description: The article focuses on some key-concepts of Gregory Bateson's thought. Among philosopher there has always been a sort of dichotomy between the concepts of “form” and “substance” since ancient Greece; concerning this topic, Gregory Bateson (influenced by his studies on biology, communication and by the birth of Cybernetics) presents what - in his opinion - is the only possible statement able to describe reality: the map is not the territory. The article, then, attempts to define what for Gregory Bateson is considered as an “eco-mental system” and, finally, discusses about its ethics implications.
description: Il contributo presenta alcuni concetti-chiave del pensiero di Gregory Bateson. Partendo dalla diatriba filosofica tra “forma” e “sostanza” che ha caratterizzato i dibattiti sin dai tempi antichi, si giunge a quella che, per Bateson, è l'unica formula possibile per descrivere la realtà (influenzata dagli studi sulla biologia, la comunicazione e la nascita della Cibernetica), riassumibile nella fortunata espressione “la mappa non è il territorio”. Da qui si cerca di definire la concezione batesoniana di “sistema eco-mentale” e si delineano alcune implicazioni di tipo etico e morale.

description: The GAIA satellite is likely to observe thousands of RR Lyrae stars within a small spectral window, between 8470A and 8750A, at a resolution of 11,500. In order to derive the metallicity of RR Lyrae stars from Gaia, we have obtained numerous spectra of RR Lyrae stars at a resolution of 35,000 with the Apache Point Observatory 3.5 m echelle spectrograph. We have correlated the Ca II triplet line strengths with metallicity as derived from Fe II abundances, analogous to Preston's (1959) use of the Ca II K line to estimate the metallicity of RR Lyrae stars. The Ca II line at 8498A is the least blended with neighboring Paschen lines and thus provides the best correlation.

description: The discovery of the importance and the role that today digital skills take in every aspect of individual and social life of the citizens of the knowledge society has initiated an important process that should lead to diffusion of the critical and conscious use of ICT in every context. Many are, in fact, the actions related to the current regulatory landscape and scenarios that are pushing in that direction. In this complex process is proposed as a more urgent attention on the training of digital skills of teachers and educators because ICT be included by design in didactic and training of innovative nature. Starting from the consideration of long-established university teaching experience and more recent studies and research projects are here advanced work hypothesis to offer educational courses specifically aimed at the training of digital skills in education and teaching.

Numerose sono, infatti, le azioni che caratterizzano l’attuale panorama normativo e gli scenari che stanno spingendo in tale direzione. In questo complesso processo si propone come sempre più urgente l’attenzione rivolta alla formazione di competenze digitali di insegnanti e educatori perché le ICT vengano inserite con criterio e metodo in percorsi didattici e formativi a carattere innovativo. Partendo dalla considerazione di esperienze didattiche universitarie ormai consolidate e da più recenti percorsi di studio e progetti di ricerca, vengono qui avanzate ipotesi di lavoro per progettare proposte didattiche specificamente rivolte alla formazione delle competenze digitali in ambito educativo e formativo.

description: A PhD Dissertation defended at the University of Colorado, Boulder, on May 7, 2021. Included also is a copy of supplemental animations which are also available on the author's website. Abstract: Magnetic bright points on the solar photosphere, prominent in the G band but also visible in the continuum, mark the footpoints of kilogauss magnetic flux tubes extending toward the corona. Convective buffeting of these tubes is believed to excite MHD waves, which can propagate to the corona and there deposit heat. Measuring wave excitation via bright-point motion can thus constrain coronal and heliospheric models, and this has been done extensively with centroid tracking, which can estimate kink-mode wave excitation. DKIST will be the first telescope to provide well-resolved observations of bright points, allowing shape and size measurements to probe the excitation of other wave modes that have been difficult, if not impossible, to study to date. I develop two complementary ways to take the first step in such an investigation, which I demonstrate on bright points in MURaM-simulated images of DKIST-like resolution, as a proof-of-concept in preparation for future DKIST observations. This demonstration shows that accounting for these additional wave modes may increase the energy budget of this wave-heating model by a factor of two. I also investigate the convection which drives bright-point motion. I present a simplified model of solar granulation, which I use alongside MURaM to explore how bright-point motion depends on properties of convection, and I show the importance of turbulence to high-frequency motion. Separately, I investigate high-frequency, stochastic brightness fluctuations (“flicker” or F8) in Kepler light curves, which are the signature of stellar convection (as well as a source of noise for exoplanetary studies). I confront a physical model of this flicker with measured values across the H-R diagram. I revise this model to improve its agreement with observations by including the effect of the Kepler bandpass on measured flicker, by incorporating metallicity in determining convective Mach numbers, and by using scaling relations from a wider set of numerical simulations. I also explore what future lines of research might improve the model further. In doing so, I help to establish this flicker as a source of stellar constraints on simulations of convection, which may support future advances in understanding both stellar and solar convection.

