description: We analyze the results of long-term observations of broad-line region (BLR) in the Sy1 galaxy NGC 5548 and provide a critical comparison with the predictions of a hydromagnetically-driven outflow model of Emmering, Blandford and Shlosman. This model was used to generate a time series of CIV line profiles that have responded to a time varying continuum. The model includes cloud emission anisotropy, cloud obscuration, a CLOUDY-generated emissivity function and a narrow-line component used to generate the line profiles, and is driven with continuum input based on the monitoring campaigns of NGC 5548. The line strengths, profiles and lags are compared with the observations. It reproduces the basic features of CIV line variability in this AGN without varying the model parameters. The best fit model provides the effective size, the dominant geometry, the emissivity distribution and the 3D velocity field of the CIV BLR and constrains the mass of the central BH. The inner part of the wind appears to be responsible for the anisotropically emitted CIV line, while its outer part remains dusty and molecular, thus having similar spectral characteristics to a molecular torus, although its dynamics is fundamentally different. In addition, our model predicts a differential response across the CIV line profile, producing a red-side-first response in the mid-wings followed by the blue mid-wing and by the line core. Based on the comparison of data and model cross-correlation functions and 1D and 2D transfer functions, we find that the rotating outflow model is compatible with observations of the BLR in NGC 5548.

description: We consider the problem of recovering an underwater image distorted by surface waves. A large amount of video data of the distorted image is acquired. The problem is posed in terms of finding an undistorted image patch at each spatial location. This challenging reconstruction task can be formulated as a manifold learning problem, such that the center of the manifold is the image of the undistorted patch. To compute the center, we present a new technique to estimate global distances on the manifold. Our technique achieves robustness through convex flow computations and solves the “leakage” problem inherent in recent manifold embedding techniques.
Il diritto e l’embrione come soggetto di narrazioni

Subjects: Biolaw; Legal status of embryo, biopolitcs and bioethics, “case narratives”, balancing test, intergenerational solidarity

description: Starting from the assumption that biopolitics and bioethics are built on “case narratives”, the article traces the main and opposing “narratives” on the legal status of the embryo, which, for some, is a subject of rights, to be balanced with those of others who are already fully formed persons, while for others, it is living matter whose dignity is to be safeguarded, albeit as entities without personality. We briefly comment the ECHR judgment Parrillo v. Italy and the Italian Constitutional Court’s decision nr. 84/2016 in the light of the idea that scientific experimentation on embryos that have not been specifically produced, but are already existing and cryopreserved though not implantable and not “adopted for birth”, could be legitimised (because they would in any case be destroyed as things), understanding their dignity in terms of the benefits they bring, from a perspective of intergenerational solidarity.

description: We investigate the properties of holographic heat engines with an uncharged accelerating non-rotating AdS black hole as the working substance in a benchmarking scheme. We find that the efficiencies of the black hole heat engines can be influenced by both the size of the benchmark circular cycle and the cosmic string tension as a thermodynamic variable. In general, the efficiency can be increased by enlarging the cycle, but is still constrained by a universal bound $2π/(π+4)$ as expected. A cross-comparison of the efficiencies of the accelerating black hole heat engines and Schwarzschild-AdS black hole heat engines suggests that the acceleration also increases the efficiency although the amount of increase is not remarkable.

Subjects: medically assisted reproduction; frozen human embryos; human embryonic stem cell research; constitutional case‐law; European Court of Human Rights; precautionary principle; right to life; principle of utility.

description: The Constitutional Court has returned to the Parliament the choice about the possibility of using human embryos for research. The Court acknowledges that it is an ethical controversial issue and recognizes that the evaluation should be made by the Parliament. For this reason, the Court’s decision can be defined as prudent. The issue remains that of understanding why the earlier case-law has annulled those parts of the law that established choices on issues that were also very much debated, that are equally important from an ethical standpoint. So far, the Constitutional Court has further accentuated the principle of utility – in reference to “needs of procreation” – in respect to the principle of protection of the unborn life, having denied the request of unconstitutionality of the testing of embryo prohibition perhaps may be an answer to a different logic. The current forecast of Law 40 endorses a logic of caution and responsibility, which bans the use of embryos for research. Especially as the research through embryonic stem cells so far has not led to any clinical trial and, most recently, genetic engineering has come to produce genetically modified human embryos, which the scientists themselves, for now, have decided not to implant in uterus.

