Creators: name: Nonino, Mario
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The ESO-VIRCAM GCAV Public Survey is an ongoing infrared Y,J,Ks 560 hrs long survey observing 20 massive (0.7-4 x 10^15 M_sun) clusters of galaxies, which explores galaxy evolution over a large, and largely unexplored, diversity of cluster environments. The 20 clusters are at intermediate redshify, 0.2<z<0.9, and the sample includes 4 Frontier Feilds/BUFFALO, as well CLASH and RELICS targets, and reach depths > 23.5 (AB) in Y and J and ~23 (AB) in Ks over an area >1deg^2/cluster. Most of the targets already have a wealth of ancillary data from optical imaging to hundred-thousands of spectra. First results for the clusters with completed observations (~80%) are summarized in the poster.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία ερευνά το ποια είναι τα δικαιώματα των θιγόμενων προσώπων κατά την διεξαγωγή των ειδικών ανακριτικών πράξεων, όπως αυτά κατοχυρώνονται στο Ελληνικό Σύνταγμα, την Ευρωπαϊκή Σύμβαση των Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου αλλά και τον Ελληνικό Κώδικα Ποινικής Δικονομίας, και πώς αυτά τα δικαιώματα μπορεί να προσβληθούν κατά τη διεξαγωγή των επαχθών ανακριτικών πράξεων. Επιπλέον, ερευνά τη δικονομική θέση των θιγόμενων προσώπων μετά τη θέσπιση του νέου Κώδικα Ποινικής Δικονομίας, και τις μεταβολές που έχουν επέλθει για την εναρμόνιση της ελληνικής ποινικής νομοθεσίας με τη νομολογία του Ευρωπαϊκού Δικαστηρίου Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου. Ο απώτερος σκοπός είναι η πρόβλεψη μιας δικαιότερης ποινικής διαδικασίας, που διαφυλάσσει τα δικαιώματα των θιγόμενων προσώπων κατά τη σύγκρουσή τους με το δικαίωμα δημόσιας ασφάλειας, από το οποίο προκύπτει η ανάγκη διεξαγωγής των ειδικών ανακριτικών πράξεων.
description: This thesis investigates the rights of the affected persons during the conduction of special investigative acts, as they are enshrined in the Greek Constitution, the European Convention of Human Rights and the Greek Code of Criminal Procedure and how these rights can be violated during the conduction of the burdensome investigative acts. In addition, it investigates the procedural position of the affected persons after the enactment of the new Greek Code of Criminal Procedure and the changes that have taken place, to bring the Greek criminal legislation into line with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. The ultimate goal is to provide for a fairer criminal procedure that protects the rights of the affected persons when these conflict with the right of public security, from which the need to conduct special investigative acts arises.

description: At the end of 1995, the Frascati ϕ-factory will being delivering of the order of 500 ϕ-mesons/sec. This provides a unique opportunity to study the f0(975) in ϕ radiative decays, even for branching ratios which in some estimates could be as low as 1x10^-6. This unique, lightest scalar meson state is poorly described by current models, and more information is essential. By Monte Carlo studies we show that the smallest expected branching ratio can easily be measured in the decay f_0->π^0π^0. In decays to π^+π^-, there are backgrounds from continuum processes. Interference between one of these processes and the f0 amplitude leads t very interesting and complex patterns. A complete study of the photon spectrum from e^+e^- ->π^+π^-γ at the peak, after suppression of continuum contributions by suitable kinematics and angular cuts, can determine the sign of the πf_0γ coupling even for the smallest branching ratio, thus providing a totally new piece of information for the investigation of the nature of the f0. a similar study of the decay π->η'γ shows that is branching ratio can be measured with very good accuracy, therefore measuring the gluon contents of light pseudoscalar mesons to high accuracy.

description: Contrary to some reports in the literature Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 as well as other strains of Pseudomonads produced definitely larger amounts of protease when supplied with proteinaceous nutrients than in a glucose mineral salts medium. The enzyme appeared to be extracellular in character and liberated under conditions of at least partial starvation in the presence of an inducer. Of the properties of the enzyme temperature and pH optima were found to be 60°C and pH 8.0 respectively. Chelating agents were found to inhibit enzyme activity.

description: We present a nanoscale color detector based on a single-walled carbon nanotube functionalized with azobenzene chromophores, where the chromophores serve as photoabsorbers and the nanotube as the electronic read-out. By synthesizing chromophores with specific absorption windows in the visible spectrum and anchoring them to the nanotube surface, we demonstrate the controlled detection of visible light of low intensity in narrow ranges of wavelengths. Our measurements suggest that upon photoabsorption, the chromophores isomerize from the ground state trans configuration to the excited state cis configuration, accompanied by a large change in dipole moment, changing the electrostatic environment of the nanotube. All-electron ab initio calculations are used to study the chromophore-nanotube hybrids, and show that the chromophores bind strongly to the nanotubes without disturbing the electronic structure of either species. Calculated values of the dipole moments support the notion of dipole changes as the optical detection mechanism.