description: A one-step, a two-step, an abridged, a skeletal and four detailed kinetic schemes of hydrogen oxidation have been tested. A new skeletal kinetic scheme of hydrogen oxidation has been developed. The CFD calculations were carried out using ANSYS CFX software. Ignition delay times and speeds of flames were derived from the computational results. The computational data obtained using ANSYS CFX and CHEMKIN, and experimental data were compared. The precision, reliability, and range of validity of the kinetic schemes in CFD simulations were estimated. The impact of kinetic scheme on the results of computations was discussed. The relationship between grid spacing, timestep, accuracy, and computational cost were analyzed.

Constitutive expression of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in rat testis : immunochemical characterization and regulation by 17-beta-estradiol benzoate and bisphenol A
Creators: name: Gilibili, Ravindranath Reddy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Relatively little is known about the expression, localization and regulation of rat testicular xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, including cytochrome P450s (CYP) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), which are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics including drugs and toxicants, and of endobiotics such as steroid hormones and prostaglandins. Suppression or induction of these enzymes in testis may alter the magnitude of tissue exposure to xenobiotics and endobiotics levels. In the present study, constitutive expression of various xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (Study 1) and their regulation by 17β-estradiol benzoate (EB) (Study 2) and an endocrine disrupting chemical, bisphenol A (BPA) (Study 3), were investigated in adult rat testis. As shown in Study 1, immunoblot analysis of testicular microsomes prepared from untreated rats revealed the presence of CYP1B1, CYP2A1, CYP17A1, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (POR) and mEH, and absence of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B1, CYP2E1, CYP2D1, CYP2D2, CYP2C6, CYP2C7, CYP2C11, CYP2C12, CYP2C13, CYP3A1, CYP3A2, CYP4A1, CYP4A2 and CYP4A3. Immunohistochemical analysis of tissue sections prepared from frozen testis indicated that CYP1B1, CYP2A1 and CYP17A1 were localized in interstitial cells, but not in seminiferous tubules, whereas mEH and POR were localized in both interstitial cells and in seminiferous tubules. In Study 2, subcutaneous (sc) treatment of EB at 0.004, 0.04, 0.4 or 4 μmol/kg once daily for 14 days suppressed testicular expression of CYP1B1, CYP2A1 and CYP17A1 at each of the dosages tested. EB also suppressed mEH and POR protein expression at dosages > 0.04 μmol/kg. In Study 3, administration of BPA at 400, 800 or 1600 μmol/kg sc once daily for 14 days decreased testicular CYP1B1, CYP2A1, CYP17A1, mEH and POR protein expression at each of the dosages tested. EB and BPA did not produce a general down-regulation of testicular protein expression because neither of these chemicals decreased calnexin protein (endoplasmic reticulum marker) levels. In summary, CYP1B1, CYP2A1, CYP17A1, mEH and POR were detected in rat testis and their expression was confined to interstitial cells (CYP1B1, CYP2A1, CYP17A1, mEH and POR) and seminiferous tubules (mEH and POR). Constitutive expression of these rat testicular enzymes was suppressed by exogenous administration of 17β-estradiol and BPA.
title: Designer and Client Perceptions of Openness in School Environments

