The body-soul metaphor in the papal-imperial polemic on eleventh century church reform
Creators: name: Roberts, James R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: An interest in exploring the roots of the Gregorian reform of the Church in the eleventh century led to the reading of the polemical writings by means of which papalists and imperialists contended in the latter decades of the century. It became apparent that argumentation from both sides substantially relied for expression on the metaphorical usage of the terms body and soul and their pertinent synonyms such as flesh and spirit. In examining the use of these terms—which is the burden of this thesis—it is necessary to study their pre-history. Firstly, as the eleventh century writings examined here (the Libelli de Lite, vols, one and two) abundantly show, the polemicists very often cite body/soul metaphorical usage from the Fathers of the Church as well as from the New Testament, particularly from Paul. Since these authorities in turn rest upon a Jewish basis in the context of a Hellenistic Jewish background these formative influences had to be studied. In this way, exploring the roots and subsequent formation of the medieval mentality as it grasped the meaning of body and soul and their mutual relationship one could understand the force of the eleventh century polemical use of the metaphor.^ The purpose of this thesis then is to explore the use of the body/soul metaphor in order to see specifically to what extent the contending parties agreed in their acceptance of the body/soul relationship as well as disagreed. From this understanding one might gauge the effectiveness of the polemical use of the metaphor in the social and political cause for which it was used. Since the metaphor underlies the major issues of simony, Nicolaitism, lay investiture and finally the struggle for supremacy between the Empire and the Papacy, the thesis examines it as cutting across these individual contentions and as representing the core issue, i.e. the essentially theological problem of the right relationship between the spiritual and the temporal or material orders.

description: Electric power grids are at risk of being compromised by high-impact cyber-security threats such as coordinated, timed attacks. Navigating this new threat landscape requires a deep understanding of the potential risks and complex attack processes in energy information systems, which in turn demands an unmanageable manual effort to timely process a large amount of cross-domain information. To provide an adequate basis to contextually assess and understand the situation of smart grids in case of coordinated cyber-attacks, we need a systematic and coherent approach to identify cyber incidents. In this paper, we present an approach that collects and correlates cross-domain cyber threat information to detect multi-stage cyber-attacks in energy information systems. We investigate the applicability and performance of the presented correlation approach and discuss the results to highlight challenges in domain-specific detection mechanisms.

description: Il presente progetto di ricerca, nato inizialmente con l’obbiettivo d’individuare in che modo e in che misura, i testi teatrali del drammaturgo e comico dell’Arte Giovan Battista Andreini, detto Lelio, figlio d’Isabella e Francesco, anche loro attori e letterati d’alto livello, risentirono dell’influenza del mondo dei coevi teatri in musica, dall’intermedio al balletto, si è progressivamente evoluto, divenendo, ben presto, uno studio sulle modalità compositive sperimentali dell’Andreini, dove, in verità, la dimensione del sonoro e la manipolazione dell’elemento musicale, non furono altro che uno dei vari aspetti di suddetta poetica dell’innovazione. Analizzando dunque, minuziosamente, tutte le pièce andreiniane e contestualizzandole, di volta in volta, nel composito panorama sociale, politico e culturale, della prima metà del XVII secolo, in Italia come in Francia, giacché egli lavorò in entrambi gli stati con una certa regolarità - per questo motivo le ricerche sul campo si sono equamente ripartite tra i due paesi - si è giunti a ricostruire, nel dettaglio, quel tessuto, variegato e multiforme, di legami ed influenze, caratterizzato dalla perpetua pulsione alla sperimentazione, esistente tra l’universo performativo barocco e quello che può considerarsi uno dei più alti esponenti della commedia dell’Arte italiana dell’epoca, ridisegnando così i confini di una carriera interamente votata al Teatro e durata più di mezzo secolo.
description: This study, at the beginning, had as principal purpose to analyze the interconnections between dramatic works of the playwright and actor, Giovan Battista Andreini, and the different types of theatres for music of baroque age. But, when the research work is started, the original objective, soon, is change. In fact, it’s appear clear that the music dimension in Andreini’s plays was, in truth, a manifestation of his great desire of innovation. So, the music prospective has become the best way to put in the right light the dramatic experimentalism of this playwright, one of the most important for the history of Commedia dell’Arte and Italian literature, and to discovered many, unknown, aspects of his poetry and personal philosophy. The Andreini’s plays was investigated to contextualize them in the Italian and French spectacular societies of Seventeenth century, because Giovan Battista had spent long periods of his career, besides his own country, also in Paris, working at the court of Maria de’ Medici and his son, Luigi XIII.

