description: The possibility to align and organize faceted particles in the bulk offers intriguing possibilities for the design and discovery of materials and architectures exhibiting novel functional properties. The growth of ice crystals can be used to trigger the self-assembly of large, anisotropic particles and consequently to obtain three-dimensional porous materials of large dimensions in a limited amount of time. These mechanisms have not been explored so far due to the difficulty to experimentally investigate these systems. Here we elucidate the self-assembly mechanisms of faceted particles driven by ice growth by a combination of X-ray holotomography and discrete element modeling, providing insights into both the dynamics of self-assembly and their final packing. The encapsulation of particles is the result of a delicate balance between the force exerted by the percolating network of concentrated particles and the force exerted by the moving interface. We illustrate the benefits of such self-assembly for thermal management composite materials.

description: Histone H3 lysine 36 methylation (H3K36me) is thought to participate in a host of co-transcriptional regulatory events. To study the function of this residue independent from the enzymes that modify it, we used a ‘histone replacement’ system in Drosophila to generate a non-modifiable H3K36 lysine-to-arginine (H3K36R) mutant. We observed global dysregulation of mRNA levels in H3K36R animals that correlates with the incidence of H3K36me3. Similar to previous studies, we found that mutation of H3K36 also resulted in H4 hyperacetylation. However, neither cryptic transcription initiation, nor alternative pre-mRNA splicing, contributed to the observed changes in expression, in contrast with previously reported roles for H3K36me. Interestingly, knockdown of the RNA surveillance nuclease, Xrn1, and members of the CCR4-Not deadenylase complex, restored mRNA levels for a class of downregulated, H3K36me3-rich genes. We propose a post-transcriptional role for modification of replication-dependent H3K36 in the control of metazoan gene expression.

description: Enhancing the polarization of nuclear spins surrounding the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has attracted widespread attention recently due to its various applications. Here we present an analytical theory and comprehensive understanding on how to optimize the dynamic nuclear polarization by an optically pumped NV center near the ground state level anticrossing. Our results not only provide a parameter-free explanation and a clearly physics picture for the recently observed polarization dependence on the magnetic field for strongly coupled $^{13}$C nuclei [H. J. Wang \textit{et al}., Nat. Commun. 4, 1 (2013)], but also demonstrate the possibility to strongly polarize weakly coupled $^{13}$C nuclei under weak optical pumping and suitably chosen magnetic field. This allows sensitive magnetic control of the $^{13}$C nuclear spin polarization for NMR applications and significant suppression of the $^{13}$C nuclear spin noise to prolong the NV spin coherence time.

Comparing allosteric transitions in the domains of calmodulin through coarse-grained simulations

description: Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous calcium binding protein consisting of two structurally similar domains with distinct stabilities, binding affinities, and flexibilities. We present coarse grained simulations that suggest the mechanism for the domain's allosteric transitions between the open and closed conformations depend on subtle differences in the folded state topology of the two domains. Throughout a wide temperature range, the simulated transition mechanism of the N-terminal domain (nCaM) follows a two-state transition mechanism while domain opening in the C-terminal domain (cCaM) involves unfolding and refolding of the tertiary structure. The appearance of the unfolded intermediate occurs at a higher temperature in nCaM than it does in cCaM consistent with nCaM's higher thermal stability. Under approximate physiological conditions, the simulated unfolded state population of cCaM accounts for 10% of the population with nearly all of the sampled transitions (approximately 95%) unfolding and refolding during the conformational change. Transient unfolding significantly slows the domain opening and closing rates of cCaM. This potentially influences the mechanism of calcium binding to each domain.

La fuorviante utopia degli Stati Uniti d’Europa
Creators: name: Bolaffi, Angelo

description: The present European crisis is the consequence of a momentous world transformation to which the old European federalist doctrine has been unable to find adequate responses. We know that only by joining forces can the European countries face the globalization challenge: so as to manage to preserve not only their unique social model, but also the institutional and cultural achievements that are the most admirable heritage of their history and their distinctive contribution to world civilization. How is this task to be carried out? Not by the generous utopian proposal of the United States of Europe, for this requires a centralization of sovereignty at present unacceptable to the national States. Rather, by a new “material constitution” based on the only outstanding example successful in combining social justice and economic efficiency: the German model. Unified Germany has already been leading the path to these objectives by its principles of social market economy and by leaving its imprint on the European Central Bank.

