description: Questo lavoro è consistito in una ricerca-azione per verificare se lo sviluppo di competenze sociali caratteristiche dell'Educazione allo Sviluppo Sostenibile favorisse l'aumento del benessere individuale e l'unità di un gruppo di bambini di Scuola dell'Infanzia. I risultati hanno mostrato che l'acquisizione di queste competenze, tratte dal profilo proposto da é21, ha accompagnato quella di strumenti da usare nella vita di cittadino rispettoso e consapevole, favorita dalla scoperta di se stessi mediante il confronto diretto tra valori e saperi. Inizialmente l'unità dei bambini è stata cercata mediante uscite sul territorio che permettessero la scoperta collettiva dello spazio, dall'importanza da tutti riconosciuta degli spazi verdi e del far parte di una comunità. Tuttavia, il non raggiungimento di una visione complessiva e condivisa del territorio ha ostacolato l'iniziale processo di unione. Si è quindi tornati in aula per individuare attività che favorissero il riconoscimento di interessi comuni interni alla scuola ma derivanti dal territorio, e che potessero quindi essere soddisfatti da nuove uscite: orto, alimentazione, osservazioni scientifiche. I risultati sono stati verificati qualitativamente, con discussioni, laboratori e giochi di società (uno creato appositamente per riflettere sull'equilibrio tra spazi verdi ed edificati, arrivando a un modello dell'intero paese) e quantitativamente, mediante un'indagine statistica del linguaggio con il software IRaMuTeQ.

description: Nonlinear planning and scheduling models for crude-oil atmospheric and vacuum distillation units are essential to manage increased complexities and narrow margins present in the petroleum industry. Traditionally, conventional swing-cut modeling is based on fixed yields with fixed properties for the hypothetical cuts that swing between adjacent light and heavy distillates, which can subsequently lead to inaccuracies in the predictions of both its quantity and quality. A new extension is proposed to better predict quantities and qualities for the distilled products by taking into consideration that we require corresponding light and heavy swing-cuts with appropriately varying qualities. By computing interpolated qualities relative to its light and heavy swing-cut quantities, we can show an improvement in the accuracy of the blended or pooled quality predictions. Additional nonlinear variables and constraints are necessary in the model, but it is shown that these are relatively easy to deal with in the nonlinear optimization

description: Dopo un’attenta analisi delle teorie e dei costrutti teorici che caratterizzano gli aspetti pedagogici legati alla motivazione, si è deciso di proseguire sviluppando uno strumento didattico basato sull’autodeterminazione. Con questo studio sperimentale è stata indagata l’efficacia di tale strumento nello stimolare la motivazione e promuovere i bisogni psicologici degli allievi, quali il senso di autonomia, competenza e relazioni interpersonali. Per sviluppare l’indagine è stato selezionato un campione di 24 allievi di seconda media ai quali sono stati somministrati due questionari, uno prima e uno dopo l’intervento didattico. La raccolta dei dati ha permesso di comprendere le percezioni emotive degli allievi e le implicazioni didattiche che questa modalità di apprendimento può offrire nel contesto di un itinerario di Parkour. I risultati dello studio hanno fornito ulteriori insights che trascendono la mera finalità dell’indagine, dimostrandosi efficaci anche nel promuovere un ambiente educativo motivante e coinvolgente. Questo incoraggia l’implementazione di ulteriori ricerche nel settore dell’educazione, evidenziando l’importanza di sostenere strategie pedagogiche che mettano gli allievi al centro del processo di apprendimento, facilitando così il loro sviluppo personale e accademico.