Observational signatures of halo boundaries

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Galaxy clusters represent the terminus of galaxy formation and present the ultimate challenge to our theories of structure formation. However, our understanding of the impact of cluster environments defined by traditional spherical overdensities is complicated by the fact that accreting and orbiting galaxies are mixed beyond the assumed halo boundary. An alternative halo boundary is the splashback radius, which separates the infalling objects from collapsed halos. In this talk, I will present a comparison of splashback boundaries derived from dark matter and galaxy density profiles for groups and clusters in the IllustrisTNG simulations. I will highlight that observable components, like galaxies, are reliable tracers of the underlying dark matter profiles, making future detections of this splashback radius with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope an enticing prospect. I will then explore differences between the hydrodynamic simulations and the dark matter-only runs used for the vast majority of previous studies. Finally, I will demonstrate how the splashback radius changes as a function of halo mass, accretion rate, redshift, and method used to identify splashback features.

description: In the present thesis we attempt the investigation of those conditions that make possible a connection of the tragic, as a basic element of the imaginative conception of society by the Greeks, with the concept of autonomy, which cannot be seen separately from the event of the Athenian democracy. In particular, comparing the philosophical concerns of Nietzsche and Castoriadis, which have different starting points and, so to speak, different aims, we proceed to an ontological investigation of the cosmogenic transformations that took place in Greece in the 5th century, the seeds of which can be traced from the Homeric epics and even Hesiod, and from which arose the triptych of democracy, Athenian tragedy and philosophy. We demonstrate, through the study of the two philosophers, that the aforementioned triptych is not, merely, a manifestation of a particular social organization, but is seen only as a single whole which laid the preconditions of Western civilization.

description: We consider the following geometric optics problem: Construct a system of two reflectors which transforms a spherical wavefront generated by a point source into a beam of parallel rays. This beam has a prescribed intensity distribution. We give a rigorous analysis of this problem. The reflectors we construct are (parts of) the boundaries of convex sets. We prove existence of solutions for a large class of input data and give a uniqueness result. To the author's knowledge, this is the first time that a rigorous mathematical analysis of this problem is given. The approach is based on optimal transportation theory. It yields a practical algorithm for finding the reflectors. Namely, the problem is equivalent to a constrained linear optimization problem.

description: We present experimental results on simultaneous space-time measurements for the gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We compare these results with predictions of the weak turbulence theory (WTT) based on random waves, as well as with predictions based on the coherent singular wave crests. We see that both wavenumber and the frequency spectra are not universal and dependent on the wave strength, with some evidence in favor of WTT at larger wave intensities when the finite flume effects are minimal. We present further theoretical analysis of the role of the random and coherent waves in the wave probability density function (PDF) and the structure functions (SFs). Analyzing our experimental data we found that the random waves and the coherent structures/breaks coexist: the former show themselves in a quasi-gaussian PDF core and in the low-order SFs, and the latter - in the PDF tails and the high-order SF's. It appears that the x-space signal is more intermittent than the t-space signal, and the x-space SFs capture more singular coherent structures than do the t-space SFs. We outline an approach treating the interactions of these random and coherent components as a turbulence cycle characterized by the turbulence fluxes in both the wavenumber and the amplitude spaces.

description: We investigate the energy relaxation (T1) process of a qubit coupled to a bath of dissipative two-level fluctuators (TLF). We consider the fluctuators strongly coupled to the qubit both in the limit of spectrally separated single TLF's as well as in the limit of spectrally dense TLF's. We conclude that the avoided level crossings, usually attributed to very strongly coupled single TLF's, could also be caused by many weakly coupled spectrally dense fluctuators.