Performance measurement systems are essential to determining the effectiveness of interventions for cricket bowling. When a player has an illegal bowling action, the elbow extends more than 15 degrees from when the bowling arm is horizontal to time of ball release. Such interventions to correct bowling actions may not always be successful, so it is important to assess whether the physical and skill performance parameters improved or worsened after the intervention. Equally important is to determine whether there are process-related parameters that prove that an intervention has been implemented. The smart cricket ball has been designed to quantify all of these parameters. This issue of legality is of critical importance to bowlers, as any breach of the rules can have serious consequences, such as being banned from competing. Hence, the aim of this study was to use the smart cricket ball to determine the effectiveness of the technical interventions to correct the illegal bowling actions of finger-spin bowlers.
 
Chemical, biochemical and microbiological indicators to assess soil quality in temperate agro-ecosystems

description: Soil is a critically important component of the earth’s biosphere. Developing agricultural production systems able to conserve soil quality is essential to guarantee the current and future capacity of soil to provide goods and services. 
This study investigates the potential of microbial and biochemical parameters to be used as early and sensitive soil quality indicators. Their ability to differentiate plots under contrasting fertilization regimes is evaluated based also on their sensitivity to seasonal fluctuations of environmental conditions and on their relationship with soil chemical parameters. Further, the study addresses some of the critical methodological aspects of microplate-based fluorimetric enzyme assays, in order to optimize assay conditions and evaluate their suitability to be used as a toll to asses soil quality. 
The study was based on a long-term field experiment established in 1966 in the Po valley (Italy). The soil was cropped with maize (Z. mays L.) and winter wheat (T. aestivum L.) and received no organic fertilization, crop residue or manure, in combination with increasing levels of mineral N fertilizer.
The soil microbiota responded to manure amendment increasing it biomass and activity and changing its community composition. Crop residue effect was much more limited. Mineral N fertilization stimulated crop residue mineralization, shifted microbial community composition and influenced N and P cycling enzyme activities. Seasonal fluctuations of environmental factors affected the soil microbiota. However microbial and biochemical parameters seasonality did not hamper the identification of fertilization-induced effects. Soil microbial community abundance, function and composition appeared to be strongly related to soil organic matter content and composition, confirming the close link existing between these soil quality indicators. Microplate-based fluorimetric enzyme assays showed potential to be used as fast and throughput toll to asses soil quality, but required proper optimization of the assay conditions for a precise estimation of enzymes maximum potential activity.

description: We consider the variational problem of maximizing the weighted equilibrium Green's energy of a distribution of charges free to move in a subset of the upper half-plane, under a particular external field. We show that this problem admits a solution and that, under some conditions, this solution is an S-curve (in the sense of Gonchar-Rakhmanov). The above problem appears in the theory of the semiclassical limit of the integrable focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In particular, its solution provides a justification of a crucial step in the asymptotic theory of nonlinear steepest descent for the inverse scattering problem of the associated linear non-self-adjoint Zakharov-Shabat operator and the equivalent Riemann-Hilbert factorization problem.