description: Vector Quantization, VQ is a popular image compression technique with a simple decoding architecture and high compression ratio. Codebook designing is the most essential part in Vector Quantization. LindeBuzoGray, LBG is a traditional method of generation of VQ Codebook which results in lower PSNR value. A Codebook affects the quality of image compression, so the choice of an appropriate codebook is a must. Several optimization techniques have been proposed for global codebook generation to enhance the quality of image compression. In this paper, a novel algorithm called IDE-LBG is proposed which uses Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm coupled with LBG for generating optimum VQ Codebooks. The proposed IDE works better than the traditional DE with modifications in the scaling factor and the boundary control mechanism. The IDE generates better solutions by efficient exploration and exploitation of the search space. Then the best optimal solution obtained by the IDE is provided as the initial Codebook for the LBG. This approach produces an efficient Codebook with less computational time and the consequences include excellent PSNR values and superior quality reconstructed images. It is observed that the proposed IDE-LBG find better VQ Codebooks as compared to IPSO-LBG, BA-LBG and FA-LBG.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating musculoskeletal condition that affected over 595 million people worldwide in 2020. It is a multifactorial disease where underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Currently, no drugs are available for the treatment of OA, only analgesics and eventually, joint replacement through a highly invasive surgery. CaMKII has been shown to have an important role in bone development, and more recently has been implicated in OA. However, the role of CaMKII in chondrocytes is still poorly understood. This study used recombinant adenoviruses to modulate the activity of CaMKIIγ in human articular chondrocytes. We used multiple established molecular biology techniques, as well techniques specific to the articular cartilage, to uncover how CaMKII modulates both chondrocyte homeostasis and metabolism. Using the recombinant adenoviruses that we generated, amplified, and validated, we discovered that CaMKII plays a central role in various metabolic processes within articular chondrocytes. These processes include the promotion of anabolism, autophagy, and chondrocyte hypertrophy. Additionally, CaMKII contributes to cholesterol accumulation by inhibiting its efflux and alters the abundance of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels.The research presented in this body of work has identified several novel roles for CaMKII within articular chondrocytes. With further investigation into how the pathways modulated by CaMKII are linked, there may be an opportunity to harness the anabolic activity induced by CaMKII in the treatment of OA.
Highlights from STAR heavy ion program

description: Recent experimental results obtained in STAR experiment at the Relativistic heavy-ion collider (RHIC) with ion beams will be discussed. Investigations of different nuclear collisions in some recent years focus on two main tasks, namely, detail study of quark-gluon matter properties and exploration of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram. Results at top RHIC energy show clearly the collective behavior of heavy quarks in nucleus-nucleus interactions. Jet and heavy hadron measurements lead to new constraints for energy loss models for various flavors. Heavy-ion collisions are unique tool for the study of topological properties of theory as well as the magneto-hydrodynamics of strongly interacting matter. Experimental results obtained for discrete QCD symmetries at finite temperatures confirm indirectly the topologically non-trivial structure of QCD vacuum. Finite global vorticity observed in non-central Au+Au collisions can be considered as important signature for presence of various chiral effects in sQGP. Most results obtained during stage I of the RHIC beam energy scan (BES) program show smooth behavior vs initial energy. However certain results suggest the transition in the domain of dominance of hadronic degrees of freedom at center-of-mass energies between 10--20 GeV. The stage II of the BES at RHIC will occur in 2019--2020 and will explore with precision measurements in the domain of the QCD phase diagram with high baryon densities. Future developments and more precise studies of features of QCD phase diagram in the framework of stage II of RHIC BES will be briefly discussed.

description: Several novel treatments have been approved for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) since chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy became available. The objective of this study was to describe characteristics and treatment patterns in patients with R/R DLBCL post-CAR-T approval. Adult patients with R/R DLBCL who initiated third-line treatment or later (3 L+) since 18 October 2017 were identified using administrative claims from IQVIA PharMetrics Plus (1 January 2014–31 March 2020). Treatments were categorized as chemotherapy/chemoimmunotherapy (CT/CIT), targeted therapies, CAR-T and stem cell transplant (SCT). Treatment distribution, treatment duration of CT/CIT and targeted therapies, and initiation of next-line therapy were described for patients receiving 3 L; analyses were repeated for 4 L. A total of 145 patients received 3 L between 18 October 2017 and 31 March 2020. Mean age was 57 years, and 34% were female. CT/CIT (44.9%), targeted therapies (26.9%), CAR-T (17.2%) and SCT (11.0%) were administered in 3 L. The median treatment duration was 2.9 months for CT/CIT and targeted therapies combined. 31% of patients initiated 4 L within a median follow-up of 5.8 months. Among patients who received 4 L (N = 55), targeted therapies were most commonly used (36.4%), and the median treatment duration was 2.5 months. Post-CAR-T approval, the majority of patients were treated with CT/CIT or targeted therapies in 3 L and 4 L, though most of the targeted therapies prescribed are not indicated for DLBCL. Treatment duration was short. A high proportion of patients moved to the next line of therapy (LOT) during a short follow-up period. This study highlights the unmet need for more effective treatments for patients with R/R DLBCL in 3 L+.

description: We report an experimental approach to making multifilament coated conductors with low losses in applied time-varying magnetic field. Previously, the multifilament conductors obtained for that purpose by laser ablation suffered from high coupling losses. Here we report how this problem can be solved. When the substrate metal in the grooves segregating the filaments is exposed to oxygen, it forms high resistivity oxides that electrically insulate the stripes from each other and from the substrate. As the result, the coupling loss has become negligible over the entire range of tested parameters (magnetic field amplitudes B and frequencies f) available to us.

