description: We present experimental and computational studies of the propagation of internal waves in a stratified fluid with an exponential density profile that models the deep ocean. The buoyancy frequency profile $N(z)$ (proportional to the square root of the density gradient) varies smoothly by more than an order of magnitude over the fluid depth, as is common in the deep ocean. The nonuniform stratification is characterized by a turning depth $z_c$, where $N(z_c)$ is equal to the wave frequency $ω$ and $N(z < z_c) < ω$. Internal waves reflect from the turning depth and become evanescent below the turning depth. The energy flux below the turning depth is shown to decay exponentially with a decay constant given by $ k_c$, which is the horizontal wavenumber at the turning depth. The viscous decay of the vertical velocity amplitude of the incoming and reflected waves above the turning depth agree within a few percent with a previously untested theory for a fluid of arbitrary stratification [Kistovich and Chashechkin, J. App. Mech. Tech. Phys. 39, 729-737 (1998)].

description: Context IPMNs are intraductal mucin-producing cystic neoplasms of the pancreas. The incidence of these neoplasms is rising and it has been recently reported that IPMNs account for approximately 25% of resected pancreatic neoplasms. It has been described that recurrence of disease is observed in 26-65% of patients resected for invasive IPMN (also named papillary mucinous carcinoma), usually within 3 years from surgery and often in form of distant disease. However, in clinical trials of adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer patients with disease free survival as primary end-point, the postoperative work-up included only abdominal evaluation. Objective The main aim of our study was to evaluate the pattern of recurrence for patients resected for invasive IPMNs in order to better understand the natural history of disease and to optimize the follow up procedures. Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of patients who underwent radical surgical resection for invasive IPMN at University Hospital of Pisa, Italy, and who were adequately followed up at our institution; for these patients, total body computer tomography (CT) was repeated every 3 to 6 months for the first three years after surgical resection. Results Twenty-nine patients (M/F 16/13) progressed after resection for invasive IPMN were identified. Median age was 70 years (range 61-86 years). Disease progression occurred in form of liver metastases for 12 (41%) of them (with liver-only disease in 5 patients), lymph node involvement in 8 (28%), peritoneal carcinosis in 4 (14%), local recurrence in 5 (17%) and finally lung metastases in 14 (48%) patients; for 7 (24%) of these patients lung was the only site of progression. Median overall survival from evidence of metastases was 13.0 months. Conclusion We observed a high percentage of lung metastases as first and unique site of progression in patients resected for invasive IPMN. These data suggest the importance to perform chest CT as pre-operative and follow up exam in order to obtain an optimal staging and to early detect lung metastases.

description: We investigate the behavior of non-Euclidean plates with constant negative Gaussian curvature using the Föppl-von Kármán reduced theory of elasticity. Motivated by recent experimental results, we focus on annuli with a periodic profile. We prove rigorous upper and lower bounds for the elastic energy that scales like the thickness squared. In particular we show that are only two types of global minimizers -- deformations that remain flat and saddle shaped deformations with isolated regions of stretching near the edge of the annulus. We also show that there exist local minimizers with a periodic profile that have additional boundary layers near their lines of inflection. These additional boundary layers are a new phenomenon in thin elastic sheets and are necessary to regularize jump discontinuities in the azimuthal curvature across lines of inflection. We rigorously derive scaling laws for the width of these boundary layers as a function of the thickness of the sheet.
Reconciliation 'at the end of the day' : decolonizing territorial governance in British Columbia after Delgamuukw