description: There is a debate among school designers and educators as to whether a more visually open learning environment provides more or less safety from a range of threats, including everyday common occurrences, such as bullying, as well as extremely rare but catastrophic mass shootings. The term “openness” has multiple meanings, physically, socially, and psychologically, and this paper will define what openness means through a brief literature review. What some consider to be a logical design approach in response to one type of threat may pose problems in dealing with other types of threats. In order to understand where architects, interior designers, Accredited Learning Environment Planners, and others involved in school design stand on the issue of openness, a survey was conducted to gauge their perceptions of safety. This study asked designers to rate their perceptions and provide an explanation of what leads them to believe such spaces are more or less safe. Also, they were asked to rate their clients’ attitudes toward openness in school environments. The results indicate that school designers overwhelmingly believe that openness improves safety, security, a sense of community, and wellbeing, while indicating that their clients are generally ambiguous or conflicting in their belief. The most common theme found in the explanatory responses points to the ability to see oncoming threats (prospect) and to establish a sense of passive supervision that leads to accountability and connectedness to the school community, while noting the concern for providing refuge and escape opportunities. The study’s results help to identify why these school designers hold openness, as a design strategy, to be successful and where clients may lack understanding of its benefits. It also helps to identify conflicts between architectural strategies to pave a way to mitigate such conflicts.
title: Grey-box Modeling to Evaluate Heat Loss in Mongolian Ger
Creators: name: Hakkarainen, Max
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology

description: Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, is currently facing an unprecedented air pollution crisis. The main cause of this is residents of ger (or “yurt” in Russian) burning solid fuels for domestic heating during the winter. To combat this problem, the Ger of the 21st Century project was launched with the goal of decreasing the amount of energy required for domestic heating in ger. As part of that project, several interventions were designed to target the specific pathways of heat loss in ger. In the fall of 2018, six unoccupied test ger were constructed on a ranch near Ulaanbaatar to test these interventions. Each of these ger was fitted with a package of thermal monitoring equipment and heated for the 2018–2019 winter heating season. A lumped-sum thermal model was developed to describe the anticipated pathways of heat loss within ger, namely conduction through the building envelope, air infiltration, conduction through the edge of the floor, and conduction to the ground. The log-normalized extended Kalman filter (LNEKF) was then used to simultaneously estimate the thermal state of the ger and the parameters of the thermal model. The converged parameters were used to estimate the heat loss to each of the previously mentioned pathways. Based on this analysis, it was concluded that conduction through the building envelope accounted for 53.9 percent of all heat loss in ger and adding an additional layer of horsehair felt insulation to the ger envelope was shown to decrease the thermal transmittance of the ger envelope by 43 percent. Additionally, conduction at the floor edge accounted for 26.6 percent of all heat loss in the ger. None of the tested interventions targeted that pathway of heat loss. While conduction from the floor to the ground accounted for 16.7 percent of the heat loss in the ger, the four types of floor interventions tested in this study did not appear to have a meaningful impact on the thermal transmittance between the floor and the ground. Finally, air infiltration accounted for a negligible amount of heat loss in the ger (0.183 percent), and the interventions to decrease air infiltration appear to have been ineffective. However, there still appears to be significant amounts of unaccounted for heat loss in the model for some of the ger. Future development of these models could yield higher fidelity results.

description: The task of the binary classification problem is to determine which of two distributions has generated a length-$n$ test sequence. The two distributions are unknown; two training sequences of length $N$, one from each distribution, are observed. The distributions share an alphabet of size $m$, which is significantly larger than $n$ and $N$. How does $N,n,m$ affect the probability of classification error? We characterize the achievable error rate in a high-dimensional setting in which $N,n,m$ all tend to infinity, under the assumption that probability of any symbol is $O(m^{-1})$. The results are: 1. There exists an asymptotically consistent classifier if and only if $m=o(\min\{N^2,Nn\})$. This extends the previous consistency result in [1] to the case $N\neq n$. 2. For the sparse sample case where $\max\{n,N\}=o(m)$, finer results are obtained: The best achievable probability of error decays as $-\log(P_e)=J \min\{N^2, Nn\}(1+o(1))/m$ with $J>0$. 3. A weighted coincidence-based classifier has non-zero generalized error exponent $J$. 4. The $\ell_2$-norm based classifier has J=0.