description: The hydro-mechanical processes of a reconstituted clay shale (Opalinus Clay) were studied and implications for constitutive modelling of swellable clay shales derived. The study aims to provide further insights into these coupled processes.
For that, oedometric swelling tests with varying boundary conditions and loading paths, oedometric compression tests
under dry and saturated conditions, and permeability tests were performed. The results showed a unique preloading line for
the dry state when plotting the void ratio against the vertical stress. For saturated states, this line was shifted to the left (to
smaller stresses) which revealed a severe reduction of preloading stress due to saturation. All loading paths converged in a
normal compression line (NCL) regardless of the mechanical boundary conditions during saturation. A trend line afne to
the NCL was established for swelling pressures at diferent initial void ratios. The infuence of saturation on the mechanical
properties became further evident, as the un-/reloading stifness was signifcantly reduced. A linear relationship between
volumetric deformation and saturation was found. A severe swelling induced reduction of permeability in the saturated state
was demonstrated and confrmed by the analysis of consolidation processes during oedometric loading. The experimental
fndings were used to derive fundamental assumptions for constitutive modelling and were discussed within a numerical
framework for expansive soils.

description: The last two decades, in particular, have witnessed a large volume of research revolving around structure-property correlation in Carbon based nanocomposites, synthesized by several methods.In the simplest of terms, the electronic properties of these nanomaterials, which form the present context of discussion, vary mainly as a function of three parameters, out of which 2 are process parameters (viz. the kind of reinforcement and method of synthesis) and one is a structure-dependent parameter which is highly influenced by the two aforementioned process parameters and plays a vital role in determining the ionic and electronic transport phenomenon in these materials. To be more specific in the context of structure dependent parameter, the interaction between electrons and the equilibrium 0D (point) defects, along with different types of interfaces, plays a crucial role in the understanding of electronic properties, apart from physical and chemical properties in these materials. These materials find applications in a large number of sectors, such as nanoelectronics, supercapacitors, absorbent, photocatalytic, photovoltaic, solar cells, sensors, and energy storage due to their exceptional electronic, mechanical and chemical properties. The present chapter will intend to focus primarily on providing a brief overview of the state-of-the-art on research along with detailed discussions on some recent developments in determining and understanding electronic properties of some conventional Carbon-based nanocomposites (synthesized by several different techniques) based on the structure property correlation of these materials and finally, address some of the significant challenges in this field.

description: We study the evolution of curvature perturbations and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum in the presence of an hypothesized extra anisotropic stress which might arise, for example, from the dark radiation term in brane-world cosmology. We evolve the scalar modes of such perturbations before and after neutrino decoupling and analyze their effects on the CMB spectrum. A novel result of this work is that the cancellation of the neutrino and extra anisotropic stress could lead to a spectrum of residual curvature perturbations which is similar to the observed CMB power spectrum. This implies a possible additional consideration in the determination of cosmological parameters from the CMB analysis.

description: We simulate transverse oscillations in radiatively cooling coronal loops and forward-model their spectroscopic and imaging signatures, paying attention to the influence of background emission. The transverse oscillations are driven at one footpoint by a periodic velocity driver. A standing kink wave is subsequently formed and the loop cross-section is deformed due to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, resulting in energy dissipation and heating at small scales. Besides the transverse motions, a long-period longitudinal flow is also generated due to the ponderomotive force induced slow wave. We then transform the simulated straight loop to a semi-torus loop and forward-model their spectrometer and imaging emissions, mimicking observations of Hinode/EIS and SDO/AIA. We find that the oscillation amplitudes of the intensity are different at different slit positions, but are roughly the same in different spectral lines or channels. X-t diagrams of both the Doppler velocity and the Doppler width show periodic signals. We also find that the background emission dramatically decreases the Doppler velocity, making the estimated kinetic energy two orders of magnitude smaller than the real value. Our results show that background subtraction can help recover the real oscillation velocity. These results are helpful for further understanding transverse oscillations in coronal loops and their observational signatures. However, they cast doubt on the spectroscopically estimated energy content of transverse waves using the Doppler velocity.