description: Increased tonic activity of locus coeruleus noradrenergic (LC-NE) neurons induces anxiety-like and aversive behavior. While some information is known about the afferent circuitry that endogenously drives this neural activity and behavior, the downstream receptors and anatomical projections that mediate these acute risk aversive behavioral states via the LC-NE system remain unresolved. Here we use a combination of retrograde tracing, fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, electrophysiology, and in vivo optogenetics with localized pharmacology to identify neural substrates downstream of increased tonic LC-NE activity in mice. We demonstrate that photostimulation of LC-NE fibers in the BLA evokes norepinephrine release in the basolateral amygdala (BLA), alters BLA neuronal activity, conditions aversion, and increases anxiety-like behavior. Additionally, we report that β-adrenergic receptors mediate the anxiety-like phenotype of increased NE release in the BLA. These studies begin to illustrate how the complex efferent system of the LC-NE system selectively mediates behavior through distinct receptor and projection-selective mechanisms.
The Lost Telos of Europe: Filling the Gap between Past and Future

description: This paper proposes a genealogical reflection on Europe and on its spiritual roots, trying to avoid both a naive Europeanism and an equally naive Euroscepticism. On the basis of Husserl’s and Patočka’s analysis, we see the essence of Europe in a contigent telos, identifying the common origin of philosophy and politics in the Greek polis and pointing out with Arendt the great challenge of the present generation in a creative reappropriation of tradition, leading to a rediscovery of the public realm. We compare Arendt’s try to reconnect the political concepts back to the intersubjective experience enlivening them with Husserl’s foundation of the European sciences in the lifeworld, finally seeing in the activity of judgement a bridge between philosophy and practice, private and public sphere, as well as a way for a democratic foundation of the common space.

description: Many end users of climate change information often need specialized products to perform their research or data analysis. For example, climate indices, like the standard ones defined by ECA&D and ETCCDI, cover most of the general needs. However, datasets provided on the climate data infrastructure ESGF are climate model output and only provide standard variables, such as temperature and precipitation, and not climate indices, such as the number of summer days or the number of days with heavy precipitation, for example. A python package to calculate climate indices, called icclim https://github.com/cerfacs-globc/icclim, is currently developed within the H2020 IS-ENES3 project, with a strong collaboration with the xclim https://github.com/Ouranosinc/xclim developer team. This package is using xarray and dask for very fast execution and smaller memory footprint. It also aims at providing increasing support for all FAIR aspects. It also provides the possibility to users to define their own climate indices using a pseudo-language close to a Domain Specific Language (DSL), along with proper metadata generation. This tool is integrated in the IS-ENES C4I 2.0 platform (https://dev.climate4impact.eu/), using a Jupyter notebook collection https://gitlab.com/is-enes-cdi-c4i/notebooks in a SWIRRL environment (Software for Interactive Reproducible Research Labs https://gitlab.com/KNMI-OSS/swirrl). Having access to this type of complex analysis tool is very useful, and integrating them with front-ends like C4I enables the use of those tools by a larger number of researchers and end users. Providing those users tools and also datasets of climate indices pre-computed on CMIP6 simulations would be very valuable for those users. Of course all specific needs cannot be taken into account (such as specific seasons, specific reference periods, etc.), but the most general ones can be fulfilled. The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is providing computing and storage resources through the EGI-ACE project, enabling the possibility to compute several climate indices. In this EGI-ACE Use Case, icclim will be used to compute 49 standard climate indices on a large number of CMIP6 simulations, starting with the most used ones. It could also be extended to ERA5 reanalysis, CORDEX and CMIP5 datasets. The resulting climate indices datasets will later be made available in the C4I portal. The tool icclim will be presented, along with preliminary results of the pre-computed climate indices dataset.

description: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have transformed malaria diagnosis. The most prevalent P. falciparum RDTs detect histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2). However, pfhrp2 gene deletions yielding false-negative RDTs, first reported in South America in 2010, have been confirmed in Africa and Asia. We developed a mathematical model to explore the potential for RDT-led diagnosis to drive selection of pfhrp2-deleted parasites. Low malaria prevalence and high frequencies of people seeking treatment resulted in the greatest selection pressure. Calibrating our model against confirmed pfhrp2-deletions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we estimate a starting frequency of 6% pfhrp2-deletion prior to RDT introduction. Furthermore, the patterns observed necessitate a degree of selection driven by the introduction of PfHRP2-based RDT-guided treatment. Combining this with parasite prevalence and treatment coverage estimates, we map the model-predicted spread of pfhrp2-deletion, and identify the geographic regions in which surveillance for pfhrp2-deletion should be prioritised.

