Dai nodi-segnale alle strutture reticolari acentrate. Riflessioni progettuali sul binomio strada/paesaggio nel lavoro di Cesare Leonardi
Creators: name: Cillis, Marco
Publisher: name: Ri-Vista
Year: 2017

description: This paper regards the research on design carried out by Cesare Leonardi (Modena 1935) concerning the relationship between road and landscape. His professional work ranges from urban planning to industrial design, to photography and visual arts. Since the Eighties, he devoted himself to improving a design method for organising open public spaces. He developed the idea of A-centred Reticular Structures, which he used for several design proposals. The design for the enhancement of the landscape along Canaletto Road between Modena and Mirandola, the proposal for the landscape arrangement along the new motorway between Ferrara and Parma, and the competition for the new bypass in Arezzo, are all examples of his original investigation, and of how a road has to relate to both an inner and an outer landscape.

description: The transition to electric mobility in the road transportation sector has led to an increase in the
adoption of lithium batteries. Due to this adoption, electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion battery
(LiB) waste is an emerging concern. Moreover, if disposed of to landfill, LiBs pose a threat to
the environment and on human health. Research has shown end of life (EOL) EV LiBs contain
residual capacity and valuable materials. To avail this value and mitigate the adverse disposal
to landfill, circular economy (CE) principles have been considered and proposed.
Consequently, circular business models (CBMs) act as a tool to implement CE principles. The
literature review revealed a lack of research on the development of CBMs in the Australian
context. Hence, this research aims to identify the key factors required to develop a CBM for
EOL EV LiBs in Australia.

To achieve this objective, a qualitative methodology was adopted following an inductive based
approach and semi – structured interviews were selected as a method of data collection. A total
of 19 interviews involving 22 participants were conducted and participants were categorised
based on stakeholder groups identified through the literature review. The interview data was
validated using data triangulation, and thereafter, a thematic analysis was used to develop six
major themes from the interview data. As a subset of these themes, several findings emerged
focusing on the scenario of EOL EV LiBs in Australia and identifying context-specific drivers
and barriers to develop a CBM. Of note, a major theme identified was that repurposing of EV
LiBs faces greater challenges than recycling in Australia. Additionally, the influence of federal
and state-based policies play an important role in the development of CBMs in Australia.
A noteworthy finding from this study highlights drivers and barriers compared to the literature
review vary due to dependence on overseas nations and presence of unknown variables due to
a smaller market scenario. Overall, the major considerations for stakeholders to adopt a
comprehensive view on the development of CBMs relies closely on the influence of
government regulations and collaboration between government, industry, and academic
institutions. As such, strategic interventions such as ‘stewardship schemes’ and ‘pilot
initiatives’, ‘vertical integration’, ‘leasing models’ and ‘co-locating pre-processing facilities’
were proposed using a process flow diagram which represent key factors required to develop a
CBM for EOL EV LiBs in Australia. These key factors enable stakeholders to gain a deeper
understanding of the Australian context and consequently implement CBMs that create value
adding opportunities.
Forest Matrix. Towards Architecture for pluralism, diversity, minorities, alternatives

description: Architecture and constructing are the main tools that both the present and the bygone civilizations have used to tame and articulate Nature. Structures of living, production and movement have in a short period of time overlaid primeval and complex ecosystems everywhere on the planet. What is coming next and where are we heading? The biological and cultural background of Man is the forest, the matrix of Nature. Many of the words and concepts describing our contemporary society still have their root in the space and symbols of the forest. Living in a forest has left a trace, a tradition which is part of our common memory. The loss of this connection would be both a biological and a cultural catastrophe.Good architecture in the future should therefore be related more to gardening than to constructing: planting seeds first in the small scale of a home, then of the neighbourhood, and finally growing into the scale of a city. This new type of growth should be based more on a sort of labyrinthine clarity, on a space that is experienced and memorized rather than exposed, and thus full of meaning. Like a forest. As architects, we have entered into a deep and dark forest, a space without fixed points of reference, where we must learn how to survive and how to find our bearings. The current economic crisis is making us rethink our attitudes toward development and therefore toward architecture and design. A crisis that has got spatial consequences, reshaping our cities and our way of living, and thus also our way of approaching design. The role of the architect has been changing so fast over the past few years that the future of architecture must be reinvented. We need to find a clearing in the woods, a place where we can sit and enjoy our surroundings, the landscape, life.