So, by coming straight forward to the point light had been concerned as the most remarkable thing from the starting time of life and here my first paper is based on the particular physical property of Universe. Here, I am giving the particular principle of light leaving behind the last 5,000 years to the civilizations and the mathematical and philosophical aspects of the particular type of thinkers. From the thinkers of India and the westerns the light had been described as the main component of human and the parallel living lives on our planet, but the main target of the paper is not to show or prove the history about the mankind. In this paper we will look at the theories about light then my challenges and the solutions about the particular principle will be obtained.

In baseball pitching, altering spin rate and the spin axis of the ball is effective in getting batters out. The point of application of the force contributes not only to the spin rate but also to the determination of the spin axis during pitching, which is essential information for understanding the mechanism of ball spin. Information on the point of application of force acting on the ball during baseball pitching is very useful for clarifying the ball spin mechanism and for acquiring new pitch types for pitchers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop the method for estimating the point of application of force by only a baseball with an embedded sensor, and examine the reliability.
Interpreting the Variability of Double-Peaked Emission Lines in Active Galactic Nuclei with Stochastically Perturbed Accretion Disk Models

description: In an effort to explain the short-timescale variability of the broad, double-peaked profiles of some active galactic nuclei, we constructed stochastically perturbed accretion disk models and calculated H alpha line profile series as the bright spots rotate, shear and decay. We determined the dependence of the properties of the line profile variability on the spot properties. We compared the variability of the line profile from the models to the observed variability of the H alpha line of Arp 102B and 3C 390.3. We find that spots need to be concentrated in the outer parts of the line emitting region to reproduce the observed variability properties for Arp 102B. This rules out spot production by star/disk collisions and favors a scenario where the radius of marginal self-gravity is within the line emitting region, creating a sharp increase in the radial spot distribution in the outer parts. In the case of 3C 390.3, all the families of models that we tested can reproduce the observed variability for a suitable choice of model parameters.

High levels of safety, security and privacy standards require the use of formal methods to specify and develop compliant software (sub)systems. Any standard comes with an assessment process, which requires a complete documentation of the application in order to ease the justification of design choices and the review of code and proofs. Thus tools are needed for handling specifications, program constructs and verification artifacts. The aim of the F-IDE workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing research efforts as well as experience returns on design, development and usage of formal IDE aiming at making formal methods more accessible for both specialists and non-specialists.

description: Background: Repetitive impacts during running are associated with some running injuries. Tibial acceleration is a proxy for tibial loading, and interventions that can decrease it are likely to be of interest to the running community.Research question: What effect do running gait cues have on peak vertical tibial acceleration at a comfortable and moderate running pace, and how will these cues be executed?Methods: Twenty-seven participants ran on a treadmill according to the following cues in random order: run softly and lightly, run with shorter steps, and increase preferred step rate by 7.5 %. Participants maintained each condition for one minute before returning to their ‘preferred’ running pattern for two minutes. Two tibia-mounted inertial measurement unit sensors were used to collect tibial acceleration data at a ‘comfortable’ and ‘moderate’ run pace. A repeated measures analysis of variance test was used to compare the means between running conditions.Results: Compared to preferred running, the decrease step length (−8 %, p = 0.002, Cohen’s d=0.33) and run softly and lightly (−9 %, p = 0.040, Cohen’s d=0.38) cues provided a significant reduction in peak vertical tibial acceleration during a comfortable run pace. No significant difference was observed with an increase in step rate. Compared to preferred running, there was no significant difference in peak vertical tibial acceleration with any of the running gait cues during a moderate run pace.Significance: Instructing runners to decrease step length or run softly and lightly can result in small reductions in peak vertical tibial acceleration during a comfortable run pace, but running gait cues during a moderate run pace provide no effects. Differences in the execution of each cue are likely to influence overall tibial loading throughout the stride cycle. These findings provide novel biomechanical evidence for the potential effects of running retraining strategies for reducing tibial accelerations at different running paces.