description: The description of wind phenomena is frequently based on data obtained from anemometers, which usually report the wind speed and direction only in a horizontal plane. Such measurements are commonly used either to develop wind generation farms or to forecast weather conditions in a geographical region. Beyond these standard applications, the information contained in the data may be richer than expected and may lead to a better understanding of the wind dynamics in a geographical area. In this work we propose a statistical analysis based on the wind velocity vectors, which we propose may be grouped in "wind states" associated to binormal distribution functions. We found that the velocity plane defined by the anemometric velocity data may be used as a phase space, where a finite number of states may be found and sorted using standard clustering methods. The main result is a discretization technique useful to model the wind with Markov chains. We applied such ideas in anemometric data for two different sites in Mexico where the wind resource is considered reliable. The approximated Markov chains of both places give a set of values for transition probabilities and residence times that may be regarded as a signature of the dynamics of the site. We consider the results may impact either the technical decisions for the design of wind generators or the detailed resource assessment in sites with non-standard features.

description: The essay focuses upon some of the major steps that led, in the twentieth century, to the European Union project and, secondly, foreshadows the main aporia of its realisation, as well as its unfulfilled promises. In particular, the author’s attention is dedicated to the concept of “depoliticisation”, i.e. a Europe united only by the Euro and the Central Bank, without any true political decision-making process taking place nor any reference to the great European culture.

description: Past work has suggested that people prescribe optimism—believing it is better to be optimistic, instead of accurate or pessimistic, about uncertain future events. Here, we identified and addressed an important ambiguity about whether those findings reflect an endorsement of biased beliefs—i.e., whether people prescribe likelihood estimates that reflect overoptimism. In three studies, participants (total N = 663 U.S. university students) read scenarios about protagonists facing uncertain events with a desired outcome. Results replicated prescriptions of optimism when using the same solicitations as in past work. However, we found quite different prescriptions when using alternative solicitations that asked about potential bias in likelihood estimations and that did not involve vague terms like “optimistic.” Participants generally prescribed being optimistic, feeling optimistic, and even thinking optimistically about the events, but they did not prescribe overestimating the likelihood of those events.

 Sagot (1883) used the collection Mélinon s.n. to describe H. maroniensis, referring the collection to the herbarium of Paris (P). However, three sheets belonging to this collection are found in this herbarium, apart from one specimen in BR and two others at K. All specimens of this collection deposited at P are labelled with the collection locality and collector, aside from the description of some species characteristics. Here, we selected the specimen P01818703 as lectotype, because it has more abundant and better preserved material.

description: The urokinase receptor (uPAR) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that promotes tissue remodeling, tumor cell adhesion, migration and invasion. uPAR mediates degradation of the extracellular matrix through protease recruitment and enhances cell adhesion, migration and signaling through vitronectin binding and interactions with integrins. Full-length uPAR is released from the cell surface, but the mechanism and significance of uPAR shedding remain obscure. Here we identify transmembrane glycerophosphodiesterase GDE3 as a GPI-specific phospholipase C that cleaves and releases uPAR with consequent loss of function, whereas its homologue GDE2 fails to attack uPAR. GDE3 overexpression depletes uPAR from distinct basolateral membrane domains in breast cancer cells, resulting in a less transformed phenotype, it slows tumor growth in a xenograft model and correlates with prolonged survival in patients. Our results establish GDE3 as a negative regulator of the uPAR signaling network and, furthermore, highlight GPI-anchor hydrolysis as a cell-intrinsic mechanism to alter cell behavior.

description: This project aims to explore the phenomenology of goal directed thought and the effects of monastery based motivation on it in real time. To achieve this task we have used the RAT task to stimulate the thought process. The experiments were conducted through the internet using Psychopy. Participants were required to solve RAT tasks, and to press a button every time they thought of a possible solution. The motivated group was informed that they will receive additional payment for every successful task completed. We compared self report (experience measures: Speed of Thought, Difficulty to think, Effort to think, Mental exhaustion, Eureka feeling and confidence in answer) measures as well as objective measures (Number of clicks). We expect participants in the motivated group to experience more effort and difficulty and to think of more words (More button presses). We do not expect a significant difference in results or the experience of speed or mental exhaustion.

