description: Objective: Ultrasound protocols to measure carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) differ in the number of carotid walls, segments and angles measured. No published evidence is available to help decide which approach is best, i.e. the most reproducible and providing the largest CIMT progression rate measured with highest precision. We compared different ultrasound protocols in a post-hoc analysis in the ‘Osteoporosis Prevention and Arterial effects of tiboLone’ (OPAL) study, a 3-year randomized controlled trial among healthy postmenopausal women. Research design and methods: Based on combinations of 60 CIMT measurements per participant (two sides, two walls, three segments, five angles), 66 theoretical protocols were constructed. Each protocol was assessed and ranked on: (1) reproducibility (intra-class correlation (ICC), mean difference of duplicate scans) and (2) CIMT progression rate and its precision (standard error) in the placebo group. Results: Duplicate scans at baseline and end of study were available for 675 women (89% of 759 subjects). ICC ranged from 0.69 to 0.88. Mean difference in CIMT of duplicate scans and its standard deviation, ranged from 0.0010 to 0.0137 mm and from 0.0561 to 0.1770, respectively. CIMT rate of progression ranged from –0.0001 to 0.0113 mm/year. The protocols with highest reproducibility and highest CIMT progression-precision were mean common CIMT protocols measuring both near and far wall at ≥ 2 angles. The mean maximum protocol measuring three segments at ≥ 2 angles performed best, yet with lower estimates as for common CIMT protocols. Conclusions: In healthy middle-aged subjects mean common CIMT protocols that include measurements at both near and far walls at multiple (≥ 2) angles provide highest reproducibility combined with largest estimates of CIMT progression measured with high precision and are to be recommended in this population.

description: Anisotropic phonon transport along different lattice directions of two-dimensional (2D) materials has been observed, however, the effect decreases with increasing the thickness beyond a few atomic layers. Here we establish a novel mechanism to induce anisotropic phonon transport in quasi-2D materials with isotropic symmetry. The phonon propagation is guided by resonance hybridization with surface nanostructures. We demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of 3 nm-thick silicon membrane with surface nanofins is greater by $\sim50\%$ parallel to the fins than that perpendicular to the fins.

description: Hazardous gas dispersion within a complex urban environment in 1:1 scaled geometry of German cities, Hanover and Frankfurt, is predicted using an advanced turbulence model. The investigation involves a large group of real buildings with a high level of details. For this purpose, Computer Aided Design (CAD) of two configurations are cleaned, then fine grids meshed in. Weather conditions are introduced using power law velocity profiles at inlets boundary. The investigation focused on the effects of release locations and material properties of the contaminants (e.g., densities) on the convection/diffusion of pollutants within complex urban area. Two geometries demonstrating different topologies and boundaries conditions are investigated. Pollutants are introduced into the computational domain through chimney and/or pipe leakages in various locations. Simulations are carried out using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model and species transport for the pollutants. The weather conditions are accounted for using a logarithmic velocity profile at inlets. CH₄ and CO₂ distributions, as well as turbulence quantities and velocity profiles, show important influences on the dispersion behavior of the hazardous gas.

description: Determinations of $\vud$ and $\vus$ along with their implications for the unitarity test $\vud^2+\vus^2+\vub^2=1$ are discussed. The leading two loop radiative corrections to neutron $β$-decay are evaluated and used to derive a refined relationship $\vud^2 τ_n (1+3g_A^2)=4908(4)$sec. Employing $\vud =0.9740(5)$ from superallowed nuclear decays and the measured neutron lifetime $τ_n = 885.7(7)$sec, leads to the precise prediction $g_A=1.2703(8)$ which is compared with current direct experimental values. Various extractions of $\vus$ are described and updated. The long accepted Particle Data Group value of $\vus$ from fitted $K_{e3}$ decay rates suggests a deviation from CKM unitarity but it is contradicted by more recent experimental results which confirm unitarity with good precision. An outlook for possible future advances is given.