description: The formulation of the low-momentum effective interaction in the model space Lee-Suzuki and the renormalization group methods is implemented in the three-dimensional approach. In this approach the low-momentum effective interaction V_{low k} has been formulated as a function of the magnitude of momentum vectors and the angle between them. As an application the spin-isospin independent Malfliet-Tjon potential has been used into the model space Lee-Suzuki method and it has been shown that the low-momentum effective interaction V_{low k} reproduces the same two-body observables obtained by the bare potential V_{NN}.

description: Debris discs represent the last stages of planet formation and as such are expected to be depleted of primordial gas. Nonetheless, in the last few years the presence of cold gas has been reported in $\sim$ 20 debris discs from far-IR to (sub-)mm observations and hot gas has been observed in the optical spectra of debris discs for decades. While the origin of this gas is still uncertain, most evidences point towards a secondary origin, as a result of collisions and evaporation of small bodies in the disc. In this paper, we present ALMA observations aimed at the detection of CO gas in a sample of 8 debris discs with optical gas detections. We report the detection of CO ($^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO) gas in HD 36546, the brightest and youngest disc in our sample, and provide upper limits to the presence of gas in the remaining seven discs.

title: Towards a Link between Quantitative and Qualitative Sciences to Understand Social Systems Using the Example of Informal Settlements
Creators: name: Friesen, John
Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2024

description: Urbanization is one of the defining trends of our time and appropriate models are needed to anticipate the changes in cities, which are largely determined by human behavior. In the social sciences, where the task of describing human behavior falls, a distinction is made between quantitative and qualitative approaches, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. While the latter often provide descriptions of exemplary processes in order to describe phenomena as holistically as possible, the goal of mathematically motivated modeling is primarily to make a problem tangible. Both approaches are discussed in terms of the temporal evolution of one of the dominant settlement types in the world today: informal settlements. These areas have been modeled in conceptual works as self-organizing entities and in mathematical works as Turing systems. It is shown that the social issues surrounding these areas need to be understood both qualitatively and quantitatively. Inspired by the philosopher C. S. Peirce, a framework is proposed in which the various modeling approaches describing these settlements can be combined to arrive at a more holistic understanding of this phenomenon by using the language of mathematical modeling.
Women in transition : a study of Vancouver Transition House as agent of change
Creators: name: Ridington, Jillian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the origins and function of Vancouver Transition House as an agent of role change and of social change. It is based on observations made during a three-year period as a member of the Transition House staff collective, on formal and informal interviews with the founders, staff, and residents of the house, and on Stephenson's, Garden's, and Freeman's studies of the new feminist movement. The work commences with a discussion of the growth of the women's movement in Vancouver to a stage where the need for social action was understood to be necessary. The effort of the society formed to found the house is then delineated. It is noted that involvement with that group created changes in self-concept and inter-personal relationships similar to those described by Stephenson as occurring in the founders of the original Vancouver women's groups (Stephenson, 1975). The operation of the house and the role of the staff are detailed. There follows an analysis of the transition process undergone by residents, focussing on the importance of a milieu controlled and inhabited exclusively by women in facilitating this process. It is noted that changes in self-concept and in interpersonal relationships, again similar to those experienced by women involved in feminist groups, do occur, but that these may not be sustained after the period of residency without changes in the social context. Recommendations for change in the legal and social systems necessary to sustain individual chang accorded to by a group of transition house workers from refuges throughout North America, are examined. The author concludes that such recommendations demand extended social change, and notes the necessity of recognition of the value of work done by women, and of equality of responsibility in the domestic and public spheres. Until these conditions prevail, women's powereto control institutions and bring about fundamental social change will be limited.