Impertinenti ma belli!

description: La bellezza, grazie alla sua forza e al suo potere, è motivo di studi e ricerche sin da tempi remoti. Oggi giorno, grazie a diverse correnti filosofiche e allo sviluppo della psicologia, si da un luogo privilegiato alla bellezza, elevandola a sentimento e componente fondamentale della vita emotiva e della costruzione di conoscenze. Saper riconoscere il bello, avere delicatezza dell’immaginazione, sensibilità, è fondamentale per poter inoltre costruire la propria identità. L’arte offre una occasione unica per imparare ad apprezzare il bello (e il brutto). Attraverso l’arte ci si apre al modo. Il docente dovrebbe trovare le strategie oportune per dare la chiave dell’interpretazione ai bambini. I dadaisti sono stati tra i primi artisti del‘900 a rinunciare all’imposizione di un modello di bellezza e, con le loro opere provocatorie, hanno stravolto il concetto stesso di opera d’arte. L’espressione e la rappresentazione del bambino sono al centro del progetto didattico di questo testo. Attraverso il pensiero laterale, il bambino cerca in profondità, non si ferma allo stereotipo. Propongo diverse attività per stimolare i bambini a guardare con attenzione, a usare il loro pensiero laterale. Concludo il percorso con un laboratorio per la trasformazione impertinente di un oggetto.

description: PG 2131+066 is a composite-spectrum binary with a hot pulsating PG 1159-type pre-white dwarf and an early M-type main sequence star. Analysis of Whole Earth Telescope observations of the pulsating pre-white dwarf component provided an asteroseismological determination of its mass, luminosity, and effective temperature. These determinations allowed Kawaler et al. (1995) to determine the distance to this star. In this paper, we refine the asteroseismological distance determination, and confirm the distance by an independent measurement to the system via the spectroscopic parallax of the M star. PG 2131+066 was observed by the HST using the original PC in September 1993. Exposures with filters F785LP and F555W both showed the companion at a distance of 0.3 arc seconds. Photometry of the images provides an apparent magnitude for the main sequence companion of v=18.97+/-0.15, from which we find a distance of 560 (+200 -134) pc. We also recalculated the asteroseismological distance to the pre-white dwarf using updated models and new spectroscopic constraints from UV spectra. The new seismological distance is 668 (+78 -83) pc, in satisfactory agreement with the distance of the secondary star. These results suggest that this is indeed a physical binary, and that seismological distance determination may be the best way to determine the distance to the pulsating hot pre-white dwarf stars.

We describe measurements of the PVD of galaxies in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey as a function of projected separation and galaxy luminosity. Due to the faint magnitude limit ($r < 19.8$) and highly-complete spectroscopic sampling of the GAMA survey, we are able to reliably measure the PVD to smaller scales ($r_\bot = 0.01$ Mpc/h) than previous work.

description: In this work, we present a new Big-M reformulation for Generalized Disjunctive Programs. The proposed MINLP reformulation is stronger than the traditional Big-M, and it does not require additional variables or constraints. We present the new Big-M, and analyze the strength in its continuous relaxation compared to that of the traditional Big-M. The new formulation is tested by solving several instances of process networks and muli-product batch plant problems with an NLP-based branch and bound method. The results show that, in most cases, the new reformulation requires fewer nodes and less time to find the optimal solution.

A numerical singularity checking method is suggested to detect the singularity or the near singularity of a matrix and to identify the equations responsible for the singularity or near singularity. An exact numerical differentiation method is also suggested to generate elements of the Jacobian matrix and the equations needed. The potential use of the existing algebraic equation and ODE/DAE solvers in constructing a solver for index and near index problems is also studied. With the numerical method suggested in this paper, index and near index problems can be numerically and automatically solved."