Canola Disputes in Canada-China Agricultural Trade: A Chinese Policy Perspective
Creators: name: Wang, Zhiduo
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Contrary to the narrative that presents the latest round of trade disputes between Canada and China with respect to canola as Chinese retaliation for Meng Wanzhou’s extradition arrest, a retrospective and systematic review of China’s agricultural policies helps to understand the broader political and economic context behind China’s latest decision to block canola imports from Canada. This is not to say that Ms. Meng’s arrest does not play a role in the latest dispute; however, as this report makes clear, the dispute reflects deeper structural trends in China’s agricultural policy. This means that canola trade between Canada and China is unlikely to resume its previous long-term growth path once the current dispute is resolved. Based on an analysis of trade data, of two previous canola disputes between Canada and China, and of Chinese agricultural policies, this report offers a Chinese policy perspective on the current Canada-China canola dispute. As such, it explores the domestic socio-economic factors and external pressures underlying China’s restrictions on Canadian canola imports in 2009 and 2016. Tracking the evolution of China’s agricultural policy, it is clear that China planned to limit canola imports, due to its concerns of food security and self-sufficiency, long before the unexpected ongoing Canada-China tensions. The analysis indicates that China has not only been adjusting it agricultural structure to enhance its food security but it has also been advancing the “Belt and Road” initiative (BRI) to diversify its imported food supply. This report concludes that the current crisis could have been mitigated if Canadian canola industry had paid closer attention to long-term agricultural policy developments in China. To avoid the same problem repeating itself in the future, it is essential for the Canadian canola industry and governments at the federal and provincial levels to understand what China’s long-term policy goals and actions are.

description: We present proper motion measurements for carbon stars found during the APM Survey for Cool Carbon Stars in the Galactic Halo (Totten & Irwin, 1998). Measurements are obtained using a combination of POSSI, POSSII and UKST survey plates supplemented where necessary by CCD frames taken at the Isaac Newton Telescope. We find no significant proper motion for any of the new APM colour-selected carbon stars and so conclude that there are no dwarf carbon stars present within this sample. We also present proper motion measurements for three previously known dwarf carbon stars and demonstrate that these measurements agree favourably with those previously quoted in the literature, verifying our method of determining proper motions. Results from a complimentary program of JHK photometry obtained at the South African Astronomical Observatory are also presented. Dwarf carbon stars are believed to have anomalous near-infrared colours, and this feature is used for further investigation of the nature of the APM carbon stars. Our results support the use of JHK photomtery as a dwarf/giant discriminator and also reinforce the conclusion that none of the new APM-selected carbon stars are dwarfs. Finally, proper motion measurements combined with extant JHK photometry are presented for a sample of previously known Halo carbon stars, suggesting that one of these stars, CLS29, is likely to be a previously unrecognised dwarf carbon star.

Search for $R$-parity violating supersymmetry in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV using b jets in a final state with a single lepton, many jets, and high sum of large-radius jet masses

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results are reported from a search for physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV. The search uses a signature of a single lepton, large jet and bottom quark jet multiplicities, and high sum of large-radius jet masses, without any requirement on the missing transverse momentum in an event. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. No significant excess beyond the prediction from standard model processes is observed. The results are interpreted in terms of upper limits on the production cross section for $R$-parity violating supersymmetric extensions of the standard model using a benchmark model of gluino pair production, in which each gluino decays promptly via $ {\mathrm{\widetilde{g}}} \rightarrow \mathrm{t} \mathrm{b} \mathrm{s} $. Gluinos with a mass below 1610 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level.

description: In order to analyze data on joint charged-particle/photon distributions from an experimental search (T-864, MiniMax) for disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we have identified robust observables, ratios of normalized bivariate factorial moments, with many desirable properties. These include insensitivity to many efficiency corrections and the details of the modeling of the primary pion production, and sensitivity to the production of DCC, as opposed to the generic, binomial-distribution partition of pions into charged and neutral species. The relevant formalism is developed and tested in Monte-Carlo simulations of the MiniMax experimental conditions.