description: This research contributes to our understanding of trust in the international business environment, exploring the development of trust, and the influence of culture, structures and hierarchies, and international business communications. The focus is on the management of employees working in foreign-owned, international businesses operating in Morocco. With few notable and very valuable exceptions, there has been very little research exploring the Arab approach to management and even fewer pieces of research focus on the development of trust in this context. A qualitative research approach was employed, as so little is understood about the context and the phenomenon. A total of 30 interviewees from various managerial and organisational levels represented the sample of the study with five participating international companies, from different sectors established in Morocco. Using a content-thematic analysis, the research shows that Moroccan employees prefer working in international companies and their preference is associated to many factors such as the work environment they belong to, the financial and social benefits they receive, career advancement and employees’ development as well as being a part of a defined and organised structure where information is well circulated and communication is encouraged. In this way, this research contributes not only to our understanding of the development of trust in an Arab context but also sheds more light on cultural aspects which was found out in the research that they were interpreted differently such as the case of Hofstede’s uncertainty avoidance dimension. In particular the research suggest that some, non-Arabic researchers, may have misinterpreted certain behaviours in Arab cultures. This leads the research to a final conclusion that clearly shows the importance of considering Arab management as a fourth paradigm to explain managerial practices in the Arab World as suggested by Weir (2008) and better understand their practices (Hutchings and Weir, 2006).

description: The most fundamental characteristics of a physical system can often be deduced from its behaviour under discrete symmetry transformations such as time reversal, parity and chirality. Here we review basic symmetry properties of the relativistic quantum theories for free electrons in (2+1)- and (1+1)-dimensional spacetime. Additional flavour degrees of freedom are necessary to properly define symmetry operations in (2+1) dimensions and are generally present in physical realisations of such systems, e.g., in single sheets of graphite. We find that there exist two possibilities for defining any flavour-coupling discrete symmetry operation of the two-flavour (2+1)-dimensional Dirac theory. Physical implications of this previously unnoticed duplicity are discussed.

Questions of Mediation in the Translation of Tourist Texts

Subjects: linguistics; translation; specialized discourse; tourism studies

description: The notion of “mediation”  - meant as a symbolic space for interplay and negotiation -  is one on the main characteristic of the language of tourism. The force of tourism communication lies in its capacity to develop a language capable of coping with the functions and needs of the extremely diverse components of this field. Hence, a variety of discursive strategies and linguistic features are exploited and textually organised into hybrid text genres, in order to meet the needs of professionals working in several areas (transport, tourist information, tourist accommodation etc).
 Not only is tourism communication subject to a high degree of negotiation at textual level, but the concept of “mediation” surfaces also at the ideational level of language. The purpose of tourism is to negotiate the encounter with the Other, and in doing so identities are very often re-arranged and distorted.
 The object of this paper is to analyse what happens when tourism-fashioned identities are transported across linguistic, social and cultural barriers.

description: We document the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of thrust nappes of the eastern island of Elba. The area exposes a natural cross section of the Northern Apennines hinterland, from the metamorphic basement units to the overlying continent- and ocean-derived nappes. We integrated mapping, analysis of structures and microstructures, and the interpretation of drill core logs with lithostratigraphic, metamorphic, and geochronological constraints, producing a novel geological map of eastern Elba (1:5’000 scale). We show that the area experienced polyphase Oligocene – Pliocene contractional tectonics marked by in-sequence and out-of-sequence thrusting accompanied by folding and overprinted by faulting in the Pliocene. Magmatism occurred during contraction with post-magmatic thrusting ultimately coupling HP-LT and LP-HT units. Drill core logs allow for the first time the reconstruction of the N-dipping character of the Zuccale Fault, which represents the youngest (late Miocene – early Pliocene) large-scale structure in the area.