description: On April 4-7 the final international conference of the COST FP1204 project ‘Green Infrastructure: nature based solutions for sustainable and resilient cities’ was held in Orvieto. The activities of COST began in 2013, linking environmental with social aspects in studying and managing urban forests. The challenge arises from a paradox. Urbanisation is increasing worldwide: on the one hand, pressure on agriculture, forests and open land for urban development is growing whilst on the other green infrastructures are seen as critical to a good quality of life for urban dwellers. The conference addresses this paradox by offering a broad multidisciplinary point of view, and international applications in a variety of contexts.

description: H. Hotelling proved that in the n-dimensional Euclidean or spherical space, the volume of a tube of small radius about a curve depends only on the length of the curve and the radius. A. Gray and L. Vanhecke extended Hotelling's theorem to rank one symmetric spaces computing the volumes of the tubes explicitly in these spaces. In the present paper, we generalize these results by showing that every harmonic manifold has the above tube property. We compute the volume of tubes in the Damek-Ricci spaces. We show that if a Riemannian manifold has the tube property, then it is a 2-stein D'Atri space. We also prove that a symmetric space has the tube property if and only if it is harmonic. Our results answer some questions posed by L. Vanhecke, T. J. Willmore, and G. Thorbergsson.

Uniqueness issues for evolution equations with density constraints

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we present some basic uniqueness results for evolutive equations under density constraints. First, we develop a rigorous proof of a well-known result (among specialists) in the case where the spontaneous velocity field satisfies a monotonicity assumption: we prove the uniqueness of a solution for first order systems modeling crowd motion with hard congestion effects, introduced recently by \emph{Maury et al.} The monotonicity of the velocity field implies that the $2-$Wasserstein distance along two solutions is $λ$-contractive, which in particular implies uniqueness. In the case of diffusive models, we prove the uniqueness of a solution passing through the dual equation, where we use some well-known parabolic estimates to conclude an $L^1-$contraction property. In this case, by the regularization effect of the non-degenerate diffusion, the result follows even if the given velocity field is only $L^\infty$ as in the standard Fokker-Planck equation.

Global aspects of the reducibility of quasiperiodic cocycles in semisimple compact Lie groups

description: In this mémoire we study quasiperiodic cocycles in semi-simple compact Lie groups. For the greatest part of our study, we will focus ourselves to one-frequency cocyles. We will prove that $C^{\infty}$ reducible cocycles are dense in the $C^{\infty}$ topology, for a full measure set of frequencies. Moreover, we will show that every cocycle (or an appropriate iterate of it, if homotopy appears as an obstruction) is almost torus-reducible (i.e. can be conjugated arbitrarily close to cocycles taking values in an abelian subgroup of G). In the course of the proof we will firstly define two invariants of the dynamics, which we will call energy and degree and which give a preliminary distinction between (almost-)reducible and non-reducible cocycles. We will then take up the proof of the density theorem. We will show that an algorithm of renormalization converges to perturbations of simple models, indexed by the degree. Finally, we will analyze these perturbations using methods inspired by K.A.M. theory.

description: Dental esthetics, also known as cosmetic dentistry, focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and overall smile. It combines artistry and dental science to enhance a patient's smile and thereby boost their self-confidence. Class III dental caries occur between the front teeth, making them visible when smiling or speaking, which can affect dental esthetics. Composite resins have become a cornerstone in contemporary dentistry due to their versatility, aesthetic appeal, minimally invasive and functional benefits. This case report illustrates the successful esthetic management of class III caries by using direct composite restoration in maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth.