description: We conducted and analyzed the experiment according to the preregistration (10.17605/OSF.IO/PF4TU). The results did not support our hypotheses and the results of the equivalence test were not significant. Furthermore, the effect of smiling was not observed in this study as it was in previous studies. We speculated that two factors inherent in the online experiment may influence the results. Firstly, the mean age of the participants (44.28 years) deviated from the mean age of the participants in the previous study (mean = 20.94). Secondly, the participants in this study may include satisficers because we did not set any ACQ (Attention check question) or IMC (Instructional manipulation check) to detect the satisficers. Therefore, we will conduct a new experiment adding a procedure to the preregistration (10.17605/OSF.IO/PF4TU) that avoids these problems and collects the data again. Specifically, in dealing with the first issue, we set an age limit of 18-30 years old in the recruitment conditions through Yahoo!crowdsourcing services. To deal with the second issue, we add an IMC trial in which participants are presented with an animal picture (i.e., cat) in the middle of the trial and asked to answer a specific age which we indicate . Subsequently, we also ask them to answer what kind of animal is in the picture in an ACQ. Data obtained from participants who made mistakes in the IMC or ACQ will be excluded from the analysis. In addition, outliers of ± 2.5 SD from the participant’s mean in each condition will be removed.

description: Complete and robust human genome duplication requires loading minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase complexes at many DNA replication origins, an essential process termed origin licensing. Licensing is restricted to G1 phase of the cell cycle, but G1 length varies widely among cell types. Using quantitative single-cell analyses, we found that pluripotent stem cells with naturally short G1 phases load MCM much faster than their isogenic differentiated counterparts with long G1 phases. During the earliest stages of differentiation toward all lineages, MCM loading slows concurrently with G1 lengthening, revealing developmental control of MCM loading. In contrast, ectopic Cyclin E overproduction uncouples short G1 from fast MCM loading. Rapid licensing in stem cells is caused by accumulation of the MCM loading protein, Cdt1. Prematurely slowing MCM loading in pluripotent cells not only lengthens G1 but also accelerates differentiation. Thus, rapid origin licensing is an intrinsic characteristic of stem cells that contributes to pluripotency maintenance.

description: We use 350 mu angular diameter estimates from Planck to test the idea that some galaxies contain exceptionally cold (10-13 K) dust, since colder dust implies a lower surface brightness radiation field illuminating the dust, and hence a greater physical extent for a given luminosity. The galaxies identified from their spectral energy distributions as containing cold dust do indeed show the expected larger 350 mu diameters. For a few cold dust galaxies where Herschel data are available we are able to use submillimetre maps or surface brightness profiles to locate the cold dust, which as expected generally lies outside the optical galaxy.

description: Recent events involving two symbols of ancient and modern philosophy, and two capitals of the Idea of Europe – Athens and Paris – suggest the timeliness of this issue of “Phenomenology and Mind” on Philosophy and the future of Europe. In the spirit of the Manifesto di Ventotene philosophy should be conceived of as the very foundation of the European Utopia, and the Charter of Rights of the European Union as the legally binding incarnation of Ancient and Modern Practical Reason. Dignity and Justice are in fact the alpha and omega of this Charter: two values being respectively the source of what is due to the individual person and what is necessary for the good order of society. The core of the Charter hosts the three central values of Modernity and its battles, liberté, égalité, fraternité (Solidarity), plus a fourth one, not yet explicitly referred to in the preceding Declarations and Constitutions: Citizenship, the value hosting all the virtues of Public Ethics, without which no Republic could survive for long under the rule of law.

description: Unlike other human biological fluids, semen contains multiple types of amyloid fibrils in the absence of disease. These fibrils enhance HIV infection by promoting viral fusion to cellular targets, but their natural function remained unknown. The similarities shared between HIV fusion to host cell and sperm fusion to oocyte led us to examine whether these fibrils promote fertilization. Surprisingly, the fibrils inhibited fertilization by immobilizing sperm. Interestingly, however, this immobilization facilitated uptake and clearance of sperm by macrophages, which are known to infiltrate the female reproductive tract (FRT) following semen exposure. In the presence of semen fibrils, damaged and apoptotic sperm were more rapidly phagocytosed than healthy ones, suggesting that deposition of semen fibrils in the lower FRT facilitates clearance of poor-quality sperm. Our findings suggest that amyloid fibrils in semen may play a role in reproduction by participating in sperm selection and facilitating the rapid removal of sperm antigens.