Border Management Strategies and Cultures in Ancient Greece

Subjects: cross-border commuters, federal states, borders, cross-border cooperation, interconnectivity

description: The project FeBo –Federalism and Border Management in Greek Antiquity (ERC 2021 COG PR. Nr. 101043954) aims at investigating the border-management strategies and cultures that stabilised the inter-and intra-federal border zones and thus contributed to the success of the koina that adopted those strategiesto the best effect.There are cases in which the strong receptive and creative capacity of a centre with respect to interactions with neighbouring centres makes this same centre of particular strategic relevance and thus of absolute interest to a koinon gravitating in neighbouring areas. In other cases, the considerable capacity for cross-border interaction gives rise to forms of cross-border cooperation so significant that a legal definition is possible and necessary. Quite common are the so-called koinai chorai, border areas with economic significance, declared ‘common’ and open to joint exploitation by several communities. There are also cases where the evidence suggests that forms of strong receptivity and interactive creativity as well as cross-border cooperation in and between border areas played a primary role for the integration of areas which were newly acquired by koinain a phase of expansion. Their border porosity is often a product of the recurrent passage of individuals we would call cross-border commuters: athletes often play a role as interstate arbitrators and mediators in political conflicts, roles which were often assumed in the context of political conflicts with or within federal states
Questioni di costituzionalità inammissibili per mancanza di consenso tra gli scienziati (a margine di Corte cost. n. 84 del 2016, in tema di divieto di utilizzo di embrioni crioconservati a finalità di ricerca)

Year: 2016
Subjects: : Cryopreserved embryos, prohibition of research use, lack of consensus among scientists, inadmissible constitutional case

description: The note critically addresses the Constitutional Court’s ruling no. 84/2016, highlighting that the final rejection (inadmissibility) of the constitutional issue con-cerning the section of Law no. 40/2004 that bans the use of cryopreserved embryos for research purposes, eventually is based on the lack of consensus among scholars, especially scientists. But, if it is so, this solution should then prevail in every bio-law case. The Court expressly invokes Legislator’s action as the most appropriate for re-versing that legal prohibition, but at the same time it offers some hints about the po-tential contents of future legislation. In the Court’s view, the Constitution should re-main silent until the Science speaks (but there is no single “voice” in scientific debates); in the meantime, only the Legislator could rule on the issue at stake. The author nonetheless observes that, pending the law-making process, judges could supply as well. In a subsidiary logic, they could hand in to scientists the unusable embryos for research purposes, mostly considering that these would be finally wasted.

Geometric characterization of nodal domains: the area-to-perimeter ratio

description: In an attempt to characterize the distribution of forms and shapes of nodal domains in wave functions, we define a geometric parameter - the ratio $ρ$ between the area of a domain and its perimeter, measured in units of the wavelength $1/\sqrt{E}$. We show that the distribution function $P(ρ)$ can distinguish between domains in which the classical dynamics is regular or chaotic. For separable surfaces, we compute the limiting distribution, and show that it is supported by an interval, which is independent of the properties of the surface. In systems which are chaotic, or in random-waves, the area-to-perimeter distribution has substantially different features which we study numerically. We compare the features of the distribution for chaotic wave functions with the predictions of the percolation model to find agreement, but only for nodal domains which are big with respect to the wavelength scale. This work is also closely related to, and provides a new point of view on isoperimetric inequalities.

description: Romantic psychology is first specified in counter-distinction to Enlightenment-informed faculty-psychology, whose scientific paradigm is fundamentally materialistic and mechanistic. Romantic psychology is then presented through Fr. Schlegel’s theory and practice of the literary fragment. In the fragment, we discover selfhood that is self-positing, powered by electro-chemical forces and enlivened by the stimulating Other. Romantic psychology determines the self as an ironic system, complete and yet organically open to other selves. It is phenomenological in nature and its contemporary legacy can be found in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytical hermeneutics.

description: A numerical simulation infrastructure capable of calculating the flow of gas and the trajectories of particles through an aerodynamic lens injector is presented. The simulations increase the fundamental understanding and predict optimized injection geometries and parameters. Our simulation results were compared to previous reports and also validated against experimental data for 500 nm polystyrene spheres from an aerosol-beam- characterization setup. The simulations yielded a detailed understanding of the radial phase-space distribution and highlighted weaknesses of current aerosol injectors for single-particle diffractive imaging. With the aid of these simulations we developed new experimental implementations to overcome current limitations.