description: This dissertation examines new relationships and reconciliation processes between First Nations and the province of British Columbia after the 1997 Supreme Court of Canada ruling in Delgamuukw, a decision that confirmed the continuing existence of Aboriginal title in the absence of treaties. Beginning with existing theories and critiques of reconciliation, I construct a framework for evaluating if reconciliation processes, and particularly those related to territorial governance, are genuine. The framework is then applied to an examination of new relationships, including co-governance, and a new Indigenous system of territorial governance: the Coastal First Nations’ Regional Monitoring System. In order to better understand how relationships are changing and competing claims to land and resources are being reconciled, I interviewed First Nation and provincial policy- and decision-makers, engaged in participant-observation as an employee of various First Nation groups, studied a case of Indigenous territorial governance, and analysed documentary evidence. I found that by strategically using the uncertainty of undefined Aboriginal rights, some First Nations are regaining governing power over their territories and inculcating a new vision for reconciliation in the province. Instead of focusing on treaties in a process designed to create certainty for settler governments, reconciliation is now seen by decision-makers on both sides as an incremental and ongoing process of building relationships, creating sustainable economies, co-governing with a common vision, and building capacity to meet these goals. I also argue that, despite systemic change, the relationship between the province and First Nations remains colonial. Ultimately, genuine reconciliation will require a relationship to which First Nations agree. Other requirements include the province relinquishing territorial control and observing Indigenous sovereignty in practice, the province compensating Indigenous peoples for their losses, and both parties negotiating on equal footing the sharing of decision-making authority and revenues where First Nations agree to co-govern. Overall, the study addresses power as yielded not in a single decolonizing act, but through many small acts in an ongoing process of reconciliation, thereby illuminating decolonization as it is currently and arguably occurring.

description: Context Whole-body 18fluor-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) has emerged as a promising diagnostic modality in different tumors. The role and the utility of 18FDG-PET/CT in resectable pancreatic cancer is debated. Objective To assess prospectively the value of 18FDG-PET/CT in addition to conventional imaging as a staging modality in candidates for resection of resectable pancreatic cancer. Methods Whole-body 18FDG-PET/CT was performed in 65 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who were judged resectable at high-resolution imaging. Neoadjuvant therapy was performed in the 20% of cases. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was evaluated 60 and 250 minutes after FDG injection. Results Eight out of 65 (12%) patients were spared unwarranted resection since 18FDG-PET/CT detected synchronous advanced lung cancer (n=1) or metastatic disease (n=7). Median CA 19-9 was 53 kU/L for the entire cohort and 291 kU/L for seven patients with metastases (P=0.005). In other two patients 18FDG-PET/CT identified one colon carcinoma and a thoracic neurinoma. Thirteen out of 65 (20%) patients had low metabolic activity (SUVmax<3), and 46% of these patients had undergone neoadjuvant treatment (P=0.008). At laparotomy 3/57 (5%) patients did not undergo resection because of locally-advanced (n=1) or metastatic disease (n=2). Fifty-four patients underwent pancreatic resections associated with 11 (20%) vascular resections and one left colectomy. N1 rate was 76%, with a median of 33 resected nodes. In 8/54 (15%) patients 18FDG-PET/CT identified metastatic lymph nodes that required an extension of lymphadenectomy. Sensitivity and specificity of 18FDG-PET/CT for the detection of metastatic disease were 80% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion 18FDG-PET/CT findings resulted in changes of therapeutic management/operative procedures in one third of patients. 18FDG-PET/CT improves staging of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. Neoadjuvant treatment is significantly associated with low metabolic activity limiting the value of 18FDG-PET/CT in this setting.

description: In the CP-violating Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, we study the production of a neutralino-chargino pair at the LHC. For their decays into three leptons, we analyze CP asymmetries which are sensitive to the CP phases of the neutralino and chargino sector. We present analytical formulas for the entire production and decay process, and identify the CP-violating contributions in the spin correlation terms. This allows us to define the optimal CP asymmetries. We present a detailed numerical analysis of the cross sections, branching ratios, and the CP observables. For light neutralinos, charginos, and squarks, the asymmetries can reach several 10%. We estimate the discovery potential for the LHC to observe CP violation in the trilepton channel.