description: This study is part of a research about the terminology found in the language of tourism, defined as an area of ??knowledge. It has been conducted a study based upon the terms used by four major international airlines - two from Europe: British Airways (United Kingdom) and Alitalia (Italy), and two from Latin America: TAM (Brazil) and Lan (Chile) - in their websites, designed for the final consumer (passenger), since each of them has a different official language (English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, respectively). The specific objectives were: i) to reflect about the differences among the terms used by each airline, ii) to analyze whether there is a substantial presence of acronyms, iii) to identify how each of these airlines use English, considering that only the first one has it as its official language. The hypothesis that have guided the research are: i) there are no significant changes among the terminology used by the airlines which are the object of the present research, ii), there is a fair use of synonyms for the same concepts, iii) there is an extensive use of acronyms, iv) there is a considerable influence of English, that may be seen in language borrowings and in some hybrid formations.

description: A travel guide author bases their writing on the notions they have developed of the would-be traveller and therefore chooses appropriate subject matter which will encourage the traveller to a have a new experience.  In order to reach their goal, the author selects the linguistic and discourse strategies that will best help to persuade the reader to visit a place.  The Routard/Trotamundos guide, which is the object of this present study, aims to reject the linguistic and discourse stereotypes underlying the conventions of the genre.  It therefore proposes a fresh and more realistic vision of a destination.
Moreover, the study of the Spanish and Italian versions allows us to reflect on the way a place is perceived, both from the viewpoint of the culture which is making the observations, and also from the culture which is being observed (Amossy 1994: 75).  Both cultures can use the same words but with different meanings.

description: An American Institute of Cooperation (AIC) survey of U.S. cooperatives regarding cooperative education needs found young farmers to be the highest priority target audience for respondents. The priority of target audiences was different for selected groups of cooperatives, by cooperative size, and by farm credit district. Differences also existed in which target audiences, local and regional cooperatives, State cooperative organizations, USDA's Agricultural Cooperative Service (ACS), AIC, and Extension Service should be providing cooperative education. Promoting cooperatives was identified as one of the most important AIC activities. AIC's use of educational materials was considered the most effective method for educating a larger number of target audiences. A majority of respondents believed some changes were needed in AIC's programs and activities.

description: This paper is a first report on the determination of $Λ_{\msbar}$ from lattice simulations with 2+1+1 twisted-mass dynamical flavours {\it via} the computation of the ghost-gluon coupling renormalized in the MOM Taylor scheme. We show this approach allows a very good control of the lattice artefacts and confirm the picture from previous works with quenched and ${\rm N}_f$=2 twisted-mass field configurations which prove the necessity to include non-perturbative power corrections in the description of the running. We provide with an estimate of $Λ_{\msbar}$ in very good agreement with experimental results. To our knowledge it is the first calculation with a dynamical charm quark which makes the running up to $α_s(M_Z)$ much safer.

title: Effects of Hydrothermal Modification on the Mechanical Properties of Red Alder (Alnus Rubra) Native to the Pacific Northwest
Creators: name: Muiruri, Kevin
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: Red alder (Alnus rubra) is a tree species native to the Pacific Northwest and is the most abundant hardwood in the region. Like other tree species native to this region, it is not well suited to exterior use due to poor weathering properties. This research attempts to address these shortcomings by hydrothermally modifying the wood. Hydrothermal modification is a form of wood treatment that uses heat and high-pressure steam to improve the quality of timber. The treatment results in wood that is more resistant to weathering and is less affected by water. The research compared hydrothermally modified Red alder to an untreated control group of the same wood. Previous studies on other species of timber show that a significant shortcoming of hydrothermal treatment is a drop in fracture resistance of the wood. This was similar to Red alder, which had a 38% reduction in its Modulus of Rupture. An analysis of the data using a paired T-test also revealed that the presence of knots in hydrothermally treated wood significantly impacts its mechanical performance. These results lead to a recommendation for using clear wood for hydrothermal modification. Hydrothermal treatment presents an opportunity to create sustainable wood products by increasing resistance to rot and insect damage of existing wood species.
Customer-friendly Approach or Pidginization of German Tourist Discourse