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να παρουσιάσει την πορεία του Ισλάμ στην Κίνα από την αυτοκρατορική εποχή μέχρι σήμερα υπό την ηγεσία του προέδρου του Κομμουνιστικού Κόμματος Xi Jinping, καθώς και τις αλλαγές που έχει βιώσει κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της μακραίωνης παρουσίας του στη χώρα. Επιπλέον, παρουσιάζεται η θέση του Ισλάμ σήμερα στον πολιτισμό και της κοινωνία της Κίνας, ειδικά όσον αφορά τις θρησκευτικές πτυχές του, και το πώς αυτές ανακλώνται στο κινεζικό περιβάλλον αλλά και το βαθμό που έχουν επηρεαστεί από τον κυρίαρχο κινεζικό πολιτισμό. Παράλληλα διερευνάται το πώς, σε πολιτικό επίπεδο, το Ισλάμ ως εθνική μειονότητα, τυγχάνει κάποιων διευκολύνσεων από την κυβέρνηση εφόσον η στάση των μουσουλμάνων δεν θεωρείται προκλητική και ανταγωνιστική του κράτους. Αυτό βέβαια δεν ισχύει για όλες τις μουσουλμανικές κοινότητες της Κίνας, με χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα την Xinjiang (Σινγιάνγκ), όπου παρατηρείται διαφορετική αντιμετώπιση από τη σημερινή κυβέρνηση των μουσουλμάνων αυτής της περιοχής, πολιτική η οποία εν πολλοίς βασίζεται σε λόγους κυρίως οικονομικούς και γεωπολιτικούς.
description: The purpose of this paper is to present the course of Islam in China from the imperial era until today under the leadership of the president of the Communist Party Xi Jinping, as well as the changes it has experienced during this long presence in the country. In addition, the place of Islam today in Chinese culture and society is presented, especially in terms of its religious aspects, and how these are reflected in the Chinese environment and the extent to which they have been influenced by the dominant Chinese culture. At the same time, it investigates how, on a political level, Islam, as a national minority, receives some facilities from the government since the attitude of Muslims is not considered provocative and antagonistic to the state. Of course, this does not apply to all Muslim communities in China, with Xinjiang as a typical example, where Muslims in this region are treated differently by the current government, a policy which is largely based on economic and geopolitical reasons.

description: Microstructure and mechanical properties of bulk polycristalline rhombohedral boron subnitride B13N2 synthesized by crystallization from the B-BN melt at 7 GPa have been systematically studied by micro- and nanoindentation, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The obtained data on hardness, elastic properties and fracture toughness clearly indicate that B13N2 belongs to a family of superhard phases and can be considered as a promising superabrasive or binder for cubic boron nitride.

description: [1] The effects of climate change on ozone and PM2.5 concentrations over the eastern United States were investigated using the Global-Regional Coupled Air Pollution modeling System (GRE-CAPS). GRE-CAPS consists of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) II' general circulation model with aerosol processes and ozone chemistry, the fifth-generation PSU/NCAR mesoscale model (MM5) regional meteorological model, and the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) with aerosol (PM) processes developed at Carnegie Mellon University (PMCAMx) regional chemical transport model. A set of five present-day Januaries and six present-day Julys was simulated using GRE-CAPS. The present-day model predictions (2000s) were compared to model predictions for a set of five future Januaries and Julys. The future time period investigated was the 2050s, using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change A2 scenario. U.S. emissions of biogenic and anthropogenic precursors were held constant so that the effects of climate change alone could be calculated. Climate change led to a decrease in U.S. land cell average January PM2.5 concentrations of 0.3 μg m−3 and an increase of July PM2.5 of 2.5 μg m−3. The changes in PM in the Northeast were of the opposite sign of the domain-wide averages. The response in January was due largely to increased precipitation, while the response in July was due primarily to decreased ventilation, as indicated by decreases in mixing height and wind speed, with increases in sulfate being the largest response by a single species. The U.S. land cell average change in July daily maximum 8-h ozone concentration was +1.7 ppb, though the increases in cities in the Southeast were up to 15 ppb. In spite of the large differences in ozone in many areas, the changes in ozone concentration were not statistically significant over most of the domain because of large interannual variability. In separate simulations to test the sensitivity of ozone concentrations to biogenic emissions, a 25% increase in biogenic U.S. volatile organic compound emissions led to an additional increase in land cell average ozone of 0.7 ppb, though the increased ozone resulting from increased biogenics was largely statistically insignificant.

description: Motivated by a real-world industrial problem, this work deals with the integration of planning and scheduling in the operation of a network of batch plants. The network consists of single-stage, multiproduct batch plants located in different sites, which can exchange intermediate products in order to blend them to obtain finished products. The time horizon is given and divided into multiple time periods, at the end of which, the customer demands have to be exactly satisfied. The planning model is a simplified and aggregate formulation derived from the detailed precedence-based scheduling formulation. Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) constraints are incorporated at the planning level in order to predict the sequence-dependent changeovers between groups of products, within and across time periods, without requiring the detailed timing of operations, which is performed at the scheduling level. In an effort to avoid solving the full-space, rigorous scheduling model, especially for large problem sizes, two decomposition strategies are investigated: Bilevel and Temporal Lagrangean. We demonstrate that Bilevel Decomposition is efficient for small to medium problem instances and that further decomposition of the planning problem, yielding a hybrid decomposition scheme, is advantageous for tackling a large-scale industrial test case.