description: We investigate the idea that current cosmic acceleration could be the consequence of gravitational leakage into extra dimensions on cosmological scales rather than the result of a non-zero cosmological constant, and consider the ability of future gravitational-wave siren observations to probe this phenomenon and constrain the parameters of phenomenological models of this gravitational leakage. In theories that include additional non-compact spacetime dimensions, the gravitational leakage intro extra dimensions leads to a reduction in the amplitude of observed gravitational waves and thereby a systematic discrepancy between the distance inferred to such sources from GW and EM observations. We investigate the capability of a gravitational space interferometer such as LISA to probe this modified gravity on large scales. We find that the extent to which LISA will be able to place limits on the number of spacetime dimensions and other cosmological parameters characterising modified gravity will strongly depend on the actual number and redshift distribution of sources, together with the uncertainty on the GW measurements. A relatively small number of sources ($\sim 1$) and high measurement uncertainties would strongly restrict the ability of LISA to place meaningful constraints on the parameters in cosmological scenarios where gravity is only five-dimensional and modified at scales larger than about $\sim 4$ times the Hubble radius. Conversely, if the number of sources observed amounts to a four-year average of $\sim 27$, then in the most favourable cosmological scenarios LISA has the potential to place meaningful constraints on the cosmological parameters with a precision of $\sim 1\%$ on the number of dimensions and $\sim 7.5\%$ on the scale beyond which gravity is modified, thereby probing the late expansion of the universe up to a redshift of $\sim 8$.

This reduction corresponds to fixing the isospin of the latter system.

The targum (1958:Apr. 9- 1958:Apr. 30)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1958

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent and life-threatening condition that significantly impacts the health of individuals. As CKD progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), patients are often required to undergo renal replacement therapy (RRT), such as hemodialysis (HD), to sustain life. The advent of modern dialysis methods has led to a substantial increase in life expectancy for ESRD patients, extending it by an average of 10–12 years. However, despite the improvement in medical outcomes, the prospect of lifelong dialysis treatment presents various psychological and social challenges for patients. Dialysis is often perceived as the end of life by patients, leading to significant emotional distress.

description: Analyses of a 3D simulation of the upper layers of a solar convective envelope provide constraints on the physical quantities which enter the theoretical formulation of a stochastic excitation model of solar p modes, for instance the convective velocities and the turbulent kinetic energy spectrum. These constraints are then used to compute the acoustic excitation rate for solar p modes, P. The resulting values are found ~5 times larger than the values resulting from a computation in which convective velocities and entropy fluctuations are obtained with a 1D solar envelope model built with the time-dependent, nonlocal Gough (1977) extension of the mixing length formulation for convection (GMLT). This difference is mainly due to the assumed mean anisotropy properties of the velocity field in the excitation region. The 3D simulation suggests much larger horizontal velocities compared to vertical ones than in the 1D GMLT solar model. The values of P obtained with the 3D simulation constraints however are still too small compared with the values inferred from solar observations. Improvements in the description of the turbulent kinetic energy spectrum and its depth dependence yield further increased theoretical values of P which bring them closer to the observations. It is also found that the source of excitation arising from the advection of the turbulent fluctuations of entropy by the turbulent movements contributes ~ 65-75 % to the excitation and therefore remains dominant over the Reynolds stress contribution. The derived theoretical values of P obtained with the 3D simulation constraints remain smaller by a factor ~3 compared with the solar observations. This shows that the stochastic excitation model still needs to be improved.

description: La nozione di densità occupa un posto centrale nella storia delle teorie e delle pratiche della pianificazione urbanistica, oltre la sua dimensione di strumento tecnico di misurazione e valutazione al servizio del processo di attuazione dei piani. A seconda del periodo storico, è stata associata all’insalubrità e alla mancanza di igiene; ha rappresentato lo strumento operativo con cui razionalizzare i sistemi insediativi; più recentemente è stata declinata come antidoto alla crisi urbana originata dalla dispersione insediativa e dai cambiamenti climatici. Con la crisi pandemica, è stata incolpata per il disastro originato dal virus da parte di chi in maniera acritica ha ignorato i complessi fattori che realmente determinano le crisi. Questo articolo sostiene un differente punto di vista e, con l’aiuto di alcune esperienze europee alla scala territoriale e urbana, declina il concetto di “densità accettabile” e di “giusta distanza”, quali finalità da perseguire nel progetto urbanistico per contribuire al contenimento della dispersione insediativa e per assicurare le prestazioni che migliorano la qualità della vita nelle città e la conservazione degli spazi naturali.

description: Trattasi di contributo avente ad oggetto riflessioni sulla disciplina della pianificazione urbanistica comunale e sulle prassi pianificatorie e gestionali caratterizzate, a seconda dei casi, dal ricorso alla pianificazione rigida oppure da iperpragmatismo urbanistico o da un’eccessiva valorizzazione degli accordi od addirittura da deregulation. In particolare, vengono dall’autore svolte considerazioni sul modello INU di detta pianificazione urbanistica comunale e formulate ipotesi su possibili revisioni dello stesso auspicabilmente caratterizzate dall’ampliamento degli ambiti che, ai fini della necessaria valorizzazione del processo, sono da lasciare alla gestione. L’autore, in particolare, ritiene che si giustifichino rigidità solo per quanto riguarda la c.d. pianificazione strutturale conformativa del territorio ed attenta a tutte le necessarie salvaguardie ambientali e che occorra, invece, sempre “laicizzare” le scelte di pianificazione strategica ed in particolare quelle di c.d. pianificazione operativa latamente intesa.

