambiguities that afflicted DS. It also seems to be numerically more efficient and analytically simpler.

description: We have performed for the first time direct laser spectroscopy of the 1S0-3P0 optical clock transition at 265.6 nm in fermionic isotopes of neutral mercury laser-cooled in a magneto-optical trap. Spectroscopy is performed by measuring the depletion of the magneto-optical trap induced by the excitation of the long-lived 3P0 state by a probe at 265.6 nm. Measurements resolve the Doppler-free recoil doublet allowing for a determination of the transition frequency to an uncer- tainty well below the Doppler-broadened linewidth. We have performed absolute measurement of the frequency with respect to an ultra-stable reference monitored by LNE-SYRTE fountain pri- mary frequency standards using a femtosecond laser frequency comb. The measured frequency is 1128575290808 +/- 5.6 kHz in 199Hg and 1128569561140 +/- 5.3 kHz in 201Hg, more than 4 orders of magnitude better than previous indirect determinations. Owing to a low sensitivity to blackbody radiation, mercury is a promising candidate for reaching the ultimate performance of optical lattice clocks.

di una straordinaria capacità comunicativa e di coinvolgimento.
Studiando l’umanizzazione del territorio, ha dichiarato Gino De Vecchis,
coordinatore del corso, la geografia deve interessarsi di tutti quei
fenomeni che possono causare modificazioni a livello socio-economico
e urbanistico-organizzativo; di conseguenza, il calcio e i grandi eventi,
che determinano mutamenti territoriali e che generano notevoli indotti,
vanno studiati con un approccio rigoroso e interdisciplinare.

Public sector restraint and the social services : the case of the voluntary sector provision of personal social services in British Columbia
Creators: name: Butcher, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Restraint by government in the area of social service spending in the 1980's has become an issue of grave concern for social service practitioners, planners, and administrators . The emergence in North America of neo-conservative economic policies has engendered a body of critical and provocative literature which examines the effects of "restraint economics." The neo-conservative construction of a "post welfare State," propelled by economic crises, has involved a redefinition by the State of its mandate for the redistribution of the "public wage." The "privatisation" of services through reduction or cancellation of programs, the increasing use of contracted services, and through deinstitutionalisation and deregulation may obviate the redistributive aims of the welfare State and create instead a basis for more pervasive social and geographical inequity. The voluntary sector (non-government) human services have been challenged to "fill the gaps" left by government cutbacks, often in the face of declining levels of government support for that sector. It is the intent of this thesis to address the political economy of social services policy in British Columbia through an examination of the relationship between the Provincial government and the voluntary sector. This policy critique uses the voluntary sector as a window onto the political, economic and ideological agenda of the British Columbia government with special emphasis on social and economic legislation during the period 1983-1985. It will be argued that both the ideological bases and the social impacts of B.C.'s restraint legislation are reflections of neo-conservative challenges to the collecti-vistic principles of the welfare State observed in the United States and Great Britain. The thesis will proceed through two principal avenues: 1) a discussion of the teleology of neo-conservativism and its relationship to social and economic policy in B.C.. This section will provide the context against which the remainder of the thesis will be cast; and, 2) a detailed discussion of the nature of the voluntary sector and a comparison of the effects of public sector restraint upon voluntaristic social services in the United States and British Columbia. The latter will be accomplished through the juxtaposition of a sizeable literature on the effects of restraint in the U.S. with the findings of a province-wide questionnaire survey of voluntary agencies conducted by the author in January 1985. It is posited that social and economic policy in B.C. is a Canadian manifestation of the anti-welfare-statism implicit in Reaganomics of the U.S. and Thatchernomics of the U.K. On the basis of theoretical and empirical reflections on the effects of ideologically-informed restraint measures, the author will conclude by assessing the future prospects for Canadian social policy.

description: In this work we present NJOY+NCrystal, a tool to generate thermal neutron scattering libraries with support for coherent and incoherent elastic components for crystalline solid materials. This tool, which is a customized version of NJOY, was created by modifying the nuclear data processing program NJOY to call the thermal scattering software library NCrystal, and includes a proposed change in the ENDF-6 format to store both the coherent and incoherent elastic components. Necessary changes to enable this format in NJOY, as well as to sample it in the OpenMC Monte Carlo code, are detailed here. Examples of materials that are coherent-dominant, incoherent-dominant, and mixed elastic scatterers are presented, as well as the creation of novel libraries for MgH$_2$ and MgD$_2$, that are under consideration as advanced neutron reflectors in the HighNESS project at the European Spallation Source. NJOY+NCrystal simplifies greatly the process to generate thermal scattering libraries (TSL) and this is exemplified with 213 new and updated TSL evaluations.