Introductory Guide To Understanding Misogyny And The Far-Right

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023

description: The right-wing spectrum consists of many sub-variants of ideology; however, all actors in the right-wing landscape are – to varying degrees – ‘right of’ centre on the political spectrum. Essential features of groups and individuals on the far-right end of the spectrum include ultra-nationalism, racism, xenophobia, anti-democracy/anti-government and advocacy for a strong state. These belief systems can be held at varying levels on the spectrum, with some tending more easily to support violent expressions.
 The right-wing spectrum comprises of, and is influenced by, everything from political parties and organisations to social movements, as well as the media, academic institutions and think tanks. Often the line between mainstream and extreme is blurred, with some right-wing groups combining political participation and at times violent forms of activism and expression.
 The current global political and social climate, including the escalating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, has encouraged the spread and mainstreaming of this threat, as well as the adoption and adaptation by some far-right groups of political speech, left-wing causes, and pop cultural symbols. Consequently, governments and international bodies are increasingly recognising the threat posed by the far-right, both at national and international levels.
title: Essays on spatial economics

Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2022

description: What are the causes and consequences of the spatial variation of economic activities both within and across cities? To contribute to our understanding of this question, the two chapters in this PhD thesis seek to advance two research agendas. The first is an understanding of the causes of the spatial variation in structural transformation in a country and how this affects spatial inequality and the upward income mobility of workers. The second is addressing the mechanisms that shape the internal structure of a city in a developing country. The approach to both is a mix of theory and empirics, leveraging the structure of the model for identification. The first chapter develops a dynamic overlapping generations model of economic geography to explain variation in structural transformation across space and time. Despite the heterogeneity across locations, sectors, and time, the model remains tractable and is calibrated to match metropolitan area data for the U.S. economy from 1980 to 2010. The calibration allows us to back out measures of upward mobility and inequality, thereby providing theoretical underpinnings to the geographical variation of upward mobility and spatial inequality. The counterfactual analysis shows that structural transformation in the last decades has had substantial effects on mobility. The second chapter studies how quantitative urban models can be calibrated in the data-sparse environments in developing countries using data from Dhaka. In particular, this paper shows how newly available satellite data on building heights can be used to estimate the housing supply elasticity. With the model parameters, we can also estimate the price of land and floor space in the city, which are prices that are usually difficult to observe for cities in developing countries directly. This paper also presents model counterfactuals to illustrate how essential it is to understand the general equilibrium impacts of the policy change.
Tetti giardino: una proposta per Londra alla fine dell’Ottocento

Publisher: name: Ri-Vista

description: The Nineteenth century proposals on growth control and for the renewal of London, defined as the New Babylon, ascribe to greenery a primary role. Benjamin Ward Richardson, in his essay Upper and Under London in The Common-health. A series of essays on health and felicity for every-day readers (1887), aims to transform the roofs of the metropolis into an aerial garden. Richardson, outstanding hygienist, reformer and prolific populariser, is closely interested in urban health and imagines a renewed London, achieved through the construction of roof gardens, or garden terraces, above every house, each of them connected to each other through a network of bridges allowing access to everyone. The hygienic advantages are united to a very suggestive result in terms of landscape. Alfred Richard Sennett, in his treatise Garden Cities in theory and practice (1905), refers to that proposal and illustrates it with four photographic images.

description: The reopening of the covered stretch of the inland waterway called Naviglio Martesana which flows in Milan is an extraordinary occasion to regenerate via Melchiorre Gioia, a main road, 40 m wide and 2,5 km long: a complex and inhospitable urban space, where the strong contrast between the unity given by its straight course (originated by the sixteenth-century project which was at the base) and the heterogeneity of its formal and functional characters, is immediately perceivable. The project proposes the replacement of the actual underground hydraulic system with a new open channel and a lowered quay, along which local public and commercial activities are envisaged. A real "street in the street", protected from traffic, which continues the bikeway of Naviglio Martesana (about 40 km) as far as Porta Nuova district, reinterpreting in a contemporary way the potentialities of its original Renaissance conception.