description: We study a simple model of conducting polymers in which a single electron propagates through a randomly tangled chain. The model has the geometry of a small-world network, with a small density $p$ of crossings of the chain acting as shortcuts for the electron. We use numerical diagonalisation and simple analytical arguments to discuss the density of states, inverse participation ratios and wave functions. We suggest that there is a critical point at $p=0$ and demonstrate finite-size scaling of the energy and wave functions at the lower band edge. The wave functions are multifractal. The critical exponent of the correlation length is consistent with criticality due to the small-world effect, as distinct from the previously discussed, dimensionality-driven Anderson transition.

description: La riflessione proposta trae spunto dalle vicende del piano di Reggio Emilia, descritte in un noto articolo di Luigi Mazza del 1995, per sviluppare il tema del sovradimensionamento degli strumenti urbanistici, alla luce delle recenti evoluzioni sociali e demografiche nazionali. Le trasformazioni in corso sono connesse alla sostanziale inefficienza del patrimonio edilizio, un fenomeno che è destinato ad accentuarsi nel prossimo decennio, nelle regioni del Mezzogiorno. Viene proposta una stima sommaria delle tendenze in atto, basata sulle rilevazioni svolte dall’Istat, riferita a un campione di cinque regioni. Anche le vicende urbanistiche delle quattro città principali del Mezzogiorno e di altri centri minori confermano la grande difficoltà nell’avviare un sostanziale cambiamento di paradigma nella prassi urbanistica e richiamano l’avvio una stagione di profonda innovazione.

POLITICHE INSEDIATIVE E SOSTENIBILITÀ URBANA
Creators: name: Sgobbo, Alessandro
Publisher: name: BDC. Bollettino Del Centro Calza Bini
Year: 2021

description: L’interesse della comunità scientifica per climate change e temi ecologico-ambientali si riflette nell’approccio proibizionista con cui, nella pianificazione territoriale, la burocrazia talvolta interpreta il richiamo all’esigenza di contenere il consumo di suolo e lo spreco di risorse ecosistemiche. Limitare la trasformabilità del patrimonio edilizio e comprimere ogni tipo di crescita residenziale costituiscono la prevalente strategia perseguita, anche sacrificando altrettanto contingenti necessità sociali, economiche ed ecologiche. Le sperimentazioni condotte nel Progetto di Ricerca Urban Density & Sustainability sostengono l’ipotesi di maggior efficacia di politiche di distribuzione insediativa fondate sulla capacità del territorio piuttosto che limitate al soddisfacimento del fabbisogno interno di ogni comune. Perplessità, tuttavia, suscita la conseguente sperequazione territoriale che potrebbe derivare dall’implementazione di tale strategia.

description: Scrivere in questi giorni non può prescindere dalla pandemia adesso alla sua terza ondata. Il Covid-19 non solamente ha inciso sui comportamenti quotidiani costringendo a lunghi periodi di isolamento, combinando le modalità del lavoro e delle comunicazioni, sconvolgendo le abitudini e le relazioni all’interno delle famiglie, dei gruppi e delle comunità; ma ha suscitato dubbi profondi anche sulle convinzioni più radicate quando ha prospettato la gravità della minaccia che proiettava sulla stessa esistenza della specie umana. L’effetto, nella nostra comunità scientifica, è stato quello di verificare teorie e programmi di ricerca alla luce dell’esigenza di resilienza epidemica, un pericolo che sembrava archiviato nella storia dell’urbanistica di due secoli fa. Anche forma e l’organizzazione delle città, che non sono estranee alle cause e intensità delle nocive conseguenze di società molto energivore e dissipatrici di risorse naturali, tornano in discussione.

description: È dalla conferenza mondiale sul clima del 1979 a Ginevra che si è cominciato a mettere in evidenza la questione del cambiamento climatico. Nel 1992 a Rio de Janeiro si confermava questo allarme e poi si ribadiva, qualche anno dopo, la centralità della questione a Kyoto, nel 1997. Insomma è sorprendente rilevare come della sfida del cambiamento climatico e della necessità di uno “sviluppo sostenibile” si parlava diffusamente ormai dagli anni ’90. Ma cosa è stato concretamente realizzato di sostenibile nel corso di tanti anni? In generale ed in particolare nel nostro Paese? Per esempio, qual è la reale coerenza tra le tante dichiarazioni solenni che si trovano negli Statuti (regionali, provinciali/metropolitani e comunali) e le scelte concrete di uso/trasformazione del territorio realizzate? Tra lo status quo e ciò che era percepito come complessivamente desiderabile?