description: A three-volume book on all aspects of the European reception of Isaac Newton’s work is in preparation, for publication in 2008 by Continuum Press (London). This workshop involved the important subset of contributors working on Newton’s pure and applied mathematics and aspects of his physics, and almost all of the participants are to be authors of one of the chapters. The meeting gave everyone an opportunity not only to rehearse their contributions as far as they had developed them, but also to discuss and sort out overlaps and divisions of labour between their respective chapters, as well as with many other chapters to be written by authors who were not present. The ease and intensity of these exchanges would not have been possible by emails alone, however many of them were sent; the personal contact was crucial. In other words, pure Oberwolfach.

description: Diamond films grown on titanium substrates by hot filament chemical vapour deposition (HF-CVD) were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements using both synchrotron radiation (SR) and a Cu X-ray tube. Grazing incidence diffraction (GID) measurements pointed out the presence of different phases at the film-substrate interface, i.e. titanium hydride (TiH2) and titanium carbide (TiC). The experimental data allowed us to determine, by means of a line broadening analysis (LBA), the crystallographic features and microstrain of the diamond layer and the other phases.

description: The study of the K^± K_miss^0 π^± π^+ π^- Channel (7016 events), from p ̅p annihilations in a gaseous hydrogen target at NTP, with the OBELIX spectrometer at LEAR (CERN), is presented. A spin-parity analysis provides evidence for two axial vectors, one in low KK ̅π mass region, the well established f_1(1285), decaying to a_0(980)π, the second, the 1^++ component of the old puzzling E/i, the f_1(1420), decaying mainly to K^*K ̅, seen for the first time in p ̅p annihilation at rest. The analysis confirms the dominant production of the pseudoscalar η(1405), decaying mainly to (Kπ)_sK ̅, and the existence of a second pseudoscalar in the same mass region, the η(1460), decaying mainly to K*K ̅.

ε'/ε in the 1/N_c Expansion

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: We present a new analysis of the ratio ε'/ε which measures the direct CP violation in K→ππ decays. We use the 1/N_c expansion within the framework of the effective chiral lagrangian for pseudoscalar mesons. From general counting arguments we show that the matrix element of the operator Q_6 is not protected from possible large 1/N_c corrections beyond its large-N_c or VSA value. Calculating the 1/N_c corrections, we explicitly find that they are large and positive. Our result indicates that a Delta I = 1/2 enhancement is operative for Q_6 similar to the one of Q_1 and Q_2 which dominate the CP conserving amplitude. This enhances ε'/ε and can bring the standard model prediction close to the measured value for central values of the parameters.
The oxidative metabolism of estrogens by mammalian liver
Creators: name: Lazier, Catherine B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The main problem of estrogen metabolism studied has been to determine the nature of the water-soluble products formed from estrone-16-C¹⁴ by rat liver preparations. Comparative studies were carried out in the guinea pig. Three types of water-soluble metabolites were demonstrated, namely, protein-bound derivatives, glucosiduronate conjugates, and unidentified products which were not bound to protein and were not hydrolysed by 2N HC1. The water-soluble metabolites formed on incubating rat or guinea pig liver microsomes with estrone-16-C¹⁴ in the presence of NADPH and oxygen consisted of protein-bound material, some unknown derivatives, but virtually no simple conjugates. Incubation with the rat liver 8000 x g supernatant fraction resulted largely in conversion of the estrogen to the unknown water-soluble end-products, while in contrast, this liver fraction from guinea pig gave rise mainly to glucosiduronates. In the presence of UDPGA, both rat and guinea pig liver microsomes converted estrone-16-C¹⁴ to glucosiduronate conjugates, but this did not occur with the rat liver 8000 x g supernatant fraction. Estradiol-17β-16-C¹⁴and stilbestrol-C¹⁴ behaved similarly to estrone-16-C¹⁴. In the rat, in vivo, the bulk of the urinary water-soluble derivatives of estrone were of unknown nature, while in the guinea pig, glucosiduronate conjugation predominated. The problem was also studied by a different approach. Various compounds having structural features similar to estrone were tested for their ability to inhibit the formation of water-soluble metabolites from this estrogen by rat liver microsomes. It was found that 2-hydroxyestrone, 2-hydroxyestradiol-17β and equilenin were potent inhibitors, while those estrogens which had an oxygen function at C-6 or C-16, as well as the 17β-glucosiduronates and non-phenolic steroids tested were inactive. The synthetic estrogens, stilbestrol and hexestrol, both inhibited the reaction, but their non-estrogenic analogues had no effect. A group of benzoquinones, naphthoquinones and ortho- and para-hydroxylated phenols proved to be powerful inhibitors, whereas anthraquinones and meta-hydroxy-lated phenols showed no activity. In kinetic studies, 2-hydroxyestrone, equilenin, and stilbestrol appeared to act as competitive inhibitors, but menadione gave a mixed type of inhibition.