description: Our manuscript investigates a self-consistent solution of the statistical atom model proposed by Berthold-Georg Englert and Julian Schwinger (the ES model) and benchmarks it against atomic Kohn-Sham and two orbital-free models of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD)-$λ$vW family. Results show that the ES model generally offers the same accuracy as the well-known TFD-$\frac{1}{5}$vW model; however, the ES model corrects the failure in Pauli potential near-nucleus region. We also point to the inability of describing low-$Z$ atoms as the foremost concern in improving the present model.

description: Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory within the first order formalism is considered with a view to deriving the propagator Dyson-Schwinger equations. The first order formalism is studied with special emphasis on the BRS invariance and it is found that there exists two forms of invariance - invariance under the standard BRS transform and under a second, non-standard transform. The field equations of motion and symmetries are derived explicitly and certain exact relations that simplify the formalism are presented. It is shown that the Ward-Takahashi identity arising from invariance under the non-standard part of the BRS transform is guaranteed by the functional equations of motion. The Feynman rules and the general decomposition of the two-point Green's functions are derived. The propagator Dyson-Schwinger equations are derived and certain aspects (energy independence of ghost Green's functions and the cancellation of energy divergences) are discussed.

description: In recent years numerous R&D strategies have been proposed for the establishment of sustainable CCU technology chains, so to boost an effective recycle of carbon dioxide in presence of green hydrogen for the production of bulk chemicals or fuels [1]. In this framework, particular interest has been addressed to the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 into dimethyl ether (DME), requiring a hybrid catalyst for the direct DME synthesis in one step, wherein a methanol-synthesis phase (CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 or CuO-ZnO-ZrO2) and a methanol dehydration phase (typically zeolites) are closely integrated [2]. Nevertheless, the catalyst performance and its lifetime are strongly limited by water formed during the process, so that the efforts on novel system architectures, nature and location of active sites, even probed in a large set of experimental conditions, do not allow to overcome the equilibrium restrictions preventing their industrial scale-up [3].

In this work, we investigated the intensification effect prompted by the combination of in situ water adsorbent agents (like zeolites) with a previously optimized hybrid Cu-ZnOZrO2/MFI system [2,3], so to demonstrate how the effective removal of water from the reaction medium can shift the equilibrium of CO2 conversion to more favourable values, also determining a higher DME productivity.

description: A phase field model of a crystalline material at the mesoscale is introduced to develop the necessary theoretical framework to study plastic flow due to dislocation motion. We first obtain the elastic stress from the phase field free energy and show that it obeys the stress strain relation of linear elasticity. Dislocations in a two dimensional hexagonal lattice are shown to be composite topological defects in the amplitude expansion of the phase field, with topological charges given by the Burgers vector. This allows us to introduce a formal relation between dislocation velocity and the evolution of the coarse grained envelopes of the phase field. Standard dissipative dynamics of the phase field crystal model is shown to determine the velocity of the dislocations. When the amplitude equation is valid, we derive the Peach-Koehler force on a dislocation, and compute the associated defect mobility. A numerical integration of the phase field crystal equations in two dimensions is used to compute the motion of a dislocation dipole, and good agreement is found with the theoretical predictions.

description: In the mixed state of an extreme type-II d-wave superconductor and within a broad regime of weak magnetic fields H_c1 << H << H_c2, the low energy Bogoliubov-deGennes quasiparticles can be effectively described as Dirac fermions moving in the field of singular scalar and vector potentials. Although the effective linearized Hamiltonian operator formally does not depend on the structure of vortex cores, a singular nature of the perturbation requires choosing a self-adjoint extension of the Hamiltonian by imposing additional boundary conditions at vortex locations. Each vortex is described by a single parameter θthat effectively represents all effects arising from the physics beyond linearization. With the value of θproperly fixed, the resulting density of states of Dirac Hamiltonian exhibits full invariance under arbitrary singular gauge transformations applied at vortex positions. We identify the self-adjoint extensions of the solutions found earlier, within the framework of the linearized Hamiltonian diagonalized by expansion in the plane wave basis, and analyze the relation between fully self-consistent formulation of the problem and the linearized model.