description: Abstract: "When large Multi Agent Systems operate over open platforms such as the Internet, there is the possibility that some agents will endeavor to disrupt the MAS with the aim of achieving their own agendas at the cost of the others. For the protection of the agents in it's [sic] domain, each society of agents should make available certain services that allow agents to detect and avoid such attempts by malicious third parties. One of these is a rigorous method of identifying agents, so that each agent's actions can be referred to, recorded and evaluated. A robust identification mechanism can allow the construction of higher level-functions such as authentication, non-repudiation and secure communication. Agents can then use these basic functions provided by the MAS infrastructure along with their beliefs, current state of the MAS and the current goals to make decisions about trust. In this paper we present one architecture that allows agents to be named robustly, even in open environments, and build upon this scheme to provide MAS services that can allow agents to authenticate each other, digitally sign communication tokens and encrypt messages and data that is exchanged. We explore possible scenarios of the agent life in an open agent society and give an implementation independent architecture to secure agents and their environment."
Advection-dominated Inflow/Outflows from Evaporating Accretion Disks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In this Letter we investigate the properties of advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) fed by the evaporation of a Shakura-Sunyaev accretion disk (SSD). In our picture the ADAF fills the central cavity evacuated by the SSD and extends beyond the transition radius into a coronal region. We find that, because of global angular momentum conservation, a significant fraction of the hot gas flows away from the black hole forming a transsonic wind, unless the injection rate depends only weakly on radius (if $r^2\dotσ\propto r^{-ξ}$, $ξ< 1/2$). The Bernoulli number of the inflowing gas is negative if the transition radius is $\lesssim 100$ Schwarzschild radii, so matter falling into the hole is gravitationally bound. The ratio of inflowing to outflowing mass is $\approx 1/2$, so in these solutions the accretion rate is of the same order as in standard ADAFs and much larger than in advection-dominated inflow/outflow models (ADIOS). The possible relevance of evaporation-fed solutions to accretion flows in black hole X-ray binaries is briefly discussed.

description: As the number of contributors to online peer-production systems grows, it becomes increasingly important to predict whether the edits that users make will eventually be beneficial to the project. Existing solutions either rely on a user reputation system or consist of a highly specialized predictor that is tailored to a specific peer-production system. In this work, we explore a different point in the solution space that goes beyond user reputation but does not involve any content-based feature of the edits. We view each edit as a game between the editor and the component of the project. We posit that the probability that an edit is accepted is a function of the editor's skill, of the difficulty of editing the component and of a user-component interaction term. Our model is broadly applicable, as it only requires observing data about who makes an edit, what the edit affects and whether the edit survives or not. We apply our model on Wikipedia and the Linux kernel, two examples of large-scale peer-production systems, and we seek to understand whether it can effectively predict edit survival: in both cases, we provide a positive answer. Our approach significantly outperforms those based solely on user reputation and bridges the gap with specialized predictors that use content-based features. It is simple to implement, computationally inexpensive, and in addition it enables us to discover interesting structure in the data.

description: We conducted a very long baseline interferometric observation of 5 nearby pulsars and did not resolve the scattering disks of any of these sources. Using our upper limits on the angular diameters of these scattering disks and published values of the broadening times and proper motion velocities, we constrain the possible distributions of scattering material. The material responsible for scattering these sources is neither uniformly distributed nor concentrated at the surface of the Local Bubble. We argue that these pulsars themselves influence their environments to produce this scattering material.

Subjects: unusable cryo-preserved embryos, political question, constitutional balance, legislative discretion, “principled adjunctive” decision as a possible alternative solution

description: The Constitutional Court Decision no. 84/2016 addresses a typical political question. The Court eludes the problem by means of a controversial “downgrading” of the balancing from a constitutional to a legislative level and declaring the question inadmissible. Nevertheless, behind the formal rejection, a possible solution on the merits comes up through the lines: a hypothetical different balancing in favour of health and scientific research would be not automatically unconstitutional, but it pertain only to the Legislator. Thus, although the Court could have adopted a “principled adjunctive” decision, it preferred not to decide at all, but at the same time it set the basis for a future legislative reforms in favour of the scientific research.

description: This article argues that we can construct a complex interpretation of time by linking Aciman’s work to aspects of twentieth century philosophy and psychoanalysis. Briefly, it attempts to demonstrate the roles of dislocation, deferral, and Otherness in constituting human temporality. The essay begins by surmising the conceptual history of time, touching on key ideas put forward by Augustine and Bergson. The second section takes a psychoanalytic turn, after exploring Homo Irrealis, to describe the significance of desire and fantasy. Thirdly, we develop a unique and temporal application of difference and deferral, building off of Deleuze and Derrida. The fourth section will consider how the psychoanalytic concept of the Other is inhered within time. We conclude that an Acimanic analysis of time is the means by which we can understand existence not as a series of moments, but a rich progression of dissimilitude and Otherness defined moreso by its lack of cohesion and directness of being than by a unified and self-identifying subject.
Estimation of the Sensitive Volume for Gravitational-wave Source Populations Using Weighted Monte Carlo Integration