K→ππe^+e^- Decays and Chiral low-energy Constants
Creators: name: Pichl, Hannes
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 2000

description: In this paper the branching ratios of the measured decay K_L→π^+π^-e^+e^- and of the still unmeasured decay K^+→π^+π^0e^+e^- are calculated to next-to-leading order in Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT). Recent experimental results are used to determine two possible values of the combination (N_16^r - N_17) of weak low-energy couplings (LEC) from the O(p^4) chiral Lagrangian. Furthermore, the obtained values are compared to theoretical models of weak counter-term couplings to distinguish between the two possibilities. Using the favoured value of the combination (N_16^r - N_17) and taking into account additional assumptions suggested by these models, one can predict the branching ratio of the second decay as a function of the numerically unknown combination (N_14^r+ 2N_15^r) of weak low-energy couplings. Finally, making use of a particular model for the individual LECs, one predicts the decay width of the K^+ decay in question.

description: These lectures discuss the question of whether a key feature is seen in hadron spectroscopy--the near degeneracy of hadrons with different parity and/or spin. It has been conjectured that this is due to an effective restoration of chiral symmetry. The conjecture is that while these states are, of course, in the symmetry-broken (Nambu-Goldstone) phase, as one goes higher in the spectrum the states become progressively less sensitive to the dynamics of chiral symmetry breaking. These lectures discuss the current status of this conjecture. The motivations for the conjecture are discussed, as is evidence--both theoretical and experimental--in its favor. Possible alternative explanations for the data are also discussed.

description: The pressure-dependence of the hidden order phase transition of URu2Si2 is shown to depend sensitively upon the quality of hydrostatic pressure conditions during electrical resistivity measurements. Hysteresis in pressure is demonstrated for two choices of pressure medium: the commonly-used mixture of 1:1 Fluorinert FC70/FC77 and pure FC75. In contrast, no hysteresis is observed when the pressure medium is a 1:1 mixture of n-pentane/isoamyl alcohol, as it remains hydrostatic over the entire studied pressure range. Possible ramifications for the interpretation of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of URu2Si2 are discussed.

コロナ禍を経たNAAT機器の活用について、忖度なしで考えてみた
Creators: name: Lee, Sang-Tae
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: 本邦においてSARS-CoV-2検出を目的に導入された全自動核酸増幅検査(Nucleicacid Amplification Test; NAAT)機器は、主に感染症の原因微生物の検出や微生物検査の補助に利用されている。その利点は、例えば原因微生物の迅速な同定は即ち迅速な治療を実現させるものであり、高い特異性は適切な治療に繋がる、つまり「検出されれば」治療の段階をempiricからdefinitiveに素早く移行できることにある。当院ではコロナ禍に3機種(FilmArray、GeneXpert、μTAS Wako g1)を新規に導入し、二機種はSARS-CoV-2検査以外で現在も用いている。今回はこれらの運用について報告する。

1.         GeneXpert

導入から現在までSARS-CoV-2検出でのみ使用しており、「Xpert MRSA / SA BC」は導入していない。これは、血液培養陽性例の菌種同定がMALDI TOF MSにより当日中に行われているためである。また、当院では多くの症例でde-escalationが薬剤感受性判明後に行われているため、MALDI TOF MSやグラム染色によりempiric治療の妥当性が示されていれば抗菌薬が変更されることはない。MSSA菌血症ではVCMからCEZへのde-escalationが経済的にも患者予後的にも有用とされてきたが、当院採用薬の現在の薬価基準制度上の価格から算出した二剤の3日の差額は約3,000円である。これを節約するためにNAATを用いると4,500円(D023ブドウ球菌メチシリン耐性遺伝子検出:450点)を費やすことになり経済的とは言いがたい。またCEZの投与期間(2週間)はempiric治療としてのVCMを含めて算出されるため、全ての症例で迅速なde-escalationが求められるとは限らないと考える。便検体を用いる「Xpert C. difficile」は、イムノクロマト法とToxigenic cultureを行っているため導入していない。