description: In Europa, negli ultimi vent’anni, il verde è diventato un elemento essenziale della pianificazione sia a scala metropolitana che comunale. Dal piano delle infrastrutture verdi di Londra al Piano verde-blu di Malmö (Svezia) si sono moltiplicati i casi in Europa a dimostrazione che oramai in Europa la pianificazione del verde rappresenta una leva strategica per la qualità della vita nelle aree urbane. In Italia, invece, la pianificazione del verde assume un ruolo marginale. Uno degli strumenti innovativi, ma poco utilizzato dai nostri comuni, è il Piano del verde urbano, uno strumento facoltativo, introdotto dalla L. 10/2013. Una soluzione più utile per la pianificazione comunale potrebbe essere quella di rendere l’elaborazione del piano verde integrata alla pianificazione comunale. Si vuole pertanto illustrarne i contenuti metodologici che porterebbero diventare obbligatori nella pianificazione urbanistica ordinaria dei nostri comuni.

description: Background: Conclusions of the recent NICE technology appraisal of treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) differ from recommendations by other Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agencies, such as the Scottish Medicines Consortium (CMS) and the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC). NICE did not identify differences on grounds of clinical effectiveness between treatment options studied and issued technology guidance based on clinical profiles of compounds and on drug acquisition costs. The aim of the present study was to explore the robustness of NICE assessment methods when addressing a complex clinical problem such as the evaluation of ADHD treatment strategies. This robustness will be of interest to international policy-makers, given the widespread perception of NICE as a role model for the implementation of HTAs including economic evaluation. Methods: A qualitative case study was performed to critically appraise the technology assessment report (AR) underlying NICE conclusions, including a systematic search for and analysis of relevant literature. Results: The AR produced on behalf of NICE was found to exhibit a range of anomalies. Search criteria were not applied consistently, and the available clinical evidence was not used optimally; selection of clinical endpoints and clinical trials for analysis were idiosyncratic. The primary cost–effectiveness model relied on six short-term studies only, and secondary extensions combined heterogeneous study designs and different clinical endpoints. Neither the distinction between efficacy and effectiveness nor the role of treatment compliance in ADHD was addressed adequately. Long-term extensions of the model were impaired by use of inappropriate discount rates and absence of consideration of long-term sequelae associated with ADHD. Conclusion: A review of the literature strongly suggests that the NICE assessment of ADHD treatment strategies was incomplete and likely prone to bias. It is concluded that NICE did not adequately accommodate a complex clinical decision problem. Although the present qualitative case study of one assessment cannot, and was not designed to, invalidate the NICE approach to economic evaluation of healthcare programs, this observation may have potentially far-reaching implications for the generalizability of NICE-like approaches.

description: [Ni(HF$_2$)(3-Clpyridine)$_4$]BF$_4$ (NBCT) is a one-dimensional, $S = 1$ spin chain material that shows no magnetic neutron Bragg peaks down temperatures of 0.1 K. Previous work identified NBCT to be in the Haldane phase and near a quantum phase transition as a function of $D/J$ to the large-$D$ quantum paramagnet phase (QPM), where $D$ is the axial single-ion anisotropy and $J$ is the intrachain superexchange. Herein, inelastic neutron scattering results are presented on partially deuterated, $^{11}$B enriched NBCT polycrystalline samples in zero magnetic field and down to temperatures of 0.3 K. Comparison to density matrix renormalization group calculations yields $D/J = 1.51$ and a significant rhombic single-ion anisotropy $E$ ($E/D \approx 0.03$, $E/J \approx 0.05$). These $D$, $J$, and $E$ values place NBCT in the large-$D$ QPM phase but precipitously near a quantum phase transition to a long-range ordered phase.

description: Le città metropolitane italiane rappresentano la punta più avanzata di un territorio fondato storicamente sui centri urbani. Ad esse è assegnato un ruolo di primo piano nel processo di evoluzione del Paese. Per contribuire a questo processo è fondamentale incrementarne l’efficienza. Un compito primario nella riuscita di questo processo è nelle mani della pianificazione, strategica e territoriale, e nella costruzione di strumenti che incorporino gli elementi più innovativi nella gestione del territorio metropolitano, in una visione di efficienza, di funzionalità e di sostenibilità. Per questo motivo il Piano Territoriale Generale assume una importanza sostanziale, in quanto contenitore di previsioni che devono essere contemporaneamente strategiche e tattiche, visionarie e vincolanti, flessibili e rigide, capaci, di volta in volta, di individuare le decisioni da prendere e di rispondere alle aspettative della comunità metropolitana.

description: The relation between random normal matrices and conformal mappings discovered by Wiegmann and Zabrodin is made rigorous by restricting normal matrices to have spectrum in a bounded set. It is shown that for a suitable class of potentials the asymptotic density of eigenvalues is uniform with support in the interior domain of a simple smooth curve.