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The population analysis and estimation of merger rates of compact binaries is one of the important topics in gravitational wave (GW) astronomy. The primary ingredient in these analyses is the population-averaged sensitive volume. Typically, sensitive volume, of a given search to a given simulated source population, is estimated by drawing signals from the population model and adding them to the detector data as injections. Subsequently injections, which are simulated gravitational waveforms, are searched for by the search pipelines and their signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is determined. Sensitive volume is estimated, by using Monte-Carlo (MC) integration, from the total number of injections added to the data, the number of injections that cross a chosen threshold on SNR and the astrophysical volume in which the injections are placed. So far, only fixed population models have been used in the estimation of the merger rates. However, as the scope of population analysis broaden in terms of the methodologies and source properties considered, due to an increase in the number of observed GW signals, the procedure will need to be repeated multiple times at a large computational cost. In this letter we address the problem by performing a weighted MC integration. We show how a single set of generic injections can be weighted to estimate the sensitive volume for multiple population models; thereby greatly reducing the computational cost. The weights in this MC integral are the ratios of the output probabilities, determined by the population model and standard cosmology, and the injection probability, determined by the distribution function of the generic injections. Unlike analytical/semi-analytical methods, which usually estimate sensitive volume using single detector sensitivity, the method is accurate within statistical errors, comes at no added cost and requires minimal computational resources.

description: Biomedical applications of plasmonic nanoparticle conjugates need control over their optical properties modulated by surface coating with stabilizing or targeting molecules often attached to or embedded in the secondary functionalization shell, such as silica. Although current numerical techniques can simulate the plasmonic response of such structures, it is desirable in practice to have analytical models based on simple physical ideas that can be implemented without considerable computer resources. Here, we present two efficient analytical methods based on improved electrostatic approximation (IEA) and modal expansion method (MEM) combined with the dipole equivalence method (DEM). The last approach avoids additional electromagnetic simulations and provides a direct bridge between analytical IEA and MEM models for bare particles and those with multilayer shells. As simple as the original IEA and MEM, the developed analytical extensions provide accurate extinction and scattering spectra for coated particles compared to exact calculations by separation of variable method and COMSOL. The possibility and accuracy of analytical models are illustrated by extensive simulations for prolate and oblate gold and silver nanoparticles with a maximal size of up to 200 nm, aspect ratio from 2 to 6, and 3-30 nm dielectric coating.

description: This paper proposes the use of on-line scheduling in human telesupervision of robot teams to determine and maximize the number of robots a human operator can manage at once. To maximize the number of robots in a team, the double- Shifted Shortest Processing Time (dSSPT) algorithm was proposed for this purpose. This scheduling algorithm has the objective of minimizing total downtime (or flow time) for the group. Simulated experimental results show that dSSPT: 1) reduces downtime with respect to existing scheduling algorithms; and 2) increases the achievable spanof- control (i.e., the number of robots supervised) in a human-multirobot team compared to an existing method of prediction [3], especially as the variation in task lengths increases.

description: For several years, India has been the leading country in terms of Human papillomavirus (HPV) related illness and deaths in the world (Singh et al., 2023). Despite this, HPV vaccination numbers in the country remain low as does research to understand the cause for these low numbers. This project sought to – 1) identify potential reasons for low vaccination uptake in the country and 2) design culturally-sensitive messages to improve HPV vaccination uptake. As a first step in addressing these project goals, interviews were conducted with 25 parents of girls aged 9-20 in Mumbai, India. Results revealed low utilization of sexual and reproductive healthcare, low willingness to discuss sexual contact with their children, as well as lack of awareness about the HPV vaccine. Overall, there was a positive view of HPV vaccination, however, most participants reported they would first seek information about the vaccine before deciding whether to seek the vaccine for their daughters. Among message sources, physicians, the government, and schools were most trusted while mass media, celebrities, and social media were viewed as the least trusted sources of HPV-related information. Narratives, social norms, and emotional appeal messages were the preferred persuasive appeals for most participants.Results from this study guided a message testing experiment to study the effect of message appeal and source on information-seeking when mediated by constructs of the Risk Information Seeking and Processing Model (RISP). No significant effect of source or appeal was found on any moderator and/or information-seeking. However, demographic factors such as gender, age, and education influenced the mediators, information-seeking, and vaccination intention. Furthermore, data about past HPV vaccine information-seeking behavior was collected from parents of vaccinated girls for insights on designing effective campaigns to encourage vaccine information-seeking among parents of unvaccinated girls. Findings from this study pave the way for interventional research to improve HPV vaccine uptake in India and provide insights on addressing the issue of low HPV awareness among parents.