description: We develop a formalism for modelling the impact of dark matter subhaloes on cold thin streams. Our formalism models the formation of a gap in a stream in angle-frequency space and is able to handle general stream and impact geometry. We analyse an $N$-body simulation of a cold stream formed from a progenitor on an eccentric orbit in an axisymmetric potential, which is perturbed by a direct impact from a $10^8 M_\odot$ subhalo, and produce a complete generative model of the perturbed stream that matches the simulation well at a range of times. We show how the results in angle-frequency space can be related to physical properties of the gaps and that previous results for more constrained simulations are recovered. We demonstrate how our results are dependent upon the mass of the subhalo and the location of the impact along the stream. We find that gaps formed far downstream grow more rapidly than those closer to the progenitor due to the more ordered nature of the stream members far from the progenitor. Additionally, we show that the minimum gap density plateaus in time at a value that decreases with increasing subhalo mass.

description: 11. Henriettea spruceana Cogniaux (1888: 530).
 Type:— Brazil “ Habitat in vicinia Manáos prov. Alto Amazonas ”, December 1850 - March 1851, R. Spruce s.n. (lectotype: G-DC00328212!, designated here; isolectotypes: B† [photograph F17260!], E00505289!, GOET007937!, GOET007974!, K000973890!, LD1224570!, MG19679!, NY00228621!, P01818594!, TCD0005312; remaining syntypes: Brazil, “Manáos, Brésil”, November 1851, R. Spruce 3360, BR0000005187935!, P01818593!).
 Cogniaux (1888) described H. spruceana based on two collections, Spruce s.n. and Spruce 3360. Duplicates of these collections can be found in BR, G, GOET, K, LD, MG, NY, and P. Although these specimens do not bear the complete locality citation exactly as seen in the protologue, the specimens at G, GOET, K, and P have partial data of the collection locality, for example, “In vicinibus Barra, Prov. Rio Negro, coll. R. Spruce, Dec.-Mart. 1850-51”. Additionally, the labels contain the name of the species written by Cogniaux. The syntype Spruce s.n. (G-DC00328212) was selected as lectotype, because it better represent the species, with abundant complete flowers (including stamens), and better preserved vegetative and reproductive material.
 It should be noted that Spruce used the same collection number 3360 to record other different specimens (B† [photograph F17262], BR0000005222131, E00505304, G00328210, GH 00072306, K000006405, K000006406, MG 19681, NY 00228619, P01818653), which were analyzed by Triana (1871) to describe Henriettea granulata, a species morphologically distinct from H. spruceana.

description: Two-color fluorescence co-localization in 3D (three-dimension) has the potential to achieve accurate measurements at the nanometer length scale. Here, we optimized a 3D fluorescence co-localization method that uses mean values for chromatic aberration correction to yield the mean separation with ~10 nm accuracy between green and red fluorescently labeled protein epitopes within single human kinetochores. Accuracy depended critically on achieving small standard deviations in fluorescence centroid determination, chromatic aberration across the measurement field, and coverslip thickness. Computer simulations showed that large standard deviations in these parameters significantly increase 3D measurements from their true values. Our 3D results show that at metaphase, the protein linkage between CENP-A within the inner kinetochore and the microtubule-binding domain of the Ndc80 complex within the outer kinetochore is on average ~90 nm. The Ndc80 complex appears fully extended at metaphase and exhibits the same subunit structure in vivo as found in vitro by crystallography.

description: The introduction highlights the main themes of the papers published in the first section of the issue, which consider from various angles how the organisation of EU can respond to the present historical challenges, holding on to the fundamental values that inspired the unification. Some essays discuss in which way EU could obtain a more accomplished legitimation and a stronger integration, and how EU citizenship should be adequately implemented. Other essays focus on the political implication of solidarity within EU, on possible inadequacies in the economic organization of EU and the role of Germany within EU.

