description: Nell'ambito della promozione linguistica l'Accademia della Crusca ha da sempre cercato di porsi in modo innovativo e di lavorare su più fronti, avvalendosi di diversi strumenti. Negli ultimi anni ha aperto un sito internet per favorire la conoscenza storica della lingua italiana, per farla amare sempre di più e per aiutare, in particolare i giovani, a scrivere e parlare con proprietà.  Con l'informatizzazione, l'Accademia ha scelto di mettersi in gioco e di farsi conoscere dal grande pubblico: si è rinnovata, ha abbracciato nuove ricerche e affrontato grandi rivoluzioni legate ai cambiamenti della società. Da diversi anni si è schierata in prima linea anche sui temi del multilinguismo e del ruolo dell'italiano dentro e fuori l'Italia, argomenti che per gli Accademici sono diventati prioritari. La Presidente dell'Accademia della Crusca, Professoressa Nicoletta Maraschio, nell'intervista che ci ha rilasciato, parla di temi fondamentali come quello della coscienza linguistica, del plurilinguismo e delle motivazioni che spingono gli stranieri a scegliere l'italiano come lingua seconda.

The Accademia della Crusca has always tried to promote languages in an innovative way and works from different angles, using different tools. Over the past years it has started up an internet site to encourage the historic knowledge about Italian language, foster appreciation for it and help younger people write and speak properly.  Thanks to computers, the Accademia has chosen to present itself to a larger audience: it has been redesigned, and embraced new studies and faced great changes tied to changes in society. Over the past few years it has been in the front line regarding multilingualism and the role of Italian within and outside Italy, the most important themes for the Academy members. In the interview, Professoressa Nicoletta Maraschio, the President of the Accademia della Crusca, talks about themes like the language awareness, plurilingualism and motivations foreigners have in choosing Italian as a second language.

description: In this paper we address the challenge of assessing the quality of Wikipedia pages using scores derived from edit contribution and contributor authoritativeness measures. The hypothesis is that pages with significant contributions from authoritative contributors are likely to be high-quality pages. Contributions are quantified using edit longevity measures and contributor authoritativeness is scored using centrality metrics in either the Wikipedia talk or co-author networks. The results suggest that it is useful to take into account the contributor authoritativeness when assessing the information quality of Wikipedia content. The percentile visualization of the quality scores provides some insights about the anomalous articles, and can be used to help Wikipedia editors to identify Start and Stub articles that are of relatively good quality.

description: L'Irlanda è recentemente divenuta un paese di immigrazione. Se la presenza di immigrati italiani non è significativa lo studio dell'italiano LS è invece discretamente diffuso, sebbene non ai livelli ben  maggiori del francese, del tedesco e dello spagnolo. L'articolo presenta un'analisi quantitativa dell'offerta e dello studio dell'italiano LS nelle scuole e nelle università irlandesi. L'analisi è stata condotta raccogliendo dati  da fonti istituzionali,  da siti internet, da materiale cartaceo, ma si fonda anche su esperienze dirette di insegnamento dell'italiano in Irlanda da parte dell'autore. Il risultato è il computo numerico degli studenti che studiano l'italiano come LS nelle scuole superiori e dell'offerta didattica delle maggiori università irlandesi e in particolare della National University of Ireland di Galway di cui si presentano i diversi corsi di lingua e di cultura italiana.

 Ireland has recently attracted more and more immigration. Even if there are not many Italian immigrants living in Ireland, the study of Italian as a foreign language is quite wide-spread, although not quite as popular as French, German and Spanish. This paper is a quantitative analysis of the study of Italian as a foreign language in Irish schools and universities. The survey was carried out using data from institutional sources, internet sites, printed materials as well as the author's personal experience teaching Italian in Ireland. The results illustrate the number of students studying Italian as a foreign language in high schools and the courses offered in the main Irish universities, in particular at the National University of Ireland in Galway, which offers numerous courses on Italian language and culture.

description: We investigate the effects of ram pressure stripping on gas-rich disk galaxies in the cluster environment. Ram pressure stripping principally effects the atomic gas in disk galaxies, stripping away outer disk gas to a truncation radius. We demonstrate that the drag force exerted on truncated gas disks is passed to the stellar disk, and surrounding dark matter through their mutual gravity. Using a toy model of ram pressure stripping, we show that this can drag a stellar disk and dark matter cusp off centre within it's dark matter halo by several kiloparsecs. We present a simple analytical description of this process that predicts the drag force strength and its dependency on ram pressures and disk galaxy properties to first order. The motion of the disk can result in temporary deformation of the stellar disk. However we demonstrate that the key source of stellar disk heating is the removal of the gas potential from within the disk. This can result in disk thickening by approximately a factor of two in gas-rich disks.

description: Gli studi sull'italiano in rete hanno visto una particolare attenzione rivolta alle caratteristiche grafiche e di riproduzione del parlato nel linguaggio di chat, e-mail e blog, riservando tuttavia una limitata considerazione per la variazione diafasica in rete e, nello specifico, per le varietà formali della lingua.