description: We propose a systematic analysis of deep neural networks (DNNs) based on a signal processing technique for network parameter removal, in the form of synaptic filters that identifies the fragility, robustness and antifragility characteristics of DNN parameters. Our proposed analysis investigates if the DNN performance is impacted negatively, invariantly, or positively on both clean and adversarially perturbed test datasets when the DNN undergoes synaptic filtering. We define three \textit{filtering scores} for quantifying the fragility, robustness and antifragility characteristics of DNN parameters based on the performances for (i) clean dataset, (ii) adversarial dataset, and (iii) the difference in performances of clean and adversarial datasets. We validate the proposed systematic analysis on ResNet-18, ResNet-50, SqueezeNet-v1.1 and ShuffleNet V2 x1.0 network architectures for MNIST, CIFAR10 and Tiny ImageNet datasets. The filtering scores, for a given network architecture, identify network parameters that are invariant in characteristics across different datasets over learning epochs. Vice-versa, for a given dataset, the filtering scores identify the parameters that are invariant in characteristics across different network architectures. We show that our synaptic filtering method improves the test accuracy of ResNet and ShuffleNet models on adversarial datasets when only the robust and antifragile parameters are selectively retrained at any given epoch, thus demonstrating applications of the proposed strategy in improving model robustness.

description: Background:
Work participation is considered to be important for an individual’s health and quality of life. In adults with Tourette syndrome (TS) still little is known about what impacts occupational status and quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate employment status and quality of life in a sample of adults with TS.

Methods:
An anonymous questionnaire survey was performed among adults with TS. Eligible for the study were adult members of the Norwegian Tourette Association with a diagnosis of TS. Tic severity was measured with a subset of items from the GTS-QOL (Cavanna et al, 2008). QoL and current health were measured with two items from the WHOQOL-BREF, respectively. Logistic and linear regression analyses were preformed to identify variables associated with better outcome.

Results and Conclusions:
The sample consisted of 78 adults with TS of whom 45% were females. Mean age of participants was 39.3±13.7 years (20-80 yrs) with no significant difference on gender. Mean age for TS diagnosis was 23.1±13.8 years (6-61 yrs). Women were significantly older when diagnosed with TS compared to men (27±14.4 vs 19.3±12.2 years; p=.01). Overall, 41% of the sample had completed college/university. Almost 60% of participants were living together with a partner (married or cohabited). The current employment rate was 71%. Experience of unemployment over a period of at least six months was reported by 35% of the sample. Mean tic severity score was 8.1±5.9 (0-28). Tic severity was found negatively correlated to current health and QOL. Those employed reported significantly better current health (3.5±0.9 vs 2.7±1.2; p=.008) and QOL (3.9±8.0 vs 3.1±1.1, p=.003) compared to the unemployed group. When adjusted for gender, age and significant variables, regression analyses revealed that current health (p=.02) and time for TS diagnosis (p=.04) were associated with occupational status. Current health (p≤.001) was associated with better QOL.
 In this study on adults with TS we found a relatively high employment rate. Self-reported tic severity was moderate. Women were significantly older when diagnosed with TS. Current health was associated with employment and QOL. The impact of occupational status on QoL has to be investigated further.

description: Il GIS svolge la sua funzione abilitante grazie alle due caratteristiche primarie di essere tecnologia e linguaggio.
Tecnologia: capace di supportare i paradigmi della Società della Conoscenza
in termini di condivisione e riuso.
Linguaggio: adatto ad essere la koinh di una nuova cultura dell’informazione geografica.
La tecnologia continua ad essere un forte fattore di cambiamento.
Lo sviluppo delle tecnologie dell’informazione in Rete e la convergenza con le tecnologie spaziali di Telerilevamento e di Posizionamento hanno portato nuovi attori a giocare un ruolo nel teatro dell’informazione geografica.

description: Ricordo con piacere come, verso la metà degli anni ’80, la nostra Università sia stata la prima a entrare nella discussione della cartografia numerica applicata alla conoscenza del mondo classico e alla progettazione dell’attuale attraverso la precisa localizzazione dei documenti antichi. Finiva, cioè, con quegli anni, l’annosa querelle che attribuiva alle carte archeologiche una funzione prettamente di ricostruzione storica senza riconoscerne l’importanza ai fini delle nuove progettazioni.

description: During the planning phase of industrial robot workplaces, hazard analyses are required so that potential hazards for human workers can be identified and appropriate safety measures can be implemented. Existing hazard analysis methods use human reasoning, checklists and/or abstract system models, which limit the level of detail. We propose a new approach that frames hazard analysis as a search problem in a dynamic simulation environment. Our goal is to identify workplace hazards by searching for simulation sequences that result in hazardous situations. We solve this search problem by placing virtual humans into workplace simulation models. These virtual humans act in an adversarial manner: They learn to provoke unsafe situations, and thereby uncover workplace hazards. Although this approach cannot replace a thorough hazard analysis, it can help uncover hazards that otherwise may have been overlooked, especially in early development stages. Thus, it helps to prevent costly re-designs at later development stages. For validation, we performed hazard analyses in six different example scenarios that reflect typical industrial robot workplaces.