2.         FilmArray

当院では「呼吸器パネル2.1」を「髄膜炎・脳炎パネル」を導入している。各パネルの単価は高額(それぞれ22,880円と22,090円)である。前者は主に小児科からの依頼であり、成人の非定型肺炎はイムノクロマト法を用いている。後者はHSV脳炎の診断等で有用とされているが、偽陰性が存在するため注意が必要である。日本における経済性は不透明であるが、当院未導入の「血液培養パネル2」(17,600円)を例にすると、血液培養陽性のグラム染色でブドウ球菌が確認されれば、GeneXpertも保有している施設ではほとんどが「血液培養パネル2」ではなく、より安価な「Xpert MRSA / SA BC」を選択している。

3.         μTAS Wako g1

μTAS Wako g1は、コロナ禍以前より抗酸菌検査を目的に導入を予定していた。SARS-CoV-2では、発症後10日を超えた陽性検体の検出率は低いが、発症初期であれば他の機器・試薬と同等の検出率を示した。一方、前述した2機種と異なり機器にセットする消耗品類があるため手順が多い。抗酸菌検査は薬剤耐性遺伝子の検出ができないが、結核菌とMACの同時測定が可能である。

感染症診療における全自動NAATの有用性は確立されているが、導入によるリソースの圧迫や普及に伴う医療費の増加が予想される。もちろん感染症専門医や微生物検査のリソースがない施設・場所での使用やNAATでしか検出できないものを対象とする場合、患者アウトカムが明らかに向上するような高い費用対効果が得られる場合は極めて有用と考えるが、NAATだけで完結できないのであれば、たとえ簡便迅速高精度が実現されているとしても導入に慎重であるべきと考える。コロナ禍において補助金により導入された全自動NAAT機器がすでにその役目を果たしたとした場合、SARS-CoV-2以外の病原体の検出に活用しない選択肢もあるのではないか、もし活用するにしても、それがどの程度の業務削減に繋がるのか(たとえばNAATで抗酸菌陽性検体の塗抹検査省略や薬剤耐性遺伝子検出による薬剤感受性試験の省略など)、また本邦においては努力義務となっている内部精度管理をどのように行っていくのか、様々な事柄を踏まえた上で、NAATのベストプラクティスについて「未来共創」の下で議論したいと考える。

Arbeitsgemeinschaft mit aktuellem Thema: Higher Torsion Invariants in Differential Topology and Algebraic K-Theory
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: The purpose of this Arbeitsgemeinschaft was to study and—as far as possible—compare three generalisations of the classical Franz-Reidemeister torsion to families E → B of manifolds. Dwyer, Weiss and Williams construct higher torsion as a byproduct of a family index theorem for the fibrewise A-theory Euler-class. Igusa and Klein use generalised fibrewise Morse functions to construct a classifying map from B to a Whitehead space, and to pull-back universal classes from there. Bismut and Lott prove an analytic family index theorem for flat vector bundles and obtain the higher analytic torsion as a transgression.
Confinement and electron correlation effects in photoionization of atoms in endohedral anions: Ne@C60^{z-}

description: Trends in resonances, termed confinement resonances, in photoionization of atoms A in endohedral fullerene anions A@C60^{z-} are theoretically studied and exemplified by the photoionization of Ne in Ne@C{60}^{z-}. Remarkably, above a particular nl ionization threshold of Ne in neutral Ne@C60 (I_{nl}^{z=0}), confinement resonances in corresponding partial photoionization cross sections sigma_{nl} of Ne in any charged Ne@C60^{z-} remain almost intact by a charge z on the carbon cage, as a general phenomenon. At lower photon energies, omega < I_{nl}^{z=0}, the corresponding photoionization cross sections develop additional, strong, z-dependent resonances, termed Coulomb confinement resonances, as a general occurrence. Furthermore, near the innermost 1s ionization threshold, the 2p photoionization cross section sigma_{2p} of the outermost 2p subshell of thus confined Ne is found to inherit the confinement resonance structure of the 1s photoionization spectrum, via interchannel coupling. As a result, new confinement resonances emerge in the 2p photoionization cross section of the confined Ne atom at photoelectron energies which exceed the 2p threshold by about a thousand eV, i.e., far above where conventional wisdom said they would exist. Thus, the general possibility for confinement resonances to resurrect in photoionization spectra of encapsulated atoms far above thresholds is revealed, as an interesting novel general phenomenon.