Il contributo presenta le finalità del progetto VALERE (Varietà Alte di Lingue Europee in REte) ed i corpora di newsgroups utilizzati al suo interno. Dopo l'analisi delle peculiarità linguistiche dei registri alti in italiano, si propone una ricaduta glottodidattica che tenga conto delle varietà diafasiche e della lacuna sinora lamentata in merito nella manualistica per l'insegnamento dell'italiano L2/LS a studenti della scuola secondaria o in ambiente universitario.

 This paper presents the aims of the VALERE (Varietà Alte di Lingue Europee in REte) project and the corpora of online news groups. After analyzing the linguistic peculariaties of high registers in Italian, a glottodidactic relapse has been proposed which considers the diphasic diversities and the complained-about lack of textbooks for teaching Italian L2/FL to secondary school or university students.

We obtain approximate analytical expressions and exact numerical results for the time-dependent probabilities, demonstrating that the presence of the third level modifies the photon statistics and its population can serve as a witness of photon generation from vacuum.

Symmetry-protected topological orders for interacting fermions -- Fermionic topological nonlinear $σ$ models and a special group supercohomology theory

description: Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases are gapped short-range-entangled quantum phases with a symmetry $G$, which can all be smoothly connected to the trivial product states if we break the symmetry. It has been shown that a large class of interacting bosonic SPT phases can be systematically described by group cohomology theory. In this paper, we introduce a (special) group supercohomology theory which is a generalization of the standard group cohomology theory. We show that a large class of short-range interacting fermionic SPT phases can be described by the group supercohomology theory. Using the data of super cocycles, we can obtain the ideal ground state wave function for the corresponding fermionic SPT phase. We can also obtain the bulk Hamiltonian that realizes the SPT phase, as well as the anomalous (ie, non-on-site) symmetry for the boundary effective Hamiltonian. The anomalous symmetry on the boundary implies that the symmetric} boundary must be gapless for 1+1D boundary, and must be gapless or topologically ordered beyond 1+1D. As an application of this general result, we construct a new SPT phase in 3D, for interacting fermionic superconductors with coplanar spin order (which have $T^2=1$ time-reversal $Z_2^T$ and fermion-number parity $Z_2^f$ symmetries described by a full symmetry group $Z_2^T\times Z_2^f$). Such a fermionic SPT state can neither be realized by free fermions nor by interacting bosons (formed by fermion-pairs), and thus are not included in the K-theory classification for free fermions or group cohomology description for interacting bosons. We also construct three interacting fermionic SPT phases in 2D with a full symmetry group $Z_2\times Z_2^f$. Those 2D fermionic SPT phases all have central-charge $c=1$ gapless edge excitations, if the symmetry is not broken.

Integrating discrete-return scanning LiDAR and spaceborne RADAR to support aboveground biomass assessments
Creators: name: Tsui, Olivier W. L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Forests are considered important reservoirs of organic carbon and have been identified as essential in moderating climate change. Measuring the amount of carbon stored in forests helps improve our understanding of the carbon budget and help with climate change adaptation strategies. Therefore, effective and accurate methods in characterizing changing forest cover and biomass densities are needed. Both LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and radar (radio detection and ranging) technologies can contribute towards the study of forest biomass but one sensor alone cannot provide all the information necessary to monitor forests. Understanding and investigating synergies between different remotely sensed data sets provides new and innovative opportunities to monitor forests. The overall objective reported in this thesis is to demonstrate novel methods to integrate two remotely sensed data sets (i.e., radar and LiDAR) for the application of biomass estimation. This research was divided into two main questions: (1) can shorter wavelength radar variables provide improved biomass estimates when combined with LiDAR data; and (2) can the use of space-borne radar extend aboveground biomass estimates over a larger area using spatial modeling methods. In the first study, relationships between biomass and biomass components with LiDAR and radar data were examined through regression analyses to determine the best combined parameters to estimate biomass. Results indicated that integrating radar variables to a LiDAR-derived model of aboveground biomass helped explain an additional 17.9% of the variability in crown biomass. This corresponded in an improvement in crown biomass estimates of 10% RMSE. Furthermore, InSAR coherence magnitudes from C-band and L-band radars provided the best estimate of aboveground biomass using radar alone. In the second study, aboveground biomass transects derived from plot-based field data and LiDAR, and wall-to-wall radar were spatially integrated using three kriging techniques. The results indicated the importance of correlation between primary and secondary variables when using these kriging approaches. Also a 1000 m distance between biomass transects, was found to provide reasonable compromise between ease of use, accuracy, and cost of obtaining LiDAR data for the study area. Insights into other opportunities for further development in spatial modeling techniques are discussed.