description: Background The assessment of amylase value in drains (AVD) has been proposed as a predictor of pancreatic fistula (PF) after standard pancreatic resection. Nevertheless this model has never been validated. Objective To evaluate the accuracy of an AVD-based model in predicting PF after pancreatic resection. Methods We included 158 patients (68%) who underwent PD and 73 (32%) who underwent DP. AVD was prospectively measured in postoperative days (POD) 1. Patients with AVD >5,000 U/L in POD 1 underwent further AVD measurement in POD 5 according to the model proposed by Molinari et al. [1]. Results The rate of PF was 25% and 59% after PD and DP respectively. Blood transfusions (odds ratio (OR)=6.9, P=0.004), a “soft” pancreatic texture (OR=10.8, P<0.0001) and the AVD model (OR=38.7, P<0.0001) were independent predictors of PF after PD. The median AVD in POD 1 was significantly higher after DP respect of PD (9,320 U/L versus 3,250 U/L, P<0.0001).  The area under the receiving characteristic curve (ROC) was 0.892 (P<0.0001) for AVD in POD 1 after PD and 0.726 (P=0.001) after DP. The sensitivity and specificity of AVD-based model in patients who underwent PD were 55% and 97%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of AVD predictive model in patients who underwent DP were 70% and 97%. For PD group we tested a new model considering a cut-off of 2,000 U/L for POD 1 AVD (sensitivity 90% and specificity 75%) and 200 U/L for POD 5 AVD (sensitivity 89% and specificity 85%). The new model showed a sensitivity and specificity in predicting PF after PD of 78% and 95% respectively. Conclusion Although the specificity of the AVD-based model previously proposed is high, its sensibility does not allow a safe PF prediction. A POD 1 AVD cut-off of 2,000 U/L considerably increases the accuracy of this model in patients who underwent PD.

description: Since Classical times in Western thought Nature and Culture have been conceptualized as dualistic and belonging to separate and distinct domains of reference. Philosophers, scientists and lawyers throughout the ages have considered women’s destiny as being rooted passively in Nature, which was seen as repetitive and predictable. In a similar way they considered that sexuality and gender relations were unchangeable and based on biological elements that were immutable. Only the male could be active and creative at home in the realm of Logos.In Gender Studies this ancient dichotomy has been radically challenged. Numerous historical and cultural contexts have been examined in which both secular and religious powers have imposed determined prohibitions and patterns of behaviour concerning the physical body of men, women and children and the way in which their physicality should be expressed or repressed.This issue presents studies that consider the sphere of the body in its cultural and historical dimension.

description: We calculate the degree of horizon smoothness of multi- $M2$-brane solution with branes along a common axis. We find that the metric is generically only thrice continuously differentiable at any of the horizons. The four-form field strength is found to be only twice continuously differentiable. We work with Gaussian null-like co-ordinates which are obtained by solving geodesic equations for multi-$M2$ brane geometry. We also find different, exact co-ordinate transformations which take the metric from isotropic co-ordinates to co-ordinates in which metric is thrice differentiable at the horizon. Both methods give the same result that the multi-$M2$ brane metric is only thrice continuously differentiable at the horizon.

description: We review the main results and ideas showing that quantum correlations at finite temperatures (T), in particular quantum discord, are useful tools in characterizing quantum phase transitions that only occur, in principle, at the unattainable absolute zero temperature. We first review some interesting results about the behavior of thermal quantum discord for small spin-1/2 chains and show that they already give us important hints of the infinite chain behavior. We then study in detail and in the thermodynamic limit (infinite chains) the thermal quantum correlations for the XXZ and XY models, where one can clearly appreciate that the behavior of thermal quantum discord at finite T is a useful tool to spotlight the critical point of a quantum phase transition.