description: We prove a characterization of profinite algebras, i.e., topological algebras that are isomorphic to a projective limit of finite discrete algebras. In general profiniteness concerns both the topological and algebraic characteristics of a topological algebra, whereas for topological groups, rings, semigroups, and distributive lattices, profiniteness turns out to be a purely topological property as it is is equivalent to the underlying topological space being a Stone space. Condensing the core idea of those classical results, we introduce the concept of affine boundedness for an arbitrary universal algebra and show that for an affinely bounded topological algebra over a compact signature profiniteness is equivalent to the underlying topological space being a Stone space. Since groups, semigroups, rings, and distributive lattices are indeed affinely bounded algebras over finite signatures, all these known cases arise as special instances of our result. Furthermore, we present some additional applications concerning topological semirings and their modules, as well as distributive associative algebras. We also deduce that any affinely bounded simple compact algebra over a compact signature is either connected or finite. Towards proving the main result, we also establish that any topological algebra is profinite if and only if its underlying space is a Stone space and its translation monoid is equicontinuous.

SPLUNC1 expression reduces surface levels of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in Xenopus laevis oocytes

description: Throughout the body, the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) plays a critical role in salt and liquid homeostasis. In cystic fibrosis airways, for instance, improper regulation of ENaC results in hyperabsorption of sodium that causes dehydration of airway surface liquid. This dysregulation then contributes to mucus stasis and chronic lung infections. ENaC is known to undergo proteolytic cleavage, which is required for its ability to conduct Na+ ions. We have previously shown that the short, palate lung and nasal epithelial clone (SPLUNC1) binds to and inhibits ENaC in both airway epithelia and in Xenopus laevis oocytes. In this study, we found that SPLUNC1 was more potent at inhibiting ENaC than either SPLUNC2 or long PLUNC1 (LPLUNC1), two other PLUNC family proteins that are also expressed in airway epithelia. Furthermore, we were able to shed light on the potential mechanism of SPLUNC1's inhibition of ENaC. While SPLUNC1 did not inhibit proteolytic activity of trypsin, it significantly reduced ENaC currents by reducing the number of ENaCs in the plasma membrane. A better understanding of ENaC's regulation by endogenous inhibitors may aid in the development of novel therapies designed to inhibit hyperactive ENaC in cystic fibrosis epithelia.

description: Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is an important Ca2+ influx pathway, which is defined by the fact that depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores, mainly the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), triggers the opening of Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. The best characterized SOC channel is the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel, which was first described in cells of the immune system but has since been reported in many different cell types. CRAC channels are multimers of ORAI family proteins, of which ORAI1 is the best characterized. They are activated by stromal interaction molecules (STIM) 1 and 2, which respond to the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with oligomerization and binding to ORAI proteins. The resulting SOCE is critical for the physiological function of many cell types including immune cells and platelets. Recent studies using cell lines, animal models and primary cells from human patients with defects in SOCE have highlighted the importance of this Ca2+ entry mechanism in a variety of pathophysiological processes. This review focuses on the role of SOCE in immunity to infection, allergy, hemostasis and cancer.

Currency target zone modeling: An interplay between physics and economics

description: We study the performance of the euro/Swiss franc exchange rate in the extraordinary period from September 6, 2011 and January 15, 2015 when the Swiss National Bank enforced a minimum exchange rate of 1.20 Swiss francs per euro. Based on the analogy between Brownian motion in finance and physics, the first-order effect of such a steric constraint would enter a priori in the form of a repulsive entropic force associated with the paths crossing the barrier that are forbidden. Non-parametric empirical estimates of drift and volatility show that the predicted first-order analogy between economics and physics are incorrect. The clue is to realise that the random walk nature of financial prices results from the continuous anticipations of traders about future opportunities, whose aggregate actions translate into an approximate efficient market with almost no arbitrage opportunities. With the Swiss National Bank stated commitment to enforce the barrier, traders's anticipation of this action leads to a vanishing drift together with a volatility of the exchange rate that depends on the distance to the barrier. We give direct quantitative empirical evidence that this effect is well described by Krugman's target zone model [P.R. Krugman. The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 106(3):669-682, 1991]. Motivated by the insights from this economical model, we revise the initial economics-physics analogy and show that, within the context of hindered diffusion, the two systems can be described with the same mathematics after all. Using a recently proposed extended analogy in terms of a colloidal Brownian particle embedded in a fluid of molecules associated with the underlying order book, we derive that, close to the restricting boundary, the dynamics of both systems is described by a stochastic differential equation with a very small constant drift and a linear diffusion coefficient.