More precisely, let $n_1$, $n_2$ be positive even integers, let $I(n_1,n_2)=\{1,\dots,n_1\}\times\{1,\dots,n_2\}$ be the $n_1\times n_2$ grid, let $d$ be the $L_1$ metric on $I(n_1,n_2)$, and let $N=\{\{x,y\}\in I(n_1,n_2)\times I(n_1,n_2):d(x,y)=1\}$ be the set of neighbors in $I(n_1,n_2)$. We characterize all permutations $π$ of $I(n_1,n_2)$ that maximize $\sum_{\{x,y\}\in N} d(π(x),π(y))$.

description: We construct the Baxter Q-operator and the representation of the Separated Variables (SoV) for the homogeneous open SL(2,R) spin chain. Applying the diagrammatical approach, we calculate Sklyanin's integration measure in the separated variables and obtain the solution to the spectral problem for the model in terms of the eigenvalues of the Q-operator. We show that the transition kernel to the SoV representation is factorized into the product of certain operators each depending on a single separated variable. As a consequence, it has a universal pyramid-like form that has been already observed for various quantum integrable models such as periodic Toda chain, closed SL(2,R) and SL(2,C) spin chains.

Year: 2021

description: Con l’esplosione del trasporto automobilistico, sono venuti alla luce tutti gli effetti negativi della mobilità individuale motorizzata; pertanto si è affermato alla fine del secolo scorso un approccio alla pianificazione urbanistica denominato Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) che punta ad integrare la pianificazione dell’uso del suolo con la programmazione delle reti di trasporto, in primo luogo trasporto su ferro. Numerose città e aree metropolitane hanno iniziato a utilizzare il TOD come principio-guida nelle strategie di pianificazione, in alcuni casi sostenute da un quadro normativo e istituzionale in cui i principi del TOD sono riconosciuti come validi strumenti per migliorare la sostenibilità degli insediamenti. Questa ricerca si propone di analizzare l’attuale quadro normativo e di programmazione in materia di pianificazione urbanistico-territoriale e trasporti in Italia e – in particolare – in Regione Campania, per valutare se e in che misura i provvedimenti normativi – e gli strumenti di pianificazione vigenti – tengono conto delle recenti tendenze internazionali in sostegno di politiche TOD.

description: L’esigenza di innovare la forma di piano nasce tanto dal mutare degli obiettivi dell’urbanistica attuale quanto dall’evoluzione dei metodi e teorie della pianificazione tradotti in pratiche con lo stimolo proveniente dall’Europa. Questo saggio discute le convinzioni che hanno animato diverse correnti di pensiero e gli effetti che hanno avuto nella professione urbanistica. Da questa esplorazione critica ricava alcuni principi di fondo utili a realizzare una pianificazione urbanistica più efficace e più capace di trattare con l’incertezza. Si sofferma in particolar modo sulla ripartizione in strutturale ed operativo del piano urbanistico con una completa reinterpretazione dei termini correnti, anche se fondata sulla comprensione delle motivazioni che ne hanno alimentato la definizione in alcuni passaggi chiave culturali e normativi in Italia. Parole chiave: urbanistica, rigenerazione, processi decisionali

Production of light nuclei at colliders -- coalescence vs. thermal model

description: The production of light nuclei in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is well described by both the thermal model, where light nuclei are in equilibrium with hadrons of all species present in a fireball, and by the coalescence model, where light nuclei are formed due to final-state interactions after the fireball decays. We present and critically discuss the two models and further on we consider two proposals to falsify one of the models. The first proposal is to measure a yield of exotic nuclide $^4{\rm Li}$ and compare it to that of $^4{\rm He}$. The ratio of yields of the nuclides is quite different in the thermal and coalescence models. The second proposal is to measure a hadron-deuteron correlation function which carries information whether a deuteron is emitted from a fireball together with all other hadrons, as assumed in the thermal model, or a deuteron is formed only after nucleons are emitted, as in the coalescence model. The $p\! -\!^3{\rm He}$ correlation function is of interest in context of both proposals: it is needed to obtain the yield of $^4{\rm Li}$ which decays into $p$ and $^3{\rm He}$, but the correlation function can also tell us about an origin of $^3{\rm He}$.