description: If the sentences or phrases like Fast Food-Konzept in Chile, Leonardo goes Gastronomie, Der Claim „Inspiration for modern living“, WM-Countdown läuft; Deutschland ist die fünftgrößte Incoming-Destination weltweit und … are considered, the first impression is that this is a typical mixture of both English and German. To all intents and purposes, they support the main part of a definition of pidgin language.
Communication plays a central role in tourism. As emphasized by numerous authors, it is a personification of tourism; conversely tourism could be said to totally encompass a system of communication. As it is a crucial component of the industry, tourist discourse not only serves as a medium for buying/selling tourist products, it also assumes the role of the product itself within the complexity of various economic, technological and political processes in tourism. If analyzed within linguistic norms, discussion of Anglo-American influence on the German tourist discourse should focus on the problem of erosion of the national language, due to the impact of these Ango-Americanisms. The German tourist discourse aims at a customer-friendly approach in order to attract potential buyers or guests, all of which results in a slightly pidginized version of the German tourist discourse.

Symmetrical Multilevel Diversity Coding and Subset Entropy Inequalities

description: Symmetrical multilevel diversity coding (SMDC) is a classical model for coding over distributed storage. In this setting, a simple separate encoding strategy known as superposition coding was shown to be optimal in terms of achieving the minimum sum rate (Roche, Yeung, and Hau, 1997) and the entire admissible rate region (Yeung and Zhang, 1999) of the problem. The proofs utilized carefully constructed induction arguments, for which the classical subset entropy inequality of Han (1978) played a key role. This paper includes two parts. In the first part the existing optimality proofs for classical SMDC are revisited, with a focus on their connections to subset entropy inequalities. First, a new sliding-window subset entropy inequality is introduced and then used to establish the optimality of superposition coding for achieving the minimum sum rate under a weaker source-reconstruction requirement. Second, a subset entropy inequality recently proved by Madiman and Tetali (2010) is used to develop a new structural understanding to the proof of Yeung and Zhang on the optimality of superposition coding for achieving the entire admissible rate region. Building on the connections between classical SMDC and the subset entropy inequalities developed in the first part, in the second part the optimality of superposition coding is further extended to the cases where there is either an additional all-access encoder (SMDC-A) or an additional secrecy constraint (S-SMDC).

Relativistic scattering of solitons in nonlinear field theory
Creators: name: Gutierrez, Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis presents results from numerical studies of the dynamics of three classical nonlinear field theories, each of which possesses stable, localized solutions called solitons. We focus on two of the theories, known as Skyrme models, which have had application in various areas of physics. The third, which treats a complex scalar field, is principally viewed as a model problem to develop solution techniques. In all cases, time dependent, nonlinear partial differential equations in several spatial dimensions are solved computationally. Simulation of high energy collisions of the solitons is of particular interest. The solitons of the complex scalar field theory are known as Q-balls and carry a charge Q. We investigate the scattering of these objects, reproducing previous findings for collisions where the Q-balls have charge of the same sign. We obtain new results for interactions where the Q-balls have opposite charge, and for scattering of Q-balls against potential obstructions. The chief contributions of this thesis come from simulations performed within the context of a Skyrme model in two spatial dimensions. This is a multi-scalar theory with solitons known as baby skyrmions. We concentrate on the rich phenomenology seen in high-energy scattering of pairs of these objects, each of which has a topological charge that can be either positive or negative. We extend the understanding of the role of different parameters of the model in governing the outcome of head-on and off-axis collisions. The study of instabilities seen in previous simulations of Skyrme models is of central interest. Our results confirm that the governing partial differential equations become of mixed hyperbolic-elliptic type for interactions at sufficiently high-energy, as originally suggested by Crutchfield and Bell. We present strong evidence for the loss of energy conservation and smoothness of the dynamical fields in these instances. This supports the conclusion that the initial value problem at hand becomes ill-posed, so that the observed instabilities result from the nature of the equations themselves, and are not numerical artifacts. Finally, we present preliminary results for the typical phenomenology seen in head-on scattering of solitons in the Skyrme model in three spatial dimensions.