Perché è necessaria e com’è possibile la trasformazione dell’Unione europea in una democrazia sovranazionale

description: The European Union is at the crossroads between intelligent expansion of future horizons and frightened shrinking to a perspective of local areas. Fear of descent of the citizens on one side and a politics of crisis, that goes along with harsh injustice have made upset the national societies against each other, missing courage on the side of politicians, to bring European issues to the fore, endanger the European project. There is only one way to overcome this situation by establishing a democratic union, which conserves not only the social and civilian achievements of the national state, as well as the assets of a greater democratic political unity, that offers an unity of European citizens and European state demos.

description: Data saving capability of "Compressed sensing (sampling)" in signal discretization is disputed and found to be far below the theoretical upper bound defined by the signal sparsity. On a simple and intuitive example, it is demonstrated that, in a realistic scenario for signals that are believed to be sparse, one can achieve a substantially larger saving than compressing sensing can. It is also shown that frequent assertions in the literature that "Compressed sensing" can beat the Nyquist sampling approach are misleading substitution of terms and are rooted in misinterpretation of the sampling theory.
Reconfigurable spin wave band structure of artificial square spin ice

description: Artificial square spin ices are structures composed of magnetic elements arranged on a geometrically frustrated lattice and located on the sites of a two-dimensional square lattice, such that there are four interacting magnetic elements at each vertex. Using a semi-analytical approach, we show that square spin ices exhibit a rich spin wave band structure that is tunable both by external magnetic fields and the configuration of individual elements. Internal degrees of freedom can give rise to equilibrium states with bent magnetization at the edges leading to characteristic excitations; in the presence of magnetostatic interactions these form separate bands analogous to impurity bands in semiconductors. Full-scale micromagnetic simulations corroborate our semi-analytical approach. Our results show that artificial square spin ices can be viewed as reconfigurable and tunable magnonic crystals that can be used as metamaterials for spin-wave-based applications at the nanoscale.

The Three Levels of Citizenship in the European Union
Creators: name: Bauböck, Rainer
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2015

description: Against the tendency to compare EU citizenship with national state citizenship, the article argues that European Union citizenship represents a hybrid type, as it is derivative of Member State nationality. After pointing out the tensions caused by this derivative character with respect to mobility rights, the article considers the limits of some strategies of dealing with such difficulties. Finally the article argues that realistic solutions should start from accepting a potentially coherent and normatively attractive constellation of three interconnected membership regimes: A birthright-based one at the Member State level, a residential one at the local level, and a derivative regime with residence-based rights at the supranational level, which would lead to a few modest reforms.

description: Abstract Excess in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) is considered as a major cause of cellular oxidative stress. NADPH, the main intracellular reductant, has a key role in keeping glutathione in its reduced form GSH, which scavenges ROS and thus protects the cell from oxidative damage. Here, we report that SIRT5 desuccinylates and deglutarylates isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), respectively, and thus activates both NADPH‐producing enzymes. Moreover, we show that knockdown or knockout of SIRT5 leads to high levels of cellular ROS. SIRT5 inactivation leads to the inhibition of IDH2 and G6PD, thereby decreasing NADPH production, lowering GSH, impairing the ability to scavenge ROS, and increasing cellular susceptibility to oxidative stress. Our study uncovers a SIRT5‐dependent mechanism that regulates cellular NADPH homeostasis and redox potential by promoting IDH2 desuccinylation and G6PD deglutarylation.

description: Ice templating, a route where ice crystals are used to template macroporosity, has been used to process a variety of materials with one level of macropores. We demonstrate here a variant of ice templating based on the solidification of mutually miscible solvents. The solidification of different phases, each defined by their own size and morphology, provides a simple one-step processing route for materials with hierarchical porosity defined by up to three levels of macroporosity. These concepts are demonstrated with both ceramic (yttria-stabilized zirconia) and polymer (polyvinyl alcohol) materials.

Europe’s paradoxes
Creators: name: Bagnai, Alberto
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2015

description: The essay aims at highlighting some fundamental paradoxes affecting the very structure of the European Union in its current organization. The currency union is not only insufficient, but ultimately impairing the economic efficiency of the Eurozone. The economic issues that the European Union project was designed to respond to do not correspond to the present circumstances. The European institutions and the European left-wing parties have lost sight of the proper parameters of social justice. Left-wing parties endorsing pro-capital policies and supranationalism deployed to overcome nationalism are the two main paradoxes that have a damaging impact on the present development of European institutions.