Where am I? How migrant students negotiate the B.C. social studies curriculum
Creators: name: Thompson, Susan Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This research was designed to find out how migration is understood by high school students who have experienced it first-hand, and to investigate to what extent the prescribed social studies curriculum in British Columbia contributes to students’ grasp of geographical concepts that might give them a deeper and broader understanding of the migration experience. The study took place in an East Vancouver school that serves a neighbourhood of relatively low socio-economic status and high immigrant population. Six grade 12 students, from a variety of source nations, were interviewed firstly to capture the participants’ stories of migration, and secondly, to find out, using a range of visual sources, whether students are able to find connections between taught curriculum and their lived experience. Aspects of the work of Edward Soja and Wayne Au provide the theoretical frame for the study. A combination of narrative enquiry and grounded theory was used to analyse the findings. The research uncovers some of the ways in which migration has an impact on students’ everyday lives and everyday places. Further, it considers students’ knowledge as a potential starting point for developing more sophisticated geographic understandings through the social studies curriculum. Several practical suggestions are presented in regard to finding a new space for the study of geography in British Columbia.

description: A correlation for dynamic viscosity of aqueous lithium bromide solution is proposed. The correlation is based on an empirical approach accounting for physical limitations. The data are compiled from 11 sources over a temperature range from − 20 °C to 110 °C and from pure water to salt mass fractions of 65 %. The correlation succeeds in predicting the solution’s viscosity over the chosen range of measured data. In most parts of its validity range the accuracy is significantly improved compared to previous equations.

description: We consider the Born-Infeld type extension of (non-)critical gravity which is higher curvature gravity on Anti de-Sitter space with specific combinations of scalar curvature and Ricci tensor. This theory may also be viewed as a natural extension of three-dimensional Born-Infeld new massive gravity to arbitrary dimensions. We show that this extension is consistent with holographic $c$-theorem and scalar graviton modes are absent in this theory. After showing that ghost modes in the theory can be truncated consistently by appropriate boundary conditions, we argue that the theory is classically equivalent to Einstein gravity at the non-linear level. Black hole solutions are discussed in the view point of the full non-linear classical equivalence between the theory and Einstein gravity. Holographic entanglement entropy in the theory is also briefly commented on.

description: We review the neutrino flux from gamma-ray bursts, which is estimated from gamma-ray observations and used for the interpretation of recent IceCube data, from a particle physics perspective. We numerically calculate the neutrino flux for the same astrophysical assumptions as the analytical fireball neutrino model, including the dominant pion and kaon production modes, flavor mixing, and magnetic field effects on the secondary muons, pions, and kaons. We demonstrate that taking into account the full energy dependencies of all spectra, the normalization of the expected neutrino flux reduces by about one order of magnitude and the spectrum shifts to higher energies, where we can pin down the exact origin of the discrepancies by the re-computation of the analytical models. We also reproduce the IceCube-40 analysis for exactly the same bursts and same assumptions and illustrate the impact of uncertainties. We conclude that the baryonic loading of the fireballs, which is an important control parameter for the emission of cosmic rays, can be constrained significantly with the full-scale experiment after about ten years.

description: Structural properties of the clean Si(001) surface obtained as a result of low-temperature (470--650C) pre-growth annealings of silicon wafers in a molecular-beam epitaxy chamber have been investigated. To decrease the cleaning temperature, a silicon surface was hydrogenated in the process of a preliminary chemical treatment in HF and NH_4F aqueous solutions. It has been shown that smooth surfaces composed by wide terraces separated by monoatomic steps can be obtained by dehydrogenation at the temperatures > 600C, whereas clean surfaces obtained at the temperatures < 600C are rough. It has been found that there exists a dependence of structural properties of clean surfaces on the temperature of hydrogen thermal desorption and the process of the preliminary chemical treatment. The frequency of detachment/attachment of Si dimers from/to the steps and effect of the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier on ad-dimer migration across steps have been found to be the most probable factors determining a degree of the resultant surface roughness.

Our method extends also to "convex tube null sets", establishing a contrast with a theorem of Alberti, Csörnyei and Preiss on Lipschitz-null sets. The sets we construct are random, and the proofs depend on intersection properties of certain random fractal measures with curves.

In this paper we develop a quasi-local model for describing random potentials on metallic surfaces. In contrast to some previously published results, we find that patches may provide a significant contribution to the measured signal, and may render the experimental data at distances below 1 micrometer compatible with theoretical predictions based on the Drude model.