description: Se per canone si intende il criterio normativo che disciplina un campo di ricerca scientifico, è evidente che gli studi di genere abbiano avviato un’attenta riflessione critica sui singoli statuti disciplinari. Questo numero della rivista si propone di raccogliere e mettere a confronto espressioni significative di tale riflessione, nella prospettiva non già di integrare l’organizzazione canonica dei saperi con qualche frammentario supplemento di una cultura di genere banalizzata e depotenziata, ma di decostruire la tradizione culturale del Soggetto unico che si autoproclama  universale e neutro, camuffando la sua parzialità di soggetto maschile, eterosessuale, appartenente all’élite. E’ questa l’unica strada per  aprire i canoni disciplinari a nuovi paradigmi euristici e interpretativi e valorizzare la pluralità delle esperienze e dei soggetti.

description: After devoting attention predominantly to motherhood, in recent times Gender Studies has begun to investigate fatherhood. Research has been carried on to explore what it was like to be father in different contexts and ages. The delay in research on fatherhood is easily explained by the circumstance that traditionally women have been represented mostly in their private sphere, while men in the public area. Often fatherhood itself has been considered as an element giving status and social prestige to the paterfamilias. In this issue we aim instead at investigating the intimate relations between fathers and their sons and daughters. This issue presents a number of studies on particular cases of paternal relations as well as essays on more general aspects of fatherhood, in a philosophical, anthropological and historical perspective.

We show this by considering the ergodic properties of such quantum correlation measures in transverse quantum XY spin-1/2 systems in low dimensions. While entanglement measures are ergodic in such models, the quantum correlation measures defined from an information-theoretic perspective can be nonergodic.

description: We investigate the origin of the high Neel temperature recently found in Tc perovskites. The electronic structure in the magnetic state of SrTcO3 and its 3d analogue SrMnO3 is calculated within a framework combining band-structure and many-body methods. In agreement with experiment, the Neel temperature of SrTcO3 is found to be four times larger than that of SrMnO3. We show that this is because the Tc-compound lies on the verge of the itinerant-to-localized transition, and also has a larger bandwidth, while the Mn-compound lies deeper into the localized side. For SrTcO3 we predict that the Neel temperature depends weakly on applied pressure, in clear violation of Bloch's rule, signaling the complete breakdown of the localized picture.

Bulgaria, Year 1918. Disappointments and Hopes
Creators: name: Stantchev, Krassimir
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici

description: In 1918 Bulgaria was supposed to celebrate 40 years from the liberation from Ottoman rule (1878) having gathered, as it was believed, all Bulgarian ethnolinguistic territory under the national flag. The end of the First World War, however, went differently for the Bulgarians and caused a deep hiatus after which nothing was as before. Paradoxically, it is precisely the warlike defeat that led to a total renewal of the Bulgarian culture and, in particular, of the literature to which this article is dedicated. The author takes a quick look at the previous century to better highlight the radical novelties in the Bulgarian post-1918 literature: 1) the denial of realism and patriotism – the two fundamental characteristics of Bulgarian literature after 1878, even when it waved the banner of modernism; 2) the aggressive entry of the expressionist and/or futurist poetics through the literary and editorial work of Geo Milev; 3) the anti-expressionist positions of the promoters of the ‘pansymbolism’ that presented itself as the alternative novelty in the field of art; 4) the romantic-revolutionary poetry of Ch.