Caseworkers working with groups : a survey and assessment of casework agencies using groups of clients and relatives of clients for educational and treatment work, Greater Vancouver.
Creators: name: Kerr, Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In many social agencies today, caseworkers are working with groups of clients or relatives of clients and there are increasing references to this development in the literature. The purpose of the present study was to discover? (a) the extent of the use of such groups by caseworkers in the Greater Vancouver Area; (b) the administrative policy on the subject; (c) the views and experience of supervisors in the group method, including problems of supervising caseworkers; (d) the experience and also the training of caseworkers in these groups. Questionnaires were utilized to obtain most of the data. They were sent to the casework agencies of the Greater Vancouver Area, to the administrators of agencies with caseworkers using the group method, and to the supervisors of such caseworkers. An interview schedule was prepared to use in interviews with caseworkers who were "change agents" in a group. The evidence is that increasing numbers of social workers in the Greater Vancouver Area are working with groups of people rather than singly. The administrative level reflects much uncertainty about the appropriate policy to develop in the use of group methods. Supervisors are on the whole not experienced in this technique, and questions on how to supervise caseworkers working with groups need to be answered. Caseworkers are favorably impressed with the usefulness of groups as a way of helping clients and relatives of clients, but most of them lack adequate training in group method. To improve services, there is now a need for a classification system of group services to be employed in casework agencies, and there is an urgent need for training, probably with the aid of Schools of Social Work Instructors, to help caseworkers become proficient in this new development of group method.

Uncovering silicate emitting AGN behind the Magellanic Clouds masquerading as evolved stars
Creators: name: Pennock, Clara Marie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Not too long ago the strongest 10um silicate emitting AGN currently known was serendipitously discovered behind the Magellanic Clouds (MCs). SAGE1C J053634.78−722658.5 (SAGE0536AGN) lies at z=0.14 and has a smaller than expected galaxy mass, an unusually intense silicate emission line, as well as a negligible amount of far-IR (infra-red) emission and therefore a lack of emission from star-formation. Unusual/Extreme sources such as this provide us with the unique potential to see a window into galaxy evolution not often observed, and in this case a chance to study the AGN environment without confusion from star-formation regions. Last year we discovered SAGE0534AGN behind the MCs at z=1, which also had silicate emission, though not as extreme, and a lack of emission from star-formation, making this a potential link to SAGE0536AGN’s extreme state. Another similarity between these sources was that they were both originally believed to be evolved stars. The MCs are an excellent place for multiwavelength studies due to the plethora of observations from X-ray to radio that have been taken of them. Through a machine learning technique called t-distributed stochastic neighbourhood embedding we have already discovered several candidates for higher-z SAGE0536AGN look-alikes. The large survey speed of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has great potential for uncovering similarly rare but key sources that will help us understand both the universal and individual evolutionary paths.

description: In New Caledonia, the late 1980s saw the emergence of new cultural institutions and development programs dedicated to the indigenous Melanesian people of the Territory. After their struggle for immediate political independence failed in the mid-1980s, New Caledonia’s indigenous Kanak people obtained French recognition of their cultural identity through the 1988 Matignon Accord. The French Government subsequently implemented new measures both to preserve the Kanak cultural heritage and encourage indigenous artists to come up with new cultural expressions. In the last fifteen years, new Kanak artists have appeared, producing hybrid forms of art which claim to be rooted in the traditional Kanak world whilst at the same time being very much influenced by Western art standards, media, and techniques. This paper attempts to define the contemporary Melanesian art world in New Caledonia and to underline both its modernity and hybridism. It will show how contemporary Kanak art is breaking some dominant aesthetic rules and is changing the way both Westerners and Islanders decide what indigenous culture should be like. It will also focus on the emergence of new art professionals and new aesthetic icons, thus trying to give a better view of social and cultural change in this Melanesian postcolonial society.
Coupling Impedance of a Hole in a Coaxial Beam Pipe

description: n this paper we derive the impedance of a circular hole in the inner tube of a coaxial beam pipe. The method used differs from the classic Bethe's diffraction theory, since, in the calculation of the magnetic and electric dipole moments, we take into account also the scattered fields in the aperture to match the power conservation law. The low-frequency impedance shows a real contribution accounting for the TEM waves propagating within the coaxial waveguide.