Non-adiabatic Quantum Vlasov Equation for Schwinger Pair Production
Creators: name: Kim, Sang Pyo
name: Schubert, Christian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using Lewis-Riesenfeld theory, we derive an exact non-adiabatic master equation describing the time evolution of the QED Schwinger pair production rate for a general time-varying electric field. This equation can be written equivalently as a first-order matrix equation, as a Vlasov type integral equation, or as a third-order differential equation. In the last version it relates to the KdV equation, which allows us to construct an exact solution using the well-known one-soliton solution to that equation. The case of time-like delta function pulse fields is also shortly considered. We compare with previous approaches to the purely time-dependent field case.

Local delivery of antimicrobial peptides from titanium surface for the prevention of implant-associated infections
Creators: name: Kazemzadeh-Narbat, Mehdi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Titanium (Ti) is a key biomedical material extensively used in orthopaedic implants. Prevention of implant-associated infections has been one of the main challenges in orthopaedic surgery. This challenge is further complicated by the concern over the development of antibiotic resistance as a result of using traditional antibiotics for infection prophylaxis. One of the promising alternatives is the family of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The present dissertation develops progressive approaches that enable the loading and local delivery of a unique group of cationic antimicrobial peptides through titanium implant surfaces. In the first technique, a thin layer of micro-porous calcium phosphate (CaP) coating was processed by electrolytic deposition onto the surface of titanium as the drug carrier. The AMP-loaded CaP coating was not cytotoxic for MG-63 osteoblast-like cells, and the implants showed high antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria with 10⁶-fold reductions of both bacterial strains within 30 min and ∼92% and ∼77% inhibition of luminescence at 4 h and 24 h, respectively. Second study investigated the in vitro AMP release, antimicrobial performance, and cytotoxicity of a modified Tet213 (HHC36), as well as the in vivo bone growth of AMP loaded into calcium phosphate coated Ti implants in a rabbit model. Burst release during the first few hours followed by a slow and steady release for 7 days was observed. In vivo bone growth study showed that loading of AMP did not impair bone growth onto the implants. In the last study multilayer thin films of titania nanotubes (NT) and CaP coatings were formulated with AMP and were topped with a thin phospholipid film similar to cell membrane. The films were shown to be non-cytotoxic, hydrophilic, with the potential of tuning loading and release kinetics of AMP. The best model describing the AMP release was first-order model. The first two approaches demonstrated a promising method for an early stage peri-implant infection treatment. The last study proposed a technique to improve the kinetics of AMP release and total loaded AMP quantity, and to increase the Ti interfacial strength while maintain the osteconductivity by applying CaP coating.
Cell Oscillation Resolution in Mobility Profile Building

description: This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. Mobility profile building became extensively examined area in Location based services (LBS) through extraction of significant locations. Mobility traces are recorded under three reference positioning systems that are Satellite based i.e. GPS, Network based i.e. GSM and Local positioning i.e. WLAN, RFID, IrDA. Satellite based and local positioning due to of high power consumption, additional resource installation, low accuracy and space limitation are less encouraging. So network based positioning i.e. GSM is only viable solution for mobility tracing through Cell global identity (CGI). CGI presents the Cell-ids to extract the significant locations from mobility history. However CGI faces cell oscillation problem, where user is assigned multiple Cell-Ids even at a stationary state for load balancing and GSM cells overlapping. In this paper we proposed two semi-supervised methodology for cell oscillation resolution i.e. semantic tagging and overlapped area clustering, the proposed methodologies are equally useful for the identification of significant places too.

Calculations of excess free energies of precipitates via direct thermodynamic integration across phase boundaries

description: We describe a technique for constraining macroscopic fluctuations in thermodynamic variables well-suited for Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of multiphase equilibria. In particular for multicomponent systems this amounts to a statistical ensemble that implements constraints on both the average composition as well as its fluctuations. The variance-constrained semi-grandcanonical (VC-SGC) ensemble allows for MC simulations, in which single-phase systems can be reversibly switched into multiphase equilibria allowing the calculation of excess free energies of precipitates of complex shapes by thermodynamic integration. The basic features as well as the scaling and convergence properties of this technique are demonstrated by application to an Ising model. Finally, the VC-SGC MC simulation technique is used to calculate alpha/alpha' interface free energies in Fe-Cr alloys as a function of orientation and temperature taking into account configurational, vibrational, and structural degrees of freedom.

description: Employing one plus two-body random matrix ensembles for bosons, temperature and entropy are calculated, using different definitions, as a function of the two-body interaction strength λfor a system with 10 bosons (m=10) in five single particle levels (N=5). It is found that in a region λ\sim λ_t, different definitions give essentially same values for temperature and entropy, thus defining a thermalization region. Also, (m,N) dependence of λ_t has been derived. It is seen that λ_t is much larger than the λvalues where level fluctuations change from Poisson to GOE and strength functions change from Breit-Wigner to Gaussian.