description: Collection and preparation of empirical data still represent one of the most important, but also expensive steps in ecological and evolutionary/systematic research. Modern machine learning approaches, however, have the potential to automate a variety of tasks, which until recently could only be performed manually. Unfortunately, the application of such methods by researchers outside the field is hampered by technical difficulties. Here, we present GinJinn2, a user-friendly toolbox for deep learning-based object detection and instance segmentation on image data. Besides providing a convenient command-line interface to existing software libraries, it comprises several additional tools for data handling, pre- and postprocessing, and building advanced analysis pipelines. We demonstrate the application of GinJinn2 for biological purposes using four exemplary analyses, namely the evaluation of seed mixtures, detection of insects on glue traps, segmentation of stomata and extraction of leaf silhouettes from herbarium specimens. GinJinn2, by providing a coding-free environment, will enable users with a primary background in biology to apply deep learning-based methods for object detection and segmentation in order to automate feature extraction from image data.

description: Clustering algorithms partition data objects into a certain number of clusters, where a cluster is described in terms of internal homogeneity and external separation. A new clustering algorithm CSHARP is presented for the purpose of finding clusters of arbitrary shapes and arbitrary densities in high dimensional feature spaces. It can be considered as a variation of the Shared Nearest Neighbor algorithm (SNN), in which each sample data point votes for the points in its k-nearest neighborhood. Sets of points sharing a common mutual nearest neighbor are considered as dense regions/blocks. These blocks are the seeds from which clusters may grow up. Therefore, CSHARP is not a point-to-point clustering algorithm. Rather, it is a block-to-block clustering technique. Much of its advantages come from these facts: Noise points and outliers correspond to blocks of small sizes, and homogeneous blocks highly overlap. This technique is not prone to merge clusters of different densities or different homogeneity. The algorithm has been applied to a variety of low and high dimensional data sets with superior results over existing techniques such as DBScan, K-means, Chameleon, Mitosis and Spectral Clustering. The quality of its results as well as its time complexity, place it at the front of these techniques.
Selfishly Eating Up the Planet? The influence of selfishness, empathy, motivation, religion, and gender on the consumption of meat and willingness to reduce animal product consumption

description: As the human behaviour of eating animal products is linked to several global issues spanning the environment, health, and the suffering of trillions of animals, understanding the psychology of animal product consumption and reduction may contribute to solving them. Psychological selfishness has not been explored in this area and was combined in this research with indicators of animal-oriented empathy, motivations, willingness, religion, and gender to determine what role they played in meat consumption and animal product reduction via a quantitative and cross-sectional research design. As this thesis is by publication, three articles describe the research carried out. An Australian sample, N = 497 for the first and third studies and N = 492 in the second were surveyed via Zoho Survey online. Article one reported that higher empathy and lower selfishness were accompanied by lower meat consumption for males but not females, suggesting other factors may influence meat consumption for females. Animal, environmental, and health motivations were positively associated with the psychological factors for males, implying that all motivations are convincing to males. Females’ health and animal motivations were positively associated with empathy, and selfishness with environmental motivation. In article two, environmental motivation was the most significant influence of the three motivations on willingness to reduce animal product consumption. The next was animal motivation. In contrast, health motivation had a negative association with willingness; the belief that meat is healthy may be working against willingness. One psychological factor, pathological selfishness, predicted willingness. Article three revealed higher meat consumption groups reported higher selfishness. This was superseded by the interaction effect, where religious groups with higher meat consumption had higher pathological selfishness than non-religious high consumers. This thesis met its aim by adding a novel contribution to understanding the psychological and sociodemographic factors related to animal product consumption and reduction.