description: Effective knowledge organization is a vital aspect of library operations, as it streamlines the process of information discovery and retrieval for library users. This paper delves into the roles that taxonomies and ontologies play in knowledge organization within libraries, highlighting how these two tools can work in tandem to establish an efficient and effective system of knowledge organization. The primary aim of this paper is to explore the potential advantages and limitations of using taxonomies and ontologies and to investigate their application in constructing a semantic web tailored to libraries. Furthermore, this paper examines the synergies between taxonomies and ontologies, while also considering prospective developments in their utilization for knowledge organization in library settings. By conducting a comprehensive analysis, this paper successfully achieves its objectives, shedding light on the collaborative use of taxonomies and ontologies to enhance the knowledge organization process and their potential for future development.
Instantons and Wormholes for the Universal Hypermultiplet

description: In this paper we present supersymmetric instanton and non-supersymmetric wormhole solutions for the universal hypermultiplet sector of $d=4$ N=2 supergravity theories. Instantons and wormholes are constructed as saddle points dominating transition amplitudes between states of definite axionic shift charge, using an approach due to Coleman and Lee. Our solutions are constructed in terms of the conserved Noether charges associated with the global SU(2,1) symmetry of the universal hypermultiplet action. The conditions imposed by regularity on the charges are discussed.

description: An exact cubic open string field theory rolling tachyon solution was recently found by Kiermaier et. al. and Schnabl. This oscillatory solution has been argued to be related by a field redefinition to the simple exponential rolling tachyon deformation of boundary conformal theory. In the latter approach, the disk partition function takes a simple form. Out of curiosity, we compute the disk partition function for an oscillatory tachyon profile, and find that the result is nevertheless almost the same.

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We present a statistical readout method for quantum interferences based on time series analysis of consecutive single electron transfers through a double quantum dot Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. Waiting time distributions qualitatively indicate the presence of interferences and provide information on orbital-detuning and coherent interdot-electron transfer. Interdot transfer induced oscillations are Aharonov-Bohm phase sensitive, while those due to level detuning are phase-independent. The signature of the quantum interference in the waiting time distribution is more apparent for weakly coupled electron transfer detectors.

description: Over the last years, the generation and acceleration of ultra-short, high quality electron beams has attracted more and more interest in accelerator science. Electron bunches with these properties are necessary to operate and test novel diagnostics and advanced high gradient accelerating schemes such as plasma accelerators or dielectric laser accelerators. Furthermore, several medical and industrial applications require high-brightness electron beams. The dedicated R&D facility ARES at DESY will provide such probe beams in the upcoming years. After the setup of the normal-conducting RF photoinjector and linear accelerating structures, ARES successfully started the beam commissioning of the RF gun. This paper gives an overview of the ARES photoinjector setup and summarizes the results of the gun commissioning process. The quality of the first generated electron beams is characterized in terms of charge, momentum, momentum spread and beam size. Additionally, the dependencies of the beam parameters on RF settings are investigated. All measurement results of the characterized beams fulfill the requirements to operate the ARES linac with this RF photoinjector.
Impact of thermo-optical effects in coherently-combined multicore fiber amplifiers

description: In this work we analyze the power scaling potential of amplifying multicore fibers (MCFs) used in coherently-combined systems. In particular, in this study we exemplarily consider rod-type MCFs with 2x2 up to 10x10 Ytterbium doped cores arranged in a squared pattern. We will show that, even though increasing the number of active cores will lead to higher output powers, particular attention has to be paid to arising thermal effects, which potentially degrade the performance of these systems. Additionally, we analyze the influence of the core dimensions on the extractable and combinable output power and pulse energy. This includes a detailed study on the thermal effects that influence the propagating transverse modes and, in turn, the amplification efficiency, the combining efficiency, the onset of nonlinear effect, as well as differences in the optical path lengths between the cores. Considering all these effects under rather extreme conditions, the study predicts that average output powers higher than 10 kW from a single 1 m long Ytterbium-doped MCF are feasible and femtosecond pulses with energies higher than 400 mJ can be extracted and efficiently recombined in a filled-aperture scheme.

A phenomenological investigation of how parents come to terms with a gay son or lesbian daughter
Creators: name: MacKenzie, Edith Agnes
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study investigated the phenomenological nature of coming to terms with a gay son or lesbian daughter. Seven co-researchers were interviewed. They were selected from a network of friends, acquaintences and the organization Parents and Friends of Gays and Lesbians. Each person was asked to describe their personal experience of "coming to terms" and to validate the analysis within the context of three interviews. The interviews were taped, transcribed and used as the data for this study. The meaning of "coming to terms" was studied by using the existential-phenomenological approach. The analysis followed the descriptive research method outlined by Colaizzi (1978) in Existential-Phenomenological Alternatives For Psychology. The results directly address the meaning of coming to terms with a gay son or lesbian daughter. The major themes (constituents) were described and integrated into an exhaustive phenomenological description. A condensed description (esstential structure) was derived from the phenomenological description and was presented in an unequivocal statement of meaning.