description: We study the intersection theory of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves in $4$-dimensional symplectic cobordisms. We first study the local intersection properties of such curves at the punctures. We then use this to develop topological controls on the intersection number of two curves. We also prove an adjunction formula which gives a topological condition that will guarantee a curve in a given homotopy class is embedded, extending previous work of Hutchings. We then turn our attention to curves in the symplectization $\mathbb{R}\times M$ of a $3$-manifold $M$ admitting a stable Hamiltonian structure. We investigate controls on intersections of the projections of curves to the $3$-manifold, and we present conditions that will guarantee the projection of a curve to the $3$-manifold is an embedding. Finally we consider an application concerning pseudoholomorphic curves in manifolds admitting a certain class of holomorphic open book decomposition, and an application concerning the existence of generalized pseudoholomorphic curves.

description: Many phenomena are correlated and spatially dependent. In addition, some of them are ordinal discrete responses. Thus, a model is needed to capture the interactions of multivariate ordinal outcomes and spatial dependences. Following Smith and LeSage (2004) and Jeliazkov et al. (2008), this study proposes a new algorithm for a multivariate spatial ordered probit (MSOP) model to address this need. In applying this model, the parameters are calculated using the Bayesian inference based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. The validity and accuracy of the MSOP model is verified by simulated datasets, and the model performs very well with the simulated data. In addition, this study illustrates the model by applying it to two response variables, self-rated health, and life satisfaction of elderly people in 18 representative provinces in mainland China. The empirical results show that the spatial dependences are indispensable on the response variables.

description: We numerically investigate the effect of entrance condition on the spatial and temporal evolution of multiple three-dimensional vortex pairs and wall shear stress distribution in a curved artery model. We perform this study using a Newtonian blood-analog fluid subjected to a pulsatile flow with two inflow conditions. The first flow condition is fully developed while the second condition is undeveloped (i.e. uniform). We discuss the connection along the axial direction between regions of organized vorticity observed at various cross-sections of the model and compare results between the different entrance conditions. We model a human artery with a simple, rigid $180^\circ$ curved pipe with circular cross-section and constant curvature, neglecting effects of taper, torsion and elasticity. Numerical results are computed from a discontinuous high-order spectral element flow solver. The flow rate used in this study is physiological. We observe differences in secondary flow patterns, especially during the deceleration phase of the physiological waveform where multiple vortical structures of both Dean-type and Lyne-type coexist. We highlight the effect of the entrance condition on the formation of these structures and subsequent appearance of abnormal inner wall shear stresses - a potentially significant correlation since cardiovascular disease is known to progress along the inner wall of curved arteries under varying degrees of flow development.

description: [NiFe]-hydrogenases catalyze the reversible activation of H$_2$ using a unique NiFe(CN)$_2$CO metal site, which is assembled by a sophisticated multi-protein machinery. The [4Fe–4S]-cluster-containing HypCD complex, which possesses an ATPase activity with an hitherto unknown function, serves as the hub for the assembly of the Fe(CN)$_2$CO sub-fragment. HypCD is also thought to be responsible for the subsequent transfer of the iron fragment to the apo-form of the catalytic hydrogenase subunit, but the underlying mechanism remained unexplored. Here, we performed a thorough spectroscopic characterization of different HypCD preparations using infrared, Mössbauer and NRVS spectroscopy, revealing molecular details of the coordination of the Fe(CN)$_2$CO fragment. Moreover, biochemical assays in combination with spectroscopy, AlphaFold structure predictions, protein-ligand docking calculations and crosslinking MS deciphered unexpected mechanistic aspects of the ATP requirement of HypCD, which we found to actually trigger the transfer of the Fe(CN)$_2$CO fragment to the apo-hydrogenase.

description: In this work, we analytically derive the exact closed dynamical equations for a liquid with short-ranged interactions in large spatial dimensions using the same statistical mechanics tools employed to analyze Brownian motion. Our derivation greatly simplifies the original path-integral-based route to these equations and provides new insight into the physical features associated with high-dimensional liquids and glass formation. Most importantly, our construction provides a facile route to the exact dynamical analysis of important related dynamical problems, as well as a means to devise cluster generalizations of the exact solution in infinite dimensions. This latter fact opens the door to the construction of increasingly accurate theories of vitrification in three-dimensional liquids.