Collapse assessment of concrete buildings : an application to non-ductile reinforced concrete moment frames
Creators: name: Baradaran Shoraka, Majid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Existing reinforced concrete buildings lacking details for ductile response during earthquake shaking represent prevalent construction type in high seismic zones around the world. Seismic rehabilitation of these existing buildings plays an important role in reducing urban seismic risk; however, with the massive inventory of existing concrete buildings and high costs of seismic rehabilitation, it is necessary to start by identifying and retrofitting those buildings which are most vulnerable to collapse. The collapse of most non-ductile concrete buildings will be controlled by the loss of support for gravity loads prior to the development of a side-sway collapse mechanism. “Gravity load collapse” may be precipitated by axial-load failure of columns, punching-shear failure of slab-column connections, or axial-load failure beam-column joints. In this dissertation, system-level collapse criteria are developed and implemented in a structural analysis platform to allow for a more accurate detection of collapse in these existing moment frames. Detailed models for primary components, which may precipitate gravity-load collapse of the concrete moment frame, are first required to achieve this objective and develop the collapse assessment framework. An analytical model based on mechanics is developed to reliably capture the lateral load–deformation response of a broad range of reinforced concrete columns with limited ductility due to degradation of shear resistance, either before or after flexural yielding. The robust collapse performance assessment could be used for many structural applications. In this dissertation, it is used to identify collapse indicators, design and response parameters that are correlated with “elevated” collapse probability. The collapse assessment framework is also used to identify the relative collapse risk of different rehabilitation techniques. Finally, the framework is used to estimate the impact of collapse criteria on the expected financial losses for existing concrete frame buildings in high seismic zones. This dissertation includes important contributions to (1) modeling techniques for components in existing concrete frames through the development of a mechanical model for existing concrete columns, (2) development of system-level collapse criteria, and (3) application of collapse fragilities in defining collapse indicators, improving loss estimation of existing concrete frames, and differentiating the collapse performances of existing and retrofitted concrete frames.

description: A fully discrete approximation of the linear stochastic wave equation driven by additive noise is presented. A standard finite element method is used for the spatial discretisation and a stochastic trigonometric scheme for the temporal approximation. This explicit time integrator allows for error bounds independent of the space discretisation and thus do not have a step size restriction as in the often used Störmer-Verlet-leap-frog scheme. Moreover it enjoys a trace formula as does the exact solution of our problem. These favourable properties are demonstrated with numerical experiments.

description: We present a new approach to computing multiplets for core spectroscopies, whereby the crystal field is constructed explicitly from the positions and charges of surrounding atoms. The simplicity of the input allows the consideration of crystal fields of any symmetry, and in particular facilitates the study of spectroscopic effects arising from low symmetry environments. The interplay between polarization directions and crystal field can also be conveniently investigated. The determination of the multiplets proceeds from a Dirac density functional atomic calculation, followed by the exact diagonalization of the Coulomb, spin-orbit and crystal field interactions for the electrons in the open shells. The eigenstates are then used to simulate X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering spectra. In examples ranging from high symmetry down to low symmetry environment, comparisons with experiments are done with unadjusted model parameters as well as with semi-empirically optimized ones. Furthermore, predictions for the RIXS of low-temperature MnO and for Dy in a molecular complex are proposed.

description: Conformal blocks for four point functions for fields with arbitrary spins in two dimensions are obtained by evaluating an appropriate integral. The results are just products of hypergeometric functions of the conformally invariant cross ratios formed from the four complex coordinates.

description: In the simplest scenario, disk galaxies form predominantly in halos with high angular momentum and quiet recent assembly history, whereas spheroids are the slowly-rotating remnants of repeated merging events. We explore these assumptions using one hundred systems with halo masses similar to that of the Milky Way, identified in a series of cosmological gasdynamical simulations GIMIC. At z=0, the simulated galaxies exhibit a wide variety of morphologies, from dispersion-dominated spheroids to pure disk galaxies. Surprisingly, these morphological features are very poorly correlated with their halo properties: disks form in halos with high and low net spin, and mergers play a negligible role in the formation of spheroid stars, most of which form in-situ. More important to morphology is the coherent alignment of the angular momentum of baryons that accrete over time to form a galaxy. Spheroids tend to form when the spin of newly-accreted gas is misaligned with that of the extant galaxy, leading to the episodic formation of stars with different kinematics that cancel out the net rotation of the system. Disks, on the other hand, form out of gas that flows in with similar angular momentum to that of earlier-accreted material. Gas accretion from a hot corona thus favours disk formation, whereas gas that flows "cold", often along separate, misaligned filaments, favours the formation of spheroids. In this scenario, most spheroids consist of superpositions of stellar components with distinct kinematics, age, and metallicity, an arrangement that might survive to the present day given the paucity of major mergers. Since angular momentum is acquired largely at turnaround, morphology is imprinted early by the interplay of the tidal field and the shape of the material destined to form the galaxy.