AX-GADGET: a new code for cosmological simulations of Fuzzy Dark Matter and Axion models

description: We present a new module of the parallel N-Body code P-GADGET3 for cosmological simulations of light bosonic non-thermal dark matter, often referred as Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM). The dynamics of the FDM features a highly non-linear Quantum Potential (QP) that suppresses the growth of structures at small scales. Most of the previous attempts of FDM simulations either evolved suppressed initial conditions, completely neglecting the dynamical effects of QP throughout cosmic evolution, or resorted to numerically challenging full-wave solvers. The code provides an interesting alternative, following the FDM evolution without impairing the overall performance. This is done by computing the QP acceleration through the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) routines, with improved schemes to ensure precise and stable derivatives. As an extension of the P-GADGET3 code, it inherits all the additional physics modules implemented up to date, opening a wide range of possibilities to constrain FDM models and explore its degeneracies with other physical phenomena. Simulations are compared with analytical predictions and results of other codes, validating the QP as a crucial player in structure formation at small scales.

Higher order QCD corrections to the transverse and longitudinal fragmentation functions in electron-positron annihilation

description: We present the calculation of the order $α_s^2$ corrections to the coefficient functions contributing to the longitudinal ($F_L(x,Q^2)$) and transverse fragmentation functions ($F_T(x,Q^2)$) measured in electron-positron annihilation. The effect of these higher order QCD corrections on the behaviour of the fragmentation functions and the corresponding longitudinal ($dσ_L(x,Q^2)/dx$) and transverse cross sections ($dσ_T(x,Q^2)/dx$) are studied. In particular we investigate the dependence of the above quantities on the mass factorization scale ($M$) and the various parameterizations chosen for the parton fragmentation densities $D_p^H(x,M^2)$ ($p=q,g$; $H=π^\pm, K^\pm, P, \bar{P}$). Our analysis reveals that the order α_s^2 contributions to $F_L(x,Q^2)$ are large whereas these contributions to $F_T(x,Q^2)$ are small. From the above fragmentation functions one can also compute the integrated cross sections $σ_L$ and $σ_T$ in an independent way. The sum $σ_{tot} = σ_L + σ_T$, corrected up to order \alphastwo, agrees with the well known result in the literature providing us with an independent check an our calculations.

Embrioni soprannumerari, ricerca scientifica e divieti normativi. Riflessione a margine delle prime pronunce della giurisprudenza italiana e della Corte EDU

description: Article 13 L.40 / 04 provides for the total ban of clinical and experimental human embryo research. This principle operates independently of any assessment of the current condition in which the embryo is primary with regard to (non) possibilities relative (supernumerary embryos or abandoned) or absolute (non-viable embryos or those with chromosomal / genetic disorders) to be used for playback. The provision is, icto oculi, unreasonable and disproportionate because it does not allow to operate the necessary balance with the constitutionally protected interests related to the self-determination of the couple and scientific research aimed at the protection of individual and collective health. Some national judges and the Court of Human Rights rulings meeting for the first time the issue has by now acquired growing importance and topical relevance in view of the importance assumed in the therapeutic area of clinical research through the use of embryonic stem cells.

description: The well-known embryo transfer matter, which has been regulated by the Court of Rome with an order and the lack of a specific regulation concerning this particular case “by error” and similar particular cases, turns on the debate about the ownership of the filial relationship between “genetic parents” and “biological parents” and the status filiationis definition. By studying the current regulation concerning filiation and using the analogy interpretive tool, the authors examine this particular case making observations about the adequacy of the current regulation concerning such filial relationships, noticing that the filial relationship and the consequent right to personal identity has gradually diversified itsfelf by the naturalistic criterion of genetic membership to stress the voluntary aspect of the behavior meant as responsibility of the procreation and new principle of filiation.

description: Created for a first-year university course, this linear algebra textbook takes an unusual approach: it introduces vector spaces at the outset and deals with linear systems only after a thorough introduction to vector spaces. This approach is based on the authors' experience over the past 25 years that students often need more time to master vector spaces while traditional textbooks relegate the topic to the end of the course. In this way, these new notions at the heart of linear algebra that are often considered abstract and difficult in an introductory course can then be used in the rest of the course as well as in different contexts.