description: In this paper, we show that an atom interferometer inertial sensor, when associated to the auxiliary measurement of external vibrations, can be operated beyond its linear range and still keep a high acceleration sensitivity. We propose and compare two measurement procedures (fringe fitting and nonlinear lock) that can be used to extract the mean phase of the interferometer when the interferometer phase fluctuations exceed $2π$. Despite operating in the urban environment of inner Paris without any vibration isolation, the use of a low noise seismometer for the measurement of ground vibrations allows our atom gravimeter to reach at night a sensitivity as good as $5.5\times10^{-8}$g at 1 s. Robustness of the measurement to large vibration noise is also demonstrated by the ability of our gravimeter to operate during an earthquake with excellent sensitivity. Our high repetition rate allows for recovering the true low frequency seismic vibrations, ensuring proper averaging. Such techniques open new perspectives for applications in other fields, such as navigation and geophysics.

Il mercato e-MID: intraday e crisi finanziaria

description: Il lavoro di tesi ha l’obiettivo di dare seguito e profondità alle verifiche già condotte negli anni scorsi da Monticini e Baglioni, da Angelini e da Vento e La Ganga. Nel dettaglio nella serie storica dei tassi scambiati, sul comparto ON, del mercato e-Mid,  riscontrano empiricamente che i tassi scambiati nelle prime ore del mattino sono in media superiori rispetto a quelli del pomeriggio. In pratica emerge un costo orario positivo. 
Il campione è costituito da 196.571 contratti eseguiti tra il 1 gennaio 2007 ed il 31 marzo 2009, sul comparto ON. Le analisi si sono concentrate sull’intensità del reversal patttern, oltre che su base giornaliera anche su base settimanale (day of the week) e su base mensile (month of the year effect). Le medesime analisi sono state condotte sull’ultimo giorno del periodo di mantenimento, e su particolari giorni che hanno scandito la crisi finanziaria. 
Per osservare la dinamica del reversal pattern prima e durante la crisi, le medesime verifiche sono condotte su tre sub campioni. Il primo considera tutti i contratti dall’inizio e fino all’8 agosto compreso; il secondo da quest’ultimo e fino al 12 settembre 2008 compreso; l’ultimo dal fallimento della Lehman e fino al 31 marzo 2009. 
I risultati confermano la presenza del reversal, per tutti i giorni e per tutti i mesi. Tuttavia quando il campione è suddiviso, le stime del primo campione, perdono di significatività, in particolare il giovedì ed il mese di febbraio.
Sel medesimo periodo di campionamento al fine di verificare se il reversal pattern sia attribuire in parte anche alla liquidità del mercato, si è indagato su tutte le proposte in bid ed in offer, e dei relativi volumi, ovvero sul bid ask spread, il relativo prezzo medio ed i volumi. Anche in questo caso le analisi si sono concentrate oltre che sul campione originario, anche sui tre sub campioni in cui è stato successivamente suddiviso.  
. Quando infine si analizzano volumi e proposte, si nota innanzitutto che, al mattino, quando i prezzi scambiati sono maggiori il bid ask spread è minimo. Viceversa il pomeriggio quando il BAS è minore. La stessa dinamica si osserva per lo spread effettivo (SE), il quale è pari alla differenza tra prezzo medio delle contrattazioni e prezzo medio delle proposte. Infine i volumi sia delle proposte che delle contrattazioni, sono maggiori al mattino rispetto al pomeriggio e tendono a decrescere con l’intensificarsi della crisi. Inoltre i volumi in bid sono sempre maggiori rispetto a quelli in offer al mattino piuttosto che al pomeriggio.