description: Background: To date, little attention has focused on what the factors are and how Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs) are sustained in acute care over time. Problem: For ten years, a multi-site acute care center supported the use of a Pain Assessment and Management Policy and Protocol (Pain P/P), placing the decision to use it with point of care nurses. Despite early implementation success, the nursing department identified an evidence-based gap on Medicine care units. Purpose: To (i) identify factors influencing nurses’ use (or not) of the Pain P/P over time, and ten years post-implementation; (ii) examine related knowledge translation interventions (KTIs) used over time, and ten years post-implementation; (iii) validate unit nurses’ use of the Pain P/P ten years post-implementation; and (iv) identify relevant sustainability frameworks/models/theories (F/M/Ts), constructs and factors for sustained use of BPGs in acute care. Methodology: A case study of an organization-wide nursing BPG was conducted ten years following initial implementation using mixed methods guided by the Dynamic Sustainability Framework (Chambers, 2013). The case study setting was a 1122 bed acute care center in Canada. I examined BPG sustainability at the (corporate) department and unit levels (two embedded subcases). Data sources included 19 informant interviews (3-corporate, 16-unit level), 200 chart audits (100/subcase), and 29 documents. I concurrently conducted a systematic review to identify sustainability concepts and factors for use in acute care to compare case study results. Results: I identified 7 constructs, 49 factors, and 29 KTIs influencing sustained use of evidence-base practices (EBPs) in acute care. Three factors and eight KTIs had a continuous influence during implementation and sustained use phases. Findings confirm the concept of sustainability is a dynamic ‘process’ or ‘ongoing phase’. Conclusions: This thesis provides a novel resource to support future practice and research aimed at sustaining EBPs to improve nursing practice and related patient outcomes. Attention to the level of application and changing conditions over time impacting factors that influence EBP use is required for sustainment. Use of a participatory approach to engage users in designing remedial plans and link KTIs to target behaviors that incrementally address low adherence rates promotes sustainability.

description: We study the quantum phase transition in optical lattices using ordinary Bose Hubbard Hamiltonian within two loop approximation in variational perturbation theory. We have shown that this approximation can reproduce superfluid Mott insulator transition in contrast to the simple Bogoliubov or Hartee - Fock - Popov approximations. The superfluid fraction and ground state energy per particle vs input parameters of the model are studied.

Traces of Runic Lore in Italy: The Wooden Calendar 'Book' in Bologna and Its Medieval Connections
Creators: name: Cucina, Carla
Publisher: name: Società culturale Classiconorroena
Year: 2013
Subjects: Calendar runes; Scandinavian Middle Ages; Medieval Calendar lore; Saints

description: This paper is the text of a public lecture, held at the National Museum of Denmark (23rd April 2009), dealing with a valuable and well-preserved runic calendar from the Museo Civico Medievale in Bologna. It is a late example of wooden ‘rimbok’, i.e. a portable calendar made up of different wooden tablets – each for one or more of the twelve months of the year – tied together in the form of a book. Typology and style of the artifact tell of a Swedish model, but its origin is to be placed in France. More detailed both in calendar information and in the iconographic apparatus than commonly seen in medieval Scandinavian wooden ‘rimbokar’ or ‘rimstavar’ (i.e. calendar sticks), the ‘runic book’ of Bologna rather shows some formal resemblance to the Swedish runic manuscript calendars preserved on parchment, and reveals peculiar closeness to a few other calendars of the same kind spread in European antiquarian collections. An introduction to the runic and iconographic features of the Italian calendar, also seen against the vast background of late and post-medieval runic and calendar lore in Western Europe, as well as a brief account of the circumstances of its being now part of the Medieval section of the Musei Civici in Bologna, form the main concern of the present article.
